We have known since some years that the butt of New York the Democratic party is still on nearly hostile to the rights of the color of people. This was commonly on Congress. In the press out session of Congress we have been told lays of the United States. Many provisions intendedoses of the Thirteenth, and Fourteenth, the Constitution. These provisions have years since tried to strike roll call on the AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1908 THE FILM FESTIVAL in Committee of the Whole and in that roll call can be had under the rules, but all those present saw that the division was absolutely on party lines, that every Rep'i'can voted to continue the laws and that every Democrat, whether he came from north or South of Mason and Dixon's line, from South Carolina or New York k City, voted to repeal those sections. The colored people could not ask for a more living example of the relations which the parties bear to the real interests of the colored race.

Mr. Dear Mr. Royd: I consider it a privilege to be given the opportunity to take a part in the demonstration to be made in appreciation of the effective work, the tireless energy, the unfaltering fidelity and the unsuilled honor of our leader, Charles W. Anderson. We are paying a deserved tribute to a man who by sheer force of his own ability and integrity has risen from the ranks to a position of national reputation and power. As a leader his tact and singleness of purpose merit our confidence and loyalty; as a man, his uprightness and big-heartedness merit our esteem and affection. But he requires no encomiums at my hands, 12 more presence in your midst The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or graphics.

His last public position was with me as my secretary to the Treasury Department in 1891. Since that time his case has been constant, and today he is no longer the most responsible and honorable position of any colored man in the United States. This is certainly true from a business standpoint if not from political standpoint. He has not, however, obtained more distinction than his integrity, ability and services to the Republic in party of which he is a worthy per entitled him.

COLLECTION ANDERSON AND DISTINGUISHED GUESTS AT THE BANQUET Country's Foremost Educators Assemble Before Academy of Political and Social Sciences Dr.J.H.Dillard Elected Chairman of Jeanes Fund. PHILADELPHIA. February 3.—Industrial education for the youth of America was ably discussed by some of the foremost educators of the country before the Academy of Political and Social Sciences in Wither-spoon Hall on Friday evening. Owing to the fact that Dr. Booker T. Washington was one of the speakers, the audience was one of the most remarkable that has ever attended a meeting of the academy. It was composed of the cultured Afro-Americans, and the earnest, thinking and erudite members of the academy, with members of their families and their friends. After COLLECTOR ANDERSON AND DISTIN We are here to speak to you. I am sorry, but the provided image is a logo and does not contain any chart, graph, or data. It is a graphic design and does not contain any data points that can be extracted and converted into a table. It is not possible to tell in the countryside of the United States how many people live in the country on the land that is not used to get into our country. Here we draw a picture of the people. I believe that the people should first be taught with the thing that the people do. If the school must be a place of district the problem should be made the most of importance. The liberal education from which I wish to present to American people is this: shall we remain upon this territory, getting the least out of the soil, or shall we by education and proper industrial education, in how to get the most out of the soil? The Afro-American race in America now numbers not fewer than 10,000,000. With in a few years, perhaps in this generation, the race will have increased to --- THE TROPHY FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN TEA AND COFFEE SILVER SERVICE PRESENTED TO COLLECTOR ANDERSON 15,000,000. I repeat that they are going to remain in this country for all time, and principally in the Southern States. These millions of my race can be made useful or useless. They can be made to help or to hinder. They can be made to become criminals or law-abiding citizens. They can be made potent factors in the intelligence of our country, or they can become a load of ignorance, dragging down our civilization. Which shall it be? "It has been clearly demonstrated that education makes the Afro-American less criminal; that it makes him less thriftless; that it makes him more industrious; that it makes him more helpful. The Afro-American already pays taxes in America after only a few years of freedom and opportunity upon more that $334,000,000 worth of property. He started in poverty a little more than 40 years ago; he now owns and occupies over 500,000 homes and farms. He owns and controls, mainly in the Southern States, 33 banks." Other speakers were Superintendent of Schools Brumhaugh, Dr. L. S. Rowe, Dr Leslie W. Miller, Dr. Frederick B. Fratt, president of Pratt Institute. Several other speakers were to have spoken, including the Rev Matthew Anderson, principal of the Bercan Manual Training School, but owing to the lateness of the hour, it was deferred to some other time.

A goodly-sized congregation greeted the pastor at the eleven o'clock services. It was plainly the intention of the kickers to prevent Dr. Gilbert from conducting services. Each time he started the service some of the rebellious members started up a hymn which was not down on the service, interrupting the pastor until he finally SERVICE PRESENTED TO COLLECTOR ANDERSON The sey into St. Peter's Station a party lined to and spilling the discontent.

In the evening Holy Communion was celebrated. Madam Sweet and seven daughters gave the members of the parish a most delightful musical, literary and dramatic entertainment on Thursday evening past.

I regret that my continued absence from New York for several weeks will prevent my attendance at the dinner. You have indeed a mateless and powerless leader in Charles W. Anderson, a man who has not only been a great help to the Republican party but who has always stood for what is best in the politics of our country. He is a bright example of what can be accomplished by your race, and should be an example to all, that they can become a strong part of that body which has made this country the greatest in the world.

Presentation of Silver Service. Before the presentation of the steak. ors of the evening, President Middleton presented Mr. Sebelman Johnson, Chairman of the Dianker Committee, who spoke as follows: Mr. Chalkman and Gentlemen: We are assembled here to-tight to do honor, to New York's most distinguished citizen. More than 20 years ago Mr. Anderson came to the city of New York, hardly more than a boy. There were oceans of opportunities for any white lad but for him chances were also indeed. Full of bull-dog grit and courage with confidence in his ability to move his way; he started out in the battle for life. Setting for himself the highest details, living a clean life, cleaving to the right and maintaining that high degree of honesty that has made his word his bond, he has gone onward and upward and to-day he is the most useful official as well as the most distinguished Negro in all matters pertaining to the political welfare of the HON. WM. H. LEWIS, Assistant I. H. LEWIS, Assistant District Attorney, [Image of a man with a bald head and a white shirt and tie.] people of our race. "Before Mr. Anderson became a factor in the politics of this State no Negro could hope for any consideration from the Republican organization. Each district leader had some particular colored pet who was supposed to keep the colored vote in line, usually he was an illiterate Negro whose activity made it impossible for the better element of our people to display any interest in the District Attorney, Boston, Mass. some tangible proof of the I-tection in which he is held by club members and friends.

Through the efforts of Mr. Anderson the Colored Republican Club was formed for the purpose of interesting the intelligent young Negroes in politics (for the purpose of teaching our people to act as a unit in securing those political rights to which we are entitled. A few years of treaseless effort he has built up the most potent Negro organization in the United States. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

"In the building of this powerful or military, Mr. Anderson has grown and the friendless boy of 20 years ago, we now find the friend and admirer to the President of our country. "In referring to the President I wish to say that I have no confidence in or sympathy with those men who are try ing to influence the minds of the Negroes of the country against our chief magistrate. Remembering the Crumman case and the Indiana post office affair and appreciating the importance of his appointment of Negroes to high judicial positions and District Attorneyships in Northern States, realizing the importance of his selection for high official positions such clean and able men as Judge Terrell, Mr. Dancy, Tyler, Cobb, J. H. Lewis and the Hon. Charles W. Anderson; also appreciating the high esteem in which he is held by our great educator and moral teacher, the Hon. Booker T. Washington, I proclaim my belief in his desire to deal justly, with all the citizens of our country without regard to race or color, and I believe that the greatest friend that the white race of this country has ever given to the cause of Negro liberty is that broad-minded, big-hearted, big-souled, unprejudiced American citizen, President Theodore Roosevelt.

It is our intention to give Collector Anderson District Attorney, Boston, Mass. some tangible proof of the love and affection in which he is held by his fellow club members and friends. I have been commissioned to present to him this silver service and to wish him a long and prosperous life and plaque him the continued support as well as the love and esteem of the Colored Republican Club and his admirers trips. Mr. Middleton has not sought reputation as an utter-dinner speaker here, but he acquitted himself most objectively in his preliminary remarks and in this felicitous introduction of the members of the evening. He first re-defined the classes to till their glasses and trunk to the health of the President of the United States; it was done and not in silence: Tonstunster Middleton's Speech, "Lathie, and gentlemen, and fellow members of the Collegial Republican council of the City of New York, it is very esteem to any pleasure and an honor that I take to welcome you. It is an inest that I assure you I very sensibly and especially so to preside at so long an assemblage of gentlemen, promi- nient to business and most particularly so to this memorable occasion. We have not to pay a wolldewed tribute of love and to further express in no巩 unfashion any way an entire confidence in the matter as we have in the past successful together leadership on our guest, the Hon.

To wine and dine a man well should at least have a tendency to place him in a receptive mood when he not there may expect things, but with a possible dice persuasion might accept things. Fortunately I have the first opportunity and I desire on behalf of the members of the Colored Republic Club of the City of New York to express this opinion. We question a successful combination of a fact we most firmly believe and attempt to unimpeded to express that we might deny any State town, lander or community contribution to the prize is a more lowland We have a number of very distin- ished gentlemen who are to address some who come from afar to honor which is to remind us that we in New York are not alone in recognizing distinctive qualities of our guest. I could with very much pleasure to myself and with many rea- tive reasons for my excuse enuglize collect for all the evening, and yet I would have quite finished I would THE NEW YORK TIMES have but just begin. So what's the use. With just a word personal I will conclude. "The Dinner Committee has reminded me, and very rightfully so, that after we may have finished our festivities here we are to entertain our body friends, with a dinner, and the word heaviness has suggested itself as the most fitting motto to promote that purpose. Gentlemen, I thank you and ask our intelligence while the Secretary, Mr. Atheur W. Handy, Bach and every speaker apologe in earnest and deserved celology of the guest of the evening with rape discrimination and with that note of self-restraint that betrothens sincerity. Those who responded to toasts were: Dr. Booker T. Washington, Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, Hon. John C. Dancy, Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, Hon. William H. Lewis, Judge R. H. Terrell, Mr. J. O. Esterlin, Hon. Benjamin Oppenheimer and "Chief" Edward R. Lea. Wk, epigram, restrained alliteration and buoyancy of spirit abounded, each pungent "hit" being rewarded with braven, hurrahs and uproarous cheers. If Ralph W. Tyler was most chaste in his diction, William H. Lewis was most witty; if Dr. Washington and Collector Anderson were most elquent, Recorder Dancy was most epigrammatic; if Mr. Esterlin was most businesslike in his remarks, Mr. Oppermaniel was most forceful in his call for the brotherhood of man, and, finally, if Governor Pinchback represents "the old guard," Judge Terrell splendidly roke for the new. Dr. Washington sounded a high note and his remarks are typical of all. Doctor Washington's Toast. First of all he asked the gentlemen to fill their glasses and drink to the health of "a beautiful, loyal woman in a box to the right," referring to Mrs. Anderson. The answering shout must have gladdened her heart as she arose and bowed her acknowledgments. Dr Washington said, in part: "Mr. Tombmaster: We are here but for one single purpose, and that is to pay honor and respect to a man who deserves honor and respect, the man of the hour, Mr. Charles W. Anderson. Around the banquet board civilization is created and promulgated. Public influence is scattered and strengthened. It is a great thing for any people to learn to rally around a great leader. It is a great thing for the Negro race to rally around a great leader. (Good; good!) It has been my privilege to attend and in some degree take a part in various functions given by our people in all parts of America, but I measure my words when I say but in its large and successful and representative character there has never been given anywhere in America a function in honor of a single man of our race that can begin to compare in importance to the one that we celebrate to right. (Great applause.) We have here representative men, and I am glad to see not only representative but beautiful women, to show their interest in this occasion; your interest is shown by the fact that you not only have representative men from all walks of life in your own city here represented, but representative men from nearly every city in this part of the United States. It is a great occasion that can not only draw such a class of men from the metropolitan city of New York, but that can draw them also from the capital city of Washington, and Philadelphia, and even from Boston. ( Applause and laughter.) "I honor and I respect Mr. Anderson because he deserves it. I honor and respect him because from the time I have first known him up until the present he always been guided by principle in whatever he has done. He has always been true to his friends. He knows what to do with his friends. (Laughter.) You always know where to find him. Every day in the year and every hour in the day you know where to find him, true to principle, true to his friends. He has always been true to every public trust. He is not only a successful Negro official, but he is a successful official regardless of race. (Great Applause.) The more fact that we have around this banquet board representation from the merchants in the city of New York whose work and whose business bring them into Mr. Anderson's office testifies more eloquently than the guerrilla. I can suggest that he has performed the labors of his office efficiently, successfully and satisfactorily. "I honor Mr. Anderson because he is clean in his life and in his public career, and sets an example for the youth of our race. I honor him again because, as has been suggested, he came into this great metropolitan city, a few years ago unknown without a friend, without money, without a heritage back of him, and courageously, persistently, doggedly, he has won his way to the highest position. (Applause.) And, my friends, those of you who have had the experience and have observed the same thing, will testify that if there is one spot in all of us to which a man comes and fails if he does not, his competence is here in New York. Mr. Anderson has stood the test of this great city. He has faced the keenest competition, and every time he has won out and reflected honor on himself, honor upon our race. "We sometimes are inclined to grow discouraged, to grow moody and pessimistic concerning the future, concerning the present. Let those of us who sit around this board reflect for a minute. Only a few short years ago it was true in the city of New York that black boys and black men were shot down and were hanged to lamp posts because of their color. Today we have men of all colors, of all nationalities honoring a man of our race. I, for one, my friends, am willing to follow where he leads. And in following the leadership and the inspiration of such leaders we cannot fail. For one let me add, in conclusion, I am proud to be here. I am proud to be a part of this great function. I am pround to look into your faces. I am proud that you honor my friend and your friend, and I am proud to be a member of the race to which he belongs. I am proud to be a member of the race that has produced such great national characters, such great leaders as Frederick Douglas, Blanche K. Bruce, John M. Langston, as P. B. S. Pinchback, as Charles W. Anderson. "This is a great occasion. We honor ourselves in honoring this great leader and champion of his race, and may such occasions in the future come often and may they be attended by as magnificent evidences of success as attend this. I have faith in him, I have respect for him, ye, I have in my heart the deepest love for him and his career and his work. May the blessings of Heaven vest upon him in the future as they have in the past, and may the lessons of his life be an inspiration for all of us, and may his career be handed down in history to guide and cheer us and our children's children in the years that afe to come." (Great anglause.) When Collector Anderson arose to speak he faced a sympathetic, enthusiastic and legion of friends and admirers. From the boxes above fair and beautiful women looked down upon the scene: at the long tables friends of all shades of opinion were seated, and with the orchestra playing and cheers rending the air it was a scene not soon to be forgotten. He was in good voice and gave vent to his feelings of appreciation in a few pregnant, eloquent sentences, and in part, as follows: "Mr. Tonstmaster, Gentlemen and Ladies: I fully realize the hopeless inadequacy of any effort at rhetoric, or at least of any of my efforts at rhetoric, to the task of fully expressing my gratitude for this splendid reception. Yet I feel that some word of thanks, however feeble, should be spoken to the Dinner Committee and the officers and members of The Colored Republican Club of the City of New York, for the considerate kindness which has marked every detail of this dinner—a dinner ample enough to have driven Palstaff to pepsiin and soda mints, and I feel that some special word of real gratitude should be said to (Continued on page 3.) ```markdown ``` VICTORIA MARKET CO. 774 COLUMBUS AVE.

He is a Southern white man, born and educated in the South; he has moreover, the confidence and respect of all classes, black and white alike, in that section of the country, and has been for a long time helping the Afro-Americans in the small country schools of Louisiana. It was this admirable work that first attracted our attention to Dr. Dillard, who thus became one of the trustees of the committee appointed to thank the honor. He has now opened an office in New Orleans, the next nearest to Montgomery, Ala., which will hereafter be headquarters for his work. "Dr. Dillard was born in Nansenom County, Vac. in 1856. He graduated in both the arts and law courses from Washington and Lee University, taught at various Southern schools and at Washington University, in St. Louis, and then, in 1891, took the chair of Latin at Tulane.

I go for their thoughtfulness in gathering no many of my old courards and friends to meet me, and for the effort to wing others who, although unavoidedly, absent in person, are nevertheless present in spirit. I wish that I could feel that, I am very specific way deserved to all. This magnificent dinner, this opulence of good cheer, this great company, including many men of which I had ever had, and the almost exasperingly kind manner in which the various speakers have referred to my trifling services to care and party, make the occasion one long to be remembered, and I have felt so远er than to have to be more than I said here when he not the canin-whats with their spares pointed toward his heart. "Not exactly dismayed but considerably dismayed!" I see many men of my own craft and claim present to me, and my own heart, and the greatness of the other man, I have taught many a rough battle in preliminary politics—battles in which no quarter was either asked. I was granted and their presence touches me deeply. After the expiration of the new�eans, I was displeased by the fact that I would displease following me more accurately than I came to have it disdotted. I am glad that these gentlemen are all here, with exceptions too slight to be noticed, and all others are so well known, and they are so very faithful to me, and unfair opponent. At the same time, I am sensible of having made many mistakes and some enemies, and I regret it; but my friends, please, I see members that the man who does not make it, and the man who is the last case, and who who makes no enemies, take care, and to who who makes no emotions, heats, and retains no real, lasting friends. I think too, I have felt about as many of the asperities of life as ordinarily falls to the lot of life in the life of the world and the unfulfillable hard work of the work has been sweetened by some of the most delightful friendships and associations, and lightened by the generous appreciation of our people, who are always ready to pride in gives, and the mostcases of the best time to be in the world, and to be in perfect achievement, when they are convinced that I have done the best you could. As for being a leader, in the generally accepted sense of the terms of the world, I have for this force of thought that time. I am no leader, as many as those who I am about me are for they have given their lives to the teaching of some boys and girls. All one is to be known as the one that is the only one interest. What he is pleased to regard as the capital of the country is to stand upon his feet and play the game. I have received some hard days, but I have managed to stand up to them with every heartless In the fall birth of the eminent man of the day, the diplomat of chine- se, I take the diplomatics of chine- se. It is best to identify that, if they were to our great�, among the people who believe in their own life, and who love toMedium Em. I am among those who believe that it has a wider outlook and a better chance on life for a boy. Back on white, to be born under the Stars and Stripes, than to be born under the stars of the life of the race. I am among those who believe in the N.Z.S. race believe that it is a race honest and solid-earthy, not insignificant by commerce, and renowned through all the earth for the devotion to the most the light and not the most common country. I am among those who believe in the E.P.P.S.டெc. of the world of issues within that party. I am one of those who believe that the voice of the President in Washington is more potent than any other issue in the country. Mr. Kakaer, Czar, Emperor, Mikao and Sultan, I am among those who believe that "a failure to follow the President of the United States is a famine to honor the people of the United States," and as no non-American president will have the "New State," Bar Vossation, and have not been a Peace Commissioner nor an Ambassador to a foreign country. I am too loyal and too patriotic to attempt to slight the great man whom I am. I am a great man who should be the highest officer of the world. I am not only simple, and I think sufficient, and has been hope and hustle. Gentlemen, this dinner is a great compliment. I expect nothing like it again in this life. It is also a great success, both in alimentation and in the character of the attendance. Perhaps I should have referred to this last feature first, for the success of a dinner depends not so catch upon what is on the table, as it does upon what is on the chairs. "And now, gentlemen, in closing, let the thank you for this testimonial I know not what the future may hold of good or ill for me. I know what the best has held, and I feel that "God he thanked whatever comes after, he have lived and toiled with men." "And now, before returning my goat, become invite me to fill your glasses and drink to the health of that noble son of a noble State, and the great Chief of a great President, President Thomas Roosevelt.

Gordon, superintendent of the Howard Orphan Asylum, would speak on "Manhood" at the 4 o'clock meeting at the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian Association last Sunday afternoon, brought out the largest number of men that have attended a meeting this year. There was hearty singing and plenty of enthusiasm. Mr V S Williams was at the piano; Mr E H Wilson lead the responsive Scripture reading and Mr Alen Hillard offered prayer. Rev Gordon, whose subject was "Manhood" was introduced by Mr. Francis H Gilbert in a brief speech setting forth the work which is being done at the asylum and wherein men to do their best work at the fair church should attend night at Jefferson Hall for the benefit of the orphan's. Rev Gordon's address is rated with the most thoughtful and helpful ever delivered at the association in its relation to the members and their duty to the work of the branch. It touched a tender chord and when the contribution was taken $5.55 was the amount, more than three times as much as the usual Sunday collection. Chief James H. Crowley, of the Brooklyn Trustee, referred the benefactor to the Lopez, Turner and Nixon, of Carlton avenue branch, won the debate from the Mont Clair Association on Tuesday evening of last week. Quite an enjoyable time was had at the apron and necktie social given by the Frances E. W. Harper Y's, a juvenile club of young misses of the Concord Women's Christian Temperance Union, held at the residence of Mrs W H Cook, 185 Duffield street, on Friday evening of last week Mrs. Mary J Zeno, president of the Concord Union, directed the arrangements and the following took part in the literary program after prayer by Dr. W T Dixon: Misses Lacie Smith, Lillian Lillin White and Sade Mayhew, Members of the Loyal Temperance Legion, under the leadership of Mrs M J Faulson were also on the program. The officers of the club are: Ethel Harris, president; Lena Bush, vice president; Virginia Parago, secretary; Lavina White, treasurer, and Mrs Mary S. Gale, superintendent. Revival meetings continue in interest and soul-saving at the Concord Baptist Church. Services were well attended Sunday, Dr. Dixon's evening discourse was on the "Prodigial Son," and was very effective. Two hundred and ninety scholars were present at the session of the Sunday school and the collection was $9.16. At the conclusion of the session the annual election of officers for the school and a follow-up Nathaniel B. Dodson, superintendent; W. Eugene Tylery, assistant superintendent; Miss Fannie M. Perkins, general secretary; Prof. C. F. Murron, choreister; Miss Susie Lewis, assistant secretary; Edward Green, chief librarian; Clarence F. Mayo, assistant.

Laxox and Berramth Ave. Special Attention Given [Our Patrons] 10 am to 5 pm 2023年1月1日 The President's Message The special message sent to congress last Friday, by President Roosevelt, was the most remarkable document ever sent to the legislative body of this country by a President. It was remarkable for its boldness, its vehement denunciation of predatory wealth, and its handling, with unglued hands, those pointed out as attempting to discredit the administration because of its purpose to treat sinners in high places, the same as sinners in low places. But, to anyone who has followed President Roosevelt, that message was decidedly Rooseveltian. It left no doubt as to where he stands. It admitted of no question but what he would pursue to the end of his term, the policies announced previously by him, and to which he stands committed. Although men in every section have admired the President's courage, they now in we than ever admire him, and more than ever recognize in him a sincere man of direct and honest purpose, and not a vacillating official, who will compromise, or wink at usurpation of rights and ignoring of laws by men of great fortunes, simply for political effect or advantage. More than ever, that message of the President establishes the fact that he is, and will continue, the President of the entire country; the President who proposes that the common people, who constitute the great, majority, shall not be pillaged by the privileged rich. But President Roosevelt makes no assault upon honestly acquired riches. He simply condemns dishonestly acquired wealth. "I discussion has been provoked by the message as to what effect it will have on the Presidential contest, and out of that discussion rises the belief that it cannot but help to make it possible that the next Republican nominee will be a man who will carry out the policies of President Roosevelt, and make it impossible to nominate any man who is recognized as antagonistic to the President's policy of "square deal." Washington Interlopers. In discussing the school question that is now, and has been for some months, agitating Washington, D. C., Senator Dolliver, author of the Dolliver bill to reorganize the schools of the district, stated that of the four millions of dollars annually necessary to maintain the schools of the district, two millions came from the country at large. In other words, all the other states, jointly, contribute two million dollars for the support of the schools of Washington. If this be true, and no-one has questioned it, it must be apparent to those Washingtonians who are continually protesting against "interlopers" coming to Washington; that is the appointment of teachers who are not residents of Washington, that such protests are inconsistent, and that these so-called "interlopers" have just as much right in Washington as the native Washingtonians. A False Rumor THE ACE has investigated the rumor given publicity that Register Verpon's frequent and long absence from his office on lecturing tours was distasteful, and that in consequence of his deputy performing the duties most of the time a change was possible, and find that it is rumor no doubt circulated or manipulated some of Dr. Verpon's Kansas enemies. However, THE ACE does not hesitate to impress upon all colored federal office holders that a public office is a public trust, and, not a private snap. When a man accepts official position, which is given as a recognition of the race, it is his duty to perform the duties of that office, and not simply draw the salary while spending considerable of the time on lecturing tours for which he also paid. A hint to the wage is sufficient. Me'm Linda Mam' Linla is a book recently written by Mr. Will N. Harber, a Southern white man. It is in the form of a novel. It is worth reading. It is by far the best thing produced in the South for a good many years in the direction of a novel. It takes high ground, emphasizing all through its chapters, the idea that Southern white people ought to lead out, to think for themselves, ought to act for themselves, instead of going in droves like so many sheets. The independent in a review of this book a short time ago, referred to as being the strongest book on the South since Uncle Tom's Cabin. It is published by Harper and Brothers. We advise a wide reading of this book. There is much in it that will strengthen the hearts of our race. many of the most important and most important groups of the economy that the world shares as public safety issues, and of the most important issues by its nature, under the most vulnerable even groups by a single kind of our very experience in the country. There were at least five hundred people who died of the holocaust, hospitalized hundreds of Indians in the galápagos. It was a result of high frequency and strength, and more than all that, an exhibition of racial conquest and unity which has never before been witnessed in this country. The outbreak by a law disqualified members of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church as the morning services Sunday was disgraceful and should never again be reposted. There should never be an occasion requiring the police to come into a house of worship to preserve peace or do what they were required to do: take from the church disorderly elements. Such conduct tends to bring reproach on the race, and makes of the religion of the Negro a farce. Christianity teaches peaceful settlements of differences. Decency must prevail in Mt. Olivet Baptist Church and Dr. Gilbert should be supported, and not hampered in his religious work. When "District Attorney Lewis, of Boston," in speaking at the Anderson dinner, remarked that the time allotted to him was about up, and was greeted with a spontaneous chorus of "Go on, go on," he smiled, and pausing a moment, said: "Oh, I wish the Boston Guardian could see me now." The point was at once seen by the guests, and they applauded in that vociferous manner as to leave no doubt that The Guardian has not, and cannot do damage to the element and free-published creator from Boston. 1. The Washington contingent, Dainey, Terrell, Tyler, Cobb, Archer, Clifford and Gray, remarked that they would not have missed the dinner to Anderson for a thousand dollars. They expressed themselves at delighted with the courtesy shown them by New Yorkers. We were glad to have had them, with us. Outside of Hon. Charles W. Anderson, one of the most pleased men at the dinner was Dr. Washington. His very countenance beamed with delight. New HAYEN, Feb. 3.—Rev. Dr. E. George Hiddle, presiding Elder of the E. George Hiddle District, has the following things to say about Southern women: "One of the most interesting and encouraging sights we have witnessed in the Southland was the hundreds of our people, young and old, working in the vineyard in Fayetteville and at Kinston, in Kentucky, in the church of gratitude to Rev. L. W. Thurston, the pioneer Afro-American silk manufacturer, who started the factory in Fayetteville and is now manager of one at Kinston; such enterprises as this in actual business, are growing in the face of new problem. And yet some are foolish enough to say that the Negro cannot work cotton after it leaves the field, doubtless inside of 40 years our race will running at least 20 per cent. of the silk cotton and woolen mills in the Southland." "While one and friend Trutter and his kindred posists in Boston are declaring that the race cannot make progress because of discrimination against us, we are not making progress in real progress alone almost all times." Prof. Thurston and his family, who are all expert silk workers, are to give exhibitions of the work at our general conference of the church will enlarge and help them." Mr. William Miller, an employee of the University Club, died suddenly last Monday, January 27. While the deceased was on his way to the dispensary to have an epileptic fit, He was taken with an epileptic fit. He was moved to the New Haven Hospital, where he soon expired. The obsequies were held the following Wednesday afternoon from his late residence, 34 W. Houston Street, (714) 255-2555, of Florida. It is said that he left a personal note of $1,000. Mrs. Emma Campbell, aged 37 years, a native of this city, died last Thursday at Wellington Square. The will was made the following Saturday from St. Luke's P. E. Church, of which she was a member. Rector Harry O. Bowles conducted the ceremony. The deceased is survived by his wife, Rector Harry O. Bowles, rector of St. Luke's P. E. Church, royally entertained the class confirmed two weeks ago last Wednesday evening at the rectory. 26 Sperry street. The guests were enthusiastic praise of the host's entertaining qualities. A mass meeting under the auspices of the Goffe Street Y. M. C. A. will be held at the Dixwell Avenue Congregational Church Sunday, the 9th inst., at 2 p.m. The address will be delivered by Dr. D. M. Church, Baptist Church. The music will be preached by the choir of St. Luke's P. E. Church. Oklahoma Legislature Expected to Adopt a Grandfather Art This Week. GUTHER, Okla., Jan. 26—The expected in the Oklahoma Legislature is about to be realized in an election measure, dragen by Senator L. K Taylor, of Chickasaw, to be introduced this week and no doubt passsed, to disfranchise the Oklahoma Negroes. Its important section follows: "Before a ballot shall be issued to any elector he may be required, provided a majority of the precinct election board so desires, to read and constitute any section of the present State or Federal Constitution that the said majority may designate, and should, said person he unable to properly read and construe such section, although he possesses all other qualifications of an elector, he shall not be allowed to vote, provided, however, that the provisions of this act shall not apply to any person whose grandfather or grandfather enjoyed the right to vote under some form of government." Cincinnati, Feb. 4.—There is perhaps nothing more interesting in the fast developing life of the Negro people of this country than their restless enterprise in pushing themselves into every snook and corner of this great country of oura. They are not staying in one place north or south and contenting themselves with the conditions into which they were born. In every habitable space of this great west, and in spite of their gathering an ever increasing host of colored men and women eagerly seeking to become a part of whatever is good and helpful in regions far remote from their original habitat. Mr. S. J. Evans, of this city, an interested reader of The Ace, who a few weeks ago furnished your correspondent with some valuable information concerning the status of the colored people in the southwest, has just returned from an extended tour in the west, visiting such cities as Denver, Colorado Springs, Ogden and Salt Lake City, Utah, Kansas City, Mo., Austin and San Antonio, Texas. In nearly all of these cities Mr. Evans, found colored people in increasing numbers, easily adapting themselves to the conditions of western life. The majority of the colored people in these western states were frightened from the south. They were familiar from their experiences seekers for better living conditions for themselves and their families. In none of the places visited was there to be found any trace of problem. The people generally are an industrious, money-saving class, and engaged in all kinds of labor, and there was not discerned the least bit of friction between the races. Denver and Its People. In the city of Denver there are about many colored people. This does not even many in a city having a population of minority people, yet they are cordially treated and generally regarded as citizen citizens. Such people that of minority people are public porters or in mercantile houses, hotel work and street cleaning, that in Chicago and civilian cities is done by Indians and Swedes, is almost exclusively done by colored men. It is literally true that colored men and women who are able and willing to do this kind of work find their jobs and they receive good wages for their work. There is in Denver a finely appointed drug store owned and carried on by Dr. Frankner. Two finely equipped undertaking establishments, owned by Q. G. Gilmore and Louis Hubbard respectively. Miss Maud Thomas conducts a prosperous beauty parlor. Mr. S. Bondorant has a well-established business of cleaning, dying and repairing ladies and gentlemen's clothing, employing men and women as assistants, also the physicians, two assistants, three policemen and one lawyer. In the city fire department there is one company composed entirely of colored men, including the officers of the company. One of the best positions, held by a colored person, is that of Miss Mabel Forshe, who is an expert money counter in the U. S. Mint. Miss Forshe is an accomplished and versatile young woman. She is regarded as the most brilliant pianist in the city, is an organist in the Baptist Church, and plays one of the instruments in an orchestra composed of her own brothers and sisters, in a musical family. Mrs. Fisher, formerly of Chicago, is also a clerk in the U. S. Mint. The prosperity of the colored people of Denver is further evidenced by the large amount of valuable real estate and other evidence of improvement and other evidences of improved conditions among our people in Denver and other cities is here cited as showing that when our people are given a fair chance in the race of life, they easily measure up to all the requirements of good citizenship. There are about 2,700 colored people in Colorado Springs. They find plenty of employment and live at peace with their neighbors. One lawyer, one doctor and enough preachers constitute the professional group of this city. At this place Mr. Evans' attention was called to a remarkable instance of well-placed confidence in colored men. It was made known to him that for several years the Kansas City Division of the Union Pacific R. R. Company has employed exclusively colored men as flagmen and brakemen. Your correspondent is informed that not another railroad in the country entrusts colored men with positions of such grave responsibility. Members of the Railway Union have year after year bitterly opposed giving positions of this character to colored men but has the superintendent in charge to stand by these black men who have so faithfully and efficiently filled their posts of responsibility to life and property. It is the proud boast of this division of the Union Pacific Railroad that the company has not suffered a single accident since these colored men have been so employed. Odgen's Railroad School. In Ogden, Utah, there was found an institution managed by a company of colored men that has achieved a notable success in their line of work. The business of this company is to conduct a sort of training school for colored men who desire to enter the railway service as cooks, porters and waiters. The company furnishes thoroughly instruction to every applicant so that they may be fully prepared to enter any branch of the railway system. Southern Pacific, the Oregon Short Line and the Ogden-Railroad and Navigation Co. will not employ any men unless they come with a certificate of training from this school. Such has been the success of the institution that the company is arranging to enlarge its The two teams of the group are in the charge of the campaign. The two teams of the group are in the charge of the campaign. The two teams of the Group have been a head G. R. Wey is the lead, including the company's top member of the information, and also has a�stship of working all the endored labor for the building of the Western Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande Holland. The company serves up be well-organized, already damaged and the research of labor they are serving to the construction of a great railway gives them a fine business standing in the community in which they live. The colored people seem to be just a little bit sky of Salt Lake City, as there are only 1,000 living there. They evidently have no living for Morợm, upon principles and do not hunger for its "special privilages." There are, however, in the city two colored policemen, and a well organized Walter's Club that is managed by E. R. Hatfield and Jesse Jackson. Home of the "Petite Dame." In returning to Chicago through Kansas, there was an opportunity to visit and inspect, the famous "potato farm" exclusively owned and operated by Mr. Grove, who is justly rated as one of the most successful and original and well-known colored men in the field of agriculture. The very first glimpse of Mr. Grove's 500 acre farm suggests, that some master mind must be behind what is thus revealed to you. A great many interesting things have been said of Mr. Grove as a "potato king," but it is scarcely possible to exaggerate the actuality of Mr. Grove's holdings and achievements. His scientifically cultivated, fields, magnificent family residences, and railway switch directly to his warehouse all give evidence of wonderful industry and enterprise. One of the most interesting and profitable branches of his agricultural output is his extensive sugar kraft factory, which is one of the largest in the state. Mr. Grove is particularly fortunate in having about him an unpaid family, all of whom contribute directly and efficiently to their father's success. The Grove children are described as an bright, alert and caryllily devoted to their parents the love and devotion of their children and children of their own and safe agricultural enterprise is the result of family cooperation. The level of education of St. Louis, Mo. is about to do something that is altogether new and interesting in the field of manual training. It has been decided to purchase an automobile for the manual training department of the summer high school of that city. It is proposed to teach all young colored men who wish to learn scientific auto-working. This course is to become a part of the curriculum. Chauffeurs with diploma will be out from this school at the close of each term. Students will be taught automobile mechanics. In other words, the course is to be so thorough and scientific that it will give these colored men graduates a decided advantage over the thousands of chauffeurs who pick up their knowledge in a hands- hazard sort of way. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. LINK BASSETT NEARLY FROZEN Found Lying Numb in Hia Cet—Now at City Hospital. PROVINCE. Feb. 4—There were two deaths the past week.

M. E. Church, Meeting street, last week, has turned out a large number of converts. It was the most successful heist, and Society has been very quiet during the past week. Thursday evening last Mrs. Charlotte Wood, of Bridgham street, gave a birthday party to a large circle of friends. The evening was spent in suspense and anxiety. During the evening a supper was enjoyed, followed by several congratulations for being a good hostess and was wished many more years of joy to come. Miss Annie Wilson, of 4 Sawin place, is sick.

He regarded it as a disqualification that we would not be as called to do him honor. But confidence, guidance, I am also confident that he is a faithful and dedicated citizen since Ohio declined to watch from old Wisconsin as the present title of the mother of Presidents. I am available enough to admit that Mr. Anderson's residence in New York increased his self-confidence. We could not think or believe otherwise to a New York life within the past few years. We could witness a victim to deserved presidential. "That seriously speaking, when every member of this race of minors forgets the fact that our skin is chanled with the skin of the enemy, and strikes our own win success simply on the assumption of confidence in our own ability, in our own integrity, and in our own industry as men, then will the funereal demurication of our soul, which is the result of demurication in the mind of unnecessarily considering it, fade into indiscreet mist, and we will then battle for a living in any section, battle we succeed in any State, unhappened in any State, and unhappened in any State." The career of the man we are honoring to night teaches, and impresses upon us this lesson, that where we have confidence in ourselves all things are possible, that we have confidence in ourselves all things are possible, that we have confidence in ourselves all things are possible, that we have recognized and honored Charles W. Anderson, the city of New York." JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL Delivered, the Following Speech at the Anderson Hauquet. Mr. Tousnastier and Gentlemen—To have an opportunity to say a word on this presentation, I would like to mention which I deeply appreciate. When I say that this event is not only unusual but JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL extraordinary I speak advisely, for I come from a city where it has long been customary to do honor to the public men of our race by means of banquets, dinners and great meetings. And for the past quarter of a century I have been a small part of these affairs. And never before have I participated in a function of this nature that brought together so many distinguished men, some whom have come from distant cities, gladly have come from their personal interests at home to contribute of respect to one of the ablest and most brilliant men developed in our race since Abraham Lincoln issued his great historic document. "It is peculiarly appropriate that the District of Columbia should have a place on this program to night, for it is a federal reservation and we are here to do honor to a national character. In the second place, this small bit of territory, ten miles square, has as a part of its population nearly 100,000 men, women and children with Negro blood in their cells—perhaps the largest 'aggregation of African descent in any one community in the United States and among those of them who read and keep in touch with the trend of affairs relating to the larger interests of our government no colored man in public life is more favorably known and more ```markdown ``` "Wonderful dignity have given place in our nation for fifty years." When one of you, who is in this stood upon the ruins of the late slave Slave and behind the prostrate faeces of the former master, it affirmed, "White of the faeces," would have said that which it does now from then this the slave would be a United National House of the People, the Governor of a Blayne and a foreign Minister? And whom prophetic could have peered into the future a decade beyond that period and forsoid that this same ex-slave would be cast down from his lofty place in the State, stripped of his newly acquired dignities and honors—oppressed, hated, persecuted and even denied the protection of the laws of his country? Let this was the fact. Such for the people who no parallels to history. It was simply a booze poet that was a mine of striking incidents rather than the laying of a foundation for substantial growth. The laws which determine the destinies of individuals, races and nations are impartial and eternal. The Negro could not escape them. He was beaten back to the place whence other races begin life. But he is forging to the front again along lines of development, better and stronger man, with a political leadership is blazing the way for him. The old leadership, intense in purpose and strong in action, held its own for a time against tremendous odds, but its ultimate failure was written in the book of fates the struggle had begun. "In recent years, colored men of the North began to make claims for distinguished official recognition at the hands of the National Administration. For a time they made little headway with their crimes, but they kept on year after year, persistently denying and defaming this right until a President, in tow with other leaders, ordered them to show that they believed that the crimes they committed were justified and to give them the belief they came into their own State, the greatest State in their own MR. HARRY S. MIDDLETON President Colored Republican Club country, and selected Charles W. Anderson for one of the most important positions in the gift of the National Government. "Thus our new political leadership began its work with one of the ablest, strongest and most capable men of the Negro race at the helm. When Charles W. Anderson was made Collector of Internal Revenue in New York a new day dawned for us and a new sun arose. And we know that nothing is more sure than that the sun once arisen must take his undevailing course on to the fulness of noonday." Addreda of Gr. P. B. S. Pinchback at the Anderson Dinner Mr. Tostmaster and Gentlemen: The Colored Republican Club of the City of New York is gathering this notable company here in gathering this notable founder and present honorary president, a worthy son of the Empire State, has not only done itself proud but conferred upon each member of this rare company a gift. I am sure I voice the sentiment of this distinguished assemblage when I say it is good to be here. It reminds me of the happy land where it is said, "congregation breaks up and Babathas have no end." I have known the gentleman who is the guest of honor for many years, and have watched with a critical eye his conduct as citizen and public officer, and his respect have found him equal to the experience of his disjointing and disconcerting enemies. During all these years he was a loyal advocate and steadfast friend. I am not one of those whose gratitude is only for favors to come. I am grateful for air flavors past, and therefore, it affords me the greatest pleasure to testify in person, and acclaim with you my respect for evidence in, and admiration of the man. He is not perfect. No human being is. But all in all, he is an exceptional man. A politician with few equals, and no propriety, tactful and resourceful. He is unpopular, whose unpleasant we meet, and through it, ours. He colored voters of this great city as they were never organized before, and made them a potent factor in the politics of the city and State. This club has been of some uneasable benefit to this people. But it is not. He is a born diplomat; a genius in marking and holding friends; urbane, but not syphonaphic; dignified, but not pompous; possessed of an uncommon amount of common sense, he has succeeded in making him one of the most popular men in the State, with white and black His admirable personal characteristics as well as his efficiency has made his administration of the office of Internal Affairs of New York not only acceptable to the business men in his district and all classes having to do with his office, but also to the president's approval of the national administration. It was courageous and mainly on the part of President Roosevelt to make this appointment; albeit it was a just recognition of the president's efforts and they are truly grateful for it and proud of the distinction conferred upon them, but they are proud still that the Colonel was justified the wisdom of his appointment. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` MR.

CLOVER AND TIMOTHY HAY Last Two Years on the Farm in the Rotation of Crops. The old method of manuring for winter grain, and which is followed to a very large extent to-day, was to take the summer's accumulation of barydum manure in the oat field and then in the oat stubble. The one great trouble about this plan is that the grass catches in those parts where the manure was put and fails to a very large extent, spotted or patchy appearance of clover and timothy fields treated in the above-named way. In the newer method of hauling the manure direct from the stable to the field the results are very greater. In the old method the manure a larger piece of ground than formerly. Many farmers fail to see the wisdom of this method and plod along in the same old rut. The writer will be about to write of manure under the head of results. Since the next two years in the rotation deal with the same subject, hay making, they will be studied together. In conjunction with the soil to deal with. We have noted that this part of the work must be done in the third year of the rotation. Too much stress cannot be put upon this point, however, for at least the soil to be pended upon the amount of work expended in preparing the winter grain bed. One cannot be too careful about the selection of his grass and clover seeds. The imposition of some unsupervised seedmen may be for the farmer to combat this species of dishonesty is to thoroughly acquaint himself with good timothy and clover seeds. There is absolutely no reason why he should pay $2.50 per pound for clover and get half of it wild carrots and other noxious weeds. It is not an uncommon thing to grass fields where the wild carrots have almost amothered the grass and still others where one cannot tell whether they are trying to raise grass or grow daisies. We have seen that the timothy seeds were sown in the fall and the glover on the same field in the spring. Since the clover grows much faster than the wheat when the first year; first and second crops. The first crop is taken off the latter part of June and the second about the last of August. Many do not make their clover hay until most of the blossoms have broken. This is a wasteful method. In the first place the stalks of the plant have grown woody and have lost their nutritive value as feed. On the other hand nearly half of the leaves are lost in the handling. Split stalks of the plant are as good as fair as the real food value contained in them is concerned. The writer thinks that the proper time for cutting and curing clover hay is when the plant is in full bloom. At this stage of the plant's life every particle of the cured hay is valuable for food, especially for milch cows. The grass mower is started early in the morning so as to give the hay ample chance to cure and be dried. It is important that the hay can be put away the same day, as the eight dew has a tendency to turn the hay dark and also cause it to lose leaves in the second drying. The last year in the rotation brings us to Timothy hay and back to the starting point. A certain farmer in the writer's neighborhood allows him Timothy to stall it for a week. Timothy ripens seeds that the hay weigh more. It undoubtedly does, but it is worth practically nothing as food. It simply fills: it does not nourish. Timothy should be allowed to stall so the soils sooms, for if it is left very much longer than this, like clover it becomes woody and looses the greater part of its value as food. If the hay is not very heavy it is cut in the morning just as soon as the sun is up, the hay in the barn, in afternoon. If it does not remain the day that it is cut it is raked into windows over night to keep the dew from wetting it through. If allowed to lay first as it was cut the dew of the night before it is motioned to the sun next day bleaches the hay and causes it to lose its green color. Now that the hay has been taken off, the field is ready to be prepared for next 797 Fulton Street, Brooklyn Telephone 5711 L-Present Don't be Buried Out and Have Nothing Left.

Criticism, 111, Jan. 25. Notwithstanding the fact that the newspapers of Chicago have vied with each other in defending the university's center of order prejudice, the university authorities, announced in the selection of E. J. Murray, a Negro to represent Chicago in the annual debate between the University of Washington and Universities at Excursion, 111. Mr. A. H Stone, a Southerner and a special investigator of social problems in Washington, D.C., developed two lectures at the University of Chicago recently, hearing on the race question in the United States. The lecture "Education between the Races" Mr. Stone defined that the only possible solution of the Negro problem is social equality. Without this equality, the problem of little racial But the white population can never think of making the Negroes their social equals. It is economic competition that makes the Negroes their social equals. At this point the speaker took occasion to remind his hearers of the "profound ignorance of the white people as to what the Negro are doing and thinking about." He disbelieved that he was a subscriber to seventen Negro newspapers and five magazines. All of which he disclosed he reads as zealously as he does the Bible. His interest in the race problem is not confined to America but also to five native South African papers. The second lecture, "The Negro in Southern Economic History," was catalogue of Southern economic conditions before and since the abolition of slavery. The final application amounted to a justification of the Southern slavery system. Smart Set Defeats Marathon The Smart Set basket ball team, who thus have an undefeated rsd, completely smothered the Marathon five in a championship contest last Friday evening.

Semantic were the Smart Set signal plays that every man on the team was enabled to make one or more baskets. Captain Scotton was little slow to get the second made several brilliant shots. Earle Smith and Fred Brown, of the Marathon, played cleverly in the early stages of the game, but the support reserved from their teammates was extremely weak. The line up: C. Scotton, C. Moore, R.

JOHNSON Attorney and Counselor at Law MORTGAGE LOANS 395 BROADWAY New York City Phone 1138 Franklin Nov. 21-8m A well-known business care and worries on January 17 to make a surprise visit South to see his mother, sister and a host of friends, returning North on the 38th after spending a most enjoyable and pleasant sojourn in Berkley. Va. He was royally entertained while among the good and hospitable friends of Berkley, among them was the Rev. D. Bibbons pastor of the Sixth Service, M. E. Church, and the grandparent's mother, Mrs. Johnson. His mother, Mrs, J. E. Reid, 200 Walker avenue, and his sister, Mrs. Florence B. Carter, principal of the Berkley School, received and entertained him with much joy and happiness after an absence of thirteen years. Brother Smallwood with 1. J. FRANKLIN SMALLWOOD a great deal of pleasure relates his appreciation of his recent visit among old friends in the Southland of his birth. A short sketch of his interesting career will not be out of place here Brother J. Franklin Smallwood, born May 7, 1876, at Berkley, Va., had an interesting career as a young man in finding the ways of the pathfinder to success, thus doing his own to uphold the traditions of his family. He coined of free people who were highly esteemed by the citizens during the trying hours of slavery in the Old Dominion. He received his education in the schools of Berkley and Baltimore, Md., where he resided seven years, during which time he attended the St. Almine Seminary. He came North in 1884. added the New York Law School, 20 years. Through efficiency and a personal pride in his work as a student, he secured the position of chief law clerk with the Empire State law firm from 1896 to 1898, after which he resigned and went to New Haven, Comp. to accept the position of private secretary to Mr. Edward Malley, the millionaire dry goods merchant, in whose employ he conducted himself with discretion and honor. During 1903 he attended law lectures at Yale University, and on February 2, 1904, he returned to New York City to enter the law firm of Marx & Mayer, 220 Broadway, as chief law clerk. While in the employ of this firm he continued his law studies with marked efficiency. During this time of employment he was appointed a Commissioner of Deeds he held and a New York county, which he still holds with market success and ability. Shortly after receiving the appointment he had the extreme pleasure of taking the acknowledgment of one of the largest Anglo-Saxon fraternal orders in New York, better known as the fraternity of the "B. P. O. E." which was about to form a stock company in their organization, receiving a double remuneration by check on the Bank of Wells, Fargo & Co. for his services. After leaving the law firm in 1805 he applied for a position, through prominent supporters, in the State Bank, State depository of New York City—an institution having deposits of over $16,000. He succeeded and is the first Afro-American to hold the position of collector of office which he now holds with integrity, intelligence and honor and credit, not only to himself and the institution, but the race as well. It speaks volumes for the aspiring young Afro-American seeker of reliable and responsible positions in the city and State. Brother Smallwood continues his law studies, and the Sprague Institute of Law, Detroit, Mich., recently gave him 100 per cent law studies. He hopes to graduate in a year and earnest practical night studies and hang out his "shingle" not many years hence. Brother Smallwood is one of the keenest and best students of the institution. He is an expert on differential equations of fraternal organization and the larger phases of its evolutions, and is considered one of its most sagacious fraternal man in this section of the country. He has done no promiscuous acts, and his services gratuitously to all good men for the uplift of Eldham, and has taken a vital interest in the order since its advent in Greater New York. Rochester Lodge No. 24, B. P. O., Elk (white), who defended the action brought by Brother H. David Murray, of Flower City Lodge No. 91, I. B. P. O., Elk, against Exalted Ruler Dr. Richard J. Decker, and obtained a judgment for $200 for false arrest and imprisonment, May 16, 1904, voted at a recent meeting to apply to Justice S. Nelson Sawyer, before whom Brother Murray was tried October 28, 1907, for a new trial. The motion will probably be argued this week. It is reliably said the motion is denied, the decision will be appealed from, and this already celebrated case goes to the Appellate Division of the Court of Appeals and chance to the Court of Appeals in Case 1. Concern for Brother Murray is contained in earlier court. We present await the trial of this case on appeal by the Rochester Lodge and its interest. On January 11th, the Executive Council held an inaugural and public symposium, entitled *Articles*, to publicize the DoP's Prize Dome followed up providing with performances, and other constructive legislation, which will be communicated to the public and the Artists later in this publication. Brother Benjamin Harris, 614 Harlmer street, who has been on the sick list quite seemsğra, received by recommendation of the relief committee two weeks sick benefits $16. Meers Joseph Brown and Wright Pretman made application for membership and were favorably considered for initiation at the proper time. The following gentlemen were initiated into the Mysterious Forest of Elkhorn and decided to be worthy of affiliation: John Williams, Julian Domingo, Bert McCoy, George M. Martin, Theo Lucas, William Jenkins, J. R. Berch, J. Harvey Walker, Edward Henry, James B. Robinson, Emanuel Roberts, Henry Franier, Samuel Pinder and William Rayner. It is confidentially remounded that Brooklyn Lodge will have four hundred financial members by June and after the meeting of February 3 we hope to be in a position to give the public some interesting facts relative to the movement on foot. SUI JUKE ROBUCK, P. E.R., No. 32. February 2, 1908. BISHOP NOT RESPONSIBLE Bishop Alexander Walters, from information furnished us, is not responsible for colored men not being placed in important positions in Jersey City. Five appointed persons were promised to colored men have been appointed, and the delay in the appointment of the others is caused by Mr. Bispoli not going forward in the matter. Bishop Walters was active in the last campaign in the mayoralty election against the Republican in the treatment meted out to them by the Republican mayor, and is as strongly in favor of the Republican party as before. Warwick Nets The U. A. M. E. Church for the past four weeks has had a large revival. Many souls were added. Sister Rosa Taylor, the singing evangelist, and her sister, Miss Maria Lymas, spent two weeks with the church.

The severity of the outbreak was much greater past weeks has caused much suffering among the poor. The wastage of this important class of our population are being suplied by a charitable public as best it can be done. Most of the charity work is being done through the Richmond City Mission, Mrs. Ada G. Lovis, Mrs. Lawis and the good women associated with her, have for several years been looking out for the wants and needs of the people of the race in Richmond and have, as the saviors, the thanks of the entire people for the self-sacrificing and humane work. The physicians of the city also do much of charity work, while medicines are dispensed by the management of Richmond Hospital and the druggists among our people. Founder's Day, January 31, the metal day of the late General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, founder of Hampton Norman Agricultural Institute, was most recently observed by Richmond Chapter the Armstrong League last Friday evening. Public exercises were held in True Reformer's Opera Hall and a most interesting program readened. Devotional exercises were conducted by the Rev. Dr. A. J. Nealgham, chaplain, and the Rev. Dr. R. O. Nealgham, an "An Ode to Armstrong," an original poem was read by Mim M. Autonette Penlester, a short address by the president, Mr. Walt Jones. Major R. R. Morton, of Hampon, was the orator of the evening; he was presented by the Rev. Dr. D. Webster Davis in a most felicitous address. Major Morton's address was a beautiful tribute to the life and work of General Armstrong as soldier, citizen, educator and philanthropist. As an educator the speaker dwelt particularly upon his Hampton work and the great good that had been done not only for a race, but for a nation. He was a student of the students of Hampton had gone forth planting and sowing not only in America but abroad. He urged the Southern Negro to be honest, thrifty, frugal, religious and to be a man of virtue, which he can call home, and with all of the full meaning which the term implies. The exercises were interpersued with a solo by Miss Bertha Swette and selections by the orchestra of Virginia Union University. After the exercises a reception was tendered Major Morton by the chapter at the residence of the president, Mrs. M. Jones. While in the city Major Morton was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Burrell. The Dunbar Literary and Historical Society is doing more to arouse the Afro-American people of Richmond along lines that make or break 'racist' advancement in our nation's organization among us in a number of years. Meetings of /he society are held fortnightly and at each meeting papers are read and at each meeting a material point of view, and these are followed by a free and full discussion. Here are a few of the subject that have been discussed this season. "Funeral Reception," Mrs. W. W. Burrell, "Mourning from a Hygienic Standpoint," Dr. W. H. Hughes; "The Negro and the Law," Attorney-General William Lewin; "Moral Reforms," Mrs. W. W. Burrell; "Economical problems, the society is giving the race an insight into Negro biography. Miss Maude Mundin has presented an excellent paper on the life and works of African Americans by sketches of the lives of other prominent Afro-Americans. "Current Events," the society's journal is read at each meeting by the editor, and as its name implies, deals with present affairs and conditions. Its editorial utterances caused the society to take two important steps recently—one was the appointment of a committee to seek the co-operation of the universities and the Baptist Ministers' Conference in the formulation of a committee to petition the public school authorities of Richmond asking for a thorough business course in the Afro-American schools of the city, a course which is not now purified. The other was the appointment of a committee to draw up a petition, memorializing the legislature of the State, now in session, for an appropriation sufficient to carry out the provision of the legislature into the legislature of 1906 founding a school for the Afro-American deaf, dumb and blind of the State. This latter committee, Dr. R. E. Jones, chairman: George St. Julian Stephens, secretary: Dr. C. E. cebster Mr. M. F. Burke and the Dr. W. F. Graham, has performed its work. The third in the series of its lecture and entertainment course will be the lecture February 20 by the Hon. W. T. Vernor, vice president; in Third Street A. M. E.

LINCOLN INSTITUTENOTES of State—New Teacher Added. JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 5. The end of the second term of the scholastic year is approaching, and signs of examination have little to fear, although on the work of the first and second terms very largely depends the success of the year. The honorable Secretary of State, W. E. Swainner, has very kindly kindly the number of his gold medal to the member of the Senior Class who receives the highest average in scholarship. President B. F. Allen has generously established another record by offering a gold scholarship to a student who has received more Normal Class receiving the highest average. The Sophomore Class, highly appreciating this special act of kindness to them, school at large, have presented to President Allen a beautiful chair for his personal use in the chapel.

Appropriate Lincoln exercises will be observed by the school on Feb. 12. The Senior Class and the principal address of the evening will be made by President Allen. Douglas Day will also be observed, the Junior Climax giving the program. The Whittier centenary was we loved in October.

The White Ribbon Temperance Society is presided over by Miss Anna Greaves; they hold interesting meetings each Wednesday evening. 405 drummond hill church Prophet Jones ended his 10 days' visit to Union Baptist Church on West 83rd street, Thursday evening, January 30, with a grand sermon and service. He has made a most profound impression, and ten people of the parish are united with a stronger bond of Christian faith. The revival goes on and immense good is being accomplished. Prophet Jones made another prophecy concerning New York and claims the present tide of sin must be checked, as he says he has seen a great hole knocked in New York city by the wrath of God, and the city shaken until black as midnight. On Sunday Pastor Sims preached to a crowded congregation on "the Devil's Hog Killing." All present were greatly enthused over the able way in which he handled his subject. At 2 p. m. the Sunday School was attended by a small army of children. Superintendent J. E. Yates was at his post of duty and held a fine session. At 5.30 the B. Y. P. U. met, conducted by President Miss E. Ferguson. The evening service was conducted by the pastor. His subject was "Dry Bones." The sermon was very inspiring. The services were all well attended and the collection was very large, being $169.87. Two celebrations of the Holy Communion were held Sunday morning at St. Philip's-Church, one at seven and the other at eight o'clock. They were fairly well attended. At the 11 o'clock service Rev. Daniels preached a strong logical sermon, which possessed a high spiritual significance. The service was well attended; following it Communion was again celebrated. Sunday School met at three o'clock and Vesper service at four. At the evening service, the feast of the Purification (Candle Mass) was celebrated. This event is a red letter day in the church year. During the processional candles are collected from the congregation which are to be used on the altar during the year. These candles were secured in the vestibule of the church before the service. During the service, Rev. H. C. Bishop wore a cope, a beautiful gown, one of the most elaborate ever seen at this church. The Rev. Dr. Robbins, Dean of the Theological Seminary, delivered a very eloquent sermon. St. Cyprian's Chapel. All members wishing to join the confirmation class of St. Cyprus' Chagal should hand their names in as early as possible, as the classes now meeting are advancing rapidly and the rector is anxious that all should get in early. The class meets every Thursday evening at eight o'clock. Sunday services were well attended and conducted in impressive fashion by Rev. Johnson and Rev. Howard, both delivering strong sermons. The two Sunday School classes were well attended and are increasing in member- / St. David's P. E. Church. On last Sunday St. David's P. E. Church celebrated its twelfth anniversary. At the morning service the church was filled to overflowing with the parishioners and friends who took part in the most beautiful service ever rendered in the history of the parish. The Right Rev. Henry C. Potter, Bishop of New York, delivered the anniversary sermon and was the celebrant of the Holy Lunchist. The Ven. Ardelaeon Nelson was present and assisted in the service. The musical program, which consisted of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus and Crinkshank's Communion service in E. was beautifully rendered by the vested choir of 20 voices, assisted by the plane and New Amsterdam orchestra. The good bishop spoke very faintly to the congregation, congratulating the rector, Dr. Clifton, and wishing both continued and greater success. Rev. Paul Thomas, secretary of the Newark Y. M. C. A., addressed the York Y. M. C. A., last Sunday, on "Every Man's Need." He said that men need a hiding place or a refuge from four things: A guilty conscience, inward sin, the power of the devil, and the wrath to come. On February 20 at the association rooms the Newark Dramatic Club will render "Cinderella" Next Sunday will be "Lincoln Day" at the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Spence, of Holoken, will speak on the "Statue of the Black Man in the South American republics. On February 9 the Y. W. C. A. will be addressed by Mrs. Salyta Harris, superintendent of the Juvenile Department of the Northwestern Federation of Women's Clubs. Her subject will be "The Life That Counts." The St. Mark's Lyceum resumed its meetings last Sunday, and was addressed by a prominent speaker. On Thursday evening, February 13, "Lincoln, Douglass and Brown Night" will be observed. Prominent Brooklyn and New York speakers will be present. At St Mark's Church, Sunday morning, Rev Raney, of Atlanta, preached, Regular Epworth League service was held in the evening, and Dr Brooks preached the night sermon Members and friends of Abyssinian Baptist Church gladly welcomed the return of their pastor, Dr Morris, who arrived Ohio on many morning absence services have conducted by Rev. Holden and Rev Wilcher. At Bethel Church, last Sunday, Rev Ransom preached the morning sermon. In the evening Dr. Stinson of Morris Brown College, spoke. His text was "As many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Dr. Stinson urged Christians to act so that sinners wound want to be Christians; and to keep delinquent members in the church, as driving them out would deprive them of Christian contact. He also said that men preached from the heart and not from the brain; and that the Negro race survives because it is religious. Rev Ransom announced that on February 27 Hon. W. T. Vernon, Registrar of the United States Treasury, will speak at Bethel Church. Rev Ranson said he felt particularly honored, as Registrar Vernon had refused many invitations to speak in New York. Rev Miller's church, on 134th street, is continuing its revivals with success. As Rev Miller was ill when called on, the exact number of converts was unobtainable. The first meeting of the Young People's Literary Society of Baptist Temple since the installation of new officers was held Tuesday evening. The meeting of the society was most harmonious and successful. All members are taking an active interest, in not only the society but in the life of the church. Mr. Walter A. Boyd, of Manhattan, who is in Albany this winter in the State Assembly, was a visitor to the city last week, coming down to attend the Anderson dinner. Mr. Boyd secured his appointment through the influence of Mr. Anderson. Mrs. Richard Lee, of 215 West 29th street, will receive friends on the afternoon and evening of Lincoln's Birthday. Mr. E. V. Butler, son of Rev. C. LeRoy Butler, was graduated from Public School No. 32, Thursday, January 30, and will enter City College February 5. He was graduated with high honors, and was the only colored member of his class. He was tendered a reception by his brother, Ernest, on the evening of his graduation at his home, 436 West 33d street. A number of boy friends were present and spent a most enjoyable evening, after which refreshments were served. St. Philip's Guild will give a recital and dance at Palm Garden, in April, immediately after Easter Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. Smith, of 243 West 29th street, entertained lavishly last Thursday evening Messrs. R. Brown, Richard M. Lee, P. Roach, W. Black, H. Lee and Mr. Turner, also Mrs. E. Eatington, Miss V. Branch, Miss Green and Mr. and Mrs. R. Deas. Mr. Solomon Johnson is a most energetic and useful member of the Colored Republican Club and of the 13th Assembly District. The colored Republicans of the district should be proud of him and rally to his support. Mr. Harry Middleton deserves great credit for his management of the Anderson dinner. He was painstaking and looked after every detail, and The Age congratulates him and his associates on its great success. A PENNSYLVANIA CITY. J. M. Henderson Written of the Residents of Erie, Pa. I will try to unkne a clear, succinct statement of some facts which I have learned about the 500 colored people of Erie Pa. It is a unique community may teach some lessons. About 25 families of colored people were here in the 500s, others have come since then, on or two at a time, until now about one third of the colored population is made up of what the older families call "new comers." I have been here over three months and during that time have not in length encountered a colored man biffle on any occasion. I have never seen or persons of the race behaving unseemly in public places and have heard or read of but one arrest and that in the case of a man from another city. All of the families live neat homes, although as a rule they are quite modest; there are about three sections of the city in which they live, there are more of less grouped, but there are more of less families scattered about among white neighbors and away from the streets where th colored people mostly live. The public school, the public library all public places of amusement are open to the race, those who want fine difficulty in getting residence elsewhere than in the sections where groups of the race live, but those who wish to buy a house in the race far has been tried. About 100 educated people belong to various white churches and are kindly treated, but in only one instance has any one of the race been called upon to engage in church work among the white people and that is in the case of Mr. James Hooks, a counsellor of ice cream, the owner of two buildings on the town business street in St. James Church, and in 1907 he is a trustee of the First Baptist Church and treasurer of the board. He has been engaged in business in this city for more than 10 years and is held in high esteem by both races. He is an honorary trustee of St. James A. M. E. Church which is the only church of the race in the city. He belongs to various organization among the business men of other strictly social gatherings but largely and freely mingles with the apparently people of his race in social Mr. James Franklin is another very commend and highly esteemed man of the race. He also has been engaged in the manufacturing of ice cream for more than forty years. He is now well along to age and has practically retired from his job and seems to hold his immense trade. There is another old citizen, J. E. Elmendorp, who has ran a real stable for over 16 years, one old citizen who runs a barber shop and a new comer who also runs a shop in which he has a liberal patronage, from both races. He is a member of the barbers union (the 19th century), and holds, about 15 waiters in the leading hotel and tour in a leading restaurant, eight or nine in domestic service, several cement workers, two painters, one very skillful blacksmith, one polo man, one tailor and a few holding good positions with the railheads. Alone, Williams, an undergraduate of the high school has for years made his elaborating pictures and painting paintings. I know if less than 29 colored people here who read any of the race papers, so far as I have learned not many more have library cards, three or four attend the Y. M. C. A., comparatively few go to the theaters, and but few patronize the restaurants. There is no friction that I have heard of resulting from the intercourse between the races, racial names not called, the papers seldom even discussate in mentoning news, but there are only one or two young men, not a couple, deisting, and there is the sad about making ventures along new lines. This is the home of Harry Murleigh who once sang in the choir of a prominent church here and who fills the largest auditorium when he visits his old home and sings. A business-good domestic servants could find pleasant employment here. A hundred or more men could easily find employment on the docks during the shipping seasons. The relations between the gues is friendly and yet the line is distinctly denaricated and mutually recognized. There is a club room which is said to be well personalized, but from which comes no talk of trouble. The 500 colored people here, mixed in among 60,000 white people, afflict a fair illustration to the need for a Negro treatment. There is no race pride, no ambition inspired by contact of one Negro with the other, but there is a self-respect, drift, and general respectability. While resting and trying to regain health will seek to make some sit in a community and get some new blood injected. Agent "Is the head of the house in sonny?"

That the evening industrial school which is being held in Public School No. 5, Duffield and Johnson streets, is a success goes without saying. When the establishment of such an institution became generally known it met with stubborn opposition. This opposition unfortunately was confined almost exclusively to the colored people. They contended that such a step was initiative of race discrimination. It was proven to them that the majority of signers were Italians, Irish and other nationalities, yet there were those who clung to their first impression and fought the mow both silently and publicly. Believing, however, that the colored antagonists knew not what they did, the promoters joined hands and worked vigorously for this line of work, forgetting the things which were behind them and pressing forward to the prize of their industrial calling. Satisfactory Work of School MATHEMATICS WORK OF SCHOOL That the school since its establishment last October has not only met, but surpassed the most sanguine expectation, cannot be denied. Every department of the school is filled with pupils eager to perfect, themselves, in some particular held at labor, or continue some branch of industry whereby he can better compete with advanced employment. They realize that competency, is one of the crying needs of the present and, will be an imperative requirement in the future. It is difficult to enter a parlor or church social without realizing the extent to which the young men and women are attending this chool. Any time after 9.30 in the evenings the attendance at these gatherings is increased to twice the number. The work being done in the various departments is entirely satisfactory. The scope of industries includes almost every location in ordinary every day life. The principal, Proof, John E. Thorne, is the graduating teacher in one of the Bronx public schools. He is fitted by experience and training to fill the responsible position. His manners are affable and his disposition amiable, while he is appreciated by all of the teachers with whom he is associated. When the school closed for the holidays, a most creditable exhibition was given to those who attended were highly gratified with the work done by the pupils, both old and young, and the evening was spent in a social way. School's Large Attendance. One of the most striking features in connection with the school is the large attendance of men and women of multiple age and older. They make model pupils and clearly demonstrate that one is never too old to learn. Some of the branches taught age dress-making, plum sawing, culinary, embroidery, typewriting, stenography, carpentry, mechanical drawing, engineering, both civil and electrical. All of these trades are well represented and the work makes a creditable showing. Republican Veteran Act The undisturbed repose which has attended the black voters for the past 10 old years, has given away to an interest which, like a deluge, must have an outlet. The formation of Hughes Leagues all over the county independent of the sentiment of the white constituency is a lesson which should have been taught white politicians years ago. The young black voter feels that he has long since paid his indelibleness to the Republican party and that faithfulness in the black voter is as worthy of consideration and as much entitled to reward as it is with the white voter. The political leaders of this country must be taught by concerted action that they cannot continue to promise black men positions and then make good these promises by putting the black voter on the back. Hughes League Formed. That the black water is dissatisfied and dignified is evidenced by the general uprising among the colored constituents of the country and which took the form last Wednesday evening or a Hughes League, composed of some of the most representative men in Brooklyn, plogged to support no man who is not in favor of the Governor. They are our against any man who is not for fair play and who will allow color to be a barrier to justice. The league was organized at the Young Republican Club, Nevans street, with the following officers: F H Gilbert, president; Goo E Willman, vice president Darwin R James, president of the Hughes League, addressed the meeting. Besides this expression there was held on Tuesday evening a big mass meeting under the auspices of the 4th Congressional Colored Republican League and the following committee of citizens: 6th Congressional District, R. E. Waddell, president; 1st Assembly District Colored Republican Club, Dr. F M Jacobs, John D Nixon and J P Lee, 4th Congressional District, B F Eylans and R Bullot. The object of the meeting was to discuss the Presidential situation and the discharge of the colored soldiers at Brownsville. The following speakers were present: Hon' George E. Waldo, Brigadier General Andrew C. Burt, who commanded the colored regiment, 24th Infantry, U. S. A., for 10 years, from which three companies were discharged; Rey, M. W. Gilbert, D. D., Ph. D., of New York; ex-School Commissioner Samuel R. Scottron, ex-Senator David F. Davis, Dr. F. M. Jacobs, Hon. John Hahn, James C. Spurgeon, ex-consult to Liberia, and Dr. Owen M. Waller.

There are certain times in my life when I experience a thrill of pleasure and feel proud that I am identified with the Negro race, and such occasions are allways superinduced by something merterious I have seen a member or members of the race do. If all the colored patroule were inspired and was the writer who were inspired and was the writer who show they will arrive the harder, to succeed in their particular avenue of endeavor. I went to the Majestic Theatre the other evening with a head full of ideas that I was present for the express purpose of looking at "Bandanna Land" with a critical eye, and then in the columns of The Art tear it into pieces from my standpoint of view. But before the finale of the first act the energy and personal magnetism displayed by George Walker, Bert Williams and the members of their company was so much in evidence that I forgot that I was on hand as a critic, and found myself enjoying the numbers of my race who insisted on making their presence known as well as themselves obnoxious to those seated near them by their unsuppressed laughter and merriment. F. Ray Countstock terms "Bandanna Land" a new creation in three acts. My definition of the new play is that it is the most artistic and successful piece the two comedians ever in. Void of any suggestions of low comedy, bubbling over with (unneful) music and bright lines, and host of all it contains some real old-time Negro sentiment—some thing I have been wanting to so colour show for—in the first act who Bert Williams produces an old-time Bible his mother has given years ago to keep, and George Walker looks at it and states that his mother also gave him one which he kept in his trunk, the sentiment was strictly Negro, and the thought occurred to me that in the colored contingent there were few whose mothers had not given them in early life just such a book to keep and read as had the mothers of the two stars; then, in another act when George Walker names the property in question "Bandanna Land," after a bandanna handkerchief which he sees and has recalled the days when his old mother wore just such a handkerchief there was disjointed another bit of sentiment that should have been appreciated by many in the house. I am glad to see that the day has come when our big actors have reached the point where it find it a pleasure to introduce in their shows some little character-hits that bring out strictly Negro traits and customs of which the race should feel justly proud. J. A. Shipp and Alex. Rogers are responsible for the book and the lyrics of the play, and their long association with Williams and Walker has served them in good stead, for they have furnished some situations, and the atmosphere they have created is enjoyable and particularly attractive to the eye. Will Mansion Cook has some himself proud this season and has enriched his reputation ```markdown ``` JESSE A. SHIPP of being the greatest Afro-American continent The song hit of the show is "Hon Ben Rubin," sung by George Walker at the end of the second act. Except after once it is taken on the song, who's more notable entertaining it, the grotesque dancing of Fort Williams, in all Manhattan, today there is not a musical comedy with such an effect. Next in popular music comes "His Heart Love You," sung when Somebody that Love You" sung by Asta Walker and the "Red Red Red" song by Abbie Mitchell Cook. These two performers are at the head of their respective classes and are great artists. One a singer possessing all the temperament, personality and quality of voice that contributes to the making of a successful singer of high class, songs and little pathetic ditties. The other a soubriette sound to mimic in the presence of whose dancing marks it, Guess No. 2. Both are in a class by themselves because they study and have not stopped as do some of our coloured female performers. Henry Troy, the hard-nosed man, is in good voice but his song does not seem to come up to expectations; in fact, "Just the Same" is not a "Consolation" or a "Mollie Green." Alex. Rogers and J. A. Shipp besides writing the show play the parts of Amos Simmons and More Blackstone, respectively; the former sings a song with chorus "Taint Gwine to be No Rain," which goes big with the audience. J. Leahra Hill contributes no small part to the success of the show by taking off the character of Sandy Turner, chairman of the corporation meeting. And lay the way, that corporation meet- THE FIRST WORLD WAR ling is an annot portrayal of some of our large colored meetings. I was pleased to note that Ada Gulgusmea has been allotted a speaking part, and a character one at that. We expect to hear great things of the sweet singer some day. Her hueband, Starling Rez, also showed himself, tp. an advantage. But to speak of the two stars they are right in their own sphere this season. Bert Williams is funnier than ever and successes in bringing down the house by just standing on the stage and looking at the audience, and his eccentric dancing, which is responsible for the public being burdened at various times by would-beimitator, always means encore after encore. But there is one thing I must say of the great comedian and that is, he should get himself another song. For the first time in years he is found without a first-class singing routine. "Late Hour" is a selection that makes him sing to do the most artistic work ever did in his life. he it does some real pantomiming. But "Late Hour" is not a "Nobody," or a "Let It Alone." Neither is "You to You Is You" a great number, and if it was not Bert Williams, the singer would frost in the first verse. We would like to see Mr. Williams get a new song at the earliest possible moment. George Walker is the same fashion-plate as of yore, and there is not a comedian on the stage who can play the dandy, and look. the part as well as he. His dancing and prancing is A1, and he works as if he enjoyed it as much as the spectators. G. Henry Tapley, Lloyd G. Gibbs, who sings a solo; L. H. Saulshurry, J. P. Heed, Arthur Payne, George Coutlin, Jas. E. Lightfoot, Mord Allen, R. Henri Strange, Charles H. Moore, Matt Housity, Lavinia Rogers, Hattie McLennon, Bertha Clark, Maggie Davis, Ida Day, Bessie Brady, Marguerite Ward, Katie Jones and Ada Vaughan are members of the cast and are among those who deserve mention. The "Merry Widow" is the musical hit of New York just now and I have wended my way to the New Amsterdam Theatre twice to hear the comic opera. Its music is very, very tuneful and the "Merry Widow Waltz" is the hit of the show. But the "Merry Widow" has no such chorus as "Bandanna Land." Its ensemble numbers are not superior to the New Amsterdam Theatre and we see the two principals dance the "Merry Widow Waltz" and then attend the Majestic # 1. 定义 定义：一个集合 $A$ 的元素集合，记为 $A = \{x\}$，其中 $x$ 是集合 $A$ 中的任意元素。 定义：一个集合 $B$ 的元素集合，记为 $B = \{y\}$，其中 $y$ 是集合 $B$ 中的任意元素。 定义：一个集合 $C$ 的元素集合，记为 $C = \{z\}$，其中 $z$ 是集合 $C$ 中的任意元素。 定义：一个集合 $D$ 的元素集合，记为 $D = \{w\}$，其中 $w$ 是集合 $D$ 中的任意元素。 Theatre and see Aida Overton Walker and her husband dance the same waltz, if you are fair, you will say that the colored performers' have Miss Jackson and her partner "skiuned a mile" (parad slang). "Bandana Land" is not a good show; it is a great show. The most artistic thing that colored performers ever put on the stage, and yet, stay within the proper atmosphere. All should see it. I would like to see it remain at the Majestic for a long run. SOUTH HAS THEATRE CIRCUIT NEW ORLEANS, February 4. Just what the "New South" is doing along the theatrical lines can be readily understood when announcement was recently made by Lew Hall, manager of the Auditorium Theatre, this city, that a chain of theatres has just been completed in the South, comprising the following cities: New Orleans, Memphis, Tennessee; Atlanta, Ga.; Yazoo City, Miss.; Baton Rouge, La.; Knoxville, Teen., and Plainman, La. According to Mr. Hall, seven colored theatres have already been constructed with colored capital and plains are drawn for several other playhouses. In the letter to Mr. Hall writes: "Song you will see in the South colored theatres playing colored opera houses to colored audiences. Last week the Dandy Dixie Minstrels played in New Orleans for the second time this season. "On the first occasion they played at the colored house to a big business; the next time they played at the finest white theatre in the city and the lower floor was reserved for the whites and the balcony for the colored. The consequences were that the minstrels did not do so well the second time, as the hater class of colored people had seen them in the orchestra circle in a colored theatre and did not relish the idea of going to use the second floor at the white playhouse. As these men stayed away." W. A. Mahara's Minstrel Company is making in New Orleans this week. It is the show's second engagement there this season. Knox Theatrical Troun It is announced that the Theatre Trust will present at the Shubert Theatre a troupe composed of Negro actors. The purpose of the trust not being known that parte f the affair needs the mention. But effect is frequently widely separated from purpose and the effect of the SUPPLEMENT TO THE NEW YORK AGE: FEBRUARY 6, 1908 appearance of the troops will be ill. This section, after long travail, has settled after a manner the race question, and both whites and blacks of intelligence desire that the question be not unduly agitated. There are many halls in this city in which Negro actors may appear before audiences of their own race, and there is no occasion to take such troupes to places of amusement supported by whites. This is not a narrow view of the matter but, on the contrary, one at once broad and public-spirited. When a question has been arranged harmoniously, even though the arrangement was made in travail and suffering, there is no good in reopening it. Racial wounds have been healed and both races in the South will oppose reading of gashes still green. BERE. A. WI The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or heavily pixelated area with no discernible content. Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. BERT A. WILLIAMS WILLIAMS & WALKER GLEE CLUB If in other sections such things are regarded lightly, let such troupes appear in white theatres. But a different view is taken here and the innovation is not to be justified by intelligent persons, white or black. The line of cleavage has been drawn, and it is not to be counted by any such disdavised move as that proposed. The appearance of this troupe will injure the law adding of both races, and it will injure the theatre in which the performance is given. The World, therefore, asks of Messes, Klaw & Erlanger and their local representatives. Wherefore? "There'll be a Hot Time in the Old Town To Light," that heart-stirring old song that inspired the soldiers at San Juan, San Juan and Manila has been dedicated by President Roosevelt upon why of being considered "a battle song of the nation's history" because it is ragtime. So the head of the Congressional Library will not class the song with Yankee, Dodder, The Star Spangled Banner, The War of the World, and The Battle Hammond of the Republic, written will be collected and put away in the archives of the Congressional Library with honors. GEORGE WALKER NOT THE ONLY IT George Walker, of Wilmington & Walker, is not the only colored stage celebrity by the name of Walker, according to the Brooklyn Eagle. In England there is a colored comedian and dancer by that name who has gained quite a reputation, and the remarkable feature about this Walker on the other side is that he is blind. In mentioning the blind comedian the Brooklyn Eagle says: "In an English music ball there is a blind dancer and comedian, whose affection was known to no one for eighton- months. Walker is his name. His wife appears with him. Walker, who is a Negro, always danced. He made a reputation for dancing in two hemispheres. The man was a trained, in the heyday of his prosperity, all the light, and as it seemed to him, all the dancing of his life were suddenly shut out. Atrophy the optic nerve blinded him almost instantly. But in the darkness that encompassed him so suddenly he wrestled with himself, and in spite of his blindness he had the cour PRESIDENT BARS RAGTIME are, the authority, to determine to go on leading "fanny." "He had engagements at several music halls in London, but thinking that no manager would engage him if he knew the secret of his blindness he made up his mind not to give it away, and he did not, in fact, tell his wife until crossing the street to the mall for England. While on the voyage he found his way by keeping close to her and touching her elbow with his, and when he blundered into people he made a joke of it. "There was nothing to show that he was blind. His eyes had the look of ordinary eyes, and his smile was as ready as ever. When after his arrival in England he went to the Brixton Music Hall, and without any practice gave his usual turn. He walked quite naturally to the stage." WILLIAMS by the side of his wife, and damned elaborate dance dances and cake-walks without a mistake. The second part of the turn was with his wife, and here again he accomplished the teat of dancing and singing and talking humorous dialogue without anyone in the audience knowing he was blind. It was only at the end of eighteen months he told the manager of a music hall that he was blind. In his simplicity he had never thought that as a blind comedian he was worth more money. "The result is that Walker now appears frankly as blind. But no one in the audience can detect it." CONTROVERSY OVER MINSTRELS New Orleans, Feb. 4. The playing last week of the Dandy Dive Minstrels at the Shubert Theatre, the finest playhouse in New Orleans, created no little comment among both the white and the colored citizens. The controversy railed the never-heart stage, and the newsmen many of the colored citizens asserted that the Dandy Dive Minstrels should play a return engagement at the colored theatre where it did a large business earlier in the season, as the "color Line" is drawn at the Shubert Theatre in the orchard circle. Equally demonstrative were some of the whites, who declare that a colored couple had no right to play in the finest theatre in New Orleans. Regardless of the discussion the minstrels opened at the Shubert Theatre, were they remained all work. The New Orleans World printed the following editorial shortly before the Dixie Minstrels came to the "Crescent" city. "OYSTER MAN" CLOSED FOR SEASON The announcement made by Hurtig & Seamon last week that they would disband the "Oyster Man" Company, owing to their inability to secure future looking without the presence of Emmett Hogan in the cast, meant that nearly 50 people were thrown out of work in the dead of winter, and the cancelling of looking in "such cities as Baltimore, Brooklyn, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, New City, Indianapolis, Chicago and Los Angeles. A number of these cities are considered "Hogan towns" and many of the "Unleashed American" patrons were looking forward to his anual visit with joyous anticipation. t has been definitely settled that there will be no Hogan show the balance of the present theatrical season, as Mr. Hogan will remain in the mountains until June. Joseph Hogan Restituted. BUTLARK, Mam., Feb. 5—Brendan Hogan, who is uninsured of the Massachusetts State Simultaneous here, was baptised in the Roman, Catholic faith Sunday. This does not indicate that Mr. Hogan is in a serious condition. To the contrary, he is on the mend. He had been anticipating accepting the Catholic faith for some time. Shoe-Fly Regiment in St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 5—The "Shoo-Fly Regiment," with Oole and Johnson, opened here Sunday under entirely different conditions than last season; and the two large houses that greeted the song-writers were encouraging. Last season the company was booked for the Imperial Theatre, where they were compelled to do "two a day." They are at the Grand Opera House this week where Williams and Walker and Ernest Hogan make their annual visits. With hard luck and compelled to play at an inferior house. Cole and Johnson were given their place in the show, the known among the theatrical people, so far as making money is concerned—holy week—when most of the shows lay off. With life and ginger, the company hit the "Mound City" this week, and they have made themselves well-liked by the local theatre-goers. Black Pattl in Missouri and Kansas St. Joseph, Mo. Feb. 4—Black Pattl, with Comedian Whitney and her troubles, played there Monday night and went "blar." The company is doing one-nightly this week, playing the following cities: St. Joseph, Mo. Feb. 4; Leavenworth, Kan. Feb. 5; Topeka, Kan. Feb. 6; Clinton, Mo. Feb. 7; Springfield, Mo. Feb. S. DUNLEY AT AMERICAN THEATRE THE AGE is in receipt of a wire from AL. T. Holstein, business manager of the Smart Set Company, announcing that S. H. Dudley, who is appearing in the company as the "Black Politician," will play a week's engagement at the American Theatre the week of March 30. Such news was received with pleasure, as it will mark the first appearance of Mr. Dudley in a Manhattan theatre of any size. The Smart Set Company is dividing up its time this week in South Chicago, South Bend, Ind., and Adrian, Mich., closing the week at the last-named place. The "Chicken Trust" Out Again. The "Chicken Trust" Company, with John Bailey as star, has left New York a second time within a few weeks to try its fate as a one-night stand show. In Fall River, Mass., less than a month ago THE NEW YORKER the company was brought to New York owing to bad management. Under the direction of the proprietor of the Sans Sonje Music Hall, located at Third avenue and 17th street, the show opened Monday in Coutteville, Pa. A ALEX. ROGERS There are 25 people in the company, and the chorus is numerically small; left it is perhaps the best small one-night show, showcases that ever left Manhattan.

EXCITING DAYS IN OKLAHOMA The Kanaas City Star Editorially on Lynching and the Hearryst Aflair. Lyneching and the Henryotta Affair. LANGSTON, Okla., Feb. 1.—These are the exciting and spectacular days of Oklahoma. The steering of the craft of State through the shoals and reefs of experimentation and graft and the storm of political intrigue and aggrandizement and lawlessness, born of prejudice, into the calm and open sea of orderly government and peace which rest upon wise and just laws and impartial and high-minded administration thereof, is proving to be a difficult task for those in the reefing.

These supplementary reports have been valuable merely for their suggestiveness. First, the consciousness of guilt on the part of certain white communities for their treatment of Negro citizens inspires the dread alarms of vengeance resulting in whole communities experiencing the fears, the tremblings and the craven imagination of the red-fanded murderer who momentarily expects just punishment to overtake him. What a reign of terror the future stores up for communities that override law, that shed the blood of the innocents, that engender hate and sow the seed of retribution!

The answer is a matter of record, and wise and happy is the community that reads it early. Secondly, it is possible for communities which outrage and despoil Negro citizens to have their crimes justified by the deliberate manufacture of fancied A Modern Mit
