VOL. XXV. No. 32. IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE JUSTICE Lynch Trials for Barbarous Burning of Zach Walker End Abruptly After Months of Hard Work Officials of Chester County Find Citizens Uphold Lawlessness ALL VERDICT ARE FARCICAL Judge and Prosecutors Say Verdict of Not Guilty Would be Returned no Matter What the Evidence. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. WEST CHESTER, Pa., May 7.—Agreeing that it was impossible to get a jury in Chester County to convict anybody of the barbarous lynching of Zach Walker, all further proceedings in the infamous case that disgraced the county as well as the State of Pennsylvania have been discontinued. This decision was reached by the officials who for months have been seeking to secure justice, but were finally compelled to come to the conclusion that a sufficient number of fair-minded and law-abiding citizens could not be gotten together to convict a defendant tried for lynching, even if the evidence showed that the accused was guilty. A solemn and emphatic protest was registered against the miscarriage of justice by the judge and prosecutors, who regretted deeply the miscarriage of justice and confessed themselves impotent, in view of the manifest condition of public opinion in Chester County, to proceed further with the Kali frozen prosecutions remaining from last year's efforts to convict the singleaders in the barbarous burning at Walker. Judge Butler Talks to Jurors. Following the charge of Judge William Butler to the jury in the case against Lewis Denithorne, of Phoenixville, charged with being a participant in the lynching on August 13 last, the jury had retired for deliberation about 9 o'clock, and about 11 had agreed upon a verdict. As Judge Butler had retired to his home for the night, the jurors were confined to the Court House until 8 o'clock the next morning. Judge Butler then arrived at the Court House, and the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty." Before discharging the jurors, His Home directed them to be scaled in the jury box, when he addressed them. I do not want to criticise your action, but I cannot refrain from saying that your verdict impresses me as a great authority, from the standpoint of law and order. The evidence presented by the Committee with absurdly demonstrative the defendants' guilt. He offered no answer, and did not even take the stand and make a denial. Judge Butler to the sented impression on the intense silence of the room for a few minutes. Butler then discharged and directed that Demin on his freedom. There wasitation of any sort, a hurriedly departed, an inward left town on a course his residence in ALEXIS Lewis H. Keyser, a former resident of Norristown, aged 22, was brought from prison into the court room, for trial on a charge of murder also as one of the participants in the Contesville crime. Counsel for the Commonwealth had an expert conference with Judge Russell, which former District Attorney Robert Gawthrop, in this case special counsel for the state, moved that verdicts of not guilty be taken in all the remaining cases not tried. He made a statement to the court that it was impossible to secure conviction of any, of the defendants, and to continue the trials would only humiliate the administration of justice. In this connection he said: "The Commonwealth has arrived at the point where she feels that it is absolutely impossible for her to secure any convictions in these cases. We have here the case against Lewis Keyser, charged with murder; Notman Price, Richard Tucker, Walter Markward, charged with murder, and Charles Umsted and Stanley Howe, charged with involuntary manlaughter. Since the inception of this matter, which began on the 13th of August last, the Commonwealth has used every resource within its power and made the most careful investigation to secure evidence against the parties who were connected with the Lynchman of the Negro. Soon after the crime occurred an investigation was made by the grand jury at the instance of the court, and a number of cases were tried at the October term of court and all six of the defendants were acquitted. "After an application was made to The New York Age. 10 REV. W. W. BECKETT, D.D. the Supreme Court of the State for a change of venue, because the officers of the law felt that they could not secure a fair and impartial trial in Chester County, that application was refused, and now, at the end of six months, the Commonwealth's officers of this county and the Deputy Attorney General come here and present, before a jury selected from two panels of 70 each, the case which they believed then, and now believe, was the strongest case they had against any person under indictment. Strange as it may seem, after having spent nearly three hours in selecting a jury, having called about one hundred men, many of whom are personally known to us all as solid and substantial men, of judgment and integrity, and after securing a jury of representative Chester County men, the Commonwealth presented all the facts in connection with the defendant. Lewis Denithorne, and the jury which was selected saw fit to acquit the defendant who did not take the stand to deny his guilt. A Hopeless Situation. "I am not here to criticise the action of the jury, but I say as representing the Commonwealth, that, in my judgment, alter the acquittal of Lewis Denithorne by the jury this morning, it is hopeless for the Commonwealth to ask for convictions in the other cases against the defendants under indictment. "I feel that up to this time the investigation and the trials have been fully warranted. This was a horrible crime, and there are few who will deny it. It was a disgrace to our county, and it was our absolute duty to try to convict those parties who were participants in the lynching. We have come to the place where officers representing the Commonwealth we are now satisfied that we cannot secure conviction. After having tried six defendants at one time in court, and after an interval of six months, after the prejudice and evenment of the mongrel have proved law, we have tried another, our strongest case with the same result. "It impresses us all that the court to continue the trial of these cases, and to call the other defendants, and to keep the jurors sent here fifteen days, would only tend to humiliate the administration of justice, and that it is better for the Commission officers to submit reluctantly to the results acquired at the hands of the juries than to continue to try cases and bring cases which the officers feel are unanswerable, with the result that the defendants will be acquitted. We feel now that it is impossible to secure conviction of any of the defendants in Chester County; and, feeling so, we ask permission of the court to submit the cases which I have referred to to this jury, and ask your Honor to permit us to take verdicts of not guilty." Sava It Is a Sad Situation. In concurring, Judge Butler said: "It is certainly a very sad situation in which we find ourselves. I do not say it in spirit of criticism of anybody, but say it as a necessary conclusion, from my observation, from what I hear and from what I have seen, that there is, for some reason that I am entirely unable to understand, a sentiment in this county, a general sentiment, utterly opposed to the prosecution and conviction of anybody and everybody who took part in this horrible affair. My first thought, when I heard of this crime, was that it would be difficult to secure justice for those accused. We have been accustomed to look upon such an offense as peculiar to people of a different character than ourselves, as something that could not possibly happen in our midst, but, when it did happen, under more horrible details than any lynching I ever heard of, my thought and fear was that the sense of decency of the people would be so outraged by this awful humiliation put upon them that we could not get a jury of twelve men in the community who would be competent to justly try the accused. Now DIVORCED 3 MONTHS; NOW MARRIES 3RD WIFE King-Nelson Wedding Creates Big Sensation in Two Cities BRIDE ONCE A ROOMER Al one Time the Present Mrs. King Lived under Same Roof with Groom and Mrs. King No. 2. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE created much gossip in colored social circles of this city and Washington. The occasion for the gossip was that Wilbur E. King, the colored assistant prosecuting attorney for this county, was the groom, and the bride, Miss Eiffel Nelson of Washington, D.C., is his third wife. Another cause for gossip is that Mr. King was but about three months ago divorced from his second wife, who was formerly Miss Hattie Hall, member of one of the oldest and most highly respectable families in Columbus, and prior to her marriage to the now much married Mr. King was one of the most brilliant colored teachers in the white schools. The wigs are now busy referring to the fact that the third bride of Mr. King resided here for a while, and during her residence was employed in the hair and maintaining patrons owned and operated by Mrs. King's sister. When Mr. ram divorced his second wife he settled upon his $1250 first wife was Mrs. Visha Bell, the most beautiful young colored woman in Ohio. She died, and Mr. King remained single but a short time, when he married again. This marriage to his third wife at Washington, who was Miss Ethee Nelson, has occasioned as much surprise as gossip. As soon as Mr. King divorced his second wife it is said he began improving his home on Champion avenue, where the third Mrs. King resides. SWORN IN AS JUSTICE. NEWARK, N. J., May 8.-Wednesday, May I, J. H. E. Scotland was sworn in and took the office of Justice of the Peace for the term of five years. At the last general election Mr. Scotland was re-elected to the office by his constituency of the Second Ward, in which he has resided for the past eighteen years, and having served for five years previously in the office of Justice, he has made many friends among both races, who gave him a handsome majority over his contestants. Since Justice Scotland has been the document clerk in the office of the County Clerk and representative of the colored voters of Essex County, he has endeavored to do all within his power to bring about an improved feeling of racial respect in public aaffirs between both races. FLORENCE, S. C., May 7.—W. T. Andrews and J. R. Levy are busy stamping out "Lily Whiteism" in South Carolina and have so routed the "Lily Whites" that they have called off their state convention. The anti"Lily White" faction stands eleven Negroes and seven whites, with Messrs. Andrews and Levy as delegates-at-large to the Chicago convention.

Church Shawne that $131,000.10 was Released During Last Four Years for Benefit of Home and Foreign Missions. Special to The New York Acq. KANSAS CITY, Mo. May 7.—The annual meeting of the board of missions of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, held here Saturday, revealed the fact that $131,874.10 was raised by the various missionary agencies for the benefit of home and foreign missions during the past four years. The report was made by the Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett, of New York, who is just winding up a four-year term as missionary secretary. The money reported came through the Parent Missionary Society, the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, the Woman's Mite Missionary Society and $5,000 raised by Bishop Heard. This money was spent in furthering the missionary work of the denomination in West and South Africa, Central and South America, Canada and the West Indies. Ministers with poor charges in this country were also helped. The report of Dr. Beckett is regarded as an excellent one, considering the fact that the last general conference reduced the department's share of the Easter day collections by one-third, and cut off the forty per cent, that the department received from the $1 paid annually by each pastor for missions. With the sources of revenue thus curtailed, Dr. Beckett succeeded in raising within $2,000 of the total raised within the preceding four years. Bishop C. T. Shaffer presided at the meeting. Other members present were the Revs. J. H. L. Watkins, I. N. Ross, W. H. H. Butler, G. H. Shaffer, F. Jesse Peck, B. J. Ramsey, K. W. Washington, C. R. Turner, J. W. Rankin, D. A. Perrin and James W. Walker. Y. M. C. A. CONFERENCE Important Meeting to be Known as Student Conference, to Be Held at Kings Mountain, N. C., from May 24 to June 2. Special interest has been aroused in Young Men's Christian Association work throughout the country by the munificent offer of Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, to give $25,000 to every city in the United States that will raise $75,000 for an association building for colored men. Not only have the men in larger cities been stirred to action, but those in smaller cities as well. The association work in educational institutions has also received a strong impetus, and special efforts are being made to train competent Christian young men for leadership in this rapidly advancing movement. One new and important step in the development of this work is the student conference that will be held at Kings Mountain, N. C., May 24 to June 2, which will be attended by a large number of teachers and student delegates in the District of Columbia to the outst. Many of the most able speakers of both gays will participate in the conference. A new expedition might be international. Joseph W. Norton is currently pursued from South Africa. Dr. C. T. Walker, of Augusta, Ga. President S. C. Mitchell of the University of S. C., Dr. E. O'Connell, Professor of the Theological Department of Howard University, Dr. S. G. Akins, Educational Secretary of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Dr. W. H. Sheppard, Missionary to the Congo Free State, and others. Every effort is being put forth by the Secretaries of the International Committee to make this conference of student young men the most valuable contribution to the social and religious life of our people. CONTRIBUTES TO TUSKEGEE. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE DETROIT, Mich., May 7.—The Osceola Club of Detroit in many respects the most important organization among the colored people of Detroit and Michigan, has sent a subscription of $20 to Booker T. Washington's school at Tuskegee, Ala. The subscription represents the voluntary contribution of each member of the club, plus a sufficient amount from the general treasury to make up the gross amount. The size of the contribution in no way reflects the attitude of the club toward Dr. Washington and his work, as the club has also many other interests; but the members wanted to record their appreciation of the great Tuskegee educator's work and have taken this means of expressing it. Dr. J. W. Ames is the leading spirit in connection with this movement and has written Dr. Washington that the latter's Detroit friends in sending the contribution wish to join him, Dr. Ames, in "renewed and constant loyalty to Dr. Washington's devotion to the race, its moral and civic uplift, his personal character and pre-eminent citizenship." DR. L. G. BROUGHTON, SAM T. STEWART AND W. D. UPSHAW COLORED COMMITTEE GETS A CALLING DOWN Has Split with Managers of Colonel Roosevelt's Campaign TROUBLE ALL OVER $200 Long Letter Written by Negroes Claiming That Money was Overdue in Sharply Answered. How the local Roosevelt Colored Committee got in bad—to be more exact, very, very bad—with the managers of Col. Roosevelt's campaign as well as the Colonel himself, is just beginning to go the rounds. No more do the members of the colored committee enjoy the confidence and good will of the Roosevelt Committee, which has headquarters in the Metropolitan Tower, and there is a long, sad story in connection with this peculiar political estrangement. The members of the Roosevelt Colored Committee, that is, the former members of the late Roosevelt Colored Committee, have in their possession correspondence from the Roosevelt Committee which bears out the statement that they have aroused the irritation of the Colonel's managers. But for the fact that one of the ex-members was indiscreet enough to show the correspondence to one of his intimate friends, it is doubtful if it ever would have been made known that the colored politicians got a good calling down. Those who have heard about the trouble between the two committees at first are at a loss whether to regard the incident in the nature of a comedy or a tragedy. Some think the circumstances attending the split-up very funny, while others regard it with much seriousness. The managers of the Roosevelt campaign, however, judging from the letter sent to each ex-member of the defunct Roosevelt Colored Committee, do not view the matter him or her. Trouble Over Committee's Report. He has no secret that the people he has seen so often open minds from any trying to commit the the primary were to in the autumn of the committee were When the report was in the the committee reported that $900 had been expended for the use of a hall for one evening. To this bit of information Treasurer Hooker told the committee that the Metropolitan Opera House could be rented for that sum, and a voucher was later sent in setting forth that the hall had cost $100. After the vouchers had been altered to the satisfaction of Treasurer Hooker and the other members of the Roosevelt Committee, and the colored members had satisfied Col. Roosevelt's managers that they had not permitted themselves to be imposed upon by designing persons who merely wanted to use them for financial reason, the vouchers were accepted. It so happened that Treasure Hooker has been busily engaged attending to Col. Roosevelt's candidacy in various sections of the country, which has kept him out of New York for several weeks. He has been busy financing campaigns in the different states where primaries are being held, and he did not have time to give any attention to minor matters. Several days ago each member of the Roosevelt Committee, including Senator Dixon, President Charles H. Duell, Secretary Oliver C. Carpenter, Treasurer Elon H. Hooker, William M. Bennett, Chairman of the Executive Committee; George Manchester, George Henry Payne and Henry L. Stoddard, editor of the Evening Mail, received a long typewritten letter, consisting of two pages, in which a "powerful and eloquent" plea was made for $200 due the colored committee. The letter was couched in many flowery figures of speech, and was signed by every member of the sub-committee. The debt of $20 to the Roosevelt Colored Committee so incensed the managers of Col. Roosevelt that they talked the matter over and reached the conclusion that the Negro politicians, many of whom are business men, did not display business methods that called for complimentary expressions. A long and none too friendly letter was sent to each member of the Roosevelt Colored Committee, in which the Colonel's managers were not backward in criticising them for their unbusiness-like methods, and the charge was made that the black committeemen had made many misstatements. The Roosevelt managers made it known that a matter of $200 was of minor import, and that the Negroes should not have made such a fuss about such a small sum. While put up in more elegant words, Treasurer Hooker and his colleagues gave the former colored Roosevelt men to understand that they had "cut a hog." The Roosevelt managers will-pay the $200, and have signified their intentions of so doing, but they will take their time. PAID HIGH TRIBUTE While Delivering Commencement Address Dr. L. G. Broughton of Atlanta Tells of the Influence Sam T. Stewart Had on His Life—Have Pictures Taken Together. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. RALEIGH, N. C., May 7. At the recent commencement exercises of Shaw University, the Rev. Dr. L. G. Brougham of Atlanta delivered the commencement address. Connected with Shaw University is Sam T. Stewart, who has been in charge of the heating plant ever since it has been erected, some twelve years ago. Stewart was owned by Dr. Broughton's mother's people. He and Dr. Broughton were brought up as boys together and remained friends ever since that time. In the course of his address, Dr. Broughton paid a very high tribute to Stewart, saying among other things that he could not tell how much he was indebted to Sam for what he was and what he might become. At the time that Dr. Broughton delivered this address he had already surrendered his position in Atlanta, where he has gained fame for the great international Church he has erected. It was on the following day he left America for England to be part of the church in that country. Before leaving, a very interesting photograph was taken, in which Dr. Broughton, Sam T. Stewart, W. H. W. and J. H. W. were in the church in that country. ODD FELLOWS REVOLT Members of Order in Maryland Planning to Remain Away from B. M. C. at Atlanta—Already Eight Lodges Have Agreed to Remain from Convention. Special to THE NEW YORK AIR BALTIMORE, Md. May 8—The coming session of the Biennial Movable Committee of Odd Fellows at Atlanta promises to be shy of some delegates from Maryland lodges, if the plans of some of those opposed to the present ruling regime are carried out. Eight lodges in Maryland have already agreed not to elect delegates for the reason, as one man put it: "The B. M. C. had a chance in Baltimore to revise the laws of the order and to adopt beneficent measures, but, on the contrary, developed into a log rolling match in favor of the present ruling oligarchy. Why should our lodges pay their good money to send delegates to Atlanta, right in the heart of the enemy's camp, to do the same thing?" That Julius C. Johnson of this city will have a fight on his hands for reelection as grand treasurer of the order is becoming apparent. Jesse L. Nicholas, grand secretary for Maryland, and a candidate for grand director, has been placed on the program to take a leading part in the annual thanksgiving services of the local lodges of the order here the coming Sunday, and the name of Mr. Johnson omitted from the program. As Maryland would hardly be awarded two of the big offices at the disposal of the next B. M. C., it seems as if Mr. Nicholas has the inside track. Rumors of independent lodges of the order here are flying thick and fast, and it is said that J. C. Asbury, former editor of the Odd Fellow's Journal, will soon organize several lodges in Baltimore and the counties. Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS NOT TO ELECT A COLORED BISHOP Methodist Episcopal Church will Not Take Up Issue at this Session Constitution will be Amended and Negro may be Elected to Episcopacy at next Conference TO INTRODUCE COMMISSION Resolution Presented by Dr. W. W. Lucas Adopted—Bishop Scott Tells of Conditions in Africa. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 7.—While there is more favorable sentiment for the election of a Negro to the episcopacy than ever in the history of the M. E. Church, it is evident that there is not enough to elect one at this session. However, indications are that the constitution will be amended that will make the election of a black man as Bishop at the next General Conference a possibility if not a certainty. This opinion is shared by Bishop Isaiah B. Scott, Missionary Bishop to Africa, and Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, and others. At the second day of the General Conference the colored members had their inning when Dr. W. W. Lucas of Mississippi offered the following resolution: Resolved, That this General Conference requests the Bour of Bishops to appoint a Commission consisting of one minister and one layman for each General Conference district to look into the needs as to Episcopal supervision and conditions for growth of our 325,000 colored members and report to this body not later than one week from this day. W. W. LUCAS, J. M. SHUMPERT, WM. MCMORRIS. Needs of Colored Members to be Further Looked into. In speaking in favor of the resolution Dr. Lucas said: "Mr. Chairman and Brethren: The presence of 325,000 members of color, peculiarly situated, with peculiar environment and peculiar history, is itself sufficient to require special action and special consideration on the part of this body. We need more—it will be more of truth to say that we need some Episcopal supervision in the Far South. It is already hinted by our friends, those who have stood by us so long, that we our colored membership in the South, are not making growth commensurate with our opportunity and relations with the Church. "I doubt if any 30,000) members in Methodism, if white, having as little Episcopal supervision as we have in the South would make any growth at all. I was latterly announced at the General Conference that we were in an Episcopal residence in New Orleans, and we had elected Brethren ought to attend. We were, but now we Mr. Chairman, be it known to you that we make no threats, we make no demands of this great body of the West East Episcopal Church. We believe that the heart of the Church beats rightward this people. But we feel that you ought to know the facts. We have not had thirty days of Episcopal residence in four years. Now, if this thing keeps up, we will have to look our blue-eyed brother in the face, the man who has led us and helped us so long, and ask for fair play. "Therefore, in order that the facts may get before this body, the Episcopacy Committee having already all that it can do, and not being able to take up matters unhandy to it from this body, I therefore offer this resolution, Mr. Chairman, and hope it will pass." The resolution was ably supported by Dr. S. S. Jolly of the Delaware Conference, and Dr. H. W. Key of the Tennessee Conference. One colored delegate from Louisiana opposed the resolution which was adopted by an overwhelming vote. Mohammedans Zealeus in Africa, Bishop Isaiah B. Scott, the only Negro Bishop in the M. E. Church, who is stationed in Liberia, in speaking before the members of the M. E. General Conference, stated that the Mohammedans are zealous in making converts in Africa, and that the struggle between that religion and Christianity is acute and constant. Bishop Scott asked for an increase of $5,000 a year so more teachers and helpers could be employed, and gave statistics showing that eight years ago there was in Liberia the oldest foreign mission of the church with 3,301 members after 70 years of effort. Now the membership is 7,687. The Sunday School children then numbered 2,447; the figure is now 4,442. Church and school property has increased from $85,200 to $165,454. The number of children in the day schools is 1,965, of which 1,548 are of parents who are asking the church to help them to Christianity.

The attention of the rector and members is now turned toward the summer work, the opening of the Fresh Air Home at Silver Lake Park, White Plains. This worthy charity which has done so much to open up the doors once more to aid those needy ones worthy of its charitable offices. The rector desires to extend his hearty thanks to all those who so heartily responded by attending the barn dance given by the choir. The choir is available for the proper maintenance of the home. An appeal is here made for the support of the further efforts to be put forth in aid of this work, which should recommend itself to the people of the race for the celebration of conducting by colored church in New York.

Lawton completed the pulpit at the morning service Sunday, and preached an excellent sermon to the Little girls of class No. 4 of the Sabbath School. Taking his text from Proverbs 6:17, the Rev. Layton said, "that he knew at no duty that would be more pleasant to perform than this. It was pleasant for them to learn from the little ones themselves, and showed that they were beginning at an early stage to take an interest in the kind of work that make great men and good women, useful women, women who become great benefactors to the community in which they live. It was pleasant for them to plant the world. He called the attention of the girls to the fact that a grain of corn is of no value in a productive sense unless it was planted, that it must be planted in good soil, and it must be nourished, so they, like the corn in order to be planted themselves in good and wholesome buildings, where they would be nourished and maintained.

L. L. Wednesday. Higher was immediately taken in custody by the authorizer, and his friends gently looking, for bondman to keep him from continuing the charge until his case was disposed of by the grand jury. When Judge Miller announced that the charge against Butler was serious enough to be taken up by the grand jury the former agent of the detective Metropolitan Police Commission became very nervous and shoved painfully that he was laboring under great excitement. Butler was arrested at the instance of E. S. Grant, who conducts an employment bureau at 6 W. 134th street, who claims he was in charge of a check for $33.33. According to Grant, several weeks ago Butler induced him and J. B.

Butler was in charge of a check for $33.33 he was notified to give an additional check to a lawyer at Butler's request. Butler claiming that he had not received the first check. Grant was unable to locate the first pension on his bank returned him his cancelled vouchers, which showed that Butler, had come in possession of both and that his signature was on them. Lenny Butter was the chief witness for John H. Atkinson, who was sentenced to prison for his role in John Moore of the County Court at Brooklyn last week. The testimony showed that Butter had been delegated to Atkinson to get money from the church people owing to his connections with the ministry. The failure of the Metropolitan Metropolitan and Realty Company Butter has been Atkinson's right-hand man. TO CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY. Dr. C. T. Walker to Speak at Y. M. C. A.

May 8.—The testimonial banquet in honor of Prof. George William Cook held last Friday evening in Miner Hall on the campus of Howard University was the largest function of its kind ever known in the District of Columbia. Covers were held for over two hundred guests and the dining hall was crowded to capacity with appreciative friends of the energetic secretary of Howard University, representing the best brain and culture of the Negro race in the world. Prof. Cook has been identified with the institution for thirty-nine years, having been a valuable service, efficiency and the eastern in which he is held by the people of the community could not be conceived. William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney-General of the United States. Donna was responded to as follows: Howard As She Was, the Rev. Logan Johnson; "Our Guest as a Citizen," Justin Carter of the bar of Hurlsburg, Pa. "Howard As She is," Prof. Kelly Egger; "Our Guest as an Educator," Prof. Wright D. W. Holmes of Haiti College. To all of the many expressions of commendation of his efforts to place Howard in the front rank of education, he was a strong advocate toward the advancement of evidence righteousness. Prof. Cook feeling responsed, taking for his theme, "The Two Ebola," relating the story of how he came to have two seals and desertification human and national uplift for which they stood. His outline of the work that Howard was done since its forty-five years of existence was intensely focused on the larger portion of the historical domain of the hand, was new to many of the guests. His happy triumphs to such eminent founders of Howard as Gen. O. O. Howard, John M. Langston, Dr. Robert Burns and others evoked hearty applause. Just before he spoke, the audience was keyed up to the spirit of the hour by the rendition of a song, "Howard! Howard! Old Howard, by the Howard Academy Quarterly." Charles Howard, Charles W. Preston, Gonzalo James and Lincoln G. Koger. One of the truly delightful treats of the evening was the address of the Hon. John M. Langston, member of Congress from the Buxton Township who was present as a special guest. The closing feature of the program was an original skit, "Facts and Figures: Mears, Robert A. Pelham and Haimel, Benjamin," written by Herbert D. Myers, who operated the lantern and slides used to illustrate the points brought out by the humorists. Many familiar scenes with which Prof. Haimel connected in his life work at Howard connected in his life work to a decided advantage, including portraits of the university workers. George William Cook was born Sunday, January 7, 1855, at Winchester, Mass., of slave parents and himself a slave owner in Virginia in the Banks and Shields retreated in 1857.

Going to St. Louis in 1862 he remained three years he then came to Washington and entered Howard University, October 10, 1874. Prof. Cook spent seven years as a student in the academic department of Howard University, which was upon graduation from the college appended mathematics. Upon the death of Miss B. Briggs in 1879, he became principal of the normal department, which position he held until the abolition of the department. He then took charge of the board of department, which has since developed a commercial department. Prof. Cook has been a member of Howard University for over thirty-eight years and, although a leave of absence was granted him the board of Trustees at the request of the Trustees of the District of Columbia in the industrial Home School at Blue Plains, he did not even then sever his connection with the university, but remained as a paid instructor for limited work.

The Tartt faction was overthrown. Pastor Tartt and the officers were removed and new officers, with exception of 'the pastor, were elected; but the majority of the anti-Tartt faction was small. The thirty men now seeking the right to vote on the election of the pastor are all Tartt men, and if the right they ask is given them the Rev. Tartt's defeat will be reversed, and Tartt and his officers will return the church. A. W.

Smith, and Miss Marie Murphy. Miss Hughes' school is the only one so far honored by a visit to a graduating occasion by the president of the Board of Education. A. M. E. ZION CONFERENCE. Big Fight Over Electing Additional Recommendations Blackwell Makes Recommendations. Special to THE NEW YORK AOR Charlotte, N. C., May 7.—The twenty-fourth quadrennial session of the A. M. E. Zion General Conference, now meeting at Clinton Chapel, has gotten down to business, and the problems of the denomination have come to the fore. The local address of the bishops of the church, read Saturday by Bishop J. W. Alstork, recommended that no more bishops be elected, as the eight prelates were able to do the work of supervising the affairs of the church. The prelates could be devoted to meeting other demands of the connection. This recommendation was met with cries of "no," from many of those who believe that additional bishops should be elected to take the places of Martin R. Smith and J. W. Smith, who have passed away during the past four years. Speaking of the educational work of the denomination, Bishop Alstork said that eleven schools and colleges were under his charge, and he read, "on the size of the splendid Livingston College given by Andrew Carnegie, acquired largely through the influence of Bishop Clinton, J. Edward Minson and Dr. Bloop, Washington, D.C., who was also made of the compilation of Hood Theological Seminary, which cost $20,000, and the high school at Greenville, Ala., which cost $40,000 to build. The recommendations of the bishops, read by Bishop Blackwell, follow in part: That the financial secretary shall dispose of the general claims, monthly, as a fee, of the bishop, $2,500 a year, including his travel expenses to the educational department, $22,500 a year; to church extension, $9,000; to home missions, $7,200; to superimposed ministers, $4,500; to windows and other services; to financial secretary, $12,500 a year.

After every great accident, like the inevitable building fire in New York, or the stinking of the steamship Titanic, current effort is made to find out the causes leading to it, in order that remission may be found to minimise the possibility of such in the future. If there had been a better wireless Marconi service on the ocean steamships most of the people on the Titanic might have been saved. There have been vast changes in the health conditions of New York since the organization of the Metropolitan Health Board in 1866, when the death rate was 90 in a 1,000; last year it was only 15. Epidemic diseases have been made almost impossible by a rigid supervision of contagious disease and the enforcement of wise military rules. Indeed, the conditions of living have been and are greatly improved by medical science and official oversight of the public health problems. --- There are many new business ventures of our sort and another among Negroes in the Harlem district, and those who have started them in a small way should be encouraged in a big way. We have to begin in a small way, but then don't allow to start anything in a small way, and like the little seed planted in the garden and properly nurtured, it will grow to be a large thing. --- The men who mismanaged the Metropolitan Mercantile Realty Company of New York and the True Reformers Grand Mountain of Richmond and have been tried and convicted for their bad faith pay only a part of the penalty for misleading. The institutions they helped to wreck, the confiding investors they helped to decisive, will be a long time recovering, if they ever do, from the misfortune. Our men in business have a greater obligation than white men in business, as they have to protect the confidence of the people, who are slowly but surely developing confidence in their business men. "spoiling" in the public parks of Greater New York by young people who look out upon life through glass made to order for them has always been a special pleasure of the young people and a special trouble for park policemen. New rules are to be issued by the Park Commissioner, if he accepts the advice of official him, by which all suspected "spooning" on entering the park will be given a card of instructions. If they violate them there will be things doing. Time was when the people of Massachusetts were considered as among the most intellectual and cultured in the Nation. They may be so now, in spite of the vast changes that have been worked in the character of the people in the past twenty years by immigrants from Europe, with a low moral and intellectual equipment, and with European notions of running everything from a boot-blacking领治 to the government of the State. Andrew, the Democratic scholar in politics, Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, was swamped in the primary vote last week by Speaker Champ Clark of Illinois, by the Democratic voter James as if the Democrats of Massachusetts are ready to accept and vote for a nominee candidate for President. That is a very significant and interesting indication in American politics that should Negro citizens thoughtful. The question of equal suffrage for women is growing warmer and warmer in Britain and Great Britain, and the Suffragette movement is to be making some bedway to an equal for penn-up womans energy of the talking and historical kind. And it is funding to roughen the gentle manhood of womanhood, so that it is as ready to light as to talk, after the fashion of a sort of manhood. At a Waldorf-Asylum meeting of the National League for Civic Federation of Women, Mrs. Declared the women who are supposed to vote because of their basic ideas of our Government is one man, one gun, one ballot. "Equal suffrage is a perfect force," she declared, "because women now have the voting right their ballot is protected by men. It is absolutely no responsibility behind the woman's vote. But the question is large and has many sides." There is a movement on foot in New York to employ the State convicts on broad building and repairing. It is good that outdoor work will benefit the convicts and relieve the State of the need for their maintenance. It is better that Southern system of leasing the convicts to private individuals and corporations, but it does not sound well and may not work well. It is not said that the Southern bloodhound and the Witchcraft wrist will go along with the program innovation, but we should not be impaired and find ultimately that they would do so. The convict problem is one of the most troublesome mankind have always to deal with, and is still so. But the movement towards bettering the condition of the convicts and of reforming prisoners that they will be better man and they have prison is one that appears to the best in human nature and should be encouraged in all possible ways by good education. THE PARTY HOLL AN INDEX As the campaign for delegates to the Chicago convention progresses the position of THE AGE, taken at the beginning of the contest for delegates, has been justified, that the position of the Negro in the Republican party is not an issue, and that the position he holds in the party depends entirely upon himself. Nowhere in the Northern and Western States is his position in the Republican party questioned; nowhere in the Southern States where his position is questioned is there any party regulation that prevents him from fighting to protect his interests and to have such consideration in the affairs of the party as he can by his numbers and wisdom command. Other sorts of citizens have to fight for the measure, of consideration they get and have in the party of their choice; the Negro is free to do it in the Republican party in every State in the Nation, and especially so. in the Southern States, where he has most of the Republican numbers and should have much of the Republican wisdom. It is interesting, then, to find the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger denouncing. President Taft's Southern policy and declaring that it is "not a question of bread and butter," when effort has been made to show that President Taft's administration has been fair in giving Negro Republicans some show in appointments to Federal positions. It is "a question of bread and butter" all along the line, from the Public Service Corporations at the top to the labor agitators at the bottom clamoring for more special legislation to give them more bread and butter in profits or wages, and from the President seeking a nomination to the poor black man seeking a position as laborer in any department of the government service, that they may have bread and butter, and plenty of it. When the Negro's rights are in question in Maryland the Republican party has stood by him in the past, so that his party standing is no more questioned in Maryland than is President Taft's in Ohio; the question, then, remains one of "bread and butter," a fair measure of representation in the public service, which every citizen so minded has a right to aspire to, as to great and small things, if he be a Republican. If he be a Democrat it is another question. On the other hand, the Richmond Planet construes certain utterances of Col. Roosevelt on his recent trip in North Carolina as a bid for the white Democratic vote and for a break-up of the Solid South, which it claims President Taft has already made, and insists that it is not satisfied with the position of President Taft or Col. Roosevelt on the question of appointing Negroes to Federal positions. Neither is THE AGE, and we have made that plain, and here again emphasize it. There is nothing in the party platform or policy to justify it; it is up to the Negro, then, as a partisan, to fight the individualistic tendency within the party to freeze him out of the Federal service. He can do this better within the party, where he is recognized as a co-equal member, than he can outside the party, where he could have no influence with the party. The highest Federal offices the Negroes have ever held have come to them from President Roosevelt and then from President Taft; we have no grounds, therefore, for suspecting that either of them desires to, freeze the Negroes out of the Federal service. But if they were it is the business of the Negro to stand up for his interests as a partisan, as others do it. BAD DAYS FOR ABYSSINIA. BAD DAYS FOR ABYSSINIA. A few years ago the name of Abyssinia was uppermost in the minds of men as a little country to be reckoned with, as Japan is te-day, because King Menelik, in repelling an army of Italians, slaughtered some 40,000 of them. The catastrophe put an end to Italian designs on Abyssinia, and gave King Menelik a standing in European courts which he retained until his death two years ago. Although the Abyssinians are of Ethiopian and Semitic origin and are largely negroid in type they disclaim being African or black people and resent it when so designated. The word Abyssinia, really means abyss in sin. Since the death of King Menelik, who claimed descent from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, Abyssinia has declined in prestige with foreigners and with orderly government among its people. A Swedish missionary residing in Abyssinia, writing to the Tuskegee International Conference on the Negro, says the country has gone from bad to worse since the death of King Menelik, and that "anarchy has taken the place of rule." He remains at his post, he says, to protect the people of his church work, who are persecuted by the government, which "is very suspicious and imprisons both religious and political persons." He says that "the sons of Africa can be lifted up." That is valuable testimony and the churches of America and Europe should keep it in mind, as far as Abyssinia is concerned. As for African proper, it has long ago been decided by the Churches that the people can be Christianized and the governments of Great Britain, France and Germany have "In Abyssinia there is no one in the present government that cares about the colored people outside their own borders. Out of the midwife tribes and other neighboring tribes great numbers of slaves are taken both for work within Abyssinia and for the slave market abroad. The Abyssinians therefore hold that the lower the people stand the better." There is internal evidence that the Abyssinians are the remnants of the ancient people of Aethiopia. They have demonstrated in recent years that they are, under a wise and energetic ruler, capable of doing great and worthy things in peace and war. It is worth while to give such people as much assistance as possible to save them from themselves. GIVE US STRONG MEN AS BISHOPS. The General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in session at Kansas City, promises to be one of the most memorable in the history of the Church, and, it is generally hoped, one of the wisest and strongest in what it shall say and do for the well being of the Church. The hope that it shall do so is shared by people of African affiliations and interests in the United States, in the West Indies, in Africa and in the islands of the seas, who wish for success of all works that are making, for uplift in their behalf, among which the African Methodist Episcopal Church occupies a foremost place. It is fortunate for the Church, which is called upon to elect three or more bishops, in whom the strength and character of the Church are necessarily reflected, that it has such a strong body of men to draw from as are foremost in the minds of the delegates as aspirants for the high office. It is no disagreement of other aspirants to name Dr. W. W. Beckett of New York, Dr. John Hurst of Maryland, and Dr. J. M. Connor of Arkansas, as among as strong men as any previous General Conference has been able to draw upon for the highest office in the gift of the Church. All of these men have been tried in General Offices of the Church and have made splendid records, independently of their long and successful work as pastors. The Churches should give us the strongest men they have for bishops, as the bishops should stand for the best that there is in Negro worth and character. PENNSYLVANIA COVERED WITH SHAME. The State of Pennsylvania is covered with shame. It admitted as much May 3, at West Chester, when the Attorney General of the State, by his deputy, moved to dismiss the remaining indictments against the Coatesville lynchers of Zack Walker, August 13 last, on the ground that it was impossible to get a jury to convict in Chester County. That is to say, the County of Chester made itself a responsible guilty party after the act of citizens of Chester County and the State made itself, as the final judge in the case, guilty of the crime of the people of Coatesville and Chester County. When a great State like Pennsylvania confesses that it cannot convict and punish the miscreants of a small place like Coatesville for taking a man in the hands of the officers of the law, out of a hospital, and murdering and burning him to a cinder, for the murder of a special policeman, whom it has not been shown did not have a special grudge against the victim, it is sufficient reason why the Christian people of the State should demand that a day of prayer and lamentation be set aside for the whole Commonwealth. A National Afro-American League, with proper financial support behind it, could and would put private detectives on the case and keep them on it, until the needed evidence to convict was secured and the proper Court to convict found. "Who would be free themselves must strike the blow." DR RANSOM FOR EDITOR OF THE REVIEW. The thoughtful people of New York, without regard to denominational lines, will be greatly gratified if the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, now in session at Kansas City, shall deem it wise and good to elect Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, D. D., of New York, as editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, in succession to Dr. H. T. Kealing. As pastor of Bethel Church, in New York, Dr. Ransom has made a splendid record, and as a public spirited citizen he has by his interest and abilities taken a prominent and helpful part in the many efforts to better the conditions of the Negro people in all directions. His zeal and learning and eloquence are acknowledged by all the people of this great city. Dr. Ransom would make a great editor of the A. M. E. Church Review. Negroes in the saloon business many times are forced to run their places in a manner much against their indination, forced to do so by Negroes building up white saloons from 6 to 11 with no insistence on music or songs, but requiring saloons to allow all the attractions. A change good mean improvement. All sorts of explanations are sought and given for the extraordinary conditions that prevail in the cost of living when there never was more food stuffs in the country, a higher average wage scale, or more accumulated earnings in the savings banks, where people of moderate earning capacity who desire to save a penny for the rainy day deposit their savings. There are crucial periods in the history of mankind when conditions arise without apparent cause or possible explanation. Periods of famine, when there is a shortage in everything necessary for food, and of unusually high prices when there is no such shortage, visit mankind in some part or the other of the globe and no satisfactory explanation of the causes of them can be reached by the wisest of men. For instance, a dispatch in the New York Sun, which affects every person in the United States, makes the following analysis of food market: Chicago, April 30.—The cost of living became a more vexing question than ever in Chicago to-day when retail butchers advanced prices on meats. The advance by retailers followed the announcement by wholesalers yesterday of an increase in prices. Not only have meat prices advanced, but flour and other foodstuffs as well. The advance on the better grades of flour in thirty days has been 40 cents. The last advance in the price of meat makes the cost higher than in two years, nor in there any relief in sight. Dealers are that indications point to even higher prices. The weather and the scarcity of corn are blamed by the meat dealers. The packers say the scarcity of corn has made a distinct mark on the quality of beef coming to market, and with quality considered the prices to-day are the highest in twenty years. The wholesalers say the packers are charging more. The packers say the farmers are demanding more. The farmers say corn is too expensive to feed to cattle. So it all works around on the weather man, who did not let enough corn grow. Anyway, the ultimate consumer is paying for the delinquencies of the corn crop. An average for the city puts prices as follows: Round steak, 21 cents; sirloin, 28; tenderloin, 35; leg of lamb, 24; lamb loin, 31; pork loin, 22; pork tenderloin, 33; chicken, 23. These prices show an increase of from three to ten cents a pound over the prices on May 1 last year. Cereals and other products rise in sympathy with the price of meats. The old law that people should eat no flesh with blood in it, or if they do they will have to pay for it, has been disregarded so long and so generally by mankind that it seems to be absurd to call the matter in question, despite the fact that the punishment for doing it comes around at stated periods and makes itself heard and respected. Anyhow, the common sense view is that less flesh should be eaten, and more cereals, when the prices of flesh go so high as to impoverish those of small means and wages who have cultivated an appetite for flesh food and plenty of it. Children particularly should be given more cereal and milk foods and less flesh. It is easy to eat and drink all that a person makes, instead of falling back on common sense eating, with flesh eating cut out entirely as a matter of wisdom as well as common sense, but it is not easy to convince many people that it is true. It was never intended that people, any more than horses and cows and sheep, should eat flesh. Cardinal Gibbons declared not long ago that the American people have become as extravagant in their eating and drinking as were the Roman people when they ruled the world and began first to decline and fall down and out. And Greece and Jerusalem and Egypt and Babylon went out by the same token. Common sense in eating and drinking is necessary to a healthy physical development, but in this country eating and drinking to excess has become a national sin and menace to a healthy citizenship of the immediate future. If the high prices of foodstuffs make people thoughtful along common sense lines it will be some compensation for so much loss and suffering. THE UNITY OF MANKIND. There are a great many people who scout the theory that the human race had a common origin. There are those, even, who maintain that the four shades of color specifically designated in the Scriptures as white, black, red and brown are distinct race types, and are not types of the same parentace. The Brotherhood of Man maintained as the basis of Christian unity and fellowship that has done so much for the progress of mankind everywhere is still the strongest sentiment that makes for peace and progress, whatever may be the anthropological truth as to the origin of races. No people have been benefitted more by the Brotherhood doctrine than the black and dark races of mankind. A remarkable man has appeared in New York from the East, from Persia, who has a message for the people of the West. He is a philosopher who has spent forty years in prison. His name is Abdut Baha Abbas. The venerable teacher, speaking at the Church of the Ascension, said: "I have come, bither, to find that material civilization has progressed," began Abdul Raha Abbas. "The crafts have been perfected, the agricultural sciences improved and material science established. But the civilization of the spirit has been left behind. "The material civilization is like to the come so as to be illuminated. The spiritual civilization is the light in that chlamy. The material and the spiritual should go hand in hand. Jesus Christ came that the world might have the civilization of heaven. He came to breathe the spirit in the body of the world. One of the fundamental supports of the spiritual civilization is the world's oceans of humanity; base of its fright the great peace. The spirit body politic meets the oceans of the world and universal peace. The spirit civilization cannot be accomplished through ordinary means, for the interests of matter and spirit differ. It is evident that it cannot be accomplished through patriotism; this human solidarity is impossible move through a spiritual power. "Man has two wings, the material power given to him and the other the spiritual. With one alone he is powerless. No matter how far material civilization advances it cannot be conductive to great ends. We must strike with all powers for spiritual ends. Humanity is submerged in a sea of materiality and the light of the sun of truth can be seen only dimly. The heavenly civilization is daily making itself manifest and it is my hope that the foundations of this solidarity may be established so that the hearts of the East and the West may be a divine unit so that this world may find peace. May the hearts of men become as mirrors and may the light of truth shine on those mirrors. My request of you is that you put forward your efforts to bring about the peace and unity of all men. I pray God that you may progress." The competition of modern industrial life, which is in reality a form of the worst slavery, makes men selfish in the effort to secure all of their share and as much of the share of their neighbors as possible of the prorata wealth of society, the common stock from which every one must receive his daily bread. In the effort to secure this there is upheaval of the working people in every quarter of the globe. Those who can do so take more than their share, and instead of applying it for the relief of those less fortunate, spend it in high living and the purchase of costly furnishings and ornamentations that excite the wrath of the millions who cannot get enough to eat. That is the tendency always of the selfish desire for material wealth. The growth of it is always greatest in times when the cultivation of the mind is most neglected or disregarded. It is refreshing to have an old man of the East come into the country and by simple and direct speech enunciate anew the truth that it is dangerous to neglect the dictates of the culture of the soul for the desires and delights of the heart, the cravings of the heart for the lusts of the flesh. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT II MARYLAND Col. Roosevelt opened his campaign in Maryland at Salisbury Inst Friday with an appeal to the Negro citizens not to trade their votes, not to sell their votes, but to vote as they believe for their best good and the best good of the country. He did not appeal to them to vote for him but to vote as American citizens who value the ballot for the intrinsic worth of it. This line of argument THE AGE approves, whether advanced by Col. Roosevelt or President Taft. The dishonest voter and the dishonest buyer of votes are equally despicable. At Havre de Grace Col. Roosevelt said: "The only safe ground Americans can take is to treat their fellow man on his worth as a man. It is an outrage to deprive the colored man of this right when he has merited it. It is an outrage not to treat the colored man fairly on his merits. So much for that." The crowd of whites applauded. It is worth while to reproduce the Havre de Grace affirmation of Col. Roosevelt in The Age as a matter of record, and as being the most outspoken expression on the Negro's rights of citizenship that has been made by any of the candidates for the nomination for President this year. EDITORIAL NOTES The Negro in New York can help himself. How? By doing exactly what he is advising his brothers in the South to do. Get into business, all kinds. The Negroes in Harlem are 30,000 strong. Why don't they get a shoe store, hat store or grant's furnishing store. The other fellow is getting the money and giving employment to his own. All you are doing is spending. Negroes can't expect the whites to open opportunities for them. They must do it for themselves. The W-H-C. Theatre stock can be had for $10 a share. You should own a share. The office is at 247 West 46th street. We shall all miss Homer Davenport, the cartoonist, who has just died in New York. His work in various daily newspapers of New York, was long a pleasing and instructive feature. The coal miners seem determined not to reach an understanding with the coal operators, and a strike is possible. Here is a case where a Federal Public Service Commission, in the interest of fair play and of the innocent public, could step in and compel the miners and operators to come to an agreement. The crayfish is a citizen seldom seen by city folks except in his crab development. He lives in the out of the way places of inland waters. The accusation is now made that the living crayfish is responsible for the leakage of the Mississippi level, the flooding of vast areas of land and the destruction of many lives and great wealth all up and down the Mississippi and Red rivers. By boring holes, in which he lives, in the crayfish has let in the water that we maintain the support of the health so that when the flood came the levee gave way. Are men and their health as important as swine and their health? Should we have laws that regulate the health of people as we do to regulate the health of swine? True, we eat swine and do not eat men, according to the accepted theory, and should therefore look after the health of them we eat. What the swine would say about it if he could speak for himself, no man ran, is one of those things we can't even guess at. Senator Owens is advocating a sanitary measure in the Federal Senate, and in answering objections to it he asks if the health of men is not as important as the health of swine. It is a very fine question in physiological metaphysics. Col. William Jennings Bryan has the courage of his convictions, when he has once metational or any one of them to him. In one of his religious talks in New York to men of the Religious Forward Movement, he gave notice, without matter, no, on his enemies, that he would mount them in the next life. He said: "I believe in the resurrection. I am just as sure that I shall live again after death as that I am alive now." Col. Bryan says he is not sure that he will be able to use the knowledge he has in the other world, but he is sure that the things of the body and the things of the brain will drop away, "and only the virtues we have acquired will help us. Then shall the righteous shine, as the day," he is sure. In the main there is just as much confusion about the life that is as about the life that is to come. We have to take most of it as a matter of faith. And what is faith? The word of truth. The shores of fashion get a fall now and then and fall down hard. We somehow sympathize with them when they do. The beels on the shoes of men and women are too high for health or comfort. They throw the body too much on the tweets and thus destroy the equilibrium without which it is impossible to maintain a given position. A young woman near Philadelphia purchased a pair of shoes with French heels. She was not accustomed to them. In breaking them in, when near the top of the stair steps, she unable to grip and receiving other injuries from which she died. Accidents of this sort, and those of less consequence all the time happening, should teach people the lesson intended; that too much heels on shoes, like too much rims on hats, is not wise, but they dumdow dum. Fashion is a tyrant, and he makes them pay him deeply who serve him. A cheerful disposition, a friendly smile, goes as long a way in business as in social life. The man in business who strives to please all those who want to trade with him will make more friends and have more success than the man who is course and acts as if he did not care whether you patronized him or went to some other vendor. A purchaser will go many blocks to patronize a cheerful dealer. Salesmen in the large department stores soon get "on to" a customer's good will by the way they treat him. After an absence from a certain district the writer went into a department store to get some furnishings and he hardly entered the door before the salesman he had known there a year before came to him in a hurry and greeted him by name, and all that. A person with a cheerful disposition and obliging ways will always succeed in whatever business he is engaged, all other things being equal. Our business men, whether new or old at what they are doing, should practice the high art of pleasing customers as a part of the success of their undertakings. Most of them do, but constant practice in doing it is the thing that will count for most in the long run. Cannot Do Without The Age To the Editor of The Ace As you know, your valued paper comes to Rust University, and is placed in the reading room, where the students do their homework. You must say that it is one of the best papers that we receive. We just could not do without The Age, for it is the colored man's guide. T. J. ROGERS, Rust University. SOUTH CAROLINA STATE COLLEGE Institution Closes Sixteenth Year with Successful Commencement Exercises —Twenty-two in Normal Class and Three in College Class. Special to The New York Ace: ORANGEBURG, S. C., May 7. The State College of South Carolina closed its sixteenth year May 1 with one of the most successful commencement exercises in its history. The attendance of visitors and speakers on the occasion was unprecedented and every feature of the closing was carried out without a hitch or blemish. The exercises began April 25 with the work of the preparatory department, and during each successive day something of interest to the patrons of the various departments of the college drew crowds to the college chapel. The declamation contest, the literary societies exhibition, the oratorical contest, the class day exercises, the baccalaureate and religious societies sermons were enjoyed by large audiences. A new feature of the commencement was the splendid demonstrations of the industrial and mechanical departments. This was the order for Tuesday morning and it awakened considerable interest and competition on the part of those participating. Papers on industrialism and demonstrations of the various trades in view of the audience gave variety and zest to the general program, and called forth many commendations from friends of the college on all sides. There are twenty-two trades in the industrial courses, and all of them were well represented on the chapel platform in actual working order that day. The Alumni Association of the college held its annual business meeting Tuesday afternoon, and literary exercises at night. At the close of these exercises the annual banquet was held in the college dining hall, and was attended by a large number of members and invited guests. The Mike R. O'Reilly of Orangeburg, was speaker, and delivered a splendid message to his hearers. Among the graduates of the college are men and women engaged in nearly all honorable business pursuits of life that make for. good American citizenship. The alumni number about 900, and they are scattered all over the United States. Some have, even found work in the islands of the sea, and are contending for the glory of God and the good of man. The climax of the year's work was the graduation. May 1 of a normal class of twenty-two, and a college class of three members. The salutatorian was John. G. R. Garrett of Laurentia, Miss Callie E. Sima, of Orangeburg. The orations, delivered, that day were spoken as the best, ever rendered on similar occasion in the college. The address-to the graduating class was delivered by, Prof. W. H. Hand, of the University of South Carolina, who is State High School Inspector. The following were the successful prize winners of the year: First year normal declamation contest, gold medal, Joseph Felder, of St. Paul, silver medal, Mina Gumie Davis, of Abbeville. Second year normal declamation contest, gold medal, Miss Ellen E. Hainan of Manning; silver medal, W. Brawley of Greenville. Third year normal oration contest, gold medal, James A. Sinton, of Anderson; silver medal, Mina Sula Holman; Orang嶋hung. The degree of master of arts was conferred on Prof. J. C. Whittaker, of the Oklahoma City High School. Prof. Whittaker was formerly a member of the faculty of the college. He is a native of South Carolina. The sermon to the graduating class was delivered by Rev. E. M. Brawley, D. A. president of Morris College, Sumter, S. A. and the sermon to the religious societies was delivered by Rev. W. H. Ayers, of Chester. The trustees of the college met in annual session commencement day and re-elected President R. S. Wilkinson and his entire faculty of teachers. There were no changes in the list for next year. The enrollment of the college this year was 824. Numerous applications are on hand for catalogues from prospective new students wish to enter at the beginning of the session which will begin October 2. He addition to the election of the old teachers professor of agriculture was chosen by the trustees. He is Mr. Benjamin F. Hübert, of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass. UTICA INSTITUTE CLOSES. Special to TWN NEW YORK UTICA, MISS., May 6.—The Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, located at this place, has closed its ninth session, and it was generally agreed by all present that the exercises throughout the week were quite a success. The following gentlemen were present: The Rev. Henry E. Cobb of New York City, who delivered the annual address; Mrs. Cobb, Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute; Bishop Theodore D. Bratton of Jackson, Miss.; D. C. Simmons, Dr. G. E. Ellis, W. B. Powell, Alexander Yates, G. W. Simmons, B. M. Grafton, the Rev. M. Flowers, N. D. Mims, L. F. Green, B. L. Gillis, and many other white gentlemen and ladies from the town of Utica were present. The usual crowd of colored people flocked upon the grounds. The Commencement address by the Rev. Dr. Cobb was pronounced one of the beat ever heard here. It dealt with three topics: (1) Obedience to Law; (2) The Development of Power; (3) The Use of Those Powers in the Place Where God Has Placed the Individual Bishop Bratton delivered a touching address while presenting the diplomas to the persons in the graduating class. This address simply added the fourth to the three already discussed by Dr. Cobb. The Bishop's topic was "The Purpose of Life." Mr. Scott, in his few well-chosen remarks, delivered a touching appeal to the people assembled. At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees in the principal's office at ten o'clock a. m., April 25, the following trustees were elected: Bishop Doreore D. Bratton, Jackson, Miss.; Major W. Millaps, Jackson, Miss.; and D. C. Simmons of Uitea, Miss. Dr. Henry E. Cobb was elected chairman of the board to fill the last vacant by the death of the Rev. R. C. Bedford. The principal's annual report, which was read to the Board of Trustees, showed that this had been the most successful in the history of the institution; it also showed that $25,000 had been collected and expended for running expenses and for improvements since the last annual meeting of the board. Many recommendations were made by the principal, and favorably acted upon by the trustees. William Holmes was given the Charles Banks prize of a twenty-dollar set of tools for progress in pentry, while Louis Patterson was awarded the Sears, Roebuck & Company prize of a handsome watch for pentry. The Yates prize, a large trunk, was awarded to Bessie Williams for the most progress in cooking and James Baker won the prize before for progress in band music, requesting the prize he was given which he did to the delight of all the following persons received the Red Letter Bibles, as a reward for study in subjec tion 2; Simon Mitchell, E. R. Bailh, Louis Patterson, Letitia Morrison deceased by Ernest Holtzclaw. All these prizes are given by friends in the south and in the North to stimulate encourage the young people. MUSIC AND THE STAGE EDITED BY LESTER A. WALTON CONCERT AT CARNEGLE HALL It has long been my wish that the local colored musicians appear in a concert at one of the leading music halls bf. the city and give the white citizen an opportunity to hear music written and-played by colored people. My aspirations in that direction increased after hearing the first concert given by the Chel Club at the Manhattan Casino, and it was not until Thursday evening at Carnegie Hall was my wish gratified. The colored musicians made an excellent showing, and many of their admirers would have been sadly disappointed had the affair been labeled other than a success. At some time or another I have spoken in complimentary terms of the work of all the colored artists appearing on Thursday evening's program, the Clef Club in particular. Were I to comment on each number in detail I fear I would be charged with repetition and lacking in originality. For instance, I have been profuse in my praise of the enjoyable and artistic manner in which the Clef Club previously rendered the majority of selections used Thursday evening. However, it behooves me before going further to confess that I spent most of my time watching the white auditors, as I was particularly anxious to know just what they thought of the concert. It is extremely unfortunate, as well as oftimes inconvenient, that color prejudice, with its inconsistencies and un-American spirit (due in the main to a state of ignorance relative to conditions), is running riotously rampant in this country. It is unfortunate for those who are compelled to battle daily against such unnecessary odds as well as for those who know about as much concerning the home life and qualifications of our colored citizens as a whole as they do of the Hottentot, despite the fact that both races live side by side in this country. So when a golden opportunity is afforded us to show that we are no different from other human beings and that although we possess strong racial characteristics the same as other races still we are making great strides in this great era of civilization and advancement, it is a source of great pleasure to take advantage of such a chance as given Thursday evening at Carnegie Hall. The concert was unique in many respects. Some of the leading white citizens sat in evening dress in seats next to some of our highly respectable colored citizens, who were also in evening clothes. No color line was drawn in any part of the house, both white and colored occupying boxes. Carnegie Hall was packed to the doors with members of both races and hundreds were turned away. Yet no calamity occurred because the colored citizens were not segregated in certain parts of the house as some of our theatre managers think it necessary to do, despite laws forbidding discrimination. And it should not be overlooked that the whites present represented the best element of their race; so did the colored people in attendance. Many white composers and writers do their best to disparage syncopated music, commonly known as ragtime, and do their utmost to show wherein this brand of music does not even merit passing consideration. Yet I noticed that, not until the Cefl Club had played "Pantana" did the audience evince more than ordinary interest. White men and women then looked at each other and smiled, while one lady seated in a prominent box began to beat time industriously with her right hand, which was covered with many costly gems. It was then that after a brief mental soliloquy I was forced to conclude that despite the adverse criticism of many who are unable to play it that syncopation is truly a native product—a style of music of which the Negro is originator, but which is generally popular with all Americans. Although the Clef Club Orchestra of 125 musicians, under the direction of James Reese Europe, assisted by William H. Tyers, was the feature of the program, there were other memorious attractions. J. Rossemond Johnson so pleased in his singing of "Lil Gal" that he was compelled to respond to an encore. Then there was the Poisonian Quintet, consisting of Messrs. Hillard, Hawkes, Sutton, Jones and Foster, which scored a hit despite the fact that the singers were first handicapped by opening with a number more suitable for a rathskeller, "Dearest Memories" and "The Bell of the Lighthouse" evoked hearty applause. A fine appearance was presented by the choir of St. Philip's Church, under Paul C. Bohlen. The choristers won favor in the singing of Coleridge-Taylor's "By the Waters of Babylon" and "Benedictus," from an original masscomposed by Prof. Bohlen. Mrs. Elizabeth Payne was down on the program for two numbers—"Jean," by Harry Burleigh, and "Suwance River." She was pleasing in "Jean," but instead of singing "Suwanee River" as billed, gave as an encore "Mon Coeur s'Ouvre ta Voix," which did not show her at her best. There was one number on the program well worth the price of admission—the rendition of Will Marion Cook's "Swing Along," by the Cef Club chorus, the members singing and playing this delightful Negro melody. There was something invigorating and inspiring in the manner in which "Swing Along" was put on which provoked applause. Three times did the Cef Club musicians sing and play the number before the enthusiastic audience was satisfied. Will Marion Cook rehearsed the men in the song, and it was the hit of the program. The artistic way in which it was rendered bore out the statement often made that classical music is not the only kind that requires preparation and intelligent interpretation. Another number that struck the fancy of the audience was "The Rain Song," by Cook and Rogers, which was one of the hits of "Bandanna Land." The DAVID MANNES Clefites saig and played this number in lively fashion, with "Deacon" Johnson's Martinique Quartet leading the song. The concert was given in the interest of the Music School Settlement for Colored People, of which David Mannes is the moving spirit. Mr. Mannes is a sincere friend of the Negro and believes that the race is going to make an enviable reputation in the musical world. He is devoting time and money to further the project, and it was mainly through his efforts that Carnegie Hall was secured for Thursday evening's entertainment as well as the deep interest manifested by the white citizens. In looking over the list of directors of the settlement school I note that more than three-fourths of the members are white. To my mind it would be a capital idea if the board were composed of half white and half colored at least, taking into consideration that the institution is conducted for colored people. Those who took part in the concert gave their services free, and the members of the Clef Club put in many hours in preparation for an event which should always occasion memories fond and pleasant to those present. SOAP BOX MINSTRELS' SHOW OVER in Philadelphia amusements occupy the attention of the Quakers with marked frequency during the 365 days in the year, but the entertainment of entertainments is the annual minstrel show given by the Soap Box Minstrels. It is for this event that interes get at fever heat and everybody who is an amusement-lover loses excited. Friday evening the "Soap's" made their annual bow to a large and brilliant audience at the Academy of Music. It was the same old story—everybody left the entertainment in a happy frame of mind which was the result the society minstrel men sought. Therefore, everybody was pleased—"tickled to death." Instead of going home or to supper as in the past after the entertainment of the Soap Box Minstrel arrangements had been made for those in the audience to walk into Hortdulcourt Hall, where the largest and most successful dance ever given by colored Philadelphiaans was held. Being within less than one hundred miles from New York the colored residents of the Quaker city have taken on some of the ways of the new Yorkers, and one is the man who has been dance he held after an entertainment. And by the way, New York was well represented as were Walt Disney and neighborhood cities. In giving the dance at Horsecultural Hall after the minstrel show the "Soaps" made history, for it was the first time the colored citizens were allowed to dance the light fantasies to the management is said to have been such that no difficulty will be experienced in the future by representative colorful people in renting the hall. The managers who were bewildered by such a display of beauty, elegance and refinement were heard to state that the dance had been quite an education to the dancers, and that the Negro from types seen in certain sections of the city hanging about on the street corners. But back to the minstrel show! The minstrel first part was chuck full of songs and jokes, and some of the jokes were brand new and had never been unpacked before. After the overture Percy Warfield sang, "I Want to be in Dixie" assisted by chorus, which was followed by "O, You Beautiful Doll" by Robert Montgomery, "There's a Warm Spot in My Heart for Tennessee" was rendered by Oscar Capps and then Lew Booker, the principal soloist of the Scops. Made his usual hit in Mr. Booker's album, he was soloist in "If Every Star Was a Little Pleckaninny," proved profitable as an anpplause-maker and the first part ended with Billy Gratton, who works more and more like a professional, singing "Brass Band Ephraim Jones," assisted by company. In the olo William Grant Lee and J. Thomas Butler, Philadelphia's two leading colored reciters, presented the sketch, "The Littlest Girl," assisted by Oscar Cappa and Miss Cooper. Means, Lee and Butler are talented readers and possess much histrionic ability. Their presentation of "The Littlest Girl" won for them deserved applause through laughter, wishing that the had produced something more true to Negro life. It is difficult for me to understand why our artists invariably select vehicles to display their talent which rep- present the environment of the Caucasian, when Negro life could be depicted with such telling effect. The history of the Negro in this country possesses all the elements of romance that would make a play interesting and entertaining. Sketches depicting Negro life and acted by colored artists who were true with all of us, colored and white and with no other race, and gather material from other races. The more I see our colored artists present sketches and numbers which refer to other races, only, the more I am convinced that we are lacking in race consciousness which must be developed sooner or later. To talk, sing and write about other races to the exclusion of our own does not respect much credit on what we think of our own race. We must be with races—you must first think well of yourself before you can command respect and admiration from others. The laughing hit of the evening was scored by Norris Warwick, Allie Hughes and Henry B. Jones in their lively sketch, "Wanted, An Attendant," the young men creating much laughter. Percy Warfield and William Lancaster, with a little more rehearsing, could do a good dancing act in vaudeville, but my sympathy went out to them Friday evening, for the orchestra was playing one tempo in the were, were playing another. The "Soapy" should, remember that an orchestra is one of the chief accessories to an entertainment and should be given much looking after. Professional performers will tell anyone that an orchestra can make or break an act. Louis Booker had to sing another song after putting over "Myi Heart Cries For You," which ended the program: Those taking part were: Wm. Almond, Dr. Roht, J. Abele Jos. Bassett, Jos. Bassett, Jr., Louis Booker, Geo. Benson, Robt. Haxter, Thos. J. Rutler, Chas. S. Chew, John Cooper, Albert Currey, Geo. Cole, Oscar Cappus, Thos. Doracy, George J. Drye, John Dammond, Wm. H.

Williams, Joseph Williams, Norris Warrick. the staff of the Soap Box Minstrels follows; Billy Gratton, general director; John B. Morris, musical director; Andrew E. Stevens, chairman of the Soap Box Social; Thomas Dorey, treasurer; George Venning, secretary. "WHO WINS" WINS APPLAUSE A N exceedingly good performance of a two-act musical comedy. "Who a two-net musical comedy, "Who Wins" was given under the auspices of the entertainment committee of Hope Day Nursery, Friday May 3, at the New Star Casino. In presenting a musical comedy, Mrs. A. S. Reed, who had charge of the program, inaugurated a new form of entertainment for the Hope Day Nursery patrons. The comedy was written by R. C. McPhearson, Ford Dalmey and Ed Ransom. The musical numbers were staged by Henry S. Creamer. The musical numbers were executed that its nearness to a professional show was commented on by many. Miss Marjorie Spliff, as a city actress, was given rounds of applause when she sang in her own sweet way, "The Game of Life." Thomas Mosely, as a reporter, and Cassio Norwood, as a hotel manager on the stage. Their signal for a laugh. Mosely sang, "The South Pole" and Norwood sang "Nobody's Business." Both numbers went good. Andrew Bishop's singing of "Tell Go the Limit" was received with great applause. He has a good bartonite voice and enunciates well. "That Tempting Tune," or the "Kissamaroo," with Marjoria Sipp and the chorus was the hit of the first act. Benjamin and Miss Georgia Cole are a very pleasing interpretation of the song "What the Flowers Say" "Loving in Pyramid Land" with Bessie Perkinson and chorus had to respond to several encores. Little Vandie Brodie and Ruth Moore were great in the kid song, "Ma and Pa," assisted by the athletic Lauritz Berry, who took the part of a little boy, and Hut-Hutts C. Bishop, Jr. who was a girl. The number provoked much fun. Mine, Lola Robinson Jones, one of New York's favorite soprano singers, sang "Good Bye, Dreams, being the recipient of much applause." The interruption of basketball games was very realistic. His lines gave him the opportunity to show his ability to great advantage. The big success of the musical members was due to the exceptional group of chorus girls and young men, so selden found among conductors. Their dancing was cleverly executed, the singing was excellent and the numbers appropriately costumed.

Davidson as charges not only occurred, before his coming to the Washington schools, but were settled by his predecessors and the Board of Education, as the record of the body shows." The committee's report states further that the committee "has cause to believe that during the whole period of Supt. Davidson's investigation not one specific charge was lodged against Mr. Bruce as proved by the Board of Education, and that not one of the three colored members of the Board submitted a definite and specific charge in writing over his signature"; also, "understand that there has been no seeming discontent shown to the colored members, nor any unnecessary racial lines drawn in the deliberations of the Board of Education." WANTS TO BE DELEGATE. Political Boasses in New Jersey Do Not Want Negro to Go as Delegate to Chicago Convention—Colored Voters Rally Around Magistrate Page. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 8.—The political aspirations of Magistrate William R. Page to go as a delegate to the Republican National Convention has counted quite a stir, and the white political leaders who are not particular about a Negro going from Atlantic City to a delegate are doing their best to similarly adjust matters. Magistrate Page recently filed a petition to go as a delegate to Chicago, and many attempts have been made by the State bosses to get him to withdraw, which he has refused to do. Masters have been more complex because of the activity of the colored persons who have organized and are working to elect Magistrate Page as one of the delegates at the primaries July 28. They say they are entitled to a colored delegate and intend to have one. ARQUES FOR NEGRO KNIGHTS. Reported to THE NEW YORK ACE WASHINGTON, D. C., May 7—Judge Ahn B. Parker appeared in the Supreme Court Friday in defence of the "Male and Pan" Knights of Pythias of Baltimore the Negro lodge, against the "White" Knights. The dispute is over the right of the white and Negro lodge to use the fraternal insignia and emblems. "What I waft to know," said Justice Linton to Judge Parker from the bench without a smile, "is do these lodges use the same goat?" The outburst of merriment which followed disrupted the court's dignity. HONOR GRANT AT PITTSBURGH. Greeted to THE NEW YORK AGE. PETRAMACH, Pa., May 7—Wm. H.
