HARLEM'S MANY EATING PLACES
There are Restaurants and Lunch Counters Galore in the District A FAVORITE INDUSTRY More Eating Establishments Are Being Conducted by Negroes Than any Other Business
A Hungry Man Can Get Any Thing from a Sandwich to Diamond Back Terrapin—Patrons Come from Near and Afar.
Eating places are springing up like mushrooms in Harlem. Here, there and everywhere one can find an establishment where food for the inner man is served, and just now you can get anything from a ham sandwich, beans, beans, beans and beef stew to quail on toast and strawberries.
Negroes are conducting lunch counters, lunch rooms, hash houses, restaurants and hotels on a large scale. An investigation by an Age representative disclosed the fact that the race is engaged in conducting more eating places in Harlem than any other line of business. Space will not permit at this time specific mention of all the restaurants in the Harlem district, but reference will be made to some of the best-known establishments. In another article the other eating places will be given consideration.
"A Quiet Place for Quiet People to Live!"
For two years at 89 and for six years at 73 West 134th street. John E. Bradford has flung forth his flag, with the above inscription, over the door of The Bradford, a hotel that caters to the very best element of Negroes. From the first day that his doors opened Mr. Bradford has used the columns of THE Ace to tell the people of the country about his place, and the result can best be told in his own words. Speaking to an Ace representative Mr. Bradford said:
"I have been in business eight years on this block. From the day I opened my doors I have used THE Ace's advertising columns. The result has been that people have come into my hotel from nearly every State in the Union—from Massachusetts to California, from Pennsylvania to Florida—and have told me that they came because they saw my advertisement in THE NEW YORK Ace.
Further questioning led to the information that The Bradford's business is uniformly good, rooms filled, and the dining room is so well patronized that it is kept open day and night. A regular dinner is served from 2 to 9 o'clock p.m. The employees are all women, over whom Mr. Bradford exercises personal supervision. Patrons of the hotel say that the service is unsurpassed.
There are ten neatly furnished and well appointed bed rooms, and they are constantly occupied by regular and transient patrons. Two cooks and two waiters are required to serve orders.
Harlem's Largest Restaurant.
The success to be achieved by systemizing one's business is shown in a pronounced way by Charles A. Henry in the conduct of his various business enterprises, the scope of which may be measured to some extent by the amount of money handled yearly, which runs from $25,000 to $30,000.
The Empire Restaurant, 68-70 West 135th street, is easily the largest enterprise of its kind conducted by a Negro in New York City. Mr. Henry started this restaurant five years ago, and it has steadily increased in patronage and prestige. Only the best and freshest of food stuffs are used, and a customer can order any article of food desired with the assurance that if it has been possible to procure it in the market the Empire Restaurant has it. As Mr. Henry put it, you can be served with anything you want from strawberries and diamond-back terrapin to a plate of hash.
The appointments of the place are up to date, and the force of helpers employed render the very best service. Two chefs and two second cooks make up the kitchen force, while five girls and one man look after the dining room. The employees are treated fairly, honorably and liberally. It is a boast of the proprietor that no one has ever left his employ that did not remain a friend.
A special breakfast for 13 cents is served from 5 to 11 o'clock a.m., and at 25 cents from 12 noon to 2 p.m. The a la carte service is available at all hours of the day and night.
At the present time Mr Henry is preparing to open in the basement of his building a quick lunch counter and sea food grill. The kitchen will be moved from instillts to the basement, and a feature of the improvement will be that the microwave to sanitary conditions will prevail upon ranges for the cooking will avoid the accumulation of unhealthy rubbish and the floors and walls will be watered that they can be kept free and clean all the time.

THE NEW YORK AGE 3 Cents Per Copy in Greater New York Only
COMMENCING THIS WEEK, THE NEW YORK AGE WILL BE SOLD IN GREATER NEW YORK FOR THREE CENTS A COPY. The AGE has the largest BONA FIDE CIRCULATION of any Negro newspaper published. Figures do not mislead. Our books are open for inspection any time.
The Management intends to increase the circulation of The AGE by at least 20,000 COPIES additional weekly during the year. It will first confine its efforts at home, and has, therefore, reduced the price from 5 to 3 cents in Greater New York.
Those who do not buy The AGE regularly should avail themselves of this opportunity to read the Race's LEADING NEWSPAPER each week. Many new features will be introduced.
The AGE is on the streets of Greater New York EVERY THURSDAY MORNING.
food grill will be given special attention, and the lovers of this class of cooking will have special attention given to their wants.
Adjoining this side of the basement, under number 64-66, a store is being fitted up in which a full line of bar glassware and supplies, with various kinds of souvenirs, will be kept. A capable young lady will have charge of this store.
There are three store rooms in the basement also, in which the kitchen supplies are kept, and they are kept stocked with a large and full supply. Perishable stuff is purchased daily in the markets.
Mr. Henry has a number of other business enterprises, and the success of each of them is as great proportionately as the restaurant. At 64-66 West 135th street, next door to the restaurant, is the Hawthorne Billiard Hall, where six of the latest style billiard and pool tables are kept in use all the time. This place is open day and night. The Fifth Avenue Billiard Academy, 2154 Fifth avenue, is open from 10 a.m. until 2 a.m. A new parlor to be known as the Cottage Inn is to be opened at 71 West 132d street. At 2283 Seventh avenue is located the Pleasant Mour candy kitchen and ice cream parlor, where fine candies, pure ice cream and delicious soda is dispensed.
One of the rules of the various business places conducted by Mr. Henry is that no intoxicating drinks are handled, and customers are not even allowed to bring anything of that nature into any of his places. This rule applies to the billiard and pool rooms as well as to the restaurant and candy kitchen. Rentals for the various places conducted by Mr. Henry total more than $5,000 a year.
Leading Dairy Lunch Man.
Two years and nine months ago, with himself as cook and one nail as helper J. W. Rose opened the first dairy lunch owned by a Negro in New York at 34 West 135th street. From the beginning Mr. Rose had in mind the idea of having a place equal in appointment and service to any dairy lunch operated by anybody for any people. For more than a year he worked day and night in the effort to attain this end. After a year success, began to come to him, and to-day he is operating two other places at 401 and 566 Lenox avenue.
The original stand has been improved constantly and is up to date in every way. Here, as in the other two places, everything is as sanitary as it is possible to make it. The floors are of expensive tiling, with wall tiling running up between four and five feet from the floor. Where the wall tiling joins the floor it curves, instead of ending in a right angle, so there is no sharp joint to hold dirt or trash. The walls above the tiling are finished with a special coating which will not hold dust, and the whole place can be washed without being damaged. The counters used are all white marble, and in place of the old-style ordinary water coolers, handsome marble stands, with piping connected with the city water mains, are used in each place inside this marble stand an ice box is placed, in which the pipe is coiled, so that the ice placed on the coil never comes in direct contact with the water. Consequently there is an inexhaustible supply of ice water and the water is always fresh, clear, sparkling and tame. Regular meals are not served, nor do they serve steaks and chops. Only dairy lunch dishes are served, but so wide is the range that the most jaded appetite can find something palatable. There are no dishes served that cost more than 15 cents, save one or two specials on Sundays at 20 cents.

SAM·LUCAS DANCES AT BENEFIT PERFORMANCE
Veteran Actor Shows Them That He is Not All In, Out and Down
Bill Presented at Young's Casino Tuesday
Evening Entertainment—Large Number of
New Acts Work.
Applause was greatest at the big
testimonial performance tendered
Sam Lucas at Young's Casino Tuesday
evening when the dean of the
colored theatrical profession walked
out on the stage shortly before the
conclusion of an entertaining program. The veteran performer feelingly thanked those present for
showing him such kindly consideration by attending in such large numbers. He declared that he was 71
years old and was happy, that after forty years of active service on the stage in this country and abroad he
had decided to retire, and wished
I
everybody good luck. Then he sang I Was All Right in My Younger Days, and did a few dance steps to show that he was not all in down and out as a dancer.
There was quite a turn-out of friends and admirers to the benefit performance, and although but few boxes were taken all the seats on the main floor of the auditorium were occupied. That some sentiment was attached to the occasion was evidenced by the number of church people on hand, some of whom never attend a theatre.
The program presented during the evening was varied and all of the acts were warmly received. Old established acts were conspicuous by their absence, many of the volunteers having new turns. On the bill were Perry Harris, Gates and Bailey, assisted by Bob Slater; H. Chadwick, Blanche Deas, Harrison Stewart and wife, Black Primrose, R. Henri Strange, J. Ras Jones, Mme. Elizabeth Williams, the Sonny Somers Trio, Smith, Creamer and Palmer, Karle B. Kooke, A. G. Brooks and J. Leubrie Hill's Dixielanders. Bob Slater acted as stage manager, and Arthur Ray as assistant. The music was furnished by the New Amsterdam Orchestra, under the direction of William J. Carle. Henry Creamer was master of ceremonies. The ushers were members of the Younger Set Baseball team.
Sam Lucas was born August 7, 1842, at Washington Court House, Fayette County, O. He first appeared upon the American stage in 1873.

TO CLEAN UP MARLEM
Conference of Workers Among Girls and Boys to Co-operate with Police to Stop Solliciting on Subjects of Harlem.
The regular meeting of the Conference of Workers Among Girls and Boys was held last Monday afternoon at the Y. W. C. A., 143 West 53d street, and was largely attended.
The meeting was opened with prayer by George Allen, after which the chairman, the Rev. F. A. Cullen, president, and Miss Grace Campbell, the secretary, recorded.
The various charges of vice in Harlem which after the most careful investigation, are borne out in every instance by substantial evidence, were framed in the form of a report handed by a special committee to the head of the police system imploring immediate remedies for the same.
Questionable houses, soliciting on the streets, improper vaudeville shows, unclean dancing in some of the public places are some of the items contained in the report.
How to meet and remedy these evils were discussed by James Moore, Miss Eva Burleigh, Fried R. Moore, Mrs. M. L. Stuart, Miss Grace Campbell, Mrs. M. C. Lawnt, Mrs. M. Robinson, the Rev. F. A. Cullen and George W. Allen.
To Discuss "Proper Housing."
"Proper Housing" will be the subject to be discussed at the first public meeting to be held under the auspices of the conference at Salem M. E. Church, West 133d street, Thursday evening, February 20.
Miss Gerritrude James, secretary of the Y. W. C. A., and Mrs. M. C. Lawton were appointed as members of the Steering Committee.
NEGRO TO BECORE EXTINCT?
Southern Professor of Philosophy Makes Himself Ridiculous by Declaring Race Will be "Out of Style" in 220 Years.
Special to The New York Times
New Orleans, La., Jan. 28.—Prof William Benjamin Smith, a noted educator and professor of philosophy at Tulane University, has occasioned comment in the South by declaring that the Negro in this country will be extinct in 220 years, and that the last of the race will be a colored woman in the South.
These deductions have been made by Prof. Smith after studying the United States census; report for Louisiana, recently issued from Washington.
"shows that among the whites of this state the males are gaining in proportion over females in birth—a sure indication of the virulency and increasing stamina of the whites. But the same report shows also that among the Negroes the females are gaining in number. Reports of other states confirm this regression.
"If the race were in the ascendency the male births would, at least, retain an equal proportion. There can be no other conclusion than that the old law of the survival of the fittest is coming into its inexorable sway in the state and the United States at large. The Negro has come to the last two centuries of his being here. Slowly, but surely, his race will dwindle in males until there are less than one-tenth the number of men compared with women.
"Finally, if the law works out to its logical conclusion, there will be but one Negro woman left in the United States. With her death, we will say about 2132 A. D., there will be no more of the race left in the United States."
"And that," continued Prof. Smith, "will be one of the most salutary race extinctions that have ever occurred in any country in any time. I have nothing against the Negro personally. But it has been nature's law from the creation that the weaker and the more useless of the animals of the world must be sacrificed to make way for the development and the advance of the stronger. There is no law of nature that is more surely working out than is that of the 'survival' as applied to the Negro in the United States."
NEGRO HELP AT CIMBELS
The runner that Gimbel Bros. have discharged all their colored help is not true. Upon investigation by Tim Van it was learned that seven of the twenty colored cleaners and porters were discharged a few days ago for inertency. However, the management announces that there is employment for other colored cleaners if they are capable. No colored help is employed in the various sales departments.
PLANS TO PREVENT DISCRIMINATION IN PUBLIC PLACES IN NEW YORK STATE
Assemblyman A. J. Levy of New York, Introduces Important Bill at Albany Which is Designed to Give All Equal Accommodation
RACE, CREED OR COLOR TO BE NO BAR TO IN HOTELS. RESTAURANTS. AND THEATRES
Assemblyman Levy Would So Amend Civil Rights Bill as to Make Proprietor or Employee Liable to Big Fine—Aggrieved Party Can Sue and Get $500 Damages—Offender, if Found Guilty, Can Be Fined from $250 or $1,000 or Sent to Jail for from Thirty Days to Six Months—Bill Now in the Hands of the Committee on Codes.
Albany, N. Y., Jan 29.—A bill designed to put an end to discrimination on account of race, creed or color, in the public places of New York State, has been introduced by Assemblyman A. J. Levy of New York. The author of the bill feels confident of its passage. The measure has been referred to the Committee on Codes.
The bill introduced by Mr. Levy is styled an act to amend chapter fourteen of the laws of 1909, entitled, "An act relating to civil rights, constituting chapter six of the consolidated laws."
The bill provides that no person, being the owner, lessee, proprietor, manager, superintendent, agent or employee of a place of public accommodation shall directly or indirectly refuse anyone accommodations, and that if found guilty shall be liable to a penalty of $500, to be recovered by the aggrieved person or shall be fined not less than $250 or no more than $1,000, or be sentenced to jail for not less than thirty days or no more than six months.
Heretofore the proprietors of public places who have been made defendants in damage suits in which color or religious discrimination was charged, have often put the blame on employees. The bill will be so amended as to make either the proprietor or employee liable.
The bill reads that a place of public accommodation, resort or amusement within the meaning of the article shall be deemed to include, any inn, tavern or hotel, whether conducted for the entertainment of transient guests, or for the accommodation of those seeking health, recreation or rest, any restaurant, eating house, public conveyance on land or water, bathhouse, barber shop, theatre and music hall.

TRIED TO SCALP VICTIM
Last Saturday afternoon Thomas Lloyd, 324 West Thirty-seventh street, was standing in front of the old Lavender Cafe, 306 West Thirty-seventh street, when he suddenly heard an Indian yell. The next thing he knew something sharp was making a hasty circuit of his skull.
Lloyd, despite his two cork legs, started to make his getaway with lightning-like rapidity, but the wielder of the tomahawk was too swift for him. He was so seriously injured that he fell unconscious and was taken into the safe by onlookers. Fifteen stitches were put in the injured man's head.
The police arrested Ed Thorne, 324 W Thirty-seventh street, for cutting Lloyd. The prisoner admitted he had a crudge against his victim.

You must clear out some property of your own, you must work longer time and you must not enter into schemes to swindle and deceive" said the famous leader of the Negro race. "And then you must remit" he continued, "that the time is coming when the advancing business will stop. Nothing will stop it in your home and you can do it by raising on your farm most of the recessions of life."
Large Canned Goods Exhibit.
Ben Brown of Chilton County made a large exhibit of can goods and vegetables fresh from his truck farm. The goods were prepared by himself and wife during spare time from the farm.

Report of Sage Foundation.
"We have in the last two weeks been humiliated by the fact that a report of the Sage Foundation shows that Alabama was entitled to rank below every other State in the matter of education in the public school system, but we take pride in the fact that while Alabama ranks at the bottom according to this report, and I have no doubt that we can do better in that same State of Alabama is the greatest institution for the colored race and in many respects the greatest educational institution in the world, and presided over by the oldest man produced by his race in the world to-day. Since we have that much in which we can share a mutual pride, we have reason to expect that, when the next Sage report comes out, it will wait a few years. Alabama will have a higher rank." Dr. Washington awarded fifty-two prizes amounting to $550, ransging from 25 to $150, the latter amount to Isaac D. Martin, of Pratt City, a former student of Tuskegee institute, who won the school State prize for raising 200 bushels of corn per acre.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.
St. Louis, Mo. Jan. 28.—A committee of five white persons and five Negroes appointed by the St. Louis league to investigate the housing of Negroes, has issued a statement protesting against a proposed ordinance segregating the Negroes of St. Louis. A bill to that effect is pending in the municipal assembly.
The committee's statement says in part:
Our committee is unanimously of the opinion that the problem of the relation of white people and Negroes cannot be solved by crystallizing prejudices into legislation.
The proposed law frequently would prevent Negroes from improving their condition by moving into better neighborhoods. We cannot believe that any broad-minded American can regard the legal segregation of races as American of Christian.
The committee adds that the proposed law is unconstitutional.

During a speech at a banquet given by the Troy Trust Company a few days into Manager McGlynn stated that he had supplanted white waiters with colored men and women, and that he intended to employ colored help from now on, that even if the present crew did not give satisfaction he would replace it with another crew composed of Negroes. About fifty waiters are employed at the Rensselaer.
EXPELLED FROM CHURCH.
The efforts of Wayman D. T. Wilson to control affairs in the Bridge Street A M E Church, Brooklyn, reached its culmination Thursday evening. January 20, when a church committee of seven by unanimous vote, without discussion, expelled him from the church on charges of insubordination and spreading dissension prepared and presented by Charles M. Henley. Wilson was represented in the trial by Charles Goss. The charges were based on Mr. Wilson's action in regard to the election of trustees held January 6. In this election the church allowed only member of record to vote, but Wilson demanded that all contributors to the church be allowed to vote. When his demand for a re-election was refused he applied to Justice Kapper of the Supreme Court for a mandamus to compel a new election. The justice has not rendered a decision
The troubles of Mr Wilson in Bridge Street Church date back some five years and they have been carried into the courts on several occasions

One person in Australia wrote, "Your system is remarkable! And your book explains implicitly the rules set forth so that failure is impossible." No person, no matter whether high or low in life, can doubt the great power of their great occult force. Many people in utter ignorance of this phenomena owe their great success to this wonderful occult power and the OCCULT SCHOOL OF SCIENCE is determined to place this wonderful knowledge within the grasp of all without regard to class or creed.
The information heretofore possessed by the few in addition to supplying this wonderful book FREE to each person who writes AT ONCE, will be sent

HARLEM'S MANY EATING PLACES
A commendable feature about this business tsi that Mr. Rose, as his business has increased, has added to the wages paid his help. A counter boy who started with him a little more than a year ago at $4 a week is now being paid $50 a month. His cooks are being paid $20 a month more than when they started. His liberality was noted at Christmas when all employees who had been with him a year received a $5 gold piece as a present, while all others were remembered in proportion to the time they had been working for him. Nineteen people are busy day and night looking after the wants of the many customers of the three places. Mr. Rose, the proprietor, is active in supervision of the business, and is to be found at one or the other of the places through the day, and his keen insight discovers the slightest thing out of the way. He is longing to have Rose as his manager with Mrs. T. L. Rose, his wife as assistant

The "Pioneer Restaurant of Harlem" is called The Owl, and is conducted by J. P. Calloway at 107 West 134th street. Mr. Calloway has been in business nine years, coming to New York from Roanoke, Va., where he had previously conducted a restaurant. Mr Calloway does his own cooking and makes a specialty of "home cooking" with hot bread at each meal. Mrs. Calloway is his cashier and he has one helper.
A year ago The Willis, conducted by Willis H. Wise, moved from 300 West 97th street to 50 West 135th street. Eight years the business had been conducted at the 37th street play and at 140 West 135th street.
Opening up in Harlow with about ten customers a day, in a year's time the business has increased so that many from sixty-five to seventy-five people are served daily through the weeks at each meal and from 135 to 145 on Sundays. Seven people are required to attend to their wants. Mr. Willis is assisted in the management by his wife and sister-in-law. Mrs. Rosa Carey. Cleanliness is a feature of their place, and they have officially commended by the Board of Health for the sanitary condition of their place. Their specialty is a full course dinner on Sunday with wine or beer for thirty-five and forty cents
Hotel Press Doing Big Business.
Thirteen years ago, Mrs. Hannah Walker opened the Walker House at 19-21 West 135th street. About six years ago J. H. Press associated with Mrs. Walker in the business and the name was changed to Hotel Press, with Mr. Press as manager, Mrs. Walker owns the buildings occupied by the hotel and some years ago gained national publicity by going on the bond of Jack Johnson when he was arrested for the infringement of New York City's laws. The Hotel Press uses only the columns of THE AGE in advertising, and Mr. Press is of the opinion that he cannot find a better advertising medium. The building is splendidly equipped and the rooms are handsomely and comfortably furnished. The dining room is capably attended to, and a buffet café with ladies' room 'attached is operated also. An electric piano is used in the ladies' room to entertain their guests. Large parlors for receptions are available for the public. Eight to ten people are constantly employed.
The Ford-Williams, conducted by Mrs. Ford-Williams at 2156 Fifth avenue, is a combined hotel and restaurant. Nine rooms are available in the hotel. Mrs. Williams has been in business a year and a half and employs one cook and one waiter, besides being actively engaged herself. Mrs. Williams uses the columns of Tir AGE and finds them of great benefit in securing desirable patrons.
Five years ago C. E. Smith opened a bakery and lunch room. He had no practical experience and had to begin at the bottom to learn. He was first at 13 West 134th street, then at 14 West 135th, and afterwards at 29 West 135th street, where he is now located. Mr. Smith conducts a home bakery where genuine home-made bread, rolls, pies, cakes and other good things can be secured. They bake twice a day and goods are delivered to their customers' doors. A regular restaurant is run in connection with the backyard, where all

ANXIOUS OFFICE-HOLDERS
It is natural that the victorious Democrats should desire to parcel among them the Federal offices now held by the defeated Republicans, and they should be allowed to do so as to all positions not covered by the civil service rules. The offices not covered by the rules are mostly presidential appointments, and are comparatively low in number, both in the domestic and foreign service. How President-elect Wilson feels about this matter is of the greatest importance to all those now holding offices and those desiring to do so. In speaking to a delegation of labor men at Trenton who desired him to remove a Republican and appoint one of their number, Governor Wilson said:
Public office is not worth anything, if an entirely satisfactory fulfillment of the duties of the office is not to consideration for reappointment. If men are to know that a mere change of administration is not by my means, then they have deserved to be reappointed, there is not anything of justice or public right left.
Commenting on this position of Governor Wilson the New York Times says:
This is the significant statement of a general principle by Mr. Wilson, it is a principle that the office should be filled it. It was made to a delegation of labor leaders, who asked that Col. Bryant, who was the chief of the department, be reappointed by Mr. Dogrove, a democrat, supported by the trades unions, Gov. Wilson told the delegation that the office should not differently "but" he added, "Col. Bryant has made good and I am bound to consider his claims." But the delegation pleaded that it would be "graceful" to appoint a labor man to the office, because the office is hard. "And the governor's response."
Certainly this is a good augury for Mr. Wilson's action as President. If he sticks to his current policy, he will have a hard time, very hard time of it, but the more promptly he makes his purpose clear, and the more firmly and frankly he pursues his purpose, the less hard it will be.
There is no sense or good policy in the principle of discharging Government consuls and their secretaries and clerks, department chiefs and their clerks, messengers and laborers, and other employees of the Government, who are experienced in the work and are also now covered by the civil service rules, simply because they belong to one or the other political organization, upon every change of the Administration. President-elect Wilson has pursued this policy as Governor of New Jersey, and there is no reason to suppose that he will reverse himself as to it when he takes up his work as President of the United States.
What the race needs in largest measure is the closest and most sympathetic touch with the intelligence and property interests of the community, the state and the nation. This can be most effectively secured and enjoyed by the growth and development of its banking interests, in which their aggregated savings can speak for them as the best guaranty of their intelligence, industry, saving habits and moral well being. Every dollar in circulation is known and registered in its denomination and can be accounted for and located as being in the Federal treasury, in the banks or in circulation among the people. The 10,000,000 Negroes of the United States have less of it per capita to their credit than any other race element of the citizenship, but that must be accounted for by the limited education and industrial and business preparedness they began with fifty years ago, as an inheritance from slavery. Their 64 banks, it is estimated, have a capital of $1,600,000 and $20,000,000 of deposits. It is a fair presumption that they have $60,000,000 deposited in white banks, where their fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers began putting it before and since the war, and from which the present owners have not deemed it wise or prudent to transfer it to their own banks, where this could be done. This condition prevails especially in Northern cities like Philadelphia and New York, where the large estates of the wealthy old-timers have banked with white corporations for a hundred years. Of the 64 Negro banks only 4 of them are located in Northern and Western States.
MRS. FANNY JACKSON COPPIN.
Mrs. Fanny Jackson. Coppin died at her home in Philadelphia, January 22, at the age of seventy-six years.
Mrs. Coppin was a woman of remarkable personality, character and abilities. Graduating from Oberlin College in 1865 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, she at once entered upon the work of an educator in the Institute for Colored Youth, as a lecturer of rare charm and power and as a tireless worker in church and charitable work, in which she continued for quite thirty-five years. Thirty years ago, when he was a pastor in Baltimore, Mina Jackson became the wife of Bishop Levi J. Coppin. She retired from school room in 1900, when her husband was elected a bishop, and in 1902 accompanied him on his episcopal tour to South Africa.
The distribution of the Negro banks is governed largely by density of Negro population, as the following will show: Virginia, 12; Mississippi, 11; Alabama, 8; North Carolina and Texas, each 6; Florida and Tennessee, each 4; Oklahoma, 3; Georgia, Illinois and Maryland, each 2; Arkansas, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, each 1. Ultimately there should be a working understanding between all these banks and those that will be added to them from time to time, so that the surplus which could not be invested to the best advantage at once point would be available for use at another. This will come with the growth of the banks and the business growth and expansion of the race.
The Negro race in the United States need not despair as long as it can produce women of the character, ability and industry of Mrs. Fanny Jackson Coppin. In the school room, on the lecture platform in the library and charitable work and in the was a woman known
Our real estate operators in Greater New York, especially in the Harlem district, and other business interests will yet see and act upon the necessity of having one or more banks of their own, where the
---
Five to ten million dollars per annum could be got together in such a Harlem Bank and its branches and be available for the common use and advantage. We gather from the Negro Year Book for 1912 that there has been only four failures of Negro bank ventures since March 3, 1865, when the Freedman's Savings Bank and Trust Company was established by Act of Congress. It failed in 1873. In the eight years of its existence it handled some $57,000,000 of deposits. It had some 35 branches, the headquarters being in Washington. Injudicious speculation caused the failure of the bank, which was a stunning blow to the faith of the Negro people just out of slavery in banks, from which they are just now recovering. The Capital Savings Bank began business in Washington October 17, 1888, and failed in 1904. The True Reformers' Bank of Richmond was chartered March 2, 1888, and failed in 1910. The Mutual Bank and Trust Company of Chattanooga, Tenn., began business in 1889 and failed in the panic of 1893. All in all, the failures have been small indeed as compared to the successes.
The present is ours. If we build wisely in it on the foundations we have, the future will take care of itself and of us.
Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., president of the new Negro financial corporation in the South, says in his newspaper, the Richmond Planet:
Work on the palatial apartments of The Anglo-American Finance Corporation is still under way. The new system of intercommunicating telephones is now being installed. Secretary Thomas H. Wyatt has taken charge and may be found in Room 300. Nearly all of the furniture has been installed. The book-keeper desks have not as yet been received and this delays matters somewhat.
We have already quoted the Planet to the effect that the financial backing of the corporation is well nigh limitless; that its "palatial apartments" should be elaborate and costly is therefore a matter of course. Mr. Mitchell does not say anything in the Planet about the rumor emanating from Birmingham, Ala., to the effect that the Anglo-American Finance Corporation is a movement intended to corner the Southern Negro money interests by white men. For our part, we do not fear anything of the sort, but positively encourage rather than discourage the partnership of whites and blacks in business enterprises. Mr. Mitchell has already made a success of it as a financier as founder and president of the Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond and should make a success of it as founder and president of the Anglo-American Finance Corporation. He has our best wishes and encouragement in his large efforts in a large way.
WE SHOULD HAVE POLICEMEN.
We should have more policemen in New York City and in Greater New York, not only to keep company with the lone one we have, and he certainly needs company of his own race badly enough, but, as a matter of justice freely conceded to other race elements of the citizenship because they are voters and taxpayers and have a natural pride in having proportionate representation on the police force, as well as in all other departments of the municipal government.
The Philadelphia Tribune states that the E. C. Brown Real Estate and Banking Company of Newport News and Norfolk has opened branch offices in Philadelphia, at 427 South Broad street, as "investment bankers." haddling Southern securities as a specialty. The Browns established the Brown Savings Bank at Newport News in 1908 and the Brown Saving and Banking Company at Norfolk the following year. Mr. Brown also owns a controlling interest in and is present of the Virginia Beneficial Insurance Company. The Browns, the Tribune says, have connections with the white banks of Newport News and Norfolk. It is only by such connections that our bankers can build and control Big Business.
It has also been accepted as a principle by the police authorities that the best results are to be had in any given district by the employment of patrolmen and detectives belonging to the prevailing race type of the population of such district. It is natural that the principle should work that way, as a Negro policeman or detective in any Negro district should know more about the people and their ways than a white policeman or detective.
The Nashville Globe publishes the annual report of the One-Cent Savings Bank of Nashville, in which President R. H. Boyd states that for the five years, from 1904 to and including 1912, the bank handled $3,800,568.94. The business handled in 1912 was $832,968.97. The capital of the bank is $25,000 and the assets are $80,000. The Globe also publishes the annual statement of the Prudential Savings Bank of Birmingham, Ala., in which it is shown that the capital stock is $25,000 and $76,937.92 of business done for the year.
We have some 64 banks, the Mississippi group being the largest. They are all doing a prosperous and growing business. This shows that the Negro people are learning to trust their own business men on the one hand and recovering the faith in banks destroyed by the failure of the Freedman's Aid and Trust Company, in 1873. President Boyd thinks the time is not far distant when "Negro banking institutions of Nashville alone will show bank clearings from citizens of Nashville alone of from $2,500,000 to $3,000,000 annually." Larger places will, of course, show a larger clearance, where we have a bank or group of banks. It should not be overlooked that all of our banks are comparatively young and that their officers have not yet got the full hang of the banking business. This knowledge will come slowly to those who grow up in and with the banking business.
The difficulty, we understand, is not with the police department, which is willing to make such appointments, but with the Negroes themselves, who neglect to take the necessary examinations without which appointments cannot be made. Why do Negroes neglect to take the examination? The pastors of our churches might help along the desired end by making a prelude of a few sentences to one or more of their sermons, while it could be made the subject of debate by our church and independent literary societies.
It is a reaproach to the Negroes of Greater New York that they have only one member of 10,000 policemen, while Philadelphia has far fewer has one hundred.
Business education is worth more than capital in business success and development. Negroes can only get this business education in their own banks and other business enterprises of theirs that serve as feeders for the banks. The more business enterprises we have, both great and small, the more money will our banks handle during the year in deposit, check and loan accounts, and the more credit will they have with the white banks and the more credit can they extend to white banks, for in this way banks are mutually helpful to each other, as individuals are. Indeed, no other agency is calculated to give the race a closer and more sympathetic touch with the strongest influences in any given community than the growth and development of its banking interests, as banks are the reservoirs of the people's life energy, transmitted into a circulating medium by their industry, frugality and self-denial, and indicates more than any other one thing the intelligence and moral character of the people.
A SPLENDID CASINO
We have never considered it good policy to put a price on the editorial space and opinion of THE AGE; advertising of all kinds has been barred, therefore, and kept in those departments of the paper where it belongs. This places all our advertisers upon the same footing, and leaves us free to approve or disapprove their business and methods, if occasion calling for it should arise. There are times when the public interest is best served by singling out a man and his business, editorially, by advising that he be properly supported in order that the general public may benefit by his success.
Young's Casino is an enterprise of this character. The Negroes of New York need the use of it for all high-class entertainments calling for large door space and seating or dancing capacity. Young's Casino is ample for such purposes. It cost Mr. Gibeon Young one hundred and ten thousand dollars to fit up Young's Casino. The roof garden will accommodate 1,100 people the courts, 1,100; the balcony, 600; the basement, 1,000; a total of 3,800 people. That is a large number of people to accommodate at any sort of entertainment.
Mr. Young employs all Negro help and the service and appointments of the Casino are all of the highest and best character. Mr. Young gave the proceeds of the opening night of the Casino some $500, to Negro charitable organizations. That was a very handsome thing to do. It showed a disposition to help others which others should show in kind when they need hall space. "You scratch my back and I scratch your back" is the most generally accepted rule of successful co-operation in the Casino or any other business enterprise, including the publication of a great newspaper of light and leading like THE NEW YORK ACE, which has grown old in the service of the Negro people.
The Negroes of Greater New York the 101,000 of them, need for their purposes a casino such as Mr. Young has at great expense, prepared for them They have it. Will they keep it? They certainly will not unless they patronize it when they need a place of that sort for their entertainments, public demonstrations, and the like, because Mr. Gilson Young is not in business for his own amusement, but for business.
Negro's business than should fall to their share and than they properly appreciate.
THE WHITE LABEL
"Colored men who support race enterprizes are entitled to the support of the race," says the Richmond Planet. But they do not always get it, if a white man and a black man are doing the same sort of business in the same locality. A great many Negroes, too many for the good of the race, think and act upon the principle that nothing is worth buying and possessing unless it has a white label. Their half father, Abraham, it appears, started that nonsense when he insisted that his son Isaac should not take a daughter of the land of Canaan to wife,—the land in which has father Ham had a city called Ham, in which he died and was buried, after the Flood.
It is high time that the Negro everywhere, the black races, should cease preferring things with a white label, simply because the label is white, to one with their own label because it is black or yellow. It is no longer a question as to the color of the label, the goods or the vendor, and freedom to have a preference; it is a matter of life and death that the black man prefer his own, as to "persons and things," as other races do, in order that he can have a sure reliance in troubles times. If his own is not as good as that of others it is his business to make it as good. In doing this he has the example of others for guide in the fidelity they display in preferring their own label as to persons and things. The white man draws the line on the black label in favor of the white label all of the time, and is doing it now all over the world more than he formerly did.
while the average black man everywhere will draw the line in favor of the white label against the black and yellow label all of the time. This is what is called self-destruction. Neither a race type nor a race interest can be preserved or strengthened by the practice of it.
Pride of country, pride of race, pride of family, are among the signs by which the white races have built their civilization on the rocks of the everlasting hills, and are enlarging it so that the world is coming more and more under their influence. We have their example; we are with them, but not of them; and we should learn of them to make the black and yellow label as honorable and desirable as the white label.

By Rust University for prayer service and ceremonies during the devotional hour, has been a very fortunate one for the school. Thursday, January 1. Prof. White of M. I. College, preached a very strong and powerful sermon, and the dept. of Rust, preached another sermon.
Thursday night, January 16, the annual concert of Rust University was given by the students of the music department directed by the music teacher, to all. The program was a reunion of piano solo, "Witches Flight" Odell Richardson; piano solo, "Serenade" Lottie Alcock; piano solo, to a Fisherman's Hut, "Misa Alberta Davy"; vocal solo, "Sahabull" Mrs. Katherine Bell Horner; piano solo, to Dell Scott; piano solo, "Prolude" Joseph Brooka. Afterwards an operetta in two acts was presented, being a Japanese play. The principal characters were: A Japanese girl of position Wheelock, Elliott; her cousin, Kiki, Elliott; her sister, O. Kaya, San, Lillie Bell Horner; her Dixie Mae Hampton; two traveling girls, Frances Gregory and Louise White; governess, Helen Fowler. A chorus of Japanese girls.
On the same night a moving picture show was given at M. I. College, showing scenes of the town and many of the people.
On Wednesday night, January 22, the play, "Little Red Riding Hood" was at the Miller Institute Graded School with the assistance of the teachers, Prof. G. W. Sedden, principal; Miss J. D. Lane and Bachelor Hall, assistant. Sweet music was rendered by the young quartet of the school, consisting of from eight to twelve voices, namely, Chloeq, Richardson, tenor; Dodric Hancock, second; Lawrence Snuford, harpist; Shuford, bass. The principal characters were Eddie Red Riding Hood.

WITH LIFE'S UNFORTUNATES
(BY MAY MARTEL)
"Truth is stranger, than fiction." If one is skeptical about it let them wend their way to 64 East 133d street, the Union Rescue Home Mission, and talk with Mra. Georgiana Robinson, the founder, and they will forsake the ranks of doubling Thomases.
She will tell you of the sin and suffering the Home workers have to constantly contend with, and how they endeavor to meet and relieve it. Hundreds of fallen and destitute colored women with their babies have been sheltered by them since the Inception and organization of the work five years ago. During 1912 alone there were over four hundred cases cared for, some of them mothers at fourteen. They have come from the hospitals weak and unable to do for themselves, and without money or friends; sometimes they have been out of doors by relatives and upon appealing to charity organization societies have been sent to the Home.
One recent inmate was a beautiful girl fifteen years of age with her young baby. Her parents were dead, and at only sister, an unmarried woman with five children, had turned her in the streets. She refused to give the name of the man who had caused her downfall so that he might be dealt with by the courts.
Desertion cases have also been looked after, and since last summer it has sheltered one woman with her five little children, the youngest a baby. Her husband left her penniless and his whereabouts are unknown.
Children with parents in the last stages of tuberculosis and other diseases have also been provided for until the state institutions would take them, which they would not do while both parents were alive; in fact the work has been on a broad and humane scale, and the beautiful part about it is that it has been action and not simply talk, and by Negroes for Negroes; but strange to say, Negroes in general have done praec
rally nothing for it; the burden has been borne by a very few, among them principally Mrs. Robinson. She has about exhausted her means and her health in the effort. When I asked her why, she said simply that God had told her to do it, and seemed to see nothing unusual in the statement. She brought back the day of miracles by saying there had been times when the rent was due. the gas man expected, and the food slight and she hadn't the slightest idea
ORAL·HYGIENE
The relation between oral hygiene and health has been much unappreciated and the dependence of health upon proper oral conditions has been much underestimated. We realize, of course, that much of the service required of the dental profession might have been rendered at an earlier stage, with no cost and little suffering to the patient. Too many patients consider that the approach of decay is early enough to begin to cure for the mouth and the teeth. That is, in course of a mistake. In dentistry, as a medicine, much can be accomplished by means of prevention. It is a far better method to use every proper precaution to prevent disease than to seek to destroy it when once established.
The care of the teeth should begin with the care of the child before it is born. Seek to bring into the world a healthy child, that is the first step. Let the expectant mothers observe as nearly as possible the simple rules of health, namely: proper food, sleep, clothing, bathing, fresh air and sunshine. She should eat substantial food, especially fruits and cereals, and a sufficient amount of it; receive a manageable amount of sleep; bathe frequently; dress comfortably; seek an abundance of fresh air and sunshine. Following these simple health rules will accomplish much good for the little patient to be.
The medical profession has found the application of the rules of health its greatest aid in fighting disease, so in an effort to enlighten you on the subject of oral hygiene and its relation to health, I am only joining in a world wide movement to better protect the human family from disease.
To keep the mouth in a hygienic condition is not difficult nor expensive, providing it is begun when the new baby takes its first meal. Then a saline boric acid should be used frequently to clean the mouth and keep it clean. Let it be borne up that nearly all of the aliments of infants and children come by way of the mouth and these aliments often make trouble throughout the entire alimentation. As soon as the temporary teeth grow they should be cleaned daily with fluoride and later on a soft toothbrush should be used as the mouth is let the habits of cleansing the mouth grow hit habit.
The temporary teeth should be close-walled for signs of decay and should carefully attended when these signs appear. They should be extended when absolutely necessary as the tooth is much to do with the development of the denture, an extra marked influence on the permanent teeth. Yet the temporary teeth should not be allowed to remain long or long enough to interfere with the creation of the permanent set. As a rule for such conditions can down the dentist must be the sole judge.

where to get help but she had turned it over to the Lord and he had provided, in fact I think Mrs. Robinson's faith has largely kept the work afloat. The home has not covered expenses as it makes only a small charge if the mother is able to pay, and if not it takes her and her children anyway. The number of inmates constantly vary, and the children have largely to be considered. In December, 1911, there were forty; a year later seventeen; now the number is even smaller. There have been volume missionaries and others who have praised the work at the home and gone off and knocked in true missionary spirit elsewhere, instead of rolling up their sleeves and helping the already overburdened few who were making the supreme sacrifice of self for others.
Beginning February 1, the home will be fortunate in having the services of Miss Dorcas McLeod, a college graduate and trained settlement worker who has volunteered, without salary, to put in institutional plans and place the work on a systematic running basis. An industrial department will be one of the features, and other excellent ones are in contemplation.
They are asking their people for support, and certainly no cause is more worthy of it.
My visit called to mind these lines:
"My children cry from the city.
My children cry from the plain.
My daughter, my daughter, why standest thou?
Deaf to the great world's pain?
children in an neath their burdens...
They fall heath their weight of care.
My daughter, my daughter, why standest thou?
Unwilling their burdens to share."
TO CORRESPONDENTS
Miss B: There are three rules which one should adhere to to insure good digestion. The first is, never eat impure food. The second, never eat badly cooked food, and the third, never put food into your stomach too rapidly. Tens, vegetables, salads and fruits are excellent fr the complexion.
Miss B: The first thing in the morning — in hour before breakfast drink two or three glasses of water, and also before going to bed at night. You will keep the system fushed and will work wonders with the complexion.
Also take three or four glasses between meals.
Miss Jones: The price of a bath brush is small, fifty or seventy-five cents. The brisk friction of the brush will create a good circulation, if used dalk and will make the skin active and healthy.
Miss M: Plain yellow vaseline is good for stimulating the growth of the eyelashes. Melt the vaseline and apply it with a small brush.

St. Louisian Sends Contribution
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE
St. Louis, Mo. Jan. 24.—W. C. Gordon, one of the most successful undertakers and embalmers in the West, in many respects St. Louis leading business man of color, and a member of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League, has just sent to Dr. Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Ala., a check for $100, being a contribution toward the expenses of that famous institution. Mr. Gordon has been one of Dr. Washington's devoted admirers and followers for many years, and feels that in helping the work at Tuskegee he is contributing to that extend to the progress of the Negro race generally.
Movement to Ernest Building by Mercy Hospital Started Money to be Raised by Ending Chip Plan—Dr. A. B. Jackson Interested.
Special to THE NEW YORK AM
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 28.—A memorial building to the memory of Abraham Lincoln is the project planned and being advanced by the Mercy Hospital and School for Nurses, Philadelphia, with Dr. Algeromann, with the beady spirit. The work of the Mercy Hospital is developed and broadened largely by the efforts of Dr. Jackson, who is the hospital surgeon, and this movement deserves the support of the Negroes of the entire country.
It is typical of the broadmindedness of the dominating influences of Mercy Hospital that the memorial building should be dedicated to all the people of the country, regardless of location, of living thing in the colon's work was for the Negroes of the entire country. The mongy is to be raised by the endless chain plan.
Dr. Jackson has secured the names of every Negro physician in the country and has addressed to each one the following letter:
My Dear Friend:
The Hospital of Philadelphia proposes to erect a hand-som building which shall stand forever as a memorial to Abraham Lincoln. Just as the nation is about to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, it seems just that every Negro in America should have opportunity to contribute his mite toward erection of this building in memory of the sainted emancipator.
Will you therefore send one dime (or more, if you wish) to Dr. Algenon B. Jackson, Mercy Hospital 17th and Fitzwater streets, Philadelphia, Pa., that your name may be enrolled among those who appreciate the sweetness of freedom, the tenderness of charity and pride in your life, and that make five copies of this letter, signing them yourself and send same to five of your friends, urging them to likewise respond to this plea.
Let not this chain be broken. God will bless you. The spirit of Lincoln will be happy to know that the brother in black has not so soon forgot. Mercy Hospital will thank you and place your name upon you and forever lend as a testimonial that you loved God you aided charity and revered the memory of him who said, "Be THOU FREE."
Yours very truly.
Dr Jackson and his associates believe that the endless chain thus brings in enough money to carry out the movement, which deserves success.
Conference of Workers Among Boys and Girls.
The Conference of Workers Among Boys and Girls is to hold its first public meeting on Thursday, February 20, in the auditorium of Salem M. E. Church, 102 W. 133d street at 8:15 p.m. This conference was organized under the auspices of the National League or Urban Conditions Among Negroes, during the early summer of 1911, for the purpose of affording a form for the discussion of problems common to social workers among our colored youths and for the exchange of ideas and methods.
This conference has fostered the Big Brother and Big Sister Movements and has been instrumental in establishing several boys' and girls' clubs. In addition to these and other accomplishments, the need for a home for delinquent colored girls has been placed before the public and, as a consequence, before the neighborhood clerk, a near neighborhood clerk has resulted in the raising of more than $1,000 to aid in this worthy cause.
The officers of the conference are the Rev. Frank A. Cullen, president; Mrs. W. P. Lawton, vice-president; Mrs. Grace P. Campbell, secretary; C. W. Butt, assistant secretary, and Mrs. Kelia C. Smith, treasurer.
Reproducing Century Articles
George W. Young. 323 West 33d street. New York City. has ordered for general circulation, 5,000 copies of the reprinted article by Dr. Booker T. Washington of the Tuakeeze Institute, which appeared in the Century Magazine or November entitled, "In the Nero Harvey or Fairie." Mr. Young is a thoroughgoing patriotic race man, and as a reason for distributing this article says:
"I believe this article will have greater effect for good than all the political speeches made in the campaign. I feel that it should have a broader circulation among both races and all of us." Mr. Young is planning another edition of the same article as soon as he has distributed the first 5,000 copies.
I cannot begin to tell you all the benefits I have received since the arrival of the two specimens of Loadstones you sent me.
For many years I was convinced that no person lived who was more unfortunate than myself. 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.

hily laid the chamois bag containing the two Loadstones on the dresser and forgot them. Trouble began as of old; my husband was fretful and finding fault with everything. I was all out of sorts myself and wondered what had happened to cause so much discord all at once. Finally I remembered the Loadstones and began to search for them. A few days later I found them tucked away in my machine drawer where one of the children had put them. Now everything, as far as I am concerned, is moving along nicely, but my husband, who laughed when the Loadstones first arrived, has changed his tune, and has sent you an order for a pair for himself.

COMES A KNOCKIN'
THEATRICAL COMMENT
SHORTLY before the rise of the curtain at the Casino Theatre on Saturday evening, January 18, Arthur Hammestein stepped before the footlights and announced to the large galaxy of music-lovers present that Mine. Trentini, who is the central figure in the comedy opera "The Flyfire," had not put in her appearance; that she had not made known her reason for remaining away from work either by letter or telephone, and that her part would be sung by Mille. Nina Morgana, a recent "find," who would prove a most agreeable understudy to Mine. Trentini.
None in the audience had ever heard of Mlle. Nina Morgana, yet not a seat was vacated because the diminutive song bird with a big voice—Mme. Trentimi—was not to do the warbling. Perhaps the other playgoers present assumed the position similar to the one I took. I was disappointed to learn that Mme. Trentimi, because of her highly artistic temperament, had shown a disposition to play truant from the Casino Theatre. However, I took particular notice that the name of the new singer suggested that she was a native of sunny Italy, and as it is said that it is as natural for Italians to sing as it is for persons of color to two-step and waltz; curiosity prompted me to keep my seat and await developments.
When Mille, Morgana made her first entrance she was given a warm reception. The friendly greeting had the desired effect, for the auditors applauded the little singer but once out of sympathy. The remainder of the evening the audience was very liberal in its evidences of approbation, and she deserved every hand-clap she received. Before the first act was over the verdict had been reached that Mille, Morgana was a coloratura singer whose voice was rich in quality; that she had excellent control over it, and that she could act as well as sing.
In the last act Mile. Morgana was given a great ovation, and when the curtain descended for the last time during the performance the word was flashed up Broadway that a new star was twinkling in the theatrical firmament. So auspicious was the young singer's debut that she is now appearing in the title role in the matinees. If another show is put out she will be the bright particular star. Furthermore, Mime. Trentini has not allowed her artistic temperament to interfere with her work since Mile. Morgana's successful debut. She "is wise" to the situation.
There is much complaint heard among colored people about not being given an opportunity. Much of it is justifiable. But I have observed in many instances members of the race are not prepared when the opportunity presents itself. Some of us appear to be chuck full of ambition but "pull up" very short in the matter of qualifications. I am wondering what colored singer could have understudied Mme. Trentini and captured her audience as did Mlle. Morgana. No doubt there are some who sincerely believe they could have sung and acted the role with great success; but I have learned that it is not so much what you think of yourself as it is what you make the public think of you.
I have heard colored singers publicly boast of their vocal powers, yet when given a chance to understudy one of the principals in a show, failed dismally. Then I have seen others whose work was mediocre, but who labored under the impression that they had been "a knockout." I am also pleased to chronicle that I have had the pleasure of seeing one or two understudies make good with a capital "G," but only a few. And why? Because the singers possessed more ambition than ability. They were not prepared when opportunity came a knockin'.
There seems to be a diversity of opinion as to whether one makes opportunity pay him some attention or whether you have to wait until opportunity makes up its mind to tap you on the shoulder and tell you that you are it. But be as it may, there is aanimity of thought on the point that when opportunity makes your acquaintance you should be ready to play your part.
I am not aware whether Mlle. Morgana sought the acquaintance of opportunity or waited for an introduction, but she made good when the occasion presented itself. It is apparent, however, that she crossed the seas to win fame, as conditions were not so favorable for her advancement in her native country. Mlle. Morgana's case should inspire colored singers who are ambitious to appear in serious works, but who contend that conditions in this country are such that they are unable to realize their cherished ambitions. This is not the only country where music is appreciated. In fact, we are not rated very highly as true devotees of music. In some countries they eat, drink and sleep music, figuratively speaking, and a singer with a marvelous voice is appreciated regardless of color. Ambitious colored singers who aspire to become famous need not lay it on their color if they do not succeed. If they really have the goods they can win recognition, even if they have to do as Mlle. Morgana—leave home.
I have in mind the heroic attempts made by a reputable Australian theatrical manager to send a first class company of colored singers to Australia last Spring. After spending two months trying to get about fifteen colored singers of ability, and after separating himself from $2,500 on the proposition, the theatrical manager sailed for London, stating that he would take up the task upon his return to New York in the fall. But when he came back to New York he gave out that he had changed his mind and would organize the company upon his next visit.
Now, $2,500 is quite a sum to expend in trying to get together a dozen good singers and then fail in the attempt, but the principal difficulty was that there were not three sopranos, three contratos, three tenors, three baritone and three bass singers to be found who favorably impressed the manager. He explained that the colored singers heretofore appearing in Australia had been above the ordinary, and it would be
---
suicidal to take an inferior organization to that country. For two months he spent hundreds of dollars in mailroof fare bringing singers from all sections of the country; sent representatives to different cities to hear the voices of "new hopes" and during rehearsals paid the expenses of the members of the company. But one day, after attending a rehearsal, he quickly came to the conclusion that he was wasting too much time in his attempt to organise a company of colored singers for his houses in Australia, and that he was neglecting his other interests, which were more important. So he presented each member of the company with a bank note and bade them a revoir, assuring them that it was not farewell. Three days later he sailed for his London offices.
Nearly thirty singers were brought to New York (all expenses paid) and given a chance to display their vocal wares. Only six were rated as above the ordinary, although each and every one bore the local reputation of being a great singer—which might have been the case at home by comparison.
Here was an unusual opportunity for singers of merit to sing in the theatres of Australia for a year, at a tempting salary, with all railroad and hotel expenses paid. And the primary reason that there is so such singing organization in Australia to-day is because there were but few colored singers able to come up to the high standard set by a theatrical manager who knew good singing when he heard it. Only a few were able to stand the acid test which clearly distinguishes between the excellent and the ordinary.
Mattie Phillips and Nichols and
Mattie Phillips and three small girls constituted the liveliest proposition at the Franklin Theatre the first half of the week. The act is full of ginger. Mattie Phillips is no "has been" by any means. Her voice retains much of its old-time vigor, and she dances and turns cart-wheels just as she did when a member of the Black Patti Company. The song used by the two girls should be substituted for one more, suitable. It is difficult for an audience to associate the young misses with a song about their wedding day. They should have a juvenile number. Miss Phillips has given some attention to wardrobe. Nichols and Nichols entertained in little dress.
Nichols and Nichols entertained in dialogue and song.
Other acts on the bill were Hume and Lewis and William Burke
Lewis and William Burke.
Miss Flora Dancy is cashier and Miss Carrie Michaels head usher, instead of as reported in last week's AGE.
The feature attraction at the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week was Prof. Gasito and Henrico. By their names and costumes they appear to be gentlemen of color hailing from the East Indies. However, it is difficult nowadays to figure out the exact birthplace of those of ebony hue, so Mississippi might be their native heath if the truth were known. However, whence they came is of no consequence. The most interesting thing about them is that their act is a good one.
Prof. Gasito is the star, and is assisted by Henrico. The former does a number of escape stunts similar to Houdini, the handeuff king. He gets himself locked up in a large vessel half full of water, a trunk and other things, and always makes his escape. Some of the tricks could be done with more celerity.
"Happy" Gulfport, of Gulfport and Wallace, did a single turn the first half, taking the place of "a disappointment." The more I see of this promising youngster the more favorably impressed I am with him. He can work both single and double and make good.
Manager Friob announces that special reels in addition to the regular reels will be shown on Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays. "The Crooked Path" will be the subject of special reels next Saturday.
Aida Overton Walker opened in her new act, assisted by a number of singing and dancing girls, at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre Monday, and was one of the hits of a big bill. Neither pains nor expense have been spared to make the act scenically effective. Will H. Vodery is musical director. Miss Walker opens in front of a heavy velvet curtain, singing, "Droom Them Eyes." The curtain next rises with the members of the company in full view, who sings "Poppyland." Miss Walker follows doing the "Pop-

MORE GAYETY AT YOUNG'S. Young's Casino, 134th street and Park avenue, is soon to be the scene of additional gayety. Billy McClain has come after an absence of eight years abroad, and he now styles himself as an amusement caterer. He has made arrangements with Manager Gibeon L. Young to furnish entertainment at the Casino from time to time under the management of the McClain Amusement Company.
Wednesday, February 5, and Friday, February 7, have been set aside as the first dates when Billy McClain and his assistants will hold forth. In the dance hall dancing, vaudeville and motion pictures will be on tap. In the rathskeller a number of novelties are promised, while in the grand balcony singers and dancers will reign supreme.
Billy McClain announces that admission will be free.

CHICAGO STAGE NOTES
Everything is quiet along the Stroll and actors are at a premium. The new big theatre at Thirty-first street and Indiana avenue is near completion. The new, but smaller theatre on State street near Thirty-fifth street, right in the heart of the colored district, is nearly erased.
The new little "chicken coop" picture house on State between Thirty-first and Thirty-second streets, has its frame brick wall up and while it is owned by a white man, like the other houses, it is rumored that Shelton Brooks is to be manager. The extent of his business ability can in no wise be exacted, but his chances as a producer should be good as he is a popular song writer and has a desk in the Chicago Musical Bureau, 3159 State street, where Will Dorsey holds away as manager and arranger. The announcement that Anna Cook Pankey and her Victoria Three were looked for the Monogram was hailed here with delight.
The brightest stars on State street of the past week at that house were Sidney L. Perrin and Henry Saparo, assisted by Miss Tansel, Lucretia Knox and Bessie La Belle, on the same bill, made a great hit, F. A. and Marie Green did nicely and Miss "Billie" Young, a pretty little soubret also singet in ractime songs, made her first appearance and found favor. She claims to be the daughter of Billy Young.

Baseball Notes.
It is reported that colored teams will have home grounds at Ruklewood and Schonectady, N. Y., next summer.
Rumors from Havana, Cuba, are to the effect that a number of Cuban players will be seen on the colored teams in the United States the coming season. Among those spoken of as planning to desert the Cuban teams is Mendez, the crack pitcher of the Cuban Stars.
The Philadelphia Defiance baseball team is organizing for the coming season and will go as far South as West Virginia. The team would like to arrange games with some of the leading colored clubs in and about New York, Charles Huston, 12-2 A. Warnock street, Philadelphia, is manager.
The Lincoln Giants are minus some of their regular players and the team is competing in the Cuban League at Havana with several Cubans in the line-up. Santop is on the slick list, and Wickware, Backer, and Wright were among those to leave Cuba for Palm Beach. Some dissatisfaction seems to exist among the Lincoln's in palmy Cuba.
Howard Managers and Assistants Chosen.
At the regular meeting of the Howard University Athletic Association managers and assistant managers for the various branches of sport were elected. F. A. Taylor, familiarly known as "fats," and a member of the junior class in the school of liberal arts, was chosen football manager for 1913. Among those to put Mr. Taylor in nomination was Sam Allen, who spoke highly of his candidate. The selection of F. A. Taylor as manager Hickard once seems to have been a popular one. He always taken an interest in athletics, and is well up in sports. During his academy days he played on the champion academy basketball quint and did excellent work on the track team.
Others elected were C. George, J. W. Parker and P. H. Davis, assistant football managers; R. E. Beamon, track manager; A. Merchant, I. C. Richmond and E. B. Smith, assistant track managers; J. D. McLendon, tennis manager; M. M. Harris, S. A. Allen and I. H. Brown, assistant tennis managers; H. A. Williams, cricket manager; L. A. Howard and William Huskerson, assistant cricket managers; E. Clayton Terry, representative to Athletic Council.
"Billy" McClain in New York,
"Billy" McClain, well known in theatrical and pugilistic circles, and who has been a prominent figure in the fistic arena abroad for several years, is now in New York City. For over two years he was Sam McVeas manager, and under McVeas's direction McVeas won the majority of his battles, besides accumulating a healthy bank roll.
Mr. McClain left Australia last summer and arrived in the United States in time to see the tight July 4 between Champion Jack Johnson and Fireman Flynn. His mission here was to take Johnson back with him to Australia to fight McVean. The Australian devotees of the fistle art are wild about colored outfits and McClain came to the United States with a painting proposition which he submitted to be champion in his efforts to bind a match between Johnson and McVean. Owing to the strenuous life Johnson has been leading for several months it has been impossible for McClain to complete arrangements leading to the
champlon's exit from these shores for Australia, and Johnson's predicament at this writing is such that he does not know when he will be able to make his getaway.
McClain came East to look over the pugilistic and theatrical field and he had not been in New York but a few days when the information came from Australia that Sam Langford had de-

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.

The inspiration of the book is that, having found the man farthest down, he shows an abundance of hope for him.

St. Mark's M. E. Church.
The revival services which have been carried on in conjunction with Abyssinian Baptist Church, entered its fourth week on Sunday, January 27. In the morning the Rev. W. H. Brooks preached from Isaiah 35:10. "The ransomened of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with song." In the evening his subject was selected from Ezek. 35:11. Up to date these meetings have been of great interest and many have been added to the membershl of both churches.
At the Sunday school and lycum sessions through the efforts of Emanuel Tyler many have been lgought into the church.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, evenings of this week the meetings were carried on at St. Mark's Church. On Thursday and Friday evenings the meetings will be conducted at Abyssinian Church.
Salem M. E. Church.
Large, crowds attended the morning and evening services at Salem. The pastor preached an eloquent sermon, taking for his text last Kings 18:21-22, "An Elijah Come Unto All the People and Said." The evening services were given over to songs and praises in honor of the marvelous success attained during the revivals. Over seventy-five were conferred with honorary degrees, forty were taken into full membership. They were awarded certificates by the pastor of that number sixteen were restored.

intu.Monhattan X.M.C.A. Notes
Prof. D. E. Tobias made things likely at the regular meeting of the literary society of the Maratha Y. M. on Tuesday evening of 16th week when he spoke on "Great Leaders and Little Men". Dr. Holder, the leader of the Bible class, conducted a spirited discussion at the meeting of the class on Saturday evening. At the conclusion of the lesson refreshments were served to the class and a live tour was enjoyed. The Rev. Dr. I. W. Barker of the missionary department of the A. M. Church was the speaker at the meeting on Saturday at 4 p.m. The speaker two hours before the meeting laid rose in the collar and expressed the pleasure they had enjoyed at being connected with the association.
Y. W. C. A. Notes.
The members of the Young Women's Christian Association celebrated, in a most impressive manner, their eighth anniversary at the association building, 145 West 51st street, last Sunday at 4 o'clock. Credit for the grand success of the celebration is due Mme. N. E. who was the investigator and manager of the meeting. The association rooms were beautifully decorated with terms and cut flowers. By 4.50 the assembly rooms and halls were crowded. Devotional services were conducted by Miss Daisy Lally in the unavoidable manner of the chaplain, Miss Alice Scott. The meeting was then turned over to Mme. Scott. Because of the illness of the President of the Association, Mrs. Emma S. Ranson, Miss Gertrude E. James, the General Secretary made the welcoming address.
Addresses were delivered by J. H. Anderson, A. M. Robinson, E. W. Williams, and Miss M. A. Stimson who was second supervisor of the branch. Mrs Helen Curtia, 1st vice-president and Mrs Lydia C. Smith, 2d vice-president gave short but impressive talks, expressing their joy at the progress which had been made in the work in the eight years of its existence.
A very interesting report of the work beginning with its organization, January 18, 1955, was given by Mine V. E. Curtia, 1st Vice-President, followed with an outline of the work as it has been carried on during the three years in which she has served as assistant secretary for two years, and one year as general secretary.
Solos were rendered during the meeting by Miss Lillian Smith, Miss Hattie Montague and Miss Mamie Royd.
