CAPERS MAKES BID FOR NEGRO "Lily White" Committeeman of South Carolina Issues Letter BIG FIGHT ON IN STATE Tolbert and Blalock Factions Involved in Bitter Fight to Nage Presidential Preference CAPERS SEEKS TO EXPLAIN Says "Lily Whites" are Formed to Protect Against G. O.P. in State Comitting Entirely of Negroes. Special to THE NEW YORK ACM. GRIELLE, S. C., Feb. 20.—In South Carolina a bitter fight is being waged between the Tolbert and Blalock factions for control of the state organization, the question of indorsing one of the many candidates for the nomination of President being at issue. John G. Capers, Republican National Committeeman from South Carolina, is behind the Blalock faction, known as the "Lily Whites," and despite the fact that he is known as an out-and-out "Lily White," yet he is appealing to the Negro voters of South Carolina for support. In his letter sent out to the Negro voters National Committeeman Capers tells why his faction is called "Lily White," declaring that it protests against the Republican party in South Carolina, consisting of all Negroes and against worthy colored men being imposed upon. Tolbert is charged with using the colored voters to promote his own interests, and it is cited that on the Tolbert state committee twenty-two members are Negroes and three white men. In speaking of county chairmen in the Tolbert organization, National Committeeman Capers says Tolbert is the only white chairman out of forty-three counties. National Committeeman Capers' letter: "The letter of Maj. Blalock as State Chairman issued on the 25th of Janu- arge urged the Republicans of the state to pay no attention to the call issued by what is claimed to be an Executive Committee of which J. W. Tolbert is recorded as Chairman and which seems to be moved in its actions by the three office holders, Postmaster Harris, United States Marshal Adams and District Attorney Cochran, who operate, no doubt, by orders directly from the Post Office Department in Washington, not from the White House. "The question as to who is to be nominated for President can only be decided by the congressional district conventions and by the state convention of the regular organization at its convention, which will probably be held some time in the month of April. "Therefore, It is the duty of all Repub-icans to use every proper means to upset the proposed Tolbert meeting on the 20th of this month, and to upset the absolutely ignoring it." The Tolbert is called "Lily White" because it protested against "Lily White" in the state being allied and protests against worthy colored men being imposed upon and fooled by those who want office or those who already draw good salaries. It would seem to appeal to reason, that an organization cannot stand even the national test made up as is the organization Tolbert and these three Federal Office holders are asking for their purposes. Think of it for a moment, of the twenty-five members of their state committee, twenty-two of them are colored men and three of them white men. Of the seven Congressional Districts in the state, six of the Congressional Chairmen are colored men and one white man, R. R. in the forty-three chairs in the State forty-three chairmen are colored men and one county chairman a white man, R. R. Tollert. "These statements I get from the hand book issued by their committee dated 1910, and the above statements are subject to any changes since of which I am not advised. Are the colored men in the state who really represent devilish interest in the Republican party in the Nation at large going to allow themselves to be held accountable in this way for the sole purpose of carrying on their shoulders a few white office holders headed for the pie counter? I think not. I hope you will urge every man in your county and district to ignore the Tobert call, wait for the call for a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Blakock organization, which has been reorganized by the National organization and which will meet in Chicago and call a convention for art, and also suspend any action booking to a country or district convention for the present for the same reasons." SSES/EXAMINATION New Orleans, La. Feb. 20—At the recent examination held by the Louisiana State Board of Pharmacy over fifty white applicants and one Negro took part. Twenty of the whites were successful, and the Negro, James R. Polkhorne, was also passed. Mr. Polkhorne is a junior student of Flint Medical College and his home is in Macher, Miss. The New York Age. FIGHT ON IN VIRGINIA Negroes Visit President Taft and Register Complaint Against Attempt of Committeesmen at Put Party Into Hands of "Lily Whites." Special to THE NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Negro Republican leaders from Norfolk and other parts of Virginia were on the war path in Washington last Saturday, threatening to do things to the "Lily White" leaders of that State. They went to the White House first and told their grievances to President Taft, who sent them to Representative McKinley, manager of the Tait campaign. Mr. McKinley promptly pulled out his oil can and began the work of quieting the troubled waters. "This business of making the Negro furnish all the votes and giving all the offices and positions of honor to the white men must stop," declared one of the visitors to the White House. "There are barely enough white Republicans around Norfolk and in other parts of Virginia to fill the Federal offices, and now it is proposed to send twenty-four white men to the Chicago national convention, ignoring the Negro altogether. It is getting so that even in the precinct meetings the Negroes are excluded altogether. Now, we don't propose to stand that. We are going to break over and make trouble, and if they do not give us a square deal we will send twenty-four Negro delegates to Chicago, or, at least, Negro delegates from all the congressional districts except the ninth." The complaint is not directed against President Taft, the leader said. He has treated the Negro all tight and is regarded as their friend. But they do not want him to give approval to anything like a strictly 'Lily White' affair in Virginia or elsewhere in the South, and they are sure he will not do so. The complaint is directed against the Republican leadership in Virginia, which is tending toward making the party there a white man's concern. There was a time when the colored Republican was at least allowed the joy and pleasure of "blowing off" and voting at precinct meetings, but now he is not sent for except on election day. The delegation was made up of Negro business and professional men. Among them were R. G. K. Paige, lawyer; W. H. C. Brown, lawyer; Dr. G. Jarvis Bowens, physician; C. S. Cartert, tailor, and E. M. Canaday, all of Norfolk; Thomas L. Jones and L. M. King, lawyers, of Washington, voting in Virginia. Almost the same fight is being made in other southern states, but in some instances the Administration recognizes the "Black and Tan" faction to the exclusion of the "Lily White" brand. Alvah Martin, the Republican National Committee of Virginia, lives in Norfolk. Bascum Slemp, the State Chairman, is the Congressional representative of the Ninth District. Both are charged with trying to eliminate the Negro from party affairs there. LINCOLN BARQUET AT GRAND RAPIDS Attended by Distinguished Americans Boston One of the Principal Speakers. Regular Correspondence of THE AOK GRAND RAPIDS, MICH., eb. 20—The twentieth annual Lincoln banquet of the Lincoln and Young Men's Republican Clubs of Grand Rapids was held here Monday evening, February 12, in the Coliseum. It is said have been the greatest Lincoln banquet in the history of these clubs. The banquet was attended by fifteen hundred Republicans, and every one was unanimous in the opinion that it was a great affair. Many famous men have been brought here as speakers before these clubs in the past, but never in the history of the clubs has there been a better balanced program or more enthusiasm aroused by speakers. Senator William Alden Smith, well known as a friend of the Negro, was toastmaster, and he had on his program as speakers the Minister from the Netherlands, Dr. Louden; Senator Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa; Congressman Caleb Powers from Kentucky, Dr. Booker T. Washington, Principal of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, and the leader of the Negro race, and Dr. John Wesley Hill of New York. All the speeches were brilliant, remarkable and fascinating, but none more so than that of Dr. Washington. Dr. Washington came to Grand Rapids with Senator Smith and his party from Washington, and was entertained while here in the elegant home of Mrs. M. R. Bissell in South College avenue. He attended the luncheon given at the Kent County Club by President Rouse of the Republican Club. His response to a toast was given a storm, of applause. Later in the afternoon the colored citizens of Grand Rapids tendered Dr. Washington a reception in the council chamber of the city hall, at which time he made a short but inspiring address. APPOINTS REPRESENTATIVES. TUSKEGEE, ALA., Feb. 20—The College of Bishops of the C. M. E. Church has arranged to send seven representatives, one from each diocese, to attend the International Conference on the Negro, to be held at Tuskegee Institute, April 17, 18, and 19. COLLEGIANS CLASH IN JAMAICAN CONTROVERSY CONTENDS COLOR IS NO BAR Gregory Tebb of Jamaican Conditions and Prison O'Connor DeCordova—Some Distinguished Blacks. J. M. Gregory, a native of Jamaica; who is attending the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, has become involved in the West Indian controversy by coming out in a statement that Thaddeus L. McDonald, a Jamaican, who is at Morgan College, Baltimore, and who maintains that there is a color line in Jamaica, is not familiar with conditions as they exist in that country. Mr. Gregory says: "My attention was called a few days ago to articles in Tue. Ace. on the Negro in the West Indies. As one interested and at the same time in a position to state facts, I crave your indulgence. I am a Jamaican, at the present time a student at the University of Michigan. I have lived in this country just over one year, the rest of my life having been spent in Jamaica, where for years I was in touch with many of the most prominent men of the island. "The subject is very unpleasant to me, it being the cause of so much trouble and unrest in this country especially, but after careful thought and long talks with other Jamaicans, students in this country, I feel it my duty to publicly take issue with Dr. McDonald relative to some of his statements. "In your issue of January 11, you published an interesting article from Mr. De Cordova. This must have created a bright spot in the hearts of all Negroes in America who read it, as they must have been glad to know that very near to them, men of their kind were being treated as men. I know this gentleman and bear witness that everything in his article is true." Natives Not Spoken of Negroes. "In your issue of January 25, you publish statements contradictory. Mr. McDonald from whom these came, at least misunderstood the definition Mr. De Cordova gave of Negro! In Jamaica, the natives are called by their names or spoken of as natives, and not as Negroes. There is no such thing as colored hotel, church or anything of that sort. Further, there is probably no civilized country that is not represented in the island and all live together and have all things in common. Those who have recently been trying to unscramble eggs would find separating the Negroes from other people the task of their lives. I take it that Mr. De Cordova did not think of the mulattoes as Mr. McDonald suggests, but of a country this would be called oured. The statement that those in high offices do not regard themselves as Negroes is true only to the extent that due to existing conditions as outlined there is probably no one who thinks of himself as Negro. The word is seldom if ever used to designate a man. "That to be nearly white is an essential requirement for prosperity in Jamaica is, to use an expression not long ago used in the British Parliament, a frigid, calculated, terminological inexactitude. The suggestion has been made by another Jamaican that Mr. McDonald had his troubles at home, and failed to see that his condition did not indicate the general state. If, however, he is honest in his statements, then he is sadly wrong, for if he will but think of the different professions and official appointments of the people, it will not be it, that he left home when a child and is ignorant of the true state of affairs, getting his information from newspapers or so. Technical errors in this article make me think this is the fact. For example, he speaks of the Hon. S. A. G. Cox. That gentleman, has not the Honorable. Again, there is absolutely nothing to show that Mr. Gox is being opposed because he is championing the cause of the less fortunate. There are a number of able men, white and colored, who have been and still are doing their utmost for the community at large, and meet with encouragement and help from all sources. Mr. Cox's principles have never been opposed, but blacks have disagreed, and some of his methods. "Mr. McDonald goes on to say Jamaicans come to this country and boast of superior advantages at home, Why? Do they, go to Cuba or Haiti and do likewise? What need would Mr. De Cordova (a white and independent man) have to join this boasting gang? Any thoughtful person must see some facts behind it all. The peacock is not proud because he thinks pride will help him, but because he has something to be proud of. His feathers are enviable and envied. Jamaicans have no combine; they are not agreed on any plan of campaign. How then could scores and hundreds come from time to time and tell the same tale if it were not true? That the natives from the fairest to the blackest are prominent in all walks of life is absolutely true. The lawyer who acted as leading counsel for the English insurance companies when they fought cases arising from so-called earthquake fires, himself now 'K. C.' and was said by Mr. Chas. Dickens, one of the most prominent K. C.'s of England to be an ornament to the Jamaica bar, is by means a fair man. The present members of the Legislative Council for Kingston, St. James, Westmoreland, recent members for St. Andrews, Trelawny, St. Elizabeth and others, some of the most prominent members of the clergy, including the moderator of a Protestant synod, and men who are or have been presidents of the island's Baptist denomination Christian Endeavor Societies, district medical officers, including one who recently acted as superintending medical officer for the island, master of the colleges, high and technical schools, customs and other government officials are dark men, with no redeeming feature but what is open to all-sterling character and proper education. "It would be impossible to put up signs in Jamaica intending to check the progress of the Negro in any way. Segregation of the races is unknown and justice is as much a matter of course between, white and black as between two of a kind. There, if anywhere, the littest survive, for when the white man proves himself better than the black man, he can bask in the sunshine of popular preference, and then only. "The last two elections in Kingston for the Legislature proved this conclusively and they were no exception. The same candidates ran on both occasions. The first time the white man who had proven himself in the City Council was elected. While he served and he served well—the dark had opportunities to show his worth, and won at wells at the next election. "Public welfare indeed and strong. I feel safe in saying that that would a candidate for election, whatever be his race, he so indiscreet as to speak of his or his rival's color, he would be politically dead, beyond the hope of a resurrection. "When one contrasts facts like these, and others too great to be enumerated, with conditions existing in America, he cannot fail to see that anyone who says the two are one and the same, is not alone frivolous and uninformed, but wicked. But the proof of the pie is the partaking of it, and, like Mr. De Cordova, I would advise any one in doubt to visit the islands and see for himself whether it be "all chalk or cheese to chalk." MAY GO TO ST. LOUIS Rumor Has It that Dr. Brooks Will Become Pastor of Union Memorial Church in April—No Definite Decision Reached. Since announcement was made in last week's issue of THE AGE that Dr. William H. Brooks had tendered his resignation as pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, owing to ill health, he has received many communications from quite a number of congregations asking him to accept a call to other cities. It is said that Dr. Brooks is seriously thinking of going to St. Louis. According to reports Dr. Brooks has been petitioned by the members of Union Memorial Church to come to St. Louis, and it is said that he prefers the Mound City call to all others. However, no definite decision has been reached. Union Memorial Church is one of the largest in St. Louis, and the congregation has an imposing structure in Lawton avenue. LINGUIST WANTS WORK Special to THE NEW YORK AGR COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 20—W. L. Reid, a colored man who was born in Germany, educated in Germany and Rome, and who speaks twenty-one languages, called on Mayor Karb last week and made application for a position in the city service. He said he had been in a hospital for two years and is just now sufficiently recovered to take up steady employment. Reid commenced his conversation with the Mayor in German and switched to Italian. He finally stumped the Mayor on French, and later, in the outside office, engaged in conversation in Spanish with a man who knew something of that language. He told the Mayor he was willing to accept any kind of employment and he came well recommended. Reid is a typical Negro in Tools and actions. He was born in Munich, Bavaria, in 1866. He is also a nephew of Fred Douglass, who became famous during the war to free the slaves and who was for many years recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia. HACKLEY RECITAL AT HUSTON.

No definite action was taken on his plea. Bishop A. Albert Johnson and W. H. Heard presented the needs of the work in South and West Africa, respectively. An Appeal from Indianapolis The Allen Christian Endeavor Union, of Indianapolis, sent an appeal to the prelates that they speak out against the discriminations that the Negro suffers in many States, which read: "We appeal to you as our sages in the great cause of human rights to make an appeal to bring pressure upon the various States to enforce the laws upon the constitution of the United States that protect our rights as citizens." The prelates adopted the following resolution of sympathy with the spirit of the appeal: "The bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church assembled in council, having heard the appeal from the Allen Christian Endeavor Union of Indianapolis, take this opportunity to express their sympathy with the expressions therein, and beg to assure all concerned that we are most vigorously engaged to the extent of our ability and opportunity in the furthering of every means looking to the removal of these and all other, discriminating and humiliating disabilities under which we have been forced to live and labor."

TRUE REFORMERS MELT Members Pledge Loyal Support at Maine Meeting at Richmond—Many People Borrowed Out of Order Because of Treatment of Former Grand Master Helmes. Special to The New York Agr. RICHMOND, VA., Feb. 20.—The untimely taking off of W. R. Griffin, head of the organization of True Reformers, does not mean that the work of rehabilitation begun by him shall in any wise cease. Vice-Grand Master Ross, who succeeds the late Grand Master Griffin, has taken up the work where Griffin left off, and with the hearty cooperation of J. Frank Douglass, secretary, and Dr. W. H. Smith, treasurer, the work will be pushed forward as indefatigably as ever. A big mass meeting of Richmond Reformers was held in the Second street hall of the organization last Monday night, at which time Grand Master Ross made his initial bow to the people of Richmond as head of the organization. Mr. Ross promised, in a strong speech to work unceasingly in his efforts to carry out the mission. Speeches were made by the Rev. A.S. Thomas, Mrs. Rosa Thompson, Mrs. V. H. Giles and others pledging their support to Grand Master Ross. There were hundreds of True Reformers in Richmond who dropped out of the organization last fall because they were dissatisfied with the removal of A. W. Holmes as Grand Master. They believe that the pitties responsible for the crippling of the once great organization, wrecking its bank and auxiliary departments, should be punished, are not of the opinion that Holmes was in any way responsible for the misfortune which befell the institution. These people wish to see Holmes again at the head of the organization and many of them have, since Griffin's death, approached Holmes with a view of having him get into the running for Grand Master next fall. These members argue that Holmes had been at the head of the organization but six weeks when the bank failed, and that he was in no way responsible for the failure, as he had not been in office long enough to familiarize himself with the work of the bank, its resources and liabilities. The indictment found against Mr. Holmes several months ago by the grand jury in the Hustings Court of Richmond was due to the activity of the late Grand Master Griffin in trying to have brought to justice those whom he thought responsible for the collapse of the institution. They claim that after the death of that dragged and rigid examinations of hundreds of witnesses by the grand jury the only evidence against Holmes was that as president of the bank he had allowed deposits to be received when the bank was insolvent. Mr. Holmes, when asked by THE ACE correspondent what would be his attitude in view of the suggested course of his friends, said, that under no circumstances would he ever be a candidate for any office within the gift of the True Reformers; yet he does desire, when the cloud of suspicion which some have have been cleared away, to start out into business and prove by his conduct of affairs that he has been wrongfully judged by those who have fought him. ORDER OF ST. LUKE Executive Board of Order Holds Semi- annual Meeting at Richmond—Report of Mrs. Maggie Walker-$23. 332.50 Paid Out in Death Claims. Special to THE NEW YORK AQR RICHMOND, VA., Feb. 20.—The semiannual meeting of the Executive Board of the Independent Order of St. Luke was held at the organization's headquarters Friday and Saturday of last week. There were present all the members of the board, which included representatives from Virginia, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, West Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia.

In Evidence at Manhattan Casino, and Murray Hill Lyceum. Thursday evening, February 15, will be long remembered by the amusement lovers of New York City, for on that evening the record was broken for the number of large entertainments given on one date. King Pleasure reigned supreme, and several thousand colored citizens turned out on this memorable evening and took part in the carnival of mirth. Aside from a number of small entertainments that had not been given much publicity, five dances were given. The five largest affairs Thursday evening were the Pre-Lenten recital and assembly given at Palm Garden, the masquerade ball and midnight vaudeville Benevolent Association at Manhattan Casino, the ball of the Chimens' Beneficial League at the New Star Casino, the ball of the Monarch Lodge at Murray Hill Lyceum, and the dance of the Idle Hour Club at Lemos Lyceum. Every colored musician in Greater New York was put into service, and said that the amount of money given by the colored people for amusement was the highest history of Manhattan. All were well attended, although the exception of the Pre-Lenten assembly the various organizations under whose auspices the dances were given suffered somewhat, by reason of competition. A noticeable feature at two of the halls was the presence of the large number of white dancers. At forty Hill Lyceum where the Elite was being forth almost half of the audience was white. At the Manhattan Center so many white couples appeared in the floor during the early part of the evening that the detective in charge of the plain clothes men wanted to know of the management of the Caine if the ball was given by colored or white. Just how the five organizations and conflicting dates has not been explained, but the chances are that it will be a long time before so many entertainments will be given again on one evening.

Washington, D.C., Feb. 21.—Major John L Lynch, a retired paymaster of the United States Army, has been sued in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, for $5,800, which his former wife, Mrs. Ella W. Dunham, alleges that she transferred to him in trust at the time of their marriage in 1884. Mrs. Dunham avers that the property in question was her heyed and her daughter, Miss Lynch. She further alleges a breach of trust and asks the return of her property. Mr. Lynch was married again last August to Miss Cora E. Williams of Chicago. He was at one time a Congressman from Mississippi, and was an influential factor in the politics of that state.

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to The New York Age. Gov. Judson Harmon of Ohio, who may be the Democratic candidate for President, is sixty-six years old and as steady as Gov. Woodrow Wilson is shaky on his political legs. --- Daylight robberies and other forms of lawlessness are becoming as common in New York City as they have been in Chicago. White and black crooks are alike in the offending. Senator La Follette, cast down but not dismayed, says he will be a candidate until the matter is settled by the Chicago convention in June. Cassabianca did the same thing and prent down with the ship. Madame Sarah Bernhardt, the French irreproachable, will, next fall, do vaudeville forty weeks in this country on the Orpheum circuit, and receive $7,000 a week, or $280,000 for the forty, with twelve performances a week. It looks as if "the divine Sarah" will never get old enough to retire. --- The Daughters of the Revolution and the Daughters of the Confederacy are not to have it all their way any longer, as the Daughters of the Union have been incorporated at Albany. There are no Negro members of the two first organizations, we believe, but the Daughters of the Union, we think, will not bar them out. We shall see. --- The Hungarians of New York are after Gov. Woodrow Wilson with a bishop because of some hard things he said of them as immigrants in one of his books. It is difficult for a public man nowadays to open his mouth or keep it shut on any public question without making trouble at a time when he least expects or desires it. Bishop John M. Walden of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who has taken a prominent interest in Negro education and after whom a college named at Nashville, is 81 years old. He has been in the ministry sixty years, and delivered his ten thousand vemon at Cincinnati, Sunday, February 11. He is still strong in the faith which he has done so much to plant in the hearts of the people. Shice he cut himself with a regular razor, while shaving his Romanesque face Gov. Wilson has received many safety razors from admiring friends; but the Negro sport who announced that a safety razor was no good at a social function, now announces that Gov. Wilson cannot cut his way to the White House with any sort of razor. "Aunt" Harriet Tubman, who was an unbrokeveted "General" during the Civil War and gets a pension of $20 a month, has also been getting $25 a month from the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, has earned all the money she is getting, and should have $50 a month more. In the days that tried men's souls Aunt Harriet Tubman did the work of many men, who could not do the same sort of work for themselves; and now, in her old age, the men, 10,000,000 of those who profited by her labors and mistresses and heroism, should see to that they do for her even as she did for them. President Taft said, in New York, "We know what we propose to do; we offer a definite programme; show definite results, and we believe that these results are what the people want. We do not hesitate to ask for their support." And the Democrats they know, they offer, nothing. The head of Mr. Tatt standing up and gazing back at the coaches and carpers in the past, calling a spade a spade and dis- belief in no good harder name than "neu- phalism" in his history to the great boss of England who have seen him turn the other shoe and only peacefully when a boss of England would have become him better, now seen how superior has been him since he guarded the strife- less, and how personally and worldly have been the coaches and carpers against him. We are so do have the Sow and the Troubles. PRESIDENT TAPT DEFIES HIS INMEMIER In his Lincoln Day address, at the Republican Club in New York, President Taft swatted his enemies and detractors with a mighty swat. His proverbial good nature was all over his big face and ran riot in his mustache, but the swat was in his words, which rang loud and clear, and showed that he is on the political firing line in earnest. He defined the situation as follows: Men praise Lincoln to-day and attack the Republican party, although forgetful of the fact that in Lincoln's life the man and the party were so closely united in aim and accomplishment that the history of the one is the history of the other. The truth is that the biography of the post fifty years, with one or two exceptions, has the history of the Republican party. The progress that has been made has been made by the Republican party in the legislative and executive power intrusted to it by the people at large. There are those who look upon the present situation as one full of evil and corruption and as a tyranny of concentrated wealth and who in apparent despair at any ordinary remedy are seeking to pull down those things which have been regarded as the pillars of the temple of freedom and representative government, and to resuscitate the state of the nation, not definitely formulated and with no intelligent or intelligible forecast of the exact constitutional and statutory results to be attained. With the effort to make the selection of candidates, the enactment of legislation and the decision of courts to depend on the monetary passions of a people necessarily indifferently informed as to the issues presented, and without the opportunity to them for time and study and that deliberation that gives security and common sense to the Government of the people, such extremists would burry us into a condition which could find no parallel except in the French Revolution or in that bubbling anarchy that once characterized the South American republics. Such extremists are not progressive they are political emotionalists or neurotics, who have lost that sense of proportion, that clear and candid consideration of their own weaknesses as a whole and that clear perception of the necessity for checks upon hasty popular action which made our people who fought the Revolution and who drafted the Federal Constitution, the greatest self governing people that the world ever knew. "Political emotionalists or neurotists" strikes home. And what the nation needs is to save itself from the "emotionalist" or neurotizes" both in the Republican party, where they do not belong, and in the Democratic party, where they do belong, and where they are always seeking after some new thing in government and forgetting old thing, closing phantoms always, with the methods of the catch-as-catch can wrestlers, with no well-defined policy, in the hope to snatch victory from the old stagers who know what they want, as Gen. Grant did and persistently go after it, and get it. As to the man and the dollar President Tait said: It has been said, and it is a common platform expression, that it is well to prefer the man above the dollar, as if the preservation of property rights had some other purpose than the assistance to and the uplifting of human rights. Private property was not established in order to gratify love of some material wealth or capital. It was established as an instrumentality in the progress of civilization and the uplifting of man, and it is equality of opportunity that private property promotes by assuring to man the results of his own labor, thrift and self-restraint. When therefore the demagogue mounts the platform and angrasses that he prefers the man above the dollar he ought to be interrogated as to what he means thereby whether he is in favor of abolishing the right of the institution of private property and of taking away from the poor man the opportunity to become wealthy by the use of the additions that God has given him, the cultivation of the virtues with which practice of self-restraint and the exercise of moral courage will fortify him. There would be no dollar if there were no man, and where the man has no protection of statute law and public opinion, as in the Southern states, the man and the dollar alike will fail to respond to the demands of the nation, in any time of trouble, as they should, and the lawless spirit of the South is worming his way, as a serpent, through all of the Republic. TWO A. M. E. BISHOPS In a recent issue of the Southern Christian Recorder an article appears appealing for charitable judgment and treatment with regard to Bishop W. H. Heard, elected to do the work in West Africa assigned him by the last General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop A. Albert Johnson has returned from South Africa full of enthusiasm and well laden with honors won in the field of Christian activity. No apology seems necessary to be made for Bishop Johnson, but Bishop Heard, who was elected at the same time, seems to have put his work behind him in Africa, and to have returned to America under circumstances which at least challenge inquiry as to the wisdom which has prompted him to drop his work in Africa and spend the greater portion of his time in America. He has been in America now more than a year. We congratulate Bishop Johnson upon the fine reports we continue to hear as to the splendid work started by him and carried on in South Africa. We can only see that it is not possible for us to mention to equally satisfactorily by Bishop Heard. DR. BROOKS GOOD WORKS In The Age of last week we announced the retirement of the Rev. William H. Brooks, D.D., from the pastorate of St. Mark's M. E. Church, after a continuous service of fifteen years. There are some unusual features about the retirement, so at variance with the retirement of Negro pastors as to attract attention, as being indicative of a new order of things and savoring but little of the former or old things, which have passed away, and, we hope, not to come back any more. Here are some of the unusual features: Dr. Brooks was not requested to resign from the pastorate; on the contrary, his people have discouraged him from giving up his good work with them, in spite of the unsatisfactory condition of his health, which is of long standing. During his pastorate of fifteen years, which is an unusual length of service in the Methodist Episcopal Church, St. Mark's, instead of growing weaker, has grown stronger in membership, in spirituality and in materiality. Instead of wars and rumors of wars between the membership and the pastor there have been the closest sympathy and helpfulness. Outside of purely church work, Dr. Brooks has taken an active and helpful part in all movements for the betterment of conditions for the Negro people of New York, and had the sympathy and co-operation of his church membership in doing so. Dr. Brooks has not taken an active part in partisan politics, but he has at no time hesitated to pronounce strongly in pulpits and public platforms, against political and other abuses. THE AGE hopes for Dr. Brooks' speedy restoration of health and a continuation of the good works which have characterized his labors in New York and which have endeared him to the people, regardless of sectarian denominationalisms. THE LEARNED DEGREE PUN- DIT In times past The Asa has condemned the disposition of Negroes to walk up to the legged degree storehouse and take any of the titles and degrees they found lying about loosely and using them in their business or profession or vocation as their interests or fancy inclined them, steaming the appropriateness and properties of things with a fine scorn, scornful. We have professors of everything and of nothing, learned and unlearned, so that the learned degrees among us have become a reproach and rebuke, even to those who have secured them from reputable institutions by their good works, in scholarship or their specialization. In a Sunday talk to the students of Tuskegee Institute, recently, as reported for the Tuskegee Student, "On Being Simple," Dr. Booker T. Washington said, among other things. Students who go out from this institution may also exert their influence in helping our people to get rid of the habit of having so many titles, so many meanings and worthless degrees. You can scarcely meet in the street, or anywhere else, a minister unless he is called a Doctor of Divinity. Some of them can scarcely read or write, some of them cannot read or write a simple English sentence, yet they parade themselves about as Doctors of Divinity. Worse than that, some call themselves Doctors of Law. We want everywhere to exert our influence to get rid of all that sham. The fact is we have run wild, in many cases, in this degree business, and many people who have been to lazy to get genuine education, have sought to cover up their ignorance and their vulgarity by passing after their names a lot of letters A, B, A, M, D, D, L, L, D, etc. Why I have actually received letters from persons all of whom are not named after their names. Whenever a person gets a letter with all those titles after the signature, he makes up his mind if he does not express it he makes up his mind that this is a letter, not from an educated person, but from an ignorant person, a vulgar person, lacking in culture, a person lacking in real, genuine taste. This is all very true, but it is impossible, at this stage of the race's development, to make men see that a learned degree, or title of honor, which does not belong to them, and which they cannot sustain, when called upon to do so, by scholarship or good works in special fields of achievements, makes them look and act cheaply in the eyes of those whose good opinion they value, and really seek by parading such degrees to obtain. The world is very critical. It demands a reason for everything and will not be satisfied with evasion. If people are not what they claim to be, if they are shams, masquerading as aliases in borrowed plumage, of degrees in scholarship or distinction in good works, the fraud will be discovered; they themselves will give themselves away. We are growing away from the degree and title abuse with the years, as we grow in matured scholarship and material achievement, and shall not, after awhile, value the gewgaws which are as paste stones to real diamonds in the world of achievement, of character, of worth. If you don't see what you want, politically, ask for it; if it belongs to you take it; if any object to your doing so, fight. TRAGGER OF SOUTH CITERNE SHIP IN SOUTH CAROLINA Mr. Aaron P. Priolean of the First Congressional District of South Carolina, represents a tragedy—the tragedy of the Negro citizenship of South Carolina, which the Negroes of South Carolina sold for a small mess of money and a high old time, from 1868 to 1876, just eight years of riotous misrule, to which their educated leaders lent themselves at Columbia. We do not name those men, most of them dead, most of them a stench in the nostrils of reconstruction history, of whom Robert Browne Elliott, who died a pauter in New Orleans, was the most intelligent and eloquent and the most infamous. They had the Negro citizenship of South Carolina and the future of it in their keeping, and they threw it away for the price of fast living. Mr. Priolean, whom we met in Washington some ten years ago, has stood for election to Congress for the First South Carolina District five times. In four previous contests he had a Republican Elections Committee of the House to deal with; the contest was decided against him each time, but he was allowed his expenses by the House, which in eight years aggregated $7,500. This does not average quite $1,000 a year for the eight, but it appears to have been enough to keep Mr. Priolean's corn pone buttered and his election ballots paid for, and for keeping alive the fact that there was one Negro in South Carolina, in the South, who had the courage to stand for election to Congress and to contest the case in the House of Representatives as often as he was defraed, in that way seeking "to keep the jewel of liberty in the family of freedom," as President Lincoln suggested to Gov. Hahn of Louisiana, March 13, 1864. In his fifth contest, now pending, a news dispatch from Washington says Mr Priolean's case will not only be thrown out by the Democrats of the House of Representatives, but that he will not be allowed any expenses of contest usual in such cases. It is in the nature of the eternal fitness of Democratic cussedness that the Democrats of the House should have the final word as to the death of the Negro Citizenship of South Carolina, in the House of Representatives, where it was born, out of the agonies of a great war, in which the Democrats contended for the perpetual enslavement and disfranchisement of the Negro people. It will not be a happy day for the Negro citizens of the country when the Democratic party shall control the Presidency and both Houses of Congress. --- When our friends the West Indians residing temporarily or permanently in the United States get through telling us about themselves and their beautiful island home, and the good people who live there, we also shall know all about them. There is much interest in the West Indian debate running in Tulsa, No. Make no mistake about that. Strange things happened in names and politics. At the Republican State convention, which met at Atlanta, Ga., Thursday, February 15, the steam roller crushed the Roosevelt delegates and sentiment to desolation and a solid delegation of twenty-six was elected for President Taft. The four delegates at large are Henry Lincoln Johnson, C. P. Gore Henry S. Jackson and Benjamin Jefferson Davis. Mr Henry Lincoln Johnson dominated the convention the first time a Negro has done this. --- The New York Sun says "There are no national legal holidays; they are authorized by the states, and there are too many of them. Lincoln's birthday is a legal holiday in only twenty-one states. New York included; and it is not a holiday in any Southern state, unless we force West Virginia into that classification. In Indiana, where Lincoln lived a short time, it is a holiday, but in Kentucky where he was born and in Illinois, which he immortalized and where he is buried at Springfield, it is not There are said to be some 45,000 Americans in Mexico, interested in and representing millions of American money invested in Mexican enterprises, so that the continued disordered condition of that country's government, since the forced abdication of President Diaz, is giving the United States Government a great deal of concern. If our government should have to intervene in Mexican affairs, to protect American and European interests, and it is not improbable, other nations might be drawn into the situation, and a more or less dangerous war follow. Continental America may yet embrace all the parts of it, under one government, as the only way out of the domestic upheavals which affect its small states and keep the larger states in more or less hot water. Mexico will long miss the great mind and strong arm of, Porfirio Díaz. THE RIGHTS OF NEGRO AND JEW. In a statement dated at London, Mr. William Morgan Shuster, former treasurer-general of Persia, charges Great Britain and Russia with strangling the life out of one of the oldest nations in history, "which always turned back the legions of Rome." This is a grave charge to lodge against any nation, and lest Great Britain and Russia, comfort themselves for what they have done to safeguard their possessions and interests in lands beyond their own fixed metes and bounds, Mr. Shuster, unconsciously speaking as one of the old prophets of the Jewish race, to which he belongs, may have spoken, says: Statemen may be proud of their work: I believe that no one else is. The judgment of European diplomacy grinds out another national life and passes out. He who is shocked or protests is a sentimentalist, and he who dares to help such a people is tactless and indirect. The veins of another weaker Power have been opened that her life blood may feed the lust of politics and greed. Governments, however, have no souls and there is no reribution in sight; he who commits a moral crime still is a criminal doer of tribunal competent to sit in judgment and inflict the penalty, and Governmental crimes acquired in by a people leave their mark for all time on the moral abre of the nation as they do on the character of an individual who transgresses the moral laws. The long list of crimes of every day's perpetration, which has dogged the civil, political and material rights of the Negro, in the Southern states especially, since Lee surrendered to Grant, and which is doing so, and which our Federal Government has acquiesced in, and does acquiesce incomes within the scope of Mr. Shuster's characterization and anathema. The condition of the Negro and Jew among the Gentile races of Japhet, in Europe and America and the Australians, is so anthagous, so alike in all of its phases, that we are bound to regard it as being by design rather than by adventition; as the condition is the same as that which the Negroes of Africa and the Jews of Asia sustained towards the Gentiles, whom they despised and enslaved from the blood to the beginning of the Christian era. The Negro will make his place in the United States as the Jew has made his in Europe and America. On all sides he is bending to the task like a man should who is determined to stand upon his own foundation, and not upon the foundation of others. Since the war he has made himself a home; he has built himself schoolhouses and churches, and now he is building himself banks and stores and apartment houses; so that now he cannot be restrained from doing whatsoever others do, and the law allows, to possess to the full his inheritance in American civilization and which is his equally with others. When the United States takes its feet off the neck of the Negro, when Great Britain takes its feet off the neck of the East Indian, and when Russia takes its feet off the neck of the Jew, they will all have "a new birth of freedom." Our healthy little contemporary, the Southern Missioner, published by the St Paul School, at Lawrenceville, Va., favors the state-wide proposition which is being discussed in Virginia and says, as a clincher, "We kill a serpent because of its poisonous bite. Let us kill the whiskey traffic for the same reason." Noah was the first and last the second drunkard of record after the flood, of the new race, of which we are all over-spread, and what happened to them has been happening ever since to those who "look upon the wine when it is red, when it gives its color in the cup," but they learn no good lesson from it, as more liquors are drunk to-day than ever before in the history of the world. The third term Rubicon as brought down to date, in editorial outgiving of The Outlook, of which Col. Roosevelt is one of the editors, last week, is simplicity's own. Here it is. If a man serve eight years as President and declines a third term, after sleeping outside the White House four years, he is eligible, as a new man fresh, to serve four or eight years more, if there is a demand for his services. Just what George Washington, who established the third term Rubicon, would say to that, is one of those speculations which The Outlook nor Col. Roosevelt is bound to monkey with at this time and under the circumstances, which are much like those that confronted Caesar when the die was cast. --- Bex Withrew Writing Biography Rev. Chaucoucy L. Witrow is writing the biography of Rev. Daniel Brooks, who was for forty years a preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and sixteen years a presiding elder. Rev. Brooks was the son of John Donahue, who was born in Tuxewell County, Va., 1800. He died at the age of 88. He was a member of the M. E. Church, and an uncle of Rev. C. I. Church, who dared him to work with Methodism than a century. He is a polished Christian gentleman and a pulpit orator. In 1986 he interceded the ministers and officials of Richmond and elsewhere, to the need of an institution for the dead, dumb and blind for colored people, which since them has been established. MEGBO PROGRESS IN 1911 The following are excerpts from the Negro Year Book, now in press, which recently appeared in the Chicago Record Herald. The facts and figures were compiled by Monroe N. Word, who is in charge of research and records at Tuskegee Institute. From time to time during the year the census bureau has issued interesting information concerning the Negro. The Negro population in the United States is 8,749,390 or 89.1 per cent of the Negro population live in the South and 1,078,904, or 10.9 per cent, outside of the South. The census reports show that Negroes are not going to be as rapidly as whites. The white population of cities during the last ten years increased 46.6 per cent, and the Negro population 30.5 per cent. The most interesting thing that the census reported during the year concerning the Negro was that Negroes than twice the rate of the whites. From 1900 to 1910 the number of white farmers in the country increased 9 per cent, and the number of Negro farmers 9 per cent, and the number of white farmers 9 per cent, and the number of Negro farmers there were 767,764 colored farmers. In 1810 there were 817,465 such farmers. The problem of farm labor in the South has occupied a considerable amount of attention during the year, particularly when the census report showed that in many parts of the black South, the number of plantations be cut up and sold in small tracts to farmers. It was also suggested that emigration be secured from the North and from Europe. Dr. Booker T. Washington called attention to the importance of landlords and others providing good, comfortable homes for their tenants, comfortable jobs for their tenants, good churches and making life in the rural districts safe. Negroes during the year made gains in the filed of organized labor. At the 1910 annual meeting of the National Council of the American Federation of Negroes, the group passed inviting Negroes and all other races into the labor federation. The officers of the federation were instructed to take measures to see that Negro workmen, as well as workmen of other races, were included in the federation. Following out this policy, steps have been taken to unionize the Negroes working in the Pittsburgh district. At New Orleans in October the Negro longshoremen were admitted to the Negroes' union. Among the 4,000 conductors that recently attended the annual meeting of the National Railway Conductors of America at Jacksonville, Fla., there were 16 Negroes. At the eighteenth convention of Letter Carriers, which met at Robeson, N.Y., fifteen Negro delegates were present. That the Negro made progress in 1911 was indicated by the constantly recurring reports in Negro newspapers and in various cities. A report on Buffalo Negroes was headed, "Good for Buffalo, Hundreds of Negroes Own Their Own Homes, Colored Men Have Made Their Own Homes," and "One Real Estate Dealer Is Called an Expert Progress All Along the Line." In this report it was stated that among the colored men who are members of the Negro community, W. Crowsey, an important member of the editorial staff of the Buffalo Times; James Anderson, circulation manager of the Buffalo Morning Express, and William C. Crowsey, an important member of the Buffalo Real Estate Exchange. A report from Pittsburgh was headed, "Pittsburgh Home Owners, Colored People in Iron City Keep Step With Us," and the report was "Building Brick Structures—Colored Men of Mississippi Capital Saying Nothing and Sawing Wood." Under the above a report from Jackson, and Redmond, had completed a three-story building with a roof garden. The first story offers quarters to the American Trust and Savings Bank, the second story is based for officers, the third story is based for a roof garden is utilized for vaudeville attractions. "The ground is being broken" says the same report, for a new two-story brick building. This building is four brick structures adjoining an Earls街, all owned by Negroes. Financially Negro secret societies appear to be very prosperous. The Mississippi and Lodge of Alabama at its annual meetings reported that $75,949.80 had been received during the year. The colored Old Fellows of Louisiana paid $26,000 for a three-story brick building in New Orleans. The United Brothers of Friendship created a $29,000 building at Louisville, KY. The order Texas collected during the year $67,430. Fiftly the third and three hundred and forty-seven dollars of this amount went to the widows and orphans fund. In no state do the secret societies handle more money than they do in Mississippi. At the annual meeting of the Mississippi Grand Lodge of that state it was reported that during the year $229,000 had been expended for the payments of endowment benefits and that a balance of $19,000 was on hand. At the recent financial convention of the Negro's old Fellow of that state was reported that during the years $50,000 had been paid out by the treasurer for the benefit of widows and orphans and that a balance of $78,000 was on hand. The Mississippi societies are not only giving attention to the collection of funds for sickness and death, but are endeavoring to promote the health of the people. The state meetings a considerable amount of time has been devoted to lectures on health and sanitation. Also at these meetings lectures on farming, domestic economy and other subjects have been given by experts from the United States Department of Agriculture and other institutions. The Knights of Pythias are financially one of the strongest Negro orders in the country. At the biennial session of the Supreme Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias which met in August in Indianapolis it was reorganized and the collection for endowment, that there was in the grand bodge treasury $42.55; that the property owned by the grand bodge was valued at $776,294.55. The total real estate holdings of the order were valued at $1,500,000. It was decided at the Indianapolis meetings to move the collection for endowment to Chicago of the Pythian Temple to cost between $1,500,000 and $200,000. Reports show that in 1911 the value of property on which Negroes paid taxes was. In Arkansas, $20,500,000; in Indiana, $13,000,000; in Illinois, $28,600,000; in Virginia, $27,000,000; and in Texas, $30,000,000. The total value of property owned by Negroes in the United States is estimated to be about $600,000,000. The year 1911 was a banner year for the raising of money for the Cri Jared Young Men's Christian Association work. The greatest event was the announcement of Julius Rosenwald of Chicago that he would give $25,000 for the Colored Young Men's Christian Association work. The colored people themselves have subscribed liberally in every city where there has been an appeal for funds for the Y. M. C. A. work. In Pittsburgh they contributed $25,000 in a very short apolls they subscribed in a very short time $20,556.36 to a fund of $100,000. In Philadelphia they subscribed $25,000. In Los Angeles, Cal., $35,000 was subscribed. In Atlanta they subscribed $65,000, which was $150,000 more than subscribed. Which was $17,000 more than was requested. In Chicago the building for the Y. M. C. A. is to cost not less than $150,000. In Washington a $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building for Negroes has just been completed. In York it was $300,000 building for the colored Y. M. C. A. During the year the Negro Baptists of Alabama raised $23,367 for Selma University. When the amounts raised were not sufficient, the state are taken into account it is probable that over $30,000 has been raised by the Baptists of Alabama for the support of their schools. From twenty colored conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church over $26,000 was raised for the support of the Freedmen's Aid Board. This is nearly one dollar in every four compared with what was received from that entire denomination. The South Methodist Episcopal Church for the seventy years stood at the head of all the conferences in the Methodist Episcopal Church in their gifts to the Freedmen's aid work. This conference for the endowment of Clifton University, no money to be raised in the North until $50,000 is secured. The African Methodist Episcopal Church is raising each year about $150,000 for this denomination is supporting twenty normal schools and colleges. Negro students have shown ability Edith Palmer of Philadelphia, won the free scholarship prize to Cornell University. Edward Winthrop Robinson was awarded a scholarship at Amherst College. Richard Brown, who was a doctoral of her class in the Hillam, N.Y., High School. She finished a four years course in three years. Marlon Reed of the Brighton High School, was the best student to be graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, and was a paid doctoral of her class and received a $100 scholarship to Simmons College. The flylight committee of the American Civic Association of New York City offered a prize of $10 for the press-up on how to carry out a career of dishonest. Willie Henderson, 12-year-old colored kirl, won the prize. Ethel Davis of Boston, in a competitive examination against 1,466 other pupils, won a scholarship of $500 per year in Collesley College. George A. Scott, the first and second in the Great is medal contest at Columbia University in 1911. James B. Clark, a junior prize student at Cornell University, was awarded the prize of honor in the annual competition for French writing and translation, held under the four-pawn of the Society of French Professors in America. Charles Henry Crippen of New York in a competitive examination, won the state scholarship in Cornell University. Euthon, the first-board brother of Euthon, was a 1250 scholarship at Radcliff College. Thomas S. Lowry, a graduate of the medical department of Howard University, stood highest in the Florida state in the maximum-level. The student of Durham, N.C., graduated with the highest honors from the Northwestern University Dental School of Chicago. He was appointed demonstrator in clinics, the first time a colored man in the ever-re钴-pol-the-t. Aldrich, Louis of Nashville, out of fifteen competitors received the highest grade, 92% for internship at the city hospital and the city dispensary in Indianapolis, Ind. James R. Murphy, in a recent test at the St. Louis Institute for Medical Science, under the age of 98.50 per cent, the highest general average ever established. COLLEGE WOMEN FARMERS The following article in regard to the agricultural education of women in Cornell University at Ithaca, New York, is from the New York World of January 28. It is reprinted here because it illustrates the way in which the methods of industrial education—the method of "learning by doing"—are now being taken up and adopted in educational institutions in the country. Nearly women are studying to be farmers in the college of Agriculture at Cornell University. These islely women are taking a four year course in all the branches of selection agriculture, dairy industry, poultry, husbandry, horticulture, and home economies. When they receive their diplomas they will be ready to take up the active management of arms in this or any other State. The years ago, there were only twenty seven women studied in the college of Agriculture, but so great is the demand for agricultural education as enrollment of 150 is looked for next year. The College of Agriculture has a large experimental farm and dairy, where the girl farmers receive their instruction as well as in classrooms. Most of the women are specializing in dairy or househusbandry. Chemistry: a chapterology form an important part of the courses for the former. The students are not only taught all there is to know about milk products, their cost of production and how to analyze them, but everything about cows, their breeds, so on. Control of kicking, feeding, and so forth. They are taught the best methods of milking and how to operate milking machines which are now being used in model dairy. The courses in poultry husbandry have the largest enrollment. The women in these courses learn how to clean the chickens, winters weather feeding and caring for their hooks of hens, cleaning out the chicken coops of hens, cleaning out the chicken coops that usually fall to the lot of the third man on a poultry farm. They operate the pick and draw and pick poultry at a farm, operate the crates, shipping coops and trap nets, operate gasoline engines, power bone nets. Their day begins at 8 o'clock Sundays included, when they appear at the farm wearing gingham aprons, sweaters and thick hats. They have had actual experience as poultrymen set the doe do the same work. Sex is it is an attractive fact that, while most of the men in the Agricultural college come from the rural districts, the women are from the city. Each one has a hook of thirty hens, and the women use wheelbarrows to wrench when full farm is available. Every student has to learn to operate a sampler together, to which a power button it is into small pieces, making a very tasty dessert that is much reliably by the chickens going into the cut up with an are before have to take their turn to swing the arre.

White Rose Home Rally and Concert For more than a month little punch cards, calling for one dollar each, have been circulating among the members and friends of the White Rose Industrial Association. Last Thursday evening, January 25, they were handed in, at the Home, 217 East 86th street, in at the corner of the year East, by Mirek R. Kepner, the apparent owner of the Home. The large audience filled the parlors, the ball and stairs and was most enthusiastic in its appreciation of the work of the White Rose Home and of the rare musical and dramatic program presented by Marie Jackson Stuart. Mrs. Stuart rendered a selection excellently and responded to an encore most pleasing in "Jimmie Butler and the Owl." Miss Katherine Scott of the Bronx gave much pleasure by her well-recorded piano solo. Mrs. Taplay, the well-known pianist and contralto, and Miss Minnie Brown, soprano, rendered a duet, "Clear Is the Dawn." Round after round of applause attested the appreciation of their hearses. Marie Jackson Stuart, New York's favorite dramatic reader, gave a remarkably unique and impressive rendering of the Owl, and was obliged to respond to her applause, and rendered a duet, "Conquered," and the most touching Dunkar lyric, "Little Brown Baby, to the great delight of all present." Minnie Brown, a pure lyrical soprano, completely captivated her hearers by her charming manner and magnificent voice with her charming soprano voice. She sings, "If Love and the World is Mine," and in response to two encounters, "A Red, Red Rose," and a beautiful composition of Mrs. Brown's own, she proceeds of the rally to the board of directors through the honored president, Miss M.

Sitting-Down Jobs It is to be regretted that so many of our young women place so much store upon sitting-down jobs. Can it be that they assume such jobs carry with them more dignity than other jobs, or is it because, they are averse to expanding the amount of energy which some non-sitting jobs require? Whatever the cause may be, it is none the less unfortunate that there are so many intelligent young girls who seek office jobs at almost starvation wages, when these same girls with little education might be earning easily double the amount which is doled out to them Saturday after Saturday by some business or professional man whose small margin scarcely warrants his paying a girl what he does pay.—Birmingham (Ala.)

F. S. GRANT Prop. NASHVILLE, TENN Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 13. Thirty-four patients, from half a dozen Southern States, were operated on at the Hubbard Hospital last week, when the fifteenth annual student surgical clinic was held. Dr. Daniel H. Williams of Chicago was chief clinical instructor. The clinic is conducted each year for the benefit of the Meharry students, and Meharry graduates from all over the South are among those who furnish patients to be operated on. Dr. G. W. Hubbard, dean of the institution, stated that the clinic this year was be far, the most instructive and successful in very standpoint ever held at Meharry. One of the students at Hubbard for the great increase in attendance and large number of cases is on account of the greatly increased facilities offered by the new George W. Hubbard Hospital, one wing of which is now completed, and, as far as it has gone, is said to be one of the most modern and convenient hospitals receiving exclusively Negro patients in the world. Until the Hubbard Hospital was established the clinics were held in the recently Mercy Hospital, of which Dr. R. F. Kane one of the members of the faculty of Medicine was surgeon-in-chief. The facilities, however, had for some time been inadequate for the purpose of clinical instructions on account of the growth of the medical school and its increased needs, and as a result the new Hubbard Hospital was commenced, which will cost more than $50,000 when completed. While Dr. F. F. A. Stewart acted as chief assistant to Dr. F. Williams, he being profemor of surgery at Meharry, other prominent local surgeons were active in the operating room, among them Dr. R. F. Boyd, C. V. Roman, J. H. McMillan, J. H. Hale, H. T. Noel and G. H. Bandy, who ably administered the anesthetics. Already several patients have been sent home thoroughly ont of danger, while many others are convalecent. Of the large number operated on, it is expected that all will recover. While in the city Dr. Dan Williams was the guest of Dr. P. A. Stewart. He was entertained at dinner by Dr. Berry and Dr. R. F. Boyd and Dr. G. H. Bandy. HARRY REINSCHMIDT, PROP. 549 WEST 50TH STREET.

The entertainment was arranged as a benefit for a "struggling" white congregation of this city. The pastor of the church (Alex Irwin M. E. Church, South) approached the director of the society, which is composed largely of vocal talent from the three universities of the city, and a concert was arranged to aid the church in their efforts to pay off an indebtedness. At the concert the colored people were led up an alley to the balcony, where they were carried off, much to their chirping and indignation. Many turned back and went to their homes in disgust.

(the) MUSIC AND THE STAGE EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON THE PAE-LENTEN RECITAL AS the years glide on and on, and Manhattan Isle becomes more grown up and greater in wealth and influence the Pre-Lent recital and assembly, given annually under the management of Walter F. Craig, becomes more and more an institution of amusement in the community. At no time during the year do beauty and fashion meet in such royal combat for first honors, and the occasion is always synonymous with a large and fashionable gathering. It is, therefore, unnecessary for me to take up minutes and inches by making a long statement dwelling on the brilliancy of the spectacle presented by the gathering last Thursday evening at Palm Garden. In years gone by more genuine amusement has been gotten out of the assembly than the recital, due to the morbidity of some of the numbers on the program. When an uneven program is presented on one hand and music — dreamy and spoony, raggy and exhilarating — is played for the wall, two-step, schottleshe and glide, it is not a difficult problem to determine which part of the evening's entertainment meets with the popular approval of the people. This year was no exception to the rule. Some of the numbers of the 'recital were very much enjoyed, and Mr J T. Butler of Philadelphia was the greatest applause gatherer. He was the hit of the evening and made a favorable impression. I had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Butler recite Kipling's "Danny Deever" some months ago in his native city and enjoyed his work. His enunciation is good, and although he does not pose as a singer he gives evidence of being able to creditably render vocal selections if ambitious in that direction. By pitching his speaking voice somewhat lower Mr. Butler will find that his words will have better carrying effect. Aside from "Lady Maud's Oath" "The Rosary." "Imitation of a Lady Making Her Heart," "Danny Deever," and "The Low Back Car," Mr. Butler responded to several encores A very promising musician is Mr. H. Kinneol, a young violinist of Chicago. This youngster excelled at bowing and gave a highly satisfactory exhibition of his skill with his bow, especially in his three numbers, "Thaise," "Caprice Petinois" and "Zephir." That the young violinist from the Windy City has been under the tutorship of competent masters is evident, and it is predicted that he will some day bloom as a violinist of more than ordinary prominence. A new tenor in these parts is Mr. A. W. Smith, who showed excellent judgment in his selections. Mr. Smith is not a robust tenor, and his voice seems to be more fitted for the parlor or a smaller hall than Palm Garden, but what his voice lacked in strength was made up for in sweetness. "For You Alone," "As I Didnothing Else to Do," and "Song of the Soul" were among the numbers he pleasingly rendered. Mme. Octave Dishman, soprano soloist of Omaha, was advertised as the principal attraction of the evening's program. Despite my strenuous attempt to be chivalrous to Mme. Dishman and my desire to extend to her all the courtesy to which a visitor is entitled it is utterly impossible for me to refer to her engagement as a success. I am inclined to believe that Mme. Dishman was not at her best Thursday evening, as she did not live up to the reputation that preceded her by any means. I have in mind a number of local singers who could have occasioned as much enthusiasm as this imported singer. Mme. Dishman showed a marked fondness for dwelling among the top notes and indulging extravagantly in trills, although her best notes were made in the lower register. I had hoped that she had outgrown the habit of some of the younger and ambitious singers recently heard in this city, who came to New York and sought to impress upon us how much they knew about voice culture by singing numbers showing off the voice from a standpoint of execution only. However, she, too, was guilty of a similar offense. "Then Weep, O Grief Worn Eyes," "Thou Brilliant Bird," "Silent as Night," which was the most familiar number, and "The Florian Love Song" were the selections rendered. Mr. Melville Charlton acted as accompanist in his usual capable manner. After Thursday evening's recital I again find myself complaining of the selections used by the majority of the artists. It has been the mistake of many singers who have appeared at Pre-Lenten recitals in the past to render songs unfamiliar to the audience, not singing even one popular number. This big mistake is often made because the artist comes to the metropolis with an idea of "showing some class." Yet how different is the program given by some of our leading white singers—say Mme. Tetrazzini. I have before me a review of a concert in which Mme Tetrazzini sang recently, which appeared in the New York Evening Sun. I will reproduce one paragraph of the review to show how much at variance the foremost white solists are with our ambitious colored singers. The review follows: "Mme Tetrazzini, who was in her best form, was down on the program for the Caro Nome' from Rigoletto, Gounod's 'Ave Maria,' with virgin obligato by Mr. Franko, and the 'Mad Scene' from Lucia.' The encore which set the house will was 'The Last Rose of Summer,' at the end, which brought the crowd to the stage. The singer and again to kiss her hands to her happy admirers." It would be a difficult matter, indeed, for Walter F. Craig to get a colored singer with lofty aspirations to come to New York and sing "The Last Rose of Summer." In fact he would experience much difficulty convincing the artist that it was just the proper thing to sing "Ave Maria" because these numbers do not afford opportunities for dealing profusely in cadenzas and other vocal flights. And yet Mine, Tetrazini, one of the world's greatest singers, takes delight in rendering "The Last Rose of Summer" to the great delight of an enthusiastic audience. Although the Negro is possessed of strong racial traits, and his folk songs and tales have attracted widespread attention yet not a song was sung Thursday evening characteristic of the race. Even Dumbar was forgotten by Mr. Butler, who showed a preference for Kipling. While reading an account of last Sunday's concert in Monday's Evening Sun Iran across the following: "The greatest house, it was said, that ever was packed inside the walls of the great Hippodrome heard the Caistor Sirita's second concert in New York and cheered to the echo a Hebrew, 'Haben Jakar' Both the Warsaw cantor and his conductor, Loew, preserved the atmosphere of the temple by putting on high hats during the singing of traditional religious songs of their people the world over. Sirita's selections were again traditional Jewish melodies. Jewish songs do not rank with Negro songs for melody, sweetness and tender expressions of sympathy, but many of us seem to be making a strong effort to get away from racial things which would serve us in good stead, although quite often we retain those traits which benefit us, not I do not maintain that at a recital all Negro folk songs should be song, neither do I contend that all popular numbers should be used. But my belief is that the sooner we get down to earth and be more natural, the Negro along musical as well other lines, will learn to appreciate the worth of race consciousness.

C. V. B. A. MASQUERADE CONDITIONS as to sex were very much complicated at Manhattan Casino last Thursday evening (also Friday morning) at the masquerade ball and midnight vaudeville show at the Colored Vaudeville Beneficial Association. Men trapped gracefully with masks and wore so artificie in their make-up that they were in the majority of men. ```markdown ``` STANCES mistaken for members of the gentler sex. And then there were some women at the masquerade whose disguise was so deceptive that they had everybody guessing. Men who were not in costume were seen to dance about the hall with those of masculine gender dressed up in female attire, utterly unconscious of the = MRS. HANNAN HICKS who won the first Prize fact that they were holding tenderly in their arms members of their sex; and the women waltzed and two-steped with women also ignorant of the identity of their partners. When the revelers unmasked there were many startling disclosures and everybody had a good laugh. The police authorities are very strict about the giving of masquerade balls and as to the conduct of masqueraders in Manhattan, and a number of incidents occurred during the evening that kept the Committee on Arrangement men about. About 1.3 thousand passing inside Anthony Byrd as called to the telephone and informed that one of the most prominent members of the association had started for Manhattan Casino masked and in full regalia; that a representative of Police Commissioner Waldo saw this strange spectacle and promptly asked the vaudevillian to take a little walk and register at a police station nearby for appearing on the streets in East Williams and Bob Slater were at once sent to render aid to the brother in trouble, but after two hours' search they were unable to locate him and gave up the search. Upon their return to Manhattan Casino they found the object of their attention dancing to his heart's content and he proclaimed that a military expedition to the authorities he had sent to The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

Tuesday evening about 9.30 o'clock I wendied my way to the Crescent Theatre and had not preceded very far down 135th St. when I saw a surging throng in front of the house which caused me to think that a riot was going on. I quickened my steps, but upon reaching the little theatre found that the crowd was so large that the pushing and pouting of the large crowd was due to the nature of the people to get into the theatre to see Baby Jim. Now Baby Jim may have a small name, but he is certainly a big person and at the Crescent Theatre he is a big attraction. He weighs 793 pounds, and looks very ounce of it. It is impossible for him to travel on the rail and he must be a other person as his sister makes it necessary for him to use the baggage car for his headquarters. Baby Jim is so large it is impossible for him to ride on the street cars. He was brought from the railroad station to Harlem in a moving car. Baby Jim made his biggest hit when he "got over Sal" and did the "Eagle rock." have a strong hold on the Cross-centites. They are appearing in an abbreviated act this week. Princess Sotanki is also on the bill IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Washington Quints Close Season. The Inter-Scholastic Athletic Association and the Public School Athletic League basketball season ended last Saturday night in Washington, D. C. in secondary school class, M Street High School won top honors, Stevens School of the No. 10 Division Athletic League of the B* S. A. L. won the champion title for the city in the heavyweight class, while the city lightweight honors rest with Garrison School of the 11th Division Athletic League. Without doubt it was the most successful season from the athletic standpoint that has ever been in Washington. The I. S. A. A. League series of games were marked with features of tip top team play and individual skill. The officials were in all men of the highest callibre and come in for the highest praise of the season who served here: Measur Washington, Henderson, Nixon, Oliver, Gray, J. Wilkinson, Hamilton, E. Clarke, J. C. Bruce, Robinson, Logan, Brown, Holland and Douglas. M. Street High School team was composed of five of the best players in the city and won the championship wholly upon the excellent team work of the squad. Holland was especially responsible for the good team work. Randall broke into the game as a green hand at the start of the season, but when shoved into the breach later the season than made up for the less than a hundred and a quarter members of the quint, in their games with heavier opponents. Rector in forward was in every game and proved to be one of the most reliable men of the season as a player and a sportman. "Cotton" Hughes was a trifle off-color in the middle of the season, but when well again came back with plenty to spare in evening up the past. Capt. Green, coming right through the strenuous campaign as quarterback on the football team, got into the court game and kicked the ball out. Howard Academy five ranked next to M Street. The team was strong, fast and rough, but lacked individual skill. Business High School team had a splendid hard-working team and made a good showing in the games played. The Armstrong athletes are laboring under the influence of an off year. He captured a chick of an off year. The boys did all that could be expected. Team standing—Scholastic Series: Team. W. L. Pct.

Wood for leadership Wednesday, when Chief Murphy of Tammany Hall ruled that the colored Democrats of New York city must hold another primary, and named Thursday, March 21 as the date.

The need of a hall where the colored citizens of New York City can conduct their fraternal affairs was never better illustrated than Wednesday evening, February 14, when the funeral of a member of Hamilton Lodge, G. U. O. of O. F. was held in a room at 160 W. 29th Street. It was the regular meeting of Hamilton-Lodge and the members received notices from W. David Brown that funeral services would be held in Room 6 of Odd Fellows' Hall and that the lodge would convene thereafter. In the same building the Lone Acre Club of white organization, which conducts prize wine has headquarters, and during the funeral services over the deceased Odd Fellow a pugilistic contest was pulled off in the building. The noise made by the fighters and spectators interfered greatly with the funeral services, and the lodge members were interrupted time and time again by the gells and groans of the fifth enthusiasts. Some of the members present declared that the services should not have been held in the hall in the first place, as it is customary that in the absence of a church or residence the undertaker uses his chapel.

Harper, T. H. Lawrence, A. B. Morton, J. M. Proctor, R. C. Ransom, A. R. Cooper, Joseph Stiles, Walter Mason, C. E. Wilson, A. C. Saunders, C. P. Cole, Thornton and Annett of Philadelphia, and Miss Estelle Robinson. The choir rendered appropriate music. Bishop Evans Tyree was introduced by the Rev. Ransom and made a pointed address.

But Toussaint L'Ouvrette was greater than Napoleon as a warrior, the equal of Gladstone in brains, and unsurpassed by any living man in kindness, good man and generosity to his own race whom he freed from the bonds of slavery. He never saw an army until forty years of age, yet he put to flight the proudest blood of Europe, the Spanish, and sent them home conquered; he fought the greatest country of Europe, the English, and cost that country the lives of fifty-five thousand men and one hundred million dollars; he fought the most formidable country of Europe, the French, against Napoleon; cost France the lives of forty thousand men and fifty million dollars. The secret of Toussaint L'Ouvrette, the world greatest Statesman, Soldier and Martyr's success has been revealed by a member of his own family. He claims that it was the Power of Magnesium produced by Toussaint having in his possession 'two Landstown instead of man. More information regarding those wonderful emblems of luck is told in a book entitled: The Landstown, Mother of Magnesium which was originally published to be sold for $1.00.
