For some reason not thoroughly understood it is known in Atlanta that special agents have been detailed to examine the office of Collector at Internal Revenue frequently during the last months, but at each time it has been shown that the office is in first place. The rating has been "V" all the time from the beginning of Mr. Rucker's term of office. And the removal of Collector Rucker and his replacement by a white man, the death of Collector Deaux and the riot of his place by the appointment of a white man, the removal from the National Committee of Judson Lyons as National Committeeman at Chicago as the reported instance of Mr. Hutchison the Negro Republicans of Georgia has been brought face to face with a crisis. What the result will be Negro politicians say remains to be seen but those most closely associated with the situation that the Negros constitute the majority of the Republicans in Georgia and do not mean to be ruthless, depredated of their rights even by the tenure of Federal office holders or the removal of the last Negro on the National Committee

WHIPPED IN MEMPHIS
Horace White, Colored, Given a Beating by Police for Keeping Company With Evan Bishop, White
-A Love Affair.
Special to THE NEW YORK ACM
Memphis, Tenn., April 2. Because they opened admissions their love for each other, Horace White colored, of Springfield, Ill., was whipped by the police and put贮 bound in cushion train, and Few Bishop, white, was put on the first train north by the detectives who instructed her to go to her home in Grand Rapids, Mich. White was stewed at the Arlington Hotel where Miss Bishop was cashier. It was at the hotel they fell in love. According to Police Inspector Haven Miss Bishop admitted her love for White, who is several years her senior. She said that he had been kind to her since she came South and that he was the only one in the world who had paid her an attention. She did not know that it was unlawful for whites and blacks to marry in Tennessee and admitted that it was her intention some due to marry White. The police gave White a choice of punishment. At first he defied them, but after he got a lawyer and was in formed of the possibility of criminal prosecution he submitted to the horse whipping, which was inflicted in the central police precinct in presence of policemen only.
NEW YORK, THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1910.
SHOULD MULATTOS BE ENUMERATED IN CENSUS?
Question Being Raised by Prof. Greener with Census Director
CLAIM OF MEDICAL EXPERTS
At Least Seventy Per Cent. of the Present American Population is of African Extraction.
Special to THE NEW YORK AQR
Washington, D. C., April 5—Prot
Richard I Greener is still raising the
contention that in the nextensus there
should be no enumeration of mulattoes
as such an act would cause a geographical
massup. The following letter, ad
dressed to Census Director Durand, has
been made public.
sort in the order of black and white, in the order of South and North, and in the order of dark and light as the order in the true seems to be. So, to mother, the darker the program in the order of black and white, the darker the information in the order of black and white, the darker the world is unreliable and untrustworthy.
Person's knowledge is what they are ordinary about would at any pro-letter writer, one or the other parent to my knowledge having been white. Besides, I understand your department has already had some trouble on this question of "color" as to Igey, Egyptians, Syrians, et al., concerning whom there are doubts as to whether the are "real white". The slightest sane attention paid to the subject shows it to be so useless, so absurd, so nauseating in a repellent supposed to have been partially regenerated that I suspect there is no real reason you will not go to step back and the strict letter at the end of the compilation of color. Even in districts between "black" and "white" we will have less difficultly in telling what is black than in correctly designing what is "white" in this country. Many of us well know, any one who whispers to assert and maintain his assertion, and medical authorities tell us that at least seventy percent of the present population of America are of Afr. extraction. There are abundant examples to sustain the statement South and North.
Difficulty of Engineers to Distinguish Between Black and White
Again who is to decide this question of color? In at least half of the cases based upon "black" "white" "mutate" he will not be able to tell, and even when he does know, the enumerator may have doubts founded upon his imperfect knowledge of the varieties of shade in this color, not being an expert, as I have before suggested, and utterly unfamiliar with the varied American racial eccentricities, as to color.
Question 3. (Application for Appointment as Census Enumerator) "What is your sex and color?" can have no other purpose it seems to me than to accentuate more intensely the determination to range the inhabitants of this country into two opposite classes, white and black. What difference does it make to an American applicant for office what his color may be? I find no special provision for the red colored or the white colored or the yellow colored man or woman in the documents of your office. Besides, the question itself is mixed color or race? It is a well known ethnical fact that all so called "white" people are not of the same race nor are all so called "black" or "brown" people of the same race, or even "yellow" people.
But the most serious objection which occurs to me is found in the "both" of the schedule in your "Instructions"—"For census purposes the term 'blood' includes all Negroes of full blood. The term 'multate' includes all Negroes not of full blood but having any perceptible trace of Negro blood." This clearly shows the animus of the whole color desegregation. No Bureau has any more right to querce as to "Negroes of full blood" than as to "whites of full blood" much less has it any authority to include in the term "multate" "all Negroes not of full blood" but "having perceptible trace of Negro blood." Within my own recollection both South and North whenever the exigencies of politics demanded persons of obvious Vivian desert have voted as "white" people. I recall several such instances when I was a student at Oberlin 1692 63. In South Carolina in Georgia and in most of the Southern states, even before the war, Negroes and persons of mixed blood freely voted whenever it was considered necessary for political purposes, although in many cases it was contrary to the organic law
Scott at Columbia Countiest Pleads for Race's Rights-Southerners Also Win.
George W. A. Scoff, a Negro junior student at Columbia University, provided the sensational occasion of the evening last Friday at theatrical contest for juniors and seniors Mr Scott, speaking on the subject, "Is the Negro Litted for Full Citizenship?" held the enthusiasm of his audience until the end, though he was the last speaker.
He said that the Negro was fitted for full citizenship, and he alleged that in some of the Southern States he was being deprived of it. He appealed to the Columbia students to do what they could to get the Negro his full constitutional rights. He received the second prize. The winner of the first prize was a Southerner, Dixon Ryan Fox, also of the class of 1911, who spoke on "The Third Party Man" Still another Southerner, Dallas Selwyn Townsend, class of 1910, delivered a thrilling oration on Should Women Vote?" He said they should. He got no prize.
REVOLT IN OHIO
Then the average Negro voter has it fixed in his head pretty thoroughly that the present national administration has catered too much to the South, and then the average man out here has be it that a large number of Negro office holders have been removed from office in the South and none have been put in office in their place.
Aside from these matters there is a dissatisfaction growing out of high prices for living for which, without reason, they hold the administration responsible.
It is assumed that considerable work is ahead for the party managers of the Negro voters and the considerable body of white voters who follow former Gov. Herrick and Mr. Garfield are to be brought into line, as the situation, at this time is rather alarming.
NO CONFLICT IN Y. M. C. A.
Secretary of Association at Cincinnati Writes to the Age That No Color Line Has Been Drawn in That City-Branch Likely to Be Organised in Near Future.
In a letter to THE Age John W. Perkins, general secretary of the Y M C A at Cincinnati, disclaims any knowledge of the white members drawing the color line against Negroes opening a branch of the association in that city as charged in an article recently appearing in the New York Independent Secretary Perkins' letter.
I have not seen the article in question in the Independent, although one or two of our daily papers made some comment on it. Taking up your inquiries serendipitously that there are no colored men in the membership of our Central Branch
Regarding the establishment of a N Y M C A on Walnut Hills for colored men, I can only speak positively with regard to the past three years during which time I worked at Walnut Hills. I know that no effort at all was made by this Association to prevent any organization carrying the name in Walnut Hills or any other vicinity, because until this matter was published, I did not know there was an organization called the W B C A, and only worked for it. I was standing for. Inquiry fails to develop any such conflict prior to my coming here. On the contrary, I found when I came to this Association considerable data left by my predecessor, who had investigated the possibilities of the opening of a branch in the city for colored men. I have been on investigation of this field by Mr Morland with a view to establishing such a work.
The matter has frequently been discussed among our Board during the past three years, and, in fact, within the last three months, and in recent months, such a branch would be established as soon as such a project could be financed and provided the colored people themselves were in favor of it. Our plans for future extension over at least an investigation of that branch would also be lishing a branch if conditions are favorable.
G. W. A. SCOTT
PITTSBURG CHURCH ON VERGE OF A SPLIT
Bethel A. M. E. Church Congregation Has Turbulent Meeting
QUARREL OVER PASTOR
Appointment of Rev. P. E. Mills and Refusal of Bishop Derrick to Remove Him Said to be Cause of Trouble.
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE
Pittsburg, Pa. Apr. 18, 1914 M. Church was the second turmoil and the first eviction last week as the ministers of the congregation principals. Intense was the exclamation that the preceding others were unable to rest, although resentful attempts were made to do so. A petition to the well-known church committee.
Among the would-be penmakers who came to Pittsburg last week to "realm the trouble waters" were Bishop W. W. Derrick and Presiding Elder W. R. Anderson. Their presence did not bring about the desired results, however.
preacher's efforts, combined with those of Presiding Elder Anderson, who is often referred to as one of the best executive officers on the state, could not restore peace and harmony during the session in 1870, and women attended and served. They were often on the floor at the time to be heard of. Permanent officers of the church assisted in an endeavor to restore order, but all attempts were unfulfilled.
Pastor Not Generally Popular.
I was sad that the present unanticipated mass existing in Bethel A M E Church is about the determination of Bishop Brick's commitment to the congregation to accept Rev P L Mills a native of the West Indies as pastor.
When Rev Mills was appointed pastor of Bethel A M E Church several months ago he was warmly received by the members and citizens generally. However, a few months after his arrival his popularity was noted to be on the wane, so much so that when conference convened a strong petition was submitted asking for Rev Mills removal.
Member's who favor the removal of Rev Mills charge that Bishop Derrick has paid no attention to the many petitions and requests made that a new pastor be appointed at Bethel A M E Church, which has resulted in a marked shrinkage of the attendance.
Bethel A M E Church was founded in 1827. Its structure was destroyed by fire in 1841 and was rebuilt the same year. In 1871 a building was remodeled and services are being held in an eclectic competed last year. There have been several splits in the church, and from all appearances there will be another division of the membership soon. Bethel A M E Church is probably the oldest colored church in the state.
The church is so used to have always been backward in its contributions, due to the fact that it is supported by a fund known as the Very Lucky, left by a philanthropist by that name. The pastor has always been sure of his salary, irrespective of the attitude of the congregation in giving financial aid.
BANK OPENS IN MONTGOMERY
Montgomery, Ala., April 5—The first Negro bank to be opened in the city of Montgomery began doing business Monday in this city. With the opening of this bank Alabama has seven Negro banks. A large amount of cash was deposited the first day and the colored people throughout the capital city of Alabama feel very proud over their new venture.
Pilgrim's Vision at Lincoln.
Lincoln, Va., April 4 — Our Easter exercise, entitled "The Pilgrim Vision," was rendered at Grove M E Church in the Sabbath School. The leading character was Miss Lucy Austin, who has taken an active part in church work since she came here. Music was furnished by Prof Jas. J. Jackson, organist, assisted by Messra. J E Bell and I. Dade, corne, and M Stewart, violinist.
FAVORS NEGRO EXPOSITION
Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions Favourably Reports to the House Bill for Creation of Commission.
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.
Washington, D. C., April 5—The joint resolution to create a commission to investigate and report on the advisability of holding an exposition commemorative of the semi-centennial of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation has been favorably reported to the House from the committee on industrial arts and expositions. Representative Rodenberg of Illinois, in making the report, quoted President Taft as follows: "The year 1913 will mark the fifteenth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation granting freedom to the Negroes. It seems fitting that this event should be properly celebrated. Already a movement has been started by prominent Negroes, encouraged by prominent white people and the press. The South especially is manifesting its interest in this movement.
It is suggested that a proper form of celebration would be an exposition to show the progress the Negroes have made, not only during their period of freedom but also from the time of their coming to this country.
I heartily endorse this proposal, and request that the executive be authorized to appoint a preliminary commission of not more than seven persons to consider carefully whether or not it is wise to look into an exposition, and it so, to form a plan for the enterprise. I further recommend that such preliminary commission serve without salary, except in their actual expenses, and that an emancipation be made to meet such expenses."
The resolution, which was introduced by Mr. Rodenberg, authorizes the President to appoint a commission consisting of seven persons to consider carefully whether or not it is advisable to hold an exposition in the United States in 1913 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation granting freedom to the Negroes, and that the said commission report to Congress the first Monday in December, 1910.
It is specially provided that "the members of said commission shall serve without compensation, but shall be paid their necessary expenses," for which the sum of $5,000 is carried by the resolution.
CAN'T VOTE IN 1971
Nefarious Election Law Passed by Maryland Legislature Tends to Prevent All Negroes From Voting at State and Municipal Elections. Special to The New York Acq.
Baltimore, Md., April 6—For the first time since 1869 the Negro voters of this State will not be able to vote in a State or municipal election. No matter what may be the educational qualifications or the character of the colored man, he will not be able to vote at the State election in 1911 Harvard graduates, owners of property, editors of newspapers, school teachers, doctors, lawyers, and even venerable Bishop James A Handy will be denied the right to vote.
The legislature, which adjourned sine die Monday night, passed bills denying every Negro the right to register in 1910 and 1900 colored men are all deprived of their rights of citizenship.
The Digges bill, as the nefarious measure is known, does the trick, but has a clause added to it which allows the white people to vote whether or not they are colored. 1000 words of property shall be allowed to exercise the right of the suffrage.
Work of Registration Officials.
Every daily newspaper in Baltimore was opposed to the measure, but the Democratic politicians decreed that as people Maryland voted in 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909 snowed, under the disfranchisement amendments, that the Negro must be gotten rid of at all hazards if they were going to continue in power, and they madly rushed through a measure which robs a whole race of its privileges.
This bill, which makes it mandatory upon registration officials to refuse Negroes the right to vote is the boldest yet adopted by any Southern State, and can change to get the whole Southern disfranchisement question before the courts. Some believe that it will cause Congress to take cognizance of unjust laws against the Negro which conflict with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, and have imposed national and racial questions and around the nation to the unjust treatment of the race.
The white Republicans are in fighting mood and will contest every inch the upsetting of the laws in the federal court. There is some talk of having registration officials arrested for refusing to register colored voters under the revised statutes which prohibits two or more persons from complying to vote in the free exercise of any right or privilege secured him by the Constitution of the United States and provides a maximum fine of $5,000 or ten years in prison for same.
The Digges law will not deprive colored citizens of their right to vote in congressional or presidential elections.

"COLOR IS NO BAR TO JUSTICE"
Jurors Warned by Justice Mc- Call Against Showing Prejudice
Court in Instructions Told Jury
That Verdict Should be Given
on the Evidence
GRIFFIN GETS $1,000
First Jury Awarded Plaintiff $2,500 Damages, which Verdict Was Set Aside as It Was Said to Have Been Excessive.
"The tribunal in Justice has nothing to do with the color of a man's skin; therefore, it is your duty to return a verdict on the evidence in accordance with your oath, without considering in any way the race or color of the defendant." - Justice McCall
In instituting a jury in the case of George W. Griffin, a Pullman porter, against Daniel M. Brady, the plaintiff suing for damages for false arrest, Justice McCall in Part V of the Supreme Court, warned the jurors to determine the merits of the case according to the law and evidence and not take into consideration the color of the petitioner.
The case is the same in which Justice Dugro some months ago set aside a verdict of $2,500 on the ground that it was excessive, holding that a Negro could not suffer the same amount of shame as a result of false arrest as a white man.
Acting on the instructions of Justice McCall the jury amount in a verdict to $1,000 against Brady.
The case has created much discussion, and has been tried twice. Griffin sued Brady for $10,000 damages, charging that on January 23, 1906, at Montreal, Can, Brady wrongfully accused him of having stolen a card case containing money and valuable papers. Griffin was discharged as innocent and then sued Brady.
A jury in Justice Dugro's court returned a verdict of $2,500 damages against Brady. Justice Dugro wanted to compromise by giving Griffin $300, which the plaintiff refused to accept. The verdict was then set aside.
The case was appealed to the Appellate Court, which by a vote of three to two affirmed Justice Dugro's action in setting aside the verdict as being excessive, but refused to comment on the Negro question.
Retrial of the Case.
A retrial of the suit was ordered, which resulted in the jury last week giving Griffith a verdict for $1,000. Justice McCall's opinion on the color question was very much different from that expressed by Justice Dugro, who said in part
"No such verdict as $2,500 would ever stand for a moment in any court for this printit. He was a porter, and while he is just as good as the President of the United States, if he were imprisoned where he should be paid for it, it would be a bad argument for why he is just as good in many senses. He would not be hurt just as much if put in prison as every other man would be. That depends on a man's standing, what his circumstances are, and, if he was the man he fact that he is a colored man is to be considered. You cannot say he is just the same as a white man when you come to say how much shame he will suffer. He might suffer more. But, after all, what are the probabilities about it. Is it likely he treated and imprisoned he feels just as much shame as a white man of any circumstances might?
I think if you were to take the Mayor of the city and arrest him he would feel very much more humiliated than this porter, from the fact that he was the Mayor and not the colored man he might not feel as much humiliation and shame. In one sense a colored man is just as good as a white man for the law saves he is; but he has not the same amount of injury under all circumstances that a white man would have. Maybe in a colored community where white men were held in great distainer, he might be more injured but, after all, that is not this sort of a community. In this sort of a community I dare say the amount of evil that would flow to a colored man from a charge like this would not be as great as it probably would be in a community well aware of that fact. After all, the fact that he is a colored man was just as much a fact as anything else.
Congratulation at St. Phillip's Church.
On Thursday evening, March 31, the bishop of the diocese made his annual visit to St. Phillip's P. E. Church, on West 25th street, and administered the site of confirmation.

Through the City Mission and Church Extension Society of St. Mark's M. E. E Church. Rev. W. H. Brooks pastor, of which Dr Frank Mason North is secretary, a contract has been signed for the purchase at $92,000 one of the finest sites for church location.

The location is the southwest corner of 138d street and Lenox avenue. There are eight houses on the property, two of which will be remodelled and used for church purposes, and the remaining will be used.
This means another church for Negroes in New York, and gives promise in a few years to be as large and as influential as St. Mark's. The Rev. F. A. Cullen, her associate pastor, has direct oversight of the new enterprise.
Mother Zion Notes.
Mother Zion's spacious edifice was jammed to the doors last Sunday night when the United Sons and Daughters, Brothers and Sisters of Moses, met for their forty-third grand annual thanksgiving sermon under the auspices of King David Past Supreme Officers' Council No. 1, with E W Hamilton, past deputy grand master, acting as master of ceremonies Rev Bolden preached a powerful sermon replete with forbid utterances. Several persons joined the church and $97 was raised during the day On Easter Sunday $310 was raised during the day, and to Mrs Minnie Johnson is due the credit of raising one hundred and seventy-five dollars of that amount. Mrs Johnson set a blish mark in individual effort
At the morning service a highly appreciative audience was present to listen to a most interesting sermon by Rev. Bolden. At the J C Price Lycoum a volunteer program was presented by the president, Mr Hammond Mrs. Eva Porter and Mrs. S C Jackson played solos and the contributions of Mr. Jackson of Tarrytown were good, and the singing of Miss Eva Palmer and Mrs. Ethel Calloway Fearing evoked warm praise. The J. C Price Weekly was edited by Miss Nellie Caldwell as usual, and was quite interesting. On next Sunday at 4:30 p.m. a literary program will be rendered. J. J, T. Jackson was the principal speaker at the Christian Endeavor.

On the third Sunday in April Mrs. Laura McAdoo Craner will have charge of the program of the J. C. Price Lyceum. On the first Sunday in May Mrs. Oliver H P Belmont will speak on the subject "Shall the Women Vote?"
Sunday last was a memorable occasion at St Philip's P E Church, because of its being probably the last Easter festival celebrated in the church building on West Twenty-fifth street, where the congregation has worshipped for the past quarter of a century. Prior to the regular Easter sermon at the 11 o'clock service, the rector, the Rev Hutchens C Bishop, stated that he had two important announcements to make to the large and expectant throng of parishioners who filled every available space. The first announcement was that the contract had been entered into for the erection of the new church edifice, on the uptown site, and the matter was in the hands of the building committee of the, vestry. The second announcement was that the corporation of Trinity Church had cancelled and released the mortgage held by it on the property of St Philip's Church. The mortgage was for $11,000, and had been in existence for over seventy years, although drawing no interest. This generous action of the Trinity corporation releases St Philip's, in common with many other churches in the city, from the legal obligation of such mortgages. After the sermon on the theme of the Resurrection, came the high celebration of the Holy Communion, with the rector as celebrant in full eucharistic vestments, assisted by the curate, Rev E W Daniel. The music was rendered by the vested male choir under the direction of choirmaster, with orchestral accompaniment. The offerings during the day amounted to about $900.
St. Philip's Guild to Give Charity
Benefit for Parish Home.
What promises to be the most interesting and entertaining event of the season is the program being arranged for the annual Post-Lenten musical entertainment to be given by St Philip's Young Men's Guild at Palm Garden Friday evening, April 15. As a departure from the recitals of former years where professional talent was heard at their best, the management will present an array of amateur talent whose efforts will be taxed in providing our patrons an evening of diversion and fun. The first part of the program should not be missed by any one whose soul is not so dead they have not heart for humor. These entertainments given annually are for the benefit of St. Philip's parish home, an institution where the aged and infirm of our race are housed and cared for. Believing that a generously charitable public ever ready to make themselves and infirm have made them wards of charity will not be unmindful of the opportunity hereby given to assist the guild in its laudable effort to help the afflicted in distress.

April 6—A matter of no little concern to the people of Washington is the Peters bill now up before Congress and favorably referred to the same by the commissioners of the District of Columbia advocating a change in the organization of the public school system at the capital, abolishing the Board of Education and the Board of Charities and appointing a director of education at a salary of 87,000, invested with the power of appointing the superintendent of public schools and supervising his administration as well as that of his subor-
different new form of organization as advocated is being strenuously urged on the one hand from without the school system and as strenuously opposed by those within and outside their own pupilizers. The system forward is about the same as used in Cleveland, O. up until 1948, when it was abolished there. It is calculated to work excellently so long as the director is a good man and well as the teacher is a good man in Cleveland case. The second director in Cleveland, however, became unpopular in the eyes of the business men and society leaders of that business and they arose against him and abolished him in favor of a torment in kind, is now being taught through the Poters bill for Washington. If eventually passed, it is not thought that the bill will be effective before the year 1911-1912. The measure occupies the centre of discussion in educational circles at

NASHVILLE CHURCHMAN HONORED.
Pastor and Editor Given Complimentary Function on Anniversary —Program.
Nashville, Teen, March 29 —The call that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones."
—Shakespeare
Thus is quoted a fact that hardly admits of denal, but the several hundred good members of the First Baptist Church of this city seem determined to reverse this custom, at least, this view was most vividly impressed upon the mind of your correspondent on the occasion of the crowning church function of the season given in honor of the tenth anniversary of the pastorate of that church by Rev Dr W S Ellington last Monday night. For the last ten years for Ellington, who is known as one of the most eloquent and learned pulpit orators in Tennessee, has led this large and popular congregation, it having been enlarged and strengthened steadily year by year under his effective leadership.
A short and highly appreciated program was presented in the church property, showing the very healthy activities at present prevailing in all of the churches of the church and the church of the Church Choir, while Mrs Mollie Seay spoke on the Ladies' Aid Society. Prof J D Cressswain's subject was The Sunday School. Miss L J Chambers spoke on Dr Ellington. Prof J D Cressswain spoke on the Barnen Chass, and Dr A M Townsend's subject was The Negro Minister". Mrs H A Cameron and R W Hays each rendered solos that were highly appreciated and in fact all of the participants distinguished them out of audience.
The church was beautifully illuminated and decorated for the occasion Palms forma and cut flowers were propped up in a color scheme being red and white, and a large aerialplane suspended from the ceiling gave a most picturesque scene and perhaps, there was never before in the history of church entertainment, a large aerialplane was shown of beauty and artistic deformations were so masterfully blended as on this occasion. Few have attended and enjoyed a more charming and elaborately decorated church than was held in the Sunday School department of the church. The guest list numbered several hundred persons, each seemed to remember the occasion was in coleterth anniversary as pastor, and the evening's pleasures were characterized by a charming informality. Here a profuse decoration of cut flowers, forms and palms was also to be seen, and the church still carried out in the luncheon appointments, the menu consisting of

ROOSEVELT IN CAIRO.
Colonel Roosevelt, after emerging from the African jungle and desert in his first and notable address, that before the students of the University of Egypt at Cairo, revealed himself the same great and courageous statesman of former days. Taking up the crux of the Egyptian situation he went straight to the bedrock of their conditions. Doubtless his address will be of lasting benefit both to the English government and their Egyptian subjects. Braving the fierce wrath of the radicals who later made a demonstration against the spirit of his address, he bade this mixed and Negroid nation to bide their time, laying firm hold while upon the fundamentals of self government and of progress.
The younger and radical elements are chafing under English rule. The masses are making little progress, hampered as they are by their tropical climate and favored too much by the rich resources of their native land. They are hindered further by a religion whose principle teepets are idle meditation, veneration for outgrown customs and methods, and philosophic subtleties. There is an inordinate ambition among the Egyptians for soft political berths and labor is despised. Mr. Roosevelt properly put his finger on the situation when he said:
Mere intelligence itself is worse than useless unless it is guided by an upright heart with strength and courage, a strong will, courage, manliness and self-respect are more important than mental subtlety. An honest, courageous thing in any country where his usefulness depends chiefly on his ability to express the wishes of the population, is a fragment of the leadership, where the business man, the land owner, the engineer, the man of technology, knowledge—men of a hundred different generations the average type of leadership.
No people have permanently amounted to anything whose only public leaders were clerks, politicians and law-coursing of a substantial education, whether by a group of individuals or a people, is attained only by progress as a unit. You can no more make a man a teacher than to do the main curriculum of studies than you can make a people fit for self-government by giving them a paper constitution. The training of an individual, in the world, is a matter of years, and the training of a nation to fit it successfully to fulfill the duties of self-government is not a matter of a decade or two, but of generations.
While this address was delivered to and for the benefit of Egyptians, it has a peculiar fitness for the Negroes of America. It will please neither the radical Egyptians nor radical Negroes. But Mr. Roosevelt is profoundly right when he says politicians are necessary only as the spokesmen and that the men of pursuits are the warp and woof of any people. Independence and equality must be founded on worth.
LIBERIA'S FUTURE
High indeed is the compliment to Liberia contained in the report of the American Commission transmitted recently to Congress by the State Department. It gives the lie direct to the pitiful tales told by the designing European enemies of the African Republic whose territory they would completely gobble and whose rich resources they would exploit. It refutes the slanders of the Negrophobists who pounced upon Liberia's appeal for help as only another evidence of the black man's utter incapacity for self government
The people of Liberia, the commissioners say, have never been revolutionary Liberia, today, is not bankrupt Her citizens have not only advanced in civilization but have done much toward advancing the tribes "In the presence of that great mass of unvillified 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". But these untutored and inexperienced Negro pioneers set down in the midst of overwhelming barbarous tribes have not only had to struggle against their internal problems. They have been thoroughly beset by England on the one side and France on the other. If America should ever extend a
strong, helping hand to a weak and struggling Republic, that time is now and Liberia is the nation in need. Liberia is literally the foster child of America. She was established by the aid and influence of the United States and she was popped by freedmen from this country By an express agreement in the early days America committed herself to render her succor in the time of need Liberia has shown herself most worthy of assist- and this is her critical time. Her future is in the hands of America America can hardly do less than accept this opportunity and fulfill her responsibility.

THE BATHS IN BALTIMORE
In a recent issue we discussed the agitation by disgruntled politicians of Baltimore for the abolition of the splendid Argyle avenue Bathhouse for Negroes. They raised the issue on the score of the lack of appreciation by the colored people of the Oriole City Taking their garbled and partial figures we said they apparently made out their case, which indeed was most regretful and reflecting if true. Since that time we are pleased to state we have learned the source of the annus of the Democratic demagogues. We have also received since that time the masterly and complete refutation of the charges by Councilman Harry S Cummings. Charging point blank Bath Commissor Demils with untruthfulness as to the excessive cost of baths for Negroes and showing their gratifying increase of patronage for each year since the establishment of the baths, Mr Cummings says.
I leave it to any fair minded person—does this show spill failure or lack of it? Mr. Throodore M. Benkendock, secretary of the commission, states in a circular letter as late as February 1, 1910, that this spill occurred on December 1905, the house has had over 100,000 patrons. "Does this show that this much needed and well patronized public benevolence neat and beautiful front and be given smaller quarters for the accommodation of 30,000 and more patrons as well as the 10,000 this too, in face of the fact that the commission in its twelfth annual report, page 6, when the patronage was successful but stated that they expected to erect twelve more bathing cabins as they were taxed for accommodations on Saturrdays and Sundays." Surely Baltimore will not listen to the prejudiced appeals of her short-sighted Negrophobists to deprive the Negroes of the bathhouse so badly needed and so much appreciated. Mr. Cummings has well vindicated the cause of the Negroes of Baltimore and Mr. Dennis will have to seek some other method to wreak his vengeance.
SINS OF THE FATHERS
New Orleans is said to be almost literally on the verge of hysteria since the publication of the articles on Miscegenation in the South in a recent issue of a large popular magazine. There the family skeleton of New Orleans was dangled before the curious eyes of the world and now the Crescent City hangs its head in despair, shocked and shamefaced. The well informed writer said that there are only 1,000 pure Caucasian families in the city and these with all the others have begun to dig up their family trees to see which is which. Some are leaving Lousiana and they are not saying why. The Catholic church record books are being closely watched and there's a reason
Many young women raised in convents have been adopted in white families have found that their mothers were colored and there's no help for it. In short, general confusion has followed and the end of it no man can see
We can only counsel those New Orleans families who didn't know they are colored and those families who have known it, in many cases for nine generations, that they are no better and no worse to-day than they were before the expose. Verily the sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children of the third and fourth generations. But what's the use? The children of three or four generations hence will have the same complaint to make

MR. TAFT AND LIBERIA
We have already discussed the report of the Liberian Commission. We wish, however, to now call attention to the interest which President Taft has manifested in Liberia. Not only because of his recent special message to Congress dealing with this report, but because of his interest in sending the American Commission to Liberia. If Congress will heed the recommendations of President Taft, Liberia will be speedily helped, and incidentally we would add that in helping the Liberians ten millions of Negroes in America will be pleased

Va., who celebrated her 100th birthday Tuesday holds the record, according to the Springfield Republican, as the mother of the largest number of civil soldiers, with fourteen of her boys on the Union side and two on the Confederate side. Mrs. Brandon's boys were apparently all reared right, but two of them went wrong.
SUPREME COURT REDERMED.
Justice McCall has redeemed the Supreme Court of the State of New York from the infamy of race prejudice cast upon it by the action of Justice Dugro last Fall That latter day Dred-Scott justice set aside the verdict of $2,500 given George W Griffin, a porter against Daniel M Brady for false arrest and imprisonment on the ground that a colored man does not receive the same injury from arrest as a white man. This bald and bold dictum was immediately appealed to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. There it was sent back to the Supreme Court before Justice McCall for trial Charging the jury in the latest trial Justice McCall gave this memorable rebuke to the unworthy justice.
The tribunal of Justice has nothing to do with the color of a man's race in the jury to return a verdict on the evidence in accordance with your oath without considering in any way the race or color of this defendant.
This is a clarion note which the stalwart justice strikes as rare as it is refreshing. Not only New York but the entire nation and especially the North should take heed. Instead of this clear and patriotic recognition of right and justice and the Constitution, we find all too general to-day a weak and compromising deference to that silly Southern sentiment. Either the Negro is covered by the Constitution or the color line should be written in its bill of rights. Either the United States is and will remain a republic where character and not color is the test, or America should confess once for all to the outside world that her government is a failure. A generation has passed since slavery. The rule of race prejudice should now be on the wane. Justice McCall's decision has placed New York in its proper light before the country and the world. He has redeemed the Empire State's Supreme Court from the blight of Dugro.
TWO INNOCENT MEN
TWO INNOCENT MEN.
The acquittal last week at Charleston, West Virginia, of two Negroes accused of rape and rescued by Governor Glasscock last November from the fury of a mob, illustrates the barbarous injustice and error of lynch law. Three colored men of Gassoway in Braxton county were charged with criminally assaulting Mrs. Alfred Rockbold. One of them was shot and killed by a quickly gathered mob of white loafers. The excellent governor of West Virginia immediately called on the state troops. Under the personal direction of Governor Glasscock they arrived in the nick of time to save the two remaining accused from an even worse fate. They were arraigned in due course of time before the courts. Eminent white lawyers, friends of the colored men, became interested in their case and last week they were discharged with not a sentencia of real evidence brought showing their guilt.
Comment on this particular case is unnecessary. Just such cases in Southern roots are the exception rather than the rule. The Negro may find some consolation in the fact that Southern whites suffer more in the end from the persecution of the blacks than the blacks do themselves. South Carolina whites, to-day, though they are in the proportion of two to three to the blacks, comm more than one-half of that state's murders. Crimes, like chickens, come home to roost.

LETTING THE SOUTH ALONE
Mistake That Splitters on Constitution Will Come Around, Says Globe.
Public opinion as to the nullification of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution has been anesthetized by the plausible appeal that it was the Constitution. The word has been to let alone the States that split on the Constitution, that these States are populated good people, and that let alone the States that consistently collude the spitting habit. Such has been the prattle of dough-face sentiment, coupled with the assertion that outsiders do not understand the suffrage question.
This manifestation of Calhounism in a new form may not be very convincing, but one excuse is as good as an anecdote. Calhoun was an earlier figure that the delegates become property and educated there is growth of the determination not to accord them equal rights.

STATE CAPITALS THAT MOVED.
Jealousies Often Caused Change of Seats of Government.
Local feaulouses existing between towns explain the shifting of certain capitals, while another reason, which was the establishment of capitals in country districts in early times, was found in the definite boundaries of the States concerned. All of the original States were subdivisions of former territories, and the capital was but most of the Western and Southwestern States were subdivisions of former territories, and the capital would be found decidedly inconvenient when the new boundaries were fixed. The Territory of Michigan, for instance, included a part of Northwestern Ohio and a part of Southwestern Ohio was admitted to the Union in 1802, but the northwestern counties were not annexed to it until 1836.

"DON'T BE COUNTED IDLE"
Little Rock Daily Endorsing Jones,
Says Race is Making General
Advance.
In his annual address to the Negro
Business Mona Association that week
Septiplio Jones called attention to the
matter that he had counted as accurately ten years ago as the
whites and he urged upon them the
great need of co operating with the
the end that they he accurately counted.
But he struck the keynote when he told the Negroes not to be counted as idle, but to go to work and secure emancipation and be able to say to the conus emancinator when he calls that they are employed at some good, honest, or in office at any time, and just such Negroes as Septiplio Jones Booker T Washington and a few more that sort in the South are responsive to the Negroes in making this country.
If they will all heed the advice given by such leaders as Jones, and go to work, the race problem in this country
It is idleness that is the "dovil's workshop" for a Negro or a white man to work with. It is the Negroes out of the class of lofens and criminals, if it inaptures within them the desire to advance as they desire. If it creates within them an ambition to do something and be something, the opportunity is here for them, and it is the desire to put forth the right sort of effort. Such advice as that given by Jonas ought to stimulate the races to higher effort and progress—Arkansas Democrit

Show me thy light! Let not my weaked eyes
Miss the fresh glory of life a passing day.
But keep the light of morn, the sweet surprise

The best of gifts thy best of saints have had
With the great joy of Christ my heart will

He was not a maniac. A mob formed and stormed the very citadel of justice, ran over the deputies, trampled the judge under foot and throw the man to the ground, and then hanged him.

POOR WHITES DISFRANCHISED
Prominent White Alabaman Sara Negro Elimination is Poor White Man's Burden.
This disfranchising and this suffragette intrigue was really proposed with design to disembowel all opposition to the machine Democracy and the actual effect of its operations has been not only to mow down practically all blacks as voters, but to eliminate a tremendous percentage of rural white so that in many counties in Alabama and counties in other Southern States the former anti-Democratic majority opposition has been reduced to a helpless and hopeless political minority.
As will be remembered it was in 1892 that the rural voters broke away from the machine Democracy in Alabama and in the race for governor, as between Kolb and Jones, the vote polled by Kolb, Independent, against Jones, Democratic nominee was the remarkable showing of 118,522 ballots. The facts are that Kolb polled an even higher vote, but the returns from the "black belt" were subject to manipulation. This large independent vote, polled by the fusion of Populists, Republicans and "Jefferson Democrat" was as large as is the present average voting strength of Alabama under the existing voting system.
Contest Not Permitted.
When Kolb was counted out in Alabama, so well did the organized Democracy have the local State situation in hand, he could not enter a contest for the office to which he was admittedly elected and as admittedly counted to the Democratic Legislature but not seen it. The law providing for a contest for State officers. The very idea of such a this Democratic democratic. The old regime was in the middle, and did give whatever majority we needed to annul the votes of who men in the rural counties. All the required was the sending a word!

Under the operations of "The Alabama plan," with its voluntary poll payment and cumulative poll tax sufficiency, rural whites have come to be disqualified as voters that the machine democracy has regained political control in Alabama State, for the existing election system has beaten down and repressed the common people into a political inertia south before the succession of Alabama slaves to contemplate there is no comparison except in the status of the non-slave-holding whites in Alabama State before the succession of Alabama slaves owner dominated the State and to the power of this political oligarchy the non-slave-holding whites stood at 250,000 whites of voting age a vote of 70,000 may dominate the State. Alabama is merely a grade above Mississippi, the system in these States as is the political standard of all those of the Southern States that have taken up the form of government. The best that may be said of it, in the light of liberty and justice, is that it is a glorious form of government, a form of government in institutional forms of law and born of an injustice that is perceptibly black voting down whites as well as blacks in rural whites as native of black striking at the Negro.

INCENTIVE IN NAVY FOR NEGRO
Writes to The Age Telling of Acts of Discrimination
ary of Them Mistreat Negro Sailors—
Opposed to Them Becoming Mechanics
of the Third Class.
Continual charges of discrimination in the Navy on account of color have been made by Negro sailors now in the emily of the Government since the publication in 1946. Not some months ago the article which showed that no Negro sailors were permitted to take part in the Hudson Fulton parade. The majority of sailors in telling of the acts of discrimination ask that their names be omitted, declaring that publicity would involve them in trouble. A letter was recently received by THE from a Negro sailor on one of the United States battleships anchored at San Francisco, in which he asserts that there is more prejudice in the Navy against the Negro than exists in the United States and cites several instances of treatment.
The letter
I have been reading your paper recent, about "Cincinnati's Dark Side." There is a dark side in the navy. I have been in the Navy now nearly two years and have a first-class record. The Army be some kind about the Negro in Navy. From my experience these seems to be more discrimination on account of color in the Navy than there is in the United States. There are at present two branches of work open to the Negro, the first is as officers' servants, and the other is "servant to the coal pile," that is, mess attendant and coal passer. Those are the only two branches they will allow him to ship for. He is not aware of the fact until he ships. There is no pleasure at all aboard the ship for him, he is only a part of the ship's company by name. If he wants to have his hair trimmed he has to go down in some passageway and carry along to a friend to borrow a friend and borrows the barbers clippers. Then they cut each other's hair.
"No Negro Carpenters Needed."
When I shipped in the Navy at Norfolk, Va., the officer in charge asked me what kind of work I followed. I told him carpentry and he informed me they did not need any carpenters, then to me I shipped as mess attendant third class, $22 a month, thinking that some day I could get a chance to change my to carpenter's mate, third class. Since then, however, I found out that they need carpenters every day, but colored men need apply.
There are a few old colored sailors in the Navy holding positions in other branches of the service but that's the thing of the past. The Navy has a tradition that sailors on board ship but they are supposed to fall in with the commissary department, although I have never seen them go ashore with the battalion. There they are. The Navy Negro and the treatment re receives from many of the officers will only help to make him a criminal. Often mess attendants entice sailors to commit crimes that standing in the pantry, no table provided, and that is what often starts sets of thefts
I have only mentioned a few
things that really exist in the
Navy.
POLITICAL ROW IN NEWARK.
East County Republicans After Commutative Session Elect Scotland. Special to The New York Act.
Newark, N. J. April 5 — The annual election last Thursday of a county chairman and officers of the Essex County Colored Republican Association was in occasion of unusual interest and political manoeuvring by the midcontents in the county on Monday evening, March 28, at Republican headquarters. There were about 200 voters a majority of whom were termed as regulars, and the minority called themselves insurgents, who had attended the election to carry their point of overriding the provisions of the constitution which reads, "That no voter would be permitted to vote whose name was not enrolled upon the identified of the association".

WIELDS POWERFUL INFLUENCE
Miss Ellenbeth C. Carter, President of National Association of Colored Women, Talks About Organisation—What the Women's Loyal Union Has Accomplished.
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.
Washington, D C, April 5—In addressing the Bethel Literary and Historical Association of the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church on "The Needs of the Hour," Miss Elizabeth C Carter, President of the National Association of Colored Women, declared that the association wields a powerful influence throughout this country. Her resentful of what is being done by the women of New Bedford, Mass., for the poor and aged elicited much amlause.
Miss Carter said in part
As far as the National Association is concerned, we are anxious that club work in the City of Washington shall be strengthened, and there is no other way that I am going to encourage and inspiration than to unite your forces in a solid club of women, lifting us we climb. In 1906, the National Council of Colored Women and the National Federation of Colored Women met in Washington to hold its meeting in the 19th Street Baptist Church, and the other, in the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church There was a committee of seven appointed from each of these organizations to draw up plans for a convention. The plans were written outgrowth was the National Association of Colored Women.
The organization was incorporated in 1804, under the laws of the State of Missouri, so that it can sue and be sued and can own property. I am glad to say at this time that it has not been sued, and the organization is divided into departments to further strengthen the work. We have the Juvenile Department, then there is the Rescue Department, which is a very important department as there are so many of our women who are being neglected. Then there is the Kid Department, then there is the Dance Department, we have been able to help one or two schools during the past two years in their work. There is also the Mothers' Department which endeavors to encourage women by holding mothers' meetings to instruct them in the care of children and to send children are sent regularly to school and in the proper condition. There is also a Music Department, and we are working to bring out this year a National musical song book to be used in our meetings. We are trying to discourage the rag time music that so many of our entertainments. We are trying to teach our people to love the beat music. Then there is the Tuberculosis Department.
I wish to say that the National Association wields a powerful influence throughout this country. You would be surprised to see the large amount of correspondence between the two departments we help in the different avenues of work.
In the studying the condition of the poor and the aged of New Bedford it dawned upon me that these people might be housed in one home called an Old Folks' Home The municipal government gave them food and fuel and paid rent for rooms for them I thought together and made comfortable in one home The club work in New Bedford had become cold We had $3 in the treasury.
A convention of the organization was called in Boston We decided to send one delegate with the $3 She heard the work that was being carried on in different parts of the country and she went back to work We reorganized our club under the name of the Womens Loyal Union
I made the suggestion to them that we have a home. They said we have no money, we have just given our last $3 to send a delegate to the company of the municipal government was taking care of six old ladies, and I thought if the white people could do so much for us we surely could do something.
I went to a colored lawyer in the city and he told me of a plan when I was going to get a home. He rented me a house for $1.50 per month in advance for six months. The next day I went to the bank and drew out $10^+ and paid him for the house. We went to work and got it all ready. We were to open on March 23.
After we got it ready, I went to each one of those old people and asked her to come to the house to live. Each one refused. Then we went out anywhere. There were $1000 in twelve rooms all fitted up nicely and nobody to go into it. We opened that home on March 25 with three of the most beautiful old people you ever saw in your life. We had a beautiful opening and fine fire. We have a new modern improved building. We have stock in the Chicago Milwaukee & St Paul Railroad also in a railroad company in Boston also in the elevated railroad of Boston, a home worth $10,000 and $9,000 in cash and things which would bring larger dividends than the local banks.

He was always loyal to his position, having served as deacon and his dear friend. He filled daily the qualities of a devoted follower of that which was good and true.

WHAT PART WILL THE NEGRO PLAY?
TWO movements were recently launched in New York City which should serve as an incentive to all self respecting colored citizens of the metropolis who hope in the future to effectively destroy many of the obnoxious un-American customs which have been boldly and flagrantly substituted for laws—laws on the statute books of the Empire State providing rights and privileges for people of color which we do not enjoy.
At a meeting of the Irish Fellowship Club last Sunday the "stage Irishman" was given a number of severe jolts and it was agreed by the members of the club to start a crusade against caricaturing the Irish race before the footlights, the consensus of opinion being that such misrepresentation was hurtful.
One of the principal speakers in discussing the "stage Irishman" said
The people of America owe it to common decency and to what the Irish have done for this country to abolish the "stage Irishman." You should work for this. You should not stop stopping the caricatures on boards, but the "stage Irishman" is an insult to Ireland. We are deeply religious people, we are not hard drinkers and resent being misrepresented wrongly on the stage and in the press. We cannot expect to be represented by the people of America, but if we had a national press it would be better, but the people of America should shun the "stage Irishman." Moved by the utterances of Dr Joseph Silverman of Temple Emanuel several days ago, the Jews of Greater New York have also come to the conclusion that their race is being too severely caricatured on the stage and have taken steps to put a stop to what they term an unfair and untrue representation of the Jew. In condemning the "stage Jew" Dr. Silverman in part
The 'stage Jew' is a stench in our nostrilla, a disgrace to the country, an insult to the Jew and a threat to our identity. We merely to cater to prejudice and to the box office receipts. Certainly the frivolous references and fine insinuations against the Jew deserve the contempt and derision of rightful people. We can ask rightful males to play and justice.
Citizens Should Raise Fund.
With the Irish asking the people of America to do away with the "stage Irishman" for the sake of common decency, and the Jew appealing to the spirit of American fair play and justice for the abolishment of the "stage Jew," the question arises, what is the Negro doing in this struggle for race upliftment? Will he sit idly by and watch the other races make a fight for fair play, or will he get on the firing line and demand that he be given more respectful consideration not only on the stage but in public places of amusement?
The Irish and the Jews are not raising an issue on the grounds of discrimination in the theatres because there is no drawing of racial lines against them. They are permitted to sit in any part of a theatre, and, therefore, are silent on that score. But if they were discriminated against in public places of amusement as is the Negro, it requires an effort to even contemplate that these two races would assume such a morbid and indifferent attitude in matters affecting their rights of citizenship as have the colored citizens of New York in the past.
Of course the Negro is also being unduly caricatured on the stage to-day, and particularly in vaudeville the words Negro and colored are rarely used in referring to members of the race, such expression of derision as "coon" being given a decided preference Insults of this character should be stopped and could be if proper steps were taken So could open violations of the Malby act, which are committed daily, he checked if the colored citizens of Great New York make up their minds to punish the offenders
Quite a number of letters have been received at The Age office from readers complimenting this paper on its fight against race discrimination in the theatres of New York. Some of the writers gushingly tell of their race pride and loyalty, and in the majority of instances the suggestion is made that a fund be raised to test the validity of the Malby act. Yet, strange to relate, not one of the writers so lavish in his protestations of race fidelity has come forward and agreeably shocked the dramatic idea of The Age by making a financial contribution toward raising such a fund
It is unlikely that well-wishers of the race will question the wisdom of the colored citizens of Greater New York raising a fund to be used for the express purpose of learning what the Malby act stands for. Neither is it believed that the realization of such a plan is beyond the realm of possibility. The subject that looms perplexing and complex is, who will be the first to act

as well as' suggest?
While suggestions are in order at this time, financial contributions are more preferable Remember that the Irish and Jews are up and dong, and that talk alone will not help our cause. Who will be the first to go on record as a believer and disciple of action instead of words?

RICHARD AND PRINGLE'S MINSTRELS
That we are still easily in the lead of Negro ministries is proven by the following from the Birmingham Age Herald of March 30.
Ministries does not appeal to one class of the剧院者 alone, but to all classes, because they are the driving force behind the decorated artistists in the boxes, and every one enjoys a minstrel show. That is why the Jefferson Theatre is so famous, away to all another theatre in town, and those who were lucky enough to get in were simply rewarded for their trouble. The beautiful velvet first part, the audience was spelbound at its unusual splendor. The program goes to the theater, unlike many other theaters, which strictly clean and refreshed. Not a suggestive word, song, joke or action nuds a place in the theater. The hands and well handled. Clarence Powell and Billy King are the stars of the first show. Dr. Smith, Will Washington and John White. The singing is well taken care of by Sydney Kirkpatrick, Major Daniels, Jake Smith and Billy King. All were good, and each one was recalled.
The old was opened by Fred W. Simpson, whose trombone solos have made him a star in Alabama comedy. The four in act that was a scream, and each member, Langford, White, David and Jake Smith, show rare talent. Powell, the old reliable, was on hand, and surprised his many admirers by having a brand new monologue that was an emphatic hit. Another new act was Billy King, better known now as Stylistic Billy. It was the first time that a monologue was graced and education of met dancing. The saxophone Four Simpson, Watkins and James is really a monoity that is well known in the country with an instrumental show. Show comes with an original act by Billy King which was very funny. A flicking string to the king tilt. Also a tugon named after his father, last week. We were glad to welcome him back. He tells us that the father still owns half the town which some day will own.
Lawson Recital at Washington
Washington, D.C. April 6 - The recital given Monday evening at Lincoln Temple by Raymond Augustus Lawson of Hartford, Conn. assisted by his wife, Martha, and his son, Mo and LAllegro Club of Washington was attended by a crowded house of the music-loving people. The artists had been so well announced by the Flask University Club, under whose great expectations had been created as to the musical treat in store.
The program of the evening not only met all expectations, but far exceeded the previous high water marks for musical feasts in this city. Mr Lawson, the thirty-three number in all, Nevertheless he was several times enced, so much did the audience enjoy the music diet he served. Mr Lawson's delicate touch, fine shading and intelligent insight, were some of the most noteworthy features of his wonderful performance.
Miss Westbrooke and A. Allogro Gloe Club ably supported Mr Lawson, the former with a charming lyric soprano and the latter with a talented Springumo' and Bohn's "Just Like Love Is the Rose," with such acceptance as to elicit an encore at each number. The Gloe Club with a well-bred volume of melody, gave complete satisfaction.
A large and appreciative audience attended the third annual violin reital by the pupils of David Irwin Martin, Browne School, and Blythe Broomy Rooms, March 31, with twenty pupils and twenty assisting artists. Mr. Martin furnished an entertainment of unprecedented interest and enjoyment to a large number of which was well received.
Special mention should be made of the school orchestra, which, with the assisting musicians, was augmented to thirty-five members. They responded to thirty-five assisting, who showed splendid musicianship in his reading of the classic masters. The program:
Overture, "Magic Flute" (Mozart), orchestra, Sonata (First Movement) (Hoffman), Frederic (Ceg, Eng), Sylvia (Delbrow), Percal Evans, Fantasia (Dancela), Theodore Brown, Prelude (Bach-Gounod), ensemble for entire school and assisting artists, Romance (Bloch), William Shepard, Fantasia, "Home, Sweet Dance of the Flowers (Channon) and Hungarian Dance No. 5 (Brahms), orchestra, Introduction and March (Dancela), Herbert Brown, Fantasia, "Last Rose of Summer" (Farmer), Don Dance, Marissa (Hasecko), Wlud Hammer, Alt Varni No. 2, Eugene Mars Martin; Concerto D-Major (Berlio); Theodore Gibson and orchestra, Perpetuum Mobile (Severn), ensemble for entire school and assisting artists, "Auld Lang

THE COLORED PERFORMER ABROAD
(By A. A. Haston )
From time to time the question is asked. What is the colored performer doing in Europe? In expressing my views on the subject I desire to have knowledge of the colored performer that I do not contend or dare say that the colored performer is not a success aboard, for we have quite a number who are working almost all the time and some of whom are booked for from one to three years ahead in winter. I wish to put before the mobile the many sacrifices performers have to make to succeed, and at the same time show why we so often hear persons who are not so successful declare that they are not so successful against the colored vaudeville every day owing to the large influx of Americans travelling through Europe each season.
I claim that Europe is the one place for an artist, but they will not accept the colored performer. There are too many over there already.
The white performers experience similar difficulties as the colored There is absolutely no difference or rather preference, shown between a white and a colored act and it both happen to a colored act and if anything the colored act is favored.
Any one who has had any experience travelling in Europe knows how much love an Englishman has for a white American. The unfortunate part of Europe has been flooded with a number of colored persons who have not been even good amateurs, who simply used the stage as a cloak in order to their plans in making a living otherwise. Both males and females have been guilty of such misconduct, and, as is usually the case, the entire colored profession has had to suffer for the misuse of the stage. Another fault with many of the colored theatrical people in India is that they seem to think it impossible to be a performer and at the same time a gentleman. On one blunt note, the stage comes off the stage with the praises and applause, that would be a credit to Harry Lander and within an hour or two afterwards he has been singing and the corner of offence especially to London.
It is time that the colored performer realize and appreciate the value of his position and salary. He should record his salary just as much after he has earned it as when he is fighting. In Europe people talk and if you have not got it you will put up such setting front as to convince them you have. For London is the most crowded city in the world to be taken in, as there are already thousands of native men in London. Europe adheres to the old saying: To him who hath shall be given. If you have the goods and know how to sell them you will get the work but don't come over here with something ordinary and expect to be a knockout. You do not be prepared for an easy possession. We have in Europe quite a number of successful artists who are a big success and a credit to the race. On the other hand we also have some of our beat performers of both sexes whose bad reputation is such that if they are equally credited to the other side the best of the pretty soft for the colored performer.
I know I shall be severely criticized by many, but I request the fair comments of experienced persons who have been abroad and if I have tried on the corpse of any one I have no apologies to offer only if the shoes fit it put it on, wear it if you may derive some good results. If not let it alone.

Big Athletic Meet a Success-Washington Quint Defeats Smart Set.
LAST Thursday evening the Fourteenth Regiment Armory was the scene of the largest and most successful public entertainment ever given in Brooklyn. It will be held present who can boast of her skill in the "City of Churches" long before the Brooklyn Bridge became a reality, that never in the history of Brooklyn has such a galaxy of colored persons assembled under one roof.
The official program designated the affair as an indoor athletic carnival, basketball tournament and assembly under the supervision of the Smart Athletic Club of Brooklyn. The successful manner in which the athletic program was conducted, the interest shown by the onlookers, as well as high character of the events argue well for big meets between colored athletic clubs in and about Greater New York in the future. There is no doubt that the public will乐呵呵 applaud the letts when conducted under the proper aupices.
Over two thousand persons saw the Washington Y. M. C. A. team defeat the Smart Set quint in a well contested game by the score of 20 to 17. The visitors have been winning from all sides the season, while it appeared as they would return to the capital city with a defeat added to their long string of victories.
In the first half the Smart Set team outplayed the Y. M. C. A. boys, putting up such a lively exhibition that at the end of the first half the score stood 20 to 17 in the second half, however, the visitors started in with a vim and made a number of baskets in succession. The locals players seemed to have used up most of their energy in the first half and were no match for their heavy adversaries, the score ending Washington Y. M. C. A. 20, Smart Set, 17.

The final of the 40-yard run was also on by William Murray of the Indian-Excelsior Athletic Club. R. Granger of the Smart Set Athletic Club was second and C. Gordon of the Century Club, third. Time 55 2-5 seconds. Following are the results of the trial heats. First heat won by C. Gordon, Century Club. J. H. Smallwood Sterling A C, second. Time 51 2-5 seconds. Second heat, won by R.

Time 55 4-5 seconds.
After the athletic program had been carried out dancing was indulged in until an early hour Friday morning. The Fourteenth Armory is certainly a place where many of the dancers upon leaving their homes were heard at the door to say good evening and good bye to one another in the same breath. Reports are still coming in regarding among those present. George W. Latimore, J. Hoffman W. and other Brooklyn burgers the affair in charge deserve much credit for pulling off the most successful public affair ever given in Brooklyn.

Ford's Hair Pomade
Fifty years of success have proved
the merits of this preparation.
What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair safer, more pliable and glossy. It also makes hair in it more fried and sired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory state and four bottles regular sizes are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle.
Ford's Hair Pomade
Vast improvement on all complicated systems now in use. The chart is adjustable to all sizes by most perfect measuring system. Adapable to all grades of work and so simple in this adanced cutting and fitting system that it may be learned in a few lessons.
