VOL. XXII. No. 37. For Writing Radical Views On The Negro Question PAPERS RIDICULE Annual Summer Crop of Anti- Negro Literature Written To Give Writers Notoriety. COLONIZATION PLAN Minered by William P. Pickett, Said to be the Views of Lincoln, Condemned by the New York Times According to information received at the Age office, the various white writers who are endeavoring again to correct and advertisement by publishing books and articles expressing radical views on the Negro problem are very much bragined and disappointed at the attitude of the white press, which has looked with marked disfavor on the annual crop of anti-Negro literature. William P. Pickett, who has written book on the Negro problem, in which argue that the Negroes of the United States should be sent out of the country, and colonized, contending much news were upheld by Abraham Lincoln, comes in for a large amount of severe criticism from the daily press. One of the many papers to ridicule Pickett's views is the New York Times, which comments as follows: Mr William P. Pickett, author of The Negro Problem - Abraham Lincoln's Solution, would have us think of the grand scheme he presents for building the country of its radical troubles is full of accord with the views Lincoln entertained and frequently expressed in his addresses and conversation, but with all possible consideration for Mr Pickett, we are quite unaware to come to his way of thinking. He holds that America is no place for the black man, and that for the rest of the country and his own good should be sent away, and he quotes instantly from Lincoln's utterances so that the Great Emancipator convinced of the incompatibility of whites and blacks, and believed it utterly hopeless to attempt to say about a satisfactory adjustment the relations between them, and that way must be found to make this a man's country, with no dark holes in its population. Our attention is directed to the fact that in 1802 resident Lincoln gave an audience to committee of Negroes for the purpose of insisting their co-operation in a theme of Negro colonization, and that the course of his address to the committee he expressed with great emphasis conviction that the colored man must lease America. "You and we," said Lincoln, 'are different races. We have between us a greater difference than exists between most any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong, I need not discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both. Our race suffers very greatly, many of us by living in ours, while ours affection for our presence. In a word, it should be separated.' To this view Mr Lincoln seems to have adhered throughout his life. Mr. Pickett says that nowhere in his published works is to be discovered any indication that he ever found occasion to modify this view, while on the other hand, his State papers abound with fuzzy expressions on the differing aspects of the topic, all of which denote that colonization was confidently reckoned by him as the true solution of the problem. But there are colonizationists and colonizationists, and it certainly is as annoying to put it down that because I coin believed in colonization the right he believed in it—it ever entered his mind to commit the country could, to an operation even more difficult, to the magnificence and laud expenditure that Mr Pickett wishes. We kickstart wants billions for his trip. He would start off with money in a year, and he might want public treble that amount in his pocket, and he should find it possible to get a sort of bargain-maker in the emigrants. The most the he would spend in giving museums to the emigrants. To every multitude of years of age he would spend his embarkation for hisosen for every emigrant after years of age he would spend his honors for advisable, he says, may the honors an even thousand dollars the case of a woman between a century five years old, but when he thought that, he thinks it would be possible to drive on the expiration a very rapid pace and to that effect it is very easy to assent to that. But he never had a theme like a man he had. It is delightful that he much beyond the instrumental stage the development of his colonization. A there is evidence that he knew about it will enough to explain how he would proceed actually clear the country of its black population, and the probability is that about much as he ever contemplated was begin experimentally with one or two all colonies. Most of us would certainly have toify considerably our estimates of John's statesmanship and commonbefore we could conceive it pos- sible that he would look favorably on a scheme like Mr. Pickett's. It is silly, too, to consider it a possibility that there would have been any support in Congress for such a scheme, and the conclusion of the whole matter is that Mr. Pickett really has no basis on which to postulate that it is Lincoln's solution of the Negro problem that he presents in his book, it is Mr. Pickett's own solution and nobody would be justified in considering it as coming to him sanctified by Lincoln's approval "It is therefore permissible to speak the truth boldly and to say that the scheme is utterly impracticable and visionary. Not only is there nothing in it that will cause men like Washington Gladden, Charles W. Eliot, Thomas Nelson Page, Booker T. Washington and President Taft to recall their pronouncements against Negro colonization as a cure for our racial troubles, but it also may be said if any of these gentlemen should happen to look into Mr Pickett's scheme they undoubtedly would rate it as a good deal worse than any other colonization scheme of which they ever had heard "There is no doubt about one thing, we may remark in passing, and that is that the adoption by the Government of Mr. Pickett's scheme would greatly stimulate the fecundity of the colored race in America." NEGRO TO ENJOY BEQUEST Nothing to Prevent Him From Getting $30,000 Estate left by Bidget James Edward Johnson, who fell her to the estate of Bridget Torpy, an Irish cook, several days ago, has been informed by his attorneys that there is nothing to keep him from enjoying the $30,000 bequest left him by the executrix Bridget Torpy was for twenty-seven years cook in the family at Mrs N B Taft, 46 W Twenty-7th street. She died at the age of 70 years of cancer. At her death she was living with Negroes at 221 W Eighteenth street. When the will was tired for probate last week the document was attested by the testatrix's mark, she being unable to write her own name. According to the petition accompanying the will, the value of the estate is worth more than $10,000. The testatrix's former employer says the total value of the estate is about $30,000. James Edward Johnson, the residuary legatee in the will, was assistant cook to Bridget Torpy, and succeeded her when she was forced a few months ago to quit work on account of all health. In speaking of her former cook, Mrs Taft said: "I employed Bridget Torpy for twenty-seven years. I understood that her birthplace was Galway, Ireland, and I think she told me she had cousins living there. I believe she left at least $30,000, as I paid her more than $11,000 in wages during, her service with me, and I understood she had quite a fortune when she came to me "She was what you might call a miser, I suppose She never spent a cent of her earnings, so far as I know, and I believe she had money in almost every savings bank in the city: "Some time ago I learned the nature of her illness and prevailed upon her to go away for a time She grew discontented, however, and later asked me to get her a room in this neighborhood I did so, and she remained there for some time, but the next thing I knew she was living among the Negroes in the house where she died At her funeral were three white people—the others were Negroes VIRGINIA SUSTAINS LOSS In Death of Prof. James M. Colson, Principal of Dinwidge Institute. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE PETERSBURG, Va., June 12.—In the death of Prof James M Colson, late principle of Dinwidge Agricultural and Industrial Institute, located near this city, Negro education in the South, part- icularly in Virginia, sustains a severe loss Professor Colson died several days ago at his home on Harrison street after a brief illness. He was in his fifty-fourth year. He was a graduate of Dartmouth College, and a man of fine training and broad experience. Soon after completing his schooling in the North he was elected to the professorship of natural science in the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute, now Industrial Institute, which position he held for more than a score of years, having been a member of the faculty of the institution when the late John M Langston was its president. Five years ago he resigned the position in the above named school and accepted the principalship of the recent John A Dix, now Dinwidie Agricultural and Industrial Institute, and in this position labored with his own incomparable zeal until the end. Professor Colson was in time president of the Virginia State Teachers Association, secretary of the Hampton Conference, and was, up to his death, president of Dinwidie Farmers' Conference and treasurer of the Negro NationalTeachers' Association. As to high moral ideals, whether in his domestic or public relations, in both of which he measured up to the full standard of an active Christian gentleman. He spent in all about thirty years of an unselfish career in educating, encouraging and inspiring to a useful and better life thousands of the young men and women of our race. Business League to Run Special from Capital. WASHINGTON, D C., June 15—Arrangements are being made by the Washington Local Negro Business League to run a special sleeping car from Washington to Louisville for the accommodation of the delegates from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore as well as Washington. Expected To Arrive Here From Africa About July the 4th Has Been Completed — Account Given of Arrival of Commission and Courtesy Extended First Week of Stay Special to Tug New York Ag. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 15.—The Liberian Commission, composed of Messrs. R. P. Falkner, Emmett J. Scott and George Sale, are expected to arrive from Africa July 4. The commission has completed its labors in Monrovia, and for the past week has been conducting investigations down the coast and the Sierra Leone frontier. All are in good health. Since their stay in Africa the commissioners have learned that the people want American experts to run their finances, the custom service, the departments of mining and agriculture, education and the army. The desire for this expert guidance is sincere, and there is a reason to believe that the government would be willing to surrender absolute control of the revenues. The commissioners are loud in their praise of the treatment accorded them during their stay, and American Minister Lyon is said to have done all in his power to make their stay enjoyable. The arrival of the commission and the manner in which they were treated the first week is described as follows: the last week is described as follows: On May 8 the commission arrived off Monrovia and anchored three miles off. The American boat fired a salute of thirteen guns and was answered by the fort with thirteen guns. The American captain then sent an officer ashore to ask the American minister, Dr. Ernest Lyon, when he could call on him Being a minister, Mr. Lyon had to be called on first, but as he wanted to get to work and see the commission he waived his rights and went out at 12 o'clock to call on the captain of the ship and upon the commissioners. He brought with him Bishop I B Scott, Secretary of Legation, Mr Ellis and Edgar Allen Forbes, a white man who is here representing The World's Work. Bishop Scott and Mr Lyon had dinner with the commission, and Captain Wilson, the commissioner, and the commissioners, dressed in their frock coats, silk hats, etc, went ashore. The government sent the launch for all, decorated with flags and colors of various kinds. The launch had just been painted, and the commissioners had a merry time with their finery in keeping out of the paint. At last they landed and came through the government warehouse, where the band at once struck up the Star Spangled Banner while all uncovered. The natives and Liberians did the same. Then the Mayor and the members of the City Council were presented to the commissioners and made speeches of welcome, and the commissioners replied through their chairman. Each commissioner had the escort of a Cabinet officer, and as they ascribed the hill they came to a huge arch made of artificial flowers and bunting and each one different—a pink one, a blue one, a green one and a yellow one. Commissioner Scott replied to the welcome at the first arch, Dr Sale at the second, Mr Falkner at the third, and the fourth was at the American Legation, where the commissioners were to stop and where a great crowd had assembled Commissioner Scott, as the Negro member of the commission, spoke at the Legation, and then they went inside to be presented to the people. As each address was made by a lady representing a county of the Republic, she and those holding the arch would go along with the commissioners holding the arch over their heads until the next arch was reached. On Sunday, May 9, Commissioners Sale and Scott went ashore, and also Major Ashburn and Mr Bowler, and went to the Methodist church Bishop mitted to affirms a reason, at least, why we suffer on each side. If this is ad Scott preached the sermon. The rest of the day was spent quietly aboard the ship. On May 10 the whole commission again dressed in all the "regimentals of importance" and went over to the office of the Secretary of State, who received them and then piloted them to the Executive Mansion to meet the President and his Cabinet. They spent half an hour there were photographed, went to the American Legation to call on the German Consul, and then to the ship. On Tuesday, May 11, the commissioners went ashore to get their headquarters in shape to do some work of the commission. Theound that it took entirely to get ashore and going and getting ready, and so they secured a room with large, airy rooms—a room for each commissioner, and splendidly furnished. On Wednesday, May 19, the commission moved bag and baggage from the ship, and having accepted an invitation from the President of the Republic, Mr. Barclay, to be the guests of honor at a reception in their honor, they went to the Executive Mansion again dressed in "residentals" and met the President, There never before an American citizen was to be proud of his try. This nation is the world, the day after to descent to persuade administration of peace the Inter-American Council of the world. The in this great nation serve at peace, the world prevails. The period we come, the beginning of they shall beat their hooks and their wounds shares.

The more healthy the best healthy will be the greatest true both in State and Country. "The administration has been resident Roosevelt, just closed, will not be remembered. It was true, and making administration. It called, halt on many things. It turned its ground and made new departures, concluded with a spectacle which was the wonder and admiration of the people, the feet of battleships sent on a mission of peace to circumnavigate the world. "And providentially by Roosevelt is succeeded by the President, who I believe is best suited to continue the well-begin work. He has full sympathy with both the present and work of his predecessor. He attaches at full value the importance of the great undertakings of his predecessor, and can carry them forward with his heart and soul, without a break, of his present sympathy, experiences, and knowledge, in harmony with his mission, do the best he can do of the entire work." race, color or pretence of violence, and there is no reason why he should not have the earnest support of the people of all sections. Some people will want him to do things which will not be the best to do; and others will want him to do things which ought not to be done; but the thing to do is to lay your claims before him, supported by the best arguments you can produce, and let him be the judge. "When a man's heart is right and he has all of the facts before him, no other man is as good a judge of what ought to be done as he who has it to do. My opinion is that President Saft, because he has the great desire for the well being of his people, will be equal to, if not surpass, anyone that has preceded him. "On the race question, the thing that pleases me most is his unyielding support of the fifteenth amendment. This I have noticed whenever he touches upon the question of the elective franchise. He is a great lawyer, knows that with that constitutional provision maintained the time will come when the Negro will come into the full possession of his rights in all parts of this land. He has no authority to do anything in the States where the fifteenth amendment has been nullified by political ingenuity; but he can say a lot, and has said much to the confusion of those responsible for the nullification, as a memoir a memoir, a no matter he merely, by the Chief Executive of the nation, it creates sentiment against it and causes uneasiness in the minds of those who support it. His strong denunciation of the attempt at nullification in the State of Maryland has given the measure a black eve and caused the promoters to fear defeat. It is my opinion that President Taft has already helped us in some measure in North Carolina, which has been and still is the best and most progressive of all the Southern States. "Under the re-construction laws in 1888 we adopted a constitution equal to the best in the land. There was nothing in it which recognized any difference of rights on the ground of race, color or previous condition. There were fourteen colored men in that convention. But I do not think any man, except myself, could point to the colored men in the record. In those days I regarded North, Carolina as the best place on earth. The evidence that the Negro improved this great opportunity is frequently seen. Go where you will in this country, if you meet a Negro from North Carolina, you will generally find him at the front and managing great enterprises. "When the States to the south of us began to adopt disfranchising amendments, nullifying the fifteenth amendment, they sent the emissaries of the propaganda into North Carolina to stir up strife, discord, confusion, death and disfranchisement; but even in this North Carolina has shown a better sentiment than is found in other States. The effect of the grandfather clause was limited to ten years, and ended with 1908. There was a purpose with some in the last session of the legislature to extend it for ten years longer; but the fairer sentiment prevailed. I have the opinion that the known attitude of President Taft, who insists that the States should square their constitutions and (Continued on Page 9) "LILY WHITE WING" Only Faction To Receive Recognition in Louisiana Up To Date —Promise Made to Unite Factions Not Kept Special to THE NEW YORK AGE NEW ORLEANS, LA., June 15 —At this time the political situation in this State is in what might be termed a decidedly chaotic and unsettled condition, owing to the fact that the voters are at loss to tell what faction enjoys the distinction of being the regular Republican organization of Louisiana. An effort is being made to determine A. H. J. BISHOP E W LAMPTON at Washington which of the many faction is decided for all time there is lican organization, and until this question is decided for all times there is a probability of the various elements giving an exhibition of "undividedness" that will remind one of the Democratic party at a National election. It is known by all throughout Louisiana that the Negroes are becoming uneasy for fear that President Taft is being misled and misguided in his Southern policy so far as this State is concerned. It was definitely arranged and agreed upon at the Chicago convention that there would be a reorganization of the Republican party in Louisiana after election through the leadership of the National chairman, and that in the reorganization the claims of the old organization, the "Lily Whites" and the regular Republicans would be recognized and a way found to get them together. Although it has been a year since such an agreement was entered into, nothing has been done by the National chairman or anybody else to bring the various factions together. At this time the different factions are farther apart than ever before. Another element in the situation which is disturbing the Negro voters, and something that has occasioned no little talk, is that every appointment made by President Taft up to this time has been from the "Lily White" wing of the Republican party. During the campaign in the North it was promised that the Negro would be treated fairly. Not only are the Negroes of Louisiana anxiously watching for the fulfillment of such a promise, but the members of the race throughout the country are also looking forward to the President giving recognition where recognition is due. NEGRO ENTERPRISES Diseased by Prof. Charles H Moore in Indianapolis. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE INDIANAPOLIS. IND-June 12 - Prof. Charles H. Moore, organizer of the National Negro Business League, addressed a large audience last week at Jones Tabernacle. The meeting was held under the auspices of the local branch of the league The Hon Henry W. Furniss, minister to Haiti, and Attorney L. H Lott also spoke Prof. Moore said that in Mississippi there are twelve banks controlled by Negroes, while in the country there are fifty financial institutions in the hands of his race. In Birlingham, Ala., aloe, he said, there are four banks, two wholesale groceries, about one hundred retail grocery stores, half a dozen drug stores and numerous other business enterprises in the hands of Negroes. Before a branch of the business league was started at Bristol, Tenn. Prof Moore said, there was not a single business enterprise conducted by a Negro A branch was started by a colored barber, and there are now twenty-two concerns owned and controlled by Negroes IMPEACOING SHERIFP Who Allowed Mob to Lynch Negro, Sold to Be Far-Reaching by Southern Press. Montgomery, Ala., June 15.—Many of the Southern papers are praising the Supreme Court of Alabama for impeaching and removing from office Sheriff Frank Cazalas, who permitted a mob to take a Negro out of the Mobile County jail and lynch him. One of the papers to comment on the incident is The Montgomery Advertiser, as follows "The decision by the Supreme Court of Alabama, by which Sheriff Frank Cazalas, of Mobile County, was impeached and removed from office is more vitally important and more far-reaching in ultimate consequences than the average man realizes. To begin with, it is J. the greatest advance toward the abolition of lynch law and the orderly administration of justice, even in disturbed times, that has been made in Alabama in many years "It is not necessary in viewing the case, the decision and its ultimate results, to discuss the guilt or innocence of the Mobile sheriff The court decided that he was guilty of neglect—even though there was dissent in the court itself and that was sufficient. One may or may not believe that under all the circumstances surrounding the lynching of the Negro in Mobile that the sheriff was harshly treated And one may or may not feel a sympathy with the unfortunate individual, who became the first victim of the majesty of the law, when a turn was made in customs and ideals "The one absolutely certain result of the entire affair is that it will reduce mob violence in Alabama. The highest court of the state has gone on record, and in doing so it has laid down the law in absolute certainty, that a sheriff must, if a prisoner is lynched, be able to show that he did what he could to protect the prisoner and defend him from armed violence The prisoner in his charge must be protected, according to the court; as firmly as would be 'the ark of the covenant' "Where a prisoner is lynched, a sheriff can with ease be haled before the Supreme Court. The court has, by its precedent, declared that it would coldly and impartially investigate the culpability of the sheriff and if guilty of neglect remove him from his office. Even as the courts are open to prosecute and punish the man who commits a crime, so is the Supreme Court open to investigate and punish, if guilty, the sheriff who fails to discharge his duty in the protection of his prisoner. It might be said, in the light of the outcome of the Carazas case, a new responsibility has been placed upon the sheriffs of Alabama. "The decision will cool the ardor of future mobs. Mobs are always made up of men who know the sheriff; often the members of the mob are his close friends and neighbors. As lawless as they are, mobs do not want to injure the sheriff. The most ignorant member of a mob of the future knows that to protect himself, a sheriff must protect his prisoner. He knows that the sheriff must fight and fire on the mob, or be put out of his office. The decision, in practical effect, means that the sheriff who surrenders his prisoner without making a fight, surrenders his office at the same time. "There will be fewer lynchings in Alabama." PRICE, 5 CENTS STRIFE IN GREENVILLE Over the Proper Use and Meaning of Appela tion "Miss" WHITES AVERSION To Addressing Daughter of an A.M.E. Bishop "Miss" Causes Red Hot Race Discussion BISHOP E. W. LAMPTON Demands that Female Members of Family be Shown Respect by Whites - Daughter Sen to Oblertia GREENVILLE, Miss. June 15.—The aversion of the Southern white to appropriately address members of the Negro race as "Mister," "Mistress" and "Miss," respectively, has created an unusual state of affairs in this city, in which Bishop E. W. Lampton and his daughter are principals. In this section of the country there are hundreds of whites who are not averse to addressing a Negro as "Doctor," "Professor" and "Colonel," but when it comes to "Mister," "Mistress" and "Miss," such appellations are supposed to imply social distinction. On the other hand there are hundreds of Negroes in the South who know full well that such terms of respect are rightfully due them, and as the result almost daily a discussion arises as to the proper manner in which a white person should address a Negro. Young Negro women of culture and education are embarrassed more than any other members of the race, as they demand that they be called "Miss." The recent trouble was started by Miss Lampton demanding that she be addressed as "Miss," which resulted in a heated discussion between the two races and Miss Lampton leaving Greenville. Miss Lampton is the nearly grown daughter of Bishop E. W. Lampton, of the A. M. E. Church. For some she insisted that she be addressed "Miss" by the shop girls, telephone operators. Last Saturday one of the telephone operators showed her disrespect, and she informed the girl that she would see that her father would force the operators to treat her with proper courtesy. Shortly afterward Bishop Lampton appeared at the telephone exchange and in an interview with the manager protested that the operators be made to address his daughter as Miss Lampton. The manager refused to issue any such order, and he later made known the cause of the interview to a number of white citizens. In the meantime Bishop Lampton told many of his Negro friends of the incident. They, too, became indignant, and the feeling between the aces was strained. Miss Lampton has gone to Oberlin College, and the Lampton family, including the Bishop, accompanied her as far as Cincinnati. CHILDREN'S DAY AT SPRINGFIELD. Independence Day Big Preparations—Bishop Anniversary—Regular Correspondence of The Age. SPRINGFIELD, MASS., June 15—Almost all of our city churches were unusually and handsomely decorated with flowers and ferns Sunday, the occasion being "Children's Day." The day did not behe its name in any manner, as the little tots and youths acquitted themselves splendidly in the presentation of their recitations and musical selections. The main auditorium of the St John's Church was comfortably filled at five o'clock in the afternoon and the audience listened to one of the best children's concerts given for several years. In the evening the Bible school of the Third Baptist Church rendered an interesting and well attended children's day concert. On last Tuesday evening the "Psychic Research Club" closed for the summer months with a banquet at the house of Mr George W Johnson, on king street. The spacious double parlor of Mr Johnson's home were opened and beautifully decorated for the occasion. Covers were laid for about eighteen persons. The president of the club Rey P. G. Moore Brown, introduced Mr. Charles L. Williams, who in a very happy manner served as toastmaster for the evening. The invited guests of the evening were: Mr and Mrs Walter Butler Mr and Mrs W J Erferson and Mr and Mrs Egbert Lee. The club reopens in October. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Frazier of Grand street, celebrated their twelfth wedding anniversary on the evening of the 6th inst., by entertaining a few of their friends and members of the United Housing Company. Mr. David W Johnson, in behalf of the Housing Company, presented the couple with a beautiful gas lamp and other useful presents were received, consisting of cut glass and Japanese ware. A congregatory speech was made by Mr. B J. Harper, to which Mr. Frazier responded. A beautiful repast was served, during which Mrs. Frazier and her son, George, furnished music. COLORED Y. M. C. A. Must Raise $1,800 by June 20th, in Order to Secure Further Financial Aid For Completion of Building. Regular Correspondence of The Aur WASHINGTON, D. C., June 16—On Monday evening last the Negro Business League of this city held a meeting for the annual election of officers and the sending of delegates to the National convention, which is to meet in Louisville during the month of August. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev J. A Moorland, who was later elected chaplain of the Washington league. Among the ne wmembers accepted by the league were Ralph R Hawkins, proprietor of the Dunbar Vaudette, J. A. Budd, a grocer, and Edward H Lawson, connected with THE NEW YORK AGE, Colored American Magazine and Business League Herald. The election of officers was held in the regular way. W. Sidney Pittman was re-elected president, Daniel Freeman, first vice-president, R. H Underdown, second vice-president, Charles H Hemans, recording secretary, and George F Collins, corresponding secretary. All of these officers were re-elected to their several positions by acclamation Joseph Manning succeeded W L Pollard as treasurer and Dr Moorland was elected chaplain, it being stipulated that his prayers had been very effective in Y M. C A work John W Lewis was re-elected sergeant-at-arms R W Thompson suggested that a large public meeting be arranged for the installation of the new officers next month, whereby the aims and purposes of the organization might be presented to the public in a comprehensive way. The meeting will be held in July, and will be in the charge of Messrs R W Thompson, chairman Daniel Freeman, S H Rolling Thomas L. Jones and Thomas Mallory Delegates were elected to the national convention and will attend in a private car Mr aLnford, as senior officer of the league, by virtue of his being a vice-president of the national league, will head the delegation. This delegation, which will go to Lousville in August, will be composed of the following J. A. Lankford, R R Horner, J A Cobb, Henry E. Baker, Thomas I. Jones, Geo F Collins, James B. Anderson, John W Lewis, S H Bolling, R H Underdown, Ralph R Hawkins, Daniel Freeman, W Sidney Pittman, Joseph Manning, R W Thompson and Edward H Lawson. There would have been a number of doctors in the delegation, but they will be compelled to be at the N M A convention in Boston at the same time. The meeting of the league was addressed by two New York brokers having offices here in the Hibbs Building. They spoke in the interest of the Lincoln Memorial Building Company, of which W Sidney Pittman is president. They desire to launch here a $400,000 enterprise—a building containing a theatre and office rooms and restaurant to give the colored people the benefit of the monep they expend for pleasurable and business purposes. The A75 shall have considerable more information concerning this propaganda at a later date. The collection of the meeting in dues and contributions amounted to $10,20 It was predicted several months ago that the election of William Howard Taft would mean an era of genuine prosperity for the entire country. The Age has been on the lookout for indications of such prosperity. Nowhere are they more clearly noted than around the National capital among the Negro population. People are giving away their moneys in handpills; they are making checks and writing drafts for worthy causes by the hundreds for thousands of dollars. Indeed, the situation is a remarkable one, and one which has a peculiar faculty for making the white people of the community rejoice. The Young Men's Christian Association, as stated last week, needed $10,000 to go on with the work on their building in order to bring it quickly to a condition where it might be habitable. The Central Y M C A of the city made an offer to the Colored Men's Branch of $5,000 for their building provided they secured a like sum within thirty days ending June 11, 1900. Tis offer, if met, with Mr John D Rockefeller's balance of $10,000 would add $20,000 to the building fund, which amount will pay for the building on 12th street up to its present stage of completion. The time has been extended from June 11 to June 20. The Colored Men's Branch has sold about $1,800 to collect. The probe of the citizens of Washington has made them come for ward as never before and it is a fare gone conclusion that they will gun that for which they are striving. There have been some remarkable velopments in construction with the collection for this cause. Several United State States who have withheld their names have given sums amending it so-called buildings of dollars. W W Yen a charity is committed with the legation to have the Nineteenth Street Post office be collapsed $50. B R P A P A T E. Church St. in the Nineteenth Street $50. B R P A P A T E. making suburbs out fifty miles. M R P A T E. the situation are making calls on which we love foot to raise the amount required. It is reasonable to expect that their solicitors will bring forth a small amount that is advertised as the present. A number of citizens of Wash- ington both white and colored are pre- paring to furnish rooms in the new building as memorials to deceased rela- tives or friends among whom might be mentioned Prof. James Storm of the M Street High School. The contractor for the building has made his creditors a present of $100. It is apparent that the work on the new Y M C A building will soon require the large force of workmen which it required a few months ago. Times are going to look like prosperity again around on 12th street. The Wednesday Afternoon Whist Club, an organization composed en- civic and charitable affairs of New York, Brooklyn and New Jersey, managed through the assistance of the Brownie Whist Club, of Brooklyn, an old and established social institution, to awake the echoes of the staid and quiet village of Homewood, Brooklyn, on Saturday night last, by tendering a surprise party to Mr. and Mrs. William C Greene, whose fifteenth wedding anniversary the occasion marked Mr Greene, who had been the recipient of a handsome heavy piece of crystal from his fellow clerks on the staff of the general superintendent of city delivery, of the New York Post Office, where he is the clerk in charge, had just returned from an outing with his family, when the "surprisers" arrived with bells on, as the saying goes, bearing gifts and tokens of good feelings. With almost undue ceremony the women took possession of the cottage and soon spread a feast worthy of the gods, while the male portion of the contingent bused itself in various ways.

Walker, of Augusta, a., one of the best known Negro clergymen in the United States, recently delivered an address on "Some Factors in the Solution of the Race Problem." The address was made at the Shiloh aBptist Church Rev Mr Walker said in part. There is a wolf lack of parental government in the home. You cannot take a race and expect to have anything like permanent progress in it unless that tax owns land and builds homes for its people. The reason the cooled north of the South outscrips his Northern brother is because he is acquiring property and has an interest in the land. There is more stability and permanence in his life. He has something to leave. He is interested in law and art and good government, and cannot afford to lawless and disorderly life. He is the tramp. The only way to have good churches, good schools and good citizens is to travel.

On the Lawson one can walk five hundred feet on a strip of ore a foot wide. The property has only been three weeks in the hands of the La Rose, which is developing it. Kerr Lake, adjoining, is mining high grade ore at a depth of four hundred feet. The money value of the Lawson vein staggers one, even though it should persist, only one hundred feet, which is a reasonable supposition, since a shaft now sinking is already down forty-feet, with the values constant. The world must expect the silver issues to come to the front along with the copper, and the natural result will be a big market in all mining stocks. Goldfield Consolidated, Cumberland Ely, Giroux and Kerr Lake mines are among some of the best apparent speculative or investment buying. I would advise conservatism in the general buying at this this juncture, as there is a growing sentiment that aliquidation in several of the leading stocks is due in order to create a healthy atmosphere for a more decided bull movement; if such is the case I would advise to buy on reaction. Clio School in Third Year. Chlo School in Tahoe Year Lovers who bear an esteem for the higher branches of psychic philosophy will be gratified to hear of the Chlo School of Mental Sciences founded three years ago by the gifted Prof Adena C. Minott. The school is conveniently and most centrally located at 487 Sixth avenue near 20th street, New York. Prof Adena Minott enjoys a wide reputation in this country as well as abroad, and that she has accepted for persuasion of many, and has opened a school of mental science should heartily welcomed, especially after her PROL. ABDUL HAMID successful career and work. Her demonstrations on the subject from time to time have always won the plaudits of the large audiences which have greeted her. The study of mental sciences ranks among the highest and most useful professions, and in many instances has proven itself superior to them, for to be forewarned is to be forearmed. But the scientific usefulness of these studies seem to be little known among colored people. It is the profession which embraces all that pertains to human life. It helps in the economics of life, because it enables one to realize one's energy strength and ability to the best of advantage by using one's special talent. In the right direction, this avoiding unnecessary failures. It helps a person to understand himself; it makes them tolerant with the defects of others, it enables one to select the right kind of a business partner and especially, in the important selection of the right kind of a mate for life. Most important is the help it gives in teaching one how to maintain health or recover it, and to avoid the special diseases to which they are susceptible. In a word, how to maintain a healthy body so as to have an active and healthy brain and a happy and successful life. The study is essential to both married woman and as it enables each to better understand the peculiarities of the other and is a paramount importance to parents in helping them to determine the proper course to be successfully engaged by their children. The course of study, as taught in the Chi School of Mental Science, is not pursued only by those who wish to bow it as a vocation, but is taken up by many for the important guide which it is to their lives, and Prof Minetti treats that despite the seeming drawbacks which people of color encounter in this land, the United States offers better advantages and superior opportunities to every individual than can be found in any other country. The secret is in knowing where these advantages lie, how to take hold of the opportunity. Private class and correspondence courses are given in all branches of the science including physiology, head reading, physiognomy, face reading psychology study of the mind, anthropology study of man, scientific psychology study of the hand. Prof. Alena Minott is closely affiliated with the colleges from which she graduated being an honorary graduate of Otter and having received a diploma from the other the world.

LIBERIANS NOT DESPAIRING. The American daily press is publishing stories, for the most part pure inventions, concerning the despair and disappointment of Liberians over the American Liberian commission. It is being noised abroad that the African Republic expected a "naval demonstration that would compel Europe to sit up and rub its eyes." "It had also been hoped," so the report goes, "that the Liberian commissioners would be so well known that their word on Liberian conditions would impel general attention and acceptance." The Age is in receipt of personal advices from Liberia disproving both of these fallacious statements. Liberians and their government knew that America was sending a commission to investigate and report on conditions in the Republic. No naval demonstration to impress Europe was ever contemplated. Liberians, and the Liberian papers to hand, knew before the sailing of the fleet that Booker T. Washington was not to accompany the commission. On the other hand the commission and their coming, if the wild welcome which they received may speak, were much impressed and greatly satisfied with the personnel of the commission. The Liberian government, and especially President Arthur Barclay, extended every courtesy and every service possible to the commission. Furthermore, Liberia does not expect to become a State of America, press reports notwithstanding. She cherishes dearly her independence As the representation of Montserrado county said at the welcome of the commission, Liberians generally feel: Now, whether in the eyes of the progressive world we have done anything which may entitle us to some respect, we know not. But in ourselves we are conscious of the fact that although people are in a sense isolated from the civilized world, we did without means and education, and we have remained here as an independent State for sixty years—a beacon light to our native citizens and a rich opportunity for Negro freedom and the exercise and expansion of his physical, mental and moral faculties. EDWARD EVERETT HALE In the death of Edward Everett Hale, the Negro race mourns more because of the passing of the noble class to which he belonged rather than because of his marked personal achievements in its behalf. Dr. Hale was one of the last of the grand old Puritans, an aristocrat of revolutionary lineage, who believed implicitly in the brotherhood of man, and who hated slavery simply because slavery was wrong. One of the earliest of Republicans, he was one of the foremost Massachusetts friends of the slave, being a personal and ardent friend of Eli Thayer, of Worcester, the friend and supporter of John Brown. He himself was an officer and efficient worker of the Emigrant Aid Society, through whose efforts anti-slavery won over slavery in the Kansas Border Ruffian war of 1857. Since the Civil war Dr Hale was the unwavering and powerful friend of the Negro race on all questions of civil rights, privileges and opportunities. Through the South Congregational church of Boston, which he pastored from 1856 till his death, he long and largely helped Negro education in the South Few, if any, Americans are now before the public of the high soul and service of Edward Everett Hale. Fewer still are those men rising to take his place, standing straight and strong as did he and his fellows for justice and equality for the Negro. The Negro must and is now learning to tread the wine press alone. But he is grateful forever for the noble class of which Hale was so true a member THE EXILE OF LAMPTON We are loath to believe the report sent to the New York Sun by its Mississippi correspondent that Bishop Lampton, with his family, have been driven from their home town of Greenville because the Bishop insisted that his daughter be addressed as "Miss" Not that we place the effort above the despicable, depraved rabble of Mississippi, but the Bishop, the most powerful Negro in his State, is not of the type and of such little standing even with the good white citizens as to be exiled so easily Doubtless the circumstances are as reported, even to the indignation meeting—for of all the nominally civilized people in the rid who make it their business to se fleas, the poor whites of the South the worst when the red rag of "race" is exhibited—but the truth probably is that the Bishop accompanied his daughter north and will return to stand his ground if that is the issue. We cannot believe otherwise than that this powerful and sensible Negro churchman would be protected by the better citizens and the State of Mississippi --- NEW YORK BUSINESS LEAGUE. The large and fine meeting recently held under the auspices of the New York Local Business League at the Zion Church in 89th street deserves our praise and commendation. This meeting shows some of the results of what the League has been doing all through the winter. This organization should be largely and generously supported by our men and women who are in business in Greater New York. Much good has already been accomplished, and still greater good can be accomplished in the future. The New York League should be represented at the national meeting in Louisville in August by a large and representative delegation of our best business men and women. JOB FOR KELLEY MILLER We wonder if during the hot summer days, when he has nothing else to do, if Prof Kelley Miller, of Washington, will not compile a list of "national" organizations that have been formed and re-formed during the last two or three years for the purpose of solving the race problem. Prof Miller, also, might include not only a list of those that have been organized, but those that have died. It is curious to recognize that in the forming of these organization that live only for a few days the same group of individuals are responsible. The people absolutely refuse to follow them—that is the explanation of it all. Such a list from the pen of Prof Miller would prove most timely and interesting. NEGRO MILLIONAIRES Anent the discussion in the local daily press on Negro millionaires, precipitated by the address of Dr. Booker T Washington at Mother Zion, we, too, believe that the need of wealth among Negroes is a crying one, and that a few black millionaires would be a blessing. We do not agree, however, with our daily contemporary that a Negro millionaire would have the influence of a thousand Negro poets and philosophers. Here and there over this country for more than three decades there have been Negroes whose wealth has been in the hundreds of thousands, and some two or three who have been truly called millionaires These rich Negroes, just as other rich men, have devoted their wealth and energy to the creation of more wealth and selfish pleasure. Their influence upon public sentiment cannot be compared with the Dunbars and the Douglases, whose impress upon America have been deep by reason of their charming songs and cogent reasoning There can be no dispute that it is the racial and almost religious duty of every Negro now to acquire his quota of this world's goods. The vast and varied uses of wealth and its predominating influence in this country are too plain for definition How long, for example, would Negroes traveling in the South be humiliated by the galling accommodations of the Jim Crow cars if Negroes had a few million dollars invested in those roads? How long would the capable Negro be rigidly restricted to hewer of wood and drawer of water in Northern and Southern industry if there were Negro directors in the corporations and Negro captains of industry? The Negro need no longer reason why his feelings and his rights are not respected It is for the Negro to apply himself henceforth to the acquisition of wealth—that force which America and the modern world respects Thomas Jefferson called the dollar almighty Business enterprises and industrial power are pathways to peace By the sign of the dollar the Negro must conquer --- The anti Liberian commission press is indeed ingenuous. At every turn it has contrived something to embarrass and harrass the commission. After the various stories about members refusing to serve because of race prejudice Iad fallen to earth, after the stories of Southern naval officers' threats to mutiny on account of their objection to serving the colored commissioner have been proven falsehoods by the excellent treatment accorded Emmett J. Scott, in the last ditch that press now says the Liberians are in despair and disappointment over the commission's conservatism. Well, the press, too, has to be consistent, and necessity is the mother of invention. We are heartily in favor of the Negro Semi Centennial for 1913. The Negro has been the son who staid at home, he has waxed pretty fat and grown fairly strong, although he has had rough rocky sledding under hard training, at the expiration of the semi-centennial he might well, by way of announcing his majority, make a demonstration of his manhood and ask for the portion of goods which fallleth rightfully to him. THE BURDEN OF BROOKLYN. There hangs around the neck of the respectable Negroes of Brooklyn the burden of her Negro slums. There devolves upon the respectable Negroes of Brooklyn the problem removing this burden by improving the conditions of the dwellers in the district. There can be no escape from the influence of these conditions Either the Negroes in the lower quarters must be lifted up or the Negroes in the better quarters will continue to be thereby dragged down. During these evenings the region around Myrtle avenue and Fleet place presents a saddening spectacle. Loose women and slouching men congest the sidewalks and crow the correna. The squalor of the houses, whose windows and doorways are filled with unkempt women and children, the coarse conduct of the loafing male and female characters upon the streets, make of this district a dangerous reproach to the race. The white saloons with the inevitable family entrance, crowded with noisy, spendthrift Negroes, the questionable houses running riot with mirth, immediately explain that this community has been abandoned to the depths of deprivation. Within a radius of a quarter of a mile there are three of the largest and oldest Negro churches of Brooklyn. Yet their impression upon their surroundings is hardly noticeable. The social stench of this community infects with Negro antipathy not only the surroundings white neighborhood, but the entire traveling public. It hurts the industrial opportunity and social standing of all other Negroes in Brooklyn. It is rearing a larger generation in the despair of ignorance and sin, thereby jeopardizing the Brooklyn Negro of the future. It is for the respectable Negroes of Brooklyn to take up this work. The Negro churches should get together in a movement for reform. The dens of ammorality and debauchery should be closed up. Places of clean enjoyment and recreation should be substituted and encouraged. The people of this congested community should be provided with breathing places other than the streets. We hope someone will shortly take the lead. The present position and future standing of the race makes it a crying need EDITORIAL AFTERTBOUGHTS Prof Burt G Wildef, of Cornell, at the recent conference in this city, said the average Negro's brain is superior to that of the New York politician. This doubtful compliment to the Negro would seem to indicate that Prof. Wilder either thinks that the Negro, too, can succeed or that the New York politician is the missing link sought by Darwin. Jesse Miller, the Vermont walking delegate, who attempted to organize Georgia Negroes into the union, was driven out, while E A Ball, the Canadian walking delegate, trying to drive Negroes off the railroads, stands second only to Hoke Smith in popularity among Georgia crackers. No distinction, but a mighty big difference There is much solace in the recognition of the fact that the Negro-hating South, placing every conceivable barrier in the path of the Negro, does so because she is losing her nerve, but the disquieting feature of such consolation is the consciousness of the other fact that few of us will be here to see her prostrate Booker T. Washington, at the Mother Zion meeting, and said commerce is bringing the North and the South together From the angry, vigorous debates in the Senate, as between Senators Aldrich, of Rhode Island, and La Follette, of Wisconsin, it looks very much as though commerce is going to bring the Fast and West together also The semi-official announcement from Washington that Negro appointments are coming soon after July 1 has caused all the Negro disciples to groom up their booms, each asking "Is it I," and although the Judias are numerous, there are no Peters among them, who by any kind of combination of forces could be made now to deny the cause Within the last month two Negro coaches have fared unusually well by bequests, one getting from his old employer a house, an ample annuity and a complete team and the other getting from an Irish maid-servant and a former fellow employee, an estate worth $40,000. The badge of service is not only the badge of success, but the badge of popularity, with high and low. Begry, don't you know! The Southern Secretary of War, Dickinson, at Gettysburg, saying the South was wrong, fundamentally wrong, has been gently reproved by The Charleston News and Courier for talking family affairs outside Mr Dickinson must be realizing Mr Taft's most sanguine hopes, in dividing "the house against itself" Assuring the success of the Medical Association's Convention in Boston in August, the doctors have patched up their splits, healed all their wounds, allayed all irritation and have gone to work with might and main. Anyway, Boston wouldn't be Boston if there were not differences of opinion and intellectual dissensions to be bridged. The Japanese Commercial Weekly, of New York, rightly asks which are the more civilized, Georgia whites or Georgia Negroes? If our Japanese friends could be on the ground and note the fifty millions of dollars of wealth those Negroes have acquired in one generation and then see the "crackers," stagnant in their deprivation for over a century, they would never ask that question again. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Col. George Harvey, the versatile editor of Harper's Weekly, in a recent explosion of confidence in a Western town, says that he would have supported Willkam Jennings Bryan in the last campaign if Mr. Bryan had not shown by his Madison Square Garden speech, after his return from his trip around the world, that "his head was full of mush." So glad he discovered it in time. Mr. Bryan is now striving to be elected United States Senator from Nebraska. As a persistent and cheerful seeker after political honors which elude him Mr. Bryan stands at the head of the class. The Christian Recorder has been resurrected from the dead and has the genuine appearance of a newspaper ghost. Its head looks like a country advertisement gathered in a hurry, and its body, with column columns of the magazine size, sits at the reader as if astonished at their secular brazenness. Editor-Richard Ray Wright, Jr., may improve its typographical hideousness in time, we think, as he is not eligible, we believe, to the Bench of Bishops. So many bishops grew out of The Recorder, from Benjamin Tucker Tanner to Levi Jeremiah Coppin, that it was compelled to die for a season. Young Mr. Wright is the only editor The Recorder has had, we believe, who was not an ordained preacher and ingrained aspirant for bishop. The death of Theophilus J Minton, at Philadelphia, recently, recalls to the mind of the writer the period in Washington life, between 1875 and 1885, when the Negro was at his intellectual and social zenith in the national capital. Mr Minton was the youngest, most courtly, and, socially, the most favored. The social line was distinctly marked in those days between the good and bad, the high and low. The goodly company was made up of the families of Frederick Douglas, John Mercer-Langston, Senator B. K. Bruce, Capt. O. F. B. Wall, John Cook, James Storum, John W. Crowell, Dr. Alexander Grummelle, John Francis, Richard Theodore Greener, Milton M. Holland, the Shadds, the Careys, the Bozemans, Rev. F. J. Grimke, Frederick G Barbados, and a few others. All intellectual and social life moved about this brilliant group. There were congressmen high and diplomatic diplomats offspring who came and went, and social life at Washington was good and rich to mingle in. It passed away with that decade, and has not been replaced. It has the spectacular social but not the social intellectual. Take a Frederick Douglass and a John Mercer-Langston out of the body of any social organism and it will either wither or have a long time for replacement of the missen center parts. When Gen. U. S. Grant was dying on high Mount Macgregor, in Saratoga County, New York, which overlooks the Green Mountains, far away in the distance, giving to the intervening horizon a halo of enchantment, he sent this message to the American people "Let us have peace." Last week his son, Gen. Frederick Dent Grant, attended the Confederate reunion at Memphis, and the welcome General Lee's veterans gave him drew tears "from his eyes and his shoulders shook with emotion," while "the stars and bars of the lost cause" nodded and wept welcome "everywhere." It was highly spectacular and lachrymose. General Grant must have rejoiced in his sarcophagus high on Riverside Drive, close by which the stately Hudson flows up at even and down again at morning. "God bless you all, boys," murmured Gen. Frederick Dent Grant; but General Grant's black veterans, who led the Federal troops into Richmond, and who have ever since been slaughtered by the brave Confederates in cold blood, what did they say? The newspaper dispatches did not chronicle it, for they were silent, all, the living and the dead! It is highly probable that Dr. Washington's praise of Jack Johnson will induce the burly pugilist to purchase another automobile. What does a poorn black pugilist, flush to-day and broke to-morrow, want with an automobile? A red devil with a black satan astride of it will make a white streak on any turnip, and if it escapes a smashup the white streak will be "Put money in your purse" is no good if you do not keep money in your purse. T. Troyer is for sure. HARMONY PLEASES BOSTON To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE The citizens of Boston were highly pleased by the intelligence received through THE NEW YORK AGE of the harmony which now exists in the ranks of the Boston doctors. We have had a close interest in the matter as citizens who desire to join in the enthusiastic movement to take the visitors to the AME to help us want to congratulate THE AGE upon its editorial comment which undoubtedly aided in bringing about the settlement. We want to congratulate the Citizens Committee also for their determined stand when the professional body failed to adjust the matter satisfactorily to Dr. Garland. We only regret that Dr. Garland was not reinstituted as chairman of the committee from whom he was torn by envious hands. His opponents are strangely silent on the subject, especially so it seems when the affair is regarded a public matter and was actually brought to a settlement by the firmness of the Boston citizens who were wronged by his fellow doctors. We rejoice, however, that the incident is closed and that Dr. Garland is again associated with the committee of arrangements, for we do not see how the coming convention could be a success without the indignation of resistance of this eminent physicist powerful influence among the people of Boston. THE POET. Post count not the favor of the many! For short-lived are the transports of applause And fools shall sit in judgment over the sky. And thou shalt hear the world's unfeeling laugh. Be thou through all imma's sigh along the storm. Thou art artist, so live, so live alone. The path Freely pursue where thy free genius maturing over the fruits of loving thought. Demanding no reward for work achieved. Tis thy self, Thyself thy Judge supreme. No critic's censure more severe than thine. Fashion artist, look upon thy work! Art, thou content! Then let the crowd abuse it. The altar spurn which holds thy sacred fame. And fright in childish, mischief-loving glee. The tripod to overturn, thy throne divine. —Alexandro Sergevitch Poushkin, "Black Byron of Russia." WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Honesty, truthfulness, self-belf, self-reliance, industry, independence, in the use of the ballot, and a saving of our finance will keep the door open and cover up political and commercial graves by those who would destroy the ambition of our people to obtain any position other than that of menial service "Work and Save" is the best motto...The Fishermen's Net. --- The graduates will be more numerous in the coming year than heretofore.

He is thoroughly educated, which cannot be said of but few of the race, because they have not had the opportunity or took the time, and many are tired and found their gray matter to be too limited — The Topka Plaiadealer John Temple Graves, formerly of Georgia, now an editor of the Chicago Examiner, one of William Randolph Hearst papers, recently made a speech somewhere in the East in the interest of Morris Brown College, of Atlanta, Ga., and actually praised our people, so dispatches to the daily newspapers of the city throughout last week. As Graves has been of the Villman, Vardaman and Duxon kind, we can bard believe it.—The Cleveland Gazette. The address delivered by President Taft at the commencement exercises of Howard University last Wednesday was freighted with words and sentiments that rang out clear on this race problem. His address clearly emphasized the fact that he to be a practical friend of the race, one who considers the welfare of the masses being paramount to the welfare of a particular few. The Washington Bee. --- During the last year the Negroes of Cleveland have gone forward in material, social intellectual and religious progress at a rapid pace. There has been unquestioned development along these various times. A great many know about the issues involved, but no effort has been made to impress upon the mind of the people throughout the community, and the country, the enmobering aspect of our progress. The Cleveland Journal. The indulment of Sheriff Greer, of Brookhaven, Miss for unlawful cohabitation with a Negro woman is an advance notice by the best white people in Mississippi. There are no respectable intelligent men resisting white people who approve of the illicit living to gether of white men with Negro women and yet this sort of thing is done nearly everywhere. The Christian Well. We gained something from the Legislature just closed it, at $20,000 appropriation for a Home for noirrigable Girls. In 1955 the Legislature appropriated $15,000 for a Home for noirrigable Girls, and, after the building was erected, the whites added to their stock. White. Innoirrigable Girls without ever gaining "if you please." The Colored Women's Federation who did so much to this result appropriation should still keep up their vigilance until the home is occupied and occupied. The St. Louis Advance.

The firemen's strike on George's armor to a soldier and lost Saturday through the intervention of Christian Knight of the Interior Committee, the Commission and Commission of Luther Noll Jr. appears from the description that the influence of these other officers was thrown to the side of the firemen, and the Negro firemen who were entirely had it not been for determining stand taken by General Manager T K Knott of the railroad who was immovable in this determination to keep the colored firemen in the employ of the road. The Lodge Journal and Guide. President Tetubu Stanton Taft, before his election, did not make a single promise to any of the Negro representatives as to what he would do in the race of his election. He is the President of all the people, and since the Negroes are a part of the people, they too may expect to enjoy some of the privileges derived from the Constitution will not be forced to do that; that will tend to bring discord between the races, but whatever he does will on other hand cultivate a friendly relationship with his white neighbors, as every sensible white man wishes to cultivate similar relations with the best Negro citizens. The President will be the boss of the Negro community as a sort of witness will force or prevent him from doing what he believes to be for the best interest of the Negro. The Lexington Grand ard. We are now in the throes of an industrial crisis. When men attain that degree of intolerance that they desire selfishly to prevent other men from exercising their right to labor in any sphere, lowly and inconspicuous though it may be, times must end undoubtedly by the South. In the South there are certain lines of employment open to white and black alike. But in most cases, there are avenues of advancement open to the white man that are closed to the colored man, even though he earnest, and conscious work he receives the same degree of perfection as any other man. The Georgian Baptist. "PRACTICAL PREACHER" SATAN'S ENEMY. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE We wish to thank you for your timely editorial, so full of sound sense, on "The Practical Preacher," in your May 27 issue. We are wondering when or whether the Negro ministry will ever awaken to the need for a preacher, to write there lie on my desk three catalogues of institutions for the training of Negro ministers. One makes a "hit at" psychology in its curriculum, while all three seem to avoid most industriously anything like purely social subjects. We take it that the humble Nazarene meant that we should have an abundance of that we should in some land of exiles where we still are the sheep of crowns, long white robes "skipping" shoes and milk-white horses," but right now and here, on this end of the route. The above mentioned seminaries pour into their students a flood of obsolete lore concerning the Hittites, Jebusites and Israelites, but when it comes to the Atlantites, the Charlestonites, or the Washingtonians, the Charlestonians rather have these young men preach the "plain (?) Gospel truth" Now, the former peoples are interesting—but dead, while the latter are very much alive The Negro doctor, like other doctors, is finding out that his patients have souls as well as bodies, that Negro farmer is raping his cattle, that Negro farmer natural laws in the production of plant and animal products—is any less expected of the Negro minister in his exiled office? Shall men know more of acquiring the best from mules than they know of making the best of men? If they know the present day makes any practical application of its learning it is usually to tell the younger generation what it ought not to do, thereby developing a body of negative Christians—if, indeed, any Christians at all it is time that the Church of God formulate a code whereby young people will formulate a mind in sound bodies" may he! If she does not the drill is too good a business man to mose the opportunity But the Negro church has an unprecedented opportunity in its chance to save its younger generation if it will only make some social, tangible, every-day application of religion, not for the purpose of making some grand-stay play, but because we need these young people every day to help bear the hurdles to which our race has fallen here. Washington has not only made himself a colossus among men, but he has taught the world something by seizing an opportunity moment and object for benefiting his race. May it not be possible for the Negro ministry to accomplish a like end if it takes advantage of its opportunity to teach the practical application of the vital truths about which an all too large part of the white race is continually vaccinating? The opportunity is there. Will they improve it? Negro Chauhougan Advocate (Criticized) To the Editor of The New York Age Dr. Bellenger, in the recent educational meeting at M. Olivet Church, after making a plea for money to support bible school work in North Carolina, which Prof Shepherd is trying to establish, had the following to say "You people need not worry about living in the South. The bad Negroes who are lunched deserve to die. And we can afford to lose them. White men in the South don't lunch such men as I get along, and they treat me OK. For every Negro launched the white man is trying to educate and save as many more." Any Negro man with a wife and children who can indorse mob violence in any section of this country should be given an opportunity to vacate from the American soil. As a leader and physician he should be given a chance to practice on white mobs and prescribe for all such white people, and not live on that same element with which he seems to have no sympathy. No cultured American who believes in a God, or has any respect for His commandments, which reads, 'Thou shalt not kill,' could utter such words as fell from the lips of Dr. Bellenger on Sunday morning. Are there of my people guilty who are held in New Orleans Piscine, the following to say as for the crimes which Negroes are lynched 'One for carrying a pistol, one for stealing a calf, one a silver dollar, one for disorderly conduct. According to the weather, there were ten lynched in August and one in December, which shows the mob must get warm enough to put to death any innocent man. Why does not Dr Bellinger read the news reports? Why should men be arrested at the stake in Maryland when there is a law to punish the guilty? Why should the heart of Negroes be sold as souvenirs when the American big wives its stars and stripes for free to all men? Why could not 215 robbers in 1822 wait on the law? In 1901 there were 14 male murders which was atrocity for the good of the American people. What is the matter with South Carolina? Who bought a little boy's thirteenth year of age? Why not harm here? How now Orleans has the full law? More than half the causes of male murder have been good with attacks from women. I can never forget that Mark Kelley plea for justice in La Brouilleau La. Perhaps he came from as good a home as Dr Bellinger but went to the gallows for a white woman's gallage. Did Dr Bellinger keep pace with the uncalled for riot in Springfield, Ill? May God very soon call the honor roll in heaven where all such Negroes as Dr Bellenger should answer. God never made any big souls nor any little souls. All are alike before Him, and in due season men "shall reap what they sow". Several standing armies could be formed of the great number of Negroes who have been lynched within the past twenty years (Mrs) A L. THOMPSON WAYTES. New York City. Inne 18. Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia Negroes Get Less Education That Taxes Provide. ARTICLE 11 Once more, complete data in every State is absent. But in at least three States, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, accurate statements are made as to the portion of expenditures given to Negro schools. Putting the question once more, then, Are the Negro schools of Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia a burden to the white taxpayer? Taking Virginia first, the total assessed value of properties in that State in 1908 was $702,503,778. This was listed 74.3% for whites, 3.6% for blacks and 22.1% for railroads and other corporations. Notice especially that 22.1% of all the value listed is neither white nor black. In 1907 Virginia raised for public schools $3,473,048. Of this amount $2,854,971 was raised by State and local taxation, while $450,000 was directly appropriated from the State treasury. The income from the literary fund was $60,127, leaving the sum of $107,050 raised from other sources. If we assume that the schools was raised by taxation, the Virginia raised by taxation for schools in 1907 $3,305,871. But property does not raise all the fund for Virginia schools. The Negroes pay something like $120,000 school poll taxes, after deducting insolvents and commissions. It is fair to assume that some of the literary fund income belongs to the university but what part? Since this fund is neither white nor black, as it was not created by white property, and since Negroes constitute 36% of the population of Virginia, "I take it that they should be given 36% of the income of the literary fund, which amounts to $21,649." The 10 cents State school tax on Negro property after deducting commissions amounted to at least $428,500 more. The same tax on the railroads and other corporations amounted to $155,281,815, an amount which, fairness, does not belong to white children alone. In addition to this Virginia has $1,913,760 raised from cities, counties and districts. To sum up, taking a share commensurate with the population of the State from all sources or funds for schools, the Negro schools would receive. Passing to North Carolina, and using the same method we may conclude that that State lacked $206.59 of giving the Negro schools what was due then for the single year of 1908. In like manner the State of Georgia in 1907 fell behind this apportionment $141-682 54. Once more then, in these three States, the Negro schools are not a burden to the white taxpayer. And as the eleven Southern States are very similar in all their regulations, it is fair to assume that what is true in these three States is generally true throughout the South. You will observe that we always count the Negroes in as a part of our population when we tell the world of our progress in material things. In this connection I wish to call your attention to the comment of two leading Southern papers on the recent exodus of the Negroes from southern Mississippi and northern Louisiana to the Yazoo Delta RICH NEGROES OF OLDEN TIME To the Editor of The Sun. Sir. It suggests beginning all over again this recent address of Professor Booker T. Washington. There is nothing unbound about it quite the contrary. The way for the colored people to make themselves respected by their neighbors is to emulate the white white and before they pose in the social scale and become persons of importance. In telling the colored people to accommodate property as an indispensable president to acquiring social consequence he told that nothing more than they know severely the truth of their situation was that Negroes in the South when the Civil War broke out than there are not only among the highly educated and the very wealthy but among the classes and the attribution of their many of those who were probably at all times well educated protection under the laws and were involved in an amusement of their possessions and services and their progress. The War Defence War indeed they need to protect an old and timeless position in the social scale of the country. The defense and we shall be able to protect and their ablack and future making ways.

THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1909. H. H. ROGERS, LATE FINANCIER BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Tells in Specially Written Article How He First Met Oil Magnate and His Interest in the Race That H. H. Rogers, the great financier, was a friend of the Negro race and contributed large sums to Negro education in the South has been made known by Dr. Booker T. Washington, who recently wrote an article for the New York Evening Post, in which he relates his pleasing experience with the oil magnate The article "The more experience I have of the world, the more I am convinced that the only proper and the only safe way to judge any one is at first hand and by your actual experience. It seems to me that, outside of the immediate members of my family, I knew the late Henry H Rogers during the last fifteen years as well as I could know any one. Of all the men that I have ever known, intimately, no matter what their station in life, Mr. Rogers always impressed me as being among the kindest and gentlest. That was the impression he made upon me the first time I ever met him, and during the fifteen years that I knew him that impression was deepened every time I met him. "I am sure that the members of his family will forgive me for telling, now that he has laid down his great work and gone to rest, some things about him which I feel that the public should know, but which he always forbade me to mention while he lived. "The first time I ever met Mr. Rogers was in this manner: About fifteen years ago, a large meeting held in Madison square (Garden center hall, to obtain funds for the Tuskegee Institute Mr. Rogers attended the meeting, but came late, and as the auditorium was crowded he could not get a seat He stood in the back part of the hall, however, and listened to the speaking "The next morning I received a telegram from him asking me to call at his office. When I entered he remarked that he had been present at the meeting the "hat to be passed," but as that was not done he wanted to "chip in" something Thereupon he handed me ten one-thousand-dollar bills for the Tuskegee Institute. In doing this he imposed only one condition, that the gift should be metioned to no one Later on, however, when I told him that I did not care to take so large a sum of money without some one knowing it, he consented that I tell one or two of our trustees about the source of the gift. "I cannot now recall the number of times that he has helped us, but in doing so he always insists that his brother be overjoyed to enjoy, making gifts in currency An Uninformed Critic. "Once, at least, I was compelled to dishey this injunction, and told about it. A well-known man from the North was visiting the Tuskegee Institute, and as he sat in my office something was said concerning Mr. Rogers. At once this individual began to denounce Mr. Rogers for his selfishness and stinginess. I did not make any reply for some moments, but at last I could not forbear telling him that the building in which we were then sitting was the gift of Mr. Rogers. He seemed to be taken off his feet with astonishment. He did not know Mr. Rogers, and the fact that a man so engrossed in business affairs should find time to interest himself in the fortunes of a Negro school way off in Alabama was entirely out of keeping with the opinion he had formed of him. I grew to know Mr Rogers better his interest in education in the South grew and went beyond Tuskegee. He had assisted Tuskegee before this time, but he was anxious to see the work extended and so at one time he gave me a considerable sum to be used in helping smaller industrial schools in the South. In this way he added I recall, about ten such schools in one year. None of these schools ever knew how ever the curse of the gifts which they received for years ago he asked me to help a scheme by which through a period he could systematically help a number of small rural schools in the South to train better schoolhouses to provide the school terms and be given an extent, industrial training to give into details in regard to the progress of this work except to say that he died all unknown to those who were living his ad, at least with the small country schools were the money he contrib when I never seen him quite when I would make a re- sults the gifts were given to better his shoel of which he was a picture of one new househouses that he newly people to creat he paid to take the New York Univer- sity in the Kuwait During the trip I had but all him more putrefal they chose alone the good way was accomplishment of the people in the South that he was the few family with happiness through the he was able to en- sure the situation and realize that he had been able to do the gifts to these small schools were on condition that the people who needed should do something to help themselves. While the amount of more that Mr. Rogers gave was large, the sum which his gifts led the people to raise on their own account was still larger. In this way he made his gifts do the people a double service, since they not only had better schools, but they at the same time, felt that they had obtained them to some extent as a result of their own efforts and sacrifices. Im New York. "I saw Mr Rogers frequently when I was in New York. No matter how busy he was, or how much his name was being handled about in public conversations in which he was understood and often abused, he always had time and seemed glad to see me, and he always seemed very happy to take time to hear my report of the progress of the work he was adding. "Only a few days before Mr Rogers passed away. I had an extended interview with him in his office, when he arranged for me to make a trip over his new Virginia railway, for the purpose of studying the conditions of the colored people along the routes, and of devising some stenets by which he might educate and in the development of the educational life. It seemed to me that he was quite as much interested in the possibility of helping the people along the line of his railroad as he was in completing the road itself "I remember asking Mr Rogers once, in what way he got the most enjoyment out of life. He replied that it was in hard work, in doing good, and getting caught at it. And yet, one could not think of Mr Rogers as being a slave to business. I remember that the remarked to me once that he pitted a man who had no resources outside the hard, daily routine and could find no relaxation except in business. He pitied that man, he once told me, who could not enjoy literature and the friendship of literary men. Office Incidents. "He seemed to get a great deal of enjoyment out of doing the little unexpected things for people. For example, he had in his office three or four bright young colored men who served as messengers. He saw in some of my writings the following sentence "I believe that any man's life will be filled with constant and unexpected encouragements, if he makes up his mind to do his level best each day—that is, tries to make each day as nearly as possible reach the high-water mark of pure, unselfish and useful living." At once he made arrangements for this sentence to be put in an attractive form and given to the colored boys, so that it would be near them as they worked in his office day after day. Another incident, which illustrates the kindness and gentleness of Mr Rogers's disposition, happened in connection with his plan to which I have already referred of aiding a number of country schools to obtain better school buildings and prolong their school terms. "In order to stimulate the work of raising funds among the country people, we started a little country newspaper. In this paper, we printed, among other things, the names of all those who contributed anything toward the local community school fund. I remember the first time I showed him a copy of this little paper it contained an account of a school rally in which the farmers of one little community had gotten together and had raised, as I remember, something like one hundred dollars. He smiled as he began reading the account of this school rally, described in the true language of a country correspondent. It was interesting to watch the expression on his face as he read down the long column of figures, which showed how, out of their small earnings every one seemed to have contributed something to support the little school. Before he had finished, the tears came to his eyes, and he seemed more deeply touched than I had ever seen him. "Such a man was Henry H Rogers as I have known him. He was one of the best and the greatest men I have ever met, and as it seems to me, one of the greatest men of his day and age and he has left many lessons he hind him which others can follow to their profit."

Brown Celebrates Seventh Anniversary at Ebencester. Regular Correspondence of The Age. PITTIBURG, Pa., June 15—Rev. S. A. Virgil, pastor Warren M. E. Church, preached a powerful sermon last Sunday that is causing his name to be discussed throughout the city. He preached from Revelation III:20, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." After reviewing the early struggles and accomplishments of the Church, Rev Virgil spoke of battles yet to be fought and victories to be won. He said the Church needs better support from our professional men; people naturally look up to our men who have gone through college and have prepared themselves for leadership; but that too many of our men thus fitted for life's battles seemingly forget their obligations to God and their race. Rev Virgil then spoke of professional men whose lives were exemplary before coming to Pittsburgh; some were school teachers and engaged in uplifting the race in the South and West, but after coming to this section they seemingly lost all their religious zeal and all interest in the race except the practice of their professions That if, instead of spending so much time in club rooms, these men could be persuaded to commit themselves to some church and Sunday school, the race and the community would be benefited After praising John D. Rockerfeller, H J. Heinz, Joseph Horne and other millionaires of national and local reputation for Christian work, Rev. Virgil made a plea to Pittsburgh's professional men to emulate the lives and characters of America's best citizens. The seventh anniversary services of Rev W W Brown's pastoral charge here were witnessed at Ebenezer last Sunday. The subject discussed at Ebenezer Sunday school was the "Power of the Tongue" Mr. Monroe E Morse is the superintendent. It is interesting to witness how readily little children find and read Bible references. Dr W H Moses, of Washington, D C, preached the anniversary sermon. At 4 o'clock Rev. Brown delivered his last lecture of the season to men only. The 745 p m service of songs and speeches from different members were enjoyed by all who witnessed it. Deacon Bowers, one of the oldest members of the church, earnestly told of the church's early struggles. He closed by speaking of the pastor's attitude to church and officers, which he said had always been pleasant and agreeable. He declared Rev Brown had done more for the church than any pastor the church ever had. Monroe E. Morse, E. C. Alexander and John M Clay each made speeches. Mr Moore, who represented the Sunday school, at the close of his speech preached the pastor a perse of $5.03 which was given by the school. The total collection was $163 65. Mrs G H Bolling, wife of Dr Bolling, delivered a lecture last week at Shiloh Baptist Church on "Personal Sacrifice for Others." The lecture was given under the auspices of the Married Women's Culture Club Miss Ella Wood, of St. Augustine, Fla., was in the city last week, the guest of Mrs Bolling. It is reported that Miss Wood left so impressed with the "Smoky City" that she will return in a few months to make this her permanent home. Dr W H Christian, one of the city's most representative and prosperous doctors, is arranging to make some additions to his offices. Mrs B E Mason, president of the Beulah Dormitory, an organization of women whose object is to rescue fallen women, is making efforts to enlarge the usefulness of her society. Mrs Mason is founder of the Temporary Home for Friendless Children and is identified with many organizations whose object is to unlift our people.

A humble collation was served. A the meeting had closed. The public rictal given by the pupils of Miss Castle Frances Banks on Thursa- day evening, June 10, was a very creditable affair. Mrs. J. V. Benzard, of 24 Camp street, gave a pretty dinner and dance at her home in honor of Mr. Wm. Harris, of Baltimore, Md., who graduated this year from Brown, A. B. Among the out-of-town guests were Mr. Wm.

Taylor, of Pawtucket, is seen about town. laws with the fifteenth amendment, helped to give courage and effect to the better sentiment which long controlled that State and is now coming to its own again. "From this time forward all who come to the age to vote, whether white or black, will be subject to the same educational test. It is true that during the ten years past many illiterate whites have registered, while the blacks have been excluded; but we can afford to let the dead past bury its dead while we go forward to better things. I have so much confidence in the honesty of the people of North Carolina that I should not be willing to doubt that the law will be administered according to its letter and spirit; that every black man who is qualified according to law to vote will be permitted to do so, and that those white men who are not qualified will not vote. "I think that the worst has passed; that the prospect before us is bright, and a better sentiment prevails. I do not wish to be understood as depreciating agitation. Cesseless vigilance is still the price of liberty. Those who have the gift to agitate in a reasonable and effective way should still pursue their calling in the interest of the race; but they should do it in a gentlemanly and dignified manner. One dignified, intelligent and reasonable argument is worth more than a hundred bitter harangues in which personalities are indulged. The reason on the other side has as much right as the opinion as I have to mine; and the same right has his opinion respected if he sets it forth in a reasonable and respectful manner. Our leaders need to study the lesson which the President is urging on the South, the freedom of thought and speech and action. "There are two forces in the universe, both of which are useful. There are two forces which keep the earth in its orbit while traveling around the sun; one of which keeps it from tumbling into the sun, the other keeps it from flying off into unlimited space. If we were all conservatives we should come to a standstill; if we were all radicals we should break our necks. What we need is reasonable thought, speech and action." "The young people who waste their time in sight-sseeing, performing social functions and playing the 'gentleman of leisure' when they have nothing to back such a course of life, except what they get by their wicked wits or the indulgence of hard-working parents, ought not to be encouraged. In our condition we cannot afford to waste anything. The demand is INDUSTRY and PRIVILEGY. We should make use of what we can make honestly and spend it only in useful wavs. We need to get well rooted in the buy land and build houses and cultivate the land and become large owners and large taxpayers. A people who thus build themselves up can no more be kept down than the sun can be stopped from shining." The ALLEN HOUSE.

There were many present who refused to attempt answering such a question as it was even a difficult matter for the Frogs themselves to decide until a late hour as to which crowd was the larger. However, after the deliburion and the expenditure of much energy the counting of tickets, etc. being considered a tedious occupation these hot days, it was decreed that the second annual frolic came out ahead of the first frolic from a standpoint of attendance by an eyelash Wonderful to tell the frogs were favored with good weather being the first to enjoy such a happy realization this season. Since early in April every large entertainment given has been prominently associated with rain. Not the mists, dazzling varieties but that species which necessitates the wearing of raincoats and the carrying of umbrellas and which forecasts a shim attendance, if any. Heretofore, on each evening an entertainment of general interest has been scheduled to take place there has been a heavy downpour of rain. Last Monday evening the Frogs broke the hoodoo, and future organizations may book forward to experiencing good weather While it is true that the Frogs are enthusiastic patrons of water, their progenitors being known to spend much of their time in the wet, wet aqua, yet June 14 was one time when they were not over particular about seeing one tiny drop of water making its way to terra firma from the threatening clouds above. "Threatening clouds" can be correctly used in this instance, for that brand of a visible vapor was considerate enough to present itself for a time, causing some to conclude that the evening would probably join the many others that had gone before in furnishing a rain supply that would keep many at home and cause lamentations in the swamp of the Frogs. Incidentally the writer deems it in order to relate that each member of the Frogs is suffering from an attack of a new affliction known as the "ranitis," a soreness of the neck occasioned by one constantly gazing upward for hours with a view to determining whether it is going to rain. From early Monday morning until after 9 o'clock in the evening not one Frog, but each and every one of them, stood aerial duty in various parts of the city. At a recent meeting one of the members of the organization made a motion that a committee be appointed to wait upon the weather man and obtain his views on the weather for June 14, but his proposition was voted down, at being the opinion of the majority that the weather prophet's advice could be had for one cent by purchasing a paper, which was done. Last Monday evening was probably the first time this season that the pleasure seekers of Greater New York were given an opportunity to wear their warm weather costumes. The weather has been a little backward for the wearing of gowns made of pongee, lingerie and batiste goods by the members of the fair sex, and the sporting of light tunic suits by the male contingent. But the frost mer costume are opportunities to wear them, and from all appearances, every person had a new "front" thereby advancing the thought that the clothes of heavier material had been relegated to the trunks of the comber halls. The large crowd in a pretty picture with the female merry makers crying the 1000 pounds of the lingeries which they seemed to take delight in waving at another shoe-wearing wise. The majority of the women were small frogs and other souvenirs which had been poured on them by charming young ladies of theatrical profession While dancing as advertised was the feature of the evening's entertainment, the singing and plying of the "torreaders" in the garden came in for a large amount of consideration. The garden seemed to be a favorite trysting place for the Romes and Julietts, and it is said that not only were numerous declarations of undying love made, but that the public will soon be informed of several engagements, all resulting from little tete-a-tetes in the "Garden of Love." At this year's frolic Boston, Baltimore and Providence were well represented, and the Oranges, Newark, Jersey City, Yonkers, New Rochelle and adjacent cities, Hoboken not excepted, respectively sent its usual quota of patrons. Yes, as usual, the frolic lasted from twilight till dawn. It was not quite dawn wily — writer left Manhattan Casino, orchestra was JAUGY A Familiar Sight at the "Frolic of the Frogs" cording to reports, it was away past dawn when the musicians were given a rest Thanks to the weather, the second annual frolic of the Frogs was a big success, and the members are now enthusiastically declaring "Talk about your frolics, but oh, you Frogs."

The music lovers of Boston were given a rare treat on Tuesday evening, June 5 when the Chaminade Club held its closing meeting at Parker Memorial Hall. Each member invited a limited number of friends, and about 110 guests were present. Much credit is due Mrs. Edna Brown Bagall, the president, for to her arduous efforts the success of the club is due. Her interesting paper on the organization and its motive to promote the study of music and along what lines the club is working was interesting Mrs. J. H. Lewis gave a brief resume of the work during the term. The chorus, under the direction of Mme Nellie Brown Mitchell, demonstrated what an accomplished leader can do in the art of training voices in a very short time. The musical part of the program was very entertaining as a whole, while the vocal solos by Mrs. Edna Bagall, Misses Grant and Smith and the instrumental solos by Mrs. Frea Rosa Hutchins, Mrs. Maud Hare, Miss Georgine Glover and Miss Effie Walt were of an especially high order. The ladies were all handsomely gowned and the stage was decorated with palms and cut flowers. At the close of the program dainties, frappe and cake were served. The program, which was arranged by Miss Genevieve Lee the efficient chairman of the board of musical directors, was as follows Remarks by Mrs. Edina Bagnall president, song.

Where the writer attacks more than ordinary significance is when an attempt was made to draw the color line some of the children apodictic describing that the were opposed to Negro writing, the letters Berger and Pittsburg must be getting the Negroiah badly! One thing that can be scaled up to date, whether it be his/her 'pup' in coming or what not it is set out that we attempt to draw the 'pup' from his fur is whether a total person should be permitted to be present or as to where he should be seated. However, as they are the criminating in the attire in Pittsburg, and it goes without saying in the church etc, it is perhaps in order that many of the whites are now strong against a colored man sitting at a fight and witnessing two men brutally batter each other up. This is why the clubmen of Pittsburg desire to draw the color line, according to the dispatches: The reason for the row is that the rich clubmen of this city, who have just begun to patronize boxing and are making it a success, have decided they will not attend a fight where there is a chance they will be seated next to a colored man. They will not take in the Jeffries-Berger six-round mill it Johnson and the Immense following of Pittsburg Negroes come. As matters stand now the prices are too high for the ordinary Pittsburg Negroes there in chance of see- Miller Musician at Newark. NEWARK, N. J., June 15.—Despite the inclement weather on Sunday afternoon last a large audience was in attendance at St. John's M. E. Church Literary Organization. The program was rendered by Prof Miller and his musical family, and was of a high order. The organ chimes solo by Miss Miller was artistic, her technique being excellent Master Felix Miller, aged seven, played on seven different instruments to the great pleasure of the audience Prof and Mrs Miller and their other three sons rendered other selections. The audience were loud in their praise of the Miller family. Mr and Mrs Chas H. Johnson, of 90 Congress street, were given a surprise Tuesday evening, June 15, by their many friends. It was the eleventh anniversary of their marriage. They were the recipients of many handsome presents. The sudden death of Mrs Frances King wint at Loch D King, was a great shock to her many friends. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon from her late residence, to Newark street. Rev. Faber pastor of St John's M. Church, Orange, obituated, is served by Rev. Eggleston of Plane Street Presbyterian Church. The interment was Resdale Cemetery. Mrs King was active in church work and a teacher in the Sunday School of St John's.

Philadelphia Giants Win Two Games Knowing that Ligan, the crack pitcher of Fordham College, who, on Sundays plays with his teammates on the Hoboken nine, was to leave this week and join the Cincinnati Reds, the Philadelphia Giants last Sunday agreed among themselves at Meyerrose Park to show the young twirler that he was not such a much and doubtless succeeded in realizing their aim, as they defeated the Hobos by the score of 10-1.

Arrangements were made to interest all members of the colored clergy here in the movement Heretofore the Negro ministers of Baltimore have done but little in the matter of visiting the jail, penitentiary, orphan asylums and reformatories, and in the future the Ministerial Alliance is likely to give a large amount of attention to such work The annual class day exercises of the High and Training School took place on last Friday evening in Sharp street Memorial Church. The church was crowded with a most interested audience, and the young people of the class of 1909 most delightfully entertained their relatives and friends The "Alumni" medal was awarded to Miss Margaret Williams.
