THE NEW YORK AGE. TAFT and SHERMAN SWEEP COUNTRY VOL. XXII. No. 6 TAFT and NEGRO VOTERS ARE LOYAL TO G. O. P. They Were to a Large Extent Responsible for Republiican Success in Many Doubtful States DEMOCRATIC LOSSES IN THE SOUTH Republican Congress Assured and Working Majority Increased—West Virginia Goes Republican and Jim Crow and Disfranchisement Amendments Overwhelmingly Defeated. Returns show that the cry—"Remember Brownsville"—which was circulated by would-be Negro Democrats at the instance of Democratic leaders was not heeded in the manner desired by Bryan. Throughout the United States the Negro voters acted on the advice of the conservative and thoughtful members of the race; they refused to make Brownsville an issue. They loyally supported the Republican ticket. Every State classed as doubtful went for Taft and Sherman. The popular vote for these candidates in every section, except the South, was a tremendous one. The only satisfaction that Bryon can get out of the result in Indiana, a doubtful State, is that it is close. He cut down the Roosevelt plurality by about 80,000 votes. Ohio, which was also classed in the doubtful column, gave Taft a plurality, which is also a thorn in the side of the Democrats. The State of New Jersey has given William H. Taft a plurality exceeding 60,000. Hudson county, which gave Parker, Democrat, in 1904, a plurality of 1,238, gives Bryan this year a plurality of about 9,000. The Republicans carried Connecticut for their Presidential ticket by probably more than 33,000 plurality. The same returns give Lilley (Rep.) for Governor 63,746, and Robertson (Dem.) 54,140, a plurality for Lilley of 9,606. The claims made by the Democrats that New York, Ohio, Indiana, Maryland and other States classed in the doubtful column would be carried for Bryan with the assistance of the Negro vote proved to be an idle boast. Instead of the Negroes helping to elect Bryan in the doubtful States they were, to a large extent, responsible for several of these States, notably Ohio and Indiana, going Republican for Taft. In New York City, where the Negro Democrats appeared as confident before election as Murphy, Connors and McCarren of New York State going Democratic, it was noticeable when the returns came in from the voting districts where the Negro vote is heavy, that the Republican party had made great gains. Despite the attempt to incite the Negroes of New York City against Taft and Sherman the voters remained true to the G. O. P. With "Jim Crowism" and disfranchisement an issue in West Virginia the Negroes voted in large numbers in that State and supported the Republican ticket, defeating any attempt on the part of the Democrats to pass any obnoxious laws in that State. Joseph G. Cannon has been re-elected to Congress from the Danville, Ill. District, and the Republicans have increased their lead in the House of Representatives. In New York Congressmen Olcott, Parsons and Bennett were re-elected. On election night there were rumors afloat that Taft and invaded the solid South, but late returns failed to substantiate the reports. However, in many of the Southern States, notably Virginia and Florida, the Republicans made large inroads in the vote of the Democratic party. Following are the figures showing how Bryan fared in the doubtful States—Taft's plurality in each State being given—New York, 200,000; New Jersey, 75,000; Ohio, 65,000; Indiana, 15,000; Maryland, 10,000; Colorado, 20,000; Connecticut, 40,000; Delaware, 35,000. The United States Senate will show practically no change in political complexion, the Republicans retaining a large majority. In Oregon a Democrat was given the endorsement for United States Senator, and if the Legislature carries out the will of the voters as expressed at the primary in the State, the Republican majority will be decreased by one in the Senate. Otherwise, the indications are that the political strength of the two leading parties in the upper branch of Congress will remain as heretofore. The term of thirty-one Senators expire March 3. Louisiana and Maryland have already elected Democrats, and Vermont and Kentucky have chosen Republicans, and of the remaining twenty-seven members to be elected the probabilities are that fifteen will be Republicans and eleven Democrats. Indiana, which elects a United States Senator, is considered doubtful as to the complexion of the Legislature. The membership of the Senate is 92, the hold-over members numbering 61 (43 Republicans and 18 Democrats). The election of 17 Republicans and 13 Democrats, as seems probable from the returns giving the makeup of the various legislatures which elect Senators, would show the strength of the two leading parties in the Senate to be: Republicans, 60; Democrats, 31; doubtful, 1.

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT Our Next President Comments on Results of the Election forced to say that the returns in many respects have exceeded my expectations," Chairman Hitchcock wrote. "Especially the case in New York State, and, for that matter, the entire East. In some parts of the West, the returns are smaller than I hoped for. I think, however, that the result is not so very far off from the expected. Illinois made a good showing, if the returns are all that is claimed for them, and it appears we exceeded the State by at least 150,000. Mr Hughes has proved himself a remarkable campaigner, and the National Committee is deeply indebted to him. He did on his Western trip. I think the people have done remarkably well. The returns speak for the present indications appear to be that we were wrong when we said there were any doubtful States. Of course, released, although I do not feel as if I was in any way responsible for the outcome. If I have helped a lot, I think the result will show that my estimate of the electoral vote was entirely correct." WILLIAM H. TAFT. Result of the national election does not surprise me. For the past month I have been as sure of Republican party, platform and candidate stood for stability, order, confidence, a continuance of prosperity, continuance of protection and the gold standard; stood for the equality of all men and all interests be. Juan and Bryanism attempted to array class against class; to stir up hate, to confuse the voter by a man, to alleged issues, and to draw attention from the tariff plank of their platform. Mr. Taft's campaign rightforward, manly. He met every issue squarely, justified by clear argument his past acts and his expert policies. The result justifies the confidence in the ultimate wisdom of the people's decision. JAMES S. SHERMAN. Reply gratified by the success of Mr. Taft and by our victory in this State, as indicated by present returns, those who have labored so earnestly in support of my candidacy I wish to express my warmest appreciation in expression of the confidence of the people I shall devote myself with renewed zeal to their service."

For the past month I have been as sure of Republican success.

Under Avalanche of Votes---His Third Defeat More Decisive Than Other Two. GOV. CHARLES E. HUGHES RE-ELECTED One of the Greatest Surprises of the Election was the Carrying of Greater New York City by Taft Over Bryan-New York State Gives the Republican Nominees a Big Plurality. William H. Taft, of Cincinnati, O., and James Schoolcraft Sherman, of Utica, N. Y., were Tuesday elected President and Vice-President of the United States by an overwhelming majority. So decisive was their victory that only a few hours after the polls had closed the entire country knew that there had been a Republican landslide, and that the twenty-seventh President of the United States would be William H. Taft. According to late advices the Republicans carried twenty-nine States for Taft, and he will receive over three hundred electoral ballots. Although Governor Hughes of New York ran behind Taft and Sherman, he was re-elected over Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, his Democratic opponent, by a plurality of over 70,000. The gambling element and those who favor racing in New York opposed Governor Hughes, and the large vote he received surprised many. William Jennings Bryan was repudiated throughout the nation. His defeat was decisive. It has been said by close friends of the Nebraskan that he stated before election he would never be a candidate again if defeated at the polls Tuesday. The Republican candidate showed amazing strength in the Eastern States, in some instances far exceeding the phenomenal pluralities rolled up by Roosevelt four years ago. This was particularly true of New York State, where his plurality is about 179,000, eclipsing by 8,000 Roosevelt's plurality of 1904. Taft held the great Republican vote of the last campaign in the New England States, in Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut and New Jersey, in some cases increasing the Roosevelt pluralities. Bryan showed his old-time strength in the Middle West and the Far West, cutting down the monster Roosevelt 1904 pluralities in half in a dozen important States. He captured his home State after a close struggle, that was not determined until early Wednesday morning. He held the solid South, of course. The very first election returns pointed unmistakably to the ultimate result. When the counting machines of Buffalo showed that Taft had carried Erie county by more than 4,000 the Republican managers and the Democratic managers as well knew that nothing short of a miracle in other parts of the country could save Bryan. The returns from the Massachusetts town of Norwell, showing a big Republican gain over the 1904 vote, confirmed the belief that Taft was to score a decisive victory. As the returns came piling in enormous Republican pluralities were indicated in every direction. That Taft had been elected was known throughout the United States one hour after the closing of the polls. Thereafter it was merely a question of the size of his majority in the electoral college. Early in the evening Chairman Mack abandoned the fight and admitted that there would be a general Republican victory. Undoubtedly the most astounding result was in the Empire State. None of the Taft backers had dared to claim anything like the plurality shown here. Hitchcock modestly said he would be satisfied with 100,000. The President had a better line on the situation and said that Taft would get 150,000. Not a single ante-election poll indicated such an overwhelming Taft victory. Meager reports showing only the trend of the voting indicate that Taft carried Idaho by 20,000 and the election of the entire Republican State ticket. Brady for Governor should have 8,000 plurality on the basis of present indications. The Legislature is in doubt. Taft carried Iowa by nearly 50,000 votes. The Legislature will also be Republican, which will elect a successor to succeed the late Senator William B. Allison. Taft's plurality in California will be between 60,000 and 70,000, conservatively estimated. H. A. Melvin has been elected to the Supreme Court bench. The Legislature is strongly Republican and will re-elect George C. Perkins to the United States Senate. Election returns indicate the election of the Republican National ticket in Utah by 10,000 to 15,000. Joseph Howell, Republican, is elected to Congress, and William Spry, Republican, for Governor. The Republicans continue control of the Legislature and Reed Smoot will be re-elected United States Senator. The Congressional delegation stands at least 11 Republicans and two Democrats, with the Eleventh District in doubt. Republican State Chairman du Pont announced that the plurality for Taft in Delaware will be 3,000. The State ticket will have the same plurality, with the exception of Davis for attorney-general, who, he said, will be elected by 8,400. Taft has carried Illinois by about 175,000. The Democrats have gained one Congressman—the Eighth District, with the Twenty-fourth claimed by both sides. The delegation probably will be nineteen Republicans and six Democrats. Speaker Cannon was re-elected in the Eighteenth District by about 5,000, as against 10,000 two years ago. Governor Deneen has been re-elected. A Republican Legislature is elected and will return A. B. Hopkins to the Senate. The Republicans made a clean sweep in Chicago and Cook county with their county ticket. Stevenson, Democrat, for Governor, carries the city by about 8,000. Taft's plurality in the city is about 55,000. Hisgen (Independence) polled about 4,000 votes in Chicago and Debs (Socialist) 17,000, a slump of sixty per cent. Maine has given a plurality of 32,000 for Taft. Hisgen, Independence Party; Debs, Socialist, and Chafin, Prohibition, probably have polled 2 per cent. of the total vote, evenly divided. Indications are that Taft has carried Kansas by 25,000 plurality and that W. R. Stubbs (Republican) has been elected Governor, but by a plurality of less than 10,000. The Legislature is in doubt, but it is believed to be Republican by (Continued on Page 4) Won't Control Publication But Position Will be analogous to that of Consulting Engineer The Outlook, to be issue on Saturday, will contain an announcement of the connection with the magazine of President Roosevelt, who is to become associated with the publication March 5, together with an outline of the nature of Mr. Roosevelt's future work as a magazine editor. The announcement: "On and after the 5th of March, 1909, Theodore Roosevelt will be associated with The Outlook's editorial staff as special contributing editor. "As the beginning of the nineteenth century was characterized by the movement toward political democracy, so the beginning of the twentieth century has been characterized by, a movement toward industrial democracy. In this world movement Theodore Roosevelt has been recognized as a world leader. No one who knows him has believed that his leadership would cease with his retirement from the Presidency. We congratulate ourselves and our readers that this leadership, exercised for the past seven years in Presidential messages, will be exercised in the future through the columns of The Outlook, which will be the exclusive channel for the expression of his views on political, industrial and social topics. Mr. Roosevelt will be more than a mere contributor. His headquarters will be at The Outlook office, and he will be in frequent, and, we hope, constant consultation with its staff. His position will thus be somewhat analogous to that of a consulting engineer who is called in to give the benefit of his expert co-operation to the staff of engineers in charge of a great undertaking like the Panama Canal. But the editorial control of The Outlook will remain unchanged. Mr. Roosevelt's contributions, though editorial in their nature, will be signed by his name, and will be the absolutely free and unmodified expression of his personal convictions. We anticipate that on occasions both the interest and the value of The Outlook will be enhanced by frank discussions between this journal and its distinguished associate. "As already announced in these columns, Mr. Roosevelt, after retiring from the Presidency, will sail for Africa, and the reports of his scientific hunting expedition will be published exclusively in Scribner's Magazine. During this period his contributions on questions of the day will necessarily be somewhat restricted. Yet The Outlook will have the benefit of his foresight before he sails, and will give to its readers occasional articles from his pen on topics of current interest, which will foreshadow his larger editorial activity upon his return to his native land. "The history of the world," says Hegel, is none other than the progress of the consciousness of Freedom. Ever since its birth, in 1870, The Outlook has been endeavoring to interpret current history in the spirit of this definition. We count ourselves very happy in being promised in this work the co-operation of an American so eminent in the essential qualities of leadership as Theodore Roosevelt—high ideals, extraordinary quickness and largeness of vision, the long look ahead, a consistent and progressive political philosophy, practical wisdom in applying the great principles to present and prospective conditions, unfailing good humor, faith in God and in his fellow-men, and always indomitable and unquestioned courage." Silver Wedding at Richmond. Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon Jones celebrated their 25th anniversary at their residence, 1005 North Seventh street, Richmond, Va. October 8, 1908. A great number of friends assembled and many congratulations, together with many presents, were received. Among the visiting friends was Mrs. S. A. Jones, of New York City, the sister of the bride; who assisted in the reception, being attired in black silk with diamond ornaments. The bride was attired in white silk with pearl ornaments. Mrs. M. Crutchfield, of Frederickburg. Miss: M. B. Evans and Mrs. B. L. Stewart, of Washington, D. C., were among the visiting friends. DELAWARE GOES REPUBLICAN Negro Vote Responsible for Selection of Taft Electors. Editor of THE N. Y. ACR. Again "we have met the enemy and they are ours," and Delaware stands safe in the Republican ranks. From the returns so far received, it is probable that the Taft electors will have from 2,500 to 3,000 majority. The State ticket is electeted by a slightly reduced majority, with the exception of Frank H. Davis, candidate for Attorney General, against whom there was a bitter fight. He was defeated by a small majority. The Legislature is very close, with a possible majority of one in each house for the Republicans. The First Legislative District, the one in which Charles H. Colburn lives, a Democratic stronghold, has gone Republican. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Colburn and his able assistants, who worked in clubs and otherwise with such untiring energy and zeal for the success of the party locally and throughout the State. Every county, city, township and hundred was thor- oughly and well organized and in the hands of good local workers. Much valuable help was given us by the frequent visits of Fred R. Moore, editor of THE N. Y. Acq, for whom the Delaware people have the highest regard, and by other such vigorous and effective workers as Judge Hewlett, R. H. Horner, John C. Dancy and J. H. Patterson, Washington's representative of the National Speakers' Bureau. Never in the history of the 'State have the colored people stood so solitary for Republican principles' and vote the ticket so promptly without financial consideration. In many precincts where there was a large colored vote, fully two-thirds of that vote was polled before noon. We believe, from very careful study of this vote, that the defec- of me re a 0, ed as th e- ne as nt is lt r. ed is /e rs s- re k, or al, P. H.

Miss Harrell r We have implicit confidence in the ante-election pledges of the Republican party to restore business confidence and prosperity. Already there are many "signs of the times" that evidence the reliability of these promises, and in our own community many industries are starting to run on full time and with full working force, a thing that has not been true before in many months. Mentoring of Flag State Medical and Dental Association—Society Notes. Boston, November 2.—A Yale man will lead the Pioneer Lodge of Elks for the next half year. At the recent semi-annual election of the Order Dr. John B. Hall was made Exalted Ruler. Dr. Hall is a graduate of the Scientific School of Yale University, and of the Medical School of University of Pennsylvania. He is one of the rising men of his profession in Boston and his election was an exceedingly popular one. Last Thursday evening the public installation of the recently, elected officers took place at Paine Memorial Hall. In spite of the outrage of some outcourt witness the ceremony Mr. Arthur Jackson, Past Exalted Ruler, presided at the preliminary exercises, during which speeches were made by Raymond Phillips, Grand Esteemed Leading Knight; Frank Chisholm, Legal Secretary, and J. A. Black, Grand District Exalted Ruler, who afterwards installed the officers. The following were the officers installed: L. B. Hall, Exalted Ruler; J. W. B.

Saturday night under the charge of Messrs. Charles Wilson, Wm. Sulzzer and Ernest Gould, which has been so enjoyably anticipated by the younger Bostonians of the exclusive set, proved to be the most brilliant and pleasing function of the season. Some very unique features were introduced, all of which were calculated to accentuate the workings of the decult administration of the hour. Masked ladies in fantastic costumes circled mysteriously about the dimly lighted room; each bearing a playing card which was the duplicate of the one which her prospective escort for the evening had in his possession. After the cards were all matched the costumes and masks were doffed and dancing to the music of Pat Toy's Orchestra was the order of the evening. A luncheon of doughnut apples, the dessert of apple pie, and midnight. The out of town guests included Miss Florence Anderson, of Brockton; Miss Marie Kennard, of Worcester, and Messrs. Goff McDaniels, of Worcester, and Messrs. of Brown University. The patrons were Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lewis, Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Imac, Mrs. Edna Lewis and Mrs. Pruse Imac.

Madford, has returned from Washington, D. C., where she had an enjoyable time. Miss Harriet Jones entertained in honor of her brother, Mr. George Jones, who reached the majority mark last Saturday, and an affair to cause the plessant publications of the occasion was arranged for the young man. It was held in Cozy Hall, Huntington Chambers, where music and dancing and games filled the hour till midnight. Miss Georgetta Johnson, who has been the guest of Miss Mary Bond, of Hyde Park, has returned to Boston. Miss Jessie Harrell, of Prentiss street, North Cambridge, was the recipient of a pretty birthday party last Saturday night. A bevy of young folks crowded the house. LATE RETURNS SHOW GAINS Minnesota in Republican Column—Also Harvard and West Virginia. Late returns from several States indicate that Taft and Sherman will receive even a larger electoral vote than was at first figured. It is highly probable that when the returns are in from all doubtful States the Republican nominoes will have 327 electoral votes. West Virginia has gone Republican by at least 10,000 votes for Taft and has elected a Republican Governor. Herbert S.

Every Sunday brings an increase of attendance. Last Sunday Powhattan Bagnall addressed the Union on "Little Things." The speaker dealt out some very encouraging advice on the important small beginnings Mrs. Bagnall was the soloist, and she sang in her usual charming manner. Pres. F. Gaston Hill presided. Next Sunday Hon. A. H. Krinke will speak on "The Life and Service of Joseph Lee." A large audience turned out to greet Bishop W. J. Gaines, of the First Episcopal District, at St. Paul A. M. E.

Portsmouth Happenings Portsmouth, Virginia, November 2.—Messrs. Willie and Eddie Gray, of Carroll street, gave a farewell reception in honor of Miss Annie Baker, who returned to Kittrell College in North Carolina Monday.

LATE RETURNS SHOW GAINS Late returns from several States indicate that Taft and Sherman will receive even a larger electoral vote than was at first figured. It is highly probable that when the returns are in from all doubtful States the Republican nominees will have 387 electoral votes. West Virginia has gone Republican by at least 10,000 votes for Taft and has elected a Republican Governor. Herbert S. Hadley has been elected Governor of Missouri over his Democratic opponent, William S. Cowherd, and has carried Taft and the entire State ticket with him. Missouri will probably send a Republican Senator to Washington. Maryland has gone for Taft by a small plurality, despite the claims of the Democrats that the State cast its electoral votes for Bryan. Douglas Strachan Wedding The marriage of Miss Florence Marguerite Strachan to Mr. Harry Lincoln Douglass, both well-known residents of Brooklyn, took place Wednesday evening, October 28, at the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. S. Dixon. Nearly 250 guests were present. At 8.30 Mrs. J. S. Parson started to play Mendelssohn's wedding march. The bridal procession was lead off by Messrs. William Russell Johnson, George W. Lattimore and Thomas E Pinter, Jr. They were followed by Mrs. Ludlow E. Werner, the matron of honor, who wore a directoire gown of point d'esprit, trimmed with pink meselline satin and lace over pink meselline satin and carried a large bouquet of pink carnations, a gift of the groom. The two little flower girls, Gretchen Teneyck and Annette Le Gere, were dressed in pretty white China silk dresses. Each carried a basket of flowers, and scattered flowers in the path on the bride. The bride followed on the arm of her father, Mr. J. B. Williams. She wore a hand-made gown of crepe de chine handsomely made in the directoire style, trimmed with princess lace and pearl trimming. Her tulle veil was caught in front with a coronet of orange blossoms. She carried a large shower bouquet of bridal roses. When the bride reached the altar she was met by the groom and his best man, Mr. Ludlow E. Werner. The father turned her over to the groom and when the wedding march was over the ceremony was performed. After the wedding ceremony a reception was held in honor of the couple at the home of the bride, 891 Myrtle avenue. They left for a two weeks' trip, their first stop being in Washington, D. C.

"It pays to advertise in the New York Age 7-8 Chatham Square New York TAFT ELECTION HELPS BUSINESS Stecks Advance Several Points Since Tuesday OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT Copper Metal Goss Up—Trade Journalist Predict Steady Improvement The Republican victory of last Tuesday has already been the cause of a business boom. While there has been no sensational rise in stocks there has been an apparent increase in business. Judge Gray, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, said that he was not ready as yet to comment on the election, but it was learned that the company had no orders on its books contingent on the election. It is true, however, that there have been large numbers of inquiries for various forms of finished steel in the market for the past week or so, which are expected, now that the election uncertainty is past, to take the form of orders and go to swell the corporation's unfilled tonnage figures. Quotations for copper metal, after having been advanced to 14 cents per pound by the Calumet & Hecla Company for Lake copper ten days ago and to 12¾ cents by the United Metals Selling Company, the largest producer of the electrolytic grade, were raised ¼ cent in the selling price on the Metal Exchange. In sales in fair quantity were reported for delivery well into January, and the leading interests have expressed themselves as confident of the steady increase off the buying which became a large factor in the market last month. Neither the American Locomotiveanies nor any of the large equipment companies reported new orders Wednesday, though as in other lines the business of these companies has been steadily growing. The leading trade journals issued this week give prominence to the large number of inquiries which began to appear in the market as doubt of the election's outcome disappeared. The Iron Age says: "From all quarters comes the report of very large inquiries and close testing of the market by large and small consumers for delivery, not only during the balance of the year, but also for the first and second quarters of 1909. "Additional steel car orders have come up for consideration, the number needed for four roads being about 6,000. There is also new work in volume coming up for the locomotive shops, one system needing 25 new engines. The Grand Trunk Railway has ordered 2,000 cars from the Pressed Steel Car Company, Pittsburgh. "The leading structural interest has closed for 3,000 tons of girder and bridge work for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and a Pittsburg fabricator has secured the contract for 3,000 tons of 9-foot riveted pipe for "mexico." The plates and shapes for a boat to be built at Toledo, 3,500 tons, have been awarded." The Iron Trade Review says: "Decided improvement has characterized the pig iron market within a few days, which, it is believed, indicates a permanent change for the better. The result of the Presidential election has cleared the atmosphere and moderate buying in all lines is expected. Conservative men, however, are disposed to be cautious and not expect too sudden or great an increase in the volume of business. "The railroads are showing more activity. The Northern Pacific has specified on 12,000 tons of rails to the Lackawanna Steel Company, while the Rock Island has specified on 5,000 tons to be rolled by the Illinois Company. The Missouri Pacific has placed an order with the American Car and Foundry Company for the repair of 6,000 freight and 75 passenger cars. The Illinois Central has ordered 400 convertible cars and the Santa Fe has ordered 5,000 tons of steel for bridge and viaduct construction." Other influential trade journals speak in the same tone. Meeting of North Jersey Medical Ann The North Jersey Medical Association had a most interesting meeting Monday evening, at the residence of Dr. George E. Cannon. Dr. Baxter read a very instructive paper, which was afterwards discussed. Dr. C. A. Johnson, and Dr. E. P. Roberts were special guests and participated in the discussion. A sumptuous repast was served by the host, and while Doctors Alexander Robinson and Ballard "told stories," the others "smoked." A vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Cannon who was responsible for the most pleasant part of the evening's entertainment. Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Services at Ehnenzer Baptist Church on Sunday were well attended. The pastier, Rev E. S. Fariess, preached at 10.45 A.M. Rev. W. R. Lawton, of Brooklyn, N.Y. preached in the evening. Rev Josephine A. May took part in the services after which was administered the Lord's Supper. Rev C. S. Fariess, John H. Green. Mrs. Lucy B. Hays, Mrs. J. W. Hardey, and Mrs. C. S. Fariess, attended the thirteenth annual convention of the New York State Convention at Port Jefferson State Island. Last week, Mrs. M. J. Golden and daughter at C. S. Fariess, attended the National Grand Session of Daughters and Sons of St. Luke, in Brooklyn, N. Y. Mrs. Mary Preston spent her vacation with friends in New York City. Rev. C. S. Fariess visited friends in Yankers and Qasmin. On Thursday evening, residence of the marriage of Mr. Frederick Bradford and Miss Blanche Franklin took place. Both are of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. On November first the marriage of Mr. Homer Dillon and Miss Anna Tuthill, both of Poughkeepsie, took place at P. M. at the residence of Rev. C. S. Fariess the presence of few friends. The many samples have the best wish of their many friends. They will reside in this city. The Cosmopolitan Bible Class, at 4 P.M. in the Middletown New Hall, in well attained under the assistance of Rev. C. S. Furious, as the hostmaster, Rev. W. R. Lovett of Browdham, N. V. and Rev. C. S. Furious were the guests of Mrs. J. W. Harden on Sunday evening. Monday evening, November 2, the services over the running of Miss Larry Tanner were held in Selfridge, understaffers' parlour. At to A. M. Rev. C. S. Furious conducted the services, assisted by Rev. Bonkina. The remains were sent to Columbia County, Va., for interment. (Special to The Ace.) DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 2—The Lone Star Medical Association of Texas, which convened in this city all of last week, was possibly the most successful gathering of its kind ever held in the South. The public exercises, at which various technical papers were read by representatives from all over the State, were held in the new Evening Chapel C. M. E. Church, on Bold street. Tuesday night at a very enthusiastic meeting, presided over by Dr. J. H. Welch, of Dallas, the welcome address was delivered by Prof. J. H. Polk on behalf of the mayor and the city. The speech of the evening, however, was the welcome address by Dr. Frank Jay ```markdown ``` FRANK JAY HAWKINS, M.D. Hawkins, grand medical examiner of the Court of Calanthe, Texas. His address was to the point and struck a popular chord. A number of the visiting doctors responded. Dr. G. I. Jackson, the pastor, invoked the divine blessing upon the gathering. The evening sessions continued throughout the week. Able and convincing papers were read by the different visitors. Among the more interesting papers was the one on "The Care of the Patient's Teeth During Pregnancy," by the young dentist of Waco, Texas, Dr. J. L. Cockrill, Dr. N. T. Wallis, dentist of Fort Worth, also read an excellent paper. No paper read before the convention, however, was more interesting than the one on "Tuberculosis," by the well-known Negro specialist of San Antonio, Texas, Dr. D. J. Starns. The feature of the occasion and the lecture which drew a crowd to St. James' A. M. E. Church that filled it as auditorium, was the effort of Dr. D. H. Williams of Chi A. B. CHAS. HENRY PHILLIPS, JR. B.P., M.D. CHAS. HENRY PHILLIPS, JR. B.P., M.D. cagoe, on "Crushing Injuries to the Extremities." It was illustrated throughout, and though highly technical, the vast audience showed its appreciation and grasped by frequent outbursts of applause. Aside from these, and other lectures and papers, the most interesting and at the same time the most helpful feature of the meeting was the work of Dr. Williams, the foremost surgeon of his race and country. For days nearly every train that entered Dallas brought colored doctors from all over the State to see the distinguished surgeon operate. They saw him manipulate the knife in several tedious and hard operations and greeted him warmly. Nearly two dozen patients from different sections of the State and the South were here and operated upon without a single death. There were a number of abdominal sections and a variety of tumors and cancers removed. One of his most interesting cases was the removal from the side of a man's face of a tumor the size of an ordinary fist. Aside from the forty or fifty out of town doctors, all of the city physicians, including a goodly number of the leading white surgeons of Dallas, some-connected with the facilities of the white medical schools of this city, were there to honor and observe the colored surgeon. With one accord they declared him the absolute master of the situation and a surgeon with no superiors. Dr. Williams was highly pleased with his visit to the State and left the early part of the week for Natalville, Tevin, where he spends some time at the Meharry Medical College. Friday night finished his activity in Dallas, and 300 or 400 of the leading colored citizens of Dallas and the State congratulated at the Majestic Hill at the great banquet given in honor of Dr. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1908 Learn to Read People You Meet No life is prepared to fight its battles without the knowledge this school imparts.

Hawkins was master of ceremonies and acquired himself nicely. Toasts were given by President Blackshear, of Prairie View, and Prof. N. W. Hauley and Hon. William McDonald. The speech of the evening, however, was the introductory remarks of Dr. Chas. Henry Phillips, Jr., the brilliant young physician of Tyler, Tex. Dr. Phillips is one of the three of the nine colored applicants to pass the recent State Board of Texas. He is the eldest son of Bishop C. H. Phillips, of Tennease, and a recent graduate of Meharry Medical College. His speech was logical as well as witty and was loudly applauded when he referred to Dr. Williams as the "foremost surgeon of the race; the man of the hour; the distinguished colored-citizen of Chicago, and the honored guest of the present association." Dr. Williams responded in happy style. Dr. Bluitt took him for a ride in his new electric auto. Dr. Williams was the guest while in the city of the latter gentleman, the widely-known Negro surgeon of the Southwest, the leading practitioner of Dallas, owner and surgeon-in-chief of the Bluitt sanitarium. All the operations performed by Dr. Williams took place at the Bluitt sanitarium, which is one of the largest and most finely-equipped institutions of its kind south of the Ohio River. The surgical staff consists of Dr. B. B. Bluitt, surgeon-in-chief; Drs. R. T. Hamilton, F. A. Bryan, Frank J. Hawkins, John I. Welch, A. L. Runyon and all the city physicians of color. The next session of the association, which is next fall, will be held in Houston, Texas. Among the more prominent visitors to the session just closed were: Drs. Humphries, Drake, Diggs, Starns, Ferrrell, Shepard, Moore, Warren, Whitty, Jamison, Roberts, Townsend and Dr. Geo, P. Craig, of the Craig Chemical Co., Muskegee, Okla. Dr. Craig is a young colored pharmacist and recently put upon the market an excellent tonic—Op-Pru-Vivurnias. Many thanks were tendered: Dr. Geo, W. Lemnis, president of the Lacro Club, for the management of the banquet; to Drs. Blhuit, Hamilton, Bryan, Hawkins, Welch, Runyan and Penn, in particular, and the citizens in general, for the excellent way in which the convention was received. The association marked a new epoch in Negro surgery, and made a lasting impression upon Dallas citizenship. Evidence was this of the fact that the Negro doctor is advancing and advancing rapidly.

TAFT AND SHERMAN. The overwhelming election of Taft and Sherman is nothing short of a great victory and splendid compliment for the Negro citizen. The coming to power of these lifelong, friends of the colored race, pledged to the enforcement of the amendments to the Constitution in LERTER and spirit means a triumphant boon to the cause of equal rights. The success of the Republicans in West Virginia, we believe, has put an effectual end to the mad and un-American career of Negro disfranchisement. The election returns of the border and pivotal States from New York to Kansas, where the Negro has the balance of power, pay high tribute to the broad-minded political judgment, conservative value and patriotism of the Negro citizen. The Republican party's friendship and Taft's uninching stand. North and South, for Negro rights and progress put the Negro under an obligation, which he has just repaid in a needed undivided support. Harried and harangued on a tender issue for upwards of two years, he relied upon the promises of protection to his rights. He chose the better part. Deep is the obligation of the Republican party to perform those promises. The great factor in race, progress of equal political rights must be the Negroes' possession now. Out of a heart full of hope and happiness the Negro race congratulates President and Vice-President, Taft and Sherman. RE-ELECTION OF GOVERNOR HUGHES. In the re-election of Governor Charles E. Hughes, of New York, the Negroes State and country especially re-ec. The tremendous moral effect of the success of the splendid executive of the Empire State, the mighty exponent of clean government and law enforcement, will echo from Maine to Mississippi. Every increase to the awakening sentiment against mob law and machine government gives added assurance to the Negro of his position and protection. The Negro's position in this State or State and National issues differed only in that, in the State there was a pseudo economic issue before him while in the nation he was confronted by a pseudo race issue. Many thousands of the Negroes of this State are directly or indirectly dependent upon the hotels and race tracks of the racing resorts, now suffering from the Governor's antigambling crusade. But when the moral issue arose as to whether the Negro should support the Republican upholder of the law or the Democratic machine candidate of the gamblers, the Negro again chose the party of his friends and of the law. The returns from the Negro centers in the metropolis speak more eloquent than words as to what part of the 70,000 Hughes majority the 60,000 Negro voters played. The cause of law and orders in this country has been advanced many strides by the re-election of Governor Hughes. THE A. M. E. CHRISTIAN RECORDER. A call for a meeting of the Publication Board is urgent for the following among other reasons: First, the changes in the department branch of the publication machinery can be handled by the board before a satisfactory readjustment and operation of the publication machinery can be handled by the board, which would have headquarters in which to do his work. The Church Extension secretary and editor of the Review, both having been removed from the church, are left which might be occupied by the editor through rental or otherwise, but this matter seems only determinable by the board's belief. The Recorder presides over the paper, but such has not been the case since June, the latter having been sold by the business manager and the former foregoing conditions, we again insist upon an emergency meeting of the board, and shall address an open letter to the president. Bishop Cliney, to the above end, made personal appeals in vain before. The above quotation from a recent issue of the Christian Recorder reveals the discreditable state of affairs of the formerly creditable organ of the great A. M. E. Church. We have been heartily sorry to note the Recorder's recent dwindle to a mere lifeless tract. We are not meddling. The affairs of the church are the concern of the entire race. Whatever touches the race is of interest to us. The largest and most powerful Negro church cannot afford to be so poorly represented. The primary object of such a church organ is not to make money but to spread religious influence and solidify the race and church. The A. M. E. Church, like other denominations, must provide adequate means for its publications. Whatever the reasons for the decline of the Christian Recorder we trust and urge that the church will speedily restore it to its former rp spectable self. CROAKERS AND THE NEGRO For more than two years, Negro croakers have put the political capacity of the Negro race to the test. Misguided pesasimists, hungry grafters and political pirates eagerly and early seized the discharge of the soldiers at Brownsville and sought through appeals to prejudice and passion to turn the Negro from the party of his friends. Losing no opportunity to disturb with their un-American "Remember Brownsville," they have reflected on Negro intelligence, they have discouraged many white friends of the race and they have disgusted sensible Negroes. Taking no thought of the future of their race, they have sought to make Brownsville the red rag to the bull of Negro politics. But reckoning without the common sense of the hard-headed average Negro, they have now destroyed themselves. THE 'Age knows these delirious and disgraceful race-ghouls from Boston and New York to Ohio and Kansas. With us, doubtless, they believed that the soldiers' discharge was a mistake. But with us also, they knew that Brownville was no race issue. Charitable as possible under the circumstances, we confess our impatience with Negro men, who would sacrifice their race for selfish graft or in childish resentment. In the self destruction which these croakers of the race have met in the election of Taft, the Negro race rigidly benefits. The average Negro standing firm, untouched by the fierce and persistent storm of sentiment has demonstrated again his capacity for equal citizenship. The average Negro, anchored well by his mother-wit to the stable moorings of progress, is the mainstay of this generation, the producer of the next, the hope and salvation of the race. TENNESSEE IN THROWS OF MOB LAW. The prominence of the night-riders revealed by the confession of Ted Burton in Tiptonville and the damage suit of a sufferer, Henry Bennett, of Louisville, Kentucky, together with the purpose of the organization in Tennessee as revealed by its by-laws to drive all Negro farm labor and residents out of the country, show how near many sections of the South are to the Ku Klux outlawry of reconstruction days. The vigorous crusades against the night-riders now being waged by Governor Patterson, of Tennessee, and Governor Wilson, of Kentucky, have caused a cessation, if only temporary, to the depredations of the cowardly outlaws. The blood of even more of the prominent white citizens may be needed as the price of the South's atonement. This entire country will soon learn with Governors Patterson and Wilson that mob law for black citizens entails mob law for white citizens and mob law for the next generation of citizens. MOUND BAYOU BIG IN POLITICS The only colored man, so far as we know, who is listed as a Republican Presidential elector in all the country is J W. Francis, President of the Bank of Mound Bayou, Mississippi. Mr. Francis is a hard-headed business man and has been selected for this important honor because of his high standing as a citizen and business man. Honorable Charles Banks, cashier of the same bank, was selected by the Mississippi Republicans to represent them on the committee to notify the Vice-Presidential nominee of his nomination by the Chicago convention. The little Negro town of Mound Bayou seems to be taking good care of itself. In another column of THE ACE we publish this week the program of the Cleveland Association for Colored Men for work during the present fall and winter. It has for its object the varied interests of the colored people of Cleveland. The meetings are held every-Sunday afternoon. What Cleveland is doing in this respect should be done by other cities throughout the country. We congratulate most heartily the leaders of our race in Cleveland who have organized and are carrying out this excellent program. --- We extend our felicitation to the Hon. Frank H. Hitchcock, Hon. William L. Ward, Mr R. V. Ollahan, Mr Elover Dover and all the other able assistants of the National Committee on their splendid management of the campaign and the great victory achieved. --- If your community has not a woman's club one should be organized this fall or winter. There are many interests relating to the progress of the Negro race which a woman's club can push forward in the best manner. These interests to the economic, educational religious and political pro- ace. A well organized, club in every com- munity would be a great boon. Should you desire to organize and have not sufficient information, you can correspond to Jess R. C. Carter, the president of the National Association of Colored Women's Club, New Bedford, Mass., who will furnish all information necessary. notoriously, money or to air tads and crankly notions. The principles for which they contend will some day be recognized and practiced, but it will be in the distant future. It is good that there is a voice that fears not to cry aloud for the full motion and their political action for the protection of society. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. Ho, Comrades! Four years more of peace, plenty and progress. Let us keep on plugging away. Bryan, the most clinging and seductive nightmare that ever sat upon the mind of the American public, has vanished through his own hot-alr. The "Prince of Peace" came unto his own, and his own received him not. History repeats itself. The two individuals in this country to whom congratulations are due, and be-lated are Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Negro. These, by their strenuous and stubborn Republicanism, have made President Taft and Governor Hughes possible. The Negro who advocated the election of Bryan must hang his head in everlasting shame to find that the only people who agreed with him are those who disfranchise and oppress his race. With an apparent contempt for pessimists, black and white, America moves on. The world is not out of joint. The pessimists are simply dislocated. As we go to press, the Southern white papers have not learned the facts. Like the pursued African ostrich, which sticks it head in the sand, because it can see nobody it thinks nobody sees it. No! Massachusetts went Republican by 100,000 majority. What is more, the Negro wards of Boston went Republican by unusual majorities. And yet the Zion Bishop, Right Reverend Reverdy Cassius, and the "editor of the Boston Mudgery" have been making Boston a hosted of Republican revolt. Oh, well! friends that accounts for it. A combination of Boomerangs. Sam" Courtney and "Bill" Lewis up "Bosting" are sharpening their knives in unholy glee! Take your time, boys. Have a little pity; we plead for them. They know not what they do. The next man who says to you "I told you so," don't hit him. Just say. Taffy. Rector William, Not on Committee, Against Taft. Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: In your issue of October 15th you publish a news item dated "Kansas City, Mo., October 12," under the caption "Make On His Western Trip, in which reference is made to Miafa, visit to Omaha. In the Omaha item, it is stated that "On the general committee which entertained the distinguished visitor were the following: Rev. T. W. Wright, Rev. John Albert Williams, etc." I do not know who is responsible for the article, and I am not particularly corrected in it beyond the point of correcting the information therein given concerning myself. Being a priest and not a politician, I have carefully and consistently refrained during my seventeen years' residence in Omaha from taking any active part in partisan politics. I do not serve on political reception committees or anything of the sort. I was not honored with an invitation to serve on the Taft committee, and, as is my custom, I would have promptly declined such an invitation been extended. I make it a point of conscience and duty to study the issues before the country and vote according to my convictions. These convictions have always constrained me to vote for men and measures rather than for party. Beyond this I take no active part in politics, local or national. If asked, I never hesitate to state where I stand as to men or measures. I am never afraid to be counted and will not knowingly allow my offender to be misrepresented. I am not afraid to be put out for my distinguished fellow Nethrakan, William Jennings Bryan. As the article in question misrepresents my general attitude toward political gatherings and meetings and my personal convictions as to my duty concerning my vote at the present time, you will favor me by publishing this correction. Moreover, the article seems to be peculiarly biased inasmuch as several prominent Afro-American citizens of worth, ability and standing in this community, who did serve on the reception committee and are enthusiastic Taft men are apparently studiously ignored, and others, who are obscure or unworthy persons, with one or two notable exceptions, are given undue and wholly undeserved prominence. Joseph A. Sauer William Rector Church of St. Philip the Deacon, Omaha, Neb. October 21. Henderson on the Situation. To the Editor of The Ac In the light of the present stormy and sinister utterances of a few Negroes who stand on pedestals, it seems almost a misfortune that the Negro is a giver whose suffrage is of commanding importance in perhaps one or two States. In this case, the race, as a whole, is same and the same in its political alliance, yet it must bear the bitter and unreasoning and unreasonable utterances of a few misguided men. That in one or two instances these men are sincere, there can be no doubt. They are as sincere as was Garrison or John Brown, but they are mixed up with and lost among a set of men are not sincere. They are contending against great principles to the advocacy of the common will, willingly sacrificing money, time and life, but they are mixed up with men who consort with them simply to obtain notoriety, money or to air fads and cranky notions. The principles for which they contend will some day be recognized and practiced, but it will be in the distant future. It is good that there is a voice that fears not to cry aloud for the full rights of the race, but it is also good that there are leaders who know what is expedient. The race has a long journey yet to make along the rough road of social and economic progress; it has many serious deficiencies to correct and there are many stern prejudices upon the part of people who are to be ameliorated before the conditioning that should exist will exist. A political can do no more to bring this about than can the constitutional amendments. The advance of the race to its place among all other citizens is not to be forced by law nor by arms, but must depend upon actual advancement, inch inch, day by day, and year by year. It was much further forward than it was in the past it was represented in Congress. It its ahead in wealth, culture, intelligence and social and economic efficiency. If Taft is not elected, it will not be the fault of the colored voters. If he is elected, he can only be the President of the whole nation and cannot throw down all other interests simply to champion the cause of the Negro. He can only do what a President of the whole people can consistently do for a class of citizens. The race must not be passive it must be appropriately forward. M. Masseyess ROOSEVELT PROCLAIMS THANKS GIVING. Namese Thursday, November 26—Pleads for High Ideals. WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—In his annual proclamation issued at the White House to-night naming Thursday, November 26, as Thanksgiving Day, President Roosevelt says, in part: "Year by year this nation grows in strength and worldly power. During the century and a quarter that has elapsed since our entry into the circle of indebted peoples we have grown and prospered in things to a degree never known before, and not now known in any other country. The fifteen colonies which strangled along the seacoast of the Atlantic and were hemmed in but a few miles west of tidewater by the Indian-hunted wilderness have been transformed into the mightiest Republic which the world has ever seen. Its domains stretch across the continent from one to the other of the two greatest oceans, and it exercises more alike in the Arctic and tropic realms. The growth in wealth and population has been the growth in territory. Nowhere else the world is the average of individual comfort and material well-being as high as in our fortunate land. "For the very reason that in material well-being we have thus abounded, we give it to the Almighty to show equal moral and spiritual things. With a nation that is so divided, who make up a nation, material well-being is an indispensable foundation. But the foundation avails nothing by itself. That life is wasted, and worse than wasted, which is spent in piling, or more wasted, those things which minister merely in the pleasure of the body and to the power that rests only on wealth. "Upon material well-being as a foundation must be raised the structure of the lofty spirit of the spirit if this nation is properly to fulfil its great mission and to accomplish all that we so ardently hope and desire. The things of the intellect better, but best of all are the soul; for, in the nation as in the individual in the long run it is character that counts. We use, therefore, as a people, our force. Our resolve against evil and with broad charm with kindness and good well toward all men, but with unhilching determination tosuite down strong, strive with all the strength that is given us for righteousness in public and in private life." GOY, NORTHEN ON NIGHT RIDERS To the People of Georgia: With deep and anxious concern, I most respectfully call your attention to an alarming news items from Union, City, Team. "Two lawyers are synced by night riders. Masked men drag Colonel Taylor and Captain Rankin from Tennessee host. Ten thousand dollars reward for Tennessee Governor. Taylor and Rankin were damned because they secured control of famine. Reeffoot Lake and prevented people who live near the lake from fishing." This outrage, committed in a neighborhood State, is hung the logical evolution of the lawlessness and crime that have dominated our section, unchallenged and unbindered, for the past forty years and more. Soon after the Civil War, because we thought we saw no other response, we were under masks, to lychee Negroes for a painful criminal outrage. Soon thereafter we knew away the masks, because we were under masks, but harder nor challenged by the officers, the law. Now, in the open light of midday, we repeat this lawlessness when over the mob sees it to defy the law. From that crime by the mob we have gone quite a long step forward, as the logical evolution of such unchallenged lawlessness, and we begin, under masks, to lynch prominent and useful white men and openly defy the courts and the law of the land to punish if they dare. This happens because the lawless have grown very strong in numbers and public contempt, and we dead asleep, that a lynching of a white man or a Negro will take place wherever and whenever the mob says the criminal act shall be perpetrated. Who can now forget till the future of our civilization if the people continue silent under these damnable outrages? No man can measure the damaging and widespread influence of an open and desperate defiance of the law, whether perpetrated in the lynching of a respectable white man or a criminal Negro. Our civilization is built upon the observance of law and whenever the law is defied, the law is threatened and the security of the people is alarming danger. Once give the mob the way for any offence whatever and the way will be open, wide open, for all defiance of the law. The matter is now plainly up to the people and not exclusively up to the officers of the law. Officers of the law are but human, and some of them are out, quite as much for their own protection and their political advancement as for the protection of society against crime and lawlessness. If order is maintained, the people in organized capacity must speak of open and pronounced deliverances, or we will soon reach the intolerable necessity to have supplant the courts and the law and mind that a mob of law-abiding citizens shall murder the mobs of the criminal classes so that we may have peace and order in the community. In the minds of a great many people it already seems we have no need for courts for the proper enforcement of the law. What a spectacle for the advanced civilization of the twentieth century! In repeat, if we are made safe and secure, in pursuit of our business, the people, in our capacity as well as individuals, must rebel and bring to punishment all classes, white and black, without distinction, and with fearless presentation, demand the observance of law. Shall the lawless, without public rebuke and speedy and prompt punishment, hinder or destroy the legitimate business of any citizen, white or black, by which he supports himself and those dependent in his hand? Shall night riders now invade his home? Shall he have invaded others, and close down the barn burn the property and murder the owners only because the authority and the will of the mob are to be supreme? As a citizen, ready to do my duty in this matter, as in all others, I appeal to all the good, law-abiding citizens of Georgia in this time of our danger and serious apprehension to stand out in the open and positively demand the absolute observance and maintenance of law as the security for our persons, our homes, our state and our civilization. In Georgia there are eighty-three counties organized and armed leagues for the maintenance of law and order. I make appeal to these public-spirited citizens in the name of the State to make such public deliverance as well arrest the attention of the law-abiding throughout the State to the necessity for a strong, outspoken and pronounced public sentiment that will restore our courts to complete authority and all others of the healthy and abiding public conscience as will encourage their highest enforcement of the law. The demand now be come absolutely imperative upon good citizen, and no good man will decline to do his duty in this time of apprehension. W. J. NORTHEN Voters Were Active in Nineteenth Assembly District. In the Nineteenth Assembly District the Negro voters displayed more than ordinary interest during the campaign. Although there are not such a number of Negro voters in the district the Republican Negro was appointed poll clerk. John A. Sturges was one of the most active of the young Negro voters. ASSOCIATION OF COLORED MEN Organization Formed in Cleveland for Interest of Race. CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 2.—The Cleveland Association of Colored Men, organized to advance the varied interests of the colored people of Cleveland, has formed an organization, known as the Sunday Afternoon Lyceum, beginning October 4, 1908, and extending to March 28, 1909. It has been arranged to have a series of addresses of one kind and another, which should do much to help the colored people of this city. The Lyceum will meet each Sunday afternoon at 3:30. There will be special music on each program, with extraordinary features occasionally. The announcement of the place will be made each week in advance by card and through the papers. Everybody is cordially invited, especially strangers in the city; those who are employed at other places on Sunday and those who are tempted to attend the afternoon amply. The programs are planned to be of general interest and benefit and are morally uplifting as well as educational. The calendar is subject to slight changes. The calendar announcements so far are as follows: REPUBLICANS CARRY THIRTY STATES a small majority. J. L. Bristow is the Republican candidate for Senator, and H. P. Farrelly is the Democratic candidate. Taft has carried Maryland beyond doubt. In the sections of the city where merchants and business men predominate Bryan fell far behind Parker's vote tour years ago. From present indications Taft's majority will not be less than 6,000; and it is likely to far exceed that. There was a Taft landslide in Massachusetts, his plurality being 108,000, as against 92,076 plurality for Roosevelt in 1904. Draper, Republican for Governor, won by 50,000 plurality. The Republicans also elected their State ticket and the usual majority of members of both branches of the Legislature. Taft has carried Michigan by a plurality of probably 100,000. No United States Senators are to be elected this year. The State Legislature will be overwhelmingly Republican. Meager returns from Montana and incomplete returns from Butte indicate that Taft has carried the State by a good plurality. Pray, Republican, is re-elected to Congress, and Donlan, Republican, re-elected Governor. The Legislature will be Republican. Taft carried North Dakota by 30,000, and the entire Republican State tichot is elected with the State Legislature 75 per cent. Republican. Taft has carried New Hampshire by 19,000. The result of the vote for the Governor is in doubt, with the lead in favor of Quinby, Republican, by about 1,000. Currier and Sulloway, both Republican, have been elected Congressmen by the usual pluralities. The Legislature is Republican. Taft has carried Multnomah county by 8,000, which will give him, it is estimated, a plurality of 23,000 in Oregon. Pennsylvania has gone for Taft by a plurality of nearly 400,000. A heavy vote was polled throughout the State owing principally to the many warm contests in the legislative districts. The Republicans hold their own in the Congressional districts if they do not increase their representation. There is practically no change in the Republican representation in the Legislature. In Philadelphia the National ticket carried the city by about 125,000 plurality. The plurality for Taft in Pittsburg and Allegheny county is 40,000. Roosevelt in 1904 carried the county by 69,000. Complete returns in Vermont give Taft 39,592, Bryan 11,688 and Hisgen 710. Taft's plurality is 27,904. Four years ago Roosevelt had 40,677 and Parker 9,800, a Republican plurality of 20,677. The figures indicate a probable plurality of 16,000 for Taft in Rhode Island. This is about the plurality given Roosevelt in 1904. Sioux Falls on the referendum has voted against the new law requiring one year's residence before suing for divorce, but the feeling throughout the State is so strong that the indications are that the new law has been carried. Returns from every part of Washington indicate a plurality of at least 40,000 for Taft, and the State Republican ticket. Cosgrove, Republican, is elected Governor, Humphrey and Cushman, Republicans, are returned to Congress. Judge Poindexter, Republican, will represent the Third District in Congress, succeeding Wesley L. Jones, Republican, who is certain of being the next United States Senator. The Legislature will be overwhelmingly Republican, which insures the election of Jones to the Senate to succeed Levi Ankney. Unofficial returns from West Virginia indicate a plurality of 28,000 to 30,000 to Taft. Glasscock, the Republican nominee for Governor, has been elected by a smaller vote. Taft's plurality in Wyoming is at least 3,000 and may reach 4,000. Mondell, Republican, is re-elected by a plurality of about 4,000. The Independence party polled less than 500 votes. The Legislature is overwhelmingly Republican, but the Senatorship is not involved. Debs polled less than 1,200 votes. Wisconsin gives Taft approximately 100,000, against 140,000 for Roosevelt four years ago. Governor Davidson, Republican, is re-elected by 60,000. The State Legislature is Republican by about 5 to 1 and will re-elect Senator Isaac Stgphenson. ANTI-TAFTITES THWARTED. Were Not Permitted to Hold Meeting at Zion A. M. E. Church, New Haven, New Haven, Nov. 3.—Last Tuesday evening week an attempt was made by a few persons to hold an anti-Taft meeting in Zion A. M. E. Church, but the plans of the originators of the meeting went amiss. It had been advertised that the Constitutional League of Connecticut was to hold a big political rally in Zion A.M. E. Church Word reached the parish in the meeting was to be a Democratic rally and the committee that formerly waited at the pastor was sent for, but failed to show up. On Tuesday evening Rev. Reverdy C. Ramsom, of New York City, intended to make the principal speech of the evening, but was prevented from addressing the audience when it was learned he was to talk against William H. L. Before the meeting was called to order, the trustees of the church asked Rev. Ramsom and a few others about the character of the meeting and were told anti-Taft. "No Democratic meeting can be held here tonight," Rev. Ramsom was told, and the prime movers left Zion A.M. E. Church found other quarters. When the people uttered they were to listen to anti-Taft utterances they refused to follow the speakers, but went home. As the result but few heard the speeches against Judge Taft. CLOSING RALLY IN WILMINGTON. Big Meeting Eld Friday Evening— Much Eld Funeralism. WILMINGTON, Oct. 31. The colored Republicans of Wilmington, Del, closed the campaign last Friday night with a nousing mass meeting at Old Fellow's Temple. Mr. Charles H. Colburn, who is the hustling leader of colored Republicanism, was most enthusiastic regarding the loyalty of the colored voters. Dr. Samuel G. Elliot was presented by Mr. Colburn as chairman of the meeting.

Court Decides In Favor of the Negro City. AMNISTON, Ala., Oct. 21.—Hobson City, one of the only exclusively Negro towns in the United States, is given back its autonomy as a result of a decision of Judge Thomas W. Coleman, of the Amniston City Court, declaring that the law enacted in the last session of the Alabama state legislature annexed Hobson City to Oklahoma and vault, and by his further refusal to dissolve the injunction restraining the exodus of Oxford from interfering with the office of the government of the Negro manhattanity. Hobson City came into existence shortly after Richmond P. Hobson sank the Mercerma, the place being named in honor of the Alabama Congressman. It elected its own mayor and city council, a population ranging between 300 and 500, when its identity was destroyed by the expansion of the city limits of Oxford, and its place assumed the control of the Negro town under the authority of an act of the Legislature. - Shortly after the town was annexed to Oxford, the Negroes employed lawyers to represent them and began a legal fight to regain their autonomy. Strangely enough the matter was brought into the courts by an effort of the Oxford authorities to enforce the operation of a "hog law" in Hoboken City. An injunction was sued against the Oxford authorities, the Negro town resumed its self-government and later a law was found in the title of the legislative act, resulting in Judge Coleman's decision.

WALTON LESTER A. WALTON IN VAUDEVILLE There is much rejoicing in some quarters because a few days ago a well-known vaudeville agent who handles small acts, and who was supposed to be "in right" at the United Booking offices, was suddenly told to pack his belongings and vamoose. White and colored performers appear joyful because this certain agent is no longer connected with the big vaudeville syndicate. The writer does not know very much, about the treatment accorded the white performers by this certain party, but we are aware that his business dealings with many colored performers were not beyond reproach. Unless it is, Ernest Hogan, Cole and Johnson, Avery and Hart are some of the large colored acts that appear in vaudewille, it seems that it is necessary for artists to secure booking through an agent and not direct with the office. Nine-tenths of the colored performers secure their booking through agents; but let them transact business only with reliable agents whose methods are legitimate in every respect. Booking agents are only entitled to five per cent. commission on the dollar, and should get no more unless they have a percuinary interest in an act. Let the variety performers boycott all agents who are not disposed to be on the square. Then you will be reflecting credit on yourselves and others. With much pleasure has the Ace Published for the past three weeks information about the colored vaudeville performers; for until a short time ago there were such a few of them working that news about what they were doing was as scarce as the proverbial hens teeth. Prospects did not appear any too rosette for the colored variety performer even a month ago, but we are glad to announce that the situation has, taken a sudden turn for the better. There are several reasons why the conditions are much improved, but the principal one is the smaller vaudeville houses throughout the East, particularly in New England, have been giving many colored acts a large amount of work lately. The United Booking people, known to the theatre-going public as the Keith-Proctor-Williams-Hammerstein combination, has booked more acts within the past three weeks than for many months. William Morris, while not disposed to send many colored acts to his big houses, has also hired a larger number, of them recently. But three-fourths of those out of work some weeks ago have not found employment through the action of the United Booking people or William Morris. It has been the smaller vaudeville houses not connected with the large syndicate that have come to the colored performers' rescue. Strange enough, the houses giving a large number of colored vaudeville performers work are making it hard for the large vaudeville houses. Moving pictures are associated with these theatres, and the price of admission is ten, twenty and thirty cents. Quite often the acts have to appear on the bill four and five times a day, which means double the work demanded by the management of the large houses. However, many of the best acts contract to give but two shows a day. It is pleasing to know that theatrical folks will not experience the hard times of last winter. Bert Murphy, of Murphy and Francis, has been experiencing a very busy time of it for the past ten days, and it is highly probable that in the future he will use more judgment when a controversy arises between him and the manager of the theatre regarding the spot he is to get on the bill. Week before last the team walked out of the Alhambra Theatre when told to open the show. Since then Murphy has been explaining to Percy Williams and the powers that be in the United office just how it happened. According to Murphy, before he signed a contract to play the Williams time it was, agreed that he was not to open the show; but when the bill was made out it was found that the first act to appear before the public after the overture was Murphy and Francis. After the evening's performance Murphy protested to the manager, who informed the male member of the team that the bill was not going to be changed. Then Murphy, and Francis made their exit from the Alhambra, never to return—at least that is what Percy Williams declared when he was informed of the actions of the colored act. So ever since Murphy has been using more logic than Mr. Jerome in his endeavor to convince the heads of the big theatrical syndicate that he was in the right. It was only last Monday that they showed signs of relenting, and it looked, for a time that Murphy and Francis were due to give five shows a day in another syndicate. But Percy Williams was touched (his heart, not his pocket,) and told the other managers to give Murphy and Francis another trial. So they will appear in New Brunswick, N. J., next week, and if they have to open the bill it is said that they will do so with gay hearts and beaming faces. Bert Murphy has been in the show business a long time. When Williams, and Walker years ago first came East and played at Koster and Biała, Murphy was appearing on the variety stage. As he has been in the business such a long time it is somewhat distressing to learn that he used such little judgment at the Alhambra Theatre. For many months business has not been what it should for the colored vaudeville artist, and they should be the last to make trouble at this time. We hope that the next time Murphy is dissatisfied with the spot given him he will think of that song—"Common Sense." "Red Moon" - Company - Grand Opera House, St. Louis, Mo.

DAN MICHAELS Of The Robinson Trio SEVENTEEN AND A STAR. After Being On Stage 21 Days Ann Murdock is Made Leading Lady. An actress who has had only twenty-one days' experience on the stage has just been made leading woman with Robert Edeness, who is now touring in the Eastern States in "The Call of the North." The new star is Ann Murdock who is only 17 years old. She was promoted last week to the place of leading woman in the Manager Henry J. Harris after he had witnessed several of her performances. Miss Murdock made her debut in "The Offenders," at the Hudson Theatre, in that play's run there recently. She had only a small part, but when Mr. Edeness went on the road with "The Call of the North," a more important role was assigned to her in that play. As a result of her efforts both Mr. Edeness and Mr. Harris were so impressed with Miss Murdock's acting that they offered her the position of leading woman. Miss Murdock was willing to try, and took the responsible part with the understanding that she should play it a week on trial, when, if her work was found satisfactory, the position should be permanent. Mr. Harris went to Reading, Pa. early this week to see Miss Murdock act, and when he returned later said he was satisfied that she was capable of playing the part assigned to her, and that he had signed the contract whereby she becomes Mr. Edelson leading woman for the rest of the season. Although never on the stage before her engagement in "The Offenders," Miss Murdock comes of an old theatrical family. Her father, John J. Coleman, was for many years manager of the American Theatrical Exchange, and her mother, Therese Degle, was one of the first leading women ever employed by Charles Prokman. Her grandfather, George Deagle, was fifty years ago, manager of Deagle's Varieties in St. Louis, where the late Joseph Jefferson, Sol Smith Russell, J. K. Emmett, and other celebrities played ABOUT THE ORIGINAL TOPSY. Recent Death of Mrs. George C. Howard Reginald Career of Others. Mrs. George C. Howard, famous as the original Topsy in the dramatized form of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" died several days ago at her home at 22 Putnam avenue, Cambridge. She had not been at all seriously ill, but had felt in a measure the effects of her age. Her maiden name was Caroline E. Fox, and she was born in Boston, March 10, 1829. She first appeared on the stage in children's parts at the old Tremont Theatre in this city, playing with Edwin Forrest, Charles and Fanny Kemble, J. R. Scott and other leading actors of that period. She later travelled throughout New England on concert tours with her brothers George L. Fox, James A. Fox, former mayor of Cambridge, and Charles K. Fox. The troupe was known as "The Fox Cildren." George was famous as a pantomimist and was the original "Humpty Dumpty." Mrs. Howard was one of the early members of the old Boston Museum Company. She, married George C. Howard in 1844. He was an actor and manager, and was the first one to produce in dramatic form Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's story. In the play Mrs. Howard was the original Topsy, and her daughter, Cordelia, was the original Eva, while her husband was the first one to play the part of St Clair. The play had its first performance on September 27, 1852, at Troy, N. Y., where Mr. Howard had his own theatre. It ran for a hundred consecutive performances, and was then taken to New York City, where at Purdy's National Theatre it had a run of 325 performances, something until then unknown in long run. The play was taken abroad in 1857, under the management of P. V. Barnum, and the Mary le bone Theave in London enjoyed great popularity. Mrs. Howard came to pay her original character of Topsy until last, in which year her husband died. It is related that when Mr. Howard was about to put on "Uncle Tom's Cabin" the ingenuity of "chumbersmold" as a woman playing a youthful part was then known, the actress in his company, to whom he had assigned the part of Topsy, finally refused at the last minute to black up. The actor-manager was at his wife and until his wife volunteered her services; it was largely by chance, therefore, that Mra. Howard act the character, which later became world-famous. Mra. Howard is survived by a daughter, Mra. E. J. Macdonald, who was the original Eva in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and two sons, Arthur L. Howard and Walter S. Howard, all of Cambridge. Black Pearl Nest Business and, good weather in the State of Florida continue—all that could be looked for—and the season from now on has indications of another record breaker. Our general direction is now southwest, through Georgia and Texas and Oklahoma, and as all the members of the company are in the best of health, nothing stands in the way of a pleasant journey and good performances. Sunday eyeing, October 25, Tult Whitney, comedian of the company, entertained the female members en route from Tampa, Fla., to Quincy, Fla. At 8:30 o'clock, the members of the "None Such Girls Social Club," under the management of Miss Ruby Taylor, the president, was represented by the members, elaborately dressed wearing their club colors across their shoulders. At intervals peals of music could be heard 'mid laughter and song, which was an enjoyable feature of the banquet. The girl quartette rendered several selections, concluding with the "Good Night Song," by the Girls None Such Quartette. Those present were: Irene Gaines, Daisy Brown, Marie Belle Tult, Sara Venable, Alexander, Theresa Burroughs, Sallie Byrd, Miss Vera Davanport. Ruby E. Taylor and Mr. Tult Whitney. Douglas Allen is acting in the capacity of manager in the absence of Mr. R. Voeckel. H. Gus Hall would like to hear from Florence Smiley, Gene King, Walter Hilliard and James Reed. Theatletic club, under the tutorship of Will A. Cook, is progressing swell, and a more healthy pastime could not have been more timely and beneficial. Upon our arrival in Moultrie, Ga., last Wednesday, Mr. Voeckel, our manager and owner, was called suddenly to New York City on account of the sudden death of his mother. A fitting tribute of sympathy was sent by Mme. Sisseretta Jones, and also from this company and the Dandy Dixie Minstrels, in which he is interested. J. W. HUTCHINSON DEAD One of the Famous Family of Singer During Civil War. LYNN, Mass., October 31—John W. Hutchinson, the last of the famous Hutchinson family whose temperance and abolition songs before the Civil War and during that conflict made their names known throughout the country, died at his home, High Rock, in this city to today. He was 77 years old, and a weakness of the heart due to increasing age caused death. The Hutchinson's home was in Milford, N.J. The family included sixteen children, of whom twelve were boys. Mr Ead good years and they quickly became popular when they began singing together in public. In the years before the Civil War they toured the country, but their greatest prominence was gained during the war, when by special permit from the War Department, they visited many of the U.S. camps and sang to the soldiers. Mr Hutchinson had long resided in this city, where from his fame and his patriarchal appearance, he was known as "The Bard of High Rock." JOHN H. HARRIS G.

Jerry and his "picks" attended Huber's Monday evening and were considered an "added attraction." The Majestic Trio opened at Butte, Mont. November 8, and is making its way to Washington. The Bradfords, after closing a successful week at the American, opened at the Orpheum, Boston, Monday. Vaudeville seems to be booming in Boston this season. There are fourteen vaudeville houses in the "Hub" city and all are playing colored acts. Clemont, Brown and Sheffal. Walter Robinson, Kid Rastus, the Jolly Prices, the Prampin Musical Four and other colored acts have appeared in that city within the past week. The "Croole Belles" are having great success in St. Petersburg. They went to Russia to remain six weeks and have been there four months. The act is one of the hits of the bill at the Aquarium, in St. Petersburg, where it will remain until it opens in Stuttgart, Switzerland, November 15, for fifteen days. Joe Moore's Minstrels continue to please at Hubers. The feature of the bill is the dancing and the make-up of members in the after-piece. Considerable laughter is produced in the minstrel first part, but some of the jokes are a little strong—at least they would be considered so further uptown. Nettie Stark, Annie Smith, Jimmie Worles, Sallie Lee and Mamie Furber have songs in the minstrel first part. Billy Copes, and Taylor and Taylor are in the olio.

Doctors Williams and Keany at Mohawaii NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 30.-For ten years Dr. Daniel H. Williams of Chicago has been spending a week each autumn in the city of Nashville, giving special lectures. in surgery to the students of Meharry Medical College, and operating upon difficult cases brought to him, for the purpose from the city of Nashville and many other points in the State. Dr. Williams's clinic is held in the Mercy Hospital connected with the Meharry Medical College. This hospital is presided over by Drs. R. F. Boyd, F. A. Stewart, and H. T. Noel, the pioneers in hospital and surgical work in the city of Nashville. It is not alone during Dr. Williams's clinic that good surgical work is done in this hospital, for the above-named physicians all through the school year do surgical operations that are a credit to the race to which they belong. During the past week no less than a dozen major operations—many of them among the most difficult and delicate known to surgery—have been successfully performed without a single fatality. This is highly gratifying, indeed, and the race should take great pride in the fact that in a hospital owned and controlled by Negroes, members of the race can be successfully operated on by Negro surgeons and cared for by Negro nurses. During Dr. Williams' earlier years at Meharry he recognized the need of an expert assistant to give the anesthetics for his operations. In 1903 he met Dr. Kenney, the resident physician of Tuskegee Institute, and induced Dr. Hubbard, the dean of Meharry Medical College to secure his services for that purpose. For the past four years Dr. Kenney has made annual visits to Nashville for this purpose and to give a course of lectures to the Meharry medical students on Anesthesia. His lectures and demonstrations have aroused most interest both on the part of physicians and the Meharry medical students in this hitherto much neglected branch of surgery and medicine, and several have expressed their intention of devoting themselves especially to this subject. On Wednesday night of this week Dr. Williams gave a public stereopicon lecture in the auditorium of the University on "Crushing Injuries of the Extremities." This is the paper which was read and illustrated by Dr. Williams at the recent meeting of the National Association of Colored Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, and was given for the benefit of the Meharry medical students by special request. The hall was packed with an appreciative audience. After Dr. Williams was through Drs. Stewart, Boyd and Roman of Nashville, Irving of Memphis, and Kenney of Tuskegee, made short addresses. Sheepshead Bay. N. N. The Misses Johnson, of Bath Beach, have returned after a long absence in Massachusetts. Jockey Cook, of Gravesend, is much improved from injuries received in a bad fall. Rev. R.

A gathering of the Island, Bath Beach and Sheepshead Bay forces made it evident that in union there is strength. Rev. Ronaster preached for the occasion from John, 3-16. Yonkern, N. Y.

The opening of Prof. Monsa's dancing class at the Lincoln Square Dancing Academy, 127-129 Columbus avenue, between 65th and 60th streets, was a big surprise to the gathering. Lincoln Square Dancing Academy is the most unique and up-to-date hall in Greater New York for a dancing class. The first patron was Mrs. Mary Jones, of 200 West 72nd street, followed by Mr. Ben Phillips, of 43 West 60th street, and Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Edwards, of 36 Felix street, Brooklyn. Then they came too fast to have their names taken. Most of the young ladies stopped in the restaurant part of the hall after leaving the ladies' dressing room, thinking it was the dancing hall, and kept Prof. Banks busy asking them up one night more. However, they were not the only ones fooled by the larger size of this part of the hall, for when the musicians came in, Mr. Thompson, the cornet player, and Mr. Jackson, the pianist of the New Amsterdam Orchestra, were fooled also. The main dancing hall is about 75 by 100 feet, has six large bay windows front and back, and is brilliantly lighted by a number of lights. Sixteen sets can dance with ample room. There was the usual harmony and good spirit as seem to prevail all of Prof. Mimm's affairs. Everybody seemingly has so much respect for him and his class. You need not be in any way backward about taking your wives, daughters or sweethearts to this academy, as order prevails always. There were about 200 or 400 people in attendance, and all enjoyed themselves to the highest. The dancing floor can't be beaten. There was also an unusual amount of music than is generally used by the dancing classes, and the sweet strains from the instruments delighted the souls of every one. It was, in fact, a regular ball. After the "Amsterdam" had played "Home, Sweet Home," a representative of THE AGE talked about five minutes with Mr. Mimm. About 120 people filed out, and there were one in sight within a very short space of time. The cars going in all directions account for that.

A. to Have Four-Story Building WILL be Erected Solely by Negro Workingmen and to Have all the Latest Improvements WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 31.—Nothing shows the advance of the Negro race more prominently than the recent award of the construction of an elaborate building at the nation's capital. The building is being built by the Young Men's Christian Association for the use of Negroes, and the work was competed for by both white and Negro competitors. The contract was obtained by A. H. Bolling, a very successful Negro builder, who will employ all Negro labor, as far as that may be possible, in the erecting and finishing of the structure. W. S. Pittman, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, is the architect of the building, his plans being accepted over white and colored competitors. The building is to be four stories and basement high, and is to cover its entire lot, 63x155 feet, with the exception of the light and ventilation. spaces required by the District regulations. Materials of construction are to be pressed brick, ordinary brick, stone, galvanized iron and steel structural work. It is to be largely fireproof, with concrete and tile floors throughout the basement and other parts of the building where waterproof finish is required. Six thousand dollars will be spent in re-enforcing the building throughout with steel columns, grout and beams. The entrance of the building, including the approach, is to be constructed entirely of limestone and granite, and finished in the vestibule with marble and terrazo floors. The entire basement is to be taken up with the various sports and the physical department of the association, including such things as billiard room, bowling alleys, swimming pool, barber shop, locker rooms for men and boys, dressing rooms, showers, toilets, Turkish baths, closets, storerooms, attendant's office, boiler room and fuel vault. The first or main floor shows careful study and arrangement of such things as the secretary's office, which commands practically the entire floor, and the board of directors' room, the reading-room, social room, hat and coat room, and main gymnasium (about 42 by 60 feet), a small special exercise room, the directors' office, a dining-room with atjoung kitchen, and the grand stairway leading to the second floor. The main floor is well lighted and ventilated through natural methods, and is heated, as is the entire building, with a steam heating radiating system. The second floor is devoted almost entirely to the educational feature of the association, and contains also the boys' department, which is reached by a side entrance especially provided for this purpose. On this floor is also a women's retiring room and a large lecture room, with provision to throw the same into four recitation rooms by means of horizontal rolling partition design and motionless track of the gymnasium can be reached from this floor. From this floor, as well as from all other floors, ample provision has been made for the immediate exit of patrons by means of fire escapes in case of fire. Both the third and fourth floors are given over entirely to dormitory use. They each contain, aside from bedrooms of various sizes, a large and well-lighted and well-ventilated toilet and shower bathroom, sanitary and waterproof in every way; also closet for each room and a separate room. Each bedroom to be well lighted and independently heated, and provided in every way with the comforts and conveniences found in all modern and up-to-date buildings of this character. George A. Myers Entertains: CLEVELAND, O. Nov. 2.—One of the handsomest dinners ever given in Cleveland was that of last Sunday at the beautiful home of Hon. George A. Myers in honor of Auditor Ralph W. Tyler, Hon. William H. Clifford, of Washington, and Hon. Charles A. Cottrill, Deputy Recorder of Toledo, friends of long standing of Mr. Myers. The table was a dream of exquisiteness, the menu the acme of the cuisine department, and the assemblage a congenial set of clever men of brilliant parts in the business and political world. As an entertainer Mr. Myers is acknowledged to be par excellence, and his beautiful home a charming retreat for well-known Negroes who come to Cleveland. After the delicate menu had been dispatched, with a drink in the cup, the charming porcelain toasts were responded to by the gentlemen who surrounded the bouquettously spread and beautifully decorated festal board. In addition to the guests of honor and the host there were present. Mr. Walter B. Wright, secretary to the president of the Nickle Plated Railroad; Mr. W. H. Hunley, known from ocean to ocean as "Prince" Hunley; Mr. Charles Gordon, Mr. Charles Smith, Mr. Will Green, Mr. Judson Melvin and Mr. Richard Henderson. The conversation that ensued around the table and the roasts that followed made the affair a veritable "feast of reason and a flow of soul." The dinner was a brilliant and charming assemblage of Ohioans who do things and who count in life's equation. New Wonder of the World. There are six of these "Wonlers" and they interest colored people everywhere. The first is called Complexion Wonder. It gives any color skin a naturally lighter coloring. The skin itself becomes lighter colored every time it is applied; then there is a Wonder Comb. to straighten kinky hair. This comb costs but 60 cents and will last a lifetime. Another one is called Wonder Uncurl, a preparation which keeps hair straightened, lustrous and pliable so as to dress well. Wonder Hair-Grow is a fertilizer for the scalp, which feeds the hair so it will grow longer, exactly as you put fertilizer in the soil to make cornstalks grow longer. A splendid preparation is Odor Wonder, which consists of a powder and a fine toilet water. This preparation will not only prevent perforation but will also be pleasant perfume; colored men and colored women who use these wonders will always look well-groomed and be acceptable in any social circle, where business or pleasure may invite them.

THE BROWNSVILLE BRAGGART. Capt. Bill McDonald, Gun Fighter, Gets Religion. AUSTIN, Tex. Nov. 1.—At a revival meeting in progress here Capt. Bill McDonald, the noted gun fighter and former ranger commander confessed his sins and is now one of the most active workers at the meeting. Capt. McDonald, it is said, was largely instrumental in prejudicing the President's mind against the members of the Twenty-fifth Regiment at the time of the Brownsville shooting-up some two years ago. In a recent magazine article McDonald pretended to tell the "truth about Brownsville," in which he endeavored to prove that the United Officers in use of vulgar epithets and fulsome praise of his own braggadocio. If there is anything genuine about the religion, he has so suddenly acquired he should include that story in his sins confessed and tell the real truth, if he knows it, about Brownsville.

BY-LAWS OF NIGHT IBBERS CAMP NEMO, REILFORT LAKE, Tenn. Oct. 31.—What, perhaps, are the most astounding revelations in regard to the night rider situation in Tennessee have been furnished by the constitution and by-laws of the night riders, secured by officers to-day and turned over to the grand jury. They declare the terrorists intend to drive all Negro farm laborers and Negro residents from the country. The constitution and by-laws, among other things, it is said, provide that no bank or trust company shall be permitted to make any loans, large or small, at a greater interest than 6 per cent., and, further, that after the first day of July; 1909, no farmer shall be allowed to employ any colored help on his farm, and that all Negroes shall be notified to leave the country under penalty of death; that all merchants shall sell their goods and merchandise at not to exceed 10 per cent. profit, and otherwise regulating all wages to be paid by the farmer for help, and regulating the price of corn, cotton and all farm products. Gov. Patterson had a number of suspects and witnesses before him, among them Frank Ferriner, who made a confession Wednesday night. Ferriner is kept under close guard. It is believed he will escape severe punishment because of turning State's evidence, but nothing has been promised him. The weeding out of prisoners has begun, and thirty-five who have been able to give satisfactory accounts of themselves were released to-day. P. C. Ward, proprietor of the hotel at Walnut Log, was released this morning. Nothing important was obtained from him. It is reported to-day on what is considered good authority that the constitution and by-laws of the night riders were secured and brought here yesterday and will be placed in the hands of the grand jury.

The lot cost $10,000, and $10,000 more will be for the furnishing of the building, bringing the upkeep an even $10,000. Of this amount $50,000 is assured, John D. Rockefeller having given $25,000 to cover a like sum subscribed by the Washington people, and various devices, and some will come from the revenues from the building as soon as it can be used. Secretary Johnson and his aids are confident that the money will be spent when the citizens of the community begin to see "something" doing in earnest.
