With the passing of these, their miseries, the general pessimism and stagnant industrial life of the masses of colored Bostonians has changed into a continually brightening optimism and business progress. Not a trained expert, but just a casual observer, is needed to make changes. Colored people in surprising numbers are buying property, going into business, getting more and better jobs. There is an undercurrent of progress among our good "so-called" middle classes coming to the surface in all these various ways that is as gratifying as it is unmistakable and as it will be irresistable. In the last week many evidences of this onward movement have come to your correspondent. Mr. David E. Crawford, formerly treasurer of the Hotel Upton Co., has just completed the remodeling of his recently purchased tenement house in 1990, 918 and 930 Tremont street, which in its present shape has cost him just $25,000. This block is three stories in height, contains eight thoroughly modern and renovated apartments and two stores on the ground floor. This property is rented in advance, as is generally true of the twenty-six other pieces of real estate which Mr. Crawford owns in this vicinity. These apartments are exclusively for colored people. His summer home adjoining the Crest Hail on Wilpoppet lawn in the burned down building in the recent fire there. It was insured. In all his real estate holdings alone are worth $140,000, with an unpaid balance of only $20,000 resting against them. Conning to Boston twenty years ago, a mere poor boy from the South, and from Hampton Institute, he went into hotel service and a few years later, had saved sufficient money to invest in a colored social club. Through the strictest attention to business, hard work and sobriety, his rise has been thus continuous and surprising. As a conveyancer and counselor at the Greenfield at Chester on a busier street, Mr. Creeff is kept busily engaged, besides attending directly to his properties. Mr. B. T. Jones, for many years the trusted sexton at Copley Square Unitarian Church, has leased and and thoroughly renovated the store building at 639 Shawmut avenue, Roxbury, preparatory to opening there a first class undertaking establishment. A chapel with a seating capacity of over a hundred will be attached, while a class outfit or carriages and heases has been secured. Besides Mrs Jones, for many years a trained nurse, having graduated from the Chautauqua Nurse Training School, Jamaica, N.Y., has given his three sons associated with him in the business. The eldest, Arthur, who has recently finished his course in undertaking, will be in charge, during the night. Mr. J. H. Hyman, the janitor at Mechanic Arts High School, has secured the two houses at 19 and 21 Kendall street. Roxbury, and turned both, thoroughly renovated, into one spacious and splendid lodging house hotel. The Hotel Enterprise contains twenty neat and well furnished rooms. Bath, telephone and other accommodations, together with the unisual cleanliness apparent everywhere, make the house one of the best of its kind in the sound of the city. Mr. Hyman came to Boston something over three years ago A TWO DAY'S SESSION Enough for "Would Be Democrats" in Democratic Convention. "If You Call This Democracy, Excuse Me." Declared One. DENVER, July 6—Frigid is too mild a word to be used in describing the reception the delegation of Negro Democrats are receiving here in their endeavor to have inserted in the Democratic platform a plank favorable to Negroes. Although the weather is sweltering these nervy dusky invaders (for they are showing plenty of nerve), could use their heavy overcoats to good advantage had they brought them along. News would in all"probabilities be flashed throughout the country of their sudden collapse and illness because of the "cold storage" treatment they are receiving out here were they to remain during the entire convention. But two days have been enough for the majority of them and they have bade Denver adieu. To use words of one of the Negroes: "We came out here to show these Democrats how they could get a large part of the Negro vote this election. Instead of according us the courtesy we thought due us we were treated as a load of fresh eggs that a produce merchant wanted to keep until next spring." Another Negro who claimed Dem- crowns you call this. Democracy, excuse me! As a matter of fact the majority of Democrats do not want the Negro to become in any manner associated with their party, and have been very frank and out-spoken in their views. "If we win we want to win without the aid of the th Negro vote" declared a prominent delegate from Kentucky. The Negro delegation went to Denver to ask the committee on resolutions the same questions propounded to William Jennings Bryan, which were as follows: "First—What would be the attitude of a Democratic administration respecting the restoring of the Twenty-ninth Infantry discharged without honor by order of the president? "Second—What would be the attitude of the Democratic party toward affecting public sentiment so that the Negro might enjoy the benefit of the ballot in Southern states, and impress it with the fact that now administration of the laws that now disfranchise the Negro in toto? "Third—That a Democratic administration would do nothing to make conditions worse for the Negro than they now are, so that the Negro would lose nothing in the way of employment in the service of the Federal Government.

THE LOENDI ASSOCIATION A Building and Lena Venture by Pitt- burg City College Notes of the Southern County PITTSBURG, Pa. July 7.—Negro people in this city, like those in other cities in this section, are learning the importance of organization for other purposes than building churches. The most representative, and time will prove it to be the most useful, organization ever started in any city was recently started here and has secured a charter. Under the name of the Loencia Loan and Building Association, and capitalized at $100,000, selling shares at $100, with 3,500 sold. This organization has made a step in the right direction which cannot be fully appreciated except by students of Pittsburgh. It may not be heard, but it is a fact, nevertheless, there is a strong feeling in this city against renting and selling to Negro people respectable houses. This condition, if none owner will cause this organization to grow, will be the appropriate office for business. Mr. Thos H. Harrison is manager of one of the most creditable business places in the state. In addition to handling stationery and race publications of every description he conducts and employment agencies. Mr. Harrison votes most of his time to the employment department, while his wife has full charge of all other departments. Critics who say race places are known by their appearance generally should see Harrison's. There are larger stores of its kind, to be sure, but there is not in the whole city a cleaner or more up-to-date newsstand and cigar store than Harrison's. Much credit is to the Mrs. Harrison for the appearance of her services than her husband. Mrs. M. J. Joles and Miss Bardell-Joles, mother and daughter, were married Thursday night, July 2.

DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION Intense Excitement Over Negro Plank in the Platform RUININ NEGROVOTE Declares Vardaman, "Who Would Prefer Defeat Forever. to Election Won by Votes of Veneered Savages." "I would rather the Democratic party went down to defeat forever and be remembered only for its great work in the past than that there should be inserted into the Denver platform one word to catch a Negro vote or that Bryan should be elected president by the votes of veneered savages." —Gov. James K. Vardaman. DENVER, July 7—An attempt on the part of Bishop Alexander Walters and a few Negro Democrats to have inserted a clause into the Democratic platform friendly to the Negro has aroused a storm of opposition here that for a time assumed serious proportions. It was only after the Bryan lieutenants assured the delegates that the Negro would be ignored as in former conventions that excitement "subsided. While a few Northern delegates had no objection to a pro-Negro clause being put into the platform, the majority of delegates, were against the proposition and expressed themselves accordingly in no soluded manner. To use the question of delegates from the South "the Democratic party is a white man's party, and does not want the vote nor the good will of the Negro." About the strongest anti-Negro utterance was the made by Gov. James K. Vardaman, of Mississippi, who declared that he preferred to see Bryan go down to defeat rather than insert into the Democratic platform one word that would be construed by the Negro voters throughout the United States that the Democratic party was friendly to him. In his interview Gov. Vardaman said: "Owing to my lecture engagement in Nashville and Jackson, Temp. I was unable to accompany the Mississippi delegation to the convention," the Governor continued, "but they and practically countless Negroes will fight for what I am going there to defend—the honor of the Democratic party. "The whole South is stirred by the possibility that the Democratic platform may contain a sop thrown to the Negroes. - Think of a Southern Democrat like Colonel Henry Watterson of Kentucky asking an Ohio Negro for his vote. It's enough, were it not such a deadly perilous thing, to make all the gods laugh at once. The most dangerous thing which can be done, risky both for the Democratic, party, and for the nation, is currying favor with the nigger vote. "This is a most serious possibility for the South. The Negro is our great problem. The new breed of educated Negroes is no more to be blamed with the war. It was after thirty years of education that crimes against white women began. Practically white man left home during the war, and the faithful Negroes, like noble Newfoundland dogs, guarded the households and the women and children." TEACHERS TRAINING DEPARTMENT.

LINCOLN COTTAGE Mary Whitman Royal Established of the Minneapolis Cottage—Lyceum and Y.J.H. K. Botan. Fourth of July was spent in various things throughout the city and in the suburbs. The annual outings and holiday excursions were included in and doubled the train in the early morning) a glorious departure was had. Probably one of the most interesting out-of-town visits was the party that gathered and spent the day at the recently opened Lincoln Cottage at Arverna, L. 1. The hotel was opened a few months ago by a company of young-colored men for the accommodation of first class colored people. Judging from the holiday crowd which based their all occasion the cottage will be one of the popular rendezvous of the summer season. During every hour of the day a steady stream of guests were filling in until every available room in the hotel was occupied. The Lincoln Cottage, which was inspected thoroughly by the visitor, contains all modern improvements. Large entry room, balcony, well kept dining room, a pavilion, reception room, and other comforts. The cottage is easily reached and is situated at 24 Lincoln avenue, one of the most beautiful places in lage. The surrounding buildings are致适ive to pleasure, and the being -near the it offer additional advantages for bathing and sight seeing. The opening of the Lincoln Cottage in one of the most exclusive residential section of Arverne marked a new advance for the race and will do a great deal in showing the better element of the race. The Ace correspondent noted the case, and a perfect satisfaction evidenced by the white neighbours. The manager of Lincoln rated that the fourth was the heaviest day of the season, and that the ootlook was most promising for a successful season. The petty who gathered at the Lincoln Cottage on the Fourth, was a representative gathering of New York, Brooklyn, Newark, and Jersey City's best. The day was pleasantly spent, in various ways suitable to the taste of the individual; what parties and dancing parties were features of the amusements. The cottage was enlivened by the sweet strains of music playing national and patriotic airs. Both old and young thoroughly enjoyed the day. At the Young Men's Christian Association last Sunday afternoon a patriotic service was held, which was of an unusually interesting nature. The program was conducted by Seyc Bell Patriotic songs were sung. On the platform were many distinguished men, well known in the business, and professional world. The first speaker Key J. Fraun is visiting this country from Denemarra. It is an interest short address full of good advice and wholesome doctrine. His address was followed by the singing of America, after which Mr. Bell called upon Dr. Brooks to introduce Mr. R. C. Simmons, who was the orator of the day. He was in especially good form, and delivered a very stirring patriotic address. Mr. Bell at this juncture naked for the collection, after which Prof. Wilson from Denemarra made a short address (from Denemarra) to Counselor E. A. Johnson. The meeting closed in the midst of great applause. The Lycmeum Singing Class, of St. The Lyceum Singing Class of St. Mark's Church opened with a fairly good sized audience, last Sunday afternoon. The class will keep open throughout the summer. The business men of the city connected with the Negro Business League, hope to have a delegation present at the national meeting of the League at Baltimore in August. Columbia University Summer School opened last Monday with a large representation of college students in all of its departments. Percy Green, a student of the College of the City of New York, returned from the Northfield conference. He was the only colored delegate present to represent any college. Mr. Wm. Nolan, of Yale University, passed through the city last week en- route to Auburn Park. He re-enters Yale in the Fall. CLEVELAND G. ALLEN FOURTH AT ASBURY PARK. Whitehead House Headquarters—W. White Recover from Drowning. Fourth of July was celebrated at the Whitehead House, Ashbury Park, by a large crowd of guests, in fact, so large, it was necessary to send guests' to a number of neighboring cottages. All Friday and Saturday the visitors docked in popular resort. Amounts during the day were provided, such as games and dancing, but the chief feature was bathing. Through the prompt and courageous action of William S. Kennard, Gerald Norman and Capt. Hubert Jackson, William White, of Ashbury Park, was saved from drowning. Mr. White, who was exhausted by the strong under-tow, about twenty yards from the shore, had gone down the third time when Mr. Kennard reached him. With the assistance, he above named gentleman, he brought The complimentary shop given by the management of the Whitehead House to its guests Saturday evening was a brilliant success and largely attended. The dressing room, in the New Amsterdam Orchestra of New York, Indian in gowns of fairiness, and the gentlemen in shirt waist effect made a pretty picture; one gentleman being considered slightly out of order on account of the color of his shirt.

To the Alumni of Wilberforce University; I take this public method to inform you that I am very anxious to come in closer touch with you. I know that you are interested in the future of your Alma Mater. As you all know, Wilberforce University has passed its 10th milestone and has now begun its second half century of work for the race. I am willing to operate with us at the fountain-head in whatever we undertake for her good. You know her history, her progress amid tears and struggles. We celebrated in 1905, our Golden Jubilee. It was an occasion never to be forgotten by the Alumni who then built the beautiful buildings and grounds, renewed old association and made new ones. You saw also what is demanded for future progress and the glorious future awaiting her, provided there is united effort in her behalf. That progress we are putting forth every effort to make sure. It is to this end that I address you: In 1911 occurs the Centenary of the birth of Bishop D. A. Payne, the first one of the sainted founders connected with the life work of Wilberforce. This should be made a great occasion, and that it may be fittingly memorialized I wish to call upon the Alumni to raise $10,000 for a University Chapel in his memory. I know you can do it if you unite in the effort. This should in no way interfere with the intention of associational founders of Wilberforce. They should be memorialized as they occur. Such projects will give a center around which the Alumni may rally, keep up the high ideals of the school and uplift the race in honoring such memories. This sum of $10,000 should be in the hands of the University treasurer no later than June 1910. Will you undertake the work? Will you so honor yourself and your Alma mater? I may mean some accredited faculty. I think I can be made one chiefly of true and labor if rightly managed. I would ask that the Alumni throughout the country organize themselves at once into Alumni Associations similar to the one in Washington, D.C., which was done good work; and that all within the university be encouraged to join the caters I would suggest that for the caters sake all ex students be allowed and urged to join you as an undergraduate band to help along the work. We need numbers, enthusiasm, a feeling of loyalty engendered, harmony and workers, would suggest further that you encourage the university which holds dent or some member of the faculty chosen for the purpose, will be glad to attend and address, assisting and encouraging you thus keeping in close touch with your foster mother. These occasions can be made insisting and helpful to all, all am sure that great will will come from it not only to college, but to the Alumni, to the church, and the race. I am anxious to know you better to have your assistance in making William become a great University, in every way worthy of the man whose name it bears. William Willerforden-Englund's greatest biography was Paul Aldobertius. You can read it at the University of Delaware, or did superbly. I shall try to visit these centers that you may organize and have a heart to heart talk with you on this subject. I shall be glad to have letters from you, also on the page below you. God bless you all and glad you to do what you can to aid this great man. And make this first great alumna what a grand success beginning thus to do honor to the great histories families. Please write me at once with your suggestion that may be useful to you in form that our success. We must give close to our Almajol for success. Their hard and interest are in helpfulness. What sum will you attempt to raise? With some living literary graduates added to our library who have completed other courses which we have tendered Williference without gratification there should be no trouble to raise the desired sum. So let us all agree and solve to the needs of the hour and the Commission of truth, a great gift for "Old Williference." Years for the goal of the University W. S. Sewayan, President Willerforce, Ohio, July 1 President Searough writes, "To Ace that 'I shall not only vote, but I shall work for the election of Taft." Sons of Virginia. The society of the Sons of Virginia hold an interesting meeting on Thursday evening of last week which marked a new chapter in its history, as at this meeting the new financial arrangement brought forward by the board of directors, went into effect. So that instead of the annual assessment of one dollar per annum for the social features of the society which are given three times yearly, and special tax at the death of a member; the new basis does away with those costs and sets the dose of member $6 per year. The sick dues have been advanced from $1, to $4 per week and death benefits from $60 to $60. The receipts of the evening were $17. Praise coech before us all. Praise goeth before us all. All is not song that twitters. CLEVELAND, July 7.—One of the most affecting incidents of the big N. E. A. Convention, held in this city last week, was the meeting of Dr. Booker T. Washington and Miss Marie C. Bolden, the little Negro girl who won the spelling contest. On Thursday Dr. Washington expressed a desire to call on Miss Bolden, and through the courtship of Mr. Walter White, of his private Automobile Co., who won the prize trophy, the year won the Gilded trophy, at the disposal of the well known educator's host, Mr. George A. Myrena. In the party also were Dr. R. E. Parks, of Boston, Mr. Walter B. Wright, secretary of the Nickle Plate railroad, at Cleveland. It was indeed, a glorious sight, and one long to be remembered when Dr. Washington grasped the hand of this demure man and congratulated her on the man of millions for her great victory in behalf of the race, a victory accomplished in the presence of 6,000 persons. To the surprise of Dr. Washington and those present Miss Bolden passed around cake made by her tiny hands, thus demonstrating that her mother is following the teachings of Dr. Washington of educating the hands as well as the feet. The party was pleasant half hour at the Holiday residence. During Dr. Washington's stay in Cleveland he found it one continuous round of pleasure. On Wednesday evening Dr. Washington attended the trolley party, given under the awnices of the Hesperian Club at Willowbeach, one of the many charming summer resorts with which the Forest City abounds, in honor of the Forest City firemen. The affair was all that could be desired and gave Dr. Washington his first opportunity to meet so many of our own people as well as the visitors. On Thursday after the visit to the home of Miss Marie Bolden, Dr. Washington was given a ride through the parks and boulevards, calling at the residence of Mr. George A. Myers. The Mr. Myers family, Mr. G. Jones on Central avenue, who greatly showed them through his place and explained the manufacture of the "trolley wheels" made by his secret process for the Municipal Traction and other street railroad companies, Mr. Jones is an example of what an enterprising and energetic colored man with a level head may accomplish. After the ride Dr. Washington, Dr. R. E. Parks and Mr. Walter E. Wright were tendered a tuxedo at the Hollenden by Mr. George A. Myers the affair was the grandest ever given by any of our people in Cleveland. The Hollenden set out attracts china and uses its celebrated "gold service" throughout. The table was beautifully decorated with the piece of cut flowers, cannock and cut glass, and the following was served. Mr. Friday also joined Dr. Washington- son Dr. R. K. Pierce, who gave an en- thusiastic testimony by Mr. Closse W. Chestnut, Mr. and Hughs, the presidents and his Citizenship and the sign of the present house. Mr. Chestnut also gave an enthusiastic test testimony by their lives. After the conference of Mr. Chestnut the party received by the Housman. At night, in company with Mr. Closse W. Chestnut and Mr. George A. Moyes, Dr. Washington- son attended the presentation given by the University Club at the Goodrich House. Mr. Hobson Baldwin, Lester Alexander, Mr. Hobson Baldwin, Lester Alexander, Miss Moss, Miss Nora, Miss Gora Brown, Miss Lahail Daye, and Miss Mare- belle Hine. On the second time Dr. Washington met the visitors and Cleveland's best people. Music was furnished by Mr. Henry Davis' orchestra, and a beautiful solo recorder by Miss Georgia Fields. Refreshments were served, and upon invitation of Mrs. Harriet Price, the president of the Minerva Club, Dr. Washington delivered one of those pleasing and instructive impromptu speeches for which he had made about three months during his life. Mr. Chas. W. Chestnut responded for Cleveland, congratulating the club upon being so fortunate as to have Dr. Washington address them and congratulated Dr. Washington upon meeting such an elegant and intelligent gathering of our people, for which Cleveland is justly noted and proud. After the reception Dr. Washington was as commanded to the "boast" by Mr. George A. Myers, leaving for Detroit, Mich. 4 and 5 Large Light Rooms to Let. RANGES, HOT WATER SUPPLY. Rent Reasonable!

In this way Secretary Taft becomes my candidate for the Presidency, and while under all the circumstances I can probably do but little, yet I shall do all I can to help elect him." THE NEWS CAN SCRELL It used to be said that the Negro could not learn. We don't hear so much about that as we used to. Just the other day it was demonstrated to some people as far down as New Orleans that the Negro can at least spell. One of the events of the recent National Educational Association at Cleveland was a spelling match between teams representing different schools from all parts of the country. The prize was won by the Cleveland team the leading member of which was Marie Bolden, the daughter of a colored letter carrier of the city. Marie Bolden was one of two pupils among all the contestant who made a perfect record. The team from New Orleans did well; it came third. But it was hard for the members of the "superior race" to find themselves beaten by a colored girl. Referring to the event the Cleveland Leader says: The real sporting spirit of the content was shown by the New Orleans team, although few people of the North could appreciate their position. When the number of players had to have the number of the United States to engage in the meet, understood that one member of the Cleveland team was a Negro girl some of the Southern children refused to take part, and it looked though. How else could the children when the children talked it over and considered the money that had been spent in sending them here they decided to swallow their prejudices and go to win. When the gold medal was presented to Baldwin, the children, leading directly from the New Orleans team, the eyes of the children opened wide in wonder. The New Orleans team worked hard to win. Many of them made brilliant records. When they stepped down from the stance of the team, the eyes of the streaming from the eyes of several of the little girls. It should, however, be taken into consideration that the New Orleans team was working under handicap. In Cleveland the spelling team was made up from among the best students in the school, irrespective of color. But in New Orleans, of course, the colored students were not allowed to compete. At that time the people of New Orleans did not know that the colored people could spell. Now that they know, perhaps it will be different. Perhaps yes; but also perhaps no. AN EDITOR EXCITED. Our good friend, the editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, should be a little more careful in the correctness and authenticity of his charge. In no issue of this paper have we sought to charge Senator Foraker with, bad faith in his advocacy of the rights of the discharged soldiers, and call for evidence to support any such contention. The result to the Senator has come from some of his so-called friends, who have written him most abusive letters since he made a motion in the Senate to defect action on the bill for the restoration of the soldiers until December. While we must admit that the weather is very warm at this writing and that Editor Perry is finding it a difficult task in his endeavor to put up a defense regarding his prey's lack of enthusiasm for the Republican presidential nominies, yet, he must not make insinuations that tend to make him appear ridiculous. When you call the president and Judge Taft "arch enemies of the race," you are getting buried without a doubt. Judge Taft should not become too unlucky excited. Let him support one of the best friends of the race, which he will do when he comes out before many weeks for Judge Taft. We have always considered Editor Perry sane and discreet on all questions. At Chicago he was quiet and composed, and made it his business as far as we know, to keep away from Negro Democrats paid and brought to the convention to foment trouble. Call us 'tigger dinosaur' if you will we stand for race manhood and individual opportunity."—Star of Zion. "I would rather the Democratic party went down forever and be remembered only for its great work in the past than that there should be inserted into the Denver platform one word to catch a Negro vote or that Bryan should be elected president by the votes of revered savages.—James K. Vardaman. We are publishing two statements for the brevity of our readers throughout the country. They are utterances worth giving serious thought. The first is from the pen of Editor Clement of the Star of Zion, and is embodied in an editorial written by him on "Negroes and the Democratic Party," in which he encourages the Negro voting the Democratic ticket. The other declaration is from James K. Vardaman, who claims that he expresses the sentiments of three-fourths of the Democrats. Since the Chicago convention Bishop Walters and a small coterie of Negro Democrats have been seeking to make a deal with Bryan and his followers, it being their assertion that they can deliver to the Democratic party a large part of the Negro vote in November. One of the contentions of these Negro politicians and would-be Democrats is that they are opposed to the Republican nominee for President and will vote for the Democratic nominee to, assert their manhood. A similar opinion has been expressed by Editor Clement, who declares that by voting the Democratic ticket the Negro will stand for race manhood and individual opportunity. After reading the statement of Editor Clement and then giving consideration to the declarations of Vardaman it is difficult for us to see where the editor or any Negro can become heir to manhood rights or individual opportunity at the hands of the Democratic party. Vardman, who represents the sentiment of the majority of Democrats, says he would rather see the Democratic party go down forever than to insert into the Democratic platform one word favoring the Negro. He would even prefer to see Bryan meet defeat than to treat the Negro as the Republican party has always done—as a man. Yet with the Denver Convention going on record as being opposed to Negro voters affiliating with the Democraciy party some of our politicians are indiscreet enough to claim that the Negro should vote the Democratic ticket and by so doing he would be standing for "race manhood" and "individual opportunity." To us Editor Clement's utterances are so radical, so inconsistent and so untimely that we do not deem it necessary to dwell at length on the subject. We only ask our readers to note what stand the Democrats took at Denver on the Negro question. THE NEXON OPPORTUNITY IN DELLAWARE It is not generally known, but, nevertheless, it is true that in the whole state of Delaware there is not a single Negro lawyer practicing in the courts of that state. There are doctors galore, but in the entire state you can not find a Negro lawyer. The reason for this condition of affairs is due to politics. The Democrats control all branches of the State Government, wherein the power to confer certificates to practice law in the state are held, and up to the present they have been realists in their attempts to keep the Negro out of the legal profession. But there is hope for the Negro in Delaware, and if he uses his ballot effectively he can stamp out this "Jim Crow" usage, which has been made an unwritten law. Those who have the power of conferring legal certificates are again before the voters of that state for support and recognition. Let the Negro vote the Republican ticket, and bury the members of this anti-Negro regime. The election of a Republican judiciary this fall means much to the Negroes of Delaware. Should a Democratic judiciary be elected, it would be the same old story—not a Negro lawyer in the state. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. We would like to show the rights of a Negro in a Democratic Convention. Mr. Bryan presented two gavels to the presiding officers of the Democratic convention, but the voters will never present the Presidents to Mr. Bryan. What the great statesmen yet has been the attempt of Bishop Walter's Rev. Clement and other would be Democrats to get into the Democratic party, and the one that grants them—"No Negro Need Apply." What is pathetic about some of the Negroes trying to get into the Democratic party is that while they are asserting what great good they can do the Democrats, by dividing the Negro vote they, themselves, are insolible to vote. Those who are doing the bestst talking have not acquired their citizenship when they reside. Since William Howard Taft is now the Republican nominee, all discreet Negroes will now bury the hatchet of war which seemed never to have had a just cause—Atlanta, Ga., American Citizen. Negroes are not inclined to commit political suicide. All this talk about "dia, dat and toder" is merely the reverberation of a mean appetite and a bad digestion—Chicago Conservator. No matter what mistakes the Republican party might make, it is a certainty, that the blunder of the Democrats would so overshadow them that the errors of the Republicans would be overlooked—Portland Advocate. The most that can be said for the statement by Mr. Bryan is that it shows political cunning and will operate as a bid for votes upon those whom it will deceive. The Republican declaration is all right—Omaha, Neb., Enterprise. If Senator Foraker is willing to support Secretary Taft as the result of the Republican National Convention we see no reason why his followers will not do the same manly act.—Lexington, Ky., Standard. Since the nomination of Secretary Taft as standard bearer of the Republican party in the coming national election the Negro press, of the United States, has been almost unanimous in declaring for him and urging the Negro voters to support the Republican ticket in November. Hurrah for Taft!—Rock Hill, S. C., Messenger. The selection of Mr. Taft by the National Republican Convention to the standard bearer of the narty is both wise and excellent, and it has met with general acceptance throughout the country. Not only the Republican newspapers of the country have approved the nomination, but a number of the leading Democratic papers in the North have been prompt in the payment of hearty compliment, to Mr. Taft, the head of the Republican ticket.—Charleston, S. C., Southern Reporter. The Republican platform, while not expressing all we desire, yet it comes nearest giving us a fair deal. We can not afford to permit our enemy, the Democrat party, to get, control of this government, and to refuse to vote will but give the enemy one vote and thereby give them advantage. The question is not whether the Republican party suits us or not, but which of the two parties we prefer. The fact is that either the Democrat' or Republican party will win; which do you want?—Richmond, Ind., Review. The Republican National Convention just over in Chicago nominated Hon. Mr. Taft for president of the United States, and he is now before the country for the suffrage of the people. We hope he will be elected, as the Democrats will offer nothing for the elevation of our race—Atlanta Voice of the People. We believe that Mr. Taft is the next best man of Roosevelt could not run. Mr. Taft is a great man, a success at his occupation, a man broad in his views with construction. He will grow into the hearts of the American people as time comes, and he will, we hope, be elected and make a good president—Iowa State Bystander. William Howard Taft and James S. Sherman is the ticket of the Republican party fling to the breeze in Chicago last week as the national convention concluded with the nomination' of James S. Sherman, of New York, for vice president. Nothing is left now for the true Republican to do but to give this ticket his loyal support.—Waycross, Ga. News. The fact that Taft has won the nomination so overwhelmingly (702 on first ballot, 603 being necessary for nomination), let all factions be reconciled and again elect the Republican standard bearer—it is not a question of the fittest man among our own party, but the fittest party, to hold the reins of this mighty republic. The Republican party has shown beyond peradventure that its principles, its laws, and its men are more reliable and just than any other party so far that has taken the political banner and matched to the front. Springfield Forum. It is evident, moreover, that a majority of the delegates went to the convention to nominate Mr. Taft, who is regarded as an ideal candidate and the man of the hour. His achievements have been such as to make man feel that no mistake has been made. He is an eminent jurist, a model statesman and a clean man. His record as secretary, unparalleled in the history of this country, challenges the admiration of all. The occasion of his announcement President Roosevelt made the following statement, which the country will accept in togo as coming from a man who knows what he says, who says what he means, and who means what he says—New Orleans Colored American Appeal. Now Senator Joseph B Foraker will stump Ohio for Taft, and Taft in turn will pay off the debt by returning Foraker to the United States senate. This politics. While this program is going on the colored soldiers who were at Brownville are held in a state of suspense. If they and their friends deceive Taft they will also defeat Foraker. With Foraker and Taft detached a Democratic president and a congress of the same political hue will come into power. Their first act would be to forerest settle the estate of the colored soldiers adversely. Viewed from this position it would appear that the duty of the colored water is plain—so plaint in the performance of which child or a war-faring man, though a fool, could not err—Dallas, Tex., expires. The Republic National Convention made no mistake in incorporating its platform a guarantee that it will protect and defend the rights o all men. regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. The plank concerning the American Negro is the strongest declaration of principles that has appeared in the platform of that party in forty years. There is no mistaking its meaning. It has met the issue squarely and we cannot help believing that the antagonistic forces that have agitated upon this question were responsible for its adoption.—Richmond Planet. The National Republican Convention nominated Secretary of War W. H. Taft, of Ohio, for the presidency and Congressman J. S. Sherman, of New York, for vice president, to succeed Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Fairbanks, at present president and vice-president of the United States. It was conceded before the convention met that Mr. Taft would be the presidential nominee, and Mr. Roosevelt would be spoken of for the vice presidency. The ticket was nominated with great enthusiasm and other candidates received made unanimous.—Georgia Baptist. The Republican party is the only party for us to stand by. Of course there are times when we do not think the party does just all it should, but it was done for us, and is now doing more; than, any other party even promises to do. Now wny should we go to a party that absolutely refuses to promise us anything? Of course, we well know the Democratic party will not do for us, but then it does seem if they were very anxious for our support that they would make us compromises. We must learn to stand by our friends and because we dislike one of their actions it is no reason that we should forget all that they have ever done for us.-Little Rock Mossic Guide. NEGROES IN UNCLE SAM'S EMPLOY More Holding Good Jobs Under The Administration than Ever Before. WASHINGTON, July 7.—Statistics show that more Negroes are holding office under President Roosevelt's administration than ever before. Under no administration in the history of the United States have so many Negroes been in office and holding good jobs. There are 292 Negroes employed in government service in Washington who receive $1,000 in salary, some of them having much larger salaries. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor of the navy department, receives $4,000; Register of the Treasury William T. Vernon, $4,000; Cyrus F. Adams, assistant register, $2,500, and John C. Dancey, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, $4,000 a year. * The number of Negroes holding federal government jobs of all kinds in the District of Columbia in 1892 was 2,497. In 1909 the number was 2,785. In 1912 the number was 2,804; same time the increase in the number of white employees was about 9 per cent. The number of Negroes taking civil service examinations is constantly increasing. The young Negro with a little learning and an inquisitive mind is usually eager to rise and shine in, a government position, while the ambitious young white man's aspirations do not turn toward Uncle Sam for employment. It is old story how a common chief clerk of the internal revenue office; needing an extra man for a clerkship, asked for the certification from the civil service commission of available men. He was sent a list of half a dozen names. Heading the list was a man whose surname was Me Namara. "Ah," observed the chief clerk, "this is my man, McNamara, a good old Irish or Scots-Irish name, and he's fed up. Can he too stands first and away up. He's my man. Thereupon the chief clerk wrote to the civil service commission to send him along McNamara right away. McNamara came in on time and presented himself to the chief. The successful candidate proved to be as black a negro as ever descended from darkest origins. He did not about to but appoint him, and he is today about the blackest Negro in Washington. Outside the District of Columbia, the increase in Negroes employes of the government is chiefly in the postoffice department. Throughout the South more Negroes are taking the civil service examinations and are taking the examinations for clerks and carriers. The administration has been generous with them when it has come to making appointments in the unclassified service. As to the examinations, no one in the civil service commission knows whether George Washington Adams, whose ex-mercial papers are forged, white or black or yellow. The papers are marked, the average listed, and the notifications sent out to those who lead the list. There is almost continual fraction between the whites and blacks who hold clerical positions in the same divisions in the same departments. The whites do not object to the Negroes holding manual or laborer's positions, but it distinately interferes with the efficiency of all where there is a mixup of races in responsible clerical positions. The whites are always alert for an opportunity to show their resentment of the association, and the Negro is usually quite as jealous of his rights, as he regards them, and is often unable to assert himself without fear of consequence. Since the Brownsville incident, the Negro seems to be more strongly entrenched in the department than ever. The number of Negroes outside of Washington in the service of the government is 5,567. Eighteen of them receive annual salaries of $2,500 or over. Twelve hundred of them receive more than $1,000 a year. President W. M. Scarborough President W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce University, is receiving many letters of congratulation from high sources on his election to the head of that institution. Among them a letter from Senator J. B. Foraker says: "I heartily congratulate you upon the well-merited honor that has come to you. I am sure Wilberforce will prosper under your administration. May the good Lord give you wisdom, strength and courage, and may His blessings attend your great institution in all its undertakings. With kindest regards, I remain. Very thank you, etc. I am very grateful to you. The ninth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League is to held in the city of Baltimore Maryland, Friday, August 19th, 20th and 21st, 1998. The day sessions of the League will be held in the Sharp Street Methodist Episcopal Church. All the night sessions are to be held in Richmond Market Hall, formerly used by the Crack Fifth Maryland Regiment of Baltimore and recently by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Richmond Market Hall is one of the most satisfactory assembly rooms in the whole city of Baltimore. The pubbed to be the Baltimore Negro Business League, of which Mr. Harry T. Pratt is president, for securing this splendid hall for the use of the league. His Honor, Mayor J. Bary Mahal, aided the Baltimore league in having this hall secured for the meetings. Upon petition of Mr. Pratr and other members of the Local Negro Business League, the City Council of Baltimore has passed two resolutions of interest to the organization, one providing for the electrical illumination by the city of Druid Hill avenue during the sessions of the National Negro Business League and the other for the use of the largest steamer belonging to the City. Harbor Board during Convention week. Honorable Harry S. Cummings, a member of the City Council, has given the weight of his influence toward having these two resolutions passed by the City Council. The citizens of Baltimore are well organized in various committees and are earnestly at work arranging the details of entertainment, etc., for the delegates. Officers, life members and delegates, who are intending to be present, are urged to be present, and Dr. Druid Hill avenue, Baltimore, advising him of such intention, so that proper accommodations may be provided. The far reaching influence of the National Negro Business League assures an attendance at Baltimore second to that of no other session of the organization. Reduced rates will be secured from almost every section of the country. It is altogether possible, however, for groups of individuals coming from such centers as Chicago, Indianapolis Louisville, Atlanta, Birmingham, St Louis, New Orleans, Little Rock, Nashville, Chattanooga, Jackson, Memphis, Kansas City, and other cities to secure such special excursion rates as are being offered to Washington, Baltimore New York City and Atlantic City. By arranging for stop-over, privileges, delegates will be enabled to make the trip to Baltimore at an expense lower than the usual one and one-third rate, and at the same time visit the National Capital. Delegates are especially urged to begin making arrangements at once for special Pullman and coach accommodations to Baltimore. If delegations are organized in each of the states they can arrange for special Pullman and other accommodations, securing privacy, comfort and congenial companionship en route. Local Negro Business Leagues are urged to begin electing their delegates at once. The names of all delegates thus selected should be forwarded to the corresponding secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Mr. C. F. Adams, 924 S. street, N. W., Washington, D. C., will be pleased to cooperate in any way possible with city or state delegations in making transportation arrangements. Further information if desired, may be secured from any of the officers whose addresses appear in the forepart of this announcement, or from BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Pres. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.

July 6—Commissioner John G. Capers, member of the national committee from South Carolina to the Chicago convention, has returned to Washington. The Washington Herald, in notting his return, quoted him as saying, that after the convention he devoted several days to inspecting some of the largest distilleries and oleo factories in West Virginia and Niagara Falls to make a short address to the National Distillers and Wholesalers' Convention in session at that place. Discussing some of the incidents of the convention, Mr Capers said that one of the things with which he was most impressed was that there was no general feeling against Mr. Taft among the colored delegates to the convention or among the colored voters of the West with whom he came in contact. A rather striking feature of this was illustrated by Mr. Capers' delegation to the convention. The delegation of eighteen was composed of twelve coloured members of this number Mr. Taft reserved fourteen Mr. Foraker two, and Mr. Fairbanks two, one of the four opposing Taft being a white delegate. The Herald also printed a letter from a correspondent bearing on the same subject which is reproduced below: "At this time when the attention of the country is being directed toward the Negro on account of the alleged disaffection said to exist in the ranks of the colored Republicans, and the attitude displayed at the Chicago convention toward the Southern delegates, I have been asked to give some expression of opinion as to the relations that exist between the better class of Southern whites and the better class of the Negro race. It is no gnawing the fact that the race question, which was primarily sectional, has now, through the evolution of politics, and the preachings of certain demagogues who are calligraphy agitation of the country in their ceaseless agitation of the race problem, become a national issue. They do nothing to facilitate those cordial relations that should exist between the two races, but are continually creating race antipathy "This class of self-savvy kinder have done nothing but to retard the progress of the masses of Negroes, for they well know that the bulk of them must necessarily live in the South; that being a fact, they must have the friendship and assistance of the Southern whites. "As an instance of the aforesaid friendship I have only to refer to the esteem with which the Hon. John G. Capers (a type of the real Southern governor) commissioned of internal revenue, is held to be the colored emperor of his office on account of his courteous and fair treatment of the Negroes in his bureau. "Mr. Capers, during his short term as commissioner of internal revenue, has made eleven colored appointments and six promotions." NEW JERSEY FOR TAPT. R. Heart Herbert Says Incidents of Reservoir's Administration Don't Flare. In view of the fact that the report had been spread that the colored voters were apethetic toward William H. Taft as a presidential candidate, the State Gazette yesterday interviewed R. Henri Herbert on the subject. Mr. Herbert is one of the best representatives of his race in the state and the nation. He said: "Colored Republicans will support Taft and Sherman loyally and they are not engaged in any revolt against the organization in this country. It is true that a considerable number of my race would have preferred other candidates because of President Roosevelt's advocacy of Mr. Taft, and in a few sporadic instances, for this reason, there is some opposition to the ticket. It is not widespread. We may be the balance of the power, in certain localities, whatever that may mean; but we are, nevertheless, taken as a class, a minority class in the community in the Republican party in the nation. And while it is the duty of the minority to protect and preserve and assert all its legal, civil, political and ethical rights, yet it cannot hope by any stretch of the imagination to coerce and dominate the majority of the party, either in its policy or candidates. "Roosevelt made a serious blunder, a grave mistake, when he discharged without honor the battle-carred veterans of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. Taft was simply the war secretary who executed the order. The President is human and because of that fact has made a good many mistakes. Yet he has been oftener right than wrong; and to my race in every instance, save this, he has been fair, just and helpful. His prosecution of the peonage cases; message against lynching; investigation of the enforcement of the 'Jim Crow' car laws of the Southern states; loyalty to Dr. Crung; appointment of Anderson—all prove that despite one mistaken impulsive act the heart of the man beats true to a belief in the fatherhood of God, the universal brotherhood of man and the spirit of Catholic democracy which should permeate the entire American body politic. "It would be unfortunate for my race if the Republican party should elect a President in spite of the opposition of any considerable number of our voters. Principles are more important than men. The platform is more important than the mere record of one man upon a single question. The party is more important than the candidate. And to it it is as true to-day as when Fredrick Donglass said it at an Eclectic Club dinner in 1888: The Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea." "So far as the local political situation is concerned, all talk of opposition to the Republican county organization by colored Republicans is the veriest 'tommy rot.' I hold no brief for General Murray and the other leaders I wish I did. But I say advisedly that whatever political patronage we have received in this country during the last half dozen years has been largely due to their initiative and their efforts. If you doubt this ask Andrew Hurley, Aaron Swan, Alexis Allen and other competent and deserving beneficiaries of this disposition to give us fair treatment. No, there is no danger of Mercer county colored Republicans 'bucking' the organization. "The colored man is naturally a Republican. Despite all the faults and weaknesses present in aggregate human nature, the Republican party stands today, as it has stood for half a century, the greatest agency in the development of American civilization, liberty and progress; and so far as my race is concerned, it is the most effective instrument we can use in securing that equality of opportunity which is our perennial hope and the goal: for which we have prayed and worked and striven ever since Lincoln struck the hell-forged shackles of slavery from our wronged and robbed ancestors. "It is a little too warm for any great political activity, but, in due time, our colored Republicans will organize for participation in the fall campaign. They will support Taft and Sherman with substantial unanimity and activity and effectively contribute toward the certain victory in November." Poughkeepsie Notes Mr. Charles Brown, formerly of Vassar Inn, left July 1 for Lake Mahopac, N. J., for the Summer, Mr. William Hawkins, of Federal Point, Fla., is in the city on a visit, Mrs. R. A. Taylor, of Troy, N. Y., was in the city for the boat faces on the 5th, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Brown will leave for Asbury Park, N. J., on the 1st for the Summer. The child of the Howard Orishan Asylum, who gave a very fine concert here on the 23d, were very highly spoken of. The exercise consisted of singing duets and recitations, also selections by the Elite Social Club. An address was delivered by Rey, Gordon, superintendent. Mrs. R. A. Taylor and Mrs. W. H.

Wye returned after a successful visit to the Brooklyn Howard Colored International School, of St. James, Long Island. There are very few of the men and women of the race who are earnestly engaged in work having its chief and the uplift of the race who do not the leading papers and the few newspapers published by the race. This issue it should be and the high place which THE New York Acc holds in the confidence and esteem of the leading men and women is even, a stronger evidence that the course pursued by THE Acc is right than is the rapidly growing subscription list, of which excusably, enthusiastic mention is made from time to. Negroes who think seriously are deeply concerned about certain great issues now before the people of this country. This leads to an eager quest for information as to what the race is doing, how it is changing, how conspicuous relations of life will affect the outcome of certain issues and hence the marked growth in the circulation, not only of THE Acc, but of most of the other race-papers the columns of which teem with facts about the race. I wish to present a few facts showing what the race is doing in the church work directed by the A. M. E. Church in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Kentucky, Michigan and a portion of Ontario. These states and a portion of Ontario constitute what is known in the A. M. E. Church as the Fourth Episcopal District but for the period of which I will write—that is, the time between May, 1904, and May, 1908-Michigan and Ontario not included. During the period Bishop C. C. Shaffer, M. D. D., was bishop in charge. At the earnest and sincere request of the conferences the general conference at Norfolk reissigned him to this district and added Michigan and Ontario. During the next four years thousands of the race may migrate to some portion of this territory. As men awaken to a sense of what life means they want the fullest, largest, richest life possible and they generally seek the environment which affords the best opportunities. The largest and richest life is that of convictions, of ideals and of hopes. The statistics which follow off of the convictions, ideals and hopes of 25,000 members of the A. M. E. Church and reveal the power of the silent influence of a great, sincere and able leader. The work of Bishop Shaffer goes on as silently as the growth of the vast fields of wheat in the land through which he travels, but as the abundant harvests tell the story so does the following statement which he has sent to each pastor together with a letter asking for greater work during the next four years.

SHAFFER Rev. Dr. A. R. Cooper Makes Annual Report. The auditorium of the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church was filled Sunday evening on the occasion of the preaching of the farewell sermon by the pastor, the Rev. A. R. Cooper, D. D. The annual report of the work for the year 1908 was given in an itemized statement. In the course of his remarks the Rev. Mr. Cooper said: "I am exceedingly proud of the union that now exists between the board of trustees and the board of stewards. So far as I know there exist good feelings and good will throughout the church. The spiritual condition of the church is excellent, there having been added to the membership during the past year, by probation and otherwise, 235 members." The report given last Sunday evening showed the following: Adults baptized, 2; infants baptized, 21; marringes, 23; funerals of members, 14; of miscellaneous persons, 42; total, 56. Number of pastoral visits made, 561; amount given to the sick and destitute and car fare, $73.50; number of sermons preached during the year, 314; amount raised by the trustees, $360.14; amount raised by the stewards, $228.38; Sunday school, $228.38; Allen Endearer League, $257.74; Mitte Society, $75.50; for missions (Easter), $126; Educational Day, $41; Children's Day, $16; the Happy Twenty-four Club, $125. Total amount raised in all donations to mortgage debt of the parsonage, $1.50 and all interest to date on balance; a new furnace for the church, $246; the parsonage refurnished and paid for; church organ repaired at a cost of $115; plumbing, $100; and a new piano for the Sunday school. Rumor has reached us that there is some determined opposition evidenced among the people of the congregation in the return of Dr. Cooper to Bridge Street Street. We are informed quite reliably that he will undoubtedly be returned. Madison Notes. Mrs. Julia B. Reid, wife of Rev. B.

To the Editor of THE AGE. Now that it is all over, the only sensible thing or need for the NEGro to do is to pull off, roll up his sleeves, and go into the thickest of the fray, and do his best to elect Taft and Sherman. That many honest, intelligent men of the race opposed the nomination of our nominee for the presidency, goes without saying, but the majority of the people's representatives in National Convention assembled, decreed otherwise, and we all should bow to the wint of the majority. The history of the Republican party is an open book, replete with examples heroic deals and every right that the NEGro now enjoys and opposed with all of its might, every measure calculated to lower him in the scale of manhood. The Negro who would support Mr. Bryan in the face of his Cooper Union speech is either a knave or a fool or perhaps both, a human monstrosity unworthy of the name Negro. The Negro Democrat is an anomaly in politics, a misfit in the architecture of society. At no period during all of his career, the NEGro stood in need of friends as at the present. A mist be made now would do the race a far greater injury than at any other time since its enamciation. J. SILAS HARRIS Kansas City, Mo., June 27th. Newark Notes. The members of Mt.

WALTON ```markdown ``` HARRISON STEWART To be the leading comedian of a large musical comedy at the age of 26 years and in the theatrical profession less than two years is, to use the vernacular of the stage. "going some." Such is the distinction soon to be. enjoyed by Harrison Stewart, formerly star of the Pekin Stock Company, Chicago, who aspires to be to colored theatricals what George Cohan is to the white show busi- Stewart is to head the "Oyster Man Company/, pending the recovery of Ernest Hogan, for whom the musical comedy was written, and who starred in same until last January when he was compelled to temporarily retire from the stage. At first Hurtig & Seamon determined to close the "Oyster Man" Company until Ernest Hogan was able to resume playing the leading role. But a few weeks ago it was decided to send out the show this fall. The question at once arose, "Who is able to step into Ernest Hogan's shoes and make good?" Several comedians were considered but it was decided to give young Stewart an opportunity to make the people laugh, as his work at the Pekin theatre was such that all leading Negro stars predict a bright future for him. He has signed with Hurtig & Seamon for two years, and in the event of Ernest Hogan's early return to the stage Stewart will either be put out in another show or play the comedy part opposite to the "Unbleached American." Harrison Stewart entered into the professional ranks July 7, 1900, signing with Robert Motts, proprietor of the Pekin theatre, for one year. His engagement was so satisfactory to all that in 1907 he signed with the management for nine months. This spring he withdrew as a member of the Pekin Stock Company to try his luck in New York City. Stewart went to Chicago from his home in Washington, D. C. While there he became interested in amateur theatricals and went to the "Windy City" with William Foster, who thought his townman had bright prospects in the dramatic world. He was first given an opportunity to show his ability as a performer in the olio at the Pekin Theatre and did not make much of a hit. Shortly afterwards J. Ed Green gave him an important part in the "Two African Princes," which role had been filled with great success by Andrew Tribble, who resigned from the Pekin Stock Company to join the Cole and Johnson Company. Stewart made good from the start, and when Bobby Kemp left the Pekin all the leading comedy roles were given him. It was not long before the name of Harrison Stewart was a big drawing card for the little playhouse, and the management saw fit to bill the new comedian all over town. During his stay at the Pekin Theatre Stewart created comedy roles for twenty-six shows, of which twenty-two were musical comedies and four were farce comedies, and all in twenty months. In the opinion of many of the Western papers the young comedian established a record by appearing in that number of plays in that space of time. With the exception of six shows Stewart assisted in the writing of the words or music. In an answer to the question propounded by he writer regarding his ideas of show business, the young comedian said: "To begin with, I am always afraid of being on the stage too long. I like to make my point, get my laugh and get away. My idea is to make a Harrison Stewart reputation. By this I mean to work upon my own original basia and let Bert Williams, Ernest Hogan, Bob Cole, S. H. Dudley, and all other comedians have theirs. I feel that the public demands new styles in comedy lines, and I try to be as original as I can. I have not yet decided whether to use cork or not, as there seems to be much sameness nowadays among comedians of my race, and while I do not feel sure of making good minus cork I would like to make an experiment to ascertain if it is absolutely necessary for a Negro comedian to use cork in order to gain success. "To be frank, I don't think there is a funny bone in me, but I believe I know what is necessary to bring out clearly the situations which provoke laughter. I think the time has come when you must do more than put on a ridiculous make-up or wear funny clothes to produce laughter. "I want my situations built so they will take care of themselves—that is, in a measure. Daily my brother and sister professionals tell me what a white audience will not stand for. Now, I may be wrong, but I really feel that the white, audience or any other audience will stand for anything we do provided we don't properly. "To act properly means we should devote more time to study, to pay more hours attending theatres who brook can see shows or productions us." THE MUSICIAN I regard the show business seriously and by no mean a play-thing. For even in my short experience I have found that you can not fool the theatre-going public this day and time. For the people know what they want, and besides, they walk to the box office and lay down their money for it. Then, if they don't get value received they don't want anything. Say what you may, but it is a hard thing to entertain an educated audience because the people attend theatres weekly and know what is good and what is bad. "I have met many professional friends since I have become an actor, most of whom seem to wish me well. But I consider myself indebted to Robert Metts for the opportunity he gave me to display what little talent I have; to J. Ed Green for his invaluable instructions in every way pertaining to the business and the fundamental principles with which he made me familiar after much hard work; to William Foster, who has been a friend in need and a friend indeed; to Ernest Hogan, who has always sought to show me things that would be beneficial not only to myself but to all young performers; and I believe he will give any of the young performers an opportunity to make good, providing you show him you are sincere in your attentions. Last but not least to my old fried George Walker-who has sat up many a night telling me of the methods used by him to elevate himself to the high position he now holds, which has been an inspiration to me at all times. "Since becoming a comedian my motto to success has been: Theo, our professional road looks muddy Let us never cease to study You try hard and so will I To be headliners before we die HARRISON "Bandanna Land" to Open August 3. Although one of the last shows to close for the summer, "Bandanna Land" will be the first to open the theatrical season of 1908-09. The management has issued a call to the members notifying them to appear for rehearsal at the Majestic Theatre, July 15. The opening date of Bandanna Land will be August 3, at Atlantic City, where the company will remain for a week. If the arrangements are completed the show will appear in Washington, D.C., during the week of August 10. At present some little trouble is being experienced over the selection of a suitable theatre. After a week in Washington "Bandanna Land" will move to New York City for a two weeks' run at the Grand Opera House. Well Known Performers Organize the "Frogs." An organization to be known as the "Frogs," was formed Sunday evening at the residence of George W. Walker, 52 West 133d street. The prime movers in forming such an organization are the leading actors of the race, and it is the intention of the incorporators to make the "Frogs" to the Negro performer, as well as to members of the race, what the Lambs' Club and the Players' Club mean to the white profession. The "Frogs" have been formed for social, historical and library purposes with a view to promoting social intercourse between the representative memoirists and theoretical profession and to those connected closely directly with art, literature, music, scientific and liberal professions and the patrons of arts; for the creation of a library relating especially to the history of the Negro, and the record of all worthy achievements and the collection and preservation of all folk-bore, whether that of song or terpsichordian originality, of pictures and bills of the plays in which the Negro has participated. Before many months the "Frogs" intend to have the finest Negro club house in America. The officers are: Directors--Frogs George W. Walker, J. Rosamond Johnson, J. A. Shipp, R. C. McPherson, Bob Cole, Alex, Rogers, and Tom Brown. Officers--Frog George W. Walker, president; Frog J. Rosamond Johnson, vice president; Frog J. A. Shipp, treasurer; Frog C. McPherson, secretary. House Committee--Frog J. Brown, chairman; Frog R. C. McPherson, art teacher A. Walton. Auditing Committee--Frog Samuel Corker, Jr. chairman; Art Committee--Frog Bert A. Williams, Frog Bob Cole, Frog Alex. Rogers, historian; Frog James Reese Europe, librarian. Colored Organized Hourly. At the recent New York State Music Teachers' Convention, which was attended by some of America's foremost musicians, Melville Charlton was the only colored artist selected to give a recital. He gave an organ recital on the large four manual electric organ in the great hall, and his program included Toccata in F. Major, J. S. Bach, Mac Dowell, Grieg, Toccata from the Fifth Symphony by Widor; chromatic fantasia by Talele and others. His masterly playing elicited commendation from Prof. Samuel A. Baldwin, F. A. G. O., and President of the organ at the National Music Center. Prof. Warren Andrew president of the convention; Prof. H. Brooks Day, Vice-President Reidberg of the Courier and others. Mr. Charlton is one of the few colored musicians who has mastered harmony and counterpoint, and who has written a double figure. Death of Emma Chacon Tucker Emma Chacon Tucker, recently of the vaudeville team of Gordon and Chacon, died after a lingering illness June 30-at her residence, 218 West Twenty-ninth street. Services were held over the remains at the family residence last Friday. The interment occurred at Cypress Hill. Rev. E. W. Daniel of St. Phillips Church officiated. The deceased was well known in the theatrical profession with which she has been involved since the 1920s. During that time she was a number of both white and colored shows and was considered a good performer. She was thirty-eight years old and left a husband, Will Tucker, and a sister, Sadie Britton of the Brittona. Before her death she professed religion.

New Orleans to New Beaufort of Fine Theater NEW ORLEANS, July 7—If the present pythians of the management are carried out, New Orleans will be able to boast of the most palatial Negro theatres in America by fall. Work is being pushed rapidly with a view to opening the playhouse by October. Negro Pythians from all parts of Louisiana and nearly 2,000 residents of this city took part in the recent dedication of the Negro Public Theatre, the Flower and Star streets, in which the theatre is located. The building is being erected at the cost of $200,000. The ceremonies attending the cornerstone setting were very impressive. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green official as master of ceremonies.

Mme. Hackley Captivating California. Oaktree, July 6.—Mme. E. Azalta Hackley has been meeting with much success in the western country, and for singing has won for her complimentary remarks from every quarter. Her recent song recital in this city, at Hamilton Auditorium, was a decided success, and brought together the largest and most representative audience of the season. In mentioning the recital the San Francisco and Oakland Western Outlook said "All the bay cities and Sacramento and San Jose were well represented, Madam E. Azala Hackley, the lycee soprano of the race, was the star, and she was assisted by the best local talent. Much was expected, and it is safe to conclude that she was appreciated by the entire program was of the highest order and the result was a musical event that will long be remembered, both as creditable to the participants and also to the ladies who worked so faithfully to make it a success. "In 'Bel Haggio' Mrs. Hackley immediately captivated her audience, and her voice showed the value of excellent performance, the perfect control of the same. She was handsomely gowned, and her pleasing smile and charming personality all combined to make her triumph a complete one. For an encore she sang, very sweetly, 'Coming Through the Rye.' "And so it was with number, and they were of every variety—light, sentimental operetta; she captivated completely the audience and showed that in Madame Hackley the race has a great artist. "At the conclusion of the program Madam Hackley made a few remarks on the future of the race in music, and her experiences abroad. They were timely and much enjoyed. "The following was the program: 'Violin solo (a) romance, (b) burleske (Rise), Miss Virginia Moore. "Reading. 'How He Saved St. Michael's, Miss Kate Grasses.

Negro Editors on "Blind Tom's" Death Following are several editorials from the pen of Negro editors on the death of "Blind Tom." "Tom" was never out of slavery. He was always held in bondage, even to the time of his death. Chicago Defender. It is reported that "Blind Tom," the famous pianist, died last week. Will some one please inform us how many times this makes that "Blind Tom" have died? A learned journalist. "Blind Tom" and his mother have passed away. Their case, from a financial viewpoint, is but one of many in this country since the days of reconstitution. Nevertheless, it is enough to make one's heart blood—Cleveland Gazette. "Blind Tom" was not a popular hero nor had he other gifts than the one that dominated his being, but he contributed much to the enjoyment of multitudes of people at his heart and at his feet. Therefore, he was a success, and measured by the accepted standards of opportunity and industry his success was as marked as his efforts were honorable.—Toska Plainlealer. "Blind Tom" had a decided passion for him. But he preferred the plano on which he received a few lessons, but had opportunity to practise very much. He had a gift for the instrument and disposition, which perhaps which perhaps would not have obtained in either case had he not been born to one-sided in his faculties. We feel to say that he would have been great under better circumstances, when the chances are that we would have had no "Blind Tom" under other circumstances—Indianapolis Freeman. A real "natural-born" musician, the most phenomenal perhaps that the race has produced, died a few days ago in Boboken, N. J. For nearly fifty years this wonderful pianist has thrilled audiences only in America, by his master where he was taken by his former master, James Bethune. Bethune amassed a great fortune through the talent of "Blind Tom," and, as is usually the case, appropriated the money largely to his own use. It is too commonly the case with the talented members of the race that they spend such little of their fortune among their own people. In the case of "Blind Tom" there is some little excuse, however, owing to his affliction. As an example of the great truth that God is in selecting human agencies, through whom he reveals his great truths, no account is taken of the color of the akin or of race, the case of "Blind Tom" is conspicuous.—Brooklyn Kye. Some Stories of "Blind Tom." Few public performers ever played to more money than Blind Tom, who died recently. He was prominently before the public for twenty years, and after that when his trustees were changed he still continued to play, but not with as much success. His new managers did not know how to handle him properly, and handling Tom took lots of tacks. Until only a few years ago he played, and his last appearance was probably on the variety stage. For forty years he was an amateur, and third half time he played in almost every town of any size in this country and Canada and made tours on the other side of the Atlantic. Even in small towns he did well, and as running this show was not an expensive affair the profits were large. A statement of accounts made by his old manager showed that in one month in 1884, which was spent in Virginia, the receipts were more than $4,000 and the expenses $2,000. He usually kept on the road for nine months out of the twelve, so that his yearly profits may have varied more than $0.000. On the other side it was said he realized about $200,000, so that Tom, while in good hands was a source of steady income. It is singular that his old manager, Thomas Warburst, who for twenty years took him all over this country and through Canada, died six months ago, and it was under his management that Tom was most successful. He was well cared for and well coached in his work, and he earned many thousands of dollars for the Bethune family, on whose estate he lived. About twenty years ago Blind Tom got into the courts. He was born during slave times and later Gern. Bethune acted as his trustee. It is said that up to 1873 he had earned more than a quarter of a million dollars. Gen. Bethune had turned the trusteeship over to his son, John G. Bethune. John Bethune ran a racing stable which was said to be sanctioned by the Bethune earnings. He died in 1883, and after his earnings, widowed brought suit against the Bethune family, alleging that as widow of John Bethune she was rightful trustee of Blind Tom. In this she was supported by Charity Wiggins, the mother of Blind Tom. JOHN H. HARRIS Tom. Mrs. Bethune won her suit, and since 1890 Blind Tom has been in her care, but she only succeeded in making a success of him for a few years. Blind Tom was born a few miles from Columbus in the county of Muscogee, Ga., on May 25, 1849. His parents were field hands of the pure Negro blood, with nothing to distinguish them from the mass of their race, except that his mother had small feet and hands and was of an active, merry temperament. He was born on the estate of Thomas Greene Bethune, where his parents were slaves. Tom was been blind, and as he was unable to learn anything from sight it were generally thought that he was albicotic. When very young he showed a great fondness for sounds, and musical sounds exerted a controlling interest over him. He learned to talk when young and spoke clearly, but his words had no meaning and were simply imitations of what he heard. Gen. Botheme, when he heard that Tom's mother had said Tom had not sense enough to learn, declared this was a mistake. He went to Tom and said: "Tom sit, down" Tom repeated the words. The General then repeated the order and at the same time sat Tom on the floor. Tom got up" said the General. Tom will tell repeat him. Then ordered Tom to tell and lie him to his feet. Next time Tom was told to sit down he did so at once, and promptly rose to his feet when ordered. From that time Tom learned quickly. Every one tried to teach him. When Tom was about four years old a piano was brought to the house and as soon as he heard this Tom was entranced. One night his mother had neglected to lock her door and Tom disappeared. He then his way into the Bethune house through the door in the morning the piano was heard playing it correctly with both hands and using the black as well as the white keys. From that time on he was allowed to use the piano and soon he could repeat any piece he heard. Then he began to compose himself. He would sit at the piano for hours. When asked what he was playing he would say, "That was what the trees said to me" or "That is what the wind says. One day a girl music teacher of Cohinum town Tom told Tom that know more music than he could teach it. Tom was later coached by some painters. They played for him and he learned what they played and afterward repeated it in public. In this way Tom learned to play thousands of pieces and Wait For the Season's Greatest Novelty !!

NEW AMSTERDAM ORCHESTRA. his repertoire were sonatas of Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Mozart, all the best ballet marches, many of the pianoforte solos well known, plantation songs, and a number of original descriptive of what he had heard. One of these was "The Rain Storm." When very young Tom used to stand in a passageway and listen to the rain patterning on the roof, and from this he made his "Rain Storm." He was not far distant from the battle of Manassas, and this he made the subject of another piece. Tom was born blind but when three or four years old it was noticed that he turned toward the sun. In time he developed a little sight. He could see luminous bodies, and persons whom he knew well he could recognize when a piano, and musicians would try to get him by striking keys at random, and however dissorient the chords might be Tom would have every note with extraordinary quickness. He did this for Charles Hall, for Mocheles and other noted musicians. The Albany Argus of January, 1866, described Tom a "a wild, wild figure singular at all points which should be carved and curved at all points that should present acute times—loose jointed, close wooled, thick tipped, sprawled footed, with orthopedic almost covered with disks, with an idiotic, staring expression of countenance—in short a regular specimen of the African in his unadulterated and barbarous condition." It then described what Tom could do, how he would name any note struck, how he would call off correctly twenty notes that When in public Tom would play what he was told to. When he had finished and applauded he would turn toward the audience and applaud himself by clapping his hands. He seemed to take as much enjoyment out of his performance as his listeners. He was always happy when he was with a piano, and when he and his managers arrived in town he was often locked in the hall in which he was to play during the evening. He was perfectly safe while he could play the piano. In many ways he was just like a child, but was even more trouble than a child. His meals were always when food was brought to him he would always insist that the sugar bowl should be as full as it was possible to make it. Unless it was full Tom would storm and refuse to eat anything. Then when he had finished his meal he would steal the sugar left and hide it. He was so helpless that he had to be dressed and even to have his face washed. It was not every one that he would allow to attend to his toilet. On one occasion his manager had to leave him in the hotel, and before leaving him explained how he could regulate the heat in the room. "Now," said me. "If this room gets to hot turn this radiator this way, if too cold turn it the other way," and he illustrated what he said by guiding Tom's hand. Then to end out if Tom understood he asked what he would do if the room was hot. Tom had his fingers on the radiator and with case pulled it out. When very young Tom used to like to hurt other children so that he might hearken them cry. It was thought that he did not do this out of cruelty but because of his fondness for all sounds. Once he choked a younger brother nearly to death, and at another time burned an infant with his hands and an infant with his hands and any exclamation indicative of pain always gave him great pleasure, although he always expressed sympathy for the sufferer. Once when in a small tower his manager locked him in the hall usual and Tom amused himself with the piano. When his manager returned he was surprised to find Tom holding a man in his arms and then holding him. The man was villing and Tom welighted. Another peculiar fancy of Tom's was to stand on his head. Almost the first thing he would do on entering his bedroom was to jump over the foot of the bed first and stand on his head on the floor. This he would do over and over again and then rub his hands and chuckle. When Tom first made his appearance many musicians were skeptical as to his abilities and many visited him. One of the first was Prof. George A. Kelly of Pittsburg. Tom was four years old at the time and in order to test him Prof. Kelly played a piece of his own composition which had not been published. Tom played it at once as accurately and with as much expression as the professor. Thirteen years afterward Prof. Kelly saw Tom again. Tom remembered the incident of many years previous and played the prof's piece for him again. Tom could name any note played on a piano, and musicians would try to get him by striking keys at random, and however disoriented the chords might be Tom would name every note with extraordinary quickness. He did this for Charles Hall, for Mocheles and other noted musicians. The Albany Argus of January, 1866, described Tom a "a wild, unmouth figure at all points which should be carved and curved at all points that should present acute lines—hose jointed, close wooled, thick lipped, sprawl footed, with forearm almost covered with kinky locks, eyelids prominent and distended, and an biotic, staring expression of countenance—in short a regular specimen of the African in his unadulterated form." It eroded what Tom could do, how he would name any note struck, how he would call off correctly twenty notes that had been sounded rapidly, how he played Balthoven's "Sonata Pathetique" without a false note or discord or omission. Tom's wonderful memory lasted through his life. When last performing in Brooklyn he was visited by the daughter of his old manager and asked if he remembered one who had gone twenty years before. Why yes, said Tom. "She never took much pace," and then he talked of his old friend and seemed happier than he had been for a long time.--New York Sun. Missouri-Illinois Sporting . Baseball League to Have Daily Schedule. Sr. Louis, July 7.--Owing to the success of the promoters in organizing a colored baseball league known as the Missouri, Illinois Sporting League, it highly probable that next season the clubs will have a weekly schedule, by which to play instead of a weekly one as this season. The clubs play each Sunday. There are six clubs in the league, to-wit: St. Louis Giants, Charles Mills, manager; Imperials, Thomas Kyle, of East St. Louis manager; L. C. Dyera, William Louis manager; Oak Dales, William Hamilton, manager; Lloyda, John Thomas, manager, and the Kentucky, Brooklyn, Ill., William Mooby, manager. The officers of the league are: Bill Cross, president; Charles Mills, secretary; Con Kuebler, treasurer. The present standing of the clubs: Imperials, first; Oakdales, second; St. Louis Giants, third; Dyera, fourth; Kentucky, fifth, and Lloyda, sixth. Philadelphia Giants Win Double- Header. Bronx. Oval was the scene of a double header last Sunday afternoon in which the first game was between the Philadelphia Giants and the Royal Giants. It was the same old story, the lads from Quaker City to defeat the Royal Giants 7 to 0. To win the Philadelphia Giants pit up a good fielding game and were timely with the hit. The second game was between the Philadelphia Giants and the Bronx Athletics, the former winning by the score of 6 to 3.

Shadd, for many years projessor of Materia Medica and therapeutics and more recently secre- tary and treasurer of the medical de- partment of Howard University. Will you allow me space in your paper through which I-may pay’ my feeble tribute of.respect to his memory? I’knew him not as a personal friend; T am one. of the transient many .who as students of the university . have passed within and out of his influence -during his long connection with the in- stitution. His death induces retro- spection and as T think of his depart- ure T realize what a great help his life has heen to me. I knew him only as a teacher: he wos made secrectary and treasurer after ay graduation, there- fore the many considerations which one in that capacity can show a “strug gling and deserving student” had nothing to 4o with the formation of my appreciation of him. © Time and experience have Mot re- moved my early impresion. To me he was a great teacher and T think he so impressed all. those who attended his lectures, but the ones who had the good fortune th be in attendance while he. had charge of the noon cljr** saw him at his best.

To im he was always kind and considerate, I can fecall nothing in connection wtih my experi- ence with him that is not of the pleas- antest nature. I never saw him angry or out of sorts.
