VOL. XXV. No. 9. NEW ENGLAND GREETS EDUCATOR Dr. Washington, Gets Warm Welcome in Boston and Other Cities TALKS AT HARVARD Address's Large Body of Stu- dents at Harvard Union Club- house on "Negro Progress" HONOR GUEST AT LUNCHEON Entertained by Twentieth Century Club—Appears Before Large Cultured Audience in Vermont. Hospital to Turn New York Ann Boston, Mass., Nov. 29.—During the past week Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, has been in and about Boston and New England, busily engaged in delivering a series of addresses, and bringing to thousands a message of hope and optimism regarding the future of the Negro in America. The leaders of thought and opinion in this section have been thrilled by the eloquence and saneness of his utterances, and everywhere he has been enthusiastically received. Thursday night, November 23, Dr. Washington spoke to a cultured audience in the large Colonial Theatre, at St. Johnsbury, Vt. Arriving in Boston on Friday, he spoke that evening under the auspices of the Brotherhood Club of the West Medford Congregational Church, one of the most fashionable houses of worship in that wealthy suburb. On Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock was the great Century Club, an organization begun of the most prominent business and professional men in the Hub City, and one which just two days before had entertained President Lowell of Harvard University. At 2:30 that same afternoon, Dr. Washington spoke under the auspices of the Heptocean Club, the most exclusive women's literary organization in Somerville, Mass., and one of the largest women's clubs in New England. The climax of Dr. Washington's series of triumphal meetings was reached Monday night when he addressed the Harvard students at the Harvard Union Clubhouse, in Cambridge. The large living room of the Union was packed with students, professors and their friends, and standing room was at a premium. The subject of Dr. Washington's address was "Negro Progress." Taking the figures of the last census, he showed the wonderful progress made by the Negro in the last ten years. His talk was full of wit and wisdom, and time and again he was cheered to the echo, and at the conclusion given an ovation such as only college students know how to give. A Harvard professor who was present was heard to say: "Dr. Washington's address to-night was one of the finest I have ever heard anywhere, and I have heard all the great orators of our time. In the matter of holding an audience and arousing their enthusiasm, I consider Dr. Washington the peer if not the superior of any living orator." COLORED SCHOOLS REPRESENTED Twenty-fifth Annual Convention of the American Agricultural Colleges Held in Columbus. Special to The New York Am COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 28—Eight states were represented by Negro schools at the 25th annual convention of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, held here recently. The colored representatives held a special conference in Townsend Hall at the Ohio State University. The meeting was called to order by A. C. Monahan, specialist of Land Grant College Statistics, United States Bureau of Education. President Byrd Prillerman of the West Virginia Colored Institute was chairman, and President Walter S. Buchanan of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Normal, Ala., was secretary. The welcome address was delivered by President W. O. Thompson of the Ohio State University, and the response was made by President Nathan B. Young of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, Tallahassee, Fla. United States Commissioner Hon. P. Claxton delivered an address in which he presented some plans by which he hopes to greatly improve the work of the Negro Land Grant Schools. He declared that he was in favor of equal opportunity for all. R. W. Stimson, Special Agent for Agricultural Education for Massachusetts, by invitation, delivered an address on "Cultural and Vocational Education." The address was most practical and helpful. Each representative of the schools present then THANKSGIVING WITH THE FOLKS gave a brief synopsis of what his school is doing. The junior school is the most important school in the city, and the head of the school is the president chairman of the conference to make arrangements for the coming year. Following was the representation by states: Alabama, President W. S. Buchanan; Delaware, President -Jason; Florida, President N. B. Young; Mississippi, President Martin; North Carolina, President J. B. Dudley, Principal T. S. Inborden and Prof. Blutford; West Virginia, President Byrd Prillerman and Prof. A. W. Curtis; Georgia, Prof. P. C. Clark; Virginia, Prof. Graham of Hampton Institute. GARAGES DRAW LINE Charges that Colored Chauffeurs Are Discriminated Against True, but Colored Men Are New Conducting Thriving Garage Establishments as the Result. Upon further investigation by THE Acz, it has been found that the charge made a few weeks ago that the colored chauffeurs of New York City were being discriminated against, many garages refusing to store automobiles operated by colored men, is true. The Knickerbocker, White Steamer, Sterns and Lincoln Square garages refuse to store all cars driven by colored chauffeurs. It is admitted by some colored chauffeurs that there are white owners of automobiles who hire colored men to operate their car and who are also asked to wait on the table and do yard work. It is claimed, however, that in many instances white chauffeurs are required to perform similar service. There are many colored chauffeurs who only drive cars and refuse to work around the house. J. W. Hudspeth, instructor and manager of the Cosmopolitan Automobile School, 213 West 52d street, in speaking of the situation, said to an Acz representative: "The attitude of the white garages in refusing to store machines operated by colored chauffeurs, while unfair, at the same time make it good for such active and intelligent colored men as J. Albert Roberts and Ben Thomas, who conduct up-to-date garages for colored chauffeurs. Then there is Felton's Auto Transportation Company at 304-6 West 49th street, which is the largest garage owned by colored men in New York, having six floors and basement, which furnishes space for storing 130 cars. He has 120 students daily; employs seven white brass cleaners, five colored cleaners and washers and two-thirds of the chauffeurs who store their cars with the concern are white. He has no trouble whatsoever. The name can be said of J. Albert Roberts and Ben Thomas. Then there is James Mitchell, 346 West 33d street, who is not only the manager of a garage, but a first-class mechanic. So, so far as I can see, the colored man does not lose anything by the narrow-minded attitude of the white garage managers." YOUTHFUL LOVERS WED HARVON, Conn., Nov. 29.-Herbert Pope, eighteen years old, and Mary Crossling, fourteen years old, were joined in wedlock last week by the Rev. B. W. Swain, at the A. M. E. Zion Church. The young people have been sweethearts for some time. PUBLIC MARKED ABOUT ODD FELLOWS' BUILDING Structure Not Nearing Completion in Atlanta as Reported FOUNDATION NOT YET LAND So Far. Proposed Building Consists of Hole Slitown Fast Depth, with Water and Nest Proterminating. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 28.—To use a slang expression heard frequently, the members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Georgia are about to be handed a lemon which will be as large and sour as the one presented the order in the form of the building in Philadelphia which was erected at a cost of many thousands of dollars, but rich has not yielded a cent of income to date. Although there are hundreds of Odd Fellows in Georgia who do not favor the idea, the order in that State is nevertheless to build a structure in Atlanta. A few days ago one of the daily papers published an account of the handsome office building nearing completion, which is being erected by the Negro Odd Fellows of Georgia, with a picture of the structure, showing how it would look when finished. Mention was made that the building would be in advance of some of the modern sky-scrapers of Atlanta. Although an effort is being made by the promoters to show the public that the proposed building is almost completed, investigation shows that such is not the case. The facts are these: That the lot is simply a hole about 16 feet deep, located at Auburn avenue and Bell street; that water and mud predominate and an effort to put up a foundation so far has been unsuccessful, although cement and concrete have been freely used. It is rumored that it will cost thousands of dollars alone to build a foundation, as the water and mud do not seem inclined to give way for the concrete and cement very easily. So instead o a building nearing completion, as reported, it will probably be months and months before the proposed structure will be ready for occupancy. PREACHERS ELECT OFFICERS At the session of the Interdenominational Preachers' meeting, held at St Mark's M. E. Church Monday, the following officers were ected for the ensuing six months: The Rev. F. H. Butler, Montclair, N. J., president; the Rev. H. M. Mullen, Harlem A. M. E. Zion Church; vice-president; the Rev. William R. A, Palmer, St. John's M. E. Church, Newark; secretary; the Rev. W. H. Brooks, St. Mark's M. E. Church, treasurer. Dr. William P. Hayes of Mt. Olivet Church and Prof. A. W. Mitchell of Panaola, Ala., addressed the meeting. SIGN MORE FOR TUSKEGEE Tuskegee, Ala., Nov. 28.

Special to The New York Times POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., Nov. 29.—It was a big day for the members of the New Zion Church last Sunday, for the handsome brick and cement building, located at Cottage and Smith streets, was formally dedicated, on which occasion the deeds, covering both ground and edifice, were handed over to the congregation by the donor, William W. Smith, the noted philanthropist of Poughkeepsie. Accompanying Mr. Smith were his wife, son and grandson, and many of the girls from his establishment on Market street. During the service he appeared visibly affected by the sincerity of the homage paid him, and particularly by the ovation tendered him at the close of the services, when it became impossible for him to leave the church for some time, so expressive were those in the audience in their desire to thank him individually for what he had done for the colored citizens of Poughkeepsie. The little church, which is a two-story brick structure surmounted by belfry, was packed to the doors, and many well known business men of Poughkeepsie were present. The dedicatory sermon was delivered by the Rev. L. G. Mason, P. E., who selected as his text for the occasion. "Upon this Rock I build my Church." It was a strong and forceful sermon reaching the hearts of the people. Following the offertory, when over $100 was collected, the Hon. W. W. Smith, ascending the platform of the Church which he was to present to the small, but enthusiastic congregation, in a short though impressive address, congratulated the colored people of Potghhkeepic upon the successful culmination of the years of labor leading up to the present dedication. Had Watched Struggle of Old Church He said he had followed the rising fortunes of the old church from its very inception, through its many vicissitudes until the time arrived to erect a new church when, feeling that he owed something to the colored people of Poughkeepsie he remarked to the pastor if he would consult with an architect and later make known what he wished done, he (Mr. Smith) would assist the church in the furtherance of their plans. With high compliments to the present pastor for his zeal and personal interest in the church's welfare, Mr. Smith presented the deed of the property, free and clear of all encumbrances, with the hope that the edifice would be used for the advancement of the colored race and the spreading of the Kingdom of God in this world. In concluding his remarks Mr. Smith said that it was his earnest desire that the young people take an interest in the church and make it a gathering place and their guide towards parer and more noble lives. Responding to this hearty appeal for the interest of the race in furtherance of religious devotion, the Rev. Benjamin Judd pronounced the donor, William W. Smith, as among the greatest men he (Continued on Page 1.) THE NEGRO'S GREAT NEED Educator Says Colored Men Should Be Taught Scientific Farming--BS Per Cent. of Race Follow Agriculture. special to THE NEW YORK ACA. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 28—Criticism of alleged discrimination toward Indians at the expense of colored citizens is made part of the annual report of Howard University, forwarded to the Secretary o the Interior by President Thirkield. He pointed out that for the 250,000 Indians in the United States the government last year spent $1,430,000, while for the 10,000,000 colored persons only $100,000 was appropriated. "Yet colored teachers in the common and high schools," the report continues, "are expected to meet the requirements of the State authorities. To practice medicine the colored man is required to pass, the same examination before State boards as the white physicians. So also in other professions and pursuits provision must be made for these 10,000,000 of our colored citizens, else it will mean the blind leading the blind and both falling into the ditch at great cost to society and the State." In order to further emphasize the greater need of aid from the government, Dr. Thirkield, in his report says: "While the Rockefeller fund of a million dollars is available for the eradication of the hookworm disease, yet there is the Negro race with tuberculosis, typhoid infection and other diseases wiping out tens of thousands and lowering the vitality and physical efficiency of a race. "At the same time," he continues, "their condition is a positive menace to the white race, with which it is so closely bound up. It is a question of national interest. Here is a race, multitudes of whom are still the prey of the voodoo doctors and conjure men and given to patent nostrums. The pressing need is for the training of men for the instruction of the ignorant and superstitious, men with scientific knowledge and broad views of medicine, men who can put medical knowledge in simple form before the masses and through preventive medicine raise the vitality of a race that is being decimated by disease." Dr. Thirkield adds that the great need of the colored men to-day is more practical study in matters of agriculture. Nearly 85 per cent of the population is 10,000,000, he says, are engaged in agricultural pursuits. Yet there is not a single school for colored persons in the United States where agriculture is a specialty. The report shows that 1,672 students attended the Howard University during last year, coming from thirty-even States and eleven foreign countries. History, administration and the educational buildings were preserved over fifty years ago. Of the nearly 1,500 students in attendance, four-fifths of whom are men, only one in five can be accommodated in present dormitories. "One of the pressing needs of the institution is an assembly hall" large enough to at least seat the student body. The only assembly hall of the university, with 1,500 students in the Rankin Memorial Chapel, which was built especially for religious services, and seats only 600." COSEY RE ELECTED Chosen Head of Knights and Daughters of Taber in Mississippi - Endowment Assessments Raised 'From' $1.80 a Quarter to $1 a Month. Special to The New York Am: COLUMBUS, Miss., Nov. 28. At the session of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor of the International Order of Twelve, held in this city last week, the election of officers was the most interesting feature that came up before the Mississippiians. The Rev. A. A. Cosey was re-elected Chief Grand Mentor over the Rev. C. H. Booker by a majority of 800 out of the 2,300 votes cast. An attempt was made to oust the Rev.

Patterson, grand high priestess; M. S. Stuart, grand treasurer; C. H. Booker, grand scribe; O. H. Campbell, vice grand mentor. Among the speakers were Prof. W. L. Mitchell, Judge J. A. O. Artery, P.

Speak to Tara New York AS: WILBERFORCE, O., Nov. 28.—There has been a very large increase of students this year at Wilberforce University. The new dormitory for girls on the college grounds is now in course of erection; another has just been completed for the senior girls on the state side. Pro. Finch, who has lately returned from London, where he attended the International Race Congress as a delegate, addressed the Y. M. C. A. in their new quarters recently. Last Friday Carly Dixon, the noted pianist, gave a retreat in Galloway Hall. Mr. Financial School is in the process of just in business shown by the present effort to give $15,000 to the Institute for the erection of a building in the county that sufficient money is raised to acquire the property, making this demand in writing: Nuevo Always Been Friendly to Negro. There is one request that I will make of you in the event this year, accept our offer of $15,000 amount for a school building and that we will consummate the construction of the building with lowing inscription: "This building donated to the Negro town, Finston and Gouer, Gouer, and who were friends of the Negroes as always and who are friends to them as friends." The idea to found a Negro town in Sumter County, Ala., was inspired after the burning of the West Alabama Normal Institute buildings on October 29 when the institution suffered a loss of $10,000. At the time Negro pupils were in attendance and many teachers were in the employ of the school. Since the fire most of the pupils who boarded have been unable to attend, and the services of only three teachers are required. the school was founded four years ago by Prof. Mitchell, a Tulane graduate, who so deeply interested a Southern white man in his proposition to start a school in Sumter County in the interest of Negroes that eighty acres of land was given him for the express purpose of founding an agricultural, industrial and mechanical school in the county. The institute is located about 140 miles southwest of Birmingham. Speaking of his visit East, Prof. Mitchell stated to an Act representative: "When our institute began last month I set about securing funds to rebuild. I called on Mr. Pinson who has always been friendly toward the Negro, and he suggested that while I was going about it why not only rebuild the school, but in connection establish a Negro town on the order of Mount-Bayon. One thousand acres of valuable land was offered me at a low figure, and Mr. Pinson also promised to give $15,000 for the erection of a school building. To me the proposition appeared to be such a good one that I as once started to raise the $30,000 to purchase the property, and I am now in the East to get financial aid from those who are interested in Negro education." An educational mass meeting held of the West Alabama Normal Institute will be held at St. Marks M. E. Church December 17. CLARK ANALYTICS Spent to the Hill Bank and Railroad, Mt. Noy., N. B.

Pastor Bolden delivered a sermon of pernices on children; "And the children of the little children, that He should teach them; and the disciples rebuked them. But, when Jesus saw it He was displeased or was moved with pernices, and said unto them; "Fur the little sieve to come unto me; and so such greedy and wretched of God, very well, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child in no wise enter therein." And we took them in His arms, and bleaped his hands upon them. He took 10 hands, and North Eastern Interest Should be held in Children."

Dana Street and Nostead Ave. Music by the children upon children, things done in behalf of them hath been a blessing to humanity. The disciples of Jesus were more interested in the question of how they could be in question of children. This is seen from the fact that when the mothers and guardians were bringing their children to Jesus that he might just touch them, the disciples rebuked those that were unworthy of the new worth and value of children and He who understood his inspiration and illumination His touch would mean to the innocent, plastic litte ones, not only frowned upon His church, but also who grew indignant and rebuked the disciples. The sermon seemed to awaken new life in the church in respect to young people. The Sunday school was largely attended. The Christian Endeavor had a splitted meeting. The meeting of the Lyceum Sunday afternoon, December 4, Mrs. Mary C. Terrell is expected to be present. Mr. Justice is arranging an excellent program each Sunday.

The dinner will be served by the Ladies' Auxiliary. Sunday a sacred concert will be rendered under the management of Mrs. Mary Wynn Allen. Leaders' Entertainment The recent leaders' entertainments, held last month at Mother Zion Church, was highly successful from every standpoint. The leaders were able to marshal every loyal Zion member and friend of the church into a brilliant and creditable working force, with the result that the sum of $1,500 raised last year was nearly equalled. This handsome result of nearly $1,400 is due entirely to the many friends of the church, the united efforts of the class leaders and their members and the magnetic leadership of the chairman of the Board of Leaders, James A. Hopkins, whose fine executive ability, splendid organization and personal popularity contributed largely to the gratifying result. The thanks of pastor, trustees and members are due the many friends outside of the church who worked so diligently to help Mother Zion in her endeavors and one feels that nothing like $1,400 have been realized had it not been for their generous and liberal support. To the new leaders, Miss Jane R. Thomas, Andrew Meidt, R. W. E. Townes and Alford E. Piggott much due to the fine showing made by their successors and better results are confidently looked for next year. The prize, winners were: James A. Hopkins, a gold watch; Charles W. Thomas, a gold watch, and Edward Thomas, a gold-headed umbrella. Through the gold-headed umbrella Hopkins, however, every leader receives the contribution of some of the generous-hearted members of the church. The pastor, Rev. Bolden, contributed the first prize, the board of trustees. Soon after, the board of leaders the third prize. This is how the classes raised money. Class No. 3, James A.

The chapel was well filled with Bermudians and their friends, and as the members fled in behind the choir and lined up full length in the church, colony which the choir marched singing the Recessional Hymn, a most singing scene was presented. The Vicar, the Rev. John W. Johnson, preached a very appropriate sermon in which he pointed out the necessity of giving to the Lord the best of our substance and the use of our talents! His service if we would secure real and delighting blessings from God and Father. He further congratulated the association on its wise selection of competent and loyal officers and commended the old custom of publicly acknowledging their gratitude to the Almighty God for the many blessings received during the year. A special feature of the service was the musical program, which the noted choir evidently wrote of careful training. "Mme. Abbe Mitchell Cooke sang "O Divine Redeemer" with much sweetness. The officers of the association are: President Clarence W. Robinson; vice-president, Mrs. Ross Agys; financial secretary, Mrs. Ellen E. Kennedy; cording secretary, James H. Saunders; chapelin, Miss Florence Joynes; sergeant-at-arms, Symon J. Smith. Brocks Celebrate Silver Anniversary.

A dress can be out seven minutes without guesswork or run fifteen minutes without guesswork.

What have we to be thankful for on this thirtieth day of November, 1911? 1. We are thankful, as President Lincoln phrased it, that "God rules and the government at Washington still lives." 2. We are thankful that we are alive, and have something to wear, and, as Paul Laurence Dunbar put it, "something to eat and a place to sleep." 3. We are thankful that, however obscure the future may look and prove to be, we have the present secure, and can look the future in the face with the confidence both of hope whose "faith removes mountains" and whose "charity covers a multitude of sins." 4. We are thankful that, as President Jackson expressed it, "we are at peace with all the world and the rest of man- Is the National Democratic party ready to nominate a Southern man for president or Vice-President? Are the leaders of the country ready to take ready to such a candidate? The New York Evening Post appears to think so, the apparent hinting towards Gov. Andrew Johnson of New Jersey, and New York Sun thinks so in what he described in his column, "Dept W. University of Michigan, Dept W." THE MAYFIELD SUN Saturday, May 10, 1939 The Mayfield Sun reported that the Mayfield School in Mayfield, Mass., had been closed for a week due to a fire. The school was located at 100 North Street and was operated by the Mayfield School District. The fire was reported to have been caused by a firearm. The school closed for a week to allow the firearm to be extinguished. The Mayfield School District is responsible for the safety of students and staff. The Mayfield School District is also responsible for the safety of the surrounding area. The Mayfield School District is also responsible for the safety of the surrounding area. But our purpose we should be glad to have the Democratic party nominate a Southern candidate for President. We know that the people of the country could be glad of an opportunity to participate in the declaration of such Southern governments as the Southern States have instituted since 1876, and which rule tyrannically, brutally, with a long arm and an oustretched hand in utter defiance of the Federal Constitution as amended, and without constant participation or voicing in it of the army of their citizenship made and pledged to vote by the Federal Constitution as amended; as well also the attitude of antagonism of every Southern stateman in the Congress since 1876 on all those fiscal and economic policies that have made the Republic greater and prosperous at home and respected abroad. We should be glad to have the temper of the national electorate tested at the polls, after a campaign in which Southern State governors and Southern statesmen held economic policies and economic policies had been by the people which is meritorious to the facts which are just. Mr. Frederick Douglass used to roar as a man into the ears of vast audiences. "The shadows murmur while the deeps dumb." We think a Southern campaign for President would find that the national deeps thunder while the shadows are dumb. A four years ago Negro poets and composers were represented very nearly every month in some one of the great digressions, but now we seldom find one of them so represented. Scattered through our own newspapers, however, we find many contributions of prose and poetry that are worthy, and that foreground a good and plentiful literary interest in the fullness of time. The poet was plenty of imagination in the songs, both which the refining processes had invent. In music, both vocal and instrumental, and in composition we listen to and are making a place on the dramatic stage, in Europe and America, of the most encouraging chants, and this has been accomplished in the great details, which it took the pre- EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN. In the ordinary course of human events, it has come to be accepted, success in any given direction costs as much as it is worth, and often a great deal more, and that if it is not paid for before it is gotten it must be paid for afterwards. And this applies to little things as well as to large ones. For a great many years the women teachers of the public schools of New York labored in season and out to secure equal pay for equal service with men. On the face of it the claim was just enough, but there was not enough public sentiment behind it, as the politicians contended, to justify the Legislature in passing the enabling act. But the women continued to seek for relief with a persistency worthy of a just cause and the creation of the necessary public sentiment was gradually created. Constant drilling will bore a hole through a mountain or a river, as has been done here in New York, and in other parts of the world. Recently the New York Legislature enacted a law for the equalization of the pay of men and women teachers. The women regarded it as a great victory. So it looked at the time. How does it look now? It has been announced, as Mayor Gaynor predicted, that the Board of Education will in future prefer men to women teachers; as the one sort will cost no more than the other sort, presumably as men are more capable of doing the higher grade work than women. This decision will be a bomb-shell fallen among the women teachers and those who are preparing to do such work, as nothing has kept the men out of the work so largely but the smallness of the pay as compared with what they can make in other employments. As matters stand there are now 500 women and 140 men on the waiting list, and it is announced that the men will be preferred to the women in filling vacancies, and that the rule will apply as vacancies occur in the future. It is a reasonable inference that the brave women who labored so hard for equal pay for equal work in the public schools did not anticipate any such outcome of their good success, and there will be found plenty of men to sympathize with them in their grievous disappointment. Unfortunately for them mere sympathy, however sincere and profuse, butters no bread. There is another side to the question, however, as it applies not only to women teachers but to their employment generally in the work usually and heretofore done by men. The rule which men receive for any work they do is, or should be, sufficient to enable them to support a home, and is, or should be, an inducement to them to get married and do so. In the old days, before the employment of women in all sorts of work, at one-third and one-half the wage men receive, it was so. Young men looked forward early, first to securing steady employment, and then to securing a wife and a home, with the result that bachelors and old maids were not only scarce in any community, but were looked upon by young and old alike is being uncommon; there, people to stare at in public or tooke fun at in private. It was once a serious matter to be either a bachelor or old maid; now both are as common as marriage and divorce, mainly because women have been educated away from home and home duties and educated to the factory, the department store and the office, where they cultivate masculine habits and a belief in their ability to support themselves on half or a third of the wage which masculine habits require and must have. But they can do nothing of the sort, unless they remain single, and that is an unnatural condition for man or woman, full of the temptations and pitfalls that lead to perdition for the one as for the other. It also develops a race of mannish women who hanker after, club life, after the ballot, after anything that will take them away from the home and its duties, and the proper care and education of the children of the home. Besides defeminizing women and making them unfit for the home work and duties, the wholesale employment of women in factories, stores, offices and schools, at half and a third the wage paid to men, has reduced the wages of men generally who can get employment, and thus crippled their ability to properly maintain a family and home. Men do not therefore now marry as early or generally as formerly. The public school teachers have lost as much as they have gained. But they may gain more husbands and homes by marrying the male teachers who are to replace them in the school room. True youth never grows old, however many wrinkles time may write upon its brow. At the age of sixty-six years, when most women are preparing to die, Madam Sarah Bernhardt, the famous French actress, it is announced, will soon lead to the marriage altar a Flemish actor who is sweet twenty-six years of age. There is hope for the young men of France when their old women live young so long. The police in the city were the first major wounds, have been attended with this of all sorts, as a result of a strike of the drivers in the Street Cleaning Department. The health of the entire city has been endangered by the strike and the refusal of the city authorities to accede to the demand of the drivers, that they be relieved from certain night hour work, and the like. The strike, in its progress, was characterized by much violence on the part of the strikers and their sympathizers, with many broken heads and several murders. Of the 1,107 strikers, it is said but 140 will be reinstated. This is a miserable outcome for the drivers, in the winter days, and when work is so hard to get and to hold. A very large number of the striking drivers are Negroes, and they will find it more difficult to get other employment than their white co-workers. Because this is true everywhere in the North and West Negroes should think it over prayerfully before they strike or give up good jobs, especially in the winter time when rents and foodstuffs are so high in price. The disposition of organized workmen, and of individual workmen to strike regardless of the rights of others, upon large as well as small pretense, is one of the worst of the growing evils of the day. We do not prejudge the drivers. Every man is the best judge of, what he shall do in a given situation, but in doing it he is bound to consider his obligation to himself and those dependent upon him, as well as the rights and feelings of his fellow-citizens. If he do not this he prejudges himself. When an individual employe, for instance, gets angry because he can't have his way, or because he has been rebuked for infraction of rules or other misconduct, and throws up his work in a huff, instead of thinking it over coolly, he not only puts his employer in a predicament, but he puts himself and his family at a disadvantage in the vital matter of rental and food. In the government service and in public service corporations, as well, managers have obligations to the people which they too often and too arrogantly ignore in dealing with discontented employees ARE WOMEN "PERSONS"? The women of California, who have gained the constitutional right to vote, have now another fight on their hands. The Attorney-General of the State has just given it serve on juries in California, despite the constitutional amendment which gives them the right to vote. His reason is interesting, as contravening the theory that statute law is stronger than common law. He says: "Under the common law a jury consisted of twelve free men, and used them in this women were not eligible in adopting an amendment giving women the ballot we made no change in the statute. It will require affirmative action to give women the right to serve on juries." This raises a fine point of law, which the highest court of California, rather than legislative action, may determine. The women have nothing to expect from the Federal courts, unless they can establish the point that they are "persons." The provision is made in the fourteenth amendment, which declares: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State where they reside." Now, are women "persons" within the meaning of the Federal Constitution? The Constitution of California evidently does not regard them as "men" even when they are entitled to vote. EDITORIAL NOTES. The eagle dwells in high altitudes, but he falls down very low in multitudes on Thanksgiving Day. In a recent article in the New York Sunday World, "the danger of wearing too many clothes" is insisted upon. The article makes good reading, but does not convince the large army of people who are in constant danger of not wearing enough clothes, because they cannot spare or have not got the money with which to buy them. Dr. Frederick Cook, the Arctic explorer who failed, was recently booked to lecture in Copenhagen, Denmark, on his experience in the frozen North, but was hissed off the stage. Our Mr. Matthew Henson is succeeding admirably lecturing on the same subject in this country, while Commander R. L. Peary, who went with Mr. Henson to the North Pole, is silent. The police recently made a raid on the street corner and other gangsters in various parts of New York City which should have a good effect. The amount of ruffianism displayed by street gangsters, both small and large, in New York, is disgusting to peaceably disposed patrons who care neither to defend themselves from the vulgarism of it, nor to appeal to the police, because of the inconvenience and loss of time of it. Proper police regulation and control should protect them from such. That is what they pay for. If the parents would lecture their children often upon the importance of street decorum on the way to and from by one sitting there and made in New York City. It may seem a small matter to parents, and each one of them may take it for granted that his children are so trained at home as to need no such lecturing; but, if those who think this way could see the actions and hear the talk of the childrens, as we often do, in the vicinity of the public schools most numerously attended by Negroes, they would get a different view of the matter. And the contentious spirit of many of the youngsters would indicate that they come of a long line of soldiers and are practicing for the time when, as men, they will also become soldiers. Justice can be rigid enough in the South when it has the right man behind it. In refusing to reprieve young Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., who was hung last Friday for murdering his young wife, Gov. Mann of Virginia said: "I believe the best way to prevent such crimes as this is to punish them adequately, certainly, speedily." So. If the rule were adhered to in Virginia, and all of the Southern States, without regard to race or color, there would be more respect for lawful and lawful authority. The one-sided enforcement of law in the Southern States, in the futile effort to make a place for the Negro not his own, is a bone of never-ending contention. Do you own an automobile? No! Well, the increase in the automobile business is one of the most remarkable in the history of any one of our many comparatively new industries. In 1904, for example, 22,830 automobiles were produced, capitalized at $23,084,000, while in 1909, 127,289 were produced, capitalized at $173,817,000, according to the Federal Census Bureau. The capitalization of the whole business, that is, all parts of it was, in 1904, $30,034,000 and $249,202,000. The automobile is fast displacing the horse. It is ceasing to be a vehicle in the reach of the rich only as a luxury, and is becoming one of service within the reach of people of ordinary means. It has opened a splendid field of employment for Negroes, as drivers, which is a better and less barbarous term, than chauffeurs, and in all the large cities they are operating garages as owners or managers. The number of our business and professional men who own automobiles is large and steadily increasing. Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia says, on the eve of retiring from the Governorship to become United States Senator, that fully 900 of the 1,000 convicts in the Georgia penitentiary ought to be released, among them "many Negro convicts," and he "is using the pardoning power freely." It is said that way down at the bottom of him the meanest man has a grain of good. Perhaps it may be so with Gov. Smith. As Secretary of the Interior in President Cleveland's Cabinet, we remember, he was said by Georgia Negroes in Washington be "one of the best friends of the Negro in the Cabinet." But, long after, when he wanted to dominate Georgia politics, he used the helpless Negro as a chopping block to rise upon, making a firebrand of his newspaper, the Atlanta Evening Journal. Now, having served as Governor, and having a long term in the Federal Senate on his hands, if he should have a change of heart and either become the Negro's friend, or let him alone, his appetite would improve in the daytime and he would sleep better in the night time. We do not advise the wise man; we simply make the suggestion. The government of China has been maintaining some 300 Chinese students in the schools of the United States, in order to get the Western spirit and way of things. The outbreak of revolution in China has placed those students in a very unfortunate situation; the government is unable to send them money for their support, as it needs all it has at home to fight the revolutionists. It is a mighty distressing thing to be a student in one's own land without money; to be without it in a strange land is a horror's crown of horrors. It would be a good investment if a few wealthy men in the United States would donate $100,000 towards keeping those 300 students in our schools for a year, at the end of which time peace will have been restored in China and provision made for the completion of their school work. Such a philanthropy would appeal to the 300 students as a brotherly act of a Christian people which the 300,000-000 people of China would long remember. The boards of foreign mission work, if others failed, would do wisely to furnish the needed money. A new administration in Hayti always has to face the troublesome question of its foreign debts. The debts are incurred, for the most part, by the destruction of the property of foreign residents by warring revolutionists, and, money borrowed of foreigners by them to prosecute their revolutions. The successful party has to assume its own obligations as well as those of the parties which came and went before. The new President, Gen. Le Conte, has asked the Joint Mixed Commission for an extension of time for the payment of the claims piled up against the admin- built by the international, international papers of Haiti may be pitied. They got practically nothing but revolution upon revolution for the money exacted of them. Their leading men appear to value their government only as a means to secure enough to live in Paris, or some other European capital, where life is gay and easy to those who have big names and bank accounts. Patriotism in Haiti seems to be confined to the poor, uneducated people, who have defended it in times past with a valor worthy of any people. How can they be protected from their educated soldiers and statesmen? They would like to know. Joseph Leon Israel, of Birmingham, Ala., has been dismissed from the West Point Military Academy without specific cause, and the claim is made that it is because of his race. Perhaps. The Secretary of Navy will investigate the case. After awhile the question of race will not be raised against the Jew and the Negro every time they knock at the doors of the West Point Military Academy and the Annapolis Naval Academy, as the public opinion of the country will have so far put the seal of its condemnation on the race-prejudice nonslory of the student bodies of these institutions as to make it impossible. The Jews are beginning to display so much ability, wealth and aggressiveness in all avenues of American life as to command the respect of those who make a hobby of race purity, without having subjected their own blood to the anthropological analysis which tells no falsehood. But it is very interesting to find an Israel which is Jacob living in Alabama, and students of the national school propaganda against him who claim Abraham for father in the spirit as he does in the blood, even as they do in the spirit. Religion has made some queer race bedfellows, in the United States. --- San Domingo has more trouble. Gen. Ramon Caceres, President of the republic, was murdered while leaving the residence of a relative on November 20. He was a very large man physically, and good natured as a boy. He had been President since 1908, and dictator since 1900, of the turbulent little neighbor of Hayti, and, it is said, the country prospered under his dictatorship. But he was a marked man. He killed President Heureaux in cold blood because Gen. Heureaux had killed his father in cold blood, and he in his turn was killed in cold blood by friends of President Heureaux. So the blood feud becomes a running issue, in which, among those concerned in it, no man can tell the hour when he will be overtaken by the avenger. It must be a fearful condition in which to live and die. The finances of the country have been under the United States Customs Receivership about six years and that fact may be responsible for the peace which the country has enjoyed during that period. If a new President should succeed Gen. Caceres without a revolution it would be a very unusual but gratifying event. THE LATE JUSTICE HARLAN. Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue, has received the following letter dated at Chicago, November 21, 1911, written by the son of the late Justice Harlan of the United States Supreme Court: "Dear Mr. Anderson—Too long a time has passed without my acknowledging your beautiful letter of October 18, which reached me at Washington, and made a very real contribution to the comforting power of the friendly sympathy which poured in upon us in generous volume from every quarter. You will, I know, readily forgive my tardiness, and you that after death I remain in Washington as long as I could, devoting my attention entirely to my mother and attending only to matters that would not brook delay, and that since my return here I have been almost constantly engaged in court from early until late. "I remember with much pleasure my brief meeting with you here, and have thought and spoken of you often since the occasion when your eloquence quite captivated me. Your own message of sympathy and those from a few other men of your race were among those which meant most to us in the hour of our great loss and sadness, because they had in them a note of affection quite peculiar to themselves, and which bore definite and welcome testimony to my father to his fellowmen. When he came to jiggle with me in regard to their rights of property or to their rights as men, my father, I think, was color blind. On behalf of my mother, my sisters and my brothers, no less than for myself, I thank you for your appreciative tribute to my father and my sympathy for us. Sincerely yours, "IOJH MAYNARD HARLAN." Express Confidence in Dr. Washington To the Editor of The Ace Just a line to let you know that Chicago's colored population stands put in their continued confidence in Dr. Booker T. Washington and that the discharge of his murderous assailant has not only set the Negroes of this city but of the entire country to think twice about his color by color and not facts, when perjury becomes a sanctioned method of testimony, if against a Negro, it is about time to do some thinking. How any rational judge, in the face of such overwhelming testimony by the nation's greatest educator, as against that of a common fugitive from justice, added to the fact that he is said, can justify or offer an apology for such a verdict can only be explained by blind justice. The unanimous disapproval of the Editorial Board of the New York strong editorials in our leading papers, BENEFICIALS OF THE MEMBERSHIP In sections set forth in the memorial, we want to remind his policies on his work, and even those who are unfriendly to him must admit he has accomplished more of the uplift of our race and the uplift of the white race as well, than any man or set of men in this generation. His downward fall on our downward fall, our unit by which we great measure we are all judged. We are not strong enough to stand on our feet alone. We have but very few great men who can command the attention of the world. No race can ever hope to rise above the incidences. We are prone to add to the tendency to withhold honor and praise that is justly due. What we need is more confidence in ourselves and in the race. I have read the comments from many white papers in all sections of the country and at most without a Deputy Dr. Washington. His work and his worth is unimpaired by this seeming travesty on justice. That he has the good will and hearty co-operation of the citizens of Chicago goes without saying. Would that we had many more Booker T. Washing- Sincerely. BURY, ALFRED ANDERSON. Chicago, Ill. NEGRO PRE88 CALLED. Special Meeting of the National Negro Council to Convene in Nashville. NASHVILLE, Tenn. Nov. 28.—From information gained from the recording secretary of the National Negro Press Association, whose knowledge comes from the corresponding secretary, W. E. King, editor of the Dallas Express, Dallas, Tex., that Nashville will see the greatest gathering of representatives of the Negro journalism, Henry A. Boyd, recording secretary, states that M. M. Lewey, veteran newspaper man, editor of the Florida Sentinel of Pensacola, Fla., and president of the National Negro Press Association, having been reelected at the recent session in Little Rock, has called a meeting of the officers and executive committee to be held in Nashville, Tenn., during the holiday season. Elsewhere, he has been asked to teach Mr. Lewey to ascertain the exact date of this proposed meeting. The fact that the information comes from Mr. King removes all doubt about the meeting, as it is a known fact that W. E. King of Dallas, H. A. Boyd of Nashville, Fred R. Moore of New York and M. M. Lewey of Pensacola, Fla. have been working since the adjournment of the Little Rock meeting to have the officers and the entire executive board, of which Fred R. Moore, editor of THE NEW York AGE, the chairman, hold a meeting in mid-winter to determine upon some concerted action on the part of the Negro newspapers of the United States, religious and secular, that will be of interest to the race. It is freely predicted around Nashville that the two big publishing houses here and the other Negro printing establishments will stand behind such a movement if a plan can be offered by which all of the Negro papers and magazines could serve the race in a more acceptable manner. Not a member of the official staff of the Negro Press Association, nor of the executive committee, censures the style or kind of matter carried in the weekly papers; but as it was argued by some of the best newspaper when the country in Little Rock, here in room for improvement. At any rate this big quartet composed of a representative from the Lone Star State, the Peninsula State, the Empire State and the Volunteer State, is succeeding in arousing much interest in the press association. It is said that one of the plans to be discussed at the Nashville meeting will be the establishment of a newspaper service that will furnish the country with bright, sparkling and interesting news matter of the happenings throughout the United States up to Wednesday morning of each week for publication Friday and Saturday. They claim that this can be done at a very small cost, and that arrangements can be made for the transmission of this matter, putting it into the hands of the newspapers in the second plan to be considered will be the daily newspaper project which has been brewing continually, and which, if pushed, will mean the establishment in some central portion of the United States of a daily and national newspaper, operated by Negroes with news service complete from every portion of the United States. DEVELOPING SENTIMENT West Virginia Colored Institute Has Done Much Good Throughout State. CHARLESTON, W. Va., Nov. 28.—The West Virginia Colored Institute is developing a sentiment in favor of education both among the white and the colored citizens of the state. This is probably the greatest and best thing the institution is doing. When it was established in law regarding district schools required 16 students children to establish a district public school for colored youth. Since the establishment of this institution the law has been so modified as to have a similar school for 10 or a less number. The West Virginia Colored Institute opened May 3, 1892, with two teachers and 12 students. It owned at that time 37 acres of land and one building. Last year there were registered 265 students, 5 Dof whom graduated from the various courses in June. The first appropriation by the state was $10,000 for two years; the last appropriation was $61,550. The institution owns 77 acres of land, eight buildings and equipment, valued at more than $10,000. Its literary curriculum embraces three courses—English, academic and normal. The English course is especially adapted for those who have decided to follow the trades. The academic course is designed for those preparing for a degree or a profession, for college or college gives, professional training and is designed for those preparing to teach. Aside from the literary work mentioned, commercial training is given as a special course. Students pursuing the commercial studies do not take any other course. Some of the graduates from this department of the institution find employment as clerks, amanuenses and as teachers of stenography. In the industrial course girls are taught plain sewing, dressmaking, cooking and millinery. Boys are taught agriculture, carpentry, printing, blacksmithing, wheelwrighting, masonry and painting. The girls taking the trades have their own and earn their own dreammaking. They have them many most successful as campuses. Several of the boys in carpentry have become contractors. The great man of colored people in West Virginia live in the towns and in the coolest environment in favor of architecture has been until last year there were 10 pursuing this course in this institution, five of whose graduated. Only a small percentage of those pursuing the trades follow them for the reason that there is such an imperative demand on this institution for literary teachers, both in the state and without. Notwithstanding the large number of academic and normal graduates we sent out last year, there are still vacancies for teachers in the schools of West Virginia to-day. The degree is teaching smithing in South Carolina and another in Alabama. One is teaching agriculture in Tennessee, another in Alabama, another in Virginia. One is teaching millinery in Wilberforce University. It is the purpose of the present administration to make a special effort to develop agriculture in the school and to enlist a greater number of young people in this state in this course of study. It is the line of least resistance for the Inner Mongolia Negro farmers Virginia for 50,000 Negro farmers where they would be absolutely free to develop into the highest type of American citizen. New Orleans Ministers Pass Resolutions. The United Ministerial Alliance of the City of New Orleans, by a resolution offered by the Rev. S. J. Channel, denounced the action of the New York court in releasing Ulrich, the culpits who so maliciously assaulted Dr. Booker T. Washington in the City of New Orleans. The alliance is interdenominational and is composed of ministers from all of the colored churches of New Orleans, and has an enrolment of more than one hundred ministers. They expressed the greatest confidence in Dr. Washington, declaring that Ulrich should have been fully punished for his wanton attack on the young men of the Young Men's Christian Association Hall, the Rev. John Marks presiding. F+RM LAND IN THE SOUTH How to Make the Coming of Foreign- Jobs as Good as Well as to the General Public. The efforts of the South in bringing in foreigners for the purpose of giving them public and domestic work as well as to sell them the land on which to build industries and manufactories, and the growing sentiment in that direction by the Southern people, gives us reason to believe that in a few years we will have a great many foreigners of various nationalities in the South to do the work, buy the lands and build the industries and manufactories. If they find the Negroes in the South landless, the growth of our civilization in the future will be restricted for generations to come; but if we can persuade our moneyed people to join in the effort in buying, small farm lands, in teaching people to diversify their products, to build industries and manufactories and to manufacture their products from the clay, the farm and the forest, with which we can have access to the markets of the world, we will have an independent foundation and can build up our business and professional interest as well as other people. Then the coming of the foreigners will be a blessing as consumers, if a blessing at all. A Real Inviting Field for Investment The farming lands all over the South, and especially in Alabama, offer one of the best fields of investment in the country. Lands can be bought from $10 to $125 per acre all over the State. These lands are increasing in valuation monthly. Lands that were sold from twelve to six months ago from $7 to $10 per acre in many cases are now selling all the way from $20 to $40 and $50 per acre. In the most cases these lands are offered only in large quantities, from 500 to 10,000 acres, which, as individuals, the colored people are not able to reach. The urging need of the Negro race is that the moneyed men among them will invest their money in this channel where they cannot only make some of the largest returns on their money, but at the same time help to establish an independent civilization for the Negro people. The moneyed Negro can safely follow the Northern capitalists in this direction, who have spent hundreds of millions in the lands of the South. Very recently in our state there has been large quantities of farm lands bought by Northern capitalists. In one case 31,000 acres at $20 per acre, and seems that these quantities make money and to help the rich should appeal to every man whom God has blessed with means. The Alabama Penny Savings Bank is offering itself as a channel through which these men of means may operate in this profitable and landable enterprise. The bank is under a pledge to invest a large amount of its incoming capital stock in buying these lands and cutting them up in small farms and selling them to our people, and therefore we make an urgent appeal to our moneyed people throughout the country to reach these profitable investments. Buying our stock, on which they will reap a splendid dividend. For further information address the president, W. R. Petitford, Alabama Penny Sayings Bank, 217 North 151st street, birmingham, Ala. . Mrs Jenifer 'Represents N. A. C. W. CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 27.-Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, president of the National Association of Colored Women, delegated Mrs. Eva T. Jenifer, one of the most practical clubwomen in America, to represent her and the N. A. C. W. at the National Council of Women of the United States, which met in Chicago, Ill., at the Auditorium Hotel last week. November 14 and 15. --- NEW THEATRE FOR HARLEM PLANS for the erection of a large and modern structure, to contain a theatre and lodge rooms, and costing $165,000, were completed this week at a meeting of the Johnson Amusement Company, a corporation composed of well-known colored men, which will file articles of incorporation at Albany within a few days. The officers of the corporation are: Thomas Johnson, president; Harry Kraton, vice-president; Fred R. Moore, treasurer, and Lester A. Walton, secretary, who are also members of the Board of Directors, together with G. L. Young, B. D. Wilkins and Maurice Rumble. The promoters, in selecting a site for the structure have adopted the policy followed in recent years by the leading local theatrical managers-building theatres on side streets. Harlem's newest and most up-to-date playhouse will be located on 138th street, between Fifth and Lenox avenues, and will be in the heart of the colored residential district and easy of access. Four lots have been secured, having a frontage of 100 feet and 100 feet deep. The Runkle Construction Company has signed a contract and given a guarantee bond to complete the structure by September, and President Johnson has already put into the construction company's hands $25,000 as an act of good faith to insure the contractors that the amusement company means business. President Johnson, who was formerly connected with the Crescent Theatre, and who has held a responsible position with the theatrical firm of Klaw & Erlanger for many years, has issued the following statement: "The colored citizens of New York City are greatly in need of two things—a theatre in Harlem large enough to accommodate a thousand or more persons at one time, and a building containing lodge rooms where our colored fraternal organizations can be accommodated without being compelled to pay an excessive rental, as is the case to-day. Realizing conditions, and with a view to betterting them, as well as making it a profitable commercial enterprise, the Johnson Amusement Company has been organized. "Such a project is not regarded as a speculation or experiment, as everyone familiar with the situation in New York City will admit that there is a crying demand for a large colored theatre in the colored residential district in Harlem and a suitable place where the Maons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Elks and other fraternal organizations can meet and get the proper accommodations at a reasonable figure. "The Johnson Amusement Company, which is composed of colored men in the various walks of life in New York City, and who have the confidence of the people, intends to give the colored theatregoers a theatre which will seat from 1,200 to 1,400 persons at one time, and it will be one of the finest little playhouses in Greater New York. The theatre will consist of a first floor and balcony, with 32 boxes and 10 loges. Ten, 20 and 30 cent vaudeville will be presented, and as there is not a house in the city, where colored shows can be booked at certain times during the season, the house will play such productions as the Smart Set Company and the Black Patti Company. "Regarding lodge rooms, they will be 80 feet wide by 90 feet deep, and the fraternal organizations will not only be able to hold meetings, but will find the rooms large enough to give banquets and entertainments and will have every facility for such affairs. "The recent failures of colored concerns, I must admit, have caused many colored citirens who have money to invest to become somewhat distrustful of any proposition presented to the public wherein they are given an opportunity to become stockholders, and one cannot blame them. The first colored enterprise that gives the stockholders even two or three per cent. on their money will have no difficulty in getting thousands of dollars afterwards. The Johnson Amusement Company, despite the lack of confidence held at this time by colored investors, is putting $50,000 worth of stock on the market, at $10 a share, guaranteeing six per cent, the first year on the investment and substantial increase thereafter. "It is not the aim of the corporation to in any manner hoodwink the public, and the calibre of men connected with the enterprise should instill confidence, as all have a reputation for honesty and fair business dealings. For those who want further proof before buying stock they are at liberty to call at the offices of the Rumble Construction Company in the Singer building, 149 Broadway, and make further inquiries into the reliabil- THE FROGS (INCORPORATED) Beg to announce the following scale of prices for their big ENTERTAINMENT and DANCE to be given on the evening JANUARY 29th, 1912, at the NEW STAR CASINO, 107th street, between Lexington and Madison avenues.

Jawwarded Mrs. Minerva Miller against the Paterson Show House, 136 Market street, Paterson, N. J., by Judge W. Carrington Cabin in the Court Square, Paterson. Miller suings the defendant for damages for discriminating on account of color contrary to the statutes of New Jersey. The decision of Judge Cabell, who is a Southerner by birth, has attracted more than ordinary attention through her court. The court was to the effect that public places of amusement cannot discriminate against citizens on account of race or color. Mrs. Miller, who is the daughter of the Rev. Harvey Anderson, a minister of the A. M. E. Zion Church, testified that the president of the company with Miss Anderson and Mrs. woman, she went to the Paterson Show House, and upon handing the cashier fifteen cents was told that the price for colored folks was twenty-five cents a piece. The business stated that when a president was presented the price is the order of the boss to charge all colored people twenty-five cents." One of the ridiculous incidents of the trial was when the attorney for the trial was when the attorney for Mrs. Miller tried to prove that Mrs. Miller was in color in blood in her veins. Mrs. Miller was then put on the stand and asked if she was colored, in which she answered that in the affirmative, declaring that she was in general appearance should settle such a question without asking questions. Lena Moore, the cashier, who refused Mrs. Miller admission, denied that she ever had an account about charging her twenty-five cents on account of her color, and Manager Adams and several witnesses for the defense showed marked ignorance the she had of drawing the color line was mentioned. After both sides had submitted all their testimony Attorney Robert F. Buckley addressed the court in behalf of theiller, and in a stirring speech stated that discrimination founded on race or color was unjust and could have no sanction in the law of New Jersey; that if the rights and privileges of the colored people were to be restricted by the whims and desire of those who engage in public business as the defendant in public patronage then the rights of the colored citizen and the great freedom to him of which the people boast will soon be relegated to division and the shameless of slavery will remain as a race of human beings; that the Negro race are citizens and both the vice and the public interests contour in a policy which shall elevate them from individuals and relieve them from oppression, including discrimination, and which shall self-respecting, contented and loyal citizens, and give them a fair chance in the struggle of life. Judge Cabell's decision in part was: The fact of the case is shown by a fair prescriptive one. Minerva Miller, on the night of September 1, went to the place of the Paterosus, went to the place of the defendant, and applied for admission there, five cents, the usual price for admission, five cents, being made by the sticker, the plaintiff claims there thereof that twenty-five cents is charged to the defendant, the plaintiff claims there was a discriminatory law, for dismissing the proceedings on non-suit, for dismissing the proceedings common law right, but we are not deciding the common law, but with a statute framed to an evil grown up under the common law. Hold the door open and enter the room. There is a colored person on the ground floor by his a white robe. A brown person is standing on the floor by the door entrance. In Pergamon vs. Glue (Melbourne Supreme Court), the judge ruled that such a civil rights statute excluding a colored person from equal access to the restaurant became a violation. In Joseph va. Bidwell (28 La Ann. 382) and in Donnell va. State (28 Mildmind 385) he was a judge in the theatre, is liable in damages for refusal to admit a colored person; in Paynes va. Curry for Lincolnia 28) he presupposes a colored person for the several grades of saints in a theatre. But there seems no reason why the civil rights status enacted in New Jersey should not be given its full force. The Legislature alone can determine whether a person is permitted to control of the owner of a show; the Legislature has limited that control; it has tenured the owner of a show; it has penalised a violation, and it is for this court to enforce the law, not to permit its breach through quibbles to go unpunished. The law is penalised by the guilty of that violation must be punished. This defendant was the owner of the show where the unlawful discrimination was committed. It does not that he knew of the violation and directed it. The law should hold him responsible for that. It does. Judgment he entered for the plaintiff for the sum of five hundred dollars.

It looks very businesslike in and about the Howard Theatre, Washington, D. C., this week, and the reason is that Aida Overton Walker and Company are playing a week's engagement at this pretty little colored playhouse. The theatre has been crowded as each performer makes a mark, and it is beyond a doubt a financial and an artistic success. Manager Thomas is elated, as he has, not done such a big business since he took charge of the Howard. --- The Minnehaha Theatre. Washington, D. C., formerly owned and managed by Andrew J. Thomas, now of the Howard Theatre, has been taken over by the Auditor W. Tylier. In the future the house will be run strictly as a first-class moving picture theatre. The Minnehaha Theatre is one of the finest moving picture theatres in the country controlled by and for colored audiences. It is one of the midst of a progressive population of more than 20,000. Young Tylier is not yet twenty-one years old and is one of the youngest managers and proprietors in the country. He and his staff are in the midst and a large attendance has marked the first week of the house under his management. SMART SET COMPANY The Smart Set Company in "Dr. Beans from Boston" has just finished a successful week of one nighters and of all the one-night stands ever played by the company these were the most enjoyable. Mr. Dudley was heard to say that he was perfectly delighted during his stay in Franklin, Pa., as he had been royally entertained by James W. Derry, a retired business Negro of Franklin, and was their guest at their hotel. Mr. Derry and Albert T. Coates certainly showed the star much social attention, and he expects to return to Franklin again soon. There are so many new faces with the company this season that it is very hard for Mr. Dudley to remember them by name, so he has decided to call them by numbers. He named Geo. Smith, the trap drummer, No. 8. I can't see why he numbered Smith S. Smith, since we play the "Black Ball," so much. Lizzie Carpenter, of Boston, joined the company last week, succeeding Carrie Sutton, of Philadelphia, Miss Carpenter furnished a big surprise for her husband, making good without a rehearsal. Elizabeth Carrington, of Boston, is expecting; her husband, Wm. Carrington, to join her for a few days.

There's a new comedian in town by the name of Moore. What his first name is I do not know, but Moore has a chance to be some comedian if he works hard enough. He appeared at the Crescent Theatre last week in the act of Moore and Jenkins, and he would have had to help the natives his work showed the great possibilities in him. Both as a singer and dancer he scored. There have been other youngsters who have had equally as promising a career as Moore, but they either let or tried their best to corner the heavier marriages which resulted disastrously. Let the youngsters have their history of byres days. With a capable and experienced straight man Moore to take a more concise. Katherine Trio were two other acts that made good at the Crescent Theatre last week. Miller's Entertaining Four—four singers with good voices that harmon- ing and lively pieces in vaudeville. They were at the Crescent the first half of this week. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Jersey City Team Wina.

The annual football game between the Manhattan A. C., of New Brunswick, and the Witerspoon A. C., of Princeton, was played on Pierson's number 24. It was a hard-fought battle for the features of the game being the great goal-kicking of Taylor, which won the game for Princeton by 5 to 0. Lincoln's Freshmen Swamp Downing- town. A new era in Lincoln University's athletic relations was opened last Saturday when the royal sons of odd-year paternity journeyed over to Downingtown and defeated the latter by an overhemless 12-10 victory. The freshmen were given a great ovation by the jubilant "fathers," and they deservedly received the commendation of the student body with the exception of the "Sophs," who know this victory over Downingtown means the commencement to the "Freshers" as to the coming struggle with them which comes upon the heels of Thanksgiving Day. Hampton Surprises Lincoln. Very surprising to the supporters of both teams was the triumph of Hampton over Lincoln on the latter's camps. The Southerners arrived on Lincoln's back before little expecting the happy run which the following day revealed. Just the reverse was the condition in Lincoln's camp. The assuring presence of the alumn reinforced by memories of the orange and blue superlatively dominates. The contest was uneventful until the latter part of the second period, when Bender stood on his own 45-yard line and made the most terrible point of the game. The ball, waited onward by a pressure, was twisted and twisted in the heavens, until Bird on Lincoln's five-yard line. For the first time in his career in big game, Bird fumbled the ball, which was speedily covered by a Hampton man sprang at the Southerners' Hampton men eyes, and on the first play, which an attempted end run, Goss threw Granger for a loss of three yards; but the capricious quarter, Bender, needed his strategy, called signals for a forbidden touch which caught the Lincoln backs napping and thereby resulted in a touchdown. In the third period the orange and blue came back, plunging Hampton's line, and making long gains around the ends, until after a successful forwards from Pollard to Collins, the ball was placed in the 20-yard line. Here Lincoln was held for and the ball went over to Hampton. Bender immediately kicked to Pollard on Hampton's 45-yard line and the latter advanced 5 yards. The fumbling of a forward pass from Pollard to Bullock gave Hampton the ball, who passed in Collins in the center of the field; he added a short pass, then made a long punt, which bounded behind Hampton's goal line, where Townsend threw Bender for a safety. After a series of reciprocal punts the period ended with a score of 5-2 in Hampton's favor. Neither team scored in the fourth period. J.
