SETTLE RACE ISSUE AT HOME Leading Dailies Comment on Wail of Dissatisfied Negroes MAKE APPEAL TO EUROPE Influential Papers Assert That Calamity Howlers Have Made a Very Big Mistake HINT OF SPIRIT OF JEALOUSY The New York Sun Thinks the Letter a Curious Document and The World Regards it as a Strange Fulmination. Many of the leading papers of the country are commenting on the woeful wail recently sent out by a few Negroes asking Europe for moral support, and disagreeing with Booker T Washington relative to the condition of the colored people in America. Among the papers of influence that have discussed editorially the lamentations of this pessimistic band of calamity howlers are the New York Sun and the New York World. The Suq refers to the letter as "a curious document," while the World classes it as "a strange fulmination." The Sun's editorial The laurels of Booker T. Washington seem to make much too loud a rustling in the ears of some other colored citizens. Such is the first thought after reading the address published yesterday to Great Britain and Europe, signed by a number of more or less conspicuous Negroes. If we may so with no suspicion of impartinence, the tone of the document is that of the "exes," a class much given to crying "Ichabod," and mourning over the wickedness of the times. Among the signers are a "former chairman," a "former clerk of court," a "late United States Consul," a former Alderman, a man "for six years member of the Legislature of Ohio." an "exConsul," an "ex-Member of Congress." And there are two or three editors of colored papers and heads of colored organizations, naturally, if unconsciously, inclined to magnify the grievances of their clients. Irrespective of the propriety of looking to foreign sources for help which they cannot give, there is an ironic bitterness in appealing to Englishmen, whose color blindness is so notorious in Egypt and India, for instance. All this is mostly matter of taste. As to the substance of the grievances complained of—and there are real and great grievances—not all of them are peculiar to the colored race Lynching is a national diversion The kind entertainment of "scabs" is not confined to colored "scabs." This momentous race problem, economic political, social, affecting the whites even more than the blacks, is not advanced toward a settlement by heated rhetoric; nor is public respect, now felt by all intelligent and thoughtful whites for all industrious and useful colored citizens of good will, to be increased by a peevish and fruitless walling on the part of any of them. By diligence, by orderliness, by thrift, they will rise, as they are rising. However intellectual however accomplished these uninvited spokesmen may be, they are not helping their cause. By patience and perseverance and energy not by impotent lamentations, is the work of toleration of political equality of education, of religious and moral elevation and of material prosperity to be carried on and accomplished. The World's Views on the Subjec When colored men in the United States make a formal request to the people of Europe for political sympathy and assistance, that they believe they are well placed at home. Whether they are not, not much reflection is needed to convince them that they have made a mistake. A strange fulfilment here names of thirty two well known groves follows the tour which it has great Britain and the Continentowed purpose to prove statements that the nature is in process of relation with the world. Europeans of the world contests which the blacks will make political, social and industrial discrimination. If the distinguished honors be allowed upon Dr. Washington in Europe are responsible in any degree for this proclamation it must fulfil a mark for the founder of Tuskegee appears to hold his own at home is well abroad. If its authors enter in the idea that a formal request for interference by outsiders in our political affairs will help them here or else there, they go far to establish the The New York Age very auspicious of race inefficiency which they wiab to allay. which they wish to allow. Of the signers of this paper it is noticeable that nearly one-half boast of university degrees, several are lawyers, editors and physicians and many have held respectable official positions. It will be difficult for Europeans to understand how men who have enjoyed such distinction within fifty years of bondage can truthfully assert that they are making no progress. American citizens of the right sort do not wash their political linen at every town-pump in Europe and they do not hang it to dry upon every hedge on the world's highways. England, France and Germany know little and care less about our peculiar domestic difficulties, and good citizenship here will not seriously attempt to make their interest any keener. Our colored friends, for whom we have sincere respect, have been betrayed in some fashion into a blunder that reflects upon their nation as well as upon their race. Undeniably, the black population of the United States has just grievances. So also has the white population of the United States. Race prejudice is heer as it is in Europe, and blacks are not the only sufferers. There is brutal tyranny in industry, but the blacks are not the only victims. There are social limitations that are cruel and inexcusable, but the blacks are not the only ones against whom the gates are shut. This is a world in which true men give and take. It is a world in which all must make allowances. It is a world in which, after all, men are judged not so much by race or nationality or possessions as by personal merit. Otherwise, how could a Booker Washington, born a Virginia slave, have "stood before kings" and associated for the greater part of his life with the earth's greatest and best? We do not condemn the American men of color who have made this protest. We simply remonstrate with them. They are asking more than a white man's chance, and in the circumstances that is inadmissible. "I AM A SINGLE MAN" Christopher H. Lee 901 Grand avenue, is a single man without any domestic encumbrances. He has no one to feed and clothes but himself, neither does he have to be at home at a certain hour every evening for he is his own boss and can go and come as he sees it. And yet Mr Lee is greatly troubled in mind. He says he is being robbed in the wrong night by the public party and the unmarried ladies to invest him in believe him to be a married man. Mr Lee was at public known that he is free, care and doing good and is at liberty to wear any young ladies to whom he sentimental dishes prepared to serve that the danced in a similar turn of mind. It is true that he has been murdered but over a year he got the mtrummed bout of the hold him so rightly were seared, he is given the tool and if not supposed to howing he more harmed after a second time Mr Lee was divided from Agnes Lee in Boston May 11, 1902, on the dugge of desert. Despite the fact that he has the papers to show that he is a dayed man as well as a single man Mr Lee cums that someone interested in his affairs continues to circulate the report that he has a wife and family. He says he would not mind the unconscious activity of those busy ladies if the task did not affect standing with the ladies. But as such rumors cause him no little inconvenience, he feels deeply grieved The "Most Unkindest Cut of All" Mr Lee sustained the "most unkindest cut of all" last Friday evening when he called at the home of a young lady to escort her to the after party.

Dr. Lyon Deals With Question Before a Large Congregation NEGRO BONE OF CONTENTION His Presence in Methodist Episcopal Church Seems to Prevent Unionism of White Methodists. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Baltimore, Md., Dec 6 - What is thought to be the first move on the part of the 300,000 colored members of the M I Church to separate themselves from the white body was made last Sunday when Dr. Frnest Lyon, in preaching before a large congregation at John Wesley M. E. Church, discussed the existence of race prejudice in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and of the possibility of the colored members forming an independent body Dr Lyon spoke as follows Segregation is apparent everywhere. Not only in state, but in church, not only in America, but even in Africa, the natural habitat of the black man. In the British colony of Sierre Leon, the whites have vacated the valleys, leaving them to the blacks, while they have escaped to the mountains. The same method is adopted all throughout that vast continent, where the Anglo-Saxon and the Teuton are to be found. The same is also true in many of the centres of Europe, as it relates to the Jewish race. A Strange Coincidence It does seem strange that while the city fathers in Baltimore are having under advisement at this time a segregation measure which seeks to deprive free men from the constitutional right to live and own property, wherever they can that the church fathers should also be considering measures for federation and organic union of Methodism among the whites in the United States, and consequently among the whites wherever Methodism is found. Let us hope that the Spirit of Christ will prevail, and that the church will set the state an example by the wisdom of its course. The Black Man Again. The Black Man Again. As the dissensions of the commission are held under cover, the only choice for information is through the press. The press announces that the Black man is the barrier. Enough of the sufferings of the secret sessions was heard by reporters to indicate that the ancient Negro prejudice is the contention still and will continue to nurture together of the Witches bodies. In 1874 the Black man was the wade which dissolved the Union. Will be in 1910 after a lapse of 20 years will inuch assume the role of steward of the Black in the way of famer. Will be sent to re-examine what is present in the ocean of family troubles? Will be of an institute nature within its curring are so his self-sacrifice. Has the Witch church which for 20 years was a great sacrifice of stored Christianized life should defend him no claim to his possession? If he withdraws from the Union, so constituted in a decent peace, and honorable way, will relieve his sufferers from continual irritation among their own people, and will bring about the reunion of mother and father, will the children show good sense by refusing to do what the children about that happy event? With the children about the patience of their parents and so their pates the chastisement which might discredit them if they are not already discredited in the estimation of their fellows. These are serious questions which ought to arrest the attention of 300,000 colored communicants and their adjoining landed churches in church popery, known as the Methodist Episcopal Church. More will be said at another time. BRILLIANT SOCIAL FUNCTION Mr. and Mrs. Philip Payton, Jr. Entertain Dr. and Mrs. Booker T.

Special to THE NEW YORK AQB. Frankfort, Ky., Dec 6—Eleven Negroes, convicted of the murder of one white man and the wounding of another, were pardoned out of the pen-tentary at one stroke of the pen last week by Gov Willson. The Negroes were convicted of the killing of a traveling man named Berry, from Louisville, following an attempt to lynch a Negro in Webster County. There was a clash between some white men and a crowd of Negroes, and in the shooting the white man was killed and another wounded. The case attracted much attention in Western Kentucky. The pardoning of eleven men at one time is the largest number of pardons ever issued at one time in the history of Kentucky, except on the occasion that Gov Blackburn pardoned a large number of convicts because the pen-tentary was overcrowded. The following statement of the case, on which he has his reasons for granting the eleven pardons, was given out by Gov Willson. On the application for the pardon of Harve, or Harry, McDowell, Will Brown, Tom Crow, Edwin Bishop, H Williams, Henry Racket, Carl Towery, Labe Crow, J N Harnhill, Floyd Ross and Budd Newcomb, sentenced in the Webster Circuit Court at the July term, 1908, to imprisonment for seven years in the intentional on the charge of inslausges. It is a sorrow to every man who honors and loves Kentucky that such a story as this could be true in any county in Kentucky, and it is a matter of especial regret that such a story could be true in a good county like Webster county. colored man of nature years had a quarrel with Smith and Children, a white man, a puty marshal of the town of Providence, whom McDowell, it is claimed to be a dred in undue into man with a colored girl. McDowell thus called to expose Children's and Children's third-to-third to kill McDowell if he did expose him. Children at tacked McDowell who favored him and went to a drive where Children's allowed him to tried to shoot him. McDowell could not hold Children's if he did, but that he would have to be a man in the event limited at his own service. McDowell Moved Away There was a telephone desk, office and a desk in Providence and the police office to guard against the molt sent McMowell to Dixon in the county seat of Wellesboro counties for safe keep. The some might a mob of men then forty people (whitemen) was tried at Providence to go to Dixon to molt McMowell McMowell so Harve McMowell telephoned to Dixon and the result was that Jacob McMowell was taken from the jail to Dixon to talk in Hennessy but he could not know how the and in company with other young colored men applicants here for parard, set out to go to Dixon to secure the removal of Jacob McMowell to Hennessy and to offer to Ford I am from the mob if the removal could not be made. The mob formed at Dixon had with it two commercial travelers, Berry from Louisville and Carter from Tennessee, who reached Providence that night and schooled the mob when it started from Providence to Dixon. They were in no way connected with Children or with local affairs. Their friend George Holschbaw, with whom one of them was to travel, was appended to them to go with them and refused saving him had no business at Dixon but they went along. The mob had two commercial travelers had pre way and in getting over the fence one of them caught his gun in the wife in some way and it went off and shot Haver McDewell in the leg. The discharge of this gun was the signal for an attack by the mob in the road upon Negroes and several guns were fired. No one was in defense and in that defense Carter was shot and has recovered. Berry was shot and died later Victim Member of Mob. The press dispatches at the time indicated that two traveling salesmen in a buggy were waylaid and shot by a Negro mob. The evidence shows beyond doubt that these two men themselves part of a lawless mob going to Dixon to lynch a prisoner in the county jail in the charge of the Commonwealth, and themselves guilty of a felony at the time that they were shot. There is no pretense that they had any business in Dixon or any reason to go to Dixon except with this mob and there is no pretense that this mob had any other purpose or reason to make the long trip to Dixon except to murder Jacob McDowell take him out of the care and custody of the Commonwealth, and lynch him. Therefore, no person in this mob is entitled to any sympathy or consideration. On the contrary, every person in it was guilty of a felony and ought to be in the penitentiary, but no one connected with that mob is in the penitentiary and only these Negro men, who were not lawbreakers, who were (Continued as Pare 8) NEW VOCATIONAL SCHOOL Washington to Have Public School Where Trades Will Be Taught—A Two Years' Course—Will Open Next September.

English Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS BUILDING SOLD UNDER HAMMER Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company Loses Property SELLING PRICE $45,000 White Corporation Bids In Building at Foreclosure of Mortgage Sale Last Friday Stockholders Failed to Raise Desired Sum — New Owners Have Fifteen Years' Lense on Ground. Last Friday the building owned by the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, located at Forty-sixth street and Eighth avenue, was sold at a mortgage foreclosure to Albert C. Bachman for $45,000. The company was unable to meet the first mortgage amounting to $26,535 30. Back taxes amounting to $4,186 22 were also held against the property.

Recently the stockholders of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company have been urged to help the concern out of its financial straits, and meetings have been held at which many pledges were made by stockholders to advance various sums to the company to prevent the sale of the building. The officers found it impossible to raise the desired amount, however, and last Friday's sale was the result The building at Forty-sixth street and Eighth avenue was the most valuable piece of real estate held by the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company.

Regular Correspondence of THE AOR. Washington, D. C. December 7 — In the District Court of Appeals a few days ago Chief Justice Shepard handed down the opinion that Isabel Wall the eight-year-old child of Stephen Wall colored, of Brookland, D. C. must be considered as colored for all purposes of school classification, and thereby taxed the racial status for school children within the confines of the National Capital. The court held that any person having notoriously and apprehensible admixture of Negro blood is a "colored person," and thus excluded the Wall child from attending the white Brookland school when she asserted that she was but one-sixteenth Negro. The case has excited no little interest in political and social circles at Washington and will probably go up for a hearing before the Supreme Court at a later date. Isabel Wall was refused admittance to the school in Brookland by the principal, her action was upheld by Superintendent T. Stuart and by the board of education by a vote of 5 to 3. Mary Mary Church Terrell strongly protested against the board's decision. The argument as brought forward by the witness for the Wall child be summarized as follows: "Because of the failure of Congress to define the word colored in its legislation providing for the separating of white and colored children, it devolved as a duty upon the board of education to determine what children are white and what children are colored whenever the institution artizes. The petitioners hold that the word 'colourless' be given its popular significance and Negro blood combining in one to render a person colored." Regarding this contention Chief Justice Shepard said: It must be remembered that the learned trial justice had that of the child physical characteristics, which afforded ocular evidence suggestive of aught save the Caudanian child's delusive test of race, and based his conclusion that the petitioner is colored upon the fact that she has presumed more than one-eighth and not less than one sixteenth. It is urged that a hardship will be attached to the petitioner, and it may be however, that greater丝 would result from a different one. Be that as it may, our province to interpret the legislation, not to touch it. The colored Young Women's Christian Association has moved to its new home on T street in LeDroit Park, which it is purchasing as a permanent home, having then previously located in the Miner Building in Washington. The home contains ten rooms and the lot is large enough for prodigious building when the association shall desire to rebuild The annual Y W C A bazaar will be held at the new home. December 12 to 17 The publication of that part of the President's Message relating to the District of Columbia has opposed the question of public education has opposed the question of public social unrest at the capital during the last few years. The President insists that the cost of maintaining the schools here must be made up. He further declares that a mistake was made a few years ago when the board of education was created with the power of appointment to the same vested in the District of Columbia. He suggests which, if carried into effect, will do away entirely with a board of education, create a director of education and a board of visitors and trim the expenses of the double white and colored room here down to their smallest limits. It is said that the matter will be threeded over in Congress during January and February before the Congressmen who were well acquainted with the issues not re-elected, have given up their seats. The President's references to the public schools here are quoted as follows: do not think the present control of the school system of Washington commends itself as the most efficient and economical and thorough instrument for the carrying on of public instruction. The cost of education in the District of Columbia is excessive as compared with the cost in other cities and appears that the results are in general more satisfactory. The average cost per pupil per day in Washington is about 38 cents while the average cost per pupil per American city is only comparable with Washington in population and in standard of education is about 265 cents. "If I may say so there seems to be a lack of definite plan in the expansion of the school system and the erection of proper economy in the use of these that indicates the necessity for the concentration of control. All plans for the improvement and expansion of the school system are with the school board while the limitation of expenses is with the district. I think it would be much better to put complete control and responsibility in the District Commission and then provide a board of school visitors to be appointed by the South Carolina District or by the President from the district. Districts of Washington who represent local needs shall meet and make recommendations to the Commissioners and to the superintendent of education—an educator of ability and experience should be an appointee responsible to the District Commissioners." Local interest in colored circles concerns around the discussion of the proposed creation of the board of visitors to the present citation does not mean that the public schools will be subject to regulations of the public schools and whether the whole system of colored and white schools will suffer from the exercise of economy or be regulated equally by the proposed action in administrative efficiency. Much interest has been aroused at Washington in the announcement that the Corcoran Art Gallery will give an exhibition this month of the work of H O Tanner, the well-known colored artist, now residing in France. Mrs. Tanner is now in America and has visited the capital recently to see about the installment of several of the great painters' masterpieces. It is that the Corcoran Art Gallery has secured this exhibition after years of scorc and it is expected that a large number of colored people will view Tanner's work.

FOOLISH FEAR: A Philadelphia publication edited by colored men has started a very great deal of unnecessary and foolish fear among the editors of the Negro race by assuming to saint danger to the 15th Amendment to the Constitution through Democratic control of Congress. Even so steady and wise a newspaper as the Nashville Globe "got skecered" two columns, worth, and wailed the bitter lamentations of fear gone drunk. All this is foolish, and colored men who have no more to do than to stir up the people by imaginary wars are no better than the white demagogues of the South—the Vardamans, Tillmans, Hoke Smiths and Jeff Davies—who have used the saddle of "repeal" on the horse of political ambition to ride into-power because to an empty head and a wagging tongue it was more convenient than thought. There is no ground to fear that the amendment will be repealed, now or in the future. The Democrats had control of Congress as late as 1893-95, and they sought no such ends. Colored editors do not think enough to reflect that all the Democrats do not come from the slave States; a great many come, from the free States, and those that come, from the free States are usually more concerned about the rights of man than are many Republicans. Henry Geoge is a Democrat; so is Fitzgerald, and Sulzer, and many another, including thirteen from Indiana, and as many from Ohio. Who among us is not ready to speak up for the patriotism and fairness of these men, and those of their friends who stand with them upon every question of human rights. "Bad Tom Heflin, "Chops" Hardwick and their stripe do not control Congress, nor do they control all the Southern Democrats, many of whom, members of Congress, would be first among those to oppose any assault against the blood-sealed amendments that gave men liberty and paved the way for the widest possible freedom for all. We ought to think more and talk less. We ought to give ourselves over to using every opportunity for advancement, losing no precious time in fighting evils that do not exist, but rather using all the time in a ceaseless war to arouse the people against grave dangers within. THE AGE stands for every right, in the North and in the South, for all men, white, black and brown. THE AGE, however, is anxious that the foundation shall be laid well, that we shall win friends by that power that draws men to a great cause, that we shall understand the difference between empty complaint and manly protest, and that as fast as opportunities of American citizenship, like which the Negroes have, nowhere on top-side of the globe, come to us, we shall be able to use them for ourselves and for the children. Within a few days the 100th anniversary of the birth of Charles Sumner will he held everywhere throughout the country. We have had celebrations of Whittier, of Garrison and Lincoln. Soon we shall be celebrating the memory of the greatest orator time every saw, measured by any standard—Wendell Phillips. As long as this nation recalls the deeds of men like these, of Grant and Sherman and their fellow-soldiers, the amendments will not be repealed. Foolish fear is worse than the disturbed fancy of a child. "Can Whining Win?" asks the Illinois Chronicle. We do not know, but so far it has won nothing. Gov. Joe Brown, of Georgia, has appointed ex-Gov. J. M. Terrell to the U. S. Senate. We wish Terrell could stay there, but Happy Hoke is in the saddle in Georgia, and Frank L. Stanton is not his prophet. President H. T. Kealing, of Quindare, announces that he will continue as the editor of the A. M. E. Review, and that, as heretofore, all correspondence intended for the editor will reach him at Nashville, Tenn. This is good news. The Ack does not see how Dr. Kealing can preside over a great college and edit so important publication as the Review at the same time; but this is an age of many wonders. It is hardly fair either to Dr. Kealing or the church to expect the General Conference to allow this arrangement to stand, and we believe it will not stand. Nevertheless it is good to know that for the present a great publication is to continue under the direction of a brilliant mind. ELSE THE NATION DIES. The meeting for Fisk University at the Engineering Building last week was in every respect worthy of the reputation of that great school, which was planted by noble-hands, and developed through years of patient sacrifice. Fisk is the very first university for the higher education of the Negro. "The achievements of its graduates are a constant source of pride to the institution, and satisfaction to those whose generous interest has made the work an ever-broadening influence in the life not only of the Negro, but, as President Gates said, of the nation also, Booker T. Washington has made nowhere a more urgent, or more eloquent appear for Tuskegee than he made, here for Fisk. The audience that listened to Dr. Stewart, the celebrated Nashville physician; Dr. Proctor, the famous Georgia preacher; Mrs. Hutchinson, the missionary, and to the superb singing of the Jubilee Quartette, will not, we are sure, unheed the call made for assistance, or disregard the opportunity offered for helping a great Mrs. Booker T. Washington, herself a graduate of the university, made an effective plea for her alma mater, to which she went a poor, struggling, aspiring Mississippi girl, and out of which she came a cultured, uncomplished, and scholarly woman. Mrs. Washington, like her husband, lives among the people, who love her for her gentle and kindly help, and for the great good she has done for colored women through the South, and for the ennobling of womanhood everywhere. In her speech she dropped at the very ending the sentence of the statesman. She pled for help, for sympathy and for a proper understanding between the races. The people must support Pisk so that Fisk may train leaders for that people, the rise of whom will raise the nation. "For," said Mrs. Washington, "all these races must rise together." And so they must. They must rise together, and they will rise together. Good signs on, every hand tell that thoughtful and patriotic men of both races and both sections have agreed with Mrs. Washington, for unless we rise together neither, race will rise at all. That is an unchangeable law of economy that teaches us that the philosophy of prejudice gives away before the purposes of human welfare. That is what gives us hope, together with remarkable advancement of every kind and the quiet revolution in religion that is going on all about us. "These races must rise together," said the good woman. They are. No further proof of it is needed than the great wave of applause that swept over that audience of wealth and culture in response to an aged sentiment given renewed force out of the mouth of a daughter of a slave-mother. ATLANTA AND BALTIMORE. An agitation is being kept up in both Baltimore and Atlanta looking to the compelling of colored people to move into certain districts and into restricted quarters. Such conduct on the part of white people is not only disgraceful, but is in the highest degree unjust. The charge is frequently made that colored people will not save money and buy property. Now in these two cities it seems that the very class of colored people who have saved money and have bought property are to be interfered with, to be brow-beaten and degraded. We hope that before the agitation in Baltimore and Atlanta has proceeded much further that the spirit of fairness and decency, that are common to the American white man, will overtake those responsible for this movement. The Talmud says: "The best preacher is the heart; the best teacher time; the best book the world; the best friend God." True. And yet tools are with us always. Additional and perfect proof that the Negroes "are growing more like the white folks every day" is the fact that our banks are beginning to fail and our financiers are getting in trouble. All that goes to make up progress in progress-erazed America. Last week's 'Ack contained an account of the 102d anniversary of Abyssinian Baptist Church, the oldest church in the city. Dr. Powell, the pastor, set out to raise $2,000, and went beyond the mark. Denominationalism was laid aside, and all churches joined in the celebration. What a pleasant thing for brethren to dwell together in peace. New York is richer by the life and services of Dr. Powell. SQUARE ON THE HEAD. Thanks be to the Cleveland Journal, Ohio's strong arm and voice, for its powers against the hypocrites, white and black; double thanks for the very fetching and accurate description of Letter Writing John, first in schemes first in dreams, and three thousand miles away on Election Day. In respect of the rather "curious document," as The Sun polly describes that "letter" signed by all the "ex's" and forwarded to Europe, the good Journal has not a single fear in attacking either the base, cruel motives of these who signed it in darkness, or the author of it who wrote with no happy aim. Did The Aca write so charmingly, so faithfully of I Am John, the "intellectuals" that were but are no more, immediately, ascribed unpleasant plans to our pen. We are therefore grateful to The Journal for moving out against the Hypocrite, his servitors and pensioners. Follow the Journal closely: The Cleveland Journal, in a recent discussion of a certain circular sent out by the National Negro Committee, stated that the circular bore the carmarks of being an English publication. We now learn on undoubted authority that the man who really wrote the circular was John E. Milholland, a former New York City politician. He happens at present to be residing in England. We have learned that those who signed the circular knew practically nothing of what was in it, beyond the fact that it was in some way or another a criticism of Mr. Washington's work and Tuskegee. Mr. Milholland is of that peculiar type of white politician who, to secure any political prestige, must have back of him a following. He is trying very hard, too, to miss the Negroes behind him, so that he may demand recognition for himself. At least, that is the information which comes to The Journal. Of course, incidentally, Mr. Milholland will get some notoriety which will serve to keep him before the public. And that is Milholland from a portrait of life. That is Milholland, we say, with his mounting ambition that brooks no disagreement with him upon the proper way to solve problems. And, pray, who is this man that we shall call him prince? He was once poor, but postoffice tales made him rich; is not that achievement enough! P.S. His modesty is also marked. The trouble with Milholland is the very trouble that so easily becomes a disease in his kind. Every broken-down politician of the white race in the years gone by, when they had lost prestige with their own, turned defender of the sad-eyed blacks—for what? That their bread should not be cut off, and that they should remain—if not in the Vety Seat, then near the seat of power. We have had much of that, but of that we shall have no more. When Booker Washington, fit to lead any republic, apparated on the land, and marshalled the broken forces of the Negro race into a silent army of progress, Milholland's kind found its power gone and its prestige punctured—and the wind went out of it. Now, the Negro's "ex's" children of Envy, and the white Kickers, who like it not so well that they are on the outside, seek to undo the great work of a Greater Man. But it shall not be so. The American Negro says that he will follow only his own, when his own is competent. Booker T. Washington is the best and wisest leader that any struggling people have had since Moses had him down on Maob's crest. Ten thousand hot words from Letter-Writing John, and an ocean of devoted tears from his twenty bread chinchmen, may interest Europe for a day, but they can never turn the American Negro from his leader and his friend, or disturb his high place among the great. The Age stands with the Negro people in loyalty, to Negro leadership, and is proud of it. FALL AND WINTER WORK. FALL AND WINTER WORK. This is the season of the year when there should be a forward movement put on foot in every community where any number of our people reside for the purpose of improving the social, industrial, educational, moral, and religious condition of that community. Teachers, ministers and others leaders in each community have a responsibility in this matter which they should not attempt to escape. The people should be carefully organized, and frequently brought together for the discussion of the problems which concern them in their local communities. These problems relate to employment, to education, and the condition of the young people. Sometimes these problems can best be threshed out through the medium of a literary society or a Sunday afternoon club. Whatever the name may be, no community should fail to do its duty in keeping our foot some active organization which will attract the best and brightest minds in that community to a central place once a week where problems that concern intelligently discussed. In many cases these local organizations fail to bring to themselves the confidence and aid they otherwise would, because instant of concentrating discussions on local matters they are inclined too much to discuss matters which relate to people many 'miles away. Always aim to have the discussions along constructive lines. GOODBYE ABYSSINIA. It has long been a cherished custom of the American Negro to expand his chest in unrestrained pride when Menelik's title appeared in the newspapers, or when there was a recital of the glories of Abyssinia, that put the French under its feet and drove the Italian armies in complete route across the mountains. The Ace was among the shouting tribes that viewed these achievements with unabated adoration. Now we have all come to grief. Menelik's people are not all Negro at all, and they relish no thought of being so classed. In a letter to Rev. Mr. L. J. Jordan, who was trying to find a "reverend father of some sort," and who made inquiry, the American consul writes the following letter: Nothing is known here in Adis Abbé abbey of anyone of the name stated. I notice that the Rev. Gentleman poses, particularly as a pillar of the church, that one would lead me, to believe that one would Abysinian. These people are far from considering themselves as belonging to that race or having any other status than a person in course, an admixture of the Nerroid bood in many Abysinian tribes, but people they are as a fact of Bemilith. Wouldn't that bring strong men to grief? What are we to do about it? Perhaps Mr. John E. Milholland will write a four-column letter of fiery and mounting words to the throne in protest. Semitic, ahl. Poor Ham has been dened more times than any one rooster can crow in a life-time. We are fighting down giants despair, for our part. The information comes to us that early next year, a "conference" of the big colored Federal office-holders will be held in Washington. Ever since the "House-of Governors" became popular we have expected something of this sort. Simply can't lose us. As fast as one Negro bank fails up hobs another. The latest bank to be organized is the People Savings Bank and Trust Company at Hopkinsville, Ky. The bank is capitalized at $23,000. J. S. Brown, secretary of the National Negro Bankers' Association, reports that the outlook for the new institution is very encouraging. Now for a bank at Louisville. Samuel Gompers not only denied that he said Negroes ought not to be allowed in the Labor-Union, but he went to a Negro church in St. Louis, and captivated 2,000 people by talking up for equal rights under the law and equal opportunities for all. The Ace believes that Mr. Gompers did not tell his followers to kick us out of the labor trust. If we can get him to instruct his union people in New York to allow colored men to work at their trades we shall feel under many obligations. The Illinois Chronicle is to be congratulated upon securing the services of Cary B. Lewis as managing editor. Mr. Lewis is a born journalist, and his powers have been developed under the tutelage of Col. Henry Watterson. Marse Henry saw in him the making of a great newspaper man. Mr. Lewis now has the opportunity to give Chicago, rich in other directions, a real newspaper. Gov. Jared Y. Sanders, of Louisiana, one of the political hypocrites of the present, has, trouble on his hands. The insurgents of his State propose to fight his dominance of the Legislature. It would be a fine thing for the South if Mr. Sanders could be put out of power. Like Tillman, he is a prince of the hill-billies, and that means long life in the South. We are prepared for the announcement that the Baltimore "Anglo-Saxons" who don't want colored people to buy property, on certain streets are willing to make exceptions to their cooks and servants, "Aunt Jane," the cook, or "Sallie," the nurse; may ride in first-class conches in the South, while educated and refined colored" women, if they are not white enough to "pass," are made to ride in the hog-pens provided for colored passengers. Last year when Leroy Percy defeated ex-Gov. Vardaman for the Senatorship from Mississippi there was a big bow of bribery. Senator Dulany, of Yazko, was accused of having bribed Senator Billbo, and Billbo said that it was so. Saturday last Senator Dulany was acquitted in the counts, after a fair trial, and Senator Percy is a candidate for re-election. He is doubtless the fairest man in respect to big problems in the South, and one among the ablest. No other man could have defeated Vardaman. No other man can defeat the Lefore barker in the present contest. : William McDonald, of Texas, often called "Goose-neck Bill" by his political friends and foes, has written a history of the colored people of Texas. The Dallas Express is publishing the story, as a serial. The story is as interesting a piece of history as we have read in many a day, and as an account of forceful men and stirring times it is highly credible to Mr. McDonald, who is a man of many and big affairs. The Express performs a big service in printing the history, which ought to be published in book form for Texas, the country and for the children. Children may read of brave fathers usually press forward to high things. In last week's Ace there was a letter from a New Haven gentleman who felt rather badly over the ingratitude of Geo. W. Crawford, a young man who is very hot after notoriety. Ingratitude, says the One Book, is the basest of sins; yet the world is full of ingrates high in the affairs of men. In respect of this observation, THE Ace calls especial attention to the almost universal ignorance of our men, not a few of them prominent men, of the virtues of pure friendship. Many of them carry, unconcealed, mental daggers that are freely, used against the good name and reputation of their "best" friend. What is the greatest love? That a man will lay down his life for his friend, said the Teacher. One Reason. Many good people seemed interested in 'the simple announcement that Geo. Gould wrote to the The Age, the The Age, and the Aye would not be responsible for any money; paid, the said 'Harris. The following letter is 'the reasons of that announcement'; 120 Broadway, N. Y. Nov. 15, 15. New York Age Publishing Co. Gentlemen: Your statement received yesterday, as you will find enclosed, I beg to say that it was paid in full to Mr. Harris, and I hold receipt —house, and I hold-receipt for same. As I made the contract with him I had no reason to hesitate; there- fore I will affirm my statement with him will affirm my statement. You're very truly, (Signed) W. A. WHITE. This bill has not been settled by Geo. W. Harris. NONE BETTER To the Editor of The Age: Who you are I do not know, and would not care, only it is a sort of gift. You are a sort of gift, somebody acquainted with all great men, but whoever you are, I know that my heart beats in unison with yours, that you are a sort of gift, therefore reach gift to you through the intervening square a glad hand, back which is a heart that knows no guilt. I am nobody but a sinner saved by grace, a man who has been lifted by the mercy of Almighty God from the darkness into a redeemed manhood; but, as we sometimes say in chass and other speaking meetings, I want to tell you how I feel toward The New York Age. I am a man of great clearness, its tone and its inspiration. I know of no Negro paper that is cleaner in its thought, in its direction, and its methods than The Age. I am a man of great clearness, a better trained and holier ministry, and for a laity that readily responds to the call of such a ministry to righteousness, civic advancement and justice, simply refreshing. Its defense of the race and advocacy of its cause, while it does not exhilarate to intoxicated madness, does tone up every fibre of its soul. It bends wings to the soul's aspirations. It so inspires one that one feels, like going and doing likewise, makes an impact in him yet not only one, but several, good lights for the race. The New York Age under its presidents, and just where it stands on the race question, and yet its columns are singularly free from vitriolic fulminations. It would not only tell the American people and political parties how they ought to behave toward the Negro, but how he ought to behave toward himself and the rest of the world; to tell white men to quit discriminating against Negroes; to tell Negroes to stop so much murmuring and to get busy bringing about better conditions among ourselves and to race reason, we want more of it. The race needs to be told of its shortcomings as well as to be defended against everywhere and after whatever else. The New Age is doing. I have been led, Mr. Editor, to say this much: "We have it said; and I say it, without necessarily indulging its politics. I refuse to wear anybody's political collar. Providence, R. L., 437 Washington street. THE PASSING OF PROF. DU BOIS Prof. Dubols came into our community nearly fifteen years ago, lived left us, practically more of a stranger than when he came among us. The- he was the only one of the few graduates from Harvard and Berlin, have forgotten that he could, and have reached the conclusion years ago, have received for parts unknown. The longer he remained in this community the less service he rendered the community, life and became, a greater stranger among the people. He did not take any part in any movement calculated to help the people and he believed in denouncing the people of the other race with whom he lived in harmony. He was so very exclusive in his conduct that he did not affiliate with any church or attend any Sunday School. He was not alone to denounce the conclusion long ago that the masses of the Negro in the South were not fit for a gentleman to associate with, and that not the white barber could lift up his helmet. He was so very exclusive that he would walk in the Negro barber shop where he had to come occasionally because the white barber would not shave him, and that not the white barber could lift up his helmet. He was so very exclusive that he would refuse to speak to them; and as an example of his benevolent and hurtful refuge upon Negro life, without mention of the mentorship of Prof. George A. Towns, a student of the DuBois Idea. Atlanta University... in dispensing with the services of Prof. DuBois has made education in the South the greatest service it was capable of rendering and if the school will make it possible to fill their place with practical educators, men of common sense enough to go to church, and Sunday School and join Negro society, and make them and economic life of the race in the community, the school will regain much of the support and respect, if it is not only the DaBois influence. The DaBois influence sensed the useful influence of the individual in the educational uplift of the Negro, but it has materially impaired the Negro in the South, and there was once a time when Atlanta University was looked upon as the most useful school of practical education for the Negroes in the South, and when the school has dwindled almost into insignificance. It is now looked upon in this community as a popular University is not turning out any University students. Writers, Henry, Lucy Canyans, Whitkens, Henry, Smith, Johnson or practical helpful leaders, becomes of the boys who graduate from Atlanta University? The answer generally is: 'They are porters on the streets and doing dins cars and restaurants and other situations.' What the school wants to adopt is a practical course of helpful instruction and employ life in the community for the Negro ought to be felt in every phases of Negro life. It is hurtful to have a College Professor reteach a child, a selfish school teacher, that old school wants to be white.' The college teacher ought to conduct himself as to reteach a cordial greeting of every class of people in the community life. When President Laureus comes out among the people, as he does only, he is generally referred to as a college teacher. Atanta University has been emplied to raise their hats to the girl students whom they meet, and refuse to speak to them. Such influence is not only hurting the community and to be remedied Atlanta University would regain its old place in the estimation of the people was instituted to serve. It must displace in this baneful and hurtful influence. "CHAPTERS FROM MY EXPERIENCE" In the October World's Work, in addition to the first instalment of Booker T. Washington's "Chapters from My Experience," was his story, of why he wrote "The Story of 'the Negro.' Among other things he said that the "Story," he hoped, would supply a litter, to inspire the masses of his people with the knowledge and devotion. The history will do that and more, it will educate the American people about the career and progress of 10,000,000 neighbors, almost strangers at that door. The November World's Work contains the second installment of Mr. Wren's "The Experience." Without the slightest intention to disparage his other works, each of which is an important and inspirational work, he surpasses "human interest, in a broad philosophy, in a keenness of observation and Literary skill, anything but brilliant pen. He cannot be writing his last book, for he is in the very youth of his life, these "Chapters" might will become his literary and philosophic labors. Mr. Washington relates how as a boy he took untold delight in reading the lives of men who had risen from poverty to power: "After I got so I could read a little, I used to take a great deal of satisfaction in the lives of men who had risen by their own efforts from poverty to wealth. I used to be able to read books that kind. It not only inspires him with a desire to do something and make something of his life, but it teaches him that such something useful, to perform his ability to do something useful, to perform his ability to do service that the world wants." Young Washington had much trouble in respect of getting hold of books that dealt with the rise and progress of American history, and variably the records that fell into his hands of white boys and their triumphs. His own race always reminded him that he a black boy, could never hope to do anything with his books and done that. The New Yorker wrote of a class that can never see how a black boy can do anything that a white boy can do. This class is confined to one section. New York has many of the best books in an appalling crop. But the boy know not even to discouragement of youth. "In the end I ignisly wound up on the discussion by recalling the life of Fred. Douglas, reminding them of the high high service which he had given the great service which he had performed for his own race and for the cause of human freedom in 'the long in. In addition to an beautiful tribute to Douglas, who has always been Mr. Washington's hero, and other great men of his race, Mr. Washington gives an appearance at the Atlantic Exposition, his tribute to a world-wide fame. "Apparently," writes Mr. Washington, "the words which I had spoken at Atlanta, simple and almost commonplace, as they were, but which I never knew." chosen in the public mind. In the time I determined to stick close to work at Tuskegee, I had an intensely professional man. Indeed, an intensely pure, no natural, so deep, so sweeping, so forceful, that it is not altogether unpossible. No one can talk with his opponent without feeling the question, and without feeling the he holds his opinion against all course Nor can one who has followed his opinion in the purpose is served perfectly in his plans. He does not have much patience with shallow people, and he is quickly takes the measure of the show. Shortly after Mr. Washington has spoken at Atlanta many of the "and" opponents, and to represent him, would have him in order to "oppose him." Mr. Washington describes the "first thing to which theyjected my plan for the inducing education of the Negro. It seemed in teaching colored people in work with the Negro, great concession to public opinion in the South. Some of them, though probably, I did not believe in the Negro's education. According to their way of looking at the matter the Southern white man was the natural enemy of the Negro. He wanted purpose, to gain his sympathy, port, must be regarded as a kind of treason to the race. The black people, must be member, the forums, and lycceus, the Negro people were crowded with men and women anxious to debate the Negro people, and Washington, the Washington tolls of the "I remember one young man, in particular, who graduated from Yale University and afterward took a post graduate course at Harvard, and who, with his delivery, a series of lectures on The New York Times, T. Washington." It was not long, ever, before he found that he could live continuously on my mastakes, he discovered in all his long schools, he performed any kind of 'useful' and 'professional' labor. After he had fulfilled in several other directions he appealed to me, I tried to find something for him to man in question he was trying to a miserable existence as an agent, while he was looking about, in a position somewhere, with the frowns of a junior or for some other humble position. Dr. Washington might have told his same young man tired his hand in professorship of chemistry and an immense number of colored open-ended have had the advantage of a New England institution, as Mr. Washington points out. He has every problem of life by an immediate and a hot application of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. Our mind-cure cult joined in a laborious and ridiculous "address" to the people that the Negro is making progress Dr. Washington reported on his recent visit to Europe, and that the races are under control, he also stated. Perhaps the description of not a few of this man of pop and paper will be felt in the graphic of Washington's article: "Among the most trying class of people with whom I come in contact, the persons who have been educated in books to, the extent that they are, upon every occasion, to quip phrase or a sentiment from Sheppe, Milton, Cicero, or some great writer. Every time any pre-arises they are on the spot, we phrase or a quotation. No pre-is so difficult that they are not with a definition or abstraction of some kind, to solve it. I like phrases, and I frequently find them useful and convenient in conversation, but I have found in them a solution for many of the actual problems of life." Mr. Washington for the first time since that disgrave scene, tells of the meeting in Boston some years ago when he joined, with the very worst element in the city to "break up" the educator and his meeting, which had been arranged by the legal chief, Mr. Washington. The denial of free speech in the South the Boston "landers" were themselves engaged in denying free speech in the general sense, insisting "oppression" to Dr. Washington on the part of certain men, in Boston is due not to any sensible disagreement with reference to policies, but to the Boston officials put there in fall for abhorring the peace and inciting a riot. If Mr. Washington has at any point published his platform, it is to promote the platform as all men, all races, at any time, and on any country can stand upon. Its wisdom and integrity have been found in my writings. I have found in my writings the Negro race—and I believe that same is true of all races, but the Negro race is by means of a constructive, progressive programme. It is not, arguing not critical, nor hatred, but holding men and blinds together in a way to make them rally to the support of a common cause. It is not at the significant remark of the Cleveland Journal that "Dr. Booker T. Washington is all circulating anume to the public, long in the history of the country is read."

He had a splen did audience today of thoughtful-looking people, evident Brooklyn, December 4.—Pastor Russell continues to use the Academy of Music, our largest Auditorium, whenever he speaks in Brooklyn, the "Tabernacle" being of insufficient capacity. He had a splendid audience today of thoughtful-looking people, evidently chiefly from the middle walks of life. Asked why so few of the wealthy attended, his characteristic reply was, "Of my Master it is written, 'The common people heard him gladly.'" He spoke from the following text: "The Lord, whom ye seek shall sud- denly come to his temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in. Behold he shall come saith Jehovah of Hosts but who may abide the day of his coming" - Malachi 1:1. Six thousand years ago in Eden our Maker, in justly sensuicing his disbented children to death, intimated that ultimately the seed of the woman would bruise the serpent's head. This hidden promise was the first intimation of the divine mercy which our gracious creature provided in himself from before the creation of the world. Ivo and gracious our Creator is loved his mercy by the good of humanity, that the might be born to serve the exceeding sinful creatures, for the good of the angels, so that they might fully know of his justice as well as of his wisdom and power, so insisted upon dealing with his creatures from the standpoint of a sacred justice. They had sinned and the rest had forfeited all claim upon the eternal life which he had given them in conditionally. Eternal for our sins, we have already seen, did not in any sense or degree enter into the Devine intention. His sentence upon man, plainly stated was, Living then shall the not living then shall live in torment. The soul that slimeth it shall die on 11, 17, Ezekiel says, God intended to exemplify to his desings with our race a principle of Divine government to be made operative everywhere in mately amongst all his creatures, in the spirit plane, as well as upon the earthly. Long centuries after in the seventh generation of Adam's children, God spoke prophetically through one of these, Enoch, saying, The Lord counsels with ten thousands of his brethren to execute justice in the earth to establish righteousness among men. Time passed on, but sin proviled and the coming of the great deliverer was still future. Next God spoke to Abraham, after first he had tested his faith, and loyalty. To him he mentioned the same great Deliverer who would be so the serpent's head and who would come in great glory with ten thousands of his holy ones. To Abraham he gave assurance that this One, in some way would be identified with his posterity, so that he might properly be called the Seed of Abraham. He said, "In thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." The Divine Programme was not changed, but more explicit statements were given respecting it. Thereafter all taught of God would know to look for the Messiah blessing through Abraham's Seed. Jesus the Lord man was afterward informed with Oath to Abraham, later told to Jacob. That God prepares came to look at seeds of Israel the earth of Israel gob's the Covenant Abraham Covenant the A the J arrow that vine stead early d God Law Israel bond essay essay proposition Law and lasting faith fellowship job of God prefere other of God nant want of God bulls and of God ment for them for others might enter into the Covenant tempted to keep the Law they disappointed They failed The law of God being the full measure of a perfect man's ability, and the Jews like other men, being imperfect found that they had undertaken an impossibility Not a Jew kept the Law perfectly Not a Jew, therefore gained eternal life during the first year. But God foreknowing this, had made preparation for a repetition of the Atonement Day every year, so that the people might continue striving to attain eter- nal life. Year after year, century after century, they failed, and discouragement took the place of hope. God was teaching them a great lesson respecting the need of better sacrifices than those of bulls and of goats, and also teaching them that there is no other means of justification in his sight. They got blessings under this Covenant—educational blessings, but not the blessing hoped for, not life eternal. Hence they were not in a position to become, as they had hoped, a national Messiah, a national Seed of Abraham, for the blessing of all the nations. God gave them kings for a time, but these were unable to accomplish the great things hoped for. But the promise of a personal Messiah was made, and that he should be of the lineage of David, a great King, far superior to the great, wise and rich Solomon. Messiah would be David's Son and yet David's Lord (Psalm cx. 1: Matthew xxil, 42-44). Here, as God intended, Israel began to get the thought of a personal Messiah, a King of Glory, who would use their nation as his instrumentality for the conquering of the world, when every knee should bow and every tongue confess to the glory of God A New Covenant and Better Mediator The next lesson for Israel to learn was that a change of Dispensation must come, that, as Moses had mediated the Law Covenant, so an antitypical Moses, a greater than Moses, would induct them into the blessings and privileges of a still better Covenant, a Covenant more favorable to them and under which they could gain eternal life. This New Covenant was particularly set before them through Jeremiah's prophecy (exxal 31:30). And this, combined with the statement of Moses respecting a greater Mediator, helped their faith to take a fresh hold upon the Oath Bound. Abraham and Promise—"In the Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." If a great enough Mediator should come as the promised Messenger of God and should establish a holy Covenant under which Israel could have a sacred life and if he has the offspring of David should learn their long then Induced Abraham Seed the nation of Israel under the great Mediator King would be fully qualified to bless all the families of the earth. The thought of this glory to their nation be a fresh inspiration, and around it gathered the fifty old thousand of Jews, out of all the tribes of Israel, who returned from Babylon in captivity under the dict of Aris, offering them this privilege. Through the Prophet Ezekiel the Lord again made mention of the fact that their Law Covenant, made at Sinai must, before their great blessing of restitution, give place to a New Covenant a better Covenant. Speaking of the time when he would regenerate them out of all lands and would fail to them the promise made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and make them a great nation and use them for the blessing of other nations, the Lord declares, Not for your sakes do I this O house of Israel but for my name's sake! He then proceeds to tell them that at the time he would receive them back from into his law and favor he would also humble their pride by restoring the Samaritans and the Saharas peoples where Israel detected its inferior and sinner. God declares that mother of these peoples had ever committed as serious sins against Doing goodness as had Israel and it which he would grant bless Israel he would bless also those other peoples in their midst. Let me quote his words. When thy sisters Sobem and her daughters shall return to their father's wife and Samarit and her daughters shall return to their former wife then then and thy daughters shall return to your former satate * * * Nevertheless I will remember my cousin with those in 18 days of the youth and I will establish unto them an existing Government * * * and I will give them the Salamite and Samaritous unto them for daughters but not by Law Government but under the old Law Government but under the New Law government of the former and I will establish by Government with those * * * in order that they may est restore her and be of the good and never at the truth be causes of thy wife when I am married find Is the Same that the other Son of God in God of glory to bless Israel, and all the Gods of the earth through Israel "Abide the Day of His Coming" Our text is from another prophese speaking of this same great Messiah the Mediator of the New Court of Kings and Lord of Lords, who as the representative of the great behold his Father is to reign until all enemies shall be put down, until Satan shall be bound and, ultimately shall be crushed, until Adam and his race released from Divine sentence, under Correspondence that is sent to this office written on both sides of the paper will not be printed—Ed. the New Covenant provisions, shall be uplifted out of sin and degradation and death to perfection and everlasting life—the unwilling and disobedient being destroyed in the Second Death. The Prophet Malachi points out that the Messiah of the New Covenant, whom he announces, is the glorious Mediator and antitypical King for whom they had waited long and of whom they delighted to think. He would come to the temple—thus implying that he would be not only an antitypical Prophet, an antitypical King, but also an antitypical Priest—"after the order of Melchieedec": "A priest upon his throne" (Psalm cx. 4; Zechariah vi. 13). But after this joyful proclamation that their long-expected and gloried in Mediator of the New Covenant should be looked for, they were warned that his day would be one of trial, one of special testing and proving, that the Lord might find the antitypical Priests and antitypical Levites to serve in the antitypical Temple. He would be like a refiner of fire to take away the dross and to leave only the pure metal-fiery trials and testings being implied. He would "be like fuller's soap," in the sense that a great washing or purging would take place to make ready for the Kingdom the called and chosen and faithful At that time the consecration of Judah and Jerusalem unto the Lord will be accepted as in olden times. We may understand that this spirit of devotion is now reviving amongst the Jews and particularly amongst those who are identified with Jerusalem and the Zionist movement. Hitherto this has been a political movement in the interest of Jewish nationization and a home for villes. Now, however, the date time has come for a real movement of those who have the faith to draw near to God and to show their faith by helping forward in the resurrection of earthly Jerusalem and her interests. Why Messiah's Coming Delayed The Lord's letter of the Latter as his glorious Agent in the great work of creation and the highest ground of life, the great Messenger of the Covenant of the great Prophet, Priest and king of Israel, the great Method of Israel will. But there were tests of trust with his attainment of the high position. By faith he must redeem his heavenly glory, in olden times the Latter's will to become a faithful man, but a perfect man—holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners. Thus prepared to be one the Rehemer it was his privilege to be made full consolation of his earthly interest and the Father's pleasure to begit him of the holy Spirit at Leiden to the spirit nature on the Latest plane. For three and a half years he was born upon the after. It was indeed better than the sorrow of bulls' gorings for it was a sorrow standing for Adam an ever for an ever to the tooth, a man of life for a man's life. When Jesus had thus sorris he parted with his earthly life he experienced a resurrection change from human nature to spiritual, like what he was originally higher and more gorgeous. Thus he was at once both a sacrifice and the spirit begotten priest who offered that sacrifice. When he arose from the dead his personal sacrifice had ended and his personal perfection as a spirit being was completed. Then why did he not at once begin his great work as Prophet, Priest, King and New Covenant Mediator for Israel and through Israel for the world? It was be ausse there was to be more than one scribe to the Divine Plan on the day of Amendment Throughout this Gospel Age this risen glorified High Priest Mediator Prophet and King has been waiting to inaugurate his glorious Kingdom of blessing waiting while a little handful of saints should be selected from the world and tested and found worthy and glorified with himself a little stock out of all mankind, both laws and counsels.

SOUTHENN PUBLIC SCHOOLS Dr. Washington, Among Other Things, Writes Against the Evil Effects of Denominationalism Upon Public Schools. To the Editor of The Age Through the medium of your valued newspaper I desire to say a word to the corrupted people regarding the importance of good public schools. It has been some months since I have had anything to say on this important subject I wish to repeat that which I have tried to emphasize from time to time that there are few, if any subjects, which are of more vital and far-reaching importance to the masses of our race in the South at the present time than that of building up a good public school system. Only a very small per cent of our people can ever go to a large boarding school, or any kind of college, or industrial school for their education. The masses must depend upon the public school in their neighborhood for whatever education they get. If the public school is a failure the masses grow up in ignorance, and so I am making this direct appeal to every minister, business man, a man throughout the South to take personal and deep interest in the condition of the Negro public schools. First of all, we should bear in mind that we are American citizens and that we should have our rightful share of the public school fund. Where we are not getting our just share of the public school fund, a direct appeal should be made to the public school authorities for a more just distribution of the public school funds. This kind of appeal should be repeated again and again until we do receive our just share. We should not give up or stand still, in cases where the public school authorities are not allureable to give more money. It will be no surprise to the future generation of children if they grow up in an environment to tell them that they might have been educated if the public school authorities had done their I have travelled through the South. I have visited that where a good school is provided in most of the results that that committee will work to secure one. For the present I will have good rest and refreshment. I have visited a good school that is thrown up building by being almost being almost when people are not drawn in a good appearance. We travel through the South have seen that the public school for rate are often crippled and in reason of the fact that the classes and system it should be understood in importance that the public school in some communities the session would be the public school that want a Expansion Method study.

ADVERTISE IN THE AGE THEATRICAL COMMENT WHEN the Down In Dixie Minstrels leave Memphis this week the company will be much smaller commercially than when it entered Tennessee's largest city. A shakeup, almost akin to a young earthquake, is said to be due, and when the representative sent from New York by Barton and Wisewell, concludes his none too pleasant labors, it is thought that the casualty list will be large. Because there will be quite a number of dismissals in the company, one must not take it that the quality of entertainment provided by the minstrels will be impaired. To use the words of the management, "The owners of the show merely intend to get rid of the deadwood." In speaking of the shakeup in the Rucker show, Manager Barton said We have been planning to cut down the Down in Dixie Minstrels for some time. When I saw the production in New Orleans a few weeks ago I gave instructions to make a number of changes, but my orders were not carried out The Down in Dixie Minstrels have been carrying forty people, and attracting large crowds in the South, but company pay is too large for one night stands. When you play to crowded houses you often loose money The show will lay off for a few days only in Memphis this week, and when it reopens it will be conducted on a paying basks and the people will get value received for their money as well. No intimation has been made as to whom the lightning will strike. The only information given out is that there will be some lightning and some striking. Syncopation a Hit in Vienna. Word comes from Vienna that Gustave Kerker, composer of "The Belle of New York" and other American operatic successes, made his musical debut in the Austrian capital a few days ago with his new operetta entitled "Snow Drops," and that while the new production is a hit, the feature of the operetta is styled "a Negro dance." One of the critics, in speaking of the new piece, wrote: The Negro dance, which is as melodious a bit of composition as Kerker has ever turned out, made a hit with those present, to whom such a style of musical technique is practically unknown. Judging from the dispatches sent from Vienna, syncopation, commonly known as ragtime, is not dead, as some of our white composers on this side of the water have strenuously endeavored, but to no good purpose, to make the American public believe. The news that a syncopated number, termed "a Negro dance," is the hit of an operetta in Vienna must be cheering news to both white and colored composers who have argued that syncopation had not breathed its last, as charged. As "The Merry Widow" and other musical productions bearing the Venetian stamp are always regarded as dainty and Dresden-like, it would be interesting to hear those who have been decrying the merits of syncopated music try to explain why this peculiar style of melody has "caught on" in Vienna. And you do not have to go to Europe to learn that syncopation is holding its own. The musical hits of many of the big New York musical shows have been ragtime numbers, and written by colored men. The signs of the time point to the colored composer once more becoming a factor in the theatrical world, and Will Marion Cook, J. Rosamond Johnson and several ambitious young writers should be heard from soon, and not merely as composers of syncopated music, for they are ambitious to shine in operettas and operas as well. Popularity of the Black-Face Act. About this time last year I temporarily joined the ranks of the calamity howlers upon observing that there were but few colored standard acts in vaude-ville on the big circuits and told of the dark and gloomy aspect of things. But conditions are even worse now, for twelve months ago it was necessary for me to use both hands in counting the number of colored standard acts, while to-day but one hand is needed. It seems that each year the number of colored acts playing over the large circuits becomes smaller. In trying to figure out why such a deplorable situation should exist, I have reached one conclusion, and that is, the public is not tired of black face acts. There is another reason why colored acts are almost person non grata in the United office, especially. The reason I make the assertion that the public has not tired of black face acts is because I note that many white performers, or praising on black face skirts over the two large curtains and do two a day with marked regularity. Not so long ago the booking agents had a list of informing a colored performer that the public did not care to see more than one colored act on a bill, and set howadays you see three black face acts, MUSIC AND THE STAGE LESTER A. WALTON. and all put on by white performers. A big booking agent in the United office is responsible for the statement that in the near future colored acts will be even a scarcer commodity than heretofore. What appears to be very significant is that the colored acts that have managed to get past the barrier lately have been those doing black-face, for instance, Miller and Lyles and Stewart and Marshall. And probably you have not noticed it but they do not bill themselves or put their pictures in the lobby in street attire—only in their black-face makeup WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.

The male member of the team should develop into quite a comedian—if he studies. Frank Fowler Brown, late of The Red Moon Company, has joined Harry and Lulu Brown in their act, which will be known as the Three Browns. The act opened this week at the American Music Hall, Chicago. A colored theatrical exchange has been opened in Washington, D. C., which offers from thirty to forty weeks work. The firm is known as the Colored Theatrical Booking Exchange, and is located at 1805 Fourth street, N. W. This week the owners of the Crescent Theatre signed a contract to erect a theatre on McKinley square, 169th street and Boston road, which will seat two thousand persons. The theatre will be erected at a cost of $200,000, and will be up-to-date in every particular. It will be rushed to completion. --- Tom Brown, of Brown and Navarro, arrived in New York last week looking the picture of health, and his wife reached the metropolis two days later. They appeared on the bill at the Plaza Theatre, Sunday. The team will leave shortly for Europe, where they have been booked for sixteen months ... There is some talk of the Colored Vaudeville Benvolent Association and the Cief Club occupying the same building, 320 W 53d street, now the head quarters of the C V B A, until the Cief Club finds suitable quarters. It seems that the officers of both organizations are anxious to work hand in hand. Among the members of the Pokin Stock Company are Jesse A Shipp, Jerry Mills, Sudhey Perrin, Charles Calpain, Lloyd Gibbs William H Ilkens, Carroll Ames, Lanny Wase, Hattie McNeilsh Maggie Day, Lismerdly Stratton, Goldie Crayle, Ada Banks Gettin Brown, Tiffie Jones and Ava Wash Managers of the old clays should watch Stella Mo's with a king and a 10 x and 10 N.

The act made a favorable impression at the Crescent Theatre last week, and it will be more enjoyable when the dialogue used in the first part of the skit is cut out. Another objectionable feature is the suggestive talk which does not help any Miss Edwards is in good voice and Smith is coming out as a comedian. The finish is strong GLOBE THEATRE OPEN8. The Globe Theatre. Norfolk, Va. opened last week under the management of C W. Mosely Owing to the inclement weather the opening was not a very auspicious one, but later in the week the attendance was much larger. Monday the house opened with vaudeville and moving pictures, a stock company appearing opening week. On the bill this week are the Kinky Girls, the Massgall Sisters and Jennings and Jennings CRESCENT THEATRE. Billy Ward and the Dupree Quintet were the features of the bill at the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week. Billy Ward's monologue is the best thing in his act. His last song I'm Going to Exit, has seen many winters and summers and should do as the title suggests—make its exit. The Dupree Quintet has the nucleus for a good act, and the idea, while not entirely new, could be developed to advantage. The female members could be easily eliminated as could be the unnecessary availance of talk. The trap drummer "is some more drummer," and the piano player pleases. At present the skirt THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN is very crudely constructed and is rather amateurish Bradford's Light Arfiganders are topping the bill the last of the week IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Howard Defeats Tuskegee. The Blue and White closed the football season in triumph last Saturday by decisively defeating Tuskegee by a score of 17 to 0. It was a miserable day for a game, it raining steadily and the field was slushy. Fully 1,000 people witnessed the contest. That Tuskegee would hold Howard to such a low score was a surprise. Misjuding the strength of Tuskegee, Coach Marshall put in a number of substitutes, but Tuskegee showed up so aggressive he was forced to send in some of the "veta" Terry, Durrah and Tysen went in, and from that time on Tuskegee's doom was sealed. It was a clean, hard-fought game. This is a doubt hat. It was the hardest game. Howard has had this season, save the Lincoln-Howard game. Ed Gray was out of the game with a broken arm and Capt. Allen played with a bad shoulder. The invincible backfield had worked its last in the Lincoln game. Tuskegee's line was especially strong although both tackles were "skinned." More than once did they hold Howard and tackle the runners behind the line. Corker, the big Tuskegee guard, broke through several times, breaking up the plays. However, in the critical moments they fell before the onslaughts of Terry. The first quarter was slow. The only features were the punting of Washington for Tuskegee, the fast work of Slaughter. In the last part of the quarter Tysen beautifully received a forward pass. Howard was unable to score during the first quarter, although they got as far as Tuskegee, yard line. With the beginning of the second quarter the game became faster. After a long run by Slaughter, line plunging by Nixon and Terry, a quarterback run by Price, Terry crossed the goal for the first touchdown. Allen kicked goal. Score 6 to 0. The real star of the game was Slaughter. He was down under pants like lightning tore around Tuskegee's end like a bullet, and tackled with a precision that was spectacular. Nikon also played a great game. He has developed into a line plumper, speedy heady, and outheaded at all times. Before through Tuskegee's line for 5 and 10 yards repeatedly, and was everywhere. Quarterback Lewis played a hard chin game for Tuskegee showing coal headness and fine generality. Up to this time the Howard came in with 10 yards. During the third quarter Tuskegee tided the forward pass several times gaining once. This is the play they hoped to make a touchdown with let they could not resist. Howard's goal Terry made the second touchdown of the game. No goal kicked. Tuskegee faced the first round throughout the quarter, with the success Howard brought the down the field by for the thre- nth. Nixon did most of the work. The team received a first pound for a long run made the touch of the game and the season. Terry kicked goal. The sounded in a steady downward with the score 17 to 0.

To the Sporting Editor of the Age In connection with basketball among our colored teams in Greater New York rumors have been plentiful in regard to the now well-established New York All-Stars, and though these rumors have apparently been started by those who evidently wish us out of existence, they have unconsciously kept us in the field (in the vernacular of the newsboy) by "knocking." The most recent of these "knockes" was published lately in a well-meaning suppo- tion to the amateur monthly paper read as follows "Under the management of Major Hart, a new basketball team is in the field, known as the New York All-Stars. Up to date their movements have not been very successful." Let it be here understood that I am in no way seeking any controversy through your columns but in order that the public may not be mislead by this gentle (2) dig I feel it my duty as an interested member of the team to state a few facts. In the first place we did not organize with the intention of breaking up any team or club though that seems to be the general thought among our opponents. On the other hand considering that we have up to date played a number of games with some of the fastest and most representative white teams of New York and that we now stand with a percentage of 500. I can't understand what is meant by our movements not being successful Of course I can readily understand that if success is meant by an endless chain of victories the remark is justified but taking it from the viewpoint of a sportsman, a team who have never played together until this season (but against each other) and now having an even break so early in the season makes a most creditable showing. There is not a place where we have played that we cannot get a return game. Therefore we must have made a favorable impression, because no manager will hook a return game with an incapable team. We are not in the field to do any foulous knocking and only ask a square deal. F J ACCOOE Member N Y All-Stars Baseball Flourishing in Cuba Although this section of the country is in the grasp of winter, and many are looking forward with pleasure to skating and other forms of winter amusements, the people down in Cuba are baseball mad and are almost as enthusiastic over the national game as are New York fans in July and August. The Detroit team of the American League is the principal attraction from this country, and is playing against the Almendares and the Havannas. The crack American League team is only winning half of the games, as the Cuban nines are playing great ball. Several colored players from the States are on one of the Cuban teams. The Leland Giants are on the scene and the Philadelphia Athletics are on the way. Billy Evans, the American League ampire is spending the winter in Cuba and attends all the games. He speaks of baseball on the island as follows. It is all strange to me here as I have never been in Cuba before and I am really surprised at the article of bull that the Cubans put up. They are great active players and fight it until the last man is out and that is what I will all play. But what I impress is the work of the empire. It is for the best that the hero not be the hero but the hero who is the hero. Complete arrangements AT ONCE FOR THE BIG DRAMATIC SECTION OF WHICH WILL BE THE FEATURE OF THE TIME JS SHORT!

The Governor has knowledge of the situation in Webster county. There was a large number of loud, noisy and disorderly and violent men, who were lawless and defiant and who intimated the community and lawabiding people and were countenanced by some officers in spite of the circuit judge's stern and earnest instructions to the grand jury, and some officers failed to do their duty against the mob, either out of sympathy with them or on account of race prejudice, or through unwillingness to risk ill will or enmity, either personally or politically, or their officers had done their duty again, as they did at first with Rob McDowell would not have been murdered. Half a dozen good men in earnest and free from torture, personal or political, could have easily driven the mob back and protected McDowell until he should have come to trial. The petitioners here came to trial in that county under these conditions, and charged with a murderous attack of a large band of Negroes on two white men along the road, and were tried before a white jury, and yet only received a verdict of seven years. If they had been guilty as charged the verdict would have been death or prisonment for life, and the testimony clear through and I have no doubt the answer of my duty in this case is likely to be an unpopular duty, but it is none of the less a duty. All men of ordinary sense know that Negroes do not band together in such a county as this to mob white men George Miller, who started with them and was indicted and went back, was cleared by order of the judge. All of us know that if all of the officers had done their duty the murderers of Jacob McDowell would have been arrested and convicted, and no one can deplore the crime of justice which were resulted in putting those were really innocent of criminal motive in the penitentiary and leaving undisturbed those guilty of one of the worst crimes possible under the law. For this reason I grant the application of these eleven applicants for pardon this 23d day of November, 1810.

Special to THE NEW YORK ACR. Birmingham, Ala. Nov 29 - Esther Reese, who died recently, was the second daughter of I. R Reese and Georgia Reese, who moved to Aniston, Ala. from Newman, Ga. In 1890 From a child she showed by her deep interest in all things beautiful in nature, in music, in pictures, in books and in her family ties characteristics, which could be developed into a fine woman. She was eager to learn everything, but she was not initially entertaining, but almost superhuman. This proved to be a weak spot in her physical being, which finally caused her untimely and early death. Soon after the opening of the Barber Memorial Seminary for Girls at Aniston, she entered the grammar department and soon won first place among the students by her faithfulness to duty, and conscientious and studious habits. She was appointed by the principal after her graduation to teach first in one department, then in another, and was always acceptable and satisfactory. Her talen for music made her very popular in the college songs and concerts. She was a valuable member of the Gler Club at Barber for many years. He was popular with women. She was both helpful and faithful. For the last fouryears she was principal of the Domestic Science Department of the school, and during the summer would take a course of study at Chataquua, N Y., to advance herself in the knowledge of this important department. She left an impress...on hundreds of girls. She was gifted as a nurse and could have excelled in this branch of science if she had made it a profession. Her gifts were manifold. Her most marked characteristic was usefulness and a cheerful disposition. The past few months she was filling a position in a mansion in travelland. Other were related with the illness which resulted in her death. She was an earnest Christian and loved her Bible. She enjoyed working for her church and with the women who were faithful co-workers. They will miss her. Her love for her father and mother, brothers and sisters was beautiful. She inspired them to be ambitious and worthy in every way. They will miss her. Her friends were many, and she wanted them all. He made me true and good. He be said of her as a memorial." She hath done what she could." She loved work, she loved her family, she loved her friends. May her life be an inspiration to help others over the rough places of life. SNOW HILL FAIR Quite a Success for a First Effort- Tuskegee Band Makes Big Hit— address of R. C.
