VOL. XXI. No. 39 REPUBLICANS FOR Consistent Friend of Negr ment of the W TAFT'S RUNNING M Interesting Pen Pictures of a Brill —"I am for Taft," Says For Together in a Spirit of Harm The Republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the American Negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes to-day that his noteworthy progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or col- WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT or; we declare, once more, and without reservation, for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments to the constitution, which were designed for the protection and advancement of the Negro, and we condemn all devices that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reason of color alone, as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law. After declaring for the enforcement without reservation, of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and naming William H. Tait, of Ohio, and James S. Sherman, of New York, as the standard bearers of the Republican party in the coming National election, the Republican National Convention, held in Chicago, concluded its labors and adjourned sine die last Friday. Adjournment was taken and thus ended a convention that will live for many years to come in the minds of hundreds of Republicans who attended such a memorable gathering. True to the forecasts given out weeks ago by those who claimed to know, William H. Taft was nominated for President of the United States with votes to spare. At no time during the convention from Tuesday until the nomination for President was made did it look other than a selection of the distinguished Ohioan on the first ballot. Of the 980 votes polled William H. Taft received 702 on the first ballot and his nomination was later made unanimous. Congressman James S. Sherman was nominated for Vice-President on the first ballot. He received 816 of the 980 votes of the convention. Of Secretary Taft so much has been written about his rise to become one of the foremost men of the nation that it is hardly necessary to give a sketch of him. However the following pen picture is given of his running mate: James Schoolcraft Sherman has THE AG in. Utica, N. Y., Oct. 24, 1855. He graduated from Hamilton College in 1878 and was admitted to the bar in 1880. He was mayor of Utica in 1884 and chairman of the State Republican Committee in 1895. From 1887 to 1891 he represented the twenty-third New York district in congress. In 1893 he was elected to congress from the twenty-fifth district and served for 10 years. In 1903 he was elected to congress from the twenty-seventh district. His present term expires in 1909. He is president of the Utica Trust and Deposit Co. THE NEW YORK TIMES h w n m p t Mr. Sherman is a member of Speaker Cannon's house organization, and a majority member of the committee on rules, which controls all the legislation in the house by its power to dictate rules of procedure. He is also chairman of the committee on Indian Indians, for the framing of legislation affecting Indians in the states and territories in which they live. In the house, Mr. Sherman is the official political orator and manufacturer of campaign oratory for his party. He is recognized as a leader of the reactionary Republicans, opposed to the Roosevelt-Taft ideas. Mr. Sherman was champion of the exposition appropriations for the St. Louis world's fair. He spent a great portion of the summer in the city during the fair and became well known here. Mr. Sherman is 5 feet 8 inches tall, is 50 years old and rather heavy set. He wears burnsides, which are bright red in color.

"With very best wishes, believe me, my dear Senator, Sincerely yours, WILLIAM H. TAFT." "Dear Mr. Secretary: "My Dear Senator: "I Am for Taft," says Foraker. "Until the convention made a nomination, every Republican had a right to have a choice," said Senator Foraker to night, after hearing of the nomination of Secretary Taft for the presidency; "but now it is no longer a question of men but a question of party. In this way Secretary Taft becomes my candidate for the presidency, and while under the circumstances I can probably do but little, yet I shall do all I can to help him. Republicans will now quit quarreling among themselves and turn all their guns on the enemy." That brand of harmony—the kind that makes Republican presidents every four years, will again prevail in the G. O. P. during the coming presidential election and make William H. Taft and James S. Sherman President and Vice-President, respectively, of the United States. The big Chicago convention had hardly completed its work and adjourned before the leaders of the different factions were getting together to secure the election of the Republican nominees. Those who were candidates in the field for the presidential nomination and who were opposed to the selection of Secretary Taft, seeking the nomination, themselves, have all announced their intentions of working hard for the party selection. In accord with the spirit of harmony that is being shown on every hand, the Negro voters, throughout the country have rallied around the Republican banner and declare they will help elect the next President of the United States. Even those who have been the most radical and who have been seeking the nomination of Senator Foraker now assert that as the fight for the nomination is over they will follow in the footsteps of their favorite for the nomination—Senator Foraker—and vote the Republican ticket. Directly after Secretary Taft was nominated "Uncle Joe" Cannon said: "The compliment paid me by my friends in the convention is indeed inspiring. It is an honor which is the highest one American can pay to another, and I hardly know how to express my gratitude. I feel just like I can safely predict, as all the other defeated candidates will do, that the PRESIDENT RO TRIBUTE TO I feel that the country is inde- him intimately for many years, and worked for the same object, with I do not believe there could be not only absolutely fearless, absol- nation's needs without and within an phatically a president of the plain p taint of demagogy, the least tendency extensive knowledge of and sympath of the business man, of the property.

No matter what a man's occupation or social position, no matter what his creed, his color, or the section of country from which he comes, if he is an honest, hard-working man, who tries to do his duty toward his neighbors and toward the country, he can rest assured that he will have in Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and the most fearless of champions.

HAPPENINGS AT THE CONVENTION Negro Agitators Exhibit a Spirit of Lawlessness FINE SOCIAL FEATURES Quinn Chapel Scene of Elaborate Banquet—Taft Club Glives a Twenty Mile Auto Ride—First Regiment Armory Reception CHICAGO, June 23.—The Great National Convention has come and passed into history. The week of preparation, as well as the week of the sessions themselves, have been filled to overflowing with stirring events, over-wrought passions and dramatic incidents. But all that has happened is now a part of general information. There are some things, however, of more than passing interest and deserve to be told in behalf of the thousands of readers for whom The Age is the only source of information as to what is going on in the outside word. The brother-in-black has played his part during the week, some of it creditably, and some of it otherwise. Negro Democrats of Boston came to the scene of the Convention early and proceeded at once to make themselves heard. They held a great variety of indignation meetings, one church, that opened its doors to them and one hall, every night. For the most part these meeting were largely attended, partly because they had in them a good deal of the circus element. Some men of respectable standing were caught up in the whirlwind of passion and found themselves in a place where they did not belong. The indignation quality of the red hot speeches increased in intensity as the time for the Convention approached. To be more specific several of these colored agitators went so far in their utterances as to threaten colored men with "Kuklux" methods of punishment and even lynchings if they supported Secretary Taft. Others openly and violently asserted that if Mr. Taft was nominated they would vote the Demo- PROOSEVELT PAYS TO THE REPUBLIC indeed to be congratulated upon the nomination and I have a peculiar feeling for him, because with the same purposes and ideals.

Mr. Taft broad principles of American citizenship w cratic ticket including Heffin, Vardaman, Tillman, Jeff. Davis, and every other had thing. In other words, by their incendiary speeches they cultivated a spirit of lawlessness which had in it the real Southern Democratic brand. One could clearly see the spirit of lawlessness grow while these agitators were in our midst. Quinn Chapel, the largest and finest chapel among the colored people in the West was innocently the scene of two shameless exhibitions of Negro Democratic vandalism. Under the leadership of Mr. John G. Jones of this city, a meeting was called in the day time to organise a brand new "Colored Republican League." When the Negro Democrats from the East heard of this they arranged for an immediate assault upon the infant League. One hundred and fifty of them invaded Mr. Jones camp, captured him bodily, put him out doors, and proceeded to take the meeting by the throat, as it were, and began to sing anti-Tait hallelujahs to Foraker. It was the most fantastic, unseemly and meanly-Democratic trick ever played in a house of worship. These same Eastern realists, some of them Christians, ministers (?), knowing that the citizens had arranged for a big reception and banquet in honor of the visiting delegates and their friends, determined that no such meeting should be held. This threat was carried out by some of its emissaries breaking into the basement of the church and cutting off a large part of the electric cable so that the thousands coming to the church would find themselves in darkness. It was a most embarrassing scene. RATULATION THE POSITION DR. B. T. WASHINGTON SENDS CONGRATULATIONS TO SEC. TAFT DR. B. T. WASHINGTON SENDS CONGRATULATIONS TO SEC. TAFT Among the hundreds of telegrams of congratulation received by Secretary Taft was one from Dr. Booker T. Washington which read as follows: "Hearty congratulations and good wishes." "Booker T. WASHINGTON, Tuskegee, Ala." Later his letter following the telegram, read: "My Dear Secretary Taft: "Most hearty and sincere congratulations. You more than deserve it all. I feel quite sure you will be triumphantly elected to the presidency, and that my race will assist in bringing about that result." but the Edison Company quickly came to the rescue of the church and in due time a glorious flood of white light revealed an audience that filled every nook and corner of the vast auditorium. These incidents are but a sample of what the leading Demoorats of Boston, Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York brought to Chicago. The local newspapers gave much space to these ugly doings and their effect has been to discredit us in the eyes of people who do not compromise with lawlessness. One peculiar thing about these invaders is that they had an ample supply of money, and another peculiar thing is that the money they had and spent in an attempt to scare the Republican Convention was money which they had never earned. It is to be hoped that the money was paid wholly for the cause they were paid to champion. To show how thoroughly fictitious was the boasting of these invaders it is only necessary to say that on the night after Mr. Taft was nominated, a widely advertised meeting to be held in one of the churches turned out to be a genuine frost. There were not enough people present to create an echo. But there is a brighter side to this picture of Convention events. The city was thronged as never before by interesting colored people. It is literally true that there were visitors from every section of the country. The coming together of these people was was an indication of their deep interest in the things that the party might do or try to do by law and politics for the greater security of their citizenship rights. The list of Negro men and women who had gained some little distinction is much larger than it used to be, and a goodly number of them were who showed every sign of progress and prosperity, and an interesting interest in all the things that make for the weal of the Negro. Among the interesting things may be mentioned: First—On Monday night, June 15th, Quinn Chapel was thronged as it has seldom been thronged in its eventful history. The large number of strangers gave the meeting the appearance of an interstate gathering. On the platform were such notable men as ex- IS GLOWING AMCAN NOMINEE nation of Mr. Taft.

They were all received with every manifestation of pride and interest. Even at, this meeting some hissing was attempted by the Anti-Tait followers. Adelbert H. Roberts, the young, man eloquent of the West, was master of ceremonies and introduced various speakers who in turn were received with every evidence of appreciation.

This is the comment heard on every side anent the standard-bearers put forward by the Chicagb convention. Although the triumphant nomination of Secretary Taft was no surprise to his friends it was none the less gratifying, and was a welcome end of a long and nerve-racking contest. The contestants were all men of the first rank in public affairs and the victory, while tallying JAMES SCHOOLCRAIT SHERMAN with the logic of the situation, called forth the best efforts of the most skillful political managers in the Republic. The outcome is an unqualified endorsement of President Roosevelt's wonderfully successful administration, a happy vindication of his constructive policies and a tribute to his wisdom as a prophet, as well as a fitting recognition of the lofty character, faithful public services, rare executive capacity and masterly achievements of the man who has stood nearest to the President throughout his career in the White House.

Among the rank and file of the race, even among those who two months ago threatened to bolt the ticket if he headed it, there is a disposition to accept him that would be surprising had it not been generally known in advance that the racket was being raised by a few noisy henchmen of the Democrats and all the allied opposition, and that the P. socalled antipathy to him was only skin-deep, needing nothing but the hall-mark of the party's approval in the national convention to bring the race solidly to his standard. Interviews with the erstwhile "antis" indicate that they are coming into line, and as the campaign approaches all wounds will be healed, and a united Negro race will be found facing the common enemy—the cohorts of Bryan, Tillman, Heflin, Vardaman and Jeff, Davis.

Mr. S. Laing Williams was coast-master and Mr. W. H. H. Moore, one of the early writers of Tug Ace proved himself a good second of Mark Twain. His delicate railery and wit- ciams kept the banqueters in a happy mood. On the afternoon of June 16th, the Colored Men's Taft Republican Club accorded the delegates a rare treat. With a half dozen touring automobile cars, they were given a twenty-mile ride through the beautiful parks and boulevards of the city. Quite a hundred delegates enjoyed this outing. The crowning event of the week, however, was the full dress reception at the First Regiment Armory under the command of Col. J. R. Marshall. The occasion drew one of the largest and one of the most interesting companies of colored people that has ever been witnessed in this country anywhere. The appearance of the men in their stunning uniforms, their military bearing, and their military maneuverings kept the vast concourse of people in a state of delightful excitement. Truly the world is moving and the colored people are advancing faster than even they themselves are conscious of. All this that I have mentioned belong to the new and better era of the Negro life in America. The yellow streak of hawkness referred to was more than offset by the interesting exhibitions of the more progressive life of the colored people. I scarcely need speak of the Convention itself. The colored delegates were members, of all the great committees by which the Convention reached its ultimate purpose. It was the colored orator from Atlanta, Ga., who by his thrilling address brought the Convention to its senses and refused to adopt the plank providing for the reduction of Southern delegates to future Republican Conventions. The other colored orator, W. O. Emory, who seconded the nomination of Foraker, delivered a fine address which captured the Convention. The colored people generally, so far as they have expressed themselves, were well satisfied with the outcome. The plank relating to the Negro question was considered the strongest and most uncompromising utterance that has ever been written into a Republican platform. The following resolution was prepared by the Colored Taft League and sanctioned by a large number of delegates and which was in part adopted: "The Negro citizens of this country constituting so large a part of the Republican party, North and South alike, smarting under the proscriptive laws enacted and enforced by a number of states in violation of the Constitution, believe that the Republican party should give expression in its platform in no certain terms, respecting these conditions: * the undersigned, therefore respectfully urge: * That the Republican National Convention in its platform pledge the Republican party to the enforcement of the three great war amendments; the enactments of appropriate legislation to effectuate them, and the abolishment of the Democratic methods and practices of disfranchisement of the Negro in the South. "That the abhorent and debasing Negroes when traveling in certain states, both as inter- and intrastate passengers, be condemned as un-American and in violation of the civil rights guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the land. We greatly appreciate the effort of President Roosevelt in this behalf, and ask that the Republican party through its platform commit itself to the further employment of every legal means for the enforcement of the Constitution and laws in this regard. That the system of peonage practiced in certain states be thoroughly investigated, and that the Department of Justice continue to institute vigorous prosecution in every case where violation of the laws is found to exist." Some of the lighter social affairs are deserving of special mention because it gave a touch of brightness to the more serious events of the week. Mrs. S. S. Paul gave a delightful reception in honor of her friend Miss Newton, of New York City. The beautiful parlor, were dressed with elegantly gowned ladies from this city and abroad.

Atens Last Thursday evening at St. Mark's Lyceum was woman's night, and the feminine element carried things their way all the evening. It was the meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Nebraska of lady friends of the club, together with the usual Lyceum, turned out to do honor to the women. At the meeting, the Ladies' Auxiliary was taken into the Northeastern Federation number of representatives from the club to welcome the Auxiliary. Most of the speakers were women who are well known in the business and professional world. The program, which was opened with the usual song service and devotional exercises, conducted by the Lyceum. After the short song service the program was turned over to Miss I. L. Moorman, who presided. Miss I. Moorman is a very successful business lady of Brooklyn, and presided with much dignity. The program was opened with a song entitled "Advancing," sung to the tune of "America," composed by one of the members of the program, followed by a piano soli by Prof. Leon S. Adger, and a recitation by Miss Kennedy, of Brooklyn. The next number was a vocal solo by Miss Clara Moyer, composed by Miss Nissen and Miss Moorman then presented as the first speaker Mrs. J. O. Hubbard, secretary of the Women's Auxiliary. In an interview short story, she between times given her she could not begin to tell of the work the League was doing. Mrs. Hubbard's address was followed by Mrs. Moyer, who gave the Northeastern Federation Women's Clubs. Her speech was the address of welcome to the Northwestern clubs. Mrs. Wiley said among other things that it had gave her great pleasure in the Northeastern Federation Women's Clubs. She told of the work of the Federation and what it had done for the promotion of the social, moral and spiritual life occasion was one of great importance, as it has been said that women figure so small in the arts and sciences. This meeting, she continued will give the Northeastern Federation is only twelve years old, and has a large future of usefulness before it. She referred to the next meeting which meets in August in Norwich, where from two to three hundred delegates will be present. Her address was very much enjoyed by the bodies of the Auxiliary, who considered the great North eastern Federation. After Mrs. Wiley's address of welcome to the Federation Miss Moorman presented Mrs. A. W. Hunton, the Nassau County Mrs. Hunton is an interesting and charming speaker, and told in a convincing manner of the work among colored women of this country. She described the country, and was particularly pleased at the effective club movement among the colored women. She referred to the good work the club movement had done in opposing the kindergarten among colored children. She said the club movement in this country marks a new era for the colored women of America. She described the general up-lift of humanity. Her address was very much enjoyed. She was followed by Mrs. M. C. Lawton, editor and journalist of Brooklyn. Mrs. Lawton women by saying that they were among the leaders and that they have entered every profession. In every school and university of the world, the women are in scholarships. She said there was a larger field for women than in the homes. Mrs. Lawton is a good speaker, and made an interesting address. Mrs. Lawton was also pleased by a sold by Miss L. L. Moorman. The meeting was closed by a few remarks from the chair in telling of the future plans of the Auxiliary. She said at the reservation, Mrs J. Johnson, who would be given for the benefit of the League. The meeting closed, and the women filled out with an air of triumph over the success of their meeting. It was an interesting meeting of a group of women who had last Sunday afternoon at St Marks Lyceum - Educational Day - Mr. Cleveland G. Allen presided. The educational relation was discussed by Mr. Johnson, who was a student from Africa, Mr. H. H. Harrison and Mrs. A. W. Hinton, secretary of Y. W. C. A. Next Thursday evening the closing meeting of the Lyceum will be held. Professors will be for interested time along the social lines. All are invited to be present. The Lyceum will conduct a singing class through the summer months. Quite a few young men and women have joined. Time is expected through the summer. The Lyceum will resume its regular business in September. A good program has been neglected in the administration was very successful during the past year, and is to be congratulated on the character of programs read-rel. They are not only useful but also useful and are reflective, credit in the past administration. At the Young Men's Christian Association the son of one of the same brothers was invited to the university was crowded with an eager gathering of young men who entered to the interesting address of Rev. Dr. Church. The program was opened with the usual song service and devotional exercises conducted by Secretary T. J. Bell. The music was especially with the choirs from Jersey city. The Extras made one of his characteristic dresses, and left a deep impression on the singing speaker, and never fails to be an impression which is lasting.

Paris Concerning the Benefit for the White Rose Mission It is nothes for me to say that the benefit given in behalf of the White Rose Mission was a success. That fact is not to say that the mission, but I to say a few words concerning the financial end of it. In the first place I want to thank the public and the press for the support they gave me in the work of the mission, but I also prove myself more worthy of their appreciation. And it is because the public was so interested in the affair that some of the work of the mission some to know what amount was given to the White Rose Industrial Association and what some of the expenses amounted to: Central Palace $250.00 Printing $220.00 Craig's orchestra $105.00 Wardrobe $350.00 Paper Ads $140.00 Props for stage $15.00 Hall for rehearsal $10.00 Small expenses $18.00 Cup and Engraving $6.00 Orchestrations $25.00 Total $1,175.25 Commentary tickets $2 for advertisements. Five hundred dollars was given to the mission, for which the committee was most grateful and expressed the hope that the people who supported the affair, I want to thank Mr. McPearson, of the Gotham-Mutts Music Publishing Company, for his services. Though a man of great intellect and worked very hard to make the affair a success, Mr. Jack Nail, Jr., was not inconsistent in supporting the affair, so much so that he use his own money to buy the tickets, but think and talk benefit. "Now here I am, Mrs. Walker, selling tickets for this benefit when I should be pulling off a deal to sell the Flat Iron Buildings, so that all he could be forgive that he would for real estate and was selling tickets instead of property. I thank him so much because the heartfelt interest he displayed meant so much toward Mr. William Voderey, of Philadelphia, was very kind and so much more than a teacher. Being an arranger of music and a director, his time counts for much. Still he gave up many hours in behalf of his students, and he directed, hours that might have been of financial value to him. When a person forges money matters and listens to the advice of a person deserves much credit. Mr. Voderey's success in life seems assured, as he has started in life to live and his ability is much greater than his prior. The ladies of the Williams and Walker Company deserve so much credit. They had just finished a long season, and it was time to rest, but they were only too glad to be of service to some women less fortunate than themselves. Much trespass rehearsing was necessary, but they made me feel it was a pleasure to them. With the right spirit and a good cause to inspire us, they were all over they go to spend their vacations with bitter hearts, feeling that they have been kind and liberal-minded to a community that has encouraged them very little in their work. But as we live we learn to take other better and womanly priorities in time be bound to be appreciated. Mrs. Williams came from Philadelphia to assist in the affair by donation to the mission. Mrs Williams proceed to the mission. It was very ill, but was determined, if possible to be present to sell the flowers here. Mrs Williams did with the kind assistance from New York and I wish to say this is one of the many charitable acts Mrs. Williams has done. I wish to thank the programmers also for their assistance. Mrs. Williams Stark, Mrs. Nettle Black, Mrs. Carlinfield, Mrs. Lathian Marshall Regarding Mr. D. E. Tobias much deserved praise has been given.

Reaching the demanded among the major people for an educated ministry, the Titikage - Normal and Industrial Institute conducts in connection with its other departments a Bible Training School. The courses of study are so arranged that not only ministers and business may be benefited, but they also work or become intelligent Sunday school teachers. The chief aim of the Bible Training School is to afford a comprehensive knowledge of the English Bible and to implant in the hearts of those who attend an animation and Christianization of their people. Daily supplementary exercises designed to instill habits of sobriety, cleanliness, regularity and accuracy are provided. The teaching is wholly undemonstrational, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any student but instead to assist all denominations. During the past year the enrollment in the Bible Training School has been satisfactory but the opportunity is now available for a considerably larger number of teaching is free. The cost of board, including furnished room, light, fuel, laundering, etc. is $5.50 per month. The entrance fee is $7.00, to be paid in cash by each student when he registers. Students will be given the opportunity to work out much of the work required. A lack of means should not keep any one from entering the Bible school. If the student is not afraid of work and study he will succeed. For further information address BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Principal. TASKERGE institute, Alabama, June 25, 1990.

Graduate with Unusual Honors and Excellence in Quotients To Tndz Pediatrics. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 24—Arthur Lew Curtis, eldest son of Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Curtis, of this city, has achieved an unusually large number of gratifying triumphs during a brilliant hampion, Mass. Young Mr. Curtis was graduated with honors last week from this famous school, winning the first prize of $50 in the contest for the Dickerton, leading the team of the Adelphi Debating Society against the Gamma Sigma team. At the Seniors' day exercises he carried off the prize of $15 offered by Mr. Willis Ward-Ferry, of the University of Oregon,oration delivered that day. His theme, "The Immigration Problem," is said by the judge to have been handled in a masterly manner, evoking frequent applause for its studious tone and the earnest delivery. Last year young Curtis surprised the faculty of the Seminary and, his own host of friends by winning the Amberts first time such a feat had been achieved by a debater of the junior class. Though he is the only colored member of the class that graduated from the first class, his liston has been phenomenally successful, and he has at all times been treated with the highest respect by faculty and students. He has made his way most prominently both in the athletic field, the "Log Book" of the school, which prints an excellent half-tone of the young man, along with the eminent classmates who complimentary accrues to Mr. Curtis, and at the same time gives him his quota of the humorous sallies and editorial suits that go with the "took" Curtis entered the second year classical course as an honor man, and has served in turn as secretary, treasurer, vice president and president of the Adelphia Contested Debates as the representative of the Adelphia debating team; he has participated in the A. L. and J. P. Williston "twenty" throughout his three years at the Seminary, and ice on the class truck team, football, baseball and basketball teams. As a result of his splendid record and his signal victories in the oratorical contests, Mr. Curtis was offered two years of graduate school as Browning University and Amherst, but being ambitions to climb to the topmost round of the medical profession—to follow in the footsteps of his distinguished father-young Curtis declined those ad-directed plans to put in four years of study in a first-class college of medicine in this country and then take two years of advanced work abroad. There is no doubt that a brilliant future awaits this young man, and thoroughness Young man. Dr. and Mrs. Curtis attended the commencement exercise at Easthampion and witnessed the award of the honor, and had been so richly earned by their son. YONKERS PANTOR SURPRISED At the A. M. E.

WASHINGTON, June 12.—Howard University not only stands pre-eminent among us for the education of teachers, but also gives itself in a special way to the training of teachers and is planning to do larger work in this line in the near future. Through its teachers' college plans for year round faculty, we will be July 1 to July 31, under the direction of Dr. L. B. Moore, dean of the teachers' college. Those courses are offered which will be most helpful to teachers, such as psychology, school management, theory and prague, mathematics, English, literature, nature study and millinery. The summer school at Howard adds a feature of great importance to the teachers' college, which was organized to prepare teachers for the purpose of preparing high grade professional teachers for the elementary and secondary schools. This is the first school among us which is a substantial advantage over the other schools throughout the South, which cannot furnish such opportunities as are given at Howard-University. Though only eight years old, the teachers' college has an alumni list of over 1000 students. It is located in kindergarten, grammar schools and high schools. The present day demand in education is for the well trained professional teacher who is what the teachers would be for in its regular and summer courses. Norwalk Notes. Rev. D.

FISK UNIVERSITY. We have noted with considerable in- terest the excellent exercises in con- nection with the closing of Fisk Usi- versity. Fisk University is one of the oldest, an most honorabie, and most usiul institutions. We are glad to note that under the presidency of Dr. J. G. Merriit the University has more than held its own. Dr. Merrit is wide- awake, always secking to further the interest of the: Negro race in any way that he can. He is one of the old type of Northern people who make no dis- tinction ‘of color. Witte pradent and constreative, he is at the sim time coutageous in all matters wherever courage is demanded in connection with the elevation of the Negro race. MOULD STICK TO THE MAIN THING During the coming months the “at- anosphere is ging to be fitted with poli vical excitement and discussion from fone end of the land to the other, but our poopie should not be taken off their feet by such excitement and discussion; as American citizens they have a right to take’a reasonable part in political activities, but there are other things that are of much more valine to us as 4 people than political activity in this or that direction, “We need more than ali ches property, education, high moral and religious character, and a firm foot fold ia the bus ness life of or comanan- nies, These are che most important things.

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES... | Dering the past few months, as our readers have noticed; we have devoted eonsiderable space to reporting of the commencenients and other exercises in connection with our institutions of learning throrighout the country. We Live done this free of cost for the pur- fuse of encouraging our educational in- stitutions to do their best work. We mean to give more attention, in the future, to educational work than we have in thecpast. We. hope that each institution will plan during the sum- mer to do still better work next season. Nothing is more encouraging in con- nection with the Afro-American peopte, than to note their constant interest in education, A YLAIN DUTY IN EVERY COm- ‘mesiTy. There is ons crying, pressing and ever urgent need in every community in the South, and in mariy other parts of the contr; where -any considerable proportion of Negroes live; we refer to a well kept and a well arranged res- tourant of hotel. The accommodations provided in magy communities for eat- ug and Sleeping are not only miserable Int diygracful. There are at feast enough wide-awake- business men in every community to take hold of this miatter and sce that a remedy is brought about for the present weakness. A community that hag set the example for many others, is Norfolk, Va.c whera’a kentleman by the name of Mr. LW. Rright, has. in our opinion, what ‘we regard as. the best all-round hotel and restaurant of any man in the country. Even the City of Washington is dis- couragingly behind in the matter of a restaurant and hotel. In fact, with all the brains and boasted culture that the City of Washington ia ssid to possess, there is not a decent hotel kept by 2 Negro-in the city. This is shamefal.

If those persons North and South who actually desire a ‘Fightcous adjustment of these conditions would: grasp the’ fact that this is the real situation to be met, and cease so much idle and incendiary’ talk of “Force Bills,” and reduction of represeitation, much needless race and sectional feeling would be averted, a sane and settled policy of dealing. or rather refraining from dealing. with Negro suffrage in the South would be. reached, with bright prospects for ltimate satisfac tion for all concerned.—Philadelphia Pitot RETROSPECT OF THE CONVENTION | Retuencd to. the Pathe of Pelttient: Recttade. a Curcacs, June 23—The big Repub- jlican convention has com and has gone the way of wl mundaime things.” The |aitermath of a week, strenuous and im- pressive in the trend of large happen- ings, 3S now with us and we are pre- paring to settle down to the humdrum routine that always comes Uetween the closing of the party convention and the opening of the campaign to éleet the nominees.

Mr. Taft I well know and admire him very much. He is a man who can be relied upon to carry out the policies that have characterized our greatest presidents. I sincerely hope that a strong, conservative man will be chosen for the second place. Regarding Secretary Taft's nomination, former Treasurer Leslie M. Shaw recently said: "There is no more lovable character in public life than William H. Taft. He will be elected easily and the country will prosper under his administration. "Only small men ever attempt to imitate, and they always fail. There never was and never will be an exception. Taft is a big man with high ideals, lofty purposes, a very marked individuality and ability to back them all. Therefore, as a citizen and as a Republican, I am happy. "The administration of Theodore Roosevelt will pass into history as one of the best, as it is certainly the most popular and universally approved of all time, and his name will ever stand among the great of earth. Meantime we, the people, will gather around a new president, believing in him for his own sake and supporting his policies because they are worthy of support. Hurrah for Taft." Following were some of the telegrams received by Secretary Taft after his nomination: "Hon. William H. Taft, Washington, D. C.; You have been nominated as candidate by the Republican National Convention. I heartily congratulate you. You will be elected by the people in November. Illinois will cast her electoral vote for you. Whatever I can do for your success and that of the party will be done. J. G. CANNON." "Hon. W. H. Taft, Washington, D. C—Accept my most cordial congratulations upon your nomination and best wishes for a successful administration. C. W. FAIRBANKS." "Secretary W. H. Taft, Washington, D. C—I sincerely congratulate you on the result at Chicago, Pennsylvania, as usual, will head the list of your enthusiastic supporters. P. C. KNOX." CONFERENCE OF CHARITY WORKERS.

Mr. Benjamin Harris, who has been visiting his sisters, Mrs. Charles Hatfield and Mrs. Jane Brown returned to his home Chicago last week. The organization of the Charity Organization Work held in the Woman's Institute last week was one of much interest. Mrs. M. A.

There were other doctors and leaders who told of the great work being done by the Charity Organization of the city. Mr. Charles E. Conick is improving slowly.

Hearing Before Supreme Court on In Junction Proceedings Against Colored Order. PORCHINESIDE, June 10.—The injunction proceedings instituted by the B. P. O. E, or white Order of Elks, to restrain the I. B. P. O. E. of W., or colored Elks, from using the emblem or any of the insignia of the order of Elks, were tried out in the city today before the Hon. Joseph Motschauser, in the Supreme Court rooms. Curran and Brennan, of Yorkers, represented the plaintiffs while the case of the defendants was handled by the firm of Perry and Wetmore. A large number of colored Elks from Brooklyn and New York were in court wearing the emblem to which objection was being made. The plaintiff put up on the stand Fred Hughes of Yonkers, a past Exalted Ruler in his lodge; R. C. Moreland of New York City, and Edwin Lea, New York City, the Grand Treasurer of the Grand Lodge. Each of these witnesses was given a very severe cross examination by Messrs. Perry and Wetmore. The defendants rested their case and both sides agreed to hand up briefs to the court. Much favorable comment heard in and about court rooms on the able and intelligent manner in which the defendant, lawyers had prepared their case lawyers all agreeing that they had made one of the oldest legal rights ever made in this locality. Then too the appearance and department of the large number of colored Elks was well and favorably commented upon by all. There was one feature that marred the whole and that was the uncalled for action of the elevator attendant in referring to carry the colored men. The Poughkeepsie Daily Eagle, in reporting the action, has the following to say: The attitude of the Democratic officials toward the colored race was well illustrated in the court house Thursday morning upon the arrival of some twenty-five colored men from New York and vicinity who came here to attend the proceedings before Justice Morrishauer the application of, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks for a permanent injunction restraining the colored organization known as the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World from using the name and a similar emblem to theirs. "Mrs. Evelyn Thaw arrived at the court house to visit her husband just ahead of the colored delegation. In fact they were just coming in the front door as Mrs. Thaw stepped in the elevator and was taken upstairs. The colored men gathered around the elevator shaft, awaiting for it to descend. They rang the bell and waited, but there was 'nothing doing.' After remaining for between five and ten minutes, they decided that they would have to walk, and they made their way upstairs to the court room. "Court had not been' long in session when Mr. Perry, the colored lawyer representing the defendants, let their feeling in the matter be known. It was' when the court wanted one of the cards of the colored organization produced. Mr. Perry looked around among the members of his order, but there appeared to be no cards in evidence. A comment was made by the judge' that' the members must all have cards. 'The minute we came in the elevator stopped running and we haven't shown our cards since,' he said. When Judge Morschauser heard this he at once gave orders that the janitor be directed to keep the elevator in operation in the future." REV. DE BERRY'S ADDRESS Given an Interesting Account of an Extended Trip SPRINGFIELD, Mass., June 9.—The Third Baptist Church of this place will probably secure a pastor in the near future. The supply committee of the church was appointed by Deacones A.N. Brown, Alex. Huston, Alex. Huston, James Higgins and Clerk David Johnson, recommended to the church last Thursday evening the name of Rev. K. L. Cunningham, at present pastor of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, of Ardmore, Pa. The church voted to extend a call to Mr. Huston, Munginham obtained his college education at Calhoun College, Jamaica, and his theological training at Lincoln University. The local Order of Elks at its meeting last Tuesday evening elected the following officers for the ensuing six months: Exalted ruler, A. H.

The party was in the form of a "Pilion shower party" Miss Petitford being the recipient of many handsome and valuable pieces of linen, about 20¢' her friends being present. After the donations were made the evening was spent in an informal social. A. H. Warner, of Northampton, is spending a two-week Newport, R.

The main auditorium room of the St. John's Congregational Church, was filled to its entire seating capacity Sunday evening with an attentive audience who addressed in reference to N. D. DeLory's address in reference to W. W. DeLory. D. DeLory was in the Southland for a month and practically covered a territory of about 1000 miles, a great part of this being spent in that section of the country known as the black belt. The purpose of this trip was to explore the conditions as they exist between the student shop at Nashville, Tenn., where he visited Pisk University, making several addresses to the student body of that institution. He also visited and imported to public high and grammar schools of New York business enterprises.

WALTON LESTER A. WALTON NEGRO LIFE, SUBJECT FOR DRAMA In a recent issue of Life, Critic Metcalfe declared that the racial problems arising in the new conditions of this country should furnish American dramatists valuable material to replace the exhausted social perplexities which today supply our stage with dramatic situations. He discussed at length the possibilities Negro life furnishes in depicting comedy and tragedy on the American stage. Without comment we reprint Critic Metcalfe's article and also publish a letter of thanks written by Bob Cole, of Cole and Johnson, to the critic. "The Negro has been a valuable theatrical adjunct in more ways than one. As he has been pictured humorously in Negro minstrels and in comic stage characters, his racial characteristics have been fully developed on the fun-making side. The tragedy of his relation with the white race has been freely utilized in such well known plays as "Uncle Tom's Cabin," "The Octopus and" "The White Slave," and "The White Slave" themselves have composed entire companies presenting entreatments in which were exploited the Negro ability to sing, dance and provoke laughter. "At a recent matinee in Brooklyn, given for a charitable purpose, there was performed a one-act piece by Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland which marked rather a new departure in the treatment of the Negro as stage material. The characters were impersonated by white artists, but the story dealt with a domestic tragedy, the parties to which were all Negroes. The same plot might have been used powerfully if its dramatic person had been represented as white people in conventional surroundings. Located in the Black Belt and its characters credible natives of that district, it gained different side-lights, different motives and different trends of thought, which made it more than usually interesting as a play and gave its scenes and denouement a vastly increased force. There used to be complaint about the back of dramatic inspiration in American life, American dramatists, to get into the proper frenzy had to locate their action in castles on the Rhine, in classic Home or Greece, and in times and costumes remote from anything within their own personal knowledge. An interest-compelling little tragedy like this Negro episode, 'His Own,' and the success of several other plays dealing with purely American conditions, go to show that, even in the face of the most discouraging conditions for dramatists of originality, we are beginning to discover the treasures that surround us. The racial problems arising in the new conditions of this country should furnish valuable material to replace the exhausted social perplexities which we have imported from abroad to supply our stage with dramatic situations. Mr. Cole's letter of thanks: New York, May 22, 1908. To Mr. James Metcalfe. Life Building. 15 West 21st St. New York. Dear Sir—You will please parlay the assumption of this encroachment on your valuable time, as I know you are a very busy man, therefore, this apology. I have had the pleasure of reading your articles and dramatic criticisms for "to these many moons," and I am grateful to you for that pleasure. Since reading your comment, in the April 6th number of Life on Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland's one-act piece, "His Own," I feel it incumbent on me to write you this letter of thanks. I write this, not as a member of the race with which "His Own" deals, but as one deeply interested in the progress of the American drama. I consider the prophecy embodied in your comment (and veritably it is a prophecy) the most timely and helpful suggestion given yet to our American dramatists hereby we might hope for the Great American drama. Let me say that you should feel justly proud of your suggestion, and if our dramatists will but heed it the American people will owe you a debt of everlasting gratitude. When we consider the fact that the Negro, since his forced advent into this country through the machination of slavery, has been the basic cause of America's greatest social and political problems, and as the stage, since Aeschylus and Sophicles, has always regarded like conditions, it is meet that our dramatists should deal with this all absorbing question. To my mind "a most fertile field yet unexplored, untrammmelled, and with a wealth untold for him who dare." Why our dramatists have failed to touch this question is obvious. They lack the ethical and metathetical courage; they have the technical ability but they fear they will offend? We know that the drama must regard prejudice but do we not also know that the great American spirit of right is the guiding star of this great commonwealth? Are they not forfitted with the knowledge that right must prevail? Do they, not know that the great American spirit of right is with them in hardship in this theme? Are they not aware that every great consequence in the history of this country isington to Roosevelt was and is friendly to the Negro? Do they not reckon with the tremendous philanthropic spirit that has been the means of uplifting this carriage ward to his present state of citizenship? Do they cease to hold in holy recurrence the millions of souls sacrificed in order that this slave might become a man? Is it that they do not know that the progress of this ex slave in religion. THE MUSICIAN education and accumulation of property is the most marvelous, under like conditions, of any race in the history of the world? Do they not know that this creature loves, hates, cries and laughs like other mortals do? Are they not aware of all these facts? Then why trouble at every frown on the sacred face of the ugly witch—tradition? If the plea is then that "we write plays for money" and that "we are living in a commercial age," then painfully the greatest money-maker the American stage has ever known. And I say without fear of contradiction that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is the one and only great American drama ever written, the only one that has stood the test of time. I have no doubt only four great American characters known the world over. Uncle Tom Eva, Simon Legree and Topsy will live as long as there is a star in the flag. Surely we must have some one dramatist among us now with moral courage enough to face the issue as did Miss Mary Ann. So with you I shout to the American dramatists, why go to the Rhine and Rome or Greece for your dramatic ma- ```markdown ``` terial? "Cust your backpacks below?" Anywhere you see a Negro there's a drama. The dandy darky in the street, the mulatto elevator boy in your fashionable apartment, the Negro criminal in the prison locks. You don't have to be a Negro to have this phone and color. As to your upliftings, Locale, America, Time, now. The drama is that the Negro is in your midst, the comedy is that he survives, the tragedy is that he is black. For no such fertile field exists anywhere, and the drama is here for dramatic material, and a dramatic poet should want for no more a divine inspiration than the spectacle of the great American spirit of right, born and crudely by the founders of this great republic, in its God-made armer of Christianity and education, in its Christian tradition, armed with prejudice and ignorance, for the bleeding hearts of 10,600,000 of black Americans. The Hogan Testimonial Benefit. The testimonial benefit given for Ernest Hogan at the West End Theater, Sunday evening, June 21, was a flattering success. After the lengthy and interesting interview, Mr. Hogan's first partner, in a neat speech of thanks, announced that the sum realized for Mr. Hogan was over $500, the applause was long and genuine. The affair was under the management of experienced and capable members of the theatrical profession, as was shown by the smooth manner in which it was conducted. The audience was the arriving members. The audience filed out of the theater well pleased with all they had seen and heard, and with themselves in being a party to an evening devoted to a worthy purpose. That Ernest Hogan has a large number of friends' goes without saying. When the orchestra in the opening number played selections from some of his greatest works, the audience was applaudous, especially when "All Coons Look Alike to Me" was rendered. It was 8:30 when Carl Dante, master of ceremonies, announced the first number, Messrs. Galines and Brown, who did a neat sketch, although one of the gentlemen sang so far off the key it made everybody unhappy. The best man had a baritone rendered popular hallads—the one accompanied by Mr. Samuel Patterson, of Chicago; the second by the orchestra. The third number started things right. It was Williams and Walker, and they "went some," took the house by storm, especially Bert in his song, The Right Church, but the Wrong Girl, the wrong Walker, in a neat white suit, almost gray, with Elizabeth Williams, a young lady with fine dramatic talent, recited "How Salvador Was," she was heartily applauded, and an encore from her would not have been out of plamp. Any one who thinks George Williams, simply because as was one of the very first colored comedians, has "gone back" is mistaken. He is as funny as ever, talks clearly and moves like a two-year-old boy. His partner, Cope land, has a friend in the work, how to use to good effect. How or woman who does not know of Tom Brown's work also has certainly been far back in the woods. His Indian skirt was one of the real treats of the evening. Tom Brown is famous in his character work, and is jealous of his rank. As each act was introduced a performer came on the stage with his mumkalm, ready to play, and taking his seat, was seemingly surprised to learn that he was not called. Mr. Guten, of the Five Musical Shillers, was the groom and he caused many a laugh with his droll ways. Walker Co., of New York, with Miss Daisy Tapley as conductor and Mrs. R. M. Bolden at the piano.

Cook and Stevens, in their sketch, "The Chinese and the Cajun," told Kemp "I think all the time, and has a "Merry Widow Hop," while Stevens has that same good bass voice.

Announcer Dante at this point read a letter from Mr. Hogan, expressive of his deep gratitude to an audience. M. J. B. H. S. 1905 in public life. sang a last year's song success, "In Dixie Land." Many in the audience sitting near the winter expressed disappointment that he did not sing "Consolation." It certainly would have been appropriate. He Johnson followed, assisted by six "Dixie Land" ladies. Every minute of this net was enjoyed. Job Cole sang and cut up; Rosamond Johnson played the piano in his own exquisite way. And the girls—umph! But whew! John Rucker, Hogan's last partner, sang several songs in his immitable way and concoided with Mr. Hogan's "Brainfish." It sounds as though Rucker never has an off night, always appearing to good advantage. Alda Overton Walker sang "Bill Simmons' Sister," she was gowned beautifully, and her condition could not have been improved upst. This artist is one of the most popular and disliked of the line-up from "Where Hollis the Oregon" to "Shugish Thomas," Harrison Stewart, former comedian with the Pokin Stock Company, sang "Take Your Time." He takes his time when he sings this song, and compels the audience to move his movements and laugh all over him. The surprise of the evening came next, "This Quartette," composed of Bob Cole, George Walker, Rosamond Johnson and Burt Williams—a combination hard to beat and never seen before. They sang the first line of "Soul Train," the first line of Midnight. That's all, just the first line, and it was a howling success. The Memphis Students closed the bill, with Tom Fletcher and Abbie Mitchell as features. This aggregation of musicians, under Joe Fletcher, in their excellent work, are so well known that many flowers are in their hands. Flowers and programs were sold by various hats, which money was added to the proceeds of the evening. Dudley to Have New Play S. H. Dudley, leading comedian of the "Smart Set" company, will have a new show next season. He will have several days ago by Gus Hill, who declares he will endeavor to have a first-class musical comedy written for his comedian and also surround him with a strong cast. Jerry Mills, late of the Pekin Stock Company, has signed to go with the "Smart Set" next season as straight man. Just what the name of the new musical comedy will be has not been decided. It is probable that the "Smart Set" will open the season with "The Black Politician," and, in the meantime, she harms the new show until all the people familiar with their respective parts. Queen Kether Given at Tarrytown Tarrytown, June 24—On Monday night, June 15, Queen Ether was given in Music Hall by the young people of the A. M. E. Zion Church, assisted by Mimi Mimie Brown, of the Williams and There were forty people in the chorus. Under the careful training, of the Rev. R. M. Bolden they presented a musical entertainment that has never been surpassed by any singing society in this village. Mr. Bolton took the part of the king in an excellent manner and he made a decided bit. Miss M. Brown simply took the house by stairs. J. F. Morse to Be with W. & W. Next Season. One of the most promising singers before the public today is J. F. Mores, baritone, who not only has a good singing voice, but possesses plenty of drumming skills. Coupling to the present plans of Williams and Walker, this well-known singer will be given an excellent opportunity to display his talents next season. Much credit is due the Fekin Stock Company for the development of Mr. Mores. He was connected with the Fekin Theater for several years, and left Chicago last spring to join the "Bandanna Land" company, which was playing in New York, going to Chicago, he was a member of the "Kikus Rastus" company. 1 "Oyster Man" Company Won't Go Out Until November. Hurtig and Seamon announce that the "Oyster Man" company will not be sent on the road until after the November election. This decision was reached after a consultation with Ernest Hogan, whose illness caused the closing of the "Oyster Man" company last January. By November the firm will know whether the "Unleashed American" will return to the stage, all being very optimistic as to his ultimate recovery. For a number of weeks rumor has had it that nearly every negro performer who pleaded guilty of being a comedian would appear in the film of the Oyster Man. However, Hurtig and Seamon are not considering any one *Gas* comedian—and won't until November. Special Notices: Whereas, without my knowledge, authority or consent, parties having the Ernest Hogan benefit, given June 21, at the West End Theatre, in charge, have designated me as manager of the affair. I wish to inform the public that while I was in hearty sympathy with the benefit and lent it every support, I was not the chairman of the committee. Yours truly, THOMAS JOHNSON, New Amsterdam, Theatre. STAR CONCERT AT BETHEL. Riveride Quartet, of Boston, and Local Talent, in Artistic Success. "The grand star concert given at Bethel A. M. E.

TAFT AND SHERMAN A WINNING TICKET of Principal W. Bruce Evans' ablest assistants. Dr. Evans has made Armstrong the center of practical education in the District of Columbia. Armstrong made a most gratifying showing at the recent commencement. The Right Reverend Charles Henry Brent, Bishop of the Philippines, was again elected Bishop of Washington by the Episcopal convention on the 17th, and received the hearty support of the eight Negro delegates of the body. His experience among Negroes and dark-skinned, peoples admirably fit him for a community like Washington, where the presence of 100,000 Negroes furnish an ample field for missionary work. Rector T. J. Brown, of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, has sent a telegram to Manila, urging Bishop Brent to accept the assignment as a special favor to the colored people of this diocese. Chief W. W. Griffin, of the U. O. of T. R., is making arrangements for the reception of Rev. J. T. Carpenter and Mrs. Rosa Thompson, of Philadelphia, who will install 1,000 officers of the Order of Trune Reformers, at True Reformers' Hall, on Wednesday evening, July 10. He will be assisted by Vice-Chiefs P. Goinse, Mrs. E. B. Lordan, J. W. Branson, M. M. Peace, Mrs. R. N. Lumpkins, J. W. stockton, Mrs. V. E. Winslow, Mrs. J. J. Tennyson and Mrs. Sarah F. Lewis, division secretary. Rev. A. C. Garner, Pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. E. L. M. Green, of Knoxville, Tenn., were treated to a joint surprise last Monday evening by the Plymouth congregation. Mr. Louis H. Neill acted as toastmaster. The committee of young ladies was headed by Miss Martha Lee and Miss Sadie Shorter. Mr. William L. Houston, Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, was in Philadelphia last week to inspect and finally accept in the name of the Order the magnificent headquarters recently erected by the Odd Fellows in the business center of the Quaker City, at the corner of 12th and Spruce streets. The building is five stories in height, entirely fire-proof, and is constructed of steel granite, marble and terra-cotta, with elevator service and electrical fixtures throughout, and represents an outlay of more than $135,000. The new headquarters will be dedicated with imposing ceremonies on Wednesday, July 15. The various Odd Fellow lodges of the District of Columbia have elected their delegates to the B. M. C., which convenes at Atlantic City on September 14, and it is generally understood that they will vote solidly for the re-election of Mr. Houston, whose services as Grand Master have been so eminently satisfactory to the order at large. Bishop G. W. Clinton, who assisted Bishop Smith to conduct the Philadelphia and Baltimore annual conference of the Zion Church at Baltimore last week, went through to Hampton Tuesday for a period of rest and recuperation from the arduous strain to which he has been subjected by constant work during the past year. At Hampton he participated in the organization of a Negro Federated Insurance League, with an aggregate capital of $750,000 and carryngy about $43,000,000 in life policies. The League takes in numerous colored companies in Virginia, North and South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and the District of Columbia, and embraces a membership of 310,000. W. P. Burrell, of Richmond, was elected president of the federation, and Bishop Clinton was named as one of the vice-presidents. The graduating class of trained nurses, which recently finished at Freedmen's Hospital (Howard University) under the guidance of Mrs. Sarah L Tufts, superintendent of nurses at that well-equipped institution, comprised the following young women: Katherine Murphy, of the District of Columbia; Bessie L. Jones, of Pennsylvania; Julia Pray, of the British West Indies; Cornalia Broggs, of New York; Vesta Donaldson, of Tennessee; Agnes Reynolds, of Ohio; Clara L. Denning, of of New York; Alice Robinson, of South Carolina; Jemima Henderson, of New York; Ada C. Doughlass and Katherine A. Douglass, of Massachusetts. The principal address was delivered by Mr. Ralph W. Taylor, Auditor for the Navy Department, followed by a brief address by Secretary of the Interior Garfield, and President W. P. Thirkield, of Howard University presented the diplomas, giving to, each graduate a word of encouragement. At the last convocation of John F. Cook Lodge. No. 10, F. A. M., at its hall, the degree of Master, Mason was conferred upon fourteen candidates. The work was under the direction of the Worshipful Master T. E. Jones, assisted by William Laws, S. W. Richard Stewart, J. W., John H. Mitchell, J. D., and others. A. H. West, of St. John's Lodge, filled the station of S. D., and N. E. Wetherless, P. D. G. M. W, gave the historical account while the charge was delivered by John T. Simmons, P. M., of Datcher Lodge. Among the distinguished visitors were W. H. Grimshaw, Most Worshipful Grand Master for the District of Columbia, and W. H. Underwood, District Grand Master. A collation at Irving's Hall wound up the festivities. Friends of Mrs. W. M. McNeal in this city have received invitations requesting their presence at the marriage of her daughter, Miss. Lena Venola McNeal to Mr. Robert B. DeFrantz, the ceremony to take place June 24, at the family residence, 1015 E. Jefferson street, Topeka, Kansas. Miss McNeal is an expert stenographer connected with the Knights and Ladies of the Orient, of Topeka, and Mr. DeFrantz is the general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Kansa City, Mo. Arrangements are being made by the teachers of the city to tender a one-hundred plate banquet to Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce as a fitting recognition of his year's successful work. In addition to a large contingent of the male teachers, a large number of prominent citizens will par- ticipate in the function. The committee having the affair in charge is composed of C. M. Thomas, of Normal School No. 2, A. H. Glenn and N. E. Weatherless, M. Street High School; Arthur. C. Newman, of Armstrong Technical High School; Dr. J. E. Washington, of the Stevens School, M. Grant Lucas and R. A. Gillem, of the Bruce School, and Herndon Jones, of the Bell School. Mr. Bruce's administration has been crowned with magnificent results, and both parents and students are eminently satisfied with him as the official head of the public schools. Mr. Ira T. Bryant, the newly-elected Secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, who has been in Nashville since the General Conference, looking over the field and laying the foundation for his labors during the coming quadrennium, is attending the commencement of Wilberforce University this week. He returns here in a few days to wind up his business affairs. He will tender his resignation as linetype operator at the Government Printing Office, a lucrative position he has held for several years. Miss E. E. Lampton, who has been serving efficiently as chief clerk in the financial department of the A. M. E. Church during the incumbency of her father, Bishop Lampton, as financial secretary, has consented to remain throughout the term of his successor, Dr. John F. Hurst, who comes on from Baltimore this week to take charge of his new work. Dr. B. F. Watson, secretary of the Church Extension Board, heretofore located at the Pine street building in Philadelphia, will now have offices in the A. M. E. headquarters in this city. Word reaches us that former Recorder of Deeds Henry Plummer Cheatham is winning laurels for his excellent management of a State charitable institution at Littleton, N. C. Infarctionion also comes that Dr. J. E. Shepard, formerly an attache of the Recorder's Office, has resigned his position, as field worker among Negroes for the International Sunday-School Association in order to give his full time to the new industrial and theological institute he is projecting near Hillsboro, N. C. It is stated that an agreement has been entered into between Miss Meta Vaux Warrick and the management of the Jamestown Exposition, acting in conjunction with the United States Government, by which the fifteen striking historical tableaux, designed by that accomplished sculptor, are to be placed permanently on exhibition in the Smithsonian Institution, as soon as a suitable location can be decided upon.
