REFUSE NEGROES; HUNDREDS LEAVE Luncheon Stopped at Hotel La Salle When Manager Draws Color Line WHITE MEMBERS LOYAL Club Women of Chicago and Neighboring Towns Go on Rec cord Against Discrimination Civil Rights Laws of Chicago Provide Against Discrimination of Negroes in Public Places. Special to THE NEW YORK ADN. CHICAGO, Ill. April 1—Two hundred club and society women of Chicago and nearby towns were turned out of the Hotel La Salle Saturday when the hotel management refused to seat Negro delegates with the white guests in the grand ballroom at the annual meeting and honeymoon of the League of Cook County Club. There is some talk of bringing suit for damages against the hotel people, as the civil rights laws in Chicago provide against discrimination in public places on account of race or color. Manager Ernest j. Stevens of the hotel drew the color line. His ultimatum was: No Negroes or no lunchroom in the Hotel La Salle. The women protested with vigor, but he was obdurate. Finally, after considerable confusion, Mrs. Chas. H Betts entertained a motion that the body stand by the Negro delegates and leave the hotel. The motion passed without a dissenting vote. The luncheon was announced "indefinitely postponed" and the women disbanded the meeting. Many expressed indignation at their treatment at the hotel manager's hands. Manager Stevens says that it should have been known that the La Salle had an ironclad tie against Negro guests. Lieut.-Gov. O'Hara Present. Lieut. Gov. Barratt O'Hara was among those who came to the hotel Mr. O'Hara was to address the women on the aims of the Lifetime vice commission. Ida Weiss Barment.

When it was first explained to Mr. Stevens that there would be several colored women among the delegates we were told that the La Salie did not entertain Negroes. We pretested that last year when the league met at the Hjellet Sieermann no objection was made and Mr. Stevens consented to their presence. Then, at the last minute, he positively refused to give the Negro women seats. They are regularly accredited members of the league and we feel it is duty to stand by them and resent such treatment. There was not a woman in the league who did not invite the motion to leave the hotel. Meeting Indefinitely Postponed. The meeting has been indemnitably protected. Those who bought tickets have their money refunded to them. Arrangements for another meeting will be made. I do not think the league interference any attempt to expel Negro members.

SOCIETY WOMAN SUICIDES Had Married Negro Butler Fifteen Days After Getting Divorce Decease From Wealthy Husband—Relatives Would Not Let Her See Colored Husband. St. Louis, Mo., April 1.—Obtaining a divorce from her husband, Chas. B. Gerhart, worth $300,000, who lived at 4494 Forest Park Boulevard, fifteen days later marrying L. W. Kellogg, a Negro who had been employed by the Gerharts as butler. Mrs. Julia McFarlane Gerhart Kellogg died to-day at the home of her friend, Mrs. Adeline Cox, 4255 Westminster place, as a result of poison taken last Saturday with suicidal intent following a long spell of brooding and whiskey drinking. It is said that Mrs. Gerhart-Kellogg was a niece of the late Chief Justice George B. McFarlane of the Supreme Court of Missouri, and a near relative of Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the Speaker of the National House of Representatives. She is a sister-in-law of Frank Gerhart, the wealthy Progressive nominee for mayor of St. Louis in to-day's election. Mrs. Cox is reported as saying that Mrs. Gerhart-Kellogg came to her home February 17 from St. Paul. Kellogg called several times and his wife told Mrs. Cox that he was her butler and called on business. Mrs. Cox objected and about a month ago refused Kellogg admittance. He produced a marriage certificate and claimed the woman as his wife. Mrs. Cox went with him to the woman's room and asked her if the Negro was her husband. Instead of replying she walked over to Kellogg and kissed him. After that Mrs. Cox excluded him from the house. Since then Kellogg has visited the Cox home several times and demanded that he be permitted to see his wife, but was refused. He called last Monday his last previous visit being about three weeks ago. Mrs Gerhardt-Kellogg returned to the Cox home one afternoon after a shopping tour and told Mrs. Cox that she had met Kellogg on the street. She spent most of her time after that locked in her room, according to Mrs. Cox, drinking whiskey. She offered as much as thirty-four pints of whiskey in a week. Mrs Gerhardt-Kellogg was a beautiful woman and was noted for her beauty in society and to outdoor sports particularly. She was especially fond of horseback riding, fishing and hunting. For several years consecutively she was always the first woman to apply for a hunter's horse at the beginning of the season. Immediately after training her tree she went it a little far in the Orkies where she and her former husband had often taken their outings, and it is supposed that it was while there that she married Kellogg WALTER H. PAGE TO GO TO ENGLAND New Ambassador Editor of World's Work and Friend of Negro-Connected with Organizations Favoring Negro Education The appointment of Walter H. Page, editor of the World's Work, as ambassador to Great Britain by President Wilson is extremely gratifying to the Negroes of the whole country. Mr. Page will accept and expects to leave for London, soon after the confirmation of his appointment by the Senate. He is a member of the firm of Doubleday, Page & Co. publishers at Garden City, I. L. and has long been identified with interests pertaining to the educational benefit of the Negro of the South. He is at present a member of the General Education Board. Though born in the South his views have broadened and politically he has outgrown the Reconstruction prejudices which many Southerners still harbours. He is courageous enough to say that if he had his way the same tests of fitness for suffrage would apply in the South to whites and Blacks alike. He is a vigorous speaker and more than once his utterances have aroused ill feeling among the people of his native State. It is said that a speech delivered by him in the educational conditions in North Carolina brought forth severe criticism from Josephus Daniels, present Secretary of the Navy, himself a native North Carolinian. Mr. Page is not a wealthy man and will make no attempt to keep up the lavish display made by his predecessors. His embassy will be modest but dignified. The Age Produces Records of the Court.

I make no reference to such a thing as I am not now not have gone looking for that or any other to see of women being abally married. And this I have never kept from you. Therefore in your fullness of congenience should, not just asperse me. You may also agree. I did force any attention on you.

When you phoned or written me to call I did so if I could and whatever transpired was by mutual consent wasn't it. Had I a happy home I might have acted differently. Neither of us cared to throw ourselves away. It was not expedient then, it isn't necessary now. Being a poor runner, I do not expect to make any hasty retreat but stand boldly upon the merits of the case and I beech you to be courageous and womanly.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 2—According to the latest report of the Bureau of Industrial Statistics for the State of Pennsylvania, the number of Negroes owning property in Philadelphia is 1,000 with an assessed valuation of $2,001,225. The market value of these holdings is at $375,000. Concern is to Write Insurance on Lives of Negroes Exclusively - Home Office at Atlanta. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. ATLANTA, Ga., April 1.—The licensing of the Standard Life Insurance Company as a full legal reserve life insurance company with all the requirements complied with and $100,000 in registered municipal bonds deposited with the State Treasurer, its financial statement duly certified by a public accountant and approved by Insurance Commissioner William A. Wright, gives this city added distinction as an insurance center. Also it is the home of the first old line, legal reserve life insurance company ever organized with $100,000 full paid capital stock to write insurance on the lives of colored risks exclusively. The undertaking was begun several years ago, and its successful culmination is a splendid tribute to the colored men who have brought the matter to a successful close. It is the purpose of the Standard Life to do an ordinary business at present, later taking on what is known in insurance parlance as industrial business. It is the company's purpose to enter all of the Southern States as rapidly as will be consistent with good business judgment and as plans can be perfected to this end. All of the officers and directors are Near es, and included in the directorate and among the stockholders are some of the most prominent and really successful men of the Nexto race in several Southern States. The stock is well scattered. The rates and policy forms to be used by the Standard Life are now being prepared by George Drey Eldridge, an eminent New York actuary, who will also install the accounting and record system, which will be complete and up to date in its every detail. H. E. Perry, president of the company, says that over $400,000 in applications are now waiting to be pawned upon and that in all probability more than half a million dollars in life insurance will be issued and placed on the books the first day the company begins actual business.

Chilton, owner of a Savannah cotton factory states that he has achieved success in his effort to train Negro women as factory operatives. Commenting on this experiment, the Savannah Negro says, "The impression has prevailed that Negroes are unfit for factory operatives. This impression is based largely on the fact that several factories built in other parts of the South to be operated with Negro operatives failed. The fact that Negroes are unfit for working in setting the Negroes to comply with null regulations to be on hand at a fixed hour for beginning work and to work continuously six days in the week." If Negroes can be made efficient as cotton mill operatives the cotton mill industry in the South ought to become greater. PRICE MEMBER CENTRE IN Greater New York FIVE CENTS everywhere else in B. A. PATRONIZE HARLEM BANK Negroes Business and Professional Men Do a Business of $180,000 Monthly With Chelsea Exchange Bank, Located at 135th Street and Lenox Avenue. Negroes in Harlem are benefited by the location in that neighborhood of the Harlem branch of the Chelsea Exchange Bank, 135th street and Seventh avenue, with Charles G. Happ as manager. Quite a number of the leading Negro business men of that section are customers of this bank, and the ample facilities of the institution are always courteously and freely placed at their disposal by the capable manager. A representative of THE ACE, in investigating conditions in Harlem, had occasion to interview a number of the Negroes in business as to the attitude of the officials of the bank toward, and their treatment of, the Negro depositors, and the consensus of opinion was that they could ask for no better or more courteous treatment. And this treatment, they say, is accorded the small depositor as freely and sincerely as to the depositor of large amounts. The parent bank is located at 266 West 34th street, and two branches are maintained—one on Broadway at 97th street, and the Harlem branch. The last-named branch was opened in May, 1912, and its volume of business has constantly increased. Mr. Rapp has a capable corps of assistants, and located as it is in a section of the city largely populated by Negroes, it is agreeable to find that the atmosphere of the institution as regards its Negro patrons is not one of tokenization, but of cordial and sincere appreciation. Running over the list of Negroes who are customers of this bank is like calling the roll of "Who's Who" in the business and professional ranks of our people in Harlem. The Negro depositors do a business of from $5,000 to $100,000 monthly. Officers of the parent bank on 34th street are: A. E. Stilger, president; John N. Willys, Frank Williams and G. B. Williams, vice-presidents. The Harlem branch staff is headed by Mr. Rapp as manager, and he has as assistants W. H. Sewell, paying teller; E. H. Daly, receiving teller; Irving McIntyre, bookkeeper, and James Alexander, bank messenger. Mr. Alexander is a young colored man brought to the bank by Mr. Rapp, and he enjoys the utmost confidence and respect of all the attaches. He attends to all outside collections. Mr. Rapp in speaking of him said he had rather have Alexander than a dozen white boys because of his ability and intelligence. The advisory board consists of L. T. Bernholt, Max Bernstein, E. J. Dowling, George W. Grote, D. Heinneke, C. A. Kelsch, J. H. Kirkman, J. H. Loos, S. C. Powell and L. H. Scully. REFUSE TO CONVICT. Special to The New York Age Asheville N.C. April 1, 1872. After leaving for state consecutive hours the day in the case of the State against John Huff, a Negro charged with the murder of Patterson M. Campbell in July 1871 has been unable to reach settlement in John Huff's case. Huff is in the county jail where there is unrestricted another John Huff also Wise. He was a Negro who was arrested and was tried for the killing of M. Campbell. The jury in that case is acquitted and the lawyer was returned to jail where he has spent eight months. It is authoritatively stated that date's trial started 5 and 4 for acquittal which was taken in the afternoon. A report in current that the district attorney will ask for a felon in custody and that the two John Huffs will continually be liberated. Negro Town Has Bank With $75,804.44 in Deposits— Town Has Twenty-five Grocery Stores and Water Works Worth 35,000 Burry, Okla., April 1. The latest census from Bowie, one of several Negro towns of this State, gives a population of 4,000 a bank with a capital and surplus of $75,000 and deposits of $75,804.44, twelve nine grocery stores, five hotels, seven restaurants, water works worth $15,000, electric plant worth $20,000, four restaurants with cellar and range from $5,000 to $15,000 in value, one sitting work, one steam laundry, two newspapers, two ice cream parlor, two hardware stores, one jewelry store, four department stores a $40,000 Masonic Temple tax colleges, one high school, one graded school, two city school buildings, one telephone exchange costing $100,000 school children, ten teachers, six churches, two library stables, two intricate accents, one second-hand store, two tracking establishments, one lumber yard, two photographers, one bakery, and one of the best city parks in the State. NEGROES LOSE HEAVILY. Omaha, Neb. April 1—Says the Omaha tribe, the people of Omaha are heavy sufferers from the tornado. Many of them lost homes into which they had lost their lifetime savings, and many lost their lives. Yet in the midst of distress and sorrow, they are "bearing their burdens just as heroically as any and lending help wherever possible." Has Largest Circulation INTELLIGENT AND CULTURED But Occupations Do Not Compare With Intellect, Says Washington PLANNING TO ORGANIZE Negroes in Northwest are Preparing to Take Advantage of Business Opportunities Offered WHILEEN SPEAKS in Highest Term of Members of 25th Infantry - Japanese Em. played in Most of the Hotels. (BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.) NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., March 24.—In my letter from Helena I discussed conditions as I had found them up to that point. I think it well for me to add this additional word as to what I found in Butte and Helena. In both of these cities one will meet some individuals who are as wideawake and progressive as can be found anywhere in the country. In Helena especially one finds evidences of intelligence and culture among the colored people that is surprising. Their occupations, however, in most cases do not, as I have said, compare with their intelligence, but the leaders have on foot a plan to organize the people in each community throughout the State in a way that will call their attention to the business opportunities that are before the race. In both Butte and Helena, as well as at one or two other points, they have already organized Negro business leagues and are planning to have the State of Montana represented at the National League meeting to be held in Philadelphia, August 20, 21 and 22, 1913. As one travels still further in the direction of the Pacific Coast, conditions among our people change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but on the whole for the better. I spent three pretty busy days in Spokane and spoke nine times to various kinds of audiences. One piece of information which was given me by both white and colored people, especially by whites in Spokane, interested me very much and that was that the 25th Infantry, a Negro regiment of the United States Army, made a better record when in camp at Fort Wright near Spokane than any soldiers that have ever camped there. One of the members of the Chamber of Commerce told me that the citizens of Spokane were practically unanimous in their regret that the colored soldiers were replaced by white ones. The members of the 25th Infantry made an exceptional record for fine and orderly conduct. It was very noticeable in Spokane that the reputation which these soldiers made had gone a long way toward giving the white people a higher regard for the colored people in that vicinity. White Club Women Recognize Women. There was another occurrence at Spokane which interested me, and that was it, and that when the Federation of Women's Clubs of that city tendered me a reception at which I spoke to them, that the colored club was invited, and I was told that it is a usual thing for the control club to be recognized in this way. As one goes further West he meets at increasing number of persons of our race who have taken up homesteads, or who are buying land and are succeeding in cultivating the soil. These almost without exception are doing well. One finds in a city like Peking a few colored people who are succeeding in the professions and in business, and these men are well thought of. The principal drawback, however, to the people in the city grows out of the fact that they are barred as I stated in my farmer communication, from the trades. As yet I have 10 wind no place where the trades unions give the colored man any chance at the trades. It seems to be pretty well understood in this part of the world that a colored laborer must be either a porter, a messenger, or something of that kind. About forty miles from North Yakima there is a colony of colored people who have bought land and who are doing well as farmers. One colored lady sold me that the raiser last year over a hundred turkeys in her ranch. Notwithstanding these farmers are succeeding from an economic point of view, I can easily discover in talking to them that they miss the church and lodges which they were acquainted to attending in the sections where they lived before coming out here. Many Thrifty Successful Negroes at Seattle: As it has stated, as one goes farther West in the direction of Seattle and Tacoma it is noticeable that conditions so far as the Negro is concerned seem to grow better. Seattle evidently has the largest colored population of any city in either Washington or Oregon, and among them are some mighty thrifty mobilis and successful individuals. While in Washington one meets with large numbers of white people from every Southern State; as a rule they are of a pretty high type, and many of these Southern white people are among the best and most useful friends the Negro has, but there is a disposition at every point that I have so far touched to keep the Negro out of the skilled labor trades. He can practice law or medicine or preach, but finds little opportunity to teach school or work at a trade. In many of the hotels where I have stopped it has been interesting to note that Japanese, white people and black people are employed as servants. In most of the large hotels, however, the Japanese seem to control the work, and they are mighty good hotel workers. The Negro waiter and porter in the hotel has to compete with the Japanese and it is a pretty hard job. The Japanese are steady, reliable, sober, and are always on the job! I have visited and spoken to the faculty and students in practically all of the colleges, State universities and agricultural colleges in the States that I have traversed, and it is very noticeable that these institutions have gone further in technical and industrial education—in a word, in applying education to the needs and conditions of the people—that is true of the same type of institutions in the Eastern States. It is also noticeable that the general average of intelligence of any audience that one addresses in States like Idaho and Washington is much higher than in the old Eastern States. I have never been among a people anywhere in the world who read so much as is true of these Western people, and they read the higher grade of publications. · Read Best Papers and Magazines. In proportion to the population the standard monthly magazines and high-type weekly publications have a larger circulation. I think, in the West than in the East. It is not only true that the white people are great readers, but the same is equally true of the colored people. They know what is going on in the world, and anyone who comes into this part of the United States expecting to undeceive will soon be undeceived. It is interesting, too, to note how, in cities like Spokane, Seattle and Tacoma all the leading business men in the white race work together practically as one man. I have never been anywhere in the world where the Chamber of Commerce is such a center of activity and life as it is in these cities. I have never spoken to a set of business men who showed with a high degree of intelligence and enthusiasm as I have seen in the Board of Trade and Chambers of Commerce that I have addressed. I am glad to add that in most of the cities where there is any considerable number of colored people they also have a Negro Business League or some such organization, and are beginning to organize themselves in business and commercial directions. In several of the large cities our people have good church organizations and good church buildings. The ministers as a rule, while they have many difficulties to contend with, are of a high type, unselfish, intelligent. Tacoma, Wash., where there is a large group of colored people, seems a harbor less prejudice than any city that I have been in. In Tacoma there seems to be practically a racial discrimination, and one times here, as I have stated, a fine aggressive class of colored men and women. At every point that have touched I have simply been overwhelmed with kindness and attention down by members of my own race.

You are at liberty to use this letter as reference for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about through the survey and influence of two Loadstones. this letter as reference for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about through the power and influence of two Loudstones.

The storm that struck Chicago seems to have come direct to Hot Springs and made its presence known Wednesday night by a rain and wind storm that did much damage to property. The streets of the village were torn up and holes made in them by the great flow of water. The bridge facing the waiters' quarters was practically washed away and trains leaving Hot Springs have not run since Wednesday morning. Consequently there was no way of communicating with the outer world save in writing. No one was able to leave or enter this place from Wednesday night at 12'clock until Friday morning, when an automobile was sent over from Clifton Forge to bring the first mail. It will be several days before trains will run between Hot Springs and Covington. Smith's Troy Steam Laundry situated at Covington, was compelled to send their work over by wagon to fill the needs of their patrons who are practically cut off from civilization as a result of the storm. AUSTIN TEX Austin, Tex., April 1—Chas Stewart, A M. D.

A half million dollar hotel and theatre is to be erected soon, as upon the completion of the big dam our city be- comes a summer resort. The Rev. Hurd has purchased the Jones homestead and the Rev. Mr. Campbell has purchased the Fiegel property near the new colored high school. These properties belonged to white people who at one time refused to sell to Negroes, but as Negroes gradually came in possession of adjoining reality they sold. The transfers involved several thousand dollars. At a shoot of the Austin Gun Club Mr. Tears, Jr., got 18, Mr. Tears, Sr., got 15, and Julius Wright, the lowest, got 6 out of 20 birds.

Trouble began as of old; my husband was fretful and finding fault with everything. I was all out of sorts myself and wonder at what had happened to cause so much discord all at once. Finally I remembered the Loadstones and began to search for them. A few days later I found them tucked away in my, machine drawer where one of the children had put them.

THE UNMASKING OF A HYPO CRITE It is bad enough for society to have in its midst a human vulture garbed in the counterfeit raiments of Christianity and respectability, who practices not what he preaches, but who goes skulking about tarnishing virtue and lowering the standard of womanhood; but it is infinitely worse to tear the mask off this wolf in sheep's clothing, to show him up in his true colors—a grand rascal—and then listen to his painful bleatings and cries for pity, his implorings for the consideration of his friends whom he has deceived, and his digressing efforts to make himself a hero after he has been found out. If there was not such a vast difference between bravery and brazenness, one would feel constrained to ask that this peculiar specimen of humanity be awarded a Carnegie medal. The public has more respect for the professional gambler, the tout and the poor unfortunate woman of the underworld than for this sycophant, who goes about preaching the doctrines of chastity and righteousness, but who, in the end, is found out to do just the opposite of what his advice is to others. For in the case of the gambler, the tout and the woman of the underworld, they do not pose for other than what they are, while the hypocrite blinds those whose confidence he enjoys, only to take advantage of their wives, their daughters and their sisters. Such a man has no conscience, no regard for marriage vows, putting a blight on the purity of womanhood whenever the occasion presents itself, be it in the church, at the family fireside or in public places. A thief is not a thief until he has been "caught with the goods," neither is a hypocrite a hypocrite until he has been unmasked. But after the unmasking little sympathy should be shown him; for if permitted to roam at will once more, this enemy to society would return to his old evil practices, causing additional sorrow and anguish. THE ANGEL OF DEATH The nation was swept by storms, floods and fire the past ten days, starting at Omaha, Neb., in the Northwest, and centering at Dayton, O., in the Central West, and extending thence, like an opened fan, northeast by southeast, leaving death and disaster in its wake; the most sweeping and devastating in the history of the country. Literally, as Lord Byron phrased it, "The Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast." The loss of life and destruction of property cannot easily be estimated nor the Wrathful Spirit gauged that careered and shrieked as a frenzied Demon in the lightning and the gale. The sympathies of the nation and of the world went out promptly and are going out to the sufferers who survived the wreck of their cities and towns and fortunes and the loss of dear ones and personal belongings. In two days $300,000 was raised for relief by the people of New York City alone. It is in such calamities that "the one touch of nature which makes the whole world kin" shows itself a truth deeply embedded in the human soul. We are sure the readers of Titre Age who can afford it will contribute if they have not done so to the relief of the stricken ones. in it in great numbers and white property owners and tenants begin to move out of it into other districts. The distribution of white property owners and lessees has kept pace with the growth of Negro population. A condition of armed neutrality has been brought about, and breaks out in some sort of growl, blow or small riot without any visible cause and at most unexpected times and places. The growth of Negro enterprises of all sorts in Harlem during the past ten years has been phenomenal. It is neither proper nor permissible by the higher authorities that the police of Harlem should sympathise with the white property owners, tenants and business interests, especially the white liquor interests, but they do it, as against the black ones. The police, therefore, keep their eyes on all of the Negroes and the latter keep their eyes on the police; clashes between them in consequence have become more frequent and disquieting during the past ninety days than is good for them or the city. How is this condition to be altered for the better? The introduction of Negro policemen and detectives is one and the most effective way, and this view of it should be impressed upon the Mayor and police department upon every possible occasion. In the second place, the Negroes of Harlem, as well as in other sections of the city, should not studiously cultivate the enmity and provoke the wrath of the police. We must keep the law on our side as far as possible, as police magistrates are disposed to take sides with the police, right or wrong, and public opinion is even more disposed to do so. The Negro cannot safely brave the police and public opinion of New York; he should, then, when provoked, restrain himself and do what is honorable in conduct in every given situation, so as to put the police in the wrong when they go wrong and thus neutralize if he is not able to conciliate public opinion.

Abuses of all sorts die slowly. Indeed, they often do not die at all. Like certain sorts of diseases of the human body for which no remedy has been found, they eat up the condition which they afflict. Office-holding and seeking has been one of these abuses from the establishment of civil government among primitive people to the present time. After the Civil War, the offices of the Government, both in civil and military branches, were often given, because of the necessities of the case, upon the recommendation of Senators and Representatives in Congress and influential politicians. That system was continued after the war, so that one of the most exacting and troublesome duties of Cabinet officers and bureau chiefs at Washington was to supply places upon the demands of Congressmen and great politicians. The public service was overcrowded by the system, with many incompetent people, and more or less demoralization was unavoidable. The spoils system grew to be so rank between 1870 and 1890 that a reform was demanded by the best sentiment of the Nation, and resulted in the present Civil Service law, under the operations of which those of the greatest competency are selected by competitive examinations. The Republican party is responsible for the law and the good results that have come out of it, both as to the domestic and foreign service. A change of Administration and party control always brings to the front a large number of people who cling to the old Jackson theory that "to the victors belong the spoils of office." Despite the fact that most of the Federal offices are now under civil service regulation, both in the home and foreign service, leaving but 10,384 offices to be filled by the President, it is said that 131,530 Democrats have filed applications for appointment since March 4. When all of the available offices have been given to "the Democratic faithful," there will still remain some 120,000 applicants who will think that they have been robbed of their rights as partisans because they "need the jobs." President Wilson and his Cabinet officers were pressed so hard by the "office-seeking hosts" after March 4 that they had peremptorily to refuse to see all such personally. "File your application," is now the only way to a Government position, unless "the person be sent for," and that is as rare a thing as the striking of lightning in the same place. One thing is certain, the Negro has profited more and stands a better chance under the competitive civil service examination than he did under the spoils system. THE CRUSADE AGAINST VICE. Macaulay, who was much of a cynic as well as a big Great Britain in the time of Lord Byron, acted at long intervals of time with a spasm thing before it, but that after spending its old ways again. That may have been true since constantly grown the other way; so Lord Macaulay, who was much of a cynic as well as a philosopher, in describing Great Britain in the time of Lord Byron, said his country was afflicted at long intervals of time with a spasm of virtue that swept everything before it, but that after spending its force it settled down to the old ways again. That may have been true up to his time, but it has since constantly grown the other way; so that not only Great Britain, but all of the Christian nations, have got into a spasm of Vice that keeps Virtue so busy endeavoring to control it that it has small time to do anything else. The drink habit, the chronic discontent, disputations and violence to persons and property of wageearners, and "the votes for women" disturbers of existing conditions are not only acutely symptomatic in Great Britain, which is the pivot, but are present, phantomatically, in all Christian countries, and threaten the very foundations of society and government. The present spasms of Vice and of Virtue are not fantasies of the imagination but the stern evidences of distressing facts. The wave of crime that has been sweeping through New York City for more than a year, with the police department on trial and the police service demoralized, charged with being in alliance with the criminal underworld, is not peculiar to New York City, but affects most of the cities of the Nation from Portland, Maine, in the northeast, to Portland, Oregon, in the northwest, and from St. Louis, Missouri, in the southwest to Jacksonville, Florida, in the southeast. Like the fearful storm and flood that swept the Nation for ten days, ending last week, the crime wave, which has been gathering since the bloody days of 1870 and 1880, may have reached its highest point, but whether it will be dissipated as the storm and flood wave were, leaving death and destruction of human life and property in their wake, remains to be seen, when the conflict between the forces of lawlessness and law and order have finished the fight for the time being. The conflict between the two has been insistent since the first century of the Christian era, and was never more in evidence and aggressive than now. Because of his color, which makes him a marked man everywhere in Christendom, the Negro suffers more than any other race of people in any unnaturally disturbed condition of society, as the criminal element and their allies can most easily single him out, vent their wrath upon. We find that to be the case in New York at the present time; it is so in other large cities of the country. We have our own criminal element to reckon with, and it is no insignificant force, as well as the vast white criminal element, so that those who strive to be HARD CONSTICTIONS IN THE NORTHWEST. All of the readers of Tau Act were interested in Dr. Washington's graphic description of conditions in the Northern States, as they affect our people, as published in Tau Act of March 20. Those unfamiliar with those conditions, and who are not acquainted with the peculiarities of the race as reflected in themselves, may have been surprised to learn that those of them in the Northwest are not so numerous as so prosperous as they are in the Southern States, nor no happy and hopeful as those of them in Northern and Eastern States. As a matter of fact, the Negro is no more of "a race mixer" than the red race. The white race is. The white man will tie up to any color in any situation where he finds himself isolated for the time being, bending all his energies to getting the most happiness and profit out of it and making off when there is nothing more to be got of happiness or cash, often leaving a desolate woman and a lot of his orphans, with as many money and other obligations as he can escape, to take care of themselves. We once found such a white man in the wilds of the Island of Luzon, in the Philippines, a hundred miles from any other white man. "I am doing very well," he said, and was; when he got his "bunch of money" together he would move on to his own kind again. As Dr. Washington says, the Negroes in the Northwest are few in numbers; the whites do not care for them socially, as business associates or as employees, hence they are hampered in their business growth and unhappy in their social and church life. The physical and mental growth is found to be stunted in such environment. In order to have the fullest growth, people living in the same neighborhood must be in the closest sympathy in all of the relations of life. Nowhere do blacks and whites seem able to sustain this relation when the whites outnumber the blacks and their off colors. Such business development as the Negro has everywhere, and especially in the Southern States, is due to the fact that white traders and professionals discourage his patronage—don't want to sell him hard or soft drinks from the same bottles, fit him to shoes, cloaks and bonnets in the same place as whites, treat him in offices with their white patients and clients, ride in the cars with him, or the like. This being true in the far Northwest, where there are few Negroes, and even here in New York, how much so is it in Atlanta, Montgomery, New Orleans, and the like? Such ostracism, such treatment, throws the Negro back upon himself everywhere, as a matter of convenience and self-respect. Not only in the South, but in all sections of the country, he is beginning to make the most of it, but only beginning. He is having the greatest success where he has the greatest number of his own people in a given locality. Far from being discouraged by the obstacles placed in the way of his development by the uppissiness of the white man among whom he lives, the Negro will have to work out his salvation among white races as the Jew has done it in Europe and America since the beginning of the Christian era. He will have to build his moral, mental and material fortunes along his own lines, in his own settlements, neighborhoods and districts, so that in the end the whites will need to seek him and what he has and they want, rather than that he shall need to seek the whites for anything they do not care to furnish him upon the same conditions they are glad to alienate it to others. We have a few such settlements now—Greenwood, near Tuskegee; North Atlanta, Mound Bayou, Miss.; Muscogee, Boley, Langston, Okla.; Buxton, Ia., Allensworth, Cal.; Gouldtown and Whitesboro, N. J. We must have more of them, and make them as the best white settlements are, and not as the worst. And so in the large cities, where we find segregation into districts forced upon us—like the San Juan Hill and Harlem districts in New York City—we must strive to make them the best possible in all that is highest and most desirable. WASTE OF ROOD STUFFS In times of great scarcity of foodstuffs, or of the money with which to purchase them, people learn economy and the practice of it because they have to. The lesson so learned, like all enforced lessons, is not pleasant to learn or to practice. When persons have learned to live extravagantly in their eating and other expenditures it is hard for them to unlearn it. The small wastes of foodstuffs in the homes from day to day is so very large as to make a heavy tax on the wage-earners of them. People do not stop for a moment to consider the importance of this item of waste in the kitchen—the stale bread. meat and cereals, which could be done over into palatable dishes instead of being dumped into the garbage can and harrow. In the course of a year this waste item cuts deep into the total of expenditures, and many cannot understand where the leak is. Of course, it is for housewives to find it rather than the husbands. Housewives who are not guilty of kitchen wastes are prizes indeed. New York receives annually, from all sources, four billion five hundred and thirty-three million, seven hundred and forty-four thousand, three hundred and seventy-five pounds of foodstuffs! Of this total, for the year 1912, Commissioner Lederle of the New York Department of Health says "nineteen food inspectors condemned and destroyed 23,950,321 pounds, or 11,975 tons, a supply sufficient to have maintained a good-sized community." This waste is brought about in many ways, as much of it is perishable, such as vegetables of all sorts, but the dealers add the value of the waste to that they sell, so that most of the loss falls on the housewives, who are compelled to pay the prices the retail dealers demand; but they can economize by buying the best offered, by buying no more than they need, and by using all they buy to the best advantage before it decays on their hands. THE LID ON IN NEW YORK. In line with the nation-wide movement for better municipal conditions and public morals, Mayor Gaynor of New York has issued an order to, Commissioner Waldo to enforce the law against selling liquors after 1 o'clock, and revoking all licenses for all-night opening to all salons and restaurants, the order to go into effect April 1. The Mayor states his viewpoint in the following first two paragraphs of his letter: When the liquor tax law was amended in 1910 so as to provide for the granting of continuous all night licenses by permission, the law was amended to prohibit migrants as to the result of permitting such licenses in this city. I felt that people could eat enough, and people could drink enough, and people could clock at night, which is the regular closing hour established by law. Experience has now shown the result of keeping places closed, and hold all night to be most persecuted. The people who patronize such places after the regular closing hour of 1 o'clock will be a full day good spent. They will vulgar, rostrating and often openly immoden. They get intoxicated, be voluptuously and indulge in lascivious dancing in rooms devoted to hare. It is time to be careful that the vulgar have revoked all of these licenses to take effect April 1 next. It will then be your duty to see to it that one is out of the room and that the lights are out and the doors locked. This is very plain talk and truthful. A rigid enforcement of the 1 o'clock closing law should make for better conditions in New York. The "night owls" and "night hawks" should be compelled to go to bed, get off the public highways and places when honest people do so. NOTE AND COMMENT. "Play Ball!" will soon ring through the land. Every Negro community should have a penny savings bank. The smallpox scare in Washington has helped to keep the office-seekers away. All who can afford to do so should contribute to the Red Cross Society, as President Wilson advises, for the relief of the sufferers by the March storms. George Matthews Adams, a newspaper philosopher, who often thinks wisely, says: "Nothing of Winning matters with Respect gone. Respect yourself and other people will be compelled to respect you—and you will respect them. Respect is the beginning of Wisdom." The bailiff of the Supreme Court at Washington lost his lines on the opening of the Court, March 24, and yelled: "Draw nigh and get down to business!" The entire court, it is said, lost its dignity and shook with laughter. He should have cried: "Draw nigh and give your attention." But "Draw nigh and get down to business" is more sensible and means more. It is intimated that Bishop Turner may be again assigned to active work when the Board of Bishops meets in June. We think he would accomplish a better work during the next ten years if he should decline to do any more active church work and should instead write a history of his life and times, as the Christian Record succeeds, publishing each volume as it is completed. In future incomes are to be taxed by the Federal Government. We do not believe in the income tax principle, but we are sure it will make those who have incomes to tax less disposed to make such loud and offensive proclamations and vulgar display of their possessions. That will be great gain. Thieves tunnelled under one street to another under a pawnbroker's shop recently in New York, and got $300,000 in diamonds and other valuables. It was what the light fingered cracksmen call "a neat job." The police are still hunting the thieves. Jewelry of all sorts give their owners more uneasiness and trouble than any other sort of wealth. If they are not worrying about losing or having it stolen they are compelled to pawn it and worry about how to redeem it. and had been there then he began to be a prisoner in a prison ring and the state government and public assistance all over the world has not its own against them. It usually works that way with those who are to "hear" it all that they in turn get "hogged." How? That's the job in it. The year we new lives in in 1912. What signifies the Arithmetic numbers? Anyhow 1912 began the New Year with a revolution in the control and management of the Nation, with nation and near famine in all areas of the country, while plenty of storage houses and garments, and March went out leaving death and desolation in every nation of the country in the state of his floods and winds and fires. There is no significance in the number 12, most people claim, but wherever it has shown up by itself or in combination there have been things doing nobody wanted done. The New Jersey legislature has passed a law aimed at hair straightening preparations, many of which, it is claimed, contain poisonous chemicals. Perhaps. It looks, however, as if the white folks have become frantically jealous of the efforts of black folks to straighten their hair by chemical or intermarriage process and determined to prevent them from doing so by law. The right of a black person to straighten in any way he can is just as dear to him as the right of a white person to make his crooked in any way he can. Should the right be denied or abridged? that's the question. We say, No! A person can believe anything he resolutely determines to. Many people who live to a ripe old age attribute it to some peculiar fad of which they have made an idol. A descendant of Daniel Boone has just died in Massachusetts at the age of 87. He attributed his long life to the fact of eating a gallon of molasses a week, spread over all his food. He got comfort out of the belief, and anybody else can get it who will believe in it and spread molasses over all the food he eats. Most people prefer their molasses refined by the sugar trust into small "loafs." That is the way we prefer it, as we had a surfeit of raw molasses in our youth. After some forty years of activity in law and politics in New York State former Gov. Frank S. Black announced last year that, having made a million dollars, which was "enough for any man," he would this year retire to his farm at Freedom and take it easy. Last week he died and was buried at Freedom. "In the midst of life we are in death." Gov. Black was a great lawyer and politician and a splendid man in all of the personal relations. On the face of it he seemed to have earned the rest and privacy he planned last year and was denied forever this year. The mystery of death is the mystery of life. The safest way is to make the most of each day of living, and not the least, for every to-morrow is, mighty uncertain. --- Poor Trotter, the individual responsible for inflicting on the unsuspecting public the Boston Mudscow, is seldom taken seriously; for as a comedian he rivals another member of the race, Bert A. Williams. But there are times when some of the things Trotter says are so funny that they deserved to be classed with the jokes appearing in Puck and Judge and are worthy of reproduction. He has spent a lifetime of idle "powerful utterances" as jokes. In the last issue of the Mudscow Trotter makes himself ludicrous by criticizing The Ake, claiming that Thomas Wallace Swann wrote a news article for The Ake about anti-Negro legislation at Springfield, Ill., but was not given credit for his literary work. Before trying to tell others how to run a paper Trotter had better take a course in journalism and get pointers on how to give the few readers of the Mudscow value received for their money. As he news from week to week with old familiar cuts, it is charged by some that the only way they can tell that the Mudscow is the latest issue is by the date line. A Plea for Delinquent Girls to the Editor of The Arc: I have read very carefully your editorial on the "Detention Home For Girls," appearing in your issue of Thursday, February 6, 1913, and I agree fully with you that effort should be made to persuade the State to make care for the care of our delinquent girls. The State on Urban Conditions Among Negroes is making this effort, having launched the movement for the establishment of the "Sojourner Truth House" for delinquent colored girls, only in order to prevent them from prior to more permanent accommodation. I should like to quote briefly from a letter recently written by Dr. Katherine B. Davis, superintendent of the New York State Reformatory for women (16), at Bedford. We never ask any woman when certain mentions is made as to race, color or previous condition of servitude, but we are very much hampered at the present moment by our very great overcrowding. If our friends will help us to secure the appropriation which we need, we shall be able to care for more colored girls as well as for more white girls." Of course, Bedford Reformatory does not provide for girls under sixteen, and expert opinion has differed so greatly as the advisability of enforcing the State laws to delinquent girls under sixteen at Hudson for the provision for the care of girls of this age will probably not be increased in this institution for some time, if at all, and the establishment of a second institution of this kind in the eastern State is in a possibility as yet very remote. Unfortunately the private institutions to which the State commits are paid by the State only for the girls they receive. Therefore, a colored girl can, with impunity be refused on account of the exceeded condition" of the institutions. If State have appropriations to these institutions, general maintenance, they could be forced to receive all girls committed to them as long as their capacities were not taxed. should like for you to give this letter with publicity as you think it deserves. Sincerely yours, E. K. JONES Flareon shipling, stars are panging. As the crimson paneets the wort; Nestlew to the dawning. Nesture new retrosis to rest.

SECRETARY PRISON REFORM ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA (Reprinted from The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.) By PHILIP WELTNER: The following is a report received by the office of the Prison Association on the case of a Negro boy, who applied for assistance in securing his pardon: "In regard to his mistreatment by the warden of — county, he substantiates the story in Mason's letter in toto. He says he was sick one morning, but the warden forced him out to work, and put him to tearing up a bridge. He was trying to pull up a plank with his hands, but could not move it. He asked the warden for a pick to pry it with, but the latter refused to let him have one and ordered him back at it again. When Roger failed to pull the plank loose, the warden had him whipped. After the beating the warden told him to pull the plank up a third time, and when his third effort proved unsuccessful, the warden in a rage kicked the boy off the bridge into the deep gully below. Roger fell on his head and shoulders, and was completely paralyzed. He could neither move nor speak. They laid him under a tree for the rest of the day, instead taking him back to camp. Instead he had him put back but he he stayed for three weeks with no medical attention to speak of. In fact the warden claimed he was playing off, because he could not answer the doctor's questions and had been asked to tell the whole of the three weeks while he remained in the camp, and his condition was unseable. The stench was unbearable. At the end of three weeks the warden had him moved to another prison where he would be hobble around with stick and is gradually recovering his speech." This happened in Georgia. It did not happen in Russia, in the Siberian mines, nor in the Congo, nor on the rubber plantations of South America. It happened in the Empire State of the Soviet Union. The crime for which Roger was deprived of the use of limbs and the power of speech was a burglary, made up of the most trivial details. The punishment that he actually received was as atrocious as any in the annals of penality. What happened to him is liable to happen again. The chances on its reputation are more than even, so the enemy captain but also the changang captain and pariah is convict guard. Our Civilization. This is a brown-stone front civilization, with the accent on the front. There are many things we love to do and be and have, so long as they are sufficiently showy. Whatever we like to do, we do splendidly. The front of the house is the civilization and the parlor and the porch and the public buildings are beautiful: well scrubbed and well decorated. But, like the dwelling of the slovenly housewife, the back lot is not fit to be seen. There is a type of housekeeper so doesn't care how the house is decorated so it comes the table looking "nice." So we, as a people, do not bother about adulterations so long as the bill of fare is printed in French. The same housekeeper doesn't care if the back lot is full of tin cans, if the kitchen is full of tinware, if the kitchen and the pantry and the cellar look like pig-pens, so long as the parlor table is dusted, the front door-knob polished, the windows lacerated and the piano tuned. So also our civilization doesn't mind how many slums or what misery may be tucked in the long as there are no holes in Fifth avenue and the parks are full of automobiles. There are other housewives, however, who are as particular about the back yard as the front; who worry more about the way food is prepared than about the safety of who (possibly in self-defense, if the cynic or the exoist insists) are as solicitous of the welfare of the servants as of their own. Perhaps some day we also shall become so self-respecting that we will absolutely comfort so long as three-fourths of the house needs a good cleaning. Just at present it seems to be a matter of self-processing. PERTH AMBOY PERTH AMBROY, N. J., April 2. The pastor's literary club of the Second Baptist Church gave a necktic and apron entertainment for the benefit of the club which cleared them $10. Jesse Williams, Fayette and Elm streets, trustee of the Second Baptist Church, improves very little. Philadelphia, Ft. April 2.—The Pennsylvania Bureau of Preservation Commission which will hold an Exposition celebrating the fifty years of five years of preservation in Philadelphia, September 1913, in making elaborate preparations for the conservation of that event. Hon. Harry W. Bam, the only Negro member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, is the prime mover in the celebration. It will be held at the Pennsylvania led off with an appropriation of $90,000 for this purpose. The executive committee of the Emancipation Celebration has just announced a number of prizes for the annual Emancipation Song will be a prize of $50 in gold for the best Emancipation ode, a prize of $50 in gold for the best Emancipation song set to music, and $50 in gold for the best paper, from five thousand to one hundred, donated by the The Progress of the Negro Slave Emancipation, depicting fifty years of Negro progress. All the contestants are to send in their products not later than the Emancipation Proclamation Commission, $35 Lombard street, Philadelphia, Pa. In connection with the celebration there will be also an athletic meet, under the auspices of the Amateur Athletic League, which will be like 41,000 worth of prizes will be awarded among which will be a memorial cup to the honor of Dr. John R. Tayler, of the University of Pennsylvania, a member of the mile race of America, William M. Shaw, Harry D. Plessiam, George Smiley, J. T. Howard, C. A. Lewis, J. Max Barber and others compose the local athletic committee which proposes to bring to the meeting the most outstanding list of Negro athletes which has ever met in the history of the country. The chief feature of the Exposition will be the exhibits illustrating the industrial progress of the Negro industry and the many schools that have made application to exhibit their industrial and literary work. Negro manufacturers and inventors will have a large part in the Exposition. While the industrial schools Science Department is expected to make use of the most attractive features. An organization of five hundred local Philadelphia women aided by a similar organization in nearly every city in the State, is working with the Women's Department. A Women's Congress will be held at which time will appear many of the leading women of both races in the country. Musical Carnival Will be a Feature. Next to the industrial exhibit the musical will be a local carnival. Among those interested are Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, F. A. Clark, Edwin F. Hill and many other local musical people. A chorus of five thousand volos, which will render the old phantasm melodies is being trained composer and musical director, Prof. F. A. Clark of Philadelphia. A similar chorus of the school children of Philadelphia, is being trained under the leadership of Prof. J. R. Paul Brock, principal of the Thomas Durbin Durkin School of Music, Philadelphia. During this carnival the musical committee proposes to bring to Philadelphia, the very best musical talent of the race. There shall be concentrated during the latter half of August and the month of September, the music will be performed even been brought together at any one time in any one place. In connection with the Exposition there will be a series of conferences: a sociological conference, under the leadership of the Rev. Matthew Anderson, founder and principal of the Rerean medical men, under the leadership of the medical men, under the leadership of a very competent committee of which Dr. R. Wellesley Bailey is chairman, an inter-denominational religious conference which will bring together all the religious denominations to which the Negro belongs, under the leadership of the religious committee of which Bishop L. J. Coinpin is chairman. Last August a special representative of the Commission, Dr. Albergran B Jackson, who is president of the Negro Business League of Philadelphia, sent to the Chicago institute of the Negro Business League to and secured the acceptance of the invitation to hold the 151st session in the city of brotherly love in connection with the Emancipation Exposition celebration. This will be one of the features of this great celebration of fifty years progress in the colored race. Hon. Rifael A. Gomez, a long-time member of the Common Council of the City of Philadelphia, and also chief clerk of the Emancipation Proclamation Commission, introduced and had passed by the Philadelphia Councils, an appropriation of $5,000 for the interest of the Commission. The Negro Business League which will meet during the Exposition in the Exposition Building. The Governor of each State has been asked to appoint a Commission to take great race conference which will be held at this time. President Woodrow Wilson, while Governor of New Jersey, appointed a Commission and the New York State Commission to aid in making the Philadelphia Exposition a success and measures are now being taken by which it is hoped the Governor of each State to make a similar appropriation. The management of the Exposition is in charge of the local executive committee, composed of some of the best representative men of the race, they are Bishop J. N. Blackchurch man, Bishop J. S. Caldwell, L. J. Coppin, George Blackwell, Evans Tyre the Revs, H. H. Cooper, J. C. Scott, C. Scott, W. Webster, Matthews, E. W. John, C. A. Tindley, W. A. Credit, C. C. Dunlift, G. W. Goff, J. W.

HARRISBURG PA. Hawksmo, Pa., April 1.—The Star concern given for the benefit of the St Augustine P. E. Church was a success in exercises and attendance. The amuseful fulfilled the expectations of the audience and would be welcomed back to the city for another production. The reception given by the Apollo City was attended by the elite of the city. The rain somewhat affected the attendance yet a goodly number were present with ladies in the majority. The Camino Park extension plan is rapidly distributing our people over parts of the city where heretofore houses were restricted. The Rev. and Mrs. Marshall are moving to their family purchased home, corner of Boas and Crown streets.

BIRLEY, MRS. 2000 WASHINGTON, CALIF. 1. THEATRICAL COMMENT THERE is no harm in musical sounds. It matters not whether it is fast ragtime or a slow melody like "The Rosary." Scott Joplin, who is recognized as one of the world's greatest writers of ragtime, in discussing the question, said: "I have often sat in the theatres and listened to beautiful ragtime melodies set to almost vulgar words as a song, and I have wondered why some composers will continue to make the public hate ragtime melodies because the melodies are set to such bad words. "I have often heard people say after they had heard a ragtime song, 'I like the music, but I don't like the words.' And most people who say they do not like ragtime have reference to the words and not the music. "If some one were to put vulgar words to a strain of one of Beethoven's beautiful Symphonies, people would begin saying: 'I don't like Beethoven's Symphonies.' So it is the unwholesome words and not the ragtime melodies that many people hate. "Ragtime rhythm is a syncopation original with the colored people, though many of them are ashamed of it. But the other races throughout the world are learning to write and make use of ragtime melodies. It is the rage in England to-day. When composers put decent words to ragtime melodies there will be very little kicking from he public about ragtime." "There has been ragtime music in America ever since the Negro race has been here, but the white people took no notice of it until about twenty years ago." Judging from what the London newspapers have to say about the work of the Royal Poinciana Quintet, which opened in February at the Palace Theatre, the five colored singers who left Reisenweber's Cafe, located in Columbus Circle, New York, to entertain abroad have captivated the English theatrgoers and have demonstrated that a colored act can make good without employing alap-stick methods. Many colored acts playing abroad adopt the knock-about plan to win applause, and the Britains associate colored performers with this style of work. So when the members of the Royal Poincaré Quintet appeared in one of London's largest vaudeville houses in a refined singing act the Britains evinced surprise. The dramatic writers did not hesitate to declare that they had been agreeably surprised by the absence of rough work in the act of the Royal Poincaré Quintet, the London Telegraph saying: Evidently it took visitors to the Palace last night some little time to adjust themselves to an unexpected order of things. They had, it may be surmised, come primed with the idea that "colored gentlemen," whether comedians or vocalists, must necessarily indulge in, knockabout methods and a slap-dash style. In the "Royal Poinciana Quintette" they found, on the contrary, five charming singers, possessed of sympathetic, if not particularly powerful, voices, who rendered half a dozen ballads, humorous, sentimental, and tender, with a refinement and taste which it would be difficult to surpass. To listen to them was to enjoy a treat of no ordinary sort, and when they have gauged the size of the house more accurately and somewhat broadened their manner in consequence, their success, even with the furtherest occupant of the gallery, is bound to be complete. Among the most attractive features of their program were "My Sweet Evening Star," admirably sung by Mr. R. M. Cooper, and a musical travesty of "Woodman, Spare That Tree," which, as delivered with the utmost gravity by Mr. C. B. Foster, kept the house in roars of laughter. Mr. Foster indeed is a comedian of such resource and genuine drollery that the audience would gladly have seen and heard much more of him. --- Referring to the members of the Quintet as Southern gentlemen although they hail from New York, the Morning Post had the following to say: Lovers of "ragtime" may hear and see it at its most characteristic in the quaint performance of "The Royal Poinciana Quintet." These five gentlemen of color include a tenor with a nice voice and a genuine basso, who is also a humorist. The best of six or seven numbers was the heavy bass parody on "Woodman, Spare That Tree," while that called "Row! Row! Row!" was given with lots of "go" and drollery. Not the least attractive feature of these Southern gentlemen's entertainment is their unusually distinct enunciation. The members of the Royal Pointiana Quintet are H. J. Sutton, first tenor; Walter Hillard, second tenor; R. M. Cooper, baritone; Chester Hawkes, harpine and accompanist, and Charles B. Foster, basso. With white as well as colored acts appearing in England at this time doing blackface turns, it is fortunate that we have some colored entertainers who can show the theatragoers abroad that the work of our colored artists is not confined solely to buffoonery and slap-stick.

DOGGETT MAKES REPLY. To the Dramatic Editor of The Age, The scurrilious tirades of my criticisms of "The Lady of Lyons" and "The Mikado" which appeared in your columns last week places upon me the necessity of defending my remarks. What was written by me was a frank and just criticism of the two presentations. I wrote my sincere views, neither seeking favor nor praise in any way from the management of either production. W. P. Tucker, although he showed sincere study of his part, was not a happy choice for "Claude Melnotte" Mrs. Daley Tapley admittedly good did not justify the sending to New York for her. Finally, I want to be emphatically set down as 'being strong against this cheap excuse so readily offered.' "We are not professionals scarcely even to be claused with general run of amateurs" or "we are Negroes." Spare unanticipated price demanded for them let them stand the test. If they themselves cannot stand the test sympathy is not my stock in trade. Trusting you are enjoying your well earned and much deserved success. I am. Very truly yours. R. G. DOGGETT, Washington, D. C. --- ENGAGE WHITNEY STOCK CO. S. Tutt Whitney J. Homer Tutt, Blanche Thompson and a company of twenty-five comedians, singers and dancers, have been engaged to appear at the Lafayette Theatre next week in an entertaining musical production. The Whitney Musical Comedy will open Monday and will furnish entertainment in connection with the regular vaudeville bill. The strong bill at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week made good business. Easily the best attractions on the bill were Fiddler and Shelton and the Sambo Girls, with Edgar Comor. Fiddler and Shelton continue to live up to their reputation as classy entertainers, and while they have changed their skirt somewhat, using more talk and less song, the act is of big time caliber. A little more ragtime and singing would strengthen the turn. The Sambo Girls, with Edgar Connor, have a lively act and there is not a weak number in the entire sketch. The girls are full of animation. The Sambo Girls are giving the public what is expected of an act of its kind. Edgar Connor is the same gingerly little individual, who sings as in the past and dances better than ever. He is ably assisted by Mattie Harris, Cecil Mann, Helen Baxter, Daisy Brown, Jessie Ellis and Marion Potter. Owing to being strong drawing cards Fiddler and Shelton and the Sambo Girls have been held over for the entire week. CRE8CENT THEATRE Emmett Anthony and Sam Rhodes, assisted by a small company, appeared in a laughable sketch entitled "The Call of the Ghost" at the Crescent, Theatre the first half of the week. The work of Anthony and Rhodes was a scream, and was marred only by their inclination to use suggestive talk from time to time, which seems to be a cardinal fault. Constant dialogue about feet of the Sandow type is always out of order and would not be allowed in any of the larger houses. "The Home Wreckers" is the title of another humorous skit put on by Hunter and Chappelle, assisted by company. The comedians succeed in their efforts to extract laughs. Essie Whitman, with some more wardrobe, appeared in a single turn, making many friends in her talking and singing. Blanche Deas is in her second week as a singer of illustrated songs, and is scoring as usual. FRANKLIN THEATRE Watts and Turner were at the Franklin Theatre the first half of the week, making merry in comedy, dance and song. Both are good dancers and Laura Turner put over her songs well. Watts showed up best in his monologue. Ed Williams, an old-timer, who recently came east from Chicago, is considered one of the best banjo players in the business. However, he will have to get new material, as most of his numbers were old. The Lucky Bob Company presented a playlet, and Bertha Cooper was entertaining in songs. Gaines and Brown were a hit at the Franklin the second half of last week. The Owens Sisters' act is getting better and better. NEW THEATRE AT ST. LOUIS. St. Louis is to have a large, modern theatre, which will be owned and managed by Negroes. Constable Charles H. Turpin, proprietor of the Booker T. Washington Theatre, and the only colored man in Missouri holding an elective office, is engineering the new proposition. The plans for the proposed new theatre have been accepted by Mr. Turpin, which will cost in the five figures. Work will be commenced some time this spring. MAY LET OUT COLORED GIRLS. It is reported that the fifteen colored girls employed as ushers at the Palace Theatre will receive their walking papers within a few days, and that white male ushers will succeed them. Percy Thomas, one of the managers of the house, has resigned, and it is said that the new manager does not favor employing colored female ushers. The Palace Theatre opened Monday week in opposition to Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre. Fifteen colored female ushers, two colored footmen and two colored footmen were employed. Three days after the theatre had been opened Manager Thomas complained about the department of some of the ushers, and on one occasion had an argument with one of the girls who came to work in a low-neck dress. Thursday he put people to work looking for colored male ushers, who would have gone to work had he not severed his connections with the Palace Theatre. W. H. Ray's Creole Belles Co.

THE athletic carnival under the auspices of the Smart Set Athletic Club of Brooklyn, held last Wednesday evening at the 47th Regiment Armory, was a big affair and marks an epoch in the history of athletics among colored clubs in the vicinity. Despite the extreme inclemency of the weather about four thousand were in attendance and more than three hundred athletes, representing the principal clubs competed in the events, among who were half a dozen of Olympic fame. The 75-yard special, which was won by Howard P. Drew, who is to-day the pride of all lovers of athletics, both white and colored, proved a very sensational race. The J. B. Taylor memorial event which was won by Ted Meredith, the one-half-mile world's champion, aroused much interest and enthusiasm. Ed Goodwin, of the Irish-American A. C., champion amateur cyclist, continued his winning streak, this being his seventh consecutive victory in the past month. The colored athletes who took prizes are as follows: Irving T. Howe of the Boston English High School, second in the J. B. Taylor memorial race; Howard P. Drew of Springfield, Mass., winner of the 75-yard special; Harry M. Martin of Cincinnati, winner of the 100-yard handicap, also third in the 75-yard special; Hobart Johnson of Springfield, Mass., third in the 300-yard handicap; Harry W. Brown of McCadden Lyceum, second in the 1-mile relay handicap. Robert P. Lattimore, winner of the 220-yard obstacle race. Albert Reed, Owen Waller, George Ralston and Walter Powe, of the Smart Set Realy team, winners of the 1-mile inter-city race. 120-Yard Dash, Handicap—Won by H. M.

C., came to New York Thursday and in the evening met the Younger Set at Young's Casino. The visitors outplayed the home point, winning out by the score of 12 to 3. Lilian Skinker and Isadore Kenney did the best work for the Washington girls, while Edith Trice starred for the Younger Set. The first half ended 2 to 1. The lineup: —Laura Skinker, Jennie Cornell, r. f.; Helen Gordon, l. f.; Lilian Skinker, c.; Sylvia Paper, r. g.; Isadore Kenney, l. g. Younger Set—Mildred Gallaway, r. f. Edith Trice, l. f.; Eva Muller, c.; Alice Powell, Blanche Johnson, r. g.; Vioh Harris, l. g. Show Wins 3 Within a Week On Easter Monday Shaw defeated the West Raleigh team by the score of 10 to 5. The game was devoid of special features, though Latta, the city team's slahman, pitched good ball, fanning ten of the collegians. Williams, who did adroit duty for Shaw, kept his hits well scattered, and most of the scores of the opposing side were the prowess of Friday, March 25, the formidable Shaw crew crossed bats with the National Religious Training School at Durham. The final count was 25 to 10 for Shaw. The Shawites and the boys from the training school engaged in a batting bee. The artists from the Tarheel Capital could have made many more scores, but after they sewed up the game they at did as well. Did on one occasion a hit got in a batsman's ocker and went to third, instead of first base. All the boys had their eyes on the ball, and about the sixth inning, Dunn, was chased from the box, after yielding twelve hits and 9 u x c y CLUB corporated) AN CASINO AY[8] W. W. McCredit, Portland baseball maginate, closed a deal yesterday afternoon for the appearance of the Negro Majors in Portland for Saturday and Sunday, April 12 and 13, against the Colts. As these games depend upon other exhibitions with Northwestern League clubs, the tentative schedule as presented by railroad officials probably will be followed. Avon and Speedwell are tied for first place in the bowling contest due to Alpha forfeiting two cages to the Speedwell team last Friday night. Capt. Anderson was a much dissappointed man when he arrived at the Speedwell, alleys and learned for the first time that one of his team would not be on hand and had not thought it important enough to notify his captain nor take the trouble to send a substitute to bowl in his place. Quite a crowd was on hand to witness the contest and was equally disappointed. Some of the remarks about the absentee were not complimentary. Standing of the clubs: W. L. H.S. Aver. Avona 6 4 739 682.7 Speedwell 6 4 686 604. Alpha 4 8 725 640 --- 11feen runs which the Shaw boys secured with the aid of a few errors. Kittnell, his successor, fared worse, and during the remainder of the encounter the 'Varsity landed on him at will. Capt. Dabney led the batting, getting four two-baggers and a single out of five trips. Others who distinguished themselves were Hawkins, both at bat and in the field, when he robbed Mallette of a sure home run; Hargrave at second and Johnson at first. Harrington batted hard and played well in right field, and got the only home run of the game. Gunn caught an excellent game and did good stick-work, as did Williams in center. Both teams made a fast double play, the one by Shaw being from Dabney to Johnson-to-hawkie to make after the captain had fallen to the ground, and then the ball had while in a recumbent position. Penson was Shaw's hurler, and though he yielded eleven hits, he did not attempt to exert himself, but depended mostly upon his support. For the visitors, Dunn, Kittnell and Mallette did good work with the willow. Saturday, March 29, found the "pill bingers" lined up against the A. & M. College at Greenshore, and the "Argiles" were taken into camp to the time of 15 to 2. The boys from Raleigh garnered eighteen hits off Womack, for the first time in a season. The Shaw men stole baggers at wrist catcher Gunn leading with five and Hargrove coming next with three to his credit. All of the university boys batted like flends: Hargrove, Gunn, Johnson, Alston and Harrington leading, the last named with a three-bagger, a two-bagger and a single to fatten his average. The Shaw aggression bounced home, Shaw aggression Seneca, S.C., whose they played Monday afternoon.

In speaking of the tour of the American Giants in the Northwest the Portland Oregonian says: "Northwestern baseball fans will not be forced to wait until after the opening of the season on April 15 to get a fair line on the strength of the sexet of diamond squads; for, unless all signs fail, the famous American Giants, the Negro team of Chicago, will meet every team in the circuit before the opening of the 1913 campaign.

There was lots of fun in searching for the exx. At 11 a.m. Sunday morning a splendid crowd was present to receive the message. Our pastor preached a soul-stirring sermon. At 5 p.m. Sunday School was largely attended. The lessons were catechised by E. Yates, ex-superintendent. W. H. Johnson manages to keep the force very much alive in the Sunday School work. At 5:30 the B. Y. P. U. was somewhat gloomy, because of the absence of the president, W. H. Lloyd, who had been taken to the Roosevelt Hospital Saturday evening for an operation. It is our prayer that he will soon be rested in health and back to his post of duty. In the afternoon our pastor opened the anniversary service of the Metropolitan priest Church, of which Dr. N. Epps pastor. Quite a number of people accompanied him. This is first year of the Metropolitan and fifteen years of the old church. There is a great future in Harlem. At 10am our pastor returned to his post of worship. He gave us a message full of praise. The simple Tomb was filled with a number of visitors in our audience. Young Women's Christian Association. There was scarcely room for the large number of people who assembled to hear the Easter program of the Young Women's Christian Association at 4 o'clock Saturday. The Rev. H. Kirkwood, assistant pastor of Broadway Tabernacle, directed the Easter address. His discussion was valuable and impressive one. Solos were invited to amuse the Lipton (Oregon), Browne (Illinois), and L. R. Shoben (Missouri), made by Miss Phillips, general secretary of the Y. W. C. A. of Lakewood, N. J. and Mrs. Lydia C. Smith, who attended for Kansas. Many of those who attended the service expressed opinion that the Y. W. C. A. looked so beautiful as on this occasion. The parlors were adorned with flowers and beautiful flowers in the anthony between the windows as a place which were the words, "Dear Is Reason." Those in charge of the buildings were Miss M. E.

The pupils of the musical department of St. Francis' Xavier School gave a rental on Thursday, March 13, which was well attended by parents and friends.
