VOL. XXVII No. 36. CONVICT LAW OF ALABAMA TESTED CONVICT LAW OF ALABAMA TESTED Federal Government Believes It Permits Peonage and Makes Test Case INDICT PLANTATION MEN Federal District Court for Southern Alabama Holds No Peonage Committed. TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT The Decision In this Case Will Affect the Convict Labor Laws of Several Other Southern States-It will probably be Heard in October. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE WASHINGTON, D. C., June 3.—The Federal government is seeking, by means of a case brought up to the Supreme Court from Alabama, to prove that the Alabama convict law permits peonage in violation to the Federal statute. The test case is that of. a colored man named E. W. Fields, who was convicted in Monroe, County of larceny. Failing to pay the fine, J. A. Reynolds, a plantation owner, became surety for him, and, as permitted by the Alabama law. Fields contracted to work out the indebtedness during nine months at the rate of $4 a month and keep. The government charges that Reynolds later had Fields arrested for failing to complete the contract. As a result of the arrest, Fields, in court, entered into contract to work fourteen months for G. W. Broughton, another plantation owner. Reynolds and Broughton were indicted by the Federal government but the Federal District Court for Southern Alabama held that peonage had not been committed. The Supreme Court will probably hear the appeal next October. The disposition of this case, it is thought will have an important bearing on similar statutes in other Southern States.

Folk songs and compositions by colored composers made up a lengthy program comprising fifteen numbers, the final number being the singing by the entire audience of one stanza each from the songs "Suwannee," "Dixie" and "America." It was the most ambitious effort ever attempted in Dallas and its success will probably result in an annual effort of like proportions.

J., June 3- Thomas O. Johnson, son of McPherson Johnson, Newark avenue was a meadow of the graduating class of the College of Dengel and Oral Surgery of New York which held its commencement exercises at the Vololan Hall Monday evening, May 25.

He will probably practice in Jersey City. Colleges and Academies in all Sections of the Country Close for Term. TUSKEGEE SENDS OUT 200 Dr. Frissell Addresses Graduates at Hampton and Presents Sixty-Eight Diplomas. Commencement Address at Alastair Le livered by Son of the late Jellur Treat Paine-A. & [M. Alumni Erect Arch at Main] Entrance to Grounds. The annual addition to the great men and women of the world, as represented by the graduates of the various colleges and academies of the country, is in its full tide. The schools in all sections of the country have had, are having, and will have in the next few days, their commencement, exercises. Schools established primarily for the instruction of Negro youth are located principally through the southern section of the country—in the Black Belt. It is from these schools that young men and young women are being sent out in large numbers. The past year has begun one of varied experience, many of the schools passing through trying times. On the whole, however, much creditable work has been done. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA, June 2.—Tuskegee Institute's commencement was distinctive because of the exemplification of practical knowledge as well as theoretical assimilation.

A number of supplemental contributions brought the total up to $2,269. The interest-gripping commencement address of the famous pulpit orator, the Rev. C. T Walker of Augusta, Ga., delivered with unusual power and eloquence, further emphasized the lesson that men should be doers as well as thinkers. The far-reaching effects of this lesson that talk must be accompanied by deeds that are age apparent when it is stated that during the school year just closed there were nearly 1,600 students in the school representing the South, the Eastern, New England, the Middle and Far Western States, in America; and Africa. Central, America, South America and the West India Islands, including Cuba, Porto Rico, Jamaica, Haiti, etc. In addition to all this, the influence of such lessons upon the visitors to commencement is no small consideration. More than 75 people were on the ground to witness the lessons of the students, and doin "Go with the destiny of your care in your hands. Do you hear me? I say, go with the destiny of your race in your hands. Heaven help you to walk with your feet in on solid ground but with your head in the air because you thus go. Go, remembering the shadows of your people, the dull shadows, the dark forests, the great wilderness, but go rejoicing in the radiant future. "Go with the love of Tuskegee in your hearts, with its honor in your keeping, with the light it has left for the light that never was on land or sea afame in your souls, and no day will be stale and no night starless." On Monday night, May 25, the Phelps Hall Bible Training School held their graduating exercises in the chapel. There were seven graduates and four speakers. The Rev. Linwood W. Kyles, editor of the A. M. E. Z. Church Review of Mobile, Ala., preached a strong sermon calling these ministers to their new duties. On Tuesday evening, May 26, occurred the contest for the Boston Trinity Church prizes for the best two orations on given subjects by members of the school's two highest classes. The first prize of $25 was won by James Lucas, A-Middle Class, Fitzgerald, Ga., whose subject was, "Our Greatest Uncultivated Resources, the County Boy and the Country Girl," and the second prize of $15 was awarded to George Hubbard, A-Middle Class, Malakoff, Tex., whose subject was "The Demand for Cattle Raising in the South." These prizes each year are awarded by a committee composed of leading white 'citizens of the town of Tuskegee, Ala.' This year the judges were: W. C. Hurt, member and secretary of the Town Council; R. E. Thompson, principal Tuskegee white public school, and the Rev. A. L. Settles, pastor, white Methodist Church, town of Tuskegee. The commencement day procession was an imposing sight. Headed by the Institute Band, the line was made up of the battalion of young men* students in uniforms of blue; the young women of the school in blue skirts, white waists and carrying white parasols; speakers and trustees; officers and teachers; the graduating class and the postgraduating class. This year for the first time was included members of eleven classes which graduated from 1894 to 1914, the leader of each class bearing a banner denoting the year. Following these men and women who had returned to their alma mater came the visitors. In awarding diplomas to the graduates, Dr. Washington said in part. "One of the things the students in Tuskegee ought to learn is the importance of doing whatever they attempt to do well—the importance of finishing them, getting them as near perfect as possible. Sometimes, when people notice the loose way in which we do our work they say that the Negro is not capable of doing good work, that he is so constrained that he does nothing in a first-class manner. Nine cases out of ten where people make this statement—so far as there is any justification for it—it is simply due to the fact that the people whom they have observed are not doing their best, haven't been trained to do their best. "Here in the South simply because of the conditions, that were brought about by the past and by the fact that we are living in a new country where the people are willing to put an opportunity for the people who are willing to put the added increment of effort in their work to get the polish and finish of excellence. There is a great opportunity for those persons to make a success, to get what they want, to gain respect of the rest of the world. Above all, there is a great opportunity for members of our own race to do something for themselves and to do something for the race as a whole by doing something more accurate, a little more satisfactory, a thorough-going way than it is usually supposed to be done by our people. "Every colored man who does his work well is adding to the capital, the credit of the rucas as a whole. He is a people not only for himself, but for his race. For that reason, in this school, we should seek to learn, above all things, not merely how to do something in a passably satisfactory way, but also how to do thoroughly-going, highly satisfactory way—to do it in an excellent way. "And this is the message that I would have every Tuskegee graduate take away from this school with him today: Do your every duty in an excellent way—in the very yestest way they can be done."

Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, presented sixty-eight diplomas to the members of the academic senior class at the class-day exercises that were held on May 27 at the Mansion House porch. Dr. Frissell declared that Hampton had faith in its graduates because of the work that Hampton boys and girls have already done in serving the best interests of their communities. In his call to a life of courage, cooperation and devotion, he said that Hampton students must work with the white race for the uplift of all classes. They must see the best in men and women and must work for the coming of the Kingdom of God and now. They must give their lives that others may have life and have it more abundantly. Dr. Frissell read from that poem of Robert Louis Stevenson which has given so many men and women; courage in facing difficult problems: "Give us grace and strength to forbear and persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends. Soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we may be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another." Nathaniel M. Miller of Farmville, Va., delivered the farewell address. The Hampton class receiving academic diplomas represented many states and included nine "Hampton grandchildren." The average age of the girls in the class was nearly twenty-three years; that of the boys nearly twenty-five years and six months. Eleven of the senior boys began their career at Hampton Institute by working on the Shellbanks Farm. This number at graduation represented one corporal, three sergeants, one first sergeant, three second lieutenants, one first lieutenant, and two captains. The class song and the tree song, including the words and music, were written by Howard D. Massey of Townsend, Del. Atlanta University. ATLANTA, Ga. June 2—The forty-fifth commencement exercises in Atlanta University May 21 to 27 were the most finished, from every point of view, in the history of the University. The graduating class numbered forty young men and young women of unusual promise. The most important features of the week were as follows: First came the nineteenth annual conference upon the subject of the Negro and crime. This conference is the most widely known conference in the world on Negro problems. Its investigations, representing the largest body of scientific data collected by any conference in the world on Negro problems, have found their way into practically every first class library abroad as well as in this country. Next, came the commencement address by the Rev. George L. Paine, the son of the late Robert Treat Paine of Boston. Mass. The orator was a worthy successor of the long line of orators like the Rev. Philip Moxom, the Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall, the Rev. Frank B. Sanborn and many others who have honored the commencement stage in Atlanta University. One of the most enjoyable features of commencement was the game festival of the normal students of the Oglethorpe Practice School. The games had the beautiful setting of the large grove of the campus. Fully two thousand students and spectators sat on the hillsides and looked down upon a scene that seemed to be fairyland transformed into reality. There was a quiet freedom and ease that made the occasion unique in southern college life. Closing the festivities came the alumni banquet and then the president's reception. The banquet brought representatives from the oldest class—the class of 1874—who presented a large sum of money to the University. One lady of the class of '84 gave a dollar for every year she had been out; one graduate of '94 gave $150 and $200 was given in various small gifts by graduates The graduates: Collego—Buszeder Brady, Eva Cornelia Connon, Benjamin Harrison Graham, Robert Benton Jackson Jr., Bertha Estelle-Keith, Harriet Jewell Smith, Kathleen Delight Smith, Bertrand Clifton Styles, Albert Marshall Tonsil, Sidney David Williams.

There is good reasot why there should be more lawlessness in New York City in this than in the last preceding two-or three decades, among all race groups of the aggregate population. “There has been large, and [steady increase of those race groups during the past thirty years, so that the fixed and steady character of the older of them has undergone radi- cal changes, ot always for,the better of the whole of them.’ Of late years we have had an avalanche of Teutonic, Italian, Slavic andsScandi- navian immigration, and not of the best, far from it, to‘add to’the older or first stock, and within the past ten years the increase of Jewish and West Indian’ and’ Southern Negro peoples has been phenomenal ;"80 [great, indeed, that it is. like.searching a hayrack for a needle to find an fold New Yorker, in the churches, the business, the social or'the fraternal life of the colored people. : Os ae In the Tenderloin and Harlem districts the Negro population: has increased by leaps and bounds, so that it is possible for‘a close observer of thirty-five years to traverse all of Gach district without coming upof gue old resident in a hundred strangers; avid some of, them strangé-in the fost latitudinarian sense, too strange to be normal’ people, and having no other.mission’in the great city than to be ground in the crucible, that a little, very little, grist may be got out of the gradual,cyolution, They:come to New York City to better-their condition ; from our South- jern ‘States, from Africa and from the West Indies, crude as crude can be, and never take it o theméelxes that people-who are satisfied and doing fairly well in the old home, have'no disposition to seek better con- ditions in new and.untried homes, which they will haye to make, if they ean.”’ They take on the maimers, airs: and’ graces of ‘natives before they take on anything clse. In the gradual process of adjusting themselves, to the new conditions they are ground to powder as grain by the thous- ands, in the hard: struggle to feed the stomach and ciothe the back and pay the landlord, atid by the sociat vices of tale hours and too miich eat- ing and drinking, downright carousing, between moons, which goes on as methodically. and monotonously as the movements of the clock seven days and nights of thie week, so that the hours of light and darkness are burned at both ends. In the end one good, Substantial person may: be ground out of three generations who can stand the wear,and tear of thé city life. . . €.8tg = J ‘We shoul} think it strange inglced, if the same rule of “take ‘em int and cat ‘em oe did not apply with’ equal force and deadliness to the white and:mixed newcomers as it does to the black’and mixed new- comers. They all, of all colors. liave to pagg.through the jaws of Molech, and few comé out at the end of three ‘generations in any of all the groups. o Poy “ For instance, there are now in Greater New York more than 100,- 000 Negrites of all tribes‘and tongues and colors, and they are heing steadily reinforced from the inmixed stock of Africa ‘and thé West Indies.

It may -be stated, and with absolute truth, that ithe police and newspapers are producing a serious condition in the Negro districts, as the police are too free with the use of their firearms: ‘Where |Negroes-are concerned in Negro-districts they are ready to shoot when: ever there isa disturbance of any sort, dnd, because they are, those who know that the’police are disposed to give them.no quarter are also ready ito shéot and: do shoot. - oe i 4, .«This is not a good. condition of affairs for the police to'develop, and for the: daily newspapersto ‘encourage by condonatién and gross exag- geration:.’ The decent colored people protest against the methods of the policeand the daily newspapers, and they are not afraid to do it, and cannot and will not ‘be gagged into silence by not doing it. . We say it for them as their spokesman, and we mean it.

M. E. Re- view for April, in, which he says: “Before character, before industry, before education, before wealth or patriotism, Black Humanity must, first of all, acknowledge the super iority and ‘supremacy of the White God.” Again: “Alas, for the White God! Hié throne shall crumble, be- cause it rests not upon the eternal rock of Justice!” His thrones and his kingcrafts have been crumbling for centuries, while the’ rule of the people, the rule of the democratic masses, has gained strength and vigor,» concerning ‘which Bishop Berkley, apotheosizing America wrote: =e “Westward tlie course of Empire takes is way, The first four acts already past, The ya shall close the drama, of the ‘Time's. noblest offspring. is the last.” What the American democracy will do with the inheritance they received from the kings of Europe Dr. Ransom sees very clearly, in their disposition to deny the broth- erhood of man and to make “serv- ants unto tribute’? of the black and other off-end strangers among them avho are equally citizens with them.

We published a few weeks ago a communication from ‘Raleigh? N. .C., to the effect that it‘had becn de- cided to’cut the medical school cur- iculum at Shaw. University from four to two years;-also to cut out the law department and to close up the hospital. Al this seems t us pathetic and unnecessary, and we wonder why the colored-people ‘of North Caro- lina keep so quiet whilé a great and historic institution is being quietly dismantled. To cut ‘tle’ medical course from four to iwo years is the same as closing up the school and everyone knows that. \Ve‘have already too Few medical"schools in the country where our race cain be accommodated freely; Instead of closing up a medical’ scliool we ought to add two or three addition al ones in various parts of the South. a We wonder if all this does not come about on account of a few! students rebelling against the au- thority ,of Dr. Meserve some months ago. We wonder if it*is worth while to try to punish a whole race on account of what a fey thoughtless:students do. White students have marle-the sanie, kind of mistake. i . The whole matter oi” the dis- mantling f Shaw University is one that should concern every man and woman in the state of North Carolinia, especially the alumni of the. medical school, ‘The fact is Dr. Meserye has grown so unpopular with the color’ ed people inkeilegl: and North Ca- rolina, no matter how good his'in- tentions may be, .he cannot be of amy further service, in our opinion, in the educational work of our peo- plein North Carolina. Dr. Meserve is A good man ard an able man, but'we greatly fear he has made the mistake, of catering too much to the narrow prejudices and whims of certain classes in Raleigh and North. Carciten: 7 .

Quit "Laying By" and Make Every Day "Ration Day" in the Farmers' Home STRONG ADVICE TO FARMERS With 8 in Party, Using 21 Automobiles Dr. Washington Toured Montgomery County, Ala., Speaking to 20,000 People, Colored and White. Special to THE NEW YORK ACA. Montgomery, Ala., June 2—Accompanied by 84 people using 21 automobiles, Booker T. Washington stirred Montgomery county from side to center. As part of the extension work of Tuskegee Institute many tour have been made through the State, but this trip laid it over all of them. It was a more than a tour—it was a kindly eroration, a discovery and an exhibition. Booker T. Washington on a trip through the country districts is always at his best, but even Booker T. Washington over but even Booker T. followed over sixty miles of one-zagging roads by twenty-one touring cars and nearly a hundred admirers is expected to get there! "Look out, doctor," yelled an excited admirer at Little Zion long towards the shack at the afternoon, as Dr. Washington made a fatal thrust at laziness. "Look out, sir yo' done outpass yo'self." So he did, all the day and at every stop. The tour was arranged by the Montgomery Negro Business and Development League, of which Dr. William F. Watkins is president. Victor H. Tulane for the league and Clinton J. Calloway for the extension department of Tuskegee Institute, had charge of the arrangements. To Each a Gospel. During the day Dr. Washington must have spoken to ten thousand farmers and as many women and children. In every audience were many white citizens who came much the same way as the colored people came—mounted and unmounted—to see for themselves and hear for their neighbors. They stood about the educator twenty deep and tree spaced, with mouths opened and eyes expectant, all set and ready. At every stop a calcade arrayed in their Sunday best and mounted on stock both live and lively met the party a half mile from the meeting place and formed an escort of honor. To the changing multitudes Dr. Washington, with an eloquence that ran the shades of speech, delivered a gospel to fit the needs of the community. During the day he talked on Ownership, soils Soil and Industry; Ownership of the Soil and Education; ownership of the Soil and Sobriety; Ownership of the oil and Independence; everywhere the needed speech in the gospel of self-respect. Opening up at Madison Park, a community founded by a colored man, Dr. Washington spoke on land-holding, "Hold what you've got," he said, "hold it tight, get more and hold that. Dig down into it, three hundred days in the year and close it up only on undays, and watch yourself grow out of debt and into independence." The school-principal made a report showing that the people had raised more than $1,000 to supplement a gift made for school purposes by Julius Rosenwald. Breakfast was served to the party. A run of twenty miles that carried the party through the city of Montgomery brought Dr. Washington to face a great audience of prosperous farmers at Le Grand After the exercises, a country dinner consisting of everything that ever grew or breathed, was served in gracious country style. Introduced by J. P Robinson, a white man who has been a warm friend of education for a number of years. Dr. Washington made a plea for the South as the natural home of the Negro. "We have here," he said, "the finest climate and the most accommodating soil to be found anywhere under God's sun. By patience, through labor and diligence and with intelligence we may possess this land for ourselves our children and our children's children. Travel that has taken me across the deeps and through distant lands teaches me that the North in the South better off than any people anywhere who are compelled to earn their living in the sweat of their faces. Here in the South we actually have near three times a day every day in every year." Race Problems Discussed. A voyage of nine miles brought the brave Little Zion, where, inspired by a sign of love, heart songs and a wild imagination, Dr Washington launched into a discussion of racial problems that made everybody turn around and look at his neighbor. He made a plea, first for the Neuro to take, advantage of the wonderful opportunities everywhere at his door and, then, for the southern white man to come to his senses with respect to Negro educationa. A great number of hite people sat at his right. Wheeling towards them he said in a first of eloquence: We are generous with the Negro many things save in education. You will donate money to build his churches. You will ride miles to go on his bond. You will good him a doctor if he is sick; you will good him a coffin when he dies. You will take a mortgage on the air if he pushes to help him in his education, you kid him and scratch your head." Dr. Washington declared that the Negro will become the true meaning of life. He thinks that as he learns the southern white people will let go with a little more freedom. At Lyle Zion, Miss Cox, he village made an interesting report and meted Dr. Washington. She report- ed a house as valued at $290 and --- the church property at $300. Last year the people raised more than $600 themselves for educational purposes. Colorea farmers own 1,108 acres of land. The last meeting was held at Biz Zion, twenty-two miles from Montgomery, and that distance is about Zion. As the escort of honor swept over the hill, leading the party, and the church came in view, it appeared as if every Negro in the black belt had come out to meet the leader. Here are a fine school house and a good church building. All around were freshly whitewashed houses decorated for the occasion. Fully two hundred white people sat and stood in their "Amen corner"—all the meetings were held outdoors. The school report showed an enrollment of nearly two hundred pupils and a seven months terms. The teacher had been paid $300. "I want the farmers to learn," said Dr. Washington to Big Zion, "that a hour's work on Saturday will grow just as much cotton and corn as an hour on Monday. I advise, I urge, not only that the farm be kept open all the year, but that the farmers stay on the job six days in the week, resting only on the seventh. I want to see the time come when there'll be no 'laying by' time in the South; when there'll be no 'ration day'; when the soil will be worked every season and every day will be 'ration day' in the farmers' home." Dr. Washington made a special plea for the wives of colored farmers, who are kept in the fields by the side of their husbands every day except the day when the crop is sold. "Give them a chance," he said as the "women applauded, "give them a chance, to attend to their homes, to make butter, to can vegetables, to tend their gardens and, make their homes a place of order." The white people at Big Zion got a dose of philosophy on the Poe Segregation notion that has upturned North Carolina. Dr. Washington said that he had no fears tait any such foolish law will ever be put on the books in Alabama. "What an awful fix the southern white man would find himself in," he observed, "if on a hot July morning he should awake and find his fields of cotton running wild with grass and not a Negro in five miles of him. Why, he'd commit suicide." Here he urged that every, white farm owner in the South improve the tenant houses and provide schools for colored children. "You ask me why my people leave the farm and go to the cities. I will tell you." said the leader, "it is because my people go away to seek education for their children, they go to live in better houses, they go to find a happier place in which to dwell." The Tuskegeeans accompanying Dr. Washington were Emmet J. Scott, Warren Logan, R. R. Taylor, F. T. Atwell, G. R. Bridgeworth, W. M. Rakestraw, Clinton J. Calloway, Booker T. Washington, Jr. Tajor J.

LAFAYETTE IN HUMOROUS PIECE LAST season the Smart Set Company appeared at the Laffayette Theatre in a condensed version of "The Mayor of Newtown," which occasion marked the debut of S. Tutt Whitney and his associates before the footlights in New York. The engagement was very successful and an invitation was extended "The Mayor of Newtown" to make another visit to Harlem in the near future. So this week the Smart Set Company is presenting the piece in three acts instead of in tabloid form, and it cannot be said that quantity has affected the quality of the production. "The Mayor of Newtown" is in many respects a much better show, than "The Wrong Mr. President" in which the company appeared last week. The book reflects more credit on the authors, the plot more elaborate, the music more and more better musical numbers, and more ginger is displayed both in dialogue and song from start to finish. In the role of Lem Lee, the mayor, Stu Twitt Hainey, has an excellent opportunity to dispense humor, which he does with pleasing frequency. Mr. Whitmays has won many admirers, in New York since the engagement of the Smart Set Company at the Lafayette, and the opinion is present here, since the presence of dozens of people boasting medians. J. Homer Tutt, as Ned Jenkins; appears to advantage and Blanche Thompson has a better chance to show the public what she can do as a singer, than in last week. Miss Thompson is a tireless worker, who seems to be chock full of ambition; and ambition, energy and a good voice should attain for her ultimate success. In the song hit of "The Mayor or Newtown," is sung by Russell Smith who finds it necessary to respond to encounters at each performance. Among the other members of the cast whose work is worthy of commendation is that of Hattie Akers, who plays the part of Samantha Mandrake, a suffragette leader. Miss Akers would not find it amiss were she to devote much bf her time to the study of eccentric roles, for she possesses considerable native ability. Following is the cast of character in "The Mayor of Newtown": Lem Lee, His Excellency the Mayor, S. Tutt Whitney. Ned Jenkins, Lem's Portage and Advisor, J. Homer Tutt. Pedro Manuel, Mexican Halfbreed, Russell Smith. Ephraim Srow, Shoemaker and Politician, Al Strauder. Major Jinks, Civil War Veteran, Wil Dixon. Eagle Eye, Indian Chief, Frank Jackson. Jeremiah Blackstone, shyster Lawyer, Geo. Warden. Zook Swift, Town Constable, Sam Gray. Elder Toots, Preacher, John C Wright. Loco Pete, Bad Man, Blaine Waters. Leut.

Samantha Mandrake, Suffragette Leader, Hattie Akers. Alice Darling, Book Canvasser, Babe Brown. Freezie Winters, Margaret Langford, Minnie Thanks, Stella Moore. Big Vaudeville Bill Next Week. Commencing Monday, June 8, the old order of things will prevail at the Lafayette and vaudeville and motion pictures will once more reign supreme. Next week will mark the opening of the summer season at the Seventh avenue amusement house and a strong white bill, consisting of a dance and colored acts; will be presented at the regular prices—matinees 5 and 10 cents, and evenings 5, 10, 15 and 25 cents. A big bill of fifteen acts will be put on every Wednesday evening. Harlem has grown enthusiastic over the country store feature which is held every Saturday night. It is the claim of the management that no theatre in New York presents as the Lafayette. Last Saturday evening it was difficult to get seats, and a record-breaking attendance is predicted for this week. Among the articles to be given away Saturday evening will be a solid silver dresser set, valued at $20; gold and silver watches, lavalieries, silver chateau gents' gold and lavalieries gents' gold and pearhandled silk umbrella, a fifty-six piece set of dishes, statuary, gold pencil and household utensils. THE DANCE CARNIVAL. An artistic success, but a financial frost, aptly describes the Modern Society Dance. Carnival and Supremacy Test, which was promoted by Henry S. Creamer and presented at the Manhattan Casino on Tuesday, January 29, 2014. Lorraine of Milan, Italy, a famous exponent of modern dances, with Mrs. Lorraine, gave an exhibition of the Maxixe, the Tango and the International Trot. The floor was so slippery that Mr. and Mrs. Lorraine had trouble from the start, culminating in a fall. Mrs. Lorraine slipped and fell, pulling Mrs. Lorraine down also. They gave a finished and expert demonstration. Henry Creamer, with Lilliam Williams as his dancing partner, gave the Carolina Maxixe, an original creation; the ordinary Tango, the waltz divine, and wound up with the "Dark Tango," which was Creamers newest conception. The audience showed liberal appreciation. tion of the dancing of the Lorraine;s, and gave to the efforts of Creamer and Mrs. Williams their hearty approbation. Following this was an exhibition of the one-step by James E. Harris, of Brooklyn, and his sister, Miss Bernadine Harris. It was gracefully executed and unstintedly applauded. William Jones, known as 'Rocks', and Goldie Cisco tango dancers, dancer Wilhelm Williams, a cafe employee, the airplane waltz and the Astoria Maxixe. Their dancing pleased. The orchestra was a section of the New Amsterdam, with Henry Williams as director, and the music was a feature of the evening. At the conclusion of the program the few folks present engaged in dancing. "THE MIKADO." (By L. P. WILLIAMS.) THE Mikado, a Japanese comic opera, in two acts, was rendered Wednesday evening, May 27, at the Star Casino, 107th street, by members of the choir of St. Benedict's Church, directed by Mrs. O. L. Hooper, organist, accompanied by the New Amsterdam Orchestra under the direction of H. G. Marshall. The feature of the evening was the super manner in which Mrs. O. L. Hooper interpreted the past of Kisha, Mr. Hooper sang in a clear righl well-voiced voice, her enunciation being almost perfect, making it easy to understand her words. As the evening waxed old more and more applause greeted the efforts of Mrs. Hooper. Thos. W. Moseley in the role of Ko-Ko was really funny. Without apparent effort his comic gestures done in true comedian style kept the audience in a continuous uproar. The singing of William F. Jackson with his big rich bass voice was much appreciated. His-work as a whole was very good. The efforts of the rest of the *dramokis personae* were the good. Some of the voices showed signs of weakness, probably due to work in rehearsing. A specially enjoyable feature was the masterful 'manner in which the choruses were up with unity and preciseness which can only be obtained by hard and careful training. . At the end of the first act and later on many of the ladies of the cast were presented with handsome floral tributes. The cast was as follows: The Mikado of Japan, Chauncey M. Hooper, Nanki-Poo, his son, disguised as a wander- ing minstrel, and in love with Yum Yum, J. Herbert Sherkill, Ko-Ko, Lord High Executioner of Titipu, Thos W. Mosley. Thos. W.
