Leading Negro Newspaper VOL. XXIV. No. 20. STATEMENT BY JOHN H. ATKINS Defends Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company CRITICISES DIRECTORS Says Several Of Them Said Unseemly Things About Concern to Escape Public Opinion RECEIPTS—DISBURSEMENTS President Atkins Says He is Working to Put Company on its feet Asks Stockholders to Co operate. John H Atkins, president of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, in a general statement giving the receipts and disbursements of the concern, charges that some of the directors have been saying unseemly things about the company and its officers in their endeavor to put the blame of the companies failure on others and thus escape the lash of public opinion. Mr Atkins also holds that the stockholders owe the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company $202,489, and contends that all delinquent stockholders can be asked if the officers of the company were disposed to institute legal proceedings. Mr Atkins's statement. Because I could not speak with definite assurance to the future of the Metropolitan Metropolitan and Realty Company I have continued sin but, nevertheless as I was going to bring about a condition in which I could assure our staffers and the investing public of the Metropolitan Metropolitan Company was a success, because of the fact that its membership consisted of colored people I have honored for the day and strove to bring it to pass, when it would be established that the Negro, in times of great trials and troubles, could be relied upon like all other people to work, and if need be, to fight for them. I have always believed that my efforts in this direction, as in many others where my own people have been concerned, have been in vain. Claims Many False Rumors Have Been Circulated. Since the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company sustained the unfortunate, and almost impurpable injury in the loss of its home office at 51st street and 8th avenue all kinds of false and malicious charges have been filed against our directors in general. And, guided by these charges some of the directors have done and said all kind of unseemly things in their endeavor to put the blame on someone else, and thus escape the lash of public opinion. But as long as these directors could come up each month and get the company back agreed to pay them for the damages they were paid to reorder the Metropolitan was the greatest thing on earth among Negroes. And the same thing is true about the general body of stockholders, as long as the dividends were paid to them annually the company, in their estimation, was the greatest thing in world. And a notteable fact is that the most out of the Company, in the one who is crying loudest at present against it. An example of this kind will be found in one J C Love, who claims to be one of God's ministers, and therefore stands for truth, honesty and righteousness. He will be his endeavor to deceive the stockholders, he made a villainous speech wherein he tried to make the stockholders believe that he, Love, was working for interests and his elquent and devilish intentions throughout with these significant words "Where has the stockholders' money gone?" No man knows better than where $1250 of the stockholders' went, for Love, at an opportune moment, shed out this itching palm and put this slick little sum into his pocket Says Rev J C. Love Made Villainous Speech The facts are these. This man Love came to the company with a set of plans, and requested it to build him a house in accordance with the company placed in the planes in the hands of it lie and asked him to inform it what such a house would be. The price given was $2250, and a contract was made with the Rev Mr Love to build a house for that price, but early after it work began the builder had not made the house could not be built for $1,000. The Rev Mr Love was informed of the contract and asked to agree to put at least the architect on his house to which this honest and upright gentleman replied. I don't know what the company houses on the contract, but I try to hold it to the contract, and the company does not build my house for that price. I am going into every chit chit of New Jersey and I am taking it as a fake. that is to pay when Love was wringly putting the stockholder's money into his own pocket the company, in his honest mind, it was a fake account tried to present it. The actual account of love a house was $3,650, yet the property had come to rob the stockholder and come to rob the stockholder of $1,750 and he did not heed to take advantage of it. Thus he hiked up on stake on the part of the company's stockholder in the book out of these same stockholders whom he pretends to love so affectionately at the present time, $1,250. It is as no wonder that he thinks every other The New York Age man, who got the chance, has done the same thing. Let us ask Mr. Love to return the $1,350 he has of the stockholders' money. Why H. H. Dennis Has "Axe to Grind." Another example of this kind is one H. H. Dennis, who, on the same occasion that the man Love made his villainous attack on the company, claimed that he held in his hand a statement made by the writer to the effect that the company has received the stockholders, when the present treasurer of the company claimed that the company has received a little over $400,000. When the statement was produced, it showed that the stockholders still owed $157,489 and some odd cents on their stock, but this man Dennis had an axe to grind. On one occasion he was engaged in a fight with the stockholders, but owing to the large sum he charged, some interested stockholders asked him to reduce his bill to the extent of $660. After much opposition to said request, he finally agreed to do so, but from that time on, he has made it his special business to malign the company in his own interest. In other examples of this kind might be given but the lack of space forplids. The New York Age, in its issue of February 2, 1911, said that it could not see how the company could fall, if the stockholders owed the company $157,489. As a matter of fact, the company added the amount just named, $46,000 on lots, making $202,489. Of late a large number of persons, among which were some of our directors who claim to be versed in corporate law, have been very busy in instructing the stockholders on the rights, but I have not heard of a case where these teachers have informed the stockholders of the following facts. First—That the company has a cause of action against each stockholder who fails to pay his subscription for stock. Second—That creditors can sue stockholders for the difference between the par value of their stock and what they actually paid for it. Third—That employees to whom salary is due, can sue stockholders for the difference between the par value of their stock and what they actually paid for it. Third—That employees to whom salary is due, can sue stockholders for the difference between the par value of their stock and what they actually paid for it. Submits Figures Again, the directors have been charged with using the stockholders' money for their personal use, by paying themselves large salaries, therefore I submit the following table of the companies for a period of six years, beginning January 1, 1911, with the exception of the discount and cumulative table, which runs from the beginning of the company directors received on an average, during that time, $627 a month. Discounts allowed stockholders and commissions paid to agents, $80,000, discounts and commissions on lots and bonds, $7,500 dividends to stockholder, $7,500 dividends to retail store, $2,000 amounts paid by stockholders to agents, but not turned over to the treasurer by them between 1906 and 1909, $3,695.48 prior to 1906, $300, revenue stamps at rate of 2 cents on the $100, $14,000 treatment of depositors in Savannah Bank, $18,000; salariers from January 1, 1905, to January 1, 1911, a period of six years, $56,104.67; salariers paid to nine directors from January 1, 1905, to January 1, 1911 a period of six years, $34,199.34 or an average of $27.87 per month loans paid during the same time, ending July 1, 1957, paid during the same time, $9,190.37 expenses of branch offices, including rents, etc. year ending July 31, 1910, $7,593.39 Large Real Estate Investments — Expended on Rahway property, including commissions and discounts, about $29,000; other property in orange, $8,100, property in Brooklyn, $9,300, property in Plainfield, N J $2,1600 small investments on various properties, $26,100; total, $408,119.36 Expended on 46th Street Property — Expended on parent property, about $26,600; $14,500 account of modeling building, $65,089; paid on account of ground rent for leasehold, $15,400 paid on account of taxes, $7,900 paid in per cent for procuring loans, $6,000 engineer and janitor service $1,400, light and power, $2,400; total, $6,000 extra work on malls, $1,000; immergent work on malls, $134,988; grand total, $410,386 Amounts received on stock, $449,108- 78, on bonds, $41,368, on loans to stockholders, $30,50249 on lots, $20,0- 000 total, $640,9729 on amounts due bonds, $157,489,99 on amounts due on lots, $45,000 total, $202,495.9 Other Expenditures The foregoing table of receipts and disbursements is intended to give the reader a general idea as to the money received by the company, and the disposition of the same.

These items I have been forced to confine myself to the larger expenditures in order to give the public an approximate idea of the operations of the company which it seems no destruc of obtaining at the present time Directors Have Not Used Money for the company's money for their own use, the truth of the matter is just the reverse, as the policy of the company has been to pay everybody else to the exclusion (Costighed on Fire!) NEW YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1911. JERSEY STOCKHOLDERS GET RECEIVER APPOINTED More Trouble for Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company LOCAL STOCKHOLDERS MEET To Have Subsidiary Receiver Named—Former Secretary Jones Tells of His Connections With Company. Upon the application of Rev. J. C. Love of Montclair, N. J., and the other stockholders of New Jersey, made in the United States District Court at Newark, a receiver was appointed last Friday to take charge of the affairs of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company. On the same day a large meeting of the New York stockholders was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, at which a resolution was passed urging all holders of the company's stocks, bank stock, bonds, and loans of all kinds to be careful and not give up receipts of stock certificates, bonds, etc., to any one but the committee named to keep the stockholders informed on all matters relating to the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company. The committee is composed of H. H Dennis, 5 West Sixty-sixth street; John S. Brown, Jr., 47 West Sixty-sixth street; Charles E. Scott, 34 Pine street; Rosa E. Harper, 153 West Fifty-three street, and Elizabeth Roberts, 72 West 134th street. This week Jones and Gleason of Newark, the legal advisers of the New Jersey stockholders, had a conference with Counselor John J. Kirby, representing the New York stockholders, and an arrangement was entered into whereby suit will be brought in the United States Court; in New York for the appointment of a subsidiary receiver. Resignation of Secretary Jones. P. E. Jones, who has resigned as secretary of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, makes the following statement for publication in THE AGE: "In the issue of THE AGE of February 2 the following statement was made: 'An official statement made by the officers of the company as late as July, 1910, admitted collections of more than 60,000 and claimed resources of an equal amount', etc., and concluded the editorial with the following sentences. 'Explain, gentlemen, explain! This we personally urged some time ago.' "In compliance with this request, I beg permission to make the following statement through the columns of your great journal. "1 The officers of the company collectively did not make the financial statement accredited to them, 2 the Board of Directors neither made nor authorized the above financial statement to be made. 3 I, as the secretary of the company, have made such financial statement as is unsolelessly and ungratefully attributed to me in your journal, nor have I authorized any one to connect me in any manner whatsoever with the financial statement accredited to the officers of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company." "In view of the above facts I am unable to comply with your request or answer your interrogations. 'Where are these assets?' 'Where is the real estate included in the assets?' 'What became of the $500,000 collected?' "I was elected a director of the above company August 28, 1909, an officer August 12, 1910, and entered upon the duties of secretary of the company September 10, 1910. According to the statutes of New Jersey, under whose laws the company was incorporated, the duties of the secretary of a corporation such as the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company are enumerated as follows: "The secretary shall be sworn to the faithful discharge of his duty, and shall record all the votes of the corporation and directors in a book to be kept for that purpose, and perform such other duties as shall be assigned to him." The general corporation act of New Jersey, section 13. It is evident from the above enumeration of powers and duties that it is no part of the statutory or inherent powers of the secretary of a company such as curs was to make financial reports. If had no inherent power to make financial reports it is certainly manifest that I had no special powers to do so, since the board of directors of the company never invested me with such powers, nor conferred such special privileges upon me. "If the above be true, then it logically follows that no financial or other report made by any other officer of the company can bind the secretary, that is, put him under obligation to explain the same, unless he personally certified by his signature the correctness of the same. "In Harris Congress Hall Hotel Company, 70 Atlantic Reporter 330, the Court held "The law does not ordinarily imply in the secretary of a business corporation the power ex officio to bind the company by his act. He may, of course, have larger powers by special appointment from the directors, and evidence of such powers may be found in the circumstances of the particular case." In other words, before an act of the secretary of a corporation can bind the company it must be shown that the secretary had the special appointment from the board of directors to do the special act in question. If the secretary's acts cannot bind the company, how does it appear that an act of another officer can bind the secretary? "I think and hope the explanation given above is sufficient not only to show my connection officially with the company, but also to extricate my good name from the asperSION which the inferences the statements in your journal admit of cast upon it." GIVEN OVATION IN AUSISTA Leading Citizens of Both Roses, Flock to Hear Booker T. Washington at Walker Baptist Institute Referred to as "Greatest Living Negro" Special to The New York Asn. Augusta, Ga., Feb. 11.—Dr. Booker T. Washington spoke to several, hundred people at Walker Baptist College, this city, February 6, and was honored in many ways by the white and colored citizens during his short stay there. The Augusta Chronicle reports his address as follows: "Booker T. Washington came to Augusta yesterday, and carried all before him. He is unquestionably the greatest living Negro, and one of the world's forceful and sensible speakers. Hundreds and hundreds of people, both white and colored, flocked to hear him. Included in this number were some of Augusta's leading white ladies for whom special provision was made. Among the nature of the event, as mentioned the following. Dr. M. Ashy Jones, Rev. Joseph R. Sevier, Dr. H. M. DuBose, Rev. B. F. Freier, Rev Howard T. Cree, Judge Henry C. Hammond, Mr. Lawton B. Evans, Major Harry Hammond, of Beach Island, S. C., Major J. C. C. Black, Hon. A. L. Franklin, Mr David Slusky, Mr Moses Slusky, and thirty or forty other distinguished white citizens. "Several people could not gain access to the building, and remained patiently on, the outside for nearly two hours just to get a glimpse of the famous Negro. Dr. C. T. Walker presided, and made a timely and appropriate address. Every mention of Dr. Washington's name by Dr. Walker was received with round after round of applause. He called Washington the "Motes of the Negro race," he said he was the greatest Negro in the world, living or dead, and expressed the gratitude that everybody felt in having him turnjaside from his busy and active life to come help a struggling school. After having kept the people roaring with laughter and cheering for ten or fifteen minutes, and when everybody was feeling good, Dr. Walker presented President John Hope, of the Atlanta Baptist College, who introduced Dr. Washington in a few words. Dr. Washington was it his best. He has spoken in Augusta three or four times in herbert terrace, in better terms than yesterday. It abounded in wit and humor, and was not a bit tiresome. All Washington's addresses are characterized by common sense and with a great degree of what I might call human nature. They get right next to a man and make a fellow feel what the speaker is saying. Among other things, Dr. Washington said on yesterday the following: Booker T.'s Advice. I am glad to be in the city of Augusta again. It is always refreshing to get into a typical conservative but cultured and intelligent Southern community. In such a community the very realist is aistist, a black man and white man, and in Augusta this relationship is exemplified in a rare degree. "I come here at the special invitation of Dr C T Walker, a man whom I honor and respect, a man who is known and respected throughout the United States, a man whom President Taft often speaks of in the highest terms of commendation, and I am glad to know and hear that Dr Walker has the respect and confidence of his neighbors of both races in this city. I am glad to come here to speak a word in behalf of the institution of which he is the head, and to commend the sensible work which he has done and is doing Dr. Walker. Bishop Williams, Dr Williams and men of their type not only represent the possibilities of our race, but they are people who represent our race in conservative and sensible directions and assist in maintaining friendly relations between black many and white man. No one need ever be afraid that men of the character of Dr Walker will say, or do a fool thing. A company will, within a few months after slavery, produce such men as these is a country and is a community that we should be proud of." "We of both races in the South have suffered much by reason of the fact that the worst that occurs in the South is spread speedily in all parts of the world, while the best things which are constantly occurring in each community are seldom known outside of that community." "Here in the South my race has an opportunity that it does not have in an equal degree in any other part of the world. It has been my privilege to travel in nearly every portion of America, and I have inspected the condition of the working class of people in the old countries of Europe, but nowhere have I found conditions more hopeful and encouraging for a working class of people that I find for my race right here in the heart of the South. "I want to urge every colored man to get to the point where he will settle down and become a definite, a permanent and useful part of some community. A shiftless, roving, unemployed Negro is of no value to himself, and is a disgrace to our race. "In the matter of labor our race has an advantage in the South which I sometimes fear it does not rightly apreciate. In the old countries of Europe and in many of the large cities of the North people for a large part of the year are without work. they walk the streets day by day, seeking employment and cannot find it. In our case, no Ne- HEBREWS LISTEN TO ADDRESS ON LINCOLN Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom Talks Before Free Synagogue, Carnegie Hall TELLS OF NEGRO'S PROGRESS Audience is Given Statistics as to How Far the Negro Has Justified His Right to Freedom in America. Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, delivered an interesting address on "Abraham Lincoln" Sunday morning before the Free Synagogue, Carnegie Hall. He was hened to by a large congregation, composed of prominent Hebrews of New York City. During his talk, Rev. Ransom told of the great progress made by the American Negro since emancipation. He said in part. "The true measure of a man's greatness is the carrying power of his influence. Some men achieve fame, many men are worthy of note, but only a few are worthy to be classed as truly great. A great man requires the background of a few centuries to disclose in clear outline the true measure of his vast proportions. The figures of Abraham and Moses loom large across the distance of more than thirty centuries while Mohammed and Buddha, Plato and Shakespeare, Napoleon and Washington, do not grow less conspicuous by the lapse of time. "We are yet too near to Abraham Lincoln to take a true measure of his greatness. We do not stay at the back of a mount when we wish to take an altitude. It is only from a distance that we can take in its lotty elevation and behold it hitting its snow-capped head in triumph above the clouds. "Abraham Lincoln sprang from the common people. It is from this class the common people—that the most uncommon men have always spring. But without controversy some of the les sons taught by his life are Self reliance, perseverance, uprightness, unselfishness, patience, patriotism and courage. It took courage of the highest order for Lincoln to promulgate his proclamation of emancipation. He was best by divided councils and conflicting opinions everywhere but when the hour came; he rose to the height of this epoch making event. The Negroes of this hemisphere entered the domain of freedom by different gates. The blacks of Hayti and Santo Domingo won their freedom by the edge of the sword under the matches of leadership, as Jessica L. Overture Those of the British West Indies were freed by an act of Parliament under the leadership of Clarkson and William Wilberforce, but the Negroes of the United States were freed by an act of Almighty God, with Abraham Lincoln as the instrument of his will. Giant Strides Made by the Negro Giant Strides Made by the Negro "How far the Negro has justified his right to freedom and American citizenship is best told by statistics which mark his giant strides of progress for the last forty years. Drug stores, 250, physicians and surgeons, 3,000, lawyers, 2,100, banks controlled and conducted, 47, groceries, 2,050, merchants, 3,000, undertakers, 1,050, number of farms owned, 250,000, insurance companies, life and fire, 25, teachers in public schools and colleges, 24,000. In 1909 they owned nearly 500,000 homes, and among these about 250,000 farms, or more than one-fifth of those they cultivate, with 15,000,000 acres of farmland, worth about $200,000,000. A owners and renters of farms they control 40,000,000 acres, worth over $500,000,000, with a gross income of $250,000,000. Negroes to-day conduct every one-seventh farm in the land and raise every sixteenth dollar's worth of crops. They have accumulated at least $600,000,000 worth of property in a half century, starting with nothing. "There are two hundred private schools and colleges managed and almost entirely supported by Negroes, and other public and private schools have received in forty years $45,000,000 on Negro money in taxes and donations "Five millions a year are raised by Negro secret and beneficial societies which hold at least $5,000,000 in real estate. Negroes support wholly or in part over sixty old folks' homes and orphanages, thirty hospitals and five hundred cemeteryes. Their organized commercial life is extending rapidly, and includes all branches of the small retail businesses. "We have met to-day not to glorify Abraham Lincoln, but to strengthen and inspire the springs of patriotism by resolving to devote ourselves to preserving the issues which flow out from the position he took in preserving this nation as a house not divided against it self America Is No Place for An Aristocracy. "Our American democracy was founded to stand as a barrier against the assaults of blood. There is no place here for an aristocracy based on the descendants of the Puritans, the early Dutch settlers, the Daughters of the American Revolution or the F. V. The child of the Irishman, German, Italian or the Russian immigrant, or the descendant of the African slave, if born or naturalized in the United States, is of as good and royal birth as any one of these. "There is no place here for an oligarchy of wealth with special privilege or with immunity from punishment because they would be above the law. To prevent corruption of the legislatures and the control of courts by the power of gold, democracy must ever be vigilant. "There is no place here for the bigotry of religious creed, Catholic, Protestant and Jew must be equally free to serve and be honored by the state. Any attitude or influence which would seek to prevent a man from occupying any appetitive or elective office because of religious belief is against the spirit of our free institutions. This opposition account of race or color is against the spirit, the principles and the ideals upon which this nation was founded. There must be for all the same educational advantages; the same equality before the law; the same enjoyment of public conveyances, public conveniences and public amusements "The Negro and the Jew have each been the victims of persecution for ages, on account of race prejudice. The Jew lived in bondage on the banks of the Nile, in the days of the glory of the Pharaohs. The daughters of Jerusalem felt the bitterness of slavery until they hung their harps upon the willows and wept by the rivers of Babylon. The Jew has mingled his blood with the darker races of mankind since the days of Moses and Solomon. The African has been his neighbor for forty centuries. Since the Negro was Jew, what is to suffer on account of race prejudice, they should be the first to unite and take the leadership of humanity in working to establish the brotherhood of man. If the pioneers of this movement are not found in America, and if the Jew and the Negro can not produce them, there is no hope that for generations the strife between different branches of the human race will be ended. Japan Has Already Crossed Color Line "Woe to Europe! Woe to America! If Japan, China, India and Africa come to the rivalry of nations with the lateness of race or color prejudice in their hearts, Japan has already crossed the color line. China is as sure India is becoming restless, and that mighty black giant, Africa, though not fully awake, is beginning to rub the sleep orages from his eyes. Let America beware how she treats the blacks at home and her brown men in the Philippines. Let England beware how she deals with Egypt and the people of India. "America is our land of promise, our inheritance. Let us not look to Palestine, but make the United States our Holy Land. That land is holiest where man is most free, where liberty and justice rule and where prosperity follows in not despair of peace. Holy City is not despair of peace. Mecca or Rome. It is ours to make New York, Chicago Atlanta and New Orleans the city of God wherein dwelling righteousness. We do not want Jerusalem to come down to us from above. But we must put our cities and our nation up to the high level of justice and civic virtue which will meet the approval of God in heaven." "This is the mission of our country to give every man an opportunity to make the most of himself, and to withhold the paths of men with unhindered access, giving to society the highest and best contribution of which he is capable." LNEGRO DEFEATS MEASURE Representative Edward Green Makes Fight on Bill Introduced in Illinois Legislature for Election of Senators by Direct Vote. Special to THE NEW YORK ADR. Springfield, Ill., Feb. 14—Representative Edward Green, the only Negro in the Illinois Assembly, has held up a joint resolution asking the Illinois delegation in Congress to support the resolution calling for a constitutional amendment to provide for the election of senators by direct vote of the people. Representative Green told the Judiciary Committee that if Congress adopted the resolution now pending the effect will be practically to disfranchise the Negro in every State in which there is a "grand father" clause in the constitution. The resolution went through the State Senate without a dissenting vote, but when it was sent over to the House Green moved it be committed to the Judiciary Committee and there he made a fight which held it up for a week at least, and probably for good. Representative Green is one of the leading citizens of Chicago, and is a member of the Frogs, one of the prominent colored clubs of the country, located in New York City INVESTIGATING MYSTERIOUS DEATH Rev William F. C. Gumbs pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Middletown N.Y. has appealed to the English consul, located in New York City, to investigate the mysterious death of his brother, Montreal P. C. Gumbs, a native of the British West Indies, who died suddenly at Quarantine last November. The Mr Rev Gumbs states that his brother attended college in Paris, France, for a year and a half and came to America last November on the French steamer Venezuela. He had quite a sum of money with him and several trunks containing wearing apparel. Although papers and letters of identification were found in the clothes of the deceased the Rev Mr Gumbs says that no effort was made to locate his relatives. All attempts to ascertain the whereabouts of the dead man's effects have been unavailing. Has Largest Circulation PRICE 51CENTS NO SEGREGATION FOR KANSAS CITY Measure Defeated Last Week in Lower House of Council Only One Democrat Voted With Republicans to Uphold Recommendations of Committee Defeat of Unjust Measure in Kansas City Follows Throwing Out of Court of Baltimore Ordinance. Special to The New York Agn. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 14.—In the lower house of the council last week the proposed measure advocating the segregation of the whites and blacks in Kansas City was defeated. The ordinance, which had been introduced by Alderman C. J. Gilman, was returned to the lower house by the Public Improvement Committee with the recommendation that it not pass. After considerable argument relative to the validity of the measure, the position of the committee was sustained by a strict party vote, Alderman Thomas L. Pendergast, being the only Democrat to vote with the Republicans. In guaging his views on the measure Frank N. Cleeton, chairman of the Public Improvement Committee, said. The committee gave three public hearings on the ordinance and for safe say saying that every person, black or white, who appeared before us was inspired by some selfish or personal interest. We were given no good reasons why it should be passed. If a wrong has been done anyone it has made must apologize. I some unscrupulous real estate dealer who very personally an exclusive white district to a Negro. Personally I am opposed to segregating a race of people and further oppressing them. I am not inviting a Negro to come and live next door to me, but I am not willing to do so. I am coming. If he does come and I don't like it I will sell out and move away. Effect of Defeat of Baltimore Ordinance. The throwing out of court of the Baltimore segregation ordinance several days ago is said to have caused the supporters of the measure no small amount of anxiety, and after the vote had been taken several attributed the defeat of the Kansas City measure to the action of the court in declaring the Baltimore ordinance to be invalid. Aldermen C. S. Bramblee and A. I. Beach, members of the Public Improvement Committee, said the ordinance was a move in the right direction, but gave as reasons for reporting unfavorably that the ordinance was a copy of one recently passed in Baltimore which, within the last week, had been declared unconstitutional. They said they did not feel like recommending an ordinance which would prove invalid. "Under the police powers and laws of this state," said C J Gilman, father of the ordinance, "that ordinance can be enforced if passed I took legal counsel on it before introducing it and what it made in faulty there may not affect it. When he comes to Kansas City and invests his all in a little home he is not in a position to sell out and move when a Negro buys and moves in next door to him. That act will depreciate his property and he has a right to be protected. I am not trying to segregate the Negro man." In reply, Alderman Cleeton claimed that Negroes could club together and buy the majority of property in most any fashionable district and nothing on earth could stop them from occupying it under the wording of the Gilman ordinance. Alderman Miles F. Bulger said his vote for the ordinance would be his first against a committee report. He said he had a personal reason, a Negro once having moved into a house next to that occupied by the alderman's mother. The case still is in litigation, he said. While supporting Alderman Gilman, Mr. Bulger accused the former of "grandstanding, playing politics and to the gallery," and said he had been "resoluting for the last three years and never made good in a single instance." ROYALTY SENDS PHOTOGRAPHS. Special to The New York Age. Tuskegee, Ala, Feb 12—Last week Booker T. Washington received from King Frederick and Queen Louise of Denmark their autograph photographs in acknowledgment of his work "Up From Slavery," which they have had the pleasure of reading recently. It will be recalled that Dr Washington was the guest of King Frederick and Queen Louise at dinner at September while in Denmark. For the latest Theatrical news read. The New York Age. Timothy Baptist Church. We had a very good day all of Sunday. The pastor, Dr. Newkirk, preached at 11 a. m. with the same untiring vigor, subject, "Omnislence." The Sunday School was also well attended. The Rev Thomas was the catechiser of the lesson. The Rev. L. V. Olivet engaged the young people in his remarks. The evening service was very good. Union Baptist Church We had with us last week in the closing of our revival Rev James Harris, who spoke for us each evening during the week, and at 11 a.m in our Lord's Day service. We wish to say to all who will engage our brother that they will find in him a good sound preacher. At 2 p. m. our Sunday School held a brief session under Superintendent W H Johnson. Owing to the fact that baptising had been arranged, at this hour the seating capacity of our church had been overtaxed. After our pastor spoke on the glory of the church, we and our members were immensely pleased. After a brief testimonial meeting in the evening the hand of fellowship was extended to 54 new members. Out of the 155 backdressers and converts together, we have been able to give the hand of fellowship to 95 Communion served to a large gathering of communicants.

St. Mark's Church Roy Dr. Brooks preached at the m. subject "The Life and Character of Elijah. Good man are not always the wisest man and the best man is a good man but not a very wise man. His life was not entirely perfect but it pleased God to take him without doing. We had much hope in our own lives in studying the life of Elijah. The man of the priest for death because he was light is very unwise. Many of us sometimes disposed us out of the world, weight of our hands, not always men in prayers. I think pro can a hundred times. It is said of Mr. Sparks that the fact of making him a greater than himself. Lincoln was a giant in mind but unlike in his days. He included with a small number of himself self a very small individual. The world can treat his devilishive forces but must mind and win back to Jesus Christ. No such principles and examples are to throw his trust in the lost world. Him. The world can be right but we will not have let him.

Feb 13 - With sermons in practically all the Negro churches by visit prelates attending the federated Negro Ethiopia Council, the second triennial meeting of that body came to a close here last night. While organic union was not supposed to have been discussed at this meeting, no speaker addressed the big issues during the four days session but that the dream of organic union between the African Methodist Episcopal, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion and the Colored Methodist Episcopal churches was dwelt As it was, several important steps that led toward ultimate union of these three great Christian organizations were taken. Provisions were made for a common hymnal and a common ritechism and committee composed of representatives of the three churches were appointed to draft the three scripture for use by the next meeting two years later. Another significant step in the appointment of an aristocratic committee composed of two bishops from each denomination the purpose of the bishops' participation was to the interested diocesan committee of setting all disputes that might arise between congregations and members of different denominations. Transfer of Ministers Voted On A proposal to take steps for the transfer of one donor to one recipient on one distribution to another is not a good idea of suggestions and more bests in saving one church for another was deflated although the resolution was so good that almost all of it discourages With the help of Bishop L J Applip praised a man who is and is important and characteristic add: Bishop M H Turner, of the A M H Bishop Aizard, Bishop M Zoon church, and Bishop H the church of the turned Mite added the church of the turned Mite.

Democrats Refused to Serve as Registration Officials in Maryland Town Because of Recent Ruling by Judge Morris. Special to The New York App Baltimore, Md. February 14—Not a single Democrat would serve as a registration official in Elliott City, a small town ten miles from here, when the polling place was open for the enrollment, and that not a man will be able to vote and that there will be no municipal election in the spring. The Democrats were evidently afraid of the two notable decisions of Judge Morris in the United States Circuit Court, by which the grandfather of the plaintiff law was declared void and the three registration officials who denied three colored men the right to register were multered for $250 damage. It was a case of "fold feet" on the part of the Elliott City patriots of Democratic persuasion for the seventy-third picket out to see if some Democrat would dare serve, thus giving them a chance to demand the right to vote.

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to THE NEW NEW AGR Publishing Company. IT IS HERE. SENATOR Following closely upon the presentation of the historic argument against direct election of Senators made by Henry Cabot Lodge came the legal review of the constitutional questions involved made in the Senate last Friday by Elihu Root, the Senator from New York, conceded by men of all parties to be not only the ablest lawyer holding membership in the Senate, but also one of the great lawyers not of his country only but of the world. With Choate and Foraker he may be named, and his learning and his achievements before the bar bear out the compliment. When Root had done it was Bacon of Georgia himself an intellectual light, who said. We have heard one of the greatest speeches ever made in this chamber." True The Georgia Senator may well have added that it was also the speech that killed off the reason of the raiders of the Constitution of the United States It is not our purpose here to attempt any comment upon the argument advanced with a mastery his own by the Senator from our State. We simply despatch him assurances of our highest esteem and our unbounded gratitude not only for the protection he has thrown around the Constitution, dear target of the sharpshooters of population but for the deliverance the business of Americans, nine-tenths of whom it is sought to enslave in a heartless and cursed political bondage worse than the human slavery from which it cost the precious life of Abraham Lincoln to redeem them. Those against whom Root now wars with reason's sword were those that were tearless when great Lincoln fell Senator Root warned the Democrats of the South whose powers come from an intolerant intolerance and whose political ascendance is written in disfranchisement. The Senator said. Then there are Constitutions with their grandfather clauses which were adopted to nullify the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The people of the United States are apparently willing to hold their hands off to give God speed to the Southern people so that they can work out their debate problems, but if the time comes for the protection of the blacks and the people of the nation are constrained that oppression is being visited on them, then the great reserve power of the national government will be reenergized and exercised in these cases to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. If the time comes! The time is here. Senator. It arrived some years ago. If ever a people needed protection, if ever a people deserved protection, that people are the col red men and women of the South, who are jim-crowed, disfranchised, and intimidated as it they were now breed them seeking to to down the foundation of the country. Jim crowed to make them suffer the pangs of degradation. Intimidated to make them fearful to move and talk like freemen. Disfranchised, not because they are unintelligent, but because they are publicans! If the "great reserve power of the national government is to be used to prevent oppression of the people, let the government unlose that power, for there is oppose everywhere Education wealth and patriotism of ford no relief but in a more frequent visitation of oppression in its cruelest form Senator, the time for protection is now Carter Harrison of Chang deed the son of his father, it doesn't die in the Mayoralty, it the quitting from city of West, it is not his fault. He in a himself a candidate for Mayor on a platform that embraces all things and includes nothing. And yet we imagine the colored men in Chicago will sup- port him to a man, for he is as square as freshly off borne brick on human rights. --- No particular commendation is due the Hon Edward Green of Chicago, the only colored member of the Illinois Legislature for killing off the resolution favoring the direct election of United States Senator. Mr. Green's argument was based solely upon the fear of the permanent disfranchisement of colored men in the South if such a thing as direct election of Senators should come about in the way its sponsors plan. No particular commendation is due Mr. Green, we say, for it was just like him to stand up for what he believes to be right, and to buckle on the armor when his people's rights and status are attacked or jeopardized. GRIEVOUSLY DI8APPOINTED. Not in anger, but in nervous disappointment do we reprint the following Associated Press dispatch, which appeared in the newspapers of the country a few days ago. Washington, Feb. 3 President Taft to-day sent to the Senate among others the following nominations: Louis T. Duganon, receiver of public money, New Orleans, John Franklin Nuttall, registrar of the land office, Baton Rouge, La. Behind this paragraph, as our New Orleans correspondent had occasion to state a few days ago, regarding another one, is the story of the passing of another Federal Negro office holder. Mr. Walter L. Cohen, Register of the Land Office at New Orleans hastened to assure us, as his letter in the last issue of the Age indicates, that he had President Taft's personal assurance that he was to be continued in the Federal service. The dispatch above quoted, however, carries the name of a man named Frank Nuttals, who has been selected as Register of the consolidated Land Office in Louisiana, to be located at Baton Rouge. Cohen has been a thorn in the side of Postmaster General Hitchcock and his "lily white" cohorts in Louisiana for a long time. President Tutt has pointedly explained that he had no sympathy with the "lily white" program and yet, under his administration, there remains now not one single Negro in Louisiana holding a Federal office. As a matter of fact, there now remain only two Negroes in all the South holding important Federal offices, one of these being Joseph Lee in Florida, and one other, whose name we forbear, for fear that the President may decide even to "lop off his head." President Taft need not be surprised at our statement, when we say that the Negroes of the United States, North and South, are not yet disposed to accept without complaint his disposition to establish the caste system in the matter of holding office. By his methods he has disappointed thoughtful Negroes everywhere, who see in his program of elimination full sympathy and compliance, not only with the "lily white" program of the Republican party, but as well the progress of elimination and repressive activity, which has been practiced by the democrats of the South for the past twenty or twenty-five years. THE AGE is for the President when the President is for the Negro, but we cannot complacently sit by and fail to call attention to what we consider griev- POWER OF THE BALLOT There are those who want that; go the ball in his hand that must not all of the way order with all of the way order in America would be ruled. We never been the only one, however that this was who's true. In Baltimore the last Mr. Hunt tried to the Negro has the ball in his hand. Newtanning this the Baltimore council passed a law recently called in to wrest the Negro from the white race that they so far have in Virginia in White County the Negro not yet large. The sought ordinance has been set by the city council to be up where the Negro has been in White where he has been. What is the exp. It is not what they want to keep our race. It looks as if the power of the ballot is like New York at it compels the city government to treat with decency or we ought to use the power of the ballot to punish the city government, but here again we are puzzled as to just what influence the ballot has in securing for us many of the rights that belong to us as a people. And yet, in an important sense, the nation cannot live unless all the privileges of the fran- chised are bestowed upon all classes and races alike In an otherwise faithful account of the Tuskegee Conference in the Southern Workman we find the following: W. W. Campbell president of the Macon County (Georgia) Bank, stn. etn. Since when. There is one but one Macon county; one W. W. Campbell and one Tuskegee. They are bunched. Each is 'tother, and one is all. FREDERICK DOUGLAS. When Americans of every race point to their great, and celebrate in speech and song the virtues and achievements that have moved the world, the Negro may offer without a blush his own unmatched product, Frederick Douglass. No praise can add to Douglass' fame, nor does boast increase his stature as a man. He was born a slave, and wore the tadge that stamps a man a son of struggle, yet he won a place high in the records of the great, and wrote his name first in the books of his race. How? By toil, faith, persistence, character, and by turning his disadvantages into opportunity Let us place in the hands of every Negro child two books, a life of Lincoln and a life of Douglass. Two slaves, but they broke their chains and served their fellowman. DR. McKIM'S BOOK. The Rev Dr Randolph H. McKim, rector of the Church of the Epiphany, in Washington, was a Confederate soldier. He has written a valuable book, called A Soldier's Recollections." Two points in this very interesting recital are at more than passing interest. In a comparison between the contributions of men by the University of Virginia to the Confederacy, and that of Harvard to the Union forces, Dr. McKim takes an evident delight in the figures. The tablets on Memorial Hall at Harvard bear the names of 118 alumni who perished on southern battlefields, whether at Shaklettsill there are 503 names of the alumni of the southern university that gave up their lives in the army of disunion. Altogether 938 Harvard men enlisted under the stars and stripes, while 2,500 men from the Virginia school marched under the stars and bars. Dr. McKim would prove that the young men of the University of Virginia were more loyal to their convictions than Harvard men were to theirs, but nothing of the kind can be established in the minds of thinking men. The fact is, all things considered Harvard men were truer to their colors than the Virginians, upon the records, were to their standard, for the Virginians were in the midst of the scene of the conflict, cannon booming to the right and left, their own Lee commander in chief, and their own Richmond the citadel of their hopes. On the other hand, Harvard men were far removed from the operations of the war, uninfluenced by local color, unbidden by any promise of triumph, save in the future of the union, and greatly relieved by the ready response of the men otherwise engaged. If Massachusetts, instead of Virginia, had been the center of the conflict, what ```markdown ``` 1913 We are making a great event For this reason we might begin to plan for life in Greater New York a great exhibit showing what the colored people in this city have achieved during the last 20 years in mechanics, domestic economy, business, school, church and professional life. Such an exhibit would draw the attention of the whole city and place us on a footing that would be of immeasurable benefit to us. It would surprise the white people as well as the colored people in this city if they could see to what an extent colored women are professional dressmakers, could see some of the fine samples of dresses which they are turning out every day. It would surprise our colored and white friends to see how many colored men are actually engaged in mechanical work, to what extent they have achieved success in the direction of skilled labor requiring a high degree of intelligence and skill. Let us begin to think it all over and then plan for it. Not the least result of such an exposition would be to bring all factions together and teach our people as well as other races that the colored men can lay aside personal and factional differences and stand as one in the interests of a great common cause. Let the local business league get busy. THE GUM-CHEWERS Who invented chewing-gum? What is the name of that immortal ancient, and pray, where was his abode? What fancy held him slave as he thought upon the sublimity and sweet aspect of the human cud? Did one of the cattle on a thousand hills, as she pressed her jaws against a rolling tongue and bit the sweet morsel of a cow's cherished viand, suggest to him the utter woe of the human family without relief so easy and yet so long postponed? Or did the sons of Noah, watching the cattle chew with complacency as the threatening waters of the flood rose higher, seek kindred peace by gentle emulation? Howbeit, there is a word. Colored people and Jews have completely stolen the art of chewing from all other sons and daughters of men. They chew with a constancy matched only by the beauteous working of the left jaw, aided, abetted, and easily relieved by the right. They chew morning, noon and night, waxing eloquent with tongue, teeth and chin as evening comes on. In cars they chew, and no Sunday dress is complete without a stick of gum. "Amen," cried one worshipper in a church, in response to the telling tervency of the preacher's exhortation. Hol on, sad her companion, "lem me move dis gun, an' I'm wid yer." Well-timed steps by chewing is the latest joy of the street, and the animation of private converse is excited by a cute rolling of the jaw. The highbrows bay five sticks at one purchase, while the plebans shoot the slot at one cent a go. Let us go to the balls. Two stepping beauties and waltzing dreamy eyers, dressed like fairies favored of the gods, move about to music-strains and the measured jaw-jerk of seasoned and artful chewers! The gentlemen courteously respond by chewing with one stroke to every two for the lady. It is a sight worth not only of an artist, but also of the poet. Next to the rabbit there is no other subject as interesting as the gum-cawers. We must, however, stand by the rabbit. The rabbit is a captivating friend, steady in his allegiance since childhood. The public gum-chewer is a common nuisance. BOSTON'S LOSS new nearly eight years a group of people in the city of Boston kept up a constant and often a certain of the color question. White people in Boston can do best in that they are not people who must whistle at them. What is the result? What was Boston gained through this unwise action? Let us examine the facts. Twelve or thirty years ago the colony was represented by two men who were not by the house of the Legislature. Now twelve years ago the colony was represented by two men who were not by the house of the Legislature. A few years ago the colony was represented by two men who were not by the house of the Legislature. Massachusetts were honored by having one of their towns in the city of Boston in the color question. WILL RE WAS SHE It doesn't matter what and has attracted not a little comment that the colored men on the whole, failed to take their wives to the Cosmopolitan dinner. We do not know the reason for the but of white men take their wives on such occasions, it seems that colored men ought not be ashamed to take their wives. There is comment to the effect that some of the colored men find it more convenient to leave their wives at home on the occasion of these Cosmopolitan dinners. Is that true? The recent illness of Brand Whittlock, the Ohio Mayor (Toledo), gave us no small concern. His kind is so few, and its voice is of so little strength that none would give him up without a protest. May he live long. NATIONALISM Great Nation unprepared for day, Whose left hand oft would thwart your right Heed to the call rung full and clear That shakes across your morning's light! Within the fair new word is blent Faith, progress, and full brotherhood, Reworded for a prophet's call, And sounded forth as prophet would. Yet Nation of the Sister States, The less of they, the more of thee Heard in the Tribune's argument, The surer they will all be free! And do they falter at the way? Hath Oregon no faith in Maine? And fearful of some selfish loss. Would each forego a wondrous gain? Or are they weary of the road Of Progress, they have traveled far: Would step aside, or backward turn Toward Night that hath no morning star? What of their past, be they content, While youthful blood sings in their veins, And all that all the future holds They well might count among their gains? The traitor now no weapon hath But cunning tongue and stealthy scheme, They as a watchman cry "All's well, Dream on, O brothers dream!" And what awakening were theirs, When loyal sons would slothful dream! Their boasted heritage to find Beyond their heart's blood to redeem! They are not sleeping, they but pause! And soon, with pride, will front the day, To win high civic victories, Whose glory shall not pass away' —Matt Kampf in the Springfield Republican. NOTE AND COMMENT In Tennessee.

Farming in Nebraska. The Omaha Enterprise tells an interesting story of a colored man down in Cherry county who is making the soil support him. His example the Enterprise advises more young men to emulate: A P. Curtis owns a ranch in Cherry County, Nebraska, upon which he produces some of the best corn which we have seen in the west. It is raised on sod land, and indicates the possibility which lies before any man who will go out there and take up the raw land and stick to it and work out his own future. He can raise a crop of corn the first season. And it may not be amiss to remember that the land there is open to the white and black man alike. Let the colored man not overlook this opportunity.

The stockholders and board of directors of the Delta Penny Savings Bank met of Indianola on the 20th of January. There were present more than fifty stockholders. The cashier's statement showed that on January 1, 1911, the resources and liabilities were $157,687,92 and that the sight exchange was nearly $60,000. The condition of this institution was found to be the most prosperous, exceeding that of any other time in its history. A dividend of 18% per cent, was declared, 10 per cent of which was paid over to the stockholders according to the number of shares held by each, and to the board of directors.

GREELEY-LINCOLN LETTERS In Which the Great Editor Demanded Emancipation and Lincoln Sent His Famous Reply, "If I Can Save the Union, Etoe. Greeley Open Letter, 1862 "On the face of this wide earth, Mr. President, there is not one disinterested, determined, intelligent champion of the union cause who does not feel that all attempts to put down the rebellion, and at the same time uphold the inciting cause, are preposterous and futil—that the rebellion, if crushed out to-morrow, would be renewed within a year if slavery were left in full vigor—that army officers, who remain to this day devoted to slavery, can at best be freed from the union—and that every hour of defender's assault is an hour of added and deepened peril to the union. I appeal to the testimony of your ambassadors in Europe. "It is freely at your service, not mine. Ask them to tell you candidly whether the seeming subservience of your policy to the slaveholding slavery-upholding interest is not the perplexity, the deeppair of statesmen of all parties, and be admonished by the general answer." I close as I began, with the statement that what an immense majority of the loyal millions of your countrymen require of you is a frank, declared, unqualified, ungrudging execution of the laws of the land, more especially of the confiscation act. That act gives freedom to the slaves of rebels, unqualified, ungrudging execution of the laws may at any time encircle we ask you to render it due obedience by publicly requiring all your subordinates to recognize and obey it. * * * As one of the millions who would gladly have avoided this struggle at any sacrifice but principle and honor, but who now feel that the triumph of the union is indispensable not only to the existence of our country, but to the well-being of mankind, I entreat you to render a hearty and unequivocal obedience to the law of the land Yours, Horace Greeley" "Dear Sir, I have just read yours of the 19th, addressed to myself through the New York Tribune.

Church will succeed the late Bishop Grant as a member of the Jeannes Fund Board. Thos. E.

Blease, was one of the most picturesque coed men that ever sat in the American Congress. Prof H T Kealing, the brilliant editor of the A. M. E. Church Review will write the biography of Bishop Grant, by whose will President Kealing is left all papers, documents, letters The Great Leader (Columbus (O.) Evening Dispatch) The great leader of the colored race comes into renewed prominence by the publication of autobiographical chapters in a current magazine, and from concerted attacks made by a number of the dissatisfied colored leaders in various parts of the country. There is some sentiment in favor of migration to Africa, and a good deal in favor of a more aggressive attitude toward the whites. Dr Washington is opposed to both. He is teaching the Negro to make the best of the circumstances in which he finds himself—to educate both his head and his hands, to earn money and to save it, to make a home and be a good citizen. His program is not dramatic, but it is sensible, and if he has his way the blacks will make the most wonderful record of economic progress stored by a race emerged from slavery. A NEGRO TOWN Location Los Angeles, Cal., February 8, 1911— Allensworth Colony is located in Tulare County, California, and comprises the town site of Allensworth, together with about four thousand acres adjoining, which have been mostly subdivided in tracts of from five to ten acres, suitable for pleasant and profitable California homes. Tulare County lies just half way between San Francisco and Los Angles. Climate. The climate is equable. Out of the three hundred and sixty-five days of the year, no country will have a greater number of perfect days than Tulare County. The soil is of the richest delta formation, and nearly the entire tract has a top dressing of from several inches to a couple of feet of silt, which does not get muddy when it rains, and will not take after irrigation. It is ideal truck garden and fruit land and is very powerful in its productive qualities. As the ground is perfectly smooth and has the proper fall per mile, its preparation for irrigation and the irrigation of the land itself is mere boys' play. There is no sod on the land to break, and the first crop is as easy to procure as any of the succeeding crops. Water. Our colony is located in the famous artesian belt of California. Water is now being developed by the Allenworth City and Rural Water Companies.

"Giving heed to seducing spirits and socrines of demons" (I Tim thy iv. 1). "Wicked spirits in high positions" (Ephe- gians vt. 12). "The heathen sacrifice to evils and not to God" (I Corinthians x. 10). Trenton, N J.

February 12.—Fas tor Russell of Brooklyn Taberna ce preached here today in the Opera House on the "HEREAFTER" and subsequently on "Those angels which kept not their first estate" Code 6). Excellent attention was given at both services. We report the latter as follows The Blüte's teaching that the earth's atmosphere is infested with evil spirits is now very generally disbelieved. As a result of the disbelief thousands of well-meaning people are being the more easily entrapped by these evil spirits. The blight is both physical and moral. The usual method of procedure is to arouse curiosity. While the quest for knowledge proceeds, an influence much like that of hypnotism affects the investigator, impelling him forward to further investigation. Sometimes the curiosity is attracted through the outer senses at spiritualis the senses, with onlja boards, etc. At other times it is by spirit rappings Again. It may be by whisperings in the ear, inaudible to others. At other times the messages come through trance-mediums In every instance these communications purport to come from dead human beings. This of itself gives to the communication a special charm to many. They feel honored in being sought out by the dead and in being able to communicate with them. They are curious for information respecting the hereafter. They forget that they have been taught from infancy that the holy dead are far off in heaven, and that the unholy dead are far off in torment They Teach False Doctrines They Teach Fake Doctrines. How fully this is forgotten is shown by a letter which I received on the first day of this month from a Catholic lady. It it she tells how she first obtained clerical powers—the gift of hearing what others could not hear. This, in turn, permitted her to communicate with the evil spirits, the fallen angels. These, representing themselves to her as inmates of purgatory, came to her for help. They solicited her prayers and were progressing to get her more and more under their control. Just in time she was rescued through reading my writings on the subject. Since then she has exercised her will and her prayers against having any fellowship whatever with those fallen angels.

It is and commentary upon wonderful days of enlightenment that the most enlightened people should told the most useful doctrine respect the hereafter. A doctrine of demons it most surely which tells to the dishonor of God's name, that nine hundred and ninety the cent of every thousand of human are to be eternally tortured, either because of Divine incompetence to make better arrangements for them, or because God willed and foreordained it so before creation. This doctrine of demons has enslaved many honorable people who would themselves scorn to make such a plan of the ages as they attribute to God. Thank God, the time is not far distant when these seducing spirits will be completely bound, restrained, and deceive humanity thus no more. But the deception has so long prevailed that poor humanity is thoroughly under its control. The falsehood leading up to all this error is Satan's first lie to our parents in Eden. There, contradicting the words of God, he said, "Ye shall not surely die." Ever since, for six thousand years, he has worked along this line, and all the fallen angels with him. His message is, "Ye shall not surely die." You do not surely die. When men seem to die, they become more alive than before they died. On account of these errors, that dead men are alive, Satan and the fallen angels, contrary to the teachings of the Bible, have instilled into the whole world, nonsensical, heathen superstitions respecting heaven, purgatory and hell. The Catholics pray for those who go to Purgatory, to help them out. Protestants do not so pray, believing that the saintly few go direct to heaven and all of the uns intly go as directly to eternal torture. If this great life wherewith Satan first seduced Mother Eve and murdered our race could be fully eliminated from our minds and our creeds, it would mean a religious revolution to both Catholics and Protestants-back to the Bible and away from the domination and seduction of the lying spirits, the fallen angels, who personate humanity The Fallen Angels Lustful. The Fallen Angels Lustful. So far as we can learn from those who have once been spirit mediums, the trend of Spiritism is toward unchastity, impurity. And this agrees well with the Scriptural declaration relative to the sin through which these fallen angels first became reprobate St. Jude 61 and St. Peter (II Peter 11, 4), tell us briefly of the fall of the angels—that "they left their own habitat and kept not their first estate." Both Apostles mention the circumstance in connection with human lasciviousness. The story of the fall of the angels is given us briefly in Genesis v. 14. After man's fall into sin God permitted the holy angels to have communication with humanity. And because human eyes cannot see spirit beings, God permitted the angels to materialize. For instance, we note the case of the angels who visited Abraham on the plains of Mamre and for whom he prepared a veal dinner. We read that, materialized, these angels were like men, and taken by Abraham to be men, while they ate and talked with him. It was subsequently that Abraham learned that they were really heavenly visitors. their own life, and the angels are not to be expected. Correspondence that is sent to the office written on both sides of the paper will not be printed.—M. amongst those alienated from God. Anger, malice, hmuted, strife, "works of the devil," the Apostle says, are not compatible with the love, joy and peace which belong alone to a condition of holiness. Under such circumstances we cannot wonder that these fallen angels would seek association with humanity. Being under the control of Satan as a chief or prince of devils, they have followed his course and propagated his original falsehood — "Ye shall not surely die." They have conjured to men's minds the hell of the heathen, the hell and Purgatory of the Catholics, and, worst of all, our Protestant misconception of awful and unending torture for all except the saintly few. Enemies of God and Men. These doctrines of demons have increased the gulf between God and humanity and have made the Bible, the message of God's love, a book of terrors—not to be loved, merely to be endured or kept as a fetish to secure possibly a cooler place in purgatory. We may safely say that all the false doctrines of Christendom, represented in all of the creeds of the "Dark Ages," are doctrines of demons. Our minds became defiled—our hymn-books, our creeds, everything Thank God that the light of the New Dispensation is now bringing to us the beginning of blessing-release from some of our darkness. The seeing of the true wage of sin—that it is death and not eternal torment—is one of the most important features connected with our enlightenment. When we learn that the dead are really dead and, as the Bible declares, will not know anything until the resurrection, then we begin to see the beauty of God's Plan—the need of Christ's death; the need of His second coming; the need of His Kingdom; the need of a resurrection; the need of an opportunity for all mankind to come to a clear knowledge of the great Truth of redemption through the precious blood and the opportunity then, by God's grace, of attaining eternal life—either during His Gospel age, as New Creatures, spirit beings like into the angels, or in the New Dispensation during the more general salvation of the world to human perfection in an earthly Paradise. Jesus Cast Out Devila Our great Redeemer manifested his power by casting out demons from those who had become obsessed. And we read further that he commissioned his Apostles to heal all manner of disease and to cast out unclean spirits. We are told that they did this—and numerous instances, in illustration, are given us. One man was obsessed by a legion of these spirits. No won er the poor fellow was crazy. But af r they were cast out he was clothed and in his right mind and became a disciple (Luke viii. 26-30) St Paul and Silas had an experience with an obsessed young woman who practised sooth-saying, fortune-telling, by the power of the evil spirit which obsessed her. As the evil spirits recognized Jesus and cried, "We know Thee, who Thon art, Jesus," so this spirit knew the Apostles and, through the young woman's Hipe, cried after them, "These be the servants of the Most High God which show to us the way to obtain eternal life" (Acts xvI, 16-18). Neither Jesus nor the Apostles were willing to accept demon testimony and commanded the evil spirits to come out of their victims. Scientists Being Entrapped The Scriptures indicate that there will be a wonderful activity amongst the fallen angels in the close of this Gospel Age. The Master declared that the deceptions would be such that, if it were possible the "every elect" would be deserved. But that will not be possible because Divine providence stands engaged to protect the elect. The Ninety First Psalm which gives a picture of the closing of this Age and its sunday trials and tests declares that God will give his messengers a charge in caring the feet members of the Body of Christ in all their ways, lost or should be dashed against a stone of scumbling of Psalm 101. As Satan and the fallen angels is orate largely the right of the children of God, so God and his holy messengers are on the Scriptures, but God is children of Godliness as monthly as helpers as Gods am beneath in building on another up in the most holy faith. Hence the time when a trespass shall fall at this sacred time is bound of the right hand was beheld that when the entrance and obedience errors will not come right them not come right the members of the Body of Christ the elet. Our understanding of the Scriptures has been and not be based on proven facts. It is based on the power of God in the world. We seek to understand God over the world, to understand God in our daily lives, to understand God in our material life, to understand God in our time, to understand God in the world, and to understand God in our modern life. We are always seeking such things as are already beginning and how to be compulsive of our own desires. Should it not will allow us to experience the time of trouble such things has not been since the flood. God is people who resting confidently and at once under Dying supervision should be on the alert to rest everything again to Spiritism. Degustism. Hypnosis and to warn their friends to suspect these things. Numerous scientific men are being entrapped by these living spirits whose deaths and powers they are investigating under the name of Psyche Phenomena. Thank God we are nearing the time when Satan shall be bound and when every will influence shall be restrained. Not only will there be a full cleaning from a physical obsession, but a still greater cleaning and freeing from the doctrines of demons.

An Illuminating Review of Liberian Conditions as Published in the Journal of Race Development for January—Liberia Has Done Well Under the Conditions It Had to Contend With. The third number of the Journal of Race Development, a quarterly published by Clark University, Worcester, Mass, has just been issued. It contains, among other things, an article by Emmett J. Scott, Executive Secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, and late member of the Commission of the United States to Liberia. This article is, perhaps, the best and clearest statement that has yet been published of the present condition and future prospects of the little Negro state in Africa. After reviewing briefly the history of Liberia and its relation to the United States, Mr Scott calls attention to the fact that of the population of Liberia, there are 2,000,000 natives or Aborigines, and 50,000 civilized Negroes. Of these 50,000 civilized Negroes, only about 12,000 or 15,000 come from America or are descendants of those who did. This means, as Mr. Scott remarks, that the influence of civilization has been extended by the America-Liberian to about 38,000 of the native population. This alone is probably more than can be said of that of any other mission to Africa has succeeded in doing at the same time. The difficulty under which the colony labors, according to Mr. Scott, arises largely out of the fact that these 50,000 of civilized Negroes are expected to educate, civilize, govern and control the 2000,000 of natives or aborigines and they have been trying to do this, holding themselves, as far as possible, aloof from Europeans, and as a consequence, have been kept out of touch with the civilization of the rest of the world. In spite of some failures and mistakes, Mr. Scott emphasizes the fact that the Negro colonists have not, as was predicted, fallen back into the condition of savagery of the native tribes. As a rule, their cities are peaceful and law-abiding. "Person and property," says he, "are safe here is regard for public authority and a wholesome public sentiment. It was with us (the American Commission to Liberian, a constant source of remark, that the streets of Monrovia, the capital city, were as safe and as quiet, night and day, as those of any village we could call to mind in our own country (On Sundays) he continues, the Liberians a beautiful nation, raising the Liberian flag and most of the civilians people attend services in some of the churches or remain quietly in their homes. Sunday is a day of especial quiet. The adjacent native villages feel the influence of the towns and cities and are also rather quiet." Mr Scott admits that the Liberians are not artisans, but he says that the Commission was impressed in reading through the state papers with the adultery shown in the handling their foreign affairs. The tact and ability they have shown in a number of critical matters, such as the much praise in high diplomatic circles." The place where the Liberians have made their mistake has been in the matter of finance. More than once in the course of their history, in their attempts to obtain capital for the development of the country, they have been made the victims of European money lenders. The last instance is the loan made by the Liberian Development Company, of which Sir Harry Johnston, former Governor General of British East Africa, was managing director. It is evident, from what Mr Scott says, that the whole truth relates to the poor condition of the company, has not yet been made public and it is very possible that it is now the subject of diplomatic negotiations. What Mr Scott did say is, however, so interesting and so full of news, that it deserves to be reprinted. He says Sir Harry Johnston to whom I have referred with the prestige of his old record as Governor General of British East Africa visited in 1904. He became most senior Liberian possessions Head of Defence before the delictious visit of the President and the Lieutenant Commander upon scheme for the development of their country in the East Africa. He was ready to embark upon it was ready to embark upon it after scheme submitted to matters they could bodily have and re-stand. I am pleased to announce in the name of the purpose of the agreement to turn over to the Government of Ireland the sum of £2,000 for the further sum of £2,000 for the notes. This was the cash equivalent that was guaranteed the loan. I therefore practically and highways the about the republic, and so it was quite properly proposed and agreed that some part of the proceeds should be set aside for the purpose of road building. The Liberiana, however were not keen enough to have stated in the agreement the amount that should be expanded, and the plan of audit. Another sum was to be set aside for paying off some of the existing debenture bonds of the Liberian Development Company, and take care of some of its current liabilities, and some where should be a remainder, it was to be used for certain schemes of the company, among other a Bank Bschema. center of Sir Hugh Lloyd, the former of the Liberty Company, it is said, surpassed the purple that such a demand must be made him and his all responsibility to the Liberty Gov- ernment for the war in which the money had been or was to be expended. He persistently refused to render any accounts, until he found the position he maintained was so untenable that he could not depend upon his Gov- ernment for support, he also found that President Barclay was about to sever all relations with his company maintaining, in the absence of any accounting, that the Government of Liberia would hold itself responsible only for the cash actually received. About $200,000 of the amount raised on the credit of the Government, it is said, ```markdown ``` Nestly "FURNISHED ROOMS Oct 6-8m Telephone, 2323 Morningside HOTEL ALEXANDER 111 and 118 West 134th Street FIRST CLASS ACCOMMODATION Handsomely furnished Rooms with All Conveniences RESTAURANT ATTACHED J.

JOHNSON 408-838-8000 Praegercom "MY FRIEND FROM DIXIE" LAST week "My Friend From Dixie" was a visitor in Greater New York, sojourning at the Amphion Theatre, Brooklyn, from Monday until late Saturday evening, leaving for Baltimore Saturday Although it was "My Friend From Dixie's" first trip East, coming to this section of the country a total stranger, nevertheless, our new acquaintance, who possesses the happy faculty of making friends quickly, had not been in town many hours before being able to boast of a host or admirers. While "My Friend From Dixie came to Greater New York quietly, yet the visitor from the Southland was accompanied by a retinue of more than thirty. Our guest was somewhat disappointed because more colored citizens did not pay respects, but the management of the Amphon Theatre should be blamed for this seeming lack of courtesy on the part of the colored residents. Advices were given those having the tour in charge to announce the coming of My Friend From Dixie" in the colored papers. However, the Amphon Theatre people did not think such a step was necessary, believing that announcement in the white papers was sufficient. They think differently now "My Friend From Dixie," the latest colored musical show on the road, which is headed by I. Leubro Hul, cannot be classed with such productions as "Mr. Lode of Koul and "The Red Moon," for it is not so am- A. E. J LEUBRIE HILL bitious an offering in the matter of lavish seeme effects not with reference to the assemblage of talented Thespians And yet My friend from Dixie book and music by Leubrie Hill ensembles by Will Hodery, can be pleasantly referred to and in a complimentary manner. There are several agreeable surprises sprung by My friend From Dixie." Having been cut by the people of Washington and given such acant recognition in the Capital City," I was under the impression that there was but little merit, if any, to the new production. It is pleasing to relate that the show is not a small one, carrying about thirty five people, that several of the musical numbers are staged and rendered in a way that would do credit to our Broadway productions, and then, there are several buds of promise in this galaxy of raw material that should make their mark before the footlights in the years to be For instance Ions A. Mitchell, who was a chorus man in the Red Moon," plays the role of Jaster Green, an old man character, as though he had been doing parts for a number of seasons. The make up of this youngster is one of the best I have seen. The only jarting note is when he sings his vigorous tenor voice is not in keeping with his presumed advanced years. Evon Robertson in the few lines she has to do, while playing the character of Kate Krew, a society reporter, gives evidence of some day making an enviable reputation for herself in speaking parts. Her communication is good. Of course, the chief funmaker is Leibrueb Hill, who, as Mandy Lee hands out a large number of laughs during the performance, it is no great surprise to me to see Mr. Hill at the head of a show, as he has been assiduously striving to accomplish this for several years. Then he has made good in all the minor comedy parts given him in the Williams and Walker and Ernst Hogan companies, and has demonstrated that he is a versatile performer. In the role of Mandy Lee Mr. Hill present the spectacle of the star playing a female part something out of the ordinary in a colored production. Will Brown formerly of Grimes and Brown, as Bill Summert, makes an acceptable straight man. He is in good singing voice and is dressing his part. Leona Marshall and Mayme Butler, both late of The Red Moon Company, have prominent parts in the cast and wear fetching customers. Miss Butler is known for her contralto voice of great volume. She is applauded in her song 'Meet We When the Sun Goes Down' but if she would sing the number with more temperament and as if she really cared to meet her sweetheart when the sun was setting in the West her rendition would be more highly appreciated. MUSIC AND THE STAGE Richard W. Shelton as Jim Jackson Lee ranks next to J. Leubrie Hill as the laughsmith of the show and hard to please. Others in the cast are Jula Gideon, Hattie Akers, O T Garrett, Quetta Watts, Arthur Carr, Coleman L. Minor, Charles H Woody and Tiny Ray The most melodious as well as most artistically rendered song in the show is "That Real Coony Rag," which is the last number on the program I have spoken of some of the agreeable surprises sprung by "My Friend From Dixie." Now I deem it timely to tell of a surprise that did not possess the quality of being agreeable. Although it has been a long, long time since J Leubrie Hill has been in a colored production that was tainted with a prevalence of dialogue about dice, gin, etc, yet he seems to feel it necessary to burden the playgoer with such obsolete lines and situations in "My Friend From Dixie." Gun plays, dice games and references to gin, raisons and watermelon may have pulled laughs years ago, but not now I looked around at the white theatregoers about me when these objectionable features were introduced, but as far as I could see not even half of a smile was provoked by their usage. I do not think that a colored musical production should be written to argue a moral thesis but colored writers should refrain from trying to manufacture comedy by resorting to methods which do the race no good. Mr Hill would do well to eliminate those crude, offensive and ante bellum attempts to oceon murth. They are not worth the whim. 'My Friend From Dixie' left many well-wisers in New York, and I am proud to state that I am one of that number --- WHERE THE SHOWS ARE HIS HONOR THE BURBERT Les Moline la Bébé 1615 Pointe 1812 BLACK FATHER Gennelle L.

GOOD BILL AT CREBCENT There was not a poor act on the bill at the Crescent Theatre the first part of the week. Michaels and Michaels had the choice spot. Their opening and closing numbers are strong, and the act is well dressed. Ethel Coles is one of the most acceptable partners Dan Michaels has ever had. Heretofore Michaels has "gone big" in his dancing, which has always been the hit of his act. He has used bad judgment in eliminating his eccentric steps. Alten and Chenault are big favorites at the Crescent Theatre, and although they have played the house about four times in the past two months, they were cordially greeted at every performance. If "Boots" Allen continues to improve as a comedian, he is sure to some day invade the ranks of our leading colored funmakers Grace Hoyt and Nettie Starks, formerly of the Cubanola Trio, have formed a sister act—one which is full of merit. Every member is strong, and the act is well put together. Their singing and dancing is deserving of praise. Miss Starks should not let Miss Hoyt do all the smiling. A pleasant look from her at intervals would be thankfully received On the bill the latter part of the week are the Roys, Gillam and King and "Princess Bonita," the horse that is said to do almost everything but talk.

Iron Williams president of the C V B. A, writes that the Dixie Serenaders is making a hit over the New England time. In Lewiston, Me, last week the Evening Journal said "The Dixie Serenaders, in a coon town festival, have furnished us a glimpse of real Down South mannersisms, singers, dancers and comedians. This sex-tet of colored performers are scoring one of the biggest hits ever accorded an act in this theatre." The act is at the Portland Theatre, Portland, Me, this week. The following letter has been received by Counsellor James L. Curts, who spoke before the Colored Vaudeville Benefolent Association on "The Power of Organization" a few Sundays ago. "Your timely and eloquent address on 'The Power of Organization,' which was listened to by the fortunate members of the C V B V was most inspiring. To thank you in writing is but a poor way to show our appreciation. We know of no means adequate to express to you our gratitude. That your remarks have home good fruit is already manifest, and the sound, sensible and kindly advice given by you has had great influence with our members. We again thank you and will gladly heart you often. We extend you at all times a hearty welcome in our midst, and if at any time we can assist you in any way we are yours to command.

Over $350 was realized from the benefit given by the Colored Vaudeville Renewed Association at the Crescent Theatre last Wednesday, in aid of the association, which exceeded all expectations, in view of the small seating capacity of the house, which was donated to the vaudevillians by Messrs Johnson and Flur-gelman. At the afternoon's performance many were turned away, and in the evening every seat in the theatre was occupied. John Rucker and Frank Brown were the hit of the evening's bill. Among those to participate were John Rucker, Harry Fiddler, of Fiddler and Shelton, Cook and Stevens, Theodore Pankey, Gaines and Jones, Scott Joplin, Black Carl, Dabney and Jackson, De Lyons and Jeffries, Charles C. Bougia, Crumbley and Davis, Karle Cook, the Alpha Comedy . . . --- . . . Five, Henry Pleasant, George W. Hamilton and B. S. Gayten. Bob Slater officiated as announcer. One of the features of the benefit was the playing of the C. V. B. A. Orchestra. Much credit is due Charles H. Moore, chairman of the arrangement committee, for his untiring efforts to make the benefit a success. GIVE BENEFIT IN "CHL" Last Thursday evening the colored performers playing in Chicago gave a midnight entertainment at the Monogram Theatre, Thirty-first and State streets, for the benefit of Theodore Henderson, of the team of Henderson & Thomas, who is seriously ill with tuberculosis. The act was compelled to close over the Pantages Circuit on account of Henderson's condition Appearing on the bill were Perrin and Crosby, Honey Johnson, Davis and Walker, Shelton Brooks, Murphy and Francis, Allie Gillam, Deas, Reed and Deas McKussick and Shadney, Jerry Mills, Sims and Thompson, Gette Brown, Rosa Brown and Belles, Frank Walker, Griffin Sisters, Clarence Tisdale, Mitchell and Brady, Charles Gulpin, the Eight Africanders, Leroy Bland, Lime Kuln Comedy Four, Claude Winfrey, Green and White, Madge Clinton and the Gold Dust Twins Music was furnished by the Monogram Orchestra, composed of W C Sweatman, W H Dorsey and George Reeves The sum of $0070 was realized from the show, and $26 30 additional in subscriptions was received.

Two Games. In decisive fashion at Manhattan Casino Monday evening the Alpha baseball team demonstrated that it was the superior of the St Christopher quint playing rings around the latter in the last half and winning by the score of 24 to 13. At the end of the first half the score stood 10 to 9 in favor of St Christopher, and the 'St C' rosters were blurbious with joy. The Alphas were taken off their feet in the last few minutes of that half by the aggressive work of the St Christophers and conditions favored the younger team winning out. The Alphas gave a great exhibition of uphill playing in the second half, and it was not long before they had second base over their opponent causing the Alpha followers to show that they were greatly satisfied with turn of affairs in no uncertain terms. The game was vigorously contested throughout, and quite a number of fouls were registered against both teams Matthews and Alvin Thomas were the stars for Alphas, and Hargrove and Lewis did the best playing for the St. Christophers, the four players attaining favorable attention by their all around work. During the last half of the match several young men furnished a number that was not on the program and which was not appreciated by the ladies and gentlemen present. Because they favored different teams they could not refrain from indulging in a tight,orming game. Several saluting ladies were crushed in the pellet. One hostander, who appeared very much disgusted, was heard to ask a friend "Dogs higher education educate." The response was "Some times yes, other times, no." The class of people that supports basketball games played between our colored clubs does not attend to see a prize fight, and young men of education and refinement should not so get us to make themselves obsessed. The content was witnessed by a representative gathering. There was dancing after the game.

And many of the others have been involved in the company, in their efforts to pull it through the panic. This whole matter may be summed up in a single thought, namely: Inexperience on the part of the director, the company manager, the division manager, the panic, which resulted in the loss of confidence in the company by the stockholders, and the panic of 1897. The combination of the aforementioned evils made it impossible for the company to raise sufficient funds to protect the investments of the company and others who dealt with the company seized every opportunity to take advantage of it. But in spite of all this, I still believe that conditions are such, that if the stockholders will co-operate with each other that the company can be put on its reel again, to which end I am now working. GIVEN OVATION IN AUGUSTA (Continued from Page 1) who wants to find work need go without it. On the other hand, in most cases, instead of the black man having to seek labor, labor seeks him. And then here in the South the Negro is not shut out, as in many other parts of the country, from skilled labor. In many countries of the world people who have the same degree of civilization work when they can only get 15 to 20 cents a day for their labor. In every part of the Southland we get many times that much money per day for our labor. "At the close of the year applying Dr. Washington made an earnest appeal for the work being done at the Walker Baptist Institute in this city. The collection resulted in several hundred dollars in cash and subscriptions. "After the speaking yesterday Dr. Washington was dined at the residence of Uriah Carr, Sr., on Carrie street, with Dr. C. T. Walker and four or five others. He left on the 4 o'clock train by way of the Atlantic Coast Line for New York City, where he speaks tonight at the Ethical Culture Society Hall for the benefit of Hampton Institute in Virginia, from which institution Washington was graduated some 30 years. Dr. C. Williams, a graduate of Tuckeye, entertained Wr Washington at breakfast. Among those at dinner with Dr Washington were Rev. Dr. C. T Walker, Dr. Geo S Burrus, Rev Dr Wm. J.

One of these is the problem of defending herself against the aggression of the neighboring colonial governments. The second is the problem of developing the great hinterland where she lives, the richest parts of Africa, and which, it is claimed, is now held back in its development because of the lack of capital and enterprise of the Liberians. Then, there is the problem of Christianizing and assimilating the native whites in a problem that requires both tact and sympathy, as well as money. It has been charged that under the Liberian rule there is a growing restlessness among the natives and that the) have been harshly and arbitrarily dealt with by the Liberians. In regard to this Mr Scott says: "Certainly there is no more native unrest. I should say, under European domination which has followed the partition of Africa by the Powers of Europe. I do not believe that any one contends that the difficulties in Belgian Congo, in the French Congo, in the Portuguese colonies, in German Southwest Africa, in South Africa, and in Egypt. I should say that Liberia should seek to attain at least as much success in dealing with the natives as the European governments have with the natives in their colonies. There is a native government in Africa that it tries. It is just now rather secondary than primary, more remote than immediate." After describing to some extent the resources and possibilities of Liberia and referring to the complexities that grow out of the boundary disputes with the British, the article concludes as follows: "I have spoken mainly in defense of the Liberians, but not without the keenest appreciation of the faults of the African continent. Hope, faith, confidence, racial ties—all lead me most earnestly to hope that there may be preserved this one spot on the African continent where, unhampered, the black man may be persecuted, but out his deity in fear and trembling. "Is Liberia worth saving?" I believe that it is. Her people are not revolutionary in character, as are, for instance, those belligerent friends to the Liberians, who are not bankrupt despite alarmist reports to the contrary. The Liberians have advanced and not retreated in civilization. They have helped to uplift the natives—to no considerable degree, it is true. They have made a considerable difference. Finally, they have given the lie to the statement that "Negroes cannot conduct an orderly form of government," guaranteeing to its people life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Age heartily commends the entire article to the careful reading of the general public. The Journal of Race Development in a magazine published by the Clark University, Worcester, Mana, and is devoted to the study of the causes of races generally considered backward in their standards of civilization.

Thompson following a little boat. They reached Kannan in 1864 and lived through a winter of fevers and irritations, during which the pro-slavery artisans and the Free Soil men kept rice. Thompson earned a meagre living as carpenter and shopkeeper. Hostilities broke out in the spring of 1856, when came the Southern invasion in May and the destruction of the Free State town of Lawrence. Retaliation followed toward the end of the month, with five pro-slavery men dragged from their beds and butchered in the Potawatomi massacre, which brought half of Missouri over the border in arms. Brown, with a small band, had taken to the open two days before the massacre. He approved it with religious serenity and Henry Thompson has ever echoed the approval, saying that the Potawatonie affair was necessary and right and the best deed ever done in Kansas. Its immediate consequence was the "Battle of Black Jack," in which John Brown, with his sons, Henry Thompson, his son-in-law, and other men to the number of twenty-five worsted a greatly superior force of slavers, compelling the surviving foes to surrender in form to Brown. Thompson was terribly wounded early in the day, and after fighting as long as his strength held out he dragged himself to cover With his brothers-in-law, Owen and Salmon Brown, he lay for six weeks concealed, suffering terribly from his wounds and from malarial fever. At last John Brown, both to permit their recovery and to disbarrass himself of the care of his wounded, conveyed them out of Kansas in a prairie schooner to Iowa. Thompson returned to his wife and his Adriadore dock, crippled and sad, dened for life, to spend the rest of his days in peace. When John Brown was preparing for his raid on the arsenal at Harper's Ferry he besought his daughter Ruth again to spare her husband for a night in a holy cause, but she answered that she could not bear the thought, and Thompson was worm in his resolve to live at peace. Some years later the Thompson journeyed to California, a venture which exhausted their means, and started life anew on the Pacific Coast. Thompson worked as industriously as his broken strength permitted, and their Pasadena home was a happy one until Mrs. Thompson became a permanent invalid and Thompson's strength had so far failed that he could not earn enough for their support. Their existence and the education of the daughter born to them late in their lives were for years a problem when the daughter he helped to solve since reaching an age. HOPE TO DEFEAT BILL Not Much Likelihood of Bill Providing for "Jim Craw" Caras Passing in West Virginia Legislature — Fight Being Made on John C. Gilmer. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Campton, W. Va., Feb. 14. He hardly probable that House Bill 14 better known as the Jim Crow Bill will pass, even if it reaches the third reading in the house. The committee having the bill under consideration has made a report recommending that it fail of passage. The measure has also been again submitted to the Judiciary Committee, and as the committee has already made one unattainable report, it is thought that this time the bill will either meet a similar fate or be pigeonholed. In either event West Virginia will not have separate cars for two years, as the Republicans in the Senate can prevent any such legislation. Another bit of proposed legislation in which the Negro people of the State are more or less interested - that is, those if them who knew anything about it - is Senate Bill No 57 and House Bill No 58, both seeking to transfer the appointment of the State Librarian from the governor to the Supreme Court of Appeals. On its face, the measure is harmless, for the reason that the Court is wholly Republican at this time, and will remain so for the next six years, provided no additions are made to its number. This would assure the appointment of a Republican if the bill becomes a law and the possible retention of the present incumbent, John C. Gilmer, editor of the Advocate. Bill to Establish Orphans' Home. House Bill No. 17 is another measure affecting the Negro. Its title reads, "A bill to establish the West Virginia Orphans' Home, near Huntington, County of Cabell, and to provide for the management thereof and authorizing the Board of Control of this State to purchase the farm and building now used by the Colored Orphans' Home and Industrial School." A resume of the financial report of the home appeared in these columns last week. Superintendent McGhee, in view of the fact that the State is supporting wholly an orphanage for whites, and the increasing difficulty of securing the means to carry on his institution, has had his representative to introduce H. P. No. 17. It is a meritorious measure and should be passed, but relatively it is of such little importance as compared with the other matters which will claim the attention of the Legislature, and it is so far down on the calendar that action neither one way nor another is likely to be taken before the adjournment. J M Ellis, the last Negro member of the Legislature, was in the city last week looking after legislation in which he is interested. BISHOP BURY'S PRAISE Great Churchman Says That Persistence is One of the Main Traits of Colored Race. Bishop Herbert Bury is in the city for a few days before he battles for London to take up his duties as Bishop Lordjustor to the Bishop of London to the Bishop of London to the Bishop of Central America and has long been a favorite with the colored people of South America and the West Indies. Bishop Bury spoke in warm words of praise of the work of Lordjustor not only in building the Panama Canal and creating a healthy moral influence throughout the zone. Bishop Bury has great belief in the future of the Negro this man who has worked among them so long and has he always found that one of his main characteristics is that of persistence. "When a Negro community wants a church and services they give us no ```markdown ``` BELLMEN'S BALL A BIG AFFAIR Sweeney Annual Affair Largest Attendance—Two Bands Furnished Music And the Dancers Had a Merry Time. Nobody will be surprised to learn that Bellman's ball at last Friday night was a huge affair. Everybody who knows anything of the Bellman would be surprised if they did not pull off one of the swell affairs of the season. An other ball was scheduled for the same evening, but it made no difference to the fajghtfuls who use the functions of Thomas Alston's hosts for a calendar. Manhattan Casno was dressed up in new paint, new paper, and everything new to entertain the seventeenth annual grand ball of the best organized and best dressed belmiles in the country. Two bands it was necessary to have to accommodate the New Amsterdam Orchestra and the New Amsterdam Brass Band were stationed at either end of the ball. They may have made better music some time somewhere, but there is no record of it. All the boxes, excepting possibly a half dozen, were taken by the leading hotels of New York City, big printed signs denoting the holders. And each of these boxes were crowded with hotel proprietors and their families, who came out to let the bellmen know how much their services are appreciated down town, where a bellman's patience beats Job's patience two leagues and more. The hotels represented included the Astor, the Imperial, the Broadway Central, the Navarre, the New York Avenue and many. The hotel fold weren't at all stuck up, for they came right down on the floor and danced among the throng. How well colored people can dance it is always easy to tell when their white friends dance on the same floor. The grand march, led by member Hawkins, who cut a big figure, was finely executed. With President Alston were Vice-President Denham, Harry Knight, B. L. Hicks, Joe White, and other officers of the association, who looked like officers marching at the head of the procession. In addition to the bellmen there were many prominent citizens present, including J C Thomas, Walter Boyd, D Macon Webster, Chas Davis, Gib Young, and others. Ladies might have some time or other been more beautifully dressed and gentlemen might have been better dressed or more urbane, but when? The bellmen scored again and maintained their place way up "front." Joe White chairman of the reception committee, is now at his job again. BUFFALO MANAGERS PLENTIFUL.

Mr Albert Lane, the trusted and faithful messenger of the People's Bank, George Dovee of the Fidelity Trust, and Henry L. Hewlett of the German American and Henry L. Hewlett of the International, all are a credit to the race here. All must must I speak of Henry H. Lewis, whose father was for many years pastor of the A. M. B.
