The New York Age OHIO READY FOR SUPREME LODGE Columbus Knights of Pythias Deny Charges of Lack of Preparation 35,000 ENTERTAINED City, Nine Years Ago, Cared For National Organizations of Odd Fellows and Baptists and Facilities Are Greatly Increased. AGE EDITORIAL ANSWERED Supreme Chancellor Green Wires that Ample Provision Has Been Made by Ohioans, and President Barcus or Entertainment Committee Answers in Detail All Charges. In the issue of THE AGE dated July 1 an editorial appeared in which it was stated that private information had been received to the effect that the members of the Order of Knights of Pythias who expected to attend the forthcoming session of the Supreme Lodge to be held at Columbus O. August next, would not be comfortably provided for, because the colored citizens generally at Ohio capitol are not enthusiastic about entertaining the meeting. It was further stated that press agents' roseate reports did not tally with information received by many K. of P.s and friends throughout the country. The information on which this editorial was based came from a correspondent who had always proven reliable, and so The Age had a reason to think he would make a misstatement of facts. Consequently THE Age felt no hesitancy in accepting the information at its face value. THE Age, however, is in receipt of a telegram from the Holl S. W. Green of New Orleans, La. supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, in which he declares that in company with Gen. R. R. Jackman, Gen. of the Jones supreme branch, and Gen. of the Jones supreme vice-chancellor, he visited Columbus in February last and investigated conditions concerning preparations for the entertainment of representatives and visitors to the Supreme Lodge session, which investigation satisfied him that the citizens were fully prepared to entertain the lodge and that ample provision would be made for all in attendance. The telegram is as follows: Telegram From Supreme Chancellor Green. A24260 ASD 75 NL NL 2 EXA. New Orleans, La. July 5, 1915. Editor New York Age, 24 West 46th street, New York. Editorial in issue of 1st instant, concerning Supreme Lodge not based on facts. Sirs Jackson, Jones and I visited Columbus February last, investigated conditions and found citizens fully prepared and amused to enter, and admitted to the next session of Supreme Lodge. Inspection satisfied our committee that ample provision was made to provide in proper manner for all who may come to session next August. Please publish this in your next issue. Letter From Entertainment Committee In addition to this telegram, a letter has been received from R. B. Barcus, president of the executive committee of the Supreme Lodge Entertainment Committee, Incorporated, Columbus, O., in which detailed denial is made of the charge of unpreparedness and definite statements are made to show that the Supreme Lodge will be amply provided for. The letter from Mr. Barcus is informing and as follows: Office of the Supreme Lodge Entertainment Committee, Incorporated Executive Committee—R. B. Backus, president Room 503 Nicholson Block, W. H. Woods, vice-president, 1219 Wager street, W. A. Method, treasurer, 601 Livingston avenue, J. W. Hurris, 601 Washington avenue, W. H. Gregson, corresponding secretary, 201 St. Clair avenue. N65 Mt. Vernon Avenue, Columbus, Ohio, July 3, 1915. Honorable Fred R. Boone, Editor. The New York Age, New York City. Image Sir — The New York Age, in the notice of Thursday, July 1, contained an editorial under the caption of K of P. Supreme Lodge, in which it makes six or more claims on the grounds of the Supreme Lodge Entertainment Committee the local subordinate lodges of the Knights of Pythias, the L. Lodge of the Courts of Calanthe, the colored citizens of the city of Columbus and the Grand Lodge of the Nile of Pythias of the jurisdiction the specific areas are as follows. That the colored citizens, generally, are not enthusiastic about entertaining the meeting. (2) That the subordinate bodes do not join in asking for the meeting and by way of uninquired charge the local office to be co-operating with the committee in arranging for the con- (1) That The Age understands (2) that the public hotels are closed to visitors. (3) That the colored citizens are showing no disposition to open their homes to the visiting Knights and friends. (5) Then you proceed to make further charges in the form of questions which are as follows: (a) Where are the 25,000 or more charges? (a) Where are the 25,000 or 30,000 Knights to shoal? (b) Are they to be bedded upon the grass of commons and to be fed from baskets on street corners? (c) Does the committee in charge of the entertainment realize the "bligness" of the affair? Unfounded Charges Based on Private Information. The Age bases the charges herein above complained of by the Executive Committee, upon what it calls private information and this private information is such. The Age reports, as was received by many K. of P's and friends of the Agency, the Age States that Press Agency reports from Columbus indicate that the local committee, using the language of The Age, that arrangements are being made for the entertainment of the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythias are rostrate. The Age further states that these Press Agency Reports do not comply with information received by many K. of P's and friends throughout the country but as they stated before, that these reports were based upon private information. It is evident from these statements contained in this editorial that The Age did not have any direct information from any member of the Executive Committee in charge of the Age's conditions pertaining to the entertainment of the Supreme Session in this city. It seems to us that private information, given out by persons abbreviated members of the Executive Committee, nor members of the Committee on Hotels and Homes, should be on the surface of a matter so vital to the delegates and members of the order who anticipate visiting this city from all parts of the country, when there is a duty appointed, constituted and acting committee having control and supervision of homes and hotel reservations and to other matters affecting the Supervision Session and Encompassment. The Executive Committee says, together with the Committee on Homes and Hotels, which is directing such a committee for securing proper and adequate accommodations, that it has records at headquarters which will show that accommodations for more than 15,000 people were reported more than a week ago and it is estimated that when the committee is to be filled to July 10, that more than sufficient homes will be listed for that purpose. Columbus Has Cared for 35,000 People The colored people of this city, more than nine years ago, were able to accommodate adequately the B. M. C. (a national organization) of the Grand United Order of Our Fellows or the Church of Jesus Christ of Jesus, some 25,000 or 30,000 visitors although there were rumors then that the colored people would not be able to take care of such a large convention. The colored citizens of this city, a little more than 20,000, accommodated the National Baptist Convention which is the largest Negro organization in the world and which is meant to this city between 20,000 and 30,000 delegates and visitors, and it was rumored at that time that the colored people would provide adequately enough for such a large gathering of people. The colored people of Columbus will accommodate adequately and comfortably the Knights of Pythias and the members of the Courts of Calanthe and visitors, who will attend this conference and visit parts of Calanthe and the Columbus Chamber of Commerce have contributed money to help make the Supreme Session and Encompass a success. The colored people in general are co-operating with the local committee in the furtherance of the plan of the Court of Calanthe. The Citizens Committee, consisting of twenty-five prominent members of different fraternal orders of the city, and who are not members of the Knights of Pythias order, have accepted positions as members of the Citizen's Committee and will and are co-operating directly with the Executive Committee in order to make this the greatest success in the history of the order. Buildings to be Used as Hotels. When the E. M. C. and the Negro National Baptist Convention convened in this city several years ago, as has just been referred to, the colored people of this city were not half as well prepared to accommodate and entertain, in the way of homes, thirty thousand and said that it is remarkable how, in the past few years the colored people of this city have acquired real estate and that they are occupying blocks and squares in large numbers and in locations herefore not known to own property and therefore are prepared to accommodate more than they were able to afford, and more satisfactorily, the guests, so will be in attendance during the session. The Executive Committee, however, in its zealousness and anxiety to be doubly assured that it will have sufficient homes, is already arranging to furnish two or three beddings for hotel purposes, if it is necessary, which heretofore been used for the purpose of business depression, have been suspended. Mrs Mary Lee, who is in charge of the Cafeteria Department of the Spring street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, has been granted permission by the committee management of the Spring Association of the Young Men's Auditorium living room purposes during that week and it is said that more than 180 persons can be taken care of at one time under this new management. Prof J. H Jackson, the Executive Secretary of the Spring Street Association of the Young Men's Association, reported that he will be able to take a couple of fifty or seventy-five in regard to room accommodations when the session convenes. Answering The Age's Questions. Two large restaurants will be operated under large tents which will be erected on the camp ground, together with six smaller tents, where short orders will be served. It is estimated that about 800 people can be accommodated for with meals every hour. I now come to the questions propounded by The Age: ```markdown ``` FULL TEXT OF SUPREME COURT DECISION The full text of the decisions handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Oklahoma and Maryland election cases have been printed in pamphlet form by The New York Age, and will be sent to any address on receipt of 10 cents. Address (a) Does the committee realize the business of the affair? The committee answers that question by saying that because entertaining the Supreme Session was a big proposition, prompted it nearly three months ago to divide and subdivide the city into districts and assign two committees to work in each of the districts and subdivisions thereof, to list homes for this convention. The result of this plan has worked admirably well and has resulted in securing homes for more than 15,000 at the last tabulation. (b) Is Columbus big enough to entertain this order? This question the committee answers by saying that Columbus is known throughout the Middle West as a great convention city and as such has gathered thousands of gatherings that ever convened in anity. What is true of taking care of conventions by the city in regard to white people is also true in regard to colored people as has already been stated in reference to the B.M.C. of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows Baptist Convention, each of which brought to this city some 25,000 or 30,000 people. Charge number three (3) namely to wit That The Age understands that the guilt. Hotels are closed to the visitors may be correct as far as the thefts are concerned, but as the thefts which solicit white patrons are closed to the visitors only like they were closed to them in Indianapolis, Ind. in 1911, but the colored people of Columbus will accommodate them notwithstanding this, like the people of Indianapolis did. The same concern will be expressed in certain hotels catering to white people only, as they have obtained in every city which has entertained the Supreme Lodge for more than a decade. The Ago Should Have Written Headquarters. The statement of The Age that it would be false to its readers if it urged attendance to a meeting in any city where proper and positive assurance had been made to the age-makers when the Age had made no effort to communicate with the Executive Committee of the Committee on Hotels and Homes to assert from either of said committees whether anything had been done to accommodate comfortably such a vast number who expect to attend this convention. When the Press Agents and the private informants' statements conflated naturally, the Age had a right to entertain a doubt about the matter. The Age should in all fairness and justice to the local committee, to the citizens of the city, of Counties the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythagoras of the Order of the Holy Apostle should have written to the headquarters of the local committee to assert the true condition of affairs for some reason however. The Age adopted another course which has done a great injury and injustice to the local committee of the parish which has been instituted. The Age, in all justice to itself and the statement contained in the editorial herein complained of, and it should give the retraction the same prominence which contained these false charges. It is the right of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of the State of Ohio to invite the Supreme Lodge to this grand jurisdiction and it kreeks that the institution to the Supreme Lodge that the citizens of the city of Columbus would large hearted enough and broad and hospital enough to fulfill that function and in that the Grand Lodge is of staken authority submitted.

THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1915. BISHOP CLINTON HAD TO GIVE UP PULLMAN BERTH The High Church Official was Forced to Leave Sleeper by White Men From Day Coach EDITOR CLEMENTS WITH HIM The Distinguished Zionites were Enroute to Attend Joint Meeting of Methodists at Cincinnati—Outrageous Indignity in Presence of Non-interfering Railway Employees. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. ASHBILL, N. C., July 6—Bishop George W. Clinton of the A. M. E. Zion Church, and the Rev. George C. Clements, editor of the Star of Zion, Charlotte, N. C., were paired as a train sleeper by late next Monday night, June 28, and made occupy seats in a "Jim Crow" coop. It appears that someone, presumably an employee of the Southern Railroad on which they were passengers, tapped the whites feeling the day coach that two coloured men were occupying a sleeper. They made their way to the sleeper and told the two divers to take a thing that a sleeper was "no place for niggers." The two men demurred at the end that they were roughly ordered to vacate. None of the train employees interfered, and they had to occupy the Jim Crow coach, during the night. The divers were on their way to Cincinnati to attend the meeting of the representatives of Metropolitan bodies. After they had gotten seated in the Jim Crow cistern the Pullman cohort came back and offered to redeem their tickets. They, refused, however, and will most likely, bring out against the road. THOUGHT DEAD WHITE WOMAN WAS COLORED SECTION 10 OF THE TITLE Jo McNair, a white woman, wife of a prominent Philadelphia physician living at 415 Walnut Avenue, appeared from her home on June 24 and was found dead on July 2 in a lodging house conducted by Jimmie in a colored man at 12 Vernet Avenue. She had been dead since Wednesday morning June 30. It is reported that the woman had been in the house at 10:45 a.m. to induce her appa- sition to show him stimulants. She came to the lodging house on Sunday at 10:45 a.m. in a room in the property she was colored. When she died on Wednesday morning the police officer on the beat, a colored man, was notified and he called in County Physician Sunder. These men said she was a colored woman and a colored undertaker was called in. On Thursday to undertaker applied to the only authorities for directions as to the disposal of the body, giving the com- municipal name as she had given it when entering the room.

The commissions of each church had a meeting of their own on Tuesday, June 29, at which they prepared in writing their declaration of pleadings for the joint session. The joint session was called to order at 10 a.m. by Bishop Theodore S. Henderson of Chattanooga, Teinn. He was succeeded in the presidency by Bishops A. Walters of the Zion Commission, B. F. Lee of the Bethel and A. H. Phillips of the Colored Methodist Church. There were four secretaries for the Joint Session representing the four participating Methodist bodies—Dr. Robert J. Jones for the Methodist Episcopal Church Prof. Hawkins for the African Methodist, Prof. Martin for the Zion connection and Prof. Bray for the Colored Methodist Church. The Joint Session began the deliberations by hearing the report of the committee of three, Drs. R. E. Jones, J. P. Wragg and I. Gartland Penn, representing the Methodist Episcopal Commission. The report was made through its secretary I. Gartland Penn, after which a Committee on Plan of Procedure was appointed, consisting of three commissioners from each commission. The plan of procedure reported through John R. Hawkins put the body to work in earnest. There were three sessions during the day. At the closing session the Declaration of Agreement, representing the unanimous action of the participating bodies, was presented in sections by Administration and secretaries of committees On Operation—Bishop Theodore S. Sanderson, chairman; the Rev. J. S. Jackson, secretary. On Federation—Bishop W. P. Thir- field, chairman; the Rev. J. A. Bray, secretary. On Organic Union—Bishop George W. Linton, chairman; I. Garland Penn, sec- retary. The Declaration of Agreement. The following pleadings to Methodists in general and Negro Methodists in particular represent the basis of co-operation, federation and unity which it is hoped and believed every Methodist in the world will agree upon. The Declaration is is follows: "Without the slightest censuring the fathers we recognize that there is a waste of money, men, opportunity and influence in our present divided form. In our attack upon heathenism and perverted religion in foreign lands. A United Methodism would be formidable against our greatest modern social evil, the open saloon. A United Methodism would be a truism of God, a proval of Him who agonizes and prays o-day that they all may be one. "Co-operation—That the churches here represented require as far as practicable the same standard in the work of the churches we approve the role on the part of the several secretaries of education, representing the various church boards to standardize the curriculum of schools and colleges under their supervision. That we approve the holding of inter-Methodist preachers' institutes and Christian workers' assemblies. In view of the widespread movement for worship in theology all churches on evangelism, impelled by the finance, on a deepening conviction responsibility for world-wide evangelization, and on the necessity for increased power, in the Christian church as a community and kingdom fortune that we have been called to understand the joint leadership of the churches represented in this meeting, or a two or three days' efficiency convention, where there will be presented ways and means for increased efficiency in the work of evangelization, education, mission and other items in an enlarged efficiency, these conventions to be held in succession as far as possible, and be conducted under the leadership or committee of the joint meeting, consisting of four representatives of each of the churches represented in each of the co-operating churches. Plan Evangelistic Campaign. "Directly following these efficiency conventions there will be an evangelistic campaign in every local church of the country, and in all churches of this joint meeting, said evangelistic campaigns to be conducted under the direction of the properly accredited leaders of the respectful evangelistic movement. In evangelistic campaigns there will be held an inter-Methodist Negro Men's convention, date, place and other details to be selected by the committee to joint meeting named in this resolution. "That we inaugurate on July 1, 1915, an Inter-Methodist campaign for the raising of an average of $1 per member for the cause of Christian education among the Negroes, said campaign to all money raised for education with the period shall be counted in the total amount raised by each of the respective bodies. That the Secretaries of Education in the respective bodies of Methodism represented in this meeting have to present the plans of his united movement, of which the various foundations having funds for the extension of education, and request them to make a contribution of dollar for dollar for the total amount raised by each denomination. That all letters for the furtherance of this campaign, the committee of Secretaries, representing the several Boards of Education. Better Understanding Wanted Federation—A better understanding between Methodist bodies having Nero membership as to the duplication of churches and institutions of learning, in the management of much rivalry and unseemly competition and overlapping of churches and educational institutions should be avoided in the interest of the kingdom. Being essentially one in doctrine, a dissection of the nature of the authority of all Nero Methodist bodies, taking such steps as will show the wisdom of combining and centralizing our efforts in the direction of better summary training for our ministry. We agree that the mission of a common hymnal, a common ritual and satechism. "In no phase of our church work is there greater possibility of waste than in our mission fields. We agree that in foreign fields we shall have a plan to increase the opportunity to divide the territory for missionary activities to the territory agreed upon. "Organic Union—We record our deepest conviction that we will gladly welcome the day when Methodism will one on in face of the world. We recognize that will require much patience, mutual tolerance and the unselfish spirit of the Great Head of the church. But we set our faces to the task, knowing that some day there will be a consummation of that which we have been working on, and we are ready to jointly pray. We record the desire that in future movements and plans concerning the larger question of the union of Episcopal Methodism that all branches of Methodism shall be all united in a joint effort with our commission present to its General Conference for its approval the findings of this joint session of the commissions and seek the continuance for the next quadrennium of such commissions having General Conference authority and commissions on the above or kindred subjects as each may deem wise." As the clock struck twelve, midnight, June 30, the most epochal meeting ever held by Negro Methodists closed with a prayer with the able and venerable Bishop B. F. Lee in the chair, who called upon Dr. Robert E. Jones to invoke divine endorsement upon the findings of the day.

Special to The New York Age CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 6.—Preparations are being completed for the twelfth annual session of the National Association or Teachers in Colored Schools, to be held in this city July 28 to August 1. According to the official program sent out by J. R. E.

Appleyard state printer (union label) Tallamascie, Florida," a print shop run by white men, doing the official printing for a state which only during the past two months attempted to pass a law preventing Negro lawyers from practicing their profession within its borders. And besides it is a shop belonging to the typographical union which bans Negro printers from any opportunity whatever. The session opens Wednesday morning, July 28, with a council of college presidents and school principals presided over by Prof John Hope, president of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. Among the prominent Negro educators programmed to take active part in the work of the association are Geo L. Haynes of Fisk University, well Miller of Howard University, W. T. B.

Y., July 7 — Negro students achieved a new record in the Ithaca high school this year when three girls and one boy were included among the graduates. From the teacher's training class came Miss Ocea Jackson, and from the senior class, Miss Abia Jackson, Miss Winnired Bailor and John Jackson. The Jacksons are brother and sisters—three students from one family, another out-of-the-usual happening. Miss Ocea finished the regular course in 1914, so she bears two diplomas from the school, and will probably be appointed at an early date as a teacher. Her brother, John, was an honor student in his class, having been awarded a prize of $20 as one of the five best students in the school, the highest honor conferred by the high school. He has been prominently identified with school athletic and wear: an "T" as evidence of his prowess. Miss Bailor and Mr Jackson will proclaim Cornell in September. LARGE SUMS RAISED The annual meeting of the Tuskegee Institute Board of trustees was held at the rooms of the General Education Board, 01 Broadway, New York City Wednesday June 30 at 10 o'clock Win G Willcox or Willcox, Peek & Hughe-tressurer of the investment committee, presided in the absence of Hon. Seth low chairman of the board of trustees Present at the meeting were Julius Rosenwald, of Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago. Frank Trumbull, chairman of the board of directors of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. New York E. A. Bancroft; general counsel of the International Harvester Company, Chicago. Charles E. Mason, Boston Mass. C.W. Hare editor of the Tuskegee News. Tuskegee Ala. R. O. Simpson Furman. Ala. William M. Scott of the Cutter Electrical Company, Philadelphia, and the following additional trustees and officers of the institute Dr Booker T. Washington, principal, Warren Logan, treasurer, Emmett J. Scott, secretary, Charles H, Gibson, chief accountant, A J Willibush, Tuskegee, Ala. R R Taylor, director of mechanical industries. Invitations were extended Hon J C Napier Nashville, Temp, and Maj R R Motion of the Hampton Institute, Va., who were in the city, to attend a meeting of the executive committee of the Jeanes Fund Board, and William J Edwards, principal of the Snow Hill Institute of Snow Hill, Ala., to sit with the trustees. Dr Washington's annual report was the chief incident at the meeting. He reported an enrollment during the year of 1437 students from 32 States and Territories, 96 of these coming from 19 foreign countries or colonies of foreign countries. Dr Washington reported the total receipts during the year from all sources, for current expenses, buildings and improvements, endowment fund, and from undesignated legacies, a total of $179,708.83. The endowment fund of the school is now $1,970,214. Practically $100,000 has been raised for the modern steam heating and power plant just completed at Tuskegee at a cost of $274,000 in addition to the money also raised for current expenses. When the trustees met February 27 for their midwinter meeting at Tuskegee, there was due to be raised to complete payment on the steam heating and power plant $97,520. A systematic campaign was put under way to raise this money, and during the month of June the whole country had been divided into five parts and had been effectively canvassed. At the meeting June 30 report was made that the amount needed for the steam and power plant had been over-subserved, two of the trustees raising their individual gifts of $10,000 to $12,500 each. The budget for next year calls for an expenditure of $291,567. LIBERIA ASSE BANK TO APPLY MORATORIUM Dr. Booker T. Washington and Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul general to the United States, had a conference with representatives of the National City Bank last Thursday regarding a moratorium for Liberian. During the Taft administration Liberia floated a loan of $1,700,000, and the National City Bank was the fiscal agent therefor. Reed Paige Clark of this country was appointed collector of customs through the influence of those who hold the bonds for the loan. The interest on the loan has been promptly met. The present European war has greatly curtailed Liberal imports, thereby decreasing the customs receipts. While the interest has been promptly met to date, Liberia, by reason of losses due to the European war, is sadly in need of funds for its domestic expenses. Drs. Washington and Lyon received the most respectful consideration by the officials of the bank, but it is said they were told that only the bondholders could grant the relief asked. MONELL GETS 15 YEARS FOR MURDER OF NEGRO Special to THE NEW YORK ACE BALTIMORE, Md. July 7.—Fifteen years in the Maryland Penitentiary was the sentence that Charles Monell, white man, received from Judge Bond of the Criminal Court for killing Charles Bantum, colored. Monell, who had beat his way here from Norfolk on the way to his home in Philadelphia last April was given shelter and food by the colored man. In the morning according to Monell, a dispute occurred and he shot and killed his host. When he was carried to the police station it was found that he had on the dead man's clothes and more his gold watch. Monell explained that he accidentally put on the clothes when the police told him to hurry and dress. After telling a plausible tale to a corrections officer a vethet exonerating him was caught. States Attorney W. F. Breeding of kreel him held, however and the ground jury presentment. When the case was called a few weeks later a number of prospective jurors assured because they said that they were prejudiced against the Negro and could not accord justice when a white man was involved. Monell was tried and convicted. He hled a motion for a trial which was denied last week. Lawyers to Meet in Boston. Security Tues. 10:45 A.M. special New York office.

But do it with (Kink no more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the kindest hair of mind. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelously does it do its work in the hair. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the skin; positively removes daurdruff; promotes a luxurant growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-no-more is not a facial mask. Face masks are not claimed for it or money refunded. We will send to anyone on the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Kink-no-more, enough to cover a face mask. Endure this mask.

The greatest political triumphs she would achieve in public life fade into insignificance compared with the serene glory which radiates from the domestic shrine and which she illumines and warms by her conjugal and motherly virtues. If she is ambitious of the dual empire of public and private life, then, like the failed dog beginning his image in the water, nature too both she, and her friend, petitions nature, noses Christianity have placed her and will fail to grasp the scipte of political authority from the strong hand of her male competitor. FOR THE WAR DEPARTMENT. The following dispatch was clipped from the columns of the Los Angeles Examiner and sent to us by one of our readers: JUST LIKE A SOLDIER; FINGER FOR TIE PIN JUNCTION CITY, KAN. June 12—A human finger will shortly ornament the neckties of Private Sherrill, Troop I, Thirteenth Cavatry, at Fort Riley, if he can persuade any of the local jewelers to mount it for him or to acquire it. Sherrill walked into a jewelry store here yesterday and placed the grusome object on the counter. "Can you mount this for me on a stick pin?" he asked. The jeweler replied that he could: He picked it up. "What is it?" he asked. When told that it was a human finger he refused to undertake the job. Sherrill says that the finger was given to him by his wife, who cut it off and a friend of a grocer who was lynched in Cairo, Ill., in 1904. It was "pickled" by a physician and Sherrill has been carrying it in his pocket for several years. We make no comment upon the newspaper, which printed such an article with such a heading, for the matter demands so much more than any comment of that kind. But we call upon the Secretary of War to investigate the affair; for whether the dispatch is true or untrue it is a question that demands his attention. That there is such a soldier in the United States army there is no doubt. Nor can there be any doubt that he did do or say something which caused the above dispatch to be printed in the Los Angeles Examiner. If he did the United States Army is no place for him. But this is true, the sweeping of rooms and the chopping of wood are more necessary than the painting of pictures, and the playing of the piano. And it is upon this point that is reared the doctrine which teaches that the tasks which are necessary are, for that very reason, ennobling. In truth, according to the construction of the human mind and civilization, the absolutely necessary tasks of life are the petty tasks. They are the tasks that tend to arrest and limit the development of the individual; whereas, many less necessary tasks tend to develop the individual. Probably, there is no more important public task in the city of New York than the removal of garbage; yet, it is sheer hypocrisy to idealize the garbage man's job or to attempt to make him believe that he can get just as much pleasure and interest, out of it as he could get out of a job, for instance, as an alderman—a functionary, perhaps, the least needed in any community. We repeat, the matter calls for the attention of the, Secretary of War. AMONG BETTER BABIES. A few days ago a "better baby" contest was held in this city, and the only colored child, JAMES SHIRLEY, that was entered in the contest took third place. The contest was governed by the modern eugenic standards and measurements and not upon fatness or bright eyes or some such quality. But let us get back to woman suffrage. It is admitted that the domestic duties must be performed, and, in the present arrangement of things, these duties fall to woman. Then let man be satisfied when she performs these duties well, and grateful when she performs them cheerfully. But let him not be such a hypocrite as to pretend to believe if she takes an interest in questions of sociology or, of industrial conditions or of child welfare or of good government in general, and expresses her opinions at the polls, that the halo will be torni from her head and her domestic throne will come toppling down in ruins. We have no doubt that the judges were fair and impartial, but from what we know of human nature and racial conditions we feel pretty safe in saying, since the colored child, is given third place, that there was not a better baby in the whole number. It would be just as reasonable to argue that the laboring man would neglect his daily work and the business man run the risk of failure if allowed to take an interest in politics and to vote. That any such fears are groundless can be found out not only through common sense but by what has already been demonstrated. There are states in this country where women vote on all questions and are eligible to all offices, and it can be seen that in none of those states have they suffered deterioration of feminine character or loss of angelic qualities; not has domestic life gone to smash. 'We compliment baby JAMES SHIRLEY and predict that since he has won a place among "better babies" he will some, day win a place among "better men." Neither is there any ground for supposing that votes for women will result in political antagonism between the sexes. Here again, both common sense and what has been demonstrated prove the contrary. So there is hardly anything more than rhetorical strength if the Cardinal's remark about woman's failure "to grasp the sceptre of political authority from the strong hand of her male competitor." THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLA MATION. On July, 1 the President issued a proclamation bespeaking national interest in the exposition to commemorate fifty years' achievements of the Negro race since Emancipation, which is being held in Richmond, Va. We have no uptopian ideas about woman suffrage. We have no idea that votes for women will result in any sudden social and political millennium. And we are sure that the leaders of the Suffrage Movement make no such claims. Nor should the right of women to vote depend upon their making or making good such claims. Thousands of new male voters come to the polls each year and fail to bring about the political millennium, then why should such a result be expected or exacted of women? There is nothing expressed in the proclamation to indicate that the President has any greater or kindler interest in the race than he has heretofore evinced; nevertheless, the mere fact of his issuing a proclamation in behalf of this exposition and not making it an occasion to restate some of the things he has at other times said regarding the race is, perhaps, something to congratulate ourselves upon. And, even so, he limits the desire of the nation and the people of Virginia to encouraging the Negro in his efforts to solve his industrial problem. Elsewhere we reproduce an article from the pen of Mr. Clarence Poe; the article is entitled "Booker Washington as Dictator." Perhaps all of our readers do not know who Clarence Poe is. Mr. Poe lives in North Carolina, and his chief claim to national fame is due to the fact that he believes, or acts as though he believed, it to be a crime for white men and black men to cultivate adjoining farms. There are agitators and legislators who have gained a bit of local notoriety by advocating, as a means of holistering up white supremacy, that white and colored people should not live together in the same city block. What they advocate, stated in blunt English, means, choice residence streets for white people; badly lighted and badly paved streets for colored people. But these advocates for city segregation are mere pikers compared to Mr. Poe and their reputations are deservedly local while his is national. Mr. Poe comes to the rescue of the white race by advocating that white and colored people should not cultivate adjoining farms. What he advocates, stated in blunt English means, good farming lands for white people and poor farming lands for colored people. What all these advocates of segregation seem to overlook is the fact that the intimacy between white and colored people in the South far transcends living on the same street or on adjoining farms. The very best white people in the South, in the close personal relations, depend upon colored people. Colored people look after them in sickness and in health, they cook their food, nurse and rear their children, guard their family treasures and their family secrets; and there is abounding evidence of still closer relationships. How then is it reasonable to expect to separate these people by mere ordinances or enactments? So much for the introduction of Mr. Poe to those of our readers who may not have known who he is. We have made the introduction as full as possible in order that all of our readers may better appreciate the article on Dr. Washington. This article is in no way intended as such, but it is, nevertheless, one of the best testimonials ever paid to Dr. Washington's unremitting efforts in the interest of the race. We are also glad to see from this article that Mr. Poe reads The Age. We are sure that from time to time he will see things in The Age which, though he may disagree with them, will do him good. will help to break his narrow mental and spiritual limitations; and give him a broader and higher view of life and humanity. CARDINAL GIBBONS AND WOMAN SUFFRAGE Cardinal Gibbons has written a letter and made a statement for the purpose of clearing up what seems to have been a misunderstanding of his position on the question of Votes for Women. The following paragraph is quoted from the Cardinal's statement: Cardinal Gibbons is a man of such wide learning and experience that attention and respect must be paid to whatever he may say on any subject. What he says above will be approved by all who believe that woman's natural and exclusive field is the domestic circle. We do not agree with this view because it seeks to set and fix a limitation upon the powers of development and attainment that may be in others. It assumes the authority to declare just how far others may go in the exercise of those powers. As to woman's natural and exclusive field, who is better fitted than woman herself to discover and decide just what it is? If, as has been demonstrated, there is in woman a growing and constant desire, tendency and determination to take part in political affairs, who is there with the right to say that the activities toward securing good government are outside of woman's "natural field?" Furthermore, it strikes us that there is more poetry than fact in the Cardinal's reference to "the serene glory which radiates from the domestic shrine"; and it is the kind of poetry that harks back to the middle of the Eighteenth Century. It is nothing less than the substitution of fiction for fact to say that woman is happiest and at her best only-when she is engaged in cooking food, sweeping rooms, making beds and washing dishes. It is, however, a fiction which man has sung and taught for so many ages that woman, up to a few generations ago, believed it herself. These domestic duties are absolutely necessary, and the sensible woman faces them and performs them cheerfully; nevertheless, it is contrary to every day experience to say that these duties are the cause of the serene glory radiating from the domestic slime; in fact, they are often the cause of annoyances, worries and fits of bad temper that sometimes dim and even extinguish the "serene气色." MISPLACED CONFIDENCE. MISPLACED CONFIDENCE. THE AGE has been imposed upon. We admit it frankly and we take occasion to say so in terms frankly spoken. We had assurances from one who we trusted that the proper arrangements were not being made for the entertainment and reception of the Pythians of the United States, and, as a chronicler of news proceeded to call attention to the so-called insufficiency of arrangements. And why should this not be so? There is no good reason why a woman should be made to feel that she must apologize for confessing that she does not like to cook and sweep rooms and make beds and wash dishes. These are necessary routine duties that generally fall to woman, and it is right for man to expect her to perform them faithfully and well, but he goes too far when he also attempts to compel her to say she enjoys them. He exceeds all reason when he declares she has no right to do anything else. We now learn that the "facts" we relied on for our editorial statement are not facts.' We have assurances from Grand Chancellor W. L. Anderson of Ohio Pythians; from Hon. J. L. Jones, titular leader of the Calantheans; from the chairman of the Columbus Executive Committee; and from Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green; all denying most veilently, the statements sent to us'as' facts.' Of course, man must have his meals cooked, his bed made, his socks darned, etc., and up to now he has not found anybody to do those things so well and so cheaply as woman, but to assert that she was put on earth for those express purposes is to attach too much importance to his personal needs. The doctrine is often advanced that there can be as much art in sweeping a room or in chopping wood as there is in painting a picture or playing the piano. Of course, the people who sweep rooms and chop wood are not the people who advance this doctrine. To tell by whom and why it is advanced is, as Kipling would say, another story. We regret that we should have been led into doing the good people of Columbus this injustice, for injustice it was and is. Confidence in our informant should not have led us into this error, without investigation, and such poor amends as we may now make, we gladly make, for we would not unwittingly do injustice to the great order of Pythians, and only our cagerness to save from disappointment the host of Pythians who are readers of THE AGE, who were and are looking to Columbus, took us afield and into error. We are publishing in another column Supreme Chancellor Green's telegram, and a letter from R. B. Barcus, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Columbus Pythian organization. We are as anxious as the committee that the meeting shall be a great success. COMMENDING THE AGE Please accept my congratulations and compliments on the splendid journalistic enterprise displayed in the two last issues, June 24 and July 9, of your upstairs in these issues, and to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Oklahoma and Maryland cases. These are banner issues. It required unusual industry and expenience to money to accomplish what you have done in these issues and it places the readers of The Age and the public under lasting obligations for the great service it has rendered them. P. E. S. PINCHBACK. 1341 You street, N. W. Washington, D. C. July 4. The Age, A Race Defender. To the Editor of The Age: To the editor to esteem you my congratulations and excellent manner in which you have treated the decision rendered by the United States Supreme Court regarding the constitutionality of the Fifteenth Amendment—that the State constituted a part of the Constitution itself. And, yet, we feel confident that universal suffrage for women will bring about better, cleaner and more honest government. Here again we rely on common sense and what has already been demonstrated. In the decision rendered it fully declares our rights as citizens of this country, and abrogates all laws that we made by gates to abridge its effect. Finally, regardless of opinions, woman is going to gain the right to vote. The idea that she is not entitled to this right belongs to a mediaeval age, and, like most mediaeval ideas, is wrong and will be discarded. Furthermore, it will be found that she can vote and still make a good wife and mother; and, for liberal minded men she will make a better wife and mother. There is no incompatibility between Woman Suffrage and domestic happiness. What is more important than all to us, this decision was unanimous, was that we should not be the southern man, and an officer in the Confederate army, who was personally conversant with the past and present conditions as existed at the time, but recommended a large part of your paper in treating upon this subject and in giving the comments of the lieutenant or the officer in this decision. In this respect you have outstripped At another time we shall try to show why it is wisdom for all colored voters to support the cause of Woman Suffrage your co-laborers in this field and displayed to our people that The Age stands foremost in not only discriminatory behavior, but also has the courage to defend our race from the many unjust attacks made upon us by others. The Course of The Age he as the past, for unjust of our people upon all of lines of moral, mental and physical improvement is the sincere wish for your numerous readers. 572 Clinton street, Camden, N. J. June 29. Refuses to Read The Times. the Editor of The Ago. I have read with pleasure your editorial in the June 24th issue of The Negro entitled "New York Times and the Negro." I have read the New York Times for twenty years regularly every day and even when out of town would, when it was possible, buy the Times, until its recent editorial concerning the citizens of Georgia for complying Leo Frank on the evidence of a Negro. From that day I have refused to even read The Times and I sincerely hope that my people will follow your advice in this matter and apply the same care and paper or firm that I againnake the Neeson. Again thank you for your editorial. I am very truly. ANDREW J. BRANIC. BOOKER WASHINGTON AS DICTATOR By Clarence E. Poe of North Carolina. There's a very homely but very expressive country phrase about the man who imagines himself greater than he is, and who is eager to grow for his breeches. It seems something as if this disease were afflicting our famous Tuskegee Negro educator. Recently, the United States Senate included in its immigration from a section to the United States, but Booker Washington and others got busy and the House of Representatives defeated the proposition, Representative Burnett of the New York State who represented the New York Age gave credit to Washington for the result, and added: "It takes no stretch of the imagination to connect the influence of D. Stuart Washington with the design taken by Representative from Alabama." This alleged triumph in making the Congress of the Nation reverse itself seems to have tarnished Washington's efforts to promote a proposed to dictate to white people North and South, as to what they shall or shall not see at their own places of amusement and recreation. For example, the picture play, "The Birth of a Nation," has been on exhibition in New York and other places, a play produced at enormous expense, showing Northern Americans as to war and reconstruction. The plan has been to send the play over the South and West also. The Negro newspaper has just all the Negro newspapers of the country a circular letter urging Negroes to join together in every town "and adopt in advance such maurasures as to prevent the abolition of the photophoebe." The Birth of the Nation. In any community, North or South. In other words, Booker Washington proposes that Negroes everywhere shall get together and dictate to the white man to get them out, but may or may not see in their own places of amusement—because, forsooth, they play presents the point of view of the white South. It doesn't matter that the whole North and West have had play before, until now have had play after play, book after book, speaker after speaker presenting the anti-Southern point of view and no Southerner thinks of trying to stop them. But as soon as they have had play, they are ready to show the people the other side of the question, then the Negro-equality-societies of the North and their allies in the South proposes to violate all the ancient traditions of freedom and justice, and to adopt in advance such measures as will prevent the production." Going Just a Little Bit too Far. Booker Washington is reckoned the wisest leader his race ever had. "And he is certainly shrewd. Among Southern white people he gives the impression of a patriarchal and social privileges; while among the restless equality- the Negroes that they land and property and descent, the social and political rights will come all right of themselves. As the New York City Negro, on May 15, "As a race we are entitled to a place in society and politics, and these rights will come quicker. If we work together." Everywhere he tells the Negroes to "buy land, buy land." "The great need is to get away from the condition of the authority and get to another land, and get a foothold in some enterprise which will spell independence." And he boasts in the New York "Times" of the ease with which Negroes can get farms, anywhere in the white Southern white land owners, will sell land to Negroes quicker than to men of their own race and blood. He says: "In certain sections of the South white land owners as well as colored land owners offer premiums to source colored families to live on their land." We repeat that Booker Washington is a shrewd leader. He has managed most skillfully to present one side of the picture to the white people and another to the black people, go too far with his new program announced a year ago when he declared that it is time for Negroes to "get off of" the defensive and begin to inculcate the values of the constructive progressive policy." When he begins to glory in the failure of the Southern whites to stick together, suggesting that Negroes in some sec- tion of the country are not white and begins to propose that Negroes shall dictate to white people as to what kind of plays they shall see. he may find his new "aggressive policy" a little too harsh for some of the people he has therefore unaware to keep lines up behind him. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY THE PHOTO PLAY DANGER.' To the Editor of The Age. "The Danger of the Moving Picture Film" was the subject of a free lecture at the Municipal Building, New York City during the middle of May. The theme, dealing with the physical dangers of motion picture films in Africa, battles round-up in Wyoming, no doubt is instructive. But the moral danger of the movie exhibition is a subject that should merit serious attention from municipal authorities throughout the republic with the moral and intellectual welfare at heart. For the latent consequences of the movie-stage its cheap appeal both in admission fees and the small expenditure of mental energy required to amuse, intrigue and flirt with the "Birth of a Nation" are permitted lax censorship. Producers and authors who regard the American public as too crude and unrefined to respond favorably to productions appealing purely in artistic merit can hardly hope to raise the histories of the nation to higher standards to exploit the static public tastes are the stage's standard of production. If New York is the nations aesthetic criterion, the situation. In many instances at present, it is discouraging. The city has been treated at great expense by high minded citizens to lift the public to appreciation conformative to the best traditions of dramatic art, but the experiment has despite the lean theatrical season just passed. The Rev. Thomas Dixon's "The Birth of a Nation" movie is the tremendous success because the unfavorable nature of the play has nature. It is about the first play of any kind that critics of the Gotham City have been unanimous in praise. And furthermore, the producer, D. W. Griffith, infine that success. It is about the actors, artists, educators and laymen "commend it as "based upon truth in every detail." But history says that it is not truthful in every vital detail. It says that the office holders of the city are the public officials. Nor were the Negroes of slavery or reconstruction rapists, pillagers and destroyers of property. And history goes so far as to state that the Negroes have a single record of a single male or female notorious Negro character; and still further emphasises the fact that wherever the Negro historically stands out it is a noteworthy achievement intellect, heroism or athletic prowess. If the movie film is to dominate the speaking stage and supersede, as some fear, the legitimate comedy, drama and satire, the legitimate drama and reckon serious loss even though it is an ideal. And that serious loss is in the very flower of dramatic art, the very miniseries of dramatic action; he exquisite power and grace and heart of a man who works in this loss is deployable. To compensate it with pantomime action inciting unwholesome emotion and race hatred is to develop in the national consciousness the spiritual content and destructive to those conditions which have made possible the finest creations in the arts. Aesthetics reflect the character of the epops and epops are traced solely to the religious ideals of ethical and fraternal ideals. The powerful and influential cinegram novelty could easily be prohibited from populating race prejudice and the dense legislation abolishing the highest possibilities of screen artistry. To this end the church could be a powerful refining counteracting influence. The dense legislation abolishing the prized art of organized religion. The day after a white brusler lost to a black one at Reno, Nevada, night letters were telegraphed to the Indian Indian Endeavor—writes its founder in the article—to the governors of the various states and mayors of cities, protecting against showing the prize-film film in theaters stopping the exhibition of prize-film films within the United States. Due, claims Dr. Francis E. Clark, to the powerful religious influence of the Southern Baptist churches in almost every section of the United States and the world. We recommend to the various Christian Endeavor Societies and kindred religious bodies of the Negro church and clergymen and official laymen to attend the quarterly meetings of the Society of Christian Endeavor at Boston, calling attention to the slander of all entire race in the Rev. Thos. Dixon's photo-story, "The Birth of a Nation." Also calling attention to Dr. Francis E. Clark's article in the Journal of the Church under the caption, "The Society of Christian Endeavor, which religious body is solely responsible for influencing legislation against the prize-film film."

THE ARSNAL HOUSE MISS WAISE WISE, who was J. vertisiert as a "brilliant coloratura soprano and one of the world's most acclaimed concert debut or Wednesday evening, June 30, at Bethel A. M. E. Church, 54 West 13d street, the Rev. B. W. Arnett, pastor, under the "auspices" of the R. G. Doggett, Musical Bureau. She was as a pianist. Fatha F. W. the pianist, with R. Byron-Shelton as accompanist. The R. G. Doggett Musical Bureau is the inspiration, and under the direct management of my enthusiastic young friend, R. G. Doggett; musical and dramatic diletante and critic, and it is his aim to develop the venture into a permanent and satisfactory element of the musical life of the race. It is a praise-worthy intention, and he has from me a sincere and earnest interest in the amenable effort to take up worthy and talented artists who lack an opportunity for a, hearing, and give them an audience. To assist in the development of another's talent, when the chances are that that talent would remain undiscovered and, unknown except, through our efforts, is to some of us a joyous task, carrying with it its own reward. And even though sometimes the effort is misdirected and still the consciousness of a well-intentioned effort. And so I wish friend Doggett unbounded success in the development and expansion of his Musical Bureau. I do not believe in the use of perfervid and superlative adjectives in describing artistic endeavors, and I do not believe in the employment of that sort of language in the announcement of an artist's forthcoming appearance. To refer to Miss Wise, for instance, as "one of the world's most tuneful cantatrices" is to burden her beforehand with a tremendous handicap, and one which few singers can overcome. As a matter of fact, as a great singer in the world, Miss Wise is a stately presence and manner, and she has a sweet voice which lacks any remarkable quality and which can by no means be called great. It is an unfortunate necessity with our most talented people that the opportunity for fundamental work in the development of vocal power and culture is either lacking in the days of youth or not taken advantage of. Many of the singers of the race could have attained the heights had they been willing to stay in the valley and toil a while longer. And as well as be lacking in talent as a singer, they have been achievement without first developing the sary strength. The prizes in life's race are won by those who are prepared for the test. The physician had to give years to his text book, the painter had to learn to make straight lines and true circles, the mechanic to serve his apprenticeship, the school teacher had to serve in the classes. So with all who achieve, save, it seems to me, the one who claims recognition as a musician. There are a few notable exceptions among Negro musicians, but the exceptions are too far apart. If the manager is dogged is doing with his bureau leads him on the part of his singers and instrumentalists of the need for strenuous and constant endeavor in preparation he can take unto himself the knowledge of the accomplishment of a good work. But I must get back to Miss Wise. Her program embraced six groups of songs, fourteen in all, although she sang only thirteen, not including one repetition. Two songs were starred as being light, the Roses and You, by *Clarence M. Jones*, and *Why Do They Gall Me Snowball?* by *Chris Smith*. Other colored composers represented on her program were *Harrison Steward*, with *No Skin Baby Harron Cook* with *Brown Skin Baby Harron Cook*, with *Harry Burrell*, *Harry Burrell* with *You Ask Me* if I Love You, and *J. Rosannand Johnson* with *The Bleeding Moon*, sung originally by Miss Wise with Cole & Johnson's "Red Moon" company. Other numbers were "Tit for Tat", *Patrick Harron* with *The Bleeding Moon*, "The Land of Heart's Desire", *Mann*, "Sergnade die Gillotin", *Goblair*, "I Say That Nothing, Shall Deter Me", *Bicet* (Carmen); "When,the Tide Comes In." *Milstead*, "Steal Away to Jesus" and *Jordan Roll, Folk Songs*, *Nobles*, *Jordan Roll, Folk Songs*, and *Serenata* (L. Corsicanaer) and Without question the program would have been improved, from a musical standpoint, if several of these songs had been omitted as principal numbers, especially "Tit for Tat," "No One" and "Why Do They Call Me Snowman?" As encores they would probably, be in good taste, but not as an evidence of the work of the composer, who desires serious consideration. There is nothing critically noteworthy in the singer's efforts until she reached the final number, which embraced "The Bleeding Moon" and the Corsican's serenade. She was in costume for this number as "Nakomis," the Indian maid of the "Red Moon" play, and her rendition of the number with which her name was associated for several years, the assimilation of her efforts for the evening. An effective was her singing of the serenade and to insistent and continued demands for an encore she returned and repeated "Tz. Bleeding Moon." The accompaniments were, played by R Byron Shelton, of the team of Fiddler & Shelton, playing this week at the Lafayette Theatre. Shelton had probably not had sufficient time to familiarize himself with the program and occasional unanticipated and unsuccessful wore-offable. He appears to be a good reader and performer. The program billed Miss Ethel L. Richardson, pianist, as assisting. T program rendered by Miss Richardson was the feature of the evening. The program was eliminated of one of the selections comprising her last number. Some years ago I went over into the wilds of Jersey in response to an invitation from a friend, a Methodist minister, who was having a chorus from the Oranges sing that little bucolic canata, "The Hay-makers," for the benefit of his church. The girl playing the accompaniments to the simple little musical play attracted my attention, and later, in speaking of it, she gave a long speech as a future. That girl was Ethel Richardson, and as I listened to her last week at Bethel it came to me that my predictions were coming true. And eventually they will, because she recognizes the absolute necessity for preparation and continued preparation, and although she has gone a long way upon the achievement of achieve a realization of actual goal is some distance beyond. She is a pupil of Ethel Leginzkó the Russian pianist. Miss Richardson's programmed numbers were: Hungarian Rhapsoide No. 8. Lizzi; Paraphrase on Straus' Misc. Valtz; Schatz; Auto-Musica; Misc. Valtz; Schatz; Auto-Musica; Misc. Valtz; Bamboula." S. Coloridge, Taylor. Taken from pour le piano. Debusy, and Etude. E major, opus 10. Chopin. It will be a pleasure to note the further progress of this girl's development. Ushers for the evening were Miss Carrietta V. Owens, Miss Vivienne. A. Ward, William N. Colson, and J. Lackay Grant. LAFAYETTE THEATRE Did you see the crowds at the Lafayette Theatre Monday? You know why? One of the best shows on the season, and how the people enjoyed it! It is pretty hard to say who received the most applause. Every act went big. The headliners, Fiddler & Shelton and Abbie Mitchell each received a wonderful reception, verifying the judgment of the Harlem such classy favorites as the above. Edwards & Hardie returned after a short absence, and were wonderfully received. A sketch by two clever men, a dancing act of Ryan & Maybell, and a troupe of educated cats and dogs made up the balance of this very pleasing bill. The last half of the week Fiddler & Shelton and Abbie Mitchell are held over. Bowman & Norris, who are new to the theater, and Joe King, a versatile juggler, a comedy sketch, and a wonderful novelty will make up the bill for the last half. For next week's show the management have engaged Watts & Watts, two very clever knockabout acrobatic comedians.

New York YETTE ATRE 132nd Streets First Emmanuel Church. Mr. Richard Manuel Bolden, the Most Eminuel Church, was 130th street, said that the God is commonly used by people, thoroughly and many thoughts. The God is the group minds is nothing than self conscious fear thoughts of thoughts. This ground for concern God produces in the mind of thinkers, God's many, with varifiable personalities, sets in this course a fruitful field for revealing theance of the One true God. As most individuals their God is old impotent, deaf and dumb, but aroused Ho is tyrannical and or is exceptional, those who invoke and the blessings themselves from their race and national God, and call down and plead curses upon their enemies, is calyx to unclothe sayings words, and institutions of the sacred or our own God, if lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." There it is our duty to point out to the sake, the God in the glorified eternal Jesus Christ Emmanuel Eternal We should not ourselves away and eternal, where there is only always harmony and joy forever, we to retire with the I am that I am. When we are alone with this our True, Holy, Just and good God, we are united and uncreated beings of this are with us giving us useful function and tender aid. The Immanuel does not look upon us as servants but rather as friends. Note its own expression on this thought: "We are my friends, that whatever we serve, we serve for the service, for the servant knoweth what his Lord doeth: but I have asked you friends: for all things that have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. The commandment of God is to love all mankind of friends with Him is this. Love God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as themselves." "Continue ye in love. You love one another as a friend. You love one another as they keep my commandments ye shall love in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His love." The Father God that Lord Spends about is the only true rule that ruleth in righteousness over The Sunday School was crowded with children at the opening at 2 p.m. The Rev. Geo.
