BOSTON CITIZENS HOLD A DELEGATE CONVENTION Afro-American Citizens Crowd Fanuell Hall at a Monster Mass Meeting Taft Club Opens Headquarters at Upton Hotel—Plymouth Hospital Training School Opens with Large Enrollment—Pastor Brown Surprised—Other Items of Interest. Bostrom, March 23.—Despite the wild and misleading reports in the Boston dailies concerning the great mass meeting held by Negroes on Wednesday night in Boston's cradle of liberty and announced by them as well as by the local designing political Negro grafters and their organ as a "a great anti-Taft meeting," the real sentiment of the conservative body of the meeting was a Foraker testimonial and an anti-pledged Massachusetts delegation to the Chicago convention. More than this the sittier and respectable Afro-Americans who crowded the historic Fannuel Hall to the doors registered their solemn protect at this their opportune time against the treatment of their soldiers discharged at Brownsville; applauded gratefully the efforts of the loyal Massachusetts delegation at Washington headed by their faithful friend, Senator Crane, and took counsel of their sane and safe leaders and speeches. Rev. Samuel A. Brown and family returned to the city last Thursday evening from Washington, D. C., where Mrs. Brown and the children, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Shorter have spent most of the Winter. The homecoming of the family was celebrated at the parsonage of St. Mark's Monday evening by a company of parishioners who tendered Rev. and Mrs. Brown a genuine surprise. Among those present were: Mrs. Amie B. Ward, Mrs. Catharine Ginston, Mrs. Lena Bryant, Mrs. L. L. Eoy, Mr. and Mrs. Wells, Mrs. M. E. Monroe, Mrs. Rosa Valentine, Mrs. Mary Ginn, Mrs. Alice Sparrow, Mrs. M. C. Suggs, Misses H. Sickles, Bertha Smith and Louise Norris. The company left with the family substantial tokens of love and appreciation. Mr. David D. Thompson, C. P. & S. 09, and Miss Emma Walcock have been employed by the Robert Gould Shaw Association at the settlement house. Mrs. Efiber C. Davis of Boston. Among the thrilling able addresses delivered those by Rev. T. W. Henderson and Rev. Henry J. Callis well expressed the real sentiments of the gathering and of Boston Negroes generally. These declared the allegiance of the Negro to the Republican party henceforth must be had on present and adequate consideration. If Republicans countonance or fail to rectify such mis-titles as the wholesale discharge of the Brownville battalion, they must do so at their own peril. The Negro no longer wants pre-election promises or a few soft berths as political pay. To-day he wants from the administration at Washington enforcement of the spirit as well as the letter of the constitution. If the Southern States fail to protect his life, liberty and property; if the Southern States fail to protect him from unequal and unjust accommodations as on the jim crow cars, then this protection is incumbent on the Federal Government and the Federal Government is lax and derreth to its duty if it continues in its non-action. The spokesman of the Boston Negroes asked the Federal Government if it will enforce both the 14th and 15th amendments to-day, not after the election. Among the other addresses made were those by Rev. A. A. Barle, Rev. S. A. Brown, Rev. A. N. Shaw and Mr. Cement G. M. Morgan and Mr. Emory T. Morris, who pried. While it is true that the body of the audience and the temper of the meeting was thus conservative and dead in earnest, the reactionary and grafting elements were present to serve as boomerang to whatever the sensible Negroes of Boston undertake. Applauded by their foolish and faking followers these wild and irresponsible leaders gave vent to all sorts of freak ideas on Roosevelt. But let it be said to their credit as a whole, the Boston Negroes haven't lost their heads. Convention Drafts. The name of Mr. William H. Lewis, head of Boston's Naturalization Bureau, is being urged with much effort and earnestness as the alternate delegate-at-large from Massachusetts. While he is being urged especially by the out and out Taft faction and the local dailies, Mr. Lewis is respected and admired by all elements of his party and his race. Massachusetts has a wealth of first-class Afro-American material and from time to time these have been mentioned individually. Safe it is to say that the Afro-Americans could not be better represented in every way by a delegate from the Old Bay State than by William H. Lewis. As an adjunct to the Massachusetts Taft headquarters under Congressman Samuel L. Powers, the colored Taft Club has opened headquarters at the Upton Hotel, on Dartmouth street. Mr. W. W. Bryant and Mr. Peter J. Smith have been put in charge of the headquarters, while Mr. Lucius Hicks is president of the Taft Club, and Messrs. M. J. Boulware, F. F. Smith and A. J. De Laine are members of the executive committee. The clerical force, including the stenographer, will all be colored. Mr. D. M. Claighorn, director of the Boston Y. M. C.

C., where Mrs. Brown and the children, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Shorter have spent most of the Winter. The homecoming of the family was celebrated at the parsonage of St. Mark's Monday evening by a company of parishioners who tendered Rev. and, Mrs Brown a genuine surprise. Among those present were: Mrs. Annie B. Ward, Mrs. Catherine Guston, Mrs. Lena Bryant, Mrs. L, L. Eoy, Mr. and Mrs. Wells, Mrs. M. E. Mouroe, Mrs. Rosa Valentine, Mrs. Mary Ginn, Mrs. Alice Sparrow, Mrs. M. C. Suggs, Misses H. Sickle, Bertha Smith and Louise Norris.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSENGER William B. Dalray Promoted to a $1,600. Clerkshil. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Last week, William B. Dulany, of Alexandria, Va., was the recipient of a fine promotion, which illustrates again the fact that the man who improves himself, even if he is colored, has an opportunity to rise Mr. Dulany, since President Roosevelt has been in office since the President's candididial messenger, and among his WILLIAM B. DULANY duties is that of shaving the President each day. Before entering the government service Dulany followed the occupation of a barber. Mr. Dulany took a course in a business college, and also attended Howard University. As a messenger he was at all times punctual and reliable, and as he had equipped himself for higher duties, when a $1,900 clerkship became vacant in Auditor Tyler's office. Mr. Tyler requested that Mr. Dulany be promoted to a clerkship and transferred to his office at $1,600. The President has great admiration for Dulany. In fact he swears by him, and no man was more pleased with Dulany's promotion than the President himself. There is no question but what Dulany will make good, for he has the stuff in him that makes men. He has been quite a favorite about the White House, and all the attaches there warmly congratulated him on his promotion. Each summer, Dulany, with his wife and children, has accompanied the President to Oyster Bay. Some of the white papers have sarcastically referred to Mr. Dulany as a Negro barber. But the fact that he was a barber is not disgrace. It has been a credit to him. N. M. C. Organised NEW ROCHELLLE, March 23. On last Tuesday evening the Cooperative Company not and organized a Y. M.

LEROY BUTLER PASTOR ST JAMES PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. NEW YORK Keith School Kickers Receive a Quietus to Color Line Agitation —Some Real Estate Purchases Contemplated. Cincinnati, March 23.—Every now and then the peace of mind of the colored people of this city is disturbed by painful and intemperate complaints on the part of white parents whose children are compelled, under the laws of the State of Illinois, to sit in the same school room, study the same books, recite to the same teachers, compete for the same medals with the children of colored parents. Mixed schools for all children alike is the law of this State. The democratic spirit and strength of this law has been tested time and time again in the courts of this State, and in every such case the law has been adhered to, that there can be no "color line" distinctions in our public schools. The occasional trouble and complaints of recent years have been centered in what is known as the "Keith School" located in the quirk of what is called the "black helf." More than three-fourths of the pupils in this school are colored children, and the other fourth are the children of the very few who still cling to the neighborhood that has almost always changed to the character of its residents during the past 15 years. A few days ago a memorial letter in the part of the town white children brought the separate school question again to the front so that the newspapers, always eager for a new situation have tried their best to produce out of it than the first would warrant Some 30 or 40 of these parents and a united appeal to the Board of Education to save them from the horrible necessity of sending their children to a school where they must come in with such a large number of New children and their teachers. I would make their case much more attractive these prejudices in the school of it an excuse to cast their weight entirely on the entire school. REV. C. LEROY PASTOR ST. JAMES PRESBYTERY finally reprinted on the Board that where are in part homeland of what the Negro has done in making possible for them of skill in an account of liberty and a career in this country. This large and intelligent delegation that waited up in the Board of Education, poured out their complaints long and loud in their attempt to place a brand of shame and disgrace upon these innocent colored children. This protesting delegation not only stated things that were not but emphasized their animus by making a whole attack on the moral character of colored people in general. All their grievances were "distinguished to carefully by a Board of Education consisting of Republicans, Democrats, Socialists and what not. When they were through the Board gave them the comforting assurance that if they did not want their children to attend the school provided for them in that district, the only thing for them to do was to move out and find some place of district where contact with these children was demoralizing and the future of the whole nation was in actual peril by the contact of white and colored children in the same school. It was a most unseemly proceeding on the part of these proud and superine Savons, Germans, Swedes, Bohemians, Irish and Italians, all of there were no colored children. This was rather a cruel blow to the high hopes and confident air of these "color line" immigrants. The Board simply would not compromise on this question, and thus put a quietus on any further agitation as to separate schools for colored children. In the meantime the occasion ought to interest the colored people to the extent of doing whatever is possible to so improve the general deportment of the children as to furnish no just cause of complaint. Here is an occasion where colored women's clubs could prove their usefulness by co-operating with the parents and teachers in doing whatever can be done to protect Keith School against these periodical attacks upon the child life of the race. The many friends of Amanda Smith will be pleased to learn that she has some prospect of receiving some substantial aid for the erection of a new and model dormitory for the boys and girls committed to her care. This is one of the best and most worthy charities ever founded and maintained by a colored woman. It has been the means of saving many a stranded boy and girl from the perils of a great city. The onward march of events and the changes of public sentiment bring in their trail many a change in human relationships. As before stated in these letters, a few years ago the colored people of this city were provoking restricted in their every effort to purchase or rent decent homes and public buildings. Now owners of very desirable property are ready and willing to make terms with colored people either for rent or purchase. By way of illustration, the notable hall and building known as Turner Hall, on State street, has been offered to colored people for purchase. Up to this time the owners of this splendid property would not even rent to colored people. Your correspondent has been informed that some action is being taken to organize a company for the purchase of this property at a cost of about $6,000. If this purchase is consummated Turner Hall will be a worthy rival of the Sonnet Pythian Temple to be built in the near future. Another notable piece of property on the South Side, known as "Angellus," a ten story structure divided into many small and large apartments, has also been offered to a colored man as a prospective lawyer. This hotel and apartment house is located in a fine resident district on the South Side of the city, and if colored people should become its purchaser and occupy it, it would create consternation among the peaceful dwellers in that neighborhood. What is known as the "City Leaguit" of baseball players, made up of the "semi-rofs" is composed of the best eight of the local teams playing in Chicago. The colored team, known as the "Leland Giants," has the proud distinction of being the third. Last year the "Le- ROY BUTLER PETERIAN CHURCH, NEW YORK land Giants" was the most popular team in the city of Chicago. There was much grashing of teeth among the white teams who were pushed aside to make room for the all competing team, the "Leland Giants". FANNIE BARRER WILLIAMS.

Presiding Bishop, whose visit to the church has been looked forward to with great interest. The Bishop was warmly welcomed and seemed at his best. His visit was a treat indeed. At the educational rally held at Bethel for Wilberforce College $100 was raised. The choir under Prof. Savage and the Sunday school under Brother Batty are industriously working to give good music and a fine program on Easter Sunday. Thomas Draft has returned to his class and the church after a serious spell of sickness. Rev. T. Wellington Henderson, a former pastor of Bethel Church, is expected to take part in the anniversary exercises which occur early next month. Some of the Bethel workers in the Sunday school are as follows: Thomas Draft, William H. Crooms, Walter Van Rensselaer, William A. Green, Edward M. James, Isaac C. Peace, S. P. Boughton, John H.

U. have again been suspended, owing to a revival service being conducted at the church, under the auspices of the deacons and conducted by Rev. Willethre, Rev. Willethre preached Sunday morning. His sermon of Friday evening was of interest because of the fact that he seemed to take opportunity to denounce the modern educated preached. An intellectual and progressive teacher is most needed in all parishes at this time and all discouraging discourses delivered against him should not be given the weight of serious consideration. The juvenile church met Sunday at 11 a.m. The children heard a most inspiring and logical discourse delivered by the pastor. The regular order of church services is followed at this meeting, being adapted for the children's minds. The third anniversary of the juvenile church will occur Sunday, March 29, at which time a special service will be observed. The choir does remarkably well under the direction of Deacon W. H. Taylor.

They consisted of full Marianing Prayer, Litany, Auto-Communication service and sermon. The Kryte reordered at this service was the compilation of Mr. Bolin, the organist, and was said to be a gem. The boys under care never sang better. The sermon to the rector, Rev. H. C. Bishop, was an appropriate to the season. Sunday School and Vesper services had about the usual St. Philip's Church.

Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Brook, of New York, and the Misses Shaw, of Brooklyn. These monthly affairs of the club are becoming quite popular among the social set of Manhattan. Quite an innovation in this city along Methodistic lines, is the fact that Bethel Church has a vested choir much like those to be seen in Episcopal church. The pastor himself wears cassock, cotta and stole; and the men and women have the usual choir vestments. Last night they had a grand service at Bethel. Forming in the basement of the church and led by the choir, the various organizations of the church marched in procession to the main body of the church, where they listened to the church and thenintoned by Rev.

Theme of a Most Inspiring Address —Many Distinguished Persons Attend—Other Good Speakers Present. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 23—An immense throng which packed every available inch of space in the great auditorium of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church assembled last Wednesday night to hear Dr. Hooker T. Washington lecture on "The Advancement of the American People." For hours before the opening of the doors the streets were filled with people hurrying in the direction of the edifice. Standing room was at a premium. He came upon the invitation of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church and its allied organizations, the latter, including primarily the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, the most noted organization of its kind in the country. The committee in charge of the arrangements consisted of Mr. Henry Lassiter, Rey John H. Welch, pastor of the church, and Miss Marie A. D. Madde, president of Bethel Literary Society, Dr. Washington's trimphal reception of 1804 was more than duplicated on this occasion, and his visit, was, all things considered, the most satisfactory he has ever made here. The affair, by reason of the manifest interest taken by the President of the United States, the Cabinet, Supreme Court, members of Congress, and diplomatic corps, took on not only a national but an international aspect. At the conclusion of his magnificent effort, the audience arose amid tumultuous cheers and gave him the Chantanquia salute, and hundreds crowded the rostrum eager to get a chance to grasp his hand and answer questions. Secrets and Incidents Dr. Washington reached the city Wednesday at 4:15 p.m., coming on directly from New York, where he had been speaking in conjunction with Secretary of War Taft and Major R. R. Moten in behalf of Hampton and Tuskegee. He was met at the Union Station by Mr. Cassister's committee, who, in response to Mr. Emmett J. Scott, was conveyed in an automobile to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cassister. At 5 o'clock an exhibition drill was given on 17th street, from M. to Rhode Island avenue, by the entire battalion of the Colored High School Cadets, comprising the four companies from the M Street High School and the Armstrong Manual Training School. The young men in their spiked and span uniforms the military instructor equipped the difficult evolutions called for by the manual were skillfully executed under the general supervision of Major Arthur Brooks, military instructor in the colored public schools, assisted by Major S. Fields and Captains E. Gray, F. Coleman, Joseph Bruce Evans and Rassell Carroll. The "firing" of the battalion was especially well done. Dr. Washington reviewed the drill and complimented both officers and men upon the provision and trace of the movements. At 6 o'clock a military program a summptious dinner was given in honor of Dr. Washington and his immediate staff by Mr. and Mrs. Lassister. The beauty of the table decorations, the dalalty ware and toothsome menu reflected unacceptable credit upon host, hostess and Cutter Emmanuel Murray.

PRECIOUS PICKLE" WILL BE GIVEN AT COURT SQUARE, BROOKLYN April 24, 1908 RS Directed by MRS. E. L. YOUNG Not during the history of the Young Women's Christian Association, 148 West Edd street, has there appeared a powerful and elequent speaker than W. W. Hunton, last Sunday afterward. She spoke on "The Outlook for Association Work Among Colored Women. We have no other colored woman so thoroughly acquainted or deeply interested in the work than Mrs. Hunton. She has for the past fifteen months visited the cities of the South and Southwest in behalf of the national board of the Y.W. C. A. to get an insight into the work of the association. Mrs. Hunton held the large audience, among them representatives of the 16th Street Association and the Brooklyn Branch, spellbound. In a most winning and convincing manner she said in part: 'The association life influences the individual from four standpoints: the spiritual, physical, social, and industrial and educational. Spatial, spatial, spatial, hand, hand with the church and home, physically because of the great need of the training and developing of the bodies of our young, which were left warped by the unfortunate conditions to which our forefathers were subjected; socially, because of its outstretched arm and thrown open doors to the young woman without the protection of home and friends; industrially and educationally, because the pressing day's need for well qualified women is of life. We do not have to do our work as our sisters in white, but often better, to be counted as doing well. But the standard cannot, be too high for us to attain, if we will. "The work among the college associations is among the young people and it is from the trained people that we are to get the leaders for our organizations. We need young people to touch the lives of young people, for it is the sympathetic touch that inspires, leads and directs to the highest things that makelife worth while. Our leaders must be women of culture, refinement and intellectual bearing, with lives good and pure, consecrated to do the work unselfishly." COACHMEN'S WIVES.

On last Friday night there was a bon bon party given by the Milieu Standish Literary Club in G. A. R. Hall. Mimianie L. Anderson has returned from work where she had been since A great musical and literary treat was enjoyed by all who attended the third annual concert of the Lucy Lanyon League. The affair was held at Majestic Hall, in 1230 street, and in every respect reflected great credit upon all identified with it. The program, personally directed by Miss Dora Cole and Mrs. Dolores Durabull, posited positive themes and presented a most intelligent interpretation of Chipin's "Value Brilliantine." In a manner that thoroughly bespoke spring, Miss Bemie Howard, of Dauroch's school of Musical Art, rendered "Springtide." Her encore, "Butterfly," showed that the performer possessed ability. Mrs Joseph Howell, of the public oppoition before a New York audience in "The Famine Scene" from Longfellow's Hiwatha. Possessing personality, voice and dramatic training, Mrs. Douglas could not but hold her audience throughout her rendition. The vernability of the artist was pleasingly shown in the encore. A performance by Mrs. Douglas, Mr. Joseph Douglas favored the listeners with two selections from Coleridge-Taylor, "Gypy Dance" and "I Feel Like a Motherless Child." Mr. Douglas carried his audience with him into the gypy scene and won their sympathy for the motherless child. Justly may we erm him a master, and with his sympathy to the Mauskha, by Wienauski, was also given among Mr. Douglas numbers. Little Miss Cora Washington surprised the house with her singing. Her number was immensely enjoyed and naught could satisfy the audience but a response to the loud applause given her. Mr. Baylon, soloist at St. Cyprian's Episcopal Church, sang well under the circumstances. He was not at his best owing to recent illness, but what he did deserves recommendation. His voice shows the result of good training. Musical abilities built up by Hardy, Burleigh's "Perhaps." As an encore she sang Dunbar's "Dawn" set to music. Her solos were good and her ubrasing intelligent. Dancing followed the concert, and the usual hospitable, social atmosphere no characteristic of the league affairs, prevailed throughout the evening. Music was furnished by the New Amsterdam orchestra. 'Nut sed. Supper was served by Mr. and Mrs. Almstead Frizer and was well directed. The league is doing good work. It is one instance of a colored club raising funds to help a colored school. The Larry Luney School is a long ways from New York, being situated in Augusta, Georgia, but the graduates and many who are not gradates do not fail to turn aside from their own pleasures up here and reach out a helping hand to some of their own, and to others, by organizing like it! The president, Mr. Charles C. Davis, deserves great credit for his faithful service and perseverance in making the league progress as it does from year to year.

The Attitude of the Bishops' Coun- cill and the Age We thank Bishop Walters for the exhaustive article from him which we publish in another column of THE Age today, as he gives us an opportunity to define definitely the position of THE Age as to President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft, the Brownsville order mistake and the principle of reduction of Southern representation in Congress. If there has come any doubt and confusion as to the position of THE Age on these vital questions at bar we wish to dispel them. The Negro people have too much at stake and THE Age occupies too influential a position as a newspaper of opinion, to allow any doubt as to its position to prevail. A careful reading of Bishop Walters' article would mislead many and put THE Age in a false position if we should allow his statement of the case to go unanswered. Bishop Walters is an agitator. Agitators and agitation are good, provided the two have a mutual basis of understanding; that is, when the agitator has a basis in his cause and his forces for agitation. When this is not entirely the case, the agitator succeeds in agitating himself more than he does others. Bishop Walters is of the class of agitators who go with the whirlwind, unmindful that whirlwinds move by right and left gyration and that when the movement becomes too violent a smash-up will be the end of it. We will accept Bishop Walters' statement as to the attitude of the Council of Bishops, as we have no disposition to doubt his word. We have stated it time and again that we believe that President Roosevelt made a mistake when he discharged the soldiers in the way he did. We stand by that position, and in doing so we have been in sympathy with every sane effort which has been made to get the President and the Congress to correct the mistake, but we have not gone into hysteresis over the matter nor lost our head. President Roosevelt in the Warner bill, just introduced in the Senate, goes only a little short of the proposed relief provided for in the Foraker bill. The President shows a disposition to modify his position, and when the bill passes, as a compromise measure, we believe he will approve it. It is human to err; it is devilish to persist in error. As to Secretary Taft, his position in the Brownville order procedure was a trying one. It was issued in his absence by the President, and as showing that he did not approve of it he held up the final execution of it while the President was on the high seas; when he did issue it, it was at the command of his superior officer, disobedience of which would have carried with it his resignation from the Cabinet. In a like position would Bishop Walters have stuck by his chief and promulgated the Executive command, or would he have resigned from the Cabinet. We believe that Secretary Taft acted reluctantly in the whole matter, and we believe he regrets it as much as we do. Secretary Laft's attitude on Southern politics is that held by every leading Republican in the country, all of whom want to see the Southern situation work itself out along the lines of least resistance, within State rights rather than force the state to which a principle would in a given case apply to State outside of the Southern State. A counterintend the place for the right to own and political rights of the State, where all others of our fellow citizens right for them. When a constitutional right has been denied us by the State we have an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Congress has little to do with it. The remedial makeshift do not count with the Supreme Court, which abides by the constitutional warrant and the precedents in a given case. As to the principle of the reduction of Southern representation, we have stated the case over and over; it is a dangerous and pernicious principle, and the Negro who goes in for it would cut off his nose to spite his face. Secretary Tait and the Filipinos Every good American should be proud of the record which Secretary Tait made as Governor of the Philippine Islands, as every Filipino is, because it is one of the cleanest of any foreigner who ever governed an alien people. All of the records go to prove this to be the case. Moreover, every honest Filipino will bear witness to the truth of it. In the Philippine Islands; when American adventurers sought to despoil the Filipinos of their interests in the commerce and in the material resources, in mountain and valley, of their country he placed himself between them and made bold proclamation that the Philippine Islands were for the Filipinos, and that those who did not like that policy of his could pack their grips and fade. Most of them did not have the passage money, and many of them, we are told, are serving long terms in Biabid prison for trying to get the passage money by "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain." They will serve their terms and remember to the end of their days that they ran up against one American in a responsible position in an alien land who refused to allow the weak to be despoiled by the strong because they had the right of conquest on their side to do it. The Afro-Americans in the Philippine Islands will also bear testimony to the fact that, in a situation where there was a masterful and insolent Southern white sentiment, Governor Taft was consistently their friend, and saw to it that they had their just rights, as far as he could do so, and when they were able to reach hips with their grievances, and the Southern bureaucrats in all the parts of the island gave them all of the trouble that they could. In this country and as Secretary of War, with oversight of Philippine affairs, Secretary Taft has persistently urged upon the Congress the enactment of such trade and maritime laws as would enable the Filipinos to properly develop their internal resources and to extend their coastwise and foreign trade. It is no fault of his that this has not been done. His attitude, however, shows his honest and persistent interest in the Filipinos, as well as illustrates his judicial and philosophical attitude of mind. Based on his clean record of good interest in the Filipino people, and in the Afro-Americans residing in the Philippines, is it not reasonable to conclude that, as President of the United States, he would bring to the Filipino problem in the Philippines and to the Afro-American problem in the United States the same catholicity of interest and wise statesmanship? We think so. Temperature Movement The temperance movement in the Southern States, especially in Georgia, which has gained and is gaining much headway, deserves the encouragement of all good citizens. Like the pistol habit, of which intemperance is the inseparable companion, not only in the Southern States, but all over the United States, the drink habit is the curse of the people of all parts of the country. Almost as much money is spent in the consumption of it as in food stuffs, and the wives and children of the drinkers are the main sufferers from it; although the industrial inefficiency which it produces works enormous loss to the productive power of the whole people. It is a toss-up as to whether prohibition of the liquor traffic in the Southern States will benefit the whites or blacks most. It little matters. An evil of that kind becomes chronic and injures the whole people. Hayti and the Haytians Haytian unrest, in the political sense, is one of the standing disturbing elements in West Indian politics. Haytian has just had another alleged revolution. A raft of the opponents of the government were caught and shot. Most of the people shot were intelligent men who should have been able to make a good living without resorting to revolutionary opposition to the government. Men who seek to live by their wits, men who are always restive under the government and laws of their country, and who seek by violence rather than by peaceful methods to correct what they consider abuses of administration, are only half-baked in their intelligence, and when they appeal to violence they usually explode and stoke the nostril of their peers as over ripe eggs. What the Haytians want and should have it, is peaceable, orderly government. The future of it depends upon it. The independence of it, as that of San Domingo, will be wiped out, if it shall not have this during the next decade. Lent We Forget In view of the attempt on the part of certain Negroes, to mute Negro voters to belt the Republican ticket, unless some man is nominated who especially suits the fancy, or convenience of those would be inciters, it is not amiss to advise who some of the incendiaries are; and what they are. There are always, in every movement, a class who follow and a class who lead, and there is always a class that hangs on the outer edge of expectancy. And again there is always a class that assumes leadership for an especial consideration. Senator Foraker could well say, de- THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1908. liver me from my friends; or, to be more explicit, "alleged" friends, and "alleged" applies pertinently and particularly to a few Negroes who are clamoring for Foraker while denouncing other candidates. The men who are the accredited assumed managers of the Senator's political fortunes are Monroe Trotter, Napoleon Marshall, Dr. St. Clair and Rev. Timothy Tice, et al. Now these are all Democrats, and it is quite probable even if Senator Foraker were nominated, although they have professed undying fealty to him, they would desert him and stick to their party—the Democratic party. Trotter is and has been a Democrat—a sion of a Democratic office holder, Napoleon Marshall is a Democrat, and the only position any one has ever had the tenacity to charge him with holding was a petty office in Boston, as a Negro Democrat, and the gift of the Democratic party. Rev. Timothy Tice, too, is a Democrat, though we hesitate to say from principle. No Negro can be a Democrat from principle. And et tu Dr. St. Clair. It is reported that Senator Foraker said recently that Negroes were professing to be for him out of gratitude, but he observed that they all wanted money. We are not advised whether he had these Negro Democrats in mind or not. There are two or three others that belong to this unsavory junta, but there names need not be mentioned for the reason that it is not necessary to run the entire gamut of fakirs. These Negro Democrats even "knocked" and belittled to Senator Foraker, H. C. Smith, the Cleveland Giette editor who has been a consistent and loyal Foraker supporter in and out of season. They even handled the cash and doldled it out while the Cleveland editor was allowed the privilege of being a Forakerite from gratitude. Lest we forget, it is always well to give the persuasion of the Hessian army. The Negro vote will never be led by Negro Democrats. Negro Death Rate The heath and mortality report for the week ending March 14 for Washington, D.C., places the number of deaths there for that period at 151, of which 90 were white and 61, or more than one-third were Negro inhabitants in Washington, this shows a continued increase in the death rate in the colored race, and is very much greater than that of the white race. Now what occasions this large death rate among Negroes of Washington? Why because thousands of them are poorly housed, poorly fed and poorly clothed. Thousands of the race there barely like an existence, and yet they prefer to remain in Washington, only to meet death by consumption and other diseases that result from improper living than to leave that city and go out into the States, out into the country, and live a simple healthful life surrounded by those comforts and fed on the wholesome food which their own hands can make and produce. At the rapid rate Negroes are dying off in Washington because of unwholesome living, a serious problem confronts the race in that city. The Negro death rate in Washington, comparing the white and black population, is rapidly reaching that point where it will be 50 per cent, greater than the white death rate. Washington At the Capitol The great oatment that was given to Booker T. Washington in the city of Washington last week must please every man who believes in sane, sound and conservative leadership. The press despatches inform us that the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, with a seating capacity of 2,000 and a standing capacity of 500 additional, was not only crowded to its doors, but the nearly 1,000 people were turned away, unable to gain admission. All of this in spite of the fact that the tickets of admission were 50 cents each and that Dr. Washington had spoken to an audience of 7,000 people at Convention Hall in the same city six months ago. What a wonderful hold this remarkable man has upon the people of this country. He is one of the best drawing cards on the lecture platform today. If he had the time to give to this kind of work exclusively no man, not even William Jennings Bryan, could bring together such audiences as those face and cheer Booker T. Washington. In spite of the fact that there were distinguished celebrities from the halls of Congress who took part in the Washington meeting last Wednesday night, no man appeared before that great audience whose presence overshadowed that of Dr. Washington, or whose words sink deeper into the hearts of the people in the news than did his in no place in the country does Dr. Washington receive a more cordial welcome than at the nation's capital. The people there never seem to get enough of his splendid, sound and sensible speeches. If Christ Should Come to Danville: In order to make us realize the hypo- syriety of some portions of our Christian civilization fervent preachers of the gospel Recasionally ask themselves and others the question: What would Christ have done if He were in our place? What would Christ say if he were to go South? Certainly he would not speak plainer than the Danville Evening Bee, of Danville, Virginia, about some of the sights he would see there in almost every city below Mason and Dixon's line. The following editorial from the Danville Bee is one of the many signs that are now appearing that a new Christian spirit is visiting the South and this new Christian spirit is not color blind. The editorial referred to is headed, "A, Disgrace to the City," and follows this headline with the following tense and Christian bit of plain speaking: The people of Danville are daily compelled to look upon a harrowing spectacle and one which leads us to doubt whether we live in an age of humanity and refinement or one of barbarism. We refer to the degradation of men, made in the image of God, by driving them through the streets in broad daylight in a drove, bound together with a wire cable like so many wild beasts. What a spectacle for the eyes of woman and children! What a useless and degrading cruelty to men guilty of some trivial offense, it may be! What a reflection upon our Christianity and our humanity! We are surprised that every church congregation, every humanitarian organization and our individual citizens have not been harmed by this barbarism that it has been banished forever. We must share in the shame, every one of us, every day we permit such a relic of barbarism, such a short-sighted and cruel policy to be perpetuated without our active protest against it. The primary purpose of our penal laws is not so much punishment as reformation, and punishment only as a deterrent and a reformatory measure. It is our civic, our humane and our Christian duty to our erring brethren to endeavor to lift them up rather than to kick them down to such a hopeless depth of degradation that only the hand of Almighty God can rescue. Here in the blaze of enlightenment of twenty centuries of Christianity, in a community the overwhelming majority of those Chinese profiteers in the Dynasty are, are we following His precepts in forging chains of degradation upon men who have erred in some trivial matter, committed some misdeedness? Is it justice that the poor, friendless and unfortunate person who has yielded to the temptation to drink, who has committed assault and battery in the heat of blood and is unable to pay the fine assessed for the offense should be compelled not merely to go to jail, but should be paraded before the eyes of the public bound like a wild beast and chained to fellow-prizers, when those guilty of worse offenses, yet fortunate enough to be able to pay or to find some one who has been guilty of the degradation? It is the very essence of wrong and of civic folly, and it is an unappealable outrage upon the uniform. It is a discrimination that cities aloud for reform. Assuming that the execution of the laws demand the imposition of a jail penalty in default of the fine imposed, we doubt the legality of dragging this erring citizen into the blaze of daylight and parading him in chains before his fellow men. If a test of the barbaric custom were made in the higher courts, it would be considered that the custom be invalidated. Then, too, that is the natural and almost inevitable effect of such brutal, such inhuman punishment? Is such treatment calculated to inspire penitence and remorse and a resolve to lead a better life by the victim? No, a thou and times no, with all the emphasis that can be put upon the negative. We are forging chains for life upon these men, white and black; we are robbers without which reformation is practically hopeless and impossible, and we are confirming them in lives of crime and shame, instead of endeavoring to lift them up and make of them good citizens. Is it an everlasting shame that a man overinculde in intoxicants or strike his fellow man? Not for the man who has the means with which to discharge his fine. He may at once return to the bosom of his wife, and the man may be guillier and laser at heart than the poet, weak, errant fellow who is made to pay his fine and is paraded in chains. Every day that the enlightened people of Danville permit this outrage to continue, they are participes criminis, they are responsible for the irrevocable and irremediable wrong upon the citizen and for the foul blot that barbaric law or custom has cast upon our civilization. The chain gang must go. Provide private employment for the men, if desired; employ sufficient guards to secure them from escape, if we will, but strike off the chains of degradation we are daily forging upon them, or make the very name of Christ a by-word and a reproach, and nullify his precepts. How may our churches and our humane organizations lift up the fallen, with a claim gang to drag them down to hopeless, helpless and inhuman degradation? Every day is a commission of the crime anew, and the public conscience must arraign and convict us individually and as a community of responsibility therefor. Away with such barbarism Reports come to us to the effect that a tremendous effort is being made in Alabama to induce a few colored men to attend the Lily White State Convention which meets in Birmingham some time in April, with a view of these men being used merely as cats' paws, that is to give the outside world the idea that the Lily Whites are not against the Negro. We trust no Negro is so low or so much wanting in race pride that he will permit himself to be used in that way by the Lily White organization, one that has treated the Negro worse than even the Democrats in the State of Alabama. ```markdown ``` Tom E.

There is much speculation going the oceans nowadays as to whether Taft will be nominated in the Chicago convention in 2016. All of these instructed delegates from the States mean anything. It now appears that Taft has enough votes to be nominated. Negro vote in the convention is but a small fraction of the convention, and since a majority of the States have a vote, it would be far better for our leaders to get out of the road to prevent being run over and crippled, and go to work to get the plan of action from the political and will rights of Negro in this country.

In politics the American Negro is face to face with a most serious and perplexing situation. Never before has the political situation been so squarely put up to the Negro as now. At this time we make no effort to offer any solutions, or make serious suggestions. There is no use in wading through this situation. The day in this country is "between the devil and the deep blue sea," so to speak. It is "his move," in the great checkered game of politics, if he makes the "right move" to win. He will lose.

There has been a rapid shifting of political sources during the past few weeks, and the news, as chronicled by the big Eastern and Western dailies, seems to bear the prediction that William Howard and Pratt will be the first of the nominal and President.

The state is now the only one of the most popular of the all-leads us up to ask what stand this is? And as we will take the Secretary Taft as the nominee? The Negro, in national contests, is a Republican. He found, and the true to his race, be otherwise. The part of his speech that will be part of the party says Taft, the "No, will you be the Democratic Party," and the "The Democratic Party," as a meme to every inter-governmental party. The Conservator was supposed to be the party. The蔚蓝的湖畔, the blue of the city, is the place, but this paper, to be true to the race, must stand for the Republican party in any contest between that party and the Democratic party, when the differentiating line is not as far as they are to day. If it is Cannon, Hughes, Fairbanks, we favor either and will support the nominee, and like it is Taft, we will support the Republican party as we have always done in national campaigns—there is no conservator. The Supreme Court of the United States declared several years ago that a colored man tried for crime has a right to have colored men on the jury. In the South and possibly in Georgia the jury is not required in the bond has been and is still being ignored. The lawyers who defend colored criminals are as a rule white men. These lawyers take the colored man's money and fail to insist that colored men be put on the jury. The colored lawyers do not contend for colored jurors, and their excuse for failing in this respect is that to do so would arrest the race prejudice of other jurors and even arrest the race prejudice of the jury. This is deplorable and yet it is true. We fear no successful contradiction when we declare, that if colored men wear impartial, unpressed trial, a fair jury, contage of those that are now wearing stripes and shackles would be free men. Colored men on the jury would some-what be impartial, and influenced to join in unjust verdicts, but this the trials would be fairer than at present. Richmond county 'was, we think, the first county in Georgia to have such a jury, and would be glad to see a sufficient number on the juries of our city and superior courts to insure at least one colored juror on every jury that sits in judgment upon a colored man or woman with crime. Augusta (Ga.) Baptist. The time to choose a President of the United States is near at hand. Two candidates are nominated: American politics, upholding the votes of the people. Each party is presenting its claims in the most alluring way possible, in the most return. The white Republicans and the Democrats stand equally divided. The hope of Republican victory lies in the power of the ballot in the hands of the Democrats and the Republicans they follow? Will they follow the party of Lincoln, and Summer, and Garrison and boughless, or will they change from one side to the other over the years that have passed, the paths in which they have gotten all that they know of liberty and freedom and chosen a sample retaliation without address? What injustice has been done the race which now makes it desirous of leaving the party that has done more for the upstart than any agency our country has known? Who among us stand ready to take a position in national politics favoring the desertion of the Negroes of this country, and the Republicanism? That the party have been wronged done the race we know, but the time has not yet come when we, in a national way, can forsake the party which has stood and stood today for all that has happened in the past, the progress of the world. These wrongs done the race must be righted, but they must not be righted in answer to the mad sentence which we may wreck; rather, however wrong it has done, which has made our life of to day. This is no appeal to forget the wrongs that have been done; this is no appeal to abandon the subjection that we look well to the past and to the future. Omaha Enterprise. Some Negroes assert that under no circumstances can they be persuaded to vote the Republican ticket if this man or woman does not vote the Negro as well as the white man to express himself as having a preference in the Presidential race, but we do not allow any minor Democratic Negro should advise us to vote Democratic ticket. If Mr. Taft is nominated in Chicago, Ill., then it should be the duty of of every Negro in the country to vote Democratic with the discharge of the Negro soldiers, we believe that Mr. Taft did all he could possibly have done to prevent the Negro from being issued by the President and not until after the President insisted on it did he have it enforced. Now why should Mr. Taft be blamed for this? Was he the one who insisted on enquiring? What was left for him to do? Had he resigned as Secretary of War it would not have assisted the Negro resignation. But he should even resign this office. He would not accomplish much good for the race. Did he not deal even handed justice out to the Negroes in the Philippines? Did he not see that justice was given every chance to be served in the garden of color? Now some seem to think because Mr. Taft did not agree with the President on the discharge order that he should have resigned and be brother Filipinos and suffer. As he been said by Mr. Taft, his father was a true and tried friend to the Nizozac and Mr. Taft coming from this old abolition stock, must surely lessor these qualities himself. We believe that when Negroes are holding mass postings over the country and condemning Mr. Taft, they are doing him a great injustice. In all cases where he has had an opportunity, he has proven himself a friend to the Negro. Some of his speeches have been intentionally misconstrued, by shrewd politicians. Mr. Taft only believe, as best it is, that the Southern white man can beat be taught to see things as his Northern brother. sees them, by persuasion, and not by abuse. Now we think that if the Negroes think themselves square in the field, and not allow themselves to be lead off on suppositions by the shrewd politician, that it will be a great concern—Little Rock Mosaic Guide. A Correction. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: Permit me a few lines in which to correct your report of my address before the Fifth Congressional League, in Brooklyn. The few lines published in the reporter's language serve to put me in an almost opposite position to that I would have understood. Regarding the Amendments XIV and XVI of Constitution of the United States, I am in favor of the enforcement, immediately, of the Fourteenth, and do not agree with those who believe that its enforcement will in any wise concede the nullification of or non-enforcement of the Fifteenth. I am of the opinion, however, that the enforcement of the Fifteenth, even after some possible future decision of the United States Supreme Court against the "grandfather" laws of the Southern States, will simply result in a renewal of the old shuntage and Kit Klux tactics, which were the most effective in silences, and were fully effective in silences the Negro vote in years long past. S. R. SCOTTROX. Brooklyn, N. Y. March 21st STANDS BY NOMINEE Ex-Judge E. M. Hewlett Says Stand by the Republican Party. (From the Washington Star.) Emanuel M. Hewlett, colored, of the local bar, has come out in opposition to the views expressed by some of the leading colored men of the country who are in favor of bolting the nominee of the Chicago convention. He is associated with a number of other colored men who are going to do everything in their own power to keep their holders in line, no matter who is nominated. In conversation with a Washington Star reporter he said: "I am unable to agree with the many prominent men of my race who advise the colored people of the country to oppose at the polls the nominee of the Republican party, at Chicago if that person happens to be Secretary Taft or any other man who has the hearty support of the President. We must stand solidly for the nominee of the Chicago convention regardless of the man. The Republican party of to-day may not be the Republican party of Garrison, Phillips, Lincoln, Grant and Alonzo Taft, who when Attorney-General under Grant rendered the opinion that "advised Grant to station troops in the South to protect the Negro, still it is the only party that holds out any hope that he will protect" the South will lay its acts of injustice toward him so force the Republican party back to its moorings. We may all have our preferences when we go to the convention, but when it has spoken we should bury all differences and act as one man for the success of the nominee. "It is not the supremacy of the Negro that the Democrats of the South fear, neither is it the ignorant Negro, the worthless Negro nor social equality, but the intelligent North! not Negro domination, but the supremacy of the Republican party. They have exercised violence and fraud of all kinds, are breaking the laws, trampling, on the Constitution, and in most of the Southern States have disfranchised the Negro and are treating him unfairly in the courts, thereby accomplishing by fraud, unconstitutional methods what they fail to understand when they gave their lives to destroy Union. Every Negro vote withheld or cast for any other party than the Republican is really a vote cast for the Democratic party. Where is the hope for the Negro in that party?" COOK NOW SUPERINTENDENT.

PITTSBURG'S HOSPITAL The Booker T. Washington Hospital and Training School a Health. PITTSBURG, Mar. 21. Pittsburgh is to have a hospital to be conducted and largely supported by Negroes, if the plans of those in charge, the movement are approved. The movement are called the Booker T. Washington Hospital and Nurses' Training School, and in connection with taking care of the sick, will furnish a course of training for Negro nurses. It has been already issued and officers and trustees elected. The officers of the association are: Frances S. Tanner, president; Nane Byers, first vice president; Jennee Watson, second vice president; Mayne Frazier, secretary, and some time ago the plant to provide Pittsburgh with a Negro hospital was submitted to Dr. Washington by Rev. Dr. C. M. Tanner, and the noted educator consented to have the institution named the Pittsburgh Woman's System, primarily done toward effecting organizations that will raise funds to promote the movement.

A SPIRIT OF RECONCILIATION Important Suggestions for Consolidation of Elks BOTH SIDES FAVORABLE Dr. A. B. Jackson Offers Timely Advice-Letters of B. F. Howard and G. Grant Williams Speak for Unity of Brethren. Dr. A. B. Jackson, a medical member of the A. B. Arbitration Committee, O. V. Catto Lodge, No. 20, of Philadelphia writes very encouragingly of reconcilation and immediate reunion of Afro-American Elkdom, in his letter to the Philadelphia Tribune March 14th. He has this to say among other remarks: "Let the Arbitration Committee from both orders come together as soon as possible, not for a quarrel or struggle for supremacy, but for a friendly conference to patch up old wrongs and bring about peace in the camp of Elkdom. To please both sides let the Joint Arbitration Committees name the place for holding the next annual session, without regard for the city named in August last by both branches of the order. Such a concession should please both factions, and it should be made to the amount of liberality shown by both sides will the absolute and genuine strength of each be shown. I am for an early reconciliation between the two factions. Let it be before the next annual session. I favor liberality on the part of all concerned. Of course, there will always be a few who would rather remain outside and quarrel, for no other reason than for the sake of a quarrel. A quarrel may be justified and dignified; upon the other hand, it may be mean and ignorant. Let us not attempt to classify this quarrel among the Elks. But let this be said: That a quarrel, once dignified, can soon become anignant and inscrutable, would be justified and juicable reconciliation. Shal. Elks repreent this base sort of a struggle? I leave the answer to every one of the vast herd for answer. "The correspondent of THE NEW York Ace representing the Atkins faction, talks intelligently and with sound sense upon this matter. How easily this might be settled if lett in the hands of just such men as he. Let intelligence settle this question, and it will be settled for all time." A Honest Outlook The hopeful outlook for timely reunion of Afro-American Elldom is very much alive in the hearts of those who desire to see one grand united order of Elks. The writer has striven from time to time to arouse a spirit of reconcilia- tion, which has been crowned with favorable success looking toward reunion at last. Brothers "Will Grant" G. Grant Williams, of Philadelphia, and B. F. Howard, Grand Exalted Ruler of the parent organization, both have written the undersigned most favorable communications relative to reconciliation and immediate consolidation of Afro-American Elkdom. Brother Howard states that he won the verdict of the legal battle instituted at Washington, Pa., on March 4th and that the judge after giving him the decision, requested him and Dr. Atkins to reunite their forces for mutual protection as an order of Elks as soon as practicable. He further states that Brother Atkins agreed with him to adjust the present separation of the fraternity. This, then being true, addgreater the importance of restoring the committee on arbitration to meet in conference at the city and induce such legislation as may further guarantee consolidation. The writer, therefore, most respectfully presents the following suggestions: 1. That the Grand Exalted Rulers request the committees on arbitration to meet in conference at Atlantic City, N. L. in May, 1908. 2. Call a special meeting of the Grand Lodges to meet in Washington, D.C. the first week in July and approve the recommendations of the arbitration committees. 3. Both Grand Exalted Rulers request district deputies not to organize lodges where lodges are organized, while negotiations are pending or while in operation. 4. Each grand secretary to notify every subordinate lodge in their jurisdiction of pending negotiations toward reconciliation and consolidation of Afro-American Elkdom. Invite conservative suggestions and co-operation of subordinate lodges, especially district deputies. 5. Request Elk correspondents to write conservative articles on reconciliation and unity. Renew forth in the public press. 6. Both Grand Exalted Rulers respond the order preventing Elkds of either organization visiting subordinate lodges. 7. Should a special meeting of the Grand Lodges be convened, recommend a convenient place for the Grand Lodge sessions of the renamed Grand Lodge in August at the usual time. I would suggest either Richmond, Va., or Buffalo, N.Y. The writer is not aware whether our Arbitation Committee ever published any statements relative to arbitration. We here give the names of our Arbitation Committee for the benefit of Elk correspondents; Antlers Counsel J. Edward Hawkins, Seattle, Washington; Counsel James James, Ross, 72; Chester Correspondent N. Y., Elkhorn, W. L., Anderson, 226 West Eighth street, Cincinnati, O. Replying to inquiries would say that in Tupi, New York Aor, November 25, 1907, under the signature of the under-signed appeared the following, which so far as we are able to ascertain, is the only article ever published in New York counseling reconciliation up to that date by any member of the offspring fraternity: "After a thorough study of present conditions in the split fraternity we have three points at which our judgment is, is, and is, our largest returns, and now we are conducting these three lines of activity for the best interest of the order: 1. In the interest of unity, let our leaders develop strong centers of activity, so administered, as to stimulate local effort in beha'l united fraternity. to help it grow and continue into vigorous independent life and commanding fraternal position. 3. The policy of the writer is to concentrate efforts which may be helpful over large areas of Elkdom. Our purpose in the past has been to co-operate as far as possible, with the established authorities of Elkdom in awakening a more active lay interest in fraternal matters, in concentrating public attention on our success as an order, its immediate needs, and in organizing local agencies for effective fraternal work for publication." We have, through these columns, reached an appreciable constituency, and we truly hope to reach others in the near future. This endeavor, while touching Elkon reconciliation helpfully at every point, is directed especially toward the immediate consolidation and trialing co-operation. Seeking by all fair means the support and to extend among elkons that type of duty which is best exemplified in the conference of the two Grand Exalted Rulers recently at Washington, Pa.

SMITH REAL ESTATE BROKER 218 West 64th Street Dr. Jerlson on premises Music and the Stage --- THE PERFORMER AND ECONOMY There is in New York City a man who has been more closely associated with the Negro theatrical profession (not to be an actor himself) than, perhaps, any other person in the United States. There is in New York City a place where more Negro performers are wont to daily congregate than any other spot in the United States. John B. Nail, familiarly known as "Jack" Nail is the man, and his business institution, the oldest of its kind on sixth avenue, is the place. At any time during the day if you want to locate a Negro performer just "drop" around to Nail's. If not working you will very likely find the object of your search either in the third emporium setting "em up" or in the billard room playing a "combination in the corner." But it is not the object of the writer to dwell at any length on either the thirst emporium or the billard room. It is John B. Nail who is to be "featured in this article, for he is a very interesting character among, the showmen of his race. Due to his success as a business man for several years he has not found it necessary to stand behind the bar and ask: "What'll you have, gents?" Those days have long since passed. One is sure to find him "on watch" nowadays in his little office, located in the rear of the house. Like all men and women John B. Nail has a certain mania. He has a strongly developed mania for talking, lecturing, preaching and teaching all performers who come within reach of his voice on the subject, "Why the Negro Performer Should Practice Economy." His advice to each and everyone of them (when he likes them) only does not matter, "Why your money." From our big stars down to the chorus men has John B. Nail lectured and talked on economy in that little office of his for years, and in many instances has his talk borne fruit. And the reason he continues to talk, talk, talk is that many of his hearers on the other agree with him, while he lectures, but when they get on the "Gay White Way" forget, such a man as John B. Nail The past winter, presuming that it is over, has been a hard, hard one for the members of the theatrical profession—white and black alike. Whenever times are hard every form of amusement is affected and classed on the absurdity of money is pensive list. The stumbling of money has been the result of many a theatre temporarily closing, which always means many people are thrown out of employment. So the advent of spring with promise of balmy weather and better times is being hailed by hundreds of John B. Nail's disciples with as much glees as youngsters look forward to Santa and Christmas. In the morning, their propounder on the teachings of economy is saying to them in a knowing way, "I owe you." As a rule the Negro performer knows nothing of economies and to save his money is a trait possessed by only a fourth of the whole. As money contends easy it goes be by the money, hard it is, and sickness are never the limit of until they forcibly present themselves for consideration, and, then the consideration is a little too serious. For to be without money and sick is a predicature of the first degree and is allly the performance of those words money: I'm sorry, I ain't got it, you could get it if I had it, but I am all down and out. Many an actor who last season sang the above words while doing a bit of comedy heard them this in which the situation suggested in sage setting more for a tragedy than anything Thousands and thousands of dollars are made each year by Negro performers. In fact the stage is to-day (the temporary presence of hard times being considered) giving the Negro an opportunity to make more money in any other form of livelihood. But his great desire to go big on the stage" which is justifiable and professional, and his greater desire "to go big off the stage" which is idiotic, absurd and unwise, prove ultimately his ambition is too great for him to realize—for any length of time. It is true that he will go big later until it comes from every quarter. To use a John B. Nail expression, $150 weekly wants to live like a performer who earns $200 weekly: that the performer who receives $200 weekly attempts to live on the basis of a $100 a week performer, is aptly able to successfully live in that manner long, yet finds it attempt. A striking performer, the action of some of our performers can be made in the case of David Warfield. American's leading actor, Year's ago when Warfield came to New York he selected, as his eating place, whenever he found he had the necessary financial wherewith, our Child's restaurant. Wealth and fame has not made him want to live like a performer, but he can be found eating at the same old place daily. Economy does not mean parsimony—stimulation. To my mind to be stingy is almost as bad as to possess a desire "to go big." There is such a thing as living within your means. Then, those with whom you spend your money will always be truly glad to see you. They would faz your pocketbook than spend more than you can afford and one we need. And when you are sick your愿望 will be more cordial if you are known to have saved a new egg for a rainy day, than if you come in quest of a loan. You will be more thought of and you will be keeping up a certain dignity which is your position demand. There is no doubt that the hard times of the past winter and the daily lectures of John B. Nall on the subject of economy have made many a recent convert, and that when the birds be on to sing and Comey Island, N. Born in other summer full of life and activity, the theatrical business re-energizes dormant monastic state and | the almighty dollar becomes more friendly and on better speaking terms with the performer, he will show more discretion in the past and will practice—economy. "Four Creole Police" a hit in Europe Backed until 1989. HERMINGHAM, ENGLAND, March 23.—The "Four Creole Belles," composed of Alice Mackay, Georgia Harvey, Lucretia Knox and Sarah Byrd, are making, an enviable reputation for themselves in the vaudeville houses throughout Europe. In most of the theatres where they have appeared they have been the hit of the bill. Their singing is being generally complimented. The act recently closed a successful run at the Coliseum Theatre, London, and is now touring the provinces where it will remain until May, returning to the provinces throughout Russia. Prior to going to London the quartette toured Austria and Hungary for five months. That the "Four Creole Belles" have made good can be readily understood by those who have signed contracts that run far into 1903. Alice Mackay is acting in the capacity of business manager and has joined the Variety Artist Federation, which occupies the same position in England as does the theatrical organization known as the "White Rats" in America. To Ernest Hogan is due the credit for organizing the "Four Creole Belles." FOUR CREOI The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or details. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a group of people standing in a row. Due to the low resolution, no specific information can be extracted from the image. FOUR CREOLE BELLES They were members of his company last season when he carried the best Negro chorus on the road. In March, 1907, he brought them together and started hearsalists. When the show later disbanded in New York City the "Unbeached American" had them booked for Hurtig and Seamons's Museum Hall, where they made their first appearance. Their reception was so enthusiastic that they were compelled to respond several enquiries from them on their demonstration that a quartet composed of colored female singers would be accepted by the public, despite the opinions expressed previously on the part of some to the company. After playing in New York for a number of weeks negotiations were opened through Ernest Hogan with the Marmellini offices to send the net abroad, and after a number of weeks of ducking in, when Anthony Hyel, who is a native of Montevideo, played an instrument part, contrances were signed and the quinty sailed for Cuba for a few days later. Georgia Harvey, who hails from St. Louis, and was for two seasons with the Ernest Hogan Company, possesses a contralto voice that would attract attention anywhere. Her range of voice is such that in the Hogan chorus she could sing with either the contralto, the tenor of the baritone section. Alice Mackay has played the leading southerne role in many of the leading colored shows, appearing the last two seasons with the "Rufus Rastus" Company. She, too, has a contralto voice that is far from ordinary and is a chosen wife of no little ability. Lauretta of the wife of Elwood Kroger of the Indianapolis Poisoners and last season was succeeding Abbie Mitchell Cook. To say that she successfully licked the role previously sung by Abbie Mitchell Cook is saying much. Although the leading soprano singer in the ganization last season, Lauretta, knew only a supply role, Sarah Rivard, who gives promise to be a successful soloist in successively a very sweet voice which she knows how to use and an upper register that has already excited comment. Young Amateur Actors Appear at Reception of Ruth Allen and Mary C. H. Over 200 persons attended the test-mental reception given recently in honor of Miss Ruth Allen, known in theatrical circles as "Raly Ruth, the child actress," and Miss Helen Kemp, both graduated a short time from Grammar School No. 45. The musical program was given by auditioned amateurs who were invited to enter the professional roles some day. Among those who participated were: "Raly" Gibson, who played a piano solo; Rosie Streets, who sang "It's Hard to Love Somebody"; Bessie Wilson, who solo "The Tropical Moon," and Maude Winfry in a song she sang singing "Apple Gideen Apple Jack." Miss Manie Fullet in the Washington Irving High School, played a violin solo. All were compelled to respond to encounters. were cut. After the musical program Dr. James Allen made a speech and presented Miss Allen with a bouquet of flowers. In response Miss Allen made a nice little speech of thanks. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Harris. EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON Sixteenth Anniversary Performance of W. and W. next Tuesday, November Williams and Walker are looking forward with considerable pleasure to their sixteenth anniversary performance on Tuesday, May 31st, at the Majestic Theatre when by popular request they will revive a number of their big song successes and comedy scenes of former years. During the ten days a large number of postal cards were sent out requesting the public to express its preference regarding the songs to be seen received, which indicate the great popularity attained by "Nobody," "Jonah Man," "Don't Like No Cheap Man," "The Hotest Coon in Dixie," "Me and the Minstrel Band," and the dozen or so other big and tall songs sung by Mesra, Williams and Walker. The sale of seats for this performance has been very large. From present indications there will not be a seat left by the audience for performance. Despite Lent, "Rudana Laud" continues to be one of the Broadway hits of the season, and in all probabilities the colored comedians will remain at the Theatre for a number of weeks to come. Smart Net Company at American Theatre the Coming Week. The announced attraction at the American Theatre for the coming week is the Smart Set Co., which comes to us this season as an entirely new production, embellished with beautiful scenery and costumes and new and novel effects. The singing and dancing in this entertainment are well known features, and from the time the curtain goes up until its final fall there is a succession of popular acts, intertwined with famous grand opera. Among the vocalists of the organization may be mentioned Miss Rosa Lee-Tyler, whose range of voice and sweetness of tone is well known. As the singing is a feature of OLE BELLES "The Saint Set" so also is the dancing [The eccentricities of such comedian as S. H. Dudley and James Burris is only made the more entertaining by the graceful and pretty dancing of the women in the game back and wing dances of artists.

It is ostensiated that over 400 people witnessed the play. Those who took part exceptionally well the personnel of the play was as follows. Jophtha, ninth ruler of Israel, Charles Williams; prophet, Edward L. Shepherd; Elpm, Jewish prince; Elijah, prophet; Jackson, Jewish soldier; E. A.

Mass. last Sunday and spent 1 day with the "Unleached American." They found him in much better health than recent reports would have one believe. After remaining at the institution nearly five hours they left the well known comellan in high spirits. "Bardanna Land" Reco. Bert Williams is to try out another new song soon. The title is "Hand Me the Right Now". From the magazine Indications George Walker will be called before long the colored star and vaudier ville manager. "Bardanna Land" is sure to play to standing room next Tuesday evening. It will be a gala occasion and the many friends of Williams and Walker will attend the performance, which will mark the anniversary of their partnership. Abbie Mitchell-Cook has been compelled to quit work again on account of illness. She has not been able to attend a performance this week. Her condition, however, is not regarded serious by authorities. Seibridge Hill, better known as John Hill is thinking of using the plain John Hill on all musical composition in the future. He says he thinks it will give him luck. Jeannette Foster is called the "Bon Bon Buddy Gibson Girl" by the member of the company. Some wanted to nickname her the "Chocolate Drop Venus." "One of the best pieces of work that has been ever done by Alex Rogers is a song to song commencing next week. J. F. Moffat It is called "Conjure Man" and will last about eight minutes. Kristie Jones is ambitious to shine some dots at great cancer like her relative. Aid Hunt is great cancer. She is a very good toe dancer already." MOORE. Young Jessie Shipp who has choreo of the sale of the songs of "Bandanna Land" during each performance of the show is thinking of putting a substitute in his place when the weather gets warmen. He is like "Sirut" Payne a bell-shaped fan. Jen Vangho, the assistant musical director, walked into Hert Williams' dressing room the other evening and told the following story: "The man who sat directly behind me to night handed me a cigar and said, 'Young man, you certainly have some blood shoulders. In fact, they are so broad I can't see the performance.'" Frog, the other Joe Jordan, the boy from home, is an example of what a St Louisian can do on first. Last summer Joe was directing the orchestra at the Bipon Theatre for Cole and Johnson. Later he took to writing songs. When Williams and Walker opened at the Maestro Theatre he was found in the orchestra pit in charge of the music and traps. The other band member in the show was seen rehearsing with the orchestra blowing a cornet. He started out as a violin player on bassist it for the piano. I guess that's going some.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: Those who wish to give fair play may differ about questions of more opinion, but they never differ as to questions of other opinions. The best way to play and are handicapped by other cues. This seems to be to be the best way at least, it is charisable in looking at Mr. Chadwick's attitude except we are going to change his name to Pickwick and so says in a purely Pickwickian sense. Mr. Chadwick has seen fit to inject into this controversy an element which we, out of respect for him, purposely refrained from mentioning, because we thought it reflected seriously yet justly either upon his lack of knowledge of the game or upon his fairness. Either or the other, he has said that he did not yet we rather wished he had not mentioned the fact for we desired to spurn him the distress of all true lovers of fair play. I quote Mr. Chadwick's better in your issue of March 12: "Mr. Robert Lattinate drilled the ball down the court and made a pass resulting in a goal. This statement is incorrect, for there was no pass after that drilled but he opted to pass. He did not positively protest this goal, quoting Spudling's Official A. A. U. Rasket Roll Guide, rule 11, section 15, which states: "A player who has drilled may not score a goal until the ball has been played. That is received and batted or thrown by another player. If the ball is thrown into the basket at the end of a drilled it shall not be scored and the ball shall be thrown. Now that the player did drilled the ball and shoot a goal without pass, it cannot be denied. Yet when our captain protested the referee stated that he did not see where in he was instilled either in penalizing the Smart Set team or having the goal striken from the scores. It was at this point of the game that the argument lasting six minutes took place. Mr. Chadwick made it at this point, I personally came up to him and asked him to take out time, which he pointblank refused to do, but stated that he would give us five minutes within which to resume play or forfeit the game. Now the whole argument only lasted six minutes and as we had been arguing several minutes before Mr. Chadwick made his ruling, both of the five minutes had expired. Hence upon what grounds could we have tolerated the game? Again, as the official length of a half is 20 minutes and time is taken out only by consent of the referee and as the referee refused to take out any time for that argument upon what ground did the referee for us to play 25 minutes. Smart rules to say the best in an allegorical session. It was in this extra and unnatural session of six minutes that the Smart Set solved the four points that put them in the lead and still they tell us we have, no grounds for a protest. Mr. Chadwick says that we opened our protest on poor and ridiculous ground. Now it seems that stronger grounds for an appeal a protest could not be sequestered any team, and less is said with safety against the world interpretation of the rules by the referee. Mr. Lewis only purpose in writing the letter on March 5 was to show that the St. Christopher team did not give an exhibition of the "white feather," but refused to play with it. St. Christopher had acted as a co-presenter. This they failed to do and we decided not to play. That they had a knowledge of our decision. Mr. Chadwick inadvertently shows in the fourth paragraph of his letter of March 12. Mr. Chadwick has always had the reputation among us of being fair-minded and it is indeed to be regretted that he should see fit to rule and to change his position as to lead one to believe that he has joined our friends Crown --- Hats Trimmed; Made to Order at Home and at 65 W. r34th St. Violin, Violinello, Piano, Organ, Harmony, Ensemble Playing, Chamber Music, Orchestra and Classic Music a speciality.

However, for several weeks* past 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 THE AGE it is in a position to get the news about 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 same, which is a courtesy adhered to by our daily papers. We are not averse to articles being copied from THE AGE, but we ask that credit be given to whom credit is due. Mail Box for Performers. Hereafter The Age will conduct a letter-box and its readers throughout the country can address unil to the many Afro-American performers in care of the dramatic department of this paper. Being in a position to know the whereabout of every Afro-American performer, The Age will be pleased to deliver all mailed matter to the proper persons. This step is taken as a favor to the public, as complaints are general that it is a difficult matter to locate the traveling members of the profession.

In the afternoon the pastor, accompanied by his family and choir, with many of the members of the church, went up to the pastor, whome a rally was in progress. Rev. Booker was on the program to preach the ordination sermon of five deacons. This he did, and Judging from the attendance, the pastor, Dr. R. D. Wynn was present and gave the charge to the deacons and the church. The service was a grand one and offering for the afternoon was good. The pastor was a good friend for the evening and preached on "The Fruits of Justification." Miss Napoleon Jones, of Richmond, N. is the guest of her sister, Mrs. M. B.

It was largely attended, many of the political workers of the party were present. All expressed themselves as being well pleased with the appearance and surroundings of the new home of the club. At 9 o'clock the club was filled with people, including W. W. Abbott recorded. Mr. Pyerson called the attention of the members to their new quarters and appealed to them to become more aggressive in the interests of the organization. The position of the Fifth Congressional committees showed that the interest of the club is being looked after from every direction. The wives of the members are becoming interested, and offered their services in helping the club to be more known where the Congressman of the Fifth Congressional District had fought the interest of the Garnett Club in opposing its candidates for places, and it was suggested that the club should use its resources in the coming primary contest in that district. The club will rally its forces in the Eighteenth Assembly District at a special meeting called at 2431 Church avenue, near Redford avenue. W. R. Lawton was unanimously endorsed by the club for a position A well attended meeting of the colored citizens of Flatish took place at the Republican headquarters of the Eighteenth Assembly District to organize a branch of the Henry Hilder Garner Republican Club. The Republican Club was elected president and E. C. Chemoux secretary. There was considerable enthusiasm, and it was unanimously agreed to organize effectually in all election districts where colored men reside. Among the invited guests present were Hon. F. J. H. Knacke present Assemblyman Lee and Goo E. Wilcoxen. Assemblyman Lee urged the men to organize, as did Naval Officer Kracke, who pledged those present that he as executive member of the district treat all men in the district regularly to that he was glad to welcome an organization of that kind in the Assembly District, and that he would do all that he could to assist them in their work. He promised later on to deliver an address on the importance of the district and suggested that they urge the co-operation of all the men in that district. BISHOP WALTERS' LETTER Takes Exception to an Editorial in a Recent Issue of The Age. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE, Please allow me to share in your paper with the editors of the Age. I desire to state the facts about the address to the country of the joint Board of Bishops and the resolutions sent out from the meeting of the ACE. I desire to mention the session in Washington. On the first day of the meeting of the joint Board of Bishops, along with other committees, one was appointed of the Negroes of America. This committee met after the adjournment of the first session and organized by electing Bishop Elias O'Connell, of Mississippi, chairman. The Committee appointed the author of this article to prepare the address to the country. He was assisted by Bishop Gordon, in Bishop Deryck and the address to the address. A paper was adopted by unanimous vote after a change of a few words. If the address is in so very name, as our editor would us have believe, then the radio is not true, let the bishops speak out. Now, concerning the interviews; to the certain knowledge of the writer, there were interviews prepared and given out by Bishops Hoop, Clinton, Harris, Smith and Alstork of the church for his able defense of the dismissed soldiers, and stating that the Secretary was not acceptable to a large, large, large, number of Negro voters. What became of them? How is it that these interviews are not given to the Negro bishops? Bishops Hoop gives his manuscript to Mr. Duney for publication; why has it not been published? What about the interviews of several bishops of the A. M. E. Church that were given out and not received? How can the impression that the Negro bishops are with President Rosseveld and Secretary Taft in concluding the Brownsville outrage. The Ace gives more space and tries much harder to justify the action of the administration that it does not allow of our leave soldiers? Why is this? Why is it that Title Act, which use to claim the right of the Black man and which test ready at all times to strike with a mailed hand any who dared to do, be unfeasible to have been turned ill and become the defender of the traduers of the race? Why those sly and mean flings at Forker, the oldest defender of the race within the last twenty-five years, and the most prominent骑手. New York Traffic The editor may try to host-wink the administration and Republican Congressman, but the pro-voting just and disregarded, resentment on the part of black men that will be felt at the polls, if other President Roosevelt or Secretary Taff, is nominated. How is it in those days? The publication of so much information to our race as the following, can appear in the New York World, but no mention at all made in The New York Act, the great champion, the New York Times, the New York Times will be presented in the Senate permitting Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, who were discharged without home by President Roosevelt, to re-exist on making both that of the party and know of no one who did. In this connection, it is well to read the inscription on the tablet of the Shaw monument on Boston Common. Robert Gould has was a first-in-alone of the state fourth possessions the first colored regiment to go to war. The inscription was written by President Charles W. Eliot: The white officers, taking life and honor in their hands, "per in the short time to be in the same place," and risked death and matters improved in war and redemption if taken prisoners, besides encountering all the common perils of camp, march and battle. When black men were�ed, the Union cause, when disaster chounded the Union cause, served without pay for eighteen months till given that of white troops, faced threatened enslavement. If captured, were brave in action, and were unrestless, were unrestless and were unrestless and the other full amid hardships and privations. Together they gave to the Nation and the world undying proof that Americans of African descent possess the pride, courage and devotion of the path of the United States and the world, and the thousand, each American enlisted under the Union flag in 1985. Of the men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, Some had fought in Cuba, some in the Philippines. Not one, in spite of the efforts of the administration, has been convicted of taking part in the Brown's affair against the governor, but none has been convicted. But innocent and guilty were dismissed from the army in disgrace. Is there not enough justice in Congress to make amends for this discriminating act of injustice to "Americans of African descent," or to "Americans of the African soldier" by allowing them to re-pleist? Again I ask, why is it our entirewhile defender is so silent on this grave matter just now? The people are not deceived. In all parts of the New York Yanker has become an apologist for the traduces of the race within the Republican party. Just think of it, after all that has been done by committees appointed by the president, prove one of the Negro soldiers guilty, thus far not one has been proven guilty; still our good and just President comes forward and boldly proclaims that the Negro soldiers are army when they prove themselves innocent. And, strange to say, the ACE stands off and shouts: "Good, good, grand man! What a fair man! What a grand man! What a shade of the men, what has come over us, and how has the Mighty ACE fallen!" The saddest and most disagreeable thing about the whole affair is, that whenever black men, like bishops, ministers, professional and business men who are in a position, because not dependent on the white man, undertake to speak out or act in a manner necessary to promote the lethargic Republican party now in power with both House of Congress, to act in the interest of the the rewards and the penalties of the party, to manage the managers of the party on the back and tell them to pay no attention to the negotiators, that they have no following and that the Negroes are satisfied and that ninety-nine per cent of them will be Republican. The unmistakable party has looked on with indifference, while we, their black allies, were being disfurbished in the South in violation of the Federal constitution, with no representation in Congress or State Legislature, and all parts of the South –in the face of all of this, soft words are being spoken to the unmarginal and assurances given of a contented Negro constituency. Our selfish office-holding class has worked our undoing, many of them caring more for their personal gain than for the rights of the race. Their cry has ever been and now "where at the end and down with the distrust." But, gentlenen, the game is up; you can no longer stem the tide of the rising independent spirit of the manly young Negroes who are forging to the front. As Republicans are we to say nothing of the indifference to the race in its last National platform. We are tired of the negative position of our own party; we want it to take a positive and aggressive position in our favor. Gentlenen, we are not to be the victim of your boast and crowds of bolting to the Democratic party. We are in this fight to a finish, and no intimidation will drive us from our position. To all cringling and selfish politicians we are saying, get out of the way and be us force the issue and get the recognition that our voting strength merits.

There are thousands of Negroes who will never vote for Secretary Taft, for president of the United States of War means a vote for President Roosevelt, and rather than do this they will remain away from the polls. With a question of policy but one of principle Let the President send in another message to Congress requesting that a bill be passed to allow him to re-institute the demissed soldiers on their taking of the gunpowder in the shooting up of Brownville, for the Negroes will not be satisfied with anything less than this, and they will consider his candidate. Let Mr. Taft say in his speeches and prose to use this bill to have Congress do what he has to have Congress do what is declared ought to be done for the Southern Negro in the Ohio platform, namely, reduce Southern representation in Congress. He has political rights of the American Negro in every State, believing as we do that his marvelous progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and the encouragement of the nation that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone are unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land; we favorgress and the Electoral College in all the States of this Union where white and colored citizens are disfranchised, to the end that the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is introduced according to its letter and spirit. A similar plank was put in the National platform for years ago, and over the following endorsed by the people who President Roosevelt was elected, and still nothing has been done. ARE THE PRESIDENT AND HIS SECRETARY OF WAR SINGER? If they are sin's core, why wait any longer in this matter? Congress is still in session; the President is surely in favor of Education, for we have been told that the Ohio platform was all best prepared by him, sent red hot from the White House to Columbus, Secretary Taft must be for it, for he is a self-served controlled the convention and was endorsed by it to be the normed of the Republican party for the President. What does all others mean? And this matter the President and the N.A.E. of War must be done, or dishonest, sin or not, or insincere. By declaring for reduction of representation they mean our good or are giving us a lot of time come, which, which, which? If they are sincere, let them proceed at once to have legislation enacted by Congress to become Southern representation. I notice that Secretary Tatt, in his speech last Monday night, in his Lincoln in the Plymouth Church, says a lot about the injustice of the little about the injustice done to the black man. And when he does speak of disfranchisement, it is always to smooth over the wrong done by the South to its own advantage. But the more that speech to find the remedy suggested by the Ohio convention - reduction of Southern representation. I have here before been against it, but after more seeing that the Republican party will promise nothing but that, I am now enthusiastically for reduction of southern representation. Of the majority of the South to its own advantage, entirely disfranchisement, then it is rank injustice to the race and the Republican party to allow the Democratic party of the South representation in Congress to which it is not entitled. A. WALTERS. May Disband Militia. PROVINCE, Mar. 16.—A commission consisting of Col. Mattheson, First Regiment; Col. Mulhearn, Second Regiment; Col. Warfield, Maj. H. L. Manchester and Adj. Ralph S. Hamilton, Jr. has been looking into the affairs of the company for some time and has unanimously recommended that the company be disbanded. It is said that the company is lacking in discipline and has been generally deteriorating for some time and there seemed to be no hope of improvement. There have been colored soldiers in the Rhode Island State militia since the War of the Rebellion, and at one time the colored troops formed an entire battalion of the State militia. It was well offered to the commanders of the colored soldiers. The command was at that time known as the Third Battalion, R. I. M. Later the battalion was reduced to two companies and finally to one company. In the days of the late Capt. Robert W. Blunt, the colored company compared with the other companies of the militia. The entire disappearance of the colored men from the militia, will be a matter of regret in many ways. The story to the effect that the efforts to disband the colored company were in any way actuated by a desire to keep colored companies in the army was denied by militiamen to-day. The citizens of the city will hold a mass meeting to protest against the disbandment of the Colored Home Cisco was held at the Old Ladies' Home last Friday. Rev. C. P.
