House Committee on District of Columbia Acts Adversely HEFLIN TURNED DOWN Representative Coudrey of St. Louis Fought Bill—J. Milton Turner Thanks Congressman for Interest Shown. Special to Tue New York Age. Washington, D. C., March 2. At a session of the Committee on the District of Columbia of the House of Representatives, held last week, Congressman Heflin's bill to provide separate street cars for white and colored passengers of Washington was given a black eye. The bill was turned down by the committee, despite the efforts of Heflin and allies to have it passed. It is said that Heflin's disgraceful conduct on the street cars has not proved a good argument that Negroes should be put in 'Jim Crow' cars because of their alleged obnoxious actions. Congressman H. M. Coudrey of St. Louis, Mo., was one of the members of the committee who was opposed to the passage of such a measure. In the following letter to J. Milton Turner of St. Louis, ex minister to Laheria, Congressman Coudrey made known the action of the committee relative to the Heflin bill. Dear Mr. Turner I enclose herewith copy of a bill which was before the Committee on the District of Columbia of the House of Representatives of which I am a member and we failed to pass it yesterday, and I hope this will end the Jim Crow matter for this session anyway. For you and your friends will not hesitate to command me whenever I can be of service. I beg to remain, with my very best wishes to you always. (Signed) H M COUDREY Prevalency of Unjust Measures. Mr. Turner's reply to Representative Coudrey was as follows: Dear Mr. Coudrey: I have had the honor to receive your letter of date February 24, 1910, in which you invite my attention to the defeat by the Committee on the District of Columbia of the House of Representatives, of which you are a member, of H. R. Bill 1921-222 entitled "A bill providing the street and company of the District of Columbia shall provide a separate street cars for white and Negro passengers." You do not mention in so many words your own persistent activity in the defeat of that unfair measure, but that fact is perfectly well known to me, and I thank you for it. In these strange times when oppressive and unjust measures are so prevalent and so discouraging to the best efforts of the Negro who would uphold himself the mute man who you stand up at any and all times and places for the constitutional rights of that class, uniformly refusing to be biased because of "race, color or previous condition of servitude" furnish the only rays of light and hope in the Negro's black sky. Thanking you for your expressed willingness to be of additional service to the interests of my people and hespanking for you the continuance of your highly useful public career, I am, sir. Very respectfully. J MILTON TURNER PLEDGE $10,000 Important Meeting Held in Interest of Metropolitan Merchant Realty Company—Concern Needs $25,000 Cash to Meet Pressing Bills. At a meeting of stockholders of the Metropolitan Merchant and Realty Company held February 23, $10,000 was pledged the company in response to a call of the directors for the raising of $25,000 to meet pressing bills which must be paid at a near date. Similar meetings are to be held in Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. On account of the none too rosate financial condition during the past two years and a half it has been no easy matter to get shareholders to pay in stalnuts when due, which has caused the concern much financial embarrassment, being unable, at times, to meet pressing demands from mechanics and other creditors. The officers and directors of the company feel much enraged by the meeting held last week, as the stockholders nobly responded to the call for and, some hedging $100, and others $56 and $25 The entire Metropolitan and Mercantile Buildings were thrown open for inspection and hundreds took advantage of the opportunity to inspect the property. The Massive Temple made a favorable impression on the visitors, as did the cold Lilies Hall the Lilies Hall and the offices of Lire New York Ave. on the ground floor. Lire Ave being quarted in the most up to date offices of any Negro newspaper in the country. The general condition of the company was made known at the meeting, the report showing values amounting to $300,000.

Special to The New York Age. Atlanta, Ga., March 1.—Last Friday afternoon another chapter was added to the Morris-Brown College controversy, in which Bishops Turner and Flipper and Rev Stinson are arrayed against President Lee and Bishop Smith, when Bishop Smith took out a permit for $5,000 repairs on the Morris-Brown Building. It is charged by Rev Stinson that this permit was taken out by Bishop Smith without being authorized by the board of trustees. "It is an action to cause trouble between the whites and blacks," declared Rev Stinson Saturday morning. "Smith is a dangerous man and should be removed from the South to the North, where he came from. I have talked to many people, whites and blacks, and it is probable that if he is not removed any other way he will be driven out of town by force. He sent letters to citizens telling them that he had no desire to rebuild on the same site, and now takes out this permit without being authorized by the board." A petition signed by about two hundred prominent white citizens of Atlanta was sent to the Bishops Council when they were in session, and Rev. Stinson claims that this was destroyed before ever being seen by the council. He states that he is of the opinion that Smith was at the back of this. When asked about the permit Saturday morning, Bishop Smith stated that he had been authorized by the board to take it out, and that Rev. Stinson's statement "was just meant for annoyance." ADDRESS ON "CLEANLINESS" Dr. David D. Thompson Speaks Before Bay State Medical, Dentals and Pharmaceutical Society—Cleanliness a Mark of Politeness. Special to The New York Age. Boston, Mass., March 1—The public meeting of the Bay State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Society at the Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church Sunday afternoon was well attended. The most interesting address was that delivered by Dr. David D. Thompson, who put much emphasis on bathing and cleanliness. He stated that Addison recommends cleanliness as a mark of politeness and as analogous to purity of mind; and that in both Jewish and Mohammedan law it is enforced as a part of religious duty. "A dirty Christian may perhaps be found, but not among those who mean to be intelligent," he said, "and the motive for cleanliness is often a lower and a meaner one than should be allowed. The importance of keeping the skin clean is not generally appreciated. Many persons would be mortified to have their hands or face or neck dirty who do not wash their whole bodies once in a year." Continuing, the speaker said "When bathing is neglected and the undergarments are not changed sufficiently often, the insensible perspiration accumulates and dries upon the skin, mingling with the oily matter secreted by the oil glands and the shreds of the scarf skin, forming a tenacious glue matter which closes up the pores. By this misfortune large quantities of worn-out tissue, which usually goes off with the perspiration, is retained to poison and embarrass the living current of blood, or seek an outlet through the lungs or kidneys, which are already burdened with all they are able to do." The doctor concluded his address by saying "A people with clean hands, clean bodies and clean alth will very naturally come to like clean streets and clean cities, and finally clean consciences." Maryland Progressive League Committee. Special to Tus New York Aor. Baltimore, Md, March 1—The Maryland Progressive League has appointed a committee to look into and make a report on the economic and social conditions confronting the Negro in this city. The committee consists of Daniel A Brooks, head of the department of manual training and business at the Colored High School, Hugh G Macbeth of the Baltimore Times, and Franklin F Johnson of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger LETS OUT ITALIANS; REHIRES NEGROES Southern Planter Finds. That Foreign Labor Scheme Fails GIVES OUT INTERVIEW Declares That After Experiment He Prefers Negro Laborers—Tells of His Many Troubles with Italians Special to The New York Age Little Rock, Ark, March 1—Several days ago Col John M Gracie, a wealthy cotton plunter, who has been experimenting with the best Italian labor possible for a number of years, recently made the announcement he had reached the conclusion that Italrans are good only for ordinary labor, and that instead of the experiment proving profitable it has resulted disastrously Speaking of the situation Colonel Gracie said I am free to say, after my long experience with them, that as a whole, they are a people who care nothing for their contracts, and that they are money mad, with no thought but for the dollar. I have replaced a large majority of them with Negroes, for whom I displaced the Negroes three years ago I am deeply disappointed with them. I will admit. A number of Italians who have been on the Gracie plantations for some time have gone elsewhere at a considerable cost to themselves, and are paying more rent for land while they might have remained where they were and where they this past year made a considerable amount of money Colonel Gracie went to Italy several times and saw the people who later came to America. They came to Arkansas, and some of them, after staying a short time departed, leaving Colonel Gracie with the expenses of the undertaking to pay. In some cases the people did not have sufficient funds with which to move, and he aided them. In some instances he donated enough to tide them over the move. A chapel has been erected on the plantations, a physician secured, a priest employed, and each family had a comfortable house, and in some instances as much as $2,000 was made this past year by one family. Yet they have determined to either go back to Italy or elsewhere, and the Negroes have been put in their places. Attempt at Colonization Failed. An effort was made to colonize them, but this proved to be a failure. Colonel Gracie and others offered to sell them such amounts of land as they desired at prices which might be agreed upon, but they with one accord declared they did not want to purchase land, and that after a time they proposed to return to Italy. The younger members of the families, after living on the plantation a year, do not desire to return, but seem to become possessed of the idea that "just over the hill" more money is to be made and easier conditions will obtain. Colonel Grace hears all complaints from his people, not delegating this to his overseers, and in some instances he has been known to allow the abrogation of a contract rather than to cast a hardship upon one of his people Olivet's Pastor Wins Suit. The suit of Mrs Bettie Wells against the Rev Dr M W Gilbert, the pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist Church, and J B Wood, one of the trustees of the same church, was concluded last Wednesday in the Supreme Court, Part 5, before Justice Brady, Mrs Wells sued Dr Gilbert and Mr Wood for false arrest and malicious prosecution, and claimed damages to the sum of four thousand dollars. Immediately after the witnesses for Mrs Wells were heard, Justice Brady dismissed from the bench the first count against Dr Gilbert. The jury heard the testimony in full, and they rendered their decision in favor of Dr Gilbert and Mr Wood within five minutes after they had retired. The cause of Mrs Wells was sustained by Counsellors S F Edmdead of Brooklyn, and Wilford H Smith, while that of Dr Gilbert and Mr Wood was supported by Counsellors J Douglass Wetmore and Morton K Averill. TOOK NEGRO HERBS "Minister of Medicine" Got $15,000 From Swope Family. Kansas City Mar 1 How Chessing Hatred Chase Jordan, a Negro herb doctor of Kansas City, Kan, who advertises himself as "minister of medicines, medical doctor and doctor of liver and gall stone," obtained some $15,000 in eight years for doctoring members of the Swope family was told by the "doctor" last Friday. He gave a deposition in the slander sent brought by Dr B C Hyde against John G Paxton executor for the estate of Col Thomas W Swope, whose death is under investigation by a grand Jury. Jordan's name was first brought into the Swope case when Mrs B C Hyde issued a statement expressing confidence in her husband's innocence, and saying that Christman Swope used Jordan's remedies. Jordan gave his deposition after much protest, as he claimed his ministerings to the Swopes had nothing to do with the case. Jordan testified that his medicines were harmless "jarbs." He said they were compounded from roots and leaves obtained in foreign countries and in the woods near Kansas City. The herbman says he was born in Chilu and was reared by a Negro, El Jordan, in Texas. There is no record of his having a physician's license in Kansas. Do Not Want Orphan Asylum near Hyde Park. Poughkeepsie, N. Y, March 1—The report that a Negro orphan asylum is to be located on the Cornelius Vail estate, near the homes of Frederick Vanderbilt, John H. Huyler, Archibald Rogers and other millionaire residents of Hyde Park, has started a local movement to buy the Vail place and head off the asylum. An option on the Vail olace had been obtained by New York real estate men. The whole town is aroused and several meetings have been held. No such institution ever before attempted to force its way into the region so popular with New York millionai: es. Hyde Park citizens fear that should asylum gain a foothold value of land would depreciate. BETHEL FINANCIER SPEAKS. Rev. Hurst Speaks to Baltimore Charities Special to THE NEW YORK AQR Baltimore, March 2.—Rev. Dr. John Hurst of Washington, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, delivered an address before the colored auxiliary of the Federated Charities last Friday night, in which he urged co-operation with the work organized charity is doing for the unfortunate "Real and substantial growth among us here," he said, "or among any other people, is not only our increase in real estate holdings, not in our business ventures, not in the ever-increasing numbers of our public school teachers, and not in the number of capable men that come to us in the learned professions. These things often work to the disadvantage of a people; they often tend to foster a class spirit, they often develop a barrier between people instead of broadening and making smooth the path that leads to their happiness as a whole. "The real and substantial growth on rise of a people is to be found in the realization on the part of its strongest members and those most enlightened among them of the fact that the gifts they possess and their accomplishments are but opportunities that have been afforded them to serve and better the condition of the weaker ones among them." Bishop Blackwell in Syracuse. Syracuse, March 1—The visit of Rev Bishop G L Blackwell, DD, resulted in much good in the spiritual uplift and intellectual as well of Syracuse. There is no man in our race more popular in this city than he. He preached Sunday night to a packed house on the subject "Every Man Stand in His Place," quoting largely the great battle won by Gideon, showing that he was God's choice to lead the army on to victory. He also lectured Monday evening on the subject "How to Make a Race." He outlined four particular points. First was industrial advancement, second, financial advancement, third, moral advancement; fourth, spiritual advancement. He said without these no race can become a power in the world, after which Mrs. L. R. Robinson sang "These Are They" Miss Luzie Hall also rendered a choice selection. Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS HOLD SERVICES IN PLAYHOUSE Big Religious Meeting Conducted Sunday at Crescent Theatre Nearly Thirty Inactive Church Members Declare They Intend to Lead Better Lives Three Hundred Men Attend Services—Rev. Dr. Gilbert Preaches on, "The Wages of Sin." An innovation in local church circles was inaugurated by a number of well-known Negro ministers last Sunday afternoon when religious services were held at the Crescent Theatre, 36-38 West 135th street. Another feature of the occasion was the moving picture exhibition, which, to use the words of one of the ministers, proved "entertaining as well as instructive." The theatre was crowded with members of the male sex, ranging from youths in their teens to old, gray-haired men. Nearly three hundred were present at what was termed one of the most novel religious gatherings ever held in Harlem. So successful was the meeting that it has been decided to hold similar ones at the Crescent Theatre in the near future. The Crescent Theatre was opened several months ago by Messrs. Johnson and Flugelman, and is one of the best moving picture houses in Greater New York. Rev. Dr. M. W. Gilbert, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, was the principal speaker, and spoke on "His Wages of Sin." Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell of Abyssinian Baptist Church, and Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks of St. Mark's M. E. Church, made short addresses. Other members of the local clergy to take part in the services were the Rev. Dr J. H. McMullen of the Harlem A. M. E. Church, Rev Dr. E. W. Wisher of the Baptist Temple, and Rev Dr. McCullem The meeting was highly satisfactory to the minister. A dozen men confessed religion during the services and nearly thirty who had been at one time actively engaged in church work but in recent years have been outside of the fold, announced their intentions of returning. Church to Seek Sinners in the Future When seen by a representative of The Age after the services held Sunday afternoon at the Crescent Theatre, Rev. Gilbert said: Some weeks ago a number of the Negro ministers of New York City decided to hold religious services for men throughout the city. Furthermore, it was agreed not to be any to particular where such meeting should be held, the primary object in view being to preach the gospel where our efforts would do the most. Our meeting Sunday at the Crescent Theatre was the third of a series, the other two having been held, respectively, at St. Mark's M. E. Church and Abyssinian Baptist Church. While it is probable that they will be some adverse comment relative to holding religious meetings in a theatre on Sunday, the ministers of New York City have concluded to be as broad-minded and liberal as possible. We intend in the future to see that the church seeks the sinners instead of waiting for sinners to seek the church. Our experiment at the Crescent Theatre has been an incentive for us to continue along the lines originally planned. The moving picture exhibition which was enjoyed by all, was purely religious in character the subject of the film being the "Star of the East." WOMEN EOR EXPOSITION Missouri State Federation of Women's Clubs Passes Resolution in Envior of Semi-Centennial Collecbration in 1018. Special to THE NEW YORK AQR. St. Louis, Mo. Feb. 26.

McMullen, the pastor, from the text, "And the Lord added unto the church daily such as would be saved"—Acts ii. 47. The pointed statement of the pastor was, "That there was nothing spectacular ether in the life or in the preaching of Jesus. He simply in a matter of fact way presented the truth to men, which 'added unto the church daily such as would be saved.'" In the evening Dr McMullen spoke on the tragedy of Samson. He drew in vivid language picture how men gamble on their lives and, like Samson, take one too many risks, which end in tragedy or the breaking up of homes and the ruin of life and character. Good attendance and much interest is still manifest in the work of the Harlem Church. Bishop G. L. Blackwell, A.M., D.D. will preach for Dr. McMullen Sunday morning and evening, March 6 and the communion of the Lord's Supper will be administered at 3 o'clock, when Dr. C. Le Roy Butler will preach.

The Sunday School was able to hold a full session for the first time in three Sundays. The children were out, despite the inclementy of the weather The J. C. Price Lyceum held a Price Day on last Sunday in which the program was made up almost entirely of Livingstone College students Letters from Bishop and Mrs. C. R.

Special to the New York Age. Washington, D.C., March 1 — Negro newspapers that have reached Washington during the week chronicle the important fact that representative offices are being distributed by the administration among the Negroes of the country. The position recently given Nelson Crows of Missouri was mentioned as one of these. As a matter of fact, four colored men have been appointed during the past two or three years to similar positions under the Agricultural Department. These positions are not political, and are not paid for wholly by the government of the United States. The funds to provide the salaries come largely from the General Education Board of New York. The work is simply superintended by the Agricultural Department. For nearly two years there have been several Negroes at work, one in Virginia, another at Mound Bayou, Miss., another in Wilcox County, Ala., another in Lee County, Ala., and many others whose notes we cannot recall. The salary paid ranges from $60 to $100 per month. In regard to the position to which Mr. Johnson has been appointed the details not been made known, but it is just as well for it.

Served to The New York Age. Atlanta, Ga., March 1—The Atlanta newspapers chronicle the fact that Hon. Henry A. Rucker will soon be removed from the position of collector of internal records for the District of Georgia. When Mr Rucker is removed Mr Taft will have completed his task of removing every Negro official holding presidential office in the State of Georgia. It so happens in this case, however, that there has been no enemy stirred up by any of the Atlanta newspapers with regard to Mr Rucker. In fact, he has the good-will of the leading citizens of the city, both white and black. Very little attention, one way or the other, has been manifested by the white people with regard to Mr. Rucker holding this position. NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL CITY now That John C.

First Regular Session of Alabama State Negro Business League a Big Success—Booker T. Washington Speaks. Regular Correspondence of THE ACK. Montgomery, Ala, Feb 26—Between three and four hundred delegates and visitors attended the first regular session of the Alabama State Negro Business League, held in this city, February 17 and 18. The session was a big success, and the business men of Alabama are enthusiastic over prospects. After adjournment of the League a banquet was held at the State Normal School. Booker T. Washington was the principal speaker and gave valuable advice. During his address he said: "If you want to succeed as business men you must learn to stick to the common people. They are the backbone of the country." "The Negroes in the State of Alabama have this advantage as compared with members of our race in other parts of the country. Here in our State one hears very little discussion of the race problem, especially on the part of politicians and public men. It is very seldom that in any campaign, the race question is raised in a way to create bitterness and to disturb the friendly relations between the two races. This is a matter for great congratulation and satisfaction on the part of both Negroes and white people. "It is often true in the case of races, as it is with individuals, that they do not always appreciate the opportunities that are right about them until it is sometimes too late. Often the gold that a person is seeking after a thousand miles away is right at his feet—at his very door. I speak now to the leading colored men engaged in business and professions in Alabama in order that you may impart the same idea to the masses of our people "We are surrounded in Alabama by several blessings. In the first place, in the matter of common labor, no Negro who wants to keep busy need be idle a single day in Alabama. In other parts of the world, people find it difficult to find employment. In many cases, there is bodily suffering, because one cannot find work. We not only can find plenty of common labor in every part of Alabama, but in the field of skilled labor, the Negro has a rare chance in Alabama. There is scarcely any line of skilled labor where the Negro cannot work at his trade and receive a good wage for such work. How different is this condition as compared with portions of the North and West, where I have recently been, where the Negro is almost afraid even to apply for work at a trade. "I have recently been in a city in the West where the instructors were really afraid to teach Negroes a trade in a small industrial school." "Then, in addition to those opportunities, the Negro can buy property in practically every section of Alabama and he is protected in the use of that property. It is very seldom that one hears of any black man ever being disturbed in any part of Alabama in the rightful use of any property that belongs to him. If we add these advantages to the further advantage, and that is the one which brings this large body together—that the Negro can engage in any line of business, that he can have his own little dry goods store, his little grocery store, his restaurant his drug store, his bank and those establishments are not only patronized, when well kept, by the Negroes, but by the best white people in the community where they exist. "When one considers these advantages and compares our chances in this respect with the way, for example, that the Jews are treated in many parts of the world in the matter of labor, in the matter of owning property, and in the matter of commerce, in the professions—I repeat that we have a great future before us in Alabama and one which I hope every sensible man will take advantage of in the highest degree." Other speakers were Edutor O W Adams, J O Diffay, Vice-President of the Birmingham Penny Savings Bank, President J P Bond, Prof W B Paterson, Dr L L Burwell, Prof W H Dixon, Rev P S L Hutchins, Thomas J Jackson, Rev W R Pettit, Dr W I L Landerhale, Prof R B Hudson, J L Chisholm, J H Phillips, W L Jones, Jr, and others Poughkeepsie Pastor Surprised. Regular Correspondence of The Age. Poughkeepsie, N Y. March 1—The stewardesses board of the A M. E.

There are from forty to fifty congressional districts in the United States in which the Negro clearly holds the balance of power In this we are not referring to the South where the Negro vote is not counted to any extent, but to districts in the North and West as well as districts in the border states, such as Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri. We are constantly hearing from Negro voters in these districts. The question is constantly being asked how the Negro should cast his vote, whether for a Democratic member of Congress or for a Republican member of Congress. We have tried as best we could to counsel our people to stick by the Republican Party, we still are doing so, but the administration and its friends should understand that so far very little has been done for the Negro Mr. Taft ought not to be surprised if he finds unrest and lack of confidence existing among the masses of voters in these doubtful districts. The friends of the administration should not be surprised if a large part of the Negroes determine to cast their votes for Democratic candidates for Congress, just as the Negroes did in the city of Boston a few days ago when there was a contest between a Democrat and an Independent as well as a Republican. There is no question but that for the Negroes voting for Mr. Fitzgerald in Boston, the Independent candidate would have been elected. Of course the Republicans may gain enough districts in the South to counterbalance the loss of Republican districts in the North. Unless this should occur, we fear that the present unrest among Negro voters in doubtful districts in the North will result in turning the House of Representatives over to the Democrats. GENTLEMEN IN MISSISSIPPI. The most spectacular and significant political events in Mississippi in many years have come around the defeat of ex-Governor James K. Vardaman in his fight for the United States Senate The election of Leroy Percy, a friend of Roosevelt's, a conservative lawyer and planter, after a bitter deadlock on fifty-seven ballots and then only through the pooling of the four candidates against the firebrand Negro-hater records the highwater mark of the fight of the old Southern aristocracy to wrest political control from the poor whites. The farewell speech of Senator James Gordon, the famous Confederate, to whose place Mr. Percy succeeds, was one of the most broadminded and mollifying on sectional issues delivered by a Southern statesman since the Civil War. With the defeat of the cohorts of Vardaman will pass that blasting era of race strife and Negrophobia in Mississippi which has retarded its industry and advertised it as a Negro entitlement. With the success of the cause of Percy there will come into power the able and constructive gentlemen of Mississippi. That there are such in that most Southern of Southern states is a fact that has been obscured by the wild rantings of demagogues of the ilk of Vardaman, Hoke Smith and Jeff Davis. So completely have these states been within the cracker-white machines grasp that the candidate's only requisite qualification for office was a professed hatred for the black man. The louder and more bitter his hatred the greater his qualification and the more assured his success. In the aftermath of each recurring election the mucker whites have gone out on a rampage of Negro persecution pursuant to the pre-election pledges of the candidates to still further suppress the Negro. The doctrine of discord and sectional hatred preached in season and out of season has kept the state in a ferment of excitement. Industry has lagged and unrest has been chronic. With the supremacy of the older and conservative class, the state will gradually resume its normal progress. They are the ancient and warm friends of the Negro. They love him and believe in his development. The Negro will be encouraged and al- lowed to work. The poor white man will also be encouraged but made to respect the law. The successful battle which the gentlemen of Mississippi have w ged against its muckers presages a brighter day for the Negro, Mississippi and the Southland. THE ITALIAN EXPERIMENT. THE ITALIAN EXPERIMENT. The experiment has been tried in many sections of the South of supplanting the Negro with foreign and especially Italian labor. Unusual inducements have been offered the latter both by the authorities and large planters in such states as Louisiana and Arkansas. They have gone there in few numbers but wherever they went their coming was hailed with delight throughout the countryside. The natives saw visions at once of an end of their labor troubles. The services of the Negro could be immediately dispensed with. Without compunction of conscience they would drive the Negroes from the community and all would be happy ever afterwards. But the experiments in nearly every case have worked, if at all, badly. Louisiana now has an Italian race problem on her hands where the school children of the despised labor class have been separated from the native white children. Italian laborers throughout the South on railroad and plantation, unused and unwilling to stand the Southern labor yoke, have turned against their employers and bloodshed has resulted. Everywhere they have refused to colonize, and to be tried to the land. The South in dismay at the failure of her costly experiments now charges the Italians with ingratiate. Col John M Grace, one of the largest planters in Arkansas, has again turned to Negro labor with the following to say in behalf of the Italians whom he went to Italy to secure: I am free to say after my long experience with them, that as a whole, they are a people who care nothing for their contracts and that they are money mad, with no thought but for the dollar. I have replaced a large majority of them with Negroes. Yet more generations must pass away before the Southern whites will have become weaned away from the Negro, before foreign labor can fit into her industrial condition Preparing for the Test The South in the meantime will have become more democratic. The Negro in the meantime will have laid firm hold on her land and the arts of industry. The Negro need not fear that era of competition now, but he must prepare now to face that struggle. It is coming. The South must to-day sink down her buckets where she is. None but the Negro will now do CINCINNATI'S DARK SIDE. Bitter indeed is that indictment of American democracy in general and Cincinnati in particular which Frank W Quillan makes in the last number of The Independent. His bare recital of facts is a thrilling and sorrowful condemnation of that Northern and Ohio town from which comes the President of the United States. The picture is entirely dark which the writer draws. There is no public school in the city where the Negro may equip himself for the medical profession and there is no hospital where the Negro doctor may practice. His sick are debarred from all hospital's save two small charity concerns and though he is taxed to support it he is received with reluctance into the separate wards of the City Hospital. There are no Negroes employed in the health, fire and bath house departments Negroes cannot now bathe in the city baths and from the former his health and property receive scant consideration Parks, theatres, the hotels and even the Y M C A turn the Negro down. He can neither rent nor buy a house in a decent section without paying an exorbitant price. But more galling than all of these, the colored man is hampered on every side by race prejudice in earning a living. He can do no skilled labor because the unions will not let him. He can join the hod carriers' union only because there are not enough white men to do the work. There are two classes of men in Cincinnati responsible for this disgraceful condition, the Negroes and the officials. There are more than twenty thousand Negroes there. The Mavor of Cincinnati is Republican and the solid black vote helped to put him there. The consideration in official positions and in places of public accommodation which the Negro gets is up to himself. The Negro should vote for his friends who ever they are. Ohio law amply protects him and he should not fail to use it when discriminated against. Furthermore, these conditions are a reproach to every public spirited white man in Cincinnati. The Negroes of Cincinnati should or organize commercially, industrially and politically. They should themselves strike the blow for freedom from their humiliations and they will be heard. Two thousand newshoys of Greater New York dined royally on turkey and the "trimmings" on Washington's Birthday at the Newsboys' Lodging House through the generosity of Mrs. Randolph Guggenheimer. The American newsboy may not only have a presidential future, but is having a kingly present as well. THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE. In the investigation now being carried on by the Rockefeller grand jury into the white slave trade, we trust that the Negroes of this city will lend every help possible. We are glad of the assistance Mrs. Ross, the widely known prison worker, has been in exposing dens of vice and infamy. The Negro panderers and procurers in this city are enemies to the race, more hostile to its best interests and more insidious in its injury than the most prejudiced Negro haters of the South. Their abuse and hatred cannot mar the character, nor stay the ultimate progress of the race. They can asperse only the present reputation of the Negro. But that man who defies the source of the future generations, who corrupts the women of the race, degrades the race for all time to come. He blackens the race's present generation and kills its future. That man who defends or shields these vilest of all race criminals is no friend to the Negro. We have received many inquiries from various parts of the country asking for information as to girls supposed to be employed in New York. Mothers and fathers are wondering if their daughters here in the great metropolis have been caught in the meshes of sin. We have not been able to do more than to promise them we are going to help in every way we can to save all the daughters of the race. We want to see every lazy, degraded despoiler of the race locked up or driven from the city. We trust that all race-loving Negroes who can will lend their moral and where possible their active support to this end. THE RETIRING RECORDER. THE RETIRING RECORDER. In the, retirement of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia John C Dancy, to make way for Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia, the race loses from public position one of its most able and representative men. Few political leaders have been more conservative and none have been more faithful and devoted to the interests on the race. Mr. Dancy has served a total of a score of years in the government service as collector of customs at the port of Wilmington, and since the Wilmington root as Recorder of Deeds. He has been a wheelhorse in party campaigns and rendered notably effective service in the Taft campaign. He is an orator of high rank. He is one of the race's leading churchmen. Mr. Johnson is a comparatively young lawyer, of sound judgment, good ability and eloquent speech, and should fill the place with credit to himself and race. WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITH- WAITE. William Stanley Braithwate of Boston, the poet premiere of the Negro race since the death of Dumbar, s rapidly forging to the fore in the literary word. The last issue of the Literary Digest devotes an entire page to Mr Braithwate's criticism of the "distinctive" poems of 1909. The great journal of letters and art accepts his refutation of the widely prevalent belief that the poetry and the audience of to-day is minor and that the poets are all minor. "If this is the fact," the Digest says, "then the large public are neglecting the riches set before them, for Mr William Stanley Braithwate finds that in six leading American magazines there appear during a total of 317 poems and no less than 82 of these terms 'distinctive.'" We have often wished that this prolific Negro bard might tune his lyre to sing the great American epic. Rich are the resources in the historic life and liberation of the American black man for a poem no less heroic than the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer. Certainly here are elements for an American epic superior to those in Longfellow's Evangeline. Lured from the sunny shores of Africa, brought captive by a hostile race to a hostile zone, chained to drudgery for centuries and finally freed by the exigencies of civil war, in which he himself plays an heroic role; then turned out to face a freedom of competition and persisting and progressing through it all, these are the component parts of one of the great race tragedies of all time. We know of none more able to do this great task than the industrious, sweet singer of New England EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS Vardaman got it in the neck, Tillman's got it in his throat, and the American public can breathe easily. --- The Negroes of this country want to know whether with the plums beginning to fall the lemons will cease to fall Mamma (as she hears the thunder)—"The winter's back is broken." Johnny—"Mamma, how many backs has winter? You said that same blooming thing last year" Old Dr. Cook and old Dr. Bryan met in the same town in Chill, and then left for Argentina.

For the life of us we can't see Mr. Platt in any respect other than modern. The past winter in Cuba, so a recent letter states, has been the coldest experienced there by the oldest Cubanos. But there have been some hot spells in Havana recently. There are those who will say that owing to the faithful service John C. Dancy has rendered his party for a quarter of a century that he should have been reappointed, and then there are those who will say that he has done enough for his country Roosevelt breaking the hunter's record by killing the great number of African beasts and birds gains a firmer hold on the claim of a man of destiny. The unwritten law has been that an American president shall hold office for two terms, but what about the man of destiny? To the Editor of The New York Age. Persoius who feel competent to give expression to their ideas upon questions of any character whatsoever usually ascertain all of the facts bearing upon the subject they are discussing before recourse to public print. In your issue of February 24 two correspondents took it upon themselves to discourse upon the ethics of Christianity as bearing upon several of the most natural and wholesome amusements of life. It cannot be denied that dancing and similar amusements are endorsed and practiced by the cultured, civilized correspondents should realize that those religious denominations which put a ban upon card playing, dancing, etc. comprise but a very small portion of the Christian world, and it seems absurd and is positively useless for the minority to condemn the large maniacal beliefs and training do not find cause for harm in the enjoyment of the amusements in question. There is the same phartisical spirit which prompted the ancient Jews to complain of the Saviour and call Him "the Lord of the earth," because of His "resting and drinking," which may be liberally interpreted to mean, His conforming to the social forms and customs of His time and Country. The foundation principles of Christianity are good will. Your Christian correspondents should cultivate the same spirit, also the sinner standing afar off will say, "How those Christians love one-another." HARRY A. WILLIAMSON. Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 26, 1910 African Criticises Laymen's Mission ary Movement. To the Editor of The New York Age The Laymen's Missionary Movement loses its strength when applied to Africa. Because of the—as I call it—COLOR SCHEME attached to the Christianity taught by the white races. Thou shalt not make unto thyself any graven image, is not obeyed by the races of Christ. As taught, Christ is the only begotten son of God. He is represented, in the white man graven image as belonging to the white race. As taught, man is His (Christ) as elder brother. With the color idea as it is, can one reach any other companion of the white races of the white races in their teachings of the Christian religion to impress their nearness—and as such, their superiority over the races of the earth not having the color or belonging to the race, one of which the only companion of the white race. Why not not put away the 'graven image' and instead of it teach the true SPIRIT OF CHRIST. Dr Blydon says, for the African to accept Christ He must be made an African. Will the white man accept an black man? Will the black man accept an white Christ? ORUNGA KA SCIPIO Washington D. C. Feb. 28, 1910 Negro a Good Soldier The contentions that have arisen over the Brownville affair may have created in many persons minds a prejudice against the Negro soldier as such, which a calmer review of his record in the Civil War and in Cuba and the Philippines would correct. But the City Council of Spokane has just passed resolution thanking the 22nd United States Infantry, which is stationed there, for "their soldierly bearing and correct department, their sympathy and moral support in the maintenance of good order and their constant example of orderly, lawabiding, and gentlemanly conduct at all times" Seattle has just passed through a fierce light for law enforcement and administration of property and found it very consoling to fall back upon the forces of law and order which these Negro soldiers symbolized — Boston Herald In every organization there are some people who are like the "p" in pneumonia—utterly useless, and yet sure to make bad spell for the rest; they are in a hurry to join the Army.

THE CURSE OF THE SOUTH Charlotte Observer Says Distr chisement and Mobs Blot Southern Progress. In Georgia the other day a Negro preacher was burned alive at the stake for killing a white man. He had not killed with malice or premeditation but because the white man, in an amoral tombite, crowded his wagon team so solently and dangerously. There seems to be no question about the man facts. If the white man had killed the Negro under similar circumstances he would never have been indicted or mlaested in any way. If he had killed another white man he would probably have been tried as a matter of form-though it is conceivable that some hitch might occur if the slayer was friendless and the deceased influential. If the Negro had killed another Negro he would probably have been sent to recruit the convict camp on general principles. What took place when the Negro killed a white man the story shows. We most gladly recognize the as an extreme case of mob savages but beyond question unwritten law in the South at large forbids a Negro kill a white man under well high and circumstances conceivable. At Bamberg, S C, some days ago a Negro was tried for killing W B Causey, clerk of the court of Hampton county. It appears that Cause and two other men had gone to the Negro's house for an immoral punishment. Their first step was to get him out of the way. He, one-legged and malaise in one hand, made such resistance he could, but they dragged him out and began beating him severely. Then he fired, with fatal result. This was a story told, not only by the Negro, but by Causey himself, in a dying statement. Causey expressed the hope that the Negro would go unpunished. The only conflicting testimony came from one of Causey's companions, who presumably in an effort to save his life if not his reputation, swore that the shooting was unprovoked. As the fate of a trial shows, the Negro escaped lynching. He was not even legacied, for the jury recommends mercy and he got off with life imprisonment. But if three Negroes had behaved at the very humblest or most unfortunate white man's home, those three white men did at a Negro's house that he beaten in precisely the time it took him down and catch them. Not long ago we remarked upon the case of four white men who beat a harmless Negro boy until he seemed to be dying and then finished him with a platoi shot. They were acquitted. We touch for the first time upon another case. Three white men who assaulted their boss and cut to death a Negro youth whom of stealing a calf. It occurred to them afterward that the annoyance of trial and acquittal, otherwise probable could be safely avoided by a very simple device. They procured a rope and strung up the body. Thus the murder attained the dignity of a lynching and was protected by the unlawful land—it would hardly be amiss to say by the new common law. Law Degrades Whites. It has been urged, as an objection to the disfranchisement of amendments or as an argument for compulsory education along with them that by exempting all whites from the educational qualifications pressure is placed upon New Yorkers to enlist whites are given to remain content with illiteracy. This contention deserves much weight; on account of it The Observer has expressed satisfaction that broader white boys coming of age in North Carolina will be more likely to be compelled by conviction. But really more serious is the pressure which one-sided enforcement of law places upon the Negro to behave properly while it encourages crime in the white man South Carolina whites though ordinary men than to commit, even much the actual number of homicides. We can no definite information on this point for other Southern States, but would not be surprised to learn that still conditions prevail in any or all Clerk districts and lack of restraint upon lawless men cannot continue indefinitely without causing important results when ever they may obtain Southern Degradation Increasing. The South suffers to-day from habilis which originated with the re-creation era and have grown worse instead of dying out since, many years ago, the last excuse for them is variable. At times there are similar misuses of the re-creation era—largely, a consequence of the South. The white man is in danger of letting his relation with the New Orleans tallize him, already those relations have caused him to replace his ancestors' profound reverence for law with almost incredible lawlessness. First of all he should so eliminate the jury packing features, etc. from his books as to render criminal law less particular, should seek the repeal legislation whose existence and whose use must discredit upon their honorable profession. Against lawlessness and racial injustice every citizen who be lieves in the moral government of the universe should let himself. Things like those which we have just been saying are bitterly unpleasant for our society to impose. The course which blots and hurts the bright face of Southern progress must be fought to its bitter end—The Charlotte Observer. --- ACE PREJUDICE IN CINCINNATI, O. Wholesale Discriminations Said to Exist in That City COLOR LINE EVERYWHERE Whites and Blacks Even Separated in Workhouse and Reformatories—Oppose Colored Y.M.C.A. The subject in Cincinnati is the subject in interesting article appearing in the issue of the New York Independent which was written by Frank W. Quillan Race prejudice seems to be generally prevalent in the second largest city in Ohio. In fact, as much so as in many of the Southern cities. Cincinnati is a Republican city. Following is the article in part. The object of the writer of this article is to bring the two classes together on a common plane, to submit facts as to conditions, and let each reader draw his own conclusions. "While conditions vary in different cities, the following facts about the situation in Cincinnati are, in a broad way, typical of all the cities of Ohio, the nearest to an exception probably being Cleveland In the first place, no colored man is allowed to enroll in the Ohio Medical College, which is a branch of the University of Cincinnati, a public institution of higher education. In fact, there is no school in the city where he is privileged to equip himself for the medical profession. If he leaves the city and secures his training elsewhere and then comes back again, he is not allowed to be closed. The colored doctor, no matter what his training has been or what his ability and standing may be, is not allowed to operate in the large city hospital, a public institution maintained by taxation to which the city has paid. He is debarred from the Seton Hospital, on West Sixth street and, in fact, from all hospitals save two small charity concerns. Colored people, received with reluctance into separate wards in the city, are the principal of having a physician of their own race attend them. "Recently there came up the question of having colored men in the health department, and the board of Public Service, which, of course, is made up of white men, and that it would be unwise as the colored sanitary officer would be compelled to call at the houses of white men during the latter's absence and their wives would be made subject to insult in trying to accept orders of a colored man." There is not a Negro to be found in the city fire department which employs hundreds of men, all, of course, paid out of public taxation. The reason for the compulsionemen will not work with them, so they would be compelled to eat and sleep alongside of them under the press manner of conducting the department. The officers controlling the Municipal Bath House now forbid all colored people to bathe there. The privilege was granted for a short time recently under Democratic administration, but the house became practically a colored institution so quick that the reform legislature had to force the Negroes Excluded from Public Parks "All the popular parks such as Chester, The Lagoon and Coney Island, exclude the Negroes. Some of them have colored people are allowed to pass the colored people are allowed to pass the sacred portals which are forbidden them the rest of the year. Some Negroes are employed as wonders and porters at Coney Island leading porters. These are compelled to ride on the dock of the steamboat going and coming Freight Elevator at Sinton Hall. Hotel where Mr spain headquarters, in the welcome area in the room he is, if he dwelve man on one of the must take the freight compartment of Crow compartment, it in their Co refuses to sell people going South. They will offer to offer to put in living room, which costs more than they can afford to pay, and which if occupied would segregate them from the whites. Trains pulling out of Cinchnatt for the South have their Jim Crow coaches, into which the colored people are asked to go. If they do not go willing they are compelled to leave the city, right to the Kentucky side of the Ohio River. The Ohio Mechanics Institute, probably the largest school of its kind in Ohio, has recently decided to deny them admission Charitable Institutions Discrimination In the Children's Home, on Ninth street, another large public institution, colored children are permitted to stay, but twenty-four hours after which they must leave, the Automobile Club of America has decided to give orphans of cities in which there are branches of the association a free trip to the country annually. The Cincinnati branch two years forgot (2) the colored children. Last year, after a very public discussion of the matter, it was decided not to afford colored chauffeurs to draw them out, so they could not take them. The剧院 universally exclude the Negro, or at the best give him a gallery seat, and that possibly at an advanced price. The large city workhouse, reformatories, city and county prisons, and hospitals, separate white black as much as they possibly can. "The Negro can neither rent nor buy a house in a decent section of the city without paying an exorbitant price. If he does succeed in buying a desirable piece of property, his white neighbors will get him out of it. Sometimes they even threaten his life, but more often they buy him out, generally paying him considerably more than the property cost him. This is expensive for the white man, but he maintains his property. The Negro can afford the advantage of this pride to better their financial condition and many more would be doing the same if they had the capital. The following extract from a conversation with a colored preacher of the suburbs of Cincinnati illustrates the little difference methods: "If I had a little money saved, I would make the white folks pay for their prejudice. I would have some 'pour white trash' buy a lot in a fashionable neighborhood for me and then I would declare my ownership and then I would make my ownership mediate. I would get many offers to buy and when I could sell at a good profit I would let it go, and then I would buy another place, and so continue. I could make a fine living in far better than I can in the ministers' but I haven't the money) to start with." "In St James place, a fashionable residence district of Cincinnati, there lives a colored man of much prominence, being connected with the Southern Freedman's Ald Society and the Methodist Book Concern. The white neighbors have offered him big inducements to sell, but he not being of the color, he has refused all overtures and insists upon his rights. But all of these prejudices, galling as they might be and would be to any white man, are small ones in comparison to one other. That other is the one that strikes at the law of self-importance of the basic principles of our life, namely, that every man should be permitted to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow working in that pursuits best adapted to his ability. The colored man in earning his living is hampered on every side by race prejudice. The white man is not able to work with him and will not have him, and their members will not work by the side of him. The result of this is that he is practically debarred from all mechanical parents requiring skill. He can join the焊辅 union only and this is due to the fact that not enough work is available for the焊辅 union the painters the carpenters the luthers the plumbers the barbers the bartenders the printers the unions and many others deny him admission. The white man cannot employ them in any skilled people prepared to do the work to do it alone and the result is that no matter how much the white employer himself is free from prejudice, he generally speaking refuse to employ the colored man in any skilled capacity. Many colored men who had come from the South told the writer that there was no such condition as this existing in the South, that if a colored man had a cap and a frying pan other skilled work he was as freely employed it as the whites as the white tradesmen they were. Provides the former trained from skilled labor that they are not employed as stenographers, took pictures, or other in any way, and that they are not employed in the police schools or are employed as clerks in storage or factories. The post office work is open to them because of its being under still water rules and we find them generally in the line in the Chicago Post office. There are twelve employed as glories and twentieth as carriers making a total of forty out of a grand total of sixty hundred employees about forty which is the proportion of labor employed in the total population. In the police department there are twelve colored petroleum out of a total of six hundred and ten which is one-half their quota according to population. They get these places as pollenmen from the colored vote. The learned professions, the law, the ministry and medicine are open to them but the few who are brave enough to attempt those finds that they are not. The people of course will the white people of course will not employ them and struggle to say their colored brothers are almost as much against them but for different reasons, one of which is jealousy. In very strong words the writer told the writer during the summer and the other is lack of confidence. They will not respect the advice of another but will take the white man's every time having learned during their days of slavery to look on the word of the white man on law.

True, the particular individual enjoying the spotlight wore evenmg dress and pos all the evidences of suavity and gongeniahty, vet there are two well Imown young colored men in New York Gtty who class him as the equal of the Beef Trust for nerve and effrontery As the story goes, the young mea pur- chased tickets to attend the opening per- formance of the play, “Just a Wife,” at the Belasco Theatre some evenings ago Because the box office was turning peo- ple away with the information All sold ‘out!” the young men in question made a deal with one of the many ticket gpeculators who was doing a “land of- fice business,” the consideration involved being $6 for’ two tuckets for seats in the first balcony The ebony first-nighters were anxious- ly waiting for the show to begin, and had been comfortably seated for a litle more than five minutes, when an usher politely furnished the information that the house manager desired to see them downstairs The request, while consid- ered unusual, was made in such an agreeable manner that no thought of un fair treatment entered their minds. Upon reaching the foyer they were ‘approached by the house manager, who met them with a captivating smile and in swect and mellow tones asked if they had any objections to showing their ‘coupons. Being impressed with the polite and lamb-hike attitude of the manager, they readily turned over the little preces of cardboard. ‘Took Thetr Tickets Away. As soon as the coupons were in his Possession, the manager called a man standing nearby and asked if they be- Joaged to him. Without looking at them the man nodded in the affirmative, and the coupons were immediately given to kim, whereupon he wended his way to the first balcony, accompamed by a fe male companion, thereby getting two ood seats without paymg a cent. ‘The young colored men demanded to mow why they had been treated so dis- courteously, and were told that they had Bought the tickets of a speculator and therefore were nat entitled to them. Peo- Ble coming in who had been seen to buy seats from speculators were pointed out, bat no attention was paid to their charges. : Not desiring to create a disturbance, the young men left the theatre without farther argument, agreeing to settle the affront along conservative lines. The next day a letter was written to David Belasco by one of the young men ac- quainting him with the disgraceful man- Ber_in which they had been treated. ‘The letter Dear Mr Belasco — On February 1 1 bought two tickets for the opening perform- ance of “Just a Wife,” which I ave to the door man who admit- ted_a friend and myself, and re- turned to me I in turn handed them to the usher, who seated me in the first balcony, row B, 11 and 18. We hed been ‘seated ‘a short time when the usher came and told me that the manager would Uke to see us downstairs. We both ent down, and your manager, Mr Smyth, greeted us cordially ‘and ‘faked to be shown the coupons. Not suspecting anything, 1 hand- ed them over Turning to a gen- tleman who was standing nearby, and displaying my coupon, he ask- 4 If theso wore his seats, and the gentleman replied that they were, whereupon he gave him the cou- pons. When I asked for some sort Of an explanation, he said that the tickets camo in my possession wrongtully, and I would have to get redress from other quarters. The curtain was about to be rung up and the lobby was full, and not caring to create any disturbance we took our departure and decided to make o dignified and manly protest to you. There can be no doubt of the In- Justice of the treatment wo bath Tecelved, and {t seemed ao con- trary to your policy towards your patrons. 1 have attended all tho theatres in Now York for years, ‘and [assure you, Sir, nover before have I been so humiliated or treat- ed 60 badly Whon I think of it now It renliy seems that your man- ager took an unfair advantage of us owing toa condition which wa had no control, and which ofttimes plays euch an important part in the lives of all aclf-respecting clt- izens. I have had all kinds of ad- vice in tha matter, but T havo re- frained from taking any steps until Tiald tho matter before you 1am of the opinion that you would treat us fairly If theatre managers can have their public buy tickets for thelr houses, and after they are admit- ted and sented, take them away from them, and pass them along to some ono ‘olse, It seams that the great oxpenae that they go to mak- {ng new productions Is quite wn- necessary; ail thoy neod do 1s ad- Vortlee some arent tar and get tho people tnalde. and the reat ts easy ‘Trusting that you will give thie eae re tiantn cetantian: 1 Senate siete Mie ties ached aiteRltut o a. more peuple adopted the same method of getting scats that evemng and were not disturbed: After hearing the story of the victims one 1s led to comlude that they were singled out and treated shabbily because of their color Colored Theatcegocrs should Find one “What's What.” A number of months ago James Met- calte, dramatic editor of Lite, declared an an article that the Nero citizens of New York City could make a lot of trouble for theatres that discriminated ‘un account uf color At the ume the dramatic editor uf ‘Ime Ace urged that colored theatregoers adopt a “happy me- dium" course and endeavor to secure their civil eights to which they are justly entitled It appears, however, that the theatres are getting bolder and are caring less for the rights of our colored cituens daily It 1s becoming somewhat difi- cult to believe that the tendency of the theatres to disregard the laws and draw the color ime will be checked by 4 dis play of passiveness. We will have to becume more positive in our saeeP and show the managers that we not only resent the indignities to which we are submitted, but will go further than en- gage in a wordy war and a noisy demon- stration, such methods seldom being pro- ductive ‘of effective and the desired re- sults Something must be done to impress some of the theatre managers that the Negro 1s an Amencan, has rights and intends to enjoy them It 18 not likely that the courts would so override justice as to hold that we as American citizens should be discrimimated against on ac- rount of color Ihere 1s a proper way to go about finding out “what's what,” which will have to be done sooner of later Such unfair treatment accorded the young col- ored men at the Belasco Theatre should be taken into the courts. An avalanche of suits brought against a theatre would soon wake up the various managers to the fact that the colored theatreguer has rights which must be respe-ted. 5 te e XN A A HASTON WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.

From the beginning this orchestra, the first Negro orchestra in the history of this city, has had to overcome a certain "sheeting doubt" as to their ability to exceed the expectations of all is apparent from the generous praise it is receiving. The various fraternal organizations and other societies here can, and we believe, that they will employ this orchestra as occasion arises. The orchestra is composed as follows. Piano, Mrs Hiram Johnson, violin, Hiram Johnson, violin, Spencer Shields, trombone, William Morgan, cornet, Mr Florentino and Mr Buckley, trap drums Arthur Ames is manager. Because of the fact that Dr Booker T Washington's stay in Syracuse will be very short, arrangements have been made so that he will speak at the South Congregational church at 7 46 o'clock on the evening of Monday, March 7, and at the Bethany Baptist church at about 9 o'clock on the same night. The jumor chor of the latter church will furnish the music for this occasion and Mrs L R Robinson will sing a solo. An informal reception to Dr Washington will be held in the church parlors and luncheon will be served by the ladies of the church after the speaking. Since this lecture is free, it will be necessary for those desiring seats to come much before 8 30 o'clock, because of the great number desirous of hearing our greatest race leader.

The program was the best rendered for some time. It is very evident from this entertainment that there is excellent talent in our city. The net proceeds were over $40. In the same church on the last Sabbath good congregations assembled to listen to addresses delivered by Rev Matthew Anderson, D. D. of Philadelphia. The Doctor was at his best and thoroughly edited his audiences. At the afternoon services the Rev Lewis Hicks made an address also, and enthused the audience with a recitation of the good work being done in our midst by The New Enterprise Realty Co. Special services were held on last Sabbath in the Calvary Baptist Church, at which Rev W H Batchellar and the choir of his church assisted. This bulwark is not weakened, though it experiences changes like other churches. It is, and ought to be, a strong church, and is possibly, under the present pastorate, in the best condition of its existence. Saratoga Church Celebrates Anniversary. Saratoga Springs, March 1.
