VOL. XXII. No. 29. Hold Twenty-Eighth Annual Session in Montgomery GOVERNOR COMER Addresses Negro Teachers for One Hour, Speaking Encouragingly on Education. STATE SUPT. GUNNELS Hearthly in Favor of Education of Negroes in Alabama--Booker T. Washington Given an Ovation Special to THE NEW YORK AQB MONTGOMERY AUA. April 21 — The Alabama State Teachers' Association held its twenty-eighth annual session here last week and the consensus of opinion was that the session was the most successful ever held. The association was organized 28 years ago by Prot W. B. Fatterson Prt: J R F Lee, of Tuskegee Insti- tute, among the prominent speakers were Gov B B Comer, State Superintendent Harry C Gun- nell and Booker T. Washington The opening session on Wednesday evening set a high standard for the balance of the week Welcome addresses were given by the first president of the association Prof W B Patterson, and Nathan Alexander, who is commissioner of the Land Office in this city, with a feeling response by Prof W J Labols of Birmingham These were followed by an address by Superintendent Harry C Gunnels, who showed his interest and hearty favor in the education of the Negroes of Alabama Every word he spoke conceived the hearers that in him the Negro education has a stanch friend. Accompanying him was also Mr W C Swanson, one of the superintendent's best assistants, who also was most emphatically in favor of the education of the Negro in Alabama Superintendent Kern on Country roads. After the addresses of Superintendent Gunneld and Mr. Swanson, Superintendent O. J. Kern, of Rockford, Ill., gave an illustrated lecture on the subject "Along Country Roads in an Educational Way." The lecture of Mr. Kern was, perhaps, the greatest treat that has been had for Negro teachers anywhere in the Southland Mr. Kern showed conclusively what could be done, and what had been done in one county in Illinois, and what could be done in a county by the proper teaching methods. He presented one hundred and fifty slides, showing school houses that had been repaired, replaced, and renewed, and school grounds which had been made entirely new by the co operation of the entire community. He especially emphasized the possibility of growing flowers, evergreens, etc., so as to make the country school house and school yard attractive and home like. Mr Ketu came to Alabama through the efforts of the white teachers' assoc. with officers of which were instrumental in moving him to lecture to Negro teachers On the following day in the forenoon there was a study and papers on the social side of the school work, and an address at 11 o'clock by Dr J H Dillard, president of the Jeanes Fund Board. Dr Dillard was most enthusiastic, and showed himself in most hearty sympathy and accord with the efforts which are being put forth by the Negroes of Alabama for their own education and by white people, through State and county officials. Dr Dillard stated that he had found the county and State officials throughout the South almost to a man ready to do what was in their power to improve the conditions of the public schools among the Negro people. C J Talloway's Great Work. In the afternoon round tables were presided over by persons well prepared for their meetings. The round table for school work was presided over by Mr. Jacob Warner. There was a large experience in building new school houses, and the longer term terms in the public schools. Mr. Malley has been an instrument of having built thirty-two new schools. He has more than $4,000 one per school in the county in which Tuskegee Institute is situated. The kindergarten and primary section presided over by Mrs. L. T. Jones. Superintendent of the Children's House at degree level to Mrs. Jones is a state of the Normal school at ingleton and has taught for years in the present position. She state of the Terrell, of Wash- ington, the grammar and high school meeting was presided by Mr. N. H. Parker, principal of High School in Birmingham. He built one of the few splendid schools on the South all of the meetings actual exo- final meetings actual exp ere given as to the different THE NEW methods applied in progressive work along the various lines. The experiences in the rural round table meeting were exceedingly interesting, showing how school terms had been lengthened by school farms, by mothers' entertainments, etc. Dr. Dillard was present at this section meeting, and expressed himself as greatly encouraged at the outlook. In the evening addresses were delivered by Prof N B Young, president of the State Normal school, Tallahassee, Fla., and Dr. J A Kenney, resident physician, Tuskegee Institute Prof Young spoke most eloquently and helpfully on the meaning of education, while Dr Kenney told how teachers might help in preventing the spread of tuberculosis Friday morning was taken up in discussing the physical side of the child's life, and the institutional character of the school At 11 o'clock the meeting was honored with the presence of Gov B B Comer, who spoke for one hour, most encouragingly and helpfully of the education among the Negroes of Alabama Throughout the discourse of the governance he dwelt largely upon education as the molder of character, and in no instance indicated that education was any less potent in the advancement of the Negro race, than in the advancement of the white Both he and Superintendent Gunnels insisted that they were equally as hearty in favor of Negro education as white They both expressed themselves that upon the education of the Negro depended the improvement of the citizenship among the people During the governor's speech an incident of interesting note occurred when Dr. Booker T. Washington of Luskeeger Institute came upon the rostrum, and the entire audience arose to greet him and gave the Chautauqua salute. While the chief magistrate of the State and the great Negro educator stood together on the platform there was a scene which would give inspiration to the most inactive. The incident seemed to give the governor new inspiration, and he entered into his speech with an enthusiasm which received cheer after cheer from the entire audience, until he had closed. The governor of the State has never had a more hearty welcome than the Negro teachers of Alabama gave and in no case could the chief magistrate have given more inspiration and encouragement than Gov. Comer gave to his audience. At the close of Gov. Comer's address Dr. Washington was introduced and congratulated the association on having the State officials with them, and on the splendid appearance of those present. Friday afternoon was taken up largely in the reports from the various counties, showing what had been done in these counties for Negro education, amount of money raised by the people, average length of school term, and average pay for teachers. The election of officers which took place on this afternoon resulted in the re-election of practically all of the present ones The evening meeting was held at the city auditorium which had been donated to the association by the city authorities, together with the Colored Men's Business League. The speakers for the evening were Mr W T B Williams, agent of the Slater Board, Hampton, Va., Dr H B Frissell, trustee of the Jeanes Fund and principal of the Hampton Institute, and Dr Booker T Washington. More than three thousand people were present Dr Washington, as usual, covered himself with new glory in his own State, and practically in his own town, in his magnificent address, in which he told the teachers what it meant to be teachers He especially dwelt upon the necessity of teachers locating in the sections where they are to teach and to become examples in home life, as well as teachers in the school room A large share of the audience at this meeting was of the best white citizens of Montgomery, who listened with most attentive ear to the entire program, and especially the words of wisdom by the great Educator At the close of Dr Washington's address resolutions of commendation to the citizens of Montgomery were adopted, also a resolution was offered commending the appointment of Mr Emmett J Scott, secretary to Dr Washington, as one of the commissioners to Liberia The association will meet next year in the city of Birmingham, where it is expected that more than a thousand teachers will be present LIBERIAN COMMISSION To Leave New York for Africa Saturday WASHINGTON, D.

April 19—The alumni lists at Yale University do not give the name of Louis O Graves, the Negro held by the grand jury in St Louis on the charge of forgery, and who, while on the witness stand, at tributed his mental condition to supereducation. Graves claimed to be a graduate of Yale, and declared in Judge Tayfour's court several days ago that he became mentally unbalanced because he received too much knowledge. In the Second District Municipal Court, Brooklyn, on April 1, a case is docketed for trial involving the question of whether a business college has the right to refuse admission to one because of race or color. The plantiff in the case is Cora M. Powell, who has brought suit to recover $500 damages against Norman P. Hefley, head of Heffley's Business College, located at 678 St. Miles's avenue, Brooklyn. Miss Powell, through her attorney Frank Edmard, instituted proceedings for damages.

J Echols, W A tainfield, C M Harris, R A Blout, Dr J A Bray and P D Davis. President Bond spoke in part as follows. "Within the past few years there is an element of satisfaction growing among our people to the effect that the salvation of our race lies chiefly with the Negro business man. This may not be clear enough to you, at present as individuals, but I shall endeavor to show you to what extent the business man figures in this commonwealth. "The masses of our people are not easily controlled, even when it is to their interest to be. Therefore, they must have leaders pioneers who will take upon themselves the responsibility of venturing out. This leader, this pioneer in the commercial world, must be a man of honor, a man of pride, he must have that pride that is unashed of patches, pride that prefers to walk rather than ride in a buggy when that buggy is not paid for. Pride that will say, 'I can't afford it.' "The organising and concentrating of the energies of the Negro business and professional men will develop a force, a pressure that will enable us to do anything we undertake. Gentlemen, we are all considered as one and the same action; let us be one in reality. Put your shoulders together and faunt the flag of determination to promote the financial and commercial development of the Negro. FUTURE OF NEGRO REPUBLIC Present Melancholy Aspect to Liberia's Advancement—Have Done Nothing to Develop the Country's Resources. MONROVIA, LIBERIA, March 12—Monrovia, with its population of 4,000, plus some 2,000 Kroos, Mandingoes and Ves, who are settled within three miles of the city, is the center of intelligence and power here Liberia. It is the capital of the Republic, the only college town, the home of the ruling class and the center of commerce Since it is the life-center of a Negro Republic on Negro soil, it is hitting that I date my letters from this point. For the most part, these letters will treat respectively of (1) The Government of the Republic, (2) The Education of the Country, (3) Agriculture and Commerce and (4) The Relation of Liberia to the Great Powers The theory of the government here is modeled after the government of the United States. With president, vice-president and legislative bodies it stands nominally at least, for free speech, liberty of the press and the right of habeas corpus. However it bears one striking and unfortunate contrast to its model. It is in every sense a government of the minority, since in a recent election, out of a population of more than a million and a half, only six thousand persons voted. This minority consists largely of American Negroes, or Negroes of Afro-American descent, who are called out here, Americo-Liberians. Upon these, numbering something less than fifty thousand, out of a whole population of a million five hundred and fifty thousand, devolves the whole scheme of government of this Republic. They nominate themselves, they elect themselves, and in so far as they may be said to govern, they govern themselves. The president, vice-president, judge of the lower courts, members of the not members of the legislature, and those who constitute the army and navy, all come from this minority of fifty thousand. This class of people presents a most melancholy aspect to the advancement of Liberia. In all ranks they are as far as possible, mere parasites living on the government, slandering one another and showing general inefficiency. To what may be called inborn inefficiency are added several other hindrances. The climate along the coast where most of them live seems to wither them so that they appear to have no ambition or sense of progress. The soil yields them very紧ant returns. Their intermarriage with Liberians and Negroes from the West Indies has produced a very flabby and physically degenerate offspring. And finally they give themselves such an over the native Liberians that they quite disgust the latter, and thus make it utterly impossible to construct a solid government. One of the few exceptions to this treatment of the natives, and to inefficiency in general is President Barley. With his good sense President Barley has sought to conciliate the natives, seeking their friendship and interest in the Government with very promising results. Before his election the whole body politic was flipped to the core. He is exceedingly well informed and far-sighted. While he is not radical, he is also not as some for a time supposed pro-British. By keeping his temper in trying situations with other rulers, by calling in expert accounts to systematize and collect customs, by employing trained soldiers of other nations to drill his people for the army and police duty he has shown himself to be the proper ruler for a nottinging Republic. However, he is as I stated an exception. I return to the Americo-Liberians, who in the main, form the government. For all their airs of superiority over the natives they have done nothing to develop the resources of the country. Despite the fact that they have managed the government for more than three score years they have not even the shadow of a school system. With five hundred miles of water front they have not begun to improve even the harbors about the capital. They have six months of dry weather, plenty of good clay and excellent temperature for brick making date brick yard. They have land in the interior capable of producing any quantity and variety of vegetables and yet they have only the crudest form of farming. And with their forests of rosewood, mahogany, teak and hickory they have no saw mills to supply the demand for lumber, even of their own country. And they face with this minority government these physical degenerates who show no ability to master the Liberian soil or government, stands the native Liberian Numbering at least one and a half millions, they occupy more than four fifths of the forty thousand square miles of the Republic. They survive the climate, they live in the hinterland on the best soil, they have physical vigor, intellectual capacity, a disposition to be generous, and a tendency toward industry. They can be easily led and taught through the spirit of kindness. Americo-Liberian quite disgust them. For this reason they bear no very strong allegiance to the central government Still left in a semi-savage state, they hunt, fish and farm after the most primitive methods. As they have but a few cart roads or facilities of any kind for exchange of products with the city, they merely seek to cultivate enough to survive on from day to day Still superstitious, they worship devils and fear witchcraft, as they did centuries ago. And yet, I am bound to believe that upon this people rather than upon the Americo-Liberians, rests the future of the Liberian Republic. They above all, possess the ear-marks of a surviving people in this country. They have physical strength to withstand the whims and changes of the climate. The fever does not sequester fever, but the poised stiffness the white man, and often renders Negroes from other countries helpless. And then, too, the Liberians have intellectual capacity, capacity for work and kind and honest dispositions. What, then, shall the government be turned over to them? Not now Rather let the way be opened for them to come to the government. Let some sensible American Negroes from our industrial schools in the South, especially from Hampton and Tuskegee, come out here and begin work in the hinterland. Send out here, for example, a few Tuskegee road builders, a few Tuskegee engineers, a few Tuskegee teachers, a few Tuskegee farmers, with the right kind of hearts in their bosoms, and the Liberians will rise in his native strength and build up a Republic that shall be an honor to the black races of the earth. I L CONSCIENCE WHIPS JUDGE Who Railroaded Negroes to Prison for Life—Now Ask for Their Freedom. LIFE—NOW AWK FOR THE FREEDOM MINNEAPOLIS, MINN, April 20 — R. L. Underhill and George Washington, prisoners in the State penitentiary for life on a second-degree murder charge, stand a chance of gaining their freedom after remaining in custody for thirty four years, thanks to ex Judge James F. who is responsible for their life. Ex. Judge for the State Redion Board and the following statement: "I have warranted for thirty-four years about the sentence met out to these men. I shall rest easier if I know that I have done something to undo this injustice." According to ex-Judge Egan, Underhill and Washington had been arrested and convicted on circumstantial evidence. A house in St. Paul had been robbed and the escaping burglar shots a policeman who intercepted them. Later a woman who lived in the house and saw the burglar in the dark identified Underhill and Washington as the burglar. Sentiment was so strong in the city against them that it was made use of to frighten them into making a false confession to save themselves from lynching. Their confession was obtained from them, the former judge said, while under stress. A mob was then waiting for them outside of the jail. They were railroaded through court and to life imprisonment in the penitentiary without a jury trial COURT UPHOLDS CHURCH. Mrs. Sylvin M. Hall Barred from Bethel A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn. Supreme Court Justice Marean, of Brooklyn. Saturday handed down a decision denying a writ of mandamus to Mrs Sylvia M Hall, who sought reinstatement from the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, from which she had been expelled Mrs Hall applied for the writ through Lawyer Rufus L. Perry and claimed that the officials of the church wrongfully acted in putting her out She charged the insignation of the church action to the Rev William H Lacey, the pastor, and asserted that she was not tried according to the church discipline. The law firm of Dayton & Bailey represented the church on the trial of the writ and the trial was attended by nearly every member of the church. It was stated that the burden of the relator's wrongdoing was that she declared at a meeting on the evening of January 27th last that she wouldn't "shake hands with the pastor this side of eternity and that he couldn't shake hands with her old black eye." Free Marean disposed of the matter by saying "The property of the defendant corporation is held to religious uses and the expulsion of the relator from church membership precluded no civil or property rights. The secular courts have therefore no juris diction. Motion for a mandamus denied." WASHINGTON D.C., April 21—May 21uznkz has rented the large house at 1701 New York avenue for the purpose of the Brownsville Inquiry Court Alterations and repairs are being made to suit the nature of the meetings to be held in a few days. The preparations indicate that the court will be in session for many months, probably consuming the entire year given to it by law. The court will not only examine soldiers, but will make a thorough investigation of the raid at Brownsville to determine whether it was committed by members of the 25th Infantry or by others. Some of the court sessions will probably be held in Brownsville. The court has discovered that there is no law compelling men to come before it, so that if there are any who cannot prove their innocence, they do not necessarily have to be shown up. Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS Not All Being Borne by White Tax-payers of the South SUPT. C. L. COON Says Small Amount of Money is Spent for Negro Education Considering Population GOVERNOR HOKE SMITH Addresses Twelfth Annual Conference for Education in the South - Urges That Negroes Scatter Over Country Special to The New York Age ATLANTA, GA, April 21—One of the principal addresses of the Twelfth Annual Conference for Education in the South was delivered on the last day of the session by C. L. Coon, of Wilson, N. C. who spoke on "Public Taxation and the Negro School." In his address the speaker took the position that the present cost of the Negro public schools is not a burden on the white taxpayer of the South, and made the assertion that the white public school in the South is between six and seven times as expensive as the Negro public school, figuring on the basis of population. Superintendent Coon's address in part: "The South is spending $32,068,851 on her public schools. Of this amount $23,866,914 is paid for teachers, white and colored, 74.4 per cent of the total Negro teachers are receiving about $38,187,050, or 12 per cent of the total expenditures for all purposes, white teachers are being paid 64.4 per The amount being spent on Negro teachers is by far the largest item of expense of the Negro public schoola In addition to the expense of Negro teachers the South is paying about $917,670 each year, making the total aggregate cost of the Negro schools near $479,375. These figures relate to the States of Virginia, North C lifornia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee, which contained 814 per cent of the Negro population in 1900. The Negro population of these States is about 40 per cent of their total population. Hence, the Negro school teachers who have charge of about forty out of every hundred of the children of the South, are being paid only 12 per cent of the school ex- penditures. The total cost of all the Negro schools is only 14.8 per cent of the $22,065,851 expended. In other words, the white public school in the South which takes care of only 60 per cent of the population, is between six and seven times as expensive as the Negro public school which takes care of 40 per cent of the population. "It is not possible to ascertain accurately what the Negro contributes to his own education, except in some of these States. In Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, it is possible to find out approximately whether the Negro school is a burden on the white taxpayer. If, in these States, we take the amounts the Negroes actually pay on property and polls, their part of the taxes imposed on railroads and other corporations, their part of the permanent school funds and their part of the license taxes devoted to schools, it will be found that the Negroes' part of the school fund raised by Virginia in 1907 was $507.305; North Carolina in 1908, $420.197; Georgia in 1907, $447.852. These States spent the following sums on Negro schools in Virginia, 1907, $489.288; North Carolina, 1908, $402.658; Georgia, 1907, $506.170. Thus it will be seen that when any fair division of the school funds of these three States is made on the race basis, the Negroes will fare as well as they are now faring in the absence of such race division. "It has been generally assumed that the white taxpayer is now bearing nearly all the burden of the Negro public schools. But the figures for North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia seem to indicate clearly that this is not the case. If we divided the present school funds of the South on the race basis, how would we divide the funds raised by taxes on railroad and other corporation property, which is not listed as either white or black? How would we divide the license taxes and the income from the permanent school town, which is not listed according to population. If that is done, then it is not likely that the present cost of the Negro public schools is a burden on the white taxpayer of the South. Gov. Smith on the Negro. The session opened Tuesday, and the members were welcomed by Gov Hoke not believe that those who dwell upon the South, dwelling on the race question as follows: "The presence of a great number of Negroes in the South creates a problem which must be understood. I do unsuited for the opportunities they the work of Negro institutions into which few of the race enter comprehend the question. The real Negro educational problem is found in the six million Negroes who never enter these institutions, and who are utterly unsuited for all opportunities they offer. I refer to the great bodies of BOSTON AGAIN AGITATED Church Article in Age Discussed—St. Mark's Literary Be-elects Hill. Boston, Mass., April 1.—Boston is agitated over the article which appeared in the last edition of THE AGE under the caption "Color Line in Boston Church." THE AGE correspondent interviewed several ministers concerning the article and found the consensus of opinion to be in perfect concurrence. Many related their experiences with their white fellow churchmen which will amply substantiate the facts and the purpose of the article. A great many Bostonians are diffident about admitting the existence of color prejudice in this city, but the concern over the issue remains in presence in every phase of life when a number of some proportions is concerned.

Hayson the gifted young poet of Washington, D.C., continues to adorn "The Listener Column" of the Boston Transcript with his fine connets. Especially good is his recent "Vale! Algeron Charles Swinburne" in the Transcript. We understand he is eternally but quietly working and that a book of his poems is forthcoming in the near future. Shef's Hall was a tower of beauty last Saturday night when the Rach Brox entertained their friends in their monthly schlub. Its detritus of the season was present, and were also the Misses Kennard of Worcester. Mr. Jerome Barlow has recently contributed an interesting article to the Springfield Republican on the work of the Roht, Gould, Shaw House. Mr C Henry Robbins, one of the seven candidates who successfully passed examination for superior court stenographer, is among the three who have received appointments. Mr Robbins will be the official stenographer for the counties of Barnstable, Duke and Nantuckett. In the last edition of Tur Ack Mr. Robbins was referred to as "Robinson." Mr Wm Lloyd Marshall has returned from Washington, D.C., where he has been the guest of his mother. Mr Mahlon Kennard of Worcester was the guest of Mr Lewis Caution unday and Patriots' Day. The spacious and handsomely furnished house of Mrs. Jennie Lounon at Holypoke street was filled to overing with a jolly gathering of peo-who responded to the invitations of "Dr. Harrison Club" to attend the Lemon Social on Wednesday evening, April 14. The dining room was very prettily decorated with streamers of lemon color, which made quite a gaudy effect. During the evening, Dr. Marcus Wheatlaw, of Newport, and Dr. W. H. Higgins, of Rhode Island, with Drs. B. E. Robinson, H. W. Ross, A. P. Russell, Jr. made their appearance. Lawyers Alston and Hicks were also present. Good music was furnished by Mr. Lovett Groves at the piano. A most enjoyable evening was spent by every one present and the affair was a decided success in every way. At the end of the members of the Thursday Entrance Club, composed mostly of young persons engaged in intellectual pursuits, met and decided to give a May Party in the interest of the N. A Convention in August The lovers of something rare in a literary way will find it every Sunday afternoon at the Young Men's Educational Aid Association, 218 Northampton street. Last Sunday was Virginia day, and an elaborate program was rendered. An able address was delivered by Rev D A McKay, assistant chaplain of Charles town prison. Sunday before last the subject of his discourse was the "Message from the man behind the bars." He gave a graphic description of prison life and the causes that lead to the commission of crimes as he learns them from the minutes. One sad feature in his remarks that touched his heart is that in proportion to the population of colored people in Massachusetts, the criminality was excessive. This is a statement which the members of the Young Men's Educational Aid Association have long since believed, and a condition with which it is their purpose to deal Double Funeral in Newark Double Funeral in Newark. NEWARK, N J, April 19 - At Bethany Baptist Church. Bank street, Rev R 10 Wynne, pastor. on Sunday, preached from the book of Daniel, subject, "The King's Dream." At the close of the services, the pastor officiated at a double funeral, that of Mrs Ella Andersen, formerly of Washington, D. C., one of the faithful Sunday school teachers of this church, who died on April 15, after a brief illness and that of Mr James H Robertson, formerly of Newark, N J, who died in the asylum at Trenton In the evening, the children of the parish held their Easter celebration. The church was crowded with a large concourse of parents and friends of the little ones. The exercises which were very interesting were conducted by the young superintendent of the Sunday chool, Mr. Baldwin, who has been very successful in his work. One of the main features of the exercises was a miniature ship built by the superintendent to receive the fund donated by the school for African missionaries. The music rendered at the funeral services, under the direction of Professor Eppa, was of an exceptionally high order and speaks well for the ability of our choir manager. All persons wishing to have news items to appear in THE Age will kindly sent notes to Mr. Bland. Bethany Baptist Church.

A Meeting for Fort Valley To the Colored Citizens of New York and Brooklyn During twelve years of subservitation at the North for funds to build and maintain the Fort Valley (Georgian) High and Industrial School, I have not made an appeal direct to any large number of colored people, not that I have thought they would be unwilling to aid me, but because I have been cognizant of the grave struggle which our people have even here at the North to build their churches, maintain their charities care for the sick and find employment for the untrained, who come here from the South. The more I study the situation, however, the more I am convinced that we are in one Year of the North and in the South that we have an struggle. Whatever therefore of interest to the Negro of the South should be of interest to the Negro of the North, and vice versa. During the last half dozen years men of the North prominent in the white race, have organized boards of education for the purpose of investigating in the South and helping where help is needed to wipe out the ignorance of that section and start it on toward a more enlightened and more useful future. These boards have been organized by white people, and more people. They have also been organized by white people for black people, both more receive consideration at their hands. The Negroes of the North have no millions; they do not have generally very encouraging and helpful opportunities to earn money in large sums, but among the old settlers of New York and Brooklyn there can be found here and there an important element in the development white people for generations people who have become attached to them and are willing to and help them both by paying decent wage for their service and by taking a deep interest in the things that make for their general improvement. Then there are those who have made a solidified strides in business because of close application and because of the greatest of commercial cities in America gave them. In view of the conditions stated, it seems well to bring before the control people of the North the conditions of our race in the South in the same way that we would bring them before the white people and expect at least I am therefore now calling a meeting of such people of my race in this city as may desire to know more of conditions in certain sections of the South, and to tell them how the Fort Valley High and the Fort Valley School is poised and grappled with these conditions. Primarily I want to raise some money for Fort Valley and shall take a free will offering on the occasion of this meeting. Ultimately I wish to among the students the North more general interest in the work of their struggling brothren in the South. This meeting will be held at Bethel A M. F. Church 25th street between 7th and 11th. Courses on Tuesday evening May 1 at 8:15 o'clock. Prof R. Moore editor of Tux New Yong Anr will preside. Among the speakers will be the Hon Chang W. Anderson, the Rev Dr Ransom, the Rev W H. Brooks, Mr Roosecock Cummings, Counsellor Jas L. Curtta and others who will be announced later. I want to ask your full co-operation in this effort. The gods help those who help themselves. Thanking you for a general interest in this movement, Sincerely yours. Audit, Principal and Financial Agent. THE NEW YORK AGEL THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1909. COLE AND JOHNSON. To Play important Engagement at Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON, D.C. April 21 — It gives your correspondent with pleasure to announce that Cole and Johnson, the distinguished Negro players, and their excellent organization will play an engagement in this city in the near future. The production of Messrs Cole and Johnson has, during the present season, enjoyed a long success, and has been presented in the theatre's. The patronage has been every where made up of the most celebrated personages, and the tour can be indeed termed a triumph. It has always been a desire of all colored stars to play Washington, because of the knowledge appearing before an audience that would be a majority of the most intellectual Negroes. America Minds that would be keenly alive to the sentiments of the artists' work. This unique privilege has been unfortunately denied as far as Washington is concerned, owing to an unfortunate prejudice which has presented the securing of a theatre in which to give a high class performance. Similar conditions freed the former stars on several occasions to the most important Hall in order to present their offering in playing, but owing to its lack of the necessary theatrical mechanical devices and large expense in preparing that large auditorium for a professional performance, its use has had to be abandoned, beside it would be necessary to greatly alter the prices of admission. Over what is shared in other cities, and the performance could not be given with the same degree of satisfaction. When a party of Washington's distinguished Negro citizens requested an engagement of Cole and Johnson's exquisite comedy, the handout of predecal theatrical arrangements for a high class colored company was explained, and the assiduity of playing a half or place not tally equipped for the proper presentation of their play could not be considered. It was explained that the lighting of foxes and curtains colors were also totally necessary for a perfect and artistic presentation of their play. These will know citizens are using their every effort to secure a practical theatre for an inauguration of Cole and Johnson and their company. A work has already been set aside for the inauguration and wherever the company plays in Washington at will without doubt enjoy the same social patronage and social support as is given such stars as Mrs Fisk, Mr Wortht and other distinguished players whom auditions have forced to play away from the stage of bookings in several of the larger cities. Beside, the play is the thing and this one will bring pleasure and exquisite harmonies. St. John's M. E. Church, Newark, N. J. Rey Storer M. Jolly, pastor of St. John's M. E. Church, preached last Sunday the second of his series of sermons on the "Theophanes of Christ" his text from Luke 24. 16th verse. The trend of his discourse was the danger before the honest truth seeker. The Sunday school held usual exercises. The Epworth League met at 4 o'clock and na usual the church was packed, Mr. Goo Tuff, the president, read scriptural selections. Prayer by Pastor Jolly, Mrs. Albert Francis, one of Newark's most capable women had charge of the program. There was a cello solo by Mr. O'Jake Fo, a member of the Epworth McDonald Dresden accompanied by Mr. McDonald Dresden, for the choir. A quartet by Miss De Mund, Mrs. MacDonald Messy Griffin, and Ruffin a most interesting paper on successful business people by Mrs Chase Ruffin Pruno solo by Miss Brenda Masyck Vocal solo by Master Albert Francis Vocal solo "My Rosary" by Mr B R Purvis. The exercises concluded with an address by Fred R Moore editor of Tiny New York Aur Revolly said it was most timely and would be helpful to the league Prof C Fletcher was complimented on the name endured by his choir and orchestra each year. The pastor occupied the pulpit at night, teaching on the Illumination of Faith Luke 24, verse 31 Mrs Mary Gilmour reported $10000 as the profit from the Easter supper On Sunday night next the Easter musical by Prof. Fletcher his chair and or chestra will be repeated.

There is no question of the accuracy of Governor Hoke Smith when in addressing the Conference of Judges in the South. "Experience where there are fewest of them proportion to the number. The best of Negro would distribution to all sections. This can be accomplished by having more white settlers come South and more Negroes go North. East and that implies, of course, that the Neighbors are lacking in capacity, elevation, and, when left to themselves, tend stealthily to a lower social and eco- Neither in logic nor in fact do we find support for this ipse dixit of the New York Times. In fact, the wonder is that such partial and suspiciously strange logic should find its way into the editorial columns of a great cosmogolitan daily. Why, Mr. Editor, does that necessarily imply "that Negroes are lacking in capacity for self elevation?" That the Negro isolated from his fellows in a progressive and enlightened white community makes the faster progress is true and natural. That that same Negro isolated from his fellows in a vicious and stagnant white community would rise above his environs to be doubted and would be unnatural. That an illiterate Negro cannot teach an "illiterate Negro, we agree. You would, Mr. Editor, agree perhaps to as much concerning two such white men. That the Negro race, divided, demoralized, and brutalized by two hundred and fifty years of abject slavery, should catch as quickly the pace of "self elevation," as it has, been the maryel of all honest students of the race. But, Mr. Editor, it is a false and studied insinuation to deny to the Negro the natural tendency toward progress of other humans. No, Mr. Editor, neither Liberia and Hayti nor the "black belts" and "black countries" of the South, as you say, illustrate any such "regrettable fact." That Liberia's nucleus of transported slaves, poor and unsustained by a home government and its resources, should have persisted amidst the most unfriendly conditions and overwhelming barbarism, seems to us to argue volumes for the capacity of the Negro for self-elevation." The "regrettable fact" is, that conditions in Hayti have been deadly misrepresented The Haytians, according to facts and figures undisputable as tabulated by ex Minister Leger and as reported by many travelers are making actual progress. According to such first-hand information with the Republics of South America, they are slowly but steadily growing toward a stable and efficient government Nor does the progress of the Negroes of the "black belt" and their thriving communities like Mound Bayou bear out any such theory. No, Mr Editor you must produce something more than the words of Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, something outside the realm of logic, more facts than those at hand to support your preposterous though popular assertion that "Negroes are lacking in capacity for self-elevation" THE SHERIFF'S IMPEACHMENT. One of the strong and progressive governors of the South is Governor B. B. Comer, of Alabama. If he but prosecutes his present course in law enforcement to the end, he will prove a veritable god-send to his native State and in his example to the entire South land. So disgusted has Governor Comer become with the enforcement of law and order by Alabama sheriffs, that he recently declared that hereafter, when a lynching is imminent, sheriff willing or unwilling State troops will appear on the scene. On April 11 at the order of the governor and acting upon the petition of the leading citizens of Mobile, Attorney General Garber began amputation proceedings against Sheriff Frank Cazalas, of Mobile, for permitting a Negro prisoner to be lynched. The Negro was a bad Negro, a murderer of a deputy sheriff, but the sheriff was an equally bad sheriff, a typical Southern sheriff. Experts in the art of sham battle with the mob, who are "overpowered" and whose "keys are seized," the action of the Mobile sheriff puts even such pretense to shame in comparison. Though he was reliably informed, the Governor says, "many hours before the sad entry into the jail," and although he knew "that within the last three years there have been two lynchings in Mobile County, the sheriff left the jail and went to his home four miles distant therefrom and took no precaution to prevent the entry." Further, the Governor says, that "the deputies on guard in the guard room of the jail suffered the entry to be made without resistance" and that the sheriff's forces have not "ordered or undertaken any attempt worthy of the name to apprehend the murderers" of the Negro. One must go far indeed to find a parallel picture to this lawless state of affairs. But it is apparent that the reputable citizens of Mobile and Alabama and the South are awakening to this, their greatest peril. But Governor Comer has courageously placed the blame for the present barbaric conditions where it should be, on the shoulders of the guardians of the law Impeachment will hardly meet the deserts of the lax and cowardly sheriff of Mobile. But it will have a powerful tonic effect on the other sheriffs of Alabama. It sets a high and timely precedent for the other Southern governors EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH. The Twelfth Annual Conference for education in the South, which met in Atlanta for three days last week, beyond question was the largest and most successful conference on education ever held in the South. Hundreds of distinguished educators and philanthropists were gathered from all parts of the country Under the inspiration of Robt. C. Ogden, the retired New York merchant, they discussed Southern school problems with a frankness that was as honest as it was helpful. Remarkable indeed was the ovation given President Ogden, who now for quite a decade has made the education of the white child as well as the black child his business. Thanks very largely to his own efforts and to the influence of the conference and the Southern Education Board, sixteen millions of dollars in Southern State appropriations for education have been added in the last few years. Equally remarkable were the strong addresses made by Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia and President Mitchell of the University of South Carolina. In the course of the former's address he not only urged Negroes to isolate themselves in white communities, but placed education above all other problems. While the latter declared that if the South would solve her problems, it must let her conscience guide, it must break the inherited chains of ignorance, intolerance and bigotry. Aside from the direct uplift through education of the five millions of poor and degraded whites of the South, the greatest contribution of the movement has been its education of public sentiment. It is, together with the Jeanes Fund Board, educating the South to the tolerance and necessity of Negro education Though the additional appropriations by the Southern States goes almost entirely to white schooling, it nevertheless thus removes one great barrier to Negro education and progress. The conference recording high water mark of popular interest in education was another milestone passed by the South in her march from slavery and ignorance THE NEGRO IN SOUTH AFRICA There is a group of Negroes in America who have been constantly assisting the Negro to return to Africa in order to better his condition. In order to let the readers of The Age know just what conditions exist in South Africa and also to permit them to make a comparison between the encouraging condition of the colored man in America and the discouraging condition of the colored man in South Africa, we print below a part of a speech recently delivered by High Commissioner Lord Selborne Lord Selborne lives in South Africa is thoroughly conversant with conditions there, besides, he is a brave and generous Englishman who is not afraid to speak out. The address was delivered on the occasion of Lord Selborne receiving a degree at a university in South Africa "How is he to perform his task? In the first place, as a wise man, he will take precautions not to make the task harder for himself than need him by making the native regard him with dislike and his efforts with suspicion. I will leave out of account altogether the unwise and hard things said by reckless and unthinking white men about natives. I will only ask white men if they have ever calculated the cumulative effect on the natives of what I may call the policy of pin pricks? In some places a ever he may have striven to civilize himself, is not allowed to walk on the pavement of the public streets, in others he is not allowed to go into a public park or to pay for the privilege of watching a game of cricket. In others he is not allowed to ride on top of a tramcar except in specified seats set apart for him, in others he is not allowed to ride in a railway carriage except in a sort of dog kennel, in others he is unfriendly and ingratiate in men and women who will not sit without a pass and if, for instance, he comes, as thou sands of battles do, from the farm on which he resides to work in a labor district, he does not meet with facilities but with elaborate impediments. In the course of his absence from home he may have to take out at least eight different passes, for several of which he has the right to take them, and would he much mappier without them; and it is possible in an extreme case that he may have to conform to twenty different pass regulations. Now let a white man put himself in the position of a black man and so how he would like it, and let him ask himself whether such regulations and laws really make his 'take easier' THE NEW YORK AGE THURSDAY. APRIL 22, 1909. There is no feature perhaps of Negro industrial life during the present months so evident as the beginning of co-operative business enterprises North, East, South and West, like mushrooms, Negro enterprises are springing up at the dawn of the promised era of prosperity Insurance companies as in St. Paul, Atlanta and Columbia; "better housing" movements as in Hartford, Springfield, Mass, and in Chicago; fraternity homes as in St Louis, New Orleans and Jacksonville; commercial enterprises as the shoe firm in Haverhill, Mass, and the Negro doll factory in Memphis, indicate the strength and scope of the movement. If the Negro has not as many business firms on the main streets of our great cities to-day as he had a score of years ago, it is because the Negro did not meet the era of combination with a similar co-operation and competition. This belated era of business co-operation indicates first, that the Negro in business has awakened to the call of the times, and secondly that the race is responding to the call for business co-operation Doubtless, in your community, wherever you may be, such Negro enterprises have recently begun Doubtless you have recognized this increasing sentiment and tendency among Negroes. Doubtless you recognize that out of this movement are the issues of the race's commercial growth, employment for your children, the higher standing and respect of your race Then it is for you, we mean you, to forward this movement. Perhaps at a few reasonable sacrifices for a time, but you must stand behind these Negro enterprises not only with your moral support, but with your money. This is the call of the hour, this is the call of your race. THE NEED OF EXERCISE. In view of the recent successes of our local athletics, we take this occasion to commend the increasing growth and activity of our athletic clubs. As the season of outdoor sport approaches, we wish especially to urge our citizens to the habit of taking regular and systematic exercise. It is quite impossible for the race, as for an individual, to exist without exercise under the artificial living conditions of this great metropolis—away from the pure and undefiled atmosphere of nature, apart from actual contact with mother earth and preserve physical and mental vigor For our younger people we heartily endorse and recommend the numerous athletic clubs. For our older people we urge daily and vigorous walks. It is said by physicians that a daily walk of ten miles will cure the worst case of chronic indigestion We are glad to see the progressive spirit of many of our local churches in attaching and fostering athletic organizations. This is one of the most direct ways of attacking the excessive Negro disease of New York and of raising the rather poor physical standard of the coming generation of New York Negroes. We wish that every church would follow the lead in this matter of the pioneers. Such clubs are absolutely harmless and abundantly helpful to the young, a needed and inspiring diversion to the old New York Negroes take more exercise. --- THE TRUTH ABOUT LIBERIA. With this issue we begin publishing a series of letters from Liberia, written by one who has made a careful study from the inside of the whole situation in that republic. These letters will reveal the facts as far as Liberia is concerned, and we feel sure that they will prove very interesting reading for THE AGE constituency. These letters have been secured at considerable expense and effort and we are sure they will have a wide and careful reading --- PROGRESS IN JACKSON The series of letters we are publishing from Jackson Miss, showing the progress of our people in that city, are most encouraging and inspiring. There are other sections of the South where our people are doing equally as well. We think it helps our race to call attention to these object lessons which indicate so much theft and general prosperity. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS The scholars are discussing whether or not photography is a fine art but to ordinary mortals viewing Mr Jones' success photography is a very fine art. "Squire Jones, an aged Washington Negro, finding a bag containing money and jewels valued at $2,000, held it and eventually found its owner, Mrs Wm H Clark. There the story ends, but assuming that the 'squire' received the usual handful of 'thank you' reward, we insist that honesty is the best policy. Senator Bacon of Georgia writing recently to the New York Sun, says the Negroes of his State own $27,000,000 worth of property, have 200,000 children in school and that these show that the Negro has the protection of the law in his property rights and that "Georgia does a generous part toward the education of the Negro." The Negro is getting money and education all right, Senator, and barring such insignificant facts and that the mob, as in the school house and church-burning last fall and in the Atlanta riot, has free reign, and that Georgia gives three times more to each white child's schooling than it does to a Negro child, your conclusions, Senator, are painfully accurate and generous. Chas. R. Doll, of Chillicothe, engrossing clerk in the Missouri legislature, recently resigned that post to accept a clerkship in the automobile department of the Secretary of State's office Mr Doll is a sage all right, for the automobile business is lucrative to the runover stage the year round in Missouri Dr James E. Shepherd, planning a Negro Chautauqua and Bible training school for Durham, N C, has collected $50,000 of the $150,000 needed. As this is an off-year in politics, we would advise Dr Shepherd to come North to the Chautauqua this summer with some simon-pure spell-binders Robert C Ogden, the retired partner of John Wanamaker, has accomplished wonders for the popularizing of education in the South since his retirement. In these days of increasing industrial education, business is being called the handmaid of education, but in Mr Ogden's case education had to stand and wait the pleasure of business. The A. M. E. brethren have been thoroughly tickled by the election of R. R Wright, Jr., as managing editor of the Christian Recorder and the A. M. E. Publishing House We, too, believe that Wright's in the right church and the right pew. The Charleston News and Courrier recently "hopes that Secretary of War Dickinson will be able to make an impression upon Mr. Taft before the administration is much older." From the vigor with which Mr. Dickinson on the hustings has recently been slashing just such prejudiced and demagogic Southerners as this Charleston editor, we rather suspect that Mr. Dickinson has made a splendid impression on Mr. Taft The local Negro Business League in Washington, D. C., which is unusually wideawake, has just started a monthly journal to be known as The Negro Business League Herald. The first issue presents a commendable appearance, and we wish for it the highest degree of success. We very much hope that it will be the highly esteemed by our people, not only in the District of Columbia, but throughout the country. Down in Kentucky a white man recently married a wealthy colored woman and both were doing the p. f. w. act until the woman's brother came along and had his brother-in-law arrested. The white man quoted the classic author: "Love laughs at lock smiths," and the colored man retorted in the homely thought of Josh Bailings "Love likes to light anywhere there is money." --- Andrew Carnegie has promised Walt force $17,500 for a women's dormitory providing the university raises an equal amount, as the building will sue $15,000. As President Scarborough starts out after the $17,500 it may not be amused to remind the friends of the institution that eymologist's say "scarborough" is the contraction of borough surremer the one who picked up everything living loose. Sally J McCall, whose will was recently titled, bequeaths the Andover building in Cincinnati, to four white trustees for a Negro industrial school. To the chronic higher education brethren who are kicking because "it is a part of the dehileber attempt to reinstate the Negro to manual labor" that famous reply is best "There is a difference between working and being worked." Despite the noise ovation that the Philippine constabulary band is receiving everywhere in its tour of the country, it is a significant fact that there has been comparatively little public warming up to its great Afro-American leader, Capt Walter H Loving. Musica bath charms to soothe the savage breast but it hath not the power to make the American white people forget Hare Dut Increasing President Mitchell, of the University of South Carolina, touched in his address last evening on the most important outcome of all this mighty educational striving when he urged his Southern auditors to break away from tradition to think for themselves, and then to science without regard to what their forebears said or did. In other words, Dr Mitchell wonts to see broken those chains of ignorance, intolerance, and bigotry which are the South's most grievous inheritance from slavery. Fortunately, as we are happy to point out elsewhere, to the slaves like the African Southmen, like Dr Mitchell who dare to speak out freely even though running counter to the prevailing opinion, is steadily Increasing Hardly a week goes by without some brave utterance, some helpful criticism of the South by Southerners. Indeed, Booker Washington's speech through South Carolina and his dispensative help has demonstrated beyond dispute that there are men of this kind in every town who welcome an opportunity to stand up for justice and righteousness without counting the cost.—The New York Evening Post. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY The success of the Pekin Theatre in this city would lead one to the belief that if a really first-class colored play house was put up here the white theatres would have no further use for their peanut galleries.—The (Norfolk) Lodge Journal The city election was the tastest in the history of Topeka. A very light vote was polled, there being no important issue to stir up interest. It was a great success, three—two Democratic members of the council and marshal of the city court.—The Topeka Plaindealer. The idle, the vicious and intemperate Negro should watch. He disregardful every event; he makes it hard for the Negro whose life has been a credit in the community where he lives. Away with him, he is no good to you, nor is he any account to himself. Keep away from him as you do a lifelong affair. Both of them are amenities to the community. The Lexington Standard. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, but were you to start an investigation of the lives and acts of some of our so-called leaders, you would soon decide that these fellows prefer preserving the other man instead of helping self and helping the fellows who do the best in the fellows of the day. The only way we can account for such is a lack of civilization and enlightenment—The Oklahoma Tribune. The Payne Bill just recently passed in Washington though it has somewhat decreased the bulk tax on imports and exports has certainly brought little relief to the poor and the man of small means, in what the bill has increased the laying on the wearing apparel of the poor, such as buttons, wool, and cheap furnishings for women's goods. We are also applying this approach, which really reduced that the country's small-like progress toward better times will continue—The Cambridge Advocate. The exercises at the Ryman Auditorium on Thursday night brought to a close another chapter in the history of Mehray Medical College. One hundred and five received diplomas, giving them the right to go into the different States and appear before the boards of examination. These examinations are of great weight and many sacrifices will be required of them. Their constituents will be in the main people of little means, which signifies the young physician must have patience and be resourceful.—The Nashville Globe. THE NEW YORK AGE published an article last week in which it was stated that several of the Boston churches have been trying to get rid of their Negro members because of their increasing number. If this is true we find that the Negro problem in Boston is practically the same as it is here. Negroes belong to white churches in the South in small towns and to black churches in the North and South look upon the Negroes as a suspicion when they begin to multiply, organize and consolidate. The (Darlington S. C) Farmers' Corner. Some of these Negro haters who see disaster in every movement of colored men are suffering from a nervousness that only death will cure. We belong to the African-American community and country belongs to us. A race of people that has been here as long as the white man barring a few years, can hardly be called an alien or a foreigner. We hope that some of our jurists will be kind and considerate in the future of study the meaning of words in accordance with the definitions of the best lexographer. The Richardson Planet. The president will make some enlistment to meet the storms of life when they come upon him, as they are as certain to come as recognized and fixed events of human existence. There is no occupying sickness, disease and death, and there is no need to seek formal help for these sad occurrences and for a man to make provision for the relief of himself and those dependent upon him and liable to suffer in case of the disability in demise. These ill of life come as expected and it is best to be prepared for them. The Louisville Columbian To lay all the blame for present race conditions upon the white man is as unjust as it is to lay it all upon the Negro. There is a great deal that our people can do for themselves which if they would do would quicken sympathy for the black people, that causes the white man to look upon us with contempt is our disloyalty to each other. Think of the number of useful organizations started in our city that have failed because they lacked the lay city of their members. What is true of Kansas City is true of the whole county, but we are thankful that there are signs of improvement. The Kansas City Sun In the face of it all it is a matter of encouragement that the great bulk of the inhabitants of the country have Negro in all things essential to his permanent and substantial upfit. Just now when America applies to be a great world power when her statesmen jurists captains of industry and publicists are challenging the attention of the balance of mankind at its fitting that within the government they carry every in industrious element should receive justice at the hands of the State. The Negro who offers for office should stand ready for the test. He should be capable and competent. He should agree up to the American standard. This done nothing more should be expected. The Dallas Express The Negroes of Wacoross need not expect the white citizens to help them along any useful line, until they show some disposition to help themselves. They cannot show this disposition until they fully realize their needs. The Negroes of Wacoross seem to have gone so long without any ambition to possess a board of education, college, or even ask the board of education to accept the qualifications, that ignorance and criminal difference have become a second nature to them. We believe that if we can get the people to see their needs, also money and buy a school site somewhere on Hazzard. sard's Hill, when this is done, we firmly believe that the white people generally will help them erect a suitable building, and when completed the board of education will willingly contribute, each school year, toward the running expenses.—The Waycross (Ga.) News. The St Louis Masons are to be congratulated upon their purchase of a magnificent property for a hall. The building, a three-story one, built at a cost of $200,000 a year, is adapted for its purpose. Hitherto the Masons of St. Louis have paid out vast sums annually for hall rent. Now this will be stopped and a revenue will be derived from their own property. This is a wise move which reflects credit upon our St. Louis brethren. We hope community where our people are to be found in any great numbers.—The Omaha Enterprise. What a great misfortune it is to hate anybody! How bad it makes one feel! So many hate without a cause. We often grow envious of another's prosperity, and immediately set about to do them harm. The great weapon of destruction among us is slander. We, that is, the majority, seem to possess a peculiar relish for this kind of employment. They are never so happy as when they can help on a sensational rumor, and spoil the good name and reputation of some neighbor. This all results from hate.—The Baptist Sentinel. Mr Emmett J. Scott, secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, is an admirable substitute on the commission instead of Dr. B. T. Washington. We would have preferred Mr. Washington, but as his many duties require him to remain in the United States, we think the next president will be very able young man, and we are glad he has been honored by Mr. Taft on this important mission to Africa. Mr. Scott has the advantage of many men of his age by his long association with Dr. Washington who is the acknowledged owner of over 100,000 Afro-Americans.—The Providence Advance. We feel so much gratified at the sign of progress as we observe them along business and industrial lines in which colored people are engaged that we cannot resist the temptation of commenting on the situation. In every section of the city colored men, who a few months ago confessed they were fighting hard to keep from being deported, they also say they are increasing their stock and planning in every way they can to get more customers and accommodate them. One of the most encouraging signs ofvolunteerism is the emplosion of additional members of our race.—The Baltimore Advocate. Once again the Republican party has won a victory with the Negro vote. Without that vote no victory could have been possible. Last fall we voted 12,000 Negro votes. This spring we voted about 11,950, leaving out about fifty who voted with us last fall. The deserters are the most common among the race. Then we have several who returned to the town and voted in last who are expecting good appointments. But we wish to say to the party leaders that before the fatted calf is killed and proportioned out, we want some results. We shall watch the actions of those in power and see who will be elected to the regular old-time Republicans or the new comers. Please take note --The St Louis Palladium. With respect to the idle and shiftless Negroes who are like a millstone about our necks, the Nashville Clarion voices our sentiments exactly, when it says "Just at this period in the progress of the race the lazy, idle vagrant element among us should be discouraged. Every member of the race should be taught to secure and hold a job, and earn his bread in the sweat of his face. When poor people refuse to work it is evident that they will soon begin to suffer. The rate of immigration is already large enough, and the industry portion of the race should see to it that it is not made larger. Unlimited restrictions should be placed on all who are careless or indifferent to toll for their support. The Texas Fiskman ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI Should Follow Georgia's Convict-Lenear Example, Says New York Sun. Now that the faeces have all been threshed out in Georgian and the horrors of the contact base system finally extinguished should we not begin to hear of similar reforms in neighboring States? There is no reason to cheve that things are in Alabama or Mississippi at this moment. We heard of the most stronge barbarities that were practiced in that State under the system but that was only because inquiry and agitation had stimulated dissidence. It is safe to assume that under similar treatment the system would have relied conditional equally abbreviate. We remember how Senator Bankhead speaking to the good roads convention at Mobile last year discussed at great length and with the utmost melody every imaginable way of getting good roads in Alabama except that of using the convicts for the purpose. We recall also the sage who told his audience a fairy tale about the Federal treasury and the vast wealth contained therein awaiting only the "open sesame" of some inspired patron. The meeting dispersed full of good cheer and over the empty crab shells and the fragments of the conjectures they saaried the treasury to the cause of good business. Wetumpka where the private speculators divide the penitentiary among them. How do we know and what reason have we to suppose that the Alabama lessees are any more malicious and ever less than good men? Only whole is that Alabama is now no longer a system of Haskell himself off at Mobile and gave them a gust of language in exchange for their rabished banquet board. Georgan at least has done the cultivated thing in taking his contact out of the murderous hands of the losers and the wise and economical thing in dissecting their labors to the purposes of the com- munity. He has offered an example but the eyes of the whole country looking on it will at least serve as a reproach. The New York Sun Committee for Improving the Industrial Conditions of Naryan in New York The secretary of the committee desires to file the names and addresses of all the colored men who have learned mechanical trades, such as carpenter painting bricklaying, plumbing etc. Also the names and addresses of contractors and men conducting their own businesses. The office of the committee is fast becoming an important center, and, if costs are increased, the men are desired occupation in the office, it is suggested that more men take advantage of this opportunity "NEGROES ARE NOW AMERICANS Laleg Williams and Bishop Clase Disciple Taft's World and Bible It is immensely important to the well-being of the colored people of the United States that our new president has strong and wholesome views on race question in the United States. What the President feels, says and lives may be summarized as follows: (1) When he speaks in the South he speaks to all the people and recognizes their oneness in the forces that make for orderly government. Men can be white or black in compulsion, citizenship based on intelligence, character and patriotism is colorless. (2) The Negroes in things under intellectual and economic efficiency is ever increasing asset of tremendous sufficiency in the South (3) There is something reassuring in the ring of the President's work when he says that the Fifteenth Amendment has not been generally observed in the past, but it ought to be observed; that it is a great protection to the Negro, and it never will be repealed and it ought not to be repealed. Surely there is no equivocation about this. (4) The President's declared policy with reference to the appointment of colored men to public office must be interpreted in the spirit of the man whose sense of justice has been tested in many ways and has not been found wanting. (5) It is immensely significant and encouraging to hear the chief executive of the nation state with unaffected cery: "Personally, I have not the slightest race prejudice." To believe this is our duty and our encouragement. (6) The new President has been a earnest student of the Negro's program and no man in public life appreciates the significance of this progress more than the President Taft, and no man in public life appreciates the sheer force of his moral courage in the face of wholesome influence on Southern thought than President Taft. He has toled the conscience of the South as no other man has done in his insistence on the violability of the Fifteenth Amendment Men in the South, who, ten years ago, appealed to him in behalf of Negro citizenization that student Taft in the spirit of acquiescence and agreement. Colored men in the South, and indeed everywhere, will take hope since there has come to the presidency a man who is heard and heeded when he appeals to the conscience of American questions: justice to the ever increasing aspiring Negro man and woman of ambition. It behooves us to take every possible advantage of these favorable auctions. The new administration, committed as it is to the improvement of the North and the South closer together, but also to make more prominent and permanent, in every way possible, the progressive and regenerating forces among the people of the country. Assessment of the good forces that make for the success in all directions of human endeavor. Under these new conditions it will be our privilege to contribute no insignificant success of President Taft's administration. S. LAING WILLIAMS Ass't U S. Dist. Atty at Chicago I appreciate your invitation to have give my opinion concerning President Taft's inaugural address, especially that part relating to the South and the Negro, for the columns of your great paper. Two things impressed me when I first read the President's admirable and compassionate First, its frankness in taking the people, over whom he presides as chief magistrate into his confidence as to his purpose, and as to his plans for the furtherance of that purpose. The spirit of good will and kindly interest, the welfare of all the people, and a desire to have all parts of the spirit which prompted him to sound this timely and useful note as a necessary factor in having the government fulfil its true mission for all the people through the office of President, the will of the qualified electors. It seems to me that the President has spoken well and wisely by assuring the South that he will endeavor to make his administration serve its best interest and that he will shall cherize his efforts in behalf of the section. As to his attitude concerning the Negro portion of his constituency, it may be said when his inaugural is examined without reading between the lines or reading into a what does not appear to be a sentence. What he says about the Third季度, Fourth季度 and Fifth季度 is all that we could desire of him, and I think when the nation comes around to the President's press and is willing to enforce this view, the Negro will be fully satisfied. That the anti Negro portion of the South and the Southern press generally have read between the lines or read into the opinion that the President is not stated concerning his attitude as to the appointment of Negroes to office in the South and are consoling themselves with the opinion that the President intends to eliminate the Negro as an office holder in the South as the terms of present legislation expire as just what it might be expected. In the meanwhile, the race to exercise patience and to lure I believe that President Hawes and just as he is officiating the election of the new leaders, I if I am not sure in opinion the Negro will have nothing fear as to his interest whether it lates to office holding or in any way good under the Taft administration, let us also the President time, and let and that our cause is not forging let us go to him in a manly and undo- way and he shall he will beat on cause and he shall he plea Charlotte, N.C. BISHOP GEORGE W CLINTON April 1, 1909 WASHINGTON EXAMINATIONS Said to Be, Many Instances, a Grotesque Farce MANY APPOINTMENTS Made Wherein Teachers Failed To Pass Examinations; Others Denied Schools Who Pass Special to The New York AQR WASHINGTON, D. C., April 21.—The AQR is in receipt of many letters, divi- rected to the staff correspondent who is instituting a series of letters on the Wash- ington schools. Some are bitter in their denunciation, and others are compli- mentary. Some charge that certain teachers, and others charge that I have not to hold, and give me some information derogatory of this or that teacher, or of this or that school's dis- I treat all with respectful indifference, for in my investigations I have secured all the information desired, and some of it fairly bristles with sensation. As to favoritism, that is far less than Boost of these letters, namely that the deserved complaining school is paid Armstrong Manual Junior School is but part of a scheme of the advocates of industrial education to "boost" this branch of education at the expense of higher education. A little inquiry made as to the nature of the Armstrong school that this particular school is being "boosted" by the parents and pupila, and does not require another "boost." I do not intend to parallel or diverge the two branches of education. My purpose is primarily to deal with the schools in so far as the competency or incompetence of the teachers concerned I instituted that ten per cent of the teaching force of the Washington Negro schools in incompetent, and I repeat it. I declared that the board members know it; that the assistant superintendent knows it; that the principal knows it; that the principals know it. I repeat this declaration. If there is any doubt on this score, in the minds of the before-mentioned superiors, let the Board of Education call for an examination, fairly and impartially conducted, and the result will support my declaration. I have been pretty generally admitted that in the not very dim past, examinations for Negro teachers in Washington have been a grotesque farce. Some of those who actually failed were passed and given schools, and some who actually denied schools. The latter constituted those poor unfortunate who had no "pull." In justice to the many competent and splendid teachers in the schools, the dead branches should be clipped from the tree. There are many of them, and the majority, who have as thoroughly consecrated their lives to the education and uplift of their Negro pupils as ever a nun or monk consecrated her or his life to the sombre walls and exacting sacrifices of the conde and monastery, who are similarly qualified to receive the same reward—in salary—as do these incompetent teachers, and too infrequently, in the past, have the splendidly qualified and devoted teachers witnessed the advance over them of teachers whose abilities were far higher a joke than a serious proposition. It is charged in Washington, and not behind fans either, that some teachers are retained because of a feeling of pity, others because of pull, and others because of fear if the teachers in school were conducted as schools in other cities, the giving to the superintendent free reins as to the personnel of the teaching staff, possibly better results would obtain. In talking with a prominent and old resident of Washington, and who, by the way, is a very accomplished woman, she said "There is perhaps no city in the world when the love of music among Negro people is more pronounced and where this art is more generally cultivated than in Washington and this fact would suggest that 'the head of the music department of the Negro school' set the man who is in charge of the music of our Negro schools never had any especial wholesale training. He is little more than a make shift. The white school authorities would not dare impose upon the white schools a white supervisor of music who had such a limited training for the work as the one in charge of the music of the Negro schools. The Negro pupils be given the benefit of musical ability and musical preparedness equal to that which the whites enjoy?" This question, I find is a prevalent one in Washington. I find also that this particular interview quoted is corroborated by many others. If an examiner in the Northwest for today director in the Northwest for today doubt the present director would stand at the head. It is pretty generally believed by Washingtons that he would simply be in the same class. There is nothing further to prove a grounnel or an earnest ideal; I learn from a simple question of musical ability and fitness. A lover of music myself, a firm believer in the good influences of the art of music upon both children and appreciate the needs of the Washingtons. I groan at the emphasis of the ter and I ask of Roud Edbarton this question. If there was a vacancy in the head of the music department of the white schools and if the present head of the music department of the white schools was white taking only into consideration his known ability and known needlessness would he select him to fill that vacancy? fair question Fair because schools, and the Negro child settled to as high order of the white schools and write if you gave Harriet Carson an indention of the Negro should you go to the police supervisor of music? a snap of the finger for the supervisor of the Negro in or a lady is concerned question that calls for an interview the Negro pupils are students supervisor princes equal to the whites? a slave having young men and of any who站 in and take the of the old fossils and in the record the advancement and give them a fuse to camped teachers rather prepared Negro teachers Negro pupils who goarn drawback to the Negro Washington has been the preface of high Negro govern-ment, they may hereto be considered to the front for this or that appointment or promotion. In short, they have been so officious that they were continually sticking their nose in matters of education and applying offensive politics to a subject that is near and dear to thousands of Negro children of the District. It is whispered in "the House of Usher" that the present assistant superintendent in charge of the Negro schools turned up the numbers (high numbers of these H. N. O's (high Negro officials), and had the audacity to let it be known that the public schools of Washington was not a field for marauding politicians. And to think a Negro superintendent of schools in Washington would be so bereft of feminine characteristics as to really aspire to the masculine gender, to the extent that they are not a part of H. N. O. This surely is an ominous sign. It bespeaks progress. I am "coming through the rye," and bringing along some exhibits that when catalogued will make ye Washington parents of young hopefuls sit up and take notice, and ask the question—Are our children favored up are some of the teachers favored by outside pully? BURDEN OF SCHOOL (Continued from Page 1) Negroes engaged in the simplest lines of manual labor. "The first step in the education of the great body of the Negro race is to inspire a desire to do better the labor they are called upon to perform, and to rid them of a willingness to live poorly, if perchance a meager support can be made with half-time labor. "Experience shows that Negroes improve most rapidly where there are fewest Negroes in proportion to the number of whites. The best friend of the Negro should seek his distribution to all sections. This can be accomplished by more white settlers coming South and more Negroes going North, East and West. President R.C.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 21.—The Monacans' second assembly Wednesday evening of Easter week proved the most enjoyable social event of the year. Its purpose to drive away the dull care and self-willed monotony of the Lenten season was admirably accomplished, lending a retouch of tone to the capital social organization. The affair was the reproduction of the former effort of the Monacans in March on a more elaborate scale, the executive committee, consisting of the president, the treasurer and Harry H. Cardozo, profiting by the experiences of the earlier occasion. The hall was decorated with Easter lilies, rendering a color scheme in green and white. In addition there were an equal number of palms and ferns and a dozen or more of lilies containing electric bulbs. An Anthurium, a green and white electric scutcheon bordering the stage of the auditorium and spelling in colors the name of the club. These effects were arranged by Arthur C. Newman, of Armstrong Technical High School. A canopy effect in wall and ceiling decoration of carved and burning images, flames and stream arranged by Burton lend an idea of rich palatial splendor. As a general refreshment the frappe was served on the ballroom floor through out the evening. These arrangements are more elegant and were quite successful. The rights of the supper room were kept more brilliant than the subdued effects in the ballroom. The supper table decorated with two large azaleas underhair fern and a large vase of flowers. Lax and twists of spun here and there, presented in predominance the green and white scheme. This, too, was presented by the favors and souvenirs. The former were distributed on promenade and the latter were placed in a color. The latter were small green boxes containing creme de merte tied with white bow and containing the inscription "Monneau's Easter Assembly" 1926. The officers of the Monacons are James Walker, president Frank W. Check Vice president Robert T. Donglass, Secretary and W L. D. Wilkinson, Treasurer. Together with the ex-college committees they are to be credited with giving the capital a model function.

"The Greee Gree and Devil Bushes are secret institutions for the moral, social and religious development of the youths both sexes." "The Greee of the Greee Gree Bush is called a Zoah, and the head of the Devil Bush, a country Devil. The term devil has not the same significance as in our language. The location of these bushes, or lodges, is in the thickest of the woods. The paths leading to them are labyrinthine. Byrssi burrowing is taken to the air of mystery which the weird tales told by the native healer the air of mystery which is made to surround everything which relates to them, are sufficient to guard the curious from approach. Yet, lest some man should stray accidentally into the entrance, a white cloth is to be thrown to a pole at the head of the path as a danger signal. This is always sufficient warning. "These bushes are the most popular institutions in West Africa among the non Christian natives. Their purpose in the main is exalted. The Greec Greec Bush is pledged to the preparation of manliness for their life work. It instructs us in the principles of strength as well as the principles of their wisdom. So impressive are these lessons that even Christianity itself is said to be powerless to remove the impression in after life. The purity of those trained by them is wicked for.

IMMIGRATION AIDS WHITES Democrat Ayns Negroes Outstrip Nats Live Whites in Natural Increase WasitNorton, March 28 In a study of census figures covering a century of growth of population in the United States made public today, Director North without intending it, shows that native whites and the Negroes are engaged in the native white in woofly outlapped. From 1790 to 1900 the Negroes increased 1007 per cent. During the century from 1800 to 1900 the native whites increased 688 per cent. Immigration has saved the population has lost 011, as against 1007 for the Negroes. In 1780 the Negroes formed 193 per cent of the population. Now, however, they have declined to 11.6 per cent. In the first mentioned year, for every one North States white people slaves. In 1850 the proportion had declined to 49 per cent. In 1900 the proportion had decreased to 19 showing a decline of one per hundred of whites. The proportion of blacks to whites in the Southern States was twice that in Maryland to 140. In South Carolina the slaves in 1780 are estimated to have been worth $145,000,000 of which the South had $88,000,000. New England (where it was not profitable to keep them) $155,000 and the Middle States have not been maintained in 1800 there would have been but 41,000,000 whites and about 15,000,000 Negroes. The figures, however, have remained white and 88,330,000 Negroes. While the Negroes as a whole in increased 1997 per cent in the 110 years Director North in another place figures that if the necessities to the black population by reason of immigration and by the Negroes in the United States during the century between 1900 and 1000 increased at the rate of only 667 per cent, against 686 by the white people then in the country. In other words he finds that the wild Negroes brought in between 1700 and 1850 were much more numerous than the white people. The Director concludes that while there is only 15 children in the white family, the people of the colonial stock have an average of 18 children per family indicating that the descendants of recent immigrants are not nearly so prolific as their fathers nor as prolific as the older Americans, such as found in the 80th century.

Old Indian Snuff Mills Music and the Stage ```markdown ``` WHEN IS A NEGRO A NEGRO? HERE is an all-absorbing question, one which at times calls for the expenditure of as much mental activity as does the puzzling subject of perpetual motion. The question at issue is "When is a Negro a Negro to a Caucasian?" We, of the so-called black race declare among ourselves that it is not a very difficult matter to determine one another's identity but those of the white race, at times, show such lamentable ignorance in "determining who is who," that we are beginning to wonder by what standard do they differentiate as to when is a Negro a Negro? Since the St Louis World's Fair, when hundreds of dark-skinned people came to this country, it has been even more perplexing to the white citizens to make the racial distinctions along their peculiar lines. Added to this is the fact that the Negro is increasing in culture and refinement at a fast rate, and, after hearing from time to time some ludicrous story of mistaken race identity on the part of some white person, leads one to form the conclusion that after all it is not so much a case of color and appearance as ways, mannerisms and deportment The colored performer has many unusual experiences on this question. Traveling from town to town, often playing in localities where there are no colored citizens—at least none capable of offering, suitable lodging and accommodations—he is thrown in contact with whites, and it is not infrequent that he makes a "grand-stand play" about being other than a Negro. that is, when it is evident that prejudice exists against Negroes, and there is a possibility of playing in the town without having a place to refer to as "home." From Los Angeles, Cal., comes the following story in which Hodges and Launchmere were principals. In writing to THE AGE these two well-known performers incidentally remarked that they did not care much for Tonopah New, and then related the following incident. On the first day of their arrival in Tonopah they took their meals at a white restaurant. The next day Mr. Hodges went in alone and asked to be served breakfast. He was informed by the waiter that he could not be served Upon demanding an explanation for being treated in such a manner the information was given that some of the patrons had been complaining about the management catering to colored people. With a display of feeling the colored performer asked the waiter "Haven't you sense enough to see that I am not a black man?" whereupon the waiter answered "Is that so well what are you going to eat? I am sorry of accusing you of being a Negro Pardon me, but of what nationality are you?" Mr. Hodges explained that he was an English Jew, ordered soft-boiled eggs, bacon, toast and black coffee, ate his breakfast and was treated with the highest respect. Now, any colored person can tell what John Hodges is, and he asks the writer this question: "Can you heat that? They can't tell a Negro when they see one." Now Desmond and Bailey are two nice-appearing young women who are refined in their ways, but what colored person would take them for other than members of the Negro race? Yet in a small town in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago they unconsciously created an interesting discussion on the race question. They were booked to play East Liberty Pa. a town where but few colored people live. Having experienced some trouble on previous occasions relative to securing eating and sleeping accommodations, they learned at the station where the white vaudeville performers boarded and held themselves to the place designated. As no questions were asked as to their racial identity they did not vouchsafe the information that they were members of the Negro race. The hotel was conducted by a Swede—one who while he has not been in this country any too long, always shakes hands with himself about his great insight on the Negro problem. Although there are objected to colored performers stopping at the same hotel with the whites. When she protested the hotel keeper indignantly denied that Desmond and Bailey were colored and put up $10 to support his contention. He not only put up the money but offered to allow the leading doctor of the town to decide the bet. His argument was so strong that the white woman performer refused to bet. Next day he related the incident to Desmond and Bailey concluding by saying "Just as if don't know a d—n nigger when I see one," to which they replied "Yes you are all right!" EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON seriouss of her husband to the contrary. A few days ago the vaudeville team Smith and La Rose was booked to appear at small vaudeville house in New York City, and on the appointed day put in appearance for rehearsal. The stage manager did not extend them a cordial greeting when they reported to him, in fact, treated them coolly. After waiting around for a few minutes John Smith informed the stage manager that he was ready to rehearse his music. He was greatly surprised to learn that there would be no rehearsal, and that the act had been cancelled. This statement greatly angered the colored performer, who demanded a reason for such a sudden change of plans. He stage manager took the male member of the team aside and confided that when the team was booked to play the theatre the agent had notified the management that it was composed of colored people. However, it had been discovered that it was a mixed team, composed of a colored man and a white woman. Why, the patrons of this theatre would not stand for you working with a white woman, declared the stage manager Smith and La Rose tried hard to convince the man that they both had the honor to belong to the same race, and were colored, and furthermore, that they were man and wife. But the stage manager remained firm in his belief that there was a vast racial difference between the two. So on account of the white man's knowledge of colored people, he too evidently being impressed with his remarkable knowledge of the Negro race by having come in contact with many, Smith and La Rose lost a week's work. What is puzzling to the writer is when a white manager in referring to a colored performer, says she is and the antithetic what can be done in the meantime to prove to him that she "antit" WHERE THE BIG SHOWS ARE BILD MOON Holiday Theatre, Ralt- mour, Md.

It was now been informed of his true condition which is said to be a serious. A few weeks ago the well known comedian felt much improved in health and many who saw him were of the opinion that it would not be before the "Unplanned America" would be seen on the stage. However his condition has grown steadily worse during the past ten days.

The company played at the Metropolitan Temple, 14th street and 4th avenue. April 17, giving a jubilee concert IN THE SPORTING WORLD AT last Jim Jeffries, former champion heavyweight of the world, has decided to fight Jack Johnson, present champion. After four months of hard training, he has concluded that he is in fit condition to re-enter the ring, and has publicly challenged Johnson to fight for the world's championship before the close of 1900. Johnson should derive much satisfaction from the issuance of such a deli coming from Jeffries, who has for a number of years drawn the color he although he did not object to fighting a number of colored men years ago. There is one thing that is almost a certainty, and that is. Johnson will return good for evil, and instead of drawing the color line, will accommodate Jeffries and accept his challenge. Jeffries decided to fight Johnson brings to life one little secret—that the champion would have fought Johnson long ago, but he did not know whether he could ever get in good enough condition to re-enter the ring. He, therefore, set up the convenient cry of "color line" If Jeffries can really get in good enough condition to fight the present champion, he should be Johnson's logical choice. Just why the champion signed an agreement last week to meet Stanley Ketchel in a twenty-round bout for heavyweight honors at the Colma Athletic Club on October 12, 2011, as a mystery player. But Ketchel must be claffed Johnson into such an agreement, or Johnson saw versions of large sums of money, as Ketchel is not in his class. Johnson could be well afforded to have gone about making big money in the theatrical business and waited until a bigger man showed up, instead of taking a fighter out of the midweight class to combat for heavyweight honors. And then, they are to light in California where Britt hails from and we all have heard about the "no" It would have been more fitting for Britt to have arranged a match between Ketbel and Sam Langford the man of whom all seem to be afraid Sam McVey Dethroned For over a year Sam McVey, of California, has been the pride of Paris. He is one colored man who has been paid homage by the French people. But Saturday their idol fell, and another coloredighter—Joe Jeannette—took his place. Maybe he will not be as well liked personally as McVey, but the sporting fraternity of Paris has not the exalted opinion of McVey it once had. In the greatest fight witnessed in France since John L. Sullivan and Charley Mitchell fought their 30-round draw at Chantilly in 1888, Jeanette defeated McVey Saturday. In the fifth round of a final fight. A great crowd witnessed a game exhibition of the Negro heavyweights, the contest lasting for three hours and a half, McVey had the better of the fight up to forthright, and the fight up to twenty-fourth, twenty-second rounds he had the New Yorker so groggy that the latter barely could keep on his feet. Jeanette bore the punishment bravely and recuperated in a wonderful manner. McVey had almost worn himself out after forty rounds, and by this time the New York fighter was coming back. By effective infighting he gradually beat the Californian, and practically had him knocked out when the fight ended. McVey's seconds throwing up the sponge Jeanette was the favorite in the betting and the crowd was cheering. It is understood that Jeanette now intends to issue a challenge to "Jack" Johnson for the championship of the world. --- Langford Adda Another Victory Langford adds Another Victory. In one of the best fights between heavy men seen here in a long time, Sam Langford of Boston, the colored man who may get a chance at Jack Johnson, the world's champion, Saturday evening defeated Al Kublak, the Michigan giant at the National Athletic Club, in six rounds. The referee would have awarded the fight to the Boston man had a decision on points been allowed by local law. Langford forced the fighting in every round and punished Kublak severely. The latter however, was game and gave his opponent a great battle. He did best, but he was not a winner, although he was tired, he kept coming back at Langford, and was cheered for showed himself a fighter of the first class, giving a most clever exhibition of skill. Baseball Notes. Evidently the managers of the baseball parks in New York City and Bran have made up their minds to grant Sol White and his Quaker Giants, and Pop Watkins and his Brooklyn Giants dates even if they do not belong to the International League of Colored Baseball Clubs. Announcement has just been issued that the Quaker Giants and Pop Watkins nine will meet at Ridgway Park Brooklyn May 2, and we would not be burdened by hear of other dates within a few days. Several colored newspapers throughout the country have taken up the content of Tup Acq that the colored manager of the East became as prominent as that in the baseball world as are the colored managers in Chicago St. Paul and other cities. It is rumored that Manager Connors of the Royal Giants has been approached to join the other The Island Giants are making a great trip through the South in a Pullman. They will play all the large towns in Texas reaching Chicago May 2 when they will have traveled more than 1,000 miles. The 'Bell Smith' of New York is one of the best known baseball players in the Fast and Phil Reed managers of the St. Paul Gophers are with the Leands.

For more information, Dr. York Russell, a noted New York Physician may: "The course of study of Pharmistry and allied subjects, as taught at the Glo School of Mental Science is useful and interesting. I speak of the school not from hear say, but from actual experience having been a pupil from Dr. G. R. Mincks. Her teaching does not deal in anything like vengeance, neither does it contain any scientific knowledge, but in some cases it involves injury, science, but is an esteemed patron of a genuine and scientific psychic conjure. I recommend the school and its principal to all those who have a high esteem for these branches of philosophic studies." Further particulars upon application by mail or in person to ADENA C. E.
