O'RYAN'S POSITION Is Not Opposed to Negroes Enlisting as Members But Not With Colored Officers THE "SOCIAL" BUGABOO Major Fillmore Told That Colored Men Can Become Attached to Quartermaster's and Ambulance Corps. Despite the assertions of local colored Democrats before election that Gov. Sulzer had made a pre-election promise that if chosen Governor he would favor the recruiting of a Negro Regiment, to become a part of the National Guard of the State of New York, it now develops that no such statement was ever made by the executive. Furthermore, it can be authoritatively stated that the possibilities of getting a colored regiment during the present administration are very remote. Gov. Sulzer has been spoken to regarding the proposed regiment, but has referred the matter to Adjt. Gen. Hamilton, who has passed the matter along to Maj. Gen. O'Ryan. The general impression is that if Gov. Sulzer All persons will be respected. one official put it: "It's up to Suiker. The "social equality" bugaboo is said to be back of the opposition shown by the officers of the National Guard to having colored regiments in this State. They seem to be laboring under the impression that the National Guard is a social, instead of a military organization, which makes it possible for them to shine at pink teas in gold braid, etc. It was given out this week by Maj. Gen O'Ryan that Negroes could join the National Guards but only as members of the various auxiliary corps. They can become connected with the Quartermaster's Corps, the Ambulance Corps and the Sanitary Troop. Maj. Gen O'Ryan will gladly make colored members of the National Guard under such conditions, which are due to his inability to secure white men to fill the vacancies existing in these corps. Men attached to the Quartermaster's Corps, Ambulance Corps and Sanitary Troops are required to do drudgery. Their work is laborious and distasteful. For that reason few white men care to become connected with the auxiliary corps, hence the opportunity for from three hundred to five hundred Negroes to serve in the capacity of scullions. Maj. Fillmore Sees National Guard Head. Monday evening, Maj. Charles M. Fillmore, who has been the leading spirit in the forming of a Provisional Regiment, had a conference with Maj. Gen. O'Ryan, at the latter's office, 280 Broadway. The result of the meeting was not satisfactory to Maj. Fillmore, as Maj. Gen O'Ryan did not express himself as favoring the recruiting of a colored regiment. However, he said he was not opposed to the enlistment of colored men for the Quartermaster's and Ambulance corps and the Sanitary Troop. Maj. Fillmore informed the head of the National Guard that the colored men were not looking for places which were considered undesirable by white men. Maj. Gen. O'Ryan spoke of the prettiest cuffs, etc., the colored soldiers would wear, but was told by Maj. Fillmore that the colored men were looking for more than pretty suits, that they were destroys of positions of honor and trust. Maj. Fillmore made a plea that the heads of the National Guard consent to the recruiting of a battalion of infantry to 350 men, which would be considered a nucleus for the formation of a command in the future. Maj. Gen. O'Ryan stated that while he was not opposed to colored men enlisting, he thought the officers would be opposed to such a move, admitting, however, that the National Guard was short two battalions in force. New York Conditions favoring a colored regiment are less propitious than during the Dix regiment. It was thought that with ex-Adj. Gen. Verheck out of the National Guard, having been deposed when Gov. Sulzer took office, the Negro citizens would be afforded a better opportunity to get a colored regiment. The ex-Adj. Gen. did all in his power to preserve a colored regiment from being The New York Age. NO MEETING PLACE CHOSEN Morris Prevents Vote Being Taken to Determine Where Next Session of B. M. C. Is To Be Held—May Decide Question in July. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 21.—There was very little done at the meeting of the Sub-committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, which was held here last week. Grand Master Edward H. Morris kept the situation well in hand and prevented the members from selecting a meeting place for the next B. M. C. Although some of the officials wanted to vote and decide the question, Morris made it known that he was opposed to the plan, and blocked his opponents at every turn. The next meeting of the Sub-committee of Management will be held in July, when a meeting place for the next B. M. C. will be most likely chosen. The Ben Davis faction, represented by Henry Lincoln Johnson and W. L. Houston, favored Columbus, O., while the Morris faction wants the next B. M. C. held at Boston. William R. Morris of Minneapolis, was re-elected a member of the Supreme Court, his term having expired; Harry Cummings of Baltimore, was re-elected Attorney General, and H. P. Slaughter was returned as editor of the Odd Fellows Journal. AWARDED $3,500 DAMAGES. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE NORFOLK, Va., Jan 21.—An all-white jury in the United States Circuit Court awarded Samuel L. Burton $3,500 damages Saturday for the loss of his store and home in a race riot at Onancock, Va., on August 10, 1910. Mr. Burton entered suit several years ago for $100,000 damages, making the town and five citizens of Onancock defendants. The case was argued here some months ago on a demurrer and the town was released, but the individual defendants held. W. Ashie Hawkins, a member of the law firm of Hawkins and McMechen Baltimore, made the argument against the demurrer. HAMPTON NOT AFFECTED Mai R. R. Meyer Sears Institution, hurt by Action of Southern Democrats - Indians Insist on Attending Hampton, Although Appropriation Is Cut Off. Last week THE AGE published a story from Washington, D. C. concerning the cutting off of an appropriation of $12,000 a year which has been made to Hampton Institute for twenty years for the education of Indian boys and girls at that school. This action was fathered by Congressman Stevens of Texas chairman of the committee on Indian appropriations, and was based on objectives by southern Democrats to the association of Indians with the Negroes on equal footing. About eighty Indian students attend Hampton and the appropriation represented about $197 or cents. Mai R. R. Meyer, who is in the city in discussing the matter, said that the school was not affected in the slightest by the withdrawal of this appropriation by the Democrats. So far as the Indians are concerned all of them who had been at Hampton returned refusing to go elsewhere, many concerning work their way. However few are provided for from other sources. Not only have all the old students returned but since the opening of school a number of new ones have arrived. At a meeting of the Democratic congress in this city last Sunday a copy of The Air was produced and the story of action was considered. The Congress will investigate the matter and will make strong protest against the action taken. The Congress put itself on record as being opposed to the attitude of the southern Democrats who object to the associations of Irish and New Orleans. TO FORM BRANCH AMONG THE NATIVES National Negro Business League to Have Organization on Gold Coast, West Africa A branch of the National Negro Business League is to be organized in West Africa among the enterprising natives. Charles Chappelle of Pittsburgh, has been empowered to represent the league in Africa, and has carried away documents given him by Booker T. Washington, president of the Negro Business League, authorizing him to interest the natives in forming a branch. Mr. Chappelle sailed Tuesday on the Mauretania for Liverpool, accompanied by E. M. Ackwou, a native. After spending a short time in Liverpool they will sail for Secconde, Gold Coast, West Africa. Over a year ago Mr. Chappelle went to Africa to look into business conditions. He made arrangements with the native chiefs to export lumber, ivory golds, etc., to America, and several months ago returned to the United States, accompanied by M. Ackwou, who represented the native chiefs. A five-years' contract was made with the Astoria Veneer Mills, located at Long Island City, to furnish the concern with walnut timber from Africa, and the first order was for four thousand tons.

BILLS AGAINST INTERMARRIAGE BEING INTRODUCED IN VARIOUS LEGISLATURES New York, Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota Are Among the States to Take Up the Question of Marriage Between Blacks and Whites NEGROES REGARD THE MEASURE AS WELL SET PLAN TO DEGRADE THE RACE Bill in New York Legislature Will be Bitterly Opposed—Senator Carswell Admits Agitation is the Result of Johnson-Cameron Case—Southern Society Said to Be Directly Interested—Negro Democrats Do Not Think Gov. Sulzer and Legislature Will Take Anti-Miscegenation Seriously. The introduction of bills in the legislatures of several northern States prohibiting marriage or co-habitation between whites and blacks is being resented by the Negro citizens throughout the United States in no uncertain terms. A determined effort will be made to defeat each obnoxious measure which has as its ulterior purpose to degrade the Negro. It is the belief of many that anti-miscegenation bills have been introduced in New York, Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota as the result of a well-arranged plan, and that more than ordinary significance should be attached to the proposed measures by Negroes everywhere. The charge has been made repeatedly that the bill forbidding mixed marriages, which was introduced at Albany last week by Senator William B. Carswell, was done so at the instance of the Southern Society of New York. It is said that the Southern Society sought to have a similar bill passed, two years ago. However, at that time the measure was killed in the committee. In view of the Johnson-Cameron incident the members of the society are of the opinion that they have a better opportunity to have a law passed prohibiting intermarriage at this session of the legislature. Despite the assertion of Senator Carswell to a representative of THE AGE that the majority of self-respecting colored citizens looked with favor on his measure forbidding blacks and whites to marry, an investigation by this paper brought to light that such is not the case. While the Negro citizens are not clamoring for amalgamation of the races, and are not interested in the subject as much as many whites appear to be yet they take exceptions to the passage of any bill has been designed to place the race in a humiliating position. This concerns of opinion is that appended to the higher courts such a law would be declared unconstitutional on the ground that the individual rights and preferences of citizens are being unlawful interfered with. Senator Crawley, who resides in Brooklyn, and who supplied all of his adored and many of his white constitutions, is living a party to such a degrading measure admitted to an AOR representative that the Johnson-Cameron im AUTOMOBILE FUNERAL Hundreds Attend Services of the late George W. Banks, Well Known Headwaiter, Held at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Sunday Afternoon—Was Member of Four Societies. The funeral of the late George W. Banks, one of the most widely known colored head waiters in the United States, who died January 15, at his residence, 2108 Fifth avenue, was held at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, on the Rev. W. P. Hayes officiating. Many were unable to obtain admission and, according to Undertaker J. A. Thomas, who had the funeral in charge, it was one of the largest ever held in New York City. The deceased was a member of good standing in Terry Lodge, G. U. O. O. E. Clubmen's Beneficial League Manhattan Lodge of Elks No. 45 and Southern Beneficial League. Each order held abbreviated services over the remains. Services were begun at 1:30 o'clock and were concluded at 3:45. The pallbearers were selected from the four societies. The remains were taken to Evergreen Cemetery in a $6,800 automobile hearse, and four limousines were used to carry the funeral party. The casket was of box-couch pattern. George W. Banks, who died after an illness of five months' duration, was born in Petersburg, Va. fifty-eight years ago. He was well known in hotel circling and was a charter member of the National Association of Headwaters of this city. He was one of the first to take charge of the Broadway Central Hotel as headwaiter, and at one time was second waiter to the late Fred Allen. In recent years Mr. Banks had charge of the Coleman House at Ashbury Park, N. J., during the summer season, and was second in charge to Joseph S. McLane, headwaiter at the Royal Poinciana Hotel, Palm Beach, Fla., during the winter months. cident had much to do with the introduction of the bill in the New York legislature. He stated that he thought the bill a good one, and declared he could not see anything at which the Negro should take offense. When Senator Carswell was asked if he intended to introduce a hostile bill against the Jews because of the work of "Gyp the Blood" and "Lefty Louie" in the Becker case, and another measure against the race to which the would-be assassinator of Col. Roosevelt belonged, he contended that he was unable to see any analogy in the cases cited. Bill Most Ridiculous. Some of the provisions contained in Senator Car-well's bill appear so ridiculous to both colored and white that they are forced to smile, even when they regard the measure with marked dismay. The sterilization plan is the most ridiculous. The bill makes it a misdemeanor punishable by a $500 fine or a year's imprisonment or both, for a white man to marry a Negro or matatto woman, or a Negro or matatto woman to marry white man, or for any white woman to marry a Negro or matatto, any such marriage shall be null and void, but either person convicted under the act may elect by sworn statement to submit to sterilization to escape the fine or imprisonment. Any clergyman or magistrate who performs the ceremony is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to the same penalty which he cannot escape by the sterilization route as the persons he marries may man. It is also made a misdemeanor for Negroes and whites of different sexes DON'T WANT NEGRO MEMBER. SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK AGE ATLANTA CITY, N. J.

Discussed at Equity Congress. One of the chief topics discussed at the regular meeting of the Equity Congress, held Sunday afternoon at 89 W. 134th street, was the Carswell bill, which was denounced by every speaker as an infamous piece of legislation. Some of the members volunteered to pay their way to Albany and appear before the committee having the bill under consideration and register a strong protest against it. Several of the Democratic members, while taking a vigorous stand against the bill, maintaining that its framers aimed to degrade the race, confidently declared that the measure would never become a law. They expressed doubt as to it ever coming out of the committee, further stating that even if the legislators favored an anti-miscegenation bill Gov. Sulzer would never disgrace the State by attaching his signature to a document that was absurd and unconstitutional and would be a disgrace to the Empire State. The bill was referred to the Committee on Complaints, which will take up the matter and make a vigorous fight against the bill's passage. At the next meeting arrangements will be made to send a delegation to Albany to appear before the committee and acquaint the members of the rank injustice of the measure. Those present at the Equity Congress Sunday promised to send letters to Gov. Sulzer and the members of the legislature protesting against favorable consideration of the measure. ASSAULTED BY POLICEMAN William Blacklock Beaten by Bluecoat Who was Off His Beat—Charges Have Been Preferred Against Polic iceman Whose Badge Number is 7254. William Blacklock, a well-known Negro musician, was assaulted by a police- man whose badge number is 7254 in the kitchen of the Boston lunch room, 135th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenue. S. Vilho, proprietor, early Wednesday morning of last week, and beaten severely that it was more than half an hour before it be recovered con- sciousness. Mr. Vilho was done to china and is very sorry a large quan- tury bomb broke. Mr. Blacklock has been emmulated, it is said by threats. He not only re- tains to give any information concerning the assault, but has asked to proter any charge against the other. From information secured from other sources in Aug. representative learned that Mr. Blacklock was walking through 135th street, in the block between Lenox and Seventh avenues, in company with a white woman. The policeman saw them, and presumably because it was a Negro with the woman, crossed the street, getting off his regular beat, and threatened to arrest her. He insisted that Blacklock go with him to the station and preter charges against the woman, and this Blacklock refused to do. The policeman, angry because of this, it is said, struck the woman several severe blows. When this happened Blacklock ran. The policeman saw him go into the Boston lunch room, and followed Blacklock continued through to the fear and the policeman followed him into the kitchen. In there the police officer caught him, and it is said by Oliver Davis, manager, and Chei Platt, the two attacks of the place who were on duty that he assumed Blacklock and beat him so severely that they had to work on him for more than half an hour before he could be revived. Mr. Venie, proprietor of the Boston lunch room, took the matter up. He tried to reach Police Commissioner Waldb but could not do so. Commissioner Waldb's secretary, Sweeney, called on Mr. Velie and investigated the matter, and it is understood that the charges would be thoroughly investigated with strong likelihood of the officer being dropped from the force. Relatives of the officer, it is reported have made strentuous efforts to present prosecution of the charges, but while it appears that the threats which have occurred Blacklock have effectually shut him up, the charge will be pressed by Mr. Venio and the two attachments of the lunch room will testify in the case. The Negroes of Harlem are much interested at the action of the officer and it is proposed to push the case to the last extremity, regardless of the attitude of Blacklock, in the effort to find out if the police in that section of the city have license to use their clubs or pistols under any and all circumstances. --- FORM RACE COMMISSION University Men to Study Southern Race Question in All Its Phases—Six District Committees. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE CHARLOTTSVILLE, Va. Jan. 10—Much is expected of the University Commission on Southern Race Questions, which recently held a conference at the University of Georgia, located at Athens. The commission divided its membership into six district committees, each to have a field of its own. Each committee will study its specially assigned phase of the relation of the Negro to men and measures, life and conditions, in the South, and will report to the whole commission at its next conference, which will be held in December at Richmond, Va. The commission is composed of one member from each of the eleven Southern state universities. The spirit of these men in attempting this great work and the way they are going at it are new in the South. They were eloquently phrased in the opening address of the chairman, Dr. C. H. Brough, of the University of Arkansas. The membership is as follows: Profs. C. H. Brough, University of Arkansas, chairman, W. W. Serrogs, Louisiana State University, Charles W Bain, University of North Carolina; James L. Doster, University of Alabama; James M. Farr, University of Florida; H. H. Farr, University of Georgia; W. D. Farr, in University of Mississippi; J. S. Norse, University of South Carolina; James D Hooker, University of Texas; W. S. Sutton, University of Texas; and William M. Hinkle, University of Virginia, secretary. Chancellor Kenneth at the University of Mississippi attended the Atm conference at James Bollard of New Orleans, Chancellor Burrow of the University of Georgia and President Mitchell, of the University of South Carolina, were elected to honorary membership, and they were named as an advisory committee. Dr. Dollard and Chancellor Harris attended the conference, which lasted two days, and they took part in the discussions. **Work of Various Committees.** The six working committee, the first named member of each chairman are as follows. On religious questions, Profs. Doster, Hedleston and Morse. On educational questions, Profs. Sutton, Farr and Doster. On hygienic questions. Profs. Morse, Hedleston and Baim. On economic questions. Profs. DeLoach, Hokins and Brougl. On civic questions. Profs. Schrogen, Hunley and Sutton. On race adjustment firms, Farr, Bain and Huntle. The aim of the Commission, the plan of its work and the spirit in which it is approaching the task were summed up by Prof. Brought in his address at the opening of the conference. He said in part: "The South is to be congratulated on the fact that she has educational statesmen with far-sighted and philanthropic vision, of the type of Dr. Farr, Dillard, of New Orleans, who has consecrated his rare experience and executive leadership to the social, economic, educational, religious and educational movement of the New Orleans. I feel that this Commission could not better follow his philanthropic commitment to the work thereafter as chairman of the Commission. I am sure she will be along the way." wing lines: (1) What are the conditions? (a) Relief in sustaining excessive denominativeness in the practical in preceding e. (b) Educational self-help.

Nearly 5,000,000 Negro Church Members "There are approximately 4,500,000 church members among the 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States, and these churches represent property values of nearly $40,000,000. Excessive denominationalism and, ecclesiastical rivalry and dissensions prevent the formation of strong, compact organizations among them. There are twice as many church organizations as there should be, congregations; are small, and the salaries paid, their preachers are not large enough to secure competent men. "Educationally, the Negroes of the South have made remarkable progress. In 1880, of the Negro population above ten years of age, 70 per cent, was illiterate. By the end of the next decade this illiteracy had been reduced to 571 per cent, and by the close of the century it had declined to 44.5 per cent. In 1912 there are more than 2,000,000 between the ages of five and eighteen, or 54 per cent of the total number, of educable Negro children enrolled in the common schools of the former slave States, and the percentage of illiteracy among the Negroes is only 27.5 per cent. "There are four well-defined retarding forces to the fullest economic development of the Negro in the South, the tenant system, the one-crop system, the abuse of the credit system, and ruralization. I believe that industrial education, teaching the Negro the lessons the mobility of toil, the value of thrift I honestly, the advantages attaching the division of labor, and the diversification of industry, and the dangers hurking on the seductive credit system, will prove an effective panacea for these self-evident evils. "Therefore, as a Southern man, born, raised and educated in the Commonwealth of Mississippi, I welcome the splendid efforts of such men as Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute; Major Norton of Hampton Institute; Joseph Price of Livingston College, North Carolina; Charles Banks and Isaiah Montgomery of Mississippi; Joseph A. Booker and E. T. Venegar, of Arkansas, in behalf of the industrial education of their race."

For the past two years the Negro citizens of the State have been trying to get a colored regiment in the National Guard. Last fall Gov. Dix informed Maj. Fillmore that he was opposed to a colored regiment, but offered to permit the recruiting of a battalion of field artillery. A meeting of the officers of the Provisional Regiment was held and the proposition made by Gov. Dix was considered. However, after mature consideration it was decided not to accept the compromise, as the members of the regiment knew nothing of artillery tactics, having been drilled as infantrymen. The contention was made by Gov. Dix at the time that the Negro population of the State did not warrant a colored regiment, but that the colored citizens were entitled to a battalion. However, if recruited, the battalion would have to be of field artillery. HARTFORD, CONN Hartford, Conn., Jan. 21.

Judge Robert Carey says if he had his way he would sentence every man in the United States to one day in the penitentiary, one day in the reformatory and a day in the State prison, "in order to teach men to be more charitable and lenient in judging those who are put behind the bars." We should not, he thinks, "condemn others without first learning the circumstances which might have driven the convicted offender to break the law." Here is a great truth contained in Judge Carey's view of hasty judgment of others. Few people, except in the case of their intimates, sympathize with those who get into trouble, nor analyze the circumstances leading up to it; they look at only one side of the question, whereas there are always two and often many others to be reckoned with, and continue to do so until trouble "comes as a thief in the night" upon them or theirs. "The charity that covers a multitude of sins" is often withheld from others when it is knocking at the door of every one all of the time. We should not be hasty in judging others. The same judgment is liable to be visited upon us or ours. SAMSON'S RIDDLE. Life has two sides when it has not one and three. Very seldom it has only one side. The St. Louis Advance does not much believe in looking on the bright side when the dark side persists in being uppermost. It says: The optimistic Negro boasts continually of seeing the bright side of the picture of the South on a Negro is a sage. The South on a Negro he says such outrages will only urge the Negro to make more rapid progress. This optimistic fellow makes no estimate of the extent to which such hospitality will depress his heart with Booker Washington that slavery was a blessing. So is the devil a blessing. So is the devil a blessing. But, nevertheless, we ask for none of it for ourselves. You are called a presimist if you predict that a house will be built with Booker Washington. The optimist leans altogether on God. He expects God to build his houses, chop his wood and fry his skew. God helps those who help themselves, and no man can reasonably expect assistance from a skew when he himself is endowed with the capacity necessary to do that work himself. The honest optimist relies upon himself to do for himself what he should do for himself Did Dr. Washington say that "slavesy was a blessing" standing by itself, or as being a hard school in which the Negro learned of the master what he could not learn of the savage African in the Christian virtues. He hung the opposition on the preface. He did not separate them as the Advance does in the quotation. The connected sentence contains a truth somewhat after the riddle Samson proounded for the Philistines, as follows: "Out of the cater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness," and proved it later in one of many ways by slaying a thousand Philistines with the jaw bone of an ass. But the honest optimist not only looks upon the bright side of life; he encourages others to do so, in the darkest hours. Benjamin Lundy and William Lloyd Carson did that; John Brown did that; Wendell Phillips and Frederick Doulglass did that. They blazed the way for liberty for the slave and encouraged others to follow them. Most of them who blazed the way and who followed them lived to be comforted by seeing the black slave a Christian free man, working out his salvation under his own "une and fig tree." Misfortunes are inseparable from every life, but he is wise who makes the most and not the least out of them. Unless he faces them resolutely, optimistically he cannot do so. and eventually from the same institution only later to do their dirty work. The theft of letters and photographs of letters from the Standard Oil Company files, in New York, some time ago, by three Negro employees of the company, and the sale of them to William Randolph Hearst, who has used them in his publications to damage the name and reputation of the Standard Oil Company and of the public men concerned in the correspondence, created a situation criminal and scandalous for the Negro theives and for the white publisher who received the stolen letters and photographic copies of letters, paying a large money price for them, and publishing them in his publications, which was bound sooner or later to reach the criminal courts. Former Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio was one of the public men concerned in the stolen correspondence, and whose good name and reputation were damaged by the publication in the Hearst newspapers of letters detached from their proper relation to other letters, alleged to have been written to and by him, as shown by the letters and photographic copies of letters. In the effort to secure an authentic statement as to the theft and sale of the correspondence as far as he was concerned, Mr. Gilchrist Stewart of New York was employed by Senator Foraker to corner the thieves, if possible, and secure it. Mr. Stewart testified before the Clapp Senate Committee, in Washington, Monday of last week, that while engaged in his work, in Chicago, agents of the Hearst newspapers, posing as officers of the law, arrested him and, taking him to an office in the Hearst building, searched him for documents, some of which appeared subsequently in the Hearst newspapers, and after detaining him until late in the morning hours, allowed him to go. His apartments were also searched, it is alleged on oath, as were those of one of the theives who stole the correspondence? The three Negroes concerned in the theft of the correspondence from the files and letter press books of the Standard Oil Company are a disgrace to themselves and to the Negro race, and should be prosecuted and sentenced the limit of the law. Their violation of the confidence of their employers is one of the gravest offenses an employee can be guilty of, and adds another to the multitude of stumbling blocks Negroes have to overcome in securing and holding positions of honor, trust and profit. Negroes who commit such breaches of confidence, such crimes against their employers, are more to be censured than white persons who do the same things, because they are marked people, marked by the law and public opinion, marked by their color, "as strangers in a strange land," and, whether they will or no, incriminate all of them by their evil works, as they, reversely, exalt all of them by their good works. When men, when a race of men, find themselves so marked, "strangers in a strange land," where all are held responsible for the acts of one, they owe an obligation to themselves which persons not so marked do not owe to themselves, because what they do reacts only on them and not upon their alleged race and class. It is not agreeable in any wise for a man or a race to have such a situation fronting him, with which he must contend in all walks of life, in all avenues of employment, every moment of his life; but the sooner the Negro understands the fact to be a fact and shaped his conduct accordingly the more success we shall have everywhere in working out our race salvation as "men and brethren" and as men and citizens. The Negro should understand now as never before that his efforts to make good in this country, to come into his full inheritance as a man and a citizen, depends entirely upon himself, upon the capacity and good faith he displays in all of the relations of life. He has fifty years of Christian freedom and education behind him, he has laid a good foundation in average morality, industry, thrift and business initiative and development, but he had a more pronounced and active sympathy and helpfulness from his white fellow citizens in the past fifty years than he will be likely to have in the next fifty. Already those "who knew not Joseph" have arisen in the places of those who did, and are withdrawing sympathy and financial assistance from their needed works of education, church and charity, and giving employment to the "white stranger" from Europe rather than to "the black stranger" at home. The conduct of a Jack Johnson in Chicago and a Sam Cross and his wife in London and of a Winfield in New York—Negroes not of the highest lot of the lowest character and standing—has aided in making a hard situation for the Negro harder, not only in the United States but in Europe, white Africa, Australia, and the islands of the sea. The Standard Oil Company and its allied interests employ hundreds of thousands of men, but hereafter, because three went wrong, proved unreliable, and caused the company infinite trouble and scandal, they will be suspicious of every Negro who applies to them for work and will keep a sharp eye on all those now in its service. As for Mr. William Randolph Hearst, as the inciter to and the purchaser of stolen goods, as the kidnapper and searcher of the person employed to search out the rascality, the law should have no trouble in reaching him and his agents and measure out to them the punishment legally prescribed for such offenses. He has been a disturbing influence in New York journalism and American politics some twenty years, with his hand against every man and the hand of every man against him, an Ishmaelite of the Ishmaelites, and he would breathe more freely and the nation would breathe more comfortably if he should have to face a judge and jury and fight for his right to stir up race strife, to provoke discord between labor and capital, to incite to assassination, to encourage the theft of property, to purchase it and to use it boastfully for his own glory and profit, and to kidnap and search those who are designated to run down his dupes and get at the truth. Anyhow, we are glad Mr. Gilchrist Stewart escaped with his life and lived to tell the Clapp Committee all about it. We desire for The Age this year 5,000 new readers, and we are going to work to get them. We will thank the old readers of The Age to help us in the good work. Prof. Richards of Boston has broken out with the advice that people should be barefooted all the time, or wear shoes all the time, or wear weather if they want to enjoy good health. Prof. Richards evidently desires to break up the Shoe Trust, but he can't get any assistance from us or, we believe, the threat of mankind. His sheerless world is out of the question. Fruit eaters, and they are legion, will regret to learn that the frost last week killed thirty-four million dollars worth of fruit in California. Shippers found it necessary to cancel orders for 30,500 carloads of fruit. The price of fruit, especially the orange and apple on the corner sort, is bound to go up. If there is any needful thing to eat on which the price has not gone up, is going up, or whats to go up, we don't know anything about that thing. With only one Republican voting for him, sixty-seven Democrats voted Monday of last week to impeach Judge Robert W. Aryebold of Pennsylvania of "high crimes and misdemeanors," to remove him from office and to declare him "disqualified forever for any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States." There have been only nine men tried by the Federal Senate on impeachment since the foundation of the government, that of President Andrew Johnson being the most notable. Of the six judges tried three were convicted. Mayor Gaynor of New York says a splendid revenue could be got from a "tax on hypocrites," which would the same time drive many "tax dodgers" out of the city, as a splendid idea. It could be adopted by the nation with very great advantage. A hypocrite. The Acre makes haste to define, is a person who deliberately lies when he tells the truth and deliberately tells the truth when he lies. The nation is overrun by them, as the rata of Terah of Herat overran the land of Canaan in the days of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. By all means put a tax on hypocrites, or they will devour the land. Rhinelander Waldo may be the next Governor-General of the Philippines they say. He is Police Commissioner of New York and has seen service in the islands. The American Negroes residing in the Philippines are interested in having a man of Mr. Waldo's liberal character succeed Mr. Cameron Forbes of Massachusetts. A valued correspondent in Manila writes us that there is no such rank prejudice against the Negro now as there was under Governor-General Taft twelve years ago in the Philippines. Taft would also would make a good Governor-General for all the residents of the islands. Fifty years of freedom may not be regarded as a great big thing for the Negro by some white people, but it has been worth vastly more than his 240 years of slavery. It depends upon the viewpoint. The Negro has laid his foundation in Christian manhood and citizenship in the past fifty years, and he would build manhood in the next fifty years. It is up to him to do so, whether his white brother wants or does not want him to do so. Each man, each race, each nation, is the architect of its own fortunes. Why can't we also have a one hundred thousand Young Men's Christian Association building in New York, just like they have in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Chicago. The money for the building is here in Greater New York for such a building for our men and another for our women. Indeed, we need four such buildings, two downtown and two upstown. The first move is the thing. President-elect Wilson thinks 13 is lucky. He says: "Thirteens have always been running through my life in connection with some good fortune. Did you ever hear of such a thing before? The New York Sun calls attention to the fact that the 13 original colonies became the 13 original States achieved their greatest successes on land and sea in the year 1813. Anyhow, President Wilson and all of us will know more about it at this fixed time in 1814 than we do now. Great things are expected of the new parcel post service, but the bloated express companies that have long enjoyed a monopoly of the service do not appear to be much frightened at Government competition. Perhaps they are only laughing to keep their courage up. The Postmaster-General thinks, however, that the Government should secure the franchises of the express companies in order to make sure the success of the parcel post service. The International Hotel Workers' Union ordered the New York waiters to strike on New Year's, but the waiters refused to strike. Why? Because New Year's day in New York is the richest day in all the year for "tips." To interfere with the right of the waiters' "tips" on New Year's of all days shows that the authorities of the Union are very ignorant instead of very wise in their day and times. The white waiters all over the country have a dangerous case of "strike disease." Mr. Andrew Carnegie thinks, the world is ripe for peace, and declares that "sooner or later the killing of men in battle is to be banished from civilized lands." It is a generous thought, one that war-taxed people in all lands could wisely think about, with a voice so that rulers and law-makers in the world might hear the deal. The thunder-monument of it at the same instant and be convinced for all time: the whole world needs relief from the bleak burglars of war and the drills of war debts and pensions. Mr. Carnegie has done more than any lawyer to promote peace. But the war rumors for 1913 are numerous and threatening. We are living too fast as a nation, Dr. Robert N. Wilson, Jr., told the Social Problem Class in Philadelphia recently and are going to smash on the rocks of nervous disorders. He thinks we "need an admixture of foreign blood, which we Americans so openly deplore at the present time." And yet the last naturalized American makes haste to strike the "better than bad" attitude and to make himself a person in the face of a race in the raw the American people of this generation have much grossing to do before they come to a national type again. The movement to abolish capital punishment for life imprisonment is receiving much consideration at this time. Take the case of Jesse Pomeroy, who has spent nearly forty years in solitary confinement in the Massachusetts prison at Charlestown, who is now fifty-three years old, and who has just made another attempt to escape; would it not have been more humane to have shot him for forty than have tortured him for forty Certainly? Take the thousands of Negroes now serving life sentences in the convict camps and chalgangs of the Southern States, "rescengible hells," Gov. Donnighy of Arkansas calls them Luther McKinley, the new "White Gene" who whipped Al Farah on New Years day, says he will never fight a Negro. Very well. The white champion who refuses to meet all camera is a white coward, who never will gain in fair fight the championship in pugilism now held by the black champion who won it of the white champion at Reno, July 4, 1810. The white race in Europe and America have shamely proclaimed it that they are the physical inferiors of the black race, and will yet be compelled to acknowledge that they, who have adopted the American tradition, must be the Almighty God of Abra-Ham through the Most High God of Shem of Eve, are also mental inferiors. It is written on the wall, is the truth of prophecy. There are millions of black folks in the United States even who have white faces. Where did they get them? They got them from the black mothers their white fathers raped. Is 13 an uncanny number? It has been. Van Loon met his friend the other day, says the great American theorist, and throbbing in his hands, cried: "Why, man, aren't you afraid of this day?" "What's the matter with this day?" "This day! This day is the 13th day of the 13th month of the 13th year." "Why, Van, there is no 13th month!" "But there is. December is the 12th month and January is bound to be the 13th." A great many persons ran everything together just like that. Joseph Ettor of the Independent Workers of the World has horrified the country by advising the striking hotel waiters of New York, in a public address, that "if they are compelled to return to work without winning their point to make it "the unaffected thing in the world for the capitalist to eat food prepared by members of your union." Now, what more dangerous advice could striking waiters get than that? In Troy, New York, when held up at the meal hour by the labor committee, the proprietor of the Van Ransauer Inn, signed the agreement, and then after meal hour discharged the fifty-five labor employees and put Negro help in their places. Hotel workers should have better hours, food, housing and pay, but violent methods will harder rather than further their cause. And they never will succeed while they exclude Negroes from membership in their unions. Statesmen of Great Britain are working upon a plan of education that will link the primary school with the university, "so that the child of any man can climb to the top through his mental capacity rather than through the aid of money." We should have such a plan in this country, so that the graduates of the high school could pass right into the universal universities of having to respond for their secondary school. The entire school course should be reduced, revised and simplified. Too much is taught which has no value in the actual affairs of life. Education should be shaped from the primary to the end of the course to prepare the student to fit into the every day life and work of the world. Congressman Timothy "Dry Dollar" Sullivan, one of the famous characters of New York City's famous East Side, in which the Bowery and Chinatown are located, has been sent to a private sanitarium, and it is said he will no more be active in Tammany Hall politics or the pictureque life of the East Side. His nervous system has become deranged. It is a disease common to thinkers who do the world's work. Sometimes they come back when they break down but oftenest they pass on and out into the darkness and are soon forest except by the few who knew and loved them. WASHINGTON D.C. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. Describes that the regiment entered the army it was installed in the division of Negro troops in the Army and recruited and trained in the Army. Washington was done in the Army. Walters elaborates in the conference only for the purpose of considering plans for the regiment of the army and that legislation in which to have to be passed by Congress but the four colored regiments could be discontinued. Those who are opposed to colored troops will have to wait until after the new regime gets in before something delineate in that direction may be done.

"Jimcrow" Law Before U. S. Supreme Court. Washington, January 22.—Whether or not the "Jimmycar" car laws of the South are applicable * to passengers travelling from one State to another will probably be determined by the United States Supreme Court in the near future. The question will probably arise in an appeal that has been filed by the Alabama and Vicksburg Railroad against the court of the Mississippi Court in awarding a white woman, $2,000 damages for alleged "distress of mind and body caused by being forced to occupy a earth or air which also had colored occupants when she was awarded $15,000 damages by the lower court, but the highest court in Mississippi reduced the damages to $5,000. Should the United State Supreme Court affirm the decision of the Mississippi tribunal, the railroads traversing those States that have separate car laws also be also to furnish sepa- Dollars not owed to the case.

Ready for a Good Year's Work. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 22.—Dr. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board reports that affairs are well straightened out in the new quarters and the board is pushing for a good year's work. Every effort is being made for the observance of the Livingstone Centenary, March 19-23. The centenary was hundred years ago, David Livingstone was born in Scotland. Thirty years of his life were spent in Africa. To him, Dr. Jordan says, we owe the destruction of the land to the people and he died on his knees praying for the long wronged children of that benighted land. The whole Christian world will celebrate the centenary and the centenary will be sent free to all Sunday schools to be carried out Sunday, March 23. The office of the Foreign Mission is at 624 18th street. Philadelphia Fire at Brewer Normal. Greenwood, S. C., Jan. 21.—One of the main buildings of Brewer Normal School for colored people was completely destroyed last week by fire, which originated on the second floor from a defective flue. The girls and white women teachers, who occupied the building, escaped. The automobile fire truck was soon on the scene but truck was still moving. The nearest hydrant was 200 yards away and the water pressure was low, the school being located just outside the city limits. Fire and adolining dining halls were completely destroyed. The fire engine that was later brought out saved the other building. It is estimated that the loss will approach $180,000. The school is supported entirely by Northern interests, and the teaching force, composed of white men and women, comes from the same section. Brewer Normal is supported entirely by Northern interests, and the teaching force, composed of white men and women, comes from the same section.

A Lily White Army The theorists who are starting a propaganda for a "Little White" army had better eliminate the chapters of Port Wagner and Port Hudson in our Civil war histories and those of Los Gimnasias and San Juan of the Spanish war before anti-Soviet great popular support for emigration of the colored man from the races. The wanderer is not that the Native makes such a popular support since the days of amour Egypt, but that he reserves to fight so valiantly and well for a country which indicates so easily infections on his worth and loyalty. They (N, Y) Standard Press. The Attack on the Negro Troops It is announced that when the rank of officers of the army meet in Washington on January 8, a proposal is to be made that the Negro be eliminated as an American soldier. Such a movement is without warrant, dangerous and inquitable. It is in opposition to the spirit, if not the letter, of that clause of the federal constitution which requires that being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The Negroes are a part of the race. No reasons worthy of serious consideration have been advanced why the colored regiments should be discontinued. We are told that the Filipinos possess troops, and that there are signs of dissatisfaction in Hawaii because the Twenty-fifth infantry has been sent to the island to form a permanent garrison. Well, it is not unnatural that the troops. In the days of the insurrections they had some very unpleasant passages at arms with them. Among army officers there was no question about the elimination of the colored population in the memory of San Juan Hill was fresh. Regular troops are not maintained and paid to attend pink tea functions or to delight the artistic sensibilities of the troops, and it ought to matter very little whether or not they are liked by the reformed Moros of the Philippines or the unnaturalized Japanese of the Haitian people. If they are afraid of the filipinos, who possibly are jealous of their records, at least it ought not to matter so long as they are brave and trustworthy, and it is significant that the officers who come in direct contact with the enemy are now rushing to their defense. It is a fact, also, whether some people like it or not; that the Negro as a citizen has a moral right to fight and defend the country, and so it is a question whether he does not gain in manliness and steadiness and self-respect by being placed in a position peculiarly suited to bring out his primitive nature. There are some things for which the Negro is not well suited, but he is a good steady, trustworthy fighter under a white leadership, and his fair share of the nations work along this line—Detroit Free Press. Miss Martel will answer through this column questions of interest to women. Address her in care of THE ART. A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE (BY MAY MARTEL.) Is discrimination against Negroes in restaurants and other public plaques on the increase in New York City? Lawyers and others in position to know say the signs point that way. A few weeks ago an intelligent, well dressed colored woman went into Childs restaurant in 34th street, accompanied by two white women. Upon seating themselves at a table the waitresses proceeded to serve the white women, but told them "their maid" (referring to the colored woman) would have to be served in the back. They indignantly protested, the colored woman informing the headwaiter that she held, a higher position than he did, and she would not be "Jim-crowed." The trio then left the restaurant and the colored woman has brought suit, which will be fought through to the highest courts. This little colored lady is entitled to great credit, for she is fighting not only her own battle, but that of 100,000 Negroes in Greater New York. Things are coming to a pretty pass when a cheap place like Childs presumes to discriminate against any person of respectable demeanor and dress. Negroes should either break up the place in law suits or compel similar treatment accorded those of other nationalities. Too many Negroes either become indifferent or tamely accept insult and humiliation. They get very indignant at the time, but when it comes to a matter of dollars and cents to test the extent of their indignation they cool off—usually in rapid fashion. We have got to learn, however, to do as other races—sacrifice for a principle. We will sacrifice for pleasure, but for things vitally affecting our manhood or womanhood we get "cold feet." In Cologne, Germany, there is a statue which has a bas relief showing scenes during the Franco-Prussian war. One of these has the figures of women stripping off their jewels and finery and even cutting off their hair in order to raise money for the war. We are not required to make such extreme sacrifices, but we must learn that "the who would be free must himself strike the blow." It is indicative to expect our white friends to put up Mme. E. Azalia Hackley at Hampton Institute. An interesting, instructive and pleasing "Musical Festival and Demonstration in Voice Culture" was given at Hampton Institute, Saturday evening, January 11, by the entire student body of nearly one thousand voices under the direction of E. Azalia Hackley. Mme. Hackley was greeted by an appreciative audience in respect of representative white and colored who expressed themselves repeatedly by enthusiastic applause. The more than three hundred girls, with their beautiful white waists and dark skirts, the five hundred boys in their well-fitting blue uniforms and soldierly bearing, the flags, buntings and footlight decorations of palms and ferns made a most beautiful and pictureque scene. At the end of Part 2, Mme. Hackley was the recipient of many handsome dowers. Attached to the largest bouquet was a card which bore the inscription: "To Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, in token of our appreciation, from the Hampton Boys." Dr. Prissell, principal of Hampton Institute, in behalf of the faculty teachers, others and students, thanked him.

And, "believe me," we have got to do it or be content to remain a race of serfs to the end of the chapter. AN INVESTMENT There never was a truer word spoken than the sentence in the Bible which says: "With what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again." And we have no need to go to the dictionary to find out what that old fashioned word "mete" means. We find it out every day we live. We receive the measure that we give—scant if we give scant measure, full to overflowing if that is what we give to others. We get it back. Now, the best treasure of life is friendship. Nothing else so satisfies. To be surrounded by good friends is the best thing in the world. And this treasure belongs to the friendly. It is the blessing of those who care for others. They get it back. All the kind thoughts and words are repaid with abundant interest. It is known that these friendly persons defend their friends, that they have a habit of estimating actions according to the better rather than according to the worse, that they speak well rather than ill of others. It is an investment. Each is paid back in its own coin, with interest.—Ladies' Home Journal. GIVE (By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.) Give, and thou shalt receive. Give thought of cheer.

C. Lawton and others. The clubs of Greater New York are working zealously along their respective lines and were never in a more prosperous condition. Mrs. Lawton recently organized a mother's club as an auxiliary to the Hope Day Nursery, which is composed of a substantial class of women. Their first public meeting and collation at the nursery a few weeks ago was a the affair. In addition to this Mrs. Lawton organized an empty stocking circle, the members bonoring the organizer by calling the M. C. Lawton Empty Stocking Circle. This club is destined to become a valuable factor in the community.

Loss in business; death of loved ones and other troubles too numerous to mention, were driving me to a state of frenzy. A friend told me to write you for information regarding the system of two Loadstones and their power. As a last resort I did so, and later purchased two of them. Since then the great change in my career has been so remarkable as to be almost beyond belief. My business increased rapidly, and not a thing has occurred to mar my state of happiness. You are at liberty to use this letter as reference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about through the power and influence of two Loadstones.

CALLS FOR MOTHERED ACTS DRAMATIC AND ATLETICS THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1913 RECENTLY managers of wunderville businesses have developed a habit of enthusiastically referring to the style of entertainment presented by using such terms as "polite wunderville" and "refined wunderville." After listening to the talk used by several colored acts which played at two theatres in Huron last week I find myself wearing if the acts in question could resume work at theatres where such adjectives as "polite" and "refined" are used. There is no disposition on my part to embarrass the acts I have in mind, and I do not intend to make my specific references as to their identity. However, I sincerely hope that if they happen to read what I have to my on the subject they will take my warning seriously, for the day is not far distant when acts containing course talk and which take liberties with the English language by using words never seen in the dictionary will be unable to secure banking at even the five-cent theatre. My first visit was to the Crescent Theatre, where I arrived just in time to see a team come out and wrestle with the English zealously, if not intelligently. One of the first "acts of chivalry" the member threatened to commit "to hand his black soup bone" (meaning his fist) over the young boy's head. I looked around to see if he pulled a length with this "joke," but not even a smile did I see. Then the female member commenced to use the word "gentlemen" with marvel frequency, and I noticed that many in the audience commented on the use of a word that Mr. Noah Webster and his successors have never seen it to print. I have seen this act at least three times, and in each instance the female member has shown a preference for "gentlemen". Why some of her friends have not told her that there is no such word as "gentlemen" and that she should my gentlemen is a mystery to me. And while denouncing the would-be word "gentlemen" I am forced to admit that the female member of this act is not the only one when I have heard innocently enter it on the stage, entirely unconscious that they were "cutting a hog." Wending my way to the Franklin Theatre, I entered just as a male and female were making their appearance on the stage. They became involved in an animated conversation, and from what I planned the young lady was scoured of stealing a pair of shoes. Many colored acts are included to think that there must be some stealing done in order to occasion murder. With reference to the act at the Franklin Theatre it would have been detainable enough if the woman had changed the man of being a third. But to try to be funny by continually dischairing that a woman stoke a pair of shoes, horrors! The male member of this act further distinguished himself by springing a "Joke" in which the words foot and mourn were used. I am glad to state that the would-be joke fell in flat as a mistake, meeting the fate it deserved. If some of the colored acts I see from time to time depict in their work the lives they lead off the stage they certainly have my sympathy. About three months ago a white theatrical manager accompanied me to the Greencast Theatre one evening to see a promising colored comedian of whom he had heard much praise. While waiting for the comedian to appear a colored act, consisting of a man and woman, sought to entertain by representing characters man only in the dives and immoral humours of a city. The male character threatened to beat the female if the did not go out and bring him more money. My white friend shock has not said indeed if the two performers could not serve the colored people better by depicting types which would reflect credit on the race. I shamefully admitted that they could, but expected ignorance as to why they didn't. In this era when the stage is being elevated and is giving "retired vandalier" it is necessary that all performers, not some of them, be refined in their work, as well as show some knowledge of the English language. The day for acts in which members have to indulge in stealing, shooting cans and besting women is past. --- A peculiar phase of the so-called Negro question is that any white man with a small reputation can attract the attention of the daily press and get into print by making exceptional, inconsistent, abused statements as to what he thinks of the Negro, while the citizens of repression—black or white—who give expression in which they view on the more question are optimistic and favorable to the Negro get but little consideration, if any. So, when Hopkinson Smith, humorist, writer and painter, stood before the pupils of the Camden, N. J., High School some weeks ago that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has done more harm to the world than any other, book ever written, he made it possible to get into the hands of Mr. South declared that he thought the book gave the world "an erroneous conception of the life of the Negro and conditions before the war," and attributed much of the bitter resentment that prevailed in the South for so many years after the war to the general infighting engendered by statements in Mrs. Stone's book. The humour was included to think that the general condition of the Negro has not improved since the war, and that the offended population of the South was much happier and much better taken care of in the days of slavery. A reporter of a New York daily called at Taxx Am office to inquire if it was true that the colored people were much happier and better cared for during the days of slavery. I informed him that I knew no more of slavery than he, and therefore was unable to speak authoritatively about ante-bellum days and its "pleasant" conditions. However, he was referred to the fact that a colored tramp was a novice, and that the same thing could not be said of white tramps. The newspaper man was informed that the colored people were happy, and he went away without any material for an unfit, so when Russell he was given at The Ask office did not formulat the nucleus for a sensational story. As Mr. Smith is a humorist and is seldom taken seriously, the colored and white citizens seem to regard his vaporing as a joke. In fact, he was funnier doing his "Uncle Tom's Cabin" stunt than at any time during his career. Several northern papers proceeded to ridicule Mr. Smith for his nonsense, the Boston Journal declaring: John Ward Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic" must be the most humorous written and "nothing more baleful could have occurred at that time, with the possible exception of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. This New England paper observes surely that we may book to Mr. Smith for a broadside against the Braves for their modern grusade and their liberation of the Moorish victims of the putrid Turk."

Declarating that the humorist is "wholly at sea," the Philadelphia I/our comments as follows: As is well known, Mr. Stowe wrote her book to reconcile the North and the South. She fully expected to be buried in the North for the friendly attitude which she showed to the institution of slavery in the most surprised woman on earth to find that it was the South which condemned her book. What angered the South was the sentiment aroused by the barbarianism described, and in no measure lessened by the other side of the picture. What madded Southern people was thus about the book was prescribed, it was read secretly by every woman in the South who could get hold of it. These bore the chief burden of slavery and they knew the truth of the story. Slavery benefited the Negro in America, but was a terrible drawback to the white man and to the white man. The South has gained more than the North by emancipation, and Mr. Smith is making himself ridiculous by his talks fifty years after the fact. Hopkinson Smith's funny address at Cambridge has increased his fame as a humorist. But perhaps he is inclined to grieve because he was not taken seriously in condemning Mrs. Stowe's great book. CRESCENT THEATRE Herbert and DeKalb, a white act, made the most favorable impression at the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week. The Veterans of '63 were killed as the feature act, and the vocal efforts of the quartet pleased. Minstrel Morris is a juggler of ability, and along with his juggling stunt he does an entertaining monologue. Nugent and White have not been long from the southland. No one will wonder why the colored theatres in many southern cities are no better patronized by the better element of colored people if this act is a sample of what performers are in the habit of putting over below the Mason and Dixon line. The best part of the act is the attractiveness of the female member. One of the efforts of the man to appear funny is to expectorate on the stage—something new in theatrical. Monday after their first show they were ordered to cut out many objectionable features by the Crescent management, but they were not made prune enough. FRANKLIN THEATRE Harrison and Viola Stewart opened in a new act at the Franklin Theatre Monday, and won applause in their sketch, which consisted of talking, singing and dancing. Mr. Stewart played the role of a police officer of ebony hue, who had a fondness for mashing on the females on his beat. His sins finally found him out, as he was caught by his wife, with whom he unconciously flirted, his spouse diagnosing herself behind a veil. However, all end happily. Johnny Woods, who always makes good in Harlem as a ventriloquist, reported his former successes. Delly Woods and Hamilton made their first appearance in Harlem as a team, making a favorable impression. Miss Carrie Michaels is cashier at the Franklin Theatre, and Mrs. Florence Duncan is head usher.

Says Monticello Quint has "Cold Feet." To the Sporting Editor of The Age: The Monticello basketball team of Pittsburgh, since its sham victory over Howard University last year at Pittsburgh, has been pretending that it is anxious to meet Howard in Washington. Negotiations were entered into by the management of the two teams and the Monticellos accepted the proposition of Washington in January 17. Their communication stated definitely that they would be on hand without fall on the above named date, the only stipulation being as to rules and money. Contracts were sent them and advertisement of the game was begun on large scale. They held up the contracts until just three or four days prior to the date for which the game was scheduled and then returned them unsigned giving us as a reason that the team was True Reformers Hall was unsatisfactory.

Pittsburgh was telegraphed concerning the arrangement. It took two days to answer the telegram and the reply came in one word, "Unattractive." With regard to the True Reformers Hall, it is by no means an ideal court, but it is the best we can procure; furthermore, it is better than the court on which Howard played Pittsburgh in that city last year. Again, the game there was advertised to be refereed by Hans Wagner, the celebrated National Leaguer, who was said to know more about basketball than about baseball. It finally developed that Mr. Wagner for some reason was not officiated, and the game was turned over to a gentleman who deliberately handed the victory to Pittsburgh. After the game he openly confessed that he was not up on the rules. This is history now, and I only mention it to emphasize the fact that Pittsburgh realizes that it "lucked" out a victory over Howard last year which did not earn and deserve. Rather that it should again it chooses to sneak out of the contest. In other words it has cold feet. We admit that from a technical point of view, it might have been unbusinesslike on our part to advertise the game before contracts were signed, but taking it for granted that the victory would have been a sequel went ahead according to the law of good faith, a method by which some CRESCENT 36-38 West PRICES MATINERS All Seats . 10c Buses . 25c EVENTS All Seats . 10c Buses . 25c John B.

Spin, Recy of the most important transactions in the world have been and are carried on. Unfortunately for Howard, there are not enough representative schools, among Negroes, playing basketball for Howard or any other Negro school, to restrict its game to school teams. In order to keep up the sport, she has had to rely for games on clubs some of whom have nothing to lose in breaking faith. Had the Monticellos been connected with some representative school the school could have been brought to account, for its reputation would have been at stake. I wish to state that this is in no way meant to a reflection on all clubs, for some time who resisted it of much higher order than some individual men in schools; further, some of the clubs with whom we have had to deal have been perfectly straightforward in all their transactions with us. Now let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Pittsburgh in several of her communications, has suggested a game to be played at some time on a neutral course and prepared to play it. The game is inclined to the New York direction. Now let me say here, if Pittsburgh really hasn't the yellow streak which she seems to possess, and if there are any methods under the sun by which we can obtain some binding agreement, we will meet her anywhere.

Howard Mansfield, son, left Several weeks after antitheft post-procedure the time necessary for the maintenance of the skin, and their contributions are augmented by the receipts from the school annual concert, which is always largely patterned. That the school meets a need in the life of the Negro children of New York is shown in the record made. The first season, 1911-12, covering a period of seven months, resulted in more than two thousand lessons being given, at 25 cents each, only twenty of which were free. These were lessons in voice culture and on the various instruments. For the season of 1912-13 classes were added in sight singing, ear training and harmony at 10 and 15 cents per lesson. In the period from November 16 to December 1 there were given 386 lessons in the various departments. Regular terms from September 1 to July 1. There are eleven regular instructors as follows: Violin, David Mannes, David Martin, Theodore Gibson, piano, Miss H. E. Smith, Miss Gertrude Dees, Miss Anna Ross, cello, Wesley Johnson, clarinet, John Russell, brass instruments, E. E. Johnson; voice culture, Mme Selika Williams; sight singing and theory, Eugene Jackson. The plan of the school's work is mapped after that of the Institute of Musical Art, New York, where most of the teachers have studied. All instruction is individual and lessons are either half an hour or one hour, according to the desire of the pupil. There are three orchestras in the school: a junior orchestra of sixteen children under ten years, a string orchestra and the full orchestra of sixty ten. The junior orchestra rehearses Saturday at 2 o'clock, directed by Mr. Sweeney. The string orchestra rehearses Sunday from 8 to 10 o'clock, and the orchestra rehearses Sunday from 8 to 6 o'clock.

The missionary payroll amounts to $2,600 yearly. Six mission schools are supported, two of which are in South Africa. The Bethel Institute at Cape Town has ten missionaries (one for each Bishop L. J.

BIG CONCERT AT CARNEgie HALL The announcement of another Carnegie Hall concert by colored artists for the benefit of the Music School Settlement for colored people will, we are sure, be received with great delight by the colored community of New York. This concert last May was one of the great musical successes of the season. The musical critics of the New York papers received the wonderful playing of the Clief Club Orchestra, the compositions of Messrs. Europe, Tyers, Cook, Johnson and others, as shadowing a school of real American music, and there was a universal demand on all sides for a repetition of the concert. It was too late in the season then to arrange for another concert at that time. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that we are able to announce that on February 12, Lincoln's Birthday—a very appropriate day for such an event—all the good things of last year's concert, together with several new pieces, will be given. In addition to the Clerf Club, which all of our readers know, a chorus of one hundred voices, recruited from some of the colored churches of New York and from the chorus of the Music School Settlement, under the training of Mr. Jackson, the choir leader of St. Mark's Church, will render genuine plantation songs, so dear to the heart of every colored person. Other features which are not yet ready for announcement will complete a program of wide and varied interest, and tickets should be secured early for this event, as a great many thousands were disappointed last year because they could not get seats at the last moment. They will be on sale at this office on and after January 20. Button Spencer, elevator man at the Cumberland Hotel, 24th street and Tird avenue, is on the skist.
