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. 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. Thiemann, a young merchant tailor, of Chicago, has been in the city for a few days, stopping at the Summings House on Drudg Hill avenue. Mr. Calloway is en route to Norfolk Va., his old home, on a visit. Mr. John Chambers, of 1825 Drudg Hill avenue, who has been ailing for some time, is confined to his residence by picknick. Quite a number of our prominent city residents attended the sessions of the General Conference of the a. M. E. Church, now convened in the city of Norfolk, Va. The Rev. Dr. William M. Alexander, the efficient and popular pastor of Sharon Baptist Church, this city, has been elected a delegate to the National Republican Convention, which meets in Chicago to nominate candidates for President and Vice-President of the only colored state and is a delegate from this State. The Law and Order League, an organization of some of our best colored men, working in connection with many of the representative citizens of the other, race, has recently accomplished the closing up of a number of low dives and whisky smooshes operated in the residential section inhabited by many of our people, Mr. Josiah Digg, a gentleman well and favorably known in this community, for his kindness to the interests of our people with the last of the past month retired from the management of the Metropolitan Department Store of this city. Quite a number of prominent clergymen and laymen of the race from various sections of the country have already reached the city and still others are coming to attend the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church which concurred in this city during the present week. The annual "Easter Supper" of St. James Episcopal Church was held on last Monday and Tuesday openings, and it was, in every respect, a marked success. For more than a half century these "Suppers" have had given the confluence of the layman and the materialist a high standard of excellence. The Empty Stocking and Fresh Air Circle, of which Miss Ida R. Cummings is president, held its annual bazaar, super and entertainment last week, for several evenings, at Moses' Hall, on North Eutaw street. It was generously patronized, and quite a handsome sum was realized for the purpose of fitting up and equipping the country home recently purchased by them for the use of poor children in the community. From all our city churches are members of this organization, and they work with a ready will and genuine enthusiasm for this worthy charity so dear to their hearts. Mrs. Marie L.

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.

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. A lieutenant in its personal qualities, high in its public affairs, fortunate in the trition of noble effort has closed safely before he had demolished the master of its genus. 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.

The decision grew’ ont of’ a case of Jong standing in Alton, M1, Some years ‘ago there was very lite 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 attentted the same schoots, bat a crusade “was made against. mixed schools. avd a Negro school was opcacd.

He instituted proceedings for damages in the Circuit Court; and the jury decided against him. Through his ‘attorney: the late Sera- tor John M.

Jn this ‘way—from the tower court,36, ie -Nigbeg court and from the bigher.coort #0 the kawer for another ttial—the case has’ been hang- ing for years. On each occasion the Supreme Court sent instructions ta the trial court to enforge the law, bud every: pair éalled refvecd to give a judgment in tbe plain- tiff's favor. The finat decision of the Supreme Court is a great victory for the Negroes of Illinois, and is significant.

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. WALTON NEW ORLEANS, May 6.—Kenner and Lewis are doing a large business at Lincoln Park, and the entertainment they are providing is creditable. The funny work and is ally assisted by his partner, John Lewis. The chorus is above the average. Henderson and McNeil have been alternating with Kenner and Lewis, and last Sunday played to the largest house of the league. June 4th has been the date set for the buying of the cornerstone of the new theatre building. Bilton Theatre to Close Montgomery, Ala. 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. 16.—The citizens of Newport are looking forward with much pleasure to the ministrel show that will be given at the Newport Opera House May 14. Through the efforts of a committee, headed by Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, J. M. Moore will appear on the above date with his New Orleans Ministrels. With the company will be McKissick and Shadney, Hill and Hill, the Globe Comedy Four, Mine, Hayes and her four Comedy girls—Mamie 'Furber, Midget Price, Clarice Wright and Tillie Smith—Jinnie Worles and J. 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. Clarence White and Gerald Tyler Made Favorable Impression (Out Past) Advice from Lorenzo C. Gavin, that Chronec Cameron, White violinist, and Gerald Tyler, pianist and harpione soloist, made a most favorable impression on the "Denne-rites" both white and colored during their recent visit out West. The Daily Denver Times published photographs of the young men, and in an article said; Denver is entertaining two distinguished colored men today in the persons of Chronec Cameron, White, violinist of international reputation, and Gerald Tyler, pianist and harpione soloist, who has the distinction of being the first and only nun graduate of Oberlin Conservatory, Oberlin, Ohio, and who is in superior high schools in the Kansas City high schools. They are living the country and will give a recital this evening at Shorter A. M. E. Chapel, Twenty-third street and Washington avenue. White spent four years at Oberlin and supplemented his musical education by training abroad. He is recognized as one of the best violinists of the present age and the musical critic of the Toledo Times was so impressed with his playing at a recital at Toledo that he clasped him with Kubelik. During the last term of the martyred President, William McKinley, he gave a performance at the White House in request of the Chief Executive. Telegram brother of R. W. Tyler, recently appointed auditor of the navy by President Roosevelt. In addition to his training at Oberlin he studied under Herbert Witherpoon and Oscar Garreison, renowned in musical circles the world over. He was a soloist with the United States Marine Band orchestra under the direction of Coleridge Taylor, a London composer of note. A. A. Haston to Sing at Atlantic City. A. A. Haston who recently returned to New York will tour four through the Southern States, will, in all probabilities, appear as soloist during the summer months at Atlantic City. He is booked to sing at the Steel Pier, where he won success several years ago, enjoying the distinction of being the only male singer to ever appear on the pier. A Musical May in Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C. May 6—The month of May promises great things the music lover of the nation's capital, the 11th-century theologian testimonial to Prof. John T.

W. and W. at Atlantic City, ATLANTO CITY, May 6—Williams and Walter are delighting the pleasure seekers and citizens of Atlantic City this week with their latest musical success, "Bandanna Land." The company is playing at the Shubert Theatre and doing a large business. Next week the show goes to Philadelphia for a week, playing at the Academy of Music, owned by Nixon and Zimmerman. Heretofore Williams and Walter have always played at the Park Theatre but since their long run on Broadway in New York they have demanded first-class theatres.

Both are pupils of Mrs. Chase. All of those entertainments are scheduled for the main auditorium of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. An overflowing audience listened to the performance of the concert "Friday evening at True Reformers' Hall. One hundred children participated in the songs, tableau and marches, and gave evidence of the training received, at the hands of the manager, Mrs. Mudge Dyer White. Special music was furnished by the Lyric Orchestra. The entertainment was for the length of St. Luke's P. E. Church, under the auspices of the Women's Guild. The "Easter Function" given on the 22d by the famous Mussolit Club at True Reformers' Hall was a stellar social event of the post-Leonard season. Fully three hundred guests were present. Assistant United States District Attorney James A. Cobb is president of the Mussolit Club. At the last regular meeting of the organization five vacancies in the membership were filled by the election of Mr. William Waller, the former president of the William of Indiana: W. H.
