BANQUET TO BISHOP WALTERS Citizens of Greater New York and Vicinity Honor Churchman NON - PARTISAN AFFAIR Republicans, Democrats and Pro- gressives Assemble at Young's Casino Wednesday Evening Bishop Walters tells Banqueters That He Believes Democratic Administration Will Be Considerate of Negro. Bishop Alexander Walters of the A. M. E. Zion Church, was guest of honor at a banquet given by the citizens of Greater New York and vicinity Wednesday evening at Young's Casino, 134th street and Park avenue. While the gathering was non-partisan in its makeup, Republicans, Democrats and Progressives being present in goodly numbers, more than ordinary political significance was attached to the affair, as the occasion marked the first public acknowledgment of Bishop Walters as the new political leader of his race for BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS the incoming Democratic administration at Washington. The banquet was largely attended and the race was represented in all walks of life. Well known divines, professional and business men and those actively engaged in politics broke bread together, and the speakers were profuse in their complimentary references to Bishop Walters. Young's Casino was tastefully decorated, and the cut flowers and potted plants on the tables aided greatly in making the scene an inviting one. The somber evening clothes of the male guests were in direct contrast to the bright, attractive costumes of the ladies present. Counselor James L. Curtis creditably performed the duties of toastmaster. In starting the speechmaking Counselor Curtis said in part: "Just as an all-wise Providence has conserved in the bowels of the earth the material means of sustenance for the human race, to be economically dispensed at different stages in the world's history, to meet the demands of existing exigencies, so an inestutable God has ever held in reserve a man possessed of certain qualities and attributes to be called forth from the mound of time when in the course of human events the public weal demands the appearance of such a personality to advance a cause or promote a great undertaking. "The present exigencies demand that an unstinted, courageous and able advocate of the rights of the Negro race, step forth in the spotlight of the drama of American life to play this role. In the personality of our distinguished guest of honor, with the connexion and infidelity belonging only to the Diety, God has called forth Bishop James Ammons to perform this mighty task. To those who have traveled from New York to Liverpool it is a well known fact that after the regular pilot on the ocean liner has safely piloted the ship across the blood expanse, a few miles before the ship made the Liverpool landing, a special mission is brought to the ship to pilot the liner into harbor, because of shifts in the treacherous currents that glide. So, when this race of ours made other pilots have traversed the distance, in 1912 in safety and with such confidence we demand the alert brain and body hand of a special pilot, to meet another extra hazardous conditions, and a pilot the Negro race is proud to take in the person of our distinguished most of honor whom I am proud to call God, and whom I am happy to ac- JAMES L. CURTIS claim my leader, Rt. Rev. Alexander Walters." Bishop Waltera was given an enthusiastic reception when he arose to speak. He said in part: "Mr. Toastmaster and Friends: "I have not words at my command sufficiently adequate to express my thanks to the committee, headed by my good friend, Mr. James L. Curtin, for this expression of your confidence and esteem. When I say I most sincerely thank you I but mildly state the gratitude of my heart. "I have been in public life since I was fifteen year old. Ever struggling an best I could for the rights of my people. When I entered the ministry many of my friends urged me to give my politics as they well did in it. I told them that if to speak out in behalf of an oppressed people and to urge men to vote for men and measures which I had deemed best for the interest of my race, was politics, then I would continue in it. "When I was elevated to the Bishopric of my church again a number of well-meaning friends advised me to withdraw from public life, or politics, but believing that I ha a mission along the political lines I refused to withdraw. Again no conference, annual or general, no Connecational Council, nor the Board of Bishops of my church as a minister, that they wished me to withdraw from public affairs. And since I have gone until now in this good work, with the approval of my church and conscience. If the church has not called me to flait within the thirty odd years of active service I do not see any reason why I should turn aside from what I believe to be a God-given work because of the criticisms of outsiders. I congratulate my democratic Party of the United States its great triumph of November 5, in the election of Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R. Marshall, President and Vice-President of the United States. In them we have two of the best prepared leaders of the country. I con- NEGROES OR COLORED PEOPLE-WHICH? Prominent Negroes Discuss Question at Banquet Given by Thomas L. Jones, of Washington, D.C. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON, D.C. Dec. 4., At a banquet given by Counselor Thomas L. Jones at his residence, 1901 New Hampshire avenue Northwest, a few evenings ago, the guests became involved in a lengthy discussion on the subject, "Shall We Call Ourselves Negroes or Colored People?" The banquet was attended by some of the leading Negro residents of the Capital city. Dr. John R. Francis, one of the most prominent of the local Negro physicians, declared that colored people was preferred, but he met bitter opposition from Ralph W. Tyler, the Negro auditor for the Navy Department. The question had equal support among those present, and after some discussion the subject was dropped for a more pleasant one. Among those present at the banquet were Judge Robert H. Terrell, who presided as toastmaster; J. P. Napier, register of the Treasury Department; Auditor Tyler, Dr. Francis, Prof. Kelly Miller, of the Howard University; Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of schools; Calvin Chase, the Rev. S. T. Brown, the Rev. Dr. T. L. Garner, George W. Cook, Frank P. Plumber, Walter Wellebourne, Prof. Tillis, J. C. Thomas, Jr. of New York, and R.W. Thompson. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4- Negro writers employed in the various late's and early's of Washington are considering the establishment of a school for writers, where those desiring to engage in this employment, as well as men already working, may become proficient in the matters of good service. A meeting will last week in the lecture room of St. John Baptist Church with all officers and waiters in at least one at which the establishment of such a school was discussed, and preliminary steps were taken. At the meeting preliminary steps were taken for the organization of a Waiters Educational Society, and A. H. Underdown was chosen temporary president with C. J. Cole temporary secretary. Mardi Gras and Fancy Dress Carnival Given By Eutopia Neighborhood Club Largely Attended. Crowned as king and yet not a king was the peculiar experience of Cassio Norwood at the Mardi Gras and Fancy Dress Carnival of the Utopia Neighborhood Club at the New Star Casino Friday evening. Ordinarily kings are kings by the divine right of family inheritance, and they are deprived of their thrones only through final dissolution of their earthly tabernacles, from natural causes, sudden death by violence, forced abdication by more powerful claimants for their throne, or by the revolutionary uprising of their ill-governed subjects. Mr. Norwood owed his elevation to the kingly estate and his disposal therefrom to other and entirely different causes. A feature of the Mardi Gras was the casting of a popular vote for king and queen of the Carnival. Cassio Norwood was a candidate, and a very popular one. There were five other candidates, and their friends were just as desirous that they should have this honor. The balloting finished and votes counted; announcement was made by the official announcer, Wm. H. Vaughn. The crowd was large and the excitement was intense. The vote as announced was misunderstood by some of the anxious friends of Mr. Norwood, and information was given Mrs. A. S. Reed, president of the club, that he had received the highest number of votes. Mrs. Reed immediately instructed Mr. Norwood to don his kingly robes and take place in the procession which would lead him to the throne. Howe, Johnson was counted and the one actually receiving the highest number of votes, demanded a recall of the supposed-to-be king, claiming that the throne was his by virtue of receiving the largest number of votes cast. The claim of Mr. Johnson was referred to the supervisor of election, Arthur W. Handy, but in the meantime the coronation ceremony went merrily on and Mr. Norwood, amidst scenes of pomp and glory, received the regal emblems of his high estate. Mr. Johnson's claims were founded in fact. He had received the highest number of votes east, and his kingly dignities and honors had been wrongly given to another. There was little salve or palliation for wounded ambitions, but such as was contained in the award of a prize of $10 in gold, which was provided for the successful contestant, was given to Harvey Johnson. The contest for the queen was hotly contested, but the honors went to Miss Minnie Cherry, who made a charming picture in her queenly habiliments, although the consciousness caused noticeable nervousness on her part. She was also awarded $10 in gold. The vote was as follows: For king—Harvey Johnson, 241; Cassio Norwood, 173; J. C. Whittaker, 82; Dr. J. S. Williams, 62; H. O. Harding, 41; E. A. Nichols, 28. For queen—Miss Minnie Cherhy, 383; Miss Bessie Perkinson, 310; Miss Bessie Pike, 136; Miss Lillian Dickerson, 82; Miss Marian Johnson, 32; Miss Minnie Johnson, 30. The Man Farthest Down By Booker T. Washington Author of "Up from Slavery," "My Larger Education" This is the record of a trip made by Dr. W. W. the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and illuminating book. For there is no one whose knowledge and understanding enables him really to depict the man farthest down like the author of Slavery; and the great beauty of it is that it is filled with optimistic observations founded on solid fact as as "Bad as conditions are in some places, I do not visit any place where things are not better made some years ago." His journey was a journey saddest spectacles in European life. As he says: will think, perhaps, that everything I was look commonplace or bad, and that I avoided every nary or worth while looking at. My only excuse in fact, not looking for the best but for the worst hunting for the man farthest down." The inspire book is that, having found the man farthest down an abundance of hope for him. This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washington for the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and it is a most illuminating book. For there is no one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the conditions of the man farthest down like the author of "Up From Slavery," and the great beauty of it is that it is filled with such optimistic observations founded on solid fact and deduction as "Bad as conditions are in some places, I don't think that I visited any place where things are not better now than they were some years ago." His journey was a journey among the saddest spectacles in European life. As he says: "Some people will think, perhaps, that everything I was looking for was commonplace or bad, and that I avoided everything extraordinary or worth while looking at. My only excuse is that I was in fact, not looking for the best but for the worst. I was hunting for the man farthest down." The inspiration of the book is that, having found the man farthest down, he shows an abundance of hope for him. With Frontispiece Map Net $1.50 Doubleday, Page & Co. Garden City new 2nd New York THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1912 The Mardi Gras and Carnival. The program was divided into three parts. The first part was a program of dance music rendered by the New Amsterdam Orchestra, H. Gladstone Marshall conducting, during which the folks enjoyed 'themselves dancing'. At 12 o'clock, midnight, came the beginning of part two, which embraced the coronation exercises. Henry S. Creamer staged the entire production, and his efforts were highly successful. During these exercises the orchestra was conducted by Will H. Tyerg The program opened with a drill by the carnival girls, a group of twelve daity little misses, garbed in white and red. They wore white fur-trimmed hussar coats, with red shirt, shoes and stockings, and red Rudolph caps. As they moved gracefully through the intricacies of the drill a spotlight flashed vari-colored lights over their ranks, producing a beautiful color effect. The young ladies, were Missen Myers, Elsie Gardeen, Katie Wilson, Ethel Gardeen, Eola Chichester, Gretchen Ten Eyke, Luett Chichester; Elestine Perkins, Eileen Brown, Elsie Prime, Maud Palmer, Cordelia Garner. The second number on the program was the coronation profession, led by Wm. H. Vaughn, announcer, and Henry S. Creamer, court clown. Next came the carnival girls, accompanied by twelve toreadors, as follows: Ellton Wilson, Harold Parker, Clarence West, Robert Waller, Bert Piles, Oscar Heylinger, Harold Harding, Granville Green, Edgar Perkinson, Percy Lee, Gersham Myers, Gardner Jackson, flower girls, Rosaline Jorden, Consola Tupe; king and queen; pages, Rozier Hansborough, Robbie Lee. Odessa Warren Grey, queen of the Carnival last year, crowned the king and queen. Baby Helena Sheldon Johnson, Brooklyn, daughter of Mae Wells, of the team of Johnson-Wells, gave a realistic and impressive impersonation of Bothwell Brown's "Serpent of the Nile," to the music of the "Sun Dance." "Dance of the Fireflies." The "Dance of the Fireflies," originated, named and costumed by Mrs. E. L. McCall, was rendered by the twelve carnival girls. The costumes were sheer gowns of red silk games over red tights, red shoes, and wings tipped with silver spangles. The costumes were designed and made by Mrs. McCall, who also selected the girls to participate. The music was Will Tyern "Dance of the Fireflies." Miss Cordelia Garnett, the embodiment of the poetry of motion in the "Motor King Dance," and was compelled, as were all the other dancers, to respond to an encore, "King Chanticleer, an eccentric dance," was given by Miss Ruth Cherry. The oddity of their costumes and the unique character of the dance made a hit with the large audience, and they were roundly applauded. The exercises concluded with a mardi gras carnival, in which the membership of the Charity Play Club, comprising the carnival girls and the toreaders, with the members of the Utopia Club who were in fancy costumes, participated. The prize of $10 in gold for the most beautiful costume was awarded to Mrs. Ardelle Taylor. Officers of the Utopia Neighborhood Club are: Mrs. A. S. Reed, president; Mrs. E. L. McCall, vice-president; Mrs. Prince D. Smith, secretary; Mrs. Wm. H. Tyers, financial secretary; Mrs. C. Franklin Taylor, treasurer; Mrs. Mary Terrell, chaplain. The reception committee was Mrs. Ella McCall, chairman; Mrs. Harry Brown; secretary; Mrs. Martha Williams, treasurer, and Mrs. Rosa McLendon. The program girls were Vivian Ward, Pauline Mars, Mae L. Wells, E. Augustus Bishop, Florence Madocer, Minnie Johnson, Wilimena Adams and Ethel Norwood. The proceeds from this entertainment, which will reach goodly proportions, will be turned over to the Sojourner Truth House Committee. Large Amount of Property in New York and Vicinity Being Handled by Negroes — Many Are Doing Well. Continuing the investigation begun last week on conditions within the Negro business interests of New York. The Age representative visited this week several of the representative Negro real estate agents whose offices are located in the Harlem section, and made some inquiries concerning the handling of properties for rental to Negro tenants. Philip A. Payton, Jr., with offices at 67 West 134th street, is the pioneer Negro real estate agent in New York City. He made his first venture in 1900. In reply to a question as to how he succeeded in getting houses to rent to Negro tenants in the beginning, he said: "I was a real estate agent, making a speciality of the management of colored tenement property for nearly a year before I actually succeeded in getting a colored tenement to manage. My first opportunity came as a result of a dispute between two landlords in West 134th street. To 'get even' one of them turned his house over to me to fill with colored tenants. I was successful in renting and managing this house, and after a time I was able to induce other landlords to make the change and give me their houses to manage. By opening for colored tenants first a house in one block and then a house in another I have finally succeeded in securing for the colored people of New York over two hundred and fifty first-class flats and private dwellings, conveniently located as to transportation facilities, etc." Mr. Payton declared that it was only reasonable that colored tenement property should be managed by Negro agents because they would have more real interest, sympathy and respect for their tenants. Asked as to the effect on properties for white tenants when adjacent properties were opened for Negro tenants, Mr. Payton said: "As an illustration of the conditions that existed I cannot do better than test an actual case. I opened a house for Negro tenants at the end of a row of houses occupied by whites. Many of the whites moved, but the most peculiar phase of the affair was that in order to rent to white tenants the apartments on the side next the Negro tenement it was necessary to reduce the rent $4 a month less than on the opposite side, although the apartments were exactly alike. Negro Agents Open in Many Sections. Mr. Payton said also that the Negro agents had opened up sections never dreamed of in the beginning. Among other sections he mentioned West 119th street between Eighth and Manhattan avenues, and West 99th street between Central Park West and Columbus Circle. C. E. Hutchinson has his office at 5 West 134th street, and has six employees who are kept busy attending to the affairs of his office. Mr. Hutchinson was the second Negro to venture into the real estate business, and, like Mr. Payton, he has made a success of it. Two of the largest and wealthiest corporations of the city, one of them being the Ebling Brewing Company, have intrusted to his management all their properties which were bought for investment and rented to Negro tenants. These are million-dollar corporations. Speaking of the growth of his business, Mr. Hutchinson said that he started in the real estate business alone and built it up alone; that he had handled a number of properties he was satisfied no other agent could handle. Not long ago he handled a deal for a certain investor aggregating more than $100,000, and 'the deal was consummated in one day. Some deals he had carried through involved more than a half million dollars. An expert accountant is employed by Mr. Hutchinson, who audits the office books two or three times weekly, and in this way not only are the interests of his clients protected, but he is always able to tell the exact condition of his business. As to the future of the real estate business among the Negroes, Mr. Hutchinson declares that no one can tell what it will be. Its growth has been gradual but healthy and vibrant, and there is really no limit to it. Have Elegant Suite of Offices Nail & Porter are located at 135 West 155th street, in the financial district of the city, situated. The firm is composed of two senior men, Jack Nail and Harry Porter. The firm is partnerless young in the business, this being the first time the firm has been permitted to own the real estate business. The Porter said that the Negro great stranger is not unnoticed by the public. He is standing the Negro great stranger over the day and is always striving hard to break down the prejudice that exists against the Negro as a tenant. It is only the truth appearance on the part of the investor that the Negro is considered understake. The investor is (Continued on Page 7.) ASKS FAIR PLAY FOR NEGRO Ray Ettannard Baker Donoumous Segregation in Large Cities and Says White Man Should be Elevated to Treat Negro Justly. One of the principal speakers who addressed the City Club Monday evening advocating fair play for the Negro and protesting against the segregation of the race in certain districts of the large cities was Ray Stannard Baker, editor of the American Magazine. Mr. Baker declared that in segregating the Negroes and holding them down to the lowest occupations the white people were cultivating race hatred and working great evil to their own social conditions. "I do not know which is worse," he said, "the social disabilities which are placed upon the Negroes or the moral disabilities which we incur in so treating the Negroes. In the words of Booker T. Washington. 'The white man cannot keep the Negro in the gutter without staying there with him.' I often think societies formed to elevate the Negro would do better if their work were directed to elevating the white man to treat the Negro justly." Other speakers were Mrs. Henry Villard and Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. MRS. SUSAN VASHON DEAD. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 3.—The funeral of Mrs. Susan Paul Vashon. 74 years old, widow of the late Prof. Geo. B. Vashon, and mother of John B. Vashon, principal of Delaney School, who died at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening, at her home, 4583 Garfield avenue, was held Monday afternoon from All Saints' Episcopal Church, Garfield avenue and Locust street, to Bellefontaine Cemetery. Rev. C. M. C. Mason conducted the services. Mrs. Vashon was a native of Boston and a grandaughter of the Rev. Thomas Paul, founder of the Belknap Street Baptist Church. She came to St. Louis thirty years ago. She was for several years president of the Missouri Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. In the Civil War she aided in relief work for wounded Negro soldiers in Pittsburgh, Pa. JOHNSON MARRIES AGAIN. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. CHICAGO, Ill. Dec. 3—Jack Johnson and Lucille Cameron, the nineteen-year-old white girl who is said to have caused the champion's first white wife. Etta Duryea Johnson, to commit suicide, were married Tuesday. The ceremony was performed by a minister of the A.M. E. Church and took place at the home the pugilist gave his mother at 344 Wabash avenue, in the presence of twenty friends, white and black, of the preteighter. COTTON SEED OIL MILL IN OPERATION Formal Opening of Mill at Mound Bayou, Miss., Attended by Nearly Ten Thousand Persons Special to THE NEW YORK AGE MEMPHIS, Teum., Dec. 3. Your correspondent was among a considerable group of men and women from Memphis who attended the formal opening of the cottonseed oil mill at Mound Bayou, Miss., a few days ago. Several present were heard to say that they did not believe that the members of our race in the United States appreciated the significance of the starting of this tremendous commercial enterprise by the black people of Mississippi and other parts of the South. Several surprises were in store for the party which went from Memphis to Mound Bayou. All were surprised at the tremendous crowd that gathered in the Negro town to hear the address of Booker T. Washington and to witness the formal opening of the mill by the blowing of the whistle for the first time. There were at least from eight to ten thousand people on the grounds, coming not only from Mississippi, but from Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Illinois, Louisiana and other States. The second thing that surprised the Memphis delegation was the size of the cottonseed oil mill. The visitors had no conception that the buildings were so large or the machinery so costly and complicated. The third element of surprise grew out of the fact that the city of Mound Bayon was found to be much larger than the visitors had expected, and that the end in the day notwithstanding these were thousands of strangers in the city was maintained. Charles Parks, South T. Montgomery, and the officers of the city will allow the gratitude of the most fortunate to be undertaken by black people in the teaching of this course. It is hoped that as it is, the city will do more to the needs of the people. The city is now resting upon the book and the workers deserve and should have the thanks on our race. JAMAICA HARD HIT BY HURRICANE Western Towns Are Wiped Out By Destructive Tropical Wind Storm THOUSANDS HOMELESS Banana Industry Receives Great Set Back Temporarily and Coffee and Sugar Exporters Suffer Property Loss is Great in Leading Western Town—Westmoreland Devastated—Homeless Are Being Cared For. Late details of the recent hurricane in Jamaica, B. W. I., received by THE ACE show that the loss of life and property was greater than first reported. Many western parishes were almost completely destroyed by the storm, and the damage to the banana industry will be great. Montego Bay was hard hit by the hurricane and Lucea, Sav-la-Mar and Greene Island were almost wiped out. The entire parish of Westmoreland has been devastated and thousands are homeless. Every vestige of vegetation was swept away, although hope is expressed that the can crop of the parish will be saved. The Sav-la-Mar Parish church has been partially unroofed and the rectory destroyed. Archdeacon Davis was forced to live in his bath room immediately after the hurricane. St. Paul's Church, Grange Hill Church, Chichester Church, Mountpillar Church, Petersfield Church and the Darlington Church were damaged. At Negril the only building standing is the St. Mary's Church, which is being used to shelter the homeless. The destruction at Little London has been as complete as it was at Savi-la-Mar. The Wesleyan Church, the houses of Messers, Mayer and Goldon, and a shop belonging to the Hon. W. A. S. Vickers were the only structures left standing. At Montego Bay the homeless are being taken care of at the Court House, and many dead bodies have been recovered. Two days after the hurricane thirty-two dead bodies were found. There are at least three-hundred homeless at Montego Bay. There is hardly a banana tree standing at Catadupa and the surrounding districts. The storm at Cambridge was the worst within the memories of the oldest inhabitant. Great damage was done to property and the roads at Black River. All the buildings along the sea front were badly damaged. Among the heaviest losers are W. C. Nash and Co., R. B. Daly, Theo. E. Levy and S. S. Manley. At Montpelier the hurricane wrought havoc, leaving the town a mass of ruins. News from Lacovia, Ipswich, Hayes and Falmouth tell the same old story—that the hurricane damaged many buildings and destroyed bananas, coffee and ginger under cultivation. The Governor of Jamaica has completed an inspection tour of the western end of the island and the Government is providing hundreds with tents. No fear is being expressed over the probability of the needy ones starving, as the storm came at a time when provisions were ripe and ready for reaping. Quite a sum has been raised to aid the homeless. LEAVES $10,000 ESTATE. ALLENTOWN, Pa., Dec. 3.—When the will was probated last week of Caleb Nelson, a former slave, it was discovered he had an estate of upward of $10,000. Born in the South, Nelson was a valet of an officer in Pemberton's army and was captured at Vicksburg during the rest of the war he was a valet on General Grant's staff. For many years he was head waiter at an Almquist hotel. He died aged 80. No one knew until last Wednesday that he had a competence through real estate investments. The deceased made a bequest of $300 in cash and a parlor organ to his niece Theresa Stout, and to his nephew, James Stout $25. To Joseph Green he left his dabbling and $25 in cash, and to Amelia Green, a sister, and her two daughters, Anna and Teresa Green his household goods. Washington Baker friend, of No. 416 North Van Pelgrege Philadelphia, is named as executor and is bequeathed a diamond stud and gold watch. The remainder of the state is to be divided into seven equal shares among Amelia Green, Theresa Green, Anna Mitchell, Le Roy Stout, Walter Stout, Alma Mitchell and Jessie Mitchell. (continued from page 10) sider Mr. Wilson not only a scholar and a patriot but a great statesman whom we will all admire more and more as the years come and go. He has all the elements of a great leader; ability, courage, far-sightedness, and above all a conscience. "His letter to the Negroes of the country, which has been made public, should serve as a guarantee to every black man of the motion that he will be given a square deal, and as the Governor expressed it, absolute justice." "In the Vice-President we have a man of the common people—trained in Statecraft. As governor of the great State of Indiana he has shown himself to be equal to the demands of the hour; an American of whom we can well a-ford to be proud. "I congratulate the National Democratic Committee on the generous manner in which the campaign among the colored people; for its fair treatment of the colored workers employed by it. I congratulate the workers on having such a broad-minded, 60 DR. F. P. ROBBERTS courageous, and fair man at the head of the special bureau as Judge Robert Hudspath of New Jersey. I have never in all my life worked with a fairer, a more considerate man than I found the Judge, to be, and I hope for him a place in the Cabinet, or any other position commensurable with his ability. "I congratulate the men of my race who contributed in no small measure to the success of the ticket. The largest vote ever given by colored men to the National Democratic ticket was cast this year. "I most heartily congratulate the leaders of the National Colored Democratic League for the magnificent showing made for the organization, and I thank them in this presentation of their thank the men who were at the head of the several Bureaus for the splendid work which they accomplished. Task Before Negro Democrats. "First of all it is up to the Negro Democrats of the country to straighten the race out on the word Democracy. When he is elected he at once thinks of Democracy as represented by slavery, defranchement, Jim Crow cars, etc. That is perverted Democracy. Democracy stands for the brotherhood of man, equality before the law, and the rule of the common people. Democracy is the sun in the political firmament, which is to shine more and more as the years come and go. The tendency of the gce is toward Democracy. Destination in nineteen the Balkan war, and the struggle for a larger and broader liberty that is going on in all parts of the world. It is up to the Negro to aid in bringing in America an ideal Democracy. "It is ours to help convert the leaders of the Democratic party, especially the Southern wing of our party, that to grant to the black man his civil and political rights is the wisest thing it can do for the permanent quietness and stability and future prosperity that secures. We must give freedom and great disquietude is to give to every citizen a source deal by he white or black. "The opportunity is ours to demonstrate to the country that the Negro, if he is given fair treatment, will be just as loyal and faithful to the Democratic party as he has been to the Republican party. We ask and expect that no laws criminal to our best interest be enacted against us by a Democratic Congress, and that at the very earliest moment that all laws degrade and humiliate Negroes, simply because of their color and previous condition of servitude, be repealed, and I declare unto you to night that if the Negroes of the North, and of the East and West, and the qualified voters of the South use their ballot wisely, this will be done sooner than some of us expect. "With our leaders the interests of our race should be paramount. No discordant note should be sounded by any black man. No soothing of the consciousness of our enemies, by creating the impression that we do not expect fair treatment from any party which has been elected to the Governor's all labor to create the impression that we expect just as much, if not more, of a Democratic administration as we received at the hands of a Republican administration. "Let us create the impression that every political position now held by a black man, should, in case of the removal Democrat, be represented in a like position he granted in case of a removal. All we ask and all we expect of the incoming administration is a square deal." Again I thank the Committee that has charged him with bank it and the contributors for this should express expression of their confidence and esteem." Toasts Responded To.

No inventor. No hardy believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like Klink-no more. And hair of hair the Klink-no more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But will stop it from falling out; positively removes dandruff, it also removes itchiness and 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 money refunded. We will send to anyone on the receipt of $1.00 or regular size box of Kink-no-more.

HOW THE HIGH COST OF LIV ING IS MADE The Federal and State arbitrators selected to determine the matter have decided that the 30,000 locomotive engineers on the fifty-two railroads operating in the Eastern States shall have a substantial increase in their wage rate per 100-mile run, amounting, it is estimated, to $7,500,000 per annum, although the railroads claim that their present earnings do not warrant the increase. To meet the increase, then, it is intimated, the railroads may be allowed to increase their freight charges. If the earnings of the railroads do not warrant the increase of wages demanded and allowed, why was the increase allowed? Does not such action make for the confiscation of property, which is unconstitutional? If no confiscation works, but the railroads are allowed to increase their freight rates, are not the consumers directly robbed? . . . In the main, Mr. Rockefeller's public benefactions have been received with general approval. They have aided in invaluable work of science, in the search for the causes, and therefore the curses, of diseases which have been age-long enemies of humanity. Rockefeller endowments have helped to promote efficiency in public education, in every grade, from the elementary in the common schools to the post-graduate in the professional. Let us see. Increase in freight rate charges would mean, of course, a material increase in the price of coal and all food stuffs handled by the railroads consigned to wholesale dealers, who in turn would have to raise prices to the retail dealers, and they in turn would have to raise prices to the general consumers, all of whom must be taxed to increase the wages of 30,000 men who now receive higher wage and have shorter hours of work than possibly any other class of skilled laborers in the country; but that is one of the ways by which the high cost of living is made It is an old dodge to pit one good man and his works against another good man and his works for the purpose of discrediting both good men and their good works. This is the purpose of the North American in pitting Mr. Carnegie and his works against Mr. Rockefeller and his works. Every man cannot do it, but it is best that he do it, as Saint Paul did, that he build upon his own foundation and not upon another's. It is that way with Mr. Carnegie and Mr. Rockefeller; each built his fortune upon his own foundation and distributes his wealth in different ways. It is in no wise true that Mr. Carnegie "has nothing to commend him except his millions." Among other things he has this to commend him, that for every ten per cent. of values he created out of Pennsylvania raw material for Andrew Carnegie he created ninety per cent. of fixed values for Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania which were not there before he created them, which are there now, and will be there as long as Pittsburgh is there. His literary contributions have all been for the glorification and upbuilding of the nation, and mark him as a man of genius; while his money contributions to education, to churches, to public libraries and to the promotion of international peace by arbitration mark him as a man of broad and discriminating philanthropy. Far from being a blatant self-seeker after the applause of the rabble, Mr. Carnegie is one of the most modest of men, and distributes his benefactions through Boards, Commissions and Trustees, rather than personally, none but the largest of which are given to the public for information. With the opening of winter and the prevailing high price of coal and food stuffs, due in large part to the exactions of railroads and organized labor, with no increase in the earnings of the average consumer, a threatened increase of prices makes the prospect for the poor anything but promising until the sunshine comes again with the April days. This is all the more distressing because the country was never more wealthy as a whole per capita and richer in the harvest yields than it is today, the export trade alone for the year, it is estimated, being some four hundred million dollars. $12,456,700. During the Presidential campaign just closed the Advisory Committee of the Republican National Committee published a campaign leaflet in which it was shown for the information of the faithful that there are at present some 22,450 Negroes in the Federal public service, receiving annually an aggregate of $12,450,700. There are some people who have not tilted the office seeking and holding Negroes as some sort of a human misfit, as an benefit to himself or his race—in other words, instead of drawing a good race from the Government, should he enter into the highways and hustle to his race and be thankful for any opportunity of setting and housing he could manage to scrape together for himself and his dependents. The argument has not appealed to us, nor have we regarded as being sincere those who have advanced it. But the greatness of Andrew Carnegie lies in, the fact that he has not drawn the race line or the national line in his intellectual comprehension nor in his money giving. Besides the $600,000 he gave Tuskegee Institute he has given thousands of dollars to other Negro churches, schools and libraries not a few. He has not denied the Negro a considerable place in his giving. And his Edinburgh, Scotland, address a few years ago on the American Negro has done more than any other outgiving of a white American in our times to place the Negro in his proper light before the people of Great Britain and the Continent of Europe. He has not denied the Negro a place in his intellectual sympathy and givings. All in all, the world has no nobler son today than Andrew Carnegie of the United States. Service ex-nations in competition with white men and awarded them the pretence to allspirants who the ex-animation states predicted. They are packed more and more who stood the ex-innovations and aming the most intelligent and to-inspired of the citizenship of every community where they live.

At the present wage-earning capacity and business development of every group of 22,440 Negroes it will be many years before one or more of such groups can earn what the office-holding group is earning today. Most of the men of the group are in the classified civil service. They do not own their positions to any party or political poll, but they are indebted to the broad Republican party policy which allowed them to stand the civil become a man; a law of the land; a man and woman will remain as a good asset; but each man and each dollar that escapes will be mighty low down in the service, and they will know it and appreciate it. To say that the race will not be poorer by the loss, in view of the restricted nature of profitable employments open to it, is nonsense. ex-Presidents or their widows has provided a certain degree from a certain class of newspapers which has easily degenerated into personal abuse. The statement made by Mr. Carnegie that his purpose will have been accomplished if Congress shall be induced by his proposition to make proper pension provision for ex-presidents or their widows is ignored or treated with scant courtesy by the sensitive editors who take the position that the nation is offended in its dignity by the offer of a private citizen to pension ex-Presidents or their widows for whom the nation has made no pension provision. As a matter of fact ex-Presidents or their widows cease to be public characters and become private citizens when they leave the White House and are under no compulsion to accept a pension from the government or from a private citizen who has set aside a fund for that purpose. PROF. EVANS A GREAT EDUCA- TOR. The displacement of Prof. W. Bruce Evans, from the principalship of the Armstrong Manual Training school "for the good of the service" is one of those things that happen in the Negro school mix-up in the District of Columbia which need not be taken at its face value, simply because most of them start and end in personal likes and dislikes. The pay and allowances of the President should not be great enough to make the office an object of cupidity, of greed, but they should be sufficiently ample to place the office within the reach of the poor men of great abilities who have not made wealth an object of their life work, but the advancement of learning, the uplift of mankind, the promotion of the useful sciences, such as the poor but great statesmen, presidents of our colleges and universities, and the like. The pay and allowances of the President are not such as to do this; they are not as great as those of the Governors-General of Canada, of India, and the like, and any effort to make them so would raise a public howl that would shake out of power the party responsible for it. It has been that way in every addition Congress has made to the salary of the President and of their own salaries. We cheapen the public service when we allow our public servants pay and allowances which corporations and private concerns allow their division managers. It is claimed that Prof. Evans has outgrown the work, that he is not up to the standard, and the like. Perhaps. We shall not go into that phase of it, which belongs particularly to the School Board, but The Ack can bear testimony to the fact that Prof. Evans has done as much as any other man during the past ten years to bring the Negro public schools of the District of Columbia up to the present high standard of efficiency and usefulness. He has made the Armstrong Training School the great and helpful institution that it is, and his influence with former School Boards enabled him to exercise a large and good influence on the work of the schools other than his own. Take the following from the Philadelphia North American, the chief newspaper of the Progressive party, of which Mr. Andrew Carnegie is not a partisan, as a bit of venom a serpent might hiss at an honest man seeking to do a good deed; says the North American: The Ace is justified in classing Prof Bruce Evans among the great educators of the race. It is now four days since the Carnegie egotism reached its full flower of offensiveness and without even the redeeming qualities of cynicism or of sardonic humor proposed to impose upon ex-Presidents of the United States a pension of $25,000 a year for life. We have searched in vain for any sign of approval of this Carnegie scheme to make the little ironmaster the fair godfather of the United States Government. If a single good word has been said for it, such has escaped our attention. DEATH OF SENATOR RAYNER Some men die at the right time and some die at the wrong time, but as they have nothing to say about when they should die, any more than when they should be born, they cannot be held responsible for what they do, or is done to them, in the matter. Sometimes a man is born before his times and sometimes a long time after, and never gets straight with himself or his times. The misists are of that sort, and are frequently men of such pronounced character that in the effort to get straight with themselves they turn the world and their times upside down. The bloodiest pages in the history of mankind are a record of the doings of such people. We cannot recall any proposition related to public policy that, so far as it has been discussed at all, has induced such universal reprobation. There seems to be a general sentiment that the dignity of the nation has been offended; that one individual who has nothing to commend him except his millions has set himself up as a power so much greater than the republic that he condescends to patronize it. He pits it on the head and says, "Now, if you are a good little boy, I'll give you $25,000 with which to play store." Only, in this instance, the game is not "store," but "statesman." Now, this offended dignity of the nation, this monumental concept of the almsgiver, comprise one phase of the incident well worth considering. Although, to our mind, not by any means the most important phase, it is, however, the most obvious and the most irritating. This feeling is something entirely apart from the revolution to "tainted money" which has been exhibited on several occasions, when Mr. Carnegie's greatest rival as a money-getter, Mr. Ruckefeller, proposed large donations to religious work. The death of Senator Isadar Rayner of Maryland at this time may not provoke any blood letting, but it may deadlock the Republicans and Democrats in the Federal Senate 48 to 48 and cause President-elect Wilson all sorts of trouble in turning Republican office-holders out and putting Democratic office-seekers in, and in inaugurating the Democratic policies President Wilson and his party are pledged to and have their big hearts set upon. "for better or for worse." The Democrats are very sure that Senator Rayner died at the wrong time, as the present Governor of Maryland is a Republican and will appoint a man of his party faith to fill the vacancy. Of the dead statesman it may be said that he was an accomplished lawyer and a finished orator; that he helped break, up the vile Democratic Gorman machine in Maryland politics and opposed the Democratic policy to disfranchise the Negroes of Maryland. Meanwhile such firebands as Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, Senator R. R. Tillman of South Carolina, Senator James K. Vardaman of Mississippi and Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas still live to make trouble for the Government at Washington. SOUTH CAROLINA IN THE CABINET. South Carolina wants a place in President Wilson's Cabinet. Nearly every other Southern State has a similar want where it can get its hands upon it. Captain William E. Gonzales of the Columbia State is the candidate for a place, and the Charleston News and Courier in generous enough to say of him that he has spent his whole life in the study and discussion of public questions. And he does not stand high in the bad-graces of Senator, Benjamin Ryan Tillman and the Tillman tribe. This fact should not be overlooked or underrated. And South Carolina cast her 18 votes for Wilson at Baltimore from start to finish. South Carolina has paid dearly for the work the last member she had in the Cabinet did as a Senator in Congress. She is yet paying the debt contracted by John Caldwell Calhoun as the advocate and chief spokesman of slavery and the slave power in the Federal Senate "The evil men do lives after them the good is off intertwined with their bones." It has been so with John Caldwell Calhoun and with South Carolina, the residuary legatee of his destructive work as a statesman. The Philadelphia Record, the strongest and cleanest Democratic daily newspaper in the country, says [Appointment] this suggestion the interesting foot has been brought out that South Carolina has been proclaimed to be President Tucker John Calhoun Secretary of State in 1844. That is a walk of nearly 20 years, but then it does not produce such intellectual and political leaders as she once did. It is a long step from Pinkney, Laurens, Hyne and Calhoun to Governor Cole Blease. below. For one point, we should be pleased to see Editor Goncalves a member of President Wilson's Cabinet, and he may tell the new President so when he sees him, if he thinks it will help him any in his aspiration. We are sure he would give the Negro civil service employees of his department as square a deal as the conditions of affairs would allow—and the condition of affairs will be difficult enough to tax the marrow out of the nerve of the toughest dispenser of patronage. ST. BENEDICT THE MOOR. By Rev. William Livingston. to the convert gates, near Palermo, a young lay brother came. His skin was black and his garments poor, but the monks had heard his name. They knew how blindness his life had been, how chance were all his ways. For the fair Sicilian land was filled with his glory and his praise. They took him into their heart of hearts, and they thanked the Lord who gave To their humble home this salutary youth, the son of a Negro slave. He had always sought for the lowest mass that the kitchen now was his chiefly. And they bogged their colored cook to be 'both their master and their guide'. Oh, Church of God! 'Tis in you alone all nations and races meet. To know as the aristocrat side by side, at the aristocrat Lord's side. 'Tis in you alone no lines are drawn, that And the men you served were brothers, who would knel to kiss your feet. But the 'arrogant ones who rule to day in Look, their purse proud known pride. For whom the World's Redeemer died. And that the attempted attempt looks on, with anger of blinding. Nor a shout of wrath to wipe it out, our country's only shame. *St. Benedict, after serving many years as a cook, and though only a lay brother, was elected Guardian and afterwards Vicar and Master of the Lay Novices.* A. Crusade Again Crime To the Editor of The Age: I have read with keen interest and hearty approval your editorial of November 21, on "Increase of Necro Criminals." It is a clear call to present duty for the leaders of our race for the church and its ministry should try to gain the power to disperse victory destroy life and property and bring years of shame and disgrace upon families and households. No man whose privilege it is to guide the moral conduct of his fellowmen can look into their faces and feel that he has disregreted the past and the present will be at least warned them of the dangers that beset them and their children through the avenues of crime. Many a mother is broken hearted today because of her son's crimes. Many a father is having his gray hair brought in a sorrow to the grace he has given of the bones of his children. Many a family circle is broken power to be reunited, because some member of its a criminal and a fugitive from justice. There are respectable parents whose children to-day are playing right along the borderland of vice and crime. Many of the people are more smooth as the path to perdition and every year thousands go down into its Many fathers and mothers do not know where their boys and girls go or where they are opening a door through which their children may be best to all usefulness and may possibly swell the number of the settlers of the stream of crime. Many of them are spent in the courts to help defend some beer-drinking, gambling, pistoloting, night carousing, rascal whose crimes have placed him in the watches of the police, and in the family because of the crimes that he has committed. Men are giving the best years of their lives behind prison bars, and the tenth century because of crime. The giant arms of the monster of crime are reaching with grasping greed into the home, the school and the church to reclaim the forces of the army of the strikes. There should be on the part of all our ministers a crusade against crime in every form. The church that remains silent in the face of sin and crime is unworthy to Christians. The Negro is not the only criminal or the greatest criminal, but he does suffer greatly both from his own crimes and from the crimes of other men are magnified through race prejudice and crimes against him are belittled for the same reason. He gets the worst of it, going and coming, Pursued or caught innocent or guilty, and the black man must always look for serious trouble when crime is abroad. If he is innocent, his innocence is more difficult to prove; and if he is guilty, he must be punished. The Negro loses all and gains nothing through crime. The individual losses, because of the loss of liberty and the shame and disgrace brought upon him, make young men whose strength and labor is withdrawn from the substantial and productive activities of the race. Men do not buy homes while in prison. They do not carry on business behind their backs, and they serve the service time. The earning capacity for one year of the Negroes now continues in prison, fails, penitentiaries and main-gangs would produce wealth enough to buy all the Negro banks and banks. Every Negro criminal strengthens the prejudice against his entire race. There is too much crime among us. There are too many Negroes killed by Negroes. There is too much stealing and theft among us. There is too much immorality. There is too much illness, looting and vagrancy. It is to the attack of these evils that the real leadership of the race is called to-day. There must be a crusade against crime. In the home, the school-room and the joblot, there must be ours. We must be ours. No other race has so much to gain by law and order or so much to lose by crimes that may lead to the middled-middle or brutal bloodshed. We must arrest the progress of crime among us. We must scavenge our lives. That that last nearest and that is the most necessary. The Negro ministry can help their people as truly in should be encouraged to do so much good by the growing sense of pride. The black man who can help to learn crime among his race is worth as much to his race as the best man in the field of battle. Robbiepearl said, "I was born to battle against crime." I trust that our leaders may have something of this spirit. We can encourage no more body of honorable violence than to battle the forces of evil that are working within our race. It will be in vain that we build churches and school houses; in vain that we educate our boys and girls; in vain that we maintain our religious organizations, if we cannot check sin, vice and crime.

Two years ago the President of Tuskegee was given leave of absence, on condition that his time should be spent stationation or rest. Being of the temperament of a rest or recreation in illnesses, he straightened to carry but an old plan—to visit Europe for the purpose of investigating conditions among the lower classes, especially in the countries from which he had only two months of cholly come. He had only two months of cholly come. But his collaborator had lived abroad for number of years, and so could advise him as to how to put in his time to the best advantage. Traveling together, both took notes, and Mr. Washington, in particular, knew the book hardly knows how much of this book is his and how much is Mr. Park's. Booker T. Washington's distinction is that he prefers to be a leader of his race rather than his spokesman or the wrongs and disabilities of his people have been more than sufficiently dealt upon, and that the race is going to progress not in proportion as it demands further opportunities, but in proportion it takes advantage of the countries that are clear to him. It is clear that he set out for Europe in the hope of finding proof that the Negro in America is better off, not worse off, so far as opportunity is concerned, and the subject races and classes on his land have been no sooner reached England than evidence began to "come his way." He found that a large number of people were on record as having starved in England, and a car-thing which could not happen in Southern Negro. He found thousands of people who could not get work—a thing unheard of in the South. He found in England and elsewhere that the small farmer were under the thumb of large landowner. Land could not be bought. In the South any hard-working man may become the owner of his own farm in a few years. And so on: he interviewed by Englishmen, to please size the opportunities of the American Negro rather than his wrongs; and found himself called to account by a white American in the London newspaper, the Times, to help the South, for this choice of eminent Mr. Washington's quiet comment on this whole matter is worth quoting: What I am anxious to do is to emphasize some of the advantages which the Southern States have and particularly those living in the Southern States, have at the present time. It is not difficult to discover that Negroes in the South labor. Every traveler who passes through the South sees the conditions existing, and frees themselves from them. There is danger, however, that the opportunities to which I have referred will be overlooked or not fully members of my face till it is too late. Another article of this writer's belief has been made firmer than ever by his observations in Europe. Advocates of the Negro cause have frequently started with the hypothesis that political power is indulgently and the direction for the prosperity of the race in America. Mr. Washington does not believe this is so. The foundation he advocates is composed of moral and industry activity. Various monochrome finds the political freedom is more frequently means less rather than more development in other directions. In Germany and Russian Poland, for example, where the 'Poles are kept in political support' and the 'more unrest' and the 'normal enthusiasm and greater' progress in most ways than in Austrian-Poland, where they have a free hand in the government of the province. The moral he draws from this is that real progress begins with the following: - So in America, in those States where the leaders of the Negro have been encouraged to turn their attention to politics, the musues of the people have not made the same progress that they have been made in their leaders, because of racial prejudices or for other reasons, have been compelled to seek their own salvation in educating and building up, in moral and material directions, the more lowly men and the people have been down to a particular cause. The situation in Mississippi is cited—a state where the Negro has been almost completely cut off from political privilege, yet where the race has made more progress in education and industry than almost anywhere else the country. The upshot of Mr. Washington's observations abroad is that the situation of the black man in America is by no means so exceptional as American men, and more points of resemblance than points of difference between "the man farther down" in America and abroad. And the differences he largely in the direction of superior opportunity on this side of the world, English being better for example, though there has long been political privilege that is, the franchise is virtually anything but free. He cannot buy land to live on, but is huddled into communities and dependent even for his food on other people. He has no economic opportunities make him more dependent than almost any other laboring class in the world. The Socialists think they see a remedy for this condition, but Mr. Shilton's wholly understand the special point of view evidently because it is broad upon a theory of lifting from the bottom. It is a great silent revolution, beginning from the bottom where the process throughout Europe—New York Times. Miss Martel will answer through this column questions of interest to women. Address her in care of The Age. AIDS TO BEAUTY BY MAY MARTEL A few years ago the woman who used artificial aids to beautify herself was viewed askance by the public. If nature was stingy with her gifts and one's portion consisted of sallow skin, pitifully short tresses and appearance generally unprepossessing and unattractive, woe be to the dissatisfied woman who attempted to remedy these imperfections by false hair, face powder, rogue, or other such like "gay deceivers." The world frowned upon the deception. Today things have changed; women are beauty mad, and are employing every means under the sun to improve their looks. "Common sense is in the discard, and "fake" beauty doctors flourish. This is more especially true among white than colored women. The public is very lenient with mildly's weakness, and knows that it is useless to say "don't" when she will therefore so long as she doesn't outrage nature too much by her artificial looks—which is the great crime—it admires or simply tolerates. Therefore, ladies, if you employ these beauty aids, give some thought how best to use them. The woman who does so will not insult good taste by smearing rouge on her face in the manner of a painted Indian going forth to war. Such a make-up is not pleasing to the eye since it is thoroughly unnatural; besides, one is likely to be placed in a class, of women to which she would indignantly deny belonging. Nor is there anything pretty about a countenance which is ashy from too much face powder. There is now a face powder on the market which is designed for colored women, and harmonizes with their color better than the white tints most commonly used. Bonaparte-Grant Nuptials Miss Eloise E. Grantand Gabriel Bonaparte, Charleston, S.C., were married by the Rev. W. R. Lawton, pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church, New York City, at his home in Brooklyn on Thursday evening, November 25.

Hotel News and Happenings Edward J. Hoskins, who was recently made chief of the bellmen in the Hotel Van Courtlandt, is one of the youngest head hallmen in Great New York. He first started in business under his father in the old Kimball House, Atlanta, Ga. Since coming East a few years ago he has worked in many of the prominent hotels, both in New York and in Florida. His motto is promptness, neatness and strict adherence to business at all times. His crew are as follows: Leroy Williams, Richard W. Horton, Elmer Haskins, V. R. Horton, Chas, Crusoe, Wm, Wright, Joseph Davis, Henry Wynne, Geo. Gibba, Daniel R. Glover, James C. Denham and Chas, Sandera. John F. Lopez is now second waiter in the Hotel Burkley, 5th avenue and 9th street. George Coagal, for many years head hallman in the Hotel Endecott, is nowporter in the service of the Pullman company. Thomas Small and Fred R. Wilson, both offthe known in the hotel circles, died recently. Robert Pace will be in charge as head hallman at the Breakers Hotel, Palm Beach, Fla., this winter. Noah W. Morris has resigned as chairman of the House Committee of the Hotel Bellman's Beneficial Association and has gone South where he will make his home. He was a faithful worker and is due credit for his efforts to bring the association to its present standing. The two nominating committees of the H. R.

Love's Language. There is a phrase in every tongue, to every heart the same; In English 'tis "I love you, dear!" in English 'tis "I love you." French tis 'je vous ame!' In German 'tis "Ich liebe dich!" In Latin, "Amo Te!" But the words don't really matter; it's WHO says them and—the WAY! There is a world-wide token, symbolical of bliss. In German 'tis pronounced "ein kuss," in French it 's "die kuss." English kiss in French they call it in baiser; but they'll all allow It isn't what they call it, but WHO kisses you—and HOW! Answers to Women Readers Miss M: If you would dress in good taste, pay particular attention to shoes, gloves, neckwear, veils and other small accessories that go to make or mar a costume. It is not necessary to spend much money to be well dressed, but a woman must stick to plain modes and colors. To Clara: Don't bathe your face in a half-hearted way, but wash it thoroughly every night before going to bed in warm water, then cover it with a good cream and massage quickly, using a tapping movement—that is to say, slap your face in very gentle, quick taps. Then finish off with a bath in very cold water. Friction will keep the face free of wrinkles better than anything else, but you must keep up the treatment otherwise it will do you no good, and remember, it is useless to apply wrinkle foods unless you are going to build up the body, give it good food, exercise and plenty of fresh air. Miss Brown: Pure olive oil, two or three times a day will help you to take on weight very quickly. If you dislike the taste, a dash of lemon juice will make it more palatable. A. H.

HOME COOKING Open from 6 A. M. to 12 P. M. nov. 14-3m THEATRICAL COMMENT (BY LESTER A. WALTOR) UP in the United Booking Offices Daniel Hennessy and Arthur Blondell are telling about an experience they had at the Lafayette Theatre, the new playhouse at 132d street and Seventh avenue, several evenings ago. The difficulty experienced nowadays in telling who is colored and who is white caused all the trouble. The two booking agents were taken for colored men, and they evinced a desire to sit on the first floor. Hence the comedy of errors. Hennessy has charge of the family department of the United Booking Offices, and Blondell is also connected with the United as booking agent. The Lafayette Theatre is being furnished acts by the family department of the United, but the managers of the house had never seen Messrs. Hennessy and Blondell. It was on a Sunday evening and the two booking agents had just returned from an automobile trip up state. While in Harlem Hennessey suggested that a visit be paid the new theatre, as he was anxious to look it over and see how it was doing. Not caring to be known, they applied at the box office for two tickets, the head of the United Family Department handing the cashier a $1 bill and asking for seats on the first floor. The applicants were begrimed with dust and their faces showed the need of becoming on familiar terms with soap and water. Furthermore, their hats were pulled down over their eyes, having so adjusted their headgear in such fashion while in the machine. The cashier took the booking agents to be of African descent and informed them that the seats on the first floor were all sold out. Seats for the balcony were purchased, but when Messers, Herminey and Blondell entered the theatre they noted that there were many seats vacant in the orchestra. They became very much incensed, and were threatened with eviction by the private officer. Then went to the box office and asked why they were not sold seats for downstairs. The information was handed out to them that colored people were only sold seats on the second floor. 5 This piece of information made the booking agents more angry and they demanded that they be shown the manager, who came forward with much dignity and who was very important in his bearing. When the visitors disclosed their identity excitement was great in the vicinity of the box office, and they were offered box seats. One of the proprietors wanted them to sit on the stage. The offers of stage and box seats were refused with thanks, but seats on the first floor were accepted. Here is another instance showing what the management of the Lafayette Theatre is trying to do in a colored community, and furthermore, is getting away with it. --- If you want to find out how much harm has been occasioned by the Johnson-Cameron incident ask the colored performer. There are some of us who do not take kindly to the shafts of criticism which have been directed at the colored champion, being swayed more by sentiment than forceful logic. Those who have seen fit to criticise the critics of Jack Johnson have not yet felt the sting of popular displeasure, the result of Johnson's indiscretions. Circumstances, as a rule, have to do with our view point. It all depends on what foot the shoe pinches. Many colored performers are yelling: "Ouch!" because they have nipped. Prior to Johnson's arrest at Chicago the Southern Smart Set Company, with S. Tutt Whitney and Homer Tutt, was doing a big business throughout the southern states. Reports came in to the New York office that the company was breaking all records. Even the white critics were speaking complimentary of the show, and prospects for a big season were bright. Business has fallen off since the pugilist got into trouble, and now the managers of a number of houses have seen fit to cancel the show's booking, giving as a reason that it would not be wise to play the colored company while the whites were in their present mood. Some of the best dates have been cancelled, which means a big financial loss. The same conditions obtain with the Black Patti Company, which has been compelled to cancel a number of dates and make many changes on its route. But not only has the colored thespian been injured in the southland. On a number of the smaller vaudeville circuits in the cast the managers have given notice that they will be unable to use colored acts for some time. The failure to play colored acts is attributed to the Johnson-Cameron case. The Shuberts publish a weekly theatrical paper which has been making uncomplimentary remarks about Bert Williams ever since he has been a member of Ziegfeld's Follies. The trouble is the Shuberts did not live up to their contract with the comedian when they starred him in "Mr. Lode of Koal" and he had the contract broken in the courts. The bitterness existing between the Shuberts and Klaw and Erlanger is well known. So when Mr. Williams went out in a play, in which Ziegfeld and Klaw and Erlanger, were interested the Shuberts made many unkind remarks about a colored man working in a company with white women, although they had submitted a similar proposition to the colored comedian, which he threw down. With the Folles of 1912 opening at the Monilia Rouge a few weeks ago the Shubert paper published a long article on the first page telling of the unwisdom of putting a colored man in a white show, and repeatedly used Jack Johnson as an object lesson. Had this been Bert Williams' first season with the Ziegfeld show and he had not proven himself such a gentleman, the chances are he would be out of the show until Jack Johnson's name becomes less in print. There are some who are inclined to think that the race should rally around Johnson in his present trouble and defend his lack of judgment because he is a traitor. Any race or act of people that condones crime and seeks to shield one of its members who has been guilty, of an act of indictment will never be considered law-abiding in the eyes of the law. In these columns no attempt has been made to make a play for kind applause under the guise of race pride. There is a principle involved. The champion has been condemned for his lack of judgment, and on the other hand we have spoken out in no uncertain terms against the Chicago officials persecuting instead of prosecuting him. He should have fair play, and the race should see that he gets it. But how different things would be if Johason would have been discreet as to his movements? Oftimes it is not so much what you do as how you do it. After all it may be that we expected too much of the champion, for he was wont to shine for his physical prowess and not as an example of mental development. Yet the race has been put in a peculiar position by the Caucasian who, while not regarding us seriously expects so much of us. The inconsistency of the white man is once more shown on the race question when he makes a pugilist the standard-bearer of when the pupil does not come up to expectations the entire race is condemned. The race is going to be more considerate of Johnson than he was of its members. Performers and others have been greatly inconvenienced by his notorious conduct, but there is not one who does not want to see him get a tair trial, and every effort will be made to have justice prevail.

She is a member of the Tolliver Trio (two men and a woman and if she took lessons in voice culture some day she might be another Black Fatti. Her voice is quite rich and strong in its upper register, but unfortunately she knows little about breathing or consonation.

REVIEW OF THE STAGE BY SYLVESTER RUSSELL Actors who are making great preparations to read an extensive Christmas Review in a western newspaper need not be alarmed to read in The Age that there will not be any discourse, for the days of annual reviews of Negro profession do not warrant it in these days when picture houses and small colored theatres have taken possession of the glorious tribunal where musical comedy once held away and with the dwindling of musical productions and comedy stars and the decline of minstrelsy, much of the light of a promising performer's ambition has gone out. Discouragement comes on the one side of the other of starvation comes hammering at the door in a vision like a ghost that hovers over the sleeping form of an intelligent actor's countenance. And so to solve the problem of the best way to properly represent and inform the actors of the future I have worried Lester Walton to publish this article in The Age as the first key note to a probable solution. Mr. Walton and I both agreed on the subject some time ago, for I found that the actors could be properly represented in a national newspaper from New York and at Chicago in the same publication and it would only need the entire support of the colored performers to effect a proper means of serving to an end that would be more satisfactory. The days of backering, factionism and knocking at each other by newspaper illustrated advertisements and reading slander should be done away with and suppressed. No actor of reputation should play the houses of actors who that don't interest the public at care.

College Defeats Fisk Nashville, Penn., Dec. 3. — Thanksgiving day at Fisk University was featured by the annual football game between Atlanta Baptist College and Fisk University. Fisk was defeated by the score of 13 to 6. The Atlanta Baptist College team has played five games this season, winning all of them, making a total score of 205 against 9 for its opponents. Tuskegee was defeated by a score of 12 to 3, and is the only team besides Fisk to score against the collegians from Georgia. The A. H.

Morgan College, 12; Dunbar, 2. Morgan College won a well-contested game from the strong Dunbur Athletic Club Friday at Baltimore by a score of 12 to 2.

Jackson, held like stone walls and seemed impenetrable for the first half, the scoring standing at the end of the first half, 2 to 0 in favor of Dunbur. During the first quarter of the second half Tom Jones attempted a drop kick the ball being recovered by Chamberlin, the feet-footed quarterback of the college team, and he made a wild dash, making a touch-down in a chamberlin found Dunbur once more and scored the second touchdown.

College was played Thanksgiving Day on the Rust campus. M. I. had defeated Rust before this season. The Rust boys went into the game determined to regain the title of champions, which the eleven has held for many years, and received the kick-off and on the second down lost the ball. M. I. took the backward pass across Rust's goal for a touchdown with only five minutes being played. The rest of the first period the ball remained in the center of the field. In the second period the ball was in M. I. territory most of the time, first down being made only twice. At the beginning of the second half Rust went in determined to win and recover the ball to the end of the third period the score stood 6 to 6. It was anybody's game at the beginning of the fourth period, but through hard playing the Rust boys had the ball over the M. I. goal. The game ended with the ball on M. I.'s fifteen yard line, and the final score stood Rust, 12; M. I. 6. The line-up: Rust.....M. I. College. Baltimore.....Center.....Sisson Hollowell.....R. G.....Rice Clay.....L. G.....Durral H. A.

The occasion was the annual gridiron battle between Hampton and Shaw Universities of Raleigh, N. C. The game was postponed from Thanksgiving because of the extremely muddy condition of the playing grounds. The game was replete with spectacular plays, and although the final score was 34 for Hampton and 0 for Shaw, the agricultural boys are even to-day well aware of the fact that they were in a football game. The melee began promptly at 2 o'clock. Capt. Johns won the toss, and decided to defend the northern goal. On the kick-off Capt. Johnsons returned the ball twelve yards. Holson was called upon, and responded, three yards. Jones came over the ball here Shaw lost the ball on a fumble. On fake, Oliver made fourteen yards, and then aided by a penalty, long end runs and line plunces, the pigkin was finally landed on Hampton's ten-yard line, from which Wildy carried it over by a clear run around right end. This happened in the first quarter, eight minutes after play started. During his run, half Saw's men displayed their real calibre and by clever work held the "Old Dominionites" scorele. With the ball on Shaw's one-yard Dudley tried a forward pass to FRIDAY December YOUNG'S CASINO ...Grand Post CARNIVAL Handsome, Handy, FR TRACEY COOPER and his Much Mirthful Music Mo ADMISSION - 35 C SAENGERBUND HALL Smith & Schermerhorn Sts. 2 blocks from Barough Hall Subway Station Johnson which was intercepted by Felder. The ball was then placed on Hampton's sixty-yard line and given to Shaw. Felder found Hampton's line imprognable and a clever forward pass was then executed via. Horrionting to Hampton made twenty-yard line. Horrionting then made twenty-yard line after several Shaw men had been thrown for repeated losses; Horrionting punted twenty-five yards, which Jamison returned twenty yards. Wildly answered with ten yards, and Scott dittoed twice in succession. Here Hampton lost the ball. Hobson added twenty-five yards and attempted fake Horrionting cleared two yards; the first half then ended with the ball on Hampton fifty-five yard line. Score, Hampton, 7: Shaw, 0. At the beginning of the second half in the third period the Virginians went after the "tarheels" thereby. The tremendous avoiduplops and steady speed of the Hampton boys with Teckning in the hoops from Baldighan and thereafter were an easy prey for the avaricious Scott, the mighty Warner, and the redoubtable Shearer. So that when the dust cleared from the third quarter the score was Hampton, 27; Shaw, 0. Shortly after the fourth period Hampton added another touchdown and goal, and then the scoring ceased in a Shaw, 17. The men who starred for Hampton were Stoney, Wildy, Warner, Scott, Shearer, Jamison and F. Scott. For Shaw, Capt. Johns, Hobson, Folder, Jones, Horrington and Lee, and also Tallinferon, who, though a small light man, played a heavy and gritty game at right end. Shaw ..... Hampton. Ibanean ..... C .....
