TO TAKE POSSESSION EASTER One of the most profitable real estate done transacted in the Harlem section in years was consummated last week when the Corporation of Mother Zion A. M. E. Church purchased the property owned by the Church of the Redeemer at 153 W. 130th street, for $22,000. The property, consisting of church building and two lots, was bought in for the corporation by Misa Mildred Helm, a young white woman of Yonkers. The property acquired by the Corporation of Mother Zion A. M. E. Church is situated in what has been known as the "restricted section." The vestrymen of the Church of the Redeemer were among the first to sign the covenant a few years ago binding the white owners in the district not to rent, least or sell to Negroes. For nearly a year the property of the Church of the Redeemer was on the market and various colored congregations sought to acquire it. But the rector and vestrymen were not backward in giving out the information that the property was not to be sold to Negroes. Made Offer of Over 100,000 It is reported that several months ago one colored congregation was so eager to come in possession of the property that they sold it and own it. Negroes had, but rather than sell to Negroes the offer was turned down. A few weeks ago, when the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother Zion Church, talked with Rector Dyer about the sale of the property, the Rev. Dr. Dyer not only declared his opposition to selling the church property to colored people but aired his opinions on the race question in a manner exceedingly uncomplimentary to one regarded as a christian gentleman. In speaking of the future plans of Mother Zion Church the Rev. J. W. Brown made the following statement to an Azz representative: "We do not expect to move into our newly-acquired church edifice until Easter." In the meantime extensive alterations will be made, to cost about $10,000. In purchasing the property we also got the building, pews and pipe organ, but we intend to build galleries, as the present seating capacity accommodates seven hundred persons; the roof will be raised and electric light and heating plants will be installed. "As many of our members live in the Harlem section and in The Bronx, the opinion is unanimous that there will be a large increase in membership by moving to Harlem. The corporation contemplates selling the old church, which is at 127 W. 89th street. The Church of the Redeemer found it necessary to sell its property owing to a marked falling off in its membership. The late worshippers of the church will join the different Episcopal churches in Harlem. ARTICLE IN "AGE" FINDS LOST JAMAICA WOMAN JAMACA, N. Y., Jan. 28.—Through the publication in THX Acz, January 22, that Miss Rose Fantus had disappeared from home, it was discovered that she had been picked up by the police of Brooklyn as a vagrant and sent to Blackwell's Island for a term of six months. Miss Fantas was arrested in Brooklyn, January 29, two days after her disappearance, and Magistrate Hylan of the 27th District Court announced her to the Island, notwithstanding she gave information as to who she was and where she came from. Her physical condition is such that she has been confined to the hospital ever since going to the Island. One of the attacks saw the story of her disappearance as printed in The Ace and wrote the family acquainting them with her whereabouts. Steps are being taken to have her returned to the home of her sister, Mrs. Sarah Brooks, 159 Pacific street. COTTRILL TO BE REMOVED IS THE CURRENT REPORT Washington, D. C., Jan. 28--The report is current here that the Administration has decided to remove Charles A. Cottrell of Ohio, as Collector of Internal Revenue for Hawaii. Mr. Cottrell is very popular in Hawaii and an officer will be made to have him retained. However, the opinion is prevalent that the Democrats will send a Southerner of the Vardaman stripe to succeed Cottrell, and that, as in the case of the present Minister to Haiti and others, the new Collector will manage to forget his "strong" color prejudices. The following officers were installed: Robert Banks Crumpler, Virginia, president; James M. Stockett, Rhode Island, vice-president; David Wella, New Jersey, secretary; James Breddie Morris, Georgia, corresponding secretary; Lennel Alphonso Wilson, District of Columbia, treasurer; Alfred Henry Coulter, Virginia, chancellor; Theophilus Bentley, Illinois, chancellor; salford-at-turns; executive commission; Chloe Harrison Crumpler, Virginia, chairman; James Anderson Richardson, District of Columbia, and Mortimer Mellorne Harris, Alabama; membership committee; James M. Stockett, Rhode Island, chairman; Josiah Thomas Settle, Tennessee, and Alva Lillistone Bates, Alabama; house committee; Lennel Alphonso Wilson, District of Columbia, chairman; Thos. Harris Reid, Virginia, and Charles Ernest Lane, District of Columbia. After the installation, refreshments were served. The guest of honor was Secretary George William Cook of Howard University, an alumnus of the Law Department. FIND BALTIMORE WOMAN MASQUERADING AS MAN Special to The New York Times BALTIMORE, Md. Jan. 28. "James Allen, who has worn male attire since she was a girl, will have to wear female attire in the future on the order of the police department. Several years ago she was taken sick on the street and was taken to a local hospital, where her sex was discovered. She was ordered then to don female attire, but never obeyed the order. She became the prey of lawyers, according to her story, and they got $400 from her on the promise that she would be allowed to continue wearing men's clothes. When seen by a representative of THE Acz a few days ago, she was still dressed in the garb of a man, but said that she intended arraying herself in women's clothes. She bashfully admitted that she was a woman. "James said that she at one time taught school in Calvert County, Md. She was admired for the stunni- suits of men's clothes that she always wore, and attracted considerable attention at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, where she was a choir member and Sunday School teacher. The first James was a woman that attended a sation here.

TRIAL OF WHITE MAN FOR MURDER; JURY DISAGREES Austin, Texas, Jan. 27.—The trial of George Booth, white, for killing Officer J. H. S. Gaines, colored, last November, lasted one week and the jury, after being out over two days, was discharged by the district judge. It is reported that they stood nine and three for acquittal. The evidence was conclusive of a cold-blooded murder, but racial prejudice and sympathy were so strong that a verdict was not reached. The mayor and best citizens of all classes recognize that a "frame up" or plot was executed to kill officer Gaines. He was zealous in ridding the streets and dives of his district of the lewd woman, injuring the business of the dive-keepers. "THE AGE" A MESSAGE Portsmouth, N. H., Jan. 28.—Ernest E. Lee, Daniel street, is in receipt of a letter from his cousin who is stationed in the Philippine Islands, in which he enclosed a clipping from THE ACE.

ONE CENT R4660 BRILLIANT GATHERING AT FOURTH CRAFTY BALL TO WAGE ACTIVE CAMPAIGN Jacob Schiff Promises To Make Gift of $1,000—9-Year-Old Girl Gives $5 Gold Piece to Fund. From one thousand to twelve hundred people gathered at Manhattan Casino Wednesday evening, January 21, on the occasion of the Charity ball under the auspices of the McDonough Memorial Hospital committee, given for the purpose of increasing the building fund of that proposed institution. It was a brilliant gathering of the people of New York and nearby towns. The committee in charge of arrangements for the ball consisted of D. Ivison Hoag, M. D. E. E. Rawlings, M. D. St. Clair Jones, M. D. George W. Lytle, A. T. Robinson, D. D. S., J. R. Anderson Ph. G. E. T. St. John, M. D. Gustavus Henderson, M. D. E. L. Walker and A. S. Reed, M. D. This committee prepared an elaborate program as a preliminary to the ball, which was rendered by the following artists: Europe's Society Orchestra, James Reese Europe, conductor; William H. Tyers, assistant conductor; Mme. Lucas, contralto; Melvin Charlton, pianist; Felix Weir, violinist; Leonard Jeter, cellist; Richard Clarke, baritone. Fred Sterling, D. D. S., served as floor manager and supervised the dancing, which followed the conclusion of the program. Mrs. Vanderbilt Buva Tickets. Financial returns from this ball it is reported, will probably aggregate $500 to $600. A concerted campaign will be started immediately to augment the amount on hand from the previous efforts of the association. The first contribution to the fund was a $5 gold piece from little 9-year-old Constance Crocker, who was operated on for appendicitis July, 1913. Letters sent out prior to the ball drew responses from various sources. Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt sent an order for tickets to the amount of $20. A letter was received informing the committee that when plans for the building were matured and submitted John D. Rockefeller's secretary would take the matter under consideration for his employer. The voluntary offer came from Jacob Schiff of a gift outright of $1,000 if the committee raised $30,000. Tandy & Foster's architectural firm is busily engaged in developing plans for the building, which is intended to have at least one hundred feet frontage. To raise money for the erection of this building the committee of which Dr. Hoare is the head will begin an active campaign. It is hoped that $50,000 will be raised during 1914, which will enable the association to build one wing of the proposed hospital. The association office of Dr. K. A. Burke, president, Dr. C. G. Gorman, senior vice president, Dr. C. H. Hammond, chief executive officer, and the treasurer are composed of Dr. Hodge, Dr. Rawlings, the Rev. D. W. Drummond, Dr. Jones and Dr. Reed. The indies' auxiliaries are supporting the efforts of the doctors, one officered by Mrs. Turner, president, Mrs. Sarah Trott, secretary, Mrs. E. H. Tolliver, treasurer; and the other by Mrs. F. A. Brinkerhoff, president, Miss Helen L. Petiford, secretary, Miss Patsie J. Wilkins, treasurer. PICTURES OF HAMPTON SHOWN AT MEETING A meeting in the interest of the general educational fund of Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., was held Tuesday evening at Carnegie Hall, and was attended by representative white and colored citizens. Dr. William Jay Schieffelin presided. Addresses were made by Hon. Geo. McAneny, president of the Board of Aldermen of New York City, and Maj. R. R. Moton, commandant of Hampton Institute. One of the features of the program was the singing of the Hampton students, who rendered trade songs in costumes. Motion pictures depicting scenes at Hampton were shown. MORE THAN CENTURY OLD WOMAN SAVED FROM FIRE PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Jan. 28—The oldest colored person in the city, Mrs. Kate Whitehurst, aged 117 years, was saved from death by suffocation Wednesday night. January 21, by a policeman who rescued her from the burning home of her daughter, Mrs. Ida Mitchell. 2217 Oxford street.

Twenty-third Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference Is Well Attended Conference Adopts Declarations and Becker T. Washington Delivers His Annual Address. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan 27. The twenty-third annual Tuskegee Negro Conference held here last week was without doubt the most interesting in the history of that movement. Both the Farmers' Conference and the Workers' Conference were attended with more than the usual degree of interest and were farreaching in the practical results attained. The Farmers' Conference discussed and considered the improvement that had been made in farming in the past fifty years, a kind of retrospect of the past and a sort of self-congratulation over the progress that had been attained. In striking contrast to this, the Workers' Conference was a forward look, a review of not only what had been accomplished, but a consideration of what the future had in store for the Negro, and what he must do to bring about the realization of that hopeful feature. From a consideration of improvements in Negro farming the first day by the farmers themselves in which they were only interested spectators, noted educators and workers in Negro uplift generally turned their attention to the second day in the Workers' Conference to a frank, plain and outspoken consideration of the conservation of Negro health. At no other time within the history of the Negro race has so many good things been said, or the way pointed out so plainly, nor has the loss in the cold, matter-of-fact dollars and cents been so understood by the Negro people, as the opportunity at this conference afforded. "Progress" was the keynote of the Farmers' meeting; "Health" that of the Workers' Conference. Old Farmers Participate in Parade. The activities began Wednesday morning with a parade, which was by far the most representative attempt of its kind ever made by Negroes to teach them the lesson of the progress and to present a picture of what can be accomplished by intelligent leadership and methods in agriculture. The parade was led by the agricultural students of the Institute, members of the Short Course and Negro farmers of Macon. An old man with a cob pipe, steer, wooden, plow, represented the Negro farmer of fifty years ago; another old man appeared with a small mule and a scooter plow, followed by another with a small mule and a one-horse turning plow, and still another with a good mule and a one-horse turning plow. This portion of the parade was By reports it was shown that the trustees of the Board during the post war is responsible for the employment of 118 rural school supervisors in 119 quarters of the South. The States be- sided are: Alabama $1,52.90 Arkansas $2,675; Florida $1,798 Georgia $4,320 Kentucky $141 Louisiana $1,199.30 Maryland $620 Mississippi $1,375 North Carolina $1,82.50 South Carolina $1,115 Tennessee $1,645 Texas $1,335 Virginia $2,407 Total $31,042 Special teachers $1,220 Total for supervising teachers $4,262 The Board also has spent about $1,200 during the past year for building and compassing, requiring the counties to spread out of the public treasury in each case at least an equal sum. The total expenditures of the Board of Trustees are about $40,000 a year. Through the James Fund Board and its president working in conjunction with the University Commission, composed of representatives of all the Southern State Universities, a liberalizing sentiment in favor of the education of all the children of the South, black and white allie, is being promoted and extended. John T. Eaken, of Philadelphia, was elected to fill the vacancy on the Board caused by the death of the late Robert C. Ogden. Accorded itse composed of Dr. Tubman Williams, Hon. J. C. Napier and Maj. R. R. Moton was appointed to draft appropriate resolutions in memory of the late Robert C. Ogden, one of the first members of the Board. Difficulties of the Teachers. Dr. Dillard in his annual report, in speaking first on the work of the teachers, said: "With very few exceptions, they have done their work with an intelligence and devotion that deserve the highest admiration. It is hard for us to realize the conditions under which many of them have to carry on their work in passing from school to school. The mere problem of transportation is a difficult one. In many instances they depend upon the kindness of some patron of one school to take them on to the next. Some counties have made an appropriation for the traveling expenses. A few of the teachers own their team. Many of them walk long distances to keep their appointments, carrying with them their bag of materials. Looking over the whole range of noble pioneers and missionaries, I do not find any to measure ahead of these humble workers. "Six States—Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and Kentucky—now have State supervisors of the colored rural schools. This work is supported by the General Education Board, and it is proving to be of great assistance in our work in these States. The Jeanes teachers send monthly reports to these State supervisors, as well as to the county superintendents, thus strengthening the bond of co-operation, and making all the work more and more a part of the State organization." Need for Better Buildings. "Public school authorities can be counted upon to welcome co-operation in providing better buildings. There is a tremendous need of betterment. It is hard to imagine the rudeness and dilapidation of the buildings in which nearly all of the country schools are held. The city, town and village school houses for the colored children are often fairly good. But in the open country, where we profess to wish the people to remain, and where we profess to wish to train these country children to better country living, anything better than a disgraceful shack is rarely to be found for the school house. It should be remembered that, while the tens are going into the decent and sightly buildings of the town schools and the larger institutions, the ten thousands are going into the little country school houses, and that 9,999 of these 10,000 will never have the opportunity of seeing the inside of any other school. "The need in the South is still great for bringing to the front the better thought of our most intelligent and progressive people. I look upon this as our great Southern problem, of to-day. Politicians count relatively far more with us of the South than they do in any other part of the country. Public sentiment is more dependent upon the professional politician in the South. It is upon all other classes of public men, such as clergymen, educators and educated men of business. It is the politicians that have the louder heart in the public press. We badly need more voices from the thinkers who are not politicians, and we need a brave wise, commanding voice from some politician who is a statesman." pent from north to south or from east to west is open to emigration of colored folk, because the country has been divided up by European Governments and they do not allow emigrants to go there. The federal sovereignty of the African chiefs has become a thing of the past. These chiefs have no country any more. Emigrants leaving the United States of America on colonization enterprises to Africa (Liberia excepted) will be exchanging certainty for uncertainty. There is, therefore, absolutely no reason that a people living under an enlightened condition of things exists in the United States should embark upon a venture which is fraught with the greatest possible danger to their welfare. They had better stop and think." CHIEF SAM AND PARTY EXPECTED THIS WEEK The arrival in New York of Chief Sam, who has been promoting an African colonization scheme in the Southwest, is being awaited with much concern, and interesting developments are likely to follow. Chief Sam and his committee did not reach New York last week as was expected. At the offices of the Akim Trading Company, Limited, located in the Bishop Building, 271 W. 125th street, A. E. Smith, the local representative, issued the statement Monday that Chief Sam and party would arrive in New York Wednesday or Thursday of this week. According to the New York representative of the Akim Trading Company, Limited, he has on deposit in a local bank $50,000 instead of $13,000 which has been collected by Chief Sam to further his West African colonization scheme, and that the deal will soon be consummated with the Munson Steamship Company for the purchase of a steamer, which will be manned by a colored crew from the West Indies. The emigrants from Oklahoma and other parts of the Southwest are to be picked up at Galveston, and the steamer will set sail for the Gold Coast. Pettis Makes Charges Against Chief Sam Eward F. Pettis, president of the Akim Trading Company, has been consulting with the District Attorney and other local officials, and has preferred some serious charges against Chief Sam. The following letter has been received from Mr. Pettis: To the Editor of The Age: Kindly allow me space in your valuable column to borrow a few statements which appeared in your issue of January 22 under the The current is the first of the publics given the general interest to manner in which the Central Almighty Conference of the Independent Episcopal Church acted in the manner, making it all the more unreasonable, it is claimed, that Bishop Williams should send him to Washington or any other charge in the connection. It is also reported that the members and ministers in the Methodist Episcopal Church are considerably amazed at the appointment, and that the members of the Methodist Episcopal I wish to further inform the public that this company was not formed for the purpose of colonizing American Negroes in Africa, but was chartered for commercial purposes, which were accepted in January 1912, to January 1913. But Mr. Sam stopped the shipment of produce from Africa to New York without the payment or knowledge of the directions which a certain produce firm in London to sell to produce in Africa would our own stations in Africa, and strictly forbade this firm writing or making any returns whatsoever to the head office. This agreement was religiously lived up to by this London firm, and we were unsuccessful in our attempts to get a heart to work with the men we turned over the matter to our lawyer for adjustment. We wish those people success who are paying $25-for passage to Africa, but we advise them against it. We advise them against oped, where wages are extremely low, climatic conditions are as bad as in any or most countries, and where necessities of life, such as food and shelter, are excessively high. Those people are apt to be dumped on a shore which does not offer suitable housing facilities until they can make a start and then undergo man hardship amid no roundings because of lack of means to sustain them until a good start can be made. EDWARD E. PETTIS President Akim Trading Co. Many stockholder-of the Akim Trading Company are waiting to have a conference with Chief Sam when he reaches New York. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 27—After a year of strife and turmoil in Alabama in the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, beginning with the election of a new president to Miles Merioal College to succeed Dr. James A. Bray, accentuated by the charges against and trial for alleged misappropriation of funds of Bishop G. W. Stewart, the alleged actions of Dr. Bray for more than two years in the effort to defeat the success of the college, culminating in his resignation as presiding elder of the Birmingham district after the pronounced protests of a vigorous opposition; Colored Methodist Church circles are again disturbed over the appointment of the Rev. W. H. Nelson, formerly of the Methodist Episcopal Church, to the pastorate of Israel C. M. E. Church, Washington, D. C. Condemnation and censure both are leveled at Bishop R. S. Williams for this appointment, as well as for the strong letter which he has written to the Birmingham Reporter in behalf of Dr. Bray. It will be remembered that Dr. Nelson was expelled from the ministry and membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church a year ago for alleged immoral conduct involving his relations with a fourteen-year-old girl who was an inmate of his home. He is known to have been refused admittance in the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and also into Thirgood Memorial G. M. E. Church of Birmingham. Just how he joined the annual conference at Anniston is not known to the membership generally. His eligibility to assignment to an important charge in the connection, however, is seriously questioned by many in the church, who declared that if accepted at all, Dr. Nelson would have to come through the same channels as any other applicant, and cannot unite with the church this appointed, discredited and disowned by other churches, should be given one of the best charges in the connection over the heads of many ministers who have labored faithfully in the upbuilding of the Master's cause. It is held that in taking up Dr. Nelson and giving him an appointment in this way, Bishop Williams ignored the episcopal courtesy due Bishop Thirlcick who presided over the Alabama conference in the Methodist Episcopal Church. Also it is held that in accepting him after the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church had refused to accept him, the Bishop violated an agreement entered into tentatively by the federated council of Negro Methodist Bishops at their first meeting in Washington and ratified at the Mobile meeting. Surely, they ask, if a man is not good enough to remain in the Methodist Episcopal Church, why should he be sent to preside over any congregation in the C. M. E. Church? The fact of the charges against Dr. Nelson are thoroughly known, not only in Birmingham, art throughout the whole state. He has presented a pitiful spectacle as he has gone from place to place, seeking admission into conferences and churches to be deemed by them unworthy. The public service department has a publicity given in which the general minister in which the Methodist Episcopal Conference of the Missouri Methodist Episcopal Churchate in the ministry is all the work unreasonable, it is claimed, that Bishop Williams should good him to Washington or any other charge in the connection. It is also reported that the members and ministers in the Methodist Episcopal Church are considerably amazed at the appointment, and that the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, who have always been keenly interested in the fortunes of the C. M. E. Church, have cause to wonder at the indifference paid by this church to the character of its ministry. It appers to be the general belief that Bishop Williams has done the church no good by this Washington appointment. DETROIT NEGROES special to The New York Am Detroit, Mich., Jan. 27—Detroit Negroes have organized a secret benefi- cary society called the Grand United Order of The Wizard, the principal aims of which are to promote the best of Negroes and to work for the special betterment of Negro womanhood. The ritual is divided into six degrees and an attempt has been made to get away from anything similar to initiations used by any lodge of white men. That portion of the work which relates to the betterment of the women is better than the work that no race is better than its womanhood. One of the chief workers for the organization has been George H. Green of this city. RAILROAD PRESIDENT Special to IRA, New York, Ask Special to THE NEW YORK ACE CLEVELAND, JAN. 27. The secretary to the president of the New York, Chicago & R. Louis Ry, a part of the Vanderbilt system, is a colored man, Walter B. Wright. Not only is he secretary to the president, and therefore high in authority, but is also first member of the executive committee of the Veteran Association, an organization of employees of the road who have seen twenty-five or more years' service with that company. Mr. Wright, whose home is at Cleveland, Ohio, is a splendid example of the successful colored man whose merit alone won him success. BALTIMORE Y. W. C. A. CAMPAIGN FOR $10,000 Special to The New York Age BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 28. A campaign to raise $10,000 toward securing larger quarters for the Colored Young Women's Christian Association will begin here on February 10, on which date the white Young Women's Christian Association will start a ten-day campaign to raise $400,000 for a new building and other needs. The whites will also give the colored association a generous sum. Mrs. M. E. Murphy is president of the Colored Y. W. C. A. and Mrs. Hannah C. Smith general secretary. The association now owns and occupies the three-story building at 1200 Druid Hill avenue. TWO NEGRO DETEC TIVES APPOINTED Special to The New York Ag Washington, D. C., Jan. 27. -Richard H. Beckley and Robert L. Carroll have been appointed detectives on the Metropolitan Police Force, Maj. Richard Sylvester, head of the local force, and Commissioner Siddons are being praised by the Negro citizens here for recognizing merit, regardless of color. Both men have excellent records as police officers. LESSON OF PROGRESS IS TAUGHT, IN NOVEL PARADE (Continued from page 1) concluded with another farmer who drove two mules and a two-horse turning plow. Such features continued, representing successively each step in progressive farming, the four-horse gang plow, the disc harrow, a roller, a seed drill, a mower, binder, load of oats, thresher and gasoline engine, corn harvester, cotton stalk chopper, trans-planter, and so on, until all the modern-day machinery was exhibited to the thousands who witnessed the parade. Institute Represented by Floats. The various departments of the Institute work connected with agriculture were represented by floats. There was the orchard, canning factory, poultry, with girls dressing chickens, incubators. Then followed a swine herd, showing fine animals with students feeding them; two bulls and si xcowa, creamy float with girls making butter; the horse with girls making bread and jade; young males, a Percheron stallion, and four grade Percheron colts. On the veterinary float, boys were treating a cow; road-building and surveying was depicted, as well as agricultural book-keeping and instruction. An automobile laden with agricultural products bore the inscription, "Our Opportunity Today in the South." Representing the rural schools was a demonstration of school improvement, a section of rural members of the Macon County Farmers' Institute, and the Macon County Ministers' Union, and students of the Phelos Hall Bible School. It is hard to say which was the more interesting, the pageant of floats representing the agricultural work of the Institute, that portion of the parade showing the progress made by the Negro in his farming activities from his pathetic beginning fifty years ago, with a cob pipe, a wooden plow and a steer, to a full understanding of the uses of modern agricultural machinery, such as is taught at Tuskegee, or the plain, matter-of-fact recitals of the Negro farmers themselves of their struggles and achievements, of their hardships and success, as they toiled from slavery to independence by hugging to the soil. Heart to Heart Talk of Booker T. Washington. Equally interesting was the heart-to-tart talk of Dr. Booker T. Washington, who, in his commonplace and effective manner disregarded the spleners of the magnificent pageant that bein the conference activities and sought QUINADE QUINASOAP QUINACOMB he admires the simplicity of his life. He grew up in a small town in Iowa, where he grew up and lived in a plowed field. He sought to have them do more to put themselves on the way to absolute independence, to make themselves valuable assets to the community, and the forerunners of great material prosperity by constant industry, twelve months in the year on the farm, and by practicing common-ance economy. In his usual vigorous and emphatic manner he attacked the system of advances and sought to show the Negro farmer wherein he was not only losing himself in the constant pursuits of that practice, but that he was fast on the way to getting out of touch with the progress of the age. Many a Negro farmer could be seen in the audience who appeared to drink in every word and who seemed to realize that all the noted educator had to say about the wastefulness and misusefulness of having some man to live upon, when that man had at his command a sufficiency for the sustenance of himself and family, was perfect true. Following is the declarations of the Negro Conference, in part: "For the twenty-third time the Tuskegee Negro Conference says to the Negroes of the South 'Stay on the soil, buy land, improve your farm, have more gardens, raise your foodstuffs, build better churches and school-houses, lengthen your school terms, and have better equipped preachers and teachers.'" "The report made that 225,000 Negro farm owners have acquired 20,000,000 acres of land, an area greater than the land of the United States, instances of improvement in methods of farming, in building better farm homes, and in improving rural churches and schools, indicate that the advice of the Conference is being heeded. "There is, however, much room for improvement along all lines. Almost 80 per cent of the Negro farmers in the South still rent the soil that they till. A large majority of the farm homes are yet without gardens—too many of the stores. We are living in too few of the stores. We find that they are too few a tendency for a farmer to buy too much land. The Conference strongly advises the people when buying land not to buy more than they can profitably farm and successfully pay for. The Conference further advises that more attention be given to the business side of farming and that careful accounts be kept of all receipts and expenses so that each farmer may know whether he is making or losing money. "Every intelligent Negro farmer helps to advance the farming progress of the South; every ignorant Negro farmer retards this progress. The Conference, therefore, respectfully requests that through individual planters, state aid, and otherwise, more be done to improve Negro rural schools, to provide more agricultural demonstration agents to teach the farmers on the soil. All of these things will help to increase the efficiency of the Negro farmer." Waterbury Negro Business League. Special to The New York Acad.

A naval stores plant, railroad cross-tie industry and shipping of cotton from that port gives employment to many hundreds-of our people. A tendency of the boys to leave school and play, and loaf around the streets is notured and the carelessness of parents is given as the reason for this condition. NEWARK N. J NEWARK, N.

COLLEGE GRANDFOUND, R. C. Negro Farmers Attention Negro Farmers Attention Have you ever stopped to think that ever since the world began, everything has increased except land? Have you any idea how fast the population of this country is increasing? Do you know that every year, thousands of people from other countries are coming to the South and buying farm lands right from under you? Has it ever occurred to you that the price of land, in the South, goes higher and higher each succeeding year? Now wake up and listen to me, Macon County, Alabama, in which is located the great Tuskegee Institute, offers better opportunities to the Negro farmer than any other county in the entire South. If you want to be independent and stop paying rent, write to me and say so, and I will show you just how to make the two or three hales of cotton that you have been paying each year as rent, go towards buying yourself a farm in the best county of the best State in the South. Be sure to write at once, because people are snapping up these bargains, and you may be too late. The Rev. Mr. Dillard and congregation visited the Rev. H. Gale's mission January 18.

Terrell for another term as Judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, and made it a subject of conversation between Senator James Kirkman Vardaman of Mississippi and himself. Double is thrown upon the President's alleged generous wish because he talked it over with Senator Vardaman, whose opposition to Negro citizenship is infamously notorious. What has Senator Vardaman to do with it any how? Terrell is not credited to Mississippi, but to Massachusetts. The District of Columbia is not governed by State authority, but by Federal authority. Senator Vardaman said, after leaving the President: "The case was mentioned, and I was sorry to differ from the President about the negro. I think the President a great and wise man, but I do not believe the negro and the white man live together on terms of political equality in this country. Therefore the negro must be an equal office if he file office in terms of political quality with the white man." Why should President Wilson abase himself by consulting a male strumpet like Vardman about anything? It is not in keeping with the dignity of the Presidential office that he should do it, but rather that such disreputable Senators as Vardman should be made to understand that their presence at the White House is not desired. Judge Terrell has made an acceptable and creditible record as a Judge of the Municipal Court. The daily papers of Washington, none of them any too friendly and fair to colored people, concede that much. If President Wilson wished to re-appoint Judge Terrell he should have sent the nomination to the Senate and left it to such creatures as Vardaman to defeat confirmation of it, if they could muster enough votes to do so. IGNORANCE OF AMERICAN FARMERS. Is the American farmer the most ignorant, "very scarcely the worst, in the world," who "tattles on land as locusts, to devour everything before him, and moves on," getting "less than half of what the consumer pays for" of the problem he raises, with "political influence stillingly disproportionate to his economic importance?" The London Times, the most influential of English newspapers, thinks so; and that, too, in spite of the fact of "lavish expenditures on agricultural college" and the "study threat of the best European nomads." The Independent, one of the best weekly publications in the United States, is disposed to agree, with apologies, to most the London Times says upon this project. It maintains that our agricultural scheme is "a very raw propulsion," barely "half a century old," and that "in that half century it has worked wonders that could not have been worked out by the classical schedule." Our colleges, it is said, "have almost made farming a science, and led to a vision of a land where land culture will not only feed the people that are, but feed five or six times so many more, who are destined to be added to the present population before it is in a final conclusion that our work A manicure may advertise for a bookkeeper, and so usual them as a good rank to record the job. Sometimes, there are always men or more people working for the one job that may become vacant by death or disability, while hardly one of the ten such people ever think of or undertake to make a job of his own. That is to say, for every man who makes two blades of grass to grow there are ten penalties to devour it. But the single standard of excellence prevails throughout all of the human organism, as it does throughout animal, vegetable and other organisms that assist in a caseless process of decomposition and decomposition, by preying upon one another. The merchant had one question for all the would-be bookkeepers: "How do you correct a mistake when you make one?" Most of them did they erased it and were dismissed; at last one came who said: "I do not make a mistake, therefore I do not have to correct one." Of course, he got the job. The people who make the fewest mistakes, who work by the single standard of excellence, are the people who succeed and make employment for themselves and for others. Allice Ruth Dunbar, who is a master of English style, and who has done some excellent literary work, and who could do more to the general information and advantage, has a splendid piece of work, she calls "The Single Standard," in the January number of the A. M. E. Church Review, in the opening paragraph of which she says: The new year has begun; already the resolutions which we so bravely made have become weariness when remembered. For it, we the租楼 rose, the new half century is already on its way. And what resolutions have we made? Name? If none, why? And if any, suppose we add a few more to the burden of the page; if not a few, one, just one. It should be the single standard of worth, of excellence, in all things thought and done, because the higher one arrives to think of and do the portion of the world's work that falls to his share, the closer he will be reach to the desired excellence. Dr. Washington says his first success came when he was given a room to sweep at Hampton Institute and it passed inspection. He who does a small thing well has in him the capability of doing a large thing well. In another paragraph she says, enlarging the thought: Oh, my, we will do things, however, "Producer! Producer! Were it but the pitiful, infinitimal fraction of a Product, Produce it in God's Name! Tis the utmost thou hast in thee; and it thou, it then." And so we will write poems and stories, and sing songs and paint pictures and make sprites, but we will not take the world either to acclaim us as "Second Son of God," but we will take the world either to praise us as "What we have done stands the severest test of the absolute standard, we will be glad, and not in a hurry about it. And if what we have done does not, we will not be disgruntled nor angry, nor seek to prove that it must be good because a black man did it—we will be patient and try again; and if, perchance, the laurel wreath is not for us, we, too, will not be in a hurry. Let us be patient. It took the English people 500 years to produce Shakespeare, and he had to come through long years of waiting and fighting and wading of nations and peoples, and much mixed blood of Angle and Saxon and Celt and Norman had to be strained and filtered and mixed before even his race was made, and that took a thousand years, and then 500 more before he came. And we have an infinitely less difficult task to wait until our great men shall come to us. For we are grafted on a civilization that is not ours; in intricately mingled with a race that is alien to us; forced inheritors of a literature that takes no account of us, and yet contributing to make that literature better or worse, as the case may be—what an intricate and glorious Old Testament, and a due and just and nicely discriminating regard for the single standard. These thoughts are worthy to be treasured in the heart by all those who are striving out of the darkness of hope into the light of success. The world no longer regards the colored people of the United States and the West Indies as children; it wants men and women to do its work, and when they fail to measure up to the single standard of excellence, of preparedness, they are denied, and those who are are accepted. Colored people are finding this to be true in the highest and lowest employments, and this is compelling them to strive always for the preparation needed to meet the condition. cultural colleges will do all the Independent claims; but that scientific methods will enable us to support five or six times the present population, or; that such a population is possible or desirable for a century hence, may wisely be doubted. We have more crude population now than we need and are receiving more every year than we can reasonably educate and give profitable labor; while the native people are steadily being encroached upon in bread making employments by the hungry strangers, who organize and do not care to work with other race groups than their own. In this respect, it is becoming as true of the Southern States as of the other three groups. In the South colored and black labor is being steadily excluded or restricted in skilled and unskilled employments by foreign labor groups. The Independent gives the following paragraph to the discussion, which should interest colored people in particular: If we hire the commonest sort of a man to do the commonest sort of farming, all of which, however,掌握 precision and knowledge, in training and training, will be necessary to be noticed at any moment that he will leave to "go into business." Not one of these heirlings recognizes farming as business. He is going into saloon keeping as likely as not, and honestly holds it to be something superior to raising corn and wheat in the fields. If we teach teachers, not so long ago. Our-dish wahkers and sweepers left us to "teach school." This imperfection in education is being rapidly broken up. The college boy is no longer allowed to teach in one of our high schools, but we are not. If we teach professionally prepared; why not the farm boy? We shall never have the right sort of farming until we have the right sort of farming. It does not make any difference how much our vocabulary changes to take in such information as we learn. If we move given us by the sciences, if our wutheries in the fields, who come in closest contact with the crops, know nothing of progress and care nothing for evolution. Our schools are being changed over suddenly to meet our needs. If we learn to be given to us and to apply every invention and discovery with prismatic. The colored trade and agricultural schools of the South have led, and are leading, in their school work, experiment stations and farmers' gatherings, to the best possible results, both in teaching the dignifying of farming as a most honorable occupation and in teaching the latest scientific knowledge of farm methods and implements. A great work has been and is being wrought among the colored farmers of the South in these respects. The main thing is to teach farmers to send their sons and daughters to farm schools and to furnish these schools with more money with which to continue the good work they are doing. THE READER BEHIND THE NEWSPAPER The people of New York City read the daily newspapers; they also read the weekly and monthly magazines of all norts; they also read books and have many fine libraries, some of the finest and best equipped in the country. They also produce more and better newspapers, magazines and books than any other city in the country. In the rush hours of traffic, mornings and afternoon, in the subway, surface and elevated cars, it is a revelation to watch the readers of the newspapers. It is not a question of race or color; everybody is behind a newspaper, studiously seeking to find out what the people of the great world did between moons or between suns. The passenger not behind a newspaper, not seeking to keep up with the world's thought and work, is a rare exception, and often-regarded as a suspicious person. So, then; New Yorkers are among the best informed people in the world. They know things and do things, and appreciate what those of other cities, States and lands know and do. The New York Age and several other perfectly good and sensible newspaper have been wasting a lot of time of late running an academic discussion of "the need and possibility of a national Negro Press Association," like several other uncleans and endorses, came up for discussion at the last meeting of the National Negro Press Association. We will have Negro daily newspapers as soon as the Negro race develops that degree of race among other races—the German, Irish or Jew, for instance. It requires a whole lot of money to finance a daily newspaper, and also requires specialists in ad-writing, reporterial, editorial and mechanical work to conduct one. Any colored man must combination of colored men to enterprise until the race develops more solidarity, race consciousness and commercial standing, would be a subject or subjects for an insane asylum. Take this as expert testimony from one who has had a rocky time trying to enter the newspaper in a field where most of the money that runs it comes from white clients. The discussion was started by Dr. Kyles, the accomplished editor of the A. M. E. Zion Church Review, and far from being "a useless" question, has been as full of helpful thinking about what colored people need and should have as an oyster is of meat. Of course, the dear people know what they want, but sometimes forget about it, and must have it recalled to their remembrance, and they do not always know how to do what they want, and so must have a teacher. Who will keep them in mind of what they want and how to do it, when they get to it, some ten or twenty years hence, perchance if THE Ack and the Zion Review, and other "sentiments on the outer walls," do not keep alive the question, by discussion of it, at seasonable intervals of time? We have shown that the time does not seem ripe for a colored daily newspaper as Dr. Kyles suggested, because of the great cost of equipping and maintaining it, and because the necessary number of readers and advertising patrons do not seem to exist; but we admit the need of such a newspaper, and therefore readily lend ourselves to so much discussion of it as will serve to keep it young and fresh in the minds of the people. Meanwhile, we should be glad to have 25,000 more readers sit before The Art every week than now do so. --- THE MISSISSIPPIAN MEMORIAL OF THE UNION OF MISSISSIPPIANS. I will be honoured your article in the world when I am on the African Championship. Also your advice to Joseph to accept the award of the African Champion will be thankful to them. Dear God, Keep not African already to God! That fact is that whatever and whosoever a man is in for God is generally meant the presumption of being a Christian, binding and attention of the brown, red and black man. I agree with you that Bishop Hart still thinks differently I am Dr. Blyden, but not necessarily more wholly. With Christianity he has made little headway against the religion of Islam even with the toleration of Mohammadam. What Christianity has made little headway against the religion of Islam been hostile? What is needed by Christian missionaries is the spirit of appreciation to the people, to know that theaven Christian missionary is regarded by the orientals as arrogant and ignorant. We all know that many of the condemnations of the Afrikaans are not to be regarded the native, their customs and sentiments. I regret that years of experience does not seem to improve the line; but Methodismo and all other isms may know now, for all time, that they can never do to Africa as they have done to Europe, and that they will continue to swallow up the white man and God will have that legacy as a heritage of the dark race. I, therefore, agree with Dr. Blyden, who am afraid to be redeemed "We must arm the Negro." It is also true that the black men who embrace the religion of Islam, enjoy a privilege unknown to any who embrace the Christian religion. The color of his skin, the texture of his hair is no barrier in the realms of Islam. Can any Christian nation state the claim truthfully? Let us hope that the Negro race will never aid in any campaign that will cause the millions in Africa to bend the knee to white man's prejudice. For every dollar given, every prayer offered (if prayers count), will be as a nail driven in the coffin of the Negro race. We shall as the Hon. Fred. Douglas did, "hesitate to surrender all to our religion and set of religionists who sell women for wine and babies to buy Bibles." To supplant the religion of Islam with Christianity will mean to strike from Africa the dignity and impressions of kings and queens, the spirit of nobility and brand him with American ideas of "Uncle Tom," "Aunt Jeremiah" and little "Topsy." The blacks in Africa will never submit to Christian religion as interpreted by the white man. The slogan should be "Appreciate and co-operate." Co-operate with Islam and "mainly pre-Christian" with the course of life becomes known to natives will mean the opening of new graves for Christian missionaries. Anyone who claims that Dr. Blydem did not believe in God is lacking in information. Dr. Blydem, when retiring from public service, was a person who had the power to show how his countrymen was abandoned by God and Bible, wondered if Bernard Shaw had ever read the Bible. "We advise," said Dr. Blydem, "that our countrymen are very different. There is nothing in that-served book properly interpreted, but will make for those qualifations of the African. I advise you, therefore, to hold fast to the sacred book, whatever the deficiency of the God of Bernard Shaw. We will not argue the point, but the African's God is not powerless, his unwearing and alliedness are the virgiliance of the race and the only white is not a man left with Negro blood in his veins, and that will be when the cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temple, the globe itself, yes, all which inherits shall dis- solve. And like the baseless fabrics of vision, it leaves a wreck behind. Africa's belongs to God and the African. WHITE PRESS ON THE NEGRO The growing feeling among Negroes that there is an inclination in Washington to discriminate against their race appears to have some justification. The recent happenings in the capital. The latest instance of the activity of the anti-Negro element is seen in the Lever agricultural bill, which, as part of the House, does not offer aid to the agricultural colleges for colored people. Friends of the Negro declare this omission was deliberate and part of a campaign to keep the race down in the mountains by the advantages of modern scientific training so essential for race development and prosperity. To remedy this Senator Robert D. McCain amended the Lever bill providing that Negro educational institutions shall receive their full quota of the federal appropriation to which they are entitled. As throwing some light on the motives which actuated Mr. Lever in framing his bill it is interesting to note that the General Assembly of that State has favored as favoring the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which in effect gives Negroes the right to vote. It is doubt that the enemies of the Negro in the south have been unusually active since the Democrat went into power in Washington. In the state where they have been started to bring legislation that would allow any county or municipality to vote on the acquisition of land by any particular race. This has been a powerful weapon against the Negro. When the Jones amendment to the Lever bill comes up for debate it is expected to be a major stir in Congress. The occasion will offer an excellent opportunity thoroughly to air the whole subject of discrimination against the colored race, and the Negroes in the West, and rest until all the facts are brought to the surface. JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO The Tampa Tribune has an excellent leader which is reproduced in another issue of the Tribune on the subject of justice to the Negro. Considerable of what the Tribune flicted on the colored race by certain classes of white men is applicable to conditions in Miami. But whether any community in the State, or of the South, for that matter, has a more orderly, industrious, and more productive population, the Tribune has the power to do that. bene of that race lives by themselves, their own business and their own special activities. They are struggling to make their race in all the civic virtues. And yet, it is painful to chronicle, there is frequent complaint on the part of the better class of colored people who are subjected by unconscious white men. Defenseless Negroes are assaulted by white men and practically have no defence or protection. They are imposed upon in business transactions, and it has been said that many of them are often subjected to official tyranny by overbearing and brutal officers. All these things are reflections on this community and the community should see to that its respectable population receives the treatment given the white man by the laws of the country. The recent voluntary offer by leading ten thousand dollars for the bay channel should cause a blush of shame to mount the cheek of every white man who has in any way imposed on that channel contributed in any way to placing stumbling blocks in the way of its progress. ENTITLED TO FAIRER DEAL (From Tampa Tribune.) The Afro-American Civic League is entitled to the support and co-operation of all good citizens in its earnest efforts to promote the rights of citizens among the people of its race in this city. The movement has grown into one of unusual importance, and organizations of white citizens, deserving of the right to vote, are giving the colored workers their assistance in effecting the end they seek. The Negro population of Tampa suffers a serious handicap in its desire to participate in reality and citizenship for itself. The section of the city which embraces its churches and its homes is also the section devoted by the illicit resorts of the practice of their demoralizing trade. The Negro of good purposes and better sentiment cannot hope to rear children properly amid so many challenges that foundation can wander that the Negro furnishes the majority of our criminals and occupies the major attention of our officers and courts, the Negro is a major factor in establishing his family altar to bring up his children and oven to worship his Maker in the shadow of the sporting community, and their shame with the tolerance if not the outright protection of the civil authorities. This is one of the groserest cases in the history of our culture before we progress much further in our civil development. These people, black though they be, are entitled to secure as an institution of city life it surely is not necessary that it be thrust into direct contact with the home, however humble, or the raising institution of whatever race or condition. The Tribune would advise our authorities to begin thinking seriously of this problem, because it is one which will have to be met in a short time. Public sentiment will demand common decency already demands it. PROOFS OF THE NEGRO'S PROGRESS. (From Oakland Tribune) That the condition and status of the Negroes in the South are improving is shown by facts, which speak more forcefully than the leading Southern journal prints the doings of colored people in a serious and respectful way. That was not the case twenty years ago. It is unusual that the Negro has advanced socially and culturally to the class of Southern newspapers nowadays. In this change we see evidence that the Negro has advanced socially and culturally to the proper consideration in chronicleing the process and discussing the Negro in connection with civic matters. Nashville Tennessee, one of the leading journals of the middle tier of the Southern States, prints a department for colored people edited by a Negro. It also prints cuts on the Negro's religious and cultural, religious and industrial life. In the issue before us is a cut of the Negro cashier with a successful Negro with a laudatory sketch of his career. Such a thing would have been impossible a generation ago. The white man sent it with a vehemence that would have threatened the publishers with ruin. To-day it is taken as a matter of pride that he made it worth while to cultivate his mind and he has attained a position that enable the publishers of representative Southern journals to make a legitimate endangerment loss of white patronage. If this does not spell progress all signs are at fault. The best of it is that the colored people have made this advance by pursuing the policy which looker Washington has advocated un-tingling. His advice to his people has a very good sense of working and makes themselves effective for industrial pursuits, acquiesce, property and become independent. The possession of property brought a measure of respect, he said, that the colored people could never gain without it. When the Negress had the means to buy when and where they pleased white men would bid for their business, and would protect their interests because the white men would not see the interests of their customers suffer. What the dependent renter compelled to buy his provisions from his landlord on credit could never hope to be regarded as a full-grown man was an afirmatological proposition which he continually impressed on the colored people. Public opinion will not lightly see a man of property, a useful citizen, abused, he argued, hence he urged the Negroes to acquire property not only to be a place against penury, old age and disability, but as the best possible insurance against violence and wrong. He was right. The proof is to be found in Southern newspaper printed primarily for white readers. The Neer is a white neighbor, a successor of his white neighbor, a successful colored man of business has an admitted standing due to his capacity and success that he could not hope otherwise to gain. When Negro farmer, owning a barn, was asked to ball of cotton for the season he is slain on the back in friendly fashion and praised for his industry, thrift and enterprise. Nobody calls him a "nigger," nobody insults him because he is black, nobody insults him because he is white and respect. That is human nature. It is a lesson the degrees are learning and prodding by. smale by being predicial with elbow grease and frudgul with their money, in a similar way they are growing in mental and moral status. ROOSEVELT AND THE BARBADOS The following is an extract from a letter written by former President Roeveil to his Outfit, covering his experience and observations among the colored people on the island of Barbados. October 4 we left New York on the Lampart & Holt steamer Vandyck. It is astounding how comparatively few of our people realize that it is now as easy and comfortable to go to South America astonishing for those of us who are past middle age to realize how very easy and very comfortable traveling has become. Of such travelers as we have seen, we will be clean, roomy, with everything to add to the mechanical attractiveness of life on the steamer. I rather hesitate as to propitiate word than "comfort." One thing is certain. Not only are second-class passengers infinitely better off than were the first-class passengers in the first cross the Atlantic on the old Cunarders Socta and Russia, but the improvement has been even more marked for the third-class passengers in the crew themselves. The direct trip from New York to Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro is delightful. Not only is this route bound for Buenos Aires, but it is bound to become a great passenger route. It is a delightful trip. Of course terrible storms can occur southward trip, and now and then a hurricane more violent than anything outside the tropics. But as a rule the seas are smoother and the weather is less unpredictable than in the roaring forties. Throughout our trip there was no more motion than would have been pleasant on a ship. The weather was better for anybody feeling under the weather. In passing through the West Indies, any one who is sensitive to the storied history of the Caribbean thing of the thrill that he feels in so many parts of the Old World. For over four centuries the region across canon now, ply their unweantful cameras seen drama after drama, often of terrible and tragic interest, often of vast importance to the tutty of mankind, the island of Bonaire, words suggest romance and mystery and fierce adventure! The islands were discarded and by the first arrival of Mediterranean admirals, and they were followed by other ships bearing the steel-tempered conquestadores of the days when the island was a place of Mediterranean zenith. After a stretch of time crowded with brilliant happenings, but brief as it was brilliant, this same summer brought to the island The descendants of the conquerors grew inert, peace and ease and sloth ate into their warlike fiber, and new lands were discovered. Their forefathers had done to others. The rise of the English power began with, and the world-wide dominion of the English-speaking peoples was heralded by, the feats of Drake and his fellow-freebooters against the Spanish calleons in the Spanish Main. To the corsairs who flew the flag of a great power succeeded other corsairs who warred openly for their own hand. The buccancers, French, English, and Dutch, sacked the Spanish cities, ravaged the Spanish coasts, took possession of Spanish Islands, in this rich harvest-field of their exploits. To them succeeded the pirates who prayed on the ships of all nations, whose hand was against every man, who were hunted down by the regular forces of all nations, and who made their last stand in these seas only some eighty years ago. Then, as Spain grew decrepit, the nations that had once warred against her turned their awards against one another, only this time the islands had been divided among the sieges. People Powered Spanish, French, Dutch, English, even Danish, Every time that war broke out among the kings and peoples of Europe the shock was felt in the West Indies. Either came the reshaping of the English. Enough cruising ships of the line, with their tiers of heavy guns and their towering pyramids of sheeten canvas. Some of the fleecest and most important sea flights of history were fought in these areas. The great sea glaciers, to the end of 1700, to the end of 1760, to the end of 1780, to the end of 1800. The ships of the war fleets face those days were crammed with men, fierce, hardy, brutal, utterly ignorant of what we would now regard as the elemen- The Great Thoughts of the Age of the World, the Cloudy Contacts they waked with each other, it was as nothing to what happened when peaceless smote them, when scurvy or yellow-jack or some potrid fever lived in their own foul hulls smote them. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The sun was always an environs could hardly work the ship to port. Here too the slave ships thronged. The darkest horrors of the sea were those of the middle passage, when the ruthless slaving captains fled, and the whispers of the bodies of the men and women who are them were but black human cattle. Man, plague and tornado, all took their toll of life. And under and through all the slave trade was waged against blissful slaves, the haughty races who contended for the mastery of the islands little dreamed. The whites had exterminated them, they fought for centuries among them, while the white African slaves, whom they had brought over for their own pleasure and profit, were, by their own reckoning for the remote descendants of the wrong-doers. There has never been more terrible retribution on any man and wrong-doing than the retribution that the men of tropical America for their misdeeds tworeds the blacks. The whites brought the blacks to the West Indies and brought the blacks to the south and the blacks have stayed the land, have multiplied, and have driven out or are driving out the whites. Most of the islands are becoming, and some already become, a black man's country. It is a perilous thing for a race to practice selfish indulgence at the cost of the price that their children's children be the price of race extinction itself. The history of this island-dotted sea has been one of slumberous, sensuous canyons, and one of the most beautiful and hurdiness of human wrath and wrong-doing. Just as is true of nature itself in these lands that lie in the golden sand, the earth the writer the air wars with treasuries from the two sides, but at times by the other than the two of the whirwinds. At: Barkdews we stopped for some hours, and the O'most was probably rather as over the island. We launched the Governor's house in coast, bare, intractive rooms and strived into the town's house. The chief Justice of the island had come down with us on the boat from New York, and had told me much about the effect of the island. What was the interest. Barberade has been an English island for nearly three centuries. The land is the only home of the Anopheles mesoite will not live on it, so that there is no fever, and the whites who will have to be�en are often more than the two. The land is a pecan, and the island has not been as mentally and mentally. The Spaniards never settled on the island which, by the end of the 18th century, has been treated as the first English adventurers who landed found only Cariba. In the Government of the island there is a point old on the island that at first discovered the map containing those delightful pictures which, as a result of the modern barberade, has been忠心。 The settlers themselves appear in and there on this map, and pictures of wild cattle and swine which they hunted and found to be made as the most important land of Carib chief; with his own which it is mentioned in thirty feet long—it must have been a seagroga and the two are the most important land in the island in which to float it. A more ominous touch, characteristic of the age, and marking its utter unlikelihood of being the most important land of the country, is the runaway Negrons. Shavery was rife here as all through the West. In the same day, the people were alone and it was abolished the Negro was found to outnumber the white man many times. In the same day the W. W. Jones, who is the first island of the world, in the new world, has the problem of the Negro's presence been being found to be very much here in barbados. He was solved with Although a small island, Barbados is densely populated. Every foot of fertile soil is tilled. Here are nearly two feet deep and hard to find, and only only twelve thousand are pure white. The majority are nearly pure black. There is complete equality of wealth among the people of Barbados, is treated on his individual worth. The Assembly, or lower house, is elected by the people. The suffrage is limited in various ways, but it includes all who are born in Barbados and are able mechanic has a vote. Of the voters probably two-thirds are black, or colored, yet nine-tenths of the memorial is white. The others are colored and the others are colored men or black men of good character who have prepaired in business and possess standing in the community. Evidently the majority are representatives with more wisdom than our own voters sometimes show. Education is free to all. There is but a few schools. There are almost no crimes of the type of murder, rape, or robbery under arms) although now and then there will be an attack, a sneak-thief or an assault breaking. Black men and white are entirely satisfied that they receive justice from the Government and that the Government is administered in their interest. 'Of course wide differences appear among the non-white, the colored people, the lower class who, although honest and industrious, are still in a primitive state of culture. Those included the black men (and women men) whom we saw industriously breaking stones or working on the earth, then digging earth and loading, coal, and cement or earth in haskets. I was informed, and can well believe it, that if some admirable substitute for a tomm- near a group of the hutu in which these men and women live, in a few minutes out dancing a regular African dance. From these black peasants there is a steady graduation upwards without a break in theooking colored men whom I saw both in the college and to some of the public officials. The Chief Jus- ter is to the present incumbent of the office of the college, and to some of the paper reporters were all colored. The present Solicitor-General is a colored person is accepted by his white col- laborants from the college. I saw the college boys. I was met by the whites and those of color intermixed on terms of entire equality. This scholarship is for a barbados scholarship. There is a barbados scholarship like the Rhodes scholarship, the winner of which goes to one of the white boys. While this winner is ordinarily a white boy, on several occasions he has been a colored boy. In short, it certainly has been made with good faith and success to treat everybody on a footing of justice and fair play, giving to every col- lorate the chance to do so, and the reward for rising, but not doing anything for him merely because he was not a white boy, as informed that there was little or no intermarriage now between the races. Around the ship, in addition to the swart boatmen who were anxious to get there, there were tiny, cranky craft each with two' or three boys eager to dive for any coins that were thrown overboard, and in several of the canoes there were one or two white boys, not to mention light mutilations. Not only did they dive and take the boats, but precision and police of movement that enabled them on leaving the water to climb into their unstable craft with the rocking they made the onlooker marvel. The Panama Canal has had a marked effect upon the island. Barbados and the islands of the people are of necessity industrious, and in spite of their industry sometimes find the problem of living serious. They have furnished many thousands of houses in the Zone. Some of these have risen to good positions, chiefly on the colored police force, but the great majority have sent back in savings half a million dollars or thereabouts, to the great beseft of the banks. Some apprehension last, when the work on the Canal was completed, the men who returned to the island, with a larger outlook, new wants, and increased ambitions, migrated and intermixed me, by the way, was the number of small landowners who own from an acute upwards. Atogether, they left by burdens was very small. ATLANTIC HIGH TIDE, N. J. ATLANTIC HERALDA, N. J., Jan. B.—Mrs. Donnie C.

Just why the Boxing Commission should prohibit mixed bouts we cannot fath- om, except that they may be actuated by a desire to protect white boxers from the hamiliation of de- feat by a Ne@ro, a manifestly unfair proposition fer the Negro. The Negro has. as much right to gain the top. in pugilism as in any ether of “life. “Fear is all that makes a boxer draw the color line.

If by chance some good man, not now in sight, should develop and desire to demonstrate his superiority over one of this ebony trio. the match would be frowned on hy the ‘commish,’ thus practically harring New York from heavyweight championship houts. : “We once asked a white near-cham- pion if he was actuated by his <scial superiority in refusing to lex a then prominent erro.

A working belief in the truth gives us at once a new earth and a new heaven, and it is manifest that we are new beings and that our purpose is to help and good will prevail. The omnipotence of God grips us; the omnipresence of God fills us; the omniscience of God illumens us. This active, vital and dynamic consciousness of God, our Heavenly Father, is in the reach of us and we are the source of all that will it so. This world and the universe, of which this world is an interrelated quantity, is where it is, and what it is, because of the infinite, imminent, supreme love of the trune One, Eternal Creator." The Sunday school is not only full of enthusiasm, but is showing marked educational improvement. On the recommendation of the Sunday school board, Supt.

REGIMENTAL NOTES The Equity Congress of Greater New York met in its regular session Sunday, January 38, 1914, at Thomas' Chapel for the transaction of business and such other matters as came before the Congress. The Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, Maj. Chas. William Wilson, presided over the progress of the colored regiment. He read a letter from the Adjutant-General refuting statements which had been made by certain discordant elements concerning the personnel of the officers for this new regiment. In this letter the Adjutant General confirmed the view taken by the Board of Examiners of the Army, and more. This leaves the situation just as previously stated in The Age, to wit: That colored men would not be eligible for field officers until after they had complied with the Military Law and National Guard Regulations of the State of New York. In this connection it might be stated that there are few officers of the regiment and these will be taken care of through the Officers' School of Instruction. The Board of Examiners has not taken up the names of the prospective officers for captains, and on Friday evening, January 30, Virgil Parks and the Board of Examiners have this rate the present list will be exhausted on February 29, after which, in accordance with the request of the Adjutant-General, the available list will be taken up by the board. Great care has been taken in the selection of this list, and the examination and general fitness for commissioned officers. The men upon this list have been constant students of the Officers' School of Instruction for the past three months, and every man can pass a satisfactory examination. The Board of Examiners have an unusual interest and rivalry is exhibited by the students. Mai. Fillmore is arranging through the War Department to have First Lieutenant B. O. Davis of the 9th Cavalry detailed for instruction with this regiment. Officers are now preparing for a dinner in the near future to mark the completion of their work. At this function the regimental band will appear for the first time and give a concert under the direction of Chief Musician E. E. Thompson. A chief trumpeter soon be selected to organize the field band, consisting of three trumpeters from each company, or twenty-four men, this to be in addition to the band. In accordance with these details all of the officers necessary for the new regiment will have been examined and recruiting will be organized by the Adjutant-General in the early spring. It is hoped that any of the young color men who desire commissions will get their applications in, in time to be placed upon the list of available, which will be forwarded to the Adjutant-General on or about February 10. The officers will meet as usual on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings at 162 West 122nd street.
