VOL. XXII. No. 35: PAPERS ADVOCATE Giving the Negro A Square Deal Industrially GEORGIA STRIKE Has Been Settled and All Negro Firemen in Present Employ of Road To Remain. Compliment Southern Newspapers on Fails and Conrageous Stand and Urge South to Tbwart Conspiracy Northern and Southern papers, regardless of political affiliations, are coming out editorially advocating the giving of the Negro a square deal indus-papers that the Georgia strike is an evidence of a conspiracy on the part of some of the white labor leaders to eliminate the Negro as an industrial factor in the Southern states. Since the first of the week trains have been running on the Georgia Railroad and the strike has been settled. The company has agreed to keep all the Negro firemen now in its employ. There shall be no more Negro firemen employed and the white firemen shall have seminars. Such items as whether Negro firemen shall wor kin the termmals etc. shall be settled by arbitration. The New York papers have shown marked interest in the strike, and all have secretly condemned the course of the white firemen and labor unions Georgia Railroad Strike a Symptom. The New York Sun, under the caption of Where Does the Negro Come In? says The trouble in Georgia is, after all, only a symptom. A labor leader from Canada has gone down into that once peaceful State to regulate the relations between the races. Of course he knows talking at all about them and presumably cares less. His real object is to solidify and reinforce the union of which he is a salaried official, and as a means to this halo on consummation he is appealing to the prejudices of those whites whose unity to the Negro is congenial and availing himself of the present incumbency of a Governor no longer hostile to the colored men and wielded to every known movement against race and property. If this conspiracy succeeds, what is to be done at the Negro and especially of the more industrious and frugal of the race. When the Civil War broke out the Negro in every Southern State were pursuing gainful and more skilled occupations. They were totally railroad firemen, they were Blacksmiths carpers carpenters sugar bakers builders and so on. They were every field of industry. In Louisiana for example they were tobacco even musicians and in all cases they profited personally through their respective callings and were elevated and applauded accordingly, though slaves in name. They rose in the social scale their homes became wholesome and manuavably refined. As a matter of fact they were better off than the corresponding class is to-day, and for them at least, their outlook was brighter and more promising. Now the union is striving to eliminate the Negro from the industrial equation in the South. The union wants a served front in both sections, and the union knows that the Negro can never be wholly eliminated from his white employer. If the so-called friends and boomers of the Southern Negro would do anything to help him now is their time. He wants to be stuffed with acacia demons, which there is no market where either North or South Negro does want the opporter tunity to trade in peace to make men. We don't install the Northern Negro. He is at his best under glass where the sons of the South will assert itself in due time. Where the Negro come in? He comes in and should say upon the returning man of Southern sanity and courage spirit of Southern Press Complimented. "The New Right to Work" is the heading of the editorial in the New York Wash. which is as follows. Facts that immediate employment of a few African American firemen is the ad- mobile spirit in which the press of the South is the issue. In every Southern State newspapers of influence and large organizations have courageously insisted upon the Negro's right to work. Thus the Robinson Times Despatch The S.A. has always decided that we give the Negro a square and an even chance industrially, to outwash itation has been the truth. To outwash Negroes from positions which are failing efficiently and without formal fraternity to repudiate this policy and to start a political result of which the com- THE NEW tuning multiplication of the idle Negro, the most dangerous element in the social body of the South' "This position has been emphasized again and again. The idle Negro is likely to be the criminal Negro. The working Negro is learning lessons of personal responsibility, of self-respect and of self-improvement. It was in his behalf and in behalf of the peace and order of the South that the New Orleans Times-Democrat scored Gov Smith for his failure to enforce order and spurned the idea that the issue was truly 'racial' "It is not. The white workingman of the South is as much concerned in the Negro's right to work as the Negro himself. Under slavery, when 8,000 great slave-holding families practically ruled the whole South, the suffer was one of the worst sufferers from the system. He worked the effect, whether wages or on his own account, in competition with slaves. If the purpose of the Georgia strike could be carried out in all trades, not only would Negro idleness and crime increase, but there would soon be a great mass of penniless labor ready to compete with white workingmen for any work that offered "The Negro is in the South to stay. The future of the region, and of every white man in it, is inseparably bound up with the Negro's education, his industrial opportunity and his increasing prosperity" Hoke Smith Subservient to Rioters. The New York Globe on "Another White Victors," is very sarcastic in referring to Gov. Hoke Smith's subservience to the race rosters, and says "Although trains are now running on the Georgia Railroad, and in some of the locomotive cabs are Negro firemen, the settlement of the strike in no way disposes of the big question. It remains, and will return in more and more vexing form. Intelligent Southern men realize that the problem raised is the most serious since emancipation, and there is a special call for wisdom "Under what is called 'arbitration' it is announced that the railroad company, while given the right to keep the Negro firemen it now has, has practically agreed to employ no more, and that in all cases the white firemen shall have seniority. It will thus be seen that the poor white of central Georgia, recently suffering under the horrors of Negro domination, may look forward to gradual emancipation. It is believed by the chusalric young men of the region served by the railroad that a fed judicious whippings will induce the Negro firemen voluntarily to resign, and thus a stain will be removed from the fair name of the State. "As it has heretofore been cogently argued that if a 'nigger' was allowed to write, he would soon be wanting to sit in the white man's parlor and marry the white man's daughter, so now it is argued that to allow a 'nigger' to have a free chance to work carries the same burden as those who no wonder Hoke Smith, Governor of Georgia who has been as subsistent to race rosters as Alfgeid was to anarchistic rosters, feels relieved and has ceased quaking in his big person."

Held in Columbus, O., in Every Respects a Fizzle STRIFE IN THE RANKS Because of the Election of Bishop Walters Over Rev. Waldron Plan of League To Affiliate With Democrats Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Special to THE NEW YORK ACE COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 1—The meeting of the National American Negro Political League, held there last week, was noted in the things—the dissension caused in the ranks owing to Bishop Alew Walters' election as president over Rev J Milton Waldron, and the slim attendance. Although Bishop Walters failed to put in his appearance he was elected President over Rev Waldron, the excuse being given by the supporters of Bishop Walters that Rev Waldron was too radical in his methods. On the other hand the friends of Rev Waldron assert that their candidate for the position is no more radical than his opponent—thus bad feelings. The meeting was in every respect a fizzle. There was not more than a dozen real members in attendance at any time. The son of John Brown was brought forward to advertise the meeting, and the Democratic Governor and ex-Democratic Governor were speakers. The Democratic governor gave the object and purposes of the meeting away in his address when he stated that "the principles of the Democratic party are in accord with the doctrines of one league," and gave further proof that the league is nothing but an adjunct to the Democratic party. Senator Foraker was concerned with his absence. The meeting was a decided frost, and only for the presence of the Governor, an ex-Governor and the son of John Brown it never would have attracted the least attention. The local organization here formed to receive the delegates disbanded when it was learned that the real aim of the league was to hitch on to the Democratic party, just as it did in the last campaign.

PAUL Stirred Over Presence of Negro Tenn- nies in Aristocratic Neighborhood Spell out to the New York耳 St. Paul Mum, June 1 The moving of two Negro families into the flats at Lincoln avenue which is in the heart of an aristocratic white district, stirred up a big row. The flat is owned by Dr. H P Bell who put the property into the hands of I P Anderson, a Negro letter carrier who is also a lawyer and con- duct a real estate office in his off hours from postal department Mr Anderson immediately put two respectable colored signatures, a request and asked the colored people to move The tenants have been considerably annoyed by a constant ringing of door bells which, when answered, disclosed no one and several windows have been broken with rocks. The property is worth about $12,000. The neighbors formed a committee and sent a petition to Washington to have Anderson removed from the service, but the First Assistant Postmaster-General Grandfield replied that Anderson came under the class of "sun downers" and that there was no rule of the department which forbids mail carriers doing outside work so long as it does not impair the value of their service for Uncle Sam. BUSINESS LEAGUE OF GALVESTON Holds Series of Mass Meetings—Registration Shows Great Progress Among Negroes. Special to The New York Age GALVESTON, Tex., June 1—A series of mass meetings held here a few weds ago by the local league manifested that business Negroes in Galveston are vigorously alive. The series began at the Avenue L Baptist Church, where Rev H M Williams urged his hearers to place a value on themselves as a people of business, to exercise broad mindedness toward the other fellow; to open meat markets instead of spending large sums of money for pleasure, and above all to give Negro girls a trade. At the second mass meeting, held at the church, W H. Noble, president of the local league, traced the history of the National League under its founder, Dr B T Washington, since 1901. This report, followed by several testimonials of men in business, closed the literary phase of the program. Next followed the registration of Negro professional and business men, with as far as possible, their salaries, and investments. Among the professional men numbered were four doctors, four lawyers, sixteen ministers with established churches, twenty-three school teachers, thirteen persons employed by the city of Galveston, sixty by the United States Government. The salaries of the last mentioned was put at $160,000 per pear The enumeration of the various kinds of business with the persons employed and the valuation of capital made a long list indeed. There were one sanitarium, one mullinery establishment, one automobile enterprise, two vegetable stands, four grocery stores, two newspapers, one shoemaker, one contractor and builder, one drug store, employing three persons and having an investment of $2,000, one laundry with six employees and investment of $800; two blacksmiths with two employees and investment of $800; five ice cream parlors with twelve employees and investment of $12,000; two furniture stores employing eleven persons and having investment of $15,000, four tailoring establishment (one fifteen years old) employing sixteen persons and having investment of $19,075; associations and societies with investments of $3,000, six wood workers with thirty employees and $16,000; investment; seventeen hotels, restaurants, cofs, boarding houses, etc., accommodating 300 guests per day, other employment to fifty persons, having investment of $29,755; thirteen shops for Negroes employing thirty three persons and having investment of $40,000; other barber shops for twenty owned or managed by Negroes; thirty employees and investment. On limiting salary, professional men, teachers, etc., Galveston has fifty-seven Negro business enterprises valued at $20,000, aiding in the supply of almost every demand in the city. Booker T. Washington to Address New Yorkers. Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee Academy and of the National Negro Business League will be the principal speaker at a meeting held in A M F Zion Church West 890th street, Sunday afternoon June 6. The meeting is under the auspices of the Negro Business League of New York and will be opened at 10 a.m. It is expected that there will be a large audience out to hear the distinguished educator. Dr Washington has long desired to speak to the colored business and professional men of this city Charles W Anderson Collector of Internal Revenue, and Prof William L. Bukley, who is a member of the Committee for the Industrial Improvement of the Negro, will be among the speakers President Llewland C. Collins will preside NEW REVOLT IN HAYTI.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE CAPE HAITIEN, Hayi, May 23 (by courier from Monte Christi Santo Domingo)—General Camacho, formerly Governor of Monte Christi, who is working with Gen Quirte Felice to overthrow the Government has at tacked and sacked Gusyubin and Dafabon, on the Haytian frontier, the Dafabon River being the northwest boundary between Hayti and the Dominican Republic. There has been fighting between the rebels and the loyal forces at Monte Christi The fate of José Bordas, Governor of Puerto Plata, is not known, but it is reported that he either dead or a prisoner.

COACHMAN OF FORTY YEARS Given Horse and Carriage, and Retired on a Pension After forty years of faithful service as coachman for the John A Morris family at Throggs Neck William Henderson seventy years old has been retired from service on a pension, and the horses and coach which have belonged to Mrs Morris have been given So from now on all the old coach man will have to do is to ride about with his wife whenever he feels disposed, and do whatever work he cares on the little cottage grounds, located on the Morris estate, which has also been given him. Recently Mrs Morris was persuaded by her sons, Dave Hennen Morris, former president of the Auto Club of America, and Alfred Hennen Morris, that the horeless carriage is the up-to-date thing. So the mother decided to give up her horses and coach for an automobile, and gave them to her old coachman as a gift. By White Prisoners of County Jail in Chicago Because Negro Prisoners Are Treated Allike In The Use of The Same Space For Recreation Special to The New York Aug CHICAGO, Ill., June 1—What was termed by many as a comical exhibition of "color phobia" was given in this city a few days ago. The place of exhibition was the County Jail, and the dramatis personae were the inmates behind the iron bars awaiting trial for various crimes. In the County Jail the prisoners are allowed the privilege of exercising in a part of the jail set apart for that purpose. The privilege is open to all alike and the question of caste among the many inmates has never been brought up for consideration. However, on the occasion referred to the guards received a big surprise when they received a protest from a number of the white prisoners, who complained that white and black prisoners were treated alike in the use of the same space for recreation. It did not take long for the jailer to put an end to such nonsense. Without ceremony, he ordered the criminal kickers and their confinement until they could overcome their prejudice when sent to their fellow criminals of a dark complexion. When they found there was to be no redress they plead for mercy and on their promise that they would not again violate the proprieties of the place and occasion they were released. The Conservator has had another resurrection and is again in the field of journalism with a "brand newness of dress," policy and management. Many and wonderful have been the ups and downs of the Conservator. It has had many periods of lapses and its death has been often predicted, but it always has a way of cheating its doleful prophets. The energetic pastor of Bethel Church, Dr. A. J. Carey, is now editor-in-chief, press and incomplete quitter of modern appliances all give promise of a weekly paper that can and will stir up things. The Young People's Sunday Club of St Stephen's A M I Church has developed one of the most interesting institutions of the city that makes for culture and higher ethical standards. Last Sunday afternoon a program was presented by a group of Postoffice clerks, Addresses on Harriet Beecher Stowe and Toussaint I. Ouverture are worthy of high praise. Apronment feature of the program was an orchestra composed of postclerks also. The young men of St Stephen's Club became interested in Lur New York Av and have decided to submit it and adopt it as the sole journal of race information. What is known as the Launce Audl a club made up largely of some of the most prominent Negro women of the city gave an elaborate musical program in the parlors of the Appomato Club Fridays evening last for the Benefit of the Old People's Home. Quite a large sum was realized. There is not a more worthy institution in the city. The ladies having charge of this affair were F. R. Richardson, Samuel Paul, Mrs F. Richardson, Mrs F. Williams and Mrs George Jackson. Two young Negro men, Mr Sheridan and Mr F. J. Porter have, through civil service examinations, won good positions as clerks in the Chicago library. These are the first young men to gain positions as clerks in the public library. Mr. James Mogabas has completed a course in naval engineering in the Arctic Ocean with Nicholas Hewitt, the sixth young Nicholas to receive a degree from the well-known institution. SHERIFF IN CONTEMPT For Permitting Lynching, Declares I S. Supreme Court Special to the New York Mc Washington June 11. The Supreme Court has handled down its opinion what is known is the Shipp Conten- tent case. It arose over the conviction and sent- ence to death of Lt. Johnson a negro for criminal assault at Chattanooga Teen and the allowance by the Supreme Court of an appeal. When the announcement was made that the appeal had been allowed a mule stormed the jail at Chattanooga took Johnson to a railroad bridge on the outskirts of the city and launched him. The then Attorney General, Mr Moody after an investigation by the Secret Service under the Department of Justice filed a bill in the Supreme Court charging Sheriff Shipp his deputy in court in permitting acting or taking part in the lanching. Testimony was taken by a commissioner resulting in the dismissal of the charge against several of the respondents. The court finds Sheriff Shipp, Deputy Sheriff Gibson and Williams, Nolan Padgett and May guilty of contempt and dismisses the information as to Deputy Sheriff Galloway and Messrs Justice and Wood. Attachments were ordered issued for those found in contempt, and they are ordered to appear before the Court. Justices White and McKenna con- curred in the views of Justice Peckham Justice Moody took no part in the case. Justice Peckham declared there was no evidence showing Sheriff Shipp had entered into any conspiracy to lynch Johnson, or that he had failed to take proper measures for the protection of his prisoner ONLY NEGRO RESIDENT Appointed Register of Vital Statistics of Hillside, N. Y. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE HILLSIDE, N. Y, June 2—F O Stratton, the only Negro resident of this village, and one who stands high in the community, has been tendered the position of Register of Vital Statistics, and has accepted It was a case of the office seeking the man, as Mr Stratton had no idea of filling a public position until waited on by a committee to learn if he was willing to be a member of the Health Board Hillside is composed of one thousand persons, composed in the main of German and Irish residents. A large hospital is located in the village. The new Register of Vital Statistics moved here F. O. STRATTON about a year ago from Newark, N. J., where he resided for fifteen years. Having a country home in Hillside he decided several months ago to move to the suburbs with his family. Mr. Stratton is well known in New York and New Jersey. He holds a responsible position with one of the large financial institutions in New York City, having been in its employ for about twenty five years. While in Newark he was active in settlement work, and a member of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, being the only licensed lay reader in the diocese. At a meeting of the village board of trustees Mr. Stratton was appointed to his new office which will not conflict with his business in New York City. WOMAN HALTS A MOB Sora Negro Fireman From Fury of Georgiana Who Hid Beaten Him. Special to The New York Air Force. Protecting too Braunt, a Negro fireman, from a mob Mrs Margaret Sylvester, a prominent woman of this city, is acclaimed as the heroine of the Georgia railroad strike. The attack on the Negro fireman was made late Saturday afternoon before it was generally known that the strike had been settled. A mob assaulted the Negro in the railroad yards and beat him badly. The Negro broke away and ran with the mob in pursuit. The chase led near the home of Mrs. Sylvester and when she saw the Negro she called to him to come in. The fireman obeyed and the mob tried to follow, but Mrs. Sylvester barred the way and denounced the man for his criminal attack on him. She told him that a number tried to enter her house she could not. Her attitude cowed the mob and it retreated. Mrs. Sylvester then had the fireman wounds dressed and turned over to the police for protection. SHERIFF ACCUSED Effort to Impeach Alabama Officer After Lynching Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS BOSTON PHYSICIANS Have Settled All Differences and Factions Are United N.M.A. CONVENTION To Be Held in "Hub City" during August Now Certain of Being a Successful One LOCAL COMMITTEE Holds Very Important Meeting, and Doctors Agree to Work Together and "Bury Hatchet" Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Boston, Mass. June 1—Harmony now reigns in the ranks of the Bay State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, and prospects for a successful meeting of the N. M. A., to be held in this city this summer, is assured. All differences were adjusted at a meeting of the local committee held last week in the apartments of Dr. Benj. E. Robinson, when physicians from many cities in New England assembled. For the first time since the formation of the local committee, strife and contention were held in abweillance, and all factional differences were adjusted. While Boston is not averse to contention everyone has ideas, and agitation fills the very atmosphere. Everybody is radical when a principle is involved. However, the public thought that the Bay State tracas was "Much ado about nothing," and was prolonged in dangerous propinquity to the coming convention. Better judgment has at last got a foothold in the affairs of the Association and both factions have called the fight off, and neither side is embarrassed by the settlement. Garland status as a member is preserved and Dr. W. C. Lane is retained at the head of the local committee. This sealing of the breach makes doubly sure the prediction for the success of the N. M. A. as it wins local committee the concentration of the experienced and informed physicians, and of the active and lar "young physicians." The intestimable service of Dr. Isaac L. Roberts, one of the best known practitioners in the State and a man of large experience in arranging for demonstrations, is now assured. Dr Samuel E. Courtney, whose acquaintance reaches from ocean to ocean, will now lend a guiding hand to the active young skippers who seemed to have captured the ship. Dr C N Garland with his unquestionable large following will contribute from his fund of energy and progressiveness. So the outlook is propitious with everything running smoothly. All the clubs have been rejuvenated by the peace pact of the doctors. The Roberts, Harrison, Cox and Lane Clubs are preparing for entertainments and when they combined with the Robinson, McCurdy, De Grasse, Wright and McKerrow clubs an overwhelming success will be assured Held in Brooklyn Labor Day—Exhibition Drill and Reception. The second annual demonstration of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows was celebrated Monday by a street parade and reception An exhibition drill took place at the Clermont Avenue Rink, Brooklyn in which the following orders took part Patrarchs No. 2 and 22 assisted by the various orders of the Household of Ruth In the evening a reception was held and was largely attended.

JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES CONVERTED Now Believes in the Education of the Negro - Spensa for Morris Brown College Among the principal speakers at the meeting held Sunday at Carnegie Lvy. the interim McKinley College, Atlanta, Ga. was John Temple Graves, who, during his address, stated that at one time he was opposed to the education of the Negro, but now is a strong advocate of Negro education. He said in part: "I have the interest of both races at heart. I believe now in the education of the Negro. I will admit that I formedly did not. I do not know of any race in history better and more wisely led than the Negro. The Negroes are to be congratulated. I was pleased to note that during the industrial battle in Georgia last week not one report concerning the strike contained an account of the Negro resorting to violence. aoe | MOWARD ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Welds Majorabie _Renquet—Ormne- tum Wend tov Untversity—Desth ot Rieheré Skums Ge Alumal Association of Howard Uni Seraty' wan held in Miner Hall tas Wednesday evening.

E Church Brooklyn. Here he found the church closed to the congregation, but he managed to meet a meeting place, got the scattered members together, revived interest in the work, met all expenses, took over twenty dollars to the annual conference and left the congregation with a bank account of $00 from Brooklyn. Port Wentworth Little Neck, H. I. where he remained for two years. While at this charge he paid off the mortgage at Port Washington. His next field of labor was Westbury, I.

Regular Correspondence of the Age Pittsburgh, Pa. June 1—Rev W. W. Brown, pastor Ehnezerer Baptist Church, is doing a splendid work in this city in a splendid way, in any city in the country, much as in any city in the country Rev Brown is not a classical scholar any more than he is an eloquent picture painting ora- PETER H. HARRIS REV. W. W BROWN tor, but he is a worker and a doer. Oceans work and a door. Several years ago he recommenced a series of lectures to "men only" at his church every Sunday evening from 4 to 5. Anxious and enthusiastic men crowded the church every Sunday to hear these lectures, but his other duties made meeting so boredsome he was forced to sit outside his church Sunday in every month during the winter season; the last lecture of the season will be delivered the first Sunday in June. Prior to leaving the city for a car in Ranokie, a early in the present month, Brown lived one of the grandest lectures ever heard here; it was on a subject that is dear to the hearts of all men. The soul-stirring plan he made for a higher moral life, in which he told his hearers their duties and responsibilities, followed by that old familiar song, "We Will Overcome Some Day." was a picture long to be remembered. Rev. Brown's private life as a God fearing minister and race-loving man is so much more than he was in the past, not only loved by his members, but he admiring friends from all denominations. Rev Brown is a self-made man in the fullest sense, who has received more education out of school than he has received inside, yet he has accomplished more in this city in seven years than a great many college-bred men accomplish in a Boston church. Rev Brown was called to fill the vacant pulpit of Ebenezer, which at that time had a membership of 300 and owed a mortgage of $14,200. The membership has been increased to 1,100, the entire mortgage has been paid, the church is paying the mortgage at Lynchburg, Va., one of whom Mr. J E East, will graduate this fall, after which he will sail for Africa. The church will pay his traveling expenses and give him a monthly salary of $50 during the whole time he will be at work in Ireland Reinhold Baptist Church is a little more than a mile away. Rev Brown owed a mortgage of $2,400 some time ago it was about to lose its property, when Ebenezer assumed the debt by paying $900, and is now paying the balance in notes when due. This church is also paying $25 yearly to the Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ. Rev Brown and last Sunday made a donation to the Rooker I Washington Hospital. It is known as the wealthiest congregation in the city enjoying a new bank account, and is ever ready to help and encourage race enterprises. Rev Brown advises his people to help alphas and healthy surrogates suits of this teaching are seen all over the city. Members of his congregation are living in well built houses in prominent streets in all directions. The old time religious zeal that was so characteristic of our parents in their church was in bygone days is witnessed at Ebenezer as at no other church in the city. The May Fair of Ehenezer commenced Monday, May 24, and closed June 1. This is one of the grandest affairs of the season, $2,000 being missed last year. This week, he will be building a new church Sunday, June 6. will be a memorable day at Ehenezer. Anniversary exercises of the pastor's seven year' service will be held. Dr W. H. Moose, of Washington, D.C. will preach the anniversary service. Dr. W. H. Moose, of Washington, D.C. will preach the anniversary service. Veronica's cringing interview in which he is quoted as having expressed much sorrow that he was the cause of five Southern Congressmen leaving the dining-room at the House Office Building, is being that had he known his eating there would have created any controversy, he would not have done so is generally condemned There are many women in Pittsburgh engaged in uplifting our people, but some perhaps have done more in the same length of time and under like circumstances than the organization of which Mr. Murray is most familiar with over four years ago this body of kind-hearted Christian women started out with nothing but energy and a strong desire to help our working girls. Today they have a nice two-story frame building surrounded by a beautiful lawn and situated in one of the most quiet residential sections of our city. Much more important, for the success of this movement, she is a woman of strong Christian character as well as of rare education. tional training; she also has the gift of distinction of being the only woman in the State who has personally appeared before the Legislature of this State and made a plea for her cause. To say her efforts have been crowned with success would be describing it in a mild degree. The home has received from the State 803.843 as payment for 887.77 and the other expenses are promptly paid when due. Mrs. Melford is making a plea for greater help. The Ladies' Social Club of Avery Mission met as usual in the lecture room of the church, Mrs. Those. Johnson preached a sermon on the occasion of the hour Mrs. L. T.

TAFT AT HAMPTON. This institution here is the purported repayment of a debt only partial to a race. The people of the United States are eternally indebted. They brought that race into this country against its will. They first put it in bondage and then they kept it in the ignorance that that race under the system then in vogue. Then they freed it and put upon it the response of obligation followed that chain of facts with reference to the people who are responible. The obligation would be clearer or rather the method of its discharge would be easier were it not that throws generally upon the States the burden of education and leaves to the general government only certain limits of jurisdiction with respect to the people. This was the candid, courageous statement of President Laft at Howard University last Wednesday where he was commencement orator and gave out the degrees to the graduates. This, we dare to say, was the frankest and fullest admission of America's debt to the Negro ever made by a President of the United States. That obligation heretofore has never been fully conceived nor properly fulfilled. Two hundred and fifty years of the Negro's life and development were stolen from him. The labor of slavery furnished no small part of the foundation of America's present industrial position. Yet to-day the thin shield of States' rights permits the semi-hostile ex-slave States to perpetuate their political and industrial suppression of the Negro It is America's duty to right this continued wrong against the Negro. It is the duty of the American government through its people, to educate the Negro, to protect the Negro, to help the Negro that he may help himself to be as other men in this Republic. The Negro child should be guaranteed by America the same industrial and civil opportunity as the white child President Taft has taken high, if indeed not new ground upon the Negro In language like Abraham Lincoln, he has plainly set forth the task of America as it relates to her Negro citizens The accomplishment of that task is the urgent and bounden duty of the American people and their government MEANING OF MEMORIAL DAY. Memorial day, second only in importance as a secular holiday to July 4, has come and gone. If July 4 is the birthday of American independence, May in is the birthday of American Freedom for freedom for America, freedom for the Negro race Memorial day marked another milestone in the race's rise from slavery It also marked the passing of another year of those who gained for the race that freedom In thin and broken lines, in mental and physical dote, beneath the well-deserved plaudits of the younger gengration, they have almost passed from the scene of action They have played well their part; they have brought the race to the progress and prosperity of its present hour But new hands must take up that progress and must continue that prosperity That is the part which the younger generation must play The duty of the passing generation was both destructive and constructive The duty of the coming generation is constructive. Better trained, with greater freedom to do and work, it should at least equal the stride covered by the fathers If the passing generation halved its illiteracy, the coming generation should obliterate illiteracy If the older generation gathered more than five hundred millions of dollars in wealth for the race, the coming generation should make itself a real and recognized factor in the American marts of trade and finance. While it, too, must preserve intact the rights of the race, especially does it devolve upon the younger generation to now girl on the shield of its duties Memorial day paid fitting tribute to the passing generation. Memorial day blew a dust that the younger generation of Negroes to continue the process of the race upward ```markdown ``` FRIENDSHIP OF H. H. ROGERS. In the death of H H Rogers, the second great magnate in control and in the construction of the Standard Oil Company, the Negro race loses a great though an unknown friend. The extent of his benefaction to Negro uplift and education may never be known, but through Dr Booker T Washington it has just become known that for the last fifteen years at least, he had given anonymously but freely and largely. At the time of his death he was helping at least sixty-five colored institutions scattered throughout the Southland. An even clearer idea of his friendship from the Negro may be gained from the remarkable statement of Dr. Washington. "It seems to me that, outside of the immediate members of my family, I know the late Henry H Rogers during the last fifteen years as well as I could know any one." His was not the love born of a desire for popular and press acclaim. But it was that intensely practical and human love of a man who by ceaseless toil had worked himself from the bottom rung of the ladder. Therein lay the source of his friendship in the hard struggles of the rising Negro. The rise from poverty and obscurity to riches and affluence of Henry H Rogers should be an inspiring example to every Negro youth. Though practical and commercial he quietly demonstrated the broadest interest in the uphill of humanity every where. Such he was displaying at his death in arranging a trip for Dr Washington among the Negroes along the line of his new Virginia railway. Behind the stern and masterful features of the oil king, there beat a heart with full sympathy and confidence in the Negro. The entire Negro race regrets the passing of Henry Huddleston Rogers THE WAVE OF LYNCHING In the last two months, the South has passed into the throes of a veritable wave of lynching. In almost every State and for almost every offence against the laws of the land and the unwritten laws of the Southland, black men and white men have been the victims of the cowardly mob. The killing of the four rich cattle men in Oklahoma and the very recent murder by the mob of a well-to-do white citizen in the Texas jail reveal how general and powerful the lynching habit is becoming in the South. Negroes, too, with a frequency unknown for several years have met this cruel and barbaric fate. Their death, however, adds nothing unusual to the situation. Hard and bitter as it may seem it is the lynching of white men by white men which furnishes the relief to the situation. This if anything can, will awaken the South and the country to the horror of the body of death which is clinging around the neck of the Southland. Through this very habit of personal vengeance and of mob law, the South is becoming mired deeper each day in the slough of despond. A depraved generation is each day making all the surer that the next and the next generation of Southern whites will be after its kind. The isolated cases of the indictment by the Supreme court of Sheriff Shupp of Chattanooga for contempt and the refusal of bail to six lynchers of a Negro in Tyler, Texas, furnish two rays of light on an otherwise black and hopeless situation. The day must not be far distant when drastic measures must be attempted. Not only for the sake of its good name, but for the sake of liberty, but for the sake of the millions yet unborn the country must realize that the South cannot be left to its own folly. The Supreme court indictment will doubtless have a splendid moral effect on Southern sheriff. That the precedent of Federal protection here established may end in the enforcement of law by the Southern guardians of the law is decisively to be hoped. THE GEORGIA COMPROMISE The compromise under Federal pressure of the critical firemen's strike on the Georgia railroad is cause for much general satisfaction. The situation becoming more tense every day was rapidly approaching a climax. Public sentiment among the cracker whites was becoming inflamed to the point where the employment of Negro firemen in the future was problematical under any circumstances. Interference by the Federal government would have meant the opening of the old sectional wound to a degree not approached since the days of Reconstruction. The progress of friendly relations between the races in the South would have been retarded many years. From the standpoint, therefore of the larger and present good, the compromise of the situation is especially beneficial to the Negro race. Better still is the fact that the men will return to work under the conditions existing at the time the strike began until the final adjustment is made. It is to be hoped that this tentative proposal will obtain in the final settlement. The Federal government as the directing party to the compromise cannot compromise on the fundamental rights of the Negro in the matter. Nothing short of the Negro's right to work and his employment on Southern railroads are at stake. If it be agreed, with the Federal government consenting that negro will be employed in the terminals and as senior firemen, it means the gradual elimination of the Negro on the Georgia road. It means the eventual elimination of the Negro from every railroad in the South. It would mean industrial discouragement to the Negro. Any other settlement than the recognition of the Negro's right to work on the railroad and the railroad's right to employ Negros, would be as temporary as it would be unjust. The tyrannous demands of the Union and its diabolical walking delegate must be met by the firm stand of the railroad and the government. The best interests of the South and the Negro are involved. DANCING IN THE SHADOW. DANCING IN THE SHADOW. Last Monday afternoon hundreds of happy Negro youth danced all afternoon at one of New York's great dance halls. Since the end of Lent, these same hundreds of happy youth have danced regularly each week at one or more of New York's great dance halls. During this period these educated young colored men and women have not only made dancing their chief diversion but their chief business. They have spent their earnings, they have expended their vitality at the dances. This excess of dancing has become a chromalady with the Negro youth of New York, we very much fear. For example, there are numberless organizations of young colored men in Manhattan and Brooklyn bound firmly together and for what?-pleasure! We know of no organization of young colored men bound together for business Today at this dawn of another era of industrial prosperity, opportunity is knocking loudly at the door of every ambitious man. The call is for brams, the call is for money, the call is for organization and combination. The ability of the Negro to compete commercially, to compete industrially is being put to the test. At this hour as never before the Negro race under the stress of competition and the hostility of prejudice is in the shadow of the valley of industrial death. Yet here is the young colored race dancing, spending its life and hundreds of thousands of dollars dancing in the shadow Here are our young colored men at such a time as this profaning the busy hours of the day with dancing—with frivolity. They have placed the emphasis in the wrong place. The ability to dance, social presence, nice clothes will not save the race in the struggle. Mental, moral and material strength are the only passports to an equal American manhood. This tremendous amount of money now given the white race, this energy row devoted to pleasure can and must be turned into industrial enterprises, into actual racial advance. We ask thoughtful young colored men and women to face the facts of the situation. We ask them to take life more seriously. We ask them to lay hold of the substance of life and to get the race out of the shadow. O EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS It looks very much to us as if the white firemen have got the worst of it in the temporary compromise of the Georgia railroad strike for they have gone back to work with the Negroes under the same conditions as obtained before the strike The appointment of Prof W V Tunnell to the Washington school board is being hailed with general satisfaction. It is believed that he is just the man to clear the Washington school system of its old rubbish and underground methods. --- President Laft as commencement orator at Hampton Institute gave out the degrees to the graduates. Now there are many colleges whose students affect to look down on Howard but we venture to say there are few college graduates who would not gladly have been Howard graduates of the class of 1909. The methods of Judge Simpson in Tyler, Texas, in refusing bail to six lynchers of a Negro are being denounced generally in that section as despotic and monarchical. The papers forget both that Judge Simpson is dealing with Texans and that Texas is the empire state of the South Senior Del Gado the Negro president of the Cuban senate and appointed president of the national lottery by President Gonçez raised strong objections in the current number of La Discussion to the unfair division of the spoils. Talk about the scruples of Negro politicians, who ever heard of another head of a legalized graft trust insisting upon legitimate division of the spoils? Sheriff Shupp of Chattanooga leavings his home with his five fellow conspirators was seen off by 2,500 white and 200 Negroes. Thinking the Negroes might create a scene they were dispersed but the authorities didn't know the Negroes were there out of mere curiosity to see what sort of a weak vessel the Sheriff was who would dare to laugh in the face of Uncle Sam. involved by the report in the Washington Herald of the story which Taft told at Hampton concerning the fact that Negroes now in many parts of the South virtually support many white people. On the arrival of the Italians in South Carolina, as Taft tells the story, the old Negro said, 'Lord knows we are supporting enough white people already' and not "we're got ernough white men to work for already" as the paper garbled it. South Bridgeland Polley Inasmuch as the Negro constitutes the bulk of the South's laboring population, to take away from him he right to labor—"wide by side with white men," when necessary—would place the heaviest possible handicap upon the South itself, for It would not only have a surplus of title Negroes content with war security and sacrifice in all industrial pursuits. Any other policy . . . would be nothing short of suicidal.—The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. Mines Matter. It appears to be a matter of minor importance, not worth bothering about, that the malls of the United States are obstructed and actually held up in one of the richest States of the Union — Exchange Blow at Prosperity The strike of the firemen, therefore, is not simply an act to curtail the industrial freedom of the Negro, 44 is a direct blow at the economic prosperity of the South. It expresses the newly developed sentiment of the population along the line of the Georgina Railroad, who have mobbed the Negro employee of the company. This sentiment is reflected, too, in Smith's rebellion out troops to guard the railroad's property and traffic and to protect the lives of its employees. Owing to the inefficiency of the Negroes in the South it suffers from a universal labor famine. The paucity system and the Southern treatment of foreign immigrants on a plane with Negroes discharged white there. Now the State of Georgia declares, in effect, that wherever Negroes rise sufficiently to compete with white laborers they shall be thrust back to former forms of cloth and degenerate, confirming their unstead of a means of prosperous spirit. The New York Times Negro's Right to Work The strike which has tied up the Georgia Railroad is the ordinary struggle between a labor union and an employing corporation. It involves a denial of the right to strike, a demand to be paid and may invite a considerable race war fare. Indeed, Gov. Smith has refused to call out the militia on the ground that bloodshed would follow such a course, for thousands of armed farmers have taken to the streets in contempt. If the strike succeeds, Negroes will be driven out of like employment upon other Southern railroads. An ugly issue is thus raised, not in the South alone and not for the first time. The Negroes are not Negroes to farm labor and to work as mule drivers, rostabout, hotel waiters, sleeping car porters and whitewashers, except where they can as teachers, preachers and professional men serve their own needs. They are even admitted as workers in cotton mills. Such exclusion is regrettable. The Negron can only work out his own salvation, with which is bound up the industrial age. He is bound up the industrial age. He is bound up the industrial age. In any work that he is fitted to do. Even in the old slave days the Negron gained often a good trade education and earned high wages. He must have a mason or a painter. There are many places where he cannot now comfortably pursue such trades. The attempt to Federal Government to ease the difficulty through Commissioner Neill is justified by the gravity of the situation. There are many friends of the race who would say that for the prospect industrial freedom is even more important than Negroism in national freedom. The New York World. Self-Help Series The Committee of Twelve for the Advancement of the Interests of the Negro Race, whose secretary is Professor Hugh Race, chose Chayne Bumpel, a publishing author of excellent series of papers on Self-Help among Negroes.

Many thousands of the papers have been circulated. They ought to be a part of the library of every well informed Negro. GEORGIA AND IOWA. Neither Negro Nor Poor) Form This Excuse for Georgia, ants "constitution." To anyone who is willing to look beyond the borders of Georgia in order to be intelligently patriotic and intellectually critical in regard to conditions in both area and population, differing from Georgia's educational status and institutional development with that of Iowa becomes very pungent with suggestion. The two States are very comparable in both area and population, differing from Georgia in the number of families, and less than 15,000 in population. Yet Iowa which was admitted as a State sixty years after Georgia has so far outstretched her in wealth that in 1900 the true per capita wealth of each state was twice that of Georgia $1,925, against $41 for Georgia. Back of this list several causes. One of these the greater inherent abilities of the Anglo-Saxon population must be granted at once. We must also be struck however, with the far greater emphasis placed in the first territorial governor of England, the organized school system even when there were few children in the State and no funds whatever to maintain the schools. These schools as they developed, were far better attended than Georgia, and were kept for a longer term. Moreover they were better equipped and better maintained. The investments in Georgia were valued at $2,200,000 but for that same year those of Iowa were valued at over $15,000,000. The results of this greater educational development in Iowa are shown in a fair greater earning power on the part of her family than on the part of illiteracy. In 1900 Iowa had but 2.3 per cent illiteracy among all her population 10 years old or over. Georgia had 30 per cent or about 15 times as much illiteracy as Iowa. In 1900 Iowa had 1.2 per cent as against Georgia. 19 years old or over. Georgia had 30 per cent illiteracy among the illiterate in her children 19 to 14 years old was in 1900 but 0.3 per cent, as against the shameful 22.7 per cent of Georgia. We cannot urge poverty as our excuse locates per capita wealth was but a third of illiteracy, and we began laying greater stress on education. Nor can we make the Negro a permanent excuse, partly because the forty years that have elapsed since slavery are entirely inadequate to show how far the Negro is capable of working and creating wealth though during the past twenty five years. Negro property in Georgia has increased from $7,000,000 to $20,000,000—partly, too, because we must as a State face the fact that the million Negroes in Georgia are an absolutely necessary factor in our industrial life, and an equally necessary factor in economic and educational advancement—The Atlanta Conflation This is their day!

Class legislation is tarnish, and a state that makes a law which discriminates against a citizen or citizens is bordering on despair. According to one of the South's most conspicuous Senators, the revised grand father constitutions are under threat to present the Negro from a position of power. Virtified constitutions will settle the Negro problem in the South he is sadly mistaken. The Providence Advance The Houston School Board, at the suggestion of Superintendent P W Horn, has named the new school just recently erected in honor of the lamented C W Horn, who was a member of the family of the Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College, and one who had dedicated his efforts and all the best years of his life to the inspiring and rising cultured youth of Texas.

If Mr Sickela will be triumphant and good will he will be triumphantly elected. The Indianapolis World. The election of last Tuesday was of national along the lines of political thought and shows the effect of an active campaign in causing the voters to take an interest in their community's politics by voting. This an unjust shows the need for a more effective and an appreciation of the ballot as the safeguard in choosing public officials. The election changed the personnel of the board of commissioners somewhat, still it is the opinion of the Times that law and order will continue to prevent the commission and the incoming officers as any previous ones. The Gayston City Times For several years the burial assumptions for our people in Kansas City have been little less than shameful. Yet the city has been able to gently self-respecting members of the race have for the most part painfully but silently endured the condition, ever hoping for relief at the earliest possible moment. Plainly pleurable treatment they receive at white burial grounds a few Negro business and professional men have endorsed to provide relief by organizing a burial play. This is a vital part of the purchase and improvement of a tract of ground suitable for such purpose. The Qansas City Mirror. The fight which began two years ago in favor of better pay for city teachers ended Monday night as a victory for the teachers who are now to resource for pay increases. During the fight we advised the colored teachers to stay in the back ground and let the white people fight it out among themselves and victory would it not happen. We also in clines the colored teachers also. While it means an additional expenditure of $1,000 a year yet it is not a waste of money, as the teachers will teach a vacation school of two months' duration. The Bluff City, Memphis News.

If the correspondent to THE New York Age from Liberia is to be believed the colored people in that Republic are lagging and droning behind, possessing abundant fertile fields, but too ignorant and unaware that more progress should be made from the fact that Liberia is greatly assimilated with the progress of Europe and America.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AQUA Please permit me through the columns of T. S. Ack. I will state the reasons the New York Aqua Department in Boston. The idea set forth here is the first fixed purpose of the self respecting and progressive element of Boston's colored people. Recently the writer and several others had occasion to speak of this matter in a public meeting in Boston, and this biased statement appeared in a Boston Negro weekly "Colored People Trying to Get White People to Jim-Crow Them. Only, One Lonely Person Favors them. Only one person in ordert it, why are us? Answer: The truth is, four fifths of the colored people invented a Y M C A of their own, that a better influence may be thrown around our young men and that their racial identity may be purified. The white Y M C A Boston street is located in an exclusive white, aristocratic community and it does not exert the necessary influence over the Negro. Boston M. course, colored people are tolerated in this institution, or in the Negro's make up, that stands as a barrier between them. At any rate, not two per cent of the colored young men of Boston take the advantage of this Y M C. Ninety-five of the colored people of Boston come from the South, and there prejudice exists in its most cruel form. There racial differences and unjust discrimination are the paramount law. In all public places these signs are the Negroes Not Allowed. In such an unjust society, in such concrete racial distinction enforced the Negro by circumstance over which he has no control is forced into a state of subordination and inferiority so far as rights and privileges are concerned. This custom is a second nature of Negroes who go to work in the Negroes be he white or black he carries this racial distinction with him. Now when the Negro comes from the South to the North he is naturally tired and has a well founded aversion to mingling and co-mingling with white people. No fair-minded person would expect him in such a situation. In the chilly waves of northern prejudice with the hope of losing his racial distinction. In fact the white people want the Negro to be a man and do something for himself. The white man will tolerate a few Negroes, but he will not stand for them. Many was so recently at rested by his prejudice that the Negro members of white churches Here in Boston we have colored secret societies, colored churches colored news papers. Are all these "Jim Crows?" If not why should a Y M C A be considered such? If not wish to demand some place for our young men to meet their friends, and to spend their leisure time other than barrooms, pool rooms and the club room. Because in these places the Sermon on the Mount is not taught, nor is the Golden rule practiced in our community, nor is a Y M C A in our own locality. For them, the young men themselves want it the most progressive doctors and business men are in favor of it and all the leading ministers of Boston are behind this movement. With this tremendous application the very things they claim. The colored people of Boston in a consciousness of their needs in the concrete application of duds have thrown off this all-guttton fear of "Jim Crowism and are doing something for their selves.

Meetings were held in churches, theaters, opera houses, hospitals, and everywhere crowds of both white and black alike came out to see and hear, city museums introduced him, and city admirers sat in platform. Even the mayor of Charleston, belonging to one of the oldest and most atlantic families of the South, welcomed him in an elegant speech and in every place the party casted their were respectful and interested gatherings. Though the early people there was not a single unpleasant act or word to mar its complete success. Two points are impressed by this tour. One is the value of work like that of Tuskegee Institute to the Negro race. Hooker Washington was born a slave, Hooker Washington was a slave advantage of any kind above Negro industry. By the sheer force of his character, industry and genius for organization, he has become the real leader of his people in almost everything that makes for their with condition. Instead of finding fault with him, he has gone to work to make the most and best of things as they are, and has succeeded in doing more for his people than any other man since Abraham Lincoln. Starting at Tuskegee with almost no knowledge from the people around him, he has taken up an institution of which Tuskegee and the whole South may well be proud. He has taken this trip through South Carolina and other parts of the South with his helpers to show the Negroes of these countries that he can be done if they are willing to do it. Arletocraca, Negros' Friend The second point is on the difference between genuine aristocracy and its initiation. People who are aware in their social position seldom think much about it, and are not afraid to do kindnesses who are and for others less happily situated in the lives of the classes of society. Purvatives and initiation are always afraid of doing something that will lessen their "gentility" in the sight of other people. South Carolina was one of the most aristocratic of the Southern states, its best people have never been so afraid of being involved in the lives of many of those of less assured position. They have never been afraid of "social equality" because they happened to sit in the same car or in the same public meetings with Negroes. Their homes and businesses were not built on course but since the day when a Negro saved old Saint Michael's Church they have always been ready to honor Negro bravery and faithfulness to duty. Tillman and his lower crowd ran as they would, carrying elections by apples to the classes to be held in the best institute not be with him. Booker Washington and other wise Negro leaders have found that their really best and most helpful friends come from the South. They are not afraid of their own position and who know the real needs and feelings of the Negroes among them far better than their best intentioned Northwestern and his party may fairly be said to have 'captured South Carolina,' in the sense of miking friends for themselves and work among the best people anywhere in the west—The St. Joseph News and Press. Japanese Condemn Georgiana He who claims advancement, cultivation and civilization should display such. Otherwise he is a hypocrite and, in fact, one who claims a claim worthless unless he is subject to certain elements in America who are paradoxical and backward when judged by these standards. We understand that justice is the principle of justice. Justice is requisite of all races and nations before the Supreme Heing which created us, and should be so before the law which men make. This law is the law which one who must displease or disbelieve We all know that this great country is one of the foremost nations on earth, and the people therein are most朵朵生聚, a freedom loving and enthusiastic claimant. We all know that the people there should have no negative people if they are what they claim them to. Yet we bear that a serious cause is going on in the state of Georgia and one great railroad lion is simply up to it. We have a very simple and a very childish one, but it almost disheartens us the real civilized Americans. The strikes on the Georgia Railroad want the Negro taken away from the jobs which the latter have done, and the Negro is short they want to rob the Negroes of their jobs. Which are the more humans and civilized the Negroes or those white men who disregard the rights of Negroes with other humans to work and live? N.Y. Japanese a commercial Weekly.

The New York Sun In the Hands of the Race, Itself," Says President Taft At the Fortieth Commencement Exercises of Howard University -White American Owes Debt to Negro Special Session Washington D.C. May 29 - In the speech the graduates of Howard University received last week at the fortieth commencement address of the University, President Larry said that he believed that education was necessary for the development of the Nation, that he recognized the what is necessary for the recognition of the Nation, and that no time has been so momentous for the race as present present in full The President and young ladies and gentlemen of the graduating class I am a good many engagements, and before the engagements are to be met and the work is to be done by such a mellifluous and formal gentleman as your president, and then I am assigned until I pick up lignation paper and find myself admired as one of the chief attractions at some meeting where I don't feel myself at all entitled to figure in that capacity. When your president came to me and asked me to come and be invited to celebrate the birth of the corner stone of a new building here given by Mr. Carnegie, and that friend really there would be commencement exercises. I am a fairly good hand at a trovel and I thought possibly I might engage in the work being involved in the work. But I find it to be otherwise. Nevertheless I am glad to seize the opportunities of looking into your faces you young men and women who are about to go out into the world and meet the obstacles which are before you and to everyone there in my life. I am glad to be able to be help to satisfy to you my profound gratitude in your careers and my home that they all may be successful. Partial repayment or debt. This university is primarily partial to a race to which a government and the people of the United States are eternally indebted. They brought that race into this country against its will. They planted it here irrimenally. They first put it in bond with the land and then landage assumed to make access, under the system then in vogue. Then they freed it and put upon it the responsibilities of citizenship. Now some sort of obligation follows that chain of facts with reference to the people who have been freed. The obligation would be clearer or, rather, the method of its discharge would be lesser. It was not for our constituted system which throws generally upon the states the burden of education and leaves to the general government only the remediation with respect to people. I am far from saying—and I wish to in this caveat in advance, in order to be met by an argument which has right, but has not weight when improperly used. I think that if they would be better off if they all a university education. I think they would be in a very bad way if they had cause they would not know how to use it and they would not find means of use of it. I think that all were educated as university men. The great body of the colored race as the great body of the white race must depend on their household upon their manual in education which requires less education than that which is conferred by a university and that of education is too widely extended the effect of it is to put a lot of men off who do not find occupations which are unhappy and really not fit for the work which is before them. Opportunity for Leaders. On the other hand that admission is far from a discussion that it is not necessary for the success of the colored race that there be among them leaders of that that are fitted by university education for that leadership. The opportunity that there is for educated colored men to and their race in the struggle before them for economic and the maintenance of themselves is worth the investment in the opportunity the advantage that there is for university men among colored men to assist in that movement I say is very great indeed. Through the South one of the things that is essential is the cultivation of greater sanitation and greater attention to the laws of hygiene among the colored people that need in the South is a great many more physicians of their own color and race to tell them how to live. The benefit that teachers educated here do to their race goes without saying. Of course the basis of the education of the colored people is in the primary schools and in the industrial schools—wheels framed after Hampton and Tupelo. In these schools must be introduced to those from such university institutions as the University of Virginia, using the material for the facilities of those smaller, not smaller, but less ambitious schools that such an institution as this shall have its chief function. inadequate Endowments. I say these things with a good deal of empathy because I know there are many displease the wisdom of large contri- butions, universities of the colored these like the University of Chicago, much perplexed with the argument to know whether or not it was proper. But what is the fact? There are four uni- ties in this country beside Howard Burke, accented to the colored race These are Languages and they have not taken together, endowment that exceeds $250,000 when you consider that there are many Negroes in this country, we are not unjustly inadequate even for the education of the leaders those and others. or actually for the enlargement of the Congress and the people of the United States shall understand the useful that it plays in institution and institutions that it plays in uplifting and onward progress of the people. I am delighted to think because I been in the South a good deal of the cases have studied some of the con issues that they are getting better and better for the agrogram in certain respects to the world, but that really affects the conditions of those who live in all the growing communities of the South. I mean where there is a lack of a modern and a touch of the progress and the dilution—the men of program—that we can appreciate the advantage of having a like the colored men there. They are anxious that they have an industrial education. They are anxious that they should make their way in the world and show their usefulness in the community. "The truth is that the greatest hope that the Negro has, because he lives chiefly in the South, is the friendship and the sympathetic interest of the white man with whom he lives. I know it is not the habit to think so, but it is growing, and one of the things that misleads us most is the desperate. The extreme statements of white men from the South on the subject, but really they don't mean what they say to the Negro that want to be taken literally. They have a theory that it may give them sometimes a little boost politically in extremes and superlatives, but I have heard expression from leading Negroes in various cities that confirm my judgment that the situation is growing better and the Negro hearing the New Walker, that Negro is behind and preached in Spurgeon's pulpit, and was worthy to preach in that pulpit, express his friendship for the white people of Augusta, where I spent five or six weeks, and express his view of the proposition that the Negro race should be moved to some other than this. He said that they were not a grita until they did so to glau. That is the same sentiment I found in Charlote and in Petersburg. "The progress of the race is continuing itself with great clearness to me at least in making itself a useful part of the community where it is so that it shall not only awaken an altruistic spirit or a sense of responsibility, but deal better to tie it to, shall awaken the economic spirit of those with whom you live and who value your services as members of the community and know how much you add to its success by being there and being valuable members of that community in accumulation, in your proxies and in your community that are made in a successful community of Negroes in the South Future in the Negro's Hands "It seems to me that the future is in the hands of the race itself." said Mr. Taft, in conclusion "I do not mean to say that cruelties are not to exist in the futuring and injustices, and a great many reasons why complaints should be made against the inhumanity of man, but I do mean to say that there never has been a time in the history of the Negro race when the future offered such a basis for your slaves and an enemy for the belief that you have it in your hands to make that success as it is to day. Everything that I can do in the executive in the way of helping along this university I expect to do. I expect to do it because I believe it is a debt of the people of the United States it is an obligation of the government of the United States, and it is more constitutionally applied to that belief than to that of the institution of one of the great problems that God put upon the people of the United States." 11. Paul Ming St Paul, MN June 11 It is very important that young men desiring work on the various railroads running out of St Paul should be warned of the very few chances of getting work if they come to St Paul this summer. A great many men are here looking for work and are in need of an employment. Men are compelled to take student trips and inexperienced men are sometimes given president over experienced men. One man was discharged after being employed about two weeks. He put his case in the hands of a lawyer and collected for the full time. Men are now compelled to sign a contract releasing the company of all liability. Joseph M Vanglin died very sadly at St Paul on Romie street, May 25th. On Tuesday evening, May 25, the Rowe Culture Club gave their third annual exhibition at Tachida's Hall. The club was addressed by Hon F. L. M. McGhee and Rev A H Leafland.

The unusual spectacle of a large manufacturing plant closing down a most important department during a busy season because of the death of a tautiful Negro employee was witnessed here last week when the veneer manufacturing department of the large factory of B (C. Jarrell & (c., shut down at dinner at the request of about a hundred Negro employees. The company that they attend the funeral services of U.S. John Davis, an old time Negro and ex slave, who died at his home here. The old Negro had worked at this plant for nearly twenty years and was thoroughly respected by all who knew him. What Hinders the Negro? Take our business side. Is there any one who would begin to contend that we haven't really owned our land? Is there any reason why that we haven't really companies owning large tracts of land, cutting them up into lots, building houses thereon, renting and sell- The tool we offer is obligate either by law or sentiment prevent or hinder us? Not at all. What is there that prevents us from having large shoe stores and dry goods houses, large grocery houses, both retail and wholesale, banks and large industrial and high schools where they are so much needed in other words, what the great needs and consumption of the eight million Negroes scattered throughout the South? Is there any reason why we should not do it? And if we were living up to our highest opportunities if we were thoroughly organized along business lines, if we could get into our souls the proper race pride, could we not measure up to these opportunities? Then we would be thoroughly organized along business lines, and accome everybody as being our shemes, when we are doing so little for ourselves? -The Macon Dpatch Following is a report of the 98th New York Annual Conference of the U.

CASH OR CREDIT FRANK BONNATES Music and the Stage 10 THEATRICAL COMMENT HIGH tribute was paid to the late Ernest Hogan by the white and colored citizens of Bowling Green, Ky, last week, and according to newspaper and other reports it has been many a day since the people of the picturesque little Kentucky town have shown such universal interest and respect for a fellow townman. The people of Bowling Green, Ky, greatly admired Ernest Hogan, and did everything at his death to prove that he was regarded as one of the town's distinguished citizens. When the funeral train approached Bowling Green the engineer, according to instructions, announced the arrival of all that remained of the town's great gift to the world by the blowing of a whistle. A large crowd was at the station, and the cortex proceeded slowly to the Crowdus home. Memorial services were held over the remains from the Northern Methodist Church. On the way to the church a band preceded the hearse, playing a funeral dirge. Many were unable to secure admission After the memorial services a long line of carriages and many citizens afoot followed the body to Mt. Moriah Cemetery, where the remains of the noted "Unbleached American" were laid to rest. A Critic on the "Sunny South Act." Complimentary to the "Sunny South" act, now playing on the coast, the writer is reproducing a criticism written by the dramatic critic of the San Francisco Call, evidently one of conscious and unconscious prejudices on the color question, and yet he has been compelled to give the colored performers credit for their good work. We commend the article to other colored acts as a piece of good and instructive reading. It is proof that when we "deliver the goods" we can make the white fellow citizen overlook his prejudices—for a time, at least. "I have sat for five minutes trying to get another start on this story; but there's only one. It's about the Orpheum show which opened yesterday afternoon. In view of prejudices which will obtain in certain quarters one hesitates to say that 'Sunny South' is the hit of the bill. But it must be said. It is. I could not count the number of Afric's sons and daughters who participated in the sketch. They moved about too fast; for 'Sunny South' is a singing and dancing sketch provided by an ebonized company. "Not that they are black. Some of them approach the color line closely, but their original progenitors were black, you may very well believe, and these later day bleached brunettes retain that animation which tradition from beyond the Mason and Dixon line tells us is characteristic of the Negro when he isn't working. But these do work. They throw themselves into their dances with a frezy which makes the men mere zigzag streaks and the girls a whirring flutter of white upheld uncertainly on two (each) black and gyrating legs. For the rest there were gleaming teeth and broad grins, and a splendid enjoyment in their own anties, in the pleasure of which the audience more than joined and then yelled for more 'Vaudeville Vitality' should be the title of the act. I do not see how they do it twice a day and live." Trying to Create Prejudice Abroad. From time to time we receive word from Europe that some certain colored performer or performers are instilling the seed of race prejudice in the minds of Europeans by their conduct. While this is probably true, a recent report from Paris tends to show that the American white is doing his share towards accomplishing that end—at least trying to. Walter Kelly, known on the stage as the "Vergnia Judge," is on foreign shores at it again. Last year he wrote an article for an English publication in which he attacked the political rights of the Negro and questioned the remarkable advancement the race has made in America in the last forty years. He was answered by Coleridge Taylor, the great Negro composer of England, and the Kells article did not have the desired effect. Long ago reaching the conclusion that he is able to gain considerable morality by making radical and untrue statements on the Negro question, Kelly has decided to "out-Tillmanize Tillman." His latest method of seeking to create an anti-Negro sentiment in Europe is by going into cafes where Negroes frequent and starting fights, thereby demonstrating to the proprietors that the Negro is not a fit person to be permitted to enter the public places of Europe. The latest escapade of Kelly's is told as follows: Jimmy Wright, firefighter McFartland, the bicyclist, and Walter Kelly, originally of County Mayo, but of fame on the American vaudeville stage as "The Virginia Judge," gave a fine exhibition a few nights ago of "la boxe," in which Frenchmen are deeply interested now Britt, McFarland and Kelly were at the "Rat Mort," a notorious all-night restaurant in the Montmartre district, in which they have infamable fights, all provoked by the presence of a pretty woman and a bottle of champagne. The three men—the vaudeville actor, the bicyclist and the fighter—were having a late supper. With them was an American actress playing here Into the restaurant walked an African wearing SAMSON MEMBERS OF CAST WHICH RECENTLY GAVE A CREDITABLE PRESENTATION OF "SHE STROPS TO CONQUER." IN WASHINGTON, D. C. WRITTED BY LESTER A. WALTON evening clothes and modest jewels—everything correct but his complexion in the opinion of the Americans at a table near. As everybody knows, the French draw no color line. The black man's demeanor did not please McFarland, and still less when the African raised his glass to the American actress. When the black man started for his taxcab McFarland followed him. "It don't go!" cried McFarland—and smash! he knocked the African down. "That's your place!" Confusion followed. A dozen waiters rushed at the lanky McFarland, who helped to win the last six-day bicycle race in New York. The waiters did not know chunky Jimmy Britt, who was at them in a second, smashing right and left. Kelly, who is husky, too, also took a hand, and the three fought their way out, leaving the waiters and some of those at supper very much the worse for wear. The American actress rejoined her champions, remarking "This sort of thing makes me home-sick." MEMBERS OF CAST WHICH REGENTLY ALMOST. I can faintly see him now, As he bursts onto the stage; I can almost see him bow I must strike the play. I hear again in song. He sang so loud and strong: From his heart he sang it seemed: "Oh Say, Wouldn't It Be a Dream". I can almost see him now, Entring the golden gate; Looking forth from blissful eyes Near the splendor of the skies, Listen to the maidna. Walking ever the golden rain. Thus his eyes eternal gleam: "Oh Say, Wouldn't That Be a Dream". I am conscious of his look. Beaming both on you and me, I can faintly hear him say From earth's trouble I am free; Sorrow and dull are past I am close to and at inst. I am close by Father's side. In his mansion yond the skies.

The "Chocolate Drops" are enjoying success at the Wigwam, San Francisco, Cal. This afternoon the "Red Moon" baseball team will play the Elks at Bronx Oval. This is the second week of the "Sunny South" not at the Orpheum Theatre, San Francisco. Bert Williams is headliner of the Fifth Avenue Theatre this week and is the 448. The "Red Moon" Company closed its successful run at the Majestic Theatre last Saturday evening. This is the second week of the Octocon Burlesque Company at the Monumental Theatre Baltimore, Md. J A English hoop roller, and "Queen Dora," fire dancer, are at the Princess Theatre, St John, Canada. Business must be good for the colored performer, as the sign "Performer Wanted" can be seen on every hand. Phillip Gilles, a friend of Ernest Hogan, and who went to England with the "Sunny South" act over a year ago, is / attracting attention abroad with his grotesque dancing. Laura Moss, formerly soloist with the "Rufus Rastus" Company, is visiting friends in Buffalo, and is stopping at No. 9 Mark street. Brown and Nevarro have finished their vaudeville engagements for the season. The act has been working steadily since last September. On Decoration Day the park season was unhered in officially, and we hear of a number of park shows going out for the next three months. Teenie Russell is receiving favorable press comments regarding her new vaudeville act, in which she is assisted by chorus. The act is at the Congress Theatre, Portland, Me. Powell's Minstrels opened their summer season at Rensselaer Park, Troy. N.Y. last week, to a large audience. According to the Evening Standard, of Troy, N.Y. the show is a "howling success" Hill and Hill are at the Amphion Theatre, Brooklyn, with the Lyric, Hoboken, and the Gotham, New York, to follow. They are booked solid over the Lyceum circuit of parks beginning the week of June 21 One of the pleasing features of the "Red Moon" Company's closing at the Majestic Theatre last Saturday evening was the serenading of the members of the company by the orchestra after the fall of the curtain in the last act. The white musicians numbering nearly two NTLY GAVE A CREDITABLE PRESENTATION OF "SHE STROPS TO O ty, marched on the stage and played several farewell selections, and gave three cheers for the musical director of the "Red Moon" Company, James Reese Europe. The members of the company returned the cheering and sang several selections while the orchestra played. The Entertaining Trio, composed of Gus Haston, W. B. Howard and H. S. Gross, left this week for Europe. They will remain abroad during the summer month, having been booked while in London a few weeks ago. While playing at Shea's Theatre, Toronto, Canada, the Brittons were moved from second position on the program to next to closing, owing to the hit they were making. Last week in Buffalo they were moved from second position to No. 7. According to reports, the Metropolitan Vaudeville Exchange, an agency capable of giving vaudeville performers fifty weeks of small time, has become a fact. Pat Casey is president and Joe Woods manager. The colored acts should profit by the new agency Carlisle and Baker are playing at the Empire Hippodrome, Bristol, England. They are producing a new piano act, each using a piano on the stage and using their own compositions *Mamie Emerson and Phillip Giles*, formerly with the 'Sunny South' act, assist them. Epips and Lauretta are in Elezandria, ind. this week. While playing in Hartford City,午夜 last week they were entertained by Manager Clark, of the Vaudeville Theatre who gave a luncheon in their honor. Epips and Lauretta presented the first colored act to ever appear in Hartford. Jesse A. Shipp and Alex Rogers, of the Williams and Walker Company, are seldom seen on the streets nowadays. They are busy writing the new show for Williams and Walker for next season. There is a possibility of George W. Walker not appearing in the cast the first part of the season. The Orpheum Circuit continues to add Southern the剧院 to its long list. Wonder if Martin Beck intends to book good Negro acts in the big Southern vaudeville houses in the near future? He could afford to send a couple of the best colored acts South as a feeler and might get an agreeable surprise. Owing to the formation of several clubs which have seen fit to style them salutes the Frogs, the original and inaccurate body by that name has instructed the name to take immediate steps to present the organization of the Frogs in the various parts of the country unless sanction is seen by the New York City body. Applications for an corporation papers have been prepared to be filed in many States. The inaccurate pointers of the Frogs organized on similar lines as the Lambs, only the colored organization is giving much attention to the preservation of art and Negro folk lore and doing much to elevate the Negro on the stage. As other organizations might possible he formed with different Recently the Alpha Art Club, of Birmingham Ala., entertained its many friends in the Jefferson Theatre, the largest theatre in the city, with a rendition of "The Chaperon," an interesting all-time play of school girls and their doings. The play was filmed, and the young women immediately "took the house" by their realistic impersonation of the different characters in the play. The costumes were adapted to the act. Although amateurs, the general public, without reserve, declared it to have been the best presented in years. Between the acts the large audience was kept pleasantly engaged in listening to music.

AFTER spending two days in Greater New York, the Philadelphia Giants A New York, the Philadelphia Giants left the city well impressed with the idea that if they want to prove themselves superior ball players to the Royal Giants they will have to greatly strengthen their pitching department as well as fatten their batting averages. They also played the local nine two games—one in Park, Brooklyn, and another Decoration Day at Bronx Oval. In both games the Royal Giants won with runs to spare and showed up more classy in every de- TO CONQUER." IN WARRENSTON, D. C. partment of the game. Two things were mainly responsible for the defeat of the Philadelphia Giants: the weakness of their pitching staff and the remarkable batting of the Royal Giants. The home team is playing great ball this season, and the players are hitting the ball at a lowly. In Sunday's game Danny McGillian essayed to pitch for the visitors, but the usually effective south paw was easy to solve, and the Royal Giants connected with his carve with such frequency that he was taken out and Patton substituted. Patton held down the opposing team very well until the ninth inning, when three runs were made off his delivery. The score ended 13 to 9. The batting of Lloyd of the Philadelphia Giants, who hit one, hits a one home run, and the batting of one of the Royal Giants, who made three hits, were the features of the game.

With perfect weather prevailing, ballroom dancing was like a grand reunion of old and new friends, and all seemed to have had the "time of their lives." Although there were many other attractions on that day, none proved strong enough to prevent the friends of the Alpha from showing their appreciaion to the matinee dancers. One of the surprises of the day was the unique flavors distributed to all who attended. They were indeed "apropos" to the occasion, and were as much used as prized by the guests. The dancing was quite enjoyable, as the orchestra did itself, and was rarely allowed not after a dance until it had responded to three and sometimes four encounters of the same number. The new "Cadet" dance, introduced to the public for the first time at the Alpha spring reception, sprang into popular favor. The sets formed a complete ring of dancers, and the sight as they moved back and forth during the progress of the dance. There were many visitors in town who attended an Alpha dance for the first time and expressed interest. The faithful friend forced. In addition the large number of New Yorkers, there were many from Brooklyn, Jamica, L. I. Jersey City, N. J. Newark, N. J. Bloomfield, I. J. Irving, J. Troy, N. Y. Newburgh, N. Y. and Philadelphia, Fa. It seemed as if the closing hour came too quickly to satisfy the many present, but it was evident from the city which prevailed that every one had what may be termed a "bully time." Wine Street Barnetted The parlors of Mr W E Gross, 219 West 134th street, were the scene of one of the most brilliant affairs of the season last Friday night, when the "Bachelor Maids" gave a dinner dance for Miss Jane Scales, the sister of White Plains N. Y, is announced for June 9, at St Philip's P E Church. The rooms were elaborately decorated with roses, amabil and fleur-de-lis, and the table, spread with the full set of famous Gross silver, presented an unusually handsome apiece of gold, and a solid silver toilet set of five pieces, and was presented by Miss Emma B Magan in a witty, pithy speech. An original verse by Miss Magan played freely upon the name of the bridegroom to be, missing much merriment. It runs as TO OUR GUEST The *Bachelor Mails* "here at dinner,* *are perfectly delighted* that you ve been invited. Happy too that for your treasure You weight and measure in necessary weight the meat if you pitcher or baker in his weight ever falls.

Regular Correspondence of Tum Agr CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 31.—Last Thursday night marked the closing of the mock presidential election and mock congress of the Cambridge Men's Forum. Mr. Samuel B Nobles was elected president of the United States by a small group of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas polled a solid Republican vote; Pennsylvania, Minnesota, New York and Missouri went socialist, with Samuel McCoy as Socialist candidate; while Massachusetts, Illinois, Vermont and Ohio joined in a Democratic candidate. President Noble was duly sworn in as president by Edmond Jones, chief justice of the Supreme Court. Then followed the president's inaugural address, which was very broad in every sense of the word. Many important recommendations and the president's rejection of a rison, secretary of state, among which were the removal of Hon. William A. Cox from the Department of Printing to the Department of Dentistry; Dr. C. V. Garland succeeds Dr. E. J. Wright as chief surgeon of the U. S. Army, with headquarters at the University, while W. W. Bryant is appointed secretary of the Down and Out Club. The House was then called to order by Rolly Stovall, of Illinois, who was elected as speaker of the House, and many bills were introduced and many were approved. The most important bill was for the appropriation of $20,000 to build a cyclone-proof dining-room with a seating capacity of one in the sub-basement of the Treasury Building at Washington, to be used by the president. He may dine without hurting the tender feelings of white folks. After many other bills of less importance, the mock session of the Sixty-first Congress then adjourned. The T. W. Headenson, pastor of Charles Street Church, Boston, addressed the Cambridge Men's Forum, Sunday. In the speaker's address he pointed out the progress the Negro has made in his short time of freedom. He said in part that the serfs of Russia gained their freedom, and yet not one of those serfs has become even a constable; but in 40 years the American Negro has held every office in this Government except two or three. The address elicited a live discussion among the Allen, Blackwell and Bryant took mart. In the rally last Sunday at the Union Baptist Church, $603.05 was realised, and there are still more returns to be made. Your correspondent has never realized before Decoration Day just how great a man this race has in Booker T. Washington. It was in the summer of 1887 that the foremost citizens of Boston indicted and addressed at the dedication of the Robert Gould Shaw Monument, and there were many thousands of people of all races present to hear that address. In fact, "cold" Boston was alive with fire when she heard the righteousness and truth of the jihad of Joseph Wright and received praise indiscriminately. Today a handful of Negroes assembled in front of this same monument, not to pay their respects to the brave heroes of the Civil War, as they should have done but to condemn the War. When Gould Shaw did not do Taft's election was laid on him, the railroad strike in Georgia; Judge Dugris's decision in New York; the lynching of all Negroes in the South—all those thins were laid at the door of Booker T. Washington. He was a military leader in the local military company, a composer by trade, and who received the G. P. C. orders (either go preach Christ or go plant corn or cotton) some time ago, observed that the Negroes of Boston had representation in the police force of Boston, nor in the city council of Boston overlooking Henderson Allston, of course. Booker T. Washington, he said was responsible for all these things. In his fire-eating speech he told us to prepare for the police force of Boston, that we did need more Tuskegee along with Harrards and Yales. Mr. Fred S. Hamilton, of Hastings street, who has been visiting relatives and friends of S. and B. for the past three weeks, returned home last Wednesday. Mrs. Edwin H. Carter, of 36 Windsor street entertained.

June 1—Two special services were held in the Orange Music Hall, Sunday afternoon and evening in with the observance of the thirty-eighth anniversary of the Baptist Church, Rev. William P.

Morris, of the African-American Baptist State Convention of New York, the absence of Rev Dr Gilbert, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, New York, who telegraphed he had met with an accident and would be unable to attend. The pastor introduced the Mayor, who said, "We are so fortunate to have at presiding at this thirty-eighth anniversary of your church, and I feel if any one can uphold the dignity of a community it is the church people. You have manifested by your numbers preside the heart and soul with your pastor in helping to make this anniversary a success "You have invited a man to preside other than that of your own faith thereby showing you are possessed of a liberal spirit. Without true Christian spirit and the brotherly feeling that should prevail, no city can succeed. That you people possess all the elements that stand in the clearly demonstrated here, and your council committee are to be highly complimented in this showing. If we live honestly and give everybody their just due, we shall have our Christian duly." The evening exercises were presided over by Poyntastm John A. Ackerman, of Orange, who introduced the speaker, Hon. George H. White, former Congressman, Hon. George H. White, former Carolina, who said in part What we have done is more contributors, no limitators. The field is ripe for our young men and women to contribute something to the world's good. Stop especially imitating our employers by high-priced clothing when cheaper clothing will do and answer our purpose. Stop spending our money on arguing and saving something, become property owners become of some benefit to the community in which we live. Hardly one out of ten of our race are contributors, and why? Bornuse one thinks the others do not: one uses the upstairs, the gray matter, like a mule, do what they are driven to." A chorus of one hundred voices rendered the music and Mime Crawford of the original Fisk Jubilee Singers, rendered several songs. Short addresses were delivered by the following D. A. E. and G. Alexander, W. H. Sutherland and Zarah A. R. Cosey. Greetings from East Orange were expressed in a letter from Mayor Wm Cardwell of that city.
