REV. JOHN W. JOHNSON SPEAKS AT GRACE CHURCH Preaches Special Sermon at Annual Service for Work Among Colored People Rev. Isaac Adams, of Persia, delivers an interesting Address at the Y. M. C. A.—A Week of Entertainments: The Phyllis Wheatly Fluffy Ruffles, The Palestine Whist Club, and Iamthia Wheelmen Give Elaborate Affairs—An Elevator Man Killed—Sprinter Taylor Wirs. At Grace Church, Broadway and 10th streets, there took place last Sunday a most unusual but significant occurrence. This congregation, one of the wealthiest and most influential in the United States, made its annual offering for the support of work among colored people of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Contrary to all precedent, but in a spirit of sweet Christian unity and in recognition of the splendid work which the Rev. John W. Johnson has done on the upper west side the Rev. Dr. William R. Huntington, who in more ways than one has shown himself a true friend of the colored people, invited the Rev. Mr. Johnson to be the special preacher upon this occasion. Accepting the invitation, the Rev. Mr. Johnson chose as his text, St. Matt. 20: 14, and in the presence of an audience of more than 1,500 persons who completely filled the church, delivered a most excellent sermon that was listened to with marked attention and that will doubtless increase the interest of New York churchmen in work among the colored people. Paul Baptist Church, and Rev. N. A. Mackey, who brought sunshine to the children. The B. Y. P. U. is steadily growing under the leadership of Miss Ferguson. Sister L. Robinson, of the missionary hand, gave the young people a strong, helpful talk, which was appreciated. Bro. J. E. Yates, clerk of the church, opened the topic for the evening. sub- At St. Cyprian's last Sunday morning there was a large congregation to hear the preacher, Rev. Eloarda Howard, who preached a stirring and most helpful sermon. The services were relevant and the music inspiring. At the evening service the vicar, the Rev. J. W. Johnson, preached from Jeremiah 5:30-31. The congregation of St. Cyprian's expect to enter their new house of worship about Easter weekday. Services are held on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., after which the pastor gives an instruction to those looking forward to confirmation. On Feb. 21st and March 3d, respectively, pre-Lenten entertainments will be given for the benefit of the church building fund. The first entertainment will be given under the auspices of the Dramatic Center, Y. M. C. A., and is a drama entitled "Freezing One's Mother-in-Law." The other, on March 3d, is a musical drama given by certain young people of several Episcopal churches in Manhattan. St. James' Industrial Fair. The second annual industrial exhibition of St. James Presbyterian Church opened on Tuesday evening with a Japanese tea and reception. Mr. W. Harvey, assisted by Mrs. Harvey, represented the royal family of Japan. The program consisted of solos, recitations and choruses.

Kingo, of Kan Pin, and her boy ushers wete on hand. Wednesday evening, coporation night, different business men of the city took part in the program, their addresses and talks, illustrated with a stereopticon machine, added much to the interest of the evening.

Butler preached an inspiring sermon to a large congregation, taking as his text, "The Call of Judgment." Deut. 30; 29. At the evening service upon request of several members he repeated his sermon of three weeks ago on the "Unpardonable Sun." The former sermon has caused large comment among the members and a diversity of opinion. The Sunday school was largely attended, also other devotional exercises. Evangelist Mackey at Union Church. The three services held in Union Baptist Church were well attended all day. The Rev. N. A. Mackey, the great evangelist, was present and preached all day. His subject at the morning service was "The stirring of the church." Event 22: 11. He did not fail to stir the church by the masterly manner in which he treated the subject. In his preface to the sermon he stated that this church was the cosmopolitan church of the North and that no Baptist church this side of Heaven has grown so fast as this one, with its record of two church buildings and 1,200 members. His reason for its phenomenal growth was its great leader and its great people holding up the hands of their leader for the advancement of the cause of Christ. His text for the afternoon service was "Gathering the Children," and he treated it in Christine masterly way. The summer school was well attended — my collection was $12.13 and there were several items taken by them Mrs. Smith, of St. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

A meeting was especially interesting last Sunday. The speaker was Rev. Isaac Adams, of Persia, who spoke on "Persia and Its Inhabitants." He was picturesquely attired in high class. Mohammedan costume. He first explained the religion of the Zoroastrians, or Fire worshippers! He said: They believe this fire was brought from temples, with spice and sandal wood. They believe this fire was brought from Heaven by Zoroaster, and they give it human sacrifices, believing that the AN APHO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20. 1908 THE JOINT COUNCIL OF BISHOPS, IN SESSION AT WASHINGTON, D. C. earthly deeds of the victim will send him to Paradise or destruction. So Zoroastrianism is a religion of works. There are also the devil-worshippers, who regard satan as we do. Christ—as the world's master. God rules heavens, the devil rules the earth. It is therefore criminal to spit on the earth. These worshippers are Kurds, the most savage people on earth. They measure a man by the number of men he has murdered. "The State religion of Persia is Mohammedanism. It commands priests to educate boys, but girls must remain in ignorance. It promises a carnal heaven, with palaces, feasts and hours, to be earned by asceticism and self-flagellation on here on earth. Anyone who dies a certain time in the year goes to heaven. As a result there are many suicides at that time of the year. All these rules apply to men only; the women don't count; they have no souls; they are only machines of labor. Notwithstanding these severe customs, however, Mohammedanism has 216,000,000 followers." Rev. Adams, after reciting the Lord's Prayer and some poetry in Chaldean and Persian tongues, said that Christianity was the best religion because it was a religion of love, and the great Eastern religions are full of bloodshed.

Lyee, formerly of New York and Boston; Dr. Mason, financial secretary of Livingston College, and Rev. John Dickerson, of Jacksonville, Fla. In the evening Rev. Ranson preached to the Knights of Pythias. He said that "such organizations are conservators of frater- nity. They carry out Christ's idea of peace. 'Oh how good it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.' Christ emphasized the need and benefit of perfect brotherhood. Such organizations as the Knights of Pythias put Christ's precept into practical effect.' The Palatine Reception. The Palestine Whist Club, a social organization of ladies and gentlemen of Manhattan, gave the third of their annual receptions at Murray Hill Lyceum, on Friday evening, February 14, and easily eclipsed from every point of view their former attempts. This second annual full dress ball was an event of beauty; the ladies appeared in gowns of exquisite design and beauty, and the gentlemen were at their best. It would prove an endless task to describe all the many striking costumes that contributed to the brilliancy of the scene. The goddess of fashion was certainly in control. An opinion voiced by many present was that the most beautiful gown was worn by Miss Christine Egbert. Her dress was a beautifully wrought creation of white net and Pannie velvet, trimmed with point Venice lace, embroidered in gold. The music was by the New Amsterdam Orchestra and was greatly enjoyed.

HARR FOURTH ROW: R. S. WILLIAMS, G. W. CLINTON ```markdown ``` The Phallia Wheatley Club The Phyllis Wheatly Club, composed of members of the Y W C A, gave a very original "Fluffy Ruffles" concert last Friday evening at American Theatre Hall. The program included some of the best talent of New York. The first singer was Mrs Ida B. Clay, who rendered effectively a lively song. Minnie Prima D. Lyon Leonard followed her and was fondly applauded before she materialized a meg. She soon proved her right to the sobriquet, "The Floral Nightingale," and worthily added an other hit to her already brilliant reputation as one of New York's top ten singers. The best striking event was Mickey's impersonation of Anna Field in three gestures and voice he portrayed better than many women would have done. After singing the Carrissan Model I song, "I Just Can't Make My Eyes Believe," he changed costume and imitated Anna in Mantelea dance. Many in the crowd thought him a real woman unintended, a splendid wig off, and a cool of the characters in a mime voice. The next feature was the presentation of a drama, "The Opal King," written by Mrs. Francis M. Keyser, of the White Rose Mission. It was a nice little play and was well acted. The part of the drama was played by Miss Eva D. Timpson. It cast included Mrs. Arangita A. Holshon, Mrs. King, Mrs. Irine Muller, Anna Miller, Berthea Miles, Edna Jackson, Beatrice Cark, Cora Hayes, Missrs. William Brown, Charle's Strong, Lewis Hicks, Jenkins and Whitaker. The concert was followed by a lively dance. The dance was stopped for two minutes to give the ladies a chance to parade their tuffy ruffles. The three judges applauded finally decided that the best "Tuffy Ruffles" on the floor was Mrs. John Timpson and the next best, Miss Fistle Payton. (Continued on page 8.) The Hughes Republican League Hold Big Meeting at Young Men's Republican Club Commemorating Birthdays of Lincoln and Douglass—Brilliant Addresses Given at Y. M. C. A. by Ladies—Presidential Candidates Endorsed, but not Harmoniously. A meeting of unusual interest was that which was held last Wednesday afternoon at the Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A., under the auspices of the Equal Suffrage League, celebrating jointly the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The meeting, which was largely attended, was called to order by the president, Dr. V. Morton Jones. Mrs. L. C. Smith, the secretary, recorded. After the routine business of the League was transacted, the program for had known and experienced the tortures of slavery. We must teach the rising generations to seek out the good qualities in a person's life and not always search for the flaws or bad qualities." Miss Bailey gave a soprano solo, after which Mrs. S. J.

J. COPPIN, ABRAM GRANT, TON, ELIAS COTTRELL. the occasion was given. In introducing the subject, Dr. Jones said: "Douglass spent all of his life after his escape from slavery in trying to liberate his fellow man. He was an ideal race man. With Lincoln I believe the emancipation of the slaves was a war measure. He did not spend all of his time trying to emancipate the slaves as did Douglass. Had the South sworn allegiance to the Union and laid down their arms, there would probably have been a gradual emancipation." Mrs. S. J. S. Garnell said that after the Southern Confederacy had returned to the Union Lincoln emancipated the slaves just the same, because he had said with or without them he would free the slaves and he did. Miss Eate and Payne spoke along the same line as did Mrs. Garnett. Mrs. M. C. Lawton said she believed Abraham Lincoln was the instrument through which God wrought the emancipation of the slaves, and that the real credit was the Garrett, Phillips, Lovejoy, and others who had molded and shaped the sentiment at great odds and sacrifice against the institution of slavery and its cruelties. At this juncture Dr. L. J. Delarte redesigned effectively a baritone solo. Mrs. Gordon's Address. Mrs. Mary Gordon, matron of the Howard Orphan Asylum, gave a splendid talk on the lives of the two great statesmen. She said among other things, "I am glad to see that our people are recognizing worth and what it takes to make history. We all know of the time in which these men lived, and the strenuous efforts they put forth in behalf of the cause of freedom. I believe Lincoln was a broad and conservative man and was bitterly opposed to slavery. The foremost thing in Lincoln's mind was the salvation of the Union. He was opposed to slavery entering the territories, and wherever he could hit slavery a blow he did. He was a great instrument in God's hands. Douglass labored as Lincoln could not, because he PRICE, 5 CENTS had known and experienced the tortures of slavery. We must teach the rising generations to seek out the good qualities in a person's life and not always search for the flaws or bad qualities." Miss Bailey gave a soprano solo, after which Mrs. S. J. S. Garnett, national organizer of the Equal Suffrage League, asked for the appointment of a committee to draw up a petition and obtain signatures to present to the Congressmen of Brooklyn urging them to use their influence in bringing about such necessary enactment as will enforce the Fifteenth Amendment. The committee is as follows: Mrs. S. J. S. Garnett, Mrs. L. C. Smith and Miss Eato. Mrs. L. C. Smith read an original letter from Doughlass which was written on the twentieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. Hughes League Meeting. Hughes League Meeting. A large number of colored citizens and voters from the different assembly districts of Kings county assembled last Thursday evening in the assembly rooms of the Young Men's Republican Club of Brooklyn. The meeting was given under the auspices of the Hughes Colored Republican League, of which Frank H. Gilbert is president and W. Preston Moore secretary. Speeches were made by a number of representative colored Republicans. The speakers contrasted the attitude of Secretary Taft and Governor Hughes upon the question, of equality of all citizens before the law. They charged the Secretary with condoning the disfranchisement of the colored citizens of the South and the violation of their constitutional rights. One speaker said: "As a loyal Republican I should deplore the fact if the thousands of colored voters took Secretary Taft's advice as he stated in a speech in Alabama, in which he said they will be better off if they divide their Resolutions Adopted. The meeting adopted a strong set of resolutions, of which the following is a part: "Representing the sentiment of the vast colored electorate of the country, we would deplore the selection of territory Taft as Republican nominee, because aside from his participation in the Brownsville incident, he of all the candidates named thus far on the Republican side is the only one who has apologized for the great war amendments to the constitution that represents the high water mark of Republican statemanship, as he did in his Greensboro, S. C., speech, condoning the disfranchisement of black American citizens. "That we heartily endorse for the Republican nomination for the Presidency Hon. Charles E. Hughes, who by his fearless enforcement of the law, his broad statesmanship and lofty conception of public duty, has impressed itself upon the brain and conscience of the country as the typical representative of the best thought of the day and the most advanced standards of our advancing civilization." W. R. Lawton writes interestingly of the political leaders of Kings county and their promises. He says: "While there is no excuse for local political leader not keeping their promises to their colored constituents it is a fact that when the positions to be distributed are not enough to satisfy the demand, only those who keep up a strong and constant pressure are rewarded. The fellows who punch hardest and keep it up hardly ever fail to get consideration. Instead of sticking and increasing the pressure they have let up, forgetting their real local interests and going pell mell into national politics. "As citizens it is their duty to be as interested in national as well as local politics, but there is more to lose locally, just now, than can be gained by running after national phantoms. "As to national politics, everything is bazy and in the air, and the best thing they can do is to get together, watch their opportunity, and cast a unit vote in their interest: to be delegates, alternates from Congressional districts, in which their vote is a factor, to the national convention, and see that men are expected to represent the district in the next Congress who will show in a substantial way their interest in their colored constituents. There is nothing of importance as to national politics they can do now but to unify their vote. Much can be gained by showing the local machine that they must make good. It is of us to press and the machine will only yield when it is applied strong and long enough." The Garnett Club's Hangout. The most elaborate testimonial in commemoration of Lincoln's birthday was the dinner given last Wednesday evening by the Garnett Club at the clubhouse, 388 Bridge street. The parlorers were tastefully decorated with the American flag, while a life size picture of the great emancipator was conspicuously displayed. Resolutions endorsing the candidacy of Governor Hughes for the Presidential nomination were presented, but on account of divided sentiment were not approved. Covers were laid for seventy-five and a most splendid menu served by Caterc Trice. John H. Dickerson was toast master. The following is a list of the speakers and their subjects: Augustus Hodges, "Our Journalists"; Frank H. Gilbert, "Our Business Men;" Teemey's Dancing Academy. For too many (even there) have existed in this city an institution contributing very greatly to the enjoyment of pleasure-seekers and those who indulge very much in harmless amusements. We have in mind Toomey's school, the Lexington Market, Mr. L. E. Toomey, the popular dancer master and music teacher, so generally and well-known throughout the city, is the proprietor and organizer of the Dancing School in the young man of high ideals, tolerating nothing cheap or vulgar in his professional work. The institution in patronised by many of the very best citizens of Baltimore, in fact, none but persons of high standing. There are about four or five classes altogether. The adults, for the most part, assemble in the evenings, there being classes on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and Thursday afternoon class is composed of the roamer people, in their teens. On Thursday of last week Prof. Toomer, provided a special invitation to the parents of the children who compose that particular piece of that afternoon. To one not particularly interested in dancing, it was specially pleasing to witness the order and most excellent decorum which characterised these young people in their movements and contact one with the other, more than once, and we greatly enjoyed it, although we can not dance, and don't want to learn how. Since an increasing number of our young people will dance, it must be a sincere pleasure to all kindly disposed people, in knowing that we can provide for instruction as that presided over by Prof. Toomer, elevating and refining in its influences. A State Normal School. A bill was recently introduced in the State Legislature looking toward the establishment of a State Normal School near Baltimore for the training of colored teachers. The bill offered makeshift instruction in the school, although it for buildings, rather for a beginning in that direction, and also a regular annuity toward its maintenance. Up to the present time there has been maintained a "State Normal School" for the school, but it has been under the auspices of a few prominent white individuals rather than a state institution proper. While it is about the oldest school of its kind in the state, its work has not been anything more than a training school. Hence the present effort, practically, to transfer it to the state, and by the introduction of other elements and ideas, to realize the highest possibilities of such an institution. It is hardly necessary for us to hold such an institution, and that it will be decided by a good thing. Rev. Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg, Jr. rector of St. James's Church, has been invited to preach a special sermon on the first Sunday evening in March in St. Augustine's Church, Atlantic City, N. J. At that time the church in Atlantic City celebrates its seventh anniversary as a church, as well as the seventh anniversary of the Rev. James N. Beaver, its present rector, who organized the congregation. The Rev. Dr. Bragg was much concerned and had a great deal to do with the initiary work leading to the starting of a colored Episcopal Church in Atlantic City. It was at his suggestion and recommendation that the Rev. Mr. Deaver was procured to incite the work, which has resulted in a real strong, self-sustaining parish in the short period of seven years. Rev. I. W. L. Thomas, a former pastor of Sharp Street Memorial Church, this city, but now field secretary of the educational board of the Episcopal Church, is in the city after an absence and serious sickness during that absence. However, he is beginning to feel that he is his former self again. Mr. John Tivey, vice president of Mr. Alexander, passee of Sharon Baptist Church, who has been in declining health for some time, departed this life on last Tuesday. His funeral took place on last Thursday from the church at Park avenue. Mr. Alexander was a printer by trade, coming here from Richmond, Va., a number of years ago. Some years back he was one of the editors and proprietor of the newspaper and had at diverse ages been in some way connected with press.

The memorial is to help the home of the late Mary Barbara Welch, and the family of the late Friendless Ousted Children, on David Hill avenue, and a very full meeting last week and presented the home with a competition to win a prize. The women in the building. Quite a number of new names have been added to the roll of the auxiliary, and the women are very enthusiastic with respect to future proposals in the line of their There was held a very interesting and inspiring meeting on last Sunday afternoon in the public space of Church. It was the special meeting for the Y. M. C. A., and the Rev. Dr. Wilber P. Thirkield, president, held the speaker. The mere statement of the fact that Dr. Thirkield was the speaker is in itself indicative of a great and most helpful effort. He generously supported Rev. George L. Staley passed to his rest. Dr. Staley was specially loved by the colored people of this city, for he was the founder of the days which tried men's souls, he was the ever constant and firm friend of Negro education. We do not except colored men, when we assess them, but we refer to the high school kept so constantly and sympathetically in touch with the colored pastors of this city as our late friend and son. He had all of love, and his labors were most fruitful on behalf of the race. A few years ago, when the public school system was reorganized from a front office work. At his death he had attained the good old age of 84. NATIONAL AND LOCAL POLITICS DISCUSSED (Continued from page 1) Colonel Charles E. Diggs, "Organization and Unity," E. M.

P., He Declares, If Party Falls to Give Square Deal to Colored Voters of Maryland. Attorney General Bonaparte was at his city home, Park avenue and Centre street, Sunday. He said he regretted his inability to attend the meeting in memory of the late Rev. Dr. D. J. Staf- ford, but he had been kept so continuously basy in Washington during the week that he was compelled to make engagements for Sunday in Baltimore. "At best," he said, "I can attend but unsatisfactorily to my private business and home duties as matters stand now, but next year I may have more time to give to Baltimore and such matters of public interest as, for example, the suffrage, or rather, anti-suffrage -am-nd-men." "Mr. Bonaparte," he was asked, "do you not think it would be a good thing for Maryland to have the eternal Negro question settled once and for all?" "An excellent thing," replied the Attorney General, "but this amendment wouldn't settle it. There are questions which are never settled until they are answered. One of them. A settlement which involves disloyalty to the Constitution and trifling with the sanctity of others is, to my mind, quite sure to prove no settlement at all." "That suggestion" said he at the Attorney General, "seems to me about equivalent to saying Cain wasn't a murderer because he was never indicted by a grand jury, convicted by a petit jury or sentenced by a human judge. The Constitution says Negroes shall not be denied the suffrage because they are Negroes, and this is precisely what this amendment is intended to do." "But, Mr. Bonaparte, it is not because they are Negroes, but because they are ignorant and venal that they should be disfranchised." Then, answered Mr. Bonaparte, "Let those good citizens advocate the disfranchisement ignorant and venal white men also and will believe them a less sincere. If a man sells his vote or doesnt know how to cast it for the public good, the color of his skin or the fact that his grandfather either had a vote or hadnt can make no possible difference." Do you think the amendment would, in fact, eliminate an undesirable element from your two great parties? Would not the Republicans probably gain white votes if the great bulk of the Negroes were no longer voters? "I fail to see." replied the Attorney-General, "any change for the better, or, indeed, any change at all, which its adoption would make in the composition, the party to be elected, the party in Maryland. As for the Republican party, the question, to my mind, is not whether it may gain a few votes here or lose many votes there. It demands, and always has demanded, the same square deal for the black man which it asks, and when it no longer demands this I, at least, shall be no longer a Republican." THE ORIENTALS' RECEPTION.

DONNELLY, J 354 Broadway, corner of 131 feb 20-3m As the Chief Pastor of the A. M. E. A. M. E. Zion and C. M. E. Churches, assembled in the City of Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America, we send our sincere apologies is particular and/ the race in general. We, first of all, desire to render thanks to Almighty God for having preserved us in the midst of racial opposition for about 800 years, and to the fact that we have been enabled to achieve. We congratulate the race upon the religious, moral, intellectual and financial advancement that has been made, in spite of great difficulties and felicitas course in the church, in progress in the churches, our schools, our numerous homes and other institutions. We are thankful to the friends, North, South, East and West, who have aided us in stage of advancement. We congratulate ourselves upon this great religious movement which has brought us together. One is reminded of the religious convocations over centuries, the early convocations of the Christian Church, councils in which Clement of Alexandria, Irenius, Jerome, Oregin, Cyprian, Augustine, Tertullian and the early fathers sat; great men, pious men; the great women; the great church of the Christian church, so far as its doctrine and its ecclesiastical policy was concerned. We, too, are shaping the destiny of the great American church which has been the most influential which the world has ever seen. America will only be the home of this great church, but Africa is to be the scene of its greatest operations. May, the good Lord help us to realize our responsibility and our duty to this future We hall with delight the tidal wave of temperance now sweeping over the country and feel assured that our own beneficiaries and promoters. We heartily commend all efforts being made to rid our common country of the run traffic, and we pledge this right of movement to urge our people to urge our people, especially those who are qualified to vote, to give the cause their united support until this evil is driven from the land. We are represented, we advise that in public and private places and in common carriers our people so deport themselves as becoming good citizens to the end that public interest may be created in our interest. Racial Matters. We are citizens of the United States under the supreme law of the land, entitled as much to equality of civil and political rights as to the right to the law. We have therefore, rights, sacred rights under the constitution of our common country, such as the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The same, no matter what the law may be, must be a voice in the government, state and national, externally as other citizens enjoy. We do not ask at your hands any questions to this Christian nation in nothing to which we are not entitled under the law and constitution. We ask only for, that which belongs to us as right, for justice, for equality of freedom of action and the industrial life of the land, North and South alike. We ask for fair treatment, that we may, like other races, make the most and best of ourselves; that we may rise or fall on our merit like other men in the political and industrial life of the Republic. We cannot do this unless we and our children are given equal opportunity with other people to get an education at the public expense, unless we are given equal chance to obtain work with all other laboring classes in the industrial system of the nation. These things are only necessary to the best good of our common country as well; for be it forever born in mind by all, white and black alike, that the freest and most intelligent labor is the most productive of all, that we are the family that a nation is in an industrial Republic; like ones, deprived of the right to vote or a voice in the government is at the mercy of other laboring classes which possess that right and that that which possess the mercy of all thus privileged. Now, locally as the race as a labor class, we the ballot, need education at the public expense, needs industrial opportunities to sell our labor freely like the labor of the business in the South. By one device or another it is almost universally deprived of the right to vote. In many cases our children are deprived privileges, and the whole race in the North and South is deprived of employment to obtain work with other labor classes. We recall the fact that wherever this also turns that it is restricted within certain narrow limits by the "Color Line." It is "thus far" in the North, and "thus far" in the South. In the hours North and South alike. This Christian Republican not with safety look on with this state of affairs. The records—any Christian are opposed to the earn appraisal are told that we are denying in eve infant race. If true. then we should be treated as the stronger should treat the weaker, and the mother the infant. Indeed, the strong should bear the infirmities of the weaker. We appeal to the friends of humanity to use their influence to rid this glorious country of mob violence, which is sending so many to an untimely grave. We appeal to all who believe in fair play to maintain our land's progeny and convict labor systems, which are degrading and destroying the very vertue of manhood and relegating them to the most galling serfdom. We appeal to the liberty-loving men in authority to lend us their assistance by influence, by legislation for the removal of the "Jim Crow" car laws, which have placed a stipulation upon the noblest and most unjustifiable of the church to the humblest, while at the same time we are required to pay the same fare for inferior accommodation. We appeal to the judges of the Supreme Court to annual laws in violation of the Federal Constitution, to members of the several Southern States where disfranchisement laws have been enacted, and to the Congress of the United States to repeal the amendments where disfranchisement laws have been enacted to us by the Federal Constitution, which were gained upon the field of conquest by blood shed by black men as well as white men. We appeal to the people, we finally appeal for all the rights guaranteed to the citizens of this great Republic. Sigred-Bishop J. W. Hood, Bishop T. H. Lomax, Bishop C. R. Harris, Bishop K. S.

Church, presiding and the work of the session was entered into immediately after devotional exercises had been concluded. Bishops B. E. Lee, of the A. M. E. Church; Alexander Walters, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, and C. H. Phillips, DR. E. W. LAMPTON of the C. M. E. Church, were appointed as secretaries. The college showed the following bishops present at the opening: A. M. E. H. M. Turner, Wesley J. Gaines, B. T. Tanner, Albram Grant, R. L. Lee, M. Sattler, H. D. Dierckel, Exeun Tyre, C. S. Smith, C. T. Shafen, Levi J. Coppin, A. M. E. Zion, J. W. Hood, C. R. Harris, A. Walters, G. W. Clinton, J. W. Alstork, J. W. Smith, J. Goldwell, L. E. H. Holsey, Landon R. S. Williams, Erin C. Gutrell, C. H. Phillips. The gathering of these consecrated men of Christ in one assembly presented a most inspiring spectacle, and the scene when Bishop Hopkins assisted by associate bishop, administered the Holy communion to the point notes, was not to be held more than over in time. The first convention was pre-sided over at this point by Dr. E. W. Langton, the energetic financial sector's copy of the A. M. E. Church, especially called by the side of the body because he demonstrated knowledge, the law and so to governing the which function and is the first minister of the several consistants, he so honored. In Lampton is a literary man of distinction, being the author of "An Analysis of Rapine," Lampton's Ingest" and other children, works. He is consolidated by the name of the most honest home of the Lord, hundred afield of the world's money, then, his other son in the country. In connection with Bishop Smith and Reorder, I. E. Banc of was the 40th-rd entender of the corner, and 90 of his activities was at his best until hospital meeting in the. His office was the head quarters of the convention, when not in actual session, and the conveniences then offered fully indicated the wisdom of the A. M. E. Church in purchasing so commendable a home in the nation's capital. Committees for Work. Committees were appointed as follows to consider the various phases of the work. Education. Bishops. Ginns.

During the afternoon Bishop Derrick, who has just returned from Africa, spoke informingly of the improved conditions in the Irish Continent since the arrival of the British. He travelled 1,000 miles into the interior, carrying the Message to the heathen, and it was encouraging to the last degree to poke the eagerness with which they listened. No longer is it difficult to believe that the Methodist Church in South Africa, and the next quadriminium promises phenomenal results in the upbuilding of the cause of Christ. Welcomed by the Nation's Capital Away at the special ordinance was the representation of the people of the Central was beauty and spontaneity. The meeting was presided over by Dr. E. W. Lampton, and his best speeches in an indifferent voice unimaginable. The speaker was "In union there is strength."

All of the speakers received ovations at the hands of the audience, and the session closed with a magnificent grand finale. Alexander Walker, augmented to 100 voices, under the direction of Prof. John T. Layton. On Tuesday evening the reception was continued, and elephant and apotropaic responses to the address of Alexander Walker, who spoke fiercely of the mission of the body to inspire in the race an intense determination to regain the boiler in the South where we have been robbed of our rights and subjugated to oppression. Alexander Walker, known the cognitively intelligent conservationist, recognized that politics had crept into a meeting which was held primarily to consider religious matters, but though these matters were powerful to stay the table of fooling cooked by the stories of the good women, and the others that were up at the crenation of the names of those involved in the masses as their true victim. Bishop Elise Cottle of Mississippi described the construction work that the Negroes are doing for theiratives down in its system, calling attention to the need for the representation tell which threatened to close the normal school at Holly Springs and turn out 200 ambitions students at the Negroes get together and purchased 100 acres land and hired 100 students. Now 400 students are being accommodated and the institution is on a better footing than ever before. He stated that there are down banks in the state of Mississippi and that it did not share the bitterness of some of his bothers against President Roosevelt. He felt that the President had been misled and that he had done so many wrongs that it had created an equitable adjustment of the Brownville matter would yet come. He stood for all the rights of his people, but wished to temper emotion with safety. Bishop Waller, and Bishop Grant, both of the Southern Baptist church, shamelessly discriminates, practiced against educated and retired colored people on the railroads of the South. Bishop Waller declared that the Negroes will support any party, regardless of many of the Southern Baptist churches. Other storing addresses were made by Bishop Essex Tynes, C. H Phillips and G. W. Clinton and by Rev. R. H. W. Leate of North Carolina all expressive of his views on the Negroes' method of obtaining the Negroes' reward for him onward and upward. Bishop Turner Preaches Self-Helpful press On Friday morning the trend of debate was made on the same tender of Thursday evening. Bishop Chishua, Chief Justice T. Jeffery, the Chief Justice and Tanner commanding the utterances of their associates on the questions involving human rights, saying that neither God nor man had any respect to aeward Bishop Turner and those signatories to the petition. He pressed with this outcome. It means everything good for the race. The key leadership of the people is concentrated here its spirit, its military courage and its spirit. The nation must not take any part in politics, but I am an American citizen, and I am delighted to see our people at last speaking out against political oppression so long dependent on God and I have no complaint to make but we are making God to do things that he has given its power to do for ourselves. When the American people have rightly earned the bishop said, "This is an ungrateful nation. We have been loyal to it since we landed in 1919. We have supported it in every conflict and have given our blood for it yet we have rightly earned. God will yet restore our wrongs with the law and justice." 500 Active., Reliable Agents at Liberal Commissions 10,000 Subscribers Negroes to advertise their business AGE PUBLISHING CO., m Square, New York azine and The Age $2.00 the year portments of 3 and 4 rooms at $8, 113, $15 per month near West End Avenue.

BRANIC, Superintendent. E Next Week The day was taken up in discussing basis for federation of the three churches and progress was made by the committee on charge of the several propositions. In the meeting Bohun Bohun presided over the public session, and on gratitude and pleasure over the prospect for peace unity. Among the speakers were Rev. H. J. Callis, of Boston, and Rev. L. E. Crouthers, pastor of Galenith A. M. E. Zoon Church, of this city. It was ordered that 10000 copies of the address be printed and circulated broadcast among members of Congress of state legislatures, to leaders of both sides in all sections of the country, to the officers of the federal government, to the President and the cabinet. During the session of the main body numerous subsidiary meetings were held, the results being along the same line. As this result the three conventions are deliberating on the basis of federation to be submitted to their general conventions, and it is thought that an amicable agreement will be reached. The bishops the masses have attended the three conventions and arrangements have made looking to making the tentative organization permanent, with the hope that the churches will see the benefit to be received from such a federation on the behalf of the national capital. In addition the bishops the masses and prominent ministers and lawmen of the three churches. Some of the candidates for responsible ties to be drawn out of the coming elections.

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to The New York Age Publishing Company. The Political Horizon The political skies are clearing, in spite of the apparent confusion. The defeat of Senator Foraker in Ohio so overwhelmingly by the Taft men-assures a solid delegation from Ohio for the Secretary of War, and prevents opposition candidates from further pointing to the Buckeye State as being debatable ground for the secretary. The declaration of both the Republican factions in this state in favor of Governor Hughes assures him of a solid delegation from the Empire State, and thus sends these two candidates out into the country to make such headway as they can in other states. Regard the contest from any angle you may, and you can arrive at but one conclusion, and that is the Presidential "conest now on in the Republican party is virtually between two men, Taft and Hughes. While Governor Hughes supporters are hopeful and mean to prosecise his cause with all possible vigor, they do not underestimate Taft's strength in the West, nor are they overlooking the fact that the West has got in the habit of dictating the Republican nominee, whether he hales from the West or East. Although Secretary Taft, with the all-powerful power, if not the active support of President Roosevelt to start with, and the great prestige his experience and his houndless, resourceful West gives him, represents a great vantage, yet the friends of the secretary are not underestimating New York's government's strength, and are proceeding on the assumption that he has a mighty influence behind him. The other "favorite sons," including Fairbanks, are practically without hope. In fact, it is very evident to the close student of political affairs, that already the movement is on foot, among these "favorite sons" to throw their strength, so far as they are able, to Hudson, and thus make him the nominee, if possible. However, the individual delegate is to be reckoned with, and the uninstructed delegates are to be reckoned with. The contest will be settled at Chicago, and which ever is nominated, he will receive the support of his party, and the Negro vote will be with the party. Purchasable Delegates Already the cry is going up that co-ordined delegates from the South will go to Chicago prepared to sell to the highest bidder, and that even now they are clamoring and receiving cash for votes to be delivered, just as they did in 1884 and in 1888. For the good of the race: Tur Aer hopes and trusts, that our Negro delegates will not sell for cash their votes. Do it this year, and you may depend upon it that you will not share in what ever patronage that may be disposed in your section after the "nominee is elected." Do it now, and you may depend upon it that the conditions prevailing in the South, so far as the political, moral and material welfare of the race is concerned in that section will not be an inviting object of assistance from men in power who may have the opportunity to render you aid. No matter which candidate you vote for, give that candidate your vote with out his counting you out tainted money. Nexico delegates of the South can afford to again be guilty of assuming the role of a purchasable quantity. Minister's Salary Taken as a whole, the minister of the Gospel is the poorest paid professional. Not only is he the poorest paid, but he is forced to make more sacrifices than any other professional man, taken as a class. This fact is not only television on the church he serves, but a sad reflection on the American people. The man who becomes a minister does so while the full knowledge of the sacrifices he must make, and he enters the ministerial field not as a business venture, but as a moral and religious venture—to make better men and women. Money, to the true minister of the Gospel, outside of sufficient to give him and his family, the whole common comforts of Life, and his children in a proper education, is a Aniline community; a god he ignores consistently so ship. The Bible says that the laborer is worthy his life, and this supplies just as much to the minister as is the physician, the lawyer, or the skilled for unskilled mechanic. We are pleased to note among the white churches, an agitation in favor of living salaries for ministers. The Neggyurches should join in the agitation. Better salaries will attract the best men, best mentally and morally, and relegate to the rear the jacking politicians masked in municipal robbery. Some Good Work by Women's Clubs In a letter just received from Montgomery, Alabama, we learn that the Alabama Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, has succeeded in raising over eleven hundred dollars in cash from the colored people in that state for the purpose of organizing and founding a reformatory,folk-colored boys in that state. The land has been purchased, several cottages have been erected and paid for, and already 22 boys have been assigned from the juvenile courts to the care of this institution. This indeed is fine work, and should be emulated by women's clubs through the country. Seeking Materials Z. W. Mitchell, a Negro about whom clings a doubtful memory of Loyal Legion of Labor doubtful fame, submitted to an ingerview with a white newspaper in Minneapolis recently, and relieved himself of the following: "Within a few weeks, with the coming of warm weather, the North will be flooded with a horde of criminal blacks driven from the South by the prohibition wave. Whites and blacks of the North must meet this great problem. It will be merely the shifting of the Negro problem from the South to the North. The South has dodged it. 'The North must face it'." Failing to find fame in the South and Middle West, Mr. Mitchell has gone West to seek morality. Who is Z. W. Mitchell anyhow? Leadership The colored Republicans of Kings county have not received any recognition from the Organization and they will not as long as they follow the present incompetent leadership of a practically dead organization. The State leader, ex-Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, who is also the recognized leader of the county, as far as we know, has got interested himself in favor of any colored man and he won't do so as long as our people are satisfied to accept mere promises and are such subservient followers. A leader in Kings county is needed. 'One who is forcel and possessed of the elements of leadership, the primaries are coming on and the organization will need votes. In many of the districts the Negro vote is all powerful. A hint to the wise should be sufficient. The Age Has No Pete What The Ace stated in its last week's issue, about an official position being a public trust and not a private snap, and that is the duty of office holders to construe their positions applies to any and all Negro office holders, in our form of Washington. The Government pays them for their services, and pays them well, and an office holder's duty to the government that employs him, is or should be just as exacting as the duty required by private firms of its employees. THE Ace has no friends among the office holders to especially reward in the expense of others, nor has it any cues to punish. THE Ace takes pride, great pride in all our representatives in office, as yards of culinary ingredients given in our columns from time to time will attest. But THE Ace reserves the right, in the interest of the race to愈来愈, when censure is due, just as purposely as it bestows praise when meritful. And this goes for Register Vernon, Auditor Tyler, Recorder Dancy, or any other public office, in its out of Washington The Ace is first of all for the race, and no one official's interest is paramount to that of the whole race. Of all the government officials in Washington, none have received as many complimentary notices in our columns as Mr. Vernon. Our esteemed contemptary. The Washington Bce, which to the defense of Mr. Vernon, and unnecessarily knows this to be true. Tun Ai is now, and always has been a prolific, but just, and will continue to be guided by this principle regardless of the wishes of any Negro official. We propose to treat all fairly, with an distinction, and we have, and shall have no petitions. Getting Newspaper Space Every irresponsible, graft-hunting Negro who goes to Washington from the states, to receive their thirty pieces of silver, are given great space in the Washington Post for their paid trials against President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. Heretofore, and even now the most americorious and helpful happenings among the Negroes of Washington can not receive so much as a line notice in the Post. That pop antagonism of the President and his secretary of war is such that it will be to give undue prominence to men whom it would not recognize under any other circumstance. Are some of our leaders who are engaged nowadays in denouncing President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft sincerely? We feel quite sure they do not themselves believe what they say. True, Act would not attempt to forecast at this writing who the Republican nominee will be. However, we are certain that the colored Republicans will not follow a leadership that villains and abuses. Colored Republicans will contend for their rights within party lines, but they will never be found in a humor to holl to democracy, and join forces with a pity controlled by such enemies of the race as Tillman, Vardaman and others of that stripe. Think before you act, leaders, in your rush utterances. The Negro is a Republican and the nominee will receive his vote, and we will know where the nominee stands on the important subject of the rights and privileges of our race. Just what race: Mr. J. Douglas Wetmore is representing in the midst of his political activity is a question hard to determine. From reliable information received by Tax Ace he did not play the important part at the recent Republican Convention, held at Jacksonville, Fla. he would like to have the people believe. Representative Ames relates a much different story. The biggest ecclesiast in the country, such as Dr. Lyman Abbott, Dr. Washington Gladden, and others, met in a Christian-convention at Washington last week. At the same time the biggest ecclesiast in the three branches of the Negro Methodist Church met in the some city. The former eschewed politics, and confined themselves to discussing and acting upon purely church matters. The latter injected politics into what was in reality to be a meeting of harmonious action for the uplift of the church. Note the distinguishing difference. "Niff sed." Register W. T. Vernon will speak in New York on the 22nd of this month. At last, New Yorkers will have an opportunity of hearing this gifted, brilliant orator. A new colored newspaper, called The Argus, has made its appearance in Cincinnati, the initial number appearing last week. It is an eight page comparison—seven pages of holder plate, and one page of original matter, that one page being entirely an academic dissection by the THE MOSES OF THE NEGRO Washington Accounted Great in a Field of Difficulties From The Finder Press the first bricks for which were made by Mr. Washington, after three unsuccessful experiments which so far exhausted his resource that to make the final experiment he had to pawn his watch. Mr. Washington has secured the sympathy and support of some of the broadly-minded men and women in the country and upon them he is forced in large part to depend for the furthering of the educational work which he is presenting with such a large measure of tangible benefits. He himself says that he of large results in a field allied with difficulties, every effort in which means the further enlightenment of a race. In Booker I. Washington's task will endure. Trinkete last year had 125 pupils and sing last year has sat on 600 men and women with some degree of education. Yet this is the mismanaged Booker I. Washington is the best known representative of his race, and in popular estimation if not in actuality, is the greatest man the race has produced. Whether or not the coming years will see his name enduring among those who are accounted great among Americans of the early twentieth century cannot be forfeited, but if a determining factor is the accomplishment not sure of all the problems connected with his race, but is convinced that patient work along destined to give the Negro a sense of thrift and moral responsibility and ability to earn the respect of his neighbors is the work which is safe and sure. That Tekkege is a Christian college and has educated hundreds of women who have been instrumental in opening churches and Sunday Schools means that there has been combined with knowledge the practical moral instruction through which all any individual can hope to attain his highest goals. Mr Washington has high aspirations for his school and is despatched by which authority. H. and C. Roberts in the People's Church. "I make no promise in working for any person. Any one who has the privilege of working for the midst of a race is in a crisis. This is not the only school for Negroes. For a work of similar instruction have sprung up the South and the influence of graduates of these institutions has not been without effect on the present wave of moral training in the South. Nor is it more desirable to those schools a portion of the in-prime which has reduced the number of teachings of Negroes. His plan that the nation should judge the Negro race by its best rather than by its worst representation, is certainly true. Opinion of Negroes and their ability is so often tinged with prejudice that it is difficult to realize from the large numbers of shifter Negroes that other large numbers, who are less competent, are worthy of the highest compulsion for their industry and integrity. Increase in the force of leaders and workers such as are turned out at Tuskegee, Hampton, Fisk and other institutions seems the solution of at least one large phase of the "Negro problem."

H. Jackson, ex-member of the Ohio State Legislature. Really, Mr. Jackson takes himself too seriously. From The Bakersport Sun The Sun, Birmingham, Amnapolis, Feb. 17.—Harry S. Cummings, the colored lawyer and City Councilman, headed a delegation of colored men that to-day appeared before the House Committee on Amendments to the Constitution, to which has been referred, the suffrage amendment, to protest against the passage of the bill. In the delegation we Rev. W. M. Alexander, Rev. G. R. Walker, University Gray Samuel E. Young, Samuel Ward, T. A. Gowens, S. W. Sims, Rev. F. R. Williams, J. A. Briscoe, Dr. John M. Johnson, Rev. D. G. Mack, Dr. Howard E. Young, P. D. Blackwell, C. A. Williams and James, Dr. William this delegation appeared before the committee, of which Mr. Stanford, of Somerset county, is chairman, and formally filed a protest against the enactment of the suffrage amendment. The voters' Suffrage League of Maryland, and the officers are: President, Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander; vice-president, Rev. Dr. John T. Jenifer; secretary, William M. Cardt; treasurer, Howard E. Young. The reasons for their protest were contended in it. They are: Sell It International "1. It is unconstitutional. Article 2 of the Declaration of Rights in the Constitution of Maryland declares: 'The Constitution of the United States shall be the supreme law of the State, and the judges of this State and all the people of this State shall be the judges of anything in the Constitution or law of this State to the contrary notwithstanding.' The Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States prohibits every State from making a law deriving or abridging the right of citizens to a certain condition of servitude. The proposed amendment to the Maryland Constitution will abridge the rights of a large proportion of its colored citizens. 72. It is undeniable because it creates class distinctions based upon hereditary privileges and arbitrary restrictions. The grandfather, naturalization, property, and military privileges of voters are required to qualify will divide the electorate into four castes. Of the first two are designed to be the most numerous and powerful, while the last two will be kept relatively small, impersonal, and selfless, greed, pity, sympathy, meanness and opacity of the more powerful. The castes created by the grandfather and naturalization clauses will be composed of all white voters, while those of black voters will be composed of educational clauses will be composed of all colored voters. Every white voter, native or foreign born, intelligent or illiterate, patriotic or venal, with property or with will, will be allied to register the voters. The voters' rules are makehits, not tests. A very large number of colored voters will be completely disfranchised by the property and educational clauses. The grandfather, naturalization, property, and military privileges of voters are madehits, not tests. If the possession of the ballot is so essential to white men who have at hand, by reason of centuries of opportunity, every conceivable justice discloses other advantages to justify discloses other advantages with words and other forms of selflessness and meanness, why is it less essential to colored men already heavily handicapped by social sentiments which are the result of centuries of oppression* "11 It will make Maryland a one party State. This means the rule of an obliquely able to perpetuate itself by reason of its驻队 upon the election machinery. It means the establishment of a political freedom among white men. It means the establishment of a system grown which every boothone form of graft, blackmail and fraud may thrive. It means that every white man with civil affiliations must crook the government. It means that their thrift must follow law. "12 It will have a harmful effect upon labor. To deprive law a large labor-population of their political rights to make them disunited and reseless, it will have a harmful effect upon their results from such laborers. "13 It will intensify race antagonism and conflict. Every colored man distrusted will feel that he is being cheated of what belongs to him alleged to be the land of the ladies. He will feel too that it is done by white race slightly because of his race and color, and because of the power. Meccady the tonae has raised the power. Meccady the tonae has raised the power. We feel its blightful influence on our own to earn our own breadth. "Discovering the Intelligent."

His material wealth, according to conservative estimates, amounts to more than $10,000,000 in real estate and more than $200,000,000 each deposited in the banks of the State. Added to the world of industry is his ambition to be the first to develop a large number of the race in spite of this record is a most infamous and diabolical proceeding. 7. It is unnecessary. Many of the most wholesome laws now on the statute are many of the oldest officials of the State. The courts of the State and the local courts have been seized to the service of the State through the use of the ballot by colored voters. The national gold-money extraction to the colored vote in Maryland. If it were the intention to get rid of "colonial voters" the "just and honest thing to do is to pass and strictly enforce a law applicable to the "colonial voters" of "Maryland." We have not sought to dominate white people politically or otherwise. We ask only a man's chance, a position and a man responsible, to be a member of the Legislature to consider our protest in the Christian spirit of justice and fairness. For the best interests of all the people of the State we measure so painfully an Christian, Democratic, un-American and unjust. BENEFITS BOW INTERVIEWS Nine Noted Performers Brother's Sister Therapeutic Affiliated to These New Pubs WASHINGTON, Feb. 17—Many of the interviews accredited to Methodist Bishops who convened here last week were manufactured to aid the enemies have denied, them as base forgeries; Bishop Hood, the senior bishop of the A. M. E. Zion Church, sent a note to President Roosevelt that he not only did not give utterance to the condemnatory reporter, even so much as interviewed him. Bishop Clinton also denied the truth of the interview accredited to him, as did several others. It appears that Bishop Walters was the freemain speaker and a prearranged affair by paid emissaries, not only secured publication for what was actually said, but that, which was not said. In short, men were quoted in public print to voice no excuses, and a Bishop disgusted, it is said, with the lugging of politics into a Christian gathering, and feared for the effect on the race. The newspapers here gave prominence to the political eruptions, he overlooked the bishops assembled. Now that it is all over many of the bishops regard the meeting as of doubtful influence for good because of the unwarranted injection or politics to such an extent as to have denied, them as cheap, pre-arranged political gathering. Bishop Elias Cottrell, of Holly Springs, Miss, presided bishop of the conferences of Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, took issue with reference to the political situation. Bishop Elias Cottrell condemning President Roosevelt unreservedly for his action in the Bronswville, matter, particularly in consideration of the fact that the President has on several occasions been decidedly friendly to the Negro people. Bishop Cottrell states that he believes President Roosevelt has seen he saw it, and that he would have acted in the same manner with any regiment in the army. In going over the situation, Bishop Courell said: "I never go on record, indulging political parties, nor candidates. I indulge principles and measures. The leaders of the Negro race are entirely too severe in their President Joseph. Many public utterances have been discounted as well as inconsistent." "President Roosevelt, in the distribution of Federal patrolage, has done as much for the colored race as any of his predecessors, since the days of Jimmy Carter, when he all of his past favors, the firm stand that he took for Cam, Taylor, Anderson, and Mrs. Cox in the Indiana affair. Many of his appointments have met stubborn question within his party. He was in mind, because of his action in the Brownville incident. The position I take in this matter I know I know an unpopular one with my race, but I am not cooking popularity. I believe Mr. Roosevelt, who was in mind, because of his duty and according to the evidence presented to him at the time. "Neither I believe that he disfigured the soldiers because they were not white, nor that he had been white soldiers. Moreover, I believe the soldiers shot up their town, but I believe they were provoked to do it. The premise was so strong against them that they were denied even common courtesies, pushed off the sidewalk, and refused admission to restaurant." "As to Mr. Foraker, I am sure that he has the courage of his convictions, and dared to express them. I admire him as much as any man, and would vote for him if he was nominated for the President. He has a strong dislike of his duty when he demands the facts act to the guilt or innocence of the colored troops." RUMORS OF BIG BOODLE A Washington Correspondent Revenues old Varsa for Purchasable Negroes. Wyss giveney, Feb. 17—A Washington correspondent, writing to his daily newpaper, says: "Washington is now the Mecca of purchasable Negroes. They are arriving on every train, and are arriving on every boat, and the local managers of the Fairbanks Cannon of Forerunners. It seems the Taft sign hanging out is—If you are looking for a cash purchase price you are not welcome" is picking some of the burying brothers hostile about hunting and killing. The brothers with Highs money are also dropping in, and when they flash their钞票, then is hurry excursion, on the part of others to locate the source of supply. But Highs himself has no knowledge of the giving out of money, and he does not feel the purposes of President Reeves's "supplying grafting Negroes with cash." NEGRO VOTE IN NORTHERN STATES. No Need to Rush on the Band Wagon- Stand off Awhile and Study Results To the Editor New York, Aer... Nevertheless the Negro vote made certain Northern States doubtful in these matters. The colored Americans submitted the State to the forced so widely and secondly the intention of the leaders of the great political power and the thoughtful student of politics. The possible effect of this balance power in the coming Presidential election is that it will be very hard for him and it will be very hard for him to win. The impassion which is so probable in the situation, his power will impress where it is possible for it to help, and work where it is possible for it to strengthen, will depend upon the wisdom with which it is working. Notwithstanding the optimism of leading politicians and the community of the press and magazines as to the moral direction of the great direction, contingencies are possible to arise to overcome this balance power. The power of the colored States and upon their power of the colored States will make themselves gilled; some to make demoral and others to consider what is best to do, and in to organize what is best to do and to organize the great direction for candidates. Are the colored citizens of the dutch states the colored Americans of the great direction? Who should represent and represent this vote? Surely not political hire lions' or designing politicians in their States or of other States. Race men who are not race men only for political demonstration are disinterested in their efforts in their interest, whose character is good and whose mind is strong, and who be entrusted with the use of this great opportunity which the race as a balance-power in the election next fall, affords. The race of the country should look to the colored voters of the doubtful States to use their vote next fall to determine the issue favorably. The country should field in using every honorable means to arouse and unite that vote for the good of the State. But while the race is looking to the duty they must take, duty they must the colored citizens in every Congressional district, where they have an appreciable vote, to demand a vote in the district or for such an intention in accordance to their strength. That a general understanding and cooperation are necessary for such an effective action. But our conferences represent the people. It seems that the situation would recom- mence more slowly. If we are the balance-power we need not risk for the band wagon. We need to study the situation for the best results. CORRESPONDENT. BISHOPS QUOTED FOR FORAKER. A Sample of the Interviews That Fell into Washington, Meeting. (From the) Waxserrosey, Feb. 14.—Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, who are in session here, are apparently unanimous for the nomination of Sena-Kenya's governor, and they are not aware of tuking for publical account of their widespread influence among their race-their remarks are regarded as deeply significant of the problem. The gov't votes in the next Presidential campaign. The NEGroes represent about five million Negroes. Some of them predict that if any other candidate-than Foraker is chosen a Republican gov't, voters would leave the Republican gov't. Wesley J. Gaines of Atlanta, Ga. said: "The Negroes of this country have been stirred as they never have before been charged in the dark charging the colored regimen in the Brownsville incident. Unless this injustice is rettified and the colored people are given a square deal in no uncertain touch they will never entertain the thought of supporting Mr. Roosevelt's nominee. "I have the greatest respect for Senator Foraker, and I am for him for the nomination. I believe the colored people have shown their gratitude to the Senator." "The colored people will prove themselves ingrates if they do not give Foraker united support," declared Bishop C. E. Smith, of Detroit, "The action of President Roosevelt in the Brownies will raise the voice and cause more or less animosity to the President and his policies." "Colored delegates to the national convention, unless they are officeholders, will rally under the Foraker standard." said Bishop Smith; "and the race as a vote will call a vote for him if he is made the standard hearer of the party." Bishop M. W. Derrick, of Ohio and Pennsylvania, said that, in being for Foraker he reflected the sentiment, he will all dignify in Ohio and Pennsylvania, regardless of the candidacy of Mr. Knus. Bishop Sphers, of Charleston, S.C., whose district includes Louisiana and Mississippi, said: "There is a feeling of unrest among the colored people, and we are not alone. We support Rosevelt. Some of them would support him now, but the majority don't believe him sincere. Put me down for Foraker, first, last and all of the time." Bishop Coppin, of Philadelphia, said, "Mr. Foraker, the colored people are doing all in their power to effect that end. It is not only a feeling of gratitude, but they look upon him as one of the greatest men in the country today. Personally, I support Rosevelt; but we are for the man who was our friend in a time of need." THOMAS H. MALONE DEAD. Bellinand Georgian Writer at One Time a Valued Age, Correspondent. from the Atlanta Independent. Thomas H. Brittage Malone is dead. He was 81. He was born in two months or more. Tom Malone wore of the forders of like, shuffles off his mental cool and begins his jour- ney. He traveled from wiener to travel returns. Col. McBain was born in Mignola, Georgia, in 1905 years ago after finishing the grammar schools he graduated from. Post K. R. Wright, under K. R. Wright, then serving one year at the whelwright trade, under R. K. Rattley, be graduated in Atlanta University in the fall of 1856; four years later he entered upon the study of law at Amherst College, then served as the bar of the Plum Grant at McDougall, Ga. under Judge J. S. Boyne in 1857, entering at once the active practice of his profession with H. I. Johnson, under the firm name of J. H. Johnson, which firm continued without interruption up to the date of his death. Col Malcolm is strikingly of a literary turn, and his contribution to the press were widely read and admired for his literary excellence. He is a member of the literary community and some poetry of high class. Tom Malcolm, as he was familiarly referred to by his friends, was well, and intimately known by most of the people of prominence. He was a quiet and humble disposition and most esteeming and compassionable in a friend. His disposition to be quiet and unassuming, and the constant "storm after storm" in the press, added to his desire for exclusion and his wish to meet them "on the further shore" where there is "no more living." His wife, his baby, his father and his mother have all died in the post-war years. He died in Atlanta Sunday morning at about 1 o'clock, and was buried in Augusta Tuesday afternoon. February to June, he basked in mother and father, and in those twelve months he missed by those twelve degrees he will often and so unsullied serve; he will be missed in these triving times when the race needs so much his high order of diligence and the many he will be missed of in time. He was whose dreary hours he so offered soft. ced by his piety and humor, labor well done; he has entered the "house" not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Over a thousand people attended the lecture by Booker T. Washington, the celebrated colored orator, and educator, on the subject of "Negro Education," given at the First Congregational Church in an antecedent, the lecture more than fulfilled the expectations of the immense crowd which assembled in spite of the bad weather. The church was filled to its capacity and over a hundred of the people, and the back of the church, been listened to the lecture without any sign of weariness. Mr. Washington was brought to 'the Mistries under the joint assent of the Minister for Education and the Ladies' Benevolent Society of the First Congregational Church, the Second Congregational Church and the former that of St. Paul. Last night the Ladies' Benevolent Society netted $150 in round numbers of $150 will be sent straight to Tuskegee. The reception which had been planned at the courthouse was abandoned for fear of interfering with the lecture. In order to prevent interference, he ordered to Mr. Washington at the West Hotel by eight of the representative colored men of this city. Following the banquet a purse which had been made available to the president of Washington in aid of his work at Tuskegee. Following are the names of the contributors: Z. W. Mitchell. H. B. Smith. J.

"I if were called upon to decide upon the question of national aid being given to Negro education, I believe I would pronounce against it. It can be proclaimed and a better way," said the speaker. "Shall we permit the myr to remain upon this territory, getting the least education and proper industrial training fit him to get the most out of the soil? The Negro race in America now numbers not far from 10,000,000 and is severely undereducated. These millions of my race can be made useful or useless; they can be made to help or hinder; they can be made criminal or law-abiding citizens; they can be used to manipulate the intelligence of our country or they can become a load of ignorance, dragging down our civilization. Which shall it be? The importance of laying an economic foundation in the work of education of the Negro cannot be overestimated. Education has never been tried among the rank and file of our people on a large enough scale." "According to official statistics, there were 1,100,000 children of my race of school age who were not even enrolled in school, and a large proportion of those who were not enrolled only four or five months of the year. The one gregg of my race to day is, in my opinion, strong, unlush, intelligent Negro leaders and workers, and by that I mean teachers, such as we are trying to send out from Fisk, from Tallahassee and from other educational centers in the South. Courts No Criterion. "The Negro race should not be judged by what is seen of him in the police courts. The white man is not so judged. The average white man rarely sees what the Negro is doing in his business, industrial, moral and domestic life." "White people in the South are becoming more enlightened and liberal on the subject of the Negro race. Some of them are as much interested in the progress of the Negro race as in any other part of the community. It is hard to imagine a white person in liberal class of Southern white people that we are fast getting to the point where lynchings, and the causes that provoke lynchings, are disappearing." "Twenty years ago, in one year, I was over 60 cases of lynchings in the South and there were the past 12 months. I am quite sure that there have been only 50 such cases." Again, it is largely through the influence of this Liberian class of white people in the South that the bar-rooms has been so hurried as the economic and unplifting of our people, are disappearing. In the majority of cases, the influence back of the crimes which provoke lynchings, and the lynchings themselves, has been bad wholly as the spammable words and the bad white noise and led back whille. Safe and Sure Road. "I may be in double concerning some elements in our 9/11 situation, but of one thing I feel absolutely sure, and that is that ignorance and racial prejudice can provide a problem for any problem of safety on patient, amply, persistently, giving all the people more skill, increased habits of industry, more intelligence, and a higher idea of morality and religion, we can be absolutely sure that we are traveling a safe and sure road." He applies to Dublin, thereby to Milwaukee and Chicago, and from that city to Tuskegee.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 17.—Musical Fund Hall was comfortably filled last Wednesday evening to hear noted orators eulogize Lincoln under the auspices of the Constitutional League. Congressman Bingham was to preside, but owing to other engagements he was unable to appear, so Dr. William A. Sinclair, president of the Pennsylvania Division, introduced ex-Congressman George H. White as chairman of the meeting. He delivered an eloquent tribute to the memory of Lincoln, after which he introduced T. Thomas Fortune, of New York, who referred to Lincoln as the embodiment of the spirit of liberty, and then went on to say that there were not enough Roosevelts in the country to drown out the spirit of liberty, nor to put aside the great work which Senator Foraker had done for the Negro soldier. The next speaker, Rev. Reverdy C. Ranso, of New York, went even further than Mr. Fortune in his denunciation of President Roosevelt. He said that he had no sympathy with those who advised the Negro to keep out of politics, and would sooner surpass his pulpit than give up his political convictions. "For my part," he continued, "I advise my people to oppose the present dictator at Washington, and if Roosevelt or any one he dictates is put on the ticket I shall not hostage to bolt it. Starvation stands at the door of every poor man to day as a result of the Roosevelt policies, and it could be no better at all were in his power." Rev. J. M. Thiemann and Rev. John Palmer reiterated the charges made by the previous speaker, while every attention to Senator Borsak was instantly applauded. Resolutions adopted by the meeting declared that the Itawas still incident was a disgrace to free people and that the Negro legislature discharged without trial should be ordered with full salary for the entire Senator Borsakaker was highly commended for his age in relating the Administration and demanding a trial trial for the accused soldiers. Wharton Borsak, Poe was one of the last speaker and entertained the audience with some personal impressions of Lincoln.

This is remarkable when we take into consideration the unsettled condition of things financial during the past five months throughout the entire country. The Fishermen's Bank has made wonderful strides during trying circumstances and her existence to day is due to the fact that it is a tangible necessity in the race's economic equation, and not by any means due to the fact that it has received the united support or candid encouragement of the masses of Hampton's leading African-American business men or the fraternal order in every particular. It is due to the faith, the dogged integrity and persistence of two brave men, Rev. Dr. T. H Shorts, its under and most enthusiastic fosterer, and Dr. William E.

WALTON NEGRO STAGE TYPES "What the management's object in permitting most of the men and nearly all the women to wear straight hair is, however, is difficult to understand. The women are not naturally natural if it were not for this point. But it really does not matter, and the singing of the straight-haired chorus is just as vigorous as it would be with the kinks." Such are the views expressed by the dramatic critic of the Dramatic Mirror in his criticism of "Handanna Land." The rest of his remarks about the show are of no special significance. He agrees with the majority of critics that show with singing chorus second to home on Broadway. But like most white critics, in fact, white people in general, he has certain set ideas as to just how colored people should look, and when they appear other than what he has in mind he charges that the members of the chorus wigs and are not strictly Negro types. It is not prejudice that causes such an expression of opinion, but pure, unadulterated ignorance. That the man was not prejudiced was shown by Willard and Walker and to their new show. But when he saw over half a hundred colored performers appear on the stage, the men with their hair parted in the middle and combed and plastered with white thread, when he viewed with alarm the women wearing their hair done up in all of the latest styles and some having the effrontery to appear unearned waves, it was too much for the Willard and Walker and permitted their people to depart from their true and natural type--kinky hair--and wear wigs. The management was asked if there were women worn in the Williams and Walker show, and the answer was emphatically no. Of course many of the women are guilty of wearing brads, rats and puffs, it is asserted, but there is not a female member whose hair is not necessarily her own with a few artistic additions. But for that matter every white choreis pleasure in inserting several pieces of hair from the hair-dresser in her coiffure, and one of the most talked-of white stars in new York is the girl who is no other than Gence, the great dancer, who is the life of the "Soul Kiss." There is no denying the fact that this season Willmans and Walker have selected for their chorems more straight-haired individuals than such could not be found than the six or eight that assist Aida Overton Walker in her song, "Its Hard to Love somebody." But they are even less guilty of wearing false hair than the female members. Lots of grubbing and small applications of oil one in a while is their only excuse for appear- The remarks of the Dramatic Mirror's critic only goes to show that our white brothel know very little of us and that they acquaint us the white people of the colored man's customs, environment and types. On the street car one can often hear the query "Who is he or she with straight hair or fair skin bring about no little discussion in public places. But in the theatre the white patron knows he is going to see a colored man with kinky hair and a that type he usually concludes that there is no one certain type of a Negro but that the types are varied. It is also borned that colored people can not cultivate without a strain but with perfect ease and naturalness. If a critic who has seen hundreds of shows laments about colored performers we know full well the ideas of the hundreds of white theatre-goers who attend "Randamana Land." So it has come to pass that colored shows are not only amusing and attractive to the psychological standpoint. White people usually form their ideas of what a colored person should look like from some one certain member of the race, and they often contact. They do not know, it seems, that our types are as varied as the colors in the rainbow. For instance, you can see in "Ramapuna Land" the blood and hair on their heads, and who are even accused of showing intelligence, being bald, there being as much hair on their heads as one would find ice cream in a saucer for 10 cents at a restaurant. It goes without saying that many of these persons accused of wearing wigs on the stage are perfectly aware of their straight hair and not accordingly. A man who is not a white man,rant, one of the male members of the Williams and Walker chorus was heard to make the following statement: "After the show at nights I occasionally go up to the stage and do some passing. Although my face is dark they see this hair, and then when I commence jobbing off some French they can't tell just what I are. And they can't tell what I don't suspect I am an American Negro." It is very true that you can get first-class accommodations in most all public places irrespective of your color if you appear to be anything other than an American. You can be well and good; but if you are of the type that is given serious consideration by the white critic you must submit to the inevitable, which is -walk in a place and remain if you desire for six hours without any attention being paid to you. You can be called true type receivers in New York, but in the South you had better not remain six seconds-that is if you value your life. It is amusing at times to see how confused some people are over deciding which of Negro whose racial identities they just can't determine. While it is generally easy for one of us to size up at a sight a Negro, it is different with our white brother. Several days ago three white men were standing on the corner of 41st street and 8th avenue. There passed a colored man of the white critic a type who was accompanied by a woman. Upon seeing the couple two of the men became unduly excited and asked the third party, who evidently lived in the neighborhood, if the woman was colored. If the woman was colored, they did not believe that surprise were strong and foul until they spied the writer, who was standing nearby enjoying it all. "Oh, that's nothing to what you use around here," spoke up the third party, the three went into a saloon to get a drink. The Ace is glad to have the Dramatic Mirror make such a candid statement about the Negro type, and hopes that in one out and prechain that Bert Williams, J. Shipp and a few of the other members of the cast wear wigs, but that all the members of the chorus appear in their own hair. The Dramatic Mirror knew as much as we do about hair it would make an additional assertion that nowadays you soldm see colored people with real kinky hair, and that the time is not far off from now. The corneous bein will fit subjects for the dime museum—they will be so rare. VAUDEVILLE SPLIT THREATENED Before many days have passed Titz Aux predicts that there will come from the United Booking Offices in the St. James Building announcement that the Poll will several smaller managers have withdrawn from the Keith-Proctor people and will book separately hereafter. The Keith-Proctor, Hammerstein, Williams, Poll combination was formed by fifteen people who were formed villa field, and was organized about a year ago. President indications point to the combination dissolving on account of Klaw and Erlanger. When the United Booking people agreed to take over all the contracts that Klaw and Erlanger had made in order to get them to withdraw from vaudeville, the St. James Building people did not know what a big lemon was being handed them by Erlanger, who could afford the brains of the theatrical business. The contracts amounted to thousands of dollars, and in order to give the people work who had Klaw and Erlanger book contracts to off off many of their acts. All would have probably gone well had it not been for Keith and Proctor closing their 22d street theatre, and followed it to the 23d street theatre, where future their houses in New York would be closed and later made moving picture places as was the 22d street house. The houses in consideration are the Lincoln Theatre, the Avenue Theatre, 82th Street Theatre and 125th Street Theatre. Several houses out of town, including the one in Elizabeth, N.W., will also close. Many theaters going out of the vaudeville business, the question arises who is to take care of all the Klaw and Erlanger contracts when the performers is booked to play in theaters, Willie Hammettstein, Poli and a few others. These theaters are not to be closed and being in the agreement they will have their salaries together with the people whom they originally booked. It remains to be seen how things turn out. Willie Hammettstein and Poli of Hammettstein, Williams and Poli there is much murmuring of discontent. THIRD WEEK OF BANDANNA LAND This is the third week of "Bendula Land" at the Maltese Theatre and instead of the attendance taking off it is on the ice. At each performance Wilfrieds not only play but is crowded with New Yorkers. G. HENRY TAPLEY having their trunks and personal effects sent to the theatre and are settling down for an indefinite stay. They ceasephasing & new songs in Walt Disney's Rather Have Nothing! All of the Time Then Something for a Little White! which be will try out some night during the latter part of the show. Although there is not great might be termed a pronounced song list in the show, the production is so unique it is receiving popular approval in the same manner as the "Official Back the Comm --- George W. Walker's Letter to, the Thirteen Club. On February 13, the Thirteenth Club gave a dinner at the Harlem Cusine Cafe, representatives of every race but the Negro race were present. The sub-poetic decision was "No Race Prejudice in Form of Superstition?" The full of race prejudice to invite a colored man to the dinner an invitation was extended to George W. Walker, of Williams and Walker, to express his views on the question through mail. His letter in part: February 13, 1908 Gentlemen of the Thirteenth Club, I have seen in the daily press an announcement of a dinner to take place at the Harlem Cusine Cafe this evening, the 13th of February, 18th, at which time representatives of the Hebrew race, the fashness race, the Italian race and the Irish race will speak on the subject. "Is Race Prejudice in Form of Superstition?" I also notice that a proclamation of emancipation will be presented to each diner, the purport of which is to emancipate him from all race prejudice and superstition. In view THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1908 the fact that I am a member of a race against whom there is more race prejudice and discrimination than any other race in the United States of America, I have thought perhaps a few remarks from me might call the attention of the Thirteenth Club to a few facts which in the future may claim a part of their consideration. I am frank to confess that I am a very superstitious individual. In fact, I have been told and I believe it to be necessary to be aware of the conditions of all the races of mankind on the face of the globe, and, being a full-fledged member of the Ethiopian race, or perhaps you would say, the Negro race, you see I cannot help but be a superstitious person of accuracy, while I am an actor and hay no pretences to being a scholar, I shall take the liberty to call your attention to the exact meaning of the word superstitition, according to Webster's dictionary. Webster says, superstitious in the sense of an exclusive exactness or rigor in religion. a great musical novelty, artistically rendered in concert style. Tom Fletcher, formerly of the team of Ballay and Fletcher, will be bereaved be known in vanderville as Tom Fletcher and his "Poor Brews Beauties." They will open a singing in a staging and dancing specialty. Owing to the inability of John Rucker to secure immediate booking for his big act, the "Whitewash Brigade," he has disbanded the act and will go in business as a singer. Billy Moore and Muriel Ringold have come in vanderville as a team and in a trial rehearsal before several of the big managers at the Union Square Theatre they were pronounced O. K. and named Fifth Avenue Theatre this week. Since they put on a new act it has been declared one of the best in the banquet for all. Prot. Hart Candidate—Business Department Home. WARHAMING, D. proposed banquet in W. Tyler, Auditor of Treasury for the Navy been set for March 1313 E street. N. W. of gentlemen from a to be present, among W. Anderson of New J.erry, of Philaharryts, Cummings, others. The commen'ts: Messrs. Robe C. Dancy, James A. C. Kildy, James A. C. Kildy, Fifth Avenue Theatre this week. Since they put on a new act it has been declared one of the best in the banquet for all. I have been told, and believe it to be true, that the Ethiopian race, being the most superstitious of all races, was the first to found civilization on the banks of the River Nile, thousands of miles away. Someone has said, that all civilization rests upon religious conception. The more religious the races have been from an ethical and psychological point of view, the more superstitious. A great authority on comparative civilization somewhere states in the history of the African foundation in this way: The savage African, the black man, standing on a hill in Africa amid his tribe cried, out, "Oh!" and all the savages around him being superstitious were amazed at the expression and sought to find the answer to his plight. In Kismun. The story runs, that the African who cried out "Oh!" was unable to explain to his follows the cause which moved him, and from that day to this civilized man has been seeking to find out the unknown. Now, once superstitious done away with, then civilization comes to a standstill. As for race prejudice I have only this to say. Having been born in the town of Lawrence in the State of Bleeding Kansas, I was my son for four years; early in my life I was to be associated with white children who had never been trained to look at the complexion of the human skin with suspicion. Therefore I can truthfully say that they had no race prejudice. I played a child I played with white children and was treated merely as a child and treated other children as children usually treated each other. We played all of the children together and that was all there was to it. Having left Lawrence at a very early age to seek my fame and fortune in the world—I have gained a little fame of which I am not, ushaham, but fortune has not only to meet but I have had to battle against a prejudice called race prejudice. This prejudice I have not found to be a superstition at all, but a misuse of the truth, for all humanity is one and Gentlemen, allow me to ask you a rather pointed question. Is it the main object of the Thirteen Club to enhance late men from race prejudice or hot? Is this to true, why not touch people the truth? It seems so strange that a body of learned men should overlook a race in the American republic against whom there is so much pre-projudicacy of cannot persuade myself to believe that the Thirteen Club would intentionally overlook a race problem so large, so dangerous, and so perplexing as the problem of the Afro-American race is said to be. Gentlemen, please explain how it came to pass that your learned society failed to invite a representative of my race to speak at your dinner. Is it possible that you have to go to the race by the same way as you are seeking to participate themselves from super-situation, and yet they fail to be broad enough to ask a man of African blood in his views to be present and to take part in your deliberations. A direct answer to this question will not only be gratifying to me personally, but from my knowledge of many fair limited and progressive white and black citizens in this republic who have the welfare of humanity and the progress of the world. American people truly at Gentlech, it is so do not in understand me in the best. I am not a case�mentor, and do not claim to thoroughly understand it questions with which our society does Williams and Walker seek to make people happy by giving them a clean cut show composed of and noted entirely by members of the Affair in man. We seek to be natural. We are full of life and vision because we are touched with a religious fervor which is not open superstition. Please do not seek to destroy this natural quality in as to telling us to enanciate ourselves from emperors, but seek to emancipate all mankind from care, inequity, which is due to a lack of proper training and not from superstition. Williams and Walker wish to make people large, and the one way to do this is to be yourself and be natural. This we see taking to be on and off the stage. With the best wish that you so may noomch in great work for the whole case and not for a few, believe me to be. Meet the perfectly across Granger W. WARRE EDITORS TAKE NOTICE At a large expense Turt Aor is conducting a dramatic page for the benefit of the theatrical profession and its trust. However, the page is not available. It appears that there are a number of editors throughout the country who seem to think that we are publishing the page for their exclusive benefit. It is true that owing to the geographical location of Turt Aor it is in a country where the theatrical people far in advance of all other colored publications, but at that if articles are to be taken from this publication and printed a week later we believe that credit should be given the paper for some, which is a country adhered to by us. We are not aware to articles being sent from Turt Aor, but we ask that credit be given to whom credit is due. Melville Charlton Entertains Opern Singer Monsieur Louis Cazenault, former subject of the Metropolitan Opera Company, was born in the city of New York. He met the conductor of the late 1950s Cumberland Street, Brooklyn. The evening was much enjoyable by the theater group, including the "Theses Songs" from Carrion, while Harry Bashik,坐席 subject of St. George's P. E. Church, sang "Simbabes" the "The Seal" and the most rendered song. Among the Yauce Villains: Carlile and Baker write Turt Acr from Sacramento, Calif. that they are enjoying great success on West. They have been offered ten tapes to refine the other offering to their contemplated trip abroad this spring. One paper speaks of the performers as follows: "Carlile and Baker, billed as the coloredristocrats, how now and when are the minister biographers. Their whole get is a great musical novelty, artistically remodeled in concert style."

Doc 12-3mos Makes Brilliant Address to Local Business People An Opportunity to Hear Dr. Washington Must Not Be Avoided--His Visit to the Orphanage Home of Amanda Smith at Harvey. CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—Dr. Booker T. Washington has been largely and helpfully in evidence in Chicago during the past week. He first arrived in the city on Sunday morning, February 9, en route to St. Paul, Minneapolis an' dDubuque, Iowa. He had a busy day. A large number of prominent people called at the Palmer House to pay their respects to the great educator as soon as it was learned that he was in the city. In the afternoon of that day, accompanied by a few personal friends, he made a visit to Harvey, Ill., for the purpose of paying his respects to Amanda Smith, the noted evangelist, and inspecting the institution founded by her for the care and training of orphans and homeless children. This visit and show of interest in Mrs. Smith and her work was a most gracious act on the part of Dr. Washington, and will be long remembered as one of the most interesting and perhaps most important event in the history of this worthy institution. Dr. Washington's second appearance, in our city was on the 11th inst., when he came to address the business men and women under the auspices of the local branch of the Negro Business League. The interest in the founder of Tuskegee is so widespread and sincere that any occasion becomes important of which he is a part. Dr. Washington has delivered at least one address every year in this city for the past ten years. The eagerness to hear him to-day by all classes of citizens is quite as intense as on the first occasion. Those who have studied the man and his work easily understand how this strong interest in him is sustained. The reason people are still so anxious to see and hear him is because in soul and mind he grows with the growing and expanding age in which we live. He keeps abreast of the fast moving history that is in the making. He cherished a deep and abiding faith in his race that, until recently, had but little to be proud of. His knowledge of the forces that are making for or against the progress of his people is practical, thorough and plausible, and not merely academic. He talks of things that he knows and tools. He is not envious of other people's achievements. He gladly co-operates with anybody or anything that means advancement for his race. His strength has in it the elements of success faith and sympathy. He is instantly ready to serve any good cause that is brought to his knowledge. The man in business the teacher, the church, the charity, the cause of citizenship rights and the whole range of large and small interests that make up our progressive life. It is because he lives so much and so completely for others and for the times in which he lives that interest in what he has to say always and everywhere commands instant and unabated attention, it is not surprising, then, that on Friday night when he rose to speak in Bethel Church he faced a large and eager company of listeners from all walks of life. The address was delivered under the auspices of the local Negro Business League. To say that Dr. Washington was at his best on this occasion does not mean that he is not always at his best. Probably 90 per cent of the vast audience had heard him before and perhaps many times before. There seems to have grown up among the people what for a better phrase might be designated as the "Booker T. Washington Jailer." I have an opportunity to hear him and not to hea rhim must not happen. So everybody comes and hangs the wrist as from some great oracle. It is a splendid tribute to the man, and helpfulness that people cannot hear him too often. Your correspondent is admirable to say that his last address was his best. Whether it was or not the manifestation of interest and appreciation on the part of the people took all forms of expression, applause, laughter, tears and hand clapping. It was certainly a noble appeal and commitment to the heart and head of that vast acre of the low citizen. Disdain of those self-help self- trust, appreciation of civil and political rights, united effort to accomplish big things, were one and all tributed in the creator's best manner of statement. The relationship between and since and speaker was clear and sympathetic. It is so felt that Dr. Washington's address will go on until the local League of the city. His organization needed the stimulating effect of Dr. Washington's presence and stirring address. The following members of the League were largely responsible for the success of the meeting: President Sadly W. Trier; treasurer, J. Harris; secretary, W. J. Hicks, Dr A J. Caye, Geo Faulkner, S. Lasing Williams, Alex Stevens, H. Thomas Calloway, E. M. Blackwell and George W. Henderson. Among the visitors from other cities to the Chicago big meeting were Messrs. Knox and Meaning from Indianapolis, both prominent members of the Business League of that city, and Rev Mr. Bond of Nashville, Tennessee. THE BELLMEN'S RECEPTION Two Thousand Attend Twelfth Annual Winter Reception. The forty-fourth annual reception of Hotel Bellman's Beneficial Association, which took place on Grand Central Palms on Wednesday evening.

There were about two thousand people present who attended with excitement the spirit of the station and and a delightful time. There was a fine display of beautiful gowns in the boxes and on the floor. There was not the crowd of guests in the boxes as of yore, and there was holding the constant pop of the champagne cock for which the Bellman's reception have been famous, yet the good music furnished by the orchestra of Prof. Walter THE NEW YORK TIMES F. Craig and Miss Halle Anderson, which paid alternately a program of forty dances, was enough to enliven the spirits of everybody. The floor was under the able management of Mr. Harry Knight. At one o'clock the grand march of the association took place. President W. O. Murphy led the march, which was finely executed and elicited much applause. After the march dancing was resumed till early morn. The occupants of the boxes were: Box 1. President and Mrs. W. O. Murphy, Miss M. O. Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
