OLZER'S HARLEM RIVER CASINO BURNS TO GROUND New York Picnic Park a Loss—Scene of Many Good Times Important and Interesting Services Held Locally by Various City Organizations—Prominent Priest at St. Benedict's Church—29th Anniversary of St. Mark's Lyceum. Thursday afternoon of last week Sulgar Harlem River Park and Casino was buried. The cause of the fire is unknown. The main hall and smaller buildings were destroyed. The loss is estimated at over $260,000. Sulgar Harlem River Casino was one of the picturesque spots in Harlem. Founded many years ago by the father of the present owner it has always been a favorite gathering place of politicians, entertainments and pictures of various organizations. // At this park for many years back have been held some of the largest gatherings of New York's colored social and fraternal organizations, including the Southern League, Bellmen, Calumet and Ianthea Wheelmen's clubs. West Indian clubs, St. Philip's Guild, and the Hope Day Nursery. During the past fall Mr. M. M. Mimms gave several large dances at the park and it was the intention to conduct a dancing class there this Winter. Several successful sessions had already been given. this city is West 53d street between Sixth and Ninth avenues. The institutional and church life is centered in this community. The presence of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A., the different churches, and enterprises of this street, give it an air of culture and thrift which would do justice to any community inhabited by our white neighbors. Some of the institutions, enterprises and prominent citizens of this street are: The Young Men's Christian Association, the Young Women's Christian Association, St. Mark's M. E. church, Mt. Olivet Baptist church, St. Benedict, the Stand-ard News Company, the True Reformers' society, the Hotel Macco, Hotel Marshall, the National Waiters' Association. The residence of Doctors C. H. and E.

The celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of St. Mark's lyceum will be The approach of Thanksgiving is always an occasion of joy and good cheer, and brings with it many pleasanties. In observing Thanksgiving we commemorate one of the oldest of national holidays. A custom benacqued to us by the noble Puritans who landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620. This grand legacy bequeathed to us by the Puritans is certainly a noble one. Thousands of homeless will be made to feel the significance of the day. Special Thanksgiving services will be held throughout the city to-day at the different churches and institutions. The Thanksgiving turkey will have his place among the holiday's eatables. At St. Mark's M. E. church, M. Olivet Baptist, St. James Presbyterian and the churches of the city special services will be held. At the Young Men's Christian Association the annual Thanksgiving dinner will occur on Saturday evening, November 20. This is always an interesting occasion among the Association event, and brings out a merry gathering. The dinner is given under the auspices of the Bible class. A distinguished Y. M. C. A. worker from Sweden will be present and spark. The committee of management of the branch have been invited to attend. The dinner will be served by an auxiliary committee of ladies, and will be served in the reading room. Athletics have received considerable attention from the fellows this season. An athletic club has been organized for the purpose of discussing athletic topics. A football match will be played on Thanksgiving Day. Sunday afternoon the inclement weather married to a great degree the success of the meeting. However, a few were present and enjoyed the services. Thanksgiving was the subject discussed. Next Sunday afternoon an interesting meeting is expected. Mr. Roscoe C. Simmons will speak, and Cleveland G. Allen will preside. The ladies' quartette, led by Mrs. Sharpe, of St. Mark's church, will sing. The Sunday afternoon meetings are certainly the life of the Association. The carefully selected speakers are of the best. Helpful messages are brought to the young men; that goes a long way in shaping the lives of those who hear them discussed. At the Young Women's Christian Association a special Thanksgiving entertainment will be given at the branch building, 334 West 53d street. The entertainment will be given in the aid of the Association work and will be known as gentlemen's night. Thanksgiving services will be held all day at the Young Women's branch. Sunday afternoon Dr. E. P. Roberts addressed the meeting. The singing class of the Association is well patronized by the young ladies. Miss Cora P. Bowles, the secretary, is the instructor. The branch is growing steadily, and has a membership of over 800. The Young Women's Christian Association is filling a Jong need in its relation to the city. The homelike and cultured air of the home make it an attractive rendezvous to while away an idle moment. The White Rose mission will be open Thanksgiving Day to an informal reception to visitors and friends who are desirous of visiting the home. This mission is doing very successful work in its purpose of helping humanity. The Lusitania club, having for its object social culture, held an interesting meeting Monday evening at the residence of Mrs. Jeanne Taylor, 310 West 83d street. An enjoyable pastime was had, plans were discussed concerning the Christmas reception. New members were taken in. Among those present were: Dr. Banks, Mr. Hewlitt, Miss Anna Williams, Mr. Altrim, Mrs. A. Clarke, Mrs. Mary Stevens, Miss Nora Hubbard, Mr. William Green, Miss Florence Reed, Mr. Ottley, Mr. Hollingsworth, Mr. Antrim, Mr. Gould, Mrs. J. Taylor. The club is composed more or less of the representative class, having for its object the promotion of social culture among its members. As we pointed out in a former issue it is interesting to note the general improved condition of the community life of the colored residents of New York Education and culture have found its way into our home life, and have left their imprint. Subjects of a higher order, pertaining to education and literature, have become part of the family circle. Libraries, pianos, are a part of the household, and the general home life is becoming improved. A fair example of the intellectual element of the race in LEM RIVER BURNS TO GROUND Picnic Park a Loss—Scene Good Times DAY IN NEW YORK Services Hold Locally by Various City Priest at St. Benedict's Church— Mark's Lyceum. this city is West 53d street between Sixth and Ninth avenues.

The celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of St. Mark's lyeum will be commemorated Thursday evening, December 12. The committee formulating plans for the occasion is exercising every effort to make the event a memorable one in the history of the lyeum. Representatives from various literary societies of New York and Brooklyn have been invited to share in the commemoration of a quarter of a century of existence of St. Mark's historic lyeum. Some of the early workers of the lyeum will also be present to lend grace to the occasion. The occasion will be fittingly observed with an appropriate program, the feature of which will be the musical side. St. Mark's lyeum since its organization in 1882 has been closely related to the life of the city, and has played a commendable part in moulding the lives of many a young man and woman who have felt its healthful influence. The anniversary should be a success, as all evidence points that way. The commemoration of Whittier-Day an event which it looked forward to with much delight, promises to be an eventful one. This is the first time the lyeum has observed the memory of the great anti-slavery agitator, and the occasion should be one of great interest. Mr. George Young will preside. The annual church fair of St. Mark's M. E. church began with great success last Monday. These fairs have done a great deal for the church, they are strongly related to the social life of the church and community. The Mirror, the lycum paper, is growing in power and influence, and reflects in an interesting manner the general life of the lycum. Plans are being considered whereby the lycum paper can be enlarged to such an extent as to charge two cents for each sheet. Editor John E. Robinson is very desirous of increasing the circulation and influence of the paper. The Mirror is the product of the George E. Young administration. Some of the editors have been George E. Young, Hubert H. Harrison, and John E. Robinson. Another meeting will be held soon in the interest of the lycum paper. On Thanksgiving evening a special program will be rendered consisting of choice selections. A special dinner will be served. All is quiet at Mt. Olivet, but perhaps the battle is going on silently. Nothing has been learned further in reference to Dr. Gilbert's resignation since our last report. Dr. Gilbert still stands like a mighty giant commanding the respect of his fellow workers. We hope Dr. Gilbert will remain in the city, as he is quite an addition to the religious and intellectual life of the city. The local business league of New York continues to carry on the good work among the colored business men of New York. Organizer G. W. Allen is working very hard to thoroughly spread the influence of the league over the city. He reports a successful showing along business lines among our young colored business men. The league is a branch of the National Negro Business League, and efforts are being made to have a good representation at the next meeting of the National League. An interesting and important meeting of the colored carpenters was held last Friday evening at 206 West 53d street. The entire membership was out. Mr. Robert W. Taylor addressed the men. This organization looks after the general protection of the colored carpenters. The colored population of New York ranks well in the world of education in this city. The work of Professor Wm. L. Bulkley, the principal of Public School No. 80, is certainly commendable. His industrial school in 46th street is crowded with earnest men and women of race who are patching up their industrial education. The evening industrial school has a student body of over 1,000. Dr. Bulkley is one of the most successful educators in the East to-day. His work is commendable and he and his corps of assistants are to be congratulated. Further notes pertaining to Dr. Bulkley and his work will be reported in Tire Age in our next week's issue. Getting Right. Possible Boarder.

AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1907 [Blank Page with decorative border and emblem] LIVE NEWS OF PHILADELPHIA Notes of Current Interest—Spartan Taylor—An Independent Beginner. PHILADELPHIA, November 25. After quarrelling with her husband Thursday night, Mrs. Eva Jones, Afro-American, of Eighth and Lombard streets, took carbolic acid with suicidal intent. Policeman Beham discovered and had her taken immediately to the Pennsylvania Hospital. She will recover. Last Friday Vice-Chancellor Learning listened to the reading of affidavits in the suit of Richard C. Hendrickson, administrator of the the estate of Mrs. Sarah W. Hendrickson, to set aside a deed made to John W. Wilson, Afro- American, who was a domestic in the family and to whom the property was conveyed shortly before the death of Mrs. Hendrickson, on March 15 last, at the age of ninety-one years. The administrator also seeks to have a temporary injunction made permanent, to restrain Wilson from selling any of the furniture, pictures, heirlooms, jewelry, or other personal property. The estate is valued at $24,000. Far more clever and resourceful, Jack Blackburn, the Afro-American fighter, decisively outpointed Harry Lewis, the white welterweight, who said he could whip Jack Johnson, in a bout that went the limit of six rounds at the National Athletic Club last Wednesday night. Blackburn was a marvel of science and self possession, outboxing his opponent at every angle, judging distance better and hitting a harder blow. Lewis apparently was in good shape when the bout ended, but he was puffing and commencing to show signs of the pace and the punishment that Blackburn had dealt to him. The frail Afro-American adhered always to scientific principles. He sought to wear down his sturdy rival rather than to try to cripple him in a punch. He knew that the child of the Ghetto carries a powerful wallop himself, and he exercised the greatest caution at all times. The Blackburn plan of battle was business-like. He kept Lewis at bay with an ever moving left which had force behind it. This blow smashed to pieces the line of battle Lewis had mapped out. Lewis selected the Afro-American's stomach as the bullseye for his leads and counters, but the Blackburn left generally kept him away, and the result was more damage for Lewis than for Blackburn. Too free of use of a revolver landed Hugh Gallagher, a baggageman at the Springgarden street station of the Reading Railway, in jail Thursday. He started to eject Thomas Curtis, Afro-American, from the station, where he was slumbering on a trunk; Curtis showed tight, and was getting the better of Gallagher when the latter drew his revolver and fired two shots, nearly causing a panic on a train loaded with commuters which was standing at the station. One of the bullets struck the Afro-American in the leg, making a flesh wound, while the other went wild. Curtis was hurried to the hospital, and Gallagher was arrested by Sergeant Raeder, of the Eighth District, for assault and battery with intent to kill. THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL valued at $40,000, the will of A C Donner, of the firm of Donner & Snyder, who died recently at the Jefferson Hospital, admitted to probate to-day, devised $200 each to five Afro-Americans in the employ of the firm. "As a direct result of the riot at Atlanta, Ga., a year ago, the white landholders of the South and the better element of the Afro-Americans are being brought together," said the Rev Joseph Holley, of Albany, Ga., in addressing a meeting in Winterspoon Hall last evening, in the interest of Lincoln University, an institution that has a worldwide reputation for instructing the Afro-American Other speakers urged the need of funds that the membership might be increased above 200, the present enrollment. Among them were the Rev Yorke Jones, of Charlotte, N.C. Rev William Crediti, of this city, and the Rev A B McCoy, of Americus, Ga. John B. Taylor, the remarkable runner of the University of Pennsylvania, will be seen again in competition in New York in the indoor games of the Twenty-second Regiment, to be held in the Sixty-sixth street armory on Wednesday night, November 27. It will be a 600-yard race against the world's record of 1:14 Taylor made this time in one of the several races he had last year indoors after Parsons had established the mark in an earlier race. It is believed by Mike Murphy and others who know what he is capable of doing, that he can establish a new mark. There is such a thing as an independent beggar, and one who has a regular route in West Philadelphia gathering in a song amount of money daily. He is blind and only applies for aid to householders who have pianos. He is nearly the equal of Blind Tom. After ringing a doorbell the man sings a few lines from "Ill Trovatore." This usually brings the occupant of the house out in a hurry. If the singer has only half finished his selection, he continues unto the end. He has a beautiful tenor voice of long range and sings with much expression. Of course, the average woman who opens the door reaches at once for her pocketbook, but the money which she offers the singer is at first refused "I'll not take anything until I have earned it." is his usual answer "I would like to play a few airs upon your piano." This request is usually granted, and the blind Afro-American plays so, feelingly that an audience of appreciative neighbors is usually attracted to the house in which he performs. Of course, there are many encores, and the listeners, as a rule, show their appreciation by a good offering to the musician. J. H. Givvy DISGUISED AS NEGRO WOMAN He Ah Sing Will Be Departed to His Native China. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 16. Orders for the deportation of Ho Ah Sing, alias Nep Stone, have been received here from the Department of Commerce and Labor for violation of the immigration laws. Nep was first arrested here at the union station in the guise of a Negro woman. He will be sent from here to San Francisco and from there will be deported to China. The case has been a hard fought one, and has attracted widespread attention. LINCOLN INSTITUTE Debating Society—Brilliant Reception in the Bride—Lanc- cala Fraternity— JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Nov. 19.—The B'E Allen Literary Society, under the management of the senior normal class of the present scholastic year, has taken on new life and promises to be an excelleg forum for expression along literary and musical lines, debate, oratory, etc.; in short, just what a high-class literary society should be. Several interesting programs already have been rendered, and that of last Friday evening was one of the best. The debate, "Resolved, That Railroads Should Be Owned by the Government," between the seniors and juniors was entered into with spirit and was decided in favor of the affirmative, honors thus going to the seniors. All classes in literary and industrial work are moving along in good shape. Students and teachers alike seem to realize that the examinations of the first term are soon to be held and every one is attending strictly to business. The great social event of the season thus far has been the fraternity banquet, tendered Dr. Allen and his bride on November 4th "The Lincoln Fraternity" is a new organization composed of young men from the upper normal classes, the object of its existence being to cultivate proper aesthetic emotions and social spirit; quite fittingly, therefore, their first reception was given in honor of their beloved chief and his bride. The color scheme of the dining room in decoration and general appointment was old gold and leaf green. The dainty and delicious menu was prepared by the cooking class, under the skilful management of the head of the Department of Domestic Science, Mrs. De Nellotz, of Washington, D. C. Covers were laid for fifty-two, and when the guests entered the beautifully-decorated dining room the bewitching costumes of the ladies, the conventional and faultless attire of the gentlemen, the happiness depicted upon every countenance as their possessors marched to the melodious strains of music, presented a brilliant scene worthy the flash of the camera, or, the brush of the artist. The bride was charmingly costumed in a dainty creation of white silk crepe de chine, princess style, lace trimming. William Scott, of the senior class presided as hostmaster, and the following subjects were presented: The Fraternity, Houston Schwich; Our CoEds, Edward T. McDowell; Our Alma Mater, Lawrence N. Kimbrough; The Spirit of the Times, Homer Walker; The President's Bride, Erza Turner; responses, Mrs. Allen, Dr. Allen. The president highly complimented the young men upon the excellence of the English employed in their toasts, sentiments and manner of delivery, as well as upon the elegance of their reception in every respect. The rendition of the "Frat. Song," composed for the occasion, was an enjoyable feature of the evening. THE WORK OF CHICAGO IN ORGANIZATION Practical Helpfulness Extended Success of Women and Children "KING'S DAUGHTERS" AND "WOMEN" While Awake to Small Things Which Larger Agencies Church Fall to Do—Politics in Black Belt S "Plum" Hunters Meet with Setbacks in Palms CHICAGO, November 26.—This is the time of the year when organized colored women in Chicago are much in evidence by their works. Under the various names of "clubs," "circles," "guilds," "King's Daughters," etc. our women are striving to serve our poor human needs in ways beyond the reach of church and State. Whether these organizations accomplish much or little, they certainly foster the spirit of mutual helpfulness and kindness much to be desired among women. After making due allowance for the failure of some of these organizations to accomplish anything practical or important, it is possible to show a great deal in things done that is creditable to the intelligence and heart of these willing workers. city were the prosecutors one of our restaurants as a seat at a table and order counter.

Politics in the Black Beat on Tuesday last this November her election of precinct of election of election of A B C states: ing school for ger things to come. As a conspicuous example of practical helpfulness there may be mentioned "The Sunshine Circle of the King's Daughters." This circle is composed of a fine group of sincere and high-minded women. For a number of years they have carried the burden of maintaining a crech and kindergarten at the Institutional church in this city. This group of women workers has shown a fine spirit and capacity for persistence in what they have discovered to be a serious need in this particular community. Scores of mothers, who are compelled to work out by the day for a living, entrust their children of tender years to the kindly ministrations of these "Daughters of the King." During the last seven or eight years hundreds of these poor children have been tenderly cared for during the day and at night returned to the arms of their tired mothers. This is one of the most beautiful charities of our city life, because more than any other one thing done in the name of charity it illustrates the divinity of human kindness. These women also assist in maintaining a kindergarten for many children who would be un-schooled and uncared for but for the kindness of these gentle "shining" hearts. Year after year this work has been going on, quietly but effectively, the public giving quick response to any call for help these earnest women make upon it. If it were possible to measure and define the spiritual and moral value of this work to the lives of these poor little beneficiaries, the community would have a better appreciation of what this work means. Another organization of women known as "The Women's Aid," performs the voluntary and kindly service of looking after the needs of the poor women in the "Old People's Home." A more sympathetic and kindly service can scarcely be conceived than the united effort of the younger and more fortunate women to flood the waning years of these homeless, childless and helpless old people with the light of human fellowship and hope. Another club under the leadership of Mrs. L. A. Davis, has undertaken the serious work of establishing a "home" for young working women. The plan is to do for colored girls who come to the city as strangers and without guides what is being done for thousands of white girls, to save them from the pitfalls and dangers of our large cities. These are only a few examples of how colored women are trying, more or less successfully, to do their part in helping to solve some of the social problems of our day. Whatever may be the outcome, and perhaps the failure, of some of these women's organizations for lack of experience and the right sort of intelligence, it is all important that they are wide awake enough to want to do some of the things which the larger agencies of law and church fail to do. It is a wholesome indication that an increasing number of women feel it their duty to save our girls from bad influences and to see that no child of the community grows up without the childish joys and thoughtful training that make for character and the graces of manhood and womanhood. These clubs are not sentimental organizations. They stand for service and a practical taking hold of the real and tangible conditions that beset the lives of our young people. They are not talking clubs, but working clubs. The time will come when our women must bring to their tasks a higher grade of intelligence and a inner conscience. We are now in the first stage of development toward a larger usefulness. The sentimentality of the past, in which there was much egotism, a god deal of vanity and false ambition, is giving way to greater sincerity of purpose. The sincerity, intelligent Afro-American women of today are not thinking so much of office or an opportunity to pose on a platform with her admiring satellites about her; they are rather asking for an opportunity to work and serve society where service and conservation are most needed. I believe that within the next ten years the character of many of our women's organizations will be entirely different from what they have been and still are, so that a higher and more progressive grade of women may find in them the best agencies for developing the work of social reform.

Mr. Hoogan is a Negro, all the girls are dark-skinned beauties, whose voices can make some of our painted dolls of chorus women appear like raucous howlers; his comedians are all colored and even his Negro orchestra leader and drummer usurp the regular musicians. The singing, chorus of the 'Oyster Man' is composed of thirty-five voices, wonderfully blended; the bass of 'Charles Rester, winning especial merit. The choir perhaps would be by the colored poppies in any Boston stage for years, and the directorship of William H. Vodrey held the singers in perfect control. But winning deserved approbation over even the singing came the irresistible humor of Ernest Hogan and John Rucker, whose every gesture won a laugh through the house." Hogan has been in Boston before and a seat after 8 o'clock was an impossibility. Ernest Hogan and his company have brought two rare and welcome things to Boston, a show that will really make you laugh and a chorus that can sing. The company has delighted packed houses at every performance and many of the most prominent white and colored people hereabouthave gone and not only been entertained, but instructed. The case of Rev. J. Henry Duckery of Cambridge, and formerly of Philadelphia, has at last been settled apparently. The reverend, formerly pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist church, was awarded $2,000 damages last Thursday in his suit against Deacon A. B. Jones for defamation of defraudation of the case great enough to warrant a Mt. Olive church in which charges and counter-charges have been flipped thick and fast for several years. After several vain efforts to secure a retraction of the story that he had received a $200 church subscription and had turned in only $100, the energetic, influential pastor brought suit for $10,000 damages. The donor, General Lawrence, was the victim and testified that his subscription was but $100. Rev. Duckery had succeeded in securing a large number of white and colored admirers by his zealous efforts to bring a large number of Negroes from the South and by his further efforts to place deserving colored citizens in good positions. In both directions he was remarkably successful, and known before by the retirement into private life, to the friendly advisor of Mayor McNamee, of Cambridge.

Gentlemen: Pursuant to an agreement made with you in March, 1997, I proceeded to Acora, Gold Coast, West Africa, and made an examination of your GOLD MINES, RUBBER COCOA and COTTON CONCESSIONS located at Ahana, Nekwar and Dopomoe. I beg leave to report as follows: I found PLACER GOLD upon your properties which upon examination produced from one dollar to sixteen dollars per cubic yard. I also found a Gold vein of about 4 ft. wide at a depth of 6 ft. from surface. I am glad to say that the Gold Mining Proposition in my opinion will be a profitable one to all persons concerned in the working of these mines. I found wild COTTON with fibre superior in tenacity and in length to that of the cultivated Cotton of the States. RUBBER abounds in abundance on your properties and can be cultivated to great advantage to the Syndicate members financially. 238 Cocoa trees can be planted upon an acre of ground, it requires from two to three years for a tree to produce Cocoa Beans and a Cocoa tree produces from $6.00 to $6.00 worth of Beans per Ammum. 300 and more Rubber trees can be planted and cultivated with great profit upon an acre of ground and each Rubber tree imboss five or all years will produce from one to two pounds of Rubber per Ammum a value of the more than $2.00. It will cost from $40.00 to $50.00 per acre to clear the land for the planting of Rubber, Cocoa and Cotton. More than 2,800,000 trees can be planted upon your properties with a 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 $4,000,000 per Ammum for geminations and an equally paying business can be developed in the cultivation of Cotton. My advice in 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. The Engineer and three or four Syndicate Members will return to the properties in November, 1907. We need funds to buy the land, for machinery and necessary expenses. SUBSCRIPTIONS are now $250 per 1,000 shares. They will make a further increase within a few days.

MUNTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 22—The probate judge of Montgomery County has recently made an investigation and finds that half of the white men in this county of voting age are disfranchised by reason of the fact that they have not registered; or, if registered, have not paid their poll tax. This, of course, leaves out of consideration the large number of African-American voters who have disfranchised themselves in the same way. Where Afro-American Alone Can Live, From The Hopkinson Fork. A city exclusively for Negroes is to be built in West Virginia if the plans of the projectors do not miscarry. Eight miles from Charleston, the State capital, is the Virginia Colored Institute, an institution in Charleston that colored people, maintained by the State Former State Tax Commissioner C. W. Billion of Fayette county, has purchased some 300 acres immediately adjoining the city. If you cut up into city property, grading streets, laying cement sidewalks, putting in electric lights and sewerage, and is constructing a large city park, He will refuse to sell it in his own way to any that would understand that no white man is to be allowed to live in the city. It is believed the Negroes will take to the idea, as the place is close enough to Charleston to them to retain their positions in Charleston and live in the Negro community. Mainfield Notes.

Hancock became the Mayor for Philadelphia and New York City. Bw. J. Harriet Assen, D. D., who has been recently appointed pastor of Blakehosp chapel, Harlem, is well and favorably known in Manhattan and vicinity. Dr. Assen has just rounded out a successful tour of ministry as pastor of the Bathiel Church in New York and at the current solicitation of Blakehosp. D. Durick, D. D., LL. D., accepted his present charge. In the person of Dr. Acceo the chapel has a hustler from a ministerial standpoint. He is fearless and daintest. Nothing is too arduous or difficult for him to undertake if he knows success is an introspective leader and a endeavor. Personified of a rare voice for sweetness and melody, he can easily capture and hold an audience. Dr. Acceo needs but one thing in his new field to insure success, that is, co-operation. If the members and friends of Bishop chapel give him the proper support and encouragement he is sure to lead his flock to victory. Acceo has the support and sympathy of the Bethel A. M. E. church of Manhattan. That there is strength in union is plainly evidenced by the many attempts the various West Indian organizations have made for consolidation. On October 16, at Suhler's Harlem River park and cation, between seven and eight hundred West Indians gathered in response to the attempt of Federated West Indian Society to take New York. This gathering took the form of a picnic which proved to be one of the most successful ever held. Among the various organizations represented were the following: West Indian Benevolent Association—the oldest West Indian association of New York, the West Indian Benevolent and Social League of Bermuda, the Danish West Indian Benevolent Association, the British Colonial Society of New York. The amalgamation of these societies into one grand organization will make it one of the largest and richest corporations in New York. The prize of the fine spring hat was offered to the cricket club showing the largest number. Several other awards among which were the Jamaican cricket club, the St. Thomas cricket club, the Spartan cricket club, the West Indian cricket club and the Bermuda cricket club. The prize was awarded to the West Indian cricket club. The presentation was made by Mr. A. J. McIntyre, curator of the CSA Geog. McDermond, of the West Indian cricket club, received the bat for the club. After the prize was awarded the grand march took place and was an inspiring sight, each organization marched behind its own banner, while large numbers of them displayed badges showing that they were members of the society. The banner of the Colonial society could the crowd, for its presence was loudly cheered every time it came in sight. Jersey City Notes. Union Thanksgiving services will be held at the Bethel A. M.

Our good friend, the editor of The Philadelphia Pilot, whom we admire for his strong character and high quality of brain, seems to be very unacasy about the policy of The Age, especially as bearing upon Brownsville. Permit us for the information of the editor of the Pilot and all others to say that three or four times in the past The Age has expressed itself on the President and his dismissal of the Negro soldiers. In our editorials, in our headlines and in our news service we have said (frankly) and unequivocally that we condemn the policy and action of the President in regard to the Afro-American soldiers, that we did not agree with him, that we felt that he had made a mistake and inflicted a grave wrong upon our race, and that in the future he would see that he had committed a hasty and wrong act. All this we have repeated over and over. Let us say for the information of The Pilot that The Age is a newspaper and not a perpetual indignation meeting. Our readers pay for the news of the week, and they pay for something fresh and timely in our editorial columns. We try to cover each week the news, and not only the news, but we try to make such comments upon this news as our judgment dictates. Having had our say upon the President and Brownsville, we shall wait for something new on this question before giving further editorial expression. We hold ourselves in a position to commend the good acts of any public official, including the President of the United States, also to condemn the mistakes of public officials. We do not believe in continually keeping the same subject before our readers. and perhaps if the editor of The Pilot would learn the same lesson his paper would have a larger circulation. The newspaper that takes an independent position and maintains it, condemning where necessary, praising where right, is much stronger and more helpful to the race than one that is tied to a continual policy of approval or a continual policy of opposition. We shall judge the President in the future as we have in the past—by his acts; taking up each act separately, condemning it when we think he is against the interests of the race, and praising it when we think it is in their interest. This is the policy that we are sure that the large and increasing number of the readers of The Act desire us to take and maintain, for it is the policy of common sense. But we must say again, so that even our Philadelphia critic will understand it, that it is not the policy of this paper or any other up-to-date publication of this character to keep the same subject continually, week in and week out, before its readers. Whenever there is another move made on the part of the President or on the part of Congress or any other responsible body or individual concerning the dismissal of the soldiers, The Act will have its editorial say as well as give the news hearing thereon. Fair Deal for Secure Schools We note, according to dispatches from the South, that representatives of the Southern Education Board are to assemble in Atlanta, Ga., December 4 and 6. Dr. E. A Alderman, of the University of Virginia, and Mr. Robert Ogden, of New York city, have sent out the call for this meeting. In connection with various officials of the Southern Education Board, the State Superintendents of Education of the Southern States, and other prominent educators have been called to meet in Atlanta on the date named Of course, we take it for granted that these invitations are not extended to any Afro-American educators, but notwithstanding this fact, there is one plain and frank word which we wish to say to the leaders of this movement. While they are assembling in Atlanta in a praiseworthy and commentable effort to help education in the South, some one ought to be strong and brave enough to call the attention of the Southern educators to the fact that Afro-American schools, especially in the rural districts, are being robbed of their rightful proportion of the school funds. We are not very far from the truth, judging by the information that has come to this office, when we affirm that where the white child is getting $10 for education, the Afro-American child gets only one dollar. This conference in Atlanta might learn something to its advantage by visiting the public schools right in the city of Atlanta and see for itself something of the difference in the provisions for the education of the white children and that provided for Afro-American children. They ought to find out by direct visits and investigation how many thousands of Afro-American children in Atlanta are kept out of the public schools because there is no room provided for them. They ought to see the fine, costly brick structures provided for the education of the white children, and then visit the disgraceful and squalid frame structures provided for the Afro-American children. While this conference is in Atlanta it might go one step further. It might inquire from the State officials how much money is actually being expended by the State of Georgia for the higher education of white children, and how much for black children. Such an inquiry would reveal the fact that the State of Georgia is expending this year quite two hundred thousand dollars for the higher education of white children when it is giving not more than five thousand dollars for the higher education of black children. This is a question which the Southern Education Board ought to face. Such strong Southern men as Mr. Edgar Gardner Murphy, Dr. E. A. Alderman and others, ought not to fail longer to perform their duty in reference to letting the South know that it ought to be more just in the distribution of the public funds. The old idea that the white man pays the greater part of the taxes should cut, no figure in this discussion. Every man is entitled to the education of his children, no matter how little tax he pays. Further than that, it is a known fact that in many parts of the South the Afro-American does not receive back even the taxes which he himself pays. Ministers in Greater New York In the olden days it used to be said of ministers in New England that when they prayed they always turned their faces toward the city of Boston, meaning that each minister in New England was longing for the day to come when he would receive a call from some wealthy church in the city of Boston. This same idea will apply very well to the average Afro-American minister in the North. Most of them have an ambition to secure a church in Greater New York. This is a worthy ambition, for there is no field north of Mason and Dixon's line that affords an opportunity for service and the display of one's talents. We are glad to state that after careful examination into the facts, we have in Greater New York at the present time, with few exceptions, the highest type of Viro-American ministers that has ever held churches in our city. There are few case-of scandal among them, there is little hurtful gossip, and as a rule, these ministers not only have the congregations, but they have the respect of confidence of their members as well as of their neighbors. While in other cities we hear much of church scandal, court trials in connection with church disturbances, in New York City for the most part we are free from all this. We highly commend our brethren of the cloth for the high standard that they have set, and we hope that nothing in the future will occur to lower the high moral and religious reputation that our ministers now sustain. Negro Nexclinta Clean Be it said to the credit of the race that such of its members who have taken a dip into the sea of fiction have given us naught but clean novels. Chas W. Chistmatt, the dean, and our bright particular star, who has given this country "The House Behind the Cedars," "The Marrow of Tradition," and "The Cosmine Woman," wrote clean narratives, and works that establish for him a prominent place, not in the list of Negro novelists, but in the list of American novelists. And also are J. McHenry Jones "The Heart of Gold," and Walter Stower's and William Anderson's "Appointed" clean novels. A reference to these is suggested by Bram Stoker's statement, the English-human long known as one of the most conservative critics of books and plays. His declaration of animosity toward prudent novels was recently delivered before the White Friars' Club in London, and if White could no small ripple of discussion. His declaration was that this abomination found, conceived novel, has real vogue both in Britain and America, and belongs to the category of pestilence that must be stamped out. We journey authors have the deepest responsibility in the matter. Every decent newspaper should exclude from its reviews mention of unclean books, and within our craft we should denounce these inside persons in season and out." Everyone who keeps in with the current publications, and especially with the novels, must realize what Mr. Stoker says is true. Hardly a book goes by that we do not find the common of the eager press a depreciation, the growing tendency to appeal to popularity by writing obscene trash. Those who are guilty have always an excuse. They say, as did William Henry Helen in reply to Mr. Stoker, that the public will always get what it wants; that if a book has some risque passages and proves popular, it is a reflection of the state of public taste. The excuse has been made that no one is going to be injured by an exposition of the weakness and foiled of humat THE NEW YORK AGE nature; that it is easy to detect the well masked in the lamb's skin. This is a plea to the mob—to those whose tastes either have been perverted or have been uncultivated. Some writers pen their purity under the guise of originality—Bernard Shaw, for instance—and then, try to justify their literary crimes by citing the popularity to which their perversions attain. Radicals can always get a large following; but what credit is there in catering to the unthinking? Literature's aim is intellectual delight, not the stirring up of animal instincts. Negro novelists have never been guilty of stirring up animal passions. Through each and every novel by one of our race runs purity, and antagonism to impurity. Charles W. Chestnut's novels are imprecations against the impure, and as "intellectual delights." as the pure ebullitions of a pure thinker they should have a place on the book-shelf of every member of the race. Every speaker at the Howard University Founder's Day, from Ambassador Bryce, of Great Britain, down, referred to Dr. Washington, and each mention called forth applause, so it is reported. Wonderful, the impression this man from Tuskegee has made upon the whole English-speaking world. And this, too, at a gathering at a school designed for higher education. What is the significant point? What lesson does it teach? Why that the man at Tuskegee, sincere in his devotion to industrial education, is recognized as one who is in perfect harmony with higher education also; that his industrial education is but a bridge built across the chasm of necessity to afford us and our children, and our children's children a safe conduct to higher education. The higher the education, the better can the work of Dr. Washington be understood and appreciated. That's a syllogism that requires no explanation. The inauguration of Dr. Thirkield as president of Howard University, to together with the celebration of the fortyth anniversary of that institution, was an occasion of unusual importance to our people, especially in the District of Columbia. All that we have read in connection with these exercises indicates that everything was conducted with decortum and proper dignity. The addresses delivered by President Roosevelt, Secretary Garfield, Mr. Carnegie, Ambassador Bryce, as well as those on the part of President Thirkield, Dr. Bowen, Hon. J. C. Napier, Dr. Patten, Dr. W. D. Crum and others, struck a high note of optimism and encouragement, and we congratulate President Thirkield and all connected with Howard University on account of this auspicious occasion. National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs One does not hear a great deal in these days about the work of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. There is a vast deal of work which this organization can render to the race and to our country. There are many local and State clubs which are doing fine and far reaching work, but the National Federation as an organization seems to be weak, for some reason, in effective work. We wonder if the officials of this organization cannot be made to realize their opportunity and their duty. The idea prevails in some quarters that the main object of the national organization is to meet once in two years for the purpose of electing officers and that little work is done by the organization except discussing the matter of who shall be president. We believe that Mrs. Lacy Thurman is the present official head of this organization, but we do not hear much of her or much of her work for the race. It is pity to wait until just a few months before the national meeting to hear what is being done or what is planned for this organization. It is all right to meet and pass resolutions in a national gathering, but far more effective in race building to work continuously every month in the year. We repeat, let the national officers of the Federation get to work If Lomber's Day at Howard University did no more than elicit the optimistic utterance of Andrew Carnegie on the race question, it was a success—brilliant success. When he arose to eak he was greeted with a spontaneous, impulsive applause. Bubbling over with enthusiasm, keyed up by the splendid singing of the university choir, taken by surprise—an unexpected guest, he lacked all that goes to make up smooth oratory, but better still, he showed real, unabashed sincerity. One sentence alone, uttered by him, made up for all absence of brilliant oratory—more than made up. That sentence was: "The problem used to be, what shall we do with the Negro. Now it's how can we get more of them?" What a tribute that to the race. It is the very essence of apprehension "How can we get more of them?" That question means that Andrew Carnegie believes, and knows, that the American Negro is the highest type of the safe, honest citizen; that he is the patriotic man in whom this country can repose implicit confidence. Andrew Carnegie, the great iron- master. Andrew Carnegie, the philan- theist; Andrew Carnegie, than whom there is no man better to judge of men. 81gn10cap. Howard University: Want More of Them. said this. Said it in the presence of the President of the United States; right beneath the dome of the nation's capital. What an inspiration that sentence should be to every young regro. What a conspiration it should be to every aged Negro who has gone through the heat of the day, gone through trials and tribulations. All honor to Carnegie. More power to him. World's Value of Brains Men are created with unequal capacities and powers, and it is beyond human ability to equalize them. Society could as effectually resolve that two and two are five. The world is exact and unerring in its estimates. It marks its valuations with as great a degree of certainty as coins are stamped in a mint. The brain force of a McCormick, which conceived the reaping machine, was greater in the results of its production than a million strong right arms which could wield the sickle. The world, therefore, made its appraisal of his product at millions of dollars, and willingly paid the obligation. The brain power, not only of inventors, but of all those who possess the ability to organize and execute, has a high valuation. The mental force that organizes, builds, and puts in operation a great railroad system is worth, perhaps, millions, because its product may be the settlement of two or three States or territories. If this-kind of force were more plentiful, the world would not put such an extravagant valuation upon it. An hundred thousand muscular bodies may be found as often as a single brain of this quality. No amount of sentiment can change these natural principles. It's the brain that possesses the force to conceive and develop and execute that commands the highest valuation. Young colored men should remember this, and in their effort to equip themselves for lifes battles, develop their brains to the highest point, no matter what trade or profession has been decided upon as the means to an end. Surface knowledge can never compete for high values, with that knowledge which is stored in the grayn matter of the man who is always determined to go to the root of things. President Roosevelt and Liberia The communication printed elsewhere in this issue indicates clearly the far-reaching wisdom and courage of the President of the United States in dealing with the interests of our people in the Republic of Liberia. Without such aid furnished at a critical moment in the part of the President, it is doubtful whether the Liberian Republic would have come out of the serious situation so fortunately as it has. We are sure that Afro-Americans are grateful to the President of our country for his timely and wise influence exerted in behalf of our brethren across the seas shown at a critical moment. The Afro American Council We are not bearing a great deal now of the work of the Afro-American Council. We trust under the leadership of Bishop Walera that this organization will not lose its opportunity to influence the race for good. There are many problems resting upon us now in which this organization can be of great service. We hope that the Bishop will not present the organization to rest on its ears until a few months before the annual meeting and then make a spurt in the way of activity. The Afro-American Council should be at work all the year, and we came directly the members of the race everywhere to stand by the Bishop and hold up his hands in his important work. The Amer- American Fr One can get a pretty thorough idea of the tremendous advancement and progress the Vito American is making in every part of this country by a careful examination of the newspaper and magazine produced by our people. Not many years ago there was less than a half dozen publications. At the present time there are over two hundred reasonablyifiable publications. These include weekly papers, several monthly magazines, and two of three quarterlies in classification they include secular weekly papers devoted to politics and general news, religious organization, beneficial and secret organizations, as well as professional publications. No one can study and read the press without being convinced of the tremendous advance indicated through it. As a whole we should be tremendously proud of the newspaper and publication outlook of our race. We note with extreme gratification the fact that a new bank under the control and auspices of Afro-Americans has been opened in the city of Philadelphia. This is a move in the right direction, and we congratulate Hon. George H. White and his co-workers on starting off this enterprise in such an auspicious manner. There is a great field for such a bank in the city of Philadelphia, and we earnestly hope that our people will stand loyally by this enterprise. This, so far as we know, is the first serious attempt at opening a bank in any of our Northern States. A bank cashier recently died from the poison absorbed from counting dirty money. The moral of this is, don't even touch the filthy thing. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 28, 1907. In the presence of the United States; right the nation's capital; that sentence young digro.

Jones had stood upon his rights as an American citizen and refused to pay the fine. The case ought to be carried to the highest courts in the land. God will not prosper the South as long as it is guilty of such uncalled for and unjustifiable injustice to members of our race. They are charging Washington school teachers with paying for their positions. Well, that's better than letting some one else pay for them. Time makes wine age, worry makes a woman age, but just the skin makes sausage. "There are people in this world who never know when they are doing well." —Washington Bee. Can it be that Editor Chase is doubtful as to his own status? "There are nearly 4,000 Afro-American voters in Cleveland," says the Cleveland Gazette. Well that's the first time Harry Smith has ever even hinted that there was anybody in the town but himself. News Item—"John Haley reported to the police that he was held up near his home by a white man and a Negro." Can this he accepted as proof that the two races are working together in harmony? "The fellows who deliver the delegates will be nearest the pie counter."—Cincinnati Enquirer. If "nearest" is all they get the Enquirer should not complain. As yet we have not heard that the colored editors had organized a syndicate to subscribe for the fifty million dollars of Panama bonds. Senator Foraker called on the President, and reported he was delighted. The senator's call was a pretty recognition of official courtesy. William Jennings Bryan likes a licking better than any man on this continent. That's why he wants to run again. Blitting-gate is never argument. Personal spite over the aim of decent journals. New York has one public servant for every 70 inhabitants. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius. Race unity is paramount to the presidency. Considering that the movements of the French on its "bunterland" and in the field of diplomacy, recently, have created a doubt whether Liberia has any yet certain prospect of a future, or indeed has any very real existence at present as an autonomous state among the world's governments, it is evident to that Liberia National Bar Association was organized there in laundry in the printed report of the public press. The societies delivered on the occasion are full of dignity, and not the burdenship of the indignation of the humour show, either. Take this rapport from the opening address of the president of the republic, Hon Arthur Barry, "In modern times, the central point of the state is law. As men grow to learn the lesson of brotherhood, we recognize the rights of individuals, and realize that religion is productive of comfort, that individual happiness is made law the central idea of statehood. True, the change from a God to a principle was slow but it was steady. The firm trend of the generations following the disappearance of the Roman Empire has been heard without ceasing all down the ages. At times the step of the multitude has passed over rough places, as at Rumamville, at the Bistille, at Bunker Hill, and at Port an Prince. But like the ever rolling sea, this trend has gone on, setting up law in the area, and making law in the state around which people have gathered and by which they have governed themselves under wise statutes of their own making." If that quality of thinking and power of expression be anything to indicate the thought and eloquence of the educated and influential classes of Liberia, it would seem that the destinies of the republic were at all events not in danger from any lack of intelligence in its ruling class leading to any misunderstanding of relations to the modern world, and to the people of Liberia and an enlightened patriarch, proving that the cultivated class at Monrovia, at least, are in touch with the events of the day throughout the world, and not only with modern events, but modern ideas, and that they are constantly at work strengthening the institutions of their little nation with a full purpose of perpetuating the Republic of Liberia. One would hardly believe to examine this curiosity of literature, that its utterance represented a more handful, variously estimated at from twenty to sixty thousand, of educated millions of Mohammedan Africans, and that they were surrounded by their tribes as many纵贯s in a little tape of territory not much larger than the State of Maine, stretching along four hundred miles of coast near the equator. The republic is sixty, this year. Few, if any, Negro readers are they who have not heard of and read after fine Stannard Haker, the brilliant magister-writer whose contributions to the Anglo-America can be found on Southern N. of problem, has made the American reading public.

The reception he gave us was cordial, not effignable, not dignified that makes just that sort of a reception, makes an man feel perfectly welcome in the presence of an exalted house. He talked the presence of an exalted house and entertained of the Negroes perfectly by his conversation that he had, and with convergent with the probity life and condition of the Negroes, he is as conditions. He showed the the fancies, the conversant with the whims, the predilections, the habilessness as with the idea of the code as with the coal-black pure desecration of Islam. Not only that, but conversant with laws, presents and presents, he asked many questions affecting the fired them with automations and richidity. We had meant to inquire him, to ask him the whis and the race problem, just for our aid in the race problem, just for our aid in the race problem, but he interviewed us just. Never did we three spend a more pleasant and profitable evening than the evening we spent with Ray Stanford Baker and the impression we carried away with us was: the race need have no fear of the real conditions of real conditions will carry with it an exasperated or impaired argument that the race itself is not responsible for this problem; that the race's great achievements of forty short years assure an ultimate proper solution; that the effect of the seed of immature plants by which the race is grown is rapidly neutralized by the refusal of that soil to longer grow postival weeds. And Mr. Bai is not only a student of the race problem in so far as it applies to our race in the country, but he is a student of it in the country and a master of its distinction in every country. Deputy Supported to Be with Prisoner Not Located. (From the Montana Constitution Fitzroy Nov. 25—There is one thing about criminal class of Bitz- gerald's population that seems to be characteristic of this city alone, and that is that no matter about the conditions surrounding the case when they are wanted here, they come, even if they have to be the officer home with them. Last Monday one of Born Hill's deputy wants to Rhine, Ga., after a Negro wanted for stealing. This day morning the Negro came in on the Seaboard train, handcuffed but alone.

He said he was locked up in the show jail all night for feeling like a fool. He was deputy density in June for the Fitzgerald train in the morning, but when it came time for the train to start, he couldn't find his deputy neither could any one else so he got on the train and came on. He wanted his cuffs off, but it was found that the only key that would un- lock them was wanderer around with the deputy and he was obliged to wear his cuffs until the deputy showed up in the city.

Parents of speech Boundary at New York Boron, Mass. November 10.—While there are serious and separating elements connected with our Southern situation, still at the same time, no one can live right in the heart of the South from the dences of most antifactory programs as a result of the education of both classes. During the past year, the most encouraging and striking evidence of programs is to be noted in the almost multifaceted group of the South. I question whether in all history there has been any movement in favor of temperance that equals that which has now, taken hold of the people of the South. In my opinion, going right now in any way is now being done means a long forward step in the working out of our real problem. A large proportion of the difficulties that have occurred in the past with whisky has got into ignorant and bad people. When you mix ignorance with bad whisky you will be sure to have a difficulty, whether the individuals are black or white. Most of the prochances of such which have been the result of whisky and ignorance. Almost without exception the educated black men and women are co-operating with the best class of people in the South. Many of the Tundra gee Institute graduates are leaders in the temperance movement. I think I do not exaggerate when I predict that within two years, with the exception of two of our States, I do not want anyone anywhere in the South. Already, as you know, Georgia will have State white prohibition after January 1st. There are two or three countries in Alabama who have it, and the majority in favor of prohibition almost six to one. Not a single county which has voted in Alabama within the past few months has gone in favor of whiskey. Nine-tenths of the counties have it, and within the prohibition after Christmas, and within a few months, it is safe to say that the whole State will be under the prohibition law. The rank and file of the people are lack of this punishment. It is not a movement placed upon mere sentiment or hysteria, but the people have thoroughly thought it out, have planned for it and are determined that nothing in the whole movement that is hard to understand. It has come about, seemingly, with no special planning, without any special leadership, or the expenditure taken thoroughly hold of the people. Individually discuss it cautiously in the streets, on the cars, and in all kinds of gatherings. It is the uppermost subject in the minds of the public, in my opinion, the law will be enforced where prohibition laws are enacted. "In distress our people have turned to immigration as a proper solution. The experiment has been tried and proved a failure. Rather than flood our country with a foreign population, we have instead settled conditions of life around them, rather let us use the labor we have which has grown us for so many years, and has grown up under our present civilization. True, their relations have been changed to us, but we have it all power to this by a compulsory law of education." I have referred to two classes of Negroes in the South. I would not be just and frank unless I added that there are also two classes of white people who have it all power to this by a compulsory law of education. I grant there are a class who make a great deal of noise, we talk about pressing and keeping the Negroes down, but there is another class that does not exist and is not acted as any class to be found here in the North or anywhere. In proportion as this class of white people respect us, we are going to have different conditions existing in the South. Work of spreading and deepening education must be continued through such institutions as Tuskegee, Hampton and many others. You ask how can you help us? Our nudes are as follows. The most pressing ones are: 1. $50 a year for annual scholarships for the training of one student a year. 2. $1000 a year for students. 3. Money for current expenses in any amounts, however small. 4. The increase of the endowment fund to at least $3,000,000. I am more and more confident that our work will prosper and continue to grow in usefulness just in proportion as we continue to pursue a policy of keeping our students in the face of zero people by closely studying and seeing that our educational efforts respond to their needs and condition. To give you an idea of the admiration of the teachers in the direction of our help, I wish to state that the study in attendance at the Tukeague Just last year paid $41,000 toward the pensions in cash, aside from what they received in the form of money where the Tukeague Institute is lo colored people in the country di raised $2,700 toward the improve their school homes and the extent their school homes last year.

It is now nation, and the six- number, 1907, will be naims of American on account of the method of Federal lairest portions of but also, because fantastic wedlock of the red man and The ceremony was witnessed and the event acclaimed by a vast multitude, amid pump and display before unknown to this verdant prairie country. Except in two striking instances, all differences, disappointments and partisan bitterness were overwhelmed by the flood of wild, yet ardent and robust enthusiasm which swept over the streets of Guthrie and thence out upon the plain whose area encroaches seventy thousand square miles. The exceptions were not without significance and constituted a pathetic and almost tragic scene in the otherwise pleasing act which closed the drama. From 1889, when the first signal shot was fired announcing the opening of Oklahoma for settlement, so the signing of the oath of office by Governor Haskell, the struggle for settlement had been highly dramatic—a drama in which all the elemental forces that enter into the makeup of a conglomerate political community had exerted themselves, so that it is not surprising when if deplorers and climax should have been tapped with what is not conanton with the happy fulfillment of a people's hope. Implacable bitterness which ambitious rivalry for control often leaves in the hearts of men, and sublimated meanness, which generations of oppressive measures beget in those accustomed to domination, have mocked the mercilessness the glory of many state papers. Governor Grantz, the king executive of the Territory of Oklahoma, was an absent figure in the statehood ceremonies, and a hundred and fifty thousand or more citizens who have been uprightly in the development of the infant state had no part or place in the epoch-making event. The day seemed especially fashioned for the occasion—a warm, genial sunshine streaming from a faultless sky bathed the earth and the currents which flew ceaselessly over the prairie but just enough crispiness to both sustain and temper the tension of enthusiasm the day, the crowd was surgingingly genial. It was, of course, hilarious and care-free, but exceedingly good natured. On its outer rim there were no need, while the day was young, once faces with winking eyes of the memories and bitter strife of the past and the lack of vision to penetrate the veil of the future, but as the day waxed and no bitter note was struck these faces, too, broke little by little into cheerful smiles. When the day was done and the pump and circumstance of the noontide were becoming phantom of the memory, the fact dawned on the devotees of Bacchus that the night offered the last opportunity for celebrating their merry rites and encircling the hall of Pandeminium, both as the streets of Githurth may witness again for twenty-one years, least, for as the stroke of twelve o'clock midnight sounded over the city the gold of wine yielded his way to the goddess of Temperance. When early in the day the message came hurting over the wire that President Roosevelt had proclaimed Oklahoma a sovereign State, bedlam broke loose, in all the beliefs and engine houses of the capital city and the multitude upon the streets took up the noise, intensifying it with shouts, pistol firing and all the nerve-wracking devices at their command. Then there was a great surging of the strong from all direction toward the Carnegie Library building where the ceremony of installation of officers chosen by the people was to take place and from the steps of which government officials had been realized, the people turned with mingled curiosity and enthusiasm to hear the message of their chief executive. There is no denying that the personality of Governor Haskell dominated the occasion, and by political foe and friend alike greater interest was manifested in what he said than in the fact of statehood. In the subjects with which he dealt and in the manner of their treatment, the inaugural speech took the people by surprise. It was not the modest stooltory which might be expected to usher into being an infant state draped in the swaddling clothes of experiment. Rather it was what you might not be surprised to hear at this time from the governor of one of the old time charter States which has buffeted the stress of conflict and storm. You were made to realize as you listened that he who spoke, whatever the merit of his creed or logic, had been trained upon a field of contentless virgin than the new prairie and had measured lance in political debate with masters of the art. The governor of the new-born State dealt broadly and vehemently with the subjects of bureaucratic rule as illustrated by our scheme of territorial government, State's rights and the limitations of the Federal Government and especially of the powers of Congress, and executive prerogative; interstate commerce, control of corporations and finance, and his sweeping rhetoric, sarcastic tropes and caustic thusts held-spell-bound the startled and breathless throng of listeners. Of bureaucratic government he said: "In its course through the day the sun will have lighted the pathway of a million and a half people emerging from the disorder and the discontent of bureaucratic government, restricted to point of helplessness and neglected the limit of onpression, into a condition of liberty and self-government. . . . Appointive officers from the day long prior to King Edward Hk. to modern days of Ethan Allen, The Worst, have been a failure, and a bright and occasional star upon the payroll has always been the welcome exception, but never equal to the desires of free citizenship, but to the desires of coveterous worst is enough to fit any people for the most enthusiastic appreciation of its exit." Oklahoma was proclaimed a State when the President was convinced that her constitution conformed in every respect with the terms of the enabling act which provided for her admission. This fact compled with the universal interest as present taken in the question by Gov. Haskell's utterances anent the powers of Congress and the Federal Government interesting. In this connection he said: "We recognize that the several States of the Union are the indissoluble units of natural existence from which every power that the Federal Government has must be derived. These States are the source of all power. . . Congress had the power to fix the date when Oklahoma might enter the Union; it had no authority to fix any terms other than those of absolute equality." A little later he added: "It is with regret that we notice a disposition on the part of soe some high authority to take possession of the Constitution of the United States itself even a little thing to be used when it meets the duty of its executor and to be conquered and bended when at variance with his will. And I say to you, my fellow citizens, that there is no more dangerous practice to be tolerated in any public officer, I care not whether he bend it for a good or for a bad purpose, than to assume the right to construe the Constitution from time to time to meet his own desires." Governor Haskell call to see but little benefit to be derived from what he describes as the "spectacular" fine of $29,000,000 recently imposed upon the Standard Oil Company and he recommends that something real be done in the direction of imprisoning responsible officers of offending corporations. He questions whether anything in the shape of permanent reform has yet beet achieved and upon this point spoke words whose intended application is not hard to understand. He said: "We have but to look around us, we weigh our own experiences of recent years and the conclusion is inevitably upon us that we have gone through a whole aure of years deluded by words simply words! but not blessed by needs or action. Fully do we bless that one, mad with the military display, for the ringing sound of fierce declaration, unmindful of the value of a dollar, whether the dollar be in his private pocket or the public treasury, naturally leads our country to the very brink of commercial destruction." It was quite natural that some reference should be made to the present financial situation. The depression is general and has in many ways seriously crippled commercial efforts, but it has perhaps nowhere been felt more kenly than in Oklahoma where the great work of crop moving has practically stopped for the lack of money. The banks are scared with the people's enemies them or where the nation cannot get it. The institution has not tended to increase the popularity of Eastern bankers and their methods out here, as they and their methods are understood or misunderstood, so that, whatsoever may be the connection between the Eastern bankers and the New York stock exchange, the remedy which the governor proposed was cheered to the echo "You can," he said, "look for immediate relief wherever you please, when you fill of looking elsewhere, will agree with me that the best road to financial health is close the New York stock exchange, and free the currency that it dominates and turn it into the channels of legitimate commerce." In the future political contests of Oklahoma the Indian will take part as a voter and will become a reckonable factor. Politicians here recognize this and few politicians are more shrewd than the governor of Oklahoma. The constitution of Oklahoma was drafted by Democrats who had a majority in convention close to a hundred and over the Republican party in the provisions. And Document which they up on the Indian is put upon a plane of absolute equality of rights and privileges, civil, political, social, with white men. Many of the members of that convention were what in those parts they call "squaw men" white men with Indian wives and some valuable act of land in consequence. Every protection, therefore, was thrown about the Indian as though he was a vested interest. Governor Haskell's message, calculated to please the court, and he has taken away with his vote band of Indian orphans by the governor's arrangement furnished the chief principle for the inaugural occasion and were graciously complimented at the beginning of the governor's address whoseoration ended thus: It means the flag means more to Oklahoma than it does to any other State. With us its colors are emblematic of our facts. It reminds us that the State of Oklahoma is the first of all the States of the Union carved out of an area the property of the native American without having driven the original American owners from its borders or harm them because the added pride in the flag of the country We find the white strip emblematic of the white race, we find the stripes of red emblematic of the red race and uniting them beneath the field of azure blue we join heart and hand the red and the white man, in color glory, glory! Long live Oklahoma. bombs the mythmakers will now doubtless put aside the story of Jefferson's quartered shield and generations to come may have a reasonable explanation of the origin of the colors. At any rate the occasion was full of inspiration and fancy they well be allowed at this late day to embellish the crime perpetrated in 1854 by Andrew Jackson, the greatest Democrat of them all. J. L.

SMART SET TEAM WINS. On Wednesday evening, November 20, at Knickerbacker Basketball Court, Gates and Knickerbacker avenues, Brooklyn, occurred the second basketball game of the Olympian Athletic League, the contesting teams being the Smart S. S. C. and the Marathon. The Marathonos having strengthened their team in many respects since the game with the St. Christopher Club, appeared on the court with an air of utmost confidence, and it seemed well-founded, as their rapid improvement was notable to all, and even though they were in future games. The Smart Set team entered immediately after, and no sooner found the ball been tossed. Sap by the referee than the game at one besame sharp and decisive: the members of both teams working with spindled motion, being quite notwithstanding the blockade of the Marathon five, the Smart Set scored 153 in the first half. Earle Smith again exhibited his qualities as a good player, but Scottron's cleverness and Moore's tact could not be offset by the Marathon guard's quickness and the very fast merits contested against him, though he is included to believe his head is a potent factor in the game.

Wilson, a Former Brooklyn- based artist of a Chicago Musical Institute. It will be of interest to New Yorkers generally and Brooklynites particularly to know that Dr. Hyland Emile Wilson, who has recently received the degree of doctor of music and who has been appointed president of the New York conservatory of music and art in Chicago, is a Brooklyn young man. Hyland Emile Wilson was born in Syracuse, N. Y., December 8, 1879. At the age of 10, he, with his parents, came Brooklyn and took in music. At an early age, Hyland showed an adaptation for music, whereupon he was placed under the tutorship of the best music teachers. Being of an unusually young age, he began grappling the study of music all of its complexities. Prof. Scudder, of Newark, N. J., was his first teacher, and proved a very effective teacher. Mr. Wilson was organist for several years of the Brooklyn churches and played for orchestras and various associations. In Europe he studied music under some of the masters of Germany. When he returned to America he was appointed to a clerkship in the post office of New York, which he resigned to accept the position of Boston's White Robed choir of City City. In order to further perfect himself in the study of music he entered the New York conservatory of music and art of music, and graduated as a musician of rare talent, recognition of which the recent honor of being made president of the institution was conferred upon him, a distinction which is rarely attained by an Afro-American, is most liberal in its commendation of him and the excellence of his services. In 1894 he was united in marriage to Miss Thomsone Williamson, a very enamored and energetic young woman, a school and the training school of Brooklyn. Two bright little girls bless their union. Dr. Hyland Emile Wilson is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Wilson, of New York, and enjoys the distinction of being one of the few Afro-Americans employed as engineers in the public schools of Brooklyn. The race generally should take pride in Dr. Wilson's high position in the music world, and closely associated with him should give him their heartiest support. Wedding Anniversary.

Notes requires us from Denver, Colorado, of the enervation and reinvestment of Brother William A. Rice, Rice Lodge, No. 39, in September, which was attended by a remarkable demonstration on the part of the Antlers of Colorado. Brother Rice made a brief address, in which he thanked the lodge for consideration and justice, praised the course of the membership and expressed his confidence in the future of the fraternity in Denver. Having shown all the consideration for this element, other phases of history may now be considered. Rice Lodge, No. 39 was conceived, organized and instituted by Brother Rice several years ago, bearing his name in honor of that fact. Brother Rice has the reputation of being a communate and tactful Antler. He served as State Deputy and Organizer under the parent body for some three years with honor and efficiency. Also served faithfully as Exalted Ruler and Secretary, respectively, of Rice Lodge two years or more. He has the experience of leadership and the knowledge of fraternal organization in his favor. He has been studying Elk history and practice from its infancy for the past two years with a thoroughness perhaps never approached by any Antlers of the fraternity. The actions of Rice Lodge is highly creditable and effective, and we picture pleasant future relations of Brother Rice and his straightforward, sympathetic constituency in Colorado, also the fraternity. The reinstatement letter reads thus: Denver, Colorado, September 22, 1907. Mr. William A. Rice, Dear Brother: WM. A. RICE "We, Rice Lodge, No. 30, after careful consideration, find that we have done you an injustice, and are quite sorry we caused you the humiliation through which you have gone. And wish to apologize for your untimely expulsion from Rice Lodge, No. 30, and you are hereby reinstated by a unanimous vote of the Lodge. Fraternally yours (signed) Henry J. M. Brown, Exalted Ruler, W. C. Allison, Secreta- The following is gleaned from Brother Rice's recent communication relative to his exoneration: I feel deeply grateful for the cordial reception and exoneration given me by Rice Lodge, No. 39. It far exceeds in its warmth anything I expected, and I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude and satisfaction. From the first I have had full confidence in the simplicity and temperament of the constituency of Rice Lodge to do me justice, a confidence which has been justified by its actions. I have yet to see or hear a single member who does not apparently feel a full sense of the responsibility of his duties towards me and his constituents, and I am sure that conservatism, rather than radicalism, will continue to mark the official conduct of Rice Lodge, No. 39. What I previously expressed to you at Chicago, has confirmed my opinions regarding this matter, and I have frequently expressed the same to members of my Lodge. in our fraternal notes of the Elks, published in THE NEW YORK AGE, September 10, 1909, we desire to make a correction regarding the appointment of the "Arbitration Committee of Three." The phrases "his endorsement or rejection" is an error occasioned by notes hastily made during the convention at Chicago by the undersigned. An error of the pen and not an error of the heart. It should have read, "A committee of three were appointed on arbitration to meet a similar committee from the parent body, and to report their findings and conclusions to the Grand Lodge for its endorsement or rejection." We trust that this statement will awaken sympathetic cooperation to such an extent that a "powwow" or other timely receptions of no mean proportions will cuse between the two great bodies of Afro-American Elkdom. Rice Lodge has set a beautiful precedent to follow, and such a step at this time would be of incalculable benefit to our financial and fraternal interests. As a champion of the cause of reconciliation and centralization, we are not seeking office of any kind, and shall be conspicuous by our absence during the reorganization of a unified fraternity by delegates assembled for that great purpose. But our sympathies and support all always be conducted in the sole interest of the centralized organization of the leaders or its official plan for the administration unity should recognize the ties that are operating in old and the particular work is undertaking to do. After a study of present conditions at fraternity, we have selected its at which, our judgment is we and would bring largest and now we are conducting three lines of activity for the best interest of the Order. (1) In the interest of unity, let our leaders develop strong centers of activity, so administered as to stimulate local effort in behalf of a united fraternity. (2) The purpose is, not to check the rising influence of grateful co-workers, but to help it grow and continue into vigorous independent life and commanding position. v of the writer is to which may be help- ful over large areas of Elidom. Our purpose in the past has been to co-operate as for an菩萨 with the established authorities of Elidom in awakening a more active key interest in fraternal matters, in concentrating public attention on our success as an Order, its immediate needs, and in organizing local agencies for effective fraternal work for publication. We have, through the columns of The New York App, reached an appreciable consistency, and we truly trust to reach others in the near future. This work, while touching fraternal education helpfully at every point, is directed especially toward the immediate reconciliation and active centralizing co-operation. Seeking by all fair means to promote and to extend among our race that type of duty which is best exemplified in the recent actions of Rice Lodge, No. 1 at Denver, Colorado. We have been assured that the committees have not as yet matured its plans in detail, but it has been decided that at any early date activities are to begin in the interest of all concerned. As the two bodies now stand, they are conducting a great multiplicity of subordinate lodges in the interest of the two Grand Lodges which is diverting concentrated public interest in the stability of the organization. This deplorable condition of affairs ought to be supplemented immediately by reconciliation and centralization of the parent and offspring bodies. It is a curious fact to notice that both bodies are incorporated under the same name and title in different States of the Union. Scalping must cease or we perish under the sting of egotism, radicalism and blind' iniquity. Can we do it unselfishly, honestly and fraternally? Our motto in this cause is and shall ever be, "Glory be to God on high, and on earth, peace to men." Brother Deputy Exalted Ruler E. Burton Cerutti, of No. 32, made an official visit to Manhattan Lodge, No. 45 on the fourth. Deputy Cerutti was given the usual ritualistic honors illumination to that important office in the fraternity. After which, he explained the necessity and purpose of the Grand Lodge incorporation in the State of New York. Manhattan Lodge, with an ever attentive car, listened with pleasure to the scholarly discourse on the importance of such a movement, and graciously endorsed the actions of Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, by appropriating their pro rata share for the furtherance of the legal status of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. in the Empire State. The undersigned was the proud recipient of a beautiful solid gold Elks' pin by Brooklyn Lodge at their last meeting, presented by Brother Benjamin Williams, chairman Board of Trustees, who, by concise congratulatory remarks, gave the pin to Brother Exalted Ceruti for presentation. Brother Ceruti explained the endcavers of the recipient in words of praise and congratulation. We appreciate t kindly. It is rumored that the Ladies' Auxiliary reception and entertainment held November 7, at Summer Hall, cleared over $200. Much praise is due those who had immediate charge of the entertainment, and Brooklyn Lodge will entertain the ladies at a special benefit, December 30, at Summer Hall. It being the fourth anniversary of Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, a grand time is expected. The event will not be public. November 4. Manhattan Lodge, No 45, were pleasantly surprised by three prominent Antlers of their Forest, pre-coming to their brothers, Daniel Gant, O. A. Carroll and H. Lismington, who presented the hodge with a hand-maiden and costly Bible. They were recipients of fraternal praise and recognition by a popular standing view of appreciation. Manhattan Lodge will hold its memorial service Sunday afternoon, December 1, at St Mark's church, in West 53rd street, Brooklyn Lodge, No 32, at the Fleet street, A M. E. Zon church on Bridge street, Brooklyn, in the evening, Brother Key F. M. Jacobs, pastor, Brother John F. Terry, master of ceremonies, and Brother Raymond A. Wilson, organist, W.

Nov. 14-31 The last quarterly meeting for 1907 of the Baptist Young People's union of Brooklyn was held with the Young People's association of the Concord Baptist church on Thursday evening of last week and was represented by a large delegation of workers from the various white associations in the district. Encouraging reports were read by the delegates covering the year's work. The period of the session known as workers' conference was highly profitable to those present, the movement in old age among Baptist workers being started in Rochester, N. N., as far back as 1907. In recent years, however, many Baptist churches maintain both Young People's unions and a Christian Endeavor society weekly and on Sunday. The pastor's special committee of the Concord Baptist church held an interesting social meeting in the upper room of the church on Thursday evening of last week for the purpose of meeting the members and spending a social hour.

Wiley, and for remarks by N. B. Dodson. Every member of the church may become a member of this committee by paying the sum of three cents on joining and three cents a month dues.

Dixon presiding. The speaker was the Roy. Samuel H. Bishop, D. D. of Manhattan. Dr. H Bishop's life of thought did not take well with the audience on account of his himself preference to the liberty and privileges of the race in entering into and dealing with the material things of life. The address was rather cringing and distracting. It is rather late for Mr. Bishop to undertake to sidetrack the ambition of the race in their endeavor to make a place for themselves in the business world. As to the matter of social equality, we want no more of it than that which is asserained any other race in plain every day host, new life. Dr. A. K.

Y., died in that city at the age of 61 years, in a child care and a field while at Rockskill for five weeks, followed by pneumonia, and the combination, on account of a weakened system, proved fatal.
