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. The invited guests who witnessed the drill and to meet Dr. Washington, in Boat, the Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Worch, Mr. and Mrs. W. Hobey Pitman, Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Cyril, Mrs. Marie D.

He made a happy speech, expressing his sympathy with the progress of the Negro race and declaring his belief in a civil citizen whatever his color, the full enjoyment of all the rights and privileges guaranteed to any other class of citizens. Congressman Campbell followed in a similar strain, and both received enthusiastic ovations. Besides these addresses and that of Dr. Washington, the program included some splendid rendered musical selections by the Lyric Orchestra of Howard University. The church was attractively adapted in the American colort. Dr. Washington, the beauty and cleanliness and delightful order that characterized the capital city of the nation and spoke earnestly of the pleasure it always gave him to visit Washington and to meet so many good friends and come into close contact with the machinery of the grandest government under the sun.

The Negro people have too much at, stake and Tur Ace evcupies too influentialea position ax a newspaper of opinion, to ‘allow any doubt as to its position to prevail. A careiul reading &f Bishop . Walters’ article would mislead many and put THe Ace ina fale position if we should allow his statement of the, case to go unanswered. Bishop Walters is an agitator. Agita- tors and agitation are good, provided the two have a mutual basis of understand- ing: 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 gyra tion and that when. the movement be- comes too violent a smash-up will be the end of it, We will accept Bishop Walters’ state- ment as to the attitude of the Coufeil 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 dis- charged the soldiers in the way he did, We stand by that position, and in doing 30 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 | gone into hysterics over the matter nor | lost cur head, President Roosevelt in’t the Warner bill, just introduced ‘in the | Senate, goes only a little short of the | proposed relief provided for in the For. | aker bill, The President shows a dis: | position to modify his position, and when | the bill passes, av a compromise measure, we ‘believe he will approve it, It is | homan go Grr: it is devilish to persist in error, i As ty Sceretary Tait, his position in! the Brownsville order procedare was a trying ene, 1: was bated in his absence | by the President. and as shawing thyt he did not approve af it he bet ap the | final exsention oof AGhifer the President wac on the high seis: when ine did isstee ft, it was at the command vf his superior officer.

It is ne fault ef hig that this has not bees done, His attitude, however, shows his hisnest_ and. persistent interest in the Filipinos, as well as illustrates his judi- cial and philosophical attitnde of mind.” Rased_ on his clean record of good interest inn the Filipino people. and in he AfrosAmericans residing in the Philippines, is i not reasonable ta con- chide 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?

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 Democfatic party. Trotter is and has been a Democrat—a scion ‘of a Democratic office halder, Napoleon Marshall is a Demoerat, and the only position any one“has ever had the temer- ity to charge him with holding was a petty office in Boston, as a Negro Demo- erat, and the gift of the Democratic party, Rey.

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. Toadwell, Arnold, a messenger, Curtis Mullen; camp guard No. 1, William Henderson; camp guard No. 2, Gilbert Johnson; Iphigenia, Jophtha's daughter, Miss Ivy Cole, Ada, daughter of Elom, and friend to Iphigenia, Miss Helen Gan, and friend to Ephigenia, Miss Helen Gan, Miss Mrs. Pisel Johnson, widener of Gilend, Mrs. Lilion Higgins, Mrs. Z Freeman, Miss Lilian Harper, Miss Elena Randolph. The play was given under the direction of Mr. J. A. Upset. Ernrat Hogan Visited by Friends. George W. Walker and D. E. Tobias visited Ernest Hogan at the Massachusetts State Samaritim, Rutl. E. 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.

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.

ATTEN RAYMOND JOHNSON. EDITORS TAKE NOTICE At a large expense THE AGE is conducting a dramatic page for the benefit of the theatrical profession and its renders. 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. "It has come to my ears that you are calling me 'the governor'" said the old man, steadily. "Are you?" "I might well admit it." said the young man, contritely.

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? 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.

Macy Re Massage. 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. 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. Cole of Rother Church, officiating, Mr. Giltert Walker Warren, a resident of the city, buried last Sunday.

New Haven, March 25—James Adol- plus Fuller, letter carrier, was found in a balcony at 63 West Main street, New Haven, March 16th, with this threet body badly injured.
