Davis Shot Six Times in Altercation with Police Although Irene Leslie is Known as a White Woman a Negro Claims She is His Cousin REPORTS ARE CONFLICTING Daily Papers Publish) Sensational Article About Negro Killed for Insulting White Woman. With six bullets from a policeman's revolver in his body, Daniel D. Davis is dead at his late home, 570 Lenox avenue, near 139th street. He was shot Monday morning, March 17, about five o'clock, in an altercation with Police Officer George McMichael, of the Lenox Avenue Police Station, who was on fixed post at the corner of Lenox avenue and 39th street. From the best information obtainable Irene Leslie, referred to in the daily papers as white, who is a cabaret singer, living at the Harriet apartments, 46 West 139th street, third floor front, in rooms occupied also by a Negro politician, was returning home from filling a cabaret engagement. Davis, because of some domestic disagreement, had spent Sunday night at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Lah Fernandez, 7 West 131st street. He had gotten up about half-past four o'clock Monday morning and was returning to his home. Statements made by Miss Leslie are to the effect that she was molested by Mr. Davis and she appealed to the policemen, whom she found at 139th street. Statements by others who claimed to be eye-witnesses are that the woman was standing at the corner talking to the policeman. The reports are confusing. What really happened will probably never be known. What Nationality Is Woman? Sitting the various conflicting statements, it would appear that the woman's reputed relations with another Negro were known to Davis, who probably knew the woman. The afternoon papers of Monday referred to the woman as being white, and she is commonly supposed to be white by all the folks in the neighborhood. But an ACE representative was informed by the proprietor of a popular resort that one of his customers, a Negro, claims to be a cousin to her. The fight which terminated in Davis' death was within fifty feet of the apartment house in which he lived. He evidently got the best of the policeman in the fight, cutting him most severely about the face with his razor. It is claimed that McMichael's, the wounded policeman, did the first shooting. Mrs. J. S. Coles, 60 West 139th street, was aroused by the noise of the altercation and saw the final outcome from her window on the top floor, and her belief is that McMichael was too weak to shoot. Police Officers Hefferdinger and Hippenheimer were on the opposite side of Lenox avenue, is the story of Edward Williams, 634 West 131st street, the assistant janitor at 570 Lenox avenue, who claims to have seen the shooting. These officers came to the wounded officer's assistance. Claims have been made that Davis was shot in the back, but an Acq representative through the courtesy of Undertaker David Brown examined the body and located the wounds. Think Davis was Mentally Deranged. Three wounds were in the body, all entering from the front. One was at the top edge of the right breast bone, and this bullet probably hit the pulmonary artery. Another was in the left lower abdomen. Either of these shots would have killed Davis, but the third bullet plowed straight through his heart, causing instant death. Three bullets passed through the muscles of the left arm, which were evidently aimed also at the heart. People who/claim to have seen the shooting state that several shots were fired after Davis had fallen to the ground. Scars on the left temple show that he fell on his left side. Mr. Davis the widow, says that Mr. Davis mind has been affected for some time as a result of excessive study, and this is accompanied by several of his friends. For some time he has been going close study to the doctrine of Christian Science, and was a firm believer in it. Mrs. Fernandez, sister of the deceased, thinks that this hard work is combined with brooding over domestic matters unsettled his mind. Mr. Davis's brother and sister, are original, from Atlanta, Ga., where they were born in the highest esteem by the best white and colored people of that town as attested by letters of recommendation by David D. Davis, the servant brother. Although the shooting occurred al- The New York Age. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. most in front of her door, Mrs. Davis knew nothing of it. She was aroused by a policeman who came to her door and ordered her to dress and come with him. She complied, not knowing what was wanted, and when the pavement was reached the officer, showing her the blood on the pavement, informed her that a policeman had been cut by her husband. The body of the dead man had been removed to the Harlem Hospital, and she was taken there to identify the body. Upon entering the hospital in company with the officer, who treated her with every consideration, she was approached by one of the hospital attendants, who brusquely demanded of her, "Do you know the nigger who cut the policeman?" Mrs. Davis has been in a state of hysteria since her husband's death and has required the constant attendance of her friends. Mrs. Sarah Bishop, 592 Lenox avenue, has been looking after her, assisted by other friends, and a physician had to be called in on Tuesday. The funeral will probably be held Sunday. The remains are in charge of Undertaker W. David Brown, 146 West 53d street. As is usually the case, the afternoon papers of Monday published long articles with large headlines telling of the Negro who had been killed by police officers for insulting a white woman. It was significant that the morning papers of Tuesday did not publish a line about the killing. 'CLEAN-UP' DAY IN VIRGINIA Special to THE NEW YORK AGE HAMPTON, Va., March 18.—The Negro organization, Society of Virginia, has issued a State-wide call for "Clean-up Day" on April 14. Negroes are asked to give a thorough cleaning inside and outside, to their dwellings, barns, and outhouses, clear their yards, whitewash or paint their houses and fences, guard against impure water supply; and do everything they can to make their houses and bodies thoroughly clean and proof against disease. The State Board of Health has agreed to publish and distribute free of charge a special bulletin—"Health Handbook for Colored People"—which will be mailed to leading colored teachers and ministers with a personal request that the printed instructions be carried into effect. White people having servants about them are asked to cooperate in this health campaign for Negroes. "Clean-up Day" is the beginning of an organized movement for fighting filth, disease, and death among Virginia Negroes. Preachers and teachers will bring together the people of their several communities not later than the first week of April to create interest in this practical health campaign and arrange plans so that on April 14 everything will be in readiness for "Clean-up Day." At the preliminary meetings the State handbook will be discussed. Dr. Allen G. Freeman, State Board of Health, Richmond, Va., will furnish copies of the colored health bulletin. Those who organize to observe "Clean-up Day" on April 14 will report on results to John H. Gandy, Petersburg, Va., who is the executive secretary of the Negro Organization Society. The State-wide call is signed by James T. Phillips, of Petersburg Normal School; J. M. Gandy, and Robert R. Moton, Commandant of Hampton Institute. DECLARES DIVIDENDS8.

ANDERSON ARRESTED ON PECULIAR CHARGE One of the Editors of the Amsterdam News Summoned to Court Miss Marie Louise Taylor Swears Out Warrant Charging Anderson in Father of 4-Months-Old Baby. James H. Anderson, one of the editors of the Amsterdam News, a paper published in Harlem, was arrested March 12 at the instance of Marie Louise Taylor, 210 West 54th street, who is seeking to have him support a four-months-old baby, claiming that he is the father of the child, and that it is likely to become a charge upon the city. The warrant was issued by Justice James J. McInery of the Court of Special Sessions, March 10. Anderson has furnished $300 bail and his case has been set for trial March 27. Miss Taylor secured the issuance of the warrant by applying to the Department of Public Charities. The paper with which Anderson is connected publishes scandal dealing with the private affairs of men and women. According to Miss Taylor, who is employed as a domestic in a private family, the baby girl was born November 4, 1912. Miss Taylor claims she first met Anderson about two years ago at a dance at Manhattan Casino. Anderson, she says, won her confidence by telling her that although he was a married man he was not happy, and her sympathy went out to him. On February 22, 1912, Miss Taylor alleges she was at Bethel M. E. Church, of which she is a member, and Anderson met her after services and asked to take her home; that they first went to a hotel in $3d street, where they had lunchchen. Miss Taylor says Anderson also visited her once where she worked. When the baby was born Anderson is said to have promised to give Miss Taylor $5 weekly for the support of the baby, but she informed the authorities that he had failed to keep his word hence the reason for haling him to court. She claims to have received but $35 from Anderson for the support of the child in four months. CHURCH USHERS ORGANIZE FORM DUNBAR CLUB.

'BLONDIE' BROWN SENTENCED Is Given No Less than Three Years and a Half and No More than Nine Years by Judge Rosalsky—Was Convicted of Rape. Tuesday morning Judge Rosalsky of the Court of General Seasons sentenced Joseph Brown, alias "Blondie" to no less than three years and a half in the State prison and no more than nine years for criminally assaulting a sixteen-year-old girl on July 20, 1912. Brown broke down while Judge Rosalsky was passing sentence and cried. Judge Rosalsky called the jurors forward and asked if anyone desired to recommend clemency in the case. Only one of the twelve men answered in the affirmative, but he was not insistent. The court refused to listen to Robert N. Wood, leader of the United Colored Democracy, although the defendant's attorney asked that Wood be given an opportunity to speak in Brown's behalf. The convicted man enjoys a large acquaintance in Harlem, and until a short time ago was employed on the recommendation of the United Colored Democracy as assistant janitor in the Assembly at Albany. The "girl whom he assaulted is about to become a mother. NEW BOARD ELECTED Howard Orphanage and Industrial School Has a New Board of Managers—Meeting Hold Monday. The annual meeting (postponed last October) of the Society of the Brooklyn Howard Orphanage and Industrial School was held Monday at the city office, 545 Herkimer street, President R. M. Whiting presided. The newly elected board of managers are Clinton L. Rossiter, Alfred A. Whitman, William N. Baylis, Amos J. Peaslee, R. M. Whiting, M. B.

Timms and the Rev. Wm. H. Brooks. Mr. Whiting explained among other things the standing of the institution and the change in the board of managers which would take place. Counselor D. Macon Webster, who had resigned as a manager, was selected and acted as secretary. M. B. Snevily, the vice-president, explained the intentions of the incoming board, stating that as the institution was greatly in debt L. Hollingworth Wood and other men of influence volunteered to take control for a period of two years and in three payments liquidate the indebtedness. MAY SEND WHITE MAN AS HAITIAN MINISTER Rumor in Business, District That Capitalists with Large Interests in Haiti Will Urge Appointment of White Man if Furniss is Not Retained With a score or more colored Democrats making an active fight for the Ministership to Haiti, a rumor was put in circulation in the business district this week that capitalists with large business interests in Haiti either favor the retention of Minister Furniss or the appointment of a white man to fill the post. Minister Furniss is said to have the confidence of the American capitalists who have large sums of money invested in Haiti. The report is current that in the event of President Wilson's failure to retain Minister Furniss an effort will be made to have named as his successor a white man in whom the capitalists have implicit confidence. During the second Cleveland administration a white man was named to represent the Government at Haiai. With this exception the position has been filled by Negroes. BOOKER L. WASHINGTON TELLS ABOUT CONDITIONS OF NEGRO IN NORTHWEST Educator Writes That no Negroes are Engaged in Business of a Character Common for the Race in Southern States NEGROES EVERYWHERE IN SMALL NUMBERS BUT RACE SOLIDARITY NOTICEABLY LACKING A. M. E. Church a Factor-Negro Votes But Does Not Wield Ballot Effectively-Surprised by Large Audiences That Great Him-Members of Race Give Him Enthusiastic Receptions. Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, is making his first extensive tour of the Northwest. His itinerary includes the States of Washington, Oregon, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Utah. The Age has made arrangements to publish Dr. Washington's observations of the economic and political status of the Negro in the Northwest, and his first impressions appear in this week's issue. The eminent Tuskegeean writes as follows: I have long cherished the idea that I might have the opportunity of visiting this part of the country. As frequently as the opportunity affords, I like to get into new territory where I can see new faces and new physical surroundings. Above all things, I like to meet and study all kinds of men. Here in the far Northwest I get a rich opportunity to do this. Not only is the opportunity rich in a chance to study men, but equally rich in an opportunity to see how the people are laying the foundation for life in a new territory. It is hard for a person living in the East or South to appreciate what a tremendous territory the United States possesses in this part of the world. One county in Montana is as large as the whole State of Massachusetts. The thing that most interests me is to decision. I still have an open mind, but I have seen enough to almost convince me that the lot of the colored man in this part of the world is not an easy one. It is very noticeable that some of our race lack something, and they seem to be in need of something which they do not find here, and that is racial solidarity, racial oneness. They lack that confidence, as a rule, in their ability to succeed and surmount obstacles which one finds all over the South. They talk more here about racial difficulties and racial discriminations than one hears in the South. In spite of obstacles, however, at every point one finds a few members of our race who are succeeding either in the country as ranchmen or in the cities. There are a good many individuals who have accumulated considerable property. At nearly every point one finds a group of well-meaning, progressive colored people, and certainly I should be the last to criticise them harshly, for they have treated me with the utmost kindness. They have gone out of their way and put themselves to much expense to make my stay in this part of the world agreeable and instructive. In many cases they have worked side by side with the white committees that have made arrangements for the meetings where I am to speak, and I might add that I have been surprised at the tremendous audiences which have greeted me at every point. But back to my race. Industrially and materially the Negro is not having an easy time, that is to say, he has not gotten on the ground floor of industrial activity except in a few scattered cases here and there where individuals have taken up land and have had tenacity and wisdom enough to hold on to the land. In the cities and small towns, with very rare exceptions, the Negro is a porter either in a bank, a store or barber shop, or perhaps runs an elevator in a store. He is the "odd job man," and the white people, it seems, do not expect him to occupy any other position. I ought to make one exception, and that is in the Pullman service and dining car service. Here the Negro holds his own, and the Pullman cars and dining cars one holds him here, as all through the United States, polite, kind and attentive, going out of the way especially to serve one of his own. The white man has not been able yet to break into the Pullman car and dining car service. It is just about as difficult here for a Negro to get regular work as a carpenter, brickmason, plumber or machinist as it is for a Negro in the South to get a county or State office. The trades unions seem to have made up their minds to keep the Negro out. The result is that he is continually pushed to the outer edges of the industrial world, and this fact naturally hurts him in the estimation of the white man who grows into the habit of associating black faces with odd jobs of a menial character. Regardless, however, of the character of the work that the individual is engaged in, almost without exception, and that our people receive a high wage in some cities they are permit to be held carriers, and in that case they receive from $5 to $1 a day. Our man labor and hotel labor the process by them is much higher than the Fast or South. Another illustration will show one of the Negro's difficulties. There are not enough members of his race in the towns and cities to simp-ly a first class eating place. The white man in one way or another, lets him know that members of his race are not welcome in white restaurants. Consequently, the black man is placed in a trying position, not being able to support restaurants of his own and not being welcome in the white man's restaurant. I have long cherished the idea that I might have the opportunity of visiting this part of the country. As frequently as the opportunity affords, I like to get into new territory where I can see new faces and new physical surroundings. Above all things, I like to meet and study all kinds of men. Here in the far Northwest I get a rich opportunity to do this. Not only is the opportunity rich in a chance to study men, but equally rich in an opportunity to see how the people are laying the foundation for life in a new territory. It is hard for a person living in the East or South to appreciate what a tremendous territory the United States possesses in this part of the world. One county in Montana is as large as the whole State of Massachusetts. The thing that most interests me is to study the character and activity of the men and women who are taking up these immense tracts of land, but it will be years before all the land is occupied. There are twice as many colored people in the State of Alabama as the whole population of the State of Montana represents. One cannot be a "tenderfoot" and exist in this part of the world. As I have ridden through the States of North Dakota and Montana my attention has been constantly attracted to the thousands of little huts along the railway. In many cases these huts are worse looking than the poorest log cabin in the South. In fact, these people do not wait, in many instances, to build a house of any kind, but tunnel into a hill and in that way make a place for their families to live in for a few months, until they can erect somesemblance of a house, but the main thing is that they get hold of their land first. They settle on a few hundred acres which they get from the government, or buy at a cheap rate, and in this way they make their start, suffering for many months all kinds of privations. I have heard of scores of people who 10 or 15 years ago began life in this way who to-day are prosperous, intelligent and independent farmers. In getting their start they have suffered more hardships by reason of the extreme cold and long distances than many colored families ever suffer in the South. Irrigation Necessary. Often, too, after they get hold of their land, they are disappointed in raising crops. Sometimes they have a crop failure every other year, but nevertheless they stick to their job. In nearly every portion of this part of the country the farmer does not depend upon rain, but upon irrigation. Irrigation is something strange to the colored man, and this makes me question whether colored people will ever settle in this part of the world in large numbers. The average Negro farmer likes for the water to come down from heaven, not from under him or from a hill, and then the average Negro farmer likes to lay off and take it easy during a shower of rain. Everywhere that one goes, however, he is likely to meet a small. Top of colored people, and one become intensely interested in hearing their individual stories as to why they came into this country and what success they have met with. A few of them came here as long as thirty years ago when there were almost no railroads. Perhaps most of my readers will recall that when Lewis and Clark came through this part of the country over a hundred years ago, colored men came with them, and a spot on the Northern Pacific Railroad is now marked which is said to be the gravey of one of the colored men who was a book for Lewis and Clark. Of course the number of colored people in North Dakota and Montana is small, but they "bob up" everywhere. They have come into this country from practically every part of the United States, most of them from the South. Perhaps I may not have seen enough as yet to enable me to reach a definite Progressive Negroes Found. Trade Unions Bar Negroes. Has Largest Circulation TELLS ABOUT NO IN NORTHWEST are Engaged in Business for the Race in tes SMALL NUMBERS NOTICEABLY LACKING So far, I have found practically no colored man engaged in business of a character that is common for our people in the South. Two things are against them in the matter of conducting commercial enterprises. First, large capital is required to begin business. Secondly, there are not enough colored people in any one community to support any large business, and the white man here has not accustomed himself to trade with the Negro. The result is that he is practically out of the commercial world. It would be hard here for colored people to realize that in a city like Montgomery, Ala., colored merchants have large dry goods stores, do business as bankers, and occupy brick business houses two and three stories high, and that they trade with both white and colored people. If the number of colored people increases, things may grow better industrially, but that is problematical. A good many of our people, however, I am glad to say, are far-sighted enough to see that now is the time for those who mean to live in this country to accumulate something that may be handed down to their children. Very, Little Discrimination in Schools of North Dakota. In North Dakota and Montana I have seen no evidence of discrimination between the races in public schools or in the higher institutions of learning. At nearly every point one learns of a few cases where either women or men have graduated at a high school or at some of the State institutions, but when one inquires what has become of these individuals who have gone through the high schools or State universities or normal schools, he is almost invariably told that the individual is either a waiter, a porter or on the Pullman cars. The number of colored children who finish the public school and get their diploma from the high school is comparatively small. The colored children do reasonably well and are treated well in the lower grades, but when they reach the high school they end themselves rather tolerated than actually wanted, and then in many cases I find because they cannot dress as well as the white boys and girls in their classes in high school they are inclined to become discouraged and drop out before finishing the high school. In a word, the Negro children have the same opportunity to get education here that the white children have, but the difficulties begin to present themselves when the Negro seeks an opportunity to use the education which the State has given him. The result is that one often finds individuals with good book education who are engaged in the same kind of tasks that the most ordinary people follow. From a moral point of view, in proportion, to their numbers, I am led to believe that the colored people conduct themselves as well or better than is true of the same type of white people. In a country where the opportunity to degrade oneself through drink and other vicious habits is constantly about him it is surprising to note that such few colored people yield to the temptation of drink and other vicious habits. From this point of view the white people speak well of them. Ministers a Hard-working Set. Wherever one finds a group of fifty or one hundred colored people in any community, there he is likely to find one to three churches, and I am glad to testify to the fact that the ministers who have come under my observation are an earnest, worthy and hard-working set who under many difficulties and in the face of many discouragements are laboring hard to better conditions among the colored people through the medium of the church. The African Methodist Episcopal Church seems to be the leader in this respect. The most intelligent ministers and the best church buildings that I have so far seen are of this denomination, but the minister has a hard road to travel. The number of people of his race in the town is small the church membership is small, often he can't get any large proportion of the people into his congregation, and the result is that he has to struggle from year to year on a very meagre salary and the wonder is that they sustain themselves as well as they do. A few days ago I asked a minister who has a small congregation, not more than twenty members, in Montana, how he goes his salary, how he supported his family and it was pathetic to hear him describe the struggle that he had to go through in order to live. Bishop Parks of the A. M. F. Church is doing fine work in these States under many disadvantage and discouragements. From a social point of view the colored man feels lonesome. Those who have come from the South long for the large church gatherings, the camp meetings, the numerous large gatherings to which they had been accustomed. Some of them go to the white church, but they do not feel exactly at home there. There is hacking the opportunity for them to get that strength and encouragement which can only come by close association with large numbers of their own race. The discrimination in hotels, eating places and places of amusement in the larger cities of Montana is rather marked. I am told that most of the saloons have a assign up stating that colored patronage is not wanted. The white man that one finds in Montana presents a curious subject for study. He is not an Eastern man, not a Southern man, but a kind of cross between the two. A large part of the white population, it seems, originally came from the State of Missouri. The Negro here votes freely: that seems to be about the only thing he can do unhindered and untrammeled, but in some way the ballot does not seem to be able to cure the difficulties to which I have made reference. As I write this letter I still have an open mind, and I may be led before I am through with this trip to change the opinion which I have rather hastily so far formed. One thing is sure, and that is the Negro everywhere is proud of his race and is determined to succeed if success be possible. AUSTIN, TEX. Austin, Tex., March 18.—Mayer A. P.

I cannot begin to tell you all the benefits I have received since the arrival of the two specimens of Loadstones you seat me.

Loss at business; death of loved ones and other troubles to murderous to mention, were driving me to a state of fright. A friend told me to write you for information regarding the system of two Loadstones and their power. As a must 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.

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 Slovery," 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. Beverly, Mabel Ridley, E. I. Wright, Ida Jones, B. L.

It is very hard to find two people of one mind. Indeed, most persons do not know what they want and spend all their span of life trying to find out, while the other sort want too much and waste their years fighting others as subtle as they are in trying to get it. For instance, the New York Sun says, with a fine plantation scorn: "We don't believe there is no nick' person as Cole Blease." Perhaps not, but Cole Blease does. Down in South Carolina, where he is every inch Governor; as far as keeping in the public flashlights goes, Cole Blease has fun with himself or somebody else every day he rises and goes down with the sum. All through the active stages of the Presidential campaign last year Senator Hoke Smith carried himself as one who had been singled out to represent and speak for the Wilson Administration in the Senate, in the event that the Wilson Administration should get into the White House. The thing was by no means pleasing to us, as it unmistakably indicated that legislation in the Senate would be shaped by the strongest of the Negro-haters in the Democratic party and that the Southern Senators would have things as they desired them. The prospect was immensely pleasing to Senator Hoke Smith, and remained so up to the reorganization of the Senate after March 4. "A sensation was caused," March 7, says the New York Times, when the Democratic caucus elected Senator James P. Clarke of Arkansas President pro tempore, instead of Senator Augustus O. Bacon of Georgia," who was entitled to the honor by all the party precedents and traditions. Senator Hoke Smith, who backed Senator Bacon, was shocked, as were all the radical Democratic Senators, while Senator O'Gorman of New York, who backed Senator Clarke, uncovered himself as the representative and spokesman of the Wilson Administration in the Senate, the vote being 27 to 14 Progressive Democrats. For many days last week Gov. Please threatened to put Columbia under martial law if the City Council did not recognize the pardon he granted "Harrison Neely, his Negro chauffeur," and remit $18.75 in fines for two violations of overspeeding the Governor's automobile. At last accounts the City Council and the Governor were standing on their respective legal rights and talking back at each other for publication. The white man will fight fast enough for the Negro when he finds that his own rights, privileges and immunities are tied up with those of the Negro. FREE OF DEBT. Debts of all sorts are the easiest things in the world to contract and the hardest to get rid of. Some people have the debt habit that sticks to them from the cradle to the grave and makes their like one long agony—not by efforts to pay up, but to dodge payment. Honest people who contract debts and intend to pay them are miserable until they do so. The nations that are unhappiest are those that have the largest bonded indebtedness and therefore the highest per capita taxation; while the individual so cumbered has trouble to pay the interest and may never be able to pay the principal. Happy, then, is the person, the institution or the State that is able to say. "Well, I am free of debt—I owe no man anything." We can all appreciate the relief of mind which Archdeacon James S. Russell of the St. Paul Normal and Industrial School at Lawrenceville, Va., feels in being able to say, as he does in a recent letter to the writer, that he has secured enough pledges to extinguish the school debt. Let us all hope that Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and the Negro-hating school of Democrats he stands for have reached the end of their tether in American politics. PRESIDENT WILSON AND THE CHRISTIAN LIFE. There is much ado in Great Britain and the United States over the probable attitude of President Wilson toward certain social customs that have become common in official, and more or less scandalous, in private life. One great London newspaper has warned the President against introducing "too much Puritanism in the White House"; as if it were possible for the President of the United States to get too much of the simple Christian living in his domestic and official family, as a light and leading example to his own and other nations, when the nations are being devoured in public and private life by greed for gain and vulgar extravagance in spending it! All through the campaign last year President Wilson acted and spoke the part of a Christian statesman,—educated in the home of Christian parents, the father being a preacher,—who had been the president of a great university himself, with an army of young men to guide mentally and morally into the higher and better life. The heads of schools of learning are very generally men and women of strong churchly leanings. It is good that they are, for young men and women get little enough of it when they take up the burden of life on their own account, as Satan, the flesh and the devil of the world are against purity of thought and honesty of conduct, and lurk in all sorts of concealments. The value of the St. Paul work can be judged by statements made in a recent issue of the St. Paul Bulletin, headed "Small Beginnings." The work was begun twenty-five years ago as an Episcopal parish school, among a population of 50,000 Negroes, who had to build from the ground up. Today the school has 28 buildings, 1,600 acres of land, 500 students, 400 graduates and over 3,000 undergraduates, and has revolutionized the living conditions of the Brunswick County section, reaching as far as Petersburg, by extension work of economic betterment, which includes a "Farmers' Conference, a County Fair Association, a Teachers' Association, a County School to improve public school conditions and a County Temperance Association." Before he entered the White House, March 4, President Wilson had the inauguration ball striken from the official program, as he and his family do not believe in public dances. There was a great outcry from all over the country by "the high fliers" who "go the pace that kills," but the President's wishes were complied with; there was no official ball, and the inauguration occasion, far from being a dismal failure, was a pronounced success. As soon as he could turn around in the White House President Wilson made a rule that Sunday should be observed in all of the Departments of the Government subject to his order; then he made a rule that no wines and liquors should be used in the White House service. The newspapers in the United States and Great Britain call all this "too much Puritanism in the White House," but it will influence the people of this country to look more closely into the way they employ their leisure and what they eat, drink and wear. The more closely they look into the matter the better will it be for them and for the nation. Archdeacon Russell is a very unassuming man, small of stature, btit big of heart, and has been such a light and leading in the Tidewater section of Virginia as be a fount of inspiration to all those whose lives have touched his. We are glad his school is free of debt, and is in a position to do a greater work than in the past. The high cost of living and the clamor for more wages everywhere have thrown the industrialism of the country into a bad especially important, it is very difficult to earn more wages or get more interest on money in the banks or productive industries, but it is very easy to spend less upon things not absolutely necessary in eating, drinking and clothing and upon entertainments and outings of all sorts. Where could a better example be seen doing this to all of the home people and to the nation than is the White House and by the President of the United States? But all example is waited upon those who need it but refuse to profit by it. Catholic missionaries in Missouri, widely known during and after the war as "General" Tubman, at Auburn, M. Y., Monday, March 16, at the age of 95 or 100 years, perhaps the latter. She died at the Home for Aged Negroes which she deeded to the Zion A. M. E. Church for a home some years ago. She was a woman with a man's strength and courage, as she proved amply by leading some three hundred slaves out of Maryland into freedom before the war, in more than twenty trips she made, with a reward of $40,000 hanging overhead for her capture, offered by Maryland and Virginia, and by the service she rendered the Union Army for four years as a spy and nurse. Mrs. Tubman hated slavery and the slave master, and was one of the originators of the underground railroad between the south star of slave darkness and the north star of free light, the most illustrious traveler by which was Frederick Douglass, who was a friend and admirer of his brave fellow Marylander. NEW STYLES FOR WOMAN. We should be more than woman and less than man if we did not take an absorbing interest in the styles of woman's apparel and the changes it undergoes with the passing of the seasons. We can never pass a department store without spending some time looking into the big glass windows and the gorgeous and varied display of fabrics of all sorts for woman, whose fancy runs to coats more bewildering than Joseph's coat contained before he passed out of the uncertain shehe stage of youth into the certain heshe stage of mishood; for, you know, of course, a boy is a girl until he becomes man and a girl is a boy until she becomes a woman. That is the way nature works, and we are real glad of it. The old Negro veterans, those who followed and those who led, are falling fast by the wayside of time, and the good work they began should be carried further on to completion by those they leave behind. SENATOR HOKE SMITH UNHORSED Any disappointment that may fall to the portion of Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia is satisfactory to us on the face of it. It is not our fault that we have that attitude of mind toward him. As Secretary of the Interior in the Cabinet of President Cleveland he was one of the most popular Cabinet officers among Negroes in Washington. In those far away days Bishop Henry M. Turner was among the most distinguished Georgians who had the ears of Secretary Smith and made the most of them to comfort those he favored who desired to get on the Government payrolls. It is not a bad thing to have the ear of the President or a Cabinet officer and be able by wisely pulling them this way or that to help yourself or others you favor to good things such Government officials control. But Senator Hoke Smith and Secretary Hoke Smith are not one and the same persons. Far from it. More is the pity. In order to become Governor of Georgia, after he had been Secretary of the Interior, and then Senator, Hoke Smith had to eat all the good feelings he had possessed toward the Negro people and to become a terror toward them, and had to abase himself in order to abase them. We are very much pleased with the new bonnets for woman, because they are not expensive, nor loudly vulgar, nor expansive enough to shut off the front view when we are compelled to sit behind them at church, at a ball game or a moving picture show. They are to be fashionable this season shaped like a watermelon cut in half, and of any sort of stuff—velvet, silk, blue jeans—with one feather or flower or bow stuck any place on the bonnet the owner may fancy. Some of them look too cute and fetching for anything. As for skirts, we are all shocked but not surprised to learn from Paris that the man-tailors for woman have decided that they are to continue of the hobble style, and at least six inches narrower at the ankles than they were last season, when they were so tight that woman could not go up or down the stair steps, or get on and off the cara, without falling over themselves or lifting them above the dear calves. However, the reefing is to be relieved this season by slitting the skirt from the bottom to the hips, if necessary, with a broad inpleat to conceal so far as possible the mysteries beneath and to allow the limbs some of the freedom denied them last season. The new skirt will combine all of the bewitching fascinations of the hobble skirt, the sheath gown and the harem skirt. In order to become a great man in Georgia politics Hoke Smith had to get into the class of Negro haters, such as Tillman of South Carolina, Davis of Arkansas, Vardaman of Mississippi and Thomas W. Watson of Georgia. The sacrifice was demanded of him and he made it. He is not alone. Those who follow the Selfish Moloch of ambition or greed far enough will be blasted by it. We are very glad we have been spared to see the spreading hoop skirt of fifty years ago shrink to the dear little combination hobble skirt of to-day—the first too large to sit down in and the last too small and narrow to stand up in. THE HEWERS OF WOOD AND DRAWERS OF WATER The world's work is done by those who were styled in old times as "hewers of wood and drawers of water," slaves of the task masters, who could increase or diminish their burdens at their pleasure or whim. The lords of Europe did this for the masses of their people from the first to the end of the seventeenth century, while the slave drivers of the United States and Latin America did the same with no less authority and rigor from the sixteenth to the middle of the nineteenth century. The condition of the masses of Europe has been greatly improved in the last two centuries, but the lords still are lords, a privileged class, by patent right, and by controlling the lands and the industrial and commercial resources of the nations. In the United States and Latin America the slave master and the slave have been destroyed in a baptism of fire, but the slave master and slave spirit are still troublesome forces in the life of the nation. It will be a long time before the spirits of the two will become blended and harmonized into a working force for good, as the memory of injuries lasts longer than that of benefits—going forward, indeed, from sire to son, even unto the third and fourth generations. Wage slavery promptly took the place of slave labor in the Southern States after the war, and has steadily grown upon both races, so that factory laws to protect white child labor in those States have not only become common but subject of Federal investigation, as fully disclosed recently in a running discussion of the subject in the New York Times. As we have observed it on the spot and gathered from current discussion of the subject, the wage slavery and living conditions of the white "mill hands" of the Southern States, as to their white men, women and children, with small opportunity for school attendance or social improvement, differs very little, if any, from the conditions that hedged about the slaves before the war, and is inferior to the condition of the free Negroes on the farms with their own churches and schools in every district, and the Negro business and wage-earning class in the large cities of the South, in which they have gradually developed a high standard of home, church, social and industrial life, so that the reduction of their average illiteracy and increase in their savings bank deposits and real estate holdings are progress- sively great and matters of national and race pride and felicitation. But wage slavery in mine and factory—from which Negro labor is excluded for the most part—has not only fastened itself on the poor whites of the South since the slave masters' war, but upon those of the Northeastern and Southwestern States as well, so that war between wage-earners and employers has become a chronic and dangerous factor in the National life. During the past Winter in Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey alone upward of a million white workers have at one time and an other been on strike, of long or short term, for more wages and better conditions in which to do their terrible labor tasks. And follow the factory and 'sweatshop' garment workers of New York City alone into their homes, their living conditions, and the squalid evidences of the wage-slave system will remind you of the slave labor and home quarters of the slave "in the days before the war." He need not take any comfort from the fact, but it should encourage him to make the most of his opportunities of all sorts to better his condition, that the Negro is no longer the only "hewers of wred and drawers of water," compelled to make "bricks without straw," as that has become the common lot of the wage-earners of the land—slaves to their stomachs, their landlords, and the tax-gatherers of all sorts. There is but a little bit of the week's wage left to anyone, after all debts are paid, but that little bit should be put in a savings bank where it will grow and can be relied upon in times of need. EDITORIAL NOTES. And the bank in Harlem still waits to come. Keep up the agitation for a Home of Detention for Negro girls in New York, for more Negro police and for a Negro regiment of the National Guard. Money is blood; blood is life. Who squanders his money wastes his life. Savings banks are better and safer places in which to deposit for safe keeping, the pennies and dimes and dollars against the rainy day, than old stockings, tin cans and the like. The day of big things should not be deplied any more than the day of little things. Success as well as failure throws a certain sort of people off their stride. It is the even person who makes good. How many even persons are to be found in the history of mankind at one and the same time? It is a fruitful theme for thought? The best monument a person can have when he is dead is the one he builds for himself while he lives. It is very noticeable also that those who fail or neglect to build a monument in their life time have, no monument built for them by others when they are dead. And monuments are more useful to the living as inspiration than to the dead for comfort. The price of pork chops has advanced higher than any other meat in the past twenty years. This is a real tribute to pork chop eaters which they should appreciate. Do they? We doubt it, as people have become more hoggish in their manners in the past twenty years as the price and quantity consumed of pork chops has advanced. Few people who are hoggish in their manners deny themselves the pleasure of forcing them upon others who do not care for them. Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina has been re-elected Senator for the fourth time. He said in a recent letter that he did not expect to live to be re-elected a fifth time. He should not expect us or the Negroes of South Carolina or the Nation to "queer" his expectations by thought or word. He will have to be dead a long time to expliate the wrongs he has done the Negro people in his comparatively short life. "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interested with their bones." Wearing mourning apparel of some sort for the dead is a custom as old as the ages and common among most people. Dr. Orme of Atlanta, who has just died, requested that his wife and relatives should wear no mourning for him. "It is a harbous custom," he said, "and if abolished would leave much bread for hungry widows and orphans." Again: "To mourn at heart upon the loss of friends is unavoidable; to wear the habiliments of mourning is a form." There is much sound sense in Dr. Orme's view. The same view might just as well be taken of elaborate funerals that impoverish the survivors and do the dead no useful service. The members of the Retail Bakers Association of New York were told by their former president, Frank P. Hall, at their annual dinner last week, that "they would have to assume an obligation to provide wholesome food, manufactured in workrooms equal in cleanliness to the best kitchens, if they would continue to hold the confidence and support of the public". Some bakery shops, like some dairy yards and bakeries, tend to train bakers in, or serve anything out of. We have many such in cities and in country districts. Official inspection has done much and should do more to stamp the fifth out of them. cash. They are small, so they are not the best way to provide for old ones. Children are always in the garden for "charge," and the elder they grow the denser the "discharge shadow" matter about them. If you must be a wage earner, save a nickel every day and put it in a savings bank on pay day, the child will let it stay there as a provision for old age. A nickel a day saved in that way is equal to 5 per cent, a day interest on one dollar, or 25 cents per week. At the end of ten years the principal and compound interest will represent a respectable "nest egg." "Great oaks from little creeks grow," but a great many people despise the little acorns as they do the little nickels, and neglect to bury either where they will grow. Be you one of the wise ones, and begin to save. Hon. James W. Johnson's poem, "Fifty Years Ago," published in the New York Times of January 1, has created a great stir among literary people throughout the country, because of its superior merit. The readers of The Age are familiar with the poem, as we reproduced it in the issue of January 9. Mr. Johnson has been in the United States Consular service for seven years. He is a graduate of Atlanta University and of law. He was long a co-worker with Cole and Johnson in the literary production of their great successes on the stage. He is young yet, with a splendid future before him. He was born in Florida but has resided in New York a great many years. Mr. Johnson has had published much of his work in the leading magazines, and after awhile we may have a collection of his lyrics in book form. White child labor in Southern mills and factories has been much discussed in the New York Times of late, the charge having been made that it is brutally oppressive and degrading. The children, it appears, have been greatly benefited by such labor. It would be difficult to make out a different case when the degraded conditions of the poor whites is considered from which the Southern mills and factories have been and are recruited. We have no brief for those poor whites who will not allow black and colored people to work with them in the mills and factories that Northern textile operators have carried to their doors, but we are aware that their condition has been better, and hope that it may be progressively so. Much depends upon improvement of the moral, mental and material condition of the poor whites of the South—the class from which mobs and alleged statesmen of the Tillman, Vardaman and Cole Blesse sort are recruited. Bishops for Races and Languages. To the Editor of The Age: In an issue of The Age on December 6, 1912, I argued for the passage of the proposed amendment because of the abnormal condition of the church owing to prejudice. I now ask whether the church should be governed by race prejudice or by justice, by the spirit of the Master. Which ought be the stronger, our race prejudice or our resistance in favor of religion. What the remedy proposed Separation, withdrawal, secession will rather increase it and strengthen our claim that prejudice rules the church. Prejudice now does allow us to live in a society where we cause us to live apart in different churches, which will be a new victory for her. She has enough victories already. All these race churches in Methodism are her victories. These churches are her victories in the mother church and any laurels to her, Denominations, as a rule, owe their existence to doctrinal and governmental differences, while different Methodisms too often owe their existence to race prejudice or to regrettable. The best chance for her to gain another victory is in our church. Organically speaking, we are a Methodism not wrecked by prejudice. We are a Methodism is they are race churches. Other things they hold in common with us. They are now facing a condition that must be settled by the American white and the American black membership. These respective memberships must settle this question, remembering that the white rich and poor of might, or the white middle-class could fit it in a very short time. In the church there is a conscience with which race problems must reckon. Let us discuss the question the light of these two opposing forces. What will we, the black membership do at this critical period? We can speak only in the light of the past, not only in the past, judice and for satisfaction of conscience as we have done in the past, will do more than any other body of Negro Methodist have done or are willing to us and among us. Methodisms all around us and among us are very long time ago they ran away under the lash of race prejudice. Since then they have censured us for not to wear for Christ sake we hear their criticism and models of His forbearance, to being agents of race prejudice. We propose to do as we have done. If our white one-third membership will meet only one-third prejudice of death blow in a great church, in the greatest Methodism. We know that this proposed amendment is an outgrowth of American prejudice, and that we must pass it as a compromise for justice rather than to have nothing, rather than to remain as we are, rather than he without the desired Episcopacy. We know that this proposed development of our race talent and for REF EPISCOPACY for our race work. Owing to our artificial, trained environment no white EPISCOPAC can be brought. Episcopacy for our black workmen and not used MORE EPISCOPAC, and we can only MORE EPISCOPAC we can have is a BLACK EPISCOPAC. The only black preacher in the church during the war would be an ex-colored man or one that is disruntured because of being "a milder" in all his charges. Washington, D. G., March 18.—The death of James T. Bradford, which recently occurred in Philadelphia, had a peculiar interest for the people of Washington, where Mr. Bradford and his family had spent many of the best years of their life. Although his children were all born in Baltimore, they searched men's estate in this city. Certainly there can be no period of life more interesting to a family than the one in which the children pass from youth to manhood and womanhood. Therefore it may be truthfully said that the most important years of the Bradford family were spent here in Washington. For many years Mr. Bradford had the unique distinction of occupying the handshest and most costly home of any colored family in this city. The house was situated in the most harsh and cold town and he been built by Mr. Bradford and elegantly furnished in accordance with the ideas of himself and his charming wife. Here were given frequently the most delightful receptions and dinners, attended by the foremost people in the country. Mr. Bradford thoroughly enjoyed being host on these occasions. No man over dispensed hospitality more graciously and more beautifully than he did. He had a genius for this kind of a thing, and his functions passed off so easily, and with such unconscious joy we were able to unconscious of any effort at all on the part of their host. Ardge from his prominence in society, Mr. Bradford was a very superior man of affairs. He was well to do in this world's goods—a wealthy colored man, indeed. He owned splendid property, and he had a large home. And he himself had accumulated his money in a business which he established and developed until it became the foremost green grocery in the Monumental City. His customers were among the wealthy people of the city. He splendid example the life of such a man is to the youth of his race! It emphasises the possibilities for a colored man in business in the highest possible degree, for Mr. Bradford started life without a penny and with no inheritance except industry. He chose to take the chance to attention to business and his sight in the possibilities of investments brought him the chance to rear and educate a large family of children and then to retire from business with a competence. Mr. Bradford was a prominent member of the Episcopal Church, in which he held office for many years and to which he devoted much of his time. He was one of the founders of the famous "Diamond Back Club" of Washington, an exclusive social organization associated with him in this club were Wyatt Archer, Major C. A. Fleetwood, Dr. John R. Francis, William E. Matthews, Whitfield McKinley, Goriel Mathws, H. Hymesba, Goriel F. B. Pinchback, Judy Rohen Torell and Howard H. Williams, all of whom are now living except three. While here in Washington Mr. Bradford's family consisted of his wife, eighty-six daughters, a granddaughter and four sons of whom now reside in Philadelphia. NOTES OF RACIAL PROGRESS. As Furnished by the National Negro Business League. A new Negro undertaking firm has been chartered at Los Angeles, Cal. Its name is Smith-Williams & Co. Several leading Negroes of South Bend, Ind., have formed a stock company to start a grocery. The company is capitalized at $1,000. The Atlanta Mutual Life Insurance Company is reporting a surplus of $25,096.54, with $13,000 bonds and an annual income of $200,000. Carpenter County, Kan., is a large and prosperous Negro known as Kinkaiders. The colonists engage in farming and stock raising. The People's Savings Bank and Trust Company of Nashville, Penn., has increased of $21,000 in resources for the next year and $6,000 increase in capital stock. The Eldarodo Gold Star Mining Co. of Los Angeles, Cal., has raised $4,500 of the $7,000 necessary to install a bank account. The company is a Negro concern selling its stock to nomi- but Negroes. The board of commissioners of the Knights of Pythias has authorized Sydney Pittman, the Nexro architect who designed the Jamestown Nexro building, to draw plans for a $150,000 fund to build the Pittman Nexro. A number of the prominent Nexroes of Arkansas assembled at Pine Bluff a short time ago and organized an old line legal service life insurance company. The capital stock of the company is $250,000. At this first meeting $5,200 was subscribed of which $2.25 was paid in cash, security being given in balance. The board of directors is made up of the leading business and professional men throughout the State. --- ADVANCE OF THE COLORED MAN. The new year finds no American citizen whose advance can fairly be called more sound and sure in substance than before. The progress has become so hardened that it has become so difficult to all sections. And its record is written nowhere, more clearly than in the returns of the United States census. This is not in totals of citizens, but of homes, property, business, interests, and labor in the hands of people of this race. It has come about with certainty soon as the colored man was led to give up the idea that alone through political prominence could he rise to the Washington position in an article of the accomplishments of his people since the end of the war. They have been learning to distinguish between the more shadow of civilization and the progress and interests of civilization and progress. In securing education, in growth in the possession of property, and in moral and religious directions, as well as in establishing rational relations between the two races, many people have made certain—Felix To Rooker Washington belongs the honor of having given the colored face the inspiration of the idea on which they have made this long stride despite the unweariness of patience to teach it and the courage to face the abuse and assault which his efforts met from easy-going idiots and political adventure of the outcome is a fine demonstration of a leader - Washington (D.

(BY MAY MARTEL) Perhaps you have already fallen victim to the spring fever, and are likewise cross and irritable without just knowing what is the matter with you other than you are disagreeable to yourself and to everybody else. If you have these symptoms, seek the cause. There is a cause, for few of us want to be disagreeable just for the sake of being. Don't begin the search, howby blaming others. True, the children may have been bad, and your mea folk thoughtless, but that is really no excuse for a sensible woman getting into a state when she would like to tear things and scold everybody around her. If you are fair-minded enough to know that you alone are to blame for your bad temper, you have started to feel pressured to resist your disposition has nothing to do with the case; with most women crossness is purely a physical condition. It is not natural for a person who is absolutely well to feel cross or take a distorted vision of life. Perhaps you are not conscious of your own condition, fitted in a run-down condition, and so have lost grip on your nerves—consequently your temper. . Excessive fatigue is responsible for many a sharp answer and cross look. When the strength has been overtaxed it is the exceptional woman who can stand the irritating things of everyday life without giving vent to her feelings. Since few of us really like to be cross, much preferring to keep on pleasant terms with our family, it is necessary for every woman to see that she does not overdo it. Rest if she ever want me a viewpoint, but it is none the less a true one. Do not let yourself get dead tired. Stop before the point of exhaustion is reached. What if something goes undone? Better than than to become a fretful scold and lose your influence with those closest and dearest to you. Besides, there is nothing quite so detrimental to a woman's looks as fatigue. It makes her appear years older than she really is. The next time you feel inclined to snap up somebody, shut your lips tightly and go to your room and lie down for Mrs. Terrell Converted White Students. Social to The New York Acr. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 17.—Mrs. Mary Church Terrell recently, on invitation, addressed the students of Wellesley College on the subject of "Opportunities for Colored Girls." In her address she pleaded for equal opportunities for the young women of her race, and recited the handicap under which they labor, the hurtful lack of opportunity confronting them in every line of work. As showing how much her address was appreciated, and the interest it awakened among the young women of Wellesley College, Mrs. Terrell is in receipt of the following letter from Mary Eliza Clark, president of the Christian Association of Wellesley College: Dear Mrs. Terrell: I was sorry not to be able to see you during the visit to Wellesley for then I should have told you in person what I want to tell you in letter. I want to speak for the girls of Wellesley. I think you should tell me of the faculty. I am anxious for you to know how greatly the girls appreciate your coming such a distance to speak to us. The interest you have in the faculty and the fact that quite a number of girls who do not regularly attend the Christian Association meetings night. As to your presentation of the subject, its effect can be judged by the fact that your talk has been discussed very widely among the type in college. I don't know when a speaker has aroused so much interest and changed so many ideas in so short time. I should have had an idea of the problems or the means used to solve them; others were prejudiced merely because of hearay. ductant to go to the meeting, but after it was over, she had not a word of criticism to offer. I want you to feel that your visit here is important. It is important that Wellesley people of broad minds and widest sympathies feel a distinct debt of gratitude to you for the strong presentation of your subject. I hope that you will not for moment feel that this is empty praise. It is empty to know many girls of different points of view, and it is only after hearing wide discussion that I say this to you. I trust that some there will be another opportunity to learn about and meanwhile feel that this visit was vastly worth while, and accept our hearty wishes for your work.

Has Department of Hygiene and Health. Downingtown, Pa., March 18.-Downington Industrial and Agricultural School, at Downington, Pa., is one of the first Negro institutions to organize a Department of Hygiene and Health. This department has for its object the instruction of the students and teachers as well, in mercado' of taking care of the body and the prevention of disease, by showing how early to recognize merbid conditions, and how to live properly from a hygienic standpoint. The department was organized last fall for the purpose of the William A. Creditt, DD, LLD, president of the institution; by Dr. Henry M. Minton, physician to the Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia. The course consists first of lectures on the physical deficiencies of the students, thereby prescribing any necessary treatment, and found necessary for their welfare. These are followed by lectures on the following subjects by the following prominent surgeons and physicians of Philadelphia and the rest of the United States: Dr. J. Jr.; "Physiology," Dr. Robert W. Henry; "Contagious Disease," Dr. T. Spotus Burwell; "Bandaging and Personal Cleanliness," Dr. Thomas G. Counter; "Preventive Medicine," Dr. John A.

It is expected that their influence will extend not only to the students themselves, but to their homes and the localities in which they may be seen. It is hoped they will leave the school. Hence their good may reach thousands of our people. SMYRNA DEL Smyrna, Del. March 18.—Alexander Butcher dived at his home on Lincoln street. Wednesday evening and was hurled from St. Paul U. A. M. E.

Richmond, Va., March 18.—The interest of the white people in the social conditions among the colored people of cities in Virginia, especially in Richmond and Norfolk, is large. In Richmond several movements are on foot to meet the requirements of the situation. The Richmond Neighborhood Club, the Richmond Brown Neighborhood Club, composed of representatives of colored churches of all denominations and many secular organizations, has secured the co-operation of the Associated Churches of the city and, in the meantime, distributed in diocesan loans and relief $600 which was appropriated by -this organization. Robert Lecky, president of the Associated Churches, is chairman of a committee which is co-operating with the Neighborhood Club in laying plans for a branch organization which will have its building in the colored neighborhood. These activities working among colored people it is also to have attached a detention house for juvenile delinquents. The new juvenile court of the city has applied to the City Council for an extra position to support a colored protection officer. The housing committee, composed of white and colored people, with Mr. T. Mastin, secretary, has been organized for the purpose of improving the housing conditions, with by securing legislation governing the condominium houses and by regulating the social evil. The State Board of Charities and Correction, with Dr. J. T. Mastin, secretary, is co-operating with the Mich. State Board of Correction to establish in all cities of the state organizations to work among the colored people. It expects to use the work of the state as a model for work in other cities. The Virginia State Board of Health, through Dr. D. S. Freeman, director of publicity, has recently received a large number of applications devoted to the instruction of the Negroes of the state in the prevention of disease. The Virginia State Conference of Charities and Correction has appointed on its executive board three colored people, the Rev. Wm. H. Stokes, of Richmond; Lawyer P. C. Walker, Gloucester; and Mrs. Marilyn F. Federation of Women's Clubs. E. K.

Examples and instructions, 10 cts. MARY K. BOWMAN, NORTH 300 WASHINGTON AVENUE, CHICAGO, MN --- (BY LESTER A. WALTON.) ONLY one day was necessary to convince the owners of the Lafayette Theatre that it is the attraction which operates as a magnet and causes the Harlem theatregoers to rush pell-mell in large numbers to the Seventh avenue house, willing separating themselves from the "fifthy lucre." Monday marked the first appearance of the Negro Players at the Lafayette Theatre, and Monday the house made a record for box office receipts. Both afternoon and evening the Lafayette did a "rushing business." The motto of the up-to-date showman is: "Give the public the attraction and the inevitable result will be large crowds at every performance." And this is the correct "dupe," with apologies for the use of slang. It would be a capital idea if some of our colored managers would adopt this motto. Many of them do not seem to understand that the bigger the attraction the bigger the audience. Another bit of theatrical philosophy which some have not learned in that, in order to get big attractions you must spend money. You can't book a single turn for $20 and expect to pack your house to suffocation. "The Traitor" is the title of the musical offering being presented by the Negro Players. Alex Rogers and Henry S. Creamer are responsible for the dialogue and Will Marion Cook has looked after the musical end. The piece is given in two parts. The first scene suggests the atmosphere of the plantation, while the second scene depicts the performers in their Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes, all dressed up. Abbie Mitchell shines brightest in "The Traitor," shedding more brilliancy than the rest by reason of her vocal efforts. This little artiste had two songs—"Lovers' Lane" and "After All This I've Been To You," both of which she renders as only a singer of accomplishment can. Her number, "Lovers' Lane," one of Will Marion Cook's old songs, is charmingly staged. "Billy Harper is the principal languish provocator and what he does he does well. "Boots" Allen and Chris Smith assist in making merry, and their efforts in comedy get good results. Grace Lee Cook, who made such a hit a few months ago singing a ragtime number at an amateur performance that she concluded to go on the stage, is in the cast, and aside from appearing natural while doing her lines sings a song. That Miss Cook is yet a diamond in the rough is evident, but she gives promise of developing into quite an entertaining artist. There is one thing Miss Cook will have to learn, however, and that is—to dance. Nowadays a soubret cannot have a dancing chorus behind her, while she only walks to and fro, even if she does that gracefully. There, are some very bright lines in "The Traitor," and the members of the cast do not lose an opportunity in getting them over the footlights. And the cast is not the "whole show," for the chorus, while small, works industriously and sings lustily and harmoniously. One or two of the girls in the chorus could participate in a beauty contest without any hesitancy. In costuming the piece more attention could have been paid to minor details. There is no excuse for some of the chorus girls wearing plain gingham dresses in a number while others flit about in ruffles galore. Neither should some of the girls sport silk hosiery, while others adorn their limbs with cotton stockings. All the misses should either display cotton goods or silk. Of course, the universal preference is silk; but whatever it is there should be some uniformity. Usually, a dramatic writer shows great aptitude when it comes to criticising but it is seldom that he makes any valuable suggestions relative to how things can be remedied. Perhaps it is because he is paid to criticise, not make suggestions, and maybe it would be a difficult matter to give wholesome advice, even if asked. Being deeply interested in the success of the Negro Players at the Lafayette Theatre I am going to take the liberty of making a suggestion' or two. They may be valuable, then they may not "The Traitor" is being produced in two parts, with acts and motion pictures between Part I. and Part II. This arrangement should be changed. Monday evening I was one of many who arrived at the Lafayette Theatre about 8:30 o'clock. I had not been seated very long before the second part of "The Traitor" was given. As I had not seen Part I, I had to wait until 10 o'clock to get the thread of the story to the piece, a sort of a cart before the horse arrangement. The management will find it more to the liking of the patrons if the Negro Players are permitted to put on a forty-minute sketch at each show. A vaudeville audience is very transitory. There are many who will pay a visit to the Lafayette Theatre to see the Negro Players only. They will not care to see one part and then be compelled to wait an hour or more before the rest of the piece is presented. So my adjoins in do away with the two-part play- leta. Furthermore, they do not care for too much plot and talk now-a-days. Plenty of snappy musical numbers and funny situations please most. Monday evening I heard an argument at the Lafayette Theatre in which the statement was made that the critics should not be too critical, as it should be remembered that the Negro Players were playing at a 10-20-30 vaudeville house; that the Lafayette was not a Boardway theatre. To my mind the class of entertainment should not be determined so much by the character of the theatre as the ability and standing of the performers David Warfield's dramatic work would be as powerful and effective in a five-cent motion picture house, with the proper scenery and other accessories, as at the Belasco Theatre. With Will Marion Cook, the leading musician of the race, and Chris Smith, one of the most prolific hit writers of to-day, with Messrs. Rogers and Creamer writing the book, Abbie Mitchell doing the most ambitious vocal work and Billy Harper assuming the leading comedy role, it is natural that the public should expect much from the Negro Players. I must confess that I expect big things of the stock company at the Lafayette—if it remains intact and does not break up before the week is up over trivial matters. Already the Negro Players have a nucleus for a winning combination, and within the next three weeks should be packing them in nightly with their very entertaining performances. The possibilities are there. WHERE THE SHOWS ARE. DR. BEANS FROM BOSTON CO.—Grand Opera House, Philadelphia. Next week. Jersey City, N. J. BLACK PATTI CO.—St. Louis, Mo. Next week. Chicago, Ill.

Criswell and Bailey, Charlie (Chicken) Jones, Easton and Easton, Hester Kenten and Tim and Hester Moore are at the Auditorium Theatre, Philadelphia.

Hart and Johnson have prolonged their trip abroad. Last week they signed a contract to appear in the ragtime review which will be put on at the London Opera House within a few weeks. Charlie Hart will have the principal comedy role. The act met with success over the Moss Empire Circuit. The Lyric Theatre opened at Miami, Fla., March 4, with a big bill. Mme. Kathryn Berry scored a big success in her operatic numbers, and Aunce' St. Clair and Miss Trixie went ```markdown ``` big in their songs. C. H.

Connected with the new theatre are C. C. Maultsby, house manager; H. W. Pschal, pianist; James Lewis, drummers; S. Walker, proprietor and manager. FRANKLIN THEATRE. Benjamin Hutchinson, a tenor singer, gave the cleanest-cut performance at the Franklin Theatre the first half of the week, although his work was not appreciated by many of the Franklin Theatre patrons. Mr. Hutchinson showed versatility by singing " bleeding Moon," ragtime numbers and ballads. His ragtime songs went best. This young man has a sweet, sympathetic voice, and his work shows improvement over a year ago. Some of the stock companies in Harlem should use him as a soloist. The Grand Army Four continue to sing and dance in an exhilarating manner and Agnes Collins made good in songs. Manager Ostreicher says he has a number of agreeable surprises in store for his patrons. CRESCENT TO HAVE STOCK Harlem is to have more stock companies. J. Leubrie Hill announces that commencing next Monday two stock companies will be on the big double bill. The Crescent Stock Company will be headed by Hunter and Chappelle, old favorites, assisted by fifteen well-known artists. The company will present what is described as "a sensational playlet," entitled "The Battle of Who Run." The other stock company, known as the Crescent Players, will be headed by Emmett Anthony, who will be assisted by ten well-known artists. The Crescent Players will appear in a humorous sketch entitled "Twenty Minutes in Hell." The two stock companies will appear in conjunction with the regular vaudeville turns and two and three reel motion pictures. Gillam and Williams and Company, a mixed quartet, features the bill the first half of the week, winning favor with their singing and dancing. Allie Gillam has always been a comedian with a style of his own. While Williams is another comedian above the average. Miss Gillam is singing as sweetly as she did three or more years ago. Emmet Anthony is a droll comedian who is very entertaining in a single turn. Howard and Mason returned to the Crescent after an absence of several months. They have eliminated the objectionable features, which makes the act much stronger. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Howard Lovesate Monticello. On neutral ground, but before a large audience which partisanship railed the Howard University, D. C., and the Monticello basketball team of Pittsburgh met at Manhattan Casino Thursday evening to determine the question of supremacy. Howard won by the score of 33 to 17. Monticello was quite a disappointment to its admirers, and the general opinion prevailed that the boys from Pittsburgh did not put up their usual snappy game. Howard won by its great team work, outplaying Monticello in every department of the game. Pittsburgh appeared to be bothered by the interference of Sykes and Gilmore, two players of the Singer buildin order, who towered above their opponents. Oliver played his brilliant, consistent game, and Lewis and Gray aided materially in the scoring. Thursday evening Monticello showed up as a one man's team. The burden of the work was put up to "Cum" Posey, who is the strongest individual colored basketball player in the game to-day. But it takes more than one man, no matter how sensational his work, to win in a contest. Posey's team-mates did not show the dash and aggressiveness which characterized their playing in this city some months ago. With the exception of "Cum" Posey, they seemed "up in the air." Monticello got off in front in the first half, making the first basket. However, it was not long before Howard came from behind and took a commanding lead which the Pittsburgh players were never able to overcome. In their eagerness to win both sides made fouls repeatedly, and the lynxeyed referee, George Zinovoy, penalized Howard and Monticello often. The preliminary game was played between St. Christopher and Laetitia, St. Christopher winning, 35 to 22. A short time ago Laetitia defeated St. Christopher in Brooklyn.

Bowling Contest Grows Interesting. The bowling contest for the championship of Greater New York "five-man team" grows more interesting as the games progress. The Alpha team has rounded into form and the Williamsbridge team, the Speedwell Club, has not lost a game on the home alleys, while the Avons are still leading, although by a smaller margin than the previous week, as the Speedwell Club took both games from them last Friday evening on the Speedwell alleys. The Alpha Club defeated the Speedwell Club Wednesday evening both games on the Alpha alleys, making it possible for either club to beat the Avons and take the lead from them or else the Avons to increase their small lead a few points more.

Kramer, the indoor two-mile champion, won the handicap at that distance in time announced as 9 minutes 18 seconds. It was said after the race, however, that Kramer ran a lap short of the required distance. Rust University Schedule. Rust University opens its baseball season with M. I. College, March 21, on the M.

The tournament for the championship of Jersey City among the players of continuous pool or pocket billiard opened at Miller's Cafe, 76 Kearney avenue, Monday night. A goodly crowd was in attendance and witnessed the playing. No very high runs were made, but the games were close contested. Three strings of fifty points each were played Monday night, resulting as follows: James Weathers, 50; Joe Rendall, 37. George Bowie, 50; E. Kirkland, 41. John Payne, 40; Henry Hart: 39. On Tuesday night two strings were played, and the playing was much better and the games even more hotly contested. These games were one hundred points each, Weathers and Rendall were matched again, and at the close of the first fifty points Rendall had fifty while Weathers only had fifteen, but in the next fifty points Weathers made up a lot of ground, Rendall winning by only two points, 100 to 98. The other game was between Julius Campbell and Charles Saunders, Saunders winning by 100 to 96. The tournament continues through the week with a special match Friday night between Charles Saunders and Herbert Jackson of one hundred points for a special prize. Everything Ready for Big Meet. The Smart Set Athletic Carnival on March 20 at the 47th Regiment Armory, Brooklyn, promises to be in a class by itself. The program has been condensed to exhibit nothing but the best in up-to-the-hour athletics. Among the classic events prepared for the evening will be the much advertised "J. B. Taylor Memorial Quarter," in which the following sterling performers have entered: Donnell B. Young of the Boston A. A. A., the winner of the 400-meter race at the Olympic games in 1908, and present intercollegiate record holder with the late J. B. Taylor for the quarter-mile run. Irving T. Howe of the Boston-English High School (the second J. R. Taylor), credited with going the distance in 49 1.5 seconds, at which time he was just nosed out by the adrenaline-mounted champion, D. B. Young, in the tryouts for the last Olympic team; "Ted" Meredith, now a student of the University of Pennsylvania, and the present half-mile world's record holder, and sensational winner at the recent Olympic games held in Sweden: A. Pepis of the Irish-American Athletic Club, last year's Metropolitan champion in both the junior and senior quarter-mile runs. Another feature of great interest will be the 75-yard special scratch race, in which Howard P. Drew, of Springfield the world's champion sprinter, will meet the best short-distance runners in the Metropolitan district, and Harry Martin, the colored athlete formerly representing Woodward High School, Cincinnati, at which time he made the exceptional record time of 10 seconds flat for the 100 yards on a board floor.

It was not, however, until the last speaker, Benjamin Clarke Marsh, executive secretary of the Congregation Committee, was introduced, that the large audience, which had assembled to hear this important question discussed over any light subject, be fitted to lance it and mode of the proposed attack on high rent.
