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.

It is of the utmost importance to both races in the Southern States that har- monious relations should subsist between them; this much is acknowledged. by what are commonly called “the bes white people and the best colored peo- ple. Roth sorts ring the changes on the slogan in any time of trouble; but, when reduced to-an absurdity, it usual- ly means that Negroes must not réort to extreme measures when the whites rise up against the law and madly wreak vengeance upon guilty and inno- cent Negroes alike. No Negro or white man is ever legal- ly 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 ven- Reance of such upon white criminals that they so readily measure out to black criminals. A civil procedure es- tablished 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 grat- itied, at the attention which the white press of the South bas given to the Interview of Rev. Richard Carroll of the Columbia Southern Plowman, pub- lished in Tue Ace of November 16, in which Gov. Cole Blease of South Caro- lina was gibbeted as 2 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 state- ment of the case as to the first clause and startling as to the second. We have no doubt that Gov. lease, like Senator Tillman, is not only a hypo- crite but a demagogue, who ikes 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 tSate. It is the ‘hypocritical demagogues of the Cole Blease sort, with the mob wrathers vebind them, who make the situation so grave. CHURCH TAXATION. Excessive taxation of the membershig of all of our Methodist church bodits 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, ir private and in public life. Not what the purse can stand for. but what is de- sired, rules from the kitchen and boud- oir to the City Council and the Con: gress. The man on top has come to think that the man at the bottom ean hold up all of the weight that seltish- ness, greed and ignorance smay 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 obliging bottom drops out, leaving nothing but a hole in the ground, 2 desert of sand or 2 placid sheet of water to show for it. ft hap- pens that way in the church, the home. the state and the nation wher those who have the taxing pewer want any- thing—they pay for it while the money lasts and then resort to borrowing. to the credit system, which eats up cvery- thing. ‘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 “aystem now in vogue. There are churches with no more-than 160 members that have to raise $5,000 to meet running expenses, pastor's sal- ary, interest on mortgage debt and con- nectional assessment. And most of those, 1) 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 $1200, which, with the other charges, make a taxation of $10,000, or $10 per member. The situation calls for fewer general officers, ior consolidation of related offides, including official organs, ‘and for direct Jegistation 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. Read what Pastor Underwood says WHAT HAS HE TO DO WITH IT? ‘The busybodies of the world live by creating ‘confesion for themselves and for others. Sober-sided people whe 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 Mlow- ing his pipes, and himself. “ Take the case of Roxing Commis- sioner O'Neill. He was «,ointed by Gov. Dix to overlook and sec 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 ever occupy places in the highest courts of the natjon. In the news columns of he Sun we find this information Questions have been asked by Boxing Commissioner O'Nell of. several promoters and trainers lately regarding the propriety Of allowing white men to put'on the gloves with Negroes 1a public bouts at clubs oper: ating under the pew law. Commissioner O'Neh, te appears, In to nearch of expert opinion to be used perbape tn tracing a revolution compelting Negroes to box Among thenivelven, It Ik undeentood that Comatvaloner O'Nell hax becun m pernonal: fuvestigntion of exinting condition In re noose to proteste from perrons who do ut. belleve ‘the Pacer ahowld clas tn tbe aquared circle, Aa he proceeds with bis Inquiry the Commlsalonr may dlacover fine while many ring followers favor the sjulor tine, thee belleve tbat Te abowld be fe white man's priviicge to box a Nearo If he a0 desires. What has Commissioner O'Neill to do With that question ? The law under which he was appointed contains nothing about it, nor docs 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 Iexislature 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 din- ing 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 Com-_ uleabomer. TROUBLES OF HOUSEWIVES. The Negro is so sensitive in some things as to be childish in it. He is sc 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 in- dignant as a lord, regarding tht re- minder 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 Kenerally among Negro women than men. Negro housewives who can af- ford 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 house- wives. In most cases they consider it it as an insult to do so, and do not hesitate to show that they so consider it, Tt is unfortunate for them, who meed 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 hat developed along with this pronounced and very troublesome’ indis- position 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 ser- vant, the news of it flies as on the wings ‘of the wind, and the offending house- wife 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 chil- dren to put it in the mouths of strang- ers.” 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'p 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, hut 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 hes written his last poem. He has been kept in bed much of the time the past two years by paralysis, which has now the ‘pen to catch: the p anid the metre.” “Mr., Ribey ig: gue Gta: most Fopalar poss of the thoen fie wee good asd helpful: friend ef Peal Lax rence Ducher, amd our literary people in Indianapolis all speak highly of ‘him as a whole-souled man ‘whom everybody loves and admires. He ie a poet of the born sort, not of the made sort, of whom the country has too few. - LET BOYS SELL NEWSPAPERS. It is a remarkable ract ‘that most of the agents who handle Tax Acr are adults, grown up people, mesi and wom- en, not only in New York and in other large cities, but in the amaller towns, near and remote; ahd this has been the case for thirty years. It has been found impossible to get Negro newsboys, or boys after school hours, to handle Tus ‘Ace, as they handle the white news- papers of the same character, although ‘the percentage of profit they make on sales of single copies of Tux Ace is four times greater than that they make ‘on sales of white newspapers. We have been given to understand in numerous instances that parents ob- ject to their boys handling Negro news- Papers. That this disposition is well- nigh general would seem to be con- firmed by the indisposition of young- sters to handling such papers. This is a remarkable condition, which parents cannot afford to encourage or counte- nance. People who will tot work for their own people, and who discourage their children from doing 40, when they need work, stand in their own light and nurture a false pride that will destroy the roots of self-respect.

It ‘has no principles, no’ policies. — “The Charleston Messenger says: “There is an opinion pervading the State on the part of the white man tb do away with Negro secret societies.” Now, what has “the white man” to do with it?) Who niade it his business? ‘The Negro has as much right to main- tain secret or other societies as the white man has, and he is going to con- tinue to maimain 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 “dis- gust.” The McNamaras assured the labor leaders that they were innocent, and a large amount of money was col- lected to defend them. While the trial was in progress, knowing that the evi- dence against them was conclusive, the men. confessed their guilt. The Troy (N. ¥.) 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 omits to state that this was because of his en- dorsement of the demand for the dis- franchisement of the Negroes of Mary- land, 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. Ii 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 ht is in the attitude of medi- tation 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 ig a determined movement, not only in San Francisco and other places: in the United States, but in China to destroy not only opium smoking, bat 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 exter- mination of the trade, it is believed, is now assured. The horrors produced by the opram hebit in China amd India are almost as great and shang 20 at of the whiskey bebit io Grest nd - ef: Eamupe ie net go deseractive [eta the ‘eitiali Eslands, because the eevalent drinks are light wines and beers... The wiping out of the opium 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 oppor- tunities 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 or- deal of failure after failure. It is said that Peter Cooper failed at a dozen things before re found the sign of suc- cess, 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 dol- lars 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, you! Mr. Wu Ting Fang is slated for See- retary of Foreign Aaffirs in the cabinet | of the first President of the first Chi- nese Republic; but the first Chinese Re- public is still coming; it has not as yet arrived. We shall give it a glad wel- come when it does get here. Progres- sive China has learned much in the past ten years from educated Chinamen like Mr. Wu, who have been diligent stu- dents of Western administrative and economic policies that aim at the great- est good for the greatest number, how- ever 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 Man- churia, 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 cach other, and the movement for larger intellectual and civil freedom actuates them all, with Japan >s the light bearer. Wages are very low in Japan. Brick- layers get SO and shoemakers 40 cents a day; school teachers get $8 a month and 8000 government clerks get SO cents a day. Women earn from 3 to 4 cents a day. Of course the cost of jiving is not what it is in this country. Dried fish and rice and plenty of vege- ables is the standard diet, The same s true in China, On the wharves of Hong Kong. China, we saw workmen nuy a bowl of vegetable and rice soup far less than a penny, on which they tid a hard half day’s work. In Japan he people we saw were uriusually healthy and musculur, although very mall in build. A soup of many vege- ables, rice and dried fish or a small jortion of pork, will take anybody # ong way through the day, after any- | xuly has learned the hang of “a soup” ike that. Our ltaliané here do a hard lay’s work on a half loaf of bread and a omato and onion. Last summer, when he price of meat was so high, we saw undreds of them make a mid-day meal f that, on street grade work out East Sew York way, and they looked healthy nd strong. But to educate the stomach » respect the pocketbook is a hard job. THE NEGRO PRESS Death of Gormaniam in Maryland. Thank God, we're yet men!--Baltl- more Times Chivairic.

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. Evans, John C. Moultrie presided. The next meeting will be held December 23, at which time Miss Sarah 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.
