VOL. XXIII. No. 1. DESTINY OF LIBERIA Future of the Republic Depends on Attitude of Uncle Sam U.S. MINISTER LYON Tells The Age the Liberians Are Hopeful That American Capita- tallists Assume Debt BISHOP I. B. SCOTT In Optimistic as to Country's Future—Many of the Natives Are Being Converted to Christian Faith. Dr Ernest Lyon, United States Minister to Liberia, and Bishop I. B. Scott, who has charge of the M. E. Church missionary work in Liberia, and the West Coast of Africa, are in the city the guests of Dr W. H Brooks, of St Mark's M E. Church. They reached New York City Sunday morning after a pleasant voyage. Both are optimistic as to the future of Liberia. Minister Lyon, who is enjoying a brief vacation, believes that the future of Liberia depends largely on the attitude of the United States Government in the near future, and is lavish in his praise of the commercial possibilities of the little Negro republic. Liberia has a number of well-equipped men who deserve credit for the work they have done in the interest of the republic in the past, according to the minister. In an interview with a representative of THE Age relative to the bringing about of a stronger commercial relationship between this country and Liberia, Minister Lyon said: "The destiny of Liberia depends to a great degree on future American activity. All Liberia is awaiting with interest the report of the Liberian Commission, which visited that country several times ago and investigated conditions there. The commission has been in session at Washington, and the Liberian Government does not intend to inaugurate any important policies until the commission makes its full report of its findings to the State Department. "Liberia's debt is not such a great one, being about a million and a quarter dollars, which sum is owed to British capitalists. What the people of the republic want to do is to effect a centralization of the debt so that American capitalists can take over the entire indebtedness. The Liberian officials are extremely hopeful that capitalists from this country will assume the indebtedness and exploit the natural wealth of their country. While the commission from the United States was in Liberia a few months ago, expressions were heard on every hand that Liberia would be willing to give every reasonable guarantee as mortgage for the proper settlement of the debt, the custom duties included Farmers Want Railroads. "The most conservative business men of Liberia claim that $3,000,000 would put the republic on its feet and open the way to making it a strong commercial factor among the other nations. Out of this amount it is figured that one million and a quarter dollars could be used to pay off the indebtedness, the remainder to be expended in the building of railways and projects that would help develop the highly fertile agricultural districts. "At this time Liberia has not a single railroad running through a country where the agricultural possibilities are great. Yet one can readily see to what extent some of the other countries regard the republic's productiveness when the infirmity is given that during the year hundreds of ships visit the coast and take away loads of staple products that do not grow under cultivation but wild and without the least attention. "An important commodity that could be exported from Liberia in large quantities is making railroads were built that would warrant farming on a large scale on coffee, cocoa, ginger, ivory and henna. While the land is very rich for cultural pursuits the farmer has a time to till the soil for there market for his goods.

The Liberians were especially proud of Commissioner Emmett J. Scott, who quite naturally won their admiration. At all times he was at his best, always ready to give information and discuss with intelligence whatever topic was at issue. I had the pleasure of accompanying the commission down the coast on the Granite Mining District and may treat with every honor due a representative of the United States Government. NEGRO SAILORS DID NOT PARALLEL Conspicuous by Their A sense in Thursday's Demonstration "There is one American's name that is a household word in Liberia, and that is Booker T. Washington's. His book, "Up from Slavery," is in almost every home, and all are aware of the prominent part he played in the sending of the Liberian Commission to Africa." According to Minister Lyon, the people of Liberia are paying considerable attention to industrial education, and within the past three months have sent a number of young men from that country to Tuskegee Institute. When they finish school they will return home and become a factor in the industrial and educational development of the republic. Many Converts in Africa. Bishop I. B. Scott, who enjoys the distinction of being the first Negro to be sent to Africa as Bishop of the M. E. Church, has been in that country for four years and has returned to the United States to attend the big jubilee to be held by the M. E. Church, which will be held to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the establishment of mission work in Africa At the jubilee an effort will be made to raise $300,000 for missionary work in Africa Bishop Scott will remain in America until January He is very much pleased with the work being done by the M E. Church in Africa, and brings the information that every mission was crowded when he left Liberia for America. "Opposition from time to time crops out by the natives opposed to Christianity, and quite often those who have taken up the Christian religion are dealt severely with," declared Bishop Scott. "Among the natives a woman's pride is her hair. When she becomes a Christian and the members of her tribe want her to renounce Christianity, her hair is shaved and Cayenne pepper is rubbed into her head and eyes. Men are heaten and Cayenne pepper is also rubbed into their eyes and face yet, but in one or two instances, have I heard of these people renouncing Christianity." Bishop Scott is full of patriotic devotion for the United States. He says he is aware of the inconvenience of race prejudice in his country, yet he believes that after all the United States is the Negro's best country and that his best white friend is the white American TROUSERS CAUSE TROUBLE. Blimmed for Influenza, Which Has Made Its Appearance in London. LONDON, Eng, October 2—Influenza has already made its appearance in London in the guise of a catarrhal affection of the nose and throat of an unusually tenacious and severe variety. A physician connected with one of the great London hospitals has suggested as one of the causes of the outbreak the habit of turning up the trousers. This fashion, he says, is responsible for many autumn coughs and colds contracted before the system has had time to become accustomed to the constant foot dampness which for every Londoner is a winter portion. The turned-up edges of the trousers become soaked through, and then act as wet bandages around the ankles. OPEN DISCRIMINATION Filipino Sailors in Line, Negroes Kept on Ship—Matter to be Reported to Secretary of War Stories of marked discrimination against the Negro sailors on account of their color have been circulated with amazing frequency since the arrival of the United States warships in the New York Harbor, and the fact that there were no Negro sailors in the big naval parade last Thursday appears to bear out the charges being made that the officers of Uncle Sam's ships are not treating the Negro sailors with the respect due them. In last Thursday's parade Negroes were made conspicuous by their absence, and the question was asked many times during the parade by the white and colored spectators—"Where are the Negro sailors?" Many remarked that it was strange that while there are several hundred Negro sailors with the American fleet, not one was seen in the parade. It was noticed, however, that a number of Filipino sailors who have enlisted in the United States Navy were in line with the other sailors from their respective battleships Put Negro Sailors to Work. Investigation shows that the Negro sailors were assigned to duty on the battleships on the day of the parade, and that such a course is pursued by the officers whenever there is a parade. It is seldom, if ever, the Negro sailors are permitted to participate. During the recent voyage of the American fleet around the world report of discrimination are heard from many quarters. In England a reception was tendered the American sailors by the English tars. The Negro sailors were not allowed to take part which was not noticed and adversely commented on by the English. The action of the naval officers in refusing to permit Negroes to take part in last Thursday's parade has aroused a storm of criticism from the Negro residents of Greater New York and expressions of condemnation are general. A movement is on foot to take the matter to the Secretary of War with a view to learning why Negro sailors are discriminated against. Women Organise Mother's Club PETERSON, Va., October 5.—A number of well-known women of this city met last Thursday upon invitation of Miss Carrie F. Brown, of the Normal School, and organized into a mother's club whose object is for the purpose of mutual help and the further one of holding health and domestic science in situtes among the mother classes of our vicinity. The officers: Mrs Jno M Gandy, president; Mrs M F Bridgeford, vice-president. Mrs Susie V Pollar, secretary, Mrs W. M. Spratley, chaplain, and Mrs Jno. Elam, treasurer. It is predicted that much good will result to the community through the work of this organization.

The college chapel, in which his exercises that were to usher in the forty-second year of the Howard University Medical School were held, was crowded to its very doors by students and distinguished men and women. No school would have had a more brilliant audience. Around and about that Washington were seated men who won their spurs in life's battle. They were learned professors, judges, fathers and men and women distinguished by nature. All perhaps, had heard that educators mean before, and they would like the more eager to hear him speak.

The great audience that filled the chapel seemed to hang on every word he uttered, and there were none, not even those who stood about the walls left their places while he was speaking. Address of Dr. Washington. Dr Washington spoke in part as follows: "There is plenty of work for you to perform in the interest of humanity and your race, but after you receive your diploma from this institution and go forth into the world to pursue your profession remember, my young friends, that the standard of the profession must be kept up that standard set by the high-tuned, high-minded men in the years past who have placed it on the plane where it now stands. (Continued on Page 8) 1 Who Has Charge of the Missionary Work in Liberia and West Coast of Africa for Methodist Episcopal Church. NEGROES ARE AROUSED Belief is that Postmaster General Is Responsible for Wholesale Removal of Negro Office-holders. Special to The New York Agn SUMTER, S. C., October 5—After twenty years of efficient service as postmaster of this city, Joshua E. Wilson has been removed from office either by Postmaster-General Hitchcock or President Taft. It is needless to state that his place has been filled by a "Lily White." The removal of Postmaster Wilson is a clear case of where the postmaster, although a Negro, was giving complete satisfaction to all, wherein three-fourths of the prominent business men of Sumter were heartily in favor of Rev Wilson's reappointment, despite his color, but the "Lily White" influence, which seems to be gaining ground in the Postmaster-General's department, won out, regardless of what the regular Republicans and white business men had to say. It is common gossip in this section that Postmaster-General Hitchcock is at the bottom of the propaganda which seems to be going the rounds to remove all Negroes from positions, whether they are acceptable to white people or not. The Negroes of this part of the country are not alone in the belief that Hitchcock is behind this wholesale dismissal of Negroes from office. Has Aroused Hornet's Nest. The news that Rev. Wilson has been removed as postmaster of Sumter has aroused a hornet's nest among the Negroes of South Carolina, and mutterings of discontent can be heard in many sections of the South by reason of the incident. Leading Negro Republicans of this State declare that from now on it is the case of a bitter fight with the "Lilv Whites." So far he has not stood out for one Negro appointment in the South. The Negro voters in this State have announced their intentions of sending the notice to Washington that they feel that a day of reckoning will come and that some time in the future they will have an opportunity to reward their friends and punish their enemies. Question Discussed by Rabbi Wise, Who Is Strongly Opposed to Intermarriage. In discussing the intermarriage of Jews and Christians at the Free Synagogue last Sunday, Rev. Stephen S. Wise opposed such unions, and stated that the feeling by other races keeps the Hebrew a separate and exclusive factor. He said, in part: "Intermarriage is not a problem—it's a fact. And it is not as serious as some of us think. In the Scandinavian countries in one out of every three or four marriages of Jews it is an intermarriage with a Christian. Among the Jews of Germany about one in five of the men marries a Christian, and about one in six of the women. In the United States the proportion is very much less. "We should keep in mind there is at least as much opposition among Christians as to these intermarriages as there is among Jews. I am amused at the idea that the Christians are making a systematic effort to storm our doors, enticing our daughters away and stealing our sons to be joined with them in marriage. "It has been said that if there were to be a great increase in these intermarriages it would eliminate the prejudice against the Jews. It would do more. It would eliminate the Jew. But my objection is based not merely on that account, but on the fear of the loss and hurt that would accrue to Christendom and to Christianity as a result. Christianity usually loses the Christian in such a union, and almost never gains the Jew. In marriage there should be a maximum of oneness, a minimum of dissimilarity and indifference. And then there is the danger to the children who are the fruit of intermarriages, the danger that comes from having no fixed spiritual home—neither here nor there. "I am opposed to the passing of Judaism. Christianity itself needs this great spiritual world force which we may continue to be. I am opposed to intermarriage, not because I am anti-Christian, but because I am pro-Jewish, and also pro-Christian. I respect Christianity I honor a Christian; and I also favor the conservation and maintenance of my own people. "It is not the exclusiveness of the Jews that keeps us separate, as is often charged, but the abusiveness of Christians" Prof. Prillerman Succeeds J. McHenry Jones CHARLESTON, W. V. Wa., October 5 — The Negroes in this vicinity continue to mourn the death of Prof J McHenry Jones, late president of the West Virginia Institute. However, they are highly pleased, and the fact that Byrd Prillerman has been elected president of the West Virginia Institute to fill the place made vacant by the death of Professor Jones Professor Prillerman is one of the finest characters who has ever resided in West Virginia In the issue of THE AGE of July 1 the above announcement appeared, which at the time was considered only an innocent wedding announcement, but which has provoked a unusual domestic situation and marital mixup since its publication. Things might have been otherwise had not Mra. Wealthy Bowser, who claims to be the only lawful wife of Rev. F. R. Bowser, purchased a copy of This Amor of July 1 in Pittsburg. Being desirous of learning what was going on throughout the United States, she proceeded to read the contents of the paper. When she came across the above-mentioned announcement she read it over several times before she could believe her eyes. Then she broke the news of her important discovery to her relatives, and the enacting of the drama, entitled "Whose Husband Is He?" was begun. Mrs. Bowser's account of the entanglement is as follows: Twenty years ago she was married to F. E. Bowser, who took up the ministry five years later. New Bowser's last marriage was in Brooklyn, where they lived, had a comfortable home and were well thought of by all. Mrs. Bowser Left Home to Visit Relatives. Last April, according to Mrs. Bowser, she went home to visit her relatives in Pittsburgh for a protracted visit, and thought that Dan Cupid was a member of the Bowser household the same as ever. She claims she was of that opinion until she read in THE ACE of her husband's marriage. She did not tarry long in Pittsburgh after reading the announcement, but came post haste to New York to investigate matters. She was unable to locate the object of her search, but has a letter which she asserts she received from him asking her to cease persecuting him. The information she secured in Brooklyn was that Rev. Bowser had passed himself off as a single man and in the role of an up-to-date Romeo wooed and won his bride, who believed him to be a man minus a previous marriage license. To make sure that it was impossible for the Rev Bowser to have secured a decree of divorce during her short absence from Bradford, Mrs. Bowser wrote to the county authorities asking if there was any record of the minister securing a legal separation. She has papers to show that an answer was sent in the negative. The charge is also made by Mrs. Bowser that Rev Bowser took with him the best furniture in the parsonage, which belonged to her, and that when she went to Bradford to get what was left everything was seized to satisfy claims for debts held against Rev Bowser. Inquiries in Brooklyn elicited the information that Rev Bowser and his spouse are living in Canada, and that Rev Bowser has a charge in that district, having been transferred by Bishop Derrick. Mrs Bowser claims that she has made several attempts to have the subject of the controversy brought to New York, but has been unsuccessful, as the authorities at Bradford are unable to aid her, as the alleged marriage was performed outside of Pennsylvania. The New York officials refuse to aid her as she is not a resident of this State. Very little interest has been given her letters to the high church officials, it is said. Among the letters in Mrs Bowser's possession which she averted were written by Rev Bowser to his late wife is one which contains the lines: When you make the heart grow fonder Presence makes the heart stronger. Lyceum Lecture Course Opened to Negroes. ATLANTA, Ga. October 5—For the first time in the history of their city the white citizens have opened their Lyceum Lecture Courses to the Negroes at the Auditorium Armory, Gilmer and Courtland streets.

Attorney Who Defended Man Who Precipitated Springfield, Ill. Riots Dies in New York. Attorney G. V. Boyall, well known in legal clips, and who so ably defended Joseph James, who precipitated the Springfield, Ill., riot a year ago, died last week. He had been in poor health for several months. He was born in Virginia, September 6, 1897, in August 21 last, and died in New York for medical treatment, but to no avail, expiring September 20. He raised his early education in the public schools of his native state, and afterward studied at Hampton, and the Virginia Normal and College Institute, Petersburg. He received his legal education at the Harvard Law School. 1905 He was admitted to practice in Massachusetts, Virginia, Indiana, and Iowa. For some years he associated with the Bobes-Merrill Company Law Book, publishers of Indianapolis, from which he resigned to accept the appointment of Assistant Dialectologist. He married Miss Louise Archer, an instructor in the public schools of Innapolis, and took up his permanent residence in Springfield, Ill., where he remained in the practice of his profession to the time of his enrolment. Mr. Royall acted as counsel in many celebrated cases. Specially distinguishing himself in the defense of Joseph James, in the Springfield News, the leading daily of his home city, on September 17, 1008, appeared the following account: "For two hours and a half last evening, Attorney Royall pleaded with the jury to save his client from the guilty His plea was on the strongest and best grounds within the walls of the Dixon County Court room. Attorney Royall laid stress on the fact that James was drunk on the fatal night He declared that "No guilt here right senses would be blocked away from the fatal blow was struck in the down to pleasant dreams." In conclusion, he pointed to the picture of Abraham Lincoln adorning the court room, and pleaded with the jurymen to give James the same chance for justice as he was a white boy." Dressed is survived by a widow, a sister, a father, and three brothers, two of whom, John M. and George W. prominent business men of New York City. REFUSED TO HEAR PRESIDENT. NEGROES of Mississippi Opposed to Pam-ing Resolutions Inviting Taft to Speak. JACKSON, MISS. October 5—At a meeting held recently in Jackson, Miss., the advisability of inviting President Taft to address the Negro citizens, members of the race here in this portion of Mississippi, was asked to pans resolutions to the President to speak, that Mr. Taft is not in good graces of the Negro people of this part of Mississippi.

AMONG THE CHURCHES A 127 West 89th St. • New York City Many Services at Mother Zion. Spacious Mother Zion was well filled at both the morning and evening services to listen to the series of sermons now being preached by the pastor, Rev Bolden. Interest in these sermons is growing, as is evidence of the services, and Rev Bolden is feeling the influence by preaching better and better each Sunday. "Matthew's Admiration for Jesus" and "Elijah, the Man of God," were the subjects. There was one accession to the church. The feature of the Sunday school was the very unique program as presented by Meadnes Walters and Harper My Minkle Tapley was the bright particular star with a splendidly rendered solo.

David's Church on last Sunday the pastor, Rev. E. G. Cliffon, preached both morning and evening to a lar gathering of members and friends of the church. At the morning service there was celebration the celebration of the celebrant. The young men and boys of the church and congregation were invited to assist in the efforts to enlargen the choir by giving the benefits of their voice to the department of the church service to the standard of perfection which it has hitherto held. Burkholder, X. M. G. A. Operas The association rooms were well filled last Sunday with interested branch members and others. Dr. Lawton spon- next Sunday, bobbie John 10, Gina Garcia, clintie Faulkner, head worker at Lincoln Settlement, will be the speaker. The opening reception will be given at the Branch, 112 Church Street, 28, Mrs. Richard Jackson is at the head of a large efficient committee, which has the pre-arations for this event in charge. The elocation class will begin very soon. The enrollment for this class is good and everything points to a successful year. Matthew Henson at Abymialan Holy Communion was observed at both services Sunday, with the pastor, Dr. Powell, officiating. A large number of communicants were present at both services. Ms. Henson, the explorer, was present in the morning and was introduced to the audience by the pastor. The regular meetings of the week are dispensed with, and in lieu thereof a revival service under the guidance of T. Z. S. A. conducted by the real missionary angelist, Dr. C. T. Walker, will be held. On Tuesday, October 12, there will be an Educational Mass Meeting at the church. On this occasion Dr. A. Credit pastor, C. C. Creek Street Philadelphia, and president of the Downingtown Industrial School, will be the chief speaker. Harlem A. M. E. Zion Busy. Three very interesting services held at Little Zion Chapel, just 117th Street, McMullen, the pastor, very timely discussed, to the education of the people, the subject of "Hard Heartedness," in connection with the evil of divorce. He brought out the fact that "God never intended the practice of separation and divorce through the heart of their hearts." Because such way many other evils have been prevalent even among professing Christians." The practical discourse was effective and received many endorsements from the audience. The Lord's Superior was administered by the service director Mullen in this service drew a striking picture of Pilate catering to the people in what he knew to be wrong. Vile and corrupt officers and political bosses in church and state always yield to wrong in order to live in the wrong themselves. Will win out in the end just as Jesus acquired his enemies, death and the years. Some of Dr. McMullen's personal friends in the choir of Mother Zion rendered the music for the afternoon service. Mrs Minnie Johnson presided at the organ while Mrs Virginia Setge directed the singing Rev. Mary J. Salls of York, Pa. prescribed at 8 P.M. a most practical sermon on "Giving God the Glory." Many of Mother Zion's stance supporters came out to empathize with the struggling Harlem among them was D. D. Anderson, just from a pleasant Summer in the White Mountains of Vermont. The concert at the parsonage. 55 East 123rd street, last Thursday evening, was well attended and netted a considerable sum of money. Miss Annie B Taylor had managed it to that end. Y. M. C. A. Enrolle Many Members. The Manhattan Branch of the Young Men's Club Association held an enthusiastic and highly inspiring meeting at its hall last Sunday afternoon. It was a members' meeting, when old and new members rose and spoke of their connection with the branch. The subject was Y. M. C. A. Anson for me." Some of the old members told of the time when there was no Branch. Others told of the day when there were only a dozen or so who gathered around Dr Walker, who had been turned into the dining places and been turned to eat. Some told of coming to the Y M C A during the late hours of the night through the cold and the snow and were given help to get a bed and food. And as long as life, like this, was the primes, and what it has done for me." The Y M. C. A. is now conducting a series of evangelical meetings at the Abbasianian Baptist Church for the conversion Rev. C. Certerian Bulton of the St. James Presbyterian Church, and J. C. Fernanders, of the U. A. M. E. Church, preached Monday and Tuesday nights. Dr. C. Walker, of Augusta, Jas. Hill preached during the armor of the week. The W. H. Hill is enrolled in a general rally at St. James Presbyterian Church on The membership of the Branch made a large gain during the month of September, being one and one-half times the membership in 1908, and walking the membership up to 321.

Address of the corporation and offices 7 and 8 Chatham Square, New York, N. Y. TAFT OR DICKINSON? In a recent address in Nashville, Tenn., Secretary of War, Mr. Dickinson, makes the bold statement to the effect that President Taft has not appointed and does not intend to appoint a Negro to office in the South. We say in the South, though his words might be interpreted to mean anywhere in the country. In his inangual address, President Taft, on this subject, made the following statement: "The Negroes are now Americans. Their ancestors came here years ago against their will, and this is their only pity and their only flag. They have shown themselves anxious to live for it and die for it. Encountering the race 'feeling against them, subjected at times to cruel injustice growing out of it, they may well have our profound sympathy and aid in the struggle they are making. We are charged with the sacred duty of making their path as smooth and easy as we can. Any recognition of their distinguished men, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement and appreciation of their progress, and this policy shall be pursued." Which one of these distinguished gentlemen is right? For our part we prefer to believe in President Taft's statement of the case rather than Secretary Dickinson's statement of the case. The most offensive part, however, of Secretary Dickinson's address consists in the fact that as a national officer he singles out a portion of the American people and holds them up to public gaze and says, in a word, here is a crowd of ten millions of people who are not to be recognized and dealt with as other American citizens. We wonder if Secretary Dickinson would have singled out the Jew, would have singled out the Catholics, would have singled out the Greeks, the Armenians or the Swedes in this way, and said to the public that because they belong to this or that race that they cannot be given public office? The drawing of such a line is not worthy of a national official. It is especially unworthy of Secretary Dickinson's craft is President of all the people. It matters what he may think himself, whether he nor any of his public associates a right to place the seal of condemnation upon racial their own success and low cost, and the need for a new model of the Civil War Hill. The good people of Burlington, the sons and daughters of the Abolitionists who made that city a hotbed of freedom during slavery days have been malignned. Accustomed as they were to having soldiers in their midst and reassured by their own printed fellow citizens who had known the 10th Carvalry long and infinitely and gave it a particularly high reputation, there was not the semblance of an excuse for the correspondents' scare. Nevertheless, the report gained wide credence and the South jumped with unhilly glee and satisfaction at this alleged race prejudice in Vermont. That Burlington after many months of acquaintance should thus honor the Negro soldiers is high compliment for their character and conduct. That the newspaper lie has been nailed is cause for general satisfaction to the Negro race. ```markdown ``` DEMOCRACY IN DANGER. Tennessee Democrats have divided on the Negro question just as have the Democrats of Maryland. In fact the Democratic party of the entire South has never been more divided than at the present time. Never has a complete split seemed more imminent. While the prohibition question is another cause for disagreement, the deep cause underlying all others which will eventually bring about a two-party government in the Southland is the political citizenship of the Negro. The "secede" convention of Democrats, or the late Senator Carmack's faction, has rebelled against the Governor Patterson and conservative faction. The "seceders" put themselves on record as favoring the elimination of the Negro. They declared that the purpose of the Patterson branch was to retain power through a general admittance of the Negro. The Maryland Democrats have split over the franchise amendment to be voted on this fall, the respectable Democrats and foreign-born lining up with the Republicans. Virginia has seemed hopelessly divided between the Tucker and Mann factions, and there is mutiny in the camp at Richmond. The radical Democratic machine seems to have a death grip on the party in Alabama, and the conservative Democrats are moving heaven and earth to release it. Once they succeed the Negro will get the chance he has in Tennessee. In Georgia "Joe" Brown sits in the Governor's palace and the "radical" Legislature turned down his recommendations on the score of the Negro. Congressman Livingstone has there long urged the franchise for the Negro to save the State from the hands of its radical Democratic and Populistic despoilers like Tom Watson The South is a seething cauldron of political unrest The Negro's citizenship is the issue. His potential force under the present wicked regime will remain a temptation to the "outs" to use against the "ins." The South has yet to learn, by continued disastrous experience, that the Negro question, like all other questions, will never be settled until it is settled right. In the division of Southern Democrats lies the hope of the Negro. When Democracy is in danger in the South, democracy may be hopeful --- ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA. President Roosevelt, giving the first of his famous Seribner articles in the current issue, deals in interesting and characteristic vigor with the questions which have been forced upon his attention. These articles, while necessarily from the point of view of a white man, are as fair and hopeful and candid as everything else their famous author has done. We are not surprised but we are glad that Ex-President Roosevelt has not been discouraged as to the African's outlook by his intimate and extensive acquaintance with them. Other men less deep and far sighted than our strenuous executive use the author Adams, of Massachusetts, have immediately upon their arrival in Africa formed conclusions as to the black man's permanent infidelity. Afterwards they have sought to correlate it he courageing is this note struck by the Josephoveelt "One of the Governmental affairs was being run by an educated educated man from Jamaica, and he showed much courtesy by a gentleman from our country, who was practicing as a doctor. No one fail to be impressed with the immeasurable advance these men represented as compared with the native Negro, and impired, to an American who must be more thick much of the race prohibiting it, is pleased to be made aware of the proud fasten the progress of the American Negro has made by commencing work with the American who dwells in the city and suppresses her but lightly coaxes her." On Tuesday afternoon the news chiefs of New York gave their parade of the Hudson-Pub celebration. Every organization and nearly every race of New York was represented there. The Negro race also had a delegation of New York to that delegation we are frank to say was the smallest and the poorest delegation in line. We shall not attempt to account for this discreditable showing, but we can only regret with all other men sincerely interested in the race's advancement in this community that it was so. Here was a great opportunity for New York Negroes to impress their progress upon the world. This was their chance to display their patriotism for their country, their gratitude for the blessings which the grand old Empire State has conferred upon them, their pride and contentment of race. But scarcely a corporal's guard of Negroes was in evidence. The Negro lookers-on could take no pride in the display. Rather must they have been ashamed in their consciousness of their comparative showing. The secret of the whole thing is not a lack of patriotism, gratitude or race pride, but racial negligence. The Negroes having this splendid opportunity neglected to do their duty. The executive committee members themselves did not all march. They neglected to secure a large number of marchers, they-neglected to provide for the little details which are the difference between success and failure. If the Negro in New York does not cease this negligence he is as hopelessly lost in the struggle in New York as he was in Tuesday's parade. There is a lesson in this matter for every wide-awake Negro here. The future is still before him, but he must profit by his past failures. WILL AMERICA HELP! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, known the world over as the author of the Sherlock Holmes novels, has taken up the fight for the freedom of the Congo Writing to the London Times last month, he has attracted again the attention of the civilized world to the wholesale and inhuman barbarities by the Government of King Leopold of Belgium. Calling this the greatest crime in human annals, he bluntly asks America will she live up to the responsibility which she assumed by first officially recognizing King Leopold's enterprise in 1884 A perusal of all these sources of information will show that there is not a protégé obscuring the human ingenuity could invent which has not been used against these harmless and helpless people. This would, to my mind, warrant our second, more important invention, the naturalized ability to sum up the general ground of humanity. But there is in this instance a very special reason why America and England should die to death. They are in a sense their wards. America was the first to give official recognition to King Leopold's independence of having actually put him into that position, which he has since so deftly abused. She has been the inimitable enemy of England. Surely some reparation is due On the other hand, England has, with the other European powers, signed the Treaty of Paris, which makes itself responsible for the condition of the native races. The other powers have so far shown no desire to change the science of England is uneasy and she is slowly nursing herself to act. Will America be behind? At this moment two American Virginian, Morrison, are about to be tried at Roma for telling the truth about the scoundrels. Morrison in the dock makes a finer Statue of Liberty than Barthold's in New York Harbor. This, indeed, is a mammoth task which the great novelist asks America to assume. But America assumed the responsibility for the Congo years ago, and she cannot now avoid the consequences of that responsibility. On the general ground of humanity, where her obligation was less and the necessity no greater, America has struck for the sake of humanity. In Cuba, in Russia, and lastly, in Liberia, America has shown her high and humane principles. In the Congo there is no call to take over the reins of government, nor there the livelihood of a bloody war being entailed by a firm note in behalf of justice and freedom for the Congoese from our State Department to the Belgian Government England, Sir Arthur says, unselfishly will take up the burden which she assumed jointly with America We, too, ask. Will America be behind? NEGRO WHIPPED TO DEATH. Dark and discouraging is that picture of "white supremacy" which press reports paint in their account of the alleged whipping to death of a disease ridden Negro by four young white men near Dyson's, S. C. Hard and cruel as is the lot of many Southern Negroes, the black man can actually look down with pity on the degradation of many of the white men about him. For all the world the account reads much like the fugitive slave capture tales. Gus Gulcerase, the murdered Negro, had been under contract to Henry Will jameson, a white man, who had served two years in the penitentiary, but ran away about three months ago. Sheriff in the surrounding country were notified, and the sack Negro was finally ripped by the Abbeville sheriff. The employer and criminal, or perhaps better the master, was notified as he directed to pass through town, and accordingly took the Negro back to his farm, ensuring that if he would go This is white supremacy with a vengeance. There is a great call in enlightened America for missionaries. There is a great field for them in the Southland. --- A LEADER AMONG VIRGINIANS. A LEADER. AMONG VIBRONIANS. In the death of J. McHenry Jones, predeceased of the West Virginia Colored Institute, at Charleston, W. Va., the Negro race loses one of its most true and useful leaders. Called by the Wheeling News the Booker T. Washington of West Virginia, no other Negro has had the constructive influence or the popularity among both black and white men in his State. For nearly a score of years he has gone about doing good, preaching the gospel of peace and service. He numbered among his many influential friends Governor Glasscock, who spoke at his funeral, and Judge H. C. McWhorter, formerly of the Supreme Court of Appeals, who paid him glowing tribute as an orator and a citizen, of whom the entire State was "brond." As head of the Lincoln Colored School of Wheeling, and of the State Colored Institute, he was successful building up splendid if not model institutions, and sending forth hundreds of industrious and sensible men and women. As an orator he was intensely earnest and eloquent. Though gifted as a speaker, he was never a demagogue, never went off on a tangent, always pleaded for a practical solution of the situation which confronts the race. As a citizen he practiced always and everywhere what he preached, purity in the home and in public and property getting. It is unfortunate for the race that Dr Jones, at the early age of fifty, should have been gathered home to his rest. But put off in the midst of an ever-wildening and successful career, he won a lasting place, not only in the life and heart of his race, but among the people of his State, irrespective of color. EDITORIAL: AFTERTHOUGHTS The long-looked for opportunity of the Negro to again break into Southern politics seems to be approaching as the Democrats there begin to split. Our dear old contemporary, the Charleston News and Courier, is doing its prettiest to sit on the lid, but that confounded colored gentleman in the wood box keep bobbing up. Sherlock Holmes makes a ringing appeal to America to help England free the Congo from the wholesale atrocities practiced by the Belgians. Mr. Holmes, if you will witness the toils of lawlessness and race oppression in which our Southern States are enmiled, you will have the detective story of your life in finding who is going to help America Roosevelt was happily surprised to find an American Negro doctor in the heart of British Africa "Where rolls the Oregon; Take the wings of the morning and fly to the uttermost parts of the wilderness," there you will find two or three American Negroes and where two or three are gathered to gather there will you also find a black doctor Dr Washington at the opening of the Howard Medical School said there should be four thousand more Negro doctors to cure the ills of the Negro Race. With the Doctor always and successfully impressing it upon the brether that he should also have fewer ills, the extremes of supply and demand should not long be unequal The Cleveland papers carried a story last week to the effect that Oscar Hammerstein would back Cole and Johnson in the great and only American opera based on "Uncle Tom's Cabin." When it comes to a long, sad story, combined with an emotional, musical temperament, yes the Negro race alone fits. But when it comes to tragedy with the necessary death at the end, the Negro will defer to the Indian, if you please. The question has been most frequently asked since the Republican convention "Who is Bannard?" And when the information comes pointing in people how so strong and successful a man should not have been better known. But the answer is, Mr. Bannard has been attending to his own business. When the question is asked "Who is a favorite?" and the information comes pouring in that he is the far-famed political judge" who is credited with courting popularity by bench practices being divorced by his wife, and re-nouncing the Catholic religion, the wonder is that he has become so well known. Be true to right let faith still Be true to right let faith still Unwied, unbribed, through good or ill, Make reliquity your aim. Be true to truth: the proudest name of a man who is faithful Is soiled and inroished past reclaim Where falsehood enters in. Be true to reason: let her light Be ever glorified. And stands through life her beson bright A fixed, enduring guide. Be true to self-respect: the world Is soiled and inroished And slanderer poisoned shakes he hurled Where virtue moves along. These are virtues, these the ways That bring their own reward; And all the ways Keep constant watch and guard, He who from thee his guidance takes The march of man sublime; And good deed, each wrong with good deed, the ingrance or the good. Throughout the book. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Many a person walks along in the streets with a desire to find a fortune. He looks in many directions to find a house in many places, but contains thousands of dollars. When night falls he returns to his humble cabin with a hungry stomach and after awhile he falls to sleep and he dreams that he is in pain. He goes to the next morning to find himself the same poor devil. (What is the moral?)—The Mobile Weekly Press. The delegation to the National Baptist convention leaving out of Mukungoover the M. K. and K., met with a cold shoulder by that company. They had to go to Columbus, Ohio. Instead of putting the Pullman behind where all other pulmans go, they put it up next to the train to Columbus. That was right and when we start to the convention next year we all should remember the M. K. and T. pulmans. We will not take all insult without resenting it.—The Oklahoma Safeguard.

The Chicago Defender immeasures what it calls "the fact" that Detroit's colored musicians have retrained since Theodore Finney died and have not held their jobs. For the Inferior Informer's benefit, The Informer states that at no time during the life of Mr. Finney did the musical organizations of this city hold so many musicians, so many singers, so many singers, as is now the case. During Mr. Finney's life his was the only colored organization of its kind in the city, there are six sixteen cello players. Mr. Finney's excellent reputation did much to stimulate musical education and also to cause colored musicians to be generally employe- D Detroit Informer _____. "In the North a Negro in business catering largely to his own people may make a living, but he cannot get rich. The Negro in business may not have certain civil and social antigues, but they are getting rich. They come North and make us look like turkey. They are doing like two cents." The above philosophy comes from an experienced business man of Cleveland and a long-time recruiting and banding man for years to make things so in a business way. He is a man who would not make such an assertion without due deliberation as not a personal statement. He is also very radical though they may seem. The Cleveland Gazette The Negro has been prominently present in nearly all the great achievements of Americans. The Negro Crispus Attucks shot the first drop of blood in the Resolution 1922 at New York City. The Negro philippehore at the British general Packham from his horse at an improbable distance and saved the day for General Jackson and the Negro troops at that battle called forth the highest enquiries from the American general in command. In the war that was the most important battle of the war another Negro captured a shop of any another Negro breaking from the Confederate lines carried information to the Union forces that sat the Rise River from annihilation. The St Louis NEGRO SCHOOLS NO BERDEN Division of School Money on Racial Literacy Sense Hopbacon It has often been assumed that the Negro schools in the South were a special burden on the white taxpayers in one or two Northern states. It has been seriously proposed that the school funds should be divided between the race and the other, and the contributions to it are much to the tools of the South that no such scheme has been designed in even disobedient to the weight of public opinion on for the theory of underlying a division of school funds on metal lines is not consistent with the daries and moral obligations of the state. I want all of it, children Charles I. Conn. to what��perntent of school at Widen. I am for them accept it, the theory is a strate or advising its application in to paper on "Public taxation and newschele" which is being circulated to the committee of 12 for the advance ment of the interests of the negro race. I show headquarters are at Cheese Pa Mr Conn. morely attempts to answer the question "Is the Negro school in the South a burden on the white tax pover and if so to what extent?" The demonstration that Mr. Coon offers in the negative is not astonishing. He forces him to confine his conclusions to the three states of Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. A presentation of the study over a wider field would be admirable. But the study that can be acquired. But Mr. Coon's investigation indicates strongly that it the Negro school-houses are supposed to be the white taxpayers. The sensitivity is that such taxpayers are not supposed to be without hesitation Mr. Ooone's statement that the same number of schools are the same as much if the same children who attend them were all white, for it is well known that white teachers or salaries than white teachers, and that the Negro school-houses are usually much cheaper in construction and cost maintenance than school-houses for whites. The 11 states that formed the Confederny spend $32,068,851 a year, according to the latest figures on public schools for both races. The Negro population is about 40 per cent of the whole, according to the last census. The amount spent for teachers, however, in the schools of the two races is very disproportionate, for the white teachers receive over 62 per cent of the total sum spent on public education. If it can be determined what amount is contributed in taxes for the schools by Negroes, the question whether they really pay for their own schools or not may be settled with pretty close approximation to the truth. Mr. Coon attempts to reach definite conclusions in the cases of Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, and, it appears, with abundant success. As for Virginia, he shows that while $507,500 is do not actually from the school fund to the Negro schools, according to the final division on race lines, those schools actually receive but $489,222 or $18,077 less than is their by right. And similar conclusions are reached in the cases of the other two states. North Carolina appropriates for Negro schools too little by some $28,000 a year, and Georgia by about $141,000. The Negro race produces wealth by its labor, and it pays taxes to the state. These facts must be remembered in any discussion of school money on race lines, in proportion to the respective sums contributed by whites and blacks, would be disastrous to the future of the county, and would prevent the negro is hardly getting a square deal. If the test be what the state draws from him through the taxing power and what justly belongs to him of the negro, the negro is worthless—The Springfield Republicans. Negro Progress in Virginia. The annual address of the President, Archdeacon Russell, showed that the Negroes of the county own 51,000 acres of land, and that 1,005 Negroes in the county hold their land in free simple and 300 others were buying land in various stages of payment, and that over 50 per cent of their land was owned by their own homes, a record that probably cannot be equalled among any race anywhere in the United States. Crime was 19 prosecutions for decrease, there being 19 prosecutions for last year. The address also dealt with the progress made in home-making, morals, improvement of farms, and material improvements, and accounted for considerable progress was evident — Living Church, Milwaukee, Wia.

The purpose of this article is to show the condition that confront us are formidable nature, that they cannot be arrested or ignored out of existence, but must be understood in a courageous and common sense way. After a thorough and careful comparison of his progress with his own experience, he concludes to which one can arrive is that the average Negro of Boston, instead of being inspired by his opportunity to enter the city, he blindly lets them pass, and laborers under the delusion that the early confesses the precious body immediately confesses the precious body immediately upon all rebelliousness of merits and his chief duty is to see that he is not disdainful, but regardless of his work or worth. The social privilege is so intoxicating that to him they mean a license. Old Tarian's idea of equal rights has been to be the same as the social equality. Coupled with the idea is the trite doctrine of finishing the color time the vocation of the counsulfites of destruction, who have done more to impede the Negro's progress. It remains than the vicious and idle elements combined. Every progressive man is in the interest of the race is allowed as if one may reuse the fitness of character and usefulness to the community to them to the N in algeration is unknown quantity. The results of their permissions doctrine is a stifled and dwarfed method which is effectively decomposing the Negros importance of a citizen, politically, economically and socially. A sense of bonchelated. Negroes have allowed themselves to be lured off on a wild goose close after the phantom of sound humidity to the end of neglect of the male's double element of race proless. Negros here one enjoyed the distinction of being heart and hooked whenever they protested against any wrongs of the race but going to the numerous most extreme conditions. The same meeting and other possible means of the world of the race rights are not held in between them and not in the constant and red all. In spite of its deplorable state of affections the race's "hopes for the future Honor us most the dark side of our intellectual and moral life, and not the light side of our life. No one can condemn that the real world is so complex and difficult as any other, and by no reason can we be complacent with it. We must be prepared to deal with the challenges of the real world in the form of trials and sacrines. When we reflect over the real world, we are in danger. We need to be in Renaissance and then in modern times. We need to be intelligent. We need to be protective with our ideas such as a M. M. A.

Boston Mass Oct 5 1000 J W WHITR. Prof. J. McHenry Jones, principal of the West Virginia Colored institute, was easily the foremost man among Negroes in West Virginia. It would not be too much to call him the Booker Washington of West Virginia. His abilities and his conduct were such that hundreds of white men were proud to claim him as a friend and grief over his departure as as sincere and widespread among the whites as it is among those who own race. Prof. Jones answered that the future of the colored race over the noe doctrine of usefulness. He had not one for fash and foolishness and vain striving for social equality when political equality was already gained and be spread the gospel of work. He believed that within the power of any Negro to make himself respected and admired by whites and his own life proved that his belief was correct. Prof. Jones made a great success of the Lincoln colored school in this city and he built up the State Colored institute to a high degree of prosperity. He was not only an efficient instructor and executive manager, but he was also a public speaker of rare talent and of eminence, proficiency in literature. Though it has been overlooked years since he lived in Wheeling, this city has always considered him as one of the bright citizens, and realizes that, in his death it in common, with the state has suffered a great loss.—The Wheeling News. An excellent citizen was Prof. J. McHenry Jones, whose death occurred at Charleston Wednesday night, and one whom the state can ill-afford to lose. Prof. Jones proved every day of his life that it is possible for a colored man to obtain a position of dignity and command the respect of all with whom he comes in contact, white or black. He put no foolish notions into the heads of his colored brethren but taught them that the only way in which any man or woman, white or black, can succeed in this world is to do faithfully and well whatever is assigned to them to do. Like Booker T. Washington, of whom he was a great admirer, Prof. Jones was in industrial education and saw no reason why efficient farm hands and mechanics should be spoiled to make poor lawyers or indifferent preachers. Prof. Jones's influence in West Virginia was distinctly a force for good and his death creates a vacancy that will be difficult to fill—The Wheeling Intelligence. J McHenry Jones, president of the West Virginia Colored Institute, died at the Institute at 11:22 o'clock last night after three weeks' illness from Bright disease. President Jones was a man of national reputation as one of the foremost educators of his race and, since coming to the institute in 1889 the college has prospered and developed wonderfully under the guidance of President Jones. He found the school with 90 students and three buildings. He made it of so much value that it now has 250 students in attendance, has 7 large buildings and 20 acres has been added for agricultural purposes. The deceased educator was ex-Grand Master of the Grind United Order of Odd Fellows, a colored fraternity and was also in high standing in the Knights of Ephraim. He was honored a few years ago being sent to England as imprisoner to his son of the Odd Fellows and prior to his death to Seattle as delegate to the Episcopal town on condition there. When he first became all it was not thought his sickness would prove dangerous but his condition grew worse and Doctors Moores, Tompkins, Whisper and R. L. Jones were called but could give him no hope. President James was born at Poughkeepsie, Ohio, and after graduating from the high school in that city, took the degree of A. M at Wilberforce, Ohio, and L.D. at Rusk University in Mississippi. Later he was made principal of the colored schools in Wheeling, and then came to Institute. The deceased colored educator was 50 years of age, and leaves a widow and four brothers (one of the brothers is Alex Jones, a barber in this city with another Charles Jones, a teacher of sciences at Institute, another lives in the West, and one at Redsdill Ohio where he is postmaster. Armenements for the funeral will be made today. The remains will probably be taken to Pomegranate for interment. The Charleston Jazette Tribune of Virginia Jnds Judge H. C.

WALTON It was pleasing to observe that William Morris saw fit to bill Johnson and Dean in good-sized type at the American Theatre last week; for in New York City of late we have been accustomed to seeing colored acts mentioned on the program in the same breath with the viltagraph. So, when we were given an agreeable surprise party by learning that there was one colored act that had managed to escape from the agate type division we felt highly encouraged and complimented the team for its evident business ability. A review of the Johnson and Dean act cannot be given in this issue of Tire Age, as the team was not working the evening the writer visited the American Theatre, owing to the indisposition of one of its members. Their non-appearance on the evening in question was somewhat disappointing, as the writer was anxious to learn just what effect the singing of songs in other than the English tongue by colored performers had on an American audience, particularly when a large portion of it has been educated to the narrow-minded way of thinking that colored performers should only sing cono songs. --- In glancing over one critic's criticism of the act we came across the following sentence: "Miss Dean has always been a good-looking mulatto, with a figure unusual for colored women." Passing hastily over the first thought that Miss Dean is a good-looking mulatto, and granting such is true, we are unable to reconcile ourselves with the idea bearing on symmetry of form. It may have been written as a compliment to Miss Dean, but it depicted a surprising lack of knowledge on the part of the critic on the question of the figures possessed by our colored women. We do not regard seriously the inference that the majority of colored women are un-Venus-like, and are so built on the lines of Jack Johnson as to bring to one's mind the rear end of Hudson-Fulton, not as seen in the pa-ter piece for the critic on The Variety who wrote the article has been disposed to show a spirit of broad-mindedness and fairness to the colored performer. His remarks pertaining to form were thusly made because he did not know better. For his benefit we will inform him that he is very much mistaken about the figures of colored women generally. These are with remarkable hairstyle. There are hundreds who would find little trouble answering the want advertisements seen daily in the papers asking for models and demanding measurements that read 35, 38, 24, 42; and there are hundreds who can wear the new tunic grown and the jersey designed in Paris, which is worth, Drecoll and Refferent, with such stylish grace and ease that they would create a sensation at the Rue de la Paix, Paris, let alone Fifth avenue, New York. The critic should see the female contingent in the "Mr. Lode of Koal." "The Red Moon" and "His Honor, the Barber," companies. These productions would prove quite an education on the subject at issue. Sunday Concerts at Palace Hall. Last Sunday evening Messrs. Archer and Carl introduced an innovation at Palace Hall, 61st street and Seventh avenue, that deserves the support of all who favor Sunday entertainments. On Sunday evenings concerts are held in many of the theatres of Greater New York, but it was up to these two enterprise promoters to provide the colored theatre-goers with such form of entertainment. On Sundays theatres are not patronized to any extent by members of the race. Whether this is due to religious scruples or that they have been waiting for some one to inaugurate Sunday concerts is not available to state and long-term Archer and Carl give a clear defined show those who attend entertainments on Sunday should have no hesitation in going to Palace Hall. New York has been very backward in establishing colored theatres. Probably this move will ultimately result in the opening of a creditable colored playhouse by Archer and Carl or others. New York is far behind other cities in this respect. In Chicago there are four colored theatres on State street, and all are doing a good business. Manhattan should have at least one theatre managed by colored. The bill presented Sunday evening seemed to please the audience, which was a good one, considering that it marked the first attempt of the promoters to give the public Sunday concerts. All the acts went well and were generously applauded. On the program were Muriel Ringol, comedienne, Ray and Williams, musical Husars. C Arthur Rhone, eccentric comedian on Black Curl magic comique; the "Live Lucior Sticks," with Nettie Glenn, and Cleronto and Miner. "Black Dragons." Muriel Ringold lived up to her reputation as a comedienne full of dish and ginger, and Ray and Williams have a neat musical set. C Arthur Rhone provided good entertainment by singing several songs in a manner that prompts us to state that he has an excellent chance to become a first-class singing comedian. Clermonto and Miner closed the bill in lively fashion. Black Carl made his appearance as a magician after an absence from the stage of several years. Why such a clever magician should quit the stage we are unable to understand. He kept his audience in a state of wonderment over his exhibitions of sleight-of-hand, and was easily one of the hits of the bill, even if his youthful assistant was a little premature in one of his trunk tricks. The "Five Licorice Sticks" with Natalie Glenn, is a new set which was evidently given its first try-out during the evening. While the set was recorded a warm reception, we filled Mike Glenn's room with a blush of his smile. The set was applies to the quartet. Miss Glenn is at her beat in a neat singing and dancing turn, while the quartet shows up stpneatge in rough work. There is very little genuine comedy in the act, and entirely too much horse-play. The members of the skit are good singers and dancers, but; like many colored acts of to-day, it lacks character. Singing and dancing, even if good, do not make an act a hit nowadays, unless the numbers are properly together. Miss Glamour may "Down Among the Sugar Cane" could be heard better advantage if the quartet would reserve the dancing specialty for the closing as a lively finish, instead of using it before the number above mentioned.

Oct. 5.—Mr. Lode of Koal was opened here Sunday to crowded houses. People were turned away. All the critics highly praised Bert. A Williams in his own place. But Mr. Lode, few of the two of the production in part, "Bert Williams makes a continual laugh in Mr. Lode of Koal. His feet and his hands—his gestures and dance—these—the original heart of the dark comedian. There is no other funny man on the stage who can do with his hands and feet what Williams can do with his. They are racial, those hands and feet.

"In the new piece, which is by a heavy of negro song writers and librettists himself—the comedian impersonates as in times past, a forlorn darky who is universally picked upon, but, in turn, is picked upon with arrows of a fortune truly outrageous, he receives no fatal wound. The second of his trials is an oriental court, and he is not punished. He penetrates the plot, for the people of that race in the audience laughed wildly all the evening and found point in their eyes.

Moores and Alex Royster, and we proudly mention those who have been with us. boys who have been in the sustainable, and who have worked in the best of the day, the old boys who have come up from wagon shows to the top round of the profession, both as actors and auditors. More of the young men have been in the first place, and Rogers (expose and Alex, we know, you are not as old as Jesse). Speaking of Jesse, did you ever talk to him? Have you ever stopped and considered what he should do? Can you imagine what if he means to have one of our race staging and producing a Shubert production? Too much cannot be said of Jesse A. Shipp and his partner, Alex Rogers. But we are diverting. It is the event of the special field day to exclave we wish to write. Having a machine we could not attend, but from reports it was a grand affair. Hunning races, jumping baseball and many athletes, reports made up the program to members of the company only. Ed Tolliver, a Hooverley boy, was the black horse in the race, and was successful in many of the events. Trainer Will Elkins has been to the new test. He has a long掌book. But he finishing took was after evening events. Being invited guests, and we state right here, it isn't everybody that� measures an invitation to these affairs, but being in Kansas City that� was not only the little world.

Then the wind-up came after an evening of dancing, eating and vaudeville. The vaudeville alone was a feature of the Glee Club and to harmonise and some of the members of the Glee Club the welkin ring. Through it all you could see the smiling faces of the girls, the Williams, and the old boys—Jesse, Alex, Tom and Chas.

"I have referred to the fact that there are 3,500 Negro doctors at the present time. Let me also call your attention to the fact (that this is only about half the number that there should be." In the one of the white race there is one denial a every six hundred people. Geo. B. N. Even if the number of the Negro doctors is increased to 3,500 we will only have one Negro doctor to every 7,000 Negroes in America. I am not indicating or advocating that the color line should be drawn into the practice of medicine—that is, I do not mean to say that the Negro doctor alone should practice among Negro people, but I do think any fair and just person will agree with me that we ought to have a fair proportion of Negro patients among Negro patients. We need in a 4,000 additional Negro doctors. It devolves upon Howard University and two or three other medical schools for our race to largely prepare these doctors. Has Great Responsibility. "In that respect, then, Howard University has a serious responsibility resting upon it, as well as a great opportunity. Wherever I have gone in my travels I have met graduates of the medical department of Howard University, and with very few exceptions I have found them succeeding, having the confidence and good will of the colored people. Further, I have found them, in most cases, on easy and on good terms with their professional brethren of the white race. The doctor, as a rule, is a gentleman, and it is not a difficult matter for two gentlemen, no matter how they differ in color, to get on well with each other. "The great and successful doctor in the future is not going to be the one who devotes himself to curing aches and pains, but the one who will devote himself to keeping the human family well. The work of the doctor in the future is going to be that of preservation; preserving the body rather than repairing the body. This idea involves a more unselfish disposition to be cultivated on the part of the doctor. Can't Draw Color Line "There are some directions in which no color line can be drawn. Disease draws no color line; fifth draws no color line. If a Negro, by reason of his ignorance of the laws of health, carries about in his body the germs of constipation, of smallpox or of the disease known as the hook-worm, these germs will spread from his body to that of the white people by whose side he lives. Negro women prepare and serve the food of the white people. "Negro women launder the clothes of the white people; Negro women nurse the babies of the white people. In a word, Negroes touch the white man at almost every vital point in his life. If the Negro is ignorant as to the laws of health, the disease to the white man's family through unclean hands, or unwashed body, or the most deadly germs can be taken to the house of the white man by reason of the fifth of the cabin in which the white man's clothes are laundered. Mission of Negro Doctor. "It is the mission, in a large part, then, of the Negro doctor to teach the gospel of health to our people, and in this much needed work institutions like the medical school of Howard University should have the support and confidence of all people of this country, regardless of race or color, and especially is it important that Southern people of Howard is doing for the whole South in helping to preserve the health of the Negro." The Tuskegee educator was introduced to his audience, which filled the chapel to overflowing, by Dr. Thirkeld, president of the university. He referred to him as "an educator, a statesman, a humanitarian and a citizen of the world." Matriculating Exercises at Howard University. WASHINGTON, D. C., October 6—On last Friday evening the university held its matriculating exercises at the Wm. M. Evart's Hall, near the United States Court House. The opening was a most auspicious one. The address of the evening was made by Justice Atkinson, of the Court of Claims, and brief talks were made by President Thirfield and Dean B. Leighton, under whose hand the law school has grown from a few dozen students to a than, hundred, and the accommodations from one rented room to a magnificent structure in keeping with other modern buildings of the university. Many of the old graduates of the school, who have made their way in the world, were present, and all reports gave evidence of a large attendance and a most successful school year President Thirkeld is doing everything in his power, not only to maintain, but also to better this department of the university J.
