THE NEW YORK AGE. DUAL SYSTEM IN GEORGIA Discussed at Length by a Former Governor of the State Says For Forty Years Georgia Has Operated Under Convict Lease Law and Mob Law ATLANTA, September 21.—Former Governor W. J. Northen, considered one of the South's best-posted men on crimes and punishment, recently discussed the convict question in which he urges that the authorities pay more attention to riots and also seek to abolish mobs. He said: "It is altogether impossible to forecast the final and complete action to be taken by the general Assembly in the settlement of the complex and puzzling convict question, but it is plainly evident that the system will be abolished at some time in the near future, and that, thereafter, the State will never again delegate to individuals, corporations or counties its penal function. "If the re-enactment of this fundamental principle of government is to be made complete and applied to all criminal procedure, then the money expended and the time consumed will never be regretted. If the action refers simply to the penitentiary system that handles the convicts of the State, on the inside, and is not intended to cover the brutal punishment of alleged criminals on the outside, then all the discussion and resultant-enactments will be but little more than a travesty on law and order. "For forty years the State has operated under a dual criminal system, the one department known as the convict lease law, and the other known as mob law. The first department is now under discussion by our general assembly, after a most painstaking and thorough investigation of its savage cruelties as applied to convicts and the alleged neglect of the officers of the law chosen to guard the rights of the criminal in their charge. "The investigation has disclosed the brutal murder of one white boy, one white man and two Negroes during the past eleven years—the term of official supervision by the present commission. Because of these murders and minor cruelties inflicted the commission has been severely censured, the lessees have been held up to abhorrence by the public and the people throughout the State have not hesitated to express their hot indignation and their displeasure. The State is thoroughly aroused and a radical change is demanded. "No man has yet proposed to investigate the other branch of our penal system. It is true mob law has never get been legalized, but it is equally true it is seldom if ever challenged. The mob does its work unhindered and that is the end of the proceeding. "During the past fourteen months the mob has murdered one white man and eleven Negroes, nearly one for each month, as against the convict system that furnished about one for each three years. Of the mob's victims some were charged with criminal assault; some Negroes charged with murdering white men; one stealing less than $5 and one for running a blind tiger. All of these were lynched by the foadside; three were lynched and burned—a public performance, but no public challenge or proposed censure, criticism or impeachment. None of these had the benefits to come from trial by jury or conviction by the courts. They were just put to death under the authority'of the mob. The mob, like Louis XIV seems to be the State, as it executes its own will without let or hindrance. "There is now confined in the Fulton county jail a white man charged with criminal assault." He was run by the State from a north Georgia county because the State was afraid of a threatened mob. In the Bibb county jail is confined a Negro charged with criminal assault. This man was run from a south Georgia county because the State was afraid to face a threatened mob. What a spectacle! "To meet this, very contingency and enforce the law and defend the authority of the State a bill was introduced by Hon. Warner Hill and enacted, unanimously, into law by both branches of the general assembly during my administration, empowering the sheriff to summon to his aid, with arms, every citizen in the community, if necessary, to defend the law. Under the force of this enactment any officer of the law who flees with his prisoner dishonors his office and advertises the State a self-confessed weakling in the presence of a power the State cannot control. Whenever the State allows a force to grow up within its borders greater than its power to control, whether railroads, corporations, monopolies or mobs, that moment our civilization will be gone and our government destroyed. If the State does not assert its authority in this criminal proceedings, as it is now doing with the other, we will soon enter upon absolute misrule, chaos and blood. "Every sane man knows our courts "Every sane man knows our courts are amply able to handle all the crim- inals that are brutally murdered by mobs. No court in Georgia will allow a white man or a Negro to escape death who is convicted of criminal assault. This being true, there is no demand and no place in our civilization for murderous mobs. This has been fully demonstrated by the action taken by the courts within the limit of the fourteen months to which I have already alluded. "Just about one year ago Will Price, a Negro, was convicted of criminal assault in the county of Randolph. There was excitement, of course, but the better element got in control. Price was legally tried, convicted and legally executed by the sheriff. This Negro is as completely dead as if he had been drawn and quartered and then his miserable body burned to ashes by a mob of a thousand murderous men. "In the county of Henry Buck High was charged with criminal assault. There was great excitement, but the better element took control and High was imprisoned, legally tried, convicted and duly executed by law. No man's hands were dripping with the blood of this outlaw, and yet he is as dead as if his body had been riddled with bullets from a thousand guns. Henry county did not need any murderous mob to enforce the law. "In the new county of Turner, Henderson, a Negro, brutally murdered G. W. May, a greatly respected farmer. There was great excitement, but the better element took control, the Negro was captured, confined in the county jail, duly tried, convicted and legally executed. This murder was as fully avenged as it could possibly be by the death of the criminal. Why gratify the hellish passion of the mob that would torture by the slow burning of a human being? "In the county of Fulton 'Black Sport' brutally murdered an officer of the law. He was known to be a most dangerous Negro, but Sheriff Nelms did not need a raging mob to deal with his prisoner. The Negro was jailed, ably defended, as was his right, sentenced and legally executed "In the county of Douglas a Negro was convicted for an assault to rape. He was found to be of very low order of mind and he was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary, to the complete satisfaction of all concerned, as were doubts as to his real intentions. A mob would have butchered this Negro without inquiry or investigation. "In the county of Troup a Negro named Heard was charged with the murder of Hal Brewster, the son of our distinguished citizen, Hon. P. H. Brewster; The Negro was tried, convicted and duly sentenced by the court. "In this same county Ingram Cannidy was indicted for criminal assault. There was, of course, great excitement, but the better element took control, as is possible in every community in Georgia, and Cannidy was executed by the sheriff under the law. "In Carroll county Wes Summerlin and his son Charles, were charged with assassinating Hon. Jethro Jones, a prominent planter of that section. A special term of the court was called, the Negroes were regularly tried, convicted and executed. Why should the great State of Georgia tolerate and wink at the brutality of molts, when the courts are amply able to handle all criminals, however degenerate and debased? "In Gwinnett county Matthew Howell, a Negro, murdered a Mr. Rainey, an officer of the law. Rainey was so popular that the people have contributed money for the purpose of creating a monument over his grave. There was excitement, of course, because of the killing of so respected an officer by a Negro. The court appointed three lawyers for his defense; he was fairly tried, convicted and duly executed. This was a case that appealed strongly to the passions of the people, but he it said, greatly to the erdeit of the community, as should be said of the others named, they had respect for the majesty of law and the Negro was executed by law and not by a mob. "It is unusual to record that from the county of Coffee a white man is serving life sentence for killing a Negro. "In McIntosh county Lee Holmes killed Dr. Sands. Dr. Sands was a citizen of Tatnall county and his friends were greatly outraged over the killing. They gathered in number for the purpose of lynching the Negro. Better conditions prevailed and Holmes was regularly, tried, sentenced and executed without the help of a mob. "In Sumter county Jonas Hix was convicted of the murder of I. J. Davis. He was legally executed. "In Schley county Ben Smith, a Negro, was convicted of the murder of Thomas Dixon, a white man, with recommendation to mercy. Jonas Hix and Ben Smith were confined in the common jail of the respective counties in which their crimes were committed. They were not run before a mob. "This record, without giving more shows the power of the courts to deal effectually with all criminal cases, and that there is no place for murderous mobs in our civilization. However this may be, mobs and riots will occur until there is some rebuke or enactment to prevent their brutal practices. "It is a matter of interest to inquire why the prison commission should be so severely rebuke for four murders on the inside, as occurred in eleven years, while the authorities, whoever they may be, on the outside, have allowed, unchallenged, twelve brutal murders in fourteen months. Why not investigate these murders and abolish mobs?" Lewis H. Douglas Dead. WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 22—Lewis H. Douglas, son of the late Frederick Douglas, died in Washington Saturday of paralysis. He was the first Negro compositor to enter the employ of the Government Printing Office, and he subsequently became editor of the New National Era, a newspaper devoted to the colored face. He was a veteran of the Civil War. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION THE BAR Mr. Jordan C. Jackson, of Lexington Ky., sends us the following picture showing Dr. Booker T. Washington addressing a crowd, estimated by the Lexington newspapers at 20,000, at the Lexington, Kentucky, Colored State Fair, Saturday, September 12, 1908. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 20.—The demotion of Samuel Keys, a colored teacher of iron forging in the Armstrong School, has precipitated a lively tilt between members at the first fall meeting of the Board of Education. After the majority of the board had voted to approve the superintendent's recommendation and demote Keys, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and other colored board members, who had been his champions, came back with a proposi- DR. Mr. Jordan C. Jackson, of Lexington Ky., estimated by the Lexington newspapers. tion to investigate the Keys affair. W. W. Cox immediately wanted to know if this meant that the School Board was to be "dragged out" night after night for another long investigation, as upon several occasions, last year. The answer was in the negative, it being explained that the investigation of Keys' side of the affair might be made by a committee. President Oyster said he saw no reason for approving the superintendent's recommendations and then investigate a matter already disposed of. The three colored members of the board and Mrs. Mussey voted to investigate "The vote being a tie, President Oyster uttered an emphatic "No." and there will be no Keys investigation. Mrs. Terrell then demanded that the principal of the Armstrong School, Dr. Bruce Evans, who was charged with being responsible for Keys' demotion, be investigated. Again, after vigorous protests and considerable heated argument, the motion was put. This time but three members, Horner, Cook and Mrs. Terrell, all colored, voted for the motion, and the investigation of the school will not be. "In all my experience I never have seen the minority treated so disrespectfully," said Mrs. Terrell. "Something must be done at this Armstrong School: There is more persecution and dissention there than anywhere in the system. The demotion of Keys is nothing but persecution." Mr. Horner said virtually the same thing, and advocated an investigation and cleaning out of the factions at the Armstrong. Captain Oyster said they were receiving excellent results there, and he saw no use for continued investigations. Mr. Horner asked that it be specially noted that all colored members voted for an investigation. Keys' reduction carries a salary reduction of about $150 per year. NARROW VIEW OF COLLEGE PRESIDENT. To Refuse Negroes Admission to School Because of Acts of Depraved Class. Des Moines, Sept. 21.—The report that the color line has been drawn at Highland Park College has been confirmed. President O. H. Langwell, who dismissed every Negro student several days ago, admits that the institution will receive no more Negro students. The flimsy excuse for refusing Negro applicants admission is that there is considerable race prejudice in this city just now on account of the recent alleged attacks of Negroes on white women. NEGRO BANK FOR CHICAGO Located on the South Side—Other News From the "Windy City." CHICAGO, Sept. 22. The latest and most important addition to business enterprises by the Negroes of this city is the establishment of a brand new bank on the corner of 36th and State streets. The head of this new enterprise is Mr. Jesse Binga, who is head of the Jesse Binga Real Estate Company. Mr. Binga has been conducting his real estate business in a manner that proves how possible it is for a Negro to achieve success if he is the right kind of a man. He has established a reputation for business integrity and shrewdness. As a result of it all he has the care and renting of property worth several hundred thousand dollars. His success as a real estate dealer easily suggested to him the feasibility of establishing a bank in connection with his other business. The bank building is a model in its equipment and thoroughly up-to-date in appearance. Deposit vaults and other requirements for handling money and its safe keeping are everywhere in evidence. His clerks are all bonded and are well trained in their business. Mr. Binga is a member of the Bankers' Association, which in itself indicates that the bank has a standing and a THE FIRST AIRCRAFT TO FLY AWAY FROM THE EARTH DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AT LEXINGTON Loring which gives assurance of reliability. Mr. Banga is not satisfied with his success already achieved. He told your correspondent that his ambition is to be in the head of a national bank and that it nothing now unforeseen prevents, he will within five years realize his ambitions. Mrs. Ione Gibbs, of Minneapolis, Mimn, who was recently elected as head of the Executive Committee of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, at the Brooklyn Convention, has been spending a few days in Chicago as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. S. Laing Williams, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Wood, of Atlantic City, N. J. Mrs. Gibbs is one of the most enterprising and efficient women of the Northwest and by training and wide experience has become recognized as a leader of women's organizations of various kinds. It is believed that she will fully justify her selection for this high and important office and will engender new life to the national association. The complaint of Negro girls that they are barred from many occupations on account of their color is not always justified by the facts in the case. The fact of the matter is that too many of these girls are not really qualified for the positions they aspire to. For example, the girl who takes a business course in stenography and typewriting and graduates, seems to think that is all there is of it, and that she needs to do nothing more until she has secured a position. Such a girl in nine-cases out of ten finds that she cannot meet the requirements of the positions offered her because she has not kept herself in practice. The girl who expects to secure and hold a responsible position as a stenographer must be ready at any time when called. The employer cannot always wait until the applicant has caught up with her speed and accuracy. I have in mind several young colored women who hold very responsible positions as stenographers in this city paying from $40 to $75 per month because they held themselves in readiness by constant practice to meet the requirements when the opportunities came to them. It is not enough to simply learn the art of stenography but continuous practice for efficiency is quite as important as the theory. It is true in Chicago that nearly every Negro girl who has made herself proficient by constant study has secured responsible positions. What is true of stenography is quite as true in other occupations. The young colored woman who wins the prize of life is the young woman who brings to her task Continued on Page 8 THE SUFFRAGAN 1DEA Measure of Relief Provided at Last General Conference Considered inadequate. The convention of Episcopal Church Workers, held at St. Augustine's P. E. Church, Brooklyn, last week, closed on Friday evening with an earnest and inspiring missionary meeting, after which the following report of the committee on the address to the church was read: In this, the 24th conference of workers among the colored people, we feel that we must render our Heavenly Father all praise and thanks for His GTON S. Booker T. Washington addressing a crowd, fored State Fair, Saturday, September 12, 1988. loving care and guidance in the work which has been committed to us. Reports from every part of the field impress us with the fact that despite obstacles that frequently test to the utmost our faith and strength, yet there has been continued progress along all lines. We thank God for His goodness and His guidance, and pray the continence of His loving favor. We rejoice that there are signs of increasing interest in the extension of the church among our people, and despite present adverse conditions, there has been substantial, and in some places, notable progress. In the shifting of populations in our country, and the drifting into the Northern and Western cities of large masses of our people, the work of the church is becoming national rather than sectional. And we suggest to the church of a larger missionary-policy that which has formerly obtained. And that the scope of work among the colored people conform to the exigencies of population, rather than to lines of latitude and longitude. We note with deep regret the recent recrussecence of the spirit of lawlessness in the nation. We appeal to our people everywhere to set their faces like flint against all lawlessness, to observe the laws of the State, and to make every effort to develop the moral virtues and the civic spirit, and to evidence in every way possible their love of public order and their principles of lofty citizenship. We appeal, also, to the more numerous race to co-operate with the best classes in efforts to restrain the disorderly classes of both races, and to moderate their lawless passions. We are grateful that there are signs in several sections of our country that the better classes of both races are coming to a more sympathetic recognition of the virtues of each other, and of the necessity of public and civic co-operation between the races; thus evidencing in a practical way the obvious principles of the interdependence of the races in our common country. We feel no little concern for the education of our people, and we are grateful that the Church has begun to recognize in some degree at least the needs of the Church and the race, by the establishment of the Church Institute for Negroes. We approve the federation of the schools of the church, and we express the hope that the institutions thus correlated may be developed and strengthened so that education in our beloved church may equal in extent, facility and standard that of any religions body in our country. We express our unqualified and enthusiastic approval of industrial education, but we hope the day is not far dis- tant when we may have a college for the higher education, of approved grade and standard, and that the theological seminaries founded for the race may offer as advanced training as that of any seminary in the land. We regard with no little apprehension the disposition of the authorities of the church to ignore colored men in the appointment or their faculties in these last-mentioned institutions, and to place them under the exclusive headship and instruction of men who, in some instances, are known to be hostile to our higher aspirations, and too prone to impress colored students with a sense of inferiority. We think, too, that the Church Institute and Board of Missions would do well to consider the advisability of appointing some representative of the race in their respective membership. We would record our sincere and unalterable conviction that the idea of Suffragan Bishop provided by the last General Convention will prove, an inadequate and ineffectual remedy for the ills which afflict us. We pass no opinion as to the advisability of that order for other races, or people, but we submit that we are fully persuaded that the Suffragan Episcopate will aggravate, rather than cure or mitigate, the evils under which at the present time we, of the colored race, in the church, labor. We are fully persuaded that the present methods are, to us; far more satisfactory than any such expedient. We clearly forsee the brood of evils that are sure to be generated by such a system, and we pray deliverance from them. We appeal to the church to spare us that humiliation, and either give us missionary jurisdictions, or perpetuate the present unsatisfactory condition. We do not seek the Episcopate for its own sake; we have no ambition for titles and degrees, we simply seek an effective instrumentality for extending the church and helping our people. But we are persuaded that the proposed restriction of the suffraganate will defeat the very end sought by the church. Thanking God for all that He has done for us in the years that are gone, and that He has been our light and helper in all the problems and vicissitudes through which we have passed, we are sure that He will be our guide unto death, and we separate from each other to depart for our respective fields, resolved to consecrate ourselves anew to the extension of His Glorious Kingdom. This address was signed by the following committee: Revs. B.W. W. Paxton, J. W. Johnson, E. N. Hollings, E. H. Oxley, Jno. R. Logan, C. H. Bishop, G. A. McGuire, S. Wood, R. Bright, J. Sherwood, K. S. Habb, E. L. Henderson, W. G. Avant, H. O. Bold, P. A. McDougall, Mr. Jno. S. Brown and Rev Wm. V Tunnell, chairman. All the sessions of the conference were marked by a lively interest on the part of the large and intelligent audiences, who listened to the many able papers presented on live and practical topics, resulting in earnest discussion of the themes involved. The question of racial bishops was brought to the forefront of discussion at the opening service in the address of welcome, delivered by the Rt. Rev. Frederick Burgess, Bishop of Long Island. He cautioned his hearers against the insistence upon a Negro Bishop at this time, as imperilling the unity of the church. Rev. E Robert Bennett, of Willmington, N. C., vice-president of the conference, who responded to the bishop's address, feelingly set forth the reasons for urging the peculiar needs of the race, while affirming the loyalty of the colored clergy to the church and its doctrines. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. Robert W. Bagnall, of Cleveland, in which he dwelt earnestly and eloquently on the office and attributes of the Christian ministry. In the report of the necrologist, which was read by Ven. E. L. Henderson, of Atlanta, Ga. the congregation all standing, appropriate memorials were paid to Julius L. Cox, deacon, and Rev. J. H. M. Pollard, arch-deacon, whose deaths occurred since the last meeting of the conference. The discussion which perhaps created the greatest stir during the conference was on "Work and Purpose of the American Church Institute for Negroes." The address was made by the Rev. Samuel H. Bishop, M. A., general agent of the American Church Institute for Negroes. The discussion was opened by the Rev. George W. Bragg, of Baltimore, and was participated in by the Rev. William V. Tunnell, Washington, D. C., the former rector of St. Augustine's P. E. Church, Brooklyn, and who was at the head of King Hall; Rev. Mr. Bright, Dr. E. Robert Bennett and the Rev N. P. Boyd, Dr. Bennett suggested that questions be asked Mr. Bishop instead of speeches on the question, and pointed questions were asked by the Rev. August E. Jensen and Dr. Bennett. Mr. Bishop said: "This is a great opportunity for us to get together. It is the first chance I have had to meet my own church people in this peculiar way. I have been much interested in your intelligent discussion of subjects. I have found in my study of this work that the colored people, representing 10,500,000 in this country, are a proving ground for problems of class adjustment." It is a problem of race adjustment. The church has had the problems of the application of Christian religion and the colored folk have been the proving ground. I concluded that the history of your race was one that any people might well envy." Rev. James Henry King, of Edenton, N. C., presented an interesting paper on "Church Bollity Applied to Present Day Conditions." A seaching arrangement of what was pronounced "Jim Crowism" in the church was presented in a paper read by the Rev. George A. McGuire, of Cambridge, Mass. on "The Separate Concation: Its Strength, Its Weakness." PRICE, 5 CENTS ODD FELLOWS FOR TAFT Poll Taken by Staff Correspondent at the Big Convention Many Assert in Interviews That Republican Nominee Will Get The Negroes' Support William L. Houston and Edward P. Jones Seyt Tall Will Win—West Virginia Delegation Bitter Against Democracy ATLANTIC CITY, September 21. While it is true that some months ago opposition was shown toward Judge William H. Tafi's candidacy for the Presidency by some of the "zero presidents throughout the country it is firmly true that all such opposition is now a thing of the past. At the big convention of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America, which has just adjourned in this city after a week's session, your representative made a poll of delegates to ascertain how they stood on the Presidential question. It can be stated without fear of contradiction that regardless of from what section of the country the delegate hailed he was enthusiastically in favor of Judge William H. Taft for President. Interviews were secured from many delegates regardless of their standing in the order. The highest officials in the Odd Fellows were asked to express their views on the national election as were also those who held either minor officers or none at all, it being the desire of the writer to secure the consensus of opinion on the subject. With but one or two exceptions these delegates represented every State in the Union, and an opportunity was afforded to learn the political sentiment of the Negro voters North, East, South and West. It would have been a very sad day for the "would-be Negro Democrats" to have come to Atlantic City during the session of the G. U. O. of Q. F., and sought to engage the attention of the delegates with talks on "Bryanism." Nothing but praise could be heard on all sides for the Republican nominee after his address before a large Negro audience at Allen Temple, Cincinnati, last week. Those who had doubted his attitude on the Negro question unhesitatingly declared that they no longer doubted his stand on matters affecting the Negro. Perhaps those strongest in their denunciation of the Democratic party and its Presidential candidate were the delegates from West Virginia who represented every part of that State. The insertion of planks in the West Virginia platform recommending "Jim Crow" cars and Negro disfranchisement has aroused them to a high pitch of resentment. Grand Master William L. Houston believes that Judge Taft will be elected beyond any doubt. In an interview he said: "William H. Taft will be our next President. By what majority I would not attempt to make a guess. Yet I don't think it will be as large as President's Roosevelt's. The majority of Negro voters are for the Republican nominee, and as I travel throughout the country considerably I think I am in a position to size up conditions." One of the most enthusiastic Taft men in the Odd Fellows is Dr. Edward P. Jones, who is very influential in the Order and who is slated to succeed Grand Master Houston at the next election. "I claim to be one of the original Taft men," stated Dr. Jones to The Ace representative. "In the fall of 1907, when I returned from England where I had represented the G. U. O. of O. F., as Fraternal Delegate, I gave out an interview declaring that William H. Taft would be our next President of the United States and that all the Negro voters should work to secure his election. "Now you ask me why I think Judge Taft should be supported by the Negroes of this country. There are many reasons why he should get their cooperation, but to make myself understood in a few words I will use the expression of our great Frederick Douglass. "The Republican party is the ship, all else is the sea." all else is the Sea. Rev. F. B. Topp. of Jackson, Miss. editor of the Baptist Reporter. Educational Secretary of the Baptist State Convention and a prominent Odd Fellow-oid: "The Negro voters of the South are planning to spring a big surprise on those of the North this election. We intend to poll in many States more votes for Judge Taft than the Northern voters. Now don't let any of those Negro Democrats make you believe that we are for Bryan in the South, for we are not, and our votes in November will show that we are for Taft. Don't be surprised to see more Republican Congressmen from the South." men from West Virginia to me or any delegate from West Virginia about voting the Democratic ticket." was the remark made by Charles W.

Bishop Brown said he believed in the colored folk having the communion of saints, and declared that Jim Crowism is enfeebling the church in the South. The laity was ably represented in the papers read by Mr. Wm. S. McKimney, of Brooklyn, and Mr. John S. Brown, of Cambridge, Mass., in which practical questions of church work were handled with clarity of thought and precision of statement. Unique among the topics introduced was the paper read by Rev. George Frater Miller, of Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, his subject being, "Socialism Viewed in the Light of the Gospel Spectrum." The formulas of state socialism were elaborately presented in the light of the theories of Marx and Bellumy and Spargio, backed up with such Scriptural passages as the writer conceived to fortify and reinforce his ideas of Christian socialism. The case was ably presented by the writer, who is one of the signers of the manifesto issued to the clergy and churches of America by the Ministers' Socialist Conference, and he successfully rebuted objections raised in the questions propounded him. A plea, and significant feature of the conference was the unanimous reelection of the Rev. Henry L. Phillips, of Philadelphia, as president on the day before his arrival from Europe, where he and Mrs. Phillips had been on a six weeks' tour, accompanied by Rev. O. L. Mitchell of Washington. Invitations for the next conference were given by the Rev. J. E. King, of St. Andrew's Church, Raleigh, N. C. and Arch-deacon Russell, of Lawrenceville, Va. The conference voted, to go to Lawrenceville next year. Resolutions adopted included thanks to the bishops and clerical and lay deputies who supported the work in the last general 'convention reaffirmed the conference's portion respecting missionary districts and Negro bishops, and urged members of the next general convention to work for the adoption of the 'Whillingham canon.' The resolutions provided for a committee consisting of the Rev. Dr. H. L. Phillips, the Rev. H. C. Bishop and the Rev. W. W. Paxton, to urge before the board of missions, or before a committee of that board, the importance of employing a colored priest as field secretary.

Murray, and his committee are to be commended for their successful effort to maintain the reputation of the Guild for always insuring its patrons an evening of uninterrupted enjoyment. The fifteen hundred assembled friends departed with the last strains of "Home, Sweet Home" at an early hour, expressing their appreciation of the continuous musical program, the result of the Guild's practice of always having two orchestras present at their picnics.

Smith, the widely-known Hebrew piano soloist, assisted by local talent, rendered a sacred concert before a packed audience in the lecture room last Sunday. The entire program was undoubtedly one of the best ever rendered at the Y. M. C. A. Mrs. Peterson, of Kingston, fairly captured the audience by her splendid singing. Mr. J. A. Whaley, of Boston, was introduced and made a brief address, in which he declared that the Negro and the Jew had many things in common. Both races, he said, had suffered untold afflictions, and while their lot was better now than it had been for a long period of centuries their sufferings were not yet over. Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris, the former pastor, of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, who, together with Mrs. Morris, had come into the meeting at an earlier period, was then introduced. While waiting for a slight change in the program Rev. Mr. Gow, of South Africa, rose and spoke. Next Sunday afternoon it is expected that Rev. Dr. R. C. Ransom, pastor of Bethel Church, will address the meeting. The workmen have at last completed the renovating of the office and lecture room and they are now a delight to the eye.

New York Surprised. New York is somewhat excited over new chemical discoveries. The Chemical Wonder Company has certainly made good so far. They have one preparation to give a lighter natural color to dark skin; another preparation to make their clients physically acceptable in social and business circles and another preparation to uncurt kinky hair so it will dress to advantage. The interest in these discoveries is spreading into other parts of the United States. Terriews News Mrs. William A. Hatcher, delegate representing Orchad Household of Ruth, No. 1349 Mr. D. G.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1908 MORE TROUBLE AT OLIVET CHURCH Five Trustees Have Injunction Served on Punter With Aid of Axe and Poemman. The troubles at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, 139 west and street, Rev. W. M. Gilbert, pastor, have broken out afresh. Monday night five of the former trustees—messrs. James Wells, X' W. Jackson, W. H. Holloway, E. D. Morgan and G. G. Stevens—descended upon the church with an axe and an injunction upon the pastor, issued by Justice Gerard. The injunction to prevent the pastor on raising $3,500 by a mortgage on the church property, as the expelled trustees say he contemplates doing. When these trustees, who represent the minority and disgruntled faction, were not admitted on knocking at the church door, they broke it down and served the injunction. The injunction was served by Attorney James Herad in the presence of the five trustees, two policemen and the greatly excited members at the meeting. A year ago these trustees and the dissatisfied faction at Mt. Olivet asked for Rev. Gilbert's resignation. He at y d n s - n d t g s e o s t h a l y . once submitted his resignation, but it was not accepted by a large majority of the church. Thereupon the church expelled these trustees and trouble followed. The pastor and trustees had three of the disturbers arrested. They in turn caused the pastor's arrest for alleged fake arrest and he is on bail pending the settlement of the charges against him. years previous burial compartment condem'd of his own a trary to the sacristy of the sacristy with his wife desks and a taking supply forth, free a MINISTER DEFENDS NEGRO WOMAN Then the Whites Forget Religion and Bar Him, From Nestings. MACON, Mo. September 22.—Evangelist L. J. King, who was asked to apologize publicly because he made some pointed remarks, about the treatment accorded a Negro woman of the Holiness Church, continues to hold up his end of the argument and contends that he is in the right. He refused to make a public apology as directed and was not permitted to take part in the camp meeting. The trouble grew out of the attendance of Mrs. Emma Britt, a Negro woman, from Omaha, who had long been a friend of Rev. King, and when the white sisters showed a disposition to object to her sitting down at table with them, Rev. King said some things in his address Saturday night. When interviewed Rev. King said, "I had known Mrs. Britt a long time, and knew her to be a good woman. Up in Canada, where I came from, the Negro people sit at table with the white. I said at the meeting that Mrs. Britt had more real religion than the whole bunch of us put together. They wanted me to apologize, and I told them they ought to have shouted 'Amen' over what I said." THE NEW YORK AGE desires to retract the notice published in the form of an advertisement on page 7, column 3, of its September 10 and September 17, 1908, issues, which notice stated that Ill. J. B. Thornton, 3rd degree of New York City, had been expelled for unMasonic conduct. THE AGE has been advised that the matter contained in such notice was entirely false and untrue, and wishes publicly, in compliance with the laws of the State of New York, to retract all of the statements made in said issu The T: C. D. C. Literary Society of Bethel A. M. E. Church held its regular quarterly election of officers, viz: Mr. Frederick Williams, president; Mr. Anthony Dickerson, vice-president; Miss Estella Foster, secretary; Miss Emma Williams, assistant secretary; Miss Luna Williams, treasurer; Mr. John A. Molbom, editor, and Mr. Jupiter, assistant editor. A reception was given Saturday evening. September 19, by Miss Alice Adcock; in honor of her friend, Miss May Hill, of Washington, D. C. The evening was spent pleasantly. St. Mark's Lyceum Opening Sunday, September 13, was the occasion of the opening of St. Mark's Lyceum for the fall and winter. At no time since the history of the lyceum began has there been such a grand opening, every number on the program being artistic and inspiring. Mr. Leon Adger deserves unstinted praise for the work done by him alone and single handed in training the Choral Union. The chorus led by Miss Margaret Dudley in the solo part was especially well received. Mr. Dabney always pleases with his deep hass tones made with such ease. Miss Thomas and Mr. Watson in baritone contralto solos were pleasing efforts. The addresses delivered were by the following able and well-known persons: Mr. Robert W. Taylor, of Wall street, spoke earnestly on a few practical facts to young men, admonishing them to have an "aim in life, be-reliable—do something creditable to themselves and race." Mrs. A. W. Hunton spoke with force and earnestness on "The work which will make for the success of the race." Mrs. Frances Reynolds Keyser, in her cultured yet forceful way, spoke as only A. Correction: Madison Noter: she can speak on "Some types of Negro girlhood with whom I have came in contact." She treated her subject from the points the "society girl," the "home girl," the "student girl," and the "working girl." So graphic was her pictures of each girl that one almost forgot they were not watching them as they went through their respective duties. Sunday the program in charge of Miss Goldwin was interesting. Thursday night, September 24, Mr. H. H. Harrison will hold a meeting in the interest of the White Rose Home. C. Franklin Carr Quits the C. Franklin C. Franklin Burial Company During the month of May, 1907, a few individuals met in a meeting called for the purpose of forming and organizing a burial company and to incorporate the same under the laws of the State of New York. The meeting was harmonious and those present entered into the task of perfecting the company with cagerness and avidity. Mr. C. Franklin Carr, a licensed and experienced undertaker, who for several 1 years previous to the formation of this burial company, had the acumen to conduct a large and successful business of his own at 350 West 53d street, contrary to the wishes of his many friends, sacrificed his entire business, together with his wagon, two, handsome oak desks and a large quantity of undertaking supplies, paraphernalia and so forth, free and clear, for the benefit of this corporation and took one hundred shares of it's capital stock in payment therefore. On June 1, 1907, the promoters of the enterprise (eleven in all) got to gether and had the same incorporated. Mr. Carr being the moving spirit of the movement and having an established trade, and in order that the same may be conveyed to the said corporation, took his name, to wit, "C. Franklin Carr Burial Company," capitalized for $10,000, and began to do business. The incorporators then held a meeting and were all elected directors. After the officers were elected Mr. Carr, the prime mover, was appointed manager, subject to a dismissal at any time with or without cause. Of the capital stock, which consisted of four hundred shares, only one hundred shares were subscribed for, and after the place of business was fitted up the amount of money invested had dwindled to a very small amount. Very much to the dissatisfaction of Mr. Carr he labored under this amount for a year or more, and finding that the funds of the company were too low to warrant a successful continuance of business, and the spirit of its members very abated, and a clause in the minutes preventing him from purchasing more stock, and a number of restrictions, Mr. Carr tendered his resignation as manager on June 4, 1908. He asserted that his resignation was due to the fact that the strength of the company was very much divided, as the company was "limited we stand, divided we fall," he on August 5, tendered his resignation as a director or any part thereof, and therein offered to the company his entire $2,500 worth of stock for $350 without any good results. When Mr. Carr observed that among the members there was a great lack of confidence and a great deal of dissatisfaction because the amount of business did not come up to their expectations, he theremin made them an offer for the stock they held, agreeing to allow them back the amount of money they had invested up to that time. To correct a statement that was made, Mr. Carr did not receive any money from the company for his business, neither did he take any money, but instead put money in from time to time to help carry on the good work, and when he resigned, put his hat and coat on and walked out, leaving everything behind. It has been rumored that Mr. Carr could not engage in the undertaking business again in any part of the United States except the State of Nevada, and steps were taken to restrain him from doing so, but nevertheless the attention of the public is called to 120 West 134th street, where he has opened a place of business on his own responsibility and is in the position to serve his many friends as heretofore, but from the above address only. After repeated demands for over a year, up to this time Mr. Carr, has not received his stock' consideration, and has placed his case in the hands of Louis A. Levealle, his attorney. Mike Ding, Watson Entertained. Miss Daisy Watson Entertained.

At last "Complexion Wonder" has been discovered. Every time it is applied, it brings a lighter natural color to any dark skin. It improves a colored countenance like magic, 50 cents. Another preparation indispensable for colored people (white people also) is "Odor Wonder." This toilet preparation prevents perspiration odor and envelopes personality with emaculate daintiness. "Odor Wonder" will make anyone physically accept. able in society or business circles. Our men customers secure better positions in banks, clubs, business houses. Our women customers advance faster in life, $1.00. The Chemical Wonder Co. has another discovery which delights colored people. It is "Wonder Uncurl." It uncurls the kinks of the hair and makes it pliable so as to put up better. This "Wonder Uncurl" and a splendid hair tonic and a magnetic metal comb are included in one box for $1.00. We will send all our three specialities for $2.00 and guarantee they will do more to advance colored people socially and commercially than showy garments or gewaw jewelry. Booklet free.

"As a nation our duty compels that by our institutional and reasonable means the material and educational condition of the colored race be addressed well as to them.

The Republicans must protect their courage to the thrift, industry and intelligence that will better their prospect of high material." - Judge Taft in a recent statement. GOVERNOR HUGHES The nomination for re-election of Governor Charles E. Hughes pleases the Negro citizens of this State and country. The Negro, most of all, North as well as South, suffers from machine rule, corruption and gambling. With an especial carniness, therefore, does he long for the reign of law and decency. No governor, no government can be "too clean" for the black man. That is the issue between the tried Hughes and the untried Chanler. If, as some think, the Democratic candidate favors the Republican Governor's policies, then the Negro will solidly support that faithful steward whom we know. But if Chanler favors the murky machine which made him—Mack, Murphy and McCarren—then the Negro must both work and pray against the backward step of his election. Corrupt government even with our quota of "fat" offices benefits only a few. It hurts the many. Good government benefits the many with its equal chance for all. For a time it may hurt the filthy few. We want good government. We want clean government. We want Hughes. BY AN EYE WITNESS: "The so-called race riot at Springfield by an eye witness" is the subject of a fair and frank article on the Illinois outrage in Charities for September 19. Charging the police with criminal negligence, praising Governor Deneen, the writer gives the real cause of the mad outbreak as political corruption, beginning twenty years ago. The rioters, white thieves and anarchists and Negro toughs have thus been fostered and protected. In a total colored population of 4,500, the writer says the worthless and genuinely bad outnumber the thrifty and law-abiding, who are respectable and respected. This statement is not only false but malicious. The killing of the Negro Donegan is described as cold-blooded murder, perpetrated by a handful of young desperadoes. The writer continues: "Here is what followed the arrest of the wrong man: "Two Negroes killed by mob. "Five white men killed by rioters. Five white men killed by firestorms. "One woman ended her life, following her indictment for murder. "One Negro child died of exposure when parents were fleeing from the city. "One hundred persons were more or less seriously injured; many of them maimed for life. "Property estimated at $120,000 destroyed. "Forty Negro families rendered homeless through the burning of their residences. "Fifteen business houses wrecked. "Two thousand black men, women and children driven from the city. "Four thousand militiamen brought to the city to re-establish order; cost to State $200,000. "Business paralyzed for period of ten days. "Suits and claims aggregating $120,000 filed against the city for damages resulting from deaths, person injuries and destruction of property." MR. HERSHAW WAKE UP. J. M. Hershaw, of Georgia, editor of The Horizon, a monthly "magazette", published in this city, makes a significant comment in the August number of his journal upon the recent deliverance of Dr. Booker T. Washington on the lynching evil, sent out by the New York World. Mr. Hershaw is the local secretary of the Niagara Movement, and has long been looked upon as an irreconcilable opponent to the teachings, philosophies and methods of Dr. Washington. It is, therefore, noteworthy to find a common ground upon which these usually divergent thinkers are able to meet. Says Mr. Hershaw: "On the 18th of August, Mr. Booker T. Washington sent to the New York World from Baltimore a communication consisting of six or seven hundred words, dealing with the lynching question, doubtlessly suggested by the Springfield affair, though he does not specifically say so. His views as here expressed are the clearest, strongest, and most courageous he has uttered since his Chicago speech at the celebration of the close of the Spanish-American War. The whole statement is unexceptionable." After a decade of critical examination Mr. Hershaw has finally awakened to what everybody else has long since found out—that Dr. Booker T. Washington is a statesman of the most far-reaching, courageous and constructive type. However, revelation and conversion, even at the eleventh hour, is better than dying in one's sins. There is hope for Mr. Uershaw. --- CHAIRMAN FRANK H. HITCHCOCK We note that a good many individuals and several Negro newspapers are inclined to criticise Mr. Frank H. Hitchcock, the Republican National Chairman, for his seeming want of attention to members of the race. We want to say frankly and strongly that we believe Mr. Hitchcock is doing all that any one human being can do to satisfy all the interests that cluster around Mr. Taft's candidacy and that he is treating the Negro race with all the consideration that he possibly can, and that he is making no distinction between black and white people, and that he has the good of the Republican Party at heart, and is bending all of his energies to the election of Mr. Taft. It would be utterly impossible for any human being to answer all the correspondence that pours in upon a National chairman, and it would be equally impossible for any human being to see personally all the numerous individuals who ask for his time during a hard and strenuous campaign. Our people must be charitable and sensible in this matter. Leaders of the race throughout the country, not one or two, but many of them, are being freely consulted and their opinion and advice is being freely followed. Mr. Hitchcock is not using a brass band to herald his plans throughout the country, but he is doing the real work, work that concerns the Negro race as well as all races in connection with this campaign. Mr. William L. Ward, the National Committeeman from New York State, who has general charge of the interests of the Negro in the campaign, as is well known. He is a firm and true friend of the race, is a man of wide business experience and is loyally standing by Mr. Hitchcock in doing everything he can to protect the interests of the race and at the same time to see that the race has a fair chance in presenting its best side during the campaign. Mr. Ward is in constant consultation with Negro leaders, and is not neglecting anything that will tend to arouse interest in the Negro voters of the country and thus secure good results. The fact that Mr. R. W. Thompson, a leading newspaper man of Washington, has been permanently and definitely assigned to the Literary Bureau of the campaign further indicates the interest of those in charge of Mr. Taft's interests in the Negro vote. SOCIALISM AT THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. The most spectacular feature of last week's convention in Brooklyn of the Protestant Episcopal Church workers was the discussion of Socialism. Led by its best-known Negro exponents they talked of the "existence of but one race—the human race—the socialization of the land, the common ownership of the means of production and distribution," and its many other learned features. When asked as to its present practical value for the Negro citizen the reply was: "It is the promise of the reign of the brotherhood of man." In short, then, Socialism is only the promised, altogether happy, future state. But the present state concerns the Negro much more nearly. To day the Negro has the tremendous odds of the power of wealth and education against him. To day he is solidly surrounded by the opposite race, indifferent for the most part and prejudiced in some measure. He is the man with his hand in the lion's mouth. He must, therefore, he a very practical present-minded man. There is no harm in the Negro playing academically at Socialism. But seriously and actively must he concern himself with the parties of actual power over him. BRYANITES TRYING TO FOOL KAN- NAM NEGROES, The Topeka Plaindealer issues a warning to the people of Kansas that there is one Prince Thomas going over the State-of Kansas organizing Afro-American clubs on the pretext that they are for the betterment of the colored people when the truth of the matter is that they are no more or less than auxiliaries to the Democratic Party. Word has been received that Thomas has been operating at Manhattan and Junction City, but as the Negroes of that section of the State are quite intelligent and read the papers for themselves, the trickster met with little encouragement. It is Prince's game to get before the churches on Sunday evenings and deliver a lecture, working in arguments calculated to excuse the duplicity and meanness of the Bryan-Tillman-Haskell Democracy. The Democrats are hard pushed for votes and this is a sample of the methods by which they are try- ing to make gains among the colored people. The Plaindealer, whose editor, Nick Chiles, is a staunch champion of Judge Taft, does well to sound this warning note. van leadership declares that "death was at the hands of parties unknown to us." How far is Mississippi from the land of the damned? Are the whites of Mississippi "morally superior" to the blacks? WHAT THE NEON PRESS HAS Mr. Bryan is silent o COLONEL WAITERSON A MERETIC. COLONEL WATTERSON A HEREBITC In the hot personal argument between Colonel Watterson, of Kentucky, and Deacon Hemphill, of South Carolina, over Negro Democrats, the South is solid with the latter. With the editor of The Charleston News and Courier, who, by the way, is general manager of the Bryan campaign in the 'South-Dixie, says, "Win or lose we do not want the Negro votes. Besides the Charleston journal, the leading party organs, such as the Birmingham Age-Herald, the Richmond News Leader, the Jackson Issue and the Raleigh News and Observer all declare in unison, 'no Negro for us.' The Greensboro Daily Industrial News on September 15 says in regard to Colonel Watterson's 'heretical' suggestions: "The South has no patience with the idea of treating the Negro as a voter, on the same basis with other voters." Sad to say nine-tenths of the Democratic party do not want the Negro vote. THE NEGRO DENOCRAT AN IMPOSSIBILITY. Rev. Hueston H. Wells, pastor of the Mt. Lebanon A. M. E. Zion Church, Elizabeth City, N. C., sizes up the "convictionless" Negro Democrat (?) about right when he asks the subjoined query and thus elaborates upon it in this vigorous fashion: "What about the Negro as a Democrat?" 'Why that seems to me all right if he has the convictions of that party. But, the more striking question is—can he be or have the convictions of a Democrat? I judge that it would be extremely hard for the Negro to muster courage enough to thrust his 'bargains' on a party that has never made him an offer for his goods and which continually contends that both he and his goods are worthless and undesirable altogether, whose leaders offer you to cross the thorny crown and bitter cup; whose followers rally to the 'Jim Crow' call and cast lots to deprive the Negro of citizen- THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION What is perhaps the largest delegated organization of Negroes in America has recently been in session at Lexington, Ky. We refer to the National Baptist Convention. This is an organization of which the race has reason to be proud. The guiding star and leading spirit is Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark, who has been unanimously elected president for over a dozen years. With this great organization in the hands of conservative and aggressive leaders like Dr. Morris it is destined to accomplish great it. It is encouraging to note that this organization is not rest by factional differences, but works harmoniously and effectively. It is said that there were over three thousand delegates present at Lexington's last work. "TAFT: OUR BEST FRIEND." Secretary Taft in his A. M. E. Conference speech at Cincinnati again hit the ball's eye of the black man's situation. The "strengthening of the criminal law" would be a twofold blessing to the Negro of the South. It would give him the greatly needed assurance of protection in his progress. Protect the Negro and he will do the rest. It would rid him of his body of death, the vicious offer. "Well might the venerable Bishop Derrick and his cohorts have been glad. Well sent was the message: 'Secretary Taft is our best friend.'" THE SOUTH SAYS "YES." The New York Sun says, "The record contradicts' Mr. Bryan when he denies that he ever tried to make government ownership of railroads an issue" Mr. Bryan, as all remember, dropped this issue when the South, aroused for the future of their Jim Crow car laws, through John Sharpe Williams, Senators Daniel and Bacon said, "No!" Mr. Bryan said this in Cooper Union, 1908: "The South has disfranchised the Negro in self-protection" Mr. Bryan has never denied this. Why? HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS In every community or city where there are three thousand or more Negroes a first-class hotel or restaurant can be supported if properly planned for and kept up. It ought not to be true that in a city like Washington that there is not a first class hotel where a colored man can always find accommodations for himself and family. What is true of Washington is lamentably true of other cities North and South. Cannot some of our wilde-wake business men supply this need? A PROPER RECEPTION. According to newspaper reports that was a great and proper reception given Secretary Taft by the A. M. E. Conference at Cincinnati, presided over by Bishop Derrick. Secretary Taft's speech before the Conference was all that could be desired. Such demonstrations show where the heart of the race is and also indicate how the race will vote. INVESTING INFORMANCE The coroner's jury at Oxford; Mina, which conducted the inquest at the Negro lynching of ex-U. S. Senator Sulli- van leadership declares that "death was at the hands of parties unknown to us." How far is Mississippi from the land of the damned? Are the whites of Mississippi "morally superior" to the blacks? Who will say? Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback was invited to the National Republican Headquarters a few days ago for a conference where his advice and suggestions for the campaign were eagerly sought after and will doubtless be followed. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. John W. Kern, whom the people of Indiana turned down twice for Governor, now wants to be made Vice-President of the United States. He does not want Negro votes; for he has not asked for the support of any black voter. Mr. Sherman, who has been commissioned and re-commissioned by the good people of the State of New York for service faithfully mendered, is a candidate for the same honor. He has indicated his desire for the support of race, and has earned us of his purpose of helping us to achieve the aims that lie nearest to our hearts. Can there be any doubt as to which of these candidates the Negro will give his vote? There is none and cannot he. "Marse" Henry Watterson is a very nice gentleman. He has said some kind words about the Negro, and his aspirations. For these he has the assurance of our most distinguished consideration. We have no doubt that he means all he says in offering an "open door" to the Negro. But unfortunately for both the Colonel and those Negroes who seem willing to accept his cordial invitation, "Marse Henry" has received no appointment as doorkeeper and his invitation has been marked "N. G." by the Democrats in charge at the big gate. The Baptist preacher at Washington who claimed awhile back that he headed an organization of 300,000 Negroes who would bolt the nomination of Mr. Taft has concluded to revise his list downward. He is now begging for 10,000 colored heroes who will give one dollar each toward an anti-Taft campaign. The postman, who delivers the mail at the Washington headquarters has not applied for a leave of absence on account of the fatigue experienced in lugging the checks from this mighty legion to the after said Baptist preacher. President Roosevelt puts the whole thing in a nutshell. Says he: "Taft is a thoroughly national man. There is no stronger appeal to him from the North than from the South, from the West than from the East. Creed and color make no difference to him. He seeks to do substantial justice to all. There is not a mean streak in the man's makeup. I sincerely believe that Taft makes on great a President, excepting of course our two greatest, Washington and Lincoln." It cannot be denied that the Negro has a stake in the protective tariff that makes the capitalist able to employ plenty of helpers. When the wealthy man's fortunes take a shump, it is the Negro employee who feels the differ-ential job he has to do. All general all he has between himself and the poor house is his job. It behooves us to stick to the party that protects the poor man by preserving the rich man's prosperity. In spite of what has seemed to be "general apathy" all of the meetings of Negro Republicans in the various States have been largely attended and the institutions has been at a white heat. On a curiosity to hear what Negro Democrats have to offer as a reason for the alleged faith that is within them has attracted a meager contingent to the meetings of the opposition. Indeed, little is still highward defence of the Negro and valiant denunciation of lynching and other contempt perpetrated against the black man on account of his color have taken all the run out of the ficks who have been prating about the Judge's alleged indifference toward our people. A vote for Bryan is a vote of confidence in the republic inible Gov Haskell and the infamous "Jim Crow" conti- tion of Oklahoma "Haskell" is Mr Bryan's choice of governor and the "Pearless Ole" has pro- nounced his constitution which forces Negros into disipated cars and separates the races even at the telephone a "mobile" state paper. A party cannot escape its record. The Democratic party, led by Tillman, Bryan, Keffin, Vardahl, Hoke Smith, and Jeff Davis cannot dismiss with a wave of the hand its blood history of slavery and its consequent evils and persecute the Negro to trust it with the control of the nation it sought to disrupt. The Republicans in the last Congress differed only as to the manner in which the Negro soldiers must be restored to the army. The Democrats insisted that they should come back in any manner and initiated that if they had the power the entire four regiments of Negro soldiers would be cut out of the military service of the government. The usually silent Mr. Bryan maintains a masterly silence on the Negro question. In happy contrast is the frank and outspoken stand for the constitutional rights of the race taken by Mr. Laft It was the Democratic party that denied the Negro soldiers, the ordinary comforts of life at Brownsville and laid the foundation for the charge that the black men "shot up" the town for revenge. Bryan is the high priest of the doctrine of complaint. Judge Taft is the living embodiment of constructive statesmanship. Choose ye, fellow Americans! Show us a Negro Democrat and we will show you as applicant for money or a candidate for an office. No Negro is a Democrat from principle. The Democratic party owes the Negro nothing. The only honest thing about it is that it promises us nothing. It will be Taft and Sherman! WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Mr. Bryan is silent on the Negro question because silence gives consent.—St. Louis Advance. The endorsement of the candidacy of Judge Taft by the great Lott Carey Baptist Association—put a decided crimp in the claim of the Waldron machine that the Baptist Church would throw the weight of its two million membership against the big man from Ohio.—Washington Bee. Of course we all do know how, when the State of West Virginia passed up the Negro race, conjuring a platform upon which William J. Bryan could stand with both feet excluding the Negro race from any privilege of many participating in government, that it made every Negro Democrat in America have the political hysteries.—Chicago Conservator. The Republican party subscribes to the doctrine of giving the Nexro a man's chance—but the Democratic party so far as its position applies to the Nexro—is a part yof "Ifs," "Whys," "Butts," and "Wherefores."

Advocate The Negro who is so blind to the interest of his people as to advise them to vote the Democratic ticket is not to be trusted. The Republican party has ever been the friend of the race and whatever political life and privileges it has enjoyed it owes them to the party of Lincoln. It will be the duty of every citizen in the United States to go to the polls, and assist in the election of Taft and Sherman-Little Rock Mosquito Guide. Although the Democrats are claiming that the chances of electing Bryan and Kern are better than ever, still they know that the die is cast and the moment Bryan was nominated at Denver that meant the defeat of their party in the coming struggle. The people registered their refusal to the previous occasions to elect Mr. Bryan and not to indulge, it does not seem that they had in any mannox changed their opinions in this direction. Newport News (V.A.) Star The men who have followed the history of political parties in this country for the last forty years believe that the majority of colored men will, if allowed to vote, cast their ballots for Taft and Sherman. The Republican party has done more and is now doing more for the Negro race than all the other parties put together. The sons of the black men who followed Grant will follow Taft. We are Republicans. As Mr. Sherman has aptly expressed it, we are a part of American civilization. Mr. Bryan says that we are only interested in cotton. We care something about human rights. Buxton (1a.) Gazette. While we do not commend the President for doing so yet we cannot afford to back him on the party of freedom on account of one act of injustice. Let us compare the other hundred acts beneficial to the race for which the Republican party is responsible, to this one act of injustice, and see if it is wise to vote against the party, especially for a party that has fought our freedom, our civil rights and is ever inimical to the best interest of the race. The Democratic party is the party of lynching, "Jim Crow" laws and race restrictions. Can a colored man with pride vote for it, Savannah Tribune. Just now the columns of every Democrat paper in the land stand open night and day to receive the deliverance of the misguided colored men who have declared for Bryan and Kern. This is politics. These colored Bryan donors should remember this. This is politics. Let the colored man have power and take his own. History is the old business won the travel road read the history of coming events.

Lafaye is the accepted leader of the Republicans of the nation and those who refuse to accept his leadership, he host upon the bank are fully within the line of Republicans. Every member of the Republican party has a right to his preference in the selection of candidates; but when since the choice of a candidate has been made, the requirements of party principles, expertise, deference, and it is expected that will be明显 observed. All candidates should represent their party's principles and give little if any, of their individualism. There are, in voting for a candidate one is voting for the principles of the party which the candidate represents; nothing more and nothing less.

Dr. Du Bois may endeavor to make it appear that the majority are with him, but the people will not consent; they know differently.—Cleveland Journal. From the day of its inception and organization the Democratic party collectively and individually has been a living, active protest against the Negro. Its policies along humanitarian lines have been destruction rather than construction. It would as readily deny and abrogate the guaranteed rights secured to us by Republican legislation, to-day, as they have been denied to the Negro and utterance of its leaders, tell this without a blush.

Booker Washington's statement that the Negro is probably getting along better today in Mississippi than in any other state, only those who are unacquainted with the kindly feeling toward the reputable Negro that exists in the South and which, in the case of many individuals, is not inconsistent with a belief in disfranchisement. If a Negro wants a little capital, to start in business for himself, says Washington, he can get it more easily in the South than in the North. Therein the famous leader of his race not only speaks with knowledge of the South, but he also suggests the most hopeful line of effort for the elevation of his people. Let them enter business life, let them feel the responsibility which the possession of property brings, and a greater improvement in character will ease than the exercise of the right of suffrage every day in the year would bring about. It is due to his existence upon the booker. Booker Washington work has been so successful and that the graduates of his institute have turned out so well. The meeting of the National Negro Business League, now in progress in Baltimore, serves to emphasize the same theory through the "experience" related by true "door of hope" for the Negro and practical men detailing their success in actions lines of business. This is the no reasonable white man would like to see it shut - Washington, D. C. Times. THE SOUTHERN DROUGHT. Forced on the Whites by the Weakness of the Negroes. From the New York Sun Many explanations have been offered for the spread of prohibition in the South. As a result of the inquiries here I am convinced that only one explanation is adequate, and that is the Negro. The men of the South point to the fact that when during the Civil War virtually every man had gone to the front, and in consequence all the women of the South were without their men relatives, such an unspeakable abomination as a Negro even saying any unseemly word to a woman was unknown. The Negroes, slaves as they were, knew that their masters and mistresses their friend, and cared for them with the gratitude that even the dog shows, the Negroes faithfully cated for their mistresses deprived of their husbands and brothers. Since the Civil War the Negroes have been "free," and how have they used and how do they use their freedom? According to the testimony of virtually every man in the South not a Republican office holder or office seeker, the Negro today female as well as male—a shiftless, lazy creature, whose only purpose in life is to obtain money enough to buy cocaine and alcohol. The Negroes call the alcohol whiskey. The result is that the male Negro who is bired to work, say in a brickyard or other such place, works until he has earned enough money to buy a big "jig" and then he quits. And no persuasion will cause him to work again until the "jig" money is exhausted. The female—the cook, the housemaid, the waitress—is the same. Cocaine and alcohol are the only things she craves and the only things for which she works. She, like her male relatives and friends, almost invariably is armed: the favorite weapon of the female is the knife that makes the receiver the authorities do what they can to prevent the Negroes carrying "concealed deadly weapons," but obviously their efforts cannot be very effective. Negroes, because of their highly emotional natures, and, too, because of their many weird superstitions, are extremely dangerous when under the influence of cocaine and alcohol. As the drug and the "whiskey" are the Negroes in low dress by lower white folk, the Negroes need work but a short time to lay by a sufficient sum of money to procure them. The result is evident to any observer, and it abundantly justifies the estimate of the Negroes of both seves that is held in the South. At any hour of day or night the streets of the towns and cities of the South contain crowds. Negroes whose only apparent occupation is that of a slave bearer of the city is listed since the Civil War, and each year it has been worse than the year before. It has been found impossible to restrain the Negroes in their use of "whiskey" and as a last resort the men of the South have felt that prohibition alone is adequate. W. R. C. The above letter is a sample of the one-sided and sweeping statements made to present the worst possible showing against the race in the South and elsewhere. Another correspondent easily refuted the wholesale slander of the race by asking if these statements were true, how could the facts of the ownership of homes and farms, thriving businesses and other evidences of material moral and mental progress, be explained. Undoubtedly real Prohibition in the South would be a good thing for the masses of both races, as the first impulse of the lawless mob is to incite its members to brutish violence by alcoholic stimulation. But unless the sale of spirituous liquors is absolutely prohibited to both races Prohibition will be of no avail. Ed. The Age. BRITISH COLUMBIA COPPER CO. pint of $000,000 Yearly. Under the spell of the "campaign scare" the whole market during the past week has suffered a decline. The Harriman issues have been on the run, the Hill stocks have shaded off, the industries have been weak and the copper stocks have eased off. When the strong advance made by the entire market during the past few weeks is considered, the recession of prices, due to profit taking and short selling, is but natural. With the next upturn in prices the position of the market will be the stronger because of the decline, for the public buying which is invariably induced, prices, the market will be further strengthened by the covering of the "short interest." Chief among the stocks which will respond to this strong technical position will be the good copper stocks. In previous articles I have pointed out a few copper stocks which are certain to participate in this advance. They included mines in Mexico, Arizona, and, Nevada. In this article I shall tell the readers of the AGR about the copper stock which represents mines in the State of Washington and British Columbia. I refer to the British Columbia Copper Company. The British Columbia Copper Company has a capital stock of $1,000,000, of which $2,513,000 have been issued. The par value of the stock is $$. This company was not incorporated for the purpose of affording rascals the opportunity to sell worthless stock, but for working and developing mines. The company owns the Mother Lode Group of claims in Deadwood Camp, the Oro Denoro and the British Columbia Group in Summit Camp, all in British Columbia; and the Napoleon Group in the State of Washington. It also owns four-fourths interest in the Emma Group in Summit Camp, and is developing under a bonding bond the Lone Star Group in the State of Washington—a total of twenty-four claims. There are several miles of underground workings in the Mother Lode Group. The Oro Denoro is a developed and shipping mine, bought by the company because of its valuable smelting ore. The Emma Group is said to have an $1,000,000 worth of ore in sight and is said to be the most promising as to the charitable permanence of its ore bodies. The company is a welter at Greenwood, B.C., with a capacity 2,000 tons a day, three furnaces with a capacity each of 7,500 tons a day, a converting plant, electrical motors, a compressor and full machine equipment. All these extensive improvements have been paid for out of earnings of the company. But what about the stock of this company as an investment? What reasons are there, if any, that its stock will sell higher than the price at which it is now quoted, $6.50 per share? A little figuring will answer these questions. The company is now producing about 2,000 tons of ore daily. As this ore averages one and one-half per cent, copper, the 2,000 tons treated give 30 tons or 60,000 pounds of copper daily. The cost of producing this copper is 6½ cents per pound, the copper selling at 13 cents a pound the company can make a profit of 41 cents a pound, or $2,970 per day. If this average is kept for 300 days in the year the company will have a profit of $941,000, or 35 per cent on the outstanding stock. If the average is kept up for only 200 days in the year the company will have a net profit of $941,000, or 25 per cent. For the sake of being conservative, I shall assume that the company will not make a profit of more than $94,000 early, but it has no bonded indebtedness and it is equipped with the latest machinery, and, therefore, no reason why it should not pay a third kind of at least 3 per cent, quarterly, or 12 per cent, annually, and then have left a surplus of more than $90,000. With its great plant and splendid earning capacity, the stock of the British Columbia Copper Company, in my opinion, can be safely bought around $6.50 per share, with the strong probability of its advancing to $9 or $10 within the next six months.

Music and the Stage FEDERAL MILITARY CENTER THEATRICAL COMMENT As was predicted by the writer several weeks ago, "Salome" is not a great sensation outside of New York City. In fact a crush has been inaugurated against the dance by the newspapers, church people and authorities of several cities. Perhaps the greatest surprise comes from Chicago where Lotta Faust and her "Salome" dance are meeting with considerable opposition from the citizens and press. She is appearing in Lew Field's "The Girl Behind the Counter," at the Garrick, and although the daily papers continue to knock the dance the management refuses to take it off. Miss Faust, until a few weeks ago, gave her version of "Salome" at the Casino Theatre, New York City, appearing all summer with the "Mimic World," which continues as an attraction at the Casino. During her long stay at the Broadway house she was one of the features of the show. Such a big hit did she make that the Shuberts decided to send her on the road in "The Girl Behind the Counter." They thought she would serve the people with her art. "She did!" Chicago instead of making a hit she raised a storm of protests from the church people and the press. The Chicago Journal recently referred to her dance as "cheap sensationalism; a scandalous, naked exhibition not demanded." Martin Beck, manager of the Orpheum Circuit, continues to refuse all "Salome" acts. When he declared a few weeks ago that his patrons would not stand for "Salome" and that he would not book any "Salome" acts, the vaudeville performers thought he was jesting. However, no one doubts his sincerity now, and it is not probable that the vaudeville patrons of the West will see "Salome"—at least in the large vaudeville houses. When Martin Beck was asked a few weeks ago what he thought of "Salome" he said: "Salome' can't do it. A 'Salome' dance is a degrading act. It can not be artistic without the original music. It is the music, not the dance. I've seen it done properly, and possessing the knowledge of what a 'Salome' dance should be. I shall not permit the present rage to invade the Orpheum Circuit houses." According to recent reports Toledo is also opposed to "Salome," and when an announcement was made that a "Salome" dance would be given at the Empire Theatre the citizens protested to the management. "Salome" in New York City will continue to draw crowds, providing it is danced in a sensational manner with vulgar suggestiveness, but in the majority of other cities it will meet with a chilly reception. Colored Act Invades the South. Is it possible that after all the Independent Booking people are to show a spirit of fairness and broad-mindedness toward the colored vaudleville performer? Judging from recent happenings we are to agreeably surprised by that office. The consensus of opinion is that the "White Rats," the leading organization of the white vaudleville performers, are opposed to colored acts in vaudleville. It is not probable that the organization is arrayed against colored actors, but the writer believes that in the "White Rats," as in every white organization, there are always some members who are opposed to the colored man. So when a vaudleville circuit was formed in which the "White Rats" were the prime movers it was talked about that "no colored acts need apply." "As was stated in last week's Age, Manager Mozart says he will play colored acts, which nailed one report. Now comes the information that the Independent Booking office is to go the Keith-Proctor people one better and play colored acts in several Southern cities. Last week Scott and Whalley were sent to Wheeling, W. V., where they appeared on the bill at the Wonderland Theatre with white performers. It was the first time in the history of vaudeville that a colored act played in that city. Upon hearing that Scott and Whalley had invaded what was supposed to be "forbidden territory," the writer sent a query to the team asking how they were treated. The following reply was received: "We are on a bill with all white acts. The manager of the theatre accepted us and has treated us royally. The stage hands and all, have been very good to us. The press has declared that, we are the first to appear in this city in vaudeville, and all the papers speak highly of us. The colored people seem to be highly elated over our presence here." Up to this time Keith & Proctor have refused to play colored acts in Wilmington, Del. Washington, D. C. Louisville, Memphis, Wheeling, Baltimore. New Orleans and Atlanta. It is to be hoped that the booking department of the big-office will note the success of the Wheeling experiment last week and act accordingly. It is also hoped that the Independent Booking Office will keep up the good work. "Bix Dale Seymour." One of the best colored acts, if not the best, in which considerable talking is indulged in is the "Six Dixie Serenaders" which played at Hammer- stein's last week. Vaudeville patrons do not seem to take kindly nowadays to an act that has much talking unless every line brings a laugh. Particularly is this true regarding colored acts. However, the "Six Dixie Serenaders" have a twenty-one minute sketch in which there is considerable dialogue, and the talk is accepted, too. The hit of the act is the minstrel first part. The opening is very good as is the closing, but some of the relief spots are a little weak because the dancing is slightly later the act opens. If the man are to dance they should put more ginger in that number as it tame in comparison with the rest of their program. To an observer one would think it is used merely as a filler-in. A good act should be full of ginger from the rise to the fall of the curtain. There are two funny comedians with the "Six Dixie Serenaders" in Harry Haynes and Charles Williams. They are good dancers and singers and contribute largely to the fun-making. Manager Leon Williams makes a very good interlocutor, and George Bennett sings a number creditably. There are two young women in the act—Beulah Hill and Florence Green—who sing, dance and look good. The "Six Dixie Serenaders" give one of the best colored acts in vaudeville. NEW SHOW AT FAMILY THEATER. Harrison Stewart With Company— Afterpiece, "Two Boys From Home." An Amusing Skit. Those who witnessed the performance of the new, show at the Family Theatre Monday evening were not as fortunate as the theatre-goers who attended the little Harlem playhouse later in the week. Last Monday evening John Rucker and his merry bunch appeared to a disadvantage—for several reasons. In the first place there was a sudden change inaugurated in the stage management of the company which made it necessary for new people to come in and at a moment's notice stage the after-piece and the musial numbers, which was done with but a few rehearsals. Then most of the women and half of the men were afflicted with a hoarseness the first of the week which rendered it impossible for several of the best singers to appear. Connected with the new show are some well known performers, including John Rucker, Harrison Stewart, Billy Ward, Cleo Desmond and Junniper and Hayes. The difference between the new and old show is that the hit of the program in the new show is the after-piece, while the minstrel first part carried off first honors in the old show. There are more laughs in this week's after-piece, which is entitled "The Two Boys From Home," staged by Harrison Stewart, in five minutes than in the whole of the old one. Rueket and Stewart furnish the principal comedy scenes and they have developed some very funny situations together. The after-piece Stewart sings "Common Sense" in his erstwhile humorous style. B. T. Brym has several very pretty songs in the new show, which would be more highly appreciated with a larger and better chorus. His overture, entitled "Ode to the Suwance," played in the minstrel first part, is also a meritorious number. Billy Ward is singing "Exit," and he is singing it. Monday evening he took so many encores that he was compelled to make his exit off, the stage before the audience would stop applauding. This week the leading comedian is using "There's Always Something Wrong," and Rucker is not only making a hit with the song but he is causing much laughter on account of his make-up. Edward Tolliver and Dan Frazier have songs in the minstrel first part, the forming singing "You Are My Life, My All," and the latter, "I'm Saving It All, You All." Both numbers being credibly-sung. Juniper and Hayes are the principals in the olio and do a neat sketch. They also sang several songs during the evening. They are two new girls in the company—Florence Brown and Nagatha Jolpin. The management would find it profitable to get several more girls as it would make the chorus more acceptable. The quartette continues to be one of the hits of the show. Judging from the attendance at the Family Theatre within the past ten days one would think that New York will willingly support a colored theatre—if the management "delivers the goods." One question has been at least decided and that is, such a theatre would get the support of the colored theatre-goers; but as the writer said—the management must "deliver the goods." PEKIN TO HAVE VAUDEVILLE. Will Have Variety Each Week—Also Stock Co.—Mallory Bron, and Brooks Return to Stage. CHICAGO. September 22.—Business continues good in spite of the hot weather and we look for a big improvement as soon as the weather gets cooler. Ianni, the "Salome" dancer, has established herself a favorite here and will keep the dance on for some time to come. Williams & Stevens pleased everybody in their sketch, "Dr. Doo Doo." Billy Earthquake well deserves his name, as he brought the house down at every performance with his luck and wing dancing. This is Prof. Rogers' third week and has proved quite a box office attraction. Vaudeville will be largely represented in the future. Both white-and-colored acts will be found on every week's bill. This week Wise & Milton head the bill in their new sketch, entitled "A Study in Redskin." They have special scenery for this act. Rice Brothers, a white act, will be seen for the first time at this house. They are clever comedians and parody singers. The Two Johnsons also make their first appearance. A one-act military travesty headed by Tim Owsley, supported by the Pekin THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1908 Stock Company, is the offering for this week's bill. Miss Anna St. Clair has joined the stock company and the chorus will be strengthened by the addition of several young women. Our future booking contains some of the biggest acts in vaudeville. Mallory Brothers and Brooks, their first appearance in three years, will be seen at this house shortly. They are old favorites in Chicago and will receive a warm welcome. SOUTHERN TOUR DISCONTINUED. Smart Set Co. to Jump From Atlanta, Ga., to Worcester, Mass. The Southern tour of the Smart Set Company has proven a failure, and Manager Barton has cancelled the twelve weeks' time the company is booked to play in the Southland. This week the show will close its Southern trip in Atlanta, Ga, and jump to Worcester, Mass, a distance of several thousand miles, where it will open expensive gowns which are first-class theatres their vated for more expensive that which would have been before is far below the now." "I am a radical dancer as far as extravagance in cerned," says Charlotte, W lieve that dishonesty of trust, failures in suicides are in a large mania for dress. In priz IS THE HIT OF BOSTON. "Bandanna Land" Continues to Be the Loading Attraction—Drawing Larger Houses. BOSTON, September 22.—This is the third week of "Bandanna Land" in this city and the show continues to be the theatrical sensation of the "Hub" city. The Orpheum Theatre is being crowded at each performance. The company will remain, here at least a week longer, going to New York City for a two weeks' engagement at the West End, Theatre, which is now under the management of the Shuberts.

COLE AND JOHNSON IN PITTSBURG. Playing at Bjorn Theatre—What the Members are Doing. PITTSBURG, Sept. 23—Cole and Johnson are at the Bjorn Theatre this week. The new show caught on from the beginning, and indications are the "Red Moon" will draw large houses all week. The company did a large business in Philadelphia last week and could have remained in the "Quaker City" another week. The male members of the company were entertained at a smoker at the Elks' Club while playing in Philadelphia, by Grant Williams, city editor of the Philadelphia Tribune. Philadelphia being her home, Miss Mamie Butler, one of the dashing "Gibson Gals," was continually on the go, Automobile rides, suppers, etc., were in order. Master Edgar Connors, as "Sambo Simmons," is the matinee idol. After every performance he gets a stage-door reception. The six dashing dusky dancing damsels are winning favor, not some times, but all times. Here they are: Misses Leona Marshall, Daisy Brown, Lottie Gee, Marion Potter; Pearl Taylor and Milly Dean. By request J. Rosamond Johnson attempted to sing "Just How Much I Love You." He must have forgotten the lyrics, because the refrain sounded something like this: "How much do you love me?" one time I asked a maid. "I love you, most to pieces," she laughingly said. Since then I've sat and pondered. upon these words she spoke. She loved me 'most to pieces,' But would she love me broke? Of what nationality is Cupid? Abbie Mitchell claims "Cupid is an Indian Piccaninny," and could you see her and listen to the convincing reasons for her belief, you, too, would say "Cupid is an Indian Piccaninny."

BOOKS NOW OPEN. SOUTHERN TOUR DISCONTINUED. Smart Set Co. to Jump From Atlanta Oh. to Washington, Mar. The Southern tour of the Smart Set Company has proven a failure, and Manager Barton has cancelled the twelve weeks' time the company is booked to play in the Southland. This week the show will close its Southern trip in Atlanta, Ga, and jump to Worcester, Mass, a distance of several thousand miles, where it will open October 4. On October 5 the Smart Set Company will begin a week's engagement at the Globe Theatre, Boston. The following statement was made at the office of Gus Hill Wednesday: "With a company of forty-old people we found it impossible to tour the South and make money. The managers of the theatres refused to allow the colored patrons to sit in but certain parts of the house and the whites did not patronize the show—thus we encountered bad business. "For the rest of the season the company will play stands North of the Mason and Dixon line." THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Eph Thompson is Meeting With Great Patriots at the Winter-garden, Berlin, Germany.

In the meantime, Miss Davis is filling short engagements for dramatic readings in the adjacent States and conducting her classes in elocution. THE THEATRICAL VOTE. Male Part of Stage Sentiment Monthly for Taft and Hughes. To find out how theatrical sentiment regards the Presidential candidates, the press agent of the Hackett Theatre took a vote in the company at rehearsal there yesterday. He reports that of forty-one male members of the company, thirty-eight were for Taft for President, two for Hisgen, and one for Debs. Most of them also wanted Hughes for Governor, and were in favor of either Roosevelt or McClellan as the next United States Senator from this State. The women were almost overwhelmingly in favor of Brvan, were tied on Hughes and Chanler for Governor, and chose Roosevelt for Senator. It is quite the earliest account of a straw vote taken in any theatrical company this season. ACTRESSES AND DRESS Well-known Women Who Frown Upon Flashy Clothes. Extravagance in dress is frowned upon by the women of the stage. No one could be more unostentation in their dress than a large number of our prominent actresses. Immediately the curtain falls the costly and elaborate gown of the play is discarded for the simple dress that belongs to the star's private life. "I love to take some inexpensive material and make something pretty out of it," says Ethel Barrymore, who is always well dressed but rarely expensive so. She hates conspicuousness in dress, and says: "It is not only vulgar but makes a girl look stupid." For several years before Ethel Barrymore reached the dignity of stardom she only wore black and white. In this way she could always look well and it was the least expensive. One of the best dressed women on the stage is Marie Cahill, but she spends much less on her clothes than one would believe. She insists upon her gowns fitting absolutely as she wants them. She allows the dressmaker her own way after selecting her gown until the third fitting, when she orders it taken in a trifle, here and let out a little there until it suits her. She says: "It is the way a gown fits that makes all the difference." "Extravagance, in dress is a crime," says Amelia Bingham, who has little respect for the woman who gives her modiste carte blanche in making a gown. She says: "They are nothing more than walking advertisements for whomsoever they patronize." Individuality is shown in Miss Bingham's gowns. That the theatre has considerable to do with woman's extravagance in dress is the belief of Margaret Illington. She says: "After seeing the beautiful and expensive gowns which are seen in all first-class theatres their taste is cultivated for more expensive gowns, and that which would have satisfied them before is far below their standard now." "I am a radical dress reformer as far as extravagance in dress is concerned," says Charlotte, Walker. "I believe that dishonesty of men in positions of trust, failures in business and suicides are in a large part due to this mania for dress." In private life Olga Nethersole does not approve of elaborate display and expenditure in costume. She would recommend that "Beauty unadorned is adorated most" as a motto to be displayed in every home. Charming simplicity characterizes everything that Maude Adams wears. Modes are common to not bother her in the least. Maxine Elliott marked simplicity in her dress, which she saw her beauty to perfection. "A lavish expenditure often is necessary on the stage," says Miss Elliott, "but off the stage. I believe in simplicity."—Exchange. Portsmouth, Va.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 23.—Because a white woman wanted to be baptized and engage in the foot-washing practices of the Church of God and Saints of Christ, commonly known as the "Holy Rollers," she has been pronounced crazy by the local authorities, and is now confined in a sanitarium. The officials assert they will retain her until she recovers from what they term "her religious frenzy." Since the church lost its prophet—W. S. Crowdy—it has been wrestling with the problem of electing a new prophet. It has been rumored that three leaders had been elected, one of whom was a white man. However, the officers of the organization say no prophet has been chosen, and that God, not man, will fill the late prophet's vacancy. At the 28th Annual Convention of the United Order of True Reformers, held at Richmond, Va., last week, Mr. W. R. Griffin was chosen for the fifth time as chief of the Washington division of the order. During his incumbency he has developed the True Reformers from a mere handful to a healthy and systematically governed body of 5,000 members. He is a financier of unusual ability and since his advent into the order has handled nearly $200,000 of the people's money, with every penny accounted for. He began his service as chief of the Washington division by transfer from Cincinnati, Ohio, October 1, 1903. Mrs. Sarah F. Lewis, of Anacostia, who served out the unexpired term of Mrs. M. E. Fennell, was elected divisional secretary for another year to succeed herself. The True, Reformers' Hall is the favorite place for musicals, banquets, soirees, etc., and recently has been fitted up for travelling theatrical parties. The stage has been enlarged, a new set of drops have been put in, and the dressing-rooms have been made more convenient. The improvements were installed under the supervision of Mr. J. A. Lankford, the architect who designed and erected the structure originally in 1903. The convention of Episcopalians to elect a bishop for this diocese to succeed the late Bishop Henry Yates Satterlee, will be held in October. The Negro clergymen of the Episcopal faith were among the strongest supporters of Bishop Brent, of Manila, who twice declined the place. The presence of 100,000 Negroes in this community renders it a missionary field of vast importance and creates a problem requiring a man of great breadth of vision and deep piety to handle acceptably. The colored members of the local clergy, therefore, are taking an active interest in the contest, desiring to throw the weight of their influence in the direction of a prelate who will have the welfare of the Negro people especially at heart. A conference has been called by Rector T. J. Brown, of St Luke's P. E. Church, for the purpose of bringing together the several colored clergymen and having a thorough understanding. They feel that it will be of untold advantage to act as a unit and make themselves felt in selecting the right man as the head of the local church. Mr. Alberius Brown, for a number of years' private secretary to Senator Charles Dick, of Ohio, has located at Toledo, where he will practice law. He is a young man of unusually fine literary and legal attainments and is a graduate of Howard University. Mr. W. H. Clifford and wife, Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, have returned from a visit to Cleveland. They attended the meeting of the Niagara Movement at Oberlin in the "Western Reserve." Mr. J. C. Gilmer, editor and manager of the Charleston, W. Va., Advocate, passed through the city Saturday, en route home from a business trip to New York. Recorder John C. Dancy, delivered the Emancipation aDy address yesterday at Chambersburg, Pa., and Register W. T. Vernon performed a similar service at Marietta, Ohio. It is needless to say that each acquitted himself with credit A city-wide reception was tendered Bishop J. W. Smith a few evenings ago at the Metropolitan Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church. All denominations were represented and congratulatory speeches were made by the pastors of the leading churches. A number of valuable presents were handed to the distinguished prelate Bishop Smith is now the presiding Bishop of the Washington diocese of the A. M. E. Zion Church, succeeding Bishop G. W. Clinton. He owns one of the handsome residents of the city, located at 1009 R street. N. W. valued at $10,000. Former Register of the Treasury Judson W. Lyons has returned to the city. He is to take the stump for Taft and Sherman. Mrs. M. W. D. Norman, wife of the pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, has left Norfolk, Va., where she had been visiting, and is spending a few days with relatives at Elizabeth City, N. C. Dr. P. F. Jones, of Danville, Ky., and Dr. P. M. Black, of Louisville, Ky., are attaching the Tuberculosis Congress, in session here. Mrs. Leonora Jones, of New Haven, Conn., is the guest of her daughter, Miss Arsine Elizabeth Jones, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, of 1748 Wallach place, N. W. Mr. Samuel T. Henry, of the Depot Quartermaster's Office, War Department, has returned to the city, accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Laura, Henry, and two baby boys and sister Miss Mary Frances Ennis. Mrs. James Wyatt, Misses Victoria Hill, Mattie Bedford, Susie B. and Ida M. Crump, Sadie Harper and Zenobia F. Oliver, all fair Richmondites, have been recent visitors at the Capital. plished daughter of Bishop E. W. Lampton, continues as chief clerk in the office of the financial department of the A. M. E. Church, under Secretary John F. Hurst. She is an expert accountant. The Negro-American Political League has opened headquarters at 1011 New York avenue and the officers say they will make a vigorous campaign among the Negro voters of the country from now on. They deny the assertion that they are in receipt of any funds from the Democratic party, stating that it is their purpose to raise $10,000 from the Negroes of the country to defray the expenses of their campaign. Prof. Amphias H. Glenn, instructor in English at the M. Street High School, has returned from a trip in Europe, where he spent the summer on observation and study. Miss Nettie McClain, of Peducah, Ky., has entered the trained nurse department of Howard University. Steps are being taken to reorganize the administration and technical staff of Freedmen's Hospital. The institution will be conducted on an up-to-date basis, to be in keeping with its magnificent modern hospital appointments. The spirit of Howard University will be the governing force and both the school and the medical department will receive a forward impetus under the new arrangement. Judge Robert H. Terrell attended the celebration of the centennial anniversary of the founding of Prince Hall Lodge of Masons, in Boston, last week. His address on the historic character of Masonry was one of the finest heard during the convention. Judge Terrell affiliated with Prince Hall Lodge while a student at Harvard University. It is said that 500 colored girls have on file applications for the position of printers' assistant in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The Treasuring Department has found that colored girls give better satisfaction in these places than white and it is practically understood, that, as far as possible, the former will be given the preference when appointments are made. The work is hard, but the pay is generous, being about $50 per month, and promotions for meritorious service are frequently given out. The job is looked upon as a district plum, as appointments to clerkships are out of the question for Washingtonians, with the quota many times too full. State lines and appointment are overlooked in the appointment of printers' assistants. Mrs. Annie E. Waddleton, organizer and lecturer, attended the annual session of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church at Baltimore last week and was called upon to read the annual address of the president, Mrs. Fannie Jackson Coppin. Miss Mary L. Curtis, of this city, was also a delegate and presented an interesting paper on "Thoroughness." Besides the regularly-elected delegates to the B. M. C., among those who went to the great convocation of Odd Fellows last week at Atlantic City were: Recorder John C. Dancy, Lawyer Thos. I. Jones, Rev. E. H. Hunter and others. Mrs. Pettia Washington Pittman, daughter of Dr. Booker T. Washington, is giving instruction in music at her studio at Fairmount Heights, and has quite a goodly number of pupils. She has her $1,000 grand piano, the gift of her father, in giving her lessons. Rev E H Hunter, State Superintendent of the Allen Christian Endeavor League, is making extensive preparation for the annual meeting of the League, which will be held in this city about the first week in November. Lieut. Ernest R. Gather, of New Jersey, delivered an instructive lecture last Thursday evening at True Reformers' Hall on "Our Forty Years' March of Progress." The lecture was aimed to be a complete and vivid pictorial expression of Negro life, energy and progress, illuminated with apt illustrations and sprightly annotated. Mr. Morrison Goodrich, the well-known tenor, rendered a solo Prof J. Henry Lewis, director and manager of the famous Amphibion Glee Club, is at his desk again at the office of the Interstate Commerce Commission after a pleasant visit to Toronto, Canada, Niagara Falls and Buffalo. Prof Lewis says the Amphibians have a larger and more tuneful repertoire of selections than ever before and their engagements for the coming season include an appearance at the White House and at the homes of several members of the Cabinet, both houses of Congress and the diplomatic corps. Mr. and Mrs. George D) Jenifer, formerly of Tuskegee, are domiciled at the home of Mr. and Mrs J. H. Washington, 1526 Pierce place. Dr. L. H Harris, the manufacturing chemist, has purchased a magnificent residence at the corner of Third and C streets, N. E., and has installed his family therein. The property is a brownstone front with fourteen rooms and is regarded as one of the most desirable homes owned by a colored man in Washington. It is known as "Villa De Harris." Dr Harris is the patentee of several fast-selling proprietary medicines and toilet articles, and recently shipped a large order of goods to Guinne, a French possession in Africa. He is organizing a syndicate of colored pharmacists, with a view of establishing a system by which the druggists of the race may buy many high-priced proprietary preparations at adjantianous rates.

Such things as cotton, rice, corn and all land products, live stock, mules, horses, goats, cows, sheep, hogs, poultry, etc. will be put on exhibition. Already several exhibits have been sent in. New Haven, Conn. NEW HAVEN, September 21.—Rev. R. W. Barnall, rector of St. Andrew's Church, Cleveland, O., preached at St. Luke's P. E. Church Sunday morning. His theme was "The Garden of Paradise." He said, "When God walked through the garden and called Adam and Eve they ran" and hid themselves from Him, representing those persons who fail to do God's work as actually hiding from God. Mr. Ragnall eloquently gave testimony which showed deep thought and a keen awareness of the subject. The rector, Rev. Bowles, was seated in the chancel where he heard many nice things said about him. The speaker said that Mr. Bowles was an exceptionally brilliant student and that he was graduated second in his class from Bexley Hall, the divinity school of Kenyon College, Gambier, O., and was the only colored member of his class. At this service the three little children of Mr. and Mrs. George Price were baptized, They were Ike Virginia, Marissa Kritzer and Featherton. Theponer was Mrs. Mary L. Henderson, Mr. John J.

Mrs. Ila Harewoodo and three children of Deep River, Conn., have returned home after a pleasant visit of ten days with Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Golden, of Whalley avenue. Mrs. J. O. Jones, of 151 Ashmine Street left last Thursday for Washington, D.C., she will spend a visit of two weeks with her daughter, Miss Arsene Jones, who is a stenographer in that city. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Taylor, formerly of this city, now of New York City, were the guests of their cousins, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Barclay, of 155 Ashmine street. September 13. Miss Anna E. Morgan, of Troy, spent a part of her vacation in New York City last week with Mrs. Laura Richardson and Mrs. H. Cushburn. She will be the guest of Mrs. E. George Biddle, of 167 Goffe street. Mrs. Alizail Jackson, of 103 Goffe street is seriously ill. Others who attended the Church Workers' Conference at Brooklyn in St. Augustine's P. E. Church last week were: Mr. J. H. Grillin, M. T.

Mrs. Arthur Prout and her sister, who have been visiting here, have left for their home in the South. The supper held at the St. Mary's Mission last Thursday was a success financially. the best training and the most gracious demeanor. Miss Brydie, who teaches Latin in the Kansas City High School, has just won her A.B. degree from the Chicago University. This young woman is a fine example of the ambitious young colored woman of to-day. The singular-feature of Miss Brydie's success is that she won this high university degree by spending all of her vacation hours in the university after her hard year's work of teaching. It is altogether a hopeful sign to witness the increasing number of young Negro women who regard their responsibility as teachers so seriously as to be willing by sacrifice of alluring vacation rest and pleasures in order that they may be the better trained to give to the colored student not only the best of learning but the example of a personality made superior by the very best academic training.
