1/OL XXVI. No. 24. 'JIM CROW' LAWS THREATEN STATE Many Anti-Negro Measures Introduced in Illinois Legislature. PREJUDICE IS RAMPANT Springfield is Teeming with "Colorphobia" and all Parties are Introducing Hostile Bills So-called Friends of Race Showing Little Interest-Jack Johnson Incident Said to Be Caused of All. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE SPRINGFIELD, ILL., March 11.-To date seven bills have been introduced in the Illinois Legislature, all of them antagonistic to the Negro. They are known as the Shaw Bill, the Campbell Bill, the Foster Bill, the Poorman Bill, the Hollenbeck Bill, the Karch Bill and the Full Crew Bill. With the exception of the latter, the sponsors for these measures place the blame for their action upon the jack Johnson incident. The Campbell Bill seeks to establish the "Jam Crow" car on the transportation lines of Illinois, especially on the street cars of Chicago and the other large cities. The Full Crew Bill will eliminate the railroad, porter, and is believed to be the first step in the thorough elimination of Negroes in railroad service. The other five measures aim at the prevention of marriage between Negroes and whites, thus permitting illicit intercourse and wholesale miscegenation. It is significant that these bills have been introduced by Democratic, Republican and Progressive members of the Legislature. The Full Crew Bill has been made a party measure by the Progressive Party. What is still more significant is the attitude of the so-called friends of the Negro. They are not anxious to assert themselves at Springfield. The opposition is thoroughly active and gaining force. The Negro having no membership in the Legislature and no leader in either of the two parties, with whom he votes anxious to vote his position, is in a dangerous position. Atmosphere Anti-Negro The whole atmosphere at Springfield is anti-Negro. Race prejudice is more rampant, more valgar and more arrogant in the State Capital of Illinois that in the City of Louisville, Ky., and many other of the metropolitan cities south of Mason and Dixon's line. Unfortunately, the colored people quietly accept these conditions. Your correspondent is speaking as a whole. There may be and there are many individuals who share under the state of things, but up to the present, there has been an organized effort to protest against this backward civic attitude. When one walks along the streets and heats the "harker" for a five-cent theatre yelling "out braveney "Show for white folks only, goes to the leading theatre in the city and is only permitted to buy a seat in the "Jim Crow" gallery, you get a fair idea of Springfield. Upon this anti-race poison, the sensualist feeds from the moment he enters the State Capital until he leaves. All of these bills are in committees but are likely to be reported out. Your correspondent has found the average member of the Legislature very reasonable and anxious to be shown." Much good can be done by writing letters to the following named members, addressing mail to General Assembly, Springfield, H. Hon. W. Duff Piercey, Hon. William S. Shaw, Hon. John M. O'Coonan, Hon.

'BLONDE' BROWN CONVICTED Democratic Politician Found Guilty of Raping Sixteen-Year-Old Girl by Jury—Assistant District Attorney, Makes Plea for Negro Women—Sentence to be Imposed Later. Joseph Brown, alias "Blondie," 34 years old, was convicted of rape in the second degree by a jury in the Court of Special Sessions Tuesday, Judge Rosaliesky presiding. Brown is an active colored Democratic worker, and up to a few weeks ago was employed at Albany. Among those to testify in his behalf were Robert N. Wood, leader of the United Colored Democracy, and James D. Carr. A feature of the trial was the strong plea of Assistant District Attorney Medalie to the jury, who declared that the Negro race was progressing and that it should be encouraged in so doing by protecting its womanhood. He declared that school girls, white or black, should be protected. The appeal made a visible impression on the jurymen. The complainant, a sixteen-year-old girl, who is soon to become a mother, alleged that on July 20, 1912, Brown induced her to go to his apartments, telling her that he had a present for her grandmother. Accompanied by another sixteen-year-old girl she visited Brown at 134 West 133d street. Instead of giving the girl the present Brown committed criminal assault on her. The statements of the prosecuting witness were substantiated by the girl who accompanied her to Brown's apartments Brown is well known in Harlem, and his political friends did all they could to get him out of his predicament. He was especially useful during the recent political campaign, and when the Legislature convened at Albany he was appointed assistant janitor at $5 a day as a reward for his services. More than ordinary interest was attached to the trial, which began March 6 Sentence will be imposed on Brown later. BILL PASSES ASSEMBLY Civil Rights Measure Introduced by Assemblyman Levy Designed to Give All Equal Accommodations, Favorably Considered by Lower House. ALBANY, N. Y., March 12.—The Levy bill, providing against discrimination in public places on account of race, creed or color was passed by the Assembly Monday evening. The Senate will now act on the measure. 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 accounted for, and that if found guilty shall be liable to a penalty of $500, to be recovered by the aggrieved person or shall be denied not less than $250 or more than $1,000, or be sentenced to jail for less than thirty days or no more than six months. Hereafter 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&mdash;to make either the proprietor or employee liable. DEMOCRATS PLAN FOR NEXT FOUR YEARS Special to THE NEW YORK AGE WASHINGTON, D.C.

Heroine of Underground Railroad Expires After Lingering Illness FUNERAL SERVICES THURSDAY Frederick Doughton Was Regarded as Deceased's Only Peer in Service of Enslaved Negro. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. AUBURN, N. Y., March 12—Harriet Tubman, affectionately known as "Aunt Harriet," died Monday evening after a lingering illness at the Harriet, Tubman Home. Short services will be held over tigers remains at the home at 11 a.m. Thursday morning after which the body will lie in state at the A. M. E. Zion Church from 12 to 3 p.m. Well-known persons will participate in the funeral services held at the church. Harriet Tubman, who was about 98 years old, was one of the most widely known colored women in this country. Harriet Tubman's achievements as a conductor on the underground, nurse and THE LATE HARRIET TUBMAN Scout in the Union Army and guide and friend to her people during and after the war will never be fully chronicled. She was a friend of Garrison, Phillips, John Brown, Gerrit Smith, Seward and Lincoln. Her only peer in the service of the unqualified Negro was Fredrick Douglas, but unlike Douglas she is without education of the sort learned from books and she could not write or even paint the marvelous story of her long life. Of pure Negro blood, she was born on a plantation in Dorrhester County, Maryland. When she was 11 her instinctive antagonism against the tarantula of master over slave showed itself. An overseer was pursuing a slave with a club. Harriet charged the white man and knocked him off his feet. The enslaved overseer hurled an iron weight at Harriet in an attacking injury which resulted in his death in a duel to which she was subject until long after the war, when she obtained relief at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Hor Unusual Strength First Brought Her Into Prominence. At any rate the injury played an important part in lifting her for the struggle to come, for an account of it she was unified for the ordinary work of women and she was set to work by her master lifting heavy barrels and drawing weights. She grew so strong that when she was 19 she was a match physically for the strongest man and her master exhibited her to visitors as one of the ill and while confined to her cat in became very religious developing an almost fantastic faith that carried her through dangers where strong men of her race faltered. Her master died and word went around the quarters that the slaves were to be "sold South," the thing most dreaded by Negroes of the upper tier of Southern States. Harriet counselled the Negroes to run away, but none had the courage to follow her. She knew only that if she followed the North star it would lead her to freedom, and one night she stole away. Of the few able journey North she remembered little, her instinct guided her and her great strength enabled her to stand the privation. So she went to the liberty side of the fine and lifting her great arms to the sky she said: "You're mine now and you'll work for me and nobody else." She obtained employment and saved all she earned. Then she disappeared and went back to the land of bondage to show others the path to freedom. Was Aided by Quaker Abolitionist. Aided by Quaker abolitionists in Philadelphia, she soon had her underground railroad in working order, and so perfect were her plans that a few years ago when she was introduced by Susan B. Anthony to a woman suffrage audience in Rochester as "the conductor of the underground." It was not long before throughout the plantations of Maryland, and Virginia were spread rewards for a Negro woman who was huring the slaves away from their masters. The price for the capture, dour alive of Harriet Tubman rose to $44,000, but she was never taken. She made over nineteen trips into the very heart of the country where the head (Continued on Page 2) GRAND MASTER H. A. SPENGER GRAND MASTER H. A.

NOT TO LIVE IN WASHINGTON Bishop Walters Says He Will Continue to Reside in New York City—Says He is More Concerned in Policies Affecting Negro than Political Appointments. Bishop Alexander Walters, leader of the Wilson movement among Negroes during the last Presidential campaign, and who is committed to the National Colored Democratic League, denies that he has taken up residence in Washington, as reported in last week's issue of THE AGE. Bishop Walters states that he will continue to make New York his home and says he has no idea of residing in the Capital city for political reasons. In a letter to THE AGE Bishop Walters declares that he is more deeply concerned in the policies of the new administration which are to benefit the members of his race than in the appointment of men to office. He raises the point that if the white citizens of the United States were being discriminated against as are the Negroes of today that Bishop Greer of New York would also go to Washington to prevent the passage of unjust laws against his race. Writes Letter to The Age. Bishop Walters' letter to THE Age follows: To the Editor of The Age: I move to the last issue of The Age. I move in the last issue of The Age that your Washington, D.C. correspondent states that I am to make my permanent home in Washington. This is a mistake. I have no idea of putting up bag and baggage and moving to Washington. I expect to do business at the old stand in 13th street for the years to come, at least I hope so. Washington is about the center of my opinion district. Since a convenient port of call, I spend considerable portion of my time. I have been assigned by my church to the district for four years. Besides this, as president of the National Colored Democratic League the organization expects me to be in touch with the administration. Again I have neither the timor inclination to be a general dispense of political patronage. It is my duty to deal more concerned in the policies which are to benefit my people than I am in the appointment of men to office. If the white people were in our condition without one of its own representatives in Congress, Bishop Greer would do as Alexander Walters is doing if he had any interest in his race. When our condition in the country is as the condition of the white people then I will do what Bishop Greer does. I shall look to time and events to justify my actions. Yours with thanks. ALEXANDER WALTER. Bishop Walters is in Maryland the week attending to his church duties.

BILL WOULD BREAK UP HOMES Lower House of Ohio Legislature Passes Unjust Reppert Bill MIXED FAMILIES IN PERIL President Scarborough of Wilberforce Would be Among Those Affected if Bill Becomes a Law. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. March 41—Last Wednesday the Lower House of Legislature passed the imminent Reppert Bill or limiting intermarriage in this state by a vote of 43. It now goes to the Senate, and if it also passes the bill it will cause the immediate separation and will lock up a number of families in this state in which the husband or wife is white. It will cause President Scarborough of Wilberforce to leave the State, as under the provisions of the bill a Negro already married and living with a white wife will have to separate or leave the State. The bill prohibits and makes felonies the intermarriage of white persons with Negroes, mulattoes or Chinamen or their living together as man and wife in this state". It is practically a copy of the Georgia law, which, when put into operation, caused the breaking up and dispersion of thousands of mixed families. Representative Terrell of Cuyahoga tried in vain to have the measure restricted so as not to interfere with existing marriages. Calling it a "Jim Crow" matrimonial bill, Mr. Reid of Fayette said there were not over fifty-five licenses for mixed marriages issued in Ohio last year, that the effect of the bill would be merely to prevent the legalizing of children born of illicit relations of whites and blacks, and that education, not a penitentiary sentence, was the remedy for the evil of mixed marriages. Mr. Acker of Hocking declared under the bill of rights the Legislature would not deny him the right to marry a Negro if he wanted to and that the only sensible amendment to the bill would be to include members of the Ohio Legislature with Chinamen and Negroes in the prohibited marriage category. Negotiations in the State opposed the bill and sent delegates to argue against it, but a deaf ear was turned to their leadings. The author of the bill exhibited a letter from J. Silas Harris, a school teacher of Kansas City. Mo., favoring the passage of the bill. Harris is said to be after a job under the new administration.

Rendall, to be placed in the institution at the coming June commencement, are respectfully invited to meet in the lecture room of St. James' Presbyterian Church, West.

HENSON GOES TO WORK North Pole Here Gets Appointment in Correspondence Bureau of Custom House at $1,000 a Year-Collector Charles W. Anderson Instrumental in Having Henson Put Under Civil Service. Matthew A. Henson, who accompanied Commander Peary to the North Pole, went to work Monday in the correspondence bureau of the, Custom House under Collector Loeb at a salary of $1,000 a year. During the last week of his administration Mr. Taft issued an executive order making Henson a civil service appointee without taking an examination. Collector Charles W. Anderson is said to have been instrumental in securing Henson's appointment. It was in May, 1912, that Collector Anderson wrote to Charles D. Hilles, Secretary to President Taft, asking that Henson's case be put before Mr. Taft for favorable consideration. Collector Anderson's letter to Mr. Hillez follows: May 10, 1912. Hon. Charles D. Hillez, Secretary to the President, Washington, D. C. My Dear Mr. Hillez: Will you not be good enough to lay this proposition before the President. I strongly urge that some position with a compensation of from $1,200 to $1,500 per year be given to Matthew A. Henson, the colored man who accompanied Commander Peary to the North Pole. Henson was the only civilized man who stood with Peary at the Pole. He is the only man who every accompanied Peary on more than two Arctic trips. He was with him twenty-one years, and on one trip remained in the Arctic regions four years, after the other members of the expedition had returned home on a relief ship. He and a man by the name of Leo, alone, stuck to Mr. Peary and explored the interior of Greenland. Mr. Peary is now a Bear Admiral, and has received honors and gold metals galore, while Henson is still unrecozized and unrewarded. I am confident that a small place given to Henson would delight the race of which he is so satisfactory a representative. To give you some idea of his quality I quote from Mr. Peary's (Continued on Page 2): MOVEMENT TO OUST RAILROAD PORTERS Full Crew Bill Being Introduced in States of the West and Middle West—Measure Does Not Affect Pullman Porters Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. St. Louis, Mo., March 11—Just as there has been an organized movement to have antitermarriage measures passed in the various Legislatures throughout the country, so is there a well-engineered plan on foot to have the colored railroad porter coated in the West and Middle West, although several States have refused to consider the plan seriously. The Locomotive Brotherhood said it might be back of the movement. The scheme is to prevent the employment of colored men as train porters. Porters in the Pullman service are not affected. As usual, the train porters are unorganized and are fighting the hostile measures the best they can In each of the States in the West and Middle West bills have been introduced in the Legislatures at the instance of the locomotive Brotherhood known as the Full Crew Bill, which provides for a brakeman and flagman on all passenger trains carrying more than three coaches. The purpose of the Full Crew Bill is to do away with the colored train porter as he carries a switch key the snow as the brakeman and perform similar duties. The Locomotive Brotherhood is opposed to Negroes earning a living where white men show a preference to accept employment. Tuskegee Teachers Hear Address on "What Negro Women are Doing for Themselves" National Association of Colored Women's Clubs is Doing Effective Work for the Race. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE ALA. March 11 —Mrs. Booker T. Washington, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, delivered an address before the teachers of Tuskegee Institute, in which she took occasion to speak on the subject: "What Negro Women Are Doing for Themselves." Mrs. Washington declared that the association was opposed to the turkey trot and ragtime. She was frequently applauded. Mrs. Washington said: "Women's organization, like all others, do not spring up like mushrooms but are called into existence by necessity to establish or meet some great truth. So with the Federation of Colored Women known as the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, to distinguish it from the general federation of white women's clubs. "Early in the ninety an English friend became alarmed as to the moral life of the American colored woman. She wrote a letter to this country and newspaper, which improved her claring that this woman was not improving morally. She was sorely lacking in all that goes to make a clean womanhood in a race. The unpleasant subject was discussed pro and con by everybody except this woman herself. She was not indifferent, however. She was wondering all the time that she was being talked about how much of what was being said was really true and finally woman-like, she decided that this thing was not as bad as pictured by the press and that the suruest way to prove that the facts were over thus bringing before the country from to time the best women of the race. She realized also that the womanhood of the race was not all it could be and so another reason for concreted effort The First Call. In 1914 a call went out from the women of Boston, Mass., led by the grand old woman, Mrs. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin. We went up from every section of the country, eager to prove that with equal opportunities to make a living, equal chance for an education we were not unlike other women of our race. How well, I recall at this moment that little group of women, some old, others very young, about forty in numbers, that first day in a little house on Rocky Mountain, that the first discussion themselves—a most distasteful thing to do and yet a very necessary one at times. The result of that first call meeting was a permanent organization of colored women for their own moral and intellectual growth. I happened to be selected president of that First National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, as it was then called. Prior to this there had been a chain of clubs of colored women; thirteen in number, bad luck, doing good work. Its headquarters were in Washington, D.C., and its leader was Mr. John Cook of that city. After a few years we succeeded in breaking this chain and putting it into a great body. We changed the name at that time an, since then we have been known as the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs of America. The Scope. "We are composed of local clubs, state federations and sectional federations. We have affiliated with us organizations in Canada, Liberia and Madagascar. We have thirty federated states. We have a membership of fifty thousand women and girls. There is no State in the Union without its colored woman's club and few cities where we do not hold our own. "We have our membership in the National Council of Women, the most advanced organization of women but one in the world, and we are always represented at the executive meetings of the council, paying a hundred dollars for the opportunity to represent organizations who are represented do. We are controlled by the general officers and an executive board and mug organizations for annual meetings again in numbers and in worth. Our last annual was held at Hampton, Va. There were three hundred regularly elected delegates and hundreds of alternate and volunteer representatives present at that meeting. How Conducted. And now having given you an in- production to our work I shall tell you how we conduct it. We do our work in the form of a series of lots of, which are: Social Simpler (Continued from page 1.) money was offered. She continued this work until the beginning of the civil war. When the abolition movement became active she went into it heart and soul. Whenever she could get to a meeting she went and inspired others with her great attitude. It was while on her way to the invitation of tiger Smith that she fought the greatest single battle of her career. She had stopped off at Troy and while there learned that a fugitive slave, Charles Nalle, a half-brother of the master who followed him and as white as his owner, had been taken and was in the hands of the master's mannequin back to Virginia. She went at peace to the office of the United States Commissioner, collecting on the way a large crowd that instinctively recognized her gift for leadership. The crowd hold back the officers, who were about to convey the slave to a wagon, and bids for the slave's purchase at $1250, but when they did he raised his price to $1500. A man across the street raised a window and shouted: "Two hundred dollars for his rescue but not one cent to his master!" That fired the crowd, and when the officers tried to bring the slave out the crowd surged around the wagon. Harriet, who had kept her position at the master's commissioner's office, shouted: "Here he comes. Take him!" and led the assault. Her enormous physical strength has been spoken of. Breaking through the police line she seized the prisoner under the armpits and began to drag him down the street. "Drag is out!" she shouted to her friends. "Drag him to do river!" Drown him, but don't do her dog win. I don't want him on the head win his head, and drag him in. She knocked him back into the crowd. Another jumped for her, but she caught him about the neck, throttled him and throw him over her shoulder. She was dragged down her hope hold on the slave. Aroused to fighting with her splendid courage, the crowd massed around her and dragged her and the slave to the river, where the fox live was thrown into a boat, which pummed out. The cross was a continuation of the fight in a house on the other bank and two men were shot, but Harriet got across in time to win the battle and the slave weaved. An Interesting War Record. When the war came Harriet, at the request of Gov. Andrew of Massachusetts, gave her services as a spy. Of her war record only fragments are known, but in the book by Mrs. Sarah H. Bradford called "Harriet, the Moses of Her People," it is related that she was often an officer of both armies and that "she beid found through jungle and swamp, guided by an island." She had the confidence of the frightened Southern Negroes, who at first feared the Yankees, more perhaps than their own masters, and She was able to gather information of the utmost importance to the Union Generals. Her work was not in the battlefield alone, however, for when the Union soldiers were dying by the hundred at Fernandina from dyschery Harriet was sent from Hilton Head to take charge of the field hospital. She proved herself as a tender nurse as she was dangerous healer. Later she was taking those who were down with smallpaws and malignant even, she had never had those diseases, but she had no more four of death in one form than another. It was only comparatively recently that she received recognition for her services by a pension from Congress. At the end of the war she returned to her home in North where she had previously brought her children to settl on a piece of land owned by William H. Howard, Lincoln's Secretary of State. It was this home, which became her own brought money raised by the sale of Mrs. Bradford's book, that Harriet Tubmanurned over to the Zion A. M. E. Church as a home for aged and infirm Negroes she carried on this work alone for many years, going about Auburn logging money and food for its support. I knew of Harriet Tubman that John Brown, introducing her to Wendell Phillips, said: "Mr. Phillips, I bring you one of the best and bravest persons on the continent—Gen. Tubman, as we call her" and Wendell Phillips writing of the incident to a friend said: "In my opinion, there are few Capitals, perhaps few Colonels, who have one more for the loyal cause since the war, few men who did before that time more for the colored race ban our fearless and sagacious friend larriet." HENSON GOES TO WORK (Continued from page 1) book, "Northward over the Great Ice." On page 16, speaking of Henson and Lee, his two companions on that trip, when they were facing starvation, he says, "The next morning after breakfast I brought the matter up, and with two discussions it was decided we should do everything on finding muskoxen. I first plained to the boys (Henson and Lee) that we were taking our lives in our hands, and they expressed themselves as perfectly willing to take the chances. I never think of that camp without a thrill of admiration for the two birds, loyal, who did not hesitate a moment when shall I forget this time and scene. Three exhausted men find nine starving dogs, there in the gaunt frozen desert. These and the glintening snow, the steel blue sky, and the cold white sun. Five hundred miles in an air-line across a waste of snow to the nearest human-being with insufficient rations for food, we still facing the other way. I think that as we started, each one of us felt an unspoken prayer that the constant petitions of dear ones in the far-off home-land, where birds were singing and flowers blooming, might be listened to, and that the All-Beeing Eye would watch over us. I felt then as I feel now, that the constant moment we took the golden beaver in our hands, and that the bowl has gently grown very fragile. I feel now as I felt then that we were perhaps rare not foolhardy in SUCCESS AT LAST REVEALED How The World's Greatest Financiers Have Gained Wealth and Popularity Our wonderful book, describing these remarkable wonders will be most FREE TO ALL WHO WRITE AT ONCE.

WRITE TO DAY. no doing, but simply followed the dictates of temperaments which could not act otherwise, and which would do the same thing again under the same circumstances." On page 520 of the same book Mr. Kyle wrote, "No man could have been more forlorn than in having two such brave, loyal comrades as stood by me in this journey. Lee, a typical Yankee boy as full of sand as one of his own Connecticut sea-beaches; Henson, unhesitating and as tenacious, bulldog. And no man could have been more fortunate than I that I was unable to reward their courage and loyalty." Peary's description of Henson's courage in saving his life when he was charged by muskoxen which Henson shot and as it fell at the commander's feet. Henson exclaimed, "It was my last cartridge, in one of the most thrilling paintings in his life. It quotes at random, but the quotation will serve to show the moral fiber of this splendid Negro. The colored people of the country, are greatly disappointed that his uncompetable grit and loyalty have not in some way been recognized. If a place could be found for him, in the U.S. Marshal's office here, it some other department I am sure would be like visiting a town. Harden this long letter, and believe me.

Trouble began as of old, my host all was fretted and finding fault with everything I was all out of sorts myself and worried what had happened to cause so much cord all at once. Finally I remember the Loadstones and began to search for them. A few days later I found them tucked in my machine drawer where one of the children had put them. Now searching as far as I am, concerned is most likely, but my husband, who lingered after the Loadstones first arrived, has changed his tone, and has sent you an order for pair for himself. Mrs Magaret Wellington. 2738 West Polk Street, Chicago, IL In January of this year Collector Anderson again took up Henson's case with Mr. Hilles in a letter which follows: January 4, 1913. Hon. Charles D. Hilles, Secretary to the President, Washington, D. C. My dear Mr. Hilles: I hope I may secure your pardon for inviting your attention to my letter of May 10, 1912, relative to Matthew A. Henson, a copy of which I herewith enclose. I wish you would be good enough to read the enclosed copy through. If a place could be given him here at the Custom House as messenger or opener and packer, even if it can only be accomplished by an executive order, he would have few people in the country would object to it. Henson is so much more than worthy and the long and rigid test of his moral filter has disclosed his bourgeois qualities in his life. I am exceedingly anxious to have him given some reward. Yours respectfully, Charles W. Anderson When Henson went to work Monday he was given a warm reception by the employees in Collector Loeb's office. SEEBY DRUG CO., NEWYORK wavy. (Nur m. cur office.)

DR ALGERNON B JACKSON, 720 South 15th Street Philadelphia, Penn. Long Distance Telephone: 37-25 The Man Farthest Down By Author of Up from Slavery, "My Larger Education, Etc. This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washington for the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and it is a most illuminating book. For there is no one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the conditions of the man farthest down like the author of Up From Slavery; and the great beauty of it is that it is filled with such optimistic observations founded on solid fact and deduction as "Bad as conditions are in some places, I don't think that I visited any place where things are not better now than they were some years ago." His journey was a journey among the saddest spectacles in European life. As he says: "Some people will think, perhaps, that everything I was looking for was commonplace or bad, and that I avoided everything extraordinary or worth while looking at. My only excuse is that I was, in fact, not looking for the best but for the worst. I was hunting for the man farthest down." The inspiration of the book is that, having found the man farthest down, he shows an abundance of hope for him. With Frontispiece Map Net $1.50 bleday, Page & Co.

THINGS DONE IN NEW YORK In the editorial section of the New York World of Sunday, February 22 entitled, 'What It Means to be a Negro in New York City,' appeared an interview with the Rev. Charles Martin a native of Saint Kitts, British West Indies, doing missionary work in New York, to which he first came in search of health. A fine photographure of the Rev. Mr. Martin is given along with the interview, and the rugged massiveness and strength of his face sets the page off to one advantage. The Rev. Mr. Martin finds things in New York city hard for the Negro in every direction and way. He is not desired as a guest in hotels and restaurants and places of amusement, and is told so in plain or polite terms, nor as a wage earner, for the most part, in any of the industrial departments of the life of the city. He is left much alone to eat and amuse and make the money to do so with himself, as well as to live in districts largely given over to him. And yet, says the interviewer: 'There was no resentment in the minister's manner as he spoke. He was even stating his facts good-naturedly. I tried to get him to comment upon them, but he said: 'My opinion about these matters will add nothing to the facts themselves.' We much appreciate the editorial comment and conclusion of The World, as follows: THE NINTH CAVALRY WAS THERE. The revolution in Mexico, like a Chinese drama, seems to have no end. As soon as an old one is crushed a new one springs up. There have been great things doing in Mexico during the past sixty days and great excitement on the Texas border, along which a great army of United States regular soldiers have been stationed to protect American interests and be ready at the tap of the drum to invade Mexico if it should become necessary to do so. The Ninth Cavalry is among the troops on the border. They have their "fighting dander" with them as usual. March 2, near Douglas, Ariz., there was a great deal of excitement when three troopers of the Ninth Cavalry caught sight of some Mexican soldiers near the line. They went forward to find out if they were on the wrong side. The Mexicans fired upon them, and the three soon were joined by sixteen more and then by two full troops of the Ninth. There were many shots exchanged for a few minutes, when the Mexicans ran away, leaving four of their number dead. mission for the Mediterranean. As that time there was good ground for the hope, as the European powers had not then divided the Continent into "spheres of influence" and entered actively upon the policy of conquest for European colonization and commercial development; "the conquest of Africa for Christ" was yet the war cry of the nations, with the faithful missionary as the advanced messenger of "peace on earth, good will to men." But the colonization and commercial policy has so far overshadowed the missionary policy, and the drastic form of government adopted for the natives, as to leave small hope that the native African will in the end get any more out of European invasion and occupation than the North American Indians have got. It begins to look as though the Ishmael of Esau and the Israel of Ephraim in Asia and Africa were doomed, except as to the remnant of them scattered in the nations. What Europeans have done to conquer Africa for the Europeans, and what measures in some sort the magnitude of that conquest, is indicated by the two following items taken from separate pages of The New York Times of the same date: PARIS, March 1—At a council of Ministers today the Minister of the Colonies informed his colleagues that wireless messages were exchanged yesterday for the first time between the Eiffel Tower and Lake Tahad in Central Africa. The distance is about 544 miles. Thomas Thorne, manager of the White Star Mediterranean service, calls to-day on the Cedric for Egypt to investigate the conditions of the steam-boat passenger traffic on the Nile from Cairo to Aswan on the first catamaran He intends to go as far as Wadi Hadzah at the second catamaran of the ancient historical river, where the Winter train de Luxe starts for Khartum. There is already an English and a German steamboat company operating on the Nile, and if the International Merchant Marine Company, which owns the White Star fleet, constructs a fleet of steam-wheel vessels for the Nile, will fly their Mediterranean service it is understood that they will fly the American ship. The Cedric has nearly 60 passengers tacked for Egypt and the Holy Land. There must be great black men in Africa, but we do not know of them as great leaders of government building and captains of commerce; most of them are engaged in missionary 'conquest of Africa for Christ' and depending upon poor churchmen in Europe and America for the money which to do it—instead of digging the money out of the fabulously rich mountains, valleys and forests of the country, even after Europeans have shown them that Africa is one of the richest continents on the globe in mineral, cereal and wood and dry stuff resources. It seems with the native Africans to be an aggravating and provoking case of 'having eyes they see not, and having ears they hear not. During the coming fifty years the American Negro will take more interest and watch more closely than he has done in the past the course of events on the continent of Africa, for signs to encourage him in the hope that the African in Africa is not to go the way that returns not of the Indian in North, Central and South America, the Kanakas and Polynesians of the lost Oceanica and the Malays of Australia and its archipelagic affinities. The African in Africa should have much to say and do within that time towards fixing for all time the future of his races in Africa. Will he say and do much? He had better than not. "JUSTICE" PRESIDENT WILSON'S KEYNOTE. No President since the slave holders' war to destroy the Union of the States has gone out of the White House with more hearty wishes of the American people than William Howard Taft. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant" from all sections of the country follows him into private life. No President since the slaveholders' war has entered the White House with more general and sincere good wishes than Woodrow Wilson, the preacher's son who believes in and endeavors to square his official words and acts with the Christian philosophy of his father. "Justice" is the keynote of President Wilson's inaugural address—"justice," so little understood, so little observed between man and man. He will endeavor to humanize the nation. He said: "The firm basis of government is justice, not pity." Again: "Justice, and only justice, shall always be our motto." Again: "The feelings with which we face this new age of right and opportunity sweep across our heart strings: like some air out of God's own presence, where justice and mercy are reconciled and the judge and the brother are one." Finally, President Wilson said: "This is not a day of triumph; it is a day of dedication. Here muster, not the forces of party but the forces of humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us; men's lives hang in the balance; men's hopes call upon us to say what we will do. Who shall live up to the great trust? Who dares fail to try? I summon all honest men, all patriotic, all forward looking men, to my side. God helping me, I will not fail them, if they will but counsel and sustain me!" These be fair, good, brave words for the new President to send as a "summons" to all honest, all patriotic, all forward looking men to his side. We think they will answer him in every time of trial, when the trouble-makers in the Democratic party strive to swerve him from the path of righteousness he has charted for himself and for them and for the nation. The distance is about 2,414 miles.

War is a barbarous game, but which it is regarded as the proper thing brave soldiers are needed, and the Negro soldiers of the four regiments of United States regulars have proved themselves among the bravest of the brave from Battery Wagner to San Juan Hill and the infection camp of El Caney. If we should have trouble with Mexico, and we hope we shall not the black soldiers will as usual be placed in the front of the fighting columns. Shame on the Government of the United States, shame on the people of the nation, that in all of their long years of fighting neither of the four regiments has been offered by men of their races, and that the social perpetr in the army should even now commive at the mustering out of the four regiments, "on account of race and color." WORK FOR BISHOP TURNER. Bishop Henry M. Turner, who has just retired from active work as a bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, after fifty five years of ministry, thirty-one of them as bishop, eighty-one old and vigorous, mentally and physically. He will have plenty of leisure and the salary of a bishop to enable him to enjoy it. The Christian Reorder says We are admonished that the church will have much to gain and the race and personality to learn, if the years now remaining to the good Bishop may be used in writing autobiography of his remembrance. The bishop is strong ample writer, a master in literary description, his command of written English is exceeded by few Americans to day, black or white. He has had a life during slavery in the South, as an officer in the Civil War, as a member of the legislature, as a minister, general officer and bishop of the Church. He has been editor missionary, better agitator. He has the ability, the expert and the opportunity to write as per the Negro was ever written or to day can write as per the place in the history of the burial with the place in the history of the burial would him an audience and we would dare predict that it be found the mind to it this country one of the most valuable books in reconstruction and race relations, written in a generation. And we hope he will be born blind to that task for the next few years if it spares him. We venture to say the most interesting and valuable chapters in such a book would be those relating to Bishop Turmer's experiences in the days of slavery and the reconstruction days. He was twenty-seven years old when the slave- war broke out, and therefore had enough of slavery and its horrors to fill a book. The Negro needs very much to write history as well as help to make it. We have too few books written by our men concerning conditions before and immediately after the war. Most of their thoughts reduced to writing since the war have been buried in theological pit from which there is no reurrection unto life. Took up in the Record in the hope that Bishop Turner will devote his life to the writing the story of his life and times. It should be a storehouse of inspiration to our young people of the future and of instruction and comfort for those of us of the present. It would be the best and most enduring monument Bishop Turner could build for himself. Muscle seems to be on the top for the moment in politics of Arkansas. Judge W. H. Kayson, president of the Southern Jailhouse League, has been by the law-religion a United States judge in March. We suppose he succeeds the judge, but the dispatch before us did not seem the dead man enough to say. Jacksonville, Fl., February 8. — A great deal of sympathy in being taken up by the editor of this magazine, and Eastern entitlement by the龙头 of the North. A good deal of sympathy might well be in a great many things the key to the success of the magazine and away ahead of the North in the North. We agree wholly with Editor Murphy in the above statement. We are constantly spending our time and money in holding indignation meetings, but we spend precious little time in considering our own needs right at home. We spend too much time in listening to long-winded, impractical advice. Hear him again when he says: We weathe the assertion that there are more Negro cloth, bookkeepers, secretaries, typewriters in Birmingham alone than there is in New York City, or possibly any one other large Northern city. The above sentence should carry a pregnant lesson for our leaders here in the North. But to continue to quote from Editor Murphy's striking statements. Another proposition in the south is the large number of Negro mechanics. They are here in large and increasing numbers, with no proportions at all, but one moreover we work besides his white brother without the least friction, so one may see a Negro bricklayer, or a Negro carpenter, with a white fellow mechanic, who may see in almost any large city in the south even skyscrapers erected and architected drawing the plans and directing the work. While I am writing this letter and sitting at a window which looks up upon which I have not seen white workman except the foreman, which happened because there was no Negro builder contract under the terms necessary to put up the building. And by the way it is a Negro building, three stories of which it has offices and stores, and I have been informed that nearly all the available space has information that nearly all the building is completed that a number of the substantial citizens of this place are going to open up a bank in first-class shape with at least twenty-five hundred dollars capital. Let our people here in the North who are engaged in washing windows, dusting counters, waiting on the table and running errands read with care what Mr. Murphy says regarding the Negro mechanic in the South. Hear him again when he describes the home of a colored man, Mr. J. H. Bldggett in Jacksonville, Fla. There is in this town a colored man who less than twenty years ago was working on the streets in his overalls, and who lives in this city, planned and built exclusively by Negroes. In his dining room the parceling is in wood that a New York gentleman in it built for one thousand feet, and it is doubtful if it can be obtained even at that price. This gentleman is a builder himself and one hundred houses, most of which he has built himself. This gentleman owns home in one of the most commanding sites in the beautiful garden with a large bothouse for his flowers, and will have when completed a fine billiard room and other conveniences for we have been in the house from to Nortown. And what is more, there are in this particular section at least a dozen of houses they have bought up all the available ground around and only houses ranging from for to ten thousand dollars will be built in one of the hundred best yards in the city, and close to where the city is building a fine hospital. The leader in Mr. Thompson, who is practically the leading Negro lawyer in this city, and is estimated to be worth at least fifty thousand dollars, gentleman who the leader in and is said to be worth nearly half a million dollars, all made by his own effort, standing the business world is AI, and command anything he wants in business line. An abusing thing about Mr. Bledges that when he first came to Jacksonville he had done some trifling job. It being a Saturday night might be the needed money badly and since it was raining hard Kingston it was in the mood of sending him away when the banker was willing for him and said she had him a dollar extra for some work he did, and pain him, but not before the banker had his private and asked for his dirty feet and wet dripping hands upon his porch. To day when Mr. Bledges visited the office of that same banker and asked for a smoke and asked to take a smoke. Thus things as well as conditions change. The Negro in the South is even using automobiles. In this city almost every prominent colored business man owns his own automobile and for his own two, one for him, and one for his wife, time and time the cars are owned by colored men, and colored people ride more horse in carriages than any church to business plan anywhere, the better claim do not patronize the street cars only when compelled to. The South is not wholly all right, but in all candor we ask, if it is not time for us in the North to "get busy" ourselves and cease giving our Southern brothers so much "advice." DUNNE OF ILLINOIS Taking the bull by the horns is exactly what some of the Chicago "leaders" have done in appealing to Gov. Dunne to lend his aid to the colored people of Illinois in the fight they are likely to be called on to make for their rights if the gentlemen in the Legislature can have their way. In this case the horns have been attacked before the bull has begun to fling dirt, though yet we suspect him. Eternal vigilance is a happy thing, and for a long season the State street problem solvers have known no ends of happiness. THE AGE imagines Gov. Dunne in no role the playing of which would undo the spirit of the constitutions of either Illinois or the United States. He has long been the ardent champion of the rights and liberties of all men. He is associated with the spirit as well as the letter of freedom, and there is too When he met the president of our army and gave a company of his intimate devotion, Colored men gave with him in his two campaigns for Mayor of Chicago, and fought his battles last fall, when his battlers were thought to be few. The Ace believes him too much man and too little politician to undertake a part to disturb the colored people of Illinois. However, our men in Chicago do well to watch events, measure men, weigh words, and keep Gov. Dunne armed with facts. "THE MAN FARTHEST DOWN." To the Editor of The Age I recall that when I read that thrilling biographical sketch of that remarkable man, the late Bishop Charles C. McCabe, written by Bishop Charles C. McCabe, have my brethren throughout the nation, but especially of his own church, read that volume. I have no means of knowing but I dare say very many did read it. The same way on reading Dr. Booker T. Washington's recent book entitled "The Man Farther Down." I feel that it should be read by his own people everywhere, and that it would prove a blessing to the entire country read by men of all races. In thinking of the public the result of his observations on this special line Dr. Washington has done his people a distinct and positive service. He may not have succeeded in finding the man who gave the difference to us whether he did or not, it is nevertheless gratifying to know that he is fully satisfied that the Negro of America is not the man farther down. Such a conclusion on Washington should be a reminder that Washington should be inspiration to all. There are no many discouraging things said and so many unfair and unjust things done, the danger is that many seeing the dark side only may become discouraged. In discussing interest volume one is bound to see as never before how limited are the opportunities there as compared with the large number by which we are surrounded here. This stands out more in the reader'sibly compared more in the reader's mind as he follows the author. Another point which I think quite as important as that and stands forth as distinctly as language can present it, is that the black man is not the only one against whom there is bitter opposition, and that if possible there are those who are hindered by it than is he. The reader is compiled to reach such a conclusion as he proceeds. And again, as much as we may wish for all that is best for others, it is helpful to know that hard-worked poorly paid black woman of the South is not at the bottom by any manner of means. True it is that this class labors under great disadvantages in comparison with many in her own land and elsewhere, nevertheless the light of hope and joy can fill in her face and she only to lift her head, behold it and get forward. Of course we have many disadvantages and hindrances, but all who desire it can have work and any laboring man who wishes to do so can at some sacrifice purchase a home, with bread and settle in the great race of life. But this volume not only instructs and cheers the Negro, it also enables others to stand him alongside of those who can boast of many more years of freedom and yet haven't as much show for it on any line as has he. Prepare him with the best of other races with their years of advantage and then denounce him because he does not measure up to them in every particular. We need not boast for it is too early and redouble our effort. Meanwhile set us read this book and thank God for such a man as Booker Washington who has so long proven himself to be. L. B.

(8Y MAY MARTEL) According to press reports there were thirty-two colored women in the woman's suffrage demonstration which took place last week in Washington, D.C. I was afraid the race wouldn't be represented at all. Last fall when thousands of white suffragists marched down Fifth Avenue anxiously looking for women of my own race, we see one in the queue of march. Colored women much afford to be indifferent to move which means progress. Women are going to get the ballot in New York State, and it is only a question of time before they will have it in every State of the Union. Ten states have already accorded them the right. The fight, however, is being waged entirely by the women they have kept it up, their triumph is near at hand. Colored women have done little, if nothing to help in the struggle. In the Borough of Manhattan there is a single colored woman's suffrage organization. We had one, but as is in the case, the leader was chosen for her rib tongue and suave manner and the sturdy qualities of character she possessed. Today she is extracised and the organization which was formerly under the supervision of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmire has gone to pieces. We need another one led by a woman whom we can all respect, and who will be a credit to her race and not a disrace. The colored women should not allow themselves to be pushed aside. If there is any disposition of that kind by white women, and if I don't believe they have shown very much sympathy with the movement or done much except to ridicule it, I know this is true of colored men. It is worth the chance of an unmarried woman to get a husband if she professes to be a suffragist, and the married ladies seem inclined to passively accept the opinion of their liege lords, most of whom are openly and avowedly against the suffrage movement. It is harder to mind the statement I heard by an eminent lecturer the other day that there were Negro slaves who were violently opposed to being free. Unbelievable, indeed it is, but I doubt anyone will be surprised when we see her. No BROOKLYN NOTES 2. D. Zavin, 227 DeKalb avenue, left this week for an extended trip to Cuba.

If taken indefinitely it will act upon the liver and clear up a muddy complexion. If taken occasionally it will make it more palatable to take. It is useless to apply creams to eradicate wrinkles unless one is going to build up the body, give it good food, exercise and plenty of fresh air. Massage should always be preceded by soaking the skin well in hot soapy water to render it pliable and to open the pores, and then rinsed off in several waters and some good skin food applied. In massage it is always well to remember that to take off flesh it must be worn away by severe rubbings, and that gentle stroking will only add to the sine. Correct, strong stroke wear off fat, and at the same time strengthen the muscles so that they do not sag and let wrinkles form. Don't let the corners of your mouth droop, it never becoming. Turn the corners up even if it costs you an effort. A big glaze of hot water with a bit of lemon juice taken before breakfast is good for the digestion. Most people believe that beauty is only deep, but that is a mistake. Beauty is a matter of health and temperament.

More room in the home; more care for the children there; introduction of the daily bath; the tooth brush; the separate bed for all members of the family; the introduction of the one seat deck in the school room; the individual cup or glass there; the paper towels and napkins in all public places, so helping to make people cleaner morally as well as physically. The association realizes the tendency of the race, that part of it often whose opportunities have been best, to drift away from the church and the influences of the Bible and so it tries to counteract this by placing Bibles and other sacred master in eating houses, restaurant beds, etc. A few months ago this letter came: I have been in the prison for two years and the Bible you sent me has been my constant solace. I leave here next month and this book will go with me and I know that it will keep me from wrongdoing all the days of my life. All mothers, young and old, educated and uneducated, need to confer together, to study the best things in the rearing of and the caring for their children, to understand how to select and direct the reading, the music, the company of their boys and girls, to be able to care for life of their sons and daughters, but not least, to be a wife and a mother. There are five hundred of these. Mothers Meetings already at work and thousands of others still needed amongst us. Reaching the Country Woman. "The country women is sorely neglected. Her home is bare of pictures and books. Her churches and Sunday schools are supplied with ill-prepared men and women. Her scholars are poorly taught. She and her children are left alone in the majority of causes to do both the work of the home and the debt of the school. She desolate and miserable existence. Mrs. Warren Loran stands at the head of this department to bring surreptitious to the National whereby this country woman may be fit for her mission and may be happy in her life. No greater thing can the National do than to be stimuli to this lonely country woman. "The world at large realizes that the child must be saved in order to have the men and women needed for its development, and so the Juvenile Court is an institution created and kept up by the influence of women as a result of the work of the department. We beginning of reform homes and schools for small boys and girls who would otherwise be shut up in the prisons with old and experienced men and women. The Mt. Meigs Reformatory. "The home or school at Mount Meixe, Ala., is the direct result of the influence of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. Ten or more years ago, one or two of us went to Birmingham, Ala., to see an honorary judge to ask him for the small boys who came before his court. He kindly consented, provided we could show that we had a place to take these youngsters and a person to hold and control them. We could not show either, but A school in the impoverished city of Atlanta has been always at all times at least forty or more little boys in this home. More land was rented. Two more men employed, a room added here and there. Two thousand dollars in each year, to say nothing about shoes, clothing, implements, bedding, grooming, improved woman of the State of Alabama. Wishing to turn our attention to the girls of the State and feeling that the school for boys should be enlarged and cared for by the State, we have succeeded in getting the Legislature of Alabama to take over the property and to be responsible for the maintenance and the enlarging of the place. The boys, has built a larger house for the boys, has built a hundred acres, has put in cows, mules, tools of all sorts, and in the finest way possible, is doing its part for us. To show you how the Governor of the State feels he has insisted upon keeping the same teachers whom we had employed declaring in the presence of his friends, that women who could begin to carry on a work like this are better trained, and the men to be over these boys and those who are here shall be, retained as long as I have any say so. There are ninety-seven boys in this home at the present time. The salaries of all of the men have been increased, a water system is now being put in, a house of small industries is being built, a school is being built, and will be as these States become more intelligent as to conditions. Woman's Suffrage. Our attitude toward the suffrage is one of the conservative kind. We have not blown up any houses with dynamic nor have we been engaged in purging the streets in men's attire, in women's dress and in studying the great questions which are it's main for the good of the country and when the vote is given to woman as it surely will be where it is not already done, we shall be ready to cast our votes intelligently and there shall not be the general accusation that our votes are for a way from a drink of liquor to two dollars. There are the professional and business women whose interests are being pushed so that the woman who is inclined to be independent of her father and brothers in her struggle for a living may not be swallowed up. The National knows these women, where they are located, what they are doing, work; presents them to the public and in every way holds them together and adds to their strength and usefulness. The National association looks with disdain upon rag time music and vaud deville tendencies. It knows too well that the play of these things upon the race is alarmingly harmful. The music of the best men and women of the race is exhibited at its biennials. The men and women themselves are brought forward wherever it is possible. The masters in music and art have the music which not only always the body but the soul in immoral motion to the rhythm of turkey trot and its kind will surely be less as the years come and so and the race grows intellectually hungrier than it now seems to Want Cleaner Care. "Cleaner cars, more room, a larger number of seats, in the cars, separate toilets for men and women on the trains, separation of well-dressed, well-mannered people, stools at the cars for women, better ventilation in the cars, protection of young women and girls by the door of the car, the porter and the conductor now and then, the removal of the fruit and cocaca stands in the small apartment set aside for us, lights and fires in the waiting room are all questions now before the Department of Railroad Conditions. Now and then one sees a slight improvement in these directions. "Unnecessary early posters are taken down by permission. Newspaper advertisements which carelessly magnify the physical features of men and women are written to and shown the harm of crime of mind and you may be interested to know and you may often courteous replies are received and slight efforts are made to correct this evil. The Big Sister Movement is one of the youngest and also one of the strongest departments we have; strong, because of its importance. Already hundreds of girls and boys have found their Big Sister in some woman whose hard place is of whose loving interest receives them into her home after a downfall until a place of refuge be found. The girl who is just getting ready to make a mistake, the girl who does not confide in her own mother; the girl who is left alone to decide for herself needs this Big Sister quite as an adult; the girl who is away and has fallen, and so this Big Sister will have much work to do. The Ultimate Aim. "Where is all this work tending? What will it be to the women of the race in their daily lives?" Will they be better wives, and mothers, finer women, so occupied with the larger and more important things of life, that the cheap dance with its appeal to the emotions only will be avoided?" The too frequent whist tables with its ever increasing evil throats upon the conscience of those who not only take part but as well upon those who stand by and look will find itself in disuse, that the idle and often unkind gossip indulged in will be supplanted by the latest book, the latest book, the latest book, to be purchased last but not least, the baby's baddlings, and wonderful antics which mothers so delight to repeat, the new fashions in hat and dress, etc. "What is a woman's club, any way? One woman gives it this definition: 'A meeting ground for those of purposes, great and strong, whose aim is toward the stars, who ever longs to make the patient listening worlds resound with sweeter music, purer, nobler tones; a place where kindly helpful words are said, and kindlier deeds are done, where hard work where health of brain on poverty stems and where a hand and soul finds touch with soul. This is a woman's club, a haven fair, where toilers drop and lose their load of care.' "This all means to the National Association of Women's Clubs, a hustling ground to build better homes, to establish good schools, to insist upon a cleaner and a more intelligent ministry, to teach respect for the aged, to bring the child and the parent close together, to care for the man and woman, husband and wife to theization of their individual responsibility and so reduce divorce and separation, to make a fireside for a race and lash but not least, the Colored Woman's Club's duty is to teach herself self-control, revolutionizing communities and bringing about their moral and civic salvation and so saving the race to itself that the great national body colored shall realise its mission and shall do its work well is I am sure, the desire of all here tonight."

I want to be all I want to be of faith, and that will all I want to be. E. GAGNON writes: "Here is my report since taking the Bargel treatment. I am a man 61 years of age and was all run down to the very bottom. I had to quit work, as I was so weak. New, cheap Bargel treatment. I gained 10 Bargel with 21 days treatment. I tell you how happy I feel. All my clothes are getting too tight. My face has a good color and I never was so happy in my life." MRS. VERNIE ROUSE says: *Sargol is certainly the grandest treatment* I used it. It has helped me greatly. I couldn't get up three days out of a week, with strenge troughs. I took only two boxes of Sargol and did not buy any. I don't have any and have no more headaches. I pounds and now I weigh 149 and feel better than I have for five years.

But it is safe to predict that the “Creoles” selected will be from the vi- sinity of 135th street and Lenox avenue. Sam T. Jack once. had a company of “Creoles” and there have been other theatrical organizations im which “Cre- oles” played a prominent part. Now William Hammerstein comes forth as a modern Mr. Christopher Columbus and im an attempt to rival his distinguished father as an impresario, announces that he will soon present at the Victoria ‘Theatre “Creole” ushers. Creoles are supposed to speak French, bat it would never, never do to say Comment vous porics vous or au revoir -to Mr. Hammerstein's «female ushers, for they would not know about what you were talking. But for all that. one may rest assured that the “Creole” ushers at the Victoria will be “high yallers,” as they say. in Harlem, and will have “patent leather hair.” - The advent of the “Creole” usher, at the Victoria Theatre will mean the pass- ing away of the colored male usher. For a number of years colored male ushers have been doing duty at the Vie- toria, and they are said te have made more money showing theatregoers to their seats than any other corps of wshers in the city. Repeated attempts have been made to get William Ham- merstein to -supplant the colored men with white ushers, but all efforts were unavailing, The Hammersteins are pretty broad-minded citizens when it comes to the color question. And if they were -not strong men with minds of their own they would have had a change of heart long ago. For there is fo place in New ‘York where “color- phobia” is so rampant as in the vicinity of Seventh avenue and Forty-second mreet, where poor, broken-down actors with Southern tendencies abound in farge numbers. Besides, many of the fooking agents are likewise afilicted. Many of the leading Broadway thea- tres are employing female ushers, and the time is not tar distant when all the principal cities in New York will have members of the gentler sex showing theatregoers to their seats. While we regret to see the colored male usher wake his exit at the Victoria, we thank Mr. Hammerstein for the kindly con- sideration shown in installing “Creole” ushers in his place. Wednesday of this week the managers of the Eastern and Western burlesque wheels convened in New York, and for several days they are to consider the advisability of getting together with a view to working in she future on 4 more friendly and profitable basis. Far several seasons these two burlesque wheels have been engaged im a war-to- the-knife which has been very hurtful to all concerned. As this seems to be an era_of getting together, the burlesque men are going to emulate the example of Klaw & Erlanger and the Shuberts and agree’upon a plan whereby there will be less tighting and more money made. And the colored performer is to be considered at this important session! For three years or more attempts have been made to get colyred companies in the Eastern and Western whicels, but the, idea has been frowned upon at cach in- stance by the majority of members of the respective wheels, As is usually the case when adverse action is taken on a matter in which the colored brother is under consideration, it is- difficult te ascertain the whys and wherefores; and 0 it has been in connection with those on the outside who have sought booking for a colored show on either of the bur- Fesque circuits. One big burlesque manager is said to have declared a few days axo that he was not in favor of putting a colored burlesque on his circuit because he had been interested in an experiment during the fag-end of the theatrical season of 1910-11, and that the colored company had not met with success. I woitld like to ask this burlesque manager if he thinks he gave the col- ored show in question a fair chance to make good? Waiting until May to find ‘out if a show is a drawing card is simi- ve at a R. tS A (7 MA 3 at a> ° TR VEE @ \ = hig’ ye among the managers. Now if the bur- leaque men are fearful that such a situa- tion might exist let each manager ac- quire an equal interest’ in ‘the colored show; then all will be peace and har- mony. * ‘The managers of both wheels are said to*be willing to listen to arguments ir favor of admitting a colored show ox the burlesque circuits, and a well-known colored performer will be among the speakers. It is said that if the cham: pions of the colored performer fail in their demands for the admission of 2 colored show on both circuits, a fight will be made to get one colored act in every burlesque show.

The name of the first playlet is “The Traitor,” and is full of catchy songs. bright repartee, pretty tableaux and good singing. Besides the playlet there will he the regulation number of vaudeville acts, giving to the colored theatregoers of Harlem both quantity and quality. In speaking of the new stock com- pany, which will be known as the Negro Players. Will Marion Cook has this to say: ‘The Negro Players, a Company formed for the development of Ne- kro music and drama, will begin at the Lafayette, acJarge theatre Jo- cated in Harlem, on March 17, 9 series of productions.

Patrons of the Crescent Theatre who went to see “The Country Store,” as advertised by the management, were sur- prised, some very agreeably, the first half of the week to learn that “The Country Store" was neither an act nor a motion picture. “Manager Friob has put in a large list of provisions, such as sausage, hams, etc, and at each evening performance the patrons are given slips containing numbers. Those holding lucky numbers get “free doings.” Mime. Dempsey and Company proved the strongest attraction. The act is strong in spots. Mme.

A most unique pageant was the parkage of historic scenes at Hampton, present at the college of Hampton, and Nexgo students of that school, under the auspices of the New York Samuel Armstrong Association, Monroe County, March at the Arsenic Hall. A presenting, and presentative event was present, and the interesting and instructive features of the program were given appreciative attention. The pageant opened with scenes by eight colonists in the visit of Capt. John Smith to the Kliquotans in search of volley for the colonists at Jamestown who were threatened with starvation during the siege. Kliquotan was handed. Kliquotan was situated on the present site of Hampton. The scenes showed the perception given Capt. Smith, when the Indians gave the scene to the students. Joined in smoking the pipe of peace. The next scene represented the landing of the first slaves at Jamestown, in 1615, a Dutch trades exhanging ship, the Knotton, receiving in exchange and tobacco. A chorus, "Thum a hum," was sun, with typical songs and dances. Then followed various phases of Negro plantation life, showing cotton picking, peanut picking, and the music and songs of the Knotton. The music was "Ts gwine pick off Massa's peas." A prayer meeting in the woods was shown, which was interrupted by the coming of the white master, who introduced the slaves to the rendered and all the slave swerve free. Scenes of reconstruction days followed, showing many hopeless slaves seeking for homes. The Freedmen's Bureau in Hampton was filled with the refugees. The first Freedman's school, established on the present site of Hampton in 1616 by Mrs. Peake, a Negro woman teacher was shown. The character of the slave was introduced by Mrs. Anderson, a step-daughter of Mrs. Peake. The peasant ended with a chorus by thirty Hampton students, representing various activities of the school, showing farmers, artisans, business men, students and literary workers. Charles R.

He urged the most liberal support of the Negro, and the excellent work it is doing for the colored race. Dr. Williams sounded a note of warning that if the people of the country allow prejudice to prevent their being fair the Negroes this nation might go through the name experience of the Negro, and thus fused to give education and industrial opportunities to the Mohammedans.
