Says Bishop Wesley J. Gaines at 91st Session of the Baltimore Conference Several Ministerial Organizations Pass Resolutions Condemning Act of Congressman Helfin—High School Commencement Speakers—Promotion of Mrs. M. E. Fennel of the True Reformers—Social Notes of Washington. WARHINGTON. D. G. April 15. The first announcement of the Baltimore Conference of the A. M. E. Church was in session last week at the Metropolitan A. M. Church with Bishop Wesley J. Helfin of Georgia, as the presiding officer in attendance and the proceedings marked by an impressiveness in meeting with the lofty mission which the Society of Bishop Helfin thanked President Roosevelt for the strong letter instructing the Department of Justice to take action to enforce law requiring Southern railroads to provide equal accommodations to white colored passengers for the same fare, declared himself as unalterably open to the agitation looking to an amendment to the republican party for a single grievance against the board chief executive, and regarded the movement toward the Democratic party as unwise in the extreme. The Democratic party is showing no interest for our presence and is constantly exercising itself against every civil and political right that has been given to us by the Republicans. In his opinion, the next President of the United States, and no matter who he may be, he will poll practically the full strength of the Negro vote of the nation.

Tyler, approaching its third installment in the Colored American Magazine, in which read by Washington literateurs who have thought in the interest the thought is full of fine philo- sophy, and the sentiment is beautiful and inspiring. The theme, dealing with a sequence of Arabia, is virgin soil for a large author, but that the ground is being fully covered is readily attested by those who are following the tempestuous path of Arabic literature, and the characteristic of "Arya" through the masses of a love that could neither sin nor run smooth. Mr. Tyler's story, truly a poem in prose, is far out of the ordinary in point of merit and style, and should be read by every lover of choice literature. Mr. John H.

Address THE NEW YORK AGE PUBLISHING CO. 7 & 8 Chatham Square NEW YORK CITY SONS OF VIRGINIA The pulpit of the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, was filled by the Rev. H. H. Pinckney, presiding elder of the New York District of the A. M. E. Church. The occasion being Palm Sunday the principal thought was the observance of the day and to this end Rev. Mr. Pinckney preached an eloquent and scholarly sermon. In the evening the annual sermon was preached to the Auxiliary to the Bons of Virginia by the pastor, A. R. Cooper, D. D. The last quarterly meeting of the church was held in the lecture room last Friday evening and the reports from every department were most satisfactory and encouraging. The numerical strength of the church has been greatly strengthened under the present pastor, Rev. A. R. Cooper, while the spiritual condition is at its height. The financial condition is such as warrant the belief that the condition of all indebtedness save the parsonage, but with a balance to the account of the church. Their recent fair was a signal success financially which fact was due to unselfish harmonious zeal and cooperation on the part of the membership who for the cause in which they engaged was able to differences and worked with unifying energy for its success. Brooklyn Politica. In view of the apparent division in the colored vote throughout the country and owing to the various methods or remedies sought by the leaders to relieve the situation, W. R. Lawton writes as follows: "No one disputes the right of the Negroes to choose as to the policies and candidates of political parties, nor between the rival candidates of the party with which he affiliates; neither to condemn nor approve the action of the officials of the government. But his situation is such that what is his right might not be what is his right not to be friends, by certain intertwined relations, are coming so close together in thought and feeling that his interest is best conserved by tactfulness rather than by force. In the general concession that the Negro vote will be a determining factor in the election, the Negroes' bitions for race leadership and political prominence are conferring and claiming to represent the Negro population of the country. Some of these men are orators, writers and high churchmen. In their aperses they serve well, but when they presume race leadership because of their writings and high church office, they take what the people have not granted.

Chicago Press Stirred Over the President's Action—Neighborhood Improvement—Dr. Washington Entertained. CHICAGO. April 14.—President Roosevelt's action in calling to account the railway companies in the Southern States because of their searing treatment of colored passengers has awakened a widespread feeling of interest among the colored people of this city. HON. CHAS. W. Unanimously elected by the recent State Council to the Chicago Many of our folks are taking heart because of the President's action to put an end to the mean discriminations against colored passengers traveling through the Southern States. There is perhaps no one thing that has caused so much bitterness of feeling among intelligent and self-respecting colored people as the "Jim Crow" our abolination. In the opinion of our leading men and women travel between North and South will be greatly increased when these exasperating indignities are done away with. It is a well-known fact that thousands of colored people living in the Northern States at least, cannot be induced to go South for any purpose, while the con ditions of travel are such as now exist and have existed for the last twenty years. It appears that the railway companies so easily yielding to white public opinion in the Southern States have turned a deaf ear to all complaints that have come to them from colored people. The conduct of the railway companies in the Southern States has not only been contemptible and irritating in the extreme, but from the viewpoint of profit, all companies have not met the standards of the railway continued indifference to the many just complaints. If President Roosevelt succeeds in making the railway companies treat colored passengers as they treat other American citizens, said companies will find that their earnings are vastly increased. Not only the colored people are stirred up by the President's action, but the Chicago press has been discussing the matter in such a way as to indicate that the white people of the North are surprised, and for the first time seem to realize how meanly the colored people have been and are treated on all the railways in the country. The people of Chicago seemed believable that colored men and women of intelligence and refinement have been so skilled to pay first-class fare and submit to what is really worse than W. ANDERSON Convention as alternate delegate-at-large to Convention. third class accommodations. The ordinary privileges, such as sleepers, during care, free lunch, counter service, and railway convenience, have one and all been denied to colored people with a fierceness in their world of common justice that are without a parallel on the part of railway service in any part of the civilized world. The following editorial from The Chicago Evening News fairly indicates the general interest in President Roosevelt's election. President Roosevelt has called for (Continued on page 2.) Girls PALM SUNDAY SERVICES IN MANHATTAN CHURCHES Special Sermons, Inspiring Music and Large Congregations in All City Churches ELOQUENT SPEECHES AT ST. CYPRIAN'S CHAPEL Elaborate Preparations for Easter Sunday Services—Rev.

At Abysinia Baptist Church the revival services continue with great progress. There will be a large baptism held at the church on Easter Sunday, at which time special services will be held. The Sunday school was largely attended, over 200 being present. There was a rehearsal of the Easter music, which was very successful, showing that remarkable effort has been expended in this direction. The accompanists were Mrs. M. Morrison, piano; Mr. W. H. Taylor, violin; Mr. W. Hicks, cornet; Mr. C. Crippen, violin. The children's church was well attended. A special sermon was delivered by the pastor, W. H. Holder, his text being "Palm Sunday."

Holder installed the officers of the British Colonial Society in their hall on West 100th street. St. Cyprian's Chapel. Palm Sunday at St. Cyprian's Chapel was the biggest day even at the church the past Winter. The church was crowded to its fullest capacity, not even standing room was to be had at the morning or evening service. The morning preacher was the Rev. Mr. Bishop, secretary of the Church Institute for Colored People, on account of the people he spoke to a most encouraging talk on the great amount of worthy work that had been done throughout the United States in behalf of the colored population and was very interesting. The Sunday school was largely attended and is in a most progressive spirit. Special music was rendered the day before. Easter music promises to be the best heard at this chapel. At the night service the Superintendent of the City Mission Society, Rev. R. D. Kimber addressed a large congregation. He was greatly pleased with the parish and the work accomplished and the people glowing with joy. St. Cyprian's He address concluded one of the most successful Sundays of the present Lenten season. Palms were distributed at the services to large numbers. Bethel Church Owing to the illness of the pastor, Rev. Reverend G. Ransom, the 80th anniversary sermon was not delivered at Bethel A. M. E.-Church Sunday morning. Vice-President R. D. Stinson, of parish priest of Maryville, Missouri, delivered a most stirring sermon. The attendance was unusually large and the collection was very good.

The following persons are appointed as the committee on Easter decorations: Mrs. Louisa Greenlee, Mary Hopkins, Mrs. H. Clayton, Sister Loppe, Mrs. H. Clayton, Sister Elizabeth Johnson, Kate A. Bradford, G. S. W. Batty. As has been the custom for the past two years, Palm Sunday was rigidly observed last Sunday at Mother Zion Church by a splendid sermon appropriate to the occasion, by the pastor, and the distribution of palms. The handsome palm was a remarkable gift which afforded an invitation to the sermon his discourse upon the strewing of palms nearly 1900 years ago by the populace on the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The Rev. Geo. J. Joyner occupied the pulpit at the communion service in the afternoon, and delivered an earnest and forcible sermon commemorative of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the partook of the sacramental supper. Dr. McMullen preached a fine sermon in the evening to a splendid audience. Special Easter music has been prepared by Mrs. Minnie Johnson, the organist and directress, with Prof. Geo. Johnson's orchestra and Prof. Geo. Hume Johnson's choir, Dobbilh Thomas, scolloists, as the features. Another feature will be introduction of the Junior Easter Lily Club, which has been especially trained for this occasion. The choir will be a special excursion. The board of steward will arrange for a special Easter dinner. Sunday, April 25th, will be used as a testimonial rally for the benefit of the pastor, Rev. James M. McMullen, who has rounded out four years of creditable pastoral work in this great metropolitan city. Dr. McMullen's services as a partner of the church will be a credit, not alone upon the church itself, but also upon all the ministers of the city by an unattornished record, high Christian principal and his interest in the welfare of his people, irrespective of denominations. If all predictions come true, he will be honored by the general congregation and will be philanthropic next May, with the portfolio of secretions of missions, an honor he will deserve. Next Sunday evening Dr. McMullen will preach a specially prepared sermon on "Ruth and Boaz, a Bible Love Story." The spacious home of Bishop and Mrs. Walters will be thrown open to the public for the first time on Wednesday evening. The recital will be given for the benefit of the foreign mission work, in which Mrs. Walters is so deeply interested. "The Greatest Need of the Hour" was the subject of the address by Rev. D. W. Wisher at the Young Women's Christian Association. Much enthusiasm was shown by the speaker and the audience felt inspired by his good advice. The Rev. Geo. W. Moore, field missionary of the American Missionary Association, gave a few words about the importance of afternoon Professor William H. Perris will address the association and Mr. SERVICES BETAN CHURCHES Sing Music and Large Con- All City Churches AT ST. CYPRIAN'S CHAPEL For Sunday Services—Rev.

Subject, "The Freewomen of Salvation." The Sunday School and the B. U. men at the same hours with good attendance. A 8 o'clock pastor delivered a soul-stirring sermon. Miss M. E. Johnson and Miss M. Dandridge are still very ill. On Wednesday evening of last week occurred the annual corporate congregational meeting of St. James Presbyterian Church, Manhattan. The reports from the various departments showed the church to be in a most flourishing condition. Elders B. Haynes and Albert S. B. Haynes and Albert serve three more years. Mr. W. Moore and J. W Tully were elected deacons and will be ordained in the near future. The meeting which takes the form of an extensive review of the church year, revealed a fact most pleasing to all, that the parish is in a most peaceful and prosperous condition, with absolute harmony prevailing in all departments of the church work. Two impressive sermons were delivered by the pastor Sunday to all the congregations. Mrs. Lauraura, of Savannah, Ga., is in New York beginning the hair dressing trade at Mine. Mason's establishment, 41 West 135th street. The Satterfield pharmacy, at 1791 Third avenue, near 190th street, is the only drug store in the city owned by an Afro-American. It has been doing an increasing business since 1808. The presiding officer and manager, Dr. William E. Payne, is a well-trained drug clerk at 92nd street and Lexington avenue for 14 years. Mine. A. Mason, of 41 West 135th street, has returned to the city after an extensive business trip South. Mrs. Lottie Meredith Cooper, of 321 West 135th street, has returned to the city after having spent six very delightful weeks visiting her old home, Chicago. While there she was the recipient of more than a thousand awards, she has been accorded any visitor in recent years she was always a great social favorite with both old and young people. Mrs. F. D. Alston, of 236 West 134th street, entertained at tea on Tuesday Mrs. E. L. Aaron and Mrs. Theodore Reed. Mrs. G. Vogelsang, of Charles street, courtship with Mrs. Benjamin Y.

L., and attended services at Zion Church, of which Rey R. H. Ottley is pastor. Sunday afternoon the auditorium was well filled, the occasion was "Teacher's Day," in charge of Miss Dora Cole, teacher in public school No. 2. Miss Cole taught English and spilt among the teachers of New York and vicinity to let the public see and know them and know they have ability outside of the text-book. Miss Cole paid a tribute to the pioneer of Negro teachers in the public schools of New York City. All honor to Miss Elizabeth Frazier for the fighting course which it possible for someone before you to do as a small representative of the colored teachers of the city. Miss Panline Turner, of Public School No. 2, played a piano solo with much skill. A soprano solo by Miss Martha Johanson, of Stateton Island, was pleasing. The paper, "Physical Culture," by Mr. Gerald Norman, was apt and concise; soprano solo by Miss Sarah Balley, of Brooklyn, was good; Miss Cole's rendition of Dumbar's "Ode to Ethiopia" needs no comment; Mr. C. Norman's paper on Theodore shows him able to handle the subject and is strongly in sympathy with boyhood; a violin solo by Mr. Harding was a treat. Dr. Bulkley, principal of school No. 80, spoke at length on "Determination, grit, love for doing things which count." We would add that Miss Cole and the Norwegians are teachers in summer schools as well as winter, also night school. Diversity Reading Circle.

Craig resisted with telling effect "the Famine": Mrs. Harry Williamson sang a solo with words from Longfellow, then followed the speaker of the evening, Miss Cordelia Ray, who read an interesting paper on a subject of works.

The public should know that five of the men who signed the said article have been expelled from Mount Olivet Church by a practically unan- nious vote in the largest business meet- ing held in the church since I entered upon its pastorate. Notice of the men who are attached to the article is able to compose the said article, hence it is in the production largely of a paid agent. "The hand is the hand of Beam, but the voice is the voice of Jacob." The unblinking lies and reck- less misrepresentations in the article, while not impossible to the signers, can be explained in part by the fact that the members of Mount Olivet Baptist Church and never attended any of the meetings he attempted to describe. We would not condemn to notice the article were it not for the fact that some people might conclude that the expelled parties told the truth, if they are not contradicted. Permit me to say, Mr. Editor, that the article is a tissue of lies from beginning to end, and it is illogical to assume among themselves to use every possible means to evade the truth and deserve the public. I shall not attempt to answer all the factshoods and misrepresentations fathered by Jackson and his associates, for the permanent council of our denomination has passed upon all the matters they have mentioned, and they have lost the fight every time. Dr. Gilbert and his associates were sustained in every contention they made. The church, by a vote of more than 4 to 1, sustained the findings and recommendations of the council and proceeded forthwith to make an example of the heartless and wicked men, who for six years have been expelled from church, by expelling them forthwith from the church. The lawless disposition of these disturbers of our peace can be best understood when we call our attention to the fact that immediately after the church had voted 273 to 90 to submit all the dissenters to the administration and adjudication of the permanent council, these parties held a meeting in True Reformers' Hall and planned with their misguided and lawless followers to have a number of them go to the church on the morning of February 2nd and to the surrender State of New York, to prevent the pastor from performing his duties. And now they are whining like whipped babies because we had the fore-sight to appeal to the civil powers to subdue their riotists and criminal disposition. The believers led us not in favour of the surrender State of New York, not in favour of Jesus Christ and in the worship of their Maker, but with the sole purpose of preaching their pastor, from preaching. Men and women who could thus abuse the house of God and take His holy blood anywhere in a Christian church. At least there is no room for them in a Baptist church. It is a lie to say that the judge in the magistrate's court discharged them. On their lawyer's plan that "these people are ignorant and did not know what they were doing," the magistrate discharged those who were mere dupes in the affair, and did not offer offensive ones under bonds to keep them away. In the article referred to another lie was told when it was said that the business meeting that refused to accept our resignation was too disorderly to properly count the votes. The vote was orderly and the disorder broke out only when the disorderly element saw their overwhelming defeat, having been able to represent their officers in representing Dr. Gilbert as saying he never in all his life saw people so anxious to receive their pastor's resignation. After Dr. Gilbert had tendered his resignation X. W. Jackson offered a motion that it be accepted, and it was then that Dr. Gilbert made the statement to Mr. Jackson that he never knew of a pastor's resignation being used up. He tendered, and declared that it was a matter that the members should have time to think over. Mr. Jackson say the propriety of Dr. Gilbert's point and forthwith with- drew the motion. It is true that a few—and they were, comparatively few—indeedly applauded the decision of the council, but not the lack of no particular charge at the few who did it, and our heart in pity uttered the prayer: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." They will doubtless now with some relish recall the injustice of the council's decision: "He laughs best who laughs last." The lawlessness of these parties can also be seen in their appealing to the courts before the council could meet, and even after withdrawing their first suit and submitting their unrighteous cause to the council they again appealed their courts and recommendations to the church. They have lost in every vote they had made in the church, they lost their cause before the council, they were defeated in their rious conduct on February 2nd, and they have been defeated in their appeal to the court for a temporary injunction to restrain me from my legitimate functions. We shall defeat them in their appeal for permanent injunction to restrain them also. They will court to restrain them to membership in Mount Olive Baptist Church, but, as we are writing this, our attorney rang up over the telephone to inform us that our enemies have lost this fight also. They are losing in the earthly courts, and will continue to lose in them, because the Supreme Court of Heaven has decided against them already, and the Supreme Court of Heaven's decision with regard to a church of Jesus Christ. These men are strangers to the Court of Heaven, but our cause is committed to it, and "the Judge of all the earth will do right," despite all the machinations of Jackson, Wells, Halloway & Co. We give ourselves no concern any more and are in the church is now at peace since their removal, and root and raciality will no longer be tolerated in the church. After the fight is entirely over the only man fighting under the banner of the enemies of our cause that should be congratulated in their lawyer because of his augmented bank account. We congratulate him not. "DAVID'S LAMENT." Fine Cantata Rendered, at a Jersey City Church. JERKY CITY, April 16.—Rev.

PORTON, April 14—One of the most remarkable and dramatic scenes ever enacted by colored men before the Massachusetts Republican State Convention was one of the features of last Friday's convention. The Taft factions and anti-Taft Negro factions falling of a compromise were forced to fight it out on the floor of the convention with the result that the Taft forces with Mr. William H. Lewis, head of the Naturalization Bureau for Boston, as sponsor, defeated the anti-Taft candidate for alternate delegate-at-large to the Chicago convention, Mr. Charles W. Williams, clerk of Boston's Juvenile Court. Mr. Lewis, gooded to an open fight as the last resort because of the campaign of abuse and vilification by the Colorado Republican League and the local Negro Democrats who have been "breaking in," first had the name of the, anti-Taft alternate struck off the slate; this failing and on nomination of Dr. S. E. Courtney by Mr. W. H. Wordson, of Cambridge, and Mr. Williams by Kec. I. J. Collis to have made cause and uncomplementary references to his principles as a Negro and politician, took the platform and declared that no, because his opponent was a Negro but in spite of the fact that he was a Negro, he must say that this gentleman was not the one to go to the convention of the Negro race. The eloquent speaker created the sensation of the convention by his thrilling, reluctant words and we are told by those high in authority the Taft forces accordingly, want solidly for the slate, thereby insuring the delict of both colored candidates. Mr. Lewis was roundly applauded by the colored men, and Williams followed in his own defense and brought down the house with his humorous speech. St. Mark's Union listened to an able order and most interesting address delivered by Mr. G. W. Harris Sunday afternoon, subject of the address, "The Requisite Qualities of the Next President," the address given quite a live discussion and presentation quite a live discussion. Those taking part; Messrs. C. S. Scales, W. O. Taylor, Smith, Clement G. Morgan, R. Henry, J. Collis and Hon. W. H. Lewis. In spite of the fact the Union has had redhot discussion every Sunday afternoon yet we feel safe in saying the discussion following this address was one of the liveliest, most intense of the season. After extension of time yet clamoring for permission to speak. Several advocated William H. Taft as an eligible candidate for the next President.

The so-called "Jim Crow" cars in which Negroes are required to ride, very commonly are miserable makeshift boxes, ancient, filthy, and to the last degree uncomfortable. Yet colored passengers are charged as much for this sort of transportation as white passengers are required to pay for passenger泊务. The Federal Government should put a stop to this shameful injustice in all interstate passenger traffic. "No reader of 'The Souls of Black Folk,' by Prof. DuBois; no observer who has traveled below Mason and Dixon's line, requires to be told that cruelty is practiced on not a few men and women who have been in the dark, the indecent curs in which some Southern railways hood their colored passengers. Feeble women are joined in them under conditions of over crowding and general discomfort which are simply barbarous. That Negro passengers are entitled to accommodations as good as that provided for white passengers, for the poor, may, is too clear to admit of dispute." It will be admitted that the ordinary newspaper of today, even those published in the North, seldom speak out so boldly and vigorously concerning any complaint emanating from colored people. It clearly looks from the standpoint of the black community to the white Rossevelt's commendable action, that the end of the "Jim Crow" barbarity is in view. Dr. R. H. Waterford, a prominent colored physician of Muskogee, Indian Territory, is in Chicago for the purpose of performing a serious operation upon one patient, a black woman, this day. Dr. Rutherford says that the colored people of Muskogee are by no means discouraged by the discriminating policy on the part of the party now in power in Oklahoma. He represents the colored people as united, and resolute in their purpose to challenge in the courts of law and at every election any attempt to discredit the color citizen in this new State of Oklahoma to live below their political and civil rights as American citizens. Mr. R. M. Mitchell, who for many years has been a reader of THE AGE and a well-known member of the Chicago bar, is slowly recovering from a very serious illness. He was conferred upon Rooker T.

B. Forgan, Channey Koop, J. C. Grant, A. C. Barbett, J. J. Glessner, Dr. L. Case, B. Carpenter, Dr. Mark H. G. K. Carpenter one of the managers of the Marshall Field estate. The other guests present represent the very highest in the life of Chester. A new and forward movement inaugurated by the Frederick Douglass Center of this city is the organization of what is known as "A Neighborhood Improvement Association," having for its object the stimulating of neighborhood pride in keeping clean, wholesome and a tractive the front and rear of the community and unsightly lots and beautifying them with lawns and growing flowers. One of the large dailies, The Chicago Tribune, has offered a number of prizes to encourage this idea of neighborhood pride in the planting of vines and flowers. This is an encouraging evidence of a growing civic interest in which colored people are being led to take an active and interested part in making the vines in this work. If the color people give us a better stand in the communities where our presence is generally felt to be a detriment to property values. FANNIE RARRIER WILLIAMS. WM. F. M.

On the Biller of Ten New York Ave. there are three Ames of the 18th district appeared an article relative to the post disorders that occurred in the Mount Olivet Baptist Church, of the city, and which are now happily ended after the expulsion from the church of the ringleaders of the confession and their most turbulent association the pastor, who was the minister of the man who signed the said article have been expelled from Mount Olivet Church by a practically unanimous vote in the largest business meeting held in the church since I entered upon its pastorate. Neither of the men whose signatures are attached to the article able to answer the question and hence is in the production largely of a paid agent. "The hand is the hand of Dan, but the voice is the voice of Jacob." The unblushing lies and rockless misrepresentations in the article, while not impossible to the signers, can be explained in part by the fact that the pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist Church and never attended any of the meetings be attempted to describe. We would not condescend to notice the article it were not for the fact that some people might conclude that the expelled parties told the truth, it they are not contradicted. Permit me to say, Mr. Editor, that the article is a tissue of lies from beginning to end, and it is clear that the expelled parties themselves to use every possible means to evade the truth and deserve the public. I shall not attempt to answer all the fiefschools and misrepresentations fathered by Jackson and his associates, for the permanent council of our denomination has passed upon all the matters they have mentioned, and they have lost the first chance to be president and Dr. Gilbert and his associates were sustained in every contention they made. The church, by a vote of more than 4 to 1, sustained the findings and recommendations of the council and proceeded forthwith to make an example of the heartless and wicked men, who for six years had vowed 273 to 90 to submit all information and adjudication and adjudication of the permanent council, these parties held a meeting in True Reformers' Hall and planned with their misguided and lawless followers to have a number of them go to the church on the morning of February 2nd to the swerench State of New York, to prevent the pastor from performing his duties. And now they are whining like whipped babies because we had the fore-sight to appeal to the civil powers to subdue their riotous and criminal disposition that led them to displease the swerench State of New York, to prevent Jesus Christ and in the worship of their Maker, but with the sole purpose of preventing their pastor from preaching. Men and women who could thus abuse the house of God and take His holy Name in vain should in his welcome the swerench State of New York, to least there is no room for them in a Baptist church. It is a lie to say that the judge in the magistrate's court discharged them. On their lawyer's plea that "those people are ignorant and did not know what they were doing," the magistrate discharged those who were mere dupes in the affair, and placed five of the most offensive ones under houds to keep the peace. In the article referred to another lie was told when it was said that the business meeting that refused to accept our resignation was too disorderly to properly count the votes. The vote was orderly and the disorder broke out only when the disorderly element saw their overwhelming desire having been able to resist (Stroetes in representing Dr. Gilbert as saying he never in all his life saw people so anxious to receive their pastor's resignation. After Dr. Gilbert had tendered his resignation X. W. Jackson offered a motion that it be accepted, and it was then that Dr. Gilbert made the statement to Mr. Jackson that he never knew of a pastor's resignation in some manner in which it was tendered, and declared that it was a matter that the members should have time to think over. Mr. Jackson saw the propriety of Dr. Gilbert's point and forthwith withdrew the negation. It is true that a few—and they were comparatively few—individually applauded the decision of the pastor at that time to resign. We felt so strongly that our own position in this intercepted the prayer, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." They will doubtless now with some relish recall the remark of Dr. Gilbert on that occasion, "He laughs best who laughs last." The doubtless of those parties can also be seen in their appealing to the courts before the council could press and even submitting their unrighteous cause to the council, they again appealed to the courts before the council reported their findings and recommendations to the church. They have lost in every vote they had made in the church, they lost their cause before the council, they were defeated in their riotous conduct on February 2nd, and they have been defeated in their appeal to the court for a temporary injunction to restrain them my beginnings. We shall deal in their appeal for a permanent injunction. And they also appealed to the court to reconstitute them to membership in Mount Olivet Baptist Church, but, as we are writing this, our attorney rang up over the telephone to inform us that our enemies have lost this fight also. They are losing in the earthly courts, and will continue to lost in them, because their enemies have cried against them already, and the courts of the land can only record Haven's decision with regard to a church of Jesus Christ. These men are strangers to the Court of Heaven, but our cause is committed to it, and "the Judge of all the earth will do right," despite all the machinations of Jackson, Wells, Halloween & Co. We give our cause no concern and we throw them as they are and are in the church. The church is now at peace since their removal, and root and raciality will no longer be tolerated in the church. After the fight is entirely over the only man fighting under the banner of the enemies of our cause that should be congratulated is their lawyer because of his augmented bank account. We congratulate him now. "DAVID'S LAMENT." Fine Contain Rendered at a Jersey City Church. JERSEY CITY, April 16.—Rev.

R. D. Stinson, D. D., is vice-president, held a meeting Sunday afternoon at Bishop's Chapel A. M. K. Church, 185th street and Lenox avenue, New York city. The church was crowded and much intercourse was manifested. Of the A. M. K. Church, and who is likely to be elected bishop at the coming convention to be held at Norfolk, Va., in May, presided. Dr. Parks told of the work of Morris Brown College, and introduced Mr. Philip A. Payton, Jr., who spoke interestingly on "Business Among Negroes." The choir rendered, various selections. Dr. Stinson spoke of his work and the struggle of Negroes to be unburied Negroes to take a more general interest in educational work. He depressed the introduction of politics, and while he was in sympathy with everything that had for its object the betterment of conditions, politically and otherwise, he would not give his support to abusing our public officials. He depressed racial utterances. We repressed the utterances of the Negroes from Morris Brown College from President Roosevelt and others, showing confidence in Dr. Stinson and his conservative judgment and the good results being accomplished by him on behalf of his race. "My Dear Dr. Stinson - I wish you all the good fortune in your work. I have heard of you from many people as doing hard and faithful service through Morris Brown College for the uplifting of our colony and its college was赞助 by the African Methodist Church and is under the control of that organization; but I am assured by those who have every opportunity of knowing, that in addition to the support of all the leaders of that church, you have the confidence and aid of the best people in the South, including the leading citizens of both races, who feel that your course has been preeminently sensible and conservative.

You have been so steadfast and so consistent in your work.

A Plain Talk with Our Readers Since the time the present management took charge of THE Age we have tried to be plain and frank with our readers and supporters. Some months ago we made an appeal to our readers to assist us to increase the circulation of THE Age to at least fifty thousand during the present year. Since this appeal was made we have gone forward toward the reaching of our goal. To be exact, we have added to our subscription list since we took charge and since this appeal was made nine thousand new subscribers. We question whether any other Afro-American paper in the country has ever made such a growth. We are not satisfied, however, and we wish to add at least ten thousand more within the next two months. Will our subscribers and readers help us? Tell your neighbor about the good things to be found in THE Age each week. Send the names of people to whom you would like to have sample copies of THE Age sent. We must have one great national paper, the strongest and best in the country, and our readers are fast helping us to make such a paper, but we are not satisfied and will not be until we have in our books fifty thousand subscribers and are in a position to enlarge and improve THE Age in many important directions. m m m dh A Brave Act by President Roosevelt A Brave Act by President Roosevelt In another portion of The Age we publish a letter from President Roosevelt to the Department of Justice instructing that department to proceed by injunction or suit or whatever manner it deems fit to force the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway to provide equal accommodations on the railroad for colored people. This is a magnificent and brave strike. No President of the United States has ever concerned himself in such a matter as this. The President has not only directed the Attorney-General to proceed to force the railroad to treat the colored people properly, but we understand on good authority that he has taken measures to get hold of the facts covering the railroads throughout the South as to how they treat colored passengers. The whole race ought to express its thanks in no uncertain terms to our brave President for moving off in this matter. Of course the President of the United States can only deal with the matter of railroad accommodations as it affects interstate traffic. He cannot go into a State and tell the railroads what they must do where the passenger traffic is wholly within the State. We expect great good to come from this important move. Taft and Hughes "Taft and Hughes." How would this sound for a presidential ticket? Stranger things have happened. We would advise our readers to keep their eyes on this combination. It would be a mighty hard matter to beat such a ticket, even though some of the excited ones might decline to vote it. The Worst Enemies of the Race The very worst enemies of the Afro-Americans at the present time, as we stated in an editorial a short time ago is that class of white people who are spending money and time in sitting up the colored people to abuse and misstep present the President of the United States and his cabinet. The American people will not tolerate for any length of time any group of citizens to continually abuse their President, whatever his mistakes may be. When the time comes for the masses of Afro-Americans to suffer on account of their present misguided actions, the white people to whom we refer will sneak back into their shells and let the Afro-Americans bear the brunt of the punishment just as the carpet-baggers did in the South. The white carpet-baggers in the Southern States used the Negroes to feather their own nests and to keep themselves before the public just as long as they could. When the Negro got to the point the white people and keep them in office and enforce the public, the most since of white people became the bitterest enemies of the Afro-American and most of them went into what is known as the Lily White party. We warn our people in every part of the country against placing too much faith in white people who urge members of our race to continually abuse white public officials. The same game has been worked in the South, and we all know the results. White people who have any standing and influence among their own race do not spend all of their time in trying to foment strife among Afro-Americans. When any group of white people spend most of their time in trying to use the Negro to further their selfish purposes, it is a sure sign that they are without following or without standing in their own race. Secretary Taft and the Color Line Of all the public men in the country to be accused of color prejudice, Secretary Taft is among the last that should have such an accusation against him. He was the one great figure in the Philippine Islands that compelled American white people to treat the Filipinos as human beings and as gentlemen and ladies rather than as infertiles. He gave all the people with whom he came into contact on the island to understand that the Filipinos must be regarded as men and not as things. He set the example himself by intermingling freely with them in their social life as well as acting as their Governor. It is a well known fact, which some people seem to have forgotten, that he was much criticized when he was in the islands for refusing to permit the color line being drawn against the Filipinos; notwithstanding this he stood by his guns. Mr. Anderson's Victory That was a great victory won by Mr. Charles W. Anderson Saturday in being elected an alternate at-large to the National Republican Convention in Chicago. The triumph of Mr. Anderson is all the more noteworthy when it is considered that for months the Constitutional League and other forces have been doing all in their power to discount him and break down his power among the Afro-Americans in New York State. Only a few days ago his enemies imported almost a carload of wind-jammers here from different parts of the country to proclaim against him, but the effect was that he has been given a greater honor than was ever given any Afro-American by a State convention. The people draw the line between real worth and humbuggery. The Philadelphia Meeting Well, the National Political Negro Race Conference has met, and has issued the customary and expected address. There was just a handful of them, under the leadership of Trotter and Bishop Walters, but from the noise they made one would have suspected that they were many, and that they really did represent something besides ego and wind. The meeting broke up in a row; that is to say, there was a faction that laid claim to some sense, and opposed indiscreet utterances. The "reactionaries," ejected the sane members, and proceeded to declare against the President and Secretary Taft. The action of the Trotter-Walters contingent was discounted in advance, and as they did the expected their action did not cause a ripple of attention. Even the newspapers of Philadelphia practically ignored the affair, and Chris Perry, editor of the leading Negro newspaper in Philadelphia, and the State, left the city, not caring to be in the city on the same day. It was another case of the mountain laboring and bringing forth a mouse. But doubtless they feel satisfied within themselves, and feel that they did exactly what they were paid to do. Information for the kit Information for the Evening Post. We notice that the New York Evening Post, which is always true to the interests of the Afro-American, in a paragraph seems to take the recent Philadelphia Afro-American conference so seriously. We feel sure the editor of the Post does not know, as we do, that such meetings as was held in Philadelphia a few days ago are not spontaneous outbursts of the feelings of the people, but are engineered from one common enter. The Evening Post does not know, perhaps, that practically the same speakers appear at all these meetings in no matter what part of the country they are held, and that the majority of the speakers are under pay and have been for some time. When the election takes place in November, it will be found that the Afro-American voters, for the most part, are standing by the Republican party. This does not mean to imply. However, that they do not resist the principle done to the Negro soldiers, but it means that as between the Democrats represented by Tillman and Vardaman, and the Republicans as represented by Roosevelt and Taft, they prefer the Republican party. Our contemporary, the Evening Post, we year, too, has been misled by the number of States said to be represented; thirty-seven we think was the number given. The Evening Post does not know first mission in the old old town which we are thoroughly familiar. A few people can be gathered from the District of Columbia to represent every State in the Union, and then there are certain traveling professional convention holders who can accommodate themselves to represent any State or any number of States on short notice. We guarantee that outside of Pennsylvania that there were, not ten genuine representatives from any other State. Justice in Florida In another portion of The Ace we publish an editorial from The Outlook calling attention to the manner in which as Afro-American in Florida forced the State courts to give him justice to the extent of having members of his face upon the jury that tried him. We wish our people throughout the South would note this important victory. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that no court in the South, or the country for that matter, has a right to exclude black men from jury service simply because they are black, and that if a man is convicted in a court composed exclusively of white men and he makes an appeal for members of his own race to be on the jury, that he can force the officials to recognize his right in this matter. If our people in the South want definite information in regard to the matter of colored men on the jury where they are being tried, they can get such information from Mr. Wilford H. Smith, 150 Nassau street, New York city, Mr. Smith street, New York city, the first case before the United States Supreme Court that hid down the principle upon which the Florida court acted. Bishop Lomar In the death of Bishop Lomax of the A. M. E. Z. Church that organization has lost a great leader and spiritual guide. Not only is this true, but the race has lost one of its strongest and most original and independent characters. Bishop Lomax was not only a good example for the race in a spiritual way, but he showed in his own life what can be accomplished in the way of business success. The Death of Professor Arthur D. Langston The death of Professor Arthur D. Langston is a distinct loss to the whole race. He was one of our finest characters and most splendid educators. He was clean, efficient and worthy. Few of our educated men have left a more lasting mark on their fellows than is true of Mr. Langston. THE AGE with a host of friends deeply sympathize with his family and relatives on account of his death. Trotter's Influence Stripped of all subterfuge and getting down to brass tacks, we want to ask if all seriousness, where is Mr William Monroe Trotter's influence? Does he have any anywhere in the country? Certainly he has none in Boston and Massachusetts. Notwithstanding all the money spent by the Constitutional League in sustaining his paper, and notwithstanding all the hysterics into which Mr. Trotter and his followers have indulged in the last few months, we note that the most outspoken supporter of President Roosevelt and his policies lives right in Boston, and the gentleman is no less a person than Senator Lodge. Right in Mr. Trotter's home a few weeks ago a Republican was elected mayor on Roosevelt's platform, and all this in the face of Mr. Trotter's most active gymnastics. Still more recently, notwithstanding all the flimflam, the noise and yelling kicked up by Mr. Trotter, the Massachusetts State Republican Convention has just declared in its platform that Mr. Taft is the choice of a majority of the Massachusetts Republicans for President. We ask again, has Mr. Trotter any influence anywhere in the country except in noise and humbuggery? Professor DuBois's Advice Last week we took occasion in these columns to submit some observations about the somewhat silly and logical contiguities of our friends, Bishop Walters and Prof Dullois, of Atlanta University. When we took up our copy of the Independent, that saintwalt champion of Nicaragua rights and liberties we found ourselves pleased to note the hearty humor in which they put forth, in substantially the same words as ourselves, criticisms of the cause outlined by Bishop Walters, Prof Dullois and their alumnus in the recent San Juan Hill meeting. The Independent editorial says: The Negroes of the more pronounced race wint he a large meeting in this last week, full of enthusiasm and passion in which it was resolved that never would they forgive the cruel act of President Roosevelt or his representative and chosen candidate. Secretary Taft for the dismissal, without House of the Negro soldiers at Brownsville. Such indignant heat is easy to understand, even if not justified by full intelligence. A telegram, received and read, with f. E. Burghardt Duffords, calls, however, for some notice. It was as follows: "Regret absence. If Taft heats Foraker and Hughes, Negroes must vote for Brean. Avowed; enemy better than false friends" What logic or sense is there in that? In the first place, an avowed enemy is not better than a false friend in any moral or political question. The man of good principles and bad character is their position. He is the manager whose vice president is vice, and it is better to have those in chair or motion who can eloquence and direct their evil than those who glory in it. It is not the case here. There is no evidence that the Secretary Taft has ever been a false to the Negroes. The Brownsville dismal was not his act, but that of the President, and so far as the public knows he did not approve it; at least he delayed its execution. These Negroes are attacking him not at all because of his action, but out of hostility to Mr. Roosevelt. It is amazing that they should vent their anger on Mr. Taft, who has done more to oppose the color caste and who has more helped the actions of colored people than any other American since Abraham Lincoln's time. To be a man they are not Negroes, but Filipinos, nearly millions of them, but that shows his principle of Negroes ought to be very grateful to the man who has insisted that brown men in the Philippines should have the suffrage and be treated with all courtesy and equality in social as well as political relations. We greatly respect Professor DoBois, but the heart of the black man should sympathize with the heart of the brown. Where Will Walters and Trotter Next Pitch Their Tent? The Negroes of Washington held a big meeting last week to denounce Congressman Heflin and to raise money to prosecute him. It was given out by the managers of the meeting that $200 was raised. This was a clear case of toying with the truth. The sum total of that meeting was $6,25, and a lot of wind raised. The usual resolutions were passed; the usual amount of speech-making, and then they adjourned to let the law take its course. The Government is the prosecutor in this case, and we suggest to the Negroes of Washington that they keep hands off. There is no doubt but what Mr. Heflin will be prosecuted, and little doubt of his position shielding him. Sentiment, both white and black, is against the act he committed. The New York newspapers and the Philadelphia newspapers seem to have not known that a race conference was to take place in Philadelphia last week, or if they knew it they decided to ignore it, as almost no attention was given to the meeting. Not a single newspaper in New York city carried the resolutions, and after scanning the Philadelphia papers closely we cannot find even a mention of the last day's session of the conference Evidently the press has known tired of such conventions and what they stand for. Courtesman Heflin, who recently shot a Negro on a street car in Washington, is a strong advocate of William L Bryan for the Presidency as against Taft. The man who has never qualified himself to vote Dr. Dubois, also advocates the election of Bryan as against Taft. Heflin and Dallois seem to be in agreement in this matter. How is it that after all the noise made by a certain element in Massachusetts regarding their rights, no Negro is sent from that State as a delegate or even as an alternate to the Chicago convention? Cannot our people in Massachusetts see this time that the policy of hysteries and foolish agitation is doing them no good in that State? They have less political power and influence than almost new State in the Union with a similar Afro-American population. Are there not some Afro Americans in Massachusetts who are strong and wise enough to throw off the present entanglements? Even New York State sent a delegate at large to Chicago Missouri sent four, and Illinois is sending several, to say nothing of other States It seems that Senator Foraker has learned much wisdom by recent experience. When invited to attend the Philadelphia conference he promptly declined, informing those who invited him that he was too busy. Senator Foraker has already realized that he has suffered much on account of too close connection with a certain element of Afro-American initiators, and it comes to us on good authority that he is sick and tired if the whole gang Governor Pinchback has a brusque, but sensible way of expressing things to discussing the candidacy of Mr. Taft recently he said. "It will be a sorry law for our state when the Republicans elect a President with the Negro vote arrived against him. Taft is sure to be nominated and elected, and the white vote is all powerful to do it." The Governor, the hero of many a political battle, is correct. The so-called Constitutional League in New York seems to be traveling a rocky road. It started out with the aweed purpose of sealing Mr. Gleibhrist Stewart to the National Convention as a delegate; it failed. It tried to have Mr. Stewart elected as a delegate to the State Convention; it failed. It tried to have Mr. Stewart elected as a delegate to the County Convention; it failed. It turns out that even Boston and Massachusetts are selecting Taft delegates. New York is doing the same thing.

We notice that a few hot header presidents, a few Negro newspapers, and a few Negroes who are anxious to gain at least a few Negroes who are standing on corners, and making further arguments, that the Negro votes will be the vote of the entire column if Secretary of War Taft is appointed by the Chicago Convention, he is not a word of truth in the state convention, and this country are too big to be a single person to take their own people think they are. They are not going to cut off their nose to spit in the face and not going to vote the Democratic candidate in the state convention, their known enemies in power in prison, their lifelong friends, simply because their friends did one not that did not their Democrat. They are not going to vote the words of a few supraheads in prison, nor the Negro of this country is like not the other map.

While the news is While the disgruntled Negroes of New York were assembled in mass meeting in New York, listening to the inflammatory speeches of Bishop Walters. Max Barber, al. Repressor Heffin, of Alabama, a Southern Democrat, were armed to shoot down some defenselessmen. In the same morning papers that carried in New York, of the Negroes' meeting in New York, they were denouncing without rhyme or reason about abusive language, the President and Secretary Taft, there also appeared the start-up that Representative Heffin, of Alabama, at the Southern Democrat, had shot down from a street in Washington, D. C., within it, with a few blocks, nation's splendid capital building, an unarmed Negro. And the Negro was on unarmed Negro. And the Negro was on coward that he is, representing Heffin, coward that he is, shooting at the Negro through the canopy. This is the answer; this is another answer to those Negroes that are advisable to the Negro vote bolt the Republican nominee. The Representative Helfin had no prosecution. The Negro was unarmed, and, to add to the shocking affair there were white ladies in the house, the white man also received one of the bullets fired from Representative Helfin's gun. These are times for cool deliberation. Times in which the discriminating sense of time is reached when a cool head calmly conjures actions and the thoughts that may be far-reaching in their effect upon our race. Their presentative Hein, failing to have passed, Grace, street car law for the nation's capital, civil rights, vengey by shooting down an unarmed Negro. And the brave (7) Southern congressman fired from ambush, for the nation's side of the car. unarmed, while Mr. Hein shot the inside, firing from the car window. THE NEW SOUTH From the New York Tribune. More evidence is at hand to prove that man is a product of his environment. For twenty years or longer manufacturing industries and modern business methods have been stealthily wiping out the lingering traces of that ante-bellum economic and social system whose finest flower was the Southern gentleman of the old school. With the passing of plantations and the conversion of Colonial mansions into boarding school and lodging houses a change has come over the spirit of men. Customs which nobody dared question or jest at now find few supporters, as the recent occurrence on a Washington street car demonstrates. An Alabama Congressman, on his way to deliver a church lecture on temperance, shot a Negro after a controversy in a street car. Maybe, he can vindicate himself, and maybe he can't; but that is irrelievable. Interesting feature of the episode is the comment it has evoked from Southerners. "The Louisville Courier-Journal says, "Mr. Hollin will find when his soothing Southern blood gets below the boiling point that he has neither a bad lustre to him. Some of Hollin nor reflected credit to him. Some attempting to police the national capital." "The Nashville Banner joins in with this opinion; "The affray illustrates, if it happens thus, anything at all, but two points. The first is the disposition, so often manifested, of a Southern man to take the settlement those matters in his own hands. In the case of a Southern man, would have simply called the police. It is this difference, the result of temperament, inheritance, environment, or something but has done so much to give the population in respect of law and order. "They order these things better in the North, where there is a kouner anxiety to make the officers of the law earn their jobs. They are not afraid to do this but the police are there to do just this burt yeoman service; and when trouble begins he calls an officer; the unlucky one, being duly impressed with the majesty of buttons, quickly submits, is led to the police station, and the down comfortably again. The Northern man is practical and sensible. It is a great pity that the Southern cannot be get to accept the same calm view of these wayfaring buildings; it would save him a lot of trouble and incase in lawless endings. The school bloodiness with the result, an unpopularity of hair triggers and codes of honor is not a passing game. The school is a comedy into vogue down South. Just as a spring millinery. We find an Arkansas Senator being arrested and fined morally for having flourished a shooting iron in a public thoroughfare; we read in a down Southern journal. Southern common men waste in a reeling embroidered word under the false label of a legislative address; while the sudden enthusiasm for punishing parties and the unpopularity of the idolous rider prove doubt the advent of a new type of Southern gentleman. The way of the transgrenator is long and rocky, but looks will travel no other way. If a man has confession in his head he will demoralise inference in his touches. The confusion which the Observation League has brought into Nyego council and councils demonstrates that Many shabbes and clergy and laymen go wild in seeking for what they think they want. Most man knows what he wants! The man who knows how to get what he wants. It is to be retracted that the southern delegations so far selected are divided. The second of the conditions which prevails in the Republican politics of the Southern States is that there must be too many states, and too few statesmen. It has been known that the war of the Rebellion. There should be a change, if the Negro people are to have any standing in the politics of the Republic. A like condition prevails in the Democratic politics. Let the Negro politics prevail, and then stop playing the baby game. We expect that they will be men. It has no time to give to those who do not know their business, but must need turn it over to others. We are Republicans, and we are not going to be Democrats. It behooves our wise men, then, to play politics. Senator Foraker has an interesting review of the Brownies mixup in the current number of the North American Review. The senator has evidence he has been adduced by the army officer, or Senate investigations which turned the soldiers with the shootup of the town of Brownville into the case, who did the shooting? Mexican greensmen from across the line It looks the way. There should be some to find, but it is not the Federal Government should be able to localize the responsibility. It is not fair that the soldiers of the discharged best should be made to suffer in the absence of evidence that they did the shooting. When President Alexis Nord of Hartle goes after conspirators he gets. But he doesn't shoot them all. The New York Herald figures it out that Bryan has a long lead over his Democratic competitors for the Presidential nomination. It is hard to get at the Democratic advantage. He is not a man of profound understatedness. He is not a man versatile in the affairs of government. As a talker he knows a lot; as a thinker he only follows it; the wake others after letting President Roosevelt all of the ammunition in his arrest. Ex-Governor William L. Douglas of Massachusetts announces that he does not want to be accused of this is unfortunate. What the Republic men of the character of Mr. Douglas, Governor Joseph W. Folk, of Missouri, and Governor Johnson of Minnesota, who are unqualified for the Presidency on the opposition ticket, so that we can have something to stand for in a tight place. --- Senator Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, was given $21 in a Little Rock court for disorderly behavior in a time he disorderly he would soon be a hopeless bankrupt, in pursue as he is in head, representative J. Thomas Heflin of the Tuskegee University using his gun in Washington, and in stand up in court and defend himself. What is the matter with Southern statemen? There are evidences in all our newspaper exchanges that the business development which the Nega Business League has done stands still. It is gratifying that not one of our banks has been forced to close its doors during the panic condition of the bank which has prevailed since November. They have stood the severe test wonderfully. Our preachers in large numbers are taking an active part in politics. White preachers denote their activities to preaching. NEGRO RIGHTS ON CARS Letter of President Roosevelt Directs Attorney General Act. WASHINGTON, April 8—President Roosevelt today made public his letter of April 2 to the Attorney General, directing proceedings by injunction to compel certain railroads of the South to furnish equal accommodations to white New York passengers. The text of the President's letter is as follows: "To the Department of Justice." "I forward herewith the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission containing its order of June 27, 1907, and the report of the failure of the railroad company of March 26, 1908, to order, under date of March 26, 1908, the letter of the Commission of Aerial Railway that appears that the Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis Railroad Company has not complied with order of the Commission for the same facilities to colored passengers in the same facilities, and that are furnished to white passengers paying first-class fare. From time to time the complaints have been made to us by reputable colored people to the effect that accommodations furnished to colored passengers on railways are fidelity and indecomposition furnished to the same accommodations furnished to white passengers paying the same fare. The constitution of the state is unconstitutional and grounded. That where unconstitutional proceedings are provided for white and colored persons, the accommodations for colored passengers shall be as good as those furnished to white passengers for the same money. In the law which facilitates accommodation in the law which facilitates accommodation be equal. This principle of equality of accommodation is not explicitly in the State law. Justice F. F. White, the governor of the State, has said, the accommodation that there shall be equal, but separate, accommodations for the white and colored passengers, including two of those passenger cars, for the same tenon, or by dividing the passenger cars by partitions. The action of the Commission has since been the accommodations he equal in cost, comfort for the same money, whereby separation is made. In this particular case where the railway has neglected to comply with the order of the Commission, it is important to compliance with this order be immediately obeyed. I suggest that you proceed to enforce the order by injunction proceedings, unless in judgment some other course is preferable. the University of Ames College and Husker School.

A Tuakegee Graduate Triumph. In October, 1907, The Craftsman, one of the twenty-five cent magazines published in New York City, offered four prizes for the four best essays on the subject: "The Relation of Manual Training in the Public Schools to Industrial Education and Efficiency." Essays were invited from all parts of the country. We feel that it will be pleasing to the readers of The Student to know that the third of these prizes has been awarded to Mr. Isaac Fisher, President of the Branch Normal College at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, who will be remembered as the valedictorian of our class of 1888, and as one of the graduates who was chosen equally satisfactorily in his field since leaving here. The judges of the contest were Professor Charles A. Bennett, of the Bradley Polytechnic Institute, Pooria, HI, and editor of the Manual Training Magazine; Professor Charles R. Richards, Teachers College, Columbia University, and Mr. Charles F. Warner, Principal of the Technical High School, Springfield, Mass. The Pine Bluff Graphic, white, in referring to the award of this prize, says: "The significance attached to the winning of one of these prizes by a local Negro is the fact that the student in this training in the technical school, he has, not done practical work in a manual training institution and he was competing with experts who have received their training in the technical schools of the country." The Tuskegee Student. Hacksnack Notes Services in the A. M. E. Zion Church Sunday morning, were conducted by Rev. A. R. Jackson.

RENTS REASONABLE W. 14 apr9 13 ```markdown ``` THE BRITTONS In many sections of the country years ago the Negro had a monopoly on the whitewash business. He was the master of the situation. Then came along the white brother who was interested in whitewashing. He also took up the study of tinting and so developed it that he became known as a frescoer—not a whitewasher. Result: exit of Negro whitewasher. In every section of the country years ago the Negro dancer had his hair done. His dance was made of back and wing and eccentric dancing the Negro was the only one thought of. He began to teach his white brother a number of steps, who, in turn, improved on what he was taught. Result: there are more colorful dancers than white dancers to-day than there are colored. In fact, there is but one colored team that can successfully compete with such dancers as the "Four Fords," or Johnny Ford. Just what the Negro performer can do with a white dancer to keep with the times was shown recently at Haumerstein's by the Brittons. Hammerstein's is the foremost vaudeville house in America. It presented an unusually strong bill last week. As a rule, unusually strong bills are produced by the company interesting features. Last week's bill was no exception to the rule. On the bill were two dancing acts of no little ability. One was Rock and Fulton. Broadway favorites, who have had considerable success as performers, the other act was the Brittons, known at home and afar as eccentric dancers of the first water. In the newspapers this clever colored team was billed just ahead of the vitagraph. Rock and Fulton were headlined and hundreds of dollars were spent in billing so let the public know that they were at Hammerstein's. With the exception of one little raytime number, which appeared somewhat tame after the Brittons had performed, there was not much similarity in the work of the two teams. Rock and Fulton danced as of the artistic kind, while Brittons were at home in the oceanic line. Hock and Fulton, and a decidedly clever little dancer in Maude Fulton, "did their act with full stage," and wore stunning costumes which they changed after each number. Their stage settings were picturesque. The Brittons "did their act in one," without change of costume. Both acts made good, but what caused the writer to beonder was, why there should be such a vast difference in the billing of the two teams—when you take in consideration that both teams are top-notchers of their respective classes. Of course, Genice is excepted in the case of Miss Fulton—also Daxie, the dancer. So far as Joe Britton is concerned he is the best eccentric dancer in America and probably elsewhere. Johnny Ford, a brother of the Four-Ford, the only dancer the writer can think of, who could make Joe Britton work hard for his laurels. Irrespective of the reputation of the Britons as dancers they were assigned on Monday to open the show, a position that fills every vaudeville performer with chagrin and penurse. Rock and Fallout give the audience realizing support on the bill, the second number before the vitigraph. They were entitled to their position on the bill, but it was unjust to the Britons to make them open the show with their great dancing act. Fresh from Europe after a highly successful tour, the experienced experienced artist last summer, despite objections on their part. Having made good last summer they expected a better position on the bill, but were very much disappointed when told Monday morning at orchestra rehearsals that they were to open the show. The audience about the treatment accorded them they determined to dance their way to a new spot—and they succeeded. They opened the show just twice—Monday afternoon and Monday evening. Tuesday before matinee they were informed that instead of opening the show they would appear on the bill, where they remained until the end of their engagement. So satisfied was the management with the work of the Brittons that they have signed them for the opening week of the roof garden. June 1. The method of the Brittons in making the Hireline is to give them a better spot on the bill should be an object lesson to all Negro performers. True, they did not jump from one side of the checkerboard to the "king row," but they did not go through the disagreeable task of opening the show as was originally intended. When they play on the in-venue in June in all their prelubilities they will even dance themselves into a better spot. After all it is up to the performer as to where he shall be assigned on a bill. For if he "delivers the goods" the public will show that he is in demand and the management will be compelled to give him a proper conductor. You can get it by talk or quarrelling with the stage manager. While Sadie Britton is a good dancer, it is her husband who is about the orly Negro eccentric dancer who can successfully compete with the best white dancers of to-day. Considering the large number of to-day dancers who should be public the assertion may be considered broad. Nevertheless it is true. You can't go to sleep in the theatrical business. It is a case of study and practice all the time so you can "spring" something new on the public, which is always on the alert for novelties. Joe Britton is a great eccentric dancer because he has not gone to sleep, but continues to add new and difficult steps to his act. He is not satisfied. Hammersstein's is one of the best places in the country to test your true work. The audience is the most alive on Broadway. When the show good the best pop to Hammateriae go to be amused, and don't bother about who does the amusing. One of the reasons the writer likes Hammateriae personally is that they are so amused by Negro acts at they and all times, regardless of how they are billed. Then, the best corps of ushers in Manhattan can be seen at Hammateriae under the direction of Georgette Hammateriae, who knows that Negro ushers are not so much in evidence around New York. But the ushers at Hammerstein's are only an incidental theme. It was about the Brittons at Hammerstein's, and how they made the management give them a better spot on the bill that the writer wishes kept in mind. It would be wise for some who are constantly quarreling about having to open a bill to read and act accordingly. Dunbar Theatre to Open April 16. COLUMNS, April 15.—The regular opening of the Dunbar Stock Company will take place Thursday evening when Sidney Perrin and Manager W. H. Smith will present to the public the new musical comedy, the "Emperor of Dixie." The entire house has been sold for the initial performance Thursday afternoon. Washington to Have Negro Theatre. WASHINGTON, D. C. April 15.—If reports are true, Washington is to have Negro Theater. No city in the United States is more in need of a playhouse for Negroes as Washington. At a recent meeting of well-known Negro citizens an organization was formed called the Union Hall Association whose object is to erect a theatre at a near date with a seating capacity to accommodate 5,000 people. The officers of the association are: P. I. Morris, president; Charles Lawson, vice-president; William Forman, secretary; A. J. Gaskins, treasurer; board of directors; Silas E. Roberts, Charles H. Harris, Charles Lawson and William Forman. Two New Plays at the Pckin CITICAGO, April 13.—"Pollies of 1906," a two-act burlesque, was presented for the first time at the Pekin Theatre Monday. It was well received. Victor H. Smalley and Bernie Adler are responsible for the piece. Pamela raiser the "Pekiniteer" put on a concert musical skit called "The Rehearsal," written by J. Ed. Green. Marion A. Brooks, who has been connected with the Pekin forces for the past four months, has left the Pekin to take charge of a colored stock company in Montgomery, Ala. Flourmoy Miller, also at one time connected with the Pekin, accompanied him. Lille Jewel at each appearance is greeted with applause. She is singing "The Candle and the Star." Nettie Lewis has been playing the role of the "Merry Widow" this week which gives Lottie Grady a much-needed rest. ```markdown ``` IDA DAY, BANDANNA LAND CO. Rey Morales, of Mexico City, Mexico, is now connected with the Pekin in an official capacity. Harrison Stewart, for the past two years comedian of the Pekin Stock Company, has left the Pekin to go in vaudeville. Pittman-White Recital—Other Musical Notes. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 15.—One of the principal musical events of the season will be the Pittman-White recital May 15, at the Metropolitan A.M. E. Ballroom, with May Pittman M. Washington-Pittman and Mr. Clarence Cameron White will appear as pianist and violinist, respectively. Miss Pittman is the daughter of Dr. Booker T. Washington. She will make her initial bow to the Washington public at the recital. She is an accomplished pianist, studied in the best European conservatories. On the occasion Clarence Cameron White will make his farewell appearance prior to leaving for Paris, where he will study a year. He received the scholarship offered by Mme. E. Azalian Hackley. Mr. H. Leonard Jester, cellist, will also have a prominent place on the program. The Amphion Glee Club, the "crack" male musical organization of this section of the country, is closing its most brilliant season. The club has appeared at many social functions given by Cabinet officers, justices of the Supreme Court and members of Congress, besides members of the diplomatic corps. The 16 men comprising the club have divided several hundred dollars among themselves as the result of their season's labor. Much credit is due Professor J. Henry Lewis, who has been musical director of the Amphions since their organization more than 16 years ago. The president of the club, Lewis, has been a member and a Prof. Lewis constitutes a team that works harmoniously and effectively. The pupil of Mrs. Hattie Gibba Marshall's Conservatory of Music furnished a regular meeting of Bethel Literary and Historical Association Tuesday evening. Smart Set at Newark.

Saturday night "Bandanna Land" will close its long and successful run on Broadway will move to Brooklyn, where it will remain for a week at the Majestic Theatre. Rumor has it that Abbie Mitchell Cook will never her connections with the company Saturday night. The management, however, has not corroborated the report. A Letter from a Friend to a Friend. It is quite often heard said that very little genuine sympathy and true friendship exists between actor folks. Rivalry and professional jealousy is said to be so much in evidence that there is little gift for an expression of sentiment coming from the heart. Such ideals, however, are usually advanced by parrow-minded people. The members of the theatrical profession are getting closer together every day. A letter from Billy McClain to Kenneth Hogan is submitted to show that these who JAMES WHO PLAYS THE STRA contend that true friendship does not exist among the performers are wrong, for, if the letter does not suggest a bit of sentiment, then Webster's dictionary, in defining the word, must be wrong. The letter: March 23, 1905 "My Dear Old Pal, Ernest I write you to-night with the hope that you are getting all right.

From press reports received, it appears that Margaret Scott, prima donna of the "Hottest Coon in Dixie" Company, is making the hit of her life. She has been given the sobriquet of the "Bronze Tetrazini," and the critics are loud in their praise of her singing. In several instances she has been called a wonder. The critic of the daily Candle Post Telegram is the brilliant writer on Mim Scott's ability as a singer said. "Miss Margaret Scott, heralded as the 'Bronze Tetrasnail,' made her first appearance in this city last night in S. H. Coon in Dixie." Five words tell the story. Miss Scott is a wonder. "It is claimed that she is a protege of Miss Helen Gould. If this be true then Miss Gould is to be congratulated with her.
