Leading Negro Newspaper NAPIER RESIGNS AS U. S. REGISTER Refused to "Nim Crow" His Office as Ordered by Treasury Needs DEFIES ADMINISTRATION 10L. XXVI. No. 43. When Assistant Secretary Williams Refused to Rescind Order Mr. Napier Tendered Resignation. If Negro Succession Napier He Will Have to Agree to Separate the Clered and White Churches in his Office. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. WASHINGTON, D. C. July 23.—Because the Treasury Department instructed him to issue an order calling for the use of separate toilets by his white and colored clerks, James C. Napier has tendered his resignation as Register of the Treasury. Mr. Napier resigned as register last week, immediately after the Treasury Department ordered him to introduce "Jim Crow" methods in his office; but it was only the first of this week that became generally known he had given notice that he no longer desired to hold office under the Democratic administration. For possessing too much self-respect to submit to the order to introduce "Jim Crow" methods in his office, Mr. Napier is receiving the congratulations of scores of admirers. There is no one in public life who is any more of a gentleman than Register Napier. He does not talk and write so much about "manhood rights," believing that "actions speak louder than words." When Mr. Napier received word over the telephone from the Treasury Department to instruct his colored and white clerks to use separate toilets he immediately went to see Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. He was informed that Mr. McAdoo was out of the city, but was given an audience by Assistant Secretary John Skelton Williams. Mr. Napier attempted to show the assistant secretary why there should be in "Jim Crowing" in his office, but as Williams comes from Virginia he refused to resend the order. The thing that he would have to be at the head of a department where Neatwater Jim Crowed" Mr. Napier tendered his resignation. If a Negro is appointed to succeed Mr. Napier, what is not likely, he will get the position with the understanding that he "Jim Crow" the members of his race. The Vardaman-Tillman element is in complete control at Washington, the capital city of the United States, and there is no telling what these sensationalists will try to do—if not stopped them.

Campbell Cheeson as New Superintendent of Union Rescue Home - Personnel of Board Enlarged - Funds Asked For to Help Carry on Work. A movement to broaden the scope and activities of the Union Rescue Home, which is a temporary home for unfortunate and delinquent colored women and girls, has been launched. Miss Grace P. Campbell has been chosen superintendent because of her peculiar fitness for the position. The personnel of the board has been changed to some extent and enlarged. On the board are the Rev. F. A. Cullem, the Rev. W. H. Brooks, Fred R. Moore, Wilford H. Smith, Miss Maybelle McAdoo, Miss Roa Harper, Mme. Marie Jackson Stuart, Mrs. Georgianna Robinson and Mrs. Martha Roberson. Counselor Smith is chairman of the board and Miss McAdoo secretary. The new superintendent of the Union Rescue Home has had much experience in social work. For the past three years she served as probation officer in the Court of General Session, sustained by the Urban League, and is still retained by the judges of that court as its probation officer. She is also acting parole agent for colored female prisoners at the State Prison at Aphurn, N. Y. The Union Rescue Home was incorporated September 2, 1909. At this time the institution is badly in need of funds, and an appeal is made to the citizens of New York and elsewhere to send in financial contributions. Although located in New York, the home agent cannot be looked upon as merely a local institution. This is especially true in the case of paroled girls and women, some of whom belong to other cities in the State. The officers of the home state that it should also be remembered that a considerable number of delinquent colored women and girls on parole are born in Southern cities and have subsequently found their way to New York. The present quarters of the home are at 64 East 133d street. Miss Campbell resides at 54 West 134th street. SOUTH CAROLINA WOMEN HOLD SESSION Special to The New York Am. FLORENCE, S.

Wilkinson, Orangeburg, president; Mrs. J. H. Levy, Florence, first vice-president; Mrs. Amy Androva, Sumter, second vice-president; Mrs. A. L. DoMoon, Charleston, third vice-president; Mrs. L. A. J. Moorer, Orangeburg, recording secretary; Mrs. D. L. Frazier, Spartanburg, corresponding secretary; Mrs. C. D. Saxon, Columbia, treasurer. Over $1,600 was raised during the year for charitable purposes. The next session of the federation will be held at Sumter. INNOCENT MAN KILLED BECAUSEOFFAKESTORY Trouble in Texas Because White Woman Tells Unusual Tale About Having Been Assaulted by Negroes—Chief of Police and Sheriff Refuse to Believe Woman— Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Houston, Tex., July 22—One innocent colored man has been murdered and several Negroes have been arrested as the result of an unusual tale told by Agnes Engel, a white woman, 23 years old, 1416 Velasco street, who claims to have been criminally assaulted by four Negroes while her husband, William J. Engel, looked on. The police say they do not believe the Engel woman, whose versions of the alleged assault widely differ. She laughs and jokes with the police about the alleged crime, and her husband does not seem to be the least perturbed. Both Chief of Police Davison and Sheriff Hammond have reached the conclusion the Engels' story is without foundation. However, they are unable to assign a motive on the part of the Engels for telling the story. Shortly after the alleged crime Engel armed himself with a gun and said he would shoot the first Negro who made a "crooked move." Now he tells conflicting stories about the alleged assault, one of them being how he asked one colored man for a cigarette while the other three were attacking his wife. Police Officers Henry Woods and Norfleet Hill have been charged with murder. While scouring the neighborhood searching for the Negroes alleged to have committed the assault upon Mrs. Engel, both shot at Dorris Tunson as he ran from a house and he dropped dead with a bullet piercing his brain. Woods shot twice and Hill once. Dr Green later removed the bullet from Tunson's brain and learned it was fired from Woods' gun. Both Woods and Hill claim Tunson tried to kill Woods with a knife and that Woods' coat was shaved. WANARA ENTERTAINMENT DELEGATES for you. Your. You. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 23—John Wanamaker, the greatest merchant prince in America, has arranged to entertain delegates in attendance to the coming meeting of the National Negro Business League in the Egyptian Hall of his Philadelphia store, at 5 o'clock Thursday, August 21. This is an honor never before extended any body of colored people. MORE "JIM CROWING" BY U. S. GOVERNMENT Colored and White Clerks Are Instructed to Use Separate Toilets. Many of Them Are Applicants for Political Jobs and Do Not Find it Convenient to Speak Out for the Race. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 23.—One week ago to-day the Democratic administration here inaugurated another "Jim Crow" policy—that of insisting that the colored and white clerks in the departments use separate toilets. In the Treasury Department signs have been placed over the doors of the toilets which read: "White men" and "Colored men." "White women" and "Colored women." This new segregation order may seem ridiculous to those on the outside, but those on the scene are regarding the move on the part of the Government to segregate the races seriously. The radical southern Democrats are in the saddle, and they are so drunk with power that they are likely to do anything to humiliate the Negro. So long as they put into operation "Jim Crow" orders they do not care what ludicrous spectacles they make of themselves or the Government. The colored Democrats—Bishop Alex Walters, the Rev. W. Waldron Trotter of the Boston Mudscrew, DuBois and other Negroes who yelled loudly for "manhood rights" during the Roosevelt and Taft administrations—have failed to register their protests against the policy of "Jim Crowing" colored clerks in the departments. The point has been raised that the erstwhile clamorous colored Democrats are housing again because it would be very indirect on their part to criticise the Democratic administration while looking for political pobs. The blatant Trotter, during the Roosevelt and Taft administrations, directed most of his energy toward upbraiding the Republicans for not giving the Negro a square deal, according to his way of thinking. Now the Bostonian has become as silent as the tomb in the advocacy of his "manhood rights" doctrine and has ceased to assume the role of a spokesman for his race. In fact he is giving much of his space to trying to convince Negroes that the wholesale "Jim Crowing" colored clerks in the departments in Washington is being exaggerated, and those brains about the Democrats are to blame for the segregation of races. Many colored clerks object to being treated as if in Mississippi of Georgia and assert that they will not observe the steps over the toilets. Some of the colored people who do not work for the government have announced intentions of visiting the Treasury Department and showing the officials that they do not record the new order seriously. NEGRO LONGSHOREMAN HONORED AT BOSTON Albert Workman, J. E. Porter and T. P. Woodland of New Orleans, and prominently associated with the leading longshoremen organizations in the gulf states, were visitors in New York this week. They were en route to New Orleans, having attended the annual session of the International Longshoremen Association, held last week at Boston. Although there were but eleven delegates present the colored longshoremen were given recognition at the election of officers Henry Gillstrive of Sabine. Tex. was chosen fourteenth vice-president and T. P. Woodland of New Orleans nineteenth vice-president. The visitors are enthusiastic over the success of the Longshoremen's Realty Association, which was incorporated only last December for $50,000, and whose half-ready owns property valued at $30,000. To a representative of The Age they branded as false the charge made a few weeks ago to the Key Arnold Watson that he is being prosecuted by the members of the Longshoremen Protective Union Renewal Association because he protested against white men dancing with colored women at a picnic given under the auspices of the association. According to Messrs. Workman, Porter and Woodland, the Rev Mr. Watson was ordered to vacate his quarters because he was in arrears in his rent. It is claimed that animus prompted the minister to make the statement. FORCOLORED ONLY FORWHITE ONLY Rosek THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1913.

The famous Tuskegee Institute band is expected to give a concert on the last day. Every day has been filled with interest since the school opened. The series of lectures given by Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University were of a high order. Two of the lectures given will appear in the leading magazines of this country the coming fall, one in Education for September. The Rev. L. G.

Time with the view of return to Africa when his course is completed Saturday evening, July 19. a record was given under the auspices of Miss Ethel B. Suriges, musical director of the Summer School. ORHOOD CLUB INVITE 4, 1913 MID-SUMMER AT MANHATTAN GARDEN Owing to internal dissensions and failure to comply with the specific instructions of Gov. Sulzer that certain things be done, the business of the Emancipation Proclamation is practically at a standstill. The commissioners are now waiting to see what Gov. Sulzer intends to do as he has not communicated with the commission since he received a letter from the commissioners declaring that they would not remove James D. Carr as vice-chairman and elect J. Henry Taylor as his successor as he had advised. From Alpany the report comes that Gov. Sulzer's next move will be some what sensational and that by next week a number of familiar faces will be missing in the commission. The Wood Carr faction, which controls the commission, is backed by Tammany Hall in its stand to ignore the wishes of the Governor. The State's chief executive knows this, and as he gave out an interview this week sowing he would night Tammany Hall to the bitter end, few believe he will overlook the imminal attitude of the Tammany Hall commissioners without showing resentment. A report is in circulation that Prof. W. E. B. DuBois is thinking of tendering his resignation as a member of the commission. It is said that the libel suit brought against him for $5,000 damages by Summer H. Lark has caused him no little annoyance; then he is not thought to be as influential with the commissioners as in the beginning. Those who maintain that Prof. DuBois' influence is on the wane refer to the indifferent manner in which his plans were received at Monday evening's meeting of the commission. Although he submitted his ideas Monday evening, no favorable action was taken on them. Before the meeting several members were going about telling friends that Gov. Sulzer had written the commissioners a letter which was in the nature of an apology for ordering them to choose Commissioner Taylor as vice-chairman. However, the communication failed to materialize. Those who know Gov. Sulzer well declare that the idea of the Governor making apologies to the commissioners after they had informed him they would not do as instructed is pre-osteous. Rumor has it that efforts to influence Commissioner Taylor through his wife are being made. A position has been offered Mrs. Taylor, it is said. Together with the lack of funds and the personal difficulties some are experiencing, the commissioners find sailing very tempestuous.

THE NEW JERSEY COMMISSION Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, Chief Organizer of New Jersey Emancipation Commission, Writes About the Work in Arranging for Exhibition, Special to The New York Ass. TRENTON, N. J., July 23.—The Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, chief organizer, employed by the New Jersey Emancipation Commission, who is engaged for the purpose of arranging an exhibition and celebration to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, has submitted the following statement concerning the work of the commission. The New Jersey Emancipation Commission was retarded by not being allowed to appoint organizers except from an eligible list obtained by public competitive examination under the Civil Service Commission. This involved a delay of several months, but the appointments were lifted entirely above political influence. On the other hand, it made it impossible to spend the first $10,000 legitimately between the time the organizers were appointed, September 1, 1912, and the time this was required, November 1, 1912. However, the organizers did not have the money of the money, but the commissioners, and the organizers were not commissioners, and we feel the commissioners did the best they could and would rather bear the blame of not spending the money than of having spent it for the sake of getting rid of it because the State had appropriated it. The salaries were regulated by the commissioners The difficulty is, first, that all who feel they ought to have a little of the State money, whether they do anything or not, could not get it, and, second, the majority of Negroes are so poorly paid that when one of the race receives a few dollars above the average, though most any ordinary white person is receiving could be except they are the beneficiaries, it is too much. Organizers Traveled Over 20,000 Miles The organizers divided the State among themselves, and while there was some neglect of duty no set of people as a whole have more consciously and faithfully performed their work. The organizers have traveled over 20,000 miles, holding meetings, gathering statistics and collecting exhibits from nearly every city, town and rural district of the State. The work has been difficult because each place has its own interests, which come first and because each leader has to selfless leaders felt they had not had the recognition their standing and importance demanded. Thirty-seven leagues have been formed. These in turn appoint committees on trades, inventions, needle work, millinery, dressmaking, tailoring, professions, business, real estate, music, education, etc. Inquiry blanks were sent out to ministers, teachers, farmers, business men, fraternal organizations, aged persons and Grand Army veterans, which brought in facts ELEVATORMEN AND HALLMEN ORGANIZE Elect Permanent Officers Monday Evening—Installation of Officers to be Held in August—Membership Expected to be Large—William L.

Wright, of Savannah, Ga. president of the Colored State Fair held annually at Macon, Ga., was in New York Monday in the interest of the coming fair, which is scheduled to be held for ten days, commencing November 4. Prof. Wright says that during the seven years the fair has been in existence over $100,000 has been spe- cial for premiums and other work; that eighty-five persons are employed an- nually and that the average attendance is from 5,000 to 10,000 persons empty.

War and Agricultural departments. Ten per cent. dividends are declared nearly every year on the stock. Has Largest Circulation PRICE FIVE CENTS DUEL-OVER A WOMAN;1 DEAD Early Morning Fight for Affections of Lucille Jones Ends Fatally WOUNDED FOUR TIMES James Snyder, with a Knife, Gets Worst of Desperate Encounter with Joseph Curry, who Uses his Gun Man Meet in HalfWay and Engage in Dual—Snyder's Body in [at] the Morgant; Curry is in the Hospital. Enmity aroused by desire for a woman's favor, extending back to the days when all the parties were living in Savannah, Ga., and continuing after James Snyder, Joseph Curry and Lucille Jones, the object of their affections, come to New York to live, resulted in the death of James Snyder, who was shot four times Sunday morning by Joseph Curry in the hallway of 414 West 30th street, after an all-night social in the apartments of Mrs. Fannie Taylor, of the same address, with whom Snyder and the Jones woman had rooms. The social was held Saturday night, and from the statement of Mrs. Taylor singing and dancing was indulged in until about 3 or 4 o'clock Sunday morning, with an accompaniment of whisky guests. He left when the party broke up, but returned about 7 o'clock. He was admitted into the kitchen, and, according to statements made by some of the convivialists who were still there, Snyder began to question Curry concerning his intentions with regard to Lucille Jones. This led to a quarrel between the two men. Snyder it is said, drawing a knife on Curry. Women Try to Prevent Trouble. Julia Lewis and Daisy Lloyd, who boarded in the apartment joined with Mrs. Lloyd in trying to present a row. Curry drew a revolver, and, covering Snyder with it, backed him out of the door into the hall. In his efforts to follow Curry, Snyder threw the three women, who were holding him, loose, one falling over a sofa, one over the stove, and the other over the stationary wash tubs. The apartment is only one flight up, and Snyder got loose and followed Curry into the hall before Curry could get out of the front door. From all information obtainable it appears that Snyder attacked him with the knife, and the men had a hand-to-hand struggle in the hall. Snyder was big and strong and succeeded in getting the better of Curry in the conflict, as is evidenced by Curry's condition. The affray was brought to its tragic end when Curry finally brought his pistol into play, shooting Snyder once in the forehead, twice in the chest and once through the heart. Death followed instantly. Detective Firm of the West 327th street station was sent to investigate. He found Curry on the doorstep bleeding from several bad stab wounds about the face and arms. The revolver, with all five chambers discharged, was found in Curry's pocket. In reply to the detective's query as to where he had received his wounds Curry told him to "look in the hallway and see what the other fellow got." Curry was arrested and sent to Bellevue to have his wounds treated. Snyder's body was sent first to the Morgue, and later was turned over to Undertaker N. B. Sterrett. Ir. 325 West 41st street, for burial. The funeral will be held some time Friday from the undertaker's parlors. Curry is held charged with homicide NEGRO VOTERS WANT JUST RECOGNITION. Special to THE NEW YORK ACR. BALTIMORE, Md., July 23. It is most likely that influential Negro voters of the city and State will demand further treatment for the race at the hands of leading Republicans and Progressives. A movement is on foot to opt out an amalgamation of Republicans and Progressives, and committees looking toward that end have been appointed. A subcommittee has been appointed to draft a platform, and a general get-together meeting has been planned for August 14. Two members of the race -- Dr. Frinek Lyon and Joseph P. Evans -- are on the platform committee. A meeting of leading colored men may be held here shortly in order to determine exactly what the race would demand from the leaders in the coalition movement.

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

The tradition of the war commissioner goes on for many experiences in one of the only places in land and past in an unplugged over an embankment to avoid a collision with anotheranchorage and the frantic efforts of an angry horse of Arabian breed after to jump into the President's automobile; a steady stream of appointments of Southern Democrats running between the White House and the Senate, only one Negro being so far among them, that of Dr. Ruckner of Indiana to be Minister to Liberia; legislation in Congress on the tariff and financial ridges deadlocked on Democratic "differences of opinion," with open threat to probob the session until the meeting of the new Congress, March 4, 1914, with incidental discussion of a need of a summer capital in the Blue Ridge Mountains, "right in the bosom of the Mother of Presidents," and the postal service being shaken to its foundations by radical changes of all sorts, segregation of race colors being the most pronounced and stenchful. But the troubles of Secretary William Jennings Bryan and the State Department are, like a Chinese drama or an endless letter chain puzzle, still occupying the front of the stage. Last week Secretary Bryan announced at Heardson, N. C., that he was unable to live on his salary of a $1,000 a month, or $12,000 a year, and that he should spend his six weeks' summer vacation on the Chautauqua lecture circuit, in which he is said to be the highest paid of all the lectural freaks since paralysis gagged the venomous tongue of Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina. The announcement startled the country, as Mr. Bryan is reputed to be worth $500,000, which he has earned during the past sixteen years by denouncing corporations and the idle rich and advocating the practice of the simple living. The champion of the poor man says he can't live on $1,000 a month, when the average poor man is glad if he can earn $40 a month to live on! The scandal has reached Congress, a resolution having been introduced in the Senate asking the President to state how much it will cost to keep the restless Secretary of State off the Chautauqua Circuit and in the State Department, where urgent business demands his attention and where he has spent but a short time since March 4. It is not a question of salary, it is a question of freezing Col. Bryan out of the State Department, with which we are in enthusiastic sympathy. Freeze the demagogic politician out. It was for that purpose that President Wilson warmed him into the State Department—to degrade him as a demagogue, a popular Democratic idol, and to kill him as a 'possible candidate for President four years hence. To do this the President has done all the work of the State Department, and is doing it. The Secretary is poor, not in cash, but in the political death the President has forced upon him. It is a good work President Wilson is doing, to kill politically the great Democratic marplot who made it possible for him to be elected President by corrupting the Nation with most of the new fangled policies that Col. Roosevelt grabbed and died with politically as President Wilson will die with them in the next election. Let the political demagogues and marplot strangle each other as the Roman Marius, Crassus, Pompey and Caesar did. But, God save the Republic, and fetch it back to Republican righteousness, as it was in the beginning, before R. B. Hayes became a prophet and William McKinley a martyr of the prostitution of Republican principles to plutocratic greed and venomous race prejudice. GOV. SULZER IS "TRUE BLUE". William Sulzer of New York has more of what is and courage in his make-up than any former Governor who signed the first bill that presaged the convictions in the public schools of New York State. Thematic ways proved that he had no sympathy with the sense of "the gold braid" and "silver spoon" high-minded in private, who imagine that they "are better the vulgar and burdensome to themselves in the graduation we must have, as some reach the point; but in the public service, in the administration the equal of all the others, as to burdens and be the essence of democratic, republican institution of which weakens or destroys the national interest so is, apparently, inherent in civil governance. It static and courageous. He stands for the Federal Congress on an account of race, color, prejudice. Empire State has been placed beyond that creature William Sulzer, who deserves admiration and a high public office today. Gov. William Suller of New York has more of what is termed "true blue" democracy and courage in his make-up than any former Governor since Grover Cleveland, who signed the first bill that presaged the convulsive death of separation of races in the public schools of New York State, and who in many other public ways proved that he had no sympathy with race prejudice and the insolence of "the gold braid" and "silver spoon" high-brows, in the public service and in private, who imagine that they "are better than other men," and make life vulgar and burdensome to themselves in the futile effort to provit. Social gradations we must have, as some reach the palace and some the poor house, but in the public service, in the administration of the laws, one citizen is the equal of all the others, as to burdens and benefits. The principle is of the essence of democratic, republican institutions, the impairment or destruction of which weakens or destroys the national inspiration and spirit. So is, apparently, inherent in civil government of and by the of the plot in class on on account of race, color, prejudice, condition and the Empire State has been placed beyond that crime weakness Governor William Sulzer, who deserves admiration port as the dealer in high public office to-day.

What the congregation desires is seldom considered. The pastor may be square with the congregation but if he is not square with the bishop "there's nothing doing." The members of Mother Zion should stand together as one church. They should not allow the arbitrary, and vulgar disregard of their desire and best interest by the bishop to split them into two parts as to membership or drive them out of the connection, as a church. Their church was here long before Bishop J. W. Hood and it should be here long after him. The pastor of a church should not be removed as long as the people of which are satisfied with him and desire his ministry. Some of the questions in no who determine the situation at Washington, brought them great distress, but—The Dependent Emergency! Our volunteers fails us to describe the sort of public policy that is being shaped for the nation at Washington in all matters affecting the Negro people by the Virginia President who escaped into the White House through New Jersey. A friend on the go in Washington writes us: "To-day signs are being placed over the doors of the water closets in the Treasury Department, marked: 'White men here, Black men there, and Colored women' here, 'White women' there! Suburgation is complete in the Government departments here. How will this separation order be carried out in the North?" Another friend in Washington writes us: "What do you think of the awful situation here? Negroes who voted the Democratic ticket now hang their heads in shame! Never in the history of the Government since the war, not even in the days of the Cleveland administration, was even a suggestion made to separate white and colored employees of the Government in the departments and on public works; now the separation is well nigh complete! This is a more serious matter than the "Jim-Crowing" of us on railroads, steamboats, as that is a matter of State regulation, not necessarily sanctioned by the Government. Think of separation signs in the departments of the Federal Government! Negroes everywhere should let President Wilson know of their indignation and resentment at such a betrayal of their rights and interests. They should protest loud and long." So they should. Another friend in Washington writes us: "I never expected to live to see such a condition. Segregation is complete down here!" The honest public opinion of the nation should be aroused and appealed to against the demoralized Democratic race segregation policy in the public service, not only in the departments in Washington but throughout the country, inaugurated and prosecuted by the Wilson administration. Public meetings of indignation and protest should be held everywhere. Let the indignant voice of the Negro be heard throughout the land! THE JEW WINS. The Jew wins! Col. Herman Bendell, of the special board of enquiry, appointed by Gov. Sulzer to investigate the charges of Sergeant Samuel Littman, that he was denied promotion in Company B. of the Forty-seventh Regiment, because he is a Jew, found the charges sustained by the testimony and recommended that Col. Barthman be publicly reprimanded. The Governor has declared that he will order the disbandment of Company B, unless Sergt. Littman shall be promoted by it in the regular way. To this threat a prominent officer of the National Guard said that "both the investigation and action of the Governor were illegal." Perhaps such actions are always so regarded "when his ox gores the other fellow's." The same officer, for example, said further: "Gov. Sulzer's condemnation of Col. Barthman is a punishment and a governor, or even the President, has no more right to punish an enlisted man without a legally conducted trial than he has to assault him in the street. Col. Barthman acted entirely within his rights. He may have been unaware in his expressions, but he committed no offense." We see. But when President Roosevelt discharged a whole battalion of the Twenty-fourth Infantry for the alleged shoot-up of Brownsville, one of the stink holes of Texas, without legal process or authority in law, National Guardmen for the most part sustained him in the dictorial action; so did also the Federal Congress and Supreme Court, and a major part of the public and newspaper opinion of the nation. Chickens, even of the mongrel breed, come home to roost. They are born that way. "That which" a nation, a State, "a man soweth, that also shall he reap." The Jew wins! How? By fighting for what is his all of the time. The Negro will win! How? By fighting for what is his all of the time and "the race is not to the swift, nor yet to the strong, but to him that endureth unto the end." Yes: the Jew wins! It sounds good to us, who are on the firing line to win. THE EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. Is it, or is it not, to be regretted that the Federal Congress failed to authorize the appropriation necessary to make a proper celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Emancipation? That is a question about which wise men may differ, when the extent of violence of temper and conduct that Negroes carry into most of the great big things they undertake to manage is taken into consideration. Wherever one or more dollars are gathered together in one place and Negroes have the management, there war will be found, not always of the loud-mouthy sort only, but often of the sort that requires the attention of the police. The amount of war of this kind that goes on merrily every week, from the trustee board of the little church around the corner to the meetings of the big Emancipation Commission in the middle of the block, may be a necessary education for work of like character to come but discourages those interested in the success of work already here and should be done. On this account, wise men may reasonably differ as to the failure of Congress to authorize a national celebration of the great occasion which never can occur again, the next having to be the centennial celebration. Let us look into this celebration matter. So far as we know, only four States have authorized a celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of Negro emancipation; they are: New York State, with an appropriation of $25,000; New Jersey, $20,000; Pennsylvania, $100,000; Illinois, $25,000. The Negro population of these four States, in no one of them is not much greater than that of the District of Columbia. Their increase above 50,000 has been of Southern and West Indian people during the past twenty years; they came seeking freer conditions in which to live and educate their children rather than better conditions in which to earn wages and build up business enterprises; on this account it would have been easier to collect and make a more creditable exhibition of Negro programs in the past fifty years in even Virginia than in either or in the four States put together where celebrations have been authorized. This is a plain statement of the case, and we make it now, in advance of the celebration, so that any disappointment over the showing that may be made by any one or all of the four States, may be explained without any discredit to the race. Then, again, the thoroughness of the exhibition possible to have been made has been seriously impaired by the shortness of the time in which to arrange for it, by the smallness of the working appropriation, and by the scandalous strife among those designated to spend the small allowance, on the one hand, and those on the outside who imagine that they should have been given the management of affairs. This was particularly true in Pennsylvania, where outsiders hampered the work from the beginning and even Bendell, of the special board of enquiry, state the charges of Sergeant Samuel Litt- ton Company B. of the Forty-seventh Regi- nary the charges sustained by the testimony to be publicly reprimanded. The Governor disbandment of Company B. unless Serge- tion regular way. To this threat a prominent that "both the investigation and action of such actions are always so regarded s." The same officer, for example, said Barthman is a punishment and a Governor, or even an eminent judge without a legal entitlement. Col. Barthman acted entirely within his presence, but he committed no offense. Sevelt discharged a whole battalion of the great shoot-up of Brownsville, one of the process or authority in law. National did him in the dictorial action; so did also court, and a major part of the public and ickens, even of the mongrel breed, come away. "That which" a nation, a State, "a thing for what is his all of the time. The for what is his all of the time and "the the strong, to him that endureth unto to us, who are on the firing line to win. strove with the Governor and Legislature to withdraw the appropriation and recall the commission. In New Jersey the commission lost $8,000 of the $20,000 appropriated because it failed to get organized and working last year, the $8,000 for 1912 reverting to the State while, according to report 1, there is nothing to show for the $2,000 spent in 1912, it being said that the commission may be short of money to make the final display at Atlantic City in September. The failure to organize promptly last year and make the most of the time and appropriation, it is understood, was due to wirepulling among those who desired to dominate the commission and handle the appropriation. The salary account has also been liberal if not generous; an unavoidable handicap among Negroes, as they are in the main too poor to give their time or make large contributions to public exhibitions of race or other development. We appreciate this phase of the matter much more, perhaps, than many others do, who think that the other Negrd has nothing, not even life, which he should not be glad to give freely to the race, while the race itself is willing to give nothing in return; not even a penny a head to defend a vital principle of law before the Federal Supreme Court. That is the record. Matters appear to be in better shape and working more smoothly in Illinois than in Pennsylvania, New Jersey or New York. Here in New York the commission has been convulsed so continuously since its appointment by warfare among the members to control the expenditure of the money and determine the character of the celebration that very little has been accomplished toward the real purposes of the celebration. The news columns of Title Aor have shown sufficiently the character and responsibility for the deplorable conditions without requiring a repetition of them here. It is to be hoped, however, that the commissioners will stop fighting among themselves and begin at once to do the work expected of them and needed to be done, in order that the celebration may not be a great big farce. In that way it has been going headlong. What have the Negroes of New York State done in the past fifty years and what have they got to show for it? That is the work of the commission, and $25,000 is hardly enough to find that out and make proper display of it without the bickerings and waste of time and the proposed lugging in of foreign displays of all sorts from Bahama Islands to the headwaters of the White, Blue and Black Nile, where the hopeful natives have not as learned "to cast down the buckets they are," as Dr. Washington sed it long ago, in his famous At-address.

"O. Democracy, Democracy, how many crimes are committed in thy name!" Great preparations are being made to make the meeting of the National Business League, August 20. in Philadelphia, one of the most successful ever held. Philadelphia is very near New Yorkers, and a great number of New Yorkers, we doubt not, will attend the meeting. Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, it is said, rescinded the order that an officer should sit at the head of the sailors dining tables when his attention was called to the fact that there are very many negroes in the Navy. Nor laborers in the yards are not allowed to eat their lunches in the same shed or room with white laborers. Great is Josephus but after what manner of greatness? Mr. Isidor Singer insists in the Sun that Christopher Columbus, the alleged discoverer of America, was a Jew of Galilea, and not a Spanish or Italian. The Jews were so persecuted in the time of Columbus, Mr. Singer gives, that it was necessary of them to conceal their race identity wherever they could do so in order to escape persecution. There is another new claim that a party of Scandinavian Norsemen discovered America before Columbus and a splendid case for the Jew, who does not hesitate to lay claim to any good thing in dispute which may or may not belong to him. The Christian Recorder is courting the wrath of the preachers who insist upon having a string of learned degrees by opposing the abuse of them. It says: "One of the most potent factors now working for the deterioration of the intellectual advancement of the Negro is the conferring of degrees. It would be well for the race if for the next generation no school among us conferred a degree of any sort." This is the correct viewpoint, but highly unpopular. Editor Wright is a "B.D. Ph.D." himself, but earned them in the usual way in scholarship tests. When he gets to be a "D.D." he will have earned that also in the regular way. Colonel Issue Lawrence, who is eighty-four years old, old enough to be doty and toothless in his vain imaginations, and president of the American Tariff Reform League in New York, will write a letter of 20,000 words, or twenty columns of newspaper space, in which he makes a few suggestions and gives all sorts of advice. He thinks Colonel Roosevelt is "the biggest political figure in the world to-day, and will be the blake of the day to break up the Democratic party." He thinks President Wilson should appoint Mr. Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall as a member of his cabinet or that Mr. Murphy should be his own candidate or mayor of New York this summer, and the sorts of things may happen, if they want to, including Colonel Roosevelt and "the black and yellow peril." The three things, counting Colonel Roosevelt as the queerest of the three, so in the year have occupied the largest portion of newspaper rainbow chasing. Colonel Lawrence, it seems to us, is a living peril to himself. LITTLE STORIES OF SUCCESS "THE MAN WHO FAILED." Back in the days when the cooking for the students at Tuskegee was done out of doors in pots, and the principal entrance requirement was a desire to make something of himself, he came there to get an education. He was financially poor and intellectually dull. Examinations he could not pass. After struggling along for several years, he accumulating a lot of examination scores, he decided to go to work and help educate his sisters. Although he had failed in his literary subjects he had nevertheless got an A. He had to use his hands. He had learned to cook in the world he went and begin work at this trade. As soon as he had earned a little money he placed three of his sisters in school at Tuskegee and his brother Augustus, who had graduated there, paid their expenses—two of them for three years and one for four years. In the meantime Jallous had succeeded at his trade and gone into business for himself at Montgomery. Alas, he was a builder. Here also he was successful. He did millions of dollars worth of work. No job was too small or too large for him to make a bid on. If he did not have a contract of his own he was not above working for some other contractor, and he was always busy. He has superintended the largest buildings in Montgomery. Among the buildings the erection of which he has superintended are the Exchange Hotel, at a Church, at a cost of, of the First Baptist National Bank Building, at a cost of $55,000, and the Bell Building, at a cost of $55,000. Mr. Perdue also assisted as foreman or assistant foreman in erecting many of the important Tuskegee Institute such as the Prince William Chapel, the Library, Rockefeller Hall, the Academic Building and the Millbank Agricultural Building. It is hardly necessary to say in bussing that Mr. Perdich has accumulated a good home in Montgomery, far away from agressive days every black man in the South with any forestslight is investing some part of his earnings in property. An interesting and somewhat remarkable thing about the career of Mr. Perdich is that he is the measure of his success, is that he is the measure of the faculty at Tuskegee Institute Twenty-three years after he had left a literary failure he was invited to come back as an instructor in carving. Thus it was that the man who failed succeeded and returned to the scene of his failure a success. BUSINESS LEAGUE The local Negro Business League of Philadelphia has issued a splendidly printed program detailing its plans for the entertainment of the hundreds of delegates who are expected to attend the four-fifth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League to be held there Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 29, 21 and 22. The Common Council of Philadelphia has appropriated $5,000 toward the expenditure of the meeting, including the all of the meetings of the league are to be held in Musical Fund Hall, Locust street, above Eighth, except the Wednesday evening session, which will be held in the Library and Locust streets. This particular meeting will be addressed by Mayor Rudolph Blankenburg and President Booker T. Washington, John Wanamaker, the merchant prince, who is in office and the National League to be present and extend greetings on the same evening. The general outline of the official program follows: Wednesday morning, August 20, session of clock in Musical Fund Hall, Locust street, above Eighth. Thursday morning, August 21, session at 10 o'clock. Thursday afternoon, August 21, industrial street parade, 3 to 5 o'clock. Thursday afternoon, August 21, annual trip around the city, 2 to 5 o'clock. Thursday afternoon, August 21, Hon.

Friday afternoon, recess. Friday afternoon, banquet and reception to be tendered members of the league at Horticultural Hall at 9 o'clock. Friday afternoon, August 23, 1 to 7 o'clock, a steamboat excursion down, then up the Delaware River to Burlington Island Park will be given in honor of the delegates. Every detail requisite to make this unexcellent experience will be accommodated in charge. The steamer will accommodate 2,600 persons. Delegates intending to be present are urged to send notice of such intending delegates to the committee on homes, John W. Harris, League headquarters, 1438-40 Lombard street, for convention headquarters, and mail intended for delegates may be sent to this address. Delegates are perfect arrangements for Pullman or tourist car parties whereby the journey may be made to Philadelphia in comfort and in congenial form. Delegates intending to be present are urged to send advance enrollment of $2 at once to Emmett J. Scott, correspondent secretary, Tuskegee Institute, who will furnish any additional information that may be needed or desired. ALABAMA CONVICTS CANNOT NOW BE SHACKLED (From Montgomery, Ala., Advertiser.) Sweeping changes in the rules governing the management of county and city convicts, in which provisions are made that no convict of this kind may be shackled unless ordered by the State Board of Corrections, or that convicts may be leased under any circumstances, have been made by Governor O'Neil, following a conference held between the executive and members of the State Convict Board. It is also provided in the new measure that the county convicts shall be regularly inspected hereafter, when worked on the road they shall be given the services of a physician hired by the county, that moveable hospitals and bathing facilities shall be provided, that county convicts shall have the same kind of food given to State convicts, that them shall be no overcrowding, that the convicts shall have the benefit of stringent sanitary regulations. Under the code as adopted by the last code commission, the State Convict Board had absolute control and management of county convicts. The county convicts. The the convict leave system. Now the legislature in November, 1907, passed measures repealing this control, but provided that all laws and rules of the county convicts be maintained, the management of county convicts and that no convicts could be worked on the roads except under the rules prescribed by the State Convict Board. No county could sentence a convict to more than two years at hard labor. Prohibit. Leasing. Rules prohibiting the leasing of city convicts will strike directly at Montgomery and other large cities. Montgomery now has a contract whereby convicts are leased to Vivint, the Govormer has instituted this matter and there is no law authorizing such leases. When county convicts are leased it shall be the duty of the contractors to return each convict at the end of his term to the county in which he was convicted. If the convict is not convicted those rules gives the State Convict Board the right to annul the contract and order the removal of the prisoners to some other part of the county. In the opinion of the Governor, it was the purpose of the Code Commis sion to prevent the ville arising convicts and convicts who are leased. Positive orders have been sent to the Governor to the Probate Judges of the counties of the State requiring them to send in at once the list of names of the convicts and the length of their sentences, together with the list of convicts appointed. He has asked for a list of the labor agents who employ convicts. The effects of these new rules when carried out, will mean that all shoppers will be removed from city and county convicts, that they will be provided with more sanitary sleeping accommodations that will be supplied by the inspectors who have authority to force the rules, that they will be prompted medical attention and with the benefit of hospitals, that they will have better food and clothing in the future than in the past and the evils resulting from the laws will be reduced to a minimum. The Hampton Institute Press issued in next pamphlet form Some Elements Necessary to Race Department, an address delivered to the Tuskegee commencement, May 11 by Robert R. Moton, and General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, Jr. Head address, 1813 delivered by Harry H. Warner, Headmaster of the Abney (N.Y.) Academy. We shall have more to say about these splendid addresses. THE ATLANTA AND TULSA BOOKS A few months ago the Negro Odd Fellows of Georgia dedicated in Atlanta their $100,000 brick building. Passing through Atlanta not long ago I was urged to visit this structure; for its fame as a landmark in Negro progress had already come to me from many sources. In every way I found that this building represented the rapid upward march of the colored people of Atlanta and of Georgia at large. Negro ambiition conceived the vision, Negro brains devised the plans. Negro money paid for the brick and mortar and Negro hands and brains plated the building there. It is worth a trip to Atlanta for any colored men to see this building. He cannot go inside without feeling inspired with a new and enlarged confidence in his race. Fifty yeas ago had any man predicted that the Negroes of Atlanta would have erected such a building, he would have been considered a fit subject for an insane asylum. No person who has not been inside of this building can imagine what fine appointments it has. Its tile floors, marble counters, fine elevator service, its corridors ten feet wide, faced with Google marble to a height of ten feet. It is marble columns, its two big 100- AT THE SUMMER RESORTS Hotel Rhinecliff, Aubury Park. Hotel Rhineliff, the noted Aubury Park beauty for colored people, has had an extra lovely week in housing many guests coming from many parts of the country, among whom were Stephen Hilton and wife, W. J. Jackson of Philadelphia; George H. Fleming the well-known New York insurance man, Miss Rucelle Leftwich, Mrs. Lillian Johnson, Dr. Qnley, of New York City, B. W. Williams, New York City, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Terrell, of Stamford, Corn; G. E. Ferris, of Mitaka, N. J., and Miss May Rederson of New York. Whitehead House, Asbury Park. There was one round of pleasure last week at the Whitehead House. Everybody seemed willing to indulge in all of the many pastimes that have been enjoyed. Ghosts are as follows: The B. W. H. Brooks, Washington, D. C. the R. E. W. D. Daniels and family, W. D. Ollie, New York; Mrs. Emma Thomas and daughter Jennie of Elizabeth, N. J.; Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Mosley, Hedgefield Park; I. F. Harman, New York; Mrs. Ella Horah D. Lisle Allen, Philadelphia; Clarence Johnstone and James D. Carr, New York. Visitors over Sunday over Mr. Brion of New York; W. T. Parker Newark; Mr. Churchman, of Onsite, Mr. Jackson, Philadelphia; Chas Brion and Mr. Leftwich, New York YOUNGSTOWN O Yorktownsville, O., July 22—Mrs. Boston Tillery, who has been on the sick list at the home of her sister, Mrs. Pink Ward, 5 Wallace street, is able to be around. John Sutton is able to be out after a good illness. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Dallon, of Winslow, in the city and will probably take here. Mrs. Alice Johnson, 365 East Wood, in Philadelphia fever. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Johnson and grandmother Sunday for Wellsburg, W. Va., on the bedside of their daughter, Mrs. Frank Bay, who will undergo a visit this week. Mr. Jessie Parker is able to be out, chasing the daughter of Mrs. V. Strauss, 920 West Federal street, is ill with cold fever. Mr. Rodger, Dillard, of Cleveland, will tell the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Lee Mache street, last of the week. Mr. Hollom Boggess, Mrs. Win Sims, Mrs. Jannie Pool, Mrs. Charles Jack- son Mrs. Hattie Harper, Thomas Lon- som William Saunders, Capt. Will- son horse-power steam engines, its splendid electric lighting system, all conspire to overwhelm one with the bigness of the conception and execution yet so rare among colored people. Fifty years ago it is doubtful if there was a set of Negroes in the whole world who could do what the contractor, Mr. R. E. Pharrow has done in constructing such a monument of Negro progress. But the building is not there merely as a monument, though when it comes to inspiration I doubt if it does not serve a better purpose than most structures effected to such ends. It is there serving in a most remarkable and beneficial capacity. It houses nearly all the larger Negro businesses in the city, thus giving the Negroes of Atlanta a business center and the Negro business man direct contact with men of his calling. Here on the first floor are located the Negro bank, a tailor shop, a barber shop, a cafe and two soda fountains. Forty-two offices on the second and third floors are occupied by lawyers, doctors, real estate and insurance men; while the fifth and sixth floors are given over to lodge meetings, more than fifty lodges. I am told are accommodated in these rooms five nights each week. In other words, the building thus serving as a center, is not a dead weight, but a paying proposition. Therein were those who planned and agitated such a structure long-headed. They see how useful Collins attended the twenty-sixth annual session of Knights of Pythias in Springfield, O. Mrs. Rachel Parker, who was taken to the hospital last week, died after an operation. A number of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Green, of stop 25, Sharon line, spent Sunday out there and had a fine time. An old fashioned dinner was served to twenty. NEW HAVEN CONN NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 23.—The Rev. J. J. T. Battle of Middletown; Conn., was in the city for a few days last week visiting his mother at Savin Rock. He returned to Middletown on Thursday, Wednesday evening, July 23, the Zion A. M. E. Church, of which Mr. Battle is pastor, gave him a grand reception. Mrs. Alice Johnson. Webster street, who has been ill for some months, went to the New Haven Hospital Monday 14th. She is reported to be improving. On Sunday, July 27. St. Paul's A. M. E. Church will hold their quarterly conference. Bishop J. M. Ramsay, of Philadelphia, will be the preacher. Pierce H. Davis, Jr., Bristol street, won a fine punch set at the moving picture show, Friday evening, July 18. Mrs. Klugh, the wife of the Rev. Dr. D. S. Klugh, Park street, pastor Immanuel Baptist Church, is critically ill at her home. The 1st Separate Co., C. N. G., the only colored company in the state spent a week in Niantic on practice duty with other troops. They returned with the local battalion Saturday, July 19. The soldier boys arrived in heavy marching order. Lumber Co. Contributes Y. M. C. A. Special to THE NEW YORK AND HAYESTON-VAUGHAN, N. C., July 22. Fifteen miles south of Vaughan in Warren County is the plant of the Green Leaf Johnson Lumber Co., employing between two and three hundred men who live in camp. Recently the industrial department of the Y. M. C. A. sent representatives to the management of the company and through their local manager, R. L. Hayes, and his assistant, Clease Tharrington. It was permitted to open a branch of the Y. M. C. A. at the camp D. G. Jacox of Norfolk, Va., principal of the John T. West high school was appointed by the North Carolina Industrial Committee of the Y. M. C. A. to take charge. He began work June 16 and on July 4 the opening of the well equipped industrial Y. M. C. A. took place. The building containis an such a building would be and what profit it would bring. Practically every room in the building is rented and is bringing in a handsome income. The stores on the first floor yield a rent of $2,740 per year, the forty-two offices $6,510, the lodge rooms $3,300, making in all a rent yield of $12,550-11 per cent, on the $100,000 investment. On one of the floors of this building, I think it is the third, are located the rooms of the Atlanta Independent, the State of Georgia and to a large degree the United States spokesman for Negro Odd Fellows. The editor of the Independent, Mr. Benjamin J. Davis, is in connection with the Odd Fellows Building to be envied and congratulated. Long before the foundation of such a structure was laid, or a site chosen, Mr. Davis week after week and month after month devoted his columns to the subject of an Odd Fellows building, and when it was once begun his enthusiasm, ingenuity and courage kept hone and assurance in the breasts of all. I think Mr. Davis and his co-workers do not realize what a great service they have done. They point to it with pride, because it is in Atlanta, but such a structure belongs rather to the whole race. And as the real beauty and use of the building become better known the whole race will eagerly come forward and offer Mr. Davis and his co-workers a vote of thanks. assembly room, reading room, bath room, women and boys' room and general secretary's office. The manager, Mr. Hayes, gave a free excursion from Vaughan. Dr. J. B. Watson of Atlanta, Ga., international secretary of the Y. M. C. A., delivered the principal address. This is the first industrial Y. M. C. A. to be established for colored men in the world and its work will be watched with interest. The Green Leaf Johnson Lumber Co not only gives the building and supplies, but pays the salary of the general secretary also. The Rev. B. Harper, Henry Riddick, Secretary Jacot, the Rev. S. C. Clanton, Mrs. Richardson, a leader among the women of this section, and the Fork Chapel choir took part on the program. PHIL TO TOM. (From the Hopkinsville Saturday News) (With due and profound apologies to the author of the school-day poem, "Twenty Years Ago.") I've wandered to the White House. Tom: I sat beneath the tree. From which the plums were wont to drop Into my hand of you and me. But few were left to greet me. Tom— Too few to make a show— The Democrat have fired 'em out Just ninety days ago. The old White House is altered some: The big man is replaced. Be a narrow one in brain and brawn. So thin you'd think he's laced; And o'er the portals of the house— Ah, Tom, it makes me sigh— I fixed a sign on which I read: "NO NIGGERS NEED APPLY!" —Phil Brown. WALTER F.

Henson, Agent THIS BOOK FREE --- WALKER TO HEAD BIG BILL MONSTER SHOW PLANNED. MONDAY evening, August 11, is destined to be historic in the animals of colored theatricals, when a stage performance will be given at Manhattan Casino under the auspices of The Frogs which will be extraordinary in more ways than one. On the bill will appear the most glittering array of colored talent ever assembled, headed by the stars of the colored theatrical profession. The appearance of Bert A. Williams and Aida Overton Walker on the same stage during the evening will be a noteworthy event. Such prominent performers as S. H. Dudley and the Kemps will help make the evening the biggest and brightest the public has seen for a long time. Through the courtesy of Klaw & Erlanger, Bert Williams will take an active part in the performance as an entertainer. It will be the first time Mr. Williams has played before an audience composed principally of colored playgoers for many years. For some time past efforts have been made to get the great comedian to participate in some of the entertainments given by The Frogs, but all attempts have been fruitless, owing to his absence from the city with some theatrical organization. After August 11 the possibility of seeing Mr. Williams under similar conditions will be remote. Aida Overton Walker has kindly consented to appear on the mammoth bill, and her presence will help to make the entertainment one to be long remembered. Miss Walker is deeply interested in The Frogs and in the objects of the widely known organization. George W. Walker, her late husband, was the first president of The Frogs. There is a possibility of Miss Walker and Mr. Williams doing a turn together just for old times' sake. S. H. Dudley, the popular comedian of the Smart Set Company for the past eight or nine years, will temporarily lay aside the affairs of his new vaudeville circuit and come to New York to show that he is as funny as ever. Others who have announced intentions of taking part are Julius Glenn, leading comedian of the Black Patti Company; Bobby and Mae Kemp, Henry Troy, Alex. Rogers, Henry Creamer, Harrison Stewart, Andrew Copeland, Jesse Clipper, Wilbur Sweatman, the Porto Rico Girls, with Maggie Davis and Louis Saulsbury; Harper and Gillam, William Robinson of Cooper and Robinson, the Sambo Girls, with Edgar Connor; Hodges and Launchmere, Kelley and Catlin, Sam Lucas, dean of the colored theatrical profession; Wesley Jenkins; a scene from "The Old Man's Boy" by the Negro Players; a special grand production from a famous colored show; Jesse A. Shipp with a cast of stars in the Lime Kiln Club; Charles H. Gilpin, W. H. Vodery and the Exclusive Society Orchestra, under the direction of James Reese Europe. The advisability of securing a theatre to give this extraordinary entertainment was first considered, but it was finally concluded that in view of the exceptional bill to be presented it would be best to select Manhattan Casino, thereby enabling hundreds to witness the performance who would find it impossible to secure admission in any of the local theatres. At the Manhattan Casino the price for general admission can be put at fifty cents. Dancing also can be indulged in after the performance. Jack Johnson on the Stage. Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion of the world, is appearing in the revue at the Folies Bergeres, Paris, France, where he is throwing a medicine ball and boxing four exhibition rounds. From the stage he announces that $5,000 is deposited at the box office for any man who succeeds in standing up before him for ten rounds. There have been no aspirants for the $5,000 to date. Johnson opened his engagement at the Folies Bergeres Monday, filling the vacancy made vacant by reason of the absence of Anna Held, who was injured in an automobile accident. The colored fighter is a big hit. In connection with Johnson's stage debut in Paris the Paris correspondent of the New York Sun says: The theatre was crowded, but few Americans were present. Johnson got a hearty welcome. Johnson accordin g to johnhar report is to receive $1,200 a night, which is probably a good investment for the management. He will remain for the eleven nights until the theatre closes, when he will make a tour of the provinces. Johnson wore an American flag around his waist, which will need considerable reduction in size before he can go into a searing pine battle. His white wife was one of the keenest spectators from a stair box until the final scene when he joined the fighter on the stair wore a white evening dress and a straw hat. The couple trot for a few minutes audience seemed to en than Johnson's pretensions. There were some in heard during the diap were nothing whore the applause, which performance is so to be greatest with the audience Members of his race in the United States wish Johnson much success on the French stage. They also hope he will use more judgment abroad than he did at home. His recent experiences ought to have done him a world of good. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Cooke' Society Band, K. B. Cooke Pier, R. I.

Disregarding the handicaps entailed by lack of stage equipment and some minor changes in the personnel of the company, the Negro Players appeared at Manhattan Casino Tuesday evening July 22, in a benefit for the Hope Day Nursery, and added many jewels to an already sparkling crown. Using as their vehicle the little playlet by Rogers and Creamer, "The Old Man's Boy," and "sweet charity" as their object, the pretty girls and a "fort men sang and danced with sweetness and vivacity, and in their efforts attained a perfection beyond their previous renditions. Mice Gorgas, the charming little soprano from Philadelphia, in her solo "My Hero," from "The Chocolate Soldier," sang with an intensity and depth of feeling that aroused the audience to enthusiastic appreciation. Her voice is pure and sympathetic and she handles it with precision and authority. Bessie Kinney Payne, with her thrilling and resonant contralto, sang Tosti's "Good Bye" and Nevin's "Rosary" These songs are peculiarly suited to Miss Payne's style, and she rendered them with good effect. A seeming cunning of temperament seemed evident, especially in Tosti's song, but her personality overcame this slight lack. Little Ruth Cherry improves with each appearance, and her dancing epitomizes the "poetry of motion" Harrison and Vailo Siewart, in their policeman sketch and Andrew Copeland, in his singing numbers, retained their places as established favorites. The singing and dance of the chorus was, as always, a feature. It is really wonderful, the volume and harmonic beauty of the chorus numbers, when one considers the small number of voices. At the conclusion of the play the theater was cleared and the folks danced till Tay's dawning. JOE JEANNETTE TO APPEAR AT LAFAYETTE THE FIGHTER Champion Jack Johns is not to hit the only colored heavyweight to take up the stage as a temporary occupation of low leannette, the pride of hoboken, has also decided to canter before the floblights in a specialty. Jeannette expects to sail for England with a ten week to fill theatrical engagements. He will appear in some of the principal music halls. Arrangements have been made for the Hobokenite to make his first stage appearance at the Lafayette Theatre next week. Commencing Monday, July 28, Jeannette will appear for one week only at the Lafayette and will show the Harlemites how defy he can use his best books in histrionic combat. At each performance he will spar three rounds with Frank Moran, one of the hopeful "white hopes." Joe Jeannette is one of the Big Four of present-day pugilism. This famous quartet is composed of Johnson, Lungford, Jeannette and M. McAulay, and these four colored heavyweights seem to have things very much their own way. Even LAFAYETTE THEATRE The Lafayette Theatre has a genuine big time act on the bill this week in the Six Musical Spillets, who are really last winter, and since returning to Amer musical and deserving of any such reference. This act scored a big hit, abroad jea has been playing in the leading vaudeville houses of the country. The Six Musical Spillets are tilling a weeks engagement in the Lafayette and are a gift honoured him. The act should serve as a strong drawing attraction through out the week. There is much to be concerned in the act of Wintrey and Sipora at amongst the skirt is too long draw out. Wintrey is a young comedian whose methods of manification in jams are similar to those of S. H. Dudley. This start with his shadow, while not new, is laughable. Sipora is the same well dressed straight man, who pays much attention to wardrobe and also works hard to please. The sister team, while deserving of sympathy, should remember that play goes also need sympathy on a hot evening in July, when compelled to watch an act in the class with decomposed her fault. Eventually they were "canned" (not for consumption) Tuesday. The other girls on the play CRESCENT THEATRE The Wee-Us Three featured the bill a the Crescent Theatre the first half of the week. The sound of the cast has been changed since the act last played the Crescent. Sam Gaines having taken the place of Tom Cross. Mme Fairfax continues to own applause by her vocal efforts and also playing. Sally Brown is a little white singer who always makes good when she plays in Harlem. All her songs go over. Closse and Chase is a new act which opened the bill. They work well to together. The young lady ought to get more modern costumes. TO START REHEARSALS will start rehearsals or the coming season in Newport, Va. on August 14. S. Tutt Whitney and Homer Tutt will be seen in a new production next season, which will be called "The Wrong Mr. President," a musical comedy in two acts. Charles E. Barton has provided the show with new scenery and costumes, which are said to be quite attractive to the eye. There will be twenty original musical numbers in the show, ranging from ragtime to grand opera. S. Tutt Whitney expects to have one of the great set pieces in recent years. Theater to late includes S. Tutt Whitney, I. Homer Tutt, Blanche Thompson, Lally Bird Green, Russell Smith, Alfred Stramber, Charles Olson, Ora Donald, Sammy Grace, Michele Russell, John A. Frydell and wife, Will Jackson, Lawrence Williams, Frank Jackson, Grace Frydell, Ethel with Johnson out of the roaming some "white hope" would have to be found to dieheat Jeannette, Langford and McVea. It is reported that when Jeannette goes to Europe he will seek to arrange a match with Johnson. Jeannette's last appearance in the ring was Tuesday night of this week, when he met John Johnson, another colored heavyweight, at the Atlantic A C. Although John Johnson managed to stay the ten rounds with Jeannette, he belonged to the badly damaged cools class when the contest was over Jeannette won the decision easily. Manager Benjamin Nibur of the Lafayette Theatre plans to make the coming week at his house a big one. On the bill with Jeannette will appear Duke Johnson and Mae Weils, who recently returned from a successful vaudeville engagement in Australia and the European Laurels, an entertaining singing and dancing act. Devotees of pugilism are looking forward to Jeannette's week's stay at the Lafayette Theatre for joyous anticipations. Marahall, Emma Trout, Nagatha Joplin, Hattie Akers, Nina Marshall, Isaac Williams, Henry Bracken, Bessie Edginton, Lulu Gaskins and Edith Carrington. Charles Luck Roberts will be musical director and T. L. Corwell, manager. WILLIAMS AS "FRIDAY" Klaw & Erlanger have announced intentions of putting Bert A. Williams out in a big production in the fall, which will be a mammoth musical extravaganza of "Robin's Cruise." The comedian will be in the role of /friday. The idea faces great possibilities, and should show Mr. Williams at his best. The play will be presented some time in November. ST LOUISTHEATRE OPENS The doors of the Theater L.

BIG CROWD ETS BAND The Tuskegee Institute Band of Tuskegee, Ala., with N. Clark Smith as conductor, was in Chicago last Thursday on its annual tour in aid of the institute. The band, which is composed of fifty pieces, is the largest colored band in the world, and its conductor is one of the best known colored musicians and composers in the country. A musical festival and ball was given Thursday evening at the Seventh Regiment armory, West Thirty-Fourth street and Wentworth avenue, as a benefit to the band and the Provident Hospital, West Thirty-sixth and South Dearborn streets. Nearly 8,000 people crowded into the building, and it is expected that nearly $4,000 will be realized from the concert. It is asserted to be the largest gathering of colored people that ever met in Chicago. Friday the band was the guest of Northwestern University, and gave a concert there in the evening. The program rendered by the band included several original compositions by the conductor, and also numerous folk songs and plantation melodies written for the occasion by members of the band.

THE Lincoln Giants and the American Giants of Chicago were to have met in a fivegame series for the colored championship. But, three games were played, as the managers of the respective teams spent the rest of the time arguing. The Lincoln Giants won two games and the American Giants one. Vaudeville and Moving Pictures. Bill charged twice a week. Performances continuous 2:00 P.M. PRICES: EVENINGS 10 CENTS; MATINESS 5 CENTS. Last Thursday a large crowd was on hand to witness the first contest, which never materialized. Pitcher Wickware or the Mohawk Giants was the bone of contention. It seems that Manager McMahon of the Lincoln Giants went to Schenectady, N. Y., the first of last week and engaged Wickware's services to pitch for his team in the Lincoln Giants-American Giants series. According to Manager McMahon he gave Wickware $100 in advance for his services. Thursday afternoon before the game was called Manager McMahon spied Wickware all tagged up in an American Giant suit. He inquired of the pitcher why he was not in a Lincoln Giant uniform. Wickware promptly told him that he was going to pitch for the American Giants. McMahon protested to Ruhe Foster against Wickware playing on the American Giants in view of the fact that he had given him money, but the manager of the American Giants insisted that Wickware do the pitching for his team. The two managers argued for over an hour, when the game was called off. Fans included to be fair find it difficult to side with Wickware or regard him as a hero. To accept money from one manager and then want to play for another is a piece of reasoning which does not favorably impress those who believe that one should keep his word at all times. Just such conduct of Wickware's will do much to injure the progress of baseball among colored clubs. The final game between the American Giants and the Lincoln Giants was cancelled at Olympic Field Tuesday afternoon because Rube Foster objected to Earle, captain of the Royal Giants, playing in the place of Gans, the regular fielder of the Lincoln, who was sick. A large crowd was on hand to witness the last contest.

Manager McMahon seems to have developed a habit of borrowing players from other clubs which should not be permitted. All clubs should carry a number of good utility players which would not make borrowing necessary. "Cyclone" Williams was the hero of the series, winning the two games in which he pitched against the American Giants. In Friday's game, which resulted 8 to 3 in favor of the Lincolnens, he would have shut out the visitors if accorded proper support. In the first game Sunday the Lincoln Giants won, 5 to 4, with Williams in the box. The American Giants won the second contest, 6 to 5. About 4,500 persons were in attendance.

This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washington for the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and it is a most illuminating book. For there is no one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the conditions of the man farthest down like the author of "Up From Slavery;" and the great beauty of it is that it is filled with such optimistic observations founded on solid fact and deduction as "Bad as conditions are in some places, I don't think that I visited any place where things are not better now than they were some years ago." His journey was a journey among the saddest spectacles in European life. As he says: "Some people will think, perhaps, that everything I was looking for was commonplace or bad, and that I avoided everything extraordinary or worth while looking at. My only excuse is that I was in fact, not looking for the best but for the worst. I was hunting for the man farthest down." The inspiration of the book is that, having found the man farthest down, he shows an abundance of hope for him.
