THE NEW YORK AGE. HARMONY AND TAFT SLOGAN IN ALABAMA Negro and White Republicans Working Hand in Hand--Taft Enthusiasm Running High N. H. Alexander and Dr. U. G. Mason Elected For Chicago Convention—Five New Members of State Executive Committee—Resolutions Introduced By Dr. U. G. Mason BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 20.—"Harmony and Taft" is the slogan of the Alabama Republicans. There are no "illy-white" in this State. If so, they are few and far between, and deem it beat to keep quiet and work in the interest of the Republican party. The enthusiasm displayed by all the white and Negro Republicans at the recent State Convention is still in evidence, and Alabama will be represented at Chicago by a mixed delegation that will be a credit to the State. The delegates are not through talking about the regular Republican State Convention held here a short time ago, which was attended by a representative body of men and when enthusiasm ran high at the mere mention of the name of Secretary Taft. Hon. Duman E. McKinley was responsible for much of the enthusiasm when he spoke on Republican principles. latest vials in the market, Dr. W. G. Alexander, M.D., who noted as toastmaster, delivered one of his characteristic witty addresses, yet filled with glowing hopes, for the successful results of the association and what it means for the race as well as the professions represented. The following speakers were all well trimmed for their respective toasts: I. A. Lawrence, M.D., president-elect of the association, spoke with enthusiasm, which the present gathering for the first time would give as a nucleus for greater usefulness in the profession. Among others who were eloquent in their views were: Dr. H. J. Burnett, Gustavus Henderson, New York; T. W. Robinson, D.D.S., A. S. Jones, M.D., G. Johnson, New York; W. H. Sutherland, D.D.S., Counselor Gao, A. Douglas. Among the members present were: Drs. W. W. Wolfe, G. E. Cannon, J. F. Lawson, J. C. Anderson, C. P. McMahon, W. P. Weling, D.D.S., W. J. Parks. Others not of the professions were: Rev. J. H. Lockjerk, Justice Scotland, Mrs. Dr. Cooper, New York; Miss Cannon, Mr. N. H. Alexander, of Montgomery County, will be one of the delegates at large to Chicago, and Dr. U. G. Mason, of Birmingham, will be alternate. On the new State Executive Committee there are five colored men as members; to wit: J. Peterson, C. W. Allen, Al Winbs, U. G. Mason and A. N. Johnson, the latter having been elected a member of the State committee as well as the county and the district committees. Following are the resolutions introduced by Dr. U. G. Mason, which were passed by a unanimous vote. Resolving the justice to be obtained by the strict enforcement of the Federal Constitution and statutory laws of the United States Government, Be it resolved that this Republican Convention of Alabama do hereby place itself on record in favor of the rigid enforcement of the 15th, 14th and 13th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, also the enforcement by the Inter-State Commerce Commission, the equal treatment to all passengers, white and black alike, where the same fare is paid. And we do further commend the President, Theodore Roosevelt, for the manly and statesmanlike stand which he has taken, as we out in a recent letter to Attorney-General Bonaparte, in regard to the enforcement by the Inter-State Commerce Commission, the law which must apply to all passengers alike. Be it further resolved that the chairman of the State Convention and delegates to the National Convention urge upon the Republican Congressmen and Senators of Congress to see that the above laws are enforced and all other laws which give to all citizens a square deal. Dr. Mason, who introduced the above resolutions, is one of the representative professional and business men in the South. WELCOME TO COLORED DELEGATES Chicago Preparing to Receive Convocation Visitors with Open Arms. CHICAGO, IL, May 20.—The colored men of this city are preparing to give the colored delegates and visitors to the Republican National Convention the greatest time ever given to colored delegates and visitors to any previous national convention. Unquestionably, however, the most beautiful and enjoyable affair to be given during the week of the convention will be the band concert and full dress reception tendered by the officers and men of the Eighth Illinois Regiment, on Thursday evening, June 18th. It is also planned to have an exhibition drill by the regiment, so that the visitors from the North, South, East and West may see what Chicago, and the State of Illinois have in the shape of Negro soldiers. It may be added that the Eighth is the only regiment in the land offered from colonel to corporal by colored men, and it will be a matter of much pleasure and deep interest to all to see them in action. It is the duty of the officers and members of the regiment that every delegate and alternate delegate to the convention receive an invitation, and it is requisited by the management that all delegates and alternates send their name and address at once to Col. John K. Marshall, 3632 Calumet avenue, Chicago, Illinois, to inquire their receiving an invitation. FIRST ANNUAL DINNER. Medical Profession of State of New Jersey Celebrate Anniversary For the first time in the history of the medical profession in the State of New Jersey the members were gathered together on last Monday evening in the spacious dining parlors of Davis, the leading caterers of the State, and there, between theory vs. practice in their respective professions, discussed what portends to become a living and active fraternity among the doctors of medicine and dental surgery: The assemblage of gentlemen with their wives, also several invited representative men, active in other callings, created an atmosphere decidedly harmonious, indicative of the progress of the colored citizens in New Jersey along the business and professional lines. The organization of the North Jersey Medical Association to which over forty couples, including others not of the association who were present, is a little over one year's standing. It's inception was the necessity of the coined physician and dental surgeons to unite for their mutual intercourse, in discussing the relative advantage of their respective practices, as well as to bring the two branches of demonstrative science under a traceable diagnosis. The efforts of those who have undertaken the attempt have been significantly successful, and at their first annual dinner the fact was particularly demonstrated that colored men of character, intelligence and ambition can be united together upon a common line of personal as well as racial development for the welfare of the rule at large. After the numbers of the fraternity and their who were married but not married, agreed all of it latest viands in the market, Dr. W. G. Alexander, M.D., who noted as toastmaster, delivered one of his characteristic witty addresses, yet filled with glowing hopes for the successful results of the association and what it means for the race as well as the professions represented. The following speakers were all well trimmed for their respective toasts: L. A.

TAFT STRENGTH IN VIRGINIA Unexpected Happens in a Richmond Mass Meeting RANDOLPH'S SPEECH Sways Meeting and Secures Delegates Antagonistic to Lily-Whiteism - No Bolt in City Convention - H. Green Delegate. RICHMOND, VA., May 11. Politics, politics, nothing but politics is the talk in Virginia nowadays. And it will ever this be so with, the return of each quadrennial wherein a chief magistrate of the republic is to be elected. The Republican district and State conventions not in this State during the of the A. M. E. Church and the A. M. E. Zion Church month of March and delegates to the Chicago Convention have been elected. Under the be a miscarriage of the wishes of the party as expressed in these convention, the 24 votes to which the Old Dominion is entitled will be cast for President Roosevelt's War Secretary, Judge William H. Tatt, at Chicago. Some two months or more back a Dr. Sinhair, of Philadelphia, came to Richmond and stirred up a big sentiment among the Negro voters in the interest of the candidacy of Senator Joseph Benson Potts, and at the same time to protest against "billy whiteism" and the "discharge without honor" of the Negro soldiers as a result of the "shooting up" of Brownville. "Remember Brownville" was the slogan which culminated in a monster mass meeting of Negro voters of Richmond in League Hall. "Remember Brownville" was the slogan, year a very tallman, with which Dr. Sinhair conjured the Negroes and stirred them up against President Roosevelt and Secretary Tatt. While this meeting, which was maneuvered by James H. Hayes, Joseph R. Pollock, Dr. John Maude Benson, Pre R. K. Jones and Dr. P. B. Ramsay, was called ostensibly for the purpose of discussing "Brownville" yet, beneath the surface and breaking forth in fiery demilitation in every speech made, was condemnation of "billy whiteism," the President. Secretary Tatt and Professor Booker T. Washington, "Mr. Roosevelt was referred to as "President Booker T. Roosevelt" and Dr. Washington as "Professor Theodore Washington." The speakers at this meeting were Dr. Sinchair, James H. Hayes and Joseph R. Pollard. At the conclusion of the speeches a series of resolutions was offered by Dr. Kumsey condemnatory of the President's action in discharging the Negro battalion and lauding Senator Foraker for the great efforts he has been making to secure a fair and impartial hearing for the soldiers. At this juncture the unexpected happened. E. A. Randolph, Esq., ex-alderman and a leading attorney of the city, was called upon for a speech. Mr. Randolph is an alumnus of Yale, graduating in the same law class with Secretary Taft, whom he knows personally. Mr. Randolph's speech was an eloquent tribute to the War Secretary as an American citizen and worthy to be the successor of Rooneycev as chief magistrate of the nation. Mr. Randolph's speech was beginning to tell, so the promoters of the meeting hurriedly consulted ope another, and for fear that if the speaker were allowed to continue he would "steal away the hearts of the people" they rapped him down, telling him his "time was up." By a rising vote, the several hundred voters present pledged themselves to go to the main city convention the following Saturday night and help stamp out "illy whiteism" by electing delegates to the district and State conventions who were appended to the "white peril" that has gained such a foothold in Republican circles in the South in recent years. Well, the eventful Saturday night came, and there were fully 200 Negroes in the hall when the meeting was called to order, and about twice that number of white men, but among the white men there were scores who were not of the "illy white" persuasion and would willingly have entered into a coalition with the Negro vote to break any state that was put up by the "illy whites," or, if recognition was not given, to bolt the meeting. Messrs. James H. Hayes and Joseph K. Pollard had been put forward by the Negroes as their leaders and spokesman and it was expected they would take the lead in every movement affecting the interests of the Negro voters. They were present, but a "hary-a-word" did they say, did they intimate what their wishes were in the premises. And there sat 200 Negro voters as "dumb as oysters" and with as much interest in the meeting, seemingly, as an inhabitant of Dahomey. After the reading of the resolutions lauding the administration of President Roosevelt and endorsing Secretary Taft's nominees, George St. Julien Stephens, one of the Negro voters present, was recognized and in a short speech seconded arch, in Conference at Norfolk and Philadelphia re the resolutions. The resolutions were then adopted by an unanimous vote. Later during the meeting, W. P. Burrell, another Negro voter, obtained the floor and made an impassioned speech in which he denounced "lily whitism" in most seating terms. But there was no bolt; the delegates were elected, a new city committee elected, Taft endorsed and the meeting adjourned. In the Third District Convention there was no bolt; nor was there a bolt in any of the other nine districts nor at the State convention Harry Green, one of the most prominent Negroes in the Fourth District, and a Taft man, was elected one of the delegates to Chicago. Of course the Negroes of Virginia, as are the self-respecting Negroes of the entire Southland, who stand for the manhood rights of the race, are opposed to "lily whitism." But opposition to "lily whitism" does not and should not mean opposition to any honorable Republican who aspires to the chief magistracy of the republic, forthought, he may have support from some of the voters who are "lily white." As an outcome of the "Remember Ribbonville" meeting, although participating in the Republican primaries by their presence, never once holding city, district or state conventions, a "committee of five" representing "God knows what" has issued a call for a Republican State convention to be held in the city of Richmond Friday next May 15, for the purpose of electing contesting delegates to the Republican National Convention, in opposition to the delegates already elected and instrugt for Taft. In recent years—not since John M. Langton was once leader—the Negroes of Virginia have had no political race leader. The Hon. Harris of Dinwiddie, the Hon. Mitchell of Dinwiddie, and the Hon. Mitchell of Dinwiddie, measuring up to political leadership than any others, and yet what they did was rendered ineffective, mainly because a few would-be leaders, with as much political sagacity as a Fiji Islander, would ever work to pull down what these men would construct. It is this very reason that there is not an active, virile Negro Republican organization in the State. Congressman Slemp, an State chairman, and his late father, whom he succeeded in Congress, began the work of rehabilitating the Republican party in this State. In their effort they sought the hearty cooperation of the Negro vote. They advised a close organization of the Negro in every city and magisterial district in the State, promising financial aid in helping the Negro to carry to perfection the plan of organization. This was three years ago. The organisation was perfected, but some of the very men who to-day are throwing film continuously in anticipation of the nomination of Taft and have gone raving, crazy mad for, any one to beat Taft, and threatening to hold the Chinese nomination and vote the Democratic ticket or else skulk in their tests on election day (Questioned on Page 2) ELECTION OF BISHOPS AT A. M. E. CONFERENCE Greatest Incident of Second Week of Conference-- Five Bishops Elected--Africa Given Two No Stronger or Better Set of Men Ever Elevated to Bench of Bishops—Bishop Turner Retired Elected Historian—Brilliant Addresses of Week—Women of the Church in Conference Special correspondence to The New York Avt. Norton, V.A., May 19, On Sunday, the 10th inst., all the edifed churches of Norfolk and surrounding towns invited the General Conference to fill their pockets, which it did through the respectively. Committee on Public Worship, the secretary of which read the appointments on Saturday afternoon. From all points come high commendations of the sermons preached by the several ministers. Many hearts were touched and it is hoped that the good seed will bring forth much good fruit. On Monday all the delegates were in their places. The number of visitors was greatly increased by the coming of many of the members of the W. P. M. M. and Southern Women's Missionary organizations, who apart from the fact that they have husbands and other relatives, and friends attending the Conference are here to hold their quadrennial convention and to get such legislation passed by the General Conference as will enhance their work. Among the ladies present are the following ways of bishops: Mosdames Sarah Tumper, Grant, Smith, Sailers, Tumper and Tumper, Grisham, Dolle T. Tumple, Idha Yasmin, Grisham, P. P. T. Jessie Hurst, Veronica and a number of other prominent women from all sections of the country. With the assembling of the Conference speculation began to run high as to when the elections would take place, and as to how many bishops would be elected, and as to whom the honor would be given. It was generally known that the bishops' recommendation to elect but three would not prevail; but the exact number could not be decided upon until the Episcopal Committee had reported progress, and had made its recommendation. Ordinarily the committee should have reported during the latter part of last week, but in consequence of the extra amount of work which it had to do necessitating in four cases the appointing of four subcommittees in order to expedite business, it came to pass that it was not until 13 a.m. on the 11th that they appeared on the floor of the Conference and asked to be permitted to present a partial report. Permission having been given they reported that they had examined the characters of all the bishops and had found them all blameless; that they recommended that five bishops be elected, three for the home work, and two for Africa; one for South and the other for West Africa, and that they further recommended that the African bishops be required to keep on their respective fields for 12 years. The chairman also informed the Conference that there was a minority report on the question as to the number of bishops that should be elected. In the result the minority report, which advocated the election of three bishops was lost and five were decided upon. The earlier days of the work saw but little serious business transacted. Par-trial reports of committees; the in-production of bills, and the usual methods by which time is killed were the order of the days. Everybody was on the tip-toe of excitement as to when the bishops would be elected and as to how many would be decided upon. By Thursday all the reports were before the Conference, and meant to their respective committees. PRICE, 5 CENTS The Coming of Bishop Turner,' Detained at his home in Atlanta, Ga., the aged primate of the Church could not attend the first week of the Conference, and prayers for his recovery and presence were freely offered up. On Sunday there was great rejoicing when a telegram announced that he had started for Conference. 'On Monday the announcement that he was in the city was the sound for many expressions of pleasure. The members, of the Conference called him and later in the day when he appeared at the Conference floor he was given an ovation that lasted many minutes. He thanked his benefactors for their many tokens of appreciation and love. Told of the severity of his illness and returned thanks to the great Head of the Church for his recovery. Later on he went before the Episcopal Committee. There the bishop among other things carefully urged the necessity of electing two bishops for Africa. 'Do not he had said to the General Conference, 'negotit Africa in the matter of episcopal supervision.' The Relation Between the Chair and the Floor Perfect harmony has existed between the chair and the floor. Although some days the debates have been very heated and for a moment or so the Conference has gotten away from control, yet just as quickly have the men bowed to the authority and ruling of the chair. Many Southern papers have been at pains to joer at the Conference for its confusion, but the state which they have described was but vaporish visions of their purbinal imaginations. To expect 500 men in the midst of a debate on a great subject involving issues of vital importance to the connection, to be as quiet as a class of mutes would be exceedingly foolish, and to characterize their earnestness, and at times exertions as a sign of non-development is as silly as the perceptions of these impachers of the Negro generally are. On the Conference floor and platform are men—and a goodly number of them to best—who are equals in intelligence and much more, save in truth, of the best of this or any other bank. The bishops are dearly, beloved by the men over whom they have presided during the last quadrennium. As a token of this best most of them may be presented with rich and beautiful bonquets as they have taken the chair and assumed the gavel. These gifts have been the spontaneous expressions of high esteem and sincere affection, and are very gratifying to all concerned. The Conference has, as a whole, shown its approval of these tokens of regard by the bursts of applause which have greeted them. On Saturday morning, the 9th. Bishop Salters, who was in the chair, took occasion to deliver an address full of fathers' counsel to the Conference. This innovation was highly appreciated. He reminded the delegates of their sacred calling and congratulated them upon what they had done in the past for the advancement of the Redeemer's kingdom and admonished them to follow in all particulars the great human ideal—the Son of man—and so win His blessings here and share His glory hereafter. An Educated Ministry Among the business transaction on the 11th was a resolution by Dr. Askew looking forward to the proper education of young men aspiring to the A. M. E. ministry. Dr. Askew is a young man of much promise and is sure to take a prominent place in his Church's history. He is trying to get before the Church his students' movement, scheme which will, he is certain, be a blessing to the Church. In order the better to formulate and develop his plans he announced his intention of seeking election as Secretary of Education. "That there he made his mistake. Prof. J. R. Hawkins has tilded that position so satisfactory for the last eight years that it would be an exceedingly difficult task to displace him. The fact that the professor was unanimously reelected proves how well pleased his Church is with his work. But Dr. Askew has taken a position that will command attention. Some day the Church will be with him. A Tinge of the Hidleulour. In the most staid and reverend of assemblies it is not possible that the entire session should come to an end without somewhat of the ridiculous being introduced. Now there are 13 districts, and so large are the Conference delegations that they take up the entire auditorium, and alternates who are in attendance have to be sent to the gallery. Well, on Monday a wise pore convulsed the Conference and won its impressively expressed contempt by introducing a motion that the districts should change seats alternately day by day. Of course the motion was tabled. But no doubt the maver got the head of fame which he longed for, viz., to get his name on the minutes. Worn-out Ministers' Homes. Worn-out Ministers Homes. There can be no mistaking the fact that the Church is greatly in need of means by which her worn-out ministers might be cared for in the evening of life. Within the last few months, however, some of the young men, notably Drs. Winefield and Scaly, have been advised the direction and management of homes for need ministers in each episcopal district. To this end Dr. Winefield introduced a bill on the 11th. It was referred to the proper committee and will come up for discussion early next week. The Awakening of the Laymen It is gratifying to note the degree of interest which the laymen are taking in the working of the Conference. They are over 100 strong and their vote is powerful. They have organised and although it in their principle not to seek to influence the ministerial delegates, yet they take to themselves all their rights, but use them so judiciously as to win the apprehension of all concerned. The Praternal Deleges on On the 12th Conference listened to a fraternal address addressed by Dr. A. A. Cronke on behalf of A. M. E. Zion Church. The greatness which were delivered in chanting hymns and fine style, richly deserved the name lavishly bestowed in the many good points. On ELECTED BISHOPS A.M.E.CONFERENCE (Continued from Page 1) Saturday, 10th, Dr. J. A. Bray brought the Conference greeting from the C. M. E. Church. It has seldom been our privilege to listen to a finer address than that delivered by this gentleman, and we say this after having listened to such orators as Dr. B. T. Washington and Vernon. Dr. Bray's address was freely punctuated with applause and other demonstrations of pleasure, and approval. The doctor and his wife were both involved and is within a man of culture and refinement. He is a fine product of the South. The white people of this Southland are asleep. They do not know the Negro. When they shall have awakened to the realization of the magnificent type of Negro that is rapidly developing in their midst, without their help, and amidst the damnable difficulties that they are forever putting in his way, they will find—but wait, history, we know, the fact is that the many good points that of Dr. Bray many good points was that the people who think and do will always be the ruling people whatever their color may be. Dr. Bray is only one of a vast number of young Negro men and women who are doing a mighty lot of thinking—by and by we will get the "doing." On the 11th Dr. Lee, of Görgörn, submitted a resolution declaring Bishop H. M. Turner historian of the Church, vice Bishop Arnett, deceased. The resolution provided that the bishop should be received of the oversight of a district; that his pay should be the same as he now received and that he should continue to be primate. The resolution was, on motion, unanimously adopted. * The Beginning of the End. As we have already stated the Episcopal Committee reported progress on Tuesday, the 12th. Two reports were presented, a majority and a minority report. The former, which was signed by 30 members, advocated the election of five, while the latter favored three. In bulk, the latter adopted, and Wednesday, immediately after the reading of the journal, was fixed as the day and time of election. The period of choice being in sight the aspirants and their friends were kept busy until a little after noon on the 13th, when the tellers and clerk having been appointed, candidate calling began. The H. H. Parks, Lampton, Chappelle, while Drs. Flipper, Conner, Leake, H. T. Johnson, J. A. Jones, Gaines, L. H. Reynolds and others were freely discussed. On Wednesday every delegate was in his place before Conference was opened and the galleries and available spaces on the auditorium were crowded by visitors, hundreds of ladies being among them. After the reading of the minutes and the transaction of minor preliminary business, Bishop H. M. Turner, D. D. primate, delivered a soul-stirring prayer for Divine guidance in the selection; hymns were next sung and then the Conference entered upon the most important task of the job: to abstain from Chief Secretary Johnson to call the roll; at nearly 3:30, when the count was made, it was found that something like nine candidates had been voted for and none of them had received the requisite majority vote to elect. "No election" was therefore declared by the Presiding Bishop, Dr. L. J. Coppin, and the delegates again started to ballot for three good and three poor to fill the office of President. The vote was counted it was found that Des. Lappin Parks and Flipper had been elected. The announcement was the signal for great cheer and for some minutes all business was suspended as the delegates shook hands with or kissed, or cheered their friends who had been elevated to the high office. The scene was not without its pathetic side. The demonstrations formed at Parks, who is a general favorite, won the votes of his friends embraced him and went on his shoes for joy. For a time the good doctor bore up bravely, but in the end he broke down and joined his tears with those which were flowing around him. A few minutes later quiet was restored, and Conference proceeded to the election of two bishops for Africa—one for South and the other for West. On the first ballot Dr. J. A. Johnson was elected for South Africa and Dr. W. H. Heard for West. What the People are Saying There is a unanimous consensus of opinion that a stronger and better set of men has soldon been elevated to the Bench of Bishops. Dr. Lampton comes from the Financial Department, at the head of which he has been for six years—having tilled out the two unexpired years of Dr. Hubbard, who died two years after his election in 1900. Dr. Lampton is a first-class financier and the chairman of Washington that has won or his Chair and himself a high place in financial circles. Dr. Parks comes from the Missionary Department, over whose destinies he has presided with distinguished success for the last 12 years, while Dr. Flipper leaves the presidential chair of that renowned seat of learning, Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga. These men are a tower of strength to the Church, and will, no doubt, greatly enhance her future history at home and abroad. The African bishops, or, rather, the bishops for Africa, are also well spoken of. The General Officers. The following general officers were reelected: Dres. J. H. Collet, manager of the Book Concern, Philadelphia; H. T. Johnson, editor of the Christian Recorder; H. T. Kealing, editor Review; Mr. Im Bryant, secretary-treasurer of the Sunday School Union; J. R. Hawkins, secretary of education; G. W. Allen, editor Southern Christian Recorder; J. B. F. Watson, secretary Church Extended School; Dr. Parks' office has gone to Dr. W. W. Beckett, of South Carolina, while Dr. J. Hurst has succeeded Dr. Lumpkin at Washington: For years Mr. Irn Bryant has had his eye fixed on the secretaryship of the Sunday School Union. By propaganda of every sort he has brought himself prominently before the Church. At this Conference he worked hard to win and to the surprise of many, won. Rev. Dr. Chapale, whom he has displaced, feels his defeat keenly. Of course he ran for the bishopric, and as he must have known, there is quite a tendency at all General offices to oust the president of a general office in violation of his for the higher office and fails to get it. Secretary Bryant has made many promises in regard to the successful working of the department. The Church will anxiously wait to see how much sincerity there is in these promises. The Women of the Church The women of the A. M. E. Church form a silent but most potent factor in the connection's missionary, and rescue work, especially, while in every church the stewardess boards are exceedingly helpful in providing for the pastor's support.

TAFT STRENGTH IN VIRGINIA if the Ohio jurist is nominated, refused positively to have anything to do with the organization. And why? because they were not at the head of the movement. Had they helped make this Negro organization a success, it would have been so strong in the State to-day that the Negro could be in a position to partly dictate his terms to the party organization. Lest we forget, the Negro vote is incomparably small with the Republican vote of the State; he has no organization; he made no fight in Richmond city for recognition, and what possesses him now that makes him think he has a right to send a contesting delegation to Chicago. God only knows. That Judge Taft is the choice of the aggressive Republican vote of the State is a matter of fact. That Judge Taft is "illy white" is not a fact. The maltreatments and insurgent may first and foam at their heads; they may "putate and aggrandize" about the injustice that they have done them but if there has been an unbending by and they alone are responsible for it. It matters not who is nominated at Chicago, if he is placed upon a sound and substantial Republican platform he will receive nine-hundred and ninety-one thousandths of the total Negro vote cast in Virginia. The Negro Negro has not reached the parting of the ways, in national politics, so far as the Republican party is concerned, and never will, as long as the party stands for the principles that made American citizenship possible for the Negro. John Mitchell, Jr., voices the sentiment of the Negress of Virginia when he says: "We are the Negroes who perverse itself and endorses the fads and fancies of the anti-Negro contingent from the Southland, then the time will be a hand for the colored people of the United States to cast lonely in the direction of that organization that will promise to them, no special privileges, but the rights guaranteed to all men regardless of race, color or previous condition, the Constitution of the United States." The party has not reversed itself as yet, and has shown no desire to do, and until it does, God forbid that any Negro whether of high or low degree should survive a hair's breadth from party loyalty. GEORGE S. JULIEN STEPHENS. J. E. BUSH. Delegate-at-Large From Arkansas for Taft, First, Last and All Time. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 15.—That there is no attempt on the part of the white Republicans of Arkansas to intro- duce "Jily-whiteism" in this State was shown when at the recent State Convention J. E. Bush was elected as one of the "Big Four" to Chicago. Since his election as delegate at large Mr. Bush has been receiving congratulations from friends and supporters of Secretary Taft all over the country. He is one of the few Negro delegates at large who will attend the Chicago Convention and feel sure that he will hold his seat, as well as that he will be actively engaged in politics for a number of years in Arkansas and is one of the State's brainstem men. He is known as a fighter, and showed conclusively that he was by coming out first best in the political semimage of a few weeks ago, when opposition to his election seemed at one time strong. Mr. Bush is a director of the Capital City Savings Bank, president of the Order of Mosaic, member of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League, and interested generally in everything that is helpful to the Negro people and white people throughout Arkansas who hold him in high regard, and he is looked on as the leader of the Negro race. "I am for Secretary Taft first, last, and all the time." Mr. Bush recently wrote to Tink Ack. He presides the institution of the Secretary on the first day.

K. Church, which is now being held in this city will go down in the Church's history as the most interesting and important in the long existence of the denomination. The General Conference of 1908 will in the future be pointed to as marking the beginning of a period of new activity for the connection. The bishop, general officers and delegates who have been in attendance here have been the most earnest and enthusiastic body of men that has ever gathered in America under the banner of Varick and Zionism, since the first church was launched in New York. Dedication Exercises. The climax of this enthusiasm was reached on Sunday, when the bishops and many members of the Conference visited the church building, in Lombard street near 19th, and delicately the elfies to the cause of the propagation of the gospel of Christ. The congregation, with the ambition of the leaders of the church for years to have two large churches of their faith in this city was realized. The general Conference raised $2,500 through voluntary contributions to pay on the church and the people who were present sang "Praise God from Whom All Flow" as it has never before been sung. Election of Blacks. The chief interest of the Conference has been centered in the question of the selection of three bishops to assist in presiding over the affairs of the Church and when Dr. M. R. Franklin, Brooklyn, Dr. M. R. Blank, of Brooklyn, and Dr. A. J. Warner, of Alabama, were chosen, after a most stirring and animated content, pandemonium broke loose in the Conference and the bishops just had to sit back and waited for the enthusiasm to die out before the business of the Conference could be proceeded with. The choice of the Conference were most wise ones and show that the good of the Church in every respect was first in the curricula of the delegates. The new chief pastors are one of learning, wide expen General Officers. The selection of Dr. R. A. Morrissey, the pastor of the Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, of this city, an missionary secretary, was a most popular one and the colored citizens at large in Philadelphia, where he has labored earnestly for several years expressing his devotion. Out of the multiplicity of candidates for the various offices in the gift of the Church, the following were selected after much balloting: Rev. J. S. Jackson, of Alabama, financial secretary; Rev. M. D. Lea, general secretary; Dr. J. F. Mooreland, secretary of the Ministerial Brotherhood; Rev. F. R. Bird, of North Carolina, manager of the part-time department; Dr. R. A. Morrissey missionary. The following were reselected: Hon. John C. Dancy, editor A. M. E. Zion Review; Rev. G. C. Clements, editor the Star of Zion; Rev. R. B. Bruce, editor of Sunday school literature; Rev. J. H. Anderson, secretary of church statistics; Rev. E. George Biddle, editor Zion's Trumpet; Proof Kins, secretary of Zion's J. T. McMillan, secretary of Vicki Christian Endearment Department, and Dr. N. W. Goler, president of Livingstone College. The happiest man of the whole group was Dr. John F. Mooreland, who was elected secretary of the Ministerial Brotherhood, which was his greatest ambition and he declares that the old and worn-out preachers, and widows and orphans shall never suffer while he is at the head of the department. Facts and Statistics. Some interesting facts and statistics were submitted to the Conference as to the work and, worth of the connection, through the secretary of statistics, Rev. J. H. Harvey, and show that there are Bishops, Episcopal pastors, and clergy, 128 olders, 128 annual conferences, 34; general officers, 29; active elders, 1,190; active deacons, 486; local elders, 371; local deacons, 411; supernunnated ministers, 50; itinerant preachers, 470; exhorters, 789; local preachers, 1,148; full members, 52,810; probationaries, 12,801; children, 72,820. Interim ministers, 28,381; parsonages built, 145; total number, 330; total number of churches, 3,043; valuation of church possessions, $5,11,620. In his report as president of Livingstone College, Dr. W. H. Gober said that more than 6,000 students have attended the school during its existence and that the value of the school property was $200,000. The quadrennial report of the manager of the Publication Department, Dr. John F. Moorechall, showed that wonderful results were manifest at Charlotte, N. C. during the past four years and that the department was entirely free of all indebtedness. Most pleasing and gratifying report was that of Dr. W. F. Coffey, the secretary of the Church Extension Society, which showed that the total income had been $55,255.00 and that the department had outstanding loans of $20,555. Dr. Coffey declared that the department attained the measure of success in its history. He told of the great need of the spread of the work of the connection in the great Southwest, and said that that section of the country should be the future field of the denomination's activity. There was a big demonstration upon the floor of the church when he had concluded his report, and urged for the maintenance of the emergency fund of his department. Reports of Bishops. Next to the quadrennial address, which was delivered to the Conference by the scholarly Bishop George W. Clinton, and which was an excellent production of thought and opinion and which discussed many phases of church, State and racial questions, the reports of the several bishops were of vast importance to the connection. Each of the bishops told of the work done in their respective Annual Conferences, reviewed the labors of the men in the respective churches, handed them for their labors and presented figures that told of the rise and progress of the Church during the past four years. Bishop Joofoo, the New York Conference, the mother conference, while Bishop Waltera declared that the work of the New Jersey Conference had been equally commendable and the pastors as loyal. While the Conference has been a most pleasing one from Severy viewpoint and Dr. R. A. Mortimay and his good people have been able to provide us with $000 per day, yet the shadow of death has been over the gathering in that the Rev. E. C. Simmons pastor of the Mt. Simal A. M. B. H. Zion Church, Tampa, Fla., and a delegate from the South Florida Conference, died on the 5th in this city while here to attend the Lenape Nation men of the South Florida Conference. He died in the full triumph of the Christian faith and his body, was shipped home for interment. Personnel of Conference. The personnel of the gathering here is a most infrequent one from most all countries, the country and the islands of the sea, as well as far off Africa are men who doing their sojourn have been actuated by high patriotic and Christian motives and have by their demeanor in the streets and other places created their stay in the city strengthened the cause of their deposition. The Committee. The General Conference Commission, which is composed of Bishop George W. Clinton as president; Bishop G. L. Blackwell as secretary; Bishop J. S. Caldwell as vice-president; Bishop M. R. Franklin as president; Bishop M. H. Alexander Walters, Rev. W. H. Coffey, D. D., and Rev. E. H. Curry, D. D., have spared no efforts to make the sojourn of each and all most pleasing and when the Conference shall have adjourned on Thursday and the delegate will leave with them most pleasing recollections of the 22d session of the General Conference of the African M. E. Zion Church. Local Estimates One of the features that has added greatly to the success of the Conference has been the spirituality of the gathering. On each Lord's Day the pulpits of the churches of the city have been occupied by the members of the Conference and of the bishops and high dignitaries of the Church and a wave of Christian and religious enthusiasm has been sweeping over the city. Then, too, there have been held musical and literary entertainments in connection with the Conference evening sessions and the meetings where the people in social contact with each other, and the clergymen and delegates have been saying little about their better halves that they have left behind. On Thursday evening Dr. Rookey T. Washington, accompanied by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, was present at the sessions of the Conference and his reception by the large audience present was most appreciative. His address was listened to with marked attention and he was given hearty applause. Dr. Corrather' Defeat. PHILADELPHIA. May 20.—At the election for bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church, held in this city last week by the General Conference, Dr. G. L. Corrothers of Washington, D. C., was defeated by an overwhelming vote. Out of the 400 delegates present only 11 voted for him and 29 voted for Corrothers' defection in the nature of a severe rebuke administered him because of his recent radical political utterances, and his undue activity at a recent political conference held in this city. Denture Conversion The committee having in charge the arrangements for the convention of doctors to be held in New York city in August are desirous of having the cooperation of the citizens generally. They, therefore, cordially invite all citizens who desire to co-operate to meet with them Friday evening. May 29, at 8:30, at the office of Mr. Edward E. Lee, 334 West 59th street. An Extraordinary Event The St. James Cadets of the St. James Presbyterian Church, of West Elst street, are preparing for an extraordinary event at Majestic Hall, on 125th street. On Thursday evening, May 28 they will celebrate their second anniversary by giving a reception and drill, and for entertaining lengthy program, they offer the one act musical comedy opera, "Love's Locksmith," rendered by the Criterion Choral Society, of New York city. The object of the cadets is to aid the church and to establish a military organization so that our young men may receive the benefit of military training and discipline, young men can make this movement a success. The officers are: William H. Cox, captain; Sterling E. Dance, first lieutenant; Lee Pollard, second lieutenant, and David Swinton, first sergeant. It would be a credit to the community to see the cadets featured in some of our public demonstrations. The event is expected last year and so encouraged them to continue on in this movement trusting their many friends will respond at this particular occasion.

WHAT A FRIEND OF THE NEGRO THINKS. A friend of the Negro, who is interested in his progress and in his successes, has addressed to the editor of the AGE from the Athenaeum, Beacon street, Boston, a communication of, such discerning foresight that we believe it should be given publicity in the editorial columns of THE AGE. This friend, whose name we do not publish, because there is no necessity for doing so, warns thoughtful black men of the danger now threatening them. He writes: "I wonder if you will pardon one, who is not a politician, writing to you on a political subject? I see frequent references to a national race movement among Negroes to defeat Mr. Taft. This seems to me to be a false move on the part of the Negroes. Many thousands of Northern men want Mr. Taft to be President, and if they are awarent that Negroes are on a race issue will not that weaken the North's wish to have the Negro in politics." "There is a discernible trend in the North to let the South handle the Negro problem—even more. I believe, to treat the Negro in the North socially and politically as the South treats him. "If the Negro is to fight a popular Northern man like Taft by making a race isue he plays with fire. The Jew and Chinaman unite their, opposition. Will not this Taft question unite those of the South who want the Negro barred from politics to those at the North who sympathize with the South or are wavering "I have no particular interest in Taft nor in Brownsville. I think the Negro is perfectly justified in voting against him if he has been in the wrong, but I do not believe that a race issue ever helps the race which sets itself apart in politics and acts as a unit. Do you? "I write to you because I believe your support of your race is based on sound principles." We very much hope that the thoughtful of our people will discourage the frenzied performers who are now at work in some sections of the country and who are being abetted by a crowd of irresponsible agitators. TAFT ON THE FIRST BALLOT. Of the 980 delegates to the Republican Convention over 500 have been instructed to vote for the nomination of Secretary Taft as the Presidential nominee. This insures Secretary Taft of the nomination, and we predict that he will be unanimously nominated on the first ballot. Last week Alaska, California, North Dakota, Oregon and Washington decided beyond a question of a doubt that the Secretary would be nominated by instructing for him, and this week shows that other States are for him. It will be a great Taft demonstration when the convention meets in June. THE "LILY WHITES" AT CHICAGO. From Louisiana, North Carolina, Texas and a few other Southern States comes authentic information that the "lily whites" are active and endeavoring to do all in their power to prevent Negro representation at the Chicago convention. Some of these "lily whites" are electing delegates and instructing them for Secretary Taft, but Title Aar believes that the Secretary is averse to white delegates from the South who are seeking to deprive the Negro of his rights as an American citizen. We feel sure that when these "lily whites" go to Chicago in June they will be given a surprise party they will not soon forget. THE BROWNSVILLE CASE: It is to be regretted that conditions are such that the Brownsville matter cannot be settled at this session of Congress—and settled in a way that would have done justice to every soldier who was dismissed in that famous wholesale and unfortunate discharge. The Senators, however, who have been the most ardent and earnest champions of the cause of the colored battalion whose case is at bar have concluded the best thing to be done at this time—the best thing for the men for whom they are fighting—is to wait until all of the excitement incident to this particular event and its relationship to the presidential election has subsided. We are constrained to the belief, that this is the most sensible attitude to assume in the matter and by, far the wisest step that could be taken at this juncture of the proceedings in Congress. Senator Foraker himself, the leading force in the battle for the restoration and complete rehabilitation of the soldiers, has recognized the futility of his efforts to get the votes for the discharged men at this season of Congress. Like a good general and farseeing statesman, he prefers a probable victory for them next December to certain defeat now. Under present conditions the friends of the soldiers cannot, get the votes in the United States Senate. That is a foregone conclusion. There are thousands of white men who are earnest and honest in their championship of the cause of the dismissed soldiers, but we know that there are many others who are using the situation produced by the discharge of the men solely for political and personal reasons. The Brownsville matter has been the most profitable asset the so-called "allies" have had in their opposition to the candidacy of Secretary Taft. Now that the prop has been so suddenly and so rudely snatched from under the cause of the "combination" we expect to see the opposition to Judge Taft dwindle completely away. The greatest good that will come out of the unexpected situation developed by the action of the Senate will be the probable squealing of certain professional Negro "leaders" who have kept themselves before the public solely on this issue. These men will find out now that their tirades and harangues will not be reproduced in the white press, in the country. Brownsville has been eliminated from the presidential equation by the best friends of the soldiers—by men who are really able to help them, and with it has gone the occupation of a great many men, white and colored, who were not known before the matter became an issue and will probably not be heard of. THE NEGRO VOTE AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Events tombing to clear the atmosphere for the colored voters of the country are coming thick and fast nowadays. Not many weeks ago William Jennings Bryan delivered himself of an utterance touching the disfranchisement of the Negro that makes it almost impossible for any colored man who has the proper respect for himself to vote the Democratic ticket at the next national election. There never was any fear that any considerable number of colored men who would think of such a thing as deserting the only political party in the country that has ever done anything for them and try to put in power the party that is responsible for every law on the statute books of the various States that discriminates against them and their wives and their children. Yet there was a danger lest a few voters might be deluded by a harmful of men—self-constituted leaders of the race—who are going up and down the country, not at their own expense, telling Negro voters to support Bryan if Taft is nominated. Right on the heels of this admonition comes Bryan's pronunciation to the effect that he believes in the disfranchisement of the black man of this country. If he believes in this he believes in every other form of discrimination practiced against the Negro. It seems to us that if these men who call themselves leaders really had the interest of the race at heart they would endeavor to speak and to act in such a way that they might gain the confidence of the thoughtful people among those whom they are trying to influence. If the colored people of the country have a real grievance against the Republican party the place in which to get redress for that grievance is within the lines of the party, not outside of the breastworks. There is absolutely no hope for the Negro in the Democratic party, nor in a national Democratic victory. We believe that Grover Cleveland is one of the best and fairest of men, although a Democrat, and yet he could not stem the tide of prejudice that came up from the South by virtue of the prestige of his first victory. At the National capital where colored men had enjoyed unusual privileges they felt keenly the blighting effects of a national Democratic victory. Colleges there that were opened to colored men immediately closed their doors against them. Restaurants where they were served, theatres and pleasure grounds where they found entertainment no longer received them cordially, and finally excluded them altogether. This is the kind of thing that follows in the wake of a Democratic victory. The Negro voters of the country will see to it that we do not have another one in the near future, notwithstanding all of the bad advice that is being handed out to them by a coterie of "leaders" who have no following, and many of whom have no vote. H. C. SMITH NOT CONSULTED. Evidently Senator Foraker does not consult the able editor of our esteemed contemporary, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, of the Cleveland Gazette, before he decides to do things. Last fall our friend Harry announced boldly, in one issue, that the Senator was not in favor of the election of Burton as Mayor, and called on the colored voters of Cleveland to vote against Burton in order to show their loyalty to Foraker. On the same day the Cleveland Journal carried a letter from Senator Foraker in which lie advised all Republicans to support the, Burton, ticket. In the Cleveland Gazette's last issue appeared the following editorial: "Senator Foraker says there will be no adjournment of Congress until the Brownsville matter is settled, and you THE NEW YORK AGB: THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1908. know he has a way of saying truthful things only. Good! "Hold their noses to the grindstone, senator, we'll willingly turn the wheel." By the time the Gazette reached its readers with this apparent authoritative announcement the public knew that Senator Foraker, from his seat in the Senate, had arose and moved that the Brownville matter go over until next December. Now why is it that the Senator never consults the able editor of the Cleveland Gazette first? His failure to do so appears to place the editor in the ridiculous position of declaring that a certain thing will not be done after it has already been done. JUDGE HOUGH'S DECISION According to United States District Judge Hough in a recent decision given in New York, the judicial branch of the Government has no power to coerce or review the discretion of the President in the Brownsville affair, Judge Hough held that as a question of law the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry were discharged by President Roosevelt without honor, and that in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief the court has not the power to render a decision interfering with his actions. The decision was rendered in the case of Private Oscar Reid, one of the discharged soldiers, who instituted proceedings to recover pay from the date of his discharge. The decision does not mean that the discharged soldiers will not be able to get redress, but emphasizes the fact that the soldiers will have to book to the President and Congress and not the courts for reinstatement. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Secretary Taft will be nominated in Chicago by the Republican party. Now let the Negroes do their part toward liberating Chicago; it is our duty to help them do without being persuaded. This way we do without being persuaded. Now let us use our influence and clout our next Republican President with a larger majority than any other President has yet received. Little Rock Music Guide. Let us remember that we are citizens of the country, and that we citizens any one party host. In the language of the late lamented Frederick Douglas, "The Republican party is the old ship. All outlaws." The Palladium stands for the principles of the Republican party. That party in its platform has granted all open certainties, among which is "personal liberty." We are for the nominees of the Republican party. - St. Louis Palladium. There is no fairness in our holding Secretary Taft to account for the discharge of the Fort Brown battalion, no matter what our views as to the wisdom of that event. The President issued a letter to Taft, asking him to carry out the orders of his chief executive. He is a man under authority. But even with this Mr. Taft, not seeing the matter as the President did, tried to maintain his position with Taft, but he have him censured by the Mr. Taft, did all he could to prevent what at that time seemed to him and to all of us a rash step on the part of the President, but to no avail. Mr. Russell in uncompromising to command him to guard the final issue, but we give Mr. Taft full credit for all that he tried to do. Wood's Magazine, St. Louis, Mo. If anything has given the Western College prestige as an institution, it is the ministers who have graduated and gone forth to train its walls. This matter is not new, but it is more important are the leaders of the people and the times demand a clean, active, intelligent ministry; therefore, the theological department of the school must not be overlooked. We can boost afford to minimize the number of ministers considered, rather than to neglect ministerial training. Our white brothen make much of this phase of the school, and as they give, they have in view the need to train the ministers, desist say neglect the training of persons for teachers and other professions of life, but if we have a well educated ministry, will not these other things follow? We can point with pride to what we have done in the war of educating men for the ministry, -Western Messenger. Where do our friends stand who are going to vote for Bryan if Tatt is nominated? Bryan as a recent speech in New York shows, stands side by side with the South in the disaffectionism of the North, and in the leadership of such men who would advise the "avowed enemy" to the "false friend" But Bishop Waters and Prof. DuBois have not been heard from since Bryan's speech. We suspend till the gentleman from Atlanta "Bishop" the floor; "I decline the floor" of the gentleman from Atlanta, Prof. DuBois "Says the chairman," "The gentleman from New Jersey yields the floor to the gentleman from Atlanta." In a plaintive tone the gentleman from Atlanta has declined Columbus (S. C. Southern Sun. The Boston Guardian, under its Democratic editor, Trotter, has done the cause of Senator Foraker more damage than all his true friends can repair. It's unreasonable assault upon Negroes, whom with in the same breath, is having the effect of driving friends away instead of drawing to. The Guardian has long since become a persuasionist rather than a prosecutionist. It's a violent denunciator that was part with the anerobic paper that was issued permission to go through the mail. The Roe yields to no man, in its admiration for and gratitude to Senator Foraker. On some of these blunt demands, the Roe says in many ways as much? The Roe has never solicited a penny directly or indirectly, not even remotely, from Senator Foraker or his managers, or from Secretary Taft or his managers. The Roe is not entitled to be for or against.—Washington Bee. It is to be hoped that the leading confections of Nebraska in America will not find it necessary to be greatly influenced in what it has to say on the political situation if indeed it has anything to say at all. Really conditions are improving, not that they are not months ahead, and the General Conference should help to further improve conditions. If Mr. Taft is to be fought it ought to be on well-defined grounds. If the Roe fails to achieve his defeat—and where there is so much doubt, we may never bear the last of it. There is no reason for not challenging or questioning the methods of selecting delegates to the convention When such methods are questionable. A race question partly takes far more poorly in political affairs. The M. K. Conference should put itself on record as having the broadest outlook for the future of the whole race, modifying such outlook by existing circumstances and not personal desires. Such a position will be essential to the success of the dom- standing for the host in spite of present and to be hoped temporary perturbment.—Indiana/julia Freeman. For the first time in the political life of the Negro in this country he finds himself unwelcome in the house of his friends—the Republican party. The big injustices given the Republican ticket in the wholly Republican majors in both branches of Congress and the inroads which the party has made on the solid South, have all served to turn the heads of certain elements not Republicans, but Democrats, who are affiliated with the Republican party. The organization has been perfected in every Southern State, and has adopted again, the Negro as its rallying man. The Negro as its rallying man entered upon this work without thought. As mad as they are, they are method in their madness. The object is to make the job of jobbing exclusively the white man's burden, that they reason that if the Negro can be eliminated they will have brought about耻, a condition for which they devourly wish. The remedy for this piece of audacious business by these mendacious beings lies in the hands of the colored man of the South, who has neither countermeasure nor purpose with the bourbon jim-crow ridden prejudice damned Democratic party, but it prefers an open enemy to a false, desitious enemy. The Negro has not grown of the country will follow its lead and take its advice they will do like Samson did at the heathen temple when the Whistlers put out his eyes—pillow down pillars, kill every god and die in the rains. The "filly white" propaganda of the South must be broken up. The battle at the White House must be decisive. The war is inevitable, let it come. Dalias's *Texas Express*. "I want to say right now that the white men of the South are giving the Negroes better laws than the Negroes would give to the white men if they were making the laws," Bryan, Mr. Bryan puts himself up as authority on Negro legislation. If he is no better informed on the Negro question than here stated, that of itself unless him for the Presidency of the United States. It is true that the franchise law was aljored straight at the Negro, but otherwise the Negroes are not kicking so much about the law as they are kicking about the administration of the law. The next inferiors law in the South is the so-called "Jim Crow" ear law. This law provides for separate and equal accommodation for both races alike, but do we get it? When he hears us kicking me are not kicking to rub up his side the white man, but we are kicking for the worth of our money. Let Mr. Ryan take a trip through the South with his eyes open and he will see that hose is wrong and we are able to sit in his seat while reading the law in his seat all right, we are here living under its exception and know whoof we speak. And we would like also to state to the Nebraska that the Southern people do claim to making laws for the Negro, not all the people. Any law that helps or hurts a Negro, does the same thing for a white man similarly circumstantial. Darlington (S.C. Farmers' Courier. The question of "What shall we do about this discrimination and separation?" which came to Rocket T. Washington when he began to think how he his people find equal opportunity for the Negro in William Jennings Bryan's opinion as expressed by himself in his New York address. It would seem that Mr. Ryan was not afraid of the Negro vote than any former candidate for Democratic presidency. Bryan does not give any good, strong reason for defrauding the Negro, in his relationship with his "Universal Brotherhood" views. He lays some little stress on educational requirements and would not have given the standard of qualification on the Negro. Mr. Bryan draws the comparison between the Negro and the Filipino in race, age, and experience, this a hundred years or more ago, but even at that the origin of the two situations are outright removed and foreign. The Filipino is made under decidedly different conditions than that of the Filipino. No armored cruisers or gattling guns marked the white man. It was force, certainly, to some extent, but the conditions are so vastly different that such a comparison as Mr. Bryan makes is ridiculous. And now what will we do to overcome this new and yet old Democratic discrimination? We have done much in the past. We have done little in Negro's vote can place Democratic so much further from the White House than it has ever been before that such a thing as disfranchising the Negro will become a reality. Our vote is a powerful power. A power worth the effort of one party to misdirect or disfranchise must be of some value to its owners. The Negro is the most important set of persons as a whole and not expect the few considerations votes of his race to carry his side. Every Negro should vote this fall. Colorado Springs Western Enterprise. On the evening of April 27, the Cosmopolitan Society of New York gave a dinner at one of New York's cafes. The dinner was a celebration of both sexes. It was formed for the purpose of bringing the thoughtful colored and white persons in close contact, in freedom, to discuss problems and to learn from each other. Out of this dinner, however, has grown a great deal of discussion through the newspapers and by Southern white men concerning what they are pleased to call the "social equality" feature, whatever it may be. After considering this question carefully we feel that the South should be silent on this issue. We know, and the South knows, that the 7,000,000 militants of the "nighttime" "social equality" between white men and colored women. We know that nearly every aristocratic white family in the South has Negro relatives, and that many of them are who usually scream the loudest against social equality have colored children. Indeed, all over the South there are colored women maintained by white men upon whom no colored man is permitted to enter, and all over the South, least 5,000 white men married to octoors, and in Louisiana the percentage is larger. And if you want further evidence of the way white people seek their own place in the world, the way they prey upon the servants they have in their employ. The conditions have become so hard in this way, until colored women all, over the South are fighting to keep out of domestic service and to prevent them from attending which we hear. And if you are still in doubt, go into the red-light dis- tricts of the South, North, East or West and see the white men practicing their "night-time" "social equality." And then ask yourself why white men scream about getting near the Negro in the same railway station, or in the same school. Ever and anon they are screaming about "social equality," now let them ponder this plain statement of facts, however regretable it is to us for what we have said—Omaha Enterprise. There should not be any need for compulsory education in Alabama, but there is need for it in other states, need is among the white people. The Negroes do not need the law. They send their children to school. A compulsory education law would not make any visible difference in any white school. It would make no difference in the white schools, in many countries. It is a sad fact that there are still white people in this State who feel no need to education. They do not send their children to home, have no books, no papers and no wish for any. These people need a compulsory education law, and the women who deliberately move to cotton mill towns with the intention of hiring their children with mills that they may live on the land, or care for the mental, or moral welfare of the little ones. It is necessary for some children to work to help parents in the working. There are many of these, and the compulsory law will help, not hurt them. There is best for the compulsory education. It is fair to presume that it will be good that will not bear hard on any set of Hirnlingham (Alabama) Ace Herald. ADDRESS OF DR. B. T. WASHINGTON Delivered Before the A. M. E. Church General Conference at New York Nortok, VA. May 15. The principal event of the week in connection with the A. M. E. Chu, A. G. Global conference guide from the election of officers was the strong, convincing, interest-promoting address of Dr. Rasheer T. Washburn, the stake-upon invitation of the Conference Friday evening. May 15. The largest event of the Conference session gathered the Rink Auditorium to hear the audience speaker of the occasion. More than 3,000 people paid an admission fee to hear Dr. Washington, the whole process going on. Dr. Washington contributed to the Conference. Dr. Washington contributing views and the expense account of himself and secretary to the Conference. On the behalf of Dr. Washington were Rishans Aerith A. M. Washington were Rishans Aerith A. M. Washington were Exams Tyler L. L. Coppin, C. J. Shaffer, R. P. Lee, C. S. Smith, Prof. W. S. Segarrough, Hon. W. T. Vernon, Dr. Washburn, secretary, Mr. Lennott J. Scott, and Dr. H. T. Johnson, who introduced Em. The audience was spontaneously hearty, every demonstration of the overwhelming indignation being voiced in the overwhelming indignation being voiced in the conclusion of the element address. At a summer towed by Washington at the Dr. Vernon Hotel, by Mr. L. W. Bright, by Dr. William Bishop and general officer of the Church leaders of the Church were present and responded to toasts, all voicing sympathy and endorsement of the sensible address. Dr. Washington has every reason to feel proud of the capability of his welcome host of the magnificent audience and of the sympathy and god will of the African Methodism. It will mean much to the race for these strong forces to be working side by side in complete understanding. On Saturday the General Conference went in a body to the famous Hampton Institute. A boat was provided by the Institute, Ingleside served to nearly 600 people. The committee was in visiting all departments of the school. In the gymnasium addresses were made by Dr. Washington, Bishop Gaines, Dr. Grant, Hon. W. T. Vernon, Dr. H. T. Keenan, Dr. Goose, Dr. Bolling and others. Dr. Washington spoke for nearly two hours and in part as follows: There are certain points of fundamental interest which we as a race can unite. On these points we can pass a person who there should be any division between it. It is not necessary that we be united on non-essentials, but there are certain great fundamental principles, so important to the progress of any race of people that I am going to take the liberty of emphasizing the necessity of having constant union in the promotion of these great principles. First, we can unite as a race upon the idea that we are to remain in this country; that we are to be permanently classed as American citizens. Again, we can unite upon the idea that the masses of our people are to remain in the Southern States, and that when they leave the Southern States the masses should remain in the Southern States. It is impossible for a race to achieve any high degree of progress until it has definitely settled the place of its people. The people of the Southern States are always an unsuccessful people. Resides, there are certain elements, which will follow us no matter where we go. One cannot get rid of poverty or ignorance, and the place of his abode; on the other hand, if one possesses intelligence and skill and high moral character, these elements will follow him and stand him in stead no matter where he may reside. We can all unite upon the idea that in the case of a race in the same relative stage of civilization that the masses of one race are more powerful than one of the first essentials for success; that the matter of ownership of land, of homes, of cultivating habits of economy, of building today for tomorrow, this race for tomorrow, is not the same as the race of people who are working in progressive, constructive directions instead of working in destructive directions, has only been through constant, persistent effort, has built up a great church organization that commands the respect and confidence of the world. In these great constructive directions, in these great constructional directions, in these great discrimination, no chance for the drawing of the color line. Many may discriminate as to race, but soil and sunshine and no color line, they yield their fathers as quickly to the touch of the hand and brain of the black man as they do to the hand and brain of the whitest individual, no color line, they yield their fathers as quickly to the touch of the hand and brain of the black man as they do to the hand and brain of the whitest individual, no color line, they yield their fathers as quickly to the touch of the civilization of the world. In proportion as we lay solid and carefully the same kind of material foundation which has made other races so successful, in the same degree well we prosper. We can unite again upon the idea that we have a great opportunity in this country to enter into business, to become company owners, to become a Negro minister must in a large degree be the leader and the guide. In respect to material and business settlement, the Negro minister, unlike the white minister, is not a man of the business, the material and commercial considerations that now confront the Negro have been settled centuries ago by the white man himself, hence it is important that the Negro minister perform a broader or more varied service than is true of the white minister. In our Southern coute especially, does the Negro have an opportunity to sell his labor in what opportunity he has he a raceportunity to succeed in commercial business enterprises. We must learn to overcome, evil with good. If a man says the Negro cannot show him a farm that the Negro bought. If a man says the Negro cannot build and live in a decent house, do not argue with him, let me point to a deformity, and tell him that he is not and occupies. If a man says a Negro cannot save money and live an honest, decent, industrious life, do not argue with him, let me point to the scores and hundreds of our people in his community who are living decent and honorable. If a man says the Negro cannot conduct himself, but show him a bank that the Negro is conducting successfully. The object lesson in all these respects will go farther than thousands of abstract arguments. We can again unite the idea that it is off the first importance, that the masses of our people be educated. Only a very few of our people are educated, children in this and the next generation, children beyond the public school branches. A very small percentage will ever go to a high school college or industrial school. Those who do not get their education in the public school will grow up in the schools for the most part, will grow up in the schools. It behaves us, then, to see to it in connection with our church work that in some manner, either through public fund or private fund, that every child that we give to our children will grow up six or eight months during the year. We can unite upon the idea that education must be suited to the needs of the people. Who will doubt if the Republic of Liberia is going to succeed, by putting out scores and hundreds of well-educated intelligent farmers and mechanics every year as well as professional men, but what these countries would soon be producing such richest that they would be the world. Industrial or hand education that a few years ago, we thought was being applied only to the Negro, is now being given white boys and girls through the South, in a country and especially in the North, in a country that has ever been provided for black children. Again, we can unite as a race upon the idea that our leaders, whether they are ministers or teachers, must be of a pure, high moral type. We can unite upon the idea that a single moment a man in the pulpit as a leader whose moral character is questionable. Justice to the clean minister demands that he shall not be compelled to associate with the one of unclean character, because the degree than is true of any other class, is paroled to lead public sentiment rather than to follow it, must lead public sentiment when it is not popular to do so, must learn that the doctrine which is most popular is not that which in the long run will do the people the most good. We can unite as a people upon the idea that wherever the black man lives, he must persevere the same policy that other races pursue, and that is to make friends in a manly, straightforward manner with other people, among whom we must learn to manage ourselves itself in cultivating the friendship and confidence of the white man who is right at our disposal. Of all the facts in my life, I have never felt more confident. I point to with more satisfaction than the fact that in my town and in my county, I can call every man, no matter how much he is poor, a friend in mind as I said in the beginning, that the great masses of our people are to remain in the South, and we should see actions that we add to their burdens. We can unite upon the idea, again, that we do not ask any special consideration because of our race or color, but that the laws of the United States apply to other races of people in this country be applied with equal and exact and unerring justice to our race. We can unite upon the idea that we do not ask any special consideration other race necessary to our salvation, but we do consider that it is fundamentally important that everywhere in America that we have the equal and sure protection of all people in public officials in regard to life and property. We can unite upon the idea that no group of people shall be more loyal to the interests of this nation than we are, and that it will be a bitter and unfortunate day for us if the white people should be the idea that the Negro race in a large degree is not an enemy to those who are selected to rob' over the destinies of this nation. The common masses of our people everywhere look to you as leaders for hope, for encouragement, for keeping before them that which will stimulate, that which will secure them on to higher and higher achievement. They are not looking to you to be the most of them, but to a note of triumph. The note of development, being to you to sound a note of despair, being the note of courage and faith and hope, I am constantly engaged in a study of the condition of my people in every part of America, and I find no reason for discouragement, no reason for doubting the future. True, we have problems, difficult times, and no one to solve, but I had rather belong to a group that has problems than to belong to one that has the most, and rather belong to a race that has difficulties to overcome than to belong to a race that has before it only a flowery path. Think of it: Think of the contrast: Picture twenty slaves landing in this vicinity at Jamostown as few encantments are, then put in contrast these thousand-old intelligent, virtuous, loyal, Christian men and women who come up here to attend this great conference. Can any one rest for a single minute his mind upon this scene and then feel that there is no hope for us in the future? BALTIMORE CONFERENCE Blakson Scott of Liberia Mira Imprema M. B. B. M. B. C. Mason choice for Blakson. Baltimore, Mo., May 18—The General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, is still in session, and the discussions during the past week have been exceedingly interesting. There have been also a number of reports from the various foreign fields of the Church which have shown remarkable progress. With respect to the matter of legislation, the proposal coming from the Bishops to eliminate from the Discipline such specific offences for which members should be excluded from the Church, as during, theatre-going, horse racing, card playing, etc., has occupied considerable attention; and the disposition seems to be in the direction of eliminating the specified offences. Many of the speakers, in the addresses, especially the Bishops working in Roman Catholic countries, have aggressively attacked the Roman Catholic Church, going so far as to either aćferiza at as a program of institution. Their many allusions have been for from being courteous or complimentary, and such a course has aroused strong and severe criticism from without. A proposition is now before the body, and it is not before the monositive debate, to strike out from the Discipline, wherever the words occur, "district superintendent" . Rev Dr. M. Bishop Scott, the missionary bishop to Liberia, made a first rate impression the other day when he rendered the report of his work in that far distant field. Certainly, the missionary was not to comment so pleasantly upon the deliverances of a Negro, under such circumstances, the effort made must well be worthy of special mention. Bishop Scott was only to talk a few minutes with the bishop to be convinced that he is not only an efficient worker but, previously a man of God. The Sun, a few days ago, named the first response to the prediction of Colored Man at Bishop said: "If you were to see a great show of interest in the progress of the new church, there is a chance now that it will in all probability that man will be Reverend M. R. of the Church's Secretary of the Freedom of the Air Society. The greatness of the work and their friends are sanguine as to the election of Dr. Mason and his chance for success since the new church, they want him to work in and provide the right place to the new church. We, of course, will inform us to the people of the work realize keenly that this is an absolute necessity for the progress of the Church among the Negroes. The session was a great success, and the new church was not inasmuch as the whole Conference histoed by the President of the United States. It is generally believed that the present work is the fitness the nonemployment of much legislation, well in the action of the number of bishops deemed inquisite. A very implacable episode of care, and between Bishops Burt and Scott, involving the venacity of one or both of them, is the most important power of responsible for quoting both of the bishops as saying that the affair is now released. Most all the churches of the city have the pleasure "open pulpits" have had the pleasure listening to many of the distinguished bishops, as well as other evangelists, during the conference. The news from Norfolk with respect to the election of the Roy, Dr. John Albert Johnson as a missionary bishop to South Africa, by the A.M. E. Conference in that city, has been received the pleasure on the part of a host of friends and well wishers of the successful person, greatly beloved in this city. The Diesson Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Maryland, will convene in Emmanuel Church, this week in New York, only African American delegates to this local vector of St. James' Church, this city, and, Mr. Solomon DeGoursey, the lay delegate from that parish. The matter of the principal thing which will be the principal thing which will be the constitution of that body. In the same church, on Saturday and Sunday next, will take the annual convention of the Reuben Academy, where the chapters in the diocese of Maryland Easton and Washington. It will bring together some 700 lay workers of the Episcopal Church. There are only some men in the dioceses concerned, which means that there will be probably a dozen or more colored men in attendance. Mr. Charles M. Johnson, so well and favored by the diocese, bride, direct from Augusta, Ga., has been stopping in the city for a few days, en route for their home in Boston, Mass. His many friends here were delighted to see and extend their warm congratulations. VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY Graduation at One of Virginia's Leading Colleges. RICHMOND, VA. May 18—Virginia Union University closed its school year with interesting exercises, as follows: Sunday afternoon, May 17, the baccalaureate, W. C. James, D.

Its exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition of American History models awarded for higher literary work. The year has been disappointing in only one respect, and that is the inability of the school to accommodate the number of students so have desired to attend. If it had been a broad-minded educator it would seem that it would be a school like the university in Richmond, which has practically the whole State for its field, and which numbers nineteen-thirds of all the college church members of the State. Efforts are being put forth toward the securing of a new dormitory to accommodate the young men that ought to have within their homes along literary and intellectual lines, as well as along industrial lines.

Charles Henry arrest to succeed the late Bishop Henry James Satterlee as the official head of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Boston to the colored adherents of that faith throughout the country. In the common convention, which assembled at St. Paul's P. E. Church on Wednesday, the new prelate was elected by a vote being cast for him on the second ballot. There were eight colored delegates in the convention and the entire vote of the race was cast for Bishop Brent from the outset, making materially in his election. Benedict T. J. Brown, clerical, and Messrs. J. C. Norwood and J. O. Bampfield, lay. St. Mary's Mission of St. John's, was represented by Rector O. L. Mitchell. The other clerical delegates of our race Hall, Howard University; Rev. J. C. Van Loo, Rev. A. W. F. Collier and F. I. A. Bennett. Rector T. J. Brown, of St. Luke's P. E. Church, expressed himself as greatly pleased with the election of Bishop Brent. He prelated accept the assignment to this Bold. The sentiments voiced by Rector Brown are undoubtedly the sentiments of the church, which pervades color, and it is very likely that a favorable response will be received from the Bishop-elect at an early date. A cablegram, dated at Manila, brings word that the matter carefully under advisement.

The home offices employ a large force of clerks, bookkeepers, stonemakers, etc., and a small army of agents are engaged in the field. The entire race of employees is being trained, and prisons like this, which spreads out and opens avenues of employment of such a varied character, with steady and increasing financial returns.

Rutherford, in young man of extraordinary push and energy, and whose fitness and capacity for managing large affairs are host to the unprecedented results he has achieved. Mr. R. Robert W.

The action of the Board of Education in removing Miss Mary E. Nalle from a position as teacher in the M Street High School, has been sustained by the court in an opinion handed down by Mr. Justice Van Orsdel. Miss Nalle held that her dismissal was not in accord with the method prescribed by law and sought by mandamus procedural counsel. The court ruled that the action of the Board and compel her restatement. The writ was denied by the Supreme Court, for reasons touching the discretionary power of the Board over the personnel and this judgment upon appeal, was affirmed by the Appellate Court. The case grew out of the system of reorganization inaugurated two years ago by Superintendent Chanelle during her tenure as principal. Mrs. Anna J. Cooper, principal of M Street High School; J. Birney, superintendent principal; John L. Koch, instructor in M Street High School; and Miss Nalle were separated from the employment of the schools. The Dollier bill, now pending in Congress, is designed to correct some of the alleged evils exposed through the various investigators disturbed citizens, but there is an evident desire to give the present system a A report in a local paper to the effect that the colored members of the Board of Education are opposed to the retention of the colored Bruce is denied by persons who enjoy the confidence of the three representatives of the race on the School Board. Speaking for Mr. Terrell, who was out the time, a prominent colored citizen said: "I know Mr. Terrell is not opposed to Mr. Bruce's continuance at the head of our school system. He is a brilliant young man and his abilities, present and that she took the initiative in urging him to return to Washington and accept a place in the school system, pointing out the likelihood of an early promotion. Mr. Bruce has a storm of criticism, and she is standing by him with undiminished loyalty to this day. Mr. Bruce has "made good" and will grow stronger with added experience. There is no serious demand that channe, and it is not likely that any will be made." Rev. W. P. Gibbons, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, presided at the church where he died Wednesday last at the Columbia Hospital. Mrs. Graves was the mother of Mrs. Edith Jackson and Mr. James Graves and active member of Mt. Carmel Church. the testimonial in honor of Prof. John T. Layton, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, of which notation has been given, and the testimony of attendance and artistic quality. The Marine Band, directed by Lieutenant W. H. Santelmann, was repeatedly enclosed, and the supporting singers were all covered in the performance and appended audienues. The painstaking work of Prof. Layton in this community for the past 30 years was given an enthusiastic note of approval, and 60 of the petition for the testimonial and the list of patrons represented the best people of both races of the national capital. The committee on arrangements, the committee on measures of success is due, was composed of James L. Noll, chairman; S. E. Lae, secretary; Dr. E. W. Lumpkin, treasurer; Messrs. Vernon R. R.

Davidson, of Kentucky, a clerk in the office of the auditor for the Department of Justice, has patented a patent, numbered SN1,721, for his invention of a new device for operating paper on an adding machine. By this patent Mr. Davidson is invested with the sole right to make use and sell the device. Mr. Davidson has added machines in his bureau, Mr. Davidson's keen discernment and accurate knowledge of their mechanism led him to take note of their imperfections, and to improve the quality of the cart to improve their efficiency.

The sudden death of Mrs. Luba E. Jackson, wife of Mr. George W. Jackson, of 1126 224 street N. W., which occurred Saturday evening, led to a case as unresolved as the death of the funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church, Rector O. L.

She has given satisfaction to the progressive people of this community and her experiences, large public duties and her commitment to duty have been potent factors in bringing our school system up to its present high estate.

NEW YORK AGE PUBLISHING COMPANY 7 and 8 Queens Square New York Music and the Stage ```markdown ``` COLORED SHOW INVADES BOWERY At last the Negro performers have invaded the Bowery. This statement may not impress the casual reader as possessing any unusual significance, nevertheless it means much. The Bowery is one of the most unique as well as noted spots in New York City. In its general make-up it is entirely different from any other locality in Manhattan. The inhabitants of the Bowery live as they see fit, and their style of theatrical amusements is different from that of the majority of New Yorkers. As the "Boweryites" reign supreme in their bailwick, they are seldom, if ever, confronted with the so-called Negro problem, for there are not enough Negroes on the Bowery to furnish a race problem. Thus there has never been a demand for colored shows on the Bowery. It has been the one spot in Manhattan where the "not wanted" sign has been up on Negro performers. As far down on the East Side as Pantor's and Huber's has the Negro appeared in all his glory. The West Side has always been the one bright and particular spot where he gained name, wealth and fame. But on the Bowery the twenty-three" sign has always been on the Bowery they support burlesque shows and productions where plenty of blood and thunder are in evidence. It is here that the villian and the hero are hissed and applauded lustily. So it was up to "Jolly" John Larkins and his organization of colored performers to bodily lavade the sacred precincts of the Bowery and give the theatrical novices of the "forbidden land" the power to roar, to dance and comedy. The title of the piece in which the company is appearing is called "A Trip to Africa." The title is taken literally first-of-fourly by the patrons of the London Theatre, where the company is playing, for, with the exception of Joe signs or some other colored boxer in a burlesque show, they have never seen a company of Negro performers in music and dance. The audience at the London Theatre, to the writer, was far more interesting to watch than the people on the stage, for he had always attended the theatre where the patrons were well acquainted with colored shows. But in this gase those in the audience — the novel — something enlightened, different from the "blood and thunder" and the burlesque shows to which they were accustomed. In two instances the colored performers made a decided impression on the audience—in their singing and in their dancing. Most of the songs were enthusiastically received and the singers were enclosed. The "Bowerytites" also seemed to like the dancing and evidenced their approval by hand-clapping, cheering and whistling. But after that! It's a sad, sad story. When John Larkins and his jolly band were doing a bit of comedy one would have thought, from the silence in the theatre, that the villian was about to cause an engine to run over the heroine or some hair-raising situation. Almost every time some comedy was magicked all the people began to wonder if the people in the audience spoke German or Italian and were unable to understand English, so "frapped" were their facial expressions when they should have laughed, at least smiled. The whole trouble was, this typical Bowery audience did not understand Negro comedy, and was only familiar with the slap-stick comedy that one sees in a burlesque show, or in the movie In a general half-dozen laughs there the audience during the entire evening's performance. But the inability of the colored comedians to make the "Boweryites" laugh heartily does not reflect on their ability as laugh-producers. They are up against a hard game. In fact, they are performing mission work, and will have to activate a teammate thirst of theatre-comedy as has been done elsewhere. In the "Merry Widow" Company was to play on the Bowery it would not make the hit that "Why Girls Leave Home" or some other stirring melodrama would do without a doubt. In the cast of "A Trip to Africa" with "Jolly" John Larkins are such well-known performers as W. J. Ringgold, and W. J. Tankins, all of whom have been making people laugh—that is, until they struck the Bowery. Others in the cast are Elizabeth Wallace, who is leading lady and who does her lines as though she enjoys her work; George Reece, who plays the role of a bear; Herbert Sutton, mail carrier; Clarice Wick, Sapoilio; John Garcia, as waiter, and James Marshall, as the detective. John Larkins as "King Jasper" is to a decided disadvantage so far as his comedy work is concerned. But in his singing he more than makes good. His song in the first act, "Royal Coon" is a very good number and the "Roweries" made him repeat the number several times. In a theatre where colored shows have played before, and with a song will make a big hit with the song. Another number of his that found favor was "Dolly, Brown," which he sang, assisted by the chorus, at the end of the last act. Tom Logan plays opposite to Larkins in the role of "Jim Grafter." As the bad man after the money he played a character familiar to the patrons of the London Theatre, and for this reason was well received. Melvin Ringold sang and danced as old. He rightly enjoys the distinction of being the leading colored comedien on the stage. A very promising tenor in Herbert Sutton. But let him remember two things—he must acquire confidence in himself, and learn to breathe properly. He has two songs, which he sings advantageously. The audience took kindly to his song in the first act, "The Man in Gray," and he was also compelled to respond to encues in the last act when shaking "Kentucky Home." The first act closes with dancing of the fast and furious order. Between the first and the second act, to use the exact wording on the program, "polite vaudeville" followed. The first on the bill was Clemo and Cancelle. Mine was the second. Pearance is very attractive, and her partner is a contortionist of no little ability. They were followed by a hoop-rolling act entitled "Hoop City." a second edition of Harry Krayton's act. John Krhin added a little ginger finger to "Cannon Sock." A second and Taylor closed the vaudeville program in a musical act that was not bad. The second and last act was opened by the chorus, singing "Pekaboo." Then W. J. Jenkins sang the "Hoodoo Man," assisted by chorus. After a little more comedy, which the patrons did not seem to understand, the show ended by John Larkins singing "Dolly Brown," with chorus. In the company are Julia James, Anna Bordenave, Alice Alix, Etta Gossie, Esie Williams, Ada Mickey, Fannie Edwards, Haraz Carling and Marjorie Sipp. "Bandanna Land" Closet This Week in Brooklyn.

Boston, May 19.—An appreciative audience heard a very creditable resolution of Faust by the Theodore Drury Opera Company last Tuesday evening, in Jordan Hall of the New England Conservatory of Music. Five acts were presented with an intelligence of interpretation that leaves no room, for doubt as to the dramatic possibilities of the race in the staging, while not elaborate, was appropriate. The costumes were beautiful. However, the highest praise comes from the members of the Boston Operatic Society present, who declared that the effort of the Drury Opera Company compared favorably with any of the amateur singers of the dirigible of Theodore Drury the choral numbers, quartettes and duets were all intelligently sung. Mr. T. Walcott Swan, the promising young Boston singer, in the leading role of Faust, was very good, his solos being sung with inimitable grace and tenderness. The character of Marguerite could be perceived the sweetly womanly qualities of the heroine, and with the exception of a little nervousness, she portrayed the character very fairly. Several of her songs brought forth great applause. Mr. Edward Rolls as Antonine was the most dramatic ability and his tragic death scene was most realistic. Mr. W. H. Richardson's conception of Mephistopheles was true to the character. The impersonation was most forceful and his sterling abilities as operatic heroine were effective. Mrs. L. G. Wilson as Martha, Mrs. Lillian Lewis Noble as Siebel and Mr. W. H. Hamilton as Wagner sung their parts very creditably. Harry Burleigh Sings at Home of His Birth. ERIE, Pa. May 19—Harry T. Burleigh made his annual appearance in his home on the campus at St. Paul's Parish House, and tended to the pupil he was very enthusiastic. The Erie Dispatch had the following to say regarding his appearance: to say regarding his appearance: "The eminent New York harbite, Harry T. Burleigh, was greeted last evening by a large and appreciative audience which gave the artist most positive assurance that the old time adage which says that a prophet is without glory in his own country, is not an unfailing rule. St. Paul's parish house was filled with Erie's music manifold and charmingly beautiful arranged and charmingly rendered program simply captivated his hearers. He has a voice of pleasing range, sometimes assuming a tenor quality, and again a full, rich harbite. He gave five groups of songs, all of which were enthusiastically received. The plantation songs were rendered with that delightful melody which always reaches the hearts of his hearers. In response to an encore, St. Burleigh gave 'Old Black Joe.' "The closing group of scenes were magic particularly interesting by a short description. It was Mr. Burleigh's pleasure to have been present when the gifted author, Mr. Darnach, wrote "The Deserted Plantation." Damrosch wrote the score and seems to have found an absolutely correct setting for the melodious, half-weird story, which Mr. Burleigh interprets with such delightful accuracy that one sees with the poet the deserted plantation. The author, 'Mandalay,' was given with excellent voice and dramatic power, which elicited long continued applause." Miaa Jeanie Muse Star of Recent Concert at New Haven. NEW HAVEN, May 20—The third annual concert of the Colridge-Taylor Choral Union took place last Tuesday RLEIGH ba, Mrs. Lewis Harcourt, wife of Commissioner of Works, from Mrs. Hamilton, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan; Lady Evans, of Hempstead, Eng.; Lady Cromer, Mrs. Edward Jaffray, Arthur Shipman, Cambridge University, and Mrs. Bradley Martin, Mr. Burleigh hopes to return in time to assume his positions in the fall at St. George's Church and Temple Emmanuel. evening at Warner Hall. It was a great success. One of the features of the concert was the ensemble singing, the mixed voices blending harmoniously and bringing out some stirring chorus effects; under the baton of Pro.: William E. Haasche, of THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1908 Boston Amateur Sing Fount. Yale. The beautiful quality of tents brought out by the chorus is due to the work of Prof. Haache. Among the choral pieces sung were several plantation melodies. "Steal Away" was perhaps most effectively rendered. The other choral numbers were: "The Dance" by Oyston; "O for the Winds of Winter" by Deloschin; "Jack Prost" by Gaul; "The Boy and the Bee," by Caldicott, all of which were received with unbounded applause. Miss Jessie Muse, the daughter of Mr. and R. M. H. Muse, made her debut as a solist and she captivated the audience with her voice, which possessed sweetness, range and volume. Miss Muse sang the "Flower Song" by Gounod; the "Flower Girl" by Bevignaud; and the "Love in Springtime," by Arditi. She has a natural trill—a trill that electrified the house and we predict that in the future she will delight New England audiences. Her singing was not only a surprise but a revelation to the people. Miss Muse received maly bouquets, and was enriched at every number. Miss Muse Adam will come in for praise. She will recite the invitations "In the Morning," by Dunbar: "The Courtin'," by James Russell Lowell, and "The Party," by Dunbar. She also received encores and beautiful flowers. No concert has so strongly emphasized the social life of this city for a decade as the one last Tuesday. Mr. R. H. Muse has the highest commendation of all in the part he took in facilitating and making the audience feel comfortable. Prof. Hacec expressed himself as more than pleased with the splendid work of the singers. Others who contributed to the success of the affair were: Miss Victoria J. L. Browne of Chatham Fowler; Miss Rachel Ferguson and Miss Fannie Perkins, of Brooklyn. Musical and Literary Notes from Washington WASHINGTON, D.

MONSTER MASS MEETING Next Tuesday Evening, May 26th COOPER UNION where Abraham Lincoln, 48 years ago threw down the gauntlet to the slave-owners of the South and sounded the battle=cry of Freedom! THIS Mass Meeting, held under the auspices of the leading Colored clergy of New York, has been called for the purpose of giving the Colored voters of this great city an opportunity to reaffirm their allegiance to the principles of the great Republican Party---the party of Abraham Lincoln, the Colored man's idol---and to pledge their enthusiastic support to its coming standard bearer, the HON. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT PROMINENT MEN WILL MAKE SPEECHES, INCLUDING RT. REV. WM. B. DERRICK, D.D., L.L.D. BISHOP H. B. PARKS, D.D., of the A. M. E. Church EX-GOVERNOR P. B. S. PINCHBACK, of Louisiana and Leading Clergymen of this City Bring Along Your Wives and Friends Doors open at 7 o'clock sharp Music by the Famous New Amsterdam Band AFFAIRS AT ABYSSINA Replying to the article of denial in last Thursday's issue of The New York Amz. I emphatically avow that Evangelist Witcher, on several occasions, denounced educated ministers and institutions of learning. He did announce himself as temporary pastor of Abysinia. About three Friday nights ago he also attacked the Y. M. C. A. which is located in West 53d street. He declared that the institution was not a Christian one because its officers allowed members to participate in games within the precincts of its walls. If I were not accused of writing the article that appeared on the 7th instant. I would have allowed the first part of the article appearing in the issue of the 14th instant to go unnoticed. The published statements of Mr. C. T. Witcher were made from the pulpit of the Abysinian Baptist Church from time to time, and to say that he did not denounce educated ministers and institutions of learning would be a deliberate falsehood. This young evangelist, as he terms himself, even directed his attack, in an indirect way on a certain Friday night, to the Rev. Charles S. Morris, ex-pastor of the church, when the Rev. Dr. Jordan, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, who was present, replied by saying: "It is not right to trample a man that is down." That Mr. Wiltcher's preaching was most welcome to the majority of Abyssinian's congregation remains to be proven. If my work is confined to the Children's Church (which work is a sacred one and which I love) and if this work is a part of Abyssinian Baptist Church, and for which I receive a regular monthly salary, pray, will these gentlemen tell me the relationship I sustain in connection with the church? What did church call upon me on several occasions, for the past four years, to receive into its membership candidates? Why have they allowed me to administer the rites of the institution, if I were not the associate pastor? If the position of associate pastor is vacant, this shows that it must have been filled at some previous time, by some one, and if so, by whom, pray? Who represented the church at the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Brooklyn, during the ordination of theKeys, Richard A. Rorster and Timothy White, at 2 p.m., on May 29, 1907? Referring to my action in leaving the church on May 3 as being unwarranted, is nonexistent. My propriety of decency coupled with my past training actuated me to leave the church, instead of remaining which might have caused a commotion in the house of God. The attack made on me in public print by Meurs, O'Hagan and Waller is, therefore, a vague one. Thanking you for space, I am, WILLIAM S. HOLDER. P. S.—On Easter Sunday night Deacon Irby announced that as Mr. Wiltcher had preached his final sermon, he wanted the church to give the preacher a good aftercollection. This collection was lifted by Meurs, O'Hagan and Irby. Why is it then that this evangelist's services terminated on Sunday, May 10, instead of on Easter Sunday night? Union Baptist Church. The services at the Union Baptist Church this week were instructive and interesting as usual. On Tuesday evening Mr. Prince Hammond rendered an interesting program the Twelve Tribes of Israel. On Wednesday evening the Singing Class met and reheated. On Thursday evening Miss Williams rendered a short program to the Gregory W. Hayer Literary Center. On Sunday, at 11 noon, Rev. Boddie, of New Rochelle, preached a soul-stirring sermon on "Wherever Your Treasure is There Your Heart is Also." The attendance was excellent. Dr. Boddie is an able Gospel preacher. We are proud of him in our State. He is sound in the doctrine of the Bible. At the afternoon service Rev. E. N. McMandles, pastor of the Fountain Baptist Church, Summit, N. J., used for his text, "Ye must be born again." He preached a strong sermon and all who were present enjoyed the message. The B. P. Y. P. U. not at the usual hour, the Junior Society had charge. Miss Morgan is president. At 7:30 p. m. the Southern Beneficial League turned out in full for their annual sermon. This league consists of Southern men by birth or parentage. The financial statement showed that this society had $1,200 in the bank. The doctor preached a strong sermon on "Perservance." There was a great deal of spiritual enthusiasm. We also had the pleasure of having with us Miss Rosalea M. Jonas and a friend who are great friends of our race. Collection for the day amounted to $223.20. Sunday morning at St. Paul Baptist Church the pastor turned the service over to the members, who spent the time in n, Rally to the MONS SS M uesday Even AT OOPER from Lincoln; 48 years a of the South and sou meeting, held under the ausp seen called for the purpose o ity to reaffirm their allegianc of Abraham Lincoln, the Col coming standard bearer, th VILLIAM ply to the Repu MONSTER MEN Day Evening AT PER U 48 years ago threw outh and sounded the under the auspices of the er the purpose of giving the m their allegiance to the pr Lincoln, the Colored man's i dard bearer, the AM HOW --- NENT MEN WILL MAKE WM.

After the service, the pastor baptized one candidate. The Sunday school convened with a good attendance. In the evening the pastor delivered a fine sermon and extended the hand of fellowship to five new members. The Lord's Supper was administered to a large number. Brothers Thomas and Cross made remarks which were very interesting. On Tuesday evening the Tribe of Joseph gave an entertainment known as the "Spinster's Convention." It was a fine success. The house was crowded and the audience was well pleased. Those taking part were: Mrs. J. smallwood, president; Miss L. A. Lewis, secretly-treasurer; Mrs. L. R. Jones, Mrs. Viola Thomas, Mrs. Pattie Johnson, Mrs. Emma Green, Mrs. M. H. Thompson, Mrs. Caroline Starka, Mrs. Louisa E. Lewis, Mrs. Mary Athkins, Mrs. Emma Craig, Mrs. H. Christian, Mrs. M. E. Thomas, Mrs. Stella Queen, Miss Mary Shepherd, Miss Irene Athina, Mrs. Francis Quinn, Miss Ida Dabney, Miss E. Booker, Mr. Albert Dancy, Mr. Cornelia Gray and Miss E. E. Brown accompanist. After the concert a fine collation was served in the reception room; which was greatly enjoyed by a large number. The room was beautifully decorated. Albion, N. Y. Notes Services in Allen A. M. E. Church were well attended last Sunday. Rev. Joseph Harper, of Lockport, N. X., delivered two excellent discourses. The Sabbath school was well attended. Mrs. Jennie Wales is still on the sick list. Rev. De Shields is quite busy preparing for Conference. Quarterly meeting will be observed the first Sunday in June. The Rev. Wilson, of Niagara Falls, is expected to preach in the evening.
