VOL. XXII. No. 3. ORGANIZE IN WESTCHESTER Negro Voters Hold a Big Meeting at New Rochelle Saturday Evening They Declare Loyalty to the Republican Party and Pledge Support to the Nominees. No Toll Voters to Stand by Party--Voters Pown Westchester Negro Republican League —Eich District Represented In Westchester County the folks have gone wild For William H. Taft, G. O. P.'s fav'rite child. When you pop the question: "Will Big Bill win out?" They'll say, "It's all over, yes, all but the shout!" —L. A. W. New Rochelle, Oct. 12—There are four thousand Negro voters in Westchester County, N. Y., and the success of the Republican party in the county depends largely upon the support given it by the Negroes. This election the Negro voters are enthusiastically for Taft and Hughes, and William M. Ward, County Committeeman, is wearing a smile that won't come off. It was only last Saturday, however, that the leaders of the State and county were able to state with authority that the Republican nominees would receive the undivided support of the Negro voters of Westchester County, for it was only Saturday that these voters gave expression of their political opinion. Although Republicans, the Negroes of Westchester county, as in many sections of the country, have been luke warm this year on campaign matters. As was stated time and time again, last Saturday, the voters thought they had a grievance against the G. O. P., which they wanted righted. Until a short time ago the party managers were losing no little sleep—day and night—over the independent attitude of the Negro voters of the county, but political misunderstandings have been amicably adjusted, hence Committee Ward's reason for wearing a "Sunny Jim" smile. Last Saturday the Negro voters of Westchester met in New Rochelle and effected a political organization to be known as the Westchester Negro Republican Representatives from Mt. Vernon, Peeksville, Porterchester, Rye, Croton, Hartison, Mamaronack, Ossining, New Rochelle, Yonkers, Tarrytown, White Plains and other districts in the county were present. After forming the league during the day, the delegates and voters participated in a big mass meeting at night at the Negro Business Men's League Hall, at which Paul H. Bray presided. The meeting was marked for the enthusiasm created by the principal speakers, who were present to advise the voters to stand by the Republican party despite the overtures being made by the Democrats to vote for Bryan in no venom. Among the speakers were ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, Fred. R. Moore, T. Thomas Fortune, J. E. Bruce, Rev. Granville Hill, Rev. J. D. Boyd and J. Harvey Harner. Ex-Gov. Pinchback was the orator of the event, and the reception accorded him when introduced by the chairman was a hearty one. He advised the voters to perfect an organization that would be beneficial to themselves as he recited the Republican party. He recited this information with the Republican party and advised his hearers to show loyalty to the G. O. P. in November. "Show the party managers that you are with them for the success of the Republican ticket, and I am sure they will show you their appreciation in more than one way," declared the venerable speaker. During the meeting the following resolutions were adopted. We recited the Republican party, the party of equal rights for all and special privileges for none, has from its inception in 1856 consistently adhered to its fundamental principles, enacted them into the Federal Constitution and into the constitution of every Republican State over the opposition of the Democratic party in the North and in the South, and HERESA. We do not believe that there is any present circumstance that warrants us in seeking the defeat of Republican policies and candidates and promoting in any way the policies and candidates of the Democratic party, of defeating our friends and promoting our enemies, the party's enemies who have nullified in their agitations and their enactments into laws the civil and political rights guaranteed by the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments; therefore, be Resolved. That the Westchester Neo-Republican League does hereby declare its loyalty to the Republican party, and pledge itself to do everything in its power to promote the welfare and succ THE NEW YORK AGE. cess of the party in the coming election in Westchester County, and be it further *Resolved.* That we endorse the splendid leadership in this county and State of our National Committeeman and County Chairman, Hon.

Be it further *Resolved.* That we also endorse the leadership of Hon. Leslie Sutherland, of Yonkers, admired by all local Democrats, and beloved by all local Republicans, and manliness, and for his magnanimity toward all and malice toward none. Another resolution adopted was: *Resolved.* That we renew to General James S. Clarkson, Surveyor of the Port of New York, our affectionate appreciation of his long and directed sympathy for and interest in the Afro-American population, and contention for their just rights under the constitution and in the Republican party.

THE COURTS MUST DECIDE Whether the Union Station Cafe Manager at Washington Can Refuse to serve Negroes. Waltham Station, U.S.A., Oct. 12—Some question the wording was called to the fact that discrimination was being shown between colored and white patrons in the Union Station Restaurant. Complaints have been filled with the District Commissioners by Negroes, it being alleged that the waiters in some cases refused to serve colored customers and at other times were so slow; that the would-be patrons got tired of waiting and Lave left the place. The foolishness of the present lessee is especially exo-perating, for when the company was in control, before the erection of the new station, the 6th street depot was the one place in the town where a colored person could get a good meal or luncheon and under pleasant auspices. The District Commissioners "passed up" the complaints to the corporation counsel and that learned official hands out the following opinion, which may mean much or nothing—presumably the latter. His oracular deliverance reads: "The Commissioners have no power to decide in a case of this kind. The Union Station Cafe manager has no right to tell Negroes that they cannot enter the cafe, yet he may charge the thirty-five prices for the good. The question is one for the courts to decide." ENTHUSIASM AT HIGH PITCH Big Meeting and Parade in Wilmington Last Friday—R. R. Horner Speaks on the topic. WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 12—Last Friday evening enthusiasm was at a high pitch at the large mass meeting of the Negro Republican voters, held at Odd Fellows' Temple. Since the campaign opened the Negroes have conducted several meetings in this city, but the one Friday evening eclipsed all previously held from a standpoint of attendance and ardor displayed for the Republican nominees. The meeting was presided over by Charles H. Colburn, leader of the Negro Republicans in Delaware. Before the speaking at Odd Fellows' Hall there was a parade, in which several hundred voters participated. The line of marte was through the principle of the city and the playing of the hands and the cheering of the marchers for Taft, Sherman and the Republican nominees on the State and local tickets made an imposing scene. When Chairman Colburn called the meeting to order there were at least one thousand persons in the hall. It was made manifest at the meeting that when election day comes the Negroes of Delaware will contribute to a large extent in keeping their State Republican. Attorney R. R. Pomer member of the D.C. Council of Washington, D.C. was the principal speaker and was listened to with no little attention. He was at all times eloquent and handled the main issues of the campaign in a way that impressed his hearers that he knew whereof he spoke. At the conclusion of his speech he was warmly applauded. R. R. Moore, editor of Ture New York, Agr. follower, admitted the fact that he did little for the Republic ticket. He also referred to the fact that there was not a Negro lawyer in Delaware, due to the Democrats of th State controlling the judiciary in such a way as to prevent all Negro applicants from securing admission to the bar. Prominent citizens on the platform were Rev. B. T. Moore, Rev. J. W. Hughes, Rev. Wm. E. Greenwich-Dr. S. G. Elbert, Edgar Washington, Prof. M. Sterling and Jas. W. Greenwich, among the speakers were taken to the Monday Club where they were entertained by President James A. Anderson and others. AN AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEWS AND OPINION NEW YORK, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15,1908 OUT FOR TAFT If They Help Democratic Party to Win Southern Democrats Will Seek to Have Anti-Negro Laws Passed in the North NASHVILLE, Oct. 14.—J. C. Napier, President of the Penny Savings Bank, this city, has come out for Taft and Sherman, and believes his State has a chance of going Republican in November. In an interview with a representative of THE AGE Mr. Napier discussed the political situation as follows: "The campaign begins to wax warm in these parts, and while we now and then hear of a colored man who expresses his intention to vote against our Republican candidate for Governor—a thing greatly to be deplored—we never hear one say that he will vote against Taft and Sherman and the national Republican ticket. "The Negroes of this country will never, by voting for Bryan and Democracy, place the seal of their approval upon Southern methods, upon 'Jim Crow' legislation, and upon the grandfather constitutional clauses adopted by the Democrats for the purpose of robbing them of their franchise. Though weak and timid and deficient in many respects, they are too wise to be caught in this sort of a trap. "If Democracy should succeed by the aid of the Negro vote of the North, the cry would go up at once from every Democratic throat in the South that its methods and its treatment of the Negro had been endorsed by the Negroes themselves and by the country at large. They would then claim the right to vote in the South States, and would immediately demand the enactment of the same 'Jim Crow' legislation and disfranchisement measures which have robbed the Negro of the South of every civil and political right which the Federal Constitution ever 'guaranteed' him. "No, in my opinion, the colored voters of this country will never lend their aid to such a 'consumption—the homesome colored one dollar, circular contribution Democrat of the North and East to the contrary notwithstanding. "The citizens of the North and West are now overcrowded with colored people who have been literally driven from their hometowns by Democratic methods. If in their Southern homes they could have enjoyed the same freedom and liberty, the same equality under law (the heritage of every American citizens), which they sought and have found in these new places of refuge, they would never have forsaken their Southern homes. They still love these homes and those whom they have left behind, but they love librarians, teachers, and others or their vote to again bring these conditions upon themselves or to further foster them to the detriment of their kith and kin in the South. "A most vigorous, active and enthusiastic campaign is necessary to bring out the colored vote. When once aroused there is no doubt but that it will be cast almost unanimously in all parts of the country for the Republican tieet. "The great hope of the colored man of the South is that his brother in the North may, in the coming election, cast a ballot that will help him to throw off the yoke of oppression which the Democratic party, his arch-enemy, has placed upon his neck." Dr. Emory on Speaking Tour MACON, Ga., Oct. 14—Dr. W. O. Emory, Georgia's favorite orator, who made such a lasting impression upon the vast assemblage at the Chicago Convention, is making telling speeches for Taft and Sherman in Ohio and New York. He is drawing large audiences and winning votes for the Republican ticket in strongholds where the "disaffected" colored were said to be numerous. "In a communication received, here yesterday Dr Emory said that the reports concerning the apathy and "disaffection" among the colored voters has been greatly exaggerated. He had met all those there, but was surprising the greeces of unanimity in their opinion that the race had no guarantee of their civil and political rights save in Republican success. COLUMBUS MAN GETS PATENT. J. P. France Invente Railroad Signaling Device. Continues, Oct. 14,—J. P. France, of 1199 Parker street, has been informed that a patent for his automatic railroad signalling device has been issued at Washington. The invention contemplates the use of compressed air to operate semaphores through an attachment at the rail, which is effected by the flange of the locomotive wheel and the brake pedal. The brake pedal is blocked so that no other train or part of train can enter. The road is clear and the engineer can proceed in assurance that there'll be no collision ahead or behind, for if another engineer should ignore the signal either in front or behind, and seek to run past it, he would be derailed. Mr. France, who is a Negro in the employ of the waterworks department, and a' former sleeping car porter, has been assisted in securing his patent by W. C. Holliday, superintendent of the department, and C. C. Sheperd, attorney. He says railway men who have seen the device pronounce it superior to the brought the case. They report, he says, that no other automatic device meets the requirements. They wish to remove the dependence upon human endurance and watchfulness. Mr. France's first idea was to use electricity, but he changed to compressed air because he was advised it was not reliable. Operation, he says, can be carried on at an expense of 75 cents a day for a distance of 80 miles. The semaphores may be 50 miles more or less. SAYS IT IS FALSE Dr. Washington Wise The Age That He Never Said Negroes Were Against Taft. MOUND BAYOU, October 12.—Dr. Booker T. Washington emphatically denies the charge of certain Negro Democrats of Chicago that he declared to a reporter of the Philadelphia Inquirer last May that upon personal investigation he found but few Negroes who favored the nomination of Judge William H. Taft. In reply to THE AGE, whose editor wired the well-known educator asking him to confirm or deny the charges made in Chicago, THE AGE received the following: Mound Bayou, May, Oct. 10, 05. To Fred R. Moore, Editor THE NEW YORK AGE; Interview with me reported in Philadelphia Inquirer May, 1908, totally false. Have made no such utterances. Have not seen same till called to my attention by you. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. GETS VERDICT AGAINST LODGE James L. Taylor Awarded 81,000 Damages by Jury. Because he was ejected from a meeting of Odd Fellows, James L. Taylor, member of the Hamilton Lodge, G. U. O. of O. F., has obtained a verdict of $1,000 against the lodge. Last Friday a jury in Supreme Court, Justice Guy's Court, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. Justice Guy ordered the amount of damages cut to $750, as he considered $1,000 too much. If this is not accepted by Taylor a new trial will be directed. Taylor charged that when he attended a debate meeting on December 12, 1995, Grand Noble Gon-ow was ordered ejected because he had not paid a $10 fine inicted previously for striking the Grand Noble. Taylor had appealed the decision to the headquarters of the Order, and thought, pending the result, he was in good standing. He refused to leave, and was ejected by Goosby, Arthur G. Derrick, Henry H. Dennis and John W. Howe, who accused the lodge against whom the damages were awarded, collectively and individually. Sheenhead Bay.

GEORGIA ELECTION ALARM OVER Bryan's Party Managers Deplore Action of Southern Democrats Concode That Chance of Securing Negro Vote in November Very Much Impaired by Adoption of New Voting Laws 1. He must have rendered honorable service in some one of the wars of the United States or the State of Georgia. 2. Or he must be lawfully descended from some person who has rendered such service. 3. Or he must be of good character and understand the duties of citizenship under a Republican form of government. 4. Or he must possess a certain amount of education. 5. Or he must possess a certain amount of property. ATLANTA, Oct. 14—Last week's election in Georgia, whereby the Democrats passed an amendment to the constitution which means disfranchisement to hundreds of Negroes in that State, has aroused the fire of thousands of Negro voters throughout the country, and comes, at an inopportune time for Bryan and the Democratic party. The threat of the Democrats of West Virginia to disfranchise the Negroes of that State has done much to injure Bryan with those voters who were on the fence several months ago; but the suit of the Georgia election has insured the Republican party of securing the united support of the Negroes in November. Since the adoption of the constitutional amendment, which is a plan of the Democrats of Georgia to limit the suffrage of the Negroes, there has been heard expressions of discontent from the Negro voters in the so-called doubtful York, who have resisted with the methods used by the Democrats in the South to deprive the Negro of his vote. Many of the party managers who have been asking the Negro to support Bryan are much alarmed over the result of the Georgia election, which they know will hurt them in such States as New York, Illinois, and Indiana. Their only excuse when questioned on the disfranchisement amendment is that the affair is only local and that the Eastern Democrats cannot be blamed for the actions of the voters in Georgia. A peculiar feature of the election was that while the majority of Negro voters supported the Democratic ticket and voted for Dem Brown, there were humiliated for Dem Brown, the favor of the Negro voting for any party in Georgia, and acted accordingly at the polls. ANSWERS CHISUM LETTER Robert A. Travis Discusses Communication That Recently Appeared in New York World. Following is a letter recently forwarded to the New York World in reply to a letter that appeared in that paper of which Melvin J. Chisum was author: To the Editor of the World—Sir: In your issue for to-day I read with surprise the letter over the signature of Melvin J. Chisum and was forced to exclaim, "Et tu Brute." Can it be that my good friend is about to slide into the midst of those inoculated with that dementia negromania, "Black Democracy?" In the Chicago platform is a plank boldly proclaiming the attitude of the Republican party toward the Negro—a strong demand for our civic and political rights, a hearty appreciation of our progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship and an earnest insistence on the full and complete enforcement of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, by virtue of which alone may Negroes aspire to the loftiest calibre of civilization and citizenship. The Denver platform, adopted by the National Democratic Convention on July 10, contains nothing of special interest to Negroes as separate and distinct from other peoples who go to make up our great American nation. It pledges "just and lawful protection of our citizens at home and abroad" "the right to vote, to be a citizen or ered." What a bomb would have exploded in the convention had the author of the platform added the word "color" to that plank. The plain, ungarnished truth is that the Republican party has been, for over fifty years, the consistent friend of the Negro, and is still the same. But for the kind, protecting arm of that party, when we first began our racial existence as a freedmen we would have been on the road of life which has made it possible for us to ascend the ladder of being with a rapidity at which the world wonders. In the gall of our ignorance then and in the bonds of our illiteracy but far this kindly protection ours, no doubt, would have been the fate which befell some of the inferior race of the Old World when confronted with a comrade hard more than held our own in spite of the severest competition, any weaker race has ever been called upon to face. This has been due to the fact that the Republican party opened wide the door of opportunity and hope to us and is still holding that door open. The Brownsville affair caused universal grief among Negroes, but are we justified in condemning the whole party because of the hasty act of one of its officers? I admit that this was an insult to us. Has there not been, is there not still, hundreds, myriads of insults and infamies burned into our racial flesh by democracy? Can we blind our eyes to the fact that President Roosevelt has appointed Negro men to office of his presidency? Unmindful of the fact that a Republican administration has deemed itself justified in placing confidence in over 3,000 Negro men who receive salaries aggregating $3,000,000 per year? The Democratic State Convention of West Virginia in its pledging Negro disfranchisement in event of success forecasts what we may well expect in event of the success of the national Democratic ticket. Mr. Chisum, I know, appreciates the fact that our race is at the most crucial period of its existence in American—a moment when some people are beginning to view the world with dear-bought treasure of liberty and citizenship, the only heritage ancestry had to leave us, and thereby not only blast the hopes of the friends of liberty throughout the world, but also rob our posterity of what is rightfully theirs. Can Negroes afford to do this? Shall we give strength to Democracy and betray our blood in the house of our friends? God forbid! Never let it be said that we Negroes of to-day are such blind fools. When Democracy, in its Southern strength, convinces us by repealing the laws of disfranchisement into Jim Crow, that believes the inherent rights of man, then and not until then will it be time to seek Democratic affiliations. ROBERT A. TRAVIS, President Negro American Republican League, East Orange, N. J. NEGROES OF MARYLAND IN LINE "Will Help Republicaene Carry Ticket," Say Mayer A. Cummings. BALTIMORE, October 14.—Attorney Harry S. Cummings, member of the first branch of the City Council, this city, is very optimistic over the prospects of the Republicans carrying Maryland.

The Negrove vote of this city and State is determined th. no false arguments will deter them from standing with everything which makes for the industrial and business success of our common country. "Some fattie efforts are being made to win a few, but the character of the men making the attempt is sufficient reasons for making it a failure. "Our registration has been good and I have no fear of the result. Maryland's Negrove vote will be in lone for the entire ticket."

Peculiar Situation Has Developed in Topeka Public Schools PUBLIC AND PRESS Ridicule the Conduct of White Children Who Refuse to Attend School With Negroes The Topeka State Journal in Long Editoria Calls Pupils louserdinate, and also Biames the Parents for Their Action TOPEKA, Oct. 14.—Widespread interest is being shown in the strike of a few white pupils in the lower grades of the public schools of this city, who have left school because they no longer want to associate with the Negro children. Instead of taking the incident seriously, the daily newspapers and prominent citizens ridicule the conduct of the white children and have bitterly denounced their parents for encouraging them in their indiscretion. It is not likely that the School Board will take official notice of the actions of the white children. As has been said by one of the members of the board, they will either attend school with Negro children or secure their education outside of the public schools. In referring to the strike the Topeka State Journal said: "The late defection of a few white pupils from the grade schools of Topeka and dignified by the pretentious name of a strike forms a ridiculous incident in connection with Topeka school history. "The authorities are wise in not giving too much attention to it. The white pupils who have left the schools should be sent back to their desks immediately by the unwise parents who have not already done so, or who have abetted the juvenile insurrections. "These insubordinate pupils who would run the schools regardless of the law and the equal rights of all children of school age should be switched or removed if they do not appear soon in their usual seats the truant officer should be dispatched forthwith to the homes of the recalcitrants. That should settle the matter. "The ridiculous position of the striking pupils and parents lies in the fact that all children, regardless of color, are entitled to equal school privileges. The striking pupils can and are remotely accomplish what they foolishly set out to do, namely, to drive the colored children from the school rooms, the city would forthwith have to practically duplicate at enormous expense its entire school equipment, including buildings and instructors, and including both the high schools, for the colored pupils are as much entitled to tuition payment for out of state taxes levied upon both the whites and the blacks. "The outcome of the matter would be that for the sake of eliminating a small proportion, as a rule, of the colored students, the white people would have to pay more, than four-fifths of the additional taxes necessary to duplicate our school system aside from the few colored schools now in use where the colors are separated, like, Monroe and Washington schools. The whole business is a tempest in a teapot and it will be up to the truant officer and his official weapons to care for the situation, unless the 'revolutionists' do not at once to their readers, 'riters and 'rith-meties. "It should be a prompt resumption of the three 'r's above named, or a strenuous application by Trunt Gage of the Rules for Ready Relief available by the authorities when such symptoms appear as those which came to the surface in educational circles in Topeka." NEGRO OFFICERS IN PARADISE No Attempt Made to Draw Color Film in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, October 14—Contrary to the report in circulation, there were Negro policemen in the big Founder's Week, police, parade last Tuesday in this city. It was rumored that Director of Police, Safety Clay had issued an order to the lieutenants to exclude all Negro policemen from the parade and let them do patrol duty. It was noticed during the parade that there were a number of Negro policemen in line, and that there was no discrimination shown. When the report was circulated that there would be no Negro officers in line the following denial was sent out from headquarters: "No such orders have been given. We selected men from various station houses, having the best drilled men for the occasion, and no mention was made of the color or nationality of the men in the sentence required for the day's parade. If there happens to be any well drilled colored officers in such station house, they will be in line with other officers." ```markdown ``` WE take great pleasure in presenting Mr. George W.

JAMES A. PARKER POLITICAL SITUATION LOOKS GOOD. Republican Leaders Bring Good News to Washington WASHINGTON, D. C. October 13—The middle of October finds the political situation very reassuring to the Republican party. Factional differences have melted away under diplomatic treatment of able and patriotic leaders of both races in State and National affairs. Ample means for forthcoming and the magnificent discipline of the party organization has been developed, and seem in motion the machinery that promises the most signal victory achieved by the Republican party since the Civil War. The Republican party is rich in men and in resources. Reverses are readily recovered and campaign "seares" simply put it on its fighting mattle. The "ginger jar" opened by the President is still on tap and the appetite for war has been sharpened to a keen edge. The arm is in trim for its bounty. And the military will be spirited enough to suit the most aggressive "scraper" in the country. The Democratic party has but one man who can make any impression on the field. That man is Mr. Bryan himself—and he is "clearly on the run." That he is a line campainer no one will deny, but Mr. Taft has proven more than a match for him, and has turned the searchlight of truth so mercilessly upon his "ims" and imperialistic vagaries that he is kept busy defending himself at every crossroads. By the presentation of solid facts and sound principles Mr. Taft has dislodged the "perilous one" in the section wherein he had based his fondest hopes—great Middle West, great Confidence-inspiring speeches—have set this productive country alame. The people have heard him gladly, and their conviction Republican party is the one anchor of the nation's prosperity it is strong that Mr. Bryan, with all of his glittering rhetoric and fascinating periods, will not be able to follow him and wrest from him the advantage his statesmanly discussions and engaging personality have gained for him among the business and industrial forces of the nation's garden spot. He won the affections of the farmers and the manufacturers, and at Omaha, Kansas City, Topeka and St. Louis his reception at the hands of the Negroes indicated that he had a host of since admirers among the blacks of New England and the tier of important with the Atlantic have been with the Ohioan from the start because of the party's unwavering stand for sound finance. Now, ading to this score the electoral votes of the agricultural region between the Allegiance and the Reunion, together with the El Dorado that lies along the Pacific Shore, the success of Taft and Sherman is only a master of counting the ballots. Their triumph is written in the stars. The council of the "giants" last week at the White House showed a highly satisfactory state of things. William L. Ward and George R. Sheldon came down from New York bearing new Taft has the State "called down" and that Gov. Hughes has an outlook that presages another victory. Mr. Elmer Dover sees nothing but Taft in Ohio, West Virginia and Illinois; Senator Hemenway vowed for Indiana, and authentic reports from Missouri and Kentucky indicated that we have more than a "look-in." The President, therefore, although be- secheed to do so, perceives no necessity for his going on the stump and will witch salvation work itself out through the American people's free and untrammeled choice. There is much hard work yet to be done, but Mr. Hitchcock has so systematically planned the details that there is no doubt, that the results already achieved can be held against all comers. It is regarded here and in New York as entirely safe to prepare for the shouting that will be due in November. The senior class of the School of Liberation of Howard University, Washington D. C., met on October 7 and organized. The following were elected as officers: Herbert M. Freshy, president: Thos. W. Grissom, vice-president: John N. Cotton, secretary, and B. Henj. H. Junior, treasurer. Howard University Nets. More than 130 new students have registered in the Howard University School of Medicine. All the students are delighted with the new improvements and the new equipment they have been expended in the last year in improvements and equipment in the school of medicine alone. The floor space devoted to the dental college has been trebled. The University choir now numbers nearly fifty. One hundred dollars' worth of equipment has been purchased. The choir processional and recessional are a most impressive part of the service at vespers every Sunday afternoon, at which the chapel is crowded. The freshman class in the school of liberal arts this year shows a registration larger than the entire body of college students. A large number of academies and colleges are represented in the attendance. In addition to a ten per cent. increase in the salaries of all professors and teachers, three additions have been made to the college and academic teaching force for this year. Professor Brown comes from Fisk University after years of successful teaching experience. Miss Frances Jenkins comes from the teachers' training department of the Baltimore High schools. She has enjoyed teaching languages that the country offers in normal training at the Oswego Normal and Columbia College, besides post-graduate work. Both Miss Jenkins and Mr. Brown are valuable additions to the force of the Teachers' College and will also strengthen the work of the academy. Miss Jackson, preceptress, together with Mrs. Jackson, her assistant, are doing great things, for the young women of the university, and their work is highly appreciated. There is great delight over the appearance of Miner Hall, which has been refitted from top to bottom, furnished with porcelain baths, etc. The reception by the faculty of liberal arts to the college students was a great success. A large force is now at work putting in the new steam plant compared with the Freedman's Hospital, which will beat all the buildings of the University. It will be completed early in November and is one of the greatest buildings yet made to the equipment of the University.

A Covert Attack To the Editor of The New York Age: While it is true that certain streets and communities may become a rendezvous for thugs and to become notorious to citizens and the police, it is not possible for a respectable citizen to traverse these thoroughfares without being taken for a touch and interfered with by the police. During the past week, while on his way to work, Michael Dean, a young man of good habits, called his friend, Marry Thompson, of 1539 Dean street, at 8 a.m., and while standing on the corner waiting for him and a car an officer of the 1539 precinct, Atlantic avenue and Schenectady, came along and with his night stick bruising him in such a manner that he had to be attended by a physician. While this locality is not considered the best in Brooklyn, yet there should be some discrimination shown by the police. They should be a little more careful as to whom they assault. On going to the station house and making a complaint of officer charge above the police way, saying "What business have you on Dean street?" Commissioner Bingham will be appealed to in this case and we await further developments. A CHAMPION OF FAIR PLAY. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1908 ROCHESTER, Oct. 12. - Friday evening, October 9, was a great night for the Negroes of this city. The people had two days' notice of the coming of the Hon. John C. Dancy, and the parade of the Taft and Hughes Afro-American Republican Club turned out fifty men in their new uniforms and twenty in citizens' dress. Along the line of march thousands of people applauded and complimented the marchers. The speaking took place in one of the largest halls in the city and every seat was taken. It was the largest and most enthusiastic meeting our citizens ever had. Rochester filling anvy campaign in the last twenty years. The meeting was called to order by J. F. Marshall, who presented J. W. Thompson as chairman. The following vice-presidents of the meeting were chosen: J. W. Brown, N. B. Keys, H. A. Spencer, A. L. Johnson, Major F. S. Cunningham, A. D. Taylor, T. F. Portland, Charles E. Coleman, J. F. Marshall, L. M. Scott, Oliver Grant, J. H. Maze, J. J. Turner. The secretaries were R. W. Reeler. Charles Daveport, Hennett Arnold, J. G. A. L. W. H. Steckton. Leawson Johnson, Alfred Sprague. Charles Hackett, Henry Lovely, C. H. Wilson, B. F. Holly, A. Lynch. When Mr. Dancy was presented he received an ovation. His remarks were extended and he displayed the utmost willingness to show any Negro Democrat the error of his ways. His speech was long, but the audience listened with unlagging attention. It sparkled with epigrams. Here are a few: From its initiation the Republican party has stood for the larger liberty of the individual and especially for giving to the poor on sale. Ham the rights and privileges on which he is entitled. I am a Republican. Without Republicanism I would be nothing. It gave me citizenship, the right to hold office. "That wonderful man, Abraham Lincoln, when he saw an instance of slavery, although he had been born in Kentucky, exclaimed: 'f God spares me, that institution and when I strike it I will strike it' it held, was the beginning of the Republican party. The Democratic party at that time favored the enlargement of the power of the slave oligarchy. The Civil War was between people supposedly of the one civilization, but really of two: Jamestown standing for slavery, and Plymouth Rock for liberty. Millions of men were fighting for the two clashing ideas, the Republican party stalling for liberty and the Democratic party for slavery. "When Thaddeus Stevens fought for the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution, the Democrats voted against our privilege to vote, the right which safeguards all other rights, the right preservative of all rights. I defy any political lean to truthfully say that the Negro ever used the suffrage to the advantage of the nation; he voted for some money, for a protective policy. The party claimed the Negro would be a danger to the people in politics have themselves been a more dangerous influence than the Negro. The Republican party organized the public school system and taught the Negro to read and write. We are rising with the rising tide of the nation." Mr. Dancy said the privileges taken away from the Negroes were taken in every instance by Democratic legislatures. He showed that the only Negro appointees of Democratic Presidents were three men to the one office by President Lincoln, in two terms, while President Johnson appointed fifty Negroes to positions of household duties. "Negroes are drawing upwards of $40,000,000 as a result of Presidential appointment," he said. The speaker showed that the Brownsville affair was caused by the persecution of the Negro soldiers by the local Democratic administration of the community and that President Roosevelt's only available information concerning the affair was the record of the Democratic party shows that they would not put the Negro soldiers back in the army, should that party be put in power.

A cordial invitation is extended to all. Some very good talent is in evidence at these affairs, and it is the earnest desire of the Rev. Martin that more of the young people of the race become aware of these metings. On Sunday, October 21, a harvest festival will be held, commencing at three o'clock in the afternoon. Very extensive preparations are in evidence. Many other signs are apparent that the mission at 63 West 134th street is a center of great influence in this neighborhood, where heretofore so little has been done, and where so much needs to be done. An entertainment in aid of the mission was given by the ways and means committee on Thursday evening last. A very fine program was rendered consisting of organ solo, Mr. John Smith; clarinet solo, Mr. Martin; song, "Twickenham Ferry," Mr. S. Wattley; violin selections, Mr. Stanley Harding; baritone solo, Mr. Deare; cornet solo, Mr. Martin; recitation, "Othello's Defense," Mr. Herbert I.

An address was made at the close of the meeting by the Rev. Martin, in which he thanked the committee for their earnest efforts on behalf of the work he is pledged to do. Mrs. H. H. Moogland is chairman of this committee. An Entertainment and Smoker. During the early part of the summer Mr. Oscar W. Fulcher, former president of the Young Men's Guild of St. Augustine's Church, called a meeting for the purpose of reviving interest in the guild. It being, a duly called meeting, many features were discussed. Finally it was decided to go into an election of officers-for the ensuing year. On Saturday evening, October 3, in order to bring the work of the guild more prominently before the attention of the men, to create sentiment for the uplifting, spiritually, mentally and physically among the men of Brooklyn, many were invited and present at an entertainment and smoker held in the rear of the church, under the tent when the following resolution was adopted: Appreciating as we do the value of concerted action and being actuated by the spirit, mutual assistance and cooperation, for a common good, whose signatures are hereunto subscribed, agree to revive the Young, Men's Guild of St. Augustine's Church and do what lies in our power for the benefit it may be to the church and the good it may prove to its members in mental and physical exercise or any wholesome diversion, and heartily recommend the following as officers of the revived organization; Chas. H. Lansing, guild master; Alonzo F. Chadwick, vice-guild master; Oscar W. Fulcher, scribe; Dr. Roland Johnson, assistant scribe; Chas. E. Moore, bursar; R. P. Hamlin, chairman executive committee; Wm. Russell Johnson, chairman atheletic games. When the program began Rev. Geo. F. Miller, rector, introduced Mr. Fulcher, who acted as master of ceremonies for the evening. He made a few brief remarks outlining the purpose of the gathering and began by introducing Rev. Bennett, of Wilmington, N. C., vice-president of the recent conference of church workers among colored people of the Episcopal Church whose remarks were very helpful. Many good speakers were present. R. P. Hamlin recited. Chas. H. Lansing, whose words were encouraging, extended a cordial invitation to all to join, declaring that the guild shall be non-sectarian. There were then introduced a trio of singers, Messrs, Accoe, Loring and Abbott. Their selections were very pleasing. Chas. L. Williams, editor of The Squirt Set, recited "Laska," which was very much applauded. Dr. O. M. Waller spoke. Dr. Delsarte, Mr. Bruce, and Dr. Trimble also spoke. Then Mr. N. B. Williams sang several songs, accompanied by Messrs. Fisher and Thomas, which had to be repeated several times. After the program had come to an end the caterer, Mr. Win. Gross, served refreshments to all free of charge. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Fulcher for the very excellent program. The first meeting of the guild is scheduled for the 20th of the present month. All are invited, as the books are open for enrollment. St. Mark's Lycum: The program furnished by Mr. Chase E. Williams, the popular treasurer of St. Mark's Lycme, for several years, occasioned on last Thursday night regress that more were not in attendance. Mr. John D. Jones, a student of Columbia College, made a short but good address. He said: "Our one salvation is: retain to the old faith a rejection of all compromise. There should be no compromise by religion with the conscience killing reason spirit of today." The musical part of the program was inspiring. Thursday night, October 15, Rev. P. E. Jones, LL.B, will read a paper for discussion on "Voting as a God-given Right." Lawyer L. C. Collins will open the general discussion. Manhattan N. M. G. A. Natec The opening session of the Y. M. C.

These young lay preachers did excellent work, three young men being converted in the services and several expressing a desire for a better life. Several young men came forward and were received into the membership of the association. A beautiful sight was that of a mother with her young 16-year-old son, who was received and fellowshipped into the association. A new membership committee has been appointed, and is now at work in a membership contest which closes, on December 1. Rev. Leighton Williams, pastor of Amity Baptist Church, and president of Amity Theological School, will speak on "A Progressive Personality the Hope of Civilization." All men will be cordially welcomed.

Olivet Church Monday evening. Monday evening the citizens of New York city gave a fitting testimonial to Dr. M. W. Gilbert, pastor of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, and the testimonial turned out to be a harmony meeting in more ways than one. The meeting was held in Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, and many friends and acquaintances of Dr. Gilbert were present to pay their respects. Counselor E. A. Johnson presided and in opening the meeting spoke of the great service Dr. Gilbert has rendered in public life. Rev. A. M. McGregor, assistant pastor of Dr. McArthur's church, was next introduced and dwelt on Dr. Gilbert's worth as a man and how high he is regarded by the clergy, irrespective of color. He characterized Dr. Gilbert as one modest and unassuming—a man who does things and is never guilty of going around with a "chip on his shoulder." Rev. Gordon of the Howard Orphan Asylum, followed and referred to his long and intimate acquaintance with Dr. Gilbert. The speaker said it was a great pleasure for him to be able to attend the meeting and pay respects to one who believes in race co-operation, as did himself. Among the speakers were Rev. J. C. Love, of Mt. Chaire, N. J.; Rev. D. W. Wisher, a former pastor, and Fred. R. Moore, Miss Annie Wisher sang a solo. When Dr. Gilbert was introduced he was heartily applauded. In his talk to those present he spoke with feeling of his work and the loyalty of the people. He told of his determination to always stand for the right and condemn the wrong. He told his hearers that Mt. Oliver Church was harmonious, and that the uncle would have no place in the house of the Lord. He also said that the people composing the membership of the church were strong in their support of him and that he was no compromiser. Among those who were instrumental in making the meeting a success was Mr. J. B. Wood. Next Sunday morning Dr. Gilbert will preach on "Tatriotism." The sermon promises to be an interesting one.

"An nation our duty compels that by every constitutional and reasonable means the material and educational condition of the colored race be advanced. This we owe to ourselves as well as to them. As the result of a course of events that can never be reversed, they are a part of our civilization; their prosperity in our prosperity their dehumanization will be our misfortune. The Republican party, therefore, will offer every encouragement to the thrift, industry and intelligence that will better their prosperity of higher attainment."—James S. Sherman in Speech of Acceptance. ANARCHY IN THE SOUTH. The one encouraging feature of the situation in the South is the crystallizing of sentiment against mob law. Tragedies, dastardly and depressing, have been perpetrated against the blacks. An increasing race prejudice and jealousy have had unbridled sway. The patient and progressive Negro in the afflicted communities has either had to protect himself and lose his life or flee. Many Negroes have been lashed to resentment and they too have committed and plotted crime. Crime against the blacks has begotten crime. As a consequence, a reign of night-rider bloodshed and destruction exists in many sections of the South. Conditions of the recent past continuing long, the entire Southland will again be in the helpless throes of anarchy. The South has become alarmed. The press is outspoken in its condemnation, and leading citizens are rising up to denounce mob law. But these sporadic and isolated efforts we believe cannot forestall this return to general lawlessness. There must be a vigorous and concerted movement at reform. The situation calls for heroic treatment. The constituted authorities from Governor down should get together on this section-wide impending danger. All good citizens, black and white, should co-operate in suppressing crime. A vigorous campaign of education in respect for law and order should be waged among all classes and in all places. If the Christian people of the South can suppress this threatened return to the violence and poverty of reconstruction days, they must act, act together and act now. They owe it to the fair name of America, to the defencless Negro race and the future industry of the South. THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT AGAIN. The American Missionary; one of the leading publications of the Congregational Church in America, and the one that deals especially with matters touching the educational interests of the Negro, has heretofore had some favorable comment to make on the Niagara Movement—not wholly endorsing it, but from time to time making an excuse for some of its more moderate features. But the wild-cyed, suicidal stand of these "intellectual" Negroes at Oberlin for the Democratic party is more than this fair and philanthropic magazine can stand. Commenting on the Niagara Movement's advice to bolt the Republican party, the Missionary says: It certainly does not matter the hopeful and the Negroes but the pernicious fraction. Indeed, a more ill-advised document would scarcely have been possible. If education were the priority and achievement will not secure the American Negro the justice and the rights that belong to him—for which we currently plead—then no much threats will hasten the elimination. The Missionary is not only correct in its estimate of the character of the "movement," but wise in not despairing of Negro intelligence. The pessimistic folly of these senseless radicals does not reflect the sentiment of Negro brains. Neither have they a considerable following, political or otherwise. The Negro knows that his friends, including the American Missionary; the Negro knows that his hopes are all at present in the Republican party. COURIRER CALLS THEM COWARDS. Among many other editorials in leading white Southern papers, denouncing the pagan destruction by night-riders of Negro churches and school houses in Southern Georgia, we are quoting the following from the Charleston News and Courier: WHITE COWARDS IN GEORGIA. "The most humiliating thing in connection with the burning of schoolhouses and churches of Negroes in Southwest Georgia is that it exposes a considerable number of white men not only as felons, but as cowards. Arson is the crime that distinguishes the timorous and sneaking scoundrel. It is a crime to be expected from a weak and ignorant race that fears to assert itself, rather than from men who boast themselves. Amado-Saxons. "To many communities a strong pre- EXTRACT FROM TAFT'S SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE JULY 28, 1908. THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM, ADOPTED AT CHICAGO, EXPLICITLY Demands JUSTICE FOR ALL MEN WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE OR COLOR, AND JUST AS EXPLICITLY DECLARES FOR THE ENFORCEMENT, AND WITHOUT RESERVATION, IN LETTER AND SPIRIT OF THE THIRTEENTH, FOURTEENTH AND FIFTEENTH AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION, IT IS NEEDLESS TO STATE THAT I STAND WITH MY PARTY SQUARELY ON THAT PLANK IN THE PLATFORM, AND BELIEVE THAT EQUAL JUSTICE TO ALL MEN, AND THE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL ENFORCEMENT OF THESE AMENDMENTS IS IN KEEPING WITH THE REAL AMERICAN SPIRIT OF FAIR PLAY. judice exists against, Negro school teachers and preachers, and it is not to be disputed that in exceptional cases the Negro educators are dangerous and unscrupulous agitators. Sometimes they poison the minds of their illiterate followers and 'stir the baser passions in them until a menacing condition is produced, but this affords no excuse for white men to band themselves together and go about under the cloak of darkness to burn houses. "A lynching, even when there is no shadow of extuse for it, and that is nearly always the case, has at least some of the characteristics of a bold and daring act. It is a defiance of the law, and in the very notion of 'defiance' there lingers something attractive. Brute courage is better than an absence of courage. When the lynchers set out to capture and kill they incur some risk. The intended victim in his desperation may possibly kill one of the band, but men who steal through the darkness to fire school houses and churches confess to a cowardice that one is loath to believe can characterize the white men of any Southern community. KIND TREATMENT WAS EXCEPTIONAL In a Boston Transcript Review, Col. T. W. Higginson, of the 55th Massachusetts Negro regiment in the Civil War, pitiless pulls to pieces George Cary Eggleston's new book, "Two Gentlemen of Virginia." With many hard facts, the grand old Puritan crushes the assertions of the Southern author that the treatment of the slaves was generally kind and that their lot, especially their loygiene, was better then now. The colonel cites such direct evidence as that of Mrs. Kemble, who, in her Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation in 1838-9, tells that out of 47 children horn to nine slave mothers, 29 died in their childhood. The colorful rightfully concludes that the "slave's kindly treatment by their masters was exceptional." The fact of the Negro's rise along all lines is too plain and too exact to admit of argument even by purblind Southerners. Despite the attempts of George Cary Eggleston and Thomas Dixon to justify Negro oppression and to spread Negrophia; despite night riders and Democratic disfranchisement; despite them all the Negro is plodding ever upward in his progress. MANLY STAND AGAINST "JIM CROW" OUTRAGES. From personal experience, we endorse the timely and courageous stand taken against the abominable "Jim Crow" cars by the Negro bishops in Georgia and by the thrifty Negro citizens in Arkansas. Before the Interstate Commerce Commission at Atlanta, Bishops Gaines, Smith and Turner placed their evidence of the wretched Negro car accommodations. Before the Arkansas Railroad Commission many of that State's leading Negroes led by Dr. G. W. Hayman and Land Receiver J. E. Bush specified their grievances. Among the indecent inequalities in the accommodations for Negro passengers, they say, their car is only one end of the poorly partitioned white smoking car and that it has no separate toilet arrangements for the sexes. They must now secure direct decisions on their plea for justice and decency. We can not but think that these many complaints against the outrageous "Tim Crow" cars will be heard. LET RIGHT JUDGES BE APPOINTED. The relief of the Negro from the galling "Jim Crow" cars and the gross injustice of disfranchisement in the Southland will come at the hands of the law. The mandates of the law being enforced by all the authority of government, the supremacy of the law will be the great bulwark of Negro rights. During the next administration four justices of the Supreme Court and several other Federal judges will be appointed by the President. That these judges believe in Negro rights and privileges is absolutely necessary to the future Negro citizenship of this country. Taft must appoint such judges, if he fulfills his flat promises of Negro protection, if he would complete the work begun by his abolition father. To this end, we shall consider it the first duty --- THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1908. of. leading and influential. Negroes to prevail upon President Taft. Bryan, as President could not appoint such judges, backed as he is by the solid South and believing, as he has often declared, in States rights. That the firm and just protection of impartial law may be thrown around the Negro, let the Negro help elect Judge Taft. NORTH CAROLINA 100.0 Strange news this about the old North State going for Taft. Two of the powerful Democrats of North Carolina, Messrs. D. A. Thompkins, owner of the Charlotte News and Observer, and Guy J. Buell, president of the Montgomery Lumber Company, have come out for the Republicans. The former says "with the majority of the Manufacturers' Association of Charlotte, I view the candidacy of Bryan with a candid alarm and I will vote for Taft." BLACK: MAX ROUND OUT Bryan says the National Democratic platform is binding upon him in what it omits as well as in what it contains. The Negro is omitted entirely from consideration in that platform. Since that time the great commoner has lived up faithfully to that omission of the D- O $ ^{2} $ P. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS Plenty of people are willing to tell you all about it after it is over. William Howard Tait will have every unbought Negro vote in the land. That will let very few of them out. Speaker Cannon says Bryan is a "job." A lot of other people—some of them Democrats—say he is a "Jouah." If, on the morning of November 4, any miscreant in human form says "I told you so" it will be no sin to shoot him on the spot. Col. Stewart is not a Negro who relishes the administration of another chance to inject the race problem into the campaign. The Negro journals of the country who are not for Tait can be counted with the fingers on one hand—with several fingers to spare. The cat evidently has Mr. Bryan's tongue on the subject of the citizenship of the Negro, although he is voluble enough on all other topics If the Democratic party could have its way, it be remembered, the four Negro regiments would be mustered out of the army, root and branch. A new colored drug store is about to be opened at Kansas City, Kan. Score another shot for the constructive influence of the National Negro Business League. Local business leagues to be effective must work the year around. The election of delegates to the national convention is the smallest portion of their responsibility. If you would have Taft for President let not his hands be tied by a Democratic House of Representatives. See that a big round vote is given the candidate for Congress in your district. Word comes from Omaha that Nebraska Negroes are solid for Taft. They are too intelligent and have too many business interests at stake to take any risks with Bryan's populistic vagaries. Dr. Henry W. Furniss, of Indiana, draws $10,000 in salary from the gov't. He goes to the Minister to Haiti. The Negro voters of Indiana will not vote to retire a party that has so signally honored their favorite son. The Negro has plenty of work when the Republican party is in power; it is the soup hourt and want for him when the Democrats hold the reins of Government. Vote for Taft and prosperity. They are running mates this year. If it be argued that the Republican party has been unable to protect the Negro in the enjoyment of his constitutional rights, may we ask, "Against whom has the Republican party been unable to protect the black man in such enjoyment?" The so-called "race leader" who tells you that he "has just come from a two-hours' conference with the national chairman" means that he waited one hour and fifty minutes to speak his little piece in the remaining ten minutes. Those who would come the influence of Booker T. Washington could get a few pointers by going into ex- executive session with one Mrs. Partington, who is said to have attempted to sweep back the tide of the Atlantic with a house broom. "Gov. Noel admits that the people do not rule in Mississippi. Says he: "Mississippi is governed by the white man, although the majority of the population is composed of Negroes. The Negro cuts no figure in our politics." By his silence Mr. Bryan endorses this condition of things. The ratification of the disfranchising amendment in Georgia the other day shows that the Democratic party thinks of the citizenship of the black man. They will have none of him, and make no bones saying so whenever the opportunity prefigures itself. If Bishop Walters, Brother Waldron and Brother Corrothers will show us wherein the election of Mr. Bryan will repeal any of the laws restricting the civil and political rights of the Negroes in the South, we shall be willing to urge Negro men to vote for him. Kansas will not forget that one of their dark-skinned sons has been so elevated in station that his name is necessary to validate the paper currency and the million-dollar bonds, of the greatest nation on earth. Let us remember the things that count. The Democratic party cannot blow hot in Iridiana and blow cold in Georgia and "get by" with such double-faced tactics. A snake that exudes poison in Alabama does not change to purity by change of environment. Do not be deceived by the soft-soap and sophistry by the smooth-tongued special pleaders of Democracy. There is no organized opposition to Judge Taft among the two-million voters in his country. The noise of the single-headed and one-membered political leagues? we hear so often and so negatively, is but the croaking of one disgruntled frog in a hundred-acre swamp full of fat and contented ones. Gov. Hughes is a positive asset to the Republican party of the nation. He stands for the reforms for which every decent American citizen stands. No man who loves his home and his family or who values civil righteousness in practical, everyday life, can afford to be a governor of society and law. Charles E. Hughes should and will be re-elected Governor of the Empire State. The New Orleans States, a typical journal of the Louisiana bourbons, says: "The States said years ago, the first and most important stey toward a solution of the Negro problem should be the withdrawal of the right of suffrage to the Negroes by abrogating the 14th Amendment to the Federal Constitution." Can any state, including Washington of the party that openly preaches such treasurable doctrine? We wonder if Mr. Bryan has paused long enough in his mad career to read Mr. Taft's Cincinnati speech, touching the evil of mob violence, condemning incendiarie utterances of Southerners calculated to incite lynchings and burnings, and enduring the higher as well as industrial education for the race? If Mr. Bryan has taken note of this many deliverance, he has not had the courage to say so. How about it, Mr. Bryan? The racket about separate schools brought out by the strike, tere of white students at Spokan, Kansas, another evidence that race predispose schools, separate cars, separate waiting rooms, and separate everything simply means a duplication of equipment and two fold expense, without a doubling of benefits or profits to anyone concerned. Yes, race prejudice is a costly indulgence, and nobody but little Americans care for the luxury. Gen Andrew S. Burt, who at one time supported the 12th Infantry, is an ardent supporter of Judge Taft, and says: "The West is afame for Taft and the Roosevelt policies." He says the Negro voters should rally as one man to the support of this great humanitarian. The Negroes who bore arms with Gen Burt believe in his humanity and will-based judgment. All friends of the gallant 12th can take this tip from the veteran commander. If Mr. Bryan should announce that he has any notion of trying to live up to the Constitution of the United States, as far as the 15th Amendment is concerned, he might as-well retire from the Presidential contest at once. The "Solid South" would repudiate time, and he would not have a "lookin' for" the House with regard to the States that return Democratic majorities by trampling ruthlessly upon the necks of their Negro citizens. Mr. Bryan and the Constitution do not speak as they pass by. The Christian Recorder, the voice of 500,000 members of the African Methodist Episcopal-Church, advises the denomination to vote as a unit for Tait. This is the church which the Imented Daniel A. Payne, Alexander W. Wayman and Jaher P. Campbell built up amid the terrors of slavery, and opression to spread the light to a people beneath a cloud. It is the church for which Bishops Grant, Gaines and Derrick speak to day-to-day, payne, Wayman and Campbell safely follow the Grants, Gaines, Derricks and Johnson of this generation? THE AGE thinks so; knows so. Another echo of the practical workings of the National Negro Business League may be found in the development of the Arkansas Mutual Aid Association, which was recently organized at Little Rock, Ark. but has been in existence for the last century and the hustling capacity and wide reputation for reliability of its manager, Chester E. Bush, who is also editor of the Mosaic Guide. The other officers of the Arkansas Mutual-Aid Association are: J. E. Bush-president; Dr. C. W. Wade, first vice-president; Dr. A. G. Wade, second vice-president; A. G. Gray, secretary; J. E. Rector, treasurer; Scipio A. Jones, attorney; J. G. Thornton, medical reference; J. T. W. Warren, adjuster. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY On the Negro question Judge Taft is orthodox and is all that any well-thinking colored man can expect. His recent utterances in this respect coupled with past record, make him a suitable candidate for us to vote for President. —Savannah Tribune. The Democratic South has already disfranchised the Afro-American. Now many prominent Democrats 'in the North as well as in the South favor the repeal of the fifteenth amendment.—Owensboro (Ky.) Reporter. Tillman's insistence upon taking the stump for Bryan will undo all the "fine work" Messrs. Farnsworth and Taggart bring "do to" saving the Negro vote of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kansas in line for the Democracy. Even the copper-lined stomachs of the Negro Democrats refuse to stand for the "Pitchfork statesman."—Cleveland Journal. Judge Taft's straightforward defence of the Negro and vehement denunciation of lynching and other outrages perpetrated against the black man on account of his color has taken all the run out of the folks who have been outraged by Judge's alleged indifference toward our people - Austin (Tex.) Watchman. The Niagara movement is another lost cause, as I see it. Du Bois, oh, Du Bois! how art the mighty falter! Those crimes which thou charget were committed by Roosevelt at Brownsville, and Hitchcock at Chicago, are not to be questioned in a civil criminal of Democracy, which now hath thy support. Stop, consider. Stop before thou dohm harm - Dallas Express. What has the Democratic party ever done for the Negro? Nothing but to sell him like a farmer sells a mule, and to rob him of all the rights which came with his freedom. And yet some intelligent Negroes are licking the feet of the party which were trapped on a treacherous foot, and could trample us yet but for the Republican party which stands ready to stay the Democratic hand—Kansas City (Mo) National Mirror. The Republican ticket gives one a feeling of coercion from the knowledge that its candidates are all good, broad-minded, liberal staunch men and women. They are Republicans who represent the highest principles of the Republican party, and those principles shape the destiny of the American people. But the feeling of case and confidence in them is not work less, but it compels him to work more for the success of that whole ticket—Colorado Statesman. Secretary Taft's visit to our State this week made him many friends and won for him many votes which were in line for Mr. Bryan. His speech in our city was full of that logic and soundness which characterize his utterances on great public questions. And they indicate what we have so persistently, emphasized, the wisdom the nation will show by placing him in the White House. Mr. Taft is a great man and a stateman - Omana Enterprise. --- The political salvation of the West Virginia Negro does not lie with Mr. Bryan nor Mr. Bryan's party. We have before us daily a reminder of what to expect in case Mr. Bryan party wins in this State. We could not, if we were to be honest, admit that Mr. Bryne, the author of the anti-Negro planks, has been rewarded by the National Democratic committee for his instrumental efforts to stir up strife between the races where before all was peace and harmony. We are not included to jeopardize our constitutional rights by granting personal grievances, for the wisdom of cutting off one's nose to spite his face does not appear—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. The towering greatness of Hon. W. H. Taft over the infinitudinal smallness of Mr. W. J. Bryan becomes more evident and conspicuous as the campaign glides to the inevitable conclusion. The masterly efforts of the Republican candidate, when contrasted with the illusionary and iridescent dreams of the impracticalists without further entreaten, that Mr. Bryan with his demagogic utterances, in full view of his past efforts to gain the judicial and even-minded W. H. Tait, who advocates and stands in bold relief for the principles of the government support of the constitution which is the organic law of the land—New Orleans Southern Age. Let the Negro voter steadily prepare himself to meet the requirements of the franchise no matter how rigid they are. If he is required to read and write, let him learn that; if to read and explain the constitution, learn that; if to explain the constitution, learn that; if to pay poll tax, pay that. There is nothing that should prevent him permanently from the exercise of the franchise* privilege. The man who deals carelessly with his voting franchise does not demonstrate ability to enjoy the blessings of civilization; the ballot is the greatest weapon in the opportunity to win great victories possess with the permanent loss of the franchise - Nashville Clarion. There is no question but that many colored men were sincerely in this opposition but since Mr. Taft in his frank and convincing way has put himself squarely on record as to his friendship awarding the Republican the constitutional amendments this opposition has crumbled into insignificance and the leaders everywhere are now urging the rank and file to vote next month for the Republican nominees. Of course there are a few irrelevant candidates who are weighed centrally in the November there will be a corporal's guard of them willing to enter the door of hope which the Democratic party is reluctantly forcing open for them—Louisville American Baptist: [ ] There may be agencies and frequent form of high standing in the Republican party that have in the past deviated from these principles, have done wrong, but remember, voters, that in dividuals do not represent the party, and men will pass away but principles, if based upon justice will live, forever. Thus it is we as citizens and voters should hold to the principles rather than to the principles of the publican party has always been for the common people, and the colored people, and the Democratic party has always been against the colored man and the common masses of the laboring people. For me give me the grand old party and give me something better, but not the Democratic party; no, never.—Iowa State Bystander. The colored voters of the country are warned to be on the lookout for Democratic duplicity. It is a fact that the few representative colored men who were influenced to declare for Bryan, were promised several thousand dollars, were promised several offices held by colored men who now occupy them. One or two men who have received from local Democrats in the city a few dollars, amounting to about two hundred: The money has beet bagged by one individual, and he declares to the other that he has not received any money, that these colored Shylocks are after the filthy luce to put into their own pockets. Thus far, these men have received all promises; which have about destroyed their so-called Democratic organization. The so-called anti-Taft organization in this city consists of about one dozen men and no more—Washington Bee. Burning Churches and Schools What is there worse in Russia than can be, found in this country? On the Kentucky-Tennessee border, near Jellico, a crowd of drunken young men, armed, of course, waited till a church service was, through and insulted one of the young women of the congregation. When separated with the began shooting, killed three men, two of them deceases of the church, and wounded another man and the pastor, as he stood in the door of the church and was begging them to stop shooting. They are said to be men of good families, and they may get caught and punished, but it is doubtful. Another more vicious, if not equally fatal case, is that in southwestern Georgia, where masked night-riders had lots of fun at Sunday night, burned every Negro church and schoolhouse, and left threats of further injury. One church and school are particularly mentioned as belonging to the most progressive Negroes in that section. These institutions represent the modest and self-sacrificous efforts of these people to serve God and elevate themselves. These twenty buildings burned include their parish schools, established to supplement the education of Georgia to provide their children with a school education. It is said in explanation of this raid that a white woman had been attacked by a Negro; but that Negro had been faithfully lynched. It is also said that these Negroes had sold some of their cotton, instead of holding it for an advance—a deadly offense. It is also said that in their churches and lodge rooms they form plans and plots to fortune that the Negroes did not know that their churches and schoolhouses were to be attacked, for in that case they might have been present to defend them; and in that case a race war would have been reported, and soldiers sent to arrest the Negroes, deprive them of their arms and send them to the chain gang, which has a few months more of grace, or disgrace, to run. Who the night riders are will he be, but "the outrage is condemned by good citizens." We are told that many Negroes are dying. Strange? No work Independent. Tuakekcc. The Tuskegee Institute, at the head of which is Dr. Booker T. Washington, is in some regards a national institution, as is shown by the facts set forth in its annual report, which has just reached us. On the Board of Trustees Mr. Seth Low is president, with five other members from this State. There are two members from Massachusetts, one each from Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, and eight from Alabama. Among the 1,622 pupils in the past year of the eight-year State and twenty-one foreign countries. Because the institute has for its main purpose, which it pursues with rare energy, intelligence, and patience, the teaching of teachers in the broadest sense, and because it teaches and trains chiefly in industry, its influence is wide and, lasting it is reinforced by the numerous well-known teachers and energized in the institute—the farmers', institute, the farm demonstration work in Mississippi and Texas in co-operation with the United States Government and the General Education Board, the night schools in town and country, and the National Negro Business League. Wherever a student of Tuskegee goes, even though he has been educated in the State, he is almost certain to become a leader and an exemplar to his people and to apply the principles that have been instilled in his mind there. The institute is economically managed. Of that there is the best evidence. It makes good use of any money it can command, aid, naturally, the more it gets; the more it can do with it.—New York Times FAIR TO BE HELD IN AUGUSTA. Avocations, October 14—Arrangements are being completed to hold a Negro fair in Augusta, November 12 and 13, at the Georgia-Carolina grounds. The stockholders of the Negro Fair Association held an enthusiastic meeting. The charter for the organization granted by Judge Hammond was accepted, a constitution adopted and officers were elected. Following are the officers: Rev. C. T. Walker, D. D., president; Prof. J. W. Gilbert and Prof. P. H. Craig, vice-presidents; S. X. Floyd, D. D., secretary; H. C. Young, treasurer; Simon W. McTyre, director-general; Board of directors, Rev. G. W. Harrison, I. S. Sweet, M. S. Selkirk, G. N. X. James Page, R. R. Allen, Prof. I. E. White, I. E. Mosely, John F. Dugas, Charles J. Floyd, Rev. J. W. Whitehead and W. J. White, D. D. In the election last week the Georgia Democrats, who were born to do the wrong thing at the right time, adopted the disfranchising scheme for which Hoke Smith fought and Clark Howell died. And Prof. Du Bois, of Atlanta, wrapped in the dreamful moonings of "The Souls of Black Folk," is still fighting for Democratic victory in November! There is no way of ascertaining why a mule-thinks one way and kicks another, except that he is the offspring of a horse and an ass. "Be sure you are right, and then go ahead," is as true now as when first axiomated. "Tell it, not in Gath; it not in the streets of Askelon!" When Bishop Walters and some New York rooters called at the Democratic headquarters, in the Hoffman House, one day last week, what did the Southern High Func say which made the rooters fly the hostelry, leaving the Bishop alone to climb on top of the insult! Not what the Governor of North Carolina said to the Governor of South Carolina, if what Tellus whispered to Irene in the bearing of Pan is to be believed. The West Virginia Democrat, in their platform to be voted on in November, say: "We favor the enactment of a law requiring common carriers engaged in passenger traffic to furnish separate coaches or compartment for white and colored passengers." The same platform declares for the enactment of a disfranchising law. The Democratic party, like Janus, has two faces, but it keeps both of them turned to the dead past. 6 William Jennings Bryan said, in his Cooper Union speech, in April, 1908: "The white men in the South will not allow a few men to use the solid black vote to further their own financial and political interests. The white men of the South are determined that the Negro will and shall be disfranchised everywhere it is necessary to prevent the recurrence of the horrors of carpet-bag rule." Verily, whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Carpet-bag rule has been dead thirty-two years. The Republican protective tariff is the surest safeguard for the maintenance of the highest and best manufacturing productivity of the Republic. In 1905 our cotton mills consumed 3,743,089 bales, and paid in wages $94,377,696. The value of cotton goods exported, in 1906, was $53,000,000. The export of raw cotton was close to 7,000,000 bales. When the demand for raw cotton, for some consumption or export, is great the cotton growers of the South, whether as employer or wage-carner, smile and make merry. The Republican protective tariff policy has accomplished the industrial and commercial preeminence of the United States, at home and abroad. --- In the Government printing office, at Washington, there are employed, in the classified and unclassified service, 552 Afro-Americans, who receive annually an aggregate of $760,180.20. In the Federal postal service there are 2,925 Afro-Americans employed, who receive annually $2,928,424. There are $20 postmasters in this list. Think of that! The total number of Afro-Americans employed in the Federal service is 14,000, with aggregate salaries of $8,000,000. The number of employees has doubled in the last four years of President Roosevelt's administration and salaries increased from $3,000,000, in 1904, to $8,000,000, in 1908. The success of the Democratic party would imperil the continuance in office of every one of these people. If the Afro-Americans vote to keep what they have a great deal more will be added unto them in the coming four years. "To him that hath more shall be given; to him that hath not shall be taken away even that he hath." Secretary Taft said, in his Fisk University address: "The colored race owes allegiance to the same flag and lives in the same country, and the United States must use all of its resources to aid in the development of the race." ```markdown ``` Oberlin Opens 79th Year.

RESIGNS FROM U.S. LAND OFFICE Ground Broken for Colored Y. M. C. A. Building to Cost $100.000 —Other Washington Notes WASHINGTON, D. C., October 14. Word comes that H. H. Myers, Register of the United States Land Office at Little Rock, Ark., has resigned, to take effect at once. A strong effort is being made to have Mr. Scipio A. Jones, a prominent colored lawyer of Little Rock, appointed as his successor. Leading Negroes throughout the country are endorsing Mr. Jones. He has practiced before the Supreme Court of the United States and is regarded as one of the foremost Negro lawyers in the Southwest. He was one of the "original Taft men" and was an alternate delegate to the Chicago convention in June. A colored pressman has been appointed in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the first to be assigned to that office within its history. He was appointed through the Civil Service Commission, and is said to have sustained himself well in his examination. Ground has been broken for the new $100,000 home for the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. Following religious ceremonies last Monday morning, President E. J. Morton and Secretary L. E. Johnson, of the local association, took their turn at the plow and the work was formally begun. The general contract for the building was awarded to S. L. Marshall, a white man, but the major portion of the work, will, by special arrangement, be done by colored men. The successful bidder was but 5,000 under S. H. Bolling, of the firm of Bolling & Everett, of Lynchburg, Va, who erected the beautiful Negro building at the Jamestown Exposition. Mr. Bolling, however, secured the contract for the brick work at a neat figure. The new structure is to be fire-proof. It will be four stories high with a basement and will be 63 by 155 feet. An assembly hall, reading room, library, swimming pool, bowling alley, athletic rooms and dormitories are among the features provided in the plans. Secretary Johnson announces that the big meetings of the Association will start on October 11. Dr. W. P. Thirkield, president of Howard University, will be the speaker. The Howard University Orchestra will play and the new Y. M. C. A. glee club will sing. In order not to delay the installation of the heating plant that is to heat Howard University and Freedmen's Hospital, the Comptroller of the Treasury has corrected a technical omission in the appropriation agi and authorized the purchase of radiators. The heating plant is to cost $17,000 and will furnish ample heat for all the buildings on the Howard University campus, including the hospital. The election of Dr. Alexander Mann, pastor of Trinity P. E. Church, Boston, as Bishop of Washington, gives satisfaction. He is known as a man of exceptionally broad views on all questions. Hailing from Boston, he is presumed to be sound on the race issue, which is bound to be taken into consideration here where there is a Negro population of 100,000. The eight Negro delegates want to Dr. Mann in a body after Dr McKim withdrew from the contest, and all are pleased with the result. The Negro delegates were led by Rev. Thos I. Brown, rector of St. Luke's P. E. Church. The other elegymmen were: Revs. A. W. Collier, J. C. Van Loo, W. V. Tunnell, O. L. Mitchell and F. I. A. Bennett; the lay delegates were Dr. J. C. Norwood and J. O. Bampfield. A committee representing the colored parishes will pay their respects to the new bishop at the first available opportunity after his acceptance is announced. Architect W. Sidney Pittman is pushing the work on the new 12-room school at Garfield. Mr. Pittman's contract calls for a $90,000 building, and it is a beauty. Travis Ross, who has been the faithful and trusted messenger of seventeen Postmaster-Generals from D. M. Key to George von L. Meyer, died a few days ago and his funeral took place. Thursday at the Plymouth Congregational Church. Mr. Ross was a native of Louisville, Ky., having been born there in 1845. During the Civil War he was body servant to both Colonel Roberts and General William Tecumshier Sherman. He served four years as a steward at sea, and from 1872 to 1873 eh was attached to the United States steamship Constellation. He began in the departments as a messenger in 1877 and rose to chief attendant to the Postmaster-General at a salary of $1,000 per annum. He was the best known messenger in the departmental service. Mr. Lewis W. Holloway, of Richmond, Va., has returned home after a profitable business trip here. Miss Lewis W. Lewis of Atlanta, Ga., connected with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is making her home with Mr. and Mrs. J. A Lankford, 1210 V street. Dr. W. W. Peebles has returned to Omaha, Neb., his present home. He was called here by the death of his father. Dr. Pindar, M. Flack, of Louisville, Ky., attending the Tuberculosis Congress here by Governor A. E. Wilson, of Kentucky, was tendered a delightful "stag" Wednesday evening by Dr. U. G. Daniels, of 224 street. Dr Flack remains in this section to attend the National Council of the Good Samaritans at Baltimore the latter part of the week. Mrs. Mary E. Washington, national grand secretary of the Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samaria, will spend a few days in the city, following the Grand Council at Baltimore. She will be the guest of Mr. and R. W. Thompson, 1348 Wallach Place. Mrs. Washington is the first and only woman to hold a national office in this great order. She is a speaker and organizer of unusual talent. On recommendation of the health officer of the District, the corporation counsel will at once take action to abandon the old Hilladale Cemetery for further burial purposes. The cemetery has been used as a burying ground by colored people for many years, and it is said that more than 600 bodies are interred therein. Mrs. D. D. Kenney and son, Berne, have been visiting relatives and friends in Chicago, having spent six weeks there. The Mott School for colored pupila is up to the second floor and will be an imposing structure when completed. Miss Janie B. Smith, of Richmond, Va., has been spending a few days with her uncle, Mr. James W. Jones. Mr. Richard Childs attended the funeral of his father-in-law in Richmond, Va., last week. W. B. Anderson, of Portsmouth, Va., and Julian Jackson, of Richmond, came up last week to enter Howard University. Voters of the various States are having rallies every night at the Interstate headquarters, on 15th street, opposite the Treasury. The District Commissioners have approved the recommendation of Prof. George William Cook, superintendent of the Industrial Home School for Colored Children, that fender M. Lewis be appointed laudress, vice Olivia Price, resigned, and that Mary J. Proctor be appointed caretaker, vice Mary J. Clifford, resigned. AMONG BROOKLYN CHURCHES Methany Baptist. The recital and dedication services for the newly-installed organ in the Bethany Baptist Church last week was an interesting affair. This church has had many struggles since the death of its beloved pastor, the Rev. J. F. Blair, A. M., D. D., ten months ago. The call and acceptance of the Rev. Holland Powell, D. D., of Lynchburg, Va, a few months ago, infused new life and vigor into the membership and nipped in the bud the sprouting of the warring factions. Rev. Powell is an able preacher, qualified in heart, head and experience, and is succeeding admirably in his new field. Prominent among the ministers at this special service were the Rev. Granville Hunt, Rev. H. B. Gault, Rev's. W. R. Lawton and J. C. Brown; public spirited citizens, John H. Smith, Hon. W. M. Calder, F. G. Smith, Hons. Eugene Travers, G. E. Waldo, and Grapple Smith, who operated the new organ. The personnel of the church choir is made up of Mine: Lucy Mayhew, Mrs. J. Armstead, Mrs. M. E. Talb, Mrs. E. Long, Mrs. M. Byrd, Miss M. Smith, Miss E. Voder, Mrs. E. Murphy, Mrs. S. A. Cramley, Messrs. Chas. Coombs, C. Ray, G. Tucker, J. W. Patterson and Peyton Harrison. The collection at this service was $150. Bridge Street A. M. E. Church. The past week was a busy one for Dr. A. R. Cooper and members of this famous church. It was the week of the second quarterly conference for the present conference year, and Dr. Cooper was especially desirous of having all things in order against the coming of Presiding Elder Dr. H. H. Pinckney on Friday evening, who conducted an intering meeting. Reports of the church and Sunday School were rendered; $1,200 from the church and $108 from the school were the financial results of the quarter Quarterly meeting was continued throughout the day Sunday. Presiding Elder Pinckney paired two sermons. Holy Communion was administered to a large number of communicants at 3 p.m. Concord Baptist. At the Concord Baptist Church Sunday morning Dr. W. T. Dixon preached a most helpful seton on the 'Power of God' to a large congregation. Active preparations are being made by the church for the celebration next Sunday of the forty fifth anniversary of the titular of Dr Dixon. The Sunday School assembled at 2:30 in the afternoon, Superintendent N. Barnett Dodson presiding. Three hundred scholars were present, and five new scholars joined. The Young People's Union of the church will give a parlor recital at 199 Carlton avenue on the 22d inst. in aid of the Sunday School piano fund. Fleet Street M. E. Zion. Interesting services were held at the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church, Dr. K. M. Jacobs continues to preach practical sermons to his people with a little politics mixed in now and then, which seems to make good sailing for the minister and lively interest for the congregation The Sunday School and Christian Endeavor are doing a good work. The attendance is on the increase and much personal good is being accomplished. One of the most active persons in all departments of the church is Mrs. M. E. J. Parker, whose influence is felt in a helpful way. Mr. George Barnet, of the Sunday School, and Mr. George Mattocks, of the Christian Endeavor, vie with each other in making their special work a success. Newark News Among the colored Methodist churches in our city the honor of holding first place as to popularity and progressiveness must be divided between St. John's A. M. E. Church, Union street, Rev. R. Storer S. Jolly pastor, and St. James A. M. E. Church, Union street, Rev. R. French Hurley, pastor.

GOSCHMAN, 30 Wood Street Music and the Stage WRITTED BY LESTER A. WALTON ```markdown ``` LEGTER A. WALTON TROUBLE IN THE BOX OFFICE "The Smart Set management took advantage of the colored citizens who attended the play last Monday, it is stated by many. On the lower floor it is said the whites were only charged seventy-five cents for their tickets, while in the balcony for several rows the colored people had to pay $1. This is in agreement with blood people, or the privileges of going in the balcony and some of them take pleasure in being thus fleeced. It is better to stay away."—Savannah (Ga.) Tribune. From time to time one hears a murmur of discontent from some theatregoer who sets up the charge that quite often the colored patrons are made pay more money to see a colored show than the whites; that more money is demanded for balcony seats than those on the first floor. Now comes the Savannah Tribune and in an editorial, which we publish above, advises the colored citizens of Savannah to stay from colored shows if it is true that the whites can get seats on the first floor for a sum less than is charged the colored people for seats in the balcony. It must be admitted that oftimes discrimination is shown when a colored show comes to town, and that the colored patron is frequently charged more for an inferior seat, at least as much, as is the white person who gets a seat on the first floor. However, we disagree with the Savannah Tribune that the colored people should remain away from colored shows. There is a remedy for this piece of imposition. The writer believes the public can get its just deserts without resorting to radical methods. To inaugurate a strike against colored shows would surely not be considered the proper thing to do by the conservative colored citizens of Savannah or any other city. There are usually two people to be blamed for colored patrons often paying an unusual price for balcony seats—the manager of the theatre and the manager of the show. These two, as a rule, get together on the scale of prices, and if you are compelled to pay $1 for a balcony seat and you hear of the lower floor seats being sold for a similar amount or less, remember it is generally the work of the two managers. Quite often are the leading comedians of the colored shows accused of knowing that discrimination is being made against, colored theatre-goers. This is, however, absolutely untrue. They usually know the regular prices of the theatre, but it is seldom, if ever, they are informed that the colored contingent is paying an exorbitant price for seats. Then, again, it is not always such. There are only specific instances where discrimination is shown, but there should be no difference made at any time. Why should a colored person pay more for a seat in the balcony to see a colored show than a white person pays for a seat on the first floor? Why should he even pay the same price and get an inferior seat? Of course there is another thing to be taken into consideration and that is there are some choice seats in the balcony that should demand as much if not more than some seats located in the rear of the lower floor. Yet, it cannot be denied that in many instances the colored patron has not been treated properly. Not infrequently the management of a theatre, in anticipating a large colored clientele during the stay of the colored show in town, plans to do (what they term) a little "stealing." Of course the expression is merely a figure of speech, yet the prices go upward. The writer does not know the facts in the Savannah, Ga., incident, but in justice to S. H. Dudley and the Smart Set Company he will says that in the majority of the theaters in the South the house manager sets whatever prices he wants the colored patrons to pay, regardless of what the manager of the company says. In all probabilities the house manager of the Savannah theatre used his own judgment and charged whatever he personally saw fit. If such, then, was the case the citizens of Savannah have a grievance against the theatre and not the Smart Set management. It is only in the North that the two managers get together and agree to raise the price of seats. In the opinion of the writer, if the attention of the stars of the various shows was called to the fluctuating scale of prices with which the colored theatre-goers have to contend there will not likely be an occurrence of the Savannah incident. The majority of comedians who are at the head of colored shows believe in fair play and do not care to see undue advantage taken of any one. They are, much ayerse to having the colored theatre-goer discriminated against. Now that our leading comedians are aware that from, time to time the colored people, are made pay fancy prices for seats we know they will make a strong protest to the management to do away with any methods at the box office that will likely injure their business. The writer knows that the managers of all the colored shows will put an end to the practice of overcharging the public. So far as the theatres in the South are concerned where the resident manager takes it upon himself to make what- ever price that suits his fancy, let the management of the colored companies make a contract to play at such theatres for certain prices, and then the public will be protected. If there is anything that receives the support of the colored people of this country it is the colored show. You never hear the charge of lack of race patromage on that score. And as the people support the colored theatrical organizations so nobly it behooves the leading performers of these companies to see that the people are protected. But we do not suggest that the colored people remain away from the theatre. It is not necessary. LA SYLPHE TO LEAVE U. S. A. Noted Dancer of "Salome" Cancels Contracts Because Crane in Dying Out Liers. Lily Sylphe, the dancer of "Salome," who was the first to create a sensation in New York City months ago, is to return to Europe shortly. All her Ameri- MISS SARA THE WOMEN'S WEEKLY MISS SARA B. WRITT can contracts have been canceled and she will open at Tichy's Variety Theatre, Praque, December 1. La Sylphie was booked solid for forty weeks in the United States, but as the "Salome" craze is confined to New York only it has been thought best to release her from her American contracts so that she can get time abroad. NO SALOME FOR PITTSBURG Director of Public Safety Shocked by Blanche Deyo's Dance. Pittsburgh, October 14—Aroused by scores of protests, Director of Public Safety Lang Tuesday evening attended the performance of Joseph Weber's Company at the Duquesne Theatre to witness the Salome dance by Miss Blanche Deyo. He paid for a box, and asserts that he made arrangement to be admitted to the stage at any time so that he could ring down the curtain, if he so desired. Miss Deyo had reached that portion of the dance where she produces the head of John the Baptist, when Director Lang sprang from his seat and hurried to the stage door. It was locked. He hammered with both fists, but it was not opened. Then he attempted to break down the door, but could not. He hurried angrily to the front of the house, where he shouted to one of the managers: "You have defied me to-night. Wait until to-morrow." The dance was concluded when the director returned. "It is outrageous," he declared, "and will not be repeated in this city." He refused to say what action he would take. Mr. Weber declared that he had no intention of disobeying the law and would not attempt to put on the dance again if the authorities objected. OUR GIRLS SALOME MAD Now Study Oriental Dancing in Paris Instead of Painting or Mural. PAMS, October 10—The flood of Salomes which has burst over London and later over New York is having its effect here. Some American girls now feel that they must learn other steps besides the ordinary waltz and two-step. As a result they are beginning to come to Paris to learn dancing, which is now regarded as quite as proper art as painting or music. To be sure, most of these young dancers never appear in public, and only learn the dances for the amusement of their friends or for some semi-public affair like a charity ball. Miss Marjorie Chisholm is one of the first to adopt the adap of studying with Mme. Marraquita, the ballet mistress of the Opera Comique of Paris, who is responsible for the sensational dances of Regina Badet in "Aphrodite." Miss Chisholm, who is in Paris with her mother and her sister, is so enthusiastic over the progress she has made that she intends to stay at least another month before returning to Chicago. DOOMED THEATER HAT. Miss Keverly Millard Leads New Matters Crowds in London LONDON, October 12—Theatre managers here are beginning to realize that the matinee theater hats with its 30-inch diameter is approaching a climax. Miss Evelyn Millard, in her own theatre, the Garrick, had until lately encouraged her afternoon audiences to keep their elaborate and extensive headgear on their heads. Now she has put up signs ask- ing women to remove their hats. It seems that there are two classes of women who 'in general, form the majority of matinee audiences—the women who go to the theatre from home and who go to the all, and those who go drive from shopping tour and who wear their biggest and most luxurious hats. Concerning the former class, which has induced at least one manager to display a sign upon his curtain requesting the removal of hats, a manager said recently: "Ladies of good position drive to the theatre in the afternoon with no hats at all. Ten look at our pit and gallery. No one there ever offends by wearing a hat. It is a matter of mere good feeling. No one worthy the name of a lady would intentionally hurt others, or prevent them from having their rights. Men might come into the theatre with their hats on! Why, any gentleman might decline to take off his hat and declare that he had a cold in his head. There is no law in the matter, save that unwritten code that guides us in so many things—common good feeling and courtesy." SOUGHT PEER FOR STAGE. Lord Shaftsbury Offered $5,000 a Week To Drive in the United States To Sing in the United States. LONDON, October 3.—Lord Shaftsbury is the Admirable Crichton of the British peerage. He is a model landlord, the B. WRITTG champion of denominational education, and an active member of the English Church Union. Last year he was Lord Mayor of Belfast and plied that city with fine dignity through the great strike. He holds a post of honor in the household of the Prince of Wales, and ranks among the wealthiest peers of the realm. Everybody in London who pretends to any musical knowledge has been aware for years that Lord Shaftsbury possessed a good, well-trained voice, and frequently sang at the houses of friends, and occasionally for special charities. A few days ago the Earl sang at a charity concert, and an alert agent representing an American vaudeville syndicate, which recently came into some prominence, immediately saw a chance, if not getting a good number, at least of securing a good advertisement. Consequently he obtained from New York a previsional contract under which Lord Shaftsbury would tour the United States for thirty weeks at £1,000 a week "under the management of the premiers entrepreneurs of America." The agent also gave the assurance that everything would be done to sustain the dignity of the noble vocalist's exalted rank. This alluring offer was made to the Earl of Shaftsbury, who replied: "I am afraid I can't see my way to touring the States as a professional singer." PASSION PLAY BARRED. London Fails to See Performance That In Promised for New York. LONDON, Oct 5—America is promised—or threatened with—"a lantern performance with' four artists" of a play entitled "The Divine Mahatma," which is a sort of spiritualistic parody of the Passion, "Lion Margrave" is the author, of this effusion, which it was proposed to have given at the Bijou Theatre, Notting Hill. As public representations of Biblical subjects are not allowed on the English stage, the author had planned to circumvent the Lord Chamberlain by giving the performance "by invitation only," but he sent out a statement of his intentions together with a summary of the plot of his play, to the newspapers, with the result that some of them called attention to the offensive character of the piece, and the owners of the Bijou Theatre refused to allow its performance. Christ, Satan, Judas Iscariot, the Disciples, the adulteress, are all impersonated in this effort. They have been rechristened with thin disguises, however, Christ being "Emanuel, Master of the White Stone, the Divine Mahatma; Satan the "Emperor Apollon Satan XXX, of one of the late Cycles;" while Judas Iscariot appears as "Bar Scara," and the "woman taken in adultery" as "the lady Zeilla, a free soul." The Crucifixion itself is the last scene but one, and the tone of the dialogue which has been put into the mouths of the characters is not quotable. Emanuel himself on the cross discourses in the jargon of spiritualism. "A rich young man, Rei Omar," discourses freely with Judas Iscariot on love. The betrayer feels proof against the wiles of woman, and draws much silly comment from his companion. "Lion Margrave" is a man of some 50 years of age, who has the grace to conceal his real name. He says the proposed performance at Notting Hill was designed to be the prelude to a tour of the United States of America. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1908 THEATRICAL JOTTINGS Irving Jones is at Hammerstein's this week. Murphy and Francis are working for Keith and Procter. The Majestic Trio opened Sunday at Sioux City, Ia., for a week. Cook and Stevens are on the bill at Keeney's Theater, Brooklyn. Slater, Perrin and Crosby opened at the Hathway Theater, Malden, Mass., Monday, and were the hit of the bill. The members of "The Watermelon Trust" have returned from a highly successful trip out West. The act is laying off this week. J. Wl Cooper, ventriloquest, is playing some small Keith and Proctor time in New York State. He is making good with his act- and he is promised some big time. Marie Bolden, the song illustrator, was at the Gotham Theater 'Sunday evening. Her pleasing contralto voice was a big hit, featuring "Old Oaken Bucket," "Louise," and "Sunbonnet Sue." Bert and Bertha Grant were in Easton, Pa., last week, playing Keith time. At the opposition house the Bradfords were on the bill and after the show in the evenings the two teams indulged in whist matches. The Wang Douche Four are at the Imperial Theater, Colorado Springs. The act jumped from Frisco to Denver and is making its way eastward. James White has been suffering with a cold but is much better. The Casino Music Hall, Hoboken, N. J., is under the management of Chas. H. Taylor. The show is doing nicely. Ada Mickie, Taylor and Taylor, the Brinkleys, Dan Frazier, and Grithth B. Wilson are making good. This week there are two colored acts playing in Philadelphia, and both are working for William Morris. The Bradfordors are at Lain's Market Street Palace, and John Larkins is at Forepaugh's. Both theatres are opposition houses to the Keith Circuit. The Six Dixie Serenaders are in Cleveland. In speaking of the show at Keith's the Cleveland Press said: "The most popular act with the Monday matriess crowd, and the best act, too, was that of the Dixie Serenaders, half-a dozen colored folks who sing some of the real songs of the race, do some clever dancing and wind up with a taboo minstrel first part." Last week while playing in Dayton, the Brittons were the guests of Mrs Marion Mose Moore. They were royally entertained last Friday evening at a social given in their honor by Mrs Moore, which was attended by many well-known people of Dayton. The evening was passed in dancing and card playing. During the evening the hostess made announcement of the coming marriage of her sister, Miss Lucy Henry, which will take place October 20. The Brittons are in Syracuse this week. This week's bill at Huber's is not as strong as that of last week. The female singers have not as catchy numbers, and to have good songs is half the battle. The strongest feature of the program is the old. Lloyd Henderson's singing of "That's Enough" is the best piece of work done in the minstrel first part. Amie Smith sing "Sue Simmons," Midget Price, "Playing Hookey," and Minne Robinson "Imagine Town." Billy Ward is with the company and helps to make the film interesting. He appears in a monologue and sings two good songs. The surprise of the old is the Globe Comedy Four, composed of Messrs. Moore, Words, Henderson and De Van. They not only did a bit of comedy, but rendered several songs in a particularly pleasing manner. Al Watts is presenting an after-piece entitled "The Darktown Hospital," which gets some good laughs. Sallie Lee sings "Mandy Lee" assisted by chorus, which closes the show. Billy Harper and Company appeared at Hurtig and Seamason's Music Hall Sunday evening and scored heavily. Although last on the bill, which was made up of singing and dancing acts, with but one exception, the colored performers were compelled to respond to several encores at the finish of their act. This act should make a most favorable impression in vaudeville and there should not be much difficulty in securing booking over any of the circuits. The costuming of the entire act compares favorably with any of the large white acts. Particularly attractive are the female members in their sheath gowns, and Billy Harper is as equally funny in his number. "Rainbow Sue," sung by Harper, is a pleasing number. If the best dancing of Harper and Burris was saved for the finale, and the sheath gown song used by Ella Anderson and chorus, was sung with more ginger the act would close a little more lively and the singers would get even more applause out of the sheath gown number. In the company are Billy Harper, Jim Burris, Ella Harte, Hattie Christian, Cecil Rowe and Grade Jackson. TRAVELING IN THREE STATES "Black Fatti Troubadours" Going Some Years Out to the Company Anderson, S. C., Oct. 12. "Black Patti Troubadours" opened here Monday.

Notes about the company; The Pullman car which houses this company during its trans-continental tour is neatly and tastefully decorated by the ladies with brie-a-brac and so forth and as everybody is one of a committee of inspectors everything is as could be desired. Anthony Byrd, well-known to all the members of the profession, was royally entertained by his countless friends in Petersburg, his home, also Newport News. His popularity at home is unlimited. That's all. His name is Joseph. Mr. and Mrs. Homer Tutt have purchased two lots in Willow Grove, a suburb of Philadelphia, and the erec- tion of a substantial structure is contrapelled next season Great business in Charlotte and Dra. Machethi, Perry and Gazar entertained some of the members in their usual unbounded manner. They spoke highly of S. H. Dudley and the Smart Set members. The understudies are up in their lines to that extent that they are ready at a moment's notice to make good. Received a letter from Mrs. Emma Banard Whitney stating that she is in Highstown, N. J., and improving greatly. She was a member of this company last season. Vera Davenport, a new acquisition from Atlantic City, a native of Wilmington, Del., is progressing nicely. She has a pleasing soprano voice. Will Cook, our genial stage manager, will form an athletic club in the company, consisting of male and female members. As he is quite an adept in gymnastics, nothing but good results should crown his efforts. At Spartenburg and Ashville two audiences greeted us and seemed to enjoy the show immensely. You could readily discern a sprinkling of New York folks in the boxes and lower floor and the sight of them, even across the footlights, made us feel good. Notwithstanding our great distance from New York the baseball-fever had its victims in our show as usual. Where the Big Shoe Are: "THE RED MOON," Great Northern Theatre, Chicago, Ill.

Writt, of this city. Miss Writt at an early age showed that she had talent and her parents gave her an excellent vocal education. After taking private lessons for several years under Prof. Harry Brochette, of Pittsburg, she attended the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston. Up to this time Miss Writt has engaged chiefly in church work. Recently she gave a recital at the Trinity Congregational Church and the consensus of opinion was that the soprano singer has a bright future.

Taff made many friends among the Negro voters during his tour of the Southwest. While in this city he appeared before a large gathering and assured those present of his friendship for the race. His expression of faith in the race's ability to work out its own salvation particularly appealed to his audience. He said in part: "Others may do much for you, but you can do most for yourselves. You face a problem that no one acn-solve so splendidly as you can, under helpful influences and a favorable environment. I believe the God-fearing, honest, industrious, thrifty and intelligent Negroes of this country will solve their problem and solve it rightly, too. You must make yourselves useful memoirs for the public, and to do this you must educate yourselves industrially and thoroughly, so as to be able to perform the duties that may fall to your lot, be they exalted or humble. You must learn to be frugal and husband your resources." Mr. Taft gave everybody an opportunity to grasp his hand as he left the church, and his face glowed with genuine pleasure over the exclamations of satisfaction with the assurance he had given them of his friendship and good wishes. "We'll send you to the White House!" was echoed all about him as he departed. In Omaha, William Howard Taft's visit enabled the Negro voters to make a correct estimate of the man. He more than came up to the advance notives. His unaffected bearing, genial smile and heartiness of greeting made everybody feel at home with him at once. His speech was brief, but covered every phase of the platform and condensed a volume of intercourse to compass that instructed without wearing his hearers. There isn't a Negro in the State of Nebraska that will vote against Taft after getting within range of his remarkable personality. On the general committee which entertained the distinguished visitor were the following: Rev. T. W. Wright, Rev. John B. Dabbs Williams, Rev. Plumman John Vinegge, Rev. Carroll, John Grant Pegg and J. E. Dickerson, Rev. J. C. Bingham was a member of the recreation committee. Said a leading citizen of Omaha: "Bryan hasn't a ghost of a show to carry Nebraska. No one realizes this more than he himself. The Negro vote on June 14, 1916, in Douglass county (Omaha) we are the recognized balance of power—and Omaha sets the pace for the rural vote in Nebraska. Some of the most intelligent and progressive colored men in the country are numbered, among our citizens, and under their leadership populistic, heresies, Jim Crowism and Democratic mismanagement of our industrial, commercial and financial interests will be upheld to-date and practical policies of Roosevelt—of which Judge Taft stands before us as their living exponent. Taft and Sherman will carry Nebraska, and I am glad to say, he won't lose a single Negro vote in the entire State." Negro Republicans "Showing Them" in St. Louis. The Republican Club, of St. Louis, Noble Williams president and J. C. Covington secretary, is perfecting arrangements for two monster mass meetings of colored Republicans in the interests of Taft and Sherman. At the first meeting the Hon. Nelson Crews, the silver-tongued orator, of Kansas City, will deliver the principal address. The second meeting will be a grand "wind-up" of the campaign, and it is expected that the latter part of October be chosen as the most prospitious time. For this occasion Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, has been invited to be the guest of honor. A committee made up of Dr. D. W. Scott, Rev. B. W. Dunawant, Dr. William H. Mansfield, Prof. John A. Agee, Noble Williams and E. L. Hicks, all citizens of influence and standing, have been authorized to make necessary arrangements for these meetings. Secretary Covington states that the registration of Negro voters is about complete, and out of the 12,000 in the city, fully 11,000 have registered, and it is certain that Taft will practically deny affection over the troubles that some loud-mouthed agitators have advertised early and late. It is an open secret that if the Democrats carry the Legislature, a Jim Crow car law will be enacted, and a constitutional amendment restricting the suffrage of the black men to some salvation for the black men is to see to it that Taft gets the electoral vote, that Hadley is made Governor, and the Legislature is Republican in both branches. Judge Taft made an excellent impression upon the Negro voters on his visit last week, and they will strain every a majority as given him the State by as big a majority as was given Roosevelt four years ago. Kentucky Negroes for Taft. Kentucky Neighbors for Turt. "Will we have few new two meetings will be held by the New Republicans of Owenisoro, Ky. A meeting will be held in each end of the city for the purpose of taking active steps looking forward to the coming election. The inactivity up to this time is not due to any opposition to the judge but to a organization and the fact that the leaders have been busy attending conventions and fraternal gatherings of various kinds out of town. Now they propose to get down to solid work and from now until the election there will be a Republican revival all along the line. To illustrate the strong feeling among the Negroes in favor of the national ticket, it is explained that these meetings are not to be called by the local or county chairman, but by the Negro voters themselves, on their own motion and initiative. They realize the importance of making the rough preparation for a gallant fight for Taft and Sherman and are determined to leave no stone unturned to awing the electoral vote of the State for the Chicago nominee. The others have been invited to discuss the issues for the benefit of the voters, some from home and others will come from abroad. Editor R. T. Berry, of the Kentucky Reporter, is taking the lead in this work and good results may be expected from such a seasoned veteran. Effective aid will be rendered by the substantial professional and business men-of Owensboro and vicinity. BLACK-JACKED BY WHITES Mrs. Dupee, Former Wife of Albert Cooper, Annulled. Mrs. Emma Dupee, who owns and resides in a handsome house at East 83d street and Voorhees lane, in the Sheepshead Bay section, was violently assaulted in her home by two young white men who had called there with the evident intention, the police believe, of robbing the house. The weapon used by one of the assailants was a blackjack and she received a stunning blow on the head. Patrolman John McDonnell, of the Sheepshead Bay station, managed to capture one of the men, but a companion escaped. The police expect to get him, however. The fellow who was caught described himself as John Kelly, 27 years old, and said he lived at 91 Taylor street, in the Williamsburg section. He was taken over to the Coney Island court and was arraigned on charges of felonious assault and carrying concealed and unlawful firearms he failed not guilty and was held in default of $7,000 bonds on both charges. The Sheepshead Bay precinct and the other suburban precints have been overrun with thugs and highwaymen for a long time, but little or no information is ever given out by the police. Mrs. Dupee has heard of the conditions, and she always saw to it that her house was carefully locked up at night to keep out the many burglaries who have been powling about the precinct for a year or more. Several days ago, according to the police, the accused, accompanied by another man, called at the homes of several residents but nothing could be learned as to the nature of their business. The other afternoon Kelly and another man called at the Dupee home and, represented themselves as real estate agents. Mrs. Dupee has been accused of killing her house and when the two supposed agents called and expressed their desire to see the interior of the house they were shown about by Mrs. Dupee. It was in one of the upper rooms where the two men closed in on her and before she could realize what was about to happen she was struck down by a violent blow on the head. Mrs. Dupee then finally recovered and managed to reach the porch, where she screamed for help. The policeman, who had heard her scream, ran toward the house and captured Kelly. Mrs. Dupee was able to appear before Magistrate Voorhees, but she could scarcely see because of the beating she received. She said she was struck several times, but nearly knocked downstairs. The accused refused to make any statement when arraigned in court. He inquired as to the amount of bail required and shuddered when the magistrate informed him he would be required to furnish $5,000 on the charge of felonious assault made against him and $2,000 on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. Magistrate Voorhees declared, said sat at a witness' office, affirms his residents and residents are held up and assaulted in their own homes, and in broad day light, too Mrs. Dupee, who is well to do and wears many diamonds, was recently married to her present husband. She was the widow of Albert Cooper, a well known coloured horseman who unknowingly gave birth to James R. and Foxall P. Keeney. She has lived in Sheepshead Bay for a number of years. The alleged assailant said he lived at the Oceanic Hotel, at Sheepshead Bay road and West Eighth street, Coney Island, and the police say he told them at spent most of the summer in a corner of Oceanic Lake, spot where the two men were murdered early in the summer by Louis Poggi. 4. Franklin Smallwood J. Franklin Smallwood, the subject of this sketch, is a native of Portsmouth, Va., where he received the rudiments of his education and subsequent training for the sterner duties of life, which he used to good advantage on coming to Brooklyn several years ago. From his youth to the present time he has been a lover of good books devoted to high ideals and men of mark. Long-fellow's poem, "Lives of great men all remind us," etc., fired his youthful ambition to aim high. Not being satisfied with the small salary usually paid for such work as he could get, Mr. Smallwood determined to better his condition by preparing himself to fill a betrayer of the king, the night oil while his fellows enjoyed themselves at the theatre, card party or ball. The result was that he soon found employment with the State Bank of New York, and at the present time holds the position of chief collector for that great financial institution. Unlike many other young men, Mr. Smallwood did not stop his studies after securing a good paying position. His ambition swept him higher, and he soon took up the study of criminal law from theoucine institute. Law, from which he soon graduate. On being admitted to the bar, Mr. Smallwood will in all likelihood practice in the courts of New York and New Jersey, being closely affiliated both in this city, where he is well known, and in Newark, N. J. where he has a large following. In business, as well as in social circles, he is an able, considerate and a royal good fellow. He is Supreme Counselor-Roebck for the Supreme Lodge of the Benedictine Philanthroic Order of Roebcks of THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1908 America and Elsewhere, to the most runs. Besides other numerous duties, Mr. Smallwood gives considerable time and thought to church and Sunday School work. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church. Out-of-Town Hotels and Summer Resort HOTEL UPTO MRS. B. MURPHY, President THE TRUTH ABOUT HATTL To the Editor of the *The Sun*—Sir: I am prompted to send this letter to The Sun because I have noted that it is probably the only paper in New York which gives a "square deal" to Hayti. The sensational stories published right along in some newspapers regarding the little republic would appear to Americans who know the facts about Hayti simply ridiculous, if such stories did not have the regrettable effect of injuring American interests in that country. During the last four years American influence has almost superseded French and German influence there. All important contracts were given to Americans. The Haytian Government showed a distinct preference for all things American, and did all in its power to promote closer relations with the United States, and to friendly advances what does our press do but publish continually unreliable news and mendacious stories, all tending to show Haytian to the American public in the worst possible light; so that the American investor and traveler, having thus been educated to regard Haytian as a hotbed of turmoil and even terrorism, has had the opportunity precariously every time Haytian is mentioned as a possible place for investment and gives it a wide berth. These newspaper articles have no less disastrous an effect on the Haytians, for they tend to alienate these good people from us and to throw them back into the arms of the French and Germans, who are but too willing to embrace them again and get back all their business. New commercial treaties have issued by the French and Germans, many. Negotiations are now on foot for the adjustment of pending difficulties between the Haytian Government and the French bank for the return to the bank of the government treasury service taken away from it some years ago for breach of contract. On the other hand, it is significant to note that following immediately on recent press publications the consideration of all contracts and concessions proposed to the legislature on behalf of Americans has been followed up fairly. At the time news of revolution and famine in Haytian was being published in an important New York newspaper, during the months of July and August last, about a dozen Americans, including myself, were traveling in Haytian. We can all affirm that none of us saw or heard of a single case of starvation; and journeying night and day through the interior we saw no signs of unrest, much less of shooting and fighting, and of looting and looting, as peaceful. We were received everywhere with the Haytian's usual hospitality, and felt a great deal safer in one of their mountain villages than we would feel in many a place in New York. The talk about voodooism and sacrifice of children is another sensationalism. It can be safely said, that none of the writers of those wierly illustrated stories can swear to having witnessed a human sacrifice. Voodooism exists in Hayti as it does in our State of Louisiana in no worse. the religious government has a concordat with the Pope whereby it defrays the expense of the clergy in Hayti, which is composed of an Archbishop, three Bishops and about 150 priests. All the clergy come from France, and so do the nuns directing the convent schools. In Port-au-Prince, the capital, a French architect is building a cathedral which when completed will be probably the most beautiful of the War of the States. The Hayti Government granted $1,000 American gold for building the cathedral. Churches and chapels, with schools attached to them for boys and girls, are to be found all over the country, even in the remotest mountain villages. More than $1,000,000 Haytian currency is spent, by the Government a year for education. The Haytian student can graduate from the College$ of Port-au-Prince. He can become a doctor or of law, and there are professors Haytian turned out from the schools who can compare to his advantage with distinguished Frenchmen of the same profession.' As regards its financial condition, Hayti can stand comparison with the majority of Central and South American States. Its 6 per cent, gold bonds of the par value of 500 francs, first issued in 2000, were quoted on the Paris Bourse at 540. When Hayti was said to the contrary, Hayti has always paid its liabilities, and no foreigner in Hayti can honestly say that he has lost money in his dealings with the Government. Hayti has been a "good thing" for them at the time, and when the situation will change, it can be to keep others away from it, so as to have the cake all to themselves. It is well known that this has been the systematic policy of the French bank referred to—whenever it was approached for information regarding Hayti it would invariably give out unfavorable reports. Meanwhile it was ill equipped for the sturgeon surplus of 10,000,000 francs a sum equal to its capitalization, whereof only one half has been paid in. The shares of this same bank of the par value of 500 francs, with only 250 francs paid in on them, cannot now be bought on the Paris Bourse even at an advance on their par value! This does not speak so very badly for Hayti as a place for investment. There are just a few more things that might be said about Hayti to show that it is not as black as it has been painted.

Strother, treasurer, Utica, N. J. Y. The faculty, whose full names I do not now recall, will be taken up in the next letter, Taft and Sherman were cologged by the conference. Hughes was the also of the institute, whom he been somewhat cut short by reason of the short privileges at races favored Bryan and Chandler. All that is needed to put them in line is a little talk with some also next session. The conference will hold at Hope Chapel A. M. E. Zion Church, Utica, N. Y. It has been over fourteen years or more since Utica has had a conference of any kind. The conference at the Hope Chapel A. M. E. Zion Church were largely attended Sunday evening to hear the report. Nearly $500 has been collected since conference. This caused rejoicing among the colored people and they are more determined to take second place in this conference. Under the management of Rev R. J. Strother, since conference, the church is being filled every Sabbath. The old members of the church are now returning. He is now leading other leading members here in Utica to either remodel or purchase the Old Welsh Church. The building near Hope Chapel is the latest gossip. That will give us church 40 feet wide and 90 feet long. The present room is to be used for the Sunday school and entertainments. The auditorium being above, which will be 40 by 40 feet, so will be cut short. The remaining part of the old house will be turned into a parsonage, with all modern improvements, rooms and pastor's study. All this we hope to complete by conferencing. If it had not been reported by the church delegate sent from Hope Chapel, Rev. Lloyd. Miss Susie Hopkins, of North Mills, who has been spending her vacation, returned her glad to welcome her back. Miss Mary Onley, of this city, who is attending the Bridgewater Normal School, received the highest honors in art, of a class of 200.
