DRAMATIC INCIDENT Republican Club Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria During Speech Points Out White Chum of Slavery Days, Now a Well Known Lawyer "There is Nothing so hardilest as That Form of Slavery That Tomps One to Eat Another on Account of Color" During the Lincoln Dinner of the Republican Club at the Waldorf-Astoria last Friday evening, Booker T. Washburn, who was a guest of the occasion, figured in a highly dramatic incident. While addressing the large and select guests in the Jacqueline bushost, Abraham Lincoln"—Dr. H. Burroughs, a well-known New York attorney, who sat at the President's table, and said, "I am a man of Joseph Burroughs, who was my owner down in Franklin County. Van when I was a slave. He and I played together as children together, and I was the white boy, I was the black boy, on that old plantation. "He liked me then and he like me now. But until this week I have not met Ab Burroughs since one day away back in 1863 it came to my frightened sars that old "Massa" Burroughs, his grandfather and my owner, had been killed. "There was a skirmish and the Federal troops, I was told, had shot him. I was frightened. I rushed home and took my hearts were broken. That is a long while ago. But here is Ab and here am I, and we meet to night at a banquet heard in the greatest city of the birth of the man who set us both free. I mean that. Abraham Lincoln set Mr. Burroughs free when he set me free." During his speech Dr. Washington was asked if he would be drawn by all throughout the entire address. When he concluded his address arose in response. Following is Dr. Washington's adress: You ask that: which he found a piece of property and turned into a free Ameri- can citizen speak to you to night-on-night or to teach you about ancestry or training to be your teacher night, for, as I have stated, I was a slave. I have knowledge of Abraham Lincoln came in this way: I was awakened early one morning before the dawn of day as I lay wrapped in a bundle of ropes and prayed to God by the prayers of my mother, just before leaving for Her day's work, as she was kneeling over my body earnestly praying for her success and that one day she and her boy might be free. You give me the opportunity here this evening to celebrate and the nation's answer to that prayer. Lincoln Lyca To-Day inside of the prison bars and the prisoner on the outside. "As an individual, grateful as I am to Lincoln for freedom of body, my gratitude is still greater for freedom of soul — the liberty which permees one to live in the world, to permit sectional or racial hatred to drag down, to warp and narrow his soul. "The signing of the Emancipation Proclamation was a great event, and yet it was a great event that was greater and more momentous. We who celebrate this anniversary should not forget that the same pen that gave freedom to four millions of African slaves at the same time struck shackles from the same hands as millions of Americans of another color. "In any country, regardless of what its lawsuacy, wherever people act upon it, the people are the man in the good of another, there slavery exists. Wherever in any country the whole people feel that the happiness of all is the happiness of the least, there freedom is the kind. In abolishing slavery, Lincoln proclaimed the principle that, even in the most extreme cases, the kind of the welfare of each is still the good of all. In re-establishing in this country the principle that, at bottom, the interests of humanity are the best of men's soul free spiritual bondage: he freed them to mutual helpfulness. Henceforth no man of any race, either in the North or in the South, is constrained to fear or hate his brother. "By the same token that Lincoln made America free, he pushed back the boundaries of freedom everywhere, gave the world the right to out the world, and re-established the dignity of man as man. By the same act that freed my race, he said to the civilized and the unfortunate man that every must be free, and that everywhere must be enlightened, and the Lincoln spirit of freedom and fair play will never cease to spread and grow in power throughout the world all men who know strength, and the truth shall make them free. Lincoln in his day was wise enough to recognize that which is true in the nature of slavery and in the nature of slavery and ignorance man renders the lowest and most costly form of service to his fellows. In a state of freedom and liberty Lincoln is the best and most helpful form of service. Slavery to Color Prejudice. "The world is fast learning that of all forms of slavery there is none that is so hurtful and degrading as that form of slavery which tempts one human being to kill, abuse, or color. One man cannot hold another man down in the ditch without remaining down in the ditch with him. One who goes through life with his eyes closed and his mind focused on the world is weak and circumscribed, as one who fights in a battle with one hand tied behind him. Lincoln was in the truest sense grave when he burned up one of the valley where his vision was marrowed and weakened by the fog and miasma, onto the mountains that he saw in the sun and in the mountains abled him to rattle all men at their true worth. Growing out of this anniversary season and atmosphere, may there crystallize a resolve throughout the nation that the American people will strive to live. "We owe, then, to Lincoln, physical freedom, moral freedom, and yet this is which we, as individuals, no matter of what race or nation, must recognize as due Abraham Lincoln, not for what he was but for what he did as a man. In his rise from the most objective poverty and ignorance to a position of high usefulness and power in the nation, he helped to teach us. In fighting his own battle up from obscurity and aquiler, he fought the battle of every other international war, and he helped to help up every other human who was down. People so often forget that it is every inch that the lowly man is in poverty, and every other man to get up. To-day throughout the world, because Lincoln lived, struggled and triumphed, every boy who is ignorant, is in poverty, and every other man to get up. To-day higher. His heart heats a little faster, his ambition to do something and he something is a little stronger, because Lincoln has its special lesson at this point in our career. In so far as life is natural, nature does dogged determination and courage努力 to avoid the super-final, courage to persistently seek the truth, courage to persistently finding the road for every people to travel. "As a race we are learning I believe in an increasing degree, that the best man is the best man. The best man is seeking to imitate him. Luke Lincoln the Negro race should seek to be simple, without bigotry and without ostentatious. There is great power in the best man. Great races are those that strive after a white man. We as a race man like a white man and not pretend to be what we are not. We should keep that one man degrade us as we exist ourselves, that of our race, worth no million. We should not distract often to be seen tried and tempted, but we should keep that freedom in the broadest and highest sense, has no meaning in the future. In the future the success of our race will be in preparation to the service that it renders to the world. In the long run the judge of race is the badge of son."

Negroes Not Permitted to Hear Lincoln Speeches Known Far and Wide as a Republican Club, Drew Celer Lins at Its Lincoln Celebration In the majority of instances, all prejudices were forgotten and good fellowship was in evidence at the Lincoln celebrations held throughout the country last Friday. The color line was, at least, temporarily forgotten, and at many of the white meetings several Negroes were asked to speak. One of the notable exceptions to the general rule came from a source entirely unexpected—the Union eagle Club of Brooklyn. Although this institution is supposed to be political in its make-up, and a deep, dreaded—wool Republican one at that, will be called "using" the "maned Tillman" at its Lincoln Celebration. There was no surprise manifested when no Negro was asked to take part in the program, but the Negro citizens are not through talking about the un-Lincoln-like attitude of the management to keep the colored waiters from even hearing speeches made lauding the memory of one in whom all Negroes are deeply interested. Attorney A. R. Letson, president of the Union League Club, for some unknown reason, made up his mind that the Negro employees had no right to listen to the speechmaking and, acting in accordance with his opinion, prevented them from hearing a speech. As the result, there is trouble brewing in the club. Many of the wainners have been invited to the club, and the members are said to be divided relative to the stand taken by President Laton in refusing to allow Negro walters to listen to the speechmaking. An elaborate program had been prepared for the occasion, and the spacious assembly room was throughed with white cithin which was used to paint the Lincoln hamock for his bishophood of mind in ending slavery, and giving freedom in five states. The present to do duty at the banquet after the speechmaking. Shortly before the meeting was called to the assembly room and stood around anxious to hear what the fair-minded white citizens had to say about Abraham Lincoln, the assembly room and stood around anxious to judge their great surprise when President Laton arose and directed that every waiter leave the room before the exercise of his unexpected action and the groes, at first taken back by such an unusual request, filed out of the room one by one looking surprised and disapproved. Some one in the number suggested that every waiter at once turn in his coat and apron and leave the club, and the idea of the unexpected action was the duet of President Laton had been presented was unanimously agreed upon. The steward of the club, the note that the wainners had left the building implumed them to work during the evening at least. Several of the conservative members of the club, the note that the wainners who finally consented to work the evening out. However, the usual bow and smile that characterizes the Negro was not noticeable at the banquet. Since the incident many of the members have been doing missionary work and have negro walters to listen to the speechmaking. At Springfield, III. the Negro citizens were barred from parting pits in the street, and the city claimed as the emancipator's town. Ree L. H. Macey severely criticized the banquet given by the Central Association and the Southern League, and I would rather be one of the number of the black devotees of Lincoln than to toastmate at a so-called Lincoln banquet at $25 a plate. Oh, consistency. Hamlet without the melodious Dance! SOME PUPILS OBJECTED To Singing Jubilee Songs at Lincoln Celebration St Patrick, Mum, Feb 16.

In the party were Mr. and Mrs. Clement G. Morgan, Mr and Advice Given That Negroes Stick to Farms and Keep Away From Cities TUKEKOE, Ala., Feb. 17.—Among the strong declarations enthusiastically adopted by the Tukegee Negro Conference, which convened here Wednesday morning, was the plea to the members of the race to assist in the enforcement of laws against the liquor traffic, and the advice that the Negroes throughout the South stick to their farms and keep away from the cities. Of the thousand or more delegates to the eighteenth annual Tukegee conference, probably two-thirds came from the eight surrounding counties which make up what is known as the "Black Belt" of Alabama. They came by all sorts and descriptions of conveyances. Many of them had ridden all night in order to reach here and were dusty and travel stained in consequence. These made up the bulk of the delegates, but there were farmers in attendance from every part of the South, whereve' the fame of this unique institution has penetrated. For the past two or three years a serious effort has been made by the authorities through the local Negro Conferences which are scattered throughout the eight Black Belt' counties of the State, to encourage the use of liquor by colored people. Since the passage of the prohibition law a year ago a more strenuous effort has been made to educate the people in informing the law. Reports which have come to the school recently and which were corroborated by the statements of delegates to day seem to indicate that the school provides an enforcement of the law thus far in the country districta. The Conference took up and discussed in order the following questions: 1. How have we succeeded in improving the moral and church life in our community? 2. How can the farmer succeed in helping the prohibition law throughout the South? 3. How have we succeeded in improving the moral and church life in our community? 4. How have we succeeded in building a farm? 5. How dangers to be avoided in farming. 6. How can the husband encourage and help his wife and children in making the farm a success. 7. How can the wife help to make her husband a more successful farmer? Anne of the people in attendance were encouraged to be involved in the work. A man known as the class farmer of Tallahassee County. He is a large landowner an industrial farmer and manager of the farm. He is known as the other colored farmer in that part of the country take great pride. At the conclusion of the conference it I As representatives of 70,000 New farmers of Alabama and of the South we urge our people to assist in the episcopal church and to help to create a traffic whistle that will. As a people we know the costs of the liturgy business and we should not fall into the habit because the laxes are made by some one who is not a member of the congregation in so that they are enforced. II To Negro farmers throughout the South we say "Stick to the farm. The land of our race. In spite of hardships and special difficulties, we are making progress on the soil. In Alabama alone we have $20,000,000 north of property now they pay taxes on over $15,000,000." III To all our people in the rural district we say "Do not let your children wander away to the cities because they cannot get proper schooling at home. We can only yearn for the farm and one of Alabama contributed $3,000 from their own pockets to lengthen their school terms and improve their school buildings." "Make the home more attractive. Plant flowers in your garden. See that the house is painted or whitewashed, raise chickens and improve your cooking. We are glad to note, in this respect, an improvement in some of our country schools, where chickens are raised, and in school cooking and, with the aid of a school farm, practical farming in connection with the other school branches. TO AID LIBERIA Administration Wants to Read Commission to Republic. Special to The New York AOK WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10—Earnest efforts are being made by the administration to obtain the appropriation of $20,000 for the expenses of a commission to go to Liberia to make recommendations as to what specific action on the part of the Government is desirable that will most aptly render effective relief to the republic under the present critical circumstances. The commission has been set forth in a letter which President Roosevelt sent to Congress three weeks ago transmitting a report on the subject from Secretary Root. Supplemental information is provided by Representative Edwin Dohny, of the Foreign Affairs Committee, from Assistant Secretary of State O'Langhiln, presenting additional reasons why the appropriation for the commission's work should be made. The State Department is very anxious that the appropriation be made promptly in order that the commission may reach a conclusion. The success of Liberia in self-government would, the letter argues, give hope and courage, while its failure would bring discouragement to the entire black community. There is no doubt that Liberia will not be able to maintain itself much longer. LINCOLN CENTENNIAL WEEK Observed in Chicago—Dr. J. W. E. Bowen Principal Speaker. Special to Tire New York Age CHICAGO III. Feb. 15—The Lincoln centennial week has been a memorable one. Perhaps never before in the history of the country has a great historic character so completely dominated a community as has the great emancipator during the Lincoln week. From Sunday, February 7, to Sunday, February 14, memorial wings were held and the praises of Alabam Lincoln sung by memorialists and so many urges.

The Negroes of the city were finally aroused and did their share in tributes of praise and thanksgiving. On last Sunday, the thousand colored citizens crowded the new 7th Regiment Armory. The occasion was one long to be remembered. Dr. J. W. McCormick, the commander of the occasion. His soul was evidently afame with his theme, for he never spoke more masterfully than on the one hundredth occasion. The subject, the audience and all the settings of the great occasion were such as to inspire a man of eloquence and as to remind the vast audience at his will, and left impression not soon to be forgotten. Others on the program were Mr. William McCormick, the second inaugural address; Mr. J. Gray Lucas read a poem appropriate to the occasion, and the famous Choral Study of the composer John W. Finley, rendered several financial musicals. The meeting was held under the auspices of the 8th Regiment of Illinois, under command of John W. Finley. The club, the Dr. W. E.

The Abraham Lincoln Center, of which Rev Jenkin Lloyd Jones is the pastor and leader, closed the centennial week of the centennial of Emerson Hall. Mr. Jones is one of the most constant and heroic friends of the Negro in the country. Mr Jones conceived and developed the idea of making an abrine like Mr Vernon, the only occasion during the entire centennial week in which colored people were represented Mr S Laiang Willimina spoke on the theme. The Fruits of the Negro were presented. The abrine was also on the program with an original poem, which was highly appreciated. A new place of business has been opened in this city by two young and promising men, known as the Windmere Tailoring Company. Those young men got tired working for other people with no hope for promotion and have had the grit to take on the challenge. They had a most encouraging beginning and their prospects point to an assured success. Mr. Gee C. Hall of this city, was seriously honored a few days ago in receiving an invitation to address the School of Cities and Philanthropy one of the most important and most influential organizations in Hall's receptions to the members of this organization of politically spirited men and women were somewhat startling.

There was no celebration over that bird's child, the bird's child's health. The great wide world knew naught of it, nor did it suspect it would ever know it. There was no downy couch with tinsel trappings, to lay that infant upon, no picture walls to vlew his child. Only four barren walls first dawned upon its first vision of things. Poor, indeed, was that father and mother who welcomed into the world this child. All children would to shelter them and a cot to sleep upon, and nature and nature's God to wormish. "This child that was born one hundred years ago to-day, and to whom I refer, was growing beside the dusty road, his birth was unnoticed. Like the full-brown roses that reposes in a Venetian vase, defusing ever will be observed. His birth and his life his hardships and his struggles, teach us how just is God.

This pledge contains the following items "To observe at all times and in all places the necessity for fresh air, to recognize at all times and in all places the healthful effects of sunlight to regard at all times global as a person and its use as a conductive to consumption to recognize the importance of good, wholesome food, to observe at all times the importance of cleanliness, to recognize at all times the contagiousness of consumption, to refrain at all times from spitting in public places." The society is incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. Members of the colored branch of the Y M C A are planning a reception for Mr S W Woodward at the Lincoln Temple. The Philippine Constabulary Band under the directorship of Captain Walter H Loving, an alumnus of M Street High School of this city, is on the sea. After giving a concert in Honolulu the band will hasten across the continent be at the capital by the time of M auguration, where of all bands S will be the master of organization, by being the finest military musical organization in the world. The Constabulary Band will give concerts on the morning of March 5 and the afternoon of March 6. The Negro Business League Herald, having finally been incorporated, will present its initial member on March 1. Mr. W. Sidney Pitman will conduct the editorial department and also officiate as president of the Herald Publishing Com- pany. Mr. Geo. E. Collins, who is se- cretary and treasurer for the company, will act as business manager for the magazine, while Mr. R. L. Pendleton, vice- president of the company, will do the printing. The magazine will contain twelve pages and a cover. Its publica- tion has been endorsed by the local league and by the president of the national league. The colored population of Washington is on the quilic, painfully watching to see whether a warship will actually be dispatched to Liberia with a commission sent to report recommendations as to the specific action this Government should take which would constitute the most effective measure of protecting the people. The idea of a commission was inaugurated by Secretary Root, who desired to secure an appropriation of $20,000 for the proposed commission. A British gunboat is at present stationed at Monrovia to protect foreign interests. The country is reported to be suffering from a corrupt administration. From time to time since President Lincoln in 1862 approved a treaty with Liberia, the United States has intervened in the boundary disputes of that country. If a compromise is reached the proposed condition of affairs a war vessel will probably be utilized to convey the members to the scene of investigation. At their meeting last Friday evening the Muscula cologized the lives of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass The meeting was held in the hall of the Washington Conservatory of Music, Mr R R Horner of the Board of Education, Prof Kelly Muller, of Howard University, and Mr E M Hewlett were the speakers, the latter giving a talk on Douglass.

The hall will be adorned with American flags and with those of other nations.

Rev Jasper is appealing to his friends for aid. A feature of the Lincoln exercises at St Mary's Chapel, where Prof Kelly Miller spoke last Sunday, was the rendition of various selections from "The Holy City" by the choir, under the direction of Mr H H Freeman, organist at St John's P E Church, and the singing of Charles Horton, the boy soprano from that church NEWLY OPENED. 431 W 16th St. Apartments of three large light rooms.

LINCOLN DAY AND THE NEGRO The universal homage paid to Abraham Lincoln on the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of the great emancipator marks a new era in the progress of the brotherhood of man. The world has committed itself to Lincoln's proposition for the realization of which he labored and in truth became a martyr. That if anything is wrong, slavery is wrong. The world has reaffirmed, that all men are born free and equal. America, too, agreed, though tacitly for the most part, and with a portion of the South as a noteworthy exception, that the Negro is entitled to an even chance with other men in the race of life. In fact, this country's celebration of Lincoln Day marks the flood of the tide of public sentiment toward the Negro, as it has ebbed and flowed during the last generation. An equal opportunity for the Negro, we believe, is rooted more firmly in the hearts of the American people to day because of Lincoln Day than ever it was before But Lincoln Day marked as well the flood tide of his progress, and the tide which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. The reduction of his illiteracy from the absolute to forty-five per cent and property valued at more than six hundred million dollars, have been his rise during the generation since slavery. At this time, with his increased opportunity, he should dedicate himself to the unfinished tasks remaining before him. At the end of the next generation, there should be few more illiterate Negroes, in proportion, in this country than white men. The Negro then should be a home owner, a taxpayer and a worthy moral citizen, in about the same pro- portions as white Americans, working thus and standing strong always in the preservation of his rights of suffrage and equal treatment, at that time Negro disfranchisement, Jim Crow cars, mob-law and discrimination should have long since disappeared. These are the tasks to which the Negro must devote his steady and strenuous efforts. Patiently and persistently, the Negro must continue to prove himself worthy of American manhood and at all hazards he must preserve that manhood. --- NEGROES SHOULD HONOR SAINT GAUDENS. The ashes of Augustus Saint Gaudens, the sculptor; lie in the cemetery at Windsor, Vt., across the Connecticut River from Cornish, N H., his late home. Saint Gaudens deserves on March 1, the anniversary of his birthday, to be honored by the Negro citizens of the immediate vicinity, and nothing will be more satisfactory than for a committee of representative Negro citizens of Boston, New York, Providence, and other places in this immediate territory, to meet at Cornish on the morning of March 1 and journey together to Windsor, for the purpose of laying a wreath upon the tonb of the sculptor of the Shaw Monument, which is to be seen on Boston Common. The genius of Saint Gaudens was nowhere more clearly exemplified than in the magnificent sculptured piece depicting that significant episode of the Civil War, when the 54th Regiment marched through the streets of Boston headed by their gallant young commander, Robert Gould Shaw. It would be pleasing to the family of Saint Gaudens and to his friends everywhere if the Negro citizens of the vicinity and New England would take note of the anniversary of his birth and pay this simple tribute to his memory. YOUNG MAN. GO WEST: Over a generation ago, that firm friend of the Navy and the ambitious young man Horace Greeley said "Young men go West." Heeding that advice thousands upon thousands of ambitious but poor young men went West, took up land, entered business or other vocations and to dry are leaders in the life of their communities. The great opportunities for taking up land in the West are much fewer now than then and growing fewer every year. Business success is some what harder there now than in the days when business rivals were few and the railroads had not placed the citizen of the small town in shopping distance of the great markets. But at that, life and progress in the Western States for all earnest and persistent men is vastly easier than in the East. There are, thousands of our ambitious and capable young men in the great cities doing menial work, who might and should go West, enter progressive farming or business and be independent. In the past two years nearly ten million acres of productive land will be opened up to homesteaders by the government. This land is productive and practically free for the asking. The following Indian reservations are to be opened to homesteaders in 1909 and 1910 Blackfeet, Montana, 500,000 acres, Cheyenne River and Standing Rock, in South Dakota and North Dakota, 2,000,000 acres, Cocur d'Alene, Idaho, 310,000 acres, Colville, Washington, 1,000,000 acres, Flathead, Montana, 776,000 acres, Lemhi, Idaho, 64,000 acres, Spokane, Washington, 153,600 acres, Yakima Washington, 1,145,000 acres Let us urge our young men, with all the emphasis at our command, to get their share of these rich allotments. Let us say, young colored men, go West! CHAIRMAN HITCHCOOK PROMOTED. What we have predicted has come true. It now seems a fact that Mr Hitchcock is to be the next Postmaster-General of the United States. This is a great and deserved promotion. No man worked harder to bring about Mr Taft's nomination for the presidency and after the nomination was brought about, no one did as much for his election as Mr Hitchcock Mr Hitchcock is a young man, and in the splendid work that he has done for the public he is setting a rare and fine example for the young men throughout the country. With all of his other good qualities, Mr Hitchcock has treated and will treat the Negro with justice. We predict still higher and better things for Mr Hitchcock than he has attained to even up to the present. LET AMERICA BEWARE The California and Nevada legislatures persist in playing with the fire, in their mad attempts to discriminate against their Japanese residents. Immediate war with Japan is out of the question. The opposition of our national government to the humiliation of the Japanese is too strong, the overwhelming preponderance of strong and sensible Americans and our great trade interests in the Far East will state on any crisis. The governing states, men of Japan are too wise and conservative to permit it. They understand the situation. They are grateful to America as Japan's teacher in civilization. Japan's heavy Russian war debt makes present conditions impossible for her. But the Japanese people, patriotic, progressive, and proud of their easy victory over the great Caucasian people of the North, are being filled with resentment. Therein, as Secretary Root has said, lites the great danger. No government can permanently withstand the united will of the people. Future differences may bring on the avalanche. The reputation of enlightened and democratic America is being lowered in the eyes of the world as never before. The world knows that Japanese labor immigration to Americas is prohibited and that all Japanese immigration here is rapidly decreasing. The other pretext of Japanese adults in public schools has been removed. The world now sees American race prejudice as America's prejudice against Negroes never advertised it before. The Negroes of this country have the fellow-victims sympathy for the wronged Japanese America is making the conflict of the races of the world predicted for many centuries a possibility within the realm of concession. Not only will America, if she does not squelch the irritation of the Japanese, threaten the development of the vast, unexplored resources of the Far East, but she will actually retard the cause of universal peace. Let America lawer! --- LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE No meeting of the local branch of the National Negro Business League has been well attended in enthusiasm and destined to do so much good as that group gathering at Wessima Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon. If a title of the interest there manifest be translated into action, the next month's should witness many new operatives and individual enterprises among Negroes in this community and a great improvement in the business of those here now established let Negro men co operate and get the of their own taxes still! Padding their earnings let them be hon- ered, efficient managers from their work, start on a safe even though a small firm, and increase their business strongly and is occasione quests. Let hired business men drive keep in stock a sufficient supply of tuple articles and discard that tunes essence. Just Out! And above all let colored business men keep their places clean! Keep them clean! App portance is in per cent of success in our business. These are the prime and simple virtues of business and these are the les- sons that were so effectively impressed on the earnest Negroes present. These are the great defects of Negro business. Let the Negro Business League follow up their splendid lead with more meet- ings and greater effort. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1909. WASHINGTON ON LINCOLN. WASHINGTON ON LINCOLN. The one-hundredth birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the emancipator of the Negro and the saviour of the Union, leading representatives of the American people gathered in the grand ballroom of their most famous lastly, and the oration of the occasion to be made in the presence of the grandson of his former master by the foremost freed man, toiling long and mightily for the uphift of his race, combined to make the speech of Booker T. Washington before the Republican Club on Lincoln's Day at the Waldorf Astoria, the speech of the day, one of the great speeches of time. Well might that audience of nearly a thousand representative white men rise and cheer the simple, potent tribute of the eloquent leader of the black race. No man in this country, or perhaps alive, so wholly embodies the calm and able spirit of Lincoln, as that-wise and honest Negro, born nameless and a slave, whose only mission in life is service to his race and country, whose only chord of eloquence springs from a desire for progress, truth and justice. No man save he, since Lincoln, has risen to show this country a sure and safe way out of the situation arising from the sudden placing side by side on terms of equality before the law of the two opposite races. No man could so well interpret Lincoln, no man is so well fitted to reveal the needs and duties of the hour. Born, like Lincoln, in a border-state big cabin to a heritage lower than that of the poor white of the ante-bellum South only because legally enjoined, what other man save Lincoln could so preach the gospel of good will toward all men, North and South, the wearer of the Blue and the wearer of the Gray. Who else could tell his race to struggle simply on, like Lincoln, in patience, in moral courage, rendering service? Who else could ask the white race. "As we gather here, brothers all, in common, and thanksgiving for the life of Lincoln may we not on with your race and let all of us here highly resolve that justice good will and peace shall be the motto of our lives," and then conclude, "if this be true, Lincoln shall not have died and died in vain." Abraham Lincoln was the emancipator who gave freedom to 4,000,000 African slaves and "at the same time struck the shackles from the souls of 27,000,000 Americans of another color," Booker T Washington is the liberator of his race from its bonds of poverty and ignorance, and the liberator of his country from its most vexing problem. The sublime tone and superior power of the Lincoln Day speech of Booker Washington already receives wide acclaim. The perspective of time alone will reveal its true greatness. Only the perspective of time can reveal his true greatness and the worth of his service to his race and country. 1 COLORED CITIZENS BALL. Few incidental efforts in behalf of race rights have been made in which is seen the strong and sane hand of that admirable and unpretentious Auditor of the Navy Ralph W. Tyler, than in the reconsideration of the proposed Colored Inaugural Ball at the nation's capital. There will be, as properly there can be but on Inaugural ball. That function will be for the representatives of all the nations of the earth and for all the citizens of this Republic There is to be, as properly there may be, a colored citizens' ball during the period of the festival. At the great fete attending the taking of office by the president of all the people, all races should and must be equal. It is not a social gathering, but a national function. That the presence of Negroes may occasion embarrassment or even offense to Bourbon Southerners, matters nothing. No distinction can be made in the national celebration. No distinction can be recognized or supported by sensible and patriotic colored citizens. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS.

Mr. Robert Gaines of Collins, Miss says, said, "Robert" and respected by his white neighbors recently scorned a writ of imminent against the sheriff of the county for collecting taxes under the legislature act, which was class leg- lation.—for the establishment of white industrial schools Robert's courage even in Mississippi, evidently gain him respect, but it also reaffirms the proposition that the heroism of peace is no less than that of war. Mr J H. Atkins, president of the local Negro Business League, made a timely and pointed address at the Abyssina meeting last Sunday, but we rather think that he undervalues cleanliness, when he said "Appearance is 50 percent of success in your business." We almost agree with the popular estimate, appearance is everything. Inasmuch as Liberia is an American colony and America has aided her other colonies—Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines,—America, said Secretary Root, should lend its kindly services to Liberia in her present crisis. The only possible objection to America's kind and badly needed assistance is that, as in the other cases, America might be too kind and extend indefinitely her call. Mr Isaac Hathaway, the noted Negro sculptor, born lowly like Abraham Lincoln, in the Blue Grass State, has left his old Kentucky home to take up his residence in splendor at Washington and will continue his work on the bust of Booker T Washington. Even if his history did not repeat itself such Kenucks men hath-the-way $35,000 has been appropriated by the Oklahoma legislature for a Negro deaf and blind asylum at the Negro educational center of Taft, and for this purpose Dr R E Graham, a wealthy colored land owner, has donated as a site a tract of 40 acres From the fact that this town was named Taft years before the last Republican convention, we thought the hearing and sight of Oklahoma Negroes especially acute With the Lincoln Home and Hospital's proposed endowment, with the proposition of Dr Barton for a Negro individual school for New York, the proposition of Edwin D.

Thomas, is made of sterner stuff Stand by your guns' The organization in this city a few days ago of a national colored dressmakers' association, with all the adjuncts of a school, annual conventions and exhibitions, and an annual visit of the president to Paris for ideas, supports the enemy's assertion that the Negro race is expert in mimicry and especially in following the white race in its bad places It is said that politics sometimes make strange bed-fellows. Business sometimes does likewise. For instance. On the first of the year in Baltimore a Jewish capitalist by the name of Iphraim Macht, opened "The People's Bank" on the corner of Hoffman street and Drudu Hill avenue. While he is president nevertheless, he has associated with him a number of colored men who have taken stock in the institution. And Horn a Slaxx "The same pen that gave freedom to 4,000,000 African slaves at the same time struck the shackles from the souls of 27,000,000 Americans of another race, and turned them into all forms of slavery there is none that is so hurtful and degrading as that which tempts one human being to hate another by reason of his race or color." One man cannot hold another man dead, and that remaining down in the ditch with blim. "We as a race must keep in mind the fact that freedom, in the broadest and highest sense, has never been a bequest. it has been a conquest." Aa 10 Negro Education The Southern Educational Association which lost last work in Atlanta Ga. used an out re day of its session to the discussion of the educational requirements of the Negro. They considered the best methods to be pursued in the treatment of Negro youth and needs of the worker. The work was a new path. Abraham Lincoln This man whose homely face you look upon, Was one of nature's masterful, great men.

WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY The key to the solution is in the cooperation of the white who people and the best colored people Frederick Douglass discovered that over half a century ago The Cleveland Journal If the Negro was as busy combining his little capital to go into business as he is vainly booking up into the political fruit tree to see if something will fall on him, there would be real grandeur in race hopes. The Chicago Conservator There are some people in the world who are neither fit to be in the presence of God nor the devil. They persistently and unwarrantably do the wrong thing at the right time and will then be he by the yard to carry their point. To do right to be honest with him he is willing and will stand in a individual to withstand every vexatitude and come out more than conqueror in the end — The Oakland Sunshine The State of Tennessee is reaping much of the fruits of the lawlessness that had been permitted to prevail in for more times. The mob in one case is usually the mob in the other. Like the original Klu Klux Clan, the mob is formed to intimidate Negroes, but it turns out to be the agglutination and the turbine of white people just as well. The mob would be driven by the people who are in position to have it put down, for white people are not safer when it stalks abroad than colored people. The Nashville Clarion. Once erase the thoughts of religion from the minds of man and he will soon become the companion for brutes. The early teachings are at once directed to the thoughts of an overrueling Providence as we grow into manhood and womanhood it is imbbeded in our hearts so deep that it becomes our life, our hopes and we would not erase it if we could. The picture of a fond mother teaching the lapping child to repeat the Lord's Prayer presents a sight that is more beautiful than anything we can behold in this life —The Seattle Searchlight. Judging by the beautiful calendars circulated by colored business men, prosperity has set in for them The idea is good, according to human nature. "He thee hath also will it be given unto him, while he that hath not that which he seemeth to have will be taken from him." Excerpts from the veda of our common life and of yet more ancient authority. In short, one must make a noise like prosperity if he would succeed greatly. Pity is given in a adversity very often, but much associated with the material side. He that excites our pity, ordinarily speaking, fails to excite our pocket-books —The Indianapolis Freeman Every sermon and every editorial should aim at a mark. The press and the preacher should teach the people what to do and what not to do. They should ask and answer questions—the unspoken questions that beam on the faces of their people, that glisten in their tears, that struggle for utterance in their prayers that stand out in the dangers, perplexities and deficiencies of their lives. They should comment on what can contain something for the week something for the home, the store the shop, the street the life routine the life struggles and the life duties. The editorials and the sermons that hit are those that keep the people awake they are remembered and commented on by the public and profited by they are like a mail in a sure place - Bluff City News. Dallas is still infested with a large class of old colored men both old and young. As a rule the old men are trying to find work. It is and is to see old men from the ages of fifty to seventy years hunting work. What they should do is go back to the farm. They are not used to city life. Many of these good old colored men were infused their lives to sell out and come to Dallas. They don't care for work. When they are out of a job they usually find work where they can afford to live a thing. The old men are not that they usually have a good old lady and small and sweet to the far end of the content.

THIS HAS SHORTED YEAR Howard President New Nation Should Establish Lincoln Institute Letters to the Times New York Age Dear President, I write to you with concern for the Institute that the presentation of the letter to the president and interesse as Dr. Malcolm will certainly be of great value to our leaders. I would like to be located in Washington at the purpose in the Lincoln Institute, the foundation of a Lincoln Institute to be devoted to those studies and activities which shall most broadly and efficiently promote the knowledge maintain the vision the duty and the vision of the colored people. It will be allied with Howard University, or it might be independent. It should be endowed by the most generous gifts of American wealth and public spirit. It should enlist in its service the best scholarship and the best statementship of both races, and its management should be in the hands equally of men of the North and the South, who stand alike for those fundamental principles of justice, humanity and progress for which Lincoln stood and stands. It should represent a sense of eminent, it should be a sense of national duty and national law, and when the temple's front should be inscribed those great provisions of the Constitution which embody the results of Lincoln's life and work." Washington, D. C., Feb. 12 TO DISCUSS NEGRO SITUATION. Well Known Personas Join in Suggesting a Conference of This Subject. A unit was issued February 12 for a unit concerned for the discussion of the current state of the Negro. The appeal was signed by men and women in various cities. Among the signers were Mass Jane Addams, of the rugge, Samuel Howles, of Spraggett Mass, William Lloyd Gray, of Boston, William H. Grinke, of Washington, D. C. William Dean Howells, Mrs. Florence Kelley, the Rev Frederick Lynch, J. G. Phelps Stokes, Judge Wendell P. Stafford, Washington, D. C. L. John Collins, President Thwong, W. L. Bern Reserve University, Oswald G. Vilner, Abbott Stephen S Wise, and Horse White. "If Mr. Lincoln could revive this country in the flesh he would be disheartened and discouraged," the appeal says. "He would learn that on January 1, 1909, Georgia had rounded out a new confederacy by disfranchising the Negro after the manner of all the other Southern States." The Jim Crow cars of the South are criticized, as is the exclusion of Negroes from the剧院 and the gaze of the South at the whiteswomen attacks upon Negroes in the North as well as the South are pointed out as matters to be discussed. Silence under such conditions meant apprehension; hence the need of a conference to protest against the many wrongs. Miss Loves to Startle Toxin: Baptism in Hackensack, N. J. Baptism in Hackenack, N.

Daniels, F. of New York, Da. the Grand Jumping at the Grand Court of the Wollomoo will serve in this city Monday February 10 to attend candidates who will be evaluated by Dr. Daniels and Mrs. Clarence C. Darrell The inferiority of the Caucasian race is recognized and accepted by many that race in this and other lands. The explains, as nothing else can explain, those fear that they will be overrun and beaten by superior races. They know they have the present advantage in numbers, and wealth and weapons of war, that the government is in their hands, but they see the danger if they allow those of superior races equal opportunities. We can hardly blame them for their fear and their insult in excluding or suppressing those who they dread. This explains the California and the Nevada proposals to forbid aliens to be and hold lands in fee simple. They mean the Chinese and Japanese They look up to these Mongolians as Teo Thumb, Barnum's white dwarf, look up to the Chinese giant Chang. The Mongolians are their superiors, they know in thrift, in diligence, in money making in all sorts of acquisition, they tremble at a rivalry with them. If allowed they would soon own the whole Western coast. San Francisco would be theirs. Hence these tears Hence Mr. Drew's bill, he does not be beave he could hold his own modern estate if a Japanese were allowed to ask for it. It is, it can be nothing else but a sense of their own inferiority which explains the unwillingness of these men to allow Chinese and Japanese to meet them on even terms and let the best win. To be sure, the President has no fear that these Mongolians will get the better of us Caucasians, but he is a headstrong man, full of conic hasty in concessions, and he does not know as much of Japanese as he does of bears. Because he can shoot a bear he thinks he can beat any alien. But the Japanese are another sort of beast, like the Martians we have heard of, all science, all heartless and all huge. We poor Caucasians we puny Anglo Saxons and Celts would stand no chance with them; we would be pushed into the mountains or the forests as the pumkins have been driven back by the superior Senegalese and Mandingoes. In the long run the superior win—it always does—and the Caucasians are doomed. Somehow, by wrt or war the superior race will win over the inferior race. It will be better for the world that those who lack in courage and virility should be replaced by a better stock. And there are terror-striken herds of cotton-tails that are trying to hide behind high fences against the advance of the black Southern wolves. They talk; a very different dialect from what they did half a century ago. Here are cotton-tails, which he hides in a sealed letter before he fired the shot in the Washington theater. "The country was formed for the white not for the black man, and looking upon African slavery from the same standpoint held by the noble framer of our Constitution. I, for one, have always considered it one of the great blessings for themselves and for us. God overbought upon favored nation." He thought the black race so infuriate that it was only fit for slavery. He did not fear them any more than did Abraham Lincoln when he liberated them for he thought they were only a bit more than a mule. But Senator Tillman has seen the mule become a superior man, and so has Gov. Hoke Smith, and so have the legislators of a doren States. They are afraid of being beaten. They see how an eight of negro blood will dominate seventh-eights of Canaanan. They shiver at the thought of probable negro supremacy if they do not while they can, and while the school has not done its fatal work exclude the negro from the protection of the halloixox. There is no other plausible explanation that they feel that they are not expected that they feel that they and their children will be beaten in a fair fight. It is natural for a weak race thus to defend itself by all walls of stratagem and defense against the time when strength shall claim its own. Thus they may take themselves. Thus Ulysses put out the eyes of Polyphemus and escaped the grant's clutch. I relieve us if we sometimes think this is cowardice that they ought to be willing to try the arbitrament of the trope for existence and abide its result. But that implies some hope of success must make allowance for the imminent lack of the infirmity of us in incapable racial inferiority.

"In paying an attribute of respect to the Great emancipator of my race, I demand say a word there and now in white of an element of brave and true white men of the South, who though they saw in Lincoln's policy the run of all they believed in and hoped for, have heavily accepted the workings with a courage few people in the North can understand to uplift the Negro in the South and complete the emancipation that Lincoln began. I am tempted to say that it certainly required as high a degree of courage for men of the type of Robert E. Lee and John B. Gordon to accept the result of the manner and result which they did as that which Giant and Sherman displayed in fighting the physical battles that saved him." "Lincoln also, was a Southern man by birth but he was one of those white men of whom there is a large and growing class who presented the idea that in order to assert and maintain the superiority of the Angle-Saxon man, that another form of humanity should be an ignorance. Lincoln was not afraid or ashamed to come into contact with the lowly of all races. His reputation and social position were not of such a transitory and transparent kind that he was afraid he would lose them by being just and kind even to a man of dark skin. I always pity him, because he bears and man who feels that somebody must be kept down or in ignorance in order that he may appear great by comparison. It requires no courage for a strong man to kick a weak one down. "Lincoln lives to day because he had the courage which made him refuse to hate the man at the time he did not agree at the time he did not agree in his patience and forewisdom to suffer in silence, to be misunderstood, to be abused to refuse to revile when reviled. For he knew that if he was right that the rids rule of to day would be the applause of to morrow. He knew, too, that at some time in the distant future our souls would repose for future our suffering for them while they live and bless them only when they die. In this connection I cannot refrain from suggesting the question to the millions of voices raised to day in his praise. 'What did you not say it yesterday?' Yesterday, day, when one word of approval and gratitude would have meant so much to him in strengthening his hand and heart "As we recall tonight his deeds and works with so with grateful hearts and strong faith in the future for the spread of righteousness. The civilization of the world is going forward not backward. Here and there for a little season the progress of mankind may seem to halt or tarry by the warside or even appear to slide backward and will be until some one can invent and enforce a law to stop the progress of civilization. In goodness and liberality, the world moves forward. It goes forward beneficiently, but it moves forward relentlessly. In the last analysis, the forces of nature are behind the moral forces of humanity and will turn into powder any group of humanity that exists this progress. "As we gather here, brothers all, in common joy and thanksgiving for the life of Lincoln, may I not ask that you, the worthy representatives of seventy millions of white American joy, join us in the fight of black American life, these ten millions who speak your name, profess your religion—who have lifted their voices or hands except defense of their country's honor and their country's flag—and swear eternal loyalty to the memory and the traditions of the sainted Lincoln. You may not be afraid to race and set out on us here highly resource that justice, good will and peace shall be the motto our lives? If this be true, in the highest sense Lincoln shall not have lived and died in vain. "And, finally, gathering inspiration and life in this hope and Lincoln's life, I pledere to you and to the nation that my race in so far as I can speak for it, which in the past whether in ignorance or intelligence, whether in slavery or in freedom, has always been true to the Stars and Stripes and to the highest and best interests of the country, that it will reflect nothing but the highest credit upon the whole people in the North and in the South."

The Colored Republican Club of the City of New York held its annual election of officers Tuesday evening, February. "As long as this Republic exists doubtless a part of its people will be colored as we are destined to be all men of the same race, and the government it is right, and it is our paramount duty to aim to be an harmonic part and a helpful factor. All opportunities open to Americans should be open to all people, the same as to all people. All opportunities open to American citizens must eventually be open to the colored people, the same as to the whites. But in order to measure up to the full height of a person, we must make an effort to adopt opportunities, and to make the most of them, as soon as they present themselves. No people can measure up to the correct standard who are not prepared for opportunities an advanced educational and industrial condition presents." "While a great duty is imposed upon the white man in seeing that exact justice be meted out to us as a race, the same as if he were not colored, fully as great a duty is imposed upon the race, as great a duty is imposed upon the race, order that all men, regardless of race or color, must stand equal and identical before the law and in public opinion. There are to-day two antagonistic elements of society in this country, one favors a citizenship unrestricted by color or skin, the other by race or color. The first is in harmony with our system of government and with justice, and is therefore passive and quiescent. The opposing element is in conflict with our system of government and with justice, and is therefore organized, defensive as a race and perpetually aggressive, as a race and perpetually aggressive, men insist that the time has come to make the first aggressive. Educational Differences "The ground upon which we stand is far too narrow for haneal differences, and far too rich in possibilities for diversion among ourselves. And of all things, the subject of education, which must be more than it does the millions now living, ought to be the last point upon which we as a race should divide. The service to the race and to humanity in general, which that matchless advantage of industrial education, cannot be justly quantified, cannot be justly judged by the present generation. Only the future generations, they who will come long after his name shall have been established in memory, will be competent to judge the good the good the amplified the amplified the amplified the amplified of the man will say that he differentiates between industrial and higher education to the utter exclusion of the latter. He stands, as we must all stand, who favor healthy race advancement, unreservedly. As Judge Taft has well said, give us higher education for our leaders, our educating one generation of militants and professional men and women, and industrial education for the great masses who because of the necessities and exigencies breed by the great of their brow, in order that they may earn it more easily, and be remunerated more highly for their labor. But why any difference on the point of education? There is no natural artifact of mental labor over manual labor and his greater necessity to society. The man whose birth we are to-day commemorating was a manual laborer before he was a ments laborer, and this fact, rather than detracting from his family, was a ments laborer more brilliantly as the years follow one after another into his future. "All labor is responsible to success. The steam in the automotive is a more refined and subtle factor than the wheel and boiler but a less necessary and imminent factor. It is more delicate, refined, and nominally higher sphere is only a component part of a general system but in personality is not necessarily more his laborer. The man with the hoe more of the density of labor than Abraham Lincoln. His life should be an inspiration to every Negro whether he tells the soil or performs the most mental and humble labor.

Wideman, Jr. (chairman), Michael M. Hogan, chairman, Oscar W. Fulcher, secretary, D R Fulton, corresponding secretary, E H Wilson, treasurer.

Dr. Andrew N. Raymour of Buffalo, former president of Union University, at Scholastic, delivered the motion. The meeting laid out an address by Bishop Alexander Vallow. It seems to me right and proper on the memorable day when the president was stumped to consider the work of the man above all others who started the New York City labor movement, and paid so much attention to the work and importance of the nation to forge the undeniable future which bind the black man especially the industrial laborer, and the white man especially the white South. His sentiments in making of that system to create sentiment in favor of labor and to allow that the South should a cessation of troubles.

KYRON SENIOR SERVICES KYRON SENIOR SERVICES SALVATORE THE RECENT DRAMA WE are told, in lines more poetic, that this world is a stage and each of us has a part to play. It is, therefore, in the broadest sense that the writer in dealing with the stage in this week's issue of THR Age, and reviewing a drama that was recently brought to the attention of the public. The drama in question evidently created an impression out of the ordinary, for the daily papers have given much space to it in their news columns, and have also commented at length with reference to the same editorially. We refer to the Lincoln dinner of the Republican Club in the Waldorf-Astoria last Friday evening, at which Booker T Washington was the guest of honor. There were many dramatic situations attending this celebrated banquet. Many of the New York new-papers minutely described the meeting of Booker T Washington and his chum of slavery days, Abe Burroughs a well-known New York attorney, and the grandson of Dr Washington's former owner, which all reported to be "a highly dramatic incident." However, the meeting of ex-slave and grandson of former owner was only one of the dramatic situations that led up to the climax—not a stage climax in the world of make-believe, but one in reality In the opinion of the writer, when the hundreds of guests present—composed of United States senators, justices of the Supreme Court, bankers and white citizens representing the wealth and culture of the nation—arose at the conclusion of Booker T. Washington's speech, and cheered to the echo—applauding him not in a manner characteristic of the select gathering, sedately and with reserve, but tumultously, clamorously, riotously—it was then that the climax of the drama had been reached. How often do we see and give vent to their feelings? How much would Klaw and Erlanger, and the Shuberts, give to be able to present a drama that would cause these men who attend shows evening after evening, to make known their approval by other than the customary nod of approval, smile and handclap? Were they so vitally affected as to cause them to lose their reserve surely the occasion must have been one of unusual interest and significance! Klein Bernstein, Thomas, Walter and Fitch, our most successful dramatists of to day, could not have conceived a more dramatic situation, Belasco and Marion could not have conceived a more pretentious stage setting, nor could have Frohman furnished a more suitable place for the presentation of the drama than the Waldorf Astoria, the leading hotel of America. And, again, so far as we Americans are concerned, such a dramatic scene could not have been enacted on a more historic occasion—the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln Every drama is presented with a view to furnishing a moral, and every drama moulds continiment of some kind—some proving more effective and popular than others. We all know what "Uncle Tom's Cabin" did for the Negro and neither are we ignorant of the result that the writers of such plays as the "Clansman" seek to bring about. In New York today there is being waged a war against the presentation of immoral plays, as the prime movers of the crusade argue that many of the dramas in New York are productive of evil results. If this be true then the drama that occupied the boards at the Waldorf-Astoria last Friday evening should be far reaching in its influence. Some of us pay too little attention to incidents that may appear trivial in their nature but which are likely to mean much in the future. To some the reception accorded Booker T. Washington after his speech at the Waldorf Astoria may appear insignificant, but to others it means much—not so much to the well known educator as to the members of the Negro race. We feel sure that the university senator, bankers and commercial men present have for some time had a high regard for Booker T. Washington, but we doubt if their opinion of the race in general was as high before the speech was delivered as afterwards. Evidently these prominent white citizens were moved by the words of the speaker or they would never have the enthusiasm they did when they cheered him after he made the following remarks: "As we gather here, brothers all in common say and thanksgiving for the life of you, I may not ask you the worthy representatives of seventy millions of white Americans to join heart and hand with the ten millions of black Americans—the ten millions who speak your tongue, profess your religion who have never lifted their voices or hands except in defense of their country's honor and their country's flag and swear eternal fealty to the memory and the traditions of the sainted Lunar I repeat may we not join with your race, and let all of us here highly resolve that justice good will and peace shall be the motto of our lives? If this be true in the highest sense, Lincoln shall not have lived and died in..." If the above remarks started highly cultured and intelligent --- --- body of men to wildly cheering, the writer does not believe the incident will be so easily forgotten by them, and we feel sure that each one present will in the future give the Negro more consideration, be he judge, senator or banker, because of the speech of Booker T. Washington, which asked that the white race join with its black Americans in a resolve that justice, good will and peace shall be the motto of our lives. The career of the actor, speaking in a professional sense, is vastly different from that of the artist the writer and the inventor. If successful he is given great prominence during his life but when he dies all he has accomplished is buried with him. He leaves no books, no paintings, no bridges, not people in look at, and more—nothing but memories of the past. But the actor, speaking in the broadest sense, as Booker I. Washington, plays a part in this that will when the final curtain is rung down on his dramatic career, not only leave tender memories, but evidences of the many M. B.

Ashley Overton Walker has been in New York City for several days having arrived here the latter part of last week from Indianapolis accompanied by her mother, Mine Quaintie Reed, who is ward robe mastress of the Indiana Land Company.

She will join the show the coming week in Louisville, Ky. MUSICAL NOTES The second annual public recital by the pupils of Mr. David Irwin Martin's violin school was given under the auspices of the St Christopher Club at St Phillips's Church last Thursday evening. The school showed a healthy growth, both in numbers and musical development, over last year's recital, which could be partly due to the part of the teacher and pupils. The ensemble work of the advanced students, augmented by a wood-wind and brass choir, gave a splendid exhibition of orchestral playing, and the works of Mendelssohn, Brahms and other classic masters were heard to good advantage. Some of the solos by very young children, some barely past their fourth year were particularly pleasing. The advanced students were also well represented in the hard work, including the repertoire of the cornet artist. A perpetual motion, played by seven children and accompanied by the orchestra, concluded the program. The soloists were able supported by Miss Florence Herbert, the pianist. Miss Virginia Moore, the California violinist, entertained a large audience at Calvary Baptist Church, Boston, last Thursday evening, by her splendid rendition of a very interesting program. She was ably assisted by some of the best local talent, and the concert was an artistic success. Many violinists have appeared before Boston audiences but none have been more pleasing than Miss Moore. Her first number was a sonata in G major, by Grieg. This offering revealed the true artist, and her place in the hearts of musical Boston was made. Her other numbers, which included a Legerde, by H. Wienwlaski, and a pretty little dance by Sarasate, concluding with a concerto minor by Max Bruch, even associated with the Nancy Mr. Teodulo Sanches gave on the plano a polonaise O sharp, minor, by Chopin, and an Arabesque in G minor Chaminade. His Bessie S. Trotter, who will soon make her debut in excerpts from Italian opera, under direction of Prof. Drury. Her beautiful soprano voice was heard with fine effect, and her apparent control on the stage is a strong asset toward success. The C. W.
