Conviction Felt That Afro-American Churchman Have Gained Nothing. By This Change in the Church's Constitution—Extension of Disfranchisement to Religious Denomination Viewed With Apprehension: RASSMOND, Oct. 28—With a service at imposing and equaling in pomp and dignity the service which marked the opening of the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal church in America, the memorable convention was brought to an end at the Church of the Holy Trinity. The work of the convention, which extended over a period of nearly three weeks, was closely watched by the Afro-American people of Richmond and the entire State and presumably the entire country, as there was much interest as to what stand the church would take in regard to its Afro-American churchmen. The "Negro Problem" was the foremost one in the deliberations of the body, and while it was discussed in its every phase, there was but little of unpleasantness to mar the debates. teachers in the African school. Bishop Ferguson closed his remarks by telling of the "Devil Doctor," which been converted and later cemented as a great deal for the church. He also asked that two bells be given him to be used in the mission work. He said that he had asked his colored brethren to furnish one, and would ask his white brethren to furnish the other, to show that young Virginia had the same love and took the same interest in the African mission that old Virginia had taken. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES Live News of Lincoln—Visit of Editor Chile—Mr. Principal Address. Jennerson City, Mo. October 29—The three delegates sent by the Institute Y. M. C. A. to the annual State meeting at Fulton returned with a glowing The Rev. William Meade Clark, of Richmond, editor of the Southern Churchman, was a strong advocate for those principles that would place the Afro-American churchmen on an equal standing with all churchmen. In his masterly speech for missionary bishops in the missionary office, with dramatic effect, he exclaimed, "I for once, in accord with the President of the United States when he pleads to give the Negro a chance and not to shut the 'door of hope' in his face." He urged that the Negro be given the Episcopate. The House of Bishops, by a good majority, adopted the plan as presented in the memorial of colored church workers in the missionary office. After the plan had been adopted by the bishops a message was received from the House of Deputies that the plan providing for suffrage bishops had been adopted by that body. The House of Bishops thereupon changed their action to one of concurrence. The change in the constitution as passed by both houses inserts the instrument, the following, shall be for a diocese with consent of the bishop of that diocese, to elect one or more suffragan bishops, without right of succession, and with seat and without vote in the House of Bishops. A suffragan bishop shall be concerned and hold office under such conditions and limitations other than those provided in this article as may be provided by canons of the general convention. He will be a suffragan bishop, the adjutor of a diocese or as a suffragan in another diocese, or he may be elected by the House of Bishops as a missionary bishop. It can be plainly seen from this change that the Afro-American churchman has gained nothing. Suffragan bishops may be either white or colored, doing the work that is now being done by archdeacons both white and colored. The only difference is that they will be allowed a seat in the House of Bishops where they will be ecclesiastically disfranchised. It will be difficult to find a self-respecting American archdeacons who knowing that a disfranchised disfranchisement means, to accept a higher position in his church, well knowing that when he does it he is anctioning disfranchisement in his rights as a churchman. The most notable joint session of the two houses was held in St. Paul's, Monday night, October 14. "Work Among the Negroes in the South" waged discontent by the Rt. Rev. Thomas D. Bratton, Bishop of Mississippi, and "The West African," by Rt. Rev. S. Ferguson, D. D. L. Bishop of Cape Palms, Bishop Ferguson said that when charge there were 419 communicants, and now there are 2,572; that when he took charge there had been 1,809 baptisms, and since that time there have been 5,879; that there had been confirmed before his coming 1,033 people, and since that time 2,914; that there were 192 boarding school pupils in the schools on his arrival, and now there were 577; that the day pupils numbered 45, and now they number 10.1.; in the schools there were 633, and there are 2,296. There were fourteen catechism teachers when he came; now there are fifty-nine, of whom thirty are natives; that there were thirteen clergymen, and now there are twenty-seven, of whom eleven are natives. Congratulating his church on its growth in Africa, he recalled that Bishop Penick had said, that it was not making the move toward self-support. Bishop Penick's time, during the past year the church in Africa had contributed for self-support $10,000; that it is rapidly becoming self-supporting; that it is building churches and sending missionaries into the interior, and that the women, women and children are learning the work, and acquiring a feeling of self- church, he said, are industrial the pls, where the boys could be taught operatives, and if such schools were fur- rished, it would not be long before he p公 came to the Board of Missions turn to our other other channels we are self-supporting." He told of aggrit school that has been built for girls, known as the Julia C. Emory Hall, which is yet to be furnished. He made a strong plea for the girls to attend the boys' school, and for $1,000 to educate a printer and cabinetmaker to be teachers in the African school. Bishop Ferguson closed his remarks by telling of the "Devil Doctor," who had lately been converted. He said that this conversion meant a great deal for the church. He also asked that two bells be given him to be used in the mission work. He said that he had asked his colored brethren to furnish one, and would ask his white brethren to furnish the other, to show that young Virginia had the same love and took the same interest in the African mission that old Virginia had taken. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES Live News of Lincoln—Visit of Editor Chilien—His Principal Address. JEPPERSON CITY, Mo., October 29. The three delegates sent by the Institute Y. M. C. A. to the annual State meeting at Fulton returned with a glowing description of the interesting sessions and of the fine treatment accorded them, Grant Tayes, us, who as president, gave a graphic account of the meeting at the chapel exercises of Wednesday last; and stated, among other matters of interest, that the Lincoln Institute pennant was admitted on all sides to be the most beautiful among the many displayed from the various branches of Y. M. C. A. represented at Fulton. The preparer by daily exercise on the gridiron, cross country runs, etc., to meet Fisk, Western University and other college teams. Every week brings large additions, to the already heavy enrollment of students; but it is a good natured set of young people, and with very few exceptions, if any, all seem to know the purpose, for which they are here and accordingly are setting themselves with regard to the task of securing an education. President Allen has been very fortunate in securing such motherly; Christian women for matrons as Mrs. Delia Adams, of New Orleans, La., and Mrs. McDowell, of Hannibal. My parents who are sending their girls and boys to the institute will now be their children, given every necessary attention by these estimable women in all matters pertaining to health, morals and general well-being. Among visitors of the week we note with much pleasure our genial and fearless Editor Chiles of The Plain Dealer, who as a friend of the institution, as a stammer defender of right and injustice, is always a welcome guest at Lincoln Institute. Editor Chiles' very practical address before the faculty and student assembled was an inspiration to all Agriculture is one of the leading industries taught in this school, and although this was not the occasion of our visit, we were pleased to see that Chiles could and would return for that, his remarks along this above mentioned line alone, and based upon his own personal experiences as a truck farmer, etc., were worth many times the price one pays for a first class lecture; to say nothing of many other points touched upon in the course of the address. Speaking of editors we are much pleased to read that in recent remarks in Edinburgh, that true friend of our race, Mr. Carnegie, paid a high compliment to the progress of the American Negro generally, and to the Negro newspaper man specifically. We also, as a race, would do well to pause occasionally and consider how much we owe to our peers among editors, from Frederick Donglass, or perhaps earlier, to the present time; and in their fearless exposition of the "Negro case in equity" we shall find much of our present problem lies. Hence in the active work of Edith Tait from the active work of Tait Aaron well for his friend, and well wishers to show him in some more tangible way than by mere "words, words, words" their respect and admiration for the great work he has accomplished for the race, through long years of service in the newspaper field. Why do we so often keep back even the flowers and kind words that would add so much of cheer to this present life, to place them above the lifeless clay, or the silent tombs? JOSEPHINE S. YATES HOWARD ORFAN ASYLUM. The Women's Anxiliary to the board of managers of the Howard Orphan Asylum, Brooklyn holds its annual meeting in the parlor of the main building of the institution last Friday afternoon. Mrs. H. L. Kemp, of Decatur street, and Mrs. H. E. Gilbert, of Donglass street, were added to the membership roll. Preparations for the annual dinner which is to be given under the auspices of the auxiliary, to raise funds for the institution, on November 14. Others for the closing year were elected as follows: President, Mrs. J. W. Whitlatch; vice presidents, Mrs. J. W. Richard Holkman, Mrs. M. G. Hansen and Mrs. E. F. Ray, recording secretary, Mrs. Lydia C. Smith, treasurer, Mrs. Harriet Underhill, corresponding secretary, Mrs. Emile Berke, the recorder, and Mrs. Robert H. O'Neill, assembled during the year. Mrs. Whitlatch and Mrs. Gordon made interesting addresses reviewing the work. The institution now has a family of 620 children and there are 32 boys at the farm. AN APRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION TESTINONIAL RECEPTION Grand Army Birth and Women Honor Rev. W. T. Dixon. An event unique in purpose, sound in principle and patriotic in spirit took place at the Concord Baptist church of Christ in Brooklyn on Thursday evening, October 24, when a large gathering of Grand army men, Sons of Veterans, the Women's Relief Corps and other, public spirited citizens united with William Lloyd Garrison Post, No. 207, Grand Army of the Republic, in tendering to the Rev. William T. Dixon, D. D., a magnificent testimonial reception and a set of resolutions engrossed and neatly framed, in recognition of his services in organizing William Lloyd Garrison Post twenty-six years ago. The meeting was called to order by Pastor W. T. Dixon. Rev. L. Joseph Brown, D. R., pastor of Berean Baptist church, read the sixixti Psalm and Chaplain Robert Lee of Garrison Post made the message "American," after which Dr. Dixon feelingly delivered the address of welcome to the Grand-Army posts and visitors. In introducing the Women's Relief Corps he said: "We are living in a wonderful age, that will tell in the future for the equalization of woman's part with man's part in the battlefield nursing wounded soldiers, at home doing, service while husbands, sons or brothers fight for home and m COL. PIERRE ZENO have land, they have ever been an inspiration to the cause of human rights the world over." A group of girls from the relief corps sang the "Star Spangled Banner." They were replaced upon the platform by four little girls, Elise Zeno Bommer, Lillian Winston, Amis Watkins and Maggie Stewart (Garrison Guard girls), bearing the framed resolutions, which were presented to Dr. Dixon by Past Commander Miles O'Roby of U.S. Grant Post, in an eloquent speech commending the recipient for his great interest in Grand Army men and his dedication to the mission of the minister of the gospel "Where the flag and the church travel together" said he "success is bound to follow." Dr. Dixon accepted the resolutions withitting remarks, at the conclusion of which his granddaughter, Miss Eva Dixon, presented to him a large bouquet of flowers in behalf of Garrison Guard Girls of the Relief Corps. Commander Pierre Zeno rose to patriotic heights in presenting tokens of esteem from Garrison Post in making Dr. Dixon an honorary member. He is perhaps the most widely known Grand Army men of the race in this section of the country and one of the few who saw service at the front in the late War of the Rebellion, from Fort U.S. Cavalry and at New Orleans. He commanded Thoums of Dakins Post read letters of regret from several comrades and clergymen, among them one from Ex-County Register James R. Howe, who had been invited by Commander Zeno to present the resolutions to Dr. Dixon. There were addresses by Commander Butts, Comrade Fate; Dr William L Hunter, M D. Dr' V R Cooper and several old "Dets" who followed the emperor from 61 to 65. A brief sketch of Garrison Post was read by John Dackerson of Californi Camp, John of Lloyd Lloyd Garrison Post, No 207, Army of the Republic, Department of New York, was organized April 18, 1851, in Brooklyn, by Rev William F Dixon; Comrade Little, Post Commander John Little and Major Walker of Post 10, with twentys charter members, out of which number three only survive. They are Samuel Williams, William Stansberg, John L Hunter, Charles E McFarland and Lois Lee, Commander Colonel Polefur, who is the present commander, Robert Lax, Chauin, and John D Montone admirer. Oldest Underwriter in New York, New James Winterbottom, the oldest undertaker in New York, died in the New York Hospital after an illness of six weeks. Mr Winterbottom was eighty three years old. It is estimated that he had buried more than 30,000 people in the fifty-time or more years that he had been undertaker. The nearest the time draws for holding the National Republican convention the more quiet the bombhasts of Washington City become. Chicago, Oct. 29. A few days ago a colored man from the State of Missouri came to Chicago. There is not much in this bare statement to arrest the attention. But this man, whose name is Charles L. Baker, was not like other men who have come to the growing metropolis. He is an inventor, but we have here so many inventors and inventions that this announcement attracted little or no attention. After he had been here a short time and people began to know of his invention and realize its immense commercial value, this Charles L. Baker appeared as a sort of black Eiffel. Though but 47 years of age he has made and developed twenty-six patents. He is the most instant in sight and knowledge of the laws of mechanics of any colored man who has gained reputation as an inventor. The particular invention now on exhibition in Chicago is known as "Baker's Super-Heating Molecule Union." The value of this invention is its producing of heat without combustion. There is something wonderfully subtle about this apparently insignificant bit of machinery to hold within itself such as inward energy. There cannot be no scientific explanation for the results produced by this invention; it really defies all the established maxims of science. But the most important thing about this mysterious piece of mechanism is its practicability. Unlike many other clever inventions, this "Super-Heating Molecule Union" has already become a money-making invention. It is now capitalized at $1,500,000. So far, no corporation now developing the company. In fact, the company at this moment has more orders than it can fill in ten years. The first and most important use of the machine is the heating of railway and street cars. The Santa Railroad is using many of these machines in heating its cars and has closed a contract for three thousand of them. The saving money that its general use in a few years seems altogether desirable. Mr. Baker declares that with his machine he can thoroughly heat a car at a cost not to exceed $10 per month. By present methods the cost is $100 per month. The machines are not sold, but rented or leased. The practical value of the machine is of course its size. Most men know that every clever mechanical contrivance invented has a money-making value. Baker seems to have realized something more substantial than praise out of his invention. He is said to have already given $1,000 to the Tuskegee Institute and $2,000 to a Catholic school in St. Louis. He is said to have already given $1,000 to the Tuskegee Institute and $2,000 to a Catholic school in St. Louis. He is said to have already given $1,000 to the Tuskegee Institute and $2,000 to a Catholic school in St. Louis. He was born near this city. He had no schooling except what he picked up from irregular attendance at the common schools of the country. He is a man of quiet and unpretentious manner. Unlike most inventors, he is not loquacious or boastful. He uses mechanical terms with the utmost precision, as if he had been educated in a school of technology. While he is a mechanical genius, of the higher order, there are no outward indications of the fact that he is a man and like a man every day, man of average Negro intelligence. If, however, his talk turns on mechanics, he will follow you into any region explorer or unexplored you may dare to enter. Unless your correspondent is very much deceived this plain every day black man from Missouri will be heard from, and some day "show" us something that will make us all proud. The second annual meeting of the stockholders of the Black Diamond Development Company was held in this city on the 19th most. There was a large and enthusiastic gathering of stockholders from out of town. This year's showing was gratifying Mr W R Taylor, president of "The True R reformers" has been added to the directory. During the past week your correspondent had the privilege of meeting the progressive women of Grand Rapids, Mich. These Michigan women have caught the spirit of the Frederick Doughlass Centre and kindred institutions and are making a most commendable effort to protect and save the young women who come to their city from the dangers of odleness and homelessness. Under the wise leadership of Mrs. M. R. Googawage, the president of the woman of both races of that city a beautifully appointed home for girls will soon be an established fact. In this home some of the industries, such as dressmaking, millinery, cooking and all kinds of domestic science, will be taught. I know of no city in the Northern States of the size of Grand Rapids where the colored people live in and own such fine and tasteful homes. They have caught the spirit of homemaking and this spirit is reflected in the high character of the colored people. Mrs. Mary Church Kerrell was in the city during the last week, and while here was the guest of the Frederick Doughlass Centre. She addressed two meetings at Quincy and Bristol churches respectively. Mr. James Edgar Franche present editor of the Chicago Conservator, hastened for his old home in Kentucks for the purpose of getting married. After a pleasant homeliness he and his precious bride will make Chicago their permanent home. Dr Spencer C Duckerson, formerly of New Bedford, Mass. has come to Chi- cago for the purpose of establishing himself self here in his profession. H. is for the present associated with Dr. George C. Hall, one of the best known physicians and surgeons in the Northwest. Dr. Dickerson has had a fine medical training and has done some very interesting scientific work in connection with his practice. Dr. Dickerson is a physician and his friends, confidently expect him to win deserved success in his new field. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. WASHINGTON IN PITTSBURG Addresses the Mass Meeting of the An- niversary Meeting of the Freedmen's Aid and Southern Educational Nobility. Pittsburgh, Oct. 27.—The last time Dr. Washington visited our city he was accorded a demonstration, the equal of which in uniqueness of character and importance, had never before been given to a member of our race, and that was during the dedication of the Carnegie Building and Library. It will be remembered that in connection with those exercises dignitaries from nearly every foreign country, as well as great interests, public and private, important institutions, colleges and universities in this country were represented, but Dr. Washington representing the Tuskegee Mennonite only member of our race honored with an invitation to be present and take part in the dedicatory exercises. To-day Dr. Washington visited Pittsburgh again. He came to deliver an address in the mass meeting of the anniversary exercises of the Freedmen's Aid and Educational Society which is being held in the Emory Methodist Episcopal church, the University of Alabama, and present churches in this city, and one whose congregation has figured largely in assisting the work of the Freedmen's Aid and Educational Society's work. Long before the hour the exercises were to begin the church was filled to an overflowing. It was an audience made up of Pittsburgh's most cultured and representative citizens. As he usually does, Dr. Washington made the address of the hour, and what he said was we received. Notwithstanding there was a lack of attention heard him before, he received the closest attention from every one present. No matter how many times one hears Dr. Washington speak they always seem ready to hear him again, and one can always, to an advantage, hear him again. At the close of the address Dr. Washington received, in addition to the Chauquiana salute, an ovation, led by Dr. W. R. Wedderspoon, pastor of Entory church, which was simply a spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm wrought by a man who has won the heart of the masses. The address of Dr. Washington, optimistic to the core, full of sensible advice, replete with interesting statistics, was a masterly presentation of facts as to the accomplishments of the Negro, particularly in the Southern States, and even though most of its are familiar with the general trend of Dr. Washington's optimism concerning the future of the Negro in this country, we were surprised, and must admit that from the beginning, that the Negro in the South is much further advanced than we of our race in the North have been willing to accept him. NATIVE KING IN AFRICA. Policy Purposed by European Powers Toward Some Rules Fresh from the New York Sun. The other day an eleven-year-old black boy, arrayed in red and gilt, was received with royal honors as he arrived to grace a public function near the corner of Vidoria Square. Cameron roared, the land played and "enthusiasm was at fever heat" in the great crowd of natives. His English teacher had written a little speech which the boy unclaimed without accident; the British officials took pains to show him all respect. This little fellow is the King of Uganda, the latest of a long line of rulers who have occupied the throne since the time of Queen Elizabeth. The British, absolute rulers of this land, keep him on the throne because he has a million subjects, whose layalty and devotion to their king, grandson of the great Mesa, is boundless. The British have wholly controlled, from the day of his birth, every influence about him. He is the native emblem of their power, and they call him king, because he has the authority with him without him. This is the policy of all the colonial powers in Africa when they have to do with native rulers of great influence. These native rulers, perhaps unfortunately, are not all little boys like his Highness of Uganda. The Belgians, for example, have a king on their hands in the northeast part of the Congo State who is more interesting than the ordinary run of African royalty, because he is a potentate of many wiles who is always straining, though he never wholly ruptures, the teathe he promised to the white government. This native king is Seuma, who does about as he pleases in a territory twice as large as Massachusetts. The story of his father, who published in Paris, reveals a remarkable native, who lives without luxury, as assumed "style," and is distinguished simply because his fathers and he were superior in intelligence to their people and acquired great power over them. Years ago Sinai accepted the severely rigidity of the Free State because he thought it politic to do so. But it is amusing to read how affection this old man has for the white government without jeopardizing his own power. He is described as always gentle politic and tactful. He quarrels with no one. He receives orders, compliments and reproaches with the same gracious smile. He solemnly attains his desicion to the government, and he is always careful when he does as he pleases. He is most ingenious in discovering insuperable obstacles to fulfilling his promise. REPUBLICAN POLITICS TAKES NEW LIFE IN WASHINGTON Chicago or Kansas City May Get Next National Convention Ex-Register Lyons, of Georgia, a Conspicuous Figure in Sittings of Committee—Oklahoma Statehood Delegation Visits Washington and is Received by President Reozevelt—Vacancy to Be Filled in Magisterial District. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 30.—The political atmosphere is full of currents and counter-currents. Statesmen of high and low degree are coming in daily, and their pilgrimages to the White House form a highly-interesting picture. The Sixtieth Congress is approaching, and as its sins of omission or of commission will have a vital effect upon the fortunes of the Republican party in next year's Titanic struggle, the clans are gathering early and are keeping the President as busy as a whole hive of bees attending to their multifarious wants. The Chief Executive has had a good rest, however, and having a distinct liking for "the strenuous life," is proving equal to the already terrific demand upon his staying powers. Childs, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, Dr. A. M. Curtis, and others are mentioned as suitable timber. An attempt may be made to induce Justice Robert H. Terrell to consent to the use of his name in his connection. So much has been caused before by the primary system of voting, which, it is said, permitted such wholesale ballotbox stuffing, that the advocates of a "clean election" are proposing a delegate convention as the best means of confining the choice to a trustworthy element of the electorate. It is expected that the President will fill in every week that has existed for several months in the office of Justice of the Peace, caused by the death of Judge L. I. O'Neal. It has been known for quite a while that Former Justice E. M. Hewlett is an applicant, but a surprise was sprung Thursday by the announcement of the THE heavyweights of the Republican National Committee have come and gone. The press dispatches have told the story of their deliberations. The full committee will meet on the 6th of December to decide upon a time and place for the assembling of the next national committee, before the opinion of the wisecases that the great conclave will be held early in June, and that the city chosen will be either Chicago or Kansas City. Former Register of the Treasury Judson W. Lyons, the Georgia member of the national committee, and the only colored man remaining of the galaxy of Negro leaders who graced the council in the palmy days was William McKinley, through which clustered about Acting-Chairman New and Secretary Dover during the sittings, and he held a number of conferences with Senators, Representatives and porminent fellow-partisans, touching the problems affecting the colored Republicans of the country, as well as the party as a whole. Mr. W. Lyons was engaged in the practice of the law with the commissioner of Augusta Ga, and is making a success of it. His cases are important ones, and when in the city, his tall form may be seen in making the rounds of the departments in the interest of his clients. Being asked as to his preference for the Presidential nomination, he smilingly announced that he was for "the best man." He ventured the assertion, newly discovered, of the defection among the colored voters in the several States, for all realize the necessity for electing a Republican President, not only for the protection of the civil and political rights of the race, but for economic reasons. The Democrats, besides brazenly setting ataught the constitutional guarantees of civic equality for the Negros of the land, have been managing the financial affairs of the nation, having not the confidence of the people. As a member of the national committee he could not discuss matters that were necessarily of a confidential character, but he felt optimistic of the future. In Georgia a stiff fight is being waged against the ratification of the disfranchising amendments, and if the day comes when he cannot be laid a lack of energetic opposition on the part of the colored leaders of that State, Mr. Lyons left for Augusta early this week. Some very pretty and promising Presidential booms were on display during the stay of the distinguished visitors. The Taft managers were on hand with the most attractive samples, and it was no trouble to them to show their goods. The booms were decorated and painted by Williams, of Olito, shook hands with everybody and conferred at length with Auditor Ralph W Tyler, in whose po- tical sagacity and managerial capacity they have the fullest confidence. The boom for Mr. Taft goes merrily on, stepped being accelerated by constant acco- bitions from both the white and the black. The lovely, happy addresses to the Filipinos have made him a host of friends among the hitherto "Doubling Thomases" of our people in this country. A significant event of the week was the visit last Saturday to the White House of a delegation of colored citizens of Sudan Territory. The party was composed of Messrs A.G.W. Sang, W. W Twine, Janits A. Roper, S. Bell, J. W. Simmons, Archie A. Jones, William Bradford, and others. They came on business relating to the affairs of the forthcoming State of Oklahoma, in clear and unobtrusive implications in order to the magnificity of Mascotte. The President gave them a most cordial hearing, but the details of the visit cannot be given out at this writing. The delegation was the captain of social countries. Dr W T Vernon, Register of the Treasury, entertained them at a state dinner on Thursday evening, and on Friday evening they were the guests of Archie John A Larkford. The campaign for the election of two delegates from the District of Columbia to the Republican National Convention will be formally opened on the evening of September 7 at Grand Army Hall Seven for the purpose of representing the "sovereign voters" of the District. Editor W Calvin Chase. Other candidates will be brought out later, and Messrs John F. Cook, R R Horner, Col Perry H. Carson, Dr C. W. Childs, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, Dr. A. M. Curtis, and others are mentioned as suitable timber. An attempt may be made to induce Justice Robert H. Terri to consent to the use of such trouble has been caused heretofore by the primary system of voting, which it is said, permitted such wholesale ballotbox stuffing, that the advocates of a "clean election" are proposing a delegate convention the best means of confining the choice to trustworthy element of the electorate. It is expected that the President will fill the vacancy this week that has existed for several months in the office of Justice of the Peace, caused by the death of Judge L. I. O'Neal. It has been known for quite a while that Former Justice E. M. Hewlett is an appointee. Thursday by the announcement of the candidacy of Attorney James A. Cobb for the place. There are six magisterial districts in the city, and one of the courts is now presided over by Justice Terrell. As the Negro population comprises a third of the total, the very plausible argument is advanced that two out of the six would be the correct answer. If the President can be brought to see it in that light, Attorney J. A. Cobb may be appointed. Another case soon to be settled by the action of the President and the Department of Justice is the filling of the vacancy existing in the office of Assistant United States' Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, the leading candidate in the race. Jones of Little Rock, a colored man, who is prominently capable by the most prominent members of the bench and bar of that State. Office have been appointed as follows in the High School Cadets, colored battalion: Major, Sterling Fields; first Lieutenant and adjutant, George H. Mowbray; sergeant-major, James Thomas Company A—Captain, Edward Grassleutenants, Riyamond T. Middleton and D. S. Dishman, Company B—Captain, Frank Coleman; lieutenants, Richard E. Banks and Joseph Shelton, Company C—Captain, Joseph H. B. Evans; lieutenants, Alphonso Burwell and Cato Adams, Company D—Captain, Russell Lieutenants, Ernest Hardy and Eldridge Huskard. The joint committees of the Lincoln Republican League and the Foraker Republican Club are taking steps to have every colored ballot of Maryland go home and cast his ballot at the coming State election. Kentuckians will also go home to vote, as there is a hot campaign on in the Blue Grass commonwealth. R. W. Thompson CONFERENCE AT SAVANNAH. Sensations Being Held in African Methodist Church, Navanah.

Butler, of the Blackshear districts, will have each of their pastors make itemized reports of the moral, spiritual and financial condition of each charge. Delegates to the general conference, which will be held in Norfolk, Va. May, June, will be elected here. The 150,000 members of Georgia and quite a million throughout the church are interested in these delegates. Many Negro clergymen from various parts of the country are present and will speak during the session. D D Stinson, of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, who has returned to the State from a two months' trip through the West, will deliver an address during the conference upon "Practical Education for the Masses and the Negro Race at Character Building" with the purpose of Negro life will be considered by some one of the speakers and in the papers and reports that will be read. Killed for Rejecting Her Cuban Sutter. Elise Hope, twenty four years old, of 541 West 60th street, was shot and killed last Sunday night by Francisco Santanas, a Santanas member of the same address. Santanas boarded with the girl's mother. He had asked the girl to marry him and upon her refusal, waited for her in the hall and shot her down as she left her room.

Hamilia an Elegant Affair—Boston, October 27.—Said by many old Bostonians to be the finest thing of the sort ever held in Massachusetts, the Colored Men's Republican League of Massachusetts gave here on Friday evening at the Hotel Langham a splendid and notable banquet. Notable was this gathering not only because of the eminence and the number of persons present, but especially because of its significance for the colored voters of this State and its evidence of their changing spirit. This was their trump card in the Gubernatorial campaign here, being waged between the Republican candidates on the one side and some half dozen other candidates on the opposite. It was evidence of the Negro voters of Massachusetts are becoming conscious of their political strength if properly directed. It is evidence that they are becoming political wise. More than two hundred of the most prominent colored men in the State, including men of the various political followings, with their reputed leaders, such as District Attorney Lewis and Charles M. Williams, clerk of the Boston Justice Court, court willer with Governor Guild, commissioner Governor Draper, Chairman Doty and Secretary Mausfield, of the Republican State Committee, sat down to the well-served delicious repast The president of the League, Charles M. Williams, presided ably, outlined the high purposes of the organizations, defended the Governor from the silly attacks of our constituents and the other speakers, Rev Henry J Callis and Jacques Hicks, a prominent member of the League, Governor Guild spoke as follows: "It is only because of the base appeals that have been made to you on grounds of race prejudice that I pause even for a moment to discuss the subject, am perfectly prepared to be judged by in these circumstances, but I do not propose to be judged by misrepresentations." "I heartily endorse the plank offered by your organization and incorporated in the platform of our common party, demanding absolute equality of all citizens before the law. I offer no tip service, but the action taken by me before that plank was adopted, in connection with discrimination against three members of this association by a certain Massachusetts hotel. "Previously there has been no organized or common effort between our colored citizens to secure their share of political consideration, and as a consequence we find our people very poorly represented in State and municipal circles. And now to find all factions and followings uniting with their leaders, we must work together in mixing and pledging, their support to a really friendly administration in repudiation of the clamorous, hot-headed inflammers, their "doctrine and organ," it is an encouraging sign of the times and to our future progress in these parts." The candidates for re-election as Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, Curtis Guild and Elen S. Draper, respectively, were given a vocationiously hearty welcome, and will undoubtedly be elected against the field of Democratic, Independent Democratic and Independence League candidate. The position is particularly light on the position of district attorney of Suffolk county, interesting to some extent to the colored citizen, especially. The present incumbent, John B. Moran, re-elected on the Democratic, Prohibition and Independence League tickets, but turned down in the recent Democratic convention, has appointed one or two colored men to subordinate positions, the most recent of which was that of James Wolff, a young Harvard graduate, to his private clerkship. Morgan is now being accused by the State Legislature and Republican candidates and his re-election is a question. Joshua A. Crawford, the South End restaurateur, is a candidate for the State Legislature from the Eleventh Congressional District. The successful young doctor, Cornelius N. Garland, of the Tenth Municipal Ward, is a candidate for the Common Priories, next month. The Masons, E. and A. M., in Massachusetts, under the direction of Nelson P. Wentworth, P. G. M., of the Custom House, and William L. Reed, P. G. M., of the State House, are now in the midst of their energetic, thorough preparations for the great centennial of the founding of the Prince Hall, Order to be held in Boston in midsummer the member next year. The dedicated organizations throughout the State have been organized into a committee with almost one hundred of the most prominent ladies in the State setting as an executive committee. Miss Harriette L. Smith, daughter of the late John J. Smith, P. G. M., one of the most prominent Masons in Massachusetts, is chairman, and Mrs. Dr. S. E. Courtney is secretary of the committee. These committees are arranging for every detail of the reception from the house, and securing calls and free car rides to places of historic interest for the visit. Boston's large and beautiful Symphony Hall has been secured for the grand reception. There have been assurances of the attendance of delegations from the thirty-three States in which there are grand lodges, as well as a delegate from the Ontario, Grand Lodge, with visiting delegates from Germany and England, probably the greatest of the national will be competition prize drill学员 in Tranho Commandeur of New York, M. C. Calvary, No. 1, of Washington, D. C., and the Guffey Commandery, No. 15, of Chicago. This without a doubt promises to be one of the grand celebrations among colored people in recent times. One of the most remarkable social events of the recent post in greater Boston among Afro-Americans was the wedding reception of Mr. and Mrs. Minor F. Hamlin on last Thursday evening, at their home, 34 Winslow street, Cambridge. Besides the beautiful simplicity and the enjoyability of the reception, the nature of the evidence the valuable tokens of esteem and the presence of so many persons of eminence, black and white. Mayor and Mrs. Walter F. Wardwell, of Cambridge, several members of the Massachusetts Legislature, prominent colored citizens of Boston and Cambridge, together with several colored Harvard students, the personal friends and noble-minded benefactors, all attended to congratulate and tender their best wishes to the happy couple. Mr. Hamlin is the judicious possessor of a quiet and respectable, yet an effective, political influence, and because and by means of this for a score of years has gone about, doing good for his race individually and his race only, by an example of the fact that the character, whether in white or black, will tell. Mr. and Mrs. Hamlin are now at home to their friends at 3 Windsor street, Cambridge. Many Bostonians have received invitations to the wedding of Miss Portia Marshall Washington, daughter of Basker T. Washington, boyfriend of Butman, the Washington architect, at Tuskegee, Ala., on Thursday, October 31. On Tuesday night at the Young Men's Educational Association, at 218 Northampton street, the Frank B. Williams Musical Club gave a public concert and reception. Those appearing prominently on the program were the Misses E. Steward and Beulah Butler in a piano; Miss Josephine Holden and Miss Florence Steward in a vocal performance; and delivered address on "Good Manners," by Miss H. E. Wright, president of the Sojourner Truth Club. This club, together with the Women's Industrial League, the Benjamin Bannerer Historical Club, the People's Lyceum and the Young Men's Educational Association, as their names indicate, are all industrial, musical or literary agencies meeting at this association for the uplift of our young people in Boston. And although all of these moves have been surprisingly successful, their useful worthy efforts. As I said in a recent letter, just such organizations as these show a general awakening and progress among the Negroes in Boston. Mr Abney H. Bowser, Harvard, '67, and at present in the Harvard Graduate School, gave a penned, and timely address last Sunday before the Cambridge Forum on the "Fallacies Under Which the Negro Labs To-day." He gave with historical treatment a warning against following the radical and anti-racist flippers. Mr Jerome Barlow, a former Harvard student, gave a splendid address before the Cambridge Lyceum last week. Mrs. Phillip J Allston, the wife of the popular head chemist in the Potter Drug and Chemical Company, with her two sons, returned last week to their beautiful home on West Canton street from their visit South. Mr. Rasd F Hutchins, the successful young under student with much accomplishment in Boston and Cambridge, and his accomplished wife, formerly Miss Esa Rosa, a graduate of the New England Conservatory, returned last week from their visit during old home week in Mr. Hutchins' original home, Baltimore. Mrs. Hilld Naisnynth, superintendent of the Philander Smith College, Little Rock, Ark., made an excellent impression in the city. He conference in St Mark's College, Hicksville, dress Monday, and her exhibit represents the work of the girls of the school. Sergeant James H. Butler, until recently of the hospital corps of the Unit of States Army and stationed at Rizal Philippine Islands, is spending a furious in Boston with friends. Dr Spencer Thickman, formerly of New Bedford and well known in the parts of the country where he is a practitioner, who will shortly take up a residence in Chicago, spent a few days in this city as the guest of our popular young doctor, John B. Hall. The Kanawber Club on Monday evening, October 28, gave a highly enjoyable farewell dance at the People's Institute for Miss Marjorie E. Grows, New England Conservatory, 1906, and by many to be Boston's best-colored cousin. Our guest will take up her duties as head of the music department at Livingstone College. This popular, brilliant young lady leaves with the best wishes of all Boston. HURTON ELECTION CERTAIN Strongest Race Woman in Cleveland Working for Him. CORVILAND, O. October 29. The mayoral contest in this city is waxing warmer and warmer with each day, but the southwest precedes that Congressman John Kasich, who is elected on a certain date. The effort of Harry Smith and a few colored preachers to array the colored men against Mr. Kasich on the assumption that a voter for him would be a colored man. Kasich has proved frivolous. There is perhaps no stronger and more consistent and earnest friend of Senator Forrest Kernick, a former Republican. Mr. Myers is out for Mr. Burton, and at the thickest of it, and Myers never accepts pay for his services. Some of the colored ministers opposing Mr. Myers have been arrested, but they were not paid a cash sum for their support. Letters are on file with the Republican Committee from some of these offering to support the Republican nomination, but the blackmailing offer was denied. Such men as John P. Green, Jack Bock, Charles Chestnut, E. E. Habib, Myers, and others are rendering the Emperor a model for others. But that the issue at stake is a local one, and that those who are opposing Mr. Borton under the skew of Foraker, friends are doing the Senate an injury, or that they are simply using his name to attack Mr. Borton. Colored voters of Cleveland, are strong, pro Foraker, but they are not proposing to inject a national question into a local campaign. On the eye of question it looks like a big Barton victory. In fact he is opposed, and the registration shows this. Den Rochelle Daisy Professor and Midman Harper of A. E. Avenue E. gave a parlor social Wednesday day evening, host, for the benefit of A. M. E. Zion church. Thursday evening, Rev. M. O. Haynes and wife were agreeably in attendance, the members and friends of the M. E. Zion church. Ray, of Mr. Vernon, preached at the A. M. E. Zion church. Sunday THE NEW YORK AGE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1987 At present the general level of the stock market is painfully low. Many of the standard stocks which hitherto have been regarded as the very Matterhorn of safety have been battered down point by point by the incessant volley of selling orders. New York Central, Pennsylvania, United States, press, prefers of other good stocks of their class have receded week after week like the biding tide. Why this widespread decline? The superficial thinker who regards an antecedent as a cause and who jumps at conclusions without regard to his premises has said, "president Roosevelt is the cause of all this. By shaking his big stick at corporations he has so terrorized capital the market is practically without support. That is why stocks and bonds are so low." If this explanation is the true one, why is it that the rentes of France have suffered a severe decline? Why is it that German securities are pathetic weak? Why is it that Holland stocks are scraping into English councils, the standard security of that great nation, are selling lower than they have sold for nearly fifty years? Can it be that the strenuous efforts of our President to curb the power of lawbreaking corporations in this country have caused this worldwide depression in the market value of stocks and bonds? We think not. What, then, is the true explanation? Let us see if a little common sense will help us to answer it! It is a well-known fact that apples are dear when the crop is short. That is to say, when the supply of apples is not as great as the demand! On the other hand, during these years when there are great groups of apples, when every one who has the price may purchase as many apples as he wishes, they are cheap. Fundamentally, the same homely reasoning applies to stocks and bonds. If there were not enough stocks and bonds in America to supply the demand of the community, high prices together of what President Roosevelt of any other individual might do. But if there are more stocks and bonds than for which there is a demand, their prices will as surely decrease as the price of apples decreases when there is an abundance of them. Now, that is exactly the condition that confronts us. The United States, England, Germany, France all have put on the market a supply of stocks and bonds greatly in excess of the demand for them. This was brought about in part by the world-wide launch of enterprise that required stipulationsUMs for the most insider money for these enterprises was raised in whole or in part from the sales of stocks and bonds. In addition to this great mass of stocks and bonds the market has been glutted with immutable blocks of worthless stocks that were issued by corporations organized to do all kinds of things, from selling water covered lots to buying mugs. An investor will also said, those mints proved to be nothing more nor less than "holes in the ground wired by liars." Much of this worthless stock was owned on the market in response to the fury of speculation that possessed the people, especially in the United States, thousands and thousands of them bought stocks to the extent of both their cash and credit. The man who had only one thousand dollars bought in many instances, from three to ten thousand dollars' worth of stocks. But in this, as in other cases of unanticipated and rank speculation, the day of reckoning had to come. The millions and millions of dollars that were loaned by banks and other financial institutions to individuals and corporations for stock speculations were called, for the most part, wholesale selling of stock and bonds by those who were too weak financially to hold them. With so many claiming to sell and so few with money to buy, what else than a decline in the prices of these securities could be expected? The truth is the market is full of what James J. Hill has picturesquely described as "indigestible securities". In other words, there are more stocks and bonds than there is money with which to buy them; so not until the laying power of the public becomes much stronger than it will will there be a general advance in the prices of stocks and bonds. Will this be soon? We do not think so. Because of the amenable opportunities offered to investors to pick up gilt securities at relatively low prices, an opinion that there will be fairly good prices at the prices of good stocks and bonds here and there, but we do not look for an extended "hull" campaign unture there is more happy adjustment between the volume of securities that is offered and the amount of money available for investment. Ronald W. Layng Jersey City Church Holly JERSEY CITY, Oct. 29, Rev. R. R. BELL, D. D., with the assistance of Dr. Temple of Trenton, N. J., held a successful rally Sunday, October 27, at Union Church, Marks, N.J., great form service was held at 3:30, at which time several very interesting addresses were delivered to different prominent speakers.

At 9 p.m. Rev. R. D. Temple presided on some of the rally speakers. Some of the rally speakers posted, and the collection for the day accounted to nearly $600.

Moorland, have brought with them a life to this field, good work and a. This time the young men's committee, with Mr. James N. Collins as lieutenant-general, and citizens' committee, with Mr. Samuel L. Tucker as lieutenant-general, have raised nearly $1,600 in cash and subscriptions within six days. This association was founded in 1895 with Mr. Tucker as general secretary, many different men, made this movement not one of ease for the heroic and self-abnegating secretary and assistants or co-workers. Peculiar conditions had to be studied and the whims of those who did not know the good to be gotten from such a forward movement to capture men from the slums and give the young men and boys of the race whose characters were still mobile and flexible an institution where the atmosphere was not polluted with vice, but would give them high ideals and a noble conception of living the right life—tenderly nourishing such habits that would make them citizens of a high productive capacity; until such a building in installable such these citizens had to be Non. This association has succeeded and to-day owns a building with only a mortgage of $2,000 against same, which is valued at $16,000. Dr. Moorland last Sunday afternoon delivered an address to the men. His subject was "The Successful Man" Dr. Moorland apparently can snake dry lions move. His appeal to the men to help remedy the existing evils in this community that are making too large a number of our young men and women parasites had effect. The need of our people in this community to become producers as well as consumers was told in an impassioned声响 to the fearful stoker. Such lectures cannot be barred of material results. Dr. Robert S. Stout, secretary of the C. M. E church's Extension Society, and an able speaker, will address the men in the auditorium next Sunday. Mr. J.

ME VERSON CHURCH CHANGE Name to Mr. St. Paul's Instead of Gra- ternal. Other Notes. Centennial A. M. E. Zion on South Eighth Avenue, near Fourth street, of which Rev. G. N. Ray is pastor, has recently been changed to the name of St. Paul's A. M. E. Zion church. This change was made at the desire of the members of the Centennial hospital, for the Centennial hospital had no decision,unning for the Centennial hospital, and contained no special ossidian significance. Sunday services, the Rev. G. N. Ray, preached. The Sabbath school met at 3 p. m. Vatican Christian Endeavor Society at 7.15 p. m. Class meetings are held every Wednesday at 8 p. m. The Sunday school meets at Laudlaw, of Head, Corner, New Jersey, in visiting her cousins, Rev. and Mrs. G. N. Ray, pastor.

Elizabeth Guest of Mrs. John Woolf, of Mt. Vernon; also Mr. H. S. Bonsour, artist of Brooklyn, N. Y. Cote and Johnson Goon to Have Success Within Their Group. Have you seen the "Shoo-Fly Regiment" since Stair and Havlin assumed management? Well, if you answer in the negative, I will volunteer the information that you would wincess a far better, show than was produced at the Grand Opera House or even the Bijon theatre some weeks ago. In fact, Cole and Johnson have added to and subtracted from in such a way as to insure success in the popular-price houses this season. New songs have been interpolated, a great amount of dull and unnecessary dialogue cut out and there is now in evidence plenty of action—a necessary element if you want to have success with a colored show. As the result the "Shoo-Fly Regiment" is now full of ginger, thus more comedy as well as more melody. I have several suggestions to make however, and 'deem it opportune to make mention of them at this writing. In the first place, Cole and Johnson should teach some of the women in their company the act of making up properly. And this does not apply solely to some of the female members. In fact, the company of the officer is of the opposite sex—a pickamanny who says "My Susanna," a new and very pretty song. This youngster, although of elony hue, insists in making up in a red color which suggests he is trying to rival a ripe tomato or a red flag at an auction sale, or a bull fight. I doubt he would scarcely be recognized by two persons out of ten on the street if facial recognition had anything to do with it. Play folks make up not with a view of using their features but their features, their features, pronounced because of the lights and the distance they are away from the audience. Of course, a piece of grease paint daintily applied here and there to produce a rosy-checked effect is desirable, but don't use the article and apply white powder in wholesale doses with the principal aim of making yourself look white or very near white. Let the dark people make up dark, the brown people brown, the yellow people yellow, the green people green, the purple "imputate" that idea of trying to make a colored show like a guessing contest to decide just what your original color is. Cole and Johnson have a dummy number that bear song. But knowing the culture of these two young men I am surprised at the way the number is staged. Miss Famie Wise should thank her stars that she is of that little and cute-specie with a manner modest and nice. I feel they are times the would be-made feel very cheap. The bidding of some one in the audience to come on the stage is, I think, a little suggestive—and that would not be so sad, but the male members of the white race who are invariably with women folks, are called on the stage. One pale face brother, sitting in a box with his lady friends, was made the object of the Wise's attention the night I saw the Teds bear the quickly returned it with no little joy, thereby showing his displeasure. Now, Miss Wise if it is absolutely necessary that you pick out special persons to whom you must sing the song, let this be members of the Miro-American race. I can imagine Ama Held singing a song about a thing might be regarded as trivial, but you will find there are many persons—black and white—who shun being in the limelight wherein they are to be made subjects of even a little joke before hundreds of people, and while such a stunt appears funny to the others it may be regarded in that light by the victim especially a white one with company. Bah Cole is getting more comedy out of his piece and Raymond Johnson is improving in his acting. The Board of Education, composed of Sam Lusas and Wesley Jenkins, are "bringing the house down" nightly with their singing and dancing. Andrew Trible, I think, is the best broth in the business, to day, and Lace Pankey in the role of Lentie. Pankey is the best broth in the business. Nami Kurokawa also would sing and if she had a little more temper, most would make even Black Patti sit on and take notice. Arthur Tallag, Henry Gant, Elizabeth Williams and Moll Dill do themselves proud in their character parts. As a general summary the "Shoe Fly Regiment is now palatable, and has struck its goal." New Bedford Notes. Services were held in the churches annual Last Sunday there was a candidat at Zion A. M. E. church which attended by Zion A. M. E. church which M. E. church held its full rally.

Gentlemen: Perform to an agreement made with you in March, 1957, accompanied to Arrow, Gold Coast, West Africa, and made an examination of your GOLD MINING, WASTE, COCOA and COTTON CONCESSIONS located at Ahman, Nakwar, and Dompet, Africa. I beg leave to report as follows: I found PLACER GOLD upon your properties which upon examination produced from one dollar to sixteen dollars per cubic yard. I also found a Gold vein of about 4 ft. wide at a depth of 6 ft. from surface. I am glad to say that the Gold-Mining Proposition in my opinion will be a profitable one to all persons concerned in the working of these mines. I found wild COTTON with a more superior in tenacity and in length to that of the cultivated Cotton of the States. RUBBER abounds in abundance on your properties and can be cultivated to great advantage to the Syndicate members financially. 225 Cocon trees can be planted upon an acre of ground, it requires from two to three years for a tree to produce Coconut Beans and a Coconut tree produces from $0.40 to $0.40 worth of Beans per Annum. 300 and more Rubber trees can be planted and cultivated with great profit upon an acre of ground and such Rubber trees in about five or six years will produce from one to two pounds of Rubber per Annum of the value of more than $2.00. It will cost from $0.40 to $0.50 per pound to clear the land for the planting of Rubber, Cocon and Cotton. More than 2,500,000 trees can be planted upon your properties with a arrangement to spare for other purposes. The RUBBER and COCOA at the average of $3.00 per tree for the two would produce more than $4,400,000 per Annum for groanations and an equally paying business can be developed in the cultivation of Cotton. My advice to you commence at once the cultivation of the products and the working of the mines as you will secure from the latter in my opinion in a short time enough gold to more than pay for the necessary expenses which will be incurred in the commencement of this great work. With my best wishes for your success, I have the honor to remain. Yours sincerely, WM. H. SMEATON The Engineer and three or four Syndicate Members will return to the properties in November, 1907. We need funds to buy the land, for machinery and necessary expenses. SUBSCRIPTIONS are now $250 per 1,000 abreast. They will make a further increase with a few days.

A Plain Word to the Afro-American Museum is the board of educa- tion of the Afro-American Museum. The editor of Titus Ack has no desire to meddle with the local affairs of any community without warrant, but what concerns the people of the District of Columbia, in a large degree, concerns the Nation; therefore we want to suggest to the Afro-American members of the school board of that city that they use their influence to keep the race question from being continually brought before the Board of Education. It does not require a prophet to foretell that the day will not be long before there will be no Afro-American members of the School Board, if this continual agitation of the race question is kept up. The people of Washington will not stand for it. The public schools exist for the purpose of educating the children of the District, two thirds of whom are white. A public school board is not a racial convention, but a body of serious-minded men and women whose main object it is to foster education for all and not to discuss racial and personal questions. With the greatest kindness we would suggest, we repeat, that the three Afro-American members of the board use their influence in the future to keep down racial discussions; otherwise the time will come when there will be no Afro-Americans on the board to represent our race. A little modesty and self-control just now will be worth much to the race in the future. An Exhibition of Snobbory and Chrepaces. A dispatch has recently been published from Oxford, England, to the city at a few white American students are protesting against the admission of Mr. Locke as a student in Oxford. This is one of the most outrageous pieces of folly and display of cheek that it has been our privilege to note for a long time. Here are a set of white Americans too poor to pay for their education who go to England on the charity of the Cecil Rhodes' request, protesting against an Afro-American student receiving money from the same charitable source. If these snobs were paying for their education it would be quite a different question, but they are being educated purely on charity, and they should have the good sense to keep quiet even if they cherish race prejudice Aside from this, did not these American students read the provisions of the will of Cecil Rhodes before going to Oxford? Did they not know that the will plainly said that the fund was to be used to help students without regard to race, color or nationality, and they should also know that people that have black or brown or yellow skins from Africa, the West Indies or from other parts of the world, are likely to appear at Oxford at any time? We repeat, that these white American students should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves, and we hope we will hear no more of their foolish, antics. They not only disgrace themselves, but the whole American people. If they do not like to attend a university where Afro-Americans are students, they should go to some other school and pay for their own education, but as long as they accept charity they should at least keep quiet. Thumbs Up. We cannot live in the retrospect, neither can we exist on retrospection, but a study of the past may be helpful in determining what course is best to pursue in the present, and in deciding what may be best for the future. A study of political conditions existing in the past is at all times interesting, and at all times of service in the consideration of questions affecting the future. There is, absolutely nothing in the past history of the national Democratic party that can be construed as favorable to the linking of the race's destiny with that party. If there is, will some one please, re-urgent and tell us what it is? But we do not have to revert to the past to justify our opposition to that party. The present is plethora with evidence of that party's hostility to everything affecting race advancement. In every State south of Mason and Dixon line the Democratic party is in absolute control of the State, county and municipal government or proposed measures to deny the race the suffrage franchise, and to deny the race those privileges that are clearly the right of every man recognised as an American citizen. In every State north of the Mason and Dixon line where the Democratic party is now in control of either the State, county or municipal government, an abridgment of our rights is more or less perceptible, and the political representation accorded the race is nothing. Compare our condition and representation, in States, counties and cities of the North under Republican rule, with those of the South under Democratic rule, and see in which party's favor rests the balance. Compare our representation in any State, county or city of the North under Republican rule with that of any State in the same section—we care not which, under Democratic rule, and see which party totals the best for our race. Representation accorded is recognition of rights of citizens. The Republican party flags, in some instances, either failed or has been derelict in its duty to the race as a loyal contingent of that party, but the fact stands out as monumental as the earth itself, that everything, that has been done for us, every act of justice that has been passed affecting the race has been by the Republican party. This bombastic talk indulged in by a few that the Negro vote will be given to the Democratic party in this or that contingency is but the irrational vapors of such as are either Democrats for cash, or inconsiderate of the past, present or future. The question, stripped of all verbiage, is simply this: Do we, as a race, propose to forget the past, its blessings conferred by one party, and its harriages From the other; forget the present with its favorable conditions under the one, and unfavorable conditions under the other, and trust our future to the party that in every section, and in every period has been, and is now in favor of restricting our sphere of action? The time has passed for senseless talk. The time has arrived for some reason. The time has comes for demanding thumbs up. There is no middle ground in this matter. You must either ally yourself with the party that has given you your suffrage, or the party that is denying it to you in every State of the South. Senator Foraker gave, the race good advice when he said, fight your battles within the party, and when the nominee is named, combine together to fight the Democratic party. And that's just what the colored voters will do. The Vardamans, the Graves, the Tillmans, and the Dixons will not be with and for the Republican nominee, no matter who he is. They are sure to be found for the Democratic candidate, no matter who he may be. The Lily White Movement in the South. It might as well be understood now as later that the Afro-Americans in this country will not support in a national convention nor neither will they support at the polls any candidate for the nomination or any candidate for a Presidential election who favors Lily Whitam of the Republican party in the South in preference to the regular Republican party which metes out justice to the Afro-American in the South. For example, the Republican party in the State of Louisiana is divided into two parts, one called the Lily White Republicans, who declare privately and publicly that they want to get rid of the Afro-American vote, the chairman of which wing declared not long ago that the time would soon come when not a single Negro would be a member of the State Committee, that is, referring to the Lily White wing. The Lily White Republicans of the South are more bitter in their opposition to Afro-Americans having anything whatever to do with the party or with politics than is true of the Democrats. The Lily White-steeped in extreme to prove to the world that they mean to have nothing to do with a Black Republican. The regular Republican wing of the party in Louisiana is headed by such a man as Walter Cohen, and he is surrounded and supported by a strong element of white people in here, some of the best white people in the State of Louisiana are supporting Mr. Cohen. Those who are apt to secure the support and confidence of the Afro American voters in the Southern States and in the North have got to choose between supporting the Lily Whites and the regular Republicans. Neither our support nor our vote should be given to any one in a convention or in a National election who does not frown down upon Lily Whisman in the South. When the test comes before the National Convention between the regular Republicans and the Lily White element, headed by Mr. Williams, Afro Americans throughout the country should let their influence be felt in favor of the regular wing of the party and should let it be known that if any candidate is nominated through the support of the Lily Whites that Afro-American votes will be cast against him during the election. The Afro-American voters of the North and West do not want in the South a strictly black party, but we do intend to encourage our people to stand by that element of the publican party composed of both people and white people. in the South. We mean to encourage our people to stand by such white Republicans as Mr. J. O. Thompson and Mr. Charles H. Scott, of Alabama, men who represent the best and most cultured families of the South, but who at the same time are not afraid or ashamed to -let it be known that they belong to -the same political party that Afro-Americans belong to, and men who are not afraid or ashamed to let it be known that they mean to see that justice is meted out to Afro-American Republicans in their State. Bishop Potter and the People of Richmond By meting out an ordinary courtesy to an Afro-American bishop it seems that Bishop Potter, of New York, has brought down upon his head the condemnation of the First Families of Virginia. We wonder how long it will take, the white people of Virginia to learn that they are one hundred years behind the time and that nobody cares a snap, aside from themselves, about the individual acts and private doings of public men. Bishop Potter had a right to entertain whom he pleased in a house for which he paid his cash. The Afro-American people will honor him for his courage and for his liberality. Warning to Child Women "The manner of life of the ordinary club woman of to-day is helping to rain her digestion." That is the statement of so eminent a physician as Dr. Thomas Hunt Stuckey, of Louisville, Ky. Dr. Snacky has made a specialty of stomach and intestinal diseases. He uses that it is the nervous sort of life that is hurting club women. There is more nervous indigestion among women than among men, and a great deal more indigestion among the club women than among the women who attend peacefully to household duties, according to the opinion of this physician, who has made the subject a specialty. Men may commit more indigestive sins than women, but the percentage of nervous indigestion is greater among the women. Women break down their nervous constitutions by excessive strain, by ardents and exciting club work, by social functions, and naturally when their nerves go the stomach goes with them. Then comes indigestion and its foes. The ordinary card games played in the average club or social function are a drain on the nervous vitality of women. When the strain is constant it wears terribly. Women have not the endurance to stand it. Among both men and women stomach trouble is on the increase. There are three causes that make for that increase. First, imperfect mastication, the sending of the food to the stomach in an improper condition; second, the drinking of too much liquids with meals; and third, the failure of rest after meals. Club women, as a rule, try to imitate man in his strenuosity, but they are often equal to the task. Woman is a far more delicate piece of human mechanism than man, her nerves are not near so strong, her physical being is not built to stand the strain that man can endure, therefore, when she throws herself into that midstroat of club life the shirling eddy is too strong for her to contend against, and soon her digestive organs go back on her, and then follow with awful swiftness those deep facial lines, the loss of the brightness of the eyes, and the many ills peculiar to women. These destroy her comeliness of form and face, and when woman's grace of figure and comeliness of face begin to fade, her ambition begins to wane, and then rapid decline plays so have with the best and priest of God's gift to man-woman Mental and Manual Injury The popular use of the term "labor" is applied only to those who exercise private is erroneous. The brakeman in the employ of a railroad company may by industry, energy and ability, rise to be its president, but he is no less a laborer than before, and as a man plot increasingly any more worthless or noble. The idea that manual labor is in itself degrading, and to be avoided as far as possible is the illusion only of a class of extravagant theorists of the two. The ideal man would be he whose physical, mental and moral powers are all well rounded out, cultivated and harmoniously balanced. Lifesis is a violation of nature's laws, and its companions in transgression are improvidence, degradation, intemperance and decay. By my moral law and logic each positive virtue has its core, corresponding opposite condition of vice and error. As to the different kinds of labor, it may be said that all are indispensable the manual as well as the mental, each in its proper sphere. The steam in the locomotive is a more subtle and refined factor than the boiler and the wheels, but no less necessary and important. So the brain worker, though in a mere delicate and refined, and normally higher sphere, is only a component part of a general system, but in personality is not above his fellow-laborer, the man who works with his hands. The test of excellency of a wheel in a machine is that it fills well its peculiar place and office. There is no natural alliance of the mental laborer over the physical that is based upon his greater necessity to society. The finished building is as much the product of the carpenter and mason as of the architect who designed it. It is the joint product of both. The beautiful park, with its miniature lakes, drives, walks and trees and flowers is as much the product of the man who worked on it with shovel, spade and hoe as the landscape artist who designed it. Both were necessary to its completion. The simplest manual task must be accompanied by a mental process; and likewise the scholar on scientist must do some physical labor with pen or apparatus. Four Magical Words Nothing so becomes the young men of our race as to go out into the world with clear convictions. They will be met at the start, and they will find them all along the way, problems that, require for their right solution clear ideas and sound principles. Alas, so many fail to see the necessity of this. They go out with desires, ambitions, personal purposes; but above these, and controlling them, there is no regular impulse to do exactly the thing that is right. They trust this to circumstances. They relegate this to policy. And when the climax comes they are very apt to do the wrong thing, because they have no convictions to guide them. This should not be. Every young man should go out into life with right ideals, by which he should stand if he had to die for them. That is heroism. That is manhood. That means straight, clean, upright living, which ought to be the purpose of every young man of our race. The problem is by no means complicated. The road is plain and clear. A man need not stand and argue long which way to take. From four words a man can deduce a rule for solving every problem that comes to him on his way through life. These are Purity, Reverence, Temperance and Honesty. They are the builders of character, and whoever is imbued by the principles they imply is a success in life, even if he does not wear the badges of worldly prosperity. But he is very likely to wear these badges. The first thing out young men should do, in going out into real life, is to create for themselves ideals that illustrate these virtues, and utilize them everywhere, all the time. No wonder there is so much complaint, discouragement and regret. Life is a poor thing without them. It may wear kid gloves and run an automobile, but it is a baggage thing without them. Andrew Carnegie The recent speeches of Mr. Andrew Carnegie and Lord Rossey bring out two great points, the first being Mr. Carnegie's real friendship for our people, and the second being the revelation of that, which you already know, but which many others did not know, that the English people are picking up considerable prejudice on their own account. In short, Lord Rossey's speech ought to show that my white man, here or elsewhere, is absolutely free from prejudice, and the Negro ought, therefore, to be very careful about admiring any man, who in the main is right on the race question. From the editorials in the New York newspaper on the Carnegie-Rossey debate, the face is disclosed that most of the papers which criticised the President most severely about the soldier might be taking Lord Rossey's end of it, and most of those that stood by the President are now standing by Mr. Carnegie. Do Afro American race in America is deeply grateful to Mr. Andrew Carnegie for his great speech delivered in defense to the progress of the race in Chicago, Scotland, before a philosophical society a few days ago. To have such a mug as Andrew Carnegie come to our defense by bringing before the public indisputable facts in regard to the progress of our race means a great deal. Specially during the present period. We shall hope soon to put before our readers this speech in full, or at least a large part of it. Popularity and Intention No one can fail to note the fact that the President is now enjoying a season of extreme popularity in the Southern States, and Afro-Americans throughout the country have called attention to the fact that this popularity seems to have increased since the Brownville incident. Without attempting at present to say whether or not this is true, Turt Atkinson says without hesitation that no President of the United States can afford to have any large proportion of the citizens of this republic have the idea that his popularity with one section of the people rests upon injustice committed upon another section, and we trust in the months to come that the President will prove by his words, and acts that the Impression that he has been unjust to the Afro-American race for the purpose of securing the good will of the white people of the South is without foundation. We repeat that no President of the United States should feel easy while such an idea is in the minds of any large proportion of the people, and we hope at least that the acts of the President hiring the remaining portion of his term will convince the people of the United States that justice, not opportunism, characterizes all of his acts. The white man is a peculiarly constituted piece of human mechanism. You can drive him to but one thing—resentment. When we hear improvident, shallow-brained Negroes boasting of "compelling" white men to do this and do that we wonder that more asylums for idiots are not built. We can impel white men to a sense of justice, but it must be by a display of common sense, thrift, honesty, industry, manliness—by unmistakable proof that we are desirable citizens. And we have given this proof. Al G. Field, the minstrel man, recently said, "I have always decided to continue doing good in the world by causing snilies to replace frowns." Mr. Field cleaned up $40,000 last season with his minstrel troupe. There are lots of us who would be glad to chase snilies away at $40,000 per year. "While seated in front of his home, smoking his pipe, E. M. Sumner, a white man, was fatally shot by Monroe Ballard," says an exchange. That certainly ought to either discourage the smoking of pipes, or smoking them in front of one's home, or both. --- King Edward and Emperor William, and royal families of Sweden, Spain and Italy are owners of American real estate. As William Calvin Chase, the crudite editor of The Washington Bee, has never dubbed these "interlopers" we surmise they own no real estate in Washington "We are a nation of spendthrifts, recently exclaimed an orator. However, there is no reason to conclude that colored editors can be classed in that category, so long as "regular readers" fail to pay their subscriptions. In Washington they have styled the Boston Guardian "The Weekly Mind Snow. They have a way in Washington of using highly appropriate appellations. Positionism leads to weakness; optimism leads to power A friendly thought is the perfect gift of mankind SPARKS FROM THE ANYIL Crip Comment on Corrupt Events by R. W. Thompson. Rab for Bishop Potter! He is in need of a Christian statesman. These are the days when actors, penny-cashiners and nature fakers are keeping busy "declining" flattering offers that are never offered. It is a poor theatrical star who cannot "stake" a press agent to send in glowing sports of the "standing room only" to which his company is playing nightly on the road. That church is strongest, on the final analysis, which accords the largest measure of recognition to its laity. The ministry must denomination, but the laity must feed it. The assimilation of Governor Vardanov in refusing to welcome President Rosenvelt to the State of Mississippi was additional but unnecessary proof of the wisdom of the people of that commonwealth in refusing to adorn his bishopian shoulders with a Senatorial yoga. Practical politics is to "rule the most down at Washington, it seems. An unwritten law is being promulgated that the department folks who expect favor from the political managers, must get out of their easy chairs and like bikes because " few wives where they will do the most good. We still have few ministers who understand leaders and yet host of the church churches have both with their brick masts, who spitupers, white plastics, and white cloths, while confessing with their blish of shame that the money came from the contributions of Negro workmen and wastetwomen. There is a well founded suspicion should that the General Conference of the M. E. church at Norfolk will dominate extensive housekeeping in the glorious and business departments of the Christian Recorder. President Rosevelt, insinuing me into the enterprise, thrivity and self-giving Negro citizens on Mound Station, will not be circulated broadcast by the possessions' organs which insist that the Chief Executive is a mortal enemy of the nation. The Filipinos have been smoking a "first" over Secretary Faft. The presentation of a laying cup and enthusiastic demonstrations of approval of his liberal speeches, coming from a dark-skinned people, indicate that the genial character of the "dark brown man" has been able to convince the "dark brown man" if nobody else, that he is no respecter of color. Dr J. E. Shepard's proposed institution at Hillsboro, N. C., for the study of the Bible and the industrial arts, bid fair to fill a long-felt want. The elevation of the patrons of the Southland, extension of the country districts, will prove a Golden Negro people. Dr Shepard should experience no difficulty in raising the $10,000 needed to begin the good work Acting Secretary of War Oliver pays a merited tribute to the Negro soldiers when he says that they are not excelled in courage by any class of enlisted men, that they are better disciplined than any given class of whites, and that among them there are fewer desertions and more recklessness among their Caucasian contemporaries, corded the same treatment as is given to other soldiers, he says there is not likely to be any trouble between them and the citizens of any community in which they may be stationed by the department of the early arrival of the 24th Infantry in New York State, this is an expression of a small significance, and may be accepted as the official stand of the administration on the assignment of troops anywhere on American soil, regardless of any possible adverse local sentiment. Rocker Washington's Supplier Pittsburgh. Oct 27—Booker W. Washington to-night suggested that the race could be solved by keeping the Negroes in the South and keeping the South "dry." We regret exceedingly, to learn that T. Thomas Fortune has assigned as editor of THE NEW YORK ACE a paper with which he has been connected as editor and publisher for nearly twenty years. We regret that we shall miss him and the many pungent articles from his pen, we trust that his retirement from newspaper work will only be temporary, and that we will again see him in the forefront of the battle, if such is not to be the case, we offer to him our tribute of respect for the great work he has enveloped to do for the advancement of his race through the columns of The Ack. We trust as one of his contemporaries, that in his retirement from work we work, in this field, that the good work he has accomplished will be a solace to him in his retirement—The Philadelphia Tribune. It is with a genuine feeling of regret that we notice that Editor T. Thomas Fortung, the founder and for so many years the editor of The New York Ack, has resigned his position and now steps down, Mr. Fortung is without doubt the Nestor of Afro-American journalism in this country, and how we will be able to accept The Ack without Mr. Fortung we do not know. Many years ago, when the editor of this paper essayed his first steps in journalism, he did so as the Baltimore correspondent/of The New York Globe, edited by Mr. Fortune, and afterwards known as The New York Age. Since that time we have known Editor Fortune and admired him for his great ability and strong, although at times somewhat intermittent, editorials. But whatever his pen wrote, he can gain us but he had the interests of our race at heart. That Mr. Fortune had made mistakes only shows that he is human, like unto us all, and for then we will forgive him, and trust as he retires from his post as a leader in journalism, that he will gerry with him in his retirement the good wishes of every member of his race, for whom he has so gallantly fought. He has made him both within and without the race by his work, interests and for that we love him, for it he is known fact that a man is doing but little for any cause when he does not make enemies. Mr. Fortune's enemies are his crowning grace. May his days of retirement he few he fore he shall again take up and put on the harness and fight as he never fought for the race that needs champions as it may never needed them before. Baltimore Ato American Ledger. The retirement of Editor F. Thomas Fortune from the active management of The New York Nat is generally regretted in all Negro circles. Whether this, the brief writer leaves the editorial clear to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, some averse, or whether he leaves for much needed rest, it is a fact that the position he vacates will be harder to till that any we know of in this generation. Many may aspire, but few indeed can seek to walk in his shoes. The Texas (Houston) Freedom of F. Thomas Fortune is the one editorial genus of the race. Steeped in a knowledge of the history of the human family, gifted with an unusual power of discerning the drift of things, able to make known the workings of a fertile brain in clear, crisp English, ever ready to proclaim with equal fairness the virtues and faults of friends and the virtues and faults of enemies, dividing his time between defending his race from the onslaughts of enemies and prodding it to no longer T. Thomas Fortune's retinue, the sky of Negro journalism, the empire and the star, but the very nests and his assent as an editor will most actual gift to his many admirers who will take his going into personal loss. The question might particularly be asked here as to why in the times of his wisdom, ere his pen has laboured, he should retire to protect the Nashville (Term) Charon We have read with profound regret notes of the retirement of Hon T. Thomas Fortune from my only active service long from the presidency of the company coming T10. New York AO, which Mr Fortune founded. The letter of resignation is that esteemed and there are indications that Mr Fortune has some of the old lightning spirit left. This distinguished journalist is a unique character, who has been forced to bitterly conditions to seek the rest of his body so much needs. We knew him in his prosperity and no truer friend than his latter enemy ever walked the face of God's curtsey. He was always an open, much fierther and be coined underhanded attacks in all kinds of controversies. His language was sharp and cutting and his invective dripped on me. Our earliest training in journalism came as a correspondent under the exacting eye of T. Thomas. Fortune We feel sorrowful since we have read his letter of resignation and with bowel out we accept the inevitable, realizing that in a few years we too, shall be called upon to take a similar step and entrust to other hands the results of a life endeavor. The race is not as yet grateful to those who have braved the storms and faced the winds in an effort to secure to citizens of the right the due men. Men in political office by virtue of sacrifices made by men of the T. Thomas Fortune stripe will be the first to unkind things and cast a shiver upon their self-sacrificing efforts. But then God is just and he knows all of our troubles, all of our bereavements, all of our disappointment and he alone can bind in a wounded heart. Death is a terror to some, but sweet to others, for it gives a surrease of sorrows and a rest that is helpful, even though it be in and beyond the grace Thomas Fortune retired? One sturdy friend should be left us and the entire race should be in tears. Richmond (Va.) Planet. In the last issue of *Tue New York Nat Timothy Thomas Fortune*, its editor since 1923, birth and editor of the New York Globe, which immediately preceded *The Global*, which immediately preceded *as responsible* his retirement as *responsible* business and editorial policy. We are indeed sorry to learn this, because Fortune is an exceptionally able writer. and when free from beautiful illumination, a through race, men who are an editor, was a power, for good reason, him as our leading journalist. He tainly takes with him into private life our sincerest best wishes. Tum Ace will miss him in more ways than one Wonder if Fortune's retirement makes the editor of The Gaette the dome of the Afro-American journalistic corps?—The Cleveland Gaette. There is no member of the newspaper craft that The Courant regrets to chronicle his retirement from, the active editorial work of The New York Ace more than he do that of Mr. T. Thomas Fortune. The writer regards Mr. Fortune as the best, Aerostom and most forceful all-around man of the Afro-American race variety has ever produced, and he has few, if any, equals among the American white men of the age. We shall miss his vigorous and courageous utterances, as the great and fearless champion of the Afro-American people of this country. In his new field of labor The Court expresses the wish for his continued success, health and prosperity.—The Philadelphia Court. For nearly half a century T. Thomas Fortune has spent his life fighting for his race and he has done unrequited work for all of his labors as well as his associates whose reward has been curse, abuse and misrepresentation. He announces in the last issue of THE New Age, his paper, that he has severed his connection with the same. In these crises when when the race's political and civil rights are being ruthlessly taken from them, we need men in the editorial chair that are brave, fearless and strong, such as T. Thomas. Fortune has been. His retirement of calamity to the race. The style of the firm in future will be The New York Age Publishing Co., with Fred R Moore as president - Portland (Oregon) Advocate It is impossible to think of The New York Ace without associating with it in one's mind Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, who for 20 years has been its powerful and aggressive editor. We will never forget our first correspondence with Mr. Fortune which occurred in the early 1960s. We had read in The Ace an editorial highly relevant to the Single Tax and wrote complimenting Mr. Fortune upon its production, and urging that he push the preparation of the Henry George doctrine in The Ace. While The Ace was not made a special advocate of the Single Tax, yet its treatment of economic subjects has caused us to believe that its editor had a strong belief that "all right. While The Ace is hostile to questioning it in Mr. Fortune's retirement, it will be edited by Mossy, Moore and Peterson, and we expect to note its continued improvement - Detroit Informer Mr U.

We wish him success in whatever field he may venture - From Africa American Presbyterian The country at large will regret the retirement of Col T. Thomas Fortune from the business and editorial policies of THE NEW YORK ACE. Col Fortune was easily the foremost Afro-American editor of the present generation, and stands high in the ranks of American journalists generally. THE NEW YORK ACE without T. Thomas Fortune as managing editor is like the United States without Rousseau, New York without Hughes, Pennsylvania without Knox, Indiana without Faddanks, Wisconsin without La Follette, Nebraska without Bryan, Illinois without Camon, Ohio without Foraker, and the District of Columbia without W. Calvin Chase. May abundant success attend the future literary life of T. Thomas Fortune.—W. T. MENARD From The Florida Sentinel Hash to No First Lose. South Carolina has become disinterested with the attempt to secure white emigrants for the South, as the following editorial from The Spartanburg Herald will show. The whole South is fast settling down to the idea that the Negro is the best laborer that it can secure. Anybody who undertakes to pay the passage, money, of immigrants from northern Europe, such as came on the Writtkeid last Fall, will amply be out of his money, for such immigrants will not stay here after they come. It is not believed that 25 of the 400 old who came on the Writtkeid at a cost of some $10,000 are now in South Carolina. That expatriation is the failure except to the owners of the North German Lloyd steamship line. Even those who were the strongest supporters of the immigration movement and who contributed to the fund to bring these immigrants here now admit this. There is not a politician in South Carolina or in any county of it who will dare to risk his political existence on the advocacy of promoting immigration from southern Europe and we believe the Legislature at its next session will refuse to make further appropriations of money for this work. Emancipation Celebration. The Society of the Sons of North Carolina and the Society of the Sons of Virginia of the borough of Brooklyn have issued a joint circular letter to the public, secret and benevolent organizations requesting their cooperation in observing with appropriate exercises the forty fifth anniversary of the issuance the Proclamation of Emancipation in afternoon of Wednesday, January 1905, by a grand street parade pre- to the literary exercises, which were held in the Fleet Street Memorial A. Z. Zoonhair. The letter goes on to say that Lincoln entitles him to a place among the world's greatest humanitarians. Preparations are already being made and a public meeting will be held at the Carlton Avenue Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association 403 Carlton avenue, this Thursday evening, for the purpose of making arrangements with the various organizations. Twenty-four letters of The New York Asc. The twenty issues of September 12 and and October 3, and 10, appeared con- tinued hearing upon the subject of Brown Isa., and more upon the subject of which E. F. Howard is the author of the memoirs, which, though apparently limousine, were written for a purpose. They purport to have been written by George F. King and Dr. Josee E. Mills, of Norfolk, Va.; they prepare to hold up to censure, and condemation Dr. William E. Atkins, of Hampton Va., and myself; they charge us with graft, greed, gag-rule, bustion and ambition. Whether by reason of the weaknesses of which our race is heir to, or whether from egotism and a love to see his name in the public prints, it is an established fact that the most of our church fights and differences of opinion, of whatever character, are fought in the newspapers; this has been truly characteristic of the Howard faction for the last two years, and the representatives thereof, either cannot, or will not learn that abuse is never argument. Hitherto, we have maintained a discrete silence, while various members of the Howard faction have made us the subjects of the vilest slanders, as well as talse, malicious and defamatory lable; we have even refrained from making the aid of the authorities which might have been effective in sending some of our villiers to jail. Our inclination was to permit our defamers to exhaust themselves with their own defamation, believing that when they found no attention would be paid to their slanderous statements, they would spend their energy since they have returned to the task in the recent articles in *Tin Ace* with reviewed vigor, thereby exemplifying the trusism emanating from the wise man, that as a dog returneth to his vignit, so a fool returneth to his folly, 'we feel constrained to "answer the fool according to his folly, best be he wise in his folly,"' and so we returneth to "will a round uninvaded gale deliver" of this controversy from its inception down to the present time. When the Grand Lodge met in the city of Hampton, Va., in 1902, the writer of this article was in attendance there, representing his lodge, Iron City Lodge, No. 17. It was his first attendance; he was elected Grand Secretary, but B. F. Howard, the then Grand Existed Ruler, refused to allow him to perform the functions of his office, resorting to low cunning, subterfuge and downright falschool to accomplish this purpose. When the Grand Lodge met in Atlantic City, N. L. in 1907, the writer was again elected Grand Secretary, this time, unanimously. Mr. R. F. Howard again sought to delay him from enjoying his election by putting him off, telling him to send him the books and papers belonging to the office of the Grand Secretary, immediately upon his return to Covington, Ky. The writer, having been kept out of the office of Grand Secretary for one whole year, refused to longer submit to such a course of conduct on the basis of the fact that he demanded and received, then and there, the books and papers belonging to the Grand Secretary's office. A controversy arise between him and B.F. Howard in the very onset of the publication of the minutes. Howard demanding the right to publish the minutes of the Grand Lodge session him, of Congress, into his office, while the writer insisted that him the law defining his duties as Grand secretary, he was the person entitled to publish and distribute the minutes, toward maintained his position in this controversy with great force and vehemence, but the writer stood firm in his position, supported by the Grand Lodge, and insisted that he be surprised of awakening to the realization of the fact that he was not the obliged Grand Lodge. Cherishing this resumement against the writer, because he had dared to assert himself in the office of which he had been elected by the delegates in Grand Lodge meeting assembled, Howard went to the Grand Lodge meeting in Washington, D. C., in 1905, with the assured purpose and intention of defeating the writer for the Grand Secretaryship. There are men all over the country who will bear testimony to the truth of this assertion; even Mr. Mills, of Norfolk, Va., the chief serge, advocate and disseminator of news for the Howard faction because he informed the writer W. W. Baldwin of the Grand Lodge meeting, saying at the same time that her services as Grand Secretary were so earnestly satisfactory, and that he had submitted the first itemized account of the receipts and expenditures of the Grand Secretary's office since the Grand Lodge had been organized, that he Mills, felt constrained to support him for Grand Secretary, even at the risk of encouraging the displeasure of B. E. Howard. It is a matter of history that Howard's candidate at the Washington meeting, received thirteen (13) votes, and the writer received all the rest, sixty (60) lodges being represented at that Grand Lodge meeting, and the vote somewhere between seventy and eighty. But it was at this meeting in the presence of the delegate as assembled that Mr. Howard displayed the unimissable and lack of qualification to lead an organization by staring in open Grand Lodge meeting by way of rebuke to the delegates for defeating his candidate "Now that you have, elected Brother Holmes grand secretary; if he doesn't do to suit me there will be another grand secretary before the year is out." Many of the delegates, shocked at seeing the chief officer of the order make such a disgusting exhibition of himself demanded to know how there would be another grand secretary when the writer had been elected by the votes of that body. Mr. Howard did not con- as chosen, friends in the city of Cincinnati, before which committee Mr. Howard appeared as complaintant, witness, jury and even judge, and brazenly declared the writer expelled from the organization, following this by notifying all the subordinate lodges to hold no further official communication with the writer, but to send all money for taxes稍细 to him at Coxington Ky. From Chief Scribe Mills was shocked at this unprecedented transaction on the part of his devoted chief; a cry of pro- test went up from the subordinate lodges all over the country. Howard saw the handwriting on the wall; he became alarmed; he was afraid to go to Brooklyn and face the wrath of a righteously indignant body of delinquents; hence he resorted to the civil suburban fringe of Brooklyn, where the delegates assembled at Washington had voted to hold the Grand Lodge meeting in 1906, and fixed Columbia as the next place of meeting. It would be too long a story and occupy too much space in your valuable paper for the writer to undertake to set forth in detail all of the doings and transactions of Mr. Howard and his devoted followers prior to the Grand Lodge meeting in Brooklyn in August, 1900; suffer it to kill, say, however, that Mr. Howard did not attend the Brooklyn Grand Lodge meeting. A majority of the members both elective and appointive, were there in obedience to the mandate of the Washington convention of 1905. It were needless for the writer to state to the readers of THE Aegis that the Brooklyn meeting was eminently a success. Dr. Atkins was elected grand exalted ruler; the writer was re-elected, grand secretary; the grand treasurer, who had come down to Brooklyn bringing with him a large collection of books elected, and the Grand Lodge Improved Benedictent and Protective Order of Elks of the World went merrily on its way establishing lodges, so that when the recent meeting was held in Chicago as representative a body of men as has seen anywhere in this country gathered there, carrying on the work of the order. Now it is charged by the Pharisees, scribes and elders of the Howard faction that we have no right to call the Grand Lodge meeting in Chicago, the eighth annual meeting of the order; the writer asserts and defies contradiction that the Grand Lodge presided over by the writer is lawful, the lawful Grand Lodge of Negro Elks And why? Because by a compact entered into between Mr. Howard and the Grand Lodge at the first meeting of the Grand Lodge in 1899, Mr. Howard agreed to sell the ritualistic work to the Grand Lodge for a certain sum; he has received that sum and more; he had received it up to the time of the Grand Lodge meeting in Washington. Having received his price, we holdly assert that we are the Grand Lodge, and that the followers of the rump Grand Lodge meeting held in Columbus, O., are a lot of pretenders, decivers and usurpers. If this case was not true, what potent cause moved Mr. Howard to withdraw the suit in equity filed in the District Court of Virginia, in the city of Norfolk, against our grand exalted ruler, Dr. Atkins, after Dr. Atkins had filed an action against him with that the Grand Lodge had holding paid for all the rights, privileges and perquisites for which Mr. Howard had entered suit. Now, concerning the committee appointed by both factions to bring about harmony and union, before the committee has had an opportunity to meet, a great line and cry is raised by the chief priests, serbes and elders of the trouwed faction about what this committee on arbitration should do and should not do. Why do these people seek to forcest the action of this committee? Why do they seek to render mugatory whatever may be attempted by this com-munity in arbitration? Are they fearing that this arbitration? Are they fearing that this arbitration something? Do these view with alarm the probable end to their graft, confiscation, possession, etc? By what right do they assume to rush into print and seek to hamper this committee before it has had a chance to meet? "Let the gallled robber wince, our wifers are unwring." These disciples of Mr. Howard have been sitting at his feet for so long, drinking in the words of wisdom (?) which fall from his lines in their peripatetic pigeonages with him have become so indulged with his spirit, disposition and characteristics, that they speak only to slender and write only to falsify. When they assert that Eureka Lodge, No. 5 of Norfk, Va., was the first lodge established by Negro Elks in this country, they assert what is untrue, as the very number of the lodge would indicate. Alpha Lodge, No. 1 of Cincinnati, was the first lodge of Negro Elks. Holded shell. We will be charitable enough, however, to say they were mistaken in this idea, and call that mistake No. 1. When they assert that the lodge at Richmond, Va., holds allegiance to Mr. Howard they assert what is untrue, as Capital City Lodge, No. 11, has been allied with us since soon after the Brooklyn meeting. When they assert that Eureka Lodge of Norfolk has a membership of 450 or more, they assert what is untrue, and the shade of old man Amannias rises up in mute protest against the assertion, for the reason that Greater Norfolk Lodge, No. 132, has almost caused the disintegration of Eureka Lodge, No. 5. The assertion is that 95 per cent of the Negro, Elks, Vivian and Carolina are with Howard they so far depart from the truth that it would be a waste of time for the writer to set forth statements in refutation of so palpable and deliberate a misstatement. But dear editor, your patience is by this time nearly exhausted; we have said what we have said in order that the truth might be known; we have set "down naught in malice"; we believe our course is just, and though all the priests, scribe and dip their pen in gall to send forth the utterer of animations of us, we shall head them not, neither will we be moved by compassion, not yet stricken with fear, their shalt's of calumny lie broken at our feet. The Bishof of Avon tells us that "Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou not escape calumny." The history of the breach and the honeymoon since that time cannot be within the limits of this article, but we shall mislead a number of well-thought plausible positions, we have set forth this statement in order that the truth might be known. The house of the chief priest, sergei and elders of the Howard faction is built, upon a foundation of sand, and when truth, like the blessed rain from heaven, descends upon that foundation it will melt away, and with the foundation gone the superstructure cannot stand.

Williams, of this city, recently while walking through Broadway near Forty-second street, New York, his attention was averted to a huge crowd. He asked a bystander what the trouble was and was informed that a policeman was being beaten across the street in a hallway. Officer Williams rushed over, opened the door and found the policeman down with two men on him. The officer was released in haste and the two men arrested and remanded to the Bleecker street station. Sergeant Montgomery at the desk congratulated Officer Williams and said: "I was under the impression there were no colored policemen in Connecticut; if they only had a dozen men as brave as you they wouldn't need a very large force." Officer Williams undoubtedly by his quick interposition saved the officer's life. Sergeant Montgomery wrote a letter of praise to Chief Wrinn of this city about the incident. Officer Williams had a close call last Friday morning in Mansfield street. Williams was proceeding down Mansfield street to his work. He had prepared for a rainy day by having with him an umbrella in the backyard. He had got the corner of Compton street his umbrella suddenly burst into James and so did his coat. Then his undercoat and vest began to scorch. A pedestrian, who was nearby, assisted in extinguishing the blaze. Mr. Williams was painfully burned, but not seriously. He was taken home and his burns were treated. A citizen who saw Williams' peril says that he came near being burned to death, for his clothing was blazing furiously. Williams cannot account as to how he got on fire, but says that a butt of a cigarette or cigar may have been accidentally thrown into the fire. Mr. Arthur M. Ritter, of Springfield, Mass., was the guest of Miss Maude Parker, of 28 Eaton street, Sunday last. Mr. Stephen Handy, a well-known New Haven man, is seriously ill at his residence, 91 Hudson street. Rev. Mr. Bennett, of Washington, D. C., preached a very interesting sermon to a large congregation Sunday evening at St. Luke's P. E. Church, Rev. H. O. Bowles, eccentric St. Luke's Church, churchest is celebrated every Sunday at 7:30, except the first Sunday in the month. Furnished rooms with improvements at 28 Gill street. Rev. Dr. P. Clayton Powell, pastor of the Immanuel Baptist church, and his congregation are deeply engrossed in the protection of revival meetings. The work has been going on partially two weeks in the noble effort of saving souls. The attractive feature of the work is the evangelists, Miss Mary Taylor and Miss Yonkers, N. Y. The results thus far are most gratifying, so much so that the meetings will be indefinitely continued this week. Ridgewood Noten. At the A. M. E. Zion church last week great numbers of the members saw the old building moved off its foundation where it had stood for eighteen long years, calling sinners to repentance. The work began 25 by 50. Services Sunday were comparatively smaller than usual. Miss Carrie Dunn arrived home last Tuesday evening from Henderson, N. C. The Ridgewood Club, of which she is president, gave her a fine reception on last Wednesday evening. Mr. William Stovall off-camera kissed out a home, is recovering, and will be out in few weeks. The Rev. Dr. Dangerfield, the pastor of Zion church, hung to broad street, near his church, occupying one of the buildings. He met Mr. and Mrs. Malley, members of the Zion church. Prof. Wm. J.

The October public meeting of the Carlson Avenue Branch of the Brooklyn Young Men's Christian Association was held at the Second Baptist church. Sunday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, Dr. W. T. Dixon, chairman, presiding. Mr. N. B. Dodson read the scriptures and Deacon B. Lincoln Powell offered prayer. Miss Irene L. Moorman rendered a pleasing vocal solo, being accompanied on the piano by Mr. Albert Scott Williams. Dr. Dixon introduced Coussier J. H. Atkinson, of the New York Bar, who after a flowery address introduced Mr. Gilchrist Stewart of Manhattan, as speaker of the occasion. Mr. Stewart's subject was "The Irrepous It is an unwritten law of the Concord Baptist church not to applaud with the hands at Sunday meetings, but when Mr. Stewart told in rapid succession of the Negro's haraism of the pancolonial time of peace, the audience begged not in great applause. It was no longer a meeting, enthusiastic from beginning to end, had the members of the Young Men's Christian Association as well as the large audience present are grateful to Mr. Stewart for receiving from his eloquence in behalf of a square deal with every citizen, without regard to color or creed. The audience contributed liberally to the support of the association by table collection. Secretary R. P. Hamlin made a few remarks thanking the work. Rev. H. R. Guntz, pastor of the Nazareth Congregational church, pronounced the benediction. Nyack Notes. The concert given by the calander club of the Phil. A. M. E. Zion church was a great success. Those who took part acquitted themselves. David Stuart presided at the organ. Mr. B. A. Rhodes is still confined to his home. Mr. W. H. Myers is indooped, so much so that he has missed two Sunday nights from his choir and one Sunday from his band. Mr. J. W. Robinson, wife of Rev. J. W. Robinson, has been very ill for the last few weeks. He has been moved to the Nyack hospital. Alex Jackson, of Brooklyn, was in good health. Nyack attended the funeral Queen in Tustytown Sunday. SCHOOL ANNUAL, RECRUAL, Mr. Christine C. White, Vivianiel, Wife Poor Henshaw in Brooklyn, Other Good Humans. That Clarence Cameron White, the gifted young violinist, shared the place in the hearts of the music-loving people of Brooklyn was thoroughly demonstrated on Monday at Hall Hall, Women's Christian Association, where he appeared for the second time as the star-artist in the second annual recital of the Carlton Poor Henshaw in Brooklyn Young Men's Christian Association. The hall was filled at an early hour by an audience representing the business and professional life of Brooklyn's population. The audience consisted of our white friends. The recital was given under the auspices of the literary society of the branch, of which Mr. Walter W. Debarte is president, and Mr. Frederick R. Lapoz is secretary. The recital was selected by the orchestra, directed by Prof. P. Albert Myers, which was well received, Mr. William Smith, the boy soprano, and the violin in musical circles, melted the audience with his music. The performance of Jerome Remick's "Dreaming" and was recalled several times. Miss Harriet O. R. P. HAMILIN merilin, a rising young educator, rendered "As the Moon Rose" with dramatic effect. Then all care were eager for the Mine W. O. Torrell, of Manhattan, who captured the audience in Gounell's "Tale Cavatina" as a soprano solo. Mine, Torrell was in soliloquy voice not quintet, to be followed in session before the audience would be satisfied. She has a rich-mellow voice of wide range, and is without doubt the best York. If she continues, she will rank in the near future with the great singers of the age. Prof. Leon S. Alger was her companion. Cameron Whittier did on the first the programme and received a perfect ovation; it was several minutes before he could begin. He played "Frost Fantasy" gravely in a style which was admired. He was accompanied by Mr. Mellel Charl. 13 ton. The Herbert sister can, a duet very sweetly, and Miss Moss Powell gave Liszt's "Nineteen de Vienna" as a plaque. The second piece gave a splendid selection, and received hearty applause and an encore. Mrs. Myra M. Taylor, of Jersey City, an aspirant for literary honors, rendered a charming poem, an elegantist, and recited as an encore Dumbar's "Farty" in which she convulsed the home with laughter. A few lessons in voice culture would place Mrs. Taylor up in the front rank as a dramatic leader. Mr. White appeared on the programme three times and was succeeded repeatedly. The dramatization of Shakespeare's quarantine message James F. Brown and Frederick R. Lopez, is worthy of special mention. Their impersonation was natural; their gestures and cadence of voice beyond the audience are impressive; they are to appear on a programme is sufficient to draw a large audience. Mr. William Smith sang "Neath the Old Ascension Tree. Sweet Estelle," with a touch of melancholy, brought tears by the eyes of many spectators in the audience, and after responding to encore after encore, begged the audience to let him go with a final church, twenty-five in number, sang one of their choice selections that was music all the way through. Thus ended successfully the second annual retrial of the branch, Brooklyn Young Wise Christian School. Mr. R. P. Hamlin, secretary of the branch, whose cut we present, succeeded Mr. C. H. Bullock, coming here from Washington, D. C., where he was doing a great work among the young men of the nation, having graduated from the Springfield, Mass., Training School. Sincere and devoted to the work he has won the affections of the members who lavish their confidence upon him and rely on his judgment in matters of the most perilous nature, and athletes and may be seen with the boys in all branches of association work: An ideal secretary is R. P. Hamlin. Forkskill News Miss Irone Peterson has been ill with threat trouble, but is very much im- proved.

The third anniversary and promised reception of Carthaginian Lodge, No. 47, Free and Accepted, Mainsons, was held at Saengerbued Hall, Brooklyn, on Friday evening; October 18, and was one of the social events of the week. The attendance was not as large as might be expected, but those present had a thoroughly good time, and the appointment of music hall, coupled with the New Amsterdam orchestra, under direction of Prof. George Smith, gave zest to the occasion. As one of the younger lodges of this time-honored order, the Carthaginians made a good showing for three years' growth. The committee consist of J. Hoffman Woods, chairman; James N. Willett, secretary; Alexander Ferman, treasurer; Fitz H. Lewis, John C. Hargraye, James Stanley, Chas M. Johnson, Jr., Charles W. Norwood, Harry A. Williamson, Frank E. Bayne, Ferdinand L.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 26—Bishop Alexander Walters, superintendent of the Christian Endeavor work, the Afro-American of the country, and recently that the membership of the Afro-American societies had grown during the past fiscal year to one-half million. David Brown, for the last seventy years messenger in the Bureau of Health and the oldest city employee, died Friday morning at his home, 500 South 11th street, at the advanced age of ninety-five years. Debility attending old age is responsible for the passing of the aged Afro-American, marked record and interesting character made him a famous figure to the hosts of politics and citizens who, in a constant stream, have come gone during the last half century. He has known to them as "Uncle Dewy." Born in the West Indies he was brought to this country at an early age and was reared in the town of Elizabeth, N. J., and subsequently came to this city, when he served at the old Laazaret and at the offices of the Board, at Sixth and Samson streets. He secured on June 6, 1837, entirely through his own efforts, the position as messenger in the Bureau of Health, which he held until removed by death's hand. His long, association with the affairs of the office made him highly informed to the workings of that department, and his active participation in political affairs made his opinion with having. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon. Service at the house were conducted by Faternal Lodge, No. 992, G. U. O. F. of which he was a minister and services were also held at petal A. M. E. church, the Rev. M. W. Thornton officiating. The pallbearers were members of his lodge. The internee was at Eden Cemetery. At the time of his death he was the oldest city employee. Robert M. Rush, of 709 South 19th street, a headwater of national prominence, died in Washington on Tuesday of hemorrhages while en route from the Jamestown Exposition to Philadelphia. He leaves a wife and child. He was buried in this city at Eden Cemetery. Joseph L. Dennis, an Afro-American who was buried on Wednesday, had three wives, none of whom knew of the other two until just before his death, according to testimony brought out at the caeser's impresson on Monday. Saturday afternoon he visited Laura Dennis, one of the wives; at her home, 221 Lombard street. He was taken suddenly ill, and directed Laura to go after Matte Dennis, who lived at 1229 Pine street. Surprised, Laura went, and when the two returned, he asked Matte to go after number three, but gave the wrong name. Matte he died soon after. The third Mek Dennis showed up at the funeral. Dennis kept his triple life a secret by scattering his three households. He was impartial, and lived with each two weeks out of six.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1907 Communities Learning Their A B C With Their Communities—Effects of a Tiny School. (From the Buffalo Times.) New York, Sept. 21.—A white-heired Negro manmy and her husband, both past three score and ten, learning their "A B Ca" in a public night industrial school is one of the oldties of New York's free educational system. At this same school, No. 90, in West 41st street, in the heart of a Negro district, 2,500 other Negroes are pupils and many of these are grandparents or fathers and mothers of the cotton fields of the far South. The oldest dent is a sign of seventy-four years; who is in the primer class, but pupils of fifty and sixty years are not unusual in the first primary grade, which, in the day schools, is for children of six. Two septuagenarians whose first childhood was in the fields, won the prizes for regularity of attendance last year. These old people had totered to school every night and had never been tardy even during the blizzard. This eagerness for education has been developed at this school, it seems, chiefly through the industrial classes. For a while, common branches are taught to those who wish them, the great feature of this night school has been the trade school introduced by its principal, Dr. William L. Bulkley, himself a member of the race he is helping. Dr. Bulkley found that in his district were many illiterate adults who were not attracted by ordinary evening schools. In 1903 he opened # night school in which there was systematic training for Negro men in carpentry, electrical installation, care of steam boilers, architectural and mechanical drawing. For women there was instruction in cooking, housekeeping, dressmaking, millinery, flower making and embroidery. There were also classes for the first year every seat was taken, and the second year it was necessary to move the school to a much larger building. Some of the pupils, it was found, spent three hours, each night on trains in order to reach this trade school. An old development was that Negro men entered the classes in cooking so that they could become chefs in clubs, or stewards on yachts. The school was visited recently by investigators from the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, which is collecting data about all phases of trade education for discussing by educators, manufacturers and representatives of organized labor at its annual meeting in Chicago on Dec. 5. These representatives of the national society were served "widely with earnest Negro men and women from sixteen years of age up to the white-haired septuagenarians. Many of them were expert mechanics who had come, attracted by the trade idea, to learn to read and write, or interpret written specifications, as most of them had been in the habit of working by rule of thumb or oral instructions, and were helpless in the face of a blue print or written contract. The majority, however, were younger students, many of them elevator or bellhop in hotels or school servants who wished to learn a trade because of the very limited chance for a Negro to get a place, a laborer or servant, in an ordinary business house. Questions asked of the pupils indicated to the society's representatives that the main reason for attending the school was an economic one. They were after higher wages, or else domestic training which would save money for their families. A young Negro woman in the cooking class said: "I am getting $16 a month as a nurse to children. If I can learn plain cooking and how to use the left-overs, I can get $25 or more as a cook." An old Georgia mummy in the same class said, "Yoh see. I does Southern cookin' and down South we uses lots of aids and hard an' butter an' milk, cause they'cheap. And down there I has a wood stove. Up here in the Norf, them things is scarce an' I cyan run the gas stove all the time. So I wants foh to learn flat house cookin' like the white folkses does up heath." Big brawny men in the drawing and carpentry classes said that they were hod carriers and clay laborers and their only occupation was a day to learn a trade. Others were learning to run steam boilers so as to get janitor's positions in buildings where they were at present elevator boys or cleaners with no other future. In the dressmaking and millinery classes, the women told of dresses or hats they had sold, or of better wages as seamstresses they had earned. Others told of savings in doing needlework for their own households. A grand-parent told of shifty clothes. For now we are making them. For most part, the ambition was to get away from service or the washtub or the "day's work," and into some trade which would pay better than unskilled labor, and enable them to live at home. Among the boys and girls of fifteen years there was a fairly general answer, that they had left regular school early because it did not teach them specific trades at school. But they were glad of a chance to learn at night, carpentry or dressmaking or other trades which would take them out of the vast supply of unskilled labor. Dr. Bulkley said that since the school had opened there had been demand also for courses in bricklaying, house painting and automobiling. The request for the latter course had come chiefly from Negro valets and coachmen who could become chauffeurs for their employers if they could get the necessary training. He has found that the interest parents take as pupils of the evening trade classes has led a better attendance on the part of their children at the regular day school. But the record for faithfulness is held by the two old grandparents who seem to take a pride in upholding the reputation of plantation days. Out of Order. Champ Clark, according to an exchange, is an admirer of former Conn. Johnson. Johnson tells this story to illustrate Johnson's role in debate and parliamentary procedure. Former Congressman Johnson, of Indiana, in debate called an Illinois Governor an unparliamentary and had to withhold "Mr. Johnson said: 'I withdraw the language, Mr. Speaker, but I insist that gentleman from Illinois is out of order.'" "How am I out of order? pulled the man from Illinois."
