ACCIDENT AT FUNERAL Special to THE NEW YORK AQE. VICKSBURG, Miss. Dec. 5.—Forty-five Negroes, 35 of them women, were injured, 10 so badly that they may die, when the floor of King David Church collapsed while a funeral service was in progress. The Rev. Mr. Williams, who was conducting the service, jumped out of a window and escaped injury. The 600 persons in the building were unable to escape on account of the crowded condition of the church and went down with the floor, falling 20 feet to the ground. Heavy timbers, two hot stoves and the pine flooring fell upon a struggling mass of humanity, and this, in addition to the weight of the persons on the weight under which inflicted serious injuries on the first ones that fell when the center of the floor gave way. The funeral of Ed West was being held and the coffin containing the body fell among the family of the deceased and friends who had gathered about it.

Dix Monday honored the requisition of the New Jersey authorities and Henry A. Ulrich must go to Orange, N. J., to face his charge of desertion. Ulrich was not present at the hearing before the Governor to-day, but Mrs. Ulrich NEGRO INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION REVIEWED U. S. Commissioner of Labor Discusses Subject in His Annual Report DIFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED Special to The New York Ann. Washington, D. C., Dec. 4.—The United States Commissioner of Labor, in his annual report on Industrial Education, just issued, devotes considerable space to the Negro industrial schools throughout the country. Speaking of industrial education among Negroes generally, he says: "Industrial schools for Negroes are almost invariably philanthropic enterprises, and their work is usually hampered by insufficient funds. They have also had to face special difficulties owing to the fact that apprenticeships are practically never open to colored workers and hence their students must receive all their preliminary training before leaving school. "The difficulty Negroes find in entering a skilled trade, unless it is one to which they can work independently or as separate groups, limits the scope of their work, and owing to the deicient education of a portion of their students much of their instruction must be elementary. As a further difficulty they have had to counteract the prejudices of their own race who have been inclined to look upon clerical, commercial and professional callings as the only ones which could be considered by the ambitions. "In spite of all these difficulties the Negro schools have done good work. Several have won for themselves a national reputation, and are playing an important part in the adjustment of the race to the new conditions in which emancipation has placed them." The report also devotes several pages to both Tuskegee and Hampton schools, and a number of other Negro industrial schools throughout the country, including Snow Hill Normal and Industrial School at Snow Hill, Ala, Berean Manual Training and Industrial School at Philadelphia, Watchman Industrial School at Providence, R. I., Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College at Alcorn, Hies, State Agricultural and Merchants College, Ala, Claflin University at Orangeburg, S. C., and other similar institutions. Four pages of the report is devoted to Armstrong Manual Training School of this city, of which Dr. W. B. Evans is principal. In speaking of this school the Commissioner of Labor says: "It is said that graduates from the trade courses of this school are able to hold their own in their respective trades as finished workmen." "LILY WHITES" BREAK FAITH Pearl Wight and Fellowing of Leuciana Charged with Violating Agreements Old-Line Republi- can The Activities of the "Lily, White" Reviewed. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 5.—The purpose of this article is to show how flagrantly and willfully the "Lily Whites" and Pearl Wight, National Committeeman from Louisiana, after a satisfactory understanding had been reached, violated the trust and confidence that had been reposed in them and then wrote themselves down as tricksters, to be trusted no more than a ward healer, and above the gentleman's honor, and wealth, an effectiveness in presenting an entertaining soothing to they have party, but ingenious standing coupled to paraded accles in them national. After conversion to get the agreement into force, good end of the wranks, tested on Conviction which the Hitchock of the for a reunion for four years be oblated and White, had the Hitchock suing the masquerade and satirical mitte, of can commit committees to White institutions Trying The prime minister of the State Committee with the Secretary of State. The "Lily Whites" likewise filed their notifications with the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State accepted both and published same as the Republican contestants in the primary. After this publication the "Lily Whites" reopened their committee on October 31 and declared all of their candidates for member of the State Committee, elected thereby hoping to avoid a primary. They notified the Secretary of State of this action and requested the latter to place all their members on the record as the regular members of the State Central Committee of the Republican party. The Secretary refused to do so. The action of the Secretary of State was approved by the Attorney General of the State. Determined to fight Republicans and keep them out of the party primary, opposing them harder than they would Democrats, the "Lily Whites" instituted mandamus proceedings to compel the Secretary of State to place their nominees as the accredited and duly elected members of the State Central Committee on the record of his office. The case has been argued in court and a decision is daily expected. Mr. Wight after his recent return from his summer sojourn, in answer to a letter written him, advised that all Republican candidates enter the primary called by the "Lily White" Committee. As Mr. Wight is the dominant factor in the "Lily Whites," and being a more ardent one than F. B. Williams, executed another flank movement by agreeing to these court proceedings to keep out Republicans from the very primary in which he formerly stated "all Republicans should participate." Wright Onose an Ardent Old-Line Republican The fact is that at one time Mr Wight was an ardent old-line Republican and stood for its tenets and bed-rock principles. It then netted him profit and he was not ashamed to be found allied with the "Nigger party." To-day he is vastly a different man financially and otherwise; hence the secret of his wonderful change. The crux of the whole contention of the "Lily Whites" is fear of defeat at the polls, fear of white and colored Republicans of the old-line persuasion winning out and gaining control of the organization. Let it be known that the "Lily White" organization in Louisiana is disintegrating. Ninety per cent. of their one-time adherents, tiring of the manner in which they managed party affairs, have returned to the Democratic fold from which they wandered. The fight on "Lily Whitesism," as you say, is on good and strong. The old-line Republicans are determined to contest every inch of the ground, and purpose to carry the fight if need be to the convention floor, and there let it be determined whether a party representative of true Republicanism shall exist in Louisiana—in fact, in every State of the Union. The country should know and be convinced by this time that the "Lily Whites" consist of a few disgruntled, renegade Democrats, who left their party of first love, stole the Republican livery and set up a political oligarchy, the base to Republicans, for no other purpose than the enjoyment of Federal patronage. They don't and can't elect a Republican, it be only a consulate. So much for the "Lily Whites" and their ability to do this. without a place for religious worship. At present the religious bodies visit the jail and the prisoners are spoken to from the sides of their cells, which necessitates the holding of a service on each tier. This was one of the most important findings of the Grand Jury, and the proper authorities are already giving the matter serious consideration. Mr. Cooley, who has always taken an active part in the public affairs of southern Staten Island, has the distinction of being the first colored man to serve on a Grand Jury in Richmond County. He is a graduate and has served in Tottencille all his life receiving his education in the schools of his native home. His father, the late William Cooley, lived in Tottencille many years and was highly respected. Mr. Cooley was treated cordially by his fellow members and was complimented by Foreman Charles Humphrey for his able assistance in the cases that came before the Grand Jury. FIGHT FOR EQUAL ACCOMMODATIONS Public Service Commission Hears Case Cheesapeake and Atlantic Railway. Special to THE NEW YORK AOK BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 9.—A hearing of the complaint of Attorney W. Ashbie Hawkins against the discriminations the Negro has to suffer on boats plying the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, was held before the Public Service Commission Monday. Mr. Hawkins testified that the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Railway, against whose boats the protest was made, only provided two staterooms out of thirty or more for the use of first-class, colored passengers, and that these two were badly ventilated, and that occupants thereof suffered much inconvenience because of the fact that they were located on either side of the card room and toilet for white men, where all kinds of noses prevailed during the night. He also said that the boat company made the colored passengers wait until after the white passengers had been served with meals, and that the boat company offered these meals for ten cents less because of the long wait. His testimony was corroborated by George A. Watty, Grand Chancellor of the Maryland Knights of Pythias and a frequent user of the various lines of the company, and Mrs. D. Grant Scott of this city. The Commission-held its decision in abeyance until after it had made a personal inspection of the company's methods of handling its colored passengers. At the time of his arrest Attorney Rachi Robinson, who represented the boat company, contended the Public Service Commission had no jurisdiction, and that the matter should come before the Criminal Court under the separate car law. who have increased confidence in their desirabs of buying stock in the concern that it was not the aim of the promoters THOMAS JOHNSON President of The Johnson Amusement Company to use up a large part of the money in salaries, as has been the case in many colored business ventures that have ultimately failed. Many letters have been received by President Johnson from various local lodges congratulating the company on its announced intentions of providing the local fraternal organizations with commodious and up-to-date lodge rooms in Harlem, as the majority of lodges have been seriously inconvenienced for lack of proper facilities. A number of the fraternal bodies have promised to become financially interested in the project. Thomas Johnson, president of the Johnson Amusement Company, has for years been prominently identified with the fraternal organizations of New York City. For four years he was president of the Southern Beneficial League, for seven years president of Love and Charity, is the present Noble Grand of Howard Union Lodge, G. U. O. O. F., and is one of the heads of the Lincoln Literary and Musical Association.

It far exceeds the number of cases of Brooklyn and London Tabernacle even given or anybody else ever has given in the history of the world and the Christian world.

D. C., Dec. 6—Amid enthusiastic "huzzas" over the football games of the day and the professional pride growing out of the large number of their brethren with the ball" on hand to the occasion nomor, the annual dinner of the Robert J. Freeman Dental Association was held on Thanksgiving evening at the palatial Gaskin's Cafe, 320 8th street N. W. Covers were laid for fifty, and besides the entire roster of Washington dentists many out-of-town bearers of the "D.D.S." degree were present. A finer-looking, jollier or a more prosperous-appearing set of gentlemen of the race never placed their feet beneath a mahogany in the District of Columbia. Howard University graduates were there in large numbers, and Lincoln, Shaw, Meharry and other institutions enjoying dental departments were well represented. The Howardites gave their former "proxy," Dr. O. Summer Wormley, an ovation that made the welkin ring. The menu was up to the well-known Gaskins standard, which means the best that the market affords, and to say that the guests did ample justice to the good things provided puts the case but mildly Dr. C. Fry; the newly elected president, opened the festivities, and Dr. W. E. Hamilton acquitted himself with distinction as toastmaster. A graphic history of the "Robert T. Freeman Dental Association," fittingly named in honor of the first colored dentist to practice in the District of Columbia, was presented by Dr. J. E. Washington, Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, dean of the dental department of Howard University, gave a luminous description of the rapid strides that are being made at that institution in modern dental equipment, and in the quality and quantity of graduates turned out year by year, who are making fame and fortune all over the land. Through them and the men from the other splendid institutions Dr. Wormley saw the foundation of a National Dental Association. Among the visiting dentists were Drs. Slowe, of Philadelphia; Smith, Winston-Salem, N. C.; Lewis, Hartisburg, Pa.; Lassiter and Johnson. Newport News, Va.; Jones and Baker; Baltimore, Md. Arnold, Wilmington, Del.; Lawrence, Chester, Pa.; Jackson, Providence, R. I. Jefferson, Norfolk, Va.; Sutherland, Orange, N. J.; Ferguson, Richmond, Va., and others. In the Washington contingent were Drs. C. S. and R. C Wormley, Fry, Tancil, Boyd; Washington, Fraser, Russell, Hampton, Gaskin, Edwards, Freeman, Francis, Gwathney, Gray and Butcher, and R. W. Thompson, representing the national press. Prior to the dinner, at a harmonious and profitable business session the "Robert T. Freeman Dental Association" elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, C. C. Fry; VicePresident, A. E. Gaskin; Recording Secretary, George H. Butcher; Corresponding Secretary, S. A. Fraser; Treasurer, A. J. Gwathney; Libarian, W. E. Hamilton; Historian, J. E. Washington; Executive Committee, P. Tancil, chairman, J. R. Francis, Jr., and R. C. Wormley. The centenary of Wendell Phillips was celebrated at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Wednesday evening, November 29. On the platform were seated Prof. Kelly Miller, Mr. Justice Stafford, the oator of the evening, Res. R. Ross the Rec. F. J. Grimke and President Thirkield, of Howard University. In the absence of Hon. Archibald Grimke, president of the Negro Academy, who had gone to Boston to celebrate the same event, Prof. Kelly Miller presided. PITTIBURGH, PA Regular Correction of THE ACK. Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 5.—Dr. G. B. Howard of Petersburg, Va., spent Sunday in this city and spoke at all the services at Central Baptist Church, including the Sabbath School and the B. Y. P. U. services. A few years ago Dr. Howard was pastor of Ebenzer Baptist Church in this city and is well known here as being one of the most scholarly pulpit orators of this section. The esteem in which Dr. Howard is held for his Christian piety and great worth to the Baptist manifestation as well as the audience that inflected by every service. At the 1045 a.m. m. service Dr. Howard spoke from St. Mark, xi. 21: "And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto Him, Master, behold the fig tree. Which thou cursed is withered away." The speech spoke from the subject, "Have faith in After reviewing a portion of Bible history in which he showed how men of old worked for the establishment of the Christian religion over the world because of their faith in God, the speaker gave a beautiful tribute to me, Mr. Gauld, a Christian Sunni priest, Joseph, Henry Ward Beechert, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and many other abolitionists, who, because of their faith in God, worked so earnestly for the freedom of our ancestors. The B. Y. P. U. of Central is a very important branch of the church and is doing much good. The topic for discussion last Sabbath was the abuse and misuse. The correspondent for the new York Age opened the discussion, after which C. T. Haghes of John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church read a very interesting and instructive paper in which he showed the many advantages of unity and cooperation. Dr. Howard congratulated the Union for its size and interest and said the future hope of the young people, Mrs. J. L. Richmond, feelingly rendered a solo. "Face to face." The Ivac Temporary Home and Day Nursery gave a bazaar last week at old Calvary Baptist Church, which was well attended. This organization of women is doing a great work. The following are its officers: Mrs. R. J. Messer, president; Mrs. S. Street, revered minister; Mrs. R. Crompton, financial secretary. The Metropolitan Baptist Church that was badly damaged by fire several weeks ago is in hearing completion. The congregation is arranging to move in their beautiful edifice the fourth Sabbath in December. John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church with its $5,000 lawsuit in the U.S. Circuit Court against the Washington Build- ing Company. The church had paid the association $25 more than it owed, but suit was entered to collect the same amount twice. George H. Newman, president of the floods by T. R. V. and many of the other Okeanos in its deepest part, including in some areas against their former pastor. The dike was carried into the courts and the pulpit was decralled vacant. One of the cleanest and best loved ministers in the denomination has been called to fill the vacancy, and if he accepts it it is safe to say Central will continue its well begun work. The good work of removing unfit pastors is spreading all over the city. It is safe to say the days of the immoral and drinking pastors here are numbered.

FRANCE IN AFRICA There are ten millions of people in the United States who are, sentimentally, at least, interested in the present and future of the continent of Africa and its unnumbered hordes of people. They are so interested because, in one way or another, they are descended from that continent and from that people. The true vine, however far it may trail over the wall, must hark back to its true root, and will do so if it be not grafted upon some other root and finally become lost as to its origin. As long as it retains any of the kindship, any of its true root, the true vine will find its way back, and will know its kindred vines as it goes. It is that way with the blood of the races. In his address on "The Nationalization of Africa," at "The Congress on Africa," in 1895, at Atlanta, our Mr. Fortune said, among other things: "If the conquest of Africa shall proceed in the next twenty-five years as it has in the past twenty-five, the whole Continent will be as completely under European control, after the lapse of a century, physically and morally, as it is possible for conquerors to impose their conditions upon the conquered. The rast population of Africa will be brought under Christian influences, in new forms of government, and habits of thought, of conduct, of whole of humanity, will be sanctioned. Whole bodies and suppititions and tribal relations and similarity of vernaculars will, in the course of time, be transformed entirely. The generalizing heterogeneousism which now governs over the whole Continent will give due to a pervading homogeneity in language, in religion, and in government." This forecast was made sixteen years ago. The time has traveled faster than on the continent of Africa. All of it west territory has been divided among the European powers, with the exception of Liberia on the West Coast, for control of which Germany, France and Great Britain, whose territories hem it in, are scheming. Railroads and telegraphs place the continent in all directions, and the deserts are being retained from waste and made to bloom "as gardens of the Lord." While Prince own 45 per cent. of Africa, the remaining 55 per cent. is divided between Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Belgium, the Portuguese holdings being englified. Native rights, personal and material, are but little regarded by any of the Powers, except France, the general policy being to keep the natives down, without any participation in the government, and to get all out of them that it is possible to get. As between the tyranny and rapacity of Great Britain, Germany and Italy, there is little to chase, the tyranny and rapacity of Belgium in the Congo having been such as to shock Christian Europe and America and to compel reforms that have in some measure mitigated the horrors practiced upon the natives. The pacific policy of France in Africa, and the tremendous development it has made and is making of the resources of its African empire, are graphically set forth in The Outlook (October 28), by Alexander Powell, F. R. G. S. The story is most fascinating, in which is sold how France came to control 45 per cent. of the territory and 24 per cent. of the population of Africa. France as conquered the people by kindness; by giving them a part of her civil and military service; by just administration of the laws, and by building churches, schools, railroads and telegraphs. The people feel that they are part of French development, and they are. The threat of France to enlist a million natives in her army is not an idle one, as the natives are with France, there being now 75,000 of them enlisted, and "nothing pleases the African as an occupation more than soldiering." says Mr. Powell. A black French army could be advanced to the banks of the Rhine in ten days. France is doing great things in Africa. The Children's Aid Society, which does so much good, reports that poverty is on the increase in New York. Poor and insufficient food and bad housing are having a bad influence on the health of children. Many of the older boys, who live on the verge of vagrancy, are disposed to become "gangsters," 1,000 of whom were arraigned before magistrates on charges of rowdyism during three months the past summer. During the past year 8,125 homeless boys sought shelter in the society's working boys' homes. Such societies as the Children's you have to protect yourself from attempted harm they may take. So in which we shall have the disposition, which will always find the means, to do a better part by the young who need protection and guidance. IS GOVERNOR BLEASE A HYPO- CRITE? It is of the utmost importance to both races in the Southern States that harmonious relations should subsist between them; this much is acknowledged by what are commonly called "the best white people and the best colored people." Both sorts ring the changes on the slogan in any time of trouble; but, when reduced to an absurdity, it usually means that Negroes must not resort to extreme measures when the whites rise up against the law and madly wreak vengeance upon guilty and innocent Negroes alike. No Negro or white man is ever legally guilty of any crime until he is tried and convicted of being so by a jury of his peers. Mob wrath makes the fixing of such guilt impossible, and Southern law makes no provision for fixing the guilt of mob wrathers. By protecting white mob wrathers they invite the vengeance of such upon white criminals that they so readily measure out to black criminals. A civil procedure established for one, by statute enactment or public opinion, will ultimately apply to all. So the measure of lawlessness white wrathers measure out to black men they will in the end measure out to white men. The white slaves of Athens and Rome devoured, in the end, the white masters. We are not surprised, but we are gratified, at the attention which the white press of the South has given to the interview of Rev. Richard Carroll of the Columbia Southern Plowman, published in THE AGE of November 16, in which Gov. Cole Blease of South Carolina was gibbeted as a hypocrite on the race question, who is not above taking sides against Negro men in the day time and making free with Negro women in the night time; a very interesting statement of the case as to the first clause and startling as to the second. We have no doubt that Gov. Blease, like Senator Tillman, is not only a hypocrite but a demagogue, who likes the Negro as most Southern white men do, but are not above the smallness of using him as a stepping stone to political preferment. It may also, be true, as Mr. Carroll says, that the better class of whites think well of the Negro and are opposed to Gov. Blease's methods; but it is also true that the better class of whites do not rule South Carolina; if they did, Mr. Blease would not be Governor of their tState. It is the 'hypocritical demagogues of the Cole Blease sort, with the mob wrathers behind them, who make the situation so grave. CHURCH TAXATION. Excessive taxation of the membership of all of our Methodist church bodies, and especially those of Bethel and Zion, has become such as to make it certain to be a burning question in all of the General Conferences next year. Excessive taxation has become an American disease in all directions, in private and in public life. Not what the purse can stand for, but what is desired, rules from the kitchen and boudoir to the City Council, and the Congress. The man on top has come to think that the man at the bottom can hold up all of the weight that selfishness, greed and ignorance may heap upon him. As a matter of fact, Atlas himself gives way in spots when the pressure from above becomes greater than the resisting pressure from below, and then the obliquing bottom drops out, leaving nothing but a hole in the ground, a desert of sand or a placid sheet of water to show for it. It happens that way in the church, the home, the state and the nation when those who have the taxing power want anything—they pay for it while the money lasts and then resort to borrowing, to the credit system, which eats up everything. Those who have the taxing power of our churches to deal with; that is to say, those who have the shaping of their financial policies, will do well to listen to the protests of the pews against the extravagant system now in vogue. There are churches with no more than 160 members that have to raise $5,000 to meet running expenses, pastor's salary, interest on mortgage debt and connection assessment. And most of those 160 members work at domestic service, and earn no more than $5 to $9 per week. In the large churches the same condition prevails. Some of those large churches, with 1,000 membership, have mortgage debts of $20,000, the 6 per cent, interest making an item of $1,200, which, with the other charges, make a taxation of $10,000, or $10 per member. The situation calls for fewer general officers, for consolidation of related offices, including official organs, and for direct legislation against grafting and grafters. General officers, including Bishops, whose salaries and traveling expenses are paid out of the general fund, should be subject, to impeachment when they accept church collection and conference money graft. WHAT HAS HE TO DO WITH IT? The busybodies of the world live by creating confusion for themselves and for others. Sober-sided people who want to make their own and their fellow man's condition better by doing the world's work soberly, thoughtfully, without and fuss and feathers, find, and have always found, that at least one-half their thought, effort and time must be squandered in undoing the work of the busybodies. If given or allowed a free rein, Imre on the one hand and Tellus on the other keep Pan busy showing his pipes, and himself. Take the case of Boxing Commissioner O'Neill. He was appointed by Gov. Dix to overlook and see that the boxing laws are enforced. that prize fights are conducted according to law; but he does not seem to have enough to do, for which the State pays him. He is not the only public official who thinks he was appointed to enforce and not to make law; some of his sort even occupy places in the highest courts of the nation. In the news columns of The Sun we find this information: Questions have been asked by Boxing Commissioner O'Nell of several promoters and trainees later regarding the propriety of allowing white men to put on the gloves with Negroes in public bouts at club operating under the new law. Commissioner O'Nell, it appears, is in search of expert opinion to be used perhaps in framing a resolution compelling Negroes to box among themselves. It is understood that Commissioner O'Nell has begun a personal investigation of existing condition in response to protests from persons who do not believe the races should clash in the squared circle. As he proceeds with his inquiry the Commissioner may discover that while many ring followers favor the color line, others believe that it should be a white man's privilege to box a Negro if he so desires. What has Commissioner O'Neill to do with that question? The law under which he was appointed contains nothing about it, nor does it authorize him to make personal investigation of it and report upon it. Why cannot he attend to his business, which he is paid for, and leave it to the legislature to attend to its business? He might even wait for the legislature to ask his official opinion as to the workings of the new law. The officiousness of the Commissioner of Boxing is on a par with that of the police authorities who some time ago, despite the existence of a drastic civil rights law in this State, went snooking, without warrants, into Negro hotel dining rooms and similar places "to see if white and black people frequented them." It was and is none of their business. Boxing Commissioner O'Neil should be notified by the Albany authorities to attend to his business as Boxing Commissioner. TROUBLES OF HOUSEWIVES. The Negro is so sensitive in some things as to be childish in it. He is so proud in some things as to be foolish in it. He is so vain in some things as to be ridiculous in it. And, when he is reminded of the fact he becomes as indignant as a lord, regarding the reminder as a personal affront. In many things he asserts the right to act as a child, and resents the insinuation that he does not act as a man. This sensitive condition is found more generally among Negro women than men. Negro housewives who can afford to have help, or are forced at times to have it, for one domestic purpose and another, come upon is as often as they seek it. Nowhere that we have been, in any section of the country, do Negro women desire to work for Negro housewives. In most cases they consider it it as an insult to do so, and do not hesitate to show that they so consider it. It is unfortunate for them, who need the help. Like Jacob's Dinah of old, they prefer to go out and visit the daughters of the land than to accept work at home among their own. Now, a very painful phrase of the situation has developed along with this pronounced and very troublesome indisposition of Negro women to work for Negro housewives; if such a housewife, in despair of securing the service of one of her own, employs a white servant, the news of it flies as on the wings of the wind, and the offending housewife is held up to scorn and everything else ugly, as being "stuck up," as being "better than her own people," as "taking the bread out of the mouths of our children to put it in the mouths of strangers." One such case in a block, in a small town, will make it so disagreeable for the housewife that she will find it more satisfactory to discharge the white he'b and do the work herself. It is to be hoped that there will be progressive improvement away from this condition. Our women should have no more objection to working for one of their own than for the stranger. All work is honorable, when it is; and, when necessity compels one, it should not be a question of the color of the employer, but the character of the work and the money paid for the doing of it. In seeking for employment we should look at the matter in that way. James Whitcomb Riley, the sweet singer of Indiana, declares that he has written his last poem. He has been kept in bed much of the time the past two years by paralysis, which has now begins again with the poem that way. Our best use is the pen to touch the rays and the metra" Mr. Riley is one of the most popular poets of the times. He was a good and helpful friend of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and our literary people in Indianapolis all speak highly of him as a whole-souled man whom everybody loves and admires. He is a poet of the born sort, not of the made sort, of whom the country has too few. LET BOYS SELL NEWSPAPERS LET BOYS SELL NEWSPAPERS. It is a remarkable fact that most of the agents who handle THE AGE are adults, grown up people, men and women, not only in New York and in other large cities, but in the smaller towns, near and remote; and this has been the case for thirty years. It has been found impossible to get Negro newsboys, or boys after school hours, to handle THE AGE, as they handle the white newspapers of the same character, although the percentage of profit they make on sales of single copies of THE AGE is four times greater than that they make on sales of white newspapers. We have been given to understand in numerous instances that parents object to their boys handling Negro newspapers. That this disposition is well-nigh general would seem to be confirmed by the indisposition of youngsters to handling such papers. This is a remarkable condition, which parents cannot afford to encourage or countenance. People who will not work for their own people, and who discourage their children from doing so, when they need work, stand in their own light and nurture a false pride that will destroy the roots of self-respect. EDITORIAL NOTES A house divided against itself cannot stand. The Sun calls him Willrun Wilson and Harper's Weekly calls him Wilson Willrun. It reduces itself to that. Italians are fearfully handy with the stiletto and the gun. Last week, at Hackensack, N. J., Inazio Plescia shot to death his wife, his two children, his two mothers-in-law and himself—six in all. The father-in-law was in the cellar. Congressman Underwood of Alabama, the biggest Democrat in Congress, Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri not excepted, says the Democrats are bound to win next year if they will avoid side issues and fight for "tariff for revenue only." A party without an issue is like a ship without a rudder. The Democratic party is that sort of derelict. It has no principles, no policies. "The Charleston Messenger says: "There is an opinion pervading the State on the part of the white man to do away with Negro secret societies." Now, what has "the white man" to do with it? Who made it his business? The Negro has as much right to maintain secret or other societies as the white man has, and he is going to continue to maintain them. The confession of the McNamara brothers, the Los Angeles dynamiters who blew up the Times building and twenty-one people, has thrown Samuel Gompers and his trade union people into a fit of shakes, which they style "disgust." The McNamaras assured the labor leaders that they were innocent, and a large amount of money was collected to defend them. While the trial was in progress, knowing that the evidence against them was conclusive, the men confessed their guilt. The Troy (N. Y.) Weekly Press calls attention to the fact that the son of his father, Arthur Pue Gorman, ran several thousand votes behind his ticket in the Maryland election, but onits to state that this was because of his endorsement of the demand for the disfranchisement of the Negroes of Maryland, which the people of the State have now repudiated for the second time. A son of his father who clings to the errors of his father is unworthy of his father. It is his business to correct his father's errors. Young Mr. Gorman will have plenty of time to think it over in the privacy of his home at Laurel, and while he is in the attitude of meditation the people of Maryland can go on to higher and better things than old Mr. Gorman stood for and young Mr. Gorman made a brave front to stand for, but fell down. and thus escaped. In a raid on Chinatown last week the San Francisco police visited fifty-seven opium joints and captured 216 smokers, 31 of whom were Negroes and whites, the others being Chinamen. There is a determined movement, not only in San Francisco and other places in the United States, but in China to destroy not only opium smoking, but the opium trade. For a while Great Britain, "the most Christian nation," stood in the way of the movement in China, because it interfered with her monopoly of the drug production in India, but the extermination of the trade, it is believed, is now assured. The horrors produced by the opium habit in China and India are almost as great and brightening as that of the whiskey habit in Great Britain and A famous place in the British Isles, because the prevalent drinks are light wines and beers. The wishing out of the optum trade will be a great blessing to the people of China and India. There have been several failures of co-operative effort to do business of one sort and another in New York in the past few years, but that should not deter our men and women from such efforts. Failures are, in a measure, the necessary step to success, as it is by experience that we learn what is good and what is bad method. As we have few opportunities to learn business methods by growing up with the business we have to get the experience the best way we can, even if it be through the sore ordeal of failure after failure. It is said that Peter Cooper failed at a dozen things before he found the sign of success. Nearly every day we meet some man of the race who, having made a venture by himself, or in partnership and failed, has no disposition to try again. He thus loses the capital he lost and the experience he gained in the losing of it. There is nothing but death in discouragement of any sort. Three men, five men, ten men, with a hundred dollars apiece can start a good business of most any sort, and while letting one of them manage it, earn an independent wage while the business grows. Plenty of them are beginning to do so here in New York and in other parts of the country. Try it. it you! Mr. Wu Ting Fang is slated for Secretary of Foreign Affairs in the cabinet of the first President of the first Chinese Republic; but the first Chinese Republic is still coming; it has not as yet arrived. We shall give it a glad welcome when it does get here. Progressive China has learned much in the past ten years from educated Chinamen like Mr. Wu, who have been diligent students of Western administrative and economic policies that aim at the greatest good for the greatest number, however far they fall below their aim. And, then, the phenomenal awakening of Japan and the decisive defeat of Russia by the Japanese in the war in Manchuria, taught the Chinese that it was not impossible for them to oerthrow the corrupt Manchu dynasty. A similar lesson has been taught the millions of India who are ruled with an iron hand by Great Britain. Japan, China and the Asiatic states are all in geographical hailing distance of each other, and the movement for larger intellectual and civil freedom actuates them all, with Japan as the light bearer. Wages are very low in Japan. Brick-layers get 50 and shoemakers 40 cents a day; school teachers get $8 a month and 8,000 government clerks get 50 cents a day. Women earn from 3 to 4 cents a day. Of course the cost of living is not what it is in this country. Dried fish and rice and plenty of vegetables is the standard diet. The same is true in China. On the wharves of Hong Kong, China, we saw workmen buy a bowl of vegetable and rice soup for less than a penny, on which they did a hard half day's work. In Japan the people we saw were unusually healthy and muscular, although very small in build. A soup of many vegetables, rice and dried fish or a small portion of pork, will take anybody a long way through the day, after anybody has learned the hang of "a soup" like that. Our Italian here do a hard day's work on a half loaf of bread and a tomato and onion. Last summer, when the price of meat was so high, we saw hundreds of them make a mid-day meal of that, on street grade work out East New York way, and they looked healthy and strong. But to educate the stomach to respect the pocketbook is a hard job. THE NEGRO PRESS Death of Gormanism in Maryland. Thank God, we're yet men!—Baltimore Times. Chivalric.

Some of the Conditions that Poor Pasters Have to Face. Please allow space in our great church organ, the Star, to say a few words respecting our proud Zion Church, the church of my choice. As it seems to me, Zion church, the church, yes, we love her. Our work is for her. We labor in her field and we are a part of her; a spoke in the wheel. We are workmen on the strong old ship, but where is she going? To what place is the pilot headed? In what direction does the compass point? It seems to my mind, unless a speedy change, she will soon run upon a sand-bur and a wreck will be the result. For instance, let us consider who we are, what we are, and where we are. Zion ministers are poor by an overwhelming majority; a few of them are in better circumstances. We might be safe to say 99 of each 100 have no shelter, no home for his children and should sickness or death occur would have to be cared for and buried at the expense of friends, and they are serving a people more or less in the same environment possibly will remain so unless a change. I mean to say that the turf on the church is too high and it ought to be decreased. It ought to come down, and must come down, if Zion holds her people in the church too, are leaving our church and going to others, on account of so much church tax, and many others are making threats to do so. Why, Zion is furnishing other denominations with ministers, members and almost building up at that. She will spend all she will run on the sand-bur and a wreck will sure follow. Many a minister can barely set to Conference, and afterwards has to go to the many are compelled to take his own earnings to settle Connectional chlam, and he fails it will be said the job was too big for him. The job is not too big for him alone, but for the layman the new, the members as well for others at the rate Zion's ship is speeding now. The preachers', poor wives, many of them, are compelled to tug at the wastub for the public, go and stay late in the cotton fields, almost go chad like a slave servant, what cause? High Connectional chlam. Men and brethren, the cloud is rising. The rooftop of the muttering room is a wall of lightning can be seen.

Good Insurance is Good. Provide for a rainy day by taking out an insurance policy in a reliable company. The prudent, man looketh ahead and safeguards himself against misfortune overtakes him.—Washington National Union. Brave Women of Maryland. The colored voters of Maryland are to be congratulated upon the brave fight they made to bring forth the defeat of that iniquitous measure. The Negro to a man went into the fight and left no stone unturned to defend the efforts of Gorman and his colleague, who worked night and day but the women got into the fight and have kept the men spurred up and saw that they went to the polls and cast their votes for their manhood suffrage, their homes and their firesides. The women of Maryland have set an excellent example by colored voters of the entire nation they well follow—see that the men use their ballot for the home and the fireside of the race—Charleston (W. Va.) Mountain Leader. Ages of Referendum and Recall: We will cite an instance of the referendum, or recall, which the West is now advocating, to show how old it is. A noble citizen by the name of Aristides was no hometown and of our own was Aristides the Just. His enemies in sufficient numbers petitioned for his banishment, and a vote was ordered. Another instance was that of Faustus of Athens, he too, was marked for banishment, or recall as it is now put, and a vote was ordered. Athens still exists as the capital of Greece, but this is no longer of existence 2,300 years ago. Now it is hallowed as a new creation—Washington Bee. The Race Press Together on Washington. Dr. Booker T. Washington traveled the red light districts of London, Paris and Berlin and was not molested, and thus we had "The Man Fartherest Down". Then, why should it be dangerous for him to travel in the same district in his own country? An article that there are occasions when we certainly get together. Last week the entire race press featured the Washington-Urlrich case. Display headlines with well written stories of the affair did credit to the publishers. In many instances the news article was backed up by a forbide editorial declaring the race was a racist event and the distinguished educator's influence increased rather than impaired by the incident—Chicago Defender. The Man Behind the Ballot. CHURCH TAXATION (From the Star of Zion.) I was not your, be your, everybody is watching you, brainstorm. This article, I suppose, will be heavily scored. A continued discussion will not be participated in by the writer, but bear in mind that the above article voices the sentiment of not a few. D. W. UNDERWOOD. Fayettville, N. C. ANOTHER REPLY FROM NORWOOD To the Batter of the ARM: About November 23 there appeared in two or more papers an article on "Lyon Answers Rev. Norwood's Criticism." He criticizes my being personal, yet in his reply he is much more personal than I am, full of abusive epithetes, as we supposed it would be; and yet what he said in that article is nothing in comparison to what he wrote in the appearance of my article. He misrepresents my article, the copy of which read, "I regret being personal, consensual, and crossing my disposition," as which or which was furledible him. I also to be that "cross in my disposition" as it appeared in The Ann was an error. Still he plays on that error as though he had not understood it. He misunderstands the aim of my article. I was not discussing the agitation of leaving his family, and from the relative to the agitation, was attentive to that he is not the proper one to lead the agitation because it was a selfish, personal matter with him. And from the way he is handling the matter, custom is to hit any one that I think is disturbing my family, Church, state or self. This is my custom. Long, have I done so with the newspapers of Delaware, my native, those of Baltimore, Washington and others. As I said more than two years ago in answering Dr. Brooks of New York, when he suggested that the colored membership can be should swarm and come out, because the colored members in the General Conference body, I answered him in the Pioneer Press under "New York Nonense," showing that his motive was selfish and that it was not because he exchange the best leadership in the church for the leadership of a few self-serving, tall-end men of that same body who would head of the new organization. I am still ready to meet those self-serving, tall-end fellows, even if it be Dr. Lyon. This defense is based on the fact that whether it be from women or from traitors within, I am through with defending our being in, and remaining in the church. Am now simply watching those fellows who are trying to fool us out. He criticizes my reference to Bishop Scott. From what I have read, he is not to answer for himself, more competent to care for himself than Dr. Lyon is to take care of him. The Bishop neither lacks nor information when he wants to speak. The Doctor compares our records. He tells us what he has done, or I may say, what he started to do. As many of his enterprises have been done, he tells what I have not done. Then he tells what he is, and what I am. During his time the Liberian Government to this country has held a position have been in Church and army. He has been the wife of many of them. He has never made a position for himself, but has secured most of them through Friends. He has been a regular channel, same time I have been at one job and in the same institution, and at eight different stations only which came to me by legal means. His work has come through a regular channel as mine has is less liable to have bones than one whose work has come through in the same institution, and specially those that have come through politics. I have never been compelled to go away nor furnish instructions for voters and are sometimes compelled to do. I have never been around bowing to political bowers to see the sign pattern that I might see. I sought the indemnity of preachers' meetings and conferences that I might get the President to appoint me to any position to be received them through favor. I fill positions not of his own creation, nor comes through regular channels, he is more than likely to receive them through favor. I accept them he is under the bosses. I have never so accepted one, therefore I am not under the bosses. The result is I am free I was born free. I am a religious Democrat, a confederate autonomist. I have never had to defend my church or party when I thought they were wrong, or keep silent as all the Negro office holders did in the Brownsville soldier affair and other cases when their people have been wronged. Neither would I sell out my people nor keep quiet when they are wronged as Negro office holders are compelled to do or lose their jobs. They never lose their jobs. After having received all these things at the hands of his church and state, he has turned his guns on his church because she did not give him the two remaining jobs that he wanted. The state would better be careful. Those whom he style as my bonuses know just about as well as he knows that have no bosses. I have superior others and I respect them as such, but no bosses. Neither am I writing in the interest of those whom he calls my bossman, nor against him, but in defense of my church. If no so doing I hit Dr. Lyon, he will squal again. I am writing in a personal capacity, am representing no one but myself, that is in an official way, while in the aggregate I do not represent any one. I am playing for votes for the General Conference. A great many of my brothers during the last two years have suggested that I should be a candidate for the same have invariably done so. I am in me. In that way I am a candidate for the General Conference. I am very thankful to them for indications of that confidence reposed in me. I feel sure that no one has ever been so enthusiastic for to give a home for superintended preachers and wives on condition I hope thereby to become a 'candidate for the General Conference'-make the proposal and see what effect it has had on the best. The Doctor claims I am ignorant, which I admit. I never did have his chance to spent all months in school in my native city in the 1980s. I am a great student in Washington. But I have learned about Europe, Asia and Africa, I have learned through studying geography, history and lectures. The same is true with the members of "Doctor's" events, every himself. He is always one of us that has been out of the United States, and the average of them has had not better educational advantages than the good does do not think he should do. He has brought me to the same time and no significant, because they have not had his chances to become intelligent. Neither should be known to me, but as he knows, he does not know as much as he knows. The both of the same time was to write in The Southwestern that only the in our conference were consistent to do on a pastoral letter sent out by the last session of our conference. I now has the choice of the same time as the other. I am not a born brother to send him to the General Conference of 1912. The Doctor may want the value of these same-time ignorant brothers: some time he careful in the conducting I will not give to the same time. I am not a good one for appearance that they want. They are that while for eight years he has in the dark continent reverting to time we have been living in the most progressive place. The most progressive entry is in the world, and that is not as much as in the world. SYLVESTER H. NORW... Libería Has a Flag.

In 3000, Anno Mundi, the Foundations of the Second Temple Were Laid on the Ruins of the First. Nothing is more discouraging to the brethren who are interested in the proposed erection of a Masonic Temple than the circulation of an erroneous report of the construction of a temple, although be called upon to build or supervise the erection of a Masonic Temple in the first Masonic District. How unwise, how illogical it is for us to expect the Grand Lodge of house to build a temple in the First Masonic District, and when supervise the erection of the First Masonic District are justly entitled to the same consideration as are also the brethren of the Third. Fourth. Fifth and Sixth districts in their relative order upon the principle for the next fifty years our Grand Lodge will be kept brutally engaged in erecting Masonic Temples in the various cities throughout the jurisdiction to may nothing of the latter deposition of the brethren. There are innermight rights which subordinate bodies may exercise at their will and pleasure and among these is the right to provide their own meeting place. And now we have ordinate lodgers of the First Masonic Association have organized a building association for the purpose of acquiring or building a temple to last for all time (a matter which is entirely with the purpose of the Grand Lodge and every brother connected with the craft to support them in every lawful way as best they can. Therefore brethren, let us down with envy, down with spite and malice, and pull altogether. Result: In hoc signo vinces. The annual election of officers of Medina Temple, No. 19, A. E. A. O. N. M.

TUSKEGEE, Ala., Dec. 4.—Perhaps the most interesting and elaborate program yet given by The Literary Scout was the pre-Thanksgiving affair which took place in the reception rooms of Dorothy Hall on Thursday evening, November 25, from 7.30 until 11 o'clock. The spacious rooms were tastefully decorated with crimson and gold autumn leaves and potted plants indigenous to this section at this time. As centerpieces for the tables were placed autumn leaves of various colors inlaid with evergreen leaves which made a very artistic as well as an attractive effect. Mrs. Birdie Lee Jones presented the program "The Origin of Thanksgiving" and while she did not exhaust the subject by any means, may it be said that her production was one of deep thought and careful preparation. Arthur P. Mack led in the discourse, "Thanksgiving in Other Countries." An analytical discussion followed each one of these productions and many valuable as well as many interesting facts bearing upon our Thanksgiving day were brought out. Miss Mary Runyon and Alvin J. Neely delighted the audience with their singing a duet, entitled "Could the Flowers Only Speak," from Gabriel's Amateur Operetta. The program closed with the singing of "The Light of Love" by Misses Bailey and Runyon and Messrs. Goiens and Neely. Refreshments were served by Misses Addie D. Thornton and Mary Runyon and Messrs. Robert L. Waggener, Parris P. Jones, Robert S. Darnaby and Edward S. Snyder, chairman. The guests of honor were Misses Ernestine Suarez, Lena R. Cheeks, M. F. Lane, Mrs. L. B. Cannon and Alamancy L.

Hunt will read the principal paper, "The Modanas in Art." the industries and manufactories. 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 perma- make 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, with a small percentage of the offered 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 $27 per acre, and it seems that these opportunities to make money and to help the race 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 laudable enterprise. The bank is under a pledge to invest a large amount of its incoming capital stock in buying its land, cutting them up in large farms and selling them to our people, and therefore make an urgent appeal to our moneyed people throughout the country to reach these profitable investments by buying our stock, on which they will reap a splendid dividend.

WALTON THEATRICAL COMMENT N. Washington, D. C., the colored performers have formed a club to be known as the Cosmopolitan Theatrical Beneficial Association. Louis A. Mitchell and Lew Henry have announced the objects of the organization as follows: To entertain all colored theatrical performers while in the capital city, and to look after the colored members of the theatrical profession who are sick and in destitute circumstances. The promoters state that they are desirous of co-operating with the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association of New York, the Goats of Chicago and the Cleft Club of New York. Theatre Not to Draw Line. The announcement in last week's issue of THE AGE that Harlem was to have a new theatre, to be located in 11th street, between Fifth and Lenox avenues, and owned and controlled by owned people, seems to have caused no of comment, not only among the owned citizens of Greater New York, but among the whites as well. The white press of the city has given the project more than passing attention in the news columns. One statement made by several of the papers which the officers of the management concern desire to correct is that the theatre is to be built for coloured people only. The promoters of the concern do not believe in discrimination in public places of amusement, and therefore would not be guilty of conducting a playhouse where a person would be liable to discrimination on account of race or color. While the theatre will be built for the convenience of the colored residents of Harlem, there will be no drawing of the color line. We have been subjected to impost discriminations with such marked frequency that we are devout believers in the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. John Glass' Mourning Band. Seventeen days ago John Glass, of the town of Glass and Jones, appeared on the streets of New York City wearing a wearing band on his overcoat sleeve. Being asked what member of his family was dead he would tell all investigators that his father had died in the family. Mr. Malone and that the member of the elder Glass had been buried before he had a chance to get to the cemetery. Two days later Mr. Glass was seen by his friends and his face was minus the look of sadness and the mourning band on his sleeve was conspicuous by his absence. When questioned by his friends as to the change in appearance the young man had the following statement to make: That a few weeks ago a letter had been sent to him in Philadelphia stating that his father was dead and wanted him to come to Mississippi and once that was more questioned of bours or for his father. When he received the letter he at once wrote to Greenwillie, but not receiving any reply, concluded that his father had departed this life. Two weeks later he heard from house in which letter the writer stated that the sick man, while in a serious condition, was still alive. Then John Thomas quickly removed the mourning band. Eugene King, of King and Bailey, Dead Word was received in New York Tuesday of the death of Eugene M. King, of the team of King and Bailey, who died in Copenhagen, Denmark, November $Z_{2}$ of a complication of dis- cause. It is the intention of Leo Bailey to ship the remains of his late partner to the United States for burial. Over six weeks ago information was received in New York City that Eugene King was seriously ill in Copenhagen, and that the prospects for his recovery were slight. The young comedian's life new came at a time when he was rooking gig hit in the vaudeville theat- rue Europe, and the act was compi- nented several months of choice Lan and Bailey formed one of the leading colored teams in vaudeville, the young comedians were intimately associated on the stage for 13 years, serving as picks. About five years they attracted favorable attention to the Black Patti company, and the following season went into vaudeville. The late George W. Walker came so impressed that the work of the youngsters hit, in conjunction with George L. Archer, put them out in an act known as Williams and Walker's Charity Drops. The act appeared in many of the leading vaudeville houses of the East and also played over the Selvian-Considine Circuit. Nearly two years ago the act was taken to England by George L. Archer, and the opening was not an auspicious one. After going to Hamburg, Germany, where additional trouble was encountered, the "Chocolate Drops" went to London. King and Bailey decided to leave the act, as it was not meeting with much success, and made the matter over the Mosa of Stoll Circuit. The form of entertainment they presented a team seemed to please the spects of King Immensely, and was not long before they were sending billing to America showing that the act was being featured on the various While the act was playing in Denmark, Eugene King, who did the comedy work, Leo Bailey being the straight man, was compelled to quit work on account of ill-health. The best medical attendance was secured in Copenhagen, but the attending physicians gave up all hope of the patient's recovery some weeks ago. The deceased leaves a memorial to the member of the Frogs and the Colored Vaudeville Be-nevolent Association. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE. DR. BEANS FROM BOSTON CO.—Alham Chicago, Chicago, Ill.

Byrd, president of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association, announces that he has appointed Sylvester Russell, official deputy of the Wolverine Lions and Jullus Glenn, Tom Lemonder and John W. Copper traveling deputies. Gaines and Brown's furnished the feature act at the Crescent Theatre the first of the week. The act improves with the week as it begins than when it appeared a few years ago on the big time. Gaines is still getting funnier as a comedian and Brown shows improvement as a straight man. The Brinkleys are at the Family Theatre, Detroit. They were tendered a full-dress reception while playing at the Altmeyer Theatre, McKeeport, by the businessman, Hodie Montgomery. Those present were: William Davis, William Walker, Johnson, William-Montgomery, Albert Mack, C. Montgomery, Manual Lyle, Henry Jordan, Tom Jones, Ray Seahorne, Tom Sotts and Mr. Cobbs. Anderson and Golins are at the Greely Square Theatre. Al Anderson has written another new act for the team entitled "Dixieland," which is being featured over the Loew Circuit. Anderson's team has bought another piece of property in Gloversville, N. Y., and expects to build in the spring. It can be said without any misgiving that the team of Williams and Brown, which was seen at the Crescent Theatre last week, is different from any of the colored acts seen in New York for some time. Furthermore, the act is one that should make good use of an audience - white or good - Mr. Williams and a member of the Williams and Walker Company, and Miss Brown is late of the Smart Set Company. Both are singers who know how to use their voices, and the act also has some dramatic possibilities. Miss Brown should in changing from an old woman character to a young girl who has been away from home, show more enthusiasm and confidence, and have second appearance on the stage. If Williams and Brown display as much business ability in booking their act as they have in its construction they should some day land on the big time. THEATRE HIRES COLORED HELP.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BY LESTER A WALTON A Source of Wenderment. THERE are times when I read the columns of the New York World when I am caused to wonder if the men who control the policies of the paper pay much attention to ideas hatched by their sporting writers. As a rule fair in its editorials on the so-called race problem, one will, on the other hand, find an attempt on the part of some sporting writer of the World to start an unnecessary race discussion. In days ago an article appeared in the World under a two-column head, stating: "Bouts Between White and Black Men May Be Barred." The article was as follows: If Boxing Commissioner O'Nell has billed the commissioner for a battle between white and colored men at the clubs in this State. The commissioner later wanted by the public, and that colored men like Bam Langford, Joe Jeannette, Sam McVey, Mervy Harris and George Cotter, for the sake of the public, while Kaufman, Jim Flynn, Carl Morris, Tom Kennedy and Jack Letter should be commissioned. The commissioner O'Nell has been asked by many admirers of the sport to put an end to the matching of colored men and women in a personal investigation into the matter. The writer of the article bears the name of John Pollock. It would be unfair to ask him if he thought he would have a fair chance if he fought in Russia, but I desire to propose that he would have white and colored piglets from fighting, when does the white race expect to ever have a champion of the world? The Real Facts in the Case. Advices from Cuba state that John J. McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, and Umpire Rigler were fined $20 each for making derogatory statements about Cubans. It has been reported that some eating dinner in a cafe they were heard to make in the statement that all Cubans were merely Negroes, whereupon a policeman was called to arrest the two baseball players. McGraw and Rigler stubbornly resisted the police officer because he was a Negro and that two white police officers were then summoned and placed them under arrest. The police officer meant to have said was that at first a Cuban police officer about the color of Mendez of the Cuban Stars (fast black), attempted to arrest McGraw and Rigler, and that he assisted the police officers of the color of Marans of the Cincinnati National League team. It is also highly probable that McGraw and Rigler were profusely using the obnoxious term "Negro." It is also reported that American Negro either with his fists or something else. 8t. Christopher Win Two. The St. Christopher's team met and defeated the fast St. Cyprian team, known as the "Speed Boys," by the score of 30 points to 18. The game was fast and exciting from start to finish. The first half ended in favor of the St. Cyprians score 15 to 12, but in the second half Christophes had things their way, scoring 18 points against 3 for St. Cyprians. This is the first defeat for the "Speed Boys" this season. In a preliminary game the St. Christopher Juniors loutened the Salem-Creconcents first team by the close score of 8 to 7. The St. Christopher boys were a little off form and played a somewhat lattie game, which accrued to 10 points to 10. The crowd turned out to witness these games, which were held in the gymnasium of St. Philip's Parish on Wednesday, November 29. St. Christopher's Colors in Front William L. Stokely, of the St. Christopher Club, won the feature event of the athletic games, held Saturday evening under the superspace of the Norwegian A. C., namely the two-mile run. Competing against him were such runners as Thomas Collins, indoor champion; Harry Smith and George Obermeyer. Stokely received a handicap of 10 yards, taking a considerable portion of the runners against whom he was competing, the advantage was not considered much especially as everybody was overtaken by Collins and Obermeyer but Stokely. Hampton Defeats Shaw 2 to 0. Shaw University went down to defeat before the largest crowd that ever gathered on the Hampton Institute grounds to witness a football game. Thanksgiving Day. It was the most spectacular game ever witnessed in the contest, and the contest was filled with genuine thrills, and all the things in football that keep the blood at fever heat. The teams for the most part were evenly matched, Hampton having the better of the contest at critical moments. The punting of Bender for Hampton and for Shaw were the features of the game. Shaw received the kick and advanced the ball to Hampton's 20-yard line, where it was lost on downs. Bender punted to Shaw's 30-yard line. The first and second quarters consisted chiefly of punting, with one exception, when Shaw held a field goal from Shaw's 25-yard line, which was missed by a narrow margin. At the beginning of the third quarter Hampton carried the ball from her 45-yard line to Shaw's 10-yard line by line, then hit the ball which handed five and ten yards at will. Hampton fumbled the ball, which was secured by a Shaw man. Shaw attempted a double pass on her 10-yard line to Kirkley for Hampton, knocked the net. The game began at the beginning of the fourth quarter, delayed pages and criss-crosses, but Hampton's defense was too strong for them to make any hardship gain. The latter part of the game was a win against the game ended 2 to 0 in favor of Hampton. Shaw played a better game than in former years and showed the form of a well-coached team. Shaw—Morris, left end; Harold, Frasier, left tackle; Johns, left guard; Rogers, center; Strudwick, right guard; Fantse, right tackle; Webb, Hargrove, right end; Gregg, left halfback; Willingham, right back; Brown (captain), fullback; Hampton—Jones, left end; Alken, J., left tackle; Alken, W. H., left guard; Warner, center; Stoney, R., right guard; Gayle, right tackle; Scott Hargrove, right back; Shearer, right halfback; Bender, quarterback; Flynt, fullback. Lincoln and Howard Tie. Before a crowd of nearly 5,000 spectators on Howard's campus Thanksgiving, Lincoln and Howard closed the 1911 season with the greatest game known in the history of football among colored colleges, neither team being able to score. Owing to the previous ruins the field was bespattered with numerous mud spots which rendered it far from ideal; yet everyone was thankful that it was not worse. At 220 the Lincoln warriors, led by Capt. Bird, made their appearance on the gridiron. Ten minutes later Howard's mighty machine led by Capt. Gray followed. After a few preliminaries the toss for goals was made and Capt. Bird won, but preferred to kick to Gray's men, who chose the northern goal. The game began by a kick from Collins to Howard on her ten yard line and the ball was brought up to the twenty yard line. Gray then tore off ten yards around left end, followed with a fifteen yard sprint by Forbes around right end and then, amid the cheers of the Howard rabble, Brice uncorked a forward pass to Oliver, the latter gaining 7 yards.
