THE CITY OF LONDON A city in the capital of England, it is December 1, 1837. It is a city who is making the most productive city in this city has been named home in London, England, and the political, social and economic centre of the United States. The city has a special interest in the arts and has made it a point of the half representative citizens and no less, the churches the hospitals the social institutions and the homes of every class of people no more than the cosmopolitan capital of the na- Mr. Harker is a gentleman of the patient culture, easy of approach, an current seeker after the whole truth, and possesses a magnetic personality. He is one of England's most prominent political and economic writers, and is the author of "Great and Greater Britannia: the Modern German," "The British Isles of England," "British Soilism," and other works which are considered standard books and have have been published both in England and Americas. In the recent years, with a representative of the world's largest cities, the�er, and we do not know how many of them are not "my colored people" in Europe. In London, where I have seen only a few hundred col-berated students whom one does not meet. I came to the United States my second visit to the colored people was at that of any Southern planter. I had been told that the people were, as I worthless set of people were, a "worthless set of devices" in rings, working a day during the week, and losing dur- tions of the time. I was told the colored people were idle, dis- and reckless. So I imagined that them lived in stums and alleys as the aristocracy of the race con- dated of the waiters and railway por- He had been told that the colored people played at science; that their doctors and lawyers were charlatans. He had been told that the people of the Negroes were the most intelligent, that the mulattoes had lost the privilege of the Negroes and had appalled all of the vices of the whites. "Have you met Dr. Booker T. Washburn, our representative asked Mr. Barclay," responded the noted Englishman, "have him him and spent several months available here, in his company, in your mind him one of the ablest and most intelligent men I have ever seen, to help him a needle. He has to find a needle, and eminently statistician views him, and the pleasure of hearing him speak at the dedication of the Science Museum Harvard University. His speech is the favorite speech I have ever heard, the best occasion. I think that the mulattoes, the greatest orator have heard. Mr. Binder T. Washington is truly man and he has the modesty of a great man. He is a credit to your wife and his life and work should be an invitation to every man, woman and kind of color. Praise of the most exquisite man, able to lift him because he is genuinly strong. Criticism, often unjustly insulted for, has not turned him in the upward and onward course his has marked out as correct. While there are indulging in complaints and other complaints, Booker T. Washington is putting face on solid ground. The truth will prove the wisdom of our countryside and bring him the opportunity to so easily accomplish it. I have also offered to own possessing a mental and physical improvement to people who have wholeheartedly imitated it. If your family will supply you the necessary material, it shall be in your possession to prepare their case prominently in the world. I am eager to get on with their work. I have given other persons his hardest hand and will accomplish that has brought upon them "name." I chose a researcher with a cultured man of color, instead to look into the race problem, "continued Mr. Barker, and I was perfectly smarter when I discovered how greatly the colored people have both labbed and traduced. I have spent a considerable amount of time with colored people and have met many who are highly cultivated. I have been able to understand some of the rules, customs and customs. I have been able to draw a number of your elementary, and higher, grade schools and colleges, and Howard University, and I have shared the earnestness and resolve determination with which your children try to improve their minds and to raise themselves. If your might schools I have found old men and women, former sisters, who are proud of being born to the humble of many colored people and I have found them cozy, comfortable, elegant and peopleled by happy and harmonious families. I have been struck by the enormous progress which the colored race has made. But a few years ago the colored race was living in the stone age; to day it has begun to live in the age of electricity. I made the acquaintance of some colored boys who had a wireless installation made of telephone lines, like the telephone line to one another, and the telephone line to another. I have looked I have found evidence of the most remarkable progress in culture, learning and prosperity. Having been over many of your institutions and through many of your homes, and having talked to many of your most prominent people, and to a college that there ought to be a bright future for the colored race, I have come to the conclusion that the race is oppressed and persecuted and very largely because it is not known. I have come to the conclusion that the race is oppressed and persecuted their views and their attitude if they could see what I have seen. "Therefore, I wish to take them over the road which I have traveled. If the colored people of the country are ready to help me, I am willing to put their case honestly and fearlessly, before the Father. For the sake of the institution of the colored people and, so to say, personally introduce the civilized world to the best among them. Representative Chinese Gather in Brooklyn and Celebrate Birthday of Deceased Many Eloquent Speeches. Never before did a more representative body of citizens gather to do honor to one living or dead of their race than the men who attended the banquet last Friday evening in honor of the birthday anniversary of Dr. Henry Highland Garnet, at the Imperial, 360 Fulton street, which was given under the auspices of the H. H. Garnet Republican Club. The gathering was wholly made up of colored professional and business men, citizens who hold public office, men in positions of trust, and those who are highly interested in the uplift of their race. That the men of different religious beliefs, of different political affiliations might share in the occasion to honor the memory of Garnet, who represented the citizens in race, committee of citizens who asked race, committee of citizens who asked race, committee of the club's committee, and as result, Republicans and Democrats, Protestants and Catholics vied with each other in making the occasion the most representative and successful affair in every way that he ever been given by colored men in this section of the country. The speeches were thoughtful and eloquent, and were listened to with marked attention throughout. The following menu was served: Boast Chicken an Crescent, Cranberry Bacon Lettuce and Tomatoes Batteries Neapolitan Ice Cream Cafe Cake Following were the toasts: Rev. W. R. Lawton, presiding; "Invocation," Dr. J. H. Gordon; "As a Race Man," Hon. Charles W. Anderson; "As a Churchman," Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, D.D.; "As an Example of Race Possibility," C. W.

ON REDUCTION OF CRIME. Montgomery, Aka, December 28.—BOOKER T. W. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute and Negroes, has sent an letter to the University of Alabama, stating that he is greatly interested in the Negro race in Alabama. He says that the Negro race in Alabama, where he lives, is your opinion, and that the Negro crime, which affects those strong drink hubs in making the Negro a criminal? Since the production of your position, you have a duty to describe the criminals you commit by the Negroes in your country, especially criminal assults murder and other serious offenses? The Saturday School which followed by J.W. Randall the morning service was well attended. Third store prices offered by the latter. The lesson was reviewed by the separate teacher, N./C., who joined tendent, S. W. Battie. At a skiff the last lecture was held. ATTENDANCE VERY LARGE Ideal Weather Brings Out Record-Breaking Crowds. Rev. Gilbert Preaches Forever to the Community. Christmas was doubly impressively celebrated in the colored churches in Greater New York. Falling on Sunday the sermons and music covered a wider range than would have been otherwise possible. No great amount of advertising of the various services were done this year, for the reason that the several churches felt that the Sunday crowds so common to the New York churches, and New York is really a church town, would wind out as usual. On both sides of the bridge, and in the Bronx, all the churches had large attendances. Sunday was an ideal day, and in addition to the regular church crowds, many non-going church people were attracted to the services. The churches in Fifty-third street and the old-time number of visitors, while the Hilderbrand church all services. The Brooklyn churches, always noted for crowded services, were, for the most part, overtaxed. Chief interest among Baptist people centered in the evening services at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, where the distinguished preacher, Dr. Gilbert, after six years passorate, preached his farewell and appreciative audience. Dr. Gilbert the pastor of Harlem Tenn., to pastor the First Baptist Church. He goes against the expressed opposition of the members of Mt. Olivet for which he has done so much since he came here. The Mt. Olivet choir rendered special music all day and the several departments of the church had prepare special programs. Dr. Gilberse's seminary and touching Dr. Brooks the secular pastor of St. Mark's church preached both morning and evening to regular St. Mark's church and featured of both services. The choir of St. Mark's has wide reputation, and this reputation was sustained last Sunday. Dr. Ransom, the eloquent pastor of Bethel, preached, of course, to large audiences. The Christmas season increases his congregation but slightly, this congregation is always large. The Sunday School of Bethel observed the day with fitting exercises. St. Phillips Church in Harlem, Rev. H. C. Blahop, rector, was literally crowded at both services, and the music of the choir was away beyond the average. The rector preached in the morning, and the assistant rector, Mr. Daniel, preached at the evening services. St. Phillips has already begun to wield a sword in the church, and that is to say the pooled people of New York, the majority of whom live in that section. Union Baptist Church on "San Juan Hill" had special services all day, the Rev. George H. Simms, the pastor, leading in both services. The older people of the church had their regular service, while the younger, more impatient Paul, Morning Star, both. Baptist churches, held special services, while Pilgrim Church in West 46th street, had special music. This last named church gave a free Christmas dinner all day. In the Bronx St. David's Church had a special musical program in the evening under the direction of Leon Adgee, Dr. Cliffon, preached a special sermon. At St. Benedict's Church the most interesting celebration of the Catholic service was observed, the congregation crowded each of the attendees who organ at the celebration of the early Christmas mass at 4 o'clock a.m. The 4 o'clock mass is usually impressive, but the 8 o'clock mass is celebrated by Father O'Keefe. More than three hundred community were present at the early mass. The feature of the early morning mass was the singing of the Catholic hymn "Adesti fidela." At the conclusion of the early mass, the 7 and 8 o'clock Christmas mass followed. Father O'Mahoney was the celebrator. The solemn high mass, another impressive service, was held at 11 o'clock Father Burke, former rector of St. Benedicts, was the celebrant. The Benedict choir boys chanted special Christmas music for the occasion. The Christmas sermon at the solemn high mass was preached by Father O. Mahoney. The Christmas pictures were shown, several hymns were sung, followed by the sacrament. Down at Bethel A. M. E. Church the Christmas celebration was very interesting and impressive. The attendance was good at each of the services. The sermon on the "Nativity of Christ" was said the story that has grown up about Christ's nativity is neither a simple story, nor a starry planet, as well as the angelic host preaches the bible. Dr. Cliffon said that Christmas greetings aspiration to philanthropy which promises to make large donations to orphaned children. Down at Abyssinian Baptist Church Rev. S. Clayton, Power pastor of the church, attended many Christmas ceremonies at each of the churches. The attendance was large, all of the services. The Abyssinian church stained special Christmas music during the services. Negroes Among the Immigrants Aborted by the Closure of the Northern Boston District of Banking Company, Issue Statement. When announced it was made last Tuesday morning that the Northern Bank of New York and its close branches had been closed owing to "foreignularities" and that the business of the institution had been taken in charge by State Super- intendent of Benei's Bureau, quite a sensation was occasioned in Baltimore among the Negroes of whom have depended in the branch at 133th Avenue, Second avenue.

Montgomery, of Mound Bayou, Discusses Subject with Whites Negroes Have kept Peace With the Ad- mancement Mode - Intelligent Witches and Blacks Working Harmoniously. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Jackson, Miss. December 27.—In his address delivered at the remission of the surviving members of the Mississippi Constitutional Convention of 1890, held in the State Senate chamber of Jackson recently, the Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery, the only Negro member of that memorable convention, and the founder of Mound Bayou, told his hearers that the cry of the alarmist of Negro domination had proved to be purely mythical. In speaking on the subject—"Mississippi, Fast and Present," Mr. Montgomery said: "Mr. President and Gentlemen—It would seem proper that, as the single representative of a people so largely interested in the former work of this body, should say a few words on this anniversary occasion. "Undoubtedly there was never a time within the history of Mississippi when such a superlative select body of her highest citizens assembled to grapple with higher duties than those enunciated to the Convention laid a foundation for the first real helpful and hopeful work of real reconstruction, upon a continually broadening and enduring basis, called the State into harmony with her later States of the Union in seeking the highest and most ideals of civil self-government. Notwithstanding the many criticisms famished against the constitution (which is based mainly on methods of admin- istration), in tenure is fundamentally just a respect for the constitution and responsible with the operation of a world- renowned poet, expressed in the following quotation: There is a divinity that shapes uor ends, Rough her then as we may. The constitution brought order, the first law of the Creator out of chotic uncertainty, and gave peace to a con- dition of the people, softened the asperities of those troublous times, and by the light of progress and the wisdom born of experience we can see further born than was possible during the day of the convention. The complicated 'race question,' the problem of framing and adjusting practically and equitably, according to the constitutional theory of our national government; the relations between two races in the United States; the tabled association, which had occupied nearly two centuries in building—admittedly the most intricate ever decreed for adjudication by a civilized Christian people. In the day of the convention we could not easily determine that this grave question should be dismissed from politics for one or two generations. Divorced From Politics "Now, after twenty years, the mists and uncertainties enshrouding all human endeavor have sufficiently cleared away for us to begin to understand that this great problem has been providentially solved. We have been withstanding vociferous assertions to the contrary by many of the ablest minds of the day. "This great cause has passed up on appeal to the supreme high chancery court of public opinion, embracing not only the best and pureest ideals of our own broad land, dedicated and consecrated by the blood and brawn of all her peoples, irrespective of race, creed or color, but all over the civilized world, wherever the gospel of Christ, the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of munkind holds sway, yes, even in the Great Trinity Court of infinity, the white people of the South and the intelligent Christian Negroes of the South must begin to give answer in equity to this great cause. "The race question," as we have it in our sunny Southland, at the bar of the greatest forum of the world, and finally, in the court of the great white people of the South and the intelligent Christian Negroes of the South must begin to give answer in equity to this great cause. "The race question," as we have it in our sunny Southland, at the bar of the greatest forum of the world, and finally, in the court of the great white people of the South and the intelligent Christian Negroes of the South must begin to give answer in equity to this great cause. "I want to take advantage of this impressive occasion to say on behalf of my people that we believe political genius, inspired by patriotism, has written in the constitution of our country the highest hopes and aims of civil liberty, and assuredly dedicated it to the uplift and empowerment of our people, for a long period of time we were the brawn, the hands and the feet, while your people supplied the brains and energy in working out those ideals, but in time, under God's wise Providence, it has become our privilege to patriotically employ the mind and heart in cul MARKETING MARKETING IS THE CONCEPT OF CONNECTING MARKETS TO GENERATE EXCITEMENT AND INCREASE RESPONSE MARKETING IS THE CONCEPT OF CONNECTING MARKETS TO GENERATE EXCITEMENT AND INCREASE RESPONSE MARKETING IS THE CONCEPT OF CONNECTING MARKETS TO GENERATE EXCITEMENT AND INCREASE RESPONSE ISAIAH T. MONTGOMERY vating aspirations for higher service. "I laboring to perform this service we believe that whatsoever will conserve our permanent good will also conserve that of our white neighbor; and that whatsoever will conserve his lasting good will also conserve ours. "Faintly Trust the Larger Hope." "We believe that politics can do but little more for us than to consistently reaffirm the priceless and divinely inspired ideals already written, leaving the larger, more vital and intricate solutions to be worked out in the future. We believe that our whole people, guided by mutual faith and good will, and as a realization of the helpfulness each race may be to the other in fulfilling the highest destiny fixed by the Almighty Arbiter of all human affairs, are the most important sociating in the development of this fair land of ours the most progressive and the most backward people of the earth. "While conditions still lack much of being satisfactory, yet the twenty years elapsed since the adoption of the constitution of 1890 have brought marvelous progress to our great state. I have not had the time to trace statistics since the publication shows that our State revenues have more than doubled our capacity for educating and training the rising generations and for maintaining the humane institutions of the State. "Contrast the old capital with the new, the old efficiency with the new, the aggressive capital city with the Jackson that we saw in the days of the convention, and you may grasp an idea of the wonderful development that has transpired all over our State. And these three qualities of progress my people liberally shared. I have only been able to give casual thought to the subject; but it will suffice to say that in 1890 there was not a Negro bank in the State; now there are ten successfully managed, having an aggregate paid up capital of $100,000 and resources distributed about $150,000 annually. In 1890 our beneficial insurance and secret orders were collecting and distributing about $150,000 annually. At the present period they are collecting and disbursing $1,000,000 per year, besides maintaining fair reserves. We regularly established insurance company doing business on the same basis as the standard insurance corporations of the country. "Our people are the great agricultural mainstay of the State. They are beginning to respond favorably to the efforts of the United States agricultural department to promote improved methods of agriculture. While I am not prepared to accept the fact that we are well known that they have increased their holdings in farms and homes fully in keeping with their progress along financial and commercial lines. "Speaking more particularly of the marvelous progress in our State during the twenty years that have passed, it may not be out of place for me to recall that I came to the convention of 1890, an humble representative from a Negro community numbering a few hundred, who had two years previously settled in the county of Bolivar, the howl of prowling wolves was a familiar sound at nightfall and the yell of the agile panther was still commonly heard. "That community has now increased to over 2,800 people, a generation has grown up among them; two graded schools and a hall have public schools with large classrooms; of various denominations have respectable buildings and large membership. "The community owns over 30,000 acres of land, 30 per cent of which is improved with many neat homes and thriving farms. "The community sees season on favorable occasions their farm products have moved to market at the rate of forty to fifty thousand dollars per week, and on last Saturday the daily business of our local bank amounted to over $10,000, which sum probably exceeded the aggregate of all banks. "In conclusion I beg to quote a single paragraph from the remarks I had the honor of delivering before the convention: "I said to my distinguished colleagues on this memorable occasion: "When we need to construct a new heart with its imperishable attributes, for the great commonwealth of Mississippi. Shall it be true? Shall it be fixed firmly upon the great principles of truth, justice and equity? I believe that the consensus of enlightened public opinion that the great task was well performed. "Many of the giant intellects of that day have wrapped about themselves the (Continued on Page 8) DOCTORS MAKE NEW DISCOVERY Assert That Negroes Are Ime mene From Acute Alcoholism Only Whites are Subject to Delirium Tremens, While Negroes are Seldom Afflicted Has Admixture of Races Anything to do With Prevention of Disease? - Doctors Answer in the Affirmative. Special to The New York Age. New Orleans, December 27.—Some very significant and interesting facts have been announced by the famous Charity hospital authorities for New Orleans. It has been given out there that the records kept in the hospital show that Negroes are seldom afflicted with the complaint known as acute alcoholism and that mulattoes are immune from delirium tremens. "Acute alcoholism" is a complaint that only whites suffer with according to statistics kept at this hospital, and since the physicians and surgeons have been required to note carefully the shade of all Negroes treated in the hospital, it has been discovered that mulattoes are immune from delirium tremens. This discovery has raised a question whether or not a cross between two races may produce a being immune from certain common afflictions. It is held by some that a cross between the white and Negroes may produce such a being, and the similarity of the Charity hospital to the characteristics to be a prevention of disease common to either race, it will perhaps do away with some of the prejudice against the Negro and in the same measure open to the human nature of the black man by those who have treated him as though he was less than humma. "Acute alcoholism" is a complaint that real decent people are ashamed to be known to have, on account of the deprivation and degradation which it exacts of its victims. It is gratifying to know that with all his fatals the ..ogro is seldom afflicted with this awful complaint, which has given so much pain, grief and sorrow and distress to the old man, and plunging to earn from such eminent ambitions that all lattos, who under the law in Louisiana, are regarded as Negroes and so treated, are immune from delirium tremens, a condition of body and mind that is so dreadful and that only whites ever get in the danger of, ABRANGING FOR CELEBRATION Negro Citizens to Honor Memory of Charles Summer—Two Big Meetings Have Been Arranged—St. James Pee Church and Bodela A. and St. E. Church to be Boones of Celebration. The colored people of the City of New York have arranged to celebrate the memory of Charles Summer in their own way. Meetings advertised in the daily press with a long string of whites vice-presidents, the colored people know nothing of. Since the anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison the Negroes of the City of New York have never failed to properly celebrate the memory of their benefactors. In the past they have chosen their own speakers and held their meetings in the centers of colored population and put forward their own men and women as representative of the advancement of the race since the work of those who did no much for their freedom. Two meetings have been arranged for the Summer celebration. The first will take place at St James Presbyterian Church 51st street, near Ninth avenue, on Friday evening, January 6 and Lt. Col. Robert O'Neill of New York will charge of this meeting. The orator will be Roscoe Conkling Simmons. The other Summer celebration will be held at Bethel A. M. E. Church Sunday January 8. In the afternoon Dr. W. L. Bulkley will preside. John Hayes Hollies, pastor of the Church of the Messiah, will speak. The church chair is musician. In the singing speakers will be Counselor J. I. Curtis, Dr Reverdy C. Ransom, mrs. Francis Keyser, and Hon. Charles W. Anderson. A special program will be rendered. This promises to be a great gathering. These meetings are the meetings that the progressive colored people of New York have arranged. Usually the public meets in the city, and the meetings from all indications it will be just as appreciative of the Summer celebration. The pastor on, 'Sunday morning preached his sermon, The Birth of Christ,' to a good congregation. Rev. Newkirk preached at 8 P.M. or "Death in the Pot" to a large gathering. The pastor handled his sermon in an excellent manner. Among the visitors were Rev. Baboock from Union and friends of Mrs. Newkirk from Union Baptist Church. Union Baptist Church. For the past six years our pastor has not been able to have a Christmas dinner in his home on account of the poor in the district. But this year has been判ed for all the wrong with the besignance of the Texas's a white lady, who is a very much friend of the colored race. Three years before were collected from white families and were at the same age. There were good to cheer at the heart of the poor, even in the district; 126 baskets were given away. Each contained a very good and a kind of bread and a large, free, non-dish pair of rubbers, the most of the places of clothing to do on eags and hats, including tomatatoes; 150 dalt, dooms of costs, seals, several heirs of stockings, and some of the other. Of the whole of the store. In some cases a whole outfit was arranged for children on their side go to school with all manner of drums and toys of the most important and most popular Chinese. Righted by with electricity. Fully 800 people were in attendance. This was the Christmas celebration of the Union Baptist Church. We had a splendid place for a Sunday morning, a pastime proached "The Unspeakable Gift". His sermon on the "Birth of Christ" made a profound impression. The Sunday School was well developed as a "theater" and a "Sundance" performance. The B.Y.P.U. and the Mids�ary services were well attended also. At 7:50 p.m. our pastor delivered a grand sermon on "Holomos" "People" and the same words of the "Agnite" and Accepted blanches. Our revival will begin on Watchnight. St. Mark's Church Rev. Brooks appeared at his best both morning and evening. His subject was "God's Gift to the World." Just of his own Jesus Christ, which was the best and only lasting gift the world has ever had. Paul's life was not only a full life; but also a life that is worth while is not only a full life but an overdowling life. The greatest need of the world to-day is more than God's Christmas gift. He filled the entire world with His glory, but the dimness of our vision through lack of faith often prevents us from beholding his glory. God's Christmas gift to the world. These were the preacher's thoughts. Why not accept Him to-day? At the close of his retirement, we should accept of the greatest of all gifts. In the evening Dr. Brooks preached from Praisms 116.8: "What shall I render to God for all His goodness to me?" He carelessly entreated his hearers to ask themselves the question; then answer himself. He gave God in exchange His Son Jesus Christ. Both sermons were masterly presentations of the Word. The choir made a record of which it truly proud. While listening to their well-trained voices you could easily imagine that you were no longer in old earth. At that time, "Alleluia Forth," Mrs. M. Ransall solstitial; "There were shephards," solstitial Mrs. H. Parker; "Deum in F," Quartet, Mrs. H. Parker, Mrs. J. Fenwick, Amos Gucarautt.

A large audience was present at the Lycom and listened to a well-prepared and well-rendered program with charge vice-president and vice-president. Among the distinguished visitors at the Lycom were Miss Laura Gilles, a young school teacher from Baltimore, a niece of our own Miss Lottie Wilson, and Baldp. A Martone, a student from Drew Theological The Epworth League also rendered a very excellent program. Mrs. L. Mayfield in Lyncen program on next Sunday to be of a very unique character. Bethel Church. The prayer meeting held at Bethel last Wednesday was well attended. The members of the different departments of the church have formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of the occasion of Harold Broughton's testimonial on the occasion of his 50th birthday, January 4, 1911. All members and friends are correlated invited to co-operate. Mr. Broughton invited Bethel will celebrate the centenary of the birth of Charles Sumner. In the afternoon at 8 p.m. the following person will be the guest: S. P. Broughton and Mrs. Kate Bradford. In the evening James L. Curtia, Eog. Hog, Charles W. Anderson, and Mrs. Fannie Keyser will be the guest. This promises to be a great day at Butler. Many a heart was made glad when the Christmas boxes that Dr. Sumner and Mrs. Fannie Keyser would be gathering a few pennies to remember the older members of the church and others who had few, if any, to remember them, and the poor among them. It was a little token to show them that they had not been forgotten, for they have carried old Bethel along in the Jehovah's Christmas day the services were garrulous all day. Dr. Ramson filled the pulpit both morning and evening. In the morning he spoke upon St. Luke, and an order of St. Luke's society was present. At 6 o'clock the Allen C. H. gave an excellent program. Mr. Manton, an Italian student of Drew Seminary, delivered an interesting address. In the afternoon Dr. Bansom addressed St. Mark's Lyceum. The Christmas Festival of the Sunday School was given Friday evening of this week. Friday evening will be given over to the school, and the public is invited to join in the custom.

He served in the services in the main devotee to sing the Christmas歌剧. The Lyceum followed the usual order of services. At the Vesper service, Geo. W. Allen preached the Moees as a Christian Leader."

Dr. Butler said the about of the king car with it authority. God speaks with authority without explaining what he declares and all of the commandments were given with authority. He illustrated the point by saying that when men are victorious they do not about but cry, but when they are victorious they about the cry of victory. At the Sunday School exercises the Sunday School pupils rehearsed for the most recent session and the Sunday Leonard is the Sunday School choir. At the Vesper service last Sunday Dr. Butler continued his series of sermons, preaching on "Thoughts Preceding the Coming".

His subject was "The Preaching of St. John the Baptist summarised. Beginning in his first life he was very well-suited to the Church. Father O'Mahoney said the meaning of St. John's sermony summarised were the true attributes of peace, the reformation of conduct and morals preceded by reformation of heart or sincere penitence.

December 20 —Eight white men charged with the murdering of 20 Negroes at Slocum, Texa., are now undergoing trial, and the indications points to their conviction. A num- ber of these men have been in jail ever since the lynching, as they were not able to give bail. Negro Academy Meeting. Washington, D. C. December 21 —The fourteenth annual meeting of the American Negro Academy will be held Friday evening of next week at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church. The session this year will be devoted to exercises commensurate of those manifestations of the birth of Charles Sumner. Among those on the program are Archibald H. Grimke, president of the Academy; Prof. Kelly Miller and Justice Wendel Phillips Stadford. Dr. Washington is in his natural zone, and there is no strain for him to make his way among the civilized people of the entire world. His good mania has gone to the "four cornows of the church," a narrow-minded persons of the black race cannot hinder his dwarf marche to do the work that many of the churches have failed to do. Another great blessing is that Dr. Washington does not get the money from the colored people, but he educates every ope that keeps the truth of the situation. Through the situation, and the sooner that portion of the race that seem to mistake every good thing that is being done for them, admit that Dr. Washington is doing the work that is needed, the sooner the race will be better organized for the general good. The Nations Association, in fact, it is absurd for anyone to say that Dr. Washington has ever taught that we are satisfied with the present conditions of the race. Yours truly, C. D. COOLEY.

Martin M. Boall, an American and a member officer, is reported to have been killed during the fighting. Dominican troops were despatched on Board the American stealthship Displosion. It is reported that the Haytian Minister has advised his government to withdraw its rtoops from the border. It is the general belief in Santo Domingo that the dispute will be settled without further show of battle force. The two governments have been negotiating the same time for an adjustment to the border dispute, which is one of the standing. Haytil occupies a considerable territory claimed by Santo Domingo. The Haitian Government has time ago granted certain concessions in the contested zone to Americans, and this led to a demand by Santo Domingo for settlement of the dispute by arbitration. Baltimore's First Segregation Case. Brought to Two New York Aca. Waltham, Md., December 28.—The West establishment, which is designed to prevent con- trol people from residing in street areas, has been established with white, has relied within a week of its be- come new. Walter Gallapher, a white man, rented a house in Dumbo, a venue to Mrs. Cath- erwood. Mrs. Dixon and her family are at that Thursday. The white neigh- borhood, the block, complained to the police and authorities for the arrests of the tenant and tenants were issued yesterday. The assistance provides property of $100 in any way connected with its violation. The arrests will mean that the reacquaint- ance has been sent to the courts for final adjudication. While but few white people have been outspoken in their his- tory to the law, there is some unanticipated property owners and real estate desi- ners. City Councilman Harry Cummings and other prominent colored citizens are take a test case to the Supreme Court. Bishop James A. Handy of the African Methodist Church is at that Thursday. He spent the day safely in his home, 1341 N. Carey street. Baltimore Dots Baltimore, Md. Dec 28. The hearts of 1,500 children were made glad last Saturday, when the annual treat of the Fresh Air and Empty Stocking circle was held. The poor little tots are given clothing, toys, and gifts. Address to the children were delivered by City Councillor Harry S. Cummings. Rev J. A. Colmins and others. Miss Ida R. Cummings is the president of the circle. Such deal has been finally ratified by the congregation of Payne Meadows, Inc. in Church with the reserve Metho-congregation for $41,700. According to current rumor the Payne Savings Bank, which failed here four weeks ago, will not be able to assume business, and the depositors will receive about 10 per cent of the savings, or four per cent of the investment offered. The involvent concern of the depositors would accept stock certificates for half of their claims, but the offer was rejected. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Baltimore Steamplant company, which opened June 24, would hold Wednesday at 5 per cent dividend declared. Springfield Social Functions.

South Carolina Teachers Are Meeting This Week at Columbia. Regular Correspondence of THE AGR. Florence, B. C., December 37—it can readily be seen by strangers even that the city of Florence is destined to be the occupant of a large oilfield cultivated for eastern South Carolina. Twenty-seven years ago when a mere lade the writer came to the town of Florence, then only a village located in the north of Darlington county. 1880 it was made the capital of the new county and named Florence county. For some time there has been a feeling of commercial activity and when the part is unfolded it will be seen that there are a liberal "crowd" of business men. Florence has always stood to the front in educational matters. It has provided ample accommodations for the education of both races. The colored school built all the new nook and the town, surrounded by a lot with fencing. Florence is division headquarters for the Atlantic Coast Line. Her passenger accommodations will compare favorably with any in the State. It is a fact that the school having tapped their main line at McGee will build to Florence in the near future. The new road from Wadesboro, N. C. to Winston-Salem will soon be ready for traffic. This road will pull jointly the East Line and Norfolk and Western which opens up the rich coal fields of the west. The Coast Line will operate through trains from Charleston, S. C., to Cincinnati, Ohio. Then Florence will be numbered among the leading railroad cities of the South Florence is a great tobacco market as well as cotton—a cotton market it is. The colored people own splendid churches and have well equipped leaders in the pulpit. During the week we are to leave for Columbia South Carolina to attend the Colored State Teachers Association which meets at that famous institution of learning. Benedict College We have often meet there, and always find Dr. Osborn the tireless president, a congenial gentleman. The association has done much good in the Among those we hope to meet at the Columbia meeting will be teachers from different parts of the State, among them the names of Prof. Beck and Howard from Georgetown. Finally from Chester, Bragden from Mailing Butler from Hartsville. Fulton from Kingstree. Burgess from Timmonsville. Prolan from Sunter. Frederick from Columbia. Tegues from Columbia. Sparks from Mullins. Smart from Latta. Wilkerson from Oangeburg. Whitaker from Cundon. and President can from Burlington. The young ladies who may attend are Misses Shelton, Johnson, Gary, Thompson and Mrs Loxon from Columbia. Misses Iuec McHowell from Triton. Francis Cleaves from Columbia and Miss Dixon from Society Hill. The teachers of Richland county will receive them as their guests. In the next article a report in full of the actions of the association will be made Austin, Texas, Tidings. Austin, Tex. Dec 27.—Rev. Dr. G. C.

Washington, head of the well-known Industrial School for Negroes, located at this place, has formulated plans for the establishment of an international conference at Tuskegee of all persons in Europe or America who are directly or indirectly interested in the education and improvement of the Negro peoples of Africa. The purpose of this conference will be to discuss colonial and racial questions, but more particularly those who, either missionaries, teachers or government officials are actually engaged in any way in practical and constructive work which seeks to build up Africa's educating and improving the character and condition of the native peoples. This conference will meet at Tuskegee about the middle of January, 1912. Its purpose will be to get from the people who are on the ground a clearer and more definite notion of the actual problems involved in the reorganization, enable those who are engaged in work in Africa to see for themselves what is being done at Tuskegee in the way of educating black men, and to enable them to decide for themselves to what extent the methods employed at the Tuskegee school can be used to advantage in Africa. The number of years past missionaries from all parts of the world have been coming in increasing numbers to visit and study the methods of the Tuskegee Institute, and it is believed that this conference will prove a welcome opportunity to many others to do the same. It is expected that a permanent organization of "The Friends of Africa" may be effected as a result of the work in organizing, assisting in organizing, stimulating and directing the work of education and civilization in the Dark Continent.

The leading thinkers among the thinking leaders of the colored race are alarmed over their party's future. They are also disturbed over the disposition of the President, who is a Republican, elected to his office as a Republican, and believes in the principles of his party, to confer high favors upon those who opposed his elevation, and who have leagued off their calling, and set their mark, by opposing, often with violence, the principles that have always been associated with the Republican Party. In large part what has been written has been written with that calm that makes conviction. There is none of bitterness, which doesn't pay. THE ACE offers no apology for its Republicanism, neither does it offer any for its opposition to what we call the Democratic party. But we are moved at least to contemplation before observations so wise and strong as this from the able Charleston (W. Va) Advocate. Upon the broad platform of statesmanship one may not question the wisdom of the recent appointment of Democrat so plains of honor and profit. A Republican executive, but from a standpoint of partisan politics the Mr. Taft would seem to have erred most grievously. It is very generally believed that the present occupant of the White House would like to succeed himself. If that be true, he is aiding his cause when the plummet of his party to distribute the plummet. His own party, demoralized from the seat of November Eighth, is sadly in need of encouragement. Even where he beheaded, differences to be patched and factions to be harmonized. Where there is now discord, the titular leader of the party must bring harmony; where_info peace; where separation; where_otherwise he beheaded; party defeated, defeated at a time when it and he can less afford it than last November. It may be that from his elevated viewpoint he thinks he can see how the party is being defeated, by course which he is pursuing. Then again, he may be one of the very few men whose sense of duty is so high, whose desire to be considered broadened, that party policy wances into insignificance when an opportunity to exhibit these qualities appears. We confess an inability to divine the purposes of the President in respect of this constant robing the sinner with the garments of the believer, yet there is none so blind as not to see that the Republican party needs all the honors it can get, all the power it can command, and all the offices it may secure, to get in proper shape for what will be a memorable political struggle in 1912. The President knows, of course, the appointment of one hundred Democrats to office will not change a Democratic vote; not even the vote of the appointees. "I am no politician," President Taft is said to have remarked. We believe it. But it will not hurt the party if he should cultivate closer communion with the political leaders of his party, unless the Republican party is going entirely out of business. The Savannah (Ga.) Tribune, sober as a sober judge, and seasoned with years of experience, is also disturbed, in its own way, over the President's appointment of White to the Chief Justiceship: The recent appointment by President George W. Bush to Justice the United States, the highest judicial position in the government, has created no small degree of comment in political circles. But the fact the gentleman who has been honored by it is a Democrat, and that too one of the old school, would not have come as it does at a time when the Republican ranks are all distorted and shattered, it seems to carry with it a greater than a display of broad-mindedness on the part of the chief executive. The "ranks are indeed distorted and shattered." It may be that the President doesn't believe that they are. It can't be that he doesn't care. He has his own way, his own opinion, his own judgment, and his own plans, but there be others who can count the years of the past, and take from history the lessons for all. We hope that the great man now President, will not see his party come to hold under his leadership, if ever it SELF-RESPECT. The Asa cheerfully welcomes every effort to advance the colored people. But there is such a thing as self-respect. Colored people have a large dose of that and have been known to exercise it on more than one occasion. The Asa doubts that any set of white men and women, in search of glory, can dictate to the progressive Negroes of New York as to where they shall go, or what shall be their method or plans in travel. No hand of Esau can, no matter how simple and deft, confuse them against an immediate detection of the voice of Jacob No fancy salary handed out for slander and misrepresentation, can bribe them The New York Negro is "on," and he is "on" every day in the year If there was some way to do it, the Negroes would sue in the courts for an injunction to restrain the jobbers and wholesale merchants dealing in race prejudice mixed with ambition from a use of the name of the Negro race. The Age has fears lest some good people be impressed by the zeal with which the ladies and gentlemen advertise their wares that they have followers. They are not taken seriously. THE Age stands for Negro progress under Negro leadership. That is what the handful of nice white folk stand against. What a shame that they are able to hire any colored man to do the dirty work FEROCIOUS BEN The resupination of Dawson's boy child, who pours forth wisdom in unstemmed waves through the Atlanta Independent, excites no comment in Georgia. The patient folk of that State are resigned to the fluxion of them "greatest, grandest, noblest of men" That Ben was ferocious, THE Age has never dreamed. In a recent issue of his paper, Davis assaults J C Ashur, late editor of the Odd Fell-aw Journal and rages in fear that Mr Ashur will be appointed to office by President Taft What he writes of his brother Old Fell low cannot not only to forfeit his membership in that order, but forever exclude him from the society of gentlemen. If that trade proves one thing more than another, it proves that the writer of it has no more conception of a fraternal obligation than a Dawson razor-back has of Sunday School Davis threatens the President in the name of his order in these words. While the order is not in politics, has never and never will become active in politics as a body. It will hold a vigorous protest. It will point of any citizen no undesirable as John C. Asbury, ex-editor of the Odd Fellow's Journal, without enduring a vigorous protest. And warning, and lends his ear to two or three politicians, we will take our cause to the people at the next national election. The idea? What people? Who has any time to attend the kind of noncease that Mr Fustian threatens? We know a hundred leaders in Old Fellowship that denounce Davis, who is a very common slanderer, for this attack on one of the finest gentlemen in public life. At least, there is no indictment hanging over Mr. Asbury in the Federal courts of Pennsylvania. Is there any hangover over Mr Davis in Georgia? The negro press has been full of happy words about Mr Asbury. The braggart's word from the tongue of infamy simply emphasizes Mr. Asbury's fitness for high office. THE END OF IT. An Arkansas mob shot a white man to death the other day while the victim who was handcuffed to a deputy sheriff was on his way to Little Rock for safekeeping. The dead man was accused of having murdered the sheriff of the county last August. Booker T. Washington has given us many poignant observations on American character. He never said a truer thing than this, that if the American people persisted in lynching Negroes they would soon get into the habit of lynching white men. The Age desires to reply to Mr. Washington. Whenever the American people get into the habit of lynching white men the practice of lynching anybody will be broken up, if to do that overturns the government. Lynching was invented for colored men, not for white men. Compliments of the season to the Atlanta Independent! Its Odd Fellow's edition is highly creditable as such. Now if Ben will just get rehon, etc. The Ace does not know what is to come of all this talk about the colored members of the Methodist Episcopal Church moving out. But we do know that it is about revival time Why do the heathen rage? Did not the whale fish in the black sea of democracy beat the waters for the party of their choice? Do they not care to see all their kind, white, black and yellow, elevated, decorated, a niced in fame's eternal hall? The Louisville Columbian calls Richard W. Thompson, the famous ambassador extortionist. We don't know what that is, and we are sure that Thompson has not gotten worse that low. We have always known him as a newspaper correspondent in a high class all by himself. May we suggest to the bright Durham Reformer that, with every respect for the many institutions within its territory, and with a particular delight in the success of the insurance companies owned and conducted by colored men in that city—may we suggest that no poetry dedicated to the inspiring deeds of a corporation be allowed to again trickle through its otherwise instructive columns. NOTE AND COMMENT The Rev. N. K. Vass of Raleigh, N. C., is a leader of the last known man, engaged in the spit of the people. For many years Dr. Vass has been Secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society among the colored people; the real leader of the Lott Carey Baptist Convention, and the force behind the Baptist Seminel. Dr. Vass, like so many not connotant with conditions and unacquainted with the man, was a violent opponent of Booker Washington. Not long ago the great Baptist preacher set out to visit the greatest Baptist layman at Tuskegee, there to see for himself what manner of man was this Washington. Mr. Vass has been writing to the press of the wonderful things he saw at Tuskegee, and of the impression Mr. John has long been prominent in the petition of the state of Ohio. For a year he was a vice-president of the Ohio State University and held office at Tuskegee until he got tired of it, so they may. Two years ago he was elected Grand Chancellor of Ohio. As a political contender in the first class, the Republican State Committee had request upon request for Cottillio as a speaker, in the two last campaigns. South Carolinians generally are very proud of the reputation of Whitfield McKenna, a collector of the Port of Georgetown, D. C. The position is in fact the colonyhip of the port of Washington, but someone has called it "Port of Georgetown" and that name will stand. Mr. McKenna is one of the best known and most famous men in Washington, a native of South Carolina, and representative of its best. PREMATURE AND MEMORIAL Are the Deductions of the Census That Prove That the Mississippi Migrants Are Deceiving? From the Wickbury Herald () In a comment upon Mississippi population census figures the Times-Democrat said that when the population by races is given it will be shown that the decrease has been mainly among the Negroes; and that the Negro majority is much smaller than it ever was before—if the present tendencies continue, Mississippi will soon become, as Louisiana has become in the last twenty years, a white state. The immigration is mainly white, the emigration largely Negro, driven out by the boll weevil. Imigration as an influence on our state population is a negligible quantity. As to the race proportions white. ANDERSON HONORED A Appointed Along With Man Collebrities on Writings, Charles W. Anderson, Col. Internal Revenue and the no public leader of the Southern leader committee, which will to arrange a testimonial to Philanthrop, but his name will not now. The committee is composed of lights of New York. The Appeal to Reason, the cracking whip of the group of socialists that doesn't care for government at all, calls President Taft a "mush head," and abuses him for appointing Justice White Chief Justice on the ground that he is a Jesuit Now a man who would abuse the President in such fashion ought to be put in jail. Our objection to the appointment of Justice White was on no ground of religion. It was an another, and, we believe, a higher ground. The Appeal reminds us that Justice McKenna is a Catholic. Good The American Negro has nothing to lose in the progress of the Catholic Church in temporal things. On the other hand, the race has much to gain. Dr. Washington is the most prominent figure before the American public to-day, and he will continue to grow in favor and popularity despite his would-be defenders — The Durham Reform- Most everybody understands that Mr Washington's "would-be defamers," black and white, bond and free, are mad with jealousy, and poke up their trirad in a vain attempt to "get into print." Mr Washington goes his way, lion-like, the most prominent figure before the American public." The louder the wall of the empty lamenters, the closer around their great leader gather the American blacks --- The confirmation of Whitefield McKenlay as Collector of the Port of Georgetown, D.C., a happy job for an excellent gentleman, reminds us Taft has appointed Cottrell, Johnson, Bush, McKenlay, and several more of those that he "stinguished" as Bill Nye used to say. Other selections, including Napier are on the way. They say that he will not appoint Lewis Assistant Attorney General. Perhaps. But we believe he will. If he doesn't, we suggest that a letter he sent to England, whose rules are spokesmen never appoint a black man to anything and fuss about it. Ireland Identify is one of the few journals edited by colored men, titles by election and refuses to truth at all times. In order to get the facts, when reading the Pacific whirl, it is best to hold it upside down. For example, Dr. Booker T. Washington, whose son is a student at Harvard and owns a three or four thousand dollar automobile, and dresses in the very latest Booker T. himself, lives in grand style. Every word of that sentence is as crookedly untrue as ever a slander could be. Dr. Washington has two sons. One, Dr. Johnson, Jr., is a student at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., the other, E. Davidson, is studying at Talladega College in Alabama Both these colleges are devoted to educating colored men and women The charge that either of these boys owns a "three or four thousand dollar automobile" is too silly for answer. What is said of Dr. Washington is too apparently vulgar for notice The Advocate could better employ its minutes and its talents The Richmond Planet pays its respects to the sundown "leaders" of the Negro people in this choice and searching language. Speaking of race leadership, one has to consider conditions. Too many of our people think that by antagonising everything some other worthy colored people in this continent ability as leaders. When it comes to tearing down, these leaders occupy the front of the stage. When it comes to building up, you can see their coat-tails as they rush out of the building, who can lead upward, and not wind-mill leaders, who lead downward. Editor Mitchell has had a long experience with men, and he has achieved much for the people and for himself; he is therefore competent to speak of the "windmill leaders" New York for many years was free from the breed, but the turning years have made many changes. The worst "leader," however, is not the "windmill" kind, often they are harmless. We have now a new brand, the highbrowed gentlemen who are hired by white people to rob the Negro of all race pride by assailing the dignity and efficiency of Negro leadership. Why it would be a deuced pretty come-off in this country if the American "white" man should hire a Hebrew to slander Hebrew leadership or attempt to tell the Hebrew people what they should do and say, when how, and where. The Rev. N. M. Vass of Raleigh, N. C., is one of the most known men engaged in work, and a splith of the people for many years Dr. Vass has been Secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society among the colored people, the real leader of the Lott Carry Baptist Convention, and the force behind the Baptist Seminel. Dr. Vass, like so many men not conversant with conditions and unacquainted with the man, was a violent opponent of Booker Washington. Not long ago the greatest Baptist preacher set out to visit the greatest Baptist layman at Tuskegue, there to see for himself what manner of man was this Washington. Mr. Vass has been writing to the press of the wonderful things he saw at Tuskegue, and of the impression Mr. Washington made upon him. One of his letters was sent to the National Baptist Union Review: Dr. Booker T. Washington is not only a great educator and race leader, he is also the bar of a Missionary Baptist Church, and what is best of all, he confesses that man and is a true and loyal Baptist. He is the leader of the republic, for no man is better and more favorably known and no one can draw a larger audience to hear him speak. I saw a side of him the other day in Tukegee that made me very proud of him. There are several Baptist churches and around Tukegee town, and there are many in Tukegee and weak in some respect. Dr. Washington is doing all he can to get these churches to unite, since no difference exists between them. He made a beginning while he invited me to be present. I attended and found a large and enthusiastic number of men representing the different churches that had come out chiefly for the meeting. He was as respected in Tukegee as anywhere on earth and more so. He had a light luncheon served at the beginning of the meeting and thus all were invited. He was the object of the meeting and asked each one to express himself. They discussed causes of differences, and each one was frank and true, and learned enough was learned to know that it might be sible for all these people to unite before so very long and build up and support one strong church that will be the center of denomination and race to the thousands who annually visit that historical place. For my part, I suggested that if they would get it into their heads what a church would be that they would willingly sacrifice small things to that one great end. I visit to Tuskegee and a stay of ten days dining and counseling with Dr. Washington and studying the man and interpreting his works and actions that Dr. Washington has convinced me that Dr. Washington of our race who richly deserves the support of us all and so far as I am concerned he shall have my entire faith in him and never before. He is an example to us in all things, and I sincerely hope that more of our great laymen will cry for churches to unite into one great body. On another page will be found an important utterance by the Vickersburg Daily Herald, Mississippi's strongest newspaper. It is a surprising defense of the Negro farmer in particular and the Negro people in general. The significance of it may be embraced only by those who have followed the course of this journal since the brilliant McNeill has had control of it. The charge that the Negro in this State is dying out is nototted and the very stubborn fact of his increase is emphasized. Instead to the Negro tenant fleeing in despair before the rays of the boll wreath the Herald shows that what evil overtook the farmers and planters was occasioned by the capacity of the merchant, and the lack of judgment by the producing class. And all things considered, this announcement from the Herald will prove a comfort to the Negro race of Mississippi. Charles Banks, with accustomed vision and wisdom, addresses the editor of the Herald as follows: I have read with much interest your editorial of the 21st instant, on "Premature and Misleading Census Deductions" and among my people great concern as to just where migration and immigration have been felt, yet the deductions you make, along with quotations from the sources, are most significant and impressive. Your-evident inclination to deal fairly with the Negro, giving him all that he has reasonably stood his ground in the face of the dreaded dotted beak weevil, and that in most cases migrated by reason of necessity; this view you take in your editorial concern in your editorial confirm the oft-repeated statement by a large majority of the right-thinking Negroes of the South, of the South, we find true friends to humanity, and as to questions involving equity and right, the two races ultimately work them out same and sound the glory and honor of all concerned. MAINLY ABOUT PEOPLE A short time ago A. V. Jones, the only colored member of the Oklahoma Republican Committee was draped from membership. There was no explanation of the action of the Committee at the time, and none has since been forthcoming. There were those who fell back on "race prejudice," and others who said it was a case of "dirty politics." Immediately the colored press of the state became divided. Mr. Jones made a statement through The Oklahoma Safeguard, in which he charged the Committee, in which he was involved, and selfishness. The Wagoner American and the Climat, two responsible publications, are out in statements of defense of the state-colored member of the Committee going and coming. If Mr. Jones has much more to say these papers threaten to expose him." Mr. Jones ought to be more careful. The colored member is worse than being exposed. Mr. Jones is a lawyer. Charles K.

Ohio years ago he was elected Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Ohio as a political orator he is in the first year of his tenure. Committee had request upon request for Cottill as a speaker, in the two last campaign. South Carolinians generally are very proud of the confirmation of the appointee of the Whitfield McKinlay as Collector-of-the-Funds of D.C. The position is in fact the collectionist of the port of Washington, away back he got to calling it "Port of Washington" of that name will stand. Mr. McKinlay is one of the best known and most successful men in Washington, a native of South Carolina, and representative of its best. THE NEGRO PRESS Like Father. Like Son.

The birthdays of such men as William Lloyd Garrison, Lovejoy, Phillips, Sumner, Lincoln and Brown should be kept before the young colored Americans, who were born on the birth of Charles Sumner is January 6, 1911.

They Don't Square John The thought that mankind is repudiating the doctrine of the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of mankind, is plaining one poor in the university of the Babe of Bothechem. To see those who loudly proclaim allegiance to His teachings refusing fellowship to the fellow of color, makes neither for belief in their sincerity nor for the cause which they espouse. If the sermon on the Mount furnishes a tale by which they refuse to be guided, how can they refuse to acknowledge equality with themselves of the humblest of His creatures before the Master? How do they square up the precept of the Golden Rule with their example—Charleston W. W. Advocate.

He was also forced to accept the white man's law and rating of him in the world of matrimony. We have seen that the conditions in the daily and weekly publications with shame and sometime with pity.

The exhibit of the Holy Drama presented in the moving picture show, at St. Mark's M E. Church, and I sup pose is only one of the many now being exhibited throughout civilization, we must admit, there is much to be praised, and might count for education of the spectators. There is also the harmful and danger side. We are living in a peculiar age, the reverence and respect for holy personage throughout conception is low, very low. The present condition compels this, therefore, we must be careful as to the encouragement we give to those things that may in the end prove harmful to our youth and generations. Every religious service and prayer, every sacrifice, must be raised to higher the standard and respect for our religion, and any act or method that tends to degrade is not helpful, and should be viewed with alarm. The moving picture shows have not added anything to the morals of any community, which they have invaded. If a thing is common or damaging in a history, because it is performed in a church? The Passion Play will lose its influence and fall short of the lesson it ought to teach, the moment it becomes common, or when it is reduced to the commendation of the audience, or then, as a soul-lifter and inspiration to holiness, the power is lost. Therefore, without further argument, we urge that the promoters, if they would have this drama, the world's greatest tragedy, the purpose, of which the pen is being knife freely. Do not besmirge with filth, a thing so noble, perfect and beautiful. GEORGE YOUNG (From the Vickabury Herald) In a comment upon Mississippi population census figures the Times-Democrat said that "when the population by race is given it will be shown that the decrease has been mainly among the Negroes; and that the Negro majority is much smaller than it ever was before." If the present tendencies continue, Mississippi will soon become, as Louisiana has become in the last twenty years, a white state. The immigration is mainly white the immigration largely Negro, driven out by the boll weevil. Immigration as an influence on our state population is a negligible quantity. As to the size of proportions, while it is possible to draw definitely until the race tables are given out, the figures as we have read them do not justify the conclusion above stated. This we will show, first quoting further from the Times-Democrat: In the seven counties along the river from the Louisiana line to Greenville, Adelaide, Washington and Wilkinson, the population the last ten years declined from 161,521 to 146,521, the great bulk of this loss has been, of course, in Negroes. The loss is more than made up by whites, the population, mainly white, into the number district. In the fifteen counties of southwest Louisiana, 68,521 or nearly 48 per cent has been greatest, the population increased in the decade from 164,159 to 219,757. The population of 68,521 or nearly 48 per cent has lost population from the boll weevil extends from the Louisiana line to the Zaxcoo river—a hundred miles south of the Mississippi. States accession to the counties of Warren, Clalborne, Jefferson, Adams and Wilkinson. But the loss has been a more shift from the counties below to the counties above. The population of Bollivar and Lefore gained 26,304, while all five of the counties south of that stream lost 18,101. And while 68,521 or nearly 48 per cent east? Mississippi have gained 68,527 population, mainly white," the eight Delta counties of Sharkey, Sunflower, Lefore, Bolivar, Cochoma, Tunica, Lefore, Bolivar, Malacite, have gained 68,185, mainly black. For the purpose of correction we quote further from the Times-Demo- When the boll weevil has come the Negro has become demoralized and fled, looking for the contrary, has adapted himself to the new conditions, looking for some other age on the first appearance of the boll weevil along the great river whose name the Negro and an unreasonable exodus set in from the plantations, that threatened to lose its lands, and to lose its losses to the planters and land owners well as trouble and suffering to the Negro whether, without any provision for their selves and likely to become burdens on the community, very energetic campaigns to resist the Negro was no disposition to prevent the emigration of the Negroes, but only to allay the Negroes, to get them and to get them to listen to reason. Upon all the facts that have come to the knowledge of the Herald, whatever of "panic" there was among the Negroes was largely due to the action of merchants and land owners. After a year of the boll weevil there was not only no disposition by some supply merchants and planters to prevent Negro migration—they were so demoralized that they called in Delta planters to pay the debts remaining against the laborers, after stripping them of work stock, and take them to the Delta. In this transaction the Negro had no option. Few would ever have migrated until they have been assured of working stock and living supplies for the ensuing year. In this the actual fear of starvation, which has insurance against was extended a year ago, led to the "panic which a very energetic," but belated, "campaign became necessary to check." But it is not so that "the Negroes were fleeing they knew not whither, without any provision for themselves," etc. For every family that left there were two Delta planters eager to guarantee them "provisions." It is not strange that after the migration was thus given headway by some, that it involved other land owners who exhausted every persuasion to induce their labor to stay with them. The contention that the Negroes were not primarily responsible for the panic which has involved a serious loss of tenantry in the boll weevil territory, is sustained by the fact that in some of the Louisiana boll weevil parishes the white land owners resisted it successfully. Concordia, Catahdula, Rapidie, Avoyelles and other boll weevil flies, gain in population. The facts of the case that with prompt and proper action by the orchards and planters "Negroes will home for homes elsewhere." Where the land owners have done their part there is no doubt but what their labor has, and will "adapt themselves to the new conditions." On this point all planters in this vicinity have much more confidence than they had a year ago. MoDOUGALD'S DINNER, SURE. In Aid of His Purposes. Plans, Ambitions, Desires and Designs. It happened over almost nothing, that supper given Monday evening at Henry's Empire restaurant, Harlem's "Eating place," by Philip A. Patton, a patron of the restaurant, Patton. The other night at Dr C. H. Roberts' house in West Fifty-third street, Assistant District Attorney McDougall said it was. What? Not telling it was. What? Not telling it was. The whole thing ended up in a five-course dinner with "apperlain'n" and an evening otherwise distinctive in the city. There was a vacant chair—only one, but the people's lawyer that chair looked like a dozen empty cane bottoms. There were no apesches, although the party present were no far in the joke that properly it might be called their affair. Henry tried himself on the apesches, and the party tried itself in striking appreciation of the things before them. The guests included Mr. and Mrs. Philip A. Payton, Jr. and Mrs. W. T.

C., Dec. 37—Congressman R. L. Taylor, of Ohio, made a splendid fight to secure an equal portion of the school appropriation for the District of Columbia for colored schools. Mr. Taylor has extended that the colored schools should have a per cent equal to the school rollment, which would mean 23 per cent of the appropriation fixed for the public schools of the District shall to the colored schools. As year, to the fair and fair hand of O. C. Taylor, the colored schools received 36 per cent of the appropriation which was fully double that determined upon by the School Board. This year when the estimates were presented to the Appropriation Committee of the House, of which Mr. Taylor is a member, he had the estimates mandated back for revision, and as a result the appropriation equal to 33 per cent of the whole, and will enable the Board of Education to provide a new building for M Street High School, Armstrong Manual Training School, and other extensive improvements, facilities, equities and amenities required for the now over-crowded and poorly equipped colored school here. Congressman Taylor, who has ably seconded by his fellow-member of the Appropriation Committee, is being praised by the Negroes of Washington.

When WILL Come the Long-Promised Peace? And When the Good Will to Men?—Nations Still Making Unprecedented Preparations For War. CHATTANOO GAM, Tenn. Dec. Sixth—Pastor Russell Tabernacle preach- d here today in the afternoon on The Great Here- after," and in the foreground from the text below quoted. On both occasions his audiences sat spellbound for a more severe time than the majority have been in the habit of listening to a comet. Deep eagerness was also manifested to receive from the usheres of the close free copies of Pastor Russer's Booklet on "What Say the Scriptures About Hall?" The speaker said: "Highness centuries and more have been since Israel's greatest Prophet, Jesus, and forth his message of reconciliation to God. At the time of his arrest, visited visitors, announcing him, that his birth signified the end of the world, which he to be remembered and that this would mean earth and good will amongst Israel (Luke 11, 10, 11). Yet after centuries, centuries these prophecies are still fulfilled. We find the world in warlike condition at present than ever before. Europe has a standing army of over a million of the picked men of its several nations. And even our own country has deemed it necessary to considerably increase its standing army. On every sea we are great battleships requiring thousands of men and millions of dollars for their upkeep, not to mention the millions of dollars which they originally cost. And still more war vessels are planned with greater guns, some of which expend thousands of dollars for powder and shells for even one day's target practice. It is safe to say, too, that the chief interest in and chief backing of recent experiments in naval navigation come from the War Departments of Christendom, which too in such devices a new method of torpedoing ships is that a new torpedo has recently been invented more powerful, more destructive, more terrible, than any previous device. What means this great battle hryr, this preparation for a great struggle between the nations? Why do not the nations disband their armies and disband their navies and turn these wast energies to human profit, to making the earth to blossom as the rose? The answer is—Sin. Sin marred the original God-likeness of love in the human heart and, instead, implanted the opposite disposition of selfishness. By morbidity sin and selfishness have permeated our race. As we read, "Beheld we was in iniquity, in alia another conceive me (Psalm 116). This truth here we have. We glop the surface. We make a show of giving a little money to the education of the heathen. We make a little show of religious activity in Christendom, but the great surplus of wealth is spent in self-gratification—alcoholic beverages alone consume the manyfold the amount dotted out to insolvent enterprises of all kinds Peace, Peace; but No Peace. For centuries the world has been crying out, "Pence, Peace, yet there is no peace," but still greater preparation for war. Why? Because, despite our gloss of civilization, the world well known its own selfishness, its own greed, its own thirst for power and its wisely reasons that in others selfishness and good similarity rule. Hence, with all their protestations of friendship all the governments of the world distrust, dislike one another. And now we have reached a place where the disbanding of the armies of the world would be a dangerous matter. Another million of the labor market, already gluttonous and damnous, must to leave our cities unprotected would invite anarchy in every land. We are not endorsing to discourage game conferences and federations. We are merely calling attention to facts—unacceptable facts. The Scriptures graphically describe the present condition. They give us a great painting of what is now going on, saying, "Beat your plow shares into graves and your pruning books into graves. Let the weak boast that they are strong" and endeavor to keep pace with the strong. "Come, get ye down in the Valley of Jehoshaphat"—the valle of death—the place of the great angel with which the reign of the place of Darkness shall terminate and which will prepare the way for Meaek and Kingdom Goel III. 9-13. Thank God for the assurances of his word that the great "time of trouble, such as better was since there was a nation," which is about to burst upon the world, whose masses are better educated than ever before and trained the use of all military equipments, will be but a short struggle! The initiation of the Scriptures is that if these days should not be shortened, such would survive. But for the sake alike-by virtue of the Kingdom of Israel elect being established--those days shall be shortened. Then will ensure the reign of the Prince of Peace Here, we see the prologue scene, as well as the same scene. Believes who had been the king, and every tongue confessed. The king, desirous of righteousness will be a King, desirous of peace, notwithstanding the fact that it will be asked in by such a time of trouble. "I Came Not to Send Peace." But do the Scriptures contradict themselves? What did the Great Teacher mean when he declared, "I came not to send peace on the earth, but a sword?" Matthew x. 24.) All he prophetically to the effect which his gracious message of love and favor would produce in the world during the reign of sin. He well knew that the Prince of Darkness would oppose all of his followers, as well as himself. He foretold that whoever would live godly would suffer persecution—and so it became. Eighten centuries have proven it! He sent forth his followers, like himself, unarmed, to be peacemakers, to be helpers, to "follow peace with all men and holiness, without no man shall see the Lord." He counseled his followers, "He that taketh the sword shall perish by the sword." But their message of peace and love and the coming Kingdom which shall bless the whole world and fulfill the angelic prophecy of our text—these things seem to anger the world—not merely the vicious, the ungody, but the worldly professors of godliness who have schemes and plans and theories of their own to work out which are contrary to the Gospel Message. The darkness, more or less mixed with selfharm, hates the light, the Truth, the love of God, neither cometh to the light, lest its deeds of darkness, selfharm, selfish ambition and hypocrisy should be made manifest. The Master knew what the effects of his Gospel Message would be in the world and that only those who would compromise his Message could possibly live at peace—that all who would be loyal and faithful to him would be traduced, slandered, persecuted—"beheaded," either literally or figuratively. His words, therefore, were a prophecy respecting the tribulations which all his footstep followers would surely have. But more than this, his words were a prophecy respecting the nations. What is it that has brought us to our present degree of civilized savagery? What is it that makes of every business corporation a buccaneer seeking the treasure of the financial craft? What is it that has thus sharpened the wits of humanity to such an extent that the majority find it difficult to be honest, because they see so many opportunities for dishonesty, while it is impossible for law makers to make new laws with sufficient rapidity to keep pace with the in intelligent methods of circumvention. The laws, doctrines, of Christ are, in a certain sense, responsible for all this. The liberty wherewith Christ makes free his followers and the light which he and they let shine upon a darkened world, received in part into unscientific hearts and minds, have given wisdom that, misapplied, we call cunning and craft. The proof of what we say is found in the fact that other nations have reflected light of Christianity, and still quite in the background. Only now, as Christian civilization in a perverted form is teaching these peoples are they awakening and becoming competitors with so called Christendom. In our advanced conceptions of finance, warfare etc., a pertinent question worths of deep thought, is. Will it be possible to live in the world at all after the greatest financial minds shall have "must trust" all of the world's bustiness, and after the labor organizations shall have had their say as to who shall and who shall not earn a living, and after the teeming millions of China and Japan shall have become thoroughly civilized and Christianized after the nominal sort? Would not the borders of the comma overwhelm the comma perfectly little bit more America? What is the prospect of the fulfillment of the prophecy of our text "Peace on earth, good will toward men"? There is no prospect from the earthly sources toward which we have been looking. If that prophecy is ever to be fulfilled it must be by some Divine intervention in human affairs. The Desire of All Nations Coming. The Death of All Nations Coming. Notwithstanding the eighteen centuries of delay our text as a prophecy will surely be fulfilled, and be fulfilled, too, by and through the One whom the angels announced and whose birth is very generally celebrated today. The Great Teacher, questioned by Pillate, answered that he was born to be a King—King of the Jews; but he was adored, "My Kingdom this Alms." How true! Many of us have gotten the wrong impression—that our Redeemer has been waging, as the Great King of Glory, an unsuccessful warfare for eighteen centuries against Satan, sin and death. But here we learn from the Great Teacher's own lips that his Kingdom is not of this Age. It belongs to the "world to come"—the Age to come. Do we inquire, then, who has been the ruler of this world, this Age? The answer of the Master is that Satan is the Prince of this world. He is an usurper. The dominion of earth was given to man. But Satan, deceiving our race, putting darkness for light, has become thereby the real ruler, using humanity merely as his tools. He is styled "the god of this world," and the "Prince of this world," or age. And we are fearful of the empires, the hearts of the children of disobedience. When we reflect how many of humanity are disobedient, we see the vastness of the empire controlled by the Prince of darkness. And when we see the few, comparatively, who are soldiers of the cross and followers of the Lamb we perceive that, as the Master Correspondence that is sent to this office written on both sides of the paper will not be printed—Bill. with his following during this age is to be a "little rock." Purpled and confused many may ask. What then, is the hope of the fulfillment of our text, "Tesco on earth, good will toward men?" We answer that our Master, who declared that he was not the Prince of this age, declared also that his Kingdom of the next age will be introduced with power and great glory and that, although its initial manifestation will be with clouds and darkness and with some of trouble he bore, he has been trifecta his reign will be with horious, trifecta and eternal, he shall take unto himself his great power and reign" until "he shall have put all enemies under his feet;" the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. "Uto him every knee shall bow and every tongue confess." The victory of Emanuel means the overthrow of sin—the crushing of the scorpent's head. At the very beginning of his glorious reign Satan shall be bound and following its close be shall be destroyed in the Second Death, together with all those who love unrightnessness, after they shall have had full knowledge and full opportunity for recovery from the snarees of sin and death. Then, indeed, the whole world will proclaim the glory of God. There will no longer be discordant sounds. As the Scriptures declare. There shall be no more crying, no more sighing, no more dying—all the former things of sin and death shall have passed away (Rev. xx. 41) The Great Restorer of All. The great King who, eighteen centuries ago, died, the Just for the unjust, that he might, judicially, bring mankind back into harmony with God, is to be the Great King of earth, the great Restorer of all that was lost in Adam, and he will make all things new" (Revelation xi. 5). Everything appertaining to this great Plan of Salvation outlined in the Word of God is reasonable. The crucial testing of the elect Church is necessary in order that, as faithful and merciful priests of God and of Christ, associated with him in his kingly glory, they may be God's instrumentality in succoring mankind from the fallen conditions which have resulted from six thousand years of sin, and from the malignant influence of the Prince of darkness, during the thousand years which the Bible stipulates as the period of Messiah's reign (Revelation xx. to a period neither too long nor too short in which to accomplish the great work of the world's salvation, True, some one might say If it has required eighteen centuries for the development of the Church, how much more time will be necessary for the uplifting of the world? But we answer that it is not the Divine Purpose to uplift the world to the station of spirit nature and glory, but rather to restitution blessings and conditions. We have offered to the Church that such crucial testsings of sacrificial obedience even unto death is required. With the Prince of darkness bound and the Sun of Righteousness arising with healing in its beams the darkness of sin and crime and sorrow will soon flee away One century of such blessed influence upon the world will surely work wonders, bringing in also inventions and comforts and blessings, as yet undreamed of. Next will come the gradual awakening of all who have fallen asleep in death. They will come forth from the prison house of death, as the Scriptures declare, will come forth that they may be made acquainted with the true God and with his glorious Son the Redeemer and with the principles of righteousness in contrast with the principles of sin. We cannot suppose that it will require the majority of men under those conditions, to sit long counting the value of the blessings of eternal life and restitution proffered them. The upward move, resurrection, uplifting, regeneration, will go rapidly on, while meantime, generation after generation shall come forth from the tomb and enjoy similar experiences. Finally all shall have come forth, because the love of God made this provision through the death of our Deeperem, who delighted to do the Father's will and who has already been rewarded gloriously with high exaltation to the divine plane of glory, honor and immortality Geed Will Amongst Men. The attainment of the condition of good will amongst men will mean the attainment of human perfection. God is Love. And when our first parents were created an earthly image of God, love must have been the predominant quality of their characters. What we see of selflessness is largely a matter of heredity, and all of life's customs are in line with it and continually increasing its weight and its hold upon us. But with the new King and the new glofnessiness will come the glorified, fifteenth-century Gradually, during the thousand years of Messiah's domination of the world, the evile of selflessness will be made apparent and the beauties of beliness and love will be shown in contrast. Restitution rewards will lift all the willing and obedient up out of sin and selflessness to holiness and love. Then with love the very essence of man's being, good will towards men will every where prevail, because the Divine law almost effaced through the reign of sin, will be rewritten in the human constitution. That Law, as we know, is, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy mind with all thy strength, and thy neigh bor as thyself." Finally dear friends, how glad we are that this is true; how glad we are that the terrible falsehoods palmed off on us during the Dark Ages respecting a God of hatred and a hell of torture everlasting are not true!

Thursday afternoon we met the annual election of officers of the W. Lymosum was held at the church. The election was interesting and spirited, but there was a marked absence of the slaves that have broadly accompanied the election. Rev. Brooks, the pastor, presided. The candidates for president were: John E. Robinson, editor of The Advocate and Counsellor Wilfred A. Smith, the chief backer of Robinson was George Young, while Mr. Smith's sponsor was the old wheel horse, W. T. E. Richardson, the counsellor, whose ten votes being necessary to a choice. On the first and second ballots the vote was thirteen to twelve in favor of Robinson, and the second vote was sixteen to nine in favor of Robinson. Mr. Robinson is a former president of the Loyceum, and his elec- tion is one of the most progressive presidents the organization ever had. The other officers elected are as follows. H. J. Semilacr, vice-president; H. J. Richardson, secretary; Harold J. Moore, corresponding secretary; Charles Williams, treasurer; Miss Edith Leonard, critic; E. N. Broadnax, chaplain; William T. R. Bradnax, treasurer; Walter A. Handy, executive board. Dr. Brooks announced at the end of the second ballot that he expected to stay all night unless the election was retained in Mr. Richardson's office, as agreed to the board for the fifteenth year. N. Loyd Gilbert Licensed. Last Friday evening a large gathering of members of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church assembled in the church of St. Lloyd Gilbert, the third child of Dr. M. W. Gilbert. Many of the young people, who are friends of young Mr. Gilbert, are invited to the effort as a preacher. He can afford profound impression upon the large assemblage, and the church with rare enthalism and with unanticipation, voted to present of these exercises Dr. Gilbert opened the covenant meeting, and every soul who spoke during the evening referrer to the covenant meeting, and livered by the pastor's son, and at the conclusion of the service a large number came up to congratulate the occasion. One of the most delightful features of the evening was the presentation to the young licensed preacher of the longest brother of Master Ralph Mark Gilbert, one of the Royal Bible Fand. Master Ralph is only 11 years old, but made a splendid impropmtu speech which was greeted with unanimous applause by the congregation. Buffalo Briefs Buffalo, N.Y., Dec 21—Mr. and Mrs. Jas. A.

The Beautiful Westoheater Negro is Affiliated With an Ignorant Negro Preacher—Run Him Out! We regret very much to see that there is still opposition to a work of this kind by some of our pastors, some being so bitter against every thing that does not suit their fancy as to refuse a Christian Literary Society admission into the church. We are reminded of the Y M C A organized in our city some two years ago and how it was encoded by some because the meetings were held in league. It is possible that the organization of the Y M C was tiled to the old and now of the Young Men's Christian Literary Society will plant and reap the grain. At any rate we are with them despite the antagonistic disposition of some rules of all—one "pastor" Rev. M O Haynes and Rev. W. H. Rlater, the Chris and the German, made very timely remarks and before the young men to on. They said that it required good men to build up and organization and very little effort to destroy it. Both pastors offered the use of their churches when necessary and invited them to worship at their churches at all times.

THEATRICAL COMMENT LAST week in Division 5 of the Supreme Court, Indianapolis, Mme Cordelia McClaim was awarded a decree of divorce from Billy McClaim. Both parties to the suit are well known in the theatrical world. The defendant is living abroad and has not yet learned that he is a single man. Mme. McClaim secured a legal separation by alleging that the defendant was guilty of cruelty. While testifying she exhibited a piece of bone which she averred was taken from her head as the result of a beating she received from McClaim in London The McClaims have been separated for about a year. When word was first received in this country of the marital troubles of the couple the name of a promising male singer, now appearing abroad in vaudeville, was prominently mentioned McClaim did not contest the suit. Vaudevillians Having Trouble Abroad. With considerable regularity of late reports have been reaching THE Age office of the plight in which some of our colored Thespians have found themselves after signing contracts to appear in vaudeville abroad for a year or more. In almost every instance the performer has found himself thousands of miles away from home and with a bundle of contracts as susceptible to breakage as Dresden china Although the elasticity of the ordinary foreign contract is well known to our performers, yet many of them, upon going abroad (possibly through force of habit), attach their signatures to the contracts presented them in about the same manner in which they perform such an apparently onerous duty to appear at our theatres in this country—sign their names to contracts without much scrutiny—trusting to luck that everything will work out favorably in the end. Many of our performers have a habit of hurriedly making contracts, seldom investigating closely the contents contained therein. Later when they discover something embodied in the document not to their liking they grow highly indignant and become contract-breakers. The proper thing to do is carefully read your contracts before signing, which would avoid no little inconvenience to all concerned. But returning to the performer who hastily makes a contract to appear in vaudeville abroad. With him it is usually a case of sign in haste, repent at leisure, and many leisure moments does he have on his hands—and far, far away from home, too. Colored performers should remember that colored acts are no longer novelties, unless possessing novel features other than from the standpoint of color. There was a time when a mediocre act made a big hit because the performers were colored, but no longer is a dark-skinned vaudevillian a rarity in Europe. So, do not be led into precipitately signing contracts for the other side and across the ocean building air castles as you float about how you are going to startle the natives. Possibly you will when you ask them to aid you to return to America. Just now the race is making enough urgent appeals to Europeans. More About the Howard Theatre If the Howard Theatre has done nothing else it has given the scribes plenty of opportunity to tell the public what they know and don't know about the successful operation of a colored theatre and why the Washington house has been a failure to date. At this writing the readers of THE ACE will not be burdened with another article on "Why the Howard Has Not Been Successful"—only a little piece of information, to wit—the reorganized Howard Stock Company which is once more making a bid for popular favor in the capital city. Monday the stock company opened in a musical show entitled "The Blackville Corporation," J Leubrie Hill writing the book and Will Vodery the music. The principal parts are played by J Leubrie Hill, William Brown, Richard W Sheilton, Louis Mitchell, Coleman Minor, S Hutchinson, Leona Marshal, Mayne Butler, Fvonne Robinson and Hattie Ackers. The company gave a creditable performance Monday evening. After this week the organization will go on the road, appearing in many of the principal cities of the South. Last Friday William H. Smith, former manager of the Howard Theatre, scored a legal victory against Messrs Rosenthal and Benedict, the owners of the house, securing judgment against the defendants for one week's salary. It is Manager Smith's intention to sue each week and recover judgment on his contract, which does not expire for several months. When the Howard Theatre closed after finding vaudeville unprofitable during the fall, Manager Smith's services were dispensed with, although he had contracted to fill the position of house manager for one year. At the time he was not averse to resigning, provided he was given his salary for the full twelve month. Rosenthal and Benedict refused to meet the demands made by Mr. Smith, hence the suit. J.

The J C Rockwell Sunny South Company was organized in 1903 Jas. W Turner has been in the employ of Manager Rockwell with all his white shows and having filled the important positions of stage manager and producer since the company's first opening, performing his duties for seven seasons to the staff of manager and public Mr Turner has been the means of Mr Rockwell having had some of the best colored musicians and performers in his employ. His hands, although small have always been recognized as being among the leaders in their class. This season George Thomas a pupil of P G Lowery, has succeeded in bringing the band up to a standpoint that has been considered by the public just short of marvelous. With such men as Teddy Redmond, euphonium solost, and Lewis Bedford, cornet solost and with the careful work of the rest of the musicians they render marches, solos, and selections under the baton of Mr Thomas with all the brilliance and technique of a band of 40. We have just begun our tour of the States, having spent twenty weeks in Canada, where the show has made a reputation that is second to none. To all we extend a Happy New Year. Greeting to The Age and best luck. M M SOUTHERN SMART SET'8 BIG XMAR Xmas day on the Southern Smart Set Company car was one hilarious, never to the forgotten episode of merriest.

The season of 1910 found the colored colleges of the country playing a hard, clean and scientific game. The coaching and medical supervision of these colleges through the season in good condition, bringing beyond all doubt that the Negro teams have perfected their style of play to a point where they would become worthy opponents of any of the first class white college teams in the country. This season's championship went to Howard University, last season's champions. Howard's schedule showed a strong team, which played a fast, hard and consistent game. The eleven contests with Lincoln, Hampton and Shaw demonstrate her right to the team. The team was a remarkable one, having been selected by years of experience, which proved of great value to Coach Marshall. Lincoln University's record was almost as meritorious. Although the team suffered the loss of Capt. Ellis, the veteran tackle, at the beginning of the season, the coach was able to develop a powerful aggregation. The games with Hampton brand her as an opponent full of buildup tenacity, play with a remarkable knowledge of modern football. The teams at Hampton and Shaw were, I believe, not quite up to their usual standard. New Rules Made Game Fast. The new rules brought forth a greater variety of formations, making the game fast and open. Wing shifts, line shifts, double and triple passes were so numerous that the defence was with great care, oftimes resulting in shifts the line and secondary defence to meet these attacks. The forward pass was highly perfected by Lincoln, and she proved in her most important contest superior to her opponent in open plays. The old style of play. Howard because of his powerful line and fast heavy backs was effective at the old game. The art of kicking was so advanced that many of the backs could kick spiral and field kickes so effectively. Field kickes resulted in back field kickes was far from agreeable. Drop kickers and place kickers were not up to the standard and lost many opportunities to score. field goals. Tackling an dblocking by backs and this had not been better, and this department of the game advanced several glaciers. Star Players of the Season. Terrys and grims of Howard and Bullock of Lincoln, are rare of wonderful physique, speed and power and dodging abilities Gray and bullock being remarkable defensive players At quarterback, Bird of Lincoln, stands head and shoulders above the other quarterbacks of the season His speed, dodging and kicking and catching of punts has been unequalled for years. He is a master catcher and makes a quartet uninvisible defence and powerful in offence. The same can be said of the ends though Tyson stood out on the defence, while Morris and Shaughter pressed him hard Morris, though light is the end for second place, among colored colleges, first place going to Tyson Shaughter and second place the same class, but Morris out-generated Shaughter in Thumbarlying Day. Tyron and Shaughness of Howard are two fast casts, while Morris and Jacobs of Lincoln are considered by some as the superiors. The tackles on the past are the most important part of the team, but of Howard and Branch of Lincoln being the only men who played consistent ball throughout the season. The guards were of high standard. In toward, above the average guard such an extent, that for years, their capitals will be hard to find. The same is hardly true in the matter of centers, although Tompkins of Lincoln brought up the standard, he is deprived of first place because of his disqualification during the Howard-Lincoln game. Maxwell Howard though not at his best during the past season, is my choice. The following are players worthy of honorable mention. Half-backs -Howard, Hunt and Nixon of Howard; Wolfe of Hampton, Collins, Norris and Dunn of Lincoln. Ends -Stratton of Howard, Juice and Midgitt of Lincoln. Hounds -Hawes of Lincoln and Carter of Howard Centers -Warner of Hampton. The colored colleges are advancing in athletics along every line. Their conching staff and medical supervision is of the best. Their officials are experienced and desire to keep the game clean and free from objectionable features. The time is near at hand when the colored official shall be in great demand moment the college colleges and schools. Among the most prominent officials of the day are F. H Henderson, W. H Wilkerson, G. H Robinson and W. H Beckett. CHAS E. ROBERTS Head Coach, Lincoln University Washington Defeats Alphas Before a large and fashionable audience last Monday evening, the Alpha Physical Culture Club, and the Y M C A team of Washington, D.C. met in a basketball match at Marathon Casino which was won by the visitors by the score of 25 to 18. The Washington players lived up to their reputation of being strong from the second half and making five basket-scoring winning the game. It was the last contest in which the Washington team will be known as the Y M C A team from now on playing under the name of Howard University. In the first half the Alpha team impressed the visitors by excelling in passing the of the first half the score stood at 10 to 8 in favor of the home point. In the latter part of the second half, however, the Y. M C A team played a fast and snappy game, while the Alphas seemed to have overplayed themselves during the early part of the match.

"Those who yet remain are reminded by increasing infirmities, and the immutable ravages of time that they, too, must soon enter upon that bourne from which some ever return. As they enter the shadows of the mystic beyond, may there shade with them this consoling reflection: That few men have ever been charged with greater responsibilities, and still fewer ever succeeded in discharging such weighty obligations with greater credit to themselves, and capable of conferring more abundant blessing upon generations to follow." SCHOOL FOR SERVANTS Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Atlanta, Ga., December 27 — The labor exchange recently opened at Bethel Church, corner Auburn avenue and Butler street, to secure a better grade of servants for those who employ colored help in their homes or places of business and to assist those who work at home to dispose of their goods, has already succeeded in placing a number of applicants. But the greatest difficulty so far experienced is to secure competent, reliable men and women to take the places. To meet this difficulty the first classes in instruction are to be opened during the first of the coming year Classes for instruction in cooking and general housekeeping will be started at the church on Tuesday and Thursday, January 3 and 5, from 3 to 4 p.m. The services of a competent instructor have been secured and all those who desire to avail themselves of the opportunities offered should register at the earliest opportunity. Instruction is given to both those who are at work and those who are seeking employment The manager of the exchange is at the church daily from 8:30 a.m to 6 p.m. Those who have servants in their homes, who attend these classes, will be compensated for the time lost from work by the improved service they will receive when their servants are better trained: If the days set for the classes do not suit a majority of those desiring to attend, all necessary changes will be made. As there is a heavy expense incurred in carrying forward this work, the pastor of the church, C M Tanner, is soliciting aid to make this move to better conditions an assured success. Should be found it is the intention of the promoters of the labor exchange to convert the old church building, which adjoins the present structure into an industrial annex. Here a day nursery and classes in domestic science and nursing would be conducted. Any contribution to the present work can be sent either to the pastor of the church or to the Atlanta State Savings Bank, Auburn avenue and Butler street. A. C. M. E. CHURCH. Bishop Phillips Hopes to Have One in New York—Favors Organic Union Between His Church and M. E. Church. Bishop Charles H. Phillips of Nashville, Tenn., one of the bishops of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, was a visitor in New York last week, and paid The Age office a visit. The bishop came east to attend the Program Committee of the Methodist Ecumenical Conference as a representative in the church. Bishop Phillips for a number of years was editor of the Christian Index, the official organ of the C. M. E. Church. He has devoted a great deal of his time in planning the extension of his church and "within a few years," said Bishop Phillips. The New York City church accommodates the many of our members who come up from the South, and get away from us because we have no home for them. The Bishop is inclined to look with favor upon the proposition to perfect an organization between the C. M. E. church and the colored Methodist Episcopal Church. Such a union would make a powerful Christian society. XMA8 EXERCI8E8 AT UTICA. Appropriate Services Held at Hope Chapel Union Congregational Church Regular Correspondence of the TEN AU. Utica, N. Y.

Schoola Close for the Holidays—Paster Returns for Another Year. Regular Correspondence of The Acm. Key West, Fla., Dec. 26—The public school teachers met at the Odd Fellows Hall a few days ago to make preparations for the enchantment celebration. It was to be held at the Hippodrome on January 1, but owing to the protest from the preachers it was postponed until January 2.

Special to The New York App. St. Louis, Mo, Dec 27 - Constable Charles Turpin, the only Negro elected to office in St. Louis, walked into the saloon of Michael Olston, $05 O'Fallon street, a few days ago, stepped behind the bar, read to the proprietor an order of judgment for $79.70 and attached everything in the place. Olston excitedly protested. He telephoned to the police and told them that a holdup was in progress. The police rushed Patrolman Cordes to the saloon. When Cordes arrived he found everything quiet.
