Political Situation Has Changed in State of Mississippi Combination Has Been Formed to Prevent His Election to the United States Senate TIRED OF RACE ISSUE Senator Gibbs of Yazoo City Says Ex-Governor is Detrimental to Peace and Welfare of the State. Signal to The New York Age. Yazoo City, Miss. Feb 8—James K. Vardaman, known for his radical views on the Negro question, has reached the conclusion within the past three or four weeks that the day of getting elected to office in Mississippi by appealing to the social prejudices of the white voters is nothing of the past. In the present balloting for United States Senator ex-Governor Vardaman leads that his chances of becoming elected to the United States are fading daily. A strong combination has been formed to prevent his election, due in the main to his anti Negro utterances. Senator Gibbs of Yazoo City, one of the leaders of the opposition, has set forth the following reasons why he is strongly opposed to the election of Vardaman. It was well known when I was sent to the Senate this time that I did not wish to come and that I was so strong in anti-Vardaman man that I even supported Mr. Williams, who had long been my political opponent. There is nothing personal to my opposition to Governor Vardaman's candidacy, but In 1888 and made good in 1875 and the State was redeemed by it from radical rule and looking to the future unity and welfare of our white people. I cannot endorse the constant inside against the inferior race Against Crusade Against Negro Race. "Should it attempt to assert political rights we have the white line and the constitution of 1990 to hold up our hands. To be everlastingly discussing the Negro merely makes him overestimate his importance and renders it that much more difficult for us to deal with a situation always serious anyway. The Negro is here by the act of the slave traders and our forefathers, and not of his own volition. He is free by the act of the white people of both sections who engaged in war. He was made a voter by the victorious North, he was disfranchised by us in spite of the fifteenth amendment. Why then should he be forced into the arena of political discussions and thus made to assume a position of sullen hostility toward us?" "It was well known that I supported McLaurin against Vardaman for governor, and that afterwards I supported Powell against him, and that in 1903 when I was in Sonora, Mexico, in bad health, and doubtful whether I would ever get back home, I wrote a letter against Vardaman, solely on the ground of his agitation of the Negro question, which I considered extremely injurious to the people and the party. Outside of that point, I didn't care a two-cent postage stamp who won the gubernatorial race. Races Are at Peace in Mississippi. "The Democratic party thirty-five years ago put the Negro out of State politics and in all its platforms promised protection to him in his educational and civil rights. We have been getting along pretty well with him, all things considered, and I am opposed to making him a subject of political campaigning in the Democratic party. He has no place there. We are all white men alike and all equally interested in white supremacy. We all stand together on that, and all favor repeal of the fifteenth amendment, if it should ever be possible. The races are at peace; it is necessary to preserve that status if we are going to live among Negroes. It is utter folly to make the Negroes think that the people of Mississippi wish to deprive them of their schools. It is worse than folly to pursue the course that would make them feel that we are not their friends. "Arting on what I consider to be the interest of the white line Democracy and having an eye single to the welfare and peace of the State and unity of the party. I cannot endorse Governor Vardaman's special brand of politics My county and State failed to do so in 1907, and I will not surrender my record and convictions of a lifetime, even at the suggestion of a large number of my good friends who had a chance to vote for Governor Vardaman for Senator in 1907 and failed to do so. Governor Vardaman is a brilliant and magnificent man, he has a host of friends that he deserves, personally I admire him, but he hasn't got his politics on straight in the old Democratic style, according to my ideas. It is only fair to say that just as good Democrats as ever I admired to be entertain a different view from mine. I have no criticism to make, except to point out the THE NEW 1 FREDERICK DOUGLASS: BORN FEBRUARY 12, 1818 difference I may not be always right, but I have the courage of my convictions and I always stand by them, as everybody in Yazoo County knows I never hide them when it is proper to express them. I am with that conservative element that believes in white supremacy for ever, and peace, rather than in sowing the dragon's teeth of race prejudice, which is, as God knows, too prevalent among us."

ASK NEGRO WOMEN TO BE SUFFRAGISTS MRS. O. H. P. BELMONT SPEAKS Makes Strong Plea for Co-operation-Little Enthusiasm Shown Mrs.Villard and Others Talk At a public meeting of the Negro Women's Business League of Greater New York, held last Sunday afternoon at Mount Olivet Baptist Church, 161 West St. street, Mrs. Oliver H P Belmont and Mrs. Henry Vallard addressed a gathering of Negro women in the interest of the Political Equality Association, and more than one hundred women became suffragists. The addresses on behalf of woman suffrage did not evoke much applause, and several who joined the Political Equality Association declared after the meeting that their only connection with the organization would be in the nature of lending financial aid to Miss Irene L. Moorman, president of the League, president and introduced the speakers. Mrs. Belmont read her speech from typewritten manuscript. During her address she said My friends, why have you asked me to come to you today, and why am I here. Because, perhanks, even without your knowing it, you feel that bond of human equality which alone the woman suffrage movement can create and one of its exponents, come because I know that unless this cause means free and equal rights to all women of every race of every creed rich or poor its desirces are worthless and it must fail in its achievements. As president of the Political Equality Association I extend to all present an earnest invitation to join my assent. The amount of annual dues is left to the discretion of each member. Mrs Henry Vilatil was the next speaker. With emphasis she dwelt on the services of her father in originating the suffrage movement. She continued "To me the right of suffrage has always seemed so self evident. Yet I know there are mountains of prejudice to be overcome and they will be, as they were in the cause of slavery. The great argument I put forward is the great principle of democracy. It is as valuable to women as to men. "It gratifies me that Negroes are becoming aroused to the cause of suffrage, for it is a greater cause than that of anti-slavery, because its object is to free the mind." The president of the New York State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs Mrs Fannie R Kasser, declared that it was wonderful to be a Negro at just this time in this glorious era, for the race is now a sort of balance of power. Mrs Fila Hawley Crossett president of the State Suffrage Association, asked the women to send a delegation to Albany, March 9 to appear before the Legislative Committee at the hearing on the Woman Suffrage bill. Cleveland O Feb 8 — "Well" said Prince Hunley, head of the service department of the Hollenden Hotel, last Thursday, as he took another look at the $2,000 check which he received as part of the reward for the capture of Billy Whitla's kidnappers. "I think about twenty acres of land at $100 per, east of Cleveland, would just suit me in my old age." He paused a moment READ THE NEW YORK AGE A National Weekly of Large Circulation Appears on the news stands of Greater New York every Thursday Delivered to any address upon application Is the LEADING ADVERTISING MEDIUM of its kind "But I'm still young." he added. "Still" and the Prince took one more gaze at the certified piece of paper. "I know that twenty acres would just about suit me. Me for the gentleman farmer, some day." It will be recalled that Wm. H Hunley, famihly known as "Prince" Hunley, was instrumental in the finding of little Willie Whitla, who was kidnapped from his home in Pennsylvania and carried to Cleveland Special to The New York Ank Iuskeegee, Ala, Feb 5—On Tuesday evening, February 1, Emmett J. Scott was presented with a loving cup, the gift of the four Negro chief musicians of the regimental bands of the 9th and 10th Cavalry, and the 24th and 25th In- fantry, United States Army. The presentation was made in the chapel by Maj J B Ransey, acting on behalf of the chief musicians, in which the speaker recalled the active part played by Mr Scott in causing President Roosevelt to issue an order to the effect that in the future colored regiments should have colored handmasters. The order issued by President Roose- velt was as follows The White House Washington, November 18, 1908 To the Secretary of War Wherever there is a vacancy for bandmaster in a white regiment, transfer a white bandmaster from a colored regiment to it and fill the place by the assignment of a colored man. This is to carry out the spirit of the order I have already issued. As soon as it can be done without injustice, I wish all the colored regiments supplied with colored bandmasters. (Signed) Theodore Roosevelt The cup is a hammered silver affair, with three handles, mounted on an ebony base, and is inscribed Token of Esteem From Chief Musicians Colored Regiments United States Army. December 5th, 1809. to Mr Emmett J. Scott. Tuskegee Institute. Ala. The chief musicians who are at present in charge of these regimental bands are Vadoo H. Harmond, Bandmaster, 5th Cavalry Band, Fort D. A. Russell, Wrotham, Alfred J. Thomas, Chief Musician, 15th Infantry, Ethel H. Vernon, Chief Musician, 15th Infantry, Madison Barracks, New York, and Elbert Williams, Chief Musician, 25th Infantry, Fort Lawton, Washington Remarks of Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott in acknowledging the presentation of the cup said I cannot, of course, find the words now with which fittingly to express the gratitude I feel for this generous recognition of my feeble effort in behalf of these colored regiments. I quite appreciate however that I am quite as much indebted to Maj Ramsey as to them, because I recall now that after this order had been issued and in a copy of it came directly from the White Jackets I had shown it to him he said: "Those men ought to present you with a loving cup," and so I can easily understand why the loving cup has come. After such a season of spiritual exaltation, such as we have had this evening it is hardly the time. It seems to me, for one to indulge in what might be referred to as glorified self-indulgence, and yet I am gratefully appreciative as I need not say of this recognition of my service that I considered a grave injustice to the man who so bravely have fought in all the wars in which they have been permitted to participate. It was of Henry of Navarre, I believe of whom it was said that in the thickest of the fight his white plume was always to be found waving, likewise this has also been true of the Negro regiments of the United States Army. Wherever the fight has been hotest there they have been found fighting gloriously singing a song which they have adopted almost as the patriotic will be hot time in the Old Town tonight." Their names and their fame have been indelibly written upon the scrolls of fame. This is not the time for me to pour out the gratitude I feel, nor to properly appreciate the valor of these splendid men, and yet, Major Ramsey. I would ask you to express to them my sincerest gratitude for their great kindness to me in sending through you this loving cup, which I shall always cherish. Following the presentation, Captain Smith's orchestra played "The Star Spangled Banner," all the young men of the Institute coming to their feet, and at its conclusion giving quite vigorously, led by Capt Austin, a well appropriate to the occasion THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S MUSEUM MISS ESTELLE E. GIBBS PLAN TO GRAB NEXT MARYLAND ELECTION Democrats Devising Another Disfranchisement Measure BOLDEST SCHEME YET Contention to be Made that as State did not Ratify Amendment Restriction is not Binding. the latest scheme to deprive the Negroes of Maryland of the ballot, former State Senator Marion V Brewington, of Wrexcom County, has made public that the Democrats are to put forward the boldest scheme ever submitted to disfranchise the Negro voters Still chagrimed over the defeat administered last November the radical Democrats are scheming to grab the next Maryland election by means of a highway method if possible The new plan is nothing less than to take over the election two years hence, at which a Governor will be named, in addition to a dozen or more important State offices, by refusing to register any Negro vote in any part of the State, in direct defence of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States The first move in this gigantic scheme is to postpone the general registration of voters, which the law requires shall take place this year, until October of 1911. That will mean only a month before the election, and too late for the Republican managers to take the matter to the Court of Appeals. Then, if it is taken after the election, it will be too late for the grab will have been made and there will be no possible way of recrifying a great wrong In outlining his plan in detail former Senator Brewington showed that the right of the Negro to vote in Maryland under the fifteenth Amendment will be put squarely up to the Supreme Court of the United States, and he believes that it will be decided in favor of this State, in view of the fact that Maryland never ratified the amendment. The Supreme Court, according to Senator Brewington, has always sidestepped that question, and he believes that it is just waiting for an opportunity to decide that Negroes have not the right of suffrage in those States which never ratified the amendment. If that is done, every State south of the Mason and Dixon line will be forever rid of the Negro vote, a thing which the Democratic managers in Maryland have been trying to bring about for years. The great stroke will be to postpone the general registration, declared Senator Brewington. If that registration takes place in October, 1911, and it can be ac- complished in three weeks we will then have the state in our own hands. If the democratic managers will adopt any suggestions we will then refuse to register any Negro voter in any part of the state. The election will then therefore be conducted without a Negro vote, and if the republicans take the matter to the court of appeals and the election is declared void we will still be the winner. The court of appeals cannot order a new election, and as we control the state senate, it will name the governor by reason of the election being declared void by the court of appeals, and the senate and house of negroes have the authority to say who shall sit in those bodies. The republicans will have to take the question of our refusing to register Negroes to the Supreme Court, if they do not win in the court of appeals, and if they do then they will be bound to be put squarely up to that court, as every Southern state desires should be done. NEGRO STUDENTS AT BOWDOIN Samuel Dreear and Arthur Alexander Members of Senior Class—Well Liked by Fellow Students. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Brunswick, Me., Feb 8—There are two Negroes who are members of the senior class at Bowdoin College—Samuel Herman Dreear of Washington and Arthur Alexander Madison of Montgomery, Ala. Fighty-four years ago John Brown Russwurm graduated from Bowdoin College, the first Negro to receive a degree from the institution, which was then less than a quarter century old. Since that time there have been no Negro students at Bowdoin until the present day, when there are three—two of them members of the senior class and one a freshman. John Brown Russwurm, who graduated so many years ago, proved a credit to the college, and if Dreear and Madison keep up the good work they have begun they also will be heard from in years to come. Russwurm was born October 1, 1790, at Port Antonio, Jamaica. He graduated from Bowdoin in 1826, and later received the degree of master of arts. He served as governor of the State of Maryland in Liberia, and died at Cape Palmas, June 17, 1851. Drear and Madison both came to Bowdoin for the same purpose—to obtain their education in a typical New England college. Drear was graduated with honors from the Colored High School of Washington in 1907, and has proved a good student at Bowdoin. He was recently elected to membership in the German Society—the Deutscher—and is known as a good debater. Arthur Alexander Madison is a graduate of the Alabama State Normal School of Montgomery, graduating second. After spending two years at Howard University he entered Bowdoin. Both students are well liked, and are rooming on the campus Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS HONOR PUPIL OF HOBOKEN, N.J. HONOR PUPIL OF HOBOKEN, N.J. Estelle E. Gibbs Wins First Prize Among 10,000 AVERAGE 99% PER CENT. Presented With Gold Medal at Graduating Exercises Last Saturday by Mayor Gonzales. Did Not Enter High School Monday—Supt. Demarest Anxious to Have Estelle Continue in School. Fourteen year-old Estelle E Gibba, who lives with her parents at 512 First street, is the most thoroughly discussed person in Hoboken, N J. She enjoys the distinction of being the best pupil in the public schools of her town. To support her claim that she ranks above the other pupils she has in her possession a gold medal which bears the inscription: "Honor pupil for general excellence, February 1910- Stella Gibbs." In Hoboken 10,000 white pupils attend the public schools and fifteen colored. I stole recently averaged 991-3 per cent in six branches, winning first prize. Had she not made 96 per cent. in geography she would have averaged 100 per cent. Last Friday at the graduating exercises of the Hoboken Public School pupils at the Gavety Theatre, this bright Miss was presented with the gold medal by Mayor Gonzales, who was profuse in his praise of the little Negro girl who succeeded in winning first prize among the 10,000 pupils of Hoboken In all of her studies Estelle was rated at 100. In geography she made 96. The five branches in which she reached the maximum were history, civics, spelling, arithmetic and grammar. Eighteen question were posted at the geography examination, and the pupils had the privilege of selecting ten to answer. Estelle is said to have picked out the ten hardest. Last Monday Estelle occasioned no little comment by announcing that she did not intend to enter High School. When Superintendent of Instruction Demarest learned that she had not entered High School with her classmates a messenger was sent to the Gibbs home, where it was made known that Estelle had decided to quit school and take up music. When asked by a representative of The Aco why she was averse to going through High School, Estelle said: "I want to be in a position to earn a livelihood, and I have planned to study music, believing that it is the best course to follow. You see, I fear they would not permit me to teach in Hoboken, even if I passed with a high average, owing to my color "I am now fourteen years old, I would have to go to High School for four years and then take a normal course for two years. Then I would be twenty years old, and if I was refused a position as teacher it would mean quite a setback to me." Sunt Demarest is exceedingly anxious to have the honor pupil of the year continue in school. If he insures Estelle that she will not be discriminated against on account of color she will probably enter High School. Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs are very proud of their daughter, and take pride in telling of the record she has made. Mr. Gibbs is a Pullman car porter on the Lackawanna Railroad. Mrs. Gibbs is a graduate of a normal school in Virginia. There are two other daughters in the family. I ouse, aged 12, and Mary, who is ten years old. Both are desirous of emulating the example set by their oldest sister. GOLD IN LIBERIA Precious Metal and Diamonds Have Been Found Thirty Miles From Coast. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Washington, D. C. Feb 8- Gold and diamonds have been discovered in Liberia about thirty miles from the coast, according to a report to this government by Charge d'Affairs George W. Ellis of Monrovia. In his report the charge says "The discoverer called at this consulate general with a quantity of the metal which he had obtained near the settlements, together with photographs showing himself and the natives at work. He also had a diamond in the rough, found in the same section. "The discoverer has been engaged for the past few months in gold washing in Montserrado County, about fifty miles from Monrovia. The gold has been recovered from the beds of small streams, although the discoverer has located the metal in the larger streams. In thirteen days, at a cost of about $15, he secured $57.00 worth of gold, according to his submitted statement, and with skilled labor and up-to-date applications the product could be greatly increased." that there an oppor- enter this berie, and layed, as get all The recommendation would seem to be just unity for American cap phase of the development that action should not Europeans are pressing the mining rights of th AMONG THE CHURCHES BISHOP WALTER'S FAREWELL.

The prices are very reasonable and the accommodations are adequate to the needs of busy women. The rate for single night's lodging is 25 cents, for room rent by the week $150 to $250, and for board 10 to 20 cents for breakfast, 15 cents for lunch and 25 cents for dinner or $3 a week. It is the aim of the association to offer to as many young women as the building will hold the home life that is needed in the large city. The house committee and the committee on the boarding department are working very earnestly to improve these two phases of the work. They are glad to receive contributions of money, articles of furniture or grocery supplies for their work.

Plains Abbey, Tunnell Addresses Teachers in Gov. Lee Dew. Senior Correspondence of The Aux. Washington, D. C., February 9 - As he reasonably expected, Hon John C Dancy entered upon his fourth term as order of deeds some days ago, so that one who desire change are not now making his way now pointing their attainment at him. There is a movement, it is said by those who suppose they will affected thereby, to usher among the washington official colter Archbold H Hmke, of Boston, who is well known of the capital. The committee of doctors in charge of the NM A gathering next summer has almost completed its larger plans concerning the scientific work which is to be undertaken by the medical association and have worked out laborate and thorough plans such as the various facilities at Washington will center of the taps for the week, however, has been given over to the elementary schools of Washington. A round table reunion of the twelfth division of which Dr W S Montgomery is supervisor, was held at the Armstrong Technical High School on Saturday evening, the programme being literary, musical and prandial. Mr J C. Payne acted as toastmaster on the occasion introducing Miss Lucy E Lumpkins, who spoke on "The Primary School". J W Cromwell, who spoke on "The Grammar School in Town and County", R C Bruce, "Our Public Schools", and Dr W S Montgomery. The Special Educational Impetus of the Division" Dr Montgomery was the guest of the evening. The program also included short addresses by supervising principals John C. Nalle, Marion P. Shadda and James F. Walker, an instrumental solo by Miss Serena Carter, a paper by Francis L. Cardozo on "Lan paper" a recitation by Miss Thomasine Corshner a paper by Mrs E W Tarnell on "Methods of Science Teaching" a trombone solo by W L Browne, a paper by James Le C Chestnut on "Arithmetic" another by Miss M L Jordan on "Geography- Its Educational History" A special menu was prepared by pupils of Armstrong Technical High School under the direction of Misses Alice Nelson and Bessie Miller. Rev W. V Tunnell, of the board of education addressed the body of teachers of the elementary schools at the M Street High School a few days ago His subject was "Our Trust," in dealing with which he referred very hopefully to the securing of a large quota for colored schools for 1911 to balance the small appropriation for 1910. He gave the credit for the work largely to the assistant superintendent of schools and various influential citizens of Washington working through and with the committee of the board of education in charge of matters concerning appropriations, of which he is a member. The general trend of Dr Tunnell's remarks, however, was an analysis of the criminal record of Washington Negroes furnished by the police reports, as compared with the records of the white citizens. This analysis proved exceedingly interesting, especially when illuminated by special research data which the speaker had personally prepared for several months. Rev. George W. Lee, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, died last Sunday at his home in Eleventh street after suffering from asthma for a period of more than eight months. His body lay in state at the church from Wednesday morning at nine o'clock until eleven o'clock on Thursday morning, the funeral services then being conducted by Rev Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church Rev M W D Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church Rev W Bishop Johnson, pastor of the Second Baptist Church and Rev Gordon pastor of the Walker Memorial Church. The interment will be in Pavine's cemetery Rev Lee was fifty-nine years of age, being born in Rertie County, N.C., as slave. He came to Washington in 1885 as pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church and there built up one of the largest congregations in the United States, consisting of about five thousand members. Not long ago he was accounted as delegate to the ecumenical conference of 1910 at Edinburgh, Scotland. Rev Lee was well known along the upper Potomac as a fisherman, being a great follower of the avocation of Ike Walton. His pallidearners were selected from the members of the congregation, the Old Fellows, Knights of Pothas St Luke's True Reformers and Masons, of which the deceased was a member. Rev Lee leaves a wife and son. The School Teacher for February is probably the best number of this interesting magazine which has yet appeared.

McKenley to deliver the lecture on Monday evening last on "The Asiatic Problem. Its Effects Upon the Pacific Coast." This topic was taken under the head of sociological studies. The speaker was formerly a district attorney for San Francisco and accompanied Mr. Taft through the Orient. He treated his subject at first hand. He told of the demands made upon the school authorities by the Japanese of San Francisco and the fight with the local authorities there which caused President Roosevelt to send a message demanding that the Japanese children be taken into the public schools on perfect equality with all other children. He spoke of the labor conditions in Japan. China and India as contrasted with those in the United States showing that wages paid in the United States are several hundred per cent higher than those in the far east. He said that President Taft probably understood the issue involved in the encroachment of eastern civilization better than any man in the United States and was better prepared to handle the question A rare but most gratifying form of reward for the faithful performance of duty was adopted recently by Mrs. E.

Controversy Over Financial Affairs of Morris Brown-Bishops Mixed Up in Row. Atlanta, Ga, Feb 8 A hively row seems to be on and has been on for several days in this city between Rev Stinson, the financial agent of Morris Brown College, Bishop Turner and Bishop Flipper on one side, and President Lee and Bishop Smith on the other side. The controversy has been raging furiously through the white daily papers for several days, and no one knows when the end will be. Without mentioning details, it seems that the row started over a public meeting in the interest of Morris Brown College. President Lee and Bishop Smith said that no meeting was necessary, as the college did not need money. Bishop Turner, Bishop Flipper and Rev Stinson said the college did need money. Bishop Smith is in charge of the diocese of Georgia, but he seems to be in a peck of trouble with two bishops residing in the State against him.

On Wednesdays evening at Harter's Hall, Illion, the Phyllis Wheatly Club held a Japanese Festival. The hall was beautifully and appropriately decorated with Japanese lanterns, bunting and chrysanthemums. For over an hour the club members tastefully gowned as Japanese ladies received their guests. As each one filed past the reception committee he was presented with a place card written in Japanese style. The gentleman's cards contained the first line of a Mother Goose rhyme. His partner for supper was the lady whose card contained the concluding line of his rhyme. Much amusement was obtained by comparing cards. When this was successfully accomplished all the party repaired to the dining room and were regaled with a delicious repast, served by dainty Japanese waitresses. A programme comprising Japanese vocal and instrumental wavers and essays on Japan followed and was much enjoyed.

The ladies were all in costume which gave hint to the passers by that the house had been transformed into an oriental hangalow. Upon entering the guests were invited to the side porches, where tea and sweetments were served, then they were seated on rugs and cushions in real Japanese style, and devoted themselves to the games of the evening. The most interesting was the Holden Hearts, and upon counting the score it was discovered that Mrs H C Cantwell and Ernest Baillou had made top scores. Mrs W Kemp and Chas Hudson were consulted.

Saturday, February 12, is officially set apart as the day upon which the nation will pay homage to the greatness and service of Abraham Lincoln. The Negroes of this country in varying measures will observe the day as Lincoln and Douglass Day. They will then celebrate the birthday not only of the Great Emancipator, but as well that of their great Abolitionist and leader, Frederick Douglass. We have been pleased to note the adoption in various places throughout the country of the name we have long proposed for the day of Lincoln and Douglass Day. We wish that the other suggestion we have urged of a race contribution on that day toward the payment of the mortgage on the home of the lamented Douglass would be as generally followed There is no Negro who to-day breathes the air of our greater liberty beneath the Stars and Stripes but is indebted to Frederick Douglass. He has left the Negro a precious heritage of high example, manly effort and lasting achievement. 'Tis but a petty service that a freed race may render in return, and the race should now welcome it. Every meeting held in commemoration of Lincoln and Douglass should raise a contribution toward the payment of the three thousand five hundred dollar mortgage still standing against Cedar Hill, at Anacostia, District of Columbia. Let the race generally observe Lincoln and Douglass Day. WORTHILY REMEMBERED Emmett J. Scott, commissioner to Liberia and secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, was presented Tuesday evening, February 1, at Tuskegee, a silver loving cup, the gift of the four colored Chief Musicians of the four Colored Regiments in the United States Army. In accordance with the order issued by President Roosevelt at the solicitation of Mr. Scott, the last of the four regiments was recently supplied with a colored band master, and acting through Major Ramsey, commandant at Tuskegee, they promptly and properly recognized the source of their appointments. With characteristic point and modesty Mr. Scott said: It is hardly the time, it seems to me for one to indulge in what might be referred to as glorified self-laudation, and yet I am gratefully appreciative as I need not say this recognition of the effort I made right before writing a grave injustice to the men who so bravely have fought in all the wars in which they have been permitted to participate. It was of Henry of Navarre, I believe of whom it was said that in the thickest of the fight his white plume was waving; likewise this has also been true of the Negro regiments of the United States Army. Emmett J. Scott in securing Negro army band masters rendered not only the band masters and the Negro regiments but the Negro race a proud service. The silver loving cup in remembrance represents, therefore, the esteem not only of the Negro soldier but of the Negro race as well A SORRY FIGURE: Tom Watson, the populist politician of Georgia, has the unhappy faculty of keeping his ignorance and race prejudice in the limelight. From the standpoint of futile efforts and misery of soul, the leader of the populists is the most sorry spectacle in our national life. In that he is a poor degraded Southern white and can gain the public's ear, he has an opportunity akin to that of Hinton Rowan Heper, the apostle of their kind in slavery days. But he is mastered by a vain and selfish ambition. He is eaten up by jealousy and race prejudice. His own narrowness destroys the good he might do in calling attention to the millions of poor white victims of Southern race conditions. Like the little boy with his bow and arrow who goes forth to fight the armor-clad battleship, in his latest ebullition Tom Watson essays to combat the mighty steel king, Andrew Carnegie. The latter's Armstrong Association address was loaded with facts concerning the --- Meggie's worth and progress. He gave incidentally an accurate summary of the rapid rise of his own remarkable Scotch race during the last two centuries. Then calmly and courageously, Mr. Carnegie said "The lowest Negro of the South is more advanced than were his ancestors in Scotland two hundred years ago." Against stubborn truths, Tom Watson shoots his shafts of Negrophobia and bad names. He offers no argument in rebuttal. He simply resorts to ungentlemanly and irrelevant assertions as to how Mr Carnegie got his money. He attempts to asperse the philanthropist's great and good name by vituperation and slander. But in facts and argument Mr Watson thereby recognizes he is worsted. Having the blood of old Scotland in his veins, he says that he has been grossly insulted. Doubtful as the possibility of that is, he avails himself of the opportunity to get into the public print. Each such exhibition by the Southern populists and demagogues only sinks them deeper in public esteem. It only renders more remote and difficult the uplift of their benighted brethren. Only is it unfortunate that Tom Watson's unfortunate class has such a sorry figure for a leader THE DANBURY HATTERS The Negro people of this country will generally appreciate the decision of the jury in the union boycott case at Danbury, Connecticut. The jury there decided that Martin Lawler and his associates of the United Hatters have caused an actual loss and damage to the affected hat manufacturers to the amount of $74,000. The law authorizes threefold damages, and the defendants of the labor union must therefore pay $222,000. The union cannot charge unfairness in that the great boon they seek of jury trial was granted. Such great damages will be most effective in putting an end to that lawless labor institution, the boycott. Negro labor will especially rejoice that union labor has been deprived of its greatest weapon in its attempt to corner and dominate the labor market. The Negro is not one whit less in favor of organized labor than its most ardent advocates. He recognizes that masmuch as capital is organized, labor, too, should be organized. The boons to labor in shorter hours and improved working conditions so largely the result of the union's efforts, he gladly credits. Neither does he excuse the tyranny of the trusts. The present high prices of food affect him most grievously with every other element of the laboring population. But the high cost of living only adds to the woes of industrial suppression which the labor union imposes upon him. Two millions of organized laboring men have used their power to deny the right to work to the many more millions of unorganized laboring men, among whom are the hosts of black laboring men. In the industrial struggle, especially in the north and west, the black man has not been given a square deal. The labor union so far as he is concerned has played the game with stacked cards. He has been denied employment because he did not belong to the union. Almost without exception he does not belong to the union because the union will not let him join. The leaders of labor are for the most part prejudiced men, whose only qualifications for leadership have been a desire and a swaying voice. They have led their followers into confusing liberty with license. They have invented such unamerican institutions as the closed shop and the boycott The American nation through her juries is putting an end to their evil practices. All labor must profit COLLECTOR EIDMAN Hon Ferdinand Eidman, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Third District of New York, informed Collector Anderson on last Thursday that he had appointed Walter Cole, a competent colored Republican, as deputy collector of internal revenue, to assist in the collection of the corporation tax authorized by the recent corporation tax law. While Mr. Cole was taken from the civil service list of eligibles as required by law, the promptness with which the appointment was made places Collector Eidman in the list of Republicans who are willing to give representation to colored voters whenever an opportunity presents itself. We congratulate Mr Eidman and wish for him continued success in administering the duties of his high office THE NEGRO AND TEMPERANCE We have observed pretty closely the influence of prohibition in the South upon the masses of the Negroes, and, while we are perfectly aware of the fact that at many points the prohibition law is not observed, especially on the part of the white people, we are nevertheless convinced that prohibition is having a good effect upon the colored people, especially in the rural districts. The information we receive from our ministers is that in communities where colored people used to spend a large portion of their earnings for whiskey, especially on Saturdays, the habit has almost completely disappeared, and these same people are now spending their money in purchasing homes and in maintaining their families. Estelle Gibbs; a Negro girl of Hoboken, N. J., was awarded the gold medal by Mayor Gonzales last Friday as the brightest of ten thousand pupils in the Hoboken public schools. The medal is awarded annually to the child in the graded schools who makes the highest percentage Estelle Gibbs made her record marks in the examination for admission to the high school Gratifying and remarkable as was this result for this little Negro girl of such tender years, yet by itself there might be nothing phenomenal in this record. But when the perfection of her scholarship is told, her record seems little short of prodigious. Estelle Gibbs scored 90.33 per cent. She was "perfect" in everything except geography, in which she received the mark of 90. The examination by which she achieved her triumph was made up of eighteen questions, out of which the candidate was at liberty to select any ten. Estelle Gibbs painstakingly selected the most difficult ten questions on the list Two interesting conclusions often asserted and more often doubted naturally follow from the exhibition of this Negro mental prodigy. Genius knows neither race nor color—nor sex. An eleven-year-old student of Russian Hebrew parentage has recently astonished the eminent gray-haired professors of Harvard University with his dasquisitions on the fourth dimension. Two other boy prodigies, one of German parentage and the other of purely American-English parentage, are now students in the classic Cambridge institution. But in each of the other cases the child has been blessed by parents of unusual mental endowments and of professional employment. The little colored girl has been reared by respectable parents but of humble occupations. The Negro race, like other races, has innate capacity and infinite possibilities. Estelle Gibbs further proves that the Negro race for development needs only the opportunity and the environment The Negro indeed needs the training of the hand and heart He also needs the training of the head He may be an adept in agriculture and mechanical pursuits He can master mathematics He will qualify in the classes and in culture His education should be without let or hindrance. Estelle Gibbs is a remarkable girl for any race Her case has attracted the attention of the public There she has served her race and her race is proud of her But there are thousands of little Estelle Gibbs among the ten millions and more of black Americans. These the public does not know. These will be their leaders to-morrow in every phase of human activity, assuring the world that the Negro is a strong integral factor in the American nation. LIBERIA. GO SLOWLY. Great stimulus will probably be given to America's interest in Liberia by the report just sent to Washington by the charge d'affairs, George W. Ellis, of Monrovia Both gold and diamonds have been discovered about thirty miles from the coast. At an expense of about $15, the charge says, gold worth $57 00 has been secured. He further recommends that Americans seize this opportunity, as Europeans are pressing for permission to exploit these Liberian resources. This is indeed a happy coincidence with America's investigation of Liberian conditions. So great a return on gold-seeking investments will doubtless cause an onrush of American capital to the African republic. The Liberans should consider well the steps they take in the flush of their promised new era. What they do now will be of vital influence in their future affairs and status. They should not grant a disproportionate number of concessions. Nor should these be granted in haste, nor permanently, nor without firm strings attached to them. American can capital should, of course, be encouraged. But even in the invitation to American capitalists I Liberans should have a care and a calm look at the future. She will best proceed by going slowly and surely. She must remember that Liberans is to be for Liberans. A USEFUL GRAMMAR A clean and concise little grammar which should serve well its purpose is the little volume entitled "A Quick Review in English Grammar," compiled by James T. Phillips, instructor in English and literature at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg. It will doubtless be suited, as the author states, "to the uses of classes in review English in the high, normal and secondary schools, especially in the South." A concise exposition of the elements of English grammar, each rule is clearly illustrated in a way to impress itself upon the pupil's mind. There is much need among Southern institutions for a greater emphasis upon the fundamentals of English. With few exceptions, there is an apparently superficial training in the mother tongue. In most institutions where the dead languages and the social sciences are taught there is an emphasis put upon these to the detriment of the student's more useful and important study. Mr. Phillips' little work is along the right direction. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. "It is not the high cost of living that is bothering the country, but the cost of high living," says James J. Hall, and he ought to know --- Representative Foster of Vermont says with many other congressmen throughout the country "My district does not want any more of Speaker Cannon." It's not what the country wants that makes it fat, but what it gets. --- The daily press seems to be startled by the way the colored women fell for the suffragette idea at the suggestion of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont. The colored sister is not one whit behind the Caucasian sex either in her desire for or her adoption of the frills and fads of fashion. 一 The six candidates in the field against the candidacy of ex-Governor James K. Vardaman for the Mississippi United States senatorship propose to break the deadlock by combining their strength against him. But, gentlemen, please don't forget you are up against the best cracker in the country. --- The Republican insurgents against the House Rules and Speaker Cannon have been driven deeper in despair by the offer of the congressmen in Roosevelt's home districts to resign in his favor and the proposal for his election to the speakership Better bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of --- The Springfield Republican, speaking on the ability of Paris to recuperate from her flood losses, says No city in the world has poured into its lap such a stream of gold by foreign pleasure seekers as the French capital. Oh, Paree, the beautiful, Paree the frivolous, when before hast this nature been desecrated by the neuter gender? --- The Maine delegation in Congress has voted to empower one of its members to ask Congress to officially name Commander Robert E. Peary as the discoverer of the Pole, and to promote him to the rank of rear admiral of the navy. Well, then they ought to ask Congress to make "Mat" Henson rear-rear-admiral at the same time We told you so. William O"Brien and "Tim" Hess will lead the independent Nationalist group in Parliament in opposition to John Redmond, leader of the Nationalist forces and whose fight for Home Rule for Ireland has challenged the sympathy and admiration of the entire world. The ability of the Irish to fight among themselves at critical moments is exceeded only by the ability of that other equally distinguished race --- The Ringling Bros circus trust is reported in Baraboo. Wise, to have divided $1,000,000 as profits of the season of 1909, $600,000 of which represented the profits of the Barnum & Bailey show and the balance the net earnings of the Ringling Bros show. All of which testifies to the nation's love of show, or, as P T Barnum put it, The American people like to be humbugged 一 The wonder as to whether the Administration will be able to bring down the price of food reminds us of an incident in the backwoods of Missouri with a lean and lanky farmer on the top of a brush heap into which a rabbit had run figuring as the features. The interrupted toiling huntman on being asked as to whether he thought he would get the rabbit, replied. Get 'im, I golly, we got to get me up, we are out of meat. New Beatitudes. Doctrine Applied to Others President Taft is too great a head of the nation to apply the discriminative spirit as regards to official recognition of citizens, for this is a Government of the whole people and all States and sections, and the voice of fair play and justice should more now than ever he given action. Would President Taft think of saying that no United States would allow people of the United States would attempt to take a census of the English, French, Dutch or Swedish people of these United States? The President would not dare to make such a discrimination, for it would be a blow at the rights and human liberties of people whose spirit would give immediate resentment with action telling against such people. The President will consider the colored people of this country more as citizens and not as wards of the nation—The Galveston City Times. AN GYMBOOK. You think me giftful? I thank you sir, sir. For words like this, I am a sense of pleasure. Be the queen or slave She would be fair, as all men would be blighted. You would not give expression were I queen Behind the pensive pallor of my skin You your blood mixed by that old chemist- You know I stand outside convention's pale. And she is for granted that I am for sale. You are a white man with a jealousy A proud white woman and a child I see Full offer at your side God has been kind Full offer at your side God has been kind Which was it left out of me, for I would die Rather than sell my virtue you would buy A midday sun and lawless eon nights Mingles To make this beauty which delights And lurid in my veins you think must run I and lurid in my veins you think must run I and lurid in my veins you think must run I and lurid in my veins you think must run His lasted moments when Night, sweet and young.

Your heart is blacker than the blood in me; And mine, I feel, the noble pedigree WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY The way the colored political aspirants in Cambridge got together, and decided who should make the contest for representation in the city government, is truly emblematic of the American political system. The keynote of the conference, and both men played a commendable part.—The Cambridge Advocate. --- Every time we hear from Colonel Roosevelt here of late he is "on safari" it would be a great relief to a watchful and impatient nation, mindful of the safety and jealous of the honor of her sons, if he would get off safari and get on Sahara as soon as possible. We hope that his lust for African meat will him from his love for his Western idols—The Colorado Statesman. --- What is the sense of the race trying to unrace itself, or to get away from itself, the individuality of any race is significant. No race or people, or tribe or nation ever amounted to anything that was ashamed of its identity. If the race be true of itself, Climb from the depths of poverty, despair and race hatred to the very apex that shall be glorious in art, literature, science, religion, education and politics. Dive to the depths and rise to the highest heights, so that when the roll is called for great men and women in any of those lines that I may observe in answer to our names CLIMB - Atlanta Independent --- The Negro has played no mean part in helping to develop the resources of this country, and has become a tremendous factor in building up its great institutions, and in all that will tend to influencing the destiny of the world in the Future. Then he should be responsible for honoring his hope and outlook that is credited to him in the short space of forty-seven years. Let us be thankful to God for the opportunity, though limited, and ask him to help us to bear the responsibilities we are to assume to reach the goal of success. The privileges and opportunities are now as never before, and the time is now to us all to do our best with all happiness for the holy cause of our freedom. The Nashville Clarion One John Hancock signed an immortal document in which it stated that all men are "untitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," but he added quite a few years ago. Recently John Hancock, but evidently of another breed, wants to promote a document, the principles of which are, that only a certain class of men are entitled to such privileges, and so he wants people who are a little older to be given the right to troop cars, and that end wishes to give certain police powers to street car conductors. The only comment we have to make on this degenerate Hancock's attitude is that all fools are not dead and if the fool-killer" should be fearful of his life, Haltman. Afro-American. If a white man is disqualified to count Negroes, he is disqualified to count white men, and this proposition is equally true of the black man, and moreover that the government should select the most efficient class of enumerators without regard to race or color. For this reason the best interests of the government would be enumerators exclusively. Our position is not one of discrimination against nor in favor of any race or class of people, but in the interest of the services to be rendered to all of the people.

If by remaining as they are there is now nor will be any hope of our girls getting into the school, and if the School Board is willing to give us proper accommodations in the way of buildings, etc. then The Boston Citizen will heartily support the proposition for colored schools in Dayton. There is no incentive to our girls and boys who are thinking of preparing to teach under the present state of things no less than board up apples for negro children to be taught by negro teachers, that is if all else will be equal We have not changed in our position. We believe in the equality of men, we have nothing for "Imcrilamam to do. But we do not wish to stand in the way of the ambition of our aspiring young men and women, even if we have to have negro schools in this city. Boston Citizen Why is it that the people of the south refuse to abandon the pernicious principles that almost wrecked the American Union in 1861? And why is it that a great many people in the north encourage them to perpetuate those principles in idol and foolishness, that the men who fought to maintain slavery and wreck a nation believed that they were right. They knew that they wore, wrong, and any statement to the contrary is an insult to their intelligence. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON The Story of the Negro It was not until 1834 that the first colored physician Dr. C N Dorsette set up an office and began to practice medicine in Montgomery Alabama. Previous to that time I did not think there was a Negro doctor, dentist, or pharmacist in the State. At the present time there is a hundred and the members of these three professions dominate a flourishing State Association.

A recent book by Mr. Charles A Swan, for twenty-three years a missionary in Angola, wrote that the flesh that is going on in that colony in violation of Portuguese law, without the slightest effort on the part of the Portuguese colonial authorities to check it.

Since one of the government music men has raised a terrible storm by pronouncing "Dixie" the most popular national song, it seems meet for The Appeal to say its say about the storm. It also assures that the opinion "Dixie" if it of unmistakable Negro origin, and was probably written and arranged by Dan Emmett from what he had heard the Negroes of his company sing. Indeed, old Dan, in his account of the alma way he came to write about the storm and added that he says. When caught in inclement weather, the Negroes with the circus were wont to wish they were back in Dixieland "This is undeniable proof of the Negro origin of the song which he wrote."

The people of Vicksburg and St. Louis have watched the progress of the fight for the extinction of Albert Marbles, the Negro, charged with a assault to kill a white man of Vicksburg, and the Negro, charged with a assault to kill a white man of Vicksburg, was thoroughly investigated by leading Negro citizens of St. Louis before any aid was given him, and so firmly convinced were they of his innocence, that his case was taken to the United States Supreme Court. The chief fear would be lynched, or not given a fair trial if taken back to Vicksburg, Miss. But since the highest court of resort has decided that he could be taken back, all the St Louis friends of Marbles how to that decree. Marbles and the Negro fight against race prejudice and petty spite on the part of those who were assisting Sheriff Kelly of Vicksburg to take him back a prisoner, and all through the two years' fight for his life. Marble has proven himself a man who worked and cared for his wife and children while awaiting the decision of the court - The St. Louis Palladium. In trying to anticipate developments of the next fifty years, it is necessary to estimate the possibilities of the future. To do this, the progress of the last decade along agricultural lines of Southern activity, it will not be necessary to wait much longer to predict with confidence what may be wrought in the next half cen- Twenty years ago comparatively few persons of Negro descent, knew how to farm, how to use the brain as well as the muscle in tilling the earth. Of course our fore-fathers raised cotton and did not get the results but, they did not get the results from the scientific farmer of to-day gets. Why did they not get the same results? Was not the soil just as fertile? Was not the air as pure? Was it because the sun did not shine or was because our ancestors did not it was because our ancestors norm. When they did get a good crop, they called it luck and even today the farmer who is a failure, is always talking about luck—either bad luck or good luck. Why, there is no reason to be lucky when we apply it to the breaking of seeds—the Charleston Messenger Negro Wit and Wisdom (From Capt.

RICHMOND NEGROES' PROGRESS Richmond Dispatch Bears Wife and Commends Progress in Enforcement. The people of Richmond are also interested in the progress of sur la population. The more generous of whites have shown their interest aiding every effort to improve the moral condition of the Negroes; thus as a whole has dealt fairly white and has encouraged them to thrift good order. If the results of this joy have been real and lasting white have themselves to thank well as the Negroes. The most recent proof of what the madm Negroes are doing is seen in Auditor's report, where their prize is listed. Perhaps few citizens who prepared for this showing. Negro this city returned real estate to value of $2,057,517, and personalerty in the sum of $473,465. An evidence of good business ability, frugal, careful saving, this record serves the commendation of the city. In rejoicing over these figures, of the colored papers of the city occasion to point out the moral to readers. It says. "While the industrious, well-behaved good-meaning colored people are proving their financial condition indirectly adding to the male wealth of the communities in which they live, the lawless, disreputable ord people are building up brush in our rear by their outrageous duct, and this will tend to deem much of the product of honesty. For the reason, we should study a some method to curb and control wild, dissolute colored elements, who so much concern and no need of annoyance, cannot rely easily upon the police power of native communities in which we live do it. We must do much of the wives ourselves, and our organization of it to themselves and to the race to the government to make an hour persistent effort to reform and rewrite the mass of poverty and crime of the associates. Press to team with the disreputable ord of many of our people who might restrained and taught better." This is good, sound sense that my appeal to every right-thinking man in the city. The Negroes as a who should not properly be judged by a conduct of the worst element, but, rather, by those who are not judged. If this condition of an ever to be corrected it must be the action of the Negroes themselves in frowning upon the criminal and worthy elements in their midst. This city will be gind to see the to be the case of Negroes moving in the direction of the criminalness to the progress they have already made. Ten years ago it was practically impossible to secure evidence against a Negro from those of his or race. At that time a Negro might hidden with friends in Jackson Wash. and could almost laugh at the police. The Negroes would unhesitatingly expose such criminal, and there are others—many of them—who would not be a party concealing them. This of itself shows an upward movement and indicates how the best men among the Negroes are striving again the confidence many of the deserves—The Richmond Times Dipatch MR. CARNEGIE STIRS UP WATTS Time Says Every High-Minded G Appreciates Ironmaster Efforts. Mr Carnegie may not have speeched, in his speech before the Army strong Association, the exact pari when he fancied his Scotch ancestor were no further advanced in civilization than the lower Negro in the South He surely did not say 200 years ago Scotland was a country for the work to reckon with in 1710, more than a century after the monarchical union three years after the legislative union with England. Religious freedom had been established, the high quality of Edinburgh scholarship was undisputed Scotland had great philosophers, poets statesmen and soldiers. Perhaps Mr Carnegie meant 2,000 years ago. Well it would be rash for him to speculate about the morals and manners of his ancestry so far away. It is difficult to place them. They may have been Celts or Picts or Danes. They were certainly rude and unclean. The one thing certain is that Mr Carnegie mount well. He was more expressing his confidence in the Nergo's capacity for development Mr Tom Watson, on the other hand, who he abuses Mr Carnegie, talks like the blathskirts politician. He is proud of his scholarship, his Scott blood, and his stalwart Americanism but he disregards the calls Carnegie had names. The lower Negro in the South is, unhappy in the South and the Negro, too, prefer low in the social scale. Mr Watson however, objects to all Afro-American and so to regard "donations a Negro college" as criminal. Bobbie Burns can teach Tom a thing or two. Thus far Mr Carnegie, though he have confused his dates, has the battle of the argument. Every high-minded Nergo in the South, Scotch or any other Nergo in a think well of him for encouraging the Negro to look hopefully toward the future—The New York Times. Shephard and Friends Honored During Recent Visit President of Cuban Senate Spent a Large Sum of Money on Visitors. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 6.—The attention paid Dr. James E. Shephard and party by Senior Morua M. Delagado, President of the Cuban Senate, during their stay in Cuba was flattering.

Dr. Shepard, who is president and founder of the Religious Training school and Chautauqua for the Negro race, now in course of erection at Durham, N. C., has just completed a tour of a number of Southern States and Cuba, and who was accompanied by a party representative, financiers and professionalism of the race, has caused an effective propaganda of the gospel of self-help and certain educational awakening among the people who heard him on this tour. His lecture at Bethel Baptist Institutional Church, during this tour, on Egypt, Her Past, Present and Future, was a philosophical, historical and comprehensive lecture on a subject that revealed such facts proving the Egyptians to be of African origin. Educators, prominent white citizens and tourists, were bringing the cultured audience that gave Dr. Shenard an ovation upon this occasion. He forcefully narrated the achievements of the Negro during the time that he was contributing products essential for the progress of man during the early ages. ST.

WALTON CONFERENCE ON CONTRACT-BREAKING SEVERAL days ago the heads of the Independent Booking Agency were seriously considering the advisability of barring all colored acts from the circuit Had such a policy been inaugurated the cry of "drawing the color line" would have been raised, and profuse would have been the lamentations that prejudice was growing against the colored performer. As a matter of fact, had such a course been adopted no one would have been to blame but those colored vaudevillians who break their contracts at will. With such frequency have colored performers failed to live up to their written promises with the Independent people of late that a few evenings ago a number of the leading managers of the circuit held a meeting to discuss what steps should be taken to put a stop to contract breaking The proposition to teach irresponsible colored performers a lesson by refusing to book colored acts was broached and discussed. It was decided to first confer with members of the race interested in its welfare and progress of the colored theatrical profession before resorting to such a radical departure, which resulted in a conference between Bob Slater, Wilham C. Elkins and the dramatic editor of THE AGE, representing the colored vaudevillians, and Edward Mozart of the Mozart Circuit, M. R. Sheedy of the Sheedy Circus, and George J. Byrne, manager of the Independent Booking Agency, who set forth the claims of the managers. The general charge was made that over half the colored performers doing business with the Independent Booking Agency put the various managers to considerable expense as well as inconvenience by failing to play at the theatres on the dates mentioned in their contracts. Specific instances were related in which the names of performers were given, showing that they had not kept their word. Other evidence substantiating their assertions was submitted Performers Should Have a Word. As it is not the policy of THE AGE to form conclusion until both sides of a case are heard, an effort was made to learn if the managers of the Independent Circuit have been justified in making the charge of unreliability against colored variety artists. Sad to relate, the majority of indictments have been well founded No specific mention will be made at this writing of the vaudevillans who have proven so untrustworthy in their business dealings, believing that they will soon begin to realize that the only way to get along successfully in business is to have a word and to keep it. If they are wise they will not continue to break contracts and finally have to be taught a lesson by getting barred from the circuit One of the principal reasons for the instability of so many colored vaudevillians is said to be due to their immination to tell their private business to fellow members of the profession. As soon as a performer makes a contract he takes pleasure in showing it to another vaudevillian for comparison. Now, if the other performer has secured more money for his act, and indiscretely says, the artist who has just signed the contract becomes dissatisfied with the bargain he has made. A short time before the act is to open the booking agent will receive word that the performer is sick and cannot go out of the city and trouble follows. Performers should learn to make the best of a bargain irrespective of whether they profit or lose by the deal. Then again, if they were more careful in making their contracts there would be no opportunity for misplaced confidence. A number of instances were also cited by the managers wherein artists have signed to play one theatre for a certain sum and because another manager made an offer of a few dollars more, the first contract was cancelled on some filmsy pretext. Despite the none too praiseworthy conduct of a number of vaudoulis within the past three weeks, the heads of the Independent Booking Agency have decided to continue playing colored acts, and have given their assurance that as long as all contracts are kept colored acts will be played over the circuit. They have promised that there will be no discrimination on account of color, but are as equally assertive that they do not intend to show acts favoritism by reason of color. During the conference it was learned that there was an impression in the Independent Office that the Colored Vaudeville Benvolent Association was counternancing the actions of colored vaudevillians who break contracts and those who would quit rather than open a bill, but the managers were soon disabused of this opinion. They were informed that the Colored Vaudeville Benvolent Association is not a union but a benvolent organization, and the aim of the association is to elevate and raise the standard of the colored performer. As an evidence that the association intends to co-operate with the managers in bringing about a better relationship between all concerned, the Executive Committee of the C V B A has taken up the charges of contract breaking and is giving its moral support to put a stop to such unbusiness-like methods practiced by some of its members. Managlers Want Colored Acts Following are expressions made by prominent managers of the Independent Booking Agency relative to the booking of colored acts I have always played colored acts in my theatres, and will continue to do so providing they keep their word. However, I have been greatly inconvenienced the past three weeks by colored vaudeville films, and about concluded that an agreement had been reached at the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association headquarters to break faith with the Independent Office. Several colored acts have also recently closed at my theatres be- cause they had to open the bill I thought probably this subject had also been discussed by the association I never show any partiality as to making an act appear on the program, and when I assign a colored act to open it is done because I think that is the proper spot for it. The same rule is applicable to white acts M. R. SHEEDY For years I have shown a disposition to play colored acts in my theatres, but I was one of those who was in for refusing to book colored acts over the circuit, as I have been disappointed quite often of late. I do not mean to say that all colored acts are unreliable, that would be going too far, but judging from the business I have carried on with colored vaudevillans, I have reached the conclusion that the majority of them do not consider the signing of a contract with as much seriousness as they should. To-day there are a number of colored acts which I refuse to book because they wither to be taken, or we are the office money. I wish some of these performers could be shown the error of their ways, it would be better for us all. EDWARD MOZART. Since I have been manager of the Independent Booking Agency I have always tried to treat colored acts with every consideration. I would be sorry to see this office bar colored vaudevillians, and do not think such a step is necessary. However, it behooves them to live up to their contracts, which conduct will put them in better standing with the managers. As it has been for several weeks, so many colored acts have failed to keep their promise that we have not been regarding them in any too favorable light. But we are willing to give them another trial GEORGE J. BYRNE KING AM Raising young Comedians who are appearing under the direction WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.

The following advice to performers was recently received from Fargo, N Dak, entitled "Frank Kirk's Commandments." 1 Learn how to make-up 2 Don't let fine clothes consist of your whole act. 3 Don't use local gags 4 Don't use white rings around your eyes and mouth 6 Don't try to tate other performer 6 Briar origi- nals 2 He gentlemen and ladies 8 Don't run down a fellow performer 9 If you're up recognize your fellow performer who is down 10 Don't dance and sing in saloons and other public places for drinks after the show PRE-LENTEN RECITAL I is hardly probable that a more representative and fashionable audience could have been in attendance last Monday evening at the Annual Presenten Recital and Assembly, given at Palm Garden, 55th street and I exington avenue. The elegant gowns of the ladies and the well groomed appearance of the men presented a spectacle that seemed to occasion as much interest as the recital itself. The affair easily proved to be the barner event of the season. The majority of artists participating were new to New Yorkers, but all made a favorable impression. Those to appear under the direction of Walter I Craig were Miss Marie Burton, Soprano, Mme I Kelly-Armstead, contralto, R B Harrison reciter, and I Hill Johnson violinist. Miss Burton is more pleasing in her work than she was a little over a year ago, when she sang in Philadelphia at the Mine Huckle Recital. She now displays temperament which was none too apparent at that time. However, it cannot be said that this young artist from Chicago did much "thwining out" Monday evening until her last number, "Ain't No Use in Crayon," a little Negro ditty, which she artistically rendered with much feeling, showing that she possesses temperament as well as a good soprano voice and a knowledge of how to use it. As for her stage presence, to see her in all her composure suggests to one's mind Peary, Henson and the North Pole. Mme J Kelley-Armstead is another young singer who shows improvement, but she must learn to select numbers which will meet with the hearty apprehension of her audience. "My Heart Is Weary" gave her an opportunity to "show off her voice to advantage, and her second song, "My Hero" from the Chocolate Soldier, was applauded, but a few little simple numbers would have merited for more commendation. The sooner our singers give the public numbers which appeal and with which it is familiar the more marked will be their success. Miss Burton's singing of "Aunt No Use in Crayon" should hear out this statement. Mme Kelley-Armstead has an upper and lower register that should aid her materially in coming to the front as a vocalist. R. B Harrison is one of the foremost, if not the foremost recruit of his race, and at no time did he fail to demand the attention of his audience. Last Monday evening his recitation of "Fra Guacamo" was good, of the "Raven" better, and his delivery of one of Dunbar's selection was best. Mr Harrison was generously applauded. --- ```markdown ``` . F Hall Johnson is a young violinist who made his debut before a local audience, and his admirers predict that he will some day become an artist of no little reputation. Creditable Presentation of the Mischanger. Last Friday evening at Jefferson Hall, Brooklyn, the Mischianza—a festival of the centuries of 1800 and 1900—a fete of yesterday and to-days—was creditably presented by well-known Brooklyn matrons. The affair was given under the management of Mesdames C H Lansin, W. F. Craig, M A. Holbrook, H. T. Mars, J. W Dias, C E. Moore and W C. Greene, and was an artistic as well as a financial success.

Prof. Kelly Miller at Baltimore Y. M. O. A. Urges Athletics—Mrs. Ann Jakes Dend. Regular Correspondence of The Ace. Baltimore, Feb. 8 — That the colored young man and woman must have a well developed body in order to compete successfully with other races was the assertion made by Prof. Kelly Miller of Harvard University, Washington, at a mass meeting under the auspices of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association Sunday afternoon. At the outset of his address Prof Miller reviewed the economic problems that with the invention of the cotton gin, the steam engine and other labor-saving devices. "In the days prior to the invention of machinery," said Prof. Miller, "the product of labor was evenly divided. Nowadays there is a conflict between labor and capital to prevent the captains of industry from getting too large a share of the proceeds of the product of labor. China is nearer to this country to-day than was Boston to Alexandra in Washington's time. The products of machinery have brought this about, and all races and the ends of the earth have been made nearer there. The great fight between labor and capital for the adjustment of conditions the Negro is part and parcel. Those who are on the outside count for some thing You and I are fortunate in that attention is being focused upon us, and we can play a prominent part in the industrial and economic conflict "In 1700 only two or three per cent of the population of this country lived in cities. Now one-third of the people live in cities. The Negro has not lagged behind in this migration to the city. In Baltimore you represent the helpful, as well as distressing conditions of crowding to the cities. With the coming to the city has come the problem of health. Some statisticians say that the Negro in this country will be extinct in ten generations. Pneumonia, consumption, pulmonary weakness, and even the hookwork are responsible, they say. There is some excuse for this view, when we notice the indifferent, lazy and hesistant. We need strong men physically if we would be well, hopefully, the economic struggle with other races. It is of fundamental importance that we build on the physical side. Civilization imposes a heavy tax upon those who would go forward in open rivalry. To-day the young men and women of the race must be imbued with a proper sense of service if they would enter the larger area of usefulness." Prof. Miller concluded by urging the erection of a new building for the local Y. M. C. A., so that the physical, educational and moral interests of the youths of Baltimore may be looked after. The recent death of her father, Ann Jakes, with her husband, the husband, Henry Lakes, maryland's most famous caterer. Mr. Jakes was the man of the hour in the catering business in Baltimore in the years immediately preceding and follow- ing the civil war. In those days the special lions lived in very big houses and lots of entertaining, and Jakes was an invariably the man who fur- mished the repast. And to-day the most successful caterers here are colored Mrs. Jakes was ninety years of age. GREAT CANTATA IN NEW HAVEN. Notable Biblical Concert—Queen Esther Presented. Regular Correspondence of The An- kew Haven, Feb 7—The cantata of Queen Kether attracted a crowd to the Roy Auditorium last Wednesday evening such as has not seen here since Belteshazzar's Feast, which occurred about twenty-five years ago. All New Haven apparently appre- sented the biblical and historical program Long before the curtain went up the balcony was literally packed with people and the parquet and parquet circle were even filled. At 3:30 the curtain raised with a stirring chorus by the company. This was followed by the queen and king. Mrs. Eina Anderson-Fuller, impersonating Queen Esther, and William T Blount, King Ahasuerus. Mrs. Fuller possessed all the qualities befitting a queen, tall, symmetrical, with graceful movements, and when her magical voice rang out over the vast audience alternately with that of Mr. Blount, the house caught the inspiration and enthusiasm reigned Mr. Blunt in his sonorous bass was in fine voice, and critics say the rendition of the part he took was considered the greatest success on that occasion. Perhaps the most dramatic presentation was in act V at the banquet, where Esther entertained the king Haman, the king's counselor, was taken by Charles H. More, formerly of Williams and Walker's company, who showed a dramatic conception of the character and was rewarded by many rushes of applause. Noble Ross played the character of Mordecai, a Jew. This was finely executed Ralph H. Howard, leader of the orchestra, played a violin solo with excellent technique and expression. He recalled Miss Labelle Walton took the character of Mordecai's sister, and she made a hit with her beautiful voice and the sympathetic manner in which she sang Mrs Sybil Bosworth impersonated a median princess, when she distinguished herself as a fascinating, sweet singer. The drill movements of the boys and girls were executed with accuracy and military discipline and elicited the applause of the house. The costumes were brilliant, varied and presented a beautiful aspect. In each there had been no recent entertainment but where the elements of music and beauty were so beautifully blended. From the time the curtain went up until its final fall there was not a dull moment. Bertram Jomor was musical director, twirled the balloon to the charming strains of the plim City orchestra, which accompanied the performance. Miss C. Effort, pianist, was assisted by Miss M. Hope and Clarence Willmore. Theodore A. Thompson, stage manager, and Joseph H. Griffin was in charge of the ushers. The cantata is a great musical and artistic triumph—a triumph for the artists, fired by the enthusiastic applause of an immense audience. Others who took part were: Mrs. Bertha Black, Mrs. Edna Burton, Mrs. Walter Hatfield, Misses M. Cummings, M Hatter, M. Amos, F. Johnson, M. Dortche, S. Weeks, C. Adams, H. Adams, E. Jones, H. Weeks, R. Ward, M. London, F. Bland, E. Bland, M. Pugh, M. Buckley, V. Wesley, D. Moore, J. Williams, A. Fisher, Lucian Hoyt, Robert Treadwell, Theodore Thompson, Jr. W. R Brown, Leroy Pierce, Chas. Abbott, Clinton Nodester, E. Platee, Clinton Nodester, E. Platee, Eaton, M Dixon, E Parkus, F. Swan, Jr, William Griffin, King's Guards, E. Leatherberry, W. Pringleton, Miss E. Adams, and Mr. J. Saulsbury. There was a chorus of forty voices. There were one hundred persons who participated in the performance and there were about seven hundred people present. C Henry Barclay, general manager, and T Bertram Jones, musical director, are gratified beyond expression for the great success of the cantata. the orchestra is colored and comprised of twelve pieces. By request the cantata will be repeated in two weeks at the Church of the Messiah, white. Orange street.

Many out-of-town guests were present Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, Albany. Auburn and Norwich were represented. The exhibition drill by the famous drill corps of Central City Commandery, No. 16, K. T., of Utica, N. Y., attracted much attention by the smoothness with which it executed its work. Drill Master E. Sir Frederick S. Henry was highly complimented on the work of the crops. One of the most pleasant features of the evening was the presentation of a beautiful gold Masonic emblem to V E D G C. Sir Henry Spencer of Albany, Y., the member of Palestine Commandery, in recognition of his unselfless labor to advance the cause of Knight Templarism in central New York. Sir Henry Smith in a few well-chosen words made the presentation speech in behalf of the local commandery. V E D G C Sir Henry Spencer, in reply, gracefully acknowledged this expression of good will and esteem for him by Palestine Commandery, and praised the apprehance and growth of the commandery.

Prof Owens at Petersburg. Regular correspondence of THA Acc. Petersburg, Va., Feb. 1. The Agricultural Department of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute under the efficient management of Prof Geo W. Owens is making real progress toward popularizing agricultural education in Virginia. Every boy and girl in the institution (and there are over 500 enrolled), is given classroom instruction in some branch of agriculture, either in dwarfing, animal husbandry or general farming and every boy in the school has to take practical farming, including plowing, sowing and gathering crops, tending stock, and so on. For the year past the aggregate products of a farm of twenty acres amounted to $2,483, and because of the growing interest manifested by the boys and girls in the work the indications are that the production will be much greater for the coming year. Prof Owens is a graduate of the Kansas Agricultural and Mechanical College, taught animal husbandry for nine years at Tuskegee Institute, and therefore comes as a very valuable acquisition to Virginia's big State institution for the colored youth. Largely through his enthusiasm for the work 15 young boys have taken up the professional course in agriculture offered by the school, and are pursuing it with a view to becoming expert farmers. Prof Owens also travels over the State and lectures to thousands of our landowners on improved methods of farming. We regret to announce the death last Wednesday of Mrs Nelle Coleman, of Jefferson street. Our popular townsman, John Hunncutt, had the misfortune to have his leg and thigh badly sprained the other day while engaged at his regular work. Madames Margaret Hawks, Caroline Smith and Alice Mathews are on the sick list. Mrs. W Hardy Jones and Miss Lizie Evans were recently pleasant visitors of friends in Richmond.
