to Achieve Success with Wide Combination. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 6 — Persistent rumors have it that New President Fairbanks has threatened to pull away from the Fairbanks-Cannon-Knox Presidential combination and join Tuft. Last month, the report was first circulated throughout the country and at this writing information took through the rumors were well-founded and will be so well written. Fairbanks for the University. ```markdown ``` tion were imminent. It is a well-known fact that Senator Foraker was unbrained the heads of the combination for trying to secure delegates in the South were he has been so actively engaged. According to a Washington dispatch the "allies" have been allies in name only the apostolic weeks. The breach in the combination developed shortly after the Florida Convention. Governor Hughes was charged with being instrumental in sending Tonglass Wetmore to the Florida Convention to boop Hughes and block instrictions for Senator Foraker. Minute Murray Wetmore would be activity in the South he was unable to deliver the goods for those who sent him. Although Governor Hughes is not an active member of the combination, he has been regarded as in sympathy with its object. It is said. When this evidence of interference was discovered Senator Dick. Foraker's manager, be out a yell ofoll that brought Cannon, Fairbanks, and Knox up standing. Within an hour he has been arrested, and the managers for Cannon, Knox and Fairbanks, respectively, cooped up in the committee room. Senator Crane, general manager of the alliance, also was present. Senator Dick read the riot act to the quartet. He insisted that unless there was no interference with the plodging of Southern delegates to Foraker the alliance might as well take down its sign and go out of business. The Negro delegates belonged lightly. Foraker contended, and intended to split the war in the South would end in disarray. The soldiering indisinterested ended in the soldiers Homeway and Crane walking out angrily. It also brought a broadside from Senator Knox, who announced that if the allies continued their campaign of fighting the President it would wind up in a contested wreck. The conference marked the beginning of the end. An effort was made to short time after the organization by listing the services of LaLotte. Overtures were made to the Wisconsin Senator and good inducements held out to him if he would work in the general interests of the combination in certain territory. This territory was to include Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. Senator LaLotte refused. Driven to desperation, the allies sought to make a strong block of activity and gain control of all war harmony within their ranks. They engaged a president, initially, and for several weeks based on activity stirring to keep up with the output from the Taft type-writers. The publicity action is practically the only tie that now binds the four aspirants. An indication of the plight to which the allies are reduced is seen in their present willingness to throw up the bats and cheer the troops down by Senator Bourne. They are willing to warrant a second-elective term argument if only they can beat Taft. All their efforts now are directed to this end. The defection of Fairbanks has caused a chill in the camp. WEST VIRGINIA . STATE LIBRARAN. Phil Waters Elected for Fifth Time Member of Fifth Congressional District Looms Big as Applicant. CHARLSON, W. Ya, May 13—For the fifth time Mr. Phil Waters, well known as an author of considerable ability, has been elected member-at-large of the Fifth Congressional District of this State by the Republican party. His election took place recently at a meeting of the Fifth Congressional Committee. Mr. Waters is being mentioned for State Librarian to succeed the State Sam Starks, who has succeeded the large creating a vacancy. However, no canvass has been made by Mr. Waters for the position so far. The daily papers—both Democratic and Republican—speak highly of Mr. Waters. The Charleston Mail (Republican), in its issue of April 24, said: Recently Phil Waters, the Democrat of the colored state, was nominated for the fifth time, the Congressional District, who elected him, for the fifth time, a member-at-large of the Congressional Committee of the district. At present Waters is an efficient assistant in the clerk's office of the Supreme Court of Appeals. He's one of the brightest young men of his race and has been of valuable assistance in making majorities in the Third District. Also holds Mr. Waters in high esteem, and on April 23 wrote the following editorial concerning him: Among the many colored applicants for the position of State Librarian, made vacant by the death of the late Sam Starke, the one that looms biggest to those who are not politically interested in the appointment is that of Phi Beta Kappa, the non-profit Waterman can ever be appointed (but these reasons are political). He is qualified in every way for the position, both by experience and education. He has been Librarian of the House of Delegates, corporation clerk of the Secretary of State's office, clerk of the Finance Committee of the city of Charleston, clerk of the Department of Finance Committee of House of Delegates, U. S. Deputy Marshal, and has held many other positions, all tending to it him for the office. Apart from this in I. his wide acquaintance among the lend- ers of the MISSIONS personality his family many friends. He is polite and affable, and competent. If a colored man is to have the posi- tion Democrat would pick him and He publicists would not object. But polite reasons will: probably crash him. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

PHILOSOPHY M Evangelist Causes Severe Committal at Abysinik 1915 DENOUNCES EDUCATION Declares Himself Temporary Pastor of Church Associate Pastor Reserves hands by Leaving Service—Other Church Notes. From beginning occurring at Abysinik Baptist Church last Sunday morning it looks as though the affairs of the church were hardly settled. During the last week of the church over the "religion of ourselves" some members accepting this faith, lead by the former pastor, Rev. Chas. S. Morris, whose resignation was accepted Kent last month. For some weeks back one of two of the deacons of the church have employed a certain evangelist to conduct a revival service. At each service this evangelist has spoken in any but the most favorable terms of educated ministers and institutions of learning, at times denouncing both severely, and on one occasion declaring that educated ministerships and that our curry wasted their money when they supported such institutions. This mode of preaching is distasteful to the intelligent portion of Albyssinia congregation, and more so by the associate pastor of the church, who is a Christian gentleman of letters. Sunday the reporter of THE AGE was informed that this evangelist had announced his farewell sermon for Easter Sunday evening, but was still on the stage of action and would likely remain as long as he could make an easy ten dollars. Things, however, reached a crisis in the administration of the church affairs in the midst of an unrestful period, immediately after the collection had been lifted the associate pastor showed his disapproval of all former insults by leaving the auditorium for his residence rather than to assist in the other services that followed. After he had left the evangelist took the opportunity of announcing that he was now the temporary pastor of Albyssinia Church. How he could name himself a temporary pastor of the church mysteries in the church, and how he church independent as Albyssinia is, only elect pastors and associate pastors by a vote of the majority. This had not been done in the evangelist's case. It is needless to say that some decided action will be taken at the next business meeting of the church, as the present state of affairs is most unsatisfactory. Bethel Church. The May party held at Bethel A. m. E. Church last Friday was well attended and a great success. The supper under the charge of the stewardess was very elaborate. The Pastor's Aid Society furnished the entertainment and games. Miss Dora Cole resisted "When Mallady Sings." The contest of the crowning of the queen was as follows: Mrs. H. S. Sheppard, receiving 100 votes, was accorded the honor of being the most popular of the married ladies, and Miss Pauline Turner, receiving 64 votes, was declared the most popular single lady. Rev. Rannah and Brother Rush P. Fitzsimon having departed for General Conference Saturday night, Rev. J. P. Sampam having charge of service Sunday. He delivered a speech at the conference and congregations. All services were well attended and of great spiritual benefit. Rev. R. E. Mackel will preach next Sunday. At the meeting of the Forum on Thursday host the speakers were Rev. J. James, of San Dimasiano; Rev. Brian Johnson from South Africa; and Rev. Wanho Mohone, of South Africa. St. James Church. At the 11 o'clock services at St. James Presbyterian Church Rev. C. LeRoy Butler delivered a most eloquent sermon from Acts 18-19. "Then spoke the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace." The encouragement of Paul. He dwelt on encouragement and its value. Sunday School and Christian the deavor were largely stowed. In the evening the Narrator of the Lord's Supper was administered. Ten new members were received publicly in the church and given their first Communion. St. Mark's Lodge St. Mark's Lecrom was crowded from door to door on last Sunday afternoon to hear Dr. William L. Bulkley, professor of Public School No. 8, speak on the subject "The Way Out." The meeting was opened by a chorus under Mue. Randall's direction. Mr. Allen, introduced Mr. S. R. Scottron, who gave several reminiscences of New York as it was thirty years ago. A very sympathetic solo was sung by Miss Elise Johnson. Dr. Brooks introduced Dr. Bulkley as the father of 2,000 children. Dr. Bulkley said: "Like a man lost in the Catacombs of Rome we colored people have been grouping to find the way out of our difficulties; his way out is a cord composed of the scapegoat, the first in religion; the scapegoat, the song body, the third a good education, and the soul, ultrism. His address was most pleasing and practiced. Miss Eva Palmer sang a very pretty solo. V. M. C. A. Nate At the men's meeting of the Y. M. C. A. Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's Church, delivered a spirited address. Remarks were also made by Col. Donnis, the merchant prince, and Roy, J. L. Sims, both lately arrived from Africa, the speakers were greeted by a large audience, and the base ball club of the branch is practicing on all opportunities and preparing for a busy season. Y. W. C. A. Newton; At the Young Women's Christian Association the members and friends were highly entertained Sunday by Dr. R. C. Frasier, who spoke on "Christian Joy." He said that holy joy comes from lofty views and elevated thoughts. Mr. Fred. R. Moore, of Tuz New York, Aug. was present and generously donated to the Association two year subscription "Tug Aug and the Colored American Museum." The congregation given by the Association at St. James Church should be well patronized, as it promises to be on an elaborate scale and the cause is most worthy. After the opening services of St. Mark's Church Rev. Brooks invited a few of the congregation to his residence to meet Rev. J. L. Sims and Col. Dennis, merchant from Mineroya, Liberian, delegates to the conference of the M. E. Church. The portion of Mt. Olivet's congregation which has been causing Pastor Gillibert out of the past this past took out an injunction preventing his preaching Sunday morning. Pastor Gilibert and members of the board of deacons were able to have the injunction set aside and he conducted services in his usual satisfactory style. Mother Glen Nates. Dr. McMullen preached his farewell sermon at Mother Zion Church last Sunday evening to a large and appreciative audience. He has served this church faithfully and efficiently for four years and has built up a large membership. While, Mother Zion has always had a large following of people the attendance fell off considerably after the sale of the old church at West 10th and Bloecker streets, but owing to Dr. McMullen's dedication to the church nearly all that she host and is one among the most influential church in the city, Dr. McMullen leaves this work for the general conference which meets in Philadelphia and unless all signs fail he will be chosen as the head of the missionary department. On Sunday evening, April 26, Dr. McMullen preached a very able sermon to the Galilean Fisherman and their invited guests, the Independent order of St. Luke A. Pentecostal memorial ply on the same Sunday nearly 85$ was raised and presented to him. Miss Ethel Harrison presented a high class program last Sunday afternoon which was replete with many entertaining features. The singing of Miss Walker and the piano solo by Miss Ethel Richardson deserve special mention. The fourth quarterly conference, which was held on Tuesday evening, April 28, was very successful and elected warm praise from Presiding Elder W. Weir. With the help of Dr. Mullen as pastor and Dr. Newly as presiding elder were unanimously voted for. Alonzo A. Rives was elected as a delegate to the annual conference. Dr. McMullen was tendered a fine reception on Tuesday evening in honor of his birthday. Several of the prominent clergy of the city were present and made speeches complimentary of the work of Dr. McMullen since his incumbency as pastor of Mother Zion Church. The cannata, "Muth and Homa," which was to have been given last Thursday evening was postponed until Friday evening of this week. In that case, the custom of several of the choirs, Class No. 3, held its annual reunion last Wednesday evening, at which time ice cream, etc., were served between speeches by the pastor and several others. The funeral of Mr. Charles H. Dempsey was held from Mother Zion Church last Monday evening. Dr. McMullen officiating. Mr. Dempsey was the brother of Mrs. S. F. Brinton, a prominent member of the church. Mr. Napoleon Marshall Calla Upon Secretary Taft. WASHINGTON, D. C. May 4, 1908. Most of the visitors who come to Washington at the present season call to see not only the President but Secretary Taft; that is, they make the attempt at least to see these two individuals. Secretary Taft is being overwhelmed just now with prominent people from various parts of the country and from the District of Columbia who are assure him of their necessity called to pay their respects to the secretary and to assure him of his support was Mr. Napoleon Marshall, member of the District of Columbia bar. Read on Second Day by Bishop William B. Derrick. It defines the Attitude and Obligations of the Bishops—The Great Need of a Well Trained Ministry—The Higher and Better Development of the Youth of the Church and Race. MILLEK, VA., May 6.—There is little doubt that the 23d General Conference of the A. M. E. Church, now in session in this city, will be long remembered by those present. Norfolk is filled this week with hundreds of Negro men and women—some of whom are, delegates—others who seldom miss a big conference of the A. M. E. Church and travel many miles to show their interest in the church. Nearly 500 delegates are here from various parts of the country, and the conference opened Monday with a crowded church and plenty of religious fervor. One of the interesting subjects discussed long before the conference convened was the probable selection of bishops. Those being favorably mentioned are the Rev. Henry Blunton Parks, editor of the Voice of Mission; the Rev. H. T. Johnson, Ph. D., editor of the Witness Leapson, and the Rev. Edward Wiles Lampion, of Mississippi, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church. Conference convened Monday morning with Bishop John Wesley Gaines presiding. Bishop Turner was unable to be present on account of sickness. The full Episcopal services were observed, which were lengthy and beautiful. it is easy to see that much more might be accomplished in advancing the interests of the common faith and in promoting its more universal diffusion, than is practicable in our present divided state. We consider that the Church of Christ constitutes one body, of which He is the Divine Head, and should therefore be so organized as to exhibit to the view of the world the appearance as well as the reality of unity. The Sabbath Holy Day. The face of Christian Salbath are still active in the church, abrogate it or to convert it into a day of communion and sin. Intulgence, with all the evils it entails, is on the increase. During the past four years the illegal butchery of American citizens has taken place, which is not flattering to our civilization or government, until sometimes we are compelled to injure, "Has justice returned to heaven, that mob law must reign to execute her behests?" The God must set her soul of condemnation in a manner of compassion, and the taking of life without hesitation, which a righteous government has instituted for the trial of the guilty. Yet taking a higher view of the situation from the lofty peaks of the granite hills of New England, paralleling the growth of the nation, the spirit of truth, religious lib- The second day of the conference was made notable by the quinternary address of the Bishops of the A. M. E. Church read by Bishop William B. Derrick. The address in part: Dearly Beloved Brethren in Christ, Greeting: The God of all grace has been pleased, during the past four years, to pour out His blessings in a general way on the people of our denomination in all sections of the Church. As ministers and laymen, our devotion to Christ should be expressed in the most absolute manner. We should enter more energetically into His service, should manifest a greater degree of reverence for the honor of His name, and be more deeply interested in the extension of His kingdom upon earth. Our renunciation of the world should become more apparent and complete as the years roll by, and a clear conception of the spirit of self-denial be more strictly held. We should act with greater resolution and with greater faithfulness to the cause of our Lord and Master. Our devotion should increase to a higher pitch than most Christians are willing to believe is attainable in this life. Our attitude should be as having no interest to serve, no indulination to gratify, nor any connection to maintain, but such as are entirely conformable to the nature of our union with our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. Wherever we go let us breathe the spirit of devotion, and wherever we are familiarly known let the forgiver, the resolution, and the constancy that devotion be universally apparent. That devotion be universally apparent to the powerful obligations by which we are bound in the King of kings, who is the Author and Finisher of our faith, our vows of genuine affection and fidelity should be prayerfully and solently renewed, as occasion offers, both in public and in private. Let this line of conduct be followed through all the vicissitudes of our Christian warfare. Church Statistics. The following are the statistics for the year: Bishops, 12; general officers, 10; presiding elders, 320; traveling elders, 3,308; traveling deacons, 1,100; licensitates, 1,257; superannuated preachers, 233; local elders, 229; local deacons, 624; local preachers, 8,377; exhorters, 6,018; probationers, 105,525; lay members, 800; additional authorities, including our regulations, approximately 2,000,000. Total support and traveling expenses of the ministry, received during the year, $1,146,558. Total amount of money raised for all purposes for the year, $2,738,701,068. Number of annual conferences, 68. The church departments are as follows: Education and publication missionary; Sunday school, financial preacher; aid, church extension, and Allen Endover; besides her numerous schools and colleges. Speaking of the need of a well-trained ministry, Bishop Derrick read:: The rapid numerical growth of our Church and the vast area over which it is swiftly expanding; the various countries being carried on; the constantly changing social and economic conditions surrounding those for whom and with whom we labor, all combine to increase both the number and the gravity of the questions and the problems which must be confronted and dealt with in the task of directing her complex and numerous activities. We are constantly receiving applications for positions of our children are being trained in Willerforce, Kittrell, Allen, Morris Brown, Paul Quinn, Shorter, Campbell, Stringer, Edward Waters, Western University, Payne University—to say nothing of our public schools. A Stronger Fellowship. Unhappily, the Church of Christ is at present divided into a great variety of distinct organizations, from which it results that instead of marching forward with united front against a common foe, punch of the time and strength of the different denominations are wasted in opposing each other, and not infrequently has the world believe the strange spear of church opposing each other. Over this state of things the church has long had occasion to mourn, and it seems to be time that some systematic effort should be made to bring into fellowship the different portions of the household of faith. In our country there now exists five distinct branches of Colored Methodists, whose views of angelical truth, theology, and doctrine are different standard, are uninterestingly new and different whose form of government in the same. Could these bodies be brought more closely together so as to act in concert, it is easy to see that much more might be accomplished in advancing the interests of the common faith and in promoting its more universal diffusion, than is practicable in our present divided state. We consider that the Church of Christ constitutes one body, of which He is the Divine Head, and should therefore be so organized as to exhibit to the view of the world the appearance as well as the reality, of unity. The foes of our Christian Sabbath are still murder in their efforts to abrogate it or to murder it into a day of merriment and sin. Impersonation, with all the evils it entails, is on the agenda. Ding the past four years the illegal, butchery of American citizens has taken place, which is not flattering to our civilization or government, until sometimes we are compelled to injure. "Has justice returned to heaven, that mob law must reign to execute her behoost?" The church of God must set her seal of condemnation on all lawlessness, and the righteous government must be instituted for the trial of the guilty. Yet facing a higher view of the situation from the lofty peaks of the granite hills of New England, paralleling the growth of the nation, the spirit of truth, religious liberty, rightousness and patriotism, these are plainly visible in their beneficent workings, evermore leading the Republic on and up to greater heights of moral and religious elevation. Education rears simple everywhere. The church, vital in all directions. Education of God, advances in all directions. From Christian homes issue moral and religious influences, which, added to faith in God, render the safety of the nation possible. This is a Christian nation. Politics must yield to the eternal laws of righteousness. The Press. The press, untrained by party chains, must rise to a higher plane. Justice must be enthroned in the heart of the nation. Then she shall advance along the line of national greatness to higher freedom, purer religion, broader abstraction and a nobler civilization. Retrospection. The African Methodist Episcopal Church has for its aim the higher and better development of the youths of the church and race. The only and better way for the elaborating of a people is to put their position before their minds their true condition in society and economic, political and intellectual sense, and should we succeed in improving the necessity of improving along these lines much would be accomplished. Under the pretense of serving the cause of good morals, certain writers often correspond with a class of papers on articles detailing the most cruel of scandals, affecting persons of respectability belonging to the race. The stories are often circulated by timid, private, malicious gossipers and newsmongers who have no regard for the sanctity of private life. They swallow the unsavory mess as sound food for imagination; ministers and these scandals as texts for sermons on the widespread immorality of the race. Let us discourage that class of persons who delight in becoming the vehicle wherein this poison is peddled, instead of giving official sanction to such evils by taking them into the pulpit. The Manner of Praying. The prayers are generally made too long. The people cannot avoid being weary. It would be better to have a greater number of prayers during the service, and have them shorter—say, three prayers. The invocation which opens the services, the second one following the anthem by choir and congregation, then the third following the sermon, then the fourth following the sermon, will as little profit to brethren who were requested to deliver the opening prayer at the beginning of the services, and who undertook to deliver the sermon instead of offering a prayer; completely forgetting all the proprieties of ministerial as well as Christian etiquette in their attempt to create undue excitement among the congregations who had assembled to be instructed out of the Word of God. A close study of the prayers of the great privilege of prayer, but will also teach us how to pray. The prayer that is most acceptable to the Throne of Grace is at once a confession of sin, a pleading for help, an urgent request, a grasping of God, and a thanksgiving for mercies you touched. Ostracism Inhuman. There is a keen and indescribable disgust hurking within the bosom of the thoughtful) and refined members of the race in this country, springing from the ostracism to which they are subjected. Of course there are thousands of colored people who rarely or never experience any sense of humiliation growing out of their culture. Many of them naturally obtuse, and hence indifferent, but among those who have enjoyed the advantages of home life, schools and colleges; and are conscious of their powers and culture, which are equal, and sometimes superior, to that of those who attempt this ostracism, who in their hearts feel the sting of this injustice, which in all the activities and associations of life, discriminates against them on account of their race, their religion, their anti-Christian, and harlous, and should be buried—hastily so—in the grave side by side with that infamous institution, slavery. Yet, while we believe the colored man stands more in need of help than the white, who is better fitted by circumstances to protect himself, we thank God that there are those of us who, from our youth, have grown up to that point where we can get in a line with the Apostle who declared that "God is no respecter of persons." Then, in the words greater living in the modern in the opening of the battle of the Sea of Japan, we reiterate Admiral Toro's signal to the Jeet: "The destiny of our Empire depends on this action—you are all expected to do your utmost." Maryland to National Convention, Baltimore, Maryland, and then afternoon at the Charity Organization Building, on Saratoga and Liberty street, a most admirable paper was read by Mrs. Georgine B. Harris, setting forth the need of a well-equipped day nursery in this city for Afro-American children. The paper was well-written, generally and favorably discussed by many of those present. The Nursery Association, of which Mrs. Harris is president, has kept the subject well before the public for some time and they already have in hand several hundred dollars toward the purchase of a suitable institution. It certainly is a most laudable undertaking and it ought to appeal strongly to all of our own people. The Rev. Dr. J. T. Jenifer, who for a number of years has been a resident of our city, was at the late session of the Baltimore Annual Conference appointed to the charge of the church of the Church of the Blessed Dr. and Mrs. Jenifer will be greatly felt in this city. The closing of the Paca Dancing Academy in this city last Friday evening was not only one of spectacular beauty but it was well patronized and was thoroughly enjoyed. The first part of the concert was extravaganza entitled "Robin Hood" by afternoon class in dancing. It was held at Union Concert Hall, on Baltimore street, and the much-famed Gearing Band furnished the music for the occasion. After the conclusion of the play there was a grand reception and dance, which was shared in by a great outpouring of Baltimore's not society people. Mr. H.

CHE ESSEX COUNTY POLITICS. Scene of Unusual Political Activity—J. T. Cheshire, Delegate to State Council. Newark, N. J., May 4.—Essay County has been the scene of unusual political activity the past two weeks. The primaries and conventions of both parties have engaged extraordinary interest and the results have surprised the wise ones. The Bryanties were the first to go to Great Disappointment, which can be seen by the state's plate knockout to the Anti-Taffers. The result of the Democratic convention last week put the Bryan boom on the shelf. The same dose was prepared by the organization Republicans for the Secretary of War, but it is due to the astute John T. Cheshire that the Essex County delegation saved the day for the distinguished Ohioan. Mr. Cheshire is the president of the first William Howard Taft Club organized in New Jersey, and is a delegate from this county to the State convention. At the caucus of the delegation Friday evening, when it had been practically agreed to leave all resolutions endorsing candidates in the committee to which they were referred. Mr. Cheshire read his resolution upon the door, and so took the politicians by surprise that before they could marshal their forces the Mrs. A. J. Campbell in honor of their son, A. J.

May 6—Providence Business League, held its first meeting Thursday, April 30th, at Pond Street F. B. Church. A most interesting and practical address was delivered by Mr. T. B. Stowell, president of Bryant and Stratton's Business College. Mr. Stowell's remarks were browniest of optimistic views relative to the opportunities of Americans, who would start in business, if they will only operate in a business way. He spoke with much stress upon the absolute necessity of getting money, and declared furthermore that when accumulated, be it ever so small amounts, it should be made to work for us. The business leaders pointedly and strongly directed to the practice of self-destal. "Learn," said the speaker, "to save at least five cents out of each dollar earned and thus make a capital upon which to found some business enterprise." In the course of his address Mr. Stowell stated with much emphasis that the great head of the National Negro Business League, Dr. Booker T. Wash- CHESHIRE motion was passed instructing the delegates from this district "to vote for Senate Taft as long as he remains a candidate before the Chicago convention." Mr. Chishire's clever act created a wide sensation, the newspaper of both parties commending him for his ability in out-generalizing able political manipulators like former Governor Franklin Murphy, German Dalynpyle and their best lieutenant. The sudden death of Mrs. James Guy, of 258 Washington street, is a profound loss to the community. The funeral services were held at the Bethany Baptist Church on Monday, which office was crowded to the doors. Rev. R. D. Wyman preached the funeral sermon. One of the original Roosevelt-Taft men, Attorney George A. Donglass, was chosen as an alternate to the Chicago convention. Mr. Donglass is one of the best little men to be found in the round room, and politics, and he is for Wm. II. Taft for President first, last and all the time. Miss Maud Scott and Mrs. Sarah Randolph will leave shortly for a visit to the New England States, Mrs. Louise Rogers and Mrs. John H. Lightfoot will spend the month on a farm near Elizabethtown, Roxboro, and Roxboro, attending attention and a substantial clientele as a tooth surgeon.

Gray, opening remarks, allure of the audience, and presentation to local business leaders, C. W.

On last Thursday, at noon, occurred the sad death of Mr. George William Rahn, the retiring president of St. Marks Literary Association, at his late residence, IS Greenwich Park. Mr. Rahn was one of the brightest and most promising young men in Boston. Born in Savannah in 1830, he moved to his native city, for some years after which he entered the Georgia State College. His real preparation for college was made however at the Roybury Larn School, Boston, from which he graduated with high honors in 1857. He was captain of the delisting club which defeated the seniors, and in his senior year he won both of the first prizes given for A. B. excellence in oratory. In 1801 he was appointed regular clerk in the Boston post office, which position he held until stricken by illness. In 1801 he married Miss Bessie G. Smith, a handsome young lady from Sumptown, S.C. On their fifth, a little girl from Sumptown, S.C. One month earlier, a gentleman and must be counted among the great classes to the community.

Lennox Baptist Church, West Springfield, Mass., where Mr. Ward was picked to the door last Thursday at the funeral services. The funeral procession was essential to and from the church by the Elders of Greater Boston headed by the equally organized Cambridge Lodge of which the deceased was a member. A dedication of pews other than the memorial was held at the Ward of the Elenzoe Church, obtained by Roy S. A Brown of St. Mark's Congregational Church. The Amphion Ms. Quarterly, a repository of Mosses, Charles Spart, Matthew Walton, Shilton Pollen, and J. G. Holmes, according to the deceased's request, sang appropriate and touching selections. The pathbarriers were: Dr. E. E. Robinson, Mossis, Samuel Gillim, A. V. Jones, and G. W. Tarrant. Soon印象 were the beautiful floral offerings that a separate committee had prepared for him. What was prepared the most successful effort, which makes all Boston and the trace indebted to him, was his revolutionizing of St. Mark's Literary Association. Free speech and a hearing to all sides of any question were guaranteed by the strong and square administration of the popular young president. This past year has been for the most successful St. Mark's. Mr. Robinson, the deans of the president and the executive committee headed by Dr. R. E. Robinson, A series of brilliant and practical addresses have been delivered this year and a goodly sum of money has accumulated in the treasury. It was the ambition of Mr. Rahm to have Dr. Ecker T. Washburn to have Dr. Ecker T. Washburn looking to the pressure of engagements this was impossible. St. Mark's Literary, the forum of the race in Boston, was the contribution of George W. Rahn.

Zlen Church, after having been in session here for the past week was adjourned last evening to meet next year with the church at Newark. The session was the most harmonious and profitable held in the long history of the conference. The deliberations of the session were presided over by the Right Rev. Alexander Walters and the visiting bishops were Rt. Ivy R. J. Caldwell and Rt. Rev. W. Clinton. In his remarks address Bishop Walters denied that he was a Negro Democrat, as he is being called and declared that his fight was within party lines. Dr. R. R. Ball, of Jersey City, was chosen as secretary of the Conference and did his work in a most proficient manner. Richard T. W. Smith was selected as the Conference's representative for the daily cameras. The principal feature of the Conference besides its delivery of the stirring addresses by its bishops and the general officers, was the annual report of Presiding Elder C. D. Hazel, who told of the work that had been accomplished, by the various churches during the last year. These reports, and that the year churches had been affiliated with a marked degree of success; that harmony prevailed in the ranks of Zion and that many splendid financial and spiritual results had been accomplished. The work of the Rev. J. R. Bungefield, at Ridgewood, was especially commended, he having built a new church and dedicated it free of debt. All of the men were praised for this labor of love and many commendations were made of the members of its many local churches. There was much on tap during its session and able to make a good impression. T. T. I. Adam, J. H. McBald, J. D. Meade, S. R. Corrorthes, W. T. Biddle, and other members of the Conference. The women, under the direction of Mrs. Florence Randolph, had charge of the exercises on Monday and addresses in which the cause of missions was discussed were delivered by Mrs. J. B. Small, wife of the late Bishop Small, Mrs. Bishop Walters, Mrs. C. D. Hazel, Mrs. J. Dangerfield, Mrs. Carrie D. Hazel, Mrs. J. C. Temple and others, and reports were received from the various missionary societies. The reports that were submitted by General Officers Franklin, Caffrey, Morland and several representatives from the various missionary institutions showed that Zion was still moving onward and is acquiring much new territory in the East. The labors of Bishop Walters in the Episcopal District for the past 12 years have been productive of great results and the Conference unanimously petitioned to the General Conference for his return. The stay of the preachers and delegates here has been a most pleasing one and Dr. W. H. Batchellier, the pastor of the church, and his good people have spared our time in the church. The homes of the many families were thrown open for the entertainment of the delegates and under the leadership of Mrs. W. H. Batchellier the women have been uniting in their efforts to give satisfaction to all. The conference has never been more splendidly entertained. The weather has been fierce, but the work accomplished for the cause of civilization of the city, the purpose of Conference here has more than offset that. Great religious fervor prevailed during the session and many were added to the church. Dr. W. H. Batchellier was returned as pastor and Dr. C. D. Hazel as presiding elder. Many important changes were made in the pastorates, but the most perfect harmony prevailed. The bishop's Godly admonition to the men was received in good spirit and presidents were with strong determination to do great things in Zion during the coming year. And now we move on to Philadelphia, where the General Conference will convene today in the Wesleyan A. M. E. Zion Church, 18th and Lombard streets, where for the next three weeks the rise and progress of the denomination for the past four years shall be told of and three new bishops will be elected. The Conference will be called to order at noon by the venerable Right Rev. James Walker Hood, the senior bishop of the church.

Interment at Fairmount Cemetery. Albion Notre. The concert given in Allen A. M. E. Church on last Thursday evening was an excellent success: It was well attended by people from Rochester, Lockport, Gaines and other places. Great credit is due the Rev. Brown, D. D., the popular pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, Rochester, N.Y., who was also arrested on "The Negro Problem." Miss Abide Franklin, elocutionist, and Miss Elsie Town, the violinist, were present. ```markdown ``` No little credit is due Prof. S. E.

Miss Margerite Randolph of Riverside was Miss Mia Bell. TWENTY-THIRD GENERAL CONFERENCE. The Age Correspondent Writes Interestingly of the A. M. E. Conference —The Trip South. The last three months have been, no doubt, a period of great activity in African Methodist circles in the United States, Canada, the West Indies, South America and West and South Africa, for this greatest of all known Negro organizations is not only operating at home, but is working successfully in the countries above named preparing for the Twenty third General Conference fixed to be held in Norfolk, Vic. in the present month. Delegates we can imagine were straining every day to be present at all their congregations made horrible efforts to send their pastors to the great assembly in good shape. Norfolk was, of course, doing her best to be ready to entertain the nearly 500 delegates and 200 or 300 visitors who would for three weeks tray her hospitality. We might say here that the action of the General Conference Commission in selecting a Southern city as the seat of the conclave has been rather harshly criticised in some quarters, but while the conditions in the South, so far as the Negro is concerned, are not so harsh, it is true that an act of indiscretion on the part of either a hot-headed white or black might precipitate unpleasant results in any Southern city, and at any time, yet the critics are rather premature in their sarmisings in the present circumstances. Surely a body of Christian gentlemen may be depended upon to not discredit, while the white men in the Southern whites to be unconverted savages thirsting for the Negro's blood. In some localities in Dixie conditions are better than is generally known, but the South has unfortunately gained for herself such a bad name that there are few people outside of her borders who do not consider this fair and beautiful land a vestibule, of—well, anywhere except heavier—so far as the Negro is concerned. If some men, who would consider themselves highly insulted if they were called foods, would cause fermenting bad blood and poisoning, they would assist in retrieving the dead name of the Southland, of which they pretend to be good, they would win for themselves immoral fame instead of the eternal condemnation which they seem blindly anxious to have associated with their names. The delegates began to arrive at Norfolk from the 29th of April and will continue to come until long after the conference is organized. Every train brings contingents to Fort Charles, thence to be ferried to Chapels, Bay to Norfolk, while all along the route may be groups hastening to the city on which the eyes of a million African Methodists are fixed and on which their thoughts are centered. Our correspondent journeyed with one of these groups from New York. Among the party were; Dr. H. B. Parks, secretary of Missions of his church, and by far the most prominent candidate for the bishopric; Dr. L. C. Curtis, superintendent of the Elderian Mission field, a candidate for elevation to the office of bishop for West Africa; Dr. Rouen A. Sanky, the senior missionary of the church, and whom the missionaries are urging to stand for election for Secretary of Missions; Dr. Pinkney, of Philadelphia, a prominent candidate for the Editorship of the Christian Recorder, and several other delegates, not a few of whom were missionaries from the foreign fields. The Southern Flavor. The trip was a most enjoyable one until we entered Maryland, when most of us got our first taste of the Southern flavor of that most bitter and accursed plant—race prejudice. The conductor's "at the next; stop take the car ahead," was an intimation that we had passed from two intimation that we had passed in stagnation, stagnation, and conditions bordering on those of the middle ages. Of course we went. The Breachers' Hearts: It was during the small hours of Sunday morning—for we had left New York on the night of the 1st inst.—when the change was made, and we are sure that the preachers' faces indicated that had their tongues uttered what their hearts felt they would have said some hard, but true, things. However, they got even to some extent, for on the boat at Fort Charles some Italian immigrants were sent to their compartment of the boat and Mr. Sigs, of New York, protested to the authorities against the intrusion with the result that the immigrants were turned out. Somebody seems to have cursed the Southland with a bitter curse which is slowly but surely eating out its sitals. A terrible sense of horror and stagnation opposes us as soon as our prayers are praying, proaching Negroes are the only way Dixie. They should set aside a month for prayer and fasting that the rot which has set in might, be stopped; for the patient, long-suffering Negro loves his native land despite all her injustice and cruelty to him. What a chance for Tillman to eternally benefit Dixie if he would but get converted and spend the remaining days of a wasted, but richly endowed life, in perpetual prayer for his and his THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MAY 7, 190 THE HAYNES R (DEPA Agents Wanted Everywhere----Write for Terms.

The Illinois Supreme Court's Decision Significant After several years of litigation in which the case was remanded time and time again by the Supreme Court of Illinois to the trial court, the celebrated Scott Bibb's case, wherein the question of whether there should be mixed schools in Illinois according to the statutes, has been decided in favor of the Negroes. The Supreme Court at Springfield recently handed down an opinion holding that Illinois provided for mixed schools, and that the jurors, who disregarded the law because they were personally opposed to its enforcement are far more dangerous than utterances of ignorant, depraved and vicious persons who are opposed to all law. The decision grew out of a case of long standing in Alton, Ill. Some years ago there was very little anti-Negro sentiment in Alton, but the influx of Southerners, as is usually the case, soon crystallized a new feeling toward the Negro citizens. At the time the white and colored children attended the same schools, but a crusade was made against mixed schools, and a Negro school was opened. Scott Bibb, an old Negro resident, refused to send his children to the Negro school, contending that the statutes of Illinois did not provide for separate schools. He instituted proceedings for damages in the Circuit Court, and the jury decided against him. Through his attorney, the late Senator John M. Palmer, he appealed the case to the Supreme Court, which remanded the case to the lower court for a rehearing. In this way—from the lower court, to the higher court and from the higher court to the lower for another trial—the case has been hanging for years. On each occasion the Supreme Court sent instructions to the trial court to enforce the law, but even justice called refused to give a judgment in the plaintiff's favor. The final decision of the Supreme Court is a great victory for the Negroes of Illinois, and is significant. If some members of the race who are constantly clamoring for manhood rights would adopt the policy of Mr. Scott Hibb, of Illinois, probably better results would occur. Left Outside of the Breastworks If we are too greatly mistaken in our prediction, it will be found that the greater part of the delegates who have been elected to the Chicago Convention through the means of bogus district and State conventions will be left at home. The nomination of Secretary Tait is now so nearly assured that the people who have been spending money to institute these bogus conventions are hardly likely to spend money to pay the expenses of delegates to Chicago whose services will not be of any value or will not be needed there. In this whole matter there is another lesson for our people. The schemers who have been using the Southern colored people for the most part as tools in order to bolster up false chins to recognition will throw our braithins overboard now that they cannot be used to answer their intended purpose at Chicago—at least this is our prediction. Why did not the same influence which have been spilling thousands of dollars sending men through the South to carry on bogus conventions attempt to organize the same kind of conventions in States like Massachusetts and New York and New Jersey? They were too economical to attempt this. They spent their money among a class of people who, by their ignorance and lack of experience, could be used to answer their purpose. The whole thing has proven a dismal failure and should be a great lesson to our people. What is the Matter with the New England Negro? For over a year a certain element of the race in New England, and especially in Massachusetts, has been continually gesticulating and going into many forms of hysteries, holding all kinds of meetings and giving the race which Cotton did allow to be legislated not to do concerning its political salvation. When it comes down to brass backs, however, it is difficult for the man to own a tree to discover where or how one brethren in New England exert influence if any influence on political conditions in their own States. There is schooling a State in the Union where any considerable number of Afro-Americans have their institution that has not elected Afro-Americans who as delegates from some district or sent them as alternate delegates to the Convention at Chicago. But so far not a single recognition of the kind has been obtained by any Negro in the New England States. Yet they hold more meetings than in any other section of the country, give advice to the Negroes in the South and throughout the country for that matter, as to how to act regarding their political future. Is it not time for our New England brethren to begin to look after their own interests? It does seem that a State like Massachusetts would have sent one Afro-American either as delegate or alternate to Chicago. In Greater New York alone two alternates have been sent to the convention. The South is sending scores. In four New England brethren want their advice and their hysteries respected they must deliver the goods and cease talking so much. Praising the Dead, Damning the Living There is a custom among some people to praise continually those who are dead and to slander continually those who are living. Few public men were ever more abused than was true of Abraham Lincoln. At the present time none is more warmly and loudly praised. While Tire Ack has the very highest respect for the memory and deeds of Lincoln, yet it does not hesitate to assert that Theodore Roosevelt has actually said and done more in the interest of the Afro-American than Abraham Lincoln did except in the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. It is a well known fact that Mr. Lincoln expressed himself on more than one occasion against the universal enfranchisement of the Negro. What he would have done if he had lived difficult to state; but it is, nevertheless, a fact that Mr. Lincoln appointed almost no Negroes to office while Roosevelt has appointed scores. It is just as well/so praised some people while they live for their good deeds as to wait until they pass away. It is a well known fact that when Frederick Douglass lived he was constantly abused by a certain class of people. The same was true of Seator Bruce and Mr. Langston. Many now load in their praise of these people since they have passed away were most vehement when they lived. It is worth while to speak well of the living when they deserve it as well as the dead. The Conferring of Degrees The season of the year is fast approaching when many of our colleges and universities will be considering the matter of conferring degrees. There ought to be fewer degrees conferred—especially by institutions wholly managed by Negroes—than has been true betrotho. Some of the institutions have injured themselves in their wholesale method of conferring degrees. Not only have they done this, but have also cheapened degrees by reason of the number conferred to the extent that many of our best men refuse to accept them from certain institutions because of their cheapness. Some institutions confer them by the wholesale. This should be stopped. A degree should be conferred for distinct merit and merit alone; a degree should be conferred for some high and exceptional ability in certain sciences, literature or theology. Some of our institutions make the mistake of trying to make themselves popular by conferring degrees. The result is just the opposite. Where one man is pleased because he receives a degree, twenty others are made angry because they do not receive one. The best institutions—such as Harvard and Yale—confer very few degrees. Harvard sold confession more than two degrees of Divinity during a single commencement. Some of our institutions confer a dean. This is needless and painful. As reform should be instituted at once. It would not injure the race if no more degrees were conferred for several years. Lunga vs. Brains It is often remarked by those who attend the large religious gatherings, held by our people in different portions of the country, that the strongest men are soldier heard on the floors of the conventions and conferences. This is notably true in the case of the National Baptist Convention and the various general conferences held by the Methodist denomination. In most cases the man who has the greatest lung power is the man who gets a hearing on the floor of the convention, while the man who is modest and possesses less lung power, but has more brains, seldom gets a hearing. Often these important bodies, in this way, lose the benefit of the words and the advice of some of the best men connected with them. This should not be so. Brains should count for more than lung power. the NAV YORK THE HARBOY THE TOWN Mr. Bryan has made his great bid for Southern delegates, and, we do care that he will get them. In answer to a question after his address on "Brotherhood" at Cooper University up openly for Negro enfranchisement in the South. Of course, he had to present in the usual assent that Southern Republicans had lived in Southern they would have gone the same as Southern Democrats, but what has that to do with a question of morals and of law, which Mr. Bryan was professing to discuss without any personal or party interest? He years over the oppressed Filipino; his heart bleeds for the poor and downtrodden everywhere; yet when it comes to equal treatment for the black man of his own country, all he has to say is that the white men of the South are determined that the Negro shall be disfranchised everywhere if it is necessary to prevent the recurrence of the horrors of carpet-bug rule." This will be telegraphed all over the South, and will doubtless kill off all opposition to Bryan there; but it leaves his "Universal, Brotherhood" looking like the cheapest kind of cant. The wronged Negro asks: "Am I not a man and a brother?" but Mr. Bryan's reply is: "Not if you live in the South, and if saying a word for your rights would imperil my political fortunes."—New York Evening Post. And yet this is the man Dr. DuBois advises the Afro-American people of the United States to support for the Presidency. The Conscience of the White South It is past understanding to the average man how Southern white people continue in their anti-justice policy in many ways toward the Afro-American population. The city of Atlanta, Ga., has received a large sum of money for a public library. It collects from the taxpayers, black and white, fifty thousand dollars a year toward the upheep of this library. The city of New Orleans has received a much larger amount from Mr. Carnegie and spends more than fifty thousand dollars toward the maintenance of the library. In such case the money spent in training of the library is gathered from black and white taxpayers, still not a Negro can enter any of these libraries—even to read a newspaper—except in the capacity of junior. What we have said of these two cities is equally true of others in the South. Where is the conscience of the white people of the South? Where is their religion? Can they expect to retain the confidence and the respect of the world when such glaring injustice prevails without rebuke? TeG's Nomination The following editorial from the editorial pages of the *Evening Post* will prove of interest. The Evening Post is a clear-headed, sane paper, and it would not condescend Mr. Taft's nomination without having facts upon which to base its statement: Secretary Taft may sail for Panama today with the comfortable assurance that, in nursing accidents, his nomination for the Presidency is assured. It is evident that his campaign has now gained such impetus that all third politicians who wish to be on the winning side will listen to attach themselves to his cause. Yesterday's conventions show how strong is the drift his way. Though Maine did not instruct for him, the delegates favor him, and a resolution of "preference" was passed. Powerful politicians in Maryland had been against the Secretary, but the convention in that State instructed for Taft. The same was the case in North Carolina, as previously in Colorado. --- An Objectionable Republican Deputy from Mississippi state of a Negro Republican was run off of the town of Brewsher, Miss., by a young white Republican who did not wait this colored Republican to express his sentiment. If this is true it is disgraceful. This kind of a white Republican is not wasted in the party either by Mr. Taft, Mr. Rossewalt, Mr. For- maker or anybody else, and the sooner the party risks itself of such so-called Republicans the better it will be. The National Baptist Union Vantage the strong exchange, which come to our desk is the National Baptist Union, published in Nashville, Tenn., by Dr. David. It is one of the safety and security in class religions. Need more? It skirts to its job. It does not try to cover the whole world in its news and editorial columns, but clings to the idea of making itself a first-class religious organ, and in this it is most successful. --- Of all the daily papers published in the United States, the New York Evening Post, under the editor-ship of Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, stands out most strongly and in favor of everything that is right and decent in regard to the Negro race. We should show our appreciation of the interest that this paper takes in us by seeing to it that every one of us who can afford to take a daily paper subscribe to the Evening Post. One month hence and the clans will be gathering at Chicago to ratify the nomination of Secretary Taft as the Republican standard bearer. All doubt his knowledge of the law which has now been removed. The Delaware city of Altooga are preparing to entertain the visiting colored men to the Republican National Convention in a royal fashion. "We propose to give you the time of your life" is the way they put it. The Cleveland Journal announces Judge Terrell as the original Taft man. The Judge was in early. Subscribing for THE AGE is subscribing for a vast fund of instructive information. Watch for THE AGZ each week WHAT THE NEBOO PRESS HAS TO SAY We are heartily in favor of the movement to carry this fight against these "illy white" Republicans to the National Campaign—Hampton (Va.) Fisherman's Net. The "illy white" Republicans put out a full county ticket Tuesday at Greenwood. Of county they are supplying only one man, who will become interested. Arkansas Appreciator. What will it profit the Republican party to gain a bushel of Democratic votes in the south to boost bushels of Afro-American votes? The "illy white" American movement must go, or the Afro-American will have, to get elsewhere—Baltimore Afro-American. The "illy whites" blooming so abundantly in the South will doubtless be supported by the stormy winds of Chicago. If not, Negro voters in the South are apt to have the sleeping disease when most needed—Cincinnati Union. From the outlook it seems as though Secretary Taft is a "sure one" as to the next Republican nominee and every white man should just as well give his mind to cast his vote for Secretary Taft—Little Rock Monk Guide. Up to the time we go to press, those forty, unattended advocates of universal suffrage and relentless opposition of the southern States, Professor W. E. B. DuBois and L. M. Harman, have not paid their poll tax or otherwise qualified as voters in Atlanta, Ga., where they claim citizenship. -Indianapolis Freeman. Secretary Taft leads in Massachusetts, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida, Philippines, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia, as far as has been selected. Will he lead at Chicago? Sure! -Cambridge Mirror. The Watchman doesn't think much of the advice that Prof. DuBois is sending out telling the Negroes to vote for Mr. Brown of Secretary Taft is nominated. Mr. Brown advises the people to stand by the Republican party first, last and all the time. If Taft is nominated then let us who believe in the Republican form of government vote for Mr. Brown even though you vote for a man against your choice. -Austin (Tex.) Watchman. Despite the occasional discontent noted here and there by the colored brethren given to "seeing things" that do not accord with the views of the Negro race is disposed to judge the administration fairly and grant if a full measure of credit for the good things it doing from the nomination of the Republican National Convention is shown that is ratifying the per cent of the Negro voters of the country. Cleveland Journal. W. Lawrence Mr. Taft on his ability as a boss, on his称称 as an official, of his manhood, character, on his availability, and also upon the fact that when he stood to the side of Booker T. Washington, he could be inconsistent with the progress of the race, that he encouraged by his presence and his speech, and when he stood in Plymouth point where Henry Ward Beecher of the Negro community statement that he expressed was in line with that of the great abolition preserver and friend of the whig John. Taft is big enough to be President Bingham (la. G. Carter). It is about time that the Negroes of the country come parsing their grievances against Mr. Taft bestow the in his official capacity, indulge the discharged Whole-born order of the President. Whole-born order of the President is ordered of his office when he discharged the Negro soldiers. Mr. Taft's proud and utterances have been friendly to the Negro and the brown races wherever the country is afforded to show its resentment to the Republican party by annoying themselves against its nominee who may be in a position after the election to do a great deal of good or harm in a paraguay from Mr. Taft's recent Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, speech, which shows that he stands solidly upon the war amendments. *Charleston (U.S. Reporter) Hon. William II Taft of Ohio is a candidate to succeed President Theodore Roosevelt. To come the nomination and position of bage. Taft the country should be in a selection in its wisdom in neck size in a selection. Mr. Taft is a man of the highest social standing, and is a member of one of the most distinguished families in this country, one who has been able to enable him to show by his uniform fairness and statismality that he is a genuine American, ready to record all the laws and privileges that he claims for himself. Judge Taft, is of that class in our country whose intelligence, cultivation, patriotism, courage and love of justice should be admired. He will aid in the upward course of the people in these United States. The people will make no mistake to minimize and elicit film in June and in November next. Lexington (NY) Standard. The Democratic party of the nation is just afflicted with an unmounted blemish of blemish of Alabama, handicapped that "organization in the doubtful States by shooting a colored man on the streets of Washington, after having introduced a "jim crow" street car bill, and now Congressman Gaines, of Georgia, is making a similar blunder by talking about white supremacy in the solution of the race problem. He seemed to have forgotten that if the white race is in superior that his service and the records will speak for themselves. All of this is done too when the uneast among the colored voters in the donbishie conservative actions the side of the Premi- dential election might be turned in the Illinois House, and there are being made use of in these three doubtful States with leftist effect for the purpose of whipping revolting colored people into line.—Riemond Pinhet. The Negro political conference which made in Philadelphia the put-together record on record as opposed to Secretral Taft for President. In going that far they vowed the sentiment of a large majority of the voters throughout the country, but when he expressed determination to for her he expressed determination to for these are the nominees of their respective parties, our Philadelphia brethren got away from the race. No, however bitterly the Negro operatives No, however bitterly the Negro operatives in any large number up to the Neuburger. Some vigorous and popular new Democrat like Johnson, of Minnesota, would be a far better vote-getter than Bryan so far as the Negro is concerned. Taft is nominated to the House vote for Congressional and local candidates only.—Star of Zion. The leading white papers of this city, the morning Post and the evening Chronicle, and high officials like United States Senator Bailey and others of that stripe, equally "equality," the white man's superiority, the Negroess inferiority, and other not like that in face of what is occurring almost daily right under their noses. That is which is called "prominent white citizen," Mr. Eugene Payne, and his Negro mistress, Dot Lehman, figured it all happened in the Negrowoman's house, shows who craves "social equality" the most, and most intends to get rid of Payne, but couldn't, and the fact that Payne assisted upon her loving him when she didn't, forcibly illustrates the white man's way of butting him, and the white man's way of paying him, like Payne, that is "prominent white citizen," hundreds of them right here in Houston, can be demonstrated any day if those wanting the information about the chrome hunts this down like it did "police" guarding and killing closing. It can be done. That killing also brings to mind the way the races, that is, white men, are treated in this "reservation." It will be a separation that won't separate, not even a little bit.—Texas Freeman. In refusing to endorse resolutions offered by ex-Congestimmin, White and others, opposing Secretary Taft and non-approving those favoring Senator Knox's Presidential candidacy, the A.E. Philadelphia Teachers' Meeting placed itself on record last Monday for exercising good sense to less than consistency. To include in this position the actions of President, or to breathe the threnings andخالالخالخ against his secretary for executing the former's mandate in partative to the Brownville colored troops has become an overworked find and it is time for a point of order or a division of the house to be called. We comment rather than condemn the expression of grievance within non-omnipotent hands, to follow a going beyond the national convention at Chicago and supporting an avowed enemy should Mr. Taft be selected as the party's standard bearer, is the boldest political nonsense concisible. Happily there's a safe majority among the people who do not care about the leaders who do not stand for race side of the kind mentioned by the age of age and his minister, the Church with its million-ton monarchy and constituency among this conservative number.—Christian Reorder. It possesses understanding that a black man endowed with even ordinary intelligence, could have the tenacity to advocate the principles of democracy in the face of oppression enforced on every citizen. Democratic leaders, to his civil and political rights. Rarely a day passes without compliment member of the opposition either in writing himself into print or the expense of the very men who say we should support the Democratic ticket if this man or that man is nominated. The Democratic conference, composed the Philadelphia conference, are not fools. Many of them have passed the scrierian of life, and presumably have the right to hold hands, yet they and others of less note tell us to vote for Bryan, Johnson, or whomsoever the Democrats may nominate, if any man favored by President Roosevelt leads the Republican No, they can not be classed as foods. Such a classification would be contrary to the laws of nature, one. Are they knives? Have they been put their price? Or are they simply the purs which have not been able to get to the trough and are squealing in consequence? It is discouraging to think of men of Bishop Wilhelm's calibre in any such light. It supposes that the institution would allow himself to so far forget his duty to himself, his life. His church and his God as to enanger further the liberties of his people given in humanity and in belief in the destiny which he commits. Of the others nothing else should have been expected. Mr William Mouron, a former minister in woken ones, told the "Wind made him for a man. Let him pass." Martin, Morris, Corporals and Scout are of that aggregation which did the barbarous antithesis. How have the mighty fallen Christopher W. V. Avery advocate Mr. Bunceyell's Courtesy: To the Editor of The New York Times I read in your Sunshine's article an item headed "Shiwa: Moments: Rows Keep Those Seats Rather Than Give to a Sock Old Woman, which repels me the most. I was a little girl when my mother about eight or nine years ago. He sitting next to me in a Broadway car and somewhere along Smith street, the car stopped to let some people on and all secured seats except a colored woman was in. She was Mrs. Rosewell, so that she had to stand he jumped up, took off his hat and bowed as grimly as though she were the first woman of the land. It made a deep impression on me and has done much to inculcate into my life about more respect for women, be they rich or poor, white or black. Ericor A. Watz. New York, April 15, 1905.

Three Thousand People to Hear Hon. Charles W. Anderson Commencement Oralator—Other Interesting Features. TUSKERARY INSTITUTE, ATL. May 4.—The 27th commencement season at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute begins Sunday, May 24, when the late John G. Brownbush, pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, Athlanta, Ga. On Monday night, the 25th, the annual exercises of the Phlops Hall Bible Training School will be held, the annual address being delivered by the president of the Congregational Church of Christ, Tenn. From this department there are seven young men and two young women to graduate, which will make a total of 67 graduates from the Bible School, most of whom are now actively engaged in important parts of the South in Christian work. The annual Trinity Church, Boston, prize contest will be held in the chapel Tuesday night, the 27th. The students in this contest will be awarded for two prizes of $15, respectively, established by the late Dr. E. Winchester Donald, doctor of Trinity Church, Boston, to be awarded to the students of the two upper classes who deliver the best papers on the subject. The prize will be a class contest and friendly rivalry between the classes on the occasion is at its highest pitch. This is one of the most interesting of the exercises of the commonwealth school. The classes on the exercises will be held Wednesday afternoon on the campus. Hon. Charles W. Anderson, United States Collector of Internal Revenue, New York City, will deliver the annual address on commencement day, Thursday, March 15, 2015, at the University of New York.

Wollom, $88, a very successful merchant in the town of Tuxekee and a trustee of the school, is to present the alumnus on the commencement day of the class of 1888, diplomas from the academic and certificates from the industrial departments issued on this day, and more than $275 in prizes which have been established by friends in various parts of the country, will be awarded to students who have graduated in some line of work during the year. Reduced rates are to be granted by the railways and a special train, which in turn is to be used to deliver people from Montgomery and intervening points, will be run again this year. This will mean that there will be less than 2,000 people from the institute grounds during the day. Atlantic Baptist College ATLANTA GAS, May 1 The order of commencement exercises of the Atlanta Baptist College are to be followed except recessions May 1, the back-to-school address SOUND ADVICE Editor M. V. Johnson of the Christian Records Sound Recorder and Audio The last issue of the Christian Recorder, published in Philadelphia, the organ of the A. M. E. Church, says editorially: Colored men who are given to the weakness of adviving our people to support Democracy rather than stand by an unpopular Republican President. Few of them are careful to allow their feelings to run away with their better judgment. This counsel, it followed, means the injury of the masses in the South to an extent that the unpopular Republican President is in the North, do not even faintly conceive. It should be remembered by colored voters that the Democratic party, an such, gives them not a scantilla of oppose it, even all ill and contraught by the men in the South. It is the father of Jim-Crowism, the mother of lynchism, the grandfather of disfranchisement and the sponsor of every anti-Negro law or court order in the South. We who believe that the future has anything good in store for him at the hands of this party must be dead indeed to the proclamations of such its apostles and prowessmen in the South. These men, and their allies defend disfranchisement, Jim-Crowism, lynch law and the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment on the floors of Congress, and with a Democratic President, and with a Republican President, since our people in the South to a condition worse than serfdom. "Negro Homes" in the Century Magazine An illustrated article on "Negro Homes," by Dr. Booker T. Washington, will appear in the May number of the Century Magazine, of which Mr. Richard W. Brown is the author and authority of New York, is editor. The article is neatly illustrated with portraits of some of the best types of Negro residences in different parts of the country, the American public which usually judges the people of our race by the worst types, the progress that some of the best of our people are making in all parts of the country. Some of the evil people who have gathered in this article will surprise many of our own people who are unacquainted with what individual Afro-Americans have accomplished and are too often disposed to accept the popular attitudes of our progress and abilities as a race. It is safe to say that no one will read this article without having a higher respect for every colored man, woman and child. It is also an argument that Negroes as a race are incapable of progress every individual example of success is conclusive. As showing what the people are capable of these illustrations of Negro progress which Dr. W. Brown has hastened are an inspiration. CHASE CITY, VA. NOTES.

About 60 of the New York delegates and alternatives to the Republican Convention at Chicago meet at Hotel Amor, Manhattan, last Thursday to discuss plans in the interest of Governor Hughes' candidacy for the Presidency.

Music and the Stage LESTER A. WALTON WILL.MARION COOK When the question is asked, "Who is the foremost Negro composer in the United States?" there is but one correct answer to be given, Will Marion Cook. Ask those who really know Will Marion Cook's capabilities, what he has done, what he is doing and what he is trying to do, and you will be informed that Will Cook is without a doubt our leading composer. Such stars as Ernest Hogan and Williams and Walker appreciate Will Marion Cook's true worth far more than anyone else, for in most all their big successes he has been prominently identified. Williams and Walker contribute a large share of their success in musical comedie to Will Marion Cook, and usually when Ernest Hogan has created a situation in vaudeville on Broadway Will Marion Cook had something to do with the composing of the music. Were we to measure Will Marion Cook's ability as a writer of music by the number of song hits he has written maybe it could not then be declared that he is the foremost Negro composer of the music he has written. The composers who write more popular hits than he, but not one is the thorough musician that he is. Take "Bandanna Land" for instance. There are ensemble numbers in the show worth more than all the individual songs—music that tends to give the production class and tone, and usually in making it a Broadway production. In other words Will Marion Cook is a talented musician who possesses the happy faculty of writing music out of the ordinary and yet makes it characteristically Negro. In all his compositions he never forgets to impress the public the thing—that he has written Negro music. During the last four weeks of "Bandanna Land's" stay on Broadway the composer, with the assistance of Alex. Rogers, gave the public the heaviest bit of dramatic singing ever attempted in Negro musical comedy. In fact, it was more like grand opera, and was called the "Conjure Man." The number was sung as the finale to the first act in which all the members of the company participated. Just to add to this, he bit his bit as "Bon Jon Buddy." Nevertheless, it gave one an insight as to the future possibilities of the Negro from a musical standpoint. It is said that the majority of musicians are eccentric, and Will Marion Cook is no exception to the rule. In the opinion of the writer he probably leans when it comes to eccentricity. An example of his peculiarities was when he was leader of the orchestra at a Broadway playhouse. He had written all the music to the production, which was immensely popular. However, he took offense at something that had been done by the management and took every piece of music of the production with him. It is needless to state that on account of his actions the orchestra did not have a piece of music from which to play. A flag of truce was raised and the show was given. Yet, regardless of his peculiarities, Will Marion Cook is a great musician, and he does more injury to himself because of his eccentricities than any one else. For he continues to write original music that the people talk about just the game. In speaking of him the Munsey Magazine of May, under the caption, "The Man Behind Bandanna Land," has the following to say: "What's the use?" the struggling playwright or composer is sometimes tempted to say, "The public cares only for worthless rot!" Besides the success of "The Merry Widow" as evidence to the contrary, the non-success of silly musical comedies galore, since August last, enforces the same moral. Furthermore, it is pleasant to note the well-deserved popularity of "Bandanna Land," written by Will Marion Cook and performed by Williams and Walker, all colored. Not a few of the numbers in "Bandanna Land" are of a high musical order. Indeed, no less noiseless an authority than Dovak said of Cook's "Plantation" includes constitute the soul of American music, and this boy may some day be the greatest American composer." Cook had no easier time of it, at the outset, than Lehar. His mother, a washerwoman in Washington, played day and night that her boy might have the musical education his talent craved; but even after she had sent him abroad to study and then return to America with the beat, in his line, the obstinacy of those set at the gates to public recognition kept him for months and years tapping, tapping in vain. It is related of young Cook that he used to go again and again to the Casino in search of an interview with George W. Lederer, then its manager, to whom the young colored man wished to submit his songs. But it was a man of a position as editor who was more in the line of the persistent caller, Mr. Lederer seemed to think. One day he as much as told Cook so, but the musician kept at it, and at last, by a devious method, secured attention for his song, "Lovers Lane," which the manager gave to Virginia Earl to sing in one of his productions. It promptly became a best seller; it was followed by "The Gipsey Maid" sung by Irène Bentley—now Mrs. Harry B. Smith, wife of the librettist—in "The Wild Rose." "Bingham Land" is altogether different from the average composition of its class, the music being of high grade throughout, and yet possessing a popular appeal. In the first act there is a concerted number for about a dozen men's folk works, and in the second arrangement the show is advertised as having become "a fad with society folk" in New York. It deserves recognition on much better grounds. EDITED BY LESTER A.

May 6—After over a month of experimenting, Manager Marion Brooks has decided that a Negro theatre will not pay in Montgomery. So the Bijon Theatre will close shortly. To use the words of Marion Brooks: "A few of the people here are game and willing to have the host, but seventy-five per cent. of them only want common doings. The stock company was brought here from Chicago. The majority of the performers will remain South and work at Washington Park, where Marion Brooks will put on a summer show. Dunbar Theatre Now a Vaudeville House COLUMBUS, May 6. After a short and meteoric career, the Dunbar Theatre closes its doors last week—so far as a stock company is concerned. Despite the good shows that Manager Smith was giving the public, he was unable to keep the theatre open as a house of musical comedy. Proprietor Clark and Manager Smith noted that the Negroes did not patronize the house as they had promised. As an illustration they cite that the gross receipts of the last three nights of the show amounted to $26. Manager Smith is averse to leaving Columbus without trying another experiment, so a vaudeville program with moving pictures will be the attraction for the next couple of weeks. Perren and Crossley, Walter Crumley, the Bradleys, Henderson and those have been retained as entertainers. The other members of the stock company have joined P. J. Lowery, who is with the Wallace Hagenback shows. Moore's Ministrels to Play Newport. 'Newport, R. L.

M. Moore. Proved That Critic Could Sing as Well as Candidates WASHINGTON, D. C. May 6.—Bernice Thompson, music editor of the Washington Post, is receiving congratulations from newspaper men all over the country for her successful appearance as an operatic singer. Mrs. Thompson made her debut as a singer Saturday evening to demonstrate the falsity of the theory held by many theatrical managers, that no critic can sing or play the role he criticizes. The demonstration took place at the National Theatre, where the Albron production of "Carmen" has been running. Sabery d'Orsell, who had been singing the role of Michelle all week, sat in the audience and led the appliance for the citie as she took the same role. The tenor who played the role he did, who played the part of Jose in many opera companies in this country and Europe. It all arose out of a conversation in argument that critics couldn't sing or play, and in which Mrs. Thompson offered to sing any role he might select that was within the compass of her voice. She had never sing in public before and had no knowledge of stage business. Instead, he it was successful. The newspaper people of the town took the greatest interest in it and were present in large numbers to see how their colleague acquitted herself. One feature of the experiment was the interest taken in it by the members of the company who had been eager to see the result of an attempt by a critic to play a part. They were all as much interested in it as the principals, and nothing else had been talked of among them during the work. They were crowded. The interest taken in the curious experiment was so great throughout the city that it brought out probably the largest audience ever seen here in a spring season.

The special curricula and co-education plans for the worthy American citizen, regardless of color,erty, birth or financial condition, and for laws that should protect with equal force every individual beneath the flag of the nation, have to a high degree of authority the clared his wish that the black man should have political equality, equality of opportunity and all the liberties guaranteed the people of the republic by the federal government. He is here, and they will remain here, and that it is an unfairity for anyone to claim that it is impossible for both to exist in harmony under the same laws and regulations. He commissions and equal participation in the functions of government. Social Fidelity. The bugbear of "social equality" comes in for an unnerving "skimming" at the hands of Mr. Campbell. His regurgitars were all the more pertinent because of the foolish newspaper packet made over the white and colored settlement workers participated. Mr. Campbell contended that the sensational hull and cry raised by people in certain sections of the country that if a man casts his vote in the presidential election with a Nixon it would give him social equality is all out. He added that this class of people had defended the nation with that cry for a quarter of a century and had used it to frighten the timid white in order to zealize the duty of his people, which distinct from "social equality" as night is from day. The speaker paid a royal tribute to the loyalty of the Negro in all the wars of the production of final Lawrence Dugard, Henry O. Tanner and the leaders of the race in the work of education, at the bar and in the world of business. Mr. Caucasian was a man of great address and as he sat down the was given an ovation which lasted several minutes. His speech was promoted by the Caucasian in many a day, and it was refreshing to find that the Negro people had such strong and uncompromising admirability that they were among the white race. Congressman C. F. Scott and Edward Mallson were introduced and made brief and witty remarks, echoing the broad, humanitarian The meeting was called to order by Mr. Henry Lassiter, chairman of the committee on arrangements.

Dr. Kelly Miller, dean of the college department of Howard University, delivers a thoughtful address Tuesday morning to the University Library and His wife, Kate, with the results of a study she conducted in Education: "Nicoro." In the final analysis, education is for service. The motto he would give to every boy and girl is, "Get the best; give the best."

The Commission will now be levied by District Commissioners, and was endorsed by the Senate District Committee. The Court will consist of the six present justices of the peace, who will serve for the right of the office of the Office of the New Court without being recommended. At the expiration of the term of any judge, the President will name his sucessor for a term of six years. This court will have an in-law a similar filing, and will have exclusive jurisdiction over all laws involving not over $10k, and the limit involved in a suit before it has been raised from $200 to $200.

Under the new law the court docket will be equally as well as the other law that will take up a large degree of dignity and responsibility than before it is expected that Judge Terrell's efficient clerk, Mr. George H. Orwell, will be given a new case in session to the case in check of the new Court. Arden Shooting Casc. Attorney John H. Wilson L. Melendez King, and Hughes & Gray, the colored attorneys who were retained some time ago by Louis Landy to prosecutors in the famous car attack in man Helin for shooting him in the famous car attack on embroiderie, have retired from the case. Their withdrawal, it is said, was caused by the determination on behalf of the attacker with Helin which the attorneys did not regard as satisfactory, in view of the expositions of those who had contributed secondly to the second seated in a white lawyer to represent him. Helin defends having paid the white horse trainer, McCreery, $2,500 to induce him to hire him. McCreery was accidentally struck in the leg by one of the ballots intended for Landy, and had a narrow escape from death from backpack and pneumonia. The Rowlsville debate will be continued this week. Senator Warner's unfinished speech will be read by Senator Lokke or some one designated by the Missouriian, and it is expected that Senator Lokke or some one designated by the Missouriian on the late matter is biased to a vote. It is the general impression that unless Senator Foraker accords to the Warner bill, Congress will adjourn without setting the status of the soldiers. Colored friends who want the soldiers rest assured they will be in for the Foraker route, or through the action of the President, are beginning to move on the Ohio Senator with a view of having him support the administration measure, rather than have the defeating over methods, the soldiers are out in the cold.
