A.M.E.CHURCH- SOME PROBLEMS Some Important Questions for the Next A. M. E. General Conference CANDIDATES FOR BISHOP Candidates Are in the Field from Many Different States, All Clamoring for Elevation to the Bishopric. BISHOP CHAPPELLE'S WORK "Just a Few Duts—That's All," by the Rev. J. G. Robinson of Arkansas, Giving the Inside Facts of Pending Church Deliberations. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. PINE BLOUF, Ark., Oct. 20. The readers of the papers of the A.M. E. Church, when they see "Just a Few Dots—That's All," ask me questions concerning the writer. I have been writing under that caption for nearly twenty years. This happens to be my first article to THE NEW YORK AGE. But it has been a long time since I have let a week pass, without-reading THE AGE, the influence of which is felt throughout the country because of its broad-gauged spirit of dealing with public affairs. No paper in this country published by our people exerts a greater influence for good than does THE NEW YORK AGE. The fearless but conservative manner in which it deals with the political affairs of the country has given many of our people a broader vision of American citizenship, and has made many friends for the race in places where it knew not of. I did not start out, to talk about THE Age, for the feeble words that I may say will add nothing to its greatness. But because of the way this paper has been handling "The African Boat", and other matters, "posting" it in the E. Church, and because we are passing through a great campaign in the church, if campaign we may say, will be expected to manicate, and lay an expect to be at the forthcoming general conference to subscribe for and read THE Age. That editor will certainly have his say on matters that are of public importance, whether they concern the A. M. E. Church or any other organization. Many Questions Being Discussed. Among the questions that are being discussed throughout the A. M. E. connection, and which will take up the attention of the next general conference, are: "Shall the Bishops rotate?" "Shall we have an age limit for the retirement of Bishops?" "Shall there be any more Bishops elected?" "Shall the time limit as it relates to pastors be removed?" "What can be done to more effectively care for the superanquated ministers?" "Shall Bishops heard and Johnson remain as Bishops in Africa another four years?" "Shall we give equal lay representation in our annual and general conferences?" "Shall women be admitted as delegates to the general conference?" "Shall we do away with the publication department at Philadelphia and merge all of our publishing interests at Nashville, Tenn, and elect I. Bryant to manage the same?" The above are a few of the most serious questions that will come before the general conference. There is much suppressed discussion going on now. But the real battle will begin after the delegates are elected throughout the church to the general conference. There would be more discussion going on in the open, but nearly every candidate for delegate's honors is also a candidate for the bishopric or some general office. Most of them are afraid to give their views on many of the questions for fear the other fellows might not hold to the same views and take advantage of them, get the most votes, and leave them out of the general conference. But watch. As soon as the men are elected they will commence a general "running of the general conference," and make big statements about the reforms which they have advocated. Independence of. Bishop Chappelle. Speaking of Bishop Chappelle, he came to the bench the most independent man ever elected to the bishopric in the A. M. E. Church. He is the only candidate ever elected without being backed by a "state organization." At Kankas City, Dr. Hurst had the Baltimore delegation, and the leaders of that episcopal district, were behind Jim. Dr. J. H Jones commanded the third episcopal district. Dr. Conner had with him I. S.uth episcopal district. "The South Carolina delegation and headquarters were clamped by Dr. A. W. Beckett, Bishop, of Chappelle and Dr. Chappelle, who either displayed a banner with words "W. D. Chappelle's head," or he was opposed by nearly the entire bench of bishops. Also, all of the "kol glove" element in the church is arrested against him. If he had fought against "the indictment methods of the bishops and other ministers of the church until the connection looked to him to bring about reforms as would effect retrenchment and give equality and an open door 1 A Square Man Will Give A Square Deal MORE NEGRO TEACHERS PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Oct. 21—As 75 percent of the children attending Logan School, 19th and Reed streets, are Negroes, the property owners of the 26th and 36th wards, sent a petition to the school, board Tuesday, October 13, asking that more Negro teachers be appointed for that school. CITY MUST PAY $5,000 PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Oct. 21.—Because he lost his right leg from infection due to careless and improper vaccination by a municipal physician, the city will have to pay Camillus C. Howard, a Negro of 1309 Ogden street, the sum of $5,000. A jury returned a verdict Thursday, October 15. in Howard's favor for this amount after hearing the evidence "GUS" SHAW KILLED IN HOME BY SON-IN-LAW Special to TZN New York Ack Brunswick, Ga., Oct. 20. While attempting to protect his daughter, Mrs. Birnie Alethia Edwards, from abuse by her intoxicated husband, George Edwards, Charles Augustus Shaw, Sr., one of Brunswick's most prominent Negro citizens was murdered by his son-in-law, Monday night. October 12, in his home, 1309 Gloucester street. Edwards, with his wife and two children, resided with Mr. and Mrs. Shaw. A wave of horror and indignation swept over the city when news of the tragedy was circulated, and it was due solely to the discreet efforts of a number of the leading citizens that Edwards was landed in jail without becoming the victim of mob violence. The murderer is a barber, coming to this city from Charleston several years ago and securing employment in the barber shop owned by his victim. He was married to Miss Shaw shortly after she had graduated from Haines Institute, Augusta, Ga., and two boys have been born to the couple, the youngest being just a few months old. Mr. Shaw was prominently identified with the Mascaron Grand Lodge and with the Grand and Supreme Lodges of the Knights of Pythias. He was a vestryman, layreader and superintendent of the Sunday school of St. Athanasius Episcopal Church, and was founder of the Brunswick Education and Protective League. He was always keenly interested in the schools of the city, pride and virtue, and took an active involvement, augmented for the betterment of the community. He married Miss Anna Francis White, oldest daughter of the late Rev. William J. White of the Georgia Baptist, Augusta Ga., and she survives him, with four children; two daughters. Mrs. Josie, Shaw Mann of Darion, Ga., and Mrs. Bibicin Shaw Edwards; and two sons, Charles Augustus Shaw, Jr. a student at Howard University; and William White Shaw, a stenographer with the Standard Life Insurance Co., Montana, Ga. Mrs. Shaw was out of the city at the time of the tragedy, as she had stopped in Augusta visiting her brothers and sisters on her return from a visit to her son, William White Shaw, in Allenton. The funeral services and interment took place Thursday afternoon October 15, from St. Athanasius' Episcopal Church, the Rev. J. X. Thompson officiating. Every Negro business place in the city closed down and practically the entire Negro popula- WHITE MINISTERS WANT NEGROES TO COOPERATE Colored Ministers Willing Race Rights are Emphasized by Whites Impossible for the White Man to Sympathize With Race Disfranchisement and Jim Crowism, Because He Does Not Suffer from it. Special to The New York Age BARTMORE, Md., Oct. 21—The Revs. R. W. Hogue and Kenneth M. Murray, president and secretary, respectively, of the white Ministerial Union, in addresses delivered before the monthly meeting Monday of the Ministerial Alliance, urged that the colored ministers of the city seek to co-operate with their white heathen along moral uplift lines. The Rev. Mr. Hogue spoke upon "How May More Sympathetic Relations He Promoted Between the Ministers of the City Separated by the Color Emcee" he declared that as a Southerner he was deeply interested in the welfare of the race mentioned the kindly individual relations that existed between white and colored people in that section of the country, and urged that the alliance appoint a committee to take up wath the Ministerial Alliance the matter of cooperation in fighting the liquor and other questions. The Rev. Mr. Murray urged that the ministers send colored social workers to the dispensaries and the police stations in an effort to do uplift work. A number of the ministers replied to the suggestions made by the two white ministers and declared that they would be willing to co-operate, along all lines if the white pulpit did not remain silent about the rights of the race. The first speaker to make reply to the suggestions offered by the two white ministers was the Rev. George F. Bragg Jr., who declared that the colored people considered the white pulpit and the daily press as their greatest enemies: "The ministry is 'silent,' he said, 'on matters affecting our rights as citizens and the press hemlands the civil debts of the deprived element among us and scarcely makes mention of the good deeds done by these, who are making 'progressive' crimes the white state is aggressive in fact." He plumed for more intimate and sympathetic relations and praised the first two speakers for their suggestions of mutual effort. The European war, he said, was the result of one nation distrusting another and that spirit should find no place in the ministry. "The Rev. W. Edward Williams declared that while prohibition was an important issue, it took secondary importance with the race when the question of equal rights was considered by the Negro. "I have lived in the South" and know that every colored man has his white "friend". It is not the love between employer and servant that we are interested in but the broad question I human brotherhood that would wine out segregation, disfranchisement and Jim crow' laws.

Gaines declared that as a native of Georgia he loved the South and did not like to hear that section criticized, even though it has passed laws against our race. He did not want sympathetic interest, he said, but desired equitable treatment in all things. He declared that the white man could not sympathize with the race in the matter of disfranchisement aid "jim crowism" because he did not suffer from the same. The Rev. A. J. Mitchell, pastor of Ames Memorial Church, said that he favored a mutual agreement to work together, and declared that the rural school problem for colored people in Maryland presented an important question where co-operation was needed. The Rev. J. W. Norris, who presided, declared that the colored people knew the whites well, as they read their literature, but that the whites did not know anything about colored people, as they did not read race perceptions and other publications. 'He criticized school histories for eliminating problem of such race characters as by Professor Duglass and Ileury Highland Carrief. ISAAC-FISHER AND THE AGE BEAUTY CONTEST In its issue of October 24, The Negro Forum will carry the following edi- torial over Isaac Eisher's signature: BUILDING FOR FUTURE YEARS. Some Thoughts, Suggested by "The Chosen Fifteen" in the "Beauty Contest" of The New York Age. This is not about cotton, corn, peas. Pork nor poultry. The other pages of this paper are devoted to those subjects. Since the mighty Prophet of Nazareth said, once to those who thought about nothing but food and clothes that "Life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment," and since this article is to be about the finer, deeper life of the colored people in the United States, we are justified in saying that these thoughts are on a subject more important than farm crops, valuable as these letters are. "Who Are the Fifteen Most Beautiful Colored Women in the United States?" A short while ago the New York New began a contest to see who were the most beautiful colored women in the United States. The contest has closed and the pictures of the "Fifteen Beauties" lie before the editor of The Negro Farmer as he writes. And they are beauties, too. justice of, the Award: The fact that the individuals selected as "The Fifteen" are not one of the ones whom I or some one else might have selected has nothing to do with the justice of the award. The task was to select women who, while conforming to accepted canons of beauty, should retain at the same time the facial characteristics of the colored people in America. This was not easy to do. Here was one with the winsome, dainty grace of the frozen North countries—light hair and blue eyes. She had to be considered. American caste said: "She belongs to the Negroes." Here another with the dreamy eyes and the hair of jet of the lands to the south. She had to be considered. American caste said: "She belongs to the Negroes." Here is one of the type of her for whom a ratiain warrior of old was willing to lose his all. The colored race said: "She belongs to the Negroes." Here is still another—an性 nostrils not unduly large, characteristic mouth that has lost its ancient curl, but, which is glossy and black from patient care, with color that flirts between a substantial, black and a satisfying brown; and with face that his brightened under refinement's soft and gentle hands. The colored race stillAgain: "She is ours." And so on; and so on. The judges did their task well. They deserve praise. The Anz deserves still more credit for bringing up the subject. No one of the ladies not selected have any resentful feelings. We have more than "Fifteen", beauty types. The judges selected the first fifteen types—they could not do any more. All those rejected belong to that great host of "Other Beauties"; and we are, as proud of them as of those chosen, and our hat is off to the chosen "Fifteen". Some Questions. In the humble rooms of The Negro Farmer these pictures and the context has started a train of thought. When is colored woman beautiful? Must she (Continued on page 5.)

CHURCH DISCUSSES PROBABLE AUTONOMY Meeting in Nashville Attended by Men from Twenty-five Conferences Some of the Conferences are Tired of Prejudices Which Make the Election of Negro Bishops Impossible. Agents Fear Losing Fat Jobs. Special to The New York Age NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 21.-Minsters and laymen, representing the 300,000 colored members of the M. E. Church, began a two-day session here that morning (Wednesday), discussing some questions of moment, to the colored membership. The topics discussed include probable aitonomy or some such relation for the race membership; the control of the various boards that work among the race by the Negro membership; the election of bishops to supervise the work of the twenty-five colored conferences, as well as methods for reaching the peculiar needs of the 300,000 colored members. The conference is entirely informal and its findings will be only suggestive for the next General Conference of the denomination. It is being attended by men of varying opinions. There are men who have been trained in the twenty-two schools maintained for Negroes by the Freedmen's Bureau of the M. E. Church, as well as an other higher institutions of learning, who believe and think now that they are no longer wards and that the general church does not offer them the fullest opportunities as present; that growing prejudice in the white constituency shade chances for equal preference in all things more remote and that those working for an ultimate coalition with the M. E. Church; South, want to please the latter body by eliminating: the race. Agents in Doubt of Re-election. There are some others who want the race to stay in the denomination, but are opposed to discriminations, especially that which makes the election of a colored bishop well-much improbable. There are others, principally among the agents of the various boards, who believe that the ministers and laymen of their own deference should not delegate to the next M. E. General Conference, thereby greatly endangering their chances of re-election to their present position. In the Washington Conference two years ago the Rev. L. T. Thomas, field agent of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension, failed of election as a delegate to the General Conference, as did the Rev. J. W. E. Blowen, vice-president of Gaminah Theological Seminary. There are others among the public-holding element who may get the same medicine two years before. L. Garland Man, who defended the Rev. M. C. Mason as one of the two secretaries of the Freedmen's Aid Society in 1912, is also said to be in disfavor now. He has always been advertised as one of the big laymen of the denomination and now many honors through such. His against him when he vainly sought declarations claim that he saw the rising-tide con's orders from the Alexandria 'District Conference of the Washington Conference a few weeks ago. His request was refused. It would have been fought at the annual conference if granted. Booms to Elect Negro Bishops. With these conflicting elements in section—one agreed upon, policy that means larger opportunities resulting from race control and the ridding of the ruling of the race contingent through the colored agents of the various boards, another bent upon saving for themselves the offices that they now hold or their selection for others equally good and still another auxiliary to secure full opportunities within the church—the result cannot be foretold. Incipient booops for the election to the bishoric of the Revs. I. L. Thomas and J. W. E. Bowen were started, while Bishop L. B. Scott, Dr. Ernest Lyon and others were on hand to restate that they did not believe that the colored membership would be given the fullest opportunities from the white element and that some sort of autonomous relation was more desirable than present conditions. A hint of the bitter feeling engendered when I. Garland Penn succeeded M. C. B. Mason as one of the secretaries of the Freedman's Aid Society was noticed when a number of those in attendance greeted the latter and declared that they waited to see him returned to his old position. The conference is the first of its kind ever held by the colored membership. Usually the ninety colored delegates to the M. E. General Conference have been so absorbed with the general questions coming before the denomination that they have not had the time to consider the general needs of the race. The German Conferences recently held a meeting to consider their special problems and those here declare that there are many questions affecting the race the need special consideration by those most interested.

NEGRO GIRL MAKING GOOD RECORD AT PRATT Miss Sarah Hudson, daughter of Prof. R. B. Hudson of Selma, Ala., is a senior at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn. According to the officials of that institution Miss Hudson has made a splendid record, doing the best work in chemistry of any girl student in the past seven years. HAD WHITE HUSBAND.

After writing a note in which she declared that she had wrecked her white husband's life, Mrs. Elizabeth Montague, 4310 Woodland avenue, blew her brains out by a shot from a revolver, Tuesday, October 13. She is supposed to have committed the act in a fit of despondency. TUSKEGEE TO HAVE VETERINARY HOSPITAL SPECIAL IN THE NEW YORK AREA TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Oct. 20. In order to help Tuskegee Institute meet the growing demand for colored veterinary surgeons, a gentleman in New York has just provided means with which to erect, a modern, up-to-date veterinary hospital at the Tuskegee Institute. Plans for the building are being prepared, and it will be erected within a few months. TO TEST VALIDITY OF SEGREGATION LAW Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 21.—The final draft of the injunction proceedings that the colored citizens will institute in the United States Circuit Court looking toward a judicial interpretation of the Curtis Segregation law is about completed and will be made either 04:00 Thursday or Friday. C. C. Firzergel is the attorney in the case, and he will have the assistance of W. Alsbich Hawkins and possibly other attorneys. The case grew out of the reting of the property at 1029 Etting street to a Hebrew, groegerman. The police informed him that he would conduct business there, but that his family could not live there. The legal proceedings will take the shape of an attempt to secure an order restraining the Mayor, City Council and the police from interfering with the tenant or with the owner the Rev. W. V. C. Hughes of Washington. It is expected that the matter will reach the United States Supreme Court for final adjudication. Should the decision be against the validity of the law it will probably end such legislation in this country. Every colored man should vote for Whitman and Wadsworth and the entire Republican ticket. To do so he should make a cross mark in the voting space under each eagle emblem on the ballot. USA PROVIDING FOR NEED IN TRADES Failure of Young Men to Learn Trades Reduces Number of Negro Artisans CHANCE FOR TRAINING Opportunity Is Given at Tuskegee Institute for the Young Negro to Become Skilled in Various Lines of Mechanics The Demand for Competent Workmen in Industrial Lines in the South Opens an Avenue of Endeavor for any Man who Will Qualify by Study. Imperial to THE NEW YORK ACADEMIC TO THE TUSKEGGE INSTITUTE, Ala., Oct. 20.—In view of the decrease in number of Negro mechanics and the gradual supply of skilled labor by other races, the effort being made at Tuskegee to furnish opportunity for Negro boys to acquire the various trades assumes an interesting importance. Some of the industries for which the school provides special facilities in instruction are shoemaking, brickmaking, harness making, carriage trimming, blacksmithing and wheelwrighting. In shoemaking the foreigner has usurped the field formerly occupied by the Negro by securing bigger quarters and new machinery, and doing swifter work at greatly reduced prices. The colored men made little or no improvement in their shops and consisted too much time both in making shoes and in repairing. At Tuskegee the shoemaking division is one of the busiest in all the institution. The student is offered every convenience known to the trade, and a perfect theory. The shop is equipped with the latest machinery, including Goodyear, welt and Goodyear turning machines and lock stitchers, a welt channeler, bobbin winder, welt groover, welt splitter and two W and W upper-making machines. Young colored men who catch the spirit of modern methods and apply it to shoemaking will find it profitable, for shoemaking offers ceaseless work and large profit. Brickyard at Tuskegee. Testing clay for making bricks is somewhat fewer than making bricks without straw, but both clay and straw have come under scientific study in putting our good bricks. As "off-hearers" and "setters" and "bedders" colored men have long controlled the yards of the South, but they have not appreciated the possibilities of brickmaking as a business. Nearly every Southern State has its modern brickyard, the increase in building construction creating a demand for the increased output. Even press brick kilns are being established, and these, with the making of common brick, afford work for thousands of men. Asuskeged one of the large brick-kilns of the State, the equipment includes a Brewer brick machine, pug mills, clay crusher, clay elevator, and steam boilers. Young men are given an opportunity to learn the science, the trade and the business of brickmaking. All the brick used in the erection of the many buildings of the school and many of the buildings in the adjacent territory were made by students learning the trade. The course includes both theory and practice, the analysis of clay for making various kinds of brick being as important in the course as plating a kiln. Harnessmaking as a Business. Colored men of the older school have made money and built up good trades as harness makers and repairers, and in some cases, as carriage trimmers. The old school, however, is dying out and there has been no effort on the part of the young generation to all the vacant places. The demand for men who know harnessmaking and carriage trimming is on the increase in the South by reason of the coming into that section of the carriage and harness factors. The use of the automobile has increased the use of harness and leather trimming and consequently increased the demand for skilled workers. In the Tuskegee shops an idea is given of this line of work a business undertaking as well as an opportunity for young Negroes to learn the trade. The course takes the student from learning the pamphlet and care of tools to making of single and double harness, machine stitching, pattern cutting, trimming open-top baggies, diamond blunt work, shrimp goods and pattern making. Most of the harness used by the school besides a great deal sold to the public, is made by the students. All the carriages and baggies made in the wheelwright and blacksmith shops of the school are trimmed by the students. Blacksmith Find Plenty of Work." Up to fifteen years ago the Negro had a practical monopoly of horseshoeing and blacksmithing. But the young man are not taking the place of the old ones who drop out and the number is decreasing each year. There are big demands upon the blacksmith in any agricultural section and he finds plenty to do at good wages. Blacksmithing and horseshoeing was one of the first trades --- installation at Tuskegee, and it was one of the first needed. From the class, room the student goes direct to the big shop where practice is done on the repairing of the school's many vehicles and on the hundreds of head of live stock whose feet must be kept shod. The shop is furnished with nine big forges, Champion blowers, one portable forge, with a 120-pound anvil for each stationary forge. There is a tool bench for each forge supplied with every tool needed in blacksmithing. The theory carries one through a study of iron work, through the study of the anatomy of the horse's foot, axle and fire welding, building and repairing wagons and carriages, the use of iron, steel, oil and borax. Father and Son-Head Wheelwrights. Wagon factories are being established in all sections of the South and the Southern farmer is now buying his wagons at home where formerly the farther away the wagon was built the more it was appreciated. Many of the leading wheelwrights of the South are colored men, and in the big wagon factory of James & Graham Co., of Memphis, Tenn., several of the head workmen are colored men. In one case a father and his son are both head workmen. George James, the managing owner, says the firm would employ more colored men if they were to be found. The wheelrights earn from $21 to $30 per week. In the smaller towns of the farming districts there is a big demand for wagon, buggy and carriage workers. At Tuskegee the young man who cannot serve an apprenticeship finds a splendid opportunity to study wheelwrighting. Besides repairing vehicles and farm-implements for the school there is also going on constantly carriage and wagon building, not only for the school, but for citizens in the adjoining territory and many at a distance. This division has von many prizes at state and county airs for excellent work. Each pupil is provided with tools, including cross-cut law, a coachman's vise, chisels, augur arms, drawing spokes, spoke shaves, while many tools are reserved by the instructor for use when needed. From selecting stock to laying out Thimble Skein sizes the course is thorough and offers first-class training. RALEIGH CITIZENS RALEIGH, N. C., Oct. 20.—An effort being made to interest the Negro business and professional men and women of this city in the movement by which philanthropy charity will be dispensed to the Negro poor. The Associated Charities, a white organization, with the Rev. R. C. Stephenson, superintendent, dispenses aid without discrimination to white and colored alike, and some of the colored citizens donate annually to that organization. Among those contributing annually are Col J. H. Young, $12; Britton Pierce, $12; Capt J. H. Hamlin, $3; Dr. J. H. Love & Bros., $3. The Ministerial Union collected from the various churches a few months ago $36 which was donated the Associated Charities. DOWNINGTOWN SCHOOLS OPEN 10TH SESSION Lincoln to The New York Aco Downtown, Pa., Oct. 20. Downing- ton Industrial and Agricultural School, the Rev. Wm. A.

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." DR. BOOKER T.

WADS. WORTH, JR.? He is the Republican candidate for U. S. Senator. He is the grandson of JAMES S. WADSWORTH, who, with JOHN A. DIX, was appointed a major general of New York volunteers by Governor MORGAN at the breaking out of the Civil War. It was JOHN A. DIX who sent that ringing telegram to the Union soldiers at the South, "If any man hauls down the American flag, shoot him on the spot." General WADSWORTH was killed in the battle of the Wilderness: He aided in the formation of the Republican party and was the Republican candidate for Governor of New York in 1862. His father, General James W. Wadsworth, entered the army as a boy and left it a brigadier general. He was a member of the Assembly of this State in 1878 and 1879, and became State Comptroller in 1880. He was a Republican member of Congress from this State and served in the forty-seventh, forty-eighth, fifty-second, fifty-third, fifty-fourth and fifty-fifth Congress. JAMES W. WADSWORTH fought through the Spanish war and his great-grandfather fought in the Revolution. Thus he is a soldier and the son, grandson and great-grandson of a soldier. He married the daughter of the late JOHN HAY, who was ABRAHAM LINCOLN's private secretary. What better antecedents could a man have to commend him to colored voters. He is not only a Republican but a fighting Republican from fighting Republican stock. His service as presiding officer of the Assembly of this great State has given him the experience necessary to protect the interests of this State and of his black fellow citizens. We need him more than he needs us. We need him especially, because the United States confirms or rejects the President's appointments, and confirms or rejects all transfers and promotions in the consular service where we have some colored men still serving. Remember we have HUNT at St. Etienne, France; CARTER at Tamatare, Madagascar; LIVINGSTONE at Cape Haitien; PAYNE at St. Thomas; WRIGHT at Puerto Cabello, and one or two others at minor posts. We need a fighting Republican in the Senate to protect them in case of transfer or promotion. WADSWORTH, with the best traditions of Republicanism in his blood, with firm determination in his heart and with his experience and his splendid abilities, is just the man to do it. It is up to the Negro voters throughout the State to vote for WADSWORTH and the entire Republican ticket. It's an ill wind: that blows nobody good-The war has proven a Gadsden to the Democrats; but whether it will prove sufficient to entirely save them in the coming elections, remains to be seen. STRANGE GODS. 'If there arise, among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or wonder, The prophets have arisen and the dreamers of dreams have told their visions, but no sign or wonder has come to pass. The Negro, listening to these prophets and dreamers of dreams, went after strange gods, and he is, to-day, suffering for his sin of political idolatry. There were those who said, "The only salvation for the Negro in this country is political independence; the only way, for him to secure recognition is by splitting his vote between the two great parties—Well? Some people make a fetish of a word. A large number make a fetish of the word "independence." There are men so "independent" that they wouldn't stoop to acknowledge that they were under obligations to a friend for even—say, a loan of ten dollars. Independence is beyond contradiction a fine quality, but I doubt that it is any finer quality than loyalty; at any rate, it causes a lot more trouble. This, at least, is true, there are times when the showing of loyalty is as noble as the asserting of independence is brave. No good, sufficient and far-reaching reason that would embrace the colored people of any locality or state or of the nation can be given why a Negro should vote the Democratic ticket. To vote the Democratic ticket in this state because Democracy here is not so antagonistic toward us as it is in other sections of the country, or even because it throws to us a few crumbs from the feast, when we must, at the same time, remember that the New York Democracy is a strong and undivided part of the national Democracy, and that the national Democracy stands for keeping the Negro in "his place," to so vote, is nothing less than to barter our weapons of defense for a bauble; nothing less than to sell our brethren into bondage. A Democratic vote cast in Maine is an endorsement and a strengthening of Democratic practices in Mississippi. So long as there is a Solid South which stands for Negro oppression, for Negro disfranchisement, for the elimination of the Negro from all share in the government; so long as that Solid South is the guiding influence in the Democratic party; just so long must there be a solid Negro vote opposing it; just so long the Negro cannot afford to vote the Democratic ticket in either a local, state or national election, thereby giving aid to the great common enemy. These prophets and dreamers say that other citizens are independent voters and ask "Why shouldn't the Negro be?"—Yes, but other citizens are individuals, the Negro is still a race, and is so treated; all are treated alike. Still, the Wilson-Vardaman-Hoke Smith brand of Democracy, which is the brand the country is now taking, would probably make the distinction of according a little better treatment to a Mississippi River steamboat roustabout than to a colored man of education and refinement. When the Democratic party cuts out its cardinal principle of opposition to the Negro, or even gives us by fair words the promise to do us no harm, then it will be time to consider giving that party our support. At present, the Democratic party not only gives and promises nothing to us, but it plainly lets us know that it wants nothing from us—this, better than anything I can cite, illustrates a case of adding insult to injury. Men of the race, turn to the history, the ethics, the aims, and the accomplishments of the two chief parties and compare them. Now, cancel, if you will, the debt of emancipation, cancel the debt of enfranchisement, cancel the debt due to the fact that the Republican party has been the only bulwark that has stood between us and annihilation, civil and political, charge that this bulwark has not always withstood attack, but admit that it has ever been the only bulwark, blot out, if you will, the whole account; and if you feel that the Republican party has done little for us, let me ask in the name of sanity, what are we to expect from Democracy? In the last presidential election there was a larger disaffection of colored votes from the Republican to the Democratic party than ever before; and of those who did not vote the Democratic ticket there were many-who did not vote the Republican ticket. If Democracy was ever indebted to the Negro for regaining power, it was in the last general-election. How well the debt has been paid, we all know. The prophets have arisen and the dreamers of dreams have told their visions, but, verily, they are prophets of Baal and dreamers of dreams that do not come to pass. THE APPEAL OF THE UNITED-COLORED DEMOCRACY TO THE COLORED VOTERS. The appeal of the United Colored Democracy to the colored voters of New York is gotten out in a circular done in excellent English and well printed; but its array of facts and arguments are not such as would evoke any enthusiastic response. The arguments are far from convincing, and there are misstatements and errors among the facts that lay the whole document open to a charge of, at least, unreliability. For example, one paragraph reads as follows: "The Democratic party of this State, when Grover Cleveland was Governor, David B. Hill, President of the Senate, and Titus Sheard, Speaker of the Assembly, all Demiperators, passed in the Legislature Chapter 248 of the Laws of 1884 that abolished separate schools in New York City, and made the Colored Schools open for the education of pupils without regard to race or color." The facts are as follows: Titus Sheard was in 1884, and always, a staunch Republican. Furthermore, the Legislature of 1884, which passed the Bill abolishing separate schools, was Republican. Titus Sheard was Speaker of the Assembly; Charles A. Chickering, a Republican anil afterwards elected to Congress on the Republican ticket, was Secretary of the Assembly; and Theodore Roosevelt was Chairman of the Cities Committee. In the Senate of that year, Dennis McCarthy, a Republican, was President pro tem—John W. Vrooman, a Republican, and afterwards Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor with J. Sloat Fassett, was Clerk. Among the prominent Republican members of the Senate were Albert Daggett, Commodore P. Velder and J. Sloat Fassett. The political ammunition in the Negro Regiment Bill is about exhausted, and it can't be replenished until the Regiment is one in fact, and not on paper. It seems that the disposition of State officials with regard to this matter has been as effectively adverse as a veto of, the original bill would have been. In its 12th paragraph, the appeal lightly touches upon, and quickly gets away from what is the weak spot in any sort of Colored Democracy. It says, "The election on November 3d is principally for State and local officers—" The 13th congressional on the part of the National Council Democracy that Negro votes should not be cast for the Democratic party in an election where Federal questions are involved. It is true that the coming election is principally for State and local officers; but, to say that it does not affect the Federal Government is absurd. To hold that, in throwing the great State of New York into the Democratic or Republican column, no Federal questions are involved, is to convict oneself of idioey. The 13th paragraph of the appeal goes to establish the proof that 13 is really an unlucky number. By the way, the circular contains 13 numbered paragraphs. The last one could have been left off. It says in part: "The Colored voter must remember that the Republican party has long ago forsaken its former principles of political ethics; that it no longer preaches the civil and political equality of all citizens—" First, we must give credit for the admission that the Republican party ever had any worthy "principles of political ethics," and that it ever preached the civil and political equality of all citizens. But wouldn't the U. C. D. hesitate to admonish colored voters to remember what the Democratic party has done? And not only what it has done, but what it is still doing and what, by all calculations of probabilities, it intends to do? Would the U. C. D. dare to proclaim what doctrine the Democratic party presches regarding the civil and political rights of all citizens? However, the strongest argument that can be brought against this appeal of the United Colored, Democracy to the colored voters was brought by the U. C. D. itself in one of its circulars issued during the last mayoralty campaign. In one paragraph it declared in bold, bad type: "After the traitorous, un-American, unjust, undemocratic and hypocritical conduct of President Wilson toward the Colored American, the Wilson brand of democracy on any candidate ought to damn him eternally in the eyes of the colored voter." "Amen! So be it!' How can any candidate, Governor Glynn included, get out from under that formidable piling up of uncomplimentary adjectives and escape that 'eternal dammation?' Of course the U. C. D. will not be so foolhardy as to deny that Governor Glynn is President Wilson's candidate; for Governor Glynn himself says so, and the President himself says so. Governor Glynn goes further and says that he is not Tammany's candidate. So there we are. In perusing the literature gotten out by the United Colored Democracy there is no doubt that the colored-voter will stick to the inspired, unrevised and older version; that he will heed the injunction of that "tuitorous, un-American, unjust, undemocratic, hypocritical, eternal damnation" paragraph; and that he will not vote for Glynn, President Wilson's candidate. Indeed, the U. C. D. is in a bad way for a good cause on which to stand. A vote for Clinton is a vote for the Wilson Administration and all that it stands for. A vote for Whitman is not only a vote for the best candidate before the people, but a vote for the restoration of the Republican party to power. DO YOU READ NEGRO PAPERS? In the last issue of The Age there was an interesting communication from Mr. T. L. McCoy, of Raleigh, North Carolina, regarding Negro newspapers and their readers. Mr. McCoy has been working in the journalistic field, and he states that the work is hard and the harvest far from bountiful. In his effort to secure colored subscribers and readers he has met with a great deal of discouragement. We can well believe that he is not exaggerating the gloomy side of his experiences. If appears that the chief objection to Negro papers which he encounters from some of the people he approaches is summed up in these words, "I cannot find any news in the Negro newspapers." The Negro paper is not primarily a newspaper, any more than a religious weekly is a newspaper. If a man wants news he should buy one of the great dailies with resources for gathering almost instantaneously the reports of happenings from every point on the globe. All the news that a sensible man would expect to find in a colored paper is that growing out of our church, fraternal and other organizations and out of our social life, or the record of an event that in some way touches the race. Negro weeklies make no pretense at being newspapers in the strict sense of the term. They have a more important mission than the dissemination of mere news. It is not their work to herald that there has been a wreck off the Fiji Islands or that the Russians have captured Przewyls. They are race papers. They are organs of propaganda. Their chief business is to stimulate thought among Negroes about the things that vitally concern them. Some colored people make an open boast that they never read Negro papers. It is safe to bet that, these same people never do anything toward the development and upholding of the race. It is also safe to bet that they wouldn't buy groceries from a Negro even if his stock was as good, his prices as cheap, and his store as convenient as any other man's. One more safe wager is that they are people who are getting along pretty well, and are not much bothered about show anybody else gets along; especially those of their own race. In effect, they paraphrase the famous retort of old Commodore Vanderbilt, and say, "Damn the race!" Do you read Negro papers? AIDA OVERTON WALER.

In the death of Aida Overton Walker the colored theatrical profession, which has lost so many of its brightest lights within the last four or five years, has suffered an irreparable loss. She was an actress of genuine talent and great versatility—in fact, she was beyond question the greatest woman that the Negro stage has produced in this country. She was the possessor of personality—which is the essence of success as a performer, and the possessor of charm—which is the essence of success as a woman. Her voice was not a rentarkable one, but no one who has heard her sing, with her inimitable touch, of pathos and humor. "Why Adam Sinned," can ever forget her. She was a national favorite of both white and colored theatre-goers. How well she was esteemed for herself by her own people was shown by the throngs that crowded the church and the street at her funeral: "There is a common saying to the effect that there's no one whose place can't be filled. This saying does not seem to apply to the colored theatrical profession; who is there in sight to take the place of Ernest Hogan, the place of George Walker, the place of Bob Cole, the place of Aida Walker?" J. W. J. The Democrats are striving to make great capital of the fact that President Winston does not desire to see this nation at war. As there are some ninety old million other citizens of the United States who also do not desire war, this praise amounts to giving the President credit for not being the only crazy man in the country.

W. J. With whatever may be its faults, its shortcomings, and its sins of omission, the Republican party has never done us any deliberate harm. Every colored man should vote for Whitman and Wadsworth and the entire Republican ticket. To do so he should make a cross, mark in the voting space under each eagle emblem on the ballot. The American Magistrate has taken a vote among its readers to determine who is the greatest man in the United States THEODORE ROOSEvelt was first with nearly twice as many votes as anyone else. Thomas A. Edison received far and away the greatest number of votes given a strictly private citizen. Woodrow Wilson comes next with about a third as many votes as Roosevelt. And then came, William Jennings Bryan, Henry Ford, Booker T. Washington, Senator La Follette, Luther Burbank, Andrew Carnegie, Billy Sunday, and Judge Lindsay. Only one minister was mentioned, Bishop Vincent, of chautauqua fame. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, the famous Tuskegeean, is the only colored man who appears in the published list. AND WE DAMN EUROPE. Editorial: The Beston Traveler, October 16) Of course we are a civilized people. We are so good and clean and holy that we dare damn the people of Europe for their harbarian. The German soldiers burn a Belgium city and there are no names harsh enough to apply to them. We talk about world peace and other stuff like that, forgetting that there never can be peace between nations until there is universal peace between individuals. . . . World peace will not come in our time, much as a few of us desire it. World peace will come only when all men and women become neighbors, loving one another. Even an optimist cannot bring himself to believe that such neighborliness will still witnessed during the next hundred years. As an illustration of the thinness of the veneer of civilization that covers elemental man, let us take the case of the Negro who killed and robbed a white paymaster of a Mississippi lumber company. The dispatch from Bay Springs, Miss, reads: When the Negro was captured, the sheriff promised his posse the execution would be public, and the occasion was made a gala affair. The hanging of the railroads run special excursion trains there. Crowds began gathering last night, and several thousand persons slept in the open and in vehicles of all descriptions. The main street of the town was laid out, where were displayed all kinds of ware. Many slide shows afforded amusement to the throng and barkers made the hamlet - a bedlam. This morning, after the arrival of several trains, the crew were where the hanging took place. Many women led and carried children. All this section of Mississippi made merry. After that, who dares 'speak of' the artocrites of the European warriors to-morrow our 'veneroy may' become scratched and the world will discover what we really are!

CHURCH—SOME PROBLEMS (Continued from page 1.) police in the church, and he was swept into the office by the largest vote ever given a bishop in the history of the connection. To say that he is making good is to speak in mild terms. In fact, Bishop Chappelle is becoming the one link between the bench and the great church. Much that heretofore has been held as "sacred" matter to be known by the bishops and the favored few becomes the property of the connection since Bishop Chappelle became a member of the bishops' Council. He was elected following the death of Bishops Gaines, Grant and Lampington, and the connection now just such men on the bench. Bishop Chappelle is moving things down here in Arkansas and in Oklahoma. His straightforward manner of dealing and telling men of their rights is getting for the missionaries in Oklahoma more help from the missionary department than they have ever been getting. The work down there is growing and will (if kept going as it has since Bishop Chappelle came here) soon become self-supporting. Meeting the Forces in Arkansas. There has been rivalry in Arkansas for years between the Conner and the anti-Conner forces. When Bishop Chappelle came to the State the Conner people had mapped out a plan of elimination for the anti-Conner men, but the fair-mindedness of Bishop Chappelle put a stop to it, and he commenced the work of bringing together the men of the Stag. Now we have a united Arkansas, But, to tell the truth, the Bishop has had to charge some high, forts and shoot some long guns. Our educational work is getting in first-class shape. Shorter College, the State school, is growing in importance. Bishop Chappelle himself being a school man, has opened the way by which the college will become a college indeed. There are five connectional aspirants down here in Arkansas and Oklahoma. These two States make up the twelfth episcopal district. For years we have beenighting for connectional recognition. Dr. J. M. Conner and Dr. J. I. Lowe succeeded at Kansas City; now there are five of us who are going to try our hands at the next general conference, viz., Dr. A. H. Hill of Little Rock, for Bishop; Dr. H. G. Montgomery of Hot Springs, for Bishop of West Africa; Dr. J. W. Whitesides of Pine Bluff for secretary of the Church Extension department; Dr. J. G. Robinson of Pine Bluff, for editor of The Southern Christian Recorder, and Dr. Chas. R. Tucker of Oklahoma City for Bishop. Many Candidates for. Bishop. But that is nothing. There are more than fifty men in different parts of the church who will have their names presented to the general conference for the office of bishop. And nearly every one of them can give many "reasons" why the church should elect more bishops. I am going to give the readers of Titre Act the names of the candidates by States. Talk about not electing any more bishops. Joshua. The queen that I am going to name would turn three worlds upside down before they would let the Centennial General Conference pass into history without putting some of them on the bench. Here are the episcopal candidates by States: Arkansas—The Rev. A. H. Hill and the Rev. H. G. Montgomery. Alabama—The Rev. G. W. Allen, the Rev. W. H. Mixon, the Rev. J. W. Walker, the Rev. R. D.

I now it will interest the lay members of this list of men who are clamor- rous become bishops in the A. M. E. Chin. And, mark you. I have missed some ones. I did not do so intention- ally, but I cannot hold all of them in mind. They figure that Bishop Tur- nell is retired and that Bishop Smith is his own volition retire. They include that several States will be into separate episcopal dis- cension the purpose of getting more episcopal supervision, and, they can hear some of them say- "Bishop So-and-So" will die, the plan is manned out where- by more and more at least four new bishops chaired at Philadelphia. To Represent The Age in Oklahoma and Arkansas. Mes. J. G. Robinson will solicit subscriptions for The New York Age at the sessions of the annual conferences in Oklahoma and Arkansas. You will do well to take the paper. There will be many questions affecting the connection discussed editorially and otherwise through the columns of this paper. 1 The following are some of the leading ministers in Oklahoma, and as such should be interested in those journals that are working for the betterment of the race: The Revs. T.

"GUS" SHAW KILLED IN HOME BY SON-IN-LAW tion with a large proportion of the white citizens, attended the funeral, or lined the streets through which the funeral cortege passed. All the lodges in the city comprising the Masons, Pythian and Courts of Calanthe, were in the procession which was the longest ever seen in Brunswick. During the service Freddie N. Wright said "Face to Face" and resolutions prepared by the Brunswick Educational and Protective League were read. The resolutions in part are as follows: "We know that in the death of Charles Augustus Shaw the bereaved family suffers a misfortune that is particularly-crushling because of its peculiar untimeliness, in addition to the loss of the tender devotion which this Christian showered upon his loved ones. We realize that the departure from our midst of this model citizen is an affliction to our community because we have lost thereby the exceptional, daily example he set us as a public, spirited man, benefactor to the needy and worthy exponent of human uplift. "Resolved. That our profound sympathy be extended to the bereaved family, that the citizens of Brunswick respond readily to any lawful call for the furtherance of justice in behalf of the deceased, or, for contributions toward some worthy memorial in his honor. That the regular assembly of the Brunswick Educational and Proactive League on November 4 be a memorial meeting in honor of its late founder and president." ISAAC FISHER AND THE AGLEBEAUTY CONTEST (Continued from page 1.) he near Caucasian or is there beauty, per se, in the Negroid face? Must we judge her by the Caucasian's standard of beauty or by the Negro's standard? Some Answers. There is before the editor a colored plate exhibiting the various races of the world. The best and most retired specimens of each race, except one, as they have been touched by civilization, are shown on the plate. The one exception is the black man and black woman. ('I am not complaining—simplly looking the facts in the face). In all the unloveliness of savage undress, savage manners, savage repulsion, the colored woman on the plate before me is thrown against a background of faces bright with civilization's refining power, and besides adorned according to the newest lights; and now my mind runs back across the years to the books, the newspapers, the magazines I have read and I can remember but few times when I have seen any pictures such as The Age is 'publishing, in any of the great sentiment-making white periodicals; but hair, the lips, the feet of "the darlings of our heart" have been pitilessly culed, jeered and exaggerated until—'Who can blame colored women, colored girls, if they have tried to escape from the Negroid type? The Work to Be Done. This, sensitivityiness to ridicule, this desire to possess the qualities which America calls beautiful, has left a trail of slime among many parts of the inner life of our race. We are blaming no one—certainly not our women—they have done well. They have done well! Well! The women of no other race on the continent have had to fight so hard as they, with so little encouragement. They have done well! But we are going to turn around and go the other way. The work before us is to select some delinic race type or types—types that retain the features of the race in softened, chastened, refined outlings in our newspapers in our newspapers, on our calendars, put on our Christmas cards, hang on the walls of our daughters' rooms, place in the students' rooms in colleges, hang on the walls of our churches until a little colored girl, just becoming conscious of her youthful beauty, will go and stand before a picture of a beautiful girl type of her own race and decide to try to be like her. Work for a Negro Artist. A letter from a colored student in a great Eastern, art school advises that the Negro face is not studied in her school. Repeatedly I have asked colored students of art to paint me a colored woman's face for The Negro Farmer, only to find that they cannot sketch such a face. Here is work for a colored Remington, Gibson or Fisher. We need that some colored artist shall do for the faces and forms of colored girls and women what threes, three white men have done for the faces of white women and girls. Some artist of vision should take the chosen "Eiflumen" selected by "Tir and perhaps other types or more and from them make a composite type or from them, which our women may copy. Our Duty to Posterity. We owe this to the moral well-being of our race; and we owe it to posterity. This is our work. It is not the Caucasian's work. It is not the Red Man's work-. It is not the work of the Mongolians. If we wish to tell posterity that we were not repulsive in appearance, our sculptors must chisel our features at their best into marble, stone and brass; our painters must write those better and more refined features on stone and brass; our sculptors must preserve them in story and song. So shall our womanhood become idealized and, in consequence, ideal. So shall our girls and women of all ages become proud of themselves. To My Brother Editors. The "drivers of the quill" and pens, those who are writing the newspapers and magazines, for our race, can help idealize the best beauty types of the race by often publishing pictures of deserving women of the race, and by always using such words as "charming" or "beautiful," or "dashing," or "hand-some," or "comely" in describing our girls and women. Such words have helped to make charging, proud, queenly Caucasian women. They will help do the same for the colored women. It is our work for the future. We may do it or we may let it alone. But if we longer delay the doing of it, our race will be the poorer, bye-and-bye, which God forbid! ISAAC FISHER. PHILADELPHIA PA PHILADETHA, Pa.—The Rev. A. R.

THE curtain has been run down for the last time on a bright star of the theatrical firmament—Aida Overton Walker—the most conspicuous and the most popular colored woman on the stage; but the dropping of the curtain on the active stage career of Aida Overton Walker does not mean that her wonderful personality has been buried or that the stage will look upon her merely as a faded memory of the past. Those who do things in this life may die, but their works live, and the many friends of Aida Overton Walker, who are mourning her death should find some grains of mental comfort in the thought that although she has passed away her influence will be felt in the world of make-believe for years to come. In this era of the world's history when sordid commercialism holds undisputed sway, when nations murder The Late AIDA OVERTON. WALKER and pillage for material gain and the chief aim of man is to gather in the dollar, it is not surprising to observe that the public attaches greatest interest to what a deceased leaves behind in the form of wealth. That gold is most insignificant as compared to other heritages is an argument seldom advanced. Those who amass fortunes learn sooner or later that wealth does not keep one's memory green after leaving this earth, but that those long, remembered are persons who render service to mankind, who strive to make this world brighter and better, who work industriously to uplift and elevate humanity. In the case of Aida Overton Walker, had she not left a penny it could be rightly said that she was a success in life, for she created stage presentations that were original, artistic and acceptable—presentations that won her name and undying fame. Aida Overton Walker was responsible for a stage type that proved highly creditable to her race and to the theatrical profession in general: Always a fearless exponent of clean, refined, artistic entertainment, we have already had many pleasing evidences of her activities in this direction. You could always tell "one of Aida Walker's girls," for the touch of life "master hand" always stood out in bold relief. And although Aida Overton Walker has gone, the "Aida Overton Walker girl" with her refined ways, pretty costumes and original topsichorean specialties will remain with us to entertain and elevate. The flame of ambition must have burned fiercely in the heart of Aida Overton Walker at an early age, for in 1896 at the age of sixteen she had begun, to attract attention as a soubret in the Black Patti Company. In 1898 she became a member of the famous Williams and Walker Company, and it was with this well-known organization that she won her greatest stage laurels. Of all the songs sung by Aida Overton Walker while associated with the Williams and Walker Company, none gave her a better opportunity to demonstrate her powers as an entertainer than "Hannah from Savannah," which was regarded by many as the song hit of "Sons of Ilam." This number was instrumental in making her one of the important figures in the Williams and Walker Company. A few years later when the cakewalk craze became as contagious as the modern dance, craze is today. Aida Overton, Walker was a guest at a farewell dinner given to Mrs. Arthur Paget by Robert Hargous at Delmonico's. The affair was an exclusive one and was attended by such well-known members of the Four-Hundred as Mrs. George B. De Forest, Mrs. Frederic Nielson, Mrs. Oliver H, P. Belmont, Mrs. Georgeq Law, Mr. and Mrs. Jules, S. Bache, Elisha Dyer, Harry Lehr, and Baron Knaft-Herr. Aida Overton Walker is said to have cakewalked with the male members of the dimer party, and the newspapers published lengthy accounts of the incident. In an ingerview published in the New York Herald, in which she dignified the cakewalk and praised the colored American of years ago who was its originator, Aida Overton Walker expressed the following views: "Think of moonlight nights and pine knots and tallow dips and of lines untouched by the hardness of toil, for I tell you, there was sunshine in the hearts of those who first danced the cakewalk. "The cakewalk is hardly an art which any one may attain. Success in cakewalking is largely a matter of temperament. As far as the actual execution of steps is concerned many persons may surpass their instructors in time. If, however, they do not remember to show by the expression of their faces that they are interested and happy I do not believe that any amount of fancy steps will make up for such a defect. "The cakewalk is characteristic of a race and in order to understand it and appreciate it and to become an adept in it, it is necessary to keep your mind upon the judges, your partner, and especially upon what the cakewalk really is—a gala dance." When the Williams-and Walker Company was playing in England in "In Dahomey" Aida Overton Walker was cagely sought after by titled persons to teach them the cakewalk. Lady Constance Mackenzie of Dunrolin Castle was one of her pupils, and up to her death Mrs. Walker cherished the following letter inviting her to give Lady Constance dancing lessons. The letter: Dunrolin Castle, Sutherland. Lady Constance Mackenzie will be very much obliged if Mrs. Walker will give her a dancing lesson on Monday at five o'clock in the evening. She is sorry she was unable to have them before. Please let Lady Constance krow if Mrs. Walker cannot come, otherwise she will expect her at Stafford House, St. James, at 5 on Monday next, the 5th. Numerous other incidents could be cited showing how Aida Overton Walker dignified the cakewalk and other dances originated and introduced by the Negro-racial dances which she developed and presented along such artistic lines that even royalty and the Smart Set were eager to learn how to become adept in them—if space but permitted. Aida Overton Walker was an artist, and the addition of numerous adjectives and complimentary phrases in profusion would be a mere waste of energy and space. She was a born actress, ambitious, energetic and always ready to fight for those essentials which meant the elevation of the colored performer and indirectly the elevation of the colored American off the stage. "Hannah from Savannah," "Josephine My Joe," "Why-Adam Sinned," "Leading Lady," "Sweetie Dear" and "It's Hard to Love. Somebody" are songs of yesteryear that have already become musty, frayed and worn by the touch of Father Time, but it will be many, many years' before Aida. Oyerton Walker will be forgotten; for, although she has bade the footlights goodbye forever, her ideas, ideals and methods still live to serve as an inspiration and to carry on the meritorious work which she so earnestly and ardently begin. (Dedicated to the Memory of Aida Overton Walker.) Dead!—Say some mistake is there; Een cruel, cruel Death! Would not pluck a flower so rare. Dead!—O ye supreme! Death, inseparable, Has claimed our loveliest queen. Stand we with hated breath, Gaming impotently. To try to squirrel our, Death, Sinks by unnoticing; From our garden fair, Flower of all. Nor marks our deep despair; Nor hears our freezed call; O Death: Without thy death! Space the space one onel. Death heeds not our command; Look not! The bloom is gone. Gone in the dawning light— the dawning night— Come in the stillly night— Even then Death comes too soon. Death!—At what the cannon be! The sleep that we call Death. The yelf from eternity. Death!—Not God in his great Love Has garnered its precious flower To transplant in reals above. SALEM TUTT WHITNEY. Philadelphia, Pa. IN MEMORIAM. OF AIDA OVERTON WALKER. Words cannot articulate the profound sorrow that I feel in the loss of Aida Overton Walker, for she was not only an artist of the past but a person of personal experience that her heart and soul were concentrated to the welfare of her own race. In her untimely demise she leaves a vatancy in the genius of the race, which will be filled. May her soul ever rest in peace. SONNIE SOMERS, 296 Citilton Avenue, Brooklyn.

Thomas, McDonald and Thomas are presenting an act with some unusual features, but there are some rough edges that need to be smoothed. The female member of the trio possesses a voice remarkable for its depth of tone, but deficient in quality. She sings the old song, adopted by all bassos, "Asleep in the Deep," and the unusual character of her voice wins hearty applause from the audience. A few lessons in tone-placement would help the young lady, provided it did not change her voice. The straight man is a novelty pianist, and did some work which took well. He played what he called an original conception of the "Mocking Bird," and exhibited rather remarkable facility with his left hand. The comedian was liked." Other numbers on the bill were the Harris Twins & Co., the twins being a boy and girl who did a refined bit of acrobatic work; the Three Melody Maids and the Six English Pony Ballet. For the last half of last week Simms & Thompson, Fred Rogers, the ventilouquist, and Archer's Chocolate Drops were held over.

Madden and the St. Christopher Tangle There has been so much said for and against the upheaval in the St. Christopher organization, that I wish to explain in a few words the real situation. St. Philips Church or the "club" connected with that organization, has given the wrong impression of the whole affair and we wish to offset that impression by stating that we are not the St. Christopher Club of St. Philip's Parish and have not posed as such and do not intend to, as we have absolutely no desire to deceive the public or represent ourselves other than what we are. Our organization is distinctly known as the St. Christopher Club or New York, incorporated, and is an athletic and social organization that we intend to build up until it becomes one of the best known men's clubs in existence. We can be more active now, and branch out unto whatever field we desire. Activity and advancement will be our watchword and we shall work unitingly in every field of our endeavor. This club is an incorporated body and will work within its rights for its best interests. Again we wish to say that we want the public to thoroughly understand that we have no athletic connections with the St. Christopher Club of St. Phillip's Parish as we have severed those relations and are now an independent body, incorporated under the State laws. - We might mention that there are at least six different organizations with the same St. Christopher, yet each name is a little different from the other. We are the only incorporated body and the public will always recognize us as such. WILL ANTHONY MADDEN, St. Christopher Club of New York, Inp. Morehouse Wins from Morris Brown. A Philadelphia OL, the first game of the championship series. Morehouse met the Morris Brown team and defeated her by the score of 13 to 6. The game was rather slow and uninteresting. Morehouse used several scrubs, showing flashes of old time form, while the Morris Brown eleven showed their skills. The touchdown made by Morris Brown on a recorded fumbled ball in the fourth quarter, marks the first score over-registered against the "Old Maroon" by the Morris Brown boys. - Morehouse's real test will come on the day of the game.

White Hope Knocked Out Sam Langford, the Negro heavyweight boxer of Boston, knocked out Gunboat Smith of New York in three rounds Tuesday night in Boston. It was the first time that Smith, who has been one of the leading "white hopes" of this country and who had gained a decision over Langford here a year ago, had been knocked out. The Negro showed his superiority throughout. His 200 pounds was behind three solid punches before the first round was half finished. **Stallings Objected to - Braves Playing Negro Team.** At Lenox Oval last Sunday the Lincoln Stars were carded to play the second game with Hank Gowdy's All-Stars, which included five of the world's champion Boston Braves, but Stallings, manager of the Braves and a Southerner, born in Augusta, Ga. objected.

Holden, said the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God. While the character and the things done in them are historical events, much of the whole is symbolical. In the Old Testament, progressive rebellion assures itself in the birth, death and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus the Christ. In the New Testament, expression revelation assures working believers that they are in holy fellowship with their Lord, the Immunel and that they are teeding toward possessing all things prepared for them, before the foundation of the world. The Bible are written in the language of the labor in the fire of competition, out of whichrows vanity, strife and war. "They weary themselves they wrest their ships of state, they struggle and slaughter one another. Time shows their hopes belated, their bodies on the battlefield of human life a prey for the enemy. They lose their dry bones bleaching and returning to dust. Men by writing and song have celebrated and magnified the combattive doings of man until the majority In. earth worship only man. But we declare unto you that Our Lord overturn and overturn the kingdom of man, recognizes and yields to the kingdom of rule of God. "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." When this consciousness 'o the glory of the world, the kingdom of man, recognizes and yields to the kingdom of rule of God. "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." When this consciousness 'o the glory of the world, the kingdom of man, recognizes and yields to the kingdom of rule of God. "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." When this consciousness 'o the glory of the world, the kingdom of man, recognizes and yields to the kingdom of rule of God. "We will not kill to 'eat, we will not eat to live, and we will not live to eat we will live and let live, we will eat and live and we will live and not die." The warm, red, passion giving blood will have changed to clear crystal; pure, thirst quenching cleansing and invigorating harmless water. Though our mortal bodies are now continuously undergoing a process of maturation, our spiritual spirit grows stronger and more conscious of the power and presence of God in us. We also perceive a growing capacity for doing greater, larger and more enduring things. This imperishable organism gives us nature to the Holy, Heavenly Life. God heave the Immanuel words should be heeded: I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."

The fifteen hundred people who were present at the annual reunion of members and friends of the *Abyssinian Baptist Church*, the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor, held at Manhattan Casino, Thursday evening. October 15, were treated to a unique and enjoyable entertainment. The affair was far beyond the stoic and staid entertainment frequently offered by churches. The program rivaled some of the concerts given by regular theatrical companies. In speaking of the panomime, of the fashions, the Rev. Mr. Powell said: "We are trying to be a little modern and give to our young people under restrictions, or rather supervision, the things young people wish to hear and see." The second part of the program called "The Pantomime of the Fashions," certainly a working out of this idea, which evoked laughter from start to finish. Twenty Indians dressed in Indian garb with braves, squaws and nappes in line opened the pantomime. These were followed by four, women five, men five, women five with hoop skirts, eight with hustles, five Southern mammies," four holuble skirts, five in harem togs, and twelve in 1914 models. Mrs. Mattie Henson, Mrs. Gladys Cummings, Miss Ruhv Buster, and Miss Blanche Powell, assisted by Albert DeAncy, were the harem characters. They were conceded to be the hit of the evening. This team tripped on the stage to the tune of "In My Harem," which Miss Powell sang as an encore. Mrs Gladys' Cummings responded with Jeubie Bridle's "Rock Me in the Grad" Hill's "Village an Institution of the Alice Ramsey interpretation with all her gestures and dance steps included. The applause received was evidence of the audience's appreciation. Miss Powell was presented with a beautiful bunch of flowers. The Southern mammies were realistic but the offering was spoiled by making fun of the natural expressions of the Negro. During this number Mrs Martha Pickenpack sang "Swanee River," and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," assisted by the chorus. The overdone, imitation of the shouting and expressions of joy and happiness in the old Southern church and camp meeting was not needed to make the affair a success. "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and the other old time spiritual songs comprise the only original American music, and because they are sacred should be reverenced. Any other treatment or attitude toward them should be condemned. However, the pantomime as a whole was beautiful, interesting and instructive, with the exception of the exaggerations of the Southern mammies. The other half of the program was a spicy, and tuneful dramatic canta- tened, "Trial by Jury," by Gilbert and Sullivan. The scene, is laid in Scar- boro, England, court of exchequer. Angelina brings Edwu to court as defend- ant in a breach of promise suit. The outcome is very unexpected, because during the trial the plaintiff wins the affection of the judge, who marries bor in the closing scene. The chorus was well drilled and the women's voices were heard to good ad- vantage. The chorus by the brides- maids was exceptionally pretty. A duct of the audience De Ancey, and the plaintiff Mrs. Pullmann, was appreciated, while the plaintiff's plea to the defa- endant was pathetic in naturalness. The mother, Mrs. Amee Taylor, furnished the fun in her comical enmacing at- titude toward the plaintiff. The ladies' orchestra of the Martin Smith Music School, led by Mrs. M. Gassaway Franklin, rendered good service in sustaining the chorus as and ac- companying the solist. The cast of characters were: Mrs. Elizabeth Pallium, soprano, plaintiff H. E. Hermandez, tenor, defendant; Amot Gieurrant, baritone, jitige; Edgar T. Hall, bass, foreman; Albert C. De Aney, tenor, counselor; Joseph H. Carter, baritone, usher! Mrs. Amee Tavlor, contralto, mother; the Misses Stannard, Stubbs, Bagley, Smith, Mesdames Stith, Walker and Forsyth, bridesmaids. H. L. Smith, W. J. Walker, A. C. Holmes, J. L. Brown, K. Lewis, F. S. Burton, A. Smith, J. W. Wiley and W. A. Broussard, jurors. Mr. De Aney, conductor, and Miss Cora W. Carle, pianist. At the close of the program all joined in the grand reunion march, after which the great throne enjoyed a chicken supper in charge of Mrs. Lucy Carter, Three prizes were awarded to the three persons selling the largest number of tickets. First prize, $10 in gold, was awarded to Mrs. A. Clayton Powell, who sold $83 worth of tickets; second prize, $5 in gold, to Miss Mary Pennington, who sold $46 worth, and $2.50 in gold to Mrs. Martha, Picken-pack who sold $28 worth. Mrs. J. C. Hicks of Kansas City, and Mrs. M. C. Lawton were the speakers at the public meeting of the Association held at St. Paul's Baptist Church, Jacob D. King sang two solos. Mrs. Ella J. Daws of the committee of management and a loyal supporter of the Y. W. C. A. has gone to California. Mrs. Sadie Battles is working hard to make the annual buzzer of the Y. W. C.

Among those received into membership this month were Miss Saran Williams of Orangeburg, S. C. Mrs. Adalade Cobb and Mrs. L. Reed of New York City. The Association is offering evening classes in dressmaking, sewing, English grammar, Bible and recreational work, with the exception of the dressmaking, these classes are all free to members. The Harlem Branch of the Y. W. C. A. is offering a special evening course of 12 lessons in cooking to members of the Colored Women's Branch of the Association. "Those wishing to take the course are urged to register at once as they will be formed." Mrs. Gertrude Bostill Mossell of Philadelphia, Pa. spent several days at the Y. W. C. A. The Association has secured the services of Miss Lottie Jarvis to act as assistant secretary to Mrs. Cabaniss.
