An connection with the program a special Thanksgiving dinner was served at the church fair. The fair has opened this year with great success. The past week the fair will be attended, and will continue this week. Last Sunday morning the Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. church, preached an interesting discourse "On Some Essential Things of a Christian's Life." Dr. Brooks began by saying that there are two questions of importance to-day: questions of conscience and questions of law and order. He said the question is asked concerning the Christian playing cards; continuing he said while there was no special law about card playing it was a question of conscience. Referring to questions of law and order Dr. Brooks said: "Such divine laws The Lord salt not steal" are direct from God, and if we disobey we know the consequence." Dr. Brooks said it was essential for the Christian at all times to set the proper example for our less forunate brother. Last Thursday evening a special Thanksgiving entertainment was held at the Y. W. C. A. building. The evening was known as gentlemen's night and a large gathering of young gentlemen was present. Refreshments were served and the evening was thoroughly enjoyed by the members.

The program was unique, being one of the host of the year. The song service was good. The invitation extended to visiting young men to give three-minute addresses was offered, and several spoke. The address of the afternoon was delivered by the Rev. L. G. Gordon, D. D., traveling secretary of the Foreign Mission Society. His address was instructive and well received. He spoke on the great need of service among the Africans, and the progress that has been made there. In connection with the address one of the most captivating numbers on the program was the sweet and charming singing by the New York Fire Brigade led by Mr. Marsh. It was the first appearance of the quartette, and the rendition of their selections completely won the audience. They made a lasting impression at the association. Last Saturday evening the third annual Thanksgiving dinner, under the auspices of the Bible class, occurred at the building. The occasion was an enjoyable event.

Bowles presided at the meeting. In the last issue the work of Prof. William L. Bulkley in the field of education in this city among the educated population was mentioned. Since the opening of the evening industrial school many a neglected education has been mended. The evening school, 67, affords an ample opportunity to make up for neglected time in reference to education. It is interesting and encouraging to see the earnest body of men and women who go night after night to this unique institution that is doing so much for the community. It ranks among the most successful educators in the country. Some of the subjects taught are stenography and typewriting, bookkeeping, English grammar and composition, arithmetic spelling, embroidering and dressmaking. It will be remembered that the dressmaking class of evening school No. 67 presented Miss Alice Roosevelt, now Mrs. Longworth, the daughter of the President, a beautiful tablecloth made by the dressmaking class. The opening of evening school 67 in this city marked a new advance in education. The twenty-fifth anniversary of St. Mark's Lyeum continues to be the talk of the town. The occasion is to be a unique one in the history of the Lyeum. The wide influence of the Lyeum assists splendid education for the first university. The program is to be extraordinary. The Mirror, the Lyeum paper, has been enlarged and now sells for two cents. Editor John E. Robinson is working very hard for the interest of the paper. Mr. W. Henry Thomas, the local dramatist, will begin his season of dramatic entertainments January 3 at the Hotel Macao. This will be the fourth annual recital of Mr. Thomas, and should be a success. Mr. Thomas is a splendid amateur and ranks well among the most successful of promising playwrights. Mr. Thomas usually well attended. Mr. Thomas has written several interesting plays. The literary society of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church in East St. street, is a flourishing condition. Some interesting discussions are held at the meetings which are well attended. Some of the workers of the society are Mr. Sutton, Miss Delphino and Miss Blevins. Among the successful barbers of this society are Mr. Wells and Harden, W. W. Hart, Wineglass, Young & King. Further reference to the barbers and their shops will be reported in our next issue. We are pleased to note the improved conditions among the colored population of 53d street, 136th street, 66th street, 99th street and East 56th street.

NEWARK, Dec. 3.--Among the host of friends of Dr. Wendell P. G. Uriling a large number were his welcoming guests at the celebration of his 31 Wright street. The occasion was the second birthday anniversary of his infant daughter, Mary Ursula Uriling, also the induction of his friends to a housewarm- ing, and the reunion of his guests on his selection and purchase of a residence located among those who would, if they could, deny to colored citizens the freedom of citizenship rights to live, move and act as others Baby Urling was not forgotten by her older friends, as many serviceable tokens were left for her, as she felt that her older to retire had arrived before the little were turned up fully. The friends enjoyed music after which Caterer Harvey and his attendants were kept busy while they served an appetiting repeat of good things. Among those present were: Dr. James A. Wormley and wife, Rev. W. R.丹 and wife, Justice J. H. E. Scotland counselor George J. H. E. Scotland wife, Dr. M. McKernoy, Mr. Mass., Dr. W. H. Sutherland, A. Smith, Orange; Prof. P. J.

There have been many false humors to as why I left the all-admired the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company was; because I desired to help the brokerage business for myself, as I saw it was a great field for someone with experience and a knowledge of the business; so I gramped the opportunity. Recarding the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, was the greatest plans of any concern of the controlled by our people and is certainly doing a great good for the race and I further believe it ought to have the hearty support of every member of the race.

Negro Building at the Jamestown Exposition GREAT ELECTION FIGHT Must Be Made on Tuesday to Rid Boston of Fitzgeraldism-Allston and Hibbard Choice of the People. Bostox, Dec. 3.—Boston is rotten and reeking in municipal maladministration. This the present city head in the person of the Democratic candidate for re-election to the mayoral position admits, as he is forced to by the avalanche of startling revelations that have engulfed the city ever since the State investigation committees began their work last spring. For this horrifying condition of affairs Mayor Fitzgerald disclaims all responsibility, but says they are the natural consequences of the "old system and regime" at present in vogue at City Hall. Not as a possible beneficiary under any administration in Boston, but as a friend, merely, of good government, your correspondent feels it his duty to respond to the call to repudiate this rottenness, to advocate a change from the old system, as the present administration that it has left and therefore can't break through the old regime, and especially to point out the fallacies of the base, unworthy appeals of this regime's dominant colored supporters. The black flag of the 'Brownsville ghouls' has again been raised and in the tempest of their tepot is being flapped frantically, yet vain, to blind the colored voter to the real and deeper issues of the campaign. In every campaign from that for governor down to the present councilman and mayorality fight, and including the campaign for district attorney for Smuffoll county, the Brownsville issue has been dragged in where there has not been a semblance of instification and peltiment significance to its injection. At each time the race is contested and passion of the vote have been thus adroitly appealed to by these designing, venal politicians that they might fatten on the pre-election pie and crumbs that they look to fall from the political counter. Just so has it been in this case. The Democratic Negroes with tithing palms have attempted to befuddle the mind of the black voter by mischirming the true and significant issue of good government between Boston's most successful postmaster and her present unsuccessful mayor with "Remember Brownville." The false note they strike is unmistakeable when only repeated. It is now demanded by the purified nation that the colored state should reluke the President for his misinche in the Brownville matter by voting down their tried and true friend, George A. Hilbard, and by continuing the old regime at City Hall. This is nonsense for other than these obvious reasons. First of all, Brownville is in Texas while Boston Negro citizens have to pay the ever-increasing tax rate in taxes and rent in Massachusetts. This in its far and wild cry is literally chopping off your nose to spite your own face, and, secondly, in the general nonpartisan assertion from the standard office and territory from Brownville, the comparatively small Negro vote not only should not but cannot possibly save the day for his worst enemy, had government. Certain B is that if Brownsville could have any significance in a Boston municipal election this is not the time, when as the regular candidate of the Republican party we have a Boston boy, born and bred in the south end and never yet failing in tangible evidences of his same and wholesome friendship for the black man, the friendship of Bitzgerald for his colored brother is the burden of the song of the stump speakers because he himself, they say, has suffered the sting of race prejudice. They point with pride to the three colored men given, good MARVILAND INDUSTRIAL FAIR Exhibition Under Manus a Revolution of Race Achievement. BALMORE, Dec. 3. The State Industrial fair of the colored people of Maryland and Baltimore, being held under the auspices of the Most Worshipful United Grand Lodge of Mamona, was formally opened at the Centre Market hall last night by Mayor Mhool. Some of the foremost citizens of Baltimore were on hand, and they congratulated the promoters on showing they have made industrial and educational, exhibits on display. The gathering was called to order by G. L. H. Smith, Grand Master of the Masonic lodge, who made the opening address. The first speaker stated that the Nerones are not standing still, but, on the contrary, are making great strides in the race of life. "We want to encourage the colored people of the State to own their own land and to do what we can, this so-called race question, and thereby cultivate the best kind of relations with our white citizen. By legranding to be mechanics and farmers we do more toward assuming our right position in society, and by making out a whole lifetime of theoretical quibble which has never got us anything." City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, of the 17th ward, was next presented and was given a great surprise by the Lord Nerones had been restored, he, on behalf of the Grand Lodge of Masons, welcomed Mayor Mahool, ex-Mayor General F. C. Latrobe, Mr. William F. Lucas and one hundred of the most prominent white residents of the most prominent who had come to see the colored people of the State had accomplished. Mayor Mahool was the first speaker and he congratulated the colored people on what they have been able to do and showing made with the various exhibitions he had and both the Mayor and ex-Mayor were enthusiastically received by the concourse of people who gathered around the stand. The exhibits are educational and industrial and to persons unfamiliar with the exhibitions and to the public. The most pretentious exhibit is from the colored school at Cheltenham. The exhibit takes up more space than any other. Products of the school farm, the school garden and the rooms make the Cheltenham exhibit one of the most instructive seen in Baltimore for some time. The Industrial Home for Colored Girls, at Melvale, Md., is also conspicuous by its culinary exhibit. The white man of Baltimore was made to water as he looked at some of the deities. Isaac Brown, of Chestertown, has one of the largest individual exhibits. Brown's work with discarded cigar boxes was a revelation to many. With his homely material he has managed to create all kinds of useful articles for the kitchen. He has made a knife box, a suit case, a hot-plate holder fashioned life an auto mobile, spice-boxes and many other articles appreciated by a good cook. FIREMEN NEED AID.

A NEW PAGE OF HISTORY ON HAMPTON ROADS Negro Department of Jamestown Exposition a Monument to Thomas Junius Calloway AN EXPOSITION WITH A PURPOSE IN VIEW The Emergency and the Man—Bird's-Eye Glimpse of the Massive Productions of the Race's Brains, Brown and Public Spirit—President Reevevelt's Congratulations—Agriculture, the Industries, Manufactures and Fine Arts. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 30.—The closing scenes of the Jamestown Exposition which are being enacted, make all that it has embraced a subject of special interest at this time. Much has been heard of the Negro Department, and the story of how it was ushered into existence, how it was carried on to a successful finish, and what was accomplished by reason of its being, will be welcome intelligence to the people everywhere. Calloway was pressed into service. He accepted the assignment, under special detail from the United States Government, and book hold of the work with a vim and determination that allowed no obstacles, however serious, to stand between him and victory. These invincible qualities, coupled with an inherent talent for generalship, the tactful dealing with all kinds and conditions of humanity and the happy knack of getting the most out of every situation, were the main contributory elements to the triumph that now, in its closing Without doubt, the Negro Building and the infinite variety of exhibits contained therein has attached more widespread comment than any other single phase of American development presented in the historic, romantic and pictureque aggregation on the shores of Hampton Roads. The scene was as for the Negro as for the Caucasian, for there the Negro three centuries ago had his beginnings on this continent, and there he could most dramatically display his progress from that darksome day to the enlightened era of freedom and civic advancement in which we now live. Differ as men may, touching the status of the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition as a whole, all agree that the display made by the Negro department has been a proud to testify that it has faithfully and impressively portrayed the remarkable progress of this people who landed as African slaves on that very spot a little less than three hundred years ago. To have painted such a luminous picture, through the employment of crystallized ideals and the assembling of actual products, illustrative of the intellectual, economic and moral uplift of ten millions of living souls, scattered over an area as vast as the continent itself, was no easy task—as those familiar with the circumstances will readily concede. To begin with, empty hands and build up such an enterprise from the ground up, was a stupendous undertaking. To have brought form and color out of a shapeless mass, order out of chaos, and to have so signally succeeded in making the concrete evidences of the awakening of the sometime despised Negro, the premier exhibit of the entire curriculum, where he is but four decades removed from chituel slavery, in competition with a people incomparably opulent and resourceful, is an achievement that ranks well to the fore in the annals of American history. That the head and front of the system by which this miraculous feat was accomplished is himself a Negro, is a second marvel that cannot fail to challenge the admiration of the civilized world and give the race legitimate cause for felicitating itself upon the possession of such a constructive genius. It is an axiom as old as the hills that Providence never creates an emergency without providing a man to meet it. The present instance has not proven an exception to that time-honored rule. The man for this emergency was Thomas Junius Calloway. His fitness for the test exemplified the exceptional splepid results that have flown out from his patient, painstaking and farseeing labors. Thomas Junius Calloway, chairman of the Executive Committee in charge of the administration of the affairs of the Negro department, is a native of Eastern Tennessee. He first saw the light August 12, 1866, just as the nation was emerging from the throes of the terrible civil conflict which had liberated the bondmen and inaugurated a new life in a Republic. He was educated a Fisk University, Nashville, one of the very best schools in the country, and was graduated therefrom in 1889. He taught in a high school at Evansville, Ind., for a time, after which he was successively principal of a normal school in Arkansas, assistant to Principal Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, and president of Alcorn College in Mississippi. While holding the latter position, he was made State Commissioner for the Negro Department of the War Department. Later, he entered the War Department, where D. C. and was rapidly promoted until he was entrusted with assignments of the most difficult and technical character. While in Washington, he studied law at Howard University and became a member of the bar of the District of Columbia. In 1900, by direction of President McKinley, he was made special commissioner to the Paris Exposition, to collect material and data to show at Paris the progress of the American Negroes. In pursuit of the duties of this position he traveled extensively, exhibited attracted wide attention from European statesmen, scholars and social economists. It was freely acknowledged to be a valuable historical study and was awarded seventeen gold, silver and bronze medals. It is not strange, then, that when the United States Government had made an appropriation of $100,000 to aid Negro people to make an adequate play of their progress in c with the Jamestown Ter-Cente position, and a man of exper demonstrated executive capa needed to insure the proper re PRICE, 5 CENTS OF HISTORY HAMPTON ROADS Nostown Exposition a Menus Junius Calloway A PURPOSE IN VIEW Bird's-Eye Glimpse of the Massive Brake, Brown and Public Spirit Motions—Agriculture, the Industries, Calloway was pressed into service. He accepted the assignment, under special detail from the United States Government, and took hold of the work with a vim and determination that allowed no obstacles, however serious, to stand between him and victory. These invincible qualities, coupled with an inherent talent for generalship, the tactful dealing with all kinds and conditions of humanity and the happy knack of getting the most out of every situation, we must main contributory elements to the daily lives of the children, brings him more conspicuously into the eyes of the nation than any other Negro in public life—and deservedly so. While the struggle for the Congressional appropriation fell to other hands, it was Mr. Calloway's comprehensive conception of the broad possibilities of a separate Negro exhibit, keen discernment and prompt grasp of the infinitesimal details necessary to organize and carry it to a satisfactory finish, and rare powers, of leadership that have given the race the finest objectlession of its own intelligence, skill and industry that the world has ever seen. The story of the early campaign which led to the formation of the Negro Development and Exposition Company, with Mr. Giles B. Jackson, of Richmond, Va., as the central figure, and how the Congressional grant of $100,000 was secured, is familiar to all. The Executive Committee, of which Mr. Calloway was made chairman, with Mr. Andrew F. Hilzer and Mr. Jackson as associate members, was called into existence for the purpose of directing the actual of "making an effort to Hillier had had twenty-five years of experience in the Treasury Department and was an expert accountant. He was, therefore, peculiarly equipped to assume the duties of secretary-treasurer and to devise a system for the accurate handling of the records and financial operations of the enterprise. Mr. Jackson's wide acquaintance with the people made him available as manager of the Division of Concessions, and the yeoman service rendered by Mrs. A. M. Curtis was awarded for his fair treatment in and in influencing the appropriation, together with her valuable experience on the Board of Lady Managers at both the Chicago and St. Louis Expositions, made her appointment as fiscal agent a highly proper recognition. With this capable organization as a nucleus, Mr. Calloway speedily organized a staff of field agents, each with a carefully-defined territory in which to arouse interest and to secure exhibits. Headquarters were established at Washington, with a force of competent clerks, and the headquarters agents of the preliminary campaign of "making an Exposition" was begun in earnest. This was in January, 1907, and the date set for the opening of the gates at Jamestown was April 26. The shortness of the time made haze imperative, and not a moment was to be wasted. As the Negro building neared completion, the headquarters were removed from Washington to Norfolk, where the same energetic tactics were continued, and long hours were spent ready, the number of exhibits in sights gave assurance that it would be filled from top to bottom with a most creditable collection. It cannot be denied that there were days of rough sailing. No object worth attaining is ever accomplished without difficulties that try the souls of men. When the Executive Committee assumed the reins there were internal misunderstandings that threatened the very life of the enterprise. Public confidence, for one reason or other, was shaken, and the popularity of the project was at a low ebb. Disappointments came thick and fast. The voice of the "kicker" and the hammer of the "knocker" were merciless in their efforts to spell failure for the great undertaking. Venomous attacks and crass misrepresentation on the part of the opposition press bewildered the people of the nation, and the citizens of Norfolk were made so uneasy by disconcerting rumors that their hearty cooperation was withheld. Problems of the most exasperating type confronted management at every level; it looked like the committee was between the Sepella district on the one hand if it did, and the Charydis of disapproval on the other if it did not. It was here that the cool head, steady hand and managerial sagacity of Chairman Calloway were shown to advantage. Here he showed himself to be, indeed, the man for the emergency. With a courageous adherence to what he believed to be the right, he took a stand for fair play for all concerned, decided all mooted questions positively and pushed toward his goal, undaunted by the flings of malicious critics or the bickerings of those who found themselves unable to dictate the policies of the Exposition or to share in its emoluments. As each crisis presented itself, it was firmly met and mastered. At no time did Chairman Calloway take a backward step. Finally, the skies became clearer, and on the tenth day of June, with banners flying, the Negro building was formally opened, with the President of the United States as the guest of honor.

At the quarterly conference the reports show 'Zion to be in a better condition, than ever in its 40 years' history. Spiritually the church is alive, and financially, at the close of the fair in these hard times $800 was reported in cash. By these things no one will doubt but that Rev. Bolden has inspired the heart of the community. The Mallory Sisters' concert will be on the 19th at Zion church. The members of Lincoln Lodge, No. 4429, G. U. O. of O.

O. Elks of the World, observed Elks' Memorial Day by having a sermon preached to their order by Rev. R. N. Bolden, pastor at the A. M. E. Zion church. In the sermon was embodied the Elks' motto, "Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity." Past Exalted Ruler William F. Kingstand read a paper, Presiding Elder Newby, of the A. M. E. Zion conference, said he always thought that all Elks were bad fellows, but since hearing the paper on Elkdom his mind was disabused of that idea, as like the good samaritan, they help their brothers instead of giving the cold shoulder and passing on the other side; he also complimented Rev. Bolden on his excellent sermon and practical ideas, and endorsed Rev. Bolden's articles, "A Critical Review of Words and Sayings," which have appeared in the Star of Zion from time to time. He did not like those preachers who thought more of graft and money-making than of saving souls for Jesus Christ. The Elks made a good showing and were highly complimented on the excellency of their ritualistic work. The choir, under the leadership of Madame A. Wilson, organist, rendered good music.

No hymn books were thrown as they were all locked up before the meeting. The metmasters attending the meeting have no knowledge as to who called the Bible was entirely unnecessary, for some of them agreed that if any time the discussion should get beyond orderly bounds an endeavor would be made to adjust the differences without the aid of the police.

Compaay. ee Within the past few months the edi- tors of Te New York Ace have been more than surprised as well as. pleased at the generous support which has been extended to this paper in all parts of America. The large increase in the numbef of subscribers and readers has strengthened our heart and our purpose for greater things in the future. It is the plan of the management of Tue New-York Ace to make it a rational, rational race paper in the widest sense. We expect to cover everything relating to the condition and progress of our race bearing upon its economic, politi- cal, educational, civil, moral and relig- icus uplift, We are sccuring wide-awake and intelligent correspondents and agents in every part.of the country. No field will be left untouched. ¢ We/take our readers into our confi- degé in this respect: During the com- ig twelve months it is our ambition to facrease the subscription list to fifty thousand, This is not an impossible or impracticable task. There ate at least ten millions of Afro-Americans in this country. Fifty thousand at least should be regular subscribegs to the race's greatest national organ. We are plan- ning to secure at least twenty thousand in Greater New York and the surround- ing territory. We take this method of making a personal appeal to every read- er of Tue Ace to sccure one additional subscriber. If this is done we shall not be long in reaching our goal ‘Our plans for the new year embrace a feast of good things that we shall spread before our readers each week. No man or woman interested “in racial develop: ment can afford to do without Tur New Yor Ace. He cannot keep abreast of all that concerns the uplift and the rights of our people without reading it. We assure our readers in advance that the money received from the enlarged subscription list will be put into the larger and fuller development of the paper. A Word With Our Advertisers ‘Tus New ‘York Ace values most highly the large patronage which it has from its advertisers. We not only value the generous patronage from the adver- disers, but we are equally grateful tw our solicitors for “advertisements. We wish to say to those who adver: tise in Tue Act that it is our purpose to do everything within our power to serve them better in the future even than we have in the past. The paper will be much more valuable as a adver tisitig medium in the future because of its enlarged and national circulation, We wish to keep in close touch with our advertisers and to do everything pos: sible to promote their inge“est. 18 turn, we hope that those who are investing money in Tux Aci, in advertisements, will do every? sng they can to Kelp tts secure an tularged circulation.

Rotation, cultivation, fertilization and the selection of seeds each is a distinct subject by itself, but in fhe opinion of the writer they are so clobely allied that he thinks it is better to ftudy them al- together. “It must be understood that no cut-and- dried rules can be laid down for'the pro- duction of corn, for whaf is good treat- nent in, Pennsylvania fay “not work out in South Caralina, lvhere the soil, climate and general conditions are dif- ferent, but the following facts must be acknowledged, namely, phat corn needs first of all, good soil, proper cultivation, and should not be plarted in the same place yeat after year, no matter where his faised.

With this number of active workers they decided to éfect a build- ‘ing, one that would be adequate to meet the wants of the city of the largest Ne- To population in the United States, and a building at the same time appropriate to_adom the capital of the nation. They ‘secured the services of Mr. Lewis E. Johnson, secretary of the ass0- ciation at Buxton, Ta. Buxton isa Ne- gro mining camp, which bas been soe- Nerted into a model, town, largely thre the influence of the Young Men's Christ- Tan Association at that place and to the ‘control exercised over the community by Mr. Johnson through the association. Mr. Johnson obtained leave of absence for three months and took charge of the Washington campaign, He was assisted by J. E. Moorland, one of the three secretaries of the colored depart- ment of the International Committee of the Young Men’s Christian Association. The central association had offered to give one-third of the $25,000 necessary, provided the ‘colored men of Washing- ton would raise the other two-thirds, but Mr. Moorland and.Mr. Johnson made up their minds that the whole sum ponies raised among the colored peo- ple. Qhey spent two months in prep- arations. They began by sending out letters and making addresses urging all members to attend Sunday meetags, Then they secured a storcroom in a building at the corner of Twelfth. and V streets, owned by the True Reform- ers. a colored fraternal organization. This is where they made their head- quarters. Lists of mames were made out em- bracing every vocation in the commun- ity, from business and professional men to day laborers. These names were classified, placed on properly prepared cards, with the amount which it was estimated that each individual could and should give. . While this work was going on at the headquarters “a remarkable serice of, meetings for colored men were being” held Sunday afternoons. Frequently the talks were illustrated by stereopticon, showing the growth of the Young Men's Christian Association and the character of its work. At the end of the first month two committees were chosen, a Citizens’ Committee, with a prominent physician, Dr. J. E. Shadd as chairman, and a Young Men's Committee, with Renjamin Washington, a teacher in the Manual Training School, as chairman. These committees met separately, each preparing ite own plans of campaign, nd after all of the preliminary work had been completed two joint mectings were held, Then the canvass began. The Young Men's Committee di- sided itself into. teams, each with ay aptain, A. generous rivalry at once © prang up among the different teams, ach seeking to accomplish more than he other inthe work in hand, and they were all united in their desire to outdo he Citizens’ Committee. In order to stimulate interest a chart as designed and hung on the wall, ‘pon which was recorded every day the mount raised by each one of the teams - nd by the Citizens’ Committee. A large clock was devised with a dial our or five feet in diameter, which howed every hour of the day the mount of money that had been raised pt that time.” This was placed in ‘indow. with a strong light to illuminate | .at night. A thermometer was con- rructed to show the. total “amounts nised every day.“ A careful report was cpt of cach day's work, the names of ne people visited by.the canvassers and ne, amount of their’ subscriptions.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4—Dr. W. T. Vernon, Register of the United States Treasury, is doing a splendid work for the advancement of the colored men employed in his department. He is not accentuating the color line, nor can he be accused of undue favoritism for his race in so doing, but he is wisely seeing to it that his people are not discriminated against in the matter of promotions when, they deserve them. Since June 12, 1908, the date upon which Register Vernon took the oath of office, the following promotions of colored men have been made upon his recommendation: Lieut. T. H. R. Clarke, from $1,000 to $1,200 per annum; R. P. Rhea, $720 to $840: Woodie Over, $60 to $720; George T. Beason at $600; John D. Reynolds at $660, and Roscoe L. Gray (temporary) at $205, have entered the accession of the Dr. Vernon. These promotions and accessions represent a net increase of salaries paid to colored men of $2,145, directly attributable to the painstaking and race-loving "man from Kansas." Other colored persons carried on his service are: George C. Smith, at $00; George J. Booker, at $60; Charles W. Edwards, at $80; A. H. Matthews, at $60, and George D. McCoy, at $60, bringing the total salaries paid to the colored employees of the Register's office up to the handsome figure of $0,085 per annum. Dr. Vernon is working with Dr. W. T. Vernon and the $2,500 received by Assistant Register Cyrus Field Adams, we have $14,550 paid from the Treasury to colored men, in connection with this office—a showing of which the race may well feel proud, and the future promises even better results. Dr. Vernon has also been instrumental in securing appointments, promotions and transfers for colored men outside of his own office and never refuses to take the time to serve any meritorious member of the race where he can legitimately do so. Washington's candidates for honors at the hands of the A. M. E. church are faring well in their own bailiwicks. Dr. E. W. Lampton, the energetic financial secretary, has been attending the Northeast Mississippi annual conference, in session last week at Coldwater, Miss. After a strong address by him a resolution was unanimously passed endorsing his administration and directing the deli at the Norfolk general conference. At a meeting of the electoral college of all the Alabama conferences, held at Qepelika, Ala, it was decided that the State would present but one name to the A. M. E. general conference for official recognition, and the choice of the body, by a large majority, was Mr. Ira T. Bryant, who will receive the solid support of the four Alabama conferences for secretary of the Sunday school union. Dr. Lampton and Mr. Bryant are two of the very few candidates who will be the forerunners backed by their entire States as the exclusive "favorite sons" of such States, the great advantage of this kind of support makes them leaders in their respective contests. Auditor Ralph W. Tyler has issued an appeal asking that one hundred colored men and women give one dollar each for the immediate relief of the Colored Social Settlement at 118 M street southwest, which is doing an excellent work for the uplift of the poor colored children, who by reason of immoral environments and lack of incentive for courage and courage, lack the classes of race. Pointing out the dire distress among this element and its influence upon the main more fortunate ones among us, Mr. Tyler says: "This problem is one that we, as a Mr. T. J. Calloway, Mrs. A. M. Curcannot ask our white friends to touch that which we refuse to touch ourselves. We cannot ask them to do our work, am asking one hundred of my race to give one dollar each for this worthy act—this cause of humanity. This will make you an annual member. There are many ways to help to rescue these unfortunate children. After you have done your dinner will taste better; your sleep will be better." An envelope is enclosed, addressed to a treasurer, and all subscriptions will easily acknowledged. Responses are ning at a lively rate. Mr. T. J. Calloway, Mr. A. M. Cur- and Col. Giles H.

RICHMOND LITERARY SOCIETY RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 25 — The Dunbar Literary and Historical Society has completed arrangements for its lecture and entertainment course. The first of the series of lectures will be delivered by Hon. John C. Dancey, LL. D., recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, Tuesday evening, December 16; Monday evening, January 19, 1905, the Richmond Musical and Dramatic Association will give a literary and musical entertainment; Tuesday, February 18, 1905, William Tecumseh Verdon, Register of the Treasury, will lecture; Tuesday, March 24, 1905, Major R. R. Motton will lecture and the Hampstead Normal Institute Quartette will give a concert; Monday, April 20, 1905, Prokelly Miller, LL. D., of Howard University, will lecture. The places of the several lectures and subjects are yet to be announced. At each lecture some of Richmond's best musical talent will have number on the program. The officers of the Dunbar Society are the R. D. Webster Davis, president; Rev. J. E. Jones, D. D., vice-president; Mr. George St. John Stephens, secretary and editor; Miss Maud E. Mundin, assistant secretary; Dr. W. H. Hughes, treasurer; Dr. D. A. Ferguson, chairman of the executive committee, has associated with him the officers and a number of Richmond's best intellectual talent. The society will have the hearty co-operation of the several literary societies of the city in the endeavor to make the course a success. The white people of Virginia and particularly of Richmond are desirous of having the Negro exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition brought to this city at the close of the big fair. In the interest of this movement recently the management of the Jamestown Negro Development and Exposition Company held a mass meeting for whites in the Academy of Music. Captain William Isaac Johnson, president of the company, presided. Speeches were made by Director-General Giles B. Jackson and the Rev. Dr. Robert H. Jackson, the president of the company. At the conclusion of their address hundreds of Richmond's wealthiest white citizens subscribed to a fund to make it possible to carry out the plans as outlined by the company. These plans, in brief, are the purchasing of a site in Richmond sufficiently large on which to rebuild the present Negro Building at the exposition—the building to be razed and shipped to Richmond and installed in the building after it has been rebuilt. Recognizing the fact that the exhibits are the personal property of individual exhibitors and institutions, it is the purpose of the company to all exhibit all exhibits of which exhibitors are willing to dispose. From time to time other specimens of Afro-American handwork will be added, thus making the exhibit perpetual. The white press of Richmond is unanimous in approval of the plan, as they see in it the medium of bringing hundreds of Afro-Americans DELSARTE'S ANTISEPTIC TOOTH POWDER AND MOUTH WASH Prepared by DR.

The undertaking is a gigantic one, but is far from being impossible, as the master hand that made the exhibit at Jamestown a success, in spite of great odds and severe criticism, will have in charge this great work More than a year ago THE New York Age in a short but terse article called the attention of the Afro-American people, especially those who give some claim to leadership in social circles and who are ex-college students, graduates, etc., to the importance of patronizing the school of the African-American sports of their various college colleges. Now, whether the Afro-American people of Richmond read THE Age's article or not, it is a fact that they have 'taken on' to football this season as they have never before. And the very cream of our society attended the contest between the teams of Virginia Union University and the Virginia Normal and Industrial University, the less game; and that between the university boys and the strong aggregation from Shaw University when the visitors won by a score of five to nothing. Thanksgiving Day will be very generally observed in the churches, where there will be services held appropriate to the day. The Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks, of Washington, D.

Phone 570-750-4300 CHARLES Readers of Tux Ace may congratulate themselves that a newspaper which has so long stood as a leader in race progress, a worthy exponent of sound doctrine, and a faithful monitor of right and justice to all, has, since the retirement of its veteran founder and editor, Hom. T. T. Fortune (the fact of said retirement coming as a heavy and sudden blow to all who knew not of its approach), fallen into the hands of such an all-round journalist as Editor F. R. Moore, now in charge of both the Colored American Magazine and Tux Ace. The former, as a monthly repository of current thought, under Mr. Moore's able management, has come to represent the present high-water mark of the magazine form of Afro-American literature; and this fact should be, and is, sufficient guarantee that Tux Ace under his efficient control will continue to make good in its wide field of usefulness. This is well, for perhaps never before in its history has our race stood more in need of fearless defenders and champions both within and without its borders, since never before have been distilled such insidious poison and race hatred as are now going the rounds of press, platform, footlights and even the sacred desk.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1907 The tenth annual reception of the Society of the Sons of Virginia held in Summer Hall, Brooklyn, on Thanksgiving night was a successful rounding out of ten years of great usefulness by that popular society. The Society had its inception in the thrift and industry of Mr. Peter H. Fisher, Sr. who communicated his plans to Measur. William H. Mumford, Graham H. Carter, William B. Jones and other gentlemen from Virginia, who favored the idea of the Society. November, 224, 1897, the Society of the Sons of Virginia was organized at 168 Ryerson street, Brooklyn, Mr. Fisher being its first president, serving three years in that capacity with much faithfulness and zeal. The society is incorporated under the laws of the State of Virginia. The Society of the Sons of Virginia organization and has a sound financial basis and a membership of 120 men. Members and friends of the Sons and the public crowded Summer hall on this occasion, where old acquaintances were renewed and new friends made. The music and orchestra was personally conducted by Mr. Winters in general satisfaction. Much credit is due Chairman John W. Winters and his committee for the able and businesslike manner in which they conducted the reception. Mr. Winters, whose cut is shown ```markdown ``` JOHN W. WINTERS here, has had charge of the public entertainments of the society for a number of years and has each time won success financially and socially.

He has been busy at 417 Carlton avenue is a relying point for the sons and they always meet a warm welcome. Smart Set Wlan The Smart Set and St. Christopher basketball teams in their first game since the formation of the league, at the court of the St. Christopher's, in the basement of St. Phillip's church, New York, on last Friday evening. The felt ball is out in force there being about 290 present. The game was by far the most interesting and exciting of the season, resulting in a decisive victory for the Smart Set by a score of 24 to 6. The home team were outplayed at every stage of the game. The score at the ending of the first half was 11.5, and throughout the second half, the Smart Set was proved to be a thing of the past, as St. Christopher had much difficulty in making their one point. Bradford, the big wonder, was so completely dazed and outgeneraled by Chester Moore that he had to be taken out of the second half. Both Lattimore and Hammond need to be carefully watched by the referee, as neither Harry Brown could be styled as gentle, Harry Brown certainly exhibited great cleverness as basket. The line-up was: Charles Scotton, Robert Lattimore, Chester Moore, Harry Brown, Robert Bermard, of the Smart Set; Clarence Lewis Shelton Bishop, C. Bradford, Lester Dodson, C. Hammond, George Clayton and Gus Williams, of the St. Christopher. The league standing: Smart Set, 1,000 per cent; St. Christopher, 500 per cent; Marathon, 000 per cent.

Washington to speak in Boston. BOSTON, Dec. 4. — Booker T. Washington has been invited to deliver an address to the Merchants' club, of Boston, Mam., on the evening of December 17. This is one of the strongest and most wealthy clubs in the country. In accordance with the proclamation passed by Grand Equestrian Beler, Dr. W. H. Athine, Manhattan lodge, No. 45, I. R. P. O. Bills of the World, the only ledge of that number and title in the Borough of Manhattan, attended St. Mark's M. E. church December. 1st and listened to a most appropriate and interesting sermon members of Manhattan lodge No. 45, to hear. The church was crowded to its fullest capacity. The authority of which the Grand Exalted Ruler, Dr. W. E. Atkinson, issued the proclamation is contained in the folio of the 1815 edition of the Grand lodge: "The first Sunday in December of each year is hereby designated the day on which shall be commemorated by every lodge of Eikas in the memory of the deceased. The lodge shall be known as the Eikas memorial day." After the regular opening services of the church by indication of the pastor the Elks began their ceremonies, which in part consisted of the opening address, Exalted Ruler, J. H. Anderson; singing Elks quartette; duties of the officials of the lodge, by the Exalted Ruler and officers; Elks opening ode by the lodge minister; the opening address of the memorial; reading the history of Machina; since its organisation, by the secretary, D. W. Parker, followed by the Elks quartette rendering "Nearer, My God, to Thee," accompanied by the church organist. The eulogy, or preferably in this case, the sermon was delivered by Rev. Brooks taking for his text the 8th verse, 4th chapter of the book of Joshua, which results in Andusus and Judus up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan in place, where the feet of the priests which bore the ark of the covenant stood, and they are there unto this day." It is entirely useless (and no one appreciates the fact more than the writer) to attempt to comment upon the sermon as delivered, unless it be to say that according to individual expressions made later by some of the members. The Rev. Brooks had indeed announced the words of his text Rev. Brooks said: "When I came into church this evening I felt much fatigued, but since looking into your faces, listening to fine papers read and the sweet music of your singers, the weariness has passed and I feel refreshed to say, a few words to you from the text selected. This is the work which was indicted by the minister in which he opened the he had selected for his text applicable to the condition of the Order, of Elks during the past two or three years, particularly when in closing his remarks he said: "I am glad that you came here tonight. I wish you success, for I know that you have difficulties." This last expression sounded somewhat significant to the writer to the extent that while hometown actually requeut themselves so that I was compelled to take my Bible from its resting place and seek the words of the text from which came the thoughts that worried me to so great an extent. The attendance of the members was being 187 present of a membership of 232. The officers of Mahantahi lodge, No. 45, are: Exalted Ruler, J. H. Anderson; Ex esteemed Leading Knight, E. H.

PHILADELPHIA, December 2.—Thursday was a day of general thanksgiving among the Afro-Americans of this city. Those who had reason to feel thankful for the good things the entire year had brought gave liberally of their abundance that their less fortunate fellows might have at least one day to be grateful for, and in consequence a number of hearts were gladdened and a number of appetites were satisfied. The round of the day for a great percentage of the people might be summed up in follow-up Morning, church; church dinner; afternoon, football game; later, promo-deration, evening, theatre; later, hotel supervise; Friday morning, indigestion. The sporting feature of the day was the foot ball game between the Chester Elks and the Philadelphia Elks at Washington park, which drew out large crowds and resulted in a victory for the Chester Elks; score, 11 to 0. For the hundreds of Afro-Americans who live in boarding and rooming houses the restaurants made special efforts in honor of the day. All the first-class dining rooms had table d'hote menus with turkey and game as the principal attractions, and it was a poor establishment, which did not offer a seat at least some of the Thanksgiving As a result, every Afro-American dining room of any note (and there are hundreds) was besieged by patrons, beginning with the Crescent and trailing down to the "quick lunch" establishments on side streets. What were probably the most interesting Thanksgiving services in the city on Thursday, at least to the members, were held in the First African Baptist church, corner 16th and Christian streets, Rev. William A. Credite, D. D., pastor. Mortgages aggregating $40,000 were sent up in smoke; they were torn to pieces and burned by the pastor and the congregation. Rev. Credite came to the church so several years ago. Since that time the old edifice has been sold and the church built at a cost of $100,000. During his pastorate the membership has been increased. The congregation now numbers 1,800 and the Sunday-school 750. In sending out an appeal for funds to carry on the labors of the Catholic Board for Work Among Afro-Americans, members of the board, one of whom is Arshbishop Ryan, called attention to the vast number of Afro-Americans in the South who have never had an opportunity for religious instructions. Fully one-half of the 9,000,000 "Afro-Americans, according to the appeal, have never received baptism, and 4,000,000 belong to no church. About 1,000,000 children do not attend school, and there are only 200,000 Catholic Afro-Americans in the South. The board includes Cardinal Gibbons, Arshbishop Reyle, New York, Archbishop Bliss of New Orleans; Bishop Allen, of Mobile; Bishop Byrne, of Nashville, and Bishop Keile, of Savannah. Referring to the work done by Protestant denominations, the appeal says: "Apart from the advantages offered the colored people by the Southern States and municipalities, the work of education done for them by non-Catholic money sent from the North is comparatively stupendous and should urge Catholic men and women to renewed effort. Over 20,000 young colored men and women are enjoying the advantages of higher education in the various schools, colleges and universities of the South, where there are alone over 100 high schools supported by Northern donations. From all these centers of learning there go out, year after year, hundreds of recognized officers of the local school of lawyers, ministers, physicians—all trained in opposition to the teachings of the Catholic Church" Catholic laymen are urged by the board to aid it in extending the work of the Catholic missionaries, who, the report says, have done splendid work in the face of special conditions, hardships, poverty of means and great scarcity of workers. To show her appreciation of an old and trusty servant, Mrs. P. G. Reed, one of Philadelphia's blue-blood millionaires, residing on Pulaski avenue, Germantown, where all of our finest suburban homes are located, turned over her handsome home on Thursday night for the wedding of Keziah Jane White, their cook, an Afro-American woman. She also helped to receive the guests, and was assisted by several of her neighbors, who were only too delighted to be present. The bride presided over the Reed kitchen for 11 years. She was married to Carey James Clarke by Rev Augustine Reed in Enoch Baptist Ternacle church at 7 o'clock. The cook now owns the her marriage they agreed to let her have the use of their home, which was beautifully decorated. Two hundred engraved invitations were sent out. Responses to the invitations were general, and the guests from all sides came in carriages to do honor to an event which is likely to become a legend in Germantown annals. Everything was done in style and with even a little more celat than characterizes Germantown society events of this kind. Nothing that makes a wedding complete was omitted, and one of the best caterers of the city was engaged to serve the refreshments. Mrs. Kedra Kedra is ticed in her neighborhood for "letting down the social bars." She defends her action by saying, "That Keziah Jane White, nee Clarke, was a dutiful and obedient servant for more than a decade, and well-worthy of the favor bestowed, and she would readily do it over again." Mrs. Clarke, though entering upon the state of matrimony, is not to be separates entirely from her mistress, honor. She is in Germantown, home presented to her as a wedding present, and will assist her when she is in need of extra service. She was the recipient of many handsome presents. in Metropolitan hall; over 320 were present, including a number of delegates. The wore worn by the young baltimore were members of the galleria's art. Fred N. R. K. joint architect rendered excellent music and light reflections were served. The officers of the club are: President, Parliament Uphar; secretary, Joseph T. Sack; treasurer, R. P. Abela. The other members are: Walter P. Baxter, J. M. Levy, Harold Y. Poe, Ole R. D. Ranney, William R. Ranney, Jr., George W. Williams, Carl R. Worrick, Miss Agnes Still and Miss Bentrice Gilmore were the belles of the hall. A call for a convention to be held on Wednesday, December 11, at the Holy Trinity Baptist church, has been sent out to consider our educational and business needs and how we can best meet the demands. The principal speakers are Dr. G. L. F. Taliftefur, Rev. E. W. Willey, A. C. Cotter, Beverly Housely, 24 years old, an Afro-American, died on the Chicago and Cincinnati express while the train was speeding into the city Friday morning. Housely's death was due to consumption. Housely's brother, Angelo, who was with him, was placed under arrest by the police as soon as the train arrived at the station until the cause of his brother's death was investigated. He was later released from custody. LIBERIA'S NEW BOUNDARY. Territory Lost and Gained Under New Treaty with France. From The New York Sun. Liberia is the last of the countries on the African coasts to have satisfactory knowledge as to the extent of its territory. The arrangement it has finally concluded with France fixes its inland borders and gives the republic a definite shape. Only one short stretch of the eastern france is still involved in doubt, and this is because of the paucity of our geographical knowledge. The agreement stipulates that the boundary shall follow the course of the Nuon River to its confluence with the Cavaly and then march with that river to the sea. But nobody knows yet whether the Nuon is really a tributary of the Cavaly; so the agreement provides that if it is found that the Nuon does not run southeast from Toulouse to the upper Cavaly, leaving the Nuon to the west and giving Liberia a little more territory. France and Liberia were wise in providing a way this time to patch up any little slip due to inadequate information. Twenty-five years ago next month they made a treaty fixing the boundary between their possessions and it proved to be worthless because the geographical notions on which the treaty was based were erroneous. According to the new arrangement Liberia will lose about 2,000 square miles of the territory she has heretofore claimed in the northeast and in the extreme upper basins of the St. Paul and Lofa Rivers, but in the southeast her territory widens enough to make up for her loss in the north. It remains to be seen whether Liberia can control her large domain. Thus far she has exerted very little influence over the natives living more than twenty or thirty miles inland. But French or Dutch colonists, like the forests and plains of eastern Liberia for about 600 miles, and the French desire Liberia to keep her frontier subjects in order and repress their tendency to intrude upon their neighbors and disturb the peace. President Barley seems to think that his country can adequately police the frontier, and the French want his one. One other way he even intimated that they will lend their aid to this end if it is needed. MINISTERS ON DEGREES. Action Taken by the Interdromina ional 'Preacher' Meeting. The conferring of honorary degrees upon individuals who have achieved distinction in theology is commended when such persons are men worthy of the titles because of intellectual equipment, breadth of mind and soul and those accretions that accompany marked distinction in pulpit work. We believe that such degrees should be conferred only by institutions of learning that have a recognized charter and such a curriculum as will give them a status in the collegiate world. In the selection of candidates to be the recipients of these distinctions great discretion should be exercised that they be conferred only upon persons of the highest intellectual and moral attainment and not promiscuously with material abuse of albre or the character of the recipient. We need a leadership that represents no discount of our status as a people. The flanking of degrees that stand for scholarship and achievement by men extremely limited in all attainments that make for distinction, builds up a school if false leaders and does an untold amount in injury to a struggling people. We ask our institutions of learning to exercise a greater discretion in the conferring of honorary titles. We ask that our ministry be judged by the same standard as that of any other people. We believe this will be far more beneficial to us in the long run than the rearing of a false standard of greatness. Adopted by the Interdecominational Park and Vicinity, November 15, 1997 Saratoga Notes. Religious services were held Sunday. Rev. A. T. Johnson preaching at the Mr. Olivet Baptist church and Rev. Robert Roberts of the Dear Phelps Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church. Thus Thanksgiving Day, a union service between the two churches was held in the latter-named church. Rev. A. T. Johnson preached the sermon, assisted by the reg. Rev. A. T. Johnson. The church was well filled and the collection went to the Hawley children's home. The Saratoga lycum held a very in- teresting week at the Mr. M. Olliver Baptist church. Mrs. J. W. Schenck, formerly of this village, now of West Medford, Mau., is spending a few days with Mrs. H. A. Wayland, 207 Division street. Mrs. Lucy H. Green left Thursday for the capital city, where she will spend the winter. Alexander was invited by William Alexander were initiated into the degree of Free Mercury last Thursday evening in Mt. Lohanon ledge, No. 28, F. and A. M. CHICAGO, Dec. 3.—There was a notable rallying of the African Methodist hosts last week; the occasion being the presence of Bishop Abraham Grant in our city. The bishop is a prime favorite in this Western country. During his three days' sojourn in Chicago he preached at the Bethel and Quinn chapel churches, addressed the Methodist ministers and delivered a lecture to the citizens. At all of these occasions there was a great outpouring of the people. The good bishop is blessed with an overflowing optimism. Few public men of the colored race have a stronger faith in the innate power of his people to work themselves out of their present dependence to a position of self-sufficiency and independence. He seems to have at his tongue's end every hopeful prospect of the race to a higher position in the family of races. The thousands of people who sat under the spell of the bishop's rugged eloquence during the past week went away with a larger increase of faith in themselves and the race. The Choral Study Club of this city gave its first public recital of the season on Monday, November 25, under the leadership of Prof. Pedro Tinsley. The people of Chicago and the West are justly proud of the high position won by this society in the interest of the classics in music. Prof. Tinsley announces that the Choral Study Club will again render Coleridge Taylor's "Hiawatha" next spring. Our people continue to build churches. Whatever else we may lack, the churches keep up with the increase of population. Here are now about thirty churches, including the sectarian tithian faith. Mrs. Eddy has a few disciples, but they do not flock to themselves under the shadow of a "color line." The only thing that prevents this "flocking" under the banner of Christian Science is the lack of money to build one of the Greek-like temples, apparently necessary for the proper housing of this new religious cult. An interesting example of successful church building is the founding and growth of the Berean Baptist church of this city. On last Monday evening this church celebrated the seventh anniversary of its founding. Under the stirring leadership of Rev. W. S. Bradden the church came into being and rapidly developed to a position of power and influence in the Baptist fraternity. Rev Bradden was formerly a member of the famous 25th Cavalry. His father before him was a fighting soldier in the Civil War. He is a natural fighter, and during the historic teamsters' strike in this city a few years ago he did not hesitate to place a danger point of that fierce conflict between "labor and capital." His church partakes largely of the fighting character of its pastor, for to found a new Orthodox church, build it up in membership and spiritual influence and be out of debt in seven years, is no small achievement. The Sandy Trice Dry Goods Company of this city has grown to such an extent that it is now seeking larger quarters to accommodate its growing trade. The purpose of the company is to increase its capitalization and enlarge its stock of merchandise in order to meet the increasing demands of its patrons. This is the only dry goods store owned and run by colored men in the Western States, and it is an interesting example of what is possible for colored men to accomplish in a cooperative business enterprise. Thanksgiving Day seems to be looming somewhat its character as a home day. Instead of eating Thanksgiving dinners at home as formerly, families are now gathering in church parlor for Thanksgiving feasts. Nearly every church now makes elaborate preparations to entertain individuals without faith to entire families. Our colored churches are finding it quite a source of income in thus suggesting a family reunion under the kindly auspices of the church and amidst the sanctities of worship. This is but one of the many ways that the colored churches, at least, are striving to increase the intimacy between the people in institution and the people without ever being the victim way they hope to bring the church members into a closer social as well as spiritual relationship. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS A FINE RECEPTION Given at White Rose Industrial Association for Oscar Rich and Bride. The reception given by Mrs. Anna Rich in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Rich at the White Rose home last Thursday presented a unique and highly enjoyable affair. The home was brilliantly lighted and beautifully decorated with ferns, similac, chrysanthemums and white roses. Many friends of both bride and groom greeted him with eight smiles and hearty words of congratulation. The groom was charming in an exquisite gown of cream silk and lace, the groom proud and happy in the conventional costume. Mrs. Rich, mother of the groom, was tastefully attired in black crepe de chine and lace, and the groom was dressed in a suit. They were assisted in the reception of the guests by the superintendent of the home, Mrs. F. R. Keyser. Mr. Reynolds, the father of the bride, was an honored guest. The music was furnished by Prof. and Mrs. Reynolds, a stylish, and many person prominent in New York and Brooklyn society participated in the joy of the occasion. The supper, a delicious and dainty treat, was made in their good wishes for the happy pair. This introduction of the bride and groom had a peculiarly fitting setting in the White Rose home, for it will be remembered that Mr. Rich was the maidwife, and that the bride was Harriet Matthews, the founder, and for years president of the house.
