VOL. XXIII. No. 7. Effort Will Be Made To Severely Punish Lynchers According to Laws of Illinois the County Must Pay Out Thousands of Dollars LYNCHING DEPLORED Paparra Bame Sherif for Rewaling Away From Hab Instud of Pacing It—Negro and White Man Killed. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. CAIRO, Ill Nov 16—Springfield had to pay a large sum for the lynchings that disgraced the name of that city some months ago and it will cost Cairo thousands of dollars because of the killing of "Froggy" Janes, colored, and Henry Salzner, white, who were mobbed last week. All is now quiet here and only a few companies of militia remain to see that there are no further outbreaks. Sheriff Davis is busy gathering evidence which will be presented to the Grand Jury. It is reported that several officials of Karnak, Ill are said to have taken part in the lynching. Mayor Parsons has issued a statement that he will do all in his power to see that the culprits are punished, and he further stated: "The entire community was worked up to such a pitch that no other termination was possible. I believe that the majority of the citizens are pleased at the turn of affairs, and while they deplore the disgrace of the city and State, they believe that the result will be salutary. "There has not been an official execution in Cairo for ten or fifteen years and no one has been guilty of his crimes. Juries have failed to convict in homicide cases, or have convicted only for minor degrees, and it has been possible for murderers to escape. In fact, murder in Cairo has, I regret to say, been tolerably safe. The feeling against crime that has so long been suppressed has found vent, and I believe that Cairo will be peaceful and law-abiding here-after." "Froggy" James, the Negro who was lynched, was being held by the authorities for the murder of Annie Pelley, a white women Henry Salzner was charged with wife murder. When the remains of James was found the morning after the lynching, his head was located on a pole, and the torso was cut open. The heart had been taken out and divided into bits, the members of the mob taking the pieces as souvenirs. Salzner's father had some difficulty in getting the body away, as the crowd wanted to burn it. That Illinois is deep'y affected and ashamed of the affair is shown by the editorial expressions of the newspapers throughout the State. The New York Times deeply regrets the lynching and denands that the law-breaker is punished, as follows. "Thursday's lynching in Southern Illinois seems to have lacked even the colorate excuse which has been offered for man such attrocities. Cairo has a considerable colored population, including many negroes of bad character, but it cannot pretend inability to control such criminals, since they form a small fraction of the whole population. The terrible crime had been committed with full justification for inflicting grief and promp justice, but the murder was under arrest, the faculties for death with him in an orderly way were at hand and what his fate would have been when a Cairo jury had decided to do it. It was in these circumstances that the mob gathered and did work. Its size precludes the possibility that it was composed wholly of the riot and serious element in the commission and the participation of hunters in the most shocking slaughter adds a touch of special interest and disgust to the episode that seems to have been in clinical contact with his prisoner, but not to the point of doing his full duty. He ran for the mob instead of facing it. If he entered that he was himself armed in command of an armed force, though small, was still large enough to back twenty times as many blood-hungry and yet cowardly conscious of being in the war, no effort at real resistance shots well aimed, perhaps a threat to shoot, if made in a carried conviction, would probably cause Cairo, Illinois, and the whole way from a cruel disgrace. while the mob killed a white man as he prota showed a certain impartiality it increased rather than mitigate its shame, since it revealed more there of more excuses than to adequate provocation for a man to barbarism. It is now the State officials to prove, betrayed this poor sheriff, their com- HOWARD DAY APPOINTED Succeed the late Hearl k. Herbert as Document Clerk at Treason. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. TRENTON, N. J., November 17 — Howard Day, of Somerville, N. J., has been appointed document clerk at the State House, Trenton, N. J., to succeed the late R. Henry Herbert. Mr. Day was educated at the Institute for Colored Youth, Philadelphia, Pa., and holds certificates for the completion of three years' work in pedagogy and other subjects of an academic nature at the University of Pennsylvania. Four years ago Mr. Day was a member of the faculty of his alma mater and has been principal of a grammar school in Somerville for eight years. He has been a constant student of his profession and has earned a principal's certificate, by examination, for the public schools of HOWARD DAY Philadelphia, a Regent's high school diploma from the University of the State of New York, and a teacher's life state certificate from the State of New York, which is said to be the most rigid examination in the State for teachers. Mr. Day is president of the Somerville Colored Republican Club and has been a successful superintendent of the Sunday school of Zion church. A petition containing the signatures of more than 200 prominent colored men of the State was presented to Governor Fort in the interest of Mr. Day. This office is one of considerable importance as it has charge of all public documents which are printed and delivered at the Capitol. It is the best position in the State, of any sort of a political character, that is held by a colored man and it carries with it a salary of $1,200 a year DEMOCRATS CHAGRINED. Greatly Disappointed Over Defeat of Diffranchisement Measure in Mary- land Special to THE NEW YORK AGE BALTIMORE, Md., November 17 — It has been rather quiet in the Democratic camp as the anti-Negro politicians are just getting over the bitter defeat administered at the recent election in which the disfranchisement measure was defeated. Last week William Shephard Bryan, former acting attorneys-general of Maryland, and an advocate of Negro disfranchisement, declared that as the people had spoken so unmistakably against disfranchisement it would be foolish to submit another amendment in 1911. This declaration is from a man who stated if he had the power of a Turkish cultan he would issue a ukise disfranchising the Negro. While white Republicans and inde- pendent Democrats voted against the amendment in order to save their own power they are not so much in love with the Negro. To the close observer it looks as if Maryland is a Republican State. Indeed the late I. Freeman Rasm Democratic boss of Baltimore, was quoted as saying that Maryland had been Republican for ten years. The State gave large ma- nties for McKinley in 1890 and in 1900 1901 just after trick ballot laws had been enacted, the Republicans named one presidential elec- tor, Charles J. B. a partie. The same was repeated in 1908 when eleven counties out of twenty-three had election laws distinctly favorable to the Democrats. The Republicans would have trump- hed all over the State the other day if the fair election law enacted in 1900 had been on the statute books. NEW PRESIDENT AT F19K. Dr. George A.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER Attempt of Mrs. George Oliver to Take Daughter Away From Plantation Results Seriously. Special to TUB NEW YORK AGR. CRENSHAW, Miss., November, 16.—Two wealthy planters, Arthur Martin and his father, H. W. Martin, have been arrested here charged with murder of Mrs. George Oliver, a Negro woman and her daughter. Behind the affair an interesting story of Southern conditions is told. The killing of the two colored women resulted in an attempt on their part to take away from the Martin plantation a daughter of Mrs. Oliver, who was beetle detained by the younger Martin as mistress. The girl, who is a beautiful octooroon, witnessed the killing of her mother and sister. After seeing the shooting the girl ran away from the plantation and hid in a deserted cabin all day. At night she gained sufficient courage to come to Crenshaw, where she hunted up the authorities and told of the double tragedy. Sheriff McArthur organized a posse and went to the Martin plantation. The Martins barricaded their doors and opened fire on the posse. The Sheriff did not return the fire. He withdrew his posse, and going to a telephone got the younger Martin to talk. Then the men surrendered. The Oliver girl has been living in the Martin household for six months. She went there as a servant, but young Martin took her out of the chambers, gowned her in costly clothes and openly rode about the neighborhood with her. This angered the girl's mother. In company with another daughter, the mother went to the Martin house and demanded that her daughter return with her. Arthur Martin heard the demands of the woman from his room. He walked out to the gallery with a gun and fired four shots. The two women fell dead. The son is held over a murder, the father as an accessory man, the mistress is sweeping the man, she takes the heard Tremont Temple AACA Booker T. W. Washington naims well with the interest of proposed Negro exposition. TUSKEGEE, Ala. November 15—It will be recalled that at the recent meeting of the National Business League in Louisville the following resolution among others was passed "Since the year 1913 will mark the close of a half century since the promulgation of the Emancipation Proclamation, we recommend that a committee, of which the president of this league shall be chairman, be appointed at once to take into consideration a National Negro Exposition to commemorate the fifthieth anniversary of freedom, its location, scope and financing." In carrying out the spirit and purpose of this resolution, Dr Booker T. Washington President of the National Negro Business League has appointed, to serve on this committee the following persons: F. L. Blackhear, Principal, Prairie View State Normal School, Prairie View, Tex., Dr. C. T. Walker president Walker Baptist College Augusta, Ga. and Major R. R. Moton, Hampton Institute, Hampton Va. Others to constitute members of this committee will be announced at an early date. It is understood that the committee will have a meeting at some central point soon. WILL NOT MAKE VOTES President Taft's Visit Through the South tourt tourt Solid South. Washington, D.C. November 17 Last week President Lizard left his trip with the South where he was received with much warmth and cordiality. Not there is a politician in this city, who believes that the trip to the President's office that section will make many votes for the Republican party in the South. The election results in Virginia a few weeks ago in which the Lizard Writes sought to defeat Democrat by eliciting the New York has to issue them in Washington who feel I relegating the Negro states to the right to feel too enthralled. Virginia a lot democrats with the only large majority in the past although no Negro have been appointed to office. President Taft knew very well that his journeying through the Southern States will have no upheaving effect Texas Missouri Alabama Georgia and the Carolinas will be found hard and fast in the Democratic column at the next election. But he believes that he has gained a great many friends and that his visits will make for an era of better feeling. President Roosevelt used to say that he had more friends and fewer votes in Texas than in any State in the Union remarked Mr. Taft at Houston "and I want to say that I am after your friendship too. That's all I ask you for. The votes will come later." Negro Deported from Cape Colony. William Harris, a Negro, was a passenger in the steerage of the American liner St. Louis, in from Southampton and Cherbourg. He was shipped by liner from South Africa to Southampton and there put aboard the St. Louis.

He was sent from Cape Colony, according to detectives, because he had a bad attack. The English laws are somewhat different from our own in regard to undesirable behavior; they authorize their deportation to other countries from port from Ellis Island and so that authorities there may decide whether not he is an American Negro. He may think otherwise he may be sent to Southampton. Has Series of Salmon Exhibits and Events—Tuskegee Playet. Special to THE NEW YORK DOR. TUSKERGEE, Ala., November 15—The Institute observed a New Holiday Saturday to attend the Macon County Fair. The fair ground is just a mile from the Institute campus, and the girls marched out chaptering by a number of lady teachers. The Institute band furnished music. The Macon County Fair is an annual gathering of the farmers and their families, and was founded by Mr. Washington for the purpose of forming a close union of the Macon County farmers for the purpose of exposing them to inspect examples of their farmer's farm and dairy products, and encouraging in them an ambition to improve their methods of production and to grip each other in exhibiting the latest specimens of their annual labor. The Fair was unanimous that all the exhibitors were colorful people belonging within Macon County. There were sweet potatoes weighing 7 pounds apiece. They were specimens of different kinds of corn and groups of old farmers discussing the full ear, the large husk, the small grains, the symmetrical ear, and the corn, there were also, in many varieties, sugar corn, tomatoes, cotton, pear, beans, pumpkins and broom-straw. They had brought the stock too, in abundance; and there were hogs labelled as the best for bacon, as the best for ham, and those best for the greatest amount of lard. There were also horses, colts, cows, sheep, and pigs. the farmers' wives were not wanting with their exhibits, they had their poultry, eggs, butter, milk, skimmed milk, cream and butter. They had dressed poultry, and poultry labelled as friers, broilers, and most prolific layers. There were the traces of sewings, embroideries, and there was an old woman who kept aaint spinning wheel, instructing the crew in the operation of the machine, and new cotton out into a certain area, which meant some sort of a race course and soon they metalled their finest horses in running and trotting contests. There was the mule race too, and a humorous scene with an old farmer seated in a side saddle and his mule siding along the track. An automobile race was announced. The crowd banked themselves up on the sides of the track, jamming each other in eager expectation to be deceived by an old pair of slow oxen drawing a wooden house upon wheels one foot high. There were foot races and the fastest run was made by a farmer who, throwing his shoes aside and tying his overalls tight around his ankle, entered the race at the announcement, sprinted the whole distance of a quarter mile and came in yards ahead of his competitors.

The Gaines faction among the local lodges are very enlarged over this victory MAY BECOME BOROUGH Should Court Grant Application Negroes Would Run Government and Hold all the Offices. Special to The New York Aux. FOLCROFT, Pa., November 16—There is trouble ahead in the little town of Folcroft, and the old cry of Negro domination is being uttered by many of the whites. There is a possibility of the village becoming a borough, and if such a condition comes to pass it will mean that Folcroft will have Negro officials. The colored residents of Folcroft are ambitious that the village become a borough and have made application to the courts that a charter be granted in order that it assume a higher and more dignified standing. The white residents have organized to oppose the application made by the dark-skinned citizens, the objection being that the colored voters would be in the majority, hold all the offices and conduct the affairs of the place as they saw it. Robert Kelson, a prominent Negro contractor, made the following statement a few days ago: "We want to make Folcroft essentially a colored borough and a place for respectable colored people to reside. We are in the majority here, and we intend to adhere to the usual rule of the majority ruling." William Balus, another well known Negro of Folcroft, is equally anxious that the town be known as a colored settlement. He wants to see members of the race assume complete control of Folcroft, have charge of the government and conduct their own schools. On the other hand the whites say they are unalterably opposed to Folcroft becoming a borough; that if the Negroes want a borough they should apply for incorporation for their own settlement, but that if they include all of Folcroft interesting developments will follow through the courts. "Folcroft never become a colored borough," said prominent white citizen. The court would never dare to give it a further under such conditions." SHERIFF SHIPP IN JAIL United States Supreme Court Sentences Gerald R. Ford to 10 years in Citizens of Changsha for Contempt. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON, D C, Nov 10—Before the bar of the United States Supreme Court, Monday, Sheriff Joseph F Shipp, Luther Williams and Nick No'an were sentenced to serve ninety days in the District of Columbia Jail, and Jeremiah Gibson, Henry Padgett and William Masse to sixty days. All are residents of Chattanooga, Tenn., and have been sentenced to imprisonment for contempt in connection with the lynching of a Negro near Chattanooga in whose case the court had granted a stay of execution. On imposing sentence Chief Justice Feller said "You, John F. Shipp, Jeremiah Gibson, Luther Williams, Nick Nolan, Henry Padgett and William Mayse are before this court on an attachment for contempt. You have been fully heard orally and on printed briefs, and after through consideration you have been found guilty. The grounds upon which the conclusion was reached are set forth in the opinion held herein on M day, May 24, 1900 and need not be re- pulated nor need we dwell upon the destructive consequences of permitting the transaction complained of to pass a precedent for unpursished in court. The adjudgment of the Court that punishment for the contempt of law kept Lester Williams and Nick Norman and each of you be imprisoned for the general scrupty days and that you入院 taken in Henry Padditt and William Mayer and each of you be imprisoned for the general scrupty days in the jail of the District of Columbia. He was sentenced to the jail with how many days the Medical office and it 12 15 the four days on the crooked stairs leading to the jail red outrance way below the court room all were taken to the district jail. As the big harried deer of the cold swing open to receive them, Warden Mickey stood before them. "At least we are in the hands of a siberian" exclaimed Capt Shipp, who is a Confederate veteran, as he espied a G. A. R. button on the lapel of Warden McKee's coat. Then turning to his five fellow prisoners, he said: "Boys, it will be all right." The prisoners wanted to be transferred to a Southern prison, but they found their quarters, a large room once used for female prisoners, so pleasant that they withdrew their previous request to the Court. Shipp and Gibson had been found guilty of failing to protect from a mob Ed. Johnson, a negro, whose execution for assaulting a woman had been stayed by the Supreme Court until it could review the case. The others had been found guilty of participation in the lynching of a Federal prisoner. Less than three years ago Shipp was the companion of President Roosevelt on a wild ride along the country roads in the vicinity of Chattanooga, and the President declared Shipp to be the most capable horseman he had met. The New York World condemns the conduct of ministers of Cairo, who have failed to denounce the lynchers, as follows: "The open approval of the double lynching at Cairo by clergymen of that city as not disgraceful in the circumstances but "necessary to arouse the people" reveals an extraordinary theory of the criminal's relation to society. "If a murder can be extenued by the pulpit on the ground of its efficacy in awakening the civic conscience, by the same argument arson, burglary and highway robbery have similar good uses in less degree. Apparently New York has not been sufficiently appreciative of the most asset it has in its murderers, its gangs and its grafters." "According to the theory of the Cairo divines these their sphere of usefulness and exert a beneficial influence on public morals. It is not unprofitable to speculate on the deferred debt of gratitude the city owes to its 102 unpunished murderers, its traction looters, to the Sugar Trust and dishonest customs officers. They keep burning the torch of civic virtue "A different view is held by the Supreme Court of the United States, which has sentenced ex-Sheriff Shipp, of Chattanooga to ninety days' imprisonment for contempt of court in failing to prevent a lynching and has imposed sentences on a jailer and others for connection with the crime. In the court's opinion, the city of public officials safeguard criminals under a strict outbreaks of civic conscience which involve murder. It is an old-fashioned view, but the Supreme Court of the United States is a safer guide than the Cairo elergymen." FORM PLANS IN CHICAGO.

PRICE, 5 CENTS TREATMENT IN U. S. NAVY Sailor Declares That Negroes are Discriminated Against COLOR PREJUDICE Recruiting Officers Instructed to Enlist Negroes for Mess Branch Only is Charged. FEWINSEAMAN SERVICE Thousands in Navy as Messmen, but it is a Difficult Matter to Cope Acreas a Negro Seaman. In the issue of The Age of October 28, was published a long statement given out by the Navy Department to The Age correspondent at Washington in which the charge that Negro sailors are being discriminated against in the United States Navy was vigorously denied. Despite the denial at Washington many Negro sailors declare that these reports of discrimination are true. A Negro sailor who has been in service for two years, in an interview with a representative of The Age disagree with the Navy Department and Washington and says there is prejudice against the Negro sailor; that the position of seaman is not open to all, the department at Washington instructing the recruiting officers not to enlist colored applicants into the seaman service. Thousands are in the mess branch, however. The views of the sailor on discrimination in the Navy is as follows. "In your issue of October 28 an article, entitled 'To Take Up Sailors' Case on Discrimination,' is interesting from a sailor's standpoint, there being several misleading features contained. For instance, the statement is made that only a portion of the whites were on parade during the Hudson-Fulton Celebration. Onite tells. Any one who has given the institute of discrimination the ship to go on parade alone. "Continuing, the article said: The proportion of Negro seamen is one to 400 that the advancement to this position was through an arduous preliminary course with extraordinary small pay to begin with, but open to all applicants. Han Never Seer a Negro Seaman. "The last statement asserting that the position of seaman being open to all applicants is not correct. The writer will soon have seen two years of naval service and has never seen a Negro seaman, but I will graciously add that there are some. When the facts are considered one can but decide that the recruiting officers are instructed by the department not to enlist black men into the seaman branch. "Do you not gain an inference that there is hardly any comparable amount of Negro seamen? But is it not singular that there are thousands in the mess branch, and only one to 400 in the seaman branch? "Continuing the article said: 'There are but few Negroes at Washington or elsewhere in the country preparing at the present time to be seamen. This is quite true. The inference is that the Negro is at fault. "The facts are these. The Government has at Newport and Norfolk big training stations where enlisted men are prepared for their various duties in the naval service. No previous knowledge of the subjects taught being required in any of the department. This is especially true in the seaman branch. For this reason we are unable to understand why there are not more Negro seamen. More mature consideration one can but think they are not wanted."

A Audience. Three hundred men crowded themselves into the lecture hall, social room and office of the Manhattan Y. M. C. A last Sunday afternoon to listen to the address of Rabbi Alexander Lyons, A. M. Ph. D., of the Temple Beth Eohm, Brooklyn, on the subject, "If I Were a Negro." On the platform also were Bishop Scott, of Liberia, West Africa, Rev Dr. M. W. McMullen, of Little Zion; Rev. Dr. J. C. Fernanders, of the U. A. M E. church; Rev Dr. C LeRoy Butler, of St. James Presbyterian church, and others. Rabbi Lyons spoke in part as follows: "Few of us are able to put ourselves in a manner of peace. If we were able to do that, much of our troubles in this world would be at an end. The great aim of each person should be to press back more and more his bad qualities, and to bring forward more and more his good qualities, for every person in this world has some of each. "If I were a Negro I would be, first of all, simply a plain Negro, without trying or attempting to be a 'colored' person God made us what we are I have a notion that your race antedates mine, and if you are a Negro do not be ashamed of it I would get over that supersensitiveness that so many Negroes have with reference to their name I would not allow white people to flatter me by calling me a 'colored' man instead of a black man or Negro "Again, if I were a Negro I should be so content with being a Negro that I would make it my chief aim to develop myself to the fullest possibilities of my race. I do not believe that one race of people is inherently superior to another, but I do believe that in some things the white race is superior, and in other things the black race is superior. Now if I were a Negro I would make it the ambition of my life to find out that which I was best fitted for, and then pursue that so vigorously and perform so well that I would defy any man the world over to do it better. I would not try to do one thing when I knew that my talent lay in another direction so much upon 'pull' or 'influence' as For after all, success to-day depends not upon superiority. "Again, if I were a Negro I should feel a heavy responsibility to see to it that not only myself, but as many others of my race as possible came up to the highest moral and intellectual standard as possible. or the white race is unjustly inclined to judge all Negroes alike the good feel that if he lifts himself above the common level of his race he escapes the odium of the white race, for he does not. At this stage their development all must rise or fall together. I should feel that the Negro who does a bovine mean trick harms me as well as himself "Again, if I were a Negro it would not matter how much or little I earned, I would live within my income—I would lay up something for the rainy day. For as the world goes to-day, the man who has nothing is lightly esteemed. There are two books which every man ought to endeavor to have. The first is the Bible. A man is only half a man if he is ignorant of the Bible, for it is the Book of books. The next is the bank book. These two are the best possession of all, and should be possessed by all "Listen, my friends, to this parting word. The Jew, in all ages of the world, has been oppressed and persecuted. No race of people on the earth has suffered as he has. But in spite of it all, the Jew has trumped Why? Because the sorrows and persecutions and hardships he has endured have uprised him on to a higher endeavor. And should he have it with your race. Instead of being cast down and discouraged by what he bear and suffer, loo kupon your sufferings and to lash you to a higher and noir he yours, for all things will come to you, purpose and in the end all things shall even as they have come to the Jew." Dr Fernanders and Dr McMullen and Dr Goetz follow Dr Lyons with remarks that were greatly enjoyed by the audience. The second entertainment in the Star Course will be on Sunday night by Prof. E. W Bogert, a very high class magician. The Red Cross Society will Friday evening and on Sunday afternoon see Dr Oliver Hart Bronson, of the Dewitt Memorial Church, will speak.

Correspondence of THE AQR. HINGOON D. C., November 17. Epidemic of resignation has broken up the white officials at Wash- affecting two of the members of board of commissioners, W. B. F. Farland and Henry West. Commis- sion West has resigned to become a with Scott C. Bone on the Wash- Herald, and Commissioner Mac- d has resigned to practice law, recently passed the bar. It is ex- tended that Mr. Macfarland will even- serve upon the bench in Washing- a under Captain James F. Oyster of the school ward is the most prominent candidate of the commissionership at present and seems likely that the commission will unite into a single head at a salary $10,000. There are as many as a number of candidates, but Mr. Taft has resigned upon those who have resigned continue to serve until January 1, it gives his intention to delay appointments considerably. The epidemic has had no effect as yet among the Negro office holders in the city and it is believed all entirely immune. A number of Negro citizens have indicated their intention to support Capt Oyster in his adjutancy. Attempts are being made to cause dissatisfaction at M Street High School where principal F C Williams has recently taken control in a masterful way. The question of favoritism in the rarding of commissions to cadet officers is narrowed down to the M street institution, as the matter under the direction of Dr W Bruce Evans and essrs. Mattingly Washington and ewman is satisfactorily adjuste@ at Armstrong Technical institution he awards of commissions at M Street high school are in the hands of Garf C Wilkinson and Capt. E. D Weber. The latest were made after a written and demonstrative examinat in which seniory of rank from year cut out no small figure. The high award at M Street High School was to Wilfrid Lawson, his lieutenants in Ellis Rivers and Harry Keelan Company was awarded to Willis Richdon, with Roscoe Pinkett and Leon ayer as heutenants. Among all of these officers Pinkett passed the highest titten examination and Lawson was asking officer from last year. The claim is made by Negro newspapers Washington that family name direct all of the awards, regardless of examination. The implication, while commentary to some of those involved, is peculiar that it is much misunderstood, since no one of the officers is or could be qualified through family name action more than that of Ellis Rivers, so of Ransom Berean Church, lieutenant in A company, to date declined to serve commission being abetted, some hold over, by those who are responsible to the newspaper talk. Hugh Shipley is been detailed to act as lieutenant bble the matter is under advisement. It has been freely circulated through the newspapers of Washington that an investigation is pending into the management of Freedman's Hospital. It seems at one or two patients lately have contained of rough treatment at the hands of various interes The management of the hospital, Dr Warfield in charge, prepared for any investigation which might be made. The same, it is believed, will reveal no conditions which it not found in the other hospitals of the city, and complaint in question at absent was made to the Interior Department to a bible class well known in the capital through the Board of Charities. The stories which have gone to press at late day, regarding the future of certain of Washington's Negro officials have turned out to be mere conceptions of imaginative correspondents. There is no foundation for the rumors of the aspirations of Judge Terrell for position at the Howard University Law School. The question has been raised as to Judge Terrell's stress for the position, if position there is vacant or in the process of creation at the wisdom of the policy of appointing men to positions, who are already there. If there is anything to this unjustified story, it is the consensus of that the Law School at Howard might well secure a man so properly trained as the judge, could his services be trained. Many are led to wonder there is a lack of wisdom shown by Judge Harlan's part when he accepts a position in a law school in Washington. Judge Terrell is well known for teaching and administra-tive work shown at the M Street High School and is not excelled on the bench at the capital in his line of work. He is proud of his record, of course, of friends are boosting him for various situations that mean more to him in the stories of several cor-respondents who serve to draw wool over the public as to the real masters of the judge or of the president. Howard University, but will be part of the people only a part of Work continuously the representatives of the National Medical Association at the convention are preparing for the two-day convention next summer at the capital August 23, 24 and there is considerable enthusiasm in the work and a large attendant offered from the mass of borrowers which is coming to those of medical fraternity daily. A local office has been organized and a board of managers created there from committees of the chairman of all of the commission an excellent showing with regard to the scientific interest of the occasion promised and the large grittiness somewhat in a secondary as to what social functions to attend. The hospital has medical, dental, will consult in charge of neither of the matters. It will be controlled through the board of managers of the local committee representing the alumni medical association of Howard University. Footnotes standing committees and have been formulated and it is working at full stride. Funds are being raised on a guarantee basis through assessment.

THE FIENDS AT CAIRO. Governor Fort of New Jersey, we said last week, should sustain the high honor of New Jersey in bringing to justice the last scoundrel of the mob which gathered at Gloucester City and stormed the house of supposed new Negro residents. Governor Deneen of Illinois is now called upon not alone for the honor of his state but as well for the honor of his country to avenge one of the blackest crimes that ever disgraced American soil. No sadder, no more ominous reflection upon American civilization and progress has been recorded than this report of the revolting and brutal mutilation of the body of the Negro James by the mob of ten thousand fiends at Caito: "In the lynching of James last night the rope was in the hands of women who pulled up the body a few feet when the rope broke. The Negro being then riddled with bullets, the body dragged to a fire ignited by a woman. The negro's head was cut and placed on a pole, which was in the ground. The heart was taken out cut up in small pieces and passed among the men as souvenirs. Pieces of rope with which he was hanged being soaked in the Negro's blood, were also handed about as souvenirs morning there was nothing left of the negro's body but a pile of bone large crowds of women visited the spot." --- Words fail. Any American proud to boast of his country as the home of the free and the brave can not but have his head with shame. Wherein America differ from Rome in, for lack of Nero glloating over his candles? How can America prove over the murder of Jews at Kishdheef? What about the children of the women who took part in this horrible massacre and her incest, in the main analysis, are to blame for this deep disgrace. Springfield, the almost hallowed home of Abraham Lincoln was the unchastened precursor of Cairo. Had the murderers been punished for their riotous rampage of blood and destruction in 1908, there would not have been this barbarous outbreak in 1909. Illinois officials may save their state from such future calamities by making an example of the fiends at Cairo. No half-hearted attempts that will end with a grand jury indictment will suffice. Nothing less than a thorough scourging of the Cairo mob will save Illinois from a rebellion of Cairo. Governor Denean can and should render his State this heroic service. NEGRO BOY AT WEST POINT. There is a chance for a Negro student to enter West Point. Congressman Herbert Parsons says that he will make an appointment to West Point from his district in New York through a competitive examination. Any one between the ages of 17 and 22 is eligible to enter the examination to be appointed to West Point. Here is a chance for one of our brightest boys in New York to get into West Point. We feel quite sure that if he meets the tests, Congressman Parsons will appoint him THE JEW. We publish in another column a document furnished by an out-of-town correspondent, which shows the way in which the Jews were treated in Frankfort, Germany, more than a hundred years ago. To-day in some cities of Frankfort the Jews are the ruling power, the influence of the Rothschild is now felt in every part of the world. A hundred years ago the law gave every Gentile a license to treat every Jew with contempt and, perhaps, with insult. And the law made them live in such a way as to make existence a constant humiliation. To-day most people in Germany and every other civilized part of the world feel ashamed to show that they hate the Jew because of his race, Here is matter for the colored men in America to ponder Let Negroes follow the example of the Jew. PRESIDENT GATES OF PARK. Fisk University to the Negroes of this country more nearly than any other institution, fills the position of Harvard or Yale. No institution of higher learning is nearer the hearts of the black people than is Fisk University. It is in the highest sense a real college, doing first class college work, and the race is least proud of work. from Nashville, to the effect that a new president has just been elected at Fisk. From what we can understand he is a man of high ideals, and will keep Fisk University on the high plane that it has hitherto sustained as a first class college. We congratulate Fisk and we congratulate the race upon securing Dr. Gates. TAFT AT RICHMOND. It was a good thing that a group of colored people gave President Taft the opportunity to speak to them in the capitol building at Richmond. D. Weoster Davis made an eloquent and very fitting speech on behalf of the Negro population. We wish that Mr. Taft could have spent an hour m driving through the portions of Richmond where he might have seen what the Negro is doing in the way of real progress. We wish he might have seen the three Negro banks, The True Reformers Hall and Hotel. We wish he might have seen how these people, emancipated only 45 years ago, have gotten hold of over three million dollars' worth of property. The speech which Mr. Taft made in reply to Mr. Davis was one of the best he made on the entire southern trip. MISSISSIPPI SOCIAL EQUALITY.* MISSISSIPPI SOCIAL EQUALITY. In another column of THE Age we publish a news item from Creshman, Miss., which indicates more plainly than words can express the hypocrisy that many white people in this country use in reference to racial purity. While the Negro is trying to keep his race pure, a certain class of white people are trying to cross the race line. It looks as if it is the Negro who has to fight against social equality rather than the white man. DOCTORS AND THE HOOKWORM. A lot of money is going to be spent in the South in the next five years in fighting the hookworm. Sad to say, many Negroes as well as poor whites have the hookworm. What will the Negro doctor do in this campaign? The Negro doctor should not sit still and let the white doctor alone experiment upon the Negro. White doctors cannot get at the truth. Negro doctors can. We call upon Dr. Wheatland, president of the National Negro Medical Association; Dr. Keffyn, Dr. George H. Hall, Dr. Curtis, and other leading Negro doctors to take measures to see to it at once that Negro doctors get a rightful place in the hookworm investigation. Here is an opportunity for many young Negroes who are studying the profession, to spend their vacatin data and giving the hookworm treatment. Let the Negro doctors wake up and become THE HENSON DINNER METHOD. In another portion of THE AGE, we publish this week a statement showing the receipts and expenditures in connection with the recent Henson dinner. We call attention to this editorially for the reason that the action of the committee in this respect sets an example in accounting to the public for funds which should be followed by other committees. Hon. Charles W. Anderson and his committee have set a precedent in this respect which we hope will be followed by all the people hereafter who collect money for public functions THE SUCCESS OF McANENY The election of a man like George McAneny is a godsend to all classes of people. He is a clean, straightforward, honest gentleman, who would rather lose his right hand than to swerve one iota from what is right and just. The Negro, the Jew, and every other race can depend upon George McAneny for absolute fairness and justice. He absolutely knows nothing about mean and dirty politics. We predict that before Mc. McAneny is through with his term of office that he will prove that he is one of the wisest and best friends of our race that New York City has ever had. As a private citizen, he has lost no opportunity to manifest in a most practical way his deep interest in anything that concerns our people. The Negroes in New York City can trust George McAneny In these days of increasing mob law and revolting lynching horrors, such as the burning and decapitation of James by the Cairo mob, these ringing words of warning by Abraham Lincoln must appeal with a peculiar force to all who take a thought for the future of this country: "Thus then by the operation of this mobocratic spirit which all must admit is now abroad in the land, the strongest bulwark of any government and particularly of those constituted like ours—I mean the attachment of the people—may effectually be broken down and destroyed." President Taft we have always credited with both howeasy and wisdom in dealing with race situations and with a keen insight into Southern conditions. But after his comparatively apathetic reception throughout the South and the petty little snobberies at the hands of Southern governors, mayors and senators like Tillman, we venture to say that he is vastly wiser on the South tep-day than ever before. Calvin Rowdy, Negro of Benton North Dakota, if the enmployment is confirmed that William Eagle, white, is disqualified by the fact that he has already filed upon another homestead will have first choice of the Cheyenne and Standing Rock reservation lands His choice is considered worth $20,000. We feel like congratulating Mr. hudry, and all other successful Negro apicants who had the courage and the wisdom to seek their future in the Northwest bonanza. We say courage and wisdom to go to the Northwest. It takes manhood for one to leave the settled community of the efface East and try his fortune in the wild and undeveloped West. It is a wise man who realizes the greater opportunities of the West and will take advantage of his chances to realize them. There are many more reservations aggregating millions of acres of productive lands to be opened up within the next few months. We wish ago to urge young colored men to the applications for these homesteads. There are many capable and ambitious men here in these great cities the East bound to menal condition Eager to rise, fitted for better they are tied to a humdrum and unhappy dependent life To all such young men, we repeat the phrase Horace Greeley: Young Man, Go West With a little capital, go into one of the Western communities and grow up rich and prosperous with the country His name is legron, both black and white who, following the advice of the great journalist, now call him blessed. Ditions to-day make the advice more compelling than ever before. To the lazy neer-do-well, to the spendthrift inoculated with the virus of the Great White Way, the West offers nothing. But to the young dissatisfied Negro who would be a man among men, who values independence and equal opportunity, who would have a home, health and happiness, by all means, we say, take advantage* of the grand op portunitities, the West yet holds out to you. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS No consolation whatever comes to the political prophets of the dissolution of the Solid South when they view the complete victories of Democracy in Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky. The time-wasters and busybodies had just as well change their tack, for the cooling zephyr will no longer blow due South. Sheriff Shipp and the other five elderly defendants of Chattanooga convicted of contempt, though they received an unusually light sentence and have every convenience in their almost palatial quarters, are nevertheless serving a jail sentence in the Government jail. In jail-aha, that's the rub for the South. California has again defied the National Government, this time through her Supreme Court, which says a Syrian is white in the meaning of the law and thus eligible to citizenship. California certainly wants her own sweet way. A year ago she wanted to fight to discriminate against Asiatics, and now she would fight those following her lead. The Filipino Nationalists, or the "immediate independence" party, scored a landslide in their assembly and provincial elections, as if to notify their new Governor-General Cameron Forbes, the ex-Harvard football player, that his services will not be long wanted. Who ever heard of that discarded old political maxim: "Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed"? The National Geographical Society gavo Peary a gold medal after certifying to his discovery of the North Pole, while Matthew Henson, as the only other American at the Pole, came in neither for medal nor mention. Under any circumstances this was a blundous oversight, for in the coming battle for popular acclaim, Peary cannot afford to alienate the affections of ten millions. The New York Episcopal Diocesan Conference neatly sidestepped the Negro question as suggested by the Triennial Convention in their consideration of colored suffragan bishops for the large and growing number of colored Episcopalians, yet the body favored a suffragan bishop for New York. The Negro question is making this nation an aggregation of dexterous mental acrobats and logical high jumpers. Professor Munro, of Brown University, rendered the nation and the Negro a signal service by blazing out Maryland's hypocrisy at the psychological moment with the proposed disfranchising question test upon his advanced students. All professors are not dead to the great world of affairs, as is popularly supposed, neither henceforth will the practical ignorance of college students serve henceforth only to illustrate the distraction of football. AN EDUCATIONAL TEST. Ohio Journal Holds Up the Test in Merrillland to Partition. The constitutional amendment, which was defeated in Maryland, last week, provided an educational test of a singular character. But there was no education about it. It was nothing but a high wall to keep Negroes and foreigners from voting. The president of a college, or even an editor, could not have The test was applied to the history class of 24 students in Brown University and not one was able to give the last. Five made complete failures. Between teenage, the full name of the President, four could recollect William, and two just wrote it Taft. One could give the full name of a justice of the United States Supreme Court, and seven did not know the last name of a single member of that court. No one knew the full name of the Governor of his own State. And this was to be the test to be applied to a Negro before he could vote in Maryland. It was defeated, of course. If they wanted to disfranchise people, it was a poor way to do it, and a mean way, too. We talk about the "square deal" that there ever was anything about, but there was it that proposed amendment. A game of chuck-a-luck would have been as just a test. Ohio State Journal. BALTIMORE TIMES PRAISE For Age Editorial on Maryland Victory Baltimore Wanta Centennial. I to the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE I want to congratulate you on your editorial, "Victory of Maryland." It is mighty good for one dealing with the battle range. What you could be down here range, thick of it, so as to get some first hand touch with the affairs. I am anxious to see that 1913 proposition, Accordingly, we have been working quietly in Baltimore and in Maryland ever since the session of the Business League of Louisville, to round things up in such a way that the proposition to handle the proposition; and while it remains to be seen whether Baltimore will be favored with the location of the proposition. I have no hesitation in supporting the sources of Baltimore, with its liberty loving colored and white citizens, who so severely rebuked the Disfranchisement Amendment on November 2, is the most active in the country for the proposed celebration. I suppose you have seen enough of the Times to know that it is constructive in the fight against the colored people in line and fighting this Disfranchisement Amendment. Everybody acquainted with the facts, of course, can sense that; and now we are out of our forces on this 1913 proposition. Yours for vigorous, constructive, pioneer effort, the kind that tells, that lasts. BUGH E. MACBETH. The Baltimore Times, Baltimore, Md., November 14. Carolina History Furnish Lessons. "Here are these Negroes, each born in the South, who are Negroes in this country. There are two lessons in this, one is that the success is by work; the other, that the Negro is in North Carolina is fair treated, and that the industry, if he will only pay industry and to work. The lives of Lockhart, Slade and Minor are proofs that these things are so. These Negroes have been so successful that those who do not see it are those who are afraid to take a square look-in-the-face at work, by which the lowest and the humblest man rises. One lesson is that the colored State is worth all that fair cost."—The Raleigh News and Observer. BOSTONIAN CRITICISES SYRACUSE POLITICS. I heartily votes your sentiments about the Negro and his conduct during the recent primary elections here, as I happened to be here during this campaign. I would say that this conduct is due to people by the white citizens of Syracuse, but to the lack of true inspiration on the part of those colored men who interested themselves in politics, and I am glad that the Tau Aeg has its eyes on their paper and your paper they will feel ashamed and try next time to be more conservative and prudent, for decency's sake, "as they will sooner or later learn that the world will be more man on man than principles than it will a fickle or unsteady barterer."

Little Rock Should Play Fair The City Council should pass to-light the ordinance appropriating $1,500 a year for the support of a Public Library for the support of a Book, conditional upon Andrew Carnegie giving $15,000 for a building for this purpose.

Mr Baehr will enter his new position pledged to make many new improvements which Johnson has let drag along. He says he will make them, and we believe him. Baehr will do much to improve our people, and we supposed he would. The confidence in him has not been misplaced. On the night of the election he gave out the assurance that he would not regret having supported him.

We endeavor to congratulate up to the eighth of the year, and the Baltimore Times. They got in the fight at the start and kept in it to now famous amendment should meet its Wroxhoo on Mason and Dixon line —The Norfolk Lodge Journal and Guide. The colored people are sticking to the South as they always have been and will be treated with absolute justice, are that the amendment out allowing them to infringe upon the rights of others. Of the 10,000,000 of them, 8,000,000 of them lived south of Mason and Dixon line; credited with possessing more than $500,000,000 in wealth in the States of Virginia, and surely such figures show a close sticker to the South —The Galveston City Times. The local medical association passed a resolution in their last meeting and appointed a committee to wait upon the appointment of the instructor to be appointed for the Negro schools. This movement upon the part of the medical fraternity ought to be appointed by the ministers, associations, churches, societies, and many Negro ought to whoop this question and have the board of education give us an instructor in physical culture. What will he do with the Negro teachers do about it?—The Atlanta American tiger. If there is anything on earth that has a tendency to innervate him, he must an instrument to bring to pass the seemingly impossible, it is that unhealing patriotism, backed up with the imitation of his instruments. There is not a man living who does not have a period of his life act a little differently from his ordinary manner, but that does not say that that man is not in a rational manner. There is a peculiar interest that we read of the immediate actions of Mayor Wilkle and the people of Aniston, Ala., in resenting Dr. J. W. Stagg for a freed Dr. J. W. Stagg by an uncle policeman—The Birmingham Messenger The Negroes in Missouri are congregating in the cities of that State and missing a golden opportunity in not set aside the land that would provide a dike land throughout that State. Missouri a land of plenty, and her soil will make any one independent. The Negro population of Saint Louis, Kansas City and St. Louis in excess of 100,000 would be 24 and 17,000, and caretors would do right, they would institute a vigorous campaign to induce them to go to the farm. The irregular life of the Negro in large cities is sending him early grave or he is led into idleness and crime. The Topena Plain dealer There are but a few thousand Indians in the whole United States, yet they are not a native department of our government. On the other hand, there are ten million or more Negroes in the United States, yet they are not a legislative department government. The Negro must awake and demand a change in the status of the president Hamlet in person, like she on our boasted intelligence composing as we do more than ten per cent of the population of the United States to master one single congressman, to say nothing about senatorship. The Hawaiian ans are only about half a million, yet they are native in Washington. — Richmond Reformer The new administration of the People's Loewe promises not only to continue the high standards of proficiency which we have maintained in administration, but it appears that it is making an effort to make the meetings more visually engaging, via: by devoting a few minutes to current topics before executing the regular program. This is an "innovation" to the Loewegoes. We command the ministration highly on being able to secure the services of so many distractions which was published last week. The so society is rendering the community a great service by conducting meetings of this kind, and by much light upon the local conditions, and in some few cases the society is taking the initiative to assist in lettering these documents in Columbus O' O' Saturday Evening News We were out of the city a few hours this week to the beautiful little city of Mound Bayou mingling with some of our friends at that place, and we must will be a living monument to the Negroes of Mississippi as long as Mississippi remains upon the globe.

We are in the library, the donation of Mr. Carmenle that great beneficent philanthropist, which will be a living monument to the Negroes of Mississippi that beautiful little city shall have gone to their final homes, when alba shall be erected to mark the spot where these sleeping heroes rest, nations yet unborn have known to live such men. The Clarkedale (Miss.) Herald The high school course in the Galveston town schools has been shortened—so far as it applies to Negroes. The reason is that the school district has taken advantage of this course in fall is too small to justify its retention. We think on one occasion recently there were students who were not in school. Probably there is not a city in the South that provides more ample educational facilities for its rural citizens than does the city. It would seem to indicate that thought. It would seem to indicate that here at least our interest in education is inversely proportional to the excellence that city attributes this lack of interest to several causes, chief among which are these: Failure of teachers to go among them; Failure of teachers to apply to the bigger life. Second, The two Negro banking institutions of this city are showing signs of prosperity that their most sanguine supporters had not predicted. Despite the fact that they are not the most clear to place their accounts with bankers of their own persuasion, the deposits in the Negro banks run up to thousands daily, and the Clearing House recorders and the Clearing House those banks operated by the people of other races. Some of the more thoughtless people object to placing their money with Negro bankers because they are more likely to fail. Now and then a white bank falls, and great, very great, is the failure of it; but the depositors in those wrecked institutions have such great faith in other banks as to believe that whatever is left of their banking to other banks and continue their banking business. Negroes should profit by such examples. The fewest number of Negro bankers in the city are the ones during their experimental stages, it is reasonable to suppose that they will stand the financial storm better as they grow older. Let us encourage the Negro bankers to increase the business capacity of the race.—The Nashville Clarion The Mississippi idea has hurt the white man more than it has hurt the Negro. It has made possible such representatives in the Senate as Tillman, Wardman, and Herman. It has made possible such representatives in the House. No greater affliction could come to any people than to be represented by one of these.—The Odd Fellows Journal. ANTI-NEGRO MOVEMENT FAILURE. Southern Disfranchisement has Reached its Uttermost Limits, allows Republiek Maryland's experience in trying to disfranchise the Negro voters by constitutional means seems to be conclusive in its failure, and the effort has probably been made for the last time. The defeat of the disfranchising amendment appears to have been more decisive than that of the amendment which the late United States Senator Gorman fathered a few years ago. Nor was this accomplished without a public debate covering a long period, and the most determined work by the Democratic party in favor of the measure. During the past two months the Maryland press has discussed little else than the franchise question, and eminent speakers gifted with persuasiveness and eloquence, like Senator Rayner, have urged the acceptance of the amendment upon the people. The failure to carry the scheme seems final and complete. Maryland is the first State in the South where a serious effort to eliminate the Negro from politics by constitutional means has so entirely failed after prolonged agitation, and the reason must evidently be found in the fact that the peculiar constitutional devices possible further South become impracticable in a border State where the large and important factor. Senator Rayner himself opposed the former amendment on the ground that it would discriminate against many foreign immigrants, and, notwithstanding that he was brought to support the second amendment, the fear of the immigrant section of the population seems to have been aroused again by the components of Negro disfranchisement. The only possible way to eliminate the illiterate and worthless Negro is to eliminate the same tests the illiterate and worthless white man, and if Maryland is prepared for any disfranchisement measure it must evidently be one which does not involve the white voters on grounds of race or color. The defeat of the Maryland Democratic politicians is a wholesome and courageous indication that the Southern state is utterly limited in popular favor. There was not a tooth part of the excuse in Maryland that there was in States like New York and Pennsylvania to siskip f orch a measure of discrimination, for the Maryland Negroes are in a comparatively small minority and a regime domination" could not possibly be represented there as an immunity scheme bore the stamp of partisan intrigue. it was designed to restore to the Democratic party its former undaunted position and is well disposed of by an intelligent and decisive electorate.—The Springfield Republican Learn these two things: never be disconcerted because good binge is on so low a level that it is not good that good which lies next to your band. —George MacDonald. Man awakens for himself an interest, a suspense, a hope, almost a confidence that something important is about to happen, that something is in preparation, that man is not an end, but merely an end, a bridge, a great promise. —Mortimer. L'Impartial, a journal published Port-au-Prince, Hayti, contains an count of a speech delivered by President Simon from which we have taken and freely translated some extracts His Excellency the President after attending High Mass delivered an address to the people of Port-au-Prince from the balcony of the Palace. Accompanied him were his ministers, M. M. Cane Magny and Claud. The corps durands and police were paraded before him, and afterwards the President asked that the chief of police in charge of the Cayenne station should be brought before him, and then publicly dismissed him for dereliction of duty in certain circumstances which are not detailed. The President, after explaining the necessity which existed in all well organized municipalities for a good police force, addressing the offender, said I discharge because you have not done your duty and I also intend to act in a similar manner against all those who may be like case. I intend to deal with you one with the other until I have committed the police force. That are those, I know who believe that the sufficient, for the constitution of a police force to mount a horse and through the streets of the city the head of a strong escort, force the death of houses, pay domiciliary visits to citizens in the dead of night. But that is how I view the matter. I am determined that the public shall not be subjectively useless and illegal mal-treatment with coconacauque. The police is an institute for the protection of society and the individual citizen. A body organized the one hand as a terror to the evil doer and on the other as a safeguard and protection to the good citizen. Penish you justice the culprit, but the law-abiding man must be accorded your protection. I repeat my assurance that justice and protection shall be observed and respected during my term of office. As to what will succeed me, I do not know, but you can rest assured that on the day I demit office, or if I die in this palace on the day I am lowered into the tomb one no one shall be in a position to say that I have not kept my word and promise. I intend that the press shall be free. A free press is a light and safeguard to the government. While the police are to watch and the press to be free, yet the great privilege is to be rated rationally. Some say I am too bad. Messieurs, there is nothing so good a bon bon, but there is nothing that is capable of killing with greater case than they. Messieurs, I am not come to this raised position to gratify the malice of anyone, or to serve the ambition of anyone one or to help anybody to pay off scores. Personally I have no old debt to liquidate. It is God makes the head of the State, It is He who has put here at this moment for the good of the people. I am not desirous of having thought that I am a man with good intentions only, not am I content only to make public speeches; I want to demonstrate and shall, that I am capable of working for the good of the country. I have entered the palace as an honest man and, I shall leave it as an On my arrival here I told Madame Simon to make an inventory of everything she found in the Palace, linen, napery etc., and to keep a regular account of all expenses, and I gave express instructions that a note should be kept of every time received and disbursed. Do you know why? It is this: On the day I leave this house she can render her counts so that I shall not carry away with me even the most trifling articles that does not belong to me. Before driving here I had all I needed, so I shall have no reason to take what does not belong to me. So, my friends, if I do not take for myself, I cannot authorize others to take what does not belong to them. That is logical. How can I protect the peculators who I have never shared their spoils? have never had the key of the Treasury chest nor have I ever had the opportunity of paying out a budget. I repeat Messleurs, I shall not take, I am not come to take, and I shall not condone the guilt of those who do take. The President in concluding his ad dress stated that his career to the head of the State had been marked by the good which he hoped to realize. He had not come into the Presidency to make money, he had no occasion for it. The last words were pronounced with such the veracity of conviction that the listener to a united cry of "Long to the President. Simon." - Demerara Daily Chronicle EUROPEAN CULTURE DISRUPT The native States of Northern Nigeria have lived for a thousand years isolated from the non-African world.

The African Mail Was a Misfortune to be Born a Jew in Frankfort, Germany Compelled to Live in Narrow Streets and Were Not Permitted to Walk on Sidewalks. The Act is in receipt of the following document from an out-of-town correspondent in regard to the condition of the Jews in Frankfort, Germany, in the year 1786. This is a translation from a book entitled "Literary Tendencies of the Nineteenth Century," and the description of the condition of Frankfort that this document gives is most interesting. Frankfort is a city in Germany where the Jews are strongest. The book is by George Brandez, a Danish crut. 1 The translation follows: At the time (1788), it was a misfortune to be born a Jew in Germany, for at this time Jews were nowhere in possession of the rights of citizenship. It was, however a special misfortune to be born a Jew in Frankfort on the Main. In the other large cities in Germany, the social relations between the Jews and the Genius, had, to a certain extent softened the political ostriscism to which the race was subject. The homes of the Jews, not only in Vienna, but in Berlin, because of liberal education were the centers of intellectual intercourse. Intellectual Jewesses like Rachel Levin, graceful women like Henrietta Hertz, Baroness Arnstein, Baroness Grothhums the wife of Prince Reuws, and a number of others, set the fashions, to a certain extent, in the capital cities of Prusia and Austria, but in Frankfort the barriers between the sects were drawn through every relation in life. All Jews were compelled to live in a narrow, wretched, over-populous alley, which, since 1462, fully three hundred and thirty-four years, had been their only abiding place. The contrast between the outer ugliness and inner glory of their homes, of which the romances speak, was not to be found here. In the little dark rooms there was no evidence of splendor or of taste to be found. Perhaps there was no time at which you could get a better idea of what life was here as in later years, when one side of that alley was completely torn down and the angular crowded gloomy houses were revealed, in which time had made deep holes of these houses were blinded, just as when ever the blinded, they shut themselves together. With the coming of darkness all the dwellers of the ghetto were locked up in this alley. If they went upon the day time, around the time outside of the ghetto they were not allowed to walk on the sidewalks, but only in the streets, and every passerby who called to them in the German phrase, "mach mores," they were compelled to take off their hats and make a deep bow. In order to prevent too large increase of the Jewish community, only fourteen marriages were allowed every year. Although even at that time Jews in Frankfort were well-to-do, and a Rothschild was at their head, still in all the social relations, the lines between communities of the different faiths, were strictly observed, and, even in the lodges of Free Masons, who believe in the brotherhood of man, and are devoted to the honor of the Highest Being, the societies and the different faiths minutely excluded and walled themselves up from each other As the result of a heavy rain one day, the street was full of mud; young Boerne (Ludwig Boerne, who after became one of the popular revolutionary leaders in Germany), was taking a walk with his tutor outside the ghetto of Frankfort "Let us go over to the sidewalk," said the boy "Don't you know," replied the teacher, "that the sidewalk is forbidden?" The boy replied, "There is no one there to see us." This gave the teacher the chance to give him a moral lesson, the same including some words upon the holiness of law. If there were public festivities of any kind the Jews were not allowed to be present, not even when there was a balloon ascension At every public function, for instance, when the city, in consequence of entrance of some princely personality, had been decorated the Jews were shut up in their alley. When at the time of the coronation, the Kaiser Leopold II, some few of the more distinguished Jews ventured outside the ghetto, they were arrested and brought into the police court The entrance to most of the hotels and to all public places, was forbidden to them as a general rule. In regard to the entrance to the city, it might be said. Wherever there was a green place there must he no Jews. On Sundays the ghetto of the Jews' alley was closed at 4 o'clock in the after noon, and only those were given per mission pass, who had a letter to carry or were going to the apothecary shop for medicine. There was always a watch placed at the entrance of this alleyway. In the year 1806, the triumphant march of Napoleon brought about a complete revolution in the political conditions in Beerne's paternal city, Frankfort. In the year 1806, Dahlberg, as a French Prince Primate of the new established Rheinbund, took possession of Frankfort. Among the first measures which he undertook to carry out were substantial improvements in the situation of the Jews. Later, Napoleon, in his order of 1810, commanded the complete lifting of all burdens which at that time pressed the serf and the Jews. In December of the year 1811, the Jewish community in Frankfort, in retaliation for a sum of $440,000 gulden, paid in the previous year, received all the rights of citizenship. For Beerne the first result was that he gave up his taste for the study of medicine, and went over R. E. P. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS Between October 20th and 27th local leagues were organized in North Carolina in the following places: Windsor, Winton, Tarboro, Rocky Mount, and a State Negro Business League at Raleigh, the capital Lewis Thoms, a farmer who lives in East Monroe Township, Monroe, N. C., says that he picked this fall 1,637 pounds of cotton from one acre and three rows of measured land. Being a hard worker and doing his part in the world of work, he enjoys the reputation of making good crops in his neighborhood. During the recent Colored Fair held in Raleigh, N.C. October 25th to 30th, there were three farmers who made exhibits that deserve special mention. The first one is Fletcher Lockhart, who is regarded as one of Wake County's most prosperous truck growers. He was born a slave in 1854. When freedom came he was all alone in the world, as both father and mother were dead. He worked on a cotton farm until: 1873 Then with no money in hand and with seventy-five cents borrowed to buy a wedding shirt, struck out with his wife to get ahead. For the first year the two worked for wages and cleared $65. The second year Lockhart leased for five years, a plantation of one hundred acres east of Raleigh. When his lease expired, he bought the place at an average price of $22 an acre. This put the cost of the farm at $2,200, which he gradually paid off from his crop money. The place is now owned by 1000. He only made money, but he has also well educated his four children. His farm is a model, for on it are crops of cotton, corn, wheat, oats, and a long list of truck products. His display of agricultural products in almost every line, was a sight worth seeing. Furthermore, he was justly awarded by the committee one ($100) hundred dollars, the first prize, given by the Industrial Association for the best exhibit in this department. The second case is that of S. M. R. Slade of Work Creek Township, Wake County, who owns a farm of seventy-five acres, worth about $2500. He was born in Caswell County in 1867 His father, together with the other slaves, were driven off the farm a year after the War and went to Alamance County, with nothing, where the whole family toiled hard, working the soil at first with hoes, as they owned no horse. Soon young Slade decided to own some land, so he bought two and one-half acres for which he paid $56 of the money he had saved. Later he bought four acres more, after making a $258 crop of tobacco the first year on what had been termed, "an old field". He then Burlington ten years and sold his six acres for $500 and told that this same tract of land is worth at least $7,000. In 1898 he went to Raleigh and paid $265 for seventy-five acres of land. on this farm Slade has prospered. The exhibit farm his farm, showing in one hundred fifty different articles: cotton, tobacco, wheat, grains, vegetables, preserves, pickles flour and a whole lot of other things. The second prize of fifty dollars for the next best display, was awarded him. The third farmer was Levi Minor, who took the first and second ribbons on corn at the Fair. His farm in Saint Mary's Township, where he owns three hundred acres of land, some fifty acres being under cultivation. Having saved some money, about five years ago, he bought a farm for $1,000. On this he paid $600 in three payments of two hundred dollars each. Some time ago he sold $1,080 worth of timber from sixty acres, this amount paying off his indebtedness and leaving him a comfortable balance in cash on hand. The prizes he won on corn shows that he knows how to farm and how to farm right. Here are four object lessons. each a success and each a land owner. Is there anything "worth while" in the lives of the above-mentioned characters? Mm. George Hall Entertaina. CHICAGO. Ill., November 16—One of the most brilliant of the French-Phillips prenuptial affair* was the dance for seventy-five young people given by Mrs George Cleveland Hall Monday evening, George 8, at Frederick Douglass Centre in honor of Miss Edna Martha French. The dance was given to the debutante set of which Miss French is to be the first bride. The hall was decorated with red and white hearts, 1,000 being used in the decoration. These were afterwards given as souvenirs. A reception preceded the dance, Mrs Hall receiving with the bridal party, consisting of Miss French, exquisitely gowned in pale pink messaline, Misses Ethel McWilce, Edith Madden, Hewitt Barnett, Messrs G H Phillips, Jasper Phillips, E J Dickerson, F L Barnett Among the out-of-town guests were Mrs C H Phillips and Miss L F. Phillips, of Nashville, Tenn. mother and sister of the groom, and Mrs L A Assues of Seattle Graves of White A group of young matrons presided at the punch bowls and assisted Mrs. Hall in entertaining. The dance closed the numerous betrothed festivities which had given Chicago a season of unusual social gaiety, the wedding following two evenings later HAMILTON LODGE CASE. Attorney for James E. Taylor Makes Statement Giving Side of Controversy. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE, Our attention is called to a paragraph in your paper headed "Court of Appeals Sustains Hamilton Lodge," which, apparently, contains some misstatements which we desire to correct which An action was brought by us in behalf of James F. Taylor against Hamilton Lodge No 710 O F, and four of its most prominent members, for an assault committed upon Mr Taylor injecting him from a meeting of the lodge, and resulted in a verdict for $700 against the lodge and the members sued. An appeal was thereupon taken in behalf of all of the defendants to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, where the judgment was reversed and the complaint dismissed as against the Lodge, and modified in amount to $400 as against the other defendants and as against them affirmed as to that amount. We have no doubt that you will correct your publication in accordance with the facts, which can be verified by the records of the Appellate Court. Yours very truly, Moses H. Grossman. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN HONQR REV. W. B. JOHNSON. Young Business Men of Birmingham Present Pastor With License. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. November 15—Rev. W. E. Johnson, pastor of St. John's A M E Church was the recipient of a signal and very touching honor several days ago on the part of the business young men who attend the church, some of whom are members and others who have been in constant at tendance because of the great drawing power for good of this much esteemed pastor. This was the last Sunday Rev Johnson preached before attending conference which convenes at Huntsville, Ala. In view of the fact that Rev. Johnson might be sent elsewhere, the young men decided to present him with a very fine combination suit-case, which was done by a committee before the whole congregation, numbering about five hundred, and immediately thereafter the whole church body arose in mass and voted unanimously their confidence in him and their special desire that he return to them for another four years' work. Dr Johnson is conceded to be one of the most eloquent and hard-working ministers located in this section and his work at St. John's has been of such a nature that the congregation is one of the largest and most enthusiastic in the city. St. John's may consider itself very fortunate indeed if he is returned and the community as a whole will be much helped if the bishop and conference can see their way clear to return him. The presentation of the case was made as follows: As visiting friends and members of St. John's A. M. E. Church we feel very much interested in its pastor who has given to us for the past four years such good and faithful service. His Christian influence and unclouded fame have won the confidence of the many visiting friends and members. We can see in this true Christian hero another happy, successful and prosperous four years at St. Johns. In view of the fact that he is about to make his departure for the annual conference at Huntsville, Ala., we find it incumbent on our part along with our best wishes for a new trip, to present him as a token of our great appreciation of his good work this suitcase and to us where he is looked up and loved by all. Thos who had charge of the presentation were Prof. Lewis, Messrs. Jerry Reed, E. E. Alford, John Reed, Frank P. Walker, Jeff Mosley, A B Mosby Ernst Ensley, Wm. A Plerce, Lucius Wilson, Augustus Bennings, F. Speas, J O. Diffay, Wm Stewart, S E. Tram mell, E W Routens W B. Foster, James Taylor and E H Holland Utcana Annual Huaking Bee.

Mrs. Walter Bradley and Miss John Smith were central figures which added to the success of the occasion. By request of Mrs. Pothorn, many of the old southern plantation songs, was sung led by Mr Bradley, Mrs Pettiborn, Mrs Anderson, Mrs Green and others. Mr Bradley gave vegetables to all present as souvenirs to take home. The conductor of the trolley car, was powerless, so he had to let all carry their cabbage, turnips, pumpkins and apples. At 2 o'clock Saturday a goodly number of the girls attended the Kitchen Garden held in the Chapel, presided over by Mrs J R. Scranton and Mrs M. J Strother This Kitchen Garden is destined to form into an Industrial School for colored children The Salvation Army has one and is doing well. Some of the leading people in this city have spoken to the pastor about it and have promised their aid Girls are now taught how to keep house, cut and sew, and how to cook. A department for the boy will soon be inaugurated. The Sunday School was largely attended. After the sermon in the evening Dr Strother baptized the infant son of Mr and Mrs Kullon and the infant daughter of Mr and Mrs Edward Walker Mrs Richardson, of Katherine street, who has been very ill, is at this writing improving. Last Thursday week, Rev. R. J. Strother was admitted into Hiram Lodge, No 18 of Free and Ancient Masonry. Stime-Russell Nepticals Dr. G. H.

The guests were also entertained with charming music rendered by Misses Alice Powell and Sarah Cochrane and Edgar Bailey. In fact, there was never any lack of musical entertainment, as there were four other excellent musicians among those invited. At half-past eleven the guests repaired to the dining-room, where a delightful halloween feast was served. The table was beautifully decorated in colors intended to the occasion, yellow and black. Yellow catin ribbon, strung with small black cattail wittches was hung from the center of the chandelier to each corner of the table. A large wooo shung from the center. Here and there in the room were placed pumpkin lanterns, which afforded the only light. The soft yellow glow of the candles on the light evening dresses of the guests was very effective. Those present were Messrs Edgar Bailey, Arthur Williams, Eddie Smith, Anton Rody, George Busn. of New York, Chas Galand, of Bayonne, N.J; Horace Hopkins, of Philadelphia, Walter Shepard, of Jamaica, L.I., also Messrs Seth Cochrane, Albertus Morse, Jesse Smith, John Bailey, Frank and Percy Powell of Brooklyn, Walter Hobson of New York, and the Misses Powell, Jamie Dillon, Miss West, Flosse Marshall, Amelia Howard, Grace Parker, Nellie Adkins, Margaret Boone, Sarah Cochrane, Mrs Powell and Mrs Adkins.

To be known as Colored Commercial Organisation of Chicago—Phillips-Pennington Regular Correspondence of TN Aon. "CHICAGO, Ill., November 16.—As an evidence that Chicago, like all other Negro communities, is wide awake to the formation of new organizations, there has recently come into being a club under the high sounding title of Colored Commercial Organization of Chicago. Its determination is not to stop short of activities of the stock exchange or the board of trade The officers behind this new movement are Robert R. Jackson, president; Morris Lewis, recording secretary, and Noah D. Thompson, corresponding secretary. The other officers are J. B. Street, J. J. Smith and F. W. Waterfield. Dr. George A. Lewis, a graduate of the Medical Department of Howard University, Washington, D.C., and who for several years was one of the most prominent and successful physicians of El Paso, Tex., has come to Chicago to make it his permanent home. He has a charming wife and three interesting children in whose behalf he gave up a lucrative practice in the south in order that they might enjoy the superior school privileges of the North. Dr. Booker T. Washington passed through Chicago recently from Denver and Omaha, where he delivered lectures in behalf of the Young Men's Christian Association of these cities, respectively. Dr. Washington declared that the people throughout the West, and in other parts of the country, are becoming quite enthusiastic over the prospect of a proposed exhibition to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Emancipation. The most important and interesting social event that has occurred in Chicago for a long time was the recent marriage on November 10, of Miss Edna Martha French, the winsome daughter of Mr. and Mrs J B French, of Racine, Wis. but formerly prominent residents of Chicago. The groom was Dr. Charles H. Phillips, Jr., of Nashville, Tenn, and the oldest son of the well known Bishop G. H. Phillips, also of Nashville, Tenn. The scene of the wedding ceremony was the auditorium of Grace Presbyterian church. The marriage ceremony was beautiful, chaste and quietly dramatic in every detail. Bishop Phillips, the father of the groom, and Rev. Moses Jackson, of Grace church, jointly performed the ceremony most impressively. The young bride made a beautiful and charming picture as she slowly advanced in the altar gracefully gowned in an artistic creation of white messeline satin on train covered with a tulle bridal veil, carrying a shower bouquet of white bees and lily of the valley. The bridesmaids, Miss Blink Madden and Miss Rose, They wore white silk square of white roses. The matron of honor was the recent beautiful bride of Albert Barnett of this city. She wore a lovely costume of pale blue satin. The groom wore the conventional evening suit and was attended by his brothers, from Nashville, Tenn. Immediately preceding the entrance of the bridal party in the church, the young sister of the groom, Lady Belle Phillips, sang in a charming manner two beautiful and appropriate love idyls.

Large Audience Listens to Practical Regular Correspondence of TUB AGK. PITTSBURG, Pa. November 16—A representative audience of our best people heard a practical lecture at Ebenezer Baptist Church last Tuesday from Fred R. Moore, publisher of THE NEW YORK AGE and of the Colored American Magazine. Pittsburg has the name of being one of the worst cities in the country for lectures, people have often said Pittsburgers are too busy with social pleasures to stop long enough to listen to lectures, but in the coming and entertainment of Mr. Moore this charge was not sustained. People from all directions and denominations assemble and were loud in saying one-third of audience would put into practice the policy urged by the speaker, our condition here would be much improved. While Mr. Moore has a powerful voice that many orators would be pleased to possess, he makes no pretense at oratory, but enters into his subject from the beginning in a manner that holds the attention of his hearers to the end. He is intensely interested in building up the race, and believes this is to be done by life and a better representation in business, the speech of which was directed at this part of our own life. At the close of the speech people crowded around the speaker anxious to shake as hndu. Attorney W. H. Stanton, president of the Loendi Club, and other citizens escorted Mr. Moore from the church to the club, where he met prominent members of the association, after which the party had supper at the Brighton Cafe. After supper, Mr Moore was escorted back to the Loendi Club where he spent a pleasant night's rest. After breakfast the next morning at the Brighton Cafe, some time was spent in visiting the tailor shop of J. A Lipscomb, the news-stand of Thos H Harrison, and others business places. Through the courtesy of Mr J T Writt, our leading caterer, luncheon was served at his place, 209 Fourth avenue. The party was composed of Mr and Mr J. T. Writt, Miss Margaret Goins, and Rev Richard D. Stimson, vice-president and commissioner of Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga Courtesies were also received from Attorney Wm H Stanton, from whose office, in company with Mr W Nelson Page, Mr Moore went on inspection of the Carnegie Steel Works, Mr Page is one of the city's most representative young men and is said to hold a position at the Carnegie Steel Works second to none held by another man of the race in the city. Luncheon was served at the home of Capt and Mrs C W Posey Home-tead after which the Captain, his son, and Mr Page enjoyed a thirty-five mile ride in their large automobile with the distinguished visitor Captain Posey is traffic manager of the Diamond Coal and Coke Co. he has 1,500 men under him and is said to be the wealthiest man here. Of preachers who collect money from the mages for missionary work and pocket it, coupled with those who depend home and do other things detrimental to our best interest will find in him a just as bitter as the good preacher will find in him a true friend he gives expression to these thoughts as forced in private conversation as he dubs in public speeches. He does not expect perfect men, but says preachers and doctors should be men of such a high Christian character that men may call them into their homes when needed with assurance. Mr Moore proved himself a friend and no enemy to Negro preachers. He said that they were inviting protectors and not destroyers of their firesides, he believes doctors as well as preachers should be married to and satisfied with one wife. A M in the following morning in company with a committee of the N A P A, on whose invitation the visit was made, the speaker left the city for his home. Rev W L. Lee pastor John Wesley A M E. Zon Church preached his fare well sermon last Sunday night, prior to an extended trip South in the interests of his church Rev Lee is serving his second year here as pastor of the second largest church The Reverend spoke from the subject, "The Danger of Underestimating Sim," after speaking at length of the downfall of nations by reason of this practice, Rev Lee made the practical application of how the Church is losing its power by reason of so many church members being guilty of William McCoy, one of the oldest citizens here, died last week; the funeral was held at Euclid Avenue Church.
