CITIZENS OF WASHINGTON Secretly and With Much Tenderly for Fear of Ostracism and Relentless Antagonism SHOOTING INCIDENT In Recalled—Said to Remain a Mystery— School Authorities Looked Upon to Clear up Case special to THE NEW YORK AOR. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 27. — I have seen clippings from Washington newspapers giving an account of a shooting affair there in which one of the Negro women teachers, a principal I believe, was one of the victims. The reason for the shooting, if any, remains a mystery, though, it is said, teachers, scholars and the Negro public generally are quietly talking and shaking their heads ominously. I opine the school authorities will try to solve the mystery, if mystery it is. I pass the affair up without further comment other than to state that the time to dig potatoes is in the early fall. It seems to me that those tender plants—the school children—should be taught and governed, while in school, by teachers upon whom the breath of scandal cannot blow. It is right, and it is essential to their future, that the teachers be men and women possessed of the best possible mental attainments. It is more urgent that they be men and women of the highest possible morality. Purity is the first essential requisite of a school teacher. When gossip grows so bold as to insinuate fixed morals, it's time for the school authorities to get busy. The public may, now and then, stand for an incompetent teacher, but for one about whom there is even whispered scandal, the public will not stand. The faction in Turkey known as the "Young Turks" were aroused to action against the Sultan primarily because of his immorality, which is, in the final analysis, the basic cause for the atrocities committed in the Mostem empire, under the Sultan. They intimated to me, that is some few did, when I was gathering facts and 'data', that an embryotic organization to agitate for purity and proficiency in the teachers' staff of the Negro schools of Washington was in course of crystallization. There cannot be assembled, I know, a force of over five hundred persons, even of the most highly mentally endowed, without having at least one black sheep among them. You cannot, at random, gather five hundred ministers of the gospel together without having one or more whose moral attributes will fail of perfection. On the whole, I believe that the Negro teachers in the Washington schools are men and women of known purity, in so far as morals are concerned. If there are any whose morals fall below the one hundred per cent, pure, the superintendent, the supervisors and the principals could, if sworn to secrecy, give the name or names. In my investigation I have been made conversant with the fact that all Washingtonians approach the Negro school question with temerity and hasten from it with fear. They will discuss and criticize the schools and teachers in the privacy of their homes in whispers, but they fear to come out openly. They fear ostracism, and worse, relentless antagonism, should they come out in the open and, as the Irishman would say, give days and dates. If they did their lives would be rendered almost as miserable as the victim of the blackband's threats. This fear of ostracism, this fear of relentless antagonism, to a great degree, accounts for the toleration of incompetent teachers, and in the not far removed period, for the retention of teachers (a very limited few) whose garments and trailed in the filth of immorality. Even the superintendent of the Negro schools walks and moves in fear. He knows, as great, happy, fearful, weary, and unhappy, that he stalks, and yet having the interests of the pupils dearly at heart, he like Plometheus, so bound with the fear of bitter and unjustifiable detainment that he darenot proceed in the organization of the schools as the requirements demand. He moves cautiously, like a ship in the fog, fearing all the while a collision with spiteful enemies. Where he given the superintendence in reality, and not simply in the absence, he be backed up by the Negro local members as his position should demand, and were he made to feel that the victim of enemies would be exposed before the snake could strike, and were he made to feel that he was the pilot of the ship, the occupants of opinion among the air, and earnest parents with whom he lived is that order would be treated out of chaos, the dead branch could be clipped, the weeds could be chipped, and the stumps would be cleared from what otherwise is a building field of promising matz. Where he lived adopted, he is forced to use diplomacy, and diplomacy is often a synonym for deceit. When quick decisive action is needed, he is forced to dally with delay. This is not only true of the present superintendent, but it has been true of every one who preceded him. Dr. Montgomery was charged with being a "trimmer" and a middle-of-the-road man: consider, what he had to contend against. If he veered to the right he met denunciations, if he veered to the left, more denunciations, if he hesitated his reward was criticism, if he accelerated, greater criticism. And the present superintendent of the Negro schools in Washington has found little if any change in conditions. If a Negro member of the school board seeks a political office he is expected to endorse him, although he may know there are other, and many other, candidates far more likely to land. He feels, to some extent, that he is the creature of that board member. Or at least he is made to feel he is. And what can be said of a member of a school board who would ask, or even expect, the principals and teachers to endorse him for political office? If a school board member requests him to recommend this or that person for appointment or promotion, even though he may know the applicant is unfitted, he feels that non-compliance with that request means the emmity of that member. I do not say the present superintendent has ever been approached for his endorsement and influence for a member who wants political office, for I do not know, and I really consider the present Negro members above such questionable action. I am only inferentially speaking. I am just trying to point out that the superintendency of the Negro schools in Washington or anywhere else for that matter, is not a downy couch strewn with violets and roses. It is not a realm of bliss. It requires tact, diplomacy, and everything else, including hard and incessant work. SALARY OF MAJ. BROOKS. Raised to $1,400 a Year by Order of President Taft. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 27. By order of President Taft the salary of his confidential messenger, Maj. Arthur Brooks, has been raised from $1,200 to $1,400 a year. This act on the part of the President is highly commended by those who served Brooks, and who have followed his career in the District of Columbia the past two decades. He is not only a popular, but is one of Washington's most useful Negro citizens. For many years he has been the commanding officer of the First Separate Battalion of the District National Guards, an organization that ranks high among the citizen soldiers of the country, and has long been the pride of the Negro people of the District of Columbia. He is the instructor of the Cadet Corps of the colored high schools of this city, whose splendid work year after year attests his efficiency as a drillermaster. When Judge Taft became President he at once directed the transfer of Maj. Brooks from the War Department to the White House. Negro Foreman of Jury. ROCHESTER, N., Y., April 27.—For the first time in the history of this city a Negro was foreman of a Supreme Court jury. James A. Ross is the one to gain such distinction having been foreman in Justice Pound's court. The case at issue was brought by the sons of the late Charles Newman to break the will of the testator. The jury, however, sustained the will. UNITED STATES SENATOR. Appenra 'in Court and Secures Negro's Acquittal. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 24.—Senator William Alden Smith, of Michigan, voluntarily appeared in Judge Kimball's, police court last Friday to defend Robert A. Pelham, a Negro, of Detroit, a clerk in the Census Bureau, Policeman Watts, who arrested Pelham, charged him with disorderly conduct. Judge Kimball did not know the senator, who took his place by the defendant's side when the case was called. "What is your name," he asked the judge. "Smith, Your Honor," the senator answered with sufficient indefiniteness. "And your are a member of the District bar?" "Yes, sir." The senator's questioning quickly developed that a Negro woman was arrested near Pelham's home and that he was attracted by the crowd around her and Policeman Watts. Pelham saw Watts club the woman and, indignant, took the names of several witnesses with the idea of seeing that the woman got justice. Then Watts arrested him. These witnesses were called in Pelham's defense. Senator Smith examined them and closed the case with these words: "This man was apprehended unfairly, unjustly. I come before this court as his personal friend, but I ask only justice for him." Judge Kimball discharged Pelham Admiring "Smith's" eloquence, the judge made inquiries and learned his identity. CHAIRMAN SHREEVES Has Been Asked to Deliver an Address Before the Alliance on "Why Should the Negro be Disfranchised?" BALTIMORE, Md., April 27. There are few Democrats in this city who would refuse the chairmanship of the Democratic City Committee, but at this time B. B. Shreeves, chairman, is not to be envied, as his position is not considered any too comfortable, due to the activity of the Ministerial Alliance, composed of Negro ministers here. As the question of Negro disfranchisement bobs up in Maryland every year and is being discussed by a few Democrats who desire to make it an issue this fall, the Negro ministers decided to put the chairman of the Democratic City Committee on record as to whether he favored or opposed Negro disfranchisement. Sueh hostile issues usually emanate from the politicians in the rural districts, but the Negro ministers, agreed to get the views of Chairman Shreeves on the subject, and accordingly, wrote him a letter. The letter was in form of an invitation, asking the chairman of the Democratic City Committee to address the Alliance on the subject "Why Should the Negro be Disfranchised?" Up to date no answer has been received from Chairman Shreves either in the affirmative or the negative, and the members of the Allieann are wondering if the head of the City Committee is debating with himself whether to appear before the Ministerial Alliance and tussle the subject in the middle ground of displeasure of the conservative candidates or make a speech telling the ministers that he does not think the Negro should be disfranchised and receive the condemnation of the radical element. The Ministerial Alliance is composed of the Negro clergy of the churches of the various denominations of Baltimore and vicinity, and is doing much to better conditions here. Test Jim Crow Regulations. St. Louis, April 26—The validity of Oklahoma's "Jim Crow" railroad regulations is left to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals by a petition filed here last week by Negro residents of Oklahoma. They appealed from the United States, Circuit Court of Oklahoma, where the railroads' demurrer was sustained. NEW ACADEMY ASSOCIATES. Six Sculptors and Twelve Painters, Incl. H. O. Tanner.

WASHINGTON, April 14, 1911. William M. Stewart, former United States senator from Nevada, and known as the author of the Fifteenth Amendment, died last Friday at the Georgetown University Hospital. His death resulted from an operation performed on March 31 for organic trouble. He was 88 years of age and had been only a few weeks. After the operation there was a temporary improvement in his condition. About a week ago, however, he suffered a relapse and steadily lost ground. He is survived by a wife, who was formerly the wife of Col. Theodore Cone of Georgian. She is Senator Stewart's second wife. His first wife was Miss Annie B. Foote, daughter of former Senator Foote of Mississippi. Mr. Stewart leaves two daughts. His best known achievement as senator was the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution, of which he was the author. His share in the defeat of the force bill later was another of his biggest achievements. President Grant offered to appoint him Supreme Court Justice, but he declined, and in 1875 retired to look after "his business and mining interests in the West. For twelve years he had an adventurous career and thus was returned to the Senate, where, though a Republican, he took an active part in the free silver controversies. The demonetization of silver he gave the crime of "73" and the phrase became associated with his name. He continued to fight for free silver and even deserted his party to form a Nevada silver party in 1892 and to vote, for Bryan in 1896 when silver was the issue. He returned to the Republican fold in 1900 and remained a Republican until he retired in 1905. After that he divided his time between Washington, his farm in Virginia and his mines in the West. Mr. Stewart was born in Lyons, N. Y., in 1825. He studied at Yale and read law at odd times. In 1852 he became District Attorney of Nevada City on the same day he was admitted to the bar. He was a reputation for fearlessness. He could shoot strangers and soon be sent to San Francisco and served a law partnership with Henry S. Foote, who had been senator and governor of Mississippi. He married Foote's daughter and when the Comstock lode was discovered he went to look it over and took part in the Indian fighting which was waged in that part of the West. He became financially interested in mining ventures and when western Utah was organized into the Territory of Nevada he jumped into prominence in its government. ELKS OF NEW JERSEY. Win Big Victory—Gov. Fort Vetoes Bill Designed to Prevent Negro Lodges. TRENTON, N. J., April 27.—The Negro Elks have won another victory. Gov. Fort of New Jersey has taken sides with them and has refused to law him to keep Negro Elks out of that State. Assemblyman Burpo recently introduced a bill in the legislature designed to prevent Negro organizations from using the name and emblems of the Elks. A large delegation of Negroes appeared before Gov. Fort and protested against such a bill becoming a law, and the chief executive of the State vetoes the measure. In the delegation were George B. Bates of Jersey-City, A. B. Cosey of Newark and J. E. Churchman of Orange. It was only several weeks ago that a similar bill was killed in the Massachusetts legislature. PITTSBURG DISAPPROVES CONTEST. Unaffairfactory End of Popularity Contest—Rev. Brown Talks to Men. Pittsburgh, Pa., April 24.—The Popularity Contest which was recently given under the auspices of Trinity Congregational Church, and which has been decided, did not end, with the same interest with which it started. When it was announced that this contest would determine the most popular preacher, the most popular lawyer, the most interested to know the result of the election. The most popular preacher was to be given a suit of clothing to cost fifty dollars, the doctor to receive an emergency case, and the lawyer and office desk. There are twenty doctors, six lawyers and several hundred preachers. There are very few butlers, nurses, licehouses, these professional men are, regarded as the leaders of the race. The prominence of the contestants caused every one to be anxious for the decision. But when it was learned that the popularity of each contestant was to be determined by the number of votes sold to the women and girls, the policy was to give the prizes to the princes for the honor withdrew. When the decision was rendered, and the prizes awarded, only five doctors were in the race and not a single preacher. While it has been truly said that Pittsburgh preachers and churches are not by any means what they should be. It is to the credit of the ministers that not preachers were used, although those who used, Rev. W. W. Brown, pastor Ethenez Baptist Church, said if he wanted a fine suit of clothing he would buy it, that he could not wear one secured in any such way. The last doctor who withdrew said he did it because a young girl had been approved to manage his contest and gave her time to prepare. But her time was prominent doctors in the city, never thought of entering the contest because they did not approve of it from the beginning. LIBERIAN COMMISSION Reading from left to right Emmatt J. Scott, R. P. Falkner and Dr. George Sale President of Liberia College Accused of Immorality—Many Charges of Lewdness Made Against Him MONROVIA, LIBERIA, March 18. — In my last letter I stated that Liberia has no system of public schools. Mrs. Thompson's school at "Peniel House," with its average of fifteen boys and girls all told, and Mrs. Jane Sharp's school accommodating some half dozen or more girls, are the chief sources of elementary education for the one and a half million people of this country. These schools, though small, are the only ones that seek to train the students in useful arts. The grounds about Mrs. Thompson's school were cleared and are in a fine state of productiveness. As for Mrs. Sharp, her good influence is felt everywhere. I repeat that these two women have the LIBERIAN Reading from left to right Emmatt J. S. only schools that seem to be sailing in the right channel. The only institution that may at all wear the name, is Liberia College, located here in Mónrovia, the most unfit place for it in the world, and it is supported by the government. But alas the whole scheme of the college is like the house built on sand. It has no foundation. It is a mistake. It has begun like our people in America began, at the wrong end. A glance at the curriculum will explain what I mean. This curriculum has listed among its subjects, Latin, Greek, Arabic, French, moral and intellectual philosophy, law and political economy, psychic culture and conic sections. All of this, and the soil idle, or cultivated in the crudest manner; not one good road in the country, no decent harbors, no manufactories, no stock raising, no fences, no dredging of rivers; in a word, not one sign of practical, useful education to be seen anywhere. But taken even as a college, it is a woeful failure. Though forty-five years old, and provided by the government with an annual income, formerly $10,000 and sow of $12,000, it is practically destitute of benches and desks. Its rooms are uncared for, its library dirty and filled with old and useless books; it has no chemical laboratory, no collections of minerals nor specimens, only an apology for a lexicon, and no encyclopedia. Its faculty is conspicuously inferior; its students few in number, lazy, shiftless, hungry-looking, vain, pseudo-learned, monthing lives, disinterested, wishing. Above all, it lacks what is the very bone and sinew of any institution. It has no high ideals, lays no emphasis upon studiousness, upon character building, upon the dignity of work, or upon service for one's fellows. But how could it be otherwise? Its president, Dr. Robert R. Richardson, who, by the way, is also Associate Justice of the Supreme Courts and Presiding Officer of the National Baptist Convention, is a by-word for all that is incompetent as an educator; and for all that is infamous in morals. I have called on Dr. Richardson several times. Of course, knowing that I was an American, he had his best foot forward, outwardly courteous, and anxious to please. But for all that, he wore the expression of a crafty, guilty man. He seemed never certain, always expecting an attack from somewhere. As for his ability as an educator, it is the common statement of the members of the faculty and of those who work about him, that he is ignorant of the methods of present- day education, inefficient as an administrator, and obstinate to any new methods introduced by the members of his faculty. The charges of immorality against him, which even his closest friends do not dispute with any great vigor, would divide most men of a position in a brothel. It is charged on all sides that he is habitually intemperate, that he abandons himself to lewdness among the students, and that his vicious practices with the male students of the college, are too shameless and criminal to put on paper. No only are these charges preferred against him by men in general, but they are repeated and affirmed by some of the best and most conservative and truthful men of this city, and by not less than twenty students who declare that they have been victims of his vices. It but shows the degenerate state of the situation here that the executive committee of the college has three times' supposedly examined these charges without taking any action against Dr. Richardson. No wonder that the college is dirty and unkempt, the students are vain and undisciplined, that the institution has been steadily declining under his administration, that parents all about the city are, preferring to, keep their children in ignorance rather than send them to the college, and that requests and petitions are coming from America, as well as from people in this city to have Dr. Richardson removed from office! The whole solution of the problem here in Liberia lies in establishing proper schools under clean, competent heads. Since Liberia College is the COMMISSION Scott, R. P. Falkner and Dr. George Sale one school supported by the government, it should arrange its curriculum so as to produce students who can serve those people whose taxes support the institution. Its whole plan should be changed. It should first of all, secure an intelligent, practical president whose morals are above question; and who will take some personal interest in the students. Again I am bound to believe that some one from Hampton or Tuskegee, or at least some one thoroughly imbued with the Hampton-Tuskegee idea of service and morals, would be the most desirable person for the place. And then, the college, with its whole curriculum changed, should be removed inland upon good soil where scientific agriculture and the various other industries can be successfully carried on. In the place of all the highly theoretically or cultural studies now on the list, let the study of civil and steam engineering, of electricity, of agriculture, and the manufacturing of all useful things be substituted. This country is not yet ready, educationally at any rate, for higher institutions of learning. It cannot get the support for such institutions either in students or in finance from the people. Liberia may borrow money untold, and summon all the outside assistance available, but until its education does reach the practical needs of the people, teaching them to develop the resources of their great rich country, it can never hope to rise and stand as a free and independent republic. RELIGIOUS WORK AMONG NEIGHBORS. Discussed by Cardinal Gibbons and Bishops of Catholic Church. WASHINGTON, D. C. April 26. Cardinal Gibbons and the bishops who came to Washington to attend the meeting of the board of trustees of the Catholic University held a conference last Friday morning to discuss the progress of religious work among the Negro population of the country. At the meeting were representatives of the dioceses in the South, and the growth of Catholic missionary work in that section formed the major part of the discussion. Besides his Enliment, Cardinal Gibbons, there were present Archbishop Farley, of New York; Bishop Byrne, of Nashville; Bishop Allen, of Mobile; Bishop Keiley, of Savannah, and the Rev. John E. Burke, of New York, secretary of the board of trustees. Following the meeting the trustees left, for their homes. On Its Way to Africa to Study Conditions of Republic From New York With Three Commissioners on Board the Chester Outcome of Visit of Envoys From Republic to America Last June—Commission to be in Service Thirty Days Last Saturday afternoon between the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock, when ships' clocks tolled two bells, the two cruisers Chester and Birmingham of the scout cruiser division of the Atlantic fleet, weighed anchor and without much display slipped quietly out of the harbor, bound for a 4,000-mile trip to Liberia, with the Liberia Commission. The commission is composed of Roand. Post Falkner, of Philadelphia, ex-Commissioner of Education in Porto Rico, who is chairman; Emmett J. Scott, secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, and Dr. George Sale, superintendent of the Baptist Missionary Schools in Porto Rico and Cuba. It takes with it as a gift from the United States to Liberia a valuable present. Accompanying the commissioners were Frank S. Hower of Wisconsin, secretary of the International Deep Waterways Commission, civil attach; George A. Finch, secretary, and Mal P. M. Ashburn of the medical corps representative of the United States. Commissioners Palmer, Scott and Sale are quartered on the Chester, while the other members of the party are on board the Birmingham. Contrary to reports circulated by several yellow journals, there is absolute peace and good fellowship existing among the members of the commission, and each is on particularly friendly terms with the other. A few minutes before boarding the Chester the three commissioners had their pictures taken in a group, and boarded the cruiser together. On board the ship there will be no discrimination shown, and the three will occupy the same table at meals, and at the same time. Among those to see Commissioner Scott off were Booker T. Washington, Collector Charles W. Anderson, Philip A. Payton, A. C. Howard, Wilford H. Smith, Robert W. Taylor, Nathan Hunt, Fred R. Moore, Lester A. Walton and George W. Harris of THE NEW YORK ACE. The commission will be in service about sixty days, and will remain in Liberia and study the conditions there for thirty days. As the party will be in the little Negro Republic during the rainy season, each member was well supplied with rubber boots, coats and hats. The State Department has provided the commission with elaborately engraved stationery, and the vessels will be in command of the three members. The sending of a commission to Liberia is the outcome of a visit to this country last June of Libarian envoys, consisting of Vice-President J. Dosson, former President G. W. Gibson and Charles B. Dunbar, of the Liberian bar. The primary object of the envoys' visit to America, was to invoke the good offices of this government to prevent certain threatened encroachments of England, France and Germany upon their territory. The envoys were presented to President Roosevelt, Secretaries Taft, Root and Wilson and other prominent government official by Dr. Booker T. Washington, and Liberia's condition was discussed for an hour. Before leaving the envoys were notified that the Negro Republic would receive the moral support of the United States government. The sending of the commission to Liberia means much to the future of that government. Eighty-nine years ago the republic was formed by the American Colonization Society as the home for freed slaves. Since that time it has had a stormy existence, and at this time is none too stable, due to financial matters. RIPLEY, TENNY, April 20—The trial of W. M.

WORLD-WIDE HONOR FOR THE NEGRO. Never in the history of the United States has such honor been paid to the Negro as is involved in the sending of a commission from the United States to the Liberian Republic. The sending of the commission within itself in answer to the overtures of the Liberian government is a signal recognition, but this is not all. Jew of our people, perhaps, do not know to what an extent President Laft and Secretary Knox have seen to it that this commission was constituted, and equipped just as carefully as it were being sent to the Court of St James. No detail was omitted. The Negro race is not only complimented by a black man being a member of the commission, but in the sending of this commission in the manner that it goes the race in Liberia and in America is still further honored and complimented. Three naval vessels convey the commission to Liberia. The commission takes with it as a gift from the American government to the Republic of Liberia a most valuable present Aside from the three members of the commission, Dr George Sale, Mr Emmett J. Scott and Mr Roland P Falkner, is accompanied by a secretary, a medical attache who is a graduate of West Point, a naval attache who is a graduate of Annapolis, and a civil attache as a special advisor on African matters. The State Department provided the commission with the most costly and elaborately engraved stationery of every character to be used for official and social purposes during its absence. The fleet of three vessels is entirely at the command of the commission during its absence, with instructions to convey the commission to any part of Africa that the commission deems it wise to visit THE COMMITTEE OF TWELVE. The Committee of Twelve has gotten out another strong and commendable publication. It is called 'Self-Help in Negro Education.' prepared by Mr. R. R. Wright, Jr. During the past few months the Committee of Twelve has gotten out such publications as the following: "Why Disfranchisement is Bad," by Mr Archibald H Grimke. "Voting Instructions to Maryland Voters," "What a Colored Man Should do to Vote," "The Negro in America," by Mr. Andrew Carnegie, and "A Study of the Negro Progress at Jackson, Miss." It has other equally valuable and interesting publications in process of preparation. These pamphlets can be secured by writing to Prof. Hugh M Browne, Cheyney, Pa. Within the past few months over two hundred thousand of these publications have been circulated throughout the country BLISSFUL IGNORANCE OF SOUTH The characteristic line of white Southern opinion on the Negro is given in an article in the South Atlantic Quarterly on the "Young Southerner and the Negro," by Professor Carl Holliday, of the Southwestern Presbyterian University. From a class of forty-eight Southern students, he received essays on "What will become of the American Negro?" Their opinion is almost unanimous that the Negro has made little or no progress and a large number of such declared that the Negro was a better man under slavery than now. They say further "with the right to vote and higher education denied them, we shall have the humble, submissive and working Negro of 1850." On second thought, one must really take a very charitable view toward these presumably enlightened, but really ignorant, young men The New York Evening Post pertinently inquires: Whence comes their intimate and unwavering knowledge of what the Negro is like? The theory that the Negro is degenerating is in comprehensible in the mouth of the elder generation. They may be supposed to know of what they speak, suppose to know of the official language progress it seems inconceivable that young men should adopt it on more bearers. The truth of the matter is that these young men, born in prejudice and rocked in the cradle of race harred, have never really been educated. The Negro to them has never been included in the universal law of human progress. With the independent pro fessional, business and farm - owning classes of Negroes they have never come in contact, and they do not know The Negro of the kitchen and of the street they alone have learned From the latter they have formed their opinion and they have been taught there are no others They are living in a paradise where ignorance of the Negro's phenomenal progress is bliss and where it is folly to be wise The value of statistics in reaching conclusions, as in Northern institutions, is never taught in Southern institutions As a consequence it never occurs to the students or their teachers, apparently, to really find out the relative position of the Negro now and in 1860 Professor Hollday, unconsciously enough, has given Southern white education a very black eye. The really sad and discouraging feature of the entire article is the profound and blissful ignorance it reveals in the seats of learning in the white South THE EFFORT OF THE TIMES. Again we call the attention of our readers and the race to the mischievous methods of The New York Times in its treatment of race matters. This great and influential daily circulating among all races and in all sections actually seems to have set for itself the petty task of prejudicing opinion against the Negro In our last issue we felt called upon to answer its allegation of not malicious conclusion that the Negro race has not the capacity to self-elevate. Not content with this editorial apodictx. The Times has seized upon and distorted to the intended embarrassment of the Negro race ever, incident in connection with the Liberian Commission. When the Baltimore member of the Commission resigned The Times alone could convey the news that he objected to service with a Negro commissioner. When a discussion upon the Negro commissioner was overheard among the Southern seamen, whose duty it was to attend the commission, The Times again got busy. Publishing the names and positions of the Southern officers of the squadron, The Times thus challenged them to show their Southern colors. It invented the suggestive story that the commissioners would sail separately. When a giant Negro seaman asserting the equality of his race was beaten by several white fellow seaman The Times in its partial account again championed the superiority of the white race. Now Mr. Editor, we simply wish to inform you again, that these efforts do not pass unnoticed. Whether your stories are pure inventions or unwarranted deductions and strange inferences, the result is the same—increased race feeling. Whether your methods are copied or transported from the South or not they are the same methods employed for over a generation by the Southern press to harass and suppress the Negro race as it trods its way upward. The discouragement of the Negro race, the increase of race friction the perpetuating of division and injustice among Americans are all motives unworthy of the great Times. We hope and trust that you will not persist in so unjustious a policy THE WHITE ROSE HOME. The annual report of the White Rose Home for the Benefit of Colored Girls and Women on East 86th street states clearly the needs and position of the colored working girl in this city. Despite its name, this institution has a mixed board of trustees, and has done a noble work in behalf of white as well as black working girls It has not only furnished a model home for hundreds of colored girls in New York in search of work, but it has also instructed scores of such girls in the rudiments of domestic service. The Home has kept agents at the Old Dominion pier and together with the Association for the Protection of Colored Women, at the other piers, to keep girls arriving on the coast wise vessels out of the hands of procurers. The Home has also kept an agent and lodgings for the same purpose at Norfolk, Va, the port of passage, for the last three years. But the work of the White Rose Home has quite outgrown its quarters and its funds. With the increasing Southern immigration, the need of training for the untrained girls and those untrained to Northern service has increased. The colored girls, the report goes on to say, are in a worse position than foreign immigrants who have many more sources of private charity. Unable to secure suitable lodgings and in many cases lodgings of any sort, they are often induced to lives of vice where they might be preserved to lives of useful and honest endeavor. This indeed as the report concludes, is a "large field for social help that would yield large returns--better service, better servants and better women." The White Rose Home started by the late Victoria Earle Mathews is indeed a most worthy institution. Its urgent appeal for help should meet the immediate and hearty response of every large-hearted citizen, black as well as white, in this city THE CALL OF THE MINISTER. Two things concerning the Negro minister impress us more and more—his opportunity and his failure to grasp that opportunity. It has been truly said, that next to the Catholic priest, the minister of the Negro race has most influence over his people. No other people so attends church, no other so listens, no other so heeds the teachings of the preacher That the average Negro community is not making faster progress along the lines of theft and morality to-day than it is, is to be laid in large measure to the Negro preacher of that community. That many another community like Laston, Penn, is waking from its lethargy, is due in large measure to the Negro preacher of that community. It any community lacks business enterprise, if it has Negro enterprises and they are not patronized by Negroes or it that community has discreditable enterprises dragging the race and the younger generation down to sn and vice, that, too, is the fault of a backward or perhaps an immoral minister. That the average Negro church is surrounded by squall and shabby Negro homes, homes impainted, infenced, or if fenced with the gate off the fence, is due to the fact that the Negro preacher has been telling his people of glories of paradise and not the comforts of home. The average Negro preacher holds it to be his sole duty as aide from letting the Sunday collections to lead his people to glory." The average Catholic priest has led his people into the aldermanic chamber, into good jobs and a more respected place in the community. We are happily aware of the fact that this is not true or all Negro preachers. We believe in a class even that they are making progress in this respect. We simply wish to complain against the failure of duty of Negro preachers who receive splendid living from their people and who do not give full and proper return. That the Negro must be taught to live and make progress in this world is the call on the minister. RELIEF FOR THE CONGOESE In accordance with the declaration of the Belgian parliament when it took the Congo Free State, Africa, out of the hands of King Leopold, the betterment of the then horrible conditions has actually begun. At that time, the 10,000,000 natives were tortured in forced labor at miserably low wages. At that time the rubber hunting agents of the aged monarch exacted on the penalty of life and limb so much rubber per day from the natives employed, and all available natives were forced into the service. Since the annexation to Belgium, dispatches from Brussels say forced labor has greatly decreased and that a strong public sentiment has been created against it. Last week the Belgian parliament passed a resolution declaring that "free recruitment should be substituted as soon as possible for the forced recruitment in the construction of the Great Lakes." Railway that the length of the service should be reduced and that better wages should be paid." Thanks are due primarily, we be heve, to the International Congo Relief Association, with a strong branch in this country for the relief which now seems to be coming to the Congoese. Without the limelight which it turned so strongly upon the horrible atrocities practiced, public sentiment would not have forced the Belgian government to take over the Congo King Leopold, the "royal Shy lock," would have continued his taking of the pound of flesh. Now the some measure of relief has been effected, we hope that the Congo Relief Association will continue its effort to a complete relief and uplift of the Congo Reports come to us from the West to the effect that the Register of the Treasury, Hon W T Vernon, has been doing some effective work in that section lately. Besides, the Kansas Legislature has made liberal appropriations for the support of Western University at Quindaro, Kansas, of which Mr Vernon is president. The Kansas people, as well as President Vernon are to be congratulated upon the support of the legislature. He seems to have the confidence of the people, the carrying out of his school work EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS Despite the edicts of the New York Times the Liberian commissioners, Messrs Falkner, Scott and Sale, not only sailed on the same boat and ate at the same table, but inaugurated their fellowship by having their pictures taken together on the pier. The Times has probably read the signs right as it knows that the reading public is very rapidly turning toward trashy fiction There is considerable apprehension just now among the English of Africa over the large number of guns that are being smuggled into the native tribes, and especially the warlike Basutos. One can understand why there is no nervousness over other individuals car- rying in so many ammunition, for the strained navies with their bad aims might accidentally shoot more than animals. Hon. Hi. Papius Sannon, the new Haytian minister to this country, like his predecession, Minister Leger, will receive $18,000 a year. Considering the fact that Minister Leger held his job for nearly fifteen years, the unluckiness of thirteen appears doubtful, yet bad luck never did run up in the thousands. The suicide of the Georgia keeper of convicts, who killed himself because the abolition on April 1 of the convict case system deprived him of a job, prompted the local officialry paper artist to say that the "earth's loss will be heaven's gain." That rule also works the other way the earth's gain will be heaven's loss. Professor Holliday, writing in the South Atlantic Quarterly, shows the long known fact that the Southern whites believe the Negro has made no progress, but has gone backward since slavery days. There was once a silly old bachelor professor who thought he could prevent the dawn of day by stopping roosters' crowing. The Negro Masons of Richmond, Indiana, have completed their new and modern building, ready for dedication on May 16. The Negro fraternities of the country are rapidly waking to the fact that the only distress sign recognized by everybody in this country at true value is the sign of the X dollar bill. At the recent meeting of the Alabama State Teachers' Association, Gov B B Comer and State Superintendent H C Gunnels both making strong speeches in behalf of sufficient Negro school education preceded Booker I Washington. But in giving that doctrine practical application the Luskegee orator led them both. C I Johnson, the Negro whom President Roosevelt referred to for his gift of a site to the Y M C A whose wealth has been estimated at a quarter of a million who owns the only race track in Knoxville, Penn. loaned several years ago a white fellow citizen $65,000 on the latter's word. But Mr Johnson wouldn't do that now, for the Negro has quit taking the white man at his word and taking that word for law. Superintendent C L Coon, of Wil- son, N C, at the Atlantic conference, seems to have thrown the South's pet cat overboard, when he proved by stat- istics that the Negro in Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia more than supports his own schools by his taxes. We have often wondered at the sud- den and ominous silence of the South over its recent movements of "Negro taxes for Negro schools" The white man, Care now in jail in Dixton charged by his paramount, among numerous other crimes with unkindling while blacked up, two little white girls about the first of the year, and which nearly precipitated a race not only helps to prove that culture and respectability among many white men are a veneer, as thin as a munstrel's cork, which only needs to be scratched to reveal the brute. A slumbering public will yet wake up to find the Negro more sinned against than punning. Advertiser On Negro Education. The colored children should have the educational facilities that the whites have, but they should have them in schools of their own for only in that way can they obtain such training and education as they are entitled to. The Michigan case example of a wide spread treason in the North is not worththing by the Negroes when it insists on moral whols. Montgomery Advertiser. Quration Arisa from Tradition Question Arises from Tradition The question is not setational in any way, but is rather out of the traditional status of the Negro in this country. In other words the Negro problem is nothing but the old problem of Jew and Saxon and peasant — the same old problem, but with an ebony twist. The problem is not to say whether the police of the whites at the South is "expedient or inexperienced wise or unwise, righteous or unrighteous." That is for each reader to determine for himself Mr. Pwing merely explains that the Negro problem of the South does not, in fact, hinge upon the alleged laziness, criminality, ignorance or repulvence of the Negro, but upon the conviction of white men that the Negro is inferior and their determine Will the North Learn? Two southern Senators charged to speak on the issues that have long great are the difficulties before President Taft and his plans to break up the Solid South. Mr. Bailey of Texas urged in the Senate the political and economic reasons which outline the South to remain unbroken Democratic. But it was reserved for Senator Tillman, with his terrible but commandable frankness to set forth his reasons for the breakup, trailing issue of race hatred. Without muncing his words, he declared bluntly what the South had done and what it intended to do. People in the North ascerted Mr. Tillman, say that the South must "enforce the laws impartially but we say we will not." The South Carolina Senator went on to say that the Negro Fourteenth Amendment nullified and that new the South proposed to "educate the North" to abandon all its worn out notions about the abolition of slavery and human equality. It was in the same spirit that Tampa boasted he would crack a slave driver whip from Bonker Hill Monument. Nicht utterances as those of John C. Calhoun, inaped adults if anything if it amused him. It will profit the Republican party to gain a few votes in the South and as its own soul—The New York Evening Post The Vanguard. Tis oure to hase thru the desert waste, where the hearts of the strong men fathar. Tis oure to blaze thru the hidden ways, when night has swallowed the trail. To change the height in the dark wight, lance nails in the fray And count the cost by the leaders lost at the end of a losing day We hark the cry of the souls that die, and we cleverly spur to aid. We meet the scorn of the tyrant a horn with a challenge light in Gods own light, with a white cause new from birth. I will we pass it on with its luster gone, and bear it the seal of earth Sometimes we hear from the distant rear where the ship sighs and the wastess flows and the golden body shines. And they jeet in soorn of the vanguard with its scattered ranks and show. As they march abreast with a shining crest in the way that we bid them go. And the test is sweet to our lonely feet in the world of the long track. And the frostish sounds friendly clear when comrade with the trumpet's blast and the sound of the signal drum. The cold pulse strikes on the mountain peaks in the land of the kingdom corn. Josse Wille Hughan, In WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Race unity, cooperation and mutual blending will prove great factors in the race progress in the future. A few real great leaders that are not self-seeking, that can rise above real littleness, will go a long way in unifying the masses —The Savannah Independent The Negroes in Lexington must understand that unless they realize the importance of helping each other in business, it cannot be expected for us to advance in our business enterprises.

The Quinah enterprise. Congressman Hobson has announced his purpose to come before his constituents and ask their suffrage in his favor for the United States Senate, and already it is opponents for want of better means to live, will be usual when all the false use the Negro to prejudice the voters against Mr Hobson. In the closing scenes of the last congress Mr Hobson spoke in favor of the Negro soldiers being restored and voted for them as an honest congressman, true to his conventions, and now the opponents would use this against him so it is hinted. The Birmingham Reporter The worst enemy of the race is found within the race. The one that is most harmful is the leading Negro who is trying to lead the race yet has no faith in the capacity of the race to perform any landable enterprise under the sun. Another class do not believe that there is any virtue in the race. They look upon the race as open to insult. This class must keep up and the race must relegate them to their destiny. Let us learn to measure men by their true values and worth by their faith in us expressed in an actual co-operation in all landable enterprises which tend to develop the race – The Fort Worth Outlook This government never had a cleaner, a more able, and a more conscientious set of Negro officials who were presidential appointments at Washington than the men who are now representing the race here at Washington in official capacity. We are to attempt to meanly criticize them, or to attempt to discredit in the eyes of the administration is as much time wasted. And the men who are attempting it are the very men who were trying to induce the colored vote to revolt against President Taft when he was a candidate for the presidency. The Washington Bee the Negro business and professional men of Norfolk. We are to be commended for the formation of an organization which they designate as "The New Board of Trade," which they state has for its object the facilitating of trade and the stimulation of a greater growth and activity in the various enterprises and professions carried on by Negroes. We don't believe an organization of any kind has a importance, which such an organization as people who mean to do something either in the professional or business way. The Newport News Star Louisville has a Negro florist, Indianapolis, has none. Chicago has a Negro bank, Indianapolis has none. Philadelphia has a Negro photographer Indianapolis has none. Plenty of opportunity to get busy. We have above thirty thousand people to hire. We have no musical studio, no singing society, that thing. On Indiana avenue where there are as many colored people to the square yard as any other place in the world, there is not a single grocery meat shop or locker. We have several flourishing tinted shops, nice affairs, but which say plainly that clothes play a very prominent part. The Indianapolis Freeman. One of the most senseless of all laws placed on the statue books by the last legislature is that one which makes it a must-denounce to give a receive "tips" to a must-denounce to give a receive "tips" who are a rule underpendent and who spend upon tips to make a decent living, and at the pattern who realizes the condition of the employee and is liberal enough to give from his plenty to assist the power brother. It is a law that will confer an inferiority from the power brother the spirit it occupies on the books. The Spokane Citizen. The young women and even lassies who had become a menace by attending the other boys' drills at the army have been prohibited and asked not to attend and lurk around the army until the other places where they can be other places where they can be their ages. This is a good step taken at the psychological moment. It does see that many colored girls everything possible to degrade themselves their race in general and their sex in place and some are so brutish and condescend in help to helpless and eternal incitement instead of to a light unto their pathway. The Sir unfield (ILL) Forum. The Negro appeal for justice must in the future be made to political parties to take the good hearts in this nation and he must make a determined effort to resistate public sentiment in the direction of his political and civil discontent, and seek to show thinking white men and women who still have faith in him that despite the cosate hue which he must surround his progress he is not getting to the point where he never will have one unless there is an eclipse of faith and a change of heart. among the solid white men of the United States who make and control the sentiment which governs and directs in this nation.—The Providence Advance Statistics show that the Negro pulpit of to-day is not discharging its full duty toward the Race along moral, hygienic and social lines. Hindu people vigilant and the descrivers of the Holy Sabbath should receive telling blows each Sabbath from the strong arm of the sacred altar — The Western Christian Recorder While there are many capable and worthy colored men who could be elected sergeant-at-arms of the Council, yet the Republican City Committee made no mistake when it selected W. Dwunvant for head of the House, among the most active Republicans in St Louis. He intelligent has a splendid character, a man of good habits, and quite popular among his people. The St Louis An officer of one of our reform schools who visited Los Angeles in speaking of the lack of inminals in places where there were Juvenile Courts, said that it had come to his special observation in a certain district where there was a large Negro population. Juvenile courts had been discharged for lack of something to do, all of which speaks well for the young Negro boys and girls in that part of Los Angeles. The Oakland (Cal) Sunshine Jacksonville has 14 colored physicians, 10 graduated pharmacists, 8 drug stores, 16 trained nurses, 2 dentists, 2 banks, 2 newspapers and six lawyers, all of which are getting on splendidly and successfully. We also have 185 churches, ten public schools, and 3 denominational schools, all in a flourishing condition. In spite of our many schools there are hundreds of mean, impudent worthless youths roaming the streets at will who never lend any kind of money to the poor that which leads to degradation and destruction. The time is now at hand for reckoning - The Florida Standard In his many benefactions for the American people Andrew Carnegie has not forgotten the Negro Tuskegee Normal Wutherforce University Fisk and many of our best Negro Institutions have been benefited by his thoughtful consideration. He has not forgotten Kentucky and is to-day the largest contributor to the proposed Lincoln Institute in this State. James the glad news of his gift of $240,000 to the Industrial and Industrial Institute in which many of our citizens of Hopkinsville are directly interested. The Hopkinsville (Ky.) Times. Negroes should not be discouraged every race is well as every man has at least one opportunity to succeed. What can be a situation in life there comes a time when fortune smiles and every city is full of people. The tale of great endeavor a man may be high up among those who toil upon mountain tops or in an humble station he may be low down among the many that throng the valleys below. It matters not whether he is a slave or a slave to some time a golden chance to rise above what he is and has been. Somewhere in the battle of life God gives every man a chance to wear the vulture's crown and stand among heroes, and the successful man sees this opportunity, turns it to his hands and adopts to the recognition of his hopes and arm. The Nashville Clarion. We have no doubt but that the last Congress would have given a more liberal appropriation to the colored buildings and grounds if our people had worked a little harder. We have no doubt that all in part, guilty of neglect in the matter. The duty falls equally upon the shoulders of all good citizens. The time and the occasion demand that we keep our eyes open hereafter to all such needs, and that we take the most important phase of our responsibilities. We need improved school buildings and grounds and the need is much more imperative than any other of the needs of our school system. The Washington nation. This country is threatened with foreign emigration and with the coming of the emigrants the prosperity of the Negro is threatened. White people are becoming disgusted with Negro laborers and when the foreigner proves himself to be a better workman, at once the Negro is welcomed. When the Negro walks the streets, he steal and be sent to the nut and penetentary. This is the time for the Negro to strike now while the iron is hot. Prove yourself equal to any emergency. Do whatever you undertake to do with all your power and might. When you are employed make yourself by your employer. Work on the work that is necessary without you. The Negro Articulturist. The Negro Agriculturist So much is being said through the Negro Press of the country about President Taft's Southern policy toward the Negro and especially a part of the Northern press that we are but permafied that the President has some where at some time unknown to the general public imparsed some where in them that are in the Negro that he has not expressed to the world. The attitude of these papers does not help the cause but rather aggravates it. Agitation in a sound and same way is necessary to accomplish reasonable and not ends but some of the colored press have abandoned sanity and gone to the Columbia accepted Mr. Taft's inaugural address pertaining to the Negro as embodying his whole Southern policy and it was the most comprehensive and liberal that has ever been uttered by any President and we have no right to doubt what he said until it shall have been falsified by his own acts and up until this date he failed to it. The Louisville Columbia --- The continual cry is that the majority of the young people are worthless and we often wonder why this is so? Why are the young girls and boys of this generation who have greater educational advantages, who are more likely to be years old? We do not like to own it, failhood theft and insufficiency to proper authorities are largely on the increase. The cause is not far to seek. Let us notice how often we are made abused of the behavior of young men and women in the church. If we could find that these same young people when in childhood were unruly rude and impudent to their teachers and back of that we find that the children were rude at home and were but restrained by their parents. The Southern Reporter This is cleaning up time. Have you begun? You will be happier healthier and but for ever was of you will take time to keep your home and vanil clean. Put every spook of rubbish and refuse into a receptacle for the garbage wagon. Rake every inch of your yard and wait for your neighbor to take his first Never throw anything into the alley or stait a bonfire After everything is cleaned up keep it clean Try to obey them -The Cleveland Journal NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS MEMPHIS, Tennessee, April 20.—There is no surer sign of growth in civilization and prosperity among any people that the amount of property owned by them and the taxes paid thereon. Such belts surance agents, saloonists, carpenters Teen, easily takes rank among the first in the country. Furthermore, so far as business commerce and the professions are concerned he is also very much "in evidence." For there are your druggists, grocers under takers, physicians, musicians lawyers expressmen, hucksters, backmen, livery men, enterers, milliners, dressmakers in surance agents, saloonists, carpenters, prostitutes, teachers, bankers, and what not? To begin with, R R Church is the wealthiest citizen by all ranks. His wealth, mostly real estate, here and is Washington City, alone amounts to a half million dollars. All told, he is conservatively estimated to be worth, while some say he is a millionaire. Thos H Hayes, the wide awake and popular president of the local Negro Business League, is worth $10,000 or more. He is probably the leading underwriter in the business about six years ago, by close business to his calling, coupled with his generous nature and untiring energy, has established himself and his business upon a basis that has commanded recognition, not only for himself but for his race as well. Messrs Scott and Wilkerson are a good prosperous undertakers, enjoying a good share of patronage in their line of business. They live in nice, beautiful homes. Mr J J Scott, the senior member of the firm, is probably worth $10,000. He is a contractor and builder on an extensive scale lives in a splendid residence and owns about $50,000 worth of realty. M L. Clay, a wholesale as well as retail liquor dealer, is rated at $40,000. After the first of July next, he intends to open a large store carrying the very best quality of that kind of goods. Robert R. Church, Jr., is worth at least $25,000. There are quite a number of persons engaged in the wood and coal business and retail grocers, worth anywhere from two to five thousand dollars, and the number of clerks who own their own homes and besides have a little bank account. There are a few doctors here who may be considered prosperous and are not accumulating property. Such are Doctors E. W. Irving, Edward Craigan and A. S. Terrell. It is said that there are about fifty doctors practicing in the city and notwithstanding the unusually large number, each of them has one such end meet at least, making one "meat and the other end bread." There are some lawyers here also who have built up such a large practice that they are now living on "easy street." Among the more prominent are the City Solicitor of Memphis and the City Solicitor of Memphis and also ex member of the Legislature of Mississippi whose holdings would amount to probably $40,000; and B. F. Booth, Eaq, who owns a good practice and lives in one of the cities where he works, the city so we were informed, are not doing as well as the doctors. At this, however we are not at all surprised, for the conditions with which the former have to contend with his white competitors are not as bad as they are and trying than the latter have to face. Some of the ministers, too, have beautiful homes, such as the Rev T. J. Seadley, Rev Heard and T. O. Fullen, D. D., the latter president of Home Insurance, the owner of considerable real estate. There is quite a number of mail carriers (about seventy), some of whom have a large amount of property. For instance, Horton has stationed, for mail service and real estate business. He stands next to Mr. Church in wealth and is propably worth $100,000. Mr Washington is the only Negro who owns any property in Main Street. He has been carrying mail about him since he E. Love also mail carrier, who is worth $12,000 or $15,000 in real estate. Nearly all the mail carriers own their homes. There are many wealthy farmers in the county Marshall Horton (recently deceased) and a farmer and a group of well land. E. A Clanton, a planner, with $75,000 or $100,000. There are, perhaps, ten thousand wage-workers living here, who draw weekly salaries all the way from $17 to $20 per hour. They are the plowers of the milroads, and some of the firemen get over $120 a month. In fact, there are men and women in Memphis doing everything that other races are doing, and as a woman is engaged in prosperous businesses in their particular line, such as the Grant Shoe Store and the Jackson Drug Company, commanding and getting a fair share of the patronage of the city. There are also space preclude the mentioning of them just now. C H M More About "Color Line" In Boston To the Editor of The New York Adj Without entering into a discussion with the author, I would like to Lane in Boston Churches" the writer of this statement desires to give some facts in connection with the paragraph in your article which reads thus "St Peter's Church of St. Peter's, New York, attends until it secured a Negro worker in an effort to establish Negro mission St. Bartholomew is the result. This paragraph is misleading St. Bartholomew is a church which has attended in many years there. It was placed in charge of the Rev. Alex McGurteen last July, Mr McGurteen is the first colored priest who has received a charge in the Diocese of Massachusetts. There have been many colored communities in the various Episcopal churches in Boston. Some those in St Peter Cathedral judge that the had increased grease due to the use of their children. They therefore attended services in St Bartholomew's Cambridge, and because so influential in that small church that they asked the authorities of the church to appoint a colored priest to succeed the white clergy whose work in Melbourne was appointed. The white members promptly went to other churches and nine colored members and their friends were all that Mr McGurteen had in the way of communal members. In nine months the nine have grown to 215 communicals counting the class of 50 that were formed on April. There are also two West Indians. Theoretically therefore, no color line is drawn by the church and the disease. St Bartholomew's is open to all races and its priest and people are given all the rights and courtesies as treated others. It is destined under the new regime to become one of the strongest Episcopal churches in Boston, for its membership and its priest are confined in nine months, and the people have raised about $2,500 within this period, and enlarged the forerer chapel. Practically the membership is now colored. But there was one white person in the present confirmation class, and there were several colored in St. Peter's, and other confirmation classes.

WALTON THEATRICAL COMMENT VOELCKEL & NOLAN, the well-known theatrical managers, have agreed to disagree. After successfully doing business together as partners for nearly fourteen years the firm that has done such creditable organizing and promoting of colored theatrical organizations has been split in twain. The "Black Patty Troubadours with Mine Sissieretta Jones, will continue to make their annual tour throughout the South, West, and Northwest in former years, but instead of the program reading "Under the direction of Voelckel and Nolan," as has been the case for thirteen seasons, only the name of R Voelckel will be seen. For the last two or three seasons rumors have reached New York that the members of the firm were not getting along amicably, but as so many unintended reports are daily circulated about managers and members of the profession not much credence was put in them. The "Black Patty Troubadours had not been on the road over two months last fall when word reached New York City that Voelckel and Nolan had had a parting of the ways. That there had been some disagreement was evidenced by Mr. Nolan leaving the show and joining the Dandy Dixie Minstrels also the property of the firm. This week the Dandy Minstrels with Billy Kerr sands, closed for the season and it is understood that the company will be no more. Last week Mr. Voelckel made announcement in Tithe Aot that the "Black Patty Troubadours" were under his sole management, and that Mr. Nolan would retain interest in the minstrel company. No reason was assigned for the dissolution of partnership, which has become more pronounced, owing to the closing of the Dandy Dixie Minstrels this week and the report that the organization will not be presented to the public again. Cole and Johnson in New York City. At last Cole and Johnson are to play in New York City with their new musical show—"The Red Moon". The writer rightfully terms it a "new show" so far as the majority of the theatre-goers of Manhattan are concerned, for although the company has been on the road since early fall and has traveled many many miles throughout the United States and Canada, it is just reaching the greatest theatrical center in America. It is generally known that a show can gain name and fame on the road, but the performers, from the stars to the members of the chorus are not satisfied until New York places its stamp of approval on the production. And Cole and Johnson are no exceptions to the rule. The "Red Moon" has enjoyed success everywhere, but the success in the other cities has only occasioned contentment, and it is up to the New York public to bring about genuine satisfaction. In a review of "The Red Moon" last fall the writer predicted that it would be an artistic success, and the theatrical managers evidently coincide in this opinion, judging from the theatre selected for the company in which to make its initial New York bow. The company will open at the Majestic Theatre Manhattan, Monday May 3, for a run, and will remain at least four weeks. If the show strikes the public as being unique and entertaining it is most likely that "The Red Moon" will do business at the Majestic Theatre until people begin taking of the Declaration of Independence fireworks, duck skirts and trousers. Cole and Johnson's invasion of the Majestic Theatre possesses no little significance. Heretofore but one colored company has been permitted to play in this theatre — the Williams and Walker Company. That there is to be another colored organization at the playhouse, and not for a week but for an indefinite stay, proves a source of encouragement in more ways than one. In the first place Williams and Walker demonstrated that a colored company could furnish an evening of first-class entertainment. Broadway house secondly, that the colored offence drawn by colored theatrical organizations is not so obnoxious as many prejudiced whites seek to make others believe. Had the first colored show made a dismal failure, and the colored patron conducted themselves in an offensive manner there would be no announcement that Cole and Johnson are to open next week at the Majestic Theatre for a run. Just what the white dramatic critics and the theatre-goers of New York will think of the production as a success the writer will not dare make a prediction. It would be shouldering too much of a responsibility and overestimating himself as a forecaster. But if some of the melodramatic situations are toned down to satisfy a Broadway audience, and the show, as a whole, works with the vim and enthusiasm displayed Monday evening in Brooklyn, do not be surprised to hear of another colored show "going big" on Broadway That New York Sunday Law That New York Sunday Law In New York City the theatrical managers and police are having trouble determining what constitutes a violation of the Sunday law. The vaudeville houses are permitted to open, but the managers are compelled to give a form of entertainment that conforms with the Police Department's idea of a safe instructional environment. ing presented on the Sabbath. At each performance, particularly on Sunday evening detectives are sent to every vaudeville house in the city. They are empowered with the authority to arrest any performer who in their opinion, is violating the Sunday law. As the result of such a state of affairs some very humorous incidents transpire behind the scenes about which the public seldom hears, unless the case is aired in the courts. Last Sunday evening more amusement was furnished behind the scenes than on the stage, and the impromptu comedy was not continued solely to the theatre. On the bill was a colored team, two young men who have been very successful in vaudeville during the season. It is almost impossible for one of them to do his work without costume, as he adopts a character part. While his partner appeared in evening clothes he found it necessary to wear some of his costume to emphasize the character he was playing. When they went on they at once became the subject of an animated conversation. The detectives behind the scenes quickly reached a verdict that the team was violating the Sunday law in that one of the members wore a costume that was not considered proper for street wear. It was further resolved to take the young men in custody after they came off the stage. The stage hands, learning of the intentions of the detectives, quietly tipped off the performers about what was scheduled to take place when they finished their act, and advised them to get out of the theatre by another entrance without getting their street clothes and hats. When they had finished their number the two young men in question hastily made their exit from another part of the theatre unnoticed while the detectives were guarding the main stage door entrance to see that they did not escape. After waiting several minutes and the performers did not put in their appearance, the minions of the law questioned the stage manager regarding the whereabouts of the team. They were told that the performers had gone. Then started a quarrel among the detectives for having permitted the objects of prey to escape each blaming the other for the blunder. In the meantime, hatless and one wearing a dress suit and the other a costume, the two performers were walking up dark streets homeward, doing their level best to keep out of the way of the police, who would have been inclined to be overly inquisitive regarding their unusual appearance. They managed to elude the police and reach home without detection. And they sent to the theatre (no, they did not go personally) for their music trunks and hats next day. WHERE THE BIG SHOWS ARE.

Although William Morris was supposed to have secured the well-known comedian, the United Booking people came in at the last moment and landed the prize. The Voss bill, limiting the percentage which may be expected by the theatrical agents, was passed in the Senate at Albany Tuesday. By the terms of the new measure hereafter agents will be allowed to charge but ten per cent for booking performers. Heretofore they have extracted as high as ten per cent. The photographed by ball was passed at the instance of the White Rats, and while there were no colored theatrical organizations interested, the colored members of the profession will be equally benefited.

MUSICAL NOTES IN THE SPORTING WORLD Colored Boy Wins First Marathon in Kansas. LAST week the first Marathon race ever pulled off in Kansas was run in Topeka under the auspices of the Topeka Daily Capital, and James Gurden, a 16-year-old colored boy, won. Forty four boys started in the race, and young Gurden won the race in the fast time of fifty-two minutes and eightteen seconds for the distance of seven and three tenths mile, finishing away ahead of the next runner and in good condition. In commenting on the race the Topeka Daily Capital said. "The blare of trumpets announcing the approach of a victorious army could hardly have created a more intense interest than that which came with the shouts that accompanied the pattering feet of the boy ravers as they sped down the finish of the Marathon course yesterday. "Each footfall that came to the trained cars which bordered every block along the course was a note which touched a responsive chord. "It was a great race. It was one of the greatest ever run in the United States. It brought into prominence that perseverance and sturdiness that always wins. Of course, there could be only one winner of first place, but every lad who entered the contest displayed the trait of true American manliness." "Forty-four youths started in this race at the crack of the pistol, and but three dropped out before the finish. The boys were eager to go along each one exerting his utmost resource to make a good showing in the end. Every muscle and every fiber was brought into play and each contestant used his judgment over every step of the way. The race was a test of mind, as well as of muscle." Sailors Clash Over Colored Runner. Ocer in Brooklyn the other day the old "Rip Van Winkle" joke the "color line" came up during an interesting athletic event. The occasion was the second annual spring games of the Second Naval Battalion which were held in the armory, at the foot of Fifty-second street. Mike Parker, a colored sailor whose first name deceived the members of the other teams as to his racial identity until he put in his appearance brought about the controversy. He was entered as a member of Nebraska's relay team. There was a mile relay race scheduled to take place between teams from the battleships Nebraska, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Ohio. Parker is considered one of the runners on the Nebraska, and was looked upon to win the race for the Nebraska sailor. When he told the mark the sailors on the other teams wanted to know where was Mike Parker, and upon being informed that the individual in question was a colored man, an emphatic protest was raised against a colored runner participating in the race, even if he had an Irish name. A long discussion ensued during which the men from the Connecticut withdrew and refused to run. Parker was asked to get out of the race but said nay, now as did his teammates. He was called by the officials calling the race off, as the Nebraska runners refused to run without their team mate Baseball Noten There is some talk of a colored league being established in the South in the near future. A number of colored businesses men are becoming interested in the national game, and in Nashville and Memphis. Tennessee of these two prosperous cities are said to be planning to build baseball parks.

Progress in Pugilism: The old breed of pugnails were more forthright, they went out of doors and battered each other's features with a larger gladness and with their bare hands. No gloves for them what was the sense in padding the weapon? They would fight for sheer love of smiting, or if a number of admirers should combine to put up a prune purse of $200, or maybe $500, they would battle with the gist of simple greed added to their primary joy in the fight itself. But those were the days of raw youth in the P R., the age of stund brown. Now the professor of pugilism sits in his office and dictates to his secretary his words not of defiance but of business. If it shall be made sufficiently an object to him to break up the schedule of his dramatic engagements already made, he will consider the terms of professional encounter which may be arranged in some comfortable indoor arena. If from $50,000 to $100,000 can be raised as honorarium deserving his attention he will take up the question in detail. He also substantiate minimum the bigger professional mind the bigger and suffer the gloves the better for his professional head and personal appearance. If the pugilist is sufficiently adept in the higher mysteries of his art all these matters are only preliminaries to the secret diplomatic negotiations by which a 'reasonable profit' such as all profit industries need can be guaranteed to the party of the second art without whose energetic operation the fight might go astray and the brawn in the course of somebody might receive actual meddle harm and nobody could have any definite assurance as to where he stood financially. And hackers nowadays are good men of business and expect to keep track of their money when invested in professional enterprises. If the public could believe in anybody any longer. If so much money were not involved as to taunt the presumption of good faith which the public still childishly inclines to host upon ring fighters, if the record of the rise of smooth tricklers and the corresponding fall of rude rulers were not so clearly written. But never theless notwithstanding and anwhom the public will shunt its eres again and cover its understanding. At least thesimularium and ghost of a price fight remains and the public will continue to ease upon it with hanging eres to be lieve in it by main strength to hit its money on one man or upon the other as it was in the beginning and be seen its human habit for in these many years—New York Sun "A RABBIT'S FOOT" COMEDY COMPANY traveling in their own two Pullman care, playing under canvas.
