NO COLOR LINE IN WEST INDIES Secretary of Jamaican Cricket Club of New York Makes Statement Jamaicans Discriminated Against on Account of Station and Not Because of Color WEALTH AND CULTURE COUNT The Charge of Color Discrimination Made by Thaddeus L. McDonald Refuted by R. Roger McLbourne. Branding as untrue and silly the assertion of Thaddeus L. McDonald, a native of Jamaica, now a student at Morgan College, Baltimore, which appeared in last week's issue of THE ACE to the effect that the color line is drawn in the West Indies between the blacks and mulattoes, R. Roger Melbourne, secretary of the Jamaican Cricket Club of New York, comes out in statement that white class distinction exists in Jamaica there is no discrimination on account of color. Mr. Melbourne expresses himself on conditions in Jamaica as follows: "I see by an article in THE ACE of last week that Thaddeus L. McDonald, a student of Morgan College, Baltimore, Mr. while partially agreeing with Mr. O'Connor De Cordova's article in THE ACE of January 11, in refutation of Miss Mary O'Connor's statement in the Sunday Herald that the Negro is a man only in Europe, takes exception to the term 'Negro' as used by Mr. De Cordova and alleges that the mulattoes in Jamaica are a distinct people from the blacks or Negroes." "When Mr. De Cordova came forward to refute Miss Owington a statement, Jacima he did not for one moment think that the Negro was not also a 'man' in the United States. He came forward out of justice to Negroes in general and Jamaicans in particular (he being himself a Jamaican), and that the spirit of the article was taken by the editor of THE Age was shown by the headline, Negro also a man in America. The matriarch has taken the assertion that mutilations in jamaica are a distinct people from the blacks or Negroes. That statement is as sweeping and misleading as it is ridiculous. He is muddled in his fragmentary statement, and one would gather that the color line is drawn. He has hopelessly mixed up color line with class distinction. "In New York City one hears much of the '400,' and in other localities the same class distinction, although during the recent visit of the Duke of Connaught New York '400' dwindled down to 300 or so. You see in every community there must be the classes. In Jamaica the mass of the population is composed of Negroes, and with the masses there are the world over penury and ignorance. "For convenience sake, according to Mr McDonald's viewpoint, I will divide the Negroes of Jamaica into two groups—the blacks and the mulattoes. There are people of black and mulattoe groups of Jamaica and otherwise, and the government of the colony are in the hands of these people with a few officials appointed by the colonial office in London. There Is No Color Line. That there is no color line in Jamaica is well known, but there is certainly such a thing as class distinction. It is enormous to think that there is a line drawn between the two groups of people. Among the blacks and mulattoes there are classes. The blacks culture and retirement would not recognize as their social equal the unorthodox and the tereza, but both groups of the same class are at par and receive the same social recognition from the white man. Nor is it expected that the cultured of both groups would bring themselves down to the level of the peasant population. To bring it more likely to the readers of THE Ack, the culture and retired class of Americans bokeh in sympathy with the ignorant Negroes who are the cause of law in the South, and would not allow themselves to be put in a class with them. The S. A. Cox Incident Reforms are needed in all governments and history teems with the names of relatives who have lived centuries aged down to our times. Reforms mean progress. There are, many men who have served for the rights of the Negro in Jamaica who are dead and gone. Mr. Cox is a relater and is esteemed by Jamaica at home and abroad, although many have too radical in his views. Mr. McDonald, we unite and against Mr. Cox raised a statement against Negro oppression he was suspended by his friends from the legislative Council. This is either a sign of ignorance or a wilful misrepresentation on his part. The truth of the matter is that Mr. Coe was suspended by regular parliamentary pro- cedure on account of what was considered an insult to the representative of the King. Indeed, he was censured by his own colleagues and a motion for suspension and a vote of confidence in the Governor, Sir Sydney Oliver, was moved, I think, by the Hon. D. A. Cornaldi, member for the parish of St. James, a representative of the people, who have been the most important McDonald are those of the ignorant Negros who, like the poor, we have always; they always have an imaginary grievance at home, and when they go abroad air themselves off and make boasts of the superior advantages which they enjoy in their native land. "It it seems almost incredible that a man like Mr. McDonald, claiming to be a student, could be so totally ignorant of current Jamaica history as he has shown him, that he must have left his home a long while and must have had to depend on others like himself, who misinterpret facts, for his information." CLERGY ATTENDS PERFORMANCE "Pinafore" Presented by Members of Church of St. Benedict the Moor—A Creditable Entertainment. Every seat was taken at the beginning of the performance of "Pinafore" at the Murray Hill Lyceum Tuesday evening. January 23, and during the first act the audience was increased by one or two hundred late comers. In every way the undertaking was a great triumph for the people of St. Benedict's Church. The singing by the principals and by the chorus was magnificent, and the acting would have been a credit to any company of professionals. A large number of the Catholic clergy of the city was attracted by their sympathy for St. Benedict's Mission and by the conviction that they would hear good music. Among them were noticed the Rev. John E. Burke, the Rev. Wm. Livingston, the Rev. Jas. O'Mahony, the Rev. Jno. A. Waters, the Rev. Samuel Ludlow, the Rev. Jno. J. Wilson, the Rev. W. J. Crosssey, the Rev. J. P Ridden and the Rev. Ed. J. Powers. The parishioners of the church were present almost in a aisle, and with them came their friend from all parts of New York and Brooklyn, the performers, but their friends have every right to be proud of the tendering of "Pinafore." There were many capable critics present and all agreed that the opera was creditably presented. "Pinafore" was produced under the direction of Mrs. O. L. Hooper, the orchestration by the Gregorian Musical Association, H. S. Huffs, president, and John M. Henderson, leader. In the cast were Patrick Martin, Thos. W. Moley, Walter Williams, Archie Thomas, William F. Jackson, W. H. Walker, Patrick Steed, Miss Henrietta Lee, Mrs. M. Ray and Mrs. O. L. Hooper. Others appearing were: Mrs. L. Bowie, Miss Vict, Boykin, Miss Anna Brown, Miss Marie Brown, Miss Ethel Busche, Miss Ethel Cushine, Miss Lola Jackson, Miss Queene Levy, Miss Ivy Levy, Miss Josephine Lee, Miss Marie Liggins, Mrs.-Eliz. Lilhenskjold, Miss Alice Murray, Mrs. H. D. Piedra, Miss Myrtle Ralston, Miss Marie Ray, Mrs. Vict, Robinson, Miss Mary Steed, Miss Helen Sullivan, Miss Ruth Streadricr, Miss Annie Thomas, Miss Sadie Thomas, Miss Georg, Walker and Mrs. R. N.

Westcott and Ed Jackson. PRISONERS CONFILMED Seventeen Negroes and One White Man Join Episcopal Church—One of the Prisoners Plays Organ at Services. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE PHILADELPHIA, PA, Jan 8-12 Seventeen colored men and one white man were confirmed into the Episcopal Church last Friday by Bishop Rhinelander, assisted by the Rev. J. D. Harewood, now a missionary, well known as assistant rector of the Church of Crixton, Bambridge street above Eighth street, at the Eastern Pentitary. The Rev. Harewood has been working among the men for a couple of years. A special room was prepared for the services. One of the prisoners played the organ. The services were simple and lasted an hour. Stanley Gilbert played the organ, and Mrs. Ida Chestnut sang. The Bishop wore the simple robes of his office and followed the singing with prayer. When the time came for laying on of hands by the Bishop, the prisoners were divided into groups of six. Their responses were made in a clear voice. Bishop Rhinelander urged them to lead better lives and dwelt upon the solemnity and importance of the confirmation rites. The prisoners were very much interested and attentive. The first communion will be given in a few weeks to those who were confirmed. At the end of the services each prisoner was presented with a copy of the "Earnest Communicant," a book containing prayers and advice. Nine of the men confirmed were baptized a short time ago by the Rev. Harewood. The white man was prepared by the Rev. T. W. Davidson, a white rector. Those confirmed consisted of a number of long and short term prisoners. BOOKS FOR MOUND BAYOU MOUND BAYOU, MISS, Jan. 30.—One hundred volumes were received a few days ago by Charles Banks for the Carnegie Library of Mound Bayou. The books were presented to the library by Robert N. Johnson, a well-known Negro business man of Pittsburg. DEMAND PROTECTION State and Federal Governments Show Little Cohesion About Lynchings Laborers Leave Hamilton. Special to THE NEW YORK AOR. HAMILTON, GA., Jan. 30—Since the lynching of four innocent Negroes in this town last week much ill feeling exists between the whites and blacks, and the Negroes are stirred up as they have never been before. Many colored farm hands have left this section, and the farmers are having a difficult time getting labor. The wave of "mobphobia" that seems to be afflicting many white ruffians in many parts of the United States is being viewed with much alarm by the Negroes everywhere, and many Negroes are declaring that if the states refuse to protect their colored citizens and the Federal Government looks on with apparent indifference and unconcern it will be in order for the Negroes to protect themselves. Developments following the lynching show that the trouble started over Norman Hadley, the white man who was murdered insulting Bertram Hallowes with whom he was infatuated, and that the mob did not bother about finding out whether the four Negroes were innocent or guilty, but put them to death anyhow. It is absolutely certain that Bertha Hathaway, the girl who was killed and who tried to protect her honor and was killed, was innocent, and that two of the men lynched had nothing to do with the murder of the white ruffian. Hadley was an unmarried planter and was deeply in love with Bertha Hathaway. He had been, pursuing the girl and had been warned to keep away from her. He disregarded the warning, however, and on Sunday afternoon went to the girl's home and tried to get her to come out to meet him. While Hadley was at the girl's home he was shot, but no one knows by whom Henry Anderson, one of the Negroes lynched, is said to have wanted to marry the girl, and it is possible that he shot the young planter. Bertha Hathaway said Hadley was shot by someone in ambush while he was calling to her to come to him. The developments have caused great indignation and a determined effort will be made to ferret out the members of the mob. Bertha Hathaway was only 20 years old and comely. WORK OF THE LEAGUE National Organizer Charles H. Moore Tells of Negro Business Institutions in Existence—Alabama League to Meet in February at Tuskegee. Special to THE NEW YORK AUOR TUNNED INSTITUTE, ALA., Jan. 24.—Charles H. Moore of Greensboro, N. C. National Organizer of the National Negro Business League, was here last week arranging for the meeting of the Alabama Negro Business League to be held here February 15 and 10. Prof. Moore gave on the following statement: "Since the organization of the National Negro Business League twelve years ago by Booker T. Washington, president, the Negro banks have been increased from two to fifty-six. These banks worked last year on an approximate capitalization of $1,700,000 and transacted a volume of business aggregating $2,000,000." "There are forty Negro insurance companies whose business last year amounted to $1,500,000. Perhaps the largest volume of business was done by an insurance company with headquarters in Durham, N. C. That company has $90,000 reserve fund and reported a surplus deposit of about $30,000 in different banks at the meeting held in December. "Our National League now keeps tab on about 25,000 places of business management by Negroes, including a hosiery mill, a cotton mill, a shirt factory, an oil mill, furniture stores, tanneries, lumber dealers dry goods stores shoe stores, hairdressers, groceries, etc., besides hundreds of farmers." "I am here to plan for the fourth annual meeting of the Alabama Negro Business League, composed of twenty-five local leagues, being a brand of the National League, which is composed of eleven teams." "We are expecting the largest meeting here in February ever held in the State." NEGRO DOCTORS PRAISED. DALLAS, TEX., Jan. 30.-The Negro Physicians of Dallas are being especially complimented for their heroic work in the recent epidemic of spinal meningitis. The white physicians had to call on them for a supply of serum and other medicines necessary in combating this disease. The quarantines of all the smaller towns have been raised and schools have reopened and times are normal again. Booker T. Wareham Gerts Rousing - Reception In New York—Speaks to Two Large Audiences scribal to THE HISTORY QUARTER AU. MONTCLAIR, N. J., Jan. 31—Dr. Booker, T. Washington was in the city Sunday evening, and everybody knew it. Two thousand five hundred persons of both races made an attempt to hear him and about three-fourths of the number succeeded. The Utharima Church, situated in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods and made up of a congregation of what is said to be the wealthiest and most intellectual in this section, was packed to the doors. For over an hour the speaker held his audience with characteristic simplicity as he gave a graphic description of the improvement of his people! Despite the fact that it was distinctly announced that Dr. Washington would not speak at St. Mark's M. E. Church until 9:30 o'clock, before 8 o'clock the pastor, the Rev. Frederick H. Butler, ordered the doors closed, and hundreds not only of Montclair but from Newark, Orange and other places could be entered, but an eager crowd of the seen here and many thoroughly representative of both the masses and the classes. Nearly every race, most of prominence in Essex County was not in hand, though many could not get in either church. The educator's speech at St. Mark's was received with interest, and when he declared that he was aware of the lynchings and of defiance and intended to combat, these evils on the ground where they existed the audience broke away from the conventionality of a Sunday evening gathering into tumultuous applause. At the conclusion of his address at St. Mark's Church in informal reception was tendered to Washington at the parsonage by the Rev. and Mrs. F. Butter. Among those to greet the doctor were Dr. W. R. G. Urling of Newark, Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Vanderbilt of Orange, W. R. Wiley of Dallas, Tex, the Rev. and Mrs. John C. Love, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Foster, Dr. H. J. Burnett, Mr. and Mrs. Jas Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dumma, Thomas Coleman, Freeman Egus, John Peterson, Thomas Jackson, E. Sylvester Jackson of Newark, J. G. Johnson Harvey Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Sadder, Wm. Carter of Providence R. I. Mrs. Carrie Garner, Miss L. G. Brown, Wm. S. Rice and the Rev. E. E. Jackson, pastor of St. Paul's Church. From the University Church to St. Mark's Dr. Washington, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Weirs, pastor of the Unitarian Church, Dr. H. J. Burnet and Wm. S. Rice, representing the officials of St. Mark's, were conveyed in the home touring church of St. Mark's. The move was to hear Dr. Washington Sunday evening than went to hear Dr. Woodrow Wilson here when he was running for Governor. DR. WASHINGTON IN MAINE Spenda Buay Day Delivering Addresses Discusses Race Problem Special to The New York Acn LEWISTON, M. Jan. 30.—Dr. Booker T. Washington, Principal of the Tuskegee Institute, spent last Friday in Maine and addressed two large meetings at Bowdoin College and Bates College. Arriving at Brunswick in the early afternoon, the Negro leader was met at the railroad station by Dean Stills of Bowdoin, and escorted to historic Memorial Hall. For an hour and a half Dr. Washington discussed the race problem to an audience which filled every available inch of space in the large auditorium. Immediately after his address at Brunswick, Dr. Washington left for Lewiston, where, the meeting, he sped under the auspices of Bates College at the First Congregational Church. Dr. Washington was introduced by President Chase of Bates, who paid glowtite to the work of the Tuskegee educator. The presence of the speaker at Lewiston attracted a large number of visitors from Bath and other nearby places. JUDGE I ERREILL RENDERS DECISION Special to THE NEW YORK ACE WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 30—The case which has attracted the widest notice and greatest interest of any that has ever come up to be heard in the Municipal Court of this city was that in which Judge Robert H. Terrell handed down the decision last Thursday involving the granting of transfers by one traction company good for passage over the lines of the other traction company in this city. In short, the plaintiffs in the case sought to secure universal transfers for which the public has been clamoring. Judge Terrell, in an able decision, decided that as the law now reads and enacted by Congress, does not contemplate universal transfers. The Judge's decision, although in opposition to the popular demand, has been accepted as just, and in strict accordance with the law. It is a matter of general comment that all of the cases involving the Municipal Court have involved, the most complicated points of law, and which are argued by the considered abstent lawyers, are heard by Judge Terrell. And it is a matter of general and favorable comment that his decisions are considered so eminently fair and just that it is very rare indeed that an appeal is taken to a higher court. Judge Terrell is the only judge of color, the other four being white. SEPARATE WAITING ROOMS IN BALTIMORE SEPARATE WAITING ROOMS IN BALTIMORE Important Conference Arranged Between Commune of Negro Citizens and Railroad Officials. Special to THE NEW YORK AIR BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 31. The placing of separate waiting rooms for Negroes in the Camden station of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has aroused the colored people of this city as they have not been stirred lately. The "Jim Crow" signs were placed in the station ten days ago, and the news spread like wildfire. Accounts of the latest act of discrimination appeared last Saturday in the Baltimore Times and the Afro-American Ledger. John T. Murphy, publisher of the Afro-American Ledger, wrote a vigorous letter to the railroad company complaining of the discrimination, and a conference has already been arranged by Mr. Murphy between leading men of the race in this city and the officials of the company, looking to an abrogation of the company's latest discriminating order. Ministers Protest. The pastors of various churches spoke out against the attempt of the road to "Jim Crow" the people of Baltimore. In their pulpits Sunday, and on Monday the Colored Baptist Ministers' Conference appointed a committee to draft a protest. In speaking of the matter Editor Murphy said: "The discrimination is without warrant of law and may please the gentlemen who will come from the South to attend the Democratic National Convention, but we intend to fight it. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad which has earned the public the country has offered legal support from the race. If the discontinuity is not done away those who have in charge the transportation arrangements for the several general conferences and conventions that are to be held this year should see that the company does not get their patronage.

PRICE, 5'CENT DIVINE REFUSED TO EAT ALL ALONE Causes Much Excitement on Steamer Prinz Frederick Wilhelm Officers of Steamer and White Passengers Finally Lift Color Line Ban on Negro PREACHES ELOQUENT SERMON Rev. Simon Crutcher, Missions to South Africa, Gives Address at Sea on "Lux of Christianity y. Refusing to have the color line drawn on him when it came to the serving of his meals, the Rev. Simon Crutcher, a missionary to the Zulu tribe in South Africa under the direction of the Gospel Workers of America, created quite a stir on the Prinz Frederick Wilhelm of the North German Lloyd line, which arrived in New York Tuesday. So emphatic was the colored minis- REV. SIMON CRUTCHER ter in his assertion that he would not be discriminated against at meals on account of his color, and so eloquent did he preach a sermon on "Lack of Christianity" that he not only convinced the officers of the steamer that he had a perfect right to be served at the same table with the other passengers, but so commanded the respect of the whites, who first objected to his presence at meals, that they finally withdrew their protests and sat with the Rev Mr. Crutcher at meal time. The Rev Mr. Crutcher has been abroad doing evangelistic work since October 1910. On January 21 he sailed from Bremen on the Prinz Fredrick Wilhelm on the United States and at the first two meals was assigned to tables with the other passengers. About the second day at sea he was surprised to find that he had been put at the end of a table a short distance from the other dining, and at the next meal he was assigned to a table all by himself. To receive such marked attention did not appeal to the colored minister, who had a special waiter whose duty was to serve him only. Noticing that places at several of the tables were unoccupied the Rev Mr. Crutcher inquired of the steward why he was seated at a table alone. He was informed that a number of the white passengers had objected to him eating at the same table with them. Contending that he was being discriminated against because he was a black man, demanding that separation he made by the North German Lloyd line by putting in the hands of Carl Orlopp, a banker of Dresden, $2,000 for the Zulu tribe, and delivering a sermon on the steamer about the unchristian-like spirit shown by the white christian in the house of christ by the steamer of the boat finally lifted the color line ban and the white passengers, even to the Southerners who were the most violent in their protests against eating with a Negro, consented to dine with him without causing further trouble.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 30—Republican headquarters for the National Convention delegates to Chicago have been opened at the Union Building with Robert Bradshaw in charge. Mr. Bradshaw is a candidate for election to membership in the convention on a ticket composed of himself. W. Calvert Chase, Dr. Charles H. Marshall and Dr. William Tindall the last two seeking election as alternate. Mr. Chase, a well-known colored lawyer of this vicinity and editor of the free was last at a national convention to delegate in 1900 when the gathering was held in Philadelphia and Milwaukee was nominated. M. M. Hewlett, a short colored justice of the peace, was on one occasion with him and there still a ticket in the field headed by the Justice Wilder, which threatens to be in position to any which enters into the field. The Chase and Wilder tickets have come out with strong statements for the nomination and for William Howard Jaft for the presidency and apparently are the only ones of a number in the light that they are raising support. It appears likely that Mattie Lomax will be hanging from baskets at the back of President Taft. The fifth prominent hanging of the woman will be considered at the capital within a few days. It has been argued that the woman should be pardoned for several reasons. First, that the trial justifies the jury that under the laws of the District the jury had power to render a qualified verdict, second, that the sentiment of the District and the country at large is against the hanging of the woman at the nation's capital, that the evidence did not warrant criminal punishment, that the convicted woman has not had a fair chance in the race of life, having received no education, to develop the finer instincts, fifth that Mattie Lomax is now in the last stages of consummation and at best has just a short time. More than five thousand persons have petitioned the Supreme Court that Mattie Lomax be spared. The first vocational and trade school for children who have reached the sixth grade of the elementary schools was opened as an elementary school for children it will be anticipated that this school will be more than doubled within five weeks. The trade school is located in the heart of the southwest section of Washington. It has been found that although only per cent of thecolored population lives in this section only about 10 per cent of this population ever reaches the high schools and only about one per cent ever goes to Normal School education. The trade schools are expected to keep a larger portion of this element as profitable educational employment. The Assistant Manager Training School is currently resigned her position Miss Mitchell will be married and take up her residence and vacation in Carroll. The death of Dr. John R. Major, proprietor of Major's drug store, calls to mind the fact that Dr. Major, before there were any colored drug stores in Washington, was the first white drugstore to offer to coloured trade at his soda water fountain. He for the most part was the developer of the colored people in this city, and his death is keenly regretted by them. Miss Annette Brooks, daughter of the Rev Walter H. Brooks of this city, and Louis Mitchell, a well-known vanderbilt comedian appearing in several old parts with Leisure Hali and the ensemble Bob Cole, were recently married in this city. The couple have taken up their residence in New York. Joseph Evans, son of Dr. Edward Evans, completed his college course at one of the large western universities. He has specialized in English and history. A few days ago it was claimed that the removal with Rehder T. Washington was attributed by several of his friends at the St. Louis Hotel, was perhaps the greatest in his history in so far as respects by colored persons were concerned or income of the strong political and educational significance of the informal gathering. A greater gathering in favor of the esteem in which Dr. Washington is held in these parties was the Metropolitan A. F. Church's evening of February 9 when the second will make the principal address of the evening before the Grand Judge and subordinate lodges of Master Masons of all affiliations within this institution. It has been announced that the permanent Masons from attending will attend in uniform and repaint. BILFFALO N Y. Begin correspondence of THE AGE. Buffalo, N.Y., Jan. 11.

Blackwood, who claims that he is 44 years old, applied for shelter from the cold at the Germantown Alms House last Tuesday. Superintendent Ransomler took pity on him and admitted him, saying he could stay there until spring, when he will resume his wanderings again. He is a unique character, was once a slave, and since emancipation has wandered all over the Old and New World. He is 6 feet 5 inches in height, weighs 240 pounds, and never tries telling interesting stories in which he has figured in his travels. He has not worn a shoe for 41 years, but makes his own sandals which he wears. Ingstead of plants he covers his limbs with baggage, which is sewed together, hanging in jolls around him, giving him a picturesque appearance. He has crossed the continental five times, been all through South Africa, region, central and South America and extended in the Holy Land and all the Egypts. The aged inmates of the institution crowd around him, and are very much absorbed in the interesting and thrilling tales he tells, which fall easily from Blackwood's lips. He is a prime favorite and even the superintendent, who is a veteran of the Civil War, can be seen in the afternoons listening with his big family to the tales told by this nomadic wanderer. The Fifth Anniversary Emancipation Proclamation Commission opened headquarters Monday night at 1352 Lombard street. At the same time a meeting was held and a committee appointed to make preparations for this event, which will take place in September, 1913, and for which the Legislature appropriated $20,000. The purpose of the exhibition is to show the industrial, educational and religious progress of the colored people of this State since 1865. The appropriation was secured through the efforts of Hon.

On another page we are printing dispatch from Hamilton, covering the lynching of four colored people. More lynchings have taken place in Georgia within recent months than in any other "State in the Union. In iact, all the other Southern States have very nearly puta check upon the barbarous habit of lynching except Georgia. / Thetime has came when the decent citizens of Georgia ought to be told in plain unvarnished language what the world thinks of a state that permits such atrocious crimes tu be commit- ted day after day in a so-called civi- lized commonwealth The first dispatch sent eut from Hamilton indicated that these four colored people were guilty of mur- dering a white iamily. The second dispatch gives the real trath and says. that three, if not all of these colored people were innocent. Among those lynched was a woman, There is something back of these stories in ntost cases. that docs not come out in the press. The case tt Hamilton illustrates this. A) white man was pursuing a good-looking col- ored girl He wanted to seduce ber. | and ‘she repulsed him.

To this noble man let us all show thanks and appreciation while he is yet with us, so that his declining years may be created by the knowledge that his high ideals and untiring efforts in our health have placed him forever in the hearts of his people.

BILL CHANGED TWICE A WEEK Grand Prize Masque and Chic Ball and Vanderville Show IN AID OF THE SICK AND DEATH FUND OF THE DO not consider this article a review of the stage performance given by The Frogs at the New Star Casino Monday evening; neither should it be regarded as the best and most accurate account of the evening's entertainment. I called upon to describe what went on behind the scenes it would be an easy matter for me to dip my pen in ink and write several columns on the subject; but Monday evening I found myself in a new and altogether strange position—that of being on the inside looking out, instead of on the outside looking in. I had originally planned to disregard Monday evening's performance from the viewpoint of a dramatic writer, and had exacted the promise from a critic one of the daily papers to write an article for THE ACA reviewing the show and giving his impressions of the actors—professional and amateur—which, of course, did not exclude anyone—not even myself. However, I received a program from the critic before the performance stating that he was unavoidably detained on business for his paper and would not be able to reach the New Star Casino until a late hour. It is therefore up to me to try and tell what happened before the footlights at The Frogs' stage performance, although I think I am more, eligible to discuss what did not happen. Before writing another jot, however, I want to make one suggestion, and that is that in the future regular theatres instead of halls be used to present pro- Premium of the Lime Kiln Club listening to the minutes of the last meeting. dresses arranged on so elaborate a sample as the performance prepared by The Frogs. In the first place, it is impossible to secure the lighting effects desired, and then the stage hands, however willing, are not capable of giving proper service, thereby causing stage build which are exasperating. Another reason why such a performance is arranged by The Frogs should be always produced at a regular theatre because when a playhouse advertises that a show will open promptly at 8.15 the playgoers make an effort to be on hand at the rise of the curtain. How different when you give a performance to a child? Take Monday evening for instance, although announcement was made that the show would start precisely at 10 o'clock before the seats were filled. In order to tell what transpired on the stage and behind the scenes it will be necessary for me to refer to myself quite often, which I hope will not be taken for a sign of aggravated egotism, according to the program, and from what I have been told. Part I consisted of a series of allegorical tableaux, the occidental music having been written by I. Reammond Johnson and verse by James W. Johnson. When Tableau I was being posed by Bobby Kemp and a bunch of youngsters I was so busily engaged helping the scene shifters, that I did not get an opportunity to even view the picture from the wings. The same condition of affairs prevailed when Tableau 2 was put on, posed by Frogs Johnson, McPherson, Marshall and Coakley. I recall having been pushed on a cotton bale in Tableau 3, and remember having seen Frog Shipp do a dancing turn. Being somewhat fatigued from stammering I did not have much difficulty posing as a living picture lying across a bale of cotton, and it was not necessary for me to move during the picture. Tobias 4 showed the Original Georgia Minneapolis, in which a reproduction of the minstrel first part of the first Neptune minstrel troop, composed of Billy Minnolds, Sam Lucas, Pete Devuainaire, Nick Little, Charles Cruseo, Bob Mack, Vulture King, Charles B. Hicks and their musicians. The tableau was, inspired by Capt. William H. Jackson, narrator; singers, Frogs Payne, Cousin, Sturks and McPherson, with end Frogs Kemp and Marshall. Arthur J. Payne sang "Silver Threads Among the Gold," and evidently pleased, judging from the applause I heard while in the dressing room, for I was putting on my makeup for "The Lime Kiln Club." The minstrel first part ended with a simple ditty. Tahiram 5 introduced echoes from both, and I understand that Mr. and Mrs. Arthur H. Payne rendered the vocal numbers. Tahiram Cwas productive of much appraisal, and was entitled "Food Memoir." The pictures of George W. Holler, Ernest Hogan, "Bob" Cole and Robert T. Motts were thrown in order around on a screen, while the orchestra played with each picture a song which the deceased member had made earlier or especially liked. This marked an end of the first part. The laughing hit of the evening was a presentation of the sketch, "The Bun Klum," adapted from the M. and Charles by Joseve A. Shipp. There M. M. "Bry, Peplock" denotes to the tune of "Where My Lost Lobster Diet." is much native humor in this piece, and the characters drawn are true to life. "The Lime Kibi Club" could either be presented with success in vaudeville, or enlarged on and constructed into a show. There is many a good, hearty laugh in "The Lime Kibi Club," and every one in the audience was put in the best of hmor. The chief fun-maker of the skit was Tom Brown as Givetoad Jones, while Bobby Kemp as the Rev. Penstock made the singing hit of the evening when he put over "Where My Forefathers Died." Matt Marshall as Col. January Sunbeam appeared as silver-tongued orator of the William Jennings Bryan type, and Alex Rogers as Brother Gardner was humorous as a presiding officer. A stately and stylishly-dressed dame did John E. Nail make as Mrs. Sarah Jane Skimmerhorn, while J. Rosamond Johnson, as Elder Toots, who sang "I Want to Go Back to Georgia." R. C. McPherson, as Pickles Smith, William H. Jackson as Samuel Shinn, W. L. E. Starks, as Secretary "Rev. Penstock" dancing to the turn Pullback, Arthur H. Payne, as Crosson Jones, Edward G. Conick, as Sir Issac Walpole, and Joe Grey, as Ebenezer Giles, helped to make the audience laugh. As for myself as Napoleon Shrewsbury, it is said that I was funniest in my make-up. I am unable to state what took place on the stage after the presentation of "The Lime Kill Club," as I was busy putting on my pink tights with much care and precision for the corps de ballet in "The Coryphee's Dream." My program furnishes the information, however, that several members of The Frogs produced a pantomimic sketch entitled "A Tragedy in Chinatown," assisted by Siren Nevarro and several youngsters made up as Chinese. While donning my ballet skirt, made of thin, porous goods which caused me to think of New Jersey mosquitoes at bed-time, I was encamped, along with the other Frogs in the dressing room, to learn that owing to the lateness of the hour, it being 11.30 o'clock, the full program would not be given, and that at the conclusion of "A Tragedy in Chinatown" an announcement would be made to that effect. As it had been advertised that an orchestra of forty-five pieces had been hired to furnish dance music, some of the members were of the opinion that the people would tire of looking at such a long program and would much perfer to dance. I do not think the action of The Frogs in summarily closing the program met with the approval of the majority present, for I have heard many express themselves that they would have been perfectly willing to witness the performance an hour longer. Many of The Frogs were greatly disappointed because the show was cut, as they were ambitious to shine in the parts and musical numbers assigned them. It has been several years since The Frogs were favored with good weather, and the conditions Monday evening reached the high water mark for inclementy. Throughout the day the hail fell, making it difficult for pedestrians to get about. The same state of affairs existed in the evening, and yet the New Star Casino was crowded with hundreds of women and men in evening clothes, who braved the elements to attend, the performance. A large number of visitors were on hand, and in every respect Monday evening's affair was the most successful of the winter season. As usual, the beautiful gowns worn by the members of the gentler sex provoked admiration, and the eyes of more than one man showed plainly that he was affected by such an extravagant display of female finery. An orchestra of forty-five pieces, under E. E. Thompson, served up dulce sounds for those desirous of dancing. The hall was especially decorated for the occasion, the colors of The Frogs, green and gold, being in evidence everywhere. The members of The Frogs are: Bert A. Williams, president; Lester A. Walton, first vice-president; James Reese Europe, second vice-president; Alex Rogera, treasurer; Edward G. Conick, recording secretary; John E. Nail, financial secretary; R. C. McPherson, corresponding secretary; Tom Brown, Jesse A. Shipp, J. Rosamond Johnson, Sam Corker, Jr., Henry Troy, Bobby Kemp, Sam Lucas, James E. Lightfoot, George L.

On the bill this week at the Auditorium Theatre, Philadelphia, are Baby Jim, the Dahomian Trio, Glen and Glen and Prof. J. W. S. Woods. Hunter and Chappelle played a return engagement at the Crescent Theatre last week and entertained in their songs, comedy and motion pictures.

Harry Brown, of Brown and Brown, writes that he is not the act that played at the Auditorium Theatre, Philadelphia, last week. Colored performers should be careful and not take the name of other acts, as it causes confusion. The bill at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre is unusual this week in that there are two colored acts on the bill: Miller and Lyle and Avery and Hart.

The Outenss—Joe and Edith—continue to score in their songs and comedy with the show. Louise Turner's female quartet is always a hit in the first part. Rose Going is a recent addition to the company and does a whistling and dancing skit. CRESCENT THEATRE Three colored acts were on the bill at the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week that had never been seen before in Harlem. Simms and Thompson scored in their comedy. The comedian of the team is a natural laughmaker, and the straight man presents a natty appearance in his clothes. Both have good singing voices. Simms, the comedian, is worth of some serious attention and is known to him to make his future a successful one before the footlights. The Jolly Henderson's should do more singing and less talking. The female member of the team has a very strong pair of singing pipes. By adding more songs and taking out some of the dialog the act would be improved upon. Mayweather and Brown also have an act marked by an ocean of unnecessary talk. They could do away with two-thirds of their dialog and it would make Mr. Mason deserves praise for the natural manner in which she appears in male attire. Manager Nibur has provided the Crescent Theatre with a new set of scenery, which greatly improves the appearance of the stage. THE WALKER THEATRE. of the Twentieth Century of the Ack. Kill two birds with one stone by naming the new theatre The Waker The Waker, that would be honoring George Walker, "the old master," and also Alda Walker, one of the cleverest women on the American stage. EMANUEL W. HOUSTOUN. New York City. THE SUPERIOR THEATRE. I suggest that one of the best and most appropriate names for the new theatre be built by the Johnson Amusement Company would be The Superior. My reasons are: The plain meaning of the word above, in place, position, rank and excellence, unappassed, and from my understanding superior expresses the desire or aim of the Johnson Amusement Company in building the theatre, compared of course with all show houses owned and operated by or for colored people. It reflects the board of directors consider The Superior Theatre. I am, you truly, F. H. CALDWELL, Atlanta, Ga. THE LINCOLN THEATRE To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: I see by your paper that you would like a name for the new colored theatre. I suggest The Lincoln Theatre, because if Lincoln had not freed the slave, he would not have any theatres or anything else. So as he has freed the Negro we have a chance to have things we desire. The Emancipation Proclamation issued on September 2, 1862, and decreed to take effect on January, 1862, by which slavery was at once and forever gone away with in the United States. This gave us the power to have churches, schools, stores, theatres and blindness of other enterprise. Yours very truly, To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: I noticed in one of the late issues your suggestion to the readers to encourage artists to be more beautiful built in New York City. I have noticed in almost every instance throughout the United States, particularly in the South, that the colored people have a fashion of naming almost every building they put up after some distinguished Negro or Abraham Lincoln. I thing such names as Douglas, Lincoln, Booker Washington, etc., are all right for industrial schools, colleges and hospitals, but for a theatre I think The Grand. The Royal or the Savoy sound so much more like business and more likely to attract the colored folks' attention as it is they who will patronize the house. You're respectfully. A. JEROME DOUGLASS. Atlantic City, N. J. THE NUBIAN THEATRE To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: I once saw Victor Hugo's play "Angelo," revived in Sarah Bernhardt's Theatre, Paris, in 1905, and looking over the nomenclature of the acts and actors I saw "Un Nubian," who came to us body guard or page to the "Ouasen," Sarah Bernhardt, and in superb uniform and accommodate by Russian bloodhound. This colored man looked every inch a fitting part of the scene to the greatest actress. There is certainly a great deal in the choice of a word—Hugo himself preferred the word "Nubian." Above all, do not commonplace. You can get a popular name. The word "Nubian" will do it. If you have had an actor as well known and famous as Edwin Booth or Tomasas Salvini—actors who would for a long time have been after him. This has been customary with the whites. Hence, in New York we have had Booth's Theatre and The Theatre "Tomasas Salvini" in Florence—but I think "Nubian" would sound more collective and generalize better. All Stars Still Winning Friday evening the All Stars won their twenty-first victory of the season by defeating the fast St. Michael's Crusaders by the score of 28-17.
