THE NEW YORK AGE COMMISSIONERS FROM REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA At Washington Seeking Good Offices of the United States Government They Allege France and Germany Have Been Threatening Encrambments Upon Territory Claimed By Liberians—The Age Representative Given Some Interesting Facts VOL. XXI. No. 36 WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25.—Diplomatic circles have been enlivened this week by the presence of a delegation of envoy from the Republic of Liberia, which arrived here Thursday, after a brief sojourn in New York. The delegation embraces the Hon. Garretton W. Gibson, former president of Liberia; James J. Lawsen, vice president, and Charles B. Dunbar, one of the leading lawyers of the country, who come as the special envoy; Charles R. Branch and T. J. R. Falkner, who are acting as retries; and Charles Hall Adams, Boston, a descendant of the famous line of Adamsmen who have had much to with making the history of the German General, who is the American General, representing the interests of the Republic, and be accompanies the party as general adviser as to local conditions. The commissioners have come here to seek the good office of the United States in the settlement of certain boundary disputes with France and Germany. For some time, it is allowed, that these European powers have been threatening encroachments upon territory claimed by the Liberians, and several notice that it did not need the methods of the Nero republic as wholly satisfactory, and a suggestion followed that better order be observed within its borders. As Liberia was largely developed through the influence of the United States and much of its progressive population is of American origin, these ties of fraternity impelled the authorities to look to this country for intervention. The menacing state of the European powers, with their imminent imperative, and because of the actions of the situation the envoys were dispatched hurriedly to this country to lay their grievances before President Roosevelt. The envoys bear letters of introduction to the President and Secretary of State from Rev. Ernest Lyon, United States Minister to Liberia, whose former home was in Baltimore. It is expected that Bishop I, I. S. Secretary Missionary Bishop of I. Africa, has been alone for the last four years and is now attending the General Conference of the M. E. Church at Baltimore, will accompany the delegation on its inimitable arrand. The Delegation at the Arlington. A representative of Turt. Age called on the discretion Sunday, and was most cordially received by the servers in their handbags and spacious suits of paroles at the Arlington, Washington's center of aristocracy and wealth. The presentation was made by Secretary Branch; and the gentleman talked quite freely of the purposes of their visit, of the natural resources of their country, of its educational and industrial status, and of its great commercial and agricultural possibilities. They are a fine-looking group of men and would attract more than passing attention in any crowd. Their general appeal would lead the uninitiated observer, however, to take them to be prosperous and scholarly expounders of the gospel. Route from a general place, where had come them a bishop's toast. Vice-President Donna Talman. Discussing the particular business which brought them to this country. Vice-president Donna, an engaging speaker and of imposing stature—a native-born Liberian, by the way—said, among other things: "We do not come with the expectation that the United States will or can take official action with reference to this boundary issue, with which the French and German governments deal with the United States. The Republic of Liberia is an independent government, and is not under any direct or implied protectorate of this country of yours, yet we feel that to no other nation can we look for the same degree of sympathetic interest as to the United States for she has given us an opportunity to govern, and contributed the ancients of energetic colonists from which there have come, in the form of additional immigrants or descendants of the early settlers, a qualified citizenship numbering not less than 45,000. All that the Commissioners are asking is to use the kindly offices of the United States for Liberia by these aggressions of foreign powers, which would mean its disappearance from the diplomatic equation as a separate nation." "To what interest do you attribute this anxiety on the part of the Europeans to come into possession of Liberian territory? "It is, the general impression," replied Mr. Doosen, "that an awakening has come that the Dark Continent is a land of boundless natural resources, and reports from traders who have made excursions into the interior, pointing out to the capitalists that we have vast fields that can be made arable and produce magnificent crops; that we have mines from which stores of wealth can be obtained, and that our two and a half millions of antiquated natives can be made the basis of an industrial army capable of the underwood resources into international fortune at times, by supplying the markets of the world with every conceivable article of commerce. Europe is making a new market for her money and a new reservoir of production, and we can attribute her measuring attitude to no other cause than that they covet this African El Dorado of own. Munson Commercial as Well as Bi-polarity. We, you, have become conscious of the value of the jewel we have in our hands, and do not purpose to be it after through our fingers. While the mission which brings us to this country is primarily a diplomatic site, it also has a commercial bearing. Recently it is important from the political phase of our labor here in our instructions to bring to the attention of the short American capitalism the precious return likely to prove out of Indian investments in India. and the systematic exploitation of our practically inexhaustible timber, rubber, coffee, and mineral resources, and the successful innovations that can be made in cotton and other profitable agricultural yields that will follow the development of those immediately at the end. Liberius in the natural field for the hand. Liberius in the natural field for the hand. and this rich country offers a veritable gold mine to your enterprising captains of commerce who are wise enough to take the tide at its flood." Howework Toward Industrial Education. "Have you any colored manufacturing establishments or skilled industrial workers in your Republic?" THE AGE man asked. "Well, we have not as yet any manufacturers among our people." responded Mr. Bentley, however, with smitten wrinkle his hair, and call them 'colored people.' The designation in which we take the greatest pride is 'Nero,' with a capital 'N.' Our workers are chiefly engaged in agriculture—in the cultivation of coffee—but they are susceptible of the most advanced industrial training, and it is our hope that in the future future aggressive steps will be taken to establish schools for the education of our younger people, modelled after, your own Tuskegee Institute." "I presume the Liberians have heard much of Tuskegee and Dr. Booker T. Washington," Turt Agr. man suggested. "Oh, yes," replied Mr. Dasson. "We threaten store by the Negro papers of this country and they are full of the work and teachings of Dr. Washington. We have been particularly interested in the outcome of the experiments made under his direction in certain agricultural Africa and we would be very input to have him take under consideration a similar line of investigation in Liberia, if such a matter could be arranged. A body of his graduates set us in the various skilled industrial pursuits, backed by sufficient means, teaching the natives all the trades, would work wonders. I am sure in the forewet years. Schools for academic instruction are being developed with gratifying rapidity, but along with the training of the mind, in my interment, come the training of the hand, which specially so in a country where formative education does the people themselves must be helped out from conventions of the most primitive nature. "Mr. Faulkner here is an electrical engineer of experience and it is possible that we may be able to utilize him as an instructor in that very important branch of science in the near future." "Is there any appreciable immigration of American Negroes into Liberia now?" "Yes there is a considerable influx of Negro Americans every year. There is no programa working to stir up anything like an evolution from America, as there was at one time, but there is a steady inflow of people who add materially to the strength of our citizenry. Some have money and take up land immediately and are self-supporting from the west for those who come to college or whatever. Others have been born abroad and can locate themselves satisfactorily, we have a human with funds to relieve their necessities until they can be placed where they may become self-supporting. Desirable immigration from the United States is always welcomed, and such citizens will have no difficulty in receiving the recognition to which their talents and general worth epitheta at the hands of the government." American Negro Envied by the World. "How does the general condition of the Nation of Liberia (careful) to use the power of the United States to help you have medical in the United States?" "The opportunities of the American Nego is compared with those of the African Nego, at this time, are a 100 to 1. replied Mr. Dosson with enthusiasm. "I have had the pleasure of meeting quite a number of your best men and women since we landed on these shores May 16, and have been deeply impressed by the work of the institutions of the country. In business in the schools, in the many churches, in agriculture and the industries, and in political life the American Nego is filling a space that is making him envious the world over—not only by Negroes, but by the whites as well. To the poor white foreigners who come here from the monarchical governments of Europe, the elevation in which the black people live is a population. Compared with what we have to contend with in poverty-streken and underdeveloped Liberia you have every reason to believe that in many respects, is far from ideal. Saturday evening, we were privileged to meet a number of your leading Federal officials. We were charmed with their easy, gracious manners and ready flow of conversation upon the issues that affect the race and nation. The reflection could not be restrained that the future of not people on this continent is seriously imperiled as long as you have such a capable, intelligent and thoroughly loyal leadership as we have found exemplified in the men in office, in official positions, in the ministerial and commandal life. We are delighted with America, and with people and her institutions, and it may safely be said that the American Nego is just really entering upon the civic exaltation that is to be his in the current of the years." Some Historical Parts About Liberia. From the obliging former president Gibson, some instructive information concerning Liberia was gleaned. In the Republic there are 45,000 or more citizens, and almost 250,000 or more soldiers. Instructed with view of encroaching them, upon the body politic, A property qualification is required of voters. Liberia was conquered by Negroes from the United States, beginning as far back as 1822. Several separate colonies were at first formed, but the Negroes were defeated by the Government of Liberia. Difficult to with the neighboring British colony of Liberia Lembo have been frequent, and now the situation has been resolved one AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1908 Arkansas BAPTIST College 1904 Graduates Photo by Keitering by the troubles with France and Germany over the lines separating their possessions. A president is elected every four years. The head of the government at this time is Hon. Arthur Barclay, a man of commanding ability. A well-known figure in the nation, who was formerly a leader of the New York bar, is T. McCants Stewart. Liberia was formally recognized in 1862, when Congress authorised the President to appoint a consul-general to that country. The diplomatic representative has since been raised to Minister. Some very able Negroes have held the position of Governor to Alexander Clark, W. D. McCoy, C. H. J. Taylor, Henry Highland Garnett, J. R. A. Crossland, Eara E. Smith, O. L. W Smith and Ernest Lyon, the present incumbent, of whom the envoy speak in the highest terms. Favorable mention was also made of George W. Ellis, of Kansas, secretary of the American Education Association, taken unto himself a wife, a Liberian lady of intellectual and social attainments. Sunday was a busy day with the delegation. In the morning they attended the 15th Street Presbyterian Church, of which Dr. F. J. Grimke is pastor, and each delivered addresses touching, upon the necessity for missionary work in the country, to outline these conditions by the Ladies' Missionary Society of the church. In the afternoon they visited the commencement exercises of Howard University, and listened to an eloquent baccalaureate sermon. J. A. BOOKER Arkau 1905 Grad by Bishop W. F. McDowell of Chicago. Between the services and in the evening they were at home to callers, and many prominent persons of both races paid their respects and expressed wishes that their mission might result as they desired. On Tuesday evening the delegation was tendered an elaborate banquet by the principal Federal officials residing here. The hosts were Messrs. Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor of the Navy Department; W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury; W. T. C. Daney, Responder of Heads for the District of Columbia; Robert T. Terrell, Judge of the Municipal Court of the District; James A. Cobb, Assistant District Attorney; and Whitfield McKinlay, a representative of former President L. B. W. Gelson, Vice president Desson, Messrs. C. R. Dumbar, the envoys; secretaries T. J. R. Faulkner and C. R. Branch; Consult Charles H. Adams and Bishop L. B. Scott, who came over from the distinguished company. Felicitious greetings and witty exchanges of diplomatic courtesies were pleasing features of the dinner, which took place at Gray's cafe, famed throughout the nation for the excellence of its cuisine and the elegance of its accessories, and it was served up to the higher standard set by this experienced caterer. Questioned as to the length of their stay the envoys could not say definitely. They will meet the Secretary of State, and then be presented to President Roosevelt. How long this will take will depend upon circumstances. The envoys were shown special consideration by President Thirkind of Howard University. Springfield Notes The entire day Sunday at the Loring Street Church was given over to the men, who tried in an amiable way to outdo what the women did the previous Sunday. Three services were held during the day, members from the other, two churches of the city taking part in each service. Rev. Bell, the pastor, felt highly gratified at the outcome of the two Sunday achievements. Rev. Mr. Cunningham, Admoner, preached morn- and evening at the Third Church. This is Mr. Cunningham's second visit. Springfield, having been here on the first Sunday of May, He will probably be extended a call to the pastorate of the church. BAPTIST COLLEGE CONFERS DEGREES Arkansas College Ends Twenty-Fourth Year SIXTEEN GET DIPLOMAS Silver Anniversary of School to Be Celebrated Next Year— Alumni Hall—Appeal For Existence and Growth LITTLE ROCK, ARK. May 23. The closing exercises of the Arkansas Baptist College terminated at the capital theater, this city, on Friday morning, May 15. The whole week was a red-letter one with the students, teachers and trustees. The commencement sermon was delivered Sunday, May 10, at First Baptist Church, by Rev. Dr. Samuel W. Bacite, of Kansas City, ARKANSAS nsas BAPTIST Co uates Phota Mo. The baccalaureate sermon was delivered in the college chapel the previous Sunday by President Joseph A. Booker, of the Arkansas Baptist College. The Alumni Association held the most important session in the history of the institution, and is in fact, setting a birth example for like example the New Orleans schools of the country for this association is endeavoring to build a president's mansion to be known as "Alumni Hall" to be erected on the campus, and maintained as a home for the president and family and sense of the lady teachers who may be employed by the institution. The association raised for this purpose more than $200 and has the $100 mark set for another committee to build a building that will work for their pet idea which has been highly commended by the trustees and the public. The annual meeting of the trustees was brought with more than usual interest, for there were 16 graduates to be approved of by the board, three master degrees to confer, final settlement with the teachers for balance due on the year's work, electing teachers for another year, and making arrangements for the college year-end commencement. Dr. E. C. Morris, who is president of the National Baptist Convention is chairman of the Board of Trustees and co-founder of the institution, Dr. J. D. Humphrey, of Brinkley, Arkansas, one of the trustees, delivered the annual sermon to the religious organizations of the college. Dr. J. M. Harris, treasurer of the Board, was elected to take the field as financial agent. The college is now a valuable property, large student body and strong teaching force, but there is a debt of $12,000 hanging over it, and the Board would like to have the entire debt liquidated by next commencements so that at the silver anniversary of the school next year it can be dedicated without let or hindrance to the cause of Negro education. While this is a school belonging to the Church, in the legal and technical sense, it is strictly a race enterprise, and the Board would like to provide for its existence and growth. The Master of Arts degree was conferred upon J. P. Robinson, A. B.; R. M. Cover, A. R., and A. W. Johnson; A. B. former graduates of the school. All three men occupy prominent places in State, school and church work. When the morning of the 15th rolled in with sunshine and flowers and the hour of 10 arrived, the great curtains of the Capital Theater swung up and a large class of 10 graduates was revealed to an anxious and waiting audience. There were four graduates from the commercial department, 11 from the academic department and one from the college (classical) department. The college graduate is the position Moor. He was in the institution, even since he wore knee pants. He pursued with patience and earnestness the longest course in the school, graduating from the same with honor. Meanwhile he had given much attention to athletics; was captain of the baseball team, and for the past two or three years the A. B. C. boys have been "wearing the belt" so far as Arkansas schools were concerned. He will likely go to Harvard or Yale and pursue an advanced commercial course recently adopted by those institutions. President Joseph A. Booker, who has toiled for 21 years to establish and enlarge the school has had to be the pavement designer during the course of his duties. His work is unique and peculiar in some respects, depending as it does almost entirely upon what he has been able to collect from the race in the State. He is hopeful that the giant effort a self- BAFTIST COLLEGE College Keitering help and self-education which the race has put forth in this State under his direction for all these years, may commend his work to some financials stewards in the North, who will come to his rescue for enlargement and perpetuation. He also appeals to the race in the North for small but numerous gifts because of the standing which his institution is giving to the race throughout the country. Conference Delegates Home Again. JERSEY CITY, May 26.—Rev. W. S. Smith on Tuesday night married Mr. Robert J. Howard, son of Dr. G. B. Howard, and Miss Sarah Banks, all of Virginia. Mrs. Spruill entertained Mr. George Cooper and family of Brooklyn last week. Mrs. C. L. McDougal, of Troy, N. Y., visited Mrs. Hooper last week. The members and friends of the Monumental Baptist Church are preparing to celebrate the eighth anniversary of their church and the fifth anniversary of the pastor. Dr. R. R.

Mrs. Florence Hancock, president of Woman Home and Foreign Mission of the New Jersey District, was also present at the Conference in Philadelphia for a few days. A point of interest to a large number of the churches of the New Jersey Conference is that this district has been given to Bishop George Wylie Clinton, A. M. D.

Dorren, Vice President of Liberia, Attend Dr. Booker T. Washington Presents 175 Students With Diplomas At Twenty-Seventh Graduation—Trinity Church, Boston, Oratorical Contest—Robert C. Owens Primes Awarded BENNETH H. EX-GOVERNOR TIMOTHY L. WOODRUFF BOOMED FOR THE VICE-PRESIDENCY TUSKOEK. June 2.—Commencement week at Tuskegee Institute will be long remembered by the graduates, students and members of the faculty. There was in evidence an element of enthusiasm and a spirit of optimism that seemed to contain strength. Many distinguished persons were present from throughout the country and elsewhere to attend the twenty-seventh annual commencement of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. There was the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, United States Collector of Internal Revenue of New York City, who delivered the commencement address. D. Dorren, Vice-president, of Liberia; ex-President G. W. Gibson, of Liberia; Attorney Charles H. Dunhair and Secretary Charles Branch, also of Liberia. Eighty-eight received diplomas from the Normal Department. Eighty-seven received a certificate for the completion of some trade, making a total of 175 diplomas and certificates. Quite a number of students received diplomas and some received two certificates. The 175 papers represent 110 different persons. Many of the seniors received Trade Certificates last year. One graduated from the Nurse Training Department. The work of the hospital has been very large and many young people have attended the nurse training course. The older students this training school were never better than now and each year the reputation of the nurses graduating increases. Class day exercises were held on the lawn in front of Alabama Hall Wednesday night. The Baldwin Memorial formed the center. This was brilliantly lighted with many colored incandescent lights and others were hung in the trees and scattered through the headgear surrounded by the class. The class occupied the base of the memorial. The students and friends covered the lawn. The outdoor effect seemed to inspire the class and the exercises far surpassed those of previous years. The students have paid in cash during the year about $25,000 and in labor over $100,000. The trustees met Wednesday. The local members were all present, also Belton Gilmore of Birmingham, and Rev. Rex of Raleigh. Wis. Many gratifiers of importance were discussed and the meeting adjourned to meet in New York city June 25. The Oratorical Contest. Tuesday night six young men contended for the Trinity Church Boston Oratorical prizes of $25 and $15 each. This is the great night of commencement week and is the time when the two upper classes test their thought in oratory. There were four seniors and two from the A middle class. It seemed to be the universal judgment that six better orations were never delivered by students in Tuskegee chapel. C. W. Hare, W. W. Campbell and Rev. Mr. Granberry, pastor of the Baptist Church of Tuskegee, constituted the Committee of Award. First prize was given William Harris, Leesburg, Fl. of the senior class, on "A plea for theoration of American Forests." Second prize was given Moore Works, Widen, Oklahoma, of the senior class, on "Relation of Agriculture to Racial Development." The committee was so well pleased with the efforts of the four other young EX-GOVERNOR TIMOTHY BOOMED FOR Ex-Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff is being boomed for Vice-President. Friends of the former Lieutenant-Governor of the Empire State started the boom last week and it is now receiving the support of many New York politicians and business men. His friends assert that the ticket should be Taft and Woodruff, and if the latter is named as the secretary's running mate it will be a combination that cannot be beaten. Of the strongest advocates of Governor Woodruff for Vice-President is the Commercial and Industrial League, which eight years ago in Philadelphia urged his nomination as Vice-President. It is the contention of the league that Governor Woodruff can carry the state of New York beyond any doubt that he is also well ought of by the Negro voters throughout the country, and stands especially in good favor with the Negro voters of New York. Governor Woodruff was born in New NT WEEK TEGEE INSTITUTE of New York, and Hon. President of Liberia, Attend DIPLOMAS AWARDED presents 175 Students With Diplomas tion—Trinity Church, Boston, Ora- Owens Prizes Awarded men that each one was given honorable mention. The Phelps Hall Bible Training School occupied Monday night. There were seventy-nine graduates. Five delivered very excellent address. One, Miss Nannie L. Butter, was of special interest. She was excused from regular duties at the school for three months and went upon great plantation in Arkansas to do settlement duties when she arrived and the changes that were wrought in her brief stay greatly moved the large audience. She expects to return to the work and by Fall will have a school house costing nearly $1,000 ready for use. The public conduct of the people under her example and instruction was completely changed. Ex-President of Liberia. The audience was much pleased to see a Negro man who had been President of public and when he was given an opportunity to have an experienced program to speak for a few minutes, he was extended to with very great interest. Ex-President Gibson is about 75 years of age. He gave up the Presidency some years ago that he might devote his life to teaching. He expressed great pleasure with what he saw at Tuskegee. He called it a building plant for building boys and girls into good men and women, and said he wished to see such a building established in his own country. Too much cannot be said in praise of the efforts of the young people who had part in the program. They were listened to with the closest attention and most heartily applauded. The industrial subject was taken up, and familiarity with the subject increased. A thorough and enthusiastic audience showed the favor in which industrial training is now held. The annual address by the Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, of New York, was most happy in every respect. It aroused the greatest enthusiasm on the part of all present, and will be long remembered. Following the annual address, J. J. Dorron, Vice President of the Republic of Liberia, was introduced, and in a brief, spirited address spoke most hopefully of the future of Liberia. In a very few words Dr. Booker T. Washington presented the diplomas and certificates urging upon each one to find a field which she chose and to put forth lady and soul into it. All the prizes of last year were awarded this year, and in addition "The Robert C. Owens prizes," established by Robert C. Owens, a wealthy Negro of Los Angeles, Cal. They consist of five prizes of $10 in gold each; first, to the student who makes the highest record in the middle year; to the student in the best design, including plans, specifications, etc., for a four-room house; to cost not more than $00; to the student who makes the best exhibit in bookkeeping over work common to the university course of the school. With the prize of "Long Syne" and the benediction by Dr. Gibson, of Liberia, a great commencement was brought to a close. L. WOODRUFF FOR THE VICE-PRESIDENCY Haven, Conn., August 4, 1858. He was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire and at Yale University. After graduating from college he supplemented his classical course with a full course at Eastman's Business College, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. He has been president of the Providence Life Society, Life Society of New York, a member of the local firm and interested in a half dozen other commercial and manufacturing enterprises. Since his majority he has been interested in politics and has been a delegate to every State, city and county convention. He has been sent to the national convention of the Republican party for the last 20 years. He record as Lieutenant-Governor and as Park Commissioner, was praiseworthy. Perhaps the dominant feature of Governor Gowff's political accomplishment has been harmony, for he has been a successful harmonizer in Kings county, where he resides, and in New York city and State politics.

Certain Negroes, who have appointed themselves spokesmen for the Negro race, have issued an address declaring that they represent 95 per cent. of the Negro vote of the United States, and in the event that Secretary Taft is nominated for President they will advise the Negro voters to support the Democratic ticket. It is possible that these men, who claim to have the Negro vote in their vest pockets, are not conversant with the history of the Negro as a citizen. We take it that they are not familiar with the history of the two parties regarding their respective stands on the Negro question. We advise them to look into the political history of the Republican and the Democratic party and judge for it what political faith the Negro embraces. We predict that not even 10 per cent. of the Negro vote will support the Democratic ticket if Secretary Taft is nominated. We have always regarded ex-Senator William E. Chandler as one of our staunchest supporters. We have known him to be a most radical Republican. We can remember, when he was so radical that he would almost refuse to shake hands with a Democrat. Now we find him opposing the strongest candidate of the Republican party and cooperating with a few Negroes, not because he is less a Republican, but because he has a grievance against the present administration. We should let the ex-Senator know that we cannot consistently and will not follow him in his opposition to the Republican candidate, and even ex-Senator Chandler does not threaten to bolt. It was only recently that he wrote a letter to his dear good friend, Ben Tillman, the arch, copper-headed enemy of the Negro race. The Negroes, while felting that the dismissal of the soldiers was a most unwise act of the President, will not carry their opposition to Secretary Taft, for he was not responsible. They are determined to fight their battles and settle their differences inside the Republican party. The Democratic party will have to be born again before it will receive support from Negro voters. EX-GOVERNOR WOODRUFF. MENTIONED FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff, of New York, is being favorably mentioned as New York State's choice for Vice-President. His nomination is being urged by men prominent in political and commercial affairs of the Empire State. Taft and Woodruff would be a strong combination. It behooves the Republican party to name a man for the Vice-Presidency who is strong and popular. Ex-Governor Woodruff is one of that class. The party should not nominate a weak man for Vice-President, depending on Secretary Taft to pull him through. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Woodruff is a self-made man, and is a large factor in the political and commercial world, due to his untiring efforts and business integrity. Should he be nominated he would prove a valuable addition to the ticket. --- ENVOYS FROM LIDERIA. A few days ago there came to this country Vice-President J. I. Dossen, former President G. W. Gibson, Honorable Charles B. Dunbar and Mr. Charles Branch, acting as secretary, and Mr. T. J. R. Faulkner. These gentlemen are here representing the Liberian Government on a diplomatic mission. While we are not informed as to the details or object of their visit we think we are pretty safe in stating that the main object is to secure protection, from the United States Government from further encroachment upon Liberian territory on the part of France and England. In a peculiar degree, the Liberian Government has a claim on the United States. We are responsible for the planting of the Liberian government and have nurtured and sustained it in a large degree since it became an independent republic. The United States should do everything within its power to protect Liberia from the European governments and we think that the sending of these envoys to the United States at this time a wise move. We believe farther that President Roosevelt and Secretary Root will do everything in their power to grant the wishes of these envoys. Every Negro who possesses any influence should exert it in the direction of safe- guarding the interests of Liberia and of making the powers in the United States feel that the Liberian interest is the interest of the American Negro. All who have come into contact in a personal way with the Liberian envoys are pleased beyond measure with their deportment. They are cultured, modest, wise and at the same time forceful; they show evidences of having experience in government and in diplomatic proceedings. Every Negro holds up his head a little higher and feels a little prouder after he meets these representatives of our black republic across the water. We, hope, that Liberia will bring herself into closer contact with the people of the United States. If this government is kept in close touch with the condition of Liberia, much can be done to protect and at the same time encourage the black Republic to higher endeavor and influence. THE COOPER UNION MASS MEETING: THE Age predicted long before the nomination of Secretary Taft for President was assured that the colored voters would support the Republican ticket next November regardless of the candidate nominated. That such will be the true state of affairs was clearly defined last week at the mass meeting at Cooper Union over which Bishop William B. Derrick presided. It was an enthusiastic one. The few who attended expecting to hear either the speakers or those in the audience declare for the principles of Democracy were sadly disappointed. "Stick to the ship that has carried you so safely over." was the unanimous opinion. During the meeting the audience at various times made known that they would never vote for a Democrat for President in no uncertain terms. There was no doubt left as to what will be the course pursued by the colored voters of New York City when the day of election comes around. It is true that the colored voters have been divided as to the selection of a Presidential nominee. It is perfectly natural that they should be. It is not to be expected that all are of one mind. The white Republicans also differ until nominations are made. But after the big Republican convention is held we are sure that the colored Republicans will get together the same as white Republicans and work for Secretary Taft with as much vigor and enthusiasm as they supported President Roosevelt four years ago. A SAD STORY OF NEWSPAPER NOTORIETY. It is interesting to note how some of our so-called leaders try to play politics. One of the latest cases on record is that of Dr. S. L. Corrothers, who seems to have reached rock bottom in his attempt to secure newspaper motivory. As the papers would not print his views, not thinking they were worth while, he paid to get into the Washington newspapers, as the following article, marked "Adv." Criticise the President. President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft, and Federal officeholders were scored by D. S. L. Corrothers, of this city, at a public meeting, field, at Zion Church, Sixth street, between L. and M. streets, northwest, last night. Rev. Corrothers said if the President allows Booker T. Washington, Bishop Derrick, and a few other money-seeking Negroes, to make him believe that they can swing the Negro voters in line for his man Taft, he will be salely disappointed. There are 90,000 Negroes that will not vote for Taft—Adv. ALL PRAISE TO GEORGIA. The Republican party in the State of Georgia deserves great credit for getting together. It is almost the only Southern State that did not send up a contest to the Chicago Convention. There were many signs of division and bickering in Georgia before the convention, but when the Republicans met they throw aside their personal differences and united upon a solid delegation and upon a common policy. This is what every Southern State should have done. HEFLIN TO SECOND BRYANS NOMINATION Telegraphic advises state that Congressman Helfin, of Alabama, will second the nomination of William Jennings Bryan at the Denver Convention. Of course we all know who Helfin is. It was not so long ago that he distinguished himself by shooting a colored man and a white man in Washington, D.C. He is now under indictment for shooting the colored man, and it is said he paid the white man a large sum to stop any prosecution. And yet with such "fire-caters" in charge of the Democratic party some of our colored men advocate that the colored voters support Bryan at the Presidential election. The Hon. T. Thomas Fortune, who is a member of the Taft Club, was present at the enthusiastic meeting held in honor of Secretary Taft and occupied a seat on the platform. As a piece of news we publish in this issue an article signed by some of our friends in Louisiana, giving their version of the Republican faction contest ip that State. We are glad to learn that the Williams faction has at last recognized their colored contingent. Ninety-nine per cent. of the Negro vote will be cast for the Republican nominee, whether he be Taft, Romney, Fairbanks, Cannon, Forbear or Knoz. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1908. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. They are not the most serviceable champions of a cause who fall out with honorable opponents. With the nomination of Secretary Taft assured the great work of making the platform is now in order. The "girly-girl" can give her mannish glitter cards and spades in the matrimonial game and heat her out. In quality and quantity the Negro delegates to the Chicago convention will compare favorably with any previous delegation attending a Republican national convention. The status of Napoleon Bonaparte Marshall on the administration bandwagon seems to be disquiet. Did he climb on, or was he pushed?

If the "Jim Crow" car laws of the individual States have no bearing on later decisions, we need a good idea to give the Supreme Court of the United States a chance to say no?

Come, my colored brother, would better get in line. Long Branch (N. J.) Echo. Mr Taft is getting the votes regardless of what we may think of it. It looks like a grip on the first place that will be very difficult to loosen—Indianapolis Freeman. Secretary Taft now has sufficient votes to guarantee his nomination on the first ballot. He gates, and peace and harmony reign once more—Topka Plainhead. The party is fast approaching the convention. Many of the contesting delegations are beginning to make compromises and run it in the old regular line, that is, in the Republican Party. We are glad to see the party becoming more united for a great and successful work in the convention of Chicago, Birmingham Reporter. Mr. Taft, though a war secretary, has shown himself a great success as a peacemaker in calming the ruffled feelings of the over-affectionate States of the Indians.

After the convention the sorrow of the defeated candidates and their friends will soon heal and everybody will prepare for election. The next day another great victory. Negro party man will remain outside the breastworks Savannah Tribune. The nomination of Secretary Taft next month in the first ballot is a foregone conclusion and an assumed thing. It seems now that none of the antis will allow their names to be presented to the convention while it is rumored that Senator Foraker has formed an alliance with Secretary Taft and the Democratic business a rest until the political clouds roll by next December. Charleston (S.C.) Southern Reporter. Senator Foraker has always been a shrewd politician. The difference between him and some of his cohorted admirers is that they are not. The Senator's recent move to restore these men to the army, places the plenum orators and editorial Bombastes Purposes in a somewhat peculiar position. The Senator is a better Republican than the average man, and he does appear to be in such a hurry to destroy his party as they are—Yonkers (N. Y.), Standard. From the present indicative Secretary Taft will be nominated on the first ballot. This estimate is based upon the number of delegates already pledged and the leaning toward Secretary Taft of the unpopular party. The things have happened in former times to make do as to the outcome possible until the ballots are counted. But the indications lead to the conclusion above.

The advocacy of some to support the Democratic party or to sit with the Democratic party, or to be elected is crossing the bridge before it is reached. Idle talk, and resolutions too hastily made may be side-tracked before the Chicago convention is held. In this case the leaders will be cared for and will have to catch on as best they can.—Owensboro (Ky.) Reporter. There is sure to be much disappointment on account of the postponement of the settlement of the Brownsville affair. The time right, was very much surprised, the time right, was very much surprised. There was no possibility of Mr. Foraker's bill passing at this session. To have forced it to a vote would have resulted in its defeat, the embarrassment of the administration and the retirement to the presidency of Mr. Foraker. The black battalion would have been no nearer reinstatement, and no one would have been benefited. That being the case, there can be no doubt of the wisdom of the course pursued by Mr. Foraker, whose object is to restore to the soldiers of the army the honor and privilege. A drawn battle is always preferable to defeat.—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. During the past week we have witnessed a number of changes of the political scenery, which it seems would tend to somewhat embarrass many Negro politicians as with regards to their place in the political arena. We have seen the giving up of all hopes of a vote on the Brownies affair until next December. The overwhelming endorsement of the Secretary for the next nonparty for President Obama on the part of some who herefore were putting up a strong fight against Taft, and the general scramble to get on the "band wagon" on the part of others who were putting up a strong fight against them, they never go on to battle for the success of the G.

THE ACE is in receipt of a letter from the understudied, which gives their side of the political situation in Louisiana. The letter: To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: Dear SIR: We noticed in your issue of May 14, 1908, as correspondence from New Orleans, clippings from daily papers of this city. The clippings were the references of those papers to the speeches of Mr. H. N. Plarr, who recently occupied the Senate as a Republican candidate for Governor of Louisiana. We would not make any attempt to deny what was attributed to Mr. Pharr; and we desire to inform you and the readers of your valuable paper through those others authorize us unreservedly condemn those utterances in the preempted Republicanism of the man who made them. But feeling confident that your paper intends no injustice to the colored man connected with the Republican party of Louisiana (which is favorable to the nomination of Secretary of the administration of President Rose celt), and having been misrepresented for the purpose of inviting capture at the hands of those who are unalterably opposed to both, we therefore desire to present the facts appertaining to that convention, hold here Ma. H. 100S, his virtual dismissal of Mr. H. N. Pharr and his unrepublican vagaries. It is true that when the Republican State Convention met in the city of New Orleans on one morning of the 11th, Mr. Pharr and his little coterie of supporters, Mr. Pharr and his little coterie of supporters, because of this intermittent reproduction in the clippings you published, was soon made known to him in a manner that he will not soon forget. He made an abortive effort to imitate the convention, and apparently staked his conclusions upon this afforded an excellent opportunity for the convention to show Mr. Pharr by a vote of 402 to 49, how objectionable he and his utterances were to the concession to the Republican of the State which the convention approved. Thus Mr. Pharr was sent out of the party with a small coterie of Lily Whites whose tendencies were thoroughly repugnant to Republican principles. The convention, there was quite a number of delegates after Mr. Pharr had been forced to retire by the vote of the convention, the 402 delegates comprising the convention unanimously elected colored men upon the delegation from the State at large to be held June 14, 1906. The district conventions of the State associated with the State Central Committee under which the State convention was called, in two instances, the first in the State Central Committee and the gate and one colored alternate. Other districts in the State elected colored al- The misrepresentations resorted to by the unscrupulous men whose only hope is predicated upon the ignorance of people in your section, with reference to the actual conditions here, have no doubt that we have been elected as delegates to the Republican National Convention, by the State and District Conventions referred to, and as we are colored men, we make this statement for the benefit of those whose opinions are not so warped and prejudiced, as to have dismantled their judgment, thus qualifying them to pass impartially upon the facts in the case. We are not Lily Whites, neither can we ever be as long as our skins remain tanned and our hair remains crisped; but the condition of the colored people in this State, to say nothing of other parties, is the same. Therefore, we believe it is the duty of colored men in this State who possess one grain of common sense, to cultivate the political association within the ranks of the party here, without surrendering any unhollow right of that class of white men. We are not the State renders them indispensable to the State's commercial and material progress; the only prerequisite being that they accept and stand squarely upon the announced principles of the National Republican party. This we are attempting to achieve, but we can and we believe will, afford a greater measure of protection to the colored people generally, for obvious reasons, than the camp following element of the same race, which has proved with the colored people the credibility of the colored people in this State in many instances heretofore. Those colored men here who are systematically engaged in the effort to thwart, through the columns of your paper, and those of other colored papers, have been the most promising beneficent returns of a tangible nature to the political and material welfare of the colored people of this State, without depriving them of a single political right, have but one object in view, and have been the most effective to dethrone them from an assumed leadership, where they have answered the purposes of the Democratic party, and utilized the ignorance of the Negro misses to the detriment of the race in the country, and are now building hopes for the success of its continuance upon the expected assistance of outside influence to maintain that despicable position which has brought condemnation upon the head of the race of the race. In conclusion we state that these self-constructed leaders have used every means known to them to procure admission, as leaders, to the ranks of the Republican party of this State, with which we are associated and which they now evidently endeavor to abolate. Their rejection as leaders left but one alternative from their standpoint, and that was the course to which they have had to move. They have your paper and others with the purpose of constituent in their behalf among the colored people of the North, and prejudicing the latter against that class of colored men here, who have been selected as members of the Republican National Convention of June 16, 1885, by the Republican party here, which they have attempted to discredit. Thanking you for advance for any standout and your contributions in the columns of your journal, we are The Real Truth About Mt. Olivet Church—A Reply to X. W. Jackson and His Committee. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: In last week's AGE, there appeared "Just Another Word Regarding the Affairs of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church" by Nexonpom W. Jackson and Committee, persons who have been reminded from membership in Mt. Olivet Church. As usual the statements of Mr. Jackson and his committee are as honeycomb with falsehoods and misrepresentations that it becomes our duty to state the facts to an indignant public, whose belated sympathy Nexonpom and his associates are seeking. These parties are now feeling the censure and condemnation of the public, and they feel constrained to resort to their usual persuasion of Dr. Gilbert and discuss themselves the truth. Order to silence which they so richly deserve, and in order to collect more money from the poor, thoughtless people whom they have misled to pay their lawyers' fees. It is true that the "church has ordered the enrollment of all the students to vote in the largest business meeting held in Mr. Oliver Church since Dr. Gilbert entered on its pastorate. The same body by unanimous vote directed the Committee on Enrollment to refuse enrollment to all the students to continue the strife that once existed in the church and who are not in harmony with its present administration. The church is roused to the necessity of adopting measures to prevent an early recurrence of the race and mob rule which disgraced the race and brought the church into disrepute. The parties who would be adversely affected by this order would hardly number more than 50 or 60 disorderly persons, 2,500 is worth more to the Mt. Olivet Church than the continuance in its membership of a few lawless and disorderly people whose chief delight is to persecute them, and 2,500 is worth more to those who have never been able to allure anything to the detriment of his moral character and fitness, for religious leadership. The good order of a church is worth more to it than the money that comes to form for its maintenance and delight in transforming our business meetings into a veritable pandemonium. The Mt. Olivet Baptist Church has exasperated in his mission way as its belief in its faith is held. The church is perfetely satisfied with Dr. Gilbert, the memorial he lived him, and they love him more for the kind of empathy he has may inspire, a church offer no determination to that the pastor of the church, he is faithful to God and the souls of the flood shall be protected from the heartless and cruel men and women who so unjustly and causelessly fought him simply because they discovered that the cause when they discovered that the cause their discredited leader was doomed to defeat. Mr. Olivet Church still receives men in his fellowships who are on the path and on a confession of that faith in baptism, but we are also observing that scriptural infunction that orders us to withdraw from every brother that walked in the path of that Xenophon and his committee have never heard of this passage of scripture. We are determined that those who claim fellowship with us shall also covenant to walk peacefully with us; but this, despite the fact that we are a people, who cannot abide by either impartial advice or the rule of the majority. Mr. Jackson and his committee complain about members of being "turned out to be the wrong people" in title imaginations of Jackson and his associates it does not take many to constitute a "great drove." To the minds of these men the one hundred votes which they cast, constitute polled, constitute the majority in a church with about 3,000 members! Jackson and his committee forgot to state in Titit Adze how certain of his followers attempted to break up proaching services, how they fought and digressed the church "in droves," how they broke up the business meetings "in droves." They were ordered partly being expelled "in droves." Jackson and his committee refused to let the people know that the church could have expelled most of them even if they were so offended, or if their fitness—offences committed before the church itself. They refused to tell about the insubordination of these expelled members, who refused to even meet the church. They refused to even after they were summoned twice or three to appear to defend themselves. This insubordination was due to reckless leaders who advised them to pursue such a course, and who refused to expel them was expelled on more suspicion, but every man and woman expelled was excommunicated on charges against which they made no attempt to defend themselves. The bad leadership that they have chosen! The next son has been dismissed from the church as alleged by Mr. Jackson and his wife, who were elected to serve the church in his place. But Dr. Gilbert was in no way involved in this. He did not request nor suggest him to serve the church why perplex him for what others did? Even Madame Scott resigned the position of organist of her own free will and accord. Dr. Gilbert was in no way responsible for her resignation, and he had to deal with the feet. Then why should Jackson and his committee seek to persecute Dr. Gilbert for this resignation? Jackson and his committee need not fear about the future of Mt. Olivet Church; the people, still dock to the church, they still support the church, every new member is joining the church every week to take care of vacated by the fighters who are put out. Let Xenophon and his associates cease to imagine that the masses will likely fare as the fighters have fared. The masses are all right, and they have no occasion to other churches. The fighters about a hundred at the most need go. Jackson and his committee gloat over the fact that the Judge in one instance decided against the contention of our attorneys, but the issue was not a material one. The judge simply ceded that these parties had aiding in the court as members of a corporation in view of the fact that they could not bring their action through the trustees since all the trustees save one was opposed to them. That is all there is to it, and has given comfort to the miserable leaders of a cause that is doomed to defeat. Jackson and his associates forgot to state that thrice they were defeated in two different courts in their wicked efforts to win the case, with temporary injunctions. They forgot to tell that they were turned down in another court in seeking relief from our sentence of expulsion from the church, in what direction the wind is blowing? Jackson and his associates declare their intention to continue their contention in the courts, and we are determined to continue their contention to the tribunals. The Mt. Olivet Jurchist church was forced to enter the courts by Jackson and his followers and for the sake of the priests involved to follow them to the tribunals, he never submit to the rule of a disorderly crowd of men and women and a more handful of them at that. And after the long drawn out contest in the courts the court held on behalf will assist his committee gain? For if they should win in the court of last resort, which is a thing incomprehensible, then it is a thing necessitates the church election being accessible the event there is not the slightest doubt in our minds as to whom Mt. Olivet will elect. Let Jackson and his committee decide that majority rule shall trumphe if the church is baptists the world over. And as for Dr. Gilbert, he should ever be grateful to Jackson and his followers who have succeeded in raising up a number of supporters for a societal cause in increasing the number and loyalty as the days pass by. In conclusion permit us to say, that the best justification known for the course pursued by Mt. Olivet Baptist Church is the fact that since Mr. Jackson and his committee have been excommunicated from the church, together with their followers, the church has been ejoying peace unprecedented.

CHICAGO, June 2—Race prejudices manifested itself in a peculiarly embarrassing way a few days ago in Chicago. It appears that a young Fillipino medical student who had been in attendance at one of our large medical colleges for some time found itself embarrassed as a result of his own success. He was the possessor of a brilliant mind and easily passed from one degree of success to another in all of his classes. He finally won in a competitive examination for the position of interne in one of the big hospitals here. Just when this dark-faced young man of the Orient was feeling happily conscious and proud of his success, his feelings met with a rude shock. In spite of his being a beneficiary of our "benvolent rogue" right of award as interne, he was rudely and unblushingly informed that he could not enter, because he was so dark he might be taken for an American Negro, and so become obnoxious to some possible patient from Mississippi or South Carolina, hospital official who insulted the young man. The Philippine islands "refused to see Othello's visage in his mind" and so turned him down and out on the very shores from which he hame to learn the largest lessons of citizenship equality. If you, dear readers, have any heart left to comment this peculiar manifestation of justice and fair play, you are welcome to do so. The most interesting and important event of the week outside of politics was the annual meeting of the Frederick lighthouse Centre Association at the home of the late Sir John May 26. The assembly room was filled with men and women of both races and representing all walks of life from the humble waiter to the Judge of the Appellate Court. Working women, and men in the military and literary life of Chicago mingles freely and lessly together while listening to the many interesting reports from the heads of the various sections of activity. It was in many respects a remarkable gathering and fairly prophetic of the time when women should not be afarid or ashamed of each other or circumstances of complexion and circumstances. The study classes, sewing and singing classes, gymnasium, employment assays, the fine courses and chairmanship of the different classes, showing much progress in their effort to realize the central idea for which the Centre stands: "To promote a more just and amicable relation between the white and colored people. Those who were in at least this annual meeting could not fail to realize the uplifting spirit of this purpose. Among the surprises of the annual meeting was that a considerable gift had been made toward the establishment of the high grade gymnasium as part of the equipment of the Frederick Douglas Centre. It was also brought out in connection with the athletic work being done by the young men of the Centre that for the first time had been made a Men's Christian Association of this age a colored man will graduate from the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, having taken the full three years course, making a splen- and finishing his work with high honors and finishing his work with him is Mr. J. E. Garner, an alum of Lincoln, University of Pennsylvania. It was through the influence of the Frederick Douglas Centre that the au-dual of the gymnasium were inducted to run "the awful risk" mitting a colored student to the gymnasium classes. It is pleasant to report that this young colored man passed through the front door as an honor gift to the institution the least bit of disaster either to the institution itself or its Christian reputation. The Frederick Douglass Centre has many strong friends among the best white service have in Chicago. Money and personal service have been needy, and they have spent both themselves and their money feel gratified and rewarded by the progress made in mutual helpfulness. W. Mowoolby by her tactfulness and grace, Spirits have a wonderfully succeeded in steering the criticism that usually follows any attempt at mixing the races. The strong common sense, skilful management of race, a experiment of harmonizing race differences, a experiment of harmonizing race differences, on for three years without any heartaches, out of fear of fear of that bulbear "social equality." CITICHOUGH, May 25.—Everywhere in this city there are unmistakable signs of the approaching Republican Convention. The hotels and the boarding housekeepers, as well as private homes, are polishing up for entertaining the host of politicians and the country he is safeguarded by the nomination and election of some "favorite son." The colored people here are perhaps a little more eager than ever before. The fact that on all sides the Negro voters remained as a sort of a determining force in a killer interest among colored people than at any previous convention. The Colored Men's Taft League are receiving numerous letters every day from delegates, asking that arrangement be made for their accommodation. Delegates from New York Arkansas, South Carolina and other places who have applied for accommodations have, in every instance had suitable quarters secured for them. Unableable Mr. Walter Cohen, of New Orleans, made his breakfast pre-convention business. It is easy to mistise that he is still making war on the "ily whites" of Louisiana, and it is safe to conclude that that miserable species of hybrid Republicans will not be permitted to headway in their anti-Republican schemes, if Mr. Walter Cohen can prevent it. It is perhaps also interesting to note that never before have the colored people in this city been in such good condition that they can accommodate the visiting hosts of political events and years the housing of the best people amongst us has been almost entirely changed. They now live in some of the most exclusive streets of the city and on some of the most attractive side of the city last week. Mr. Jas, cuban, one of the most substantial businessmen in the city, dent and John H. McLermon, Frederick Washington, Thomas M. Smith and S. R. Bonar are the other officers. These men are wonderfully enthusiastic in their in- and work for the enlargement of the club. Mr. Edward E. Wilson, one of the best known young lawyers of the city, has been appointed one of the Inheritance Tax Appraisers of the county. The position and is considered a valuable responsibility. One of the interesting and notable occasions during contention week will be the rendition of Coleridge Taylor's "Hiwatha by the Choral Study Club of this" The intent is to be given downtown in the Inner City theatre and promise to be the most artistic musical event that has ever been given in the West by Afro-Americana.

IN VAUDEVILLE It has been a long, long time since Williams and Walker appeared to such advantage in vaudville as this week at the Colonial Theatre, where they made their 1908 debut on the variety stage. There is certainly a great difference between their skit of last season and the present one, yes, a vast difference! When their show closed for the season last year and they were offered some vaudville time they accepted much with alacrity, appearing without much prepa- No matter how big a performer is in the theatrical world, there are certain times when he gets his "humps." Last summer the two noted actors did not make the usual hit in vaudeville. The reception accorded them was not so enthusiastic as in the past, because they were not "delivering the goods." During their limited engagement in the variety houses this summer, they will be one of the big hits in vaudeville. Their experience last summer has not been forgotten, and they have put together a great laughing and mime act. Some performers declare that the patrons of the Colonial Theatre, while appreciative, are "cold." In that they do not aplaud heartily. But if such is true, exception were to be made. William and Walker did their specialty. The comedians were on the stage over thirty minutes. They could have remained much longer and the audience would not have tired of their entertainment. How after they had finished theirs. There is plenty of comedy in the dialogue, and Williams and Walker kept the patrons in laughter from the time they made their initial appearance on the In a comparison of the songs used by them in vaudeville and in their musical comedy, "Handanna Land," it can be said that as a whole the number used is skittish. George Walker this best in "Ron Bon Buddy," which is used to close the act with the dancing finish, participated in by both comedians as in "Handanna Land." George Walker also recites a lyric entitled "thory," which should be a more out of it. There are two results usually sought after by the performer—the artistic and the financial. Usually if a performer asks for financial help, and while it is well and good to talk about art for art's sake, there are many actors who also consider art for money's sake. Williams and Takeo are not only pride in the success they are making in vaudeville from an artistic standpoint, but they feel proud of being able to state they are receiving the largest sum of money for a performer which is also of interest to the readers. An evidence of how quickly the public associates the two successes was shown last night at the Colonial, when the follow-up sequence took place between two young men: First young man: "It is a pity these two fellows are colored. I bet if they were men they would make a barrel of money." Second young man: "Yes; they are certainly clever, but I understand they make a large salary in vaudeville if they are colored." First young man: "Well, I wonder how much they get?" Second young man: "I understand about $3,000 a week." An interested listener: "No; they get $2,000." Both young men in unison: "Gee! First young, man: "That's $1,000 a week apiece, don't think that's discriminatory, account for all the there may be some in the show business who claim that vaudelleville is not any too, kind to colored performers at this time. While this is true in a measure it must be remembered that for no other reason than too profitable to hundreds of white performers, due to hard times and the compromise reached last winter whereby the Keith and Proctor forces agreed to take care of all the Klaw and Erinawae acts, made the supply greater than the demand. It is true that the "little fellow" has been made to suffer on account of lack of work, but from indications the condition of other hand colored performers are getting more money in vaudeville to-day than ever before. Cole and Johnson are receiving a large weekly salary for their work, and they are getting big money for a colored individual vaudeville star. Avery and Hart, and Cooper and Robbins are getting good money, as well as a number of other big stars. When you take into consideration that years ago, Williams and Wilkerson were making money, but $100 a week, there is none who can not readily see that the Negro is rapid, yes, very rapid, atradas in wadxillie. Vanderbilt, Nebraska Cole and Johnson are being featured their tall at the Fifth Avenue Theatre this week. The Brittons are playing at Hammerstein. This is the first week of the roof James J. Martin, of Martin and Brinkley, has recovered from a long spell of sickness and hopes to be able to work before long. Buddie Gillmore, and his picks played at Anbury Park on Decoration Day to a large house. The capes are making good at the Alhambra Theatre this week. The Variety recently compared their act to that of Greene and Werner. Wonder if the critic ever saw Cooper and Robinson's act? He located where the white team secured its ideas. Mme. Dempney is putting on a vaudeville show in Newark this week for the Mark Street. On the bill are Tiny Ray, Grace Hoyt, Mamie Furre, Mme. Dempsey and others. This is the second week of Joe Moore's show in Hubei. A new bill was presented this week in which a number of old favorites are appearing. Allie Gillam and Lillie Jewell are being featured. "Bon Bon Baddies" are laying off this week. Last week at Young a Fler, Atlantic City, the act made a most favorable impression. In the act are Henry Jenkins, John Riggle and Andrew Copeland. S. H. Dudley has gotten together a number of performers who claim they can play ball and will meet the Jersey Baltimore Morris Park, Newark, amid storm. Thursday Bert Williams and Bob Slater met in the office of the Gotham Attacks Music Publishing Company and agreed to put up with the dramatic editor of Turt The Musical, who will be played between the Williams and Walker club and Vaudeville Artists' nine in August. The Williams and Walker Glee Club opened the Shaded Room Monday for a two weeks' engagement. In the club are W. C. Elkins, L. G. Gibus, L. H. Sanibursi, Thoos, Pankey, S'Rex, G. H. Tapley, Frank Williams, Carl Wien, James Thomson, W. Gulliam, J. F. Wittman, A. Housley, J. A. Housley, J. P. Resel and A. S. Payne. Mabel Whitman, of the Whitman Sisters, writes that they are enjoying great success in Washington, D. C. They are playing in the local churches to large crowds at each performance. After playing Washington they will go to a concert in Baltimore. A short time ago the sisters were booked to remain a week in Baltimore. Instead they were in the city three months and almost at each performance played to standing room. Vaudeville Nine Defends W. and W. Team. Last Thursday the colored vaudeville artists defeated the Williams and Walker team in a hotly contested ball game at the Westchester Avenue, by the score of 7 to 6. It required nine full innings to decide the contest, which was for the theatrical championship. It was a long, drawn-out battle, but the time most New Yorkers were eating their evening meal, and when it was almost time for the assistant stage dressing rooms at the different theatres that it was half an hour before the performance would begin. In fact, had the performance begin, the caller had called on account of darkness. The star of the game was Louis Mitchell, who is, by the way, pitcher of the Cole and Johnson team. He did the stab not only pitched a good game, but fielded his position in AI style. Had he been backed up by his teammates at critical moments, he would not only pitched a good game for the Williams and Walker nine. The first three runs secured by the Williams and Walker team were made on errors. Bob Creig did not pitch a bad game, but was not in the best form. He has had support could also have been much better at times when errors meant runs. He struck out five men, while Mitchell made a record of eight strike outs. Turner williams and Walker, in the field for Williams and Walker. Bert Williams distinguished himself in several ways. In the first place he brought with him a bat with a hole in it which caused him to on more than one strike out. When Covey was struck out, then in the last inning he participated in two plays that assisted in making history for the Williams and Walker teams. In the last half he scored two hits and four players at the bat, "Boss," Foster hit the ball near second which should have been Shipps, but the comedian went after the ball, having no one on first to put the bat down. The second player was knocked over first which made the first baseman and his teammates "feel so sick and so forlorn." He saw the ball coming toward him, but it looked like about the size of a marble, hence it was uncaptured and the bases were cleared. Neither team scored in the first inning, but the colored vaudeville artists made two runs in the second on errors and the bases were cleared in the fourth inning, they made one more run. The Williams and Walker team had an excellent chance to score in the fourth inning with men on bases, but Hex fanned three runs in the sixth inning, Elkins scoring the first run. He went, to first on a passed ball, after having struck out. Chapelle hit a hot one to Mitchell, but the ball was on the bag, the ball rolled into the field. Elkins scoring. Chapelle came in on Sam Cook's muff of Rex's hit. Bert Williams then fanned, but Rex scored on Floyd's muff, the ball being thrown down the field. Walker Shop ended the inning by dying to Mitchell. In their half of the inning the vaudeville artists secured two more runs, due to good bat work and base running. Bert Williams and Walker scored two runs, thanks to some nice batting. In the eighth inning they made another run, which made the score stand in the last of the ninth inning to 6 in their favor. But the vaudeville artists in a strong inphil finish made two runs in their half. With one man out Foster was subdued and later tied the score and the winning run was made by William Robinson.

The well-trained chorus is to be supported by one of the best orchestras of the city. No such music can be a colored organization without giving this part of the country as is promised. Mrs. Pittman Accordeed Ovation at White Recital. Mr. White was greeted by a burst of spontaneous applause as he appeared to present the first number on the program, and his succeeding contributions to the brilliant offering were so well received that he was compelled to frequently accolade him. White and his violins were in perfect sympathy in bringing fresh from a successful invocation of the Middle West, Southwest and far Rockies, he was at his best. The audience was agog to see Mrs. Pertia Washington Pittman, who made her debut before a Washington audience, and the brilliant planmate was accorded her initial number on the piano. An honor pupil of Krause, of the famous Berlin conservatories, and of standard instructors of Paris, much was expected of her, and she disappointed. From the moment her deft fingers struck the first chord, the most exacting criticism within the church knew that an artista was at the keys. Mrs. Pittman, a master of coloratura, betoken a mastery of the instrument and a thorough comprehension of the spiritual force of the theme she swayed to portray. She was the personification of grace in coloratura work, and coloratura work were ingestive of fine taste and intelligent discrimination. In Saran's "Etude de Concert" she gave convincing evidence of her power to sound the heights of operatic cessity of. In her finished presentation of 8. Coloridere-Taylor's "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless-Child," she gave an interpretation in her favor. She struck a lofty attitude of conceived execution in the trio with Messrs. White and Jeter, running the gamut of music versatility. Mrs. Pittman magnificent performance more than high anticipations her coming excited. Dr. Booker T. Washington has given her the credit for her so capably grasping the golden chalice and bringing honor to her and to the race she so nobly represents. Mr. H. Leonard Jeter,\ of Newport, Jim down the house," both by his happy THE NEW YORK TIMES selections and by his peculiar mannerisms. He performed with head, hands and feet, and seemed wholly unconscious of the instrument under his command. As an example of the "impressionist" school of musicians, in a Creature, Mr. Jeter stands in Class A. Kathryn Skene Mitchell, the well-known Cleveland prima donna, who has made her name a household word her abouts through her superb work in the music of the 19th century, warmly received and sang herself into the hearts of her host of admirers, Mr. Charles Marshall, baritone of Philadelphia, gave several selections, and the two musicians who accompanied his associates, he was heartily enriched. In presenting this unusually strong demonstration of the long strides the musicians have taken in music and affording our cultural citizens an evening of rare enjoyment, as well as encouraging other "impressionaries" to strive for the heights he has gained. While English music under everlasting obligations to him Miss Mary L. Europe, the painstaking instrumentalist, instructor in the public schools and directoress of Lincoln Temple Choir, provided at the piano, and contributed no small share to the success of the choir, which she also looked after the business arrangements of the revival, is due a large measure of the credit for the handsome balance that accrued to the benefit of the star, Mr. White, who sailed about the middle of this month for Europe, to take part in the annual Christmas Parade under the provisions of the scholarship conferred by Mine, E. Azalia Hackley. A BRILLIANT SUCCESS. Open Saluter's Harlem River Casino, the New masterpiece of Harlem River Music Hall in a blaze of glory on Monday evening, June 1st. There were two orchestras, brass and string, stationed at either end of the hall, and the manumakers were fully five thousand people listening and dancing to their delightful music. The costumes were very becoming, and the Merry Wish was not quite finished, but the house hall is not quite finished, although the floor and the service arrangements seemed to be in good working shape last Monday evening. It does not look old, but the seating capacity and arrangements are more improved. It is of course concrete construction and there is fireproof, and when the horseshoe of love is finished together the music amps up. For this opening, which was heralded far and near, the New Amsterdam department from their usual custom of giving the first piece of the season and being given a class of clans, felt that they should make a brave showing on this the principal announcement event of the season. They felt that they have made good from the size of the gathering and the unstinted applause of the audience, and the members, Professors Minums and Banks looked after the floor and dancers with fine grace and Professors Wise and Austin conducted the orchestra and brass band respectively. In the Job" Riker was at the door extending the glad hand to his host of friends and seemed very happy to see them coming so fast. Since its organization the success of this special institution has been most pleasing. Guided under the direction of W. A. Riker, N. A. M. A. music is in great demand at functions of various kinds throughout the city and State. The parade of the band on the day of the concert was a unique and pleasing feature. A DESERVING APPOINTMENT. : Justice J. H. H. B. Scotland of Newark Receives Appointment as Deputy Court Administrator for the Far East.

Southwick of Newark, to the position of Document Clerk in the office of County Clerk, Hon. John B. Woolaton, of Essex County, N. J.

If he had not been able to perform for personal aggrandizement, he has given of his time, talent and means to foster that end, and the people of both race and culture to be involved in a measure honored by having been true to his ideals and friends. On last Monday afternoon, just before the end of the day, a committee of representative men and friends gathered and presented him with a handsome bouquet of flowers as an answer of good luck and a wish for his success. Mr. Scotland is Republican leader of his county, made so by being elected chairwoman of the county colored chairwoman of the Public Association.

Baltimore's Reformation Home a Fine Work Over-Three Hundred Boys Cared For—Stafford Hotel Walters Put On Airs—Guests Walk Out Insulted BALKINGHAM, Md., June 1.—There is nearly any institution within the borders of this State of more peculiar interest to Afro-Americans than the "House of Reformation," located in Prince George county at Chaltonham station. Here is a most beautiful and attractive site of nearly six hundred acres, covered with a dozen or more expanses, and imposing buildings, the reception room, the dining room and string colored boys. Last Friday was the annual day for inspection of the institution, and the giving of a "good time" to the boys. The Board of Managers, wives, and a number of best friends are of the kind of Britton early in the summer of that day in a special coach for the institution. The day was an ideal one, and the half dozen companies of the boys of that institution, numbering in all about three hundred, presented an ing and cheering apprehension as they toed and to跃 upon the beautiful summer. Following the inspection of the buildings and of the soldier boys, Superintendent Tom Browning took the dinner, and immediately after this was begun that portion of the program filled with "fun" for all, but specially for the children, participants in the same. There were a number of diversions such as tug-of-war, foot race, bulldog fight, three-legged bear, pygmy pig contest, blindfold race, cock fight, sword fight, blinded feeding contest, cake walk, sack races, bag contest, and so on, were awarded to the children in each case. The Rev. Dr. George F. Brague, Jr., and the Hon. Harry S. Cummings, who are the only colored persons members of the Board of Managers, as well as Mr. Julius Johnson, a prominent Owner of this city, were among those present. So marked have been the many and great improvements made to the institution, within and without, since General Shryock was first appointed, some six or seven years ago, that it is almost difficult to recognize it as being the same institution. Everything has been improved in the church, especially due to Gen. Shryock, the president of the Board. The Rev. Mr. Williams, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, was warmly and enthusiastically last Friday evening at a public reception given in the church in his honor. The ladies of the church were equal to the demands of the occasion in which followed in the lecture room. Mrs. Cornelia S. Shryock just donated the stalls of the ladies' choir in St. James Church, the church in the city. Mr. Thuy Stryck, who was a communicant and active worker in that congregation, usually when present in the city, this late Mr. Stryck added to the stalls of the church in the city, with in connection with the choir. The Rev. Dr. Reuben H. Armstrong, a former pastor of Madison Street Church, this city, was in our midst a first annual conference of the A. M. K. Zion Church will assemble in this city, with the Pennsylvania Avenue Church, Rev. Dr. W. A. Blackwell, pastor, on Wednesday, the president of the presiding officer, but a number of other bishops of that connection are expected to be in attendance. Mr. Harry T. Pratt, president of the local league of business men, has been steadily at work entertaining the National League which is to assemble in this city during the coming August. Councilman Cummings has rendered him valuable assistance and the City of Baltimore will give erroneous welcome to the guests and visitors. One day last week a prominent and wealthy white lady of Michigan, a delegate to the state Methodist General Conference, arrived at Stanford Hotel for the serving of a party of ladies at lunchroom as her guests. All went well until the day arrived, and the ladies began to peel. When the ladies arrived all were ordered to the dining room. But the waiters refused to serve the two colored ladies who were among the invited guests. Wherever he was, the ladies clared his inability to force the waiters to serve the colored ladies. And so the hostess immediately called the dinner off. left the hotel with all her friends, and headed to the Deaconess Home, on Madison Avenue, where a lunchroom was served. BOSTON EDUCATIONAL WORK Negro Students Make Excellent Showings—Harvard Graduates Boston, June 2—Boston's greatest contribution, perhaps, in the present generation to the unfit of the Negro race comes from the efforts which are here offered by the University of America," formerly the hottest of abolitions, now expands its energies for the race's enlightenment, through the channels of philanthropy and of professional education. Philanthropy for Negro education, all educators would agree. I suppose, finds its largest and readiest source here.

HOWARD'S BANNER YEAR Brilliant Commencement Season at Howard University. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—Howard University's fortieth year has closed in a blaze of glory. Unprecedented enthusiasm and upparalleled brilliance have marked the exercises of the commencement week, and the report of President Wilbur Patterson Thirkield, submitted to the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees, indicates the attainment of the school's loftiest goal in the matter of attendance, financial prosperity and appreciable results in the making of sturdy men and women. The commencement season began on Friday, the commencement exercises of the School of Theology in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. On Sunday afternoon, the baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Bishop William Fraser McBowell, of Chicago. The occasion was made notable by the presence of three envoys from Liberia and their staff.

Frank Hanley, of Indiana, active in the class, compounding the race upon its marvelous progress since emancipation; pointing out the Negra's advancement in education, acquisition of property, landing the part Howard University had played in the race; and the fact that his hearers to take an active interest in the struggle against the rages of the liquor trade, which is doing more harm to the colord race than any other evil of the times. Referring specially to the possibility of the Negro graduate and the citizen, Governor Hanley said; "When I speak of your progress and of the future of the class and the 3,000 lives which have already had their inspiration, I am not meant to tell you not mean that all the difficulties are overcome. Your responsibility was never greater than at this hour your destiny does not change. You now know how much we seek to deliver you rights under the laws and constitution of this nation or to draw limitations about you, but if you with sobriety, with respect to your responsibilities, up to your opportunities, you and yours will come to and maintain their own. We may sometimes forget; we may be in danger of losing them in the heart of the American people in the love of the square deal; and the man or race who conducts himself or itself with care for the obligations laid on him or others will be able to believe who they believe in justice to all the people. "I conjure you to consecrate yourselves that you may justify the opportunity that has come to you. Waste no time in it; you will be ashamed of yourself for opportunities when they come. No need free for opportunities; they lie about him everywhere. Opportunity has come to you in this institution; but he is not free for you. If you come to measure up to this opportunity, Rev. Walter H. Brooks invoked the blessings of Providence upon the immune assistance, and Commissioner H. D. Thirkfield and the University upon the happy culmination of the best year in its history. The students attended each of the functions announced, and throughout the commencement season the Lyric Orchestra and the chair of the University furnished high-grade music.
