Scott, the only Negro member of the Commission, expresses itself as having received every possible consideration at the hands of Cap'n Wilson of the "Chester," and Cap'n Howard of the "Birmingham," have been a guest on both cruisers with fellow commissioners. Commission-Scott was not willing to discuss all the result of the visit of the commission. Liberia, but consented give out a few generalities for the sight of friends in this country who wish to know how the Commission was received by the people of the Black Republic across the sea. He loud in praise of the hospitality the Liberians and of all with whom came into contact during absence on the United States in speaking of the trip to an Acz presentation he said. Of the results of the work of the Commission, I am not of course, privately to speak at the Commission is reported in conclusions first of all to President of the United States.ough Mills, Secretary of State may say regardless, that that we are reckoned with Monrovia with every constitution of good will, and in fact, never the Commission went the peo-we were mistrusted in their expresions, unfolded in the fervor of their criticism. Cannon bonned a welcome THE NEW everywhere, flags were unfurled, the military was called out, and marched and countermarched in review, while the National and local officials did all they could to show their appreciation of the generosity of the government of the United States in sending a special Commission to report upon conditions in their country Commission Covere Much Ground. "We spent three weeks in Monrovia alone," continued Commissioner Scott, and during that time did a vast amount of work, attended more receptions than we could well afford, representatives interviewed national, local and foreign consular officials and representatives of the various trading interests, with headquarters at Monrovia. Much ground was covered by the Commission after the conclusion of the negotiations at the capital. I chartered a special boat and went up the St. Paul's River to see something of the agricultural life of the people, visits being made to Arthington, White Plains, Zoerville and Bensonville. The nature of the receptions at each of these places partook of the same general character as at Monrovia and other places. The people sang "My Country, Tis of Tree." "The Sar-Spangled Banner," he besides presenting us with addresses from civic and other organizations. On May 29 the parts left Monrovia, half of it consisting of Chairman Laukner, Secretary Finch and Capt. Clomander on the "Chester" to Sirce Leone and from there two and a half days' travel to the seat of the boundary disputes between Great Britain and Laberia, and the other part of the Commission. Dr Sake Maj Ashburn, Mr Flower and myself—went South to Grand Bassa, the most important commercial point on the Liberian Coast, and to Cape Palmas, the southernmost Liberian point. From Grand Bassa this party went for visits to the towns of Lower ER THAT CONVEYED THE COM and Upper Buchanan, Edna, and other centers of population and trade, and from Cape Palmas to the Cavally River to the seat of the boundary disputes between France and Liberia. In the meantime, the "Chester" had gone on to Dakar to coal. My half of the party on the Birmingham reached Freetown, Sierra Leone, as the other party was returning from the interior. On the evening of June 7 the three Commissioners were entertained at the Government House, Freetown, by Governor L. Probnyn, and after a couple of prolonged interviews with him, the whole party took leave, embarking on the Birmingham. On the evening of June 10 the two ships met by appointment at a rendezvous at sea, off Dakar, and the three Commissioners and Secretary Finch were again transferred to the "Chester," upon which we remained until we reached the United States. The scout cruiser Salem joined us at Las Palmas, Canary Islands. We had a delightful stay of four days there and then passed on to Funchal, Madera, certainly one of the most delightful spots, I can easily imagine, on the face of the earth. I was thrilled by the beauty of the place and marveled at the ingenuity of the Portuguese, who get all that can be gotten out of every foot of land of the massive mountain, which rises to a height of nearly 6,000 feet at the highest point Terracing and irrigation are brought to near perfection by these resourceful people, who raise everything out of the soil, and whose entire habitat is a ventable fairyland of flowers. They have a fine cultivated taste for the aceruleus and possess a natural music. I spent a couple of days at Mdeira off ship at Monte Palace Hotel, 1,800 feet up the mountain side, and made an excursion by horseback to the top of the highest point for a view of the justly-famed Grand Curral "On Wednesday, May 23, the three ships lifted anchor at 7 o'clock in the morning, and together steamed across the broad Atlantic, reaching Newport on July 1. There the Chester and Birmingham disembarked their passengers, the Salem proceeding to Boston.

Special to The New York Age OKOLONA, Miss., July 5 — With enthusiasm that ran high, the State Business League opened its ninth annual session here June 30 and closed Thursday evening. July 1, with a roaring banquet, the session was voted a big success and throughout the convention the slogan was "On to Louisville in August with a big delegation from Mississippi." Men and women engaged in all kind of business in the State took advantage of the reduced rates and attended the session. The advance guard began to till the town early Tuesday morning and by Thursday hundreds were on and by take part in what was considered the largest event ever held by the State body. More than three more towns and cities were presented. The league was called to order by C. W. Gilliam third vice president. After invocation by Key J. J. Johnson, Hon H. L. Morton, Mayor of Oklahoma, was introduced. Unwilling to entrench far upon their time, the Mayor expressed himself as highly pleased with MMISSION TO LIBERIA the movement, and bade them God's speed and welcome to the city The Mayor was followed by Hon F J McDonnell, who welcomed the league on behalf of the white citizens, C W Carter, on behalf of the local league, and Rev A A Battle on behalf of the churches and education. After the responses by T G Ewing, Vicksburg, C A Green, Holly Springs, W J Latham, Jackson, the real program of the session began. The program for the morning consisted of the following numbers. "The Grocery Business," by M M. Clemons, of Newton, "A Minister, Who is Also a Farmer," by J H Bufford, of Rosedale, "Contracting and Building," by W J LaCurer, of Greenwood, remarks by Geo Bradford, of Greenville, remarks by W H Chandler, of Indhana, "Are Our Lawyers Succeeding in Mississippi?" S A Beadle, of Jackson, remarks by J E Walker, of Gunnison, remarks by N S Taylor, of Breville, "Developing A Negro Community?" by H H King, of Yazoo City, "Report of Organizer," V L Reuben, of Bolton Speakers from Thirty Different Communities. The subjects for the evening and for Thursday were market, covering the whole range of business and industry, real estate, banking, merchandising, harbering, draying, life insurance, manufacturing, farming, practicing medicine and shoemaking. Not only this variety of subjects was discussed, but each speaker, in most cases, represented a different community, making about thirty communities to speak from the platform. The notable fact about all the speakers was not their remarks, excellent and helpful though the latter were, but that throughout the State these men were known as belonging to the "$10,000 class" of owners of property and real estate Nothing is more marvelous than the growth and consolidation of the league in this State Beginning five years ago, it has so pushed its way in every direction that now there is intimate touch, a feeling of commercial brotherhood, among the Negro business men of every town and city in the State The Negro business man in Vicksburg knows what the Negro business men and prominent men of Jackson, Meriel Growwood, Bayon, Aberdeen, and small town communities such as Tupelo, Vogtburgh Rosedale Enterprise and Macon are doing. In all these towns and communities the Negro is concentrating his attention on some one pursuit, making a success of it, and joining hands through the league with other enterprising colored men of the State Well might enthusiasm run high and a little strut of vanity appear here and there among these well-to-do men, who even in such large numbers felt that they --- were merely among their peers. Wisely, too, does the National League set apart a whole day in the August meeting to be known as "Mississippi Day," for this State league in growth, in concentration, in general advancement, heads the list. As the various speakers hold of their success in grocery business, in life insurance, pharmacy, real estate, shoe-making and in farming, their gradually gained force the spirit of On to Louisville to the meeting of the National Business Men's League. Mississippi big here in her own State she will show how she she overtops other States in a large delegation and in Business even down in Col Wutterson's land of nightriders and bluegrass PROF. BAXTER HONORED Former Pupils and Fridays Present Principal Witb Watch and Fob. Special to The New York Age. NEWARK, N. J. July 7 — East Friday, at the Commerce street college public school, a fitting chinax terminated the official career of Prof James M. Baxter, who for forty five years has guided the intellectual destines of thousands of familias of his race. It is given to few men who have had the burdens of public life that privilege of hiring to lay down their duties and yet retain un-suilled a reputation so marked by affectionate regard and esteem as was shown to the retiring principal at the close of his life's work. Such was the honor bestowed upon Mr Baxter by old and young folks, pupils of two generations and over, many now whom he had tutored are grand-mothers and grandfathers. Over two hundred of his old pupils, friends and well-wisers crowded into the school, which, by a strange coincidence, was the temple to which first begin, educational labors with escaped slaves and others of mature years who were unable to read the letter "A" from "Z" but by his salient and loveable disposition and characteristics have returned to give him thanks for the opportunities thus gained by his tutelage. After several scholars had received their graduation papers and the last word has been said by their beloved principal in the way of admonition, a recess was taken, and at a later hour the citizens en masse turned in to do him honor A special program under the efficient management of Mme. Minnie Johnson was contributed by professional musicians composed of Professors M. L. Van Dyke, Boston Parvis, Jr., G. John Johnson, John P. O. Flake, Edwin Townsend and Mme. Johnson. Solomon dedered by Prof. A. Sarah White, after which addresses were made by the following trends W. Paxton, M. Bonfield,ames M. Miller Dr. Jas. M. Wormle, James J. H. M. E. Scotland, J. W. Freeman, F. Voorhees, Rev. Jas. A. Churchman and Louis A. Sears. Rev Churchman in a characteristic speech paid fitting compliment to Mrs. Baxter and her children, extolling her excellent tact, patience and support afforded Prof Baxter during the long years of his trying labors. A handsome open-faced gold watch, with a jeweled Masonic fob, was presented to Prof Baxter by Rev Churchman, who gave Mme. Johnson due credit for the popular result in raising by a voluntary subscription for the purchase of the watch and charm Prof Baxter thanked his friends for their warm and loyal remembrance and referred to pupil Mme. Bonfield made a mark the business, professional and social life of the State and other cities as one of the prides of his life, also to his faithful teachers, who have been faithful in their duties to the end, among whom were the Misses Olive A Mathews, M Hamilton and Grace Baxter A letter was read from the members of the James M Baxter Association congratulating him on his creditable career The signers were E Johnson, James M Muller, Justice Scotland, Geo A Douglas, Chas Nevins, M Cannard, Willis Roberts, Louis A Sears, Dr. Jas A Wormley Prof Baxter retires on a salary of $1,400 a year for life WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6 — The fiscal year which has just closed was, according to a statement made a few days ago by Recorder of Deeds Dancy, a record-breaker in several instances. In the first place, just 1,435 more instruments, exclusive of incorporation papers, were filed for record than in any previous year in the history of that office, 22,022 such instruments being filed, as against 21,487 for the fiscal year of 1906, the previous largest year. In the month just closed 2,478 instruments other than incorporation papers were recorded, the previous largest month being April of this year, when 2,254 were filed. June beating the monthly record by 224 instrument records was also another record-breaker, these amounting to $39,717,177, larger by $3,711,47 than in 1907, the previous largest year, and greater by $4,810,92 than in 1908. The unexpended balance for the year was $10,930,67, another record-breaker, that amount exceeding the balance at the close of 1907, the largest up to that time, by $1,191,83, and exceeding the balance turned in last year by $3,065,45 Nagasar Make Good Firstman Negroes Make Good Firemen. ATLANTA, Ga. July 5—During the taking of testimony in the Georgia Railroad strike, W K Smith, general superintendent of the Atlantic Coat Line Railroad, stated that Negroes did not have sufficient presence of mind to be good engineers. As firemen, however, he said they are both intelligent and capable. General Manager Thomas K. Scott, of the Georgia Railroad, testified that the Georgia Railroad had no reason to complain of the services of the Negro firemen in its employ, some of whom had served the road faithfully for years. MANY STATES REPRESENTED At Annual Session of The National Association of Teachers Valuable Suggestions Made—Anti- Tuberculosis Society To Be Formed—To Meet Next Year In Oklahoma City Special to Tug New Dong Age. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE ASHEVILLE, N.C., July 3—The National Association of Teachers in Colored schools held its sixth annual session here June 24, 24, and 25. In both attendance and interest this proved the largest and best meeting yet held in the history of the organization. Representatives, including delegates from twenty-two states and the District of Columbia were present. From beginning to end the program was full of interest, and gave out facts and suggestions which will no doubt bear abundant fruit in the various states and communities from which the delegates came. The opening meeting on Wednesday evening, June 23, was given up to wellcome addresses, and responses, together with the President's annual address. The welcome to the city was extended by the Superintendent of the schools in Asheville. Mr. Thei who, in a most amiable manner, expressed the delight of the white citizens of the city in having the Association hold its sixth annual session in Asheville. Mr. Thei told of the interest and progress in education in North Carolina, making especial mention of local option, the idea of compulsory education in North Carolina having for its beginning the city of Asheville, which has a compulsory educational law, requiring every child white and black, to attend the public school. Appropriate Welcome Addressee. A further welcome address was delivered by Dr. J. W Walker, one of the leading Negro physicians of Asheville Dr. Walker throughout his address was eloquent in the praise of the liberality of the citizen in the village. In fitting manner, he also paid a tribute to the work of the teacher, and to the aristocracy of thought and learning; whether that learning be in white or black, rich or poor, Prof. T. S. I. Brazelton, president of the State Teacher, Association, and president of the Joss K. Brick School of Enfield, N. C, welcomed the teachers on behalf of the State Association. Prof Inborden told in a most befitting manner of the resources of North Carolina, especially the educational resources and products. The welcome addresses were responded to by Prof J H A Brazelton, principal of Douglass High School, Oklahoma City, Okla. Prof Brazelton after accepting the words of welcome, paid a glowing tribute to the work of the teacher, and then gave himself up to the laying out of the opportunities in education and otherwise, furnished by the West, and especially the state of Oklahoma. In this response, he told the story of the coming of the Oklahoma delegation, that it had as one of its first purposes the taking of the Association to the new Oklahoma state Further response was given by Prof N J Frederick, supervisor Howard High School, Columbia, S C Prof Frederick regarded South Carolina's cause too well known for him to take much time telling of the excellencies of that great state He, however, told of the work in education, and the splendid efforts being made by the State Teachers' Association under the leadership of Prof J L Cain The closing address of the evening was given by President R R Wright, who took as his theme "The Teacher as a Factor in Race Efficiency" Prof Wright's address was earnest, eloquent, and practical He especially made a plea for, work outside of the school room for the teacher At the close of the meeting a canvass was made, and at the first sitting it was found that seventeen states and the District of Columbia had representatives Teachers Take Notes from Addresses. Thursday morning, June 23rd, was given up largely to the discussion of public schools Every person on the program, with one exception, was present, and delivered most interesting and valuable papers Prof W H Singleton, principal grammar school, Chattanooga, Tenn, told of the necessity of vocational training in our grammar school courses This vocational training was especially emphasized by Prof Singleton from the fact that a large number of our students go no farther than the grammar schools, and therefore should get some helpful suggestions for the work to which they are to give the lives of Prof J H Garvin, president of the colored schools, Winchester, Ky told most interesting of his methods of doing work in agriculture in the colored public schools of his city Perhaps no better progress along these lines has been made in public schools, white or colored, than is evidenced by the work in the city of Winchester A large number of the teachers expressed themselves as taking away valuable notes from this actual experience This paper was followed, first by Dr J H Dillard president of the Anna T Jeanes Rural school fund, who told of the conditions of the rural schools throughout the South especially Dr Dillard explained clearly the methods of the Jeanes Fund Board, and spoke of the number of schools that had been helped in the various states during the past year Following Dr Dillard was a paper by Superintendent Charles L. Coon of the city schools of Wilson, N.C., on "Some Suggestions for the Improvement of Rural Schools" Among the many suggestions, was the one especially, that the teacher should have a home and live in the school community and at the school house, and that his home should be a model home for the entire community and for the children who come each day to get help for life. Prof Coon has worked for many years in the interest of both the Negro and the white schools of North Carolina, and proved himself full of the very best suggestions and advice for the improvement of the Negro schools throughout the country. Teachers Tell Experiences. At this point the Association was given over to informal experiences on developing city and country schools. The first experience was given by Miss Virginia Randolph of Glen Allen, Va. who taught for sixteen years in one school in that village, and since that time has been made Superintendent of the Colored Schools of Henrico County Va. Miss Randolph told of her 190 visits during the past year to the twenty-two schools which she superintendent She also told of the splendid work in building houses, making walks, improving school houses, and putting in domestic science and manual training and told on the plan on the part of the county school board of Henrico County to intrust a room for domestic science to every school which through its own efforts raised the money to buy a cooking stove and other equipments. In almost every one of the twenty-two schools the money has already been raised for the equipment, and now the Superintendent is planning to construct the additional rooms. Mr C J Lalloway, of Tuskegee Institute, who is in charge of the rural school extension work of Macon County and the adjoining counties in Alabama, told of the forty-two new school houses that had been built within the past two years in Macon County and that more than $5,000 that had been raised by the people themselves, through school farms, rallies, etc. A number of other persons took part in this formal discussion, giving experiences of actual work done. Form Anti-Tuberculosis Society. On Thursday evening, Prof. N B Young, President State College, Tallahassee, Fla., gave an address on "Education; An Evolution of Life," which was most efficient, and showed with the culture of the intellect and the broadening of thought what could be accomplished in our educational efforts. An address by Dr. C. Stephens of the Public Health and Marine Hospital, Washington, D. C., on the subject of the Prevention of the Spread of Tuberculosis, was Drs. Dunn and Minor, and specialists on the subject, also gave addresses. These addresses were full of practical suggestions for the care of health among our people. At the conclusion of the addresses a resolution was offered, and a committee was appointed with a view of formulating at our next annual, session, a National Anti-Tuberculosis Society among the Negroes. Friday's program, as was true of Thursday's, was carried out almost to the letter Prof J H Jackson, president Ky N & I I, Frankfort, Ky. spoke on the subject of the "Significance of the A M Colleges Throughout the Country," while Prof R R Taylor, Director Mechanical Industries, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., set forth clearly in a paper "The Aims of Technical Training." This paper showed that the aims of technical training were far wider than the preparation of the student for the making of a living. Prof J A Wilson presented a paper on "A Suggestive and Practical Training Course for Teachers." In this Prof Wilson dwelt upon the necessity of th'training being something of a social character as well as theory and text book quality. The necessity of a college training was made the subject for general discussion, being led by such strong men as Dr. Roberts, of Shaw University, Dr Brawley, of Morris College, and Prof Townes, of Atlanta University. The teacher in the business and economic life of the community was treated fully and most practically by Prof L J Rowan, president A & M College, Alcorn, Miss Prof Rowan made it clear, that the teacher through his teaching in the school room, as well as b y this contact in the community life should be a strong influence and help in the business and management of the affairs of the community I Meet in Oklahoma City Next Year. The closing session on Friday evening was given up to an address by Dr R R Wright, Jr. editor and business manager of the A M E Publishing House, Philadelphia, Pa, who presented a paper on "The Teacher as a Missionary. From a wide study of social problems in the city of Philadelphia, Dr Wright showed instance after instance of the real true missionary spirit of the teacher. After his address and a most spirted contest as to where the association would go next year, the contest being entered into by representatives from Indianapolis, Chattanooga, and Oklahoma, the Oklahoma delegation won out by a large majority, and the vote was made unanimous to go to Oklahoma city in 1910. On Thursday afternoon the entire delegation of the association was taken through the vast Vanderbilt estate, and on Friday evening a reception was given by the local committee. Few changes were made in the officers of the association. Telegrams were received from every president and educator who could not be present, and from the conductors of Summer Institute, that were in session, and from white friends interested in the education among the colored people. Among these, was a most suggestive and helpful letter from Dr. G. S. Dickerman, agent of the Slater Bank Fund. Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS Decision of the Board in Georgia Railroad Strike To Stand Almost Unanimous in Opinion That Decision Was Not Only Fair But Very Timely Declares the Board Made a.Wise J.Declalon, Which Will Prevent Calamitous Results in The South. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE ATLANTA, GA, July 6—In this section of the country the Negroes are not through enthusing over the recent decision of the Arbitration Board in the Georgia railroad strike case, in which the Negro firemen won a big victory over the white firemen. While the latter are chagrimed over the tindings of the board, which announced itself opposed to the semoirity of white firemen over Negroes, they have concluded that if an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court the board would be upheld. The newspapers of the South in commenting on the decision have thrown aside all political prejudices, and in the main applaud the action of the board in demanding industrial equality for both the white and the black workmen. Many papers declare that the findings of the court were not only just but timely, as a movement was on foot to arrest the industrial progress of the Negro of the South. One of the strongest editorials on the termination of the strike was published a few days ago by the Montgomery Advertiser under the heading of "A Wise Decision," as follows "The decision of the arbitrators in the case of the Georgia Railroad and the striking firemen under the terms of the Erdman law will be final unless appeal is taken to the Supreme Court. It has been given out that neither side will appeal, and, therefore, the matter may be considered as definitely settled. There was practical unanimity in the board, as Congressman Hardwick, the writer, chose to the firemen, agreed to everything except the clause which recognized the employment of Negroes as firemen. To a part of this he agreed, viz., the payment to Negro firemen of the same wages as paid to white firemen holding that the main reason on the part of railroad authorities for hiring Negro firemen was the lower rate of pages paid to them. This inducement gone, Mr. Hardwick held, that the roads would be more apt to hire white firemen on the score of greater intelligence for the same cost. --- Whites Raising Imaginary Difficulties One of the leaders of the firemen, however, who occupies an official position, comes out with the statement that a possible effect of the decision will be not the raising of wages of Negroes, but lowering those of the white men. This is of the spirit that desires to perpetuate rather than allay strife. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" and it is better to await developments than to be raising imaginary difficulties. The great point in the decision is that which repudiates the claim of the white firemen working on the Georgia Railroad, that no Negro firemen should be employed. That policy would at once stop the claim of the Southern people that Negroes have better chance for work and livelihood in the South than anywhere else. They have always been employed in the capacity of firemen on railroads and only recently has there been any objection raised by white men, and so far as we know only on the Georgia road. There is some reason for believing that if this movement had been successful it would have been followed not only on other railroads but in other lines of occupation. There is no telling where it would have ended or what amount of trouble and financial loss would have followed. The decision of the arbitrators is calculated to restore confidence, and to prevent a condition in labor circles which might have led to most calamitous results. Montgomery was especially interested in this case Mr Thomas K Scott, general manager of the Georgia Railroad, was for years a citizen of Montgomery and began his railroad career here. He is a man of fine ability, and splendid character with highly developed sense of justice. He chose as his arbiter our distinguished citizen Hon Hilary A Herbert, and he could not have found in the United States a man whose mental and moral make-up better fitted him for deciding such a momentous issue. The whole country has unlimited confidence in his fair-mindedness, patriotic impulses and disposition hold in even balance the scales of justice. It is a fortunate thing that all the members of the board were Southern men, for the questions involved could better be passed upon by men of the virginage than by those of other sections of the country. White Man Successes Deveaux. SAVANNAH, GA., July 6. Another Federal position formerly held by a negro has been given to a white man. William R Leaken has been appointed to fill the position of Collector of Customs at Savannah, made vacant by the death of J H Deveaux. The appointment has caused general satisfaction among the Negro voters here. AMONG THE CHURCHES Bethol Adds Members. Bethel A. M. E. Church was well attended morning and evening. Rev. R. C. Ransom, the pastor, occupied the pulpit and four new members were added to the church. Collections for the day were $75.00. Harlem Zion Growing. Rev. J. H. McMullen conducted the services in "Little Zion" three times on Sunday to large audiences, administering the Lord's Supper at the afternoon service. At 11 a.m the subject from which the pastor preached was "Taking a Stand for God." He illustrated from the life of the Apostle Paul. The communion service was solemn and impressive, being attended by many of the Mother Church's members out of sympathy for Little Zion. Every available seat was taken and it is evident that some provision must be made to accommodate those who would attend the services. The ladies of the church held a very pleasant lawn party in the rear of the church on Monday evening. Next Sunday, July 11, the Sunday school will observe Children's Day Abyasinian Delegates Report The services at Abbsman Baptist Church were largely attended Sunday July 4 Dr G M King, of Union University, Richmond, Va., and a former teacher of Dr Powell, preached a very instructive sermon, after which holy communion was administered The chief feature of the evening service was the rendering of reports by the delegates, Mrs Silvia Harris, Mr J H Page and Dr Powell who represented the church at the recent New England convention in Boston. The B Y P U under the presidency of Mr Nelson Dixon, has taken on new role. Programs of a very high order are conducted every Thursday evening. Dr Bowell will preach morning and evening Sunday July 11. Baptizing will take place in the morning Last Sunday morning, Rev W H Brooks, of St Marks M E church preached a strong sermon in his discours urging of race unity. He said there should not be any bickering between the press and pupil but that both should work for the betterment of the race. Continuing he said there should also be a united brotherhood movement to work for the betterment of the neighborhoods in which we reside, and to seek out worthy young men and women and find employment for them. Many young men and women go astray because there is no employment for them to end when they come out of the schools and colleges. --- Mother Zion Notes. Beautiful weather, coupled with a lowered temperature, brought hundreds of people to Mother Zion last Sunday to hear Rev. Bolden preach two yery able termins.

In his presentation Dr. Roberts said it was a pleasure to present Mr Fortune whom he regarded as a man of extraordinary talent. He spoke of the wonderful advantages of America and the opportunities here offered to make the best of one's talents. He said he always felt that he was an American citizen entitled to all rights guaranteed under the Constitution. He said there was no great problem but what the unity of effort and the spirit of religion would not solve. Mr. Fortune urged closer race pride and said Negroes should patronize each other in business and in the profession We should walk a block further to patronize a colored grocer or restaurant. He said the Negro came to America by the hands of others and that he had a right to enjoy her institutions Mr Fortune was warmly congratulated A Rare Chance to Purchase a Farm or a Home in a Community Near an Educational Institution.

Immersion is on, said to be headed by Napoleon Marshall, asking that Assistant Superintendent Koscoe Conkling should be removed from office. In a petition to the Board of Education a number of charges are made against the retention of Assistant Superintendent Bruce, but on their face present is a virpus of vitality. No names are given to the petition or removal of charges being made by what is known as the Citizen's Association. Although Capt James F. Oyster, President of the Board of Education, has repeatedly expressed his confidence in the ability of Assistant Superintendent Bruce, and of his intentions to support him, it is probable that the Assistant superintendent will have to answer the charges and specifications brought by the association before many if his recommendations for next season take effect. While the movement is on to have Dr Bruce removed, the Assistant Superintendent is going merrily on making recommendations, for next season, which has brought joy to the hearts of one and sorrow to others. Following are the recommendations recently made to the Board of Education by Assistant Superintendent Bruce. That W. L. Jackson, principal of the M Street High School be demoted to become a teacher of mathematics in strong Manual Training School; that Garnet C Wilkinson be made principal of M Street High School; that John C Nalle, supervising principal, be demoted to be principal of Lincoln Building, that Alonzo Stafford, principal of Lincoln Building, be promoted to supervisorship; that James Falker, principal of Banneker Building, be promoted to supervisorship; that Dr Henry L. Bailey, supervising principal, be demoted to become a teacher in M Street High School. When seen by several newspaper presentatives Assistant Superintendent race demonstrated to their satisfaction the charges were, in a measure, parallel to statements made in several letters to a Boston sheet from Washington, signed by F. H. H. Murray. He displayed letters from Mr. Murray blogging for the sheet's letters on the mind that the writer had discovered one of the allegations to be false. It is the consensus of opinion here Assistant Superintendent Bruce succeed in clearing himself of the charges preferred against him, if the appointed attorney, E. H. Perry, unders them of sufficient importance warrant an investigation. District Attorney Baker has appointed H. Perry attorney in charge of the washington Board of Education in the ace of Stuart McNamara, who has nee to Paris. Negro Graduates from Syracuse. Correspondence of Tue Aug. STACUSE, N. Y., July 6.—A.

Regular Correspondence of THE AGE Boston, July 6—The grasp which the personality of Dr. Booker T. Washington has upon the hearts of the people of Boston was most genuinely demon- strated last week during the closing exercises of the public schools at the Lyman Grammar School. Several of the pupils quoted extracts from his speeches and by the choice of the graduating class he is numbered among the greatest eight men America has produced. This was a striking tribute, as the Lyman Grammar School embraces in its district about 2,800 pupils and all of them are white. Harvard had two colored candidates for degrees this year, and THE ACE correspondent desires to correct the contrary report which was published in the last issue. Mr. G. W. Stanley Ish, Yale, 1905, of Little Rock, Ark., received his M.D. from the famous Harvard Medical School, and will enter the Freedman Hospital at Washington, D. C. Another candidate was Mr. Edmond Oxley, who received the degree of B.S.T. from Harvard Divinity School. Miss Mabel S. Jackson, of Malden, was among the most successful Boston University this year. Miss Jackson, unlike the most of her sex, elected the stiffest course in the college, the classical course, and completed the work with a most creditable record. She is considering an offer to teach at Trukegree Institute. Commencement week was one of uninterrupted entertainment for the family of Judge Robert H. Terrell. Last Sunday Judge and Mrs. Terrell attended the reception given to his class by the president of Harvard University. On the night before they had been the guests of the exclusive Saturday Evening Whist Club, which includes in its membership Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lewis, Mr. and W. Mrs. W. A. Ridley, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lewis, Dr. and Mrs. S. E. Courtney, Mrs. M. A. McAdoo, Mrs. christina Lee. At another time during the week the Bridge Whist Club, with the Terrells and Mrs. Henry Bailey, of Washington, as guests of honor, were entertained by Mrs. Lee at Squantum. Last Wednesday evening Judge Terrell was given a "stag" at the Parker House by Hon. W. H. Lewis, Dr. S. E. Courtney and Mr. U. A. Ridley. One of the most delightful features of the series of entertainments for the Terrells was the harbor party on the government launch, which was put at the service of the judge and his family. This party included besides the grown folks Misses Mary and Phyllis Terrell and Constance Ridley. Last Friday night was a gala night at the Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church. The occasion was a reception to Rt. Rev. Bishop J. W. Wood, D. D. L.L. D, and a brilliant crowd gathered to pay tribute to the distinguished prelate. The exercises, which were exceedingly interesting, opened with the rendition of a chorus by the choir, under the conduct of Dr W O Taylor and Rev J Francis Lee, of Rush A M. E. Zion Church, offered the invocation. In a brief yet peculiarly effective speech Dr George L. White, the popular pastor of the church, introduced Miss Eliza Gardner, who presided and presented Mr Scott Robinson, who gave a very interesting and practical talk. This speech was followed by an enclosed solo from Miss Georgie Woodest. Mr Otus Skimmer, one of the assistant superintendents of the Sunday School, spoke next and expressed the Sunday School's high regard for the bishop. The appearance of Mrs. Augustus Rowls, who had the next number on the program, was a signal for outburst of applause. Mrs. Barrows offered a solo, and in response to repeated calls sang again. At this juncture Mrs. J Wood, president of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, was introduced and told of her love for the members of this diocese. At the close of her speech the chorus again rendered a chorus Mr Herbert Richardson sang a solo, and the honored guest arose to make a few remarks. He received a most enthusiastic welcome and a Chai tauquia salute. When the bishop had finished, Miss Bertha Thompson and Miss Carrie Richardson sang a beautiful duet. A chorus by the choir, which followed, brought a most enjoyable program to an end. In the vestry of the church a simpunt collation was then served. At the guests' table were seated Bishop and Mrs. Hood, Dr and Mrs George L White, Rev J Francis Lee, Miss Elra Gardner, Mr Scott Robinson, Mr John Williams, and others prominent in Zion Church life. On Sunday morning Bishop Hood preached before a large congregation at Zion. He left for the West Tuesday. Dr. Henry Bailey, of Washington, came on to celebrate with his class the 20th anniversary of its graduation from Harvard.

In a recent issue of THe Ace we published a letter from Little Rock, Ark, showing the standing of some of the secret and fraternal organizations of that State The figures used in this letter were taken from the State off- cial records of Arkansas The point which we wish especially to call to the attention of our readers 1s this: While quite a number of Negro organizations were represented in the official records, practically none of them except the Mosaic Templars seemed to have any money One organization has 420 members with no money Another 6,725 members with only $500 Sull another with 10,000 members with no money! Stull another with 3.000 mem- bers with no money he meaning of all this 1s that there are many secret and fraternal Negro orgamizations in Arkansas, as in other parts of the coun- try, who have at their head unserupu lous and ignorant men who go through the country fooling the people They get large sums of money and get many members, but there 1s no money in the treasury with which to meet their prom- ises In many cases not on'y are these organizations bankrupt, but what httle property they do get hold of 15 deeded to individuals instead of to the organ- ization itself We advise our people throughout America to speak and think and invesugate Every one who 1s a ‘member of any secret or fraternal or- ganization should get at the bottom facts An expert accountant should be employed to examine the books to find out where the money 1s and how tt 1s being used, Our people are being fooled qut_of thrtisands of dollars every, year by unscrupulous men who pretend fo get up an organization which kas for tts object the redemption of the race in a few months In the case referred to we are glad to note that the State report shows that the Mosaic Templars of America have assets to the value of $15,000 This 1s commendable but even this organization will be injured by other weak and poorl orgamzed ones if a change 1s tut brought shent Som men have seen the great success achies ed hy such organ ite is as the Tre Reformers the Mosan Teetpary and others, and are trsing te amitate they without the tecesare tras ast weh out the necessity honesty ad capital POSITION OF THE VGt Tie Ans tise been the re cpeent iat indicect Urreats fron view disturbed ministers ever the cf rt we hive born making fer a ere “prastieal preacher” aml a mere metal minis try To be far we alee must stare our genuine gratifiition frum the much greater response all over the country, both from the press and the pulpit, seconding and approving our efforts To the former we must state that we shall continue, very sorry that necessity makes them resentful Of the latter, we ash the:r continued 60 operation that the Negro church may attack the vital Negra problem of in- creasing churchlessness We neod neither to affirm our friendship for the church, nor our service and interest in the cause We realize the hard ships, the average worthy Negro pas tor must endure But we are alse aware of the unrestrained license of many libertines at present cloaking their corruption with the garb of the minister Fyery wide anake Negro editor knows thi byven that ob structing Southegn editor of the church organ reales keenly the strength of our positian like Tue Ace, that organ is false to its mission, if it does not do its part in driving these scoundrels out of the pulpit That the searchhght of exposure should be turned upon them i te the interest of the church and the race We shall continuc NEGROES AT HARVARD. For the first time in many years Harvard College graduating class has no Negro member To just what this is due, we can furnish no satisfactory answer Rut the lamentable fact re- mains that fom the class of 1909 at America's oldest and highest institu tion of learning, a0 Negro representa tive 1s nent forth with her stamp of approval and fitness. Neither the standard of scholarship nor the expense of living h#e been ¢0 inereased. Neither untoward circum- stance nor lack of encouragement can be offered as an excuse far the falling off of Negro students, Under her splendid president, A. Lawrence Low- ell, Harvard's beneficent policy of no face distinction will be continued. Ne- gro students in the last year at Cam- bridge have competed successfully in intellectual and physical contests. Surely, t can not be that the coming Negro youth are less ambitious than their elder brothers and their fathers. Without disparagement to any other stitution, white or black, in this country, it is agreed that no other has offered and does offer to the capabje Negro youth such opportunities and advantages To drink in learning at the feet of her eminent authorities, the superior facilities and manifold opportumties for culture, the ennob hing competition with the creant of American white youth, make the strugple to secure the coveted prize of a Harvard diploma worth’the hard est effort of every aspiring Negro boy The influence of such Negro orators as Dubor and Bruce and of such athletes ay Lewis and Matthews is still potent at Cambridge Their influence can only be preserved by more of our best youths taking their places.

Short of thrillers, several of the New York dailies have sought to mag- nify the possible molehill of dissatio- faction among the white teachers of Public School No. 125 to a mountain of rebellion against their Negro princi- pal, Dr. Wm.

NEWARK SCHOOL TO CLOSE Only Negro School in City, and Eighty Years Old—James M. Baxter Resigns. B颁al to THE NEW YORK AGR. NEWARK, N J, July 7 —From present indications Newark will not have a colored school next season While the Board of Education has taken no action on the proposition to close the school, it is highly probable that it will never be reopened James M. Baxter, who has been the principal for forty-five years, resigned a few weeks ago and closed his career as an educator last Friday, the last day of school. For many years the school has received but a very small proportion of the Negro children of the city, hundreds attending the various other public schools. The attendance at the colored school has been steadily smaller. Last May its total enrollment was eight three, and the average attendance a little over sixty. Over fifty years ago, in 1854, the enrollment was 160, and the average attendance about seventy. The school has clearly outlived its usefulness. Just how old the school is has not yet been determined, but Newark has had a colored free school for over eighty years. In 1839 there was a male school for Africans on Academy street, and a female school for Africans on Plane street. The colored school, which has now probably closed its history, was located on Plane street in 1854. A number of years ago it was removed from an old building adjoining the Commerce street school building to the Market street school, opposite the court house. Two years ago a high school annex was opened in the Market street structure and the colored school was removed to the Commerce street building where it has since been located.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Boston, Mass, July 6—Pocahontas Lodge 129, L. I, B. P O E. W., of Cambridge, Mass, is favored by having an auxiliary composed of the most energetic and best-known women of Cambridge and Boston, which was instituted a few evenings ago by Sister Mamie E. Hodges, granddaughter ruler, of Hampton, Va. The new organization will be known in the future as Juannita Temple, and its officers are Mrs Louis E. White, daughter ruler, Mrs John Moorehead, vice-daughter ruler, Mrs A Krauser, assistant daughter ruler, Mrs Daniel Ware, secretary, Mrs J O Taylor, treasurer, Mrs Whitfield, chaplain, Mrs J L. DeKnight, assistant secretary, Mrs S B Noble, organist, Mrs A C Wilson, assistant organist, Mrs J J Pavins, conductor, Mrs A Allen, O G, Mrs R I Page, D D G, D R The new society starts out under the most favorable auspices and will exert a powerful influence for the good of Elkdom in New England generally and in Cambridge and Boston particularly. Each of the others chosen to preside over the destunes of Juanita Temple for the first term of its existence are women of ability and experience in society work, and will prove of material assistance to Pocahontas Lodge in the conduct of its grand work of charity. Much of the credit for the institution of this new auxiliary is due to the most amount of work done by Daniel Warre, exalted ruler-elect of Pocahontas Lodge, of Elks, who labored faithfully, early and late, for the success of the new enterprise. During her stay in the East, Sister Hodges was lavishly entertained by members of the order. On the evening following the instituting of the auxiliary, she, together with the members of the new lodge, were tendered a reception by Pocahontas Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. W., in St. George's Hall, Cambridge, at which Sister Hodges met members of the leading citizens of Cambridge and Boston. On the following morning she was delightfully entertained by Grand Esteemed Leading Knight Rasmond W. Phillips and his clerking wate, at their pretty home at West Medford where she was again the central figure in a large company of people known in fraternal and social circles. and Mrs Hickey grew up in a farm for her at age 11 which she long BRUTAL CAMBRIDGE POLICEMAN On Trial for Cruelty to Old Colored Man—Minor Hamilton Entertainer.

This case is being watched with much interest by the colored people in Camden County. We praise the officers in bringing the corners of the event to the court around.

WALTON THE COLORED PERFORMER ABROAD UDGING from advices the writer receives from time to time, the colored performer is making it hard for himself and the members of his race in many of the European cities. This statement must not be taken as a general accusation against all colored members of the theatrical profession, for at this time some of the best and most highly respected colored vaudevillians are playing in the old country. In justice to them the writer deems it proper to relate that these protests of misconduct come from colored performers—those who have sense enough to understand that the people in Europe judge us as a race by our actions and deportment. A number of performers have certainly been "performing," if reports are true; and as we know very well the different writers who have written to THE Age denouncing the indiscreet actions" of some members of the profession, we have no reason to doubt the authenticity of their statements. There is a class of colored performer who pictures becoming monarch of all he surveys when he leaves the United States and becomes a resident of such cities as London, Paris and Berlin. That he will have to work hard to become a big factor in European theatrical circles does not enter his mind. He does not plan doing any too much work, laboring under the false impression that abroad he will be shown deference because of his color. Quite true, it is a combination of ignorance and vanity that causes any one to enjoy such "dreams," but quite a number of our performers are addicted to dreaming nevertheless, and thereby cause no little annoyance and inconvenience to the better-thinking colored performer and tourist at times. A Letter from Europe. One of the latest letters received by The Ace about the ignorant and vain colored performer in Europe reads in part as follows: "Well, I found the colored brother all over the country, as you find them in many instances in the United States—the same old worthless Negro, making it hard for themselves everywhere. I can't see how it is that these ignorant, worthless people, whose only ambition is to go anywhere he has money and associate with white people, expect to make a good impression on the thinking people of Europe. I have been looking into matters, and it seems that it is the class of Negro as I mentioned above that invades the foreign countries first and creates a bad impression. Then all of us are judged by them, and we have a difficult time convincing the citizens that we were different. "There was a swell cafe in Berlin, called the Victoria, where all the colored people were barred, due to members of the race fighting in the places. Before the fight no discrimination was shown on account of color, and I learn that recently the management decided to accommodate colored again. In London there are several places which draw the "color line," owing to disturbances colored people have started. A number of colored men have married white women, and they seem to take delight in beating them in public to show how good they stand." It is well that performers of ability and judgment are invading foreign shores at this time, and have taken seriously the undesirable situation created by less discreet members of the theatrical profession. They can do much good towards showing the people of Europe that we are not all alike, a result which we are also seeking to realize in the United States So much for the colored performer who has gone abroad, quit work and has done nothing to reflect credit on himself or the colored members of the profession That is the dark and gloomy side of the race question with reference to our colored performers across the sea, but there is a bright side one which depicts the colored artist succeeding step by step, playing legitimate parts in musical shows and making good in vaudeville Success of Idn Forcen. Perhaps the most successful colored female performer in Europe at this time is Ida Forcen, who was well known in this country several years ago as a dancer of ability. For several seasons she was with the "Black Patty Troubadours," and before leaving America was with Ernest Hogan's Memphis Students. Miss Forcen went to Europe as a dancer, but has developed into an actress, and is now playing character parts in some of the largest productions presented in London and Paris. For some time she has been one of the principals in a show at the Alhambra Theatre, London, and according to reports is the bit of the piece. A correspondent of THE AGE speaks of Miss Forcen as follows: "She is a legitimate principal, not one dressed up in a part requiring rags, but a real, pretty part with pretty costumes, and she looks just like a little black doll It does your heart good to see Miss Forcen in the big finale out in front of all the white performers, stationed in the centre doing her dance." In the production Miss Forcen plays the part of a flirt and one of the principal scenes is where the wife catches A Ide Forces in One of the Principal Scenes of an English Production EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON her making love to the husband. It is described as being about the funniest situation in the piece, which we believe to be true in England, but we do not think the scene would make a hit in the United States. Instead of being considered a very funny situation American theatre-goers would term the tragic. It is said that Miss Forcen receives a weekly salary in three figures, has a maid and all that goes with being one of the principals in a big show. Within the past year many colored acts have gone to Europe, and it is pleasing to note that word comes from the other side that there is a big demand for colored sketches, which is encouraging. Let the colored performers who are enjoying success conduct themselves on and off the stage so as to counteract the harm being done by those less talented and discreet Ide Forcen in One of the Principles THEATRICAL JOTTINGS Sallie Lee is playing at Keith & Proctor's 125th Street Theatre this week.

Miss Launchmere was taken to the hospital, where it was found that she had sustained a few slight bruises. In the fire Hodges and Launchmere lost their valuable collection of music, which they have been getting together for fifteen years. All of Miss Launchmere's costumes were also burned OUR NATURE DRAMA Mr James L. Ford tries to imagine what the academic mind would make of the declaration that the genesis of the American national drama is to be found in the variety stage. In spite of the belief, popular in some quarters, that the vaudeville stage is a menace to popular taste, he asserts that it is reality our national theatre. He shows us how this form of theatrical art has developed from the very humble beginning of Negro ministrelsy, and declares that "the deeper we go into the subject, the stronger will be our conviction that, while our academicians are bewailing the decline of the American drama," and 'viewing with alarm' the indifference manifested toward the Shakespearean and other classes, and 'wondering why no manager can be found who will revive the old comedies of Sheridan and Goldsmith,' the variety stage, despised by all who know nothing about it, to which the great mass of our people turn to satisfy that cravings for entertainment which is as natural to them as that of cattle for salt, has marched on with a rapidity that is amazing to contemplate." Besides having given birth to several of the most popular and distinctively American schools of entertainment that our stage has known, says Mr Ford in McClure's (March), it has supplied the legitimate stage with some of its very best actors, as he goes on to recount. "Edwin Booth was, in his younger days, a member of a mistrel company and, unless I am mistaken, appeared in some of the variety shows of that period. He lived to become one of the most noble and dignified figures of his day, as well as one of the most distinguished actors that the English speaking stage has ever known. Mr Joseph Jefferson was also a minstrel in the early part of his career, and prior to that he and his sister—both mere children—had been wont to perform on Boston Common and pass the hat among the bystanders. "Lota was known in the mining camps of California and in the early variety thatres of San Francisco long before she came East in the settles, to win money and fame—a dramatic cocktail." John Brougham called her—in the legitimate houses of Broadway. William H. Crane used to play the tambourine in a wandering minstrel company. Nat Goodwin, Lillian Russell, and May Irwin came to the front in the early studies at Tony Pastor's theatre. Mr. Goodwin gave imitations of popular actors and has lived to become an extremely popular actor himself. Miss Irwin's remarkable humorous gifts were shown in the condensed versions of comic operas that brought Mr Pastor's entertainments to a close, and it was in one of these that Miss Russell 'leapt into fame in a single night "Perhaps the most important recruit from variety in recent years is David Warfield, who used to give Hebrew and other imitations until he was fortunate enough to come prominently before the public as a member of Weber and Weber's company, where he attracted the attention of Mr. Belasco. Under the tutelage of this accomplished manager and teacher he has become one of the leading emotional actors of our stage as well as one of the strongest of box office attractions. One might go on almost indelibly with this recital. Let it suffice to say that with the exception of those players who, like Mass Barry more, Miss Adams, and Mr. Sothern, are of theatrical lineage, there are but few stars on our stage who can not hark back to variety or ministrely" Our "national theatre" now in its lusty youth, is a "direct outgrowth of Negro minstrelsy, which accurately reflected African slavery in the pathos of its balladry, the heedlessness and consequence of its murth, and the suggestion of savagery in its dancing." By degree, it is said, "variety" emanated itself from burnt cork, and gave place on its program to women performers. The position of the greatest importance in the upbuilding of our native stage is here given to the late Tony Pastor who opened his first playhouse in 1865 in the Bowery. Of his venture Mr. Ford writes "In opening his Bowery play house, Mr Pastor was inspired with the then novel idea of presenting a clean entertainment that would appeal to women and children. At first, so bad was the reputation of variety, respectable women fought shy of him, and it was not until he offered prizes of the kind calculated to appeal to the thrifty housewives—hams, silks, barrels of flour, and tons of coal—that he was able to secure their attendance. In doing this he was building far better than he knew, for, while the growth of clean variety has been steady and healthful since then, the old-time shows with their refreshment coupons, waiter-girls, and other objectionable features have disappeared completely." During the years of Tony Pastor's first experience in management, the American "rural drama" had its genesis in Boston at the Howard Atheneum. The gallery of this house was then dominated by a gang of newsbys led by one "Horse Bite Sullivan," we are told, whose approval it was necessary for every entertainer to win in order to keep his engagement. Since 1786 the "down-East Yankee" had been known as a stage character, but he was "put up to be laughed at, not laughed with" Asa Trenchard in "Our American Cousin" is one of the most familiar of these. At the Howard Atheneum, however, an actor appeared in a sketch of bucolic life in which he played the part of a Yankee farmer and won the favor of the "Horse, Bite" gang. He was Denman Thompson as Joshua Whitcomb, and he gave the first impetus to a school of drama which is distinctively American, enormously popular, and without its exact equivalent in any other land." From this, it is said, have sprung "The Old Homestead," "Way Down East," "The County Fair," "The County Chairman," "David Harum," "Sky Farm," "Eben Holden," "The Bailage oPstmaster," and "Shore Acres" The present form of "variety" arose with Mr B. F. Keith in Boston in 1883, and was adopted by Mr F F Proctor in New York in 1892. Others have entered the field, forming a combination of which we read: "It is doubtful if anywhere in the world there is so complete and carefully thought-out a system for providing the mass of the people with cheap and wholesome amusement as has been devised by this combination of ingenuity, experience, and familiarity with the popular taste. The one hundred and twenty-five vaudeville houses are all under the control of the United Booking Offices, as the association of the four managers is called. And every week the New York office of this association receives from each of the houses under its control a complete description of its bill, recording the number of minutes given to each act, the number of laughs, and the manner in which it was received by the audience. A wrong reading of a line, an indecorous remark, or a characterization intended to offend persons of any race or religious or political creed is thus reported at once and instantly cut out by orders from headquarters. Of course in this way the same act is reported on from forty or more towns, thus enabling the vaudeville managers to allow for a variety in local feeling or managerial taste. "A glance at the modern vaudeville 'wheel' that has replaced the variety dive of half a century ago reveals a clean, wholesome, and popular institution, that worthily represents other institutions of which we are proud, and that seems to have entered upon a period of dignified and prosperous ease as a reward for its long years of hard work. It is not unlikely that its days of usefulness as a forging-bed for talent have ended for the germs of art thrue best in poverty and misfortune, and the vaudeville of to day is altogether too prosperous a field to bear any such harvests of original growth as sprang from the old-fashioned variety and minstrelsy."—I literary Digest ANNOUNCEMENT Owing to the large number of photos received weekly at The Age office for publication on the dramatic page, it is impossible to publish any photo within two weeks of receipt of same All photos will be given due consideration in their turn. THERE is much for Eastern baseball fans to enthuse over after noting the result of two games played in Greater New York within the past week. The defeat administered the Cuban Giants by the Philadelphia Giants last Sunday afternoon at Meyer Rose Park, and the victory of the Royal Giants over the visitors the following day at Bronx Oval is proof positive that the two chief colored teams of the East are strong aggregations. The Cuban Giants have been winning most of their games in the Western country, and while they have a good to on this season, we do not think they are as strong as the Royal Giants and the Philadelphia Giants. So far this season the Royal Giants have played the classiest ball of any of the coloured teams seen in the East, and the writer believes that should Manager Connor array his heavy hitting bunch against any of the strong western clubs he would leave the ball grounds after the game with a "Sunny Jim" suit. The Philadelphia Giants are also putting up a good article of ball at this writing, in fact, the Quaker players have appeared at their worse in games with the Royal Giants. The match between the Royal Giants and the Cuban Giants Monday was well contested, the home nine winning by the score of 6 to 4. Several thousand fans witnessed the match With Danny McClellan in great form, the Cuban Giants were unable to make but one run in their game with the Philadelphia Giants Sunday, the score ending 10 to 1 in the Quaker team's favor.
