PARTY SPLIT IN MARYLAND Democrats Are Divided Over New Disfranchise- ment Plan MAY ACT AS BOOMERANG Conservatives Fear that Non-reg- istration of Negroes May De- feat Democracy in State WOULD FIGHT MEASURE Republicans to Carry Contest to United States Supreme Court in Event of Bills Being Enacted Littonore, Md., March 30—Mary- Democrats are split over the advance cost Friday evening in advance concurs by W Mitchell Lodge and others to seek to nullify the fourth Amendment of the Fed- court by the refusing the right to vote Democrats question the value of such a drastic step, and concern of the outcome, while the Democrats denounce in unmeasured the course adopted by the radica- tists At a meeting of the Democratic caus- sion Friday at Annapolis it was de- cided to permit the Negroes of Maryland to register for state or located in which has been done in the course of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution While the Republicans cannot hope to defeat the bill in the Legislature, they will carry the contest to the United States Supreme Court if neces- sary. In Attorney General Bonaparte and some of the other foremost always in the state will conduct the case The scheme is to have a new general registration next year Under the plan Negroes will not be permitted to register for state and city elections In Congressional and Presidential election years they will be allowed to register Separate lists will be made up, and there will probably also be a special Negro ballot for them to vote for Presidential Electors and Congressmen In the last state campaign the people of Maryland by a majority of more than fifteen thousand defeated a proposed amendment to the state constitution by which more than 60 per cent of the Negroes and a large percentage of the whites would have been deprived of their suffrage Seven years ago another amendment with the same object in view was rejected by a majority of more than thirty-three thousand Here is the new amendment which the Democratic party in the Legislature, under the leadership of State Senator Arthur P. Gorman, son of the late United States Senator Gorman, will pass this week for submission to the white voters next year, as the Negroes will not be permitted to vote on it All state and municipal elections shall be conducted by the system known as the Australian ballot system, and it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to provide by law for a form of ballot, uniform throughout the state, for use at all state elections in this state, and to provide that on said ballot, after the name of each candidate, who may have been duly nominated as the candidate of any political party or organization, there shall be printed the legal name of such party or organization. Equal representation of the minority party among the judges and clerks of elections, or other officers performing similar functions, shall not be abolished by the General Assembly, unless by a vote of four-fifths of all the members of each House. Not to Register Negroes at State or Municipal Elections. The General Assembly shall pass no law for the registration of Negroes at any state or municipal election in this state, but the right to register and to vote shall be forever confined to state male citizens of this state; and if any class of citizens other than male citizens shall be or become totally entitled to be registered as a state elections in this state, this section shall be null and the General Assembly shall assess the same powers as if this section had never been adopted, and the of this state, including the local publicable to certain counties relating to the form of ballot used in elections in force day of July in the year nine and ten shall receive and force until filtered by the Assembly notwithstanding the contrary which may pass while the terms of shall have been in force the General Assembly shall voted or assumed the provi- tions to be valid Directors Wilkinson, Zihlman, and Speicker, Republicans, THE NEW YORK AGE. THE MEMBERS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS UNION FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS predict that the enactment of this law will prove a boomorang and insure the defeat of the Democrats at the next election Mr. Wilkinson goes so far as to say that the election of a Republican Governor is now a certainty They contend that the Negro is the only asset left the Democrats, and with him eliminated thousands of members of that party who favor Republican principles will vote in the state as they have been voting in national elections. They base this assertion on the fact that Maryland has been gravitating toward the Republican party since 1896, and only for the Wilson trick ballot law would have given greater majorities for the Republican candidates for President. LEFT SMALL FORTUNE James C. Matthews of Albany Named Residuary Legatee of Estate of the Late Mary Birch Reid—Property Valued at Over $125,000. Special to The New York Agk. Albany, N Y, March 29—James C Matthews, a prominent Negro attorney of this city, has been named executor and residuary legatee of the estate of the late Mary Birch Reid The property is valued at over $125, 000.

Washington Defiers Principal Address to Over Two Thousand Persons at Jefferson Theatre. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Birmingham, Ala., March 29 —Over five hundred teachers attended the twenty-ninth annual session of the Alabama State Teachers' Association, held last week in this city Among those present were Dr. Booker T. Washington, State Superintendent of Education Harry C. Gunnels, Prof H T. Kealing, editor of the A M E Church Review, Prof. Charles H Albert, of Bloomfield, Pa.; Dr. J. H Dillard, president of the Jeanes Board, and W. T. B Williams, agent for the Slator Board. President J. R. E. Lee, of Tuskegee, presided. The association will meet in Huntsville next year. The principal address of the session was delivered by Dr. Booker T. Washington Friday evening at the Jefferson Theatre. Fully two thousand persons were present, five hundred of whom were white. Dr. Washington was introduced by Prof Patterson, principal of the State Normal School for Negroes at Montgomery Dr Washington said in part I wish to congratulate the Negro teachers, of Alabama upon having present here in the city of Birmingham at this annual meeting the largest number of teachers of the children of our race that has ever been gathered in one meeting in our State. I question whether there is any other State in the South that has an organization of this character that is so largely composed of teachers who are so much interested in their work, and are so determined to tell that many in their power is done to further the education of the Negro boys and girls of Alabama. The Negroes of Alabama have some special reason for gratitude. In our State the relations between the black people and white people are friendly. It is very seldom that we have racial conflicts and racial outbreaks of the character that so often disagree and hurt both races in our country. In Alabama both black people and white people understate in each other and are determined to together in friendship. It is often said that the Southern white man understands the Negro better than anybody else. While I will not question nor dispute this statement I wish to add also that the South rn Negro understands the Southern white man better than anybody else. Despite what sensational newspapers may say, and despite what political demagogues may express, when one goes into the local community of Alabama he finds that individual Negroes are the individual white man are closer than they are in any other portion of America or in any other part of the world outside of America that I have seen. When we get into Jefferson H. Long, M.C. of Georgia C. Joseph H. Raney, M.C. of South Carolina the local community we will find that every Negro has his white friend and every white man has his Negro friend. When the Negro gets into trouble he usually goes straight to his white friend and usually gets what he wants. Wherever in Alabama you find the Negro working at a trade, owning a store, conducting a drug establishment or a bank, you will find an individual Southern white man or a group of Southern white men who are ready to encourage, guide and assist, these colored people in their business enterprises. Education in Common Thing#. We want to see to it that education is made to concern itself with the common, ordinary things of life and not with the extraordinary things of life. I will guarantee to say that the average Negro child in Alabama bears more about the city of Pekin in China or the Desert of Sahara in Africa than that child does about the kind of pigs or the kind of cows or the kind of vegetables that will best grow in the community where that child is. I have seen many Negro girls who have learned in the school how to locate successfully on an artificia' globe the city of Calcutta or the Congo Free State, but who could not locate for the life of them on an actual dinner table the proper place for the meat and vegetables or the proper place for the carving knife or fork. Every family in Alabama has meals prepared and served three times a day. The average individual in Alabama buys a pair of (Continued on page 8.) ASSAULTED BY WHITE MAN Young Colored Girl, Recently from Virginia, Attacked by Charles Bowie in the Heart of Washington—Made a Prisoner by Police. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Washington, D. C, March 30.—Charles Bowie, white, 30 years old, formerly manager of a Fourteenth street store, is being held prisoner by the police authorities on the charge of assaulting Miss Cora Ricks, colored, 18 years old, 1620 Corcoran street. Miss Ricks, who came from Virginia a few weeks ago, wen, out walking with Benjamin Qualls, an employee of the National Museum. It was shortly after 10 o'clock when the couple reached the drug store at Fourteenth and R streets, and Qualls excused himself and went into the store to make a purchase. Bowie was standing on the east side of Fourteenth street. When Miss Ricks left Bowie followed her. She quickened her pace, when suddenly her pursuer grabbed her by the arm and attempted to drag her into a vacant house. She screamed and Bowie threatened her. Qualls in the meantime made his purchase, and stopped at Fourteenth and Corcoran streets to ask Sergeant Walsh and Bicycle Policeman Holmes if they had seen the girl. He said she was a stranger in the city, and feared she had lost her way. He had hardly finished speaking when a scream was heard in the direction of Fifteenth street Qualls and the two policemen ran through Corcoran street. As they neared the vacant house they saw a man struggling with the girl Qualls picked up a brick and threw it at the man, inflicting a deep wound in his head. The man ran and Holmes went after him, capturing him at Fifteenth and R streets. He was placed in the patrol wagon of the Eighth precinct and taken to the station house. Robt, Brown Elliott, M.C. of South Carolina LEADING CITIZENS WEEP AT FUNERAL Very Impressive Services at Burial of Fleet Porterfield HIGHLY RESPECTED BY ALL Aged Negro Who Was One of the Oldest Citizens of Charleston, W. Va., Lifelong Friend of Senator Kenna. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Charleston, W. Va., March 29—High tribute was paid the late Fleet Porterheld by the leading citizens of this city last week. The funeral, which was held from the Colored Baptist Church, was very impressive Edward and John Kenna, two prominent white citizens and life-long friends of the deceased, wept as if they had lost their most intimate relative. Among the leading citizens of Charleston present were ex-Gov. W. A. MacCorkle, Judge A. D. M. McCorkle, ex-Secretary of State W. E. Chilton, and Democratic leader of West Virginia; ex-Senator Walter Ashby, Maj. Joseph E. Chilton and Judge M. C. McWhorter Fleet Porterfield was one of the old and highly respected citizens of Charleston. He was born July 4, 1845, and died March 19, 1910, at the General Hospital He enjoyed an intimate acquaintance and friendship with many of the leading white citizens of Charleston, and was a lifelong friend of United States Senator John E. Kenna. The two became inseparable an dtraveled over the various sections of the country on hunting trips The deceased owned valuable real estate holdings in Charleston and was in good financial circumstances Bettie Porterfield, wife of the deceased, died only a short time ago. Funeral services were held over the remains under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity Rev. Strother spoke of the many qualities of the deceased that had endeared him to hundreds in Charleston In an editorial on "Fleet Porterfield," in the issue of March 22, the Charleston Gazette said Saturday evening there died at the Charleston (General Hospital) a colored man who left behind him the kind of reputation that many men strive for with all the power at their command and then fail to acquire. Fleet Porterfield left a host of friends among both the white and the black races who mourn him sincerely. He left a reputation for honesty and integrity as good as any mortal man could leave. His word was absolutely inviolate. This man would not lie to assist in the playing of the game nor would he to whom truth was more sacred. The memory of Fleet Porterfield will be cherished by many people and were he of the kind of men to whom monuments were built, inscribed upon the shaft that marked his resting place might be written the proud inscription "Here lies one who worshipped truth." On the following day the Gazette published another editorial as follows: the crowd that turned out to the funeral of Fleet Porterfield and the mass of flowers that decked this man's grave is a greater tribute to the possibilities of the Negro race than any speech or any editorial. The honor, integrity and faith of Fleet Porterfield made every one who knew him forget color and race in his respect for the man. The men of the colored race who heard the day, preached by one of their own race, will do well to heed the advice given them, that they strive to emulate the example of the dead man. They will seek far to find a better example than in this man, look they in what race or rank they will.

Special to THE NEW YORK ADR. Atlantic City, N. J., March 29. Over two hundred thousand persons took advantage of the beautiful weather and participated in the annual Boardwalk parade at Atlantic City Easter. The day was ideal for the dress paraders and pictoral display was well worth going miles to see. It was one of the best dressed throngs ever seen on the Boardwalk, and all the latest creations were in evidence. The chantecler hat attracted the most attention. New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore were well represented, and the Poole House, Hotel Rudley, Virginia Cottage, De Leon Cottage and other hotels were crowded with visitors. Among those noticed on the Boardwalk were Mrs Philip Payton, Mrs. Mattie Blake, Miss Jones and Sterritt, Mr. and Mrs. P.

WOULD CUT REPRESENTATION If Maryland Legislature Seeks to Disfranchise Negro Voters Action Will Be Taken at Washington to Reduce Number of Congressmen From That State—Congressman Crumpacker Makes Statement. Special to THE NEW YORK AGN. Washington, D. C., March 30. Maryland's representation in Congress is to be cut if the Legislature of that State attempts to disfranchise the Negro voters under the plea that Maryland did not ratify the Fifteenth Amendment. Representative Crumpacker of Indiana, chairman of the committee on the census, stands ready to present and push a bill proposing the reduction at that moment the Democrats carry their threat to fulfillment. "If the disfranchisement said to be contemplated by the Democrats of the Maryland Legislature be held valid by the courts," said Mr. Crumpacker, "Maryland, of course, could not object to enforcement of the constitutional provision requiring reduction of representation in Congress proportionate to the disfranchised vote. "I will offer the bill in the House to do it, if any such plan is attempted to be carried out." Mr. Crumpacker, it will be remembered, was the mover of legislation to reduce southern representation upon similar grounds when the basis of apportionment was changed after the last census. The movement had strong backing at that time, but was dropped for political reasons. Sentiment in favor of such action has been strong in Congress for years, but has deferred to political and other considerations from time to time. It it said that, in the face of such flagrant action contemplated by the Maryland Democrats, there would be immediate revival of the propaganda for application of the legislation at least to the offending State, if not to other Southern States where the Negro vote is notoriously abridged On Basis of Next Census The census about to be taken will collate the Negro vote and population, and would enable adjustment of the Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS "AID LIBERIA" SAYS PRESIDENT Taft Sends Special Message to Congress on Behalf of Republic Secretary of State Knox Makes Known Conclusions of Commission About Liberia CHARGES AGAINST POWERS Great Britain, Germany and France Said to Have Been Encroaching—Integrity of Country Menaced. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Washington, D. C., March 29—President Taft has sent a special message to Congress urging aid for Liberia. The message was sent in conjunction with the report of the Liberian Commission which visited Africa in the interest of the United States some months ago. The message approves the recommendations of the Commission with reference to the United States coming to the rescue of the little republic, which is on the verge of dissolution, being pressed by France, Germany and Great Britain on the other. Secretary Knox, in submitting the report of the Liberian Commission, has made public that tentative negotiations are now under way for a treaty with Liberia which will put into effect the following recommendations: 1. That the United States extends its aid to Liberia in the settlement of pending boundary disputes. 2. That the United States enable Liberia to refund its debt by granting as a guarantee for the payment of obligations under such an arrangement the control and collection of the Liberian customs. 3. That the United States lend its assistance in the reform of internal finances. 4. That the United States lend its aid in organizing and drilling an adequate constabulary or frontier police force. 5. That the United States establish a research station in Liberia. 6. That the United States reopen the question of establishing a naval coaling station in Liberia. Report Favorable. The Commission reports that "it was the conviction of the Commission and their associates that the Liberations had influenced the native population by which they were surrounded far more than the natives had influenced them. In the presence of that great mass of uncivilized people they have maintained a relatively high degree of civilization, of which the well-ordered home, the maintenance of law and order, the quiet Sunday rest and the well-attended houses of worship are conspicuous signs." The report gives an extended account of the methods followed by Great Britain and France in encroaching upon and seizing Liberian territory under pretense of proffering aid. It also refers to treaties negotiated "at the cannon's mouth," in which Liberia was forced to sacrifice her interests. It points out that owing to the interests of Great Britain and France in that portion of the world they are not in a position to give disinfeited assistance. Neither can Germany be counted upon to give assistance without arousing the suspicion of the two former countries. It is, therefore, for the United States alone to come to the rescue of the republic. "Liberia is thus confronted by the fact," the report says, "that she cannot, without serious danger, call to her aid either Great Britain, France or Germany. Two of these powers she deeply distrusts and each of them distrusts the other two. None of them could guide and direct the need ed reforms in Liberian administration without great friction, which would threaten the outcome of the proposed action and leave Liberia in a more precarious situation than before. "The logic of the situation in the munds of the Liberians points, therefore, to the United States as the only country which can give them effective aid. Of all Liberians's friends, she alone is open to no suspicions of ulterior designs upon Liberia and she alone can give assurances to Great Britain, Germany, and France that the legitimate interests of those countries in Liberia, whatever the ymay be will not be placed in jeopardy by her actions." Special Baster services with Rev. Dr.-Alexander, pastor, in charge last Sunday. Large congregations were present at both services. A special and excellent musical program under the direction of Organist Wm. A. White was rendered. Timothy Baptist Church Timothy Baptist Church had a joyous time all day Sunday. The worshippers fairly made her walls ring with song and praise. The preaching services morning and evening were excellent. Rev. J. H. Newkirk's sermon at 8 p. m. on "The Risen Light" was splendid. The collection was very good. Baster Church Elections. Following are the results of the Easter elections in some of the Protestant Episcopal churches hereabouts: St. Philip's Church, West 25th street—Wardens, Wm. H. Smith and Francis H. Carmand; vestrymen, Theodore A. Morne, Charles D. Pedro, Thomas Dyer, W. H. Smith, Jr. C. M. Moton, Wm. A. Henliger, J. Eugene Mars and T. A. Knight. St. Augustine's Church, Brooklyn—Wardens, Chas. H. Lansing, Charles E. Moore; vestrymen, Edward F. Hall, Frank Gerard, G. W. Coward, Vernor C. Murray, S. Louis Smith, Jas. Phillips, Conrad Rallick and Thos. N. King. St. David's, Bronx; The Lenten services at St. David's have been especially interesting. A number of special preachers have taken the services on Sundays and Wednesday. On Easter Day the church was filled to the doors both morning and evening. The rector, Rev. E. G. Clifton, preached both morning and evening. There was an early celebration of the Holy Communion at 8 a. m., and again at the 11 o'clock service. The rector was the celebrant. The church was very prettily decorated with palms and illies, and special music was provided for the occasion Easter at Mother -ion. Mother Zion held grand Easter services on last Sunday and a new epoch was created in the history of the old mother church. The decorations and the music were splendid, the sermons were stirring, and the attendance was overflowing. Rev. Holden made some impassioned pleas, and as a result 28 members were added to the church and there was great rejoicing among the members and friends. Mme Johnson and the choir earned for themselves many praises for the inspiring music rendered. Mr. Johnson as cornetist, Mr. Van Dyke as violinist and Mr. Russell with the clarinet contributed no little to the success of the day. Mme. Setigee, Mrs. Ethel Calloway Fearing, Mrs. Lillian Tuckett and Mrs. Badie Chase Jackson as soloists were in splendid voice and sang very well indeed. Mr Juliette also sang well. The Sunday School held long and elaborate exercises under the direction of Mrs Jackson and Miss Alice Rose, children acquitted themselves creditably. Douglass Day was observed by the J. C. Price Lyceum with G. Washington Butts in charge. Miss Lella Robinson and Mrs. Bessie J. Brooks contributed two meritorious numbers. John J. T. Jackson spoke reminiscently of the days when he knew Mr. Douglass, having at several times occupied the same-beh. Ideut W. R. Davis delivered a foreline address on the Life of the Rev. Joseph Douglass," and the end of the meeting was tended a rising vote of thanks. In the absence of Editor Nelle Caldwell, Miss Minnie Parras read the J. C. Price Weekly. There was also an interesting program rendered by the Varick Christian Endeavor Society, in which Mr. Eato took an important part. Missionary Secretary at Bethel. Bethel Church was beautifully decorated on Sunday for the Easter service, and the choir was assisted by orchestral music throughout the day. The Sunday School rendered a musical and literary program. Rev W. W. Beckett, the missionary secretary, prescheduled in the morning to a congregation which filled every seat in the main auditorium and the galleries also were filled. In the morning a baptismal font in memory of Miss Martha Cotton was presented by the stewardesses and dedicated by Dr. Ransom. The fontain is of solid marble, standing over three feet high and about a foot in diameter. Eleven persons were baptized at the morning service. At night the pastor, Rev. Dr. Ransom, preached to St. David's Consistory. At the evening hour the crowd was so great that the people were turned from the door by the scores. The bookcase of missionary work was $252. Bishop Gus Chapman opened and worshipped with us in the evening and made brief remarks. Rev. Ransom will preach next Sunday both morning and night. Easter at Abyssinian Hundreds were turned away from both services, and in the evening before 7 o'clock, half an hour before time to begin the service, standing room was at a premium. Dr. Powell preached, as was expected, an able sermon in the morning on the "Valley of Dry Bones; or, The Three Resurrections," the first resurrection representing the Israelites from captivity, the second the soul from the grave of sin and transgression and the third the body at the final consummation. In the evening the pastor delivered a short but instructive sermon on baptism, at the conclusion of which thirty-five were baptised. In the morning service a Sunday School class of young men taught by Mrs. Anna Skarrett presented a very valuable Schofold reference Bible to Dr Powell, and at the close of the evening service a number of friends headed by Mrs. Julia O'Hagan and Mrs. Emma Dixon presented him with a purse of $40 It was the consensus of opinion that the choir never sang better and never rendered more pleasing, high-class selections. Mrs Lucy Nunson sang a hymn to Holy Offerings for the day were $440.00 By special request the pastor will preach Sunday evening on the "Doctrine of the Holy Spirit." To Represent Foreign Missions Board. Dr W. H. Brooks, pastor of the St Mark's M. F. Church, has been selected as a representative of the Board of Foreign Missions in the Synod Hall meetings to be held in Edinburgh from June 14-24, in conjunction with the World Missionary Conference.

Regular Correspondence of The Anz. Baltimore, Md., March 30—The twenty-fifth anniversary of the granting of the right to Negro lawyers to practice their profession in Maryland was celebrated last week. The first colored men to apply for the right to practice law in this city were James Mason, Boston, Maas, and Charles S. Taylor, now a resident of New York City. Their applications for admission were denied in the lower courts on the ground that the laws of Maryland only permitted white men to practice law. This decision was upheld by the Supreme Court of Maryland, the highest tribunal in the State. Through the efforts of Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, pastor of Union Baptist Church this city, another movement was launched for the decision. In April, 1885, the bar, and in March, 1885, the Supreme Court handed down a decision admitting colored lawyers. This decision was based on some late decisions made by United States courts interpreting the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Everett J. Waring, now a practicing lawyer in Philadelphia, was the first colored man to be admitted to the bar in Maryland, his application being vowedly passed upon October 1885. He colored lawyers now practiced there. C. G Fitzgerald, Harry S. Cummings, W. Ashleigh Hawkins, W. C. McCard, George W. F. McCormick, George M. Lane, Robert G. Brown, W. H. Daniel, Robert G.

NEWS FROM BOSTON Dr. Robinson's Beginner's Experience—Rev. Brow Passes. Regular Correspondence of The Ann. Boston, Mass., March 30—Dr. Benjamin E. Robinson, the enterprising and popular young physician of 106 Dartmouth street, bought a fine bay horse last week and a Standup horse turned out of the house to be loved by physicians in the city Dr Robinson is the only one just now who rides. His horse is a high stepper and fast. His first day's drive was somewhat of a thrilling experience for him. He didn't know the horse and the horse didn't know him. It way of introduction the horse was a breeze before any damage was done Later in the day, however, Dr. Robinson drove into a bicycle list and smashed his wheel into more pieces than there were spokes, the rider being thrown several feet into the air and falling into the rig with the doctor. As the man was not hurt he took the muzzle as a breeze and for a week's pay, and consigned his bicycle to the scrap heap. Rev William Burch, D. D. assistant pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, who died Sunday afternoon a week ago, was buried from that church last Thursday. The funeral sermon was held at the church, and a bison friend of the church, and a bison friend of Rev Burch. The church was filled and many could not get inside at all. The body was viewed at the church from 10 o'clock a.m. until 1 o'clock p.m., when the funeral services began. The case was closed, and the altar was covered with many floral designs sent by churches and friends. The rostrum was filled with brother ministers who assisted Rev Ward with the services. Rev Ward's subject was the recollection of Rev H. N. Carter read the scripture, prayer was offered by Rev S. J. Comfort, obituary was read by Rev M A N Shaw, an address was delivered by Rev H. N. Jeter of Newport, and a poem was read by Mrs. Jeter. The resolutions of Rev M. N. Miller were read by Rev W W Ryan of West Newton. Mrs Nana V Hunter and Miss Pascal sang solos.

Lombina, the apostolic delegate, the national and Archbishop Charles Ryan and Blenk, and Bishops Allen and belley have given official probation of a plan conceivable by father Burke, by which a fund of 100,000 who are raised every year for his activity. This was a personalledge made by Father Burke when he entered upon the third year as director, and the members of the hierarchy thought to well of it that an assistant was appointed, the Rev. D.

Father Burke will start anew next week, teaching in all the churches if the archdiocese of New York. Later he will be invited to Brooklyn and the dioceses in New York and New Jersey, comprising the eastern province of the Catholic Church. It is Father Burke's idea that the fund shall come this year from the young catholics of the country. And it is to them that he will make the special appeal. The general offices of the card are on the tenth floor of the metropolitan building, and from there pulpits of the country the vision work will be conducted. This is to be a year for our young people," Father Burke said. "The church has heard the cry of the Neighbors of this country, and an extraordinary effort is needed this year. I have pledged myself to raise this land, and I know our young people will show their seniors what they can do in an emergency. I am going to acknowledge every contribution to the land, however small. I am not looking for large sums. I am rather trying to establish an apostolate among the young men and young women, to make them my associates in this work." Federation President in Brooklyn. Several hundred friends of local club women turned out to greet Miss Elizabeth C Carter, president of the National Association of Colored Women, at the Concord Baptist Church on Monday evening.

Mrs Mary J Zeno, president of the Concord Women's Christian Temperance Union, presided. The dinner and social hour were enjoyed in the dining room of the church. Miss Carter told how she had spent her vacation in traveling in the interest of the work being done by club women, and of various incidents in connection with her trip across the continent last summer, visiting most of the States from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. Among other things she told how some of the clubs establish and mantain homes for orphans, homes for the aged and rest cottages. Miss Carter said, "Organized club work means so much to our people. I noticed the greatest progress among our people in Richmond, where they have several banks, stores, seventeen insurance offices, many steam laundries and other kinds of business enterprises. I was especially pleased to note that three women doing domestic service united and now own three beautiful houses. "Here in the North where we have so many advantages, many of our children go too early to work, and thus stop school before they finish. Unless we make more progress, friends, we shall be ashamed to say that we are from the North." Prominent among the special guests were Mrs Carter, Mrs. Frances R. Keyser, Mrs. Tema S. Ransom, Miss Fannie Perkins, Mrs. Helen Curtus M. C. C. Iwown, Mrs. Rachael Moore, Mrs. S. Gartet, Miss I. Moss H. C. Ray, M. A. Belle, Mrs. Lydia C. Smith, Mrs. M. S. Gale and many club women.

W. Gilbert to Star p strife and Oblige Enemies The members of Mount Olivet Baptist Church have taken exceptions to the article appearing in last week's issue of The Age relative to Fleming W Jackson scoring on their pastor, Dr M. W. Gilbert to suit growing out of a misunderstanding between Dr Gilbert and Mr Jackson In a letter to The Age the charge is made that erroneous statements were made in the article, which was written to stir up strife and oblige a few surreals and enemies The letter In your issue of March 24 there appeared a paid advertisement entitled "Fleming W Jackson Moore" In this advertisement it was stated that "Fleming W Jackson made the first touch-on the action which he has brought against Matthew W Gilbert." The only object of this paid advertisement was unquestionably to stir up the lagging seal of the poor thoughtless people who, to identify them, head and malignant enemies, have been furnishing the money for the foolish and useless suits that have been instituted against us from time to time. These people have been defeats in the courts, and something had to be published to make them believe that there was some possible chance of their winning on something. Gilbert has not been in court about his matter yet, and of course in the case of Fleming W. Jackson he has not slandered this span nor any else, and it would be well for Jackson's counsel not to try the case until the court calls in facts in the case are as follows: After the complaint of Jackson Between 9th and 8th Avenues Handsomely Furnished Rooms.

Our answer was held back until that particular motion was disposed of. The court saw fit not to grant our attorney's motion, and, as every one knows, when such motions are made and lost the loss of the court's authority by the cost, and any one but an arraign fool can readily see that this is no indication as to where the ultimate victory will be, for the issue has not yet been tried and may not be tried for two years. Dr. Gilbert himself has not yet appeared in court, and yet Fleming Jackson and his attorney can have his motion granted to have his motion granted a crumb of comfort, they are perfectly welcome to it. In the advertisement this statement occurs "This is a victory for Fleming W Jackson, and it is only a foretaste of what the case will be when it is finally tried." Pride goeth before a fall," and as those people have been led to believe from time to time that they would always win, and, as a rule, would succeed in losing. It would be well for Dr. Gilbert's opponents to possess their victory when the victory comes. He would respectfully inform them that he has no fears as to the outcome. Of course, money is needed by these parties, and their few deluded followers must be led to believe by this advertisement that victory will be better wait and sea.

BIG CIVIL RIGHTS VICTORY OUT in Springfield, Ill., a few days ago Judge Creighton of the Circuit Court handed down a decision holding that parks are public property and any person, regardless of color or previous condition of servitude, has the right to enjoy all privileges in the parks of Springfield, providing he conducts himself in a becoming manner This important ruling was made in the case of Miss Margaret Washington, colored, against Frank B Iles, former manager of Mildred Pleasure Park, who was sued for $5,000 damages for ejecting Miss Washington from a dance pavilion and the park grounds. A verdict, awarding the plaintiff $50 damages and costs was also rendered. Miss Washington won her case after a lengthy legal battle. She is being complimented on every hand for her display of pluck and sticktoitiveness. Even those of her race who were heard to declare before she came out victorious in her legal contest that she was foolish for trying to win against what appeared to them great odds now take delight in sounding Miss Washington's praise. Throughout the trial of the case Miss Washington paid little attention to the utterances of the passive and weak-kneed who are not inclined to fight for their civil rights. She declared time and time again that she intended to test the validity of the laws operative in her state and city which expressly stipulate against discrimination in places of public accommodation and amusement on account of color. Several years ago a party of colored women went to Mildred Pleasure Park. Dancing was being indulged in on the pavilion and it was not long before the dusky dancers were the cynosure of all eyes. Manager Iles informed them that their presence was not any too desirable, and after an exchange of words the members of the party were ejected from the pavilion and the grounds. Miss Washington was one of the women mistreated, and she filed suit against Manager Iles for damages. Her companions, *howeyer*, refrained from resenting the insults to which they had been submitted, deciding to let the matter drop. Although suing for $5,000 damages Miss Washington received but $50; but the decision rendered by Judge Creighton upholding the laws passed to prohibit race discrimination in public places was the principal victory desired. Now the colored citizens of Springfield know that the law will not recognize the drawing of the color line in public places—a piece of legal knowledge worth many times more than the amount asked for in the suit. An Example for Colored Citizens of New York. The great fight made by Miss Washington of Springfield, Ill., should be taken in account and given serious consideration by the colored citizens of Greater New York. Just think of what Miss Washington accomplished single-handed! In the past the attitude of the Negroes living in the metropolis has been similar to that shown by the companions of Miss Washington, who were also goribly ejected from Mildred Pleasure Park. They have been indifferent to the many acts of discrimination committed against them in theatres and other public places of amusement, although the law is in their favor. In some parts of the country colored citizens have a fondness for "resolutting," and are known to draw up more resolutions in a brief period than are passed at a big political state convention. However, it has been many a day since the colored citizens of this city have even held a meeting "to resolute" against the many acts of discrimination being boldly made daily in Gotham. Of course, to meet and draw up resolutions is merely a waste of time. The trouble to-day not only in New York City, but elsewhere is that there is too much talk and not enough action. By reason of our apathy in New York the theatre managers and the heads of other public places of amusement have become emboldened and are establishing unfair and un-American customs which they are seeking to substitute for laws. According to the Malby act, full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges should be given to all persons in places of public accommodation, and yet hundreds of managers violate the law daily and are not prosecuted for being lawbreakers. Surely we are not waiting for a member of the Caucasian race to come forward as champion and lead a fight for the enforcement of a law that has been enacted for the benefit of citizens of color? From now on, when a colored theatergoer is denied the rights and privileges due him under the Malty act, he does not cynically righteous indignation and entertain your friends by giving a graphic recall of how you were re-assigned onation on the first floor and then ejected, but think of how Miss Margaret Washington of Springfield, IL, presented the drawing of the color MUSIC AND THE STAGE LESTER A. WALTON. line, which was effectively and successfully done, not by indulgence in an ocean of talk nor the drawing up of a set of resolutions, but by appealing to the law which provides that there shall be no race discrimination in the public places of amusement in New York. Customs should not supersede laws in the Umted States, and will not if the colored citizens of Greater New York get busy WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.

For the Latest Theatrical News Read the NEW YORK AGE. The "Lone Star" state little over thirty years ago gave birth to two babes of the Negro race and to-day they are known throughout America. One, by his constant training, science, physical endurance, and ability to knock out his opponents in the prize ring, has become the greatest prize fighter of the age and holds the world's championship. The other, by his natural ability, keenness of wit, insight into human nature, drollness of action, success as a comedian, has become one of the kings of funmakers. One is Jackson, and the other S. H. Dudley One with his mighty right and heavy left has sent his peers falling to the ring side, giving his race the everlasting credit of producing the greatest flastic warrior the world has ever seen, the other has traveled from ocean to ocean, gulf to the lakes, causing theatre-goers to scream with laughter and be pronounced by managers, press and people, as one of the leading comedians of the day. Both are fond of athletic sports and outdoor exercises. While one liked to battle with his flats, the other liked to spur a steed on to victory. They loved the open air and sunshine and this in many respects accounts for their good health. Mr. Dudley's ambition has been to supervise and promote a number of colored shows, feeling that as a comedian he has pleased the public for so many years himself, would become naturally a better judge of public demands in the way of amusements than any other manager, and therefore conscientious of his ability to direct and draw out the best that's in others, he is anxious to see the leading colored companies raised to the highest possible standard of efficiency. If this fond desire of his he has recieved the highest encouragement from Messrs. Barton, Niswell, Nair, Havlin and Nicoll and number others who are financing other similar amusement companies that are making the various circuits. Mr. Dudley is one great comedian who loves to see those beneath him rise above him—a man utterly without envy, who smoothes but never obstructs the pathway of others to success. He knows how to be a wonderful way the highest development of the best talent in his race. Conscientious of his own talents, feeling that his place is secure in the public estimation, he concedes the superiority of those above him and beckons those beneath him to come upward on higher ground. In a fair criticism of any one's life, we should not only disclose his merits but lay bare his faults and his follies. Having known him for some years, we can say his vices are only the shadows that his virtues cast, and he is known throughout the professional world. He counts the ascribed as a "honest man who hates the alime that sticks on filthy deeds." The creed of his life is that happiness is the aim and end of human existence, and that he is the happiest man who makes most people happy, and hends he views events that transpire in his life, noting incongruity and blotting out every solemnity. Among the galaxy of stars of the first magnitude is S H Dudley He was born of humble parentage at the capital of Texas. There was nothing his hometown that attracted his attention or enlisted his interest in athletic sports and outdoor exercises and he became enamored with race riding and at the first Texas State Fair was given a mount, piloting a horse by the name of Moonlight to victory. In his operations on the turf he became acquainted with a man who appreciating his ready show held on the street corners and he sang a song entitled "Des Bones Shall Rise Again," with such effect that many of the people thought him inspired. This flattering success made him feel that his talent demanded a wider field than a medicine wagon, and he became a stuntman (which he killed for a stump speech). His efforts caused much merriment Subsequent to his "stump-speaking stunt" Mr Dudley was in demand in variety shows and at music halls. It was then that the Dudley and Andrews Ideal Minute Company was hired to play the keyboard without starring and barnstorming and finally stranded. The company disbanded with a bass drum and a juice harp. Deteated but undaunted, crushed but not yet conquered, he proceeded at once to organize the Dudley Georgia Minstrels which interested a number of substantial citizens of Galveston to furnish the captain. Mr Perry, hear of the comedian is with Perry T. Wright's Nashville Students, and afterwards he went into vaudeville with the famous Tom McIntosh, heading the "Hot Old Time in Dixie." With Sam J. Corker, Jr., he joined the Clorinda Company and toured the Eastern and Middle Atlantic regions, and crowned "King Rustin" in an all-star cast, which was the greatest colored aggregation of the age. Seemingly success in life is not met without the encouragement and advice of a woman. The real substantial rise of Mr. Dudley was when he joined in the 1950s in Misses Kersanda's wife. They worked together, with Dudley singing that one-time famous song, "Good Morning Carrie." He worked with Billy Kersanda and for two seasons took out this company himself, and made it a success where others failed. He worked with Mrs. Dudley, he launched the "Smart Set." For six years the aggregation has been on the road and has met with success. To-day he is playing "His Honor, the Barber," which is the best show he has ever hended. He is planning for two other colored shows for next season. For his shrewd ability and keen insight into the business side of the theatrical profession his friends predict for him great success. The pride of his life is his wife and Mrs. Dudley used to with the show, the talent of the principal parts in the company Sherman, Jr. is in Chicago in the public schools. Some people claim that Mr. Dudley should cease usu, burnt cork. They seem to forget that it is the aim of the play to show the wit and humor of this sort of Negro and on the stage at the same time there are forty other actors at the same time who are fired on or are. Without this kind of wit and humor, there 'would be no Williams. Dudley, Cole or Steward and colored actors could never reach the foilights. While Mr. Dudley is busy arranging business matters for the next season's special to our run out to the Johnson and Jefferies price fight. From all in- dibutions he will have veto; or fifty well known people to accompany him on the trip. It is Mr. Jack's renowned desire that Mr. Dudley be on his side during the coming great contest. It is our hope and fondest wish that one continues the victor in the ring and the other the victor on the stage. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BY LESTER A. WALTON The Prosecution and Persecution of Jack Johnson. WHEN Champion Jack Johnson so forgot himself as to allow his right hst to come forcebly in close proximity with the organ of smell of one Norman Pinder, at Cafe Wilkins, some weeks ago, little did he think that the blow so quickly and skilfully dealt would cause him many hours of inconvenience, as well as much unnecessary notoriety. Although the blow will not rank in history with the "sleep producer" the champion will present to Jeffries on July 4, yet it will not be soon forgotten While Johnson should be criticised for hitting Pinder, it must be said in all fairness to him that he has not only been the victim of prosecution but persecution since the incident occurred. The trouble merely amounted to an ordinary police court case, but owing to the desire of a few sporting writers, one in particular, to picture Johnson as a demon and king of "roughhouse men," the affair has been so magnified that even a judge became unduly serious and saw fit to regard the case in almost the same light as a murder trial. To have heard the argument indulged in over bond for Johnson last week, one not conversant with the incident would have thought that the champion was being charged with assassinating a man instead of temporarily increasing the size of his nose When the case was called for trial announcement was made that Pinder, the prosecuting witness, was not in the city and had disappeared. An unsuccessful effort had also been made to subpoena the principal witnesses to the trouble The court waked wrought upon hearing that Pinder was not present and fixed Johnson's bond at $5,000. The champion had something less than $3,000 in cash, but that amount was spurned. So he was turned over to the Sheriff with whom he spent a few hours. Finally, after many conferences, the judge relented and accepted Johnson's cash upon promise that a real estate holder would go on the champion's bond the next day. Mrs Hannah Walker, colored, who owns property in Harlem, went Johnson's bond, and the case was continued, the court instructing the Circuit Attorney and Sheriff to institute a search for Pinder Too much publicity has been given to the brawl already, and it is highly probable that the case will probabilise as it it said that the finding of Pinder is problematical. Planning Special Trains for Big Flight. The Age is in receipt of a letter from John Christian and Benjamin E. Simons of San Francisco, Cal., announcing that arrangements are being made to run a special train, to be known as the Big Transcontinental Railroad, to be the train will consist of baggage and dining car, standard Pullman sleeping cars and an observation buffet car. According to the colored promoters the special will start from New York City June 25, and will take on passengers en route. "Homerun Johnson" Jumps Royal Giants. Grant (Homerun) Johnson will not be a member of the Royal Giants this season. He has jumped his team and will play with the Leland Giants of Chicago. Rumor has it that the well-known short stop and Manager Connor are not on the best of terms, and that Johnson has decided to play in the "Windy City." It is well known that Manager Connor anxious to make a trade with Lloyd of the Philadelphia Giants, and Johnson figured in the deal but whether the trouble started over the attempt to pull off the transaction has not yet been made public. Johnson has been captain of the Johnson has been captain of the Royal Glants for several years Y. M. C. A., 44; St. Christophers, 15. Y. M. C. A., 441 N. Christophersen, Db. Washington, D. C.

A. quint claims the eastern United States championship, which virtually holds good for the entire country among teams composed entirely of players from the Y M C. C. admits that the St. Christopher team made the local boys work harder than any other team this year, although the score would not so indicate. The boys from the big city put up a star exhibition in the game, and in the last stages of the game the locals shot almost too many baskets to count. The score of the first half stood 15 to 9 in favor of the Y M C A. On the opening plays of the second half the score was 15 to 10 and finally to 15 on fouls where they remained until the game was called. Bradford dat center outjumped Henderson, but the St Christopher forwards were too well covered by Gray and Huddy, Oliver Hammond and Hargrove, Nixon and forwards on their usual excellent game for the Washington hossa. A faster game has never been seen in Washington, and the boys from the metropolis made a very strong impression here. The final score was Y M C A 44, St Christopher 15.

Office Room to Rent JACOB GRIFFITH Metropolitan Bldg. 46th Street & 8th AveJ OUT-OF-TOWN CORRESPONDENCE WRIGHT, ALBERMANIC CANDIDATE Chiangneone of Second Ward John Ferns to Elect Able and Popular Negro. Special to THE NEW YORK ACM Chicago, III, March 23—The colored population of Chicago are in a great state of political excitement just now, and what is known as the Second Ward of the city, containing over four thousand colored voters, is the political battle ground. What is called the "black vote" of the Second Ward has always been considered an important, and at times a determining factor in the politics of the Republican party. In this ward live many of the most prominent colored men in Chicago. F. L. Barnett, assistant state's attorney, L. B. Anderson, assistant county attorney, E. H. Morris and Ed Green, ex-member of the State Legislature. H. Roberts the orator of excellence in the campaign and Dr G C Hall are all men of force and must always be reckoned with in any political campaign. The present excitement in this particular battle ground has grown out of the fact that Edward H. Wright has come out as an independent candidate for alderman from the Second Ward. It appears that the stand taken by Mr. Wright is no mere wanton ambition for excitement above all. The fact is that at long time the colored men of this ward have felt sent in the City Council was due them. The number of votes cast by them is greater than that of any other group of the Second Ward constituency. Their property holdings in this ward and their contribution to taxes are of such character and importance as to quite justify their demand for better political recognition. It is a conceded fact that no man can be elected to the City Council from this ward, without the colored vote. Yet demands for recognition have been ignored. When the last Aldermanic Convention was held in the ward and the just demands and expectations of the colored people were ignored, the colored voters notified the powers beet that they would have a candidate down in the person of Edward H. Wright. When Wright's candidacy was announced there was great consternation. The solidarity of party voters was broken into smithers so to speak, so that there are and have several candidates in and for seat in the City Council, consisting of Republican Independent Republican, Democrat, Colored Republican, Socialist, Prohibitionist and Labor candidates. All party lines are down and great fusion and excitement. The most successful candidate is interviewed on the coloured. It is confident asserted by Mr. Wright and his friends that he is the strongest candidate in the race. The colored vote in the ward is larger than that of any other political group. If Mr. Wright can command and hold the colored is a certainty. Mr. Wright is recognized by all factions as a strong candidate. He is a man of mental force and courage. He has played the political game in all of its angles for many years, both in Chicago and the State at large, and he held all kinds of offices, a result of his inquisition. He twice elected as his commissioner on the Republican ticket, and during his second term he was the actual leader on the Board, the most important governing body in the county. It is said in Mr. Wright's behalf that he has always had the respect of politicians because of his loyalty to party pledge. He is a wide acquaintance with the leading politicians of the State, and for these reasons his friends are confident of his election. At any rate, Wright's run for membership in the City Council has stirred up the colored people here politically to an extent that is quite astonishing to all politicians. He has been a friend and his friends are confident he will be elected. Of course, while there is a good deal of race enthusiasm in Mr Wright's campaign, there are many secret agonies among those colored men who are holding important political jobs, and are thus pledged to vote the strained Republican ticket. In other words, the black Republicans are confronted with a painful dilemma of either being dialoyal to the race or disloyal to their party pledges. NEW BERNE BUSINESS BOOM. Business and Insurance Men and Corporations Active and Prosperous. Special to The New York Axz. New Bern, N. C., March 29 — W H. Green, one of New Bern's leading torsional artists, has opened a new barber shop on Pine street. Mr. Green is a hustling insurance agent and a leading factor in the Citizens' Volunteer Aid for the Old Veterans. A. B. Fonvielle, on South Front street, at the James City Bridge, is one of the leading green grocers. He handles all the various meats, fruits, soft drinks and country produce. Frederick C. Spruill, a member of Good Will Lodge, G. U. O of O F., of Paterson, N. J., returned home recently. He has been quite indisposed, but is now convalescent and at work. Mrs. J. Fulford Warner of Rogersville, passed away through our city home from Beaufort, N. C. where she had been to visit her aged father The revival at Jones Chapel Zion Church closed last week with glorious results. Rev A E Lomox feels justly gratified. There were some thirty-two soils converted. James City Public School did not close first announced, because the school authorities were so well pleased with the work of Rev J W Macdonald that they extended the term. This young man has received many flattering testimonials from the superintendent and others for the surprising results of this the most difficult county. He accomplished a great work. The whole people are elated. H H. Pender, the efficient assistant to Prof Macdonald will open the Atlantic Baptist Institute in April. The Baptist Ministerial Union of this city held a very profitable session at John's Baptist Church on March 28. Rev I. P. Martin, pastor of Browns Academy, young minister and pedagogue. The Standard Building and Loan Association of this city has existed more than two centuries to dominate the needs of our people of our city. President O'Rahn, at- torney at law, secretary-treasurer, Prof. J. T. Harber, principal of City Graded School. These are able and worthy men in whom the public of both races has implicit confidence both in their ability and honesty. They are holding public meetings and thus educating the people as to the workings of the association. Gen. J. King, a representative of the education authority, is editing the Colored Department of the New Berm Sun with ability and awakening our people to the necessity of a paper of our own. Rev. J. W. MacDonald, A.M., will be domiciled in the splendid parsonage of Purvis Chapel Zion Church, Beaumont, N. C., the first of April. In the few months he has been in Beaumont, N. C., he has broken all records in that church on conference and banquet connection in raising and paying out his general Fund Assessment for this year. He has also raised a good sum and made great repairs on the parsonage. Joseph later, the Five Points dry goods merchant, is doing an excellent business. The land improvement Company, under the management of Dr. Wm. Shepherd, is doing a work which commends itself to the people. Rev. H. Bell, presiding elder of the Wilmington District, stopped over to see Jae. S. Shepherd while enroute from home to his district. He reports his district as being in splendid shape HARTFORD NOMINATES PURITAS. Edward A. Hooker, Friend of Black Race, Candidate of G. O. P. Peterson-Tok Suptials. regular Correspondence of THE ACK. Hartford, Conn., March 29—Last Wednesday evening the Hon. Edward W. Hooker, who was elected mayor two years ago, when there was such an exciting contest between him and Senator Meliorn for the minority nomination, was on last evening unanimously nominated for mayor by the Republican Convention. Hartford's colored people hope and believe that he will be re-elected, as they believe he is one of the fairest gentlemen we have in our city. A descendant of Thomas Hooker who settled Hartford and wrote the Constitution of the State of Connecticut, all of his descendants are of the Puritan settlers, have always been a member of the American and if the colored citizens of Hartford will give him their royal and many support they can depend upon just treatment and a square deal if they do their part. John Young of the Roosevelt Club has had a new front added to his clubhouse, a thorough renovation and a gymnasium making a very attractive establishment. He has been sick and confined to his bed for several weeks, but is now and will continue to manage the marriage of Mrs. Harriet M.

Miss Della Arnold of Jillet street has been called to New Jersey to the death bed of her brother, who has been sick many months. Miss Edwards and Mrs. Annie M.

Miss Alice Wheeler, tenure at the High School, Washington, D C. is on her Easter vacation with her parents. Master Warner Lawson has been confined the past week with mumps. FAVOR NEGRO POLICE. Leading Newspapers of North Carolina Urge That Negroes Be Appointed on Police Force in Large Cities of State. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Charlotte, N.C. March 29—Negro police for the large towns in North Carolina in an issue being vigorously advocated by the leading papers of the State In discussing "Charleston's Negro Officers," the Charlotte Daily Observer recently said Heartily agreeing with this paper that Negro special officers furnish the only satisfactory solution of the problem presented by bad Negroes in cities, the Charleston police, the Charleston County police, and Charleston's experience. "One of the bravest officers who has ever served on the Charleston police force," it is declared, "was Lieutenant Fordham, a colored man, who enjoyed and deserved the respect of all the citizens of this community, regardless of color, race, sex, religion, and other police lieutenants who were colored men, and at least a dozen line sergeants. The force to-day includes three patrolmen, two day men and five drivers who are colored men, and we are told that all of them are doing good work. Patrolman Henry H. Garrison, just the forty-first anniversary of his connection with the department. He joined it in 1870 as a day man, and for the last 26 years has been an efficient and trustworthy patrolman. Of course the officers in charge of the police department exercise more than ordinary ones in these coated members of the force and the coated patrolmen themselves are always respectful in their bearing." Again we say that no question can be more easily answered by any one who will approach it with an open mind More Negro Foremen Special to LNK NEW YORK AGE Columbus, O.

It is said that it would not be necessary to carry the question of constitutionality of the action of the Legislature through the tedious delays of the law and the courts before getting a come-back at the proponents of the disfranchisement. As soon as the bill was passed by the Legislature and before an appeal to the courts Congress would take up the question of reduction of representation. As the Negr population is large in Maryland, reduction upon the basis of the disfranchised vote would cut Maryland's representation in Congress materially. The second section of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States provides "Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, including Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of election for President and Vice-President of the United States, representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a State or the members of a Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in reebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." partment under the recently appointed colored superintendent. With the new places opened up for colored men, Columbus outranks any city in the State for quantity and quality of political recognition for the race. Miae Coree Makee Debut at Prince- Princeton, N.

Both services were well attended. The Mystic Baptist Sunday School Union, comprising schools from Woburn, Winchester, West Medford and Malden, held its bi-monthly meeting at the New Hope Church, Winchester, and it was a grand success, and as Winchester is the birthplace of the organization and the founder, Rev. Jacob Russell, was present, the affair was a most enjoyable one. At short intervals congregational singing was indulged in, after which an interesting essay, "Progress in Humanity," was read by Miss George Green, of Winchester, solo, Mrs. Edith Crutcher, of Woburn, scripture reading, Master John Walker, of Malden, essay, "Effect of Literature on the Youthful Mind," Miss Agnes Carrington, of Malden, oration, "Making Things Happen," Simon Barksdale, of Winchester, solo, Miss Bessie Hunt, of Winchester.

WOULD CUT REPRESENTATION basis of apportionment to a nicety The fact that the Maryland solons intend to apply their new plan only in State elections, allowing the Negroes to vote in national elections, so as not to run foul of federal election laws and judges, will not avail against the proposition to reduce representation. The Constitution provides that if the right o vote is abridged in elections for State, legislative or judicial offices the basis of apportionment for representation in Congress shall be changed accordingly.
