Peculiar Situation Develops in Georgetown, Kentucky They Hold Balance of Power and are in a Position to Make Town go wet or Dry Majority of Negro Voters in Favor of Prohibition—One Election Resisted in a Tie Vote Another to be Held Soon LEXINGTON, Ky., August 5.—Since the inauguration of the campaign throughout the country for prohibition it is doubtful if there has been anywhere such a unique situation as has developed in Georgetown, where the Negro vote holds the balance of power. On July 24 a local option election was held which resulted in a tie vote, according to the Election Commissioners. It was not until one vote against local option was thrown out on the grounds that it had not been properly voted that the result of the election was given. It is believed by many that the one vote ignored by the Election Commissioners had been lost by a Negro who was in favor of prohibition. As the election was declared at a tie another one will be held at a near date to decide the interesting controversy of whether Georgetown shall have saloons. Excitement is at fever heat, and one of the features of the campaign is that the majority of Negroes are in favor of prohibition. Despite the size of Georgetown local politics have been an interesting theme for years. A few years ago several Democrats conceived a plan to make the town Democratic, but in order to do so they had to consider the little school precinct called "Boston," where the Negro voters reside. They had an ordinance introduced in the city council declaring that "Boston" was not within the city limits of Georgetown, and, therefore, the residents of "Boston" had no right to vote at the Georgetown elections. For two years the Negro voters were deprived of the ballot. After the council had passed the exclusion clause the case was taken to the Circuit Court, which upheld the actions of the council. An appeal was taken by the Negro citizens and the decision was reversed and remanded to the trial court where Special Judge M. J. Sauffy heard the case. So filmsy was the testimony offered by the promoters of the anti-Negro movement that Judge Saufy decided the case in favor of the Negro voters. Since then the Negro voters have been unusually active in asserting their political rights and have been prominent in all local questions. Both sides sought to win the Negroes over in the recent election, and since the vote was a tie the Negro voters are in even greater demand than before. The Lexington Standard is strongly in favor of prohibition, and in an article on "Can They Fool the Negro?" recently said: "Through the efforts of Messrs. J. S. Fleming, W. S. Kelley and F. M. Thomson, of Georgetown, the School House point of the town whose population made up of Negroes, was over eight months disfranchised and adjudged not a part of the town. We publish the full particulars of this outrageous action in the present, issue of the Standard. "Through this method an ordinance was passed and judgment entered in court cutting out Boston, but the Court of Appeals knocked this out and scattered dismay in the ranks of the conspirators. Lawyer Kelly was the volunteer prosecutor, Mr. Thomson and Mr. Fleming were the witnesses, who claimed that the Negroes of Boston paid no taxes and ought to be deprived of their civil and political rights. This was done simply because they were Negroes and because they were Republicans. This action was an attack upon their dearest rights and was rebuffed. We do not intend to be equivocal in this matter; what we mean to say is, as a public journalist, we have the undoubted right to criticise public men whose conduct is not in keeping within the letter of the law. The men who fathered that dastardly attack are now leading the local option movement in the interest of the Deacratic party. Will the Negroes allow these same men to lead like sheep into the shambles for hutchery? "We believe not." DEAL JACKSON. Successful Georgia Farmer Who Is Honored as Champion Gardener, Gardener Deal Jackson is a Negro farmer who lives in Dongherry County, Ga. His house is located a few miles from the little city of Albany, and no man in community stands higher than he. He is respected by all, and is especially well thought of by his white fellow citizen. Jackson has just marketed the first bale of cotton in his State, and the first in his entire section of the country, for that matter. This is the seventh time he has performed this feat. He takes a pride in his farm; he hustles to get that first bale on the market—and he gets it there, regularly. Jackson has relied entirely on his own efforts all of his life. He is independent and asks no man odds. His credit is good for whatever he wants at any store or bank in Albany. He has never been known to want more than he might reasonably be expected to pay for; that is the keynote of his character. He does not concern himself at all with politics or politicians. He hasn't any "pull" anywhere, save such as is legitimately due him as a reward for his honest endeavor. He has reduced cotton raising to an exact science; he knows just what the plant will do under given conditions. He has generally managed to get his first bale in a little ahead of his white competitors, in spite of all their efforts—indeed, he broke all of his own previous records this year. Jackson's great card is attending to his own business and doing it well. his own businesses and doing Nobody ever told of Jackson's being made a trouble of any variety. Business men value his opinions on things, agricultural. It is a pit! there are not more colored men like Deal Jackson. If there were, there would be no race problem, real or imaginary. His example is uplifting. It ```markdown ``` The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or heavily pixelated area with no discernible content.

SIGN CAUSES TROUBLE Restaurant Keeper Thoreau By White and Colored for Jim Crow Theaters. CHICAGO, August 4.—Many of the Negro citizens of the "Windy City," as well as many whites, are enraged over a sign that was recently displayed in the window of a cheap restaurant, which read as follows: "We do not desire colored trade." The restaurant in question is a small, dark place, located at 224 Thirty-fifth street, and is what might be called a hole in the wall. Since the sign was put in the window a petition has been circulated with a view to declaring the proprietor and his sign a nuisance. Both white and colored people are signing the petition, and the restaurant-keeper is said to already regret his indirect action. The Chicago Defender has come out with the following regarding the incident: We hope the people living in that end will not let the escaped convict go, but see to it that our children, wives, mothers and sweethearts are not further insulted by this man(?) who runs the joint. It is said he is one of the rioters of Atlanta, Ga. Should the people in the vicinity of Calumet and Forest avenues not act, the Defender will take the matter in hand. NOW A DOCTOR OF MEDICINE. ATLANTIC CITY, August 5.

The board was in session at Haddon Hall, and papers of 395 applicants were examined. There were 33 failures, but the examiners declare that, although the tests were extremely rigid, the examinations were 5 per cent. better than at any time in the past fourteen years. Among the colored successful applicants was Dr. Chester A. Arthur Gordon, oldest son of the Rev. Dr. Alexander Gordon, pastor of -Monumental Baptist Church, Philadelphia. Dr. Gordon graduated from medical department of Howard University. May 23, 1908, and took the State board examination at Philadelphia on June 23, 24, 25 and 26. ·NYACK DEBATERS WIN.

J., and the Peoples' Literary Society of Nyack met in a highly entertaining and intellectual battle at St. Phillip's A. M. E. Zion Church on the 22nd inst. The subject debated was: "Which has the greater influence over human conduct—the fear of punishment, or the hope of reward?" Messrs. W. H. Myers and J. B. Cephas were the defenders of Nyack's contention, that it was the fear of punishment, and though laboring under several disadvantages, so forceful and convincing were their arguments against their onponents, that the judges rendered their decision in Nyack's favor. The whole affair was well received. A good number attended from Englewood and all enjoyed a royal good time. This society meets alternately on Wednesday evenings at the Pilgrim Baptist Church and St. Phillip's Church. Rev. Van Buren preached at Closter, N.' J., last Sunday.

West Virginia Democrats Declare Themselves NEGROES AROUSED Democrats Insert Two Planks in Platform.—One For Negro Disfranchisement and the Other For "Jim Crow" Cars. CHARLESTON, W. Va., August 3.—West Virginia Negroes are greatly aroused over the action of the Democratic State Convention in declaring for "Jim Crow" car laws and Negro disfranchisement. So much so that they have already begun to organize and will inaugurate one of the hottest campaigns against Democracy that has ever been witnessed in the history of this State. The Democrats of West Virginia went on record as being in favor of Negro disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" cars at the session of the Democratic State Convention Thursday afternoon. At this session two planks, one for the disfranchisement of the colored electorate as it precluded in the South, and the other demanding Jim Crow cars on the railroads operated in West Virginia. Heeding not the warnings of the last Democratic governor of the State, William A. MacCorkle, that such action meant the defeat of Louis Bennett, their candidate for governor; hearing not the pleidings of W. E. and Col. Joseph E. Chilton, their leaders, for many years through adversity; who condemned such a course as suicidal; listening not to the words of their keen-visioned leader, Col. John T. McGraw, who foresaw defeat, the Democrats of West Virginia, early this afternoon, ruthlessly scattered, to the four winds of heaven whatever chance they had after the nomination of their gubernatorial candidate.

NEGROES FOR TAFT Prof. Scarborough Days There is No Barrier Detection From Taft in WASHINGTON, July 25.—Prof. W. S. Scarborough, president of the Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, while in Washington to day en route to New York, declared that there would not be any serious defection of the Negro vote from Taft in Ohio, and he did not believe there would be any large movement against the Republican ticket on the part of the Negroes elsewhere. The Brownsville affair was not a political issue with the masses of the colored folk, but Prof. Scarborough thought there was a conviction among the Negroes that Senator Foraker should be returned to the Senate from Ohio and they were inclined to ask some assurances on this point. Prof. Scarborough was the guest here of the Rev. Dr. John Hurst, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. "Mr. Taft's Republicanism is unquestioned and his attitude on the race question has, I think, been misunderstood," said the Negro educator. "I am sure that between Taft and Bryan. Mr. Taft is to be preferred a thousand times. If Mr. Bryan should make promises to the Negro he could not fulfil them, for his party would not permit him to do so." Prof. Scarborough said he would use his influence in every honorable way to aid in the election of Secretary Taft.

PRICE, 5 CENTS The State is at Last to Have a Cool Executive Head Governor-Elect Declares State Has Suffered Too Long From Sensationalism TO BE CONSERVATIVE There Will be a Convention of Bombayquory and Gold-Headed Cone Combatts With Publications—Leon Appal to Prejudices LITTLE Rock, August 5.—At last Arkansas is to soon have a chief executive who is void of sensationalism, and who will conduct the affairs of the State from the standpoint of a business man, and not that of a politician whose one idea is to constantly be in the limelight because of some indiscreet act or utterance. Not only do the business men of this State look forward with pleasure: to George W. Donagy becoming Governor, but the Negro citizens, who have also been victims of unnecessary verbal outbreaks during the past few years, note with pleasure that Arkansas is to have a conservative executive before long. The Governor-elect has just returned from a two months' trip to the different parts of the United States, during which he studied to qualify himself for the gubernatorial chair. Before coming to his home State Governor-elect Donagy was interviewed in-St. Louis, when he made the following statement: "When I am inaugurated Governor of Arkansas a new era will begin. There will be a cessation of demagogery and gold-headed cane combats with politicians, less appeal to the passions and prejudices of the people with an eye blind to commercial prosperity, and more conscientious and conservative study given to methods for the advancement of Arkansas," he said. "Arkansas has too long suffered under the yoke of political sensationalism, high-flow, oratory and misrepresentation of public affairs. The time has come when these things should be changed, and by a business administration of affairs the State can be brought into its right and proper place among the first commonwealths in all the land." Receiving the Democratic nomination for Governor over the bitter opposition of Senator Jeff Davis, and thus being assured of election to the office, Donaghy, who describes himself as a "carpenter from Conway, Ark," started out to fit himself for the office by studying conditions elsewhere. He says that his investigations have shown him that Arkansas excels all States in many things, while its commercial prosperity has been deterred by the Davis brand of sensationalism in politics. "I have been through a dozen States," said he. "I have looked carefully into the machinery of their revenue laws, their basis of wealth, clilaginic conditions, the amount of rainfall in each and their general commercial prosperity and contentment. In every State where there was, any advantage over Arkansas the advantage was limited to one or two counties. For instance, Colorado has a wonderful climate, sublime scenery and vast mineral wealth, but these cannot produce contentment of the people, because the wealth belongs to a few men. Lacking agricultural or livestock industries, the weal or woe of its 700,000 persons is dependent upon the inclination of the few to give them work. "In the eastern part of North Dakota I saw a magnificent country. The wheat fields are hundreds of miles in extent. Potatoes, flax and oats grow there in abundance, but they have only an average of fifteen inches in annual rainfall, and the only sure crops are those nurtured by irrigation. Then the long winters continuing for a solid six months, with the temperature falling to 40 and 50 degrees below zero, makes the climate one only for the hardy. "While at Cedar Rapids, in Iowa, I talked with a man who farmed land that cost $125 an acre. He had been in Arkansas and laughed saying we lacked progress. He described a Negro he had seen with a half-starved horse plowing a furrow with a single plaw. Both horse and Negro looked as though they might not reach the end of the furrow and cared little if they did not." "I recognized the force of his argument, but after reasoning with him, convinced him that the Arkansas Negro made 40 per cent, on his investment by his farming, while the more aggressive and modern Iowaan only realized 4 per cent on his."

Any man among them who is supposed to be at all favorable to the Negro is often tarned down. With this state of affairs in the South, the Negro is perfectly safe in taking his choice of the candidates presented by the two parties. He is not allowed a voice in. the nomination of either in some States South, and both bold the same . views “respecting his Nitical Fights. But in the North it is different. the Negro is recognized from start to finish. And there.is another dif- ference. In the South the mass of the est people afe Democrats. but in the | North the mass of the best le are Republicans. In xoting the Republican fctet in the North the Negro lines up with the best people and in support of the best measures. The National Demo- qatic Party, has always ‘been controlled by the pro-slavery and anti-Negro senti- went, and is still controlled by the same sentiment. This being the case, I re- peat. it is not the time for the Negro to vote for the national candidates of that party. T have a-fear that it would be a fatal blunder. ee It, will be remembered that the Negro made two great blunders in the State of North Carolina which were largely the ‘ause of his disfranchisement in that State. If the Negro had lined up with the best white people in that state and prohibition had adopted, largely by is vote’ in 1881, he would never have been disfranchised in that State. The men with whom ‘the better class of Negroes were allied would never have permitted the disfranchisement of the face if the mass had stood with them in that struggle. "I did all I could to persuade my people to take the wise course,” but many of the thoughtless Negro politicians said some very unkind things about all who favored prohibition, “Something behind it” was the slogan of the anti's. Qur people were made to believe that it was a step toward their reenslavement.

Dear Sir: .J have been surprised to find so many inaccuracies in: the few lines following. and explaining the cable reporting the fire at Per: au Prince and published in thsumorning’s Times Tam surprised, indeed: far the Times has always ken considered as a weil- informed paper. and perhaps more than any New York newpaper, has always assumed great _prete:itions to literature. knowledge of history. ‘¢tc. The reader, therefure, may take for granted any as- sertion made by such paper in reference to historical facts When a paper enjoys sich a reptta- tion deservedly or ne. it must be care- ful, Tthink, tH keep up its standard hy avoiding to publish any editorial note showing the ignorance of the writer or what To may call his Inck of scientitic probity. my The note [refer ta. as i reads, is in- tended te enlighten the public on con. diens in “The Blagk Republic” wth reference to hictorical facts, But the cuaiisions are misrepresented aml the histerical facts are distigured. I fail te se where the editor of’ the Times has learned that the palacé of, Port au Prince, the Senate and Court House are legacies of the French re- Rime. The ‘palace was buik by Presi dent Salomon, in 1881, the Senate is a frame building. erected under + Son- lauque’s administration. — The Court‘ House begun under Sam's administra tion was completed four years age. Ts that what the Times calls the Freach administration ? . AAs to the aqueduct built by the French, it makes one faux: who knows the fact, At the time of the French occupa- tion there was ne water distribution in the city nf Part-au Piince: even in the carly years of the republic, conditions remained the same.

All the aqueducts and reservoirs pf Turgean, Plesance and Leclerc. . the’ three main springs alimenting Port au Prince were built by Negro administra- ions. Tam at a loss to know what history he editor read that the “Negroes of Haiti. after having been liberated by the revolution, rese and murdered their former masters.” It is not fair to juggle with history as docs the whimsical mriter. who expresses his personal im- pression of, and gives his own inter- pretation to, incts observed in a certain ight or under the influence of certain prejudices. . ‘The historical truth should be respect= <A by’ a reliable paper. such as. the Times is supposed to be.

May Stannard Baker ts a master © the art of reporting. Elbert - Hubber: ie a master of the art of philosophizing ‘Mr. Baker, in his articles on the Neg problem, ‘now running in’ the America ‘Magazine, has given’ us” some of th ‘Dest reporting possible. He digs dee into ‘conditions, and turns up great far wows of facts. Only occasionally doe Ihe drop into philosophizing, and then i is compulsory, not ‘choice. But he re ports the facts so alluringly, so sug. gestingly of refection, that the reade himself is forced to philosophize. Wit him reporting facts is easy, natural— am art. It is the mainspring in“ his chronometer of genius. In the American Magazine for- Au vst, Mr. Baker says: “Washington's party is the party of the opportunist and ‘eptimist, which deals with the world as ie is; it is a constructive, practical cheerful party.” And then referring to the opponent’ of Dr. Washington, he ‘says: “The opposition is idealistic and Pessimistic, x party of agitation.” Ekbeit Hubbard recites a few facts, simply laying them down as a premisis; ‘sand then proceeds to philosophize, which he docx 20 well and so attrsctively thar the reader himself is impelled involun- tarily, and with eagerness, to make an excarsion to the fields of pastSetion ‘and present conditions for more and all the facts. With him philosophizing. is mataral, eaty and graceful. . Reporting facts with Mr. Hubbard is but a neces- ary means to an end; and the end— pkilosophizing. necessitates but a cursory Feference to facts. Tn the last issue of the “Littl Jour- meys to the Homes of Great Teachers.” Mr. Hubbard says: “As near as T can Jmdge, Booker Washington's most noisy qzitics are merely camp followers.” Here we have two masters in the realm of thought, two masters in the great field of doing, without consulta- tion, neither having even an intuition of what the other intends to write, agreeing | im their diagnosis of the critics of ibe greatest living Negro. While they start from different points arid touch different points; yet, ultimately, both arrive at the same terminal—the just measurement of a man, : | Mr. Baker says Washington is an op-| yortanist and an optimist, and that. his , >pponents are pessimistic agitators. Mr. | Hubbard says Washington's opposent | are but camp followers.. And everybody | knows that iram time immemorial camp | followers have heen pessimistic human bedies of misilirected activity. Washington's past is secure; his pres- ent is safe, and his future is beyond the Qazsarding of an interrogation. | SEGRU OFFICE HOLDERS. Once in a while from a few we' hear considerable objections being made to Negro office-holders. The race as a whole is ‘rightly proud of its rep- sesentatives in the National Govern- ment.

Notwithstand- ing all this it is strange how there are some Negroes ini America who have 30 far, lost their sénse of self-respect as to advocate that the Negro’ should hold up the hands of Gor. Haskell by voting for the Democratic party.

The writer has read with deep solici- tude and gratitication your timely edito- rial on the subject of ministers and bishops concerning themselves very much in polities, What you Hiave said on this subject agrees with the general sentiment of the black people in this classic city. -The writer, as well as many other members ofthe Zion Church, in this vicinity, have been die. cussing recently the question as to how it is and why it is that some of our bishop. seem to be spending all of their time in political work, when the Zion Church is, paying them for church work. Every timé.we see the name of some. of our bishops In print it ix in connection with some political work, and at the same time the poor people’ in the South are being Heavily taxed to pay these bishops a good salary. Your'sezibe, as well_as many other loyal Zionites, are not in favor of paying our bishaps to spend their time to turn the race over to the Democratic party.

It was but natural for the Colored Re- publicans to resent the insults, trickery and fraud perpetrated upon them by the galvanized Republicans who dominated the Chicago convention, but when one considers the record of the Democrate party he must ayimit that it is out of the question for the colored man to vote for Bryan. The “Jim Crow” laws of every Demo- cratic Siate, the exclusion from the jury of almost” every southern ‘court, the mockery of a fair trial before ‘every southern tribunal, all stand as brazen re- minders of the ‘eternal enmity of the Democracy toward. the Negro—Dallas (Texas) Express. All the talk heard in this hot weather about colored voters giving thet sup- porto, William Jennings Bryan is for political effect. There is nothing’ more substantial to. it than many other of the Democratic claims about great de- fection away from the Republican party.

Mr. Bryan is afraid to declare in favor of ‘the political equality of the Negro: he is afraid to demand a repeal oi the unfair election laws of the South. It would be political sui:ide for him to do so. He must either remain silent on this subject-or" approve the actions of his party, or else lose the sup- port of his party in the South.

A. to Mr. Bryan telegraphs a stone dental, places the bishop in a bad light and leaves him with a bunglesome burden of proof on his shoulders, from which the bishop has not as yet had time, or even been disposed to relieve himself. To these savory quotations a column of a religious paper gives prominent space. One more column of defense and the good prelate is done. His defense of his own action is to be, relief on in his judgment to furnish the reason for the race's "Proper Attitude" on national politics. He surely did not mean to be presumptional, unlike statement "I am deprived of the duty of suffrage in the South, largely because we have almost solidly voted with the Republican party." does not give the reason for our disfranchisement. The Democratic party in the South does not believe that the Negro is capable of exercising the rights of common citizenship. They care little or nothing about our political affiliations with any party, since all of their stale enactments are aimed rather at our citizenship than at our relationship to Republican principles. They do not believe in the Negro as a voter, and whatever way the Negroes of the North or West cast their political fortunes, the hope and destiny of the Negro of the South will not be changed by the Democratic party of the South. So while our race would gain nothing for the oppressed black brother in the South by supporting Democracy, it would surely augment the power of the heels of oppression, and place the Negro seal in unshamered section upon this franchisement as fostered by the Democratic party. A vote for Bryan means that we agree to the Democratic conception of black citizenship, and if the Negroes by such an act approve of this for their brother in the South it will be a nice way to invite the same procedure for other sections and all Negroes where Democracy is in power. Frederick Douglass said when so staunche a race friend and abolitionist as Horace Greeley, then editor of the great New York Tribune, was running for President against Grant in 1872, "The Republican party is the ship and all else is the sea." Greeley stood for all the rights of the Negro, and had badly championed the Republican party did, and the Negro supported Grant and the Republican party. Did we make a mistake? The Republican party has been the only bold champion of our rights since that time. The Republican party has not changed, but the Democratic party has grown steadily worse, has disfranchised us, jim-crowed us, and in every way humiliated and outraged us, and refuses even now to say a word in our defense in the national platform. In Billip Walters and a few others would take us bodily over to the Democratic party to reform it and thus teach our old friends, the Republican party, a lesson. The reforming is a colossal plan as the devastation and shedding of blood in a civil war failed to reform, to say nothing of the eminent illness of Negroes demanding a reform. The teaching is another ludicrous monstrosity as the Republican party taught us our first lessons as freemen, and is now teaching through the enunciation of its principles, good loyal citizenship, all principles, assuming a party and indeed is in harmony with the charitable sentiment, at least, which in all things should control the Bishop's judgment for him to positively state that the "soldiers were dismissed to placate that section of the country" (the South). The good Bishop indeed must feel that the whole country is obligated to him for giving the President's reason for his part in the troop affair—foragues have investigated. Congressional committees have formed a department of police have sought the why and, with every facility at their command they could not and did not conclude as did the Bishop, but gave an entirely different report. No American President would inflict such injustice upon a people, and would so far forget his oath as an administrator of justice and righteousness as to be actuated by such bids to issue an order which meant so much to the whole American army. The South did not demand the removal of the South soldier any more than did other sections, and the strong argument that he would even attempt to placate that section by such a grave act, when he could hope for no political and then from with this, neither the present candidate nor the party has to do. It is no argument why we should all turn Democrats because President Roosevelt evidenced a degree of high impartial statesmanship by being the Chief Executive of every section and of the whole people. He is not the President of parties but the President of the people. The bishop aroused that some should think it traitorous on his part in voting the Democratic ticket, but he has just as much right to vote the Democratic ticket without being abused, as the President has a right to exercise his authority, his granted privilege without being condemned as unjust by the bishop and his supporters. A man who does not want to be abused must not resort to abuse himself, and this is the whole of the bishop's argument—busing the President. The bishop indeed gives bad advice as a churchman when he tells us "to strike because we are filled with resentment." That may sound well but it is no reason at all that should fall from the lips of a wise leader. Great causes are not born in "memorandum" and great results are not achieved from such a littleness. Because we are angry no reason for an automatic ticket. Because the bell is in line. should vote the Democratic ticket. We cannot change the political composition of the whole race simply because the bishop is filled with "resident" any more than the good bishop allows himself to be controlled by his "residents" when appointing his ministers to charge. We cannot push this race, this growing race, this comparative black man to the urge of the majority, this transformation of society is need. It does not require, bishop, very much courage now to be a Democrat and therefore we need not fear to break the criticism. It is the stamina Republican Negro who is being abused, ridiculated and read out of the race, by a horde of howlers, whose only argument is abuse. Encourage for his statements. I want to say that Bishop Walters does not represent the Zion Church in his recent Democratic wooing. He alone of all the "Star of Zion" is the actual church of the church, supported by the church, and the church expresses its views, not in the personal opinions of its experimental editor, who would render the church better service by publishing the number of converts we have had to the Christian religion—which he refuses to do—rather than seeking to convert the black man to affiliate with his political enemy; but its views are heard from its corrections, pressed by the field, who have to for the best political conditions to act in this country that they might be prosperous and who are paid, not from general funds, but earn their living by the "sweat of their brows." Zion Church is not Democratic. Dancy, who has been our political spokesman for over a quarter of a century; Bishop Hood, who comes down to us bringing the fire and inspiration of Phillipa. Livejoy, Lincoln and John Brown; Bishop Clinton, whose sound and political leadership everywhere, who is Bishop Caldwell, who now is aroused to the formation of Republican leagues in all sections that the race might be saved from damaging, dangerous, radical leadership—these are the men who will speak for conservative Zion Methodism. BISHOP CLINTON FOR TAFT Bishop George W. Clinton of North Carolina speaks Out in Favor of Judge Taft. The following are extracts from a letter recently printed in the Star of Zion. Bishop George W. Clinton gives sound advice: ... Whatever of greatness has come to the country through government, whatever of freedom and opportunity have com, to the Negro as a man, as a citizen, have come through the government while in the hands of the Republican party. If the Negro still retains his citizenship and the privilege to exercise the franchise anywhere in the United States, and constitutional rights in every State of the Union; the Republican party alone is responsible for such privileges and rights. Born at a time when the nation was threatened with dismemberment and when slavery had become so arrogant and aggressive that it would demoralize the whole country, by making slave hunting in a free State a thing as common as fox chasing in hunting season in the Sunny South, the Republican party saved the nation, freed a race and made human chattel, freeman and citizen. Once the sword of Grant and the pen of Lincoln decreed that the nation should be a free nation, and its States an indivisible Union governed by a constitution that offered equal citizenship, and a fair franchise to all regardless of race or creed, the Democratic party has been the opposition or negative force to every progressive movement which was designed to benefit the whole people. If the Negro is not enjoying the franchise, if he is here and there "Jim Crow" is where proscribed politically and handicapped in the enjoyment of his civil rights, it is due to the Democratic party. If he is maligned, underrated, dealt with unfairly in matters where even the biased constitutions of their own making promise better things, the Democratic party is accountable for it. That has been its past history and its present national platform offers nothing substantially better. 'So much for the parties. What about the candidates?' Mr. Taft is the son of one of the nation's eminent and useful characters. The son has become more distinguished and useful than was his father. A born Republican, he has strictly adhered to the Constitution and stands for square to-day upon a Republican platform which is creditable alike to the party and the candidate. As a trial man of achievement in many spheres which required the best type of statesmanship, diplomacy, tact and good judgment, he has but one peer in the country to day, and even that one man has not been tried in so many spheres as Mr. Taft has upon to do business for his country. To every place to which he has come he has been sought and urged to accept it, and when in it he has given the best and most acceptable service. It seems to me that if colored voters are to be influenced by the two considerations that should ever hold a foremost place in the minds of capable citizens, viz., the men of capable best adapted men and the measures made by the largest number of people, there is little doubt of Mr. Taft's election to the Presidency on the first Tuesday in November, 1908.

W PAYNE or and Manager FR-FM for Certification LOSTER A WALTON THE PROGS "It is doubtful if ever an organization composed of colored citizens attracted such widespread attention as has the Frogs in the past week. Less than seven days ago only a small portion of the New Yorkers and a few outside of the Empire State knew of the existence of such a club, but to-day it is known far and wide, due to the refusal of Justice Goff to approve of the organization's incorporation and the zeal displayed by the daily papers in making known just what they thought of the Judge for adopting such a course." One of the most interesting features of the incident has been the question raised by the editors of the daily papers as to the Judge's knowledge of Grecian history. All agree that Justice Goff has probably forgotten his Greek, or he would not have refused the Frogs articles of incorporation. As to whether the learned Judge ever knew any Greek or whether he has forgotten it, is not a matter for the writer to discuss. He will leave it to the editors of the daily papers. However, it can not be denied that Frogs had something to do with Grecian history, and that is one of the reasons the organization was given the name of the Frogs In denying the application for incorporation, Justice Goff held that art and frogs did not go together. Said he: "The corporate name selected is so incongruous that I hesitate to cement the connection between the sublime and the grotesque." Regarding his decision many of the large daily papers have seen fit to express themselves, among which were the New York Tribune, New York World, New York Evening Sun, Brooklyn Eagle and the New Haven Register. In an editorial the New York Tribune said: Justice Goff's ruling against "The Frogs" does violence to custom. His honor refuses to approve the incorporation of an organization of negro actors on the ground that "the corporate name selected (The Frogs) is so incongruous that I hesitate to cement the connection between the sublime and the ridiculous." Tradition has never protested against such unintentions. The courts have repeatedly baffled gold-gibbler concerns with the most somber and totalistic Why, then may they be a reputable social club assume a ridiculous humble title? Remarked the New York World in an editorial on "Art and Frogs": Clubs must no longer masquerade under frivolous jokes. American htmn should stop somewhere, and right here is the point. "The Lambs" will collectively cease to gambol. "The Lotos" indicates idle dreaming and must be discarded. "The Sphinx" is immoral, since it emphasizes a desire to conceal presumably unlawful doings. "The Schnorrer" Club should be frowned upon by every jurist who understands German slang. There is certainly no connection between Greek letters and social purposes or ludian names and political views. Throw out the Delta Pis, the Tuscarora—even Tammany itself. Justice Goff should walk warily. Frogs are not to be maligned with impunity. There is an Assopian fable which reveals them in a well-organized union which knew how to demand its rights. When King Log was not satisfactory they struck and obtained King Stork. Aristophanes gave a play to them. Presumably they will be represented in Coqueline's new drama of the barnyard. The wisdom of the ages hides behind the frog's round full eyes. He mimics it in a place at Minerva's side as is the owl. In the editorial written by the editor of the New York Sun, under the caption "His Honor and the Frogs," the writer dwells at length on Justice Goff having forgotten his Greek: Is it any part of the duty of the courts, asks the Sun, to keep people from making themselves ridiculous? If the pursuit of happiness leads them to band together under the name of the order of Hoo-Hoos, or Buffaloes, or what you will, why should the strong arm of the law be interposed? asks the Sun. So when certain persons desired to promote art, science, literature, music, or the like, by calling themselves the Frogs", his honor, Mr. Justice Goff, of the Supreme Court, refused his consent. The ghosts of Euripides, the most popular dramatist of his time, and Socrates, very ill moral philosopher, the same period, would delighted with his honor's remark, "What earthly or other relation is there between Frogs", the proposed corporate name, and the noble pursuits of the corporation? For, even in hell, or hades, it is conceivable that these are still sore on account of the exceedingly ungentlemanly behavior of Aphidopanes toward them in the case of his torgotten. On the other hand, it must not be overlooked that there are two theories of judicial knowledge. According to one, the company of the backroom to the court nothing; According to the other, he is supposed to know everything. The old-fashioned and the new-fashioned view. Now, suppose that his honor being old-fashioned, and having the judicial spirit, was willing to be suspected of having forgotten his Greek, in order to be absolutely correct in his attitude. He might consider the day lost on which he had not read a few pages of Sophocles, Aeschylus, Euripides or Ariastophanes before he went to bed, yet the fact remained that the "relation between the purpose and the title" had not been plainly indicated "in a fair and reasonable manner" in the petition. Indeed, for judicial purposes, Aristophanes might be said to have had no existence for his honor under the circumstances. It is just as if somebody were to mention Longacre Square or Joseph H. Chateau in the course of a case, and the Court were to inquire, "Why is Longacre square?" or What is a choate? The king is the choate in the New Haven Register, under the heading "The Wide Break From Aristophanes to Goff." Aristophanes lived in the fifth century before Christ, and in ancient Greece. That is well back and far away. In his days the art of comedy was young and crude, so he dared to be as funny and he could. The people of his time thought he was funny, but of course, they were immature judges. Not a few since his time have presumed to think him funny, but there is no accounting for the worship of dead languages. Aristophanes wrote plays, and one of his comedies was "The Frogs." Those archaic persons were in ancient Greece in one of the lost digamma and other things have occasionally run across it. It was a first-prize production in its day, but that was long ago. Incidentally, its frog chorus has been preserved in a hall of fame with a frame of blue, but many persons have overlooked or forgotten its origin. John W. Goff is now a justice of the New York Supreme Court. He came more frequently into brush with the public when he was Recorder Goff, being best known as presiding judge at the Lexow investigation; back when the hunt for civic corruption began. He is a man of the twentieth century, a practical man. He has no time to bother with what happened 2,300 years ago. He is better acquainted, apparently, with George M. Cohen than he is with Aristophanes. In short there is a wide break between Aristophanes and Goff. This habit might not have been so apparent but for a recent happening. Some theatrical gentlemen of New York sought to incorporate a social organization under the name of "The Frogs" and in the course of events came before Justice Goff in the Supreme Court for legal permission. The justice refused, not in severity, but in regret. To his mind the "corporate name" elected to its nomination. And in remembering what that question "What earthly or other existence is there between Frogs," the proposed corporate name, and the male parent of the corporation? Bert A. Williams and the others who were promoting the organization didn't bother to tell him. They folded their application papers as the Arabs (or their tents, and similarly stole away.) Justice Goff has found out many things, but he has missed a few. Busy with life's serious things, he has never enjoyed one of the most delicious bits of comedy of the ages. Having no use for college frivolities, he perhaps has never heard and certainly has never inquired the reason for the famous "Brek-kek-kek-kek" which has made Yale famous. But he is an earnest man, with a great regard for the congruities of the stage. Too late it appears that the founders of the New Theatre made a great mistake in not securing so discerning a dramatic critic for its director. As the writer stated above, he will not question the knowledge of Justice Goff on Grecian history, but will permit the daily papers to fathom that point at issue. But there is one question the writer is going to raise, and that is, the Judge's knowledge of colored people, and what they know about art. It could be possible that it was not the combination of art and frogs that appeared so incongruous to the learned Judge as it was the combination of the Negro and art. One reason for making such an assertion is, because Justice Goff established a precedent when he refused to grant incorporation papers. That is why many of the daily papers have seen fit to take up the discussion. When we consider that such organizations have been incorporated as the "White Rats," the "White Mice," both theatrical organizations; the Owls, the Eagles and many other bodies, formed with a view to promoting art, it is about time to ask if the learned Judge is aware of the relationship between the Negro and art? For if the "White Rats" and other organizations of similar names, can get incorporation papers, why not the Frogs? It is possible that the application was denied because Justice Goff saw on the application the names of several prominent Negro comedians, it was also seen these comedians and laughed them heartily; so heartily that when he saw their names he could not see into their desire to promote art, literature, music, science, and the liberal arts. Of course, it might have been different with white comedians, but to take a colored comedian seriously—never! So, if Justice Goff is ignorant of the relationship between the Negro and art, it does not hesitate anything unusual. How many whites really know the Negro and his home. If this same Justice would visit the homes of the incorporators named in the application the writer believes there would be one member of the bench who would not think of the grotesque whenever a Negro was mentioned; he would find in these homes libraries—not in name only, but in real life—which is not doing show duty, but serving a practical purpose; for the owners are reading every book. That is why they have started an interesting question in the newspapers on "Has Justice Goff Forgotten His Greek?" BANDAHA LAND OPENS. Large Company with headquarters of incorporation. ATLANTIC CITY, August 4.—Williams and Walker opened here Monday at the Savoy Theatre in their last season's success. Banдана Land, inaugurating the well-known summer resort is a very lively spot just now, and the company is doing a large business; Instead of playing Washington next week, as had been originally planned, the company goes to Baltimore, and will appear at the Academy. Owing to problems with the management of the Belasco Theatre in Washington feared getting into by playing "Banдана Land," it was thought best ments filed, is under the work of drafts been intrusted to a is to do its work of The attitude of the been Catholic and oppressed members (especially Smoot and Roy) have felt their respon to the soundness of its print quality of its remedial land for many years, about such legisties that will achieve for some will be appreciated for all the couragement that in the conscientious It is often a question to the writer just who loses the more, the white man by his ignorance of the real condition of the Negro, or the latter, who is oftimes put to a disadvantage by the former's ignorance of true conditions. In the case of the Frogs, it is the white man's loss, for no higher court will uphold a Judge who refused to grant an incorporation because he did not personally like a name. A Judge is not supposed to inject his likes or dislikes into a case, but is supposed to adjudicate matters according to law. So after the Frogs are granted incorporation papers in the Appellate Court, it will be Justice Goff's misfortune if he is yet ignorant of the Negro's real condition at home. Despite the ruling of Justice Goff the members of the Frogs are busily engaged in planning to have the finest clubhouse in America, conducted by a Negro organization. That they are in earnest in their endeavors, will not be doubted when it can be stated with authenticity that a clubhouse has already been purchased at 111 West 132d street, a large, ten-room structure, which is said to be the finest in the block, for $14,000. Last Friday evening, the day after Justice Goff's decision, the members met at Reisenweber's, Fifty-eighth street and Eighth avenue, as the guest of Bert A. Williams, and in record-breaking time raised a large sum of money, which was deposited the next day with the owner of the property who, in turn, deeded the house to the club. The sale was effected by the real estate firm of Nail & Parker. The meeting at Reisenweber's, during which luncheon was served, the members individually pledged themselves to render financial aid to the club to the amount of several thousand dollars. Those present were: Bert A. Williams, George W. Walker, Bob Cole, J. Rosamond Johnson, Jesse A. Shipp, Tom Brown, Alex. Rogers, R. C. McPherson, Sam Corker, Jr., J. R. Europe and the writer. Although the club has been organized less than two months, it has made greater progress than any similar organization in New York. The membership is not composed exclusively of performers or those connected with the theatrical profession. Applications are already on file from prominent professional and business men of New York and Philadelphia, but there will be no new members accepted until the club moves into its large and palatial home. It is probable that even Justice GF Frogz see the connection between frogs and worms is better - Nexroos and art - should he visit the clubhouse within a few months. Extensive preparations are being made for the "Brocile of the Frogz" which takes place on the evening of August 17 at Manhattan Casino. VAEDEVILLE AT PEKIN. Future, Policy of House to Be Soon Determined by Robert T. Motts. Cincinnati, August 5—Vancouver is now building a sway in the Pekin Theatre, as the management has decided to discipline the use of the moving pictures and talking machines which have been the attraction all summer. Kohl, T.M. Motts, proprietor of the Pekin Theatre has been in Hot Springs, Ark. for several weeks. Until his return the future policy of the house will not be determined. Of the five cent theatres are doing a big business here, and a large number of colored singers and dancers are being employed. ACTORS TURN POLITICIANS. Billy Johnson, W. H. Smith and Others Now Members of Independent League. Citigao, August 5—Hard times is said to be responsible for several well-known performers becoming prominently identified with the Independence League in this city. During the big convention of the new Hearst party it was noticeable that several of the State street actors were conspicuous by their even John Temple Graves and other anti-Negro politicians were present. It is said that even the former firecracking editor from Georgia has consented to suffer for a short time, at least, the humiliation of political equality. Probably his short residence in New York and the fact that he knows that the colored voters wield a great political influence in Chicago brought about such a decided change in John Temple Graves. Anyhow, Billy Johnson, who was one of the stars of Cole and Johnson when "A Trip, to Coontown" was making money, and W. H. Smith, who is now managing the Pekin Theatre, and who was at the head of the Dunbar Theatre during its short run last spring in Columbus, are two of the leaders of the black followers of the Independence party. At a mass meeting held last week it is said that Billy Johnson made a speech that rivaled any heard at the Republican convention recently held here. It was so dramatic that many shed tears. Of course they did not know what they were crying about, but some claims they were deeply touched before leaving. Just how they were touched is not made clear, but it is generally known that a collection was taken up to aid the new party in its war against the trusts and other unlawful business combine. Billy Johnson, W. H. Smith and the other performers now members of the new party do not contemplate going over the big vaudeville circuit, the Stair and Havlin circuit, the Shubbert circuit or the Klaw and Erlanger circuit they can afford to talk against combines and trusts. of Organization ATLANTIC CITY, August 4—Williams and Waller opened here Monday at the Savoy theatre in their last season's movie "Batman." The theatrical season of 1988-89. The well-known summer resort is a very lively spot just now, and the company is doing a large business. Instead of playing Washington next week, as had been originally planned, the company goes to Baltimore, and will appear at the Academy. Owing to problem of the equipment of the Belasco, Theatre in Washington feared getting into by playing "Bandanna Land"; it was thought best to cancel the engagement. According to reports the theatre does not cater to colored patrons to any great extent, and the theater is not operated by ordered clientele it was agreed not to assume any possible risks of law suits. With the Williams and Walker company this season are the following well-known persons: Bert A. Williams, George W. Walker, Jesse A. Shipp, Alex Rogers, Henry Troy, Arthur Payne, Charles Moore, Mat Housley, Holley M. Allen, M. Mores, C. H. Hall J. M. Thomas, B. Guillaume, Lloyd Gibbs, James Lightfoot, J. P. Reed, F. B.

Tom Logan, who was stage manager and one of the principals in the Smart Set company last season, is seriously ill at his home. 142 West 25th street. It is necessary for him to have medical attendance constantly. Several weeks, ago the well-known program was reported on at the Macy's Hospital in Philadelphia by Dr. Algeon Jackson. The operation was successful, but the patient's heart began to fail him, which is the cause of his serious illness. Cole and Johnson will open the season in their new play, "The Red Moon," August 31, out of town. At the Lincoln Square Theatre, Broadway and 66th street, they will make their New York appearance September 7. The company is rehearsing at Columbus avenue and Johnstreet. COOKS ARE DIVORCED Singer and Musical Director Legally Separated. Abbie Mitchell Cook has been awarded a degree of divorce from Will Marion Cook, musical director of the Williams and Walker company. The company agreed to the disposition of the child in a court. Abbie Mitchell Cook, who will be known as Mitchell Cook, the Will Marion Cook, the musical director of the time after the Beat, she is living with the Coke and Lemon company. She is living in the Coke and Lemon company. Domestic life has been the Coke and Lemon not been the most pleasant for years, and the legal opinion is expected. Theatrical Jottings. The Birth is an arc of Keith and Procter's 18th Street Theatre. Harry B. British and wife have returned from their trip abroad. Clao D. Sneed is to succeed Abbie Mitchell in the Memphis Students. Nick Feldman is busy making stage costumes for the male members of the Cole and Johnson company. Walter B. Petty has returned from an extended tour through the South. He is singing in the principal cities of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. He expects to give several recitals in Manhattan. There is no question of the Memphis Students making good in vaudeville. They continue the reign supreme at Hammond Theater and despite the Salome dance and other big features this well known musical organization is more than holding its own. The Frank B. Williams Music Club of Boston held a well attended meeting last Thursday evening at the organization's rooms on Hampton street. W. H. C. Smith read an interesting paper "The Mind's Operation on Music," and Miss Ida Taylor sang several vocal selections. Sam King, of the vaudeville team of King and King, is seriously ill. It is probable he will not be able to appear in public again. Several days ago he was taken ill with a slight attack of pottium poisoning. He was recovering from the effects of the poison, when on July 20 he was stricken with paralysis which affected his speech and several parts of his body. Sylvester Russel has engaged in a series of exclusive summer song recitals. His tour will include Chaundaquake Lake, N. Y.; Bedford Springs, Eagles Mere and Delaware Water Gap, Pa. After a visit to his home in Orange, N. J., and New York in August he will resume his magazine publication for the winter. Regarding his future services as a stage-critic for newspapers, he says he has no plans at present. GIVE COMPOSER PERCENTAGE. Way to Reconcilate Composer and Producer of "Connected" Music. The devoted and patient labor of the joint commission on patents of the two houses of Congress in their effort to frame a satisfactory copyright bill—a now extended over three years—bids for attention at the short session of Congress next winter. The testimony either in addresses at public hearings or in docu- menta filed, is substantially all in, and the work of drafting a final bill has been intrusted to a sub-committee which is to do its work during the vacation. The attitude of the committee has been catholic and open minded, and the members (especially the chairmen, 'Senator Smoot and Representative Currier) have felt their responsibility in framing a new act which shall become, by the soundness of its principles and the adequacy of its remedies, the law of the law for many years to come. In bringing about such a change in the committee will achieve for themselves orable reputation of the sort that compensates for all the toil and cynical discouragement that invest the daily work of the conscious legislator. The chief stumbling black has been the inability to reconcile the interests of composers and of those engaged in the reproduction of music by mechanical means. After the latter had fought vigorously the plain ethical principle involved—that a composer is entitled to compensation for all commercial use of his music—suddenly, at the last moment of the hearings, with a candor that in the circumstances does them great credit, they acknowledged the main contention, including only for an equal chance at the only imputed reward. So a bill has been introduced by Mr. Washburn, of Massachusetts, recognizing the right, and endeavoring to meet the difficulty by providing that any piece of music so reproduced by one manufacturing company may be reproduced by any other on the payment to the composer of a percentage, as yet undetermined in the bill. This seems on the face of it the fairest of fair play. But we greatly mistake the situation if the practical working out of the idea does not create more difficulties than it cures. 'Has the law ever before addressed itself to the providing of business for any private branch of commerce?' Opportunities of business, yes; but not even in the tariff or the Interstate Commerce law has the principle been laid down that one shall not sell or refuse to sell his wares as he may choose. Would it 'establish a principle of equality to compel a livery stable keeper to let his horses at the same rate to any one who comes?' Is it wise that Congress should undertake to regulate private business, by fixing a percentage of profit, which may be too high one year and too low the next? And by what complicated and expensive machinery analogous to the internal revenue service will Congress supervise the exercise of the new right it is designed to confer? Why should not this right be analogous to all other rights possessed in copyright property—a multitude in kind—and the operation 'of the law he left to the simple law of contract?' The principle of "common carrier"—the right of any one to be served and at the rate of any other—is certainly not applicable here. It is the pure and simple principle of property, the essence of which is the right not to sell. Century. Cook-Mason Nuptials Corona L. Mason is the daughter of Charles R. P.

Masters Algernon, Girard and Percival Jacobs, sons of Dr. F. M. Jacobs and John Gore, Brooklyn, near Fulham, were the guests of Miss Beatrice Alice-Emmons, of 558 South street, Jamaica, N. Y.

Russell Emmons for the sim The various organizations of Brooklyn met last Tuesday evening at the Concord Baptist Church for the purpose of organizing a general committee to celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation, January 1, 1909. The exercises last year, which were held at the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, under the auspices of the combined organizations, were most elaborate. There was a street parade composed of over fifteen hundred men, women and children which preceded the main exercises held at the church. The idea of perpetuating the day originated in the mind of Mr. William C. Henry, a veteran son of North Carolina, and an old and active politician in Judge Brenner's district. So enthusiastic was Mr. Henry, over the occasion that he contributed the immense wreath which was placed as a token of gratitude on the statue of Henry Ward Beecher, which wreath caused considerable comment and was the admiration of all who saw it. Mr. Henry was also chauman of the committee to whose tion last year is due. The coming celebration promises to eclipse former occasions. The pupils of the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church was filled last Sunday morning by the Presiding Elder, Rev H. H. Pinckney, who preached an eloquent sermon to an appreciative congregation. Dr. G. L. P. Talafero, pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church of Philadelphia and editor of the Christian Banner, the leading weekly organ of the Baptist denomination, preached a most thoughtful and instructive sermon at the Berean Baptist Church last Sunday morning. Revival services are still in progress at the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Classon avenue, near Atlantic. There have been four conversions. The tent services which are being conducted at the Neuman Memorial Church continue to awaken interest and attract large gatherings. Last Sunday the pastor, Mary Wilson, preached and in the evening the pastor, Rev. W. A. T. Miles, preached an interesting sermon from Ecclesiastes, third chapter, 13th and 14th verses, theme, "The Chief Good." Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, of 769 Fulton street, Brooklyn, are visiting Ashbury Park for the summer. Mrs. Johnson before returning will visit Seabright, N. J. Mrs. Jennie S. Potter and daughter, Miss Adella Potter, and Mr. Edward Elly were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Walter V. Goode, 278 Bergen street, Brooklyn. They are the aunt and cousins, respectively, of Mr. W. V. Goode. Their stay was from July 29 to Aug. 1. Mrs. Elizabeth T. Bunn, an inmate of the Home for Aged Colored People, is seriously ill at that institution. Mrs. Bunn lived in Brooklyn over fifty years. For over forty years she was a consistent member of Siloam Presbytery, closing years on her life have been spent in the Christian Science faith. Mrs. Bunn is in her nineteenth year. The lawn party given last Friday evening by the First Aid Society for the benefit of the Day Nursery at the Y. M. C. A. was a pleasant affair. Bronx Items. The Misses Mabel and Clara Thompson, of Mamaroneck, N. Y., nieces of Mr. J. H. Thompson, of 1094 Brook avenue, are visiting their uncle for two weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Allen, of 1012 Brook avenue, celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary on Thursday, the 30th of July, with a children's party in the afternoon, and had an adults' reception in the evening. Refreshments were served and games played, all of which helped to enhance the pleasures of the evening. A nine-pound boy was left by the stork at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Washington, 994 Brook avenue, Monday morning, August 3. The executive committee of the British Colonial Society, several of whose members reside in the Bronx, met at the residence of the secretary, Mr. T. E. Montouth, 320 Mott avenue, to take final steps to properly advertise their annual summer night's festival, which will take place at Manhattan Casino, September 11. Epworth M. E. Church is about the only church in the Bronx which keeps alive the practice of meeting for a 6 o'clock prayer meeting. Sunday evening, August 9, will be communion at the Epworth M. E. Church, 367 East 158th street, Rev. C. W. Winder, pastor. The sermon will be preached by Rev. J. G. Hainey. An invitation is extended to all. Mr. and Mrs. A. W.

Curry, pastor, there was a good attendance last Sunday. The pastor preached two strong sermons. The Tabernacle has a fine organ and choir, but was unfortunate m losing for a time the services of their organist. sie is again a feature. Dr. B. R. G. Clifton, rector of St. David's, jeths street, near Metrose avenue, continues to improve nicety, and is able to attend all his services. This will be good news to the many friends of the doctor, as it is entirely through his efforts and sacrifice that St. David's has reached its present high plane of religious influence in the Bronx. It is the largest church and congregation of color in this end of the Greater City, and when finished will possibly have the largest auditorium, so far as the Episcopal churches of color in New York are concerned. There are several nice, quiet, respectable locations where our people have obtained a foothold lately. On Mott avenue, Morris avenue, Courtland avenue and Melrose avenue they now reside, besides the cross streets between sections of these avenues. One year ago Brook avenue was also "quiet," but now it is almost impossible to get any sleep after 12 o'clock at night. The rattle of milk and other wagons over the newlylaid "obcible" is incessant, and especially so since not being a hospital, the drivers do not walk their horses. Mrs. Janie Robertson, Miss Lizzie Titus and Miss Pearl Jackson spent Sunday last visiting friends in Red Bank, N. J. During the hot days of last week several parties made the trip to Coney Island and Dreamland.

Dedication of Massone—Dr. Washington Visita Boston—Outing of Sun and Red Club—Sons of North Carolina—Other Notes Boston, August 4—An incident, which in itself may appear to some as commonplace and of passing importance, but to others in view of the fact that the principal is a well-known representative of a distinct race at a national institution, it is regarded more seriously and of possessing even some racial significance. Harvard Negro students from the days of Richard T. Greener, 70, exconsul to Vladivostok, have enjoyed a singularly high reputation for honesty, manliness and moral character and this has redounded in no small and unmeaning way to their later successes and to their race's credit. Their conduct at America's highest and greatest educational institution has thus been a racial asset. It has been the proud boast of colored Harvard men, in contradistinction to white Harvard men, that no one of their number while in college has ever been fined nor sentenced in a court of law. Among these exemplary negro students, none has been more gentlemanly and circumspic in his department than Mr. D. A. MacSterling, born in Kingston, Jamaica, a graduate of Andover Academy and a scholarship man at Harvard for the last two years. During the summers he has employed the work in the mailroom and district. These facts account for the unusual stir among Boston townspoople and the keen interest in college circles over the arrest last Wednesday of Mr. MacSterling for fraudulently obtaining a street railway transfer. Safe it is to say that neither in Mississippi or in the mediaeval period has any man's good name been more truly the victim of a summary and high-handed court procedure than this same honest and solendid student. Arrested on suspicion by an officer who admitted that he saw his victim then for the first time; confronted by the transfer agent from whom the transfer was thought to have been taken, and who denied giving him any, the collegian, protesting he had no ticket was along the stationhouse. There was searched and made otherwise miserable until bailed by his friend and guardian, Mr Wm. F. Brennan, the wealthy Boston pickle merchant. When brought to trial, Mr. MacSterling, despite the advice of his friends to plead guilty, refused to do so. The transfer man, a Mr. Gilbert, again denied giving him the transfer agent accused grudgingly and readily questions put to him, and Mr. Brennan testified, fully and satisfactorily as to the defendant's high character. The only two government witnesses, are arresting lawyer and another transfer agent on duty across the street at the time, made directly opposite and conflicting statements, and the prosecuting attorney for the company "washed his hands" completely of the prosecution, in order not to commit the company. At the conclusion of the trial, Judge Almy stated that according to the evidence he had no doubt of the young man's veracity, but the judge continued that young men are prone to the above trick, and he would have to fine, the defendant $10 in order to make an example of him. Thus was the unsold reputation of a clean and ambitions young man sacrificed for the offense of the court. The Boston dailies did not make note of Mr. MacSterling's appeal, but the case will be thoroughly tried before a Superior Court jury in September. One of the largest and most impressive dedications of recent years was held in the new lodge room in G. A. R. Hall on Massachusetts avenue, Cambridge, by Mount Moriah Lodge, F. & A. M. M. The elaborate services were conducted by the Most Worshipful Prince Hall, Grand Lodge, F. & A. M., of Massachusetts. William Lloyd Marshall, M. W. Grand Myster, and nearly two hundred of the colored craftsmen from Cambridge, Boston and other cities in the State, were present, and participated. The beautiful and spacious quarters which Mt. Moriah now occupies consists of the entire top floor, and is fitted with convenient ante-rooms, banquet, kitchen, locker and toilet rooms. The officers of the lodge are: Walter J. Stevens, W. M.; Z. B. Burwell, S. W.; George W. Lewis, J. W.; T. P. Harrison, treasurer; William H. Wilson, secretary; Horace I. Gray, S. D.; Frederick Moore, J. D.; William Russell, S. S.; Pell Williams, J. S.; Daniel Milligan, Chap.; William A. Dent, marshall; Bristol Moriah, tyler. The past masters of Mt. Moriah, seven of whom are in the Grand Lodge and one is the present D. G.

Kellogg, Daniel H. Milligan, B. A. Smith, Samuel Tascio, Richard Gordon, Past Master Jeremiah N. Kellogg being the first and oldest past master of the lodge, Past Master Benjamin C. Hazel being past grand secretary of Prince Hall Grand Lodge The exercises in brief consisted of the singing of the hymn, "Holy, Holy, Holy!" by the craftsmen, the organist being Charles Alexander, the worthiful grand assistant organist. This was followed with a prayer by the grand chapain, Rev. Solomon Carrington, of Malden. The hymn, "Thou who art God," was next sung by the craftsmen; and then P. M. Benjamin G. Hazel, as architect, surpassed in the e working tools to the grand marshal. The grand master then divorced the grand marshal to present them, respectively to Deputy Grand Master Robert T. Teacham, Nielson P. Wentworth, senior grand warden; Edward E. Brown, junior grand warden. While these officers were making application of the tools, the hymn "Hall Universal Lord" was sung by the craftsmen. The grand officers returning and reporting that they had made application of the tools to the hall, found that the craftsmen had done their duty. The second part of the exercises included the libations of corn by Edward Everett Brown, J. G. W.; to wine, by S. G. W., Nelson P. Wentworth, and that of oil by Robert T. Teamok D. G. M., directed by William Lloyd Marsh, M. W. G. M., and followed by a prayer by Rev. Solomon Carrington, W. G. C. The grand master declared the hall dedicated to freemasonry, virtue and universal benevolence, and the same was proclaimed by the grand marshal. After addresses had been made by the grand master, Deputy Grand Master Frederic S. Monroe, R. W. G.; C. Past Grand Secretary Benjamin C. Hazel, District Deputy Grand Master Joseph D. Angustine and Worshipful Master Walter J. Stevens, the bless "Hymn of the Tie," was sung, and he beamed with delight by Rev. Dr. Edward Sylvester Hatton, junior grand chaplain. The grand lodge retired, after which the worshipful master closed. Mt. Moriah Lodge and the craftsmen were served with a collation." Dr. W. Washington in Boston.

The investigating committee of the Georgia Legislature which is inquiring into convict-camp conditions is eliciting testimony which should have careful consideration in every State which leases the labor of prisoners. For Georgia the system is believed to be doomed. Tales are told on oath of many brutal beating events even to the death; of sick prisoners who have died if disciplined or conditions vile that a prisoner with a broken leg when sent to something-called a hospital died of the rotting of the limb; of beds washed once a year, and tasks too great for any strength. There would be no convict-lease system in any State of the South if it were not that most of the prisoners are colored. But slavery under the humanity of the average planter was merciful compared to the conditions of the prison dugge, whose crimes may symbolize his helplessness, not even the lash and rife of the convict-camp guards. At its best the system invites abuses. At its worst it is infamous.—New York World.
