BUSINESS MEN MEET AT SELMA Alabamians Hold Third Annual Session With Interesting Program Institution in Selma Has 30,000 Depositors and One in Montgomery Nearly 45,000 W. J. Echois Chosen Delegate to Meeting of Parent Body at Little Rock—Next Session to be Held at Tuskegee. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Selma, Ala., Feb. 27.—The third annual session of the Alabama State Negro Business League held a two days' session in this city last week. President W. J. Echois, of Birmingham, presiding. The first day was occupied entirely in carrying out an extensive program, in which several questions affecting the business and commercial life of the Negroes of Alabama were discussed. A committee to redraft the constitution was appointed and enrollment of members for the year came out. At the First Baptist Church a public reception was given the visitors by the Negro citizens of Selma, at which addresses of welcome were delivered by Rev J W Walker, Rev S. T. Clanton of Selma University and W. H. McAlpine. The response was delivered by J H Phillips of Montgomery, chairman of the executive committee. Considered a interest centered in the discussion of the subject, "What the Negro Banks are Doing for the Uplift of the Race," as presented by Dr. W. R. Pettiford president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank of Birmingham, and its affiliated institutions in Montgomery and Selma. Dr. W. R. Pettiford on Negro Banks Dr. Pettiford declared that banks among Negroes were great schools, teaching them common business ideas first, then how to turn individual effort into cooperative effort, and greater effort all to learn to trust each other. He used an example of the fact that the bank in Selma had many depositors, and the bank in Memphis nearly 40,000 depositors, that not just a banking institution but a large express of confidence from the people. He emphasized the fact that these banks not only gave employment to Negroes, but became the medium for the circulation of Negro money, that the point being lost to the bank, and that the bank in Pettiford, and Negroes, would more than any other agency will teach the way of some lesson to the people. Dr. W. H. Newsome, founder and president of the Safety Reality and Banking Company of Mobile also discussed the subject. The many solid relations of the minister in the life of the Negro people were to be by Dr R T Pollard, who took his work seriously. The Place of the Minister in the Moral, Civil and Religious life of the People" He classed the preacher as a moral civil and religious dynamic that he to live morality as well as preach it. "Many ministers will think they have only to preach and look important. The time for that however, as over and in keeping with the bustle and bustle of the present, the minister is wanted in proportion to his ability and inclination to be a factor in the life of the people. A Message From Mound Bayou The address of Dr Pollard was followed in a very forceful way by George H Mass, general financial secretary of the Mound Bayou Cotton Seed Oil Mull, who is the confidential representative of Charles Banks of Mound Bayou, Miss. He appealed to the ministers to help Negro business leagues and to encourage the people whom they touch to patronize to help Negro business enterprises. The speaker told the audience of the great work being made by the Negroes in Mound Bayou, and described detail of the life in that hustling little comedy. He paid a high tribute to Isaiah F Montgomery, the founder of Mound Bayou and to Charles Banks, its leading print. The subject opened by the Baldwin was vigorously discussed by the W. R Pettiford, Rev J A Martin and others. The occupants hold of many Negro farmers by A. L. Burks of Tuskegee one of the greatest causes for the poverty results in farming Mr. L. Burks is the representative of a Minneapolis bank in the handling of its property for colored tenants. He devised better houses and better surroundings must he had to manage labor in the farm and to keep the laborers satisfied. Are Derived by the Public Industrial Insurance Company was discussed by E. S. Peters of M. O. J. A Coffee of Florence. Prof. R. B.

Bower, Mrs. J Neville Rigg Mme Adena C Minott, Miss A Askin. on "How to Successfully Conduct a Coal and Wood Yard." Delegates and visitors attending the second day's session of the league listened to an interesting discussion of the subject, "How to Conduct a Grocery Store," by Ed Price of Dothan, who is said to be the largest Negro merchant in the State. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Price stated that the ministers did not do their full share in teaching the people to patronize Negro enterprises, and in many instances were not themselves patrons of such establishments. These charges against the ministry occasioned a very spirited debate, in which particularly Dr J. C. Judkins, pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, of Montgomery, defended the Negro preachers in vigorous language. He called attention to the fact that preachers were on the directorate of every Negro bank in the State of Alabama and were at the head of two. "I am tired of hearing every little two-by-four fellow get up in these meetings and tell the public that the minister is not doing his duty. The minister is doing far more to help all of you than you are doing to help the church." After repeated interruptions, Mr. Price completed his narrative, stating that he had the patronage of both white and colored people of Dothan. The subject was discussed by J P Bond, V H Tline, E. H Gimil and others. One very interesting contribution to the discussion of grocery was the short address of Miss Fenne Turner, cashier and manager of the Talline Grocery of Montgomery. The discussion of Dry Goods and Haberdashery was discussed by Mrs R F Puts and Luntown, who declared that one of the surest means of success was to be found in the advertising units of the papers. Negro Business Man Must Give Value Received In the discussion which followed with the latter, we examined, "We have got it wrong in bringing our people because they don't trade with us. All the people can't trade with us. We must not exert pressure on a man simply because we are black. I have as much patronage on the part of the white people in Montgomery as colored people, and I would be willing to expect a black man to trade with us because of no other reason. I am prepared to give a man just as good weight just as good measure as any other dealer, and often it is a better price." The league came to a close with a strong address on The Servant Girl Problem, by Miss Cornehna Bowen of Mr. Mergs Institute, who gave some pointed and spirited expressions and defended the Negro servant girl from nays of the aspersions cast upon her. Other addresses at the closing session were made by Dr L. I. Burwell, who illustrated his business system in the Burwell Drug Store at Selma, and C. First Johnson who became the first life member, Dr Charles E. Thomas of Aniston, and Dr A. C. Dungee discussed Tuberculous and Sanitary Conditions." The following officers were elected for the ensuing year. Victor H Tulane, Montgomery, president, J A.

NEW YORK, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1911. STOCKHOLDERS LAUNCH NEW REALTY COMPANY Concern to be Known as the Metropolitan Hall Association ATKINS IS LEGAL ADVISER L. C. Collins and Other Officers of Old Firm Not Connected—Concern to Deal in Suburban Property. John H. Atkins, president and manager of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, which is now in the hands of a receiver, and several hundred stockholders of the defunct concern, are planning to launch another corporation, which will be known as the Metropolitan Hall Association. The purpose of the newly-formed organization will be to take up all the available stock and other securities of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company. Although Mr. Atkins is one of the incorporators of the new concern, he is the only officer of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company to be associated with the Metropolitan Hall Association. Surprise has been expressed from several quarters that L. C. Collins a trustee, and other officers of the old concern are not connected with the latest venture. It is said that Mr. Atkins will act only as a adviser for the Metropolitan Hall Association will not hold office. According to the information made public, the company will conduct a real estate business dealing in suburban property. There will be common and protected stock, and an arrangement will be made with the stockholders of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company to accept their shares in exchange for securities of the new concern. No attempt will be made to purchase a building at this time. The company will have its offices at 4 Court square, Brooklyn. LINCOLN JOHNSON. PRESS AGENT Recorder of Deeds Said to Spend Most of His Time Writing Political Articles—Does Not Favor Intention of Punishment at Napier as Vernon's Successor. Special to The New York Acr. Washington, D. C. Feb 28 It is generally talked about here in Washington that Recorder of Deeds Henry Lincoln Johnson is working overtime writing editorials for the Atlanta Independent and inspiring other news items for other publications with a view of thwarting the President's expressed determination to appoint James C. Napier as Register of the Treasury. It is well known that Mr Johnson is doing whatever he can to balk the plans and wishes of the President in this matter. It is also well known that the editorials which appear in the Atlanta Independent are written by Mr Johnson in Washington and sent to Atlanta. It is even whispered upon what anthony we do not know, that Mr Vernon has employed Mr Johnson and other to act as his paid attorney in retaining him in his position, but it is generally understood of course, that the President has made up his mind what he is going to do and that he will do it, regardless of the wishes of Henry Lincoln in Johnson or anybody else. It is said to be an entirely new departure in Washington official life to see one of the President's appointees doing everything he can to thwart the President of the United States in his efforts to bring about certain policies or to do certain things. CANADA BAR8 NEGROE8 Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Washington, D. C. Feb 28—State Department officials are inclined to believe that too broad a construction has been given to the action of the Canadian officials at Winnipeg in stopping party of Negroes from the United States, which sought to cross the boundary into western Canada It is believed that if such action were taken, it was based on objections to the individuals of the party. If it should appear, however, that the Dominion Government has decided to exclude a whole class of American citizens because of their color, the State Department probably would feel called upon to protest against such action as a clear violation of the treaty rights of Americans. ALL GRADUATES WERE WHITE Not a Negro Was in the February Class Which Finished Course at Clio School of Mental Science. There was not a Negro in the graduating class which completed its course during the month of February at the Clio School of Mental Science, 697 Sixth avenue, of which Mme. Adena C. Minott is principal. It was the first time in the history of the school that a colored person was not awarded a diploma for the course which begins in October and ends in February. The honor members of the class are Sabino Molino, Harry A. Bower, Mrs. I. Neville Rigg and Mss A. Askin. Mme. Adena C. Minott, who is considered one of the best readers of phrenology in the city, took a course at the MacDonnall College of Phrenology and Psychology, Washington, D. C., graduating with honors with the degrees Ph. B and M. S. Later she took a post-graduate course at the Fowler and Wells Institute of Phrenology and Anthropology, New York, and perfected herself as a teacher in the five branches of mental science—phrenology, anthropology, psychology, physiogamy, and physiology, anatomy and hygiene. Among the members on the board of the Clio School of Mental Science are Rev Hutchens C. Bishop, Fred R. Moore, Rev W H. Brooks and Mrs Frances Keyser URGES AGITATION Dr. W. E. B. Dubois Thinks that for Next Twenty-five Years Negroes Should Adopt Policy—Collection of Thirty Odd Dollars Raised. After having been postponed several times, a meeting in the interest of the movement which is said to have been launched for the advancement of Negroes in this country was held Monday evening at St. Mark's M. E. Church. The principal speaker of the evening was Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, who is now being employed by a number of white persons to further the work. During his remarks Dr. Du Bois stated that a more determined policy should be pursued in securing the Negro his rights and privileges in this country. Dr John Hayes Holmes GIRL ADJUDGED COLORED Court Rules that Luelia Loftridge Has Negro Blood in Her Veins—Exports Say that it Is Difficult to Tell "When Is Who" Nowadays. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Baltimore, Md. Lilie 25, Attorney mutting her to finger and test to determine her real identity. Judge Niles of the City Court Monday ruled that Lucila Leitrudge was robbed by Judge Niles despite the fact that white experts ad- mitted that they were greatly paralleled as to Miss Leitrudge's color stains. After the case had been concluded one experts stated that nowadays the very different tool who is white and that there are hundreds of Negroes in the United States passing for white. Lucila Leitrudge has been returned to the Negro Home. To offset the testimony of medical experts brought by counsel for the girl, the attorney for the Negro Home called witnesses, inciting an aunt of the children, to testify that the father was a Negro and the family was regarded as Negroes in Pittsburgh, where they lived Strangely, the father himself, who is still living in Pittsburgh, could not find time to leave his work to testify. The case came into the courts in the shape of habasas corpus proceedings in situated by Elizabeth Leitrudge to secure the freedom of Luella from St. Elizabeth's Home, and at the same time prove they were whites. Former At- torney: General Bon parte represented the Home. Dr J Whitteridge Williams, of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, testified to tests he had made. A blush mark on one of the child's finger nails directly above the "half moon," raised a suspicion that she might be of Negro blood, but that was all he discovered. Other experts were on hand but not called. The Home's first witness was Stella Leetridge, a full-blooded Negro woman, who swore she was the sister of Elizabeth's father. The father, whose real name was Fletcher, she testified, married a German woman, a blonde. There were five children In Pittsburgh the family was generally regarded as Negroes and lived among Negro associates. Mrs Montgomery, a charity worker, who is now living in Boston, told how she brought the two girls from Pittsburgh, placing them first in a Negro home in Melvale, from which they were transferred to St. Elizabeth's. Testimony showing the Negro surroundings of the girls was also given by Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, a probation officer of Pittsburgh OLD RESIDENT DIES AT CANONSBURG, PA. Richard Kennedy, Known as "Uncle Remus" Expires, Aged 106 Years OLD SOLDIERS PAY RESPECTS Colored and White Veterans Attend Funeral Services Held From A.M.J. Church —Was Born Near Lexington, Ky. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Canonsburg, Pa., Feb. 28—Richard Kennedy, known for miles around as the "Uncle Remus" of Canonsburg, died last week at the age of 106 years. He was considered the oldest resident in this section of Pennsylvania. Funeral services were held last Thursday afternoon from the A M. E. Church, of which he was a member, Rev. C. A. Magee officiating. Colored and white citizens of Canonsburg were in attendance. At the head of the casket were placed the National colors, and several veterans of the Civil War—white and colored—were present to pay their last respects to an old comrade who fought with them during the '60s for the honor and glory of the Nation. The remains were interred in the A M. E. Cemetery Richard Kennedy was born of slave parents near Lexington, Ky., about the year 1805. He grew to manhood on one of the plantations there, highly prized by the owner of the place. Many were the tales that Mr. Kennedy would tell of life south of the Ohio. He was wont to say that when it came to "breaking hemp" there was not a man, black or white, in all that country who could "shake a stalk at him." He would dilate on how anxious when the war broke out, the "master" and his sons and their friends were to get the news of the impending conflict, and of wrangles in which they would engage, some holding that the North would soon give in and others claiming that the South would be "licked" in the end. The war came, the white men marched away and the slaves were allowed to run the plantations. Mr. Kennedy, however, after a time, left the plantation, crossed the Ohio and later entered the Union army as a member of Company C, Forty-third Pennsylvania Regiment, Colored Volunteers. Though born a slave, a grateful governor I have the pleasure of con- tenting the reader in the book Dick when was a writer in the Mr. Kernick, a writer in James Kernick. CORRECTS FALSE IMPRESSION Collector Charles W Anderson Tells Why He Took an Interest in All Stars—Says "Knockers" Have Done Much to Inconvenience Race The letter has been re- ceived by Charles W Anderson and has connected with A Star Stall team I am the Lifelong New York Age Will be here for your visit to our column to see impression which some of you may not get into the minds of some of our people here to see what we respond to my interest in the proposed basketball gam and the Star Stall Team St. Cavalier. I have never back any financial interest in this or any other basketball game. I hope I may be burdened for saying that my public role is all public, and and that at the time in my life I will be a race me must through con- tributions of personal gain for myself. I have made it a rule to always give my sympathy, and where I could give it, my practical support to every movement that had for its object the advancement of our people, and to men, who as Henry Murger expresses it "were in the play bills" Hence when two members of the All Star team whose fathers I had known for more years than I should care to confess called upon me to help in the relaxation of the rules governing the letting of State armories to persons not connected with the State militia, I cheerfully consented to do all in my power to help them, without the slightest suspicion that of them the criticam or provoke controversy. To my great surprise, I found that certain other groups of young men were opposing this game with that of them frequently disfigured athletics too of this city. Of course, I am not quite prepared to say just who is altogether right or wrong in this controversy, but I cannot but think that there must be something radically wrong in a condition of things which engender personal antimovements in the same city. Entirely striving for the same object is Quick to Encourage All Reso Movements. Like most of our people in this city, I was anxious to witness a game between some local team and the gallant troopers of the Tenth Cavalry, and I yet indulge the sincere hope that such a game will be played in the near future. I should have used my good offices in favor of any other team just as I did in the past, and I should men of the All Star team, for I have always tried to be "quick to encourage and slow to disparage" all worthy race movements, without much regard for the non-essentials which too frequently creep into my mind, and worthy men. Scarcely a week passes over my head without an application from some one to lend a helping hand, and almost always these applications come from men who are not, in any way, interested in the game. And before there is little likelihood of any return of service, yet I have made it a rule to always respond to this "Macedonian cry" even when the chances of success seem completely out of the order of practical necessity and front of my interest in this matter "hath this extent no more." I hope I shall not be considered ill-natured if I say that I greatly regret that any members of the race should have sent letters of protest to Colonel Conley against the war and that they have undoubtedly done much to embarrass the All Star team. I fear they have also done much to make it difficult or impossible hereafter for colored people to secure a State armory for any purposers raised the race question over the incident, and the raising of that race question has not only hurt us with the armory...people but I fear it has also done much to embarrass those who are fighting in the war and have organized regiment in the State militia. I am not criticizing the men who opposed the All Star team, but like most others who have no private quarrels, and no private ends to serve, could have wished that they had directed to some purpose less personal and more distinctly associated with the welfare of the race. CHARLES W ANDERSON AN ECHO OF SLAVERY DAYS Virginians Aroused Over History Used at Roanoke College which Refers to Attention Shown Negro Women by Their Masters. Special to The New York Age. Roanoke, Va. Feb. 28 – Roanoke College is the scene of very exciting times these days, owing to the introduction of a history of the United States which carries paragraphs relating to the treatment of Negro women in slavery days by their masters. The author of the history is H. W. Elson, said to be a classmate of Prof H J Thorsdorf, who is professor of history at Roanoke College. The most revolting feature of slavery in America, one that the historian blushes to record but history must deal with facts, is that too often the attractive slave woman was a prostitute to her master, that their children bore the stamp of her countenance, and yet according to the inflexible rule of the slave States they shared the concept of motherhood and were led by their own father, this evil was spread at the South, as the mixed condition of the black race to day will testify. A sister of President Madison declared that though the Southern ladies were complimented with the name of wife, they were only the mistresses of a savage leading Southern lady declared to Harriet Hartnau that the wife of many a planter was but the chief slave of the harem According to the Roan as a respondent of the New York县, many from the men of the state have children at the college, among them being Loder Moffitt of Salem, Va., who directed the attention of the president of the college to the objectionable paragraphs. He was reiterated to Prof. Torstensburg and the correspondence was unjustified. Immediately Judge Moffitt is said to have instructed his daughter not to attend the history classes. Other parents are said to have taken similar action, though the rules of the college are that any student refusing to attend a class may be expelled. The Confederate Veterans are expressing the highest indignation at the use of the history, which is said to relictually on the South. The Rev Dr. Henry William Elson is well known as an author and a lecturer. He is one of the prominent men of the Lutheran Church in this country. Among his many books are "Side Light on American History," in two volumes published in 1899, 1900, "Four Historical Biographies for Children," also published in 1999, the subjects of the biographies being Gen Ulysses S. Grant President Andrew Jackson, Daniel Roose and Miss Frances Willard, the famous temperance leader, who died in few years ago. In 1901 he published his book, How to Teach History, in 1902 The Starguer's Handbook," and in 1903 his "History of the United States." Dr Elson who now lives in Philadelphia, was born in Muskingum County, Ohio on March 20, 1857, the son of Jacob and Clara Swingle Elson He was graduated from Thuel College, Pennsylvania, in 1886, following with a special course in history and literature at the University of Pennsylvania 1893-95, where he received the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy In the interval between his graduation from Thiel College and his post-graduate course at the University of Pennsylvania Dr Elson was pastor of a Lutheran church at Kittanning, Pa. When he resigned that pastorate it was to become a writer and lecturer, and he has not had a church charge since. His first work as a lecturer was in connec- Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS TO REHABILITATE TRUE REFORMERS Delegates From Twenty-seven States Hold Meeting in Richmond Offices Abolished, New Officers Elected and Well Known People Put on the Board. RETAIN HOLMES AND BURRELL $12,000 in Cash and Subscriptions Pledged by Delegates—Commissioner of Insurance Gives Encouragement. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Richmond, Va., Feb. 28.—Over 750 delegates from 27 States attended the special session of True Reformers, beginning in this city last Tuesday and ending at a late hour last Thursday night. A more representative body of colored people has never assembled in this city. The session was a harmonious one throughout, and resulted in many changes being made in the order. Sentiment was discarded and a strict business policy was adopted. Retrenchment was the motto. The salaries of several officers were considerably reduced, the real estate department abolished, the offices of the two deputy generals declared vacant, and the offices of editor and manager of the Reformer, the official organ of the True Reformers, were combined. B. A. Graves, who was formerly manager, was elected to the position Counsellor J C. Newsome of Newport News, Va., was named attorney for the organization. The following were elected on the board A. W. Holmes, Richmond, Va; W. L. Anderson, Beaver Dam, Va; Geo. E. Morris, Morristown, N. J.; W. P. Burrell, Richmond; Mrs. Rosa Thompson, Philadelphia, Pa.; Dr. John Marrisweather, Richmond; Dr. Jas.

Joseph Ward, Richmond, Messrs. Holmes and Burrell raten their offices and the following officers were elected: I. D. Hodge, G W. G. Montgomery, W. A. H. Brown, G W. A. G. Annapolis Md. I. R. W. G. W. P. G. Donville Va. Mrs. M. L. Howard, G W. R. Hultma, Ga. M J Gibson, G W. I. G. Indianapolis, Ind. Dr. Merroweather Elected Grand Treasurer By contributing the sum of $12,000 in cash and subscriptions at the last night's meeting to help cancel the indebtedness is conscriptive proof that the members are determined to save the reputation of the race along financial lines Dr John Merriweather, who was elected grand treasurer, is highly esteemed and has the confidence of the organization and the best citizens of both races in Virginia. Men and women prominent in the National Negro Business League were the factors that largely contributed to conserving the interest of the organization. Presidents of local leagues were on all of the important committees. The personnel of the committees were men and women who had achieved success. Grand Master A W Holmes caused great applause when he made his report and showed that despite the troubles that had overtaken the organization, and he being placed at the head at a time when matters were in a chaotic state, $54,000 had been collected since last October and hundreds of claims paid. The report showed that the order was the greatest Negro fraternal movement in the world. The report of W. P. Burrell, W G S, was a comprehensive and exhaustive one. He spoke of the warning he had sounded for a number of years at the sessions of the Grand Fountain, which was rejected by these bodies, and substantiated his statements by the minutes of these meetings. R. T Hill, grand worthy treasurer, made his report and then resigned the position. The Czar never had more power than former Grand Master Taylor. He had a law enacted that he could remove from the grand officers down to the janitors any time that he felt so disposed. The fact was exhibited at the meeting that the exorbitant salary received by Mr Taylor was not legitimate to the extent it may become a feature for future deliberations. Substantial Business Men Interested in Rehabilitation Such men as Prof R B McRary of Lexington, N C, capitalist, Adolphus Humbles of Lynchburg, reputed to be worth over $200,000, Dr Jas B Dudley, president A & M College for the colored race, and Dr J E. Dellinger of Greensboro, N C.; Dr. John Merrilweather, a wealthy professional and business man, and Drs W F. Graham and W T Johnson, with other successful business men, are carefully looking after the interest of the organization, and (Continued on Page 8) LEWIS NAMED ASSISTANT U. S. ATTORNEY GENERAL Bestoman Appointed to High Office by President Taft—Appointment Median Predicted All Along by The Age. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Washington, Feb. 8.—The President sent to the Senate Tuesday afternoon the nomination of William H. Lewis of Massachusetts to be Assistant Attorney-General of the United States. Lewis will succeed John G. Thompson, who resigned a few days ago. Mr Lewis is a graduate of Harvard University and now holds the office of Assistant United States Attorney in Boston. His appointment was agreed upon several months ago and announcement was made in the last campaign that the President had decided to appoint Lewis as a mark of recognition of the Negro Republicans. It is the first time that a Negro has held such an important office in the Department of Justice NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL CITY New Chairman of House Committees for District of Columbia to be Southern Democrat—White Members of Y. M. C. A. Draw Line on Chinese Member—Other News. Regular Correspondence of The AOR. Washington, D. C., February 28 — The calling of an extra session of Congress by President Taft, which is now deemed inevitable, has caused considerable speculation among the citizens of Washington as to how they will fare with a Democratic House of Representation, the number of which is destined for the chairmanship of the House Committee on the affairs of the District of Columbia. This committee has charge of the appropriations for various public institutions, such as the public schools and local charities. It is expected to pass into the hands of Representative Johnson of Kentucky, a thoroughly southern Democrat. Already we see claim to know the sentiments of Representative Johnson toward certain kinds of education for colored persons are asserting that there is going to be much trouble in the future caused by the chairmanship of the House Committee for the District coming under the control of a Southern Democrat, as this element in Congress has the necessary ability to ensure the necessity of a dual educational system involving colored and white officials of the same rank. It is argued, however, that the Senate is still under Republican control, and is likely to remain so for some time and that it will act as an efficient prod toward the House Committee in compiling it to award the colored members of the portion of the annual appropriations which are deemed desirable by them. What is considered as the death blow to the adoption of the resolution favoring the popular election of Senators, which the Hon Chaucaune Depew took up in the Senate about a month ago, to instigate the effect on the status of the Negro vote, is the Sutherland resolution which was adopted last week. The resolution advocated concession to nonfeudal elections by the Federal Senate, and the Southern Senate, and then opposed to such an insurer, the effect of the adoption of the resolution was to immediately kill the bill. Dr. Keltonkind of Hawaii who is a deacon at the island to Congress has been a dispatch indicating that a few days ago the Hawaii bill for a resolution favoring the establishment of a state of the Union.

From the Springfield Republican's re- port we take the following touching ref erence to Senator Tillman's part in the recent memorial exercises held by the Senate in honor of several of its lat members: Bo affected by the emotions and weakened by the illness with which be was stricken In the last. session o Congress as to be unable to continue, Senator Tilman’ of South. Carolina, gank sobbing into his seat Sunday, @oqn after having begun a speech in ‘Sulogy of the Inte Senators Alexander 8 Clay of Georgia and Jonathan P. Dolliver of Iowa.

Indeed an affecting scene! Tillman ir tears. The Pitchfork bent and feeble: Whe arch-angel be with us We wonder not that those who saw the sight were moved, nor did surpnse strike us short i ‘hey had been moved to tears which wel might have mingled with the precious drops that streamed down the furrowed face of the stricken Nullifier. Tears! Upon these, that coursed the cheeks o! a helpless and harmless people, this stricken sweetheart of infamy sailed to fame and fortune. These—tears—were the high seas of which he was captain and pilot Does ‘Billman sob for his friends, gone whither he must soon take his journey, or does Remorse exact her tribute? A life spent in willamens as- ault upon those that bere him no ull. will, and in blasphemous tirade against the brotherhood of man ends in sobs. Let us stnke Pity bosom and implore the charity of the saints And yet let Benjamin weep: an ocean of tears from his softened heart can never wash away the crimes against the South Carolina blacks the heartlessness of which carried him to earthly crowns and robes of state. To the sons of men through the prophet the Lord spake Vengeance 15 mine, I will repay! A GOOD TOWN. Of the many imteresting experiments that have been made in Negro town building, Mound Bayou, Mississipp1, 1s in all respects, the community that gives tus the largest hopes. We mean no dis paragement to other efforts Mound Ba you is 2 town, a real live community. ‘gad it is now old enough to look back to its doubtful days Filled with ambi tious, industrious, thriving people, to the number of 1,200, to the visitor it gives every evidence of solid growth “The streets are laid off as if the founder -of the town believed that some day it would become a city, and the buildings and residences are built in modern style ‘The people dress better than well, and the schools and churches are a credit ‘not to the Negroes of Mound Bayou alone, but to Negroes everywhere. It is the capital of a population of more than 3,900 people. Its railroad facilities are ‘as good as any on the Valley line, and its commercial activity is beyond that of éurrounding towns. It would be super- fuous to mention its banking house, which is one of the widely known in- stitutions of the south. ‘Two years ago Andrew Carnegie gave the town a beautifal library building ‘The structure is something more than a reading room, it is the center of the social and intellectual life of the peaple somewhat of 2 clearing house of thei ambitions, The library 1s in need of Books—books of every kind, religious books, books of travel and fiction, refer ence works and standard histories Tn ‘Ace suggests that the leading Negroes ‘ef each community in all sections, each send two good books to the library, in the care of Charles Banks, and mm this way make 2 precentation of 2 library tu the town, in the name of the race Nowhere in the south is there a larger taumber of young people trying as haré to throw off ignorance of every kind than may be found in Mound Bayou. In respect of this, we may as well ob ‘serve here that nowhere in the south are there wider or more inviting oppor. tenities for solid men, business men professional men, farmers and me ebankes, than are offered in Mound Ba. you. The commmmity needs a good den tist, It needs a firat-class undertaker, ‘and an architect could locate there and enjoy a good and lucrative business whhin a forty mile territory in ether rection, We have heard that 2 co ogebitiive | stotd: Gi rsecd "Y> ‘be apbted dat a shoe store would psy, and a bar ness maker will find moch to da A contractor with capital sufficient to oper ate a Jumber yard would be kept busy from Clarksdale straight through to Merigold, and farmers in search of good lanid, excellent markets, and every free dom and privilege, will find Mound Ba. you unexcelled as a home for their chil- dren and as 2 center for their products. The communnity has now in course of erection 2 $100,000 oi! mill, the stock of which the Negroes of Mississippi ought speedily to buy un There are four cot ton gins, one saw mill and other fac- tones in course of erection, In all the south there 1s no better farming land. The best cotton soil in /3 cotton country 13 to be found in Boh- var county where a bale to the acre 1s a common sight This land offers ao opportunity for an mvestment that will double its value in 25 years There is need of capital to develop the resources of the territory of which Mound Bayou 1s the flourishing capital. In no com- munity within the range of our acquain- tance can there be found so many solid men as Mound Bayou may claim as citi zens. There is not a talker among them, they are all doers of the word.

From M. Julias Kahn straight through the lists of those that fought for San Francisco as the Panama Exposition city tts very well known that without the as- sistance of the leading Negroes of the country, who cheerfully followed the leadership of Tae Ace, San Francisco could not have won. New Orleans had all the argument insofar as it dwelt up- on its physical pre-eminence, but that is all, ‘The resentment felt by intelligent Negroes against the heaping insults vis- ited by New Orleans upon her colored population, found expression in their newspapers and in hundreds of letters that poured in on the Washington states. men Those letters told. The management of the Exposition out m San Francisco, we trust, will give instant evidence of appreciation with re- spect to the support given it by colored men. One of the ways to show this appreciation is not only to invite the co-operation of three or four distin- guished colored men from the nation, but to invite the help and co-operation of prominent colored Calfornians in preparing and directing the work. The editors of the Sunshine and the Westerm Outlook and Robert C.

First of all, there was in evidence the usual galaxy of amusement lovers representing the best element of the race. Then, beautiful women, hand somely gowned, and members of the male sex, who appeared faultlessly at- tired, gave sufficient color to the scene to furnish inspisation to some of out artists who ofttimes, when desirous. of material, find their imagination playing truant or dull and listless. Tam frequently asked f I ever at- tempt to describe costumes worn by members of the fair sex on such auspt- cious ocastons as the “Pre-Lenten.” | invariably reply that such a task is not for a writer of my caliber. but is an as- signment that should fall to the lot of a dressmaker, and an up-to-date one at that. To my way of thinking, noth- ’ y Fa } ing much more exactmg could be de manded of a man than to have him speak intelligently, as well as minutely, of embroidered chiffon, crepe de chine, messaline, marquisette and spangled net, to say nothing of his trying moments in trying to accurately differentiate be- tween such colors as Alice blue. tur- quotes blue, Helen pink, coral, ete. As for myself, my ambition does net run in that direction. Successful Debut of Miss Alexander. But to the musical and Iterarv pro- gram of the evening The chief interest Centered in the Eastern debut of Miss Perle Alexander, of St Toms, a young lady who 18 the possesw:r af a soprano voice and who 1s taking 1 cisr-e im vocal culture at Howard Umiversity As Miss Alexander hails from my native heath, and T have had the pleasure of hearing her before, 1 wil make the <ame predic. tion relative to her artistic future that I did about three sears age: that was she will sume dav rank high as a so: Prano soloist Miss Alexander was applauded with- out stint after each number, but in fair- ness to her I must confess that had she tendered some of the little numbers she used to sing in St lous, she would have caused more tightly buttoned gloves to burst from strenuous hand- clapping. While she has improved as an artist, and to-day gives evidence of deing a student, yet her selections were a trifle weighty At her Eastern debut Miss Alexander pursued a similir course as adopted bs Most young singers who came to New York. They seem to think that the average New Yorker is so eritical ir make-up that marked attention 1s. paid to the technique of an artist and that melody plays a minor part Acting tnder such an assumption, many of out young singers appear in selections bar ten of melody. but pregnant with ev: dences of their mechanical skill Tf our ambitious vocalists would onl stop to consider that in an affair Suck as Riven at the “Pre-Lenten” that nin out of every ten attend with a view to being entertained, ind not te eritiens seriously the merits and demerits of singer, they would overcame. what consider a grievous error The penpl want to he entertained, and the combi nation formed by a pond voice anil melodious number usually proves a win ning one Jadging from the seteetions used Miss Alexander. such as “Sempr Libera” (Traviata), by Verdi, she sere ously considers herself a coloratun singer and nothing else On the even ing of the recital she indulged in aria lore True che made a very fivarabl Geressinn ww her armactental passages roulades, embellishments, ete. and yet fone hittle hwht number, eurcharged witl melody, would have filled the achiny void. Now, I may he eriticised hy some o looking with disfavor on “higher edu cation,” but there ure cs many. thing ‘on which we. aa race are superficial quite often overlanking the. fundamen tals on which we should build in orde to reach a higher round on the laddet Of material development There an Tittle songs, purely racial, which appea fo us all, no matter how advanced ou musical education--songs that coule have been sung at the “Pre Lenten”— numbers where technique could have also played a prominent part. Mr. Jeter a Coming ‘Cellist. Mr JL. Jeter, ‘cellist, was another coming young artist who gave a good account of himself upon his first visit to New York A tonsorial artist once informed me that it took a first-class barber to do a good job with bad tools, but any kind of a barber could do a good job with good tools. I presume the same rule apphes to musicians. Mr Jeter demonstrated that he was a good musician, for his commendable work was done by means of an instrument which was not of tHe best Mr. Jeter is deserving of nothing but praise for his work on the ‘cello, his execution in particular. Mr G W Tarrant, a young baritone anger, contributed ‘several selections during the evening Mr. Tarrant showed that he 1s a trained singer and knows hint to use hus voice However, he has a tendency to sing off the key, a fault which he should net have much trouble in remedying Ac for stage presence, Mr Tarrant’ reminds one of an old- tumer ‘At the Pre-Lenten Recital it would have been lke eating a meal without topping it off with dessert had not Mr. Richard B Harrison appeared on the program and entertained in recitations. For several seasons. Mr. Harrison has ‘been coming to New York and his previous efforts ac a reader bave made him a decided favorite in this city Although Mr Harrison bears distinc- tion of being the leading reader of his race, he still strives to improve, and at last week's recital an improvement was noted in several instances, It is doubted if any comedian could have provoked more laughs in hic reciting of Dunbar’s “The Party.” and he was also humorous in “When Mihndy Sings* and “The Rivals” In his rendition of Dunbar’s works, Mr Harrison could pay a httle more ‘attention to dialect. His first piece, Service's, “The Crematiof of Sam McGee" elicited several rounds of ap- plause Melvsle Charlton, as usual, did him- soli proud as accompanist. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE.
