The most beautiful women in the world are those of the Negro race! Artists and competent judges of beauty have long since conceded that statement to be a fact. In every hamlet, village, town and city in this country there lives some colored woman or girl whose beauty and personal charm entitle her to be placed in this class. Who are the Fifteen Most Beautiful Women of the Race in the United States?
Title: NEW YORK AGE. in connection with the management of The National Exhibition and Amusement Company, will give the people of every community in the United States, regardless of its location, an opportunity to show its most beautiful women to the discriminative and appreciative eyes of the world. Many women are lovely; in disposition, noble in character and charming in contact, and so she develops a beauty that is not always that of form and feature. She becomes beautiful because of the many excellent qualities that are in daily evidence, and so the sweet and benign countenance of the aged grandmother may vie with the soft sunny skin of youth in the development of its beauty.

Neeley, a 19-year-old Negro girl, the
daughter of Eli_Negley, M15 Hillman
street, Tittleville, is in the Hillman hospital,
badly injured, as the result of a

The girl is employed as nurse by
the family of J. J. Morris, 1204 Avenue H,
who lives next door to Stout. The as-
sault was caused by a child of Stout,
who ran through the water from the
lawn hose which Morris' little girl was
using. Stout threatened to kill the girl.
She thought nothing of the threat and
was standing on the corner of Avenue
11 and 12th street waiting for a car, to
go home from work when Stout came
up behind and felled her with the bat,
Mr. Morris, her employer, witnessed the
assault, as did a motorist of the Birmingham Railway, Light & Power Co.

MARYLAND PYTHIANS
MEET IN GRAND LODGE
Southeast New York, NY
Special to THE NEW YORK AREA
SALAMBURG, Md., July 22—Knights of Pythias from all parts of Maryland adhere attending the annual session of the Maryland Grand Lodge. A parade of the uniform rank, the conferring of the grand Jodge, degrees and reports from various branches of the order are among the features of the session, which comes to end late to-night, July 22.
Various Candidates Assured of Appointment but Asked to Leave Washington.
One Candidate Said to Call at Recorder's Office for Introduction to Office Force before He Left Town-Moke Smith Demanded Removal of Colored Man by August 1 because of Election
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 22.—Notwithstanding the many avowed candidates among prominent, Negro Democrats, all with lead-pipe cinches so far as securing the appointment is concerned," the belief is growing steadily here that the influence of the Southern Serfators will prevent the appointment of a Negro to succeed\ Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, as Recorder of Deeds, whose resignation took effect July 1.
It is reported on good authority that Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who is in the midst of a strenuous campaign for re-election to the Senate, told President Wilson that August 1 must not find a Negro holding the office of Recorder of Deeds, whether it be Link Johnson, a Negro, Republican, or one of the many Negro Democrats. Hoke, Smith, it is said, used the argument with the President that an election is impending in Georgia, and the holding of this office by any Negro would be inimical to his candidacy for re-election.
Cosey Called on "Joe."
It is current rumor that A. B. Cosey, of Newark, in company with Senator Martine, called on the President's secretary, Joseph Tumulty, with whom he is on such terms of intimacy that they call each other "Joe" and "All." Cosey was informed by his chum, according to the rumor, that his appointment to the office of Recorder of Deeds would be announced immediately, but in the meantime Cosey-must not stay around Washington. He would find it to his advantage to get out of town and go back to his home home and spend the time in "watchful waiting." With absolute confidence in "Joe" word, "All" left Washington. He is waiting. Another caller at the White House was said to be James A. Ross, of Buffalo, accompanied by Congressman Smith. Mr. Ross has all along been considered the strongest candidate for the office, and it appears, from information received, that he thinks he will be appointed. At any rate, the report goes that he was assured at the White House that his appointment was certain, but that he must not stay in Washington.
Wanted to Meet Office Force.
So sure of the appointment was Mr. Ross that: before he left Washington, according to information coming from a reliable source to TID Ace, he called at the office of the Recorder of Deeds and wanted to be introduced to the people of the office force and look into the Turning of affairs before he took charge. Another report is that Ross has the indulgence of Bishop Waters, who soook Cosey because of the latter's action in organizing, or attempting to organize, a movement antagonistic to the bishop's interests.
Another candidate, Howard, of Harrishburg, Pa., was also advised, it is said, that his appointment would be sent to the Senate "on Monday," but in the meantime he also must not stay in Washington.
The general opinion that no Negro will be appointed is strengthened by the statement attributed, to Senator Gallinger that the Republicans will not be a party to any move by the Democrats to replace Negro Republicans with Democrats, placing the responsibility for non-appointment on the Southern Democrats, who are opposed, to Negroes generally holding office. The intention, as expressed by Senator Gallinger, to withhold aid from the Southern Senators will probably result in the ignoring of the colored brother altogether. In the meantime demotion of the Negroes holding positions in the various departments goes inerrily on.

Special to The New York Age
SILVER CITY, M. M., July 20—The Negro residents of Silver City, N.

Among the citizens taking action on the matter were John Gaskins, Wm. Courtney, John A. DuBionion, John Lott, Louis Neal, W. U. Scott and Henry(Woods)
The following letter was addressed to the railroad:

Mr. E. P. Ripley
President, Santa Fe, R. R. Co.
Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir: We the Negro residents of Grant Co. N. M. hereby enter our protest on the service we receive over your line between here. Albuquerque and Santa Fe. At Denning, N. M. we are refused service in the dining room and told to get what we want at the lunch counter. When we go there and order, it is thrown at us as we are not wanted there. At Rincon where there is at least a 9-hour layover, there is no accommodation provided for us either to eat, sleep or wait for the next train. At 10 p. m. the depot is closed for the night, and we have to stand out in the cold rain. We have our families with us or not.
Between Albuquerque and El Paso, Tex., we are constantly reminded of our status over your line by the tiring placer. "This Car for Negroes." Those of our race who do not know that there are black employees in the state are kept in ignorance by the employees and remain there midst all that smoke and stench. We can't see why the practice is kept of keeping that Jim Clow sign there whilst in New Mexico. Hoping you will remember some attention. I remain yours truly.
JOHN A. DU BINION, Secretary.

THE HAMPTON PAGEANT
AT SUMMER RESORTS
Special to THE NEW YORK AGE
HAMPTON, Va., July 21—Iampton Institute, the pioneer industrial school for Negro and Indian youth, is presenting graphic pictures of life among red and black men in a pagan and outdoor folk-festival, called "Gifts to the Nation," in which "the best plantation chorus in America" sings the famous Negro spirituals or heart songs. In picture and song; as well as living tables and ceremonial dances, some twenty Negro and Indian boys who have been working their way through the Hampton school are telling their Southern and Northern friends in the fashionable summer resorts and on some of the estates of the North and East the simple and effective story of this struggles and ambitions of their peoples.
The Hampton pageant opens with a recital of the Indian's girls. Arthur Harris, a Mohave-Apache of San Carlos, Ariz., who has finished two years of the machinist's trade in the Hampton Trade School, is a member of the group Charles. Martine is another interesting member of the Hampton band of crusaders. Martin, who was until recently held by the government as a prisoner of war at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, is an Apache full-blood, and the son of one of Geronimo's warlike hand. Martine is now, taking the Hampton course in farming, and plans to return to the Apaches and help them till the land scientifically. Indian numbers that lead interest to the Hampton pageant are the smoking of the peace pipe, the message of a new life, the Apache's song, the cherokee ball dance, the war dagge, and the Cherokee planting ceremony.
"into the seues, of Negro life," to quote Sydney Dodd Frissell, "are woven not only the true plaation songs expressive of the longing and spirit life of a people in houndage, but the boyant gladings of the old-time Negro dances and the dance music and labor songs of the black field hands."
"Gifts to the Nation" closes with the stirring song "Men of Hampton! From the Nation, comes the call to conservation." Hampton tradesmen are engaged in blacksmithing, bricklaying, tailoring, shoemaking. They represent the thousands of Negro tradesmen in America to-day.

Special to THE NEW YORK ACE
ATLANTA, Ga., July 22.—Collecting i.
June the sum of $2,000, and handi-
n an annual income of between $300,000
and $25,000, the office of the district
grand secretary, Benjamin J. Davis,
one of the busiest places in this city.
The offices occupy the entire four-
floor of the Old Fellows Headquarter
building; and forty girls are required
to do the work. A large sum is paid to
the office force monthly, salaries rang-
ing from $100 to $30 a month. The
order in Georgia has accumulated during
the past ten years of District Gran
Master B. S. Ingram's administration.
more than a half million dollars i.
property and pays annually to the sup-
port of the Sub-Committee of Manage-
ment approximately $5,000.
Seventeen hundred branches in the State comprise 60,000 members, 35,000 men and 25,000 women.
Under Grand Master Ingram, and Secretary Davis the order has been able to make loans to members and institutions throughout the State which have been of incalculable value in relieving financial stress. While the object is to combine the loans to small amounts that the greatest number might be benefited, several hundred has been made to members of $18,000] and Morris Brown University, Atlanta, and $12,000 was placed with the Walker Baptist Institute, Augusta, which enabled that institution to centralize all its obligations and make certain much-needed improvements. Loans to the amount of $150,000 have been made to members, schools and colleges.
Occupying the block between Bell and Butler streets, facing on Auhnir avenue, with a frontage of 204 feet on Ashburn avenue, extending 100 feet back on Bell and Butler streets, are two buildings, the Odd Fellows headquarters and the Old Echoes auditorium. Their combined values total $25,000, every dollar at which has been paid. The headquarters building is six stories. There are six stores on the first floor, forty-two offices on the second, third and fourth floors, and six lodge rooms on the ninth and sixth floors. The annual remal amounts to $12,000, and only two small stores are vacant. The auditorium, a two-story building, has eight stores on the first floor, eighteen offices on the second floor, and an auditorium 100 by 60 feet in rear of stores on first floor. This building rents for $6,000, a year and all space is taken. The order-owns other property in the city valued at approximately $50,000, stocks and bondworth $40,000, besides comparable other property throughout the State.
Besides the loans to members and institutions, the order has come to the financial rescue of two of the leading Negro business organizations in Georgia the Standard Life Insurance Company and the Atlanta Savings Bank. The last $10,000 needed to complete the capital stock of the insurance company was subscribed by the order, making possible the purchase of the registered bonds required by the State insurance law to be deposited, with the State Treasurer. When the bank was chartered last year Secretary Davis took in hand the disposal of $8,000 worth of stock which was necessary to the perfecting of the incorporation. The order subscribed to $0,000 of this amount.
Henry Lincoln Johnson, late Recorder of Deeds in Washington, is attorney for the Georgia Odd Fellows, and has taken a suite of offices in the headquarters building. He is a candidate for Grand Master at the B. M. C. in Boston in September and has the united support of the Georgia jurisdiction.
Hot Springs, Va., July 21.—Five miles north of Hot Springs, perched on the mountain side, is a settlement called Blackburg, with a population of about 150, 95 per cent, of whom are Negroes.
A neat church is well attended. Sunday school is conducted, and nearby is a public, school house, well lighted and ventilated and furnished with modern desks and blackboards, with accommodations for fifty pupils.
Instead of the one-room cottains, one finds here neat, well constructed, lighted and ventilated cottages of from three to eight rooms. Many of these homes are well furnished and neatly kept. The houses are built on plots of from one to eight acres, with shade and fruit trees and flowers, and vegetable gardens, poultry yards, with cows and horses.
Two miles south of 101 Springs is Ashwood, another Negro community of perhaps 100 people, where evidences of thrift and industry are everywhere to be seen. It is an inspiration to visit some of these country homes and enjoy the genuine old Virginia hospitality dispensed by these people of the mountains and see their musical instruments, books, magazines and newspapers, evidences of progress and enlightenment.

DR. HARRIS. GERMANY.
BERLIN, GERMANY, July 10. Dr. Thos. J. Harris of Berlin, Germany, died July 10, 1914, at his home in his seventieth year of age. He was nosed throughout the Empire as the American doctor. In 1876 Dr. Harris went to Germany with Bayard Taylor, the American Ambassador. He left Ambassador Taylor's employ after some years and entered the office of Dr. Silvester, dentist to the Emperor. Here he worked and studied dentistry, and in 1882 opened for himself a dental parlor and laboratory. Dr. Harris soon became the leading American dentist of Germany, numbering among his clients members of all classes. His home was open to Americans of both races and he entertained many notables from this country who paid their respects while traveling through the Empire. Mme 'Selkta, the Rev Dr. Morgan of Tennessee, Miss Porta Washington, daughter of Booker T. Washington; the late Miss Ella Thomas, daughter of J. C. Thomas, undertaker, of New York, and many others, were guests at his home while in Germany. Many colored people in need of assistance called on him and were befriended. Surviving him are the widow, Mrs Marie Harris, two daughters and a son, Dr. DeMaurice Harris, one sister and one brother. His family is in Berlin, save the oldest daughter, Mrs W D. Morehouse, who lives in New York at 145 West 153rd street, and the brother and sister who reside on Staten Island. A large number of other relatives by blood and marriage reside in America and in Europe.
Mr. Harris was for many years a subscriber to THE NEW YORK AGE.
SEGREGATION KILLED
IN BIRMINGHAM.
Special to THE NEW YORK ACE
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 21. — The Board of Commissioners of the city of Birmingham have had before them for several days a resolution which had for its object the segregation of the white and colored people in this city.
When the matter was brought to the attention of the colored people a few of the business and professional men quietly organized a little campaign among themselves. They got the leading colored people and white people and with their united forces made an effort to defeat the proposed ordinance.
The colored people went before the Board of Commissioners, who received them in a most courteous and kindly way, and after the colored people were heard a unanimous vote was passed to postpone any action looking toward segregation, of the races in Birmingham. This is taken to mean that the proposed action is dead.

Y.W.C.A. WOMEN REPLY TO CHARGE
In Strong Letter Mrs. Ferson President, Replies to Miss Burroughs' Indictment
OUTRAGLOUS STATEMENT
Unfounded Accusation by Baptist Worker a Libel [upon an Institution working for Womanhood of Race.
CARD FROM MRS. CABANISS
Secretary Writes a Plain to Straightforward Account of Happenings on Night in Question and Explain Life Made to Secure Accommodation for the Three Women from Washington.
In The Age of July 10 was published a letter from Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, head of a Baptist school for girls in Washington, D. C., in which the charge was made that she, in company with two girls from her school, were refused admittance to the Y. W. C. A. 121 West 132d street, on a night when a fierce electrical storm was raging. In consequence of this denial Miss Burroughs declared that she and the girls were compelled to walk the streets of New York until morning, exposed to the fury of the storm, burdened with much baggage, and without raincoats or umbrellas.
The officials of the Y. W. C. A. denied the truth of the charges, and stated that while no accommodation was available in the building, every effort had been made to secure a place for Miss Burroughs and the girls in the immediate neighborhood. It was declared, also, that all offers made by the Y. W. C. A. secretary to make such arrangements as were possible for the travelers were declined for some reason by Miss Burroughs.
Mrs. Emma Ransom, president of the Y. W. C. A. has written the following letter to The Age in reply to the charges made in the letter published from Miss Burroughs.
Mrs. Ransom's Letter.
The amazing story of allegen inhospitable treatment of Miss. Nanne E. Burroughs at the Y. W. C. A. in this city on the night of June — which was printed with great prominence in your issue of last week, is so damaging in character and mischievous in spirit as to call for a reply. When a libelous statement like this has once gone forth it is a very difficult matter either to overtake it or to counteract its hurtful influence in the public mind. As president of this institution for the past six years, I am able to speak without hesitation out of the fulness of knowledge. In her statement Miss Burroughs disavows that she writes to express a personal grievance, but "to warn young women against going to this place after dark; seeking shelter and expecting to find in the air the spirit of cordiality, hospitality" and Christian welcome. Now this, I confess, is a terrible indictment to be brought against a Christian institution. Such a statement 'should only be brought forth because it rested upon a solid basis of fact that could be substantiated, or else it was conceived in a spirit of mischief on the one hand, or dense ignorance on the other.
Secretary is Woman of Integrity.
We have every confidence in the capacity, integrity and Christian spirit of our secretary, Mrs Cecelia Cabanis, and her reputation is too well and favorably established in New York City to require any defence at our hand. We are surprised that a 'woman like Miss Burroughs, who, we, would suppose, is brought in frequent contact with people of gentle manners and good breeding, would not mistake the greeting of a woman of culture for the 'indifferent, sneery, telling-you-to-move-on air.'
Miss Burroughs also seems to be disturbed over the fact that the secretary came down to meet her "clad" in a kimono. Surely she did not expect her to come down clad in a street dress. It was approaching midnight. The secretary had retired. The fact that she came down clad in a kimono shows that she had arisen and dressed hastily to come and respond to their need. Again Miss Burroughs says, "We did not have the pleasure of gown through the place, but we are just as certain as that we are alive after that ordained that there was room enough in that place for three more women." That is to say, through the courtesy of the editor of The New York Ack, Miss Burroughs informs the world that our secretary deliberately lied to her about lack of accommodations while turning her and her companions out, into the night.
Made Outrageous Statement.
To say the least, this is most outrageous. If we did do, such a thing, it was brutal and outrageous treatment, and if we did not do it, conversely, it was brutal and outrageous for Miss Burroughs to say so. It is more than that. It is a libel upon an institution which

accommodations iar exceed var capac:
inside of forty mutes seven girls whe
applied had ta he refused for lack of
accommodation. These girls were rec-
ommended to nearby homes, which we
frequently use when we have no room
in or home. Now these are. the facts
as stated by our secretary jin a letter
addressed w the editor of Tite Ace:

Ealtor The New York Age,

cerning Uie matter published In
Inst week's cope of The Age with
Feeard. to intinspitaljty in, the
Young Women's Chrisiaay) Asse
cladon. . .
FAHOUL a Week ARM, three youn
swomen. froin. Washington applied
to us about 11:20 pm, for accom
modation tor the night, As usual
Our limited dormitory” space (1S
Single beds) was all taken with the
exception of one single bed: so We
could not accommodate three, but
aerea to send them wo a.place jy our
Block, either to Mrs, Sadie Baker
at 40, or-Mlss RE, Tucker at 14
‘The young women ubjected, saying: '
they did not care to Ko to New
York lodging houses, We then of-,
fered to call up some of the people
Mr In whose homes we had stopped *
asking them for accomninodatinns
for. the lidies, nantely, the houses
of Mrs, Jus. L. Curus of 225 West
134th St, Mrs, W. E. Gross of 219
West, ith St, of Sirs, Alexander
+ Walters of 208 “West” tsi St.
When’ these ‘offers were refused,
then the Working Girls’ Home of
192" West 31st St. was suKRested,
since there seemed to be a preter: «
ence for accominpditivn In. some
Institution. All_of the places men
Uored were neurer than the near-
Net cap line, “and several of ‘uiem
Nere passed in fexhing the car.
The Pennsylvania Station seemed
to be more desirable than any of
= athe above named places: why we
fare unable to understand.
Very truly,
4+. CECELIA CARANIS,
fa. ‘Seeretary.
f TAs our secretary has shown, we of:
' fered to ‘secure accommodations for
Miss Burroughs at, two or three differ-
ent places in the same block and within
tw6 or three doors of our association
building.
Not Asked to Sit in Office All Night.
Miss Burroughs was not gsked to sit
in the office of reception ruom all night,
because no one imagmed a woman of
her standing and ~pronnnence would
want to do that in preierence to resting
in a comfortable bed in a ygood home.
1 it is true that she and her scompan-
jons went out and stayed in the street
all night, it is because she deliberately
willed to do so aiter refusing to ac-
cept accommudauions in’ some of the
best homes in New York, which we
placed at-her disposal, and offyred to
secure for her. *
Tt.is quite evident that Miss Bur-
roughs is bent oit inischiet and seeks to
do us harm, when in her ‘statement she
goes of to say: “A campaign for a
great building for the New York Y. W.
C. A. is now on. I pres@me we poor
mortals will have to stand on the curb-
stone and wait until ‘the attendant’ at
che door condescenls tw come out thece
ind tell us that we cannot be accommo-
fated.” It is true that we have had a
yampaign to secure a building It is
iso true chat a largé number of our
awn people have loyally subscribed to
this building. It is to provide against
the crying necessity of being compelled
to turn away applicants ior admission
that, makes such a building somurgently
needed, As a: woman working for pull-
fic,'welfare, how can Miss Burroughs
justify herselizby rising a hue and ry
against!us for securing a builng to
rect the very need against which she so
pitterly complains ? —
4) We are loath to believe that a fair-
minded public is unwilling to permit the
jngry shafts of Mist Burroughs’ wit te
(round an unoffencling institution. Miss
Burroughs assails our spirit and im-
Sugns ouz,.motives in her statement. She
‘s herself ‘at the head of an Institution
which is seeking to render a measure of
tocial-service, but a careful reading of
“yek article will disclose. most convine-
ingly both her gentle culture as well as
tet general atmosphere of the spirit of

Teswecke [xstirete, Ala. July 21—
A few days ago, Governgr Emmet
O'Neal of Alabama, addressing one of
the agricultural colleges—there are
nine of them in Alabama—for young
white men, said that if he was
prouder of one thing more than an-
other in his administration as gover-
nor of the State, it was in the liberal
ity, of the ‘legislature in supporting
the agricultural schools and the prox:
ress the schools had made, wot only
in teaching and experimentation, bin
in opening the eyes of young white
men of intelligence to. the prssibil
ities of the farming industry in Ala-
bama, He went on to say that where
once farming was either a luxury or
a necessity, now it is a big business.
and only. prepared men of sound abil-
ity. would be found’ in it ten years
hence” a (ee
‘The South is reallf undergoing a
revolution in farming; and the farm
lands there are becoming the best

rotation, “seientitic eultivationsand the
show given the small .husbandries,
together with the general diffusion of
intellivence as to. farming, have all
hag a striking bearing on the:notable
improvements in farming — Most of
the big experiments in agricultural
development are being made in the
South, and many.of the big salaries
paid for ixrm ianagement are being
paid out to managers of Southern
jarms. Also, the old plantation idea,
that embraced forty mules and a
thousand acres. is givitig way to the
small farm idea that involves rotation
and intensive farming.

‘great agricultural building, its 2.400
acres, 1,000 of which are under culti-
vation, Tuskegee Iistitute hus devel-
oped one. of the’ great agricultural
schosls of the South, Graduates
irom this department are iq, demand
in almost every state in thé Union,
and very oiten flattering salaries are
held out as'an inducement to young
men to manage farms, teach agricule
ture, or head colonics. The post-
tourses, abreast of the striking agri-
cultural progress of the times, and
the regular course. both in the theory
and the practice, has received the en-
dorsement’ of leading agricultural

THE NEGRO FARMER
A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers.
It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers.
Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman."

DARKTOWN FOLLIES ON RETURN
HILL'S FOLLIES REPEAT.
IT seems that local colored theatrеgoers will never tire of J. Leubrie Hill's Darktown Follies. This week the company is serving as a magnet at the Lafayette Theatre, and there is every indication that the attraction will break the unequaled record it established the first week of its engagement last fall. Monday afternoon and evening many were unable to secure seats, and the "Standing Room Only" sign has been leading a most strenuous career. Even the heat has not had a tendency to keep down attendance. The members of the Darktown Follies seem to be as pleased to return to the company's first love, the Lafayette Theatre, as the theatrеgoers are anxious to have them pay a return visit, with the result that the thespians are enthusiastically entering into their work and giving finished performances, while the public is attending the show in large numbers.
The same tuneful, exhilarating, inspiring song hits and the same animated, picturesque and well-conceived dance numbers which made the Darktown Follies so immensely popular in Harlem some months ago continue to stand out in bold relief above all other features. "After the Ball, That's All," has not been robbed of the honor of being the stand-out song of the show out of a "gang" of liits. This number is generally regarded as the strongest finish used in a musical production in years, and although Ziegfeld's Follies of 1914 and other Broadway shows are using it, many theatrical producers are visiting the Lafayette Theatre this week with a view to incorporating "After the Ball, That's All," in their productions next season. But as one white manager confidently expressed himself: "The trouble is, after you get consent from J. Leubrie Hill to use the finish, you have a mighty hard time getting white performers who can 'ball the Jack' and do the 'Eagle Rock' as effectively as the colored performers." Among the other songs in "My Friend From Kentucky" to hit the hull's eye at each performance are "Night Time," "Dear Old Dixie," "That's the Kind, of Man I Want" and "Rock. Me in the Cradle of Love."
In the Darktown Follies everybody can dance as well as sing, and a better working chorus cannot be found in the theatrical world to-day. In the third act Johnnie Peters gives several styles of modern dancing, assisted by Ethel Williams, Mae Brown and Erma Baptist, and this terpsichorean exhibition is well worth seeing. As for Ethel Williams, she has not lost any of her remarkable energy or dexterity. Once more it must be said, she is some dancer.
Anthony Byrd is alternating with J. Leubrie Hill as Mandy Lee and is giving a pleasing performance in the role. Sam Gaines, as Jasper Green, has strengthened his character, if anything, while Julius Glenn is seen to better advantage as Jim Jackson than during the first engagement of the Darktown Follies at the Lafayette. Sally Byrd is singing better than at any time during her career. She is the foundation of the chorus, and her work in the opening chorus of the first act and in "Night Time" is meritorious and worthy of serious consideration. Will Brown as Bill Simmons gets better and better as a straight man, and Evon Robinson. Alice Ramsey, Lillian Bratford, Ada Guy and Toots Davis are among those to get into the fidelity.
The scenery and costumes being used by the Darktown Follies are far more pretentious than that carried some months ago, and it can be said without fear of contradiction that the female members of the chorus are good to look at.
The big success of the Darktown Follies at the Lafayette this week is due to a combination of circumstances, and it should not be overlooked that one of the contributing causes is that the theatre management has not changed the prices of the house because of the unusual attraction, but is charging the same price of admission as heretofore—Matinees, 5 and 10 cents; evenings, 10, 15 and 25 cents.

Jasper Green, rich colored plantation owner of Leesburg Va. Sam Gaines Julius Lee. Katie Bagnett Susie Lee. Farn Japhet Emmaliner Lee. Clariss Wright Emmaliner Lee. Francis Wood Clemather Lee, his oldest daughter. Lillian Bratford. Jimmy Moon, country lad, very busy Jim Jackson Lee, Jasper's son-in-law. Jim Tray Mahaly Lee, Jasper's oldest daughter.

THE TANGO PICNIC.
BY L. P. WILLIAMS.
An enthusiastic crowd in high spirit and in the mood for amusement was present at Aida Overton Walker's tango picnic at Manhattan Casino, July 16.
Long before the program started the boxes were filled and people were guarding standing room, stretching, and craning their necks in an endeavor to see. Nor were they kept waiting long, for at 9.45 p.m. the orchestra began the festivities, which waxed in intensity as the evening waned. Everyone seemed to catch the spirit of the modern dancers. Although other numbers on the program were well rendered, the dance artists received hearty applause. It was indeed a tango dance feast.
As predicted, Aida Overton Walker was the center of attraction and the favorite of the evening. In her five original dances, Maxixie, Hesitation, Tango, Southern Drag and Jiggerce, Mrs. Walker came up to all expectations. The Southern Drag received the greatest applause. She was assisted by Lackaye Grant. Mrs. Walker wore a beautiful gold colored creation of satin chiffon and sparigled net, bringing out the effect of an Oriental costume.
After Mrs. Walker, the Fan Tan Club of Newark, composed of three couples—Mrs. Lillian Johnson and Ernest Baxter. Mrs. Leroy Baxter and Fred Thomas, and Miss Grace Baxter and Dr. Leroy Baxter—in the "Fan Tan Trot," were enclosed. The women were dressed in white, with colored sashes, and the men wore white trousers; black coats and pumps. The versatile Three Ver Valians came in for a large share of applause. They rendered high class gymnastic stunts, exhibitions of modern, buck and acrobatic dancing, and several musical numbers on cornets and trombone.
The orchestra accompaniment to Class. Gipin's recitation was the most beautiful part of his number. The large hall made it hard for those in the rear to hear. This caused inattention, which spread throughout the hall. Miss Maggie Davis and Harold Parker, assisted by the Tango Girls: Nettie Anderson, Ethel Hill, Leola Hill, Milldren Smallwood and Helen Brown gave a snatch of music comedy. Other numbers - were Arthur (Strut) Payne, singer of old songs: Miss Mattie Marshall and Benj. Wright, in the "Dream Waltz"; Miss Sallie Green Byrd, who delightfully sung three songs, and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Grey, who cleverly executed the "Walker" Tango. Music was furnished for the occasion by the New Amsterdam Musical Association, under the direction of J. R. Burroughs.
Though it was fearfully warm, the crowd was not deterred in the least from its inclination to dance.
Among out of town visitors present were Miss Hattie Jones, of Savannah, Ga., the guest of Miss Wilson, 126 West 139th street; Miss Nellie Watts, of Atlanta, Ga.; Mrs. G. E. Allen, of Brunswick, Ga., the guest of Mrs. Grace Stallings, 33 State street, Brooklyn; Mrs. John Yager, of Baltimore, the guest of Mrs. W. S.

I. the guest of Dr. Leroy Baxter, of East Orange; Mrs. Frank Dittson, of Asbury Park; Mrs. Belle Merriman, of Chicago, the guest of Mrs. Kate Carbin, 44 West 136th street.

Hart and Richard Clark, in charge Robert Hamilton, Henry Overpeck, G. Meyers, Raymond Hargrave, Elton Wilson, Eugene Rhodes and J. Shipp, Jr. were ushers.

MEMBERS BETHEL A.M.E.
CHURCH WRITE LETTER
Bishop Tyree Ordered Deposed Officers Reinstated, but Pastor Did Not Obey
Pastor Wrote Bishop and Said He Removed only One Man from Office, but the Members' Say Six Officers Were Dismissed-Seven Members Sign Letter in Reply to Pastor's Statement.
Dissatisfaction because of the action of the pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church in removing without prior notice or explanation a number of the oldest and most prominent officers from their position is still causing a restless condition among some of the members. Bishop Evans Tyree was appealed to in the matter, and on the representations made to him by the members of the church it is said that he ordered the 'restoration to office of the deposed men and women. The report is that this order was transmitted to the pastor, the Rev. B. W. Arnett, by his brother, the Rev. Henry Y. Arnett, of Philadelphia, who was sent over by the bishop for that purpose. The commands of the bishop were not obeyed, but instead the pastor presented his side of the matter to the bishop in person, and by letter, and in consequence the bishop rescinded his ultimatum.
The disaffected members, led by H. H. Deinis, who was deposed from leadership or class 14, addressed a letter to the pastor, under date of. June 8, in which he was asked to give a public explanation of his reasons for removing H. H. Deinis from office. The pastor, it is said, did not reply to this letter, but in a local newspaper was published an article, reputed to be authorized by the Rev. B. W. Arinett, in which he justified his action as being for the good of the church.
Statement by Disaffected Members.
H. H. Dennis and others have written the following letter in reply to the statements attributed to Dr. Arnett: NEW YORK, July 13, 1914. To the Editor of THE AGE: Please allow space in your valuable paper that we may answer a publication, under date of June 8, 1914, as coming from the Rev. B. W. Arnett, pastor of Belhel A. M. E. Church. Class 14, of which H. H. Dennis' was leader, met and drafted a personal letter to Dr. Arnett, over their signatures, asking him to give his reasons for putting their leader on probation. This letter he has treated with contempt. The servant is not greater than his master. His master is the people and he is their servant. The sooner he recognizes that fact the better it will be for the church. First, he claimed that it was for the good of the church, and not for any personal feeling toward his brothers and sisters. His own actions and words contradict that claim.
Second, he claimed that the leaders should be of sound judgment and Scripture readers, and truly devoted to God. Education is no proof of godliness, but a man truly converted to God will treat his brothers and sisters as God commands him to.
Bishop Tyre wrote that Dr. Arnett stated that the officers were removed by request of the official board. Later on another letter was received from the bishop, which said:
"In looking over my malt I found a letter from Rev. Arnett stating that Bro. Pinkney is the only man he has removed, and that was because he has had no class meeting for two years, and that from Jan. 2 to June 1 I was for four of those weeks he had no financial report.
"He says that you were appointed a temporary leader; that on Friday following your appointment you came to the Official Board and voluntarily turned in your book. I do this in order that I may know what I have written and it requires no answer. I am simply trying to keep myself straight as to my statements."
Say Pastor Shifted Responsibility.
We cannot see why the pastor tries to shift responsibility, but the majority of his officers in good standing will not stand for this. He asked the leader of class 14 to give him $16, and at the review he lauded class 14 for giving him $30 and odd cents, almost double what he asked for. That "of itself refutes the claim made in his publishl statement. We may stand, for some things a pastor mhy do or say, but we cannot stand for all his "wrongdoings. We are not office seekers, but we love our church and like, to know what we have done will be appreciated by one who comes among us, as a teacher.
We had that class 14 had made bigger reports in everything than most of the clubs that are now standing. So why was the leader, H.-H. Dennis, removed, if not for personal reasons? The pastor is continually talking about all the money he raises from time to time. The people realize the condition they are in and they give to keep the sheriff's sale off the church. So much has been said about class 4 and class 14 we must not forget the pastor's class, organized by the lamented and beloved Bishop Grant, which has done most effective work for the church. This class has been eliminated by the pastor. At the close of the conference year the pastor complimented this class for its splendid work, but so his return from conference he dropped the leader, without any explanation.
He did not consider the leaders as members of his cabinet, but only to bring money and go about their business.
