TEEN FAMILIES FLEE FROM BLAZE IN HARLEM FLAT Youth Rushes Through Blazing Halls and Rescues His Blind Mother Interesting News by The Age Correspondent of the Many Social and Benevolent Organizations of the City—The True Reformers and the Walters' National Association. Early last Friday morning fire started in the tailor shop owned by Mr. George Bramblair at 187 West 134th street, and appended so rapidly that the ten families living in the house had to escape by way of the roof and fire escapes. The flames spread with great rapidity and by the time the first of the fire department arrived had spread to the two adjoining fata, necessitating a second alarm. For a time the three buildings occupied by more than thirty families were in grave danger, but on the arrival of more engines and firemen, the houses on either side were saved from the flames, but the entire building at 187 was burned with all of its contents. The loss is estimated at over $15,000. When the fire was at its height a cry came from the top floor, where Mary Jenkins, a feeble woman and blind, was hemmed in on all sides. Her son ran through the blazing halls to the aid of the woman and carried her to the roof where the flames were so hot that they had to be carried to the street by firemen down laddets. The families living in the apartments on either side were driven out by the flames. Great damage was done by the water, forcing them to seek other homes for a short time.

W. Church, pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist church, continues to interest. It has been learned that his resignation will not be accepted. If this is true it is a step in the right direction, and marks a victory for the better element of the race. Mount Olivet Baptist church. Noount Mount Olivet's people are beginning to see their mistake in following in the footsteps of an incompetent deacon, who is leading the forces of opposition to the city, yet what action Dr. Gilbert will take is the matter but it is being rumored that he will probably insist on its acceptance. Dr. Gilbert, as pointed out in our last issue, is one of the strongest divines to-day in the Baptist connection. He is a man of scholarly bearing and attainments. The local branch of the New York Business League has been holding meetings throughout the city in the interest of the business men of the city.

The meetings of the Young Men's Christian Association Sunday afternoons continue to grow in size and interest. The meetings are among the most charming features of the Association's life, and are always scenes of inspiration and cheer. The meeting last Sunday afternoon was one of those roaring meetings that will never be forgotten. The crowd was tremendous and the program good. The devotional exercises consisting of the first part of the program, was scripture reading and singing was good. The usual invitation extended to strangers to say a word in reference to themselves was indulged in Sunday, quite a few strangers being present. The address of the afternoon was delivered by Rev. A. H. Bishop. His subject was "Folks Tendencies Among Colored People." He spoke of the educational of the Negro, referred to the educational process of the Negro in this country. He said it should be the aim of the educated class to serve the race in all capacities. His address was highly received. The chequer team of the Association played the return match with the Central Y. M. C. A. Saturday evening evening, November 16. The result of the score was another trimming for the Manhattan boys.

The life of the Association is very inviting and charming. The speakers for the Sunday afternoon meetings this year have been unusually good. CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH. Girl Receives Fatal Burns Trying to Say Brother's Life. MEMPHIS, Nov. 10.—Leaving her two children alone in the dwelling. Effie Johnson, a respected Negro woman, went to a rummage sale conducted by the Whatsoever circle, of the Kings Daughters. While the woman was looking over a varied assortment of worn garments, happy in the thought that she would soon return to her dwelling with warm clothing for her little ones, a woman entered the door. "That's right. While you are spending your money on that clothing there, your babies have burned to death," said the woman. With a cry of anguish the Johnson woman fell in a faint. Later she went to her home. The scene that met her eyes beggars description. Her two children, Leroy and Jerry, were lying on the floor writhing in agony, each horribly burned. A broken doll in front of the open grate told the nute story. The two babies were hurried to the City hospital in the ambulance, where everything possible was done for them. Without regaining consciousness Jerry died at 6 o'clock, while death claimed the little girl two hours later. While the exact details of the accident will never be known, neighbors contend that little Jerry was playing with a doll in front of an open fire while his little sister was looking at a picture book in an adjoining room. The little boy stepped too close to the open grate and the flimsy clothing was set fire. Hearing the screams of her brother, little Leroy ran to his rescue and in her endeavor to extinguish the flames, her dress caught fire. This sad happening should sound a warning to mothers who are inclined to spend time away from their homes, leaving their children unprotected. Opening of Daily Afro-American Bank in the North of Philadelphia PHILAEMPIA, NOV. 18—The only Afro-American bank in the North came into existence Thursday at 1600 Lombard street; it is called the People's Savings Bank. A great crowd of people lined up awaiting the opening of the doors. The president of the bank is George Henry White, an ex-Congressman from North Carolina, who is also practicing law in this city; he is also an ex-member of the Senate and House of Representatives from that State. He is also a former prosecutor of the Eastern Judicial District of North Carolina, and owner of the town of Whitesboro over in New Jersey. Mr. White said, "We have had a good opening day, our deposits have been fairly large. Ordinary avenues of banking and business being closed to members of the Afro-American race because of racial dislike. I thought that it would be a good plan to start a bank where the Afro-American could deposit his money, instead of spending it. I want to teach the members of my race economy." The officers are, viz. E. W. Moore, first vice-president; J. S. Hall, second vice-president; Valley M. Pearl, treasurer; D. Vallejo, secretary; William J. Trent, cashier; Dr. William A. Sinclair assistant cashier. The directors are: Robert S. Jackson, Rev. G. L. P. Taliafero, Dr. N. F. Mussell, Albert S. Joncs, Chds. H. Pitts, Jasper L. Evans, J. E. Worsham, Daniel Turner, R. T. Jones, Morton Winston, G. Edward Dickerson, W. H. Jackson, Rev. E. W. Johnson and Ishmael A. Holloway. On a warrant from North Carolina Deputy United States Marshal Helms, on Wednesday, arrested J. T. York, of Newberne, N. C. an Afro-American, who had been a lieutenant in the Spanish-American war, on a charge of violating the Internal Revenue laws. York was given a hearing before Commissioner Craig and will be sent back to North Carolina to be tried. In an interview with your correspondent, York claims the charge is the result of a conspiracy which dates back to August, 1903. At that time an Afro-American was lynched in Newberne, for striking a white woman on the head by a knife, well-known character, and York, who was a prominent Baptist, objected to his being buried in their cemetery. As a result the Afro-American undertakers would not accept the body for interment, and the consequences were that a white undertaker had to bury the man, which was considered a disgrace by the white people of the town, so the police of the town have been persecuting York ever since. At the election of officers held at the Citizens' Republican club the following were elected for the ensuing year, viz. Amos, Scott, president; Charles H. Brooks and Jared W. Ford, vice-presidents; William H. Jones, secretary; Jas. A. Howard, treasurer; William H. Gratton, Joseph Bassett, Robert H. Montgomery, William F. Ashe and George F. Venning, board of managers; William B. Morris, Julian A. Talliver, James F. Potter, Frank M. Harris, Charles D. Harrington, board of committees; Edward N. White, chairman of the committee. Gas burning in a closed room consumed the oxygen and, forming another poisonous gas, caused the death of Anna Tose, 15 years old, and Bessie Layton, 22 years old, according to the testimony of Dr. F. B. Rutherford before the coroner yesterday. The Mothers' club of Morton and the Woman's Circle of Swarthmore, both Afro-American, were formed last week at these towns, and are productive of much good by holding mothers' meetings every week with an occasional meeting open to all parents and teachers in the community. Several friends have interested themselves, and the meetings will be held in the Baptist church at Morton. The Woman's Circle at Swarthmore has appointed a committee whose duty it is to look after all young Afro-American women who go there to live and work, it being the most valuable ladies' colleges in America. A cordial invitation will also be extended to these young girls to attend these meetings, where papers (many original) will be read and discussed. The subjects being practical ones, helping them solve some of their every-day problems. Thomas Woolfall, an Afro-American minister, was charged, in Quarter Sessions Court No. 2, last week with making a criminal assault upon Mary Jones, also an Afro-American, aged 14 years. Nearly all the members of the congregation were called to testify to Woodfall's good character. They all said he was a fine man and Mary Jones' reputation was not of the best. The jury, without leaving the bax, acquitted the defendant. J. H. GRAY. TUSKIGEE VS. HOWARD. Howard Wins a Decided Victory Over the Southern Champions. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 18.—The Howard University team football team defeated Tuskegee 18 to 0 on Saturday, November 10. Many visitors gave present eyeing to see a great game but the blue and white swept the Southern champions off their feet, and in three minutes of play scored a touchdown. From thence on the speedy Howard backs pierced the line and skirted the ends at will. Although outweighing their opponents man to man, Tuskegee's back could make no impression upon Howard's defence and lost the ball repeatedly on downs. In the second half the scrub eleven went on the field and although they rushed the crimson and gold to their one yard line, still they failed to score. Civil Service Examination WASHINGTON, November 18. — The Civil Service Commission announces that on December 14, at Lawton, Okla., an examination will be held for the positions of clerk and carrier in the post office service. The above announcement may be of interest to young men of the race in Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Fraternal and Beneficial Societies Handle Large Payments—Oil Mill a Certainty—Ten Banks in Operation in Sphendid Condition MOUND BAYOU, Miss. November 18. While the average business man is very busy at this season of the year, and I am by far no exception to the rule, yet as we approach the end of the year 1907, and in view of the fact that the calamity hower is heard on every hand, it may be well for us to retrospect and see just what material progress, if any, the Negro has made in Mississippi the past twelve months, and if so, what has contributed thereto. On first thought it may appear that we have no more than about held our own so many reports have gone out that this enterprise or that one has been hindered or closed by an unfavorable administration in our State, but when we look carefully into the situation, we find much to verify the assertion that the year just drawing to a close has been a CHAS. BANKS banner one for the race in Mississippi Land purchasing has not abated in the least but on the contrary the desire to own land on the part of the Negro farmer has grown, and many who had them not have purchased, and those having small tracts, in many cases have increased their holdings. The leading fraternal organizations which serve in a large measure the purpose of life insurance companies who discriminate against the Negro, have collected and paid out more money to beneficiaries, and at less expense of collecting, than any year in their history. The Masons and Odd Fellows having paid over a quarter million dollars themselves, to say nothing of the amounts paid by the half dozen or more other organizations in the State. The leading merchants of the State, such as Gilliam of -Okokona, Green Bros. of Holly Springs, -Francis and Stringer, of Mound Bayou, Barland of Natcher, McIntosh of Owolona, are each carrying larger stocks than ever; are easier financially and report increased business for the year. The minor business establishments in operation at the first of the year and those opened since are too numerous to mention. At Meridian there has been organized a bank by some of the wealthiest-colored men in East Mississippi. The movement is led by Dr. E. E. Howard, one of the famous Howard boys known to all Mississippiians as reliable business men. For reasons best known to themselves they have deferred applying for charter until 1905. Of the ten banks already in existence, they pleased to announce that each of them has increased their paid-up capital, profits and deposits during the year, and have now aggregate resources of over a half million dollars. While there have been troublesome times in the banking field recently all of the Negro banks seem to have weathered the storm. At the annual meeting of the State Business, League held in Meridian this year the executive committee, of which Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery is chairman, recommended that a factory for the manufacture of cotton seed oil be fostered, and, in a way, backed by the League, which, by the way, is composed of nearly all the business Negroes of Mississippi. The project was unanimously approved by the body, a committee on ways and means was appointed and so well have they gotten matters under way that it now looks as though an oil mill at Moimid Bayou in 1908 is a certainty. If you should ask why this progress on the part of the Negroes of the Bayou State in the face of all you have heard unfavorable to us in this section, why we are still encouraged and moving upward, I answer that the influence and spirit of the National Negro Business League has permeated every nook and corner of Mississippi, and our people have gone to work after the manner of its teachings in spirit and in truth, "Ceasing to whine and complain," to use the words of Dr. Washington, and the pessimist has been supplanted by a thrift, industrious people who have faith in themselves and hope in the future. CHAS. BANKS. Citizen, November 18. It is quite a long time before the coming conventions will nominate all kinds of city, county, State and Federal officers for the people to vote for against next year, but the politician and those who think they are politicians, are maneuvering just the same, and doing all kinds of things to remind us of coming events. The Afro-Americans are not less busy than those who are higher up and therefore more important. There are three prizes to be fought for by colored aspirants, to wit: County Commissioner, State Legislator and municipal judge. These are elective offices, but in addition to these there is a long list of plums, more or less appetizing. The possible men amongst us for these places are already in sight, but no one dares to "pick the winner." It is not difficult, however, to point out the aspiring and hopeful ones. There is an affinity, a cordiality and a willingness to do and to be done for; that are plainly pre-election in kind and fervor. On the other hand it is a good time to learn about the shortcomings of the would-be successful candidate. The men who are eager to claim these honors are all right until they begin to learn the office. The officers learn that they have lived as if there were no "ten commandments" or "golden rule" in human relationships. The virtues and vices of men then become badly intermixed in these pre-election contests. What a terrible thing it would be for us of the gentle sex, were it possible for us to enter into the joys and sorrows of these pre-convention anxieties! Yet we are all so thoroughly human, that the evils we now see and complain of would be overlooked or condoned, if we were a part of it. It is, however, due to Illinois to say that there is much worthy material of solid manhood among the colored men who are both willing and competent to serve the commonwealth. Indeed I think it quite safe to say that there is no colored man at this time struggling for the best phrases in which to decline any honors that may be thrust upon them. Rev. Wm. C. Gannett, the eminent Unitarian minister of Rochester, N. Y., did not a notable sermon before a great audition last week in the bishop Lincoln Center. In the course of his address he paid a glowing tribute to the late Frederick Douglass. Mr. Douglass' favorite aphorism, "One with God is a majority," was quoted by Mr. Gannett with telling effect in this splendid sermon. Our people in Chicago were more profoundly anxious durie the present week by the news of the sudden prostration of Rev. Moses H. Jackson, for twenty years pastor of Grace Presbyterian church and also the builder and founder thereof. The character of his illness was such as to render the whole community apprehensive as to his recovery. Mr. Jackson is one of the striking figures in the pulpits of Chicago. He is the only colored minister who has a well-established Presbyterian church in the West, and his high personal character has made him one of the most esteemed citizens of this great city. His influence has been one of the real moral assets in the social and religious life of the Afro-American people. Dr. Jackson is a graduate of Dr. Jackson's Dr. Jackson he also taught. He is a close friend of Dr. Francis Grimke of Washington, D.C., and at one time delivered a notable course of lectures to the divinity students of Tuskegee. I am pleased to add that a later report of a successful operation is given out, as an assurance that Dr. Jackson's ultimate recovery will be only a matter of time. The Alumni of Fiske university located in Chicago have a fully organized association composed of graduates of that famous college. It is the only organization of college colored men and women in this city. It is perhaps due to the fact that no other college in the country has such a large number of graduates who walk of life, as Fiske. This has all been the result of many years and it is thoroughly wide awake in behalf of everything relating to its "alma mater." This organization does all it can to encourage and assist aspiring young men and women who are college bent to get to Fiske. The members keep in close touch with each other for the purpose of helping themselves and also for popularizing and giving financial aid to their "alma mater." No Fiske graduate of any distinction is permitted to come to Chicago without being well honored and entertained by these students, obliged to present a student, Dr. Merrell, is always sure of a generous welcome and reception from his loyal students whenever he comes to Chicago. Speaking of college graduates one is constantly surprised in casualty looking over the list of prominent men and women here to discover what a large number of college graduates there are among them. The colleges represented in this list include Ann Arbor, Williams College, northwestern University, Talcott, Chicago, Illinois, and the university of Pennsylvania, Howard, Atlanta, Bartmouth, Wilberforce, La Moin, Tuskegee Straight' of New Orleans, Morris Brown, Oberlin, and many others more or less known. These college men and women are generally people of influence in this community, and that influence is without exception good. Dr. Washington's Traveling Secretary French Aveyx TUSKERGIRL INSTITUTE, Ala., Nov. 12. The death of Mr. Julius R. Cox., Dr. Booker T. Washington's faithful and efficient Traveling Secretary for the past three years, occurred here last Saturday from an operation for appendicitis performed the preceding Monday. The funeral was held in the Chapel last Sunday afternoon, interment being made in the Institute cemetery. ROOSEVELT URGES RACE 1 MAKE GREATER EFFO President Advises the Medical Graduates to Live and Directly Among Their Own People, Not in the Cities—Amended Bryce to Those Who Doubt the Future. WASHINGTON, November 15.—President Roosevelt, James Bryce, the British Ambassador, and Andrew Carnegie delivered addresses reflecting pronounced optimism as to the future of the Negro race in Andrew Ranken chapel here today. The occasion was the installation of the Rev. Wilbur Patterson Tarkield as president of Howard University, and the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the founding of that institution, which is devoted primarily to the higher education of the Negro. President Roosevelt admitted the hardships encountered by the Negro in his efforts toward advancement, but urged that they be looked upon rather as a privilege and as stimulating effort, for which the reward would be equally great. Mr. Bryce pointed to the development of the race during the last forty years as being marvelous compared with the development of the race to Saxon race. It was for Mr. Carnegie to awaken unrestrained enthusiasm by his declaration that it was not now the question, "What shall we do with the Negro?" but "How can we get more of them?" Mr. Carnegie completed his triumph of popularity by showing finally that the race in America had acquired title to estates during the last forty years larger than Belgium and Holland combined. spectable influence in raising the rank of citizenship of all the citizens of the locally in which he sided. I do not know a more bit of home missionary work being done in this way. Regarding the Negro race as a war in Old World and the New bassard, Bryce said, "There is doubt a vast deal to be done, and hears many voices complaining and in the West Indies progress together too slow. An encounter to these complaints, he could be found in the statistics of press compiled by Mr. Andrew Carne and outlined in an interesting delivered recently at Edinburgh. Mr. Bryce continued, "any one who despondent about the future of may be advised to reflect again upon the history of the race mankind. "Two thousand years ago the ance of the Englishmen and Dutchmen Irishmen and Germans who now here were wild tribesmen living in woods without cities, and seeming low in the scale of creation that Greeks, who had advanced much talked of the barbarians as being by name and only fit to serve a city like like. And had these ancestors of one thousand years to rise from the savage primeval man to that barbarian which the Greeks despised and the would be persecuted. President Roosevelt said in part: President Ruhman said in part: "Judge Barnard, ladies and gentlemen, and especially you, graduates and undergraduates of this institution of learning, the President, commemorates the fortieth anniversary of the founding of this institution. During these forty years, practically during the time, that has elapsed since the emancipation proclamation, the colored citizens of the United States have accumulated property until now they have, all told, some $250,000 worth of taxable property in this country. During the same forty years they have been making for themselves homes, until now there are 500,000 homes owned and occupied by the colored citizens of our country. "Few have more difficulties to face than those who graduate from this institution. You, graduates, know how much of hardship you have had to encounter, how much you have had to draw upon all of the courage and faith and resolution and good temper that you had in you. The undergraduates will learn the same lesson. I trust that each one of you here will realize the peculiar burden of responsibility that rests upon him, not only as an educated American citizen but as an educated member of a race that is struggling upward toward higher and better things. You bear a great burden of responsibility upon your shoulders, men and women who come from this institution. I trust you will realize it, and that help will be given you from on high to bear it well and thoroughly. You will be given from any college in the United States who have a heavier load of responsibility than you bear, and after all there is no greater privilege given to any man than to have such a load to carry, if only he carries it well. There is every reason why you should realize the weight of the burden; there is every reason why you should carry it buoyantly and bravely. "You turn out men and women into many different professions. Of course, a peculiar importance attaches to those who in after life go into the ministry. A minister needs to remember, what each one of us here needs to remember, but he needs to remember it more than any one else—the truth of the Biblical saying that "By your fruits shall men know you." A minister needs to feel that it incumbent upon him not mere preach to high and yet a same morality to high and yet a same heart out his preaching in every minute detail. His position is one of peculiar leadership, and, therefore, a peculiar weight of obligation attaches to it. "I have also taken a peculiar interest because of having seen the effects of their work close at hand. In the graduates in medicine of this university, I believe you have, all told, graduated something like a thousand men in medicine, and I happen to know that a peculiar need of achievement has come to those men. I think that the average of accomplishment has been peculiarly high among the graduates in medicine of this institution. I earnestly hope that the average graduate of your medical department will not stay around Washington; that he won't try to get into some place where he won't even go to some other large city. He will go and dwell among his fellow men of color in their own homes and be to them not only a healer of their bodies, but a center for raising them in every part of their lives. I have been struck in traveling through the South to find how many colored doctors have gone into other business as well. "Very naturally, frequently you will find that they own drug stores, and I was struck by what very nice drug stores, and how prosperous many of them have, and how wealthy the esteem which they were held, as by all of their neighbors, and by the evident fact that each such colored doctor who did his work well exercised a very re- spectable influence in raising the sard of citizenship of all the citizens of the locally in which he sided. I do not know a more bit of home missionary work the being done in this way. Regarding the Negro race, as a in the Old World and the New, bassador Bryce said: "There is doubt a vast deal to be done, and hears many voices complaining and in the West Indies progress together too slow. An encounter to these complaints, he could be found in the statistics of resisted compiled by Mr. Andrew Car and outlined in an interesting and delivered recently at Edinburgh. Mr. Bryce continued, "any one wendependent about the future of the may be advised to reflect again again upon the history of the race mankind. "Two thousand years ago the ancestor of the Englishmen and Dutchmen Irishmen and Germans who now here were wild tribesmen living in woods without cities, and seeming low in the scale of creation that beekeepers advanced much falkened of the barbarous nature by nature and only fit to serve a race like themselves. And it had these ancestors of ours thousand years to rise from the savage st primeval man to that barbarous which the Greeks despised and the would be perpetual." The Ambassador predicted that progress of the Negro race was greatly accelerated by the influx rapid development of civilization cically contemplating the tendency or race to rise, as borne out by its since the emancipation proclamation Dr. Thirkield devoted his remar the places and mission held by the diversity in developing the aims and of modern education in the life Negro race. He advocated an opinion that could be translated into that would develop men, wise, scientious and fearless. His doct that every man had a right to of opportunity. He said in part: "The needs and claims of the for such an education as will drive the entire man to his best, is grow his humanity. The demands of sociology are for a social coefi- that shall be characterized by fold conviction of essential men, of the mutual influence of the value and sacredness of son. This means that all men be sons of God and brothers fellow-men; that no race is left witness of the divine in men moral capacity; the mean are so up together that education must all; and that the personality of man is sacred. "Democracy bears living witness capacity of the downpest man, are in American history number amples of the fact that the comm has stored up in him uncommon for highest life and service of man coln. Grant Douglass are only on our examples. "Howard University stands for this: It simply opens to any man race the chance to unfold the be divinest that is in him, so far as educational opportunity is a help to end. "While we make strong plea for higher education, we believe with kind King, in his great inaugural 'nothing justifies the extraordinal phase on the intellectual as the aim of education.' The end in education is not simply smartness, but charmal virility, goodness, usefulness there be scholarship, high and unifor Let the doors to widest knowled thrown open to every man; but shall be scholarship not for its own or for the sake of mere personal but scholarship held, in trust for sake of the human race and for quickening and uplifting of nation.

Mammouth Mass Meeting at Old South Church a Tribute of Gratitude Extended to Memory of Elijah P. Lovejoy. Boston, Nov. 16.—Actuated by a desire to pay their tribute of gratitude and reverence to the sacred memory of Elijah P. Lovejoy, abolitionist newspaper owner and publisher, who became the first martyr of that cause, when mobbed to death at Alton, Illinois, and actuated further by their desire to hear William Lloyd Garrison, worthy scion of the great emancipator, more than a thousand Negroes assembled Thursday night, November 7, in Fanuell Hall, Boston's old "Cradle of Liberty." The names of Lovejoy and Garrison whenever mentioned were applauded to the echo and the battle hymn of the Republic led by Madam Nellie Brown Mitchell, Boston's well-known soprano, was sung with a spirit and spontaneity that reflected the anti-slavery heritage and feelings of former days. The unfair unfair criticisms of Booker T. Washington and his doctrine by several of the speakers fell for the most part on stony and unresponsive cars. This, to my mind, testifies beautifully to the growing conservatism and discretion of our colored populace. The principal features of the mass meeting were the address by William Lloyd Garrison and the adoption of the bill, drawn up by the Hon. Albert E Pillbury, ex-attorney general of the State of Massachusetts and descendant of the Pillbury abolitionist family. This bill provides against racial discrimination on common carriers between the States and Territories of the United States and the African-American companies and their agents, permitting or performing the discrimination, liable by prison or fine penalties, and it was voted to have this bill entered in Congress this winter. Mr. Garrison made a characteristic Garrison speech, radical, uncompromising, forceful and pointed. Booker T. Washington has been welcomed back to Boston. Yet the great Uksgeegee has been welcomed here before and in no uncertain or unfeeling manner on each occasion, but never before, it is sate to say, has he or any other Uksgeegee been welcomed in general and generous a welcome. Boston, both by word and deed, has shown and will continue to show her appreciation of his presence and his efforts. From now till his final address on this visit, before the great Merchants' Club, of Boston, on the seventeenth of December, there will be one continual round of meetings, conferences and functions to attest the esteem and the interest of Uksgeegee in his ministry, labors. Already the daily press, including such great and conservative organs as the Transcript, Herald and Journal have treated editorially his mission to New England. The Boston Journal, in an editorial of November 16, 2005: "The success of such work as Uksgeegee is doing, means a great deal for the Negro, socially and morally, and it is safe to conclude that the school have more friends in Boston than in any other city in this part of the country." In a leading Herald editorial of the same day we read under the heading, "Booker Washington's Appeal": "To morning evening, in the New Old South church, Booker Washington and friends of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, will speak of the life of Booker Washington, who deserves help Mr. Helton Gudgath, of Birmingham, Ala., one of the most in financial men in the South, a large employer of Negro labor and a trustee of the institute, representing the progressive white citizens of the State who are standing back of Mr. Washington and its methods of dealing with the race problem, will also address the meeting at a meeting to his President Elmo and President Ressveld as the three most individual and commanding persons whom he met," etc. but heralded and complimented to be the daily press, that evidence which has been most concrete and signement of his high place and hold in the community was the mammoth press meeting held Last Sunday night in the Old South church, the embodiment almost to a by word of the brains and Sine blood of Puritan Boston, great and great. He three to five and literally packed to the doors hundreds, and perhaps thousands more were turned away. The preliminary addresses by Miss Amelia Brown of Mr. Muggs Institute, Mahonia, and the white Southern capitalist, Mr. Belton Gilreath, from their opposite points of view, made two of the most restoring and hope-in-pring addresses in behalf of the Negro's future and Tuskegee.

C., Nov. 15.—The higher education of the American Negro has received a decided impetus by and through the inspiring exercises of to-day and yesterday, which marked the forty-th anniversary of historic Howard University and the formal installation of Rev. Wilbur. Patterson Thirkield. D. D. LL. D., as president' of that institution. The history of Howard University runs in parallel lines with the history of the Negro in this country under the banner of freedom. The school was founded by General Oliver O. Howard, and was opened April 12, 1867, in consonance with an act of Congress, approved by President Andrew Johnson, to provide an opportunity for the greatly-neglected higher education of the race that had been emancipated from slavery in the District of Columbia just five years before. Instruction was commenced in a small building on old Pomeroy street, formerly used as a saloon and Dance house, but are long the students were housed in a commodoious structure on its present commanding hill, and its development has been so steady and distant that the United States Government and many philanthropic friends, that after forty years of struggle and triumph, it stands, as it has stood from the beginning, the foremost institution on the congion devolved to the training of the intellectual, professional and spiritual leaders for the Negro people. However University has had, up to this time, thirteen presidents and acting presidents, and during three of its four decades its affairs have been administered by two of the best friends the race has ever had—Presidents W. W. Patton and Jeremiah McCormick, installed until yesterday. President Thirfield took hold of the work a year ago with a firm grasp, and his advent at a critical stage in the life of the university was hailed as the dawn of a new era of prosperity and good feeling. The new president has had a long and honorable experience in dealing with the peculiar problems that hodge about the educational and economic consequences of the coloured people, North and South, and the high expectations aroused by his coming have been more than realized. Never before has the outlook for a "Greater Howard" been so replete with golden promise; never before has there been a more universal recognition of the necessity for the cultural strength that must guide and conserve the university itself. Thirfield, therefore, begins his administration under circumstances of the most auspicious character. "I inauguration Day" was the pivotal upon which the anniversary season turned. All roads led to Howard Hill and by 2 p.m. the main building, campus and every available inch of space were thronged with the beauty, intellect and fashion of the Nation's Capital supplemented by many distinguished visitors from abroad, including the alumnus of Howard, fratral delegates from sister institutions, and friend and colleague educational impulses of the Negro. The day was ideal. Long before the time announced for the beginning of the exercises, the picturesque campus of Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel was crowded. A more brilliant audience never filled that beautiful edifice. A sight long to be remembered was the impressive procession of men distinguished in scholarship, science, the various professions and the affairs of the world, which marched from the president's office to the chapel. The red-green and purple hues of the honorary college degrees flashed in the sunlight, and cappes and gowns and churchely robes formed a galaxy of rich colors, which aptly emphasized the importance of the occasion. The arrival of President Reeseveld, who was expected, was the signal for tumultuous applause in which hearty welcome Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who came wholly unexpected, shared most liberally. The anniversary and mansuration took on a national, if not international, aspect. On the stage, in addition to the President of the United States and the beloved "Land of Skioo Castle," were the Hon James Bryce, the British ambassador; Rt. Rev Henry Yates Ambassador, bishop of Washington; Hon James R. Garnield, Secretary of the Interior; Dr Elmer F. Brown, United States commissioner of Education; Dr W. Brian Ingham, American Bible Society, District Commissioner Henry R. E. Macfarland, Judge Stanton J. Peale, S N D. North Director of the Census; Dr. J. W. E. Brown, president of Gunnion Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga; Mr Warren Logan, treasurer of Tinker Institute; John F. Cook, Rev F. J. Grimke, Dr W. D. Cumm, Collector of Customs, Charleston, S C., and others of like promphence "Justice Job Barnard, president of Howard University's Board of Trustees, presided and introduced the speakers in well chosen remarks. A more notable gathering, representing so many powerful interests in the life of the nation, has never ascertained in the time of Columbia, on such an occasion, and the zeal thus manifested in the education of the North, by their presence and unequivocal utterances, marks an epoch in the history of the race as well as a distinct triumph for Howard University. The alumni played a conspicuous part in the celebration of the fortnight anniversary of their Alma Mater. Fully 400 graduates from the medical, theological, law, college, pharmaceutical, normal trained nurse and other departments of the university were in attendance, and they displayed an enthusiasm that was sincere and spontaneous. The ceremonies incidental to the inauguration of President Thirkield began Thursday evening in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, under the auspices of the alumni of which Pre K-12 was the president and instructor in mathematics is president. He is also acting head of the College Department. On this occasion Chief Justice Stanton J. Peallle, of the Court of Claims, presided, and Dr. Walter H. Brooks delivered the invocation, after which Dr. Amory H. Bradford, president of the American Missionary Society and pastor of the Montclair Congregational church, delivered a stirring address on "The Coming Unity of the World," in which he bespoke an ultimate obliteration of all lines based upon color, caste and injustice. President John Hope, of the Attainte Baptist College described "The Advantages of the Higher Education of the Negro," and Dr. E. W. Williams, of the Williams-Ferguson Normal and Industrial School at Abbeville, S. C., pronounced the benediction. Friday morning at 9:30 o'clock the alumni reunion, was held in the chapel, and the session was replete with pleasurable incidents. Prof. Kelly Miller presided, and his opening remarks set the pace for an occasion of felicitation and rejoicing. Dr. I. L. Thomas, of Baltimore, class '88, offered prayer, after which the report of the Committee on the University address was delivered in a happy vein by Dr. W. D. Crum, '80, of Charleston, S. C., and a second notable speech was made by Mr. William E. Benson, who has established one of the best agricultural and industrial schools in the South at Kowaliga. Ala. He is a graduate of the class of '03. Remarks abounding in rare wit and humor were made by Mrs. Rosa K. Jones, '70, of Richmond, Va.; Dr. W. A. Sinclair, '81, of Philadelphia; Prof. W. R. Richards, '81, of Washington; Dr. W. H. Welch, '81, of New York. D. C. a word was heard from the oldest alumnus, Miss Ellen L. Fisher, '70 and Dr. G. J. Shad, Jr., '70 and Robert K. Kerrwether, '07 (facetiously termed "the grandchildren of the University"), and E. P. Davis spoke for the youngest alumni. Several taking two-minute speeches from the floor were delivered by visiting alumni, including Dr. T. C. Unthank, a successful practitioner at Kansas City, Mo., and Mr. Thomas J. Callows, executive of the Jamaican Exposition. The songs, "The Banner of Howard," by Kelly Miller; "Alma Mater," by Dr. J. E. Rankin, and "Bobly" Baring, immortal, "Auld Lang Syne," the latter with joined hands, were sung with the enthusiasm and gusto engendered by the true college spirit. A toothsome luncheon at 12:45 closed this feature of the exercises. Mr. J. C. Napier, a Cosperous attorney and banker of Nashville, Tennessee, a graduate of the law department of, 72, made an earnest and eloquent pla for the educated Negro to assist in the work of building up, in the work of building up, the habit of the Negro people must abide and work out their destiny and where intelligent helpers are most needed. "For the growth of industries and of cities," said Mr. Napier, "the Negroes of the South have in the past furnished the brawn and others the brains. When we can furnish the brains, as well as the brawn, we will reap the benefits that now go to others. We develop these brawns. To develop these established." He did not approve of the practice of many Negroes who had gone North just after the war to escape the hurdles of the South, holding that the race cannot be built up as it should be if our best talent trees from its responsibilities. "There is more need for cool heads, for cultured intellects among the Negroes of the South than ever before. One can do more by a year of training the South than by a lifetime of theorizing a hundred or a thousand miles away." Mr. Napier's philosophical utterances were frequently applauded. A herediation by Rev. Roland Cotton Smith closed a season of unrivalled brilliance for Howard University. Ten millions of colored Americans rejoice with President Thirkield and the nation that there is at Washington such a center of light and leading, radiating light and breadth of our own land and extending its illuminating rays into the islands of the sea. PORTSMOUTH BANK CLOSES. PORTSMOUTH, Va., November 18. Portsmouth is highly pleased with the result of the $11,000 campaign conducted by the local Y. M. C. A. for a building fund. While the management expected to raise that amount they were agreeably surprised to secure the magnificent sum of $12,000, and by the time the first installments of the subscriptions are due it is hoped that the whole amount will be $15,400. Messrs. W. F. McGlone and M. H. Jackson, of the Southern Aid Society, spent Saturday in Newport News in the interest of the company. The death of Mr. Abraham Perry, which occurred Tuesday, was quite a shock to his many friends. For a long time Mr. Perry was engaged in the care business and was compelled to give it up on account of ill health. The services were conducted from the establishment of Ross & Hall, funeral directors, another of the firm's most prominent burialed upon business career. Mr. Fred Builey has opened a well-stocked butcher shop, and it is a safe prediction that he will succeed. Fine Fruit from Dominica. The E. R. Brackett Co. were in, receipt this week of a large shipment of grape fruit and oranges via S. N. Guiana from Dominica. This fruit was sent forward by Anthony Crawford, president of the Co., who is now in Dominica, his mission being to foster the Dominica orange and grape fruit business, which he thinks has a fine opportunity in this market. The fruit being grown in Dominica will come along from now on and those interested in the experiment are fully confident that it will prove a success. Gentlemen: Payment to an agreement made with you in March, 2001, I prepared to Acorn, Gold Coast, West Africa, and made an examination of your GOLD MINER, BOLIVIA, COCOA and COTTON CONCESSIONS located at Ahmea, Nankwar and Pompey, Africa. I beg leave to report as follows : I found PLACER GOLD upon your properties which upon examination produced from any dollar to sixteen dollars per tubic yard. I also found a Gold vein of about 4 ft. wide at depth of 6 ft. from surface. I am glad to me that the Gold Mining Proposition in my opinion will be a profitable one to all persons concerned in the working of these mines. I found wild COTTON with a fibre superior in tenacity and is length to that of the cultivated Cotton of the States. RUBBER abounds in abundance on your properties and can be cultivated to great advantage to the Syndicate sugarmasters financially. 225 Cocoa trees can be planted on an acre of ground, it requires from two to three years for a tree to produce Cotton Bunns and a Cocoa tree produces from $3.00 to $6.00 worth of liana per Ammun. 300 and more Rubber trees can be planted and cultivated with great profit upon an acre of ground and each Rubber tree in about five or six years will produce from one to two pounds of Rubber per Ammun a the value of more than $2.00. It will cost from $40.00 to $20.00 per acre to clear the land for the planting of Rubber, Cocoa and Cotton. More than 2,500,000 trees can be planted upon your properties with acreage to spare for other purposes. The RUBBER and COCOA at the average of $3.00 per tree for the two would produce more than $4,400,000 per Ammun for generations and an equally paying business can be developed in the cultivation of Cotton. M. advice is that you commence at once the cultivation of the products and the working of the mines as you will secure from the latter in my opinion in a short time enough gold to more than pay for the necessary expense which will be incurred in the commencement of this great work. With my best wishes for your success, I have the honor to remain. Yours sincerely, WM. H. SMEATON The Engineer and three or four Syndicate Members will return to the properties in November, 1907.

Accepts all letters and make all checks and many orders payable to The New York Age Publishing Company. Ownership of the Age If it is not the policy of this paper to take space which belongs to the readers in discussing its personal affairs. The majority of the readers of any newspaper do not care what individuals own the paper. What they are interested in is the news and the editorial opinion. This is what they pay for. If the newspaper furnishes the kind of news they are interested in, they are willing to pay for the paper and that ends it. For example, no one reader in a thousand knows what individual or individuals own The New York Times, The New York Sun, The Chicago Record-Herald or The Boston Herald. They do not stop to inquire, for they do not care. We wish to state, however, once for all, that we shall not enter into such personal discussion in the future, that it is not true, as one or two Afro-American papers have industriously stated, that Dr. Booker T. Washington owns The New York Ace, or any part of it. He does not own it and he does not control it. The New York Age Publishing Company is a stock concern and the majority of its stock is owned and controlled by the President and the Secretary and Treasurer of the company. No man who is before the public, as is Dr. Washington, should own or control newspaper property, for the reason that such ownership or control would carry with it influence as regards the editorial opinion of the newspaper, and this we heard from many sources is Dr. Washington's opinion. We would presume, however, that Dr. Washington has the same right as any other individual to invest his money in any kind of property that he possess, but as we have stated, he does not on a single share of any stock in this publication. This statement is not made with the idea, however, that it will stop the false assertions, because we have noted, within the past two years, Dr. Washington has been represented as owning practically every Afro-American newspaper in the country, including such papers as The Indianapolis Freeman, The Washington Bee and many others. The publishers of these papers know how much truth is in these statements, so far as they are concerned, and they will be able to judge as to the value of the statement which has been made regarding his ownership of THE AGE. Dr. Washington is wiser enough to understand the weakness of any public man's position, who buys a newspaper, or is supposed to control a newspaper. He is too wise, we think, to enter upon any policy that would confine his influence to any single publication. It would be suicidal. It is a well-known fact that Mr. Fortune has sought for a number of years to dispose of his interest in Turt New York Act for the reason, as stated by him, that he wished to take up other lines of literary work more in keeping with the tastes of his maturer years. When he found a satisfactory purchaser, he received his price and the bargain was closed, and the most friendly and kindly relations exist between Mr. Fortune and the present ownership of the paper. A City of Opportunities Washington, D. C., with her 97,000 colored population presents the best possible opportunity for demonstrating the possibilities of the race, along commercial lines, of any city in the country, by reason of so many of the best type and best educated of the race assembled there in the employ of the government; by reason of the fact that she has over 500 school teachers, as a whole inferior to none, there are more well educated colored people in Washington than in any other one city in the country. In Washington there is, sad to admit, and as a legacy of slavery, more illiteracy than we as a people should care to acknowledge, but the effect of this illiteracy is neutralized by the exceptionally large per cent. of well-educated men and women of the race residing there. Here are a few things Washington should have and could have with proper use unity and action: A bank with at least $9,000 and the capital and deposits amounting to a million and a half dollars. A shoe factory with a capacity of at least 1,000 pair shoes for every working day in the year, employing at least 280 hands. At least five exclusive dry goods and ladies' furnishing stores, carrying a stock that will involve from $5,000 to $10,000 each, being one store for every 24,350 possible consumers of commodities carried by such stores. At least 50 groceries, one for every 1,940 possible patrons. At least ten exclusive shoe stores, one for every possible 9,500 shoe wearers. At least 30 blacksmith shops. At least 25 drug stores, one for every 3,800 possible patrons. Ten gent's furnishing stores, one for every possible 1,940 male patrons. for every possible 8,200 local subscribers. Washington has 25,000 breadwinners who expend on an average $1 per day just for necessities of life. Thaf means $2,500 per day, or nine million dollars per annum for necessities alone. And this is a conservative estimate. Where does all this money go? Why...into the coffers of merchants who do not 'eater to, or judging from the treatment of Negro patrons, are not particularly anxious for this trade. If but one-tenth of this was diverted into the hands of Negro merchants, what a boost it would mean to Negro business men, and for the race as a whole! A capital of $200,000 would supply all these industries. Certainly a people, the salaries of whose breadwinners aggregate $50,000 per day, ought to be able to furnish $200,000 capital. The Work of the Committee for Improving the Industrial Condition of Negroes in New York We wonder if many of the citizens of Greater New York realize how much good the above named committee is accomplishing under the leadership of Mr. William Jay Schieffelin, Dr. William Lewis Bulkley, Mr. Charles W. Anderson, Mr. Samuel R. Scottron, secretary and executive head, and many others. On the various committees connected with this organization are many of the strongest and best white and black citizens in the city. Their greatest victory so far has been won in securing recognition for Afro-American skilled workmen. Their work ought to be generously and constantly supported. Those who wish to contribute toward the expense of this committee should direct their correspondence to Mr. Samuel R. Scottron, 39 East 42d street, New York city. President Staude Pat The silence the President maintains in the matter of a second term is confusing to the politicians as well as to the leaders. Statements that the President will shortly repeat his declaration of three years ago that under no circumstances will he again be a candidate for or accept another nomination for the Presidency are not in accord with the facts, it is said, as they come out of the White House. The positive statement can be made on minipeachable authority, so it has been announced, that the President will not again repeat his utterances on that memorable election night of 1904, when he called the newspaper fraternity of Washington to his office and dictated the statement that has now become historic. The President seems absolutely fixed in his determination that he will stand upon that declaration and not renew it. He sees no occasion to do so. A renewal of his assessee would furnish the greatest comfort to his political enemies, while as matters now stand his opponents in his own party are confounded and up in the air. Unquestionably the third term, or rather, to be more exact the second term room is growing, and has become so bold as to challenge the Hughes sentiment here in New York. Each day, senators and representatives are calling at the White House to assure the President that he must run again; that the country demands it, and leaders from every section are doing likewise, but to all he remains an uninterpretable sphinx. Some of the President's closets friends, those who want to see him nominated for another term, believe the people will not take his statement of three years so seriously. Even so astute a politician as Senator Platt has come out in an interview and declares that the President will dominate the next national convention, though the Senator does not believe the President will accept another nomination, being inclined to the belief that some one other than the President will be nominated. And the Senator declares with positiveness that the nominee will be the President's choice. The hold President Roosevelt has upon the country is marvelous. The Temperance Sentiment The growth of the temperance sentiment in this country is something remarkable, and at the rate it is increasing we are compelled to stop and ask the question-will the United States become a prohibition country? In 1900 the temperance people polled only 208,000 votes. In 1904, out of 13- protection. Not many people know that one of this kind, as in the prohibition upon dry. It will disproportionate. There are only eight and States in the United States. Two States are absolutely production; all the others have local option laws, and more than half of this territory is dry. In 1870 there were but 3,600,000 people living in dry territory, but to day there are more than 33,000,000. In 1870 nine per cent. of the people of the United States were affected by prohibition laws. To-day more than forty per cent. are directly affected by prohibition laws, having chosen these laws for themselves. At the election held this month the larger portion of Delaware voted to prohibit the sale of liquor. In Illinois, 131 out of 137 districts voted against licensing saloons, meaning that 50,000 square miles of Illinois has gone over to the prohibitionists. In Kentucky, New Jersey and Mississippi the people went on record as being in favor of increasing the prohibition sentiment, and Alabama is right on the verge of State prohibition. Now what is coming is more than the wisest progmostigator can foretell. But whatever all this may portend for the future, it means that there has come a wonderful quickening of the public conscience. A good many of us remember the Good Templars. There was nothing that stirred us more inconsequently than a performance, by amateurs of the village, of "Ten Nights in a Bar-room." Very few of us, however, dreamed that a time would come when town after town and county after county and State after State would march with quiet faces up to the ballot boxes and vote for prohibition. And that only shows how little we knew about the great, throbbing human heart of a people who have been growing all these years in wisdom and thoughtfulness and independence. And looking at this spread of prohibition from a race standpoint, we are moved to ask, will it not portend great blessings' for the race? Heldion and Longevity Is religion conducive to longevity, is a question that involuntarily protrudes itself for consideration. We talk of the various habits as to food and exercise, and cheerfulness, as the conditions that prolong life. There are a score of roads leading to the fountains of perpetual youth, if we consult the many theories upon which longevity is reckoned. But one of the latest, and probably the best of these theories is active religious experience—carrying Christian duty among men all the time. It is noted in this connection that Bishop Turner is still preaching with his old time vigor, although he is past eighty. Bishop Grant, although he has reached the three score and ten mark is as vigorous as a man of forty, and that brain of his far more active. General Booth, whose age is seventy-nine, is on a journey around the world, preaching every day. Robert Collyer, with a record of eighty four winters and summers to his credit, is still preaching as brilliant and as instructive sermons, and possibly more so, as he did forty years ago. There are many other instances of this kind, that only go to show that religion is healthy, if kept at work. If some one should object and say, it is the out-door, pure air, active life that promotes longevity, it could be easily answered that, also, religion. But there can be no question as to the advantage of a religious life over the irreligious life, when it comes to conditions of health. There is harmony with the former and discord with the latter. The very love of men is healthful, and if this is backed by simple food and good air, men will live a long time, as Bishop Turner, Bishop Grant, General Booth and Robert Collyer are living. But a man cannot be religious and be constantly subjecting himself to the conditions of disease that he might avoid. Religion is not a popular error. It is a great truth of instinct. Nothing is falser than the dream of certain persons who think to conceive a perfect humanity without religion. --- Mr. Cobb's Appointment The appointment, last week, of Mr. James A. Cobb, a young colored attorney of Washington, D.C., to be assistant district attorney for the District of Columbia, constitutes one more assurance that President Roosevelt is one of the best friends the race ever had to sit in the presidential chair. This is the first instance of a colored man being appointed to such a position in the District and it took high moral courage to make the appointment. It opens up a new place for the race, and, because of this, and because it is a most important place in the judicial service, the race everywhere should be grateful to the President for this recognition. Mr. Cobb is a splendid type of a man. A close student of law, an undefatigable worker, earnest at all times in his devotion to the interests of his race, and a young man of unblemished character. This position, which carries a salary of $2,000 per annum, with bright promise of promotion, makes the second geocognition, by President Roosevelt, of colorate attorneys in Washington, Judge Robert H. Terrell, now serving as one of the district's magistrates, being the first. And by the way, Judge Terrell is Color Prohibition in Boston An able and interesting editorial in Alexander's Magazine complains about the increase of American prejudice in the city of Boston. We are not surprised that this editorial indicates a great increase in that city. It would hardly be possible for an insane and unreasonable agitation on the race question to be carried on continuously for six years, without the result being an increase in prejudice. Of all the cities in the country, Boston is the one where such agitation was not needed and the more such agitation is kept up along the lines heretofore pursued, the greater will be the increase in prejudice. The Lily White Republicans of the North Agiai There is a group of white Republicans in the South known as Lily White Republicans, to whom we referred a few weeks ago, who are working hand in glove with the Democrats of that section. The object of these people is, in plain words, to form two Democratic parties in the South, one party to control the State offices and the other wing to control the national offices. Every Afro-American should see to it by his vote that he lets no opportunity go by to rebuke Lily Whiteism in any part of the country, especially in the Southern States. Any white man who cannot belong to the same party and attend the same conventions with Afro-Americans is not a Republican. We note that in a recent interview in a paper published in New Orleans, Mr. E. B. Williams, the chairman of the Lily White Republican party in Louisiana, stated that within a few months no Afro-American would belong to the Republican State Committee. Mr. Williams, according to this statement, is not a Republican, he is a Democrat, and has no business to be recognized in any State or national organization as a Republican if the statement made by this local paper is true. The delegates who come to the next national convention should be thoroughly informed as to the harm that any recognition of Lily White Republicans in the South will result in. Industrial Education Professor, Hanus, of Harvard, delivered an address last week before the Central Ohio Teachers' Association, which it is said made a very deep impression. Professor Hanus argued in favor of industrial training—something different and further forward than manual training. He treated the subject from an economic as well as an educational standpoint, and made the development of the powers of the boy for work, as the very best development of his moral and intellectual qualities. The idea is this: Take a boy of 14, put him to work under an instructor to learn how to make his living, and at the same time creating in him a love for the work, which naturally follows an intelligent comprehension of the principles involved in the work and the possibilities there are in it. This sort of education leads to habit, skill, thought and purpose. And then, when a boy is through with that instruction he can make his own way from the start. He does not have to loiter around, letting his life go at high hazard, picking up trilites here and there, and taking a great risk of amounting to nothing in the world. He is 'given a mission with his education and goes about it when his school is over. There is something else about this reform that is powerfully appealing, and that is, that intelligence in work means more character, better citizenship, and truer ideals of life. These things, including the honesty and efficiency in the work itself, make this addition to our educational method the greatest demand of the day, and the duty to secure it one of the first that a thoughtful-man can devote himself to. The address of Professor Hanus, delivered before an association of white teachers, advocating industrial education for white youths is but another assurance that Dr. Washington, the great exponent of industrial education for Negroes, is correct in his theory of education. Here we have a white professor, from the greatest school for higher education in this country, endorsing industrial education for whites, and thereby placing the seal of approval on the theories and work of the wizard of Tuskegee. "After January 1 the stranger bound from Washington to New Orleans will think it's a long time between drinks," says the Atlanta Constitution. Well he can go via way of indiana and get a cocktail? "It is said the Japs never eat butter," remarks the Birmingham News. At the price it is now, only American millionaires can afford to indulge in Miss Cow's churned product. "Lightning strikes the oak oftener than any other tree," announces the U.S. Bureau of Forestry. We presume the next electrical storm that visits Washington will find Traff, Cottontail, Cannon, Foraker, Fairbanks, et. al., all standing under one of the oaks of the Capitol. "What makes eggs so high?" asks an exchange. We assume it is because a chicken usually comes with each bit of hen fruit these days. Some of the newspaper paragraphers are enjoying themselves of the expense of Mr. Loeb, the President's secretary, but it never disturbs a crease in his trousers. It is foolish to lay out money in the purchase of repetence. It is said that every colored leader in Ohio who reaches prominence by way of the State legislature generally advances backward. THE BATTLE OF BROWNSVILLE The end of the "Battle of Brownsville" is not yet in sight. Senator Foraker has his own personal reasons for insisting that it be held on the boards. It is a good political asset. A score of very large and very bulky volumes, containing evidence, in this case, have already been controlled to contemporary artefact and to history. There is more to follow, if Senator Foraker has his way. Senator Warren has called the committee to meet on November 18, to endeavor to reach some decision on this vexed question. It cannot be charged that the committee has entered into a "conspiracy of silence." The members of Companies B, C and D, of the discharged Twenty-third Infantry, are probably scattered to the four corners of the country. But Senator Foraker still has in mind the purpose to summon two or three more witnesses, probably to prove that Brownsville, Tex., "shot-up itself." This will mean more evidence and more printed volumes. To these questions and cross-questions should be appended the stirring senate debate, in which Senator Tillman expressed his view of the president and Senator Speaker and traced the race problem from the earliest scriptural times. Furthermore, what Senator Spooner said of Senator Tillman and the subject in general should not be omitted. The whole will make an array of volumes slightly fewer numerous than the records of the military operations of the union and confederate armies during the late unpleas-antness. It will be recalled that the right of the President to discharge the colored troops appeared "without questioning" in the senate resolution providing for the inquiry into the affair. The ban upon further enlistment by members of the discharged battalion was removed by the President. It will be incumbent upon them to prove their qualifications and good character. The committee's report is expected to indorse more officers and more enlisted men who can prove they had no "unity" knowledge of the affray will be permitted to relist and given credit for their former service. It is not supposed, however, that a recommendation for the re-enlistment of any individual soldier or company of soldiers will be made. The review of the evidence which was given by 156 witnesses and consumed four months in the telling, as well as the known attitude of several members of the committee, would in effect preside over the President was justified in fact and did add to legal authority in discharging the soldiers. The country would like to see the whole matter finally settled. The trial has lasted long enough. Unless additional hearings are held, a report should be prepared and submitted to Congress at the opening of the next session. The committee should right the right of submitting a minority report, but the bloody Brownsville affray should be promptly removed from the boards. MRS. GERTRUDE B. NEEDLES. The Only Woman Fur Cutter Known In the United States Mrs. Gertrude B. Neeson was born in Philadelphia, but at present she is a resident of 24 West 134th street, New York city. For several years she has been fore lady in a fur manufactory, and now she has started in business for herself. Furs of all descriptions are made up and remodelled in the latest style and at reasonable prices. A fact worthy of mention is that she is the only woman fur cutter in the United States. Her work is of the highest order and she has all that she can do. Having a pleasing manner and an engaging personality she readily gains customers. This is quite a venture for a woman to undertake and she deserves great credit. It will help to start business and this little woman possesses both. Those who send her their work may rest assured that they will be pleased with the result. Her enterprise should prove an incentive for other women to engage in business. The field is large always for energetic workers. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained," is an old adage, but a very true one. The Rod in Georgia Schools. SAVANNAL, Ga., Nov. 18—The board of education, at a meeting to-night, voted to reintroduce corporal punishment into the public schools of this city and county, from which it has been excluded for twenty-two years. The order becomes effective at once, and bad boys must stop being disciplined in public schools if licted upon boys, only by the principals, only in the grammar schools, and only in extreme cases. Women to Acclimate to Reality Woman to Assemble in Peonage Cases. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18—Mary Y. Quackenbos, of Louisiana, has been appointed a special assistant to the attorney general, and has been assigned to the investigation of peonage cases in the South and for some time has been employed in the general obtaining evidence in peonage cases in the South and her present appointment is intended as an official recognition of her services. Confederate Veterans Hold Reunion. AUGUSTA, Ga., Nov. 18—The annual State reunion of the United Confederate Veterans of Georgia was held here last week. The big confederate monument was a blaze of light, the important public buildings decorated with flags and hunting and the whole city gave itself over to the one purpose of making the occasion memorable and pleasant for the heroes in gray. Killed by His Farm Head. Cormelle, Ga., Nov. 18—York Raines, a prominent farmer, was killed in a dispute at his home six miles below here, by a Negro farm band. The Negro escaped, but the sheer was telephoned for and he has gone to the scene of trouble. APPOINTMENT OF JAMES A. COBB Ambassador Attorney in Office of United States Attorney WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 17—Qn last Monday, President Rosevelt directed Attorney-General Bonagare to appoint James A. Cobb, of this city, a special assistant to the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, to aid in the collection of forfeited recognizances in the police court and Supreme Court of District as well as the preparation of prosecution for the pure foot law. The salary attached to him is $2,000 a year. To the colored people of the District of Columbia the significance and importance of this appointment cannot be overestimated. This is the first time a colored man has ever been appointed to a place of such dignity in the office of the United States District Attorney here, and the President could not possibly have made a better selection for the position than is to be found in James. A. Cobb. He was of Duke University and the Howard University Law School. He was admitted to the bar in 1901 and has been actively engaged in the practice of his profession since that time. No young lawyer in Washington has more completely won the respect of the District bar and bench than Mr. Cobb. It has been my good fortune and pleasure to hear some of the foremost lawyers here constantly mention his name in a most favorable way both as a student and a practitioner. Whether he is trying a case by himself or is associated with a brother lawyer, he always works well with him. Mr. Cobb has been the attorney in a great many cases before the court over which I preside and his readiness in the examination of witnesses, and text book law have been a delightful revelation to me and a source of surprise to the lawyers opposed to him. ```markdown ``` JAMES A. COBH Mr. Cobb will do himself and his race credit in this new place that has been opened to his people by President Roo-cevel. He will make it possible for the people to have representation in the District Attorney's office for all time to come, if fitness and worth are to be tests by which the appointments in the future are to be made. A delegation of men called on the President at the White House yesterday to thank him for Mr. Cobb's appointment and his additional evidence of friendship for the colored people of the country and for his purpose to give them recognition in certain high official places which they have never received at the hands of any other President. The delegation consisted of White Mendicant Levi, a graduate of the Port at Charleston; Hon James C. Napier, of Nashville; Clarence White the violinist; James A. Cobb and Robert H. Terrell. The President received the members of the delegation in a most gracious manner, had a long talk with them and introduced them to Mr. Ray Staunnd Baker as the kind of men he had selected for office. Mr. Baker himself became very much interested in the men and in the subject and spent a large part of the day after leaving the White House in conferences with different members of the society and Teller, discussing the almighty problem. Like a good thriller American citizen Mr. Cobb took the oath the day after he received official notice of his appointment. ROBERT H. TERRELL. METRODIST BISHOPS TO MEET. Representatives of Three Branches of the Church to Confer. Bishop Henry M. T. Turner the head of the African Methodist Episcopal church, Bishop L. H. Holsey, the senior bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, and Bishop J. W. Hood, of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, have been authorized by their several denominations to call a council in Washington, D. C., February 12, 1908. The circular reads: "You are hereby notified and requested to assemble in a joint convention and remain in session a week or ten days, if the magnitude of our business demands it is political, religious, civil, political and sociological conditions of our race at this time are such that it requires attention, mature reflection and expression, and possibly communal expression, as we have to hear the burdens of government." It is said these bishops represent through their churches, more than two million people, and as many followers. Bishops Turner and Holsey are quoted as being quite dissatisfied with the political aspect of the Negro in Georgia. They claim that it is not only crippling labor conditions, but it is destroying their churches, and that more than three thousand of their membership have gone north and north since March and that twelve months have made more than two thousand Negroes will emigrate. It is possible that the bishops represent these three denominations will give the country an expression on these conditions! Six Killed by Explosion. PINE BLUFF, Ark. November 16.—A boiler at a gin house of the Trulock plantation, seven miles south of Pine Bluff, exploded this morning, killing J. R. Trulock and five Negroes and demolishing the gin. LEXINGTON, Nov. 18—In the case of J. Alex. Chiles against the Changseng and Ohio Railway Company, the jury awarded the plaintiff damages in the sum of $100. The plaintiff, who is member of the Lexington Bar Association, was on his way from this city to Old Point Comfort, Va., and was compelled to transfer to a coach set apart for colored passengers after passing the Virginia State line. The transfer actually took place at Goshen, fifty-one miles from the State line. The plaintiff maintains that the car into which he had to go was not in good condition in that it had been used as a smoking car, and that he was made sick by the odor. The plaintiff in the case has already had two suits against the company. The first suit he lost, the testimony as to the condition of the coach being more favorable than the latter in the case just tried. This latter case more of the first. Mr. Chiles alleges that he was turning home from a visit to Virginia, where he had gone to take deposition in the original case, when the cause of the second arose. It should be understood that the question of separate cars for white and colored travelers by railroad is not an issue in the cases brought by Mr. Chiles, Col. John R. Allen, his attorney, stated to the jury that this was not an issue; that the separate coach law was a proper one and had come to stay. He insisted, however, that when a color man or woman naid first-class fare on a railroad he or she was entitled to a class accommodation. It is not likely that the *f* from the Fayette Circuit Court there is no appeal, because the is too small to admit of it, will railroads to radically change the regarding colored passengers, not, says a prominent railroad he given the same kind of a coach as the white people, because patronage would not justify a car which the Chesapeake & Oh way Company used has three comments. One of them is used as a colored people, one as a day compartment, between then small compartment, used as a smoker. The ear of which Mr. complained, he says, consisted of section of baggage, one section of oared passengers and a compartment smokers, but the passenger part was unclean and the smoke in it made ill. A number of respectable colored people have lately traveled from Lexington, by way of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, for whom the local agent of the road endeavored to make terms with the Pullman authorities in Louisville. By taking the complaint was arranged that an entire Pullman or the part of it, was obtained for these passengers. There is a constantly recurring question arising about the Pullman car passenger business, in an endeavor to keep the races apart in obedience to the Kentucky law. It is recognized that conditions regarding the colored race have hinged. They have become largely more substantial, and more than formerly, and for greater distances, and are in position to afford superior accommodations. They do not ask, however, to be permitted to ride in the same coaches with the white people. They are quite content, says one local colored man, of recognized respectability, to ride in separate coaches, but when they pay for first class accommodation they are entitled to recognize the railways appear to recognize this truth, and less make an effort to satisfy this demand, by putting the coaches for colore passengers in a more cleanly and more sanitary condition. NEW HAVEN MAN DROPS DEAD. Samuel Swetson • Dice In Street — Social Notes of Interest. NEW HAVES, Nov. 17.—The Dunbar recital by Professor Edward S.

BENHOMES, Va., Nov. 18.—The Negro-hating press of the South has flung several fits in the past week, since it has become generally known that Bishop Ferguson of Cape Palmas, West Africa, was a guest at the reception of Governor and Mrs. Swanson, of Virginia, to the Lord Bishop of England, at the Governor's mansion the night of October 8 last. It cags it be denied that this prelate great Episcopal church in present, and now that he is trying to make it appo- sals with the Lord Bishop and as quickly and as suddenly the first frost comes. se. student had the honor to to Ferguson to the sion. When the carriage were seated rolled up to of the mansion, the door of a man standing at the bishop alighting en- sion. Upon his return insion, a man stationed on with a megaphone called out of the Bishop's carriage; it came from the entrance the Bishop could get in the was besieged by a number ladies who had not had an city of shaking hands with him on the inside. on our way back to the bishop's informed me that the attention him by the Governor and Mrs. and a pleasant chat with the bishop of London was as cordial in reception he had ever received. On all sides there was cordiality and general hand-shaking and introductions—nothing unpleasant to mar the occasion or to cause any embarrassment as to the cordial manner in which the bishop was received everywhere—at Masonic Temple where lunchon was served the bishops daily; on the trip to the St. Paul Normal and Industrial school, as the guest of George Foster Peabody, where he read prayers and delivered an address; in Monumental church, where he and Bishop Lawrence assisted Bishop Tuttle in the celebration of Holy Communion; at the great missionary mass meeting in St. Paul's, where he was one of the principal make-up for every position and duty as a dignitary of the church Catholic called him. And it has taken some of the small fry reporters a month after these occurrences to find them out, making "much ado about nothing." To the thinking ones there is an animus in all this stir—to this seeming "temperst in a teapot." Politics seem to be at the bottom of the whole fuss. Up in Alexandria the other day, a Mr. Carlin, the Democratic nominee for Congress from the Eighth Virginia District, severed ties with Bishop Bishop and entertaining Bishop Ferguson at dinner, that being a social function which should never obtain in the South, as he put it. ne governor's reception was a high social function and of greater prominence than that of the Bishop of New York, consequently the Negro bishop should not have been hidden. Whose fault then is it that he was there? The governor's, and he should have taken every precaution to see that he was not there. Governor Swanson before his elevation to the gubernatorial chair had served a number of years in Congress; he is young, comparatively speaking; he is ambiguous; he hears the hum of a senatorial bee about his ears. His political enemies in this political arena the Negro bishop as a cry of "Social Equality" whatever that is, for it is the boomerang which southern demagogues harangue audiences when they are seeking election to office. The politicians opposed to Swanson's aspirations are at the back of all this hue and cry with a hope that it may check Governor Swanson's further political aspirations. We had an election in Virginia last week for members of the State Legislature. The Lily White party in Richmond had put forward a candidate who was supposedly to receive the support of the saloon element. Well 'the also ratified receiving candidate' was 2,572. The Lily White party in this city will never assume proportions sufficiently respectable as to be designated other than "office holders." The officers of the Jamestown Negro Development and Industrial Association has called a mass meeting of white citizens at the Academy of Music to night. The object of the meeting is to secure the endorsement and support of the white people of Richmond of the scheme to remove the Negro exhibit at Jamestown. This scheme say the exhibit is too valuable a one to be distributed so early and they think it will accrue to the benefit of the race to make the exhibit permanent. The argument to be presented to the white people to-night is that the removal of the exhibit here will attract thousands of people, whose coming here will mean the expending of large sums of money with the merchants. Captain William Isaac Johnson, president of the Negro Companion Company, Col. Gke B. Jameston and Professor D. Webster Davis and others will be the speakers. GEORGE ST. JULIAN STEPHENS.

The two d took "gro COLUMBUS, Nov. 18.—I do not desire to enter into or to prolong any argument concerning the relative claims to distinction of the two existing wings of Afro-American Elks." These are the words beginning an article appearing upon one of the pages of your valuable paper by H. H. Pace. In the attempt to criticise and to show Dr. J. E. Mills wherein the way of him speaking and at this critical moment he was, and he, Dr. J. E. Mills, deserves reconsideration of your constituency. First I am glad to know that most Elks can read, and after reading have learned to understand the laws and constitution. Dr. Mills has been accused of saying that Dr. Atkins has usurped the authority and the powers of the grand lodge. Enterprise Lodge, No. 52, has within its achives a communication asking the above named lodge for a certain amount of money, this communication bore his signature. Now I will ask Dr. Atkins not to authorize Dr. Atkins had this authority, but will leave this for you to say. Now, I think, if Mr. Pace will peruse the past records of his "New Wing" he will find out that Dr. Mills did not prevaricate. The other day I heard a story that was a little variation from the original, and I am going to repeat it to you. It was to this affect: Old Mr. Washington and Mrs. Washington, the parents of George, found on one occasion that their supply of soap for use of the family had been exhausted, and so they decided to make some family soap. They made the necessary arrangements giving the proper servant instructions. After an hour or so the servant returned and reported to them that he could not make the soap. Why not, he was asked: "haven't you all been in a situation?" He said: "but there is something wrong." The old folks proceeded to investigate, and they found they had actually got the ashes of the little cherry tree that George had cut down with his hatchet, and there was not in it. Now I am sure there is no "lie" in what I say to you in reference to this matter. If there is any man so bad or so weak as to prefer a dependence on the "New Wing," to the dignity and happiness of being a member of a free and independent "parent lodge," let me tell you that necessity now demands what the generous principle of patriotism requires. We vary in other alternative than independence or the most ignominious and galling servitude. Recollect who are the men that demand your submission, to whose decree you are invited to pay obedience. Men who, unmindful of their relation to you as brethren of your long implicit submission to their laws; of the sacrifice which you and our founder made of your merited labor advantages for convenience to their avarice, formed a deliberate plan to wrest from us the small pittance of money which they had permitted us to acquire. Remember that the men who wish to rule over you are they who, in pursuit of this plan of despotism, tried to annul the charter which had been made with your grand old founder; conveyed into our cities a "New Wing" to compel him to whom you lay, treat, treat, who call your patience, cowardice; and your piety, hypocrisy. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of this vital subject. It is only in this that we can hope to arrive at the truth and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to God and our worthy brethren. Should I keep back my opinion at such a time through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my brothers, and of an act of disloyalty toward the grand exalted ruler of all which I revere above all carlyl kings. The concession of a life hidden with God in sympathy with man—these, all these, will live among your immoral traditions, heroic in your heroic story. Now as to the founder, we has seen not only the titled, but the poor and the lowly in the utmost ends of our country rise, and uncover before him, the great hero of our nation, many organizations and he comes back a better Elk than ever, with a massive knowledge and experience added to the hard common sense which so conspicuously distinguished him in all the fierce light that beat upon him throughout the most eventful, trying and perilous two years of the Elk's career. Never having had a policy to enforce against the will of the people, he never betrayed a cause or a friend, and the people will never betray or desert him. Nilified and reviled, truthlessly aspected by numberless presses not in other lands, but in his own country, he have strengthened and reassured his hold upon the true heart, the ammunition of colony has all been exploited; its presence is spent; and M. F. Howard's name will glitter as a bright and imperishable star in the diadem of the organization when those who have tried to tarnish it will have molded in forgotten graves and their memories and epitaphs have vanished, and let us always love the "Truth," our life to its honor, and let us a glory, MARCELUS C.

AN ARKANSAS CITY People of Little Rock Wideawake and Progressive. LITTLE ROCK. Ark. November 6. There are certain lines of work, of which the Afro-Americans in this city have a monopoly—the "express wagons." Some of the men who run drays and express wagons have made marked success. Among the men who were pioneers in this line of business is W. A. Nixon, who has ammassed realy holdings which put a gill edge to his signature on checks that are honored at any bank in the city. The colored barber shops used to control the trade of the city, but the white barbers, Italians mostly, have entered the field and have become keen competitors'. Mr. B. T. Willis, M. Lee and A. L. Hobson are the three white shops owned and operated by colored men. The colored barber can only hold his own by putting in improvements, electrical work and other appliances. There is a decadence of colored apprentice lathers, hence the presence of the foreigner in this line of business. Colored truck farmers practically raise seventy-five per cent of the vegetables consumed by the city's population, but there is not one 'colored "buck-stering wagon" in the city. Peddling fruits and vegetables through the streets is in the hands of the Italians and other incoming foreigners. Another inroad being made by the Greeks and Italians is in the shoe-shining parlorors and elegant fitted up white plush seams and a large white plush not a first-class shoe-shining parlor in the city owned and run by colored men. Success is now awaiting the colored man who opens up a first-class, shoe-shining parlor. In the North we hear a great deal about the down-trodden colored man, but it is a splendid sight to see two or three hundred colored men busy teaming up, lowering the road-bed, and relaying the street car railroad tracks. The man receive in wages $1.50 a day, and, by the end of the day, he shine. In the North Italianis or Irishmen would be doing this work. This is a great place for horses, hence the demand for blacksmiths and wheelwrights. One of the most successful "scientific shoers," wagon and carriage repair shops in the city is owned and run by Messrs. Thin and Brown, on W. 7th street. This is a great place for ways filled with orders, given employment to several colored men and is making money. Another successful man in this line of work is Mr. J. H. Douglas who runs a general repair shop, repairing or putting new rubber tires on wagons and buggies when asked; how he is succeeding Mr. Douglas. There are numerous other similar places of business conducted by colored men, all of whom are doing nicely. It is rumored around town that a law school will be organized here in this city by the colored lawyers. The Arkansas Baptist College. Phillander Smith College and Shorter College are the three institutions which have been doing excellent in the arts and belles lettres. If a law department is attached to either, it will do most excellent work. It is said that Mr. Nelson Nichols, who has been quite successful in practicing in all the State and Federal courts, is urging to the front as one of the best known fordr lawyers in the State. All of the colored lawyers in this city and throughout the Southwest, have an excellent practice and the presence of an Afro-American lawyer in any community prevents considerable criminality. How is this done? The Southern police and town marshal will arrest a Negro on the slightest pretext, even when there is no evidence of crime being committed. If the "prisoner-at-har" is without legal advice and an attorney, is a forgeone conclusion that he will be sentenced to the penitentiary or county jail for colored lawyer, in protecting the interests of the colored client and makes the police or town marshal "make good," which they more often cannot do, hence their acquittal. The Government statistics, concerning crime committed among the so-called Southern Negroes, are false, misleading, incorrect, and furnish the public with erroneous impressions. 797 Fulton Street, Brooklyn Telephone 5721 L-Prospect GET INSURED Don't be Burned Out and Have Nothing Left.

July 23-19 One has been reading the newspapers; they doubtless have seen the number of cases of "peamage" traced to some petty infraction. Little Rock is, like Philadelphia, Pa., a city where, out of a colored population of about 15,000, sixty per cent of the Afro-Americans own a large part of the city's financial budget, is worth colored taxpayers. Even the renter's home is beautifully furnished. Not a few of the city's colored population have horses, buggies and carriages. A few years ago when the "Jim Crow" car laws were enacted by the common council one large firm in this city sold, during that year, over $3,000 worth of buggies to the colored people of this city, people who are wealthy and can afford all the comforts that can be gotten "on these low grounds of sorrow." For example, Mrs. J. H. Taper, of Ninth and Broadway, owns in her own right property in the very heart of the city, worth anywhere from $12,000 to $15,000. Mr. Scipio Jones, the lawyer, is worth from $25,000 to $35,000; Mr. William La Porte, the contractor, is worth $50,000. Fort Smith, Pine Bluff, is the City and Texarkana, Ark, like the Rock City, many well-to-do and prosperous colored cities; the Rock are located most of the State institutions, and among them is the institution for the Colored Blind of the State, of which Mr. T. R. Ish is the superintendent Associated with Mr. Ish is his genial wife, Mrs. T. R. Ish, one of the social leaders of the city and an ardent member of the Congregational church, Prof. T. R. and Mrs. Ish is his domicile, corner 11th and Battery gave a very brilliant reception in honor of Miss Hattie Ish and Prof. W. L. Decrease of Howard University, Washington, D. C. Miss Ish, the sweet and accomplished daughter of Prof. and Mrs. J. G. Ish, is home on her vacation. Among the several young men who will leave for the North to enter school is Mr. Samuel King, who has recently inherited a large fortune; he goes to Wilberforce University, at Xenia, Ohio. He is in the senior class of the department of that institution; Mr. Jefferson G. Ish, an alumnus of Tallahassee College, goes to Yale University, during the medical department of "Old Elie" the Adjunant's Baptist College, Philander Smith College, Industrial College and the Williams Industrial School together with the opening of the several city public schools, make this city the leading educational center for colored people in the Southwest. Presidents Booker, Cox, Hill and Stout are excellent college presidents, and these schools are doing excellent work on their limited means. Virtually all of the farming done in the Southwest is done by the colored man, and all the Negro in the South is raised by the Negro in the farm who is the real creator of the Southwest. Take the Negro farm hand out of the Southern grass will grow in the Southern and cotton farm, as big as the cedars of Lebanon. Soup houses would flourish at Fall River and other centers that manufacture the raw cotton into muslin, while such places as Troy, N. Y., which work up this muslin into fine linen shirts, collars and cuffs, would be a dressed village, so that upon the Southern Negro cotton picker depends the industrial supremacy and prosperity of many northern manufacturing enterprises. Now the Negro would ever suspect that upon the Negro the South depends the existence and timed business done at the New York Cotton Exchange, and that the same class of Afro-American labor makes Northern millionaires. Ever since Negroes sailed with Christopher Columbus on his first voyage of discovery in the year 1492, black men have been making white men rich. It was upon the nautical calculation, made by Petro Alonzo, a Portuguese black man, that Columbus dressed the west and made his famous discourses, which it had been upon the labor of the American Negro that many a white man's millionaire. Negro cotton pickers make white millionaires. L. M. B. More Particular. *immercial* (gent) (traveling in tobae to you) you could offer to my of your friends.

He came to Nyack in the spring of 1876 to attend the school of Mr. K. Church. One of his first friends came to look up the colored cellar and start a Sunday school. This was done in a time when one who was part of our people own in the church would be part of our family, himself, wife, children and grandchildren. For two or three years of success in his Sabbath school work Mr. Tewt worked in the school and it moved to the church. He expanded a church for the colored people to worship in. He then bought another house and lot in Catherine street and hired a minister, put him in it and taught the children. He spent a month in the colored church. For 25 years he superintended the Sabbath school, and no Sunday was ever too hot, cool, wet or dry to keep him from the heat. He taught the children Sunday school for want of clothes or Bed; not if Mr. Tewt knew K. And in recognition of these facts, and in profound remembrance of the grand, good man, Mr. Philip's Sabbath school felt it a great honor to honor the memory of John W. Tewt.
