Miss Leonard and her committee of young ladies have been working very hard for the Association, and their play on the 19th inst. should be a success. Rehearsals are held regularly. Mr. Lealie Chittick, John D. Jones, Alphonse Martin, William Harper and W. A. Bell are among the bright young men of the Association. The appearance of Madame Minott, and Thursday evening at the lyceum, was responsible for the large and appreciative gathering who greeted her. During to the press notice of her coming the gathering was composed to great extent of the educated class. The programme consisting of solos, duets, etc. was well rendered by the participant. After the first part of the programme was concluded, President Yancy, presented Dr. York Russell; who introduced Madame Minott. Dr. Russell said in his introduction that he was glad of the pleasure of presenting Madame Minott, being a pupil of hers, he continued. I can vouch for her wonderful ability as a phrenologist. Madame Minott appeared admist applause. She began by defining phrenology, and giving a brief history of the science. She traced its origin from antiquity, and told of its successive stages up to the present day. She said phrenology is one of the greatest of the sciences. She said phrenology was the study of the mind, and a thorough study of phrenology, she said, would enable us to know human character. After Madame Minott's excellent lectures on the subject, she read the characters of several persons in the audience, demonstrating her complete trustship of the aplique, she told in an accomade and preface manner the characters of those she read. A rising vote of thanks was extended to her. The Nominating Committee, appointed last Thursday evening, for the purpose of securing names to officers for the next year will report next Thursday evening. Last Sunday afternoon praise service was held at the lyceum. Mr. John Clark was in charge of the programme. The programme consisted for the most part of testimonials and notes. The feature of the afternoon's programme was the song service conducted by Mr. W. H. Page, choremaster of Ayushima church. Next Thursday evening at the womens will be bankers' night. Mr. Robert Taylor will be one of the speakers. Mr. George W. A. McKee will provide testimony at the byron bay. Edwards' Day will be observed.

The speaker for the session will be Mr. R. S. Sooten, of Broadway, in ex- paid to be present. Cyrus G. Allen will present us this company, and good meeting is expected. On the path of Nebraska the museum of the good Whistler, will be opened. The company for presenting plans for the celebration of the twentieth fish anniversary of the booms is working very hard to make the occasion a success. The business is planning a fair to be held soon. The local branch of the New York Business League held an interesting meeting last Tuesday evening at local Pharo. Thirteen new members, were taken in. President Athias provided on the meeting. The aim of the president in districting the city in Franklin districts is a wholesome plan. The new members were E. A. Johnson, C. H Hall, W. H. Bauer, J. E. Tugley, P. R. Dyrt, Luther H. Smith, Fred D. Moryr, W. M. H. Johnson, Levi Williams, S. G. Craig, Joseph Martin, John Hewer and G. A. Branmill. Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooke, the distinguished pastor of St. Mark's church, praised a powerful and soul-stirring sermon last Sunday morning. He thanked his text from the seventeenth verse of Isaiah, forty-fourth chapter. Dr. Brooke's sermon dealt with the life beyond, or eternal hurling. He said in part, "God has given us the assurance of a grand hurling, and that hurling is centered all who trust in him." Connaught Dr. Doe is the person with the world Dr. Doe is the person with the time watching our opportunities, instead of trusting in God. God will not allow our opponents or enemies to triumph over us. Truth may be on the scaffold, and wrong on the throne, but the power of the Lord is sufficiently strong to give truth on the scaffold the sway over wrong on the throne. Touching upon the race question, Dr. Brooks said, What is it that kept the Negro in this country, with the mission against him, with the federal court of the land against him, and opposing all sides? He said it was the power of God that kept the Negro. God will not allow the power of one race to triumph over another. He said, yet in the mind of all this opposition, the Negro was the most esteemed race on the face of the globe. Dr. Brooks emphasized the importance of being steadfast and zealous. His sermon stirred his hearers. This is included in the series of sermons being preached by Dr. Brooks. One of the most interesting and unique institutions in this city is the White Rose Mission in East 60th street. It is a home for working girls who come from different parts of the country, especially the South. The home is an attractive and inviting rendezvous, and the influence of the institution is very keenly by the friendless girls who come to this city in search of employment. Some of the most prominent men of the city are interested in its welfare. It is interesting to note that in certain streets of the city, inhabited by colored people, the home life is fastly improving. The cultured air in some of our homes is all that one could desire. Education is taking the place of ignorance, and the home life is raised to a standard of ideals. The parents are training the young as they should go by sending them to school, streets of which I refer are 100th street, between Fifth and Tenth avenues, West 80th street, between Central Park West and Eighth avenue, 53d street, between Broadway and Eighth avenue. The young people of Mount Olivet Baptist church are a very energetic set of young people and play a very important part in the life of the city. The B. Y. P. U. the church, and the literary society, in the center of enthusiasm at each meeting. The debating team has developed some strong debaters and promising orators. An inter-club debate will take place soon. The B. Y. P. U. last Sunday was well attended and a good programme was furnished. Mr. George W. Bute, Counsellor Outreach, Edward Harrison, and Mr. Gilbert are among the lights of the debating club. The resignation of the Rev. T. H. Gilbert, D. D., pastor of the Mount Olivet Baptist church, into be regretted, as Dr. Gilbert is one of the most forceful preachers in the Baptist connection. The report of the resignation will come up some time in Deer, and it is probable that Dr. Gilbert will insist on its secret. Trouble a bean brewed in the church ever after the resignation of the Rev. C. T. liker, whose style of preaching is son at different from Dr. Gilbert's. Dr. Gilbert, since his career, has endeavored to contribute to religious life of the church in a intellectual manner, and this has been essential to an element in the church in prefer the emotional, rather than intellectual order of preaching. The acts of opposition are led by Deacon K. and he has succeeded in setting underrable trouble. The parting of Gilbert from New, York will be regretted, since his short stay in city, he has made a profound impress on the religious and intellectual life of the city. It is probably thought that he enter the field of education. Notice of the incident will be re-tened Anx next week. St. Philip's Parish Home is in its preparations for the annual visitation to friends on the 20th, 21st and 22nd canions can be sent to Mrs. Kate Carmichael, 64 Wall street, or the road C. H. Bishop, 81 West 57th street. We are here and we may take our places in this new State, using the ballot to defend ourselves and not carnal weapons. I notice that the newly elected Secretary of State says that the first thing the Legislature will do is to pass a Jim Crow law. Let them pass it. They may force us to ride in a freight car, but we must let the world know that a man things in the freight. There is a man thing in the hood of the Negro or stop his progress. We have been free too long for that." J. A. Johnson was elected secretary; W. E. Guy, assistant secretary; E. D. Kemard, statistical secretary; Frank Scott, J. M. Meadows, W. C. Carter, marshals; L. J. Johnson, J. L. Dawson, C. G. Tallierau, S. S. Addin, W. R. Beamer, correspondents to the official church organs. The following visitors were introduced: Rev. Dr. John H. Collett of Philadelphia, manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern; J. Frank McDonald, Kansas City, Mo., editor of the Western Christian Record; Rev. Dr. J. W. Rankin of Waxahachie, Texas; Rev. Dr. F. F. Washington, Weiner, Texas; Rev. Dr. J. R. Ramaon of Topeca, Kan.; W. H. Jernigan, pastor of the Colored Baptist church; E. P. Ellis of Nashville, Tequila; and Mrs. W. S. Scott of Chicago. Rev. J. H. Collett, assisted by the presiding elders, administered holy communion. Rev. J. Frank McDonald of Kansas City preached. The conference will be in session until Sunday night. ALABAMA STATE FAIR MONTGOMERY, Ala., November 11.—The State fair, which is one of the best of the year in this section, has just closed. One cannot find a better place at which to study the manes of black and white Americans than at one of these State fairs, and especially is their true of the Montgomery fair which has just closed a session lasting ten days. Afro-American have one of the finest buildings upon the grounds, and one curious element in the situation this year was the fact that white people of all classes gave their almost monochromous judgment that the best exhibit on the grounds was in the Afro-American building. This building was literally packed from planning to night with not only colored people, but no white man or woman came upon the grounds without going into the Negro building. THOUGHT GIRL, A BURGLAR. Minister Stuart Girl Who Was Trying so far into the Matern ATLANTA, November 4—Rev. J. A. Mort, a Negro minister, pastor of the Mitchall street Methodist Episcopal church, but might sorrowfully be police authority, and was placed in a cell, changed with shooting, possibly fugely, Jacobie Mort, a Negro girl, who lives in the same house with the minister at 209 W. Mitchell street. We says that the girl tried to get into the house by opening the door about 11.30 a'clock, and then tried to open his window, and being frightened, he plotted to an old plaid which had not been worn or Christmas years and fired at her. Her motion is criminal. are more important. We have dealt with ten million of people—double the population in Scotland—secondly not men but slaves—the very last slaves held by a member of our English-speaking race—who were not only suddenly made freemen, but also entrusted with the ballot. Proud is the boast, "Slave cannot breathe in Britain! If their lungs Receive our air, that moment they are free. They touch our country, and their shackles fall." But where the post-liberator stops, his part finished, the statesman's work only begins. The attacks fail, but the citizen falls to emerge. How is the slave to gain, self-control, wisdom's root, when all his days he has been controlled by others? "Arise and walk" was once said to the lame, but a miracle-worker was required to effect this instant care. It is the necessarily slow development of the slave into the citizen which I propose to lay, before you to-night. In one respect the problem is unique. This Negro is called upon to rise in the slave slavery to citizenship in the presence of a civilization representative of the highest-his shortcomings, backsliding, failures, cannot but be numerous and discouraging, and the contrast between whites and blacks in many respects such as to produce the belief in the minds of their former masters that the end striven for is unattainable. Once a slave, always a slave, so far as the Negro race is concerned, is their natural conclusion. Here we have between four and five millions of slaves, formerly held in ignorance, unable to read or write, without churches, schools or property of any kind, and yet held in the grip of citizenship, their former masters surrounding them incarcerated at their elevation. How were the Negroes recently slaves to be made fit as citizen—a problem that might appeal the bravest. Yet this was the one fundamental requirement, for without improvement of the black race no satisfactory solution was possible. After a period of fifty years we are to-night to impulse whether the American Negro is strong and improve; this I propose to answer by chiting fox. The first question the ethnologist will naturally ask is: Has he proved himself able to live in contact with civilization, and increase in a freeman, or does he slowly die out like the American Indian, Mardi or Hippopotamus? The common answer is that the total number of Negroes in America In 1900 was 4,000,700. In 1920, 2,000,700. Increase in twenty years, 3,200,900, equal to 44.3 per cent., almost double the rate of increase of the United Kingdom, and within three per cent. of the increase of America, white and black combined. The Negro race members to day about ten million. It does not increase as fast as the white in America because there is no black integration; taking only white and black, their negative increase must be best equal. There is no trace of do lem, we must never forget that the "poop whites" are an element complicating the situation; the attitude of this class to the black being intently hostile—far beyond that of the former slaveholding aristocrats. In 1860, Negro schools were almost unknown, it being unlawful to teach the slave. In the year 1800, 1,086,734 colored youths attended public school, and 17,138 attended higher schools of learning. The warfare against ignorance goes on at space among both whites and blacks. For twenty years after the war progress in providing Negro schools by the States was very slow, but since 1860 there has been spent by the States in their support, $105,807,830—about twenty-five million-sterling. In addition to this, all over the South the Negro is providing additional school buildings and extending the term for keeping them open each year beyond that fixed by the States, the additional cost thereof being defrayed by the Negroes. Surely no better proof can be given of his desire and ability to rise and become a respectable member of society than the production of a bank book with a good balance, or, better still, the title to a farm or a house free of debt. The saving man is par excellence the model citizen—peaceable, sober, industrious and frugal. The magic of property works wonders indeed, and pray remember once more that only forty three years ago he, a slave, the property of a master, found himself suddenly and without warning his own master, face to face with duties to which he was wholly a stranger—self-support, self-direction and self-control, the care of wife and children, wear-caring and the expenditure of wages, the duties of citizenship, including the right of voting, all thrust upon him who had been until that hour possessed of nothing, not even of himself, without home, school, church, or any of the elements of civilized life. The house or cow fed in install and worked on the estate had nearly to do, with providing for itself than the general field slave. Only the few hundred and craftsman of a much higher than. How the Negro has added the ambition and the ability to save and own his home or his farm? Does he take to the bank, and is he making a successful farmer and landlord? These are vital points housing upon his future. Let us examine the record. In 1899 no less than 764,717 farms, 548,826 acres, 49,914 square miles, just the area of England and Wales, or double that of Scotland, were owned or remitted by Negroes, who forty years previously owned nothing. These embraced, in the Japanese Orient states, 6.2 per cent. of all the farms; in the South Atlantic Islands, to per cent. in the Southern States—Florida, South east, Georgia 8.9 per cent. Alabama William Monroe Trotter is a man who was accidentally bullied into motoriety and thrust before the public gaze. Descending from a father who was an author-of note, with a splendid military record and brilliant career as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, Trotter inherited wealth and family prestige; was given a Harvard education and received a Magna Cum Laude. But his wealth, social position and Harvard education did not make him notorious. Trotter became notorious not through his own efforts, but through a newspaper that others had built up and through a riot that he did not plan. The Boston riot of July, 1899, in which Booker T. Washington was hissed and interrupted and in which Trotter was accidentally arrested and sent to jail, gave Trotter international renown. Trotter is a Jonah to any cause he connects himself with, and through his own rashness constantly boomerangs himself. He has many of the characteristics of an overgrown unphisticated school boy. He does not understand human nature. He is overbearing and dominating in his disposition and cannot brook opposition. It is impossible for a man with ideas and opinions to be able to understand the opportunities and individuality to get along with Trotter. That is why Dr. S. E. Courtney would not recognize Trotter as his huge lord; that is why W. H. Lewis, George Washington Forbes, Archibald Grimse, Clement G. Morgan, Butler R. Wilson, Johnson W. Hill, W. E. Burghardt Dubois, Solomon Gainen, Richard White, Mr. Hicks, and others of Trotter's most powerful Boston friends have deserted him and left him hanging in mid air. Trotter can never become a world leader of the Negro race, because he lacks the tact, discretion, the mental balance, the sound judgment, the family of mind, the biblical wisdom, the ethical integrity of a wide领语 of man. He is a good lecturer, but not a wise engineer. He is a good讲师, but a poor general. That is why the St. Mark's Literary, under the leadership of President G. W. Rush and Dr. B. E. Robbins, shook off the Trotter yell. Trotter can never drum out a crowd for a mass meeting unless he appeals to the colored preachers to help him by giving them a place on the program. Even then he does not indulge himself in the speaker of the evening. Forbes was chosen, number of the Negro Movement by an overwhelming vote against the opposition of Trotter. Trotter the moral and intellectual boy, indulged in more a comment in communi- ded of illiterates, who ligent. A few illiterates district of the North; or matters little, but where he majority it is an em- matter. The solution of question probably uses educational tools. When he majority meets to this, no hat their entrance into due course will not be As Confucius long "These being education, distinction of classes."

This developed upon lines different from Hampton in one important feature. Here all is the work of Degroves, the principal and professors, and even the architects are colored. Hampton employs white professors, and has a white man in charge. The total number of scholars at Tuskegee, including classes outside, was last year, 1,048,1021 being students regularly enrolled. All but about one hundred of the regular students board and sleep in the grounds. Twenty-three hundred acres of land surrounding are owned by the institute and cultivated by the students, part being an experimental farm. The choir alone is worth traveling to Tuskegee to hear. The main hall is large and vaulted, the stage simple, acoustic fine. The choir of more than one hundred and fifty students sat back of the speakers, who occupied the front of the stage. I was not prepared for such enchanting strains as burst upon us from unseen singers. The music was sacred, and some of the finest gems were sung. I have heard many of the fine choirs of the world, in the Crystal Palace, St. James's Hall, Rome, Dresden, Paris, New York, and elsewhere; seldom do I miss an oratorio if I can help it, but never in my life did choral music affect me at Tuskegee. Even the Russian choir in St. Petersburg I must rank second. The pure Negro voice is unique. The organ unfortunately was very small. One felt there was some ground for preferring the human voice for praise, for even the finest organ lacks something when Negro voices swell. Booker Washington is the combined Moses and Joshua of his people. Not only has he led them to the promised land, but still lives to teach them by example and precept how properly to enjoy it. He is one of these extraordinary men who rise at rare intervals and work miracles. Born a slave, he is to-day the acknowledged leader of his race—a modest, gentlemanly man, of pure, simple life and engaging qualities, supremely wise, an orator, organizer and administrator combined. Considering what he was and what he is, and what he has already accomplished, the point he starts with is that he is an attained, he certainly is one of the most wonderful men living or who has ever lived. History is to tell of two Washington, the white and the black, one the father of his country, the other the leader of his race. I command to you his autobiography, "Up from Slavery," as companion to "The Life of General Armstrong." "There were giants in those days, we are apt to exclaim, and lament their absence in our own age, but this arises from our failure to recognize the gigantic proportions of some of our contemporaries. To-day is a King in disguise, Carlyle illus. until viewed in their proper perspective, by one who has the gift to see and reveal the true heroes to the masses. Future ages are to recognize our contemporary, Booker Washington, the slave; as a giant, distinguishing the age he lived in, and, General Armstrong, the pioneer, as another who can never be forgotten in the history of the Negro race. He will grow as he lives, and he is never to be canonized as true heroes to be canonized as true heroes of civilization, whose life work was/neither to kill nor main, but to serve or save their fellows. In the task of elevating the Negro the part played by the Northern people, from the inception of the Hampton School idea to the present day, has been great. Not only have many millions of dollars been contributed, but many earnest men have given, and are still giving their personal services, giving not money only, but themselves to the cause. Among these there is one who deserves special recognition, Robert C. Ogden, of New York, than whom none was closer to General Armstrong front first to last, and who still serves, as chairman of the Southern Business Association, as the North should co-operate with the Sentinel in the great task, for it is equally responsible for slavery. Lest you separate, holding the view that there remains little more to be accomplished in the Negro problem, let me say that all that has been done, encouraging as it undoubtedly is, yet is trifling compared with what remains to be done. The advanced few are only the leaders of the vast multitude that are still to be stimulated to move forward. Nor are the leaders themselves, with certain exceptions, all that it is hoped they are yet to become. When you are, told of, the number owing land or attending school, or of the millions of church members, and the amount of wealth and of land possessed by the Negro, pray remember that they number ten millions, scattered over an area nearly half as great as Europe. The be'bie spots have brought Missouri, my personal experience of the South, it is compared with that of many Iberians who have been from the first, and still are leaders in the work of elevating the Negro, lead, me to endorse the opinion of one of the best-known and foremost of these, the Rev. Lynan Abbott, editor of The Outlook, who has recently declared that "never in the history of man has a race made such educational and material progress in forty years as the American Negro." The services at the Bishop Baptist church were well attended last Sunday Rev. J. W. Scott preaching excellent sermons both morning and evening. The R. Y. P. U. was well attended.

Trotter has long been an open-ended problem, an unexplained mystery, an unanswered puzzle and commendation, a Gordian knot and a Sphinx riddle to some of his Harvard professors and Boston friends. I have a letter in my possession from a famous Harvard professor utterly routing Trotter's proscriptions to leadership and real greatness, which I will not give to the prank because I do not desire to utterly assimilate Trotter's influence. I desire to leave some spark and breath of life in him. Trotter descends to patty and contemptible things that no other educated man would dream of stooping to. He has not the largeness and magnanimity of mind, the breadth of view and urbanity of spirit, which is supposed to be a biological and necessary consequence and result of a liberal education. Frequently a scholar and writer like Samuel, Johnson and Thomas Carlyle is not a Beau Brummel in dress or a Lord Chesterfield in manners. But a cultured man possesses the wisdom, life and mountain top. He is supposed to have a wide perspective. His vision is supposed to be down the vista of the ages. Now Trotter's point of view is never that of an educated man. One to meet Trotter, without knowing that he holds a diploma from Harvard, would never glean from his conversation that he had ever breathed the university atmosphere. In fact, his range of information and point of view is much more narrow and circumscribed than that of Editor T. Thomas Fortune and Dr. Booker T. Washington, whom he criticizes and who have never matriculated in Harvard. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Kelly Miller, Dr. S. E. Court, Lester W. Parker, E. P. Cook, Dr. F. J. Griend and Mr. L. C. Mershaw are brilliant examples of the possibilities of the higher education, while Trotter is a striking example of a man who has absorbed but not assimilated and digested knowledge and information. In fact, in Trotter, we behold a man who has lived all of his life in and around Boston, who has spent four years in Harvard University and yet has taught English, gugge and literary style of a thug rather than that of a cultured gentleman. He entered Harvard a diamond in the rongh, whose rough edge was never taken off. It can be readily seen how Trotter may be a type and grade of man who cannot be improved, by a crude, rough state to the polished form. But what I cannot understand is how Trottler could breathe the literary atmosphere of Boston all his life and spend four years in Harvard and still turn off such stuff and trash as he does in his editorials and butcher, and murder, and slaughter the Queen's English as he does. His sentences are dull, heavy, clumsy, involved, loose and disjointed. He does not know how to construct a paragraph. There is no swing in phrasing, the story is lacking in balance, proportion and musical cadence. But while Trottler may not have the comprehensive mind to master the principles of rhetoric; while he may not be able to apply the principles of unity, mass and coherence to the sentence, paragraph and editorial; while he may be unable to detect the secret of the charm of Newman's, Pater's, Ruskin's, Curtis's, Mitchell's and Gautier's style, still just as intelligent people acquire polished and refined manners not only by using an echequette, but by imbuing politically sound words that Trottler living all his life within the shadow of Harvard University and mingling and associating with Boston people, from whose lips flowed a well of English pure and undefiled, would have acquired some of the graces of style. It is an unparadigmatic sin for any educated man to write dull, heavy, clumsy and slovenly sentences. His Guardian editorials and his wretched English are a disgrace to his Alma Mater. It would be enough to make him a writer, but not to rise from the dead to know that a Harvard graduate was writing the Queen's English as thugs write it and speak it. But it would not be fair to blame Harvard University for Trotter's mental defects and limitations. Nature in fashioning Trotter's mind and body intended that his hands should dig up stumps rather than that his brain should dig into Greek roots. Dame Nature intended that he should plough up land rather than plough through philosophy. A splendid ploughman and field hand was spotted a poet in college and Trotter to college, for he is absolutely devoid of literary dignity. I may seem too severe upon a former friend of mine. But consider that from time immemorial, the three R's have been the cornerstone of education. "Reading, writing and arithmetic, taught as a rule by the hickory stick," have been the alphabet and basis of ancient, medieval and modern education. Reading gives a man inspiration, the power to absorb great thoughts and assimilate great ideas from the world's master minds. Writing gives a man expression, the power to express his ideas and communicate his ideas to his fellow students and higher mathematics gives a man the power to think clearly, logically and consecutively. The question may well be asked which of these three fruits of university training has my hot-headed friend Trotter acquired? None whatever. Trotter derived no inspiring and en- nobling thoughts, so great and great ideas from his contacts with Harvard ```markdown ``` In a word, Trotter is a Harvard graduate, who left the blues and bushcraft of a rural scholar and cultural gentleman; but on the contrary, possesses the ideals and instincts of a thing and blackguard. His part in the Boston riot of July, 1908, the unjustified, revengful and vindictive spirit of his editorials, the bad taste of his blackguardism and his vicious English have caused him to be detected and despised by colored and white alike in Boston. Trotter keeps saying, "Boys, stand by me and the cause; stand by me and the cause." Just as Louis XIV said, "I am the State." Trotter believes, "I, William Mourne Trotter, am the cause." And any man, no matter he bowed and kneed, is willed to fall down and worship Trotter will be paged before the country, in The Guardian's column, as one of earth's immortals. And any man, no matter how noble he is, who will not be bound luna, with unpaired hand and trembling accents, say to Trotter, "My Lord and I will be bound by Trotter to do," will be bound by Trotter as a race traitor, a sacrilegious rascal and blasphemous soundrel. Why does Trotter hate Courtney Lewis, Morgan, Forbes, Grimke and myself so? He is jealous of our power and influence. Trotter knows that he cannot handle and manipulate men. He knows that he has no gifts as a speaker. He knows that he has no gifts as a director, a director in line with blackguard people as a barrionist politician does. And he fears lest we five should combine against him, knowing that if we do, he would be buried beyond the hope of redemption, ya, buried so deep in the bottom pat of an earthly hell that all the angels in glory and the prayers of Archangel Gabriel himself could not extricate him. Nothing short of divine intervention could save him, and the pitfalls into which he would land through attempting, like the rash lion of classical mythology, to soar into the empirean of immortal fame upon wings of wax that melted before the streaming radiance and effulgent glory of the bright shining snowday sun, as it swept upon the wings of the morning, in imperial majesty, through the trackless ether and across the arcal blue imminent bed where the splendent heavens with its glowing light.

If anybody went to Grants Army Hall last Thursday night in search of a sensation he came away sadly disappointed. Instead of the denunciation of the administration, heralded far and wide by the "hotair" element, or the excoriation of the "grand-old party" for its alleged shortcomings, the meeting took on many features of the old-fashioned Republican ratification gathering. Lawyer Thomas L. Jones presided, and everything went off in orderly style. Mr. W. Calvin Chase editor of The Bee, made the principal address of the evening. Mr. Chase won enthusiastic aplause when he declared that the colored voters of the country should solidly support the Republican nominee for President, no matter who he may be. As the meeting was the formal opening of the campaign for delegates to the National Convention, this statement by Mr. Chase may be regarded as the keynote of his candidacy for delegate. Resolutions were adopted upholding the cardinal principles of the Republican party, and asking for fair treatment for the Negro, both in legislation and in official recognition. Other speeches were by J. M. McKinney,wendell Scott, Jesse Foster and Miss Bell. Music was furnished by the Howard University orchestra. Upon the recommendation of Auditor Ralph W. Tyler, Mr. Edmund W. Patten, of Texas, for years a messenger in the Treasury Department at $600 per annum, has been promoted to a $900 clerkship and transferred to the office of the auditor of the Navy Department. Thus far Mr. Tyler has secured the appointment of one clerk from $1,000 to $1,200, carrying an assistant chief of division authority, has secured the appointment of another clerk in his office, and inspired the promotion of Chaplain W. T. Anderson to the rank of major in the army. Mr. Patten's promotion makes him the fourth colored man directly advanced through the efforts of Mr. Tyler. Superintendent W. K. Chancellor, of the police service, has worked out a solution for the problems that have been worrying the present administration. He recommends to the Board of Education a reclassification of teachers by salaries and puts forward a plan to secure a greater centralization of control on the part of the superintendent. As a remedy for the difficulties that have surrounded the colored schools, Dr. Chancellor proposes to separate the colored and non-colored geographical divisions within the city, four to be composed exclusively of white schools and two to be composed exclusively of colored schools. For the supervision of each division, one associate superintendent is to be in charge as administrative officer, such division superintendents, acting with the superintendent, to constitute a board of superintendents, which shall control the administration of school services. The Division by and with the consent of the Board of Education Said Dr. Chancellor, in explanation of the working methods of his plan. "The board of superintendents, for the purpose of considering appointments, promotions, transfers, demotions and dismissals of teachers in the white schools, should consist of the white men, women and children of far more advanced schools of the superintendent and the colored members of the board; but in all other respects, the board of superintendents, as far as may be practicable, should consider all educational questions in full session. The board of superintendents for the colored schools has so colored schools classes and schools in which colored children are taught." Dr. Chancellor's scheme has not as yet been brought closely enough to the scrutiny of the leaders of educational thought to bring out an expression as to its feasibility or superiority to the usual observer it appears to be a somewhat fantastic response to the demand made by the colored people for a larger degree of self-government in the administration of their own schools, and to meet the objections of certain whites to have the time of the white memb- Superintendent Chancellor also asks that the M Street High School be abandoned for high school purposes, and a new building be erected at some convenient point, modern in construction and with a high school building it is planned to use the present M street building as a grammar school. Condemnation proceedings will probably be instituted to secure sufficient ground for the construction of the new building to take the place of the dilapidated Mott School, near Howard University. Money will be provided for the structure and work will be commenced as soon as practicable. A large audience at the Second Baptist Lyceum, gave Auditor Ralph W. Tyler a warm reception Sunday when he delivered an instructive address on "Race Restrictions" and "Evidence of Race Advancement" in connection with the Lincoln Temple Congregational church, took high ground in his analysis of the public school question in a recent paper before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association. Avoiding all sensationalism, he gave special attention to the necessity for qualified teachers in the practical courses of creation of the officials intrusted with the management of the schools and the hearty support of the patrons whose children are being trained for the duties of life. The conceived case of A. P. Moore and Sister Sean Grace, from the First District of South Carolina, will be the only matter before the committee on questions of the House, in which the Nugo is generally interviewed. Although Mr. Prilman's complaint of being束 by fraud is sustained by the argument kind of testimony, there in little hope of him being accused, as an attempt to pawn his case would involve the entire question of the disinclining 'continuity' of the party, which the amount of the party are not in a frame of mind to assume just now. Messra, Andrew Hogan and Luke D. Beat, students of the theological department of Howard University, have been duly ordained as members of the Baptist ministry, after a rigid examination by a council composed of representatives of twenty-two Baptist churches of the District. Rev. W. D. Jarvis, president of the Baptist Ministerial Alliance of the District of Columbia, called the council under Rev. E. P. Cunningham the moderator, and Rev. J. Loving kept the records. Rev. W. D. Jarvis was the catechizer and Rev. M. W. D. Norman presented the charge of ordination. The exercises were held at the Metropolitan Baptist church. VIRGINIA ELKA Opinions of George B. King Bergarding Nik. Akbar. NORBOLL, Nov. 12—Being an Elk myself, I am, of course, particularly interested in the vital questions that affect every Afro-American Elk in this country, and as such I am writing this article, and not as a correspondent of TREK ACK. I conscientiously believe that a remedy has been prescribed by conservative, intelligent and worthy men, who make up the personnel of the opposing faction who see the urgent necessity of protecting every Afro-American Elk, if it takes every dollar and the unification of the two bodies. The rights of the people matter whether he is in the States of New York or Georgia. No one man can, without the power of the sovereign body, which is the Grand Lodge, change the professions or any part of the major part of the Grand Lodge after the same has been adopted. Whenever the head of any organization or any form of government attempts to override his authority, he is insuring and abridging the confidence and liberties of those he is supposed to serve. Hence, it is my conviction that Dr. W. E. Atkins and his large number of friends from the Elk lakes to the Gulf, are right. The fundamental principles that make them inseparable are the same that has made this country a republic and gave the Union forces victory. If the rights of the citizens of the United States lying in a foreign country are not protected and the foreign powers make the United States protect the rights of their citizens, is it not true that the administration of this country is weak and lacks the essentials that make for a good governing power? Dr. Atkins and his clan protected their brethren against a force determined to put them to the bad. One phase of the issue Dr. Atkins scores heavily. How can President Roosevelt, by his own dictation, change an amendment of the constitution or a law on the statute book without the legal power being given him? Totally absurd? Now the modulus operandi of Elkdom in spirit is the same as the constitution of this country. If it is so, how can one official without the consent of the law-making body change a law after it had been legally passed, and providing a response to minutes said, bully? The Afro-American Elks at Washington, D.C. voted to meet at Brooklyn, August 1981, and from the Grand Exalted Role's down to the "The American Elks" of Dr. Atkin, who will of the original Grand Lodge of heirs with the exception of two, and the major portion of the order's membership met at Brooklyn at the age of 25. The new law was not only only to the last convention and voted—heney, again from a same way of judizike right from a wrong. Dr. Atkins and his body is held to be the only one of the most high-quality law-making. The majority of Elks in this country, the press, the well-wishes of Afro-American organizations, all say the right. The white Elks of the city of New York are the honor of the Afro-American Elks' Convention, held in their city, 1981. Why? Because the men obeyed the mandates of their supreme body and made the law for the right of the order. As a peso that right will predominate, Dr. Atkins is Grand Exalted Role of lodges in twenties-time States, six new lodges have been located in the order of the meeting at Chicago, Phillis Wheatee, No. 102, Hamilton, Ohio, and Montgomery Lodge. No. 100, Montgomery. All have the power to follow the law, just as long as the Adkins and his fearless followers. Within a few days new lodges at Springfield, Mass., and New Orleans will be set aside by the same progressive and active body. Dr. Atkins and his members will be the most�nt, malicious utterances and actions he will not tolerate; I know the man, Dr. P. A. Scott, Mr. J. E. Crowley and a number of influential men of Dr. A. A. Brown, who are a number of representative, have been a number of an event that wants harmony. Mr. How artis's clan must manifest the same spirit that Dr. Atkins and his members are manifesting. In the case of a high-quality law-making, Mr. How artis is as follows, and I only present it is as the result of my investigation. Therefore, let the conservative men of Mr. Howard's than think of the same thing as being the best of the mostیلت, accept and acknowledge the truth and act accordingly. Once being a member of Mr. Howard's organization and coming into direct touch with his money, he will be sent to the meeting in the body. I feel that they will reason logically and crush that niggardly spirit often possessed by men who for selfish motives try to rid into power upon the heirs of the uniformity of constituency. Alpen Netsa Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Madison, of H Chapel street, Albany, N. Y., entertained at dinner Friday last, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Right Worth, Grand Secretary of Richmond, Va., and also Mrs. R. E.

I have used your Kinkine for the past year and my hair is growing very fast. I find it the most delightful hair dressing and tonic I have ever used, altogether different from the many cheap pomades and vaselines on the market. It makes my hair so beautiful, soft, silky, and has entirely removed all dandruff and stopped it from falling out and breaking off. And enables me to do it in any of the many styles that I use on the stage. It does all you claim for it, and I would not be without it. You're sincerely, MME, ROBINSON: Kinkine Hair Dressing is a delightful perfumed tonic prepared largely, for the use of colored people, is guaranteed to be absolutely safe and harmless. It makes harsh, stubborn, kinky, curly hair soft, silky and glossy, enables you to comb it with ease and to dress it in any style that you may wish. 163 We t 133rd Street, six large rooms and bath, hot-water supply.

Where The Age Stands Some of our contemporaries are much perturbed because THE Ace has once or twice, casually referred to Secretary Taft in a manner that was not uncompromisary, and because of this have jumped at the conclusion that THE Ace is a Taft organ. THE Ace is the organ of the race, and as such it reserves the right to speak complimentary, when deserved, of Secretary Taft or any other man, but such reference cannot be construed as making it an organ of whomsoever it refers to complimentary. THE Ace will at all times maintain a lofty attitude, discussing all questions, all measures, and all men with fairness, and in a calm, dignified way. It will withhold praise from none who may merit it, neither will it hesitate to criticize such as deserve criticism, whites or blacks. THE Ace stands for a principle, not for a mere policy. THE Age will continue, as it has in the past, to reflect the best sentiment, and will always consider the best interests of the race—the whole race, as peramount to any man or set of men. This newspaper has referred in complimentary terms to Governor Hughes, to Secretary Cortelyou and to Senator Foraker. It would be just as consistent, because of this, to say that it is a Hughes, or a Cortelyou or a Foraker organ. We will in the future, as the occasion arises, render unto these, and others the praise due them, but bestowing praise where it belongs, or giving credit where it is due cannot be accepted as making The Age an organ. THE AGE is the man best supported, and the most favored for the Presidency. THE AGE will loyally support him. If Governor Hughes, Secretary Cortelyou, or any of the other aspirants, for that matter, win nomination, then THE AGE is for the nince. THE AGE stands for Republicanism stands for Republicanism because we believe that the Republican party has vouchsafed in the past and vouchsafes for the future the greatest blessings for our race, and THE AGE is first and most a race newspaper than which we are no better. Dr. Washington's Call the address of Dr. Washington to colored people of the South, pub- lished in THE Age last week, deserves the read not alone by members of the Lee in the South, but by those in the arth as well, for it is food for thought r the race, no matter in what section may reside. Through education must this race of us be lifted up, and as the doctor well says, "If the children of this generation ow up in ignorance it goes without yng of course, that the children of next one will grow up in ignorance, and the race will perpetually have fas- tion and stupefying ignorance and if the attending ill." While the doctor addresses the race in the South particularly, it suggests these questions to such of the race as aide in the North. Are we as deeply interested in the education of our race in the South as we should be? Do we who enjoy the beneficent blessings of spendid public schools, free to all, per cent agravies to become unimindful of the urgent needs of our less fortunate orthers in the country districts of the South, where proper school facilities are yet but a dream? And finally, do we not delegate to a few earnest colored men of the South the work of uplifting in which we should all share, without regard to what section in which we list? Why should not communities in the north also resist money for the education of our people in the South? Why should not the race assist to bear its own burden, and thereby refuse to permit the country to refer to the race problem, especially the education of the race, as the white man's burden? Let us make it our burden. That address of Doctor Washington should be sent to every Negro church; to every Negro organization, civic or otherwise, in the North, and each should take it a duty to set aside at least one v in the year for the raising of funds assist in the education of our broth- children in the South how much happier would Christmas to us, we of the North, if only one per cent of the money we devote to holiday gifts and holiday festivities was sent to the other side of Mason We ask this serious question: Do such brightened 'Christian gentlemen as Key J. Milton Waldron, Prof W. S. Sarele rough, Mr F. L. McGhee, Mr J. R Clifford, Mr F. H. Grimke, Dr W. E. R Dubois, Prof William Bulkley sound for the style and the methods with which the Niagara Movement has made us familiar? Do they expect the public to follow them and respect them and have confidence in their efforts as long as they cling to such a body of death? Tm. New York, No does not hold a grant for any individual or for any special policy. We stand for fair play and justice. We do not deny that, there is a work for those connected with the so-called Niagara Movement, but emphasize the fact that they cannot accomplish this work through the methods which they have hitherto employed. Rogercault Nexer Imtaise The author of "The House of the Vampire" has been telling who the vampires are, and it is very interesting to know who the people are that feed on others. There is Gothe, he is a vampire, he sucks the blood of others' thinking. And Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon, was not original. He "forced the dispersed tails of minor humiliaries in one splendid dhame to light up the world." And Walter Page was of the same class as a vampire; and Victor Hugo stole other people's ideas and strung them along in glittering phrases. But why add others, if these grand old authors are vampires? Has the author no other purpose than to show that he himself in expressing these ideas is not one? Are we to regard as strictly true that venerable remark that there has been nothing new said since Plato said it? And then what of Socrates, and the men in the dim past beyond him? Might they not have been vampires, too? And may not the human intellect, THE NEW YORK AGE But the author further insists that President Roosevelt is a vampire—that "no creative thought ever originated under that forehead, that his dynamic personality gives force to the cerebrations of others." Now we know that the author is struggling for pure invention, and to escape the fate of the vampire. We are prepared to admit that Goethe is not original, that Shakespeare paraded the thoughts of others, that Victor Hugo glittered in the light of others, but when the author says that Theodore Roosevelt does not strike some seams of truth that nobody ever worked before, he invades regions of knowledge that are pre-empted, and that are new to him, for there he finds out that President Roosevelt originates, never imitates; that he leads, never follows. Maryland, My Maryland The election in Maryland was a sad blow to the hopes and aspirations of such of our race as reside in that commonwealth. 'It was a sad blow to the hopes and aspirations of the race in every State. The issue was plain, no attempt being made by the Democrats to hide its intention to disfranchise the Negro vote, if it succeeded.' That party, which is more to be feared, by our race, than the humiliic plague, won out. That a bill will be quickly introduced, and as quickly passed disfranchising the thousands of honest, manly, industrious Negroes of that State, placing them in the same sad state as their brothers in many of the Southern States, there is not the slightest doubt. And still there are Negroes, who advocate the election of Democrats. The Democratic party is as irreconcilably opposed to our race as light is to darkness. Like a hidra-headed octopus that party moves its slimy body forward, it's race-hatred tenacles reach out and encircle it to crush colored men in every State it gains a foothold. We weep for our brothers in Maryland, "Maryland, my Maryland"—(what Negro now can say it?) sends this message to Oklahoma, the new State, and Democratic, to "Maryland is with you in disfranchising the Negro. Let the good work, under Democracy continue until East, West, North and South have disfranchised him." The Meeting of the General Conferences of the Afro-American Churches Within a few months the General Conferences of the A. M. E. church meet, we believe, in Norfolk, and that of the Zion church in Philadelphia We are not informed as to the meeting place of the C M. E Conference, but, at any rate, we are writing this editorial for the purpose of impressing upon the leaders in these three great organizations that now is the time to begin to prepare for thorough, effective, and fundamental work to be done by these organizations during the weeks that they are in session. It is sometimes feared and sometimes asserted that much valuable time is lost in connection with these meetings owing to the fact that the attention and activities of the members of these conferences are largely taken up with the matter of electing bishops and general officers. The election of bishops and general officers should only be a part of the work and not occupy any extent the interests of the members to the exclusion of much else that is valuable. We have sometimes wondered whether it would not be wiser to elect the bishops and general officers during the first two of three days of the conference and have that over with so that the organization could settle down to the real work of strengthening the church during the remaining session. There is a great opportunity for all three of these organizations to put on foot plans that will strengthen and broaden the work of the Mio American church. In the election of hisips and general officers, we earnestly hope that no unworthy man will be recognized. Any man who has the taint of suspicion resting upon him should fall outside the breastworks. No church that expects to have the confidence and respect of the people should think for a minute of electing a man as bishop or general officer who is the least tainted with intemperance or immorality in any direction. There are too many clean, strong men in these three organizations for the church to run the risk of putting a man in a responsible position whose life in the past has not been what it should have been. Let the motto be. Only clean men need apply. It is very often true of our churches that men lead careless and intemperate lives during a large portion of their lives; but within a few months of the meeting of the general conference they try to straighten themselves up in order to secure a good office at the hands of the church. The mistake of recognizing such men should be obvious to all. H. C. Smith Stung The Hon Harry C. Smith, the inconsiderately pugnacious "editor and proprietor of the Cleveland Gazette, and also exponent of the Ohio State Legislature" as he invariably subscribes Limself, had a rude awakening last week. His paper had been making a series of vicious attacks on Congressman Burzon, candidate for Mayor of Cleveland, under the guise of loyalty to Senator Foraker. He called upon the colored voters of that city to repudiate Mr. Burton, intimating that Senator Foraker desired. Burton's defeat. And the Boston Mud Scoot played the "meet-o" part. The rumor played that the Senator would, or had, written a letter advising his friends to vote for Mr. Burton and the entire Republican ticket was pooh-pooed by the author of "Be True, Bright Eyes," and even pronounced by, him as a campaign lie. While the last issue of his weekly autobiography carried his emphatic denial that the Senator had written or would write such a letter, the simultaneous issue of the Cleveland Journal carried the Senator's letter—a runging appeal to his (the Senator's) friends to support Mr. Burton and the whole ticket. Now what has Mr. Smith to say? From this point of view, it appears that Senator Foraker had never demonstrated Mr. Smith and his weekly autobiography as his mouthpiece. It appears that Senator Foraker would not permit himself to be used as a cloak for selfish and designing Negroes. And as Tire Age stated four weeks ago, in its editorial under the caption of "The Brownville Ghons," black ghouls are as much the enemy of Senator Foraker as they are of the President. We imagine that the Honorable H. C. Smith can now cognitate and must over that very expressive slang expression—"Stung." Two Important Meetings The people of Greater New York should clear in mind, that during the coming summer two most important and influential Afro-American gatherings will take place in New York. We refer to the National Negro Medical Association and to the National Baptist Convention. Both of these organizations will bring to the city a class of men and women that represent the highest and best element of our people. Individuals and organizations should begin now to make preparations for the proper reception of these bodies, and should see to it that their meeting is here successful from every point of view. The National Baptist Convention is perhaps the largest organization in America of our people. Of course, the burden of preparing for this convention will center very largely upon such men as Rev. Dr. Charles H. Morris and Rev Dr. N. W. Gilbert, but every individual regardless of denomination should prepare to stand by and second the movements of these men The Episcopal Bishops at Richmond "Bishop Patter got amused, J Pierre- mont Morgan got agitated, the Bishop of Louisiana, got scared, but the Negro, Fish Ferguson, got the dinner"— Atlanta Constitution The above is the substance of a recent editorial in the Atlanta Constitution bearing upon the now-famous Bishop Patter dinner given to Bishop Ferguson in Richmond a few weeks ago. We reproduce this editorial from the Constitution to show that this short editorial represents one of the most encouraging phases of Southern life that we have seen for a good while. It shows that the Southern people are getting to the point where they can appreciate the humor that there is in these sunless outbreaks. The South might as well learn now as well as later that it cannot govern the individual acts of American citizens. A. Human Document. We publish to day, in another column a letter from the pen of the Rev. W. H. Ferris, of Boston, which has a peculiar interest for the light that it shoots in the workings of the inside circle of the Negro Movement and some other movements which have their headquarters in Boston. We do not publish this letter because since the sentiments there expressed, we because that form of literature is best and most helpful thing we could put into a face paper. We publish it that as a human document. It shows clearly the workings of a certain class of minds which we have not hitherto been able to fully comprehend. We ask our readers to read this document carefully. It is worth the thoughtful study of every man who has the interest of the face of heart. After reading this document we have registered a vow in Heaven that if we have ever been guilty of thinking or fearing, let alone printing and publishing inviting like such puffish stuff as this about the leaders of our race who happen to differ with us, we will never, never, God helping us, do it again. Read it, think it over, brethren! Are we helping our cause, are we doing ourselves justice, in writing such stuff as this about each other? In the recent issue of The Philadelphia Tribune, our good friend, Editor Chris Perry, deposes and proposes to ask some questions. We want to say to Editor Perry that in New York city newspaper space is very valuable and costs money, too valuable to be taken up in answering such questions as the editor asks. In Philadelphia, where the world moves more slowly, newspaper space is cheap. We are sorry to say we can spare no space just now to answer Mr. Perry's questions, but we will say this, that no matter who The Age may support or seem to be supporting now, that ten months from now we wager that Editor Perry with his good newspaper will be found on the hand wagon supporting Roosevelt, Taft or any other candidate that THURSDAY NOVEMBER 14, 1907 --- the Republicans may nominate. Editor Perry will not only be on the band wagon; but will be beating the base drum. This is his record in the past, and he is not going back on it at this late day. If our readers have not had their attention called to it or have not seen the recent book published by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., entitled "Mam' Linda," they should get this book and read it. It is written by Will N. Harben, a North Carolina white man, and strikes a note in advance of anything that has been written for a long while by a Southern man on the race question. From a literary point of view the book is worth reading. From a moral and racial point of view it is courageous and strong. The last week's issue of The Independent places this book in the front rank of literary productions. The main point of the book is to impress upon the Southern white people the mistake they are making by flocking together as sheep without each one thinking for himself. As Governor, Northen puts it, "A man only exercises real influence when he goes to follow the crowd and turns around and goes the other way." The book is worth reading. The attention of our people in Greater New York and vicinity should constantly be called to the fine work being done for an fortunate class of our people by the Howard Orphan Asylum in Brooklyn. This asylum needs not only the sympathy and good will of our people, but it needs much cash each year. We trust that it will not only be generously supported by the living, but that many of our people who have something to leave behind in their wills will remember this excellent institution. --- This winter should bring about greater activity in the work of the local Negro Business Leagues. Every Afro-American center in Greater New York should be reached through this organization and organized. There ought to be instead of one local league in Greater New York, a half dozen. Our people are ready to rally to the support of the organization, and the only thing is for the officials of the local league to keep the work steadily and constantly before our people. An analysis of the vote by wards cast in Cleveland, Ohio, on election day, shows that the colored vote stood like a Gilbertan for Burton, the Republican candidate. He polled the unanimous vote of these people. Had the white vote stood as loyalty by Mr. Burton as the colored vote did, he would have been elected. Of course, we expect to hear Mr. Smith say he did it. But the vote in the colored wards fails to bear out such a claim. ```markdown ``` It is said Audier Ralph W Tyler says he is too busy trying to conduct his office in a manner to reflect credit on the whole race to engage in any newspaper work, whenever he is asked to contribute to newspapers. Wise head. If nose glasses are indicative of great mental ability, then the colored servant girls of Washington are regular mental friends. They all wear nose glasses—only, however, when they put on their glad toes. In Chicago a poet was fined $1 and sent to coli. Now what chance would Omar Khiyam have had in Chicago? Chances are he would have been sent up to prison. In Washington the other day a colored barber rolled a judge he was shaving of $25. We presume his defense will be the high cost of living in Washington. OUR FORTUNE. To the Refitting Editor of The New York Age. Great warrior, scared and battle scarred. By course of prolonged hard.

A short fortnight ago the financier of this nation were completely demoralized. Pessimism was in the very air that was breathed in every thought that was framed, and in every sentence that was spoken. *Panki* was on the longues that the frightened chef deposited basked baring institutions for the purpose of withdrawing their deposits was a painful manifestation of the crisis through which the nation was passing. A vague fear of what might happen seemed to possess deppartists, and the note of distress that was wailed in New York had its reverberation in nearly every part of this country. The writer will never forget the expression "agonizing anxiety that he saw on the contenances of men and women, 249, and young, rich and poor, well dressed and meanly clad, as they stood in line before a Wall street trust company, anxiously waiting their turn to present their pass books to the paying teller. Why that alarm? As was printed in the columns of the paper two weeks ago, the flood of banking institutions has been motorily overextended. The ratio of cash in banks to individual deposits, in 1906, was only 8.2 per cent, and to the aggregate resources of the banks, only 5.6 per cent, the lowest since the national bank act of 1863. When the crash came in United Copper, and with it the exposure of questionable financial methods of certain bank officials, deppartists and others, the number of credit on the part of banking institutions. With that awakening they arose as one man and demanded their money. Money! Money! I want my money! could be heard on every hand; and the call for money was so persistent and loud that the "greatest Roman of them all" in financial circles was compelled to heed that call. And that Roman was Morgan. What he did on that memorable day to bring order out of chaos was almost frantic with fear has placed fresh laurels on his brow and cause him again to he hailed as the uncrowned king in the realm of finance. As a result of that sowing millions of bakes of cotton have been picked, and much of that cotton is now being exchanged for the world's gold. Millions and millions of dollars are pouring into the country day by day, and a goodly proportion of every dollar that comes is a glittering tribute to the worth of the Negro to this country in times of peace as well as in war. How long this feeling of relief, this note of clever will continue, we shall not attempt to state, for "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." FIRST AMERICAN GRADUATE Rice of an American Boy in the Philippine Islands. MASSA, P. L, Nov 11 - Mr. Robert G. Shield, an American Negro who has been acting as a clerk in the bureau posts, has passed the medical examination and is now entitled to put the characteristic "M. D." after his name. Mr. Shields is from Pennsylvania; he was born in Philadelphia, September 7, 1877. He was raised and educated in Washington, D.C., and spent some time at Howard University, receiving the degree of doctor of pharmacy from that institution. Mr. Shield arrived in the Philippine Islands September 10, 1878, and spent the following months hospitalized during the instruction. He was a hospital steward in the United States army, served as assistant to Chief Medical Inspector for Bureau of Engineers. One of the first colored men in these islands to erect a two-story home owned and built by himself in the city of Manila, valued at 5,000 peso on a lot of 500 meters. He now holds interests in a rice farm in the Province of Pangasian. During his term at the Philippine University of Santa Tomas taking a post graduate's course in medicine, he was employed in the Manila post-office as a craftsman, the distinction of being from the first American of the university, taking the degree and diploma of sudanian and medical doctor. These lectures are all in Spanish. He has also qualified before the State Board of Medical Examiners of these islands which is composed of the Assistant Commissioner of Public Health Dr. R. E. L. Newberner, and others. Dr. Erleanor J. Powe, and Dr. S. K. Rosario, a Spaniard, and has been awarded the state certificate which legally qualifies him to practice medicine and surgery in the islands. Mr. Shields was also one of the first colored physician in the State of Ohio. He is president of the Filipino Postal Association, composed of all Filipino postoffice clerks only), lying the only American in the association. He speaks Spanish and nearly all the dialects used in these islands. He is now awaiting an appointment as District Medical Officer in the Province of Pangasian, one of the wealthiest provinces in the islands, and his success is almost certain. JUDGE HITS NT LYNCHING "The Beginning of Anarchy" says Judge Martín to grand jury COLUMBUS, Ga.-In his charge to the Muscoce grand jury, the first charge he has delivered in this county in fifteen years, Judge J. H. Martin touched upon lynching in connection with his reference to the statute against obstrucing sheriffs and constables in the discharge of their official duties. He said that the law requiring that if an officer is interfered with in the discharge of his duty he must report the circumstances to the grand jury, together with a list of the guilty parties, was enacted because of the great number of lynchings on the county. Judge Martin said with great emphasis that there was no excuse for lynchings, as there is no crime for which the law does not provide an adequate punishment. He declared that lynching was the beginning of apathy and should not be tolerated. She Declares That in Talking of the Race Problem Before Purity Congress She Made No Sweeping Accusations Against the White People of the South. WASHINGTON. Nov. 11.—I desire to correct the account, sent by telegraph and widely published, of my address before the purity congress, in Battle Creek, Mich. According to this report I declared "no servant girl" (referring, of course, only to colored girls) is safe in the home of white people." Although it was not definitely stated that I confined my remarks to the white people of the South, the general impression throughout the country is that I did so. I wish to affirm in the most positive and emphatic language possible that I not only made no such statement at Batle Creek, but that I have never made statement in the keeping, sleeping, statement anywhere in life. More over, I never thought so. It is difficult to believe that the individual who sent out such a report could have made a mistake, if he heard my address. * * * Even if I believed such a condition existed in the South or anywhere else that I served white people was safe, and I knew that such a company does not exist, I should not proclaim it from the honeysets. My mission is to tell the truth about the race problem and to appeal to the sense of justice of the broad-minded, generous-hearted white people of this country, both North and South, and neither to disseminate falsehoods nor stir up dissensions and strife. If I placed all white men of the South in the same immoral class, I should perpetrate the same injustice upon them that is so frequently perpetrated upon colored people. Nobody knows better than myself that there are hundreds of white people in the South, who have been blessed by nature with splendid intellects, who are kind and tender of heart and who yearn to be true to their higher, better natures, who dare not deal charitably toward their colored brother, because they languish in chains which a tyrannical public opinion and a cruel, vindictive intolerance of other people's views have forged. The colored man is not the only slave in the South. If I believed that in which we were a Solomon and Gemorrah in which weIGHThed, humane white people lived, I would despair far more of the future of the white people of the South than I do of the race which is often wronged. I should be ashamed to declare that all white men, either North or South, were guilty of any one particular sin, for I should know that I was not telling the truth. So far as the colored domestics in the South are concerned, I quoted from a statement which a white judge in Mississippi is said to have made. When the Circuit Court convened in Jackson, Miss, about two years ago, according to the reports from the newspapers, the judge, Judge Anderson, charge to the grand jury was that the "unlawful, habitual relations" existing between colored women and white men, "The civil, he declared, "is not confined to any taste or standard of society, but the last men of the community, men with beautiful wives and children at their homes, maintain relations with colored women, and the result has been that I behave to a great degree the more serious resulting from the more serious of affairs. The condition has become so extreme that it is to a great degree the great problem between the races, as many of the good Negroes now condemn and are fighting against it. The colored women should not be made more to blame," Judge Anderson is reported to have said, "thay the men, * * * I think, as I said before, the servant problem is greatly chargeable to this bad man, many instances, instead of the servant willing to give references, she herself wants references before she will go to work." "When a Southern white man, and a judge at that," I said, "openly admits that colored domesticies stand in such deadd of the men in some of the families for whom they work in the South, that they themselves ask for references, guarantees, so to speak, that they will be housed to them, that they are hosted by the men, can you wonder that colored mothers, who love their daughters and hold their honor dear, are leath to see them work in those communities, where their downfall is almost certain, and where, when misfortune and dishonor overtake them, they have practically no refresher? But this is the case, even problem as it affects colored girls, which rarely presented to the public and seldom discussed." That is the only utterance I made which any person, however malicious and cunning, could have twisted into meaning that "no colored servant is safe in the home of the white people." I did say many things hearing upon the colored American's morals which I wish had been reported, but which were completely ignored. I am reported to have delivered a "bitter and furious invective against the people of the South." I have never delivered a furious invective against anybody or anything, either on the lecture platform or through the press. Whenever I have opportunity, I shall present the color man's and the colored woman's side of the step to the world to all who are willing to hear me. I mean to continue to appeal to the charitable and just to consider more carefully and more prayerfully their tute, to a race which needs their sympathy and aid. In closing, I wish to call attention to the fact that the Mississippi judge from whom I quoted charged the white men of his section with complicating the servant problem by their relations with the colored domestics, and not myself. I beseech you, therefore, not for my sake, but for your sake of the cause I must to publish deeds of the report sent all over the country which has so cruel misquoted me.

He has gained many friends by his seal for Christian work. But now the dear deacon is in difficulty. The historian would say, to begin at the beginning, the deacon must imagine he is living in Utah among the Mormon for a few years, but he fully married to Alice Reddie, of Baltimore, in 1879. This lady is still living. By this first wife he had one child, Alexander. In 1887, he was again married, this time to Laura Frances Hunnicut. But was the deacon divorced? He stated to the authorities at Providence, where the marriage occurred, that both he and she were divorced from their first partners. This, however, is false. An investigator has personally seen and talked with the first wife in a certain town in Virginia during the month of November. She stated that she married John L. Waters, of Baltimore, Md., in 1879; and that Alexander Waters is her son, although it is believed otherwise. After marriage she suffered ill-treatment at the hands of John L. Waters. He would not give her sufficient food or clothing, and he gave most of his time and attention to other women. John L. Waters deserted her while she very sick in Baltimore, and her mother, now dead, came to Baltimore and took her home to Virginia. Previous to her mother's taking her home, she received many letters from John L. Waters, demanding that the boy, Alexander, be given over to his care; and that he, John L. Waters, came from New York city to Baltimore in about 1887 and took the boy away to New York city and she has not seen the boy since that time. The investigator also personally inspected the marriage license and in it John L. Waters declares: he was a divorced person at the time of the second marriage. But now the present wife declared at the time of her marriage to Waters that her name was Hunnicut, which is also her father's name. Yet she claimed to have been married and divorced. The investigator also has personally and carefully inspected the county and city divorce records of New York, Baltimore and Providence, as these are the only places of which they are bona-fide residents, and unimpeachable documentary evidence is in hand that Waters is divorced man. The unadjusted facts, and evidence to substantiate the same can be produced to satisfy persons of ordinary intelligence. This same deacon has been an advocate of righteousness and purity and a decretor of filth and adultery. This investigation was made without any feelings of partiality and by a disinterested party. And at the time of making the investigation, the investigator was willing and anxious at all collect evidence at John L. Waters but was unable to find any. If John L. Waters can deny any part of the above statements, or if there is any just cause for a reasonable doubt, we shall be very pleased to hear from him through these columns. WITHER R. ALEXANDER 29 W. 42d street, New York city. Blanked Opinions from Some Southern White Newspaper From The Literary Digest. It is just such incidents as these which keep the flames of dissension and evasion alight and increase the difficulty of finding a gravest problem that ever confronted a proud, cultured and intelligent people, says the Atlanta Journal, referring to the fact that Bishop Henry C. Dutton of New York, at the close of the recent church congress in Richmond, played the host to Bishop Ferguson, a Negro missionary bishop to South Africa. "There would naturally be a disposition on the part of the newspapers of the South to overlook the faux bishop in his dune socially, while the New York prelate and his wife were themselves enjoying the hospitality of the people of Richmond," continues the Journal, "were it not that the blunder appears to have been so deliberate, and there seems to be so little regret on the part of the offender." We are told further that it "looked very much like an emotional affront to the people of the South," and that the incident the more to regret is that it could not attract attention on two hemiplegia and to precipitate a controversy which certainly will contribute nothing to the cause of piety and religious fellowship." To quote further from the same source. "There is something in the sacred Scripture to the effect that those who minister in the temples should take heed that they give no offense, so the distinguished prelate, visiting in the South, was under special obligation to connect himself in such a manner that he would not offend the sensibilities, the prejudices, if you prefer, of the people whose hospitality he was paying. He would give recourse to the advice of St Ambrose, presuming that he is familiar with the teachings of the fathers, to the effect that when one is in Milan one may do as the Milanese do, but when one is in Rome one must do as the Romans do. "In Richmond, Va, the former capital of the Southern Confederacy, it is not customary to receive Negroes on a plane of social equality. The fact that the guest happens to be a bishop of Virca did not alter the situation. he had been a Kafka teacher he would have been a fierce and practical barrier of race was there, and the people of Richmond did not ask or need the revolutionary precedents from the bishop of New York." The fiery element of the Southern press has been stimulated by the incident to exploit in a most violent way the race issue, while the more conservative papers deplore this very result. To quote an example: "Same time the Chattanooga Times and the Charlotte (N.C.) Observer. "With its usual admirable good sense and honesty, the Charlotte Observer deprecates the aerimony with which certain Southern newspapers have attacked Bishop Potter, of New York, for entertaining a colored bishop at the center of the race. The Oceans thinks that Bishop Potter evidently looked upon the act as official rather than personal, and merely failed to see why one prince of a church should not offer another some slight en- THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1907 LOOK, LOOK AND BE WISE GO TO B.

Of course, Bishop Porter did not intend that, but that he did." Bishop Nelson, of Georgia, has issued the following statement, which sounds much like an apology for Bishop Potter's action: "The incident, to say the least, was an unfortunate one. My own ideas on such subjects are different from Bishop Potter's may act, but Bishop Potter has certainly taken his own all the missionary bishops, and I assume that the thought it discounted to except the Negro bishop from South Africa. That he miscalculated the effect of having a Negro bishop at his house is certain, but I am equally certain he had no intention to wound Southern people who make an attack on their dearest sentiments. "The New York Ace, an Afro-American paper, has this to say: "By meeting out an ordinary courtesy to an Afro-American bishop it seems that Bishop Potter, of New York, has brought down upon his head the conspiracy of the famed group of Virginia. We wonder how long it will take the white people of Virginia to learn that they are one hundred years behind the times and that nobody cares a snap, aside from themselves, about the individual acts and private doings of public men. Bishop Potter had a be a use for which he paid his cash. The Afro-American people will honor him for his courage and for his liberality." SALVATION ARMY DRAWS LINE.

MAYO, Ga., November 4.—The medical treatment of tuberculosis, outdoor treatment, the sweeping of houses and railway cars while occupied by persons, the acute stages of the disease, and the general apprehension of consumption among the Negroes, proved the ideas that brought forth earnest consideration and long discussions at the suburbicula congress, held by the black ace Central City park. The leading Negro physicians of the State were in attendance, and the meetings in the prison of the negroes which put the rate as far as medical skill is concerned, to working out the best methods of preventing the rapidly increasing disease in the South. Many Negro physicians were in attendance, some representing other States than Georgia. Negresa Go to California AMERICANS, Ga., Colored Republicans of Americans recently issued thousands of circular letters to Negroes of the Third Congressional district calling upon them to register and qualify to vote unanimously against proposed disfranchisement. The letter deprecated the emigration movement, which is carrying classes from southwestern Georgia to California; and calls upon them to continue in Georgia and assist in its developments. Hundreds of Negroes have disposed of their property there and departed already, while hundreds are preparing to do likewise. Their circular letter was temperate and is being circulated broadcast.

GREENE, Insurance Broker 47 Albany Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. July 23-19 A Remarkable View of the Incident for a Southern Newspaper. From The Richmond News-Leader. Let Southern people and newspapers refrain carefully from making themselves ridiculous by throwing fits over the fact that Bishop Potter, of New York, yesterday had Bishop Fergusson, a Negro from the west coast of Africa, to lunchon with him. All of us in this part of the country rose up in protest when the story came that President Roosevelt had invited Booker Washington to his table. That, however, is a different case. The President is supposed to be the representative of the people of the whole country and the White House is a public building, inasmuch as it was maintained by the entire country. Therefore the representative of the people and occupying a house belonging to the people, is required to respect public sentiment and feeling in his conduct while holding office and occupying a building owned by these United States. Bishop Potter is a gentleman living in his own home. He has a right to do as he pleases, to select his own guests without criticism. The attitude and behavior of the white man who tries to live up to the grand old name of gentleman toward the Negro who is trying to do the same thing is embarrassing always and continually presents delicate questions of deportment, etiquette and ethics. The requirements of hospitality and courtesy, respect for character and, sometimes, for position, clash harshly with the color line which enmits both body and sound judgment, feel bound to draw. These are matters in which general rules and regulations are impossible and in which each man must determine for himself his own action, frequently on the spur of the moment. If the miserable race problem was not so fearful and constantly present, as it is, it would be impertinent to discuss in a newspaper the actions of a gentleman under his own too and in the privacy of a house which under the law and by his own accord has been occupied castle, therefore here. The story of Bishop Potters reception of Bishop Ferguson, however, has been heralded and has become a legitimate and necessary subject for discussion. From our standpoint we have no censure. We are convinced that no offense to racial prejudices was intended. Bishop Ferguson is a man of clean life and high character, an important official of his church, doing what is where work is needed. Bishop Potter doubtless wishes to honor the office and the work and the man. He is not a Southerner and the race question does not press upon him as it does upon us here. The best position for us in the South to take is to regard the incident as an incident and unusual and the result of somewhat peculiar conditions and point it out of our minds as quickly as possible to recognize sequences of existing conditions. It is not a precedent or a step toward social equality. We happen to know that Bishop Ferguson came here from Liberia, in which country he is a pre-eminent social and religious factor, believing that his reception would be hostile and that he would be subjected to many humiliations, in objection to his sense of duty to his church and his work. It is gratifying to know that he was pleasantly disappointed. He found himself among a gathering of American gentlemen and has been met with kindness and courtesy everywhere and at every turn by the Virginia people as well as his fellowmen. I Bishop Potter saw fit to step little beyond which we of the South, regard as possible, into intercourse with colored people, it is his affair and none of ours. And the less we say about it the better. GUILTY OF ASSAULT. White Men Guildy—Not Lynchad- BROOKHAVEN, Miss., November 11.

JONES 141 West 98th Street --- PENNSYLVIA, Nov. 11.—The Philadelphia Association for the Protection of Colored Women will aid in the solution of the mistress and maid question by weekly lectures which will tend to promote domestic harmony between the occupants of parlor and kitchen. The first of these meetings was delivered on last Thursday evening at their headquarters, 1600 Catherine street. Mrs. S. W. Layton, secretary of the association, presided. Both sides of the question was impartially considered, and it is the expectation that means will be formed to establish an era of better feel, between women and her help." Specifically directed at the wrangles of the servants, a practical method of procuring co-operation between employer and employee will be sought. Mrs. Layton then announced that meetings will be held every Thursday night. At each meeting a different phase, of the complex problem will be discussed. Every part of the question will be thoroughly threshed out before it is dropped. Noted social workers have been scheduled to speak before the association. It is planned to have as many women and Afro-American servants present as can be induced to attend. Addresses will be made at the association headquarters by Dr. Charlotte Abbey, Miss Frances Bartholowne, Councilman Richard A. Cooper and Mrs. W. F. Hamilton. Mr. Harry Pringle Ford, an elder in the Holland Memorial Presbyterian church, is being worshipped as a deity—or rather, his photograph—is being worshipped to-day by thousands of stalwart, ebony-skinned natives in Mattabele, South Africa. He won this distinction by philanthropy. Fourteen years ago he befriended a poor Zulu boy, whom he came to this country to secure an education, and that was enticed to Chicago, and used as an attraction on the Midway, at the World's Fair. He not proving profitable as a "money getter" his manager abandoned him, and it was Mr. Ford who rescued him, from dire poverty. The friendless boy, whose name was Hosana Coronto, turned out to be the son of Coronto, a cruel monarch in the Zulu country, who has more than twenty wives, and whose authority has no restrictions. Men are killed in Zululand at a nod of the potentate's head. Through Mr. Ford's generosity he was sent back to his native country, who paid his expenses and gave him a photograph of himself. Coronto returned last week, and immediately proceeded to the Board of Publication in the Witheroon Building, with which Mr. Ford my arms, much to the surprise of art. Ford, who had nearly forgotten the incident. Looking at him intently he recognized his protege who had been greeting them followed, which touched a tender spot in the heart of Coronio; after wiping a tear from his eye, he said: "Do you remember that picture you gave me? Well, my father, the king, fell in love with it. Of course, it was your goodness to his son that impressed him. He has put it on a throne in our largest hut, which my people use as a temple, and has commanded his people to worship it. He told them it was an American god who had saved his son's life. And everybody worships it. No one dares to disobey my father, for he would instantly kill them." Mr. Ford was duly impressed, and asked him how he was getting along. He said: "I have been trying to teach his people manners, and started a school for the purpose. But the work was slow. The girls insisted on attending without clothing in warm weather. However, they soon learned, and I soon found that they knew as much as the teacher. That I have come to America obtain an education; after which I will go back to Zulukland and teach my people." Asked where he would go, he said he had often heard of the great Booker T. Washington, he thought he would go to Tuskegee. Coronto will leave this week. Tuberculosis formed a topic for discussion last Sunday by James McGirt, A. B., Ph. D., publisher of McGirt's Magazine, at the Zion African Methodist Episcopal church, at 21st and Tasker streets, under the auspices of the Afro-American Educational Bureau, of which he is founder and president, Mr. McGirt emphatically states that tuberculosis is cutting great inroads among Afro-Americans of this country, one-seventh of the average 150,000 annual deaths being attributed to the white plague. J. H. GRAY. THIEF STUCK IN CHIMNEY. When the Flame shot Up Dave Begin to Yell. TUSKEGEE, Ala., November 11—Dave Crawford, a Negro, last night went to the house of M. S. Russell, pulled off his shoes and went on top of the house to make an entrance by going down the chimney. He got wedged about half way down and there he had to remain until this morning, when Russell went to make a fire. When the fire began to burn Dave began to yell. It took some time to locate him, and by the time Russell got assistance, toore down the chimney and liberated Dave he was burned from head to foot. Wine Fourth Place SPRINGFIELD, O. November 11.—In a declaration contest held under the auspices of the literary society of Wittenberg school, Springfield, Ohio, Samuel Huffman, the only colored student in the college, captured fourth place. His section, "An Episode of the American solution," was filled with many charm. Jurvenius, Cyr, Me, Nov. 11—Parmenot me to encumber upon your space this once more, and I shall not take the sage privilege again soon. But in view of the fact that Dr. Mills has made his letter in your paper of November 7 a personal one to me and about me, impugning my motives and making threats of a personal nature, I am constrained to answer in a few words. Bast in the outset allow me to say that I shall not stoop to the same style of diction he employs. "Vituperation and billingagate never made argument nor convinced anyone, neither will it do so now. While presumably addressing his letter to the editor, he turns in the body of the letter, "You are the second person, 'you', and charges me with all manner of evils. I have nothing to apologize for in my attitude in this matter, either now or in the past. Dr. Mills recites the truth when he says I was at Columbus and that I was a worker there. I was made editor of the newly created 'Elks' Journal." and as such officer I set myself to a calm concluding up to and prior to the separation of the order. In the first issue of that paper, which, I shall be glad for anybody to see, I wrote among other things; "We do not impugn the motives of those who led in this revolt. But in the light of newspaper paragraphs and in view of the trivial circumstance (the changing of the place of meeting) which is so fraught with results, it does now seem strange if there is not something hidden away in the closets that is not known to the public." And here in November, 1907, I reiterate that the character in the place of meeting was not solely responsible for the order; there was something hidden away from the public, and I was one of the public. I did not know, and hundreds of others did not know, of the methods which Mr. Howard and some of his chief lieutenants had been using in the order and which had gone on until these men of the East greed tired of enduring their and set adrift for themselves. When I found those things out, when I found that I had been made to subserve the ends and aims of others, I cut myself away from them and together with them, and there in Columbus, joined forces with those whose eyes had been opened before mine. I have no apology to make for that act or for any others, nor do I apologize for or retract what I have written either at that time or now. I endeavored through the columns of the Journal as long as I remained at its head to get at the facts, and wrote from those facts as I obtained them. When I found out that what I had learned would justify me in supporting Mr. Howard no longer. I resigned my position under him both as a District Deputy and as editor and left his ranks. If it is inconsistency to stop and retrace one's steps when he finds he has started wrong, and Dr. Mills says himself that I "only started," then let me be inconsistent always. If anyone can find in my letter as published in The Age the statement that Dr. Atkinson won a suit over Mr. Howard for $20,000, I will pay a reward for the same. As President Roosevelt would say: "The gentleman made a deliberate misstatement which might be characterized by a shorter word." The fact is this: Dr. Mills said in his first letter, "We have never resorted to the courts nor will we ever do so to protect ourselves," together with some more bombast. I cited the instance "in a suit instituted by B. F. Howard against Dr. V. E. Atkinson all others in Virgina to badly beaten that he had to withdraw the case before trial." Now he says in his last letter: "If I advised Mr. Howard to withdraw from the courts, in this State," I think people generally can see the contradiction—or shorter word—involved in these two statements. I think that those who read my letter some time ago and that of Grand Secretary Holmes recently will some to the conclusion that there was something wrong, something hidden away, and it was only a mater of time before a split would have to come. When the public generally and the order at large learns the true history of those days and years present the Brooklyn and Columbus invasions, the evidence in favor of the action of the Brooklyn men will stop forever this ready flow of cheap oratory and flowery rhetoric. Three months after the Columbus meeting my lodge and many others left Mr. Howard. We have been away ever since and we have been satisfied. If the course of the other wing which we left is not more marked by tyranny, and gag rule, as your correspondent states, times have certainly changed. And they changed because of the fright that this newer wing has given in its rapid and miraculous growth. Until the order is thoroughly purged of the autocracy which has marked it hitherto and has settled down to the democracy which belongs to it, there will not and can never be union. But when scheming politicians and men who desire to use it for other than its legitimate purposes are eliminated from the forefront and control, there will be no need of arbitrary rule. The committee will rise its might and demand union. If there is some one on the Unification Committee to whom Dr. Mills objects that objection need not stand in the committee's way. The gentleman to whom he refers was one of the original five who incorporated this order and has labored long for its success and upbuilding. He will do the same here we all know. I am going to let Mr. Preston Moore answer this gentleman since he will believe him. Under date of October 13 Mr. Moore writes me: "The reference of Dr. Mills to my notes relative to the Arbiteration Committee I took from my notes to Mr. Moore, and the fault of my notes and not of the heart." Without appealing to the galleries with far-fetched figures of boundless oceans, beautiful ships and cloudless skies, allow me to thank you for your indulgence as so great a length to tell my good friend, Dr. Mills, that neither Virginia nor Kentucky contain all that is worth while in Elkdom, and can be found in his later article he has made a deliberate misstatement—or perhaps a shorter word.

CAMERON, Texas, November 4.—Following his indictment to-day by the grand jury on a charge of attempted criminal assault, Alex Johnson, a Negro, was taken from the jail here by a mob of 500 men and hanged to a trg in the court house yard. The officers and influential citizens pleaded with the mob to allow the law to take its course, but their efforts were without effect, and the doors of the jail building were battered down, the Negro secured and lynched. The town is quiet this evening. The governor ordered out the militia, but not in time to save the Negro. South Carolina's Killing Record. (From the Newberry Record.) The number of homicides in this State is alarming. If this crime is sharply among the worse element, but it is not by any means confined to them. At any rate, the better element will share in the responsibility for this state of affairs if they do not take more active and surer methods, through the courts and otherwise, to check this flood of crime. Just think of the number of people in the four in nine weeks. We venture to say there is not a country on the face of the earth, civilized or uncivilized, that can equal that record. It is intolerable. WHITE MAN IN HEN ROOST. Colored Man Captures White Chicken Thief and Gets "Hush Money."
