Leading Negro Newspaper VOL. XXIV. No. 21. WHITE OWNERS ARE RIDICULED Latest Agreement to Exclude Negroes From Section a Farce MADE A LAUGHING STOCK Colored Residents Well Aware that Covenant Filed is Illegal and Unconstitutional WEAK POINTS IN DOCUMENT Colored Real Estate Dealer Asserts That White Owner is Always Responsible for "Negro Invasion." In their ludicrous attempt to make West 10th street, between Lenox and Nighth avenues, a little spot uninhabited by Negroes, although three colored families already live in the block between Lenox and Seventh avenues, the white property owners have made themselves the laughing stock of the colored residents of the neighborhood as well as many real estate dealers and lawyers, who look upon the actions of the owners in signing an agreement not to sell to Negroes for the next fifteen years a big force. Knowing that it is illegal and unconventional to deprive the Negro of the right to buy property in certain sections on account of their color, announcement in the daily press that ninety-one white property owners had met Friday and filed in the Register's office in the Hall of Records a voluminous document binding them is not to sell their property to Negroes, was received with assurance. The ninety-one signers are told to represent eighty-five per cent. of the property owners. The property owners who did not sign the agreement, accounting to fifteen percent, are not guilty by the tenement, the court, and are liberty to dispose of the property as they see fit, which they will very likely The Latest Farce Comedy. The latest farce comedy, "How to Keep Negroes Out of West 136th Street, is being very much enjoyed by the colored residents of Harlem. While they have heretofore regarded the efforts of the principals as a huge joke, the property owners did not make themselves ridiculous until last Friday, when they flied the covenant and made known the clauses in the document, which even limits the number of colored servants each signer should have. As the colored residents on West 136th street and the white owners who did not sign the agreement are in no manner bound by the curious document, there is not much reason to believe that less colored servants will be employed on the street than in the past. One of the white property owners who refused to sign the covenant, in speaking of the servant question was heard to remark that half of the signers need not bother about the employment of colored servants, as their finances will prevent them from evinuring one. Document That Has Caused Amusement A part of the document which has provoked so much amusement reads : The property owners bind themselves not to allow any part of their premises to be occupied in whole or in part by any Negro, mulatto, quadroon or octoroon of either sex either as a tenant, guest, householder, occupant in any other capacity, way or manner in each house or that may not employ more than "one male and one female Negro or two Negroes," mulatto, quadroons or octoroons to perform the duties ordinarily performed by a household servant. They only one black man servant to each family. Some of the signers of the document are owners of apartment houses. The document doesn't forbid their employing Negro elevator boys, but no house may be more Negro bellboys, fanatics, owners or private servants in it than it has families of whites. The $1 property owners agree that any one who breaks the covariance will render himself or herself to equity proceedings, injunction proceedings and damage suits by the other. The covariance is legalized by the payment of the customary technical dollar by each of the signers. To prevent the covariance being deferred unconstitutional the property owner take care to state they have made to preclude or prevent Negroes or other descent from occupying the premises to use of their color or race. News of Colored Real Estate Dealers Colored real estate dealers, including Mall and Lacker, Philip A Payton, Jr. and John M Rowall, have no hesitation in declaring that the agreement formed between the owners is a crude and illegal agreement which puts the signers in a legal right. That the covenant would be lured unconstitutional if ever the court is the unanimous opinion column. One comment young real estate broker is referring to the charge that colored real estate dealers' actions blackened sections occupied solely by white people made the following state The New York Age ment to a representative of THE AGE: "The colored real estate dealers are being accused of bringing about colored invasions in sections occupied by white people, a charge which is untrue. It is some white owner in the district who wants to get a good price for his property who starts all the trouble. No colored person could buy a house of a white owner unless the latter agreed to it. No colored real estate dealer could act as broker in the transfer of the property unless the white owner was a party to the unseat. "In almost every instance white property owners use the daily papers for their scheme and have it published that 'Negroes are going to invade the neighborhood.' Colored real estate dealers are refusing to become a party to these schemes. "The two families that recently purchased property in West 136th street did not buy with a view to blackmail nor with any intent to start trouble. They liked the property, and having the money, bought it. The fact that they have refused to sell should be proof positive that they did not make purchases with any idea of speculating. "One of the latest forms of Negrophobia to-day is the effort being made in different parts of the United States to segregate the Negro. The owner out of count of the Baltimore ordinance years ago, followed by the defeat of a segregation measure m Kansas City, Mo. should show these ignorant New Yorkers what a foolish job they have undertaken. As long as Negroes have money and are respectable they will continue to buy property wherever they desire, and no agreement or law can stop them." WIN VICTORIES IN ES IRGINIA "Jim Crow" Car Bill Defaced in State Legislature and Measure to Give Supreme Court Power to Appoint State Librarian Also Downed. Special to THE NEW YORK AQR Charleston, W Va., Feb 20—It is reasonably safe to predict now that the West Virginia Legislature, overwhelmingly Democratic in the lower and evenly divided between the parties in the upper House, will pass no measures imminal to the Negro The "Jim Crow" car bill was laid to rest on its third reading in the House, many Democrats voting against it because of the effect its passage would have on the black vote which they must have in large numbers two years hence to get the vote of the State. The measure seeking to remove the appointment of the State Liberian from the hands of the Governor and give it to the Supreme Court was lost in the Senate on a strict party vote, the Republicans opposing. The fraternal society bill, the most iniquitous yet presented, iniquitous in that it aims to put the Negro Pythians, Masons, Odd Fellows, Red Men and Elks out of business, was passed in the House, but the prospects for its enactment are far from bright. Learning its provisions, State Librarian J. C. Gilmer, notified the heads of the fraternities threatened and they, with a number of other prominent Negroes of the State, assembled here Thursday of last week. He arranged a conference between them and the Republican Senators, who gave every assurance that the measure would be killed either in committee or on the floor. The Gilmer also arranged for the reception of the delegation by the Governor, the office being thank him for his successful efforts in checking mob violence. In the past two years, on Governor Glasscock's order, troops have been called out three times to portect from mobs Negroes accused of criminal assault on white women. Two of the four accused, after an impartial trial, were acquitted. SCHIFF PRAISES WASHINGTON New York Banker Spends Two Days at Tuskegee and Marvels at Institution—Far Beyond Anything He Expected to See. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Tuskogee, Ala., Feb. 20.—Jacob H. Schiff of New York and a party of friends have just completed a two days' visit to Tuskeguee. Speaking to the students Mr Schiff said: "I have long admired the work of Dr Booker T. Washington, but now that I have seen it I cannot find words to express my gratification. It is far beyond anything that I expected to see. As I walked through your grounds my heart filled with pride to find what had been accomplished by a single man. "It is an object lesson which I shall never forget. It has been an inspiration to me, and when I return home I intend to send my son and my grandchildren here that they may get the same inspiration that I have. "Work, he said, "has become the blessing of the world. There is no greater happiness than that oblioned honest work. I do not pity you for your hardships; I envy you the opportunities you have here." Mr. Schiff's party, which consists of Gen James H Wilson, Leo Arnstein and Dr H R Frissell, principal of the Hampton Institute, left in a special car for Jacksonville. TO SPEAK DURING LENT Principal Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute, has been invited by the pastor of St Bartholomew's Church, one of the richest and most exclusive churches in New York City, to speak in a series of special meetings to be held on Sunday evenings during Lent in March and April.

Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey N W YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1911. ATKINS' STATEMENT AROUSES HORNETS NEST Directors and Stockholders Reply to Head of Defunct Company Former Secretary Jones tells Why Company Failed—Stockholders Also Air Their Views. John H Atkin's statement in last week's issue of The Age, in which the president of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company gave the receipts and disbursements of the company, and criticised the actions of several of the directors and stockholders, has aroused a hornet's nest and brought forth numerous replies from officers and stockholders. Three persons in particular take issue with the views expressed by Mr. Atkins—P. E. Jones, who recently resigned as secretary of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company; H. H. Dennis and Rev. J. C. Love, two of the stockholders who have been active in securing the appointment of a receiver for the concern. Former Secretary Jones in commenting on the failure of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, has the following to say: "Probably never before within the history of the emancipation of our people have so many wiseacres and knallows obtruded themselves upon an enraged and unsuspecting public who are pervious to any sort of an impression, so long as it tends to denounce first, the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, and second, to incriminate the officers, directors and even agents of the company. The air is full of acrimony, suspicion, calumny, slander and blackmail, while the atmosphere is surcharged with misrepresentation, exaggeration of the failure of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company. Many there are who were not connected with the company, but were involved and had, so fact could impart no information whatever as to the cause or causes of failure, have come forward unought and insolicited, with a resume of causes, the company's failure. "So beguiled even have the officers and directors themselves become by this chaotic and confused condition of thugs, until one of the officers of the company, and the one if any who should know the facts as to the causes of the company's failure, published a statement in THE NEW YORK AGE of the issue of February 10, in which, in point of indefiniteness, incoherency, uncohesness, duplicity and perambulation, is unsurpassed by anything in downright devilish machination, and has no compete in the attempt on the part of the writer of that article to incriminate without specification all the agents and employees of the company, and to use whatever influence he has left him now, to besurch the fair escutecheons and becloud the reputations of innocent men and women, and particularly some of the directors against whom he has personal enmity. This is not only ungentlemanly and unmanly, but is also deceptive and treacherous as well. Presaging the maintenance of the allegations against him, he has already sought to put in a defense before the accusers have proven their accusations. "In view of this general unrest and disordered state of the public mind concerning the failure of the company, and their seeming efforts to ascertain the causes (although I am unable to commend the methods they have been and are pursuing), I have affected to impart to the public my conceptions of the failure of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company. The Main Cause of Failure The main and primary cause of the failure of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company was due to the application of a wrong business policy in the management of the affairs of the company. This business policy consisted of the following fatal elements: First.—The making of one of the officers of the company the absolute and ultimate receiver of all funds of the corporation from whatever source of the company's business activities; and investing in him the power to expend the same amount required in many cases and without review in any. Second.—The making of that same officer the absolute and sole endorser and issuer of all negotiable instruments of the corporation of whatever kind and to an unlimited extent without recourse to the Board of Directors. Third.—The making of that same officer the absolute manager of the company, from the greatest, gravest and most important business undertakings, to the insignificant and trifling details of the company's affairs, from the launching of gigantic business operations and the discharging of employees and the fixing of their commissions and salaries. Fourth.—The indisposition on the part of the Board of Directors to change the above order of things, and to assume that responsibility of the corporation which their relation as directors imposed upon them. Fifth—The idolizing of that same officer by the stockholders is a plenary powers, reposing in him childlike confidence without even disimulation at times, and attributing credit and honor for every good JOHN H. deed of the entire company, or of any of its agents and employees. Sixth—An unusually weak board of directors, inexperienced in the work in which they had embarked, the preventing of rafted stockholder fraud and the failure of the stockholders to exert the proper influence and to exercise their right of inquiry into the management of the company, and to exercise greater diligence in secretion in the election of directors. Seventh.—The secret method or inside understanding of conducting the affairs of the company, and a reluctance, if not failure altogether, to take the stockholders into confidence, and to invite their intervention in the management of the affairs of the company. Eighth.—The disastrous investments in which the stockholders' moneys were invested without their consultation or consent; the taking on of more obligations than the company could discharge, and the inability to unload the same while the company was in the policy of assuming too many large obligations on the installment plan. Ninth.—Finally, the failure of the company was due to misplaced confidence in and the investing of the aforesaid officer of the company, who was supposed to him to do whatever he desired thought best, to the extent that a mistake of that officer became the mistake of the corporation, and the want of discretion or a wrong use of discretion on the part of the officer, so that not failure might result, as it has already resulted, to the company. Stockholders Also to Blame. "The stockholders of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company had no small concern in its failure. Not because of what is owing to the company, but in condoning the wrong expenditure of the funds that actually came into the coffers of the company. In other words, in supporting and perpetuating the wrong business policy referred to above. One instance will suffice: I know of certain instances since I have been officially connected with the company, and before I was so connected; and there are other officers, directors and employees, and even stockholders' who know of times when stockholders came to the home office of the company to pay something on account, or to do any other business with the company, and would absolutely CONGRATULATE ELIHU ROOT New York's Senator Praised by Chicago Citizens for Opposing Direct Nomination of United States Senators. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Washington, D. C., Feb. 21. -Senator Root has received the following letter from the Frederick Douglass Center, Chicago, thanking him for his stand against the election of United States Senators by direct vote: Hon. Eilhu Root, of the Senate Chamber, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: The members of the Frederick Douglass Center of Chicago, wish to thank you for your action in the Senate chamber, on the 10th in, in calling attention to certain threatened grave ill effects which would follow the popular election of members of the Senate in those states where the franchise has been restricted since the state legislature convening federal enactment and the plain instruction of the constitution itself. No words have expressed more wisely and temperately than your feelings of thoughtful and peaceful fellowship, where you say, "the people of the United States are willing to fold their hands and wish the southern people Godspeed in working out their delicate problem so long as they do so in kindness; but if there should be such oppression as to power of the United States to enforce the amendments that power will be exercised and it ought to be." However opinion may differ as to the best method of senatorial election no change should be adopted without a clear and express understanding that it shall not operate against the full political rights of any qualified citizen or class of citizens. You have made this understanding that aroused the public conscience in a way for which all lovers of justice will thank you. Yours very truly, S. LAING WILLIAMS Secretary. MANAGEMENT WHOLLY ABSOLVED OF CRITICISM Robert W. Hebbard Speaks Highly of Howard Orphan Asylum Absolute Creativeness of Institution Impresses Secretary of the State Board of Charities. Robert W. Hebbard, secretary of the State Board of Charities, was the principal speaker last Friday evening at the closing of the seventh annual fair in aid of the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum, Brooklyn. During his speech Mr Hebbard exonerated the institution and its management from all recent criticism, and made a strong appeal for funds, declaring that the institution was not receiving enough money to carry on its work. R. M. Whiting, president of the board of managers, introduced the speaker, after the Rev James H Gordon, the superintendent, had followed a chorus by the children of the institution with a brief speech. There was also a presentation of about twenty orphans who have outgrown the institution and are wage earners. These young men and women made a good showing and were generously applauded. Mr Hebbard said among other things: If he had not other enjoyment but hearing these children sing I should have been amply paid for my trip here to-night. The State Board at Albany feels a warm sympathy toward this and other similar institutions, as I do personally. Until philanthropic people, through hard fight, instituted the orphan asylum, the children had to be placed with paupers and others without proper environment. Institution Has to Do Too Much for Little Money Given. "The only trouble the institution has had is that it has to do too much for the little money given it. The Board of Charities has to pass on plans for institutions. We disapproved of the old plans and insisted on modern plans. The managers board said it hadn't money to meet the requirement, but we said go ahead, and they presented plans equal to those anywhere for any child, and on the cottage system. Now God smiled on this plan and a month later a white man gave the institution $25,000. Now the managers would like for you to do something for these children in your wills. "We came over one night in a body took the Brooklyn superintendent of inspection, called up the physician of the institution who accompanied us to the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum, without the knowledge of the managers, superintendent or anybody there, and we saw what we don't always see in the white institutions—absolute cleanliness with what we are for, we want to see that the children are cared for properly. We want them to be good careers good farmers and good mechanics. After careful investigation of finances and of the children, I believe the institution is doing a good and great work, but the motto of our state is 'Excelsior.'" When reports are made it is expected to be shown that the fair has been one of the most successful ever held, financially, as well as socially. Mrs James Williams, who for six years has been president, was presented with a handsome pillow purchased by the committee from the orphans table. MEET AT MERIDIAN. MISS.

TROUBLE IN ODD FELLOWS Past Grand Master's Council, No. 1, Compiled to Pay Out Money because of Bad Advice Given by Officers—Refusal to Pay $50 Death Benefit. There has just come to light the story of a controversy in the Past Grand Masters' Council, No. 1, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, of which W. David Brown is District Grand Master, which was finally settled in the local court, but only after it had cost the council a neat sum On June 13, 1910, Ivan Charles Davis, a member of the council, died, leaving his mother, Mrs. Sarah Davis, as the administratrix of his estate. Davis duly notified the members of the council of the death of her son and demanded payment of the $50 death benefit to which a financial member is entitled at death. For some reason the officers refused to pay the money, and Mrs. Davis, through her attorneys, Pavey & M&Oore, brought in the Municipal Court and received judgment for $60.90. Execution was issued and returned unsatisfied and an order for the examination of the judgment debtor was obtained from Justice Green of the City Court, and service was made on Howard V. Fry, treasurer of the Past Masters' Council. Arrested for Contempt of Court. Treasurer Fry did not appear for examination and an order was made by Justice McAvoy, ordering him to appear in court and show cause why an attachment should not be issued contempt notice. Mc Fry acquitted to appear and Justice McAvoy directed the sheriff to bring the treasurer into court for contempt, and made the following or der. 1 That the said Howard V. Fry is guilty of contempt of court in having wilfully disobeyed the orders made in this proceedings on the 9th day of December, 1910, and on the 11th day of December, 1910; and the said misconduct of said Howard V. Fry was calculated to and did defeat, impair and preclude the rights and remedies of the plaintiff and judgment creditor herein to her actual loss or injury in the sum of $10628, besides the costs of this motion that the said plaintiff and judgment debtor herein pay to Pavey and Moore, attorneys for the plaintiff and judgment creditor herein, on or before the 14th day of January, 1911, at noon of that day the sum of $10628, together with $10 costs of this motion, the 3rd upope of the fellows paid as the defended and judgment debtor to make such payment as herein ordered, said Howard V. Fry be committed by the Sheriff of the County of New York to the county fall of said county, to be there detained in close custody until said cost of $10628 be fully paid as above described he be discharged according to law, and that a warrant issue to execute the order On January 14 Mr Fry called at the office of Pavey & Moore and paid the $11628 It is said that Mr Fry, who is well thought of in the Odd Fellows, caused himself no little inconvenience by heeding the instructions of superior officers. The Davis funeral services were conducted by H. Adolph Howell, and it is charged that some of the officers of the council did not favor payment of the $50 death benefit for that reason.

Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5·CENTS EMBARRASSED BY APPLICANTS Heads of Different Departments Draw Color Line at Washington Negro Aspirants for Clerkship Often Informed They Must Be Proficient in Stenography,etc. Attempt Made to Adopt Photograph System During President Roosevelt's Administration Failed. Special to The New York Agn Washington, D. C., Feb. 21.—Owing to the high degree of efficiency shown by colored applicants who take the civil service examinations for positions in the governmental departments here, the heads of the various divisions are becoming more embarrassed each day, as they experience no little trouble in trying to draw the color line when it is generally known that it is the policy of Uncle Sam to make civil service appointments with merit as the chief requisite and irrespective of color or religion. Many chiefs of divisions who do not look with favor on the appointment of colored clerks, no matter how intelligent and efficient, have been guilty of ignoring the civil service commission rules completely. In the future all attempts at discrimination are to be placed before the President and the Cabinet officers for consideration. It is said that in but few instances is a member of the Cabinet aware of the drawing of the commission in the department of which he is head. The latest tip sent out by chiefs of divisions who are opposed to the appointment of colored jerks, is that all white applicants should learn shorthand and typewriting. While the civil service rules do not call for those requirements within the past few years many colored applicants who have successfully passed the examinations have been refused positions because they were not stenographers. What Happened to a Misaalainplan Instances can be cited in which young colored men and women have been notified of their appointment and summoned to Washington, but upon arriving have been informed by the chief of division that some mistake had been made, and that a clerk was wanted who could write shorthand and use a typewriter. A notable example of discrimination took place a little over two years ago when a young colored woman, whose home is in Mississippi, received word that she had been appointed to a clerkship in one of the departments at Washington, to the capital city to work, but when the chief of division saw that she was colored she was told that a mistake had been made. The young woman, quickly sizing up the situation, combated the idea that there had been a mistake in appointing her, but the chief of division refused to allow her to work, and she was compelled to return to her home in Mississippi. At that time Col. Theodore Roosevelt was President, and after making personal investigations he wrote a strong letter to the Cabinet officer who was at the head of the department and warned him not to permit his subordinates to discriminate on account of color. Theodore Roosevelt also proved a friend to Negroes who aspire to hold Federal positions under civil service by receiving recommendations of heads of divisions to adopt the photograph system now in force in the Philippines. Had this idea been approved by Mr. Roosevelt every applicant for a position would have been compelled to send in his photo. In several governmental departments the Nergro is almost as scarce as snow on a day in July. For years he has been persona non grata in the State Department. Neither he is smiled upon approvingly by the War Department. To see a member of the race in the Agricultural Division, the Forestry Division and in the Geological Survey Division would be so novel as to excite comment. The same can be said of the Department of Commerce and Labor. The two Interior Departments are the favored spots for Negro clerks. It is in the various divisions of these departments that they are detailed, and the two departments are made as conspicuous by the presence of Negroes as are the other departments by their absence. In the Record and Pension Division so many colored clerks are employed that the division has been named "Botany Bay." LARGE BUM FROM DOTGER ESTATE. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE.

Young man said "Friends, I am so glad I come here this afternoon I have been greatly pressed by this meeting and made to think as I have never thought to before. I am passed by this reason but I cannot say that I am. My father and mother worked hard to give me what might be considered a reward. I have been through all sorts of olds. But I am sorry to say that I have drifted. I have drifted by my education. I have drifted away from my religion. I have drifted away from the good teachings of my parents. I now wish I were better.

A very beautiful wretch was placed upon his coffin by the Sabbath School. His pastor Sabbath School teacher and many members of his class attended the funeral Mass. Amos, Farl Brooks, Russell Halesen and Everett Haleye were the pathogens. There have been over sixty funerals in Paterson since our colored undertaker has settled among us and out of large numbers only eight have been buried. A Christian gentleman, yet the spirit of the majority is to send for a white undertaker. It will be a long white before the race will be local to one another. Perhaps in our families there go into business and be able to understand why their own people refuse to patronize them. We who are in business now can't understand it. It is a great honor, so some think, to have undertaken. We hope it will be white undertakers. We hope it will be seen otherwise some day. Plainfield Notes. Blainfield, N.J.

TWO BISHOPS The Bishops of the several colored Methodist churches got together at Mobile the other day. In addition to many sermons and much talk of the proposed consolidation of the several bodies, a consummation of which we dare not sweetly hope, they fell to talking, as a matter of course, about public questions, with particular reference to the attitude of the leading white men to the Negro, and the status of the Negro at present, with respect to his political rights and the imagined place he holds in the affections of the major parties Bishop Walters, one day, according to the reports, spoke up and said he was a Democrat and glid of it, and that he gloried in the "division" of the Negro vote. The zeal formed Kentucky reckoned it his speech by the presence of new, not a younger, Richmond in the field. Bishop Elvis Cottrell who took a Normal College school by Varduman, and spotted it as a practical school for colored men and women, replied to Zion's political trumpet Free speech may be denied in the South, but it has never been denied to Bishop Turner in Georgia and Bishop Cottrell in Mississippi. Bishop Cottrell made it plain that he thought no Bishop, who understood the dignity and importance of his high office, and the influence exerted through his position, ought ever to debble in "gutter" politics, nor make sure for the edificien of the heelers. He was very certain that no Bishop could do that and hold the respect of the people, or fail, in the long run, to lose a crown to gain a palm. "I cannot see," Bishop Cottrill said, "how any man of the Negro race can glory in the ascendency of the Democratic party when every degradation heaped upon the Negro race has come through democratic machination." The good Bishop was sure that any colored man of light and leading, who had viewed with clear vision the political situation in the South, where the bulk of colored people reside, or in the North, for that matter, must be suffering something of a temporary abberation when he urges the Negro to kiss the hand that bore him to the ground. This was in Mobile, in the very heart of bourbon democracy. The speech was applauded by the colored people, of course, and not one word of conscience came from the white press of the city While the light holds out to burn the vilest sinner has a chance Bishop Walters the next morning admitted that pe.haps he had gone too far in his advocacy of the democratic party as the party of hope for the Negro He was only desirous, as he said, to bring about the defeat of Taft He missed the mark going and coming, and it took a brother Bishop to tell him of it Bishop Walters is too useful a man to go off half cooked so much, and if he wants to be useful in the future, he will quit the kind of politics in which he has been engaged WISE SUGGESTIONS The Rev Dr W H Brooks, pastor of St Mark's Church in this city, is what we might call a "progressive" with due respect to that charmless yet courted term. We direct particular attention to the following recommendations recently distributed among his congregation. Each of them is timely, but those touching upon funerals every member of St Mark's and every member of every other church in New York and elsewhere ought heartily to endorse and as rigorously stand by them. 1 If I were a member of St Mark's I would pattern to the undertakers of my own race. This I love. I love chapels and give excellent service. 2 If I were a member of St Mark's I would not select Sunday for the fun- eral of my friends if I could avoid it. It robs the horses drivers and under- takers of their rest It gives additional work to the pas- tor It attracts crowds of unsympathetic persons 3 If I were a member of St Mark's I would never kiss the dead in public or private It does the dead no good and may do the living great harm Manifest tenderness while living resignation when dead 4 If I were a member of St Mark's I would request all secret societies to conduct their services at the hamt and let the church service be distinctively a church service. It was a memoir of Mark I would take my "part out" of me conduct their services at the home site not to be forced through her to break in experience in the public anthering. 4 If I were a member of St Mark's I would buy my friends' identity respectively, but without unsemely display and excessive cost 7 If I were a member of St Mark's I would be ashamed to die and leave not enough means or insurance to buy me or a penny for those who love me 8 If I were a member of St Mark's I would notify the pastor of the date and hour before sending out any notices The Pastor may have two or three funerals the same day. 9. If I were a member of St Mark's I would try to be kind and helpful in life and calm and peaceful in death. Dr Brooks does a service not only for his own church, but for the people and particularly for his brother ministers in this city, who have all long felt as he feels about these matters, but have not deemed it wise to speak out. If we can effect any of the reforms in the conduct of funerals advocated by Dr Brooks, we shall have a needed revolution in the life of the people of Greater New York. Sunday funerals should be done away with. INCREASE OF PREJUDICE. In a recent address in Boston, Dr DuBois said in effect that race prejudice had increased during the last ten years in northern cities. Ten years must about marks the period during which certain colored people, especially in Boston, have been leading a radical and insane crusade of agitation. If such agitation as has been going on, led by a little clique of people in northern cities during the last ten years, has my intrusion in the agitation ought to have been in decreasing race prejudice, or than increasing it, as Dr DuBois says. The wise physician when I find the kind of medicine he is patients makes them worse, instead of better changes his prescription and gives another kind of medicine. If this prejudice is growing by not the kind of medicine that the racial agitators have been, being why not change the medicine and prescribe something that would crease prejudice? The fact is a grievous mistake has been made in certain northwestern in the direction of the much more agitation. If people get in a meaning and tend to their new purpose, some race meeting has been being attention to the fact that the Negro race has been made an exception to the different from other races, the people will often while make up their mind, because if this advertising of racial discrimination that the Negro race should be treated differently from all other races. Why not, in a city like Boston, for example, let the colored people understand that they are to go on and live their lives just as other people without being continually held off by the public. For example, Miss Mrs Riddle is the principal in Combridge, Miss Riddle is a local resident of Miss Riddle and her race is not widely discussed in the newspaper Boston being a part of a great problem as being discriminated against because of her race unnaturously Miss Riddle assists teachers and her pupils and the parents of those pupils will begin to make up their minds that they prefer someone to teach their children who is not a problem, someone who does not represent a race that is continuously persecuted. This is the kind of thing that hurts in Boston and everywhere. On the other hand if a woman like Miss Riddle is let alone is permitted to go on quietly doing her work, demonstrating that she is a "human being and not a "problem," other members of our race will be permitted to pursue the same content but so long as every Negro in Boston and in other large cities is subjected in the newspapers as being a "problem," as being connected with some outrage, some agitation, so long will race prejudice increase. While race prejudice may increase, so far as the general masses of the people are concerned, they are getting no benefit by reason of this agitation. Do you offend There are a few leaders who hold meetings, take up collections, publish newspapers, and make their living out of this agitation, but the rank and file of our people are paying a terribly high in order to put money into the pockets of these agitators, who are nobody's interest at heart, as a consent their own. the general thought that all things have an end, and this is the reason for hoping that Brother John Mitchell will attend to the American Bankers' meeting on the new will at the end. There is the further consolation however, that if these descriptions are not very soon it will be time of Brother Mitchell to attend the next meeting at the Bankers' Association and the count of one trip will run into the other. We would suggest to Brother Mitchell that it would not be a bad plan for him to take a few extra days off next summer and attend a meeting of the Negro Bankers' Association as well as that of the American Bankers. It is our opinion that the bulk of the money which finds its way to the vaults of Brother Mitchell's bank comes from black folks. "CONFLICT OF COLOUR." Mr B. L. Putnam Weale, who designates his residence as Pekin, China, has written quite an ambitious book under the title, "The Conflict of Colour." This book is published by Macmillan & Co. There is much that is interesting and readable in this book. Mr Weale has evidently traveled much Our present purpose, however, is to deal with the book only insolar as it concerns the Negro Mr Weale, in common with many other writers, is careful to place the Negro at the bottom in the scale of civilization. He not only places the Negro at the bottom but insists that he must stay there. Throughout the book there is a lack of judicial temperament when discussing the black race. Mr Weale plainly shows that he himself has a most deep-seated color prejudice, and this within itself robs the book of much value. For a person to write books that will live and influence the world, he must first of all show himself to be without prejudice. Aside from this, Mr Weale contradicts him in his claim, the black race. For example, it constantly insists that the black race is hopelessly weak has no chance to rise, not be a seit covermnt race. A view pages further on Mr Weale asserts that the black race must be kept at its best, must be kept in a safe, not place, or cause it will overpower and rule the white race. This is not land and is insistent. Again Mr Woolle insists that there is a need to be black with white face wr for all in faces Now it is purpose it s to be of the must be all time pre wr for all Mr Woolle in been in his hands two faces should be very true kept equal to the most se- sure face It Nature will be in faces, wr is or make 'wr or rate? In the United States, the most vital characteristic of the lives in which it exists is the belief in America is the fellow bearing upon the cultivation of the land and the peace we wish it to be read and recold and digested by every Negro in the United States because it contains the whole philosophy of which our race is to rise an main- tain itself in this as well as in other countries. "Agriculture—the tithing of the soil— is not only the whole real title to a soil, but the only means of permanently hold- ing it. Thus if the Red Indians had a culture from the first Eur- from the first Laws from and other South of the United States examined by puritarians for them. That is it said not. What it is may be to look that we do not command them with the pos accepted devise, if we was in puri prope through the United States, in the with themselves with its teaching and put them into daily practice. AMORY H BRADFORD He late Aunt H. Brothord was more than a great preacher—he was one of the most useful man in the country wife of a very useful man pastor of a very useful man congregational clerk of a very useful man and the pulpit he made time. He left reverence outspoken against every social and labor tab, the very attack the defamatory of our legislatures and prosecutions. He was, however, necessarily in his stand for the rights and brotherhood of man. Every colored man who embarks in a business and gives employment to colored men and women is a public benefactor as much so as the man who establishes a school or hospital. His race owes him a debt of gratitude. Indianapoll Plaindealer Often it owes him debts other than one of gratitude. Usually it pays him neither. The failure of the race segregation ordinance in Baltimore to endure the security of even the local courts was due to technical defects which the supporters of segregation expect to remedy by the aid of skilful lawyers. The more fundamental constitutional objections to such a measure remain to be tested when the renovated ordinance reaches the statute book. In all probability the question whether, in the exercise of its police powers a municipality may decree in effect that whites shall live in one section and Negroes in another, or rather if Negroes cannot—this question will ultimately have to be deceived. If it is ever finally decided at all, by the United States supreme court—Springfield Republican. Does the Republican really believe that the Supreme Court will have to be annoyed by this contention? Is there no lower court of power and discernment enough to crush it? When the Supreme Court gets through with segregation, if it is compelled to pass upon it, it will be naked to the winds.

New York No. 4 Annotate the matter of observation observing the world around the Negro Founder with regard to offer a few observations. It will soon be fifty years after have been given it to the world. He was turned loose with a writing and had to take his way through the world an best he could greatly benefit in the begin- ning. Being there on his own in source, thus entirely prepared to take proper care of himself and his depend- ents he was greatly harmed, through poverty tack of education and training, and con- dence in himself and his peers and being compelled to cope with the other man who has had centuries of education and experience, superior environments and unlimited wealth, he has made countless features in his struggle, in his effort to compete, but antithetic and against all of his set backs, the actual, tougher progress he has made is something marvelous to behold. He has done nearly the impossible thing, i.e., he has learned through hard experience to support and educate himself and to support and educate his children on very meagre allowances. To accomplish which he had to do more work and better work and work longer hours and for less pay than the other fellow, he has had to give greater assistance for the compensation that any other man. We all know that the things done by the Negro that are commendable and to his credit are not generally heeded to the world by the press and public speakers. The true number of polithoptroph people and institutions have added somewhat in giving him a limited schooling and industrial training, for all of which we are very grateful, but that puts it all the more up to us as a race to show the world and those that aided us some tangible results of the effect of our self-culture of education and citizenship. The most effective way the way that will practically pay for itself in accomplishing this purpose—is to have a real, physical exertion of the brain work and handwork of the Negro. In scope it should take in every phase of endeavor that is to our credit. This can be done in two years time. We should not except the National Government to make another exhibit in the museum of the Negro, for indulged the governors seems saliable about own protecting the Negro in his guarantied rights just at this time. If the Negro will of his own contribution put forth (every) effort to produce a condition exhibit of his own resourcefulness and achievements, the government should be encouraged and will aid materially by a financial appropriation towards the need of the value. the N.

Such a venue successfully accommodates the strongest and most compelling argument for the permanent display. It is the duty of the public to instill in aspiration and dedication in the race, and maze out so friendly for us among the white tribes of whom will go there, by precept of our curiosity. We now have a solid opportunity to demonstrate the unity to the fact of our substantial work in development. Let us be up and doing and no longer remain asleep at the white. Aurora L.

Sidney H. was from a company that was the first to come to the final war with the United States. We are our match less. We are our prince of the trifecta. We are the trifecta that was redeemed by Henrys and that and by his husband. We are not led to the broth- erhood of man. ```markdown ``` the world is inhabited by only the only interested continuation of this continent to the rolls required for this to not die. And yet he was just a simple man who knew that made all men and when the light he alone was not who loved all men alike. Many books have been written on Lincoln. Piled one on the other these books would make a mountain ever so high, but they are not as precious as the pebble lying at the mountain's foot. In these books are heavy words that tell from learned pens, but they do not tell the simple story of his life, nor do they say that this nation must die away unless that government of the people, of all the people everywhere, for which Lincoln freely gave his life, comes in truth and not in phrase. If Lincoln could come among us tonight; if he could come and speak, he would say, tear up your books, allure your orators, destroy your poetry or praise, and hush the song upon your lips, and write this as the record of my life. Abraham Lincoln—he made men free. I count Lincoln the star witness against the spirit of power and blood and money that has made of us a nation of dollar-chasers and money-changers, gluttonous of pomp and ragged titles. If our hero had sent in his card to a mansion of the wealthy one year before he came out of the west sealed to do freedom's work, he would have been denied admission. Many of his countrymen who count themselves learned and who call themselves cultivated, think Lincoln a semi-Christ and they name him as a sign of intelligence. They do not know that he is the type of the world-democracy before which race, color and wealth must give way, according to the line of march that Progress struck when Mary's manger-boy aroused. Thought from a slumber of centuries, put on it the uniform of Revelation and commissioned it captain-general of His moving forces. My rise in the life of slavery with nother. It had no past with which it had a definite acquaintance and no future to which it could in confidence look or move. You told us to get education. We hand in the records showing that, without one dollar old from Washington we have reduced our filiteracy by 25 per cent. You told us to emrace the Christian religion. One third of my race are on the rolls of the Christian church and on our mourn purse we have invested $35,000,000 in church property. You told us to get wealth and we must get it through paying taxes on $10,000,000 in taxes. You told us to try the fields of trade and commerce. We have $5,000,000 in imports. You told us to try the foxes. We have a list of dams and lawmen. You told us to try the our history could be when Crisis Attacks was first to take the order of old Sam Mills and def the British Invasor. You told us to try the ways of Peace. We were to see that in the Soil, the black and white are learning to soil, the white is learning to be God planted. We present a mindful self-discovery and a mindful community rising from the ashes of war. Whenever you have sent us we have once whether to the fields of cotton and corn to the force or to the battle field to fight for the only flag we have ever known. Whatever you have told us to do we have done with simple and kindly faith. Now in the spirit of Lincoln come and I will overthrow him-crowds come and lift the lid of disfriability come and relieve us from an intimidation too often visited upon us in the South whose bosom God chooses and prepared as a home for mine and that shall come after them. If he in could speak to you tonight I dress not the weak nor the pressed by thoughtless hands. I stood on the base of Gettysburg the waters of the Hudson. Contemplating the wonderful sword of the world's greatest sword I heard the prophecy. An hundred years hence all men upon this continent shall be free. Truth shall both be naked and Liberty shall be guarded. I heard the hymn of Long-fellow act to the music of broken ears. We have not alarms we cannot声. But we have feet to scale and climb. We have success by more and more. While here Mr. Siemens by the Lincoln N. A. Pulatine Hotel The Wall Street Journal's Appeal Considered by Pastor Russell. BISHOP CANDLER FREELY QUOTED. Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 10. — Pastor Russell of Brooklyn Taberuacle gave two interesting discourses here today to large and appreciative audiences. We report one of these from PASTOR RUSSELL Pittsburg, Pa. Feb. 10. — Pastor Russell of Brooklyn Taberuach gave two interesting discourses here today to large and appreciative audiences. We report one of these from the text. "Righteousness Exalitha a Nation. But Sin is a Reproach to any People" (Proverbs xiv, 34). The speak we said - Many besides myself surely were astonished to read the following extract from the Wall Street Journal, under the caption, "What America Needs." "What America needs more than railway extension and western irrigation, and a bigger wheat crop, and a merchant marine, and a new navy, is a revival of pltery, the kind father and mother used to have-plety that counted it good business to stop for daily fruity prayers before breakfast, right in the middle of harvest, that quit field work a half hour earlier Thursday night, so as to get the chores done and go to prayer meeting. That's what we need how to count the country of litch, of graft, and of greed, petty and big of witchy, of fine houses and big hats and high office and grand social fun-ons. This reached the eye of Bishop Cancler whose contract is so appropriate that I cannot do better than quote it here — This editor is right in calling us back to more curious forms of life than all these things involved. He wants religion to the home, he calls for lives of prayer, he loves that we need the most earnest type of religion to save the country from moral wreck. And he is right. But can we get that sort of religion, or the spur of the motive to which he appeals? Hardly "We cannot get a revival of religion by seeking a revival of religion. Now where in God's Word are men admonished to seek religion or to seek a revival of religion. They are always urged to seek God. All the revivals of religion which have blessed the world in the history of the past have come when men have undertaken to seek God. None have ever come oth'r weise. We cannot dofy even a revival of religion; God must be the supreme object of our love and desire "Men Called Preachers Have Explained Away the Word of God" "Herein our trouble, we have lost God. Men called preachers have explained away the Word of God making it no longer a sure form of prophecy but an antique for the critics to analyze and discuss. The moral law has been lowered. The ten commandments have been reckoned as a piece of Mosas plagiarism applicable to the moral needs of ancient nomads in the wilderness, but have no more than a qualified bearing on the life of today. The sermon on the Mount has been created as "An idoless dream." The Lordship of Jesus Christ has been denied while treacherous compliments have been poured out upon his name, as that of a great teacher and a noble martyr. His teachings have been denied or set aside wherever they have stood in the way of a rampant worldliness or an insurgent rationalism. The outcome of all it is that multiplied thousands have lost all knowledge of God in their souls. To all intents and purposes God is dead to them. They take no account of His will in any of their plans and doings, but like as if there were no God. They are atheists without taking the trouble to declare formally the atheism which they have inwardly accepted. "The people must now be called to seek God. He is an real, living Person and He will the found of those who sin are's and Him But He must be song" as the same need of the line. He must be sought for His He will not be found of me and God.

"Then indeed we shall find Him, when our hearts past for Him, as the hard pants after the water breaks." Difficulties in the Way, Says Paster Runwell. The words of the Wall Street Journal respecting the need of the old-time religion are along proper lines. The Bishop sees clearly what I also have so frequently pointed out, namely, that the so-called New Theology, Higher Criticism and Evolution theory have so undermined faith that it would be fully to look for a return of the plains earnestness of the past, which was built upon a living faith, even though it was not the pure faith "once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 2). We do not admit that none today are pious; that none are圣 Paul styled "sanctified in Christ Jesus" (I Corinthians 1, 2). We claim that there are as honest, as upright, as loyal children of God today as ever lived in the world. But they are few. The vast majority, under the false teaching mentioned by the Bishop, have utterly left the "faith once delivered to the saints." The great majority of professed Christians are drifting. Long ago they gave up the creeds of the "dark ages," and, believing that the Bible taught the same things as the creeds, it also is being abandoned as too absurd for present-day intelligence. Higher Criticism (another name for infidelity and opposition to the Bible), Evolution, Christian Science, Theosophy and Atheism have swallowed up the majority of the intellectuals of the Churches, and the mediocre masses are rapidly following them into the outer darkness of unbelief and godlessness. It is impossible for an honest man who has lost his faith in God, and in the Bible as the Word of God, to take a real heart interest in prayer meetings, in Bible study and in attempted holy living. He finds nothing substantial for his faith to rest upon. He comes to be a harpist. Hence the old time religious life is not to be generally expected. Modern Revikala Unsatisfactory. Modern virtual methods (Gangy talk, clownish actions and a protense that rising to one feet in a public assembly means Christian reformation and spirit beating) is too foolish for thinking people of the class represented by the Editor of the Wall Street Journal. It is not forced to say that absolutely nothing is accomplished, and that all fall away who, under excitement, stand up to be prayed for, or to indicate that they prefer to spend eternity in bliss rather than in torture. We do, however, mean to say that such persons are bewildered. If no worse, and a year after, we fear, are as bad or worse than the year before. This is because they are not really converted — because they have no real foundation for faith given them, and have no faith to put upon such a foundation. They are not even what St. Paul styles "Babes in Christ" (I Corinthians ill. 1), for only the spirit-begotten belong to that class. What Is Really Needed. The revival really needed should not be looked for nor expected amongst worldly people. They have nothing of Christianity to serve. It should begin with Christians who have not yet lost all their faith in God and in the Bible. These should be come awakened to the fact that spirituality and faith are at a low ebb. Their passers should ascend to God and their Bibles should be studied as soon as before. They should make use of present helps in their Bible study and become a servant and revitalized of spirit through a better understanding of the Scriptures. They must see that the Bible was not properly represented in the creeds of the past that it is in direct opposition to many of the deities of the past which have now become repulsive to intelligent minds. When one then get the proper focus on God's Word, one passage illuminating another their faith in God and in the Bible will become a living one a moving one, and, with this spirit, faith and works will come-Christian zeal, fervency of spirit in the service of the Lord. With these in turn will come activities in helping one another activities in family worship, in Bible classes, in prayer and testimony meetings, etc. Then, as the Master said, they will let their light shine and the worldly will see and be influenced by these living epistles, known and read of all [1] Corinthians (l. 2). Most Important Points. It is useless for any to attempt to believe, or to attempt to teach others that God is great and just, and loving while at the same time teaching that He prepared before the foundation of the word an immense torture chamber in which thousands of millions would be forced to spend eternity. How our forfathers could be here this and yet believe somehow or other that God is love we do not understand. It is their faith in God's Love and their faith in eternal torment, which constituted the power of God working in them for good and which offered the errors of their creeds to a greater degree. But no one of today who let us awake can any longer think of working in a God inferior to himself. A God unjust and unhappy or not good and powerful can no longer be worshiped in spirit and in Truth. What the world needs, and what first of all the hard needs is to be delivered straight in respect to the Almighty she her for and in her petals His purposes for His human creatures. As soon as that condition of mind shall have been reached there will be no need to pray or ask for revivals of religion they will follow irresistably. But what do we see opposing such desirable denouncement? We see correspondence that is sent to the office written on both sides of the paper will not be printed.—Md. two hundred thousand Protestant institutions and Sunday-School superstores working against such desirable people. We are about two-thirds of them advocating Higher Criticism Insufficiency and one-third of them striving to hold the people in ignorance respecting the teachings of the Bible concerning man's future-seeking, by inference at least, to uphold the atrocious decree of devils foisted upon God's people by the great Adversary during the "dark agen." It is a and picture. Has it a silver lining? The Cloud's Silver Lining. There are still a solitary few in the world who are not bowing their knee to Baal, not worshiping the golden calf of manmen, not wandering, not seeking to prove that they are descendants of monkeys, not seeking to figure God out of creation and to say that nature is God. In this time, when others are going into outer darkness, these children of God, feeding upon His Word, are being blessed and refreshed in spirit as never before. To them God's Word is shining more brightly as the days go by; the rough places are becoming smooth and the dark places clear. To them the glory of the Divine character is being revealed. The secret of the Lord is with them. He is showing them His Covenant and making them to understand many of the deep things of His Word, which the natural eye has not seen, nor the natural ear heard, neither have these things entered into the heart of the natural man-things which he hath in reservation for them that love him. These are now seeing that the Kingdom for which He taught us to pray is not a myth; these are seeing that it did not come at Pentecost, nor when Papacy was established, nor with the establishment of any of the sects of Christendom. Consequently they are now praying from the heart. "Thy Kingdom come," and waiting for the glorious Messiah, promised to begin His great work of blessing natural Israel and through all the families of the earth (Acts xv, 14-17; Acts iii, 19-23) These see that the Kingdom of God's dear Son is to be one of "power and great glory"; that before it, in a time of trouble, every other religion and influence will crumble to dust; that Satan shall be bound and for a thousand years the most blessed influences favorable to righteousness will be brought to bear upon mankind. Church and World Standards During the "dark ages" the fact that the Church is a specially called, chosen, faithful class (and only a "little flock"), was seen and preached to some extent. But this lofty Church standard was difficult of application to the world, and the world's hope, under a different standard, was not seen. It clarifies our minds greatly when we recognize that the elect few are intended by God to be the world's instructors and helpers by and by, when the world will be granted an opportunity of rescue from sin and death—not to heavenly conditions, but to earthly Restitution of all that was lost by Adam's transgression and Redeemed by the Great Sacrifice of Calvary (John III, 16; Isaiah xxxv). After learning that the bell to which the world goes in death is the grave, and that it is an unconscious condition, a "sleep," the next lesson is the resurrection of the dead—"Many that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, * * * some to shame and lasting contempt" (Daniel xl. 21; Mankind fall asleep with experiences only with unrighteousness and very indistinct glimpses of holiness and saintship. When awakened they will recognize the glory, honor and immortality of the saintly Bride of Christ and be recipients of her loving care and blessing, in proportion as they respond to the blessed privileges of that title. As the Restitution work will progress, and they obediently rise from their degradation, their shame and contempt will gradually disappear, and eventually perfection of human nature may be attained in an earth also attaining perfection, as the Garden of the Lord. Error Losing Its Power Intelligent people no longer believe the God-disbomoring doctrine of eternal torture, nor even the doctrine of purgatorial suffering. Having lost these, they are doubting every glorious teaching. What they need to see is the Bible's presentations. They should see the "high calling" now extended to the faithful, saliently few and should sit down and count the cost before undertaking so great a contract as to become members of that Royal Priesthood If they do not accept this, the only call now extended they should have in mind that there is a general Law of Retribution operating expressed in the terms, "Whatever a man soweth that shall be also reap." They should understand clearly that every thought and word and act of them will have to do with their future conduct and affect them more or less favorably in the resurrection when Messiah is king dom will provide to every man a full gracious opportunity of Resistance to human perfession in a world wide Eden. To the Kingdoms of M.iah behone the promise "That righteousness will all the nation. His will be a reign of righteousness and to Dale direction will have control of the whole world for the uphold of all mankind and deemed by the previous blood of Calvary. At present in every kingdom under heaven we are reminded the latter part of our text. So is a grace to any people to the whole world. Let us accept the direction of God's Word and set our faces toward righteousness with greater goal than ever to attain divine favor either by the "high or long" of this present time or by the blessed Restitution times soon to be ushered in (Acts III. 19-28). ATKINS' HOUSES HORMETS NEST (Continued from Page 11) refuse to transact any business whatever unless that same officer referred to was present, and received the funds or transacted the business. Sometimes stockholders carried their money back because of the absence of or inability of this officer to interview them, when the company was within the very throes of financial panic. Even the writer of this article is guilty to some extent for this oversight, for in all his long connection with the company he has made reports to only two officers in that entire time. That those stockholders guilty of the conduct described above had more confidence in the frailty of men than in the stability of the company is almost irresistible. Failure Not a Detriment But an Advantage. "I am unwilling to allow myself to be persuaded to believe that the failure of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company was a calamity, if not irreparable loss both to the confidence of the Negroes in each other's capacity, honesty and initiative to do business, nor to their inability to do so because of the depletion of their means. None of these ideas are consistent with the facts in the case. The failure of the company was not a detriment but an advantage to the race in this city, the North, and throughout the entire country. The failure of the company is a warning to Negroes on the one hand (not to desist co-operating and combining their forces for mutual uplift, or concluding all Negroes as dishonest and incapable; for they who preach such heresy are the real foes of the race to be avoided), and an inducement to them on the other—that if they would succeed in business this must follow the same paths in those successful in business have traveled safely. The Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company did not do this. The future of the company then was natural in the ordinary course of things, and especially in the light of the conditions encountered above. It is a repetition of what would have happened to any other company so conceived and operated. Any company And it had rocked fellows in mind so well located and so well managed as was the Metropolitan Mercantile and Royal company would accept to the termination of its company. In view of this intelligence then, the future of the company is, in a treacherous local to avoid the cost to be avoided in the process of building and maintaining it, is not entirely binding and warning delicateness with this inception from its petert. This when sent to the remain we will in new standard. Why begin in the future of the Metropolitan? What does anyone hope to gain by undyne's migrating the future of the company? Norries will not design done business, organizing operations, confining in each other and combining their forces for the mutual welfare, but they will do so more thoughtfully, substantially and more largely to the welfare of all will not be subordinated to the selfish aggrandizement of a few." Dennis Says He Has No Axe to Grind. H. H Dennis, in reply to the declaration of J. H. Atkins that he (Dennis) has an axe to grind, makes the following statement: "The gentleman claims that some of the directors are dodging the issue that awaits them by the public, while he is collecting the truth. I can conscientiously say that the Atkins." precedented he when he said that I did argue the company $500 for a long time that he asked me to try. I did it story of it is as follows. Mr Atkins sent P E J Jones a place of business to ask me if I would save the stockholders for him and so would I go and see Atkins. This being the first time since he was in the company that he allowed me to see him without delay. He first asked me it would serve the dinner for him. I asked what would the dinner be, he said it is to be served to the stockholders at $1 a plate so he might raise money enough to give Mr. Jones to run the paper that he would then send him how much guarantee he would give me and he said eight hundred. I said I would seize it for twenty cents a plate, giving you six courses. He readily accepted and said that thirty cents of that could go to Mr. Jones for the paper. The agreement was all arranged and the day before service he sent L. C. Collins asking me if I would not cut the number from eight hundred to four hundred. Now as I had prepared for the eight hundred it was impossible for me to charge it at that late hour, and I so informed him. On the said date I served four hundred and seventy-five, who paid the fee of one dollar a plate, and Mr. Atkins was there in the box office and received and carried away the money. He did not do like my business man would have done by paying me at once either in full or on account, but kept me coming in five days before, because I had been through the assistance of Mrs. L. Hains, one of the agents who watched around until 9 o'clock p.m. when he sneaked out of his office to elude us and on the following day he used a clock for $500, which I thought was all right. On taking the chick to the Riverlea Bank I could that it was issued on un-lected chicks, this I waited four days until the money was collected by the bank. When I received the chick from Mr Atkins I gave Mrs Harson $5 as a gift to the company, for which I hold a receipt. Now if there are any 'grinders' I think Mr Atkins was the one that ground $2 of the chicklings' money for a dinner that took place in events centres. Please Mr Atkins explain how who picked it. Now if I am going down I shall grind the chicklings into flour. Minister Enters Controversy Rex J. C. Lowe of Montclair, N.J. Mr Atkins follows. Linda Akim, the architect of this house, told us that for Mr. Landis, he has leased the money of Metropolitan Manor and Realty Company very carefully. He states that I come to the company with a plan and asked them to build a house for me. The truth is they are an agent to me in the person of Mr. Wood and pleaded with me to allow them to build a house for me. Mr. Williams, the architect of the company, drew up the plans and specifications and stated the price for which they would build.

On the day I signed my contract with them I had my lawyer go with me to their office in New York spent a half day for them to complete our contract. My lawyer examined the contract and had some changes made that my interest might be protected as well as the interest of the company. You see I could not trust my money entirely with these honorable gentlemen, without the advice of my own lawyer. Atkins states after they had started to work on the house that the company found itself in a hole to the amount of $1,250. This shows them up to be a splendid set of business men. They climbed at that time a loss of $1,000. Mykle the $250 is interst that he has added on since that time. They came to me and asked me to pay this $1,000 over and above what they had contracted the building for. This I refused to do, but paid the company every dollar that I had agreed in my contract to pay. I have never had any proof of actual loss of the putting up of my building. This statement on the part of Atkins is, in an apology for $1,250 of the company's money that went through the same rate that the rest of the $141,936 of the company's money has gone through. In reference to my villions speech in the meeting held in Newark, Atkins was present to a war for he's left and was forced by me to answer to the rockholder he had never on wired before. Why did not Mr. Atkins make his changes then of my home's idol of the pen I will answer because he is in the other side were to be in the exterior for him. I have told him I was. I'm to be in my own place. I'm a town man who can't get a time to what I like to attempt to do. His time is my own time with him. Now I'm not doing the task. I'm not doing the job I'm.

Maintenance费 MRD. 11 JOHNSON Properties MUSIC AND THE STAGE --- 6 THEATRICAL COMMENT LAST week the management of the Court Theatre, Brooklyn, gave notice to the public that the policy of the house had been changed, and that in the future the theatre would be the home of vaudeville and motion pictures. The information advanced did not occasion much of a flurry in theatrical circles over in Brooklyn, being regarded merely as an incident in the meteoric career of the motion-picture business, which has had a marvelous growth in recent years—so much so that the entire theatrical map has undergone a decided change by its invasion. It is doubtful if there are many playwrights in Manhattan who are aware of the change of policy inaugurated by the managers of the Court Street Theatre, and even so, they do not attach significance to the announcement. And the desertion by the Court Theatre of musical comedy and drama for vaudeville and motion pictures means a great deal to one branch of the show business—the colored musical shows. Last of Popular-Priced Houses. Last of Popular-Prize Titles For the past two seasons the Court Theatre has been the one bright and particular spot for colored shows. It has been the oasis of the local theatrical desert and the only popular-pur- fished financial encouragement to college players. True there is one know in Brooklyn—the Amphon Theatre, but neither the manager of a colored show nor the performers ever look forward to an engagement at this establishment with joy—unconcealed or otherwise. They claim it is like camp- out. And then the New York play- gems do not relish making the trip over to this part of Williamsburg, for they are it is skim to taking an excursion. Three or four seasons ago the theatrical map was dotted here and there with popular-priced theatres which were havens for colored productions. There were the American Theatre, now the American Music Hall, where vaudeville thrives; the Fourteenth Street Theatre, now a vaudeville and motion picture house, and the Yorkville and Metropolis Theatres, which also provide entertainment of the vaudeville and motion-picture brand. Then some of the colored were booked as the West End Theatre, a Broadway house, while the West End and the Grand Opera House were available. To-day the Majestic and West End Theatres are managed by the Shuberts for their attractions, and Cohan and Harris are booking Broadway productions in the Grand Opera House. Change Wrought by Motion Picture Craze. In Brooklyn the Majestic Theatre played colored attractions, but now it is under the control of the Suberts. The Folly Theatre, another good popular-priced theatre, has entered the ranks of the motion-picture business. Now, the Court Theatre has become inoculated with the motion-picture germ. So, as the situation stands at this writing, Greater New York does not furnish a single theatre of any consequence to colored productions that aspire to play a profitable engagement in the great Metropolis. The familiar cry of drawing the color line cannot be justly used in this instance. The trouble is that the craze for motion pictures has almost put the popular-priced theatres out of business. As colored shows were not generally considered Broadway attractions, their era of opportunity and good times began to wane with the decline of the popular-priced houses. In many other cities a similar situation exists. That is the reason Bert Williams judiciously joined a white Broadway show, and early last season Cole and Johnson, see- ing the hand writing on the wall, con- cluded not to take out a production. The situation is truly a trying one for colored shows. As a result from the Von Tilzer Company, The Ace is in receipt of the following letter from the Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Company which explains itself: To the Dramatic Editor of The Age The article in your paper of November 9, with reference to the Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Company was brought to their notio- The writer wishes to state that the whole article is not only an injustice to the Harry Von Tilzer and all the colored writers and performers. The man who was instrumental in having the article printed owe to a great extent, his present work, and his work with the Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Company. He found plenty of encouragement here during the twelve months that this company was established. We believe, as a paper catering to the colored people, you wish your readers to know the truth, and do not want to have them labor under the same conditions that the labor been conveyed to them by a lowing personal prejudice to interfere with his better judgment. * * If you will consult the representative performers and writers of your race, I believe you will easily be convinced yourself that they have never lacked courteous treatment in the establishment of Harry Von Tilzer We are writing you this letter not because we are soliciting favors from anyone, but because, as stated above, we believe that they been an injustice done your paper. The writer * * * will be pleased to hear from you Yours very truly, Harry Von Tilzer Musio Pub Co. per William Von Tilzer Me Desire of Paper to Do Firm An Injustice. As the article published in a recent issue of The Ace with reference to alleged discrimination on account of color was written on the ground that an insurer also being done the colored par- formers by some of the music publishers, it would, therefore, be inconsistent on the part of this paper to knowingly commit an act of injustice I am glad to learn that the Harry Von Tilzer Publishing Company always treats colored performers and musicians courteously, and hope it will give the letter written by Mr Von Tilzer consideration. In the future, however, it would relieve the heads of the firm from lots of embarrassment if they would instruct their employees to use more discretion when they lose their temper on the color question, for as I fail to find any denial in the letter that Max Winslow, an employee, did not say to Will Marion Cook "too many spades" entered the office. That Mr. Winslow "lost his head" and blurted out something which he did not mean, thereby creating a situation which has caused him deep regret.

I regret very much to leave our mascot in New York, "Miss Spare Riba", but she would not sign her new contract. I wonder of the boys of the company will ever forget the Goldfield Hotel Well.

SUPPRESS CLANSMAN IN IOWA. After a long and persistent fight that has lasted for almost three years, the Negro citizens of Des Moines, Ia., have finally succeeded in suppressing the production of Thomas Dixon's obnoxious play, "The Clanman." The fight started about three years ago when the play was first advertised to appear in Des Moines on March 12, 1907, when a committee was appointed by the local Afro-American Council to wait upon the release of the play. The mayor failed to find any ordinance of the city under which it could be suppressed, but expressed his willingness to act had he the authority. Unwilling to be daunted by so filmy an excuse, the committee consulted Attorney S. Joe Brown, at that time assistant legal director of the National Afro-American Council, who resides in Des Moines. He quickly declared that he could in a very few minutes draft an ordinance under which the play could be suppressed, provided they could get the council to pass it, so the ornance was drawn and such pressure brought to bear upon the council that they were forced to pass it on March 4. The mayor for some reason delayed the publication of it until March 16, four days after the play had come and gone. However, "The Clansman" was never again advertised to play in Des Moines until a few weeks ago, when it was announced to appear at the Princess Theatre for one week, commencing March 5. However, the wide-awake Negro citizens of the Iowa capital again consulted their attorney, and were advised that the ordinance which he had drawn three years previous was still in force, and the attention of the superintendent of the Department of Public Safety was called to it, as Des Moines had now gone under the commission form of government, and when the official seemed dilatory about dohg his duty, the assistant commissioner and resolutions were secured from practically every Negro and also a number of white organizations in the city, and so much unfavorable sentiment created that the managers of the theatre announced to a committee of prominent colored citizens that the engagement of the company had been canceled, although the management was compelled to forfeit $1,000 IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Howard Defeats All Stars. Washington Tuesday evening at True Reformers Hall, the How- ard University basketball team got even with the All Stars of New York for the beating the Manhattanites gave the university quint in New York in a contest which resulted in a 69 to 14 score. True Reformers Hall was crowded with basketball enthusiasts, who saw a game that was fast and furious throughout. The All Stars beat the home boys to the first score. That hit was good. Wiggins received a blow in the eye in the early port of the first half, but after a few minutes was back in the game. Gil- more, Oliver and Gray featured in this half, while Wiggins, Scottron and Trifo split honors for the visitors. The game was full of fouls, but Hutty Ollie was the winner. Horford the half ended in 16 to 7 for Horford. The Washington boys started the second half in a run-a-way style, scoring 25 points before the visitors could realize what had happened. Wigzins made ten play for the All Stars after twelve minutes of play. Gilmore was easily the star during the half while Hutty and Nixon followed close behind. Four of the home boys made about the same number of goals, but the All Stars themselves to a large or a small court, but the All Stars were at a decided disadvantage on account of the size of the court. Howard's victory should be followed by greatest heights in small games. 60 season between colored quintas, since both teams have won a game and the tie will most likely be played off in New York in the near future. Bradford, the fast center on the visitors' team, scored a career ACC team, and his absence affected the work of his team greatly, but would hardly have brought victory. **Line-up and Summary.** **Howard.** Position.

The principal event of the evening was the match between the New York Girls and the Spartans of Brooklyn, in which the local female team was the victor by the score of 6 to 1. In the first contest the Alphas decisely defeated the Jersey City A. C. Score. Alphas, 38; Jersey City A. C., 10. The young ladies of New York and the brides from across the bridge in dugout in the east face being a listless one. In several departments of the game they demonstrated that they were not novices. Dora Cole and Edith Trice gave praiseworthy exhibitions at shooting the ball, and Gladys Moore, despite her disparity in weight, showed up strong in her defensive work. The New York girls possessed too much aduoviridus for their more fragile opponents. The line-up: New York Girls Spartan Girls. Rosie Mitchell left forward. B Harris Carrielle Cole. right forward. E.

Thomas (Thomas) (Jones) The Athletic Council of Howard University showed its appreciation of the work of the victorious football squad a few evenings ago by tendering the members a banquet at Miner Hall. The dining room of Miner Hall was pretty decorated in blue and white, and at one end was a large picture of the variety presented by Mr. Scurlock, the banquet table was arranged in the shape of H and at every place was a beautiful souvenir menu card, containing a cut of the squad. Mr. Robinson, Law, 1893, a member of the council, was teeming with excitement. He spoke of the victorious season and of the manly spirit of the men who had brought honor and victory to Howard. He showed plainly the importance of athletics. The address of welcome was delivered by Secretary George W. Cook. He thrice welcomed the banqueters on behalf of the authorities of the university. His address was responded to by the assistant manager of the football team, who attended the Athletic Council in very fitting words for the banquet. The toastmaster next called for Coach Ernest Marshall for a few remarks. He arose amid applause. To Coach, "I will always allow are wont to call him, more than that, to succeed the success of the season was due. He said that if he could put the same spirit in the student body as was in the football squad that Howard would always succeed." Capt. "Gene" Allen, to whom much credit is due, was next introduced. He spoke of the honor of being captain of the greatest team tait Howard has ever had. The awarding of the "H" is an innovation at Howard University and at North Carolina. Heretofore letters of all sizes, of all kinds, have been worn by any and every body, but from now on the Athletic Council shall say who shall wear an "H" and what shall be worn, and furthermore it grew into the lettered sweater. In a few appropriate letters, Smith awarded the following men handsome blue coat sweaters with a white block "H": Capt. Allen, Ed. Gray, Captain Terry, Durrah, Smith, Brice, Bell, Straight, Moore, French, Tysen, "Tabble" Howard Manager Curley and President McKelvie of the Athletic Association. The next in order was the election of a new coach, 19 Halfback Grav, who has been in womens basketball for two years, was elected in an almost unanimous vote of the team. New Colored League Formed In Columbus, O., last Thursday afternoon the Interstate Colored Baseball League was launched when delegates responded to a call issued by J. H Settles, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Dayton were the Ohio cities represented and Indiana got in with Thomson Toledo, Indianapolis and Louisville are expected to line up later. After Mr. Settles got the meeting under way, he declined the place as the league president and that position fell to Edward Emerson of Columbus in the tennis of Richmond. India was made vice president, Albert Hubbard, Dayton, secretary, and M. C. More Dayton, treasurer. It is intended to hold the next meeting in Dayton, March 12. The colored men interested believe that they can push the league through to a solid victory, then they have had more or less experience in baseball. This is true, particularly, of the Dayton and Richmond parties. Boston to Have Strong Team. The Olympia Royal Glants of Boston the undisputed colored champions of New England, will have a strong team this season. From all indications it will be the fastest colored team Boston has ever had.

A vocal solo by Miss Lydia McClane, sister of the rector, was beautifully sung. Her voice is full of melody. Miss McClane also rendered a solo entitled "Fairyland." She was the fairy in a canoe, and the scene was well staged. Samuel King was the only student form in his vaudeville act, and enthused the audience to its entire satisfaction. The act went on proper then followed Cindy rolla in Flowerland, rendered by the shuffle of St. Barnabas, and instructed its credit to be instructed them Critics are bound to be about.

"Pots" Goes to Key West at 8 P. Per Day and Adverts The Age Free of Charge. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Key West, Fla., Feb. 20.—The members of the G. U. O. of O. F. are having a big time this week entertaining Geo. H. Gheezy, of Ocala, D. G. M. of this state. He arrived here on Saturday night. Sunday was spent in receiving visitors. On Monday night he presided at a joint session and delivered a fairly good address on the principles of the order. On Tuesday night he was the guest of honor and principal speaker at a reception given his honor. The large audience had come expecting to hear an interview, lecture, but instead they had nothing but a bitter attack on THE ACE simply because its editor had published the true facts relative to the B. M. C. He began his alleged lecture by telling the people that their minds were being led astray by reading false reports in THE NEW YORK ACE concerning the B. M. C. He also said in part that he knew they believed T. Thomas Fortune was still the editor, and that when he was in charge it was a much better paper. Your truly would like to ask right here, "Where did Mr. Sheehy get his information from?" We are sure that the editor's name comes out in the paper each week. He continued by saying that The Acq is not a reliable paper, and also that the affairs of the order could not have been placed in better hands than those of his friends who form the Morris-Houston faction. He took great pride in telling them that not one penny could be taken out of the treasury until he had affixed his "J. Hancock" to an order for the name. Sheehy came here with the reputation of being a "cultured" gentleman, and he lived up to it by speaking of The Acq editor as "Frog Mouth," whom he said was no unreliable that he would not believe a statement made by him, unless supported by a truthful person. He concluded by saying that the editor was simply sore because he had been excelled from the order thirty years ago, was refused admission to the Baltimore "Force," which he said is governed the same as the U. S. Congress; and that Mr. Moore hurried back to New York and sent out a lot of false reports. There are two sides to every question and everybody knows that THE ACE would gain nothing telling falsehoods, wherein the "Old Gang" would. He seemed to have forgotten the fact that the Associated Press dispatches also referred to that Baltimore "B. M. C." as being a farce. And everyone knows that these dispatches are correct. While in this city the G. M. received 30 per day from the local lodges which also paid his expenses. He is the editor of a very "large" four-page paper in Ocala. And maybe he expected to get a few subscribers in this city by knocking THE ACE. Sheedy is a joke here. TOWN OF BIG THINGS. Memphis, Capital of Three States and Also of Progressive Negro Community, Presents Evidence of Wealth and Thrift. Begilar Correspondence of T.M. As Memphis, Tenn. Feb. 21—1 am in Memphis, called the capital of three states, situated at the meeting point of Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee, and certainly the capital of one of the most interesting Negro communities. In the world. During my stay in Holly Springs I was the guest of Bishop and Mrs. Cottrill and Prof. and Mrs. E. H. McKissack. Here in Memphis Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Hayes have entertained me and given me automobile rides through the city and out to the fair-grounds. I was shown through the park and an ditorium owned by Robery R. Church, situated in the heart of the city. The other day the Rev. Dr. T. J. Searcy, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, raised $1,362. He called that a slight sum. There are 40 churches and 75 preachers. There are two flourishing banks in the city; the Solvent, the largest colored bank in the state, and the Fraternal. The Solvent was founded by Chuck Fraternal in 1910, most of the mortgages on the churches here, and its total monthly business is $890,000. The Fraternal has deposits of about $12,000 and makes a specialty of small loans. On all sides I hear that these banks are very helpful to the poor. Memphis has 62 physicians, 4 drugstores, 12 lawyers, 50 grocery stores and 1 shoe store, which carries a $3,000 stock. M. L. Clay is a wholesale and retail merchant and carries stock in his several stores of something like $16,000. There are 75 churches here, divided among the Baptists, C. M. E., A. M. E. and M. E. There is one each of the Episcopal and Congregational denominations. Lodges are without number. There are about 100 barber shops and 100 nail salon shops. One-hand furniture store does a good business and a jewelry shop reports show but steady progress. Colored brick-masons, carpenters, plasterers, painters and contractors can be found on every hand. Many of the largest buildings in the city were put up by the owners and colored mechanics work side by side with no thought of friction. Colored men and women work in factories, all the waiters in the hotels are colored and colored boys control the best-blacking business from Poplar to Calhoun. They own their homes by the hundreds, and R. R. Church, as pay taxes on more than $500,000 worth of property, scattered all over the city, from the corner of Second and Gayoow to way up on Tipton road. He seldom calls and is forever buying. The Masonic fraternity has a temple worth $25,000, and are now arranging up an meeing-room at a cost of $1,000 in this building are occupied by physicians, lawyers and real estate dealers. The Odd Fellows own about $400,000 worth of property. I met a letter carrier who owns a piece of property in the heart of business Memphis for the Negroes. Seemingly the Negroes in Memphis have a hand in whatever steps they desire to take on the road of progress. If they do not vote it is simply because they do not pay their poll-taxes or refuse to remain organized. Even though the mayor Mayor is not very friendly, many colored men are employed on the streets. Places of amusement are provided by leading colored men. It is highly amusing to watch white people on the street cars giving up their seats to colored people in a proposition. The whites seat for the front to the rear, the colored people from the rear of the car towards the front. On the Beale street line no colored people and all the white people are swing at every block. HAIR TROUBLES and does no good. Many of the colored people have their own rigs. T. H. Hayes, who represent Memphis at the last meeting of the National Association of African American live, pushing men of the city. Mr. Hayes failed a few times, but kept heart and is now a big factor in the business of the community. His plant is well worth $22,000 and the business done for 1910 was over $20,000. The value of the plant is $10,000. He vice-president of the Solvent bank, having declined the presidency caused by the resignation of Robert R. Church. Mr. Hayes gives employment to 21 people. He is planning to get all the business men into an active, wide range of jobs. The representation have pledged co-operation. In my talk with the many fine men and women I met none who uttered complaint, except to say that all would be stronger if the Negroes could be made to see the value of working for the Negroes. The Negro and the immoral Negro preacher. There is much work here for the women clubs. Memphis offers great opportunities to the young men of the race, and let me add that the colored population of Shelby county is said to be 150,000. I thought I saw that many on Boole street alone. F.R.M. TANNER IN CHICAGO Painter's Work Receives Praise on All Sides. One Writer Protesting Confining His Fame to Any One Race—Reception in His Honor. Regular Correspondence of The Ann. Chicago, Ill., Feb. 29—Chicago was signally favored last week by the presence in the city of H. O Tanner, the noted artist of France and the United Sigtes. About 20 of Mr. Tanner's recent paintings have been on exhibition in Thurbur's Galleries, Fine Arts Building. Throngs of art lovers in Chicago were quick to realize the rare opportunity afforded them and the superior quality of Mr. Tanner's work. The newspapers and art critics were most generous in their commendation. The canvases already shown in the Art Institute, and represented the following subects: "Christ Walking Upon the Sea," "Mary Visiting Elizabeth," "Christ Learning to Read," "Holy Family," "Sand Dunes," "Hills Near Jerusalem," "Hebron," "Hiding of Moses," Morocco, "Hindy Moosemen," "Omen of the Bible," "Staples, Rire Near Etapies," "Yemen Jew," "Alderny" and "Dunes Near Etapies." A recent writer has this to say in speaking of Mr. Tanner's standing as an artist: "He should no longer be classed as the foremost Negro painter, but rather as one of the greatest artists that America has produced. Indeed he is no doubt that he now ranks as the greatest living religious painter." Last Thursday evening Mr. Tanner was tendered a reception under the auspices of the Frederick Douglas Center. The reception was one of the most interesting and distinctive events of the season. Both races participated in the event, with the world and enthusiasm. Representatives of the Art Institute were present and spoke most interestingly of Mr. Tanner's distinctive achievements in the art world. Among those present were: Dr. and Mrs. H. C. Woolley, Mrs. M. Willmarth, Mrs. Crosby, Mrs. and Mrs. Wilmahns, Mrs. Barr, Dr. and Mrs. Geo. C. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Bley, Mrs. W. E. (Sewart, Dr J. T. Jenifer, Miss Edith Burns of New York, Miss Edith Madden, Mr. T. Douglass, Mr. Meyers, Miss Mary Morris of Cleveland, Ohio, and many others. It is needless to say that Thurber's students were an unusually filled with people during this exhibition of Mr. Tanner's remarkable productions. Chicago people are becoming good and better every day, if the number of people crowding in and joining the church is growing. The church of the ten days' campaign which resulted in the raising of nearly $67,000 toward the $150,000, Y. M. C. A. building for Chicago, is showing its good results in a religious way. The church seen in the image is accustomed to Grace Presbyterian church, Rev. Moses H. Jackson, pastor. Among the prominent people joining this church are Dr. and Mrs.Geo. C. Hall, Dr. and Mrs. Spencer Tickenon, John Marshan, and many others. The social season is upon us. There is no end of receptions, whist parties, private cotillions, high teas, etc. During the past week Mrs. E. E. Wilson gave an emborate Valentine Whist party in honor of her cousin, Miss Eleanor Bentley, Ohio. The parlorers were artistically decorated with red and white hearts, appropriate to the occasion. Among those present were Medamesa Ella Martin, Julia Thompson, Geo. C. Hall, K. Easton, C. E. Bentley, J. S. Madden, S. S. Paul, Fannie Barrier Williams, Bent Sayers, Geo. Jackson, Oscar DePrentie, John R. Marshall, Mrs. Leary, Mrs. DePrentie, Miss Edith Burns, Miss L. Linesey, Miss Mattie Johnson, Mrs Birdie Parrish and Mrs. C. Dent. DR. BROOKS' STATEMENT Rev W. H. Brooks, for fourteen years pastor of St. Mark's Church, and who surprised his congregation a few weeks ago by stating that he would resign his charge at the close of the conference year, has given out a final statement relative to his future connection with the church, which is to the effect that the continuance of his pastorate at St. have been remedied for years by the use of Kinkine, the most wonderful hair grower and tonic ever discovered. Its hair growing properties are simply marvelous and there are thousands of users of Kinkine who have written us of its satisfactory results. Kinkine hair dressing is a delightfully perfumed toonic prepared especially for the use of colored people, is guaranteed absolutely safe and harmless. Mark's will depend entirely on the status of his health. The Rev. Dr. Brooks says he is not inclined to stand in the way of a good man, as the work demanded of the pastor of St. Mark's is of a very responsible nature. When asked by an Acq representative as to the state of his health, the Rev. Dr. Brooks said: "I am rapidly improving and am regaining my strength and vigor. I am holding in the open air as much as possible and when conference meets in March I hope to be in good shape. It is thought that Dr. Brooks will be recalled as guest of St. Mark's Chphh. GRANT MEMORIAL SERVICE8. Tribute Paid Late Bishop at Bethel A. M. E Church last Sunday—Church Man Had Interisting Career. Memorial services were held at Bethel A. M. E Church for the late Bishop Abram Grant last Sunday. The services were largely attended. The Rev Dr Ransom conducted the first part of the services, which included the reading 1st Psalms by Irving Wells and the reading of church notices by the church clerk. The favorite hymn of the deceased bishop—"There Was a Gate that Stood Ajar"—was sung by the congregation. In paying a tribute to Bishop Grant the Rev. Dr Ransom said in part: "It has been true of old that whenever a great man passes away the people appreciate that a great crisis is at hand. "It was true when Moses went into the mountain and the children of Israel said what shall we do for a leader?" But God raised up a Joshua. When Abraham Lincoln was smitten the populace acclaimed who now shall take up the reign of the government; then we remember the stirring words of Garfield, 'God is not dead and the government at Washington still lives.' In our own church we feel the loss of Bishop Grant and begin to think a church crisis is at hand, but God is not dead. Dr. Ransom then told of Bishop Grant's origin and rise to prominence in church and state. Mrs. Frederick Brady, of Chicago, and who was an intimate friend and neighbor of Bishop Grant, was another speaker.

He handled 213 cases under the direction of Judge Feagin last year. The Negro probationists are sent to join Daleys's farm in Tuscaloosa county and to Mt. Meigs' Reformatory, near Montgomery.
