OFFICIALS MAY BE INDICTED True Reformers Shortage May Be Brought Before Grand Jury RECEIVERS MAKE REPORT Thousands of Dollars Misappropriated From Bank and Grand Fountain is Held Liable HILL IS SHORT $30,000 Failure of Bank Due Mainly to Gross Negligence, Mis management and Use of Bank's Funds by Grand Fountain. Special to THE NEW YORK ANN. Richmond, Va., May 30 —The report of the receivers of the Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers which was filed in the Chancery Court last week, has created a sensation in fraternal circles. Since the findings of the receivers have been known, showing that large sums of money belonging to the order had been misappropriated by individuals for their personal use, members everywhere have made known that they are in a disagreeable mood and intend to punish the culprits. Already there is some talk of having some of the officers indicted by the grand jury. It is claimed that Cashier R. T. Hill, who has been missing for over a month is $30,000 behind in his accounts. That thousands and thousands of dollars of the order's money have been squandered is a piece of information now generally known. Although all of the officers are not personally implicated in the misappropriation of funds, the talk going the rounds is city is that an effort will be made to try the blame on each and every one. Among those who will be asked to testify in court will be Counsellor Gites B. Jackson William L. Taylor, W. P. Burrell, A. W. Holmes, W. L. Anderson, R. T. Hill, J. C. Robinson and Edward Ellis Jr. Accounting Asked For. The True Reformer, the official organ of the order, refers to the receivers' report in part as follows: "The receivers for the Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, Messrs Wm. A. Monure and Edwin Pileher, filed their report on last Wednesday, and contrary to expectations, put the blame of the bank's failure on the credit extended to the various branches of business supported by the Grand Fountain and the peculations of Casher R T Hill and Mrs Agnes B Reese his bookkeeper. "It is recommended that a strict accounting be had with the Grand Fountain from the time of the organization of the bank. It is stated that while the bank had large sums on deposit, and was apparently prosperous, it had but few of the ordinary loans and discounts of a profitable nature, but had loaned a large part of its funds on small security and with interest to various branches of the Grand Fountain, especially the Reformer Mercantile and Industrial Association. "Some banks is held out to the depositors through the listing of a large amount of real estate in many cities belonging both to the bank and to other branches of the order. The value of this real estate can only be approximated. "A special report shows that on the day the receivers took charge of the bank, Oliver Hill attempted to deposit certain of the bank's funds in the Broad Street Bank, F Richmond, and did deposit $10,146 in the First National Bank Judge Grinnan entered an order directing the First National Bank to the cause why this money had not been turned over to the receivers on demand. Hill Made False Entries. "The receivers report that from an examination of the books it is shown that R T Hill, cashier of the bank, obtained from the bank "by false entries and erasures on his personal account, and by failure to charge himself with checks which he drew on the bank, the bank so obtained, twenty four checks, aggregating $1,072.02 appear to have been paid by him to Giles B Jackson." The receivers say that it is due to Jackson to state that the last item of $1,000 received from Hill was properly received by him, to be used as Hilla attorney "But as to the other items," the report continues "the receivers are unable to learn for what purpose the money was paid Jackson or how used." The report goes on. From the investigation by your receivers they are of the opinion that the disaster that came to the bank in due largely to the uses made by the Grand Pountain, United Order of True Reformers, the funds for Grand Pountain purposes, and to the great negligence and mismanagement of the officers of the bank to such an extent as to render them personally liable for such negligence and mismanagement. Funds Diverted The funds of the bank appear to have been used when needed for any department of the Grand Foundation and of the Reformed West. cantile and Industrial Association and for the Old Folks' Home. No interest was actually paid by any of these departments for the money so used. While the bank apparently had large sums of money on deposit, there was always a comparatively small amount of money loaned out to borrowers in the region, and frequently the income of the bank from interest on loans was very small. When notes of the Reformers' Mercantile and Industrial Association were given to the bank on July 1, 1910, there was an entry made of interest amounting to $116,648.85. Four receivers and one opinion the opinion that the land and paper and directors of the bank, who are the officers and directors of the Grand Fountain, and the Grand Fountain are liable to the bank for the losses it has sustained by the diversion of the funds for the promotion of the various departments of the direct control of the Grand Fountain. Grand Fountain Liable. Your receivers recommend to the court that a strict accounting be had between the bank and the Grand Fountain from the organization of the bank down to and including the 26th day of October, 1910, when the bank was closed, and the bank being opened. The Grand Fountain to all of the departments appearing on the books of the bank be ascertained, together with the responsibilities of the Grand Fountain for the expenditures of the bank's money, especially the finance department of the Grand Fountain, the expense fund, the old Folks from the Department, the Hotel Department and Real Estate Departments." Inventory of Assets "Accompanying the report is an extended inventory of the assets of the insolvent bank, as of the date of the receivership. October 26 1910, showing among other items: Cash, $4,173.37; tickets, $143.85; overdrafts, $10,917.92; bills receivable, $36,717.44; notes of Reformers' Mercantile and Industrial Association, partly secured on real estate, $326,939.98, other notes, $2,72.12, loans secured by death claims, $281.75 "Then follows a list of real estate, with descriptions of lots in Danville and Richmond and real estate standing in the name of the Reformers' Mercantile and Industrial Association in Staunton, Cincinnati, Claremont, Va., Washington, D. C., Louisville and Hampton As an illustration of high finance it is stated in the report that the Washington lot, lot 140,000.00 that was used by the officers of the bank in statement furnished the receivers, at $0,000.00, and as subject to a first mortgage of $25,000.00 and of a second mortgage of $44,484. "Real estate is also reported standing in the name of the Grund Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, in Lynchburg, Portsmouth, Alexandria, Norfolk, Richmond, Ashland, Manchester, Baltimore, Roanoke, all have a considerable value, though the receivers do not at this time undertake to place a market value on the real estate holdings. "A detailed report is made of discrepancies and false entries made in the account of R. T Hill on the checking side of his account, dating back to November 23, 1904, and aggregating $16,428.06, while similar false entries are reported to have been made by Hill on the deposit side of his account, amounting in the aggregate to $15,291.32. False entries and discrepancies are reported in the account of Mrs. Agnes B Reese on the checking side amounting to $816. The items showing discrepancies in Cashier Hill's accounts occupy several pages of close typewriting, showing that the defoliation has been going on systematically every week. Four methods, the report shows in some instances that checks were not charged, that items were changed on the ledger, or erased from the ledger, accounts not entered on the day book, or the amount of the deposit increased, either on the deposit slip, before posting, or on the ledger." TO SPEAK AT HARVARD Special to THE NEW YORK AQR Cambridge, Mass. May 30—An announcement is made that Harvard Union, the largest and most popular of Harvard University student organizations, has extended an invitation to Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, to speak at the university in November coming. The list of those invited to speak before the Union during the coming year is unusually large and representative. Tuskegee, Ala., May 30.-Sheriff W C. Daniels, of Macon County, Ala., in which the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is located, reports that at the commencement exercises of Tuskegee Institute, held on May 25, although there were at least six thousand colored people on the school grounds during the day, he did not make a single arrest, nor did he find a single disorderly or intoxicated man or woman among the six thousand. RACE PREJUDICE IN NAVY. Newport, R. I., May 30.—The New England African Methodist Episcopal Conference voted here Saturday to advise the Secretary of the Navy "that there has come to our knowledge that there exists at navy recruiting stations an impossibility for Negroes to enlist except as coal passers or mess attendants, that the Negro is discriminated against aboard the receiving ships Hancock at New York and Franklin at Norfolk, that on several battleships the Negro is segregated and that he has no opportunity to parade or rise. It is petitioned that these conditions be investigated." NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1911. KENTUCKY NEGRO VOTERS ARE WITH GOV. WILLSON KENTUCKY NEGRO VOTERS ARE WITH GOV. WILLSON Both Parties Torn Asunder by Bitter Political Differences E. T. Frank Advocates Law Giving Governor the Right to Remove Officers for Failure to Protect Prisoners. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Louisville, Ky., May 30—The State of Kentucky is in the midst of a red-hot political campaign, both parties being torn asunder by factional squabbles. The primaries are soon to be held, and closely following these will come the state conventions. While great interest centers about the contest for the United States Senatorship, there is no little excitement over the fight for the gubernatorial honors in both Republican and Democratic ranks. Gov Willson, a Republican and a partisan, while not taking any open stand for either of the candidates, is supposed to be in control of the party machinery, and his man, as yet unannounced, will most likely win the nomination. The colored voters are, to a man, loyal to Gov Willson, and prepared to follow his lead. Republicans of all shades of opinion have become deeply interested in the candidacy of E. T. Franks, of Owensboro, who opened his campaign with a remarkably able speech at Barbourville last week. Mr Frank announced as his platform progress and peace in Kentucky and opposition to mob law His outspoken attitude with respect to the mob has won for him not only the sympathy and support of colored Republicans but the applause of the great independent vote of the state, led usually by Watterone's Courter-Journal Says Prisoners Should Get Better Protection. Mr. Frank, dealing with mob-rule in Kentucky, said "There should be a change in our laws relative to mobs. Better protection should be given to persons accused of crime, whether such persons are in jail or in the hands of arresting officers. It is a practice all too common in Kentucky for men to hand themselves together, generally under cover of darkness, and take from the officers of the law persons accused of offenses more or less grave and put them to death. It is not necessary for me to cite special or particular cases, but every reader of the newspapers knows that such murders are common, resulting in the punishment of the accused without semblance of the trial which our Constitution and laws guarantee to every man. "I favor a law giving the Governor the right, under certain conditions, to remove from office any officer or jailer who shall permit a mob to take from such officer or from the jail any prisoner charged with any crime whatever." "This will do more to break down the mob spirit in Kentucky than any other law that can be placed on our statute books. If an officer knows that he will lose his place if he does not protect his prisoner he will shoot before giving up that prisoner, and if the mob believes the officer will shoot ninety-one out of every hundred mobs would be jailed soiously before making a attempt. Such a law would away with the necessity of sending troops all over the State to guard prisoners and witnesses during criminal trials, and it would aid materially in convincing the outside world that Kentucky will enforce the law without fear or favor. "First, and before everything else in the world, must come law and order. Fewer mobs and less of the mob spirit and the certain and unsparing enforcement of the law will convince the world that we mean what we say, and then we shall get men and money from everywhere. Money and men joined together make business, and when we shall have them 'Old Kentucky' will blossom as the rose. You may talk good roads, and we must have them; you may talk of better schools, and they must come; you may talk about revising our tax system, and it must be revised, but the first thing to talk and the first thing to have is obedience to the law. Nominate and elect men who believe in the enforcement of the law, and make the world know that you have begun a crusade for law and order, and all these other things will come." The colored Republicans in this state have many leaders, but at the proper time they manage to get together and work together. RAILROAD MEN ORGANIZE The Amalgamated Railroad Employees Association is the name of the organization recently founded by the Pennsylvania Red Caps, with the follow officers: Ulysses Reed, president; W. S. Coles, financial secretary; A. L. Hughes, treasurer, and G. N. Williams, recording secretary.

Among those delivered addresses during the day was I Frank Wheaton of New York grand exalted ruler of the order NEW PASTOR SPEAKS The Rev. Dr W P. Hayes Delivers Sermon at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church on "Witnesses of Christ." "Witnesses of Christ" was the subject of the sermon preached last Sunday by the Rev Dr W P Hayes, minister in charge of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. Using as his text "Ye shall be witnesses unto Me," the Rev Dr Hayes said. The connection in which these words were spoken is more or less familiar to every student of the New Testament. The disciples had all to follow the New Teacher and had contended their thoughts to Him as the restorer of Israel. They had witnessed the stirring songs of the trial and crucifixion of their Lord and were no doubt, nonplussed at the strange dissimilarity between His experiences and their cherished conceptions of Israel. Messiah. They stood ashes as the bloody executioners called their King to the transverse Roman Empire to fulfill all their annotations were forever blasted. His resurrection from the dead however remained to reawaken their interest in Him and in the Lord, which they had cherished during the years they were with Him. Ignorant to the very last of the real mission of their Messiah, which they had in an inexperienced longing for the deliverance of their souls, they unfortunate nation, they sought to know if at that time the Kingdom of Israel should be on the occasion of our Lord's reply to this inexplicable query, that the words of the text were spoken. "It is not for you to know the times and seasons, which the Father hath put in His priesthood in the power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Babel, and unto the aftermost part of the earth." The word "witness" is a forensic term, and as used in our courts of law, designates the evidence he shall give in the case of the evidence he shall give in the case of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. He does not attest the prescribed legal formula and at once places the witness under a most sacred obligation to relate truthfully all the deeds, the disciples, who were His constant associates during His ministry, and who were in a position to render valuable assistance to the enemy, who often unprepared to do them, later deeds proved. Peter, the one to whom the keys of the Kingdom had been delivered in the thought of bringing his Lord as repugnant any knowledge of the man, even before he reached the court room. The other disbelief in the authority and soon their Master was left to face the enemy in the agony of looseness. He had no need in that awful hour for earthly wilderness.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Tuskegee, Ala., May 30—This year marked the thirtieth annual commencement of Tuskegee Institute, which was the most successful in the history of the famous institution, 259 diplomas from all departments of the school were awarded to 178 different students. The exercises began May 21 and closed on May 25. On Commencement Day over six thousand Negroes were on the institute grounds. One of the features of the commencement was the unique and practical character of the exercises which greatly pleased Commencement Day was entirely given over to exercises of the graduating class, and was divided into two sessions. Away back in 1895 Tuskegee departed from the traditional stereotyped commencement, and instead of having her youthful graduates deliver declamations on "Our Future—What Shall It Be?" and "A Trip to China in 1895," began to have cows and horses and hammers and trowels brought upon the platform where the young men and women could demonstrate to the audience some of the things they had learned during their stay at the school. The exercises this year were of this same practical nature. The salutatory, "The Care and Feeding of Cows for Milk Production," was delivered by Acie Jones, of Thomasville, Georgia. He told in a simple, straightforward way of the things he had learned in the Dairying Division of the school. By way of illustration, he had two cows brought upon the stage—one a fine Jersey, and the other a poor or "scrub" cow. Before he finished he convinced his hearers that the Jersey, though the more costly of the two cows in the beginning, was by far the better investment owing to her superior milk producing qualities. He then given the proceedings by the salutatorian was followed throughout both sessions. Jesse Thomas, a graduate in carpentry, told about the building of a closed stairway He had a working model brought on the stage, and explained the work in detail. Flora Boaz then spoke on "The Negro Dressmaker in Her Community," Her tolk was illustrated also. Industrial Exhibits Interesting. Previous to the adjournment for dinner the alumni address was delivered by Benjamin H Barnes, of Tuscaloosa, Ala. The afternoon session opened at 2.30 with an industrial exhibit in full swing on the platform in the chapel. Carpenters, brickmasons, painters, steamfitters and other artisans were all at work playing their trades. The place was a regular hive of industry for about ten minutes.

Felder from United States Court if He Used the Word IS SEVERELY REPRIMANDED Felder Told American Judiciary Would Not Tolerate Use of Such Language in Presence of Courts of Justice Macon, Ga., May 30—Members of of the legal fraternity throughout the country are discussing the severe rebuke administered Thomas B. Felder, Attorney-General-elect of Georgia, by Judge Emory Speer of the United States Court, for using the word "nigger." Judge Speer became so provoked at Felder's constant use of the word that he threatened the Attorney-General-elect with disbarment unless he conducted himself in a more gentlemanly manner. Felder is counsel for several white planters who are under indictment for peonage. Last Saturday in outlining the case to the jury Felder repeatedly referred to the colored plaintiff as "nigger." Finally Judge Speer said. "Mr. Felder, don't you think the future Attorney-General of the State of Georgia can spare us this 'nigger, nigger, nigger?' It sounds so unworthy of a great court of justice and so unworthy of your own justice that he be allowing to these poor unfortunate creatures constantly in the lower terms of degradation." Felder replied hotly: "I think I know my duties and rights as a lawyer, an American lawyer practising in an American court." Judge Speer retorted: "You are exceeding those rights, and if you continue on this line and insist upon using this language, which is nothing but an appeal to the lowest race prejudice, I will have to severe our relations not only in this case but in all cases in this court. I do not believe the American judiciary will tolerate the use of such language in the presence of a court of justice on the part of a gentleman who as a condition precedent to his admission to the bar has sworn to support the Constitution and laws of the United States Now I do not wish to do anything of the sort, but I do beg of you to use the language of which I know you are capable, the language of a cultivated gentleman, and save us this never ending 'nigger, nigger, nigger.' I want you to act as becomes a lawyer in this court." Felder ignored Judge Speer's final remarks and resumed his address, but did not again use the word "nugger." SHERIFF LOSES OFFICE Supreme Court Justice Simpson of Alabama Condemnation Sheriff Who Permitted Lynching of Negro—Sheriff of Bullock County Compelled to Surrender Office as the Result of Impachment Proceedings. Special to THE NEW YORK AQR Montgomery, Ala., May 30 — The Supreme Court of the State of Alabama, in an opinion handed down last Thursday, decided that P. W. Jinwright, Sheriff of Bullock County, Alabama, should surrender his office. This was the result of impeachment proceedings brought against him for neglect of duty in permitting Aberdeen Johnson, a Negro charged with rape, to be taken from the Bullock County Jail and lynched by a mob Sunday, April 2. The decision of the Supreme Court follows closely upon the heels of a ringing statement made this week by Dr. Booker T. Washington in the Montgomery Times, condemning in strong words the eight lynchings which occurred in different sections of the South last Sunday. The opinion of Chief Justice R. R. Simpson is a scathing rebuke to Sheriff Jinwright because of his direction of duty. "It matters not that the prisoner may have been guilty of the most revolting crime known to our laws" he writes, "the net wave of popular frenzy might deprive of his life one who, upon proper investigation, would be found to be innocent. "It is vain for us to write in our constitution that cherished heritage of English-speaking people, that all persons accused of crime shall have a right to a public trial, by an impartial jury, and shall not be deprived of life, liberty or property, except by due process of law, if our government cannot or will not enforce it. A law not enforced is not law at all. The sheriff who defends his prisoner from violence is defending the constitution of his State, and perchance the lives, the liberty and the happiness of his own family." Dr. Wisher's New Charge The Rev. Dr. D. Wahar, former pastor of Mt. Olist Baptist Church and the Bapst sample in this city, accepted the honor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in West Philadelphia. The membership of the church is 800. Union Baptist Church. At 11 a.m. our pastor was at his post of duty, a splendid large audience heard the sermon. The sermon was in memory of the dead salute. The subject was the Congregation of the Dead visitor to the Aula of Philadelphia and Rev Duther, ex pastor of St. James's Prebysterian Church. At 2 p.m. the Sunday School was largely attended. The missionary circle at 4 p.m. and the B. Y. at 5:30 p.m. and the crowd at 7:30 p.m. The Ladies Auxiliary of the United Banquet Club turned out for their Thanksgiving sermon. The church was crowded. The sermon to the society was on "The Banner of Love." E. A. Jackson, the organist, was art graduate. No under Dr. Frand Barrosch. He passed with high marks in the following subjects. Piano, History of Music, Theory of Music, Right Singing, Ear Training, Bro. Jack, son is a very brilliant young man. He is in music, assisted by his dear mother, having lost his father when he was six months old. St. Mark's Lyceum. The annual poetical content and concert of the St. Mark's Lyceum last Thursday night was not as largely attended as was expected, but the program was a major success, won by Mrs Ardley Taylor, the second prize, a silver medal, was awarded to Herbert Martin. The judges who were members of the faculty of Columbia University, were so well pleased with the effort of the students in the book, which will be furnished by them. Mme. Carrie Bland Shelter and Miss Marguerite Avery and a chorus from the Floral Circle of the church furnished the musical entertainment. R. Richardson was master tremolon. The Lyceum will continue its Thursday and Sunday afternoon exercises throughout the month of June. Mrs. Dabney has been appointed chairman of the Ladies Anillary of the Lyceum and in addition H. Brundy is now in full charge of the musical department. Abysinian Baptist Church. There was a great patriotic service at the Abyssinian Baptist Church last Sunday evening. Members of the Thaddaeus Stevens Post and of the John Brown relief of the Abyssinian Military Corps No. 1, Auxiliary to Post 255, and the Manhattan Fife and Drum Corps were there to hear their annual address which was delivered by Rev. Chyron the doctor who gave the character elements to the Character of John Brown." The speaker swelt upon the singleness of purpose, courage and faith in God, which characterised the life of Brown. The audience went wild with the excitement of his address with a description of the great change that John Brown's death wrought in six years and which finally ended in the emancipation of the American Negro. Soldiers of the audience stood and waved their hoods back while the choir sang John Brown's hymn. At a recent meeting of the B Y P U of the Abyssinian Baptist Church the following officers were elected to serve the ensuing year: Warren Wiley, president; James Smith, secretary; Willia, recording secretary; Mrs. James Wilkina, financial secretary, Mrs. Minkle Ackew, corresponding secretary, Mrs. Lucy A.

The Sabath School was interesting as usual. The retreat by Elder William Brown was successful. Elder Brown has the largest class in the Sunday school. The school was favored with a very pleasant address. Christian Endeavor meeting was a splendid one; many excellent recitations were given. The evening service Rev Engene A. Johnson preached a very scholarly sermon to an appreciative audience Many old friends were out to greet Rev Johnson, among those to greet him were his mother, widowed wife and also Mrs. T.

There are almety thousand colored people in this city and there are many churches, but there is only one established church of the A. M. E. denomination. Bethel Church, the first church to enroll about two thousand members. There are two little missions in upper New York which have enrolled one hundred and fifty each. These missions use storerooms for places of worship and it is about all the churches in New York to pay their rent and bring into the conference enough dollar money to get by. Two months' rent arrears and the storeroom is closed and the mission has to begin over. The church is the shameful history of the A. M. E. propaganda Bishop Gaines, who founded the A. M. R. Church in Georgia and who is a daring leader, has decided to have three great churches in New York; one to meet the church leaders and another to meet the next side, and one on the west side. The project is not as daring as that undertaken by Dr. J. M. Henderson and his two hundred members when they migrated to 25th street and faced a mortgage and collateral and won success. Some months ago the Rev Dr J. M. Henderson wrote to Bishop Galen offering his services in upper New York. At the time he was a member of the congregation signed him to Huthel Chapel, 230 West 632 street. There are about one hundred and fifty members enrolled. The congregation crowds the present place of worship. An annual meeting of the Council through Bishop Galen, Dr M. W. Beckett, secretary of missions; the presiding elder, the Mr. Styles, and the pastor, Dr J. M. Henderson, for assistance in securing property, and founding a church on the grounds of the former church, which hundred could be gathered in one year under good conditions. Walters Extols Zion. The 115th anniversary celebration was entered into joyously by a large number of members and friends Sunday at Mother Bla. Bishop Alexander Walters, D. D., bishop of the Third Episcopal District, preached at the morning and evening services. At the morning text was the last of the late of the text more than all the late of Jacob." Psalm 87:2; these, "Sovereignty of God." His introductory remarks were a narration of historical events of the world 115 years ago. He showed that the Catholicism brought a crisis in the life of the thinking nations of the world, and that there was a general upheaval in the minds of men. In this bursting forth of new energies men of genius in various walks of life were brought to a new level of hope to human effort. He said among these things which were coming to peace was the founding of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church here in New York City by James Varlick and others. The Methodist Episcopal Zion shows that the plans of human sentiment makes for another world empire and a religious dictator were miscarried, and that God in those days raised up men who would go on in them as the apostles of Noah in the city of God if founded and belonged to Him, the heirs of glorious promises. It is to be the autumn of the "universal kingdom of God into which all nations shall be incorporated into the same mother city of the world. As a demonstration we do not attempt to do the Psalm to ourselves alone. the preaching group in our town, the church was the first counted organization to speak out against slavery; if encouraged men and women to escape from slavery, they were shelter for public and private schools. It justly claims the honor of giving opportunities to many distinguished colored men and women notable among them as preachers, teachers, and local preacher of Zion; Mrs. Harriet Tubman, famous as an underground railroad worker; the late J. C. Price, the matchless orator; Sliceret H. C. Price, the international singers; the far-famed Booker T. Washington, whose great school (the noted Tuskegee) was founded in a Zion Church; an ex-Congresman, Hon. George B. Bacon, the international singer, Bishop James W. Hood. In the afternoon Rev. R. B. Cannon of Bethel A. M. b. church, and a large number of his members worshiped with us. Rev. Hanson spoke from the theme, "The grace of God is the power that much of the confusion with the affairs of men was due to the fact that did not seek support in their measures from the most trustworthy persons or things. Experience has taught all people the importance of Jesus for counsel, direction, encouragement and strength always received even more than they expected. At the close of the sermon one united with the church. After prayer Rev. Hanson with his members, the congregation, the Sunday School and Christian Endeavor had interesting sessions. Mme. M. Johnson had an excellent program at the Price Lycum with some of her pupils from Newark, N. J. The solos, vocals by the band, will be the bell be by Granville Johnson were well rendered. At the evening service, the church was again filled to listen to the closing sermon of the day by Bishop Waltrath. Bishop Waltrath told the fact that this was a memorial service in honor of our beloved dead. Deacon Eato called the roll and read the history of the organization of the oldest class in the Church. Bishop Waltrath spoke from the theme, "The good effects of a good life once in the life of Samuel, and the evil effects of a bad life seen in the life of Ell, the high priest." All should give the very highest and best service so that the closing scenes of their lives might bespeak for a glorious immortality. After speaking of some commemorative events in the history of the recently deceased members of the church. The collection for the day amounted to $300 for the celebration with the most important in the history of the church. Pastor Waltrath will be in charge of the services next Sunday which will be the closing of the anniversary. Bishop Waltrath will be present the second Sunday in June and confirm all the new members of the church. Louis I. J.

CHILDREN'S MAY WALK. 99th Street Mission Affords Children of That Neighborhood Time of Their Lives. Last Saturday 99th street was given a fine treat when the children of the 99th Street Mission a branch of St. Trypanica, turned out for its first annual May walk. The children were headed by Roy Floarda Howard with his two assistants, Mr. Garrett and Mr. Walker, of the General Theological Seminary, with a police escort, came the Excelsior Brass Band led by Captain Dillon. Then boys dressed as clowns, princes, kings and pirates, three years old dressed as Tom Thumb and wife, who brought forth loud applause from the onlookers. Then came some other boys dressed as clowns, princes, kings and pirates. Uncle Sam, wife, a number of Indians and cowboys carrying an immense American flag float. Then a large king and queen, Florence Toller and Pierre St. Clair, under a canopy of honor carried in a horse and a rose, represented an American flag. Then two lines of cowboys and rough rider girls and ladies in jubilee skirts. Next a little king and queen with attendants and mails of honor under a flag. Then the Japanese girl, under a brella float. Then the Dutch chiccled paper dolls and bell girls, and star girls. Next the May pole with flower girls holding the streamers. Then came the doctors, and paper dolls. Last came the fairies, Mary bors and girls. Proceeding to Central Park the little ones spent a most delightful day, being re-educated in the wiches supplied by Henry Witte and Rev. Mr. Howard. Mrs. Sidie Hardy and Mr. Howard gave great credit for affording the neighborhood such a fine treat to be remembered. Quakers See a Mistrial. Regular Correspondence of The Age. Philadelphia, Pa., May 31.—On Thursday, May 25, the Professional Club of this city held a mock trial and dance. The case taken from the court records was that of a woman who poisoned her two children in order to obtain the insurance. The children were fed oatmeal containing arsenic and died within two days of each other. The defense tried to prove that the children died from pomaine poisoning caused by eating some salmon which had been allowed to stand in the can. The Hon. George H. White presided as Judge. The lawyers for the commonwealth were John W. Parks, Esq, and Wm. H. Fuller, Esq.; the defense, George Edward Dickerson, Esq, and Charles F. White, Esq. Dr Grace Dulgulw was the defendant and proved a star witness. Once during the trial Lawyer Fuller was threatened with contempt of court for interfering with the district attorney in his examination of witnesses. The attorneys brought forward so many technicalities and delayed the case so long that it finally had to be thrown out as a mistrial by Judge White in order to allow the people to dance.

ADVERTI E IN THE NEW YORK AGB NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL CITY Schools of Washington Soon to Close After Successful Year—Assistant Superintendent Bruce Makes Report Which Embodies Many Recommendations. Begar Correspondence of THE AGR. Washington, D. C. May 31. The schools of the capital are about to bring their sessions to a successful close after what is regular notable at their organization. The year has been marked by spirited officials and their corps and harmony has prevailed throughout the entire season. The report of superintendent of the charge of honored schools is to the Bruce, is indicative program. Mr. first reports in his new report the criteria outlined by him previously suggesting that the Normal school course be lengthened to four years, that the graduates of the Normal school be appointed to the two grade instead of to the first or second that a system of promotional examinations be introduced, that there be a colored supervisor of manual training and a colored director of intermediate training, suggested by the assistant superintendent in regard to the appointment of young college men and women in the high schools that it is mistaken policy to fill vacancies occurring in these schools, tried either not or not the young students stand first on the list of eligible for appointment. He declares that the ironclad rule compelling the appointing officer to select for a vacancy that person who stands highest in a series of tests, ensuring the highest efficiency, which is the size quo non of any deeply organized school system. The report has to say on this point No 1 on the eligible list may be a person whose temperament, whose personal predilections, whose professional interests, one and all, make him distinctly less desirable as a teacher, as a street Wizard, as a Barman, as a Armstrong, as the case be than No 2. The objection to No 1 may be patent to the principal and his heads of department. I maintain that the welfare of the service demands that the principal be permitted freely to choose, say, any one of the staff, standardized on the appropri- tive list. And just this revision in the rule I earnestly recommend. It is argued by Mr Bruce that the Armstrong Manual Training School be speedily equipped as a technical high school and that as soon as possible the household arts shall be taught to the students. It is claimed that at present young graduates of the manual training school have a skill and facility in the handling of tools and machinery, but have developed no proficiency in any given trade or pursuit by reason of the nature of the work. At the M Street school it is pointed out, form 74 per cent of the aggregate, many of whom will marry in a few years and set up homes of their own, and sooner or later all will find that intelligent people home making and home building daily importance to themselves. Mr Bruce adds, however that M Street High School must always remain a high school of the literary type from which must continue to come bodies of young men and women with a high degree of professional service. One of the most important suggestions made in the new report is with regard to the development of the departmental plan of teaching in the seventh and eighth grades of the elementary schools.

CHICAGO HONORS GREEN Who Secured the Passage of the Bill Appropriating $100,000 For a New Army Hospital in Illinois —Coded Girl Wins Diamond Medal —Illinois Girl Runs for Ransom Regular Correspondence of The Acm Chicago, May 30—Hon. Edward D. Green has been receiving many hearty congratulations for having secured in the Illinois General Assembly the passage of the bill appropriating $100,000 for a new armory for the 8th regiment. The bill had a clean sweep in both houses, due to the assistance given by Senator Sam Ettleson, Noble Judal, and Col John R. Marshall, a site on the campus of the University Wabash as sequester. It was purchased by subscriptions and entertainments given by the regiment and the Ladies' Auxiliary Corps. The armory will be one of the most imposing in the city. Plans and specifications are in the hands of Col Marshall. The armory will be read by full and will be displayed in the lobby and his staff and many officers of the other given regiments in the state. The Fighth Regiment has always been a favorite in Chicago. It was mustered into the National Guard June 28, 1898, under Gov John R Tanner. The regiment saw service during the Spanish-American war and was mustered out of service of the United States Army on April 13, 1899. Six companies located here and connected with it is the famous 8th Regiment Rand. The citizens of Chicago, white and colored, are greatly pleased with the passage of the bill. The biggest function that has taken place in the city of Chicago for many a day was the testimonial banquet given Hon Edward D Green, Tuesday night of last week. More than 100 Sixth Regiment members were attended by most representative citizens of Chicago. P E Upshaw with a committee of six others were responsible for the affair. It is conceded that Mr Green has done more than any other representative that has gone to the legislature from the First District and in appreciation of his noble work in the interest of his race and country. He joined hands with the committee and attended the affair in large numbers. Dr A Wilberforce Williams acted as tourmaster. Previous to the serving of a nine course menu to the guests were entertained by two well-known singers. Later in the evening to whom subjects were assigned. The speakers were A N Sumsma Tillie Horn R Mosse and A Wesley Louise R Anders Maker R Jacks J Gray Linsen Col John R Marshall C Mason Oscar DePrant and R Rittsman. The last speaker was Mr Green.

The Sentimel of Pensacola, taking offense at The AG's persistence in its progress, and its servility only to the ways of truth, roundly abuses us and with hot indignation demands that 40th Street shall let the soft-soaping angels of "Negro Journalism" move up and down hereabouts without fear or restraint. That we purpose not to do, and no abuse allowed by easy-shoed Lewey to get on the crazy-quilt page of his napping sheet will change us in our determination to select our own correspondents, and to pursue our profession as those that made the profession pursued it,—not turning our pages over to prosperous and wholesale dealers in salves, balms and flattery, to whom the proper functions of a newspaper appear to be to make shallow men deep, little men big, and any man-great, at so much per make—God have mercy on the devil who doesn't "come across!" After running the pages of the premier book of abuse, and confusing the rights of difference with the privilege of deceit, the Sentmel goes drunk upon this mixture of poetastery, hope, despair and folly. Rather than rile our fathers" (stic) in a combat with the lordly peacock of 46th street, or disturb for a moment the politically heavy plumage, we would invite Brothers Moore and Simmons to rest their verdure-tinted orbs upon the glories of the Florida rose, inhale the fragrance of the dahlia, and bathe their fevered bows in the sparkling ambrosia of Poetastery. Like the bare Balm of Gilead comes down with the sweet undulation and plentious volume that characterized the Waters at Lodore. A free ticket to Concy Island for the first answer to that riddle; and, if he hets foot on Gotham soil, a sentence to Bloomungdale for the pen-monger who perpetrated it, for many in "journalism" are due in the asylum. The Deliverer of Mexico, Diaz Since 1876, when he overthrew despotism, and set up a government of peace and prosperity Diaz, whose other name is Mexico, has remained the great force in the ever widening life of his country, and is now and always the moving figure in the history of all republics. The power that brought him hence, rose against him. He threw himself not against that power, but with a wonderful exhibition of unselfishness and patriotism, howed before it, retiring from a seat which he had honored and adorned for more than a quarter of a century. The course pursued by Diaz reads like a chapter from the Dreams of Justice. "President Porfirio Diaz is dead! Long live Crown Porfirio Diaz shouted loyal and elquent Aspe, amid deafening shouts. So say all The "just impression" craved by Diaz before he is claimed by the grave may come sooner and in a manner not now forseen, and, too, Mexico may yet weep the folly of the present. This we know, Diaz is forever Mexico's greatest Man MAJOR R. R. MOTON The pleasing news has just reached THE ACE that Major R R Moton of the Hampton Institute is to be present at the coming Race's Congress in London this summer Major Moton will represent this country and his race with a degree of credit that will make us all proud There are few higher types of American citizenship than Major Moton, and we commend him in the highest degree to the people of Europe and Great Britain We commend him for his sanity, his poise, and his great success as an educator at the Hampton Institute We are quite sure that Major Moton will do whatever he can to promote the usefulness and the success of the Congress. The time has come when all the forces of the Negro race that have for their object the unselfish advancement of the people to unite and work together instead of against each other. We can all have our individual views as to religion, politics, business and the public welfare generally, and on these subjects we can differ as individuals and as organizations; still we can all pull together in accomplishing some general good. In pursuing this policy no individual or organization need lose self-respect or sink for a moment special ideas of what will best promote racial uplift. The matters which concern the race are so fundamental and important that there is no place just now for the little, narrow-minded, bigoted fellow We need, big, broad, generous men who can take a high, broad stand and work for the general betterment of all regardless of individual differences. We can accomplish vastly more by united effort than we can by scattered and disjointed effort. COMMISSIONER WALDO Mayor Gaynor feels that he knew what he was doing when he hung Cropsey on the police tree and picked Waldo to cut him down. The new commissioner is undoubtedly an able man, pretty thoroughly acquainted with the local situation and hard set against graft among the force. Other men before have also borne such a reputation. We wish him well because he has been honored by our great Mayor, who is running this town on a good scale, as everybody knows. We hear that Waldo is diseased with the virus of race prejudice. Our informant is a man of honor and a responsible gentleman. But for this we should call on the commissioner to give the city one or two dozens of colored policemen. We need them. The city needs them. The Negroes deserve that recognition, not from any political standpoint, but as taxpayers, citizens and good neighbors. We may not get this recognition now, but Waldo is who that we should not call on him for this small bit of simple justice. There should be no discrimination permitted in the police or any other department of the city government. We do not believe Mayor Gaynor will stand for a narrow management MRS. STOWE'S BIRTHDAY. We one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Harriet Beecher Stowe is almost upon us. We have met to honor the memory of Garrison, Summer, Whittier and others of the immoral band of freedom bearers, and so it all altogether hints and proper that we should prepare to honor the memory of Mrs. Stowe, who, as Lincoln said, brought on the Rebellion by putting an appeal to the heart of the nation in the simple language of *Unite Ion* Mary Church Lettrel made a statement some time ago with respect to a proper observance of the centennial—June 14. It should not be necessary to call upon all, the women particularly, to do all that they can do to properly celebrate the career of the great New England woman. New York is never behind in such matters, although we may not be as nasty as another city in these parts. What we do here we do out of grateful hearts, and with an eye single towards glorifying the dead, not the living, and with no thought of personal gain, either in the way of fame or advancement. The anniversary, we learn, will be held at St. James Church during the week of June 14. Mrs. Kesner, Mrs. Ransom, Miss Leonard, Mrs. Lawton, Mrs. Reed, and all the rest of the best neighborhood of women in the country, we expect to step in and do honor to her who, according to her own testimony, saw a vision and wrote a mighty book. GIVE A BOOK Several withdrawn. The New made an appeal to us to install the books for the Mound Bayou (Miss) Carnegie Public Library. Charles James introspects that several hundred books have been received and not at appeal. The library posts at least a thousand volumes in the at what it ought to be, or the people who are at a great distance in large numbers. It feels that the collection is too small. Withdrawal of the collection will be at the time of the withdrawal. Such a set of books would be of major value to the people, and remain a prominent feature. Mr. Carnegie gave the handling, let us give the books A CAROLINA IUDGE President Taft tried the vacancy in the Federal judging in South Carolina by the appointment of an eminent Charleston lawyer, T A M Smith, who we have on good authority has high standing at the bar, and will be an upright judge. The judiciary, we be have, should be beyond political contest but the country is growing the other way with alarming speed. If our eyes are faithful, along with the numerous "isms" now gripping the country, will come the recall of judges. And if the states adopt the recall, and the election of United States Senators is thrown under the influence of the states, we may see before another decade provision enacted for the recall of Federal judges. We make no extended comment upon the appointment of Judge Smith, for we know that if colored men, or white men for that matter, think him in any wise unfit, they will know what to do. What is very happy about the situation is this, John G. Caperna has long been hungry for a Federal judgeship. President Taft is to be congratulated on going to his betters to fill the first vacancy in South Carolina in many a year. WAYS OF PROGRESS. The National Organizer of the Business League has been touring the state oi Texas for several weeks, and he has been kind enough to furnish us with reports of his meetings. In addition to this information, leading business men of that great state have sent us data of first one kind, then the other. Two weeks ago we called attention to the progress that is being made by the Farmers' Bank at Waco, that was established through the efforts of Robert L. Smith. From all this we gather that Texas Negroes are in the ways of progress and that they are bending to their stride. Prejudice against them, abuse of them, denial of privileges and visitations of persecutions, have moved them not to bitterness, but to higher achievements. Their colleges are among the best, and for their own education they are contributing great sums of money, comparatively. Their churches are modern structures and their preachers worthy leaders of the people. Their newspapers are a credit to the race. They miss the mighty hand of Cuney, of course, but time will bring them all their rights with respect to political parties and public office, for they are building the foundations of the state. Organizer Moore did much among Texans to acquaint the people there with the progress of their brothers in other fields. The business men who will gather at the Little Rock convention in August will meet a host of progressive men from the Lone Star State, who will tell a moving story of struggle and triumph. From Oklahoma we may now hope to get additional evidence of progress among those who know that for us the South is the golden land of light and life. UNSEEMLY WAR In many of the smaller towns around New York City may be found colored people who are making satisfactory progress in home getting and church building. In almost every community may be found business men who have succeeded turn well and all kinds of organizations that are doing, in the main, good work for the social betterment. We have pride in all this, but there is one thing of which we complain Take any of the suburban communities within a radius of say forty miles. The town is divided into tactics, each taction having a leader, and each leader a consuming ambition to run the affairs of the community. Churches are sometimes bitter rivals, and the clubs, instead of fighting the common enemy, fight each other, thus robbing the people of that kind of help that they need in the struggle they are making to get a foothold. The organizing of one Building and Loan Association usually means an invitation to organize three or four more, each having a set of officers. Public functions often fail because the president of it is not on good terms with somebody around the corner, and political effort falls that because every man thinks himself a leader and will follow no other man. And in many another direction, often going into the very home life of the people, there is empathy, bitterness and strife, where there is right to be cooperation common interest and common struggle. The ministers from their pulpits and those who may speak a word of author might bravely speak out against this evil, for it saps the life out of the people and keeps them back. And the people whenever they catch up with a designing idol who go in on a map of his own house let them see his hum, and give him a glimpse of even leaders. He is invited by Carl's backpack to give a annual ad- vance to the Mississippi Business Leagues at more shortly in Natchez. This is a happy selection, for Mr. Miller will have an opportunity to study at first and the advancement of the parochial blacks of the country's most parochial State, and the Negroes will have an opportunity to hear one of their diestem indeed, one of the ablest thinkers in the country. We commend to hospitable Natchez both the Business League and Kelley Miller, with full confidence in Charles Banks to do the honors of the hour. That is all right about Hardwick and Jeff Davis, and Hoke Smith, too. We must lose no time over the mouthings of them. We have got work to do, and we have got children to look after. What these hypocritical darlings may say in the course of abuse, let us not think on. Remember that the chief of them, B. R. T, got rattled in the head through this kind of behavior, but the country moves on without him. Unless the Promise is a broken reed we shall excel if we are stable. When I was sick the other night, and had the carache like the dickens, Pa was so kind that I forgot to think about his awful lickin's; He took me in the rockin' chair and kind of looked down at me sadly. And said if he could have the pain instead of me, he'd take it gladly. S. E. Kiser in the Chicago Record-Herald. NOTE AND COMMENT Sumner's Anniversary Summer's Anniversary. President A. Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard University, has announced that the annual memorial exercises of the university, held in Sanders Theatre, will be devoted to the anniversary of the 100th birthday of Charles Sumner, one of Harvard's greatest sons. Romance of a Race Two weeks ago Roscoe Conkling Simmons, on the invitation of the Tammany Hall General Committee, delivered an address before the Dalton Association, of which the popular William Dalton is president, and to whom Mr Simmons' appearance is to be credited. It was in every way a happy and profitable gathering. Among those present were Hon. William Dalton, Senator Quinn, Alderman Duell, the grand old man John R. Vaches, and Editor McDams the New Yorker. In week's issue of that militant soldier of Democracy Editor McDams reports the meeting in these words. That section of the Ninth Assembly District Tammany Hall under the leadership of William Jalton showed its democracy, in the dictionary sense of true liberality, at its last regular meeting, by having as the author of the opening a young colored man in polio, a black man in the South, who has Rose Campbell Simmons formerly of Mississippi, now New York, contributing editor of The Age, the most influential organ of the colored people in this city a friend of Booker Washington of Theodore Roosevelt and of that stirring old war horse of Democracy John R. Vosburgh who has invited to address the Indian association and to choose his own subject—politics barred. Mr Simmons made one of the most elegant addresses I ever listened to and it has been my good fortune to have heard a great many. There was no need of any qualifying phrase such as for a colored man, either. It was elegant, holarly, shiney and beautiful. He chose his subject The Romance of his name, meaning of course his name. In his opening remarks he said quite liberally that he was glad that politics were barred, because if he should make a Democratic speech, he would be afraid to go home in the speech he might not leave the room alive. He would however, make one political remark which was that he had no use for wumquats. A man should have conditions one way or the other should belong to either one of the two great parties, and should work for the success of that party and for its principles. Speaking of Egypt as the birthplace of civilization Rome as the originator of law and order Athens the home of literature beauty art poetry and architecture Europe of modern bostness conditions, he led up in a glowing victory at the place where all races should finally commingle on terms of equality, and all men should be free. "Slan Dash Statesmen." but had business with the nation, again, for the institution proposed by the Constitution of the United States so as to permit the election of Senators to direct vote on the people. We believe this would be an easier step, since it is pretty well established that the people are not always wise as a senator, and since the success of the measure would strike it in important undertaking in our form of government. The people are, however bent on the change, and we are prepared for the worse. The Sutherland amendment, now the Bristow amendment, calls for Federal supervision of the election, else the disfranchisement of Negroes will become permanent, and the Federal Government will surrender all power and rights over the most important functionary body in the national compact. With the Federal Senate under the dominance of states we would tremble for the Government. We offer no excuse for appending here, for the perusal of students of history and governments, as well as all citizens, the extremely able editorial review of the situation made recently by the *Evening, Sun* "Slap-dash states" committee, who have subpoenaed thinking men who have spoken without reason and who clamor for a change: The disposition to treat the Federal Constitution as of no more moment than an ephemeral statute is a fixed belief in some minds. Hack at the foundation of the house, tear out a wooden desk, and put a tortorial handy—such is the spirit of our restless advocates of radicalism. One constitutional amendment is now be- sore the country cost in such stipulated dangerous form that, it threatens to destroy a vital relation of our governmental organism. And now the Senate is considering another which holds a similar wanton attack. We are glad to see, however, that as reason for a latter amendment an able and resolute Senate will be able to friend the friends of the Constitution. The House of Representatives voted for the direct election of Senators with a whoop and hurrah that left no place for careful consideration. But the Senate is approaching the problem in a very different spirit. Already the opponents of reckless change have registered approval of the resolution of amendment passed in the Senate now pending in the Senate. The point is, as we have before set forth, that to win Southern votes the radicals of the House and Senate are willing to barter away all Federal control of Senatorial elections. The Sutherland amendment in the late Senate, introduced by Senator Brixton in the present Senate, will be further buffer by giving Congress the same control over Senatorial elections as it now has over House elections. Senator Sutherland opened the debate in support of this amendment the other day and made an eloquent appeal for a sober and far-scoring treaty on the subject. He words have such general utility that no one is so pointed a reply to the harsh glare of statements of the hour that we take pleasure in seeing down his main thesis. He was replying specifically to those who had been anering at the gravity of the issue and asserting that the existing power of the nation had needen be strengthened, matter of no importance, and might as well be left to the good faith and goodwill of the States. He said I do not doubt, and I think no one doubts, the truth of this assertion under normal conditions which prevailed today. I do not doubt that a day-to-day or for a month hence, or a year hence, but for a vastly expanding and constantly changing nature, the nature and degree of certainty predict We may indulge the hope, we may be able to no occasion will ever arise for me to exercise the power ofgress in this regard and yet we cannot with safety our eyes to the fact that what has arisen to the past and that what has not arisen to the past, this Authority of congress will be and should be exercised sparingly in the future, as it has been exercised sparingly in the past. The Constitution by decoding upon the States the primary duty and responsibility of congress to compel as to congress shall not interfere as to congress and full political conditions prevail but who among us is so wise as to know that these normal and worthful conditions will all continue. There is one tremendous lesson of our history some of the States once sought for and now no longer sought and will never seek for nor will I am for preserving the power of the nation unimpaired and indestructible the normal ordinary days when the power may be extinguished but for that rate and extent most of stress when its exercise shall be undertaken when the strong suppressing impelling hand of the Federal Government not only may but must stretch forth not only may it from disaster or from destruction. It is the point truth that the Federal constitution was the product of months and years of searching of heresy and of self-interest in searching for truth that has been distinct for thought that has been similar body of man. The numbers of the Federal convention realized deeply that they were building not the films superstructure possessing an element but the foundation of the nation. They did not for the sake of nationality nor for the sake of the house, nor for the state, but for a changing future, a future of extent of which no one can deny and degree of certainty, promise to be for and desperate to for the country in any other sort, that these possessions in any other sort. POLITICAL NOTES Old Finger, Grasserville, once a famous member of the House of Representatives, sitting for the Athens (O) district, was down in Washington a few days ago. The General believes that Harmon is losing ground, and that Taft will not only be the next Republican candidate for the Presidency, but that he will win over Harmon, presuming that Levin will allow him to lead the host of Democracy, very easily. The Grasserville said, "In the national election were held right to Taft and Harmon were opposing candidates. Mr. Taft would win in the state and nation hands down. Mr. Taft would have no difficulty in Harmon in Ohio and elsewhere." He said that the most talked about Democrat, the nomination, has been the last few months. The state has received + - - - U. S. Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, who was chairman of the Committee to State ticket when colle- tion was disminthed, will be opposed were reaction. The latest asspirant to in the his candidacy is Gov. New York state gubernatorial campaign was led by Senator Simmons. That Capt. John G. Capers, the Car- lin traitor, is up against the fight of his life is apparent to all familiar with Republican politics in South Carolina. For the first time in thirty years all the colored Republican leaders are working together, and they are supported by the genuine old line white Republicans. The very organization that put Capers in power he has now turned against, open- ly announcing his purpose to fight all colored Republicans as such, and all white Republicans who believe that col- ored Republicans ought to have a voice in party affairs. Even the Charles- lous Messenger has heralded its opposition to this program, and in the following remarkably lucid observation explains the situation The Republican party in South Carolina, that is, the party proper, represented by the old line or "black and tans," will have all sorts of oppositions to meet and overcome as to show up and overthrow the preposterous charges and claims made by Capt. John G Capers, who is the leading spirit in the new "lily white" organization in this state. It will, however, serve well to keep in mind the fact that John G. Capers was elected National Committeeman for South Carolina by a majority of the delegates sent to the last National Convention and elected to the State, without regard to color, and this party organization which sent these delegates, giving him the right to be one of the National Executive Committee, is the organization he now sees fit to repudiate. And it will also be well to remember that ten of the delegates elected to the National Committeeman for South Carolina were colored men Leaving out of consideration the right to be National Committeeman, the National Republican party cannot and will not take away the rights of a bona fide organization, simply to gratify the deserves of a hundred thousand voters who would convert to Republicanism and would stop at nothing to carry out what they claim now, and expect to claim at the next National Convention. Judging by what we have read in the Washington newspapers over the signature of Capt. Capron, the white man will claim even from Alpha to Omega, so far as being the organization which should be recognized. The Messenger announces that it will publish some of the "Captain's" letters, and warns colored men to carefully choose delegates to the next national convention Anything from Kansas is interesting, and anything political from Kansas is sure of careful attention. According to a prominent Kansan now visiting in Washington, Theodore Roosevelt is first in the hearts of the people of the Sunflower State, and would sweep all before him if he should again be the nominee of his party for the Presidency John W Banks, of Pottawatomie, reviewed the political situation in the West as follows First of all, the Kansas Republicans want to see all kinds of progressive legislation put through. They stand for the most rigorous control of the railroads. They are for conservation, they are for the popular election of Senators in fact, they are for not that the progressives are urging, and they are for these things first, last and all time. Then they are for the renomination of Roosevelt for President. I have been over the State recently in my work and I have talked with the leading business men. They think that Roosevelt is the one man that should be backed by the Republicans. Should Roosevelt be backed by the Republicans, they will urge La Follette to run on third ticket, and he will get many votes. The Democrats seem to favor Woodrow Wilson although there is a strong sentiment for Speaker Clarke. I think that Wilson would run well in the State of New York, but he is not matched and La Follette should be named on a third ticket that all the former standup patrons in the State would vote for Wilson. He made a favorable impression on them during the West Coast Republican convention, and previous afterwards by Wilson that do not agree with his present views they think him conservatively, and will be willing to give him their support as against La Follette, against my --- Emeritus Haskell is troublemaking man of the state of Oklahoma, while now very quiet is laying plans to get to Washington. He will oppose the reelection of Senator Owen, one of the albedes of the younger men in the Congress. A few days ago Federal Counsel docketed in an Oklahoma case that the grandfather clause of the election laws is unconstitutional. That weakens Haskell who got ahead in the political game by distranchising colored men. Owen isn't much better, but he is an improvement over Haskell. Much interest remains to the break between Taft and Senator Root over the reciprocity bill. The difference has not however disturbed the cordial relations between them for they have been friends many years. THE MAN FARTHEST DOWN HAITI FOR HAITIANS Former U S Minister W. F Powell Defends the Noble People of L'Ouverture, and Warns Mr. Vernon In the Editor of The Age I form me to extend to you my com- munity the privilege of writing a diat- tenal which appears in last week's Age enti- ted Hott for Hottings After a decade of nine years in this Republic, drunk which time I had the pleasure to sing with all classes of its people both in the official as well as in the private walks of life, I think an faith with a probable state that I know the character and feeling of its citizens This can be said of them of high and low rich and poor alike, the most dominant feature of their character is their innate love for this their island home, and there cannot be found anywhere in the world a more courageous, brave and generous people than the Haitians, who cherish that independence, their strong war for them more than a certain age. Nor can we find anywhere greater civility than to be found there. It is true they have their little troubles which are the magnified by the leading journals of this country who, time and time again, state that these people are but one degree removed from a savage state. Periodically, there appears accounts in our papers of their booooo worship, of their eating of children, of their having human flesh in their market places, of their being published in a book by a foreign consul, who, at the time he wrote the article, was bordering upon the verge of delirium tremens from his frequent and heavy indulgence in alcoholic beverages, of his accustomed behavior, can be further stated that there is no class of people who have suffered more than they have from an unprincipled class of adventurers who have gone to this island to enrol themselves through this people, to join this people, aided and supported too often by their governments. I cannot conceive that Dr Vernon, who, it is stated, will possibly be appointed to succeed the present able and efficient Minister, Dr Furnies, has for his object the power under the control of this government with the ostensible hope that in bringing this about that he would receive as his reward the appointment of Governor-General of this part of the island Dr. Vernon, I hope, is above such a厚肩 in your column, statement of your opinion, some of his injudicious friends, and is apt to do him great harm. If such is not the case, then let Dr Vernon and his friends know this fact, that if ever Haiti becomes an integral part of this county no one of this race will be in the Gov. of the island. The aim of Dr. Vernon is simply to pave the way to its annexation. it is our duty to this brave people to send an earnest protest from every section of this country to the Administration against such an appointment, and if made against the protest, the carry out of the Constitution on Foreign Relations, to which committee his name would be referred. The Haitian may have his faults, but yho of us is perfect in all things? Let these people ever remain free and independent, and let the American Negro support its freedom and independence. All praise should be given The Ages for this able editorial in calling the attention of its readers to the article from one of its correspondents. It is this fearless attitude that has placed The Ages in free form of journalism its defense in all that pertains to the welfare of our people. Again complimenting you for the able and fearless manner you have set forth these facts in that editorial. W. F. WELLLI, Former U. S. Minister to the Republic of Haiti. Cambridge N. J.

PREPARING A PLACE FOR HIS BETROTHED What This Denouement Implies to the Whole World. Boston, May 28. -Pastor Russell presched twice here today. He had large and intellectual audiences as usual. We report one of his discourses from the text, "I go to prepare a place for and I will come again MANUELIO you; * * * and I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also" John xiv. 2.3). The speaker said— Doubtless we all have in mind the fact that we have just passed the an alvaryn of our Redeemer's ascension to the right hand of the Father—to the highest place in all the Universe. stir to the Almighty Father He ascended up where He was before—to the spirit plane of being, with added excellence of glory and honor, the reward of His faithfulness and obedience to the Father's will, even to the sacrificing of His life at Calvary The work for which the Lopes left the heavenly glory has not yet been fully accomplished. He has suffered, the Just for the unjust, giving His life a Ransom price for all but this was merely a means toward an end and that end has not yet been accomplished the blessing of Adam and his fallen race. Thank God, however that the great bread foundation has been laid. Thanks be to God also that a great preliminary work has been in progress during more than eighteen centuries since His ascension. That preliminary work is the preparation of the Church of Christ to follow Him in faithfulness and self-sacrifice and cultivation to the divine nature glory, honor and immortality, which was Hiseward all Peter I. 4. The Way and the Place. As the Redeemer was the first to ascend to the gloorious station of the divine nature far above angels prince palettes and powers, and as the Church is to be His associate in that glory it was necessary that He should precede her to prepare the way. And before the Church could in any sense of the word, he made acceptable in the heavenly courts, it was necessary that the Redeemer 'appear in the presence of God' on her behalf the brews 24. How precious to every child of God are the words of the Apostle: If we can we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. Let us therefore come with courage to the Throne of heavenly Grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in every time of need, for we have an High Priest who can be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, having been tempted in all points like as we of the new creation are tempted (I John 1: 12 Hebrews 17, 15, 16) "I Will Come In Like Manner." "I Will Come In Like Manner." There appears to be a disposition on the part of many to deny that there will be a second advent of the Redeemer. They reason that what has not occurred in more than eighteen centuries should cause to be expected. They endeavor to find the fulfilment of the promised and coming of the Savior in the biblical blessing. But this cannot be those who have implicit trust in God and who believe that the Apostle were His specially appointed for did not the Apostle after Pentecost tell of the Apostle of the Lord and did not tell of the Lord in the last book of the P.

In the pathway between Him and His eternal glory stood the cross, and to Him he insisted. But on the verge of His ascension He gathers His little band of obscure Gaileans around Him and declares that they shall be His witnesses. Strange time this to be calling for witnesses. Court has long since adjourned, sentence has been passed, and committed man has been our witness that the accused will be penalty of the law. You will observe that the tone of the verb is future and that the tone actual witnessing was not to be costaneous with the assention. In the case of the early disciples there must be preliminary which they were called. To introduce into the society of their age a new system of ethics and religion was by no means a small undertaking. The work of the men was to be both destructive and constructive, local and universal and in order to stimulate the purposes of the mission. The successes of constellation stability of character and hardiness of purpose. These indispensable elements were at this time wanting either wholly or in part in all of the disciples and thus they were compelled not to depart from Jerusalem until they were fully prepared. The mission in their waited at Jerusalem in peaceful expectation for the visitation of the Holy Spirit. The Day of Pentecost marked the beginning of Christianity as an aggressive force in the world. Unlike Judaism, it tinguishingly marks of which work its inclusive and dual features the Evangelical propaganda organized and set in motion on this occasion was destined to be a biblical in its sanctus and universal in its mighty swash and command. The day of the Gentiles or Samaritans had given place to the great commission to be into all the world and make disbelief all the nations. The apistates were ultimately qualified for the first work of extending the kingdom of creation of their superior knowledge of the supplemented by the special production of the apistates, which was characterized by simplicity and direct earnestness and eloquence. Their words burned like fire upon the consciences of men and were effectual in producing the desired results. They insisted upon re-pentance faith and baptism as the means of the creation of the kingdom and the fellowship of the church. Judge goes through his accustomed monarchy of asking, "Were you born here?" The Chinaman replies, "No, but I can speak the English language fluently and then they will tell me that I am a full-fledged citizen." The old Judge reads the law to him for the last time and dismutes him with a warning not to come before him any more. The Chinaman reluctantly skims away, disappointed in the expert's advice, and discovers that the is indefensible and no preacher of persons. There are doubtless many who seek the privileges of heavenly citizenship in some such way as this. They conform to the moral law, are faithful to their church obligations, and sometimes take a most active part in reform movements. These are all commendable in themselves, but must be as they do not spring from regretted belief they could not nothing in the final reckoning. The law says, "Ye must be born anew." My friends, we cannot insist too strongly upon a regenerated church membership. It is far better that we have just a few, who have openly renounced sin, on our behalf, and who are not only normal Christians. No one is likely to be a very enthusiastic witness for Christ unless he himself has experienced the blessings of the gospel. But a witness must not only be renewed in heart but must have also. (2) THE ABSORBENT PRACTICE OF THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH. The Spirit of God is the sharqising force which gives assurance to the believer and the ring of authority to his testimony. It is the dynamic of Christianity, the great power that begins an communion with the believer in heart and life. He bears witness with our spirits that we are the god of God and so no more under the law but under grace. The son of enunciations of His indwelling brings the Kingdom of Heaven in reality. For the kingdom of Heaven is righteousness, peace and Joy in the Holy Thou shou'r. This qualification, my friends, is indispensable. The truth of the saving grace of Christ must be published to the world and this responsibility is upon the pastor. The pastor is tougher and seriously of our high calling? Does the staggering thought that we are co-workers with God ever flash across our spiritual horizion? Do we ever think, while praying so earnestly that men everywhere may fairly crowd into the Kingdom of God, minded to go and lead them into the higher life? The business of the witness is to proclaim the truth, and the truth to be proclaimed is the great redemptive work of Jesus (Christ through which we obtain an ation) which must constantly rely upon the Spirit's assistance for strong opposing forces must be encountered many of which will wrench from him the bitterest immanations. I need not tarry to refresh your memory concerning the apparently important precedent prior to their reception of the Holy Spirit. It is such evident to say that Peter the one who had made such great declarations concerning his purpose, was drawn into intercession and surreptly by a man who had been thoroughly convinced to the value of his Master that he was still brought to care the whole truth to men. I do not mean to imply this reference to the apprehension that receive the Spirit's measure as they received it but I do mean to say that there is great danger in minimizing the importance of the Christian words of day. In proportion as we think that in the same proportion with ourristians doing but half started written. Before taking up the next division let me state now again the qualifications of the A Sailing Anchorage of the The Adding Brace of the Hole during the witness the righteous and the are invited to consider next II. THE MANNER OF WITNESSING In the first place the witness is was of testimony to the the Lord says to and that man will not be indicted its vital. There is something about herism and self sacrifice that mankind the world over admires. The story of the Spartan at The temple in Santiago. But will it fail to bring a thrill of admiration to the souls of men. We always stand the men who risk their lives in defense of others. So many friends the man, the unplifted christ who drew in the Kingdom of Heaven at the same time, will not wait in vain. But many others have tried far better than I am ever did and therefore the paternal mite that I am not will add very little to the world. And the same little will at the same time be under obligation to do that. We know that there are still waiting to be what they are a paternal mite and that the man is a paternal mite in our own My friends the command to us begins at home, to touch and tell your friends what great things the Lord has done for those. The measure of Christianity is that the poles we lay at church or our pretensions on the streets, but rather by the gentle christ like war in which we live at home. If those among whom we live have no confidence in our Christianity then it will be easier to usilfit it upon those of another circle. In the next place the disciples were told that they should be witnesses in all Judea.

ADVERTISE IN THE AGE LESTER A. WALTON THEATRICAL COMMENT AT the annual election of officers of the Colored Vaudeville Beevolent Association, held Monday evening at the association's headquarters, 320 West 53d street, Anthony D. Byrd was elected president to succeed Leon Williams, who has been at the head of the organization since its birth. The majority of members present seemed to feel that there should be a change in the personnel of the official list, and as the result but few of the old officers were retained. The balloting resulted as follows Anthony D. Byrd, president, William Barker, first vice-president, George Brown, second vice-president, Frank Clermont, third vice-president; Lester A. Walton, treasurer, Sidney Helms, assistant treasurer, J Harry Jackson, financial secretary, Charles H Moore, corresponding secretary, Harry Prampin, assistant corresponding secretary; William Farrell, recording secretary, Julius Glenn, assistant recording secretary, Tom Lemomer, sergeant-at-arms; Frank De Lyons, assistant sergeant-at-arms, the Rev. Mr F Howard, chapain, Dr Robert L Cooper, medical examiner, J Frank Wheaton and James L Curtis, counsellors Anthony D Byrd, the association's new president, is one of the oldest and most highly respected performers in the show business. He has been connected with many of the leading colored shows, and recently closed a successful engagement at the Hippodrome where he sang "Old Black Joe" in the spectacular production "Marching Through Georgia." The chief aim of the new officers will be to conduct a business-like administration. The Modern Stage Negro. While pleading for the elimination of the story of Shylock from the reading courses in public schools, maintaining that Shylock was not a Jew, the Rev. Dr. Joseph Silverman of the Temple Kumau-El a few weeks ago discountened the stage type of Jew, saying: The modern stage Jew is a discredit to every living Jew. His make-up, his language, and in fact everything about him has been created to cause ridicule. A campaign must be instituted to do away with the caricaturing the members of the Hebrew race, both in literature and upon the stage. That the Rev. Dr. Silverman has just cause for complaint cannot be denied, but if he sees fit to register a protest against the stage type of Jew of to-day it is about time than some of our colored ministers put themselves on record as being strongly opposed to the modern stage Negro type which is a discredit to the race. No race is so grossly misrepresented before the footlights during this theatrical era as the Negro, not even the Jew, and, sad to relate, conditions are getting worse instead of better. Seldom is a character delineation given of an intelligent colored person—one possessing traits representing him as a desirable and respected citizen. It is usually the ignorant type, intensely submissive, generally addicted to drink, without a serious thought, uncouth and entirely uneven conscious of and unsusceptible to the elevating influences which surround him. Such is the usual characterization on the stage of the present day Negro, and it is from the presentation of this type that thousands of whites who are so pathetically unfamiliar with Negro life unfortunately form their estimate of the race. In the case of the Jews the majority of white theatregoers regard these caricatures as mere burlesques, but for some reason the misrepresentation of the Negro is not viewed so lightly, but in a more serious vein. The disgraceful antics performed by white actors under cork are, in the main, regarded as correct limitations if how colored people conduct themselves in everyday life. The colored citizen also is shown far less consideration and respect than the Jew on the stage in another instance. You never hear of such slight references made to the Jews as "sheeney" or "bike," but "coon" and "nigger" are used nowadays by white performers with marked familiarity and it appears that the managers of the theatre do not care how deeply wounded are the feelings of the colored patrons who sit and listen to each terms of insult and disparagement. Whole was a time when the word "darkey" was in the white performer's vocabulary when alluding to the colored citizen, but it was too gentile—it was not sufficiently degrading—so now "nigger" and "coon" are stage terms which are spoken with calm indifference, amazing familiarity and ofttimes with evident affection and relish. Dr. Silverman has taken up cudgels against the caricatured of the few on the stage What colored minister or ministers will take up the cause of the Negro, who, day by day, is being unnecessarily ridiculed and quite often maliciously misrepresented by white performers thereby making false impressions and creating unfavorable conditions which are unfair to both the colored citizen and that class of whites desiring at all times, to know the truth!

Since time out of mind "all the world has been supposed to love a love. There are signs that this will not always be so, comments the Literary Digest, are one of them is the cavalier way love is treated in that clever, satirical, theatrical paper printed in Florence, Italy called The Mask. To be sure, it is the stage lover that is here treated, and the way his unreality is shown up for us by Mr. Gilbert a Beckett must prove the other aphorism that "love is blind. Such love, it is meant, as more of it may have felt for the pretty painted future behind the footlights than are willing." Pat Chapelle, owner and manager of "A Rabitt's Foot" company, sailed on the Lustania for Europe Wednesday for his health. He was accompanied by his wife, Mr. Chapelle spent several days in New York before sailing. He reports that he closed the season with $12,000 on the right side of the ledger. Elmer Boeman who is with the Biltmore Burke Company, writes from Salt Lake City, Utah, that he is over 2,432 miles away from 133th street and Lenox avenue. He says that Bert Williams is the hit of the Follies of 1910 and that the western playgoers think the big comedian is the one best bet. The Prampins-Harry and Laura-made one of the biggest hits of their career at the Crescent Theatre last week. It is the strongest musical skit that has even been at the Crescent Theatre, which is saying much Laura Prampin is one of the best female cornet players in the United States, and could capable fill a speaking part in a show Harry Prampin is some more trombonist William H.

It will be called that some weeks ago Mr. Dals' license was revoked for running the Princess Theatre, due to the protest of a few prejudiced whites who were opposed to the existence of a colored theatre in the neighborhood. NEW LYCEUM BUREAU What promises to be one of the leading lyceum bureaus in this country is the Harrison - Walton Lyceum Bureau which has just been unrushed, with headquarters in New York and Chicago. The new amusement concern will open up avenues for colored singers and musicians who in the past, had to hold harmless and their suits to demand. The first attraction will be in all companies which will wish to join Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown will join the company and will join the country, visiting the leading cities of the United States.

Since time out of mind "all the world" has been supposed to love a lover. There are signs that this will not always be so, comments the Literary Digest, and one of them is the cavalier way lovers are treated in that clever, satirical, theatrical paper printed in Florence, Italy, called The Mask. To be sure, it is the stage lover that is here treated, and the way his unreality is shown up for us by Mr. Gilbert a Beckett must prove that other aphorism that "love is blind." Sigh love, it is meant, as more of us may have felt for the pretty painted figure behind the footlights than are willing to own up to it. Mr. a Beckett takes up one genus of stage lover after another and shows us how the passion develops itself in various ways, and how "every different species of dramatic production has a peculiar kind of stage lover." He writes. The tragedy lover is addicted to the very inconvenient practice of loving above his station, and he is continually going about asking the woods, the groves the valleys, and the hills why he was lowly born, a question which the woods, groves valleys and hills are not in the habit of answering. He usually rushes to the wars, and comes home with a colonel's commission, bragging that he has crushed the haughty Ottomate or rolled the aroucous Labyan in the dust of his native desert In consequence of this crushing and rolling he offers his hand with confidence to the high-born maid who had previously spurned him from her foot; and he generally chooses the occasion of a banquet given in honor of her intended marriage to somebody else, as the most fitting opportunity of popping the question. Having succeeded in his suit, he frequently sets out to crush some more Ottomates, or to roll the audacious Labian in some more dust when he allows himself to be made very jealous by unconscious letters, and he abruptly leaves the army to lead itself, in order that he may go home and tax his wife with her misdeeds. On arriving chez lui the tragedy never infrequently finds his wife engaged in conversation with her own brother, who won't say he is her brother, but prefers fighting a duel with the tragedy lover, and the latter returns to his wife with a fatal wound just in time to die in her arms which sends her raving mad while the brother, in a fit of remorse commits suicide. The operatic lover bears some resemblance to the lover we have just disposed of, though he usually confines his violence to tearing up marriage contracts, stamping on the bats shaking his fist in his rival's face, and rushing out with a drawn sword, shaking it and makes his exit to the lover in his pituit of his falsoetto. The basic belongs to quite much class. As for instance He expresses his affection by fettering and loving heard that it is would make the world a round he paint it with the spirit may be the best of his charity. The he is the best of his affection wants to allow the object to be dropped into the arms with of the smile. He will fulfil and will open when he is compelled in one he will be with a smile, though many times the stream and a the river are present to see the road of parents, who, however, want for the experience of de deux who interpose their authority, whom they take care to exercise within promis. Terphelon limits 'was given the young competence to fall into a grave attitude and receive whatever applause the public may seen disposed bestow on it. The amused lower goes by the technical name of "walking gentleman," a title Mr. A Beckett thinks, "probably derived from his always having his hat in his hand, as if he would shortly have to walk off at the instigation of some unreasonable father or testy guardian." The comedy lover is very much adh迪ted to ducks and dissatisfaction, wearing white trousers in all weathers and binding itself upon all occasions with the object of his choice, without any reason for doing so. If the lady is in good spirits, the following is the sort of speech the comedy lover will address her 'Nay, Laura, I do not like this gaiety. The volatile head hespeaks the hollow heart, and if you smile on me to day, you might bestow your sunshine on another to morrow. Believe me, Laura, that though we may admire the gadfly for its wings, we shall never seek it for its society, and though we may chase the butterfly for its color, we cherish the unary for its consuetey. You weep, Laura—nay, I did not mean to distress you, though I had rather bring tears from your eyes than allow Lily to remain at your heart, for speediness of character is a brighter gem than the most glittering gewgaw.

The farce lover is the lowest in the dramatic scale, for he is not infrequently a scamp, and it would sometimes be difficult to distinguish him from a swindler. He is usually wholly destitute of means, and quite averse to any respectable occupation. He seldom enters a house like a gentleman, but smacks in by the assistance of a pert and dishonest maid, or comes life a thief over a garden wall or through an open window. If the master of the house should be heard approaching, the farce lover gets under the table, or crumbs himself into a closet. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Randolph Granger, the crack colored runner of the Barringer High School, Newark, was the particular star of the annual track and field meet of the New Jersey Intercollegiate League, which was held last Saturday on Ashland Field, East Orange Barringer High won the scholastic meet and it was Granger who distinguished himself on more than one occasion The colored runner, who promises to be another John Taylor, smashed two of the old marks. His record performances were in the quarter of a mile and half mile runs. In the first event he clipped 1 2 5 seconds off the former record, making the distance in 52 2 5 seconds. In the half mile event without being extended he registered 2 minutes 3 2 5 seconds, which is 2 3 5 seconds under the old mark of 2 minutes 6 seconds. Told That He Was Not Down South. At the annual games of the New York Postoffice Clerks Association, which were held Sunday at Celtic Park, Gwynn Henry, the national champion runner at 220 yards, who hails from a little town in Texas, was rebukeled for objecting to running in a race with colored contests. When he saw C Nicholson on the crack runner on the Lactuca Athletic Club of Brooklyn, preparing to enter the contest he protested to Starter McFugh declaring that he would not run against a colored man. An argument lasting for nearly ten minutes, ensued and the Texan was finally informed that he was not down South but in New York and would either compete against Nicholson or get out. Henry decided to forget that he was from Texas for a few moments and templetely banned his race. He came first in the race and the colored Royal Giants Defeat Ridgewoods Lincoln Giants, 12.

I would fix in your minds that you are always under fire, and it 13 a capital thing. You have got to justrfy not only your right to hive as men and women, but you have got to justify your right to live as educated men and women.

The annual ‘won by, J Graerry, of te ES Ate ita Lanesoe, the, “giatorial class: subject was “Opportunities es ee Nepror and Butords tubject ras “The Negro in American tory.” ‘ ‘The judges were Senator Merritt, Mayor Powell and W. W. Campbell, president of the Macon County Bank ‘Judge Terrell’s Address. ‘The commencement address was de- livered by Judge Robert H. Terrell, of Washington, D. C., who said in part: “The Negro has advanced an im- measurable distance since his ancestors first set foot on American soil From 1619 to 1863 he yielded his liberty and gave his toil unrequited to a master; his body and his intellect he gave over to an institution that would have ground to powder a less hardy people. He has done more than simply survive these hard conditions. He has proved bim- self in many particulars equal to the severe and exacting demands of Amer- ican civilization in all of its better forms. And what he bas accomplished fas been mainly and chiefly attained in the Southern States, and I believe that what he will do in the future worthy of record will be done here where there is scarcely any industrial prejudice against him In the South he bas the best chance to win a place of economic importance, Af he nly takes advantage of the great ‘opportunities at his very doors. It is for the Negro to say whether or not the foreign labor which is pouring into our country through the gates of all of its seaports shall successfully invade bis province in the Southern industrial sys- tem. “The economic and industrial problem lies at the very heart of the social wel- fare of any race. Some one has said that the possibility of honest bread and butter is the noblest possibility of civili- zation. And for the Negro that possi- bihty is right here in the South—a sec- tion of the country to which he is al- ready suited and to which it is not necessary for him to readjust himself. “The vast resources of the South have for a very long period of time tain dormant and inactive. But this inert- ness has given way before an industrial ferment that is transforming and de- veloping this part of our land into a new country, destined to equal, if not sur- pass ali other sections in scientific ad- vancement in agriculture and in a vast expansion in manufactures. In this revo- lution, as far as it has gone, the Negro has played no inconsiderable part. And let us indulge the hope that he is not going to abandon the opportunity to profit by the great evolution in indus- trial methods which is going on at his very doors: and thas he is not roing to throw away his clfnces to attain here the substance by seeking the shadow in other faraway places. South Needs Active Negroes. “The South 1s the field for the Negro along all lines of activity, it matters not whether he be engaged in any one of the learned professions, or whether he be the skilled mechanic or unskilled laborer Nowhere can we make men Tove us, but we can so conduct our- selves, and so do our work that we will command the good will of our neigh- bors and become indispensable to our employers. “One cannot but be optimistic with regard to the future of the Negro m this country when he notes the progress he has already made in the first half century of his freedom. And his ac- complishments appear all the more mar- velous when we contemplate the fact that the conditions which have con- fronted him have not always been just and fair, and m some localities he is completely shut off from a participation im the best_industrial activities which are freely offered to all of the other ele. ments in our great cosmopolitan popa- lation. “The spirit of Negro progress 1 created and fostered in the Negro schools now scattered all over the South These institutions kindle in the minds of our young men and women aspirations for better things. they are pouring forth their influence to strength- en and to invigorate the moral status of the Negro Wherever we turn we see evidences of their benign and salu- tary effect in the constant development of the young, not only in intellect but even in physical appearance. In these workshops men and women are being trained and drilled for citizenship in that empire where numbers are not the main thing, and where physical power does not control, but where intelligence and capability hold sway, and where this great machme which God has given us, called the brain, is constantly ac- centuating and emphasizing our conten- tion that all men are created equal “The young men and young women who will leave Tuskegee to-day as graduates are going out into the world under the most auspicious circum- stances. They will take with them di- plomas from a school of international feputation—an institution renowned for its development of students of power and efficiency They will go prepared to enter the great struggle of life with- ao ee wrebeere and Gertie. | RN Ste ~ “Greenberg's Ladies’ Hair Dressing Parlors MANUPACTURES OF HUMAN HAIR GOODS Afro-American Hair Goods a Specialty man Ses pose Hed oe nn tag pot of in saan “Tanto 589 Eighth Avenue aegSlyr MRAR 20th STRERT MME.
