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. Other speakers will be President A Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard University, Mr. Justice Hughes, of the Supreme Court of the United States, and Gov. 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.

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. 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.

Sufficient and should be secured adjourning. An office to serve the needs during the period of the exposition. In round figures it should be about a quarter of million. 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.

This was the first time in the history of the organization that a educated man has been invited to speak of the great African American celebrations.

The room was elaborately decorated. with American flags, large and small, festooned over windows and doors and in various places along the walls. Bunting in the national colors was suspended from the centre of the ceiling to the corners of the room. Shields were used effectively in the decorative scheme. Above and beyond all, at the rear of the guests' table, embossed in the flag he loved, was a portrait of Lincoln, fittingly termed a 'man of sorrows.' Who Were There. "Seated at the right of Toastmaster Dickey were the Rev. Dr. McLaughlin, Mr. Hart of Prekskill (a guest of Captain Dickey), Samuel E. Shipp, Judge A H. F. Seeger and the Rev. Mr. Washburn.

Tymmaster No word from him is needed to warn me that I am not expected to instruct the distinguished company upon the matters of matters less than Lincoln. 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 . a yt. Tae RaW ‘VOR AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1911 WANTED IN WALL STREET.

After a long and persistent fight that has lasted for almust ibn®®. years; the ‘Negro citizens of Des Moines, Ie, have finally succeeded in suppressing the pro- duction of Thomas Dixon's obnoxious play, “The Clantman” ‘The fight start ed shout tree years ago when the play was first advertised to appear in Moines on March 12, 1907, when a Committee was appointed by’ the loca ‘Afro-American Council to wait upoa the mayor and request Bim to/ suppress the play. ‘The mayor failed to find any ordi nance of the city under which it could be suppressed, but expressed his willing. ness to act had he the authority. Unwilling to be daunted by 30 flimsy an excuse, the committee consulted At- tomey S. Joe Brown, at that time assict- ant legal director of the National Afro- American Council, who resides in Des Momes. He quickly declared that be could in a very few minutes draft an ‘ordinance under which the play could be suppressed, provided they could get the council iS pie it, so ‘the ‘ormance was drawn and such pressure brought to bear upon the coonci! that they were forced to pass it on March 4. The mayor for some reason delayed the publicz- tion 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 an- nounced 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 ad- vised that the ordinance which he had drawn three years previous was still in force, and the attention of the superi tendent 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 doing his duty, public sentiment was appealed to, and ‘resolutions were secured from practical: ly every Negro and also a number of white organizations inthe ity, and, so ‘much unfavorable sentiment created that ‘the managers of the theatre announced to a committee of prominent colored citi- ‘zens that the engagement of the com- pany had been canceled, although the ao was compelled to forfeit 1,000, IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Howard Defeats All Stars.

Sidom if ever, has there been a revival in the colored churches of Brooklyn where the interest has been so deeply felt as at Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Duffield street, near Merkle avenue of which the Rev William M. Moss, D. D., is pastor. The settings have been in progress since the first of February and have been attended by thousands of men, women and children, and a resent over 100 have been converted. The candidates will probably be baptists on the first Sunday evening in March.

"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. 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. She began her tribute with an original ode and said our gathering here to-day is the last bishop of Bishop Grant was no cause for sorrow and that the church had lost one of its greatest clergymen and the race has lost one of its greatest champions. OFFICER DOING GOOD WORK. Special to Twin New York Ag. Birmingham, Ala, Feb 20—The Rev. L. D. James, a colored preacher, is probation officer in Judge Feagin's court for the Negro children.

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.
