S. Jackson, Inventor. Now in Boston—June Weddings—Boston and Cambridge Elks Hold Successful Carnival and Picnic VOL. XXI. No. 38 HOSTON, June 15—Las: Thursday afternoon June 11, at his splendid home, 528 Columbus avenue, Mr. Joseph Lee, inventor of the bread machine and the proprietor of Squamatum Inn, passed away. After having gained a business reputation second to none for shrewdness, resourcefulness and square dealing, a member of that old and passing school of Negro business men always pointed to be friends of the race as an example of Negro capability, the ability of Negro Lee in the field of professors business when he had hardly passed the prime of life, is a distinct loss to the race. Coming to Boston over thirty years ago he has invented the break-making and the bread-crumbling machines which he daily used to bake biscuit trust. He has been the proprietor of several of the large and far-famed hostories hereabout, such as the Woodlawn Park Hotel in Auburnale and the Fashion and Design and an outing resort for political meetings. At different times in his busy career he has owned and managed a large and busy catering establishment and as an outing resort in Normansea. Park and at the Mechanics' fair. For many years he was treasurer of the St. Mark's Literary and it was larger than the popular expence he inspired that St. Mark's just became the race institution in Boston that it is. At the time of his death he was president of the Bachens, the exclusive organization of Boston's colored Mr. Lee, born in Charleston, South Carolina, would have been sixty years of age on the 4th of July. He was married on May 12, 1921, to Miss Harold, a baltimore teacher, who has ever been his cannest helper, and one of Boston's social leaders. Four children have been the result of the union: Mr. Howard Lee, Harvard 1893; Miss Gesson Lee, St. and maturing school; Miss Teresa Lee, School of Physical Culture, 1894, and at present teacher in the high and manual training schools of Washington, D.C.; and Miss Marka Lee, a graduate this year of Toxton high school. He is survived by numerous children in Boston, New York and Charleston. At the funeral Tuesday afternoon at his late residence his intimate friends thronged the house, heard as best they could, passed in patient review in an unbroken, unending line around his bier and went sorrow-striken away. Rev. Samuel A. Brown, pastor of St. Mark's Conregregational Church, solicited, with Rev. T. W. Henderson, pastor of Charles Street A. M. E. Church, assisting. The Bishops, including Hon. A. H.

In this delegation presenting an elaborate floral offering, were such merchants as Messrs. H. A. Hovey, Rich and Mathews, Mr. R. R. and J. A. Pryor. Besides the immaterial floral testimonials from prominent white and colored citizens, a floral piece significant of the general and sincere exclaim in which he was held was a costly and beautiful token from his Samantha Inq. employees. Rich men and poor men black men and white, all were represented, all knew and respected Joseph Lee as an able man and a true friend. Fannie's director Mr. R. R. F. Huehins was in charge.

There is scarcely a school in the Hull without its quota of bright and promising Negro students and of these a good number are graduating. Hildes and Ganderson seem to be popular and prominent in their class affairs, for example, in the High School graduating classes one is a class president, another was captain of his school football team, winning still another class award, and still another was class president. The first of these high schools to hold exercises was the Cambridge English High School in Sanders, Theater, Harvard University, last Tuesday night.

Warmoth placed their hands affectionately on one another's shoulders yesterday at the Coliseum and recalled the stirring times in the reconstruction period in the 1960s. Some 26 years ago these two men figured in one of the sensational exploits in connection with the Grant SPECIAL DIPLOMATIC DELEGATE From left to right: Hon. Chas. Dunbar, Greely contest. Warmth was Governor of Louisiana—a carpet-bagger in 1872 Pinchback was Lieutenant Governor. They were both in New York to attend a "band dinner," an election bill that would take the election machinery out of the Governor's hands. If it became a law, Warmth would lose control of the State, in all probability. Grant would suffer. Pinchback was the Pinchback man wanted the bill signed. Pinchback, as Lieutenant Governor, could sign them in the absence of the Governor. He shipped out of New York, unknowingly to Warmth, and burgled the law, not what it is now. He was delayed six hours in Pittsburgh and 12 hours in Cincinnati, waiting for a train. Warmth did not learn of his Lieutenant Governor's dish for home until the next day. He then chartered a special bus to visit it. A result finally won for Warmth. When Pinchback's train reached Canton, Miss., a train messenger announced a telegram for him. The Lieutenant Governor, not suspecting the trick, demanded the telegraph, but the messenger had to leave to go to the depot office to get it. Pinchback hurried into the station, and as he stepped inside the door was shunned, shut, and bolted. He re realized what it meant, and dashed for a window. He could not he get up his train as Pinchback arrived on the platform cursing in the most picturesque Southern style. Governor Warmth's special pulled in. "What you old sounded," yelled out Warmth, alighting from his train, "what in h---I are you doing here?" Pinchback looked up and shouted: "What in h---I are you doing here?" am after you," said the Governor. "What am I got me," sorefully said Pinchback. "It was a dead heat from there to the capital," laughed Pinback black yesterday, "the heat nothing," said Warmth. "And heat ended," chuckled Pinback, "the greatest handrail race ever pulled off in the Unit." States. Pinback was afterward Governor of Louisiana, since losing Warmth, and was asked to step down, but never took his seat. The contest lasted for three years and finally Pinback was defeated by 4 to votes. Governor Warmth, who was an Illini, remained in the South after the reconstruction period and is to-day one of the big plantation owners south of New Orleans. Pinback finally drifted to New York and is now here helping to boast Secretary Taft—Chicago Inter-Ocean RACE MEN PRESENT Marked Improvement in Personnel of Negro Delegates "Anti-Talters" Furnish Spectacular Side of Situation CITACO, June 18.—The field of politics has been crowded with dramatic incidents during this week preceding the Republican National Convention. It is said that for since the Blaine-Grant contest of over twenty years ago has so much interest and enthusiasm in pre-convention politics been displayed. On the streets, in hotel corridors, in the vestibule of the Coliseum annex, where the contest cases are being fought out, men of all conditions of life are joining each other, sometimes good naturally and other times with a seriousness that borders on the benignment. It seems as if every name that you can mention among the big men who are asking for history here and is doing something either in harmony with or antagonistic to the many things that are being done. Sometimes long-standing venerans in government authority, jailers and "political EGATION TO THE UNITED STATES FROM Hon. G. W. Gibson, former President of the Rep- present Vice President of the Republic backs" whose car fare has been paid by some ambitious stateman, freely mingle with each other in true democratic fashion. It is a more interesting scene and is well worth a long distance travel, just to be here in a backpack on a journey of mobs and harbours for a standing place in this the greats of Republics. This is one hour when the Afro-American feels the full importance of his importance, talks to formerly about and admires him, makes him a part of and in all things he is competent and equal. There is a position among that society as indeed in that society as in attendance as delegates one of a higher grade than Germany. E. Governor Pinebock, Prof. R. K. Wright, of Georgia, J. E. Bish, of Arkansas, J. M. Mason Vance, of Louisiana Walter Cohen, Lawyer Johnson, of Alabama, and others all declare that there is a marked improvement in the personnel of the present group of attorneys, in the substance of intelligence and character of Lawyers, doctors, bankers, school teachers, business men and college graduates constitute the majority of those who are part in the Assisting grade politics. The spectacular sale of the situation is supplied by the news presence of the anti-Taft continental, of colombia, whom What they back in manners they make up in noise and fistfulness. The news man, the Negro democracy are here and are doing their utmost to be heard for their much speaking" and to render an account of their stewardship to their generous managers in the East. Some of these talk like men seemed to be possessed by a great indignation meeting every hour and if they should accomplish all that they promise there will be but little left for the National Convention to do. They seem to have a little money which they do not claim to have earned by honest toll. They have large men of who have to tomorrow to their career of usefulness. The deep absorbing and traditional sentiment of the American Negro is not thus to be trilled with and charged from home to hour as temporary occasions demanded. The American Negro does not help to the Republican party, but rather to the Negro people in this country. Republican principles and Republican history is the one force or thing in American life that solidifies and holds together the Negro people in this country. In nothing else are they so individually united. In nothing else are they so strongly a member of the National affairs. A race that can be saved from its political moorings by some fancied-wrong or temporary offence will never be counted on by other races as fit for fellowship in the big undertakings for human advancement. In the case of the skinned states take one feels reminded to say: "After the Browns audif, the deluge!" On the theory that nothing is impossible $\hat{a}$ is possible for an American Nekro to be a Democrat, but it is hard to believe that such a one can escape the horrors of the American system, almost inhuman, to love and trust your enemies, despite the Biblical injunction to the contrary. This does not mean by any means that the Republican party monopolizes all the virtues, or has done so with some day, when men and women of large political sense are in control and in obedience to its own deep sense of self respect, be able to be a more intimate and compelling part of the Republican party, masters and leaders, intimately of mere beneficiaries as we are today. The political sense of the American Negro has not grown and crystallized into strong agencies for offensive and purposes defense so as to render an American and economic forces of the day. Frederick Doughlass used to impressively say: "It is a foul bird that will dole its own nest." We have helped to make and keep the. Buildiful part of the American people in the civil and military and maintenance has been vital and important to the history and development of the American people. We all feel the need of some big man of state-manlike grasp of things that are important to the real Negro state-man has not yet appeared. Since the death of the great Doughlass the Negro has had many political opportunities in his grass, but we have not yet learned how to use them. It is necessary to look to the South as the only place where Negro Congressmen can FROM THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA Republic of Liberia, and Hon. J. J. Dewey. be elected. When that day comes we will have a group of men who will be so great and good in themselves as to add immeasurably to our political importance everywhere and at all times. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS. MASSACHUSETTS PHYSICIANS. Colored Physicians, Members, Attend Medical Society Meeting. History, June 16--The Massachusetts Medical Society, comprising several hundred medical men of distinction of this State, held their annual session Monday and Tuesday last. The Shattuck lecture was delivered in Palm Beach County, Florida, in Parish Hall of the Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the most learned physicians and authors of this country. The session closed with a sumptuous dinner in Mechanics Buildings, Huntington Avenue, Boston.

When Dr. Smith first came to Piedmont two and one half years ago, he found the doors of the Keyser Hospital burned to colored people but his work, as successful practice and physician on the staff of the said hospital, he was finally welcomed at the hospital. Later through his short colored people were admitted. He has held himself up as a thorough ethical practitioner, has helped in and done many other things at Keyser Hospital. The people at the city respect to see him leave and are hoping for another colored physician to take his place and do as much good in the community. He is a Washingtonian; has been a graduate in Washington and a graduate of Howard Medical College, class of 1904. CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY OF RELIEF SOCIETY Two Hundred People of New York and Vicinity, Including Members and Guests Listen to Brilliant Addresses by President E. V. C. Eato, Counsellor Webster, Collector Anderson and Others The impinging and dignified service at St. Philip's P. E. Church on Sunday evening, June 7, last, inaugurated a celebration which established an epoch positively unique in the history of the Afro-American in the city of New York. It was the beginning of the centennial anniversary of the New York African Society for Mutual Relief, which was followed the next night by a formal meeting at St. Philip's parish house and on Wednesday, 10th inst., with a banquet at Carnegie Hall. Between and 8 and 9 p.m. on carnegie tables, emptied their occupants at the hall, and the care and expense entailed by the absolutely charming gowns which beckoned the ladies was a matter of remark. The banquet hall was a bower of flowers and the care and expense entailed by large pants, gave the place almost an Oriental charm. The men wore the conventional evening dress and when Toastmaster Charles H. Lansing called upon the Rev. William T. Dixon to bless the asshole, the picture of flowers, filled with names, data and detail that only could have been secured after much research. Jerome B.

He further combated the oft repeated charge that the church was a failure. In "Charles W. Anderson, in speaking for the Empire State," sustained his well-known reputation as an orator and scholar, and praised the State and the country in truly patriotic fashion. He showed that our hundred years ago this country had but fifteen States, while there were 45; that the State had a population of 900,000, of which 15,000 were slaves, while to-day it has a population not less than 125,000 of which all a fraternity of 12,000 has held of the times both financially and morally.

Eato, who for one-quarter of a century has been the president of the society, the toastmaster gave the task of hostility and humiliation to many trials and tribulations of his organization. President Eato happily showed that the founder, among whom he mentioned William Hamilton, James Cheeseman, Ray Varkin, Carmen and others, built wider than those bows, were really contemporaries with the founding of some of our churches. As an evidence of the thrift and financial side he said that in eight years the society paid $5,430 to him and that in twenty-five years no member had left its meetings in anger. With this money they purchased a flat in 61th street, and other reality, which he said to day at a fair appraisal, heesti drew a portrait of himself, drawing an annual interest of 11 per cent. It was then shown that the society had lived during the rise and fall of Napoleon and Lincoln, and worked with Garrison, Summer, Bonglass and Brown, the history of the United States, and in 1827 observed the State change her black laws and emancipate her slaves. He then compared the city with twenty churches and missions, 75 preachers, and more than a baker's dozen of lawyers, more than a doctor's dozen of lawyers, and confessions, holding approximately a million dollars in real estate.

June 15—It may not be known to the general public how well Negroes are recognized in the Federal service in this city. For the general information of the readers of THE AGR, however, your correspondent sends the following information as to the number of clerks, carriers and employees of other grades in the Mobile postoffice and their salaries in the applegate. The total force employed in the Mobile postoffice consists of 65 persons, 23 clerks and 22 carriers and substitutes, whose total salaries amount to $77,200 annually, divided as follows: Thirty-two carriers and substitutes, all of whom are Negroes working annually $28,700; Negroes working annually $28,700; Negro total $12,100. Negroes employed receiving annually $12,100. There are 17 white clerks, receiving annually $8,100. The postmaster, Han P. D. Barker, has always proved himself a loyal friend of our people. Whenever residents of this city get on the civil service list he does not overlook them simply because of their color. Postmaster Barker takes them whenever vacancies occur. Members of the rices are also employed in the Custom House and in other departments of the Federal service here, perhaps more largely than in any other department. Theographer to the Collector of Customs is a Negro who has proved his fitness by hard work. St. Louis Noter The Methodist churches of St. Louis hold a union meeting at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church at 8 o'clock Sunday. It being the regular quarterly meeting of St. Paul of which Dr. Cook is the pastor.

M. B. COLLECTOR ANDERSON INTERVIEWER (From the New York State Internal Revenue Collector Charles W. Anderson, alternate-at-large from the State of New York, was interviewed after his arrival in Chicago on the subject of the treaty between the Southern contestants and the National Commit- ment, the effect it would have on the Mexico border of the country. "Mr. Anderson, who put up the 222 contests from the Southern States?" he "I in my judgment," Mr. Anderson replied, "they were very largely inspired by an organization in New York known as the Humphreys, a branch in this city, John E. Miholland is president and A. B. Humphreys is secretary. I believe. It curiously happens that nearly all of the colored men in the Taft conventions belonged to bolts from Taft conventions were men whose names had been distinctly associated with the Constitution League and its management for the last two months. Most of these colored men are Democrats. "The editor of the Boston Guardian, which is apparently the official organ of the Democrat, and his father before him was a Democrat. A colored physician from Philadelphia, a colored lawyer from Boston, and an attorney of whom he was being advised the colored people to vote the Democratic ticket in the event of the nomination of Secretary Boosey, or the renomination of House委员, and all currently reported and generally believed to be in the employ of the league." "How much did these contests cost?" want the next question, "the highest idea," said Mr. Anderson. "The method of financing bolts and rump conventions are quite as unfamiliar to me as the geometric latitude of the planet Mars. Doubless they were not put up on air, and it would seem quite proper to believe that they were not altogether financially financed." "What is the meaning of the meetings of Nectros in Chicago to protest against Committee on these Southern contests?"

In other words, in other army, it is the old game of the Chinese army throwing stink water. Two small boys stealing a ride on the rear of a wagon and one boy happening to fall by the side out "whip behind!" There is nothing new about it and nothing novel. "Are the Negroes of this country arrayed against Taft?" I "don't think that the Negroes are or can be arrayed against Secretary Taft." The Negroes in the civil war would mean disfranchisement and Jim Crow cars in the States of Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri and possibly Kansas, for most of those States. Not all of them were carried in order to elect A. Democrat President. "The Jim Crow cars and the disfranchisement, law dogs the footsteps of Democratic victories. This is a sorry question because the first New York, the first Southern State is Delaware, but it is a Republican State, and there are no Jim Crow cars there and the Negroes are not disfranchised, nor is the state is Maryland, but Democratic State. The Jim Crow car and the Negro partially and soon to be totally disfranchised. Further South we find West Virginia, but a Republican State, and the Negroes are not disfranchised. Thus we see the question of the manhood rights of the Negro depends upon Republican or Democratic success. Take Oklahoma, for instance, which was the first state to allow itsORK bill, I believe, but immediately after its election of a Democratic Governor and Legislature a Jim Crow law and a disfranchisement law were passed and the new talk of instituting separate telephone boots for Negroes in the larger cities. "Even in the District of Columbia an attempt was made by Congressman Helfin, of Alabama, to place Jim Crow cars on the streets of Washington and Baltimore, and to appoint a member of the House of Representatives with the exception of one New England Representative, and opposed by every Republican member of that body. "So far as the Brownsville episode is concerned, "don't believe the thought[al] Newton will vote against the Republican party because of it. What has the race lost by the dismissal of the colored soldiers? One battalion of colored soldiers was dismissal of another; and another dismissal of colored soldiers was dismissal into its place. If these men had been dislambased and their places filled with white soldiers, or if the places had been abolished or filled with colored soldiers at an earlier compensation, or rather a rerun of the same loss would be substantial and important, but if any one can explain to me how the Negro has suffered any considerable loss, except a sentimental one, when the place of every dismised soldier in the same race, I should will have to be done by a system of philosophy quite unfamiliar to me. "The trouble is that the newspapers provided an opportunity for every little inch high personality of our race be interviewed and repaired. The fellow in the backyard will have to stop in time of stress. They remind me of the backyard of a New York tenement house during a wind storm when the washing of ten or fifteen families is hung out to dry. The wind gets into the within and seems to be the apparel of a race of giants. The undergarments of some enunciated tenement house denizens assumes almost dropical proportions. But when the good housewives rattle them in the house, the ironing these same garments shrink at once into their forerunner insignificant proportions. "It is equally true about some of the noisy little followings to my race," concluded Mr. Anderson. "You will remember that although Givesley Summer supports Givesley Grant, and Givesley had been fighting the battles of the Negroes for a lifetime and had given lavishly both of his time and treasure to the abolition movement, the Negroes refused to desert the Republican party for the right to advise his people to support Givesley, and the old man element, with that unfailing sanity which characterized him, answered for his people: "The Republican party is the ship and all else is the raging sea; they were when uttered by Mr. Douglas; and I feel confident that the Negro will not follow Ryan where he refused to follow Horace Givesley. "I am not at all frightened by the noise made by the agitators and howling derivatives of my race, especially when making it at so much per noise and so much per blow. They don't represent the thought." R. A. C. COWAN Counsellor Cowan also enjoys the distinction of being the only colored lawyer to appear in condemnation proceedings in which the city has acquired property for the war. Mr. Cowan has had some of the most complex, intricate and difficult questions of law to unravel in order to place his case properly in the record. The commission submitted its reports to the Supreme Court for confirmation on June 29, 1908. Counselor Cowan represents four parcels full, industrious, soler, sensible millions of the race who do the voting but don't talk. "These men are like a theatre crowd; they may till the house with noise at a host performance, but they don't draw at the desk other." Mr. Anderson was then asked: "Do the Negroes of New York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois hold the balance of power in national, State and Congressional elec "In this day of slipped speaking" was his reply, "most men would probably say yes. I don't think that the Negro vote constituted the balance of power in these States in either of the McKinley campaigns or the Roosevelt campaign. I don't think that the Democratic vote and decide a large number of Congressional elections, but as to the precise extent to which they control those elections I am not prepared to say."

The Nyack Literary Club entered into a contest last week with the Engele members to win a prize, the members wont down to that noted Jerseyn town and spent a very pleasant evening. The contest was in the form of a debate, which was decided in favor of Nyack. Miss Francia Avery deserves special mention. Mr. R. A. Rhodes was called to Williamston, N. C. last week on account of the death of his wife, Mrs. Ella Pointwester Rhodes, who died Saturday evening. Mrs. Rhodes had been in ill health for some time and went South thinking to improve thereby. Her sister Mrs. Sally Pointwester, Mrs. Smith, left here Sunday to attend the funeral. The thirty-first annual reception given by the United Sistern in Friendship was a fine success in every particular—Mrs. S. Holly and Mim S. Little, left behind, visited Nyack last also. Also Mr. S. Johns, William Hill of New York city. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 17.—The Library invoices Vice President J. L. Dessen, former President G. W. Gibson and Charles B. Ungar, of the Liberian bar, together with their secretaries, T. J. R. Faulkner, have been the cynosure of all eyes in the national capital this week. On Wednesday evening, in company with Dr. Booker T. Washington who has enriched a deep interest in the library since the time of their shores, the papers were given a cordial reception by Roosevelt at the White House. Dr. Washington came on from Tukeague Institute for the express purpose of presenting them to the President. Secretaries Taft, Root, Wilson and other prominent officials of the United States Government, and to give its moral port to the important mission upon which the American's hospitality brief. The conference at the White House began at 9:30 p. m. and lasted over an hour. It will be remembered that the envoy's primary purpose in visiting the United States at this time is to invoke the good offices of this government to prevent certain threatened encroachments of England. France and Germany upon the library. Liber has now found in possession of natural resources of fabulous value and the commercial forces of Europe's most powerful nations are anxious to get hold of valuable outlying strips, with a view of exploiting them to their own advantage, and the Liberians fear that the integrity of their republic is thus endangered. The United States have no legal interpretation of the library's appeal for moral assistance and international influence in inducing England, Germany, and France to abandon their policy of aggression. A purpose scarcely second in importance in connection with the future of Liberia is to lay before the capitalists of this country the vast possibilities that lie in the development that country will be able to build of manufacturing plants, and preparing the republic along industrial and educational lines to take a high place in the commercial affairs of the world. President Russell Sullivan with the closest attention to the representations of the commission, Vice President Desson setting his case with remarkable clearness and with dignity and diplomatic graciousness, gave an impassioned speech, interested in the vivid description of the rich agricultural and mineral resources of the black republic, and was visibly impressed with the attractive picture painted by the commissioners of the natural benefits that they thought would certainly grow out of the development of the country. The exclusive rubber, coffee, timber and cotton lands of their country. The country has a population of about 2.5 million; 400,000 are civilized, none are savage, and the untamed natives, led by the intelligent and ambiguous element, can be built into an industrial army capable of protecting the garden of plenty. Mr. Desson says with the introduction of modern machinery and the training of the people in industrial and agricultural pursuits, backed by the necessary funds to finance manufactures and mines. Liberia, would be the face of the globe. After the usual exchange of courtesies the delegation departed, feeling assured by the President's sympathetic manner and numerous evidences of warm friendship that they had made a favorable impression upon the Chief Executive and that they might even be appointed to the office of the president, with proper regard for international county and diplomatic standards. Still accompanied by Dr. Washington the party made a call upon Secretary Taft at his handsome home on K street, where a similar warm welcome was accorded to the student of the colonial affairs of the African continent and has given Liberia special consideration as the legitimate child of the United States. He was therefore pleased to greet the Liberian commissioners and in the interview planned much information the day before. The day, under sword of Dr. Washington, a round of the departments was made, and AGE—35 35 35 a call of special significance was made upon Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson. Among the many notable figures the famous Haitian patriot, who was in the city on business, in company with his secretary, a distinguished looking young man, with a big monstacle, General Fermin, gifted and unusually affable, talked volently in English, with a delightful touch in French, and a proud of the progress the American Negroes are making along all lines of endeavor. Thursday night, a public reception was tendered the Liberian envoy at Lincoln Temple Congregational Church. The general arrangements were in the hands of Lawyer Thomas J. Caliwayo, who so successfully engineered the grip of the envoy to the commission at Tuskegee Institute, so few days ago. The church was the first to be commissioned by the vision of Mr. Henry Lasseter, who is a veteran in matters pertaining to public assessee duties. The American colors predominated, and in a conspicuous place, suspended from the ceiling, was a large Liberian flag, made especially for this occasion. The edition was crowded to the dogs long before the meeting was called to order. Standing room was at a promenade, and the crowd cramped with people unable to gain admission. As the reception was held in connection with a special session of the Washington branch of the National Negro Business League, the preliminary portion of the program was carried on by the officers of that organization, and the newly elected officers were installed with appropriate economies. Retiring President A. A. C. Smith and the new president, Mr. W. Sidney Pitman, who spoke briefly, Dr. Booker T. Washington, was asked to preside over the reception proper, and he came forward amid a sea of applause. Mission Indented by Dr. Washington Preparatory to introducing the several Libertarian candidates, Dr. Washington made an effort to help the endorsement of both the men and the women was hearty and sincere, saying in part: "I am glad to be with you to tonight and help welcome these estimable and lovable men and women. They are here in Washington on an official visit, set up representations of the entire Negro race. To a vast degree we are deeply interested in affairs affecting them, as they must necessarily be interested in our welfare and admiration. "To have degree their success in our counsels and their failure is our failure. If their country succeeds, so much in that, degree does the race succeed. And if their country fails, so much in that degree does the race fail. "They need the support they ask for, and should have it for the reasons mentioned. Their mission here is a noble "It is a gratification to note and realize how well these men have been received here in Washington, the cordial relations which their pleas have been listened to and the interest manifested in their mission, which I trust will be realized to its fullest extent. These men have been to the White House, the State Department, the Treasury, the Department of our government and their welcomes has been pleasing and cordial. "Formally I have never met in the comparatively short time that I have been with them more lovable or more grateful men. Each of them has endured himself to me by his seal, his faith, his affection and in his counselling. They have found a deep and lasting place in my affections." Enyours Explain Their Cause. Following Dr. Washington, the envoys of James J. Domen, vice-president of the republic; G. W. Gitson, formerly president and for many years secretary of state in Liberia; Charles B. Dunbar, a lawyer; J. R. Faulkner, a civil ex-gined and a civilian, was introduced and spoke upon their African home and its possibilities. After the primary object of the envoys' visit to America was outlined, a territorial description was given of the country, the form of the government, model of a state that of the country. States and a resume of the resources. The lack of industrial development was dwelt upon also and the envoys endeavored to show the vast opportunities for the profitable investment of large amounts of capital. The envoys pleaded for a closer bond of union between the coldest people and the most diligent people. The United States and the citizens of Liberia. This bond they asserted would create a deeper and kindlier feeling for Liberia in America than has existed for many years and would tend to revive the interest in the country formerly held by American people for the success of the republic when American degrees were first sent out to the union the fertile strip of land. With a stronger bond between the two countries, the envoys stated, would come the revival of trade with the United States, which was greatly lended for by the citizens of the republic, and the investment of American capital in the country. The Liberians stated that practically no industrial advancement had been made in the country because of the national poverty, and there were oppersions against it, and the small or large sums of money, in marketing the natural resources of the land, such as ivory, ginger, coffee, tropical fruits, mahogany and the palm and bamboo products. Industrial Education Needed in Liberia. As indicating the need of industrial development, the envoys stated that none of the natural resources of the country could at present be profitably marketed. Norther in the interior than from 35 to 40 miles because of the enormous cost of transporting the natural resources all of which would mean immediate profits to the investor. In speaking of the internal affairs of their land, the envoys asserted that though their government had not made any vast strides toward national improvement, the country and purposes of the fountains of the republic had not been in failure. All needed now was capital to drive them further on the path of national development. The state one-fourth of the public revenue was devoted to education and the civilization of the alqarjines, both meeting with promised success. The envoys ended by making earnest pleas for more material interest in their country on the part of all Americans, concerted efforts that they might take the fullest advantage of internal business opportunities offered and divert the foreign trade of the country, controlled by the English, Germans, Dutch and Portuguese. They stated they turned to America, their mother country, for the material aid so much needed, for the paternal interest she has shown the country in, for the future, for the world would be aroused in the future, and, lastly, with the hope of gradually stamping out and currating the enervations of European powers, which have been increasing steadily year after year. A brilliant musical program was rendered under the direction of Dr. Amanda V. Gray, choice selections being presented by Mosses, C. Summar Wormily, D. Arnese, Cameron White, H. Loused, Cameron May, L. Europe, following the public session at Lincoln Temple, a toothsome collation was served to the envoys and invited guests at Gray's in charge appointed cafe.

C. A. held exercises in the afternoon and at night the secretary and clerk was divided into financial secretary of the A. M. E. Zion Church. His effort was spalited and it made a great impression. The Sunday school and Christian Endeavor both held interesting exercises at their usual hours. It will please the many friends of Mother Zion in part because that the R. M. McMullen has been returned to that church for another year, this being his fifth. Dr. McMullen has proven himself highly acceptable as a pastor and has done and is doing a wonderful work in the upper part of the city. Coming to New York, he had just moved up town and it was rather difficult to face a new church in a new place which made altogether a new condition, but Dr. McMullen was not dismayed neither did he become discouraged. He put his shoulder to the wheel and by hard, consistent work, keeping community on the move the company was moving in the city. The membership is steadily increasing and a general interest is actively manifested all around. His clean life, high moral standard and eminent qualities have placed him along side such pastors as Dr. Brooks, Rutler, Henderson and Mr. Bishop, who have been devoted financial and affective churches.

As irrational as have been their ranting for the past six months we would hardly be surprised at anything they might say. This cry of "Sunsilized Press and "The Need of an Independent Press" and other similar talk that is being set up by the editors of papers who were so voluminous and rattled in their attacks on Secretary Taft that they now find they have gone to far into the mine to get back to terra nima without submitting themselves to deep illumination. It has been openly charged time and time again that THE ACE has been the leading Negro paper in the interest of Secretary Taft's nomination. If such is true, a charge of which the paper is not admitted. We have advocated the nomination of the big Secretary because we have all along believed that he was the most available candidate the Republican party could put up; we believed and still believe that he possesses a regular fitness for the Presidency. All talk about THE WE being brought or submitted is not. If those radical "know-it-all" editors who make such charges know something about this paper being brought why don't they make a news article out of it and comment on it at length in their editorial columns. It should prove interesting campaign reading at this time. We believe in the principles of the "Republican party and don't intend to comment, suicide or advise the Negroes of the United States to do so because of any grievance we may hold, which we think can be ultimately righted in a conservative and dignified way. We are not like some of our editors who take up all the "isms" that cranks bring out; who yell for single tax, then for some other "ism" and finally return to the Republican party to make trouble which they would if the people regarded them seriously. All we have to say is let the sem- tational editors who make jobs ob- stinate them or forever hold them tongues. "LILY-WHITES!" RECEIVES "BLACK-EYE," AT CRICOAC. The Alabama contest of the regular Republicans in Alabama against the "Lily-Whites" was the first considered by the National Republican Committee in Chicago. It is good news that the wives living us to the effect that the "Lily-White" faction of Alabama was completely heaten in our district, and in the State at large having a place to hang on. We have said that our purpose is to inform that we were victorious in President Roe v. Wade and Secretary Lloyd M. McMullen to consult "Lily Whites" in the South, and what the National Committee has done in the Valley, even more than justifies our position.

We have the official, professional, ministerial and commercial life. We are delighted with America, and with her people and her institution, and it may safely be said that the American Negro is just really entering upon the civil exaltation that is to be his in the current of the years. 2021 WEEKLY The Charleston News and Crier very recently carried a special despatch from Columbia, S. C., to the effect that thirty-three English people had been brought into South Carolina and located as servants in and around Columbia. Edgefield, Albemarle, Greenville etc.; also setting to the white-sale discharge of Negro servants because of the incoming of these English women. The despatch has been copied in several newspapers and is not served pretty generally upon the Negroes that wholesale English immigration is going to live the servant prince in South Carolina. Now we do not believe anything of the kind. A short while ago a number of immigrants were brought into South Carolina on the sponsorship Wutinkland, and it was published all over the country that Negro form laborers were to be displaced by this. It turned out, however, very soon that everyone of these immigrants either returned to their homes in Louisiana or else went to other parts of the country, as they could not stand the treatment meted out to them in the South Carolina forms. We look for something of the same ending to this present effort to import English servants. It is perfectilly for these South Carolina Indians to think that English women, German women, or any other class of women are going to put up with what the long suffering Negro women have put up with. The best way for them to solve the servant problem in South Carolina and throughout the South, for that matter, is to treat their client helpers with some degree of consideration and humanity and pay them a wage in keeping with the services rendered. It is well known that much of the present locomotive in the South was about because of the failure on the port of that section to provide anything any something decent school accommodations for the Negro children and because of the insufficient wage which is paid for almost all kinds of domestic and unpaid service. We have not the slightest faith in the present movement. It is deserved to future well in advance of its beginning THE SOUTHS, NEW WAY OF CAUSING SILENCE In a recent issue of the New York Evening Sun, under the caption of "A Portrait Sketch in white," with time in the frame, we see by and about the Here we are, sitting by and on the floor in the room of the Dove and Wakeman, that there is nothing but a moment in time, when Simon's fellowship, which Simon has provided to our friend the Dove, is a mature man and that there has been a moment in time when Simon's Boston bull riding had been a time of film experience that he has not only immensely enjoyed but for the Denver crowd.

THE VICTORY OF THE "BLACK AND TAN" DECLARATION. Again the Republican National Committee has put itself on record as being against any form of "Lily-Whiteism" in the South. Despite the fact that the "Black and Tan" delegation from Louisiana was not instructed for Secretary Taft, while the "Lily-White" delegation was instructed for the Secretary, the committee effected a compromise, giving each side half a vote in the convention. With the Taft people evidently in control of the National Committee the "Lily-Whites" anticipated a walk-over when the Louisiana contests were called. But they were given as severe shock when the committee refused to seat a solid white delegation from their State. While the decision of the committee was pleasing to the "Black, and Tan" delegation, it was as equally displeasing to the other side. CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IS DUE.

Republican Party Opposed to Methods of Some Southern Politicians. Citizens, June 15. As a result of the National and Republican Committees last week "Lily Whitson" in the Southern States received a commission to investigate the death of the woman, which the committee presented. The Thompson debate, which represented the regular Republicans, composed of both white and colored, was held in the state on June 15. The committee did not only dedicate at large but the nine district's delegations had their seats contested, but the regular Republicans went against the "Lily Whitson" in every case. The "Lily Whitson" did not was led by Davison and the Tall fathers are determined, pledged by the section in the Alabama case, to finish "Lily Whitson" in the South, and a three-year standard of service they have the approval of The national committee, your renders, of the good to know should in favor of the regular.

"The criticism of Mr. Taft for speaking of the weakness of General Grant is entirely uncalled for. When Mr. Taft spoke of that side of the General he did so simply to illustrate how great men overcome their weaknesses. For this man, great as he was, possessed all the weaknesses of any other man; but when the opportunity presented itself he was able to overcome them and climb to fame and success as chief of the Army. He would have been so great bad he possessed no weakness. When a man puts from him all of the little shortening he ceases to be human, but rather a mechanical man. In General Grant we see a man whose weakness has been seen and discussed, but when duty called him as a citizen of the United States to act for his country he did so by burying his body to the Union might be preserved. Was this not rising above human weakness? We do not find a man every day who can rise above the level as the General dlib and mount an army to victory as Ps 26. The victories achieved by General Grant are among the greatest that not believed that Mr. Taft meant the slightest harm when he pokes of the post-life of our General, St. Louis Palladium. If the Republican party sets itself squared and unapologetic as determined to enforce the Constitutional amendments intended to make the lately occupied people secure in the enjoyment of their rights, it will need to enact the additional laws necessary to bring this result about, then the only reasonable or possible thing for us to do will be to stand squared by the Democrats and to line up on this question as it might, then we will have to take chances a lot what we will do.

"All things are 'twelfth into the but all thines are no expiable all things are in good for me, but I will not be bright under the power of my." Florida Standard From all accounts it appears that the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which has just ended its meeting at Baltimore, has significantly failed to colored bishop. In the earlier stage of bishopting, the Rev. Dr. M. C. R. Mason, of Cincinnati, the colored candidate, ordained. But now he has dropped away behind, with about 130 cotes. It looks as if no colored person will be elected, in fact, the formal withdrawal of Dr. Mason from the church. There is certainty that such will be the case. Aside from the uniform good treatment accorded the colored members of this body, there is yet anything of special importance to Afro-Americans to report. Rev Dr. R. Cooke, of New York, one of the delegates to the Conference, realized at one of the gravity of the sit- tuation and offered an amendment to the church constitution by the terms of which missionary bishops for Africa might hold conferences of colored Methodists in America. The amendment was pigeon-holebed. Securing the impossibility of a federation of African bishops in the M. E. Church in the United States, Dr. Cooke's object was to have Missionary Bishop Scott, colored, of Liberia, Africa, to come to this country and hold conferences among his own congregation in the United States, been asked why are there no colored bishops in the United States in the M. E. Church? Doubtless the fear is that a Negro bishop may in time preside over a white congregation, which might have a white congregation, bringing the range into closer relationship—Mouphis (Tenn.) Bluff City News. Little Wille Trotter, of Boston town, like little H. C. S. Cleveland, is in the cause, not for any personal reasons, but because he loves the "dear people." Willie is such a soulful (pr should we say shoofly) writer. His chief stock in trade is his ability to call people names. 90% Willie can call people such sweet names. They are music to the ear. Willie's flow of names may be classified into two general heads. The one may be "the dear people"—"few and far between" who come under that head, a group of people whose words are reserved. There is no other requirement—character, intelligence, honesty—to get a half column of those favors "see as I see"—or at least "see as I do." The other general head may be termed "not as I see," and for this class little Wilkie has an ice chest filled with choice in gourmet wine, cigar and vintail. He dispenses the with indiscriminate gladness to educators, ministers, bishops, editors, legislators, congressmen and bureaucrats. He fact, every body who does not belong to the "see as I see" class, and their name is legion. But it's a father generous and noble way.

Peterson for the Centennial Celebration of the New York African Society for Mutual Bellett A pertinent suggestion of your amiable and accomplished toastmaster provoked the question: "What is the Opportunity of the Press?" The answer came in the one world—service. The greatest opportunity afforded by the press is that of rendering service to the country, to the race and to the battle, to the most esteemed all of all to one of fellow men. This service requires to small things as well as to great ones. In fact, there seems to be nothing too small in the affairs of men and nothing too great in the affairs of men. This list the devoted service of the press. The members of the Fourth Estate, as newspaper men are sometimes called,itute my unofficial class of public servants, and the amount of official position, not bound by any vow of service like the lawyer,inspects the newspaper man is nevertheless public and private interests, often without out money and without price. No better field could offer for the atrisk or an opportunity to serve his fellow men. My chief aim on this occasion, however, is in brief measure to indicate how this opportunity of service was grasped and carried out by the pioneers of our world-class and other countries. It was about this time to look back across the century-covered by the paper of this ancient and honorable society and review the birth and growth of Aro-Amerraman public life during that period, hoped to discuss that the Aro-Amerraman press could boast of as early a begin-nces the New York-African Society for Mutual Relief. But in that I was disappointed. In fact, I found that but little to do with the public life, I found that I was back as this veggable society.

The earlier example of the system, and the end of the time press was furnished in Peேdon's Journal, published in this city in 1827 by John E. Russwurm. A copy of this letter, sheet is preserved in the colossal and the second-in-line of the old-class city. Like all of its class, published in the 40 years that followed this paper was devoted to the service of the anti-slavery ganze. Associated with Mr. Rees Conuel D. Smith. The name of the Colored American, under the management of Philip A. Bell. Dr. James McNeve Smith being one of the editors, later the Rev. Charles E. Ray became a positionary president of the British Society of Civil Service to the anti-slavery cause until the paper suspended publication in 1812. Then came the Elevator, established at Albany by Stephen Myers, National Branch of the William G. Allen; and in 1796 by William H. Garret, who afterward published The Clarion. The People's Press was staged by Thomas Hamilton and John Das, the latter of whom claims aเดียวกัน and perilous relation to the following the present members of this society. The Mystery was published by Martin R. Deloney the Genre of Freedom, by David Rueges; the North Horn at Roebeau's Hogwilders; the North Ass. by William A. Hozles; the North Ass. which was afterwards known as Frederick Dongleys; Peter Theon Lewis H. Pernon began the publication of the Colored Man's Paper in New York city, and the first of the period was published by Prof. William H. E. Dr. The Mirer of the Times was issued in 1855 at San Francisco by the Hon. Millin W. Gildes, being later merged into the Parade A. Bell, with which paper Philip A. Bell had to be issued. The same time of the Journal, published in the Herald of Econom. in Ohio, the Christian Reader was established in 1861 in Philadelphia, with Rev. Later Risch and Campbell as editor. A few years before the edition of Aro-Amerraman, conducted by the Hamilton brothers, Thomas and Robert. This was scheduled by the un군갑의 of the same name, with probably the most notional and unbelievable members of any publication of the race. It is inhaled such names as J. W. C. Penning, David A. Payne, Edward W. Reynolds, Elon Watkins, Mary A. Sury, William J. Wilson, George R. W. W. McNeave, James L. Levy, Gerry B. Beman, J. Sell, Martin, James T. Hedge, Holly and others. With the close of the Civil War the number of race journals increased so rapidly, that it would be almost impractical to notice. Notable among these later issues were the Sunbarn, in Brooklyn, edited by the Rev. Rufus L. Perry, who afterward published the National Monitor, the National War Journal, James L. Schoenman and John R. Lynch, the Legislation by P. R. S. Pinchbeck, and the Progressive American by John L. Freeman, the last named being with the collection of many present there to right. Before leaving this phase of the subject, it seems proper to recall a name familiar to all the members of this society, the discoverer that he actually conducted a rigorous himself, although a practical pioneer, yet there is evidence that he was a vive-prize and zealous supporter of the society. He was a pioneer in field P. to the late John A. Zinn. A wider t.3.1 of service opened to the race papers, established after the war. The anti-slavery struggle has been brought to a point where there came an unanticipated unplanning of a new citizenship. The questions of labor and education have been initiated and main subject, requiring the考察, evaluation and careful handling of the subjects needed more than a rightful share of attention. But, in spite of all the magical novel and material upifting of the passport has ever been the prime motive of the Afro-American people. From the seed of the single sheet planted by Rosswarren in 1827, there have sprung up evidence at the press, 300 weeklies, about 20 months and three or four quarterly publications. In the ability of the newspaper to serve others, but seldom himself, he might be likened to a doorkeeper with the idea of opportunity to assist the client to enter himself without deserving his past. Nevertheless, the position is not without its rewards. There is the satisfaction of serving ones fellow man or fellow citizen, and the idea of argument to the weary and oppressed; of spreading wide the gospel of work; of exulting the good and of denouncing the things that work for evil. This is no mean return for the carpenter and nurse, but a return for the consummation workers of the press. Then with the material and intellectual growth of the masses whom they serve, the material compensation of the workers of the press furnishes opportunity; for employment to many classes of our skilled labor; pressmen and composites, typetwriters and stenographers, bookkeepers, reporters, correspondents and centersales workers. Material growth comes the opportunity for the investment of capital in newspaper enterprises on a purely business basis. This would increase the avenues for the employment of the rising general public, and make a reasonable return on the capital invested. Even those who may not adopt newspaper work as a lifelong vacation, will find in it a splendid training for most any business or professional calling. Many of our leading representatives in professional life and in official station are their public experience with the press in one capacity or another. To sum it up: the opportunity of the press is—to serve one’s fellow in greater or lesser degree to furnish a suitable employment to our skilled labor; to serve as a training school for other department of life work. And as the years progress the secretary’s existence, let us hope that it will continue to be one of the most pleasing functions of the press to point to the historic career of an amateur honorable man than an incentive to inspiration to all organized effort toward the progress and uplifting of the race. May its existence also remain a standing refutation in any good work is lacking amount our moral assets as a people! Tunkreee Men in the Soudan. From New York Tribune In December, 1901, three graduates of Tuskegee Institute, in Alabama, went to Africa to introduce American methods of cotton culture among the natives in the Sahara. They were Poindexter Smith, a blacksmith; C. W. Tiptlett, a carpenter; and John P. Powell, a teacher in the agricultural department. They were employed by Leigh Hunt, an American capitalist, who is said to have large interests in Mauleuchura and Corea, and who had some original notions as to the possibilities of cotton culture in Africa. They were also after two years Smith died. Powell has recently returned to recover from the globalization effects of the tropical climate. He expects, to go back again. He gives an interesting account of his experience, where Mr. Hunt has leased 40,000 acres of land from the Egyptian government. The company, which has erected expensive irrigation works and buildings, has an present 3,000 acres of land cleared, and an existing 3,000 acres of ants. The land yields as high as 800 pounds of lint cotton an acre, under the method of culture employed and averages something over one bale an acre. Zizibar, where the plantation lies, is a few miles above the junction of the Nile and Algeria. It was in the plain formed by the junction of these rivers that Merces, the ancient capital of the Nile, was situated. It was here that Mr. Powell mounted in the New Testament lived. "There are three distinct methods of irrigation in use along the Nile," said Powell the other day. "The first and most amount is that objectifying the water management such as buckets or rangelands, such as sometimes there in the old fashioned wells—a beam on a pole, with a bucket on one end and a weight on the other. You see a great deal of irrigation by this primitive method in both the lower and the upper sections of the river, an arrangement of buckets on a wheel, which is moved by a team of bullocks. The third method is the steam pump. The irrigation at Zedidah and the three other plantations conducted by Europeans in the Sudan is by steam pumps, which it is necessary to import coal, as is hardly any wood in the Sudan." Powell stated that large quantities of sand are spread over the country by sandstorms, and that he has been trained to carry six hours by sand pallet across the track. I became very well acquainted with the natives during the three years I was there. Shortly after I arrived I was to digging a canal which was to be the opening of the river to the gation of the whole tract of 40,000 acres. For a long time I saw only the natives for weeks at a time. After I became well enough versed in their language I freely with them used to go sometimes with their husbands. They used to ask me all sorts of questions about my people and the country from which I came. They wanted to know if we had a sun and my country as they had in the Nordian. "I found them very dexterous in weaving and in making the few articles of furniture and of dress they use, but they were not worth much as laborers, and they had 15 cents a day, and that No. 10 generation was quick to learn. The younger generation was quick to learn. Worked a great deal better than the older people. What they need is schools. While Triplett was there he started a school for the natives and the rest of the Delaware parity supported it. The triplett degree party supported it. The triplett went away several of the days could speak pretty good English and read and write a little. "The difficulty in the Soudan is to get value. The tribal wars have almost deserved it. The tribal wars have heard it said that during the 10,000,000 the Soudan was under the Khalifa the population was reduced from 10,000,000 [www.wwww.com] have frequently plagued in the form of tribal tigers homes of Soudan women and children who had been killed in some of these attacks. I have seen, in going about country, hundreds of empty villages. It is country, in itself, a country with arable lands of the Soudan until it is possible in some way to repopulate the country. There has been something said about the country with colored people from America. I do not think any one who knows the Soudan has thought seriously of that. We need and there, for the most part, to American methods of growing cotton. "I do not know how much cotton is now raised in the Souland, but it is considerable. The natives have always raised cotton for our companies, encased in cotton cottons. We have natives and ship it to Liverpool. We have no gin, but ship out the wool cotton in 300-pound sacks. One of the natives worth about $2250 in Liverpool. The natives hold a fair every year at which it is shipped to natives for the best cotton. These fairs are held in four or five of the larger cities of the Souland. In 1907 I served as inspector at one. We had thousands of exhibitors. There was a good deal of American goods with the Egyptian at this fair, and sorts of vegetables. We have found that while the American cotton has not so long a tapic as the Egyptian, the plants seem to thrive better in the Souland than any other. One thing we had to contend against was the fever that came after we had woken up the next morning. She through our system of irrigation. The up and downing of this soil seemed to be on fevers which for a time were there. There was a time when we buried a child in the ground of all most every day, and sometimes not only but two and three. I was sick for six months with slow fever, and got so low that I would have to get out if I expected a life of health in a few years Zeidah will be as healthy as any other part of the Sojdan." I thought I brought back with him a number of inquiries showing the character and quality of the dustries and has made several contributions to the Tunkegree Institute campus to which other graduates of the university who visited Africa have also made gifts. NOTES OF THE GREATER CITY Y. M. C. A. Celebrates Seventh Year of Existence at Mother Zlon Church—News of Saint Mark's Lyceum New York is looking forward with much pleasure and, delight to the coming of the National Convention of Colored Doctors to meet in this city in August. This convention is very significant since it means the coming together of such an interesting group of men and women, as members of the medical professions. The committee to look out for the comfort of the physicians is sparing no pain in making the necessary preparations for the convention while the meeting is in this city. New York is highly favored in having this convention this year. Every colored man and woman ought to take an especial interest in the coming of such a worthy and representative group of men and women of the race. The convention holding its sessions in the metropolis of the nation will do a great deal toward bringing it to a state of order. It is thought that in the neighborhood of three or four thousand delegates will be present. St. Mark's Lyceum. Next Sunday afternoon, June 21, at the St. Mark's Lycée hour an educational meeting of annual interest will be held to discuss the educational and economical situation of the Negroes in America. This meeting is an annual occurrence, and is looked forward to with much pleasure and delight. Need more information among them will be Mrs. A. W. Jiamon, a noted Association worker who will speak on the Association work as an educational factor. Mrs. Jiamon is an interesting speaker. The teachers of the city will be requested to be present and participate in the meeting. G. G. McGill will be one of the most interesting meetings of the year, and those interested in education should be present. The musical feature promises to be unique and of a high order. The exercises will begin a half hour earlier in order to complete the program. Last Thursday evening the excerpts at the St. Mark's Lycamina were unusually good and interesting. The program good was of a musical and literary turn, was one of the best of the Lycamina year. A good-sided and appreciative audience attended the program. Mr. John Williams was in charge. After the usual song service conducted by Prof. Leon S. Alger, and the devotional excerises, the program opened with an original poem by Mr. A. N. Walker, "What is Success?" followed by a swootty numbered soprano sola by Mrs. Eta Fawers, Mr. Ambo Tabor, two basses, Mr. John Williams, Caffine, followed by another soprano sola, and an interesting paper by Mr. C. C. Allison, subject "Opportunity." After Mr. Allison's paper, Mr. A. D. Wood, one of the old members of the Lycamina, gave an encouraging and in-spiring five-minute talk, Mr. Wood spoke of the possibility of maintaining a library of the great work St. Mark's Lycamina was doing in New York, and the work that was being done by the Rutherford Library Society of Washington, H. C. Thursday evening at the Lawn the auxiliary of the Business League will be taken in the Northwestern Federation of Clubs Miss. A. W. Hamilton secretary Young Woman Christian Association will be one of the members of the Wiley, the president of the Northwestern Federation. This association of women is doing a great deal of good and is composed of some of the most intelligent members of the race. This meeting will doubtless be interesting as it is of an important nature. Some of the noted women of the Fayette interested in club work are the Fayette Barter Club, Mary Church Terrill Miss. Elizabeth Frazier, Mrs. A. W. Hamilton, Miss Eva Bowls and others. The Lyceum singing class has registered quite a few young men and women, who have expressed a desire to join the class. This will be an interesting feature of the Lyceum week, and will keep the Lyceum together. Y. M. C. A. Notes. Last Sunday afternoon at Mother Zion A. M. Church an interesting meeting was held in the interest of the Young Men's Christian Association. The meeting was well attended, and the audience evidenced great interest in the meeting. The occasion was the seventh anniversary of the A. M. G. A. and an opportunity was held to see just the kind of work that the Y. M. G. A. is doing among colored young men of New York. Doctor E. P. Roberts presided and opened the meeting, and the welcome such a large gathering of friends of the Association. He spoke of the struggles of the Association, and how it kept abreast of the time. The program opened by the congregation singing "Coronation," and selection No. 1 in the Church annual Rev. J. Prentice read offered prayer, followed by the reports of the different committees. Cleveland G. Allen read the report from the Social committee. Mr. Samuel Morgan read from the Library of the Abbé club, and Mr. R. II. Bentley read from the Literary society. Each report from the orally received. The reports of the committees were followed by the general report of Secretary T. J. Bell. His report dealt with the general phases of the work and the great effort the Association had put forth the past year. His report was a clear statement of the work and was well received. The program continued with a solo by Abdulphis A. Haston, followed by the anniversary address by Mr. Bentley, a well known Bible speaker, and began his address interesting speaker, and began his address disappointing that he was somewhat disappointed in seeing ladies present. He said humourously that if he had known that ladies were present he would have put on another coat. (Laughter.) He spoke of the pleasure derived from living an unmodified Christian life. He also praised the race for the great progress they have made in the last forty years. Keep in touch with God, he said, and things would come out for the best. He addressed an inspiring one to the young and wise members of the address was followed by the correspondence collection, which amounted to $29. The notices of the week were given, and the big anniversary meeting came in a close. The Young Men's Christian Association has the good will and kindly feeling of all. It is interesting to see with what peace and harmony the different churches of the city work in conjunction with the Y. M. C. Church Sunday afternoon Rev. Dr. Kyns of the Park Presbyterian Church will be the speaker for the afternoon. His subject will be the "Great Problem." Dr. Kyns is looked upon as one of the strongest men in the New York clergy and a strong lecture is looked forward to with much light and pleasure. with much delight and pleasure.

The usual answer one gets these torrid days in June upon asking a variety performer what he intends to do next season, is: "Well, you know the vaudeville situation is a complex one just now, and I am waiting to see how things will turn out." This time last summer the majority of performers found the vaudeville situation complex enough, but affairs are even worse this year. There is more talk of opposition and another vaudeville war is imminent. Then, business conditions in the commercial world were much better at this time last year, which necessarily meant a better patronage of the theatres. William Morris, booking agent for Klaw & Erlanger, until they effected a compromise, whereby the United Booking people took over all the Klaw & Erlanger acts, is establishing a circuit of the剧院 in opposition to the United Booking office. He claims that he will have a circuit by September which will give performers booking for from fifteen to forty weeks. In New York he will run vaudeville at the American Theatre. A report is in circulation that the Circle Theatre will also be a Morris house. Philadelphia and Boston will be two other cities where Keith & Proctor will have opposition. In fact, Morris asserts that in every large city where Keith & Proctor have houses he will establish a vaudeville theatre. Variety performers are wondering what effect the probable vaudeville war will have on the question of salaries. Last summer Klaw & Erlanger and the United Booking people lived with each other in paying well-known acts large salaries. Even the small vaudeville acts benefited by the condition of affair whenever they got an opportunity to work. Usually opposition in vaudeville means more money for the performer, but only temporarily. The performer reaps a harvest as long as the war lasts, but invariably there is trouble for a short time only—then a compromise. After, the rival heads get together and arbitrate their differences the result is the salary of the performer is in many instances even lower than before the war started. Small acts are usually affected more so than the large ones. Such was true when Klaw & Erlanger and the United Booking people settled their differences, the latter agreeing to take care of all the acts under contract with Klaw & Erlanger providing the big firm would go out of vaudeville. Then the supply was greater than the demand, resulting in Broadway and Sixth Avenue being crowded all winter with performers out of work. The Keith - Proctor - Williams - Hammerstein combination was compelled to take care of the Klaw & Erlanger acts, and attempted to do so, much to the loss of hundreds of acts. Many a performer during the winter worked for half the salary he received here-to-fore, and at that was very glad to get it. Owing to the conditions arising after the Klaw & Erlanger-United Booking deal, the performer is wondering whether he will be benefited by the Morris opposition. William Morris has been over in Europe for weeks in search of foreign acts, it is said, and had it not been for the hundreds of foreign acts brought over by Klaw & Erlanger conditions during the winter would not have been so strained. It is well and good for William Morris to bring over large numbers of foreign acts if he intends to remain in the field, but if he consolidates with the large firm within a few months the condition of affairs will be as bad, if not worse, than last winter and spring. But the Morris opposition is not the only element that is furnishing food for thought and gossip on the Radio. A movement is on foot to create an artists' investment fund, which proposition involves an independent booking agent and the consolidation of the smaller circuits in the East. The scheme, which is being fostered by vandeville artists, is outlined as follows: To band together the smaller circuits of the East; to establish an independent booking agency with an office on Broadway; to invite all vandeville managers to join the body under promise of immunity from weekly payment for the furnishing of bills, and a promise to adopt a strict policy of charging only five per cent. commission. The proposition further provides for a guarantee to managers allied with the other booking agents that their profits shall not be less than the amount made during the season of 1906-7. The season of 1908 has been eliminated on account of the poor showing the smaller managers have made with the larger booking agencies up to date. It is said that three houses have already been secured, but the promoters refuse to disclose their respective locations. From a reliable source it has been gleamed that the "White Rats" are deeply interested in the scheme, and that the raising of the "Investment Fund" is the result of long agitation. Just what the outcome of this scheme will be is problematical, but the writer fails to ERNEST HOGAN see the practical side of it, that is, how they will get together a fund large enough to establish a circuit that will give employment to a large number of performers. William Morris looms up a formidable contender in the vaudeville field because associated with him in his enterprise are theatrical promoters, worth thousands of dollars. Up to this writing the Morris syndicate had leased a number of theatres, while the latest and most authentic information regarding the investment fund is that "the plants of the Investment Fund are rapidly maturing." Of course the reader wants to know what part the Negro performer will play in vaudeville during its present chaotic state. That is, however, a difficult question to answer, for the Negro performer does not know himself. This is one time when he is doing more thinking than talking, for he appreciates that when the time comes he will have to make a stand. From the looks of things the Negro performer is going to transact business on a strictly business basis. Those who can secure good booking through the United Booking office will do so with avidity. Those who have been compelled to stand around the booking offices in the St. James Building day after day without getting work will cast their lot with the Morris people, providing they can secure booking. Then others will take the time offered by the Western, States Circuit, under the direction of Paf Casey, while many ERNEST H have already signed contracts to go abroad for the season. The writer frankly believes better times are in store for vandeville performers, providing Morris does not effect a consolidation with the Keith-Proctor-Williams Hammerstem forces. Death of "Blind Tom." In the death of "Bind Tom" known in two contiments, the United States loses one of its noted characters in the musical world. Of recent years he has not been in the public eye at some time back and many thought him dead. He died Saturday evening at the home of Mrs. Eliza R. Cummings, the master of music at 60 123 street, Delaware, NJ. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon from the funeral chapel of Frank E. Cummings, 214 West 284 street, New York city. "Bind Tom" real name was Thomas Wiggins. Back in the slave days when but two years old he sat beneath the window of his first master, General James Bethune, a Georgia planter, and first heard the sound of a piano. General Bethune one day saw how the music at the plantation played before the piano and bet strike the keys. He was greatly surprised to see him at first hit the keys humly and then, with one finger, play slowly the air he had just heard. General Bethune immediately seated an instructor for the boy and his progress was wonderful. When eight years old General Bethune toured the country with him and later went to Europe. She visited the town during the tour. Later a son organized the pianist's business and made enough money to establish a large racing stable. For many years rumor after rumor had been circulated to the effect that "Blind Tom" was dead. In the late 70s it was first reported that he died of consumption. Later it was reported that he had jumped off a Louis bridge, and that he had perished in the Johnstown town. His last appearance in New York city was in 1901, when he played at the Circle Theatre and thrilled his large audience as in previous years. Three weeks ago he was playing the piano at the home of Mrs. Lerche, the widow of his old master, who has since married. Suddenly he fell to the floor and was struck by a bullet. The doctor was summoned and it was found that his entire right side was paralyzed. Since then he has been unable to play, although he repeatedly tried to do so. He died at the age of 60 years. The Public Against the Playwright. Is the instinct of the crowd more nearly right than the author's psychologist? Such is the question the theatrical world of Paris is trying to decide. The occasion for the debate is the production of a new drama, "Simone" from the pen of Brioux., the ultra modern French playright-moralist, which has been the event of the Parisian civil war. It is a general interest in any case, owing to Brioux's prominence, his radicalism, his disregard for convention, and his use of the stage as a platform to denounce social and moral cells. But "Simone" has proved a veritable sensation for another reason—the author, in view of homosexuality, with his denomination on the part of pre-racial audience, usually wry select and exacting, felt himself constrained to rewrite and change his last act, or the final scenes of it. He, a psychological and philosophical dramatist, has allowed an audience to overrule him on the vital question of his play, to dictate a conclusion appropriate to which his own logic had arrived. Was this a surrender or an act of courage? And was he right, or is the public solution of the problem of the play the correct one, with human nature as it is? one of the hits of the bill at the concert, given last Friday, evening at St. Philip's Church was the song by Miss Alice Heed, in which she was addressed by course. The song was staged by Edgar Cousin and Inga Brown, of the Cole and Johnson Company. Cleo Demond will appear at Henderson's, Coney Island, next week. Hegan Testimonial Assumes More Proportions.

Killebrue, Thursday, June they arrived in They are stopi J. W. White, C. All these questions are still under discussion in French journals. Brieux is convinced that he did the right thing in accepting the psychological verdict of his impartial audience, but he is obliged to admit that the great artists, the writers, masterpieces, do not permit to write their plays at the command of the public. The plot of "Simone," as summarized in Le Fizaro, is as follows: A woman has, betrayed her husband, and he has exercised his "legal" right, as well as the right which earlier dramatists recognized, to kill her. It is generally believed that the woman has committed suicide, but a long conversation in the first act draws out the truth. The husband unfolds, and he becomes a father-in-law and other intimates. There is a tender child in the family, a little girl Simone, and her whole future is at stake in the secret. It must be kept for her sake. Ten years clapie. Simone has grown up and has been the joy and the comfort of her father. Both have been very happy, the girl in her ignorance the inexperienced the inexperienced or remembers the past. Simone is in love, and the fortuneunate girl is even more deeply enamored of her. A betrothed takes plays in the absence of the young man's father, but that gentleman's appearance on the stage is deeply affected by the clouds gather. He begins to offer all manner of explanations for deferring the marriage. The explanations are rather lame and embarrassed; gradually the truth emerges. The boy's father knows the secret to the father's Simone, and is悬疑 to the alliance. A rupture is inevitable, and it occurs then and there. Simone enters and at once finds IOGAN out that something is wrong. Painful questioning and more painful excision. Finally the father tells Simone that the engagement is off, but passion only legs her to swear never to ask him the cause of the affair. He alone is to blame, he admits; he is the author of her misfortune, but precisely in what way he can never reveal. Out of devotion and loyalty to him she makes the promise, but makes it in anguish and sorrow. When the third not opens, the poor girl has learned the bitter truth through the confidences of a sympathizing governess. She knows of her father's guilt, of her mother's sin and terror, she punishment. The former, whom she has always adored, she nowสายสี; she cannot hear his touch, his presence. She is very crush, and here the dramatist in the not as originally written, sought to justify her attitude by morelessly logical reasoning in a long dialogue between father and daughter. The upshot was that the guider could not be forgiven by the girl, and that both must suffer from the tragic wrong that he had committed. It is against this denouement that the audience revolted. It had enthusiastically applauded the first two acts, but the last it rejected with equal emphasis. It thought that the daughter, in the circumstances, must and would forgive the wretched father. And Brieux'an rewriting the final series, makes her forgive. If he writes to Le Figaro, "I have written a play with the intention of convincing thousands of persons, and they resist my solution, it is I who must be wrong." And he adds that there would be no warrant for persisting in an error simply because the public, not professional psychologists, had pointed out the error. An author, like other, people should be willing to learn and profit by spontaneous, honest criticism.—From a translation in the Literary Digest.

WE DO ALL KINDS OF J OF JOB PRINTING ```markdown ``` YOUR TEETH Cincinnati Editor Tells of Trip to Convention City—Cordial Meeting of Ex-Gov. Pinchback and Secretary Tatt W. L. Anderson, the colored printer, who has been in Chicago the past ten days perfecting arrangements for the reception of the Taft League of Cincinnati at Chicago next Week, returned Sunday morning. Mr. Anderson was a constant attendant at the meetings of the National Republican committee while the National contests were being heard and states himself to be amazed at what he observed. He found that in the majority of cases where contests were being made upon the title of "lily whiteism," that the lily white delegations were composed of a large quota of colored men. He also noticed that there was a very evident absence of hostility to Mr. Taft by colored Southerners, who had been viously charged as violently by his nomination. Anderson, Ralph Tyler of Ohio and ex-Gover Pinchback of Louisiana, were together a great deal at the Ninth Committee headquarters, and Messrs. Tyler and Pinchback the speaker ascribed much of the good feeling for Mr. Taft that has been created the governor having passed through all the trying experiences of war times in Louisiana and the period of reconstruction which followed, in a venerable commanding figure in Southern politics. In consequence thereof he had been effective worker in every denial where and at any sentiment existed. One of the striking episodes of the week was when a party of colored men took their respects to Mr. Charles P. Taft. Pinchback was one of the number. Neither had met since the famous convention at Chicago which nominated Grief field in 1880. Even before that had been introduced Mr. Taft stepped forward and there was natural recognition when he extended his hand to Pinchback saying, "My Gov. Pinchback, this is a most delightful surprise." Immediately after the formalities of introduction had been gone, through with Mr. Taft and the governor repaired to the corner of the room, and arm in arm, chatted for fifteen minutes. Twenty-eight years had passed since their first meeting, the governor a man passing his testimony. The remarkable feature of this meeting was in the face of the physical changes which had undergone, the recognition mutual. This was a rare instance of retentive memory. Anderson declares in very positive language against the reports being sent broadcast by the allies from Chicago that Taft's nomination means the defection of the Negro vote from the Republican party at least not if ante-concession of intention is assured by the delegates with whom he discussed the situation. He also very emphatically denies a story published by a local paper that he is engaged in recruiting Negroes to go to Chicago to boost Taft convention week. "Why," he said smilingly, "it would be a sad lack of originality on my part to attempt the purporting of the alliance stock in trade. Chicago is full of paid boom boom, but they happen not to delegates, and I cannot see the necessity of my adding any more pathos to a situation now all too tear-inspiring—a voteless noise. The Taft League shall attend the convention to aid in the general Taft ratification, and despite the reports to the contrary, the name of Taft will meet with a responsive and enthusiastic reception by the convention schedule in the history of party gatherings. Best of all, the colored brother will be there with voice and gesture to lend unanimity to the party call for Ohio's honored son, W. H. Taft, to lead us on to victory." Arkansas Unsurvair Domperm Real Estate and Gold Mining Syndicate, 208-8 Broadway, New York City, By William H. Ferris. Human history has been dominated by two things; the quest for bread, and the quest for human rights. Westward the course of Empire has taken its way. Thousands of years ago the ancestors of the great Teutonic branch of the Aryan race left their homes in Asia, and wandered with their flocks and herds; finally they settled in the forests of Germany, and into the Sea. Fifteen hundred years ago they began to invade and conquer Britain. Three hundred years ago they began to colonize America. One hundred years ago the American pioneers began to cross the prairies and plant towns and cities in the Middle West and along the Pacific coast. The result has been that the various branches of the Aryan race have during the past two thousand years populated and developed the agricultural resources of Europe and North America and Australia who have demilitated and controlled the estates in the Asia, Africa alone remote from the centers of civilization has not felt the breath of modern progress. Her resources alone have remained undeveloped. And yet the Negroes in ancient Thebes reached a very high degree and state of civilization. Ancient Thebes had a population of three millions and five hundred thousand, mostly colored folks. Herodotus said that the world put in the field a half a million lightful men, and the black people of ancient Thebes built the Hystopte Hall at Katnuck, devoted to the tombs of the kings opposite Luxor and raised the Mormon. Colossus, when the ancestors of the proud Auglo Saxons were running as savages in the German forests, painting their bodies with wood at choking up human lives as sardioxes at Prudence. The men of the Greeks, an undeveloped people were humbly sitting at the rest of Egypt and learning the rudiments of mathematics and theirلغم، and who the Parthenon of Greenland and the Colosium of Rome, when the middle stages on the Aeropolis and the Appian way of Rome were not even removed. The Negroes in Africa were smelting of, when the rest of mankind was using stone womens and beginning to utilize bronze impulses. So while Africa has been the last coloured to quiver with the throes of modern commercial life, she was the first continent to produce a civilization. Fifty years ago European men began to look long and longingly toward Africa, and began to reap harvests from her invertebr her gold and her diamonds. Cecil Rhodes the De Beers and Beit have piled up colorful fortunes in Africa, but now at last colorful men in America are now beginning to respond to the calls and demands of the modern age. A syndicate of colored females with Alfred C. Cowan, the eminent attorney and counsel, at their head, is planning to develop the agricultural and mineral resources of the dark continent. On the gold coast of Africa, south of Liberia and Sierra Leone, lies the promenade of the Atlantic, under the British Protectorate, the Akasan, Neukwar and Dompen properties are located, covering 12,800 acres of land, twenty square miles. A few years ago an English firm agreed to work the gold mines there, and divide the profits with the natives, but they left Accra, Africa, one fine morning with several thousand ounces of gold taken from properties in other parts of this province, in June, 1907, and that was the last ever seen by the natives of the English firm. Mr. Christopher B. Netty, an educated native of Acra, went to England for the purpose of getting the money or getting the men. He got neither; returning to Acra, discouraged and ashamed of Hon. George W. Ellis, Secretary of the Legation at Liberia. He intersted Mr. Ellis in the property, and asked him if he could not refer him to some American colored men of prestige, wealth and standing. Mr. Ellis in 1803 put him in communication with the most successful colored lawyers of New York City. For two years Mr. Cowan considered the matter. Finally in March, 1807, he sent Professor William H. Smenston, a graduate of the Columbia College, to the University of Virginia to expiate his "successful experience, who went to Acra, Africa, to investigate, and who made a favorable report. The properties that Mr. Cowan has a three years' option on, contain gold mines and cocoa and rubber plantations. They are about eighty miles from Accra. In the bush of Africa, which has been the headquarters of the British Gold Coast Protectorate since 1877. Ten English, French and German firms make Accra their shipping point and center, and nearly two million dollars' worth of gold, cocoa and rubber are annually exported from Accra. And there are thousands of acres of land, with rubber cocoa and gold, on the gold coast, near Accra, Africa, which awaits European and American capital to develop its wonderful resources, and the natives are entreatying the American Negro to invest, their money there and participate in the great opportunities for reaping the fortunes to be gained by developing Africa. On April 20, a mammoth meeting was held in the Turner Tarnacle, Atlanta, Ga., at which Bishop H. M. Turner, the senior Bishop of the A. M. E. Church, Rev. I. L. Lippier, President of Morris Brown University, Rev. J. Harber, Dr. Samuel Neal, Rev. C. M. Manning, and Rev. P. J. Bryant were advertised to speak. Other meetings will soon be held in New York City, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Virginia and Georgia. Some of the committee are: Bishop Alexander Walters, Hon. George Ellis of Mourne Africa; F. Leopold Hyman, New Jersey; Hon. J. W. Grant, Tenn.; Dr. Henry L. Hummons, Ind.; James L. Fox, New York; Silaga W. Moldrell, New York; Hon. John E. Brue, New York, and Edgar J. Holmes, or New Jersey; Rev. Dr. Taylor, of Elizabethtown, N. J.; Rev. Dr. Taylor of Elizabeth, N. J.; and Rev. Dr. Haynes of New Rochelle, N. X. All further inquiries for subscriptions for interim certificates for stock can be addressed to Counsellor Alfred C. Cowan. 291 Broadway, New York City. A licensed social, religious, political or financial, groups around some individual, whose insight sees the end, whose constructive genius utilizes the means for the realization of the end and whose sanity, tact, judgment, discretion and ready sympathy are needed. A licensed man is Counsellor anywhere in America where wise ad business man of integrity, of character. This company intends to invest money not only in Africa, but to invest money in and develop property in New York and anywhere in America where wise and skilled people are available, it will be the means of opening up profitable avenues of employment to hundreds of bright, ambitions colored boys and girls, men and women who as stenographers, clerks and agents, will be given open opportunity to make money and use the skills they have acquired by their own efforts and by the toil and self sacrifice of ambitious parents. This is the first attempt of colored men to develop the gold mines and cocoa rubber plantations in Africa on a large scale. If the attempt succeeds it will not only make the promoters stockholders and subscribers rich, but it will be the greatest monument yet erected to the constructive and creative genius of the Negro race. Such a grand and glorious undertaking is well worth risking a few dollars on. The greatness of the Anglo-Saxon race has resided upon the fact that it was inhabited upon the island. Its soil but it branched out and went to American, Australia, Asia and Africa, prospecting and colonizing and taking a chance of losing in order to make a hundred dollars. Many lives were lost and fortunes sacrificed in the attempt to find the Eldorado, the fabled gold regions in the interior of South America. But the adventurous Europeans pressed on. They did not find the Eldorado, but of Mexico, Peru and California. And who can tell but that the gold const, coon and rubber plantations of Africa will reward the Negro's toil and labor as the mines of Mexico, Peru and California, and forsests of America have enriched the European and American prospectors and adventurers, and therefore it behoves every Negro who has the interest that black children should do something else besides being hewers of wood and drawers of water, to put their money in this proposition and give as fully and as韧 as they their pocket-throats will allow and permit. A man never gets rich by putting his money in banks or insurance companies, but by developing the agricultural and mineral wealth locked up in the soil, and by developing the hard-pressed pick, his axe, his shovel, machines, and begins to cut and dig and plant and saw and reap and harvest and set up his machines, and we are then getting down to the basic principles of political economy. The wealth of the world is in the ground where God put it, that is where the white man has gone, but the Negro, instead of going to Georgia and the ground, has gone to the black man is waking up and is now going where the white man has gone for his wealth, to God and mother earth. The committee has prepared an elegant prospectus which gives the facts and presents the case in an interesting way. This may be had upon application at the office of the company. Every person who believes in race effort and the accomplishment of results should either call and get a prospectus or send for one and subscribe to the support of this company.
