73 YEARS OLD GOES TO SCHOOL Miss Louise A. Fleming Oldest Pupil at Evening School, No 67 She Has Not Missed a Night in Four Years Except Twice When She was Unavoidably Absent SPEAKS FOREIGN TONGUE Aged Pupil Besides Using Good English Can Converse in German and French—Was Born a Slave. There are a number of pupils attending Evening School No. 67, who are firm in the opinion that schools are institutions conducted as much for the benefit of the old who are in quest of knowledge as the young, but the strongest advocate of this doctrine who is studying reading, writing and arithmetic, where Prof. William L. Bulkley is principal after the sun goes down, is Miss Louise A. Fleming. Although a miss, Miss Louise A. Fleming is seventy-three years old, or to quote her regarding her, age, "she is seventy-three years young." Evening School No. 67 is located at 120 W. 66th street, and this aged student, despite her years, has not missed a night in four years other than two nights, when she was unavoidably absent. She is bright, energetic, possesses an active mind, and vows she will stay in school until she graduates. Besides using good English Miss Fleming speaks a little German and French, having become familiar with languages of a bright tongue at places where she worked as a domestic. Miss Fleming was born in Jacksonville, Fla., of slave parents and was herself a slave. At one time she was cook for a general in the Confederate army and waited on Gen. Lee when he was on one occasion a guest of her owner. In 1872 she came to New York at which time she could neither read nor write. Four years ago she heard of the great advantage offered at Evening School No. 67, and entered a class in elementary subjects, where she was taught to read and write. The second year she was placed in a more advanced class and was taught arithmetic. The third year found Miss Fleming in a still more advanced class, and she is now in her fourth year doing splendid work. EDUCATION IN S.

In his letter he refers to the advantages taken of the porters by the officials over them, the way in which their money is deducted for so-called shortages, the oppressive actions of illiterate and ignorant conductors, the subservency which they are obliged to show to anybody who is able to accommodate on their cars, and the claims that it is necessary for protection that some kind of an armoured car be fitted by means of the porters. Mr. Saulter will not be heard porting on any car, but will be fitted to a better treatment.

What at the Negro is doing in a business way in Jersey City, N.J. has been looked into by a representative of Fort Ava, and some of the results of that investigation is given herewith to the makers of Fort Ava. The fact that Jersey City is to a great extent a residential place for people who work in New York, limits the business enterprises to those of a nature which cater to the material needs of the people. Restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, barber shops, coal and wood dealers and general expressmen make up the bulk of the business enterprises engaged in by Negroes. Miller's Cafe, of Kearney avenue is owned by John H. Miller, and he is assisted by his wife, Mrs. Alice Miller.

At present he has four wagons and two horses, but he frequently has, four to six horses in his stable. He gives some attention also to the buying and selling of horses and this is quite an item in his business transactions. He has a very nice home at 94 Ege avenue, and a commodious stable with accommodation for six horses. Mr. Boxwill is married and has three bright little children. Fred C. Van Doren is one of the pioneers in Jersey City's business life. He has been in business thirteen years, and during that time has operated at several locations. His first place was at 357 Railroad avenue, and in succession he was at 634 and 628 Communipaw avenue, had a club in Bayoune, then back to 29 Montgomery street, and 636 Communipaw avenue, and at same time opened a rathskeller at 628 Communipaw, from which place he moved to 81 Ege avenue, where he is now located. He has an up-to-date cafe and spacious pool parlor with two of the latest style tables. Ed Banks is his day man and Nelson N. Redfield, late of the Elks Club, Bayoune, is his night man. Mr. Van Doren has a large number of friends, both white and colored, and his cafe is a rendezvous for them. One of the largest dealers in coal and ice in Jersey City is Thomas 11 Cheatham, 72 Ege avenue. He has been in business five years and does a big business with white and colored.

The store room is used as a barber shop, and the house brings in $40 a month rental. A large yard with stable and wagon-shed belongs to the house. Mr. Cheatham has three employees and they are kept busy as can be all the time, and he is actively engaged also. During the winter season the bulk of his customers, are colored, and in the summer the larger proportion are white. He is a prominent church and fraternity man, having been clerk of the Salem Baptist Church for twenty years. He lately resigned as District Grand Treasurer of the District Grand Lodge No. 47, G. U.

It be comes apparent as the Negroes in Birmingham begin to make and save money that it is intention of white men to use as much of this money as possible in enterprises to be owned and controlled by them. For instance; at this moment an insurance company with a capital stock of $500,000 is being organized. All of the officers of this company are white men, although some of the agents are likely to be colored. It is the intention to sell a good portion of this capital stock to colored people. What the premium they will be called upon to pay, however, has not yet been stated. It is a open secret that a group of leading white men are seeking a controlling interest in one of the leading colored banks. They intend to let New York control the bank onwardly, but be controlled inwardly by this group of white men. It would be interesting to see New York looking at white men. ```markdown ``` Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS SEATTLE HERO IS IN THE EAST Newton Johns is Visiting His Mother Who Lives in Bristol, Pa.

M., MAY 19, 1912 PRESENTED BY THE INLAND NAVIGATION COMPANY SEATTLE, WASH. The accident which brought Johns into the limelight occurred on the morning of May 19, when a gangplank connected with the steamer Flyer broke and sixty passengers were thrown into the Puget Sound. Johns, who was shining shoes, heard the commotion, and leaving his customers sitting on the bootblack stand, ran to the scene of the accident. There he saw men, women and children struggling about in the sound, and without a moment's hesitancy he pulled off his coat and jumped into the water to give them succor. Women and children implored him to save them, and while he was taking the rescued one by one to safety he experienced great difficulty getting away from frantic women who grabbed at him and tried to hold him in their attempts to escape death by drowning. Johns is a young man, short of stature and weighs about 150 pounds, yet he did not cease his heroic work until he had rescued ten women and children. One of the women weighed 185 pounds. Up to the time the colored boothack performed such daring deeds of heroism he had not been in swimming for over forty years. On this occasion he jumped into the water without taking off a uniform except his combat swan dress with his shoes on.

Suecum, 49 Kearney avenue, are all engaged in the coal and ice business. It is a remarkable fact that the relations between the men engaged in this business are the most friendly. There is a reciprocal basis of operation between them that has removed entirely any feeling of prejudicial rivalry, and they work together harmoniously. They are substantial men and are factors in the financial life of the community. Mr Terrance's home is rated at $0,000 Mr. Suecum at $5,000, and Mr Lomas's at $4,000.

Kink no more will straighten the Kinkiest kind 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 week, but to last from six to eight months. After more possible use will take 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 is unique because there is not only patience but the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair the Kink no more will not straighten. Kink-n-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure you. Kink-n-no-more is falling out; positively removes dandruff, promotes a luxurant growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-n-no-more is sold under a guarantee to do well. It will clamor for any on the receipt of $1.00 a regular box of Kink-n-no-more, enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair. When ordering send registered letter, payment money order or money order of the items offered to agents. Write to-day for special terms. Enclose 2 cent stamp to reply. Agents wanted everywhere.

Public opinion can cure the lynching habit, if the public opinion can be created in the localities where it is needed. How can such public opinion be created where the people in the localities in which it is most needed are committed to the principle of lynch law, or are overawed by those who are? The prevalence of the lynch law habit and the cheapness of life in the Southern States, especially in the case of Negroes, who are lynched right and left as white rowdyes are swayed by brutal passion for excitement, are stressed by liquor, are the primary to the teachings of Southern cities and institutions most of whom are to be captured in a value upon all white preachers. If the white preachers officers and politicians of the Southern States could be arrested, cleaned into facing the old spirit and convining it that it is, money to law and order, such as the Allen clan gave at Hillsville, Carroll County, Va., last year when it allowed the entire court in a brazen show up, there wond soon be an end of lynch law. The Philadelphia Record, the leading Democratic newspaper in the North, seaking on this vital questions says. These South Carolinaians who lynched a Nero for refusing to pay a debt and a no-fault judgment against a man who was a prisoner of thorner illness, must really have been enunciates of the governor. It is impossible to believe that in even that moment the governor would not appreciate that such friendship would bring ordinance upon the object. Lynch would have been her sin, but they seem hardly great enough to warrant the humiliation through which she is now posting. "Poor South Carolina!" And poor Georgia, poor Louisiana, poor Mississippi, poor Texas, poor Oklahoma, where the mob weather fattens on the slime his editors and politicians feed to him without concerted protest from his preachers! There is complaint also coming up loudly from the South, that desirable settlers shun that section, because of its reputation for lawlessness, and that its financial credit at home and abroad would be vastly greater but for its reputation for lawlessness. Give even a dog a bad reputation and it is hard to take away from it. It is in the interest of all the people of the Southern States that lawlessness be stamped out and that respect for law and due process of law be enthroned in its place. AN IGNORANT AND VENOMOUS EDITOR William Calvin Chase, the editor of the Washington Bee, resents The Age's characterization of him that he is ignorant and venomous and proves that he is by a flux of mud-getter personalities foreign to the question. Mr. Chase is not only ignorant and venomous, but it may be said of him without fear of contradiction that, as a beast, he was never false to an enemy nor true to a friend. Mr. Chase has painful reason to remember that by publishing allegations in the District of Columbia not necessarily for the purpose of establishing the truth but primarily to injure the name and reputation of another in public estimation, he says himself liable to both fine and imprisonment in the district jail, where he once was and may be. We do not imagine that Bishop Walters is vain enough to care a rap about what Mr. Chase and the Bee think of him and this leadership of the Negro Democracy; certainly the large number of distinguished New Yorkers who tended him a banquet need not sit at the big feet of Mr. Chase nor expect to learn anything from what comes out of the New York Times Hamlin Abbott reports the work of the Federated Council of Churches of Christ in America, representing some thirty, denominations and some sixteen million people, with some three hundred and fifty delegates, at the meeting recently held in Chicago. The Council was organized in Philadelphia in December, 1908, and has developed into "a system" of organized effort of the Christian Churches with new purposes which a few years ago were regarded as being outside of church policy and activity. That there has been a radical falling away of church influence in the affairs of the Nation and in the life of the average citizen in the past fifty years is pointed out by Mr. Abbott in the opening paragraph of his article, as follows: "What have they done? asked the newspaper man. 'The newspapers aren't going to give space to them unless they've done something.' The Secretary of the civic society in the city where I live told me that he used to go to the churches for help when there was any general undertaking for the good of the city, but that he has given that up because they were of no use.' That was the way the newspaper man replied when I asked him why the newspapers had paid so little attention to the meeting of the delegates to the Federal Council which has just held its session in Chicago." Mr. Abbott does not state that any of the Negro churches are represented in the Council, although most of the Protestant churches are included in the membership. If they are not so represented, why not? The four features of the Council are stated to be: (1) Using the spirit of religion for, (2) the elimination of waste by, (3) bringing together existing denominations on a basis of, (4) service in practical work. The failure of the newspapers generously to report the doings of the Council is, as the newspaper man stated it to Mr. Abbott, and applies as well to the conference work of all church denominations. The work, in the main, lacks the essential news quality of "service in practical work," of general human every-day interest. There has been no bread and butter interest, no spiritual culture, no National and human betterment and uplift in the work; just a blind groping after denominational routine and preservation and dogmatism about the future life to the subordination of the vital things "of this present life." The Council proposes to make the work of the churches conform to the present needs of the life as well as the future needs of the soul. When they have done so the general public will take more interest in church work and the newspapers will feature the work more generally as news, because there will be human interest in it and a demand for it. This is even truer of the work of the Negro than of the white church work. The Council adopted the following statement, which should command the earnest attention of all of our churches. The Churches must stand. 1. For equal rights and complete justice for all men in all stations of life. 1 For equal rights and complete life 2 For the protection of the family form divorce laws property relation 3 For the fullest possible develop- ment of proper education and re 2. For the protection of the family, by the single standard of parity, uniform divorce laws, property simulation of marriage, and proper homeliness. 3. For the finest possible development for every child, especially in the provision of proper education and recreation. 4. For the abolition of child labor. 5.

This is a comprehensive statement of new purposes in church work that must appeal to and command the earnest co-operation of the best forces in every locality in the country. "The churches must stand for equal rights and complete justice for all men in all stations of life," embodies a principle as fundamental as Christian brotherhood, and is far in advance of the policy, if not the platform, of any political party, except, perhaps, the Socialist party. The work mapped out by the Council would place the churches in closer touch with the axiomatic truths stated by Jesus to men, and formulated into a working philosophical system for the churches by Paul than has before been true of it in the Christian era. THE AGE earnestly urges Negro pastors in every community to organize themselves into a non-denominational body and to work together as one body with many members for race betterment and uplift along the lines laid down by the Federated Council of Churches of Christ in America, and to affiliate by denominational delegates with that National organization, if they are not now doing so. They can devise no better working program, and they will have greater and better results working through their own organization, but in active affiliation and sympathy with white local and National organizations. It is not possible to estimate the good such local organizations can accomplish in a few years by animating with aspiration and activity the old and young people of their communities with the new purposes of church work mapped out for all Christians by the Federated Council of Churches of Christ in America. Let us take hold of our social service problems ourselves, as well as our moral and political ones, in every locality and show that we are positive factors for good, and we shall gather to us the helpful sympathy and assistance of the Christian people of all races whose lives touch ours, consciously or subconsciously, in the activities of the community, the State and the Nation. his black heart through his big mouth; as for the editors of THE AGE, they know the nature of the beast, that he has never hesitated to befoul his own nest and to eat his own vomit. And what the editors of THE AGE know the people of the District of Columbia know better. We remember very well that there has not been a Negro prominent in public life in forty years, since 1872, from Frederick Douglass to Booker T. Washington, and to eat his own vomit. And what the editors of THE AGE know the people of the District of Columbia know better. PERSONAL—If Mr. Chase desires to see copies of Mr. Fortune's confidential reports on conditions in Hawaii and the Philippines in 1902-3 he should apply to the Secretary of the Treasury. If he desires to discuss the whiskey question let him begin with his own private bottle in a dummy volume of "Chitty on Blackstone," he keeps in his secretary. If he desires to discuss the question of blackmail let him produce first his memorandum book and name off the poor messengers, scrub women and laborers in the Government service who have paid him blood money since 1872, and the prominent persons, both male and female, who have paid him within the same time to keep out of his publications scandalous and for the most part unoffended reports about them. Mr. fortune has had plenty of misfortune and trouble in the past seven years, but he has met them all and conquered them all as he got to them, and he has done it as Man and as Peast, and in doing it he was never false to a friend nor true to an enemy. HOLIDAY ROWDYISM The news dispatches of the Christmas holidays were overloaded with happenings distressing and often tragic to those immediately concerned in them, and saddening in the extreme to all persons who read them as news of the days. More; they were bound by their number to make sober-sided Christians—and we are a Christian Nation—take up the subject anew as to the necessity for advocating and devising ways and means, persuasive and legal, for celebrating the most significant and solemn holiday season in the Christian philosophy in a sane and sober manner. It is far from a sign of hope in the National life that the Christmas holiday should have so far degenerated into widespread consumption of inexorating beverages and vulgar display that the police are kept busy and the undertakers given more work than the world otherwise have that police that has allowed by law and that makes vulgarisms and intoxication there should be something of the health and effectively alarming tendency towards poisoning in large cities and towns of the republic has become a National danger more to be dreaded than an army with hanners' and plenty of machine guns added. The drink habit has become the curse of every European and American country and the despair and terror of their statesmanship. The drink habit and vulgarism and National degeneration go hand in hand down the King's Highway to the stink pits of black death. Parents and preachers and teachers and statesmen should become alive to this question, with the determination to root it out of the National life by public sentiment and legal enactment. TWO NOTABLE PUBLICATIONS Two publications indicating deinitely the progress and onward sweep of the race have just come from the press, one is a Business Directory of the colored people in New Orleans. It is gotten out by Mr. Allen T. Woods and is a very creditable publication. Mr. Woods should have the support of our people not only in New Orleans but throughout the country for getting out such a creditable document. Another equally interesting publication is the National Blue Book, or "Who's Who of the Negro in Business and the Professions in America," gotten out by Mr. A. A. Thomas, of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. The National Blue Book not only contains valuable information as to successful business men and women, but is a fine piece of printing from every point of view. Mr. Thomas, in this publication, states that he has been most careful to put no advertisement in it unless he is reasonably sure that the individual is a worthy representative of the race. We hope that both of these publications will have the wide circulation they deserve.

He is a penchant for taking editorials and news articles in toto from this paper and republishing them in the Northern News without giving the Age credit, because it is not guilty of rank discountary to The Age. We are not opposed to the Northern News using our articles, but we respectfully ask that we be given credit for their origin. It is too bad that young Mr. Whitfield, one of our real estate men, doing an extensive and profitable business, should have gone wrong with his accounts and become tangled with the law. It is far easier to get tangled with the law than to get untangled. The reports have it that Mr. Whitfield had a business deal with that. But we do know that New York offers the best opportunity in the country for republishing with certain payment in disbursement all along the way. . . The last case in the old Jaffre from the St. Louis area was a case in which the father and others should prove that they were the owners of the boothouses and shoemakers in southern cities were Negroes, but they remained at the end what they were in the beginning - boothouses and shoemakers.

The dinner to Governor-elect William Sulzer, in New York, last week, was a great function, many democratic lights from far and far, being at the feast among them Col William Jennings Bryan, who came all the way from his winter plantation in Florida to graze the occasion. But his presence threw a damper over the occasion instead of grieve. Mr. Charles F. Murphy, leader of the Tammany Hall and New York State bourgeois, was absent in person, and the prominent Democrats who will not forgive Mr. Bryan for the brutal hauls he heaped upon the New York delegation in the Baltimore Convention. Success with a club is not always of the wisest and most enduring character. BLEASE-18M IN ACTION. An Opinion by a Northern High Democracial Newspaper (From the Philadelphia Record) Governor Cole Release in his explosion in the House of Governors," consterned the Constitution to perdition if it interfaced with the punishment of any man guilty of the usual offense," that is any black man. He further promised that while he shall hold his office no for lynching such as a punishment when they promote the lynching, because it will not mislead any lynching person into a condensation of lynching, because there are ample legal means of punishing men for "usual offense," because the mob does not always know the lynching, because the man captured is really the culprit, and innocent men have repeatedly been lynched; and, finally, because lynching is not confined to the "usual offense." When it does, because it is certain to be extended to others. A case in point has just occurred in Governor Hease's own Commonwealth. It is a very prompt response to his statement that he invited his citizens to lynch librum. Last Friday night, John Felder, a Negro, was taken from the guardhouse in the courtyard, the courtyard, and shot to death. Had he assaulted a white woman? There is no charge of the sort. He had been arrested, and obtaining under false pretenses. This man was murdered for the fun of killing a "nigger." No one ever pretended that, the crime of entailing so heilous a character that the ordinary process of the law was inadequate to deal with it. But it is a good deal easier to deal with a man as the Governor had expressed his approval of lynching, there seemed to be no reason for waiting till some colored man should commit the usual offense, and the Governor had murdered of that Negro by the encouragement he gave to lynching when he addressed his fellow-Governers in his court. In the clement to crime, and there is plenty of soil in which that seed will take root and beat Jonah's gourd for rapid growth. His speech has procured the which it was so well calculated to hette. ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SAME. It is a long time since the jurisdiction of Judge Lynch was restricted to "the one crime." Nobody nowadays pretends that only one offence so infuriates whites against blacks as to make resource to the course impractical. South Carolina for refusing to pay a note will not cause surprise, at least. It is pretty generally recognized that the toleration of extra-local methods in the South is not necessarily inevitably lead to their adoption when other causes of irritation are found. Meanwhile, it would be interesting to know the history of the note the failure to take up which resulted in the murder of a black man. For example, Carolina on Saturday. The financial transactions of black men in the South are not noted for providence. It is not impossible that the note witnessed one of those unattainable transactions of the kind which the consideration is so completely out of proportion to the other assumption that no court in the world would permit payment, if the note was not given his story before it was presented that condition to court. Nor is it possible that a court would permit a conviction to court. Nor is it possible that a conviction to court. Nor is it possible that a conviction to court. --- DAUGHTER OF HER FATHER.

I would have lived to see the day when he would call the roll of his slaves from his home, and he would be met with a sermon in which all was being meted out with sermons in the wall being of the Negro, and mothbins; it would be more tolerable for Sodom and not for John. I would have been more confident than it would be for that class of people from the account in the newspapers, from the act of Jack Johnson marrying a white woman and gathering and hence this separation and stimulus at this famous banquet and intimate gathering and hence this woman is not an admirer of Johnson.

January 1, 1811, will be the 100th anniversary of the Proclamation of Emancipation. The event will be celebrated throughout the nation, honored by our people. It will be celebrated at a boon conferred upon the Negro by Abraham Lincoln, and if we are the judge by similar celebrations in the past, with little or no reference to the real factors which brought the overthrow of slavery. This the writer believes is an unfavorable defect in such celebrations. It shows a lack of historical perspective, a fatal ignorance of the essential factors in the making of history. For that reason, we must not do so without some for its neglect of its real liberators, this article is written. Few pause, to reflect on the Herculesian laborers necessary to pave the way for and to render effective a Proclamation of Emancipation, denouncing the nation's slavery, and Abraham Lincoln, great and good that he was but William Lloyd Garrison. When Garrison began his moral agitation against slavery, denouncing the nation's slavery and strongly disapproving the agitation of Mr. Garrison and others to bring about its abolition, Mr. Lincoln, and to relate, was among the million who submitted to it and saw in this new Lernaean Hydra a beast too formidable to conquer. It was to be endured to be coddled, never around for a few years, to be billed the Union of the States Fortune for the Negro, and most fortunate indeed, for civilization and freedom in the New World, the opinion of Abraham Lincoln of William Lloyd Garrison, the reformer. He saw in the situation the duty to call a nation to repentance; to arose its slumbering conscience, deadened by more than thirty years his voice and pen thundered his Jovenan denunciations of the moral sin of slavery. He raised the banner of immediate and acutely realizing the cause, which was inscribed the motto, "My country is the world, my countrymen all mankind," and a host of kindred spirits came to his support, slowly at first, and then followed his lead, many of whose names are household words in the literature of our country. It was he who first discovered the poor talent of John Greenleaf Whitman, the man who developed sympathy. In the hearts of millions for the outraged slave, it was he who took the unfortunate bondless from the shipyards of slavery. He was the world upon him, as one in whom mankind might behold the intrigues of slavery, and the latent possibilities of the slave. He the publication of the LIBRATOR, the organ of the Association, January 1st, 1831; he commanded its publication, January 1st, 1831; he set thirty-five years later, after the death of his father, to overthrow of relicted slavery. He founded the American Anti-Slavery Society, January 1st, 1832. January 1st, 1832, our forefathers did of more than ordinary purpose. We shall not, however, demonstrate our appreciation of the significance of the events we celebrate on these revered days, but we become deeply conscious of the moral courage, steadfastness of purpose, and sacrifices of our real liberators, white and black, who gave to us the rights of their talents, and in many instances, their lives. Their examples should be an inspiration to the Negro, everywhere, to battle on bravely and hopeful, to be a force which blocks his path, to the attainment of that fuller, freer life, which is our aim. Let the past inspire us to perform well the duties which the preachers and need imposes upon us. To recaptivate To the Abolitionists and their leader, Mr. Garrison, is due the honor, or the infamy, from whichever angle our common choice to regard it, of having: First: Divided, a nation which was at peace with itself. There was neither North nor South when Garrison commanded. Second: Through their agitation, the succor and help given runaway slaves, their conspirations against the slave power, culminating in John Brown's raid, brought about the Civil War. Third: Compelled Mr. Lincoln and the North, much against their wishes to make the war, a war for humanity, an abolition war. Fourth: The effects of their agitation were the destruction of the Whig party, and the creation, successively of the Liberty, Free, Soll and Republican parties. Fifth: Compelled Garrison deserves to rank beside those of Savenorola, Bruno, Luther and John Brown, Lincoln belongs to a nation, but Garrison is American gift to Humanity. It is the most important for many years the sacred mission of history has been basely prostituted to serve partisan purposes, and the mood due him and his compatriots, has been so great that we hope that January 19, 1913, will mark the attitude of the Negro and also of the nation, which is indebted to them for so much that is uplifting in our hearts.

Good substantial shoes and warm clothing are much prettier for winter than summer things which only look foolish and camp one as lacking in grey matter. Women of other races whose hoofgears hail from a cold climate may do it with less risk of consumption than women of color, whose ancestors habitated the torrid zone. Remember, health is easier to lose than regain. --- Don't spend all you can, or that your husband turns over to you. Remember, a dollar saved is always a friend to be relied upon. Don't complain. It don't help matters. If you must do so to a lawyer or doctor who or paid to hear folks' troubles. Better, however, grin and bear your lot, it can't be changed, and remember everybody has troubles of their own and the world soon grows unsympathetic to a complainer. Don't be too confidential not even with your best friends. Killing all your thoughts, your joys, your sorrows is never the part of wisdom. Tis true the tongue is an unruly member, but manage to control it. Don't meddle. If you have extra time after taking care of your own affairs get busy with charitable or other work and expend superfluous energy in that way; your satisfaction will be far greater than it would be by poking a finger in somebody's family pie—stirring up trouble, and getting yourself thoroughly disliked and execrated. Don't carry a "grouchy face." Some folks look like they det on "razor soup." Certainly their facial expression is anything but pleasant to look at. Better sunny up for life is short and hard at best, and its costs nothing to be pleasant, but it means a great deal to those around you. Don't boast. It is extremely bad taste. If you have been used to the good things of life rest assure people will find it out, and more likely believe it than if you parade the fact. Persons who are well-rised and "used to things" are the ones who don't talk about themselves. Don't try to boss. It is one of the surest and most direct routes to popularity. Upon teaching you of discretion it is the pretense of each individual to shape you. Pretty Wedding in Birmingham Special to Tilt, New York Hirminhain, M.A., De. T. F. Hirminhain, Wednesday evening, December 11, Mr. and Mrs. Jas, R. Reed, one of Hirminhain's old and most respected families gave in marriage their daughter Annie to Mr. Walter Lycurgus Jackson of Chicago. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Craig, bishop of the Rev. Dr. William Williams and I. H. Goodgame. Payne Chapel is crowded with friends of the family, see the only daughter given in marriage; for while there are five brothers, the bride is the only daughter. She has grown up in Hirminhain, attended and finished school here, played the organ in Payne Chapel and taught in the public schools. The entire church was beautifully decorated with palms and ferns, and the couple plighted their truth under two white doves suspended in the decorations in the midst of many lighted candles. The bridal party entered the church to the strains of Lohengrin's Bridal Chorus, "sung by a large chorus of bride and friends, under the direction of Milda Sia. Vocal collections were rendered by Miss Augusta Deace and Miss Lillian Harra." The ushers, Miss Henrietta Ford, Pattina Brown, Gudie Adams and Miss Wilson, entered first, dressed in white serge, then came the attendants singly, Misses Elizabeth McClanahan, Jesse Collins, Fannie Goodgame, Minnie Peters and Wilma Byrd. They were met at crowd at the altar by the groomman, all four of whom were the bride—Messas, Jerry A., Wm. R. Jas, D. and Ira P. Reed, and the host man, M. D. Wilkerson. Next came the matron of honor, Mrs. Lydia Benninga, a cousin of the bride, clad in white charmuse; next the maid of honor, Miss Etta Williams; then came the ring and license beater, Master Clarence Jackson and Little Miss Augustus Jackson, all clad in white, carrying the license on a silver tray and the ring on a white satin gillow. Beautiful in a trailing white cropped metre gown, trimmed in pearls and crystals, the bride came leaning on the arm of her father and was met at the altar by the groom with his best man, Jesse Lucas of Chicago. The bridesmaids were beautifully and gracefully attired in white dew drop net made of white charmeuse with long white train and waistcoat, and their shoulders. They carried bouquets of ferns, while the bride carried a large bouquet of bride's roses. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the parents of the bride, where salads and less were served to a crowd which overflowed out on to the town. At 1:20 the bridal party was assembled by G. W. A. Johnston, who had charge of the carriages for the bridal party, soiled in their respective places and taken to the staircase where they boarded the train for their future marriage. At 2:00 a station the bridal party was met by a large crowd of friends and the station was covered with roc which had been showered on the happy couple. Mr. Johnson formerly claimed 1898- lingham as his home, attended school here but later moved to Chicago, where he owns his own residence and holds a good paying position. The presents were many and beautiful. Whitteck-Diffay Nupitalia Special to The New York Age Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 24—On Saturday morning, December 11, at 10 p.m. in the beautiful new First Baptist Church, Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Diffay gave in marriage their daughter Elmira to Mr. A. B. Whitlock of Chicago. The spacious auditorium of the church was well filled with friends of the family and the bridal party arrived promptly at the stated hour and the ceremony was impressively conducted by the church's Dr. Whitlock. The church tastefully decorated by Sugla, florist, and made a beautiful appearance. Miss Lillian Harris sang "Mine" in her most approved style and Mrs. E. M. Lacy affairs. Who is the woman who bears this in mind and confines her executive ability to the management of her own business. Don't imitate. Leave this for monkeys. It is tiresome to hear individuals of color continually say that white people do this, that or the other and it must be right. Remember, an all wise Creator has given us all brains to think for ourselves: Use them and they will gain strength. Don't talk sickness, ill luck and about grewsome matters generally, but rather talk health, happiness and prosperity, and if you haven't these prized possessions they will more likely find you than if you repelled them, with continual hard luck stories. HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES. "A sure way to prevent cakes from sticking to the pans and often crumbling is to turn the pan upside down and lay on the bottom of it a cloth wrung out of water. After about five minutes the cake can be removed without falling to pieces." Surplus milk may be used in many ways. Skimmed milk answers as well as full milk for soups and doughs when fat is also used. Even if otherwise likely to curdle in heating, the addition of a little cooking soda makes it possible to scald milk, and then it may be used for custards, puddings, etc. Sour milk is available for doughs and cheese, and cream may be substituted for butter and milk in simpler cakes and cookies. Another method of using sour milk is to strain it, when it is quite thick, into a small muslin bag; tie a piece of string around the top of the bag and hang it in a cool place to drip. At the end of three or more days, according to the quantity of milk used, an uncommonly dainty cheese will have been produced without effort. Suet may be kept sweet for some time by removing the skin or membrane from it while it is fresh, sprinkling salt upon it, tying it up in a bag and hanging it in a cold, dry place. Suet that has become hard and stale can be made fresh and usable by placing it in boiling water. A NEW YEAR'S WISH. I would flood your path with sunshine. I would fence you from all tall. I would crown you with all blessings. If I could have my will Mr. but human have may err treasured but an All wise Power is near S. I simply say, God bless you and What you love all the year. Mr. Whitlock attended school at Tuskegee Institute and Miss Diffay finished school here and in the East. She comes from one of Birmingham's best families and carried away with her the best wishes of the whole community. J. O. Diffay, father of the bride, stands well in the business world here. Many beautiful and costly presents were received. CHARLESTON, W. Va., Dec. 31. Mrs. Iillian Starks, widow of the late S. W. Starks, died suddenly at the home of her mother-in-law, E. C.

Church were favored with an illuminating talk by Meyer Jarmilowsky, an East Side banker, who advised them to become a factor in the business world, which he recommended as a powerful antidote for race prejudice. The speaker did not limit the field of endeavor in which the colored man should operate, but attempted to impress his hearers of the crying need of assuming a commanding position in the commercial world. Mr. Jarmilowsky showed that it was the producer, not the consumer, who yielded a great influence, and his 18-karat impressions gave me a clearer insight as to why the colored man is of such little force in the theatrical world to-day. The men who are all-powerful in the theatrical business are those who own and control theatres—those who produce shows and acts, thereby making it possible for hundreds and hundreds of performers to earn a livelihood. There are times when some of us wax wroth and berate white managers and producers for not treating the colored performers more liberally in the matter of giving them work. We dwell on the rank injustice of the scant recognition these theatrical magnates pay the colored thespian, and from our viewpoint their shabby treatment is very unjust. But what we think is of but little consequence to them. And why? Because the race is not a dominating factor in the theatrical business. If colored men owned theatres and more producers conditions would be so different. BUFF! But such is not the case. Nowadays even merit must have "a pull" in order to get a hearing. The white theatrical men of influence are so busy engaged looking after their own favorite ones that they have little, if any, time to give to the colored brother and sister. --- It is not necessary that colored men should have an interest in the form of Elaw and Erhanger, the Shimbera or the United Booking Offices to command attention. Marcus Loew, head of the Loew Circumst, did not affiliate with these big theatrical forms in order to reach the enimence he has; and there are others who have chosen wisely and pursued unexplored theatrical fields, rather than include domains already occupied and well fortified. The alteration of colored theatrical pots will some day prove to be one of the most fertile fields in theatricaldom. But few can see the glittering prospects now. However, before many years have passed there will be what will be known as "a chain of colored houses," which will yield an enormous income and make many a white and colored man sad and weary when he thinks of the opportunities he let on by. A chain of up to date houses known as "colored theatres" is inevitable. Yet, such a strong theatrical alliance will not be effected until the colored man does it himself. When you make an effort to induce a white theatrical promoter to build a house where colored patrons would be given every consideration, the first question asked is, "Well, if your proposition is such a good one why don't your own people take it up?" And your sad attempt to furnish information as to just who colored men do not correct and maintain theatres for colored people is almost heart rendering. To date all such interviews have resulted unsatisfactorily. It is natural that the first thought the white promoter should have when important to become financially interested in a "colored proposition," pictured in the most glowing style as a good thing, is why the colored people do not gobble up the bonanza themselves. Many of them do not know that the majority of colored citizens are so void of the commercial instinct that if they had an opportunity to buy the Metropolitan Opera house for $10 they would not pay $2 down to bind the deal. As Mr. Jarnulowsky declared in his address, the colored man must become more independent; he must be the great possibilities his race affords him to become wealthy and influential, for we have avenues that are undeveloped and are to be developed by only ourselves. White promoters are interested in enough white propositions to keep them busy, and it is a difficult matter to make them look at colored enterprises in the same light as the colored man. It is up to the colored business men of this country to build and operate theaters similar to the Howard Theatre in Washington, D. C—theatres which reflect great credit on the race. Today we have few theaters controlled by colored managers that inspire pride and are worthy of patronage by the best citizens. In the South, which is destined to be a fruitful field for theatrical operations, not many colored theaters are patronized by the better class of colored citizens, due to suggestive jobs and dialogue used, as well as the boisterousness of some of the men in the audience. A peculiar feature in the South is that many of the theaters run in the interest of colored people are owned by whites. To me it is strange that many banks, insurance companies and other thriving business concerns are owned and managed by colored men in the Southland, yet they fail to see the wisdom of investing their money in measurement propositions that are very inviting. Possibly it is because many of them possess religious cruples and have minivings about owning theatres, the race become a factor in theatricals, become producers instead of consumers. Theatres owned and controlled by colored people, forming a chain extending from New York on the North to New Orleans on the South and Kansas City, Mo., on the West, giving twenty-five or more weeks booking to clean, reputable acts, will help revolutionize conditions affecting the colored performer. With whites going to colored houses to see good colored acts, the white managers will soon put colored turns on their bills, and besides will not be so particular about seating colored theatregoers in prescribed sections of their houses.

Leubrie Hill put on an act of twenty people at the Crescent Theatre, Monday, December 23. The turn attracted such big houses that it was held over for another week. This act will be the first to be sent out by the United Colored Vaudeville Exchange, and it should make friends for the Exchange as well as the houses where it appears. Davis and Rector, Kelly and Rhodes and Thomas and Clark are the principal entertainers in the act, indulging in comedy, singing and dancing. The act is full of ginger and well staged. The dance, numbers and a male quartet are among the features. If the United Colored Vaudeville Exchange produces acts similar to the Dixielanders, the firm should experience no difficulty booking them in other houses. THE SPILLERS ABROAD. To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: Just a word to let you know how we are. We opened on November 25th at the Alhambra, London, for four weeks. This house has a big review which has about two hundred people in cast. The show is divided in two sections—variety and the review. We are the star variety turn and appear at 9 o'clock each evening, no matinees. We have the best position on the bill. It is one of the most select audiences in London and shows very little appreciation for acts by using their hands, although we have done extra well. I like the country very much. Several newspapers have spoken very well of us and one journal called the "Hippodrome," has devoted one special page to us with photos. Before we opened we received telegrams from Brown and Newaree Statt and Whaley, Kooland, Bonny and Freeman, the Kratons, and a good many others, wishing us success. We have several offers from different managers to go to Paris for the month of January to be a feature in a big review, and have been offered two years' contract. We are coming home soon, as we have to play the time this season that we have booked with the United. London is a great city. They are singing everything here that is popular in New York. Ragtime is the craze here. Everybody is working and seem to be getting along. Everybody reads The Age. My regards to all. Merry Christmas. I am, W. N. SPILLER Care V. A. E. 18 Charing Cross Road, W.

Paraphrasing somewhat the words of a famous Roman general, the Monticello basketball team of Pittsburgh, came played and conquered on its visit to New York last week, when it met two of Greater New York's strongest teams—the Alpha P C C of New York and the Smart Set A C of Brooklyn. This quintet from the Smoky City plays a fast, consistent game, and from the article of basketball put up against the Alphas and Smart set it is not surprising that Monticello has met and feated the crack team of Howard University. Before a large and fashionable gathering Christmas at Manhattan Casino Monticello detached Alpha 40 to 24. The home quarterback started at with rush and a trumpet was the sight that they could not contain, but such bright hopes were soon dispelled. S. Good Lines. Thomas Wriggs and C. Nixon with central Norman and George Cannon with substitutes represented Alpha with A. Posey, Nourse Hall, Dorsey and J. Posey with Rickman and Lois substitutes were in the blue pitches at Monticell. Friday evening the Monticello Basketball team met at the Smart Set A C of Saengt and Hall Brooklyn, and defeated the Smart Set 27 to 14. The team work at the vista was the feature of the game.

Act was to open on Monday; four days before Monday Lewis wired, "Be there Saturday." Act did not get in Saturday. Monday came and act did not get in. Wired Lewis, "What is wrong?" Got no answer. Three days after time to open a certain Mr. White came in on one of my tickets and said Lewis told him to tell me that his wife was sick. Three days later got wire from Lewis, "Tried to get team to take my place, could not do so, will come alone now." Waited several days, Lewis failed to appear. Wired him to send me my tickets, as same was void day after date of issue. Also had refund on ticket stopped. Later wrote him at his last address, also in care of The Freeman; both letters were delivered, as my return address was on both envelopes. I have waited all this time in order to give Lewis good time to square himself. I have not heard one word from him since last telegram above referred to. Am always willing to send tickets when necessary to good legitimate acts, but won't stand such actions as above. Am running this ad. in the interest of managers and the profession generally.

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 to 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. "The Coming of the King," from the tent of the St. Matt. 1:1-2, was the subject of the Christmas sermon proached by the Rev. Wm. P. Hayes. Financial services in honor of the departed dead of the B. Y. P. U. were held Sunday, December 23, with Trustee J. J. Yancey presiding.

HOUSING BOUNDARIES ESTABLISHED The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has established recently in Harlem at 11 West 135th street, a housing bureau intended to meet the needs of the present housing conditions among the Negroes of New York City, principally of Harlem. For some time the colored tenants of the city have complained strewnously of the fact that persons moving into new apartments, have no guarantee that their neighbors will be found quiet and orderly. In fact, frequently these tenants and their families are brought in contact, with immoral and debased associations, which have a most deterrent effect upon efforts for family upbuilding. At a conference held in May, 1911 at the St. Phillip's P. E. Parish House, those present were amazed at the numerous accounts of irregularities and questionable practices indulged in in so many dwellings of the Negro districts. A committee, with the Rev. A. Clayton Powell as chairman, was appointed to devise means whereby the evils might be corrected. The Housing Bureau is the direct expression of the activities of this committee on Harlem conditions. The bureau is first seeking to get a list of reliable, first-class apartments where reasonable tenants may be sure of reasonable rent and respectable environment. This list will be published from time to time so that the public can receive the benefits from such information. To be sure that no mistake is made in certifying the houses the bureau invites the complaints of public-spirited citizens who are desirous of rendering the evil less potent.
