SOLUTION TO PROBLEM WILL BE Adherence to Teachings of Christ—Should Love Neighbor, Teach Him When Ignorant, Electe When Degraded. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. CHARLESTON S. C., July 20—At the Conference of Southern Problems, held in this city several days ago, the principal address was made by the Rt. Rev William Alexander Guerry, Bishop of South Carolina in which he gave the race issue no little attention during his talk on "The South as an Organism Part of the Unoin." Bishop Guerry declared that supremacy but upon selfishness or race pride or supernity of numbers is not real supremacy and will not stand in the day of a nation's adversity. With reference to white supremacy and the need of Christian education in the South Bishop Guerry said We hear much to-day of white supremacy. But of what is it supposed to consist? Of a white skin? Of the superiority of numbers or of force? No. There is but one way to maintain white supremacy and that is upon the immutable foundations of a supremacy of intelligence of character and of honesty of action. That is a supremacy which all men will gladly accept and which can never be overthrown. But a supremacy built upon selfishness, or face pride or superrosty of numbers is no real supremacy, and will not stand in the day of a nation's adversity. men are asking to day for a solu- tion of the 'race problem'. If they by 'solution' some rule of thumb, politically devised plan or scheme, panacea for ourills, there is no solution, and can never be. But they mean by solution a forward to the right direction, a definite contribution towards its solution. I unhesitatingly an- d that there is such a solution, and must be taken to my Christian teach- ing. I did not believe that Christ His Church and the application of problems constitute their only reason. I know that if I do and mercy, whatever the con- tribution, I know that I am contrib- tion of this problem how to be worked out, the allow, the details of the concern me. These are to God but I do know, I least the possibility of I speak the truth with I love him as myself if him when he is ignor- ate him when he is do- not him when he is unleaven to secure for myself the oppor- development and self im- pose the word of Christ liking something in my words the solution of real or racial prob- ints me. I know also world of history for where I do wrong up the fruits of my low from which nature are ex I am done from the pul- liver city. I cannot find the reasons for institution world s.

THE NEW "So we come back to where we started, that, though I was asked to deliver a political address introductory to a Conference on Southern Problems I find myself so impressed with the weightiness of my theme, and with the tremendous moral issues that it involves, that I cannot speak otherwise than as a minister of Christ I have spoken in behalf not of party affiliations or of sectional interests, but in the higher and larger interests of the nation, of which we form a part, and for the sake of that open mindedness that freedom of political action and honesty of speech which alone can make a nation great." "BABY JIM" IN COLUMBUS. Negro Who Weights 705 Pounds Attracts Attention at Station Upon His Arrival. COLUMBUS, O. July 19 - There was a great sensation at the Union station when "Baby Jim" arrived one morning last week at 110 o'clock over the B & O Railroad In fact, it was known that he was on his way for some little time before the train arrived and the baggagemaster was given orders to prepare the freight elevator, because the fat man could not possibly get up the stairs in a week's time. Sure enough "Baby Jim" arrived, just as big and fat as he had been pictured Advertisements say that Jim weighs 793 pounds. He is styled "Nature's Greatest Jokke." The appearance and actions of the colored man, who is said to be 22 years of age, would bear out this description. When he arrived at the union station, and was helped off the train, he sat down until an express wagon could be ordered for him. He was taken out of the baggage room and hauled up the road to High street, just like a big trunk or bulky package. He is said to be a native of Texas, and weighed only three pounds when he was born. He is 5 feet 11.2 inches tall and measures 9 feet, 3 inches around the waist. INVENTS WINDOW CLEANER Thomas Johnson Has Conceived Device to be Put on Market. Thomas Johnson, for twenty years confidential man to Klaw & Erlanger, has become an inventor. He has invented an electric machine far washing windows that is likely to revolutionize the method of window cleaning, and the invention must be a good one, as a company has been formed to put the article on the market. Members of the theatrical firm of Klaw & Erlanger have become so favorably impressed with the practical worth of the machine that they have formed a company and capitalized for $60,000. The officers are Charles Osgood, president F. Richard Anderson, vice-president Hollis Cooley, secretary and Meyer Livingston treasurer. The new invention has been patented in America England France Germany and Canada. The companies expects to have the machine on the market before long. Some months ago Mr. Johnson gave his idea for an invention to wash windows and save lives to Isadore I. Hogeman chief mechanic for Klaw & Erlanger who set to work to build a model along the lines suggested. As the re J. B.

JUSTICE LET US REJOICE! WAGES WAGES DISAGREE WITH JUSTICE DUGRO Appellate Court Disapproves His Opinion on the Negro HE WAS MISQUOTED Justice is Said to Have Informed a Delegation of Negro Tammanyites that Waited on Him. In a decision handed down last week by the Appellate Division, it was made clear by the higher court that it did not coincide with the views expressed last May by Justice Dugro that a Negro suffers less shame than a white man. While from a legal standpoint the Appellate Court concurred with Justice Dugro in setting aside a verdict of $2,500, which had been granted to a Negro for false arrest and reducing the amount to $500 the higher court saw it to show the public that it did not agree with Justice Dugro in his views on the Negro question by decision. The alternative to this court is that the trial must be taken as an approval in my degree at the expiration of the time, and that it show an allegation with a proof. Since the statement of the Appellate Court was that it had acted with Justice Dugro in its opinion that Negro offered to compromise the white man's rights at the New York new paper, he implored the higher court to withdraw the Dugro Claims He was Misquoted Review of the Case You cannot say that he is just the same as a white man, when you come to say how much his shame will suffer. He might suffer more. But, after all, what are the probabilities about YORK AGE. THE GEORGIA STRIFE IS OVER it is it likely that when a colored man is arrested and imprisoned he feels just as much shame as a white man of any circumstances might. I think if he were to take the Mayor of the city and arrest him he would feel very much more humiliated than this porter, from the first he was the Mayor and not a colored man, for if he were a colored man he might not feel quite as much humiliation and shame In one sense a colored man is just as good as a white man for the law says he is but he has not the same amount of injury under all circumstances that a white man would have. Maybe in a colored community down South, where white men were held in great disfavor, he might be more injured, but after all he is not this sort of a community. I dare say of a community I dare not be afraid of evil that would have no effect from a charge like this would not be as great as it probably would be to a white man. "The jury are well aware of that fact. After all, the fact that he is a colored man was just as much a fact as anything else. The fact that he was a young man was a fact, just as well as anything else that the jury had a right to consider." LIBERIA IS HOPING Senator Gabriel M.

BRUCE Charges Trumped Up Against Him by Committee Dismissed SHAKE UP LAST WEEK Principal Removed, Teachers Reduced at M Street High School Negro Members for Pupils. the greatest shakeup ever witnessed in the Negro schools of this city was made last week. In my series of articles on the Negro schools here a short time ago I particularly called attention to the fact that in order to conserve the best interests of the pupils M Street High School required a shaking up, and factions graduated pulled up by the tests it was were. The action of the Board of Education in its drastic move unhindered in contention and now even Dr. Bee which is severely sensed by themselves in the school matter comes uncollected and states in an attitude should be made and if those would be same starting schools. A little late but never a end to recent reality of my articles At the M Street High School the principal was devoted and respected to the entire teacher and several teachers were trained for the good of the students. An outstanding Manual Drama School was principal is a well-designed. It offered the teacher and this part of the school were devoted to their work. We woke up some early and having no right to leave the room. Assistant Superintendent Sustained the allied Curt were the presumed prior to having les of Black with the The Board was a spirited, enthusiastic, confidence and unanimous to in Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce. It was a demonstration of real praiseworthy interest in the Negro pupils. It was a notice to the public that the Board is awake to the necessity of conducting the schools for the benefit of the pupils rather than for the benefit of a few teachers. And all honor to the three Negro members They stood like a wall of adamantine for the pupils Mrs Jerrell, who is strong and courageous, even in repose. Dr Junnell, always eminently fair, Mr Horner, firm in his conviction that the time had come for a shake up all three stood together They acted in unison They placed duty above friendship. The public will now breathe free Dis content is succeeded by contentment Pessimism has given way to optimism Confidence has been restorid, and a bright future is now in store for M Street High School Those teachers who have been a disturbing element, fo menters of discord, and breeders of factional strife, if they will but take the hint, will now run along and be good The Board is now in no humor to tolerate discord Mrs Terrell, Mr Horner and Dr Junnell have gone on record as standing unanimously for the highest standard for teachers, for harmony, and for the best interests of the pupils. In the shake-up in the teaching force of the Negro schools the Board might have gone further, and dismissed a few who have no moral right to be connected with the schools. But Rome was not made in a day, they will no doubt get their later on Dropping out of the serious mood, and using a popular, tho' expressive expression of the street, the Board feels for some of these teachers, but, oh, you pupils!

July 20—All differences between Bishop J W Lampton and the whites of this city have been amicably settled and despite the efforts of Governor Vardaman to keep alive the controversy in his newspaper, which was caused by the Bishop's desire to have his daughter addressed as "Miss," the leading citizens and newspapers regard the incident as a thing of the past. In commenting on the affair the Greenville Limes made the following statement last week. Governor Vardaman's recent editorial on the Lampton affair is an affront to the people of Greenville. We are not disposed at this time to question the Governor's abstract right to hold his bill over the general public using as an excuse the false issue of the Impending Crisis' but we do protest against his interference with the affair in Greenville and Washington county. Dr. I. Lumpkin offered to business and clumbers the public press at was a mustache given it my publicity but has been settled settled by the people of Greenville, and in a manner select the most interested and willing to go to Gov. Victoria to investigate the public welfare and to settle the people of Greenville there from the west.

Has Largest Circulation PRINCIPAL WM. BULKLEY Wins Over the Protests of White Teachers at School 125 BOARD IGNORES Objections Made by Teachers who Opposed Appointment Because of Color Prejudice In New York School System—Supt. Maxwell on the Question—The Rebrew Standard's Editorial. Superintendent William H Maxwell, of the New York Public Schools, and the members of the Board of Education do not intend to allow the "color line" to crop into the public schools of this city, and their stand on such questions can be readily determined when announcement was made a few days ago that William L. Bulkley will be principal of School 125, at 180 Wooster street, between Houston and Bleeker streets, despite the opposition of a number of white teachers, who have protested against working under a Negro principal. When it was given out recently that Principal Bulkley, who is the only Negro principal in the New York Public Schools, would be transferred from School 80, at 225 West Forty-first street, to School 125, at least twenty of the thirty-one white teachers are said to have held an indignation meeting and filed a protest against the appointment of a Negro principal over them. They were informed at the Department of Education that there is no "color line" in the public school system of New York City, and that if they did not like their prospective principal, they had better get transfers to other schools. So far no transfers have been obtained. 1 Shortly before his departure for Europe on a short vacation, Principle Bulley went through School 125, which he closely inspected the sanitary condition of the building and gave a number of instructions to the janitor. School 80, of which he has been principal, was attended in the main by Negro children. Most of the pupils at School 125 are Italians. It was due to his visit that the teachers learned of the identity of their new principal. It is the policy of Superintendent Maxwell to refrain from talking about colored teachers when interviewed. His policy is that the Department of Education does not know a teacher by color. All efforts to engage him in a conversation in the color question always fails. Hebrew Standard on Race Prejudice in Public Schools. Several months ago a white woman protested against her child being taught by a colored teacher to Superintendent Maxwell who informed the mother that the fact that the young woman was teaching evidence that she possessed ability was qualified to teach the children who came to school in search of education. Under the leadership of Roe Presidence in the Public Schools of the Hebrew Standard published the following editions a few days ago. The women teachers at Public School No. 125 who objected to the recent appointed principal subject on the ground that he was a Negro have set a very bad example of the prejudice in schools in many towns and well to their way in this matter. I have the city and the examination committee to the Negro to take a dispassionate and correct attitude towards the children. I have attempted to understand their views and to help them. WASHWOMEN APPEAL TO MAYOR. Ask That He Do Something to Present Sadden Rise of Coal in Montgomery. Beneath the less of trouble from the public how which they seemed to be more serious the city paid a tax not only over himnes. A license to sell shares now cost $10. The charter dealers promptly doubled the price of the community which the poor washwomen must have. They in turn tried to save the price of the week's wash but the indignant housewives would have none of it. So the old women and the young ones, picturesquely clad, went to the mayor and told him their troubles. The old spokeswoman told him they would all pray for him, that their prayers were all they could give him. The mayor could offer them no encouragement.

Marka's Church and Elk Lodges Have Holiday—N. M. A. Prepara- n Boston, July 2-The excursion season is at its height in Boston Every week groups of merrymakers hire to the woodlands or seashore for temporary relief from the oppressive heat of the city Last Thursday St. Mark's Congregational Church held its annual picnic at Caledonian Grove, and a large crowd gathered to enjoy the many unique and startling features which the committee had arranged for their entertainment A daring double trapeze act, performed by Messrs Albert Wells, Christopher Smith and George J Jennings, afforded interesting but of excitement, as well as the ball game and track events On the following by the combined lodges of Elks gave their annual outing at Oak Island Grove This was the largest picnic of the season, being attended by nearly a thousand people Dancing and field sports were the features, and many dugged in them On Saturday, July 31 the Demonstration Committee of Harvard Lodge and Household of Ruth G V O of O F. will have their outing at the same place. Not all the picnic groves in the vicinity of Boston are open to colored picnic parties. The managers of Riverside Grove have drawn the color line Early in the Spring St. Luke's Commandery, K. T., began preparations for a picnic, which was advertised to be held at this grove. It was to be a gigantic affair and a large committee of prominent men had it in charge. It was to have been given on July 5, but for some reason unknown at the time the outing was postponed to a date in August, and will be given elsewhere. It has now leaked out that when the managers of Riverside Grove were prised of the color of their contemplated lessees, they immediately cancelled the engagement. It is reported U. S. District Commandery, through U. S. District Attorney Lewis, has entered suit for damages. There are several resorts hereabouts which are denied to colored picnickers for reason's based on color prejudice, and the result of this just invocation of the law on the part of the Knights Templars will be watched with keen interest by the colored citizens of this place. After passing a week with Mrs. William Grace, of Needham, Miss Blanche Smith, of Clifford street, left last Thursday for Providence R. 1, to visit her cousin, Miss Mary Marshall.

Rev C W W Frazier has been called to fill the vacant pulpit of Good Hope Baptist Church, at Youngstown, O Rev Mr Frazier has been at work in his new field of labor only three months and in that time has caused the little church to take on new life. Great efforts are being made to pay a mortgage of $308. If the church continues working as at present, it is safe to say the mortgage burning will soon be witnessed. In three months the Sunday collections have been more than doubled, alumsteen members have been added, and from every viewpoint the future of this church is very encouraging. Rev. Mr. Frazier is said to be a native African, but has been a citizen of Pennsylvania for over thirty years. He is an enthusiastic worker for THE NEW YORK Age. Rev Mr. Frazier was in the city last week, and used strong language in describing how leading Negroes in Youngstown support "Jim Crow" columns in white papers in preference to their own, but intelligence is forcing its way to the front, continued the pastor. Rev Mr. Lee, an A M E preacher, of Youngstown, prints news of his church in pamphlets form rather than lend his influence to a practice so detrimental to the race's interests. Mr Richard Herndon, for 25 years a trusted employee of the Carbon Steel Works, has returned home after spending his vacation South. He speaks in high terms of the hospitalities of his Southern friends some of whom he had not seen since he was a boy.

The weather being intensely warm, there was not as large an audience as was expected, but those that were present were amply repaid, for Rev. Tindley's lectures and singing are such that one could listen and never tire.

Church was the objective point in the Oranges last week. One hundred and fifty women as bishops, presiding elders and ministers held forth as a Methodist annual conference for three nights. Two thousand people attended the sessions and were kept roaring with laughter as the various "preachers" played their part as conference delegates. Women from all the churches were among the delegates. The conference was divided into twelve presiding elder districts, each having ten ministers, who represented a local church.

L Penn, of Parasal, who recently passed the board of ex- aminers and admitted to the bar, was in the city Sunday and spoke at the Union Baptist Church at the evening services. On almost every wall in this city can be seen bills advertising excursions to this or that point. A harvest of dollars will be reaped by the railroads. MOVEMENT OF BROOKLYN WOMEN. To Erect Dormitory in Honor of the William T. Dixon Jate Rev. William T. Dixon. Prominent women in church and social circles have begun a movement not only to help one of the most worthy institutions for children of color, but to honor the memory of one of Brooklyn's most honored and beloved citizens. The object of this new move is to erect a dormitory for girls at the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum Farm at St James L. I. and known as the "Dixon Hall," and named in honor of the late Rev Dr William T. Dixon, who for many years was a member and president of the management board of the institution. Mrs. George H Fayerweather took the initiative in the movement, and in response to a call, issued at her residence, 965 Park place, Wednesday, the organization was started after the object had been stated by Mrs. Fayerweather, of the "Woman's Board of Management." Mrs. Fayerweather had received inspiration at the annual outdoor meeting of the management to the farm of 168 acres in June. It was decided that a committee of one hundred women be formed and that each member of the committee pledge the sum of $10. The women are enthusiastic over the project of helping the 340 children in the institution to get out on the beautiful grounds at the farm as well as to do honor to the memory of Dr Dixon, who for forty-five years was a popular Brooklyn pastor.

The Charleston News and Courrier thus essays to account for what it terms the Arbitration of the Mail Service in the Southern States' In the parish prison at New Orleans two Negroes are confined. It is charged that one of them, desiring to be a railway mail clerk, persuaded the other, a Negro of some situation, to take the examinations for him. Everything went along smoothly. The first Negro received his appointment and reported for work. Then something happened. His manifest ignorance at once dislabeled his previous the fact that the man could never have passed an intellectual examination. Certain it is that the postal service has shown evidence of ignorance somewhere, and certain it is, too, that this has followed the appointment of a very large proportionate number of Negroes. How many of those persons have obtained their positions through fraud is a matter for conjecture. But just see what the Southern spokesman has done. He credits Negroes with an ingenuity and the white civil service officials with a suspicion hardly credible. Or it assumes that Negro applicants are in collusion with the white examiners who are charging the whites with a criminality, at least equal to the blacks. He indicts and commends the civil service in the same breath. If he credits the Negro applicants with such superior intellect as to deceive their superior officials, he at the same time credits the Negroes with sufficient intellect to pass the examinations, are even to surpass their fellow white applicants. More than 95 per cent of such malefactors in Southern federal prisons are white, and judge jury and executioners have been white. What about the Negro's intellect and the federal courts? No, too high is the compliment paid to the brain of the black man. The illustration of the isolated Louisiana case is the filmsiest and most illogical defence for Southern race-jealousy we have seen. Why does not the Southern editor say that he hates to see a Negro in the railway mail service? Why does he not start a propaganda for the abolition of the civil service in the Southern States, making color and not fitness the test? Mr Editor, let us make a suggestion in all sincerity and patronism. Tell your people, if you will, that they are superior to Negroes but that as all the advantages are theirs they must prove it. Urge them to greater fitness and effort. Do not plunge their dwarfed Negro-hating intellects still deeper in the mire of prejudice and ignorance. Thus you will insure not white supremacy, but continued demoralization for your children and children's children. --- LIGHT FROM THE SOUTH. It is very seldom that we have read stronger or more sane words from the mouth of any Southern white man than the following uttered by Dr C B Wilmer, of Atlanta, Ga, at a public meeting recently at Sewance, Tenn. "The race question is not an academic question, but it is one which is wrapped up with our southern social system. It has been called a Southern problem, but the question of the race relates the relations between two races which live side by side is one of the biggest and most important before the public to-day and as such deserves the attention of all parts of the nation. In the North the question is not so much that of the Negro, but of other races, which have poured into this country during the lilast few years. We have heard it said that the North has nothing to do with it, but this is absurd. We need the North to help us with its money and its brains. "The real Southern gentleman wants to treat the Negro fairly. It is the other kind who hates him like a rattlemite and wishes to shoot him on sight. I shall not discuss mob law, but let me ask if evidence and revenge have ever leashed crime? "Liberty in the South consists in the ability to agree with the majority. The only hope is for division on some lines—state or national. We should demonstrate to the world that we can solve this problem, the solution of which means political and moral freedom. "Really the true solution is to get along with the Negro as beat we may, and to work towards the idea of racial and individual merit. We must educate the Negro. This is the key to the problem—education. Herefore it has been tried by a few fanatics and others from the North and has been as unpractical as it was fantastic "We must make a place in our social system for the Negro - an economic place: for a worker is far better than a loafer, no matter what his occupation. When we have created the peace, then let us prepare him for it by such schools as that of Dr. Washington at Tuskegee. By experience we have learned that the Negro does best in agriculture, then the only sensible solution is to educate him in it. Wealth equality does not mean invita- tions to dinner nor intermarriage with the whites—it means simply recognition of merit where it exists. As to suffrage, I know only one plan, and that is by education and property, which are recognized as proper qualifications. The Negro is, here with us; we are the ones concerned; it is our problem. Shall we solve it or not? Here as least is one sane Southern conception of the situation --- WELCOME THE SOLDIER BOYS. Monday, July 20, the 12th Cavalry will be in New York, back from long and distinguished service in the Philippines. The public knows the valiant and veteran Negro regiment as it knows the story of San Juan Hall to welcome and to honor the Teuth will be the rare privilege of the Negroes in and around New York. It is their duty on this occasion to show their appreciation. We urge every citizen of color to turn out and bid out gallant black boys in blue a hearty welcome. AN AABLE CONSUL. W H Hunt, the American Consul at St. James, France, is not only one of the most careful consummations and hard working officials of this government ever sent to that post, but he is one of the most popular. He is greatly admired by the French. He Hunt is instructs the capacity of a Negro and what a Negro can do. As a representative of the two sort to represent the government at a foreign post, he reflects the highest credit on the race. He is President of the Club France-Tranger, a literary organization for familiarizing readers with the languages, customs and business methods of the different nations. Also President of the Racing Club Stephansville to foot racing, football and other athletic sports. He is a member of different social and other clubs and is invited to participate in nearly everything that goes on in his communities. His relations with the government of材业 are of the most friendly and cordial character. An honor rate is bestowed on a foreigner was shown him recently by the French Government in conferring on him the honorary degree of 'Official d'Academie' which is generally conferred in recognition of literary work. But this was given in recognition of his long and meritorious work in Madagascar, as well as his interest in general affairs at St Etienne and his membership in the American Geographical Society of New York LIBERIA AGAIN The series of letters which we published some weeks ago dealing with Liberia, seems to have sturmed up quite a hurry's nest in Liberia. We would state for the information of our Liberian biathlete that our only object in publishing these letters was to help Liberia atitl not to hurt it. We accepted the letters in good faith. Or course, newspapers like other institutions are sometimes imposed upon. The letters, perhaps, contained much of truth and some statements that were not true. Those letters were not written by any one now residing in Liberia. They were written by an individual who had ample opportunity, as we thought to investigate and find out the facts. We want to say to our Liberian brethren while we are on the subject that we have received enough unofficial information as a result of the recent visit of the Liberian Commission to place us thoroughly in the future on the side of Liberia. We are convinced that Liberia has been grossly imposed upon, willified and misrepresented in most cases. This has been done for selfish purposes. England and France seem to halt at no act, however vicious, that would give them a hold in Liberia. The Liberians, under all the circumstances, have conducted themselves in a most commendable manner. Notwithstanding the fact that they have been grossly treated in connection with the so-called loans from foreigners, the Liberian government has religiously paid the interest whenever it became due on these loans. The credit of Liberia is good. The American Negroes have a great chance to show their race loyalty by standing by Liberia. We hope they will let no opportunity pass in which to impress President Taft and his Cabinet of their interest in Liberia. We know the truth now regarding Liberia, and we shall speak in no uncertain tones for ourselves in the future --- JEANES FUND BOARD MEETING. The Executive Committee of the Jeanes Fund Board held a meeting in New York a few days ago, at which were present Dr James H Dillard, President of the Board, Major R R Moton, Dr Booker T Washington, Bishop A Grant, Hon R L Smith, Dr Samuel C Mitchell and Dr H B Frissell At this meeting an appropriation of twenty-five thousand dollars was made to help various small rural schools in the South. Bishop Grant came all the way from the State of Kansas, and Hon. R L Smith from Texas, for the purpose of attending this meeting. THE NEW YORK AGEN THURSDAY, JULY 22: 1909. DUGRO'S DECISION REVERSED. DUGROUS DECISION REVEALED As we predicted at the time, the Supreme Court has reversed the offensive "color-line" decision of Justice Dugro, of the Trial Term, setting aside a verdict of $2,500 which George W Griffin, a Pullman porter had recovered against Daniel M Brady for false arrest. The Justice declared that the facts that Griffin was a Negro and a porter must be taken into account, and accordingly the damage award was excessive. We repeat what we said on the date of the Appellate Court decision in May. In failing to review and refute this unanimous slender, the Appellate Term became a party to this gross error. On appeal to the Supreme Court we do not believe that this part of the opinion will stand for an instant. If the color of a man's skin is to be taken into account in the dispensation of justice if the damage sustained be relative to the race of the sufferer, what becomes of the cardinal principle of justice, of equality before the law. If a man's occupation is an unfailing burden, his personal burden would not materially system enforced by law. The logical conclusions of Justice Dugro's remarks are so astounding as to cause us to wonder how such a curious judicial phenomenon could find its way in the twentieth century into a New York court of law. Judge Dugro bodily provokes his attorney of the Negro and the Negro position. He does not know that there is many a black gentleman who may man perish. He does not know that many Negroes capable of and fitted for higher work into manual service. He does not know that these unjust conditions in the Negro's breast rattle with a bitterness and anguish is permeated by no white man. He did not reason to the point that the false arrest and imprisonment by a boasting Southerner of so proud and independent Negroes in New York could be the answer of justice. Dugro in its intitollum Dred Scott concession of Negro method is past understanding. We are going to the higher level has some special rights to play us up to the Negro MONUMENT TO BISHOP GALLOWAY MONUMENT TO BISHOP GALLOWAY The white citizen of Mississippi is making an effort to raise money with which to erect a monument to the late Bishop C. E. Galloway. This is an important and prestigious. We hope that every Negro of Mississippi and throughout the country for that matter who can possibly do so will contribute his money toward the creation of this monument. Certainly the Negro race had no better not braver friend than Bishop Galloway. Here is a special opportunity to exhibit our gratitude to this great character. LEGAL LYONS OF TEXAS Who is Cecil Lyons of Texas. On what most doth he teed that he has grown so fat. From all parts of Texas comes reports from Negroes to the effect that Cecil Lyons, who is the Chairman of the Republican State Committee and also the National Committeeman, is now actively engaged in trying to displace Negroes from office throughout the State of Texas just as far as he can. Mr Lyons has had charge of political affairs in Texas for a good many years. He claims to do all the Lily White Republicans in the South that it he can get rid of the Negro that the white people will kill the Republican standard. This is true as recent Texas history shows. When the Negroes were represented in official position in Texas and were active in attending conventions they sent a Republic in Congressman to Washington every year in the person of Congressman Hawley. Since Cecil Lyons has had charge no Republican Congressman has appeared in Washington. We are sure that President Laft is being deceased by Cecil Lyons, and that he does not know what this man is doing. We are also sure that the Negroes in Texas should wake up and make themselves heard, both in the party and at the Capitol of the Nation. The State of Texas does not cast a single Republican electoral vote, and is not likely to do so. The thousands of Negroes who do vote and have their votes counted will bear Mr Cecil Lyons in mind. --- TWO INTERESTING LETTERS Below we publish two communications which explain themselves **GREENVILLE.** Miss. Saturday —The communications given below, which fully explain themselves, have been accepted as a satisfactory settlement of the Bishop Lampton matter "Rev Stephenson Archer. Greenville. Miss "My Dear Sir Referring to your conversation at the depot in Greenville the morning I left, in which you advised me of the report that I had insulted or offended one of the young lady telephone operators, or friends of her, I beg to say that I utterly disclaim having said or done anything intended to offend or insult the young lady or any of her friends, and sincerely regret if I used any ex pression which would bear such construction, and if so I cheerfully withdraw it and apologize for it "I have never asked for or stood for social recognition or equality. You have known me for a quarter of a century, know what my life has been, and can bear me out in this. My home has always been in your community. I hope to spend the remainder of my life there I believe that the South is the best place for my people, and I would feel that I was false to them and lacking in my duty as Christian if I ever said or did anything to bring about race friction, or cause bad feeling among the white people toward my race "I earnestly request that you represent the matter in the right light to the community. Respectfully." "E. W. LAMPTON." "To the Public: "We are glad to be able to say that the foregoing communication is satisfactory to those interested and the spirit and tone of it is such as to remove any hostility which may have existed to the return of E. W. Lampton to Greenville These throw much light on American civilization from the Negro's standpoint and from the white man's standpoint --- JOURNAL AND NEGRO COMEDIANS. Wonder if our readers have seen in the July Ladies' Home Journal an interesting piece of music composed by Cole and Johnson. Certainly if these gentlemen did not possess musical talent of a high order they could not get into the pages of such a widely recognized publication as the Ladies' Home Journal. Certain portions of our race are constantly advertising the fact that they have no chance. Men who can really accomplish something seem to have more fields of usefulness opened up before them now than at any other time in the history of the race. While speaking of Cole and Johnson we are led to make one other observation. These gentlemen are now in the hightday of their prosperity. They are at the top so to speak in their profession. While not pretending to modify into their personal business we would take the liberty of suggesting that they are some of the good things of this world now before it is too late. We have had one or two examples of men who have succeeded in the the ethical world who have a certain amount of money set when they died to not sick they were in poverty. We hope that Cole and Johnson will take warning from what has taken place in the case of others --- A HEATHENISH OLTRAGE In murdering of a blind Negro preacher by white ruffians in or near Liberty, (a, some days ago) is the most ferocious and barbaric outrage that has disgraced our country for a long while. Some force ought to be able to wake the South up to the disgrace which it outlaws upon itself through these outrages. --- EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHT. President Taft makes his first Negro appointment in the North manning James M Alexander of Los Angeles as cashier under the collector for the Sixth Internal Revenue District of California. The President states that the appointment was made because it was the intention of President Roosevelt to appoint Mr. Alexander, but the money was not available to organize the office until the beginning of the present fiscal year. The rabid anti Taft Negro press jumps to say, "I told you so," but what will it say at Mr. Taft's next move. I. B. Bell, a wealthy Texas Negro sounded the alarm at the Waco meeting of the Texas Business League to the plot of the delegation of whites to trust the hundreds of Negro Liberals on the Southern Pacific Railroad at Houston. Just like the Georgia officials's the Southern officials at New York answered. The Negroes are all right! It was highly proper that this other Southern awakening should have come from Mr. Bell at Waco. I. C. Gilmer, the Negro state librarian of West Virginia, has been reappointed by Governor Glassock to serve a term of four years beginning March 4, 1909. One of our Virginia contemporaries all along contending that West Virginia is not a Southern state may be right. Take it all back, Brother Gilmer From high sources it comes to Tim Ang that President Simon has directed Minister Sannon to state to the State Department that Hatt would be pleased to have the American minister. Dr H W Furniss, returned Well, Minister Furniss has returned, and it appears that the State Department also was pleased. Harris Dixon in one breath in Hampton's Magazine says the thriftless Negro of the South works fewer days, earns and saves more money than any similar laborer on earth, and cites one plantation where the heads of the family average 112 days a year, and save from $300 to $600 a year each. Talk about "thriftless." Judge, how can you do it? Robert A Pelham, of Washington, D.C., recently secured sweet revenge against Officer "Jack" Watts, who are rested him for interfering with the brutal assault the officer was making on a colored woman about to be arrested. The bumptious district policeman fined $20 will henceforth have a very dear regard for Mr Pelham Justice Dugro, of Dred-Scott Pullman porter decession fame, although reversed in the higher court, apparently won the boon he sought, a place in the popular limelight. But how short his moment He made a noise like a donkey and was kicked away. All up: Here's to the Tenth Cavalry! First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of their countrymen.

Few of them fought thousands Did the southern fields bedew In the darkness of their bondage. In the depths of slavery a night The skulls dashed the dawning. And they sang. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY The animal conventions and gatherings of various descriptions are now on it. It is very fortunate that most of these or organizations are now achieving practical good by their sessions. In an organization such as the National Business League which meets in Louisville next year, we find constant inspiration Each year the club has more progress is noted. A view more banks grocers drug stores industries and the big have been established. Better crops are grown. More homes are purchased. Better openings and opportunities are found. Thus we take more and more like going down on our own. There are more and more disgusting. Keep them out of the profession. There is a great interest for us in America. The club has doubled. He has sent out the Light says the following and advice to the Negroes of this State touching the forthcoming election as to the nomination of deputies. We advise every Negro that we can vote for prohibition in the August election. Those Negroes who are not registered and come to vote will not be allowed to work and work at the highest trail in our State. Negroes suffer more hardships than the use of labor than from any other labor probably save ignorance, and will for a long time as they will continue to use it when they can get it. The vote for prohibition in August will help the use of the masses to get education make up of the masses to get education will save their time and money and bring about better behavior. The Southern Reporter We believe that there never was a better opportunity for young men to build their career than now. While we will conceive the battle of life is harder in many respects owing to the keen competition of the times, but it should be remembered that the schools and colleges are prepared and can send out men fully prepared for work with young men who are preparing themselves for the future should remember that the very best character will be required. The young man with a cigarette in his mouth and the one that has just left the trap game will find their opportunities limited. The noisy, anlady-like girl will have to look a long time before she can find employment 'the business world would be happy' because of the very best characters, those who can and are willing to do something. The R-former. That our position in the commercial make up and affair of this city must become more potent and thus provide a greater measure of desirable consideration to evident on every one who is not fully blind to the necessities. Requirement of the necessity continues of the laxity governing our people here with reference to their many foster indifference to business affairs as requirements demand while it may receive the plumbing of the grossly pleasuring element of the race as its calon as a race in a desirable position for which there is no punishable excuse at this day and time when comparisons are made. The opportunities are here and others are seizing upon them while our people are spending entirely too much on cursions, pincers and southern rides. The New Orleans) and southern rides. Industrialism is undoubtedly a good thing, but it should not be promoted at the expense of downright mind culture. This adage is 'The greatest thing in this world is man and the greatest thing in man is mind. Teach the young boys to work out that they go into business they remember that the mind is the measure of the man. A training school is all right provided that we have suited timber to be utilized. The Baptist Sentiment. The business prosperity of the race is encouraging in many proposes as cultured men decide to enter into business they remember that if it is worth doing at all it should be well done. The hapless makeshift does not presume to enter into the business arena. He knows that he can not get that class of patronage that guarantees success. This means that the Nego business man is entering the field fully prepared to meet legitimate com petition. He has been granted notions of business among our people and these notions should be carried out to the letter. The Nashville Clarion Mayer Grinstead is to the Negroes of Louisville what Abraham Lincoln was January 1 1903. He has given you the right to go to the polls and vote, and the votes counted as cast. This our opponents have always denied the better class of Negroes in this city. Only a few "hang-on" have had such privileges in the past. The Louisville Columba THE NEEDS OF LIBERIA Semi-Official Statement from Liberia as to Customs, Debt and Boundary. The Liberian Register, the administration organ of Liberia, in its issue of May 10, in this semi official statement speaks of the needs of the African republic. This was evidently intended for the eyes of the American commission, which had just arrived at Monrovia. In these four ways the organ can meet the needs of Liberia. It is remarkable what a profound imposition coming of the American commissioners has made upon the people of Liberia. There are many here who come from America, and the vast majority of those who did not are the descendants of the original stock. Their hearts beat warm toward the Mother Country. Every day as they look out upon the formidable scouting cruisers lying at anchor in the harbor you can hear old times—the days of our fathers, when the United States Government showed an interest in us. I am glad I've lived to see it'. And it is evident that they mean it, and are depending upon the United States to find a way to assist them in their effort to help themselves." Feeling of Independence. "This does not signify that they expect anything given them—not at all; Liberia wants to make her own way; but she realizes that the United States is a republic. Strong one, an independent one, while she, though a republic also, is not only young, but sadly in need of that assistance which only a republic can give. The United States is responsible for her birth and very largely for her form of government and while we do not assert that she is obligated to give our assistance we declare that it is most natural for Liberia to expect it." "But how can the United States help Liberia in a really effective way? For some weeks we have been trying to gather the thought of the people on this particular point. Not only have we concerned with many from different parts of the country but have also resolved solutions adopted by the different county conventions. It is not surprising that there should be various opinions, for that it should be so most natural. It is gratifying however, to know that there is comparative unanimity on some of the issues vital to the life and well-being of the republic. Of these we take occasion at this time to give only the most important. The people of Liberia wish the United States or capitalists of that country to take over our public affairs we wish to make our public and now that there is no desire to repudiate one out of our national obligations no matter how it can stand against us. It is not very large, and we believe that if defended at a reasonable rate of interest and on terms that are fair to our credit the debt can be easily managed. They desire the United States to supress our local affairs and see to the collection of ten citizens of providing man to do so who are especially experienced in this field. This is intended not only to train our young men in the department of the government but to assure those who may come to our possession in the payment of the debt that we mean to protect them in every way possible. They want to live, but she wants to be just to all men. She satisfies that she needs friends, for friends, friends who will be a good asset and advises to give her the best. This she confidently believes the United States will do. Reorganization Needed "The people feel that there are some other departments of the government which need reorganization and strengthening namely the military interior postal educational agricultural and public, by the new and possibly more modern the United States, and especially from the United States that should be published in them. They realize that the government may not be financially able to employ all of such men that she may need but a few must be secured if substantial progress is made." In the middle and last place our lit. the republic has lost so much territory in the adjustments of her boundary from time to time that our people would like if possible, to come to some such agreement with the United States as will secure the presence of at least one of her representatives on all such occasions to guard the interests of Liberia. "And further we desire to say that the Liberian people in making these requests are not prompted by either the thought or the wish that the United States should respect their rights. They anticipate no such contingency. They want no war, there will be no war the tendency of the times is not in that direction. Liberia needs far more the friendly advice of some capable and unselfish power that will stand by to aid the Liberian people in all legitimate efforts to help herself." The Government's Attitude "Certainly, a government which would throw open all of its offices to the commissioners, and the head of which would repute and fix up at his private expense the commissioners from America, causing perfect goodness to facilitate their work and to impress them as to our good will not honestly be said to oppose every thing American. It shows sound sense home in in allowing to remain on the ground, and in allowing to expire sending ordinal approval. America fostering interest toward Liberia." LIBERIAN EDUCATOR OBJECTS To Age Correspondents 'Trencheron' Dealing With Iberian College To the Editor of THE NEW YORK NEW YORK WE hearing date April 19, 2009, appears the scathing, false and envious article directed against the entire educational system of Liberia, against certain directors of education and against Dr Richardson as president of Liberia College in particular. The faculty of sud college is treacherously dealt with while the college of West Africa, which is doing a good work in the country, and the old solid school of Miss Mary Sharp from which has emanated one of the leading educators of this community. Dr B W Payne as well as the young but promising school of the African Methodist Episcopal Church organized by Bishop W H Heard recently have not been thought sufficient of by the scholarly writer (2) to be mentioned in his letter. Believing that you, gentlemen, desire to publish in your valuable paper the truth, and the unarmed truth, I have been requested by the president and faculty of Liberia College to address you this letter, with the view of ascertaining from you if you will be kind enough to furnish it, the name of the writer of the article here referred to, viz., "Practical Education - Is Greatly Needed by the People of Little Negro Republic, Dr Robt Richardson President of Liberia College Accused of Immorality, Many Charges of Lewduess Made Against Him" A disclosure of the name true name of that nefarious writer, a purported American will be hailed as a most beating tribute paid to the people of Liberia, who are as a whole, exceedingly vexed over such a wicked blow. And this doubly so when this country is now seeking a closer relation with her mother country. Thanking you in advance I am your respectful. Montana Liberia W C A June 10 1909 Peaceful, patient plodding, ever hopeful, ever happy, the American Negro has earned and now owns more of our native soil than ever before after he entered heart and soul in all that is American. He has caught the true spirit of American patriotism as firmly as black hands caught hold of the falling flag of freedom in the dark days of our civil war, and he will carry it as bravely and hand it down to us as untarnished. We all American for have caught the spirit of American patriotism—The Burton Gassette. Some Ungly Features of the Negro's Loss of Political Consequence in the Southern States. The trite saying that you can't have your pie and eat it holds just the same in politics as in pie. Indeed, the saying may be carried into all of the affairs of mankind with the same result. The spent bullet comes, not back again, and the bucket of milk splits, as split. Most of the maxims which have drifted out of the past into the present embody the wisdom of the ages, and remain unshaken in their application to every day life. But like to the lessons on the life of each person, they are oftener honored in the breach than in the objection. The policy which President Taft is pursuing in the Southern States of this regardring partisan ambitions in making Federal appointments which is typified in the order as to the selection of operas supervisors may offend the sense of the eternal fitness of things partisan and wound the feelings of Negro Republicans who have borne the heat and burden of Republican odium in the Southern States, but in the absence of interest in or the absence of control of such organization as exists their interests will not be considered not because they are their interests, but because their interests are not protected by organization. Any other people than Negros in like condition would be treated in like manner. It is not a question of color or of organization of the organization in the tangible power of negroed inhabitants. It counts irresistibly only in politics but in every other part of human thought and effort. Besides the Southern Negroes in organization and have had more success they have been since then and they are now political derelicts each discharging his way as the currents now harbors him now as an issue such as Rescue Cooking made it in his last political speed in New York, the last effective wave of the "bloody short" made bloody in Democratic butchers. Men are prone to worry about when the pet corn are tread upon. Their child do not move the offenders unless the owners of the corn are strong enough to move the offenders. Who is responsible for the condition of political disorganization and demoralization which exists in the Southern States? Did man or black men fetch it about? In the absence of representation in the Congress, the national committee is the party representative and apportion the pattern. He is the whole IT Nat Negro politician in the South in part of this fact. The committee is selected by the delegates to the national convention, at the time and place holding the convention. In every convention since 1876 a large majority of the delegates from every Southern state have Negroes. The record is show this to be true. How many members of the national committee have the elected in that time? Only four for the District of Columbia, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas. Twelve years ago at the St Louis convention last year the Ouachita remaining Judson W. Lewis of Georgia was replaced by a white man by black delegates. Now there is not a Negro of the national committee in the national spokesman of the Negro party in the highest council of the party the convention being the highest not in the gross not because Negroes had not majority of the delegates in the convention at Chicago from the Southern State but because, as they had been done in 1876, they deliberately selected white to represent them in the national committee. Now, that is what I will call your political pie and bring better you have it not when the white teamer apportion the honors and emblems of party success among white is a species of inebility not expected of children above ten years of age. Republican politics in some of Southern States became so demanding in the administrations of President Kinley and President Roosevelt that its government was taken out of the hands of the Negroes entirely and placed in hands of three white referents for State. I always objected to the re- system, and object to it now as has nothing of delegated authority from partisans of the States upon which we foisted by the President or the man of the national committee and was aggravated the case in God where referents were so placed in case although Hon Judson W. Lewis was committeman for Georgia. If the Negro Republicans of the Southern States want to have power beyond national conventions they must be when they have it, by eliciting a committeemen of their own at national convention next to be given a chance to admit participation by having no committeeman to represent them may therefore protest and make a noise as they have a mind to but be simply protest and noise. T. THOMAS FORD Victory for Fairness Governoroke Smith wanted attention, by Georgia administration, to Georgia Railroad through which he has got a result which he expected. The administration has the public expected. The Negroes declaring that they should be retained going so far as to give them full which they did not have before, and rights of security. To be sure, they not allow them to graduate into the tion of engineer, which is reserved white men only. It is a victory nee and justice, and it will be those who made the strike to themselves with the doctrine which have been taught so assiduously, the namuch as Negroes are inherently they cannot fear that the string of wares to Negroes will result in extene to some extent from employees the railroad may have preferred when equally competent, because cheaper wages. -The Independent.

He painted a hopeful picture of the future of the Republic as he had perceived within the elements of a strong national character a determination to preserve their territorial rights and an intense desire to keep abreast of the ideals and standards set by the people of America.

ANTI-TAFT MAN. Endorned in Cleveland for Either Assistant Register of Treasury or Assistant Recorder of Deeds. CLEVELAND, O. July 20—It was rumored here last week that W H Clifford, of this city, is a candidate for either Assistant Register of the Treasury or Assistant Recorder of Deeds at Washington, and that he has been endorsed by the local county' leader Maurice Mashke. The rumor has caused surprise and consternation in the ranks of the original Laft Negroes, for it was generally accepted here that Clifford was an anti Laft man. Men like Fleming, Brascher and Martin, who were early in the held for Laft, and who did great service for him cannot understand what claim Clifford has for service not rendered and it is believed that they will vigorously oppose his selection. Mr. Clifford has for several years been located in Washington where he now holds a workshop in the department there. It is not believed how ever that he has any show of banking. Better moving to Washington in his hold except that post office here alone which was not on ship in the State Legislature.

WALTON IN THE VAUDEVILLE WORLD WHRN you look over the present vaudeville situation in the East, so far as it affects the colored performer, you are not disposed to give three hearty cheers and declare with enthusiasm that prospects appear bright To use one of Bert Williams' lines in "Bandanna Land," things look pretty cloudy." In summing up the situation the writer does not desire to make it appear that hundreds of colored acts will be out of work during the season of 1909-10. Far from that, but there will be less standard acts in the big offices than ever before. Last year the standard acts included Avery and Hart, Brown and Nevarro, Cooper and Robinson, Anderson and Goines, Cook and Stevens, the Brittons, the "Sunny South," Carter and Bluford, Fiddler and Shelton, the "Dixie Serenaders" Irving Jones and probably one or two others that at this time we do not recall. The majority of the above mentioned acts had booking throughout last season and stood well in the United Brooklyn Office. William Morris' presence in the vaudeville world has tended to make the situation more complex, as many of the best colored acts have gone over to his circuit. The Brittons, who had forty-odd weeks of it with the United people last season, have signed to play twenty consecutive weeks the coming season for Morris. Brown and Nevarro have given up vaudeville for a year and will appear with the Williams and Walker Company throughout the season of 1909-10, at the close of which they will go to England under the management of Morris. This leaves with the United office for the coming season Avery and Hart, the biggest colored act in vaudeville. Cooper and Robinson, Anderson and Golnes, Fiddler and Shelton, Cook and Stevens, Irving Jones, the "Sunny South" and the "Dixie Serenaders." There is a possibility of Desmond and Bailey, who have been securing some good booking since their debut last winter as a sister team, being considered a standard act in the United office. One reason that prospects do not appear roseate for the colored vaudevillians is that even the so-called standard acts have not been given a string of consecutive time up to this writing. They are very slow in the United this season booking white and colored acts. Four weeks ago the managers started making out routes, but very few acts of any description have been assured of good booking. The managers tell the colored performers what they tell many of the white ones—even the "White Rats"—that they find it necessary to go slower than usual in booking this season, but that everything will terminate satisfactory to all concerned. More Novel Colored Acts Needed. Although we must admit that there is some prejudice against colored acts during this theatrical era it is well known that there has been a class of colored acts presented in recent years that has made bad business for colored vaudevillians. There was a time when all a colored performer had to do to merit aplause was to sing a coon song and cake walk across the stage, but such work does not bring forth compliments nowadays. Many of our variety artists seem to lack originality during this great demand for novelties, and while they charge that race prejudice is solely to blame for the long vacations they are compelled to take from time to time, they seldom ask themselves the question: Have I anything to do with my present condition? It is certainly a treat to see a colored male team that has an act out of the ordinary. As a rule make up your mind to see a pocket edition of Williams and Walker. You get the dandy and his appy, go-lucky slovenly-dressed part. They sing a few songs individually collectively, dance at the finish of our last number and make their exit years ago, say five years ago, such were entertaining, but the public is exacting to stand for the same line entertainment year after year. It a change whether you be white or ' and when you fail to cater to you cease to be eagerly sought the managers. There was a who booking scripts followed col- and performers about to do business with them in almost the same spirit as a crowd allows a baseball hero; but the theatrical business has become so rounded out that the performer must follow the agent now, and when he is fortunate enough to get a hearing must be able to present an act that is in keeping with the rapidly-changing tastes of the public. The fact that you had a colored act and went big five years ago does not mean anything o the managers now. As it tires of other forms of entertainment, the East is tired at this time of the usual colored acts that have been smashing the attention of the public for years. But this section of the country not only however, of all colored acts been worn in the past few weeks, W. W. Adams, Aida Overton Walker, having girls, and the "Lime" are examples of what the girls and will stand for if you pre-goers something out of these acts were big hits used the hearty approval of the to say anything of the pre-hite press.

Homeer Tutt, straight man, as "Sam Cain," appearing with Barton, Wiswell and Nolan's Smart Set Company touring the South. EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON West, Colored Vaudevillian." At this time there is a demand for colored acts in the western country, and the colored performers are taking advantage of such an agreeable circumstance. The Pantages Circuit seems to offer the greatest inducements, and as the "Chocolate Drops" and a few other colored acts have broken down the traditions in the Sullivan-Considine office about giving work to colored performers, it is likely that a number will be booked by that circuit. As to whether the Orpheum Circuit, which affiliates with the United people, will live up to its former custom of using several colored acts remains to be seen. The "Sunny South" act is appearing over the big western circuit, and has been booked up to November. From abroad also comes a demand for colored acts, and several have seen the "red moon," which means trouble and have hied themselves to Europe with the hope that after sixteen months or more of work in the old country affairs, theatrically speaking, will have taken a decided change for better conditions. S Tutt Whitney, comedian, as "Cain," appearing with Barry So much for the big acts that are regarded as standard and "near standard," the ones which are supposed to reflect the advancement being made by colored performers in vaudeville. But something should be said of the vaudevillians of less note. It is probable that there will be more small colored acts in vaudeville this winter than ever before. Every day you hear of a new act being formed to work in the moving-picture theatres, which houses, by the way, are the ones making it so hard for the United people. Throughout the United States wherever a big vaudeville house has been located, many moving picture theatres have been started in the neighboring vicinity, thus making the business of the large variety house decrease correspondingly. Referring again to the colored vaudevillians who have not yet managed to attract the attention of the big managers, judging from the additional number of moving pictures to be opened in the fall, they should not experience any difficulty in getting work. There is yet time for conditions to assume a brighter hue in the United and the Morris offices with reference to colored acts, and we hope before the expiration of many weeks to be able to speak of the standard acts in a more hopeful vein.

In speaking of joining the show, Tom Brown said, "Many people seem to be under the impression that I am to succeed Mr. Walker, and my wife, Mrs Walker. In the first place, I think it would be almost impossible for any one to try to fill their places. Secondly, we have a specialty act. and, as there is a demand for such acts in musical shows, as was shown by Eva Tanguay being engaged for the "Follies of 1009" on the New York Roof, the Williams and Walker management decided to use a specialty, and we came to terms."

Eleven Inning Game at Manhattan Field. THOSE who took the time last Sunday to travel to Manhattan Field. which is located near 300th street, were well repaid for their long journey by seeing an eleven-minning game between the Philadelphia Giants and the Manhattans. The principal attractions were Jack Meyers, the Indian catcher of the New York National League team, who was umpire, the Philadelphia Giants and Andy Coakley, who pitched for the Manhattans. Aside from Coakley, the Manhattan aggregation is a mediocre bunch, but with a pitcher doing the slab work of Coakley's ability, the team showed up strong. It will be remembered that Coakley was one of the Chicago Cubs last season. During the early part of this season he had some controversy with the Chicago managers because they did not give him a part of the money distributed among the players who took part in the post-season series games. The Manhattants made three runs in the fifth inning, due to errors and bad judgment in throwing to bases on the part of the Giants.

Many Teachers Taking Special Courses. Fellowship Club's Entertainment. Regular Correspondence of The AOR. CHICAGO 11, July 20 - The streets of Chicago are again filled with summer visitors from all parts of the country, and especially from the "Sunny South." A large portion of them are teachers most of whom are taking special courses of study in Chicago University. It certainly cannot be said that these young men and women take the profession of teaching lightly and as a mere means of earning a good living. The ambition to excel and render to the utmost efficient service in the great task of educational uplift is everywhere manifest. A more zealous and enthusiastic group of young people cannot be found than those very teachers of the untaught thousands in the states below the Ohio. The Frederick Douglass Center, as is its established custom, arranges to extend cordial hospitality to the visitors. This year there is being arranged a series of social functions for the visitors at the Center. The first reception was given on the evening of July 16. Music flowers, informal and interesting exchange of views on educational work and pleasant converse between visitors and friends made up a delightful program for the evening Among those present was Dean Talbert, dean of the Woman's Department of the Chicago University. This is the first time that a high official of the university has given her presence and personal influence to so large a group of Negroes in Chicago. Another prominent visitor was Miss S F Breckenridge, the gallant young Kentuckian and daughter of one of the most noted families of the South. Miss Breckenridge is always interested in behalf of struggling young college students. There was also present Rev Miss Von Petsold, a graduate of Oxford University, England, and who comes to this country in real democratic chivalry to enlist her services in every cause for a larger democracy and a more genuine brotherhood of all mankind Some of the students and teachers present were, J H Holman, graduate of Meharry College, B G Brawley professor of English of the Atlanta Baptist College, George C Taylor of Van Buren, Ark, Grace J Thompson, of Shaw University, Charlotte R Campbell, West Virginia Institute, Kate P Craig, Austin, Tex, Bessie Morris Wilberforce University, David Haynes, Wilberforce, Edward W Lethridge, Bishop College, Victoria, Tex, Susie B Alexander, San Antonio, Essie Jackson, Washington, D C; Mrs M G Bennett, Paris, Tex, Miss Edith Millen, Marshall Mo, Bessie Simons, Atlanta, Ga, Miss Anna Mengel, Atlanta, Ga, Mr H P Mosely, Porter School, Miss Julia Givens, Austin, Tex. The Fellowship Club, the oldest so-called organization in Chicago, held high function Friday night last, in which there was a more or less compatible mixture of feasting, vaudeville, games and serious discussion of the race question "The Awakening of Race Consciousness," was the interesting theme which Lawyers W L Farmer, F S Dennison, S L Williams, R A J Shaw, E H Morris and I I Barnett wrestled with in vigorous fashion until near breakfast time the next morning. The membership of the club includes some of the best known men in Chicago Among them are Joseph Kelly, Dr F S Miller, Dr Buckner R V J Shaw J L Parks W L Martin A P Perry John Auster Dr W L Garnett George Walker and Alfred Anderson. The club has survived many organization similar in purpose, and its present members are ambitious to become in bishalf of the Negro race what so many influential white clubs are to their people.

A special building adapted to the special needs of Y M C A work is the expectation, if the membership of the organization continues to increase. The present efficient secretary is proving himself a worthy successor to his predecessor, Mr W F Debarlebeen, now of the Baltimore Branch. He has taken hold of the task with much enthusiasm. The branch has been favored in having wise and energetic secretaries, who have maintained a standard of efficiency in the work. Outside of the New York branch the membership of the Montclair branch is the largest of the colored branches in this section. Mr and Mrs Moses Simmons, of 15 Charles street, well known to the older residents of New York, celebrated the thirty-first anniversary of their marriage last Thursday night. The house was crowded with guests from the Oranges Montclair and New York Prompts at 10 o'clock to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March the happy couple entered the reception room and were remitted in marriage by the Rev F H Butler, pastor of St Mark's M F Church.

Mother Zion Church was thronged on last Sunday at all three of its services to listen to three ably delivered sermons by Rev Mr Bolden.

The congregations are surprisingly large for this time of the year, and the pastor is highly gratified by the interest and co-operation manifested by the members. A grand reception was tendered Rev Mr Bolden and his wife on Wednesday evening by the members of the church under the auspices of the board of stewardesses. Several of the most prominent men in the city were present and assisted in extending the glad hand to the new pastor and his helpmate.
