VOL. XXII. No. 51. HENSON TO BE ENTERTAINED Warm Welcome In Store For Negro Arctic Explorer COMMITTEE BUSY Plans Being Laid to Make Him Principal Guest of Hudson-Fulton Celebration Steps at Pole One Night—Helped Raise Stars and Stripes—Thinks Negreen Can Stand as Much Exposure as White Men. When Matthew Henson, Commander Robert E. Peary's Negro heutenant, and one of the Americans who reached the North Pole, comes to New York City he will find the Negro citizens anxiously awaiting his arrival to give him the reception of his life. Extensive arrangements are being made to entertain the explorer during his stay in this city, and the only reason that all plans have not been perfected is due to the uncertainty of the Peary party's arrival here. It is the intention of the Citizens' Committee having in charge the Hudson-Fulton celebration, to make Henson the principal guest of the celebration if the party reaches New York in time. He will be aboard the steamer Glenn, which has been assigned a place in line in the Hudson-Fulton parade on water October 1st. Matthew Henson boasts of having personally assisted in raising the American flag, and gives the following account about the finding of the North Pole by the Peary party: "Having spent eighteen years with Commander Peary and a considerable portion of that time in the artic," said Henson, "I have acquired a knowledge at the dialect of the Northern Greenland, Eskimos, who are probably suppressed by travellers in the Far North. The Eskimos entertain a strange prejudice toward any tongue but one, and it is therefore necessary, for successful dealing with them, to study their unwritten language. "We arrived at the pole, just before noon on April 6, the party consisting of the Commander, myself, four Eskimos, and thirty-six dogs, divided into two detachments equal in number and headed respectively by Commander Peary and myself. We had left the last supporting party at 87 degrees 53 minutes, where we separated from Capt Bartlett, who was photographed by the Commander Capt Bartlett regretted that he did not have a British flag to erect on the ice at this spot so that the photograph might show this as the farthest north to which the banner of England had been advanced. I kept a personal diary during this historic dash across the ice field. Slept One Night at the Polo "Our first task on reaching the pole was to build two igloos, as the weather was hard and prevented taking accurate observations to confirm the distance travelled from Cape Columbia. Having completed the snow houses we had dinner which included tea made on our alcohol stove, and then retired to rest, thus sleeping one night at the north pole. "The arctic sun was shining when I awoke and found the Commander already up. There was only wind enough to blow out the small flags. The ensigns were hoisted toward noon from tent poles and tied with fish lines. "We had figured out the distance pretty closely and did not go beyond the pole. The flags were up about midday April 7 and were not moved until late that evening. The haze had cleared away early, but we wanted some hours to take observations. We made these close together. "When we first raised the American flag in position was behind the igloos which according to our mutual observations was the position of the pole but on take subsequent observations the Stars and Stripes were moved and placed on the west of the first position. We difference in the observation being drawn to the moving ice. Flag Nosed Short Distance When the flag was placed Com- mander Dee, exclaimed in English "W will plant the Stars and Strikes at the next pole" In the native language I prop-sed three schisms, which were given in the Eskimo on tongue. Commander Pearl hinds all around and we had to leral dinner than usual, each sitting as much as he slept. The Eskimos danced about and danced at pleasure that the roc- t at the table. For years the Eskimo was going to teach that schism with them. The Eskimos danced mears, get frozen. They examined the roc-t at the table there at last. Salted sea of ice The schisms were about the schism elsewhere in the Eskimo. It was a solid sea of two foot lead of open frozen from the pole who went along on the THE NEW THE MISSING MEMBER EXPLORER MATTHEW HENSON Who Will be Entertained by the Negro Citizens of New York final lap were Goodbye with O'Reilly, ceah and Sigloo, the two first being brothers. Commander Peary took photographs of Hess, and the Izamos waving flags and clashing. "The report is absolutely untrue," continued Henson, "that I did not go to the pole. I went the whole distance side by side with the Commander and just as far as he did." Henson added that he knew that some of the expedition did not wish him to go to the pole, if it were not present it, but he knew that before he started. He also said that he saw Command r Peary write the records which were left in the ice. The Eskimos who were with them, with the exception of Ouzaneeah, understood English and one of them could count a hundred. "At the pole," continued Henson, "we could see no open leash, and we were no distance beyond the flags. The ice near the igloos was at least ten feet high and the flags were placed on a hummock twenty feet in eight. The ice at the pole was about the same as on the journey up all rafted in between with small loops. Nearly all the words we had were from the northeast. Commander Peary had three thermometers, and the coolest day was 37 degrees, the low zeroahrenheit. I believe there is a little difference in the temperature at the pole from that some distance south. Evidence of New Volcano Henson learned from the Eskimos that for three days in Whale Sound last month they saw a cloud of smoke and there was an odor like bristlestone. The natives were greatly frightened, and Henson thought a new volcano had broken out, and so informed him. Henson made his first trip north in 1891. He went there because he was interested, and kept on going year after year. Of Commander Pears he said "He is the best man that we could have for Arctic expeditions. He has wonderful endurance and the weather never is too cold for him. Many times I would not leave the camp except for him. It never blows hard enough, nor can the snow drift deep enough to discourage the Commander. A compass course is all he desires. So long as a man does his work half decently the Commander never complains. The Eskimos think that there is no man like him." Matthew Henson was born in Washington but lived for a time in Florida. He says he prefers the north because it is too warm and there are too many mosquitoes in the South. He is quite proud to be the Negro to go to the farthest North. He says he cares less for glorses than for caring a living for his wife in New York.

II. first part of City Solicitor Irons' address was a brief history of Pittsburgh, to which he referred as the birthplace of the Republic in party, the party of liberty and freedom. His reference to Mayor Magee's policy of encouraging worthy and representative Negroes by appointment to office, as in the appointment of Wm M Randolph, city solicitor, with whom he is daily associated, was loudly applauded. After repeating a verse from Paul Lawrence Dunbar's poems, Attorney Irons paid a high compliment to him thor and also Dr Bocker I. Washington. He concluded his speech as follows "On behalf of the Mayor the city is now yours so long as you walk in the straight and narrow path, and should you stray from it all on the city fathers and we will do what we can for you - as the sun sometimes refuses to shine in Pittsburgh. I give you both the key and canteen." Meeting of the names of Dr Bocker I. Washington and Attorney Wm M Randolph can be great applause. On behalf of Dr Bocker a standing vote of the was extended the City Solicitor for his address. B. R.

"WILLIAM H TAFT" COLOPED DOLLS DISCUSSED Theme for Discussion & Twenty-ninth Annual Convention of ICCB Baptists Columbus, O., September 21—At the twenty-ninth annual session of the National Baptist Convention, held here last week at the Goodale Street Auditorium, the question of colored dolls was given no little consideration Two years ago the suggestion was advanced that colored children ought to play with colored dolls. It was advocated in the church conventions and was put forward as a subject of race pride. At the instigation of the last Baptist convention it was taken up by the National Baptist Publishing Board, which has $100,000 plant at Nashville, Tenn. owned and controlled by the convention, which meets here to day. The publishing board started out to manufacture dolls. From the first the output met with a ready sale, but never before has an exhibit been made in the North. A case about twenty feet long contains the exhibit brought here from Nashville. The dolls arrived early in the week when the work of preparing for the gathering was at an end every one had been sold. The purchasers were required to leave them on exhibition, however during the progress of the convention. There were dolls of all sorts and sizes. They range in dimensions from six inches to three feet and in price from 50 cents to $8. They were dressed in all sorts of styles. The features of the face approximate the Negro closely, without that exaggeration which is seen on most colored dolls offered for sale. All the work of these dolls, as, indeed, all the work in the publishing board's plant, which is the largest of its kind in the world, is done by Negroes Negroes and Whites Marry in New York In the face of recent agitation in New Jersey against the inter marriages of whites and Negroes, two licenses for such unions were issued in New York City last week. William Cunningham a Negro waiter, 10 years old obtained a license to marry Kate Norman a white widow seven years his junior. I nrest Surdez a Swiss 47 years old and a watchmaker by trade, took out a license to wed Minnie Smith, a dark mulatto woman born in Atlanta Ga.

Who Advocates Permanent Exposition of Works by Negroes. Last Friday evening the occasion was made notable by the address of Gov Charles S. Deneen who spoke before a large audience. So impressed was the Governor with the exhibits that during his speech he advocated the building of a large industrial home in which to have permanent exhibits of the work being done by the race in this city Gov. Deneen told of his recent visit to the Seattle Exposition, and declared that the industries of the country at the present day have a greater appeal to the imagination of youth and are now more sought after than the arts, sciences and professions, which in former years attracted thousands to their ranks. In the opinion of Gov. Deneen of the Negro youth had always before him the works which his race accomplished, it would be an incentive to his progress, the value at which could hardly be estimated. Attorney Edward H. Morris delivered the address of welcome to Gov. Deneen. Exhibits Praled by Governor. Gov. Deneen spoke in part as follows: "Men can talk until the end of time about what they are going to do and what they have done but no one takes much stock in their words until they have shown by their works what their abilities really is. Tons and tons of literature have been written about the Seattle Exposition, which I recently attended, but all the advertising in the world is unable to create the same impression on the mind as that concrete exhibit has done in bringing to the attention of the public the vast growth and accomplishments of the people of the western states. In Chicago the Negro race can bring about the same results to their benefit. As I looked over your exhibits here today, I was impressed with the great progress in industrial arts. Your race has made a great building ought to be erected in our city where the works of the New population could be kept in the public. You have opened the rest of the white race and you have shown how what you are able to do. The history of the country now inspires the imagination of the youth and the age for the better. Now they are going out of the professions to seek their jobs which they have been taught just as honorable as the bar and ministry. Instead of taking up the practice of law or following the arts and sciences they are taking up engineering; the building up of large business enterprises. THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA MOTHER A. M. E. ZION CHURCH REV. R. M. BOLDEN, Pastor 127 West 89th St. New York City Mother Zion Fills Vacancy. Large and interested audiences filled spaces Mother Zion Church last Sunday to listen to two most excellent sermons by the brilliant pastor, Rev. Bolden. Many strangers were present, both morning and evening. The program as rendered by Mr. William H. Dyer, with Louis Fenderson as master of ceremonies, was a most creditable one. Among those who took part were: Miss Lille Tuckett and Mrs. Sarah Chas. Jackson, solstolls; Mrs. Ella Gilbert and Carrie Quick duct; little Lorraine Everett and Miss Eva Long, piano solstolls; Madame Napolon, locutionist, and Miss Nellie Caldwell recited. The services were further enlivened by the pastor in rapid-fire questioning on the review of the lesson, which will be continued next Sunday. The second meeting of the Bible class on last Monday evening was carried on in a manner which bespeaks success. Rev. Bolden is planning to extend the charitable work of the church in a more public way. New Sunday will be the annual election of officers in the Sunday school. Miss Eva Porter has returned from a ten days' visit to the City of "Brotherly Love." Miss Mabel Diggs' testimonial on last Thursday evening proved a splendid success. Many people from all over the city gathered to listen to a fine musical program, among whom Mrs. Minnie Tapley, of the Williams and Walker company; Miss Diggs, in responding to the urgent calls for a selection, never sang better in her life; the Girl's Musical Club was sponsor for the entertainment, assisted by the Criterion Social Club of St. Mark's and the Junior Choir of Bethel. A handsome sum was realized. Miss Diggs has already left for Washington, where she goes to prosecute her musical studies. Gliphew Makes Flea for Local Society New York, Sept. 20, 1909. Rev. R. M. Bolden Pastor Mother Zion Church, New York City. My Dear Dr. Bolden—I am writing to appreciate you of some plans which I de- sire to submit to you with reference to the department of our Foreign Mission- ary Department. Since the department is here in New York I am the opinion that we ought to have in Mother Zion Church a strong and active Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. You are aware that we are considerable comment at the Missionary Council because the church is W. H. Hadden, F. M. the president her rightful place in the country is the greatest that a society be represented with Mrs. R. M. Bolden at the office is the consensus of opinion among the officials of the church that the president is practicable to do so, that the president's wife be made the president of the social society. Since you have a Bible school church, I will furnish you with such literature as will en- sure a deeper study in the home and work. May necessary encouragement from the Western Missionary Department will be forthcoming. Yours for success. R. WALTERS Bd F. M. Dept. There was considerable comment on the part of the visiting delegates as to why the local society of W H and F. M. organization was not in evidence at the meeting of the Connectional Council. I desire to assure the public that it was not the fault of the pastor or the members of the church. The reason for this inactivity of the local society I am not in a position to explain. But, in order that there may not be a recurrence of and that our missionary work may have a proper showing, the following W. H. and F. M. missionary organization has been effected and be on hand next month for R. M. Holden, husband: Mrs. Tabba, vice-president: Mrs. Lella Walters, secretary: Mrs. Mary B. Franklin, treasurer.

The Sunday School was well attended and made interesting with children's exercise. Percy C Smith, the superintendent, with James Bennett, assistant, are working up an interesting Sunday School. At 9 p.m. the pastor Rev W. H. Lacey, gave an earnest and instructive discourse on the education of the Negro from the text, "To the Unknown God." Sunday, September 26 will be Communion Sunday, and the Rev C I. Brown, known as "The Wild Man" will preach all day and conduct the 20 days in the Wilderness.

Harlem Zion Active The activity at "Little Zion" 230 East 137th street, under the pastorate of Dr. J H McMullen, was never more great than now. The special sermons are attracting crowds and creating great interest in the community. Every auxiliary "has a mind to work," and the inspiration of a new church in prospect is adding to this interest daily. Dr. Mo Mullen preached two able sermons last Sunday, the evening one being the second of his series on the "Beatitudes of the Apocalypse." White and colored sermons are manifesting their desire in the creation of a new church edifice, hence the subscription fund increases daily. Ty MME.

New York 25 West 133rd Street USKEGEE HAS BIG ENROLLMENT Molly Miller Visits Institute and Makes Address—Given Ovation. Attend to New York Acm special to TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, September 20 — One thousand thirty-four students registered Tuskegee during the opening week. The old students are not all in, by the end of the second week will be at least 1,500 students present. A cordial reception was given Professor Kell. Miller Wednesday, when he visited the institute. He addressed the entire faculty at 4 p. m. and the students at 7:30 p. m. The principal introduced Dr Miller as an advanced type of the race, as a man who represents a high degree of literary culture and one who, in spite of the acrid crirtisms of his surroundings, has controlled a large amount of popular esteem, and maintained the character of a sincere, an insight, and a Christian gentleman. The keynote of Professor Miller's address was "efficiency and race loyalty." He spoke without manuscript notes, and he used an older argument and forcible expression that affirmed his learned compositions that were combined in a happy degree. "The white race," he said, "has 'vantage out,' we must try it hard. To overcome it, we undergo avery. To overcome it, we a prophet provided the exigent be further enough away removed the exigent be further enough away removed BREACHER STILL BUSY. Head of "True Americana" Issues More Data in Order to Get Publicity. Rome, GA, September 22—Rev. J R Lamb, well-known preacher at Aragon, GA, and one of the promoters of the organization known as "True Americans," is working hard to get his organization in the limelight, despite the fact that he has been unable to arouse the people to take the action. The purpose of the organization in his campaign is to settle the race problem by an organized movement. Its aims are fourfold (1) To secure territory for the American Negro outside of the United States (2) To purchase at an honest price all lands in America owned by Negroes (3) To repeal the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and to disfranchise every Negro in America. (4) To temporarily Negro, down to deteronium blooms, to the territory secured for this purpose and to establish the race, in a government of its own, as a free and independent nation Delegates Disappointed by Foraker. COLUMBUS, O. September 21 — The delegates to the National Colored Convention were very much disappointed in the failure of Senator Foraker to be present last week.

Senator Foraker addressed his letter before last campaign. "Woken at Woman! Now to kill." WASHINGTON, D. C. September 22 — Charles Hammett is now doing six months in jail for winking at a white woman. When asked by Judge Kimball why he made goo-goo eyes at the plantiff, the defendant said: "I didn't know any one to introduce me as told Hammett. That's the way we do." "I advise you to go back to New York when you have served your sentence," remarked Judge Kimball. BOSTON BOOKLOVERS ENTERTAIN Bellhard Affairs at Exclusive Hotel— Students Return to Personals.

Woods and Reply by Atkins to Article Published in Metropolitan News. J. B. WOODS Statement by J. B. Woods and reply by Atkins to article published in Metropolitan News. Following is the correspondence that has taken place in Atkins-Woods contro- versy. Sept. 14. 1909 Dear Ski—I have read the article appearing in the Metropolitan News of September 2, 1900, in which you refer to myself in comma after the employment of the Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Co as agent, and I must say that I was very much surprised that such a reference was made to me, and that satisfactory arrangements had been made relative to any and all differences which may have occurred between me and the Metropolitan Merchant, and why I should be charged with a shortage in my accounts. As to the St. Louis office, I may not have followed instructions to the office of the money intrusted to me was expended for my own use. But believing that references to me in said article was prompted by certain information, I felt that the effect that since leaving the employment of the Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Co. that I used every opportunity to obtain, the effect of the public, I wish to state that you have been misinformed and, therefore are entirely wrong in that particular, as have been the Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Co. but, on the other hand, in many cases when the company has been assailed in my case, I have felt that you are doing this. And as to leaving the employ of the company, I left, as you well know, because I believed that by doing so, could this be the result for the Metropolitan Mercantile & Real- ty Co. by selling bonds and lots. Having made this statement, I trust that you will get the right conception of what you are doing further, that since hearing from me, and my calling your attention to the matter, that you will take such steps as justice requires to set matters right in the premises. I hereby call attention to the above statement, made by Mr. J. B. Wood, who was the author of the last smoothing, and the ground rescued ropotilant Mercantile & Realty Co., relative to an article written by me, which appeared in the metropolitan News of September 2, 1000. Referring to the article in question, I wish to state that the reference to Mr. Wood was purely incidental, and would not have been made bad I did not believe that Mr. Wood was using his former company to influence the public against it. Referring to that part of my article pertaining to the use of Mr. Wood used the company's money for the purposes, etc. I wish state that to our knowledge, Mr. Wood should have his personal use, but only acted contrary to instructions, and, therefore, in that statement we did not wish to, and do not, charge Mr. Wood with corruption or dis- As to my statement that Mr. Wood used the company's time and money to buy the equipment that he wanted to say that Mr. Wood organized his company, as I was informed, in the month of September, 1907. During that month the Metropolitan Company I did not mean that Mr. Wood had used collections that he had made for our company; but I have been assured that he had used the time for which our company paid in establishing his own company; but I have been assured that he organized until on or about October 1, 1907, at which time he was not in the employment of the Metropolitan Company, and upon that assurance, I find I was in sand gladly withdrawn the state-menture my relative to the same. ment mistakes to Mr. Wood being amused from our company, after finding out that he had organized a company of his own. I informed him that I thought he could not justly serve the two company owners, but I wanted to continue with his own company, I requested him to sever his connection with our company, and he did so, but subsequent threato he did business for our company and I was not satisfied. I hereby state that I have agreed with Mr. Wood that this statement shall be published for one week in the Metropolitan News, and sent to the subscribers and readers paper in the next or following issue thereof.

Capital $26,000.31 Entered at the Post Office at New York as Second-Class Matter TAFT TO MARYLAND: Again has President Taft notified Maryland and the South that he is opposed to the disfranchisement of the Negro. In a letter just made public, he writes I have already, in another letter, expressed my opinion in regard to its vicious character. It is deliberately drawn to impose educational and other qualifications for the suffrage upon Negroes and to exempt everybody else from such qualifications. This is gross injustice against the exploitation of the spirit of the Fifteenth Amendment. It ought to be voted down by every one, whether Democrat or Republican, who is in favor of a square deal. As we have earnestly wished, President Taft has taken the first step to baffle the Southern enemies of the Negro, who, under the cover of his Southern conciliatory policy have been at apping the Negro of every vestige of political citizenship. These noble and timely words we take it are meant not only for Maryland and other Southern Democrats, but as well for the lily-white pseudo Republicans. It is for the President to dispossess them also of the "Respectable Republican party" making prerogatives which they have arrogated to themselves. The lily-whites of Virginia, Louisiana and Texas are not one whit less hostile to the Negro and to the spirit of the Constitution than the Democrats of Maryland and Mississippi. A Republican machine founded on the corner-stone of Negro exclusion would be no improvement over the present rotten Republican party in the South. It would be as un-American and disastrous to the best interests of the Southland as the present despotic Democratic machine. We hope—and knowing President Taft as we do it is almost superfluous—that he will follow up his vigorous denimiation of the U.S. land Democrats with volume in behalf of the other Democratic and lily-white enemies of the Constitution. The entire Negro race has waited in patience and confidence for Mr. Taft to take the initiative, and the entire Negro race is glad. POSTMASTER MORGAN'S FAIRNESS. The promotion of Wiltam C Greene upon the recommendation of Postmaster R M Morgan from clerk in charge of the office of general superintendent of city delivery of the New York post office to that of Assistant Superintendent of City Delivers is cause for congratulation to both Postmaster Morgan and Mr. Greene For twenty years Mr. Greene has been in the postal service and has established a record of efficiency, we are told, that left no question of his merit and fitness. For our genial and splendid postmaster this has been only an other evidence of his character and impartiality. The promotion of a colored man to this responsible head position required no little courage even when the deserts are those of Mr. Greene in the face of so many capable white applicants. We wish to express in behalf of New York's Nog population its gratitude ENGLAND'S COLOR BAR. THE English Parliament has passed the draft constitution for South Africa, and the union of the four South African colonies Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal and Natal is now an accomplished fact. The amendments preserving rights of transplants to the natives were voted down in both houses but Cape Colony still preserves its native franchise and can be at will on a two thirds vote of the Parliament of South Africa. But the constitution restricts the right to the entire house of the Federation Parliament to persons of fair open descent but further provides that four of the right voters at large be appointed by the royal governor shall be selected with regard for ten knights and twelve sentiments of nature or persons. This in brief is the new English color bar, which has disfurried the natives in her Africa colours. It has kept Parliament in control and division for many days, such members as Dulke and Griffith leading the opposition and Premier Asquith opposed but less active. In saying that it was better to leave the matter to the deliberate judgment of self governing South Africa, he expressed his 'confident tone and almost expectation that the new nonlegislature would see its way without unreasonable delay to remove this color bar' been foolish and temporary for South Africa to have given indiscriminately the franchise to the native. In the hands of the omnipresent demagogue, their numbers would have swamped the whites, who after all are the representatives of British rule. But England, of all nations, has gone to the other extreme of passing race and class legislation. Let her beware that the present color bar to the first right of citizenship is equally foolish and temporary. The stalwart natives of South Africa are making tremendous strides in education and in all the arts of civilization. They are as free and independent in spirit as the zephyrs which play about their sunny shores. The storm of resentment against foreign pression and discrimination now rising will increase not decrease. The black sleeping giant is being awakened and his friends may well be satisfied that his "color bar" is but temporary. TO THE CITIZENS OF JACKSON. President Latt on his railroad tour through Mississippi will make but one stop, and that will be your city. The white citizens of Mississippi are preparing to make this a gift, session not only because of their patriotism but a well to impress him and to win him. There will be an opportunity for the Negro also to receive and welcome him. The report comes to us from credible sources that the Negro people of Jackson are not taking a part in the reception, neither are they going to have him address them while in Jackson. We believe the leading Negro citizens of Jackson are taking a course both hazardous and ours. ance against the President is nothing other than the objection which the entire race feels to the activities of Democrats and Lilly whites of the South, who have been especially aggressive under the cover of the President's conspiracy Southern policy. This be means justifies as yet such extreme measures. On the other hand we predict that not many months will precede these wrongs are righted and President Laft will stand out as of the wisest and best troops the Negro race has had. The Negro hating South then will be as much disillusioned and disgruntled as you are at present dissatisfied. At that time the short sightedness and injustice of your present course will be plain to you. This is the time and this is your opportunity to show your larger patronism When President Taft visits your city you, and only you, can impress him with your progress, your worthiness and your loyalty We trust that you will see the error of your ways. Let us urge you to begin immediate preparations for his reception We ask especially such progressive Jacksonians as Dr Redmond, W J Latham and Lawyer S A Readle to concern themselves with this all-important matter The interests of a million Negroes in Mississippi and ten million Negroes throughout the South and country demand that you do not let pass this grand opportunity to greet the President of this great nation of ours --- "THE NATION'S BEST NEGRO." Without a doubt the late James Pikeen, the Negro of Brevard, N.C., and who according to the editor of "The Hendersonville French Broad Hustler, was 'the best Negro in the United States," must have been a remarkable man. Wonderful past the point of understanding, according to the same authority, the funeral services of the popular Negro hero were conducted from the white Baptist church, and during the hour of service all business in Brevard was suspended "Honest," "industrious," "attended to his own business," "polite and respectful to his white friends," "obliging," "true to every trust," "kind hearted," "towed pennies you ago," and was one Negro who voted for his friends"—Democrats should probably be substituted here for "his friends"—and "knew his place," are only a few of the encomiums of praise which his ardent hitor admirable las as he says, "to be new" made grave. It is a significant fact, however, that I don't like the Breeders' Cup that the best Negro in the United States has a sell away. But we should have won the color of the immortal soft premier of the great Nebraska. Washington says it is a recent British title to River Plain. It is one of the best Nebraska races more white than black, with a well-trained Nebraska. --- TWO INSTITUTIONS NOT AFRAID OF THE COLOR LINE. It is to the relief of all Harvard University and its affiliates the college that they have not given way to the foothold race premise which exists in many sections and is invited to leave our Negro and perhaps more to be present and take part in the inauguration of their new Presidents. All honor to Harvard and Dartmouth. --- HENSON AT THE POLE. "We hoisted the Stars and Stripes twice at the North Pole. . . . We are now at the South Pole. . . .

Boston wants the National Negro Business League next year claiming that she could thereby complete her triumvirate brains, beans and business Rather odd combination at that! Wow, that was a terrible poll Mr Latt gave the Negro-disfranchising South in his letter condemning the unbushing attempt of Maryland Democrats to emulate the Negro. One good turn deserves anther July Whites, next! Mathew Henson has done the other thing considered impossible by overtaking the lie that he was not at the North Pole with Commander Pears. But that feat must seem comparatively trivial to the man who treading upon the pole looked down on the entire earth You talk about loving a man for the enemies he has made here is the chairman of the entertainment committee for the N M A in Boston setting out with the deliberate intention of getting the enmity of the "mudscow" He of course succeeds in that, and the rest needs no telling I found by barring the South Africa from political privileges has put him in the vexes of his position he is going to America the better in running into her Negro problem by going away from home while America brought her trouble home with it. If Northie Republican Congressmen are were during the coming session, they will make it clear that Newt vote their constant to the black man's status. Certainly interesting themselves, the black man's status. If the President Western defense of the constitution prevailed, Governor Higgs stopped the Langford Kette's House visit, the eye of battle. Someude wag in the office here declared that I vogued was going to win and the governor received a tip. That train of thought is of course entirely unworthy but if the wag had been more logical he would have said the Governor hadn't received a tip and it was the uncertainty that made him nervous. You talk about the riddle of the Sphinx and about anigmas, what are you going to say about the South and the Negro having no Southern friends when you read in the North Carolina papers about the town of Brevard suspending business during the hour a Negro's funeral service was held in the white Baptist Church ENGLAND'S RACE PROBLEM. The decisive argument was not unlike that which induced the farmers of our own constitution to concede to the far Southern States the free importation of slaves till 1835. The proposed union of the Southern States was apparently separated by apparently unreachable boundaries must not, it was argued, be imperiled by now retracting the free hand that had been given them to become a unit of the Lampre on their own terms. There had already been a great advance in the protection of slaves. To attempt to force immediate abolition of the color bar would provoke a doomsday reaction and wreck the newly accomplished union. In the present crisis the people of United South Carolina were in a position to confront their own social problems in the consciousness that their prosperity must depend on due provision for the progress and entertainment of their colored population. Mr. Swift pointed to the fact that the prosecution of the oppressor must much as it gives the oppressor colored voters in Cape Colony, together with those in Natal, a society so close to the affairs of South Africa, which is a most analogous to that of the Northern States. In certain of our Northern States the imperial Parliament not indeed without murmurs of indignation of its ancient right to confederate decisions one may see fresh evidence of the progress which British colonies have made from the status of dependence to that of partner nations. The Outlook REMEMBER HENSON Kulamazoo Telegraph Snjh Henson Must Share, Pearce's glory. Must Share Peary's Glory. We demand settlement of that North Pole controversy at the earliest possible moment. It is becoming too complicated for human endurance, for now comes Henson the colored man who went to Henson the colored man with three abeilles, with Peary with daims, with Pole just as quick as Peary did, ate just as much dog, going and coming, had just as many frozen toes as Peary, as with the help of four Dakimis, did all the cheering when the flag was rused. Fact is, that while Peary was the head of the expedition, this colored man, Henson is just as much a hero, as far as courage and endurance are concerned as is white man Peary, and if our colored friends don't get up something warm and comforting for Henson on his return they miss a great chance to appreciate some glory. With a shack man holding the heavy weight in his hand and another one discovering the North Pole, exclusive little secret isn't so much. Honor to Henson" He hung on longer than all save four of the Eskimos and "of the dogs and he has a right to participate in the honorable attention he received upon Peary. Of course if the wolf wasn't really discovered we reserve the right to help on this assignment a man in the Kalamazoo Evening Telegram. --- NEGRO SERVANT PREFERABLE. News-Lender Leader Education and Service Do Not Go Hand in Hand Most Southern people will speak with the Going indicated by a correspondent of the News-Lender from a North Carolina town, where he lives and his home that he preferred them to white servants that they are among the greatest pleasures and comforts of his life. Therefore, he opposes strongly the idea of separation of the races. It is hard for Southern white people to be separated from the blacks of any nation or kind. The average Southern man visiting at the North and accompanied by the most thoroughly trained element canuck massees and polite white waiters finds himself looking for the good natural blondness of a timid and hardened man.

Committees have been appointed and arrangements are being made to have a monster hack parade, climbed by an Auditorium. There can be no denying that this occasion, properly handled will do much toward encouraging interest in the order in this city. It may be made a permanent affair to be held every fall. The lodges in other parts of the country will do well to follow suit. The Mosque Coude. In making the claim to priority, exclusive rights et, the white Lythians and Elsks seem to be very inconsistent. The American Negroes knew nothing about the Christian religion until the African white people taught them. Now shall the white people teach them because the white people claimed the name. Shall the Negro be legislated out of the kingdom of heaven and be given a few months to find some other name? In our work judgment of the white man does nothing worth a complaint on the Negro. The Waycross (Ga.) News --- The Afro-American Republicans of New Jersey should have a State organization. They do a lot of voting, but they have precious little to show for it. In Monmouth County the Republican party could not hold power if it did not have the Afro-American so, with it, we ask any of the Republican bosses for any political position and in become well-less with ammunition. They should have a member of the borough of Red Bank and a constable and they will get them when they organize and vote for what they should have. When Afro-Americans have public receptions in this town why don't they keep the slowly in-mad and women sort out the old land in their start and cut out the olar land in their start and disturb the neighborhood and discredit the whole family?

Mr Head made this statement for no other purpose than that of appearing or organized labor among the whites and to organize labor in the support of him, but said this class of labor is not as simple and heartless as he takes them to be, and that his utterances will act as a booster against him and his ticket for it is known that Head has no use for a laboring man of any color and especially organized labor. — The Longevity Columbian This driver was consisted in the Police Court last Saturday morning for petition and given ninety days in jail. It seems that his employer had secured the contract to furnish the city of Richmond with grain and that all of the wagon loads were paid for by weight. The driver was caught with a load of cobble stones in the wagon, when the wagon or cart was welched.

To the Editor of the NEW YORK AGE I write in order to fair play to my protest against the unfairness of writers who tamorously or maliciously take to make life harder for a certain class of their fellow men. Those people who pass for white in Washington do so because they have a blood race, to do man to man, to do so cowardly a thing and to deceive men of their own blood rights, but for a Negro to do so is about the hunt. It is, to say the beast a mighty small piece of business. If the writer is important of what transpires he is do so, he is not important of what he is not important of it he certainly ought not of it he will be convinced by all far mined men both white and black. It is the most stupid generation of men that does not help the world to one throw away his own and other people, and to deceive rate his talents in trying to make a follow culture more ensemble. Why seek to make me miserable be he uses I am more white than I am black. Why try to make a Campaign not like a Negro or want to be a Negro.

BENJAMN F. ROMNSON, M.D. 100 Dartmouth Street Rochelle, Massachusetts 01000 The semi-centennial of President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation is not so very far distant. It will arrive in 1013, and Booker T Washington's proposal that it be fittingly celebrated should meet with ready response, not only by those of his race who were delivered from bondage by the memorable document, but by the whole people. Mr Washington, regarded by many as the wisest leader and counsellor of his race, draws an attractive picture of the great emancipator who was born off the shackles of slavery. He points at men of his race who have made a mark in the professions on the farms, in business and among the trades through the advantages of education along the way. He must need the coming independent the hard work and in pointing out the way to greater freedom and greater usefulness. Mr Washington is entitled to a vast share of the world's wealth. He is teaching the boys and girls of his race the advantages of industry and his consequence of which he is rearing a great body of young men and women who are a credit to the race and to the nation. It is fitting, in view of the remarkable progress of the half-century of freedom that will be rounded out four years hence, that observation such as that surpasses that of conservation. Not only will it afford them consummation, but won an opportunity to rejuvenate it will be the means of convincing others of the advantages of the educational system of racial and industrial uplift. The general observance of the 50th anniversary of the doublely dealt with the wide wide and historical aspects of the memorable event. But as regards the commemorative steps taken by the Negroes themselves, it will be well for them to furnish an king envy by calling their progress of their race, by calling them to what has been accomplished in times present and past, by some of its leaders. This list occurs offhand. It could easily be extended. Any unbiased survey of the subject leads to the conclusion that the Negro race has not only made general progress, but it has supplied its share of those persons whom the world by common consent has "great" representative qualities which embody in a single individual the nobler aspirations of the many. Courtesy on Jubilee Calls Kentucky Negro groe Ciffrens by Desert. The proposition emanating from Booker T. Washington that the Negroes of America should mark the fiftieth anniversary of their emancipation by holding an exhibition illustrative of their material development and of their future uplift is an excellent one and such as could not fail to be of great educational value to both whites and blacks. Nor is the interval which must elapse before the idea takes shape any too long for a proper consideration and working out of all the problems involved 1913 will come soon enough for those having the project in charge if success is to be assured. Just how much has been accomplished since President Lincoln issued his proclamation of independence is less generally realized than one could wish the growth of the nation would have been. It has taken forms so various and so elemental it has had to deal with creating and defining a status social, moral and political such as occurring among us and among of our daily experience, might be overestimated. For the ten or fifteen years immediately succeeding emancipation the Negroes were not much more than a political and a merchantable asset, the conditions of their life had been changed and there were no very practical and present benevolence though sometimes growing in the dark and frequently betrayed into false positions, the march of the race was upward and the progress such as the most based critic could not fail to acknowledge and applaud. And this progress is one in which the Southern States have become a more educated and a more educated and an educated and encouraged for them. The desire to become a more intelligent and more responsible citizen has been not fairly and squarely there have been disclosures and much strangeness of patience, grief and sometimes sorrow; but there Southern States have felt that self- When the Inkwell Memorial exposition will have a good time to see half of the exhibition, the Inkwell will be opened.

We all must agree that quite a number of important changes have taken place and that things do not look the same. Perhaps the most interesting piece of stage gossip is the temporary retirement from the stage of George W Walker, of the team of Williams and Walker, and the appearance of Bert A. Williams in a musical show minus his partner. A year ago it would have been a difficult matter to have made one believe that the comedians would not be seen together this fall. It was discovered during the latter part of last season that Mr. Walker was in ill health, due to overwork, and his physicians suggested that he take a rest for at least one season, which he is doing. The question then arose with the managers of Williams and Walker as to whether it would be good judgment to star Bert Williams alone, the plan finally agreed upon, and Shipp and Rogers were delegated to write a piece that would give the comedian an opportunity to prove his ability to carry a big production alone. After having witnessed a performance of "Mr. Lode of Koal" in St. Louis recently the writer has formed an opinion similar to that expressed by the white writers—that Bert Williams will make an enviable reputation as a single star. In the meantime we are sincerely hoping for the speedy recovery of George W. Walker. Many Theatrical Sentations of Late. Never before have Cole and Johnson given the public such a highly pleasing show as this season. Since Abbe Mitchell's retirement from the cast a few weeks ago the writer has not seen a performance of "The Red Moon," but reports from newspapers and other sources speak in laudatory terms of the production, and the show is drawing larger crowds than ever before. The appearance of Aida Overton Walker in any other show than Wilkins and Walker's has been another theme for much talk. It is yet hard for some to believe that Miss Walker is with "The Red Moon." As was predicted a few weeks ago in THE ACZ, she is still a great success in her two shows and strong drawing card. The team have been productive in the of the world, and colored show I endeavored to progress we show tirelessly. As in other avenues the law of supply and demand has a strong factor and have great success in the colored show. The field is not as narrow as it was a few years ago, thus the communities afforded the colored show are greater. Invent the new musical show, "His Barber, the Barber," opened several even- ties ago in Plainfield, N. J., with S H Hudley in the title role, the writer was one of the city and did not get an opportu- mity to witness the production leading from reports, the show is a good one. The cast surrounding S H Hudley is stronger than that of previous seasons. Since the comedian's debut as leading comedian of the Smart Set Com- pany he has always been at a disadvan- tage owing to the need of better support. No performer can for any length of time successfully carry a show alone, and the Smart Set management has evi- dently decided that it would be a good idea to surround their comedian with a good cast. It is said that there is much humor in the new piece. "Black Patti" Has a Speaking Part. After appearing in what was known as the "Black Patti Troubadour" for thirteen seasons, Mme. Sissettaer will be presented to the public in her fourth season in what will be known as the Black Patti Musical Comedy Company. For the first time in her career she will have lines, and throughout the new show will take part in the dialogue. Mme. Jones is enthusiastic over having been given a prominent speaking part, and during a delightful hour's talk with the writer in her private car at Union Station, St Louis, several days ago, she said. "Very Jim to be a sure enough actress this season. Heretofore I have never had lines, but in my new show I will have have an amount of talking to do, and I certainly feel elated over the part I have been given. Heretofore, I have never had a speaking part, as all my other shows did not call for such I sang my songs and then I was through. This year I am to do considerable talking and am anxious to begin my work." Jolly John Larkins has been engaged to do the principal comedy work for the Black Patti Musical Company this season. From the South comes the information that S. Tutt Whitney is making good as leading comedian of the Southern Smart Set Company, and that the show is doing a big business. The company was the first to open the season. Advices from the Georgia Troubadour, A Rabbit's Foot Company and Stetson's Uncle Tom's Cabin Company are encouraging, and the managers of the respective companies predict a big season. There has certainly been a decided change for the better since last spring, for the outlook did not appear very bright at that time. First came the death of Ernest Hogan, the leading comedian of the race. Just how late the "Unfinished Americans" awkward and subsequent death affected the colored performer is known to many for there are some who have not had steady employment since the disbandment of "The Oysterman" Company in February are rock. Then followed the announcement that Geor - W. Walker would be compelled to temporarily retire from the MUSIC AND THE STAGE Prominent Colored Comedians of the Season stage on account of ill health, and for a time it was thought that Bert A Williams would join the vaudeville ranks, which would have meant that nearly one hundred people would be looking for jobs. However, the success of "Mr Lode of Koal," and in first-class theatres, too, has dispelled fears of that organization closing. What was a very gloomy aspect has given way to a brighter condition of affairs, and at this writing indications point to the colored shows enjoying a prosperous season. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.

They are very good. The four maidens are good to look upon, wear many changes of pretty costumes and sing well. A speeches of the King and Bailey are singers and fun-makers far above the average. The act is full of life and was a big hit." --- That Abbie Mitchell, formerly prima donna of "The Red Moon" Company, is making good in vaudeville is borne out by the critics of Columbus, O. who heard her sing last week at the Colonial Theater. That Abbie Mitchell who appears as "Senganbah's sweetest singer" might go farther and say one of the world's sweetest singers, for the dusky little maid certainly surpasses any singer heard here in vaudeville for many months. The audience at once became responsive to her performance, and she was recalled again and yet again with a song more pleasing than its predecessor. Miss Mitchell and her able accompanist deserve a place as top-liners on any bill, however pretentions if the audience is to be the judge. All the other contemporary singers in a similar format, Miss Mitchell is at the American Theatre, Chicago, this week.
