THE NEW YORK AGE. Negroes Have Secured Over 1,000 Patents Since Civil War SURPRISE TO MANY The Records in Washington Do Not Disclose Omes Nationality When a Patent is Secured SOME NOTABLE CASES Recent investigation at Washington has disclosed the information that many Ne roes have been granted patents as investors in forty years and that some of them have become wealthy. A short time ago a writer inquired of the Brooklyn Times if an invention had been made by a Negro in this or any other country. In behalf of the Times Henry E. Baker, the only Negro who is an assistant examiner of patents in the Patent Office, prepared some interesting figures showing the development of the American Negro as an inventor. These figures, the accumulation of which Baker began years ago, have been difficult to get for the reasons that the Patent Office keeps no record of the color of a man who applies for and is granted a patent. Through the personal correspondence of Baker with patent attorneys and others, and through a circular letter sent out to the same class of people by the Patent Office some years ago, most of the information has been acquired. Since the United State Patent Office was established in 1790, something like 500,000 patents have been granted on various devices, the bulk of which have had extensive use or even use at all. Out of this number Baker is positive that at least 1,000 of the patents have been verified by the government. It is verified the authorship of that number as belonging to the Negro race. He thinks there have been many more and says that many Negroes who made devices patented by the government have refused to officially or otherwise give their color, fearing that it would affect the commercial value of the inventions. It is a singular fact that until after the close of the Civil War, and the granting of freedom to the Negro, the United State Government refused to issue patents to Negroes. The inventive progress of Negro, the Negro, had barely forty years. A patent is a contract between the inventor and the Government, and the courts held for many years that a slave could not enter into a contract of any kind. There is a record in the Patent Office of the granting of a patent to Harry Blair, "a man of color," dated back in 1834, but Blair was evidently a free man or the patent would not have been granted. The question, years later, out for number of years, but the Negro was always deprived of patent rights. Even during the Civil War a valuable device patented by a Negro named Montgomery, whose son, now holds a clerkship in the Treasury Department of this city, was refused a patent. A peculiar fact is that his man had been a slave of Jefferson Davis and ran away from the South. The Confederate Government was the war of the patent and used it through the war. It was a propeller for raising vessels over obstacles in shallow water. Baker says that it is a mistake to assume that the Negro is an imitator and not an originator, declaring that, after all, there is precious little originating among nearly all patents granted, one being merely an improvement over the idea of some other man. Many of the Negro exhibits at various expositions in recent years have shown the models and pictures of many of the Negro inventors. Baker hints that officially repent the United States at tour of the big exposition in recent years. It was a Cuban Negro named J. E. Matzlerger, who made the basic patent for sewing soles on shoes," said Baker, "and if he had been up to snuff he would have been worth millions when he died, that machinery to-day bring thousands in the way of royalty. Matzlerger was a boot and shoe cobbler in Lynn, Mass. He organized a company to put the machine on the market, but was film-flammed out of a majority of the stock. At the time of his death, however, he still held some of the shares which he thought would never value. He felt that a Baptist church in Lynn. Many years later the church became bady mortgaged and when the officers were hunting a way out of the indebtedness they pulled out this old stock. It brought them $15,000, more than enough to lift the mortgage." The most noted Neigh inventor of the country is Granville T. Woods, an electrician of New York. He has patented forty or more devices, all relating to the control of electricity. One of these he sold to the Bell Telephone Company for $10,000. He and his brother have a company in New York for handling electrical machinery, much of it their own invention. Next to Woods as a prolific inventor is Elijah McCoy, of Detroit. His devices are nearly all related to the fabricating or machinery. They have been used for years on steamships, railroads, etc., and have brought him a fortune. Humphrey Reynolds invented the main part of the ventilating machinery for Pullman cars. He was a porter on these cars at the time. The company got the patent before he did, however. He quit the concern, entered suit against it, proving the patent to be his own, and obtained indemnity for $2500. A half dozen Negro women have invented useful articles. M. E. Benjamin, a colored school teacher of Washington, D. C., invented a gong signal for use in schools and a pinking machine. A Baltimore woman invented a machine to blow out a flower along the thread showing outside. She was a dressmaker. A Florida woman invented a bed for invalids and refused an offer of $2,000 for it. NEBORO INVENTS TELEPHONE Charley Secured by White Who Have Sold Him Stock and Made Him Port- er. RICHMOND, Va., September 8.—Although the telephone system connecting several counties with Ashland and Richmond was constructed by J. T. Farley, a Negro, the charter to operate the system has been secured by white men. It is not due, however, to any lack of race loyalty on the part of the inventor that white men control the company. Repeated efforts were made on the part of Mr. Farley to have men of his race incorporate and operate a telephone company, but to no good purpose. So he applied to white men who readily saw feasibility of investing in his invention. The company has secured a right of way in several of the counties of Virginia and is enjoying good business already. The management expects to make many thousands of dollars yearly. Mr. Farley has bought five shares, of stock in the concern and has been made foreman to keep the lines in repair. MONSTER CLEVELAND CELEBRATION. Most. Charles W. Anderson to be Principal Speaker on the Foundation CLEVELAND, O., September 8.—Hon Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York, will be the principal speaker of the occasion of a monster celebration of Emancipation day in this city on the 22d. Most f the secret societies have accepted invitations to turn out in full uniform, and the street pageant will be an inspiring display. The pastors of several churches are manifesting a deep interest in the affair and this year's celebration of freedom's natal day will be one long to be remembered. Collector Anderson was born in Ohio, and was at one time a resident of Cleveland. It is, therefore, peculiarly fitting that one who has risen to the highest position occupied by a Negro in the North should return to his native heath and join with his former fellow citizens in reviewing the marvelous progress of his race, and hold up the lamp of hope for the future. Cleveland never does things by halves, and it is safe to say that the institution haszens of the "Buckeye" metropolis, regardless of race, will unite in giving Collector Anderson the warmest reception he has ever enjoyed anywhere. Utica, X. Y. Urtica, N. Y., September 8.—The Rev. Charles W. H. Lloyd, accompanied Rev. Strother to Little Falls last Tuesday evening. Rev. Lloyd preached a grand sermon to a good-sized congregation. Friday evening Rev. Strother, preached at the Lion A. M. E. Zion Church, Hliosa N. Y. After the services he arranged to have Rev. Lloyd preach at Lion every Sunday evening. Mrs. Mary J. Strother was entertained by Miss Susie Hopkins at New York Mills last Thursday. Mrs. Hester Anthony, of this city and formerly of Schenectady, N. Y., died last Thursday evening. Funeral services were held at Church Sunday at 3 o'clock. The sermon was preached by the pastor. She leaves a husband, two sisters and children to mourn her loss. The deceased was the first person to join Hope Chapel under the administration of Rev. Strother. One of the stewardess board, is arranging to have a musical and literary concert on Friday, September 24. From the way tickets are being sold she will have a grand success. She is being assisted by Mrs. Martha Bowden, one of the leading ladies of Urtica. Mrs. Mary J. Strother left Urtica for Saratoga Springs Saturday to spend her vacation. Mrs. John Jackson, of Katherine street; Mrs. Henrietta Pell, of Burn street; Mrs. Mary Green, of Jay street, are on the sick list. Mrs. Emma Whelle, who has been out of the city on a visit, will return next week. Mr. and Mrs.伊丽 Strong, of Emma Whelle, will be at Lion N. Y. They have connected themselves with the Zion Church at Lion. Last Friday evening J. H. Webb, assisted by Charles Ellsworth and Walter B. Bradley, are arranging for $200 million in gifts to Walter Webb, president of the trustee board and Mr. Walter Bradley is secretary. Both are men of means. Mr. Richard Rowden, claimed as one of the well-to-do citizens of Uttica, is on the board of the trustee board and Mr. Walter Bradley is secretary. Both are men of means. Mr. Richard Rowden, claimed as one of the well-to-do citizens of Uttica, is on the board of the trustee board and Mr. Walter Bradley is secretary. Both are men of means. Miss Malinie Miller, Miss May Brewster and Miss Mila Knight expect to attend the reception to Dr. M. H. Rosm, at Auburn, N. Y., September 17. Mr. Buelah Rowland has moved to No. 5 Seneca at the fortified homestead located in a husband's trainer. Mr. Junior Greens has taken rooms for the winter at No. 9 Broadway. Sunday evening there was a large audience present to hear the pastor preach on "An Open Confession." Rev. J. H. Wilson of Langue, N. W. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION SAYS: "VOTE Bishop Hood Advises the Voters of Newburgh to Support Nominee TALK ON BROWNSVILLE Democratic Senators are More to Blame Than President for With-hold Justice. NEWBURGH, N.Y., Sept. 7.—The speech of Bishop J. W. Hood of the A. M. E. Zion Church, who recently addressed the Negro voters on the Brownsville incident and advised them to vote for Judge Taft, has been productive of good results. In Newburgh Taft sentiment is evidenced everywhere among the Negro voters, and there is little doubt as to what they will do in November toward helping make the Empire state go Republican for both the National and the State tickets. The meeting addressed by Bishop Hood was a large and enthusiastic one, and the mention of the Republican nominee's name was always a signal for prolonged applause. During his speech Bishop Hood said: "I do not see how any Negro can vote against Taft on account of the Brownsville affair and yet support Bryan who justified that action. I cannot see how you can blame the Republican party for the President's action in that case and yet support the Democrat whose representatives in the United States Senate reached the same conclusion as that upon which the President acted. It is admitted that the President's action was hasty; but that of the Democrats was deliberate. "After months of investigation every Democratic member of the Senate Committee voted that the soldiers were guilty. They could not point to the guilty man, and if they did not know that anyone was guilty and yet they pronounced them guilty. They had what the President did not have; they had the opportunity to see how weak the case against the soldiers was. They listened to the testimony given by a biased mind could believe, and yet they pronounced them guilty. If they were justified in this decision, how can you condemn the President? The Democratic members of that committee as fully represent the Democratic party as the President represents the Republican party. How can any Negro oppose the party that the President represents on account of the President's action yet support the party that those Senators represent whose action is certainly more far-reaching and harmful? "The President wants to restore those whom he believes to be innocent, but these Senators indicate by their actions that they do not want even the innocent ones restored; and they represent the controlling sentiment of the party led by Mr. Bryan. Is there any consistency in those Negroes who are leading the fight against Taft and supporting Bryan in this issue?" DUBOIS "UP AGAINST IT." Bryan Advocate Sparks Amid Discerness Columbrus O., September 13; Trof. W. E. B. DriBois, of the Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., attempted to deliver a speech here last night at the Dunbar Theatre, in the interest of William Jennings Bryan and encountered no end of disconcerting difficulties. During his long and spiritless harangue, in which he essayed to score President Jefferson to all the evils to which the South fell heir, the electric lights went out and oil lamps had to be carried on the stage and placed at intervals on the walls. Then one of the flies of the theater scenery fell with a resounding crash, and much confusion resulted before the damage could be repaired. The audience paid little attention to the learned orator and sociologist. They came in and went out, talked to the audience, and a sense of the remarks that continued from the stage, in spite of the bellicane noise and hustle on the floor of the house. The keynote of Prof. DuBois' deliverance was that the Republican party was to blame for the outrages perpetrated through the restrictive policies of the Democratic party, and that relief could only be haded by electing the standard-bearer of the disfrianchers and "Jim Crow" supporters, and the deny. He lauded Senator Foraker, but his failure to convince his few hearers that supporting Bryan was the best way to hold up the hands of Senator Foraker came very near precipitating a riot. GOV. PINCHBACK AT COLUMBUS. Reconstruction Leader to Tell How Women Can Be Contributors. O. September 9— Arrangements have been made by the various committees to hold a State-wide emancipation celebration here on September 22. It is announced that Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, reconstruction governor of the State of Louisiana, now a citizen of New York, has been secured as orator of the day. The Governor is a popular figure in this State and his coming is a guarantee that the occasion be the most notable that Midwest Women will be able to curtions will be run in from many cities and towns within a radius of a hundred miles, and many prominent people from the metropolitan centers of the State have signified their intention to be present. The affair will be under the auspices of the very wide-awake colored Republican clubs of Columbus, and the activity displayed in getting things into shape indicates the need for fighting trim to meet any issue that may arise. In addition to Governor Pinchback, a number of speakers have been invited to deliver short addresses, and a musical program will be rendered. FAKE CHARGE OF ASSAULT Pit-up Job by Heworth and Humbard. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 7—When Mrs. H. Calhoun, of Butler, Ga., confessed to a canard, a mystery was cleared. Mrs. Calhoun and her husband are held at the county jail for highway robbery. Calhoun accused two Negroes of criminally assaulting his wife in the county twelve miles from here, and the Negroes escaped lynching. They declared that Calhoun and the woman robbed them and threatened to have them lynched if they gave the alarm. The white couple and the Negroes are in jail. Mrs. Calhoun confessed that she was not assaulted. The Calhouns are strangers here, and travelers. Pittsburg and Its People PITTSBURG, PA.—A number of prominent men of the city have organized a league, to be known as The Colored Protective League. Mr. William M. Randolph, one of our leading lawyers, is president and Mr. William T. Ward, proprietor of Ward's Stag Hotel, is vice-president. Mr. William A. Price, letter carrier in the Pittsburg post-office, has left the city to spend his vacation in Michigan and Ohio. Avery Training Schoolhas opened its 1908-9-session. The Industrial Home for working girls has purchased a valuable home on Francis street. Much credit is due Mrs. Edward Mellford for the great success of this institution. Ebenezer Baptist Church is making great preparations for the mortgage burning which will be witnessed here at an early date. Mr. John T. Writt, the catered, has received orders to prepare a banquet for 800 guests. The banquet will be after the mortgage burning. Rev. W. W. Brown is pastor of the church in the city that is doing more for the upbuilding of the race than is Ebenezer. Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Jonss will return to the city the 15th inst. Mr. Frank R. Stewart has returned to the city from Red. Bank, Va. All are glad to see work begin on Warren M. E. Church. This church had its mortgage burning about three years ago; it owned a nice brick church in a Jewish section, the Jews bought it and Warren commence the erection of a church in a very nice neighborhood. Soon after the corner-stone laying work stopped. No one seemed to know the cause. The citizens generally are congratulating themselves at the thought that Warren will soon be a thing of beauty and a joy forever. There is much work to be done in this city by the Colored Protective League, none, however, is more important than ascertaining why the race is not represented in the corps of public school teachers. The two finest resident sections of the city are what, is known as the East End and Belzhouh. People living in these sections are as different from those in what is known as the Hill district as if they were in different cities. The home manner of the people in East End, Belzhouh is much superior to those in the Hill district in the strongest imagination could picture. Strangers coming to the city should never leave without passing through these sections where so many of our representative people reside. The Loendi Club has called a special meeting to elect a board of directors to manage its business during the next twelve months. Mr. Thomas H Harrison, our hustling and energetic news dealer, is a candidate for a place on the board. All who have watched Mr. Harrison, the career as a business man are hoping the career will elect him as one of the directors. Your correspondent has seen a number of business men in different places but none have shown themselves more worthy the support and confidence of the people than Mr. Harrison. What the race needs more than any other one thing is more business places such as he is so successfully operating. Drug stores are not kept open later nor inspected more closely than Harrison's and cigar store. If he does continue to work in the job, he lack of energy, Mr. Harrison can be trusted to handle the affairs of any organization. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Pulpress have returned to the city from their summer home in Cambridge Springs. Prof. Stetson, of Atlanta, Ga., is in the city in the interests of Brown University. The Brown Brothers, have returned the city from Washington, D. C., having been called there by the death of their mother. Messrs. John T. Writt, N. T. Hoe, R. Frazier have returned home from the National Negro Business League meeting to a plea an ant trip and a splendid meeting full of encouragement. FAVOR TAFT Predict 100,000 Plurality For National Ticket in Buckeye State NEGROES IN LINE The Will Support the Republican Ticket for President and Vice President COLUMBUS, O., September 8—The State of Ohio or the past number of years has been able to occupy the very front of the political stage. Her sons are among the most resourceful men to be found, and know politics from A to Z, being always ready to take a trick. With a native son the candidate of the party for President, with one of the most brilliant men in the United States Senate a native son, and also occupying the stage, and with a contest on here both in the Presidential and Senatorial race, the eyes of the country are on Ohio. While there are two factions here contending for the advantage, and while the temperance question is entering largely in the campaign in Ohio, there are really no just grounds for supposing Ohio will not go Republican. The Negro vote has been somewhat dissatisfied, and while the Brownville matter entered somewhat into it, this dissatisfaction is not entirely due to the Brownville matter, and the fact is, throughout Ohio, this question is less discussed among Negroes than most any other State. The Negro vote is rapidly falling into line by election time practically all disaffection has been made this is due both to the fact that the Negro vote recognizes the inevitable—disfranchisement in all States, should Democrats get control, and to the fact that the Republican-Party managers are taking the Negro into their confidence and according him the just treatment he deserves. Up in Cuyahoga County it is morally certain that a Negro will be placed on the legislative ticket, and the same is true of Hamilton County. In this, Franklin County, which has a Negro vote exceeding four thousand, a demand made that Negroes be on the legislative ticket. At first the party managers agreed, and let it be known that such would be done. Soon, however, there was objection to the man the party managers had about agreed upon as being the most available, the objection coming from Negroes who were actuated by jealousy alone. Harry B. Alexander, formerly clerk to the mayor here, and now private secretary to the head of one of the largest manufacturing plants in the country, was tentatively agreed upon. He had many friends among both blacks and whites, and was not a subject with the result that the party managers here are now, in a quandary whether or not to place a Negro on the ticket. If they do, there will be no question as to the Negro vote coming up solidly for the State and county ticket. If they fail, there will be grave doubts as to whether the solid Negro vote can be developed. This, however, does not affect the National ticket, as Judge Taft will get the solid Negro vote. Strong efforts are being put forth by Democrats, and by a contingent of so-called Negro-Democrats to induce the Negro to cut the Republican candidate for President, but it will fail. Your correspondent has but one chance of standing. And finds that the Negro, no matter what may be his position as to the State and county tickets, will support the National ticket. Ohio will roll up one hundred thousand plurality for Taft. INDORSEMENT-FOR TAFT. Colored Baptists Also Excoriate President and Applaud Foraker. WASHINGTON, D. C., September 9—Mr. Taft was indorsed for the Presidency. President Roosevelt was exonerated of race prejudice in discharging the Negro soldiers at Brownsville, Tex., and Senator Foraker was applauded for his defense of the discharged battalion by the Lott Carey colored Baptist convention in session at the Zion Baptist church, on F street, between Third and Fourth streets, last week. The President's foreign policy also was indorsed by the convention. This action was taken when the convention adopted the report of the committee, the report of which had been reentered the question of what should be the Negro's attitude toward the Republican national candidates. The convention closed its business sessions last Saturday by selecting Raleigh, N. C., as the next place of meeting. New Haven, Conn. NEW HAVEN, September 8.—The Rev. Harry Ocear Bowley, rector of St. Luke's P. E. Church, this city, was married to Mist Grette Gough, of Adrian, Mich. Tuesday morning, September 1st, at 8:30 p.m. The bride, Dr. Channer. The witnesses present were the bride's parents and cousin. The bride is an accomplished young woman, having been a teacher in the Indianapolis public schools for the past two years. The bride was called to this city as rector, October 1, 1907. During that period he has merited the highest encomium of the church and the people. The church and friends wish him and his bride the felicities of matrimonial bliss. "Tom Thumb" wedding and open male will be given at Zion A. M. R. Church, Foste street, Bay, C. S. Whited, pastor, Thursday evening, September 17. The entertainment will be given under the management of the Rising, Star, Ship and Waterways Churches in the Kings Daughters of the Church, Mru, E. George Biddle, president. Mr. Ames Mitchell, of Charleston S. C., is in the city and spending an indefinite stay with his brother, Special Officer Henry W. Williams, of 223 Ashmore Mtn., Mrs. Moore, of 63 Charles street, who has been sick since last Spring, is very ill. Her daughter, Mrs. John Henson, has the care of her mother. ASK FOR SEPARATE SCHOOLS PHILADELPHIA, September 9.—Whether Nicetown shall have, separate schools is a question that is causing no end of discussion. The Negro papers and some of the leading citizens of Philadelphia have taken up the matter which makes things more complicated. An organization known as the Colored Protective Association is seeking to have separate schools established in Nicetown. The movement is bitterly opposed by the newspapers and the majority of citizens, but what is not the sentiment of the people but an attempt the part of a white politician and a Negro policeman to have colored schools in Nicetown to serve self-help. In. all probabilities the school system will remain as it is. PLAN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN New York Vote - No John Crow Amnesia WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9. - Reliable advices from every quarter indicate that the campaign of 1908 is now "on" in earnest. A visitor just from the headquarters or the Republican National Committee in New York City brings the news that all is being business through the magnificent Metropolitan Life Insurance Building. The machinery, after much careful preparation and accumulation of valuable data, is now in fine running order, and from this week until the close of the polls on the third day of November there will be "something doing" in a fashion so aggressive and constant that the old president will not be satisfied that he has never seen anything like it, even in the palmy day of vore. Not only are there evidences of the character of the fight to be made along general lines, but the managers have completed arrangements for a vigorous campaign that will touch every element likely to have a specific bearing upon the result. Passing over the plans outlined for the labor people and the methods to be used to hold in line those inlined to hold the campaign for which the "also rans" are said to stand, generous provisions are being made for the organization and enlightenment of the Negro voters on the issues that particularly affect them as a class. Details will be disclosed later, but it will be admissible to say at this time that competent and popular speakers on the race will be heard on the stump within the fewest of days: able writer will be placing before the eyes of the reading public convincing reasons why the colored voters should continue to uphold the grand old party of freedom and economic advancement; the press will treat them with respect; the support will doubtless be instructed from some high source to eliminate columns of choice society gossip from Cementville and throw open every available inch of space to promote the "campaign of education," and, finally, the expert organizers in the various States counties, wards and precincts will be shown how they can help to guarantee a healthy majority in every battleground for Taft and Sherman. Everybody will be allowed to work, and whether the reward comes just now or in the future, those best informed do not doubt that the rank and file of our population will relish the support of the Republican ticket in locality where the Negro vote is potent. It is given out from a reliable source that there will be no "jim crow" annex to the Republican in some quarters. Chairman Hitchcock has called about him colored men in whom he has perfect confidence, and upon them he will largely rely for advice as to how the support for work can be made most effective. There is to be no segregation along the line of color; each factor in the campaign, white or black, will work and be made to work in the same manner. Although little has been made in the public prints for several weeks the condition of the colored vote has been carefully inquired into and the rumor that the Negro was to be ignored by Mr. Hitchcock or counted as an "asset" has had no foundation in fact. The developments of the next few weeks will show how deep has been the respect of Messrs. Hitchcock, Ward and their counselors for the strong men of our race in all the States, North, East, South and West. The list of spellbinders now being made up will include some of the Negro's brightest and most capable men. Backed up by honest and accountable press and listened to with attentive listening masses, there is no reason to doubt that the misrepresentations of the opposition will be cleared up, and that the appeals to bitter prejudice and low passions, so insistently made by men who ought to be in better business, will fail to move the thoughtful black man from the moorings that have made his citizenship a gateway to opportunity and brought him a heritage in the world of culture and commerce. The strength and the weaknesses with reference, to the campaign among the colored voters have been minimally examined by experts. The coposition has PRICE, 5 CENTS Youngstown Demonstra- tion Nails a Democratic Report NOT AGAINST TAFT Democrats in the Air—Negroes of Ohio Displayed Great Enthusiasm at Great Demonstra- tion of Ohio Republicaas Sounds the Campaign Slogan: "Progress and Prosperity"—Democrats in the Ab-Sea, Beveridge, Gov. Harris and Others Speak. Columbus, Sept. 8.—It has been circulated throughout Ohio that the Negro voters of this State had a grievance against Judge Taft and that he would have considerable difficulty getting that vote in line. However, since the big Taft demonstration in Youngstown last Saturday the would-be Negro Democrats and calamity holwers have been compelled to "go' way back and sit down" on that subject. One of the features of the big Taft demonstration was the enthusiasm shown by Negroes for Taft. They planned, to play an important part on the occasion and did so. In the parade there were hundreds of them who carried Taft banners and banners that bore the inscription, "The Afro-American League of Voters." Prof. W. S. S. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce University, had been invited to make the invocation, but was unable to appear. Although not on hand he sent a letter in which he committed himself in favor of Judge Taft's election. "I had fixed my hope upon being with you," wrote Prof. Scarborough. "I am greatly grateful for Judge Taft, to get together with the whole ticket, State and National, shall be successful. It seems to me that failure to elect Secretary Taft would be a national calamity." Never was an Ohio canvas opened so auspiciously. Youngstown was given a holiday and thousands of visitors poured into the city to attend the big demonstration. Governor Hughes of New York was the principal speaker, and he sounded the campaign slogan, "Progress and Prosperity." Besides Governor Huhes, Senator Beveridge of Indiana and Governor Harris of Ohio made speeches. The nature of the parade was the presence of 10,100 laboring men from the steel mills. All the mills closed that the men might march, and uniforms were provided them. The Carnegie Steel Company contributed 3,400 men, the Republic Iron and Steel Company 2,400 and the American Steel and Tube Company 4,500. In his speech Governor Hughes did not in any way attack the Democratic nominee, but called the attention of the voters to the progress of business under Republican rule and the tendency of the Democrats to retard all industrial progress by their many "isms." At the beginning of his address he said: "The Republican party makes appeal to public confidence as the most important political agency for conservatism and for progress. It stands in striking contrast to the record of vacillation and inepitude presented by the chief opposing party. That opposing party proffers a candidacy which is at once a monument and a guide-post. It memorializes the fallacies and unsafe policies we are asked to forget, and it points the way to business uncertainty and to the impairment of the confidence which is its "unity of industry and trade." "The campaign watchwords, 'Shall the People Rule?' and the demand 'Whether the Government shall remain a mere business asset of favor-seeking conversations' are not impressive when embazoned on the banners of Tammany Hall and of other essential allies. The army opposing us cannot pass muster either as one of defense or of salvation, and we may well pause before we permit it, despite its boast of fidelity, to garrison our institutions.' FOR WAYWARD COLORED GIRLS Citizens of Kansas City Have Organized Home That Is a Credit to Community. KANSAS CITY, September 9.—The charitable workers of this city have effected an organization to take care of the wayward colored girls of this city and have fitted out a building at 506 Oak street which will be the home of incorrigible colored girls. There are already twelve inmates, who are neat in appearance and intelligent. At the last session of the Legislature provisions were made for a home for incorrigible colored girls at Chillicothe but the enactment was never enforced. The citizens of Kansas City, feeling the need of an institution for wayward colored girls, organized and set to work to establish an institution that would be a credit to all. On the advisory board are such citizen: Dr. H. Mathine of the Juvenile Court; Dr. H. Mathine of the probation officer; F. E. McCraary, human rights officer; James Lee, truant officer; Mrs. I. H. McCampbell, president of the Woodmen's League and matron of the home. been allowed to fan off his uncommissioned misunderstood. It had uttered only plaintive, no tangible offer of advantage to the state has been brought forward. The Democratic platform is silent on the question of human rights; we all know why. There are almost man advocating the election of Mr. Bryan. No Taft man is abusing those who would load the Negro humane back into the clutches of their former masters. They may think they can gain immunity from outrages by yielding to the far-fetched blasphemies of a slave-owning party, which wins in one section by fanning the fires of race hatred into a consuming blaze and seeks to deceive both black and white in another by a Jekyll and Hyde policy that spells disaster to all who put their trust in its unscrupulous leaders. When the records of the Republican and the Democratic parties are candidly compared, and the constructive achievements of the former are set side by side with the empty theories and restrictive laws of the latter, the outcome will be eminently satisfactory to the champions of the party of Lincoln and Grant. The Republican managers do not disguise the fact that hard work will be required and that much territory must be covered, but it will be a labor of love and no fear is entertained as to the final result. Said a prominent man of affairs to your correspondent: "I want to see the Republicans hustle for the colored vote. It makes us feel good to be considered and respected. We are sometimes deceived, but not for long. We wander at times in our minds, but when it comes to, voting we are invariably standing by the old flag. The 'fight' will be interesting, but little blood will be shed. The advantage is all with the Republican party. The contest is simply one of dreamers against doers—of impracticable idealists against wide-awake men of business—of exploded theories against actual facts. Taft and Sherman are both attractive, broadminded and constructive statesmen. They stand for equality of citizenship for all. They will win on their merits, and you may depend upon it that the colored man has too much sense, to throw awake his chasing any impossible will-o-the-wisps at the behest of inexperienced and self-constituted leaders who would not know what to do with a victory if they happened to achieve one. Ninety-five per cent, of the Negro vote will be cast for Taft and Sherman." Bishop Caldwell, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, was at the New York headquarters last week and expressed the view that the masses of the Negro will stand by the ticket. There is no bottom to the assertion that the enthusiasm for the Republican nominees is confined to the office holders at Washington. The twenty bishops of the three Methodist churches are almost unanimous in their advocacy of the election of Judge Taft; the most influential leaders in the Baptist Church, from President E. C. Morris to the exhorter in the rural districts, are outspoken in their support of the distinguished Ohioan. In none of the churches is there any noteworthy or organized antipathy toward the Republican candidate. Whatever there may be of discontent, adroitly stirred up by garbled reports of Judge Taft's views on the franchise or by misleading lights thrown on the administration of President Roosevelt, will disappear when the truth is told. The office holders are giving the ticket their hearty endorsement, but are not making themselves unduly conspicuous. Conventions of Negroes in many quarters are endorsing the candidacy of Judge Taft. The Lott Carey Baptist Convention, which has been holding its sessions here, declared for Taft in an eloquent and well-written address to the country and expressed the view that the President was not influenced by race prejudice in his action on the Brownsville matter. The District Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church held not long ago in John Wesley Church, gave Taft an unequivocal endorsement. The big ratification meeting at True Reformers' Hall on the 22d under the auspices of the Empire State Republican Club showed that successful Taft meetings can be held here, and a second ratification barbecue at Madre's Park on Labor Day clinched the fact that the hold of the party upon the affections of the Negro is undiminished, despite the efforts of subsidized orators or orators to have the people believe otherwise. It is significant that out of the 220 or more race journals, published throughout the land, only one can be counted as an enemy to Judge Taft—and its influence is nullified by the democratic record of its owners' family for three generations and by its fanatical personal feeling against all who do not take up the cudgels against industrial education. Tarrytown, N. Y. TARRYTOWN, September 9—The members of, Westchester Lodge, No. 116, I. K. P. O. Elks of the World, held their musical and smoker last Tuesday evening at their lodge room.

PROF. CHAB. H. ANDERSON After a month's vacation, Rev. J. W. Stout, pastor of St. John's Baptist Church, filled his pulpit Sunday morning. His text was from Bainbridge, 38 chapters, 18th verse. It was very impressive and instructive. Last Sunday morning Rev. King of Young Men's College taught at Bainbridge and at evening Rev. W. H. Taylor, of Bainbridge, N. J., the former pastor, delivered a very powerful and inspiring sermon to a crowded house, which was spiritually felt. His text was "Our Duty to God and Man." Rev. J. W. Stout and wife have returned from Bainbridge. N. G., where lived with her husband, and son-in-law Mr. David Ortiz. The annual coronation of the A. M. E. Zion and Silahie Baptist Sunday school was a grand success, and everybody had an enjoyable outing. At the A. M. E. Zion Church, R. M. Beblen delivered a very able discourse from Hebrews, 18th chapter. 6th verse, in the morning to a large gathering. Madame W. Wilson is able to be with her choir again after being absent an account of illness of a few weeks; while absent, Mrs. Bortha Williams provided at the organ. Mrs. Bertha E. Williams has entered the Music Conservatory of Music under Prof. Albert F. Mansfield. Miss Edna Jacobs is still very ill. Mrs. John Gallifield, of Nyack, was the guest of Mrs. Ella Hunt last Sunday. Rev. and Mrs. Bennet and family are the guests of Rev. and Mrs. R. M. Holden. The two great Labor Day receptions which took place at Prof. Charles H Anderson's Dancing Academy Palace Hall, Seventh avenue and 51st street, Monday afternoon and evening, September 7, was the greatest success of the series of receptions ever given. The afternoon session commenced at 1 o'clock and continued until 7. The number that attended was far beyond the PROF. CHAB. professor's expectations, fully 200 people being present. They danced merrily to the sweet tunes of Miss Anderson's music until the closing. Prof. Anderson informed his pupils and friends to return home for their dinner and come back for the evening's big session as this was only a sample. As early as 7.30 the guests commenced to arrive in great numbers and continued the entire evening. Taxicabs, cabs and numerous other vehicles were much in evidence. It was such a jam, about 10 o'clock that four officers had to be summoned to make the crowd form a line to the box office as each individual was clamoring to purchase tickets. This was one evening that Prof. Anderson was forced to bring into play two box office attendants to cope with the situation. The great amount of music used was much to the amazement of the visitors from surrounding cities. Beautiful gowns were worn by the ladies. The gentlemen wore dress suits. Dancing under the brilliant electrical displays made a great scene. The numbers arranged by Prof. Wm. Carl, leader of Miss Anderson's orchestra, met with Miss applause; one in particular, a schottish, "The Right Church, But the Wrong Pew." Not a hirch marred the evening's pleasure. At 1.30 Prof. Anderson was asked for an estimate of those present. He went to the box office and shortly returned saying there were 903 people and they were still coming in. Dancing was continued until the wee hours of the morning. The musicians from the Metropolitan Dancing Association paid Prof. Anderson a visit after their closing and they were al put to work and reinforced the music. The professor was very pleased with the honor shown him by the many managers of other pleasure resorts. Mrs. Mimms; the wife of Prof. Moses M. Mimms, represented her husband, while Prof. James Banks represented his class. Prof. Vaughn, Jr., represented the Metropolitan while Mr. Pursley represented the Imperial Skating Rink. All complimented Prof. Anderson on his great gathering. At four o'clock the orchestra played "Home, Sweet Home," which was a disappointment to all Prof. Anderson's classes are in session every Monday and Thursday evening and Monday afternoon. Springfield, Mo. SPRINGFIELD, September 8. The Rev. E. L. Cunningham, the newly elected pastor of the Third Baptist Church, preached his first sermon in that capacity Sunday.

The institution is open for the inspection of the public at any time and terms will be reasonable. GREETOWN, S. C., September 7. This city has experienced but very little of the high water, from the recent flood of the up country. The rising is only known by observation. There has been considerable loss of rice on the Santee, but no lives by drowning. Much interest has been manifested hee toward registration. We are constantly seeing in some of the papers the desire for the publicity of campaign contribution funds of the Republican party. Perhaps if these same papers would urge a more honest registration they would add considerably to the approaching triumph of Taft and Sherman. Tidings from the East make us happy — Vermont's 25,000 majority. We want to hear from Maine on the 15th. We are not in favor of Negro Democrats down this way. Jersey City News. The wedding bells have begun to chime and there is no telling when they will stop. Tuesday evening Mr. W. Couch, of New York, and Rebecca C. James, of Wakefield, were made one by Rev. A.

He preached and administered communion to a very large congregation. He also preached to a surprisingly large audience in the evening. The offering was more than twice as large as it has been on any Sunday in August, which shows the splendid spirit and hearty way in which the people are taking hold of the work, both materially and spiritually. Rev. and Mrs. Boyd while away visited Albany, Syracuse, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Dunkirk and Philadelphia. Their stay in Dunkirk on the shore of Lake Erie was particularly entertaining. They have returned home well and hearty ready for the many pressing duties of the fall and winter. The harvest home festival to be given by St. Philip's Church Aid during the week of September 21 promises to be a success in every way. The weekly drills of St. Philip's cadet have been resumed after a vacation of nearly two months. The Sunday School is taking on more life; in fact, all departments of the church are beginning the regular winter program. Our lay reader, the Hon. J. J. R. Spurgeon, most effectively carried on the services of the church during the rector's absence. Dr. Scarborough to Speak in Toronto, TORONTO, Sept. 9. At the next meeting of the American Philological Association, which will be held in Canada at the University of Toronto, Dr. W. S. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce University, will discuss some disputed passages in Cicero's letters. A. M. E. CHURCH CONFERENCE. Center New York and Long Island District Meet at Glen Cove. GLEN COVE, L. I., September 8.—The Greater New York and Long Island District Conference of the African M. E. Church was held last week in the Calvary A. M. E. Church in this village, of which the Rev. A. B. Morton, D.D., is pastor. The Rev. H. H. Pinckney, D.D., presiding elder of the district, presided over the deliberations. The Rev. George Ralph Coverdale of Amityville delivered a sermon on "Peace." The annual address of the presiding elder was received with applause and commendatory speeches. The reports by the delegates, with few exceptions, showed progress and an increase in membership in the churches. The Rev. Joseph Stiles, presiding elder of Albany District, was introduced by Dr. Pinckney and made an interesting and forceful address, in the course of which he said: "You may have everything you can have of entertainments to attract the young to the church, but above all things you must have the Holy Spirit." The Rev. Chas. J. Lawton of Westbury, on behalf of the conference responded, and commended Dr. Stiles for the progress which had been made in his district. The Rev. Dr. William H. Lacey, pastor of Union Bethel Church, Schenectady avenue, Brooklyn, read an able paper on "Is Heaven a Place or Condition?" which elicited an interesting discussion. A paper entitled "Is Conversion Subjective or Objective?" by the Rev. Albert Long, D.D., of Payne Memorial Church, in South Oxford street, Brooklyn, proved interesting. An address was also made by the Rev. Dr. John M. Proctor of Allen Chapel, Jamaica. The Rev. George R. Coverdale of Amityville, L. L., was the secretary of the conference. The stewardesses of various places came to the convention to hear a discussion of "The Relation of the Stewardesses to the Official Life of the Church," which was deferred (over the protest of the stewardesses) because of the absence of the writer of the paper, brought about, the unanimous adoption of a resolution, offered by the Rev. Joseph Steward, pastor of St. James' Mission, East New York, that the presiding elder censure absentee for neglect of duty. Ebenezer Williams of Westbury and Wiley G. Overton of Brooklyn were elected for two years later delegates to the New York Annual Conference, and the Rev. Dr. William H. Leary was elected fraternal delegate to the Albany District Conference. Among the visitors were Mra. Lynda D. Smith, the district Sunday school superintendent; the Rev. O. O. Vick of Olean, Mra. H. Ghivens, Mra. R. H. J. Taylor. The convention adjourned in the afternoon to meet next year at Elmhurst, L. I. Dr. Beckett Moven Family to Brooklyn. The Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett, newly elected secretary of Home and Foreign Missions of the African M. E. Church, who moved his family (wife and three daughters) to Brooklyn comes from the pastorate of one of the largest churches in Charleston, S. C. Dr. Beckett was born in Edisto Isle, S. C., about fifty years ago. He served as presiding elder for eight years and held the successful pastorate of some of the leading and largest churches in that State. Dr. Beckett is a graduate of Clark University and of Gammon Theological Seminary. John B. Watson Elected Secretary X. M. C. A. Thousands of college students and others interested in the work of the Young Men's Christian Association will regret the resignation of George Edmund Haynes, M. A., from the secretaryship of the International Committee an office he filled with exceptional ability and success during the past three years as the associate of Mr. W. A. Hunton and Dr. J. E. Moorland. Mr. Haynes resigned in order to pursue post-graduate studies at Columbia University and will probably resume association work after completing his self-assigned studies. The International Committee has been fortunate in engaging the services of Mr. John B. Watson, of Atlanta, Ga., who will take Mr. Haynes' place in the supervision of student associations in several Southern States'. Mr. Watson is a native Texan, a student at Bishop College and was graduate from Brown University, Providence, R. I., in 1904. During the past three years he has been instructor in sociology and the sciences at Atlanta Baptist College. Mr. Watson has a real friendship for students and an intense interest in all phases of student life. While attending the Northfield Student Conference a few weeks ago he was pressed into service by Brown University students in contests with other schools on the athletic field. With his thorough preparation for his new work and his strong manly personality he will become an effective force in the Y. M. C. A movement.

THE FAKE CRY OF RAPE In another column of The Age we print an article from Montgomery, Ala., which tells of two Negroes accused of criminally assaulting a white woman, being later freed of the charge upon the admission of the woman in question that she and her husband had falsified. The true story of the affair is that the woman and her husband, H. Calboun by name, robbed, the Negroes and then threatened to set up the cry of criminal assault if an alarm was given. The report in some manner got out that an assault had been made upon the white woman and the Negroes barely escaped lynching. All concerned were arrested and after undergoing a "sweating" process, instituted by the authorities the Calboun woman confessed to a canard and told the true story. They are now held in jail for highway robbery. To some the ladder might seem trivial, but to others it signifies much. There are many similar cases wherein a Negro is wrongfully charged with a crime and lynched, just because the woman makes the accusation. No attempt is made by the authorities or the mob to ascertain if the man is really guilty, but he is put to death without even being given an opportunity to defend himself. It is noticed with pleasure that several of the daily papers in Montgomery published the true statement of facts when it became known that the white woman set up a fake cry of rape, and published her confession in its entirety. The Calhoun incident only goes to show that every dispatch from the South printed by Northern papers about Negroes assaulting white women is not true, and that in many instances the cry of rape is a falsehood from beginning to end. "ALONG THE COLOR LINE." The Negro has again had his case fairly and fully presented to the American people. Ray Stannard Baker's series, "Along the Color Line," beginning on and soon after the memorable Atlanta race riot and ending in the current issue of the American Magazine, has thus been a distinct and valuable contribution to American race-problem literature. Nothing like it for temper and thoroughness, since the era of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," has come from the pen of an eminent white author, and as a consequence, we believe, no recent contribution merits or is calculated to lend such helpful influence. Approaching his complex task with a broad and open mind, holding fast to an unprejudiced and humane nature he has gathered therein an overwhelming mass of surprisingly accurate evidence. He has shed new light upon the hard progress of the black man in this country. He has fearlessly exposed the sinister influence of the demagogues, black and white, North and South, who harass his onward march. He has ruthlessly turned the searchlight of impartial inquiry upon the rotten places in the fabric of racial conditions between whites and blacks. For these various reasons, together with his general fairness, honesty and soundness, he has gained our warm admiration. In expressing our gratitude to this patriot and Christian we wish to express also our heartiest concurrence in his great conclusions. "The slaves of forty years ago have made the most astonishing progress." But patiently and doggedly we must fight on to overcome the great distance which still seepifies our economic position from that of the average white American. "As for the agitation for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution, which gives the right of suffrage to the colored minn, it must be met by every layer of justice and democracy with a face of adjustment. Mr. Shafer is probably right. With an ever-increasing, economic progress and with a free franchise we shall stay right here in America. Then with the help of God we will and must work out our own salvation. OBJECTIONS TO THE REMEMORATION PARTY. While the objections of the Negro to the Democratic party are almost as many as there were Democrats in 1894; while our objections are as strong as is the hatred for our citizenship of the Southern and dominant school of Democrats, they readily group themselves under four heads. First, the Democratic party as ever believes in "State rights." Losing on State sovereignty in 1707, and on State secession in 1861, it announces through Bryan and Johnson in 1898, that the disfranchisement of the Negro race is a State question. We believe that a race's wrongs and this admitted violation of the Federal Constitution is a national question. The Negro, therefore, objects to disfranchisement being left to the Southern States for settlement. Second, the radical and corrupt wing of the Democratic party as represented by Bryan, John Sharp Williams, Tammany Hall and "Fingy" Connors is seeking to be elected to power. The conservative and able wing of that party is for Taft, as the late President Cleveland declares in his last political message to his country. Third, besides being in evil company, Bryan personally has neither courage nor conviction on the Negro question. For among divers others proofs, like the demagogue that he is: 1. He justified the disfranchisement of the Negro race in his last New York speech. 2. He forsook his government ownership of railroads policy when the South became aroused for the future of its "Jim Crow" cars. Fourth, business men more than ever fear that the Democrates cannot conduct a safe and stable administration. The present business depression will not admit of weak experimental, and corrupt government. With Bryan's election, business confidence and prosperity would be shaken and suffer. The Negro race as a consequence must also suffer. THE RAY OF LIGHT FROM SPRINGFIELD. Every crisis ultimately brings forth true crisis and great principles. The message of protection to all citizens regardless of color heralded across the country by the noble and patriotic citizens of Springfield, assembled in mass meeting under Senator Hay, is the only bright spot to relieve the gloom and despair of an otherwise dark and desperate situation. Senator Hay is the worthy nephew of the late John Hay, who learned the statesmanship of unswerving justice at the knees of the martyred President. Bloody vengeance was wreaked upon a weak people and they are now innocent fugitives exiled from their own homes. The home city of their sainted emancipator was desecrated by a maiddened mob. But if from this baptism of blood and desecration shall issue a chastened reign of law and order, the sacrifice will not have been in vain. Barbarous and horrible as it is, may Springfield's disgrace be the price of America's atonement. --- FALL AND WINTER WORK. Now that the summer holiday has passed our people everywhere should begin making preparation for a year of hard serious work. Each individual should not only see that he succeeds in his own individual enterprise, but that he gives some time to matters which cover the economic, the educational, moral and religious growth of the community in which he lives. It is not enough that few of our people make money, but it is more important that they use their money and influence in bringing, about a higher moral status among the Negroes. In this age no man can live to himself. He must use his money and his influence to help forward the church, the Sunday school, the literary organizations, and in every way contribute what he can toward the general prosperity and righteousness of the community. SPERIOUS BUSINESS CONCERNS. A great many individuals throughout the country are starting organizations with a view to making money. This is praiseworthy and not to be condemned, but all such concerns should be based upon sound business principles, otherwise they will fail. Especially is it important that all who engage in the insurance business should be informed as to the methods of insurance and have such plans perfected as will last. Merely to put on foot an organization that will bring in money from hard-working people for a period of a few months with the result that the organization will fail in the end will hurt in a very fundamental manner. HON. R. J. SMITH. One of the foremost and brainstem operators in the National Negro Business League and Tuskegee Farmer Conference movements is the genial Hon. R. L. Smith, president of the Farmers' Improvement Society of Texas. In variably he comes to these great gathering with a pointed and refreshing story and telling it is in his own delighted, inimitable way, he invariably leaves a distinct impression. He adds charm to the session he addresses and he is always accorded a deserved and splendid reception. At the Baltimore convention he concluded his advice on the need of aggressive and co-operative effort with an anecdote on "American Israel." He said, leaving the platform amid a storm of laughter and vigorous applause, that although the children of Israel had been promised the land of milk and honey and other nice things they had to fight like the mischief to get it. THE REFUSAL The charming little love lyric, "The Refusal," by William Stanley Braithwaite of Boston, is the back of the frontispiece of the current issue of the American Magazine. While we doubt that this was purposely designed, it is a happy coincidence that this beautiful poem of the rising Negro bard should accompany the closing number of that notable series, "Along the Color Line," by Ray Stannard Baker. Delicate and graceful in outline, finely expressive and surpassingly sweet in sentiment, "The Refusal" ranks with the best lyric efforts of our premier poet since Dumbar. Endowed, as eminent literateurs have announced, with a rare and blossoming poetic genius, youthful and plodding persistently away, we set neither metrs nor bounds to the future of this brilliant young Negro. WHAT DID WE GET! Mr. W. Monroe Trotter was a visitor at the headquarters of the Republican Nation Committee last week. The Niagara movement it is said met at Oberlin last week. The suicide on her way to jail of Mrs. Howard, the alleged leader of the wild orgy of blood and destruction at Springfield, is not surprising. A fate no less severe and unhappy for the other mob wretches will be the decree of justice. The awful burden of mob-law guilt is an everlasting plague upon an individual as upon a community and a race. Crimes, like chickens, come home to roost. To this truth, eternal as the heavens, America must awake. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS The selection of Louisville as the next stopping place of the National Negro Business League gives universal satisfaction. The city by the Ohio Falls is convenient of access from all points of the compass. Situated at the junction of the Middle West and the border South, it is the natural gateway between the North and the South, and the logical highway between the East and the West. Kentucky hospitality is proverbial, and the old-fashioned welcome that awaits the league in Louisville guarantees an attendance that will be second to none of the conventions of the last nine years. If any Negro bishop imagines he can deliver the vote of his denomination to Bryan, he should hunt up Samu Gompers and have a few words in executive session on the troubles the latter is having in handing over the labor vote to "the peerless leader." Intelligent voters of any church or fraternity have a habit of refining to be "delivered" to anybody. William Jennings Bryan has said nothing to indicate that he does not stand with his political brethren, Tillman, Vardaman and Jeff Davis, for disfranchisement of the Negro, "Jim Crow" car laws, lynching,押赎 and nullification of every civil and political right possessed by our people. It is the legitimate, established newspaper that masses a real influence with the masses. The "campaign" sheet issued to bolster up a passing propaganda is an advertising handbill and carries no weight with thinking people. The campaign upon which we are now entering is to be of education and enlightenment—not a sea of illification, abuse, intentional misconstruction of motives or sensational appeals to the low passions and prejudices of mankind. Any would-be orator who inflicts a speech of more than ten minutes on a banquet audience should be "cut out" by the committee on toasts at all future functions. Long-winded "toasters" will please sit up and take notice. In burying the anti-administration hatchet and emphasizing the beauty of party "regularity," Senator Foraker sets an example which some of his misguided colored allies would do well to copy. The office holders who stand by the administration are not less trustworthy than those who draw salaries from the government and then "cuss out" the people's chosen administrators. Neither Don C. Farnsworth's alleged "harl" nor Tom Taggart's proverbial smile seems to be able to entice the colored voters to try a sample of Bryanism this year. The most powerful field glass fails to disclose how followers of Senator Foraker figure out that voting for Bryan is an effective way of "standing by" the aggressive Ohioan. As a matter of hard, business sense, the thoughtful colored man will lend his aid to the party that can best be trusted to bring about or continue favorable business conditions. In the language of a distinguished statesman, "It is a condition not a theory that confronts us." The battle is "on!" The black man is a Republican because of the evil he seeks to avoid, as well as for the benefits he expects to gain. We are strong believers in retribution. It comes in various ways, but it will never fail. In the Springfield matter the business men and other taxpayers who were loath to raise sentiments against the mob will have to pay the cost of it by loss in trade and the levying of increased tax to meet the expenses caused by the ravages of the mob. In another form, it is shown that a white woman who was indicted as being a leader in the demolishing a restaurant, while being arrested swallowed some poisonous stuff and died before she reached the jail. One fellow who assisted in the lynching of William Donegan has declared that he is going insane, which has been verified. There are other cases that we do not hear about. -Savannah Timet. The idea of Negroes leaving the Republican Party and going over to the Democratic Party to organize Bryan and Kern clubs is more than ridiculous. If I could not be a Democrat without being a "jim crow" Democrat, I would not be one. If you are going over, why don't you go over and join the party in the clubs with the white Democrats. No, you can't do that, so you have to organize you a Negro Democratic Bryan and Kern Club. That is a "jim crow" Democrat. The Negroes in the Republican Party don't have this to do. They join the Republican clubs where the white, the black and yellow race all join together. We do not blame the Democratic Party from setting the Negroes off in a Negro club. That is right. Keep them in a Negro club. That after your money and if you don't give it to them they would steal it if they were in the clubs with you. Keep them in the "jim crow". No honest Negro in the South or Southwest who can be trusted and respected will ever desert the Republican Party. The Negro is as naturally a Republican as a duck is a water fowl. With respect to Mr. Bryan and the Negroes very little need be said. They regard Mr. Bryan as a great man. But they know they must take his party of slavery, the party of Calhoun and Toombs, and not the party of Jefferson and Jackson. They would have to take the policies he advocates, which mean an attack upon business, the wrecking of a business, or the assault upon the courts, the erection, of the god of classism, the return of want in the place of plenty. But Mr. Bryan is a Nebraskan, and will make a fight for his home. This will be his greatest battle, for it is the last despairing hope of a doomed warrior. Do your duty on the tst of September. Place the best men on the ticket, not because they are black or white, but because they are white. Remember that the strength of democracy will be arrayed against them. And you must go in to sin. To weaken the chain at any point is to make the fight a doubtful one—Omala Enterprise. The Grand Jury at Springfield is grinding jury indictments against those who participated in the riots. The soldiers have forever put a quietus on the mob that will forever be a lesson to the ignorant class of whites whose sole aim is to rob, plunder, steal and mob innocent Negroes. As an excuse for such action, they trump the grievance of a nervous temperament who cries some Negro attempted to assault her. We have failed to find or hear of but very few high-class women ever being insulted by colored men, but on the other hand we know and hear of plenty of white men insulting colored women. Furthermore, it is a notorious fact that thousands are living in open adultery with them. In the face of all this, the white pupil and press is silent in the grieve. We know no difference whether you be white or black, live in Japan, China or America, justice will sooner or later overtake the transgressor. -Topeka Plaindealer. The assuming of the responsibility by President Roosevelt for the dismissal of the Negro troops has been no surprise to those who have kept themselves informed on the beginning of the affair. Mr. Taft acted merely as an administrator of the President. He issued no order himself responding to the dismissal of the Negro battalion, but otherwise held up the Presidential order till the President could be communicated with. Upon strict and unbiased investigation into the Brownies matter, it would appear that Mr. Roosevelt was not prompted by any unjust motive in the position he took with the Negro soldiers. The gallant dash of the colored battalion had won unreserved acknowledgement it is to be presumed that at the time of their troubles in Texas that they were pet in his esteem. To shoot up a town is not peculiar alone to colored troops; neither is a dismissal in disgrace a punishment reserved to be used only on black men. The record is that during the late Civil War, the Army of the Republic R.E. L. established a direct precedent for President Roosevelt because of a similar act by white soldiers. This does not, however, destroy the notice that Mr. Roosevelt's procedure smacks at the American sense of justice, yet the race has been unduly incensed in the entire affair—Columbia (S. C.) Sun. The Springfield, Ill. race is to be regretted. Not one man in a war that sand would have believed that such a thing could be outcured at the home of Great Lincoln. One one thought that if there was any place in these United States where the Negro would receive a fair and just trial, that place was Springfield, Ill. All have been disappointed, and again it has been clearly demonstrated that what the Negro in entry locality needs is something with which to protect his home on just such occasions. Ston building pianos and organs on time and buy a goodchester and a home with a ammunition. Have them over your door and use them when the sacredness of your home is being invaded by an unruly mob. Had it been known that every Negro in Springfield owned a Winchester and a hundred rounds of ammunition, there would have been in Springfield race war, as the class of white heatheats who lead nobs are the most cowardly lot of seconddegree on God's green earth. Man who has not the nerve to present Men who have pot the nerve to resent an insult by day become veritable ter- runs by night when surrounded by a big mob of their kind, especially when they know the parties to be attacked and abused are unarmed. But once let them know that you have a Winchester in your house and they at once give it a wide birth. Protect your homes with your life. Don't do it boastily or menacingly, but do it for the same cause because it is the same disease because it is your sworn and sacred duty. —Hutchinson (Kan.) Journal. Springfield (Ill.) has now taken the center of the stage as the scene of the worst Negro-white outburst the country has seen since the riots in Atlanta. It seems peculiarly singular that the recent troubles should not only have taken place in the capital city of Illinois, right under the very nose of its governor, but should also have been the city most intimately associated with our great Abraham Lincoln, whose great aim in life was to eradicate inter-race conflicts. The Negro, the very man who was accused of assaulting a white woman, and whose supposed deed precipitated the tragedy and necessitated the presence of 5,500 militiamen, has produced an alibi, to which ascribed the names of whites as well as black witnesses, to prove his innocence. As is quite unanimously the case with such mob disorders, violence moves from the very beginning along channels where it is least deserved. No adequate cause for the trouble need be sought. Even granted that horrible outrages had been committed, there could be guilty doubts in Springfield that to the guilty doubts in Springfield that the strictest justice at the hands of a jury. In perfect fairness may we say that the depreciations of the lynch law and the mob are without section. Such outbreaks serve as a special license to the worst elements of both races in all sections of the country. Mob rule has become a national disgrace and the blood of the innocent cries out against our boasted civilization. Both races must educate themselves to seeing the utter useless of such practices. Already a colored minister of Chicago has taught our races, urging a national law and order of a Good Citizen's League among the Negroes that shall fight this hawless element among the blacks. A similar movement among the whites who, with all boasted superiority, have shown as much lack of self-control, would be equally praiseworthy. The work of reform must begin on wholesale lines, without racial or sectional differences. The goal of such superiority to govern, he must show self-control to the basic passions in order to justify his claim—Florida Standard Union. A Russian Jew inspired and even headed the riotious mob that caused so much consternation to prevail at Springfield, Ill., a few days ago, to suppress which it required 10,000 soldiers with bayonet fixed and with orders to shoot and shoot to kill unless the mob relented from its deadly work. A Russian Jew, who, perhaps, had himself fled from the Russian Empire to escape sudden death, which would have been wreaked upon him had the Russians been able to reach this land of the free and home of the brave and finding here a people similarly looked upon as he was in Russia at once joins hand with the dominant people and manages to head a mob to strike terror into the hearts of the downtrodden people in America just as it had been done in his heart in his native land. How soon man forgets from whence he himself came. If there he any people in the whole wide world that should stand for the rights of all men regardless of race, color or any condition it ought to be the Russian Jew. the civil war has had that repeatedly appeal to the Russian government and the United States has thrown open her gates and doors as an asylum for them and thousands and even millions have taken advantage of the kind and have left their homes and came thither and settled and for the most part made acceptable citizens, but after years of freedom some of them seem to quite forget their previous conditions and are just as ready and willing to head a mob to murder and burn another ill-fated people as the Russians were to administer similar vengeance on them. Down in New York a few years ago the Jews, it is said, were first and foremost in the anti-Negro riots in that city, it transpired that their number had made their rise at Springfield and that man mean that hundreds of Russian Jews were to be found in the thickest of the fire and fight slaying a helpless people. They knew well how to do the work as they themselves had gone through with it at the hands of the Russians. What manner of man is this?—Seattle Republican. Hospital Work at Columbia, S. C. Among the visitors to New York who called at THE Aer office last week were Dr. Matilda A. Evaps and Dr. Harvey Van Buren of Columbia, S. C. Dr Evans is the treasurer and medical director of Taylor Lane Hospital, and her work is highly endorsed by many leading citizens of Columbia. The following facts were furnished as to the institution and its progress: "This institution was founded in 1901 and incorporated under the Laws of the State of South Carolina. The hospital is doing much good in relieving suffering among the sick and is also training nurses for professional service and usefulness. During the seven years of its existence, the Taylor Lane Hospital has done a wonderful amount under difficult. Its small capacity is always crowded, it being the institution within a radius of 120 miles where colored people can be cared for while sick or injured. Three thousand patients, most of whom were emergencies or other operations, have been treated in the hospital since it was established. "The present building is an old residence of antebellum days without modern conveniences and much dilapidated. The larger rooms are used for wards and many times more patients are cooled in them than they can conveniently accommodate. "A lot has been secured for the new hospital site. A large building is an absolute necessity, for which plans and specifications have been made. The building with equipment will cost $40,000. Several thousand dollars have been subscribed and two thousand have been the building if significant funds can be raised in the fall, as we will not be able to hold the present quarters another winter." CORTEINE-CANANEA COPPER, CO. I promised in my last article to introduce to the readers of The Age this week one of the most unique copper companies in the world. I believe that such a distinction belongs to the Greene-Cananea Copper Company. This company was organized in 1908, under the laws of the State of Minnesota for the purpose of taking over the properties of the Cananea Central and the Greene Consolidated Copper Companies. It has capital stock of $80,000,000, par value, of which $40,000,000 stock was exchanged for the 600,000 outstanding shares of the Cananea Central Copper Company and thirty million dollars of its stock was exchanged for the entire capital stock (1,000,000 shares) of the Greene Consolidated Copper Company. This left in the treasury of the Greene-Cananea Copper Company ten million dollars of treasury stock to be used for additional properties or to be distributed among stockholders. Back in 1908, for the purpose of distributing the Greene-Cananea Copper Company, then, are the properties of the Cananea Central and the Greene Consolidated Copper Companies. But what is back of those companies? First, let us consider the Cananea Central Copper Company. The Cananea Central Copper Company owns the entire stock of the San Pedro Copper Company and owns the majority of the stock of the Cananea Duluth Copper Company, which in turn owns all the capital of the San Pedro Copper Company. About 25,000 tons of wet ore were reported to have been taken from the San Pedro Copper Company in the course of development work, giving returns of nearly $100,000 in copper, gold and silver. It is reported that $444,592.02 has been expended on the San Pedro Copper Company for mine development. In addition to the above properties, the Cananea Central Copper Company, its Cananea Duluth Copper Company, $882.10 in cash, $619,267.52 in loans, and $170,170 of bills received. The same report showed 'that during the 17 preceding months, 4,497 feet of development work had been done on the San Pedro property and, 4,852.6 feet on the Cananea Development Company property. At present we understand that the Cananea Central is producing about 700 tons of copper and about 10,140 pounds of less than 14,000 pounds. With copper at 13 cents a pound this ought to net the company at least $644,000 yearly. The Greene Consolidated Copper Company owns practically all the stock of the Cananea Consolidated Copper Company and the 'American Copper Company, which are Mexican corporations holding title to the various mining and landed properties controlled by the parent company. The mining lands consist of 40 miles and prospects in the Cananea Mountains of Northern Mexico, and contains 19,830 acres. Its principal mines are the Cobra Grande, Veta Grande, Esperanza, Copote and Puerticitos. Prior to its absorption by the Greene-Cananea Copper Company, it consolidated with about 25,000 feet of underground development work, had produced about 114,000 tons of returnable fine copper and had paid a total of $4,994,000 in dividends. The Greene Consolidated owns five and one-half miles of standard gauge railroad and, has the controlling interest in the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre & Pacific R. R. Co., owning 156 miles of railroad. It also owns 485,000 acres of timber and grazing land and 51 percent of the stock of the Sierra Madre Land and Lumber Company, which owns 2,232,000 acres of timber land, having a stumpage of 425,000,000 feet of the timber of yellow pine. Such are the properties that are back of the $60,000,000 capitalization of the Greene-Cananea Copper-Company. If consideration of the mines owned by the company be left out, experts say, the timber on the lands owned and controlled by the Greene-Cananea is worth nearly the entire capitalization of the company. From this it appears that the stock of the 'Greene-Cananea Copper Company at $11.50 per share is cheap, very cheap. I believe that this stock can be bought and held for at least $18, and probably per share, uninsistently recommend purchases that are looking for an investment that is worth while. Vardaman Is at His Old Work. Having done all he could while Governor of Mississippi to enbitter the relation between the black and white races and to put as many obstacles as he could in the way of those who are trying to make the best of a difficult situation, James K. Vardaman is energetically continuing his activities along both lines by publishing at Jackson The Issue, a curious periodical, half way between a newspaper and a magazine, Judging from a copy of The Issue which has reached us, Mr. Vardaman writes most of it himself, and naturally it vividly illustrates his peculiarities of opinion and expression. I mother words. The Issue is a highly incendiary sheet, constantly endowing to turn prejudice into hatred and hatred into violence. It not only justifies but counsels the lynching of Negro criminals, and it even goes so far as to say that, whether it is right or wrong, when the guilty Negro escapes the lynchers, any Negro who comes handy will do in his place. Lest we be suspected of exaggeration, we will call Vargahan, Vardhanman's paper, which is the same thing, on this point. After expressing what amounts to approval of the Springfield riots and its regret that Lincoln wasn't there to see them. The Issue says: We might just as well recognize the inevitable. Negroes and white people cannot live together in the same country on terms of political and social equality. The white man who not share savegerighty with the Negro long. Political equality produces in a Negro an abounding hope for social equality—the hope for social equality leads to the commission of rapes and other flagitious acts. Or the hope to hang and burn the Negro, and he cannot find the Negro who committed the crime he will hang and burn some other Negro because the other Negro sympathizes with the criminal. Whether from a sincere obsession or because it is the one road he knows to political preferment, Mr. Vardaman de- --- votes practically the whole of his paper to the exploitation of the Niger as an enemy and a danger. There is some incidental support of — racism, and some virulent denunciation of such Democrats as Gen. Luke Wright, who are advocating the election of Mr. Taft, but the rest is all a screen against the Niger when it isn't, as often, a screen against the "nigger" — and the possibility of elevating and elevating the black man vehemently denied. That the publication of such a paper fits does same harm is indisputable, but it does. Southern newspapers are the peril of such leadership, and a wholly different way, that one may confidently hope that the influence of The Issue is small and constantly decreasing—New York Times. "Ain't it awful, Mabel," was the mournful cry of sixteen letter carriers who were sent up in the wilds of Williamsbridge one day last week. A primary fight in that district flooded the branch post-office with paper matter and thus the reinforcements from Station G. "Goatville," "country woods," and other uncomplimentary names were used by the recruits in describing that growing section of Gotham. It is suggested that Mr. J. B. Wood employ a private bondsmian by the month, it would simplify matters and do away with a great deal of bother to him. And it may be further suggested that the two warring factions at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church would take their dispute to The Hague for settlement. Mr. Charles Leo Brown, Jr., the son of Rev. C. L. Brown, local preacher of St. Mark's M. E. Church, has sufficiently recovered from the operation which he underwent to be able to canvass a hair preparation. After an absence from this city of some sixteen or seventeen years in the South he expresses a preference for the sunny land Mr. Brown taught school while awaived, and says that he prefers to be Professor Brown in the South than just plain everyday Mr. Brown in New York. "They are off" sure enough at the skating rink and all the neighborhood of Forty-sixth street and Eighth avenue know it, too. A band of music playing afternoon and evening attracts the attention of passersby who see the gay patrons glide around the rink in the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty company Building. d. B. Pursely and Al. Roberts are the proprietors and they average attendance of two hundred daily. The price from fifty cents to thirty-five has increased the popularity of the rink. From present indications this bids fair to be a very much patronized resort this winter. An incident which shows the shortsightedness of some people occurred last Wednesday evening at Fifty-ninth street and Columbus avenue. A Broadway car, going north was about to stop on the north side of the street, when a colored women in her harry and excitement secure a seat tripped and fell sprawling before the Quinney reached the car. A Mr. Brown colored expressman who has sandy hair and beard rushed toward yelling at the top of his voice for the conductor to stop the car as he wanted to have him arrested. He wished to hold the car conductor responsible for the mishap although the woman had tripped on the street, not having even toned the car. The woman was not seriously hurt when she set up and go to her home. Thus the important Mr. Brown missed an opportunity to appear as star witness in a possible law suit. Among other visitors at Long Branch last week wore Messrs. "Dick" Abernathy and Frank St. Clair. Oh, yeah they had a good time all right, if you know the boys you can't imagine that things were slow where they appeared. Dr. Thompson, who is told to enjoy a pretty fair practice up in Mt. Vernon, had his attention called to the lucrative town of New Heller when one Dr. C. P. McClendon lined up there. Dr. Thompson immediately thereafter secured a branch office near the newcomer and lately he has sent for a bother and installed him there. The rivalry in medicine is getting to be as keen as the competition in selling tacks. One of the pleasing sidebirds of the doctors' convention was a young colored man in charge of one of the most important exhibits at the exhibition in Plaza Assembly Hall. He was John Dixon, who has been with the Van Houten & Ten Broeck Company for several years and in that time has, so conscientiously attended to his duties as porter and has so won the confidence of his peers that they promoted him and placed him in charge of the big X-ray and high-frequency machine which attracted so much attention. The business done and the interest displayed by the visiting doctors in the explanation given by Dr Dixon showed that he was thoroughly familiar with his business. Rev. M. W. Gilbert filled the pulpit at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church last Sunday morning and preached one of his secular sermons. His remarks were instructive and truly elfying, but we believe his congregation or at least part of it are not altogether in accord with all that he said. For instance he stated that a lot of noise, shouting and general stifhance did not necessarily signify the presence of the holy spirit, and went on to say that such noisy demonstration of spiritual joy were not only uncalled for but were not the true manifestation of the spirit. Now it is well known that a certain portion of that particular congregation are shouters from away back, some having had reputations for such doings in the land. And such views to be publically expressed by the pastor will not to any great extent lessen the shouting and grammatical exercises usually indulged in, and will only increase the unpleasantness in the church. _‘ POLITICAL FIGHT ‘Cc. a.

Two hundred and fifty white and col: “ored voters have declared their intention of voting for him in the primaries Sep- tember 20, while it is fair to say, that the masses of the considerable colored wote in the district favor him, Neither candidate will listen to any talk of his withdrawal, but in their obstinacy. the colored people are losing a splendid ‘opportunity to send one of their. num- ber to the Legisiature. But this is customary among Boston fegrocs. Rare indeed his been the oc- sion when the colored people have Brited on a colored candidate. Rival jegro factions and organizations have ‘always played the “rule or ruin” game, They unfortunately have not reached the compromise stage of political devel- opment, This account to-day for Mayor Hibbard’s failure to appoint at least one more colored man and accounts in gencral for the poor political Rerition and disorganization of Boston legrocs. NX commendable effort to bring together the rivals of the South End Roosevelt Republican Club, Mr, Clarence Robinson, president, and the Charles Summer. Republican Club, Mr. Charles Seales, president, is being made by ek leaders of the district—Messrs. George N. Rainey, John W. White and George Lattimore.

WALTON "THE RED MOON" Don't attend a performance of "The Red Moon" and expect to see what is commonly termed an ordinary coon show," for if you do you will be given a big surprise party. Just whether you will be agreeably surprised or otherwise will be due to you to decide—will be a matter of individual taste. If you believe in the advancement of the colored performer on the stage and you desire to see the colored members of the theatrical profession accomplish much, then you will like Cole and Johnson's new show. In many respects "The Red Moon" is one of the most ambitious efforts ever presented by colored stars. Viewing it solely from a dramatic standpoint, it is to be regarded even more seriously than any colored show that has, been produced. Then, again, it ranks high as a singing show—which is not necessary to relate when it is known that with the company this season are three good soprano singers—Abbie Mitchell, Anna Cook and Fannie Wise. On the program "The Red Moon" is styled "a musical comedy sensation in red and black in three acts," book and lyrics by Bob Cole; music by J. Rosamond; additional lyrics by Charles A. Hunter, and additional music by James Reese Europe, the musical director. It was originally stated that the new production would be a comic opera. While this is not true, there are times when the singing borders on the comic opera and in a pleasing manner. Nowadays, when one goes on Broadway and finds that the majority of white shows pay more attention to scenic effects and costumes than to singing, it is a pleasure to attend a performance given by a first-class colored show and note how marked attention is given to singing. It is to be doubted that there is a show in New York at this writing that is the equal of "The Red Moon," when it comes to singing. 100 Surely, such musical shows as the "Mimic World," "Algeria," and "Fluffy Ruffles," can't be put up for comparison. Cole and Johnson this season have given no little attention to the staging of the songs, several of which should be hits—notably, "Checkers," "Ada," "Bleeding Moon," "Big Red Shawl," "On the Road to Monteray," "Sambo," "I've Lost My Teddy Bear," and "Cupid Is An Indian Pickinnyin." The staging of "Ada," "On the Road to Monteray," and "Cupid Is An Indian Pickinnyin," deserve special comment. Special attention has also been given to the scenery. A more pretentious stage setting than that in the second act would be hard to find. "The Red Moon" brings to light one thing Cole and Johnson have at last learned, and that is they must give the public what it wants and not what they think the public should have. They will be far more successful financially in their new show than in "The Shoofly Regiment." Not because "The Red Moon" is the better, for it is not. "The Shoofly Regiment" told a much better story than "The Red Moon," but it did not cater to the tastes of the theatre-goers. Most of the colored people liked "The Shoofly Regiment," but many whites did not care for it, being prejudiced against seeing Negro soldiers, but when a show is put out to make money it must produce plays that will be liked by all classes. That is what Cole and Johnson are doing this season. In so doing, however, they have not departed from their attempt to show the race to an advantage. Very adroitly does Bob Cole show the characteristics of two races, the Negro and the Indian. In one he depicts the high regard the Negro has for law and order, and his desire to seek education; in the other is shown the Indian, who has no respect for the white man's laws, and who prefers to roam the woods to living in a civilized community. A satire on Negro society is also drawn in the last act, in which Bill Gibson, saloonkeeper and the richest man in town, is kept from society, although his wife and six daughters are social leaders, and he furnishes all the money. The satire brings out a nice bit of comedy. The cast of characters in the new production is a strong one, and it is necessary that it should be, considering the large number of dramatic situations in the show, situations that at times become rather dramatic and would become even tense if comedy was not injected at the opportune time, As "Silas Brown," Bob Cole has a role in which he is very funny. He has written himself a part in the new show that is much better than the one played by him in "The Shoofly Regiment." However; it was not necessary for him to resurrect the "hungry type" of Negro to get langs. The role could be played without the hungry feature (if it can be called a feature) and yet make good. It appears that in the majority of colored shows the comedian has to be either hungry or "dead broke." If "The Red Moon" did not show marked advancement in the Negro show business no mention would be made of the "hungry character," but as the conedians have taken themselves more seriously than ever, the writer is forced to do likewise. In a dialogue with Rosamond Johnson, Bob Cole, puts in a line for the sake of a laugh that could be easily omitted. The dialogue: Rosamond Johnson: "It's a great chance to get some bear meat." Bob Cole: "You mean it's a great chance to get some coon meat." Of course, the laugh comes from the white portion-of the audience, not the colored. As the stage is an educator, ```markdown ``` J. ROSAMOND JOHNSON we should seek to omit all things that we would not like to happen to us in every day life. The author of the lines would become highly insulted if called a "coon" in public and yet for the sake of a laugh applies the word to himself with apparently good grace. J. Rosamond Johnson has made re-markable improvement in his acting. He is not such an intense lover this season and not so stagey. As "Plunk Green," he proves a very acceptable foil for his partner and seems to be getting better at each performance. He is also in very good voice, and his singing of "Big Red Shawl" is very pleasing. Abbie Mitchell lives up to her reputation of possessing an over abundance of personal magnetism and charms her audience whenever she is on the stage. Heretofore she has appeared in shows to sing a number or so and then make her exit, but in "The Red Moon" in the character of Minnehaha, she has lines galore to speak, and what's more she speaks them. She has several songs all of which she sings in a manner that convinces all she feels and understands what she is singing. Arthur Talbot is a young man who bears watching. He was discovered by Cole and Johnson several years ago in one of the local dramatic companies. In the old show as the professor he played the part creditably, but it did not afford him the opportunity that does "John Lowdog," the Indian chief. One would think that he was really an Indian, so true does he play his character. Another member of the Cole and Johnson company who continues to show improvement is Theo. Pankey, who is an educated brave in "The Red Moon." There are times, however, when he becomes too melodramatic and should tone down a little. He should also watch minute details, such as in the first act, when he opens a letter, addressed to him he knows all about what's in it before he reads a line: Surely he is not a fortune teller! Anna Cook has but one song, but she does justice to it. There was a time when the writer, accused the sweet singer of lacking in temperament, but no such charge can be made this season. She also does effective work in the ensemble numbers. Sam Lucas, the dean of the profession, Wesley Jenkens, Henry Gant and Benny Jones, form a quartette that is hard to beat—that is, for making fun. Whenever they are on the stage they are sure to bring a laugh. Benny Jones, the new member, has shown that he is a dancer, very good eccentric, and will, therefore, be able to keep in fast company. There is one suggestion that the writer thinks in order and that is Henry Gant, as "Bill Gibson," does not necessarily have to take his shoes off in the last act. The laugh it brings is not worth the effort. Andrew Tribble, who plays the best wench character of them all, is as funny as ever. In the third act he wears a sheath gown that would make any of the show girls on the Rialto feel small. He has a good song ni "I Ain't Had No Lovin' In a Long, Long Time." Mollie Dill, as "Amanda Gibson," is very natural in her part, and Elizabeth Williams, as "Lucretia Martin," is again doing a nice bit of character acting. While Fanny Wise does not have many lines after the first act, she sings another bear song that is going to be one of the song hits of the show. Edgar Connor's singing of "Samba," assisted by Daisy Brown, Leona Marshall and chorus, was productive of more encores Monday evening at the performance of "The Red Moon," at the Majestic Theatre, in Jersey City. M. H. than any other vocal number. Herbert Sutton, who is singing "Checkers," is showing development. His stage presence is much better. Frank Brown is in good voice and is heard in one number. Last but not least is the chorus, and when the female contingent is referred to it can be said that "The Red Moon" is carrying a beauty chorus this season. In the chorus are: Mayme Butler, Lulu Coleman, Bessie Tribble, Bessie Simma, Blanche Deas, Tillie Smith. The Ada Girls—Marie Young, Pauline Hackney, Tootsie Delk, Marie Lucas, Mattie Harris, Millie Dean. The Dancing Picka—Daisy Brown, Leona Marshall, Marion Potter, Lottie Gee, Pearl Taylor, Bessie Brown. College Boys—Frank DeLyons, Frank Brown, W. E. Phelpa, Herbert Sutton, Robt. Young, W. H. Watson. The Policemen—W. H. Tunatill, Wmi. Watson, Samuel Craig. "The Red Moon" is a brand new show, and is therefore a little rough in spots; it is at least fifteen minutes too long, but such things will be taken care of in time. There is also too much noise in the finale of the first act. For the sake of orchestral arrangements they have made harmony a minor feature. Then there are so many counter melodies being sung by the leading soprano singers that the effect is not what it should be. With the orchestra playing forte, the chorus singing one melody and the principals singing different melodies, the number ends too noisy and all sweetness is lost. The ensemble should be toned down. There could also be a better finale to the second act. It is not strong enough. The Indians dance a war dance for a few seconds only and then drop to the ground with exhaustion, which is not natural. It will be some time before "The Red Moon" comes to New York, but the writer predicts that when the defects are remedied and the show plays in Manhattan it will be a hit. Let them book Cole and Johnson at the Bijou Theater this season; as they did last summer, and you will hear of a colored show playing on Broadway for an indefinite run. RUCKER'S MINSTRELS IN HARLEM Good Show Being Presented at Family Theater—To Make It a Stock Company. If you want to see a good minstrel first part go to the Family Theatre, 125th street, between Park and Lexington avenues, where John Rucker and a merry minstrel bunch reign supreme. The company opened Monday for two weeks, but the management has decided to retain the show indefinitely. It has been a long time since New York has seen a real minstrel show like the one now playing at the Family Theatre, and no telling how long it has been since a colored minstrel show paraded the streets of New York, as do Rucker's minstrels each day in Harlem. If the proper support is given the minstrel show Manager Boyer intends to turn the Family Theatre into a colored theatre and organize a stock company with John Rucker at the head. It would not be surprising JOHN RUCKER to hear of several managers making a bid to take the show on the road, Hurtig and Seamon included. There is the usual olio and after piece, but it is the minstrel first part that makes the show a winner. Then there is the New Amsterdam Orchestra, which, under the direction of J. T. Brym, furnishes the best music that ever has been played in the theatre. With the company are some clever performers. In the minstrel first part Billy Ward and Loyd Henderson are the end men and help Rucker make the people laugh. As good a minstrel man as Billy Ward is, and considering how long he has been in the business, it is surprising that he does not know how to "make up." He should use a dryer cork, as his face impresses one that he is constantly perspiring. Ward sings "Somebody Lied" very creditably. Loyd Henderson has a song in the minstrel first part, but he does some of his best work with Rucker in the after piece. There is a quartette with the company composed of Martin Alexander, Clarence Chase, Jack Johnson and last Sat run. The good is George Wilson. No one knows where they came frogs, but they should make good as a comedy quartette out East, for they are really funny. Dan Franier is with the company and sings "Love Me As I Like to be Loved" in a way that calls for emocea. James Worlds appears in the first part in the song "I Wonder How the Old Folks Are at Home?" and is compelled to make several "Singer building" notes a number of times before, he is allowed to sit. De Forrest, the female impersonator, sings "When You Wore Your Pintore" in the first part rather effectively. However, he should use only the last number in the olio instead of two songs, as he has a cold and his voice is not in the best condition to make high notes. The best act in the olio is that of John W. Cooper, ventriloquist. Some of the white ventriloquists who appear at Hammerstein's are no better. In fact, if he was given an opportunity in vaudeville he would make good. Frank Montgomery sings "Any Old Place in Yankeeeland Is Good Enough for Me" in the last act with chorus. W. H. Ray, Edward Tolliver and John Grant also assist in the fun-making. This week there are four women with the show—Cleo Desmond, who sings "Red, Red Rose," and can do it justice; Isola Ringgold, the cyclonic dancer; Minnie Robinson, who is always lively on the stage, and Rosetta Faulk, whose soprano voice stands out in the chorus. As for the star, John Rucker, a better minstrel man could not have been selected. He sings two songs—"Ephraham Johnson" and "Dinner Is Ready in the Dining-room." He has already made himself a favorite at the little Harlem playhouse, and, according to the management, Rucker and a big company will remain at the Family Theatre all winter. PEKIN HAS NEW STOCK CO. New Members Make Initial Bow in South Chicago Labor Day, CHICAGO, September 9.—Robert T. Motts has made good his word and has given the people of South Chicago another good stock company for the Pekin Theatre. Labor Day the new stock company made its initial bow, and the reception accorded the new members was very cordial. By popular demand, the moving pictures have been retained, opening and closing, each performance. The new lobby has been completed and has added greatly to the convenience of the patrons and also to the beauty of the house. OPEN SEASON IN BOONTON. "Black Patti Troubadours" Have Started on Thirtieth Year. BoONTON, N. J., September 7.—The "Black Patti Troubadours" opened their thirteenth season at the Harris Lyceum Saturday evening to a capacity house. The performance was the best ever given here. Sissieratta Jones was the stellar attraction and was in excellent RUCKER voice. The comedians and dancers were well received. The company plays York, Pa., September 9; Martinsburg, W. Va., September 10, and Hinton, W. Va., September 12. Company Playing This Week in New Brunswick, Atlantic City and Trenton. RED BANK, September 7—The Smart Set opened the season in this city Saturday evening to a large house. S. H. Dudley was at home in his role as the black politician.

Monday the company played Brunswick, Tuesday and Wednesday, Atlantic City and the rest of the week, Trenton. "BANDANA LAND" IN BOSTON. Company Opens at Ophebium Theater for Indielective Stay. Boston, September 8. Williams and Walker opened at the Orpheum Theatre last Saturday evening for an indefinite run. That "Bandanna Land" has made good is beyond any question of a doubt. The Majestic Trio opened Sunday for a week in Minneapolis. a week in Minneapolis. Alberta Brodie, of Brodie and Brodie, has returned to Germany. The set will open in Honore September 16. Mamie Furber, Gertrude Delaney, James Burgess, T. Ray and Thad Wilkinson are at Happyland this week. George Reese continues to give a show at South Beach. With him are Ella Jones, Ellen Taylor, Mabel Richardson, Arlene Thomas, Lile Hansen and Louise Hopkins. The Dixie Serenaders are making good at Keith's, Philadelphia. RIVAL FOR MAXIMS. Cafe of the Yown of Women Walta to Paris, Sept. 7.—A new place where the Americans and the French may pass their evenings in Paris will soon be opened on the Rue d'Antin by A. Nilson Fysher, composer of the waltz which is the present craze in Paris, "Les Serments des Femmes." The place, which is now being arranged, is smaller even than the supper room at Maxim's. At the opening, which has been set for September 17, Maurice Farkoa, well known to American audiences, has promised to sing. Fysher himself will sing, and those who come are ex-jaquit au joi and usquan ou pardaimment themselves. Ethel Levey will also be there. BREAK EVEN IN DOUBLE HEADER. A large number witnessed the doubleheader at the Polo Grounds Labor Day between the Royal Giants of Brooklyn and the Philadelphia Giants. At two oclock the two teams appeared on the diamond in good trim. The Philadelphia boys scored in the first innings of the first game and succeeded in shutting out the Royals until the fifth, when they made one run on a base hit and one on a sacrifice, making two for the inning. The game went steadily along with little trouble thereafter until the ninth, when the Philadelphiaians went to the bat and rattled the Royals to the extent of letting in two runs. At the close of the ninth inning the score stood even, making it necessary to play the tenth, which brought the score up 4 to 3 in favor of the Royal Giants. The second game did not have the vim displayed by the players that was exhibited in the first. The batteries were changed and the Philadelphiaians were first up. Thompson, who won a pitching record Saturday for the Royals, went in and in trying to steady himself on the continuous buns of the Phillies threw the ball wild on four successive occasions and let in five runs before a single man was out. He was then retired and Buckley took his place. Buckley's swift balls got the Phillies fanning, three going in succession. When the Royals went in Buckley went second to the bat and brought in two runs, having knocked the ball clear over to the Eighth avenue entrance. The crowd then reached a high pitch of enthusiasm, it being the first time the ball had passed the players on either side during the afternoon. In the entire game each man played his part well, with few exceptions. Monroe, whose fame is wide, has lost some of his old agility and failed to make those famous slides to second, where he always got pinched. "Home Run" Johnson scored a three-base hit, his failure to get home being caused by a lame leg. The second game closed in the seventh inning with a score of 7 to 4 in favor of the Phillies. The Royals have picked up in the last month and the two teams can be credited with playing an excellent game. The last half was played a little slow, but the exciting moments took away the monotony. The professional and business men of the colored race were represented as well as the sporting fraternity. Arrival at Hotel Lincoln, Arryme, L. L. Mme. M. E. Swanson, New York; Miss Claria M.

KANSAS CITY. Mo., September 4.—On August 25 and 26 the Rt. Rev. Abraham Grant, D. D., had a tri-anniversary in which he celebrated his sixtieth natal day, his thirty-fifth year in the ministry and his twentieth year in the episcopal church. The celebration took place at Allen Chapel, Tenth and Charlotte streets, and will be long remembered by all who participated. On Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock a vast concourse of people assembled in the spacious and beautiful auditorium of Alcatel, with a large crowd of all man who had honored them, who had brought honor to his race in church, in State and in educational interests. It was one of the greatest events in the history of the church and professional Theologians, householders and professional men all mingled, vied with each other in making it the grandest event of the win cities thou art better. The princely, eloquent, consecrated episcopate, Bishop H. B. Parks, was present as presiding officer. He filled the position with all dignity, and really feel that he graced the institution as few newly-elected bishop could do. After the pealing of the grand pipe organ, under the touch of Prof. R. G. Jackson, of Western University, and the burst of song by his magnificent chair, Dr. J. Jackson, of Episcopal District, Rev. M. S. Bryant, invoked the blessings of the Most High upon the guest of honor, Bishop Abraham Grant, and all assembled. The devotional exercises being over, Rev. J. H. Edwarda, D. D., pastor at Popka, read, and times of "Life," and "Times of Bishop Grant." Said he, among many good things: "Bishop Grant, the man of humble birth, gained his knowledge, not so much in the established schools of the land, but by close application." This excellent paper was but a signal, but one of the greatest of literary feasts. But on all such occasions the women are always to be heard from and it is well they should, for what man was ever 'great without some assistance', as we assessed his greatness? Mrs. Anna Holmes, of Kanaus City, Kansas, ascended the rostrum bringing 'Greetings from The Women's Mite Missionary Society of the Kanaus City, Iowa', after welcoming the of the Women's Mite Missionary Society in Kansas, she showed that with one stroke of the pen Kanaus was generous enough to be the mother of all the others in the missionary institution and that if Kanaus has attained any success it was because of the influence of the strong personality of Bishop Grant in the work, and then, in a few chosen words, she presented Bishop Grant a token from the members of the society. Dr. M. O. Ricketts was introduced and spoke of "Bishop Grant as a Mason, things he thought did not look the orator, but who can deny that the soft-voiced man is such? Said he, "Bishop Grant is a man among men, he does not see him, he does not meet them. He has proven it thus while a member of the fraternity. While Grand Master of Texas he gladdened many widows' and orphan parts by establishing Masonic orphan funds." The echoes of applause had hardly time to die away before the clear voice of the famed preached, lecturer and traveler, Rev. W. S. Brooks, D. D., of Des Moines, Iowa, was firing the audience with its eloquence and logic, a kind of grandmother of the Commons of the A. M. E. Church, he reached his climax saying, "Glindstone rose to heights from excellent surroundings, but Bishop Grant from poor surroundings. Gladstone from the mansion; Grant from the ox-cart. But simiur have been their lives. Gladstone reached the highest in state; Grant the highest in the city; Grant the chok his seat, amidst demeaning applause, that he won for himself, another laurel. Rev. J. D. Barksdale, D. D., Presiding Elder of Cape Girardeau District, was next introduced. He proceeded, not centering on one book, but on a scholar by reputation, began to pour a steady stream of erudition and subtle logic into the minds of the people. Discussing "Bishop Grant, the churchman," he said among many people that "the beginning of life of the great churchman in whose honor we are now assembled was the humblest possible, but the innate qualities of worth of which he is possessed were the greatest by environs of an outward nature." The meeting adjourned by benediction. Afternoon Session. The title of enthusiasm was running high and by the time the chairman called the meeting to order in the afternoon, many felt that the battle of the giants and ginestees had begun. I don't think they were going to pronounce it a struggle of pigmies. After the devotional period was over, Rev. J. C. C. Owens, D. D., the veteran pastor of Pueblo, Col., read the first paper of the symposium. State officials the country and even a excellent vice president anti-bellium days. Rev. Owens spoke of the peculiar environments that existed then and how a man must have possessed the inherent principles of greatness in order to rise to such heights as Bishop Gran had promised. State was helping to secure from the United States Congress $250,000 to re-inburse the Southern Methodist Church for losses suffered during the Civil War. He refused to give himself over to politics, because the house of God had eaten him up. The Rev. J. W. Sexton, D. D. Presiding Elder of Hannibal District, was next introduced, who read the second paper, "State of the Country Now." The reverend apoke, well encouragingly of the state, told the audience that he plowed some of the existing sinful conditions, such as false politics, "Jim Growism," graft, alim-life, interemence and Sabath desecration. But he felt that the race had emerged from many discouraging conditions, bringing with it Bishop Grant as an apostle of life. He was instructed to confess the guilt purge of $35 as a token of the district's respect. "The erudite Prof. Shelton French, A. M., president of Western University, on being introduced to the patient with "Bibbos, Grant stop the Layman's View Point." Said be, "Hawkeye" made but one Abraham Grant, a fourteen man of God. Bishop Grant is a man, a man of purpose. It is no small thing to be a black man, but the greatest thing is to be a man. Bishop Grant has died the measure of a man, standing to the forefront of the defiance applied the choosest professor, after proving himself a master, renamed his seat in the audience. Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman, of Oakland, OL, being absent, Mrs. George Tester volunteered to serve as proxy. Mrs. Tillman's paper, "Bishop Grant and the Womanhood of the Race," was calculated in impulse, every woman possessed, and proportioned character such as the women of the Fifth Episcopal District consider Bishop Grant to be." She closed by dedicating a sonnet to his life. Men who had come more than one thousand miles in order to show how they respected and honored a friend and a teacher, D. Watson, D. D., secretary of the Church Extension Society, and Rev. John Hunt, D. D., financial secretary. The genial secretary of church extension, was introduced. Dr. Watson proceeded to deliver the closing address of the afternoon. He spoke of the early life of his friend, now married with the characteristic wit and humor. He remarked that Bishop Grant has done wonders, such as no other African Methodist living to-day has achieved. "Without the active steps taken by him, it is doubtful whether the Church Extension Society will be able to deal with them. Then gave a history of the society. Just as the hands of the audience were ready for applause, they paused because sweet strains of music were now flowing from the mouth of him who has moved thousands in other days. Just as the hands of the audience "Just for To-day" melted away the singer sat down amidst the grand ame of the soul-stirred audience, and the audience was dismissed by benediction. Everlast Station. After devotional exercises, the Hon. Nelson Crews took the rostrum and in his usual eloquent, happy reign of speech presented the bishop with a very beautiful gold-headed cane, a gift of Mr. John Lange, Kansas City, Mo. He and two others like it once possessed by Bishop Leannon and the other by the Hon. William Jennings Bryan. By this time representatives from everywhere were present; from Iowa, Washington, D. C., St. Louis, Mo. and from every part of Kansas and all other states were red from great men of state as well from great men of the church. After a very stirring anthem by the well-trained choir under the direction of Prof. Jackson, instructor in music at Western University, Bishop Park introduced Dr. John Hurst, financial secretary of the university, who doctor proved himself on this occasion, as he always does, a giant in intellect. His address was one of heights and depths. He depicted Bishop Grant as a man of noblest qualities, a man who did not back down from any duty, however great he was. He said, "and we are doing something for a race when we can produce a man like him." Dr. Hurst entered into the discussion of the all-absorbing subject of Americanism, money getting. He began by saying that the idea of a people must give a complexion to a people's moral affect the moral sense of the American nation, drawing them away from the strong ties of brotherhood. The foundation upon which it is built is not in keeping with the highest principles of humanity and the highest principles of people relative to finance is responsible for the many strikes. It is not what one makes, but what one saves. Bishop Grant stands as the apostle of frugality and thrift among the people. As president of the financial board, he has the most principles in operation. The paper was an excellent production and well received. Dr. B. F. Watson arose and introduced that prince of orators, Bishop H. B. Parks. The bishop proceeded in the emplacement of the prince, Bishop GRANT and His Relation to West Africa," styling him "the greatest, or among the greatest of African Methodists." Said Bishop Parks. He has been the most important from the highest good. These were the principles that he exerted in the evangelization of West Africa." After a very vivid, yet enjoyable description of his life, he was the sacrifice of human lives, Bishop Grant's work, the work for which the Master had sent him. "He realized that the evangelization of Africa, the redemption of the fatherland meant sacrifice, ye the sacrifice of human lives, then falter Africa will not be redeemed, rather evangelized in this generation. Bishop Parks further stated that King Menchelck having heard of the A. E. Church, he made a place in his kingdom. Bishop Grant's visit to Africa was the dawning of a new era in the A. M. E. Church. "His whole life attests the facts of his success. Then, he was the first to make a whole soul before that vast audience in a eucharistic eloquent, carnest and soul-stirring. It was as if the spirit of a Cicero struggled with the spirit of a monotheist. It was as if the spirit of a peculiar oratory sat down amid the plaudits of the crowd. In a few well-chosen words, a member of the choir presented their token of friendship. A beautiful bouquet of cut flowers, a candle, the literary prologue of the first poem, and a gift. After the benediction it was away, away to the banquet hall. A, beautiful sight met all eyes as they entered the richly-decorated lecture room—the banquet hall. The arrangement of the table and the decorations were imbedded in an uniform style, every transient being well proportioned. Truly it was magnificent, and their well-beloved pastor, Rev. J. Jesse Peck, D. D., need not be ashamed of the efforts of his people. The banquet was held on Wednesday Morning. Many were the sad hearts Wednesday morning. The rain began to fall in torrents. But imagine the surprise when we behold fairly representative gathers, the students, the meeting to order. Invocation by Rev. R. C. H. Harris, Rev. John M. Brown read the Scripture lesson and the reading of the Decologue was by Rev. B. Taylor, of the Iowa Conference. Amanda Hammett featured the entire function was a vocal solo by Mrs. A. J. Hammett. Dr. J. C. Caldwell, one of the newly-elected general officers, Y. P. S. A. C. E., read communications from Bishopa H. Tanner, D. D., Moses B. Salter, Tanner, D. D., Moses B. Salter, Evana Tyree, D. D, C. S. Smith, D. D, Joseph F. Flipper D. D, James A. Handy, D. D, J. Albert Johnson, D. D, Dr. Booker T. Washington, Rev. P. C. C. Booker, taking from Texas, Rev. A. J. Kearshow of Florida, bearing Florida's greetings. Mrs. Lillian-Booker was introduced and read an excellent paper. It was a fitting tribute to the excellent man in business who spoke of the "Bishop Grant and the General Officers of the West," she paused long enough to pay a birth compliment to Rev. Frank Macleodon, the editor of the book. She spoke of the "spoke of, his self-sacrificing spirit and how he had inferred to bring the paper to the press. He did not fail to mention the occasion of the death of some great folks especially, Rev. J. O. Caldwell, the creator. Out-of-Town Hotels and Summer Resorts HOTEL: UPTON Men of the medical profession felt to leave the behinds of their patients long enough to speak a few words of pain as they read M. D. read an excellent paper, giving the history of *Douglas Hospital* in her gloomy days and how Bishop Grant, a man of great faith, had succeeded in bringing the institution into the calmness of better days. "I found in Bishop Grant a door, and he, "we pray that he may have many years Mr. Cora D. M. Doten, of Kansas City, Mo., being next on the program, read an excellent paper. She brought "Greetings from the Women of Mimori." She said: "Bishop Grant has added much to the culture of civil and social conditions. For these things, the women greet you." The chairman next introduced Rev. W. D. Cook, D. D., St. Louis, Mo. He spoke of "Bishop Grant as a Friend," and gave a clear, concise definition of friendship, which he emphasized than and David and Dannon and Pythia. He felt, "That it is well to be developed by being compelled to exert ourselves by actively engaging in life's various pursuits. The cultivation of friendship is no trivial thing, it springs from the high-quality faculty and he. "I find embodied all the ideals of friendship and as a personal friend, he is loyal and true." Dr. J. R. Crossland, of St. Joseph, Mo., was introduced as the next speaker. He spoke of "Bishop Grant and the Professional Mission of St. Joseph," and Bishop Grant as being the greatest Negro bishop living, and by the professional world he is regarded as being the greatest Negro of the 20th century. He represents new hope, plans, and life for the M. M. Church of his countrymen. The professional world loves him." Mrs. Dr. Dibble served as proxy for Mrs. Ella E. Braxton. The paper was written in the time of "Woman's Mite Missionary Society of the Fifth Episcopal District." Afternoon Session the congratation joins the sweet singer. Her John John Greg, A B., in singing the opening hymn, "Oh. That I Knew Some Secret Place," etc. Rev. C. A. Williams led in prayer. Mim Tooley, of Chicago, was introduced and entered with selection from Dunbar to the delight of all present. Bishop Parks then introduced Rev. O. E. Jones of Kansas City, Kan., who read a paper entitled "Bishop Grant and the mission of the notes and comments by Rev. Jno. Gregg, who said, "Bishop Grant's achievements are such as inspire the youth of the race to higher and higher levels. He is the founder of the church and we are permeated that only forceful characters can serve as true models in spiritual things. His victories are the victories of the Church but his victories of the Cross of Calvary." In closing he pronounced upon Bishop Grant the same ecology that Sir Walter Scott pronounced upon Wadsworth, so no man more to be merited (or贤识 of heart and loftiness of genius). Dr T C. Unthank was next presented to the audience and gave a very good statement concerning Douglas Hospital, especially from the financial side. Sald was also present, and the hospital it known neither color nor creed, and further, the time has come when the colored physician is fully competent to look after his own. Douglas Hospital is bound to succeed." In paying a tribute to Bishop Grant he reckoned that he was as a minister, lawyer, etc., but as one who loves his fellow men." Dr. Hurst was next introduced and read the paper prepared by Dr. H. T. Johnson, editor of the Christian Recorder, "Bishop Grant and the Publication and noteworthy for its sayings, e.g., "Greatness is not of metaphoric character, but must be as fixed stars. Men who are made great by their fellow men, without possessing the intrinsic principles, are not inflate, but soon burst. But, Bishop Grant we have that greatness which is measured by his achievements. The publication department is really the moulder of the minds of the church. It owes so much to the influence of Bishop Grant. Shiping a leak under his container." The presiding officer then introduced Prof. Simma, who read Rev. A. M. Ward's (of Denyer, Col.) paper. Said the writer among other things in discussing "Bishop Grant, the Man of the Church." "The Church is the church as well as for the individual. The preacher must have some convictions that will tremble in his voice and cause him to gesticulate with his hands. This will be the preacher of the hour. Such a man is Bishop Grant. When he delivers a congregation feel that the Pentecost approach." With this paper closed a very pleasant afternoon session. Evening Session. Invotional services being over Dr Caldwell read several communications commendatory to the life and labors of Bishop Grant. Among them was the excellent paper by Bishop B. T. Tanner, D. D. "Bishop Grant and the Episcopacy," which he wrote in 1881, and cannot be here reproduced, but we will be satisfied with an excerpt. "Logicians big and logicians little tell us that an exact definition of terms is essential to clearness of thought." In the subject assigned us by those of charge on this subject, we were nothing but this definition is most happily within call, even to him who would give this subject transient treatment. What phase in the varied life of Abraham Grant is left untouched? Look as we will, there is but one slave. We are to go Greek tradition an incident that which none better applies. In battle, a man of that noble race was taken captive and doomed to be sold. "I am wanting to buy a slave," said an approaching dealer to the captive, and he was spared an espouse, and so often repeated that it could well be called a plea. "And why do you wish me especially to buy you?" was asked. The response came. "You look an though you need a master." And so say we of our Grant. Let him be looked upon as he challenges to express the opinion as to the role Grant would best fill—master or slave. Each church is swayed by its own provision. The Catholic bishop, made in keeping with the rules and regulations of that church, only has the right to exercise the powers of the high office. He suited us and we elected him, and for twenty years he has given the church the most acceptable service." After the reading of communications from Dr. J. Gasson and George Frenzel, the Chester District Elder of the Columbia District, ascended the rostrum.

"Aurelian was despotic and put a tyrant, but our beloved bishop ruled with the love of Christian brotherhood." said the "Bishop Grant is a high churchman, not in the sense of restments, but in the righte- ness of God and when he came to the district it was at a time when it needed spiritual healing." The paper was a masterful effort. We were to enjoy yet another rare treat. The Hon. Nelson Crews, the orator, was introduced. He spoke of the importance of training the speaker of earnestness as well as eloquence. His address was a series of flights, never pausing, never resting, he carried the audience higher and higher. The captivating speaker in referring to the well-being of his servies, insulted his services, so apothem his life, that in everything that pertains to the greatness of life, he is called in an counsellor. He is ever on the alert to the well-being of his servies, to the well-being of the race. We recognize that no Negro shall fill his place. Amid deafening applause, Mr. Crews resumed his seat in the audience. Mr. Soo Angge, Karns Mo., and Mr. Joanne Chillothee Mo., were introduced to the audience. Next came a period of craning of necks and bulging of eyes—the presentations were to be made. Mr. Florence Green, a curator of the museum, tree of the twin cities, stepped forward and in a few well-chosen words presented the bishop with a purse of $75.

D. Cook, D. D., presented the bishop with a beautiful case containing $50 in gold, as a token of respect from Paul A. M. E. Church, St. Louis, Mo. After the presentations Bishop Grant arrose, being presented by Bishop Parks. With voice pathetic and heart filled with emotion, he addresses the most esteemed language, his appreciation for the tokens of love and esteem, and gratefulness for the honor shown by the occasion. The committees by motion, thanked the choir, and the most esteemed members of the impressive solos, "Rock of Acre" and "Lead Kindly Light." Bishop Parks made some fitting closing remarks, telling of the work in his diary, "The great audience arrose and after singing the doxology, Rt. Rev. Abraham Grant, D. D., "the man of the hour," pronounced the benediction, "the greatest events ever witnessed, ever participated in by the members of the race. Once more this man of God, the preacher of righteousness, this episcopate of love unconscious, this two more days of history for his people."
