DON'T WANT NEGRO VOTE
Bryan Repudiates Statement Made Recently by Bishop Walters
Case He Declares He Has Never Discussed With Anyone
LAST HOPE FOR NEGRO DEMOCRATS
BOTH DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AND BRYAN HAVE CLEarly DEFINED THEIR POSITIONS ON THE NEGRO—NEGRO NOT TO BE CONSIDERED.
Lincoln, July 21.—Report not true. I have, refused to discuss, Brownville县, and I have not discussed appointment of Negroes.
William Jennings Bryan has gone on record as denying the assertion made by Bishop Alexander Walters that the Democratic nominee for President assured a delegation of Negroes that he regarded President Roosevelt's actions in the Brownville case unjust and that he would appoint Negroes to office if acted.
It is Bryan's intention to settle the Negro question once and for all, as he does not want to be committed on the issue one way or the other. He does not intend to make Brownville an issue as several would-be Democrats desire neither in any speech nor letter will he mention Brownville or the Negro.
The announcement that the Democratic nominee does not intend to make a bid for the Negro vote has been a bitter pill to some few Negroes who have sought to incite the Negro voter against the Republican nominee. When the Democrats did not insert a plank in the platform in favor of the Negro these men declared that while the Democratic party did not come out openly for Negro rights, Bryan was personally in favor of giving the Negro recognition and would make a public statement to that effect within a short time. Even Bishop Walter and his small coterie of assistants are now downcast over Bryan's stand, and particularly hurt does the Bishop feel over Bryan's denial that a delegation was informed that the Democratic nominee regarded the President's action in the Brownsville case unjust. Both white and black politicians are of the opinion that the last statement of Bryan in which he declared he was not going to make a bid for the Negro vote during the campaign will tend to make the few Negroes who intended to vote for Bryan change their minds unless they intend to go where they are not wanted.
CHARLES ST... CHURCH-SATISFIED
Return of Dr. Henderson Pleenan Purslomerons—Two Preachers Added to Tanks.
Boston, July 21—the return of Dr. T. W. Henderson to Charles Street; A. M. E. Church by the New Bedford Conference has been the occasion of generous satisfaction in compliments, both by the partisans and the fellow citizens of the public press. Not only his unusual funnel but his personal success at Boston's Litchfield into his starting world and stability as a citizen as well made him a part of the valuable and to the New Bedford community among the successing men of New. Henderson now will perhaps be of more far-reaching influence than his adding of two splendid and promising young presidents to the ranks in the professions of Lieut. W. S. Carpenter and Mr. John W. Jackson, Boston University School, 1905.
Both of these gentlemen enjoy the distinction of being born after only a year's service as lieutenant, because of their character as students. This dispensation of at least one year's service was granted them by the conference on the motion of Dr. Henderson.
Mr. Carpenter has studied for many years in Cambridge and Boston; was recently elected from the second to the first lieutenant of Company L. of the Massachusetts National Guard, and for the past year served at Charles Street Church, Ordained last Sunday morning by Bishop J. W. Gaines, with unusually impressive services, he will continue as assisting pastor at Bethel for at least another year. Mr. Jackson at the end of his junior year in the Divinity School was made licentiate, and has since been supply pastor at various churches in this district. He was ordained preacher last week at the Conference in New Bedford. "Among the changes resulting from the conference affecting Boston were the transfers, of Rev. J. U. Grumbs, from the Cambridge St. Paul Church to the Paul River, Mass., Church, and Rev. J. O. Norton, from Stamford, Comm., to the St. Paul pastorate. Bishop Gaines, in this, his first sitting over the New England Conference of the First Episcopal Church, made splendid impression through his father's efficient management. The guest of Dr. Henderson at his Northampton street residence while in Boston, the Bishop left on the midnight train last Sunday for New York.
PROOF USING TITLE
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., July 20.—Supreme Court Justice Morschauser to-day filed his decision in the suit brought by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks for an injunction restraining the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World and the grand lodge of the latter order from using the name or title of the plaintiff "or any name or title similar or identical thereunto." The defendant order composed of Negroes. The white Elks are holding their convention at Dallas, Tex., and the decision of the court has been awaited with much interest. Justice Morschauser decides in favor of the plaintiff and grants the injunction asked for.
Justice Morschauser says in his decision that the defendant order has no limitation as to color, but is formed mostly of Negroes, while to become a member of the other order one must be white and a male citizen of legal age.
"In furtherance of justice," says the court, "the plaintiff is entitled to the relief asked for in the complaint, with costs."
The court says that the defendant order adopted the emblem of the plaintiff and the titles and seal of the latter, as well as using imitation membership cards and color, the color of the emblem and the name similar to those of the plaintiff and a similar sign of recognition has been adopted. "The defendant," says the court, "seems to have practically appropriated the name, title, seal, card, emblem and color and nearly everything else used by the plaintiff in conducting its corporate affairs."
It is also pointed out by the court that it has been shown that the members of the defendant order have attempted to give the secret sign to members of the plaintiff order and thus sought to secure recognition.
BOSTONIANS TALK FINANCE
They discussed high finance, bad finance and finance in general with all the fluency and familiarity of experts, for indeed some were long experienced, and nearly every one had had some experience in the world of money and stocks.
Mr. Taylor, a graduate of and former financial agent for Traskewane, now with broker firms in New York, the Wall Street, and London, held the close attention of the meeting for nearly an hour, as he narrated his successful career and the superior possibilities of financial stock investment. He said that Wall Street knew no man by his color, but very intently his money and security. He said that a colored man could buy Standard Oil stock or any other stock that it instantly benefits the N.Y. stock to make from 25 cents per cent on their money with other stock investors, instead of the 4 and 6 cent per cent their money can for begin in savings banks, life insurance and real estate. Through the effect Mr. Taylor, a New York Man, Edgardson and Van Dyck, Sr., Amateur in the process began with Philip Mison, an investment broker for W & Porter Drug Corp. J. H. Herschel, Alstom of Boston Common, C. O. & B. Pass, paying toller for the Shinwang Bank; Mr. Daniel Miner, an investment officer for real estate and real estate firm; Mr. Charles M. Sullivan, attorney; Charles J. Shippee, banker for Brother Aylzing & C. & C. brokers; Mr. Sammy L. M. Coy, banker; Samuel Holmes,银行; Robert M. Jackson, Jacob Whippman, Frank Wilkie, George Drummond, Frank J. John R. Rossman, Dr. L. M. Holmes, and P. J. S. Smith, James Terry, William and Richard Bennard.
A STORM BREWING
Superintendent of Schools, School Board and New Orleans People in Fight Over Marie Bolden's Victory.
New Orleans, July 7, Cleveland has almost forgotten the grilling contest that was held here a few weeks ago in which Marie Bolden, colored, won the first prize, but from the books of things there is a big storm brewing in this city in which Superintendent Easton, the members of the School Board and the citizens are to play prominent parts.
Upon Supt. Easton's return from Cleveland he expected to be met at the station by the members of the Board of Education, believing that he was to receive congratulation for the excellent performance of his job. He was sadly disappointed. When he reached New Orleans not a person was at the denot.
He was given another surprise when he later learned that the School-Board contemplated-impeaching him for allowing the New Orleans children to compete with the Negro children. According to one member of the Board of Education, Supt. Easton should have immediately-left Cleveland when he learned that Negro children were to compete in the state. Since Marie Bolden won the contest several white teachers who have taught in the colored public schools here tendered their resignation. Their places will be filled by colored teachers.

Good Example Set For. Colored Men Everywhere Who Appreciate Rights of Full Citizenship—Primary Candidates
CHICAGO, July 21.—The colored people of Evanson, the big and classic suburb north of Chicago, have lost no time in organizing themselves for the coming campaign in the interest of Secretary Taft.
This organization, under the name of The Colored Voters' League, has started out with commendable vigor to fight the idea of Negro Democracy. The officers of the League are as follows:
President, W. E. Wright; vice-president, H. T. Woods; second vice-president, Isaac Franklin; third vice-president, W. E. Jenkins; treasurer, Henry Butler; general secretary, Harvey Walden, and corresponding secretary, Walter Wilson.
This movement on the part of these colored men is wholly spontaneous and so far has not held other officers or office-seekers, which to be such an offense to those of our men who are trying to be Democrats.
The animus that dominates this organization is an interesting example of the instinctive horror that the average colored man has for the mere name of Democracy. In this they are after all all races. As with other men and races, the sense of self-protection is the first law of life.
If the average colored man could in some way forget the painful past, it might be just as easy to be a Democrat as a Republican, but he is so constituted that he cannot forget the past. The term Democrat is a real nightmare and will spirits of nation and fact come frothing in his mind at the mere thought of Democracy. It may be unfortunate that it is so, but certainly it is not discreditable. Few and far between are the people who really feel it as joy "to love their enemies." This new league of colored voters, who about us believe we out being urged or paid, hurt finally acted by a deep sense of self-preservation, have set a pretty good example for colored men everywhere who appreciate the rights of full citizenship. Dr. Frank J. Grimke, the noted pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church of Washington, D.C., is in important part in the 20th anniversary of the founding of Grace Presbyterian Church of this city of which Rev. M. H. Jackson is the esteemed founder and pastor. The anniversary experience promises to be a memorable in numerous ways, a memorable in many ways, and a memorable in many ways. Dr. Grimke, while in the city, will be given the opportunity to meet with Art M. S. Larson, Vilh

T. THOS. FORTUNE'S BENIAL
Says He is In No Wise Connected With Anti-Trust League and Will Support Tit.
The announcement published in the New York World recently that Mr. T. Fortus, Fortune is related to or had any meeting with or was elected to any office in the Anti-Trust League, headed by Mr. Frank J. Farrell, of New York, is, Mr. Fortune says, utterly without fear or fact. Mr. Fortune says he had several talks with Mr. Farrell, who approached him on the subject, but is no wise committed himself.
Before the nominations were made at Chicago, Mr. Fortune announced that he would support Mr. Taft if he was nominated, and Mr. Fortune now says he sees no reason to change the position he took in that, regard prior to the election of Chicago.
It is very bad policy, frequent among Negroes of making men's party movements without knowledge or consent. It is an abuse which should be corrected.
BRYAN UPHOLDS BROWNSVILLE
Commander Editorial of December 14, 1906, Declares Negro Soldier to Blame.
LINCOLN, July 18—In a telegram sent yesterday to the Baltimore Sun William J. Bryan said:
"I have refused to discuss the Brownsville case."
In Mr. Bryan's Commander, under date of December 14, 1906, appeared this editorial, written by himself:
"Whatever constitutional lawyers may decide concerning the power of the President to discharge or to reinstate, no unbiased person will deny that the offense was grave enough to justify the President in doing whatever he has the power to do. It is inconceivable that fair-minded people should criticize the President for attempting to relieve the military service of the menace of a body of troops whose members will shield a group of criminals."
Bryan Qualifies His Declaration.
Reminded to-day that while the Brownville controversy was in its most heated stage he commended President John F. Kennedy for drumming out of the United States military, the colored battalion, some of whose members were accused of shooting up the town, William J. Bryan qualified his declaration of yesterday that he had not discussed the incident, and recalled that he had, on the date above indicated, personal ecology of the President for his conduct.
Mr. Bryan explained that he had meant to be understood, as merely saying that he had not discussed the matter with any Negro delegation, adding: "I now remember that before the real inquiry began there appeared on the Commissioner an article that declared that if the facts were as stated in the news-paper the President was absolutely pro-in the policy he had followed. I did not intend to mislead anybody, nor mention of your life, but in the course I do not regard the Brown case. I have moved the situation that I had intended it recently with respect to the Negro case. I have been asked by Negroes how I have treated the case.

Primarily the well-known architect, he is been admired in the architectural field and is dedicated to the District of Columbia, on the recommendation of the District of Columbia, on the recommendation of the Deparment of Buildings. This is the diplomat that has ever been bestowed a colored architect by the local government. The school is to be erected in Garfield, District of Columbia. Mr. Pitman, it will be remembered, erected the Negro Building at the Janet-town, Exposition, and so well pleased was the Government, with his work that gave him a national reputation. This will be a twelve-room school for colored children.
Rev. Herrick in Ashbyville, N. C., July 18, 1871—John W. H. Curtis, graduated from Parma District School last month, and who was ordained in St. Stephen's, Petersburg, Va., has been spending a month with his father, Rev. W. J. Herrick, of St. Matthews' Church in Petersburg, having been present in the services and preaching Sunday nights to large and appreciative congregations.

Claim that Judge Taft Should be Lauded and Given Strength With Colored Vote for Updating the Brownsville Order
KANSAS CITY, KAN. July 21—Bishop Abraham Grant, of the A. M. E. Church, has come out without qualification for the election of Judge Taft for President. Although he does not arraign Mr. Bryan nor the Democratic party he declares that the disposition of Democrats, where they control State governments, to districhise the colored population, he judges jettisonable. Judge Taft is lauded for having held up the Brownsville order, which he did despite the wishes of President Roosevelt.
Bishop Grant's views on the political situation were recently made known at the New York World, which sent the eminent churchman the wiley telegram:
"DISHOP ABRAMH GRANT,
"332 Washington avenue,
"Kansas City, Kan.
"We will be very grateful if you will telegraph, at our expense, your views on the coming campaign as it affects your people. What effect will the Brownstein危机 have upon the candidacy of Taft? Do you think it is equal to the Republican plank demanding equal justice and suffrage for the colored people. What is the probable sentiment of your people concerning Bryan and the principles he advocates? Wire at any length you desire. Thank you in advance.
"EDITOR OF THE WORLD.
Bishop Grants Reply.
"Editor or Taft World;
"New York City.
"In the estimation of the colored people, so far as I know Mr. Bryan is regarded as being fair-minded. Many of the principles that he represents and his fate declarations are acceptable, but the disposition of Democrats, where they control State governments, to disfranchise the colored voters makes his party objectionable. Considering the declaration on the platform is past, the platform in the general. One scarcely knows how to construe it. Had they been more definite, the results in the election would be so pronounced in their favor. When it is thoroughly understood that Mr. Taft up the Brownstein order and at the same time asked the President to postpone action, it will give him strength with the colored voters.
"(SIGNED) A. GRANT."
TO HAVE SEPARATE LIBRARY
Owing to Discrimination at Carnegie Library Negroes to Have Own Buildings.
Germann, July 22 — An effort is being made here to establish a library for Negroes. Such man as A. P. Portwood, Baldus Parks and E. L. Sullivan are looking for the movement which was started by Mrs. L. H. Hunt. Although there is a Carnegie Library in this city, Negroes are buried in town, advantage of it. They have to be informed that Negroes have more privileges in the library. Carnegie Library was established with the Carnegie library was opened in all institutions, but the management has made a "Jim Crow" rule which keepsCollege students. Several of the city officials have made known the reasons to provide for Negroes, so as soon as the City Library has been made. According to the position by members of the City Council, Negro citizens will have a public library before long.

NEGRO POLITICAL LEAGUE
Band of Political Scholars Who Have About Reached the End of the Hope.
Boston, July 21.—While it is hardly necessary to warn the race against the "Negro-Political League," whose machinations are well known of all men, we deem it advisable to call attention to the work of its delegate at the Democratic Convention in Denver.
W. F. Ferguson, one of the secretaries of the rank and file of the organization, appeared before the platform committee and with the unblushing efforttery which has characterized the conduct of these schemers, declared they had 600,000 negro votes to exchange for "spoils." We quote the last issue of the Negro Democratic newspaper of Boston, the official oman of the league. The rejection of scorn and oomph proffer of Negro votes to be delivered for a mass of political pottage, you well know.
Think upon it; an organization pre-tending to be consecrated to the cause of political salvation for the race, vowing to resent an alleged insult to the soldiers. These high principles and the race's salvation evidently do not stir them half as much as their want pinches them. These, the patriots and the protectors of the race, offer the sacred ballet of the Negro upon the altars of avarice. All their ethics are sunk out of sight, and the real purpose of these schemers is at last revealed and precisely this is what they seek. This, admittedly, is the service and the measure of the so-called anti-Taft movement. Few there are among us who would be so low as to be identified with this crowd of self-seeking schemers, who cannot draw from the Republican campaign fund, and in their desperation are endeavoring to lead the race into the mire of the Democratic party for "spoils."
To be regarded as leaders is the unholy ambition of these fellows. Most men have seen through their shams, while the others have been repelled by the personal career of all to the last one of the schemers, so there is meager likelihood that their boom will ever be bestowed. We admire an honest opponent, even if there be any such Negro Democrats. But he who would spearhead with the sacred right of a race merits the frowns and pity of all honest men. We feel safe in the prediction that the race in this election will teach these graffers that leadership must be the reward of honest, unselfish service, not the "spoils" of vulgarity and blackardism.

WHITE? YES! TEACH? NO!
Appointment of White Teacher Arouses Negroes
A NEGRO WOMAN
Principal Replaced by a White Woman—Much Ill Feeling
LARGEST NEGRO SCHOOL INVOLYED
MASS MEETINGS BEING HELD—NEGRO PAPER DECLARES APPOINTMENT IS A STEP BACKWARD—ASK FOR COLORED TEACHERS TO INSTRUCT COLORED CHILDREN.
Lynchburg, Va., July 22.—Because the school board of Lynchburg appointed a woman principal of Paynes school, the largest school here, in the place of one of their race, the Negroes of this city are very much exercised. They are holding mass meetings and doing all in their power to make the school board replace the white principal with a Negro.
Meetingss have been held at the Diamond Hill Baptist Church under the auspices of the Civic and Educational League of Lynchburg at which forgible speeches have been made and resolutions, were adopted to push the matter until the Negro citizens of this city receive proper consideration.
Prof. George Stephens, Prof. T. P. Smith, Drs. D. W. Shaw, Tyrell and Robert W. Goff have been appointed a committee to arrange the course to pursue.
While the League does not question the right of the school board to make changes when necessary for the good of the system it resents the appointing of a white principal in the place of a colored teacher.
Departed school contains twelve rooms and all the teachers are colored. Miss Legrand was appointed to all the place of Miss Smith who has been offered a lower position.
Under the heading, "A Step Backward," the Lynchburg American Trumpet recently shild.
Prond old Lynchburn, at one time the most liberal city of the South toward the North. The school board has appointed a white lady principal of the largest colored school in the city. The former principal was one of the oldest and best teacher—she was removed and offered another place in the system.
We do not mean to say that the School Board did not think it was best question their motives in placing a white principal over that school. If in their judgment a change of principal would be best for all concerned, why is it that head of the school? Many of us have been telling our folks that the Southern white man was our best friend, and in the face of one effort to bring about a better living between the press, we are only realised that there is a Negro problem.
"It is in the white man's power to help us. It is his duty to finish money and help us. It is our duty to finish money and fifty years to our credit, from which we have not received one cent. And the amount of taxes we pay on our own property we pay, and the rights granted to us by the Constitution of the United States we feel, we should enter our property when we are not treated fairly—and we are certainly not in this case."

HIGH AND THREE
Chicago Column on Business, Political, Social, Religious and Other Western.
Dotted around the various boroughs of the great city of New York the Afro-American can be found engaged in nearly all lines of business. If the length of time he remains at one stop is an indication of his success then it can be readily said he is making a success. In many of these instances he is not compelled to depend upon any particular claim, the neighborhoods being populated by all nations of people.
Up on Atlantic avenue, near Buffalo Brooklyn, E. H. Perry has a bicycle store and general repair shop. Mr. Perry is a young man from North Carolina who has the reputation of being one of the best wire weavers in this vicinity. His little shop is what might be called an auxiliary to his daily avocation. Mr. Perry is also a general fitting up of the tools to do his work are of his own construction. Perhaps the most unique piece of machinery he has for performing his work is a brazing machine. This machine Mr. Perry constructed in all of its parts. With a few pieces of tin he made the fan, then soldiered two ordinary fire brushes and a shaft from a part of a bicycle and exhaust pipe from an old gas pipe. He connected his belts to his electrical supply for power, and with a few touchings up here and there he has a brazing apparatus that the average mechanic would have had to expend a considerable sum for pairing bicycles, baby carriages, fitting keys, wiring houses for electricity and general repairing in wire.
In a conversation with Mr. Perry recently the writer asked him how he was treated by his neighbors. He said he was located right among some of the best people he had ever seen. His neighbors are all white. He is the president and vice president and is kept busy repairing the wheels. Housewives and nurse girls drop in frequently to have tires placed on baby carriages. He has been in the place one year and only one incident occurred to disturb his tranquility. His shop is situated in a tenement with three floors above, accommodating six families. On July 10, 2001, a police officer on the top floor—a native of Ireland. This expoliceman lost no time in expressing his disapproval of the presence of the "margar" among white people. Failing in his effort to get the other tenants to join him in his feeling against Mr. Perry he, the expoliceman, became very abusive, and with the assistance of Atlantic ave. a possessed himself by the landlord, charging him with being a nuisance and an undesirable tenant, to take effect July 1, and it did.
The Afro-Americans of New Brooklyn, or that part of the Borough of Brooklyn known as Wicksville, are not very enthusiastic organizers in any particular. The apathy which is displayed in church, literary and social matters seems alarming. Any effort which points to the upbuild of the people gets little encouragement through attendance. Perhaps the only organized work in any apperable section that the people can do is on Rev. Boyd's church, on Dean street. Rev. Boyd is doing a great work, and compared with other churches of longer standing has a large following.
The new A. M. E. Zion Church, which moved from Williamsburg, and provided over, until recently by Rev. J. W Waters, has brought some life to the Weeksville community. From a Church keep up their attendance and the good music and good preaching had a tendency to draw the surrounding population. Rev. Waters was preaching himself into the hearts of the people when the Conference met and sent him to the river. For some reason W. McCoy was of introducing his successor, Rev. J. W McCoy, who had been telegraphed for from Beaufort, N. C., to supply the congregation. So incensed was the reverend gentleman when he found that he was to be succeeded by another pastor, notwithstanding his other appointment, and another charge that made matters pretty warm for the presiding elder, who was present the first Sunday night Rev. McCoy made his appearance. The congregation was not just prepared for the innovation, but being in a cosmopolitan city succeeded to the intention of the best financiers in the A. M. E. Zion connection and it was said by one of the trustees that finance as well as religion was what the church needed.
In January last the Colored Political League of the 4th and 5th Congressional Districts formed at 1715 Fulton street, electing S. Augustus Walker, president; Augustus M. Hedges, secretary; and Thomas Scott, chairman of the executive committee, served in Presidential campaign years, it came to "fill a long felt want." Just how well it will succeed in its purpose remains to be seen. It appears that no decisive action has yet been taken by this organization and wonder is in the mind of many as what stand the league will take in the impending campaign, those who appear to be in the lead, John Smith, who holds on the voting population in that part of Kings county, while others are waiting to see what method Mr. Smith will take to get in out of the wet after he fell all over himself in getting together the forces to endorse Governor Hughes for the Presidential candidacy hastily longman him video against Kennedy. The suggestion of an opportunity to make itself felt is true without question. We will wait to see what will be done.

From the first it was plain that some underhand work was arranged by his opponents. When the count was taken the officer caused the devious opposed to Her, Wilkinson, to the number of the city of the numbers and "Stay," and this announcement was greeted with amusement.
The Children's Church, which has been under Rev. Holder's charge, next came in for an attack. This branch of the church work has been in his charge from the beginning three years ago, and has grown from five members to over two hundred. Similarly, the deacons gave as his reason for having it continued, that it was not for "Haptistic," it was determined to cut out this service. Prior to the Children's Church matter being settled the attendance was increased by the friends of the moderator, collated to help in the work of getting Rev. Holder at any cost. They insisted Rev. Holder either finally gave in, though one of the proponents anti-Holder deacons objected. Another vote was taken unfavorable to Rev. Holder.
When Rev. Holder demanded his back salary, one deacon, more filled with figures than religion, moved that the young man be given only half of the requested amount, that grounds he made this suggestion, he could not explain and finally subsided.
All through the meeting murmurs of "Star, Rev. Holder" was heard. One demon, in his attempts to quell this whisper, asked Rev. Holder what his resignation meant. The answer was, "It means what it says."
The recommendation of the board of deacons that Rev. Holder should receive but half of the back salary due him was unsettled at the close of the meeting, but such a measure cannot prevail. The whole meeting was a parody on justice, the kind of justice the people is the kind of a man certain people in the church, who seem to run it do not want and they are determined to get rid of him at any cost. This seems to prove the old saying that most folks do not know a valuable man when they see one. The deacons supposed to be the prisoner was at the meeting that Rev. Morris, former pastor of the church, voted against Rev. Holder's staying.
It is also charged that if Rev. Holder had agreed to run affairs at the church as the chosen few wished he might have become pastor of the dock, and had an occasion to speak to the clerk is not the case. He is not that kind of a clerk. He also conspioningly lacking in another paramount requisite—licentiousness. He did the work usually demanded of more than two men during last Winter, and offered a server nervous breakdown from overwork. All of which seems totally unappreciated by most of the members.
One notable exception was Mr. Askew, who faced the crowd and bodily declared: "Abyssinia ought to be proud of Holder. She will not get such another." My she will—when she has more Askew.
The moderator and deans may be proud of their inorganic success. Let them make the most of it, for if they don't get their desserts in this world they'll get many a bump in the world to but it is going back, back to where it started.

The Serene Unique Antlership Constitution holds in the center one of those instantianeous and innumerable conditions, never twice alike, which are manifestations of original fraternal life. It is the belief of original fraternal creations—The Beneficent Philanthronic Order of Roebucks of America and Elsewhere, Incorporated.
The entire course of Roebuckism is pursued from the original standpoint with the hope of being able to comprehendingly judge a Roebuck. This end a special effort is made of local conditions, the use and meaning of Serene Unique Antlership Constitution, the applying of methods and principles, and of the principles involved. So that the Serene Unique Antlership Constitution will be the fundamental principle necessary for a true appreciation of Unique Roebuckdom.
Antlership must become a matter of fraternal and individual feeling. Just as beauty in art cannot be comprehended in mathematical formula, so Unique Antlership cannot be obtained by mechanical means.
The Order of Roebucks is intended to give a practical exemplification of principles and objects, to test originality in the use of these principles and to interpret ideas definitely with confidence in the necessary for fundamental effect in the community and elsewhere.
The meeting was enthusiastic and congenial from first to last. The principles discussed were discussed and endorsed Bath Roeb Brooklyn, from a visit to lay acclamation.

TO THE PUBLIC:
Last summer twenty-one of my friends and myself formed a pool for the purpose of investing in stocks and bonds. Each member of the pool subscribed from $60 to $1,400—in all, $1,978.
In spite of the severe pain which came in October, among several Stock Exchange houses to fall and an unknown number of individuals to suffer for extremely bad health, I succeeded in making for my friends a PROFIT OF 20 PERCENT ON THEIR MONEY.
I believe that I can do as well again, therefore, I SHALL FORM ANOTHER POOL THIS SUMMER, and I hereby invite these interested to join.
The condition of becoming a member of the pool is that at least $20 must be sent me by August 1st. The total sum provided that date will be invested and when the stocks no invested in are sold out, the profits will be divided pro rata. We should be able to sell out within six months from August 1st, probably by Christmas.
If there are any who wish to communicate with members of the former pool please let me know.
REMEMBER—No amount will be accepted for this Pool after August 1st.

Cannon, of the North Carolina Supreme Court, made a plea against participation by participation by the south in national cheer, which brought a burst of cheer.
Justice Connor declared the South was first becoming *provincial*, because of its failure to participate in national affairs; that, it was shutting from involvement in *inherent* words that, in many respects it has only marked time since 1810.
An Included South.
The addition Associate Justice C. A. Woods, of the South Carolina Supreme Court, struck deeper still into the heart of the matter. Mr. Woods said that the South had for nearly half a century isolated itself from discussion and action on national and international issues, which concern all Americans. He said when a people are thus bound hand and foot, as the South is, to one political party, and excluded from participation in the discussion and decision of its betweenness and its oppression, it is manifest that their political, as well as their local intelligence must decline.
"Not Prewors is Combat."
"The supreme test of national as well as individual virtue," said Justice Woods, "is not prewors in combat, but what victors do to vanquished after the conquest; what strong do to weak who have fallen under their power. In 1855 the people of the South fled under power of the North. The North failed, and yielded to the temptation of fanaticism.
"To the South has come the same temptation and the same danger. The Negroes in the South have fallen under our power, and on our capacity to do justice to them, in private dealing, as well as in public action, depends in a large degree our character and future life as a people, for the doing of injustice is more direful in its effects on the doer than on the sufferer."
This declaration of Justice Woods caused a demonstration which lasted several minutes. He was thanked by a rising vote, and the compliment was paid him of making him a member of the North Carolina Bar Association.
The Demand for an Educated Ministry.
Realizing the demand among the Negro people for an educated ministry, the Turkogon Normal and Industrial Institute conducts in connection with its other departments a Bible Training School that not only ministers and liaisons may be benefited, but those also desire to do better missionary work or become intelligent Sunday school teachers. The chief aim of the Bible Training School is to build a knowledgeable body 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 obriety, cleanliness, regularity and accuracy are provided by the teaching which enable the students to not oppose or antagonize any theological work being done elsewhere, but instead to assist all denominations.
During the past year the enrollment in the Bible Training School has been satisfactory, but the opportunity is now provided for a considerably larger number. The teaching is free. The cost of living is small and pupils are given the opportunity to work out school. In some cases oil 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 succeed. For further information address BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Principal; Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.

GOES OVER DEAD LINE.
Influence of Colored Republican Club
and Its Leader Secures Promotion
Through the influence of the Colored Republican Club of the City of New York and the personal efforts of Collector Charles W. Anderson, its honorary president, Mr. James F. Adair, a clerk in the customs service, received a promotion and a substantial increase in salary recently. Mr. Adair is an active member of the committee of the Colored Republican Club and is the only colored clerk in the appraiser's department of the customs service of the port of New York.
Before his appointment it was considered practically impossible for a colored man to secure an appointment to a clerical position in the apperiser's branch of the customs service of this port. Being the only colored man in this position Mr. Adair is familiar with the knowledge that he knows how made goods as his promotion indicates. It must not be understood, however, that promotions of this kind are easily required, for without the influence of the Colored Republican "sub this promotion would not have been made, and there are several white men in the same office in which Mr. Adair is employed with good records and who have been in the service much longer than he has and in spite of the fact that they have strong political backing they have not in this case, to secure commissions. So in this case, it is an advantage to be colored—if one is a member of the Colored Republican Club of the City of New York.
Unlike most political organizations, that can only promise to do something for their members, this club is able to point to many things actually accomplished for its members and friends. Before this club was organized there was in the postal and customs service certain colored men, who actually colored man, however brilliant and accomplished, need venture. Largely through this club colored men are now holding positions in all branches of the service that a few years ago was considered impossible for them to obtain. What is more, the so-called "dead lines" have been broken down and colored men now not only holding the positions that they are now in line for and eligible for promotion to the highest positions in all branches of the service. If this organization had done nothing else but make it possible for colored men to be appointed assistant superintendents in the postal service that would have been much good but it has broken down similar dead lines in all branches of the service. All honor to the Colored Republican Club of the City of New York. Club House, 54 West 122 street.

Yo use every endeavor at their com-
.mand to reduce the percentage of crime
in the localit ywhere they reside. When
should this bexin, is an important ques-
tion. We quote the following from Ralph
Waldo Trine: “It is said that in Japan,
if one picks up_a stone to throw at a
dog. the dog will not tun,-as you will
find he will in almost. every-case. here,
because there the «log Jias never had a
stone thrown at him, and consequently
he docs not know what it means. This
spirit of gentleness, kindliness and care
‘for, the animal world is a characteristic
0 ‘the Japanese people.
It in turn manifests itself in all of
their relations with their fellow men;
and one of the results is that the amount
of Erime comniitted there each year in
Proportion to the population is. but a
very small fraction of that committed
in the United States. In ‘India, where
the treatment. of the aninial world is
something to” put to shame our own
sountry, with its boasted Christian civ=
Hization and power, there, with a. popu
Intion of some three hundred millions,
there is but onesfourth the amount of
crime that there is each year in Eng-
Tand, with a population of some twenty
inillions, and only a ffiction of what
it is in the United States, with a popu-
Yation of not more than one-fourth the
Population of Inylia. These are most sig-
nificant facts: they aré indeed facts of
tzemendous. import, and we should do
wisely to estimate them at their proper
value. Wer canmat bepin too early. in
inewitcating what would term human,
sentiments in the mind and heart of
every individual.” “The people of the

The situation of the Negro in the North is different from that which he occupies in the South. In the North he has the advantages of education and training. He can use the libraries and the schools and in general he is able to 'it himself to perform the highest service to the community of which he is capable. The trouble is for him to use his education after,he has obtained it, to practice his trade or profession after he has learned it. The opportunity denied the Negro in the North is the opportunity to work.
In the South, on the contrary, he has the opportunity to use his education, if he can gain it. He can become a teacher, a lawyer, or a physician; he can obtain employment in any of the trades. It is not so difficult in the South as in the North for the Negro to become a land owner. But his opportunities for education and improvement are small. The South does not appreciate so fully as the North does the necessity and the importance of protecting, of educating and upbuilding its laboring classes. Anything that would tend to dignify labor in the South; anything that would improve the condition of the common man, make his life happier, more wholesome and more elevated, would help the Negro. The temperance movement is an instance.
The white man can help the Negro in both directions. He can aid him in the North by opening to him the opportunity to work, particularly in the trades and the professions. He can also him in the South by securing him justice in the courts, the full protection of the law, equal opportunities for education, and by encouraging in him a proper respect for himself and for the work he is called upon to perform.
Has the Negro race since slavery made any real progress, or has it, on the other hand, gone backward? I believe there are facts enough at hand to settle this question.
If it could be settled once for all that the Negro race-was not going backward, but was, instead, going forward, there would be some positive gain, not only to the Negro, but to the South and to the country.
A race, like an individual, is largely influenced in its success by what the rest of the world expects of it. In the life of a race, just as in the life of a people, there are frequently critical periods when the confidence and goodwill Bif friends and neighbors turn the tide of fortune in one direction or in another, so that they can go up or go down. The encouragement that my race received directly after the war from the heroic hand of Northern teachers who followed the armies into the South and started the education of the Negro was, especially at that time, of inestimable value. Perhaps the people of the North, after the war, expected too much of the Negro. But they did the Negro people less harm in this respect than if they had expected too little of them.
What do the facts which we have learned in regard to the weaknesses and the strength of the Negro justify us in expeting of him in the future? Has he a right to hope and struggle still? Let us consider for a moment the facts in regard to the progress of the Negro.
The Negro people have made as little progress in the farming districts as elsewhere in the South. There is more ignorance there than in the cities, and the transition from the system of forced to free labor has gone on more slowly there elsewhere. Notwithstanding this fact, in 1890, when the last census was taken, Negro farmers in the United States owned something like 22,288 square miles of territory, an area nearly as large as that of Holland and Belgium combined. In other words, the Negro farmer, in the fifty years since the civilization of slavery, starting with no capital and no education, has come into possession of a territory as large as that upon which Belgium and Holland support 12,000,000 people. That certainly indicates that the Negro has made progress.
No one dies thus before the war. Neer, who was briefly valued in the South, since the larger part of it was vested with him was in Negro labor of the assumption that the Negro labor was a less efficient laborer in freed than he was in every would lead us to expect that the Southern States were going backward instead of forward since the war. But the fact is that in the year 1004 and after the war we had in hand 11-70-80-90 amount of forty-five whites in 15-70-amount of forty-five blacks. And yet the war was of cultivating and the country picking will hardly in the hand is the farms to to farmers. South, since the war we will not be able to possess
"Much has been spit about the dislike of the white man for work in association with Negroes. The failure of the whites to have a larger share in the agriculture of the South has been attributed to this cause. This seems to be clearly in error. The dislike of the association of races in labor is, in the slave-holding States, less than in the North. There can be no question that if the Southern folks could have made white labor profitable they would have preferred to employ them, for the reason that the plantations would have required less fixed capital for the operation. The fact was, and is, that the Negro is there a better laboring man
in the field than the white. Under the conditions, he is more enduring, more contented and more trustworthy than the men of our own race."
I want to emphasize the fact that in estimating the progress which the Negro has made in the past, or is likely to make in the future, we too often overlook the conditions under which this progress has been made. For instance, it is well known to anyone who has looked into the matter that the Negro people have advanced more rapidly in certain parts of the country than they have in others. The only explanation of this is the difference in the conditions under which they have lived. In Gloucester County, Va., where the population is about equally divided among the races, the conditions are perhaps unusually favorable. For a number of the colored people of this country have been in their schools directly under the influence of Hampton Institute, from which most of the teachers in their schools have been drawn. In this county the Negroes pay taxes on land valued at $7,933.55, and on buildings that have been assessed at $79,933.55. They own, in short, a community where they constitute half the population, a little more than one-seventh, of the real estate of the county. Almost all, if not all, of this has been accumulated on the soil where they were formerly slaves, in the short period of forty years.
Nor is this an isolated instance. One of the most interesting stories of Negro progress is that of the building of the Negro town of Mound Bayou, Mississippi. It is situated about twenty miles from the Mississippi, about midway between Memphis and Vicksburg. The founder of this town is Isaiah T. Montgomery, who was a slave of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy. The land upon which this town is located belonged to the railroad, and it was at their invitation that he undertook the work of establishing upon this rich but low-lying land a Negro town. New settlers began cutting and disposing of the timber during the year 1800, when the original survey of the town was made. It embraced at that time about twenty acres; a few years later it was regularly incorporated. At the present time the town embraces about seventy-five acres. It has a population of between 400 and 500, with a surround; population of 2,500. The community as a whole owes about 300,000 acres, one fourth of which is under cultivation. A variety of crops are raised, but the bulk of the produce is cotton, of which about 3,500 bales are exported annually.
The sixth annual report of the Mound Bayon Business League shows that there are forty business places in the town, employing an aggregate of $90,000 capital and doing a business of $175,000, to which must be added the post office money order business. There are eleven public buildings, including two graded and one public school and town hall building, altogether valued at $20,000. The merchants of the town are generally recruited from the thrifty farmer class, who having cleared their farms, moved into town for business, social and educational advantages. In 1901 the Bank of Mound Bayon was established, with a capital of $10,000. It has its own building, a two-story pressed-brick building, with a modern vault, time-lock safe and other fixtures. The total clearances of the bank from September, 1905, to January, 1906, were more than $10,000.
There are now, as near as I have been able to learn, about thirty-one banks in the United States owned and conducted by Negroes Twelve of these are in the State of Mississippi, eight are in Virginia, four in Georgia, two each in Tennessee, Arkansas and Indian Territory, and one each, I believe, in Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina.
At the recent meeting of the National Nato Bankers Association, League representatives of countries of these banks met and formed a National Nato Bankers Association. The purpose of this meeting is to encourage the establishment of new banks in the Nato Banking of the country for mutual support, and to encourage the establishment of public companies and the banks already in existence. The Nato Bankers Association was established in 1913 by a group of new banks in the country and protected by the laws of the country. The members of the association are members of the Nato Bankers Association.
the Nexro people have been educated by Nexro teachers and they have helped the illiteracy of the masses of the people to less than fifty per cent. Nexro's at intellectual capacity have been continued exclusively to the profession of school teacher or preacher. The fact of the existence of these banks shows that they are making progress in other directions. In my opinion there is no higher test of intellectual and moral fiber of the people than its capacity to conduct successfully a business like a bank, which demands the highest order of intelligence and involves great moral responsibility.

Just before the adjournment of the special session of the Legislature, according to the New York Sun, a Negro politicism from Rhode Island called on Mr. Woodruff and told him he and other prominent Negro politicians of that State were working up a strong Taft movement and freeded only a little money to head off the anti-Taft feeling. He got the money and was also supplied with letters of introduction.

"From all I can hear this movement against Taft is being led by So-andso," said Secretary Lafayette B. Gleason to Mr. Woodruff.
"Why, that's the man I gave a subscription to and recommended as a good Taft organization worker," the chairman exclaimed.
"I know," said Lafie Gleason, "and with your name on his list and your letters he came to Albany and, rounded up a good sum. I don't know how much he got, but I know that he got me."

THE PERFORMER ABROAD
"This country is swarming with colored performers from Millican's Minstrels. It seems like you can run across them from Liverpool to Russia. I have bought many of them cigarettes and something to drink. Many of them have not seen a dime since leaving home, have no shoes and are walking about in the rain ringing wet. Something should be done to stop unreliable managers from bringing them over and then leaving them in distress."
Several days ago a well known colored performer in New York received a letter from a friend in Europe who has become prominently identified with the theatrical profession on the other side. The writer dwelt at length on the unfavorable, impression some colored performers are creating, and we reproduce above a paragraph of his letter, which is only a part of the writer's comment on the situation.
It is about, time, as the author of the letter declares, that a stop be put to the 'practice of flooding' of freejien countries with numbers of the race who are withstanding to do us good, but every instance produce harmful results to all concerned. But it is not so much the fault of the performer as it is the management which takes him out of America.
If these people, who were so unfortunate to become stranded in Europe, went to that country under a thoroughly reliable management such disgraceful conditions as recited in the opening paragraph of this article would never occur. For a number of years there have been white men who, with more nerve than anything else, have taken age of 30 and been denied the travel and see foreign lands. They have formed musical organizations on a shoe string with a view to taking them to England to make barrels of money. About all the money these managers possess is just enough to carry the company to their point of destination. If the company makes money all goes well, at least for a while, with the members of the show; if business does not come up to expectations their hard times are in store for the performers, and theyuffield of the Millican's Minstrels, deeming, of course, that the report is true about the minstrels.
In almost every instance the manager accures enough money to insure himself of transportation to America and living expenses until he arrives. It is seldom, indeed, that the manager is seen walking around in a destitute condition. He is usually too smart for that.
From now on all performers desirous of going to foreign countries should at first find out whether the proposition is a bona fide one; that the management is beyond any doubt reliable, and an understanding should be reached relative to transportation to America. The colored performer should wake up to the fact that he has been the victim of "wild cat" ventures across the sea long enough.
When one leaves America and is thrown on his own resources, due to the failure of the company to do a good business, he is certainly in bad straits abroad. Far away from the home of his birth, from friends and those who would take a personal interest in him, unused to the customs of the country in which he is stranded; he cuts a pathetic figure.
But while the figure he cuts is quite pathetic, the sentiment he makes in behalf of the race is far more so. Any person seeking aid and asking for food is bound to create a feeling of pity, but we can't say so much from a standpoint of respect. It is hard to form a picture of a foreigner giving a colored person a foreigner, himself with the opinion that the recipient of the favor is his equal in any sense. If the author of the letter recites the true state of affairs, the sight of a large number of colored persons, going about without good shoes and penniless, willing to eat and sleep wherever they can, is one not to be relished by those who want to see race prejudice at a low ebb, if at all, in many parts of Europe.
It is well known that in several European cities a certain class of colored performer has already incited some little race prejudice, which has been made more pronounced by the prejudice-white man from America who resists set policy of making men against the colored man everplace he goes. In many cities, however, no attention is paid the latter by his anti-Negro utterances, and it is up to the colored man to create a favorable or unfavorable impression by his conduct.
There is pity for the performer who is lured from America by unscrupulous managers and, is later compelled to go about and make a living the best way he can. But there is another class of colored performer who should be bitterly insulted "all" and is the kind who goes to Europe and has a dream that he can do anything he desires without being censured—because he is a colored man.
In recent years there has been more than one colored performer to appear in public places abroad and, through ignorance, make a monkey of himself, with his own folly of his indiscretion would tend to harm him only. But as the conduct of
JOE----THE BRITTONS----SADIE
just one colored man can react in such a way as to make it harmful to hundreds of his race therein lies the tragedy. The writer thinks it timely to remark that even in America to-day certain colored performers are making themselves ridiculous in a manner that is doing the profession no good. They should in future use some of their potentially less attractive jobs of the performer who goes abroad with the idea that he has no limitations, and those who leave America with unreliable managers and later become stranded, have not made conditions too trying as yet for the performer who goes abroad with common sense and under a management of high standing. But it is discouraging to surmise what will happen if a halt is not put on those who are doing more harm than good. From time to time, performers are resulted in different cities of this country by the incoming of an undesirable element, in every instance increasing race prejudice.
As the colored performer is in a better position to crystalize abroad a feeling of respect and friendship for the colored man than any other member of, his race, due to the large number going to Europe yearly, let him so conduct himself that even Messrs. Vardaman, Tillman and others will find it difficult to incite race prejudice should they ever become so disposed.

Stella Wiley is said to promptly hand over his royalties to his brother, who risks them in speculative ventures which up to date have not been profitable except to others on the stock market.

DISPOSITION OF OPERA BOXES.
Philadelphia Society Women to Determine Highlight of Box Holder.
PHILADELLIA. July 21.—Disposition of the twenty-four grand-tier "boxes" in Oscar Hammerstein's new Philadelphia Opera House will be made through a secret committee of five, representing Philadelphia women whose ancestors go back beyond the great grandfather generations. These women will pass on the finance of the opera house to a new fund for a box in the grand tier, where society will show itself.
The methods which the five will use are as mysterious as their identities. All that could be learned from them is the committee of citizens assisting Mr. Hammerstein in disposing of the boxes, was that the women were appointed as an officer in the committee by their social experience and connection with the old Philadelphia families.
BHITTONS AGAIN PRAISED.
Well-Known Dancers Don't Get Big Heads Despite Success
And Heads Despite Success—continue to make New Yorkers sit up and take notice in the good old summer time. This is one season they can recall with pleasure in years to come. Nearly every critic in New York has declared that Britons are just masters dancing.
Ashton Stevens, dramatic editor of the New York Evening Journal, was the last of the writers outlaws in Britons' footed under the heading "Britons' Armless Foot Have Never Gone to His Head," the writer said: "The Allumbra that includes the delirious monologue and ultimately terrestrial songs of Nat Mar."
RITTONS...SADIE
colons Willis and the irresistible 'roughhouse' character work of Bert Leslie in 'Hogan's Visit' two years that very recently have been celebrated in this column our familiar colored friends, the colons, easily contrive to hold their own.
"And to me this seems a good time to say a bit more than usually is said about the daming of Mr. and Mrs. Britton. They are so well known to the vaudeville crowd, certainly trumpet in any company in which fortune finds them, that nobody really writes about them any more. They are, in the language of the vaudeville box, often, such 'superfire performers' who are sure to be held of relentlessly into the hands of receiving them to the ballet of fun."
"Now, one of the oldest legends of vaudeville, one that has been immortally stirrized in the earliest of George Ales's 'Fables' is to the effect that if a 'team of performers makes a 'hit' with an amusing reason in the minds of said performers why the same 'act' should not be equally successful in the year 1808,
"But there are times when satire refuses to satire. Take the ancient and noble 'team' of McIntyre and Heath, McIntyre and Heath did their Georgia Minstrels specialty so long so well that, just about the time the sauvage manners of the audience were taken over by Klaw & Erlanger themselves jumped into the came and lurred McIntyre and Heath into a 'Beitimate' musical show written around and including the Georgia Minstrels specially!"
"The Brits are not even suggesting that The Brits are not identified." I like see good 'variety' people where they belong and that is usually where they were born. And if any couple ever was born to the real 'variety' stage its name certainly is Britton. And it matters not if the Britons never change their 'act'. If they are not the same as it as they have done these last few years.
"In my judgment Mistah Britton is now the keenest darkeyed dancer on any stage. There may be feet in those hard-sold shoes 'of his, but they tap wood if they are carried cargoes of radium."
"Mrs. Brittons' energy is all her own. She is a hard worker, a hard dancer and a harder singer. Indeed, she has to be short of a hardware singer when she is Brittons' pedal fortissimo. She is in every sense the dutiful 'missus'. With a smile that would sugar-cure a ham and a song that would open a safe de-vault, she lends herself, body, voice and sole to the glorification of her husband.
"They have a dancing 'match' in which she nearly tears her chubby self in two—or three or four. And then he 'throws his arm' at applause. He executes the lopper-jointed bring home the money, labe; he shuffles the 'chu-chu' and the 'chug-chug'; he ambles the complex 'Conress that, that, that'. And he executes the cries to the crowd. 'How a that?'
And the crowd's answer takes out of Mistah Britton his salary's worth in encores. There is no rest for that Britton. There is no labor. The more encores the merrier it is. It always watermelon work for him.
"I have seen Mistah Britton here and there for a number of years. I observed the increase of his popularity, the gradual betterment of his 'position' in the dance, the improvement of his dancing. I see more of him in a comparatively nothing to an absolutely national something. But I have yet to see that bullet head of his onstage, so I have yet to see vaudeville so often. I have yet to see his smile. I have yet to see him
other than an ample, unifying, unapplied Satisfied worker. He brilliantly
applied his knowledge to the salary in, but he
carried it to the very last million."

This week reminds one of the days when Ernest Hogan was star of the Memphis Students. The company is doing four shows a day, playing at Hammerhead Theatre and equal number of times.
William Harker, formerly of the Williams and Walker Company, was compelled recently to go to Raleigh, N. C., to attend the funeral of his father, Heather New York, who died days when he was informed that his mother was dead.

SENSE OF SOUND.
Many Who Can't Distinguish One Air From Another.
The question as to the color sense is much like that as to the sound sense. There are those who can't tell "Yankee bumble from 'Old' Bumble," had no discrimination for tones. Country choirs have had earnest singers whose idea of singing bumble was to produce a buried grumble, or no key whatever. Very few among those who hear great musical interruptions arrive at the point of separating sounds, and properly locating any particular instrument. They cannot possibly apprehend the flatting of notes. It is safe to say that fine distinctions of musical intervals are not to be missed in the music of the orchestra, but the music cannot be misunderstood of music, though they may satisfy inform us of the quality of the performance. Who hears the overtones and the reflex undertones of the most musical of instruments, the piano or the organ, and then he cannot misunderstand the wonder that inspires his emotions. Nothing else solitifies the imagination to celestial heights as music; and it is a question whether the technical comprehension higher than the mechanical of the orchestra there are such this is not understood. But the infinite poesy of sound in the mind and heart of the musician answers with an infinite response. In hearing great music in an orchestra, in to complicate the power of music. Can we say that the effect of a grand dramatic hymn of religious character is wholly that of its musical setting? Plainly not. Yet we it not for the musician to respond to the heart and sentiment. Here then, we find music adding to the force of nobile language and sublime ideas a divine element which transfigures the intellectual and emotional imagery into a greater sphere. We raise it as a life. Life is not of little limitations are forgotten. When the "King of kings, Lord of lords" swells forth from a great choir, when the "Alibaba" bursts into necissim, is it all the music? Not all; but without the choir song, the organ can read the text without a moment's stir. Music is the supreme incitement of divine worship and human aspiration.
And not yet can be paralleled with the magic of sound the matter of color sense, another order of our apprehension. The more our apprehension in the development of human faculties when color will be as significant of soul as sound is. It is as delicate a sense it is as delightful to perception, it is as subtle a secret to perception, it is as impression, but it is not an inspiration or a glory. Even in the miraculous lunes or sunrise or tints of sunset it pleases and charms only; it does not touch in its gracees or splendors more than the brightest southern humming. Who could this be? It must be because of something inherently evanescent in color] It is all illusion—as the clouds and the rays of the setting sun are, as the dawn-break and the dusk-break, the day after, as the storms and the rays. There is in them the vast force of Nature—superb, splendid, every moment a glory—but having no context in our nautrage human life. We view it from outside. An ellipse of sun or moon, a sphere of water, a sphere of the sun, a comet's sensational passage—all these are grand, and awaken interest; but none of these move us.
When sound in the guise of music comes to us, we are stirred to our depths because it appeals to an essential of that gift known as human life. The gift of music is a domestic heresy, see the phenomena of sight, and are more or less affected by them; but music is a step beyond them. There are indeed individual exceptions.
but this is the rule. Music is a divine gift to the higher organism, and one of the special providences for which we should be duly grateful—Springfield Republican.

MANY FUNCTIONS IN PITTSBURG.
Smoky City Residents in Midst of Summer Outings
Pittsburgh, PA. July 20. Pleinies boat excursions and entertainments are witnessed here almost every week. The boat excursions gave its annual boat excursion its annual crown. The Loendi Building and Loan Association owes their origin to the Loendi Club, which is the oldest and most representative club in the city. The wealthiest members of the Loendi Club are members of the Loendi Club. This club owes a fine two story brick building on Fulton street, and has amused some of the most prominent men in the city. The club has learned that whichever anything is given under the auspices of the Loendi Club, the Loendi Assembly or the Loendi Building and Loan Association it will be held in class order. Their picnic this year was as usual a success. Mr. John Brown, after a lingering illness, died recently and was buried July 11. He was held at St. Benedict's Catholic Church and was attended by the Order of Elks of which he was a member.

While Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie Hospital two prominent streets, there is no one in the city making greater efforts for this great movement than they. The lawn, fete on Avery College ground, July 16, under the auspices of the '16 Hospital Association, was a success.

cloak in the history of Mt. Giload Church
which was established in 1891 Iw Rev.

East 22d street, but now the church has
secured two exceptionally fine city lots,
and has converted the two private houses
which stood thereon into what will be a
large, commodious church, with a seating
area of 1,000. The church is B. Trossley the hustling and energetic pastor, with loyal and sacrificing people
who are standing so manfully by him

attentive, suitable and convenient place of worship.

David Brown, and the past officers of Touisville, the invitation was extended to the District Grand Lodge for this distinct honor.

Gilead Church for five years and during that time he has built up a large membership, and is credited as using one of his services in assisting in the parade. He has a large following of people irrespective of denominational affiliations and his advent into the very midst of his people will further augment his membership. He has increased his activities. He is a hustling preacher, progressive and aggressive and it is not saying too much that Mt. Gilead might be long in the leading Baptist Church, alone in Harlem, but in all New York.

ATLANTA, GA., July 18.—The man who has probably done more toward encouraging our people to buy homes than any other colored man in the State of Alabama is Mr. John L. Thomas, of Union Springs, who lives in a splendid residence of excellent appointments completed within the last year.
Mr. Thomas is a baker, restaurateur and fresh meat merchant and has been for several years. He is gradually letting go these different lines of activity, however, to devote his whole time and attention to the real estate business. He owns 344 vacant, improved city lots. He not only sells the lots outright, but in many cases builds fine houses upon them and disposes of them on the installment plan.
Mr. Thomas: moreover, encourages our people to buy farms, of which he owns a score or more.
He is president of the local league which intends to be represented at Baltimore next August.
Branch League Organized at Eufaula.
At Eufaula we succeeded in reorganizing the league with Mr. John Chisholm as president and Mr. Williams as secretary.
Mr. Chisholm, notwithstanding there are three or four white tailors as competitors, holds the lead over all others—his white customers being more numerous than members of his own race. He is a workman of superior finish in his line, as he conforms his business and workmanship strictly to well-defined scientific principles. Mr. John A. Ward is a popular, hustling greecryman, with an extensive trade confined to no particular race. Crossing over from the State of Alabama into that of Georgia, we stopped at Albany. Here we found the local league wide-awake with Mr. Joseph H. Lee as its president. He and his brother, Dr. Emory O. Lee, manage one of the largest drug stores of the race in the South. It does a wholesale as well as a retail business. Being located in the city of artesian wells (there are 15 or 20 of them in different parts of the town their firm name is The Artesian Drug Company. They also have a branch店 in another part of town.
That night we met the members of the league and their friends in Eureka Baptist Church. Several speeches were made and it was decided to have a delegate at the annual meeting.
After the meeting, the members of the league together with the organizer, repaired to the beautiful residence of Mr. Jackson, a well-to-do and popular tailor and league member, where a sumptuous banquet was served.
The "Artesian City" has a large number of seemingly prosperous business men. We have not space to mention all, but there are "The People's Grocery," in which the Lee brothers are also largely interested and Messrs. Stewart and McCarthy, who have a well-stocked store and are unusually successful, in the same line.
Dainanyllc and Valdosta.
At Thomasville we reorganised the local league; then went on to Valdosta where we found the league there not only still in existence but active. At night we met and spoke to them, giving what help and information we had, and getting in return no little inspiration from what we saw and heard while in their midst.
Dr. Stafil and also Dr. M. H. Cobb are not only very successful politicians, but very much interested in the welfare of the business community and most festivals of their activity. We are assured that the league will be in existence.

The Colored V. M. C. A. Building at Columbus.
Directions in a little way we desire to call attention to the building of the Colored YMCA in Columbia, Georgia, handsome gift to the colored people of his native town be that magnanimous benefface George Foster Peabody, of New York City. It is a solitary structure, equipped with the most modern appointments. The degree of the office, together with its furnishings, will approximate $25,000. It was frightful and presented to the colored people last fall, at which time there was a celebration. Dr. Booker T. Washington was the principal speaker on the occasion of the presentation.
The above being the facts in the main concerning the origin of this building, we, of course, were somewhat interested to discover how the gift was appreciated and patronized by those for whom it is especially intended. We got our information from one who is in position to know, and whose word is "good" with both races in the community. He says that when the quarters were first opened all were in high glee and everything moved along smoothly and satisfactorily. After a while interest in the
institution began to wane. And yrgnes to say, move or less opposition especially to the Sunday afternoon exercises became manifest (either active or passive) on the part of those from whom the managers had every reason to expect moral support, viz., the preachers.
It ought not to be so, when you view it from every point of reason, common sense, and expediency, but nevertheless it is a fact which cannot be successfully controverted that nearly every enterprise which has for its object the physical moral and material upift of our people meets with the open or secret opposition of nine-tenths of the ministers in that locality, unless they can see wherein their salaries are going to be increased either directly or indirectly by lending their aid to such organization as are outside of their special callinga. This is true in regard to the Negro Business Leagues, Y. M. C. A., building and loan associations and other similar organizations. It is no pleasure to us to make such a sweeping accusation against the "gentlemen of the cloth," but when we say these things we speak advisedly. With a few exceptions, when it comes to helping our people to gain a foothold upon this footstool of the Almighty, the average Negro preacher isn't worth the salt that is put in his bread.
He is too intensely selfish and interested in "frying the fat" for his own benefit. We admit that the charge is a serious one, but "the truth is the light of the world." And, now let him who would take exception to what we allege, "cast stones," but let him first be sure that "he is without guilt." CHARLES H. MOORE, Organizer Local Negro Business Leagues.
YONKERS MEN OUT FOR- TAFT
Their Republican Club in Yokkers Adopts Strong Resolutions.
Any belief that colored Republicans in Yonkers were prejudiced against Taft because of the Brownsville affair has been entled by the First Assembly District Colored Republican Club of that city. At the most recent meeting of that organization in its headquarters, in No. 2 Wells avenue, the attendance being exceptionally large, the following resolutions were adopted unanimously: "The general welfare of the Nation will be best conserved by the success of the Republican party in November, not only by reason of the high statesmanship, experience and the abilities of Mr. Taft, but also on account of the superior confidence the American people have in Republican principles over Democratic principles. The Republican party for the last twelve years has administered the affairs of state in a manner reflecting credit both upon itself and the Nation, and the continuance of safe and sane government is dependent upon its success at the poll."
Under the leadership of President Bray the club has had a remarkable growth, and is now the largest organization of colored voters ever formed in Yankees. The officers are:
