VOL. XXIV. No. 51. Two Warring Factions Hold Stormy Session for Supremacy Headquarters of United Colored Democracy Scene of Disturbance Monday Evening LEE WINS IN SKIRMISH Had Two Majorit- in Executive Committees — Wood Forces Leave Headquarters and Hold Rump Convention. Had a race riot been in progress or had a colored aviator been giving an aerial exhibition in his flying machine it is doubtful if there could have been more excitement than was on tap at the headquarters of the United Colored Democracy, 121 W. 132d street, for about an hour Monday evening. Two forces of Tammany's black battling braves met and sat down to what was to have been a friendly pow wow—a sort of family affair. It soon developed however that there would be no need for the pipe of peace for both tribes were more intent in starting something than indulging in pleasantries. Every dusky brave had his wish gratified, for the gathering of the warriors bold ended far different than do modern social functions; in fact there was so much confusion that the police were called in to prevent further trouble. The meeting broke up before any real fighting began. Only a little skimishing had been done when the bluecoats arrived on the scene. Some think that their timely arrival prevented a massacre, as every dusky brave had blood in his eye and was going about with either a war club or a tomahawk. In the skimish the followers of Chief Lee came out victorious over the adherents of Robert N. Wood, and the chief claims his men would have sealed the enemy completely had hostilities continued. Monday evening's meeting was held at the suggestion of Chief Murphy of Tamnany Hall to determine which faction would be in charge of the election machinery at the primary scheduled to be held this week to elect district leaders of the United Colored Democracy. One day last week a conference was held with Chief Murphy and the local fight among the colored Democrats was gone over. Chief Lee and Robert N. Wood were present, the former being represented by John J. Bell, Jr., and James D. Carr was spokesman for Wood. After hearing both sides Chief Murphy instructed that a meeting of the Executive Board be held Monday evening when the question of supremacy should be fought out. Friends of Both Factions Present. The headquarters of the United Colored Democracy was crowded with friends of both factions and while it was expected that the fight would be hotly contested, few thought that the meeting would end so disgracefully. So noisy were the black Tammanyites that Ralph E. Langston, chairman of the Executive Committee, broke his gavel in his many attempts to secure order. When he emerged from the meeting his shirt collar was limp and starchless. When the meeting was called to order by Chairman Langston shortly after 9 o'clock the first question raised was whether the board should be held behind closed doors. It was finally decided to meet in executive session. The sergeant-at-arms was instructed to exict all who were not members of the committee. A demand was then made by the Wood people that John I. Belw Jr. he ousted from the room, the contention being that he was not a member of the Executive Committee. The request of the Woods faction was ignored however. The first real sang the committeemen ran up against, and the one which caused all the trouble, was as to which membership roll was correct—the one always used at the regular session of the Executive Committee or the roll operative at the meeting held a few weeks ago when R. N. Wood called a meeting of the committee, which is said to have been illegal as the session was not called by Ralph F. Langston, Chairman Langston ruled that he would allow each side to call the roll, showing a disposition to be fair toward both factions. Dispute Over: Secretaryship. A motion was next made that Cornelius Hughes, who acted as secretary at the Wood meeting, be made secretary. The vote, according to the roll call used by the Wood side, resulted in a vote of 11 to 10 in favor of Hughes. When another vote was taken and the Lee membership roll The New York Age DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AND PARTY was used, the vote stood 12 to 10 against the election of Hughes. The tumult started when the Wood faction attempted to declare Preston B. Bailey of the Thirty-third District, persona non grata. Although Mr. Bailey has been leader of his district for over ten years, R. N. Wood raised the point that he had moved. This point was not sustained. An unsuccessful attempt was also made to put Joseph Campbell off the committee. When the second vote for the election of Hughes had been taken, showing twelve votes against his election and ten in his favor, the members became boisterous and everybody wanted to speak at once. At this juncture R. N. Wood got into an altercation with the sergeant-at-arms about opening the doors of the committee room, and others joined in the argument. Threats of committing bodily harm were generously made, and the police were called in to cool the fighting spirit of the bligerents. Anthony McCarthy, fearing that there would be bloodshed, made a motion to adjourn and the meeting ended in an uproar. While about fifty persons were talking at one of the lights were turned out by some energetic individual which added to the confusion. Chief Lee retired to his private office on the next floor and Robert N. Wood dramatically hade his supporters to follow him to a house nearby, where they met and held a rump meeting, proclaiming Wood chief. Monday evening's vote in the committee stood as follows: With Chief Lee: Charles E. Warren, Thomas Jackson, James L. Curtis, Burgess Holland, J. Frank Hill, Ralph E. Langston, V. P. Thomas, John Morris, Joseph Campbell, Preston B. Railley, Anthony McCarthy and W. L. Foy. For R. N. Wood: William McKenzie, Walter Herbert, Sidney Austin Samuel Singleton, A. J. Brown, Richard N. Wood, Silas Brown, James D. Curr and Louis E. Toppin. A. M. Robinson acted as secretary for the Lee faction. Both Chief Lee and R. N. Wood appeared at Tammany Hall Tuesday and told of Monday night's meeting. Chief Lee was instructed by Tammany Hall to arrange for the holding of the primary, which was a victory for him and his followers. RAISE MONEY FOR SCHOOL Negroes of New Orleans Purchase Site for Another.School Building—School Board Impressed With Efforts of Negroes and Decide to Erect Building. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR New Orleans, La., September 19.—The New Orleans School Board has decided to grant the colored people of the Seventh ward a public school for their children. The Negro citizens of the ward have organized an educational league and under the auspices of the organization recently gave an entertainment for the purpose of raising funds with which to buy a place for the erection of a public school building. Over $1,000 has been raised and paid on account of a public school building November 15 the payment will be increased to $1,800. The school officials have been very much impressed with the efforts of the Negro citizens to secure a school in the Seventh ward and have decided to put up a school building on the property recently purchased by the colored citizens. The new institution will increase the number of colored school in the State of Louisiana to 1,044, and the number of school properties turned over to the state by Negroes for school purposes to 643. Have Given Much Property for Schools According to the last report of the State Superintendent, there are 2,352 schools in the state for white children. Of this number of school properties, the white people have committed 435 and the state 1,917. It will be on that white students have not given as much property to the state. For school purposes as have the colored, but have received more from it than have the color by very large groups. It is said that the school hard has selected for the present and until a building has been put up on the place bought by the colored people, building with something like twenty-rooms on Allen ad Miro streets and all put NEGRO BAPTISTS TO MARCH TO WASHINGTON Dr. Creditt Says 5,000 Men will Demand Fair Play For the Negro BAPTIST CONVENTION ENDS Next Session of National Body will be at Newton, Tex.—Addresses by Dr. Morris and Others. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE Pittsburgh, Pa., September 19. During his address before the National Baptist Convention, held in this city, the Rev. Dr. W. A. Creditt of Philadelphia, stated that a movement is on foot among the Negro Baptists of Pennsylvania to organize an army of five thousand Northern Negro men and march into Washington during the next session of Congress and request a hearing in behalf of the race throughout the United States. The Rev. Dr. Creditt stated that the army of churchmen would represent the 2,500,000 Baptists of this country. The National Baptist Convention, which was in session at Lunn Park since Wednesday, September 13, closed one of the most successful sessions ever held in its history here Monday, and selected Houston, Tex., for the meeting in 1912, after a lively contest with Little Rock. The convention was called to order Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock by Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., who is regarded as the leader of the Negro Baptists in the United States. In calling the convention to order Dr. Morris said: "Very many plans have been suggested as to how our race in this country can most effectively meet and solve the many problems which daily rise up before it. While we confess that much progress has been made, yet there is much more to be done there can be "any ease in Zion." In my opinion the future good of the race demands that the more than one million young Negro men must in some way be reached and made to realize the great responsibility which will be transferred to their hands in the immediate future. The manner in which this vast army of young Negro men view the race conditions at this day will have a tremendous effect upon how the various problems are to be solved. It is incumbent upon the leaders of to-day, to transmit to the coming generation of young Negro men the spirit of loyalty and patriotism, as well as that of good will which has been characteristic of the race for the past fifty years. Church is Medium to Reach Young Neara. I am sure that there is no more effectual way of reaching the young Negro than through the medium of the church, the B. Y. P. K., the Epworth League, the Christian Endeavor, and the Y. M. C. A. The welfare of the whole nation will be promoted in proportion as the the young Negro man is reached and made to see his proper relation to his country, and I would urge that representatives of the organizations mentioned, would double their efforts in trying to move the hearts of the philanthropists, to give to these causes, for if for no other reason a love of country and promotion of good citizenship should constrain them. "It is said that Kepler, the great astronomer, sojoiced more in truth than in titles, more in honor than in honors"; when his work the 'Harmonies of the World' was first published, he said, "I can afford to wait a century for a reader, since God waited six thousand years for an observer." What our race needs, and what the young Negro needs to be taught at this critical moment is patience to wait on an unfailing Providence to set all existing evils right, and in the meantime set about convincing the world that he is among the most law abiding. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1911. ATTENTION THOSE WHO HAVE Houses and Rooms To Let SHOULD Advertise in The Age. THOSE WHO DESIRE to Rent Houses and Rooms SHOULD Read The Age. The Age prints more Real Estate Advertisements than any other Negro paper published. God fearing of any of the American people." Dr. Ward Preaches Annual Sermon. The annual sermon was preached by the Rev. D. C. A. Ward, of Boston, Mass., while the sermon to the women's convention was preached by the Rev. Dr. M. W. D. Norman, of Washington, D. C. Each session was full of interest, and there were many able addresses delivered. Some of the strongest men and women of the race spoke during the week. Rev. W. A. Creditt, D. D., of Philadelphia, Penna, representing the New England Baptist Convention, spoke on the Relation of the Negro in the South to the Negro in the North, showing how the Northern Negro could be helpful to his brother in the South. He said in part: "The Negroes in certain Northern cities and states have through the franchise placed a great power in our hands which if handled wisely would be of much help to our brethren throughout the country. "I am not to discuss whether it is wise that the colored man at the South ought to submit or whether he ought not to submit to his being deprived of the ballot. The question of submission is his question pure and simple. If I lived where he lived and was surrounded as he is surrounded, very likely I would do as he is doing. I only know the ballot is a mighty power. What is the use of having an opportunity to build your own home if you may not have the ballot by which you may protect that home. We know that our brethren in the South are suffering by the loss of the ballot. We know what we are suffering here because of the lack of wisdom in using the ballot. "But what they may not do for them selves, may it not be possible that we, the Northern brethren may help them to do? These great numbers of colored men in this section may be of great service to our brethren throughout the country. The numerical ascendancy of the Negro Baptist places even the political leadership in the hands of Negro Baptists. Advises Ministers to Mix in Politics. Ordinarily I would not advise church leaders, particularly ministers, to attempt leadership in matters political, but as yet the bulk of our intelligent and better informed people are in our churches. The minister is the mouthpiece of the church. Like other leaders are found and reared, we ministers must lead in even political affairs. We are ready to resign as soon as we grow others. "The Republican party of these Northern States needs our votes and the country at large needs the Republican party. The country at large cannot have the Republican party to conduct its affairs unless the North elects the Republican party. The North cannot elect this party without the solid and ever increasing vote of the Negroes of this section. This they know and this we know. "I do not advise any split in the Republican party, nor do I advise that the Northern Negro should change his politics, but we must remain in the party and contend for our rights. Let us calmly, wisely and persistently force ourselves into the councils of the Republican party. Let them know and understand what we represent and that we are here to be heard. "Let us follow the Irishman, the Jew and the Italian. They are factors in the party in the North and can tell America what relation it can sustain to England and America ohyes, because these people have stood as a unit. The influence and ballot of the American Jew causes this country to protect him in other countries where they are persecuted." CHURCH MAKES PURCHASE. Special to The New York Age. Toronto, Can. September 18—Grant A. M. E. Church reports the largest year's work during its existence, having raised $2,000 from all sources, the missionary society bringing home the banner from the conference, $60,00 having been raised. The trustees recently purchased the property, corner of University avenue an Elm street, and will remodel the former synagogue into a modern edifice. Alterations will begin soon. The purchase price was $14,000. The membership has been more than doubled in one conference year, showing the rapid strides made under progressive leadership. GOES TO WASHINGTON Special Correspondence of True Act. Washington, D. C., September 19. Prof. William H. J. Beckett has resigned his position as director of physical culture in the public schools of St. Louis to accept a similar position at the Colored Y. M. C. A. in this city. Prof. Beckett was educated at the Baltimore Colored High School and the Y. M. C. A Training School at Springfield, Mass. He was in charge of the department of physical training in the Baltimore High School and also had charge of the athletic work in the colored playgrounds before going to St. Louis. OFFICIALS QUARREL OVER 900 FEET OF NOSE Fire Chief Bollom To Go After Nine and Colored Firemen Ignore Request of City Council. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR Asbury Park, N. J., September 20.—Nine hundred feet of hose is the subject of an unusual controversy in Asbury Park, and once more the Negroes are showing that they do not intend to stand for any drawing of the color line, threatening to make themselves felt at the polls if the members of the race involved are discriminated against. Only some weeks ago the colored voters of this place threatened to insurge at the polls when the Beach Commission temporarily took away the bathing place used for years by Negroes. Asbury Park has a fire company located in the colored section known as the Eureka Fire Company. There are some white people in the town who do not relish the idea of colored men fighting the flames, and when they learned that 900 feet of hose had been delivered to the Eureka Fire Company they began to express their displeasure and get others unduly excited. The hose was delivered a few weeks ago at the instance of Councilman Weedon. The matter has even been discussed in the City Council and several of the members influenced by carping critics, ordered Fire Chief Arthur H. Hope to send for the hose. Chief Hope has refused to go after the hose and the colored firemen say that they will not give it up unless their superior or the members of the City Council apply for it in person. The Eureka Fire Company is situated on Springwood avenue in the heart of the colored residential section, and all of its members are colored. The colored section is west of the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad and was formerly called Neptune township. It represents almost a colored town, for here are all of the residences, business places, hotels and boarding houses for the race. There are also two colored policemen and one constable in this division. IOWA A. M. E. CONFERENCE Des Moines, IA., September 19...The twenty-third annual session of the Iowa Conference of the A. M.

Garnet, a retired school principal and well known in educational circles in New York, died suddenly Sunday morning at her home, 748 Hancock street. Mrs. Garnet's death was unexpected and a great surprise to her many friends. Only a few days ago a welcome reception was given in her honor by the Equal Suffrage League in the event of her return from London in the interest of female suffrage. The deceased was born in Brooklyn August 31, 1831. Her parents, Syliwan Smith and Annie Springsteel, were descended in part from the aboriginal Indians of Long Island. Mr. Smith was a large land owner and a successful farmer. His eleven children were trained after strict, plain fashion of the times in habits of thrift, industry and honesty. Sarah Smith began her teaching career at the early age of fourteen years under the monitorial system, with the then adequate compensation of twenty-five dollars per annum. At the expiration of a half century she retired from active service, having filled the honored position of principal and being the recipients of the annual maximum salary attached to the position of twenty-five hundred dollars. At the beginning of this busy, fruitful period of five decades, Miss Smith married the Rev. Samuel Tompkins, an Episcopal clergyman. She was left a widow with two children after barely reaching her majority. She continued teaching without interruption for practically the rest of her life. She was employed first as assistant in a school in Williamsburg, later as principal of No. 81, Manhattan, and lastly as principal of No. 80 in the same borough. As the successor of the gifted and lamented Charles L. Reason, she found the place no easy one to fill, but she soon won the fidelity of the teachers, the regard of the patrons and the ready obedience of the pupils by her reasonableness, her serenity of temper, her tact and her rare combination of affability and dignity. The period of her service there was both strenuous and ardous. It covered the time of the transition from caste schools to schools of the regular system. Mrs. Garnet—for by that time she had accomplished her second marriage to the Rev. Henry Highland Garnet, who died while minister resident to Liberia. She showed herself fully equal to the, exacting duties and grave responsibilities imposed upon her by the exceptional circumstances. Among the many distinguished graduates of her first school, No. 81, may be mentioned Walter A. Craig, violinist; Richard Robinson, assistant director of music in New York public schools; Misses S. Elizabeth Frazier and Fanny J. Murray, successful teachers in Mambattan, East Side; Ferdinand Washington, well known in business circles, and Harry A. Williamson, a rising surgeon chiropistol. Of the large family of which Mrs. Garnet was the first born, there are now but three survivors—Mrs. Clara T. Brown, Miss Mary, Smith, one of Brooklyn's noted business women, and Dr. S. Maria Steward, resident physi- MAKING A FIGHT ON PROF. BRUCE Three Colored Members of Washington School Board Active WHITES WITH BRUCE R. R. Harner, Prof. Tunnel and Mrs. Harris Want a New Colored Assistant Superintendent New Superintendent Tells Colored Teachers to Stop Running to Board Members and Others to Secure Promotions. Washington, September 19.—The annual fight to oust Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce as Assistant Superintendent of the public schools, in charge of the colored schools, is on, led by the three colored members of the Board of Education—R. R. Horner, Prof. Tunnell and Mrs. Harris, the latter being the new member. Mr. Horner's antipathy for Prof. Bruce dates, it is said, from the time he failed to get Dr. Washington's endorsement for his (Horner's) candidacy for Recorder of Deeds, it being assumed that he thought Prof. Bruce ought to have mixed politics with his position, and secured the Doctor's endorsement for Mr. Horner. Dr. Washington refused to endorse any one. Mrs. Harris' opposition to Prof. Bruce, it has been alleged, is because of her desire to have her brother-in-law, Dr. Montgomery, now one of the supervisors; and a forever assistant superintendent, succeed to the place. Dr. Tunnell's opposition, it has been alleged, is due to the fact that he himself is a receptive candidate for the place, in case they can accomplish Bruce's removal. The three colored members have combined against Mr. Bruce, and the six white members, including Capt. Oyster, President of the board, who believe him efficient and capable, are standing solidly by him, as are also the solid, conservative colored citizens, and as is also the new superintendent of the schools, Dr. Davidson, Dr. Tunnell, who in addition to being a member of the school board is a member of the faculty of Howard University, gave out a remarkable interview last Sunday—remarkable because of its inconsistency, in which he stated that he was opposed to Mr. Bruce, though he had no specific charges to make, and could say nothing against his character. James C. Waters on Situation. Because of the lining up of Dr. Tunnell against Bruce, Howard University, unfortunately, has been dragged into the mix-up, much to the displeasure, it is said, of President Thirkiel, James C. Waters here has sized up the situation accurately in a statement he makes, saying: "There is a Tobiah and Sanballat clique among the colored people of this city which neither Jehovah, Pluto, nor the millions of earth can please. They don't want Bruce, they didn't want his predecessor, or his predecessor's predecessor, nor will they want his successor. Commenting further, Mr. Waters pertinently avers: "I am willing to stake my hopes of a useful career upon the assertion that even if Mr. Bruce is ousted, the situation here so far as the colored schools are concerned will not improve, and if the signs of the times point out anything at all, they seem to me to point out that the school board as at present constituted with its "white members," and its "colored members," and its divided authority, is a well-nigh worthless government agency." Dr. Davidson, the new superintendent, in his address before the colored teachers last Saturday, vigorously inveighed against the practice of teachers running to the board members and outside influence to secure promotions. The fact that the colored members have not been able to dictate appointments and promotions themselves, and that Mr. Bruce has had the temerity to assume to make appointments and promotions based on merit alone is partially responsible, it is said, for the "unholy alliance" of the three colored members to secure his removal. The constant agitation, on the part of colored board members against colored school officials and teachers is demoralizing to the school system, and predictions are freely made that the white public, heartily sick of the interminable fight precipitated by colored-board members, will appeal to Congress this winter to provide a school supervision that will eliminate colored members from the board of education. Prof. Bruce's efficiency as an educator and an executive official is such as to warrant the belief that he will be retained, in spite of the combine of the three colored board members.

The uphass of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Sunday School and Ladies' Auxiliary, together with their invited guests, including ushers from nearly all the colored churches in Greater New York,衣帽ipped in a body at the Abyssinian Baptist Church Sunday evening, and listened to a very timely ushers on Christian Hospitality, Lordliness in Rite A. Clayton Powell Dr. Powell said in part "The church has almost lost the grace of hospitality and cordiality. It has neglected to entertain the strangers that come within her gates and the strangers have to impure looking for social warmth. The church must recognize that man is a social being, that he was created by the Almighty for society and that if the church does not treat him cordially he will go elsewhere, sociability and cordiality in the average barroom, poolroom, ballroom, than in the average church. A man receives a more hearty welcome in a political club than does in Christian congregation. The church is where the environment is unwholesome, but where are they going? If they stand on the corner they are arrested. If they stay in the stuffy faits they die with consumption. Not in the church, in Greater New York has made any provision for the social development of men and women. Christianity means more than plausibly ramming the word of God down the throats of men twice on Sunday and twice on Monday of their faith in Jesus Christ. To save a man is to get him out of a bad environment and put him in a good with Jesus Christ as his example, idea and inspiration. Let the colored Christmas cards be readings rooms, social rooms, gymnasiums sewing rooms, domestic science rooms, physically clean and morally pure, where people can spend their afternoons and evenings in mental and social bettement, and you have a revolution among the people of this city. "In many respects the usher is the most important officer in the church. He can do more to restore the lost grace of socialability anyone on earth may wish for. Christian organization. He is the only officer that has the privilege of meeting every worshipper even before the worshipper hears the chair sing or the minister preach. We all know that great impressions are made by a person who is warm, who is kind, often thought that he would be a good thing if the ushers would stand by the door and shake hands with the members of the congregation as they handshake. The ushers would handshake. I do not mean that new fangled handshake which is in vogue among the four hundred where the body is twisted into the shape of a kangaroo and the tide is swollen. I do not mean a sensation of worms crawling through your nerves and leccles being pushed down your back; but the handshake that has a smiling face of cordiality and social warmth behind it; the handshake that says, "I am to see you and hope you will come again." "There are about 50,000 colored people in Greater New York who do not attend church. If these non-commongers go their sands could be assured that the would be given such a warm reception as the one church in this city inside of six months. People delight to go where they know they are wanted and where they are cordially received. When strangers are met by smiling ushers and given a warm welcome by the members of the congregation, in ninety nine cases out of one hundred in the church, if they happen of the Lord Jesus Christ they will soon fall in love with Him. "A woman said to me the other day that "you go sound in the door and shaking hands with strangers, and asking, 'Wouldn't you rather be called 'fresh' than 'stale'?' Wouldn't you rather have people say you are sweet as a peach, than that you are sour as a pickle?" David prayed, "Preserve me. O Lord! Preserve as you know, to children church members pray. Pickle me. O Lord!" I do not believe that I had any use for our faced, ultra-hot, and altogether plausible individuals who have too much religion to smile and who are too young to be able to learn. I look at a first class church concern. Personally, I haven't any use for people who profess complete holiness. I wouldn't trust them with my pocketbook. I have never known a single one of them to do THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1911 say good in the world. They are too ploons to do good and too holy to be happy. As a great English humourist lay dying of those lonely days, he held his head, and Sir, wouldn't you like to be a Christian? 'No,' said the dying humourist, 'not if he looks like you. Even dying men and women have an use for the toil, the toil, the solemn-as-death Christians. Jesus Christ did not preach a glory theology. His sermons were filled with the fragrance of flowers in the air, the need to be a hard cheery, cordial, optimistic, smiling type of Christianity.' A PROMINENT VISITOR. Rev. A. S.

Big Convention Held in Kings County and Organization Perfected The event of the post week in political circles was the county convention held by colored Republicans at Stuart Hall. In appearance, seating of delegates, enthusiasm, etc., one was founded of the old-tashioned conventions of by some days. There were present over three hundred delegates, representing every district in the county. The convention was called to order by J.

G Worren were appointed as secretaries and later permanently elected Dr. M Jacobs, who was made permanent chairman of the divisions and algebras of the convention and said that the convention represented the largest and most gettably body of colored Republican workers he had seen in the county during his fifteenth years of political activity and marked the right step in the right direction. J D Nixon, then read the reply to their request which had been sent by Chairman William M Calder, and was as follows: "At a recent meeting of the campaign committee, a resolution was adopted authorizing the appointment of a new committee to the county committee. I would therefore, be pleased that committee would suggest names and send them to me at our earliest convenience. The letter, which was claimed to be only a partial reply to the request made, caused much discussion, in which J H Smith, R E. Waddell and C. Cown took the leading part after the orators had exhausted their questions and the committee of twelve there was appointed to five men whose name will be sent to the county leaders." The following names were submitted and recommended: E. H. Wilson, counselor; A. C. Cowan, Dr. E. M. McLeish, Dr. N. H. Leacy and W. A. Seaman. The convention also recommended Lawyer A. C. Cowan as a candidate for Justice, in the Sixth Municipal Court District. After some discussion it was decided the secretaries should inform the leaders of the petition of the convention.

Whatever the older men among Negroes might have thought of the walue and power of money in its re- lation to the problem of the Amer- ican Negro, it is a very certain fact that the younger men, those who are about getting the whip hand in race affairs, are thoroughly aroused to the blessedness of the almighty dollar. They are not only aroused in this respect, but they holdly crown the American dollar not only as al mighty, but as the only thing that is mighty at all. We do not like to have our strong young men feel this why about money, but shat is the way they do feel, and that is the only way they can feel about it, for the dollar mark in American life is the only mark that spells power and position We have all of us {cll to preaching money her of lute with eloquence and zeal, stressing, as we ought to do, the need of moncy in the terri- ble bagtle we are called on constant ly to wage. but we have unforta- nately omitted to preach the need also of character. From the lips of one of the most successful of young colored men we heard that the only solution to the vexations that trouble our hearts was money, money, and more money. He spoke no. idle speech. but the belicf that was in him. He is a type. With his -grow- ing kind arguments in support of character as also a.gecessary element in. the solution for which we all of us labor are words wasted. This is bad, bad for the race, bad for the children and worse for the future. No money-changer can of himself five.and no money-changing people can of themselves develop the power ‘of 2 permanent growth. Behind the dollar is the man, and if bebind the dollar there is neither man nor hope of him, of what use is it? Hand in hand with our materia! growth, 2 growth upon which we do well to dwell, must go also the moral and spiritual growth of us; the de- termination that we shall merit all that the dollar can buy. and the preparation that will ‘enable us to enjoy in no stiperficial sense what- ever is bought. What is character? The ancients went up against that question, and came out the worse for the battle. There are, however, cer- tain fundamental principles in cor- rect living, and, therefore, in correct development, that are debatable not eren among those who at the drop of the hat are ready to debate upon the color of longitude or the shape of water. These principles are not alone for the preacher, nor the learned, but are at the hands of all who may seck them. Honesty, honor, determination, patience, toil, temper- ance, self-control—upon these as stepping-stones. men may rise to higher things. “If we can give the French character. we can make France free,” remarked a stateaman who had seen the Revolution turn France from a madhouse of blood ato a State of free men. The French. | mre of the wealthiest of peeples and ie intellect of Europe, needed char- ucter, according to one of them, to make them 2 well-rounded people. The American Negro needs money, | und he needs much of it. He needs |. more than he can get hold of hon- 1 cstly in the next century, but he]. needs character more than money. His friends, in the race and out of | t, will tell him this whether he likes t or not. The theme of the preacher, | be subject of the writer. the com: | mand of the leader, and the word of he teacher, in season and out of sea- |‘ on, ought to be money and char-|\ eter, to-day and to-morrow. But he greater of these is character. é The season is upon us when the college and university throw open their doors to the ynung men and women of the race. Many are return. ing to devote another year to know!- edge, while thousands for the first time will seek the ways of wisdom The educational institutions in the South have done more for the Negro people ia forty years than educational isietitations have done for any people before in em bundred years. As we count the sessoas and mark the achiiswpmente of the people since the (08s Me Neem, WE mere: & the revolution wrought by the book: and a consecrated army of teachers Everywhere in the South the preacher and the teacher ought to go among the people, pick theit brightest youth and urge them-to seek a school of training. In this way we can build up a leadership, not with respect only to certain relations sought to be ex: tablished, but particularly with re- spect. to scholarship, to science, to art and to the professions. . Sight must not be lost of the preparation the great _mase of people ought to have in the trades, in agriculture, par- ticularly agriculture, and the house- at, economy, -* To us it is encouraging to note that ‘much of the silly debating that got ‘into the life of the race ten or, fifteen “years Ago about education, its need and kind, has passed out. What the Negro needs is education; the kind he needs no man can, establish. Rooker Washington was never wiser than in hig refusal to set metes and bounds for the training of colored men and women, His opinion is our opinion, and the accepted rule of all who ‘study with a serious mind the situation in the South: an equal op- portunity for both the masses and those who from the masses aspire for the wider and higher life What is education? As many answers to. this riddle as there are philosophers in the council we have had. But it is safe to say that edu- cation, whether the spirit or method nf it, gives us the power to see two stars where we saw only one before and makes twa hulle of cottan Rrow where aniy one grew hefere Education they tell us) means ser vice, and he is net educated wha does not serve his fellowman That i< true, but education means stey ind: vidual emancipation, not erty out of selfishness, but alse out of poverty. Tt is a poor education that gives the man, or the waman, no power to lift himself up. Celored people can af- ford to disregard the warring ideas and opinions residing education and insist upon the children getting hold of useful knowledge. that is, knowl ede that will help up all. forward | to,a wider fife, and to a higher nice in'the higher life of the country, Any, education that does this is the proper | education.

Far from it, On the contrary, we be- lieve that the churches, collectively, are sod at the core, and that those who control them are, in the main, good and honest men who carnestly desire that their denominations shall stand for those moral forces which make for the strength and the glory ‘of our manhood and womanhood. The church is the silent force winch stunds for all that is highest and best in our citizenship. Without the domination of its silent force, its inoral power, the “puwers, the forges of sin, and evil, of darkness. would sean poison the fountains of social life and undermine the foundations of the state, of the nation, The two forces front exch other im all of the relations, in all of the walks of fife, the good and the evil: and this never trier in the Bistory. of the Republic than it is toulay, To strengthen the hands Sf the ministry, while censur- ing its evil practices, is to protect society, the state, from the madness of the mob, the incendiary, the thief. aud the gamblers, crooks and high- rollers of ai! sorts.

A remarkable: thing under the sun happened at I.os Angeles, Cal, last week, when the schools were opened for the news school year. A hundred young people took blankets or other covering and slept on the steps and in the corridors, so that they would be sure of registration in the trade ‘or husiness school when the doors should be opened on the morrow. Their mothers carried them the necessary food.

We educate. every year thousands of young people away from the farm, and the domestic ser- vice, and the manual labor employ- ments, and unless we make business openings of our own for them, we unfit them, in linge measure, for the work of life. The agricultural and mechanical schools are good that we have, we have not enough of thém; but all cannot be farmers and me- chanics; all have not the inclination ‘or the aptitude to be such; therefore. the growth of Negro professional and business interests is necessary to save our educated children from stagna- tion and death, It is casier to fall off a log than to get back upon it Leave the razor and shooting iron at home, In a scrap a man is safer without them, A few bruises -which arnica will heal is better than the electric chair or a short term on “the Island The public schools are all open.

What Purposes They Are Serving and How Eventually They Will Accomplish. Good For Men and Angels and Bring Glory to God. Springfield, Mass., Sept. 17th. -Both of Pastor Russell's din courses here today were heard with close attention by large audiences. One was on the "Hereafter;" the other, which we report, was on the Divine Permission of Evil, from the text "Even so." CORRECTION [PASIC KNUSSELL] of Eth. from the text, "Even Father, for so it seemed good in Thy light" (Luke 1, 21). Pastor Russell declared that only those who, through the Bible, get at least a glimpse of the glorious outworking of the Divine Plan, understand God's reasons for permitting the reign of sin and death, of sorrow and pain, which has prevailed amongst mankind for six thousand years. The Anglighy, he said, designs to teach great lessons to angels and to men. Hence the Divine dealing with mankind has been very different from His dealing with angels. The holy angels, being perfect, have known no sin, no death penalty, no sorrow, sickness or pain. They might have had some conception of Divine Justice. Wisdom, Love and Power, but could never have really understood their great Creator, had it not been for His dealings with humanity—His permission of sin and death among Adam's posterity. Cost of Sin to Man. Not only was Divine Love manifested in providing a Redeemer, but Divine Justice was exemplified in rewarding that Redeemer with the highest glory—"far above angels, principalities and powers." Additionally, God's love has been seeking out the loyal of mankind, the saintly few, to be the Bride of Christ—to be associated with the Redeemer in His glorious Kingdom, which is shortly to bless and uplift the race of Adami from sin, from meanness, weakness and death. When we think of the aggregate of sin, sorrow, pain, the calamity of death, for six thousand years, the picture is truly awful; but we should remember that this has been distributed, here a little and there a little, amongst the twenty thousand millions of our race, one-half of whom, perhaps, have died in infancy. Few have lived to three score years and ten. I believe that even the most sorrowful lives known to the world have had compensatory seasons of pleasure, joy, happiness. I believe that only a few have died regretting that they had been born; and I am sure that with a proper understanding of Divine future provision they would not regret their birth, with its attachments of sorrow. Faster Russell believes that human restitution, during Messiah's reign of a thousand years, will, in some respects, bring to the willing and obedient greater joy, greater blessing, greater appreciation of perfection and righteousness than if they had not known imperfection and slim. Thus mankind will really lose nothing by the Divine permission of evil, but, on the contrary, will, by the increased knowledge gained through the reign of death and evil, learn lessons which will be of advantage to them to all eternity. Divine Power Revealed Divine Power Revealed. As the penalty of death reveals Divine Justice, and as the redemption from that penalty reveals Divine Love, so the recovery of mankind from death will reveal Divine Power, as nothing could reveal it. Pastor Russell declared that the power which God promised to save us in the resurrection of the Church to the spirit plane, and in the resurrection of the world to the human plane of being, will surpass any power ever exhibited in the past. To create the world, the angels and all things is truly a wonderful manifestation of Divine Power; but to recreate man, after he has gone back to earth, is something still more wonderful. In restoring man's soul or being, his intellect, his thoughts, Divine power will be exemplified in a manner which is beyond human comprehension. When we remember the billions of earth's dead, and all their experiences, which were imprinted in their memories, the power to enshrine the full Resurrection of the dead was lost so Infinitas as to be uncontainable, though we felt the promise. Pastor Russell deli- nated the revelation to angels and many dwarfs had悲 from the beginning, and regulating the affairs of the world ordained end and himself being order out surprises anything that them have ever dreamed of their Creator.

The illustrious Prince Hall was 27 years old when he alarmed the In- terior down of British Military Lodge No. 10 in 1775. Craftsmen to the right of us. Bach- calle, musketry, a phalanx of gold. And thus we have an idea of the manner in which "official order" No. 1, office of the M. W. Grand Master, Henry A. Spencer, summoning us to assemble at a given point in the second Masonite district, Brooklyn, on Sunday, Sept. 17, when the sun reached meridian, was obeyed. Our mission was the laying of the corner-ritles, mochies and satirists deny the fact that the lodge room is "analogous" to the church, a casual glance at this vast assemblage of brethren of the craft will forever stand as a beacon light to the disbeliever. This commentary would be incomplete without giving praise to the concourse of theologians who carried out the church program among whom whom M. W. Moss, M. Oss, document and a masterly address; may the inspiration which we received assist us in carrying out our great work. The cornerstone was laid by the M. W. Grand Master assisted by the following brethren: W. O. Payne, J. J. Donham, W. F. Abbott, William Jacobs, Robert Jackson, A. L. Christian, John Jackson, Henry H. Hard, Harv. A. J. Pope, R. R. Poor, A. J. Jopp, Thomas H, Alston; true to their trusts in the assistance rendered by the Knights Templar who assisted the craft from the lodge room to the church and return; showing to the world how Masons love one another. quite recently I met my poetic friend, James W— of Boyer Lodge, No. 1, "Tom," said he, "I'll be blessed if your age, the boys can guess" "James," said I, "you have it straight, I must confess to twenty-eight." 一 "Birthright" said I, "If the bode said persona non gratata, so south persona." 一 Stand for the right if you stand alone, and yet we find that there are Bothern who will palliate wrongdoing and so far as to furnish civil bond and shield the culprit in every way from Masonic proscription. You would still see weakness in the true sense of our obligations. The law says "He who aids or abets a crime is equally guilty with the criminal."

Anderson's Labor Day Dance The two Labor Day dances given Charles H. Anderson were a great success. The after concert we attended for the evening danced the guests animated to easily as Nathan and continued to tour in initial more than seven lively people and upbeat were dancing. At 10:00 the real fun began to the energetic markers. With their crowded and each couple of their girls ground the hall found themselves towned in various colored sequins. Not a single nipple marched the evening's pleasure. Everyone had an evening of pleasure long to be remembered and the only disappointment during the evening was when the orchestra so far forgot themselves as to play "Home Sweet Home" at 4:30 m. The Metropolitan Association of Dancing Masters of which trof. Anderson is a member, will present to the public a new dance within a few weeks and on Thursday, October 12 Mr. Anderson will hold the Columbus Day reception which will far surpass his Labor Day dance. OFFICER BARRE SUMMERED Last Sunday evening Officer S. J. Battle was given a surprise at his home, No. 27 West 136th street. A large committee representing the Red Caps at the Grand Central Station, among whom Mr. Battle used to work, called to pay "their respects," but before the visit had gone far the committee had more "respects" than Mr. Battle dreamed of. Through Samuel Boyd, who had been chosen as spokesman, the Red Caps presented Mr. Battle with a beautiful Tiffany watch, valued at $70, as a token of appreciation of both his achievements and his conduct when he worked along with the boys around Grand Central Station. Mr. Boyd made a happy speech. Mr. Beatte was taken off his feet, andumbled out a reply, but his friends knew his heart was all right. His appreciation, he said, would live along with the tick of the watch. The idea originated with Chief Attendant Jas. H. Williams, chairman of the committee which was composed of S. H. Boyd, J. F. Scott, C. H. Hankinson, F. Branch, A. S. Campbell and Frank Pascio. BOOKER T. COMMITTEES. In Texas Capital Are All Hurry and Bustle Preparing to Receive Great Educator.

AFTER all has been said and done those who closely follow the movements of the theatrical' folk must confess that the theatrical skies are claring for the colored vaudevillian and that he has some just cause for being in better spirits than he was a year ago. A glance at the programs of the five large time vaudeville houses in New York City will show that four of the number have colored acts on this week's bill. At Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre the Kratons are entertaining in their boo rolling act. The Musical Spillers are making merry at the Bronx Thea- HARRY KRATON of The Kastons tre, the Kemps are doing a neat singing and dancing turn at the Colonial Theatre, while Aida Overton Walker and Company are dancing and singing themselves in high favor with the patrons of the Alhambra. The Fifth Avenue Theatre is the only big time house where a colored act is not appearing. The 911-12 theatrical season colored acts have been appearing with marked frequency on the bills of the various United time houses in both New York and Brooklyn. Across the bridge the Orpheum, Greenpoint and Bushwick Theatres have all been using colored acts. Twelve months ago one could count but three or four colored acts that were working on the big time without laying off from three weeks. To-day more acts are working and have more consistent booking. When Keith and Proctor a few years ago closed the Union Square Theatre, the Twenty-third street house and their vaudeville theatre in West 125th street, and turned them into motion picture theatres the people began to shake their heads and solently explain that the motion picture houses would soon put all the large vaudeville houses out of business. The situation certainly did not look very rosy for vaudevillians desirous of spending two months or more in and about New York City, for the closing of three or more two-a-day houses meant a great loss to hundreds of acts. Percy Williams has been the good fairy to the variety performer, and has been the chief cause of ameliorating the situation in Greater New York. First he opened the Greenpoint Theatre in Brooklyn. Last season he put the Bronx Theatre on the big time, and this season he has started the lovers of vaudeville in Brooklyn to talking with his new house—the Bushwick Theatre which is elaborate in its appointment. Mr. Williams now conducts six large vaudeville houses in Greater New York—the Colonial, Alhambra and Bronx Theatres in New York City, and the Orpheum, Bushwick and Greenpoint Theatres in Brooklyn. It is well known that Percy Williams is partial to colored acts and has no hesitancy in booking them if they are of a two-day caliber. The decision of the management of the Dockstader Theatre at Wilmington, Del, to color colored acts in the future involves the process of concluding information joyfully received by colored waudeville agents. For a number of years the booking agents have been informed that the Wilmington house did not care to play colored acts, but this season the management changed its policy, and first booked Stewart and Marshall, who were the hit of the hill last week. The small time theatres are providing work for many performers. Motion picture houses are still springing up like mushrooms in Greater New York as well as throughout the country, and the colored variety artists are very much in demand. In Canada the motion picture houses are evincing a desire to book colored acts, and many vaudevillians of color write that they are 'enjoying success across the line. The greatest demand for colored acts is being made by the colored theatres. Philadelphia, Chicago and Washington are credited with writing more colored motion picture houses than any of the others, and quite a number of such acts are used in these cities weekly. New colored theatres are opening in various sections of the country each week, and the demand for colored acts is increasingly increasing. Managers of colored houses are still experiencing some little difficulty in secreting colored acts. This is particularly true in the South. The booking problem will never be solved by colored managers until a booking agency is formed to regulate routes and salaries of performers. At this time the majority of colored acts playing over the major circus declare that they are THEATRICAL COMMENT 一 EDIT BY not opposed to working at colored houses as far South as Washington, but that they do not care to go farther South, as the managers do not want to give them salaries paid them elsewhere. If this be true the managers of colored houses in the South should get together with the managers of the East and Central West and organize an association. The question of salary should be gone into thoroughly and an agreement reached as to what should ordinarily be paid single acts, teams, quartets, and large acts. Then central booking office should be established and the patrons of colored acts throughout the country will have an opportunity to see more and better colored acts. Colored managers must remember that one must spend money in order to make it, and that to get drawing cards they must separate themselves from their currency. Such is the policy followed by successful white showmen. THEATRICAL COUTINGS The Roys are at Armory Hall, Riverpoint, R. L. Jones and Grant are at the Savoy Theatre, Atlantic City.

Rosamond Johnson called at Mr. Dillingham's office several days ago, he tore off his shirt and was informed by the producer that a finale was more sadly needed than a song. Mr. Johnson and J. Leuble Hill got busy, with the result that his finale was selected from the list submitted.

STAGEOLOGY AT CAPITAL CITY The week of September 11 "Jolly John Larkins, surrounded by a large and excellent troupe, were seen at the Howard Theatre in a funny and entertaining comedy entitled "Royal Sam." The play avoids of any unpleasant suggestions or situations, which is to be the everlasting credit of those responsible for the show. Gaines and Brown are at the Chelsea Theatre putting on a clean and acting act. They depict some fine dips in the line of character sketching. Sam Gaines says "Washington, D. C. has got 'em." Louis Mitchell, the original "Suey man of the Chelsea," is booking some fine acts for the show. He is having many repairs and changes made in the house. It is his plan to have the house remodelled to the extent that the stage will accommodate members in the future with greater facility. Ford Dabney, manager and owner of the Ford Dabney Theatre, reports that he is making rapid progress in organizing a vauduille circuit. Susie Sutton continues to be the big daddy of the theatre. She has been at this house continuously for more than five months. Wiggins and Wiggins were at the Dabney Theatre last week. They gave quite a clever and pleasing treat to the children. Elia Jones was on the end and came in for a large share of the applause. Mr. and Mrs. J. Sherman Hunnicutt entertained at dinner last Wednesday evening in honor of Prof. and Mrs. H. Hunnicutt, the present were Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Hunnicutt and daughter and W. P. Bayles.

Bradford and Robinson are held over for a second week at the Cholea. The management of the Minneaha Theatre is planning the enlargement of the house. A new stage and commodious dressing rooms are to be built. And Gee, the singer girls, are playing the only Theatre in Baltimore.—W. P. B. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BY LESTER A. WALTON SEARCH FOR A "WHITE HOPE." FINDING a "white hope," one who will be able to provide Champion "Jack" Johnson at least several rounds of lively entertainment, seems to be a hopeless task these days. Each week ushers in a new "white hope," who, after he has given an exhibition of his little prowess, is ushered out of the back door in a woeful state, both mentally and physically, and with all the aspirations he once possessed relative to some day being Johnson's antagonist shattered and as badly damaged as the ambitious one's physiography. Many of our white writers are commencing to think that the Caucasian is really engaged in doing a "hoping against hope" stunt, and the plaintive cry has been set up in the white press for a white man who can meet Johnson in the squared arena and hand him a punch that will will the black champion in the Land of Nod. An editorial in the New York Morning Telegraph, under the caption "The Negro Johnson Stand-Invincible in the Fighting World," in which the question is pathetically asked, who can come forward and demonstrate his superiority over the Negro, follows. Are things what they seem? Is the Caucasian played out? Where is the white man who will take the conceit out of the big Negro, Jack Johnson? Is the dark throwback stood invincible in the prize ring and defied the world to find a white man who can whip him. There was some hope that Carl Morris, who resembles a battering ram, might stand some distance from his son; but not so. Morris was badly beaten by a smaller man than himself, and Flynn, his conqueror, is not match for Johnson. The Negro put him to sleep in short order out in San Francisco one day. Then he sent Johnson into slumberland? Nowhere, so far as we can see. Since Flynn's victory over Morris last week the white writers seem to have about concluded that it will be a long, long time before some Caucasian will be holder of the heavyweight championship title. Morris was taken out of the ring with his face resembling a piece of uncooked hamburger. Two weeks ago the women folks in his neck of the woods might have referred to him as a fine-looking man, but since his fight with Flynn it would require the attention of every member of the Woodbury establishment and other dermatologists to make Morris a thing of beauty, if for but a short time only. Nine-tenths of the spectators at the Flynn-Morris fight wanted Morris to win, and had he decisively defeated Flynn he would have been proclaimed the logical "white hope" to fight Johnson. But, alas! Flynn, who was easily whipped by Johnson a few years ago, was so unkind to Morris that some of the spectators are yet wondering whether the affair was a boxing match or a modern exhibition of leading the innocent to slaughter. When the Morning Telegraph asks "Where is the white man who will take the?" is should include in its query Sam Langford, Sam MacVea, Joe Jeanette and other colored fighters who today are defeating all white fighters that come before them. The situation is truly an unusual one. The four leading fight- series for the local colored championship. The score. LINCOLN GIANTS ROYAL GIANTS Poles, cf. b. b. a. c.

In their last game of the season with the Cuban Stars at Olympic Field Sunday the Lincoln Giants put up a dull, listless exhibition, making eight errors and finding it difficult to hit Mendez. The score resulted 10 to 5 in the Cubans' favor. The usual snappy article of ball put up by the Lincoln was missing. Jimmy Lyons, the fast young fielder formerly with the St. Louis Giants, and Poles showing more activity than the rest. Lyons' presence on the team strengthens it materially. Buckner started to pitch for the Lincoln Giants, but was taken out in the fourth inning and Johnson substituted. "Green River" was pitching a good article of ball, but was not given good support. The players worked better behind Johnson. Mender struck out eleven players, the heavy-hitting Lloyd striking out twice.

Holbrook, 3d; time, 104-5 sec. 100-yard Hurdle Race—Won by Frank JACK TIMMERIGHT AND DUNNSON ers of the world to-day are Negroes, and there is not a white man in sight who is considered a serious contender against the weakest member of the black quartet. Never before in the history of the ring has the superiority of the black fighter over the white fighter been more pronounced than at this time. With "Jack Johnson as the "Pooh Bah" of pugilism, and Langford, MacVea and Jeannette as his able lieutenants, the quartet forms an invincible combination—one which, in comparison makes the white fighters appear as does a two spot to an ace in a game of whist. The inability of the white fighters to cope with our colored pugilists is generally admitted. The central figures in our principal boxing contests between heavyweights are Negroes, and the men who are spoken of as most likely to give Johnson a warm argument in the ring are Negroes. Since the Langford-Jennette contest a few weeks ago there has been less talk about the Bostonian putting up a great fight with Johnson in the event of their coming together. Up to that time there were many who did not hesitate to say that if the two met Langford would come out of the big end of the horn. As Jennette, who is not nearly as clever as Johnson, gave Langford all he could (admitting that Jennette was careful to mix in the bad news that Johnson is acknowledged that it is not highly probable that Langford would prove the champion's master were they to ever fight. A combat between the two would simply be the case of a good little man meeting a good big man, and unless Johnson has gone back since he defeated Jeffries, he should have no difficulty in winning out in such a contest. But back to the appeal sent out by some white writers for the prompt appearance of a "white hope." The situation does indeed lead those engaged in hoping to gloomy admit that prospects are not bright. No, the Caucasian has not played out as a hero of the prize ring, but he is simply out of the limelight at this time. The situation should suggest to the whites that no race—black or white—can be headliners in everything indefinitely. History has proven that. We are afraid that we cannot give those who are clamoring for a "white hope" any conglation just now. And to quote the Morning Telegraph, which answers its own question, "Where is the man who will send Johnson to slumberland?" by saying "Nowhere, so far as we can see," we can only say that the answer voices our sentiments; for the colored fighter is destined to occupy the center of the pugilistic stage for some time to come. --- Royal Giants. 12: Lincoln Giants. 3. The Royal Giants and the Lincoln Giants met last Thursday at American League Park in the first game of a series for the local colored championship. The Royals won from the Lincoln in a canter, the score ending: Royal Giants. 12: Lincoln Giants. 3. Manager Connor of the Royals, claims his team could have made at least another run, but that some of the members of his team are superstitious about thirteen. A noisy bunch of fans went out to American League Park to see a closely contested game, as the teams had not met before this season in New York, and both sides were confident of victory. For several days the principal subject discussed in the public places on 35th street was about the scheduled game between the Royals and the Lincolns, and it is said that the many differences in opinion made betting good. However, instead of the contest being a battle royal it was more of a summer afternoon's picnic for Manager Connor's men. McClelland started to pitch for the Lincolns, but the Royals appeared to be on too intimate terms with Danny's slants and he retired in favor of Redding, who pitched the game out. All pitchers looked alike to the Royals and Redding was also rudely treated, the opposing batsmen hitting him hard. "Pop" Andrews had his slow ball working to his satisfaction and Rod McMahon's men could not hit him when his meant runs. The feature of the game was Kindle's catch of Lloyd's hot liner, labeled for at least three bases with two of the bag in the eighth inning. The score. ROYAL GIANTS LINCOLN GIANTS r. b. o. a. e.

Alfred Tawless, Jr. pastor of Straight Uni- versity chapel, one of the most tireless and energetic members of the race in whe City of New Orleans as well as one of the best equipped, educationally speaking.

Adams, second vice-president; John T. James. secretary; . Anthony Doublet, financial secretary: Louis Maspero, " treasurer. and Joseph Wiltz, sergeant-at-anms, offi- cers of the league.
