COLOR LINE IN OKLAHOMA Agitation in Education Circles Over Race Question Educator Invited to Speak at Convention of State Teachers' Association and Trouble Follows Principal Objector 'Denounced and Prof. Page Asked to Allow His Name to Remain on Program. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Oklahoma City, Okla., Jan. 19 — "Shall the color line be closely drawn in educational circles of Oklahoma" is causing considerable agitation in this state, and threatens to disrupt the State Teachers' Association The teachers are wrought up over the race question, owing to the action of some of the pedagogues in protesting against the invitation extended to Prof. human E. Page, president of the Langston Agricultural and Mechanical College, to address the convention of the State Teachers' Association. The Langston institution is devoted to the education of the Negro youths of the state and has won a national reputation, while its head, Professor Page, is known as "the Booker Washington of Oklahoma" George Wilson, of the Alva Normal, started the agitation against permitting Professor Page to address the teachers, but the end is not yet in sight, and it is possible that before the matter is ended, the teachers' association may be split into warring factions Professor Page attempted to pour oil on the troubled waters by voluntarily withdrawing his name from the programme, but this only served to intensify the feeling against Wilson and others who take the antinegro side of the question White Teacher Shows Pernictous Activity. Wilson wrote letters to the state superintendents of twenty-one states, asking them if it is customary to place Negroes of the programme of the state teachers' associations in their state, and if it is not customary has it ever been done. In an interview given out at Alva Wilson declared that some of the replies to these letters will make interesting reading matter. It is known that replies received by Wilson to at least two of his letters are not favorable to his contentions that the color line should be closely drawn in state educational circles. E T Fairchild, superintendent of schools in Kansas, has replied that it is not considered improper in Kansas for a prominent Negro to be placed on the programme of a state teachers' meeting, especially to discuss Negro education. He cites a fact that Booker T Washington was once placed on the programme of the National Teachers' Association and that he has addressed the state association of at least one Southern state. Howard A Gass, state superintendent of Missouri, has written that while it is not customary in Missouri to place Negroes on the programme, Booker T Washington was once asked to address the teachers' association of that state, and did so to the entire satisfaction of all. Professor Wilson received something of a setback from the Northern Teachers Association, comprising the teachers of his own county as well as other Southern counties, who recently adopted a strong set of resolutions concluding the course being pursued by Wash. In lieu of the first that Prep- chool Life of our colored A M University has been forced by the irresponsable and dis- tractive actions of some par- ticipants in the program, to widen from the program of our college to the program has given him Negro Education in 1. That we consider this leadership of Mr. Page beneath the discipline of the teaching profession. We must recognize that he has been able to withdraw from the practice and asked that he be rewarded to allow it to remain in the State association program. HENRY GRAHAM GILBERT DEAD Bodyguard of Samuel J. Tilden and Known to Prominent Politicians Died Last Week of Lincoln Hospital Henry Graham Gilbert who was bodyguard of Sam- J. Tilden there passed away a matter known to scores of prominent tans of Tilden's time. Gilbert last week of the Lincoln Hospital higher illness. Graham Gilbert tailed an un- position with Governor Tilden and with other employers, most of them persons well known in New York. While nominally he was a butler every family with which he was treated he succeeded in making him available in a dozen different cap- abilities. Unable to read and write, ex- cept for scrawling his name, he knew nearly every one of political or social prominence in the city and State and never made a mistake in naming each one at sight. He was always put at the door at important functions held in houses in which he was employed. He was a mulatto, and was born in Hampton, Va., about 1842. His mother died in 1894 at an advanced age. His father brought him north when he was a boy, and he began serving well known families in New York At the opening of the Civil War he went to the front as personal servant of Colonel William Jay. With him in Colonel Jay's employ was a young Irishman whose name has been lost. The two servants, according to stories later told by Gilbert, began their military experiences with the first battle of Bull Run. Gilbert used to say that he and his Irish friend were among the first to get off that field and that stopped running only when safe in Washington. When their fears subsided they rejoined their employer and according to Gilbert's reminiscences had no more trouble of that sort. Among other families with which Gilbert was connected in his earlier days were the Havemeyers, Mollers and Bigelows. Governor Tilden took up Gilbert about 1872. The latter remained with the Democratic leader during the fourteen years that remained before Mr Tilden's death in 1886. Gilbert used to tell tales of his care of the Governor, always insisting that it was only by his own judgment in selecting food and in a thousand and one other intimate matters of daily life Mr. Tilden ever got on at all. One of his anecdotes was about the way he used to get rid of unwelcome callers at Mr Tilden's city home. Gilbert always knew them by intuition "They'd come up and say, 'Is Gov. Tilden in?'" he used to say, "and I'd go into the house and come back and say 'No,' but I was always mighty careful to shove Mr Tilden out into the garden before I said it—I wouldn't tell a lie, no, sur." Gilbert was in a prominent place at the funeral. The Governor left him $1,000. GETS $30,000 ESTATE Court Decides That James Edward Johnson is Entitled to Property Left by the Late Bridget Torpey. James Edward Johnson, a Negro, has been declared the legal heir of Bridget Torpey, a cook who died several months ago over 70 years old, leaving an estate valued at $30,000. In handing down a decision in favor of Johnson Surrogate Thomas mild. There was unquestionably an understanding between her and Johnson that if he would care for her lifelong health he should inherit the estate, says the Surrogate. I do not think it surprising that the decedent chose to reside with Johnson. She had worked with Johnson and other Negroes for a quarter of a century, and was accustomed to them. She only went to live with Johnson after she had diligently sought a place elsewhere. The decision in the Torpey will contest was of general interest, in which two brothers and a sister sought to have the Torpey will annulled, and Margaret M Bennett, a trained nurse introduced a will purporting to have been drawn up after the document which named Johnson as her and best friend of the testatrix. Surrogate Thomas threw out the will presented by Miss Bennett, and further decided that Johnson was the proper person to receive the estate Bridget Torppe came to this country when she was 11 years old and for over twenty five years she worked in the kitchen of Mrs N B Laft's boarding house, at 46 West Twenty fifth street. During this time she accumulated $30,000, of which amount $16,500 was in cash in banks. PAYS TRIBUTE TO AGED WOMAN. Lending White Citizens of Milledgeville, Ga., Act as Pallibearners at Funeral of Aunt Amy Latimer. Milledgeville, Ga., Jan 18—For the second time in the recent history of Milledgeville has a Negro been buried with some of our most prominent white citizens acting as pallibearers. In both instances it was the funeral of an old colored mammy, this time it was Aunt Amy Latimer. The pallibearers were Judge G. J Whiden, recorder. Dr J K H W Stembridge, George H Jr Grant, J H Andress C L Morris. Recently Dr B J Simmons, one of the most successful Negroes of this State, was hired in this city. He had accumulated some $2000 in the last ten years for the practice of medicine. He represented all the most that a progress we men of his race had accomplished in this community. The white people did not ignore his success. He received considerable consideration in many ways, is a lover that his disability was regarded. Quite a number of our officers attended his funeral, but it is safe to tell that there is no comparison to be made of the feelings of the white people over the passing away of these two members of another race. Aunt Amy has accumulated little or nothing. It was not what she had, but what she was and what she had been that opened the hearts of her white friends and made them mindful of her even after death. Aunt Amy had been in the valley and the shadow with many good mothers in this community. Her tender, humble sympathy and gentle services were not to be forgotten. Her voice had first announced the arrival of many a bouncing boy or girl. The white women sent wreathes and roses. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1910. Negro Pupils to Get Better Accommodations in the Future JOHN L. PARKER TALKS President of School Board Favors More Buildings—Age-Herald Takes Up Fight. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Birmingham, Ala., Jan 12 — The fight made by the Negroes of this city for better public school accommodations is bearing fruit. Both the school officials and the press have been won over, and at the beginning of the next scholastic year it is highly probable that Birmingham will boast of more Negro schools. Furthermore, there will be a noticeable improvement in the sanitary condition of the old school buildings. Relative to the charge that the Board of Education is not exerting itself in the interest of the Negro school children, John L. Parker, president of the Board of Education, has given out the following statement The Board of Education is preparing to do all that it can, not only for the Negro children of the city, but for all of them. We are handsome and well given in the matter of a lack of funds. At the present time, however, we have plans for the erection of a new school house for the Negroes. We have various sites under consideration. As a nucleus school we gave all the money which came as a result of the sale of property on Third avenue and Twenty-fifth street. Quite recently we went to a $1,000 expense in bettering sanitary conditions in the Negro school, giving all the Negroes all we can, but the board is not to be driven. All interested in the work should become aware of that fact. Newspaper Says Give Negro Children Better Facilities. The Birmingham Age-Herald recently made the following plea for schools for Negro children. It is the plain duty as well as the plain duty of this city to treat Negro children fairly. At the present time there is not decent accommodation to the public schools for the children of this city. There are not seats enough to accommodate one-half of the number. Only the oldest inhabitants can remember when a schoolhouse for Negroes was built in this city. All can remember when one was born and grown under suspicious circumstances. The city authorities should have the courage of their convictions. The blatant demagogues should be pushed back while justice is served. The Negro labor is not Negro labor is as essential here as it is in any other Southern city, and the best of Negro labor cannot be retained here unless we build schoolhouses to accommodate the children of these laborers in their respect to build such schoolhouses. The condition of the Negro schools in this city is disgraceful. They are over crowded, shabby and un sanitary. They are just what a school should be and the situation calls for something better, and that, too, speedily. TO HAVE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. Industrial School Will be Established in Liberia Along Lines of Tuskegee. Baltimore Md, Jan 19 - Dr Frnest Lyon, American Minister to Liberia, who returned a few days ago from Tuskegee Institute, where he, Dr Booker T, Washington and Bishop I. B. Scott had a conference regarding Liberia educational conditions, states that an industrial school modeled on Tuskegee lines will be established in Liberia. "The establishment of such a school," said Dr Lyon, "under the guidance of Tuskegee Institute, will be of interest. He benefited to the Liberians, and I am sure they will be extremely well pleased with the prospect of such an institution." "While at Tuskegee I had a better opportunity than ever before to see the greatness of the work being done by Dr Washington." While at Tuskegee Dr Lyon and Bishop Scott attended the annual reception of the County to Dr Washington. Recommends Appropriations for Institutions Baltimore, Md., Jan 19—The Board of State and Citizens has recommended to the Legislature that $4,000 be appropriated to various Negro elec- monary institutions during the next two years. This includes $3,000 to Provident Hospital and $20,000 to the Colored House of Reformation Thirty-two Negro Letter Carriers in Mobile. Mobile, Ala., Jan 18—According to statutes recently given out, Mobile boasts of thirty-two Negro letter carriers and a superintendent of carriers—James T. Peterson 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 OVER TWO THOMAS AND HEAR EDUCATOR Booker T. Washington Addresses Large Audience at Albany Special to The New York Age Atlanta, Ga., June 18—Dr. Booker T. Washington addressed an audience of over 2,000 persons at the Auditorium-Armory last Wednesday week. Many white people were present. After the exercises at the Auditorium a banquet was handed the educator at the Central Congregational Church, at which Dr. John E. White spoke on behalf of the whites and Rev. J. W. Bowen for the Negro citizens. In his address, Dr. Washington said in part "I am here because I believe in the work of Rev. J. H. Proctor. I have faith in his plan and faith in the man. It is a matter of the greatest encouragement that leaders like Rev. Proctor, President Hope and others in Atlanta are not only giving attention to the professional training of the Negro, but are helping the Negro to use in the common, ordinary occupations of life his education and his religion. "I have said before that the average white lady in the South who is a housekeeper will never believe thoroughly in the education of the Negro until she can see some of the results of education in her own kitchen, and in her own dining room. The average white man in the South who owns a farm will never believe thoroughly in the education of the Negro until she can see some good results of education on his own farm. Our white friend must be patient, however, with us while we are reaching this point. The kind of encouragement that manifests itself in the kitchen and on the farm is something in this country that is new for the white man, but gradually year by year we are making progress in the objective influence of Church and School. "We must be at all times, however, that no matter what we do in the schoolroom, in the church or elsewhere, that our efforts will prove of little value unless the influence of the church an dof the school reaches the most ordinary man and woman of our race. Education and religion must reach and help the man who uses the pick and shovel, must reach and help the woman who washes, who irons, who cooks. "From the very beginning every Negro child should be taught the dignity of labor, should be taught to get rid once and for all of the old idea that the educated man and the educated woman should not work with their hands. "We are mainly depended upon in a large part of the South for common and skilled labor. We must see to it that if we would hold the place which we now occupy in the world of labor that we are reliable as a class of laborers. People who burn up against large numbers often save to me that the Negro can be depended upon for a certain class of labor for a little while, but he cannot and of the school reaches the most or especially are they likely to add that if the Negro receives his cash on Saturday night, one is never sure whether he will return to his place of labor on Monday morning. If that weakness prevails among the common laborers in the city of Atlanta, we must never cease our efforts until the Negro laborer is made reliable. "The Negro must improve year by year as a laborer. The kind of labor which would satisfy on the farm and in the kitchen twenty years ago will not satisfy to-day Improvements can only he brought about by putting brains and skill into the most ordinary occupation. The Negro must have his mind awakened, his ambitions aroused. No man works unless he has an incentive, unless his wants are increased. In proportion as the Negro has his wants increased, he becomes more reliable as a laborer. I need not refer to the fact that in a city like Atlanta the Negro man or woman who is most reliable as a laborer is the one who owns one house and wants another house or perhaps add another room to the house now owned; it is the Negro man or woman who has $100 in the bank and wants to put another $100 in the bank "The State of Georgia spends thousands of dollars in educating white farmers at the State University, and asks at the eleven agricultural colleges located in the congressional districts, but so far as I can discover the State of Georgia spends practically nothing in educating Negro farmers. The man who thinks it is necessary to spend thousands of dollars in educating the white boy as a farmer and nothing to educate the Negro boy pays too high a compliment to the Negro boy in that he means to argue that the white boy in order to sustain himself as a farmer needs education which will make him intelligent as to the best tools with which to cultivate but the Negro boy is naturally so intelligent and skilful that he can become a good farmer without education. I say such reasoning implies too high a compliment to the natural intelligence of my race." THE LORD'S PRAYER FOR THE WORLD J. FRANK WHEATON who has been appointed one of the members of Conference Committee to be held by Elks next week at Wilmington, Del. Safety Banking and Realty Company Opens Its Doors Albert Boyd, Largest Depositor on First Day Building $600, Bright Outlook for Institution. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Mobile, Ala., Jan. 19.—This city has a Negro bank, the first to be established in the history of Mobile. It is known as the Safety Banking and Realty Company, and was opened last week. This new financial institution is located at 256 St Michael street President Newsome, Vice-President Evans, Secretary Boyd, Cashier Knox, W. J. Robinson, manager of the real estate department, and Mrs Duncan, stenographer, took an active part in the opening. Among the invited guests were Rev W R. Pettiford, founder and president Penny Savings Bank, Birmingham, and Rev A F Owens, Tuskegee Institute The opening ceremony was simple. President Newsome turned over to the cashier the necessary books, congratulations extended the officers by President Pettiford, and letters of congratulation from officers of three of the most prominent white banks of Mobile. These letters not only expressed congratulations, but offers of assistance. The next step, the most essential to banking business, was receiving deposits. W J Robinson handed over the counter the first deposit—$9,75, which amount was afterwards imputed by him to $14. The next depositor was Albert Bond, who startled by the standers by planking down $000. A white hitor, to express his confluence in the enterprise, deposited $25. Following were deposits ranging from one dollar to one hundred and fifty dollars. At the close of business at 9 o'clock, according to report of Rev A P Owens, eighty-one depositors, all Negroes, except two, had committed to the safe-keeping of the Negro bank the sum of $1,890.91. White Citizens Evinice Interest. More than a score of leading white citizens called during the day and expressed delight at seeing a Negro bank open in Mobile. Several hundred colored citizens called and promised their moral support and co-operation. Rev. A. F. Owens stated to a representative of THE Age that the bank opened under the most auspicious circumstances; that the universal sentiment of the leading white citizens was favorable to the enterprise, and that the department on the first day showed that the best colored citizens will do business with the bank. The safeguards thrown around depositors are the heavy bonds of those who will have the handling of the money and the watchful care of the state examiner, whose business is to see that depositors and public are protected. The money safe used by the bank is acknowledged by experts to be the strongest safe in the world. It is said to be absolutely burglar proof. Within six weeks three banks have been organized by Negroes in Alabama, including one in Selma, receiving $2,145 on deposit the first day, and one in Aniston, with $1,700 deposited the first day. Movements are on foot, according to Rev. Owens, to organize a Negro bank in Montgomerie and also in Pensacola, Fla. With the start that this bank had the first day, the moral support of the business standing of some of the trustees, Red Qwens thinks the bank will succeed Bill to Prevent Establishment of School. Lexington, Ky., Jan. 18.—Representative Holland has introduced in the Legislature a bill to prevent the establishment of the Negro school, known as "Lincoln Institute," near She'bysville, Ky., for which an endowment of a half million dollars was raised. Andrew Carnegie and Mrs Russell Sage were among the largest contributors. The college is an offshoot of Berea. Holland says the people in his district do not want a Negro school in their section. Montgomery, Ala., Jan 18—Seven men have been indicted by the Federal Grand Jury as a result of the charges that Wash ardener, a Negro of Butler County, was held in pennage. All of the indicted men have been held on a bond of $2,000 each and will be called for trial January 24. --- PRICE, 5 CENT Both Factions Unite After Many Months of Dickering ATKINS AND MILLS Two Grand Exalted Rulers Meet at Hampton, Va., and Bring About Unification CONFERENCE COMMITTEE Meeting to be Held in Wilmington Next Week—J. Frusk Wheaton Named to Represent Atkins Faction. After many months of conference and deliberating with a view to getting together, but never to any good results, the two factions of the Improved Benevolent Order of Elks of the World have at last reached an amicable working basis on which a consolidation is to be effected at a near date THE AGE is in position to announce that the unification of the two warring elements has been agreed upon already, and that all preliminary work towards bringing about harmony has been concluded. An agreement to cast aside all differences and unite both factions of Elks was reached several days ago at a peace conference held at Hampton, Va, which was participated in by Dr W. E. Atkins, grand exalted ruler of what is known as the Atkins faction, and Dr. James E. Mills, grand exalted ruler of what is known as the Howard faction. Of late a number of conferences have been held by the two exalted rulers, but it was only a few days ago that they came to a definite understanding relative to unification. Conference Committee to Meet January 25. On January 2, a meeting will be held in the lodge rooms of the Paul Laurence Dunhair Lodge, 811 Tatnall street, Wilmington, Del., at which representatives from each faction will confer relative to the time and place for the holding of an union session. Officers will also be selected to preside at this important gathering in Wilmington. week will be known as the confessor Committee, and the following will represent the Atkins faction: Counselor J. Frank Wheaton of New York, L. Melanese King of Washington, D. C. Rev. John H. Gray of Hampton, Va, and Grand Exalted Ruler W. E. Atkins as ex-officio member. A similar number, with Grand Exalted Ruler Mills as ex-officio member, will represent the Howard faction. The Conference Committee will not discuss the question of unification, as such a step has been fully decided upon by the two exalted rulers. Since the failure of the two factions to unite last fall an attempt has been made by members of both sides to bring about a compromise. Many argued that with the white Elks making a fight against the colored body it would serve the two factions to combine and work for the general good of the Improved Benevolent Order of Elks. J Frank Wheaton, who has been selected to serve on the Conference Committee to represent the Atkins faction, is a known attorney-at-law in New York city, one of 357 W Fifty-fourth street. Before coming to New York some years ago he served as a member of the Minnesota State Legislature. He has been prominently identified in politics in this city for several years, and was the originator of the movement to entertain the members of the Tenth Cavalry upon their home coming last summer.

Prominent ministers and laymen from all over the country and the city churches will be present to take part in the God-speed. The revival services are going on with unabated interest. The results are gratifying. Rev Bolden has been assisted by Rev W S Carey and this week he will have the able help of Rev R A Morrissey, D.D, the Missionary Secretary of Zion connection William W. Long is one of the men in Mother Zion Church on whom Rev Bolden will largely depend to make the forthcoming remon, which will be given by the church the first week in March, a rousing success. Mr Long was born in Margaretsville, N.C. in 1902, and is therefore in his forty-second year. Like many other young Negro boys, education even in a most limited form was a thing ardently desired, but short and seldom attained. But being possessed of an undomitable will and a desire to be better than the boys around him, he early made up his mind to come to New York, and so he did at 12 years of age, where he has resided ever since. He never faltered in his determination to be something, to do something. He now holds a responsible position as salesman for and is at the head of the shipping department of the Blickensdorfer Typewriting Company, with offices on lower Broadway, where he is held in the highest esteem. In 1906 Mr. Long joined the Mother A. M. E Zion Church, and in the spring of the following year he was elected a trustee. In 1908 he was unanimously elected by the board of trustees as the agent of the property, a position he has filled with credit to himself and the church. Mr Long is highly regarded by his fellow trustees for his straightforward manner of saying and doing things, and as an evidence of the confidence they have in him he is a member of nearly every important committee. He is a generous contributor to the support of the church and is always among the first to respond to any worthy appeal. He is a member of several secret organizations, where his work and influence are felt. He is a Mason and a member of Adelphi Union Lodge. In 1890 he married Miss Judia Duke, of Mecklenburg. Va., and three very promising girls have blessed their union, Eva, 18; Gladys, 16, and Beatrice, 14. Mr. Long will in all probability he re-elected as a trustee, as his work since he has been on the board has been of the highest endeavor DR. CHAPMAN AT Y. M. C. A.

He spoke in part as follows: First, a moment of whisper have been power. With the sand dollar mer-chant at the door, a two-bank bank with a hand. It is not the step but the prince of the brain that makes the chimpant would greatest that man. Lesson 3. Grant was a promiscuous is a box that his mother called him Useless. Great Brain power, no essay, but it must be utilized. The Angels, the material for which it was sent, ents, brought one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. In the second place, men of achievement are observant. The man always ventured the scheme for the tunnel under the Some River discovered it by observing the worm as it worked its way through wood. The flippant, flittering life never amounts to nothing. The Scotchman who invented the suspension bridge made the discoveries by observing the spider spinning his web, and Galvano who invented the galvane hatter, made the discoveries by watching the flesh of a frog's leg rise to meet his needle. "Again, to be successful we must have the power of application. Nothing comes easy. There is no royal road to success—none to wealth, if every dollar you earn is an honest dollar. It is by going at it and sticking to it that anything is accomplished in life. "Again, another distinguishing characteristic of men of achievement is integrity. I have yet to hear of an ignorant philosopher or inventor. But morality is superior to them all. Education PRESIDENT OF THE BAPTIST MINISTRY With this man, who wore a wicked man could tap the gas mask of this city, and pump in oxygen, and in the evening when some one went to light the gas the whole city would be blown up. That's what an educated soundrel could do. An honest man will not steal." Miss Lilian Leighton Lamson, of the Star Lyceum Bureau, a young white lady of great talent, entertained an audience Tuesday night, giving the entertaining drama, "The Lion and the Mouse," taking the part of all the characters The Literary Society conducted a business men's session on Tuesday evening, and considered "Some of the Fundamental Mistakes of the Negro Business man." Next Sunday afternoon an evangelistic meeting will be held at 4 o'clock. Messrs B G Petts, William Glasgow, and Oliver Sealey, all enthusiastic evangelistic workers, will lead the meeting.

STREET --- Washington, D C, Jan. 10 — The election of the Musolitsis was held last Friday evening. The presidency was awarded to Dr. A. M. Curtis, a physician and surgeon of national reputation Dr Curtis has been in the club almost since its formation as an active member. He succeeds as president such men as James A. Cobb and W Bruce Evans, the former a United States District Attorney and the latter principal of the Armstrong Technical High School, Lieut. T. H. R. Clarke, in making the nomination, proposed the name of Dr. Curtis, not only as a personal honor, but in recognition of the fact that the N. M. A would meet here in August and the consequent desire to confer the honor of the presidency of the Musolitsis upon some prominent physician. Mr. Clarke's nomination was seconded by J C. Campbell, a well known newspaper correspondent. It was asked by Robert H Pelham that the nomination be made unanimous, and Dr. Curtis was elected thus. He has not as yet announced his cabinet or executive committee Among white and colored society a bubble of excitement was occasioned by the presence of Hon H Pauleus Sannon and Mme Sannon at the diplomats' reception given at the White House a few days ago. It is the custom for diplomats to carry in to dinner on these occasions some other lady than their own. It has been impossible, however, for the correspondents of metropolitan dailies or of the colored newspapers to learn who escorted Mme Sannon in to dinner Your correspondent ventures to assert that it was the Spanish Minister, of whom the Sannons are immediate neighbors. The minister from Hattu speaks no English nor is he greatly desirous of undertaking to learn the language at present by reason of the stress of his diplomatic duties. The library at Howard University will be dedicated on Wednesday evening, March 10. The occasion will be a special one by reason of the presence of President William H Taft, and Andrew Carnegie, donor of the library building The Alpha Kappa Alpha of Howard University is planning to initiate a large number of recent applicants for admission to the secrecy of the order.

AFTERMATH OF HUB ELECTIONS Fitzgerald Made Many Promises Fitzgerald Gives Double Cross- Persuasion Regular Correspondence of The Agr. Boston, Mass., Jan. 19—The municipal election here on Tuesday, January 11, closed the hardest fought political battle ever waged for the office of mayor of Boston. Both candidates, between whom the bitter and unrelentless fight was waged, were Democrats. The voters were divided between Mr Fitzgerald and Mr Storrow Out of a registration of possibly 4,500 Negro voters, more than 2,000 signed cards and pledged support to Mr Storrow. Every clergyman of influence and standing, the business men almost solidly, as well as well-known men heretofore prominent in politics, were with Mr Storrow A majority of the colored voters are located in Wards 10, 11, 12 and 15, and in the Dorchester district. In every precinct in various wards where they vote Mr Storrow received a larger vote than either Mr Hubbard in 1907 or Lieut-Gov. Frothingham, the most popular Republican in Boston, and a larger vote than ever given in these precincts heretofore to any candidate except in a presidential election. So it can fairly be said that 80 per cent if not more of the colored vote stood by Mr Storrow for mayor The editor of the local weekly, who is always "preaching, righteousness and teaching "my race" how to live, must have figured that concrete cash in hand is of more genuine satisfaction to him just now than abstract righteousness. So this time instead of posing as a martyr to the cause of the race, he played double cross and got the dough. In consideration of $150 from the Storrow managers, THE ACE representative is informed, the editor in question promised to keep neutral during the campaign and say nothing in his paper for or against either Mr Fitzgerald or Mr Storrow. He kept his part of the contract all right until he got the Storrow money snugly tucked away in his inside pocket. As this money was not handed over to him until the last week of the campaign, he was neutral up to that time, but as soon as he received the money he got busy making charges against Mr Storrow and whooping it up for Mr Fitzgerald. One of this editor's allies is a minister, who talks much but says little. He is the principal man who made the charge against Mr Storrow. His word hasn't much weight, however, in matters political or otherwise, on account of his peculiarity of changing his mind about things after he has been "seen". It is said that he promised to do some yeoman service for Mr Storrow as soon as he could go home and get some certain papers, and that he was seen on the way by a Fitzgerald supporter and failed to return. He recently favored the licensing of a dance hall to be opened in the rear of his church on the opposite side of the street. He was first opposed to the dance hall because of the harmful effects upon the young women of the race. He was seen taking a drive with a young man who was interested in the dance hall, and upon his return he favored it, "because," he said, "if a colored man don't open one there, some white man will." Many of the Negroes who supported Mr Fitzgerald are now holding their breaths, so to speak, while awaiting the time for the Fitzgerald promises to be fulfilled. It is said that Mr Fitzgerald is the best promoter Boston has ever known, and that in the campaign just closed he promised the same job to just one dozen colored men and to equally as many whites. How these promises to the colored brother are going to pan out remains to be seen. But it is a safe bet that nine tenths of them will go to the ground. The new city charter now provides that every candidate appointed by the mayor must be an expert in his department, and must furnish evidence of being able to make good by passing a civil service examination. This will bar many who are looking for sinecures, and will also furnish a loophole for the mayor to pose as keeping his promises and at the same time not keep them. So, after all, perhaps the editor of the local sheet did not sit in his life when he played double cross and got the cash instead of promises. Chas H.

Two thousand Negro farmers, their wives and children, attended the fourth annual session of the Negro Farmers' Conference, held here under the auspices of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, which came to a close last night. The Conference is a part of the extension work of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, of which Wm. H. Holtzzwarth principal. The Tuskegee idea in all its beneficial teaching of self-help is not even more vividly shown at Tuskegee than it is here at Utica, for the establishment and maintenance of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute is a direct outcome of the Tuskegee teaching, its principal being a typical Tuskegee product. The concrete examples of successful farm life of these Negro farmers who attended the conference show how this institution, with all its work, has become a very part of the life of these people Ten years ago they lived from hand to mouth. Now, through the influence of this institution, some have cleared them selves of debt, others have created spacious modern homes for their families, while all, more or less, are bending every energy to the task of obtaining a good education for their children to the end that they may be good and useful citizens. sician Rev Mrs W. J. Winston is still a patient in the Paterson General Hospital, Paterson, N. J. She is improving daily an dis able to get around in her ward. Rev P H Nevis is much better, and we hope he will soon be able to leave the hospital. Rev Nevis is a strong Gospel preacher. Services at Mt.

Rev W W Sebree, B D, a classmate of Rev Winston, our pastor, preached a most scholarly sermon which was enjoyed by all. Knowledge of the Is Power for the Know Y Futur And Guide Yourself to You Can Do So B New York's O Clairvo JACKSONVILLE MASONS EIGHT Interest Among White and Black Over Receivership Questions Large Business Successes. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan 14 -- The Masonic fraternity of Florida, the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge, John H. Dickerson, Grand Master, E I Alexander, Grand Secretary, and A J Junus, Grand Treasurer, is experiencing many vexatious entanglements while the Grand Master is in feeble health Grand Master Dickerson has held office continuously since the death of S H Coleman, who met his death in a railway wreck about twelve years ago. There are at present about 18,000 Master Masons in the jurisdiction and about 150 subordinate Masons, a grand commandery of Knights Templar, a grand chapter of Royal Arch Masons, a consistory of Mystic Shriners, a grand court of the Heroines of Jericho, and a grand court of the Order of the Eastern Star, affiliated There is a Masonic Benefit Association for the Masons, with an insurance feature and the same for the Heroines of Jericho for the members of that order. Thousands of dollars are received and expended by these branches of the Masonic order, and in addition, for the past two years, funds have been collected to erect a $100,000 temple on a lot that has been bought and paid for in a popular part of the city. Taking exceptions to the methods which the Grand Master has pursued in collecting these funds, and also at what is alleged to be high-handed methods in government, the matter has gone into court. Temple Lodge, No 340, has had the Grand Master enjoined, and also a number of other Masons from different subordinate lodges have enjoined the Grand Master. Another court case is that of Dr John R Scott, grand venerable patron of the Heroines of Jericho, who is suing the Grand Master for $10,000 for defamation of character. Attorney I L. Purcell champions the cause of the Masons, and Attorney E J A L. Engle and Bostwick for the Grand Master. The extent and intensity of the surmising, predicting and regrets can better be imagined than expressed. These cases will all be argued and decided upon soon, and a receiver has been petitioned for in the interest of the Masons.

THE WAISTMAKERS' STRIKE. THE WAISTMAKERS STRIKE We too have been importoned by a lady of wealth and social position to come to the assistance of the striking girl waistmakers We have also had the case of the shirtwaist manufacturers presented to us, and through our advertisement columns colored girls have found employment as ironers with the firms whose employees are now on strike. A short time ago the request came that we help induce these colored girls to join the union and that we dissuade other colored girls from taking the places of those now on strike We have refused these requests both on general and specific grounds. Prior to the strike of the waistmakers, Negro girls were not asked to join the union. They not being asked amounted practically to an exclusion from the union and the workshop. Had Negro girls applied for positions and been employed the employees who are now striking and now professing this dog-in-the-manger sistership would have immediately clamored for their discharge. More than that, we asked the philanthropic sponsor for the striking girls would the union admit Negro girls in the future without discrimination as to employment should they refrain from taking the positions now open. As yet we have received no such assurance. Could we therefore, in sense and justice, advise competent Negro girls over idle and until now denied employment to turn down this opportunity? Why should Negro working girls pull white working girls chestnut out of the fire? The strike of the waistmakers brings into the clearest light the issue of the Negro and the union. The union has looked upon the Negro as a bad horse. The tighter it keeps the reins drawn upon him, the better it can manage him. We do not say that the exclusion and the industrial segregation of the Negro is its primary object. But we do say that the forces of labor have been prejudiced and hostile to his industrial chance. The exceptions among them to this mean attitude are negligible. They are primarily to blame for aligning the Negro in economic and political struggles with the forces of capital. The Negro will continue to be the pivot upon which future strikes will turn so long as labor will ignore his right to work and thwart his ambition to advance in the mechanical world. The friends and leaders of labor should consider the Negro in days of prosperity as well as in those of adversity. A GREAT LITERARY LABOR. Dr. Washington says in the opening chapter of "The Story of the Negro": "In a certain way the second book, if I were able to carry out my design might be regarded as the sequel of the first, telling the story of a struggle through two and one-half centuries of slavery and during a period of something more than forty years of freedom, which had elsewhere been condensed into the limits of a single lifetime." But the Tuskegee's great new work is more than that. It is the condensed history of the Negro race from the dawn of history. But in another sense "The Story of the Negro" is a worthy sequel to "Up From Slavery. In popularity at the end of its first month's circulation, it seems destined to rival if not to outstrip the authors universally read autobiography. This is the great contribution to literature and the great service to the race which his new work renders. It is the first popular glimpse into the uncovered history of the black race The belief is almost universal that the Negro has had neither a tradition nor a history. He has never had a civilization nor a government. The Macon Telegraph thus epitomizes in a recent editorial this popular misconception. Whether the American Negro has preserved any native African music or not, he has certainly preserved no history, no language, and seemingly has not even retained any traditions of his past in the Dark Continent. This is a curious fact. The Negro seems to move beyond this country little more than his skin and has simply defined racial characteristics. The book of his past is soiled. He is like a man who has been a government. nature of what belonged to his former resting place. And in this he is curiously unlike all the other races of men of which we have record. The Negro has had a history and a tradition. He has had a civilization and a government. He has had languages and laws. In fact, he has been largely like other men. That Dr. Washington has made the reading of this fact popular makes of "The Story of the Negro" perhaps the greatest of his literary labors. THE LESSON OF BOSTON George A. Hibbard, the business candidate elected mayor of Boston to succeed John F. Fitzgerald, was turned down in last Tuesday's election, getting a total of about fifteen hundred votes. In his stead ex-Mayor Fitzgerald, representing the liberal elements, was returned to office. by the same slight plurality. James J. Storrow, the good government candidate and the candidate of the advocates of the direct primary system, was defeated. Whether or not with the fall of Storrow, at the end of a most bitter partisan campaign, there falls the system which was designed to eliminate partisan politics from municipal election, there is a clear and significant fact in the defeat of Hibbard and the re-election of Fitzgerald. Hibbard posing two years ago as the firm and faithful friend of the black man, polled nearly the entire Negro vote of the Hub He was a Republican He was the candidate of the forces of law and order As always, the Negro rallied to his standard John F. Fitzgerald stood forth in the unsavory reputation of his administration. He was a Democrat Despite the fact that he had given his Negro adherents good positions, he appealed in vain to colored citizens Mayor Hibbard during his administration gave the loyal Negroes not one whit of official consideration, not a single appointment Last Tuesday came their inning, and the returns show the way they omitted to remember him Mayor Fitzgerald owes his election to the defection of the thousands of Negroes from the Republican ranks. Not that the Negro love good government less, but like the mass of Americans he appreciates concrete consideration more. The fact that the Negroes of Boston have broken away from their ancient custom of voting the G. O. P. ticket is a happy omen of their future political power. It should be a lesson to the grand old party. The black man since slavery days has listened to surnames and pre-election promises. He has helped his fairweather friends into office, who have known him not in the days of their power. The Boston election is only a straw, but it shows the way of the wind THE BLIGHT OF LOUISVILLE. THE BLIGHT OF LOUISVILLE Following the defeat of her Republican mayor, Grinstead, and the election of a Democratic demagogue Head to office, Louisville seems to be running riot with efforts to suppress and humiliate the Negro The latest move that the enemies of the black man have made is the ordinance recently proposed in the City Council for "Jim Crow" street cars The colored citizens of Louisville, peaceful, progressive and numerous, are thoroughly aroused over the attempt to create race friction. Through their organs they have made known their opposition. In the last issue of The Kentucky Standard we read We do not know if the City Council will enact the ordinance or not. We had such an abiding faith in the love of fair play of the Louisville citizens of the city, that any man could be elected to the highest office in the gift of the people on the plea of Negro domination, yet this vory thing occurred. So we are made to believe that we may expect any man to be a slave, that owes its being to the same vicious sentiment. Yet, strange as it may seem, we are not prepared to believe that this last humiliation is to be thrust upon us. Still hoping against hope, if we come to the worst of respecting Negro will be found talking Louisville in its fair and democratic attitude, in its bustling industry and thriving commerce, has been one of the most progressive of Southern cities, but if the Louisville city government persists in provoking the opposition of her large Negro population, Mayor Head with his associates will likely prove a blight to the fair city of old Kentucky. We trust that the Negroes of Louisville will stick to their determination. It is the only weapon now left to them. As elsewhere, it will prove an effective remedy in restoring sanity A HOPELESS AMBITION A certain Negro who wants to be a leader—and yet wants it understood that he has the blood of every other race than Negro coursing through his veins—went out of his way at the Emancipation exercises at the Zion A M E Church in Brooklyn to make a brqlal and unmanly attack on Dr Bpoker T Washington. To say that Dr. Washington was a curse to the Negro race was as insulting as it was untrue. This individual can never hope to be successful until he crawls his narrow shell. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 20 1910 SURROGATE THOMAS. We have had occasion twice recently to attack the biased and unfriendly opinions of New York magistrates. Such unfit dispensers of justice in New York as Judge Dugro are the exception rather than the rule. But their decisions have gained wide advertisement through the press. Their words have been gloated over in unholy glee by the demagogues of race prejudice North and South. It is therefore that we take great pleasure in calling attention to the courageous, manly stand of Surrogate Thomas in the efforts of two brothers and a sister and Miss Margaret M. Bennett to break the will of Bridget Torpy. Bequeathing to her faithful Negro friend, James Edward Johnson, an estate of $30,000, it was a rich prize which her kin coveted. Many white people hated to see such a bequest fall to a Negro But Miss Torpy's relatives in her old and declining days had made of her life what she termed "a hell on earth." She had been employed for more than a quarter of a century alongside of an honest and industrious Negro. She had come to respect and to trust him When abused and forsaken by her relatives she naturally turned to her old Negro friend, who year in and year out provided her with a comfortable home. As Judge Thomas said, her only impropriety in this was that she had lived with a negro family. When she came to make her will she bequeathed her all to James Thomas Both in law and equity the will was valid, and Judge Thomas so decided Not that this honorable and upright judge did more than his duty But he did his full duty and he did it without flunching He deserves the plaudits of all lovers of right and justice AFTER THE NIGHT RIDERS AFTER THE NIGHT RIDERS. The best and most timely effort the administration has made for the salvation of the South to law and order and industry has been begun by its collection of evidence against the Night Riders Kentucky, Tennessee and parts of Georgia and other Southern States for several years now have been harried into a condition of chronic anarchy by bands of roving terrorists Peaceful and progressive citizens, black and white, for no other offence than making a living against the mandates of the Night Riders have been hounded to death. Millions of dollars worth of property in buildings burned and crops destroyed has been sacrificed The forces of law and the bonds of civilized life have been so broken down that the private vengeance of reconstruction days has been the rule So completely demoralized have been conditions that Governor Augustus E. Wilson of Kentucky several months ago advised all afflicted citizens to protect themselves That the federal government has found a way to stamp out this section wide lawlessness is a source of satisfaction to all interested in the welfare and future of the Southland For several months secret service agents have been almost lost in the tobacco districts Disguised as farmers they have collected evidence against not only the tobacco trust but against their agents, the Night Riders. They have found out that each county in Kentucky is divided into districts under a chief and heutenant The government now has evidence against the leaders of the 25,000 men in the society These as criminals the government will prosecute under the Sherman ant-trust law. The Night Riders' Society has been the natural offspring of the Ku-Klux Clan. It has been the most active element of Southern lynchers. It has brought fresh shame and disgrace upon the fair name of America. In its effort to stamp out night rider lawlessness the government is rendering a notable service to the South and the nation A TIMELY ORDER Mayor Gaynor's order to the police against their promiscuous clubbing of citizens will be appreciated by people of New York generally. The police have used their discretion very widely in recent years. There has been much truth in the charge of police domination. They have turned their function of protecting citizens into one of hatassing and intimidating citizens. Instead of promoting peace they have often provoked roots and law resistance. With little and in many cases no provocation they have immediately resorted to their clubs, which should be their last resort. They have beaten innocent bystanders and unoffending passers-by. They have misunderstood their mission and have become masters rather than servants of the city. As has been long and earnestly wished, Mayor Gaynor is going to change all this. He seems bent on restoring the Police Department to its rightful place of guardian of the city and protector of the people. The Mayor has instituted a needed reform. He thus deserves the thanks and best wishes of all New York. Secretary of State Knox took a long lead in proposing the neutralization of the Manhattan railroads. thereby hoping to deprive Russia and Japan nominally, but Japan actually, from domination in the northern Chinese province. But Uncle Sam reckoned without his host, for Japanese have been thinking all the time, and their Chinese cousins just refused, and thereby spoiled your Uncle Sammy's little game. CARNEGIE HALL MEETING. CARNEGIE HALL MEETING. William Jay Schieffelin, president of the Armstrong Association, under whose auspices the great Carnegie Hall meeting in behalf of Tuskegee Institute will be held Monday night, January 24, summarizes in the following few words its purpose. There should be a large representation of Negroes present to attest their interest in the foremost of American industrial schools. Dr. Schieffelin says. In order to continue and extend the work of industrial education for the Negro in the South it is necessary from time to time to appeal directly to the Negro community since any large public meeting has been held in New York in the interest of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. In the meantime the work of that school, under the leadership of Tuskegee Washington, has greatly broadened its scope and increased its practical usefulness. For one thing the school has succeeded, through its "demonstration farming," its agricultural wagon, and other educational devices, in bringing the Negro population directly to the man on the farm, so that thousands of Negro farmers in Alabama and the neighboring States of Georgia and Mississippi are now practically at school at Tuskegee. Washington through his recent educational campaigns in five different Southern States has greatly aided in arousing the interest of Southern people, black and white, in the public school education of the Negro. This work which Dr Washington is doing deserves support and should be continued EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. Ominous rumblings in the region of the White House Mr Taft has just changed his position in the Presidential chair, that's all. The Sherman Anti-Trust Law has been invoked by the Administration to break up the Night Riders. Determined governments like love, will find a way. Dr Sargent of Harvard, America's leading physical culture expert, after a thorough examination declared "Jack" Johnson to be a perfect athlete. The question is Can Jeffries be any better? The statements in the daily press to the effect that the people of New York generally will appreciate the Mayor's orders to the police against their promiscuous clubbing would seem to give a black eye to the people of New York generally. It doesn't seem as though the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy over the government's policy in the conservation of natural resources is going to end with the counting out of Mr Pinchot. But it wouldn't be fair play for the latter's friends to put the winded Mr Ballinger out just now Ten thousand Negroes gathered in conference at Iuka, Mississippi, endorsed the prohibition laws of the Southern States, and then pleaded with the white race, which is referred to as "our friends," to prevent lynching. The South is making the Negro a pollying, sober-witted and tactful diplomat. Secretary Dickinson at a banquet in Havana prophesied that after President Taft has served out his two terms a free trade Democrat will be elected President Of course Mr Dickinson didn't refer to William Jennings Bryan, and he didn't have Col Roosevelt in mind, and yet he was serious, which leads us to ask just what bad spirits the secretary was laboring under. Governor Corothers of Maryland in his message to the State Legislature again clamored for the disfranchisement of the Negro, and declared that the last two elections had not expressed the sovereign will of the people.

WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY And now it is reported that the Bureau of the Census daily is becoming more and more excited over the fate of the persons nominated to be census supervisors for the enumeration that will be begun in a month already the President has sent to the Senate the names of more than 330 supervisors, but so far not a single name has been confirmed. The Follette is chairman of the Committee on the Census, to which the names were referred, and in the failure of that committee to take any action is seen the leading "Insurgent's" revenge on the Administration for the names that had in his recommendations respected in his State--The Philadelphia Tribune Now that the Negro people will be represented in the 1910 census program by Negro enumerators, there will be no difficulties met with to defeat the accurate gathering of census facts among them. Some years ago in 1908, the Government had unsatisfactory results in getting religious statistics and information regarding religious denominations among the Negroes for making up its population. The Government to do the work Negroes. For instance the late E. E. Cooper, of Washington, D.C. was appointed and traveled throughout the South for that purpose, otherwise the Government could not have procured the religious statistics it wanted. The Negro people merely contend for the body politic of American citizenship, only this, and nothing more—The National Baptist Review. It is hard to resist the temptation to become famous, especially when the giddy heights can be reached by such a cheap clap-trap as give spice to personal or racial abuse. Years ago, when Vanderbilt said "Damn the public," the changes were rung down on it by the journals of the country or nearby a cheap clap-trap on the public begin to damn Vanderbilt, and he and his vile expression disappeared from public discussion and concern. "Tillman and his 'sand cure' for Negroes has now about reached its skyrocket end. Vardaman and his 'coconut-headed Negro,' and Governor Davls' howl about spoiling a field hand in the education or a car can hurt them. The race theories will be wrapped in the winding sheet of public detestation—The St. Louis Advance --- The country has completely recovered from its financial slump and every barometer points to an unusual commercial expansion. Everyone, from the business owner upon this year's work with new hopes and aspirations, with greater determination to do more this year than ever before. "It is a good time to take possession of the life balance sheet, to take a fresh start." Every Negro should resolve that this year he will spend less than he earns, that he will start a bank account to save for his retirement, that he will begin to buy a home for himself and family. —The Mountain Leader "On December 30, 1809, the city of Cairo, IL, renewed the offer of one thousand dollars for information leading to the arrest and conviction of persons implicated in the murder of Miss Anna Pelly," for which an Afro-American was hired as murderer. This ward was offered "with the hope of securing certain information claimed to be in the possession of anonymous informants and to induce any person who may know the facts regarding the murder. What a light this throw upon an anarchist, known as lynch law, but more correctly termed lynch-murder. No matter what the outcome may be—though it would not be the first time the wrong man was lynched—it is not time for the white man's press, public opinion, to be brutally struck at the strong arm of the law." The Cleveland Gazette. It is a singular commentary on the simplest problems of American life, the nothing but problem has been resolved difficult of solution. The Negro problem and its intricate and numerous problems in public and private affairs. In reality, the problem led itself to the question as to what this remination between men should be like in the face of color. That and that alone is the issue and the question answered one way remains the problem from American society to the other, why increases their complexity. The South with many notable exceptions says we cannot be dominated by a slave or slave and crime and almost of these cases are found among the Negroes we will deny to the whole race and to all who are in the least trusted with their blood and power recognition.

NAME ADDRESS THE RISE OF THE RACE There are a good many people who say they do not agree with the teachings of Booker T Washington Sometimes they say this when they do not know what his teachings are. Whether they agree or disagree, however, every man who has read his new history of the Negro will confess, if he is honest, that War was a great great service for his race when he wrote the book just published by Doubleday, Page & Co., entitled, "The Story of the Negro." Much that Dr. Washington has written hitherto has been written for others, but this book was written for the Negro. It is safe to say, that the two volumes, of four hundred pages each, which make up this latest history of the race, contain more detailed information, mention more individuals and touch more intimately a larger number of people of the Negro race than all the other books ever written. As an illustration of the number of topics discussed and the number of names mentioned, there are more than two thousand items in the index of the book. This index is a regular encyclopedia of the Negro race. It is great service to have, in so narrow a compass, such an immense number of facts about black people as this book contains. Aside from that, this book is written in a simple, interesting, narrative style. Dr. Washington does well to call his history "The Story of the Negro". In fact, the history of the Negro in America is a romance, or rather it is an epic, which includes a mass of romantic details. We have been so long in the habit of reading about the Negro race in the census reports or in the pamphlets of political agitators that some of us have come to believe that the history of the Negro in America is merely an incident of a political controversy. We do not realize that in the tales we have heard our fathers and mothers tell, sitting about the fireside, offer the material for a great world-story. Inspired by this conception, Dr. Washington has written a book which, in spite of the vast amount of concrete facts it contains is an enlightened story. These are a bright out in the first volume in regard to the Negro in Africa; facts which show the life of the Negro in his native environment to be something entirely different from what he had been taught to believe. Four chapters are devoted to the Negro of Africa; eleven more tell the story of the Negro in slavery times. The headings of these chapters suggest the contents of that portion of the book They are "The First and Last Slave Ship" "The First Slaves" "The Indian and the Negro" "The Negro's Life in Slavery." "Slave Insurrection and the Negro" "Petal." The first volume deals with the Negro in Africa and in slavery. The second is entirely devoted to the record of the progress of the Negro since Emancipation Many curious facts are brought out. "The Free Negro in Slavery Days" "Fugitive Slaves" "Negro Settlements in the Northwest Territory." "The Negro Preacher and the Negro Church." "The Negro Abolitionists" "The Negro Soldier's Fight for Freedom" Several of these chapters have already been published in advance in the Outlook, but there are altogether thirty-three chapters in the two volumes and the articles already published gave only a very inadequate idea of the vast amount of material that Dr Washington has collected to make this book. The second volume deals with the history of the Negro since the Civil War. Every phase of the present-day life of the colored people is described. Dr Washington has gathered incidents and lots of personal history from every part of the country and the amount and variety of the Negro countries in all of the United States, and even those who thought they knew most about the Negro. It is the first time the world has a chance to get a broad comprehensive view of what the ten millions of people in this country has written within a nation are doing. No one has done more than Mr. Washington to make the world respect the Negro; no one has done more, for that matter, to make the Negro respect himself. In no other way, however, his Dr. Washington does much to make the Negro respected not only by others, but by the members of his own race as in this book. *His Story of the Negro.* THE NAME OF THE AGE Best As It Is, Soays Editor Ashurz To the Editor of The New York Age To the Litor of the New York Age Referring to your intention of changing the name of the New York Age" to the New York Negro Age" The New York chared Age" or New York Mfr. America Age" I would that the Age" has become so well known and powerful and its present name that I would heatate to make any change at all. Of the three names suggested for the change I favor the Negro Age. The word NEGRO in the New York Age" this country, represents all persons who have Negro blood in their veins. The word COLORED, except in certain States where it has been legally defined, means nothing. The word AMERICAN, if it means anything, means Americans of African descent. As we all know, there are very many Africans who are not Negroes and one might therefore be an Afro-American and in no way connected with the race. The present name, "New York Age," stands for the highest tier of Negro journalism and would not change it. Very respectfully, J. A. ASBURY. Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. 1, 1910. BISHOP PETER F. STEVENS A Worker Among the Lowly and the Great, the Boss Counter. The death of Bishop Stevens is a distinct loss to South Carolina. To the people of this State he dedicated his life, and, what was more, his heart. A graduate of the South Carolina Military Academy, he served with honor in the Confederate army. It was at his command that the Citadel cadets fired the first shot in the War Between the States. After the war he served his people both as teacher and minister. When the Reformed Episcopal Church was organized he espoused it warmly. Thereafter his work was to be largely among the Negroes, but so earnest was his effort, so unpretentious the man himself, so wholly sincere, that he never lost his influence over the white people, who honored him, because he followed faithfully wher his belief led him. For years he labored to uplift those most in need of help, and many a church bears witness to the success of his labors. He will be carried to his last resting place by men of that race to which he devoted so large a part of his life. The lowly will miss him, perhaps, more than the rich, but everywhere in this community and this State his absence will be felt. In his later years he was blind, but he bore this inflection with the same heroism that had characterized his life from its earliest years. He did not come fully. The influence of such a man wider than his presence. In these qualities which all men admire—stand fastness, devotion to duty, sincerity, humility, charity, unselfishness—he excelled. The loss to his Church is not greater than the loss to the whole people among whom he lived and labored—The Charleston News and Courler. A BRITISH COLORED CITIZEN. The Experiences of a Hindu Gentleman in South Africa. Apparently to the average colonial mind a highly educated Hindu gentleman, a British subject, a barrister of the Inner Temple, is identical with a coolie. He is regarded as a "migger" is regarded in Carolina, and the British Government is incapable of protecting him against the treatment which in a less civilized place is the natural result of such a view. Mr. Gandhi first went over to South Africa to conduct an important lawsuit in 1893. His earliest experience was to be turned out of a first class railway car and ordered into the "van compartment," and when he took the stage coach he was knocked down by the driver (a Dutchman). He was not admitted to the Grand National Hotel at Johannesburg and was kicked off the path in front of President Kruger's house by the sentry. In Natal he found the Ministry embarking on a campaign of disabling bills against native Indians, and here he started on what may be called his political career as the leader of the Indian community in South Africa or his return from India, whither he had proceeded to fetch his wife and children, a mob of three thousand persons presented the ships for some time thus loading their Indian passengers in Burhan. During the war Mr Gandhi organized the corps of Indian stretcher officers which tendered fine service to Spain, Kop and elsewhere. This spans the volunteer work might well have been the beginning of better relations between colonists and Indians. The new English administrators were so impressed by the Insultor's conduct that law was passed and he will under protest and the police to cease it was then broken. During the phone call of Mr. and the Zulu ruler of 1996 Gandhi and other Italians were of great assistance, but that did not receive a better treatment in consequence. The have since entered in a campaign of passive resistance. This is Mr. Gandhi's two sentences in two months' imprisonment among the so-called rebels, white-collar which the colony can produce. Some of his experiences in prison have been quotation. What most belonged in India of such treatment of a white-colony of a refined and well educated man whose father, grandfather, uncle were Prime Ministers at courts and who is only resistant to imposed contrary to the solemnise of the late High Commission.

As the election over, however, the voters are not much attention to the Sun's radpolicy of the interviews recently published in that paper purported to be the ones on the Fifteenth Amendment expired by William L. Marbury. While reviews expressed on the subject are given serious consideration, your dependent deems it opportune to be Mr. Marbury in order to show what extent an endeavor is being made to crystallize sentiment against the pro voters. The interview. I am satisfied that no amendment can possibly be carried which gives any cause, apparent or real, for the fear that it might disfrain white men. But in order to exclude such a fear the amendment must be so framed as to apply to the colored people only. Now, such a measure will unobstructed, and a direct challenge of the validity of the Fifteenth Amendment, even though it be not in conflict with that amendment as properly understood Speaking for myself alone, I would not hesitate to support a suffrage amendment which did directly challenge the Fifteenth Amendment, so called for the real result of what I think I can say has been a careful study of the question, that the Fifteenth Amendment itself is not and never has been validly a part of the Constitution. I believe that the Supreme Court of the United States will feel constrained to declare it void whenever the issue is squarely presented to that great tribunal. But this is only my own opinion. It is true that it is an opinion which I believe is shared by one or perhaps two lawyers of the high court in thorough investigation of my study. It would be idle to any, however, or attempt to conceal from ourselves the fact that this opinion is not held by the bag of truth that any general acceptance among lawyers at this time I believe that the reason is that very few lawyers have ever had occasion to give the matter serious study or investigation, and I enterenloudly into the question: do they do many of them will reach the same conclusion which I have reached. No legal opinion on this question is of any value which is given to me in any investigation, no matter how able the lawyer may be who gives it. Validity of Fifteenth Amendment Now, it is not to be expected and certainly I am not vain enough to expect that the people of this State will accept my opinion unsupported by the opinion of others question of such grave moment of such grave national character, therefore I tell that before any such amendment is submitted the members of the Legislature should endeavor to induce a sufficient body of the legal profession to examine this question to make sure that they have the right equipment for the people Whether there is the right before the expiration of the present session to do this I am not in posi- tion to determine Perhaps I may be permitted, however, in justice to myself, to state in a word what my position is in question of the validity of the Fifteenth Amendment of the course. I cannot pretend to go into the details of the process by which I have reached the conclusion, but it is substantially that the validity of the Fifteenth Amendment has been established and in the absence of challenge, with the least inevitable for the purpose of the case, but so far for I have been able to discover no case yet being before that court in the great question was presented. In the worth observing too brief description of the Fifteenth Amendment, but still and void would not be the least effect at this point in the political completion of the course as a whole. It would simply be a recognition to conditions. that in a short time it human probability is struggling of the solid tariff on other issues, and solid gold waste, and solid oil waste, and political will rims in man undisturbed In State Constitution, the intention to be made the Constitution is the Grant Amendment in the word white in Missouri Constitution we have never constitution since since although most wars and Messrs position in the word white out position in the word white out position in the degree of the called black wars and Messrs wars extended the full weight satisfied these things only showing the im- pilation and care- pro and con, on members of the they shall act in Dr. Mason Spokes Under Auxiles of Negro Fellowship League. Special to The New York Am. Chicago, Ill., Jan. 19.—There was a tremendous outpouring of Chicago citizens to listen to an address delivered by Dr. M. C. B. Mason of the M. E. Church on last Sunday afternoon, January 1 under the auspices of the "Negro Fellowship League. Dr. Mason faces an audience that filled every nook and corner of the Institutional Church. Mrs. F. L. Barnett presided and the pulpit platform was filled with many' of Chicago's prominent citizens. Dr. Mason spoke on the subject, "The Second Emancipation." In a graphic and interesting manner he described the stirring events attending the first emancipation and of the second emancipation now in process of development he spoke strongly, emphasizing our opportunities, duties and responsibilities. Dr. Mason did not forget to exalt Negro womanhood. The Negro man who betrays her, lives in well dressed idleness on her earnings, makes her the prey of his greed and low passions, was excoriated without mercy. The speaker also gave some wholesome advice and warnings to the man who follows the prey of the greed. He too many cases the men regard the saloon business as a legitimate occupation to be proud of. It was a brave and wholesome talk and altogether timely. The most interesting social event of the week was the marriage on January 13, of Miss Daisy Hunter, of Nashville, Tenn., to Dr Spencer Dickerson, of Chicago. Ill. The marriage was a quiet one. Mrs. Hunter, the mother of the bride, came from Nashville to be present and during her stay in the city was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. George C.

Huntsville Va. Jan. 19 — The Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes, founded by the late Prof William H Council, and for more than thirty years one of the most potent factors in the development of the Negroes of the South is taking on new life and bads fur to continue the good work it has done for the South generally under the management of its new president, Prof Walter S. Buchanan. Prof Buchanan is a young man, a graduate from Tuskegee Institute, and also from Lloyd Training School of Boston, and Harvard University. He is thoroughly in sympathy with Southern conditions and understands the true relation of the white and colored races. The enrollment of the institution this year is greater than ever before, the same extensive and intensive work in the industries is being carried on. "We must have our young people realize now that the demand of the South is for skilled labor," says Prof. Buchanan, and in all his teaching, he places emphasis upon this important consideration: the need to miss the people of the state, which seem to feel that in the selection of Prof. Buchanan, the work so well begun by Prof Council will be pushed to a satisfactory conclusion. Teachers' Bureau at Howard. Special to The New York Age. Washington, D. C., Jan 18—The Board of Trustees of Trustees of Harvard University have established the teachers' employment bureau as the outcome of numerous inquiries from year to year for high-grade professional teachers to take positions in the several departments of school work, from the kindergarten to the college. The central location of the university at the national capital, its acknowledged leadership in educational work among the colored people, its large facilities for receiving and giving exact information as to the equipment of teachers and general school work, led the trustees to take this step toward making this university a central distributing agency for teachers in the colored schools. The design of the bureau is to secure employment for the graduates of this and other universities whose experience in teaching and whose experience for the special work of teaching will ususify us in recommending them.

JACOB GRIFFITH, Metropolitan Bldg, 46th St. & 8th Ave. nov 25-3m MUSIC AND THE STAGE EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON THEATRICAL COMMENT IT is presumed that every colored citizen deeply deplores all race disturbances no matter in what section of the country they occur. However, as a rule the colored performer is more or less affected by these spasmodic outbreaks than other members of the race. If the trouble takes place in the North or West quite often many ebony thespians are temporarily thrown out of employment, and the town which has been the scene of racial conflict at once becomes a "C. Q. D." sign to colored show people for some time to come When the race not occurred in Springfield, Ill, last year The Red Moon Company was booked to play in the city the following week Sam Corker, Jr., business manager of the company, realizing that it would be folly to take the show to Springfield, wired to New York, asking that Stair and Hawlin forward instructions what to do. A prompt reply was received to keep clear of Springfield, that new booking was being arranged, the dates to follow. It did not require much persuasion to induce Cole and Johnson to cancel Springfield This season the show played in the same city and did a good business In the case of The Red Moon Company the switching of dates did not mean a big pecuniary loss, but the vaudevillian is usually affected differently as can be vouched for by Leon Williams, president of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association. This week his act—the Dixie Serenaders—has been compelled to lay off on account of trouble in Reading, Pa. Last Sunday evening the act had finished its week's engagement at the Fifth Avenue Theatre and the members were preparing to go to Reading when Leon Williams received a special delivery from Booking Agent Sutherland informing him that the act had been cancelled. The letter, which also implied to those in the act that there would be a week's vacation in store, read as follows: New York City, Jan 16, 1910 Dear Mr. Williams I have had bad news about Reading next week. A colored man there shot one of the prominent men in Reading last night, and as a result the whole town is up in arms against the colored race. The Mayor has advised the theatrical managers not to have any colored performers until this thing blows over, as it would be dangerous for them to appear on the stage. I regret this very much, but you can no doubt see the good sense of the argument. Yours very truly. ALBERT SUTHERLAND Prominent Whites Act as Users for Negroes. Southern ethics and customs were given a solar plexus during the engagement of the Black Patti Musical Comedy Company at the Jefferson Theatre, St Augustine, Fla, one evening last week, when wealthy white citizens, directors of the playhouse, served as ushers and directed the colored patrons to their seats in the orchestra. The Jefferson Theatre was opened last fall and the new structure, which is the best theatre in St. Augustine, is said to have cost $100,000. The Black Patti Musical Comedy Company was the first colored show to play at the Jefferson, and the management decided to deviate from the usual seating policy and allot the orchestra to the colored and the first balcony to the white theatre-goers. This consideration was shown the colored citizens on account of the Black Patti Musical Comedy Company being a colored theatrical organization But in resolving to make such a radical departure, the management had failed to take the white ushers into consideration. When these knights of the seat check learned that colored people would occupy the first floor they turned so many colors that their faces, for a few minutes, rivaled the rainbow for diversity. In a body they went to the management and drew a horrifying picture of how the seating of Negroes in the orchestra would mean the degeneracy of Southern traditions, but a deaf ear was turned to their entreaties. On the evening the Black Path Musical Comedy Company played at the Jefferson Theatre there was not a regular usher to be found. They had done a neat disguising act rather than seat the coloured patrons in the orchestra. For a short time the management was in a dilemma as to how to seat the people. The members of the director's board were summoned and the true state of affairs explained. Someone declared that the only thing to do was for each member to serve in the capacity of usher, and after more discussion the plan was agreed upon. Thus the unusual spectacle of some of the leading men of St Augustine leading the colored people of the city to seats on the first floor was presented, and from all accounts there was some little embarrassment on all sides. However, the directors were game and did not quit work until every seat on the first floor was occupied. The occasion was made more memorable to the directors because the house did the largest business since the opening night. It is not necessary to state that the striking ushers are now looking for new jobs. The St. Augustine Evening Record in its review of "A Trip to Africa" makes special mention of colored citizen sliders on the first floor and the whites in the balcony, commenting in part as follows Ever pleasing, especially to the members of her race, Black Patti and her musical comedy company delighted a colored audience that packed the Jefferson Theatre last night. The orchestra was given up to the colored people, and both it and the gallery were crowded. The balcony was filled with white people. It was an appreciative an audience as will ever be seen in the Jefferson, for to the members of her race Black Patti stands at the very head of her profession. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE. MR.

"RED MOON'S RAYS" Chicago, IL. Jan 17 This is the Red Moon third album to Chicago. When the studio musical comedy opened its engagement at the National Theatre Sunday for the first time by an extremely successful and well-known matinee which allowed its approval at every line and fun situation in the big reception given Cole and Johnson on their first entrance clearly demonstrates that they are popular favorites with Chicago playwrights. Closely following Cole and Johnson a long favorite is Alain Cerveton Walker in *Planning Hays Phantom Brown* and her dance *Wild Fire*. Be Wolf Hopper is appearing in a play called *A Matinee Idol*, but Master Edgar Connors is the real matinee Idol, playing *Simber* Cole and Johnson's *Red Moon Company*. Daisy Brown has rejoined the Red Moon Company after being absent for three weeks on a tour of Illinois. It seems a bit early to be talking of Giant who will capture the City and Jim team this season be careful, nearing a system of signs for use this coming year. During the Detroit Chicago engagement of the Red Moon Company, Prof. H. Lawrence Freeman is being visited by his wife Carlotta and their son Waldo Mrs. Freeman to the possession of a well trained soprano voice. In Chicago much curiosity is being manifested as to the names and nature of the two shows to be written by Cole and Johnson for the coming season for Cole and Johnson and Aldo O. Walker. Anyway, its a safe bet that the public will put the stamp of approval upon anything turned out by Cole and Johnson and their co-workers. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 10. 1910.

So much so that a London theatrical promoter bought the lease of Kraton and Booker a few weeks ago for a neat sum. W H.

Broome of the Broome Exhibition Company, Bostone Mass, gave a private moving picture exhibition at which forty-three subjects, depicting scenes at Tuskegee Institute, were thrown upon the screen. Among those present and who pronounced the exhibition satisfactory were Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute and Dr Robert L. Park. It is the intention of the Broome Exhibition Company to show the industrial progress of the Negro along industrial lines by means of moving pictures. Among the well-known institutions to be given consideration in the future will be Humpton Lask and Shaw MOVING PICTURES OF TUSKEGEE Several years ago during a journey through the Southern States former President Roosevelt visited Booker I Washington's school at Luskegee, N.Y. The time allowed for his stay at Luskegee was brief. He was expected to make a speech to the students and country folk and it was feared that he would have little time to see the work of the students which is spread out over 2,400 acres of land. To circumvent this difficulty the Luskegee people adopted a novel experiment they got together several hundred wagons loaded a large part of the school upon them—enough at any rate to show all the thirty-seven different industries as well as the other departments of the Institutes work—and hauled them in procession before a reviewing stand which had been erected for Mr Roosevelt and his party. It has long been one of the problems of the Luskegee Institute in its effort to interest the public in its work to find some method of showing people a thou- sand miles away just what the school is actually doing and what industrial education, as Booker I. Washington con- ceives it means. This year a new method of solving this problem has been adopted. At the public meeting to be held January 21, at Carnegie Hall, it is planned to bring the work of the school home to a New York audience by showing it in the form of moving pictures. By this means it will be possible to show students at work in the fields, planting, plowing, milking, working in the dairy, building roads, as well as pictures showing the whole body of sixteen hundred students in motion, marching to chapel all in life size moving pictures. Plans Originated in Boston. The plans to put Tuskegee into a moving picture show did not originate at Tuskegee, however, but in Boston, Mass. A group of Negro business men in that city recently organized a company to distant moving pictures to Ne- gro audiences throughout the country. They conceived the idea that it would be a good thing, as well as a paying investment, to produce some pictures that would show colored people what colored people are doing. One of these series of pictures shows, for example, the cotton industry—a thing in which, in one way or another, the great majority of the Negroes of this country are engaged. Another series will show the Tenth Cavalry—the crack Negro regiment, now located at Fort Ethan Allen, in Vermont. The most successful picture thus far, however, are those which show the great Negro industrial school at Tuskegee in action. The Tuskegee school has been a great subject of contention among colored people, particularly in the North Many of them have believed that a school which taught Negroes to work was going to be an obstacle to the higher education of the races. The people who have been most opposed to the work of Tuskegee Institute, however, have usually been those who know least about it. It has been the plan of this company to send its pictures about the country and show them in colored churches. They have thus performed an important educational work among the masses of the Negro people, because the pictures of what the school is actually doing are the best argument that can be made in its favor, and it is important to the success of the work that Dr. Washington is trying to do that all the colored people, as well as all of the white people, should understand, appreciate and cheer for the big and novel educational experiment he has undertaken for the masses of his race. The pictures will be shown for the first time in New York at a meeting in the interest of Tuskegee at Carnegie Hall, Monday, January 24. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BY LESTER A. WALTON Relative Physical Condition of Johnson and Jeffries. THERE are a number of white writers who are wasting much ink nowadays trying to show the public that Champion Jackson is living such a rottous life that when he meets Jeffries next July he will be easy picking for the ex-champion—a regular infant in arms. Recent examinations of the champion by physical experts, however, show that Johnson is in the best of condition, and, aside from materially helping to increase the net earnings of the Standard Oil Company—his gasoline bills for his automobile being very large—the champion is doing nothing alarming that would indicate he is not the Johnson of yore. Of late a number of well-known experts have stamped their O K on Johnson's physical condition. Even Theodore Roosevelt, although chasing wild game in Africa, has evinced a keen interest in the Johnson-Jeffries bout, and in declaring Johnson to be a first-class fighter expresses doubt as to the ability of Jeffries to get back into form. Only a few days ago Tommy Ryan, well known in pugilistic circles, gave out the following interview Jeff isn't any kid any more and has been out of the ring for a good many years. In his last two big fights he fought men who were rapidly going back. In both of the battles with Corbett the latter was not the real Corbett "Gentleman Jim's" last good bout was against Fitzsimmons at Carson City, and even then I think he was past his best period Jeff's first battle with Fitzsimmons was his greatest. The second time they fought Jeff met a "has been," for Fitz was well on the toboggan road For this reason it is hard to Judge Jeff, but one thing is certain he will find it a herculean task to get into the condition he maintained while in active service. For myself I don't think he ever can I could come back and box six rounds just like I used to do and have everything I had then, but you can't all for me What is the use of saying you can run two miles when you know you couldn't go one? Of course Jeff might fool them, but only the fight will show that. I saw the pictures of the Johnson-Ketchel fight, and that contest certainly was fierce. It looked as if the Negro was fighting an infant. I believe he could have knocked out Ketchel in one round if he wanted to. He was posing all the way out when he got ready in the twelfth round he finished the job in a hurry. Johnson didn't show that he was much of a fighter for he didn't have the opposition to bring that out. His footwork certainly looked bad for him, but he was tough to touch how did it feel to kill him only after the host's kick of little. Gobert says I took a few any left hand that will still dent a toe. Well say it for me that Negro has a good left and it is likely to duck in left and end up before the fight is over. While on Combat duty the man was assigned the chief of arm went through the trench tests rem of Harvard athletic. He was through the point test for those back muscles in the muscles. He Dullle Sergeant the physicist. He he studied the thes and the math and studied the weights establishing record of 15 points according to the Sergeant's system. At the close of the test Dr. Sergeant said that Johns was one of the strongest and most portent men he had ever examined and had made the highest record of any pupil that had come under his notice. Johnson has the force of a trim hammer on his arms and the physiian and so will have he developed his right arm that it is two thirds stronger than his left. When I first saw him I thought that he was too strong in his arms and lacked for his legs, but on examining them I found that his legs were also well developed and much stronger than those of most so-called strong men that I have examined. I found that he was tough enough for a careful course of training in order to produce these results. I am certain that he may could have attained such a record without following a careful and thorough course of training. MARION SCHOOL OF MUSIC WILL MARION COOK, Director HARRY T.

Y. M. C. A. Enthusiasm Grows—Great Religious Revival—Howard Memorial Meeting. Regular Correspondence of The Asn. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 18—William Carmichael, one of the leading chauffeurs, has opened an automobile school at 107 Lambert street, East End. Mr. Carmichael teaches everything about automobiles and is much pleased with his success of only a few months' trial of a new business. A mass meeting under the auspices of the provisional association of the Y. M. C. A. for Negroes was held at John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church last Sunday. W. A. Hunton, international secretary of the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. of N. A.; Thomas L. Taylor, secretary of a branch for colored men in Indianapolis, and E. R. Sams, president of the Pilgrim Bible Class, this city, were the speakers. All spoke of the need of a branch for Negroes, and expressed hopes that Negroes would accept the offers made by the Y. M. C. A., which would be a guarantee that they would soon have a building The first important move was made at a banquet when the professional and business men endorsed it, after which a number of preachers were invited to J T. Wrett's catering establishment, 209 Fourth avenue. After several speeches the pastors pledged their support. Headquarters for the Negroes have been opened at Wylie avenue and Townsend street. It is the consensus of opinion of all that it is only a question of a few months when Pittsburgh will have a colored branch of the Y. M C A. One of the most impressive religious scenes recently witnessed here was seen at 10 45 p. m. Thursday on Wylie avenue. This was the second week of the great union revival started by Bethel A. M. E. St. Paul A. M. E., John Wesley A. M. E. Zion and Plymouth Congregational churches. Last Thursday night fully three hundred women and men, representing Pittsburg's best families, marched from John Wesley Church on Wylie avenue to Fulton, thence through the red light districts, singing as they marched—"Where He Leads Me, I Will Follow" Revs. C. P. Herrington, W. L. Lee, S. A. Virgil, P. E. Mills and W. H. Price, pastors of St. Paul, John Wesley, Warren M. E. Bethel and Plymouth churches, respectively, led the line of march. The inclementy of the weather added much to the impressiveness of the occasion. Hail, snow and rain made it difficult for pedestrians to go about, but in the midst of it all, the fine soprano voice of Mrs. K. C. Stuart and those of hundreds of other Christian, self-sacrificing women and men made an impression that will never be forgotten by those who saw it. After singing and praying in a red light district, followed by women and men who left their places of sin—crying "What must we do to be saved?" the procession marched to Bethel, where several conversions were reported. At 12:45 the congregation was dismissed with earnest appeals from the pulpit to meet at 3 o'clock the next day. Rev. W. H Price, a graduate from Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., is perhaps the youngest preacher in Pennsylvania. Rev. Price came to the city about a year ago as pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church. He said as long as these meetings last they will be conducted from one of the five churches under whose auspices the revival is held. "We have no hall," he continued, "at which to meet permanently and not wishing to be accused of working in the interest of any one church is the reason we decided on present plans. We are after saving souls and not to work in the interest of any denomination." Howard University of Washington, D. C., was brought prominently before Pittsburgers at Trinity Congregational Church last Monday night in a large memorial meeting to General O. O Howard, founder of Howard. The memorial held here was the same held in various cities, where a sufficient number of graduates are located. Every department of Howard University is represented by graduates in Pittsburg, the majority of whom are creditably following their profession. Among these Attorney J Wifred Holmes and Dr. J. B Shepard occupy a place in the front rank of their profession. In addition to has comfortable income from the practice of Law, Mr. Holmes is furnishing employment to three young men as clerks in a very up-to-date drug store of which he is proprietor Rev Scott Wood graduated from the law department of Howard Believing he could render better service to humanity. Rev Wood chose the ministry as his life work. St Augustines Mission this city of which he is the priest in charge, is an example of his perseverance and success in his well-chosen field of labor. This mission was organized in 1905, with ten communicals, in permanent place of worship, no money and only eight children in the Sunday school. During the last four years the membership has been increased to 135, 65 pupils in the Sunday school, with an average attendance of 400 individuals and families to the services which are always interesting and helpful. The valuation of the missions property is $7,000, and 28 persons have been presented to the bishop for confirmation. Every Christmas and Thanksgiving the mission makes donations to the poor. Rev Wood has resumed his settlement work, for which he has opened a house at 80 Fulton street. Rev J S Lee, the pastor of the church in which the exercises were held, came to the city several years ago as pastor of Bethel A M E Church; at that time he was regarded as one of the most powerful and scholarly men of that connection After filling the pulpit of Bethel with credit to himself and church, Rev Lee withdrew from the whole connection and founded an independent congregational church, which he christened Trinity and which is regarded as one of our leading churches. Within three years the Rev. Lee has erected a church that would be creditable to a much older congregation. His congregation is representative from every viewpoint, and many are the regrets that the A. M. E. Church lost the services of a man so valued. Dr. James A. Page came to the city a little over three years ago, and has built up a practice sufficiently lucrative to justify the assertion that he made no mistake in locating here. This is a brief story of the uplifting work in which some of the Howard University graduates are engaged in this city. It has been a long time since Pittsburgers have been entertained with a program so replete with men who are workers for our uplift as was the following Music, by the choir; invocation, Rev M B. Lanier, pastor Grace Memorial Presbyterian Church; music—contralto solo, Miss Blanche Johnson; remarks, J. Welfred Holmes, L.L. B; address—"General O. O. Howard," James A. Page, M.

J., Jan. 18—For some time there has been talk of a new building being erected by Mt. Olive Baptist Church, and evidently few took it for granted that it would come to pass as soon as it probably will. Just now the pastor, Rev. M. W. Vaughan, and his congregation have under consideration the building of their new edifice, the plans and specifications for which are complete. Accordingly the new church will be one of the finest colored churches in this section. It will be erected on the present site, corner of West Third and Liberty streets. The plans are very unique; the exterior will be of brownstone and concrete. Work will probably begin in the spring. Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church has announced its intention of preparing for their spring fair. A meeting was called for Tuesday, January 18. The reports read by the secretaries of the various auxiliaries to the church and of the Sunday School at the last quarterly meeting show that Mt. Zion is standing strong. She shows no signs of decline. The pastor, Rev. J. T. Diggs, is doing a great work. Calvary Baptist Church has been open to revivals for the past week. Rev. G. W. Bailey is conducting the meetings with occasional assistance from out of town. The Sunday School is improving steadily under its leader, Lewis Booket. Shiloh has the attention of Rev. E. W. Roberts, present pastor at Roselle, N. J., who will take charge some time in March. The church is steadily growing. The Plainfield Lyceum held its regular fortnightly meeting at Shiloh Baptist Church on last Sunday. A short but splendid program was rendered which was very pleasing in its entirety. The feature of the meeting was the singing of a trio from the boys' quartet, consisting of Master Fred Vaughn, Ralph Green and Gerard Nelson. Miss Anna Davidson read a very interesting and instructive paper. The next meeting will be held at Shiloh on Sunday, January 30. The Nonpariel Social Club gave a smoker on last Saturday night at its meeting rooms, Front street, during which plans were discussed and preparations were made for their annual ball to be given on February 10 at Sangerburd Hall. Mrs. Georgia Estelle and Mrs. Eva Brittan, both of Saratoga, were recent visitors to Plainfield. Peter Peterson, an aged and respected resident and citizen of Perth Amboy, died on January 4 at his late residence, 175 Elm street, in his eightieth year Death was sudden, occurring as a shock from the notice he received of the death of his niece, Miss Jane R. Johnson, familiarly known as "Jennie" to whom he was devoted and who died on the morning of January 4. Mr Peterson was formerly a resident of New York City and on moving to Perth Amboy he began business, keeping a restaurant and boarding house, in which capacity he was employed to his death He was a brother of Thomas Peterson, who it was said was the first Negro voter in the United States after the Emancipation Proclamation and who received a gold medal accordingly He was also a brother to Lewis Peterson of Plantfield, residing at 517 East Third street. Mr Peterson leaves a widow and one son, Thomas Peterson, also a brother, whose name is Nelson Peterson. The funeral services were held at his late residence. The remains were bid to rest at the Presbyteran Cemetery in the city's plot. Mrs. Matte Furman, of 538 West Fourth street, through the columns of The Ace hopes to find her brother, Alfred Jackson, who when last seen was a porter in Wagner's Palace Car Company, running from Orlando, Fla., in 1889.

Regular Correspondence of Two AoS. Paterson, N. J., Jan. 18—The funeral services over the remains of Seldon J. Amos were held in St. Augustine Presbyterian Church Wednesday afternoon, January 12. His death occurred in the aPterson General Hospital. At the services Rev. E. F. Eggleston was assisted by several visiting clergymen, nine of whom were present as follows: Revs C. H Trusty, of Jersey City; Jas E. Carlisle, of Troy, N. Y.; Horace G. Miller, of New York City; Byron Gunner and J A. Caldwell, of Hillburn, N Y; S J. P Hood, of East Orange, and W H Batchellar and J H. Randolph, of Paterson. The arrangements for the funeral were in charge of Undertaker James E. Churchman and interment was made in the family plot in Laurel Grove Cemetery. Floral pieces were received as follows: A wreath each from his teacher and classmates of Grammar School No. 6; one from his Sabbath School and another from the officers of St. Augustine Church, of which he was a member. Other persons sending floral pieces were Mr. and Mrs. Wesley McKinney, W. C Monroe, Willie Green, Mrs. Wm. Flanigan and Miss Sarah Waterford, Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Batchellar, Mrs. J. H. Dempsey, Mrs. Enla Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. John V. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Hinton, Mrs. Mary Hart. The deceased was the son of Rev. Thomas H. Jr., and Ida B. Amos. He was born in Abbeville, S. C. July 21, 1907. He united with the church at the age of ten years, and was aspiring to the ministry. He first showed symptoms of tubercular ailment in October, but was not thought to be seriously affected until the disease was located in his abdomen. When this was discovered he was hastened to the hospital for an operation, but did not appear strong enough to undergo what was necessary. He very meekly gave up hope of getting well and very gently informed his parents that his end was approaching. A few weeks before his sickness he became agent for the New York Age and obtained sixty customers. One of the most splendid social events in the history of Paterson was the dinner given by bourteen of Paterson's men in honor of their wives and ladies friends. We are not furnished with the names of the participants, but from the account of the affair rendered to us by Caterer S. G. Walker, we concede that the event has not been surpassed. We cannot refrain from giving our endorsement to entertainments of this kind from the simple fact that they lift the social standard of our entertainments above the usual where the mixing of all classes and the excessive drinking and extreme rudeness operate against the interests of the race. It is extremely gratifying to observe several signs of progress in the race in Paterson. For the getting together of our men like Walker and Hooper and Darkless Board Monroe John Jones the Hintons Mason and a score of others is generally urged. Paterson has a bad name but she has at least fifty men approachable and progressive. Buffalo Wedding Aniversary; Regular Correspondence of Twin Ago. BuFall, N. Y.
