Leading Negro Newspaper VARDAMAN GETS A VERY RUDE JOLT U. S. Senate Refuses to Regard His Anti-Negro Measures Seriously TERRELLTOBECONFIRMED Committee on Judiciary Orders a Favorable Report on His Nomination as Judge of Municipal Court. NO 15TH AMENDMENT REPEAL Vardaman's Amendment, Which Was Never Taken Seriously, Defeated in Senate by Vote of 48 to 19. [PRESIDENT OF THE NEW YORK ACADEMY] WASHINGTON, D. C., March 25, U.S. to a new days ago William K. Vardara man the blunt Senator from Mississippi, and March winds were regarded as synonymous—decidedly blusterous and postferous. But the Senator, judging from his present gentle demeanor did not wait until the last of the months to go out like a lamb, thereby stealing a march on March winds. There is a rea-on for this startling display of mckines—he has found that he cannot bully President Wilson and the United States Senate into think-ing his way on the Negro question. Within less than a week the United States Senate has given Vardaman two hardships in the face which has caused him deep chagrin. His pet hobby—the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution, enfranchising the Negroes, was smothered in the Senate on Thursday, March 19, and Monday of this week the Senate committee reported favorably on the nomination of Robert H. Terrell as Judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. Now Vardaman is beginning to wake up and realize that he is not such a much at Washington, and that he does not pet the United States Government. It was Vardaman who served notice on President Wilson that if Judge Terrell's name was sent to the Senate for reappointment that he (Vardaman) would see that Judge Terrell was not confirmed. The President called the Mississippi' hand. Disregard Threats of Hoke Smith and Vardaman. Monday the Committee on Judiciary ordered a favorable report on the nomination of Judge Terrell, the committee having ascertain definitely that the nomination would be confirmed by the Senate. So in the face of Vardaman and Hake Smith declaring that they would fight the nomination to the end the full committee indorsed it. Senator Vardaman's amendment to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution was lost last Thursday by a vote of 48 to 19. Not a Northern Senator — Democrat or Republican — voted for the amendment which was never taken seriously. In Washington that Vardaman and John Sharp Williams live in a State where Negroes outnumber the whites, and that if the Negro was allowed to vote, as provided by the Constitution of the United States, both Vardaman and Williams would be engaged in other pursuits. The votes in favor of Senator Vardaman's amendment to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution were cast by the following Senators: Bryan, Florida; Gore, Oklahoma; James, Kentucky; Lae, Tennessee; Lau, Maryland; Martin, Virginia; Myers, Montana; Overman, North Carolina; Randall, Louisiana; Road, Missouri; Shoppard, Texas; Shields, Tennessee; Sargent, Virginia; Sling, Virginia; Tillman, South Carolina; Vardaman, Mississippi; West, Georgia, Williams, Minnesota—18. Senator Williams, of Mississippi, was also hamilated when he offered an amendment restricting woman suffrage to white women, which was lost by a vote of 44 to 21. Many are of the opinion that the day of the demagogue in the United States Senate is rapidly passing.

AVON BOWLERS WIN The Avon Club traveled from Brooklyn to Mount Vernon to meet the Williamsbridge Club on their alleys and be it said to the credit of the "Trolley Dodgers" they did what no other team has ever done to the "Speed Boys"—took both games—thereby moving into second place and pushing the "Speed Boys" into the cellar. The Brooklyn players deserve credit in view of the odds against them. Everything favored the "Speed Boys" and everyone rooted (and there was a good size crowd of rooters, both male and female on hand, for them. Only one man rooted for the Brooklyn boys. The first rame was slow with no one showing any speed but it was exciting at the finish as Bookers last ball decided which team would be returned winner. Booker needed three pins to the score and four pins to win with six pins on the alley, but he just picked one of them and his team lost the game by two pins. The second game proved to be another 800 for the Avons and they defeated the Speed Boys by 14 pins.

When a landlord fails to furnish adequate heat a tenant is justified in making provisions to keep warm and then take the amount expended for heating purposes out of the rent, according to a decision made Friday by Justice Wells of the Seventh District Municipal Court. The ruling was handed down in the three dispossess proceedings brought by the owners of the Victoria Apartments, 185th street and Lenox avenue, against three tenants. Lee Lock Lee Foke and Chin Foke owners of the Victoria Apartments which was the first elevator apartment house to be opened in the Harlem district for colored people, instituted proceedings to dispossess three tenants who refused to pay all their rent, the latter claiming they had bought gas heaters, kerosene stoves extra gas and kerosene in order to keep warm during the months of January, February and March, while they were willing to pay their rent less the amount spent for extra gas and kerosene, but the landlords wanted the entire amount, hence the dispossess suits. Justice Wells held that the landlords had committed breach of covenants by failure to furnish adequate heat, and allowed, by way of counter claim, $17 to one tenant and $16 to each of the other two. The defendants, upon giving proof of their willingness and ability to pay the respective differences in court, were ordered to pay the cases were satisfactorily settled. The tenants were represented by Counselor Louis A. Leavelle. A similar decision was given some months ago by Justice Davies, of the Municipal Court, which was upheld last fall by the Appellate Division. SPONSOR TO THE NEW YORK ACADEMY, Ala., March 24—I. O.

From a little farm of 82 acres, owned by John Jones, an ex-slave in Shelby County, Tennessee, has come to the Supreme Court a question affecting Negroes all over the country. The question is whether ex-slaves are entitled to inherit from their brothers and sisters, who are likewise ex-slaves. The Supreme Court of Tennessee, when Senator Shields was its Chief Justice, decided that ex-slaves have no inheritance blood. Will Jones, one of John Jones' brothers, has brought the case to the Supreme Court, seeking a reversal. W. H. Harrelson, attorney for Will Jones, filed a brief of his argument in the case.

OFFICIALS DENY A RE- VOLT AGAINST BRUCE Special to The New York Acad. Washington, D.C. March 25.—It is denied by local school officials that they look upon the petition filed by thecolled teachers of the fourth grade,protesting against the ruleintroduced by Assistant Superintendentwith regard to promotions, in the nature of a revolt against Mr. Bruce. It is also pointed that it is absolutely impossible for the assistant superintendent to promulgate a rule governing appointments and promotions withoutthe affirmative action of the superintendent of schools and the Board of Education. Mr. Bruce's position in the matteris said to be as follows: That thepolicies with respect to college graduates in the elementary schools are purely professional and impersonal,and that the teachers whose promotions were interfered with by thosepolicies have a perfect right to petitionto the school officials for a discontinuance, and moreover, the teachers have a right to organize a teachers' association for the furtherance oftheir interests the same as carpentershave a right to organize a trade union.

Has Largest Circulation PRICE FIVE CENTS "VILLA A NEGRO" SAYS EXPLORER Frederick Laman Monsen, Noted Traveler Gives Out Statement VILLA WAS HIS GUIDE Explorer Asserts Villa Has Negro Blood in His Veins and Has Had Military Training. DAILIES LESS SKEPTICAL The New York Sun and the Buffalo Courier Say that the Story about Villa is Not Improbable. Frederick Inman Monsen, the explorer, is the latest acquaintance of Gen. Pance Villa to declare that the Constitutionalist leader in Mexico is a Negro. In speaking of Gen. Villa's racial identity Mr. Monsen has given out the following statement: "I have known Villa personally for years. He was my guide for several months. Villa is a man of dominating personality with the eyes of a born dictator. I believe he has Negro blood in his veins, and I am certain that he has had military training somewhere." Frederick Inman Monsen is an explorer of note, who was born in Norway. In 1906 and 1907 he traveled extensively in Mexico with Villa as his guide. Monsen has also explored South and Central Mexico. When statements were first published in The Act that members of the Tenth Cavalry were positive in their identification of Gen. Villa being an American Negro many of the daily newspapers were included to scout at the idea. However, within the past two weeks the daffies have become less incredulous. The New York Sun believes it within the realm of probability for Gen. Villa to be an American Negro, and says: "Two soldiers of the Tenth Cavalry, a crack Negro regiment, have declared that they recognized in Vilna a fellow trooper, and the story is not inherently improbable. The officers of the Tenth are splendid disciplinarians and they turn out fine soldiers. General Villa's energy, alertness, methodical habits of work and familiarity make these soldiers the most details are unusual in a Mexican. The man has great natural ability, and he handles his army of raw volunteers like one who is well grounded in the school of the soldier." Refers to The Aes Article Says the Buffalo Courier "According to reports from Chihuahua, Francisco Villa will not long recognize Carranza as his superior, he will exercise supreme authority in continuing the military campaign, supported by the troops in whose favor he is exalted, and he aspires to the presidency of Mexico. Whether this is a true account may be almost as difficult to know as to know what will happen. Another interesting statement is made by Tirg New York Ack, one of the most prominent Negro publications, a journal elegantly edited, and presumably with desire to be accurate. "Tirg Ack a few weeks ago asserted that Villa is an American Negro, and it now repeats the declaration, with some presentation of evidence to support it. Also it prints a portrait, claimed to be his, of obviously Negro type and widely different from the pictures of Villa with which the public has been made familiar. The man is said to have been born in this country and to have served under the name of George Goldby as sergeant major in the Tenth U. S. Cavalry, although most of his life has been passed in Mexico. Men chaining to have been with him in the regiment say they have seen him recently and talked with him of their army experiences. "The story is not improbable. Black men, or men with Negro blood, have made high military reputations in Central American and West Indian countries. Antonio Maco in Cuba, an ill-illustrous example. White or black or Indian, however. Vita is creating no favorable foreign impression by his manner of dealing with those who cross his purposes, and his bravery may be believed largely in excess of his intellectuality." WOMEN ORGANIZE A Special to the New York ACA Wilmington, Del., March 25.—The colored women of this city have organized to study female suffrage, with the following officers: Mrs. Alice M. Dunbar, president; Mrs. George J. Sikes, vice-president; Mrs. Bessie Dorrell, secretary, and Mrs. Fannie Hamilton, treasurer.

WILLIAM WATKINS, OF MONTGOMERY, DEAD Special to The New York Age Montgomery, Ala., March 24.—The death of William Walkins, at his home on South Union street, Tuesday, March 18, 1914, removed from among the people of this city and State, a successful honored citizen. He had lived in Montgomery for nearly fifty years, its is leading Negro contractor and builder, and was prominently identified with many of the religious, educational and fraternal organizations of the race. Mr. Watkins was born in Richmond, Va., November 15, 1846, and had reached the age of 67 years, 4 months and 25 days. He learned the trade of a carpenter before the Civil War. While yet a young man he made his home in Montgomery, where he soon established and ever maintained a high business reputation for efficiency, honesty and reliability. The Montgomery Advertiser, the leading white daily paper of the city said: "Stall will in business circled" "All faithful characterisation. His ambition prompted him to become a master workman, and his foreseen and frugality led him to make wise investments of his savings in city property. He improved his properties which later increased greatly in value. As a contractor many of the fine homes of the city, in which he lived were built by him. The beautiful chapel at Tuskersee Institute was constructed under his personal super- M. H. THE LATE WILLIAM WATKINS vision. His last days were spent in an attractive and commodious home of his own building. By diligence in business, good judgment and excellent management he accumulated considerable property and at the time of his death he was the largest taxpayer among the colored people of Montgomery County. More than forty years ago he was married to Miss Sarah Fauntleroy, also a native of Richmond, Va. She survives him, with six children. Ten children were born in their happy home. He educated his children who are successful in different lines of professional and business life. Two of his sons, Albert, who is dead, and Dr. William F. a successful dentist in Montgomery, and president of the local Negro Business League, were members of the Third Alabama Regiment during the Spanish-American War. Two of the daughters, Miss Gertrude and Miss Alice, are teachers in the city public schools. Mrs. D. H. C. Scott, another daughter is the wife of Dr. Scott, one of the leading colored physicians of the State and the owner of the three-story Scott Building for which Mr. Watkins was the contractor. The oldest daughter is Mrs. A. L. DeMond, wife of the Rev. A. L. DeMond, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church in Charleston, S. C. Charles, the youngest son, is a contractor and builder in his home city. Mr. Watkins was the uncle of Mrs. Katherine Barr of Los Angeles, Cal, and of Sidney Pittman, the well known Negro architect of Dallas, Tex. The Montgomery Daily Journal in making mention of the care with which Mr. Watkins had reared his family, said: "He believed in giving to the State and the Nation men and women fitted to do good work. In his own life and character he sought to set them a worthy example of what citizenship really means. How well he did this source of telegrams, letters, floral designs and expressions from the best citizenry, both white and colored eloquently testify. He counted his friends by the hundred among the best white people as well as his own people." He was a member and past master of the masonic order and had held the responsible-position of grand treasurer of the State body for many years. He was a friend of Dr. Booker T. Washington and had rendered him valuable assistance in the establishment of Tuskegee Institute. He was one of the founders and deacons of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church where the funeral services were conducted by the loyal clergymen of Tuskegee. The leading faithful and consistent Christian life that he had lived was spoken of as a rich legacy which he leaves to his family and his race. The floral offerings were numerous, beautiful and costly. He was buried with masonic honors. SPRINGFIELD. MASS.

The WONDERFUL ELOQUENCE OF THE MOST POWERFUL NEGROES—men and women—of the world is contained in this book. Nothing more interesting and inspiring has ever been written. If you would know the history of the race, appreciate the sacrifice for principle, understand the struggle for liberty and properly place the oratorical achievement of the NEGRO, you should embrace the opportunity to place this book in your library. THE MASTERPIECES OF NEGRO ELOQUENCE will take you back to 1818, when Prince Saunders in his fascinating style eloquently pleaded for the abolition of slavery: It will give you the speech of Henry Highland Garnett, the first Negro ever asked to preach in the United States House of Representatives. It contains the speech of Frederick Douglass, who in 1852, with unexcelled eloquence, demanded at Rochester to know "What to the slave is the Fourth of July?" The speech that made Booker Washington famous. An estimate of Toussaint L'Overture by James McCune Smith that ranks with Wendell Phillips' eulogy of Toussaint. Charles M. Langston's defiance of the Fugitive Slave Law delivered in 1859, of which the Boston Transcript said at the time: "Future generations of Negroes will be proud to say this speech was made by a Negro. Judge Ruffin's tribute to Crispus Attucks, a speech that should be read by every Negro boy and girl. These are but a few of the gems from this book—a book that is a library, a reference book and an historical work, indispensable in every intelligent Negro's library. It is a fascinating resume of the Negro's achievements of 100 years. A book that shows in the best manner the best the Negro has done. It is carefully edited, well printed in large type on the best quality paper, and thoroughly indexed. Bound in red and green cloth, 512 pages, gold top with uncut edges.

WARNING We have agents and others prominent in church and educational work who have represented the New York Age, collected money and using it to pursue our purpose. We have established a list of people if they do not pay. We have warned all such and demanded payment. When are we to have a report from the Emancipation Proclamation Commission? Or, if the Commission has made a report, when is it to be given to the public? The New York Legislature appropriated $28,000 for this celebration, and it is mid that about $10,000 was realised from paid admission. The law provides that it is the duty of the commission to make a financial report ninety days after the closing of the exposition, which was held in October. The taxpayers would like to know how their money was spent. So let us have a report. PRISON REFORM NATIONAL The exposures made by Julian Hawthorne, of alleged conditions in the Federal prison at Atlanta, where he served a term for fraudulent use of the mails, and dragged one of the greatest names in American literature into the convicts' stripes and ball and chain; the experience Mr. James W. Osborne got in the New York prison at Sing Sing, where he voluntarily "served time" in order to know how to recommend certain prison reforms, and the experience of the City Attorney of Atlanta, who "served time" for a like purpose in "the chain gang." have created a nation-wide interest in the treatment of State and Federal convicts in all of the prisons of the country. The Governors of Alabama, South Carolina and Mississippi have declared war upon the existing prison system and its chain gang abuses, and late dispatches state that the State of Texas has set apart 45,000 acres of State prison lands to be developed with convict labor, 10,000 acres to be devoted to corn cultivation, which will be a more healthy and humane system than that now in operation, and a vast improvement upon the system of leasing them to heartless and merciless contractors. The March number of The Southern Workman contains a thoughtful paper on "The Convict 'Lease System," by Mr. E. Stagg Whitin, Chairman of the Executive Board of the National Committee on Prison Labor, with many of whose conclusions we do not agree, in which he says "the convict lease system is no Southern problem, but a Nation's problem," and that "the exploitation of the convict by business interests is National in its scope, respects neither color nor previous condition of servitude, nor the limitations of the Mason and Dixie line." This is in the nature of an apology for the Southern convict lease system, which Mr. Whitin should be heartily ashamed of, as no one knows better than he that the public sentiment of no State in the Nation would tolerate the scandalous and inhuman practices that have characterized the Southern system since the overthrow of the Reconstruction governments, in 1876-7. But Mr. Whitin goes much further with his offense and apology. He I do not pretend to justify the black code, to analyze the motives of reconstructing or to evaluate the nature of reconstructed crime. It is sufficient to remember that the same penal code which turned over in large numbers in the 1960s and 1970s together with a few white Southerners, to the exploitation and tyranny of the slave-driving men of Northern white convicts, together with a few Negroes, to be exploited for the benefit of similar business interests, could that man be convicted in Colorado, or that copy to Blaine, and told this uncomfortable truth. As a Northwestern, I ask for the abolition of this human exploitation in the North. A HARLEM PHILOSOPHER ON BUSINESS STAGNATION. "What is the matter with the Negro in Harlem, and the business stagnation that holds him down?" we asked a Harlem philosopher recently, one of the men who is trying to do things up there, but who finds the white trader in his way at every turn, because colored people prefer to trade with white persons when they can rather than with their own. "I will tell you," said the Harlem philosopher. "It is this way; we have no business of a solid character in Harlem, because the Negroes are not together, not united. They like trash. The white traders have got-them, seemingly, under their control. You newspaper people should hew to the line in exposing the weakness of the big and little Negroes to build up business concerns of all sorts for white persons and of refusing to engage in or trade with concerns of their own people. The grip of the white business man on the Negro confidence and trade must be broken before we can accomplish anything worth while. Stores of all kinds must be established. Opportunities must be opened for our young people, as other race groups open them for theirs, not on a basis of prejudice to or against the white man, but because the Negro must do these things for himself in order that he may have a foundation, a place of his own, upon which to stand. Confidence, loyalty, follow your own, must be insisted upon. The way must be blazed by us, or it will not be blazed. That much is plain enough for all of us to see and to understand. The Age can make itself powerful by doing this constructive work, hitting straight from the shoulder. There is nothing whatever to be gained by apologizing for the existing conditions and of charging it up to slavery. The truth of the matter is, the old Negro who came out of slavery had more race pride than the new generation." That is just what The Age has done during the past thirty and more years, made itself powerful by doing just what the Harlem philosopher advises it to do now. In season and out of season it has advised the people to stand together, to develop race pride, to start little business enterprises of their own and to support them, and all the rest of it that goes to make a group of people strong and respected by themselves and, necessarily, by others. But the Harlem philosopher has the correct view of the situation, although a shade unjust in his sweeping characterization of the young generation as compared with the generation that came out of slavery. Age-long oppression and struggle to save a penny for a rainy day, in running conditions of high taxation, low wages and high cost of living, have taught the average white man in Europe and America the highest and best lesson in life that mankind can learn, that like units must stand together as families, races, groups and States to accomplish the greatest benefits for themselves. The philosophy of it was first given to mankind in the experiments of the twelve tribes of Israel, to make the most of their opportunities. As tribal groups, after the development of the family group had become a fixed principle in the life of the people, and the philosophy of it was given by inspiration and solely for example. That the Europeans and Americans are making and have made most of the philosophy is shown in the marvous expansion of the white races in all of the arts of living and of government, while the dark races of Asia and Africa have stagnated and are stagnate, while Japheth the Elder was being "enlarged," as Noah prophesied. But we have reached a period in the life of mankind where the one race has the same advantages as the other, in Christian countries, that make for the best and highest in living, extending to the "stranger within the gates" in this country, in so far that it is easier to stumble over "the stranger" everywhere than those "native to the manor horn." We have some of nearly all the races of mankind here in New York, and it is easy to find them out in the places and occupations where they live, because they have grouped themselves after their kind, without any law compelling them to do so, and prosper among themselves because they buy and sell, goods and labor, of and from themselves, as far as this can be done, and only buying and selling to and of others where it is absolutely impossible to provide themselves with it without doing so. Even the Chinese merchants import from the home country all of the meats, eggs and vegetables that can be cold-stored for transportation, and sell them to their countrymen, who perfer their home goods to the goods of the country of their adoption and where they earn, each of them, as much in a day as the savage Chinaman can earn in a week in the home country. In this way their merchants thrive here and in China, and are able to keep constantly employed in this country and in China thousands of relatives and dependents as producers, middlemen, clerks, managers and proprietors. The Italians do very much the same thing. And both sorts have banks of their own as well as stores, both retail and wholesale, from which they not only buy themselves but from, which Americans can and do also buy, the curios, at least, and costly fabrics and gems they covet for ornament and the like. In short, the race groups of the population in New York that pass for natives, or Europeans, or Asiatics, buy and sell and hire and work among themselves, and in this way not only keep the money in the group but circulating all of the time. Strange to say, Negroes are the only race group that do not do this, but who prefer to buy of and sell to and to work for others rather than among themselves. The defect of character indicated by this disposition is only overcome entirely in communities and neighborhoods where the whites decline to buy and sell of colored people and prefer that they take their wants to themselves, or to the whites who stick to them for business advantage, and from which they reap a rich harvest. This is not only true in New York City, and the Harlem thereof, but in the cities of the South, where it is gradually being overcome, in the slow growth of business enterprises of our own. What do the readers of THE ACE think of the Harlem philosopher's views? Do they correctly diagnose the situation? Do they sufficiently account for the business stagnation that afflicts and holds the race down, not only in our Harlem, but all along the race line? Let us hear from the readers of THE ACE about it. in the South, in the East and in the West. The shifting hand of political face has placed the South in a position of share of the responsibility for the government of this nation. While the party of the South may still be a minority, it is dominant in the South. This is partly this party, led by Southern men, will come the question of the perpetuation of the lease and contract system, for many years, bills and contracts. If from the Southland the new stimulus for social righteousness should sweep on and cause the passage of new bills which will allow the passage of last bills in slavery in the Northland—what irony of fate! No Southerner rose in Congress to reply to Mr. Blaine because the bloody facts padlocked the jaws of all, of them, who had just as much sympathy for the South and as little sympathy for the Negro as Mr. Whitin, but lived too close to the facts to flout them or cross swords with Mr. Blaine. And Mr. Whitin will recognize it as "irony of fate" indeed, if he shall live to see "the suppression of the convict lease system," in the North and the South, by Congressional legislation initiated and enacted into law, by the Southern Democratic "minority, dominant in the Nation." We have no such faith in the Democratic "minority, dominant in the Nation," as Mr. Whitin has, and we would like very much to know where he got his. Certainly not in a Southern chain game. "THE HILL BILLIES" OF TEN NESSPE Senator Tillman and other Southern statesmen from the sand hills of the Southern States, have not endearded themselves to us or "the rest of mankind," during the past thirty years, by their wisdom, patriotism nor temperance in their speaking and actions. They have belonged to the tempestuous sort who have stood ready at a moment's notice to head a village mob or a Nation-wide revolution to serve their selfish ambition, or to show that they are higher than the law they make for others. The "Hill Billies" of insular Tennessee appear to differ from the South Carolina sort in that they seem, sometimes, to think, and to have some respect for decent government and the orderly processes of the legal machinery. The Original Order of Hill Billies" of Tennessee has bolted the Democratic machine and joined forces with the independent Democrats who favor the re-election of Gov. Ben W. Hooper for a third term as Governor. This action speaks volumes of good for "The Original Order of Hill Billies," none of which could be as picturesque, inclusive and "down to the common people" as they paint themselves, warts and all, in the resolutions passed by the Order, of which the following is a rich race and racy sample: We don't discredit miracles on certain lines, but hanged if we can see any sort of "unity" that's worth while, and that is to rock along with our people, with them and that is all the temperance folks and lawabiding fellows that want good-and wholesome election laws on one side and as for "unity" just keep what we've got, and if any of the other growth wants to be the best, we will discredit and "unified" with us good and well. We want it distinctly understood that we ain't running over one another to become a "unit" with a certain gang that was in and "not" the population have winter (and summer) that worked "overtime" for liquor and lawfancers, and who (some of them) made so much fun about "harmony" and are now hollering for "unity." "The 'Hill Billy," vernacular, "right down to the common white people" of Tennessee, in which the resolutions are built with enrich our political liters, ature as much as their fidelity to good and orderly government should enrich Southern political morals. It would be interesting to know what the common "Hill Billy" of South Carolina think of the uncommon "Hill Billy" of Tennessee. Anyhow, there should be hope of a better political condition of affairs in the Southern States to come when its "Hill Billies" wake up and begin to think. WASHINGTON SCHOOL ERUPTIONS. It is much to be regretted that the colored schools of Washington appear to be unable to get along like other school, less favored than they are, without eruptions of one sort and another, that sometimes assume the proportions of scandals. The schools of the District of Columbia are under the indirect, control of the Federal Congress, and there is no more reason and justice why they should be separated on race lines into white and colored schools than there is in the separation of Government employees on the color line, and than there is in the school system of New York, where there is no color line as to teachers or pupils. If anywhere in the country discrimination in the public schools and in the public service generally should not prevail, Washington, the capital of the Nation, is that place. Sud to say, there is more race prejudice to the square inch in Washington than in any other city of like size in the country, except Baltimore. In The Age of March 12 our Washington correspondent reported the latest of the eruptions in the Washington schools that tend to discredit them and the management of them. Mr. Lawrence Conklin Bruce, the colored assistant suprintendent of the colored schools, is a very able and capable man, and it does seem that he would have judgment enough to keep him from getting at loggerheads with his 542 teachers about three times in every school year. The charge made by 300 teachers, that Mr. Bruce has made a rule that promotion above the fourth grade shall not be made of any but college graduates, would be all right if a like requirement were demanded of the white teachers. The same rule of promotion should apply to both classes 6f teachers. Washington has a Normal School for the manufacture of teachers for the colored schools, and it is not claimed by any one that Dr. Lucy E. Moten and her splendid staff of workers have not in the past fifteen years brought it up as high a point of efficiency as any other similar school in the country. Its graduates should be competent and eligible to mann any and all of the grades of the public schools from the highest to the lowest, and it is not claimed that they are not, with proper experience in the various grades. The grievance the teachers complain of, therefore, is a real one, affecting their standing as teachers as well as their brad and butter, and it is to be hoped that they will have justice done them. The public school system should be absolutely free of race prejudice and of favoritism as to pupils and teachers in order that the best results may be obtained. We have no doubt that Mr. Bruce is striving for the best results, and is liable to make mistakes, as others do in the effort to get them. "WE" ARE NOT POPULAR ANY MORE. So sorry! Where will it all end? A California now declares in the New York Times that "we" are not "popular in Central America". The same report comes from the West Indies, Central America, South America, China, Japan, Australia, the Malay States, and Europe. Once upon a time it was not that way. "We" used to be popular at home and everywhere else; now "we" are not popular anywhere and are fighting each other all of the time at home. What is the matter with "we"? "We have taken the Southern white man's race prejudice as a National sign, and after scattering it in every State in the Federal Union, have scattered it in Latin America, in the Islands of the Pacific and in the countries of the Far East, and have backed it up with "The Big Stick" and the insolvent warship, while in Europe "we" have made ourselves odious by our vulgar manners, lavish display of mere money, and the gambler's "big bluff" in diplomacy. When the time comes that "we" shall have to face the world in our arms because of our race prejudice, "Big Stick", "Big Bluff" and "Bad Manners"; "we" may wake up to the Truth. "PROPHETIC PROGRESS." PROFETIC PROGRESS. The Philadelphia Public Ledger, one of the oldest, cleanest and ablest daily newspapers in the country, says editorially: The record of the activities of colored people in Philadelphia is an answer to transformed persons who imagine that the Negro is capable of mall service only. Here is the tabula- 179 iron and steel workers, 164 carpenter and joiners, 5 electrical engineers, 15 machinery engineers. The colored people of Philadelphia have one bank, which last year handed over $1,000,000, in lending and loan associations and 15 insurance companies. They own $10,000,000 worth of businesses. But a generation or two ago every Negro was of necessity engaged in mental service for the poor. The progress of the race in Philadelphia is not only encouraging, it is prophetic. This showing is highly creditable to the colored people of Philadelphia, whose wealth it is difficult to ascertain, as all of the older colored residents, churches and corporations have their money deposited in white trust companies which, in many instances, are also trustees of the heirs of estates of wealthy decedents. But why can't we have a little tabulation like the one The Public Ledger furnishes about Philadelphia showing what the colored people of Greater New York are doing?

There must be a Negro question for the expression is a very familiar one but what is it, exactly, and is it of any great importance? If there is any such question, and if it has to do with the relation between white people and Negroes, it must be a question of importance. We usually mean black people, and those who have a visible or invisible shade of black blood in them—count a tenth of our population, and in a dozen states from a quarter to more than a quarter of our population, curious fact that the less Negro a Negro is, the more troublesome is the Negro question, when one would expect the question to fade out with the color. It must be a great question, because Negroes of every shade and a great many white people. And yet here is another very curious fact, that in most of the states very few people bother themselves with it; they never think of it. They are not much disturbed by it, whether Negroes or white people. In many of these states there are not many Negroes to raise the question, but even in the cities where there are tens of thousands of Negroes there is no more a Negro question than there is an Italian question or a Jewish question, indeed not as much. . . . But what is the Negro question? That depends on who raises it. There are school superintendents in North Carolina or Florida or Texas, to whom they are good common school education to all Negro youth and a high school education to those who want it. There are hundreds of white teachers in schools and colleges to whom this is all arding Negro question; and there are thousands of Negroes North and South who are deeply concerned with this same question, how to elevate those of Negroes North and South in intelligence culture and character. Then there is another class to whom the question is quite a different one. They, or their fathers, held the shaker, shaved it to be dole carvings and sent them to their dog, better than their dog, if not a little dearer than their horse. They were worth more, a thousand dollars apiece, but were an inferior sort of human beings, made to be servants of themselves, made to be servants of natural superiors. They were incapable of rising to a higher level and should be buffeted down if they made the attempt. That was quite a proper thing, but it was not a promise. If God made Norgrees to be merely a somewhat better ox or cep, then keep them such, as we put a voke on oxen or larmess on mules. It was not a promise to people, say, to set them free, and if it should have been kept under close supervision, and it was unappardonable to hold amendments to the Constitution which granted them, or were meant to grant them, and if it should rule the nation. Accordingly, in a third of the states in which slavery used to exist, laws have been put with the definite purpose of preventing slavery from voting, and other laws keep them in a subordinate position. But, whether inferior or equal, the Negroes are trailing to rise. They are determined to rise. They have leaders who tell them it is their duty. They are earnestly and positively some who are caring to be treated with absolute equality before the law and the courts, with no discrimination, and who are ready in every possible way to fight for their rights; and other leaders who believe just as much as to the native ability of the rights of the race, whether pure black or white, who are more concerned to lift the肩 than to fight their foes. Guided by leaders of both sorts they are rising, rising with wonderful rapidity, from a state of slavery, through one of serfdom, to a state of free manhood and to it was said that they would not be able to care for themselves, that they would be a paulier burden on the nation, but they have proved an asset beyond value. But there are those—and many—who do not wish them to rise above the servile state. They still declare that their proper state. They insult them to the extent that good as they are. The lowest education or none at all, is enough for a servant, a peasant class. Accordingly they begrudge more than the barest elements of education, and they will be servants or inferiors. Their aspiration ballot is intolerable. It is enough that they till the rented soil or do mental Va., is county supervisor and is doing much good among the people.

Stamps made a painting Martin last week. HENDERSON, KY HENDERSON, Ky.—A delicate and unusual operation was performed on Mrs. Watson, Dixon street, Wednesday, February 26, by Drs. Wilson and Beam. work in cities. The Negro question is very sharply defined with them; it is. How shall we keep the "migger" down when he wants to race? And the question is just as definite with the Negro. How shall we rise when white men outnumber them? The question means conflict and mischief, for it is not always easy for the sober men of both races to keep their own hothands in restraint. Negroes will resent and white men will insist. They will keep the Negroes at arm's length and under, at the polls, in the car, and in the residence districts. When one man will succeed, the other may. You shouldn't there is trouble; the question becomes a burning one. Now we do not mean to say that this will—will be between the races is universal. South or North, for it is not. In most communities men are peaceful. The sensible men control. It is not the type of loyship they have in the actual, exceptional. There is some Christianity, much Christianity, on both sides. And the condition is improving even often where it seems acute. For it is the improved condition of the Terraces that stirs the ill-will of these responses. But they cannot prevent the negro from rising, and if their rising excites jealousy and malice it is a good sign; it is a sign of progress just where we need to see it. Opposition is somewhat flagrant just now and there are no more than two perilous things to be blacker than they have been since the Civil War. That is not true; the Ku-Klux days are past, though not forgotten. What mean the tone of thousands of comfortable and peaceful, if not contented. Negro homes. Ambitious people. There has been a complete change in the South as well. In the North they have a multitude of white friends, and we have been greatly pleased of late to age in a number of Southern papers expressions of hopeful sympathy and relikes of the mischievous Bleases and Nardamans. The questions may appear out. It is not the whole of the solution approaches by the increasing number of those who can see that the welfare of the community is helped by the elevation of all the citizens. Then why is it that this Negro question continues to disturb us? It is because those who try to keep the Negro in subjection are ignorant of Nergros and of human nature. They believe that Negroes inflict people. That has never been proved and is very doubtful. Even if it were true half the Negros, except along the lower cotton belt, are half white. Still further, they do not know the Negros know who is a larger proportion than of the Negros who ignorant, and perhaps—though we doubt—that are vicious. These are what they see and talk of. But these are just the ones that do not count, that are not worth knowing. To know them is to be the best that set the standard, the worthless are negligible, white or black. An agent of the James fund or of one of our Northern missionary societies who goes South to visit the Negro colleges and normal schools and more about Negros than a man who was nursed by a Negro mammy, who as a boy has played marbles with Negro children, has seen the idle class gathering about low saloons and coming to hire because he can get to live in their homes and be visited their schools or been entertained in their hotter homes. An! but that would be social equality. Well. President Rosewood was none the worse for inviting Dr Washington to take lunch with him. We ask for no social privileges for or from anybody, white or black. That goes on every day. We ask for equality. That they ask for is simple equality of legal rights. You may discriminate all you please in your friendships and your major courses, but the law should make no discrimination for color or race. We have no great Negro problem in the North because we have no laws to restrain him, an vote, he can educate, he can please so far as the law goes. Some private organizations shut out Negroes and Negroes like to have their own churches and clubs. Let them do it we do not complain; but we have no law which shuts them from the public and none which forbids a white woman to teach a colored child. That kind of a law is even more strict than ours. In short, the way to solve the question is to do equal justice to be simply Christian, to love instead of to open one's hand. As the denounced was told, merely open your hand to you hold a class of liquor. If you hard that is, and it will be hard to be simple, and it will be in simple, easy Christian was. Three Thousand Prominent Educators, Teachers and Students Near Address Delivered by Race Leader. special to THE NEW YORK ACA. Los Angeles, Cal., March 23.—When Dr. Booker T.

WALTON.) AN invitation has been extended the colored musicians of Greater New York to join the Musical Mutual Protective Union, Local No. 310, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Musicians. This local is the largest in the federation, and every white union musician in Greater New York holds membership in it. Opinions differ among the colored musicians relative to the advisability of becoming identified with the Musical Mutual Protective Union. There are many who find cause to enthuse over the opportunity given to join the union, while others regard the proposition with favor. So for the past two weeks the question of joining the union has been a burning one. At the last meeting of the Musical Mutual Protective Union the board of directors passed a resolution to admit all colored applicants for the next thirty days under a special dispensation, the applicants for membership to be subjected to a modified examination and instead of paying the usual initiation fee of $100 in a lump sum arrangements were made giving colored musicians four years to pay the money, or $25 yearly. This plan was agreed upon by the officers of the Mutual Protective Union after a conference with colored men who first made overtures to the union to give them authority to organize a branch among the colored musicians of New York. The officials of the union pointed out that no color line was drawn in the Musical Mutual Protective Union, that there were already colored Americans belonging to the organization, and that there was no reason why those desirous of becoming affiliated with the union should not be admitted to membership. The colored men who took the initiative in seeking an alliance with the union say they were prompted to take such a step for future protection. Never before in the history of New York have colored musicians been in such demand, they assert, and the prediction is made that owing to the present dance craze this demand will increase. Colored musicians are now playing in first-class hotels and private homes where in the past their services were not desired, and it is pointed out that at big dances where two orchestras are usually employed—one composed of colored musicians and the other of white musicians who are union men—the former are apt to encounter trouble later on if they do not join the Musical Mutual Protective Union. The argument is advanced that while temporary permits have been secured to play with the colored orchestras by leaders of white orchestras, competition in the future is likely to make the white musicians more exacting, and the colored musicians should be in a position to protect themselves. On the other hand, there are colored musicians who declare that they are unalterably opposed to joining the union, being unable to see what good it is going to do them. Those who take this position seem to be a bit suspicious of the union's special dispensation, and say if the colored musician was not getting plenty of work no extra inducements would be made to get him to join. According to the opposition, while the colored members of the Musical Mutual Protective Union have hired white musicians, the latter have never returned the compliment. This, it is declared, substantiates the claim that the union would not interest itself in getting colored men work, even if they were members. If the officers of the union have ulterior motives in admitting colored musicians under a special dispensation, as charged by some, it should not be forgotten that the union did not make the first move to take in colored members. And investigation would probably bring to light that these concessions were made upon the request of the colored men deeply interested in having colored musicians affiliate with the Musical Mutual Protective Union. But, after all, the question is an economic one, and each colored musician will decide it according to the way he thinks his interests will be best conserved in the future. If, in his opinion, his bread and butter depend, to a large degree, on his affiliation with the union he will make application for membership. If his views are to the contrary he will not worry about joining. Members of the race not directly interested in the question at issue regret that it has been necessary for the Musical Mutual Protective. Union to make certain concessions to colored musicians not incorporated in the by-laws and constitution of the organization. That it is necessary for the union to give colored applicants a modified examination in an admission that all colored musicians are not qualified to undergo the usual test to which applicants are subjected. As the colored American of to-day is only asking for a fair chance to prove his worth in competition with other races, it does not speak any too com- DRAMATICS AND ATHLETICS THE WEDDING OF MARY AND JOHN MR. and MRS.

LAFAYETTE THEATRE Real showmanship was shown by Messrs. Johnson and Fluegelman in the make up of the bill presented at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week. Acts attracting more than passing interest graced the footlights, with the audience being above the ordinary; in fact, there was a full house at Monday evening's performance—something that has not been in order at the Lafayette for months. S. H. Dudley his temporarily thrown aside the cares of conducting a booking office and is appearing in a vaideville sketch, surrounded by a dozen male performers. The act, which does about thirty minutes, contains a number of amusing situations, some bright lines and is entertaining throughout. There are two scenes, one showing the office of a hotel and the other the deck of a yacht, where a minstrel first part is given with the performers dressed as sailors. Mr. Dudley scores his biggest hit as a band director. William Ramsey and Matt Marshall are with the act, and Patrick, the mule, should not be overlooked. Harlem has put its official on on the vaideville offering. Luke Coates, the mule, should have an act which bubbles over with ginger and action. Everybody can dance in this turn and everybody's doing it. The tall male dancer is very loose and light on his feet, while the comedian is very much of an acrobat. As for Miss Coates, she wears stunning costumes and does most of the singing. Monday evening the act was a riot. Anita Bush and Girls have a neat singing and dancing act, which has been put together with good taste. Miss Bush is assisted by three girls, one of whom is Grace Johnson, who would greatly strengthen any act. A big hand was given this act to her finish. She is singing at an audience, does the work and in young woman who supplies the smile, held the audience spellbound with their stunts at equipoise, the male member of the act being a juggler above the average. Willur C. Sweatman, clarionist, who has been appearing in vaudeville over the big time, is now leading the orchestra at the Lafayette Theatre. ST. CHRISTOPHER-HOWARD GAME DECLARED A TIE ONE of the most closely contested and interesting basketball games ever played in New York was witnessed at Manhattan Casino last Friday evening by three thousand devotees of basketball, who were worked up to a high pitch of excitement by the thrilling incidents attending the last few seconds of play in the Howard-St. Christopher game, which was finally called a tie. In the midst of the excitement members of the gentler sex unconsciously embraced male onlookers, men threw away their hats, and a number of young women found slits in their skirts and waists not in evidence before the game started. It was over an hour before the result of the match was made known. This tardiness in deciding the winner was due to unusual circumstances, and the officials and representatives of the two teams argued long and earnestly to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. The chief point at issue was whether the last basket made by St. Christopher should be counted. The hall was in the air when the game was called. St. Christopher claimed that she was entitled to the two points, which was disputed by Howard, who advanced the opinion that the ball should have been in the basket when the whistle blew. (BY CLARENCE W. RICHARDSON. The long looked for championship basketball game between Howard and St. Christopher has been played and yet nobody is quite in position to say which team is the champion. The game unfortunately ended in such a manner that each side found some little ground on which to claim the victory. But since victory, as a rule is indivisible, it was decided after an hour of agitation on the part of both teams for, what seemed to them to be their rights, to declare the game a tie on its merit. On every hand, those who did not attend the game invariably ask the question, "Why did not the referee decide in favor of one team or the other?" and, "In as much as it was called a tie, why was not the tie played off then and there?" Those who were eye witnesses, however, appreciate how difficult a task it would be to have attempted to do either. To answer the first question would be to say that it was not advisable, and the second, it was impossible amid the intense emotion and enthusiasm of the great crowd of spectators. The game up to the last two minutes of play, was as interesting and as beautiful a demonstration of first-class baseball as any follower of the game would call it. St. Charlesopter plunged into the game right at the start and got three baskets in rapid succession before Howard had a chance to get herself together, but after twenty minutes of fast and snappy play, the first half ended less in Howard's favor. At the beginning of the second half Howard increased her lead by getting three successive baskets after which, St. Christopher got one, making the score 16-10. Howard kept this lead up to about the last five minutes of play, when St. Christopher got two baskets which reduced Howard's lead to 16-14. The score remained at this point up to about the last fifteen seconds of play when Henderson of Howard, fouled and St. Christopher throw the goal which left Howard leading by only one point. 16-15. Immediately following this, both teams called time out, in order to reinforce their strength by putting in substitutes. The ball was put in play about ten feet obliquely in front of St. Christopher's basket; here the real fight for victory reached its zenith. The cry was sounded throughout the crowd, "two seconds to play with Howard one point in the lead;" the great throng stood breathlessly. The referee ordered the umbrella to be opened and Christopher got it and began pass; the timekeeper's whistle blew followed by the whistle of the referee. A basket by Lowery of St. Christopher, immediately followed but too late to count for the Howard team had stopped playing in obedience to the whistle. It was just at this point where the great issue of "whose game" arose. St. Christopher based her claim on the fact, as she said, that the ball was in the air at the whistle blew and that according to A. A. U. rules, in the air at the time of the play the basket at the time of the blinding of the whistle for time up, and the basket is made, the basket shall count" and that therefore she won by the score of 17-16. Howard admitted that the ball was in the air at the time of BIG ATHLETIC MEET (BY LUCIEN H. WHITE.) HE first athletic carnival under auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes was held Tuesday night, March 24, at the armory of the 69th Resilient, 26th street and Lexington avenue, with about two thousand people cheering and applauding the victors while commiserating with the defeated. When the starter's pistol was fired at 8:15, lock, secing off the first batch of runners in the 60-yard handicap dash, the immense drill room was sparsely occupied by spectators. But at 10 o'clock the seats were fairly well filled. The thrills were furnished in the final heat of the 60-yard dash and in the one-mile relay handicap. Frank Stephenson of Trinity Club, the former junior national champion, after winning his first and semi-final heats from scratch, won the final after being interfered with about halfway to the 60-yard dash home in 5.7 seconds. Herman Foster of Salem Crescent, with nine feet, was second, and his clubmate, A. Pendleton, Jr., from the same mark, was third. In the one-mile relay teams were entered from Salem Crescent (56 yards), St. Christopher (63 yards), Central Congregational S. S. (46 yards), Howard University (49 yards), Bronx Church House (55 yards), Knights of St. Anthony (27 yards), Pastime A. C. (34 yards), McCaddiin Lyceum (46 yards), Simar School (60 yards), and Addison University (60 yards). The first heat was won by Salem Crescent, through the magnificent running of its third man, J. Bonaparte, who overcame a lead of ten yards and gave his teammate a lead of twenty yards on the final quarter. Central Congregational was second. The second, heat was won by Pagitime A. C., with McCaddiin Lyceum second. Crescent's team was J. Bonaparte, A. C. Gorham, Lionel La. Beet. Oscar Mockins, Central Congregational, Evor W. W. Hine, R. Berdaleen, Wm. I. Walmire, J. W. Atherton; McCaddiin Lyceum, Austin Jones, R. Foranzo, A. Jones, H. J. Brown; Pastime, Myles Burke, Denis Daly, Myles McHugh, D. Shea. In the final Salem Crescent's chances were lost when Bonaparte stumbled and fell at the first turn. Shea of Pastime and Harry Brown of McCaddin had a merry fight of it in the last quarter and not until the runners were forced to stop. Shea clutch the lead. Solver of the Central Congregational came from behind and secured second place. Time: 3:29 4-5 seconds. The showing of Howard and Lincoln Universities in the various events was the blowing of the whistle but it was not on its way to the basket; it was being passed from one player to another and the basket was not attempted until after the whistle had blown. Howard therefore, claimed the victory by 16-15. This all happened in the "twinkling of an eye" and as both sides claimed that they wished, the rame was finally declared a tie. St. Christopher excelled in goal shooting; seldom did she ever miss a basket when she had the chance to shoot. Howard, on the other hand, had the superior teamwork but was considerably off in shooting. Basket after basket did she miss when shooting interference. Gilmore the best work for whole team played best line up. His rame and consistent all came. Rose and was difficult to had expected. from their reputation. From his brilliant showing in the preliminary game and during the few seconds he was in the big game, Lowery would have been a more dangerous man than either of them. But after all is said and done, the lure, trophy which was appropriated to the winner of the game, is still without an owner and therefore there is always big danger and that is to play off the tie. Howard thinks that in another game she can win by a sufficient margin so as to have no question about the victory. St. Christopher has the confidence that with another trial she can take the trophy with ease. There is a tentative agreement between the management of the two teams that the game shall be played within two or three weeks. Howard stands ready to bind herself to this agreement. It may be said here that from Howard's point of view, the referee, Mr. Tharp, rendered very excellent and efficient service and lived up to his reputation as an expert basketball official. Some St. Christopher men have expressed the same opinion. The preliminary game was played between the St. Christopher "Tigers" and a picked lightweight team composed of a combination of Salem-Crescent and St. Cyprinia Speedboys. It was a one-oned contest, resulting in the score of 18 to 3 in favor of the "Tigers." Very fast boys are the players on St. Christopher's lightweight quint. The game was not regarded as official, as two halves of ten minutes each were played. The line up: disappointing to their friends. Barnum of Lincoln, ran second in his trial heat of the 200-sard dash, but the other runners were unplaced in every event entered. In the mile relay Howard did not finish. The half-mile run, novice, was won by Thomas A. Cassidy of Knights of St. Andrew; Francis Marshall of Smart set, second, and Charles Hill of R. E. H. School, third. Time: 2:25 seconds. Harry Oltman, unattached (2 yards), F. D. Pollard, unattached (2 yards) and Frank Flynn of K. of St. A. (7 yards), finished in that order in the 300-yard handicap dash. The winners in the boy's race of one lanked up behind Katherine and Paul Bohn of St. Christopher Clinton Pool, unattached, M. Manning, and Chas. Ampy of White Rose Royal Club, Sergeant Wm. McIntyre of the New York Athletic Club, holder of the sack race record for 50 yards, essayed an exhibition sack race at 60 Clinton. He lost his balance after covering two-thirds of the way, taking a side. Two tennis teams, one from the Flushing Tennis Club of Long Island, composed of Gerald F. Norman, John T. Clark, G. F. Brewer and E. K. Jones, and one from the Turf Tennis Club of St. Mark's Catholic Church, composed of Merrill Roberts, Phaon Martin, James Luscombe and Charles Clarke, contended in the indoor tennis tournament. Jones and Norman won from Roberts and Clarke, 7-5, and Clark and Brewer won from Martin and Luscombe, 6-2. Shelton Bishop was the referee. The basketball game was between St. Christopher "Titers" and Smart Set of Brooklyn. Smart Set developed unexpected strength and played the "Titers" off their feet in the first half. Teddy Horne electrified the crowd by caging the ball from the center of the court, a long, spectacular shot. In the second half, however, the "Titers" came back and won the game. The final score was 27-23. The line-up: St. Christopher, D. C. Harding, F.; F. C. Frey, C. Green, G.; M. G.; substitutes, Wilson, Garland, Jenkins, Brown, Smart Set—Chadwick, F.; Monde, F.; M.

JEANNETTE GETS DECISION Joe Jeannette won the decision over Georges Carpenter, the French champion, on points in a fifteen-round bout in Paris Saturday night. The contest took place at Luna Park, before an enthusiastic throng of fight followers that included many prominent members of the American colony. The defeat of the French champion was a great surprise to his followem, who were of the opinion that Carpenter was the greatest fighter now in the ring. However, Jeannette was too heavy, and had no difficulty in holding the Frenchman at all stages. The fight created almost as much interest as a championship contest. The winner was so clear that many at the ringside were of the opinion that he should be given a chance to meet the winner of the Johnson-Moran battle that is to take place here on June 27. Jeannette had the advantage at the start of the contest and in the early rounds, which were marked by contin- cous infighting. Carpentine defense, and several o The American landed hear her of times, his blows stand the Frenchman. LANGFORD DEFEATS WARS. It took just two minutes from Monday to the morning of the day. It was certainly easy times for the Bostonian. Langford Watkins were billed to fight rounds, but in the first round S.S. I was a love tap, and Watkins fell to ground, holding his glove over his jured peeper where he remained a chored in a reclining position until 4th. Before Langford's first collision with Watkins' eye the latter did a bear-bugging stunt with Langford, a sort of "an until death do we part us" scene; but Langford, finally with the assistance of Referee Haley, managed to disengage himself from Watkins' brotherly embraces. In the preliminary bouts "Darkey" Griffin of Brooklyn, knocked out "Young" Green of New York in the fifth round, their weights being 122 pounds and 126 pounds, respectively. In the second bout of the evening George Robinson of Boston, knocked out Al" Wilkie of New York in the bird round. Robinson weighed in at 361-2 pounds and Wilkie 162 pounds.

The 3rd Sunday of Spring was impressive a church goes because of the face of spring and the feet of winter. Thus who wended their way to Croceen Hall showed evidence of growing development in the truth of immigrantism. Faster Bolden continued the incarnation "What would learn the prayer life of Jesus the manuel." The prayer which he refuses is found in John 17:9:26. It is in two parts. First it shows the immigrant praying for His disciples; second, praying for the whole church. All believers in Him who recognized that He had a divine mission on earth, all who believed that He was sent as the Messiah, all who accepted Him as their Master and Lord were the ones who made him a man of faith and仪仗. He was thoroughly acquainted with their needs and was well aware of their weaknesses as well as their strength. But there was something in them worth more by Him and to themselves than they could comprehend. There was a joy and a reward ahead of those who would endure to the end greater than they could possibly imagine. The Immanuel claimed these believers as gifts from the Father to Himself. He also declares that He is a gift from the Father. He openly exclaims in His prayer that "all mine are thine, and all thine are mine and I am gilded in them." Such a statement as this shows a relationship between the Father, the Son and operating Immanuel that distinguishes them as a group of workers in the world, but not of the world. Immanuel recognizes themselves as being in a new bond of union, being exercised upon by one spirit, developing a oneness of belief, recognizing one Lord and honoring one absolute King. The Sunday School had an unusually interesting session. Superintendent and teachers are proud of the spiritual progress many of the scholars were making.

Murphy, editor of the Afro-American Ledger, was the guest of honor at a complimentary dinner given by a number of citizens last Friday evening. As was pointed out by the toastmaster, John W. Rich, the function was an appreciation of Editor Murphy's efforts for racial uplift in Maryland. Mr. Rich cited a number of instances where a fight waged by the Afro-American Ledger had killed some prejudicial measure aimed at the Negro in Maryland. Among those who responded to toasts were Messra. William J. Morsell, Jeremiah Stafford, David T. Harrod, D. Sedgwick, Dr. E. J. Wheatley, Rev. J. W. MacDonald, Garence Bright, James Bright, Franklin F. Johnson and Alexander T. Williams, at whose home the affair was given. In responding to the address, Mr. Murphy said that it has always been his aim to battle unfinchingly for what he regarded as the best interests of the race. He declared that the race journal was growing-in influence each year and that the race needed newspapers in order that race consciousness, may be cultivated and oppression fought.
