Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 3.—There were 9,827,766 Negroes in continental United States in 1910, according to a preliminary statement issued by Director Durand of the bureau of the census yesteryear. The report was prepared under the direction of William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population, are subject to revision. Of the total number of blacks 209 per cent, or 2,050,686, were reported as mulatto, that is, according to the census definition, all persons, not full-blooded blacks, having some proportion or perceptible trace of African blood in them. In the District of Columbia the state legislature against 75,572 blacks and 19,836 mulattoes in 1890. The growth of the number of mulattoes does not imply an increasing intermixture between whites and blacks, since children born of marriage between blacks and mulattoes be mulattoes, according to the census definition. It will be seen that Washington has 127,396 Negroes, the Negro population forming more than one-third of the total population. The per cent. increase of mulattoes over the number in 1900 is about equal to the per cent. increase that is shown by the "blacks" for the same period. CALIFORNIA WOMEN Marked Interest in Club Work Since Session of Federation at Los Angeles — Many Departments Being Organized. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. I—The sixth annual convention of the California Federation of Colored Women's Club here recently, has done much to create marked interest among the colored women of the state in club work. When the federation met with Mrs. D. W. Boyer in the chair, thirty clubs were represented and fifty-eight officers and delegates were present. Now more clubs are being formed. Among the many encouraging club reports was that of Sojourner Truth Club of Los Angeles, Mrs. Minnie Scott, president, which in one rally raised $1155 in cash for a working girls' home, which has been purchased and a new building costing $5,000 is to replace the smaller one. The Helping Hand Society of the same city owns four lots and a cottage in Quarte, Cal., supports old homes and is endevouring to build a home for the aged. Mrs. Fannie Warner is president. The Day Nursery of Los Angeles only owes $500 on its property. The Girls' Nautilus Club of Oakland is raising a fund to build a fence around the old people's home at Beulah. The Friday Afternoon Club of San Diego had raised and expended a large sum for worthy charities. The report: from each club showed that the object of the organization was real social service. Reports from state superintendents were listed to with interest. Mrs. Bertha L. Turner, chairman of Domestic Science, had compiled Federation cook book, Mrs. G. M. Warlina, warrior and forestry, had planted trees at oil dfolks' home in Beulah. Cal. and at Allensworth colony. Mrs. Allenworth gave a touching account of her juvenile work. Mrs. G. M. Tillman, second honorary president, read the newspaper account of Virginia Christian, and a petition was telegraphed to the governor of Virginia in the young girls behalf. Among the interesting addresses presented were the following: "Treath and their Relation to Health" an illustrated lecture by Dr. A. C. Garrott of Los Angeles. The Call" by Mrs. Dodge of San Diego "Negro Literature" by Mrs. Katherine D. Tillmann" "Business Opportunities for Duo: Mrs B. E. Turner" "Working Girls Home" by Mr. Scott. An original poem, "A Plea for NEGRO BULL MOOSERS ARE ON THE WAR PATH Hold Big Indignation Meeting in Harlem Wednesday Evening AFTER GLEED'S SCALP Original Benchmark, Man Thish One of Their Number Should be Given More Consideration in Harlem. And now the colored Bull Moosers in Harlem who are still enthusiastic for Col. Roosevelt, despite his letter to Julian Harris advocating the upbuilding of a white man's party in the South, are on the war path. They are not opposed to the Colonel and his campaign managers disregarding the wishes of the colored voters, in the South, but when their interest is affected it is a horse of another color. So Wednesday evening a number of original Bull Moosers met in Harlem and turned on the "foodgates of oratory, in which they did a lot of resolving, talking and arguing, all of which were so sharp that they were greatly incensed and greatly displeased with something the Colonel and his campaign managers had done. What has aroused the ire of many of the original Bull Moosers is that J. R. Gleed has been designated as the "high muck-a-muck" in and about Greater New York. They cannot understand why the head Bull Moosers have become more confidential with Gleed than one of their number, and they point to to how they whooped things up for the Colonel even during the Republican primaries held in New York. These original men claim they were Gleed's behalf than Gleed, and they further point out that Gleed has lived in New York only a few years. First Murmurings of Discontent. The first sign that discontent had broken out in the Roosevelt camp in Harlem, was when J. R. Gleed was sent to represent the colored population of New York at the Bull Moose convention at Chicago. At least five others thought they should have been so signally honored at a convention where colored delegates from the South were barred as venal, and their disappointment was great when the managers at Roosevelt headquarters announced that Gleed had been selected. Gleed managed to get in print while at the convention, and a couple of Moors troubled waters. While no Negro was allowed to second the nomination of Roosevelt, white men and women having been selected to do the nominating. Gleed was permitted to speak a few words in behalf of Gov. Johnson of California, who was nominated for Vice-President. Returning to New York after having cut a "prominent figure" at Chicago, Gleed was the envy of all the original Roosevelt men. Within the last two weeks the people running the Roosevelt campaign have been guilty of other acts which have made the original Boer war a feast of blood. So he must be restrained their anger any longer they agreed to call an indignation meeting, which was held Wednesday evening. There is much speculation as to what Col. Roosevelt and his campaign managers will do with the resolutions adopted at Wednesday evening's meeting, which pathetically charge that the Colonel is forsaking old friends for new and is not acting just right in his square deal theories. When Glenn was sent to Chicago as a delegate to the Bull Moose convention one of the original Roosevelt men registered a complaint, but was told that Col. Roosevelt had not told no person had been a member of the Colored Roosevelt Committee during the primaries should go as a delegate, as the colored committee had had a controversy with the Roosevelt managers over money matters, much to the latter's disgust. IS AGAINST BOOSEVELT. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE NASHVILLE, TENN. Sept. 2—Bishop Joshua H. Jones, former head of Wilberforce University and at present in charge of the ninth district of the African Methodist Church in Tennessee, advises all Negroes to steer clear of Roosevelt and his third party movement, declaring that personally he would rather vote for the late Jefferson Davis, as he, at least, was sincere in what he attempted. "Mr. Roosevelt, instead of being a great conciousness statesman, with Abraham Lincoln and George Washington as his patron saints," said the Bishop, "is merely a politician with a boundless greed for office and glory, swapping hats in any stream that would allow him to rite to his goal. He is neither a Republican after the manner of Lincoln, a democrat after the manner of Champ Clark, nor a Progressive after the manner of La Follette. "His political inconsistencies and political catch-all profession of faith delivered in Chicago will neither fool the Negroes of the North nor the white Democrats of the South." Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Philadelphia, Pa.—A joint agreement exists among the boards of the various city departments that are required to need apply for a position under the civil service in this city. A. J. Kent, 1834 Montgomery street, passed the examination for employ- ment in the water department. He was fifth on the list from which ten or twelve were appointed. Kent was certified along with the rest of the names, and put in an appointment for appointment. Although he was no twelve engineers were appointed, Kent was ignored, the first four above him, and six or seven below him putting the appointments. The most fragrant example of this policy was that of W. J. Benson, 228 West Coulter street, Georgetown, who stood fifth on the list list for the position of warden inspector. Eight appointments were made and he was ignored. A letter was sent him telling him to report for duty, also telling him that his salary, would he $900 per year, that he should report for duty on a certain day. When he appeared on the day specified he was told that the head man was not in, the "head man" is still out. The next on the list is Charles Fred White, the author of "Who's Who in Philadelphia," also a graduate of the law department of the University of Pennsylvania. His name appears on several certified lists, and was the appointed courtroom judge. He was such good luck for Mr. White, who says, "he was refused twice on account of his color. He wrote to Mayor Blankenburg concerning the matter, but he refused to take the matter out of the heads of his various departments. Thus the matter stands, but with that dogged determination that he is filled with, he says, he will take all examinations that come his way. ORDER OF ST. LUKE 61st Annual Convention of the A. M. A.

FIGHT ON SLAUGHTER Special to THE NEW YORK C. E. WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 4—Rumors aloft that Ben J. Davis, of Atlanta, is plotting to take the Odd Fellows' Journal to Atlanta in the event of his election as Grand Master, thereby assuming complete control of the order, seems to have been well founded. Henry P. Slaughter, who was elected to succeed J. C. Ashbury as editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal two years ago, now charges that Davis is doing what he has done to him on the current issue of the Odd Fellows' Journal produces letters showing that Davis has asked Grand Master Morris to remove him. Although the "Old Guard" knew that Slaughter was in the employ of the United States Government when he was chosen at Baltimore, Davis' principal complaint against him is that he is not devoting enough of his time to the affairs of the paper. In commenting on Davis' charge, Editor Slaughter says in the current issue of the Odd Fellows' Journal: "The assertion that Editor Slaughter misused his thirst of subterfuge. That is not why Davis is calling on the editor of the Journal to resign or be kicked out. The reason is otherwise, and Davis knows it, but he has managed (of which he boasts) the real reason. SAID TO BE 122 Special to THE NEW YORK AGE RENO, NEV. Sept. 2—Frank Bocca, a Negro, said to be the oldest man in the West, last Friday celebrated his 122nd birthday.

The remainder were intended in the Board's Correspondent. The deceased who was 74 years old, had been for eight months. He retired from business last October and was succeeded by Robert R. Church, Jr. The Memphis Commercial Appeal gives the following account of Mr. Church's career: The singular circumstance of a Negro, born a slave, rising from cabin bogoon in Mississippi River steamboat to the mastery of a fortune estimated at a million dollars made him spacious character, and the news of his death was received all over the city with expressions of interest and surprise. Begun Life a Slave "Church's life reads like a page torn from fiction. He came to Memphis years ago. Thrift and industry uncommonly marked, coupled with a keen insight and keen business ability, made him quickly recognized as a man of uncommon business ability. His word was as good as his hound. "He came to Memphis from Holly Springs, Mise. For a while he worked around the livery stables here and later he went into the saloon business. Here he got his start. His savings were gradually invested in real estate. One purchase followed another. He saw with a prophetic eye a great city, and he knew that some day his property would be valuable. He rarely if ever sold. Conservative estimates are that he left between 200 and 300 houses in various parts of Memphis. The bank of them are in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards. "According to one in authority, his monthly income from his rentals amounted to $6,000 alone. He owned a subdivision of 135 acres on the Raleigh car line east of Memphis and was founder and first president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, the first Negro financial institution of the city. Church's Park on Beale avenue is also his property." "Though no unusual deeds of charity or munificence are credited to him, yet it is known that he was a charitable man. He lived simply, though he could have easily outshone many a man in the ostentatious display of luxury. He went about his work quietly and kept a poise that marked him as a man of extraordinary common sense. The John Overton, John Gustion and the late Josh. Josiah Patterson were his friends. Sid M. Neyle was his closest adviser. The deceased is survived by a widow, Mrs. Annie Church, two sons, Thomas A. Church, who holds a clerkship with the New York City government, and Robert R. Church, Jr. who is now president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company of this city; Miss Arnette and Mrs. Mary Church-Terrell of Washington, D. C. NEGRO TROOPS FOR FRANCE More Talk About Using Black Soldiers—Many Frenchmen Argue in Favor of Regular Employment of Negro Troops. Advices from Paris, France, state that the idea of making up for the numerical inferiority of the annual French conscription contingent for the army, as compared with that of Germany, by drafting a corps of black troops drawn from regions West Africa into the Continental forces long laughed at, hailed. It will not meet with acceptance awhile. But every now and then the campaign in favor of the scheme is pushed a step forward. Thus, the Governor of French West Africa, having been asked by the War Office for 5000 black troops for Morocco, cabled within forty-eight hours undertaking to supply the required contingent in six months time. On the other hand, a permanent force of native troops is being organized in the colony, whence reinforcements can be drawn when wanted. Le Matin takes these arrangements as a text to argue in favor of the regular employment of black troops. By the New Year France will have over 15,000 men of the latter under arms. By 1914 the force will fall little short of 30%. That is the strength of an army corps, and "France will thus possess twenty-one instead of two, army corps." The Twenty-first Army Corps, if employed in one of war, must necessarily be employed on the European Continent. Now scheme is drafting it into Algeria to enable the French troops stationed there to be available elsewhere, would arrange the Arab population to result. Will European opinion ever stomach the employment of black troops in Europe, or would it be forced if pressed American numbers? France would override European opinion. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, one of the best known modern composers, and the most prominent of Negro composers, died in London, England, September 8. The deceased was one of England's leading writers, and was well known in this country, having made several visits to America. In Washington, D.C., a few years ago, he produced a part of his greatest work—his Hiawatha trilogy—"Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," and was voted a composer of marked ability by both press and public. His last visit to the United States was two seasons ago. Samuel-Coleridge Taylor was born in London, August 15, 1875. He was the son of a physician, a native of Sierra Lone, and an English mother. He studied the violin with J. Beckwith of Croydon, and joined the choir of St. George's Croydon, at the age of ten, as an entered Royal College of Music at a moment of the violin, studied composition with Sir William Strand, and gained a composition scholarship in 1893. ber compositions at the Royal College Students' concerts, such as a nonet and a symphony, the latter given in St. James's Hall in 1896 under Stanford's direction. A quintet for clarinet and strings in F sharp minor, played at the Royal College in 1895, was later performed in Berlin by the Joachim Quaret. A string quartet in D minor dates from 1896. It was in 1898 that the first part of his Hiawatha triology, "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," was produced at the Royal College. The second part, "The Death of Minnehaha," was brought out at the North Staffordshire Festival in the Autumn of 1899, and the third, "Hiawatha's Departure," by the Royal Choral Society, at the Albert Hall on March 22, 1900. In the following May the overture to the whole was heard for the first time. The work, especially the first part, made a great and lasting success, such as has not been rivaled by any composition from Coleride-Taylor's pen. He received many festival commissions after it, including "The Blind Girl of Castle-Cuille" for Leeds in 1901; "Meu-Blane," Sheffield, 1902; and "Kuhla Khan," Handel Society, 1906. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor wrote incidental music for many of the plays which Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree produced at His Majesty's Theatre. This included accompaniments to the dramas "Herod," "Ulysses," "Nero," and "Faust," all by Stephen Phillips. In 1904 he became conductor of the London Handel Society. He visited this country two seasons ago to conduct one of his works at the Litchfield County Festival. This summer he wrote two pieces especially for this festival, one of them a violin concerto, which was performed for the first time there in June by Mme. Maud Powell. He has written a quantity of music for the violin and piano, several songs and one symphony ROSENWALD'S GIFT. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 3—Two things have recently stirred Chicago. First, the meeting of the Business, League, and secondly, the generous gift to Negro education on the part of Julius Rosenwald. In some publications the gift of Mr. Rosenwald to Negro education has been misunderstood. It has been stated by several papers that this gift of $25,000 goes to Tuskegee, which is denied. The money is simply placed into the hands of Booker T. Washington to be distributed as he deems wise among the smaller schools of the South. BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 4—Believing that Maryland can be carried for Taft, Republican leaders here are planning to wage the biggest fight that the state has seen in years. With the election of Phillips Lee Goldsborough to the Governorship last November, accorded to the trick ballots which has led to Democratic majority on the eastside, Northern Maryland came. This situation means that the Republicans will either get a majority or break even in those sections of the state, as the Roosevelt sentiment is not regarded as high.

Several school boys have been secured to cover every section of the city with The Age, which is a novelty, as there are no Negro newbows in Austin but many have been buying cash and making regular purchases, as it will enable them (the boys) to earn more than anything else available. From experience I have found it to be the parents' fault in not letting their boys begin a business that we have been buying papers for generations from white boys, now change and buy from Negro boys and watch the result. Dr. E. W. B. Aber has added to his reality holdings. aug.22-3mo WILBERFORGE UNIVERSITY HAYS HAND POWDER (Aug 8-4t) Mrs. William M. G. Cottage, N. Y. Miss Emma J. Jensen, N. Y. Miss Josephine N.

But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will shrink the skin and end of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one hour but to lay from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic and it makes because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair the Kink-no-more not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound: it is perfectly harmless and will not injure you. It is safe to eat, falling out; positively removes dandruff; promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that is claimed for it or to keep it from falling out. On the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Kink-no-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair. When ordering send registered letter, postal money order or express money order. Liberal inducement is available. For special terms, Enclose 2 cent stamp to reply. Agents wanted everywhere. THE WHITEHEAD HOUSE 25 Atkins Ave. W.

Ransom of New York possesses a type of eloquence which reads as well in cold print as it sounds in hot speech. Sunday afternoon of last week Dr. Ransom went after Col. Roosevelt at Armageddon and made the ratters of Bethel Church rattle with sound. There were many people in the church, ostensibly to celebrate the one hundred and twenty-first anniversary of the revolt of the plantation slaves in Hayti, but Dr. Ransom confined himself for the most part to exposing the dangerous character of Col. Roosevelt as he and his Progressive party affect the Negro citizenship. Among other things Dr. Ransom said: "Rosevelt's promises are as unstable as water. His covenant with the people is a mask for personal ambition; his doctrines are used as beautiful traps to catch the noble, earnest, and inspiring, but unsuspecting. He would make the Constitution easy of amendment, while openly advocating the nullification of the Fifteenth Amendment. He has proved faithless and the fight is on. "Much, but by no means all, that he says about Negro delegates from the South is true. But, if there has been corruption among them, who more than Theodore Roosevelt has profited by the fruits of it in the past. Who more than he has courted and flattered them? Did he not less than three months ago operally bid for their support? Did he not, when President, appoint some of these same men to office and loudly proclaim their high character and efficiency. "No one knows better than he that both in morals and unselfish patronism the Negro delegate has nothing to lose by the most rigid comparison with the white delegates from the same section. Let Mr. Roosevelt point to any man in public life who has done more than he to create or foster these same Southern political conditions which now he so vehemently deplores." Col. Roosevelt cannot complain because Dr. Ransom treats him and his attitude with the severity of truth because Col. Roosevelt has dealt so persistently with the Negro question with the severity of falsehood. The Richmon Planet puts the whole business in a nutshell, as follows: "The Republican Party has been and is successful in the nation for the reason that it has always been the party of right principles. Defeat in a few districts and States in the South, only emphasized its success in other States. Col. Roosevelt has reversed himself. He is champion a party of Progressives in the Northern States and a party of retrogressives in the Southern States. "The Negro-hatnig Southerners are demanding the elimination of the Negroes of the South from the Progressive Party to-day, and they will demand the elimination of the Negroes in the Progressive Party of the North to-morrow. We do not infer that colored men of the higher and better type will remain with the National Progressive Party. If they do remain, it will be with a protest against the principle enunciated by its leader and leader and with the hope that a reversal of the same will follow at another convention of that great organization. It is fortunate for the North Koreans that the Republican party is between them and the class, legislating tendencies of the Democratic and Progressive parties. There has been no change in the policy of continued exact justice for the Negro, which has been the history of the party since 1905. while opposing some ideas, he would use for a square deal in the game by the party, an other element of the party do; if they fail to do it the fault is sheirs, and not the party's. The main thing is that they have as much right in the party as partisan as the whistle partisan have. The white partisan who challenges the right of a black partisan in the party opens the way at once for the black partisan to challenge the white partisan's right. This has not been true in any sense and is not in the Democratic party; this has not been true in any sense, and is not in the Progressive party. Col. Roosevelt is primarily responsible for the fact that it is not true in the Progressive party. Given a free hand in the South the white Progressives will, as the Planet says, bar the Negroes out of the party in the South, and if they should ever get strong enough they will demand that they be barred out of the party in the North and West. As Dr. Ransom says: "The fight is on." Let confusion howl at Armageddon. THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION A "WHITE MAN'S BAR." The American Bar Association, in session at Milwaukee, has placed itself on record as being a "white man's Bar." It has allowed the race prejudice of its Southern membership to triumph over the eternal verities of the Declaration of Independence and the Federal Constitution, the bases of American law and equity, and which should be respected by no class of citizens more faithfully than an American Association of lawyers. The news dispatches of August 27 state the case as follows: Attorney General Wickersham protested against the enforced resignations of Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis, and two other Negro members of the Association. When the Northerners demanded the dropping of the agitation against Lewis and the Southerners demanded their expulsion, Attorney General Wickersham, representing the North in the Department of Justice, and General Bullitt of Kentucky, and former Secretary of War Jacob Dickinson, of Tennessee, representing the South, arranged the compromise, by which Lewis and his Negro associates are recognized as legally elected members of the Association, but no more Negroes can be admitted without sufficient chance for protest on the part of the association at large, thus, in effect, forever drawing the color line in the Association. The measure was "gagged" through and pleased no one, but the next day when Mr. William R. Morris of Minneapolis, one of the three Negroes affected by the action, wired his resignation it was accepted on motion of Joseph Merrill of Thomasville, Ga. Mr. Butler R. Wilson of Massachusetts is the other member affected, and it is generally expected by the white members of the Association that he will resign. We think they should not. They should all remain in the Association and plague it every annual session until the obvious rule has been abolished. The American Bar Association is the last place in which to draw the color line. We shall never get the respectful consideration from the courts to which we are entitled equally with others until we have adequate representation in the judiciary, and we shall have all the more trouble to secure this while the American Bar Association is on record as being opposed to placing Negro lawyers on the same footing with white lawyers. In't the matter of slavery the white South sowed to the whirlwind and reaped a cyclone of Civil War, the most costly and destructive in modern times. In prejudice against free Negroes the white South has been sowing to the whirlwind ever since Gen. Lee surrendered at Appomattox. What will it reap? LIKE PEOPLE. LIKE RULERS. It has been true in all ages, and it is true now, that the human stream, like the water supply of the world, can rise no higher than its source. So, the blood in the body can rise no higher than the top of the skull nor fall any lower than the great toe of the foot. We have said that people of any state will select their rulers on a moral and intellectual level no higher and no lower than they possess, with special reference to the state of South Carolina and its Governor, Cole Low Blease and United States Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman, both of whom have been and are a stench in the nostrils of decent mankind. With two decent men running against him in the primary last week, and in a total vote of 156,000, the largest primary vote in record, Gov. Blease was renominated by a sneaking majority of some 1,000 votes, and Senator Tillman was renominated over his two opponents. It would be difficult to pick out two votes, and more dangerous than Blease and Tillman to represent the state in the two highest offices in the gift of the title citizens so that the conclusions will make. We offer irresistible suppose of 5 million and 100,000 may be made, but there was plenty of effort to purchase them before the convention met and while it was in session. Senator Penrose stood before the Senate Committee that as much as $5,600 a delegate was offered, and that it kept the National Committee busy to prevent the bribers from succeeding in their corrupt purposes. In his letter to Julian Harris, August 3, before the meeting of his Chicago Convention, August 5, Col. Roosevelt made it all too plain that his attitude towards the Southern Negro delegates was largely due to the fact that they refused to bolt to him for love, he does not say for money, at the Republican Convention. It is a great gain for Negro prestige in the general estimation of the people of the world, that the Negro delegates refused to be bribed, when they had a good chance and a big price offered to them. The gain is not affected in the least by Senator Borah's sneer, that such delegates as had to be protected from the temptations of the bribers "could not have had much manhood to appeal to." They had enough not to be bribed, and they had more than those who strove but failed to bribe them. Men of the glib tongue and cynical thought of Senator Borah as to the Negro are worth watching in any situation where cash is needed to control it. We should not be sure he would come out of it with clean hands any more than Senator Dixon appliers to have done it in the delegate assemble before and during the Bull Moose convention. Senator Borah calls himself a Republican. There is a great deal of political honesty in the land that spreads itself grandly in public as a peacock does in the sun, and is loud in its clamor against the corrupt, whose private transactions while drawing a large salary from the government would lead them straight into private life and the contempt of their fellow citizens. THE TRUE IMPORTERS MAK BIG GOOD. It is a real pleasure to notice the fact that the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, with headquarters at Richmond, is gradually recovering from the fearful condition of bankruptcy into which Rev. W. L. Taylor, Mr. R. T. Hill and others led it and themselves somewhat more than a year ago. It looked then, and for months after, as if the powerful institution founded on a rock by Rev. W. W. Browne was down and out for good. The Reformer, the official organ of the order, says: "Last year we started out with new officers and though the hand of death has removed two from earth, and we have lost one by resignation, we are on the road to success. The duty of the hour is to foster and protect that which has been accomplished. We have been long in the throes of agitation, but now we see the light of prosperity, made possible by the wise management of Grand Master Floyd Ross and his corps of able advisers. That which is worthy of perpetuation should be adhered to, so stand firm in the support of those who have been weighed in the balance and found not wanting." The Reformer says, further, that Grand Worthy Master Floyd Ross' work in the past six months has been as follows: Number of new members, 11,327; new Fountains organized, 83; amount collected $55,222.43; amount collected since August 23, 1911, $93,276.63; death claims paid, $38,829.09. This is a very creditable showing, both as to the capability of the new management and the confidence the masses who believe in the organization have shown in backing up the efforts of the management. It will not take many years of such management and backing to place the organization as high in the confidence of financiers and the people as it occupied before it was practically wrecked by dishonest management. THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY IN THE SOUTH. The full truth regarding the action of the Progressive Party as bearing upon the Negro has never been brought to the surface. Mr. Roosevelt's recent editorial in the Outlook expresses his own views and wishes in regard to the Negro in rather a mild and taking form. But Mr. Roosevelt's words are one thing and the action of his friends and supporters in the South are quite another thing. Besides, those who are acting in the interests of Mr. Roosevelt in the South give it out openly that they are acting under his direction. As long as this is true, of course, the Negro in the North cannot be tempted into the support of Mr. Roosevelt, when it is plain that he means to disregard the rights of their brethren in the South. To be more specific: It is a well known fact that Mr. John M. Parker of New Orleans, has charge of Mr. Roosevelt's interests in the South. Mr. Parker has let it be known in season and out of season that he is opposed to the Negro having any part in the Progressive party. Mr. Parker gave instructions to the white men who Thiboddy: because no white man would take up the master of organizing the Progressive party in South Carolina, no convention was held in that state at all, and no delegates sent to Chicago. A number of claim, able colored men like Mr. W. T. Andrews and Dr. Levy offered to lead the movement in South Carolina. But they were soon told by Senator Dixon and others that they were not acceptable because they were black, notwithstanding their high character. The poorest and most characterless white man in South Carolina would have been permitted to have organised the party and to have gone to Chicago as a representative, but the highest type of colored men in South Carolina were turned down simply because the leaders of the Progressive party are best on making it a white man's party in the South and equally bent on deceiving the Negro in the North. The Progressive party suffers again because it does not understand the character of the colored people. Mr. J. R. Glead, for example, is in charge of the interests of this party in New York. But Mr. Glead has only recently come here from Texas, and being a newcomer has scarcely had time to become a voter. In charge of the interests of the colored people in the North he is a more joke. So, long as Mr. Glead lived in Texas, of course he was "incompetent or vowel" but as soon as he comes to New York, according to Mr. Roosevelt's interpretation, he becomes a decent colored voter. The fact is that the Progressive party so far as the colored man is concerned is proceeding upon a false basis, and it will have to "square" itself before it can make much progress with the Negro or with anybody else. SOLDIERS "SHOOT UP TOWN." Soldiers are very much alike, whether they are black ones at Brownsville, Texas, or white ones at Fort Dupont, Delaware. If the people of the neighborhood trust them roughly they will retaliate in kind, and if they are worsted in the mix-up they are likely to go away only to return armed "to shoot up the town." Soldiers are not the best neighbors to have about, in times of peace or war, for social purposes. They are often rough in manners and will make excitement for themselves if others do not make it for them. Several soldiers of the Coast Artillery, at Fort Dupont, went to Dobbinsville, nearby, last week, and in a mix-up with some citizens got the worst of it. They went to Fort Dupont, got their arms and ammunition, and returned to Dobbinsville, and "shot up" the town, firing some one hundred shots. The Mahir house in particular was shot all to pieces. Six of the artillerymen were arrested, and the "shoot up" will be investigated. The two companies will not be discharged impulsively by President Taft, and there is no demand that they shall be. Proper effort will be made to single out the guilty ones, and they will be punished, if found. That is the proper way and juster than the Brownville way. Presidents with too much impulse are unsafe. MR. LEWIS AND THE BAR ASSOCIATION It is a satisfaction to note that through the brave and constant efforts or Attorney General George W. Wickersham, Mr. William H. Lewis and two other colored men have been able to retain their membership in the American Bar Association. We notice that the resolution hearing upon this subject lays down certain conditions to be complied with in the future with regard to persons becoming members of the Association. Of course, Mr. Lewis has nothing to do with the future. His problem was to retain his self-respect and to protect his race and remain a member of the American Bar Association the same as any other American citizen. In this, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Wickersham have won a great victory for justice and civilization and THE AGE thanks Attorney General Wickersham for his strong support in favor of a square deal. EDITORIAL NOTES The voices of the campaigners are loud in the land. Congress has adjourned, after one of the longest sessions in its history, after accomplishing less than any other. Soating a billion dollars and after talking 25,000,000 words. That is the way the Government is run when we have a house divided against itself—the President being Republican, the Senate deadlocked between Republicans, Progressives and Democrats, and the House of Representatives Democratic. There should be a different condition after March 4 next. The death of Mr. George F. T. Cook of Washington, at the age of 75, removes one of the most competent and casted men the race has produced. He was educated at Deerlin College, the public schools for Negroes in the District of Columbia grew up under his superattendency from small beginnings to the large and credible place ALL WELCOME THE OPEN DOOR WALK IN H. R. Russell they now have in the public school system. His father was founder and pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church in Washington, of which the scholarly Dr. F. J. Grimke is now pastor. The Roman Caesar, who was duttoned with moral corruption, insisted that his wife should be without reproach. The Democratic party, which is guilty of more political lying, robery and murder than any other party in the history of the Nation, has asked its "unwashed and unterfired" followers to contribute $2,000,000 in small sums from a nickle to $5,000, with which to defray the expenses of the campaign, but no "tainted money" is desired or will be accepted. As if anything could "taint" the putrefactive body of the Democratic Hay! Shade of Soil, give us honest men. Gov. Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana, the Democratic candidate for Vice-President, like most Virginiaans, is a good campaign talker. Down at Portland, Malne, last week, he said: "Because I am a Democrat I believe in the doctrine of local government." "I believe in vested rights, but I do not believe in vested wrongs." Gov. Marshall believes in those things, for white men, because he is a Democrat, Col. Roosevelt believes in them, for white men, because he is a Progressive, but President Taft believes in them for "all persons, born or nationalized," because he is a Republican. It has now been discovered that American beef retails for less in London than it does in New York, and less by some three cents a pound than English beef in the same market. The high tariff of 27.1-2 per cent, on live cattle and 21.94 per cent, on meat products generally gives the meat packers protection against foreign competition, while leaving them free to buy in the cheapest and to sell in the highest market. It seems always easy to account for the high prices of food stuffs but impossible to find a remedy. The tariff juggery is used by all the trade interests concerned to oppress and rob consumers. The Post Office Department is gradually becoming one of the most inquisitorial departments of the Government. A newspaper cannot be registered on accept certain classes of advertising or pass through the mails unless it says so, and business concern suspected of being crooked can have their mails held up, and their managers failed by it. By a recent order persons who live in places where there is a delivery system may not call at "the general delivery" and get their mails without "explanation," the order being intended to prevent the mails from being used for immoral purposes. The more law we have the less liberty we have. Rowdyism on plenice, excursions and winter places of amusement is always to be decried. The vulgarism of it is as offensive as it is demoralizing. There is much of it in evidence all along the line, and the effort to keep it down should not be relaxed, but doubled. The Savannah Tribute states the case as follows: "It is to be regretted that so many fights and brawls have been the order of the day on some of our recent river boat excursions. It would be a part of wisdom on the part of the promoters of these outings to mark the rowdyies who infest the riber boat from time to time and place a ban on them. As long as they refuse to act decently they should be made to understand that their absence is much more desired than their presence." Former Gov. Pennypacker of Pennsylvania, talking about the question of veracity between Senator Boise Penrose and Col. Roosevelt, says: "I notice that they are calling Roosevelt a liar. That is hardly fair. It is simply impossible for a man who talks as much as Roosevelt does to remember one-tenth of what he says. Colonel Roosevelt is a creature of imbecile. He talks from impulse, and without the consideration of what he is saying. It isn't fair to call a man who does that a willful liar." As Col. Roosevelt is unable to pick out or name an honest man, who is opposed to him, or does not do so, that other men should characterize him as he does them, and with as much show of truth, is but natural. Five hundred Cuban Negroes captured in the late uprising in the province of Oriente have been rounded up in the jails of Havana for safe keeping, as the other jails are already over crowded. The Latin people like to play at revolution, and those who succeed fare sumptuously for a season, while those who fail, if captured, are very sure of having their heads cut off. If the Latin-American people should spend one-half the time in building up their governments that they do in striving to tear them down they would be a great and progressive people. For example, Mexico has lost in the past twelve months of internecine war what she had gained in thirty years of domestic peace. President Diaz ruled with a strong hand for a long period of years, but under him Mexico was prosperous at home and had abundant credit abroad. Lieut. Charles Becker of the Strong Arm Squad, who is under indictment in the Tombs for the murder of Gambler Rosenthal, was a thrifty grafter. The District Attorney has discovered that Becker has fifteen different bank accounts and some $68,615 deposits in nine of them, all made within the past few months. The supposition is that all of it represents taxation of view; over $2,500,000 per annum the Becker Graft Syndicate, it is said, collected. There are plenty of signs that the Nation, from the richest to the poorest, is living too extravagantly, and therefore beyond its wages or income, and resorts to cheats of one sort and another to "make good." Everybody wants to make more, and nobody wants to spend less, so that nobody is satisfied with what he has or earns, but seeks to get more by robbing the next man so that the system of cheating runs through all business and other transactions of life, from the crooked lawmaker to the crooked gambler. FASTIDIOUS LAWYERS (New York Evening World.) Lawyers are queer animals. One would suppose that a class of professional men who depend for support and reputation largely upon the respect and confidence of the community would wish to be popular. Apparently they don't care whether they are popular or not. And the fact is that they are not. The efforts of the American Bar Association to throw out three Negro lawyers from its membership have met with no sympathy from the public. On the other hand, Attorney-General Coleman's insistence that the standing of the colored lawyer should be recognized has received general approval. If the lawyers were as careful about some of their other associations as they are about consorting with dark-skinned members of their own profession, there might be less of the widespread feeling of cynical mistrust that undoubtedly favored them. A little of this commendable mistrust was caused in professional matters where online marks the boundary of shadiness would become them far better than the person intemperate exhibition of race prejudice. Wholesome fear of contamination in other directions might well spread a new light of openness and integrity over the profession, including its brightest crown—the bench. With fear of contamination we might hear less about the need of recalling judges, the need of recalling much toward clearing up the fog of obfuscation and delay, the technical sharp practice which now bewilder and disgust the public, and which even the bar itself professes to deploy. The truth is that at present the average citizen books upon the lawyer as a queer, highly trained creature, indispensable for certain purposes, but disdustedly wryly and unreliable. The average man has an unlawy conviction, often born of experience, that a lawyer's most delight is to run beyond supernatural bounds in his duties, to deal on high-sitting technical duties at short, to spoke in the limbering words of litter. The average man probably owns the average lawyer. Nevertheless, the American Bar Association were to turn a little of the scrupulousness and zeal devoted to kicking out Negro members in the direction of weeding its own garden. It would cut a better figure in the eyes of the nation. POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS Vote and no Noise is what is going to count. So let us do our part as Voter.—Cambridge (Mass.) Advocate.

C.) 18 December. From everywhere comes the grafting news that President Taft has made himself much stronger throughout the country by the manly stand taken by him in vetoing the many bills coming before him which in his judgment deserved to be killed. Coming as it did this critical moment in the great political campaign, shows conclusively that Mr. Taft is by no means the little king who he has been so often styled to be. It takes a lot of courage and manhood to tell the great body of law-makers to their face, by action, that he is not willing to do a thing which he believes to be wrong even to get their support—Rock Hill (S.

At the rate the big fellows are falling in, the little fellows will all be crowded out.—Nashville Globe. So intense is becoming the political prejudice, that even Col. Roosevelt, who has been posing as the Negro's friend and who has so loudly asserted that the door of hope should not be shut in any man's face, has sidestepped the Negro right to a man's chance in the very section, where the feeling is bitterest and the Negro's manhood is put to the severest test.—Newport News (Va.)

VOTES VERBUS MOTHERS Graft, graft, everywhere, with hardly a rift in the cloud of corruption, according to New York papers on police conditions. We are having a sparticat fit of cleaning up. Instead of doing a bit daily, the public prefers to wait until conditions reach the intolerable stage and then with a whoop the purifying process commences. It was the same with the banks, insurance companies, meant trust, infinitude makes you have some folk and religious. They have a grand good spiritual time when rest is on, and think this atones for their grouchiness, selfishness and utter disregard of the golden rule during the rest of the year. Well, how do women figure in this? Why the suffragists are saying if they had a vote things would never have reached the present corrupt stage because women represent honesty, goodness, etc., and under their watchful eye the politician and office-holder would be a long while before deviating from the straight and narrow path, etc., and back to the biblical injunction, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it," which is equivalent to save that the grafter arrived at the grafting age he had a mother. What were her teachings that allowed her son to become a dishonest politician? Why did she not indelibly stamp on the impressible mind of her child the necessity of being honest even to the fraction of an apple or the part of a which sounds like a platitude, but is a law as old as the world. So women are blamed anyhow, for being at the root of the trouble, and its said votes for women are not the remedy. Howler that may be, it's the mother who first directs the faltering footsteps of the little babe; it's the mother who trains and develops the child's knowledge of right and wrong, and upon her largely depends what kind of voter and office holder will take charge of governmental affairs in after years. She can mold him to her liking. Being a suffragist is the important, the best and mother is the biggest and most serious job in all the world. Especially is this true of the colored gopher whose lot is harder than that of other mothers.

Well, if she can't, who can? Maybe the police officers in later years. Then Johnnie will get the rigid discipline she could have saved him from if she had loved him wisely, and not too well. When Johnnie blames her for his predicament, which he will most likely do, her cup of bitterness will indeed be full and running over.

A voice sweet and low is a mark of good breeding. A voice to the contrary is uncouth. As beauty tonics, do not undervalue fresh air and pure water internally and externally. Olive oil is a simple remedy excellent for many ills. If it is taken a sufficient length of time with a dash of lemon, it will clean up liver spots. Being fattening it is splendid for thin people. It is also good as a hair tonic and may be scented with oil of lavender or some other odor. To prevent corns and callouses it may be rubbed in the feet. by B. W.

To the Married Republican Electors of the State of New York: At a meeting of the Republican State Committee on September 15, 1918, the publican State Convention was called to convene at Saratoga Springs on Wednesday, September 15, 1918, for the purpose of sampling candidates for governor of state, comptroller, attorney-general, state treasurer, state engineer and surveyor and two associate judges of the Court of Appeals.

The administration of the affairs of the state since January 1, 1811, when the Democratic party assumed full control, the state became a surrounded wide-spread and positive conviction that a continuation of that control would be criminal to the best interests of the people of New York. The state's laws made that control was clearly disclosed by the result of the election of members of assembly in 1811 when the Democratic plurality of 67,401 for governor of the state was Republican plurality of 104,191. 1811 The opportunity of the electorate to express its determination to make a change in the state government can be achieved by the authority of the Republican party.

Well for amuse a day, and in many this assertion traveling silent organizations appearing at the broad theatre from time to time are not engaged. Both professional and amateur talent K. W. was good in giving the mined entertainment with the result that the old-timers and promoters indulged in a friendly rivalry for applause. To use the terminology of the tail, "the pete out was very fast" and the rhinatum, goat and toothache were temporarily 14 Junta de Comercio de Tenerife forgetten. If any of the performers had an ache or pain they did not mute it known that they had such newcomer company, as each and every minute man skipped about and danced like a two-year-old. Of course it rained Monday evening; in fact it rained Monday afternoon, Monday noon, Monday afternoon and Monday evening. But as it is considered Frog weather when the clouds form our immediate water supply, the amusement levers were not deterred from making Young's Casino their objective point. Strange as it may seem, the more inclement the weather the larger the attendance at entertainments given by The Frozen. Although Young's Casino has held a number of large gatherings since its opening in July, it was not until Monday evening that the capacity of the new announcement plan was tested. Before the performance was concluded hundreds were compelled to stand. Every box was taken. Had another conditions been more favorable the overflow would have found delightful refuge on the roof, but the gutter-gutter of rain drugs is about as much music to the声 of a member of the fair sex all tagged up in floppy dresses and crayon hats as it is to a baseball fan. The entertainment provided by The Frog was to have assisted of a miniature first part, an also and an afterpiece. All but the afterpiece were given in the miniature first part all the miniature men appeared under each, and their make-up was so displeasing that many were not recognized. Why I know this to be true is that my wife did not recognize me, and when a husband can describe his wife in certainty going some. After the overture Frog Skipp, who did himself proud as an instructor, introduced Frog R. C. McFarren, who opened the entertainment by charing "Tennessee," assisted by almost "Mack's" reputation in the past. He been that of a song writer, not a singer, and while his rendition of "Tennessee was productive of an encore, all who know him well, think he will continue to be known as a talented writer rather than a singer. "Canicc," Norwood was the next without, and this youngster put our "None of Your Business" like a professional. He is quite a promising comedian for an amateur. He was followed by William H. Parrell, and song "You're Sweet to Your Mansion Just the Same," a pretty hulled which was well handled. Then came Jesse Clipper of the Clippers, who is considered by many as the next comedian to hand off delivered show Clipper song "Ragtime Vixen," and the more he sang and danced the name the audience applauded. He was applauded to sit down from their examination, after responding to several answers. At this jangle dance handwritten Shipp introducted and sum Sam Creedon Jr., and Henry Trus, Jr., Goodman Henry, Boy got a答应 when interrupted and after he答了 "A Girl Was Made to Love" he received a super gift. As an inquire he may he be given a message—"Molly Green," which challenged more enquiries. Two majors and little—Charlie Hart and the veteran Shen Lincoln, were next interrupted, and they were the principal him-gatherer in the first part. Charlie Hage caught the crowd with "Continuity." For the first time in his career J. Renewald Johnson sang a solo under cook, and he resumed Tess's "Goodbye" with a finish and interpretation which characterizes a trained finger. Sam Lucas had a birthday recently, and he has retreated the age of three more and ten; yet to see him dance about the stage and cut papers would come anyone to judge him a much younger man. The appliance was spontaneous and bitterly after he sang and danced "I Wonder What Was That Court's Game?" He appeared to enjoy his efforts as much as the unlockers. The members of the Gardenia Quintet showed their deep concern in the success of the entertainment by getting an hour off from Reinewebers and going post-haste to Young's Casino, by way of taxis, where they pleasingly tendered several vocal numbers. This quintet would attract favorable attention anywhere. James E. Lightfoot is manager and second hea; James W. Lojegna, first tumor; Clarence Tiadale, second tumor; James Mantell Thomas, first him, and Leon S. Adger, pianist. The minstrel first part closed with the singing of "Most Me Down 'Amoong the Sugar Cane," and a short drill. In the old Kelly and Catlin were very amusing in their sketch, and when they left the stage the audience gave them a big send off. Sam Lucas did a good single turn, and was followed by Hart and Johnson, who entertained in songs, all members going bir. The exotic in "Dusty Madden" made quite a hit, the six men and an equal number of "females" dancing and singing in reminiscent fashion. When they made their exit and were preparing to respond to an encore a special officer stopped to the footlights and announced T that the number closed the evening's entertainment. All the performers were greatly surprised at the conduct of the special officer who stated that he had been instructed by the management to close the performance which had been decided too long. Frog Shipp immediately informed the audience that the after-piece "Slow Foot Pete, or Who Teach'd Lime?" would not be presented, although the members in the cast were ready to go on. Many in the audience requested that The Frogs continue the performance, but the curtain was rung down. In view of the abrupt curtailment of their performance last February at New Star Cinema, which occasioned no little comment, the Frogs regretted last Monday evening's incident, which was as disappointing to them as the hundreds who wanted to see the after-piece, the presentation of which would have taken less than fifteen minutes. The personnel of the minstrel show: Buse—R. C. McPherson, Harrold Harding and Samuel Richardson, Tamworth—Jesse Clipper, Cassie Norwood and Edgar Bailey. End men—first edition, Sam Carter, Jr., and Henry Troy, and second edition, Charles Hart and Sam Lennon. Jane A. Shipp, interborator, J. Ramsbottom Johnson, Capt. Wm. Huntert Jackson, Edward C. Canick, Lester A. Wishen, William H. Farrell, Lauritz Bury, Ralph Thompson and Charlie Gardin. In the exxtet Charlie Hart, R. C. McPherson, Edward C. Canick, Lanritz Bury, William H. Farrell and "Cassie" Hardwood were the men, and Lester A. Wishen, Harrold Harding, Samuel Richardson, Edgar Bailey, Ralph Thompson and Charles Gardin were the dusky actresses. Pred. Wm. Riker's Orchestra, under the direction of James Reese Europe, impaired the music for both the performance and the dancefest. Monday afternoon the matinee dance given by The Frogs was well attended.

Pugh and Lillard and their two female partners have an act which can be referred to in complimentary terms. While their dance is being featured, they also sing well, and the act is well costumed. Pugh is exceedingly nimble on his feet, and Lillard is repeating his former success as tenor soloist. Allen and Cheanau are again together, and they are putting on their old act, which always took at the Crescent.

Labor Day the Cuban Stars got even with Redding for pitching a no-hit game against them at Atlantic City last week with Mendez in the box for the Cubans, by defeating him and his teammates at American League Park 3 to 1 in the first game of a doubleheader. Although six hits were made apiece off Mendez and Redding, the Cubans' hits TO THE PUBLIC THE F Take this method of eruption Take this method of explaining to our friends and patrons the reason for the abrupt discontinuance of our stage performance at Young's Casino, Monday evening, September 2. The Frogs were ready and anxious to conclude their performance, but as arrangements with Mr. Young stipulated that the show close at a specified hour the conditions in the agreement were exacted. At some future date the Frogs hope to present last Monday At some future date the Frogs hope to present last Monday evening's performance complete. Respectfully, Floor Under Management of HENRY S. CREAMER counted when needed. In the second contest with the score a tie, the game was called. BEGINNINGS IN BASEBALL In 1842 and 1843 a number of gentlemen used to get together afternoons to play baseball, the progeny of English rounders and American genius, on a plot of ground in Twenty-seventh street, later occupied by the old Harlem Hallroad depot. Retreating before the relentless northward march of the building contractor, he moved up the north side of Murray Hill, "between the railroad cut and Third avenue." These informal meetings were so popular that in the spring of 1865 Alexander J. Cartwright, an enthusiastic player, proposed organization. In the famous old Knickerbocker Club came into being. As it was evident that the field on Murray Hill would be bogged by street ferry and explored Jersey country for a playing ground, finally settling on the "Elysian Fields" scene of many a spirited battle. The Knickerbocker rules adopted September 23, 1845, are probably the first official playing code the national game ever had. Omitting clauses of clug government, the actual laws of play were: The laws shall be from "honce" to acc The bases shall be from "home" to second base forty-five pages; from first to third base, forty-two pages, eழubistant. The game to consist of twenty-one counts, or aces (runs); but at the conclusion an equal number of hands (innings for each side) must be played. The ball must be pitched, and not thrown. It must be pitched on the field. A ball knocked out of the field, or outside the range of first or third base is foul. Three balls being struck at and missed, or being struck at and out, if not caught is considered fair, and the striker bound to run. If a ball be struck or tipped, and caught on or on the first bound, it is a band out. A player running the bases shall be out if the ball is in the hands of an adversary if the ball is in the hands of the adversary if it before he makes his base; it being understood, however, that in no instance is a ball to be thrown at him. (In "rounders" the ball is thrown at the ball he holds a holder, or if the ball was thrown into the hole at "home" while he was off base.) A ball thrown at "unhinged" is an adversary when wishing or setting the ball before making his base is a hand out. Three hands out, all out. A ball thrown at unhinged is regular turn. (Here is the primal expression for the modern "batting order.") All disputes and differences relative to the plaintiff are the same, the ampire, from which there is no appeal. No. ace (score) or base can be made on a four-strike. A pitcher cannot be put out in making a balloon in a balk -unlined by be by the pitcher. But one base allowed when a ball bounds out of the field when struck and held the entire tournament. And the six games of that bulky and baffling volume the twentieth century rule book! It is primitive, but understandable. Most of the essential details of the modern game are there; but imagine Mr. Tyrus Cobb claiming a "hand" out on his catch of a fly on the first bounce, and Mr. F. Baker's emotions on his face as the ball he boosted out of the grounds is a foul because of the length of its flight. In 1852 another club, the Gotham, was founded, and in rapid succession there sprang into being those names whose mere recital makes the older close his eyes in essay: Eheu furaces, how the years shop in the MK. In 1853 Brooklyn Excelsior and Atlantics of Brooklyn, and the Unions of Morristania, and so mightily did the sport thrive and prosper that by 1866 there were present at the tenth annual convention of the National Association of Baseball Players, held Clinton Hall, New York. December 12, representatives of 200 years of associations comprising in additional 200 clubs. Enterprise, Resolute, Eagle, Executor were popular names. Philadelphia had its Athletics, then as now renowned. New Jersey clubs were the Americans and Newark of Newark. Olympic of Paterson, Monmouth of Holoken, Atlantic of Ponton, Ellsworth of Newark, Balmwick, Chatham of Jersey City, Resolute of Elizabeth, Sea Side of Long Branch, Kearny of Railway. West Virginia had a Hunkidkib Club. Kansas a Frontier, Oregon a Pioneer, and Ohio a Buckeye Club. Gay, not to say gaudy, were the uniforms. The Knickertseckers wore blue woolen "pants," white channel shirts with black leather belts. Gotham was resplendent in red, white and blue. The Unions sported a tricolored web belt, the Eck- THE FROGS. Headquarters: 109 West 133rd St., New York All our Friends in and out of the city are invited.
