RACE NOT DOWNTRODDEN BUT UPTREADING Says Dr. Washington in Brilliant Sunday Address at St. Mark's Church "GREAT SNAKES!" AT THE Y. M. C. A. Rev. Merris's Serial Sermons at Abyssinia Baptist Chruch—National Baptist Convention to Meet in New York in 1906—Services at St. James'—Twenty-fifth Anniversary of St. Mark's Lyceum. Last Sunday morning at St. Mark's M. E. church Dr. Booker T. Washington addressed a large audience in his usual practical and inspiring vein. He advised the people to save their money to buy homes. Dr. Washington said that the present outlook for the Negro is more hopeful than ever; that the race is not downtrodden, upreadening. He advised husbands to take their wives into their confidence, and keep their insurance policies paid up, completely overhauling their business at least twice a year. Mrs. Mayne E. V.

Services at St. James' Presbyterian church of well attended and inspiring. Rev. C. LeRoy Butler conducted the morning service at 11 o'clock. He preached an eloquent sermon, taking as his subject, "The Duty of Watchfulness." This command of watchfulness was given that all might be prepared for the Lord's coming. He made a strong plea in favor of the law closing the theatres In the afternoon Dr. Washington was dined by Dr. Brooks. Those present were: Dr. Roberts, Mr. G. W. Allen, Lawyer E. A. Johnson and R. C. Simmons. In the evening Dr. Washington addressed the St. Ann's P. E. church in Brooklyn. Thursday evening the St. Mark's Lyceum observed its twenty-fifth anniversary. St. Mark's library represents of several literary societies were present. The anniversary address was delivered by Mr. Roscoe Conkling Simmons; the historic address by Mr. Arthur W. Handy, and the salutary by Mr. Cleveland G. Allen. Light refreshments were served after the exercises. Next Sunday Dr. W. L. Hunter, of Brooklyn, will address the Y. M. C. A. on $3d street. His subject will be "The Benefit of Wisdom." This lecture should be heard by all those who have more money than wisdom. Last-Sunday the Williams delivered entitled "The Serpent's Tooth" and "We Want the Earth." The latter lecture concerned itself with Henry George's "Single Tax" scheme, which Prof. Williams said was glorious but impracticable, although some way should certainly be found whereby the great mass of people should own the land. "The Serpent's Tooth" was the most interesting lecture delivered here for some time. After showing that a snake's "stinger" serves it merely as tongue, feeder and ears, the professor said that he will not snake with him to illustrate his lecture, Mr. Bell then insisted on taking up the collection before any snake were shown. Bird in the hand! The professor then took his snakes one by one out of some bags. They ranged in size frm the small hog-nosed snake to a pine snake 7 feet long and an 8-foot bull snake. They were pretty specimens. Prof. Williams said that snakes were the cleanest and most timid animals living; but the audience didn't seem to agree. He had even brought in a bull snake down the aisle where a general rush for the door. Prof. Williams asked Mr. Allen to the bag while he put the pine in. Mr. Allen consented, but Prof. Williams got the snake's in. Mr. Allen dropped the bag and ew, saying "I renig." Prof. Williams said that the king make was worse than Jack Johnson and Joe.Gans put together. (In that case I shouldn't want to meet him.) When he took it from the bag the whole house shouted, "Good Lord!" so the picture, or raiser, object of it, was an instructive. Mr. C. M. acre, however, should especially honored, as yesterday was the first time that the professor ever delivered his snake lecture free. He is known to have the largest private collection of snakes in the world, and he handles them with impunity. The whole secret of handling snakes, he says, is not to fear them, and to let them know that they need not fear you. On December 27 the female friend of the Y. M. C. acre, concert. Hundreds should attend, for he mission only ten cents. The M. C. A. is trying to raise $500 this month.

Miss Katharine Bradford and the entire management are to be congratulated upon the success that crowned their ambitions undertaking both from the audience and from the church. Miss Eunice Turner, "Bethlehem's Nightingale" impersonated the role of Queen, and although suffering from a severe attack of throat trouble rendered her part with great relief, "King Bohnharzar" and charmed the audience with his wondful voice and dramatic art. Mr. William H. Briggs, who is well known throughout Albany as a dramatic soloist, took the part as "Daniel," and charmed his hearters in his rendition of the cantata. Mr. David Lewis represented a high priest; Mr. Solofinia Dunham, Lord of the Court; Mrs. Sadie Thomas, Lady of the Court; Mr. Arthur Flobbs, as Hamamiah; Miss Katharine Bradford, as Mary Simmons, as Jewish maidens.

Colored Passengers were the South cowcatcher than the North cowcatcher of color, by the railroads of law, and reflects the privalling moral sense of the ruling masses in the South. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION THE HOME OF THE MASTER OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN Residence of Prof. Talbert, Wilberforce, Ohio One-half of the ticket tariff levied on colored passengers is downright robbery under the lying makehift of equal but separate accommodation, which falls far short of one-half the facilities and comforts accorded white passengers who pay the fare. The question of questions is, when will the South, through legislation or moral evolution, remove this caribbean from its body, or failing to do so, when will the leaders of the race exercise the sense and manhood necessary to put the monstrosity out of business. The first frommiling of this direction has been loaded the lonely woman of Tennessee, who forced a decision in favor of decent treatment for her race on all Jill Crow roads. When the men of the race show similar pluck to that displayed by Miss Georgia Edwards, it will not be long before a complete revolution will take place in the railway accommodation of colored transporters. As the situation is now, colored passengers have the right to report all complaints against railroads to the Interstate Railroad Commission at Washington, D.C. I will be done on every road where, inferior provision is made for colored passengers and the situation will be solved. The above editorial is taken from the Christian Recorder. We endorse every word of the Recorder's sentiments. ONE BEAR HUNTER MISSING Pete the Bulldog was There, but Holt Collin was Not Invited. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 -- President Roosevelt and a few other foreign bear slayers ate a small, thin bear at the White House. The bear arrived from Mobile yesterday, especially for the occasion. It was a narrow chested, discouraged-looking bear—a regular moccadewolf of a bear. Among those preyed were nine piglets and the tums cabbage and a chorus of seven. The nine veterans of the President's recent campaign in the cannibale included Clive Metcalf and Harley Metcalf, who acted as guides; John O'Brien, Tom O'Brien, Major Amacker and Mr Vesey, Louis Amans who went with the President at the hunt; Surgeon-Gen. Rixey, official custodian of Poe the bulldog, who also hunted; John M. Parker, who entered in a place near St. Paul; Gifford Pinchot, representing the tums cabbage and the President Through some "overnight" Holliday, the colored bear hunter, who been accompanied the President on his hunt in Mississippi, failed to receive an invitation. The Afro Americans are indigent. BOOKER WASHINGTON'S APPEAL. For Christmas Things to Give to Negro Children. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: 10 THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK NET. For a number of years I have enjoyed the rare privilege of making an appeal through your paper, to friends for the gift of various kinds of Christmas remembrances for use among the Negro children in the plantation and rural districts of the South, where they have little if anything, to cheer and brighten the Christmas holiday season. Such gifts in the pay have been widely distributed through the medium of teachers who are in work in these rural districts, and have carried good cheer and happiness to hundreds. I should be very glad to serve as the medium of distributing any additional number of such gifts this year. Anything sent to me at the address given below will reach me and be used as above indicated. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Principal Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Dec. 1, 1907. Elks Hold Memorial Service—An Addition for Convent of Blessed Sacrament—Elder Crowder Slips into River at Baptism Ceremonies. Pittsburgh, Dec. 9. In order to save the expense of having a hall or room at a hotel, Mrs. C. Howard clark on Thursday gave the use of her magnification, city home, Forty-second and Locust streets, for a fair and amused tea for the benefit of the Lincoln Day Nursery for Colored Children. The entire lower floor, with its reception room, parlor, library, dining and breakfast rooms, was given over to the various tables, while visitors thronged the place all afternoon. Many outside the social pale gladly paid the admission fee in order to see the interior of a house famed as one of the show places of the neighborhood, and they were amply repaid. Many and many a visitor, a great many of whom were Afro-Americans, spent more time looking over the house than at the articles offered for sale, although a large sum was realized. The younger set were dispensing tea at the tea tables, prominent among them, present Mrs. Kate H. Lamar, Mrs. Hare, Mrs. River Ganache, Miss Frances Maule, Mrs. Charles Efstee, Miss Cartright, Mrs. Earle R Putnam, Miss Putnam, Miss Bessie Lewis, Mrs. Newlin, Miss Bessie Lockwood, Miss Louise Davis, Miss Eleanor Davis, Miss Mary Jones, Miss Josephine Holloway, Mrs B Deaver. When Ernest Hogan laughs the world laughs with him, "was the cry at the Grand Opera House last week. The popular "mobilized American" made his heart with the "Oyster Man" a two-picture song comedy, executed for the first time here by 30 Afro American artists, with music written by William H. Voley, son of Soham Voddy, who turns a large employment agency on Pine street of course. Hogan has a half-circle of a ballet-theater gender, with surprising possibilities for getting into trouble and laughable complications, makes his lives go fast, snappy and funny. Sunny Sum, his side partner, played by John Kooker, threw lunches of merriment into a performance filled with laughter stirs. There were plenty of good stock on hand beside chief among them being Miss Carita Day, a leader of society and a graduate of Tuskegee, and diminutive Miss Muriel Rielgold, best girl to the Oyster Man, and no wonder. Besides comedy of the knuckle-ball sort and singing and dancing in projections of South African life, the sentiment of the "side plantashtown" made a special appeal to the audience during the week. Believing that Santa Claus, notwithstanding his manifold activities at this season, has time to read "The New York Age," little Bessie Brown, of Rainbridge street, has written a letter to him care of your correspondent. Also, in order that he may not forget about her until he is rushed with Christmas orders, she has got her letter in early. It reads like this: "Dear Santa Claus;—Will you please bring me a doll and a double school bag, and some nice toys? You will find my stocking hanging by the mantel. Please, Kriss, will you bring me the platter for the dishes that you brought me last year?—Bessie Brown." Solemn services for comrades who had died during the year were held in the Bethel Church, Sixth street, near Pine on last Sunday afternoon by the members of The Octavius V. Catto Lodge, No. 20 of Elks, Rev. M. W. Thornton, pastor of the church, delivered the sermon of the Grant Williams, pulley, delivered the oology, Lawyer E. Waring, delivered the history of the Lodge. Following is the list of those who died during the year, and in memory of whom the services were held: Stephen Prescott, Simon Malson, John Johnson, Percy Tucker and John Evans. Mother Katharine Dresel, head of the convent of the Blessed Sacrament for Indians and Afro-Americans, located most outside of the city, is negotiating with William 'Chamberlain for the purchase of the large mansion, outbuildings and farm at the southwest corner of Knight's road and the Byerber's farm in Boulder. The carriage which Mother Dresel desires to buy is about 3,200 feet from the grounds of the convent, which is devoted to the care of poor Afro-Americans. As soon as the purchase is completed it will be used as an addition to the convent. The Chamberlain farm consists of 56 acres of land, on which are a large two-story ranston (stone), another two-story house, coach-house, barn and graery. Six acres are reserved at the suburban farm, and fifteen acres for farm rate at $15,000, making a total of $22.00. The property is probably worth close to $50,000. In a sprinkling of snow and hail that appeared to be central, ten converts to the Church of God and Saints of Christ of Philadelphia, were baptized in the Delaware river on Sunday afternoon. A crowd of several hundred people, mostly Philadelphians, were present, and a miracle by a miracle which befell Elder Joseph Crowdy who officiated Elder Crowdy was leading one of the women converts through the water, when his foot slipped on the mud of the river bed. As he was going down he released his hold on the candidate and by this means managed to save himself from going under the water. The incident unnerved some of those waiting to be converts through the chilling ceremony, and the baptism passed off without further excitement. After the converts changed their wet clothing services were held in the woods near the shore BISHOP TURNER MARRIES AGAIN Council of Blacks Forthade the Wedding—Bishop Turner Fourth Venture ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 7. Bishop Henry M. Turner, senior bishop of the A.M. F. church, noted for his burning speeches on every subject he touches, has given another proof of his independence. He has married Miss Laura P. Lemon, his private secretary. This marriage was forbidden as early as last June by the council of bishops on the ground that Miss Lemon had been divorced from Rev. Powell, one of the bishops. But how was stronger than the bishops' opinions, so Bishop Turner married anyhow. This is his fourth matrimonial venture. Young men, the venerable bishop is heating you, the outfit. BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS HOME SEEKERS SUCCESSFUL Afro-American Money "Looks Good" to Chicago Real Estate Dealers GLEN ELLYN ARISTOCRATS MAKE A FUSS Silly Protest of Imaginary Menace to Glen Ellyn Knocked Out by a Lone Woman—Mrs. Celia Parker Woolley Defends Race—Williams and Walker's Great Success. CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Where shall we live in these large American cities? Some years ago the only persons who had it in their power to answer this question were the real estate men, and their method of segregation meant all the evils that go with that form of social banishment. Colored people were classed with saloons, livery stables, blacksmith shops and other nuances that tend to depreciate real estate values. In the last few years real estate men of Chicago have not been able to have their own way in establishing rigid separations between white and colored people. directly from race hostility. Were a few of the most intelligent and influential citizens in Glen Ellyn or any other locality, urbane or suburban, to set themselves vigilant to judge their neighbors by their individual qualities without regard to race or color, to stop judging colored people as if they were all of one type and that the worst, these alleged commercial reasons would vanish into thin air. The more healthful and more tasteful in their ways of living than horries of our foreign population, not yet trained in American ways and habitation. The Negro is American born. In spite of the reeling against him he has demonstrated in many ways his right and merite as a self-supporting citizen. He has In a former letter to Tara Ack quite a full account was given of the success of the well-to-do colored people of this city in breaking down the wall of separation and in buying homes in some of the choicest resident districts of the city. In this crusade for better housing the city has been completely outwitted. Scores colored families are now living on streets and in residences that ten years ago seemed hopelessly beyond their reach. It can be also said that the property thus purchased by colored people has not depreciated in value. The result of this triumph of the colored man's money over the white man's prejudice, is that the real estate dealer now owns a house in the city, a man or woman who is able to pay from five to twelve thousand dollars for a residence or apartment building. All this is pertinent in connection with a recent occurrence in one of our suburban towns about 30 miles from Chicago. This village is made up of people who do not pose as Newport aristocrats, but are very proud of the clean moral atmosphere of their community. All might have gone well for the peace and happiness of these self-satisfied dwellers in Glen Ellyn had it not been for the desire of two estimable young colored men to seek these same sylvan blessings for their families. The young men in question were George and his brother, both young business men and highly thought of for their character and general deportment. They bought homes in the village with no thought or desire of disturbing the serenity of the inhabitants. They have been living there in peace and quiet for over two years, but it seems they were not discovered until a few days ago. All at once there two young men, with their wives, were arrested to the fact that they were the innocent cause of a real village rumpup. A real estate dealer of the village, with more time than business on his hands, called the citizens together in a solemn mass meeting to consider the advisability of entering into some sort of contract to sell no more property to people of African descent, to make more concessions, and would allow for the two colored families already domiciled there. One speaker after another arose and declared themselves unalterably opposed to selling property to colored people. Some of the speakers, evidently feeling somewhat ashamed of their position, protested that they had no objection to colored people, "as such," because they had fought to free the slaves, etc. At this point a tinnid little colored woman arose, and in a trembling voice reminded the speaker that he must not take too much glory to himself, as the colored people had fought to free themselves, and in a few words utterly confounded the other would be masters scheduled to speak against NEGro invasion. The villagers soon began to realize how silly they were in protecting against an imaginary menace to the community. The papers of the city gave much attention to the incident and Mrs. Celia Parker Woodland of the Frederick Douglass Center, who is ever vigilant in championing the cause of the colored people, made a very apt comment in the Evening News, a part of which is as follows: The action of the residents of Glen Ellyn in trying to exclude colored people from their village is but another instance of that race prejudice which is the most serious memoir in our national safety and morality history. Is of the certain citizens of Hyde Park who, because a great crime was recently committed by a colored man in that district, are trying to deprive all colored people of a chance to work and earn an honest living. I do not refer here to the reported action of the Improvement Society that took no such action, but to the policy and behavior of certain private citizens. It is time white people began to consider the reactionary effects of this kind of treatment. If colored people are not allowed to eat their own such as their taste and means select, but are compelled to herd together in the poorest quarters of the city where there is no adequate sanitary provision and where the moral influences are the worst, they are not able to eat and women are to be deprived of the chance to earn a living who is to blame if they seek criminal ways of earning a living. In the charge that the presence of one colored family in a neighborhood depreciates the value of property, that is probably true. But why is it true? Because white public sentiment has decreed it shall be true. Not because they are not or orderly than their neighbors—in many cases the reverse is true. In this case the so-called commercial considerations spring "John Brown of Ossawatotie," the sublime hero of Harper's Ferry, was celebrated in song and story in the assembly room of the Frederick Douglass Center last Sunday afternoon: Rev. J. F. Thomas, of Elenzeen Baptist church, and Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, of Abraham Lincoln Center, were the orators of the occasion, and made stirring addresses. These annual celebrations of the work of the anti-slavery heroes are yearly becoming more and more a part of the spiritual life of the colored people. It gives us a bracing sense of appreciation of what it meant to stand up and fight the slavery of the Garrisons, Douglasses, the Whittiers and John Brown insisted that there should be no peace in this country until the mantel of freedom covered every man, woman and child. ASTRIDE THE FENCE. National Committeeman Lyons in the Air and Afraid to Jump AUGUSTA, Ga., Dec. 7—If Judson Lyons again secures a berth as National commissitee it will only be after a hard fight, and the chances are now against him here. His hide-and-seek game, as to which man he prefers for President, and the fact that the voters of Georgia believe he simply wants the place for trading purposes, he will be forced to position to him here. It is known that he wants to secure an office for himself under the next administration, probably his former position, that of Register. It may be accepted as authoritative, therefore, that Georgia will not return Mr. Lyons again as a member of the National committee. To some people Lyons is for Foraker, to others he says he is for the nominee, though all the time secretly striving to get on the wagon of any old candidate. Another Lynching in Alabama. A news dispatch in the Atlanta Constitution from Opp. Ala., says: "Neal Sanders, a young Negro man, was shot to death near here this afternoon by an angry mob of citizens of Covington county, after he had been identified by Mrs. Ellis, a farmer's wife, whom he criminally assaulted near here to-day at noon. "About three hundred shots were fired into the Negro's body and after being bound, he and the body tied to the back of a biggy and dragged through the streets of Opp and through the Negro settlement of the town." It would be well for the reputation of Alabama to investigate and find out whether the alleged perpetrators of these assaults are guilty, or if guilty, permit the assaults to be dealt with the culprit. Too many times we have the innocent suffered. It is time to call a halt. Stamford Notes An interesting debate was held at Union Baptist church, Stanford, Monday, subject, "That Self-indulged Idleness Drinking." Rev. C. H. Thayer exasperated; judges, G. Madison, J. E.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10—Last Wednesday evening marked the thirty-third milestone of Mr. John A. Lankford, the popular architect and builder, and as a token of regard a group of his friends tendered him a birthday surprise party—and it was a "surprise" indeed, for the recipient had no intimation of the happy event until he walked into the parlors of his spacious home at 1210 V street, and found gathered therein as congenial a company as ever graced a Washington household. Among them were: Messrs. W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury; Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor for the Navy Department; John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia; H. P. Shaughter, of the Government printing office and superintendent of St. Luke's P. E. Sunday school; G. U. O. Houston, grandfather of G. U. O. F. W. H. C. Brown, attorney at law; A. E. Lankford, architect; and R. W. Thompson, of the War Department and manager of Thompson's National News Bureau. After a social session the guests and the "surprise" were ushered into the dining room where a table laden with good things had been prepared, under the direction of Mr. Lankford's accomplished "better half," who is well known in the community. Misty C. Josephine Upshaw, a granddaughter of Bishop Turner, she was a "signing belle. With Register Vernon as toastmaster, each gentleman responded to an appropriate sentiment. all in complimentary vein touching the genial head of the household in which the festivities were being held.

Washington is president; president of the District of Columbia branch of the National League; is head of a number of fraternities; is organizer of a fraternity; is a scholar and director of many corporate institutions, and a worker in every movement that has for its aim the uplift of the people and the awakening of the public spirit and race pride of the masses. This gathering at his home, in his honor, embracing as it did some of the foremost big- force in the business, social and al life of the race. Mr. Lankford as deeply touched by the kindness of his friends and his response was full of fine feeling and bespoke a stronger hopeful for the future. he bridesmaids at the Glenn-Bruce he were: Misses Angelina Grimke Beatrice Lewis, and the attendants Misses Annie Howard, Jessie kies, Carrie Lee and Wearie Waring, Jessie Waring, James A.

The weather was ideal—as balmy as a day in May, and the sun was in his kindiest mood. Bishop Geo. Wylie Clinton, of the Sixth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Zion church, preached a masterly "The Meaning of God's Call to Abraham," pointing out that when a great work is to be done, God never fails to prepare a man for that work, bringing him out of unfavorable environments that he may develop into the kind of a force needed for the accomplishment of the Divine will.

President W. P. Thirkield has returned from New York where he went to confer with Mr. Calegrie over the plans and method of maintaining the proposed building. The gift is the outgrowth of the visit of Mr. Calegrie to the university on the occasion of the fortieth anniversary. Upon inspecting the pre-structure he felt it wholly and lascively housing of a library of the proportions needed by an institution of Howard's scope, and he decided that he would show his appreciation of the institution's magnificent possibilities remediating this glaring deficiency. The building will be located on an imposing site within the campus, and work will be commenced as soon as practicable. Another structure in prospect is a Science Hall, for which the alumni has pledged $2,500 of the $100,000 required. President Thirkield's administration is beginning most auspiciously, more than realized as a sequentiation of the institution as a scholarly executive but as a successful money-getter as well. He happily combines the practical with the ethical in his managerial policies. Rev Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the 10th Street Baptist church, represented the colored societies of the District on the program of the recent convention of the United Christian Endeavor Societies of the District of Columbia, held at the New York Avenue Presbyterian church. Echo meetings were held in several of the colored churches, to listen to the reports of their delegates. Dr W. S.

Make a Deep and Beneficial Legal Point of Great Interest to All. In the Sixth District Court of Brooklyn Counsel E. A. Johnson appeared for a tenant who had been served with a dispossess proceedings for not paying his rent September 1, 1907, when it was due. The "dispossess" was ordered October 1, 1907, and the tenant was then moving out, but could not finish paying his heavy machinery before October 5. The tenant was then asked to check for the September rent, which the landlord refused to accept, and brought suit against the tenant for the rent both of September and October, claiming the full rent for the whole month of October, although the tenant had only remained in possession of the premises for five days in the month of October. The tenant, in his defense, admitted and offered to pay the rent for September and five days in October, but denied the landlord's right to collect for the full month of October when the tenant possessed only five days in that month. Counsel Johnson quoted the following decision of the Appellate Court on this subject which strongly supports his contention for the tenant, his client "Defendant was tenant of certain premises at an agreed rental of $480 per annum, payable monthly in advance, non-tenant, and furnished by a firm instituted summary proceedings to remove him. The precept was issued March 19, the final order for his removal was rendered April 9, and he vacated the premises after the former warrant was removed. Damniff the defendant to recover the installment due March 1 and also the installment claimed to have become due April 1. The justice allowed recovery for the rent of both months, and the installment was entitled to the March installment in full, as having been payable by the terms of the agreement, when the precept was issued, and also the reasonable payment from April 1 to April 10 as being a period as to which the agreement made no special provision, and joint recover both accounts in one petition from the lease, though vs. 47 N. Y. Tolstoy Work, 21 McGraw-Hill vs. 47 N. Y. Ship, 185 Appalachian T. The judge has the question under ad- visement, and we shall watch with interest the result, as it is vitally important that every tenant in New York should know whether or not he is bound to have paid a whole month's rent to the landlord. If he does not pay the two days after the landlord has notified him to vacate. From the discussion in this case both tenants and landlords will know how to act under similar circumstances. It is a deep legal point that Counsellor Johnson has raised and of great interest to landlords and tenants who, through its power, may be enlightened as to their rights. To a layman it would seem hardly possible that the people of New York, through the Legislature and courts, would say that a tenant who is "dispossessed" in September and who commences to move and remains over five days in October to finish moving, should pay for the full month of October, and thank the landlord for the Court as quoted by Counsellor Johnson above, strongly supports our view of this matter.

Separate Railroad- Coaches in Oklahoma The news dispatches bring the expected tidings in the way of race prejudice in Oklahoma. Governor Haskell, who makes the recommendation for separate coaches, is a renegade from the State of Ohio. He thinks he can make himself solid with the ignorant portion of the white people of Oklahoma by a crusade in the direction of race prejudice at once. Many of the wisest friends of the race warned the Afro-Americans in Oklahoma when they were advocating statehood instead of territorial government, that they would repent. We hazard the statement that the average Afro-American in Oklahoma has already regretted many times that he voted for statehood. There is a class of white people in that State who are, going to do their utmost to make Oklahoma a Southern State in everything that the term implies. We predict that there will be an interesting time in separating a Creek Indian from an Afro-American. We advise our people in Oklahoma not to submit tamely to anything in the way of injustice, but to stand up and demand their rights and see that they are granted, even if they have to take their case to the very highest courts in the land. Divided by Canada Divided by Greeds Would it not be better for the race were we not divided by creeds? Would it not be an assistance in bringing about race unity if our churches were not such sticklers for creeds? Would it not be a wise and beneficial move if our race witnessed a big religious merger—all churches merging into one great church, taking no note of creeds? We have no word of exclusion for those who prefer to lay emphasis upon some phrases of the older thought, but we prefer the emphasis to be placed on the more immediate problems. We prefer the practical service for the living issues, and we would listen intently to those great free words that have drifted across the centuries, "He hath showed thee, O man, what is good. And what doth the Lord require of thee but to deal justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God." This should be the spirit and purpose of our actions. Not with how many of the theories about Christ do we believe, but how much of His love will we share. If a man or woman shall come to us saying, "I have not yet developed a satisfactory system of theology and I have no creed, but I want to do all the good I can by living right, to that person there should be a welcome some place. Why should we have a fixed creed? The opinions of to-day may change next year. Our minds and hearts should be open to more light and life. Why wish for so much truth to day that we cannot have more to-morrow? Why wish to be born so much to-day that we cannot be born again to-morrow? Why try to determine a man's character by his creed, or define the bounds of his religions fellowship by the dogmas he may profess? Why not prefer our satisfactions and our fellowship with the religion of a good life? It may be that the existing forms of religious organization do not cover the entire field of noble endeavor. There is even a wide field occupied by some of the noblest forms of life and service that the accepted standards of religious judgment do not recognize. There have been many men and women of noble life and noble deeds, and the highest ideals, like Lincoln, Florence Nightingale, Emerson, Longfellow, Garrison, Cooper, and many others who were denied the Christian name, although they had wrought nobly for mankind, simply because they did not subscribe to the accepted creeds. Now this is a question for Negro ministers to discuss, and for our laymen, too. Would it not be better for the race were we not divided by creeds? Turz Acz will glally publish short, succinct answers from our ministers and laymen to this question. Washington Jim Crow Cars As anticipated, a Jim Crow street-car bill has been introduced in Congress by Congressman Hefflin, a Democrat. Of course the bill will never be reported back from the committee to which it was referred, but that will not be because the Democrats are not in earnest about it. It is too near a National election for favorable action on it, and many Northern Congressmen have too many Negro constituents to fear to favor it. However, were a Democratic Congress the hill would pass, and should the next Congress be Democratic the same, hill will hold us, and in that case it will become a law. There is no question but what the white population of Washington will welcome such a law. There is perhaps no Southern city in which race prejudice is more rank than right at the Nation's Capital, and this, too, in spite of the infux of Northern people. The increase of race prejudice in Washington has been accepted, by some, as a result of the increase in government departments of white clerks from the South. Fully one-fourth of the clerks in the departments to-day are from the South. They go to Washington, and being forced to work alongside of colored clerks every day their natural antipathy for the race becomes inflamed, and at once they proceed to spread the virus of race prejudice throughout the city. In many of the big department stores a colored woman now is not even treated with common decency. Their trade is neither solicited or desired. There is not now a theatre in Washington that will seat a colored patron in any place other than the gallery. Yet, in spite of this discrimination there are fools—pardon the blunt designation, who continue to patronize these playhouses. Afro American Press Association We wonder what has become of the Afro-American Press Association? Can Mr. Syrus Field Adams answer this question. There has been no meeting of this organization for a long while. It is reported that when it did meet last there were only two or three individuals present and the rest being represented by proxies. It is further reported that there were not enough present to elect the officers without the use of of the proxies. Some say that Mr. Adams does not call a meeting of the association for fear he will lose his office as president. We do not believe this assertion, but it is very important that Mr. Adams get to work and put a little life and activity into this important organization. It can be used to accomplish a great deal of good in strengthening and unifying the work of the press. It ought not to be permitted to die in the way that it is now doing. What's a Nogrg Life? On Thanksgiving morning, Frank Brown, son of ex-Governor Brown, of Maryland, after making the rounds of some of the drinkology places in Baltimore, sent his automobile along at a reckless speed, ran down and killed a Negro named James Grinnell. When arrested he emphatically denied his guilt. He even went further, and tried to, fasten the murder—for murder it was—on another autoist, an unknown person. Two days later, after he saw the fruitlessness of trying to hide his guilt, he confessed. A coroner's jury, trucking to the high and mighty, deaf to the rights of the poor and humble, holding the life of a Negro as it would a mere phantom, exonerated Brown, and brought in a verdict declaring that the Negro victim, James Grinnell, came to his death by his own negligence. What an appalling indifference to the life of a Negro! As a balm for the bereaved widow and child of the man who was so ruthlessly ushered into eternity on the day set apart for giving thanks, Governor Brown is reported to have said he would provide for the widow and fatherless child. Is that all Justice holds in her scales for a widow and child whose husband and father was hurried into the next world without reason or justification? Is a Negro's life held so cheaply that in order to gratify the pleasure and whims of the rockless rich he can be murdered and then the affair hushed up with a verdict so monstrous unjust as to shock even hell itself; can't be hushed up by attempting to dry the gushing tears of a widow; by attempting to still the sobs of a child robbed of a father by giving gold? Such a ruthless desolation of life, such an unwarranted verdict by a prejudiced jury suggests the question, "What's a Negro life?" The Negroes of Baltimore owe it to themselves, owe it to this hereaved widow, and to the fatherless child, to prosecute this reckless son of a rich sire; this man who runs over and kills one of their race with no more feeling than follows the killing of a dog, to the fullest extent. Had the order of things been reversed, and the victim been a white man, and the murderer a Negro, the jury would not have dared to render a verdict that makes the dead cry to heaven, from out a new-made grave—Oh, God, Justice!! Brownaville and Negro Soldiers We have watched carefully the conduct of the Afro-American soldiers who were dismissed from the 23th Infantry by President Rosevelt several months ago, and we are putting in print that which we have heard many express in words, and that is, during all this trying period no one has heard a single utterance from these soldiers that was unbecoming or unmany. They have conducted themselves during all this trying period in a spirit of modesty and at the same time with frankness and courage. They have not been noisy; they have not disgraced the race by loudness or intoxication; they have gone on quietly and found other work and are pursuing THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY DECEMBER It. Their conduct goes far to reflect credit not only upon the Afro-American soldier, but upon the rife throughout the continent. time to be as active in politics as his mature inclines him. The press dispatches report the mar- LINCOLN INST Dr. Allen Teschan —Honor for Mine Demanding Lessons It seems that the Negro Democratic organization in Boston, known as the Suffrage League, is a prophet without honor in its own country. It seems to hate Senator Lodge with a venomous hatred, but this did not prevent Senator Lodge being made chairman of the recent Massachusetts State Republican convention. It will not prevent his being re-elected to the Senate. It does not seem to prevent his standing by the President. This Negro Democratic Suffrage League in its opposition to Governor Guild seems to have brought about the result that he was elected by over a hundred thousand, larger than any Governor has received in recent years. The Barbary South In another column we publish an item taken from the Montgomery Daily Advertiser that illustrates the reckless and barbarous manner in which human beings are shot down in many Southern cities. How is it possible for the Southern people to be classed among civilized races as long as they commit murder whenever they feel like it? It is not the duty or right of a policeman to shoot down an individual simply because he runs. If this right were granted to a policeman murder would be constantly committed in all of our large cities. It is only in the barbarous South that this practice obtains. Harmony Needed The members of Mt. Olivet Baptist church owe a duty to themselves and their race to at once harmonize the differences now existing among them. Such actions as have characterized their proceedings are a disgrace, and tend to bring reproach on the race. There should not be required at any time in a Christian church officers of the law to preserve order. Pastor and flock should at once get together. Mt. Olivet, if it continues to row, will not find it an easy matter to get a good, strong man as its pastor. Dr. Gilbert is a strong, forceful preacher, and to his credit let it be said he is clean and upright in character. Mt. Olivet people, get together. Let Christian love abound. --- We are very much pleased to note that the Christmas number of the New York School Journal, volume LXXV, No. 20, contains an excellent article, "Educational Work at Lincoln Institute," from the scholarly brain of our own Mrs. Josephine Silone Mrs. Yates, who very acceptably conducts the "Educational Department" of the Colored American Magazine—a new and valuable feature of the magazine—and also writes interesting news notes for this paper of happenings at Lincoln Institute, is well known as a versatile writer and forceful educator. In planning for Christmas T10, Ace would suggest to its many readers a thought for the deserving poor. In New York city we have many worthy organizations that are doing splendid work and deserve to be remembered by the members of the race. St. Philip's Parish Home for the Aged, Mrs. Kate V. Carman, treasurer, 54 Wall street; the Hope Day Nursery, in 35th street, Mrs. E. E. Greene, manager. The Home for Aged Colored People in Brooklyn, under the auspices of the King's Daughters, Mrs. T. L. Fisher. Remember them. That Oklahoma Legislature was not slow in introducing a Jim Crow bill. Secretary Taft made a special trip to Oklahoma to oppose the adoption of the constitution proposed, which admitted of Jim Crow laws, but in spite of his interest was not able to stem the tide. He well knew that if the constitution was adopted Jim Crow laws would follow. He, at least, rendered the race a service in attempting to defeat the adoption of a constitution unfavorable to the race. ```markdown ``` The time has come when any colored man who simply spends his time in trying to create factional fight and in pulling down members of the race, will and himself very lonely. Our people are in favor of race unity and work along constructive lines instead of race disunion and the tearing down of men and enterprises. For the position said to have been selected for an Afro-American by the Republican organization of Kings-county, we are for the appointment of W. R. Lawton. He has all of the necessary qualifications and has been always faithful. The local Negro Business League of Greater New York is doing effective and practical work in "organizing our people and inducing them to enter business. It is also doing fine work in teaching them how to combine their efforts in the direction of helping each other instead of wrangling and fighting. The City Times of Galveston, Tex., nominates Dr. Washington for a Cabinet position. Is not the Times editor fearful of incurring the enmity of the Boston Mud-Scow? Brother Chase of the Washington Bee, has his hands so full with the Washington school question that he has not The press dispatches report the marriage of Bishop Turner in Atlanta, Ga. The Ace extends him and his bride hearty congratulations. Considering all the fuss it raises, one would think that Ohio was the only State in the Union, and the other forty-four were simply territories. A nice Christmas present for a Negro editor would be the paying up of old subscriptions. Speaking about the Washington school controversy, was there ever, such an old-maidish affair as this? Don't leave, Dr. Gilbert, the people desire you to remain. DR. D. H. WILLIAMS. Famous Chicago Surgeon Vinta Southern College. The Nashville Tennessee thus refers to visit to visit the last week of, Dr. Daniel H. Williams Chicago, and our Dr. J. A. Kenney: "Dr. D. H. Williams, the eminent surgeon, of Chicago, is again in the city, conducting clinics for the Meharry Medical college. Dr. Williams is one of the most dexterious and successful surgeons of the country. His name always recalls the fact that he is the first surgeon that ever successfully operated on and sutured the human heart with success. No surgeon of his time operates with more facility, precision, ease, accuracy and, with better results than he. He has an exact knowledge of anatomy, and a same courage that few surgeons have. He is a Monday afternoon to the students of Meharry on 'Surgical Technique.' He is accompanied by Dr. J. A. Kenney, physician and surgeon to the Tuskegee Institute. He comes as special anesthetizer for Dr. Williams. "After a very brilliant clinic at the Mercy hospital, Dr. Williams, accompanied by Dr. Kenney, as his assistant, went to Atlanta, where he operated upon the wife of Dr. H. R. Butler, one of the leading and oldest physicians of Atlanta. It is very gratifying to know that on this occasion the McVickar hospital at Spelman Seminary was for surgical surgeons and they were recorded every possible courtesy. On Monday of this week, Dr. Williams made a short visit to Tuskegee Institute, where he performed two very delicate operations of unusual intricacy which will mean much to the Institute hospital. On Tuesday, Nov. 19, he left for his home in Chicago, carrying with him the gratitude and the good will of the people of the Tuskegee Institute community, who are always ready to give him a welcome reception. He can please the time here. By reason of new additions, modern equipment, etc., the Tuskegee Institute hospital is now prepared to serve for operative cases with perfect satisfaction." CHARITABLE SOCIETIES. A Boston Writer Recommends New Organization. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: I enclose the following suggestion that you might bring it before your Boston and New York readers. Though different from you in color, at heart I am a friend to your race. My suggestion is that an Afro-American charitable society be formed. Every important city in the United States has an Irish or a Scottish charitable society. There is need of such an organization to provide material benefit to the people it would condone to their general harmony and peace, by bringing them together in a non-sectarian and non-partisan way. Boston, Mass. I, H. CAMPBELL Still an Isaac. From The National Baptist Union. The celebrated Negro question, or the so-called race problem, is still an issue in this country. Philosophers are still speculating; orators are still pouring forth eloquent diatribes; preachers are still leclaiming, and ignorant and prejudiced men are loud and lusty in their attempts to account for the aggravating how this problem may be solved. Here is another case where overagitation is more dangerous than no agitation at all. The Negro question will take care of itself, if prejudiced hot-heats and malcontents in both races will keep quiet, and let honest, conscientious men do the talking. There is no concealing the fact that there is too much prejudice in both races. A certain class of white people never think kindly of anything Negro may do, but the same prejudice governed by the same prejudice can find nothing good in the conduct, or utterances of a white man, however commendable these acts or utterances may be. The good people of both races, who believe in law and order, undisturbed social progress, and the prevalence of the Christian spirit, should discourage this class of people, and this character of prejudice wherever it may be found. Men who are not seeking the highest good of both races, or making most the faithful effort to will of all the people, without regard to race, color or previous conditions, should not be regarded as competent to instruct the people of either race what to do. Manhood. A letter which 'came into' The Aer office a few days ago, contained, among others, these few pregnant sentences, "What is all this fuss about manhood and manhood rights? I used to think manhood was a pretty good sort of a word, high sounding and noble, but it's getting so it makes me sick." "What the h—I is manhood, anyway?" This seems to put it up to us to explain. We shall do our best. According to the dictionary, manhood means: 1. The state of being a man, as distinguished from being a woman, a child, or any other sort of an animal. 2. The quality of being man-like, brave, dignified and so forth. That's what the word means according to the dictionary. When you hear it in the voice of the ordinary professional race patriot it's simply noise. It doesn't mean anything. It's a sort of college yell. Dr. Allen Teaches Practical Sociology —Honor for Mine H. Mabel Moorman. JEFFERSON *City*, Mo.-Dec. $.$ a practical lesson in sociology was given by President Allen when he suggested to the students of Lincoln Institute, a few days previous to the Thanksgiving holidays, that they attempt to distribute material comforts among the suffering poor of Jefferson City. Members of the Senior Class banded together and at once canvassed various districts of the city, and at devotional exercises gave very interesting accounts of the suffering they had observed, and of the inquiries they had made as to certain collections were taken among the students and faculty, which before Thanksgiving day amounted to a neat sum. The winter classes of Seniors and Juniors, supervised by a member of the faculty, then resolved itself into a purchasing committee and carefully placing their cause before the various merchants of the city was able to purchase for distribution many necessary articles of clothing, including shoes, hosiery, underwear and other items, and the articles of household wear. Twelve baskets of food also were well filled with chicken, food, sugar, meal, potatoes and other staples, sufficient for a good dinner and with a surplus for another day. The same committee distributed to the need the articles purchased and then and there learned that "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Thus, many hearts were made glad on Thanksgiving day by Dr. Allen's practical lesson in social science. On the day of Thanksgiving a testimonial service was rendered during which this "Sunshine Band"—which call it—gave to the faculty and their many interesting reports of the manner in which the gifts were received by various old people, who had no one to care for them. Miss R. Mabel Moorman of Baltimore, head of department of Domestic Art in Lincoln Institute, a few days since received from the Department of Education in New York city, official that the had been re-appointed to the Vacation Art department than city for the summer of 1905. This first received in 1906, was the result of a competitive examination taken and passed by Miss Moorman in 1905, and speaks well for her ability as instructor in her specialty. The host of friends of Miss Moorman in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Cheyney, New York and will be pleased to learn of this address and that of the flattering success that occurred her work at the head of the Domestic Art department in Lincoln Institute.

The Afro-Americans of this city are jubilant over the release of Thomas Archer on ball. As was reported in this collage, he was reported in the murder of the murder of Mrs. Ropesh-Bark Park View last September. The admission of bail is conciliate in the minds of all that the authorities have no evidence against him. Had there been the slightest intention to kill him, these he would have joined the countless millions. Drs. France, Reed, Bass, and Mr. A. Brumley secured the bail, which is $5,000.

Mrscan Wine & Yinces Bride A London letters says that among the passengers on the Steamer Sanau, which has just left Hamburg for Siera Leone, is a good looking Viennese girl, age 17, who is looking Viennese girl, her future husband a fullblood Negro from Rix, who is an importer at Freetown. Two years ago, when the cakewalk had attained the height of its popularity on the Vienna music hall stage, Rix was among there for a extraordinary agility to navigate. After a difficult land, which is a British possession on the west coast of Africa, he became the owner by inheritance of a ournishing importing business. An Austrian commercial traveller who called Vienna in found him enthusiastic about Vienna and its women folks, and at length Rix begged him to do his utmost to find him a Viennese bride. The visitor consented to insert an advertisement in the Vienna papers, but did not conceal his doubts as to whether any young woman could be found to accept the offer to go to Siera Leone. The advertisement daily appeared in print and although no secret was made of the fact that the would-be bridegroom was a man of color, answers poured in by the dozens, no fewer than 44 of them enclosing photographs. Rix selected a woman from a group of women at Doebling, a suburb of Vienna, and she, having approved of the pictorial likeness of the dusty bridegroom, is now on her way to her future home. Montgomery, ALA., Dec. 9, 1974. Sought by the police on the charge that he had stolen money from a Negro boy, Irving Williams, a Negro, was shot to death at 10 a.m. clock last night in Bowie homine officers, Curtis and Patrick discharged their pistols, and wry fired the fatal bullet that entered his heart's not known. Immediately after Williams was wounded he was hurried to police headquarters, and when it was learned that he was dangerously wounded, he was taken to St. Margaret's hospital. He died just as he was being taken into the hospital. The trouble about which Williams lost his life was caused by his theft of money was caused by a Negro, a lion, with whom he had come to Montgomery from Birningham. The lad, it is said, went to bed last night at a house near the corner of Julia and Decatur streets. Williams afterwards entered his room and asked for the lion dollar. Willie Smith invited Williams to look in his coat, hanging upon the wall, and take the dollar. Williams took the dollar and also, it is said, five or six others / Smith, discovering the theft, made warrant Williams and officers Curtis and Patrick were sent to perish him. Officers Curtis and perish him. Williams at a house in Gabriel's Quarter near Julia street. Officer Patrick opened the door of the room which Williams and a Negro woman occupied, Williams and a Negro woman occupied, and both leaped from the bed, Williams with a razor which he snatched from under his pillow. Williams leaped from the window, but he was fatally wounded and lay where he fell. A bullet from one of the weapons had entered his back and pierced his heart. Immediately the officers notified policequarters and Night Sergeant Ragland ordered the patrol wagon to Smith, in his buggy of Police Miles scene; Williams was placed in the wagon and hurried to police headquarters, where the City Physician, already summoned, awaited him. It was seen at office that Williams must have immediate attention, and he was removed to the St. Margaret's hospital but even at he arrived there he did. Nothing is known of Williams and Smith, who came yesterday from Birmingham. The police are seeking the woman who was with Williams at the time the officers sought to arrest him. AFRICA FOR THE BLACKS American Nebraska, Stirred Up by Lyonox, Dec. 7—There is an Ameri- can end to the threatened rebellion in Zutuland which it of considerable im- portance. It is asserted by those who know the situation as well that the upris- ing is part of a powerful movement over the continent, leading the equator, having for its use to "South Africa for the blacks." What is known as the Ethiopian movement has taken a firm hold upon the South African natives for years past. Friends of missionary effort present the charge that this is a political propaganda, but careful investigation shows that under the cloak of religious an agitation to drive the whites into the sea. The preacher came from America. They went first to Liberia and then spread to the territories south of the Zambezi river. They are described as Negroes who have absorbed most of the vices and law of the virtues of the white races. The effect of their work has been that tribal hostilities have almost disappeared, all the tribes uniting in one purpose. Ten years ago a black rising on a serious scale would have been impossible. The natives regarded the British as a rife invincible whites, who could prompt blot out any number of imps sent against them. The Boers were regarded by the natives particularly the Zulu, who would not stand for a week before themselves and who would only provide a mouthful for the British army. When the Boer war started they looked for its conclusion within a month at the most, but when the campaign lengthened into three years they lost respect in their soldier and sneered at him, using their childish logic. They reasoned that people who took three years to get through with a work that they could have finished as many weeks could not be as good as them selves. This delusion was helped by the British authorities, who paid kaffir transport men and other workers about double what they paid the soldiers. Argent that having this, the natives concluded white soldier received double the pay of a two-thousand one black must be worth stander in these circumstances that the British authorities are quite right in regarding the situation as very serious.

A few repast was served. Miss May Peterson played the wedding march. Last week the writer tried to talk about corn and how to raise it. H. left out a great many things that he should have said, partly on account of lack of space and very largely on account of the fact that he did not know all there was to be known about the subject himself. He is simply living up to his lights in the matter. Possibly when he hears from Karnes he will feel like hiding himself. We now come to the second year in the rotation—oats and potatoes. A great many farmers do not raise oats, claiming that they do not play. The writer thinks differently and bases his difference of opinion on these facts: First, the increasing price per bushel, the feed value to horses and other牧羊 animals at farms to be bushed is raised on one acre with a little labor; the value of the straw as bedding and the fact that raising oats, generally, improves the soil. The value of white potatoes is too well known to merit mention here further than to say that they can be raised successfully in every State from Maine to Florida. The ground in which oats and potatoes are to be grown is the last year's corn stubble. Just as soon as the frost is out of the ground the plow is started in that half of the corn stubble where oats will be sown. The plow is set to run about eight inches deep. After having laid about two weeks the ground is thoroughly harrowed three or four times, as for corn, the board harrow or drag is used just before drilling in the soil; this gives a fine compact seed bed. When a man has worked hard all day nothing is more satisfying to him than a good comfortable bed. Seeds, like men, thrive best in well-prepared beds. Each additional harrowing adds to the yield per acre. The writer sees to it that seeds to be sown are the cleanest and best to be had. This is very important, for instance, the writer will be at a neighbor's farm when he was sowing oats. The oats had not been cleaned. Instead the mice had been in them and destroyed nearly half. The consequence was that he had a very poor stand and got only a half crop. Since this piece of land was thoroughly manured last year for corn, only commercial fertilizer is used, costing about $10.50 per ton, and is drilled in with the oats at the rate of 200 pounds ace or the bushels of oats per acre is the right amount to be sowed. Oats are harvested about the last of August and are thrashed as soon as possible after. Potatoes can be planted in this section from the last of April until the middle of June with varying degrees of success. The writer prefers the first of May, when all danger of frost has passed. By this time the crimson clover that was sown at the last cultivation affords a rich sod to be turned down for this crop. At the proper time the seeds, specially selected as to quality and healthfulness, are planted in rows about two and one-half feet apart and seventeen inches in the row. If the potatoes are good bearers two eyes are enough to leave on each seed. Two hundred pounds of a high-grade fertilizer per acre is sown in the row with the seed. Cultivation begins as soon as the row is started and continued until the plants stick through the ground, when the spike-tooth harrow is run over them for the last time. When the rows can be seen from end to end cultivation begins with the single cultivator. Cultivation is continued with the dot cultivator until it is not safe to w at them longer. A farmer, when $ ^{2} $ by the writer, why he allowed so weeds to grow in his young corn field? (Do you think the corn "worn" if weeds are allowed shade young potatoes there "won't be potatoes", just as there would be ve little corn in that farmer's cornfield Hence this vigorous cultivation. Potatoes, as well as corn, should be kept as nearly clear of weeds as possible. The Colorado beetle or pota bug has left us, but a more pota enemy has taken his place. It is not object of this article to discuss the pota bug, but to explain its ability to the trouble, potato blight rot. The yield in some cases in this section has been reduced from one-half to two-thirds. The remedy is found careful selection of seeds and by spiking with Bordeaux Mixture, recommended by the State Department Agriculture. The potatoes are plow out for storage when the vines are d and the skins to cease to rub off the vines. The potatoes are to be cut into 65 cents and potatoes at 75 and 80 cup per bushel. This completes the sec year. Next week, winter grain. Hegins, Pa. Dec. 7. A FARM Tunkegean at New Bedford.

Oct 24-3 mos MOUNT OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH Keep the Pastor Humble We'll Keep Him Poor GILBERT'S STATEMENT Pastor of the Church Makes Known the Nature of the Trouble Through Which the Church Is Passing. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: Dear Sir—I have hitherto refrained from saying anything in the newspapers relative to the trouble through which we have been passing in Mount Olivet Baptist church, as I never like to intrude our church business upon the attention of the public until circumfences added necessary to know when theIBLE ought to know the nature of the trouble and why it is that I was compelled to tender my resignation some time ago. I am very glad to say that no charge has been preferred against my personal integrity and character, and hence the trouble is the result of a combination of the disgruntled elements in the church, who for one reason and another decided to John L. Waters, with whom I have decided that I will not work under any circumstances. The matter is not at all a mere question of personal differences, but it relates to the question of character, as I will demonstrate in this communication. There are several grounds of complaint, all of which are legitimate, and I have alleged as their reasons for maintaining Mr. Waters in his attitude. There is a certain element in the church who regard it a crime for a minister of the gospel to be intelligent. They have always objected to my manner of preaching because I never would condescend to give them the old plantation "whangdooodle" style of oratory. I have never merely appealed to their emotions or kept them in continual excitement, and, unfortunately, this class of the members of the church are even the time of our opinion that I have not preached one sermon since I have been here. This will be news to many of the brethren who do not live in New York, who will be surprised to learn that such darkness exists among some of the people in this enlightened city. This class of the members do not want a minister who will enlighten and uplift them, but they want someone who will pander to their emotions and have what they call a revival in a through the city. There is another well-defined class church who object to any preacher who will take a high moral stand in the pulpit and will condemn immorality, whiskey drinking and reckless disregard of their marital obligations. There is also a certain element who are dissatisfied because the church, by an almost unanimous vote in the month of June, voted to pay the pastor's house rent, and they have agitated all they possibly could, because, forsooth, their agree with what they observed in this matter. This is the well-defined minister in paying a well-educated minister just what they pay a most ignorant minister, nothing less and nothing more. They never believe in making any allowance for a man's training and equipment, the size of his family, or the expensiveness of living in the city in which he dwells. Their whole prayer to God is "Lord, we pray Thee to keep our pastor humble, and You may trust us to keep him poor." There is another little class who have decided to sustain Deacon Waters, and have a personal friendship. All of these classes have combined and have rallied around Deacon Waters in the hope that by saving him they might so discourage me as to make me leave the city. I did offer my resignation in the hope that it might promote peace, but I soon saw that it would not do so, and I am determined not to leave New York now until the principle of the majority rule shall be thoroughly respected in Mount Olivet church, and until this disorderly element shall be made to realize that the Baptist denomination stands for good order, progress and clean living. I have come to the point now where I shall lay this matter before the denomination of this city, and the readers of The Age may rest assured that when it is ended righteousness will triumph and the truth will be exalted. In order that the readers of THE ACT and the general public may understand what I have to contend against, I need to call your attention to the reckless disdain for the truth and the unscrutinousness of the deacon about whom this trouble is centered. When he first began this controversy in the church he read a paper attributing certain remarks to the pastor, which the pastor indignantly and emphatically denied. He declared to the members of the church that the former pastor, Rev. C. T. Walker, was in the room at the time of a conversation between Dr. Gilbert and Deacon Waters, and heard their remarks, and that he told the same to two ladies of the church, one of whom arose and confirmed his statement. On going to Washington, D. C., I informed the confirmation of the statement by one of the ladies of the church. He firmly denied it and promised to send a letter to correct the same. I received Dr. Walker's letter, and read it in the October business meeting, and with equal facil Waters declared at once that what he said in the previous meeting was that Dr. Walker could have heard the conversation. He also declared that what he meant was that Dr. Walker told him and the two ladies in question that when he pastor, Dr. Gilbert, was in Augusta, he told Dr. Walker that he (Gilbert) told all he could to get Waters off he deacon board. He did not qualify his statement at all, but simply gave the members the statement that Dr. Walker that "Dr. Gilbert said that he so all he possibly could to get he deacon board"; and he also that Dr. Walker would be in on the following Friday and at time he would secure his that effect. He was so posi- is assertion that unquestion- of the members believed all and they quoted Dr. Wal-iority to injure the pastor in I have written to Dr. Wal- his matter, and I have re-ter explaining the situa- Waters had industrially civilized over the site the report that in case I retired from the passionate of Mount Olivet Dr. Walker would come back to the church, or would at least divide his time between Mount Olivet and Anguita, Ga. This was done to more extensively widen the branch. I now take pleasure in giving to you the following letter from Dr. Walker: "Augusta, Ga.; Dec. 2, 1897. "Rev. M. M. Gilbert, New York city. "My Dear Doctor:—Yours of the 20th ult. received." "Now with regard to the last rumor which has been circulated concerning my promise to divide time between Mount Olivet and Augusta in the event that you retire from the pastorate, allow me to say that I have made no such statement to any one, and have never thought of such a proposition. I stated to you in my last letter that I am in the South to remain, and I trust that you will not allow the rumors put into circulation by anyone to cause you to feel that I would do anything to injure a brother minister or be a party to any trick to cast aspersions or put a stumbling block in any brother's way. Those who know me best will testify that I do not fight my enemies, and that I have never been disloyal to a friend. "I have refrained from writing you fully concerning Waters' statement of his dismissal from the deacon board, because I wanted to see you face to face and explain to you what brought about the conversation between Waters and myself. "You will remember that while in Augusta I pledged you my influence in getting certain brethren to favor your increase of salary. When I went to New York I said to Deacon Waters, it is a confidential talk, that I hoped he would not oppose the increase of salary for Dr. Gilbert. First, I believed that the church was able to pay on account of its large 'membership, and its freedom from debt; I believed that they ought to pay a larger salary because of the pastor's family and cost of him being a York churchmate when he Dr. Gilbert' believed that he (Waters) was opposed to this increase of salary and said he had thought of asking for his removal from the deacon board, but had since changed his mind because he (Deacon Waters) had explained to him that he was not opposed to him nor to the increase of salary, but felt that the church was unable to pay it. "This I said to him in strict confidence (thinking that this information would, coming in this way, pu out of his mind any thought of opposition to the salary increase). and I begged him to do nothing that would cause opposition to the pastor." "Personally, I would not have objected to Deacon Waters telling what I said if he had told all that I said to him, for the entire conversation grew out of my persuading him not to fight the increase of salary for the pastor." "Thus you can see my intentions were good. Of course I did not expect him to either reject or accept one because I told him in confidence." "Trusting you and yours are in good health, and praying God's blessings upon church and pastor, I am, "Yours sincerely, " C. T. WALKER. " Let every honest man who attended that business meeting see how fair Mr. Waters was in this matter. It must be remembered that he stated that Dr. Walker told him that Dr. Gilbert said that he (Gilbert) would do all he could to remove him (Waters) from the deacon board; but he omitted the fact that Dr. Walker said that the pastor had once had such an intention, but had his mind on on learning that Waters' position to him was due to malice, but to the supposition that the church was not able to pay the increased salary. Why did he not tell the members just what Dr. Walker had said to him and just how the conversation was brought up? We have also fresh evidence to show the unsurprisingness of the man, and his utter disregard for the truth. Last Monday night, the 2d inst., on the closing of our business meeting, he came to me and told me that he may never come back to the church again, but that he wanted to charge me with being responsible for the talk with Dr. Taliafero when he was here and he told me about your writing to the Banner against me" I was so dumbfounded at the charge this man made, that I wrote to Dr. Taliafero, the editor of the Christian Banner, and requested him to inform me just in what way he used my name to Waters, in view of the fact that I had never heard Dr. Taliafero about the man. On Monday, December 3 I received from Dr. Taliafero the following letter: "Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 7, 1907. "Rev. M. W. Gilbert, D. D., New York "Dear Brother: In regard to the matter that Mr J. L. Waters spoke to you about, must say that I am really surprised that he would tell you that I had written me a letter never mentioned your name to him. I could not have done so, at any rate, for you did not write me a letter at all. He has absolutely misrepresented the facts in the case if he said that I mentioned your name. I did tell him that I had received a letter stating some things about him that I did not publish. I simply said this to him that he might be wrong, and that somehow I ermaining him, that it might possibly put him on his guard and make him more careful. "He wrote me a letter the other day asking me for the name of the party who wrote the letter, and I answered him that under no consideration would I give him the name, since the matter had not been published, and all such correspondences were held as sacred. Had we published the matter we would have given it to the party, but since we did not publish it there is no power on earth than can compel us to give the name, and therefore he will never know it. "I did not know that it was his make-up to misrepresent facts. I thought he was a straightforward Christian gentleman. I am sorry to learn that he cannot be depended upon to give true report of things that come under his observation. You can tell him it is an absolute falsehood, and that I never mentioned your name to him. "With best wishes for your continued success, I am, "Yours in Christ, "G. L. P. TALIAVERDO." The members of the church will bear in mind as an evidence of the untruthfulness of this man that he made a statement declaring that one of the deacons in a deacon's meeting had alleged THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1907 that the pastor had no operated with a certain committee against him, and apologized investigation every other deacon on the board declared before the assembled church that no such remarks had been uttered. If the church had only done its duty they would have expelled him on the spot for untruthfulness; yet, this is the man around whom quite a number of our members are rallying as their leader. I have decided that I will not work with this man because of his untruthfulness, and because he does not measure up to the Scriptural reverence of the Bible, and blame me for refusing to work with a man who will do such things as these letters demonstrate? I refer not at all to his fortunate domestic experiences, but before I get through with this matter the Baptist family will have to say whether the word of God, which requires a deacon to be the husband of only one wife, shall be respected or not. The Baptist family will also have to say whether it is right for a church to allow a man to serve as a deacon or even remain a member of the church, who is so reckless with regard to telling the truth. The Baptist family will have to respect the people who cannot respect Baptist principles should run Mount Olivet church to destruction, for one of the main principles of sensible and intelligent Baptists is that of majority rule. I would not have written this letter, Mr. Editor, to the papers, but the disorderly element in the church has been tolerated so long that they try to make it impossible to get any facts before the church that do not please their little faction. This disorderly element has declared that the pastor of the church shall be made to go; but rest assured that I will remain right here by the help of God until Mount Olivet church shall face the issue, and until the forces standing for right and truth shall come out on top. Respectfully yours. A MUSIC STUDY CLUB. Hartford People Perfect New Musical Organization—Banner of Shiloh HARTFORD, Dec. 9.—Sunday being an ideal day all the churches were well attended.

HOLLAND, Grand Master A PLL HARDWARE, Grand Secretary No: 324 Ware Street Legislature, Led by Tenans and Arkansas, Baptises Itself in Negrophobia—Half Dozen Statesmen Wanted Whack at Colored Race. LANGSTON, Dec. 9.—The Legislature of Oklahoma will go down in history as the first body of the kind in which—and that too in the most popular branch—the first act proposed aimed to restrict a fundamental civil right, and curtail an essential liberty of the people. The first State was a bill which provides that, upon compulsion carriers citizens paying the arrear rate of transportation shall be subjected to invidious discriminations, and which imposes heavy penalties in case the discriminations are not enforced and observed. The bill, which will become a law, comes within the class of legislation commonly designated "law enforcement which hateful and in a measure indicative of the spirit which prompts such, and the effect of its operation, does not properly describe its conflict with every sentiment that is fair, just and decent. Pedhaps the full meaning and extent of such legislation will be appreciated when the Inter-State Commerce Commission or the Supreme Court of the United States determines that equity in case it is ever made to apply to the transportation of live stock instead of to the transportation of tax-paying citizens. The first legislature convened the 3d instant, and it will probably remain in session the maximum time allowed by the constitution—one hundred and sixty days. The body is overwhelmingly Democratic in both branches, thus making it possible to carry out the majority of the legislation and without delay. Governor Haskell read his message before the joint assembly the evening of the first day of the session which was an occasion of much political rejoicing and enthusiasm. Considering the amount of constructive legislation and administration which the situation demands, the message of the governor was brief and personally condensed. Many of the recommendations will even a great amount of painstaking labor by the law-makers and then many mistakes will doubtless be made. His recommendations tally to the letter with the purely demagogic features of the platform of his party in the recent campaign. The party pledged itself to the enactment of a law creating distinctions and discriminations as to passengers on common carriers. A provision of this kind would have been embodied in the new constitution but for the certainty that it would have prevented the consummation of statehood. Such a provision in the constitution would have conflicted with both the letter and the spirit of the enabling. This rules out the materialism attached on account of judicial constructions attach to the American scheme of government, and make it legal and safe to infringe the rights and diminish the liberties of citizens by legislative statutes, when to have done so in the fundamental law would have been repugnant to the conditions which rendered the enactment of the fundamental law possible. The Governor's recommendation ac- party's platform and is as follows: recommend the immediate passage by emergency act of laws providing for separate coaches and waiting rooms for persons of African descent and that the same be of equal comfort and convenience with the coaches and waiting rooms provided for other passengers." This recommendation was made Monday night and on Tuesday when the legislature convened, the first bill introduced in the lower house and the fourth in the Senate related to this subject, and the other two were waiting their turn to win distinction and gain renown by introducing similar bills. Naturally enough the authors of these measures are statesmen who besides being Democrates hail from those sections of the commonwealth which border Texas or Arkansas. The house bill was, under the suspension of the house bill, the second sideralization and was thereupon so loaded down with amendments as to cause it to be sent to committee. The usual penalties are imposed and the usual extraordinary police powers are conferred upon the train crew, and the usual exceptions made by which servants become, so far as travelling is concerned, the social equals (assuming that travelling is a social, function of the beneficiaries, or victims of the discrimination), and the social equals will be allowed to travel in the compartment set aside for "other passengers," and vice versa, of course, a white servant attending a Negro passenger will be allowed to ride in the compartment provided for "persons of African descent." The usual provision is made that the accommodations shall be of "equal comfort and convenience" and from one source it is proposed to reduce the matter to an exact mathematical the opposite population. The ratio of population is about as 14 to 1. The problem therefore would be simple enough, or an Indian to figure should the mathematical formula be grafted on the law. Whatever its faults, the Democratic party is as consistent as the law of gravitation in the matter of dealing with Negro citizens, but it becomes rather ludicrous when its example is emulated by men whom misfortune has allowed to stray into the Republican party. According to reports which are eligible to an agreement with the Fort worth company the minority of the Oklahoma legislature who are holding seances to conjure up a "jim crow" law by way of compromise. There is a warming about the "buzz-saw" which perhaps some people have not heard. It is in the program that much similar grist is to be ground before the lature finally adjourns. important measures, not at all prudent, inable, were considered and wisely endorsed unanimously, the acceptance of which will prove to matter of great importance. Exalted Rainer Curtius attained his appreciable and beneficial visit to Manhattan Lodge, and its consequent approval of his remarks relative to certain phrases of immediate attention, measures were adopted toward fraternal unlift in the future. Brothers James M. Brooks, Bath Beach, and James A. Brooks, 108 Douglass street, Jamica, were voted one week sick endowment, per recommendation of the sick committee. Both brothers are convalescent and will shortly restume their duties. Brother E. Elmore Brock, 2123 Dean street, has resumed his duties, but it not entirely well. The application of Messrs. Ed Hedrick and Emilie Robb received and placed into the hands of the chairman of the committee of investigation for endorsement and approval. Through the leadership of Brother William H. McFarland, the membership subscribed a sufficient fund for the purpose of purchasing a handsome Bible which will be presented to the lodge December 18 for ritualistic purposes. And Mrs. William J. Norfleet, of New York city, will present to the lodge, through her husband, Brother William J. Norfleet, a large silk American flag to the lodge with the ritualistic usage. The following brothers were appointed a committee on regalia: J. Thomas Brown, chairman; Milo Atkins, William H. McFarland and J. Maxwell Hairston. This committee will solicit subscriptions from the membership and purchase new regalia for the four principal officers. The following visiting Antlers were present: Brothers James R. Henry and B. H. Smith, of imperial Lodge, No. 127, Bronx, N. Y. The Antlers were rightfully received with the actual faternal greetings and honors due visiting Elks. They expressed that they would shortly present to their lodge a new handsome Bible, and judging from their speeches, the Bible will be a large and costly one indeed. The proceedings were interesting and highly encouraging, to say the least. Brother Exalted Ruler M. S. Dancy, the "hustling Elk of the Bronx," was occupying the esteemed leading knight's chair and Brother P. Jones, the Ruler for M. S. Dancy's chair for the evening, Brothers Gilmore, Brown, and W. W. Gilmore were buoyantly engaged with duties pertaining to the general interest of Imperial Lodge. Brother Trustee Gilmore read the committee of investigation's report. Thirty-eight new applicants were duly initiated the mysteries of Sally Brown's "Bronx," which will bear close imitation by newly-instituted lodges. The names of the following persons were balloted for and accepted by a clear ballot: Eliza Harris, Benjamin Holly, Edward J. Soulter, Geo. Williams, James A. Dickens, Frank Mitchell, Frank A. Treadwell, William Smith, B. Cooke, B. Cooke, Smith, N. P. Landon, C. Emmett Lightfoot, H. S. Smith, Joseph E. Payne and Edward I. Whitlaw. Applications of prospective Antlers were as follows: Edward L. Clarke William Foster, T. Williams, William Pitman, William L. Brown and William H. Hill were favorably received and given to the chairman of the committee of investigation, Brother Gilmore, for necessary consideration and report relative for approval or rejection. Refreshments were served and Grand Exalted Ruler Jones recited an Elk's poem entitled "The Boys that Wear the Horns," and Brother Exalted Ruler James H. Anderson responding in kind by ending with one verse of Brother "Ray" Wilson's "Song and Toast I. B. P. O. B." Brother Archer Branch presented the lodge with several useful articles necessities forapitillary degrees. These useful presents were health received and a vote of appreciation extended Brother Trustee Branch, after which Brother Henry was appointed esteemed loyal knight by Exalted Ruler Dancy and duly installed by Grand Exalted Ruler Jones with the usual ritualistic honors. On and after this notice Brother W. Preston Moore will sign his notes of the Elks under the nom de plume of "Sui jure Roebuck." Brother Traveling Deputy Marcellus C. Guss' letter, recently published in THE NEW-YORK ACE, which commencement is thus: "I do not desire to enter into or to prolong any argument concerning the relative claims to disconnection of the existing withings with "Let us always love the 'truth'; our first duty is to live for its honor, and to die for it is a glory." Noble words those, but has he strenuously lived up to his teachings? In short, truthfully speaking, if Brother Guss "feared God and kept his commandments" with as much reverence and hopefulness as he asserts in the ending of his somewhat "superfluous letter," he would not dare to write such a radical and veilment vagueness, which shirlda from an analysis that would dispel a long-held illu- If he would diligently verify his facilities, he would be familiar with the office and door. dense leading up to the Brooklyn generation, he would not empty unconscious revolution so easily. Similarly, such is the final word, and with the full recognition of evil in all its darkness and subtle penetrativism he would discover that the solvent word is reconciliation, the concept of the great human good, and the organization of the best material of both organizations, the overpowering of the base by the centralizing phases. There is no question of the distinction between the two bodies: we are all on the same plane. Therefore, we appeal for greater independence on the part of Brother Guss and others of his thinking, for a determination on the heart and the mind, for timely reconciliation—to listen to reason, but never to abdicate the judgment of his or their own deep instinctive feelings. Let the arbitration committees do their duties. Again, there is real danger that we shall be led astray by the great mass of trivial and sensational productions. It now behooves us to cease such projections, and to recognize the organization of the great and glorious organizations now temporarily astray from the folds of unity. However, there is a fatal fallacy in the groundwork of much of the arguments produced by recent writers not of the Eastern sentiments—relative to the split of the organization in 1908. Their minute inferences and conclusions drawn from slight premises, seem to presuppose an antiquity and perfect accuracy in the existing conditions, not in itself probable, and certainly utterly inconsistent with the general principles of the facts. They are in this respect, in this alone, almost as one with the most rigid adherent of critical theories and personal inspirations not affirmative with documentary hypothesis. This is not a case of each one to state his reason for being pliable), of which he sees it in the public press, and to appeal to the public, as the jury, to decide between the competing fraternities. But such judgment must first be from ourselves in convention assembled for that pacific and most noble purpose, as decreed by both conventions in 1907. And lastly, the reading public is highly disgusted with such tactics as shadowy letters periodically appearing from Antlers of the distressed party, expressing radical views. My brothers of the fraternity! Caution, faith, truth, honor, and justice! By the exercise of a fortitude, a patience and a resolution that make the judicious grieve to see it so pitiless ill applied, must necessarily be our future guide. ELKS AT SPRINGFIELD. New Funeral Society to be Added to City's List. . SPRINGFIELD, Mam., Nov. 30.—Springfield now has another secret and benevolent society added to the list of those which already exist. On the 22d ult. an order of Elks was organized by Mr. Joseph Upsher of this city,eting Joseph of grand exalted ruler, E. Athena. The order has held weekly meetings since its organization with an average of ten new members per meeting. On the 5th of December, the grand exalted ruler for a charter, and has already forwarded the necessary fee for the same. The club expects to be instituted December 10. H. H. Atlanta, Ga., smoke at St John's church. On last Sunday morning Rev. Nichols, of the Loring street church, exchanged pulpits with Rev. DeBerry, of the St. Mary's church, and presented at the Loring street church consisted of a song service by the choir, with a brief Thanksgiving address by Pastor Robert Mitchell, and Mrs. Martha Mitchell and Mr. Taliferoff were appreciated. Instead of the regular sermon by the pastor, the audience of the Third Baptist church listened to an address by Charles F. Mooree of Shaw, University. Last Wodging Mrs. I. B. Slater, of daughter Margaret, of Cincinnati, O'Neill, attended the months at West Haven, Conn., were the guests of Mrs. I. B. Friman, of Central street, Mr. J.

Mr. H. W. Henderson of Principia Library Union was addressed by Mr. J. W. Henderson of Providence, R. I. H. His subject was "Roosevelt and His Policies." Mr. Henderson's paper was presented interestingly to the audience. The next meeting, December 16, is to be addressed by Miss Olive A. Rainey, of this city. The annual week of prayer, under the touch of DeBerry, was begun last evening at the St. John's Congregational church. A New Draftmenment Bill BALTIMORE. November 26.—Notwithstanding the fact that the Poe distranchising bill was defeated by the voters of this State in 1905 by a majority of 34,000, the Democrats of Maryland are going to try to pass another distranchising bill. Isaac Lobe Straus, a Jew, who was recently elected Attorney-General of the State, is going to distranchise the Negro, and is going to lead Democrats for ideas to guide him in drafting a bill for the next Legislature, which will convene in January. United States Senator Rayner, a Jew, is another of the disfranchisement advocates. His sister was refused accommodations at an Atlantic City hotel last summer on account of being a Jew, yet he would discriminate against the Negro. He now disfranchising bill will aim to admit new disfranchising Jews to admit and will not give the registration officials the latitude they have in some Southern States. Westbury and Jerico.
