Whipp Citizens Now Confess That Uprising Against Negroes Was a Big Mistake RECENT DISCLOSURES White Women Who Cussed Lynchings and Many Houses to be Destroied Says She Proudly Announced Richardson Cincinnati, September 16.—The aftermath of the Springfield riots is revealing many things that serve to place the offended people in a better light before the public. There is being developed a marked change of public opinion toward the Negro race and its part in the horrible affair. will be remembered that the first death of public opinion was one of hate and indiscriminate condemnation of the Negro criminal as the sole cause of the job uprising. All this is now changed. As one fact after another in connection with the Springfield barricade in brought out by study, investigation and probation of the grand jury, the indictment of the race from among the active in the affair. Springfield to say the sensible, responsible and fair-minded people of the white race are friendly confounding that the uprising against the colored race was wholly cannocked and that the colored people were entirely blunted. In other words a horrible and criminal blunder was made in placing the blame for the riot on the colored people. The outcome of investigation and prosecution thus for have clearly shown. First, that if the police of Springfield had half of it at the beginning of the trouble they would have been no riot. Negro beams would not have been invaded and disrupted by vandal, two entirely innocent and respectable citizens would not have been lynched, and hundreds of deceit and lawless people would not have been compelled to flee from the capital city to save their lives. Thirthly, Mrs. Halken, the hysterical white woman, who falsely accused the coloured man Richardson of criminal assault, being overcome by resentment into anger and made an open confession that she had made a mistake! Just think of it, a whole race held up to public contempt, scores of homes destroyed, women and children driven from their homes and fleeing for their lives into the country, many others injured for life, race hatred intensified, and all due to a false or mistaken accusation by one hysterical woman. We have lost one consolation in this whole miserable affair and that is that the white public frankly confesses itself as heartily ashamed of its criminal blunder. It is to be hoped that this reaction may carry the people far enough to make suitable amends for their incarcerated visitors. The teachers and visitors who arrived to Chicago from all parts of the country, especially from the South, carrying back to their schools, their lives pursuits and their homes. Your correspondent has been informed that many of these visitors have invested quite largely in real estate. Indeed Chicago seems to be an attractive place for Southerners who contemplate taking up their permanent residence in the North. Bishop Shaffer, Bishop D. Burch, B.R. Burch, most recent purchasers, while Dr. A. J. Carey, Dr. D, P. Roberts, Rev. J. F. Thomas are already in possession of beautiful residences on prominent avenues in this city. Miss Anna Jones, who has been spending her vacation at Ana Arbor and Oberlin, made a short visit to Chicago as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Bruns on her way to assume her work as teacher in the Kansas City High School. I am informed by those who seem to have heard that there is to be no distinctive Negro Bureau in the city, and I recommend the National Republican Headquarters. The "powers that be" have decided that it suffers too much of the "Jim Crow" sentiment. Instead of a Negro Bureau same responsible colored men will be placed on the vapous committees of the National Bureau. I have been so press notices of the organization of the Negro Democratic club in this city, that a little investigation discloses that the organization consists of the same handful of men who have been training with the local Democracy of this city for many years. There are no signs of the pre-convention work done by the few Negro Democrats who came from the East with a big program of enlisting all the colored voters in Chicago for the Democratic ticket. On the contrary the boldest mark Taft people last June are now the very men who are most eager to go command for Taft first, last and all the time, and especially if Mr. Taft should be elected. The beautiful little daughter of Mrs. Maude Cunney Howe, of Browns, died in THE NEW YORK AGE. this city a few days ago after a short illness and an operation for appendicitis. It will be remembered by the renders of The Ann that Mrs. Hare in the daughter of the late K. Wright Cunney, one of the most noted political leaders in the South. It will also be remembered that Mrs. Hare and her former husband, Dr. F. J. McKinley, of this city, were involved in an important law suit to determine who should have the custody of the child, Vera. She was a child of rare sweetness and attractiveness and her untamed death has caused a widespread feeling of sorrow and sympathy for the bereaved parents. FANHE BARNES WILLIAMS. BISHOP RULET FOR TAFT Wilmington, Del., September 15.—One of the features of the meeting held at the U. A. M. E. Church, Twelfth and French street, is week was the day of the Presbyterian Church by Bishop B. T. Ruley, who declared himself for Taft and Sherman. The Bishop further stated that he could see no reasons why the colored race should change their political affiliations with the Republican Party, as it had given the race its aid and made it possible for the Negro to receive proper recognition at the hands of the white people. Continuing, the Bishop said; "have the most confidence in the present administration as it is being conducted along lines of rightousness, and I fully endorse the platform of the Republican Party as adopted at the National convention and the State convention." "I hope my people will not make a mistake and change their vote at the coming election, but stand up for the principles and party which have made it possible for us to have schools, academies, colleges, preachers, teachers and men who are capable of aiding our race to attain a higher plane of intelligence. "Place me on the list as a Taft and Sherman man, and I hope all my brethren will see the matter as I see it and vote the straight Republican ticket. I will vote the straight Republican, the entire meeting arose and voiced the sentiments expressed by him. NEBRD STATE FAIR COLUMBIA, S. C., September 14. Great preparations are being made in this city for the State Fair to be held here by the Negro citizens from November 9 to the 10th. The Executive Committee has sent out the following letter: To the Colored People of South Carolina: It is now settled that the Negro State Fair will be held in Columbia from Monday, November 9, to Saturday, November 16, at the fair grounds of the white association. We are determined to have the fair. Tell all the people to come and to have something as an exhibit. Save your best stalks of cotton and your best stalks of corn to bring to the fair. Bring anything that will show the progress of the race. Thousands of people will be here. We expect ten thousand (10,000) farmers, working men and students to march in the great parade on Tuesday. November the 10th, besides there will be in the march the various secret societies of the State. For further information write the Secretary of the State Fair Association, R. W. Westberry, or Richard Carroll, the president, Columbia, S. C. (1013 Washington street being the office number for both the president and secret- or address any member of the Executive Committee). Z. E. Walker, superintendent, Sumter; T. A. Williams, treasurer, Newberry; C. R. Brown, vice-president, Camden; J. L. Cain, Darlington; C. F. Holmes, Orangeburg; J. D. H. Goodwin, Weston; J. H. Corly, Irmo; S. M Perrin, Cobambia. JOE GANS DOWN AND OUT SAN FRANCISCO, September 9.—"Battling" Nelson registered another victory over Joe Gans here this afternoon, beating the "old master" in twenty-one rounds of fierce and vicious fight on July 4. Nelson did not get home a knockout punch. In the twenty-first round the former invincible lightweight went to the floor from sheer weakness. He tried hard to regain his feet, but only succeeded in getting up after the fatal ten seconds had been counted. The fight was a gruelling and relentless one. Nelson never gave Gans any quarter, and before the contest had gone half way it was evident that the hot colored man's stomach and won the encounter on these lines. Gans's strength began to ebb in the seventeenth round. However, Gans stuck it out, hoping to turn the tide his way. The more Gans rushed or landed the more vicious seemed the Dane. He bored in swinging rights and left, cautiously at times, but without regard to science for the most part. A large crowd witnessed the scrap. The end came unexpectedly and that was the reason Nelson did not win in decisive fashion. Gans said he hurt his right hand in the eighth round. Eddie Smith, of Oakland, was the referee. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1988 Boyston, Sept. 15.—The Prince Hall Masonic centennial celebration has come and gone. A partial success as a lodge conclave, but as an opportunity for the race to demonstrate in concrete form its unity and progress of a hundred years a fasco. All this is due to the petty bickering for place and power and the final predominance of the "intellectual" element of Massachusetts Masons. When it became apparent that because of their numbers rather than ability, they would have their own foolish way, Negro Masons throughout the country boycotted the centennial. As a consequence, instead of the ten thousand Masons who were to be in line, there were one thousand in the parade. While this small contingent made a good appearance, it was a sorry representation of the 75,000 Prince Hall Masons in this country. At the opening session of the convention a permanent damper was thrown upon its spirit by the obvious indifference of the leaders, white and colored citizens. Both were compacious by their absence. First of all it should be said that the beautiful Symphony Hall would not have been secured for the convoyage if the larger and sensible element of Masons, acting through the wealthy wig merchant, Gilbert C. Harris, had not relented. Mr. Harris is the well-known treasurer of the National Negro Business League, and he gave his personal check for the unpaid rent money. At the opening exercises, some say two, but the writer saw only one white person present. This gentleman was State Auditor Turner who, in the absence of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, welcomed the delegates. Neither the Mayor nor the Acting-Mayor welcomed them in behalf of the city, and on their failure to appear, City Coordinator Robert was upon to make an inward address. Before the centennial orator, the Governor's messenger—Bro. Win, L. Reed—had finished his offensive address, the 1,500 people present had dwindled to about 500. The features of this meeting, however, were the addresses of Judge Robert Terrill, of Washington, and the Centennial Lyric, with words and music by Brother Chas. Alexander and Mr. Lovell Groves, respectively. At Thursday night's ball and reception $1,525.25 was taken in at the door, and as less than 1,000 people in the mammoth structure, which accommodates 5,000. The toastmaster of the love feast given by Rising Sun Lodge on Friday afternoon, Bro. John Schenck, the State Treasurer's messenger, again offended the distinguished delegates present as did the Governor's messenger, by charging Negro national officeholders with treachery for the Republican Party on the Brownville matter. But hereupon the Governor's messenger but once upon and the real sentiment of influential Masons throughout the country was expressed. Every commander responding to the toast denounced their narrow policy, and announced his Republicanism. Among these were Judge Robert G. 'Small, of South Carolina; Col. Lewis, of New Orleans; Judge Terrill, and W. H. Grimshaw, of Washington, D. C.; Commander Smith, of Maryland, and the State Commanders of Georgia and Florida. Owing to the refusal of the Chicago Commandery to attend and the defaulting of the Washington Commandery on Saturday, no competitive drill could be had. After an exhibition drill the Ivanhoe Commandery, of New York, was awarded the beautiful prize cup. The athletic events resulted as follows: Shot put, Sheldon, Macdonald; high jump, MacDonald, Johnson; 100 dash, Sheldon, Lewis, Wheaton, Johnson; 100 brown, Lewis, Brown, Lewis, Johnson, H. Modeste; mile, George Brown and Sheldon. Striving and uncommon forces are working in various parts of the Greater Boston, bringing them together and eliminating the party and ill-behaving mismatched Negro Dumbo workers. A negro leader of the current and influential leaders is planned for the near future to discuss the situation and formulate plans of action. They are making their factorial differences and making personal sacrifices for the common good. This spirit of progress gains strength by working with a positive future for Boston colored citizens. Mr. Franklin J. Wright, candidate for the Massachusetts Legislature, from the Second Mississippi District, has just withdrawn in favor of Mr. Clement G. Morgan, in a splendid public announcement. With the colored tone divided by both candidates in the field, the defeat of both was a foregone conclusion. With a solid constituency behind him, Mr. Morgan's nomination assured asked for by the Republican district is equivalent to election. The bitter fight being waged at present in the Eighteenth Assembly District between Mestra, Chas, Alexander and Joshua Crawford, rival candidates for the Legislature, has not yet been settled. Mr. Alexander is the well-known publisher of Alexander's Magazine and a printer. 'He is a Manon and this is his first attempt for public office. Mr. Crawford is not so well known, but was recently in the restaurant business when he fell, owing to his bad connections, the Brownsville issue. While the district is nominally democratic, a Republican with the solid colored vote behind him could be taken in by the looked for Taft landslide in Boston. The twelfth annual grand session of the Knights and Daughters of Tabar came to chapel in city of September. A large number of delegates from all parts of New England were present during the four days session and much business of importance was transacted. The reports of the Chief Grand Scribe and the Chief Grand Treasurer showed the organization to be in splendid financial condition, all sick and death chains settled and a next surplus in the treasury. The following were the officers elected for the coming year: Chief Grand Mentor, Sir Peter Lawrence, Boston; Grand High Priestman, Dt. M. V. Harrington, Cambridge; Vice Grand Master, Sir B. S. White, Boston; Vice Grand High Priestman, Dt. Evan Carter, of New Bedford; Chief Grand Scribe, Sir C. N. Garland, Boston; C. G. R. D. Georgia A. Weeks, W. Newton, Mann; C. G. T. T. D. Hattie Johnson, Boston; C. G. P. D. Hangshen Greene,idence; C. G. P. J. D. Wm. A. Falkenbury, C. Q. M. D. M. Callaway, New Bedford; G. I. S. D. Pelham, Hartford; C. G. O. Sir B. Crudan, Cambridge; G. O. S. Sir Philip Walker, Boston; G. D. M. Sir Chas, Harrison, New Bedford, Mass. Without disparagement to the many other organizations represented, it can safely be said that the crack Ivanshoe Commandery of New York, and the Newport, R. I., delegation, led by Dr. Marcus H. Wheatland, made the best showing at the centennial celebration. With their respective headquarters at the Hotel Upton, and in the corner building opposite decorated, this immediate vicinity presented a lively scene. Among the Newporters present were: Messrs. J. T. Allen, Wm. S. S. Decoursey, David A. Crockett, Jackson Carter, Wm. Riley, Wm. Hurley, J. A. Bell, Wm. H. Watts, C. W. Mead, Dr. W. H. Mathews, Dr. M. Wheatland, Mrs. L. N. Scott and Mrs. N. J. Jennings. Last Sunday, Mrs. Dr. John B. Hall, of Windsor street, received in honor of her guest, Mrs. Dr. Georgie C. Hall, of Chicago. In receiving the host of her immediate friends and visitors from out of town, Mrs. Hall was assisted by Miss Ida B. Hall and Mrs. L. W. Benjamin. Other New. Miss Bertha Bauman has returned to Boston to resume her studies at the New England Conservatory of Music. Miss Bauman spent the summer at Holidaysburg, Pa., visiting Miss Kathleen Banks Brown. She will reside at 74 Junction street. Mrs. Virginia Trotter has quite recovered from her recent illness, much to the delight of her many friends. Miss Amnette Cartwright's "dancing party" in honor of Miss Grace Baxter, of Newark, N. J., at Cozy Hall, Huntington Chambers, last Wednesday evening, proved to be one of the most pleasing functions of the season. Mrs. E, E Brown, Mrs. W. W. Sampson, Miss Grace Baxter and Miss Augusta L. Cartwright assisted Miss Cartwright in receiving. Messrs. Charles Richardson, Fred Hennings, Clarence Smith and George Dabney were the ushers. Pat Toy's orchestra furnished charming music for the dances, and Westover and Floss served the luncheon. The guests included the most intimate friends of the hostess, including the following persons from out of town: Col. and Mrs. Cecil New Orleans, L.a.; Mrs. Gee C. Hall of Orleans, Jake B. H. Terrrell, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Mimie Benjamin, of Lewiston, Me., and Miss Ida Hall, of New Orleans, La. Mr. Geo, W. Harris, Boston correspondent, left the city Sunday night for New York to enter the office of Tux Ace. He will be succeeded as correspondent by Mr. Robert Bommer, who will gladly receive all news of general interest at 63 Prentiss street, Cambridge. Miss Edna H. Wheeler, head of St. Agnes' Nurse Training School, at Rakeigh, N. C., and Miss Jennie McLustron, of Rozbury, trustee of St. Monica Home were interested visitors, at the St. Monica House Friday. Mr. and Hars. Chuck Jones have purchased a beautiful house on 32 Bohmer. In discussing the political situation at the recent session of the Educational Congress and Ministerial Chantanqua, held at St. James' Church, Atlantic City, Bishop Wesley J. Guinness made the following statement: "We confront a political situation at this moment that calls for exceedingly great wisdom. The Republican party has just nominated for the head of the nation William H. Taft, with James Schoolcraft Sherman as his running mate. What the colored man who has been nursing injustices done him, is going to do about it, is a question agitating the political world. Knowing that we hold the balance of power in some States should be no excuse for rushing to a wild extreme now. It is no time to try to retaliate for any injustice by bolting the party ticket. It is no time to stand silently aside. Now is the time for us to rise superior to mere politics and look sensibly at the situation, with a glance backward at what has been done for us by the Republican party, and with an eye piercing the future to see that the Republican road is the only road of great promise before us. "My friends, whatever the Negro is to-day he owes to the Republican party. It freed us. It stood by us. It gave us the ballot. It placed the amendments on the statute books of the union. It is the party that has helped, not hindered us in our progress. Never mind its partial failures as a party, or some questionable act of individual Republicans which have worked its injustice. If we want to know what has not been done for us, we can look at the Democratic party, at its leaders, at their threats and their purposes to keep us in 'our place,' as they term it. If we want our path forever blocked, our onward course made a hard road to travel, our rights curtailed at every opportunity, why, vote the Democratic ticket and you will see how soon you will regret it. We need not depend upon its promises. We know whose party it is. It is not a safe thing to swap horses in the house, but we are not going to pretty strong currant just now, and the Democratic mag is not at all promising as a sure means of rapidity, ease or safety. No; let me tell you it is worse than folly to court disaster by turning our back to the court disaster by turning candidate and repudiating the only party that ever pushed us forward as a people. There are more colored people in office to-day hold good, jobs than ever before. To stand the Democrats to pile up their majorities; and to ally yourselves with our vote and not only the Democrats. No, we are not going to be foolish enough to be foolish as spite our faces, as the saying goes. And I tell you emphatically that those who wish to see the race hold its own and regain anything lost must vote the Republican ticket as the only safe proposition to follow. William H Taft is a man of strong personality. His ancestral traditions and his own acts have been those of friendliness as far as we are concerned. With a Republican President, we may always have hope; with a Democratic President everything is possible that can lead to further humiliation. There is danger, my friends, in putting your enemies in the saddle, no matter how fair theyromise you. Have they not announced their plans, have they not done with us, and what would be done if they had their way? Do you think they would not try to carry out their policies in many ways? Vote against William H Taft and you vote against your altars and your firstles, against your rights, against your freedom, against your progress. You will be committing both murder and suicide, for posterity will be doomed. "No! No! No! Let every man of color stand by the ship that has borne the race thus far on our journey. Let every one stand by the Republican ticket, and expect, its future aid and protection. Do not knowingly step into the net lad for and by your ship, or lot the power to foes who would in these trying and peculiar times use it to our hurt. We must not jeopardize our future by such a movement. There is far more at stake than in previous campaigns, because of the adverse sentiment that these very enemies have stirred up against us, and we cannot afford to risk one inch we have gained. It would be hard to regain our vantage ground. We have found it so already. Stand firm for the party and yourself. We may say so a summary: Let us keep up courage; be determined to fight on, to educate, to make money, to gain property, to make friends. Let us be industrious and virtuous, to raise advantages and hold them, to light discrimination and unjust hars every paint, be low-shifting and low-demolishing. Let us hold out for our rights, we faith in God and our courage and stick to the Republican party, for "In spite of rock and tempest's near, in spite of fire lights on the shore, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphs over our fears, "Are all with that ship, that party and William H. Taft for the next President of our common country." IN HONOR OF BR. WASHINGTON White Bedford Men of Lexington Winter College for Hall and Recognition. Lexington, September 15.—The Phoenix Hotel Company has been good gracious in the deal with the free use of the Coliseum Rink to the Colored Men's Social Club for a reception and fall in honor of Dr. Boomer T. Washington next Friday night, which promises to be a red letter event in the annuals of the Negro race in Lexington. Such a kindly act as this cement the relations between the better people, the better people, and reflects credit upon the brave men who are at the head of the Phoenix Hotel. The Coliseum Rink, as all in Lexington know, occupies the site of the old Horstman's Headquarters, adjoining the Phoenix, and is eventually to be torn down to make way for an eight-story modern hotel building. It is convenient to see the building, but could not find a more convenient building for the big reception they are planning in honor of the distinguished leader of their race in America. The courteous letter of the Phoenix Lake Trust, requesting the use of the Rink, is as follows: Lexington, Ky., Sept. 5, 1988. Mr. Jordan Jackson, Chairman Commit Dear Sir--We understand that the Colored Men's Social Club, of which you are an officer, is anxious to give a reception and hall in honor of Prof. Boother Washington, who is to visit Lexington during the colored fair, and attend the annual meeting of Jackson Hall because of its being already secured by the State Guard. In view of these facts, and desiring to aid a club composed of colored men who are setting an example of sobriety, industry and good citizenship in its desire to honor one of the leading members of the race, whose service to his State and country have been of very great value, we desire to tender to you for this reception to Professor Washington the use of the Columba Rink on Main street, which we hope will be found suitable for your purpose. It will be a pleasure to us if you can avail yourself of this offer and a further pleasure if we can in any other way be able to help you to Mr.; Washington constant with the reputation he has earned by the splendid services he has rendered to his own people and thereby to all the people of our common country. NEGRO UNION EFFECTED HUNTSVILLE, Ala., September 14.—The Negro Workingman's Union of America, an organization which was recently set up here by many of the leading colored citizens of Huntsville with strong backing, is sending out circulars and a little red book giving full particulars and information about the union to anyone who addresses P. O. Box 594. The first page of the book contains a brief statement of the object of the union as follows: "First let me clearly understand by the public that this Union was not organized to cause friction between the races, nor is there any word in the constitution or by-laws that would cause strikes, lock-outs nor anything but the very best feeling between laborer and employer. It is simply one grand union of the Negro who works for a living. To better his condition in this life and assist in putting him away decently afterward, is the aim. Our motto—"Honeey." Our watchword—"Unity and Mutual Helpfulness." Tuft and Sherman Meeting. CHARLESTON, S. C., September 15.—The feature of the big Taft and Sherman ratification meeting, held up this city last week was the address of the Hon. T. L. Grant, County Chairman, who presided. He said in part: "Mr. Taft has been serving the people of this country as a representative of the Republican party for twenty-seven years, and for the past eight years the most conspicuous figure, nationally, with the exception, perhaps, of President Roosevelt. He has held positions in the past twenty-seven years, being a district revenue collector to that of Secretary of War, which he resigned to become our candidate for President. Mr. Sherman has filled positions of honor and trust since 1884, when he was elected mayor of Ithica, N. Y., his home City, an from the Fifth Congress; he has been elected a member of that body, but one exception, serving nearly twenty years his party and nation. As I said before, we need not say one word in commendation of our leaders, as their records are plainly and indelibly carved in the history of our country and party." Annual Party in Independence, Mo., Intramurence, Mo., September 14—The second annual fair given under the auspices of the colored people of Jackson county will be held in this city September 20, 20 and October 1, 2 and 2. There will be many attractions at this year's fair, including exhibits, music and outdoor museums. PRICE, 5 CENTS Has Been Inaugurated in Norfolk in Behalf of Negro Youth Colored Citizens' Educational and Industrial Association Formed For that Purpose The Stages of the Association in: "Send and Keep the Children at School"—North Interest Manifested Norfolk, Sept. 15.—A vigorous campaign has been inaugurated in this city in the interest of education. The ten Negro churches and priests have placed a plan to counsel all the Negro children of Norfolk to attend school and receive an education. An organization has been formed known as the Colored Citizens' Educational and Industrial Association which is pledged to bring about a full attendance at all the colored schools. In the ten Negro churches meetings are being held in behalf of education, and addresses being made setting forth the importance of educating the Negro children. The following speakers have appeared under the aunces of the Colored Citizens' Educational and Industrial Association; C. J. Watkins, Bute Street; Baptist Church; Harold Davenport, Bank Street; Baptist Church; William H. Perry, Calvary Baptist Church; Melvin E. Diggs, St. Luke's A. U. M. P. Church; Dr. G. Jarvis Bowen, Grace P. E. Church; James M. Collins, St. John's A. M. K. Church; A. D. Smith, Queen Street; Baptist Church; P. V. Church; St. Baptist Church; F. M. Porter, John Brown A. M. Church; James Bolling, Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. Benjamin R. Boulding, president of the Colored Citizens' Educational and Industrial Association, has declared that an energetic movement will be maintained to make the fathers and mothers of colored children appreciate the importance of sending and keeping the children at school. The slogan, "Colored Children School," will be sounded from the pulpit of every colored church in Norfolk. "Over 4,000 colored children of Norfolk run and live in the streets," said Mr. Boulding. "The street is the school of crime. It is there these youngsters are taught the vices of the criminal and grow up to crowd the penal institutions. Our purpose is to have these colored children taken from the streets and sent to school, where their minds may be improved and better habits are taught. At Norfolk children attend the colored public schools, and 1,700 the colored private schools. Now we want all the children to attend school and be taught good citizenship." He says that an effort will be made to get a one-room high school for colored graduates of the primary schools; that all other cities in Virginia have a colored high school except Norfolk. He also declared that the association he is at the head of will seek to have the Mount Vernon R. Boulding as a school building for colored children. In referring to the clamor for education in Norfolk, the Norfolk Landmark recently said: Taking the stand that by educating the colored children that crime among the race will be greatly lessened, a vigorous campaign is being waged by the Colored Citizens' Educational and Industrial Association in the interests of more regular attendance upon schools by colored children. To this end the association, through President Benjamin R. Boulding, has named ten speakers, each of whom will occupy a pulpit of one of the colored churches to-day for the purpose of urging parents to send their children to school. These speakers will be sent from church to church until the opening of the schools next month, and each Sunday they will appeal to the parents of different congregations to send their children to school and keep them there until the close of the season. The association has been assured by the Norfolk School Board that additional school facilities will be furnished if the parents school building already has it been recommended to the board that the old Mount Vernon Market, on church street, near Nicholson, be used for temporary school purposes. To the Editor of the New York Times: 'That a gross injustice was done not alone to the discharged soldiers but to the entire race of which these formed a part is self-evident to every unprejudiced mind. But we are American citizens first and Afro-Americans second; the interest of the whole must have preeminence; over that of a part. We must never be inimical to the best interest of the best people. As I see it, we have nothing to gain and very much to lose if we in large numbers turn from the Republican party. "Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved." W. H. Rhoos. Pastor St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church. New York, September 9, 1900. street, Cambridge. Mr. and Mri. Trusty are now occupying their home at 20 Parber street, Cambridge. Dr. Clara Smyth, of Richmond, Va., while visiting here recently, was summoned home to the bedside of her father, Hon. John H. Smyth, Ex-U. S. Minister to Liberia, who died shortly after her arrival. Miss Theresa Stubbs has waged a successful fight against ill-health, judging from appearances. She was seen at the baseball game last Thursday afternoon. The Booklovers, Mrs. Jos. Lee president, will soon be called together by Mrs. Hattie Benjamin to meet the visitors in the city. Hon. A. H. Grimke, who has been a conspicuous figure on the "boardwalk" at Atlantic City during the summer, is in the city. Miss Angelina Grimke, also arrived here from Cohasset, where she spent a month. Miss Grimke and Miss Theresa Lee returned to Washington this week to continue their work as school teachers. Mrs. Dr. Jas. Wormley, of Newark, and Mrs. Ballard, of Orange, N. J., are in Boston, the guests of Mrs. Jos. Lee. Mrs. Robert Hemmings is the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Dr. Alexander, in New York, who gave a delightful holiday gift honor recently. Lawyer George N.

Church Street Church is very much regretting the going away of one of its most useful young members in the person of Mia Susan F. Jones, who goes to Oberlin College to prepare for her course in Paris. Dr. Henderson and wife have had crowds of their former friend from New York and Chicago as guests during the past few weeks. Among them Mrs. Robert Elim, of Chicago, one of the leading ladies of that city, she was in company with Mrs. Robert Townsend, chairman of the Stewardess Board of Quinn Chapel, Chicago. Dr. Henderson and his people are all as busy as writing ready for their fall rally, which takes place October. This gear it is to be the men the women, and a great battle between them for financial honors, is beginning. Curry Institute.

Wortagren” cdscsor, publicot and Mader of his race, arvived in Lexington Friday might of last week, via the C. & O, accompanied by Emmett J. Scott, his secretary, and was met at the Union Statiow by an enthusiastic host of'’ad- sairers from the raks of his own people. ‘The station was crowded almost to sulfocation, and when the train palled im the band struck up a lively air which added to the dpirit of the occasion, and when the founder of Tuskegee stepped te the platform he was at once sur- rounded: by members of the committee from the Colored Fair Association, whoee quest he is while here, and 2 rowed of hand-shaking ensued, whieh lasted fully two minutes, . The iron ‘exit gates of the station were thrown open and the visitor was escorted by the committee to carriages im waiting. He bowed in response to the enthusiastic greeting with modest mice He was driven from the station to the residence of Mr. Jordan C. ‘Jackson, on East Short street, where, after be- ing entertained at dinner., he was es- costed to the Coliscum. Rink on Main street, where a reception in his honor took ‘place under the auspices of the ‘Assembly Club. z ‘One of the marked features of this reception was the presence of a coterie ‘of leading white people, who occupied the galleries. and who ‘were invited to come, onto the floor and meet the dis- tinguished visitor, which they did be- fore the opening of the set .ceremonies. The reception and entertainment at the Goliseum was a dignified affair. There was a total absence ofthe ultra spectacular in any way, though the costumes worn were all’ attractive and iat kecping with the propriety of the oceasion. The affair was conducted in a way that reflected credit on all whd .were present as well as those in charge. Besides the reception there was danc- ing which lasted until 1 o'clock, after which Dr. Washington left and the affair was brought to_a close. WI Make No Palliteal Speeeben. “The report that Tam to stump the South for either the Republican or Democratic ticket this autumn is erron- cous,” said Dr. Washington when ap- proached. at the reception given at the Coliseum last evening. Dr. Washington was on the reception floor at the time the request for an interview was made, but his acquics- cence was gracious, and entirely in keep- "ing, with the high type. of | manhood which his whole career has evidenced. Feeling of Fricedebip Here. Referrmg to his visit to Lexington, he said: “I find here a feeling of friendship and mutual regard between the best elements of both races which is mot excelled in any of the localities T have previously visited. That is natural, however; when you consider the type of the: white race in Central Kentucky. The righ ‘type among your own people creates an environment calculated to elevate the Negro race. It is a fact, you know, that one man cammot spend his time trying to keep another in the ditch without being lowered himself, aad the, opposition, ‘equally true, is ex- re.” or ‘Washington's subject at the Fair Geowads was “The Industrial Oppor- tunity and the Industrial Progress of the Negro Race.” At the ‘Fate Growés. Dr, Washington was the ‘erties featere st the Fair Saturday. He wemt to the grounds at 19 o'clock, sccording, to the program | annowncr- ment, and visited the floral hall.

Jackson, of the ‘Kentucky Normal and Industrial Ineti- tute, at_ Frankfort, in introducing Booker T. Washington at the Fair Grounds, said that when any man, eee or black, living in any section of oar Country, forged ahead above the sver- age of either race in mental, moral and ‘material worth, that individual ceases tobe a problem, The white man, said he, who is'be- low the average in these respects, is as anuch of a problem as a Negro below the average could possibly be to a Var- daman of a Tillman. ae He said that both races are inclined to make too much of race as such, and not to put the emphasis where it belongs, upon ‘one's proved merit and intrinsic worth, . He said that he was proud to intro- duce Booker T, Washington because he ig bigger than the color line, and has always exercised a wholesome, conser- vating and preservating influence in the nation.. : He thought, he said, that it was pecu- liarly appropriate that the agreat, apos- tle of industrial education for both races should speak at the Lexington Fair, where, for nearly forty years. the col- cored people in Central Kentucky had maintained a fair and had encouraged all kinds of industrial enterprises. That while Mr, Washington had shown the bad taste in infancy to be born on the West Virginia side of the State line which separated Virginia from -Ken- tucky, yet geographically Kentucky had always claimed him, and that through- out his illustrious career he had no friends more loyal and devoted than his Kentucky friends. He closed by saying ‘that Mr. Wash- ington will go down in history as the greatest educational reformer of. his time. In the Address delivered by Dr. Wash. ington at the Lexington Colored Fair Saturday afternoon he said, in part: © “I have long craved the opportunity of ‘attending ‘the Lexington Colored Fair. This fair has more than a local reputation. It is known widely. throogh- out the country, and has been the means of stimulating our people in making progress in their industrial, edu- cational end moral life. Farther than thet-what has been accomplished at this fair has proved, and is proving, an ex- ample and an ‘inspiration for. similar efforts among our people in different parts of the country. For all these rea sons and more, I wish to, cohgratulat most heartily, the official board of this organization for the manner, in which this fair has been conducted and for the privilege of being your guest. For your untiring efforts in keeping .this organi- zation upon its feet, and prompting its success during all of these years, you deserve the highest thanks of all. “Tt ts especially appropriate that this exposition of the race's progress exist in the State of Kentucky: among the most thrifty and progressive class of our own people. 1 think T am safe in saying that there is no State in the Union where our people are more pros- perous than ‘in the State of Kentucky. Certainly, there is no State in the Union where <0 large a proportion of them are striving to better their condition, and justify the hopes of their friends "Further, in this State, with rare ex- ceptions, T find that good will and friendly relations exist between the two races, and especially in a marked de- gree is this true in the city of Lexing- ton. Here, in the Blue Grass region, in the beautiful city of Lexington, you have the highest and most cultured’ civi- lization of the white race represented, and wherever you find high culture among the white people, there almost without exception, you will find that the black race is treated as a human be- ing, and given a fair chance in the bat- tle Gf life, "This fair represents the” result, of labor. industry and of economy. ‘The basis of the civilization of our race, as is true of all races, is in labor and con- structive work. In every community the lesson should be constantly im- pressed, from the school desk, the pul- pit, in ‘every home, that all forms’ of labor are honorable, and that all forms of idleness are a disgrace. “There are two races in this country whose interests are to be considered— the white race,and the black race.

Thame Apsrtneets Cannel Be Sorpeseed ' Apply Janitor ae REASONS FOR HIS REPUBLICANISM The Negro no debts to the party that gave him his freedom and his franchise. Granted for the sake of argument. The price of his continued support should be present consideration. Granted again. What then, are the reasons why the Negro should to-day support the Republican ticket? In addition to the fact that the choice must be between the party of his ancient friends, and the party of his ancient enemies; in addition to the personelle of the oft-defeated Democratic candidates, weak and silent on Negro citizenship, and protection; in addition to the fact that the South is the Democracy and Democracy is the South, what are the reasons for his Republicanism? First, four out of every five or eight million Negroes have been disillusioned by the Democratic States of the South, in boasted violation of the spirit of the War Amendment to the Constitution. The Republican party both in convention assembled and through its tried and true standard bearer has pledged itself to the enforcement of the "letter and spirit" of these amendments. The party has acted by these same. Sites to offer the galling, unequal and unconstitutional "Jim Crow" car accommodations. The Republican party through the Interstate Commerce Commission has begun the enforcement of equal accommodations. In common with all other citizens, the Negro's vital interests are affected by the development whether it be strong or weak, whether it be good or bad. Then not only as the victim of the problem of prejudice but as a victim of conditions, the colored citizen will vote for Taft. Third. Prosperity has always attended Republican rule. "Hard times" have just as often attended Democratic rule. Three million Negro laborers and five hundred millions of dollars worth of taxable property shackle the Negro to American industrial conditions. Fourth. The Negro suffers most heavily from public riot and disorder and partial justice. The Republican party believes in a strong "government of laws and not of men." The Democratic party believes in a loose government of individuals and of "State rights." Franchised, the Negro needs the protection of the "spirit" of the constitution. Rising and striving, he needs prosperity. Mobbed and discriminated against, he needs strong and energetic justice. For these reasons among the many the Negro needs a continuation of Republican rule, and he is going to help maintain it. The Southern white people who have ruthlessly shot down defenseless colored people for years have now begun to shoot down each other. One can scarcely, pick up a daily paper published anywhere in the South without noting that white people all through the South are being shot down as if they were so many dumb animals. The white South should get civilized as soon as possible. WHAT DOES IT MEAN! We are not only surprised but almost amazed at a statement made in a recent issue of the Star of Zion to the effect that when the State Republican convention met a few days ago in the State of North Carolina that out of eight hundred delegates there was not a single Negro present as a member of the convention. What does this mean? Is it possible that all of the Negroes in North Carolina are cowards? Is it possible that men like John C. Dancy, Editor Clements, Isaac Smith, George H. White and a host of others have completely laid down and given up their political rights? Is it possible that Mr. John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds in Washington, cannot be elected as a county delegate to a State convention in North Carolina? Why should the Negroes of North Carolina be less brave than the Negroes of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and other Southern States? What does it all mean? Since reading this statement we can understand something of the ambitions and queer attitude of Editor Clements of the Star of Zion, but Mr. Clements should understand that he can never gain a victory by going over to the side of the camp. General Grant would have never used the Union if he had given up in despair and gone over to the side of the Southern Confederacy. Then the people of the African Methodist Zion Church do not care to have their church made an organ for the Democratic party. But all this is inside from the main question. The Negro people of North Carolina should begin work, should get together and see that they are represented in township, county, State and National conventions. SENATOR BENJAMIN HENRYCKE Senator Beveridge scattered a few flowers over the great audience that assembled at Youngtown, O., on the occasion of the opening of the campaign. And the Senator can do this act most gracefully. His allusion to the two candientes was thus happily put: "Mr. Bryan is an Aaron, but not a Moses; a Henry, but not a Washington; a Wendell Phillips, but not an Abraham Lincoln. He is the storm of unrest which clears the atmosphere, but not the trade winds that carry to port the freighted ships of a people's hope." This description will appeal to every one, even to Mr. Bryan's own partisans, as true in fact as it is felicitous in expression. And then Mr. Beveridge goes on to say: "Four years ago, in his own home, paying tribute to his character and mind, I called him a dreamer who beholds happy visions but achieves no useful deed. His is the mind that thinks of the barren field bending with grain; but his is not the plowman's hand, the sower's craft or the gleaner's husbandry. The poet's dream of an undiscovered Utopia has cheered us all; but the Pilgrims actually landing on Plymouth Rock planted the real tree of liberty, beneath whose real shade we rest and by whose real fruit we live." Then, keeping up with the illustration, he declared "Taft is of the Pilgrim stuff—his is the wisdom that makes the ideal vision the living fact." That was strongly and happily said. PROTECTIVE TARiffs PURPOSE Men say we have a protective tariff, a great panic and men out of employment all at the same time. There is nothing remarkable about that. A protective tariff won't prevent men from being reckless and heavily discounting the future. That is just as apt to occur in good times as in bad. Adversity is apt to follow prosperity if we are not careful. The good times that a protective tariff secures broaden opportunity to build and buy, and sometimes one, here and there, counts too much upon this opportunity and makes it embrace more than it can take care of. Then disaster follows. That is the meaning of a panic. Prosperity cannot help this. It belongs to the weakness of human nature; not to be satisfied. One reaches out for his desire and overreaches himself and falls. One can read the logic of a financial crisis and the suffering it brings in the experience of individuals. It is everywhere, in all time. Protection says: "Here is prosperity, now use is "wisely," and then we go to work, borrowing money and giving notes in every direction. Pay time comes, we fail to pay, go to the wall, and then curse the protective tariff, and say vote for Bryan. That is about as sensible as stumbling on a brick and then kicking the brick. The purpose of a protective tariff is to keep our home market. We do that, and abuse the privilege and growl because things go against us. A protective tariff cannot be depended upon to protect us against our rampant cupidity. BRYAN'S POSITION What do you say, Mr. Bryan? Democracy's fences in Georgia are badly shattered by the savage attacks of Tom Watson of the Populist party and John Temple Graves, the Southern leader of Hearst's league. Both were Georgia comrades in arms of the "Boy Orator of the Platte." The "Great Commoner" must now march to the relief of his hitherto rock-ribbed stronghold. Such leading Democratic journals as the Charleston News and Courier and the Birmingham Age-Herald are making insistent demands that he speak his mind on the Negro. Hold his feet to it! Is the Negro a man? Is he an American citizen entitled to the ballot, subject to the same qualifications as other citizens? Should the 15th Amendment be repealed? Speak up, Mr. Bryan! Say what you think. Perhaps better agree with nine-tenths of your electoral vote. The South will be safely and solidly for you. The Negro is safely and solidly against you. You've got to talk, Mr. Bryan. Talk right! THE GAREETES FAILURE TO NOTE Our contemporary, The Cleveland Gazette, has failed, to note that Senator Foraker paid Judge Taft the highest possible compliment at Toledo, and pledged his support, and a week later called on Judge Taft in Chin- challenged and removed the offer of support and gave the sentence that the would take the charge in the interest of Tuk. It came quiet that the one-white, black-eyed Cleveland Gunner persuaded all these important incidents to escape it. With Summer Poacher emotionally supporting Judge Tuk and praising him in highest terms, pray what is there left for The Couette to do but follow the example set by the distinguished Senator? Commander Hale is a direct descendant of the Revolutionary spy, who, on execution, regretted that he had but one life to give to his country. The question was as to whether Admiral Thomas Camp No. 9 (Negro) of Washington, D.C. should belong to the department of the district as well as to the national organization. "This son of the sainted martyr to his country's oppression gave the weakling's answer, "the South objects." But, veterans, the Negro will not be discouraged Never fear! He is going forward in the struggle. If he must, "tread the wine press alone," he can. The Vermont plurality for Governor Protty of 201376 is practically the Republican candidate's plurality of 26615 in 1994. Long-looked upon as a true index of the relative strength of the parties this year, is Bryan to be snowed under as was Parker? Does third-time charm mean that Mr. Bryan is going to receive this record drubbing? The press reports say Bryan objects to be introduced as the "next President of the United States." Aside from the many sad memories it recalls, he probably takes account of the omnious last words of Grover Cleveland, the deep knifings of that wing of the party, together with the loud-smoothed revolt of Hearst and his Independence League and Tom Watson and the Populist party. Are Mr. Bryan's objections not well founded? By a slight majority the Georgia Senate has turned down the Holder Convict Lease Reform Bill. However, the bare defeat indicates an advance of enlightened sentiment in Georgia. The searchlight has been turned through an extra session of the Legislature upon the militant practices and the corruptions of the chain gang and convict lease system of that State. This good has been done while permanent relief may be looked for at no distant session. The resolutions passed by the Spanish War veterans assembled in Boston for a joint national encampment of Union and Confederate soldiers will be turned down by the old boys in blue and the old boys in gray. This is going to the extreme of sentiment, to which the passing old heroes cannot soberly subscribe. There is no more reason why they should thus come together, than both should disband. Try as it will, this country cannot yet forget the unforgettable past. "The colored church and the colored lodge have had their annual meetings for the most part. The man of God and the secret order champion have proclaimed liberty to a sinking world." Now let the sinking world get in the cotton patch. They are wanted."—Dallas, Tex., Express. The Express is right. Now is the time to get down to actual work. FECTORIAL AFTERTHROUGHS These are "fat days" for the barbershop orator and the street-corner oracle. It ought not be necessary for a man to submit an interview to the press every ten minutes to convince the palpitating public that he is a "leader." As we go to press, that much-heralded organ of the national Negro Democracy has not been entered as second-class matter at the New York post-office. Nothing can be hoped for from a party that dares not mention the Negro race in its platform, and which is controlled by leaders who openly advocate a nullification of all the civil and political rights of the race. A District of Columbia white man stole twelve chickens the other night. This will furnish an item for the pert paragrapher who has been insisting that the chicken stealing industry was a Negroid monopoly. Brass bands are all right in their place, but they serve no good purpose in the preliminary canines where the plan of campaign is being marked out. Quiet thoughtfulness should be at a premium on such occasions. The brass band comes later, when the parade is ready to start. Senator Foraker denies that there has been a peace pact" between him and Judge Taft, for the very simple reason that there has been no breach in their friendship to bridge the gap. The Ohio Senator, like the festive Bert Williams, is "at peace with the wigld." John Tom Heflin, of Alabama, the champion of the infamous measure to foist "Jim Crow" street cars upon the beautiful city of Washington, where que fidelity is at a minimum, is a demonstration. It is one of the star performances in the Boston show which Breather Walden is asking intelligent colored man to follow and applied. Experimental colored managers, writers and speakers will work in conjunction with the Republican National Committee, bringing a plea to bring the best possible representation by them and where their talents can be utilized to the best advantage. This looks to us like a "square deal." A careful analysis of Judge Taft's speeches will indicate his entire somber on every phase of the race question. The correct answer is the utterance of the Presidential candidate are those who have never taken the points to read them in full. Let us be fair and take into account all the evidence before passing judgment in debate or at the polls. Confident as he is in the rightcountme of his cause and of the election of Judge Taft, Chairman Hitchcock is not underestimating the strength of the opposition, and is leaving no stone unturned to make assurance doubly sure. The situation is quite satisfactory, but the laborers in the vineyard are warned not to cease their efforts or take any risks through overconfidence. With the passing of John H. Smythe, former Minister Liberia, and of Henry Clay Clifford Astwood, former counsel to Sam buchgo and president Glen Clay, both for counsel to Calais, France, each within a few days of the other, is a solemn reminder that the "Old Guard" is rapidly disappearing from the scene of action. George A. Myers, the wise old political outlout in Ohio, has been dubbed "Cincinnatus" for the reason that he leaves his plow each campaign to get in where the fight is thickest, and then, when it is over, retires to his plow, asking, expecting and desiring nothing for himself. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Mr. Wim, J. Bryan is really the most popular acrobat we have in this country to-day. He dances and fiddlejigs as no other man can, and he expects to land the office of President through his various acrobatic feats throughout this country—Lexington, Ky., Standard. The Springfield, IL, anti-Negro riot differs in two points from most riotors of that city. First the mob put on leaders of it. More of them were killed and wounded than of the people they attacked. Second, the innocence of their intended victim is established while he is yet living, but in other cases it sometimes appears like a post mortem fact—St Louis Advance. To conserve our manhood rights, we must support the regular Republican ticket. Of the two Republican tickets in the field, that headed by Mr. Swisher is the officer, the most supported by the regular Republican supporters. Mr. Scherr's most ardent supporter does not hope for his success. The wisest course, then, is to support the ticket which has the best show to win—Charleston, W. Va., Advocate. It is a strange fact that the Democratic party, which has devoted so much time to disfranchising the Negro, now finds that the Negro vote is the very one that they need. Southern Democrats are cussing the black man out of the Democratic party and Northern Democrats are coaxing him into the colored brother is perplexed over his new-found friends—Buxton, Ia, Gazette We are Republicans, and it is our first duty to stick to the principals of the G.O.P., regardless of what a few deficated office-seekers may say. Office is not what a mass of our people need. We need protection in our homes and all the God-given rights of mem. The G.O.P. in this great nation has spoken and Taft has nominated a nominee for these United States. The G.O.P. has spoken in the first Congressional district and Bird S. McGuire is the nominee for Congress. Let us be loyal to our party, true to our families and honest with ourselves to vote for them—Oklahoma Safeguard. After all may it not be that the Springfield riot is a political affair? No proof of the guilt of the alleged rapist has ever been furnished, and the lady against whom the assault was said to have been made confesses that she does not know nor would she be able to know her identity. black men are not Negroes. Evidence of this statement was given in Georgia, sometime since, when a white man, in order to hide his identity, blacked his face before attempting to carry out his friendish plans. Politicians are slick ducks and it is possible that for political effect they previously planned to be on the watch for an opportunity to bring about the race and taking advantage of this on did so. Rate, there is sufficient food here, for mastication—Charleston, S. C., Messenger. Bishop Walters complains that the Republican party has not done certain things for the Negro. Can he recall any good thing that the Democratic party has ever done? Does he profess to be on speaking terms with the Democrats of West Virginia, who just a few days ago encouched in their platform that no Negro should be allowed to vote, and that every legal enactment of forty years which the Republicans have passed to protect the Negro in his rights of any kind was a great mistake? Does the bishop profess to have a speaking acquaintance, with any Southern bishop that would accord him the racial treatment he is entitled to? Is he a fact acquaintance of Tillman? Bryan, who epitomizes supposed interview in Lincoln, N.Y.? Does the big hypocrite in politics profess that he conscientiously expect the Democrats to do any, better than the Republicans?—Chicago Conservator. The Negro who is thinking of voting for Bryan should take a glance at Oklahoma, the new State, where Haskell, one of Bryan's managers, rules. Write my colored chlamis and he will tell you and to wipe the Nebraska became Hutchill in building him. "Jim Crow" was Hutchill's first law in Oklahoma and Bryan ordered it in a speech at Oklahoma City, while Judge Taft in a speech at the same place declared the constitution was not fit for decent people to live live and urged them to turn it down! Now, Mr. Negro, if you have any respect for the women of the race, come talking about voting for a Democratic President. We are receiving complaints daily from women of the race about indictment remarks made in their presence by degraded white men who ride in the "smoker" which the Democrats of Oklahoma have set aside for colored passengers. Colored men, for the sake of your wives, mothers and sisters, quite talking Democracy.—Topela Phaidealer. It might be a mighty hard matter for Bishop Walters' make the average intelligent Negro believe that by voting for Mr. W. J. Bryan that there is more certainty of relief from some of the ills he suffers politically. It is true President Roosevelt discharged the Negro soldiers, as every fair-minded man believes, contrary to the rules of common justice, but when Senator Foraker brought the matter before the U. S. Senate and attempted to get a vindication for the Negro troops, did not the Democratic Senators vote every time to sustain the action of the discharged troops? Is there a single vote recorded coming from a Democratic Senator which showed the least sympathy for the discharged troops? Mr. Bryan is actually afraid to utter one word that will show that he favors the full civil and political rights of the Negro. It would seem that if Mr. Bryan wanted the Negro vote, he would display some of his marked courage and say something favorable to the Negro. —Newport News, Va., Star. Let us compare notes and see where we stand on the Walters' line of argument and the Republican party. "Theodore Roosevelt dishonorably discharged a battalion of Negro soldiers. "Taft upheld his hands and he is no better than Roosevelt"—he shouts a little louder than he shouted the first shout. "The Republican party needs rebuking and the only way to do it is to vote for Bryan," he again shouts, making a point that he has in all his previous shouts. Then he stands with hands outstretched and looks steadfastly into the eyes of Henry Watterson and then and there tries to deliver to the Democratic party the entire A. M. E. Zion Church. He tells you about discharging a few unruly soldiers, but he is silent about Democratic disfranchisement of five million people. He tells how Taft upheld the President, but he doesn't say a word about every Democratic stronghold in the country having Jim Crow cars where his people are herded off like cattle. He tells us to rebuke the party that gave us the right to vote by voting for the party that deprived two-thirds of us of the right to vote. He practically advises us to slap our friends in the face and kiss the hands of our sworn enemies. The great A. M. E. Zion Church and the Negro, can get along very well without such leaders as Bishop Walters, Hutchinson, Kans. Journal. Some of the race leaders are inclined to argue that the Republican party of the country is in the hands of men who don't care for the Negroes' support, but no sensible or right thinking person could believe such a thing. There may be some overzealous individuals and some cranks in the ranks of the Republican party who are short-sighted enough to imagine that the party would be better off without the Negroes' support, and who are just as hostile against the interests of the Negro as there are in the Democratic party. But when the question is brought home to the level-headed, faded Republicans, they at once conclude that they should support the Negroes' support and do what they can to make that support most effective. Must we then spite the great majority by voting the Democratic ticket to get even with a few blood-thirsty, Negro-hating Republicans, who chance to be high in the ranks of the party? We appeal to our brethren North and West to weigh carefully their acts before they make a fatal blow. The party has sinned, but let the Negro retain what has been attributed him—a forgiving spirit, and vote for the Grand Older to be retained in office four years longer—Richmond. Va, True Reformer. --- Upon the next President of the United States will devolve the unusual duty of almost reorganizing the Supreme Court. The retiring age for Supreme Justices will have been reached or passed by a majority of the members of the Supreme Court bench with the next three years. Seven Circuit Court Justices and five District Court Justices are expected to retire during the next administration. So far as the interests of colored Americans are concerned, the characters of the men who will be appointed to fill these vacancies may be judged best by their political tendencies. Do the Negroes of the United States want a Democratic Supreme Court? Do they want a majority of the entire Federal jurisdiction to assist the hands of the Democrats? The realization has long-cherished aim of Southern politicians of a stripe. Will the Negroes of the United States take the chances of aiding the realization of this dream of Southern Democracy by voting the Democratic ticket? Or will they awake to the danger impending and avert it, regardless of other issues, by arraying their forces in support of William H. Taft and the Republican ticket?-Colorado Statesman. The attitude of two bishops of a great connection, namely, the A. M. E. Zion Church, in the political welfare of their people is a most interesting incident. Generally, we are not in favor of clergymen taking active part in politics, but as it is an accepted practice we most reluctantly submit to the inevitable and say amen to the measure. In this case it is a matter of right and wrong. The policies of Bishop Walters are too well established to admit of any comment; suffice it to say that for a number of years he has been one of the most dangerous captives and most men of the race. While the rope has been snaking wonderful progress and unprecedented advancement, his body has been to stay about the country from Maine to California telling the people how miserable is their condition and that in order to extricate themselves, they must have well enough power, turn their backs on the giant Bipolaris party, which brought such a large crowd, played the road to unarmed, unharmed, for the Democratic party, the party which has sanctioned all the lynchings, burnings, murders and disfranchisements, and which stubbornly fought against the 13th, 14th and 18th Amendments to the Constitution. It is fortunate, however, that Bishop Walkers is not taken seriously, and therefore all that he says and does is looked upon with amusement and merriment. It is a and sight to see that both great talents, which if properly directed, have great good for his people, commit the serious blunder of betraying a great people. The Negro is no longer the simple-minded character of forty years ago. Having been placed in a sphere of manliness and independence by the Republican party, which has brought them in contact with enlightened and civilized environments, he has adopted the tact of doing his own thinking. The Negro is an excellent listener, but is also a fine thinker, and while accepting advice patiently is famous for acting just as he sees fit - Philadelphia Defender. Don't Cut Off Home to Spite Your Ac: To the Editor of the New York Ac: As a reader as well as a lover of Tux Ac, I can't help but display my sentiments over the absurd ideas of Mr. Waldron. I can not see how Mr. Walrdon, as a leader of such a vast multitude of people, and a man of his type, can fail to see such a little distance in his political opinions. It is time that every man should see that out of the nomination of the two men, Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan, that Mr. Taft is the only man that would make a qualified leader of the nation. He is a good leaderable man, and is worthy and capable of the situation. He will make a strong President for the whole nation, and in making a strong President for the whole nation, he will make a strong President for the Negro. The petty animosities that spring out of the Brownsville affair, such a little act should not be the grievances of party success. For our future success is too sublime for us to withdraw from the party. We brought us out of the bondage of slavery, gave us the right of franchise, and made us recognize citizens of the country. Mr. Waldron should not let so petty a thing as the Brownsville affair perup his mind, or should he seek to impede others from maintaining their established rights. It is a sad waste of time for he or any one else to seek revenge by cutting off his nose to spite his face. We are fighting for the Republican Party because it has the best principals, and produces the greatest relief, and nothing to be expected out of the Democratic Party to unkind, unn American, cold, cruel, drastic and infamous measures against the Negro, and we will not be deceived in our expectations if the Democracies are placed in authority. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE If we may judge by the attendance at the recent meeting of the Niagara movement, from the District of Columbia, we can safely say that the movement is practically dead. So far as can be learned, no one went from Washington to attend this meeting except Mrs. Wm. H. Clifford, the wife of Mr. Clifford, who is an employee in the Treasury Department. We understand that at the meeting of the Niagara movement holding meetings were passed endorsing Mr. Bryan for President. The Lott Carey National Baptist Convention held its annual session in Washington a few days ago, and unanimously passed strong resolutions endorsing Secretary Taft for President. This is the convention of which Rev. Dr. Waldron's church is a member. A CONSTANT READER Washington, D. C. September 7 TO PROTECT OUR YOUTH. To the Editor of the New York Acq. Please allow me space in your most valuable paper for a reply to an article in a recent issue in reference to Rev. S. W Timms, pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church of Brooklyn, and Mr. Chas, Anderson's cafe. It is a fact, as stated, that the Rev. S. W Timms is located several blocks away from Mr. Anderson's place of business, yet there are no specified limits as to how far the gospel should extend. Rev Timms not only speaks of Mr. Anderson's institution and its evil products, but speaks of evil generally, regardless of where it is located. It was also stated that it is not that Rev. Anderson's congregation that frequents Mr. Anderson's place of work so he would not have them to reach to. If Mr. Anderson's patrons did not frequent Rev. Timms' church or congregation how did the article come about? for Mr. Timms and Mr. Anderson do not come in contact. It was also intimated that the preacher was not sincere. The intelligence of the writer of the article should convey to his mind that it has been and is the purpose of a good many white men for ages to use the Negroes legitimately or otherwise, re-legitimize to wield the spoiled character of our race. That Anderson why Mr. Anderson should establish an institution of the same nature, regardless of how much it may enrich him. Mr. Anderson should realize that he cannot rise any higher, than the purity of the feminine sex of his race. Thus becomes him and every other Negro man to help us become possible for the protection of our people. I consider Mr. Anderson's place and the like an assault on our youth. I would that we had more ministers of the gospel like Rev. S. W. Timms to enter protest against such places. When the June Milton of Illinois Died, For the past two weeks I have been talking about opposing truths. As the Cohab Camp with its wonderful other men is attaching so much excitement just now, I present in the article to before the readers of The Ace of a Law fags regarding the honor mine of the Cohab region. A party of brewers, capitals and mixing experts from New York, Boston and other cities visited the Cohak camp about ten days ago. Each one with whom I have talked since the return of the party presented La Rose minor "the queen of the Cohak camp." A number of the party members attended in the Wall Street Summary, September 8, and the following to say with regard to the Cohak camp in general and the La Rose minor in particular: "Conditions at the La Rose mine are these: On June 1, 1908, there was blocked out and indicated according to the engineers 10,250 tons, containing 4,084,645 ounces of silver, with a gross value of $4,091,736 (estimating silver at 35e, per ounce), amounting to $8,071,675 net profit. "Since June 1, 1908, to date, recent developments have increased the net profit in developed ore to approximately $2,500,000, not allowing for cobalt, nickel or arsenic values. It should be noted that this value exists in the developed ore alone, and in addition to this here, the enormous possibilities in the initial ore veins and the unprospected territory. "To date the output from the Cobalt silver district has reached the enormous sum of $16,000,000. The La Rose property is leading all others in the district in production and 'for August it produced one-quarter of the total Cobalt output." The ore reserves in sight on a small part of the La Rose mine affords ample proof to expert engineers that it is practicable to block out as much, and even more, from the same vicinity within a year. The ore is of an abundance of rich ore that is the striking characteristic of the La Rose properties. "A general and grave fault in the Cobalt district for a considerable period, which in some cases has come to a close, was a hide-bound conservation by men of no knowledge of modern mining science, whereby methods of development that were long exploded were persisted in by mining quakes and long illicit positions. Several mines long illicit in mining methods pursued in Coriwall in mining areas. These methods resulted in well-liked progress, and high costs. The La Rose properties are concrete examples of the application of the latest sound science of engineering to the work in hand. A geologist of world-wide fame, who has given long study to the conditions, is constantly employed, as are numbers of the most eminent mining engineers and mechanicians. Examinations and estimates of material at the La Rose north dump, made this week by visiting science, long experience in: liner mining under identical conditions in Mexico, exhibit this dump has about 13,000 tons of ore that, in servative estimate, is certain to yield 100 ounces of fine silver per ton, in addition to other metallic contents. This dump is worth not less than $75,000 in net values. An offer of $25 per ton for this dump has been declined. The present number of employees at the La Rose properties is about 150. The output for the past month was of the net value of $124,603. The estimated cost for this production is $16, making the net profit for August $108,603. For June, July and August of this year the output of the La Rose Company was 770,855 tons, of which the silver content was 778,117 ounces. The net profits for those three months was $138,799. More than one-half of the La Rose lot is yet to be scientifically prospected. Only a little stopping has been done. All work is being carried on with as rapid progress as good results to make these properties yield the highest possible returns from the right employment of engineering skill and business ability." ```markdown ``` There are two facts with regard to the La Rose mine which deserve special consideration: First...pot more than one-half of the property has been prospected; secondly, from a few veins on that has been prospected the La Rose is producing silver at a net profit of more than $100,000 monthly, or $120,000 annually, which is 24 per cent on its entire utilization. From this it would seem that the La Rose mine in the very near future will be paying a dividend, and a handsome one at that. In fact, the above figure, would warrant a dividend of 20 per cent. Now a stock that can pay a dividend of 20 per cent, and have left a surplus equal to 5 per cent, of its capitalization, should be worth at least twice its par value. Nippissing, for example, the par value of which is $5, pays a quarterly dividend of 3 per cent, or 12 per cent, annually, on its selling around $8 per share. By that same token the La Rose should sell much higher than the price at which it is now selling, $6.25 per share, for its par value; is the same as that of gf Nippissing; its capitalization is $1,000,000 less, its equipment is better and its production and net profits are greater. Draw your own conclusions The A. M. E. F. Zion Church, Rev A. J. Tophert, pastor, in planning for the church, laying of the church, which it has had for 30 years. The exercise will be held 30 afternoons, September 27. The church will be high with a meeting capacity of 270. EARR St. Louis, Ill., September 14. During the Suringfield riot the St. Louis Globe Democrat, considered one of the most influential papers west of the Mississippi River, published an editorial on the riot, in which the editor asked several questions. Prof. B. F. Bowles, principal of the Lincoln High School (colored) of this city answered the editorial as follows: I have had nearly forty years' experience in being colored, and I mostly claim to belong to 'the better class." The victim of his own prenatal carelessness has had, I assure you, much cause to ponder over the psychology of the color question in all of its phases. I hope, therefore, to be able to suggest to you some new kinds of productive thought. We discuss apparently fair and complete doubles well meant, leaves out of consideration many important elements a due regard for which would give your conclusions a very different hue. I cannot write a book to a busy man to state all of these things or even a few of them in absolute detail; but I hope that my efforts will be valuable at least for their suggestiveness. I accept as correct your statement as to the relatively commendable attitude of the white people of Springfield toward the colored people of that place until the recent past, but I do not see from anything in the present condition that the colored people have not been appreciative or that they have not substantially responded. The fact that the mob was able to destroy so many business houses of a reputable character is somewhat eloquently suggestive of the substantial growth the colored people have made. It is yet to be proved that the perpetrators of the crimes in question were residents of Springfield at all. Recently an influx of floating Negroes from the submerged sections, of the South, many not of the better sort, have been invading the cities of the North, and trouble has followed in their wake. They come partly because of the sections from which they come in devising new schemes of oppression and partly because, of the exaggerated reports of unfailing crops of liberty in the North. Northern municipalities receive them with no safeguards whatever offered to officers of the bad judgment habits of indulence, drunkenness, gambling and other minor crimes so long as they vote "right". Is it difficult to see that such liberty leads to license of the most dangerous and offensive character and that serious crimes will inevitably result? Need I state that no city should receive people of any race who are not, at least, honorably self-supporting. It should he stated also that, as a rule, these people have not received the highest ethical notions, nor have they come to attach a proper value to "virtue as a result of inheritance, precept or example. All unprejudiced people who know admit that the "unmentionable crime" is practically unknown in Africa, and it is a matter of common knowledge that the virtue of the Negro women has been assailed much too often by men of the dominant race, either by insidiousness or by force, from the landing at Jamestowt to the present day. Some of the brigt test careers in American history have been partly discolored by this foul stain. Here rests a grave responsibility. Is it strange that the foul-minded victim of these conditions, doubtless sometimes actuated by revenge, should sometimes seek to break down the barrier set by these inequalities? Let the white people start the reform by practicing the separation they preach. The Negro has no monopoly on "the crime of crimes," though it may or may not be true that, after allowing for false reports due to "attacks by "burnt-cork artists" and misrepresentations intentional or unintentional, he may have somewhat more than his share of the infamy. But it is certainly unfair that crime committed by Negroes would be considered intrinsically thicker than a precisely similar one committed by a white man, or that it should be given so much more newspaper notoriety with such beastly headlines. Many Crimes Not Mentioned. In fact, a crime of this character committed by either a white or a colored man on a colored woman is seldom mentioned. (A case of assault on a colored woman by a white man which came to the writer's attention six weeks ago has not been mentioned by the newspaper yet). The attack of a white man on a white woman will ordinarily (not always) receive brief and inconspicuous mention (the sentencing of an Illinois white man to the penitentiary for an assault on his own daughter attracted little attention (and no comment)); but the attack of a Negro on a white woman is heralded to all the ends of the earth in the most sensational manner possible. Here rests a large responsibility on the press. This sensationalism has often led to the charge that the press has been subsidized by the Tillman-Vardaman propaganda, the object of which is purely political. But the crowning infamy is that when a white man commits a crime he alone is responsible, but when a Negro commits one of the same kind, the responsibility is thrown on the whole Negro race. Such a conclusion is too unequivocal, unchristian, and positively harrors to be tolerated for a moment. Until 20,000,000 people be blamed for the diagnostery of pariage two dozen who are themselves not agitated in this society, and who have among them something like 100,000 unpublished manuscripts? Back of the prosecution in the South, the unimpaired tolerance in the North, the Titanian-Vardaman political propaganda and the mob outbreaks themselves in the backward swing of the moral gendulum of the present day, measured by the low debt of poetry, the loss of power of the church and religion, the indepennable political and business ethics, the intense materialism and the cheapening of human life. Eight Better Class of Influence Passing directly to the question, I will say that the resistance, as a bylaw by the white people, either by words or treatment, that all Negroes are alike robs the "better class" which you are kind enough to recognize, of about all of its influence with the "half-baked darky" whose bad characteristics you have so well described. So long as irreproachable character, combined with intelligence and high-class citizenship will not secure for the lowest elective African origin the lowest elective fear of "Negroes" the gift of the people fear of "Negroes" the colored soldier, returning from service in a foreign war in which he was "the bravest of the brave" incidentally saving the life of a future President, finds that immediately after his disfigure and return-home, while still wearing the uniform of the army, he cannot secure a glass of soda water in a third-rate drug store or a cup of coffee in a fourth-class restaurant, for fear of "social equality," there is little prospect of the development of an influence with the submerged. For instance, while remonstrating a short while ago with a wywdwad "sister" not long from some part of Tennessee, I was informed by her that my suggestions were not of great importance; or to quote: "Huh! You's a niggah jes de same as I is. We's-jes de to de white foks." And so they feel and so they will ever feel when a man of the highest character, 80 years of age, who had lived for a half century, so almost in the shadow of the capitol of one of our most intelligent Giorgio Bertolini, his days in peace, but must be hurried out of the world in the most fiendish manner by a drunken, robbing crowd of superficially thinly-coated barbarians, masquerading as the defenders of womanly purity! That a worthless Negro had committed an infamous crime was not the reason but the excuse. Working Under Dlouadvantage. This "all-look-s alike" attitude of the white people in general rubs the better class of "influence" or "force of moral suasion" and discounts "practical" argument." As to "social ostracism," that is impossible, for the reason that the better class of colored people no more receives these "half-baked darkies" socially than the President does at the White House. We wish that at least this much could be understood. Those who are trying to lead in the elevation of the masses of the colored people are doing the best they can in all the ways you suggest and many others, but they are working under tremendous disadvantages. Finally, "will they co-operate with the authorities to discipline them by force of law?" Emphatically yes, when given the authority. The better class of colored people have even less sympathy for the criminal Negro than the better class of white people have, and for evident reasons. Whenever colored officers have been tried they have done their duty well, but to require any one to control criminals without the authority of the law is absurd. The greatest immediate need is that the police and militia who catch criminals would shall learn to shoot—to shoot straight, hard and often as long a there is a law-breaker in sight. Then will mob law become an institution too expensive to maintain. The miitia is not sent out to hold camp meeting, or to distribute tracts. There is much missionary work for the better sort of both races to do. In the meantime, the majesty of the law must be asserted in no uncertain way. The better class of colored men are in favor of the greatest possible penalty with the most rigid enforcement for all crimes against women, "regardless of race or color." Very respectfully. B. F. Bowles. Supervising Principal; Lincoln High School. Sullivan of Mishampil Bonita of Helping to Kill a Negro. OXFORD, Miss., September 9.—William Van Amberg Sullivan, once a United States Senator for Mississippi, last night led a mob that lynched Lawson Patton, a Negro, who had cut Mrs. M. M. Millan's throat. "I led the mob which lynched Patton and I'm proud of it. I directed every movement of the mob and I did everything I could to see that he was lynched," said the ex-Senator, to-day. "Cut a white woman's throat?" And a Negro? Of course I want him lynched. "I saw his body dangling from a tree this morning and I'm glad of it." "When I heard of the horrible crime I started to work immediately to geta moll I did all I could to raise one. I was at the jail last night and heard Judge Rôane advise against lynching. I got up immediately after and urged the mob to Lynch Patton. "I aroused the mob and directed them to storm the jail. "I had my revolver, but did not use it. I gave it to a deputy sheriff and told him to 'shoot Patton and shoot to kill. He used the revolver and shot. I opposed him. There were some of those that killed the Negro. "I don't care what investigation is made or what are the consequences. I am willing to stand them." The ex-Senator is a lawyer, 51 years of age, was elected to Congress in 1896, and when Senator E. C. Walthall died, in 1898, was first appointed to succeed him and then elected to serve the unexpired term. His Senatorial career ended March 4, 1891.

Call on premises or SIMON E. OSSERMAN, 20 Broad Street July 16th Music and the Stage I NEW YORK'S COLORED THEATRE New Yorkers are at last to have a chance to decide the much mooted question: "Will a colored theater pay in Manhattan?" Since the success of the Pekin Theater, Chicago, under the management of Roert T. Motts, report after report has been circulated that a colored theatre would be established in New York City. However, on every occasion investigation proved that there was nothing to the rumor. Within the past twelve months several attempts have been made to make such theaters pay in several cities, but there is not a case on record wherein the venture proved a success. Columbus, for example, boasted of having a colored theater for a few weeks only, and in the short time not one week was profitable to the man in the box office. Many reasons have been assigned for the failure of the Dunbar Theater in Columbus. Some contend that the location was not the best, while others assert that the bill presented did not appeal to the majority of theater goers. On the other hand the management declared time and time again that the colored people did not come to the theater to ascertain just what kind of a show was being given. Late in the Spring a number of performers were taken to Montgomery, Ala, where a stock company was organized with a view of giving the patrons a bill similar to the one presented at the Pekin Theater. It was not long before the moving spirit wrote back: "The people down here don't want refined music and comedy; the majority of them want the low comedy, and we can't give it to them, so have closed." It was not many weeks after the failure of two or three theaters when Gus Hill, owner of many popular attractions, gave out the statement that he contemplated forming a chain of colored theaters in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. His announcement caused many to look for great things, but evidently Mr. Hill has either found considerable difficulty in getting theaters for his pet project or he has forgotten all about his plans of a few months ago. Now comes Manager George A. Bovyer of the Family Theater and notify the public that Sullivan and Considine have decided to turn the Family Theater into a colored theater; that a strong stock company will be organized with John Rucker as star and an experiment will be made to decide the question: "Will a colored theater pay in Manhattan?" Manager Bovyer and the proprietors of the theatre concluded to play a colored stock company indefinitely after the success of Rucker's big minstrel jubilee. Last week the house did an extraordinary good business, which appeared to be an indication that a colored stock company would prove a winning venture in Harlem. John Rucker should be commended for the stand he took against the theater management adopting any "Jim Crow" tactics. He noticed at one performance during the early part of the week that the colored patrons were sitting in one part of the house and the whites in another. After the performance he registered a protest against such methods. According to the managers they did not know that such had been done and blamed it on the ticket sellers, who were instructed to sell colored people seats in all parts of the house in the future. As we all know, there is in almost every instance a good reason for the managers attempting to separate the white and colored people in theaters. However the cause is furnished by only a few Negroes who do not know how to act in public and all are compelled to suffer humiliation. At one performance of the minstrel show last week the writer noted the fellowing incident: During the intermission, which was for a few minutes only, a colored man sitting down stairs arose and began, addressing an acquaintance sitting in the balcony. They both became very boisterous and some of the white people sitting nearby showed their disapproval by changing their seats. If the meaning of colored theater is interpreted correctly by the writer it means a playhouse where a company of colored performers is playing indefinitely. It does not mean that colored people are alone to petronise the place and conduct themselves as they please. While it is up to John Rucker and his company to make the artistic success at the Family Theater there is some responsibility on the shoulders of the colored patrons. It is the intention of the management to cater to the white and colored alike and it is desired of incurring the attendance of all. Frank Montgomery, formerly with the Smart Set Company, and later with the Pukka took Company, has been acquired as director of amputations and is ```markdown ``` FRANK MONTGOMERY WITH JOHN BUCKER B MINISTER JUBILEE AT FAMILY THEATRE staging most of the numbers. He is writing an entirely new show for next week, assisted by John W. Cooper and others prominently connected with the company. J. T. Brym is furnishing the majority of the musical numbers and a large share of last week's success is due to him and the New Amsterdam orchestra. Now that New York has a colored theater we are awaiting the public's verdict with interest. NOT TO BAR OBLORED ARTIST. Mgr. Honor of Independent Booking Office Bays There Will Be No Disturbance Shown. There has been considerable talk going the rounds that the Independent Booking Office would not book any colored acts because of the large interests the "White Rats" have in the new vaudeville agency. However, the writer is in a position to state that all such rumors are unfounded. In order to learn what was to be the attitude of the Independent Booking Office so far as booking colored acts, FRANK MO WITH JOHN RUCKER & BIG MINST the writer wrote to Edward Mozart, general manager, and asked him to define the position of the Independent Office regarding the colored vaudeville artist. The prompt answer received was as follows: "We play colored performers if their act suits. We played over twenty-five colored acts last season." A few days after receiving the letter from Manager Mozart the writer was the recipient of a letter from the colored vaudeville team of Scott and Whaley, as follows: To the Dramatic Editor of THE NEW YORK ARC Having been told by Mr. Edward Mozart of the I. B. O. Circuit that you wrote to him regarding the colored vaudeville performer, in reply to your letter we will say that Mr. Mozart will play-colored acts over his circuit. To prove this we have signed to play four weeks, commencing September 7. at Braddock, Pa., and we have the contracts in our possession, which are signed by us and the manager. We being the first colored team to play the new circuit we thought we would answer your letter so that you can be more satisfied: We also thank you in behalf of the colored profession for taking such an interest in our welfare. Hoping and trusting you will publish the true statements, we remain. Performers Defeated in Ball Game by the Sage of 7 to 8. Boston, September 15.—This is the second week of "Bandanna Land" at the Orpheum Theatre, and the show continues to do a "land office" business. One of the daily papers remarked a few days ago that more automobiles and carriages had lined up at the Orpheum Theatre during the past week than at all the other theatres combined. While Bert Williams is given great credit for being a great comedian and a "Frog," the Bostonians don't think much of him as a ball player as was shown last Thursday when he played in a game and was told that he was in the "Right Church but the Wrong Pew." The ball game, which portoked in a measure of a semi-society event, was played last Thursday afternoon between the Williams and Walker nice and the Washington A. C. Baseball Club, the latter defending the performers by the score of 7 to 8. The match was exciting at times. The feature of the afternoon was a home run by Second Baseman Henry Troy, Jesse Sharp, Jr., also played good ball. He received a good education in Germany and is an excellent musician. He has been complimented by Emperor William upon the excellent performances of his band, which has given concerts in all the capitals of Germany, and he has received testimonials from the rulers of most of the German States for his musical proficiency.

BENLIN, September 14—For criticising Sabak-el Cher, a Negro and handmaster in the Crown Prince's Regiment of the First Grenadier Guards, Eric H. Peterson, a white man, has been fined. Peterson wrote a letter to the Deutsche Zeitung, in which he said it was a shame that a black man should be placed in authority over white men in a crack regimental hand. Sabak felt aggrieved and took the matter to court. The case was heard to-day, and Peterson was fined $5. Sabak is of Soudanese extraction, and has long been the admiration of his regiment for his magnificent physical proportions and development. In addi- then he received a good education in Germany and is an excellent musician. He has been complimented by Emperor William upon the excellent performances of his hand, which has given concerts in all the capitals of Germany, and he has received testimonials from the rulers of most of the German States for his musical proficiency. COLLE AND JOHNSON IN PHILLY. Many of the Cotton Talek Well of the New Show. PHILAELFRIKA, September 16.—Cole and Johnson are giving the theatre-goers of this city an opportunity to see them in their new musical comedy, "The Red Moon," this week. The company opened at the Grand Opera House on Monday evening for a week's run. In commenting on the show the North American said: "In general make-up, music, company and performance 'The Rod Moon' can put forth good claims to being the best work of its kind ever presented by a company of colored comedians in this city." MANAGERS VS. SPECULATORS. At a meeting of the Theatre Managers' Association, held last week in the Hotel Astor, sixteen of the most important men in the theatrical business adopted a resolution which will start their fight on the ticket speculator. Mark Klaw of Klaw & Erlanger presided. After the meeting he said: "The ticket speculator will soon be a think of the past. There is no doubt that this nuisance will be abolished and the entire theatrical profession will stir public opinion to such a degree that the Aldermen will not dare dissent from the general verdict." At the meeting were Daniel Frohman, Al Hayman, Henry B. Harris, Charles Burnham, Leo C. Teller, Max Anderson, Henry W. Savage, E. F. Albee, William Hammerstein, Percy Williams, Frank McKeen, James Curtin, William Harris and George Kraus. Mr. Klaw read the following resolution: Resolved, That the Theatre Managers' Association of Greater New York appoint a committee of two or more to call upon the Board of Aldermen, or such committee thereof as is necessary, and arrange for a hearing for the purpose of abolishing sidewalk ticket speculation, which has grown to be a misance to both the general public and the theatres, and that this committee shall have the power to call upon this association or members thereof to render such assistance as may be necessary for the purpose of abolishing ticket speculation. The motion to adopt this resolution was made by Mr. Klaw and seconded by Mr. Hayman. It was adopted unanimously and the committee which it called for was appointed. Daniel Frohman, Mark Klaw, E. F. Albee and Charles Burnham are on this committee. Two years ago there was a fight by the managers to put a stop to ticket speculation, but the motion to abolish licenses failed to pass the Aldermen. At last week's meeting one heard frequently that the influence of "Little Tim" Sullivan had been directed in favor of the sidewalk ticket men, and the managers anticipate Sullivan's opposition this time. Theatrical Jotting. Fiddler and Shelton are in Bridgeport, Conn. "The Watermelon Trust" is playing at Keith's, Rochester. Brown and Navaro opened in New Bedford, Mass., Monday. The Hallbacks have returned from a successful tour out West. The Majestic Trio opened for a week's engagement in St. Paul on Sunday. Bradley and Martin have returned from the West and expect to remain in the East until spring. Great preparations are being made for a big musical to be given at the Alhambra, 85 W. 134th street, in the near future. Mine Dempsey continues as an entertainer at Coney Island, and says she will remain there until the weather tells her to go elsewhere. Cross and Cross are home after a successful tour of the summer parks. They will appear in vaudeville soon with the Ward Brothers. George W. Cooper, formerly of Cooper and Robinson, has another new partner—Chris Smith, the song writer. The team should prove a winning one. Joe Moore has called a rehearsal for next Monday when he will start preparing for the opening of his minstrel show at Huber's the latter part of September. Avery and Hart are added features this week in the "Vanity Fair" burlesque show, playing in Brooklyn. "The Dixie Serenaders" are one of the features at Hammersteins. Tom Fletcher, the leading comedian of the Memphis Students, says the hardest question for him to answer nowadays is "When are the Students to open?" He refers all to Messrs. Jordan and Blacklock. Williams and Walker's "Chocolate Drops," composed of Ging and Bailey, Florence Smiley, Mamie Watts and the Lacall Sisters, of which George Archer is manager, opened Monday in Pittsfield. The act was staged by J. Ed. Green and looks good. The Frank B. Williams Musical Club, of Hoston, gave a concert last Sunday afternoon at the Old-Ladies' Home. Hancock street. Frank B. Williams, a member of the Williams and Walker Company, in whose honor the club is named, was present and accompanied the singers. Misses Genève and Florence Steward recited and Mrs. Irene Jurex read. Mr. Williams and Miss Ida Gross, president of the club, were among those making short addresses. John Rucker and his big minnie jubilee are now in their second week at -the Family Theater, 1854th street, between. Park and Lexington avenues. They are presenting this week an entire new show which is receiving a hearty approval from the large audiences at each performance. Billy Ward, Frank Mougomery, Dan Prazier, DeForrest and Cooper are among the old favorites retained and several new festivities have been introduced, including a burlesque "Salome" danced by John Rucker. MUSIC AT HEALS IN NEW YORK. League Quinn Regarded Yearly by Manhattan Restaurant Men. The restaurant and hotel managers of New York are spending more than $2,000,000 a year for music to beguile their guests at dinner and tea. At the Waldorf-Astoria there are three and often four orchestra, and their cost exceeds $20,000 a year. Nahan Franko, who conducts an orchestra of thirty men at the Plaza during tea and dinner, is worth $50,000 a year to the management. Louis Sherry, in order to keep abreast with the times, has discarded his red-jacketed Venetian musicians and will import for next season the orchestra from the imperial palace in Vienna. This will bring his bill for music to a good $50,000. At the Hotel Knickerbocker, and the Hotel Astor the expenses for music are equally large. At the St. Regis, the Hotel Belmont, the Hotel Manhattan, Café Martin, the Netherlands, the Savoy, the Hotel Buckingham, the Hoffman House, and Reporter's no efforts are spared to enliven the public rooms with the strains of music. The most popular music with these diners-out is at present selections from the Puecini operas, and second in favor are the Vienna waltzes. There is always a demand for "Thais" and "Louise" and other new operas. Perhaps "The Tales of Hoffman" is called for as often as any other selection. To interpret music of this sort it is necessary to have men of good discrimination and an artistic sense, and frequently graduates of the great conservatories of Europe are glad to accept a steady and lucrative position in a hotel. With discriminating guests the managers realize the necessity of orchestras that will please the most fastidious. First a director is chosen—a man of some learning and experience. A comfortable salary is paid to each musician. He is worth it, because usually he plays from 1 p. m. until midnight with few intermissions. With the popularity of the tea hour, the usual respite of the late afternoon is eliminated. Then there are two hours between the dinner and supper hours during which players are released. It was the old idea to conceal the musicians from the public's gaze—to imprison them behind palms and sililax or poke them out of sight in an overhanging balcony. Now the personality of the men is emphasized, and usually the directors receive both attention and gratuities from the guests. In many places they join guests for a stein of beer, and week-end invitations have been extended to several long-haired maestros. The hotel musicians no longer feel that they are torturing their art by playing during the serving of lobster and champagne. They feel quite on a par with the men who play at the opera houses and with the symphony orchestras. The pay is about the same. Nahan Franko at the Plaza is widely known. During the winter he plays for the mighty hostesses of the fashionable world, and for his prestige the Plaza must pay dearly. His large orchestra is well drilled, and is the most expensive aggregation of musicians in any New York hotel. At the Waldorf-Astoria the music is of a high order. On the roof of this hotel the orchestra is reinforced by a huge talking machine, and while a Caruso record spins on its platform twenty-five men play a clever accompaniment. Owing to its size, there are sixty musicians employed by this hotel daily. Louis Sherry has announced his engagement of the court musicians of the Emperor Francis Joseph. There are twenty-eight men in this group. Johann Strauss, the "waltz king," was formerly the leader of these skilled men. At the St. Regis the Russian Symphony players have been wont to execute the wonderful music of Northern Europe. Gaitz-Hocky is the name of the little violinist at the Hotel Knickerbocker, who attracts throngs by his impassioned playing. The long-haired Russian often leaves his platform and fiddles through the crowd. Requests deluge this young man, and unless conversation is suspended while he plays for his patrons, he turns away in disgust. Gaitz-Hocky will brook no gastronomic rivals and he demands undivided attention. At the Hotel Astor there are three fine orchestras winter and summer, and two distinct groups play on the twin roofs throughout the hot months. The public hays great stress on its dinner music, and one sees humorous affectations by enthusiasts. There is one Titanian-haired woman who sits on the roof of the Waldorf-Astoria, and when Caruso in compressed rubber emits "Che Gelida Manina" from "La Boreme," the lady sways, and if her friends design to speak she silences them with a temperamental groan. There is the story of the very wealthy woman who scribbled on her visiting card and sent her request to Franko in the Plaza, "Play Tosca's Good-bye." There are the amusing mistakes of. patrofs who ask for certain music, and when played fail to recognize their selection. This assumed knowledge never fails to entertain the men at the violins. But like all whims of the people, there is great expense concerned in this insistent demand for good music, and not the public but the managers must foot the bills. By conservative estimates the tribute by the managers is more than $1,000,000 a year.—New York Times. Pekin Notes. The Golden Gate Quintette were a big drawing card last week and have been engaged for another week. The one-act Wise of Wise & Milton was well received and the efforts of Hen Wise and Mrs. Wise were loudly applauded during the entire week and their efforts in this direction shows them to be very capable performers. They have in preparation a new one-act comedy which will be seen later. Lew Lamar delivered his monologue in a masterly manner and his song "That's Enough," scored immensely. Professor Rogers, one of the greatest, and best ventriloquists has made a decided hit. Being the first act of its kind to be delivered by a colored person, makes it an act well worthy of being seen. Williams & Stevens occupy the boards this week with their musical sketch entitled "Dr. Doo Doo." Billy Earthquake makes his first appearance as a singing and dancing comedian. The Bennington Brothers (a white act) have a very clever acrobatic act. Miss Lottie Grady is being well received. Mr. Tim Owlsey, amusement director, is rapidly getting things into shape; as he has ability in that direction. SULLIVAN & CONSIDINE Family Theatre 125th Street, bat. Park & Lexington Avenue.

J Should be Taught as Well as Truces and Procession Among the Members of the Race McKazarron, Pa., September 14. Following is the address on "Education" delivered by Rev. Richard D. Stenson, D. D., vice-president of Morris Brown College, of Georgia, at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, this city, last week: "That education is one of the most important factors from any viewpoint, in race or individual elevation, there can be no doubt, and yet very much caution must be employed with the individual, conditions must be taken into account and essential training given. I need not attempt to impress you that it is very necessary to provide the proper training, realizing that there are varying degrees of capacity in different individuals and classes. Too many carpenters, blacksmiths, farmers, cooks and laundry workers have been spoiled in making poor lawyers, doctors, prescribers, stenographers and writers and it is often said, ladies and gentlemen when attempting to fit youth especially the youth of our race, for that which pays an honest return, give them the proper conception of life and prepares them for respectable citizenship—that Negroes are being made menials to serve the conveniences of other races. "Education, if it means anything, for a few years to come, means to prepare the masses of our race for a purer moral life, to earn an honorable livelihood and to add to the productive citizenship of the communities, wherein they live. The educational problem of the South is somewhat different from that of the North, in that there is a much larger number of uncultured youths in both races in the South, who are unpaying assets in the community, and while the South is taking a new life and is rapidly developing into a prosperous section if there is not a sufficient amount of funds to carry on the educational work in a substantial way. You should take into account it is not yet half a century since the South has undergone a very serious change, in that the South has become more loose penniless, without property and without education—and that the white people themselves labored at a great disavantage educationally. "I would not have you understand me to say that our race has not made wonderful progress in forty-three years. They have eliminated 45 per cent. of their illiteracy, they have greatly improved their home life; in Georgia alone, they own and control 175,000 farms, they pay taxes on quite $0,000,-600 worth of real property, their church and school property, non-taxable, amounts to $2,300,000 and they have church membership of 600,000 persons. "Let me stress, with all the power of which I am capable, that the difficulties to be overcome, the heights to be surmounted in the present and future, require far more caution and conservation than the problems of the past. "Practical training is that most needed in our section for the reason that the race is just now beginning life, and their moral uplift, their intellectual fitness and their earning capacity have all to do with what they will be worth to themselves and to those among whom they are to live. Institutions are willing to train professionals, leaders, and the select but to shape the lives and policies of the masses as well. I have no criticism for the advocates of higher training. I think all education essential in elevating a race, but having studied the condition, many phases of the life of our people in the country, I am persuaded that the training of the hand is more generally in demand everywhere, and all the more so, because we have had but little chance of education, at home making, land owning and at fitting the race for practice service. And how shall we do away with the called problem of race except by fitting each member of the race to do some one thing well and seeing that he does it? This is our educational problem in the South, adverse criticism notwithstanding. "The opinions of the South, with regard to the education of our people and their betterment, are of two classes. This may be seen through the educators, newspapers and the common people. The one class believes that the Negro proves a better citizen when trained than when untrained. The other class believes that he spurs work and aspires to that which unfits him for usefulness. For the sake of argument let us grant much that is said by the second class of thinkers. Those of our people who are educated and are being educated in the right way, are not among the criminals in our country about whom you hear so much; but as a rule they are the land-owners, home-owners and those who have the most correct mind. They may be depended upon when decent of the day, in almost every community of the South. Many of them are trying to adjust themselves to conditions—to cooperate with the best white people in making the community tell for good. Very cordial relations exist in many Southern communities between white and colored people. More and more the Negro is receiving justice in the courts, he is having the assistance of the best white citizens in securing property, he is being encouraged in his educational movements and in the securing of church property and in whatever he attempts for the uplift and betterment of the race. "I am not unmindful of the irregularities that are reported through the prove almost daily. What else could be expected from the south where so recently there existed the rubber of matter and slave and where even now there is so large a class of those who do not know right from wrong? I almostly believe that both races are admired of a great many things that happen in our communities. But who can prevent them? If we all would seek to maily the good and my bad, if we could be the majority of making ourselves instead of including the slaves, there would be less of friction and crimination, more of good will, good cheer and happiness. This we are trying to see and learn and put into practice in the South. Whatever may be said, the white and Negro people of the South are getting together. I know whosoof I speak; I have just held a number of educational mass meetings in the State of Georgia. In several places some of the most prominent white citizens took part, a large number attending meetings, a large number meeting and am persuaded that too large a number of our people have, imagined ideas about the best white people of the South. Some of our best friends among the white people of our country are in the Southern States. "Less and less attention is being given to the person or agency that attempts to array the two races against each other in unequal and unprofitable competition. There is nothing gained by either the white or colored man." "The work problem must, for years, command the attention of our people in that section. The undeveloped condition of the Southland warrants that the two races work in perfect harmony. To do otherwise is to cripple labor conditions in that section. Seventy-five per cent of the work throughout the servant realm is done by colored people, the majority of whom are untrained and subject to the common ills of untutored and untrained minds; any sort of injustice, is sufficient to arouse their suspicions and once aroused they are worth little to themselves or to anyone else. "Whatever the South is to-day, the Negro has aided in making it. He ought to be encouraged that he will have no opportunity, there were more of him, so long as he is in harmony with good behavior, good character and is a lover of honest toil. "Nothing, in my opinion, will hasten the ideal condition of things more rapidly than the ideas and principles now being promulgated and put into operation at Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga." VISRONN AND DANCY CARRY PHILA- DELPHIA. Negroes on Federal Service Doubled in This Administration—President's Precedent WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 16.—Worries come from Philadelphia that the largest demonstration made in years by Negroes in that city in behalf of the Republican party was that of last Thursday night in the Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church, on Broad street, near Fitzwater. The meeting was under the auspices of the Civil Rights League, recently organized there to look after the political interests and general welfare of the colored people. The principal speakers were two of the most prominent orators of the race, Hon. John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, and Hon. William T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury at Washington. Mr. Dancy was fired with enthusiasm for the Republican party and for the national ticket, and made what his admirers considered "the effort of his life." He succeeded in generating in the great audience of 2,000 all the enthusiasm he felt himself and every point was given to vociferate cheerfully in that of "That's" his "Hit me!" In the hour that Mr. Dancy held his hearers spelled bound he extolled the record of the Republican party and recited its achievements in war and peace, and described its labors to make the black man a full-fledged citizen of the nation. The credit of the government, the protection of our people in the enjoyment of their civil and political rights, and the integrity of the courts are all bound up, he claimed, in the continuance in power of the party of freedom, commercial expansion and civic equality. To the surprise and delight of the vast assemblage, Mr. Dancy met the Brownsville question squerely and placed all the blame for the vexations episode on the shoulders of the Democratic party. He made it very clear that the Republican party made the Negro soldier possible and that the Democratic party is on record as favoring the complete elimination of the Negro from the army. He recalled the fact that the Republicans all favored the restoration of the soldiers, differing only as to method, while the Democrats stood like a stone wall in opposition to their return to the army on any basis. He brought down the house by declaring that it was idiocy for any colored man to attempt to prove to an intelligent audience that the triumph of the Democratic party would impute to the enemy the foolish to assert that the election of Bryan would be a vindication of Senator Foraker, whose valorous defense of the race he deemed worthy of the highest praise. A vote for a party, which stood out against Foraker and the Negro would be an abandonment of all that the Senator had stood for last year, and would be a fatal handicap to the plan of adjustment arranged by the party leaders for the next session of Congress. Mr. Dancy traced the entire incident from the appearance of the troops at Brownsville to the discharge, proving that the prejudice of the Democracy against Negro soldiery started the trouble and had finally defeated the efforts of the Republicans to bring about a satisfactory ending up to this time. The matter, he felt, will be adjusted on an occasion, and a vote of confidence in the Republican party would be the longest step toward such an action. Mr. Dancy brought forward statistics to show that the Republicans had accorded to the Negro a fair share of the official patronage and that more would be given in the future, while nothing worth while could be hoped for from the Democrats, who had not the courage to mention the race in its platform. On the contrary, he said, the race would lose, to a very large extent, the recognition it now has in the event of Mr. Bryan's election. Register Vernon followed in a brief but eloquent address, in which he compared the records of the parties and pointed out the dangers that would through the Negro in the point of Democracy's mission. He praised Mr. Taft and asked him of his great friendship for the Negro and the dark races in the Philippines and Cuba. He had no doubt that Judge Taft would make a President whose the colored people would revere as they do Lincoln the Democrat. He would be just, sympathetic, strong and progressive. Both spouses were usually applauded throughout their work. Other spouses were delivered by Dr. John M. Palmer of Chicago, Dr. Dr. C. A. Tindley, E. J. Wearin, Rev. G. L. P. Taftlew, Bishop J. S. Caldwell, Bishop G. W. Clinton and C. W. L. Offard, secretary of the Civil Right League, Bishop Caldwell, of the A. M. E. Zion-connection, a staunch Taft advocate.

BATTS, PROPRIETOR Writes for further information. Below are given some statistics showing what the Republican party is doing in a substantial way for the Afro-American, Office-holding does not cover everything a race wants, but the recognition of the Negro's ability to administer a public trust, and to protect his civil rights in addition thereto, surely entitles a party to more credit than a party that does neither—nor even promises to do anything of a helpful nature, morally or materially. According to carefully-compiled statistics the number of Afro-Americans in the service of the Government, exclusive of the army and navy, has more than doubled in the last four years of the Roosevelt administration, and their number increased to $900,000 in 1904 to over $900,000 in 1908. The following table shows the number of Afro-American employees in the service of the Federal Government, the bulk of whose retention depends in a large measure upon the continuance of the Republican party at the national helm: Afro-American officers, clerks and other officers in service of the United States Government, 1908: No. Salaries.

This is the showing made by the party which some misguided professors and visionary shepherds are asking the Negroes of the nation to turn out of power. The bad statement of facts, as given above, make the argument. The record may be read and understood in all its force by him who runs. Long memories are not bad when they recall the good things that happen, as well as the unpleasant episodes of life. President Roosevelt promoted Chaplain W. T. Anderson to the rank of major in the United States Army; he has retained Major Lynch as a paymaster when the retiring board wanted to put him out of business; he appointed Chaplains Gladden and Scott at handsome salaries as the successors of two other colored chaplains who had reached the age of retirement; and, in conjunction with Secretary Taft, a system has been adopted by the War Department whereby three capable colored musicians are leading the bands of as many colored regiments, succeeding white musicians; and the Fourth Regiment will have a colored leader as soon as a vacancy occurs. These are a few of the good things we should remember in connection with President Roosevelt's administration. President Roosevelt does everything in the open and on the level. His letter in support of Judge Taft is just what might have been expected from a manly man, who believes in standing by his, friend and in hitting from the shoulder for policies which he considers right.

C., September 14. — Word reached the War Department last Saturday morning that Harry H. Hargraves, a clerk in the office of the chief of ordinance, met death from a revolver shot near Gordonsville, Va., yesterday. Hargraves was on leave of absence from the office and was spending his vacation near Gordonsville. It appears that he started on Saturday with a party of friends to go to a camp meeting near-Gordonsville, and that when they reached a stopping place he undertook to take a pistol from under a seat in the wagon they had used for the trip. In some way the pistol was accidentally exploded. The contents lodged in Hargraves' abdomen. Every assistance was rendered. Hargraves died two hours after the accident. ; He remains were brought to this city The house has been enlarged and has spared daily appointed sleeping rooms. All medium improvements.

According to Chief Clerk Cook, of the ordinance office, Hargraves was one of the most efficient clerks in that bureau. He was from Zanesville, Ohio, and entered the bureau as a laborer at $45 a month in June, 1900, and was promoted through merit to a clerkship at $1,400 a year. He made a specialty of the study of civil service reform and was regarded as an expert in that subject. He had a home on Wisconsin avenue just beyond Tenleytown. Dr. Washington at His Old Home. CHARLESTON, W. Va., Sept. 15.—Dr. Booker T. Washington delivered an able and instructive address last night at Mercer Hall in the presence of an overflowing audience. It became known a few days ago through a telegram to Dr. H. F. Gamble, that Dr. Washington would spend Sunday in the vicinity, visiting his sister at Malden, the home of his boyhood, the spot from which' he journeyed to Hampton to lay the foundation of his unique career. A meeting of prominent citizens was immediately held at the residence of Mrs. Annie Fulks-Davis and it was agreed to ask the doctor to extend his stay until Monday night, to give the people an opportunity to bestow upon him some of the hospitality for which the Kanawhans are justly famous. Dr. Washington's consent was secured and the big meeting followed. He was afterwards the guest of the city mayor at a magnificent reception the K. P. P. The proceeds derived from Dr. Washington were used to endow a bed at the General Hospital for Indigent Colored Persons.

Excelsior Club was founded by John Wesley Williams, P. N. F., of Terry Lodge, G. U. O. O. F., May 9, 1897. It was organized and named Excelsior Lodge 7335, G. U. O. O. F., on September 14, 1897. We take great pleasure in announcing to the public that its first annual son-in-law picnic will be given at the hattan Association picnic ground, 15th Avenue, Eighth Avenue, Wednesday, September 30, 1898. All lodges of the Order, Patriots and Households of Ruth are cordially invited to attend, and witness the grand drilling exhibition by the New York and Philadelphia Patriots. A grand time will be given to all, as the committee will make it the best occasion of the summer. It is the last picnic of the season. The famous New Amsterdam Musical Association will be in attendance with continuous music will ensliven the occasion. The Excelsior Auxiliary will serve refreshments which will please you. Tickets of admission thirty-five cents. While so many receptions, picnics and entertainments have already attracted your attention, we enormously beg to state that this being our first public function, we pledge our early care of children of all ages, of gender, of public, and look forward with a feeling of satisfaction when we can make the announcement that we have eclipsed all records of past entertainments in bringing friends together to renew at the festal shrine the pledge of friendship. This will characterize all our public functions. We sincerely hope to have a large attendance in order that we may the arrangements made by our committee we feel that by your assistance, this entertainment will eclipse all previous efforts and cause you to be glad you were present.

Morris, who holds in undisputed claim the brethren's pride and love; he served two terms then held inside the order's office, and he was the most accomplished almoner with the glory of his achievements just as gold almoner when touched by the splendor of the sun. All of these men after retiring from the highest office in the gift of the order, no doubt saw things done and acts performed by those who succeeded them that possibly were not always in keeping with what they themselves would have done; but not one of them, so far as our fraternal history discloses, ever sought to prevent the accomplishment of that which he would not have done, save through the methods of procedure laid down by the rules of our order. It must be that these minds representing all phone calls and communications were agreed upon the one thing and that was, that within the order and by the order there was a way to right every real or fancied wrong. What a glorious record? what a brilliant past! On the 15th day of May, 1907, however, this record was broken, for there was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, in the State of Pennsylvania, the case of J. McHenry Jones against the Sub-Committee of Management, by which suit your former Grand Master should be convicted into adultery with the S. C. M., by the formance of its duty, as it saw that duty, had solemnly declared did not exist. This in a land, in theory if not in fact, of law and order, the doors to whose courts are open to all citizens who chose to enter. Into them may the humblest and most obscure member of any lodge, or the highest and most exalted master or former master to unburden himself of his real or fancied wrongs. And so in chronicling the events that have taken place since we met, I have thought it my duty painful to tell the fact that such a suit was begun, and also to further state that in December, 1907, this suit was dismissed at the instance of the plaintiff, and now the fact that it ever was is but a memory. Was this a wise act on the part of the ex-Grand Master or was it an unfortunate mistake is an interrogatory for those who pame to consider this part of the record as it is presented to them on the pages of the order's history. I have the desire to comment upon the propositions presented for your consideration, but other matters that have made strong claims for space in this adjourn have left no room for a treatment of those propositions. Am I then prevented from submitting to you the recommendations I would have to offer touching the legislation which will be undertaken at this session. Your love for the order, your experience in its councils, and your knowledge of its needs are to me sufficient assurances that you will not permit any harmful laws to be placed upon the statute book of this great fraternity. The Sub-Committee of Management will fully convey the appreciation I have of my associate members on the Sub-Committee of Management. The memory of their personal friendship, loyal devotion to the interests of this order, and perfect integrity—as I have seen them unvariably displaced during the past two years—will remain with me as long as life last shall. Whatever of me has been due to the labors of this service did body of men, to these brethren who were wisely chosen as the guardians of this great order. Whenever the clouds hung low and the thorn-filled path grew dark and dreary, they whispered words of cheer and helped me on. Again, and yet again, I have felt my soul wax stronger and the burdens grow lighter and the needles and the help they gave. I have been blessed with their good comradeship. "For this is the true good comradeship. In the life we live together That holds to a friend with a firmer grip The rougher the way or weather. I proudly acknowledge in your presence, this day, "the debt immense of endless gratitude" that I owe these members of the Sub-committee of Management. Recommendations The advantages to be derived from sanitary surroundings and obedience to the laws of hygiene are so great, and the need to reduce the death rate of our race no urgent, that I take this opportunity to recommend that the physician employed by each lodge be requested to attend from time to time - at stated periods, by hygiene, and the preservation of health. You will find the medical profession interested in the subjects and willing to lecture free for your information. I urge that you arrange for those in your vicinity to secure the benefits from such a course of lectures. I recommend that the lodges in every place will purchase property and that be indemnified lauded judiciously selected it will prove a good investment and elevate the lodge in the esteem of the community. I endorse the movement which seems to be growing in popularity to have the social life of the neighborhood promoted through the efforts of the lodge and heartily recommend that the members of the order will contribute to the social development and benefits of the vicinity through the medium of the lodge organization. I recommend that each and every lodge will place its treasurer under a bond in a reasonable amount. This recommendation is not the result of any loss of confidence in humanity, but is presented as a business proposition in the name of which obtains all well-regulated, institutions where trust funds are held in custody. I recommend that more attention be paid to the widows' and orphans' fund to the end that this voluntary charity may be. more liberally enjoyed by the surviving loved ones of our deceased brethren. A voluntary tax, small in amount, but regularly paid will enable the lodge to fulfill obligations without the membership of the branch in any manner feeling the burden. I recommend as worthy of emulation the example set by the fraternity in the city of Greater New York in celebrating Peter Ogden Day. While I would not commit myself to a favorable recommendation of May 29, because that follows so close upon our annual Thanksgiving day, still it seems that some suitable date could be selected whereon we could pay proper homage to the memory of our illustrious and much revered founder. Queen of Sheba Household, No. 20, has introduced the Intelligence Bureau feature, by asking at the clerk of each meeting the questions: "Does any imme- ture know of a vexant position?" "Does any immeasure desire a position?" In this way the members are kept employed, many of them having profitable and remunerative situations through the services of the Household. It has been no successfully operated that I urge and recommend, wherever practicable, Intelligence Burens will be established by our lodges and Households, in order that the members and show to the world a body of industrious citizens continually employed in gainful occupations. ordered correctly, wisely, and well. When evening came, with its last and holy hour, his son went down behind the western hills, closing life's long and useful day. His end was calm, peaceful, and serene; he closed his eyes and spoke no more. So faded the summer cloud away. So kisses the gale when storms are over. So gently shuts the eye of day. So dies the wave along the shore. LARGE HISTORY A HOW MONSTERIZED DOWN About the The Y. W. C. A., Branch, held a most ecting, Sunday evening, at Church for the purpose the attention of the the betrayal that a sheer size of attendance. Then a size of attendance. The meeting was no Several years ago there was established in the District of Columbia an organization termed the Old Fellows Veteran Association. It was merely an experiment, but experience has proved the value of the society, and it is now firmly established in the city of "Magnificent Distances." This association admits brythems whose membership in the order covers a period of twenty-five or more years and guarantees to keep them always financial in the event of lodges. It has been so helpful to the fraternity that the District of Columbia that I am associating approve its operation and register the hope that other bodies and places will establish similar associations, thus assuming our aged brethren continuous membership in the order as long as the day of life shall last. The Patriarchies of the G.U.D. of O.P. At the Thirteenth B. M. C., a proposition was adopted making radical but improved changes in the government of our Patriarchies by organizing them into regiments, providing that the Grand Master should appoint a Major as the commanding officer and creating a legislative body to be known as the General Staff Council. At the session of the S. C. M. held in January, 1807, P. M. V. P. James W. Jones was appointed Major-General, by and with the advice and consent of the Sub-Committee of Management. He has undertaken with real and arbor the work of the military branch, and has organized our Patriarchies into fourteen regiments which embrace the entire jurisdiction of the S. C. M. The new life and interest growing out of this scheme of reorganization attest the wisdom of the B. M. C. in providing change from the old to the new. An expression of praise for General Jones for the exceptionally able manner, in which he has discharged the duties committed to his care. The Patriarchies, which have contributed so much to the glory of our Fraternity, deserve more loyal support from the Brotherhood everywhere. There ought to be in every city a Patriarchie, in every county several. There are so many advantages that assure you from this branch that its blessings should be in reach of the thousands of our order. You owe it to yourself, to the community in which you live, to the order you revere and love, to have a Patriarchie at your home. Instead of 140 of these branches there should be 1,400. Please with you to go out from this branch to your home and forthwith begin the work of organizing a Patriarchie for yourself and the brethren dwelling where you abide. Concurrent with this B. M. C. is the session of the Grand Staff Council at which I hope some helpful legislation will be enforced to the end that our military ranch may be assured a future that will accord with our best wishes, brightest hopes, and the true grandeur of the order. At the Thirteenth B. M. C. a law was enacted directing the B. M. C. the Grand Household, the Past Grand Masters' Conference and the Grand Staff Council to meet in the same city and at the same time in biennial sessions. In obedience to that law the representatives of the four great branches are here assembled. It is well, for we are one. I have thought that before the various sessions are at an end we should meet together for an hour in one great gathering, long enough at least to sing. "Blest be the tie that binds." And now I suggest that an hour on some day during the week be set apart in memory our loved and sacred bond and the other three branches be invited to join with the service in remembrance of those of our order who have set sail for that haven from which the first homebound bark is yet to be seen." This suggestion embraces my recommendation for a memorial service in honor of the departed ones; for each and all who during the last two years have finished the journey to their dwellings of rest. Life! What is it but sunrise, growth, strength, work, thought, strife, conflict, hate, love, honor, wealth, fame, and then sunset? Men come among us in the narrow avenues of our lives, in the sunrise of their existence. We join hands with them and they with us in some of our more common subjects or purposes that present themselves in life's undertakings. To us one becomes a leader, another a fellow workman, another a benefactor, a helper and a friend; in this way they get wrapped up in our lives and we in theirs, then when the sun goes down there comes real sorrow for the parting is hard. In every lodge of this order there is some one member, over and above all others, whose labor has made for the lodge's upbuilding and betterment; in the order there are those whose services have advanced the fraternity, and sadness follows the sun, the sun comes down, the sky's bright red rose of love, blooms no more upon the life's journey of those who labored, of those we loved. On the 14th day of December, 1907, in the City of Boston, Mass., he hailed as its Deputy Grand Master, heard the calling of mother earth in the music of the waves from the nearby, throbbing ocean. The red sumet of his life faded into night. Around the world, he observed the bloody of his activities the twilight wrapped its mantle and to him there came no earthly morning—all was eternal, everlasting sumet—Andrew B. Latimore was dead. And the sound of a voice that is still! On August 2, 1908, in Philadelphia, Pa., the city of his birth, Robert Jones, Sr., who had served this order as Grand Master from 1791 to 1874, passed into eternal rest. The day of his life had been long; and in this day, from dawn till dusk, he had hob- ared correctly, windy, and well. When evening came, with his host and holy hour, his sun went down behind the western hills, closing life's long and useful day. His end was calm, peaceful, and serene; he closed his eyes and spoke no more. "So fades the summer cloud away, So sinks the gale when storms are oer, So gently shuts the eye of day, So dies the wave along the shore. Innovation and Strength of the Ocean. Through the energy and fraternal势 of Bro. Oscar J. W. Scott, chapain the Twenty-fifth Regiment, United States Infantry, chapain the Thirteenth B. M. C. we have been able to establish a Lodge in the Philippine Islands. We granted a dispensation to open a Lodge in Parang, Moro Province, Philippine Islands. Thus you see we are marching round the world, hoisting and waving our hammer in every land. The growth of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows has been phenomenal. In the past two years we have increased over 1,000 branches and added 45,000 members to our roll of members. We can offer a record to compare with this. We have the world an organization of 10,000 branches, with 400,000 members, marching forward, with no division in our ranks. In Review. Now you have done with us noting the army's movements, watching it in constant action, in skirmish, and in battle; you've seen the forts and strongholds taken; viewed each port that has been captured; heard the shouts and songs of triumph as victory perched upon our banners. You have seen this army ever advancing, ever aggressive, every victorious; militant, mighty, marshless. You have stood on the bridge of the flagship as the vessels went sailing on; you've seen the fleet plough through the waters; viewed the quick and shilled formations; watched the gunners strip for action seen opposers wholly vanquished; looked at towns that have been taken in the name of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The army has given you new territory in which to distribute the blessings of this Fraternity; the army has given you new territory in which to place the famine torches of Fraternity Love and Truth; new landings on which to build temples for the hoops and help of men. Perhaps our orders have not been the best that could have been given; perhaps the army would have accomplished more under another commander; it may be the navy could have been better managed; it may be that we did not properly construe and rightly interpret your wishes and desires, but we have done the best that we could. We have remained at the head of the column, never hard to reach if shot or shell; we have staid aboard the ship in the fereest storm and mightiest gale. Here is your army, comrades, greater than when we first took command; here is your navy, sailors, strong, splendid and supreme.
