VOL. XXI. No. 42 Lawyer W. E. Henderson of Indianapolis Claims Vote for Bryan DERRICK REPLIES Says No Mention of Negro In Democratic Platform In Strict Keeping With Party Policy ANTI-TAFT NEGROES NOT ENTHUSIASMIC FOR BRYAN—CLERGYMEN CLAIM DISFRANCHISMENT WILL FOLLOW DEFEAT OF ADMINISTRATION. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 11.—In a signed telegram addressed to the New York World, W. E. Henderson, of Indianapolis, says: "So far as my observation goes, my race is decidedly in favor of Bryan as against Taft. The Republican platform in former years has contained stronger declarations against franchisement in the South but failed to do anything. They defeated the Force bill, the Crumpacker bill. Their declarations amount to naught with us. "The Democratic platform is stronger than I expected. The Brownsville affair will undoubtedly be resented at the polls, Happy stroke of Democrats in placing Kern on the ticket. The great majority of the Negro vote of this State will be cast for Bryan. They will vote the Republican State and Congressional ticket. Bryan and Kern will undoubtedly carry the State." BRYAN'S ELECTION WOULD BE CALAMITY. Brownville Will Have No Effect on Thoughtful Negroes, Saya M. Dr. Derrick. Bishop Derrick, of Flushing, N. Y., in a way to the above telegram, says: With all manly and thoughtful Negro, the Brownville matter will have no effect in the coming campaign. Had the Democratic platform mentioned the Rights and privileges of the Negro, having mentioned them it is in strict keeping with its traditional teachings and practices. "Mr. Bryan is considered among the Negroes" as a very able and efficient representative of the Democracy of fifty years ago, and is therefore at variance with the leading thoughts of to-day. Again, we consider that Mr. Bryan, if elected, would be a calamity to the financial and business interests, especially to the Negroes. For this reason we shall be found on platforms and in pulp advocates the election of that inexible and irresponsible valgous champion of equal rights, the citizen of the world, the cream of great men, William Howard Taft, ("Bishop" W. B. DERRICK) 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 risky in their work with their Jews. Win we want to win without the aid of the Negro vote, recently declared a prominent Kentucky Democrat. In an interview Governor J. K. Vardaman said: "The most dangerous thing which can be done, risky both, for the Democratic party and for the nation, is currying favor with the bigger vote." During the Democratic convention Governor Vardaman said: "I would rather the Democratic party went down forever and he 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 veered savages." New Democracy Will Get But Little Support. Certain Negroes of Philadelphia who have been affiliated with the Democratic party are planning a "Negro Democracy," which is to be operated from that city. They hope to influence many Negroes in New Jersey and Delaware to support the Democratic ticket, and a newspaper, to be called The Afro-American News, is to be started here next week in the interest of the Denver nominees, which will urge the Negroes of the two States named to support Bryan. The new National Committee for this State will be responsible to give will give the movement financial aid and will see that the National Committee from Delaware and New Jersey also help the scheme. There are only three Democratic members of the House from Pennsylvania, and Chairman Andrews believes he can reduce the number to two. But he cannot do this if the Negro vote is lost. There are 30,000 Negro voters in Philadelphia. The leaders of the anti-Taft forces are making much political capital of the resolutions which were adopted by the New England Baptist convention, which recently was held in Philadelphia. The convention, which was composed of negates and pastors of Negro Baptist churches of the New England States, New York, New Jersey, Iowa and Pennsylvania, criticised the manner of "Taft's nomination and protested against the recognition given to the "Lily Whites" in the convention. The resolutions were put through by the Rev. William B. Reed, of Madison, N. I., who wanted Governor Hughes nominated. Although they did not put the convention on record as opposed to the election of Taft the Negroes are working to have called a special meeting THE NEW YORK AGE. of the executive board of the convention to show the convention a new phase of the political situation. **Protestors Talk Sound Scene.** The Negro leaders who are to look out for the Administration's interest in the campaign laugh at the promise of William T. Ferguson, secretary of the National Political League, to deliver 600,000 Negro votes to Bryan if the Democratic party will promise to divide the spoils. They say it has been so long since the party has been victorious in a national election that if it should win in November there will he be so many hungry Southern Democrats, looking for power in the Negroes. Although the anti-Taft Negroes and the Administration forces are making big pretensions, there is an element that is saying nothing on the political situation. It is noteworthy, too, that in this class are many who formerly were profuse in their expressions of political beliefs, but now are not talking. There is held in the city of Philadelphia every Monday a conference of Negro Methodist and Baptist preachers to discuss phases of church and race work. The clergymen say the Negro voters will not flock to the standard of Democracy. Their sentiments are voiced by the Rev. Dr. W. R. Fickland, pastor of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church of Wilmington, Del., which is the leading Negro church in that State. Said Dr. Fickland: "Although it is true many Negro voters are far from satisfied at the outcome of the Chicago convention, and are resentful at the treatment of the race by certain Republican leaders, the masses of Negro voters will not support the Democratic candidates. They cannot support the party so long as its affairs are controlled by the South. The praty always has been radical in its treatment of the race, and if it should come into power in the Nation its first efforts would be devoted to attempting to disfranchise the Negro nationally, as opposed to gaining control. Despite his sentiments, if Bryan were elected he would be dominated by the South. If the Democratic party were to win there is no telling what might happen. Although I feel as keenly resentful as any one else over certain treatment accorded to the race, I cannot see how we can improve things by going over to our uncompromising enemy." Wilberforce University We were abashed and dumb-founded at the trustee meeting of Wilberforce University, when we were creditably inundated with $10,000 to pay off her debt. We mean her mortgage and current debts. This was startling and frightful news to us, but what made it more despairing and frightful, was to learn that she is running deeper in debt every year. The State of Ohio nearly owns Wilberforce University, grounds apartments, everything with it. In a few years she will take it, to fly from us, and our great Wilberforce University, which we purchased in the spring of 2001, will be a thing of the past. As far as the English University is known, and with excellent perks our officers, ministers and bishops have referred to us and complained her existence and upon her labor, achievements and great men which she has graduated. It will be a calamities day for the M.A. Church when it is herded to the world that Wilberforce found them in. The A.M.E. Church thermometrically speaking will go down below zero, and any member of the said Church, he heaven, demean, elder or bishop, who not will shed tears will meet a cell in the penitentiary. While we know this remark will not be appreciated in every circle, we are the forced to speak it nevertheless. The cuts from the president of Wilberforce to the lowest professor must be cut down, for we can get competent men and women to take their places with far less salaries. The college now is behind $2,000 and $2,000 with some of the money in the building, when you bring in your money, they could live much better on smaller wages. The salaries at Wilberforce are too high. We favor laying everything, else aside, general officers' support African appropriations, home and foreign missionary enterprises, and save Wilberforce—Voice of the People. Bryan's True Position. The committee of Negro leaders who visited Mr. Bryan after the Republican National Convention to see what he would do toward satisfying the grievance of the race, appear to have concluded that Mr. Bryan personally could be depended upon and that he was worthy of their support. Yet his answers to their questions cannot be regarded as illuminating or conclusive. Regarding the Brownsville outrage, Mr. Bryan takes the same position that Senator Tillman did, which was against the President. He also allowed the General Southern question, and particularly the Southern suffrage laws, he is understood to have said frankly that he could promise nothing in support of Negro claims and aspirations. Of course, Negroes who break away from the Republican ticket this year must understand the situation a Democratic President would occupy, and they must support Bryan, if at all, on the theory that the time has come to teach the Republican party the needed lesson that the Negro vote cannot always be regarded as a stationary asset—Springfield Republican. Senator Hellin Steps at St. Louis En Route (a Convention—Rendy to Helfin. Sr. Route (a Convention—Rendy to Helfin, from Alabama, was in this city on his way to the Democratic convention, and said he had the same revolver with him that he used to shoot at the Negro in Washington, and was only sorry that he didn't kill the Negro. Look out, Negro Democrats, the Senator may go gunning for you. What then?

The meeting was held under the anpies of the Colored Business League of Forth Worth, of which R. C. Houston, Jr., was president.

Smith, of Paris, Tex., called the League to Order for business of the organization. Jones of fered the invitation and Reed H. Harle made the welcoming address W. C. Rollins, of Prairie View, responded. The president made some very pointed remarks on the progress the Negro is making in business in the State and the purposes of the organization and the good it is expected to do in bettering conditions among Negroes. At the afternoon session the members spent three hours in a general discussion on the state of business conditions among the Negroes and opportunities for business. The prevailing sentiment seemed to be that, if the Negroes secured homes, engaged in business and supported the business enterprises at present conducted by the race it would help the Negroes financially and militarily and make him better and more chosen, as follows: R. L. Smith, president, Paris, Texas; R. C. Houston, first vice president, Fort Worth, Texas; Prof. Jose Washington, secretary, Math. W. C. Rollins, corresponding secretary, Paris, Texas; R. B.

NEW YORK CHURCH NEEDS MONEY Pastor Fernandera of Union A. M. E. Makes Appeal for $10,000 for New Church. For eighty-seven years the Union American Methodist Episcopal Church, now no 230 East Eighty-fifth street, New York City, formerly on West Fifth street, has educated factor among the colored people of this city. The congregation grew in its West Fifth street home until, in 1857, it moved to East Eighty-fifth street, to a church building purchased from the Dutch Reformed Society. There it experienced increasing prosperity during the pastorate of the late Bishop Cook until, in 1897, the structure was condemned and torn down. Unprepared for the emergency, a building insufficient for the demands was all that could be procured; there he congregation has remained, laboring unevenly, difficulties to keep the church active in the interest of fallen humanity. $10,000 would make possible the remodeling of the present structure and the addition of an additional building on a space 50 feet by 20 feet in front of the present structure, affording facilities equal to present demands. The need of such a church building is apparent by the statement that on the East side, from 59th street to 116th street, there is no church building for the colored people better than the presided over church, building, and save two missions in store rooms, it is the only religious influence for the seven thousand colored people in this radius. The present pastor, the Rev. J. C. Fernandard, after three years of labor, appeals to the public for help. His hope is to be able to start work during the month of August, so that by winter the congregation can be prepared. Solutions may be sent to the treasures, J. C. Derwerney, No. 1794 Third avenue, or to the pastor. NEGRO BOYS' REFORMATORY Dedicated at Largely Attended Sessions of State Federation ' of Colored States Montgomery, Ala., July 7.

All Hands Unite in Proclaiming Republican Party The Party—The Summer Social Season—Miss Woods Appointed In Census Bureau Boston, July 13.—The outside world shall not mistake the noise which comes from Boston as its sentiment. Neither must it feel that the ideas given blatant expression by our radicals is our prevailing belief. Boston's Negroes are overwhelmingly Republican, and this year is no exception to the rule. But lest some erroneous impression in the coming campaign may be given by our self-assertive, get-notoriety-at-any-cost class, a word of explanation and classification. There are three classes of Boston Negroes, the educated, the "intellectuals" and the common people. Just as education was recently defined to mean university training plus common sense, plus experience, just so our educated are the men of profession and business whose names are not fixtures in the list of perpetually "indignant, protesting and resoluting radicals." Our educated men are Republicans. The "intellectuals" are our poverty-striken radicals. These are the men who, for the most part, with a bare smattering of classical education, avoid plain language and common sense just as they affect to scorn common people. Their independence, just like their influence and their numbers, is a negligible quantity. These "intellectuals" can be common people, but they will not be them. When they have been "seen" they will stop their whining. The "Miners" the Rockbone of the Race. Then there is the bulk of our people, the so-called "common people" and the "masses". These every day Negroes anchored well by their common sense and mother wit to the stable mornings of progress, are the mainstay of this generation and the producers of the next. The hot winds of appeals to their prejudice have come, all the arguments of folly and of falsehood have been raised upon them, and they have finally been in any group or gathering of this class and listen to their sentiments and philosophy. They are Republicans to the minorborn, and for and against similar reasons they will tell the why and what before. Business and Professional Wear of Boat Designers and Prodving Fitters In a canvass of the professional and business colored men, one will find that almost without exception they are coming this fall. Both of the Republican newspapers, the Cambridge Mirror and Advocate will work hard for the success of the ticket, while the Democratic paper may come to its support under certain circumstances. Our prominent lawyers, including U. S. District Attorney W. H. Lewis, ex-Department Commander Wolff and Juvenile Court Clerk C. W. M. Williams; our prominent doctors like Dr. S. E. Courney, ex Boston School Committeeman; Dr. W. E. Lane, ex Inspector of Milk and Vinegar for Cambridge, and Dr. I. L. Roberts, member of the Common Council, our leading preachers Dr. T. W. Henderson, Dr. P. W. White and Rev. C. A. Ward and such of our business men as Mr. J. H. Lewis, merchant tailor; Gilbert C. Harris, wig merchant, and Mr. Jesse Gooden, general grocer, are all good Republicans working this year as always before for the success of the Republican party. Temporary Epilepsy Church Will Soon Arch-Donovan G. A. McFaure, priest, in charge of St. Balthoenelews' Mission Columbia Street, Cambridge, is growing very rapidly into the popular esteem in this community Living up in his church work to his past reputation as a scholarly church man and able race man, he bids fair to he a distinct accession to the ranks of conservative and constructive race leaders hereabouts. St. Andrews Association, the temporary Episcopal church organization is growing by leaps and bounds and is now a little doubt that Bishop Lawrence will have to provide a suitable home for the colored Episcopals on his return from Europe. In a patriotic address last Sunday at the Mission, the Reverend spoke from the text, "He has not dealt thus, with any nation," and "Righteousness exalteth a nation." In words inspiring, eloquent and profound he exhorted his hearers to a, broader and non-racial love of and respect for this country and its institutions. He said the Negro and its institution part of the Negro to look at its problems through the eyes of Negroes and not through the eyes of patriotic and broad-minded Americans will in the end mean rain and disaster for the Negro.

EDUCATORS OF MANY STATES Meet in Louisville at Convention of Colored Teachers EDUCATION SYSTEM Shown Clearly by Representatives of More Than Twenty Different States SCHOOL AS A SOCIAL CENTER—INFLUENCE OF COLLAGE AND UNIVERSITY IN RACE POWER—SOUTHERN WHITE CO-OPERATION IN NEGRO EDUCATION. Special Correspondence to THE NEW YORK AGE LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 13.—The Fifth Annual Session of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, which was held in Louisville, Ky., has just come to a close. In point of attendance, representation, interest, etc., this meeting has been the best in the history of the organization. There were present representatives from twenty different States, and many of the representatives were some of the foremost educators of the State. From beginning to end there was the highest interest and activity on the part of the delegates, citizens and teachers of Louisville. The meeting opened on Wednesday afternoon, June 24th, with a chorus of 400 children to welcome the delegates. The white high school building auditorium, which had been granted by the Board of Education in which to hold this meeting, was crowded from door to rostrum at the very opening session and at every session thereafter until the close on Friday night, the 26th, when there could not be found standing room in the hall. Wednesday afternoon was given largely to the welcome by these 400 school children, and the address of the President.

Independent and Texas Represented-- Yant Improvements in Rural Thursday morning found nearly all of the delegates present. During the night special delegations had come in from Mississippi, Texas, Virginia, Louisiana, Indiana and Ohio. The program for Thursday morning consisted of the presentation and discussion of facts bearing upon rural schools. J. M. Williamson, assistant superintendent of Bolivar Co., Shelby, Miss., told of his work at superintendence throughout that he was interested and how largely the teachers in rural districts were helped by direct superintendence, and how many schools were being enlarged, terms extended and houses built through the people themselves. Mr. Williamson is inaugurating a farm project in connection with the schools throughout his county, whereby the schools will be run eight months instead of a shorter time as in the past. On the subject of building rural school houses T. C. Walker, special school agent of Gloucester County, Va., told of ten thousand dollars being raised by the colored people during the past year for building school houses, and extending school terms. Mr. Walker is a lawyer and school representative of the matter school representatives of the State of Virginia. No force is more-powerful in bettering the condition of the rural schools than is Mr. Walker throughout the State of Virginia, especially in his own county. Mr. A. E. Perkins, of Biloxi, Miss., addressed the association on the grading of village and rural schools. Various members of the association joined in the discussion telling of what was being done in rural school work in almost all of the States that were represented. In fact, the meeting was turned into a kind of symposium of what the States were doing for rural school work. It was found that there has been an advance of perhaps 25 or 50 per cent. in rural school work; that the terms are growing longer; teachers being better paid; school houses being built; and in every way the county school is being made better and largely through the efforts of the colored people themselves. (Continued on page 4.) SMALL CRUMB FROM DENVER Cincinnati, July 14.—The official seal and brother but gave a very small crumb of comfort from the Denver convention table. Mr. Bryan was sponially willin' on," oh," but the rank and file would have none of it and asked to the stout outlimb on the tallest tree with the nigher question." And there it stayed so far as the convention could. What Monroe Trotter, Ibr. Cress and the rest of the "no-Taft-in-nine-at-any-price" contingent did when the somewhat startling information was converged to them, no one has been able to find out up to the time of this writing. Whatever it does and whatever the final word uttered in a controversy fraught with distracting interest if not with deep significance the refusal of the national press to publish it in Plainfield in its platform certainly clears the Nero political atmosphere. The Democratic party missed the rare opportunity it ever had to get a considerable, if not a major portion of the Nero vote in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. The psychological moment was here. For "good" if not sufficient reason the average Nero voter was very more. I cannot remember a time when the temper of dissention so widespread, so widespread, so widespread, was simply a wild-edged dissatisfaction with things Republican in general and Housevolt and Taft in particular. The situation possessed all the carmarks of an incipient revolution. Here in Chicago the very atmosphere was charred with the devilish disposition to take life and apply the touch. Threats of political annihilation were crushed and the men were pounded before made men sit up and wonder "what's got into the niger?" A comparatively small group of colored men had the temerity to favor the candidacy of William H. Taft. They now know the smell of powder. It was a nasty exhibition of ill-temper. It was a attitude of attitude, attitude and contact that is ample remuneration for the discomfort of mind and body we suffered for a brief and terrible while. I have no inclination to seek the why of all this distraction. I merely attempt to chronicle the facts as I saw and felt their, onward and, disquieting course. There are men among us who sought to take the movement. With this assumption I could not arrest. It was too general, too insistent, too unreasoning. The waters seemed to move beneath the surface. I cannot say that the speech was irrational and that many of the overt acts pervived the performance of thinking children. The movement, inreversible force to the spirit of the outburst that was convincing and potent. Under other conditions than those pervailing at this time I would not give voice to these impressions. The fear of being misunderstood would be a major factor by the refusal of the present Bryantic convention to condemn President Roosevelt, nominee Taft and the Republican party for the Brownville incident. Colored men have a deal more than the average American gives them the credit of having. No real or favored voting for the nominee of the Denver convention. The South with its policies of prescription and prejudice oppose any and all expression that might appear to run counter to the spirit of its cherished traditions. In this particular instance it is important to note that the good policies. It did not matter to the Southern group of our sisterhood of States that a "Negro plank" might give a little more color to what promises to be a most interesting and picturequeen campaign they did not want it at any point. The many deepest nights this same color question has contributed to the white man in the South I don't know but what I agree with him that a "Negro plank" in any kind of a Democratic platform would be a beautiful course of taking hold of things at the wrong time and the wrong place. But what now of the man who would a fishing go? Can the colored men who unpleasantly opposed the nomination of Mr. Taft return with good grace to the ranks of the Republican party? Why? The reason is that he must take a forward step; the Republican party as an organization has never taken a backward step. It is not a choice of the least evil, it is the selection of a course that will contribute to the general good and the better government, entire country. Men can well afford to take a hard, hard time to the voice of sentiment. For one I put no question mark behind the sincerity of any Negro who protested against the selection of William H. Taft as the Republican candidate for President, conceive him a belief that he promised to be a politically active and impelled by a high conception of his duty to his kith and kind. But nevertheless there is a plain duty, we owe to the American people to be keenly alive to the questions which make for the safer and safer conduct of our common government. It should not contend for the Republican ornamentation which the Republican ornamentation who have small practical or sentimental moment for the Negro. What is of greatest moment to us is the perpetuity of Republican institutions and a continued opportunity to gain the widespread knowledge of the best conduct of the best forms of government which will be achieved from this central thought are misleading and should not be followed. "I am not bothered about the past. Our fathers paid that debt with their sweat and with their blood. I live in the present and I dare to have hope in the future. Our attitude toward things American, our temper with a daze appropriate for the maintenance of our societies that bring the brightest outlook to the future. The rambling, creative and inconsequential declarations of the Bryanatic platform adopted at Denver should not lead the Negro vote from a thoughtful consideration of the straightforward declaration of principle adopted at the recent Chicago convention. For this reason I feel that the colored man is sensible reason why the colored man who succeeded the nomination of William H. Taft cannot consistently return to the ranks of the Republican party. There is no contesting in this proposition. A plain duty confronts all the elements of population which constitute the American people, and we cannot afford to lay behind. The Republican party is the ship all else in the sea." Not alone for the Negro but all elements of the people who work and play for the common good of our common land. W. H. A. McCorm.

July 11.—Bishop Elder Coupe, one of the best, most original and most progressive newspaper men the Negro race has ever produced, died in this city last Thursday morning after a brief illness. The cause of death was congestion of the brain. Mr. Coupe had been the victim of a nervous attack some years ago. He was in no condition to whiten the strain of the intensity hot weather and the labor of looking after the interests of the stunted company with which he had been connected since the opening of the museum. His death, therefore, while coming as a successor to the progenitor of the wholly unimportant to his intimate friends who knew of his fall-in-health. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from his late residence, 1898th street, Northwest, and was largely attended by friends and acquaintances, including many of the O'Neill family. The country, representing the religion, official, professional and business leadership of the nation. The rich mansgay comfort was entirely covered by a production of Floral offerings, but the corpse were conducted at the revered St. Mary's Church, with a high priority. The impressive ritual of the Episcopal church was read by Rev. Oscar L. Mitchell, rector of St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church, who in a teaching address, referred to the useful life and valuable public services of the deceased. The funeral was attended by a central-face of a once happy and united family circle.

Indian Tale's Tales: At a gathering of the public-area and personal friends of Mr. Cooper, immediately following the return from the this beautiful photo presented by Auditor Teller and subscribed to as the quaintian voice of the gentlemen present, Mr. Teller's estimate of the desired—a poem in prose—working formal expressions of appraisal, was as follows: "Last Thursday, just as the sun was up on the awfulness of high noon, the spirit of Edward Elder Cooper, quite mortal body and entered the uneasy, undiscovered and unknowable Evenity, the unadversary and unknowable Evenity, the unadversary and unknowable Evenity, having it only to blind faith and revelation to so much as hazard a guess as to what lies beyond. "In the death—no, we will not say death, for who knows—but more appropriate—in the passing of Edward E Cooper the Negro Fourth Estate witnesses the going out of a light that shows that helped man to man it possible for Negro journalism's high state to day. Cooper was really more of a friend to others than to himself. He harbored no malice. The same gracious smile and compassionable spirit he had for friends and for alike. Life was too short for him to cherish hatred. The future was too problematic for him to premeditatelyJOIN him solely make his own. He have never! What mortal man is perfect? "He seemed to think it was his mission to spread printers' ink over men to make big Negroes' greater, mediate Negroes of some consequence, and little Negroes worth noticing by a liberal use of printers' ink. After all, these are more Negroes in Canada' debt than in there are Negroes to whom he is in debted. "He marked the best he could with the books he had. He built as he could with the material he had. He labored as he could with the opportunity he had. He succeeded as he could with the environments he had been in and best he could with the furniture it is when a fellow writer turns in his last copy, and turns from his desk for the last time, to speak only the small things forgetting all others. There is no need to canonize his virtues or to embalm his faults; but, let us all who know him just bring a bit of pretense into it, even if it is known that some made grave beneath which lies all that remains of Edward E. Cooper; and in laying it, softly earnestly and sympathetically, says: "He was but mortal, the same as the millions and millions of us who tarry here yet for a brief spell." Life is a budding flower that blooms and fades and is robbed of its sweetness almost between up and down. Life is too short for anything but the distribution of good will to all."

The Globe-Democrat announces that the House of Debates has delivered the New High School a solar plaque blow in a follow-up. The House of Debates yesterday dealt a solar plaque blow to the proposed Negro High School at Cottage and Pendleton avenues, by pumming a bill patronizing a bond issue for the purchase of a site for a Double High School at Cottage, St. Predand and Cottage avenues and the bond issue in for $100,000. The bill was introduced in the House by Debate James T. Brunnan. The Board of Education, it is said, is willing to give up the Negro High School plane at that site if the city of Pendleton offers it. The bill will not be won by the Council.

"The Republican national convention, just over in Chicago, nominated Honorable William Howard Taft for President of the United States, and he is now before the country for the suffractions of the people. We hope he will be elected, as the democrats will offer us nothing for the elevation of our race. We believe a more popular man with the masses could have been selected, yet he is the nominee, and the colored voters, as well as the whites, have no other standard bearer who represents republican sentiment, and there is nothing to do but to rally around Mr. Taft. He may have spoken some unfortunate words, and made some unfortunate remarks, as it relates to the black man; but he is before the country now, and a number of his admirers think that he will be as true to right and justice as the needle is to the pole, and we ask for nothing but fair treatment."—Editorial in Bishop Turner's paper "The Voice of the People."

While we note the Democratic platform ‘hones especial interest in the welfare oi some of the dark races under the Protection of the United States Govern- ment, we are yet'Jooking for an out- and-out pro-Negro declaration, As the claim was mate before the convention that a plank would be in- serted in the platform favorable to the Negro we are wondering what influence Bishop Walters and the Negro delega- tion sent to Denver had with the Demo- cratic leaders. Rumor has it that the delegation was not even given seats in the gallery, but we can't vouch for the authenticity of this statement. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that re- gardless of the attempt of the Negro to “batt into” the Democratic camp he was informed that he was not wanted Mr. Bryan is said to have favored a plank in the platform that would have accuted all Negroes of his high consid- eration of them. The plank was not inserted, Why? Tecause Bryan did not want it” William Jennings Bryan controlled the Democratic Convention, He nomi- nated himself for the Presidency, named bis running mate and built the plat- form. Had he wanted to he could have declared the Democratic party in favor of giving, the ‘Negro a square deal. Rut he did not. Why?

The race was: then poor and had few places in which to meet This is not true now, Halls and’ other proper places can be easily rented. It does not help the minister,:nor the con- erenation, nor the spirit of worship to have it understood that the church is open to anyone who wishes to use it, no matter what the object is, Jn some of the cities. it has reached the point where the church houses are used more for political purposes than for religious purposes, The miost senseless and ser sational speakers are often in such meetings and invariably make dunces of themselves. Not onty this, but ne per= son after seeing the church house used continually for these: unholy purposes has the same respect for it and the same reverence that he had before. The church house should be held wicred! and not be used for any purpose outside of worship, unless it is absa- lutely necessary. The church that is used for anything outcide of worship, ar discussion of some moral question, and the minister wha lays aside his im- mediate work to dabble in partisan poti- tice, lose their influence over the people.

Out of all the answers received by THE Age the majority of writers believe that the young Negro should be educated along industrial and commercial lines, especially as they think he should be given an industrial education. With but few exceptions the advice given is that the Negro youth should be first prepared for agricultural pursuits. With reference to the professions, to which no writer was opposed to the Negro youth following, the ministry, the school and medicine found most favor, it being contended that at this time the practice of law does not afford the Negro an excellent chance to succeed. Some of the letters received: By Dr. Booker T. Washington. "When a young man is looking for a job, nine times out of ten, the first job he can find is the best one. I do not mean to say the same is true of young women, but the experience of men proves that it is easier to find a good place when you are working than when you are looking for work. "Once at work it is possible to begin picking and choosing. As a rule I should say that the most important condition of good employment is that it should be healthful. If we can keep our bodies properly nourished and in good condition it is pretty certain that our minds and hearts will be all right, too. Pessimism, which is one of the worst of diseases, is usually a product of sedentary life—too much confinement and too little exercise. On the whole, it is best to take up with some trade or profession that will keep us as much as possible in the open air. Farming is the best. And there is this to be said for farming: a poor farmer can live happily, raise a houseful of children and somehow struggle on and be happy; but an unskillful doctor is worse than nothing. A poor merchant is pretty likely to bring ruin upon himself and his family. "But the world has need and our race has need of skilled people in the professions; we need good doctors, enterprising business men; we need writers. We need above all more first-class newspaper men; newspaper men who will make a profession of writing. "There is an increasing demand for thoroughly competent accountants, not merely bookkeepers, but men who have made themselves familiar with the forms of business and have got at the principles upon which they are founded. We cannot, as a race, enter into the higher fields of business; we cannot administer properly large corporations, such as we are now more and more trying to form, until we have learned to control our affairs through an accurate, thorough-going and scientific manner. "There is great demand for first-class industrial teachers; men and women who not only know some one of the trades, have had some practical experience with it, but who know how to teach it and adapt the teaching to the growing number of our schools in which the industries bear a part of the training. There is a very good opportunity at the present time for young women of our race to take up the profession of trained nurse. There is a great demand for nurses who are thoroughly trained and disciplined and I am glad to see that so large a number of our intelligent women are going into that profession." By Bishop Abraham Grant, of the A. M. E. Church. "Your question: What occupation, trade or profession would you advise our young men to prepare themselves for under present conditions existing in this country? "1. Tillers of the soil in all parts of the world are regarded as the permanent, substantial and independent occupants, provided they are freeholders and the soil productive. I would advice, therefore, that they prepare for agriculture pursuits. "2. I think that first-class carpenters, brick and stone masons, by locating in the right section of the country, could be busy the year around. There are eleven States and two territories in the district to which I am officially assigned by the A. M. E. Church, namely: Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Arizona and New Mexico. In either of these States persons having either of these trades can find an abundance of work." "3. Those desiring to enter a profession, experience has taught me that medical doctors and school teachers are the most successful class of professional people. Hence, it is necessary for them to make preparation to secure the very best results in these professions. "Those in the practice of law seem to have gained just a little in prosperity in the last few years. But, in a country where prejudice is so strong and the judges of an opposite race, and, as a rule, the juries of the same composition, the attorney-at-law finds many obstacles and, therefore, is much hindered in his progress. However, there are no professionals of the higher order more needed than these and we do not mean to say anything to discourage said profession. "Of course in the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ there are opportunities and possibilities unlimited for devout, self-sacrificing, well-educated young men who are impressed with their calling." By H. T. Kealing - Editor A. M. E. Review. "Your question, 'What' occupation, trade or profession would you advise our young men to prepare themselves for under the present conditions existing in this country?" deserves a more careful treatment than I can, with the demands upon my time, give just, now; but, in my opinion, special stress should be put upon the industrial, agricultural and commercial activities. "First, because these are fundamental and should precede in time the professions that must be supported by them. Secondly, because in those we are weakest, and this calls for emphasizing their importance in order to correct our present uneven development. "Thirdly, because those who prefer and are adapted to the learned professions will enter them without special appeal. "Fourth, because it is only by coming into competent and competitive contact with the constructive factors of American life that we shall win the respect and friendship of both capital and labor." By William H. Lowlg, Assistant United States District Attorney, Boston, New "While I have not been able to give the subject, matter contained therein very much thought, I am prepared to say that I would advise our young men to prepare themselves for the trades and for some kind of business 'under the present existing conditions in this country.' "We have cultivated the extremes much too long. By necessity we have done the mental labor for a long time, then we set to go as far in the other direction as possible and made too much of a hobby of the learned professions. We need now to cultivate the happy medium so to say. "Those who go in for the higher intellectual training, it seems to me, would do well to study engineering, both mining and mechanical; and other kindred callings. These are practically new fields for us and offer splendid opportunity." MANHATTAN ODD FELLOWS' GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT The Odd Fellows' Lodges of Greater New York have upon their roll some of the best and influential citizens of our commonwealth. They are trying by their united efforts to demonstrate that this is one of the best institutions of our country, governed and controlled by Negroes. The S.C. of M., the governing branch, is composed of professional and business men, representing all sections of our land. Through the admonition of these officers and our leading members, the old principle of "we care for our sick and bury our dead," is rapidly being augmented by the Lodges in different sections by establishing and operating an insurance company, grocery stores, drug stores and farms, thereby becoming great factors in their communities. This tendency exists in the South and West, where Lodges own their halls. Their members have explicit confidence in their leaders, and when such a project is advanced and approved, rally to the support of those at the head, and success is assured. Odd Fellows in Northern cities and towns have lots to learn from their brethren of the South and West. If they would only take time and read of their doings, their accomplishments would furnish for us great examples. The Order in Manhattan is increasing wonderfully, the members are brim full of enthusiasm, there is a stronger union with the Lodges and members of Greater New York than ever in the history of our Order. The time is fast approaching when our leaders can present and advance some great financial project that will place New York in the same category with other cities, as far as our Order is concerned. We must do more than "care for our sick and bury our dead." Institution of Plains Reason Lodge No. 763. The Lodge named after one of the pioneers of our Order and charter member of Hamilton Lodge, who presented the proposition that instituted the great adjunct to our Order, the Household of Ruth, Patrick H. Reason, Lodge No. 7763, was instituted by Hamilton Lodge 710 on July 5th. The members of this new Lodge presented a fine and intelligent appearance, adding another link to our chain. While we regret this Lodge is not up to the standard of the other Lodges in membership in its incipiency, still it was demonstrated that great care was taken in the selection of the ninety or more members that were initiated into the mysteries of Odd Fellowship. The founder and organizer, Brother Arthur G Derrick, deserves great praise for his indefatigable work. Odd Fellows Attend Dedication of UNWillingly the Ancestors Philadelphia Headquarters. Several of our leading Odd Fellows left on Wednesday, the 15th inst., for Philadelphia to attend the dedication of the new headquarters building, located at 12th and Spruce streets, costing, over $130,000. Grand Master W. L. Houston and members of the S. C. of M., performed the ritualistic dedication at 9 A. M. A street parade took place at 10.30 A. M., after which commemorative service was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Sixth and Lonhard streets, the dedicatory address was delivered by Hon. Edward H. Morris, Ex. G. M. Chicago, Ill. The other speakers were: W. M. T. Forrester, Ex. G. M. Richmond, Va.; R. M. Smith, Ex. G. Treasurer, Hampton, Va.; James F. Needham, Grand Secretary and Ex. G. M. Phila, Pa.; J. McHenry Jones, Ex. G. M. Institute, W. Va.; W. W. Lawrence, G. Director, New Berne, N. C., and Grand Master W. J. Houston, Washington, D. C. was Master of Ceremony. This great building is a monument to our Order. It should be an incentive for us to get together and do something in New York. Odd Fellowa Who Halt Progress. We were sorry to learn of the quarrelsome disposition of some of the members of Manhattan Lodge 477, at their last inciting, July 5th. It is just that kind of spirit that has caused so many failures in past years when a united effort was most desired. When we are in a position to know the truth, we should not tell what we have heard, for we very seldom hear the truth. We are made to appear before our brethren as calamity howlers. Brethren, if you have not the influence and ability to lead, do not obstruct others who are trying to do something by the unification of the Lodges of Greater New York. Enforcement of Odd Fellows' Laws. Some laws are expedient, to be enforced in all Lodges of our Order; other laws, while expedient and enforced in Lodges in other sections of our country, can not with propriety be enforced in New York City. If laws are violated, the proper way to do is to admonish the officers and members who are offenders. If they continue, our duty is to prefer a charge against the Lodge so violating and prosecute same: Acting any other way would mean creating bad friends and becoming disliked, and have one's aspiration for higher honors impaired.

W. E. PAYNE Proprietor and Manager Agent for PR-FAN for Consultation Music and the Stage --- THE DANCING SCHOOL Would you believe, although the Merry Widow waltz is the most popular as well as the most talked of dance throughout the civilized world, that there is one place of amusement in New York where the dancing of the well-known waltz is not allowed? When such a surprising bit of information was made known to me a desite to visit the place where the "Merry Widow Waltz" was held persona non grata by the management took possession of me, so one evening last week I hied myself to Palace Hall. Seventh avenue and Fifty-first street, where dancing classes are held every evening in the week. Before going to the dancing academy I was informed that the Anderson family had charge of the hall, and that I would either find Miss Hallie L. Anderson or a brother, Charles H. Anderson. By arrangement Miss Anderson holds forth as instructress of dancing on certain evenings during the week and Charles H. Anderson instructs you in the art of "how, you can keep from being a wall flower" on the other evenings. It so happened that the male dancing teacher of the Anderson family was reigning supreme on the evening I visited Palace Hall, and without much ceremony, outside of an introduction, I began to talk of the popularity of the most talked of waltz in the United States, London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. It was not long before I was rewarded with the following information: "We did dance the Merry Widow Waltz here, but don't now. I am glad of it. While the waltz is a great hit on the stage, on the ballroom floor or at private dances it is a failure, and the reason it is a failure is because it is too ammodest in several instances. "Now it is very pleasing to see two lowers on the stage dance to the strains of the sensuous music written for the waltz, but what husband wants to see his wife, or what young man wants to see his sweetheart dancing around the room with another man, the latter holding the female dancer with his hands and arms all around her head and face as the actors dance it! I would not want such familiarity shown a sweetheart or a wife of mine, and I take it that other men are of the same opinion. "For the above reasons we determined to put the ban on the 'Merry Widow Waltz' at this institution, which we have done, and we have not lost any of our patrons by so doing. It is our desire to give the public the best dances used, but we hold it is up to us to determine whether a dance is proper or improper." Judging from the large attendance at Palace Hall the evening I made a pilgrimage to that institution "the putting of the lid" on the "Merry Widow Waltz" did not arouse the wrath of the patrons even if the waltz is so popular that the show has run almost a year in New York City because of the popular waltz. There were several hundred dancers on the floor, and although the evening was hot the mercury in the thermometer showed that the hall was nice and cool, thanks to the presence of electric fans that were working overtime. It was, indeed, an interesting galaxy of young men and women who passed the evening in dancing the two-step, the waltz, the york, the lanciers and the schottische. All appeared ignorant that such a thing as the "Merry Widow Waltz" had been ever arranged. Just what they would have done had the musicians started to play the "Merry Widow Waltz" music is a subject we won't give much thought. One thing noticeable at Palace Hall was the shirtwaist man whose presence was due to a notice which read: "Gents may dance in shirtwaists during the summer." The majority of, the male dancers took advantage of the courtesy of the management. However, a few were too sedate to appear minus coat. No, there was not a sheath gown in the hall! Miss Anderson and her brother are as much opposed to women wearing sheath gowns in public as they are to young men and women dancing the "Merry Widow Waltz." Dancing schools in Manhattan seem to be a paying proposition, judging from the number of dancing schools conducted and the number of dancing instructors doing business. There are at least twelve recognized dancing teachers in New York to-day and all are doing well. This is considered the dull season, as it is in the winter when the dancing schools are crowded. At Palace Hall the weekly attendance is about 6,000 when the weather is cool. During the warm weather many dancers forsake the dancing school for Coney Island, North Beach, and other summer resorts. Believing that there is good in everything, a retrospect of the past and then a return to the present will show that dancing schools have also helped to make the race more highly thought of. Some years ago it was always necessary to associate a fight of some kind with a public dance. The two went together. It seemed to be an unwritten law that there would have to be a "romantic house" before the public dance was over. Newspapers were wont to give no little space to such frequent affrays, but you seldom, if ever, read of such happenings in the daily papers powadays. In recent years the dancing school had done much toward making public dances an event to be enjoyed by all in attendance from beginning to end, and devoid of quarrels and fights as were so much in evidence years ago. So high is the aim of the dancing masters to conduct schools that will reflect credit that they maintain such a high standard of deportment that those inclined to create trouble upon entering the hall change their minds after noting the gentlemanly-like and lady-like demeanor of the other dancers. As the result they either remain away or when they come again they get into the spirit of the throng and conduct themselves properly. There was also a time when it was difficult for a colored dancing master to rent a suitable place for a dancing school, for when you told a white landlord that his place was wanted for a colored dancing school he would yell watch and imagine murder would be committed on his property nightly. But these same landlords have been induced to give the colored dancing master a trial; they have also been taken to these dancing schools and asked to note the orderly conduct of the dancers. Of course their surprise has been great, but on every occasion they have left with a different idea of a colored dance. Even the management of Palace Hall had some difficulty leasing the premises occupied by them. Now the landlord is willing to lease them the entire block for dancing school purposes. And there are many other instances that can be cited to show that the dancing school of to-day is also helping to make history (and praiseworthy history at that) for the race. EMMETT EMMETT J. SCOTT EMNETT J. SCOTT TO BE CALLED "THE RED MOON." New Piece of Cole and Johnson's Named-Rehearsals Start July 27. Cole and Johnson have issued a call notifying the members of their company to report for rehearsal July 21. It is not likely that the show will open be- long the early of September, as long rehearsal is in prospect. Various papers have reported that the name of the new Cole and Johnson pro- duction was to be "Red and Black," but the piece will be called "The Red Moon." and will be more of a comedy opera than a comedy play. It will be three acts to "The Red Moon." the book of which is almost completed. His Mother in Proving She is Best Cook in Kentucky. Mr. Reuben Crowdus, better known as Ernest Hogan, is not the only member of his family who is making name and fame for the House of Crowdus. He has a rival in the person of his mother—Mrs. Louise Crowdus, who is with the "Unbleached American" on a farm in New Jersey. Mrs. Crowdus claims to be the best cook in Kentucky. She says she does not know about being a chef, but that she is a cook of the first water and can prove it. Many of the comedian's friends who have visited him claim that Mrs. Crowdus has shown them that she knows whereof she speaks. The last one to be converted into the belief that Mrs. Crowdus is the best cook in Kentucky was Dr. Algermon B. Jackson, of Philadelphia. He. Jackson went to the New Jersey farm last Sunday in Ernest Hogan, arriving about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It is the delight of the "Unbeached American," to boast of his mother's cooking ability, and he at once began to tell Dr. Jackson of Mr. Crowdin's skill with the frying pan. Whether Dr. Jackson believed his friend is not known, but any way he claimed he doubted Ernest Hogan's claims and said he was from Missouri. "Mother," said the "Unbeached American," "show Dr. Jackson how you can cook. Kill a couple, of those small chickens, make some sour milk biscuits and let him know how we live down in Kentucky." "All right, son," was the ready response. An hour later Dr. Jackson was called to dinner. On the table was fried chicken, hot biscuits, butter, cheeseburger, and a pile of apples. It was Dr. Jackson herer learned, for when he finished eating the chicken with hot biscuits dipped in gravy, then hot biscuits with butter and cherry preserves, he did not want to hear about any pie. Butternut milk was also on the bill. So much did Dr. Jackson eat that he So much did Dr. Jackson eat that he was unable to leave for Philadelphia Sun- ERNEST HOGÁN'S RIVAL. day evening and was compiled to remain until Monday morning, as he found it necessary to treat himself for several complications arising out of his strenuous work. Before leaving Dr. Jackson rowed Mr. Crowdus was a greater member of the Crowdus family than her son, and intended to tell the world so. P. B.—It does not necessarily follow that the "chickfooted" to tell all about it. Probably he is writing this article from hearay—I may probably. BURLEIGH SINGS BEFORE KING. Given Recitals for Royalty—Compensated by Amphibianer T. Weld. LONDON, July 15—Harry T. Burleigh, the New York baritone, has sung himself into the hearts of European royalty. Since his arrival here—a little over a month ago—he has appeared before many of the crowned members of Europe. To him the crown or a Duchies is an everyday happening with him. Even the King and Queen of England have heard him sing his folk lore songs. They agree with the rest of the nobility that the New Yorker is a singer of no little merit. So successful has he been in private recitals that arrangements have been completed whereby he is to return to England next summer and will appear in a big public recital. As royalty has put its stamp of approval on his singing, there is little doubt that the public recital will be a flattering success. The most important event in the harborman's stay abroad was July.3, when he appeared before the King and Queen of England at the home of the Earl of Londale. On the same evening he sang at Stafford House for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Stafford House for St. James Park, was beile for the Duke of York, the second son of George III, and was sold to the Duke of Sutherland. It is considered the finest private mansion in London. So proud was Ambassador Whitlaw Reid of Harry Burleigh's success in England that he was invited to Dorchester Stone for the American Ambassador and Mrs. Reid, at which many distinguished persons were present. After the recital Ambassador Reid highly complimented his fellow-countryman on his singing. About the second event of importance to the appearance before the Few Cook play at the Royal Opera, the instance of Mrs. Lille, a sister of Lady Randolph Churchill, Harry Burleigh sang for the Princess of Sweden, who is visit- J. SCORR ing her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, the former a brother of the King. Lord and Lady Algernon Gordon-Lennox had the singer at Broughton Castle, out of Banbury, and after the recital Lord Algernon presented him with picnic baskets and a basket of hundred years before America was discovered. In it Cromwell, Hampden and Prm planned the trial of Charles I. Royalty has also seen fit to treat Mr. Burleigh and his wife with some social recognition. While singing at Dorchester House Mrs. Burleigh attended a tea given by the members of the Persian Embassy. The couple also took tea at the home of Lady Maude Warrender, who is a big social favorite, at which Signor Tosti and many prominent musicians were present. They expect to return to America by August. 1. TO HAVE COLORED BANDMASTERS. Through Efforts of Emmett J. Scott Colored Man to Replace White FORT MADISON, N. Y., July 15.—The rumor in circulation last week that a colored chief musician would likely be placed at the head of the 24th Infantry Band, at a near date, in the general impression here, and the colored musicians have already begun to conjecture as to which of their number will be the lucky man, there being many efficient musicians in the band, while the colored band will make is not known, but it can be said with authority that the 24th Infantry will have a colored bandmaster before long. The appointment by the War Department of a colored man as leader of the 24th Infantry Band will mean the passing away of white leaders over colored bands. The change of policy can be charged the credit of one man—Mr. Robert J. Scott, Secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington. Several months ago Mr. Scott filed a statement with the War Department showing that the bands assisted with the colored troops were all led by white men, although the individual players were colored; that among the colored musicians were many colored men well fitted to serve as bandmasters, and asked that colored men, therefore, be placed at the head of colored bands. Mr. Scott contended that such a move on the part of the War Department would remove all possible friction that might be occasioned by reason of any enforced social contact. Secretary Taft at once took up the matter, and it was not long before James A. Thompson, charlestonist and an army membran of fifteen years experience, was appointed secretary of the 89th Carolry Band, at a monthly salary of $900. Last March Secretary Taft promoted Mr. Robert Williams chief musician of the 25th Infantry Band. The new bandmaster was formerly chief musician of the Twenty-Institute Band, and his appointment was a popular one. THE NEW YORK AGE: 1 HURSDAY, JULY 16, 1908 was compelled to remain sorrowing, as he found it sat himself for several long living out of his strenu Mr. Thomas C. Hammonds is acting chief musician of the 10th Cavalry Band in the absence of the bandmaster, who is on a long furlough. A DISTING A DISTING Autoren President, a CHICAGO'S NEW THEATRE.

Music has a decided influence upon the blood pressure in the arteries, and upon the respiration. We all know how the heart is affected by the blood in the lungs and worried. When its sweet hair: HARRY T. E [Image of a man with a bald head, wearing a suit and tie, looking directly at the camera. The background is dark and indistinct.] HARRY T. BURLEIGH monies fill the soul; all cares, worries and anxieties fly away. Many nervous diseases have been cured by music, while others have been greatly retarded in their development by it. Anything which keeps the mind off our troubles tends to restore harmony throughout the body. All the uplifting, encouraging, hope and bongering of spirits, expectancy of better things, all optimistic emotions—have a decidedly beneficial influence upon the health. A feeling of uplift, of happiness, and well-being, quickens the heart's action, increases the circulation of the blood, and tends to open up all the avenues of health. Worry, fear, anxiety, jealousy—all the descriptions of emotion tend to give a sense of restriction and repression. They inhibit the heart's action rather than accelerate it. Where these emotions predominate, writes Orison Swett Marden, in Success Magazine, there is a sense of constriction through the whole arterial system; even the nerve centers feel the suppression and constriction. Whatever makes us happy, whether in a mountainous joke, in the tonic which comes from success or any unusual achievement, tends to produce health and mental well-being.—Exchange. Cleo Desmond is one of the hits of the hill at Keith's. Boston. The Kemps - May and Bohby - are playing at Brighton Beach Music Hall. Tom Logan is reported to be much improved since last week. Carita Day is visiting her mother in Chicago. She will be away several weeks. Tom Lemmonier and his summer show did what almost every summer show has done that has let New York this summer - return to Manhattan after a week's run. It is rumored that Mme. Selika, who some years ago delighted hundreds with her voice, will go to the Old Folks' Home in West Philadelphia. Walter Robinson writes that his summer shows sent out from Boston are doing nicely. Among the colored nets working for the Flynn Amusement Company are the Four Pampins, Billy Nichols, the Prices, Gaines and Brown and the Clarmonts. This is the second week of the Memphis Students at Hammershtein, and although the bill is exceptionally strong this week the well known colored aggregation is getting its share of applause. Tom Fletcher and Abbie Mitchell are making the principal. There is a possibility of the act remaining on the roof several weeks more. Andrew Trible, has been playing with a hummer, show around Chicago for two or three weeks and has been the hit of the act. Under the management of Moore and McCabe the company has been one of the daily papers of Gary. In commenting on the show said: "A large audience composed of Gary's best people attended the reopening of the Gary Theatre last night. The company is composed of colored artists, each of whom is in a star. The singing and dancing improvement department deserves special mention. Also Charles Young, the harbiter singer. The show is the best ever given in Gary." Mr. and Mrs. Walter Brown, Mrs. M. C. Yosteman and Mrs. Bertha Williams were the guests of Mr. B. L. Brown, of Nyack last Sunday. Rev. Mrs. R. M.

Autenor Pirmin Candidate for President, a Guest of Guest Craigwell of Brooklyn. Hon. Autenor Firmin, one of the most distinguished men of Hayti, and a candidate for the presidency of that country, arrived in this country recently, accoom pled by his private secretary, Dr. R. T. Washington, and visited Washington and while in the diplomatic reception room awaiting his turn to see Secretary Root he met Dr. Rooker T. Washington, with whom he had been in correspondence for the past ten years. A most pleasant conversation was had. Dr. Washington tendered General Firmin a reception which was attended by the leading representatives of Washington society. His mission to Washington was most successful. Returning to New York the party were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Craigwell, of 376 Gates avenue. Mr. Craigwell is in the employ of the United States as an immigrant inspector of the plans of General Firmin can be obtained by perusing the New York Herald, Tribune and Times of June 21. The career BURLEIGH of Mr. Firmin is a most interesting one. He has been a professor of the University of Law, Superintendent of Education, Congressman, Secretary of Education, and Chairman of the Plenipotentiary to France, and has filled many other high and important offices. Dr. Bobo, his secretary, is a noted doctor of the Black Republic, and a musician and composer of marked ability. Brigadier-General P. F. Prenderique is a native of the Black Republic and he considered the greatest prosecutor of criminals in the republic. He is now the recognized leader and political organizer of the Progressive party or Firmin's party. Over $40,000 of his private fortune was sacrificed by him in order to further the interests of the party, and he was forced to remain in exile for nearly seven years, on account of his political beliefs. The party sailed for Havre on the pultatin new French steamer Chicago, this being her return maiden trip, having the distinction of occupying the only suite on board the ship with exclusive privileges. They were escorted to the pier by the crew (coachman) in a Princess daughters, and other ladies, and sentime laden with floral gifts. Refreshments were served on board. While in Paris, where he has lived for years as Minister from Hayti, all the courtesies will be extended him both from the diplomatic corps and cabinet officers of the Republic. His many friends wish to see him successful in his ambition to be president. Owing to limited time spent in the city Hon. Anterior Firmin was unable to attend many social functions planned in his honor by prominent citizens. Norwalk Haa a Good Ball Team. Mrs. Harking returned from Newark, N.

The Culture Club of Williamsbridge, composed of seven ladies, gave an outing on the Fourth of July. The outing was to have been held at Bronxwood Park Grove, but on account of rainy weather it was completed at the residence of Mrs. Pryor, Lewis and Brown on 22nd street. Out of 100 invitations a goodly number of guests attended and most enjoyable day in spite of the inclement weather. One of the most enjoyable events of the afternoon was a baseball game that was very amusing to the ladies, after which all guests were invited to luncheon and the guests honored the Society by disposing of all of the goodies that were set before them. After luncheon there was an unnatural display of fireworks that drew people to the society. This luncheon occasion a vote of thanks was unanimously extended the Society who has done much to promote the social welfare of the community. Officers of the society are Mrs. John Lewis, president; Mrs. Brown, vice-president; Mrs. Christopher Pryor, secretary and treasurer. --- Williambridge Notes.

OVERHEARD ON THE AVENUE The Young Men's Christian Association is undoubtedly a great and useful institution and there is plenty of work for it among the people, of all races in this city. A few years ago when a Colored Men's Branch was started it was hailed with gladness by the colored people and watched with interest by the whites. Its progress and growth has been closely observed. After attending many of its meetings and visiting its churches, we are impressed by the able times, we are impressed strongly with one thing in particular, namely, that the men who are most in need of the Christian influence have not but little part in it. For some reason the狼羊 are not gathered into the fold. The members and frequenters of the association orderly young men, apparently from good homes and Christian surroundings. We hardly think they are in as much need of help of a philanthropic and revered organization as the dives and houses of low repute that infest the city. For example, watch the crowd of illagers in the San Juan Hill district. West 18th street, 124th and 125th streets, and some of them left good homes and Christian surroundings in the South or West before they came here and fell into evil ways. It is here that Secretary Bell meets with the president to quash your lecture invitation among the men personally, invite and persuade them into a cleaner and more wholesome atmosphere. Great results could be had by working among that class of people missionaries among both, Mr. Secretary The doctors of divinity are not to be left out and are to be featured at both the doctors' convention and the nurses' meeting. There is nothing more pleasing than a clean, well kept barber shop with police and skiffle, social security in artistry and sixth floor. We rent 251 street. Sixth floor, kept by Mr. W. W. Hart, who succeeded the late R. H. Rundy, keeps just such a plane of business. He is the place as near complete as possible and the trade he gets as a result is a strong argument for a similar policy to be followed by others. We note a change has taken place in the affairs of the C. Franklin Carr Burial Company, Mr. glohan H. H. Becks and we learn that Carr in the meantime and we learn the latter is no longer connected with the firm, but is located at 129 West 155th street. Not, positively me! Ed Lee did not go to the convention at Denver. He was on a hunting trip up in Canada where he could not even feel the vibration from the mountains he experienced 'savage citizens' received from the hands of the democratic leaders. Please let it be understood that Walter A. Royd is a stunner Republican and his interest in Denver is not politics, the attraction is merely his oldest daughter who recently married and went there to live. And, by the by, the National Association of Cybered Women is billed to appear here in August. Better appoint a local attorney to handle the case, for a few more of those talkies in August and things will be getting congested, not to say noisy. That shouting noise you hear is nearly some leading 16 citizens returning from the West, sadder and wiser. They are muffled up to their ears trying to keep warm, it was certainly a cold deal they got.

Garnett Republican Club of Brooklyn held a meeting last Thursday evening at its club room, 2431 Church Avenue. The membership was out in full attendance. James H. Abrahua, president of the club, presided, and Edward C. Chemieux recorded. Questions as to the interest of the colored voters in the district in the coming presidential election and as to the best method of reaching the colored voters and improving them with the importance of being aggressive in efforts to elect the standard bearer of the Republican party for President and Vice president and in supporting the H. H. Garnett Republican Club of Kioga County, were freely and fully discussed. The executive committee then offered a strong set of resolutions endorsing the candidacy and platform of the Republican National Council, which were unanimously adopted after several ethnic and racial groups by prominent colored citizens and local political leaders. The Household Shower given last Wednesday, evening at the settlement house 106 Fleet Place, Brooklyn, was tended and proved a most enjoyable aff The shower was given for the benefit of the Day. Nursery which re-opened at the above named place last Thursday morning. About three years ago a circle of ladies seeing the imperative necessity for an institution whereby honest hard-working women might leave their children in safety, while they, in many instances, winning the bread for the family opened headquarters for the same at 129 Willoughby street. Owing to the fact that the shower at that number was sold, the nursery was temporarily suspended until a suitable location was found. The Settlement House is an ideal locality for a Day Nursery, as there are acres of children to care for, and many often left alone or to the care of indifferent persons. How the Children Are Cared For at the Home. The children are admitted to the home at seven o'clock in the morning and kept there until seven in the evening, during which time they are well fed and kept clean, and for twelve hours they are Sunday. The house is a veritable baby land, singing with all sorts of noises, which characterize the little tots whose age range from three months to seven years. As a variation from the monotony of home life, there are all kinds of toys and games to amuse them, which are enjoyed hurled by the House. Work is maintained. This work is in charge of a corps of efficient ladies, whose deep interest in the work is emphasized by their generous contributions, and their attendance at each and every benefit given for the Nursery. The matron, Miss Henrietta Brinkley, is especially adapted to this particular work, and is a most congenial little boy. Miss Brinkley is a graduate of Lincoln Hospital, Hampton, Virginia, and comes to the work excellently recommended, and with the heartiest co-operation of her co-workers. The contributions to the work last Wednesday evening were both generous and substantial. Educators of Many States with the encouragement and co-operation of the school officials. Addresses of Prof. Williams and Pickens. In the afternoon of Thursday a trolley ride was given the visiting teachers to the various parks of the city. In the evening two of the most interesting papers of the convention were read. The first by Prof. W. T. B. Williams, field agent of the J. F. Slater Fund, Hampton, Va., who spoke upon the Educational Progress in the South Mr. Williams showed that the South has made most rapid advance in both white and Negro education during the past ten years. In the State of North Carolina Mr. Williams related that during one of the recent years a school house had been built for every day in the year. Following Mr. Williams' address Prof. William Pickens, professor of languages, Taladega College, spoke on mental development as a part of education. Mr. Pickens was at his best, and sustained his former reputation as one of the best thinkers and speakers in the country. He held the attention of the audience for fully an hour and a half with his splendid reasoning, ready wit and unusual manner of presentation. Friday morning was given largely to the discussion of the school as a social center, and to the influence of college and university in race power. Rev. J. E. Smith, a representative of Atlanta University, spoke on the latter subject, and gave strong reason and plea for university work as a power in the race. The subject of kindergarten work was presented by Miss Essie Dorth, of the Kindergarten school of Louisville. Hers was a most interesting paper, showing conclusively the connecting link of kindergarten work in our educational system. In the afternoon Prof. J. B. Dudley, President A. and M. College, North Carolina; Prof. Inman E. Page, President A. and N. College, Oklahoma, spoke on the subject of the Unique Opportunity of the A. and M. Colleges. These splendid addresses were followed by discussions on the importance of agriculture in all of our schools, led by Prof. L. J. Rowan, President Alcorn A. and M. College, Alcorn, Miss. Friday evening was given up to the splendid address of Prof. F. L. Blackshear, President Prairie View S. N. School, Texas, on the southern white co-operation in Negro education. Prof. Blackshear made one of the ablest addresses of the convention, showing con-clusively the strength of the co-operation which is had from the Southern white people. Work Done in North and South. Throughout the entire meeting various discussions on each of the subjects were had, many important questions were asked, and much information was received about the work being done among our people in the South and North. On Friday the subject of the New Berea was presented by Prof. Frost, President of Berea and discussed by Prof. F. L. Williams superintendent of the Covington city schools, and an alumnus of Berea. Prof. Dr. Frost's address and Prof. Williams discussion it appears that even though we have had a very great loss at Berea, we shall in a very short time have something to compensate in a slight degree for the loss to our people in educational advantages. After the close of the program on Friday evening, a number of private re ceptions were held at the various homes and a reception to the entire delegation at the Y. M. C. A. building under the auspices of the Louisville Tenchies' Association, of which Prof. Lawson is President. Among the distinguished visitors and educators who were present at our meeting were: Dr. Lucy Moten, Washington, D. C.; Profa. A. J. DeHart, of Ohio; Stokes and Jackson, of Indiana; Page, of Oklahoma; Wright, of Georgia; Williams and Walker, of Virginia; Scott, of West Virginia; Rowan, Martin and Williamson, of Mississippi; Hunter, Cain, Mrs. Williams, of Louisiana; Blackshear, Rollin; Grosa, Hoffman, of Texas; Singleton and Henry, of Tennessee; Miller, of South Carolina; Young, of Florida, and Pickens and Lee, of Alabama; together with large number of others not so well known but equally important from the standpoint of service in the various States and of strength to the Association. Entertainment of Guess. All of the City of Louisville, as well as the entire State of Kentucky, so far as the teachers were concerned, were present. Never in the history of the organization has the entertainment by the local citizens and teachers been more cordial and elaborate. Every detail had been looked after by the Louisville teachers under the direction of their various committees. There was no hitch from beginning to end in any matter whatever. A unique feature of every meeting was that a large number of school children gave the opening music at every session; and at the closing session on Friday night music was furnished by a splendid chorus consisting of the entire teaching force of the City of Louisville. A more beautiful and charming presentation could not have been found both as to personnel and executive than that which these teachers furnished. The following officers were elected for the next year: President, R. R Wright, Georgia; First Vice-President, J. H. N. Waring, Baltimore, Md.; Second Vice-President, S. O. Johnson, Ky.; Third Vice-President, Fred Stokes, Indiana; Fourth Vice-President, S. Sangleton, Tennessee; Fifth Vice-President, J. W. Scott, West Virginia; Secretary, J. B. Dudley, Greensboro, North Carolina; Assistant Secretary, Ida C. Plummer, Washington, D.C.; Corresponding Secretary, J. R. E. Lee, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; Treasurer, J. M. Colson, Dinwildie, Virginia; Registrar, J. A. Martin, Jackson, Mississippi; W. T. B. Williams, Chairman Executive Committee, Hampton, Virginia. Asheville was chosen as the place of the next meeting, and it is expected that that will be even a greater meeting than the one which has just closed. On Saturday morning, after the close of the association, the entire delegation took a trip to Mammoth Cave. On returning many of the delegates went to the N. E. A. others returning to their various homes. Nekre Orater Talks Socialism. PHILADELPHIA, July 13.—A brilliant Negro orator from the West, says the correspondent of the New York Press, who is holding nightly meetings at Broad and Lombard streets, is preaching the doctrines of Socialism to the colored voters. He attracts Large crowds of Negroes and white persons, who pay much attention to his arguments. Many intelligent young Negroes who attend the meetings are taking notes. The speaker tells how well the Socialist party, in California and other Western States is treating the Negroes, inviting them into the party and giving them recognition in its councils. He predicts in a few years most of the Negro voters will be in the ranks of the Socialist party. The Demand for an Educated Ministry. Realizing the demand among the negro people for an educated ministry, the Taskegee Normal and Industrial Institute conducts in confection with its other departments a Bible Training School. The courses of study are so arranged that not only ministers and lecturers may be benefited, but those also who desire to do better missionary work or become intelligent Sunday school teachers. The 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 ambition to dedicate their lives to the elevation and Christianization of their people. Daily supplementary exercises designed to instill habits of sobriety, cleanliness, regularity and accuracy are provided. The teaching is wholly undemnominational the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any theological work being done elsewhere, but instead to assist all denominations. During the past year enrollment in the Taskegee Normal and Industrial Training School is satisfactory, but the opportunity is now provided for a considerably larger number. The teaching is free. The cost of tunity to work out much of the $8.50— in some cases all of it. 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 suc- ceed. For further information address BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Principal, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. WOMENS' CONVENTION.
