Washington M. Parker, Prominent White Planter, Addresses Conference and Gives Some Valuable Advice. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan 25 more than 2000 Negro farmers, with their wives and children, attended the 10th annual session of the Tuskegee Negro Farmers Conference, which was held here last Wednesday in the Institute Chapel The Farmers' Conference is but one of the many ways the institution makes its influence felt upon Negro life, and the real worth of the work is shown in the fact that this year farmers from as many States Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana took a prominent part in the meeting, while a greater number of visitors from a distance, prominent white and black men from all portions of the country, attended. Dr. Booker T. Washington, in opening the conference, delivered the principal address. J M. Parker, of the well-known firm of I M Parker Company, cotton factors. New Orans, La, who is one of the largest individual cotton planters in the country, gave a strong, sensible and forlieve address. Marious farmers detailed their experiences in the meeting, all discussing one general subject—"Land being"—which for the purposes of the session was sub-divided: "How I taught My Own" and "Woman's art in Farm Buying." Rev T O Fuller, president of Howard Institute, Memphis, Tenn. led the session with prayer, following which Dr Washington delivered the opening address. Dr Washington gave his usual common sense advice to the people of his race and was enthusiastically cheered by the immense audience. Dr. Washington's Address. In delivering his address before the farmers and other visitors, he said in part. "As we meet in these annual conferences we must keep in mind that the time and money spent in this meeting will be absolute spent unless immeasurable is seen where we live as a result of these meetings. It is easy for people to yield to the temptation of going to some large gathering and hearing addresses or delivering addresses and then fail to put in practice what they have heard after they "The people in the community where you live should be able to see signs of improvement each year. They should see better school buildings, church houses, should be note to note, the church is either painted whitewashed, and that they have comfortable seats. "By reason of your coming to these conferences, when one passes by your swelling house, he should see that there is whitewash on the outside of the house, the whitewash, whitewash, and the gate and everything about the house is in good repair. He should be able to see that the window glasses are not broken. "Further we expect every person who comes to these conferences to be more likely to collect, but to grow plenty of good vegetables. He should have fruit trees, poultry plums in plenty. By reason of these conferences, we should see fewer people in idleness and there should be far less crime in each community. "Excuse for Poverty in the South. There is no excuse, in a climate that for no reason being in want or in need. We have right about us the best soil and the best climate. In this kind of vegetable can be grown all kinds of poultry and live stock.

"I want you to fully realize the advantages that we have about us. I know of no other working class of people anywhere in the world that we have opportunities to work. We have hands than any other class of people in the same relative stage of civilization. We live in a better climate, we live in better houses we wear better clothes, we eat better food, and while you may not agree with the views of some of no place on earth where the black race is surrounded by a better class of white people than is true in the South. In proportion to the numbers in each race, the white man here in the South treats the Negro with more consideration, more kindness, is more aware of the danger him than is true anywhere in the world where the same number of black and white people live side by side." Moses W. Jones and D. L. Powels, from Alabama, Jordan Seals, from Mississippi, Thomas Scizemore, William McKinney, James Smothers, Matte Gardner and Philip Herodon, from Alabama; G W Smith, Boyle, Miss, and others took part in the program in the farmers' conference and gave some valuable facts from their experience in farming With the exception of Dr Washington's address, the one by J. M. Parker, a white planner from two cities, the only address on the gram he gave from his experience as a planner using Negro labor for thirty years some valuable information, and dealt strongly with the shortcomings of the Negro farmer. This he did in a kindly manner, and concluded by giving them some wholesome advice. Mr. Parker said in part There are clear-out statements of fact, which, if general throughout the South, would make it the happiest and most prosperous section of the world, those results than Booker T. Washington, the leader of the Negro race. If, by his force as a speaker and his power as a leader, he bends all his energies, he will be the greatest benefactor. The speaker declared, that he was born and raised in the South and that for the past thirty years he had had dealings with Negroes as laborers, tenants and share-croppers, and had been a keen learner of producing State. This, he stated, made him familiar with conditions, and he prepared his large audience of Negro farmers, their wives and children for the advice he meant to give them, which he would soon to speak frankly, it was meant not unkindly. With reference to the shortcomings of the Negro farmer, Mr. Parker was very frank. In this regard, he declared that the vast majority of the Negro population with thought of to-morrow, often throwing money away for mere trifles and for things for which they have no possible use. You lose a fortune annually with the state and neglect of your wagons, tools and agricultural necessities," he said "Many of your wagons stand exposed to the weather when not in use. The axe lies knocking around the woodpile, and your hoe and harrow often wilt. You live stock generally shifts for itself as best it may, is neglected and goes without food or water. "The Negro farmer represents the worst form of the credit system, often starting in before the beginning of the year to borrow money to buy any exorbitant rate. He asks for credit, and bitter experience and heavy losses have strongly impressed the intelligent planter with the necessity of limiting advances on credit to rations only. After the failure of the shortcomings of the Negro farmer as a result of his observations and experiences, Mr Parker proceeded to give them some wholesome advice, saying "Preach to every farmer the importance of getting out of debt and nasty out of debt by giving them and stay here. Reduce your cotton acreage to what you can thoroughly cultivate and see that it is cultivated properly. Don't wear land out, but rotate your crops and improve it. Raise ample corn for cash bread for the horse, hops and chickens." White Farmers Always Welcome Negroes. I have never seen a white farmers' meeting where a Negro was not welcome to listen and learn. Get your people to attend these meetings when you can, and those who did not afford no opportunity pass to make them better farmers, more intelligent farmers and more useful citizens. There is not a planner in the South who would not welcome a class of honest, trusty, hard-working tenants. The South wants the Negro and the Negro in the South, and especially the open air life of the plantation in preference to the congested life of the city, with its overcrowded conditions and tenduces to tuberculosis. If the time of immigration from the South, it must routinely change your habits he honest economical activity and up to date farmers, or you will be crowded to the wall. At the evening session Bishop Henry M Turner was the centre of attraction. He was greeted with a rousing cheer. In his own fashion he spoke for some time, giving boyhood and war rememences and coupling them with the remarkable opportunities before the Negro youth of the day. He paid a remarkable triumph Dr Washington Washington speak in Atlanta the other day. I was honored with a talk on the rostrum and sat with attitude that I could hear him well. I was determined to find out what was the secret of his success. I analyzed every sentence, noted every phrase, heard every word I listened carefully.

NEGRO BOY MAY GET A CARNEGIE MEDAL Rescues White Youth From Drowning in Mississippi River William Morrell Modestly Tells of His Acheivement and Does Not Think He Has Done Much. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE St Louis, Mo. Jan 26—William Morrell, a Negro boy residing at 122 South Eleventh street, is being proclaimed a real hero, and is said to be in line for a Carnegie medal. With his hands badly lacerated by broken ice, the ice sinking under his feet, and white men on the bank jeering him, he rescued James McCarthy, aged 14, from the Mississippi River a few days ago. The McCarthy boy went to the river to skate. Under the second pier of the Paids Bridge the ice gave way and he fell into the swift current. A good swimmer, he was able to keep himself above the water for a time. Morrell crept out upon the ice and extended his hand to the boy in the water. As he attempted to draw the lid out the ice began to sink. Deeper and deeper went it, as the Negro boy, clinging to McCarthy's hand, began a desperate struggle to get on solid footing. While Morrell was thus risking his life some men on the bank, who refused to go to their aid, shouted "Drown, nigger, drown." Father of Reached Boy Praises Morrell. Leaping from one cake of ice to another Morrell finally reached solid ice with McCarthy. He was wet and bleeding from numerous cuts. McCarthy's face was cut with the ice, his fingers were covered with blood and he was almost frozen. He went home and, fearing a whipping, said nothing to his parents abotu his narrow escape from death. The father of the Negro boy told P. J. McCarthy, father of the white boy, about the Negro boy's bravery. Strong man who can walk away with an ox on his shoulder, was so overcome by the simple recital of the act of bravery that he wept "This Negro boy did not think he had done anything remarkable by saving my boy's life," said McCarthy. "He had gone with James to the river and the two wate skating when my boy fell in. The circumstances of the rescue show that the Negro boy's act was one of genuine bravery, in which he never considered the risk he was taking. I am certainly grateful to the lad for what he did "I cannot understand why any man should be so heartless as to wish a Negro boy to drown while he was risking his life to save my boy."

The reports of the president and a color of the One Cent Savings Bank which were given out at the annual stockholders' meeting at being the seventh in its history, and which was held in the direct office of the bank on Fourth avenue north of the bank on Fourth avenue north last week, shows a chance of over $500 million for the in-cance of over $500 million the prosperous year of the institution. It was pre-dicted at the meeting that the next year business will pass the million dollar mark. It was shown that not understanding the struct banking laws of the State of Tennessee, the One Cent Savings Bank had complied with all of these laws and that not a single complaint had been registered by the bank examiners of the State against its methods of dealing with the public.

Washington Speak. Last Monday evening at Carnegie Hall a large audience was given an opportunity to learn more fully just what Tuskegee Institute is actually doing and what industrial education means, which was done by the use of moving pictures giving views of the celebrated educational institution. There were present many who have contributed largely to the work of the institute, but whose information about the school had been only gained by hearsay. The pictures showed many large buildings of Tuskegee Institute built by student labor, students at work in the fields planting, plowing, milling, working in the dairy and building roads. If appliance is to be taken as a criterion, the 2,000 spectators were very favorably impressed with the moving picture exhibition, which proved to be quite an education. The pictures were shown under the direction of the Broome Exhibition Company, firm composed of Boston Negroes, of which George W. Broome is manager. Many prominent New York citizens occupied boxes at the meeting, which was presided over by Mr. Mayor Seth Low. The other speakers at the evening were President Finley of the City College, Dr B F. Riey of Alabama and Dr. Booker T. Washington. Musical selections were rendered by the students of Hampton. In opening the meeting, ex-Mayor Low praised the work of late Gen. Armstrong, who as head of the Houston Institute was the pioneer of industrial education. Ex-Mayor Low declared that Gen. Armstrong lit with his torch the torch of Booker T. Washington. President Finley of the City College, in speaking of the work of Tuskegee Institute, said in part: "I am as little fitted to talk on Tuskegee as the arctic explorer who wintered in a hut on the other side of Etah was fitted to talk on the north pole. I've never been there, but I am glad to honor it because of the glorious work it is doing to reach our humblest citizens. The Negro in the past has had an unbridled body, an ignorant mind, and an undeveloped soul. We don't want him in our houses as our social equal, but this is not because he is colored, it is because, up to the present, he has lacked intellectual and moral education" In the initial stages of the Negro's freedom predictions were prolific that when left to himself he would lapse into paganism. But theories have varnished on the arrival of the facts. With the restraint of bondage gone and unburdened of the various influences of servitude the worthest of the race stepped promptly to the front and formed a splendid leadership The Negro began without a penny in his pocket, without a loaf of bread, without an inch of land which he could call his own, without a shelter over his head with no idea of home, and that he had to create after his emancipation, and yet within less than forty-five years what has he accomplished? He has bought and paid for 200,000 plantations, has built for himself 400,000 homes, has 10,000 stores and fifty banks operated by Negroes and conducted on Negro capital. His taxable property amounts to $100,000,000. Is there no obligation imposed on a stronger race to aid a struggling people like this? Let us see. So far as the South is concerned what has the Negro done during the two hundred years of his servitude? He has hewn down her forests and transmuted them into fertile plantations, he has built her homes, her towns and cities, her colleges, has built her ships, laid her railway lines, established the means of her commerce, domestic and international and has educated seven generations of Southerners, while he has labored on in ignorance. But he has not enriched the South alone, but with the cotton bale he has enriched the New England and Middle States [Sent qued on page 5] CITY COUNCIL LAUDS 25th INFANTRY Solons of Spokane, Pass Vote of Thanks to Soldiers TROOPERS ARE GRATIFIED Testimonial on Work During Recent Disturbances Said to be First from Northern City. "Whereas, The federal troops stationed at said garrison, by their soldierly bearing and correct deportment, their sympathy and moral support in the maintenance of good order, and by their constant example of orderly, law-abiding, sober and gentlemanly conduct at all times, greatly contributed to the aid of our police officers in handling a most serious situation, involving in large degree the great principle of law enforcement; and, Whereas, We desire to express our appreciation to the officers and soldiers of the federal garrison, Fort George Wright; now, therefore, be it "Resolved, That the city council do hereby tender to the enlisted men and officers of the Twenty-fifth I. S. Infantry, for their services and their support, the thanks of the city of Spokane." Special to The New York Acr. Spokane, Wash. Jan 25 —What is said to be the first testimonial tendered to colored troopers since the war by a city north of Mason and Dixon's line, was the vote of thanks extended by the City Council of Spokane a few days ago to the Twenty-fifth Regiment, in which the Negro soldiers were highly praised for the part they played in maintaining law and order during the recent disturbances in this city. Speaking of the action of the City Council Lieut.-Col. W. R Abercrombie, commandant at Fort George Wright, said: "You have no idea how grateful the men of the regiment feel, and how proud they are of the testimonial "We came here knowing that these northern people were prejudiced against the colored troops. When the men are at drill or on the fort grounds the officers can handle them, and these officers are white men, but it is when in the city that they are out from the commissioned officers' control. Then it is the non-commissioned men who have charge, and I must say they have done their work well. Police Chief Sullivan tells me that since the arrival of the regiment but one soldier has been arrested, and that for a minor offense. "As far as I or the men under me know, it was left for Spokane to give the colored troops the first testimonial ever made by a northern city of the importance of ours since the close of the war. I think the city has made a fine move and one that will help to elevate the Negro to his right standing in the country. The men feel that a helping hand has been extended to them, and, through them, to their race, and they feel it intensely. See Far-Renching Effect. "These soldiers were unfortunate at Brownsville. They were turned down elsewhere, and, as I say, one sergeant tells me that this is the first ray of hope from white men in his twenty-eight years of service. "The effect of this will be more far-reaching. I believe, than was seen at the time by either the City Council or myself. I thought little of the resolutions beyond a sense of pride in them at the time, until the men began to apply for copies to send to their relatives at home. The requests came so fast and in such numbers that we were forced to go to the city and have the letter put in printed form. "When my attention had been thus called to it, and I remembered that men of this regiment are now being tried in Washington for the Brownsville affair, I saw more clearly what such a testimonial means to these men. The regiment is intensely gratified at such public recognition from a city of Spokane's importance." Appointed by the Shriff.

At a meeting of the National Association for the Protection of Colored Women, held last Thursday afternoon at the residence of Mrs William H Baldwin, Jr. 144 East 65th street, conditions affecting the Negro in the North were discussed by prominent white and colored speakers. Mrs Baldwin, who is the widow of the late president of the Long Island Railroad, presided, assisted by Dr Wm Jay Schieffelin Ray Stannard Baker, the noted magazine writer, made the principal address.

Broos, the Rev Dr. R C Ransom, Mrs Leaf, Mr Hubbell, Mrs Lutie Lytle Cowan and Maj R R Moten, of Hampton. Ray Stannard Baker spoke in part as follows: "Now, I shall not attempt to specifically with especiality New York City, which you know far better than I do. I can assist you some perhaps, with a somewhat general view of the situation, South and North, with an account of the causes which produce the disheartening conditions with which you are trying to grapple. In the first place, we must consider the Negro as a plain human being—human, like us—with much the same hope and fears and ambitions. The same impulses that stir us, stir him He also reaches out to grasp all those things which are brightest and best in our common life Incitation of Young Men and Women to Go to Cities. "At first glance it seems absurd that Negro girls and young men wish to rush from their homes in the South and crowd into the great cities where they are confronted with all manner of danger where they must work harder and live more precariously than they ever did before. And yet, are they not just like all the eager young white girls and boys who are crowding this way from their comfortable homes in the villages or the farms? Are they not just like the poor whites of the Southern mountains who come into the mill-towns of the South, live in squallid quarters and set their little children to work in the death-dealing cotton factories? "How human it all is! More life, more life! That is the universal cry. And no threat of danger will stop the boy or the girl from struggling upward to what seems to him or her to be a better and larger life. And you you make your cities so marvelously enticing, provide so much that glitters, so much to please the eye, and tickle the ear! And you know how much is glitter and how much is does but these boys and girls coming here" as the sparks fly upward," how can they own us? "As to the more special temptations and difficulties which the Negro woman has to meet when she reaches our Northern cities, you know more than I do, and you know how pervasive they are, how difficult they are to meet or avoid. As it has been so well stated in one of your own publications. "Most industries, other than domestic service, are closed to her domestic service in cities require training and skill, good temporary holdings in decent housing, no amount of financial assistance is hard to find, employment in good families without reference is hard to obtain, work in cafes and public restaurants often carries with it great moral risks the cost of living is double that of her classes are not easily picked up and when the days work is done, where can she go for recreation? The streets are not safe and the dance halls and other amusements open to her are worse." "What a struggle this is going on! As I look out upon it and see this dark hore of men and women coming up coming up a few white men here and there cheer them in a few bitters hold them back one finds something unspeakably one finds something unspeakably told in the spectacle of these untold thousands of Negroes who are coming North. To many of them oppressed within the limitations set up by the South, it is indeed the promised land. I shall never forget the wistful eagerness of a Negro I met in Mississippi. He told me he was planning to move to Indianapolis. (Continued it on Page 3) AMONG THE CHURCHES St. David's, Bronx. On last Sunday at St. David's the regular services were conducted.

Newby, out on duty again Sunday morning, after ten or fifteen days at home caused by a fall. The members and friends of St. Mark's show their appreciation by their constant visits to the parsonage with good things. Last Sunday was a very pleasant day with us, we had a very good congregation in the morning and evening. A great revival is in progress. Souls are being saved and uniting with the church. The evangelist, C. L. Brown, preached two good sermons. His instructions have helped many sinners to believe. Rev Brown will be with us until next Monday evening, January 31 CONDITIONS IN THE NORTH (Continued from Page 1) I asked him why he wanted to leave the South. They are Jim Crowin' us down here too much,' he said 'There is no chance for a colored man who has any self respect' Compares Advantages by Living in North and South. It is remarkable, indeed, that the Negroes should have begun to develop moral standings as rapidly as they have. For in the South few people expect the colored girl to be moral. Everything is against her mortality. In the first place the home life is still primitive. The highest ideal before the eyes of the women in many cases is the finely dressed, prosperous conubine of a white man. Moreover, in nearly all Southern towns disorderly houses are relegated to the Negro quarter. In the South the class of Negroes which come North have open fireplaces, open doors for ventilation. In the South these Negroes are shut in a small poorly ventilated flat, for which they pay orbitant rentals, and a high death rate. Dr. Schiefelin followed Mr. Baker and said "A man told me to day that a man in Mississippi wrote that he wanted a quantity of cocaine for Negro workers—that it made them happy "The effects of cocaine is demoralizing and we ought to agitate that the State laws make it a felony to sell the drug. "It is most appropriate that white and colored people should meet here to-day because when Mr Baldwin was vice-president of a Southern railroad he was always a friend of the colored people and when he came North and was president of the Long Island Railroad he started a committee to cooperate for the betterment of the colored people here." Fred R Moore, who has traveled extensively in the South in the interest of the National Negro Business League, said, "The home life of most of the Negroes in the South is most encouraging. There has been great improvement in the past fifteen years. The one thing needful is to remove prejudice and 'Jim Crowing' and let the Northern press speak out more strongly against wrong instead of temporizing." Rev Dr Philips told how the work is progressing in Philadelphia and said the progress is great though difficult. Among those present were Miss Frances F Kellor, Mrs Wm H.

NEGRO DISCRIMINATION NEGRO DISCRIMINATION. It is reported that Dr John W Prather, for the past six years an inspector at $1600 in the Immigration Bureau, and now located at Montreal, is to be reduced to a $1200 clerkship and transferred to this city. The reason assigned, it is said, by Commissioner General Keefe, is that it is impractical, because of his being a colored man, to utilize his services as an immigrant or Chinese inspector at that point. Now, every one who knows anything knows that there is no color prejudice in Canada. A man, when he gets across the Canadian border, is a man, "white or black for all o' that." It would seem that Commissioner General Keefe is presuming too much on and carrying too far the reported policy of President Taft not to appoint colored men to office where their color is objectionable. If a colored man cannot serve in Canada, where upon this broad land can be serve. To raise the point of color after a man has served for six years and in a country where color prejudice is almost if not totally unknown, is a rank injustice and discrimination which we do not believe the President or Secretary Nagel will tolerate And almost simultaneous with this story of Dr Prather's reduction, because of color, comes the news that Jere Brown, for a dozen years Chinese inspector at his own home town, Cleveland, Ohio, is to be reduced from $1600 to a mere messenger at $840. At this rate it will be but a short time until colored men are eliminated entirely from the immigrant service, just because of their color. If colored men are to be sacrificed at points where there is manifestly little or no prejudice, what incentive will Negroes have to assist, this fall, in maintaining a Republican majority in Congress? THE AGE earnestly pleads with President Taft and Secretary Nagel of the Department of Commerce and Labor, to prevent the injustice that is about to be meted out to colored men in the immigration service. Too many Negroes already have been unjustly displaced to add more to the list. THE AGE will not object to separating colored men from the Government service of proved incompetence, but it does object strenuously to demotions and dismissals solely and wholly on the grounds of color. How would Commissioner Keefe relish dismissal because he is an Irishman? THE LOVE OF TINSEL Ray Stannard Baker discussing the industrial condition of Negroes last week at the home of Mrs William J Baldwin said one besetting sin of the Negro is his love of tunsel. The Negro keeps himself poor and uneasy by buying showy things on the installment plan and when he cannot afford them. He said I visited many Negroes in all parts of the South, and if I can sum up the many visits I made in a single conclusion I should say, I think, that I was chiefly impressed by the tragic punishment meted out to ignorance and weakness to our complex society, would find the need for our society furnished, but having in one corner a glittering cottage organ on the man's shelf a glorified gilt clock crapen portraits, unexpressibly crude and cold but framed gorgoniously are not uncommon the first uncertain primitive, (not unpuffish) reachings out after some of the courses of a whirlpool of darkness on the prairies extirpated to be seen in a Negro family will pay monthly for a year or so some shows, clock or chrome or music box or decorated mirror paying the value of it a dozen times over only to have it sizzed when through knocks or lack of foresight they fail to meet a single clock, the pair breaks their blood and they are intimately the times of patient incidences. This is doubtless a great shortcoming among many Southern Negroes. But many Northern Negroes are victims of the same and kindred weaknesses. It is the same desire for show that causes the Northern Negro to overdress on the credit plan. It will the same desire for fun that will prompt the Northern Negro to buy a piano and attend the dances at the expense of his real needs and his health. Everywhere there is too much apreciation of the shadowy and not enough of the substantial things of life. The Negro needs everywhere to come down to earth and realize the sure and only ways to the respect of his neighbors, to a brighter and happier future. He must learn to sacrifice many of his pleasures that he may buy and furnish a decent home. He must be taught to dispense with the gew-gaws that he may have the real things of life --- LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS February 12, the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass is fast approaching. Arrangements are now under way by Negro organizations and churches throughout the country for commemorating the birthday of the great liberator, but little or no preparations are being made to celebrate at the same time the birthday of the mighty Negro abolitionist. While this is an oversight, it is equally short-sighted for Negroes to forget their valiant champion who filled the breach in the days that tried men's souls. Frederick Douglass was placed on a pedestal by the advocates of freedom who pointed to him as a type of the liberated black man. Most worthily did he fill his place and most well did he fulfill his mission. He thundered in most authoritative denunciations against the monstrous crime of slavery. For Frederick Douglass to speak was for thousands to be attracted to him and for most of them to be converted to his cause. He was everywhere declared to be the man raised up by God to lead his people into the promised land. The Negroes of this country should make February 12 not Lincoln Day but Lincoln and Douglass Day. There still rests against the home a mortgage of over $3,000. Collections might well be taken on Lincoln and Douglass Day for the purpose of paying this. It is to be desired that the race should do this as a racial and patriotic duty. But above all, February 12 should be celebrated as the birthday of Frederick Douglass as well as that of Abraham Lincoln. RAILROAD MEN ORGANIZE Some time ago we called to the attention of the dining car waiters and Pullman car porters the importance of getting together into an organization. No attention has been paid by them as tar as we have been advised. We think the matter of sufficient importance to again remind them that such an organization is very necessary. Every other line of railroad employment is organized, why not you? Thousands of dollars are now squandered by you. You pay thousands of dollars to various organizations which give you little consideration, whereas an organization where plans of helpfulness could be put in motion would be to your mutual benefit. There are over 80,000 Negroes in the service. This stands ready to assist you in getting together into a helpful do something organization. A GENTLEWOMAN'S NAME Mrs. Howard Chandler Christy during the progress of her husband's the popular artist, suit for divorce at Zanesville, Ohio, on the ground of indelictory remark. "They have put up a Negress to swear away the reputation the good name of a gentle woman in Mrs. bristly bad reference to the testimony of Anne Washington a neat, intelligent and evidently honest Negro servant in the Christy household. The servant's testimony only confirmed that of other witnesses as to the lax character of the mistress in her addiction to drink and her infatuation for the family chauffeur. Damaging as was the colored woman statements Mrs. Christy had no thought of attacking their competency on the score of her character but only on that of her color. Despite the fact that much strong evidence tended to prove the wife and mother anything other than the lady of integrity and gentility it was uncomprehensible to Mrs. Christy that the word of a Negro woman should be held against a lady of breeding and sexual position. The position of the artist wife is largely and unfortunately the position of high society. Immediate power and political pull furnish a white screen in all too many cases combshed that a Negro servant and he permitted to expose them to compromising their conduct may be what does it matter if it may be kept from the knowledge of their care and the vulgar glass of a gossip world. They may be absolutely heedless of the consequences of their acts of if they are known only to the servant. And when that servant is a Negro what lady of quality what kind of manor need have a care? What king of finance need have a fear when his high practices are the possessions only of his vassals? The Ohio court was indeed rude in permitting a Negro to help in the ruthless spoilation of a gentlewoman's name. But gentle folk should remember that law knows neither rich nor poor, nor white nor black THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27 1910 THE TIMES' NIGHTMARE. The New York Times is having a needless nightmare over the possibility of a Negro being admitted to West Point Ollie R Smith, a capable Negro athlete and college graduate of Cheyenne, Wyoming, has been named as the alternate for the next senatorial vacancy by United States Senate Clarence D. Clark. Wyoming have troops in readiness to send, and sent word to the mob of best citizens "I am ready and waiting" Realizing that this was not to be a bloodless victory, the "best citizens" failed to keep their word. THE CURE FOR LYNCHING Cella Parker Woolley Says Public Song This simple fact is the occasion for a history and prospective scare story of over a column in The Times to the reception Mr Smith will receive at the Government's training school. All of its old time Southern venom and race prejudice The Times musters under the guse of the words of the conventional third person, in this case an army officer. It is pained to contemplate the ostracism the prospective Negro cadet will meet with. Inferentially The Times lamentes that the Negro would not be honored by hazing and that "socially the cadet would be dead" the color prejudice is the same, it wails, whether the cadet comes from the North, South, East or West The Times on second thought, we believe, will recognize the absurdity of this last statement. It casts a serious reflection, however, upon the discipline and culture of West Point as being far below the standard at Harvard, Yale and the other large educational institutions At the Cambridge and New Haven institutions the cream of the Caucasian youth North and South are gathered Negroes also have been splendid students there, associating to mutual advantage with many white students and emancipating the others from their narrow prejudices Things were not so during slavery days, but as The Times further says those days are dead memories. Furthermore, The Times places too high a compliment upon the intelligence of Negro soldiers. The future Negro heutenants captains and mapers in the regular arms will not be so superior that West Point training would be a total waste of time. Such Negro soldiers however will be too broad minded to be offended at not being hazed. The discipline of the United States army seems destined to be disrupted but in the Government at Washington still live. While we wish Mr Smith's principal will fill we are proving that a chain of tortuous circumstances will bring on the valhicle of war and destruction. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS JANUARY 24 was the one hundred and fifty-first anniversary of the birth of Bobby Burns, and to-day, largely due to the poet of the people, a man is more of a man for a' that. But you can't notice it. Dr Washington said that the Negro is no longer looking to Washington for his salutation, but to his own efforts. With some exceptions the Negro is still looking to Washington but I rather than D. . Lok Johnson was elected boss instructor of the Colored Branch of the Manhattan N M C N List Sunday after his lecture urging temperance physical exercise and a clean life. The N M C condemns behaves Mr Johnson to be something more than a preacher. Governor Patterson warned the South before the New York Tennessee Society against her agitators that she might again come into her former dominant place in the nation's life. But of the South should eliminate the Illinians, Varlamans and Moneys from position, who would be left Believing that the name and fame of Lee is high above the term of position on the South is raising hopes for a status of the Confederate commander in Statuary Hall Washington. Among others, Chicago, N. K. Commanders has raised a bitter or at protest. Then respective points of view of the eminence of Lee is doubtful that it's all --- Dr. Rale, the Barmergham white clerkman speaking at the memorial of Carnegie Hall in Duskegee meeting, said what other authoritative Southern men have said that the South owes the New York City landlord warranted the Rent Act would not commit the Rent Act to the landlord will present to Option Rent A Part but remain free of this obligation. Commissioner for the police Matthew A. Henson accompanied Paul a officer met the third time with a briefing at Hick. Amid the best season of Belleville, Ill. sent word to the Sheriff that it was coming to get the Negro prisoner who had killed a street car conductor in an altercation. The Sheriff swore in sixty deputies, distributed to each fifty rounds of ammunition, placed them in the jail telegraphed to the Governor to have troops in readiness to send, and sent word to the mob of best citizens "I am ready and waiting." Realizing that this was not to be a bloodless victory, the "best citizens" failed to keep their word. THE CURE FOR LYNCHING Cella Parker Woopley Says Public Sentiment Should be Hightened. In its comprehensive summary of events of 1909, printed on January 2 in The Tribune, we learn that the entire number of lynchings the last year was eighty-seven, where that of the year before was an even 100. Of the eighty-seven lynchings in the South The only Northern State which disgraced itself by mob murder, says The Tribune, was Illinois. More than one-half of these lynchings were for murder. It is but fair to assume that many of these murders or assaults on a woman are written defense. There is an open law in the South that makes it practically a criminal offense for a black man to regent an injury by a white man. But the most significant item in these lynchings statistics is the low number, fourteen, caused by "the usual crime" of assault on a woman a white woman. For many years the horrible crime of lynching has been more than half condoned in the minds of many good people by the nature of the crime deferred to be its instigating cause. This theory grew into a fixed belief amounting to one of the most unreasoning and cruel superstitions that ever diseased the minds of men. The punishment, we were told, was but the fit end of the offence. We knew that no single offense meets with this form of punishment and that the crime of assault stands low down on the list. The conclusion is inevitable Lynchling is a habit peculiar to our country, inspired chiefly by that insanity of race hatred and fear which has afflicted us ever since the war. The mob is but the most evil and dangerous public opinion, fostered in circles far above the mob. There is but one cure for the Lynchling habit, that which lies in the cessation of every form of human hatred and suspicion, in a strong and active public sentiment which forbids the rule of violence in every form and promotes the living creature for justice for every living creature of whatever race, creed, or color. CELIA PARKER WOOLLEY EXAMPLE OF CAIRO SHERIFF. Chicago Tribune Says Dismisal of Lax Official Already) Bearing Proof. Somehow good may be the final end of all. The Carlo Lynching last year was disgraceful. So too was the gubernator refusal of a local grand jury made up of quaint-respectable citizens to prosecute only one person who has suffered an off-count of the Lynching has been the Sheriff of Alexander County who was removed by the Governor. That action probably was taken not by every other Sheriff in Illinois or Johnson County. Having reason to believe that a mob was gathering to take a Negro criminal out of his custody and Lynch him, he telegraphed the Governor for aid, and got some militia Pending their arrival he enrolled deputies enough to protect his prisoner. It is a fact that the deputies had not been a Lynching at Carlo there might have been one at Vienna. Some Sheriffs may be depended on to do their full duty under any circumstances. Perhaps the Johnson County Sheriff is one of them. But there will always be those who will be more to do than those who will be removed if they do not. They are the ones who stand in need of the lesson contained in the removal of the Alexander County man. Honestly, they should be prompted to advise their fellow officers for people and while awaiting aid take visible precaution. If this be done there will be no more laughings in things. Chicago Tribune NOT THE NEGRO SKIN ALONE A Member of That Race sees a sensible Hope for Future To the Editor of The Sun Sir, An editorial article in The Sun of January 9 refers to a paper read before the American Association in Boston in which the assertion was made that it was possible artificially to change the Negro's skin. You call this statement "indefinite because it offers the Negro a new hope which must prove fallows. As a member of the Negro race let me say that I share your scorpionism as to the truth of this statement, but not your misgings as to the results of its publication. The colored people of the South have been the most misgled of their troubles are due to the color of their skin. While there will always be a sufficient number among us to support the usual number of quacks I observe a growing disposition among people to recognize that their hopes are not in alarming the color of their skin. The colored people that color stands for among the mass of people. While we understand will enough that it is no easy task to overcome the inherited prejudice of centuries and for that reason a good many of us will always be open to the temptation of nothing some pink and white. We still will be learning as a race to take a positive interest in our own fortunes and struggles, not getting interested in fact. In our own progress that we have made and more profound in that we have seen is the spirit of this show. At the conclusion of his recently published Story of the Negro Locker P. Washington In the third place, they are supposed to the cycle which they suffer after a great or severe accident, and in some cases they are supposed to other ways with a great or severe accident, and in some cases they are supposed to their place in the strong field. It is sometimes better to belong to the race that suffers wrongly than to the race that commits them. In the second place, it is good coming to the conclusion that to the long run if they are in the strong world will some degree of their side be for from being a hedge of inferiority will then become a symbol of superior status.

WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY President Taft is being rapped because of his attitude toward the claims of the Senate insurgents for Federal patronage. It is rumored that up to the present time very few of the many places at the disposal of the President have been filled. But of those that have Senator Beveridge is the insurgent who has got anything it is. Senator LaFollette is not well off as the other Senatorial insurgents, because he has been disregarded in the few recommendations he has made.

Some of those, Negroes who were so loud in saying that they thought the Negro voters should help them, were now humiliating now that they made a mistake many of the Southern cities this practice has been done but we think the best thinking men of this great city will not stoop to such race hatred. --- All that the entertaining colored man wants is to be let alone. He is paying his own streets. He knows just what his people want and they are satisfied. Why will the citizens of this city continue to be Jim Crowed? The job that continues to support those Jim Crowes will continue to support those Jim Crowes on Second Street that make them go in and out different doors when they have their own up-to-date theatres. So it is with their own drug stores. There are enough colored people in this city to support them all. The Bee doesn't mean to advise the colored people not to contemptible people. But it does mean to suggest to support only those white people in business who don't discriminate against them--The Washington Bee.

The fact that the United States has reshuffled her protectorate over the island should be sufficient to deter Americans from attempting to break the ties and customs traced by the people of Cuba.

Washington NAME ADDRESS are so many narrow people in the world. When the Jew with all his wealth, education and commercial standing meets the rebuffs that he can take, the court is a Jew. We can take renewed courage against those we meet for simply being a Negro —The Western Outlook We have been requested to say to the public that the proposed High School on Hazard's Hill will be a living reality. Some time ago Judge J. W. Williams of this city donated to the colored citizens of Hazard's Hill two splendid lots for school purposes, and promised to pay fifty dollars on each additional lot needed. The committee has accepted the two lots donated, and will buy ten additional lots on the proposition above mentioned. The school building will be 38 by 60 feet, and two stories high. If he built with wings 15 by 25 feet, also mentioned, the management should be encouraged by every Negro man and woman in Waycross, and especially Hazzard's Hill, if they care anything for the future of their children. It is your duty to make men and women of your children. You cannot do this unless you properly educate them.

How can these young kids sleep with the blood, sin and crime hanging on to them? We pause for an answer. There is only one way to reach this class of people. The church must raise our misfortunes who are not afraid to die, and teach them the laws, the courts and alley and carry the Gospel, preach, pray, sing and persuade the many men of the Negro race to do better.

Emperor of Abyssinia, who is reported to be seriously ill, stands a poor chance of recovery if he tries on himself the remedies which he prepares unless otherwise instructed. Steven the wife of prominent member of the French colonies at Addis Ababa was laid up with fever. Menelek inquired what treatment she was undergoing and expressed disapproval when he learned that she was ill. The following day a messenger called with a very large put of very rough butter accompanied by a letter from one of the Emperor's secretaries stating that his royal master hoped the illness of the butter sent which had been stored for two years and would be found an infallible remedy. The present was gratefully acknowledged and promptly buried and when undamage recovered Menelek took to Chicago News. The colored vote went a long way toward defeating George W. Hilbard last week as it did in electing him two years ago. He more than deserved the thrashing he received at the polls. He will remember to his dying day the hundreds of Negro votes. In the election of John F. Fitzgerald to preside as Mayor of Boston for four years the colored people may take new hope for when he was Mayor three years ago the Negro had representation in the city government but as soon as Hilbard was an Mayor the Negro was put on a strong friend to the Negro during his last administration and we predict that more than one plum will fall from the political tree after he has been conducted into office. He has an opportunity to make this his second administration the best Boston mayor he will ever have, his colored friends who worked so hard for his deserved success. The Presidence Advance. VIRGINIA DESERVES DISTINCTION Old Dominion's Record of No Leaf- ings and Negro Thrift Gratifying NEGRO HISTORY IN NEGRO SCHOOL Editorial of Age Right in Spirit B Slightly Inaccurate, Says Bostoni donian. I read with great interest your editorial of a few days ago in reference to the importance of teaching Negro history in Negro schools. I this something would be accomplished to ward solving the so-called gace problem if every college and every university in the country would give some time to studying the history of Negro progress in this country. I fear that you do not realize, however, to with an extent Negro history and Negro sociology, if I may so speak, in a respect a subject of study in the school throughout the country. I happen to know that Dr Washington's book, "From Slavery," is already in use as supplementary reader in several public schools in the North and I happen to notice a few weeks ago that complaint was made in New Orleans to a book on composition in use in white schools in that city one of the subjects assigned as a theme was the same volume. Aside from this fact it should be remembered that one of the first books by a colored man that had to do with Negro history, namely, Dr Du Bois "Suppression of the Slave Trade," written while Mr Du Bois was graduate student at Harvard. More over his work on the Philadelphia Negro was written while he was a fellow as I remember of the University of Pennsylvania. I suspect that if it is not been for the opportunities that the noted Negro scholar had for the status of the Negro at these two universities the very excellent studies of the Negro under his direction at Atlanta University would never have been undertaken. Among other Negroes who have opportunity to study the social institutions of the Negro at Northern cities I might mention, also by N Work and Richard R Wright both of whom have studied at the University of Chicago while Mr W is or was until recently a graduate dent at the University of Pennsylvania where a regular course is given, think in the sociology of the Negro believe that further investigation work show that in a number of other Northern schools considerable time is not given to the study of the condition of the Negro and his prospects. In conclusion let me say that I think with you, that the time has come when colleges for Negroes in the South should give their students an opportunity to learn something of the history of their own race. I am very glad to see that you have called attention to this matter. J R E P In Old South State, says Port. It is not being said that South Carolina is overidentifying herself with expenditures for the education of the child's parents for the education of black The per capita expenditures by counties for pupils' enrollments during 1904 and 1909 have just been published. From them it appears that the average New-child in Calhoun required only 10% of the costs of schooling. In the first year of the N.C. Act, the long County's costs worth a year were 97 cents and in Saluda's cent. It is perfectly obvious that if the counties the old charge that is paid is making the New-worthless will not be paid in place of a squarely ground that is little more than 10¢ a day of the State so far as the N.C. action is not unattainable. United County which spent $137 upon the individual N.C. program only three other aent. These de-lure leased from the new-child $175 on the new white school Charleston County spent $27.70 on the New-child and�-pro $7.70 to each aent.

Smith Appointed by Senator Clark of Wyoming EFFORT TO RAISE ISSUE Sensational Newspapers Seek to Bring About Race Controversy Passes Physical Examination C. K. Smith of Chevenne, Wyoming has been named as alternate for the next Wyoming senatorial vacancy at West Point in United States Senator Clarence Don Clarke. In the event of the principal designated for the cadet-taking in either his physical or mental examination, Smith will become a cadet at the Military Academy. An effort is being made by a number of sensational papers to create a race issue over the probability of a Negro entering West Point. However, but little attention is being paid to the attempts of these sheets, as it is generally conceded that the Government could not afford to bring about a controversy over the race question, occasioned by race discrimination In speaking of the appointment Senator Clarke, of Wyoming, has declared that the report that a Negro has been appointed alternate to West Point is true, that in designating Smith alternate no preference was shown, the appointment of the principal and two alternates having been made by a competitive examination Ollie Smith is said to be a very bright young man. He has already stood his physical examination and made a percentage of 91 per cent. He is now taking the mental examination and it is probable that the papers will be received at West Point this week Smith is said to be an athlete and to have been a member of the freshman football team at the University of Nebraska last year. Capt Charles Young, one of the two Negroes who have graduated from West Point, is said to be his uncle. Whether or not Capt Young had anything to do with getting him named as the Wyoming alternate is not known The sensational papers recall the dif- fulties encountered by some Negroes in getting through West Coast but fail to explain the reasons the Military Academy with much credit. SHORT COURSES IN AGRICULTURE Beneficial Lessons Given at Tuskegee gee for Benefit of Farmers of Mason County. Special to The New York Acl Tuskegee Institute Alc. Preparatory to the Tuskegee Nega Conference, the agricultural department has been con- ducting a short course in agriculture for the benefit of the farmers in Macon County, in which the institution is lo- ted. This is an important feature of the work of the agricultural department and it does not spare expense in secur- ing a large number of efficient men versed in both theoretical and practical agriculture to come and talk to the farmers. There have been five this year, teachers from as far as California and Virginia, and other noted men from the agricultural colleges in the South. The attendance on the short course this year has been more than five hundred men, women and children. The first session of the short course held five years ago was attended by but seventeen persons. The last day of the short course which closed on the day of the Negro Farmers Conference, January 19 was celebrated with an elaborate program upon which were represented the various communities each riding the other in an endeavor to win the most prizes, and therefore obtain the best claim to progress in the methods of improved agriculture. An important feature of this day was the "basket dinner," which each farmer brought, provided in the neatest manner and with the most whole some victuals, which he, himself, produced on his farm and which bore the inspection of the instructors who passed upon and decided what baskets had been prepared in the most orderly and palatable manner.

I made good money, but I didn't get no home, cause I done it at city" said one man, and yet before that audience he determined to do more for his family than ever before Strange enough, this same man has successfully educated his three children, two of whom hold responsible positions in Southern schools. Another man, Henry Stubbleneld, detailed how after ten years in debt, he covenanted with his wife that they would work "these's," and now after four years' hard work, they have a nice home, 120 acres of land, with all payments up to date. Thus, in simple words, the story of their experience was told. The boll weevil, too, contributes to their trials and misfortunes, but one poor man, speaking of the situation, declared "I ain't a gwine to low de boll weevil nor de white folks to run me away fun my farm." Another man, Thomas Young, confessed that for a long time he wanted to save $500 before he would open a bank account, and when he finally came to his senses he began an account with $10. Now he has a 311-acre farm, worth on an average $10 per acre. Strong and forcible resolutions were adopted by the entire conference, in which the State of Mississippi was congratulated upon the increase of the development of its agricultural resources, with particular reference to the era of good feeling now prevailing between the races. The black people pledged themselves to use their best influence for a continuance of these relations. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS. As Reported by the National Negro Business League. Another Negro bank has thung its doors for business It is 'The Safety Banking and Realty Company' of Mobile Alabama. The first days deposits (January S) amounted to $1,909.19 The bank has an authorized capital of $50,000 with $26,045 paid in its president is Henry N Newsome, cushier James R Knox manager of real estate department Miss Martha Robinson the business officer N Sarah J Duncan The bank will do business in its own quarters a three story brick building 256 St Michael street which the directors recently purchased Marion, Alabama, although a small town, is fortunate in having quite a number of thrifty industrious and well to do business men and farmers. Some of those who are worthy of monton are Messrs S. Daniel, Gilbert Jones, Charles Smiley, J H Key and Tom Mitchell, who are principally in the grocery business, carrying stock anywhere from $50 to $2,000. The leading merchants, however, are the Childs Bros, who are not only the proprietors of one of the largest groceries in the place, located on the main street in their own building but they are also confectioners and own the only bakery in town. Twenty-five or thirty years ago their father started the latter business and the sons have continued at ever since without any competition. They likewise run a trunk patch, of two trunks from which they sold $400 worth of plants last spring and $800 worth of cabbage this fall besides other garden products. Some of the other rugged and well-to-do farmers are Messrs Edward Wedgeworth, Summit Anderson, Edward Lowes and Orange Beenson who manage from 100 to 140 acres yearly. H.R. Davis is the proprietor of a café for whites. It is very popular and well patronized. He has been in the business for over thirty years and has made money at it. John Williams is a large brick manufacturer having years of experience, by means of which he has prospered. Wm M. Mston has been for over fourteen years instructor in the mechanical department of the Orphan Home for white children located at Oxford N.C. The Home is the property of the Grand Lodge of white Masons of the State. The Legislature usually appropriates $1000 for its maintenance annually. There are about 125 pupils of both sexes in the orphanage 125 of whom are boys. Mr. Alston teaches the latter how to make cash doors, blinded and build stairways. He is the only colored person employed on such capacity. More than one effort have been made to displace him for a white man, but on account of his services being satisfactory, the authorities of the institution have persistently refused to hold the entries of the petitioner, but he is obligated by the demand of the prescribed. D. Silk Manufacturing Company at Relyy Mount N. C. incorporated with an authorized capital of $500000 in succession in November 15th. It is the only Negro institution in the world in an orphanage a plan of operation. The work is done in four hours without hardship with a front door in the premises. together owned and operated by Negroes. R. I. Kearney of Greenville, N.C. is another member of the race who has demonstrated the fact that the Negro can do things like other people. He is the inventor of a patented improvement in plows. It is a boltless combination plow. The work of three plows is accomplished in one. A cotton plow with double front points and shares of crows, sweeps and half sweeps of various shapes and sizes, best adapting them to all stages of growing crops. It has also a complete set of castings which constitute at a turning plow with three sizes of wings, the smallest or it suitts well with all kinds of rough or tough land. The position of handles and beam may be changed to suit the requirement. Only one stock, beam and handles are required, and upon these may be fitted any shape or size castings to meet the demand of the work at hand. MOVING PICTURES OF TUSKEGEE (Continued from page 1) Reaction Favorable to Negro. These facts are just now impressing the people of the South, or the better elements of them, and are creating a reaction favorable to the Negro. This reaction is due to two chief causes—one is that of the reassertion of the old aristocratic class of the South, through their descendants. For a period they suffered from the chaotic conditions incident to the war, but they are coming again to the front. That is one cause. Another is that the Negro is steadily vindicating his merits by his deeds, as I have already shown. "For considerably more than a year I have been engaged in investigating these conditions, publishing these facts and propitiating public sentiment on the truth," is a surprise to me. I find thousands of our best people feeling just as I do concerning the Negro. There is a wide-spread feeling that there should be accorded the merits of his just deserts. 'One of the chief things from which the Negro suffers in the South is that the crimes of the few are exploited in the public prints to the neglect of his worthy deeds. A crime is flared in the public press but nothing is said of his steady progress and of his achievements.' Negro In Over Silly Period. Dr Washington declared that the Negro was over his "silly period." He spoke in part as follows. "The Negro race is not dying out. It is increasing every year. The Negro is at the forefront of America's battles and discoveries. A big black Negro stood beside the discoverer of the north pole. President Tatt is recommending a Negro Exposition in 1913 to show how the race has progressed in half a century of freedom. All over the South the whites are encouraging the blacks to become educated and to succeed. "No one objects to the educated Negro newkass, because the Negro race is over the silly period which it went through thirty years ago. The type on 'educated' Negro with high hat, cane, patent leather shoes, eyeglasses and overlarge cigar has disappeared. Social service—service of head, service of hand, service of heart is now his motto. He doesn't think that labor, that work, is degrading any more. There are 14,000 Negro brick and stone masons in the South. There are 50,000 stationary engineers. Little seven per cent of our race can real and white. One of our Uskewer graduates has just been put in charge of a plantation of three acres of land, it having been found that educated Negroes on get more work out of Negro laborers than white men. "The American Indians cost the United States Government $100 million a year. But the Negroes in Forty-five States have never cost the Government cent. And you never find a Negro with his hand out on a street corner either." Dr Washington made an appeal for funds for Inkegee and its educational work. He stated it costs $250,000 a year to maintain Inkegee and is only doweded to the extent of $100,000. Scholarships for $50 each can be bought by those who want to help. The management also wants to increase the endowment fund from $1,500,000 to $3,000,000. Movement to Improve Conditions of Working Class. Atlanta, Ga. Jun 25. A recent and rather novel undertaking has been set foot in this city by some of the leading sports here among them President Home of the Atlanta Baptist College and Proof W. I. Du Bois of Atlanta University and others who attended a meeting that had for its object the launching of the movement a few nights ago. The general scheme is to keep alive an organization that shall imply the conditions of Negroes in Atlanta, specifically house servants and medicines. The movement has the cooperation and support of the Negroes and white people in Atlanta.

From the sound of the whistle the St. Christopher's started the second half with a rush that put them several points in the lead. From that time on it was give and take, both teams playing a great game, but although Alphar played and tried hard, they could not reduce the lead gained by their adversaries, and the game ended with the score of 22 to 10 in favor of St. Christopher Bradford, Trott, Lewis, Hargrove and Hammond of St. Cecach played a star game for their team.

GRIFFITH, Metropolitan Bldg, 46th St & 8th Ave. nov 25 3m 1837 HAVE WILLIAMS & WALKER SEPARATED? FROM all appearances, the famous team of Williams and Walker is no more Even in the event of George W Walker recovering sufficiently to be able to return to the stage next season it is not likely that the two comedians will be seen together again Many rumors have been affloat of late regarding the future movements of this widely-known team, but it was only a few days ago that The Age received information tending to substantiate the report that from now on theatregoers will probably have to regard the team of Williams and Walker as a matter of past history. Should George W. Walker be seen next season with his wife, Auda Overton Walker, it would not be a big surprise to some Cole and Johnson are busily engaged writing a play for this clever soubrette, who is to appear during the season of 1910-11 in a musical show under the direction of Stair and Havlin. It is being talked about that should Mr Walker's condition be such as to permit him to return to the footlights he will surely be identified with the production now being written for his wife, and that the billing will read, "The Walkers" George Walker's Condition Improving. That there is some likelihood of the "Beau Brummel" of comedians entertaining the patrons before many months pass away is given additional credence by a letter recently received by the dramatic editor of THE AGE regarding Mr. Walker's health The very agreeable news has been sent from Lawrence, Kans., where the comedian is stopping with his mother, that his condition is much improved. The letter To Dramatic Editor of THE It will undoubtedly interest you nature readers of theatrical show that George W. Walker is still at home with his mother in Lawrence, Kans., and is taking what he calls the rest cure. His condition is improving daily, and it is hoped that by October he will have fully recovered from his illness and will be able to return to the stage where we all know his presence is greatly missed. Verv truly yours, W. C MOULTON, Secretary to Mr. Walker. Although hope is expressed in the letter of the comedian's return to the stage in October, no reference is made to a probable joint appearance of Williams and Walker as stars, which leaves room for speculation as to the future relations of the famous team Planning New Show for Bert Williams. F. Ray Comstock, under whose direction Bert A. Williams is appearing in "Mr Lode of Koal," was seen a few days ago in his office in the Shubert Building by the dramatic editor of THE Ace, and asked if it was true that George W Walker would be seen with Aida Overton next season Manager Comstock expressed total ignorance of the future plans of Mr Walker, and made the following statement I have not heard from Mr Walker for months, and I don't know his treatment. I am certainly glad to learn, however, that he is improved, for besides realizing that the stage sustains quite a loss by his temporary retirement. I have a high regard for him personally. As to whether Mr Walker contemplates appearing next season with his wife, Aida Oveton Walker, I must say it is news to me. On the subject as to whether I have another year's contract with him I have nothing to say. At this time I am giving a large share of my attention to providing Bert A Williams with a new show for next season. He has demonstrated beyond a doubt that he is one of the funniest comedians living, and is fully capable of heading a show alone. It is true that "Mr Lode of Koal" is not the strongest vehicle that could have been constructed to display Mr Williams' ability as a comedian, yet he has convinced all that he is as well fitted to carry a show as any of the other successful comedians appearing in musical shows. It is my intention to surround Mr. Williams next season with a large company, to be selected from the pick of colored performers, and his new show will be unveiled in many respects. Mr. Comstock was asked if there was any truth in the report that the show will close within a few weeks he stated that he did not see any need of taking the Mr. Lode of Koal Company off the road, as business has been very good since the first of the year, and charged that such rumors have been put into circulation by wagers who knew nothing of the affairs of the show whoever.

While Williams and Walker were playing at the Majestic Theatre in 'Bandanna Land' in April, 1908, they celebrated the sixteenth anniversary of their partnership on the stage. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.

INFORMATION ABOUT PIANOS. Sounding Boards Given Much Attention—The Tension Resonator. The sounding board has been called the soul of the planoforte, and it is the most important part of the entire structure, says the New England Magazine. The tone is largely dependent upon the sound of the wood, and controlled to a great extent by the quality of the wood from which it is made, the manner in which its different sections are matched and prepared. The spruce from which the best sounding board is submitted to a temperature of about 150 degrees Fahrenheit for many months, or perhaps a year, that the wood may shrink to its very limit, for if there is a shrinkage after the board is in the planoforte the result is disastrous. Such shrinkage causes a cracked sounding board, and then have a piano with a broken heart. The best pianos are fitted with a sounding board slightly arched. This arch, by means of atmospheric changes, allows the strings to be heard down on the board by means of its bridges, is very apt to flatten, with the result that the tone quality is impaired, and even lost. The tension resonator was devised to offset It consists of a series of tension bars, each composed over two parts, which are oppositely threaded at their adjacent ends to receive tinknacks or nuts. One end rests in the rim of the case, the other being madjust at a central point common to all of the bars. By means of a requisite tension may be secured snaking it impossible for the securing rod to fatter. Without this tension resonator a piano gradually loses its tone, while with it the tone is maintained permanently with its pristine beauty and sonority without it the piano is required like a violin with its curve of the board; while with it the piano, like the violin, improves, softens and mollows its tone with increasing years. Granted a moderately even temperature a planofor should be tuned at least four or five times each year—especially so the spring for the board as well as various other parts) require time to be securely settable.

The bass with copper so as to suit with the deeper the given tension, and in the tenor reg- go to equalize the Jam the copper wound oass to the plain steel The principal function of the iron plate is to bear the tension of the strings which stretch across it, and which exert a constant strain in the small grand planofore of over 40,000 pounds. The plate is made of cast iron and it is no simple operation even in that hardened material. New care is required in the selection of specially qualified metals, also in the casting, to provide against the breaking or cracking of the plate under the enormous strain of the strings. The plate must be perfectly adjusted in its place over the sounding board, each screw and bolt fitting perfectly, that matter is not untitting. Every point of contact between plate and rim must be exact. The process of polishing the piano case is essential for there are dramatic and atmospheric influences which affect the outer appearance of a planofore. One of the details is of particular interest. After a number of distinct operations there is left but one thing which remains constant is the final gloss, and for this there is nothing so efficacious as the human skin. The varnished case is rubbed thoroughly with great care by the soft part of the inside of the hand. This arouses a friction, and the heat generated so acts on the varnish as to create the gloss. The man who do this rubbing must see to it that the epidermis of their hands is kept soft and pliable, and the must possess necessity exercise a tremendous force in their hands to must perform no labor which will inceptuate their hands for their unique part. Modern pianofortes are equipped with at least two pedals, more commonly called the soft and loud pedals, but more properly known as the piano and the forte pedal, and in the modern artistic grand planoforte there is usually a third, known as the tone sustaining or sostento pedal. The soft pedal, operated by the player's foot, when pressed down shuffles the entire sound, when pressed to the right, thereby changing the touch of the hammers against the strings so that one less string of each unison is struck than normally, except in the case of the single bass strings and they are struck by a softer part of the hammers. The string which is not struck does not remain silent, however, for it vibrates through the influence of other vibrating strings. To this sympathetic vibration is to be attributed much of the charm of tone quality derived from the piano, to which modern compusers for the instrument are not blind. In using the soft pedal, however, you should press the pedal down as far as it will go at once, and not only partially or gradually, for the strings, when the hammers in their normal positions are pressed on the surface of the felt covering the hammers, and if the soft pedal is pressed only partially, thus shifting the keyboard only partially, the strings are struck by a soft part of the felt and do not fall into these indentations, the result is a snarling sound of fone which is neither satisfying nor beautiful. Prior to 1830 there was a still further shift permissible, so that one string only of each unison was struck, this was the una corda of Beethoven, it was controlled by a hand stop at one side of the hammer, and the hammer hammers were small and covered with leather and the hammer blow was much less, so that the wear and tear were not nearly so great as with the large felt hammers and increased hammer blow of the present day. For this reason, other the una corda would be hardly a residentum in the modern instrument. The forte pedal is operated by the right foot and lifts all the dampers, thus permitting the strings to vibrate freely. When any single key is depressed and the loud pedal is in operation from the lower string of the instrument, as in applause of other strings. This is equally true when more than one key is depressed. The result is an increased volume of tone, and since this increased volume is caused by the operation of this pedal the latter is generally known as the loud or forte pedal. These appellations however, are erroneous. The pedal is used quite as much in piano and plantasimbo playing as in forte playing. Its proper name is damper pedal. The player by means of the damper pedal controls a wealth of sympathetic vibration and can also at any instant stop the vibration of strings that are in confusion or discord of third pedal. The third pedal is a soothing instrument and is omitted largely to mind pianofortes. By its mechanism the dampers of any unison or group of unisons may be raised regardless of all others. Fascinating effects are thus made possible, among them being what is technically known as an organ point - the sustaining of one distinct tone - the sustaining of sounding and - constantly changing IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BY LESTER V. WALTON I coming last week a young sized tracas occurred in Barron Wilkins Cite, m which Jack Johnson champion heavywweight of the world, and Norman Pinder were principals. The modest would have been regarded by the newspapers in the sunlight is any other Prawl had not the champion heavywweight been one of the participants. For that reason the class of white writers who have a sort of taut understanding to do everything in their power to promote the public against Johnson have had an excellent opportunity to do some wholesale pen pushing in their characteristically vindictive as well as pathetic style. Norman Binder, until he became the object of Johnson's wrath, was not known generally outside of the neighborhood in which he frequents, but has now gained some notoriety. Judging from his action for damages instituted Tuesday, he isaping for more. If he was not a colored man it is likely that he could get an engagement of about ten weeks in vaudeville, to be billed as the triumph stood Champion in Jack Johnson's fight and right hand jobs and did not take the bow to the tal to breathe his lot. Although the offer did not amount to much, it is not likely that many bids were paid at it to be placed that the champion was staged him self as to engage in a public fight. It would have been better enough had he let a man about his size and for worse when he allowed his not to collide with the ledge of an small man. In giving his version of the displayance to the sporting editor of Life, he while in his room at Miner's Lighth Avenue Theatre, one afternoon last week, the champion deferred that the newspapers have magnified the incident as they have other articles published Beautifully Decorated and Up-to-date.

It is believed that Johnson is being almost persecuted by a number of white writers, particularly in New York by two sporting editors, who will probably soon have an opportunity to go out and devote their lives to advocating home rule for Ireland for after July 4 the will have all time glory at their disposal, being inured by the editors their responsive papers that their services are no longer required, having been guilty of defaming the readers by making public wagers and predictions to the Johnson jetters right. But in referring to the Johnson Porter affair the champion asserts that he was driven to administering his unitive adversary a short sheet and various polls because of results. Porter has handed out him from time to time and which he could no longer produce. Even it was the case that Johnson acted the part of the change in knowing Porter down. In his right with Lennon Burns in Australia the white man posed Johnson throughout the light, but he did not use his head. It is highly probable that Lefroy will seek to do the same thing. As Johnson is known to be a heavilyighter, at a stronge he should so forget himself to do a few basic stunts out of the prize ring especially when he exhibits to del him more harm than good. Luk Johnson is the most widely known and thoroughly discussed Negro in America to day. It behoves him to act the part of a changer of the three that are in the white world. He is a man of strength, intelligence and wit. He is a man of the race which he is a member. Let him be the disciple of his teachings and his example. Colored "Clockers" Bring About Betting Coop.

Regular Correspondence of Tux Age. Baltimore, Jan 25—Bishop I. B. Scott, who has charge of the work of the Methodist Episcopal Church in West Africa, and Dr Ernest Lyon were the principal speakers at a mass meeting in the interest of African Missions at 5sharp Street Memorial M E Church, last night. Both spoke interestingly of the work of the denomination in West Africa, and pointed out some of the most urgent needs of the work. Bishop Scott has been in the country some months and has taken an active part in the campaign of the Methodist Church for the raising of $400,000 as a commemoration fund in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the labors of the denomination in West Africa. Bishop Scott and minister were the guests of honor at a luncheon tendered by Methodist Episcopal pastors in this city. Local lodges of the Grand United Order of Moses held special memorial services last night at Moses Hall, the occasion being the anniversary of the birth of the founder of the order, Peter Paul Brown Dr A P Herring, secretary of the Maryland Sunday Commission, was the principal speaker at a public meeting at Metropolitan M. F. Church, last Friday, in the interest of State care of the insane. Rev. D C S Morris, a former pastor of Abyssinian Bantist Church, New York City, is conducting revival services at Union Baptist Church, New York City. The Suffrage League of Maryland held a special meeting Monday afternoon and decided to make a direct appeal to the legislature against any disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" car legislation that may be proposed. The league has always made a many protest against the passage of hostile laws, and in the two disfranchisement campaigns did valiant work in bringing about the defeat of the amendments. Rev Dr W M. Alexander, of this city, is president of the league. FINE RECITAL AT NASHVILLE. the Thad B. Harrison Delights Large Science—Mercy Hospital in Need To Feel. Nashville, Teum, Jan. 22.—To the delight of a large and appreciative audience, consisting of the faculty, students and friends of Walden University, and with great credit to himself, Richard B. Harrison, reader, gave a program covering almost the entire field of elocutionary effort in the Auditorium building, Thursday evening, January 13 Mr. Harrison lived up to the reputation he has won as being one of the foremost readers of America and at the close of the entertainment Dr J A Kumler, president of the University, stated that it was the most artistic gestal of its kind he had ever heard in Nashville. The program included selections from Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the court scence from the "Merchant of Venice," a French-Canadian dialect selection, and Poe's "Raven." It was to have been expected that Mr Harrison would render Dunbar's selections with success, but the manner in which he rendered the Shakespearean and other numbers was a pleasing surprise. The character of Shylock was particularly strong and showed wonderful dramatic power "The Raven" was a living, tangible something that few readers, if any, have ever given before in this city. Mr Harrison will give two benefit recitals for Mercy Hospital, a charitable institution here, of which Dr R F Boyd is superintendent and manager, at two of the city's largest churches during next week. Mercy Hospital is greatly in need of fuel, supplies, food and money. Many of the poor sick of the race are being cared for there daily, and are unable to pay anything to the hospital or for service or medicine. These people are cared for by the hospital management and the charitable people of Nashville are called upon to contribute something for this cause. Hundreds of such people are cared for there each year and Doctor Boyd is doing all he can to keep the hospital running and desires the help of the public, and should have it. It is expected that these recitals which Mr Harrison will give for the benefit of this charity will be very largely patronized by the friends of charity in the city, and will result in the amelioration of the conditions now existing at the hospital. The Board of Endowment of the Order of Knights of Pythas of Tennessee held their mid-winter meeting in the Python Temple on 15th avenue, Nashville, January 15, and transmitted much important business pertaining to the Order. According to Dr. J. W. Whitfield, president of the Endowment Board, more than $5,000 was paid out in chums at the meeting for the past quarter. The Knights of Pythias is, perhaps, the strongest organization of the race in the State, having about $3,000 in its treasury and owning valuable real estate in almost every city and town in Bennesse. The board is composed of prominent members of the order from all over the Show. They follow Dr. J. W. Whithe's president, Mt. Pleasant, T. G. of taison, treasurer, Dversburg A pany rdson, Chattanooga, W S been pson, Nashville; and B J Feryear, Memphis. Others attending the have at its meeting were. Dr. J. P who tard, grand chancellor, Nashville; Turmer, grand attorney. The grand stand of Greenwood Park was completely destroyed by fire last Sunday afternoon. This grand stand, valued at $0,000, was probably the largest in the South owned by a Negro. It was 75,320 feet, and had a seating capacity of over 5,000 people. It was built two years ago and was used for the first colored State fair ever held in the South. Since the erection of the building the Colored State Fair has been an annual event at Greenwood Park. Rev Preston Taylor, the prominent and wealthy undertaker of this city, owns the park, and in addition to the building that was burned, a shooting gallery, theatre, amusement hall, skating rink, merry ground and one hundred stalls are located within the park. None of these, however, was destroyed by the conflagration as the nearest to the burned building was more than 1,000 feet distant. There was no insurance on the building, since the insurance companies refuse to insure public parks in Tennessee Trenton Teacher Dice Trenton, N. J. Jan 24 - Miss Ida Herbert, for many years a public school teacher, and recently retired on full pay, died here yesterday after a short illness. Miss Herbert was stricken all after the sudden death of her brother, R Henri Herbert, in October, but was recently convulsing, and contemplated a trip to Bermuda. A sudden attack of heart failure brought the fatal result SYRACUSE BIBLE SCHOOL ELECTS Attorney Atwell Sunday School Superintendent-Young Folks Have Steigh Ride. Regular Correspondence of THE ACE Syracuse, N.Y., Jan. 26-Charles Williams, the efficient secretary for several years past of the Bible School of the Bethany Church, recently made his annual report. This report shows the surprisingly large total of nearly 3,000 people having been in attendance at this school during the year just closed. This is a substantial increase over the aggregate attendance for the preceding year, and the best report ever made in the history of the school. The following officers of this school were recently elected and installed Attorney M Raymond Atwell, superintendent. Mrs. Lucius R Robinson, assistant superintendent, Charles A. Williams, secretary and treasurer, and Miss Sadie Anderson, organist. Mrs. Helen L. Fisher, aged about seventy years, died Tuesday, January 18. The funeral was held at Synders' undertaking rooms Thursday afternoon, Rev. H. C. Coddington, rector of Grace Episcopal Church, officiating. Burial was in Woodlawn Cemetery. The second annual full-dress reception and promotion of Palestine Commandery, No. 11, K T., at Freeman's Hall, Thursday night, February 3, bids fair to the social event of the winter's season here. Y E D G C Sir Henry A Spencer and E Sir Wm H Howard, Inspector General representing the Grand Commandery, State of New York, will be present. A special feature will be the exhibition drill by Central City Commandery, No. 16, K L, the widely known drill corps of Utica, N Y followed by a grand inspection of both commanderies by E Sir James C L guard. The arrangement committee is a surety of the success of the affair Sirs Albert S Phelps, chairman, E N Powell, C C Buster, J R Robinson and O O Brown. Mrs. Charles Williams and Miss Margarette Reynolds gave a very enjoyable "sleigh ride" to twenty-nine young people on Thursday night. The company completely surprised Mr and Mrs Daniel Hill of 418 Cayuga street, to whose home they went, where dainty refreshments were served and games were enjoyed. The disrespectful and unmanly conduct of several of our young men who come from respectable families during the religious services of one of the churches here of late has not only disturbed the church services, but is causing the fathers and mothers of these young men worry and trouble. The many friends of Mrs. Fred Bennett of South State street will be sorry to hear of her serious sickness since the first of the year, from which she shows no improvement. John Wesley Perreira Vitula of 316 East Washington street is said to have the distinction of being the first Negro to file in the County of Omondaga a declaration of becoming a naturalized citizen Mr Vitula's native home is in Malonga Angola, Portuguese W Africa. He is a subject of King Manuel of Portugal, allegiance to whom Mr Vitula now recognizes to become an American citizen. In his papers he shows that he came to this country from St Paul de Fouda, Portuguese West Africa, in 1901. Mrs Frederick Carside is visiting her daughter, Mr and Mrs Archibald Moore at Hueca, N.Y.

Special to Tus New York Ack. Washington, D. C., Jan. 20.—Agnes Carver Brent, colored, has been awarded overrider for $750 damages against the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railway Company, for alleged false arrest, by a jury in Circuit Court No 2, before Chief Justice Clabaugh. In August, 1900, the plaintiff was a passenger on a car from Georgetown to Livingston Heights, in Virginia. She was seated in the third seat from the rear of the car, and when Virginia was reached the conductor, acting under the "Jim Crow" law of Virginia, directed her to move to the second seat from the rear. When she defended she caused an other employee of the road known as a special officer for Fairfax County, but not for Alexandria County, to place her under arrest. She was taken to Great Falls, it was testified, then to Rosslyn and to the Alexandria County jail, from which place she was released about mid-night. CONFERENCE OF FARMERS HELD Continued from page 1 Democrats? I found out. It was nothing but regular horse-sense." Other addresses were made by Dr C T Walker, of Augusta, Ga, Miss Cornelia Bowen, Mt Meigs, Ala, and several other farmers from Alabama counties *Conference Adopts Resolutions.* The meeting of the farmers closed with the addition of the following declaration to the public Since the Conference started eighteen years ago the number of land owners and the value of farm property has greatly increased. At that time the Negro farmers of Alabama were paying taxes on $4,000,000 worth of property. Now the number of land owners and machinery, tools, and buildings in Alabama is over $16,000,000, and the same degree of progress has been made in the other States. We urge upon our preachers and teachers to encourage in every way possible the spirit of land online and that they set an example by owning land themselves. The last census showed that we had made remarkable progress in acquiring property and in general improvement. In the coming census we urge every colored citizen to make special effort to assist the Government's agents by giving them full and accurate information as to the amount of property owned and the number in each family that can read and write, and that only know where the race stands, in ownership of property and education, but also what progress has been made in the ten years since the last census was taken. Since the most of us live by some form or other of manual labor, we urge upon every one to acquire as much skill as possible, in whatever form of work he may perform, and to hold his place in the world of labor, and in order that he may increase his earning capacity and, thereby, not only the more easily meet the increase in the price of living, but also become able to acquire property and thorough knowledge of the farm. The farmer to use more machinery that he may raise larger crops and make work on the farm less burdensome and expensive. The boll weevil is spreading rapidly throughout the cotton boll. For this change we urge farmers to use more coarse oats and rye, and such other crops as are common to the South, taking special note of such hardy vegetables and grains as grow in the gardens and fields in the winter months. We would also urge the raising of cattle, hogs and poultry, to supply our markets needs, but to supply our markets in our vicinity. We urge upon farmers the importance of educating their children especially along agricultural lines, as the chief value of money and of all material success lies in the education of their children. We also urge the holding of community and county fairs as an aid to the education of the massees. We discourage as expensive and domestizing the indiscriminate purchase of patent medicines, cheap pictures, and books of no real value, that are urged upon the property of farmers. We are currently opposed to laxness of all kinds, and in every community, where it is necessary we advise the formation of Law and Order Lengues and a hearty co-operation with officers and citizens in the impartial enforcement of all laws and the punishment of all new breakers. Well-Known Speakers at Second Day's Session At the second day's session, designated as Workers' Conference, the central idea as emphasized by Dr. Washington was "What Can the School Do In Increasing the Efficiency of the People." The subject was discussed from the standpoint of the rural school, the city school and the normal school and college. Rural school teachers principals of city schools and presidents of colleges discussed the subject from their viewpoint each giving concrete examples of how the institutions in question had been of assistance in helping the people other than their immature students. They were delivered by Dr. I. H. Dilhair, New Orleans president of the Inees Rural Foundation, Dr B F. Riley, of Birmingham, Ala. Dr Riley placed special emphasis upon the relations of white and colored people in the South, and declared that the Negro had more friends in the Southern white people than he knew. Dr. J. H. Dillard gave an extensive account of the work of the Jeanes Foundation, emphasized its possibilities for good, and declared that it was the purpose of the foundation to help the people in those communities where they showed a disposition to help themselves. Prominent Men in Attendance Among the prominent people of both races attending the conference and taking a prominent part in the deliberations were Col J. M. Parkey, New Orleans, La.; Dr. J. H.
