VOL. XXII. No. 34. NEW MEMBER IS APPOINTED On the Washington, D. C., Board of Education PROF.W.V.TUNNELL Well-Known Citizen of Capital, Succeeds John F. Cook, Who Tenders Resignation WH Probably Be Re-organized For Next Scholastic Year—Changes Should Also Be Made at Armstrong Manual Served to The New York Agm. WASHINGTON, D C., May 25.—Some one has sent a note to THE AGE, which the editor has passed over to me, reading as follows: "The teacher who was shot in a fracas has left the hospital and will resume teaching." To the above I add no comment whatever. It is not necessary Since my last letter appeared, a new member of the Board of Education has been selected to succeed Mr John F. Cook. Prof Tunnell is the man, and the selection of him was a splendid one. I know Prof Iunnell by reputation, and several years ago I met him personally. He is a type of man that will not stand for immorality in the schools, he is a type of a man that will not stand for efficiency in teachers, he is of that type of man that Mrs. Terrell is a type of woman—a representative type. His selection gives Washington two strong Negro members on the board. Note I say two, for while there are three, the residents here are not disposed to quality all three with the adjective strong. The white members can be depended upon to give the Negro people all that they demand for the schools; that is a good, efficient corps of teachers. The white members would be willing at the end of this school term, to rid the schools of the inefficient colored teachers. I dare say, if the Negro superin- My Negro man and woman in Washington, that the white members would never stand for some of the Negro teachers now employed being assigned to the white schools, if they were white. How if they would not impose these inefficient teachers on the white schools if they were white, why impose them on the colored schools? That's a fair questions. I am also sure that they would investigate any scandalous rumors told on white teachers, and if found true, dismiss the guilty teachers. Board Has Now Two Able Representatives. Assistant Superintendent Bruce, in his generous card published in THE Am last week, asserts that the schools were never in a better condition than now I admit it, and every one with whom I talked admitted the same. This condition, this "better" condition, is a tribute to the Assistant Superintendent, and in admitting it he unconsciously hands himself a bouquet, though I am sure he did not mean so to do. The schools are in a better condition, but there is room for great improvement still. He has labored hard, they say, to bring about this better condition, and if given the right encouragement, or if let alone, he will yet give Washington an ideal Negro school. And that is what the parents demand, and the pupils are entuled to. The advent on the board of Prof Tunnel should assist to divide the responsibility With Mr Cook, the ex-ember, incapacitated by age and illness, it left but one Negro member with the required ability, experience and nonselfish interest in the schools and the race to represent the race on the board, and that was Mrs. Terrell. Mrs. Terrell will now have a splendid male representative of the race to second her efforts for a teaching staff composed of morally pure men and women, and men and women who are really proficient as teachers. Both of these members will be above petty things. Neither will ever attempt to work the superintendent or teachers to further their own selfish ambitions. Prof Tunnel would be the last man to ask a teacher to endorse him for office, and the idea would be abhorrent to Mrs. Terrell. At least one dozen teachers should be dropped after this term. Not simply because they are "obliterated," but because they are really back numbers. Because they would not be tolerated in the white collar if they were white. Street High School should not be permitted to run another year with the second Know that the best should not have where did the future is a consideration There is no use to hamper young boys and who are seeking an education, where lot of teachers who might have been equal to the demands of the school There is no use, and it is not right to permit children to be under the supervision of immoral teachers. But that they grow up in absolute ignorance Should Reorganise M Street High School. Before another year begins, I mean school year, Armstrong Manual training School should be touched up little There might be some improved made in the teaching force there, such as a whole, that school is far THE NEW The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

Let the Negro members of the board, and the superintendent of the Negro schools work in perfect harmony. Let the members of the board sustain him in his best endeavors. Washington should have the finest Negro schools in America. It's up to the assistant superintendent, Mrs Terrell and Prof Tunnell to give Washington what it should have. There is a great improvement, but there is great room for more improvement. There is another phase of this school question I propose to investigate just as soon as school adjourns. H R M EDUCATIONAL RALLY To Be Held at Carnegie Lyceum in Interest of Morris Brown College. Carnegie Lyceum will be the scene of an educational rally for Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga, Sunday afternoon, May 30. Rev Stuart MacArthur, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, will act as chairman. An interesting program has been arranged, to consist as follows: Invocation by Rev W. W. Beckett, secretary of Missions, A M F. Church, remarks by the chairman; address by Rev C. H. Parkhurst, pastor of Madison Square Presbyterian Church, on "Education As It Relates to Morals", address by Hon Lewis Nixon, address by John Temple Graves, editor of New York, on "Negro Education and Its Relation to Both Races and the Problems in the South"; address by Rev Richard D Stinson, vice-president of Morris Brown College, on "Morris Brown College and Practical Education" LIBERIAN COMMISSIONERS Being Royally Entertained—Have Taken Up Residence in Monrovia. Special to The New York Age WASHINGTON, D. C. May 24—The members of the American Liberian Commission, R P Faulkner, L. J Scott and Dr George Sale, have been busy since their arrival with the preliminaries to their investigation into conditions in the Louisiana Keys. They are all in the field. Clined to complain of the attention and courtesies shown them on every hand, as the many invitations interfere with the work before them. The Government has promised its hearty co-operation in the investigation. The commissioners, who had been living on board the Chester, have taken up their residence in Monrovia. This was done to avoid the necessity of going back and forth through the dangerous surf. The scout cruiser Birmingham came into port May 13. She accompanied the Chester across the Atlantic, but was delayed several days at Cape Verde Islands making repairs to her boilers. She is now in good condition. MAIN BUILDING OF MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE, ATLANTA, GA CONGRATULATE JUDGE SIMPSON For Refusing Bail To Six Alleged Lynchers of Negro DALLAS MORNING NEWS Supports Judge In His Crusade Against Lynching, And Says Magistrates of the Law Can Show Herobm on Bench. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE TYLER, Tex., May 23—Judge R W Simpson's actions in remanding six alleged participant in the lynching of a Negro to jail without bail, and binding MAIN BUILDING OF MORRIS BAY three others over on bond of $5,000 each, has provoked a general discussion in this part of the country. Advocates of law and order are applauding the judge for his brave stand, one of his strongest supporters being the Dallas Morning News. When Capt Rogers and his State Rangers appeared outside the courtroom with their prisoners, following the decision of District Judge Simpson, there was a crowd on the outside that jeered and hissed the captain and his party. The officials drew revolvers and the men were taken in safety to the Smith County Jail Later a large crowd congregated, and it was necessary that several shots be fired to disperse the unlawful gathering. In his remarks previous to making the decision, Judge Simpson roundly scored violations of the law of the specific character of lynching, and declared that so long as he was on the bench he would do all in his power to bring to justice the perpetrators of such deeds. The men remanded to jail without bail, and those who were released on bond of $5,000 each are charged with lynching Jim Hodge, a Negro, accused of criminally assaulting a white woman. In congratulating Judge Simpson on his stand, the Dallas Morning News comments as follows: "The News does not know whether the men who have been bound over on a charge of being implicated in the lynching at Tayler are guilty or not. It has not even an opinion, and further sure that had in pungent wound "But it is not inconsistent with the policy to commend the admirable courage, the splendid sense of duty which Judge Simpson has shown throughout this afair. It is an inspiring spectacle, a refreshing precedent which, we are persuaded to hope, will gather such force of example as will in future years entitle it to be called epochal. Lynchings have come to be treated as mere episodes. We have become purblinded to the fact that mob law is a defiance of statute law, and a contemptuous disregard of established social institutions. The reason of this is the complaisant habit of judges and other authorities. YORK AGE. "Judge Simpson has shown that he is not of the complassant kind. He may be that whoever the guilty are, they will not be punished; but the admissible felicity which Judge Simpson has shown for his oath should give hope and courage to all who believe in the truth of law. All heroism is not enacted on the battlefields; the bench offers no opportunities no less than the field of sanguinary strife." Of 8t. Francis Church, One of the Largest Colored Catholic Parishes in the Country. Special to TU New York Appar- BALTIMORE, M.D., May 38—An innovation in religious circles is the recent appointment by the Superintendent of the Josephite Order of the Roman Catholic Church, of a colored priest, mostistant pastor at the historic Roman Francis Church, one of the largest and oldest of colored Roman Catholic churches in the country Father Carse, the late pastor of the congregation having removed to the ROWN COLLEGE, ATLANTA, GA West, his assistant, Father Dunn, was promoted to full charge, and Rev. J. J. Plantvigne, a Negro priest was appointed assistant to Father Dunn. Father Plantvigne is a native of Louisiana, and was educated at Epiphany Apostolic College and St. Joseph Seminary, this city. He is a man of pleasing and attractive personality, and is extremely well liked by Catholics and non-Catholics. His success in his new work means a great deal with respect to the future progress and extension of the work of his Church among the colored race. This is the first attempt of its kind in the Roman Catholic Church, north of the Potomac River. Father Dorsey is successfully engaged in similar work in Alabama. ORGANIZER OF BUSINESS LEAGUE Addresses Three Hundred Business Men and Women of Louisville. LOUISVILLE, KY, May 24—Over three hundred Negro men and women engaged in business in this city, listened to a speech delivered here one evening last week by Charles Moore, national organizer of the Negro Business League. The address was made at the Thirteenth Street and Broadway A. M. E. Church D. L. Knight, president of the local league, presided. The coming of Prof Moore was directed by Booker T. Washington to arouse the Negroes here to greater activity along business and commercial lines. The speaker used quotations from the late Henry W. Grady on the new law that it was time for the men to catch the spirit of industrial uplift, and that industry, thrift and honesty should be the characteristics of the race today. The Negro has engaged in politics much to the neglect of his business interests" said the speaker. He said greater stress should be placed upon education, industry, property owning and Christianity. He told of the coming of the National League here this August and urged the Negroes to unify their forces and call upon their friends to aid them in making the meeting a success, so that the spirit of thrift among negroes will be put in practice, which is the aim of the national body. STRIKE ON GEORGIA ROAD Move to Eliminate Negro as Industrial Factor in South WHITE SYMPATHIZERS Committing Deeds of Violence in Behalf of Strikers—Railroad Stands by its Negro Firemen Special to THE NEW YORK ACR. ATLANTA, GA., May 25.—The strike of the white firemen on the Georgia Railroad threatens to assume serious proportions. It is likely that the United States Government will inter- The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale image with a blurred background. fere if the mail service is in any manner affected. Despite the fact that the white firemen are striking because of the presence of Negro firemen on the road, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will take no action as long as the road lives up to its contract with the engineers. According to F. E. Burgess, assistant grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the firemen who quit work on the Georgia road last Monday week will not have the support which would make the strike successful. During the past few days sympathizers with the white strikers have committed deeds of violence, assaulting Negro firemen and threatening white engineers Gov Hoke Smith has wired the sheriffs at the various counties through which the Georgia Railroad passes to prevent violence, but the sheriffs have answered that they cannot handle the situation. It is probable that the militia will be called out. The Georgia Railroad people have announced that they will discontinue train service unless protection is given. Manager Scott Stands by Negro. Thomas K. Scott, general manager of the Georgia Railroad, recently gave out the following interview, charging that the strike is the first step to eliminate the Negro as an industrial factor in the South: On May 8, a committee of the white firemen employed by the Georgia Rail- accompanied by E. A. Bull men, who lives in Toronto, Canada, called on me and demanded that the prevailing practice of the Georgia Railroad to allow the rule of seniority to work in favor of Negro firemen to the extent only that the Negro firemen who had proved by faithful and efficient service that they were worthy to be promoted to some of the best trains, simply as firemen, be abrogated in favor of white firemen. I replied that imasuch as Negroes could not, under our rules be made engineers, no matter how intelligent and faithful they are, it would be absolutely unfair and unjust to deprive them of the only opportunity offered them to win a small degree of promotion and, on that ground, declined to accede to the demands of the white firemen. The strike announced by the committee is the result. "The Georgia Railroad has no further interest in the strike of the white firemen, which went into effect Monday night. The place of every striker will be filled by a white man, and every engine will move on time. It was a small matter, the positions of only 70 men being involved. "Yet there is in this affair a menace of such gravity that the details of it should be understood by every Southerner. "This strike is the first step of a movement which is planned to eventuate in the abolition of the Negro as an industrial factor. It is the skirmish of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and the Enginemen in its plan to drive the Negro out of employment on railroads altogether. "The plan has been smoldering for five years. "This strike on the Georgia Railroad is just the first step. "I have reason to believe that the same demand will in time, be it soon or late, be made by officials of this firemen's union to every other railroad in the South. "The magnates of this brotherhood happened to choose our road as the first wherein to begin the fight against the Negro. And the Georgia, a Southern railroad, run by Southerners, in a Southern State, is thereby the first to refuse to lie down and yield humbly to the warfare on a race."

May 25—At the commencement exercises at the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute Sunday morning a letter was read from President Taft announcing his acceptance of a place on the Board of Trustees of that great school for the education of the Negro and the Indian. Mr Taft's letter to Dr H. B. Frissell, principal of the school, was as follows "White House, Washington, D.C. May 14, 1909 "My Dear Mr Frissell. I have your note announcing my election as a member of the Board of Hampton Trustees. I consider it an honor to be one of them, and shall be very glad to contribute what little I can to the continued success of the school. Very sincerely yours, "WILLIAM H TAFT" Dr Frissell announced that the selection of Mr Taft was made at a meeting of the board held in New York during the early part of May SINCOLN (ADIN REMOVED) Taken from Farm to Louisville to Save It from Souvenir Hunters. LOUISVILLE, KY., May 22 — The Lincoln cabin, birthplace of the War President, which was to have remained permanently on the Memorial Farm in Hodgenville has been brought to Louisville and locked up. It was the centre of attraction on Feb 12, the Lincoln centenary, when President Roosevelt made the chief oration. The plan was to keep it there, but while the building of the Memorial Temple, which President Taft is to dedicate in September, is in progress, it has been found that the cabin is exposed not only to the elements, but to souvenial huntera. Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS OPINION OF JUDGE DUGRO Regarding Status of Negro Likely to Affect the Coming Election NEGRO DEMOCRATS Indignant Over Views of Tam- many Judge who Injected Negro Question in Legal Case. Declares Both Races are Offended by the Declision - Case Will Be Taken to a Higher Court for Settlement Justice Dugro's recent opinion in which he holds that a Negro arrested unjustly does not suffer as much damages and humiliation as a white man, ordinarily, is likely to affect the approaching Mayoralty election. From present indications Tammany Hall will suffer, as there are hundreds of Negro Tammanyites who assert that Justice Dugro is a Tammany man and has rendered an opinion that is not only contrary to the tenets of Tammany Hall that a man is a man, etc, but that the Judge has injected the Negro question in a legal case when it is entirely unnecessary. At this time, when it is evident that a strong fight will be made in the coming Mayoralty election against the retention in power of Tammany Hall, and at a time when the ticket will need the hearty support of all of its adherents, it is being regretted by many high up in the councils of Tammany Hall that such an opinion was given to the public for consideration. There is not a Negro supporter of Tammany Hall who has not made known in some manner that the opinion of Justice Dugro tends to belittle the status of the Negro citizens of New York, and expressions can be heard on all sides that the ruling was not only unfair but ultimately. It is very probable that the case will be taken to a higher court for adjudication. A meeting of several prominent Negro lawyers will be held one evening this week to discuss with the attorney for George W. Griffin, the plaintiff in the case, ways and means to take the case to Albany. C Prominent lawyers are suprised at Justice Dugro bringling in the Negro question in a case which should have been decided according to law. It is contended by many that any personal expression relative to standing of a Negro coming from the court was not of vital importance or in order. Several attorneys have pointed out to THE AGE, which is in receipt of a number of letters from readers in the different parts of the country, who ask that they be more fully enlightened on the subject, that, while the opinion has no great legal significance, at the same time it creates an unhealthy moral impression for the time being, at least. History of the Case. The case at issue is one in which George W. Griffin, a Pullman car conductor, who brought suit for $10,000 damages against Daniel M. Brady, president of the Brady Brass Company, for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution. Griffin alleged that Brady had him arrested in Montreal in January, 1900, on a charge of stealing a card case, which contained about $20. Griffin was arrested, taken before Judge Choquet and dismissed on the grounds that he was innocent. He sued, demanding $10,000 damages. When the case was tried before Justice Dugro the jury awarded a verdict of $2,500. On motion of Brady's counsel Justice Dugro set the verdict as as excessive. It came out in the testimony that Griffin had refused $200 in settlement. Justice Dugro granted a motion for a new trial for Brady on the following grounds: "You cannot say that he is just the same as a white man, when you come to say how much his shame will suffer. He might suffer more. But, after all, what are the probabilities about it? Is it likely that when a colored man is arrested and imprisoned he feels just as much shame as a white man of any circumstances might? I think if you were to take the Mayor of the city and arrest him he would feel very much more humiliated than this porter, from the fact he was the Mayor and not a colored man, for if he were a colored man he might not feel quite as much humiliation and shame. "In one sense a colored man is just as good as a white man, for the law says he is, but he has not the same amount white man would have. Maybe in a colored community down South, where white men were held in great disfavor, he might be more injured, but after all that is not this sort of it community. In this sort of a community I dare say the amount of evil that would flow to the colored man from a charge like this would not be as great as it probably would be to a white man. "The jury are well aware of that fact. After all, the fact that he is a colored man was just as much a fact as anything else. The fact that he was a young man was a fact, just as well as anything else that the jury had a right to consider. Young men have not any more rights (Continued on Page 5) oe Ba SS a ae a oe ene es Br eer PaAURSDAYY cee wey i 3 us ~~" 9, IG rots US SE RE Rc dene oe PR r Mi = ae NTL i s ; Maras : . 5 rganist, and by Charice Horton, the boy | Frank » Mr. “Armstrong, a yor NURSES GRADUATE [one a cannes or bee rare | Agno Spangler, Ate, ©.

The program began with a chorus by the children from the asylum. She told in an interesting and earnest manner the needs of the home and the great work the pastors did without parents. The children left without parents. She told of several cases where if it had not been for the institution many a little one would have been lost. She said at present there were 317 children inmates of the home, who are being educated and trained for life of a child. She said about $9 per month per child. She said the institution had bought on Long Island 138 acres of land, on which a model industrial school will be built that will accommodate one thousand students.

TAFT AND THE SOUTH. There seems to be a growing impatience and anxiety among Negroes over President Taft's attitude toward the Negro and the South. Negroes feel that the Chief Executive is attempting the impossible task of serving both the god of justice and opportunity for the Negro and that Mammon of unrighteousness, Southern Negrophobia. Because the President has appointed as get no Negroes to office, many Negroes feel that he has turned hard and unsympathetic toward the political plight of the Black race. Because the President has struck a responsive chord in his effort to encourage a heartier cooperation and a better feeling between the sections, these Negroes naturally have feared that he has deserted their interests. A word upon the situation at this time, therefore, seems necessary So far as appointments are concerned, the Negro has lost nothing. Save for the appointment of Emmett J Scott to the Liberian Commission and the appointment of a white collector to the place of Dr. Crum, the same Negroes throughout this country are holding office as under Roosevelt. True the President has fraternized with Southeners. It is also true that the Negroating South has mistaken his fellowship for a quiescence in her injustice to the Negro and, as in Florida, has attempted to still further suppress the Negro. But it must be held in mind also, that President Taft has sought to disabuse the mind of the South, in condemning the proposed Negro disfranchisement amendment in Maryland. It is further to be remembered that everywhere in the South Mr. Taft has spoken in defence of the equal Americanism of the Negro. He has there praised the black man's progress and denounced the demagogues of race prejudice. The President has importted the Negro race to be patient and bide its time, trusting him to treat it rightly. Mr. Taft in his own way has gone about the relief of the Southern situation. That way may not be yours, the average Negro's way. But you, with other candid men, must admit the honesty and wisdom of the Father of the Filipinos in such colossal tasks. He is mindful of the vital value of the Negro in the last campaign and in the Republican party. Further time must elapse before Taft's promise of friendship for the Negro may be repudiated. We too ask the Negro to wait, for we are confident that all will be well in the end. DIVISION OF THE DOCTORS. We are heartily sorry that the Boston doctors are splitting on the eve of the convention of the National Medical Association which meets in Boston in August. The basis of the present unfortunate division, it seems, arose over the alleged misrepresentation of a well-known younger doctor as to his securing a degree in London. The outsting of the doctor from the association has precipitated a struggle for control of the organization and the preparations for the convention between the younger and elder groups of the Massachusetts organization. We have no disposition to meddle. But the success of the convention meaning advance and uplift to the entire race, we believe, is at stake. We should like, therefore, to suggest this word. First of all we should like to ask both factions to stop for an instant and consider the injury which factual control would mean to the convention and the race. Then we would like to ask the cooler heads of both factions if they will not agree on a common and unselfish plan of procedure. If necessary can they not arbitrate their differences? Now, secondly, knowing personally that splendid coterie of younger doctors, we should like to urge upon them a calmer and more conservative course. We think that they might defer in matters of argument to the older doctors. A rule or ruin course, even though you predominate in numbers much more ruin to the convention, for which you have so long and are now so devotedly working To the older doctors, known for the most part the country over for their success as presidents and as officials, we would suggest that they, too, make concessions They doublet recognize the greater effort of the younger physicians in their interest for a successful convention. We do not why they might not leave the exact of their common plans to the young and more aggressive hands. Whid personally may not have so much to gain from the success of the convention, you have a keen and experienced sense of the loss to the race and of the future loss loss which an unsuccessful convention will entail. Therefore, in the interest of the National Medical Association, in the interest of the Negro race, we ask them to come together and to settle their differences before division becomes bitter and while there is yet time THE DELUSION OF DUGRO. One of the basest and most offensive opinions ever handed down by a New York court of law was that of Justice Dugro, of the Trial Term, setting aside a verdict of $2,300 which George W Griffin, a Pullman porter, had recovered against Daniel M Brady for false arrest. The justice declared that the facts that Griffin was a Negro and a porter must be taken into account, and accordingly the damage awarded was excessive. What is equally remarkable, the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court upheld the justice's decision last week. In failing to review and refute this malicious slander, the Appellate Term became a party to this gross insult to the Negro by the deluded Dugro. On appeal to the Supreme Court we do not believe that this part of the opinion will stand for an instant. If the color of a man's skin is to be taken into account in the dispensation of justice, if the damage sustained be relative to the race of the sufferer, what becomes of the cardinal principle of justice, of equality before the law. If a man's occupation is an unfailing badge of innate quality, then America would have a caste system enforced by law. The logical conclusions of Justice Dugro's remarks are so astounding to cause us to wonder how such a curious judicial phenomenon could find its way in the twentieth century into a New York court of law Judge Dugro boldly proclaims his ignorance of the Negro and the Negro's position. He does not know that there is many a black gentleman beneath a Pullman porter's cap. He does not know that industrial segregation forces many Negroes capable of and fitted for higher work, into menial service. He does not know that these unjust conditions in the Negro's breast rankle with a bitterness and anguish experienced by no white man. He did not reason to the point that the false arrest and imprisonment by a boasting Southerner of so proud and independent a Negro as Griffin was a genuine injury. The opinion of Justice Dugro in its ante-bellum, Dred-Scott conception of Negro manhood is past understanding. We can only hope that the higher courts will speedily right this grievous insult to the Negro, which the Appellate Court has allowed to stand. --- THE PRACTICAL PREACHER. The greatest shortcoming of the Negro ministry, aside from the lack of moral virtues in too large a part of it, is its lack of practicality. The Negro church is losing its hold upon the people to the extent that it is, largely because it is not keeping abreast of the times. The younger generation is growing up in increasing churchlessness because the church is not reaching it. It has been truly said that a churchless generation is a godless generation; a godless generation is a vicious generation, and vice is the mother of crime. The Negro ministry is too largely emotional and ignorant. In too many communities we find ignorance and emotionalism in the pulpit trying to attract and lead intelligence and enlightenment in the pew. Too large a part of the Negro ministry still holds that Christianity is something entirely aside from moral, mental and practical progress. While Christianity may be more than any one or all of these, Christianity does presuppose all three of these as its basis. Christianity, to-day, presupposes a healthy mind in a healthy body. If the Negro preacher would preserve his hold upon the race, he must preach, he must concern himself with the material comfort, the moral and educational progress of his people. The Negro church is still preaching the heinousness of the of fences of dancing, social and athletic games. Youthful natures require youthful pleasures. If good places are not provided for them, if the Negro preacher does not concern himself with their provision, bad places will be sought. The Negro pulpit is still preaching glory and equality in heaven, when the Negro youth needs most a comfortable existence, financial and mental, equality in his life here on earth. The successful Negro church henceforth must touch and react upon the actual, work-a-day life of the community. It is for the Negro preacher to take conditions as they are and improve upon them. It is for him to accept advanced thought and changing conditions, and to turn them to his own account and that of the church The Negro church will regain its lost power, it will remove from the Negro race the dire peril of increasing churchlessness, only as it becomes more practical. Justice Dugro indeed gave a wonderful psychological, sociological disquisition on the relative suffering of white and Negroes The more he and aided, the more our wonder grew that J. Hen, Mr. small head could carry all be and Mrs. THE STRIKE IN GEORGIA. Responding to the call of "white supremacy" of a walking delegate, E. A. Ball, of Canada, the white firemen of the Georgia Railroad and their "poor white" sympathizers have brought on the dastardly strike situation in Georgia. The courageous Negro firemen have been brutally overpowered and maltreated by the cowardly strikers' mob. The unprotected engineers, out of sympathy more than out of fear, have struck and paralyzed traffic for five hundred miles along the railroad's lines. What is most important, the United States mail in the same territory has been delayed and almost suspended. The situation, we believe, calls for prompts and drastic action on the part of the State authorities, and that failing, as it seems to be, on the part of the United States Government Not only do the safe transmission of the mails and of inter-State commerce require it, but the protection of the inmanable rights of Negroes to life and liberty demands it. Former President Cleveland set a splendid precedent in the Chicago strike in 1894. We expect President Taft to be no less vigorous in this unjust and distressing crisis. The employment of the Negro firemen by the Southern railroads neither blocks the promotion of white firemen to engineers, nor affects their employment as engineers Negroes, however deserving or competent, are not employed as engineers. But the more efficient and experienced Negro firemen have been rewarded with the better runs on the road. Therein lay the opportunity for the mischief-making delegate—the opportunity to appeal to the feeling and prejudice of the white firemen and the Georgia "crackers" Seizing the recent layoff of ten white firemen, paid $175 per day, whose places were filled by Negro firemen at $125 per day, the delegate and second vicepresident of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers, ordered the strike on May 17. The crusade has now begun for the discharge of every Negro fireman in the South The mad movement, unless taken in hand at once, will entail untold trouble throughout the Southland. We trust that Gov Hoke Smith can and will cope with the situation, otherwise, we believe it to be the plain and high duty of the Federal Government to step in and at once. CONDUCT ON THE CORNERS. We have thought for some time of addressing as many of our thoughtful and far-sighted people as we could reach, on the street manners of our young people. We are constantly mortified by the conduct of our young people in various parts of the city, where Negroes reside in large numbers, and especially do we call attention to the very bad habit our young men have of congregating on the corners. Throughout the year, and especially at this season, one may find on the corners of such communities as that centering around Fifty-third street and that centering around One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, scores of our young men As the general rendezvous, they there block the sidewalks, impede traffic and by their unseemly conduct cause much needless trouble, and attract much unfavorable attention. The more thoughtless of the group will indulge in loud and vulgar conversation Invariably other members will engage in skylarking and other amateur athletics. This is not only to the annoyance and injury of the neighboring business houses, but it at once advertises the fact to street car passengers and pedestrians that this is a Negro neighborhood. This offensive conduct hurts the race in ways and in a measure little dreamed of by the young men and the casual observer. It was only a few days ago that a friend of the race spoke of the Negro communities in New York as "eyesores of our civilization." Now, we want to urge every one who reads this to do what he can to make this habit of congregating on the corners unpopular To the preachers and the leading and influential Negroes in every community we appeal to rid your community of this destructive practice Create a sentiment against it Use whatever measures are necessary to stamp it out These are the little factors of the race problem which we ourselves may easily remove. --- After a delay of four years the Supreme Court of these United States has actually taken cognizance in behalf of the Negro of the contempt of the Chattanooga sheriff, John S. Shipp, his deputy John Thom, and four others on March 19, 1900. The Negro was convicted of rape, it will be remembered, was constructively in the custody of the Federal Court by reason of the appeal granted from the decision of the United States Circuit Court denying him a writ of habeas corpus, which gave the prisoner a stay of Execution Sheriff Shipp made no more pretense of protecting Johnson, and no more concern was made over lynching him than if he had been in the hands of the local courts. The affronted dignity of the Supreme Court was immediately aroused with the result that more than four years later attachments have been issued for those most plainly in contempt. It is supposed that sentence will be passed on June 1 when the summons is due. The Supreme Court is to be congratulated on the vigilance of its justice to the Negro, even though it is a dead Negro. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. The night riders of Lexington, Kentucky, have objected to the $400,000 Lincoln Institute for Negroes being placed in the community. The night riders have rejected education of all kinds but especially do they object to seeing so much money in their very mouths and not able to get it into their stomachs. Well, the squabble spirit has broke out in another place in Boston, among the doctors, just as we thought it was dying out with the passing of our screeching contemporary. The wrangling habit of the Hub appearing again reminds us of the theft who used to steal his hat off his head to keep in practice. --- The Appellate Term of the Supreme Court, upholding the fine for discrimination of $100 against the Green Car Sight-Seeing Company, has made that company see New York in a light that it has never seen it before.

William M Randolph, as Assistant City Attorney, at a salary of $2,500 per year. Position is not everything unless you have the spirit and the spirits to use that position. Manager General Scott, of the Georgia Roadroad did the manly thing, in our judgment, in refusing to arbitrate the race strike, as suggested by Gov. Hoke Smith, with walking delegate E. A. Ball, of Canada. There is neither right nor reason on the part of the "cracker" firemen, with neither honor nor a knowledge of conditions attaching to the demagogue-leader of the strikers. Arbitration was simply a play to the gallery hoax of the G-101-01 error. The Atlanta Constitution points with pride to the fact that the four Richmond Negro banks have reported to the State Corporation Commission have done a yield of business during the year of three-quarters of a million dollars, and then the Constitution observes there are no Northern Negro banks While that latter statement is not exactly accurate, the lecture to Northern Negroes is all right, though Northern Negroes think the lecturer is all wrong Partiality of the Press Has it ever occurred to you that the newspapers of this country owe something to the colored race other than recording day after day the crimes that Negroes commit? What newspapers with in your range of reading gave any space to mention the color of the interest of these people? You cannot name one. We hold them up to ridicule, we show humorously their dearse ignorance and quaint views to make white folks laugh, and we tell with unfailing regularity of the worst they are guilty of. We tell them how to narrate how he was lynched. Now, all Negroes are not bad. There is many a good man among them. It is rare that we notice him. We owe it to him to notice him, tell of the good work he does, not only to encourage him, but to encourage the South have not given the Negro a square deal. Possessed of all the prejudice incident to white life in the South, we nevertheless submit that we as newspapers treat the colored man badly and we ought to do better than we have by doing so we will contribute to our own welfare...Richmond Time-Depatch. NEGRO AND INDIAN The London Times Guesses at Reasons for America's Treatment. Of the 10,000,000 Negroes and Negroids in the United States it is reckoned that one-fifth are nearly white. They have lost all the more obtrusive characteristics of the black race, and they often have some more beautiful characteristics of the Caucasian type. They can show white skins—only too white—blue eyes and fair or even red hair. The cranial type is altered to the Caucasian model, and indeed the same is true in a less degree of full-blooded Negroes who have been long under white skins. They are in the same conditions of life, many of them wealthy and highly educated. Yet the racial line is drawn with unabashed severity. They are socially Negroes and have to consent in public places and railway carriages with the pure Negroes to whom they are distantly related. There is no use in complaining of this or in mortalizing about it. We have only to note the fact and we are obliged to believe that there is some reason for it lying probably far below the truth. For besides this fact we have the other that, though the American Indian is not only widely different from the Canadian type but is an hereditary enemy with the same blood, we are equally square with the country itself the Indian half breeds take their name easily among the white men and are freely absorbed. They travel without question and may be married to Indian women. Chinman may do, while the whitest of men suspected of having a trace of Nebraska blood is promptly ejected. It would seem that there are white men and the aboriginal Indian which do not exist between blim and the black man, and that some primordial instinct of antagonism overpowers all conscious reasoning where the black blood is in the question.—The London Times.

The American Baptist A study of statistics relating to charity dispensed in Washington by organized charities, recently promulgated by the Bureau of Commerce and Labor, is not at all surprising. The number of families whom the records show relief was given in 1905, 452 were white and 731 colored. When the number of white families compared with the number of black families, the former comprise 88.2 per cent and the latter 61.8 per cent of all families receiving aid.

This same trap was set for what the enemies of our people on the Gun and as a result the class of colored men --- who allowed themselves to be charmed and caught in the enmeshed trap are today more despised and rejected by the ruling classes in the South than are the illiterate and dependent element of the race. The same will come to pass in Maryland, where a government amendment approved by a majority of the voters at the next election.—The Baltimore Advocate. The question, which arises, is what is the Negro desire to do to prevent this effort on the part of the Maryland Democrats or Demagogues. It is hoped that the Negroes will get their eyes open and work hard against the idea of a Constitutional Amendment. They desire to disfranchise the Negroes just as has been done in the past. The Negroes may aim, but if there is any possible way for the Negroes to circumvent their plans, they should not lose the opportunity to do so. If Maryland ever disfranchises the Negroes you may look for some other States further up the line to follow suit.—The Lodge Journal and Guide. CHRISTIAN RECORDER EDITOR Prideate "Age" (frumale for Moral Ministry—Ignorance of Authorit- To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE If ever a commendatory word, to the editor of pro bono publico proclivities is in order. It is commendably belfishing that the AGE has appointed the editor, timely and pointed editorial on "Morals of the Minister" in your valuable issue of May 13. During the period of rest cure granted me by my church, I have been involved in many mental activities, but I hate THE AGE among my most highly prized weekly literary visitors, because of the lofty ground it occupies in whatever pertains to the arts. I am a strong supporter and command your paper for not trimming its sails to catch the breeze of popular favor. By giving your constituency sound teaching and orthodox councils along all sides of the issues, the ranks of your genuine supporters will be constantly multiplied. Many people will show the praise of THE AGE and its editor since reading the series of sane and honest articles, which have appeared from time to time in the columns of THE AGE. One might be inclined to ask, conceding the paramount importance of morality in the minister's role by so little said the minister's role in the nomination press? Why is it that great secular leaders and newspapers are left to exhort the race to a sense of duty along ethical lines while other leaders comings or remain mute while the church and society are being dragged down by the mill-stones of moral dead-weights, which hang about the neck of the race, and which are not being taken up by organs or ecclesiastical rulers in high places say so little on the subject of the necessity of correct moral living among Negro ministers because they take for granted the question of the race in the circles referred to. But this conclusion is scarcely tenable in the light of notorious facts and conditions to the contrary. Were it not so well known that open arguments in the question of the race of churches and blishes who call and appoint "these wolves in sheeps' clothing" might plead the excuse of ignorance for doing so. We cannot plead the ignorance of those who call others in maintaining these moral lepers as our religious guides for others have had centuries of development and achievements in their favor while we are but a few years old. All the resultant evils and causes entailed upon a weak and servile people. Bpt. Mr. Editor, no arguments other than those you have advanced are necessary for you to be clean and wholesome ministry for our people. Such a ministry is demanded by the students of society and required by the word of God. The act of the latter is weaker than the act of the Lord." With a healthy, robust ministry and God on our side we are sure to win out in our fight for liberty, equality and justice to guide us nought else may we expect but shame and discomfiture in the end.

May 24.—A goodly portion of the remarkable wealth which the Jackson Negroes have accumulated, is in the bands of a few individuals. The aggregate wealth of seven of these more well-tb-do Negroes, by a conservative estimate, is at least $200,000. This wealth is largely in the form of real estate. In fact, an increasing number of enterprising Negroes are looking to their real estate holdings for the greater part of their incomes. About five of these men, whose exceptional incomes place them in a class by themselves, own from 20 to 100 houses each A Mania for Business. There is a small group of professional Negroes, who have found their business interests more lucrative than the pursuit of their professions. Particularly is the work of Dr. Redmond, the Dr. Atwood and J A Martin. Dr. Phaps the most conspicuous successful of them all is Dr S D Redmond, who enjoys the largest practice of any of the Negro physicians of the town Dr Redmond, who is probably the wealthiest Negro in the Illinois Medical College, came to Jackson about ten years ago without sufficient means to establish himself properly in his practice. To-day, at 30 years of age, he is probably the wealthiest Negro in the Illinois Medical College, the older of the two Negro banks, and a stockholder in three banks controlled by whites as well as in one of the power and light companies. He owns much valuable land, and is receiving rent from more than 100 houses. An Earnest Request to Our Readers! ARTICLE II. Two drug stores, one of which is situated on the chief business street of the town belong to him and are doing a paying business. R. K. Atwood was born in Wilcox County, Alabama, in 1851. When 12 months old, he was sold on the block on the street he bought him for $300 and moved with him to Lake Charles he attended Lincoln University Pennsylvania, graduating in 1874. Two years later he was admitted to the bar in Msissippi. He has served two terms as a member of the Mississippi Legislature and has held the position of United States Commissioner and United States Deputy Revenue Collector for the Louisiana-Mississippi district. Besides being president of the Southern Bank Mr. Atwood has worked with other Negro enterprises in the town. He amassed considerable property, and is generally regarded as one of the shewestest of the Negro business men of Jackson. J. A Martin, the principal of the public school for Negroes, is one of the most influential Negroes of the town being highly respected by white and black presidents. The American Trust and Negro Bank has stock in one of the white banks, and owns much valuable real estate There are about 100 business and mechanics. There are about 200 contractors in the town, a few of whom are rapidly growing business. These are men who started out as ordinary skilled mechanics, and, after accumulating a salary upon an independent basis, launched out upon an independent business kind of enterprise has been made possible. Negroes by the unprecedented amount of building that has been carried on in the contracting companies. Five of these contracting companies did combine business last year of $190,000. Employment constantly to about 44 men, C. C. Sims, who does a business that compares favorably with that done by the Negroes in the farm on a farm, near Jackson, 43 years, a spent his youth there with such limited advantages as a Mississippi rural community of that time gave to the Negroes a farm in Jackson where he picked up the company's trade, finally engaging in 1880 in an independent contracting business. During the last year his contracts were more than $75,000. Mr. Sims frequently improves the 50 or more men that he pays his pay for labor is between $800 and $700 a week. His work has gained for him such a reputation that his contracts are in many of the towns near Jackson. The group of skilled workmen from which these contractors have sprung from, on the whole, a very desirable class, the Negro citizenship. They receive good wages, and earn large numbers are investing their earnings or businesses. Of 83 mechanics, about whom information was secured, more than two-thirds owned their homes. Negro mechanics, as has been mentioned, consist of a large part, more than two-fifths of the stockholders of the two Negra banks. A goodly number of the skilled Negro laborers are carpenters, there being about 150 engaged in this trade. Besides these, 40 of the 40 carpenters, 25 plasterers, 35 palmetteers, 35 cotton samplers, 2 engineers, 7 machiners, and a number of others distributed among several trades. In the plastering trade, the Negro workmen are no white competitors. One Negra firm, the Negro carpenter, Populus and Boise, did more than $50,000 worth of business last year. ```markdown ``` In the case of the Negro woman, the man earns an living a far more limited limit (about 85), 3 graduate nurses, who enjoy lucrative practices, 1 milliner, and 8 stenographers complete the list of skilled workers among the colored women, of whom Jackson has always been regarded by Negroes throughout the State as a good town for members of their race. The town's making living are as good or better than in the State. The educational advantages, although inadequate, are far above the average. Furthermore, there has been a little difference between the whites and blacks. There has never been a lynching in Jackson. A conservative element of well-told white citizens have shown in no unanimable manner their friendliness toward the Negroes. In better ways. But later, and particularly since the coming of Governor Vardaman, the thinking Negro has come to realize that conditions are changing closer. For instance, Negro and white mechanics have for many years worked together, often side by side, without friction, but frequent instances of apprehension have come closer one to believe that competition of racial lines is increasing. In the summer of 1908, the white carpenter started a public campaign against the employ of Negro carpenters by white tractors. The little was accomplished in this campaign.

Has Awakened New Interest in Institution since His Incumbency, says The Age Correspondent Regular correspondence to Tim Ago. Chicago, Ill., May 24 - Your correspondent recently had the opportunity of visiting Howard University, and through the courtesy of Prof. Kelly Miller met and talked with President Thirlke and many of the professors and teachers and saw in class room and on the campus hundreds of young men and women who come to Howard University from many states of the Union To those whose acquaintance with Edward University covers a period of twenty years or more nothing can be more suggestive of the steady advance of the Negro people through the years, than the university as it is to-day. As I witnessed these young men and women throng into the beautiful memorial chapel for vesper service on Sunday afternoon, I felt a thrill of pride and pleasure at so complete an evolution of real race progress. There was nothing here to indicate, carefully to suggest, that these were the children of a downrotten race. And yet, in the country a group of students so good to look upon. The corps desprit that distinguished the entire student body was splendid to witness. Girls winseme pride in their achievements, pride of hearing indicative of good breeding and a certain self-respect, were everywhere in evidence, and made one feel that we were indicted in the midst of an ars of wonderfully change conditions. The students were so adept that Howard University is a poor man's school. There is on every hand indications that the university is entering upon an era of great achievements, a genuine university spirit, is fast admiring the old idea of the "mission school." The present year has brought to the university numerous favors that have been wool long deferred, the first being by Mr. Carlsgren's generosity, the much needed Science Hall to be built at a cost of $900,000, together with the increased appropriation for administrative expenses of $100,000, and the magnificent new Hospital built at a cost of $300,000, are among the big things that have come to Howard during the past year. The chickfield is not only gratified over these good things that have so recently come to the university, but feels assured that the university is entering upon a new era of importance as an education center. The university, bander, Gen. O. O. Howard, is coming to a splendid realization. If the government shall continue its present liberal policy, it will not be long before Howard becomes the great universities of the country. A great university is not for black people or white people, but for all people in quest of the higher learning. It is the hope of Dr. Thirkield that the Negro people will themselves rally to the support of the university, not only to help them, but that to the greatest, enthusiasm and race pride that in the long run will make for a great cosmopolitan seat of learning. Let none of us be afraid of a so-called university There is scarcely a nationality of any kind in the United States that does not have its own academic and professional schools in which they are training their students. There is scarcely a nationality in American citizenship. This is not because they want to separate themselves from Americans, but rather because they wish to preserve, strengthen and ennoble what is distinctively their own. If Howard University ever becomes what it is today, it will come to be regarded as a great national asset of culture, and not merely a Negro university that a decidedly new interest has been awakened in the university since President Thirskind has been president is ever more proud of the campus during the year of such distinguished people as President Roosevelt, Ambassador Bryce, Secretary Garfield and Carnegie Andrew, speaking words of encouragement and hope, and the far-reaching influence of Dr. Booker T. Washington, who contributed in making this a memorable year for Howard University Fannie Barrier Williama News from Providence, R. L. PROVIDENCE, R. I.

Physicians at Long Beach—Calvary Mortgage—Odd-Dell Folloys' Pole Regular Correspondence to the Agr. Boston May 24, 1944. The discussion in the Agr. Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical Association has culminated in a break. The younger physicians, confident in the strength of their popularity and influence, have organized to resist the efforts of the older physicians. The first movement of the Dr. N. M. A will be directed to the Dr. N. Garland on the local committee. The revolutionary action was not precipitate, but employed after careful preparation and sympathetic assurances from every source of income. One of the younger physicians was the director for the wheel of preparation for the entertainment of the N. M. A was absolutely bugged by the eternal internal w rille. Not only the Garland episode, but other displeasing features were robbed the arrangements of their best enthusiasm. The England doctors, were dulled entirely by the Bay State Association, which is composed of Massachusetts doctors only. More tolerable still is the control of men who bitterly opposed the coming of the war, and who actively engaged in resisting the Citizens' committee, composed of some of the strongest men in the city, realizing the extent of the Dr. Garland matter, resolved to ask the local committee to settle its difficulty as soon as the committee might proceed more smoothly. The "older men" resented the interference and a sharp dispute argue. The younger men have proceeded in arranging a new organization, and the list of old men will appear in the next edition of the Agr. Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical Association the next convention of the N. M. A will be the greatest in its history. Dr McCurdy's Club had a delightful parlor social at the home of Mrs Chas.

In the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court Presiding Justice, Patterson and Justice Clarke dismissed from the decision of the other three judges to affirm Justice Dugro's decision. Brooklyn Eagle Recent Unanim Declares The Brooklyn Eagle, the leading independent Democratic paper of Brooklyn, speaks editorially on the opition of Justice Dugro in part as follows: Supreme Court Justice Dugro has just set aside a verdict in a civil suit, in which the Argentine recovered $2,500 against a white man as damages for an unjust arrest for an offence the plaintiff was proved not to have committed. The allegation was robbery or theft. The language used was a duration of time, the duration was two hours. The case came for review before Judge Dugro. He said he would let the result stand, provided the Negro would consent to have the verdict reduced to $400. The plaintiff was inside. The result may have been just so far as the reduction of the damages was concerned. The Appellate Division in New York has unanimously sustained the re- It was not only "quite enough," but it was really too much, and is unfortunate on various accounts. Judge Dugro as much as said that he might have let the judgment stand, had the plaintiff been a white man, and had the judge grow an united to less, because his loss or hurt was really less than it would have been, were be white. His standing would be less impaired, as his rating would be less and the reflection on him would be regarded as less. Moreover, his ability to recover from or throw off the injury was great, but is unimportant, so to speak, in short, because of his color. If the judgment was sound, and we have no reason, in the face of the Appellate Division, to assume otherwise, the reasons could have better been omitted. The law is or should be no nudge of persons, or no pro-ero-motion could be felt by a jury, but no jury would be likely to allow it in rendering a verdict, or would likely be allowed to do so. A judge could well refrain from doing so, in affirming or reversing a verdict or in affirming or reducing a judgment. In a criminal trial it would be impossible to prove a trial, as this was, it might be avoided. Judge Dugro is one of the careful and quiet magistrates as a rule. His character is excellent, and his conclusions are rarely reserved. The reasons he advances for the decision he has reached are clear: he is a judge who does notinger to all citizens of African descent and will tend to surprise and shock white folk of sensibility and reflection. A decision that was based wholly on the evidence and which in nothing took account in language of the race or color of the plaintiff, could be attacked without regard to the race of the suing party at all. The estate of the law and justice had been better had Judge Dugro judge it, we may well salute Simon instead of the one. He renders None could have been offended by it with good cause. Not a difference. Judge Dugro should not be offended and many of both races will think their offended feeling not without cause. The Negro did quite right to refuse to accept Judge Dugro's condition, and he will appeal or begin a new suit. Dr Elbert Nominated for City Council. WIMMINGTON, Drz. May 22 - At the Republican primary election held here a few days ago, Dr Samuel H Elbert was nominated in the Sixth Ward, winning in a three-cornered contest, the hottest of the day, by a plurality of 112 Dr Elbert is a prominent Negro physician here NEGRO CHAUFFERS OF ATLANTA Reply to White Chauffer Who Is Socking to Draw "Celer Line." Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. ATLANTA, GA., May 24.—A committee, representing the Negro chauffeurs of Atlanta, has sent out the following article in reply to a communication published a few days ago, signed by Tom Lane, a white chauffeur, which makes the position that the chauffeur business is one that should be contined exclusively to white men. In reply, the Negro chauffeurs say: "The criticisms against the colored chauffeurs do injustice to a set of men who are trying to make an honest living, and to do their duties for their employers faithfully and in such a way as to bring commendations from the men who pay them their wages. Mr Lane does not take into account the fact that the first automobile drivers in Atlanta were colored men, and to day a great many of the best, most prominent and wealthiest families in our city have colored men to drive their cars, just as they have hired them to drive their carriages. The confidence given colored drivers in having charge of the car when out with the ladies and the children of the household is an appreciation of their services, and it is a fact which cannot be disputed that very few accidents have been charged up to the colored chauffeurs of Atlanta Certainly a much smaller percentage than is HOTELS, RESTAURANTS, ETC.

The colored drivers have had comparatively few cases made against them for speeding, and it might be interesting to get up a comparison on this line with the white drivers. The care and keep up of cars given by colored drivers will also compare favorably with the cars in charge of the white drivers. "Up to the time of the coming of the auto the colored men controlled the driving of vehicles, and think it is but natural they should also have charge of the successor to the horse "Among the colored chauffeurs in Atlanta are men who have been constantly driving for from four to eight cars, but for one or by any means scarce, but can seem to ours every day driving successfully the cars of the employers. We only ask a fair show and fair return for our work, and believe that we will in almost every instance, give full value in service rendered for what we receive In conclusion, we would like very much to impress upon the minds of all that we simply want to earn an honest dollar, and we feel that our employers look at it in the same light, or else they would rid themselves of our services at once."

ASH OR CREDIT of the pri FRANK DONNAHAN --- Music and the Stage 10 LESTER A WALTON DEATH OF ERNEST HOGAN ERNEST HOGAN, known in private life as Reuben Crowdsus, is dead. After a lingering illness, two months' duration of well-known illness is added to the disease of which he had been for some time a victim, but only after a hard fight—a fight which he so valuably fought for nearly two years—one that commanded the admiration of Death came to the "Unleashed American," as he styled himself, on the morning of Thursday, May 20, at the family residence, 1002 Brook avenue, where Mrs. Louise was surrounded by his wife, Mrs. Louise rowdiness, Miss Maggie Warfield, his wife, Richard Van Meter, and Attorney J Frank Wheaton, an intimate friend. He expired with his hands in those of Attorney Wheaton, wishing the world God's blessing upon him, he was conscious, and a few hours before his death was aware, that the end was High tribute was paid to Ernest Hogan as man and actor last Sunday, when the citizens of New York City, irrespective of color, turned out in parades and pledged to all that was central of the late comedian. Men high in the theatrical profession, business men and hundreds who greatly admired Ernest Hogan during life, showed their respect at death. The general services were held over the remains from the Church of St Benedict, the Moor, at 1 o'clock last Sunday. The funeral was conducted under the o'Keefe officiating, the Catholic Church was the church that were unable to obtain admission. It is only in exceptional cases that the Catholic Church holds mass for the repose of the soul on Sunday, and an exception was made in order that the funeral of the late comedian be held on the Sunday Father Keele's serene, very impressive. His discourse on life and death was listened to by all with marked attent The active palebearers were composed of some of the leading colored members of the theatrical profession. Rosamond Johnson, Alex Rogers, Charlie Hart and Bob Slater. Among the honorary palebearers were Fred R. Moore, N. S. Feldman, Jules Hurgl, Harry R. Bissma, Bibia, Kemp, Lee Pherson, Bobby Kemp, Henry Tie and Ike Hines. The remains were taken from the offices of the C. Franklin Carr Burial Company, 286 West 63d street, and carried to the Church of St. Benedict, the Moor, on the shoulders of the palebear, all viewed by the mourner. The funeral service the body was taken to the undertaking establishment, where the public was permitted to look upon the face of the widely known comedian for the last time. The casket was entirely covered with floral pieces sent by organizations and friends from Amherst, Mass., from Fargo, the Colored Vandelle Association, the Red Moon Company, the Georgia Campers, Hurtig and Seamon, Carter and Bluford, N. S. Feldman and Dr. A. B. Jackson, of Philadelphia. Sunday afternoon the body was shipped to Bowling Green, Ky., the home of the deceased, and the nephew and Attorney J. Frank Wheaton. The remains were interred in the family plot Tuesday. Many letters of regret relative to the death of Ernest Hogan have been received at THE AGE office, but space will not permit the publication of these expressions, of which contain the thought that the statue lost one of its most valuable members. Among the resolutions adopted by the theatrical organizations is the following adopted by the colored vaudeville performers. Whereas, The sad news has reached us that on the morning of the 20th inst. that Mr. Ernest Hogan departed this life, whose death removes from our midst a useful man, one of unpotted reputation, who was a great benefactor to the theater and has caused a grievous affliction to one who has endearled himself to us since he entered the theatrical profession; Therefore, be it Resolved, That, while bowing to the sovereign will of the Alameda Theater, we shall fromabor to reward, we hereby express our sincere consolation to the bereaved family, and in particular to his dear mother, in this hour of affliction, with the feeling that their loss is heaven's eternal gain. In the same respect, these resolutions be sent to the members of the bereaved family, and that a copy be sent to THE NEW YORK AGE for publication. Colored Vaudeville Association That the stage loses one of its greatest colored comedians in the death of Ernest Hogan is admitted by all. But aside from the loss of one whose talents as an actor and theatrical profession also lose one who might be termed, in many respects, a "Moses" of the colored theatrical profession, in other avenues of life, there are people in the theatrical profession who, although versatile and talented, fail to reach the desired goal, owing to their lack of business ability. To have the goods is one thing: to know how to sell them in another. It was wagner's performance that Hogan was the most performer of his time. Knowing that he had stock in trade that was desired by the theatrical man, he was persuaded to hire a man who the combativeness to drive a good bargain, and he became the highest-priced single character wanderie performer in the business. Before his death Ernest Hogan realized one of his pet ambitions—to be the only colored star in a big musical comedy. An leading comedian of the Rufus Rautus' Company, he not only realized his ambition, but demonstrated that an individual colored star could carry a big show, and it was one of the achievements of which he felt justly proud. There are men in public life who do many things in interest of others, and that has no connection with his business in which they are active, gaged, and of which the general杰杰 seldom learns. Ernest Hogan was not a category. Aside from his theatre, no sections he was an ardent race excited in pushing to the front of joyous delights in pushing to the front of joyous delights before them. Their Whid who know that the writer is one of the young men in whom Ernest Hogan was personally interested. It was a few years ago when the writer was then a reporter on a St Louis daily that he met the U. of Alabama American University Smart Set Company. It was Ernest Hogan who initially induced the writer to come last to not as his personal representative during the second season of the Ruffus Hastin Company. During his three wars of intimate war he had an opportunity to study the time, not from homsay, but from close range. The comedian's motto at all times was 'Give all in the theatrical profession an opportunity to make good being out of the chorus the ones who are just in the act.' He was always anxious to assist him whom he termed 'the little fellow' advancing the argument that some day he was destined to succeed the best performer. Ernest Hogan's career.

While in that section of the country he met Williams and Walker, and these two popular comedians credit the "tablelached American" with giving them their first big opportunity to make good. After enjoying success in the West, Ernest Hogan came East. At first he had a difficult time of it, but with that aggressiveness for which he was known, he managed to win. He was Nolan, who made him leading comedian of the "Black Patti Troubadouras." He scored his first big New York success on the New York Roof, where he remained for many months, and was the hit of every show he produced the Memphis Students, which act was another sensation in vaudeville. Under the management of Hurtig and Seamon he starred for two seasons in the "Rufina Rastus" Company, and was playing in the new show "Quilt work," an act he had been ill ever since, with tuberculosis. Ambition was one of the causes of Ernest Hogan's illness and ultimate death. He was versatile, and it was a difficult matter to keep him from displaying his talents at all times. He assisted in writing his last show, besides composing many of the songs, staging all the musical numbers and playing the leading role. Coupled with his talent, he gave other matters made his life a strenghtened one, and many who saw him rehearse "The Oyster Man" Company were not surprised to learn of his illness. Ernest Hogan was not what one would term a man of education. But he was a student at all times, a man of common sense, a good judge of human nature, far more an intellectual than a one-fold of fishnish, aggressive to a degree, a man of impulses and full of magnetism. His main fault was that, although he knew how to make money, he did not possess the ability to keep it. But that fault detriment than to other men, and does not detract one whit from the fact that during life he accomplished great good for his race, and advanced the standing of the colored members of the theatrical profession. Just how far the colored theatrical profession, in fact, the entire profession, is set back by the death of Ernest Hogan the writer will not attempt to even surmise, but it has sustained a great loss, for there is no one at this time to take his place.

SONGSTERS IN MUSICAL COM+DY TAKING into consideration that the belles and the beaux who took part in the two not musical comedy, The Belle of Bedford, are amateurs, and that they do not lay claim to being real, sure enough performers, the entertainment of their audience, and their prospect. Their was all that was to be desired. Of course, some of the Bedford song stars chipped louder than others, and it is also true that there were some who did not seem to be chirping at all merely stalling, to use the vernacular of the stage, and that they did not believe that the performance was an even one. There was in evidence the usual ocean of talk that makes one grow weary at times and long for a musical number, then there was the availance of stage wants, but such crimes should not be put at the door of the actors (with apologies for not or stage the piece. Too much dialog is not desired even in the big professional productions. You find nowadays that a musical number is "on tap" every few minutes, for the talk has to be very funny and interesting for the people to highly appreciate it during this day and time. So we suggest that you have a lot of time to next entertainment they will adhere more strictly to their name and give more songs and less dialog. Mr. Nail proved that he possesses a good singing voice. There were times when either he did not think the lines written by the author were good enough, or he suddenly became afflicted with a condition as an exertional producer of lines, many of which were more humorous than the ones in the book. Miss Laila Jones played the part of the "Bella of Bardolph," and she, too, appeared to more advantage in her singing than in her acting. And incidentally, whoever seized the opportunity to judge, judgment in choosing Mr. Nail and Miss Jones for the principal parts, as they made an attractive couple. T. Edward Proctor, as Sammy. Thompson, and Miss Viola Simmons as Dolly Meredith also contributed largely to the success of the play. J. Howard Braxton did not have very much to say, but he by his own make-up as a Prof. J. W. Fiddle that would have a professional proud. One of the most refreshing bits of work was done by the pony ballet, consisting of Misses Alice Scotton, Lillian Thompson, Amanda Kemp, and Mrs. Georgia Taylor, Amanda Kemp and Mrs. Georgia Taylor, presence of some of the ladies in the double sextet should not be overlooked, and there was one young lady of that number who usually made her exit last who was really graceful. In the cast were T. Henry Karney, Cecil Foote, Miss Alice Braxton, Miss Florabella Fogue, Miss Daisy Fogue, Mrs Worden A. Smith, Miss Estelle Parker, Miss Grace E. Nail, Mr. C. C. Clark, who sang a baritone solo in the last act, and Miss Melissa Fogue, who were Miss Metilda Ennox Messur, William Pogue, Frank J. Carmand, Thomas Jones, Richard E. Cooper, Ferdinand Accoe, J. Royal Rutiled, Eraskine S. Bell, Alfred Groves, Frank Bayne, Reginald Cope and James Kingland. The soloist in the performance was a fashionable one, and the boxes presented a picturesque appearance.

Langford is Heavyweight Champion of England. SAM LANFORD is now the champion heavyweight of England, having heavyweight of England, having won the title Monday night from Ian Hague, of Yorkshire, before the National Sporting Club of London. Hague was easy for Langford, and in the fourth round of the British Jaw, who fell to the floor and took the count. It was Langford's fight from the beginning. The contest was witnessed by several thousand bearing enthusiasts including some of the fighters on the Briton's Jaw, who fell to the floor and took the count. It was Langford's fight from the beginning. The contest was witnessed by several thousand bearing enthusiasts including some of the fighters on the Briton's Jaw, who fell to the floor and took the count. It was Langford's fight from the beginning. Langford's victory abroad and his presence in England adds to the present galaxy of colored fighters in Europe chief among whom are McVey and Janetette of any of them, and we predict that he will win several more titles before he returns to America. There are some who claim that Langford is a short distance fighter, and is unable to show speed after ten rounds, but the fighters rate. But don't let such opinions become too deeply rooted in your minds. Just watch him. Colorad Rail Park for Mobile.
