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.

In Tae Aam of inst week we an nounced the retirement of the Rev William H. Brooks, D.D., from th pastorate of St. Mark’s M. E.Church after a continuous service of fiftees years, There are some unusual fea tures about the retirement, so at va. tiance with the retirement of Negrc pastors as to attract attention, as Le- ing indicative of a new order o} 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 fea- tures: 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 unsatisfac- tory condition of his health, which is of long standing. During his pastor- ate of fifteen years, which is an un- usual length of service in the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, St. Mark's, in- stead of growing weaker, has grown stronger in membership, in spiritu- ality 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. Rrooks has taken an active and help- ful part in all movements for the bet terment of conditions for the Negro people of New York, and had. the sympathy and co-operation: of his church membership in doing so. Dr. Rrooks has not taken an active part in partisan polities, but he has at no time hesitated to pronouner strongly in pulpits and public platforms, against political and other abuses. Tne AGE hopes for Dr. Brooks’ speedy restoration i health and a continnation of the good works which have characterized his labors in New Vork and which have endeared him te the people, regardless of sectarian dhenvsritiratisesal ities: THE LEARNED DEGREE PUN.

Priolean of the Firs Congressional District of South Caro: lina, “represents a tragedy—thestrag edy of the Negro citizenship of South Carolina, which the Negroes of South Carolina sold for a small mess o} money and a high. old time, from 186§ to 1876, just cight years of riotous misrule, to which their educated lead: cts 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, o| whom Robert Browne Elliott, who died a pauper in New Orleans, was the most intelligent and eloquent and the most infamous. They had the Ne- aro 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 clection to Congress for the First South Carolina District five times. In four previous contests he had a Republican Elections Commit- tee of the House to deal with: the contest was decided against him cach 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 cight. but it appears to have been enough to keep Mr. Priolean’s corn pone buttered and hiy election ballots paid for. and ior 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 ashe was defeated, in that way seek- ing “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 ith contest. now pending, a news dispatch from Washington says, Mr Pristean’s case will not’ only be thrown out by the Democrats of the Ile oof Representatives, hut that He will net be allowed any expenses st comtest ustul in such cases.

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.

Congressman Fillmore reported that the Committee on Military Affairs of the Assembly had deferred the date of reporting the bill until Wednesday, February 28, 1912 when a hearing will be held on the regimental bill. Congressman Lavelle's resolution, which was introduced on January 28, urging the nomination of colored men in New York County for the Assembly, was the main feature of the session. Congressman Outlear, the minority leader, made a masterly speech in opposing the resolution, and was followed by the majority leader, Congressman W. T. R. Richardson, who also spoke in opposition to the resolution as being untimely because colored voters are being confronted with a grave situation at Albany, referring to the bill for a colored regiment. A committee of five will go to Albany to the hearing and represent the Equity Congress and the regiment.

This decision greatly pleased the Lee people, who have been insisting that a new primary be held. Chief Lee was represented by Balph E. Engstrom and R. N. Wood by J. D. Carr. It was directed by Chief Murphy that Chief Lee name two men and Wood name two men, the four to select a fifth man, who are to make up the committee on organization and direct the primary.

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.

Bishops' Council filled local pulpits Sunday. The Public Service Commission has turned down the plea made by Attorney W. Ashbie Hawkins asking that the race be given equal sleeping and eating accommodations on steamers plying the Cheesapeake Bay. The excuse given by the chairman of the commission for burning down the appeal was that inside rooms were not discriminations, given though they were next to the school house, and that equal dining privileges may provoke a riot. Following close upon the decision was a charge made in the State Senate that the commission is dominated by the corporations. Mr. Hawkins will fight the discrimination in the courts.

A dress can be set in seven minutes without patternwork or ruffling, twice as quick as by pattern. This machine is so simple and easy that dreammakers require no personal instructions, and now beginners can learn the entire art in a very short time. When a pattern is not desired, the operator can use tracing wheel and run around the machine upon its dress lining and so save time in our work. Dreammakers will find it to be their interest to consult us by letter or otherwise and ensure our special terms to dreammakers for appropriate supplies. etc. We want the local dreammakers to become our local agents in the different towns and cities.

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.
