taught in Calre Lynching Commended By All Sections RIFF LOSES Reinstalment for Allowab to Lynch Two Prisoners November 11th. Roadside Counter Journal Says Law Which Must About Removal of Sheriff Davis a New Bus. Scheduled for the New York Ann. Springfield, Ill., Dec. 14—Governor Denver's action in denying the petition of Friar K. Davis for reinstatement as sheriff of Alexander County and his enabling demotion of mob law has caused general satisfaction throughout the State. The press, North and South, also highly commends the stand taken by the Illinois executive. It was Sheriff Davis from whom the mob took William James, a Negro, and Henry Saliner, white, on the night of November 11 and lynched them. Governor Deneen holds that as sheriff Davis did not do all in his power to protect the prisoners. In denying the petition of Davis for reinstatement Governor Deneen said: "Mol violence has no place in Illinois. It is denounced in every line of the constitution and in every statute. Instead of breeding respect for law, it breeds contempt. The law may be severe; whether severe or not it must be enforced." Especially gratifying is the decision to the Negroes of Illinois, whose leaders or Chicago addressed a protest to the governor against the proposed and earnest effort for reinstatement. Their able protest ran as follows: The undersigned, a committee of citizens of Chicago, respectfully represent their valuable information in our work. tent to show that the petition should be denied. In support of this contention we submit charges and specifications as follows: That the sheriff, in permitting the prisoner to be taken from his custody and hanged, shot and burned in the public street, was guilty of gross and wilful neglect of duty; that the prisoner was in safe and secure custody in the jail at Cairo where he could have been protected by the Cairo police force, by citizens appointed as special deputies and by two Cairo military companies which could have been called out by the governor upon request by telephone, that the sheriff took the prisoner from safe custody at 3 o'clock in the afternoon upon a trail about twenty miles in the county and kept him in the county without protection nearly twenty-four hours when he could have escaped him to a safe jail by train or wagon, that the sheriff was at or near Carnack several hours before the arrival of a train at 2 Clock, but refused a neglected to be that train and convey his prisoner safe quarters, but waited until 3 locks for the arrival of a train bring a mob; that the sheriff made no reface to the mob, but delivered his peer without other than a polite prosecute but the sheriff in permitting the prisoner to be taken from the jail and be hanged and shot to death was guilty of gross and wilful negl of duty. The protest also charge that the sheriff knew that a mob was being called through mephagone in front of the police nation with the allowed purpose of attaching the jail thirty hours before Salazar was lynched, and that, so warned, the sheriff failed to add to his own force or call upon the Governor for assistance; that, knowing the threats and demonstrations against the jail, the sheriff left the city with one prisoner, leaving the jail protected by only one guard; that the sheriff and his guards on duty inside the jail aided the mob to break into the jail, and no member of the mob was injured, that many members of the mob are well known, but the sheriff instituted no proceedings to secure the arrest and punishment and that by his neglect and wilful refusal to perform his duty the sheriff denied to his prison, the right of a trial by jury. ... The prisoner was a hard-working, in dustrious man, had never been charged with a crime and had not been allowed to meet any charge under court in court. No person charged that he was at the place the night the crime was committed, no one charged that he knew the victim of the murder. He was arrested, imprisoned, not hanged and burned upon the uncleroborated testimony of a dog. He was denied a jit when the sheriff delivered him to the mob to be killed. The prisoner Salzner was charged with murder. He was in custody of the law. He was entitled to a trial by jury. Willfully neglecting and refusing to properly guard the jail on the inside, the sheriff enabled the mob to take Salzner from prison and put him to death and to deny him trial by jury and due process of law. Dr George C. Hall, chairman, William G Anderson, secretary, L. B Anderson, F. L. Barnett, I. C. Harris, Rev A. J. Carey, Rev. J T Jenifer and Rev. W. M. Gray. Among the Southern papers to praise Governor Deneen on his stand against mob law is the Louisville Courier-Journal, which recently said: "Govenor Deneen evidently has taken pains to get at all the facts in the case. The former sheriff has had opportunity to plead his own cause and has failed to make such a showing as was convincing to the Governor. The newspaper accounts of the lynching were more favorable to the sheriff than he deserved, and the Executive, in digging deeper than the surface reports, has found ample cause for enforcing the statue which requires the sheriff's removal and for the refusal to reinstate. "The example will be a salutary one in the event of future attempts at lynching in Illinois. With the prospect of losing their offices as an incitement, sheriffs will take more effective steps for the protection of their prisoners. Mr. Davis' removal is the first that has been made under the law, which is of recent enactment. It is a good law, and will have an influence toward lessening the frequency of mob violence."

Dec 14—A set of young progressive Negroes of Boston seem to have become thoroughly awakened up to the fact that in order for the race to succeed they must put themselves in line with the progressive movements in the day and not depend upon merger or mergers, cursings and faultfinding. A company has recently been organized composed of the following: Philip Allston, Basal F Hutchins, J. Edward Stephens, John R Townes, Gw W Broome, Peter Walther and Claude Alexander for the purpose of showing how moving pictures the advance of the Negro race in education, manufacture, commerce and science The organization seems to be meeting with success. Tries to Shoot Defendant on Witness Stand. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 14—A sensational attempt was made one day last week to shoot John Woodson, a Negro, who was on trial in the first division of the criminal court on a charge of attempted criminal assault on the wife of a woman Woodson was on the stand in his testimony so aroused the husband that he jumped from his seat and drew his pistol. The Negro saw the tree and cried that he was going to be shot. The jury was badly frightened and it was said several members jumped entirely out of the jury box. Defenses Chew and Tomlin disarmed the rate man and the trial was resumed. OPENS OCTOBER NEXT Movement Inaugurated at Recent Session of North Mississippi Conference, held at Mound Bayou. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE MOUND BAYOU, Miss., Dec. 14. What is regarded as a movement of far-reaching significance and richly laden with possibilities for the future good of the Negro race in Mississippi has been inaugurated by the North Mississippi Annual A. M. E. Conference, under the leadership of Bishop Edward W. Lampton, it being decided at the recent session of the conference, held in this city, that an agricultural and industrial branch of Campbell College be located on the Campbell College land. An executive board, consisting of Bishop E. W. Lampton, president; Rev. John Jones, first vice president; Rev. S. P. Felder, second vice president; Isaiah $^{47}$ F. Montgomery, secretary, and Chas. Banks, treasurer, has been appointed to manage the affairs of the branch institution and take necessary steps to provide buildings for opening by October, 1910. This action by the conference brings into interesting review important pioneer work reaching back nearly twenty years into the past, when Rev. Dr. Thomas W. Stringer and other fathers of the conference secured the establishment of a theological and educational institution as a memorial to Bishop Jabez Pitt Campbell. The parent school is now in active operation at Jackson, the capital of this state, where there six acres of land, two brick dormitories and buildings valued at over $50,000. It is supported by district funds provided by law of the general conference, also by special provisions of the five annual conferences of the state. About the year 1801 the following parties formulated a petition to the owners of the Louisiana and New Orleans and Thomas W. Stringer, James Hill, Edward W. Lampton, W. T. Anderson, Wm. H. Allen and Isaiah T. Montgomery and others. The petition was forwarded to the Memphis office, presided over by Vice President J. E. Edwards and Major Geo W. McGinnis, land commissioner. Nothing further was heard of the matter till some months afterwards. Mr Huntington was on one of his annual tours over the system, when one day the veteran Capt. A A Sharp, division superintendent, sent an engine ahead to notify the writer that Mr Huntington wished him to come aboard his special. There were a number of others accompanying him, and considerable time was expended in giving information about the Delta and its people, but about an hour before the train reached Memphis Mr Huntington settled down into a long and earnest conversation, during which he inquired specifically about the character, stability and qualifications of the African Methodist Episcopal connection and as to their capacity for developing an educational institution At the closing of the interview he said, "That himself and associates had considered the petition, and his partners thought a section of land (619 acres) was a sufficient donation. He thought, however, that the petitioners ought to have 1,000 acres, and that the excess might be charged to him, if the others did not care to participate. He directed that 1,000 acres be selected to the best advantage and plat sent to the Memphis office, resulting in a warranty deed being executed for a nominal consideration of ten dollars, conveying to T W Stranger W F Dangerfield, J A Carew, W J B Snowden, W T Anderson, W H Rewinden, J C Cartwright, Adam Jackson, W Ellison, O A Douglass, John Jones, E W Lampton, J G Thompson, A Davis, A H. Bennett and Thos Richardson, trustees of J P Campbell College and their successors in office, 1,032 acres of land lying in a square body situated two miles east of the town of Mound Bayou. About 60 per cent of this land is now being opened up on long term leases, under which the leseses provide improvements; 25 per cent is already in a fair state of cultivation and at the close of the year 1010 the leased lands will begin reverting to the school. The establishment of the agricultural and industrial branch will greatly conserve proper development and maintenance of the land and afford besides invaluable instruction for the uplift of the agricultural and industrial masses locally and throughout the state at large. Lynching Provokes Legal Discussion Special to The New York Ace Louisville, KO, Dec 13—Whether the extraordinary and violent attendant circumstances of the trial and sentencing to death at Williamstown, KV, last Tuesday of the Negro, Earl Thompson, will serve to make the entire proceedings illegal has been a subject for discussion in Kentucky. A mob which had met Thompson at the train when he was brought back from Lexington to answer a charge of criminal assault virtually exacted a promise from Circuit Judge Cammack READ THE NEW YORK AGE A National Weekly of Large Circulation Appears on the news stands of Greater New York every Thursday Delivered to any address upon application Is the LEADING ADVERTISING MEDIUM of its kind that he would sentence Thompson to hang within thirty days and keep him meanwhile in the Winston town jail. Cammack delivered the plea from the steps. Within the confinement previously, Thompson had been tried and found guilty, while a man overran the court chamber and a member of it lunged at the negro with a knife. Thompson entered a prison plea of not guilty. It was after his death sentence and when the sheer had rushed Thompson into the jail through a rear way that the mob surreptitiously and was quieted only when Judeh. Cammack made them his pledge, under he fixed the day of expiration on January 7, 1910. REPUBLICANS WIN FACTORY Negroes Will Not Be Withdrawnched in Oklahoma-Supreme Court Decides Against Tayler Bill. Special to THE NEW YORK TIMES GUTHRIE, Okla., Dec. 24—In their attempt to pass a bill at the last session of the legislature which was designed to eliminate the Negro from politics in this state, the Democrats required what is said to be a deathblow last week when the Supreme Court took action in the matter which was enthroned in favor of the Republicans. Upon application of the Republican State Committee, the State Supreme Court granted a writ of damamus, ordering that a referendum be voted on the Taylor election bill which passed a short time ago by the Oklahoma Legislature to disfranchise the Negro voters. The Democrats, realizing the defeat of the measure if submitted to the voters for settlement, have sought hard to keep the bill from going before the people, although the required number of petitioners had been obtained. The Republican organization in the state was equally as active in having the Supreme Court order an election in the measure, and finally won out. Politicians of both parties now predict that the bill will never become a law, and that unless repealed its defeat at the polls is assured by no less than thirty thousand majority. The credit for this sentidl victory belongs to the Republican State Committee under Chairman Norris. The committee has worked hard to bring about the defeat of the bill. The Negroes of the state also played a prominent part. Archie V. Jones of Mississippi, the only Negro member of the State Central Committee, was early on the scene after the passage of the bill and has worked along with the other committeeemen faithfully and fearlessly for its defeat. His sound judgment and ability to keep his own people in the best shape. Muskegee Negro Organize Bills Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 14—Owing to the inability of the Negroes of Muskogee and other towns in the state to secure reasonable loans and terms on real estate securities located in colored communities, a $50,000 corporation, to be known as the Home Building and Loan Association of Muskogee, has been formed. The incorporators who are well known Negries, are A. E. Patterson, J E Johnson, J H Escoe, J R. Mayne, Louis T Brown, C D Yancey, W S. Brown, George P Johnson, R H. Waterford, I F Fue, George W Davis and J H Lilley. The objects of this organization are to furnish convenient, safe and profitable method of investing, even the smallest savings of working people and others, to furnish members of the race who wish to borrow money for any purpose whatever, and who prefer to repay in small installments, rather than in one bulk sum at a specified time, the means to do so at a reasonable rate of interest; to assist the working classes of our race to become independent by becoming home owners, and to assist them to make saving a habit by helping them to save. SAME OLD STORY. Turns Out That Negro Was Not Gullity of Murder Charger. Savannah, Ga, Dec. 14 — After sending throughout the country the report that a Negro was the murderer of two white women, it has developed that the charges are untrue and that a white man committed the crime. When Mrs. Eliza Gribble and daughter, Mrs. Carrie Ohlander, were found badly battered by some blunt instrument, presumably an axe, it was thought that both were dead. However, Mrs. Gribble regained consciousness. As is the custom in this part of the country, a Negro was arrested and charged with the crime, and threats of lynching were heard on all sides. When Mrs. Gribble was able to speak she informed the authorities that her husband had committed the deed, and that no Negro was guilty. ```markdown ``` CHIEF EDWARD E.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 18.—There is important discussion regarding the appropriation in this city at present. The officials, as usual, are seeking to examine the eyes of the citizens away from the important matters to those of persecution and injury. Some time various members of the board of commission, white and colored, underwent a censure for the 'condition of appropriation measures as they passed' through Congress, and Representative Olcott of New York spoke publicly concerning the discrepancy between the appropriations for white and black schools. Congress is about to new Tennessee law a New citizens of Washington of recent foresight to urge upon the protective body reparation and rebate for the injury sustained by the Negro population for the year ending June 18, 1918. But there is another decision which is clearly disclosed by the following analysis of the situation. After the year ending June 30, 1911, the Board of Education estimated appro- rations amounting to $1,559,630 for white schools and for colored schools $1,000 or twenty-eight per cent of the $163,183,183. The per cent state state government with the per percent of Negro population of the dis- tributed by the police census for 1910, and it must be remembered that the police census has invariably under- estimated the Negro population of the capital. The Board of Commissioners released the estimate of appropriations $1,000 or twenty-eight per cent of central schools to $38,000 or fourteen percent of the total. Such a per cent of production cannot be explained away. It must stand, altogether inequitable, or altered in the United States Senate before the district committee of that half of which Hon. Jacob Harriman will probably receive the bill on December 17 or and immediately act upon it. last year the Negro schools of the district only received four per cent. of total appropriation. Congress has authorized existence of a Ward amounting to only one-third of the total by its providing for the appointment of three Negro members on the board of education out of nine. It seems that the district that should hardly be feasible adjustment after last year's initial appropriation. if the colored schools received forty per cent. of the instead of fourteen per cent. of the district branch of this year before the issue of Representatives: and superintendent of the elementary grade over seven classes in the elementary grade over seven classes are now taught upon a half-day basis where there are neither permanent nor portable buildings enough to accommodate these children; they are colored and adequately equipped manual training center, in spite of the great need for hand as well as foot training; and the National Training School—a high school—and the M Street High School are very greatly overcrowded to the great injury of the students and that its congestion grows worse each year; that the normal school, which trains all the teachers in the elementary school, is at present and consequently all the teachers of the at majority of colored children of Washington, is at present and of elementary school buildings to theive embarrassment of its important work; that some of the teachers, for example, the displaced wood-structures at Fort Slocum, Main Ridge road, Ivy City, Seneca Falls, and use my great endeavors at the upper time to urge the commit- to make provision so that a superintendent is appropriated for the white schools. ... The decrease in the estimate for colored schools this year is solely attributable to a neglect on the part of the commissioners to properly apportion their report to the respondents they seemed entirely unaware of any intentional injury to the colored schools or that any injury had been done by them. The Board of Education) on the other hand, from Capt. O. G. McCormick and keenly insistent that the colored schools be awarded at least twenty-eight per cent of the appropriation, which is analogous to the per cent. of Negro population furnished by the police center, to the per cent. of the specification of the matter will be when the appropriation comes up to Senator Gallinger's committee from the sub-committee of the House in charge of such matters of which Hon. Washington is responsible. This it is expected, will be about Saturday, December 18. Much depends upon the New York delegation in Congress on this matter. If they stand firm, it is possible that the Washington colored schools may receive an additional amount to one-third of the total. Hon. John Durham, former U.

LOWELL PRESENTS WASHINGTON "A human society, and especially a modern society, is a vast and complicated thing. Yet just after our civil war the problem confronting us seemed comparatively simple. We realized that all men are free and equal with a right to choose their own ideas which took root before the French revolution and which were dominant before our own war are not the dominating ideas of mankind. We have tried many formulas. Economic formulas have not brought economic peace. We have come to realize that the world is a far more complicated thing than we had believed, and we have learned to understand it. We have learned that the world not literally but morally, for we have learned that our task is more difficult than we believed. "But whatever we may think of the manifold aspects of the problem we may feel that there is one man who is on the right track in his work for the raising of the self-respect of and the attaining of moral betterment for a man, and that he is only for what he has done for his own race, but for what he has done in facing one of the greatest problems before us today. I now present to you a great educator, a great race leader, a great citizen." Mr. Washington spoke not only of the progress of our work at Tuskegee, but that is being done elsewhere in the South in the way of industrial education in supporting the advance of the colored people, but of the progress of every kind of education, in bringing about a better understanding between white men and black men. He said that the educated Negro of today is not educated, that the white man is only that the sober citizen attending to his business and working out his individual problems which confront him. Mr. Washington spoke with ophthalmia of the general progress of the race, and showed by significant statistics that the South had the highest rate of the South, that in the matter of industry the Negro is no longer standing still, but becoming a commercial factor in every state in the South, and that there has been advancement in education in the South. Mr. McLaurin of Technology and William H Lewis, assistant U. S district attorney, also were seated with Mr. Washington on the platform of the Washington and 400 people in audience of between us and 400 people at the Hotel Vendome Thursday afternoon under the auspices of the Robt. Gould Shaw House. The object of the meeting was to raise money to help defy the expenses of the social settlement primarily for colored people, there being a population of about 6,000 colored people in and around such an artist here.

C., Dec. 15 — There is important discussion regarding the ol situation in this city at present, radicals, as usual, are seeking to the eyes of the citizens away from important matters to those of peril derogation and injury Some time various members of the board ofation, white and colored, underwent were censured for the condition of appropriation measures as they used through Congress, and Repreative Olecott of New York spoke singly concerning the discrepancy between the appropriations for white and red schools. Congress is about to be a new appropriation. There are a Negro citizens of Washington oficient foresight to urge upon the slative body reparation and rebate the injury sustained by the Negroools through the smallness of the ropiration for the year ending June 1910. But there is another matter atonse depth issuing at present which only disclosed by the following analy- of the situation. or the year ending June 30, 1911, the bard of Education estimated appro- sions amounting to $1,558,630 for teachings and for colored schools $8,000 or twenty-eight per cent of the bard $1,633,130. The per cent, as stat- is in exact accordance with the per- t of Negro population of the dis- firmed by the police census for 0, and it must be remembered that police census has invariably undermated the Negro population of the total. The Board of Commissioners reased the estimate of appropriations white schools to $311,000 and for fried schools to $38,000 or fourteen cent of the total. Such a per cent reduction cannot be explained away must stand, altogether inequitable, or altered in the United States Senate are the district committee of that of which Hon. Jacob H. Gallinger chairman. The committee will proby receive the bill on December 17 or and immediately act upon it. last year the Negro schools of the city only received four per cent of total appropriation Congress has organized the existence of a Negro institution in Washington amounting to only one third of the total by its progrig members on the board of educa- out of time. It seems to the vigil- citizens here that it would hardly be equitable adjustment after last year's all appropriation if the coloredools received forty per cent of the al instead of fourteen per cent. Representative Olcott of New Yorkd in March of this year before the use of Representatives: more casual and superficial inspection of the facts make it clear that the colored public schools lear that the colored public schools of the D.C. district of Columbia meet need of appropriations for buildings and grow the eleven classes above the second grade are now being taught upon a half-day basis unavoidable violation of the law, because there are neither permanent nor portable buildings enough to accommodate these children, that the colored elementary schools have not one adequately trained teacher, in spite of great need for hand as well as bad training, that the Armstrong annual Training School—a high school—and the M Street High school are very greatly overcrowded, to the great injury of their instruction and training and that is concession grows ores and coal from the high school, which trains all the teachers in the lored elementary schools and subsequently all the teachers of the at majority of colored children of washington, is at present luduously housed in parts of two elementary school buildings to the ave embarrassment of the student work, that one of the example the dilanced wood- structures at Fort Slocum, Salin Ridge road, Ivy City, Beng road and Blirney annex. I will use my guest endeavors at the upper time to urge the committee to make preparations that a top official appropriated for the colored schools as well as for the white schools. The decrease in the estimate for colored schools this year is solely attributable to a neglect on the part of the commissioners to properly apportion their report. When approached by THE AGE correspondent they seemed entirely unaware of any intentional injury to the colored schools or that any injury had been done by them. The Board of Education, in the other hand, from Capt James O'Dower down, is unanimously and keenly insistent that the colored schools be awarded at least twenty-eight per cent of the appropriation, which is analogous to the per cent of Negro population in furnished by the police census for 1909. The last opportunity for the rectification of the matter will be when the appropriation comes up to Senator Gallinger's committee from the sub-committee of the House in charge of such matters of which Hon Washington Gardner of Michigan is chairman. The it is expected, will be about Saturday, December 18. Much depends upon the New York delegation in Congress on its matter. If they stand firm, it is possible that the Washington colored schools may receive an increased appropriation amounting to one-third of the total.

LOWELL PRESENTS WASHINGTON Harvard President Tributes Tuskegee—Shavv Settlement Prospering—Bethel Anniversary. Boston, Mass., Dec. 14. One of the greatest meetings ever held in the New Old South Church, President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard, introduced Dr. Booker T. Washington last Sunday night. Rev George A Gordon, pastor of the famous church, introduced Dr. Lowell, who said in introducing Dr. Washington "In the preface of his first volume on the French revolution Paine began by trying to settle in his own mind the original principles of the universe, and he found the fundamental principles to be so simple that they might be summed up in one "A human society, and especially a modern society, is a vast and complicated thing. Yet just after our civil war the problem confronting us seemed comparatively simple. We realized that all men are free and equal with a right to self-government, but we found the ideas which took root before the French revolution and which were dominant before our own war are not the dominating ideas of mankind. We have tried many formulas Economic formulas have not brought economic peace. We have come to realize that the world is a far more complicated thing than we had believed, and we have learned to distrust formulas. We are now taking the world not literally but morally, for we have learned that our task is more difficult than we believed "But whatever we may think of the manifold aspects of the problem we may feel that there is one man who is on the right track in his work for the raising of the self-respect of and the attaining of moral betterment for a whole people. We welcome him not only for what he has done for his own race, but for what he has done in facing one of the greatest problems before us today. I now present to you a great educator, a great race leader, a great citizen." Mr. Washington spoke not only of the progress of his own work at Tuskegee and the work that is being done elsewhere in the South in the way of industrial education in supporting the advance of the colored people, but of the progress of every kind of education, in bringing about a better understanding between white men and black men. He said that the educated Negro of today is not the educated Negro of thirty years ago, that he is a sober citizen attending to his business and working out his individual problems which confront him. Mr Washington spoke with optimism of the progress of the race, and showed by significant statistics that the dignity of labor is coming to be felt in the South that in the matter of industry the Negro is no longer standing still, but becoming a commercial factor in every state in the South, and that there has been advancement in education and moral conditions as well President McAulin of Technology and William H. Lewis assistant U.S. district attorney also were seated with Mr Washington on the platform. Dr Washington addressed an audience of between 400 and 400 people at the Hotel Vendome Thursday afternoon under the auspices of the Robt Gould Shaw House. The object of the meeting was to raise money to help defray the expense of running the institution, which is a social settlement primarily for colored people, there being a population of about 6,000 colored people in and around in the world. Mr. Paul Revere Frostingham also was a speaker. Mr. Washington explained the need of such an institution here for the benefit of colored young men and women who come from the South in large numbers He said that while as a rule the better element of Negroes stay in the South, the average Negro who comes to Boston is a pretty good sort of a fellow. The institution is for colored people The institution is for colored people but draws no line. Its headworker is Miss Augusta P. Eaton, who has had seven years' experience working among colored people. There are twenty-four volunteer helpers fourteen of whom are colored. There are classes in sewing, cooking, pyrography, millinery, embroidery and singing. Also a boys' orchestra and other classes are being formed. It is a meeting place for organizations of adults, including a woman's club of twenty-five and a club of young men with more than a hundred members. The workers visit in the homes, and have oversight over boys placed on probation by the juvenile court. There is a playground in summer with an enrollment of seventy. They give summer outings for the children and hold social evenings, and give entertainments including lectures, concerts and dramatic exhibitions. The institution also cooperates with charitable and philanthropic agencies, with the churches, the public schools, the board of health and other branches of the public service.

Considering the inclement weather, the health of the company is very good. The personnel of the company femalest almost the same as at opening of season. At Adrian Mich., we played a special matinee for the State Industrial School for Girls. There are about eight hundred in institution and only four colored among them. Ada Bowles and Willey Whykell are preparing a clever dancing act consisting of singles and clothing with an eccentric double. A brilliant future is predicted for this young team. Colleen孙立娟, Edward Kitter cornetist, Horace Denton, tremblonist, are clever orchestra men, and expect to return to Atlantic City to fill the similar positions held by them last season at the popular resort. Deborah Teal as violinist, Josephine Smith as harpist in a duet in the ensemble number of "My Old Home" are highly complimented for the good work done in the song. Fred Bennet is becoming a popular band conductor. Prominent music houses are dearing that he use their latest publication. Fred Mead has been suffering from a severe attack of tonalitis, his alivery tenor voice being missed in the quartet. At Sapper Mich, our car Boundrock was badly damaged about 4 o'clock in the morning but luckily no one was hurt. While the car was stopped we became the guests of Hotel Polindex at Saginaw. James G Gray still portrays "Uncle Tom" in a most effective and careful manner. We will spend Christmas in the domain of King Edward at St. Thomas, Can. The company extends to friends and members of the profession a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. GEORGIA TROUBADOURS Winter has set in, but despite the wea- ness, business keeps up its usual stand and -ggd- We celebrated the forty-second birthday of our efficient musical director, Fred Burch, with music, wine and song at Hull, la. He received many useful remembrances among them his favorite companion and comfortor, a gold trimmed French briear pipe. Cassie Burch, late of the Moonshiners Daughter Company, has won her way into the hearts of the members of the company as well as her audiences. Her contralto wife, Eleanor Lewis, has won her way to Hattie Lewis, of Boston, Mass., arrived at Hanbury, la, and her initial appearance with the Georgia Troubadours was very successful. Ada Smith is the life and joy of the company, bringing us pleasure whenever there seems a cloud of discontent. She is the pet of the first part and is doing a red hot double turn with Jack Windbush in the oil. Edna Mette'b is one of the most earnest and conscientious workers in the company, and cannot be said of her ability and personality. Bright eyed Edith Gordon, conceded to be one of Chicago's cleverest little performers, is leading the African Jungle Midsle very successfully. Her first part song "Under Pile" is a splendid rendition. Thomas Warren, a splendid singer, wrote the song for his share of credit, and fulil deserves the rounds of appreciation he gets. William Metcalbe and "Clever Billy Young" are the two sturdy human cart and the lightful entertainers up the steep hill of prosperity. Metcalbe is a funny comedian, and with Billy Young the straight man, they get out of their work together the results they We regret to learn of the death of our friends, James Sottles and Harry Bradford. THE NEW YORK TIMES We're looking forward to a Merry Christmas. Miss Cassie Burch especially wishes to be remembered to Jerry Mills and his pupan, Raphael. We look forward to the lodge of his chorus.

Pittsburg, Pa., Dec 14 — The four-act military drama of "Dessalines" was enacted at the Trinity Congregational Church Wednesday evening by a company of very capable young people, under the immediate direction of Miss Honrietta Vinton Davis, one of the races a foremost cloutionistists. Miss Davis is a thorough and painstaking producer, and the artistic rendition of W. Edgur Easton's historic play showed evidences of careful study and conscientious labor on the part of all concerned. The scenic effects and stage accessories were in keeping with the time and place depicted, and beat of all, the actors were well up in their life. The plot deals with the struggle for liberty by the natives of Haiti, who led by the intrepid General Dessalines, a patriot of the Toussaint L'Overture type, overthrew the despotic rule of the French. There are numerous scenes of genuine power, and the company made the most of the opportunities afforded them. A large audience was present to inspire the young Thespians to deeds of valor and renown, and the applause was frequent and hearty Miss Davis as "Zingarella," the flower girl, and doubling with "Dominique," a comedy role, gave a finished performance, ovineming verses verses verses, and was a熤iribly imponed by Mr. Henry Lewis; Mr. Frank Taylor as "Riguaad," and Miss Bessie Banks as "Clarisse," the lovers, acted up to the full possibilities of their "The Gift of Education for the Children" lows; "Dominique L.

This week she is at the Grand Theatre, Superior, Wis. In speaking of her act the Duluth Tribune recently said "While she is not featured on the bill, Miss Abbie Mitchell, recently prima donna with Williams and Walker, has one of the most pleasing numbers. She has a voice of quality that is rarely heard in vaudeville, and if it were not for the trace of Negro blood which is discernible, she would doubtless be heard from on either the concert or grand opera stage. She renders three very difficult selections, and her quiet stage manner and attractive mannerisms are scarcely less pleasing than her voice." --- Here's a piece of news from Minneapolis, Minn., reproduced as sent "Frank Kirk opened at Miles' Theatre, Minneapolis, Minn., week of December 6. I was the first colored act to ever play the theatre. After the first performance the manager came to my dressing room and asked me not to be offended, stating that he would much prefer me to keep my hat on when I bowed to the audience, as it was the first colored act to ever play the house, and he did not want them to know I was colored. The Miles Theatre is supposed to be a hard audience, but I took two encores and bowed just the same." Question: What kind of hair is it evident that Frank Kirk possesses? Answer: Must be like some problems. ACH day Jack Johnson is being roped with increased fame. boved with increased favor to the white writers. Many of them are also beginning to question Jeffries' ability to whip the champion. In fact, within the past two weeks the question has been changed from "Can Johnson whip Jeffries?" to "Can Jeffries whip Johnson." One of the most impartial reviews of the pugilistic situation was recently published in the New York Sun, as follows: Jack Johnson seems to be making friends nowadays. The big Negro pugilist evidently has received some good advice from his manager and associate. He has dropped the overbearing, loud talking methods that caused a storm of criticism when he arrived here from Australia after whipping Burns and is creating a more favorable impression wherever he goes. At first regarded as a pugilistic joke, Johnson has commanded the respect of the sporting public by whipping Al Kaufman and Stanley Ketchel and by signing articles. Johnson is throwing a rumor. In Madison Square Garden Wednesday night Johnson was loudly applauded by hundreds of white men when he jumped on the platform, and as he skipped about the ring, showing remarkable boxing skill, words of praise were heard on all sides. Johnson's head was turned when he won the heavyweight championship from Tommy Burna. Prior to that mill the Negro did not have a dollar. Sam Fitzpatrick had paid his way around the world to secure that fight, only to be turned down cold in the hour of triumph. Johnson left Australia with less than $10,000 in his clothes, but that was more money than he had ever dreamed of having. He could not keep his head from swelling as a result, and when he set foot on American soil he found that he was extremely unpopular with white men. It made no difference where he appeared in public, he was hissed and hooted. The night he entered the ring in Philadelphia to box six rounds with O'Brien there was such a hostile demonstration that Johnson, usually good natured, was as mad as a hatter. It was all he could do to keep from hitting out right and left as he left the ring and heard the abuse at every turn. It was then that Johnson was advised to show the American sporting public that he was not an overrated pugilist and could beat Kaufman, Ketchel or any of the other heavyweights who were hot on his trail. When he made Kaufman look like a novice in a ten round bout therefore Johnson's critics paused in the use of the hammer. Then came the knockout of Ketchel and the Negro's attempt to vindicate himself was even more successful. The fact that as soon as actual negotiations with Jeffries under way Johnson had extra experience in a quality he has shown ever since, also convinced white men that he was entitled to recognition. When bids for the fight were opened on Wednesday Johnson was applauded when he said: "I want everything done fairly and above board. The promoters must have a square deal and when the matter has been settled all I ask is a fair chance to beat Jeffries in the ring. I am not trying to get the best of anything by technicalities and am anxious to show everybody I am on the level." Johnson is supremely confident that he can whip Jeffries. He seems to be overanxious to get into the ring with the former world's champion. He has stated all along that it made no difference who got the fight or whether Jeffries was in with the successful promoter or not. "I'll win, and that means I'll get the big end of the money." Johnson is repeating from day to day Many critics who saw Johnson and Jeffries in the Garden Wednesday night were positive in the opinion that if the men were to meet within a week the Negro would win because of his superior physical condition. While it is true that Jeffries has taken off many pounds of flesh and seems as light as he was when he beat Fitzsimmons for the title and that the hollermaker backs out of stamina and will have to in three or four months at hard labor before he can hope to withstand the gruelling test Jeffries shows signs of being wind broken after two or three one minute rounds of light sparring with Berger. This work is far different from rounds of three minutes each at top speed, at the same time giving and taking heavy blows. Jeffries and Johnson are matched to go "Forty-five rounds or more." If the bout should end with the forty-fifth round the men would be in the ring exactly three hours, of which two hours and fifteen minutes would be consumed by actual fighting. Jeffries, never an aggressive pugilist, must contend with the greatest defensive boxer in the world, which is taken to mean that the mill may be a long drawn out test of endurance. For that reason Jeffries, it is believed, will have to be absolutely fit as to stamina, which involves lung power, if he expects to beat this formidable colored man Negroes Cannot Fight Whites in Memphis. Sam Langford, of Boston, must stick to his own color for opposition in public ring encounters in the section of the South near Memphis if he wants to mix in pugilistic encounters. This defi was delivered by the present and retiring Mayors of Memphis, Tenn., in a ruling governing the recent legalized eight-round boxing he held in the interceded club Langford has practically agreed to meet three opponents before a local club, but the Mayors say that his opponents must be members of the Negro race. No white pugilist will be allowed to meet Langford or any other Negro, say the city fathers. Alpha Enters Sixth Year of Bowling Alpha Enters Sixth Year of Bowling.

The guests, who were friends from adjacent cities and from throughout the State, white and well as colored, were more or less business, professional and social life, who numbered about 800, and at the hour set for the marriage the doors of the church had to be closed, so great was the rush of their well wishers to witness the pageant in honor of the bride to be, who from grilhood was beloved by all. The bride was dressed in white Duchess satin, trimmed with Irish point lace, tulle veil, with diamond ornaments and a pink coral creech, a present from the West Indian Islands, Miss Zillah Rainer, the first bridesmaid, and the Misses Mabel Shackleford, Marguerett Avery, Fanny Avery, were dressed in Lonzence trimmed with Irish crochet and Germanvall Empire gowns with peach colored mesline sashes, bearing yellow chrysanthemums Miss Evelyn Richardson, who was maid of honor, wore a beautiful gown of peach satin, bearing a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. The best man was Leonard Harper of New York City, and the bride was given away by her devoted mother, Mrs. Ellen H Nichols, who wore a pearl crepe de Chine, worn trimmed with valuable ornaments. The presents were many and consisted of very valuable gifts, including an abundance of cut glass, silver, linen, fine pottery and bric-a-brac ornaments. It would be impossible to mention the donor's names or those who were present as space would not permit, but suffice it to say that every gift was useful as well as substantial, which will be prized as long as both live and enough for their postery, D V James Deelman and a force of his caterers served refreshments, and later the bride and groom left amid the happy shoutings of good luck en route to their established home, where the doctor is building up a large and successful practice in medicine.

The funeral of Elli Marris Pierre took place from his late residence 247 West 10th Street. The deceased was 69 years old, was born in New York City, and was well known. He was afflicted ten years ago with paralysis, but he was able what regained the use of his speech and limbs. Although in that condition, he took an interest in the questions and topics of the church, and was listed to the polls and cast his ballot. Within the last two months he began to fall, and was visited often by the Rev. K. G. Gould. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. A. C. Powell, of Abryasian Baptist Church.

Then, addressing the women directly, the speaker said: Put on the Christian armor, and you will do all in your power to improve your personal appearance, but will scorn those who are trying to straighten and bleach out of the race. The reverend's reference to Negro men who marry white women was well received. Ours, he said, are the greatest women in the world; white men on small salaries are compelled to hire servants for their wives, but ours, continued the speaker, not only do their own work, but a great many go out and work for others. There is not a man in this congregation, concluded the reverend, who has accumulated any of this world's goods whose wife did not share equally with him in his struggle. To discourage such noble women by ridding the outcasts of another race she trying the outcasts of another race she conclusively that we are not wearing the Christian armor. Rev. R. H. Thompson, pastor of St Paul Baptist Church, who has been ill, has recovered and has commenced his work with the same zeal that has won him to many friends in his neighborhood. The Sunday School of this church is devoted to be doing a great work. Mr. the Rev. Hindsle deserve special for their numerous efforts in improving the young in the path of right. Banks, Bowman, and Deacon have been seriously ill, but are receiving. A newly organized or- ganization and auxiliary, under the management of Prof. Strawbridge, are the additions to St. Paul. Mrs. Harriet Brown of Ruckersville was visiting the city last week, and in company with Mr. and Mrs W. Noble, were the guests of her two daughters, Mrs. Durrett and Mrs Frye. The many friends of Mrs Starrow of the East End will regret to learn of the illness of nearly every member of her family. Harrison Williams, O. L. M. Moore and E. Jenkins are among the many young men who are attending night school. Rev. A. A. Virgil, pastor of the Warren M. E. Church, preached an interesting sermon last Sunday night, in which he made a strong plea for a closer observance of Sunday. President Wilbur P. Thirkield of Howard University, Washington, D.C. was in the city this week, and delivered a lecture at Warren Church Monday night on "Making a Man." The auditorium of the church was filled with the city's most representative people, the consensus of whose opinion is that Howard University has the right man in the right place. President Thirkield advised a thorough education of the heart, head and hand, and a stronger desire to dignify labor. He told a sad story of an educated tramp who once upon a time went from house to house begging. When asked by a lady if he couldn't find something to do, the tramp replied—nothing but work. The speak this as one of his many reuses for the education of the climax of the was for every one to first have an life, then have one to work to it, nothing in life as The speal many rea th Rector and McCarter have opened an up-to-date restaurant at 3107 Penn avenue.

After spending a week visiting friends at Washington, D.C., Mrs J B Sheard has returned home. A large and representative number of citizens met at Lyric Hall, corner Gilmore and Fulton street, December 8. It answer to invitations to consider organizing a branch of the Y M C A for Negroes. Attorneys Wm. M Randolph, W h. Stanton and Capt. F. R Steward, Dr. James A. Page and Rev S A Virgil were the prominent speakers who favored the move. Ralph W. Harbison, president of the Pittsburgh Y. M C A. W. A. Hunter, international secretary, Negro Y. M C A. of N. A., and H J Hill, special secretary of Pittsburgh Y. M C A. also made speeches explaining the workings of the Y. M C A., which proved so satisfactory to some that a national organization was formed and awarding officers were elected. Anderson, president; R H. service-president; D. R. Lewis, cause of the opinion that the time has come for Negroes to look after the training of their own children to the extent of organizing for their uplift as it seems best to them. According to the information received, every Negro present will be expected to secure five members, which would make a membership of over 600. The white officers of the Y M C A. told their hearers they must earnestly in helping to raise a certain amount. When the campaign for funds starts the Negro headquarters will be in the hands of Negroes, who will make daily reports to the central board at the close of the campaign. The amount raised by the Negroes and the number of members secured will determine the size of the building to be erected. When complete the building will be occupied by Negroes as long as they have a branch to sustain it. In answer to a question respecting the necessity of two associations under the same management—one for the white man and one for the black man—Mr Hill, the special secretary of the Y M C A of Pittsburg, said there is nothing in their constitution rejecting Negroes, but a majority of their members are opposed to the United States. The constitution of the United States, continued the speaker, guarantees every Negro the rights of a citizen, but you know you do not always get them. Those opposed to the establishment of a "Jim Crow" branch here encourage that since the controlling sentiment of the Y M C A seemingly encourages color prejudice, thus forcing the necessity for two associations, if the Negroes have not enough interest in themselves to organize under a name of their own selection, write their own discipline, and work for the uplift of their boys as they will have to before they get the building for which they are now craving, it would be better to do nothing in that direction. They conclude that every Y M C A branch for Negroes everywhere is as much "Jim Crow" as any of the Southern laws discriminating against the race on the account of color, and as long as they stand they will be monuments to the Negroes' compromise for being Negroes. Another man said. It is not that we want to force ourselves on the Y M C A, but we know as we have always argued if prominent Negroes in this city and other places would combine their efforts and work with that object in view time would soon come when they would have an association and building as free from the odor of "Jim Crowism" as is the A M E Church. Petersburg, Va. Regular Correspondence of THE A.F. Petersburg, Va., Dec. 14. The Petersburg Royal Lodge of Elks, No. 77, held its annual memorial service last Sunday at Oak Street Church. The executive committee, including Dr. W. A. Crowder, J. W. Robinson and others, arranged a most appropriate program, the features of which were the annual address by Rev. W. G.

Among other things, arrangements were completed preparatory to holding a large meeting in Shenzer Epistle Church Thursday night, where Dr. Lennon G.
