CELEBRATE IN SPRINGFIELD,ILL. 101st Anniversary of Abraham Lincoln Fittingly Observed WASHINGTON SPEAKS Noted Educator Principal Speaker of Occasion and Lauds Life of Great Emancipator GOVERNOR OF STATE PRESIDES Banquet Given by Lincoln Centennial Association at St. Nicholas Hotel—Prominent Illinoisans Present. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Springfield, Ill., Feb. 14—Dr Booker T Washington was principal speaker at the St. Nicholas Hotel in Springfield—home and burial place of Abraham Lincoln—last Saturday, on which occasion the 101st anniversary of the emancipator was celebrated under the auspices of the Lincoln Centennial Association. Among his hearers were Gov. Deneen, State officers and prominent citizens of Springfield. The main banquet hall of the St. Nicholas Hotel was artistically decorated with the stars and stripes, and the nine table were resplendent in the glow of many electric lights. Flowers were in evidence in prodigal profusion. Governor Deneen acted as trustmaster Dr Washington sat at the center of the head table with the governor at his right, while at his left sat his private secretary, Emmett J. Scott Others at the table were John W Bunn, Judge J. Otis Humphrey, State auditor of Public Accounts G S McCullogh, Major Bluford Wilson, Bishop Edward C Osborne, Dr William Jayne, former Gov Richard Yates, Secretary of State James A. Ross, United States District Attorney William A Northcott Hinton L. Conkling, Dr George Pasheld and Col James R Van Cleave Governor Introduces Educator. In introducing Dr Washington, Gov Deneen said, in part "The career of Lincoln furnishes one of the most valuable lessons to be found in American history and it would be well were such organizations formed in other States. It was especially fitting, however, that in this State and in this city the celebration of the Lincoln centennial should have led to the creation of a permanent Lincoln association "In this city Lincoln lived during the most important period of his early life. It was the period of preparation for the great events which were to follow, for it was while pursuing the practice of his profession as a lawyer in this city that he studied and mastered so thoroughly the history of his country and its institutions "It was in this city, too, that he formed friendships, personal, professional and political, which endured throughout all his subsequent career, and which gave to the people of this State and this city a more intimate knowledge and understanding of his unique personal qualities than was possessed in any other part of the country "It was from this place that Lincoln went to assume the heavy burdens and heavy responsibilities of the presidency in the dark days of 1861 and to this city his body was returned for interment after his death. The gentleman who will address us upon this occasion has witnessed within the city of his own life all the great changes which have marked our transition to the old to the new America. He has no middle witness of the transformation. He him and to others of his past life became manifest that the old confederation of political liberty had presented problems to his people which, only he solved by patient labor and study. It was his determination to attack these problems in the only manner which insured final success to be made his life work, the establishment of a community and management of the great institute at Tuskegee, which is doing such great and enduring work for the development of his race. He everywhere recognized as a leader among his people and as one of the formers of American citizens, and I take pleasure in introducing to you Dr. Barker I. Washington, who will now address you." Address of Dr. Washington. As Dr. Washington arose he was greeted with a great burst of applause, which continued for some time. During his address he said I stand upon sacred soil. The former home of Abraham Lincoln is not sacred soil and sacred atmosphere to the members of the Negro race, but every citizen throughout America. At the beginning of my remarks I will thank the members of your own tribe and your citizens for the im- vital role they present and to represent the degree the members of my race remain. I will Lincoln's preclamation was the Negro was worked. With freedom the Negro was have to work. From the first disaster Institute we have em- bark through our industrial depart duty of labor.

Special to THE NEW YORK AOK Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 13.—The stockholders of the People's Savings Bank and Trust Company, Nashville's Negro banking institution, recently held a meeting, elected officers and directors and heard highly encouraging reports by its officers. The reports of the president cashier and other officers showed that the institution had made a record in its short history of five months that the Negro citizens of Nashville as well as the race at large have cause to be proud of PETER H. Included in the report of Dr R L Bowl present of the bank were facts of allegations that indicated bright prospects for the future of the institution Dr Bowl delivered a short address to the directors at the close of the meeting in which he told the success he was meeting with the co-ops. The report of Cushier L G Ewing showed that $5,625.20 was deposited in the bank on the opening day, the doors only remaining open for deposits a few hours. Since that time the deposits had increased daily, the charge for the five months showing $173,625.85 and that the institution by its sole and sound business principles was strictly rising in the confidence of the general public. In the directorate tax charges took place W. W. Holgkins succeeded D. R Carney, who has remitted to New York and H. W. W. Washington was replaced by W.

I. Feb. 1. Morris Brown College is being the subject of a heated controversy involving Bishop C. S. Smith, of the A. M. L. Church, and E. W. Lee, president of the school, on one side and Bishops H. M. Turner and J. S. Lapper of the A. M. E. Church and Rev. R. D. Simson, an official agent of the institution on the other, from all indications the matter will be taken up and sitted at the conference of bishops now being held in Vickburg, Miss. There is a difference of opinion as to whether Morris Brown College needs financial aid thus the reason for the many statements charges and countercharges that have been made in the past to the propriety involved. Bishop Smith and Professor are accused of trying to prevent a meeting at Huntley House at a short time ago in the interest of Morris Brown College, at which Capt James W. English presided over the leading white officers at Athens were principal speakers. Bishop Smith's views to be chancellor of Morris Brown College says that the institution is an no need of help owing to the recent fire, as the loss sustained was covered by insurance. He also contends that Bishops Hlipper and Turner are unauthorised to make any requests for help. On the other hand Bishops Turner and Hlipper assert that they do not regard Bishop Smith's views. Bishop Hlipper suggesting that Bishops Smith wear a plaid on his back and have printed in large letters from the Bishop of the African Methodist Church in Georgia so that the people may read thereon and be enlightened as to who he is. Rev Stinson Attnkea Bishop Smith. Rev Stinson adds fuel to the blame by attacking Bishop Smith and charging that the bishop is an enemy to industrial education and has given out the following statement: It is a pity that Bishop Smith has set himself so much like flint against the industrial department and myself that he appears to be willing to destroy the whole plant and disrupt the good facility of the two races in this community. He has played the role of firebrand destructionist and hinderer in the communities where he has gone since being made a bishop. I wonder if he ever hopes to add darkness and good sense to the lightness and good acumen. I wonder if he has thought of how this malice of Negro nation has been brought to where it is and how many of the boat white and colored people have contributed to what he and President E. W. Lee seem to have entered a NEW YORK. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1910. YORK AGE.

The tree, chair and printing department, notwithstanding the $550 press bought of the Dodson Printing Company, are quite dead. The instructor in carpentry, bricklayers and Superintendent, is not to be seen or heard of about the grounds. Little talk of Sunday and domestic science is heard. Hitch Smith says the school does not need money. The A. M. E Church in Georgia is taxed $25,000 next October, more than has ever been put upon the people in the history of the church. This does not include other regular assessments for Morris Brown. Hitch Smith took the pulpit of Bethel Church, last Sunday to speak in opposition to the meeting to ridule men as wanting to run schools for Negroes to learn to hoe and plough, and said that he knew about "white folks" niggers," that they were dangerous in slavery time and faunthed the rag of race hatred and tried to impress the audience that had entered into a compact with real estate men and white men, and said that he would send the Negroes to the woods to farm. This of a holy man in the church or God seeking to blacken with false statements the character of one of his ministers whom he knew was not present. Ben Butler was never more determined to the certain things in other days that Bishop Smith, the theorist, is to give industrial education the black eye, and to do it I must be destroyed. His ideas of things is shaped after those north of the Ohio River. What college and Bishop Smith built up the special fitness has he or Lee to sympathize and uplift the masses and to encourage friendly relations between the rules? Bishop Smith and President Lee would have the public believe that I planned the meeting a few Sundays ago to catch the sympathy of the public in connection with the fire. The date of the meeting was fixed December 28. Bishop Smith was written to at Detroit, Monday the 10th, the day before the fire, asking him to take part the three on for four days later; I called to see him; he said he would not be in the city on that date and therefore would not take a part. He chatted freely, not entering the slightest protest. Bishop Smith's Version of Contrevenay. In making known his side of the case Bishop Smith has given out the following: The recent agitation in the newspapers of this city relative to the affairs of Martin Brown College was primarily instigated by the desire on the part of the authorities of that institution to protect the public against imposition, and the issuance of this card is for the same specific purpose. The authorities of the college would regard themselves as being untrue to the people were they to take advantage of the recent fire and make a general appeal to the public for financial assistance when such is not needed. The insurance has been adjusted, and we have been awarded a reasonable sum for such portions of the buildings as we destroys or are burned by water. This is also true of the furniture and fixtures. The damage to the building was relatively light considering its size. I make no attempt to conceal my chargin at the appearance of two letters in last Saturday's Constitution-sone from Bishop H M. Turner and the other from Bishop J S Flipper. As to the former, it suffices to say that Bishop H M Turner was the bishop of the A M W Church of Georgia from May, 1896 to May, 1908, at which time he was relieved of further episcopal service by the general conference and elected to the position of historiographer of the church, has therefore been the bishop of M E Church of Georgia since May, 1908, and no longer manages or directs the affairs of Morris Brown College, except as he may choose to exercise his preteritus as a member of the trustee board when that body is convened. Bishop J S Ellipson makes the statement that Dr R D Stinson is not responsible to the bishop of the district, a statement that he doubtless would not have made but for a lack of knowledge of certain facts. The trustee board of Morris Brown College at its annual meeting last June refused to reelect Dr Stinson, either as vice-president or financial agent, thanking him in advance on me to provide him with employment. There being no pastoral vacancy at that time, such as I would be disposed to tender Dr Stinson, I gave him a certificate continuing him as the financial agent of the college until November 4. 1909. This certificate he graciously accepted. Therefore, instead of Dr Stinson not being amenable even [Continued on page 8]. HONOR LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS Birthday Celebration Held in Baltimore Monday Evening PROGRESS OF NEGRO RACE Rev. C. S. Morris, in Address, Tells of Boyhood Struggles of Lincoln and Douglass. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Baltimore, Md., Feb. 16.—That a great day is to dawn for the Negro in this country, and that there is hardly no situation in which he may be placed that some good cannot be derived, was the assertion made by Rev. Dr. C. S. Morris of New York City in an address at a Lincoln-Douglass birthday celebration at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church Monday night. After picturing the boyhood struggles of Lincoln and Douglass and their abhorrence to human slavery, Dr. Morris said: "The Dutch slave ship that landed at Jamestown with twenty slaves in 1619 brought over the Negro problem. It brought over a crown for Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and such champions for the race as Lovejoy, Garrison, Phillips and Sumner, as well as such institutions as Tuskegee. "Slavery has been the means of the making of every great race. God's chosen people were in bondage for 430 years, and God told Abraham that 'I will make you a blessing unto all the earth'." "The proud Anglo-Saxon was bettered, too, and to-day he struts as the lordly Anglo-Saxon. They once wore the Norman collar, and Cicero said, 'I hope you will not bring any of those stupid Britons to Rome.' " "Henry Clay once said that 250 years of bondage for the Negro had sanctioned and sanctified the right of slavery. But God raised for us such friends as Garrison, who declared that he would not equivocate, and that he would be heard, and such singers as Bryant, Longfellow and Harriet Beccher Stowe, and to day we can truly declare 'What hath God wrought!' "One Negro Bishop says that the Negro must remain a 'hewer of wood and drawer of water' if he remains in this country, and he is the modern Moses to lead them out. If he will go to Baltimore, Charleston or any other port and with rod in hand, as did Moses of old, but the waters to part, and the driv land to come forth, then I am willing to follow him to Africa. "We came here over 300 years ago without solicitation on our part, and got in on the ground floor, and if the various white races go back to their European homes I am for staying here at least six months thereafter. Then probably we may take charge of things." EVERCISES IN BOSTON. Abrham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass Birthdays Fittingly Observed. Special to The New York Age. Boston, Mass., Feb. 16 — The celebration of the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass were held in nearly every church and hall in the city Sunday and Monday. Lincoln Day exercises at the Columbus Avenue A M E Zion Church were held under the auspices of the Young Men's Bible Class of the A M E Zion Sunday School Monday evening. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev I W Henderson "America" was sung by the Young Men's Bible Class Mrs Hezekiah Henderson rendered a violin solo, and Miss Ithel Benbury resisted. A selection was given by the Young Ladies' Quartet and a corner solo was rendered by Dr W O Layler. Addresses were delivered by Rev G W Johnson, pastor of the church, and Attorney Butler R. Wilson. A silver offering for the benefit of St Monica's Home was taken at the door. Lincoln and Douglass exercises were also held Sunday afternoon at the Cambridge Men's Lounge in the St Stephen Baptist Church. The address was delivered by Rev T W Henderson. A vocal solo was sung by Mrs. Alexander Easley, assisted by Miss Florence Heggue. Mrs. Hamilton of the Union Baptist Church rendered a piano solo. Instrumental music was furnished by Rev 1 William Watkins Hill of the Morning Star Baptist Church. The money raised will be given to the Fred Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, to be used in paying off the mortgage on the home of Douglass at Anacosta, D.C. LEADS HIGH SCHOOL CLASS Thomas Johnson Takes First Honors at Jersey City High School—General Average 93.64. Another Negro pupil of the New Jersey schools has made an enviable record for intelligence Following in the footsteps of 14-year-old Estelle Gibbs, of Hoboken, N J, who made the highest mark among the grammar school graduates, Thomas Johnson, 16 years old, residing at 62 Newark avenue, Jersey City, has the credit of taking first honors in the Jersey City high school. Young Johnson leads the January graduating class of the Jersey City high school with a general average of 93.64 per cent. for four years. It is the first time a Negro has won such distinction in Jersey City. The commencement exercises of the January class of 1910 will be held jointly with the June class shortly before the summer vacation. It is predicted by the school officials that Johnson will deliver the valedictory. Johnson is very modest about his record, and says he had to study very hard to get first place. He will study law. Another colored youth, James Wilson, won second honors, and Oscar Byron, white, made the third highest mark of the class. "KEEP RACES APART." Bishop Lampton Says Future of the Race Must Be Through Separation Along Social Lines. Special to The New York Ack. New Orleans, La. Feb 15—During the recent session of the Louisiana A M E Conference, held in this city, Bishop Lampton advised the two races to keep separate, stating in part I appeal to every Negro in the land, led on by your ministers of the gospel, to so stand in the fulfillment of his obligation. In the keeping of the letter, and the spirit of the law, of both God and man, that the mob shall have no excuse to wreak its vengeance upon my people. I appeal to every Negro in the land to keep inviolate those lines of separation between the races, in public and in private, so that the mob will have no excuse to wreak its vengeance upon my race. I appeal to every Negro in the land, North, South, East and West, to turn his face from seeking any kind of commerce by law or by force with the females of the other race, so that the mob shall have no excuse to wreak vengeance upon my race. I believe that there is a future for my people, but it must be through separation along social lines. I do not seek admission into the parlor of any white man, nor do I invite him into my parlor in a social way. I want only for my people protection under the law, and we will make our own social circles, will entertain our own men and women and will build up our race.

TELLS ABOUT SYNDICATE Responsible for Downfall and Death of Hundreds of Girls of Good Family—Cadet System Explained. During the present expose and investigation of the white slave traffic very little, if anything, is being said of Mrs. Hattie Ross, who has played an important part in furnishing evidence which has materially aided the authorities in getting an insight on how syndicates of vice have thrived in New York City for years. In the columns of the daily press information is given as to startling discoveries made by this or that official, but it is rarely made known who has furmished the information Mrs. Ross has been invaluable to the grand jury and the district attorney in throwing light on the methods employed by those who have grown rich by luring innocent young girls to dens of vice where they are held prisoners and their lives blighted. Mrs. Ross, who resides at 492 Seventh avenue, is a prison missionary in New York City, and for thirteen years has been a familar figure at the Tombs, Blackwells Island and many of the police stations. Before taking up prison work she was a habitue of the "half world," but joined -the church and decided to devote her life to saving innocent girls from ruin. Some years ago in the Spring of Mrs. Ross first came to public print in investigations by the New York City officials which led to the arrest and conviction of Robert Spriggs. While walking on Twenty-sixth street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, Mrs. Ross came across a young white girl in a dazed condition. The miss was taken to the Jerry McCauley Mission, where the story of the inhumane treatment she received in a house of ill fame was related. The attention of the district attorney was called to the case by Mrs. Ross, which resulted in the sentencing to jail of Spriggs for a long term of years. Gives information to Grand Jurys. Owing to Mrs. Ross' lengthy experience as a prison missionary she is well acquainted with the white slave traffic situation, and has given to the grand jr. of which John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is foreman, the addresses of hundreds of dice in New York City, Long Island, Coney Island, Richmond, Jersey City, N. J., Newark, N. J., Philadelphia, Middletown, Norwich, Johnstown and other towns in New York State. The charge is made by Mrs. Ross that prior to the white slave investigation the vice syndicate conducted houses of all repute in over two hundred flats throughout New York City, some of them being located in highly respectable neighbourhoods. At least 1,500 of these dents were controlled by the syndicate in New York City and neighbouring towns. One of the valest means to seduce girls from their homes to disreputable resorts, according to Mrs Ross, is the cadet system. Young men of good appearance called cadets, are employed by the syndicate to go to country dances and make love to the innocent maidens. When a girl has become infatuated with a cadet he induces her to elope with him. Then he brings her to the city, sometimes going through a mock marriage. The unsophisticated creature is taken to a house of all fame where she is virtually held a prisoner Hundreds of Girls Lured from Russia The syndicate has operated heavily in Russia, and it is charged that over four hundred girls have been brought over from that country in recent years, all of whom came to America with a view of getting good positions. In many foreign cities the syndicate has agents who conduct what they call intelligence offices, offering excellent positions to girls in the United States. However, upon teaching this country the girls find that they have been hired thousands of miles away from home under false pretenses. It is not long before they are in the employ of the syndicate. Then, again, some of the girls who have become resigned to their fate are sent back home dressed in the latest gowns and wearing jewelry, and cause others to come to America by flattering accounts of the great possibilities of earning a livelihood on this side. In speaking of the calamitous fate met by the victims of the white slave syndicate Mrs. Ross recently made the following statement to a representative of The Age. Few realize how many homes are wrecked and how many mothers and fathers become heartbroken over the shameful careers led by their daughters.

TERNON NEW YORK FAVORS CENTENNIAL At Eloquent Vernon Lincoln-Douglass Address Audience Endorses Freedom Celebration. At the large and splendid Lincoln-Douglass Day meeting held Tuesday evening at Mt Olivet Baptist Church, at which Register of the U.S. Treasury Vernon made a most eloquent address on Abraham Lincoln, New York for the first time went on record in favor of the National Negro Some Centennial celebration in 1913. The motion was made by Register Vernon and carried unanimously and amid enthusiastic applause Register Vernon said in part. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation means little to us unless we are embracing every opportunity for development and progress. In proportion to we shall educate the youth of the race, accumulate realy holdings, make ourselves worthy and indispensable elements in the body politic, will we prove that Lincoln's emancipation was not in vain, and give heart and cheer to the friends of another generation rapidly passing, and to those who will be raised up in the days that are to come. With each man doing his duty as best he can, the work of Lincoln will not die. The influence of Lincoln's work is felt in the great movement for governmental reform and human uphill, not alone in this country, but throughout the civilized world. Freedom for all was the salvation of this country, and although a new pronouncement in the history of the world, it stood the test successfully, and human rights are more sacred and will so remain throughout all time. Liberty, fraternity, equality and law, the four pillars of the temple, were rocking. It remained for Lincoln to put his hand to the temple and steady it, or rather as the ship of state rode the hoisterous waves that threatened destruction, this great man, like some mighty mariner, stood on the bridge and steering past breakers as the world cried out to know the fate of its fondest hope—free government—he answered "All is well." Throughout his life he exhibited the spirit of the divine Christ rather than that of the "eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." This day and until remote time men will forever land and undertake to explain whence came the marvelous words of Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Who can but read it and not feel that he should have a deeper reverence for the heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion and does not delicately anew his life to the task of making greater our common country. This can only be done by imbuiting into the warp and wool of humanity the noble aspirations and safety sentiments set forth in his great life. Our duty toward fellow man and all humanity in our best exhibited by having all those lives of honor and sincere mindfulness lives of service the benefit influence of which shall bear the way. The imprisonment was a command in substance to the effect that those who held the slave in living death should house him and let them go. At Lincoln's call a militiamen came forth to assist a nation. Many of them shop in unknown graves and we the heirs of the slave may prove it that they have been in vain. The four stallion free horses are to be sent to the north of New York to teach men with their own schools men engaged in many prosecutions in the cities and trade towns. Some of property honored and spurred forward to greater things. In nearly three hundred years we have sung the sorrow songs. We shall sing the songs of rejoignings and mourn. There is a constant instance that can forever retard that one who desires to succeed. All we ask and desire is that no opportunity to rise shall be denied us and that merit and worth alone shall tell As the years shall pass the memory of Lincoln will grow brighter, and the influence of his work be more unifying throughout the earth. We do well when we do our best for thus we prove our gratitude to him and to those who under his leadership, by their sacrifices, made this day possible.

BIG BLACK BURLY BRUTE Four white men not many weeks ago were confined at one time in the jails of Georgia for assaults upon white women. In each case the white man attempted the unmentionable crime while blacked up as a Negro. In each community a mob of infuriated proud caucasians quickly gathered at the behest of the flaming headlines of the local press to hunt down the "Big Black Burly Brute" and to avenge the womanhood of their race. But the thin veneer of burnt cork was his only claim to membership in the persecuted race. This was discovered in time. The necks of the culprits were saved. The "fair name" of the commonwealth was not disgraced by the outburst of popular passion. A few days later Savannah was the scene of one of the foulest crimes that ever darkened the annals of the State of kuklux rapine, plunder and persecution. Three white women, one over seventy years of age, had their heads crushed by an axe and almost severed from their bodies by a sharp knife. The usual "big, black, burly brute" had been seen to enter the house shortly before the crime and leave soon after. Savannah en masse ran wild on a riotous rampage of Negro persecution. Hundreds of Negroes were maltreated and lodged in jail. Hundreds of others fled for their lives. The mob continued its mad career in its search for the guilty offender and to satiate its thirst for black blood. But one of the victims providentially regained consciousness. She named her divorced husband as the doer of the dastardly deed. Savannah gradually and reluctantly subsided. Her husband was not lynched but lodged in jail and his guilt was confirmed by conclusive evidence. Today, three whites are in jail in Alabama for assaulting white girls Two brothers at Decatur, one the sweetheart of a sixteen-year-old girl, invigored her into some lonely woods, outraged her and she wandered back home nearly dead from brutal treatment Another white man is resting in Jefferson County jail, charged with outraging a little four-year-old girl Alabama is running Georgia a close race in the number of her white degenerates. Since but eighteen of the Negroes lynched last year were charged with the "unmentionable crime," the whites of the South seemingly have about the same number of rapists as the blacks. How many of the eighteen "big black, burly brutes" lynched last year were lynched for the crimes of vicious white men? The white press is as silent as the tombs on the wave of white degeneracy coming to light throughout the Southland. Murder will out. Crimes like chickens come home to roost. A generation of white vipers is now infesting the Southland. What will the white race do about her degraded degenerate "burly brutes"? This country cannot fool itself much longer about Southern conditions A MANUFACTURED KICK A few weeks ago when it was an announced that Lillie R. Smith, a worthy Negro athlete and college graduate of Cheyenne, Wyoming, had been nominated as an alternate for West Point by United States Senator Clark, army officers were quoted as being hostile to the appointment. They were made to prophesy all sorts of dire results if the Negro ever got into the army training school. They were made to recount the unhappy experience of Leutenant Flipper, who was brutally maltreated by students. It was made to appear as the consensus of army opinion that no Negro should be trained at West Point and that if any Negro earned his appointment to the Government school that life would there be made intolerable for him At that time we said that the morale and discipline at West Point surely could not be so far below the standard of the great educational institutions where Negroes attend with comfort to themselves and profit both to themselves and their white fellow-students. Furthermore we said that the objectors were paying too high a compliment to the ability of the future black leaders of the black regiments in the regular army. The Negro soldier's training at West Point would not be a total waste of time. If so then we pitted West Point. Finally we branded the story purporting to be the consensus of army opinion as a preposterous malicious invention. "I do not believe that any of the old officers said anything of the kind," said a Fort Snelling officer yesterday. "We are law-abiding citizens, and while, of course, we do not like to associate with colored people, we have to abide by white laws." I think that this Negro will be given fair play if he goes to West Point. "There have been half a dozen Nrogroes graduated from West Point," he continued. "They have behaved properly and received their training and are ready to business. There is Major Alexander of the cavalry, who is now consul in Hawaii, West Indies. There is another who is paymaster at San Francisco, and one a lieutenant all of them are giving him authority over army." In the days to come the Negro will again be called upon to fill the breach as he has done in every war since Bunker Hill and Brandywine. It will not be a question of white or black, or hazing or tin soldier society at that time. It should not and must not be now. Those who take a long look into the future verily prize the value of the black soldier Uncle Sam is not only just but wise A PURE "PIPE-" One of the purest "pipe" stories that the metropolitan press has recently published to the detriment of the Negro was that of a few days ago to the effect that some white people in Brooklyn were making strenuous objections to their new Negro neighbors. On investigation the disquieting report proves to be a press canard pure and simple. Whether it proceeded from the malice of some nearby Negro phobst or whether it was the ingenious device of a reporter to secure a "thriller" is not disclosed. A mixture of both probably accounts for it We trust that no one will thereby be misled or deterred. We have watched for some time with admiring interest and surprise the movement of Negro home buying in the suburbs. We have been surprised not only at the number of these purchases but at their quality as well. One of the happiest signs of the Negros future in this community is this very same effort. The daily press would be doing a far greater public service in commending rather than in condemning it by imbuendo. The cry constantly goes up concerning the "menace of the Negro communities" "The congested and germ ridden Negro districts" as a stock phrase among charity workers. "In the interest of the public health and their own uplift," not only charity workers but the press have urged the "dispersal of the Negroes among the general population." But the minute a Negro goes into the healthier suburb and buys a home the press manufactures "The Neighbors' Wail." The city of the future and the Negroes of today as well as of the future would be vastly benefited if a considerable per cent. of the Negroes now in Manhattan would move to suburbs and nearby convenient communities. With all the emphasis we can command, we urge the Negroes of this city for the sake of their families and their moral and economic welfare to buy suburban homes Homes can be bought with a small amount of cash down and the balance may be paid like rent. The black man who is wise and will take a thought of the future both for himself and children will not long delay We are heartily proud of the Negroes now buying desirable property in desirable neighborhoods in Brooklyn and elsewhere. Let the good work go on. It reveals a healthy thrift and ambition. It indicates a wholesome moral and social tone. It augurs a healthier, happier and wealthier New York Negro THE ROAD TO RECOGNITION. Richard Brown, a merchant at Institute near Charleston, West Virginia, was in Baltimore last week the guest of the Oriole City's great business firm the Baltimore Bargain House. He had come with the other merchants of West Virginia on the merchants special coach provided every year by the firm to its West Virginia retail patrons. He spent a week in Baltimore and Washington as the personal guest of the firm and his entire expense including a return ticket to Charleston was borne by the firm. This little example of Mr Brown's recognition speaks volumes for Mr Brown's business ability and standing. But it speaks most eloquently the influence of business in this country, North and South as well. Even in Baltimore no questions were asked as to Mr Brown's race when the firm came to the recognition of its valued patrons. Mr Brown was neither snubbed by the railroad nor discriminated against by his fellow business passengers. His mission and their missions and the firm's mission was business. The Negro was recognized as an equal. The wherefore is the lesson to his race. It has been rather ineglectantly said that the white man's nerve can be reached only through his pocket. The dollar is indeed the road to Rome in America upon which any traveller with the dollar mark has the countersign. Business is the key to success which the Negro must find. It will unlock the door to an equal recognition in the future. THE OTHER SIDE. Two Negroes have died during the current month whose deaths attest the peculiar affection existing between the best Southern whites and their old Negro employees. When a few days ago Dr. Washington said that the whites and blacks of the South are nearer together than the whites and blacks of the North there were distinct murmurs of disapproval in many unmurmured Negro quarters. Unworthy motives were there ascribed as the reason for the statement. In other quarters the attitude has been generally That is remarkable if true. That this statement could be true seems incredible to Northern ears eternally filled with lynching horrors and race outbreaks. The following tender tributes from influential Southern white dailies to two old Negro characters who have passed away testify most eloquently as to the truth of the assertion. Under the caption, "Uncle Ed. Is Dead," the Birmingham Age Herald, of February 11, says Just before day on Thursday morning Ed. Stevens, the oldest man in the newspaper business in Alabama, died a victim of the ravages of old age. He had been a servant of the Montgomery Journal since its inception, and had watched Montgomery grow woodland city. He came here from the Carolinas when a slave and no one knows his age, though it must have gone by eighty. He had worked for Horace Hood, editor of the Journal, since he began a newspaper, and there is not a man about the office who is not a man about the office who is not an old man has gone. Loyal, truthful and faithful, there were few like him. The black went only to the surface of his skin. He was an old time Negro who loved the truth and told it, who recognized obligations and kept them, who was loyal because he knew it to be honest and sincere desire to do well his part in the world. Uncle Ed is gone, but he left an influence. Negro though he was, that will make those who knew him glance higher than they might when looking on the duties of life. The Augusta (1924) Chronicle on February reprints from the Midgley News the account of the death and funeral of Army Latimer and comments Rev Rules, a white preacher of Birmingham, from the platform of Carnegie Hall at the great Luskeegie meeting, said that the better class of whites who were displaced and disheartened by the civil war are again coming into power in every Southern State. They know the Negro, he continued, and they love him. Concluding one of the strongest speeches in behalf of justice to the Negro recently made by a black man or white man in the North, he said that not only the South but the entire Nation is eternally indebted to the Negro. We might multiply these significant evidences to prove that there is not only a black side but a white side to the Southern situation The man who does not recognize the other side is either blind to the facts or untrue to himself and all concerned. It is a condition as we have repeatedly said and not a theory in Dixie. From such facts multiplying on every hand, not only the Negro but all his friends may take fresh hope and courage. These are the escape valves from a situation intensely wrought with injustice and proscription and misery, and that other wise would be intolerable to a strugging and sensitive race. ```markdown ``` LEADING THEIR CLASS We felt last week the common thrill of the Negro everywhere in Estelle Gibbs of Hoboken, N. J., who in her examination for admission to the high school made a phenomenal record and demonstrated her superior scholarship over the ten thousand pupils in the public schools of her home town. With equal pleasure we feel called upon this week to recount the splendid work of the two Negro boys in the Jersey City high school who finished at the head of their class. For the first time in the history of Jersey City colored lads, Thomas O Johnson and James Wilson, have won the distinction, and their respective averages of 93.04 and 93.84 testify most eloquently as to the excellence of their scholarship. We predict a bright future for these boys of such persistence and modesty. Especially noteworthy for a boy was the words of young Mr. Johnson, who when asked as to how he felt on being awarded such high and unusual honors, replied: "I had to study mighty hard to get first place. Perhaps if some of the others had studied as hard as I did they might have been just as successful." We hope that Estelle Gibbs, Thomas O. Johnson and James Wilson will complete their education. We congratulate all three. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS Hudson, Ohio, despite its wet name, voted "dry" for fifty years in order to obtain a water works and other improvements. In fifty years Hudson ought to be dried up, all right President Taft and Governor Hughes both advocated the lifting of the lid on the New York Legislature bribe scandal at Albany. On another famous occasion the President sat on the lid, but the time and the place were different --- Estelle Gibbs led the ten thousand children of Hoboken, and now in Jersey City two Negro boys lead their class in the high school with remarkably high averages. Those New Jersey students just won't behave --- Dr Washington has recently been declaring that the Southern whites and blacks are nearer together than the whites and blacks in any other one section of the world. There is no disagreement on that score, for every Fourth of July Negro orator always tell the Southern whites to "let my people go". Thirty out of sixty white persons in Montgomery examined by the Southern Health Association which was organized as the result of $1,000,000 donated by Rockefeller, are said to prove that the philanthropist was indulging in no idle dream. But we have sort of feared that the complete regeneration of the poor Southern whites was a hopeless speculation --- President Taft's plea before New Yorkers on Lincoln Day that the tariff was revised downward, although it was not promised, fell flat. Under the present pinch of high prices for food there are nearly eighty million of people in America who feel a little different, and even three hundred pounds of Presidential energy can't make that go down --- "Uncle Ed," the oldest newspaper man in Alabama, employed by the Montgomery Journal for over forty years, according to the Birmingham Age, recognized his every obligation and kept it. The Birmingham Age-Herald is an authority beyond question on any statement in behalf of a Negro that it may make. --- The Kentucky Legislature, following its statute forbidding Berea to educate Negroes and whites together, now will attempt to prevent Lincoln Institute, the Negro branch, from being located at its chosen site in Shelby County. Why doesn't the Kentucky Legislature make a clean breast it and go on record as opposed to Negro education? APPROVES PLANTATION MELODIES. Plainfield Man Says Enlightenment Should Not Make Negro Eggs To the Editor of The New York Agent Concerning the recent issue as to the students of Howard University objecting to the singing of Jubilee songs would say that enlightenment and pride should never elevate us above those things which alone with prayer gave happiness to our parents who when everything seemed dark and dreary in the days of slavery, that one sweetly solemn thought" hovered within their weary souls that some day that sweet charlie would come to take their home, and that some morning before the break of day when their task master having looked around finally that one had stolen away to Jesse, low that the good charlie had swung low and that tired soul having finished his salar of boiling the corn and drawing the water, had calmly "stolen away to Jesse" leaving his or her old companion to this sad world as it seemed to them to chant such original song as I wonder "How long Am I to Stray Here." It would be a good thing to wait for us as the winner members of the race to glory in those things that gave them so much pleasure when nothing else could Every nation has its inclusives, and as ragtime is international, but has been attributed to us by some writers, originating from the banjo and the clapping of the hands we can consider it ours. Let every nation assemble in one world a conservatory and the world's orchestra strike a tune to the same. Nothing would be for us if it were not for those sweet harmonious songs once sung by our dead parents. It is indeed a joyful song. We can sing jubilant songs better than any other people, and sing the songs of others and receive the same amount of applause as they themselves. O H P Q G A N A W A Y, 130 Liberty street, Plainfield N J February 6 --- Approxes History Editorial To the Editor of The New York Age I think your idea of teaching Negro history in Negro schools is simply fine. The Negro is taught State history and city history, and when he reaches the graduating school in high schools, boarding schools and colleges he has class history. Why not add Negro history to the curriculum? Great progress the Negro has made since the Civil War for a history. I hope the leading Negro educators will not let this idea be weighted in the balance, but put it upon a firm basis. I. E. KING. Newark. N. J.

Nor ever tasted rest WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY The more we visit over Ohio the more we are convinced that Dayton needs the help of The Dayton Citizen or some other force to impress the political leaders with the fact that Dayton is the largest city in the State of Ohio and that we can as is our city. We are going to manfully but conservatively contend for our share of the spoils of office from now on. And we want every voter of the race to stand with us in our contention. There are some things that right now we are, and we can get them if we go at the matter right — The Dayton Citizen The Negroes of the country and Chicago in particular have made much ado over the birthday celebrations of many white men in the last few weeks. It is up to them now to put in evidence some of that race pride of which some of the leaders are so willing to confess their own race, one of our own race, whose name is Frederick Douglas and who did as much for the deliverance of his race and was as great a factor in its final consummation as any man who lived in his day and time. Remember that he also has a birthday and it is near to 10. I set our appreciation for our own show itself — The Illinois Chronicle --- Revolts against the customs laws, fashions and such have sprung at all sorts of times and places, but never before has there been such a unique event in history against eating meat. In all parts of the country the movement is taking root and is growing with alarming rapidity (to those who have meat to sell) Labor unions women clubs, social and civic organizations all over the land and among the working class. The meat until prices are reduced Pledges are being signed, buttons are worn, all to the same effect. Just how far the crusade will go and what will be its effect is hard to say. but it opens up in the custodial field of speculation. The Black The white citizens of Shelbyville, Ky. have taken their fight to prevent the establishment of the Lincoln Institute for colored youth to the State Legislature. Mr. Holland, State representative from that section introduced a bill to the Legislature last fall. The whites of Shelby county made a foreclosure several months ago against locating the school in that section. It was thought they had reconciled themselves to the inevitable, but it seems now that they are determined to fight it out in higher court. Mr. Holland says the whites do not want the school be established and that they are determined to prevent its establishment at that place. The (Louisville) Columbian As a result of the Republican victory last fall a number of colored men were installed in office last week. The city of Cleveland has set a hot pace for those all over the country whose habit of winning the battle after winning the battle declare that the time is not ripe for Negroes to have high grade offices. Thomas W. Fleming was elected councilman-at-large by an immense vote, showing that the race for the land are not wandering into the camp of Democracy. A number of colored men were made clerks, storekeepers, meter and street inspectors, sanitary policemen timekeepers janitors messengers etc. Such recognition of merit has a largely increased Republican vote at the next election. Cincinnati Union And so, the lavender goes on. No eating of meat to check the gouge of the Trusts. Less meat eating is, per-adventure, a reformation of a salutary meat diet. Less meat meat at all. Still if the prepricipial given the meat combine acts effectually, then it will be in order to begin a course of treatment on the high prices of other necessaries of life. All the meat is not being prepriced low wageable. The many are getting too little while the few are getting too much of the essentials of life. Yet without meat is meat and if you wish to enjoy its eating pay the price or join the lavender if you can eat food. The Seattle Redaktion. Lars respects the Negro throughout the country regrets to hear of the unfortunate predicament in which Jack Johnson the great Negro pugilist has gotten himself if he hasn't sense ought to tell him that now that he holds the championship of the world and has signed up to fight the only white man who has any reasonable chance to take it from him he may be assured that all manner of snarling white people who love that sport have set their hearts on seeing the championship taken from the black race and while there may be many who would not countenance any unfair methods to get the championship back to the white race still there are many to render Mr Johnson unfit to defend his title. The Newport News Star Already a few Japanese are filling these places, and we are told that they are giving entire satisfaction and are competent and punctual and are not always wanting to quit work and take in every occasion. He is ever study-ing well as to use his time in accumulating wealth.

"Let Well Enough Alone," says Mrs. Murray Terrell Terrell on Proposed Change. To the Editor of The New York Age: For MERCY sake don't change the name of your paper to the New York Negro Age! For years I believed in the word Negro and used it with a truth that made me laugh. I wrote the word, but when I spoke it as well. But I have reached the conclusion that in this country filled with people who inherit a painfully long memory and a diabolical prejudice which they cultivate on their own account, it will take cons on top of coins to purge "Negro" of the scorn and compete with the wickedness in the hearts and minds of the majority of the dominant race, and to remove from it the odium attaching to it now. I must confess that I was converted to this disuse of the word Negro by a man—a mere man. Humiliating as this admission is in this day, when woman is rapidly coming into the world, I am arguing the matter with me, this man said. It is distressing that you should be so stupid as to insist upon using the word that your enemy wants you to use. Have you never observed," said he, "that white people who really like us and are our friends rarely refer to us as Negroes. After cudgeling in brain training for miniatures, I had to acknowledge that what this man said was true. But, Mr. Editor of The New York Age, there is another reason why I object seriously to having your valuable paper set its seal of approval upon the word Negro by incorporating it into the word Negro. A man cannot be a Negro, if a woman is not a Negress I loathe the word Negress for it is a term of reproach in this country I have been called a Negress so many times by the press of this country I am not a Negress I might not be violently hostile, so irrevocably opposed to Negro, if by any process of raciation a woman of the race could escape being a Negress Even after the millennium, if there is any body left in this land who is not a Negress who skims rages more violently that it does anywhere else on earth, 'Negress' will still have an evil, ugly sound and will still be a term of reproach. If your etheral spirit is hovering around this mundane sphere, Mr. Editor, you will see the fulfillment of these prophetic orders. Then, last but not least, your excellent paper has achieved its brilliant success under the caption of The New York Age, and there is no reason to suppose that it will give you the word Negro is added thereunto. I agree heartily with the lofty sentiment expressed in a rare little rhyme on Change which it is my good fortune to be able to quote "Change—just for the sake of Change—is like those bad hotels. Which are always made plates, but these queens on smells." Finally, Mr. Editor, allow me to state that the burden of proof is on you. It is your bounden, Christian duty to give your readers good and sufficient reasons why the name of the paper they have in your present caption should be changed. I for one, a subscriber through Robert Herberton Terrell for years do strongly protest against having the name of The New York Age which I have read and enjoyed for so many years changed. In my case rose to another name and not smell so sweet. Yours for letting well enough alone. MARY CHURCH TERRELL. Washington D. C. Feb. 5, 1910 Tacoma Lawyer Pleads "Don't" To the Editor of The New York Age Please don't change your name. I used to sell The New York Age when a boy on the streets of New Bern, Bernie, was in the schoolhouse, to suggest an change. Papers may go and papers may come, but the New York Age goes on forever. Don't Some of your readers object to the word "Negro" because they see in it naught but contempt and degradation, some think that it should be used in the classroom, the paper and all are entitled to their opinion. The word "Negro" should be made honor- able by deeds of Negroes. It cannot be made so simply by its prominent display or the insistence of the use of the capital. As the word "Methodist" is being used in the paper and the word "Christian" became great, so may the name "Negro" become highly honorable by DEEDS of NEGROES and not by its use in print or spoken words. Thanks for your space. GUSTAVE R. ALDRICH Tacoma Wash. Jan 20, 1910 Editor Croshy on Buffalo Times says "Don't" To the Editor of The New York Age, Pardon this intrusion but being interested in your continued progress as an influential factor for good in the scientifically and faithfully serve I cannot refrain from joining with those who are sounding a note of warning at this time. In other words I want to give my most emphatic endorsement to Dr Tunnell's objections to changing the name of The New York Age. I know something of the history of papers devoted to the interests of the American people, and firmly believe that any change such as I infer is contemplated would weaken your power, and circumcribe your influence in a manner that would cause its publishers and editors early and sincere regret. As Dr Tunnell says "The Age will be just as readable, stimulating and illuminating under the present denomination in the future as I intend." Assuring you that only my interest in your continued success has called forth this "But In" permit me to again say with Dr Tunnell DON'T EDWARD W CROSBY Buffalo, N. Y. Feb. 10, 1810. DAVID TIPTON William Allen White Pays Tender Tribute to Leader of House Mover. "There was buried to-day in Maplewood one of the best citizens of this town—David Tipton by name. He was not a white man; they say he had Indian blood in his veins, and though he was of African extraction, he was born a free man, of free parents, and all his life he looked every man squarely in the face without blinking. He was a handsome man, was Dave Tipton—tall, angular, broad-shouldered, strong as an oak, clean-limbed, keen-eyed, blunt-spoken, straight-forward, all in all considerable of a man; and one who bore the handicap of his race like a gentleman. He never whined. On the other hand, he found something he could do and did it well—better than anyone else in this part of the world. He was a house mover. He had a knack for it. He had an intuitive knowledge of the weight and heft of things. If he had been educated he would have made a successful civil engineer. But as it was, he did his work so well that men beat a path to his door running after him to do work for them. His was a successful life. He had sense—lots of it. He showed his sense when he married a smart woman—a worthy partner, who always has kept up her end of the log, together they reared a self-respecting, useful family. They—the Tiptons, father, mother and children—are creditable members of this community. And to those who survive the departed father the Gazette extends the heartfelt, fraternal sympathy of a community that is loser by this hardworking, right-minded, kind-hearted man's death"—The Emporia Gazette. MAKING A MARTYR Reproach Honoring Chattanoogaans Bring Reproach Upon Themselves in Honoring Shipp, Says Mall. When Captain Joseph F. Shipp, Chattanooga, Tenn., returned to that city a few evenings ago after an enforced absence he was met at the railway station by more than 10,000 of his fellow citizens, who gave him what one enthusiastic reporter describes as 'the most unique reception ever accorded a private citizen of Chattanooga.' Bands played "Dixie" and "Home, Sweet Home." The crowd cheered and wept by turns. Women screamed in delight, children clapped their hands in glee and strong men sobbed, while the strains of "the most pathetic music were drowned in the shouts of rejoicing that went up" Captain Shipp himself was so greatly moved that he could not speak. The best he could do was to raise his hat and "how right and left to his admiring friends." They had greeted him like a returning hero, and he appears to have felt like one. It was a great evening for him and for Chattanooga. Captain Shipp was not returning from the battlefield bearing the laurels of victory. Nor was he coming home after some fine exploit in behalf of humanity and civilization. On the contrary, he was merely getting back after completing a term in prison for a wanton outrage on law and justice. As sheriff of Hamilton county he ignored orders of the State and Federal authorities directing him to adopt necessary precautions to protect the life of an accused Negro whose case had been appealed to the United States Supreme Court. As a result of his deliberate neglect the Negro was lynched, and for his part in the affair Sheriff Shipp was adjudged guilty of contempt by the United States Supreme Court and sentenced to ninety days' imprisonment. It was on his return from the fall where he served that sentence that Chattanooga slipped over" and hated him as a hero and martyr. The people of Chattanooga are entitled to all the glory they can get out of their reception to Captain Shipp. They say they will reelect him to the shriekiness and probably they will. But in doing so they will merely impair their own safeguards for life and property and bring reach upon themselves by doing honor to a man who by the degree of the highest court in the land is indelibly branded as an offender against the law—The New York Evening Mail "Beside this corpse that bears for winding sheet The stars and stripes he lived to rear anew.

Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. Fine Bluff, Ark. Feb 15—Prof. Isaac Fisher, principal of Branch Normal College, who won one of the principal offered by the Manufacturers' Record of Baltimore some months ago, the promoters thinking that he was white, is making quite a reputation as an essayist. He has been awarded an other prize, this time competing in an essay contest conducted in Dayton, O. The first news of Prof Fisher's last success was received in Pine Bluff a few days ago, when a prominent white citizen received a printed circular from The Moneyweight Scales Company of Dayton, O., containing information that Lace Fisher, 19 E. 18th Street, Pine Bluff, Ark. had won first prize on the merits of the Moneyweight Scales, and that a resident of Iowa had won second According to Prof. Fisher, he prepared the essay last summer and had entirely forgotten about it. He has neither received the notice nor the prize, but has hired the company for information. The significance of this last prize is that it makes the fourth that Prof. Fisher has won since January, 1908, and it establishes beyond question his ability to a logical and powerful writer The prizes which he has won for es- sure as follows: 1908—Craftsmaster contest, New York. The Relation Between Manual Training in the Schools and Industrial Education and Efficiency." Third prize. 1909—Manufacturers' Record, Baltimore. "A Plan to Give the South a System of Highways Sutied to Its Needs." Second prize 1909—Hart, Schaffner and Marx, Chicago. "German and American Methods of Regulating Trusts." Second prize 1910—Moneyweight Scales Company, Dyton, O. "The Merits of the Moneyweight Scales." First prize The prize to be given by the Scales Company to Prof. Fisher aggregates $100 in cash. He has received in literary contests prices amounting to nearly one thousand dollars Prof. Fisher, who is a Negro, and a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, recently received a letter from a Colorado Magazine publisher, requesting him "as one of the leading American experts whose news on many subjects are worth while," to submit an article on any subject that interests him, for which he is to be a large sum HOWARD UNIVERSITY NOTES. Terrell Appointed Lecturer in Law School-Board of Trus- nce Académies Home of General Award to The New York Act Washington, D. C. Feb 15—Judge Robert H Terrell was appointed a lecturer in the Howard University Law School at the semi-annual meeting of the board of trustees held last week. The plenary three-story mansion of the board, founder and former president of the university, adjoining the campus, has been secured by the board of trustees on such a basis that they are now asking for contributions with a new way to making it the permanent home of the School of Theology. This will place this department with its faculty of four and its student body of over one hundred on the same basis as the Schools of Medicine and Law, each of which has its separate building. Dr Frank P. Woodhurst, former secretary of the V M A and for some years professor of practical theology, has been made director of the new Correspondence School of Theology, which has been established. Indications point a large enrollment of ministers from all parts of the South. Dr Abram Fleicher of the Carnegie Institution for the Advancement of Teaching recently made a careful examination of the equipment and work of the School of Medicine. The attendance at this school has nearly doubled in the last three years, and nearly $20,000 has been put into new equipment and improvements. Instead of the old Senior faculty" of nine that directed the School for nearly forty years, an entire organization has taken place, and the professional and executive work has been placed in charge of an administrative faculty comprising all the professors and associate professors and a faculty council of seven. The latter has finally authored in financial and other recommendations for the board of trustees, which it has now been brought into these working relations. Within three years the budget of this school has been doubled. It has been entirely changed to a day school and is registered under the State Board of Regents of New York. It is significant that the medical students, practically all self-supporting, paid in tuition this last year more than $60,000 cash. Dean Dalloho has been elected secretary of the Medical Association of the District of Columbia. Prof John I. Well has almost ready the press his History of the Chris n Church in which he has been working for several years, spending his summer in Europe in special research work. He has been again elected as designer of the Society of the May- ower of the City. A new edition of Dean Kelly Miller's Race Adjustment has been called for and issued on the press. A bill for the opening of a broad avenue from south street through the University grounds to McMillan Park has been granted to Congress. It is blessed for this to connect with Ver- mont ave. on a straight line to the University Mansion. This will have a real connection to the university, and form a cross-triangle, the west side of which will be used by the Science Hall new building. The proposed new build- ings for the School of Medicine are adapted to take the south side of the immediately adjoining the half- million dollar plant of the Freedmen's Hospital. The new president of the Board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia, succeeding Commissioner Macfarland, is Cuno H Rudolph, who for 20 years has been chairman of the board of trustees and of the executive committee of Howard University. President Thurkield recently attended the Tuskegee Conference, expressing the conviction that the work of Howard University should relate itself through its graduates to every colored farmer of the South. He took a sixty-mile drive over the country to Kowaliga Institute, in Alabama, with W E Benson, one of the most efficient graduates of the College of Arts and Sciences. He not only founded the institute, but is head of the Dixie Improvement Company, with its estate of 10,000 acres, which he organized. Three hundred people are being taught the best methods of farming, and are given winter employment in the saw mill, turpentine gin and other industries, at the town of Benson, established in the center of the tract. Stone structures are to replace the burned buildings of the institute, for which Mr Benson has raised $20,000, beside $10,000 endowment Recent lecturers in the Memorial Chapel have been Dr Robert Braun of Budapest University, Germany; Dr Lyon, U S Minister to Liberia, and Dr Gates of Fisk University INSTRUCTION AT MEHARRY. New Features to be Added at College—Annual Clinic Very Successful-Dr. Dan Williams in Charge. Special to The New York AQS. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 15—Enlargement of the scope of work of the Meharry Medical College at Walden University has been announced by Dr. G. W. Hubbard, Dean of the Medical Department, chief features among the clinical instruction, nurse training and nurse development. Already the way is being paved for a new $40,000 structure to be known as the George W. Hubbard Hospital and which will be thoroughly modern and the facilities complete for the adaptability of this purpose. For a number of years this department of the work has been carried on at Mercy Hospital under the management of Dr R F Bowl, who is a member of the faculty of the Mehary College. Once a year a special surgical clinic has been held at the hospital with Dr Dan H Williams, of Chicago, as chief surgical instructor, and with the growth of this department of the institution, more modern facilities, the new hospital will be heralded by the faculty and friends of the university as a great benefactor for this particular feature in the education of Negro men and women for the medical profession This annual clinic was held at the Mercy Hospital several days ago. Thirty-six cases were received and operated upon by Dr. Wiltraams, who had as assistants, Drs R F Boyd, A F Stewart, J A McMillin, J H. Hale, H T Geder, C V Roman and H T Noel, of this city, and a number of visiting physicians among them being Dr. J A Kenny resident physician of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. All of the patients are recovering and it is said, also, that it was one of the most successful in position of an artist ever held for the benefit of the students of the college, there being a full attendance of both students in the medical and nurse training departments during each operation. Dr Dan H. Williams, who is a member of the faculty of the Medical Department of Walden, is recognized as the foremost Negro surgeon in America. He is a member of the Illinois State Board of Health and was for many years Surgeon in Chief of the Freedman's Hospital at Washington, D.C. and founded later the Provident Hospital of Chicago, where he now resides and has attained such great distinction in the surgical profession. BEREA TO GET ENDOWMENT Dr D. K. Pearsona to Contribute $100—President Frost on Vacation for Health. Special to The New York Acc. Louisville, Ky., Feb 15—President William G. Frost, of Berea College, whose work for the Southern mountaineers has attracted wide attention, recently sailed from New York for Europe for an extended rest under the direction of his physicists. Dr Frost built upon a good foundation for Berea for years, but was founded among anti slavery Kentuckians in 1895, and the things that are influential in the South are the things that were "before the war." The institution has just received a high compliment in the promise of Dr D K Pearson, the Chicago philanthropist, to pay a visit on his nineteenth birthday next April and to contribute at that time $100,000 for endowment provided $400,000 shall be secured by that time from other sources. In President Frost's enforced absence a committee of trustees headed by Mr H A Wilder, of Birmingham will take up the campaign for this endowment. The institution is more and more adapting itself to the special needs which it discovered in the Southern mountains. The people of the region owned land but did not own slaves, and are a vigorous folk, widely distinguished from the "poor whites" and are not the book worn people by any means. Berea's normal department is distinguished as enrolling more young men than women. Its vocational schools have just been grouped under the supervision of Dean Marsh, and embrace mountain agriculture wood work nursing and household management and other practical branches. The new men's dormitory costing $10,000, erected mainly by the labor of students, is soon to be finished, and the heat and power plant is being installed. Prof George N. Ellis, formerly president of Tabor College, Iowa acts as regent while President Frost is abroad President to Dedicate New Carnegie Library Building Special to The New York AoR Washington, D.C. Feb 16 - President Taft will dedicate the new Carnegie Library building on March 10. As he laid the cornerstone with fitting ceremonies at last commencement, this renewed expression of interest is gratifying to the friends of the institution. In his cornerstone This institution here is the partial repayment of a debt—only partial—to a race to which the government and the people of the United States are eternally indebted. He paid a high tribute to Howard, and closed the address with this significant endorsement. Everything that I can do as an employee of this university is along this university I expect to do. I expect to do it because I believe it is a debt of the people of the United States, it is an obligation of the government of the United States, and it is money constitutionally applied to that which shall work out in the end the solution of one of the great problems that God has put upon the people of the United States." Dr. Washington in Ponghkeepsie. Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Feb. 1—On Tuesday, January 25, Booker T. Washington spoke to an over-crowded house at Ebenner Baptist Church.

CELEBRATE IN SPRINGFIELD of such institutions as Hampton and Tuskegee we have gotten to the pom where the masses of the colored people of the South no longer feel that it is a disgrace for an educated person to work with his hands. "The Emancipation Proclamation not only freed my race in this respect, but the signing of this proclamation was but the symbol of another, still greater and momentous. We who celebrate this anniversary should not forget that the slave was freed by four millions of African slaves, at the same time struck the shackles from the souls of thirty-seven millions of Americans of another color Races Like Individuals. "Industrial education not only has a tremendous economic value for my race, but through its influence my race is taught to keep its feet upon the earth. It is a great thing in the case of a race, as it is in the case of an individual, to teach that race during its youthful period to keep its feet upon the earth. Races, much like individuals, have to pass through their silly period. When a boy is seventeen or eighteen years of age he is passing through his silly period. Races have the same experience, and when a race is passing through its silly period people must be patient and long suffering with it. "To my race the life of Abraham Lincoln has its special lesson at this point in our career. In so far as his life emphasizes patience, long-suffering, sincerity, naturalism, dogged determination and courage, courage to avoid the superficial courage to persistently seek the substance instead of the shadow, it points the road for my people to travel." Should Be Like Lincoln "As a race we are learning, I believe in an increasing degree, that the best way for us to honor the memory of our emancipator is by seeking to imitate him. Like Lincoln, the Negro race should seek to be simple, without bigotry and without ostentation. There is great power in simplicity. We, as a race, should, like Lincoln, have moral courage to be what we are, and not pretend to be what we are not. We should keep in mind that no one can degrade us except ourselves, that if we are worthy, no influence can defeat us. Like other races the Negro will often meet obstacles often be sorely tried and tempted but we must keep in mind that freedom, in the broadest and highest sense, has never been a bequest, it has been a conquest. In the final test, the success of our race will be in proportion to the service that it renders to the world. In the long run the badge of service is the badge of sovereignty. Satisfactory Work. "The most satisfactory results of the opportunities which Lincoln's proclamation has given to my people can be seen in the work of the thousands of graduates and other students who have gone out from Tuskegee and similar schools. When they go often into lonely and secluded districts, with little thought of salary, with little thought of personal welfare, no drums heat, no banners fly, no friends stand by to cheer them on, no teachers bring souls who are erecting school houses to support systems, prolonging school terms, teaching the people to buy homes, build houses and live decent lives, are fighting the battles of this country just as truly and bravely as any persons who go forth to fight battles against a foreign foe. Gradually but surely the relations between the black man and the white man in the Southern States are growing more satisfactory. You must not be deceived in this respect. One difficulty is that the North hears of the worst that takes place in the South as between races, but rarely hears of the best that takes place in the South. Go into any Southern community as I go, get into the real life of the people and you will find that every Negro has his white friend, and every white man has his Negro friend, and it would have been impossible for the Negro to have made the material progress that I have indicated unless he had in every community in the South white people to help him, stand by him and protect him. In the last analysis, the average black man is more like the best white people in this country than any foreign race that comes here. We have more elements in common with him. We profess the same religion, speak the same language, wear the same clothes and eat the same kind of food. And, best of all, we love the institutions of this country as no foreigner can and the best people of this country realize that "I mollest was not afraid or ashamed to come into contact with the body of all races. His reputation and social position were not of such a transitory and transparent kind that he was afraid he would lose them by being just and kind even to a man of dark skin. I always pity from the bottom of my heart any man who feels that somebody else must be kept down or in ignorance in order that he may appear great by comparison. It requires no courage for a strong man to kick a weak one down Difficult Problem I appreciate fully that we have a hard difficult task before us in the solving of our problem, but we as a people should not despair in the face of a difficult and perplexing problem, but should welcome it as an opportunity for the highest development of ourselves. It is only by meeting and solving difficult problems that races, like individuals, can be made strong and useful. Between 7th and 8th Avenues Handsomely Furnished Rooms. First class Accommodation.

There are hundreds in New York who constantly use the drug, and Negroes seem to be more addicted to cocaine and morphine than any other race. The work of a number of public-spirited white women, prominently among whom are Mary W. Ovington and Frances E. Keller, has done much to lessen the prevalence of this habit.

WALTON THEATRICAL COMMENT LAST season an experiment was tried at the Pekin Theatre, Chicago, which convinced Manager Motts that the time is not opportune for colored theatres to present stock companies in plays without music week after week. Yet, after the expenditure of thousands of dollars on farce comedies, etc., which finally resulted in the withdrawal of the stock company and the substitution of vaudeville, there were some who failed to reach the conclusions formed by Manager Motts Attempts have been made to successfully produce plays without music in other cities within the past two months, which have resulted even more drastically than the Chicago test. At the Pekin Theatre the public did support farce comedies for a month or more without tiring, but in the other cities interest waned within less than a week What might be regarded as a coincidence is that the Pekin Stock Company has taken part in all the experiments The other two cities recently invaded by the talented but injudicious performers from the "Windy City" were New Orleans and Memphis, Tenn. It is rather difficult to understand how they expected to succeed in these two cities along similar lines as pursued in Chicago which resulted none too encouragingly About the first of the year the old Pekin Stock Company opened at the Temple Theatre, New Orleans, for an indefinite run, but the engagement was short-lived, as the public did not take to plays without music. Memphis was next visited, and at Church's Auditorium the repertoire consisted of "The Man Up Stairs," "Uncle's Baby" and "Montana," minus even a piece of interpolated music. Had the company appeared in the musical successes that made the Pekin Theatre widely known a few years ago this article would have never been written. Let some one take a good musical company to either New Orleans or Memphis and note the difference. The engagement will result in a financial as well as an artistic success. According to the present plans of the management of The New Theatre, "The Nigger" will be presented outside of New York City, and will be played by the original cast A short time ago the following an nouncement was made through the press The New Theatre will close its first season during the last week of April, after which, in a private train of fourteen cars its stock company will begin a tour which will take it as far west as Kansas City. The longest engagement will be played in Chicago, for which two weeks have been allotted. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, St Louis, Pittsburgh and Kansas City are some of the cities to be visited. The repertoire will comprise The Nigger "Strife," Don, "The Cottage in the Air," "The School for Sandal" "Twelfth Night, and Beethoven In speaking of presenting "The Nigger" and other successful plays in other cities, Director Ames has given out the following statement. During the season we shall produce two plays. Six of them have already been presented. Out of these twelve we shall take a sufficient number to interest the actors during a one or two weeks engagement in a city. Our idea is not to give any one play more than two performances in a single city. The company that goes on tour will be the one that has played here. So far as I know there will be no changes. The scenery will be the same as used at the New Theatre as well the costumes and properties. In other words, we shall give potions in cities outside of New York except by the same plays we present here with precisely the same company. It will, we should be interesting to learn just what the public and critics think of "The Nigger" in other cities where it will be produced before influences somewhat unlike those that are wont to congregate at what is known as "the moth matrix" the title. Manager of The Red Moon Company Missing. "Where is Manager Elder Healy of The Red Moon Company? This question is causing Star and Havin Cole and Johnson, and Business Manager Sam Corker is much worried as some of our eminent scientists who are desirous of ascertaining the whereabouts of Dr Cook of North Palo Alto fame. Especially have the two men used in several sleepless nights later in their endeavor to solve the mysterious disappearance of their manager. However up to this writing all their efforts have been in vain. The absence of Manager Healy was first noted by Cole and Johnson during the latter part of the week while the company was playing at the Grand Opera House Toronto Car. Nothing was said of his disappearance as being thought he would show up in Petersboro Can. on Monday, February 7. However, an investigation soon had used that Manager Healy had not been seen in Petersboro. The police authorities in Canada have been informed of Manager Healy's appearance and a search is being instituted to locate him. It is feared by the members of the company that he has earlier met with foul play or committed suicide, as he has of late been despondent, suffering from an aggravated attack of rheumatism. It is said that he has been heard to express a desire to end his life because of his alment. The exact amount of money Manager Healy had in his possession when last seen is not known. One report has it that he disappeared with $2000 of the company's money, while it is also rumored that the amount was $800. An auditor from the offices of Stair and Haylin left Sunday for Montreal and is going over the accounts of the company Business Manager Corker is temporarily in charge of the organization. Manager Healy, who is about thirty-two years old, succeeded Philip Robson as manager of The Red Moon Company at the opening of the theatrical season. For a number of years he filled a similar position with Kellar, the magician WHERE THE SHOWS ARE MR LODE OF KOAL - National Theatre Philadelphia, Pa.

The largest crowd that ever attended a basketball game in True Reformers Hall witnessed the defeat of the Brooklyn Smart Set team by the 12th Street M.C. A boys by the score of 24 to 14. At the flow of the first whistle ball was issued from Henderson to Curtis back to Henderson and shot into the basket from midfield. After a foul thrown by Henderson and another goal by Curtis the Y.M.C. A boys were never headed. At the end of the first half the score stood 17 to 6 in favor of the Washington boys. The Smart Set team played a much faster game in the second half but Gray and Taylor at guard positions broke up every attempt of the Smart Set to count save a couple Moore and Oliver played a very steady game for the visiting team. The local team was a warm favorite particularly because the Smart Set team insisted that Hudson Oliver, the beat of the Y M C A players be barred from the game on account of his membership in the Smart Set Club, and also on account of the presence of "buck" Curtis, who got up out of a slick bed and played with his head in bandages and made good the game was fast and rough at times.

Both the Alpha Physical Culture Club and the St Christopher Athletic Club deny all responsibility for the failure of the Baltimore High basket ball team to put in an appearance at the Alpha games February 2. The following letter has been received from the St Christopher Club To the Sporting Editor of The Age The members of St Christopher Club wish to state that they were not at all responsible for the non appearance of the Baltimore High School basketball team at the Alpha games on February 2. The manager of the Alphans assisted the manager of the St Christophers that his club (Alpha) would pay the expenses of bringing the Baltimore team to this city. So under those conditions, the St Christopher manager agreed to arrange the game. About two weeks before the event was to take place the Alpha manager notified the St Christopher manager that he would expect St Christopher to bear the expense of the Baltimore team because that was out of the question that he could reasonably expect St Christopher to go to that expense for an affair that was to be given by Alpha. It is humorous to even think of it, especially when St Christopher was to furnish two of the three games to be played In conclusion, St Christopher regrets that it was unable to meet the team from Baltimore, as it was indeed very anxious to play them but of course as been explained it would not have been excellent MAJOR HART The Alphas side of the case is given as follows To the Sporting Editor of The Age A word of explanation. In disap- pointing the public concerning the third game that was omitted on Feb- ruary 2 the club disburses any respon- sibility for the culture of the Baltimore High School to appear. The manager of the New York team is scheduled to play them made the supposed ar- rangements and repeatedly assured the Alpha manager that the game will be played at the stadium. It was advertised. When a local team was drafted one day before the game, as not to present its patrons so soon as again. But when the third game is a member of the league for that game the Alpha man must present what is to be allowed to do, and not allow the strings Practical Nature of the Clip THE WINNER OF THE FIGHT?

What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all areas. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn harsh kinky or curly hair softer, more pliable and glossy easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition and two to four bottles regular size are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle Ford's Hair Pomade removes and presents daudruf invigorates the scalp and keeps it from getting harsh and dry stops itching and prevents the hair from becoming brittle. It lifts the life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used with splendid results on children and infants. Delicately perfumed its use is a constant pleasure. A most satisfactory treatment for ladies, gentlemen and children.

Regular Correspondence of Tus Acz. Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 15—A central heating and light plant to cost $50,000 and upward that will heat and light up all the connecting buildings of Fisk Uni- versity, additional teachers for the sev- eral departments, and other increased facilities for enlargement of the work of the institution, were the chief rec- ommendations to ‘the board of trustees Of the university, which met in New York several days ago, which were adopted, and which had the indorse- ment of Dr Booker T Washington, the newly appointed trustee, and who spent several days at the university here sev- eral weeks ago seeking into its needs. The new nresident, George A Gates, was responsible for’ the recommenda: tions which went before the board, and felt that no dificulty would be expert- enced in securing what had been asked for inthis connection. The only difficulty to be encoutnered, if any, will be in se- curing a trunk ling of sewerage, which he thinks might be furnished by the city ‘of Nashville in the neighborhood of the University, but st 1s not beheved that this will stand in the way of establish- ing the proposed plant "5 udge Horace qi Lurton, the Su- preme Justice, was elected a member of the trustee board at its recent meeting, But President Gates stated that it was doubtful if he would be able to serve, but that in a recent conversation had with him in Washington, Judge Lurton expressed his interest sn Fisk Univer- tity and praised the great work being done there. Tt seems that the present sistem of heating at Fisk 15 not only unsatisfac- tory, but expensive, being done by heat- ing ‘systeyas in each building — It 1s also greafly desired to install a light plant by means of which in the long run Ht is opected expense could be put down. In dddition to the proposed heating and Hight plant, a new fence 1s to be constructed around the entire grounds of the university, stated Prof. Gates. ‘The Rev. Dr. W Sampson Brooks, pastor of the St. Paul A. ME. Church, Gn Fourth avenue South, here, with the co-operation of the Mavor of Nash- Yille, Hon. J. C Napier, Dr R. F. Boyd, Rev. Preston Taylor, Hon A. N. Johnson and other leading and influen- tial Negro citizens, has established in the rear of the St. Paul Church in a storehouse built for the purpose, a cen- tral charity station, known as the “Help- ing Hand Variety Store,” and is dis- Bensing to the poor of that community such things as will make it a charitable agency resulting in great benefit to the unfortunate of the race. *"Dr, Brooks has had wide experience areetthsrent' work in a-number of the Targer cities of the country, and is known to have exerted a large amount | of influence among the poorer classes here during the recent severe cold weather toward bringing about general relief to those needing aid. | Tn addition to dispensing articles to the poor of every desenption supplied to, it from time to time, such things as may be sold to the best advantage, the pro- ceeds contributed to those m need, will be a feature of the Helping Hand Van- ety Store. The home of Mrs M Johnson, 1006 Ninth avenue North, was the scene of a pretty home wedding last. Wednes- day evening, when her daughter, Mrs. Genie B Willams, and Mr Peter R Patterson were united in marrage by the Rev Dr C H Clark, the grooms Rasor. The strains of Mendelssohn's fedding March, played by Miss Mag- gie Stubbs, was the signal for the en- trance of the bridal party ‘The minister entered first, taking his place in front of the arch in the parlor Under which the bride and groom stood which was between the parlor and sit- fig room, and which was decorated with ivy and ferns aad wiute chrysan- themums ‘The bride wore a white silk messaline princess gown, lace trimmed, and car- tied white carnations The groom wore conventional black Punch was served to the guests as they entered After the ceremony an ice course was served im the dining room, the color scheme being carried out.
