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 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.

An Announcement I wish to make a statement regarding the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company. 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. (Continued on P. 10) (Continued from Page 1.) positions by the mayor; one a $8,500 per year job given out almost on the eve of the election and the other two a $200 and $1,600 per year jobs, respectively. This is well, but when we consider that the mayor's appointees en toto get over thirteen millions of dollars annually and that the pay rolls have been increased and padded during each successive year, the number of dollars this $4,400 given to the rapidly increasing colored population dwindles so far in contemplation as to be no recommendation whatever to "our friend." Yet, if we are going to allow our discussions as to the better choice for city executive to degenerate into this low and purely selfish comparison we can take the record of either the present Republican candidate or the last Republican mayor, Hart. We must remember that he deeply held the belief that Hibbard as its head, that the colored citizen—acting in all capacities from Postmaster Dupre in the largest substation in the city, Station A, to his two private colored clerks, Smith and Houston, and to the dozens of other clerks and carriers and messengers throughout the metropolitan area—has been receiving many times the considere-ment of his former client with Mr. Fitzgerald at its head. And the same thing was true of Mayor Hart, the last Republican mayor, as "poor a specimen of a Republican" as he was said to be. There were many times the number of colored city employees then as now, who drew in the aggregate salaries of more than $75,000 from a yearly payroll of more than $2,000,000 less than the present year's ceilings of weights and measures at an annual salary of $1,600, a deputy tax collector at $1,800, two custodians of public buildings at $1,200 and $1,000, respectively, an assistant secretary to the mayor at $1,000, ten messengers, several timekeepers and more than 100 laborers in the various city departments. These men have all been dismissed by the present Fitzgerald as a claimant to the three appointees. While for the last 20 years there have been colored Bostonians holding elective positions as Republicans, there has never yet, recently declared ex-Representative William L. Reed, been a colored man elected here by the Democratic party. Among the important Republican electives was Dr. Samuel E. Courtney as a candidate for the mayor of Boston, brought forward and elected, as the Doctor said in a recent stump speech, by none other than the present candidate for mayor and ex mayor, Curtis. But aside from the fact that under the Republican party, her mayors and her present candidate, the colored man has fared infinitely better than under the present or any other Democratic administration; there is just one issue in this campaign that trancends the lines of race and political selfish gain, upon which Patterson Negroes, as Negroes everywhere have proven themselves the leaders of the party under and above principles in politics—must and will on next Tuesday array themselves on the right side, and that issue in this campaign is good government. Boston, in the palmy days of the Curleys and the Lomasneys, established records for depths of political filth that were on a par with those established by Boss Tweed, of New York, and Mayor Schmidt, of San Francisco. But never before, as all evidence such as the investigative commission's reports, or a public glance at the obsession of public institutions and city reports attest, has Boston reached so low an elb of maladministration and misgovernment at as present. The revelations of paded payrolls and political city contracts and liquor dealers being put at the heads of departments and of woefully miskept and mismanaged public institutions and of the city's credit being padded with so much so common as to no longer shock the public's conscience or exute its unusual comment. Mayor Fitzgerald has been repudiated and excoriated in this campaign by the daily press generally and including the Hearst Boston American. While every decent Democrat, whether formerly friend or foe, have added their bitter tones to the general wail of municipal distress and horror. District Attorney Moran, supported by so many colored voters as the independent candidate in the last election, said in his statement last Sunday: "John Fitzgerald's political and official roles are so well known to me that I under no circumstances, could vote for him or support him for any office. The best interests of Boston require his defeat." The best interests of democracy require his defeat." In this general and nonpartisan revolt of citizens from the admitted graft rule of Fitzgeraldism there can be only one alternative left to the colored voter. To a man the Negroes of Boston should support their efficient postmaster and friend whose successful government of the Federal service has been thrice recognized by reappointment. An equally successful service would seem assured. A serpulous and prominent city official said to THE Age correspondent, when asked in which direction the Negro's interest lay, said: "We owe it not only to our race, to our past record and political future, but we owe it to our commonwealth, to rise with the general mass, to ally ourselves with the forces of good government, and shake off the machine yoke of Fitzgerald. To talk Brownsville, in Boston at this time, is to affirm the unselfish nature "The friendship of Fitzgerald when it comes to adequate, unselfish recognition is a myth. The only meaning of Fitzgeraldism to the colored citizen is an ever increasing tax and rent rate." As the man who benefits especially by Republican rule generally, and especially so here; as the seeker after a governmental square deal, law and order, the Afro-American in Boston cannot fail to choose as the mayoral standard hearer of his hopes, his tried and true friend, George A. Hibbard. Another election practically assured and meaning much to the colored Bostonian will be that of Mr. Henderson Allston to the common council. Aggressive intelligent and much in earnest the addition of this young business man cera and interest to cultured British and its rights and privileges and its consideration in Ronald's counsellor. As an independent candidate in the same ward with Mr. Allanot - Mr. J. Solomon Gaines is running. A roaring rally in the interest of candidate Postmaster George A. Hibbard was held last Friday evening at the Hammond street hall by the Roosevelt-Fairbanks club. Clarence Robinson, the business man and dramatic reader of the south end, presided over the audience in succession Postmaster Hibbard, several candidates for aldermen, Dr. Samuel E. Courtney and Messrs. Lloyd Marshall and Walden Banks. The coming mayor made an excellent impression, declaring among other things that never yet has he turned down a Negro applicant that was eligible for the position he sought. Dr. Courtney making a splendid and personal discussion and aalty and of his superior qualities as a man, and said there were three reasons why he was going to vote for Hibbard: First, Mr. Hibbard has merited his vote by a long and 'sincere friendship'; second, as a real friend of his race he merited the colored man's vote, and third, because as a taxpayer he found it imperative to vote for a change in order to produce his and the city's interest in felt satisfaction that he would subserve best those interests by voting for his able and efficient friend, George A. Hibbard. Messrs. W. H. Ferris and F. Gaston Hill addressed a Fitzgerald rally in the tailoring establishment of the latter last Thursday evening at 169A Tremont street. Mr. Hill is known and ranks as one of the most successful Boston and is now nicely and conveniently located in his new quarters at the above address. GOWE W. HARRIS. A RECITAL AT NEW HAVEN. Immanuel Church Gives Brilliant Af- fairies a Harvest Hold Annual Dance. NEW HAVEN, Dec. 2.—The Immanuel Baptist church presented their members and friends with a pleasing and appreciative after-Thanksgiving dinner recital Thursday evening. November 28. The stars were: Madame Ida Decker-Johnson and Grimlinn Bob Johnson. The features were: Mr. Johnson of his own original story entitled "Sister Frances' Vacation." The story portrayed the spontaneous and superficial effect of Northern customs upon the primitive Negro woman who initiated the marriage with the curiosity of her friend Mr. Johnson's good dialect readings as well as the vocal effort of Madame Johnson were of excellent color. The appearance of Miss Efricia Grant, a pupil in the school, was the focus of interest in that she exhibited a self-control over her expression and enunciation. The Immunel quartette was well balanced and excelled in time and harmony. The valuable assistance were: Miss Efricia Grant, Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, Mrs. Harper Whithe and the Immunel quartette. Miss Sadie Anthony presided at the piano. Rev. Dr. A. C. Powell, pastor. The affair was accompanied with an exceptionally large hurdle. Court Unity, No. 5155, The Ancient Order of Foresters' gave their annual Thanksgiving dance last Thursday even though Thanksgiving was not held, were assured with unusual patterning. Dancing was the order of the evening. The affair was a success from every viewpoint and was due to the personal effort of the musicians. Murray's orchestra furnished music. Thanksgiving day was solemnly observed here by the people in attending divine services during morning hours. In 1885, the orchestra was entertained at various diversions, but the real source of pleasure was that by the younger class at a reception given from 15 to 17 Chapel street, a number of the younger men. Music by Newman's orchestra, James I. Golden, floor director, James Durney, Miss Durney and Miss Edith Durney, of Sangatuck, Comm. Sunday with their relatives, Mr. and Mrs Joseph II. Martin, of 26 Gill street, Mrs William Walley and grandmother of 154 Dixwell avenue. Thanksgiving kissed with Mrs William Karl, of Boston Anderson's Dancing Class. The Thanksgiving ball and reception occurred Thursday evening, November 28 at his nakedness. New Palace hall, 75 avenue and 51st street. Notwithstanding the numerous other places of pleasure at the venue, the full capacity, fully 800 people being present, it was an evening long to be remembranced by the dancing public. The guests commenced to assemble very early and continued to pour in until dancing at the Anderson's orchestra furnished music for the occasion and every one had an enjoyable time. Each selection rendered by orchestra met great applause. Wherever Mrs. Anderson's orchestra had played, his staff of assistants were kept extremely busy seeing after the comforts of his many friends. Mr. Anderson bids fair to be New York's favorite dancing master; his ideas are most original and his performances follow a well-chosen order of people. At 1:30 A. M. the presentation of season tickets to those bringing a party of ten was made as follows: Mrs. W. T. R. Richardson, Mrs. G. W. Bust, Mr. P. T. Richardson, Mrs. G. W. Bust, Mr. P. T. Daniel Lowery, Miss Grace Morrison, Miss Pearl Holmes, Miss H. K. Karr, Miss Doany Gwathmey, Miss Hattie Fisher, Mrs. L. H. Thompson and Miss Dora Norwood. Space will not permit it was not possible that it would have been successful, both socially and financially. Prof. Anderson class meets every Thursday evening. Harrisville Church Improvement Rosaville Church Improvements, Rosaville, Dec. 3. A committee consisting of the following: Mrs. Susan Sullivan, superintendent of the Sunday-school, and Mr. Joseph Cooley, secretary of the chair of the A. M. E. Zion church; Rev. I. R. Walters, pastor, with the assistance of an entertainment raised $140 for the purpose of general fundraising. They also placed a brass rolling around the chair loft and placed handmade curtains at the windows. The appearance of the church is greatly improved. Mrs. Della Robinson and her husband, Mr. Robert Robinson, for the benefit of the church and had excellent success, realizing $15. This church, through God, under the leadership of its very energetic and worthy pastor, Rev. I. R.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1907 PAGE OF HISTORY HAMPTON ROADS (Continued from Page 1.) Though delays in freight deliveries had made it impossible for the diligent workers to make the exhibit complete in every detail, it gave ample promise of the magnificent display that it was to become, and the Chief Magistrate of the Nation expressed himself as "Doe the His Excellency bearer and beaming countenance left no doubt in the mind of any beholder as to his perfect sincerity. He heartily congratulated Chairman Calloway and his associates on the Executive Committee upon the splendid array of products shown, congratulated the architect and contractors who planned and erected the beautiful building, and congratulated on the wonderful progress, of which these exhibits furnished undisputable proof. President Roosevelt's message of cheer gave the management new zeal, and it is with eminent satisfaction that the ataches have heard, from that day to this, like sentiments uttered by practically every visitor who has inspected the vast connection, thousands of whom were of the Caucasian race, and whose eyes have been made to open wide with astonishment because of the beautiful and useful things that Negro hands have wrought. What the Negro Exhibit has Doomed Expositions, like all other enterprises "of pith and moment," must have a definite object in view, and they must be measured, in the final analysis, with their own experience. If they find them. They must come within-car- shot, at least, of the aim which they set out to reach. In proportion as they approximate their mark, they are to adjudge a success. Weighed in this nice balance the worst critic of the Negro exhibit will not deny that it has fully justified its existence By the inertifiable demonstration of his capacity to absorb and utilize in a practical manner all the arts of civilization, and THOMAS J. CALLOWAY has thus inspired us now with a faith in ourselves and in our possibilities that is bound to work wonders in the future. It has disarmed the enemy without, who have made the wholesale occupation that the Negro race is incapable of achievements that require in collagenitative, scientific skill, original methods, business acumen and unimaginable apperception. It has shown to transform the development of race brought to this country but three centuries ago in chains. It is a "star witness" in support of the Negro炭炭 to tell ledged American citizenship. These accumulated treasures in the arts and sciences, in education, religion, agriculture, commerce and in the industries represent a stored up energy that suggests wealth, strength and efficiencies of limitless potential. All this has been achieved and the race has received a judgment in its favor that could not have been so effectively rendered through any other agency. The separation of this department from the main book of the Jamestown Exposition, far from proving a humiliation or "Jim Crowing," to use a much abused and sally overworked term, is now recognized to have been its most distinctive benefit, in that special attention has been called to it by reason of its unique individuality, and direct credit is given the Negro for work thus known to be his. In the general exhibit, no emphasis would have been placed on the work of any part of the play. So, in short, this Negro exhibit grandly conceived, nobly planned, compactly organized, and skillfully managed entirely by Negroes—has drawn encomiums of priceless value from the press of the nation and won unstinted praise from all classes of people whose opinions are worth while. It was to accomplish this object that Chairman Callaway and his valiant band buckled on their armor less than a year ago, amid a clamor that would have disheartened men and women not made of their sturdy metal nor imbued with the strength of a porpoise success in the record that has followed their conserved endeavors. The Negro Department of the Jamestown Exposition has strengthened the Negro beyond measure by living up to its great opportunity. The thing that first impresses the visitor as he approaches the Negro Building is its magnitude. The ensemble is grand. Then the many points of beauty grow upon the spectator. The pure Colonial type of architecture has been graphically worked out by Architect W. Sidney Pittman, a graduate of Tuskegee and Drexel Institutes, and who is said to be the first colored man to have a building accepted by the United States Government. The graceful outlines, the tasteful ornamentation of staff, the mobile columned ornamentation of staff, and the delightfully beautiful the esthetic sense of the beholder and prepares the mind for the rich store of treasures within. The building, 210 feet long and 129 feet wide, was designed by a Negro architect. It was erected by Negro contractors from number and other materials supplied by a Negro firm. The stuccoed exterior surface was made by Negro mechanics, and the electric lighting was done by a Negro electrician. Thou- bands of sparkling, bulb illuminate the structure at night, and the roof, gables and cornices are fairly outlined with the base of burned gold. The building, including decorations, lights and appurtenances, Feedy for use, is estimated to have cost more than $60,000, and it is easily the most attractive structure on the grounds. It early became one of the truly "show places" of the entire exposition, and is in itself the Nero's biggest and best exhibit. The interior faithfully bears out the glowing promise offered by the exterior. Let us take a hasty peep on the inside. There are, 9,114 separate exhibits and nearly 1,100 individual exhibitors. We are first confronted by the North Carolina exhibit, covering 2,000 square feet of floor space, and crowded with a fine collection, to gather which the State opposes, supplying $1,000 and the only State in the Union to make an appropriation for such a purpose. On the left of the entrance we see in perfect operation a branch of the True Reformers' Bank, of Richmond. Since its opening this well-equipped institution has done an actual business amounting to over $50,000. On the right will be found a library containing 500 books and several original manuscripts written by Negro authors, flanked by a collection by colored men, not less than 400 attractive-looking sheets, being shown. The musical exhibit, with hundreds of folios of songs composed by musical geniuses of the race, together with some rare instruments manufactured by Negro workmen, is next in order. Fisk University seems to be the axis upon which the educational exhibit revolves, and its booth, always a center of interest, the daily motivateer class be seen have highly instructive, and the concerts by the world-famous Pisk Jubilee Singers have confessedly been the strongest drawing card of the season. People of both races have come miles and miles to hear these gifted students render their soul inspiring folk songs, and have been thrilled by the pathos of their quaint melodies, which speak a heart language that all humanity can understand. The original Pisk Jubilee Singers painted in London in 1874, is well placed and recalls the memorable tours upon which they raised $30,000 to erect buildings for their beloved school. Wilberforce University has a varied array, which places this historic institution in the first rank, and Howard University, the Washington public schools, Talladega, Alcorn, Virginia Union, Nortford County, Portsmouth, Va., Tongaulo, West Virginia Institute, Va., Worcester University, Curry Institute, Norfolk University, West Virginia Union and Armstrong Manual Training School at Washington are some of the seats of learning that merit special mention as we pass hurriedly along Hampton Institute, the mother of the "industrial idea," is of course, conspicuously in evidence. Its scores of industries are most effectively presented by samples of work and by photographs of the shop. The exhibition is said to have cost $500,000 and has proven to be one of the expansion best friends through the offices of Maorir R. R. Motten and Captain Allen Washington Searcely second to the Hampton display is the collection of fine buggies, wagons, tailor-made clothing, shoes, ete- made by the students of the St Emma Industrial School at Rock Castle, Va. a institution gostered by the philanthropist Robert Drexel, other Drexel school, the Francis De Sales, also at Rock Castle, makes a note worthy display of fine mollwork. Both schools were awarded gold medals without a dissimine note. Fine china painting by Mr. Frances Spencer Dorkins, in a special hoop, a cotton planter, and an extension holder by A C Payne, (Cucurbita, and the worm-dirted cichlid, Mr. A C Newman's division, showing a street railway, the operation of block signals, and models of many useful mechanical devices; together with a list of 300 patents granted to colored men by the United States Patent Office, are some of the other things that catch one's eye. We pay phone, a tool car wheel, patented by F R Burke, Chicago, for which he has been offered $10,000, is an object of deep interest among railroad men. Agriculture and the Liberal Arts. Mr. V. L. Macbeth, of South Carolina, the chairman's personal representative, has most ingeniously worked out an agricultural exhibit, which stands on a wooden platform in the immense collection of the grain he has pictured various farm animals in unique poses, the first ever seen anywhere and through an old log cabin, placed alongside a modern home of dressed and painted lumber, he has significantly contrasted the progress of the home life of the Negro farmer of the dark days before the war with the thirty agriculturalist of this intelligent country. The Council of the Kind represented by real specimen canned fruits and preserves are there in inviting array, and finally we are surprised to find a bundle of stalks of corn, measuring fifteen and a half feet in height, from the farm of Captain Isaac Norman, in Fairfax county, Va. Business enterprises are indicated mainly by photographs of the stores, factories, shops, etc., some of the principal ones, such as the prospectus of the Black Diamond Mining Company, capitalized at $1,000,000, with mines and spouting oil wells in Kansas and Oklahoma; the secretary department; store of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company at New York, another million-dollar corporation, with branches at Baltimore and Savannah; the department store of Sandy W. Trice in Chicago, and creditable mercantile houses in Philadelphia, Boston, Atlanta and important centers. Marly fine photograph of the planked barn that of Scurlock, Freeman and Turier in Washington; J. C. Farley and George O. Jones, of Richmond; A. L. Macbeth, of Charleston; S. C. Actual soaking invention at the booth of Mr. L. Simms of Norfolk, and a lightning silhouette artist, E. J. Derry, makes a life-like shadowgraph on your features while wont wait. The display of shoe polish by A. C. Howard, a successful manufacturer, who owns and operates a factory history museum in the wholesale business district of New York, handling an output of $75,000 per annum, is the most striking study in this line. Mr. Howard's exhibit was given special attention and was warmly praised by President Roosevelt. Without invidious comparison it may be truthfully said that the *picee-dre-* estance of the artistic side of the exposition, in the division of fine arts, is the historic tableaux of Negro progress, designed and executed with great care by Miss Vaux Warrick, a sculptor of great promise, educated in the best art schools of Philadelphia, her home, and finishing at the Academy of Fine Arts in New York, where she teen in number, made vivid by clay models of men and women, arranged in natural foreground poses and supplemented by actual articles used in everyday life, with a background of skilful paintings to give the necessary environment, are shown in a specially-constructed subway, and are lighted by subdued electric bulbs, which give them a most dramatic effect. The teacher, who have been talked about and written about to such an extent that it will suffice to say here that they present a clearer insight into the stages by which the erstwhile barbarian blacks have developed from the low estate of 1619 to the thrifty, industrious and progressive people we find them in 1907. In the last century, the history in existence. Miss Warrick's artistic tableau tell their own story in a language, mute, but most eloquent. The collection of paintings, sculpture and drawings of various kinds are like the sands of the seashore in their countless profusion. If crude, in some respects, they are quite creditable as a whole, and indicate an ambition that is often unattainable. They are continued study. Miss Bertina B. Lee, of Trenton, N. J., has some original bits of sculpture that are commended by able critics; J. Richard Thompson, of Brooklyn, N. Y., gives fine paintings of Dr. Booker T. Washington and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell that have met with approval and Trof. J. W. Huntster, of New York School, of D. C. has several portraits in oil and some clay modeling that are noteworthy. The spirit of Booker T. Washington is conspicuously in evidence and pervades the entire building, for one cannot turn without being faced by a bust, painting statuette, or crayon drawing of the eminent educator, and man of affairs—a convincing testimonial of his popularity as a leader and one whose exposition's scheme of emphasizing the constructive element of the Negro's adenance. The immortal Frederick Douglass was not forgotten, and Bishops Grant, Gaines Walkers, Turned and Williams, Dr. W. L. Taylor, of the True Reformers, and the officers of the Negro Development and Exposition Company and the executive committee frequent subject object for exhibition of the photographic portraits of many other worthy Negroes adorn the walls, a group showing the three elected Registers of the Treasury, ex-Senator B. K. Bruce, Col. J. W. Lyons and the present incumbent, Dr. William Teemsch Vernon, being very prominent, accompanied by government bonds of large denomination signed by each of the great auditorium on the floor, the excellent and the most valuable gatherings, and the spaces around surrounding the Negro building offered a variety of attractions. In this cursory glance at the expo- sition and the pioneer men and women who had a hand in making it, hundreds of deserving individuals, organizations and institutions of learning are per- force omitted for lack of space. **book** on the subject is to be written; you this little skier birth-eye view will help become the casual order an eloquent mountain. For the same measure the circumference of the vast circle which the enterprise disclosed, and in which Chairman Thomas Junus Calloway has been the central figure and controlling force. Warm head and genius by nature, he has not assumed to occupy the limelight alone, to the exclusion of his loyal assistant. The limelight has so far all for you this liberal policy he has away from support, not only of his own immediate staff, but has enjoyed the Nupatheme cooperation of every class of citizens throughout the land; chariemen, educ- ators, doctors, lawyers, business men, farmers, fraternists and industrial workers generally. All have contributed to make the 'special days' brilliant and of far reaching benefit to the race. Mr. A M Hilter, Jr. Hilter, Wille Johnson R. A Hilter, Jr. Hilter, Kelker, A L. Machheh, R T. Hill, W E Hope, C H Johnson, and Rev C H Williams, as well as the entire corps of field workers, office clerks, newspaper writers, guards, attendants and exhibitors, each in his place has done his full duty in pushing forward this stupendous enterprise. It has been a success because they have held up the hands of their place, and been thus loyally marshaled because he has proven worthy of their esteem and confidence, and vin- ted a cause in which the whole people had a stake. This story cannot be intimately closed without mention of the matchless services of Mrs. T. J. Calloway, who has been at her husband's side from the day the installation of exhibits began to the fall of the curtain upon the closing scene. Throughout the exposition period she has been giving the army of helpers assistance of the most substantial character, making suggestions, looking to the tasteful and effective arrangement of thousands of artworks that none but a woman of culture and finesse would know what to do with. As the practical hostess of the Negro Building, she has been the "Lady Bountiful" of the exposition, and her charming personality has generated sunshine and cheer when the days have been dreary and the waves of trouble ran high. Mrs. Calloway has been an indispensable quantity in the equation at Jamestown, and the moral value of the inspiration her presence and labors gave can never be accurately estimated. Chairman Calloway is yet a young man. Although honors and responsibilities have taken his place, he has not yet reached the zenith of his career. Surely there is a future for a man of his diversified talents more commensurate with his attainments than can be offered by the circumscribed departments of the Government at Washington. He has outgrown the swaddling clothes of dull routine. He has exhibited the possibilities of the official mobster arena, where live men never fail to secure a hearing and the true merit is given due recognition. His superb leadership of the past year, surmounting difficulties with quanimity of a veteran commander, unquestionably saved the day for the Afro-American's BUY STOCK NOW AND GIVE IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR.

F., held its ninth annual reception at Union Opera House on Thanksgiving Eve. The affair was a grand social and financial success. The members of Lincoln Lodge and Orpah Household of Ruth, No. 1349, looked very nice while in the intricacies of their Odd Fellows' march. The grand march was led by Mr. William F. Kingsland, district grand director, and Miss Lena Jackson, of Dobbs Ferry. Excellent music was furnished by Master Anderson, Campbell's orchestra. The members of Westchester Lodge, No. 116, I. B. P. 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.

A Personal Word to Our Readers Within the past few months the editors of THE NEW YORK AGE 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 number 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 THE NEW YORK AGE to make it a national, 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, political, educational, civil, moral and religious uplift. We are securing 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 confidence in this respect: During the coming twelve months it is our ambition to increase the subscription list to fifty thousand. This is not an impossible or impracticable task. There are at least ten millions of Afro-Americans in this country. Fifty thousand at least should be regular subscribes to the race's greatest national organ. We are planning to secure at least twenty thousand in Greater New York and the surrounding territory. We take this method of making a personal appeal to every reader of The Ace to secure 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 development can afford to do without THE NEW YORK AGE. 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 THE NEW YORK AGE values most highly the large patronage which it has from its advertisers. We not only value the generous patronage from the advertisers, but we are equally grateful to our solicitors for advertisements. We wish to say to those who advertise in THE Age 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 an advertising 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 possible to promote their interest. In turn, we hope that those who are investing money in THE Age, in advertisements will do everything they can to help us secure an enlarged circulation. We want to help our advertisers, and in turn we want them to help us. Prohibition in the South The spread of Prohibition in the Southern States may mean less money for the white liquor men of Cairo and Covington, but then, too, it may mean also less murders of innocent Negroes in that section. Just how many thousand Negroes have been killed by drunken men since the war we have no figures to prove, but we know there have been many, and the paper brings news of new killings every day. These ignorant and brutish people tank up on mean whiskey and are then ready to shoot down the first Negro they see without provocation, and the juries generally excuse them because "he was drunk and didn't know what he was doing." Prohibition may change this status of affairs somewhat. There is enough danger for the Negro among a certain class of sober white people, and if we can get rid of the drunken ones so much the better. To sober up the drunken part of the South will not hurt us one "single bit." Negro Preachers Who Don't Pat- rophe Negro Enterprises Several complaints have come to Turf Age recently that many Negro preachers in New York city and elsewhere are much given to talking about manhood rights and "race pride" but very little given to buying their groceries, for instance, from the poor, struggling Negro merchants, some of whom are near their doors than the whites ones. Not all the ministers are guilty of the hypercity, we well know, but such as are should at once mind their ways. These big wind-jamming sermons that are not followed by careful and philosophical actions are about as nausea to race progress as the baying of the moon by a hound dog. The race needs action more than talk. We want to see the ministers taking the lead in the matter of race patronage; they have the ear of the people; they can start an onward rush in this direction that will build the Negro up in business in short order—and their neglect of this great work in so great an opportunity will be a fatal omission which the sure and inevitable course of time will charge up to them. If they are faithful posterity will crown their memory with laurels of praise, and if derelict in this great duty, woe be unto them. Let the Negro ministers see that their congregations patronize competent Negroes as merchants, doctors, lawyers, and in all other enterprises. A race without business is a weak race, and if we remain weak for the lack of a proper percentage of business people among us, let it not in the future be laid at the door of our colored ministry. We will be sorry to have to single and call the names of some of the ministers we know and those who have been reported up, but we will do so unless they change. This is run in the interest of race progress, and we propose to hew to the line. "Let the chips fall where they may," and we know the people are with us. Another Negro Outrage New and serious racial complications have been created by the triumph of a mulatto girl over white competitors in a Taylorstown (Pa.) beauty show. Will the home of the whiskey rebellion brook the slight put upon native beauty? Already the male champions of the insulted fair ones have threatened to expel the entire colored population from the neighborhood. The Dred Scott decision was not more portentous of trouble than this revolutionary verdict. The judges should be impeached forthwith. What does it profit to keep Negroes away from the polls if their presumptuous daughters may oppose rival charms against Caucasian beauty? Senator Tillman in his wildest fancy never imagined a more dastardly plot against the supremacy of the white race. Were the lessons of reconstruction forgotten that the managers of the bazaar dealt so awkwardly with a delicate situation? In the South they would have ordered the matter more discreetly. The votes should have been canvassed more intelligently. Apparently the only way out of the dilemma in its present stage is through a new returning board and a recount — The New York World. The above simply lets the cat out of the bag and demonstrates the cruelty of the white man's prejudice. Why not have a law passed any way that every bright-colored Negro should wear a badge to keep the prejudiced and narrow and bigoted whites from making mistakes as to his nationality? This would be better than insulting him by driving him about like an outlaw. In Virginia not long since a judge decided that a certain mullato Negro was not entitled to damages for being ejected from the Jim Crow car because he did not make known his racial identity to the conductor. If this Negro had had a badge on giving his racial identity the mistake would not have occurred. The white man's race prejudice is something deep and past finding out; any way. The World treats this matter as ridiculous, and we might as well laugh over the folly of such fools as to cry. The Whittier Anniversary Miss Americans throughout the country should not fail to take proper note of the fact that December 17 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of John G. Whittier. This occasion should be properly observed in our schools, colleges, churches and other organizations. Few men did more to create a public sentiment in favor of freedom than was true of Whittier. Let us not fail to show our appreciation of this great service. Industrial Education in Massachusetts On another page we publish a statement from The Boston Transcript on the recommendation of the public school authorities in the commonwealth of Massachusetts on the subject of a College of Industries. We publish this in order that our readers may see that white people throughout the country are pushing the matter of industrial education. Some years ago many of our people feared that industrial education was only being used as a means of educating the Afro-Americans in the South Massachusetts, as well as the rest of the States of the Union, is now pushing this line of education for all the children in that commonwealth. Governor Vardaman has ordered the constabulary of Mísis-siipi to search every Negro that has a "knot in his side" that has the least appearance of a six-shooter. What is to be done with white men who are guilty of lotting pistols so long that they have a severe case of chronic corns on their side? No man might be allowed to carry deadly weapons and the Governor's decree ought apply with equal force to white men and Magnus. Governor Vardamus fain always bein cross-eyed and we shall be glad when his term expires. It will be "good riddance of bad rubbish." The Star of Zion asks: "Does The New York Age think it serves the cause of morals and decency to print a whole page of such stuff as the Ferris letter to Editor Trotter? Why not let these erstwhile bosom friends have it out to themselves without airing the one side or the other in The Age? Yes. When pretenders of manhood rights seek constantly to misrepresent and are disloyal to their friends they should be exposed and shown up. Every Sunday school and every benevolent society and every church should be contributing money to help educate some bright-minded and promising colored youth. This would be more sensible than spending money on unnecessary church embellishments. Beware, of the fellow who wants to talk too much, whose voice sounds so nice to himself, that he thinks it sounds nice to others also. Senator Foraker is about to risk all to gain. After factional strife has raged fiercest in Ohio the Republicans of that State turn up the biggest majority. Funny fellows, those Ohioans. They thrive on factionalism. Harry Smith now lays claim to being the dean of Negro editors. Don't the bright, pugnacious editor of the Cleveland Gazette know that such a claim suggests age. And Harry is still a bachelor. In Texas recently a man, on committing suicide, left a note saying "I am going to hell." We always thought Texas was hot enough for anybody. It is reported in the press that Senator Tillman's Negro employees actually love him. The incongruities met with in this life are perplexing. A slavery that lashes its victim daily and paralyzes his best ambitions, comes from spending "a little more than you make." Drill your thoughts; shut out the gloomy and 'call in the bright. SENSATIONAL PAPERS. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE The sensational report of the murder of the policeman in Brooklyn on the evening of November 14, which appeared under glaring headlines, in certain Manhattan newspapers the following morning was a barefaced exaggeration and baneful juggling of news. That the report of a pistol in a community on a quiet night will cause no end of excitement goes without saying. But I wish to say that the assertion that a maddened mob surged about the prisoner on this particular occasion, giving the police considerable difficulty in saving him from would-be lynchers; that the air was rent with cries of Lyme; "Remember the cop in New York"; "pledge to blow the trembling wretch" was a gross and malicious fabrication; it was an appeal to race prejudice and a bid for further bloodshed. Counselor E F Giles and I arrived upon the scene a few minutes after the removal of the wounded officer, to find the prisoner much battered and bruised but apparently calm and unmoved, surrounded by an orderly crowd of perhaps about a hundred and fifty people, in the custody of three policemen and plain clothes men, awaiting the arrival of the patrol which seemed in no hurry. We stood there until the prisoner, who was a man of great importance and the words, "Lynch him," were uttered by one person alone, and that a woman, in a very faint voice. The paper in which I read this very much over drawn report of the very unfortunate affair boasts of a circulation of two million; and surely, such a paper can afford to tell the plain, unwarmed truth about an affair of this kind. It is not fair for the press of the country to persist in telling Indian stories when dealing with the colored American citizen. The black man defended the Indian, who in his stubborn resistance of civilization, has allowed himself to be driven off the face of the earth. All Indian stories are told by the white men, and we never hear one in which the Indian gets any glory or justification. The old maxim, "there is no good Indian but a dead Indian," should be applied to the Negro. For a mere black man, the Indian has the full crime of murder, but we will let him suffer for it as an individual. In the city of Washington a woman is now on trial, who left her faraway home in Utah and journeyed all the way to the National capital to shoot down a man with whom she had been equally guilty of gross misconduct. She murdered him because he seemed in no hurry to marry her after the death of his wife, whom their conduct had hurried to a premature grave. This creature is posing as a martyr. The newspapers are exhibiting pictures of her and enlarging upon her beauty and virtues. Her plea is insanity. Could Thurgoodresse wretch who, on that fatal thurgoodress shot, down an offender in a fit of thunderism make a like plea and reasonably so? Surely, a person must be mentally unstable who would exert himself to snatch a woman's purse. For is there never sufficient cash in the average woman's possession to compensate a thief for as much as a run of half a block, let alone the taking of human life? Now, would a plea of insanity be just the course to pursue in this case? State Fair. BALTIMORE. Nov. 25.—A State fail- under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Maryland began here to tighten and will continue for one week. The work and workwork and progress of the rises have been collected from all parts of the State. New Move in Vocational Training. Boston, Nov. 28—Leading educators of the State have been in conference with the Commission on Industrial Education considering the newest phase of the educational policy which this commonwealth has entered upon to build up its industrial standing. There is a field for technical training which has not yet been entered, but which the Legislature evidently had in mind when it directed the new commission to conduct the training. The advisability of establishing one or more technical schools or industrial colleges, providing for a three or four years' course for extended training in the working principles of the larger industries of the commonwealth." It is felt that there is a vacancy between the high school and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; that the first school does not go far enough to train the young men for the higher positions in industry and the sea; that the students are available for who, under proper training, would become good foreners. The broader training given at the Technology, for instance, tends to equip the student for the highest positions, such as that of directing engineer, with general charge over large projects, whereas the lower technical schools in existence to-day do not require such a high as the requirements for foreners and superintendents. A State college to fill this gap is wanted. The Massachusetts Commission on Industrial Education has had several conferences recently with the heads of leading educational institutions, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Lawrence Scientific School, the University of Chicago Institute the Simmons College and Tufts College. The next move in this matter will be to give public hearings at the State House in near future, as the commission proposes to report to the Legislature next January. What attitude the commission will take depends, of course, upon development. Senator McEttrick is taking deep interest in the movement, the metropolitan district of Boston, which is one of such college, as a larger percentage of the industries are located here than in any other section. Evening courses for persons already employed in trades are being established in many parts of the State, under the general supervision of the commission. Besides Cambridge, which was the first to adopt the courses outlined by the commission, New Bedford has established an evening school in scientific subjects to approve it. Classes in mathematics for men in the machine trade have been opened in Beverly, where the United Shoe Machinery Company has a large plant. Worcester has a special commission, appointed by the city, to consider the prospects of establishing a State industrial school for boys, preparatory for entrance into the machine industry. This commission has had several meetings and has been in consultation with the department of education, whosecience is considering a similar proposition through a local committee; in that city the textile workers and stationery treeners have asked for an evening school to meet their needs in their own trades An expert representing the State Commission on Industrial Education is now examining the industrial evening drawing schools in Boston, at the request of the Boston school committee, with a view to seeing if they come within the purview of the law for State management and State aid. Walham has made an appropriation for opening evening courses in medical training, and the courses have been approved by the State Commission. About a hundred girls in the Walham watch factory have asked for an opportunity to study domestic science, and they will have their wishes respected. SECRETARY OF ALLEN LEAGUE. Julian C. Caldwell Makes Strong Bid for the Position. I have the endorsement of the North Missouri conference, which elected me as delegate to the general conference at Norfolk, May, 1968, and also the endorsement of the Episcopal district. If elected I shall all in my power, by the help of God, to place the Allen Christian Endeavor league in the forefront of the young people's societies of this country by earnest, active and enthusiastic and consecrated work for Christ and the church. Thinking that I am the best person I may for me. I am, yours, for the cause of Christ and His church. JULIAN C. CALDWELL. We would be pleased to see Rev. Caldwell elected to this position. He has the necessary qualifications and stands high in his community and is an effective pastor. He has been identified with every movement that seeks the benefit and advancement of the race. Strange to say, but there are large numbers of farmers who do not understand what rotation of crops mean, notwithstanding the fact that it is so simple. By rotating a crop farmers mean that they divide their farms into a number of equal parts, say three, for convenience. On plot No. 1 corn is planted, No 2 wheat, and No. 3 clover hay. Now the idea is this, that corn is not planted in the same plot only after every three years. In other words, grain follows corn, clover hay follows grain and corn follows clover hay, etc. Rotation, cultivation, fertilization and the selection of seeds each is a distinct subject by itself, but in the opinion of the writer they are so closely allied that he thinks it is better to study them altogether. 'It must be understood that no cut-and-dried rules can be laid down for the production of corn, for what is good treatment. Pemphrey warns that his farm out in South Carolina, where the soil, climate and general conditions are different, but the following facts must be acknowledged, namely, that corn needs first of all, good soil, proper cultivation, and should not be planted in the same place year after year, no matter where it is raised. Corn is one of the most important grains grown, for every living thing on the farm will eat it, or some one of its byproducts. In order that the subject may be more fully understood the writer will give the -method by which corn is grown, to his farm. The farm is divided into five equal parts. This is done because the five-year rotation system is practiced. The field in which corn is to be planted is the one from which the last crop of hay will be taken. Just as soon as the spring planting and seeding are out of the way preparation of the ground for next year's corn crop is begun. Since hay is not made until the first of July the poorer spots are selected and manure hauled directly from the stable is spread on them. This is done until hay is made, after which the manuring is continued throughout the rest of the summer, all fall and winter until plowing begins in tse spring. By this time nearly every foot of land to go in corn has been manured. Just as soon as the team can be taken on the ground in the spring it plowed to a depth of eight feet, after which it allowed hay for two or three weeks to give the weeds a chance to start. A little before planting the ground is thoroughly harrowed three or four times, the more the better, after which a board harrow or drag is used to smooth the ground and crush clods. The seed bed is now ready for the reception of the seeds. Now for the seed corn. Great care should be taken in this most important matter, for careless selection means a proportionate production in the yield per acre. The writer selects his seed corn in the following manner: in the fall at corn-husking time the most perfect ears that can be found are hung in a dry place to cure, care being taken that seeds do not freeze. When the corn is shaken by hand in the soring the seeds are picked, the seeds are pickled, for they are never perfect, and the remainder is put on the table where the faulty grains are picked out. There is some trouble connected with this latter method, but it pays, for one is assured of an even stand of hardy plants, each giving an ear of corn at maturity. Here corn is planted from the 15th to the 20th of May. The seed bed having been properly prepared as noted above the corn is planted in the following manner. The rows are laid out 40 inches apart and the seeds are planted with a machine that drops one seed every 14 inches in the row. Each planter must regulate the depth the seeds must be planted according to his locality. The writer plants a little deep to keep the crows from getting the seed. Just as soon as the plants are about an inch high cultivation begins, first with a two-hue silky cultivator, then with a two-hue silky cultivator. Use cultivator every eight or ten days, or as often as needed, usually after a rain to keep the ground from packing. Three or four cultivations is sufficient under favorable circumstances. As the last cultivation crimson clover is sown at the rate of four quarts per acre The limits of this article will not allow the writer to discuss the merits or elements of crimson clover. It is simply necessary to say that it adds very materially to the fertility of the soil. All corn has stickers which if allowed to grow diminishes the size of the ear. These are pulled off when the corn begins to tassel and fed as green forage to the cedar. When the corn has matured and the blades are just beginning to turn it is cut and shocked in the field when it is allowed to stand about two weeks, when it is husked and carried from the field to the crib. The fodder, which includes the stalks, is housed in the barn and fed to the cattle during the winter, the waste being hauled back to the fields as manure. To a great many farmers this way of producing corn may seem very laborious, but to make one acre produce 100 bushels that to expend labor on two, or maybe three, acres to obtain the same result. Corn is king and farmers are finding that out every year. This ends the first year in the rotation. The next article will deal with oats and wheat. The next article will deal with Health. November 19, 1997. C. M. E. CONFERENCE MEETS. Many Ministers and Delegates Are in Attendance. Gartens, Ga., Nov. 30 - The Colored Methodist Episcopal conference is in session here. The conference was opened by Bishop Holsey. His remarks were instructive and helpful. T. C. Black, A. Martin and N. H. Wiggin were elected secretaries, and B. Bareo, newspaper reporter, William B. church, was introduced to the conference. M. M. Alston, Joseph Griffith and others were also introduced, and made talks A Bit of a Holc. Doctor—Your husband will be all right now. Wife—What do you mean? You told me he couldn't live a fortnight ago. "Well, I'm going to cure him. Surely, you are glad!" "Puta me in a bit of a hole. I've him pay for his luggage."—Wrecky, Telegraph WILMINGTON, N. C., Nov. 24—THE schools of Wilmington are in a more satisfactory condition than has been the case in years. Gregory Normal Institute, which is conducted by the great A. M. A. Society, has a new principle and with but two exceptions, an entirely new faculty in the corps of twelve teachers. Prof. J. H. Arnold, the efficient successor of Prof. Woodward in the principalship of this school, hails from the great West, being a Kansan by birth, and having spent thirteen years of his life as a teacher in the Redfield College situated in Redfield, South Dakota. This is Prof. Arnold's first trip South, and he comes without a scintilla of prejudice in his make-up. He possesses a charming personality, and impresses on his students with his commitment and gently bearing. He possesses all the marks of scholarly culture and convinces one of the latent fires of ambition burning in his bosom in the righteous desire for the advancement of the Negro race in all walks of life. Especially is he interested in cultivating a desire in the minds of his people for the higher learning, coupled with proficiency in the manual arts and crafts. Prof. Arnold has no social axe of grids and the other giving him self-suit to only the betterment of the imposition under him, making every deavor to raise it from the slough of despond whence it was rapidly sinking, and placing it on a par with any and all normal institutions throughout the country. Already the good effects of the professor's advent are apparent. Gary now has a mixed "acquity." Three of the teachers are coloring Madison Moore, a graduate of Hampton Institute, is in charge of the industrial department of the school, having direct charge of the boys in manual training. Shops are now building for the proper furtherance of this branch. Miss Woodson, recently a teacher in the city, was charged of the public schools, has charge of the primary department of the school. And Miss Maynie, Shoper, a graduate of Fiske University, Nashville, Tenn., both from the college and music departments, being also a much-loved and popular daughter of this, her home city, has charge of the music department of the school. The school is a white and� of continue to reside in the commodious and well-appointed teachers' home adjoining the school. Prof. Arnold has already taken steps which will endear him in the memory of the race. Noticing the fact that the Afro-American population had no library or other public reading room, he has the largest annual room of the institute at the disposal of the community three nights in the week from 7 to 10 p. m. And of Sundays from 2 to 5 p. m. for use as a reading room and library. He offers to supply the tables with copies of the standard magazines and newspapers, special preference being given to the pubs and clubs of the under-served New York Age. Again Prof. Arnold has shown an alertness that springs from his forceful Western training, and has correctly sized up the situation in the city responsible for so much of petty crime, drunkenness, and social deprivation among its colored youth. To the contemplates opening a night school, the women and such of the young people who are compelled to work during the day. This school will open early in December and last four months! All that is asked is that at the very least, fifty persons give their patronage to commence with. Out of the 5,000 colored population, there ought to be found at the very least two to gladly seize their opportunity to improve meage and defective schools. Here is a chance for old as well as young to learn at least the Three R's, and the possibilities for our young men and women seeking proper preparation to take the civil service examinations and otherwise qualify themselves for a business career, are manifold. We are pleased with all the Aristotle, and hope that will add to the good record of all obstacles and good agreements. We are with him heart and seen as long as he continues to be with and for us. Out of some twenty applicants for the position of principal of the Willismorton Graded School, to succeed the late lamented Prof. J. H. Folt, who died rather suddenly early in the fall. Mr. John H Green, a former teacher in the High Point, C. Academy, was the applicant, as well as is now in charge of the school, with ten assistant teachers and giving general satisfaction. Prof. Green is a native son of Wilmington and a graduate of her several schools. He is also a graduate of the State A & M College at Greenhoto, N. C. Standing high in the class of '05, at which time he received the degree of B. S. Mr. Green is a young man still in the twenties, an excellent and enviable record behind him. He is a prime favorite in the ultra set of Willismorton single, with bright prospects and a large future for even greater good before him. Rev J. A. Bonner D. D., pastor of Chestnut Street Presbyterian church and principal of the Peabody Graded School, is to be congratulated on having secured a thorough renovation, enlargement and full equipment of his school building by the authorities. The building in its finished condition ranks with the best in the State. The people of the county own their appreciations by flooding the school with scholars. Some 600 children are enrolled, and the daily attendance. Soon the authorities will be compelled to further enlarge this building or replace it with an entirely new one, out-and-out. Two n.e. teachers have been added on account of the increased attendance, and Miss Mabel Jackson and Miss Alverta Noye are now numbered among our public school teachers. Charter for the New Carpenters' Union The New York district council of the Brotherhood of carpenters announced last week that the national executive committee of the brotherhood has granted a charter to a local in this city composed allotment of Negroes. There was strong opposition to the charter of the German locales who held that there should be no disjunction as to color in the union and that the Negro carpenters should join the other locals, but were ontracted. Since then it has become known that the shored men themselves preferred a separate local. Some time ago Mr. John D. Rochefeller offered to give $20,000 toward the creation of Young Men's Christian Association building for the colored of the District of Columbia on the condition that they would raise an additional $20,000. The required sum and something like $10,000 more was raised in less than a month the twenty-six days to be exact. The story of the meeting the requirements of Mr. Rochefeller's gift is an important chapter in the history of the colored people of Washington. It shows their ability to act in an organized capacity and illustrates a disposition which, I think, is increasing among the members of my race in every part of the country to unite to help themselves. The first attempt to establish a Young Men's Christian Association for colored men in Washington was made in 1894. A group of some twenty men, representing various occupations and different religious, denominations, composed the first organization. During the first year they added some 600 others to the organization. With this number of active workers they decided to erect a building, one which could be adequate to meet the population of the city's groop population in the United States, and a building at the same time appropriate to adorn the capital of the nation. They secured the services of Mr. Lewis E. Johnson, secretary of the association at Buxton, Ia. Buxton is a Negro mining camp, which has been converted into a model town, largely thru the Negro Yemen 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 visited E. Oloorland. He was of the three secretaries of the foreign department 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 Washington would raise the other two-thirds, but Mr. Moorland and Mr. Johnson made up their minds that the whole sum should be raised among the colored people. They spent two months in preparations. They began by sending out letters and making addresses urging all members to attend Sunday meetings. Then they secured a storeroom in a building at the corner of Twelfth. and streets, owned by the True Reformers, a colored fraternal organization. This was where they made their headquarters. Lists of names were made out embracing every vocation in the community, 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 series 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, withajapanese Bingling school, teacher in the Manual Training School, minister. These committees met separately, each preparing its own plans of campaign, and after all of the preliminary work had been completed two joint meetings were held. Then the canvass began. The Young Men's Committee divided itself into teams, each with a captain. A generous rivalry at once sprang up among the different teams, each seeking to accomplish more than the other in the work in hand, and they were all united in their desire to outdo the Citizens' Committee. They added stimulate interest a chart was designed to bring on the wall, upon which was recorded every day the amount raised by each one of the teams and by the Citizens' Committee. A large clock was devised with a dial four or five feet in diameter, which showed every hour of the day the amount of money that had been raised up to that time. This was placed in a window with a strong light to illuminate it at night. A thermometer was constructed to show the total amounts raised every day. A careful report was kept of each day's work, the names of the people visited by the canvassers and the amounts received as the annuaries progressed the enthusiastly greed. At one public meeting subscriptions amounting to $1,000 were obtained. Henry W. Chase, an employee of the Government Printing Office, gave $500. Mr. Chase was born a slave, a plain, unassuming man who has saved his wages and invested his capital until he is now well-to-do. Having no family of his own, he thought this, as he says, "A fine investment for his money." Another young man, a teacher, gave $200. At the end of four weeks the sum of the subscriptions amounted $1,000. At the present time it has reached the amount of $4,000. About one half of this money has been spent. With this money a lot has been purchased at a cost of $9,000. It is now proposed to raise the amount of money to be expended on the land, building and equipment to $100,000. Part of this sum will undoubtedly be furnished by the central association. It is believed the rest of that amount can be obtained in Washington. With this sum it will be possible to erect a building that is in every way adequate and architectually beautiful. It should be a monument to the good will of the people of Washington and the self-sacrifice of the colored people. Should do wrong if I express that the white people of Washington may not be esteemed and had not aided in the raising of this money. The committee in charge was composed of both white and colored men. President Wilbur P Thirkield was president. Many other were generous in the aid they lent the enterprise. The erection of such a building, largely through the efforts of the ored people themselves, will have a reaching influence for good in the community. One prominent business has tried to exorcise the thing in figu he said: "This is worth a million lars to the city." THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT Auditor Tyler Asks Assistance for Colored Social Settlement— Wedding of Prof. Glenn—Hod Carriers in Labor Parade. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
