Facts About Development of Harlem Realty Businesses
There are twenty-one Negro real estate offices in Harlem doing business of varying proportions. Some are negotiating big property deals from offices impressively furnished with mahogany and fine thick rugs, and others are doing a less pretentious business with only desk room, or in improvised offices in back parlors. No matter where they are, however, they are all doing business, because there is plenty of real estate business to be done in Harlem.
Trenton Man, Messenger to New Jersey Governors, Was Also Extensive Dealer in Valuable Antiques
Trenton, N. J.—The will of the late Samuel W. Gordon, who travel New Jersey governors as messenger for forty-six years, drowned an estate, the approximate value of which is $120,000, to his wife with a provisio that his sister be provided with a home. At death of the widow the estate is to be divided among three children, Samuel G. Gordon of Philadelphia, Mrs. Mary H. Comer of Atlantic City, N. J., and Miss Janet M. Gordon of Trenton.

This same broker showed letter from a combine of Jack-people who are having him real estate investments for them in the amount of $110,000. Other brokers showed similar marks from both northern and western states.
$120,000 Estate To Heirs of Trenton Man Messenger
When questioned about real estate conditions in Harlem, the brokers are agreed that the demand for houses far exceeds the available supply. This condition exists everywhere in New York City, but it is more acute and more keenly felt in Harlem where there is increasing overcrowding and but little acquisition of new property. Harlem real Estate brokers have ambitious plan to relieve this situation. The material boundaries of Harlem will be limited to open expansion in Harlem, said J. C. Thomas. By "natural boundaries of Harlem," Mr. Thomas meant the Harlem River on the north, the East River on the East, Morton Park on the West and Central Park on the South.
Residential Welding Limits
Already Negro real estate men are launching drives to expand as much as possible toward these limits. George R. Thompson of the Harlem Real Estate Exchange has acquired several parcels of property, west of Eighth avenue between 125th and 145th streets. The S. B. Mitchell company is working southward and has acquired several parcels on 116th street. Several companies have made progress northward and have opened apartments located for women at a west of 147th street. Westward a number of enterprising brokers have opened apartments between Eighth and Edgeconle avenues on 147th, 148th and 150th streets. With this enrichment of the Harlem real estate market by local and southern capital and with a steady opening of new property in Harlem for Negroes, most Harlem real estate men are employing a pouperous present and anticipate an equally prosperous future.
The real estate men are being commended for encouraging good sound property and a means not only financial independence but also social self-respect and progress. They unite in declaring that they will train upon out-and-out property speculation. A house put through a rapid succession of sales, each time at increased profit, undergoes successive increases in rent which the rent payer must meet.

BY LESTER A. WALTON
To properly understand and fully appreciate the significance and scope of the interracial movement recently launched in the Southland, it is incumbent on those who study Southern conditions from afar to take a trip to Dixie and get a close up picture of white people and colored people working earnestly, fearlessly and in complete accord with a view to securing absolute justice for the Negro and to make the term democracy more than a mere figure of speech.
Being a Miseravian by birth I quite naturally possess the "You've got to show me the trait. With respect to the activities of the Interracial Commission in the South I can unhesitatingly state in the South I can unhesitatingly take great pleasure in publicly known my observations on the subject.
On Sunday, July 18, I accompanied Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where, situated twenty-one miles from Asheville, is a large educational institution conducted something on the Chautauqua plan, and maintained during the summer months for Southerners.
Dr. Moton had been invited by the Interracial Commission of which he was a member to address a group of teachers and V. M. C. A. workers, representing every Southern State in the Union, many of whom have preconceived and peculiar views on social matters. few, if any, had ever heard the Negro's of the case intelligently presented by a Negro.
Prompts at 8 p.m. Dr. Moton was escorted to college Hall, which hunted a Nathan Hall who was traveling to Dr. Moton and I wore the other guits of color and we were invited to the platform.
Immediate that I was overcome by a strangling of translation as I took my seat being mindful of the fact that I was a danger in a strange land. I was at a distance only a minute away as the audience began to sing the hymn. The Kingdom and the gentilian sitting on my right immediately shared with me a song of praise. I knew their good work with brotherhood, and took singing as his duty to any one of them.
Want Negroes to Be Frank
Do Motors closed by address by predicting that the bulk of the Negro population will remain in the south and that the two races will move north by side with mutual respect both working harmoniously to promote the welfare of the nation.
Southerners Applaud Moton.
The applause cheered upon the speaker at the conclusion of his last last several seconds. Quite a number came to the platform, shook hands and complimented the speaker.
This outspoken manifestation of approval I regarded as most significant, for it convinced me that the South at last is in a mood to hear the Negro's side of the race problem; that the South is beginning to assume that there is more than one side; that the South realizes more covered customs and threadbare traditions cannot successfully cope with newer conditions so vastly different from those existing forty—even ten years ago. Monday morning Dr. Moton was invited to talk to a class of young men and women from Mississippi, most of whom are of the Baptist denomination.
Despite the fine impression made by Dr. Moton the evening previous I was just a little skeptical concerning this engagement. White_Mississippians and Baptists!
I was given another agreeable surprise, however, for after being introduced by Dr. W. D. Weatherford, Dr. Moton was accorded a cordial welcome. Sunday his address was in the nagee of an appeal for fair play for the Negro. Monday morning he appeared in the role of a teacher lecturing on the progress of the American Negro. That thousands of years ago the black man contributed much to civilization the speaker stressed members of the class were invited to ask Moton questions at the conclusion of his lecture when they did so, questions and answers were respectively given and without embarrassment trace of all feeling
Influencing Public Opinion
The visit of Dr. R. R. Motson to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where he made an appeal to the white South for a square deal for members of his race to a striking example of what is going on to bring about a betterment of conditions. Other colored speakers are appearing before white authorities and making similar addresses.
Such white men as R. H. King, W. W. Alexander, N. Nashville, Tenn.; R. B. Alexander, Atlanta, Ga.; N. C. Mitchell of Kansas College and N. C. Weatherford of the University of Tennessee, are affiliated with Southern colored men to develop public opinion among white people, thereby causing them to abandon the slave-like attitude toward the Negro that attitude which assigns to him a "demeine place" in our National life.
There are 1,002 counties in the thirteenth Southern states, and under the direction of the commission white and colored people have organized and are striving to bring about the desired racial adjustment in over seven hundred countries to date. Eighty-seven secretaries colored and white, are engaged in visiting the different counties.
The commission understands that its aims and objects are to be accomplished publicly upon which it expects to be by appointment of the heart and head. It takes the position that the white South can be brought more readily to see the error of its wager by pointing out its deficiencies calmly and dispassionately rather than by criticism ingested with animus.
White Women Join Movement.
The visit to Tuskegee Institute during the national session of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs two prominent Southern white women in contact with prominent Southern colored women on matters affecting the life in the South is additional proof that there is a disposition on the part of black people to cooperate with colored people. On Saturday, July 17, a conference was held at the home of Mrs. Booker T. Washington. The white women present were sent to the Methodist Church youth. They were Mrs. Luke Johnson, Gothic G. and Mrs. Estelle H. Knock of Nassau, Tenn. The colored women in attendance were Mrs. John Hope, Atlanta, N.C.; Mrs. Marielle Hawkins, Brown, Selma, N.C.; Mrs. M. W. Wilkinson, Orangeburg, S. C.; Mrs. Jaine Porter, Barnett, Peake, N.C.; Mrs. Lacy Lansy, Augusta, Ga.; Mrs. Mery McLeod Bothme, Daytona, Fla.; Mrs. Robert K. Moton and Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. The conference was marked by andor the use of teclin.
Here is another incident that prompts one to think the South is undergoing a change of heart. On Sunday, July 17, Dr. Moton spoke to over six thousand persons in the Court House Square at Clarkesdale, Miss, under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce of Memphis, Tenn; Clarkesdale and adjacent towns. White and colored stood together and segregation was temporarily forgotten. The white speakers along with the colored emphasized the need of the races to live without friction. Even Editor Money of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, took kindly to the press testily made by Dr. Moton, members of his race not be referred to "niggers" and "darkies," as the editor had done inadvertently during his talk.

Negroes, "Jim Crow" cars and the refusal of Pulaski officials to sell reservations to colored Americans—yes, even to aged colored women who are compelled to sit up all night long—arouse unbridled resentment and occasion feeling within our breaks greatly different from that experienced by me when I was singing "And crown their good with brotherhood" way up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina; but optimism takes the place of pessimism as to the future when we view with growing interest and satisfaction the activities of such agencies as the Interracial Commission.
The South is to-day undergoing a revolutionary change on the race question—not a change of the chameleon variety, but one sufficiently obvious to inspire a feeling of hopefulness, and cause us to exclaim, as did a young college student, that we are in question with me on the train between Black Mountain, N. C., and Asheville. "We shall soon see the dawn of a new day."

VA. BUSINESS LEAGUE HEARS EMMETT SCOTT
Portsmouth, Va.—The sixth annual meeting of the Virginia State Negro Business League came to a close to night after a two days' session with an address by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, of Washington, D.C., secretary of the National Negro Business League. Dr. Scott in his address reviewed the history of Negro business development during the past twenty years under the stimulus of the National Business League which was organized by the late Booker T. Washington to promote the commercial and financial development of the colored people of America. Dr. Scott's address in part follows.
"It was during the month of August, in 1900, when the country had been stirred by race riots at New Orleans, La. New York City, and Akron, Ohio, that the Sage of Luzerne invited a small group of colored men and women to meet in Boston for the purpose of organizing a National Negro Business League to promote the commercial and financial development of the Negro people of America. At that first meeting, a few courageous spirits ventured forth, not to indulge in self-laudation, but to take stock of the Negro's achievements in the world of business during the years which had followed upon his freedom. There was but little of what may be called rampant antagonism but there was a great deal of showright, greed, other talk.
"For the first time in the history of the world black men had come together to appraise themselves, financially speaking, to exchange experiences and to work out a program for the commercial development of their race. Colored bakers, farmers, merchants, inners, real estate managers, undertakers, garers, gathered at that first convention. The sessions were business-like and hopeful. There was recognition on every side that the security and progress of the Negro people in this land must depend upon the development of a moral and financial worth commanding respect, and an industrial capacity to make them useful and independent. Booker Washington's tarnished stature, 'Freedom is a conquest and not a bequest' was accepted as the sign of the hour.
"Social and industrial interest in sweeping over our country. It is a symptom of the time not to be ignored. The country is in unpleasant. Firms have been made to set race against race, labor against capital, employee against employer, farmer against tenant, the stronger against the weaker, men of high rank against men of low reputation. We colored Americans have been compelled to bear the burden of our share of justice and dissatisfaction at a time when it would be that over the horizon of our country we have proved our right to fair play, we have secured our right to fair play, we have secured the fright of our country's moral alteration of our country's moral. Every call for man power was answered by eager hundreds of black men who defended the uniform to go forth, a defender of our country's legacy.
Austrial mortal outrages have stirred hostilities, and done much to destroy former relations of good fellowship between the taxes. Present conditions if not hatred may become dangerous and alarming. It is necessary therefore that the real leaders of both races should seek in every way possible to stabilize the present situation. The races are not hopelessly hostile toward each other. If our ideals and professions are not moonshine and haptest, then a peaceful solution will certainly be found. I confess there is much in the record to

HAIR VIM POMADE
BY SENATOR HARDING
Marion, Ohio—When notified officially on Thursday, July 22, of his nomination as the Republican candidate for President of the United States, Senator Warren G. Harding expressed himself on questions affecting the Negro as follows:
"I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment or all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battle-
"I believe the Negro citizens of Antefields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of Sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands.
discourage optimism. To take the war period alone: During 1917 and 1918 the colored people of America gave a demonstration of patriotic loyalty, efficiency and courage unexcelled by any other element of our population. Democracy was at stake, yet during those critical years 100 colored men and women were lynched in the United States, more than ever before during a like period. That was discouraging, and not much more encouraging, during 1919, and so far during 1920.
"I am not despondent over the outlook. The situation is serious but not desperate. A healthy sentiment in favor of fair play is growing up on many sides. Wise and courageous leaders of both sides are now contending that the biggest task of democracy is to keep our house in order. It is want to talk ideal unseen we practice justice. And in the final triumph of justice I never lose faith.
"What the Negro wants with all his heart, and what America will proudly concede him. I do believe, can be stated very easily."
"In substitution for lynching, he wants justice in the courts, he wants the privilege of serving on juries; the right to vote, the right to hold office. Like other citizens, he wants better educational facilities, abolition of the 'Jim Crow' car and of observation and segregation in the Government service; the same integrity training and chance for promotion in the army that white men enjoy; destruction of the housing system, an equal wage, better housing, better sanitary conditions, and reform in postal institutions where men and women in the face have uttered grievous wrongs."
"That to the Negro problem that is America's problem. Does it impress much upon the greatest democracy in the world? I cannot believe that it does."

Washington, D. C.—A feature of the reception which was tendered by the employees of the Patient Office to the retiring Commissioner of Patents, Mr. Newton of Georgia, was the part taken by a colored clerk, William I. Lee, who on behalf of the employees of his race presented the retiring Commissioner with a fine portfolio. This presentation by the colored employees of the office was prompted by the fact that under the present administration the colored employees have been given a liberal showing in clerkship and salaries.
Despite the time honored usage with reference to written contracts, Judge Robert H. Terrell of the Municipal Court has just ruled that verbal promises, even though not contained in the written contract pertaining to the sale of real estate, are as binding as though they had actually been incorporated in the written contract, according to an opinion in awarding Rosalie Robinson a courtship agreement broker. The judgment represented a deposit put in by Rosalie Robinson on the premises at 1015 Twenty-first street, Northwest. The house was to be delivered to Rosalie Robinson on November 1, 1919, it was alleged, or the deposit refunded. This clause was left out of the written contract, but the plaintiff claimed she was assured by Hill, orally, that she would get the house by that time or the money would be refunded. Hill failed to turn over the house to Hill, orally, that she would claim the oral agreement. The Municipal Court upheld her contention and gave her a judgment of 500 against Hill.

CHURCHES IN THE COURTS.
When a religious society has to appeal to the civil courts to regulate its internal affairs, it is a matter of regret to those who have the welfare of the church at heart. While sinners may soff at the evidence of the lack of harmony among the saints on earth, the matter is one that should arouse reflection among those responsible for it. This condition of affairs has prevailed in bighel A. M. E. Church, New York City; for the past few weeks, owing to the refusal of the church officials to accept the new pastor appointed by the bishop. Application was made for an injunction last week, to restrain the trustees from barring the door against the pastor.
Now, it seems to the layman on the outside that the church people should get together and settle such differences as this without recourse to the courts. If the new pastor is not a fit man for the church, the bishop should not have appointed him, and if he made such appointment without a full knowledge of the facts in the case, he should withdraw if such appointment is proved unfit. On the other hand, at the pastor is in every way qualified to fill the position, the church should accept him without question.
Many insinuations are being made of ministers of questionable character being forced upon the prominent churches of the denomination. If this is so, the bishops should no longer tolerate this class of ministers in the church. If the bishops are equally guilty in foisting this class of preachers upon the churches, charges should be preferred against them. Although it was shown at the last general conference of this denomination that it is a hard matter to get a hearing for charges against a bishop. Can it be that charges against minister and bishops cannot receive a proper hearing in the church courts and that the lagmen are forced to take matters in their own hands or else have the controversy taken into the civil courts.
Let the brethren get together and settle these matters without recourse to the civil courts, if possible. Practice more real Christianity in the churches and give the people a square deal
LEADERSHIP IN CAMPAIGN.
The question of affording proper and effective leadership for the Negro Republicans in the present political campaign is one that should entitle the careful attention of the Republican leaders and the National Committee of the party.
There is a demand for a high class leadership, based on something more than the ability of the leader to make living out of politics. No mere mercy can till the bill. A leader who can command the respect of the race at large is needed, a strong man, possessing character as well as ability. One of the qualifications of such a leader should be the fact that he is a voter. It would be somewhat incongruous for a man who has never cast a vote himself to be elevated to a position where he should arise others how to vote. The elevation of such a character to a position of leadership will only weaken the appeal of the party to this class of voters.
It would be wise to those in authority heed this warning and exercise suitable discretion in the choice of those individuals, who may be entrusted with the leadership of the Republican campaign among the Negro voters of the country. Much in the way of organization needed to be done, especially in those northern States, where the number of Negro voters has been largely augmented by immigration from the South and by the extension of the suffrage of the women. Effective means, should taken to enroll and qualify those new voters, so that they may exercise the franchise next November. To do this it should be done will require ardour and practical workers, who can common the respect and confidence of the people. For practical workers and genuine volunteers guard, under the leadership of man character and ability.
THE SOUH GETTING TOGETHER.
The editor of Tit. Ann recently made trip through several of the Southern states, in company with Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. In course of his journey, which brought into frequent contact with men and women of the dominant race, he found some people to get together in the session of the relations of the two in that section. The white people of the South, or at a considerable portion of the best.
thinking element among them, wanted to know what the 'colored' people were thinking. They desired a free and frank expression of views upon the situation as it appeared to one coming from the outside. They welcomed and were ready to, listen to an expression of opinion as to how to go about establishing this better relationship that they professed a desire to inaugurate.
These inquiries exponents of the white South were told the following facts. That "jim crow" laws were a menace to the welfare of the section; that lawlessness, mob brutality and racial injustice and discrimination of all kinds were a greater menace to the prosperity of the Southland. They were told that the Negroes wanted an end put to all these forms of injustice and oppression; that the race wanted better educational facilities provided for the children, in the way of adequate buildings, more competent teachers and longer school term. The Negroes wanted better housing accommodations, with sanitary improvements in the parts of the town where they dwelt. In a word they wanted to be treated as human beings the friendly inquiers that the Negroes and not as mere animals, without minds or souls. It was also impressed upon objected to being referred to as "darkies," "niggers" and "coons."
The result of this contagion between representatives of the two races is that future conferences have been planned to take place in different localities, where the subject of effecting better relations can be threshed out on this basis between the representatives of both races. Each side has promised to be free and frank in the expression of its views and in seeking and devising methods of adjustment that will clarify the situation. Dr. Moton is to be commended for the part he took in bringing about these meetings, which covered parts of four different States. His frank and fearless utterances in behalf of the needs and aspirations of the race did much to bring about this disposition on the part of the whites to get together in an earnest effort to better existing conditions.
A peculiar phase of these meetings was the fact that in Mississippi several white men and women volunteered their subscriptions to Tim. Act, that they might become better informed as to social conditions.
· WHAT SENATOR HARDING
BELIEVES
When Senator Warren G. Harding accepted the Republican nomination for the Presidency, it was said by one of the correspondents present on that occasion that no one who heard his speech, could have failed to be impressed with the utter earnestness and good intentions of the speaker. The speech was claimed by the Republicans who heard it to be not only an eloquent and thoughtful citation of Republican doctrine, but of the pathways of safe and sound administration in a troublesome era. The candidate's avail of his belief in party government as distinguished from personal government, struck a responsive chord among the party leaders present. The statement that no man is big enough to run that great republic was received with approval.
The restoration of representative public government, under the constitution, was emphasized at the first day of party. In the matter of international relations, the Republican party, he means, to hold the heritage of American nationality impaired and uninformed. The speaker promised national and effective peace so quickly as a Republican Congress can pass its bill for a Republican executive to take. Patriotic production was must open as a defense of our best civilization less than that of armed force. Producing was denounced as a crime of commission. The activities which are aimed to destroy our economic system were described, but the movement is not to be met by thrustled liberals and the candidate. The general policy of the country were outlined in major strikes calling for a new and forward looking program.
Senator Harding expressed his firm belief that the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America. Referring specifically to the Negro citizens of America, he expressed his belief that they should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in bloom on the battlefields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of lattices and justice demands.
Another avowal of the candidate Juliet that will recommend itself to the race was as to law enforcement. On this point he said: "If elected I mean to be a constitutional president, and it is impossible to uphold the constitution, unthinkable to evade the law, when our every committal is to orderly government."
These indications as to policies that Senator Harding may be expected to pursue in the event of his election to the Presidency should secure him the support of all thinking citizens.
William J. Bryan, editor of the Commander and former Secretary of State, passed up another chance to run for the presidency when he declined the nomination of the Prohibition Party. Aaron S. Watkins of Germantown was then nominated. This made the fifth candidate in the field. Besides Senator Harding, for the Republicans, and Governor Cos of Ohio, for the Democrats, there are Perley P. Christenson of Omaha, Neb., on the Farmer Labor ticket and Eugene V. Debs, now in the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., on the Socialist ticket. A sufficient variety to suit many any set of opinions, with a few other parties yet to hear from.

VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Weldon Johnson, Contributing Editor
VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Weldon Johnson, Contributing Editor
VIEWING WITH ALARM.
Archbishop Hayes preached a sermon which he expressed great apprehension, education, religion, literature, amusement. Perhaps with every age and so many texts as the one of preachers of alarm are passed by the world has never attached animals or to their words. Archbishop in that way. Whatever he says, at large, and is listened to with religious denominations in the countryside to us that the eninent Archbishops which do not warrant so proposed Federalization of education for power blinds the advocates—and given right of parents to teach the lament," he said, "at the education from religion."
Hayes is, of course, an advocate of know of nothing in the present education in the United States, so we do not see any encroachment in the Federalization of education would merely insure of children who now get no training.
Not place as much emphasis as the right of parents to teach their children not know what or how to teach are not fit for the job.
Do tendencies in education occur; nearly everything else that New York City calls forth his concern insure he said:

Not these charges can we fully agree to the charge about the daily press daily press not only is filled with it is also filled with lying propaganda on questions of vital concern.
Indictments strike us as being living the shrug of doubt as to what done so. What science has done my God as he is pictured or it really does not take science to uncover any number of disgraceful connection with the naturally unhappy marriages. It cannot be harried wisely or inclined.

Monochromatic tone of the sermon.
The single light garment that I wear upon the head is a small headpiece that covers the ears. No doubt, at the start of the sermon, all the attention was given to the dress that would not be seen. But we do not do the least but better off to have respect for withdrawn and to leave the heart in the heart. The American hope is that we can to well being on the crescent.
Recently Archbishop Hayes preached a sermon at St. Patrick's Cathedral in which he expressed great apprehension over present tendencies in education, religion, literature, amusements, the press, and feminine dress. Perhaps with every age there has come a period of "viewing with alarm," but no such period has had so many preachers and so many texts as the one of to-day.
Many of the preachers of alarm are passed by with little attention because the world has never attached any importance to them as individuals or to their words. Archbishop Hayes cannot be passed over in that way. Whatever he says gets an audience from the public at large, and is listened to with reverence by one of the strongest religious denominations in the country.
But it seems to us that the eninent Archbishop is unduly alarmed over matters which do not warrant so much uneasiness. Denouncing the proposed Federalization of education, he declared that "the passion for power blinds the advocates of such a movement to the God-given right of parents to teach their own offspring." "Sad is the lament," he said, "at the absolute divorce of our system of education from religion."
Archbishop Hayes is, of course, an advocate of parochial schools; but we know of nothing in the present or contemplated laws governing education in the United States which forbid parochial schools, so we do not see any encroachment on the rights to religious instruction in the Federalization of education. "The Federalization of education would merely insure some schooling to a large number of children who now get no training, either religious or secular.
We would not place as much emphasis as the Archbishop on the "God-given right of parents to teach their own offspring." Most parents would not know what or how to teach their children; and some parents are not fit for the job.
But not only do tendencies in education cause Archbishop Hayes misgivings; nearly everything else that passes for life, at least in New York City, calls forth his congratulatory in our outburst of bitter censure he said:
"With science giving the shrug of doubt as to the existence of God, with law courts grinding out divorces ad nuncum, with passing literature that finds it pays to portray characters reckoning in moral shame, with young and old gone mad over the lurid motion film, the drama depraved, with the daily press mirroring the crimes and sins of society, with lamenne dress mocking at decency, with over-deceasing respect for authority, and revocation for the tying of our country, where is the salvation of the youth of our land.
On only one of these charges can we truly agree with the good prelate, and that is the charge about the daily press. He might have said that the daily press not only is filled with the crimes and sin of society, but is also filled with lying propaganda intended to deceive the public on questions of vital concern.
The other indictments strike us as being much overdriven. Science is not giving the slurgh of doubt as to the existence of God, and never has done so. What science has done and still does is to doubt or deny God as he is pictured or defined by most religions. And it really does not take science to do that. They do seem to be an unnecessary number of doctrines, but these must be considered in connection with the naturally large number of unsuccessful and unhappy marriages. It cannot be expressed that everybody will marry wisely or luckily. And it is possible that there are conditions in marriage that are worse than divorce.
Occasionally a book is written that is downright unusual, for which books are very low cost compared with the cost of other period matter. In fact, the millions are not suffiting from costing works, but from reeling the interesting supplies of the same goodly-quality such that is turned out from the press. The same is the case with the small farm pictures. A picture is not the same as being by the movies because of the quality of the pictures and because in too good a condition. The usual basis for good pictures is

Mr. Jack Dempsey heavyweight champion pugnets of the world, in an outburst of certain acts or compunction made the raid statement a few days ago that he would wipe out the color line which he had drawn when he won the champion lap. He went so far as to specify that he would be delighted to fight Mr. Harry Wills, the colored heavyweight, at that gentleman was testimate to win his forthcoming fight with Mr. Fred Fulton, white.
The Wills-Fulton match has been fought and it was won by Wills. The reports of the fight state the Wills outclassed Fulton at every point. He won by a clean knuckle so there can be no two opinions about the decision. Fulton had the advantage of length and weight, six feet four inches, and 210 pounds, to Wills's expert two, and 201 pounds. Champion Dempsey was at the ring-side, an interested spectator. He expressed disappointment at Fulton's defeat, but said, "If the people think I fight to fight Wills I'll be glad to do it, and I'll knock him kicking, too."
The newspapers report that 30,000 people attended the match, and that 10,000 were turned away, this, it is said, is a record for boxing matches in this part of the country. Here again we have evidence of the effectiveness of economic pressure. The promoters have found out that the public interest in "protected" champions cannot be sustained but that boxing fans will pay to see a contest between the best men. This has undoubtedly had more to do with the recent steps taktn to abolish the color line in pugilism than has the spirit of sportsmanship and fairness.
The writer is not particularly interested in prize fights, and would not go across the river to see one, but he contends that so long as there are these contests in physical strength, samina and skill, the colored men in the game should have fair play. It now seems likely that colored boxers will have the chance to get back to the place they so long hold in pugilism; that is, if the advent of Jack Johnson just at this time does not complicate matters.
THE RIGHTS OF THE SMOKING MINISTRY
Those who ride in the busses have no doubt read a notice to all patrons which runs as follows: "Are you in favor of smoking on the upper deck of the busses? Adhering to the company's policy of following the wishes of the majority of its patrons, we request that you write and let us know what your answer is to the above question."
The majority of the patrons of the busses are without question non-smokers. There are the women and children, who outnumber the men. And there are the men who do not smoke. But what about the rights of the minority? Are the men who smoke and are patrons of the busses to have no appeal from a ruthless majority decision that may go against them?
The upper deck of the busses have long offered the only haven for the man who loves his after-breakfast cigar, and who has to make time down town every morning. As soon as he gets up from the table, he lights his cigar and starts out. If he goes to the subway he finds he has to throw away a less than half-smoked cigar. If he smuggles it down in the station to get a few more draws while waiting for an express, he runs the risk of being arrested. He runs the same risk if he takes it aboard the train. On the "L" he encounters the same conditions.
Once upon a time the Third Avenue "L" and the Second Avenue "L" used to carry smoking cars; we don't think they have gone so for a long while. We do not think the Sixth and Ninth Avenue lines ever carried smokers. Several, if not all of the Chicago "L" lines used to carry smoking cars. We think war economy caused them to be discontinued.
At any rate, in New York the only place on city transportation lines for the passenger who smokes is the top of the busses. There in the open air with only the sky above him, he has thought himself safe. Now an attempt is being made to oust him from there. If it is done it will be only through the congenital cussiness of some people who are made miserable by seeing other people enjoying something in which they themselves take no pleasure.

The Soviet Government has not only demonstrated military superiority, but is showing that it is the equal of the other European powers in diplomacy. It beat down the several armed movements in Russia, which were fomented and supported by the Allied Powers, and finally raised the greatest army existing in Europe to-day and showed the Poles to the very brink of disaster. The Allies, seeing Poland's fate and the fate of all Western Europe hanging in the balance, sent out a call to the Soviets to declare an armistice. The Soviet's properly answered back that if Poland wanted an armistice, let her ask for it.
Poland lost no time in a king; she got the request off by wire. The armistice was granted. England immediately proposed that the conference be held in London and that they be between the representatives of the Soviet, Russia, Poland, Finland, Litvia, Lithuania and a few other states. The Soviet Government answered with a counter-proposal that the conference be held in London, but between the representatives of Soviet Russia, Poland and of "the leading powers of the Entente." If the conference is held on these lines, it will amount to a virtual recognition of the Soviet Government by the Allied Powers.
Russia has demonstrated the military power and she is demonstrating the diplomatic sagacity; what will the Enteng Powers do? We believe they will knuckle down and make the best of it.
BATH HOUSE FOR HARLEM.
The action of the Board of Estimate and Appointment is setting aside the sum of £2,500 for the erection of a public bath house in the Harlem section to have opened the coming of the much needed public improvement. The local council is ammonished by a local street between Lafayette and South Street.
The Board of Estimate has contracted for laying down the application for the improvement. His support of the Estimate in the local street is carried out by the President of the Board of Estimate carried out by Alderman carried out by the oppose-ment of the Estimate carried out by the president of the Estimate of the length of which he presides.
WOMEN IN CONVENTION.
One of the first expoitions of the
political party of the late war, was the
treat of amalgamation of seven hundred w-
omen in connection at Lasker institute
college. The expoition was the dur-
ing the convention of the National
Ambassador of the United States. Cl-
osing the treat with 44 delegates the
women in convention.
The only time in the women's
room and education unit that
the institution was set at
hands by this publicity. It was
widely used and fun building assemblage
of women whose methods of produc-
tion were rage and intelligence, as well
as familiarity with parliamentary usage.
It was well organized and machinery
ran smoothly and yet permitted the exer-
cises of individual initiative. The
majority of the delegates came from the
south, but the East and West were
not without able representatives.
As a whole, the personnel of this concession was far superior to the average convention composed wholly of male delegates. There was an earnestness of purpose that nominated the entire gathering, denoting a strong aim toward the betterment of womanhood and the elevation of the race that characterized the proceedings. This was especially to be noted in the interest manifested in such objects as reformatories and improvement centers for girls, cooking clubs and other practical methods of welfare work.
The woman's convention was something for the race to be proud of and to be treated to an international gathering along the same lines. The contribution of Slovak toward the scholarship fund of Tuskegee Institute was a graceful acknowledgment of the generous hospitality extended the delegates and visitors.
THE NEWEST IN SLANG.
Human speech, like other attributes of the race, has its fashions and forbids. A writer in that advanced publication the Nation, recently directed the attention to the newest cycle in slang, which he finds more than usually interesting through the strange mixture of puns and figure which defines it.

contention:

You tell 'em pueface; you've got the crust.
You tell 'em cordovan; my tongue's in my line.

As the invention of these figures of speech are said to require considerable memory it is not felt that the new contribution will be lasting or permanent. The ordinary slang singer will circulate "I'll tell the world" or "You said a mouthful," and let it go at that.
Commenting on the noticeable absence of the Negro from the farm in the rural section of the South, the Southwestern Christian Advocate says: "Cahins are empty, even churches are abandoned, and thousands of acres of fair, fat soil are entouched by the pointed plow." The reason for this state of affairs is stated as follows.
Add to this natural isolation of farm life the meagre wages of the farm laborer and the long working hours he must endure; and in the case of the Negro farm laborer add the shamefully untail treatment by the way of inequitable distribution of farm profits, illegally drawn-up contracts, as illegally entorced; the denial of school advantages for his children; etc.; is it any wonder that there should be such a dearth of labor on the farms of this Southland.
Better wages, better living quarters and decent schools are urged as a remedy for this condition, but above all 'protection against the cata-minteats of the vigilantes and the torch of the mich'. And yet the world wonders why there is a shortage of Sca Island cotton and fails to remember that the Negro labor that produced this staple is being driven from the South.
The growth of Birmingham, Ala., is shown by the fact that in the past forty years, the city has developed from a population of 3,080 to 178,270. The Birmingham Reporter comments on these figures thusly:
The beauty of Birmingham's growth is that the Negro is coming along and reaping its prosperity and forming such a background as will in time be a recognized factor in all of the affairs of the city. What the Negro must continue to do in all this prosperity is to work hard and save his earnings, invest in property and other profitable securities. There is no place better from Birmingham.
home and more offer a good opportunity. Proprietary generals would do well to build property and make other real estate developments when possible.
We are glad to hear such a comprehensive opinion of Birmingham from so competent an authority.
Waycross Georgia, must be a live town, as far as the Negro is concerned. The author of the Supreme Circle News spent a day there and noted the following business enterprises: The, Laboratory Penny Savings and Loan Co. with resources of over $102,000; a coffin and casket company, a burial association, a grocery, a moving picture house and a printer. With these facilities for living or dying, Waycross seems amply able to paddle her own canoe.
The present political campaign body is to dispel the old tradition that newspaper men make poor candidates. With the two principal candidates for the Presidency newspaper men, one of them is likely to be successful. Another journalistic candidate for popular choice in Ohio, is Edhor Harry C. Smith of the Cleveland Gazette, who has been granted the privilege by the courts of having his name placed on the ticket as candidate for Secretary of State.
In his recent travels through the East the editor of the Colorado Statesman noted the conditions and progress of our people in some of the larger cities notably, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia Washington and Baltimore. He found a large increase of Negro business of all kinds, as the great migration from the Southland has been, in most part to these cities. Despite the fact that the Negro laborer is making more money than ever before, Editor Rivers questions whether he has anything to show for it, except a run-down pair of shoes and the memory of a beef steak. He therefore suggests:
"If a tenth even of those Negroes who congregate in the large cities would come West and locate on a tract of government land and raise sheep, hogs and cattle and become producers, instead of all consumers, we might soon get somewhere."
Government lands open to settlement have become scarce and hard to locate, but if Editor Rivers will designate the locations now open to settlers, his advice to come West and become producers might be worth consideration.
Editor Roscoe Dunlee of the Oklahoma City Black Dispatch is a hard hitter in a journalistic scrap, as he shows in his attempt to put out of office the present County Commissioner named Black. An illuminating argument against the retention of this official is presented in the following style:
"Go out for yourself and look at the roads that pass through the Negro districts of the county; then go on until you get to the same road as ti passes through the white district. We will rest our case in your lands when you get back. As in your lands when your axe falls from the stumps and ruts on the side of the communities, remember that the man who is responsible for this awful condition wants your vote and it would be a good idea right then to make your decision as to what you are going to do about it."
The commissioner is also charged with responsibility for keeping the Negro school in a locality inhabited for years by denizens of the under world. Editor Dunjee clinches his argument by saying that anyone who could vote for Black and still desire to see the race advance "is as green as the south side of a gourd in August." We think the editor has proved his case.
Welfare work is being pushed among the employees of the Alabama company according to the Birmingham Reporter. It says:
In the Birmingham district alone we have 22 workers interesting themselves in the welfare of our people in several plants. Most of these workers are scientifically trained and are getting wonderful results in this effort. A visit to the mining fields of the various plants would surprise old settlers who have lived in and around Birmingham for a number of years and have not availed themselves of the opportunity to visit these works and note the wonderful progress made as it regards comforts and protection for employees. The people are taught to look up, keep their premises clean and utilize the space around them in producing vegetables and the necessities for immediate home use.
Commenting on the recent lynchings of two Negroes in Texas, the Houston Daily Post said:
"The strimbing up of these two Negroes who at best were only minor accessories to a crime after the fact, is a disastrous assault upon the law, and brings the name of the community in which it occurred, and the name of the State of Tennessee to the fore. The indication that little or no progress is being made to check the reign of my law, and tends to strengthen the belief that the time is at hand when much more dramatic measures must be adopted, either State or Federal, to cope with this evil situation, by suffragion or lynching. In the case of the Wharton Negrees there was none, and the tragedy was only the result of an outbreak of race prejudice by irresponsible parties. Such acts only fuel to the flames of race antagonism and supply race agitators with new animosity to injure the white race more than the black."
Another reason why lynching should be made a Federal offence, punishable by the United States courts.

In The Realm of Music
By Lester H. White
The young session on Tuesday of the National Association of Negro Musicians was particularly interesting. One of the outstanding features was the Artists' Concert provided over by Mrs. Florence Coke-Talbert. A detailed account will be presented at night a concert program was given by a number of the visiting artists, including Carl Dixon of Philadelphia, pianist, R. E. Hill, Jr. of Philadelphia, violinist, Junius Maxwell of Philadelphia, with Mr. Dixon at piano. Edward Boatman of Boston, harpist, who sang two of R. Nathaniel Duff's Spirituals, with concert piano and Mme. Mary Roussey of Boston, choreographer.
Mr. Duffy was given a tremendous ovation in appreciation for her artistic talent. Mr. Hill and Mr. Dixon gave a new song for violin and piano in C major by a young Philadelphia composer, Mr. Harvey Hebron. The two Duffy songs were particularly attractive and were sung with note and feeling by the young bassist.
The concert music was suggestive of imaginative talent on part of the young composer, an amateur in construction and juvenile in idea. A strain reminiscent of folk Song inspiration occurred at intervals and contributed to its success.
Mr. Maxwell was introduced by Mr. Dixon as a "young professional." I must assert that the distinction drawn as to classes of "professional" accomplishment was a bit beyond me. A singer, making a bid for support on a professional or having a big leg, must be judged simply by the quality of his output. Mr. Maxwell began his aria "Salve Dimora," in English, his encore being Mr. Dixon's, and he sophisticated arrangement of "Swing Low, Sweet Christ." His singing was not particularly distinctive as to vocal quality, although he sang with symphonic comprehension. Interest was attracted by the Dixon spiritual. The interest of this beautiful old spiritual was overcome by the elaborate and artificial singing in which it has been placed by the composer.
Mice Cec Talbert sang two numbers, "Spring Has Come," from Coloridere Takes Hawaii, and the "Pearl of Brazil" orn. The Hawaii number was not up her usual standard, the singer got maximizing the smooth rhythm so necessary for the delightful little song, together with an unfortunate lapse of total accuracy in attack. The "Pearl of Brazil" was there in much better style, and induced violence and prolonged applause from the large audience. Mrs. Talbert is a commemorative artist and no temporary lapse is sufficient to distract from enjoyment of her singing.
Miss Minne Brown of the New York local served felicitously in making amusements assisted by Carl Dilson, and the national and local presidents Henry L. Grant of Washington and David I. Martin of New York made short talks.
New York is giving a cordial wel- lance to the third annual power of the National Association of Negro Ministers. The sessions are held at Philip's P. E. Church, Wellington street, and great interest is being maintained by local as well as were fortunate not to be afflicted with mal de mer.

Lance in receipt of a letter from Rowland Hayes, the race timer, of Boston Mass. who is now in London. England in which he gives me some interesting facts concerning his post expiration and future plans. I have always in this column the story of London recital, with comments from newspaper showing an impression made both by Mr. Hayes and his friend, Alexander B. Brown. On the trip over Mr. Hayes and Mr. Brown were the only colored passengers on the S. Mountains, and their appearance created considerable curiosity among the passengers. They were seated every possible manner and sat by the ship's officers and crew, and
were fortunate not to be afflicted with mal de mer.
His London agents, Bille & Tillett, 19 Hanover square, London W. be found to "be ideal and most fair-minded people," and his first recital took place less than four weeks after his arrival. Says Mr. Hayes.
"Of course I did not have the audience I had at your Acolian 11. there, but the one I did have was most appreciative and enthusiastic to the fullest sense of the word. By the time I had reached my group of Spirituals I had quite forgotten that I was singing to strangers—they had given me such a warm reception. I had not yet seen from the disturbances in my anxiety caused by the war. I was not seasick, but at times I was so disturbed that I thought I might be. Then, too, I had the new climate to get accustomed to."
Some auditions and important engagements are to be filled by Mr. Hayes in the immediate future. He is to sing on August 11 and September 1 at the Winter Garden Bornemouth, England.—a four hours ride from London. In the first engagement he is to sing the area from Verdi's Aida, "Selezione Aida," with a fifty-seven orchestra under the direction of Dr. Bornemouth. He is to sing also with orchestra, "Onaway, Awake, Beloved," from Coleridge-Taylor's "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast." These are considered to be exceptional opportunities for Mr. Hayes and indicates that England has accepted him as an artist of highest rank, since these engagements are only tendered the most distinguished musicians.
There are also to be two appearances by Mr. Hayes with Mr. Brown as his accompanist. It is gratifying to note the unselfish and grateful manner in which Mr. Hayes writes of the work his young companion. Referring to the two forthcoming appearances, he says of Mr. Brown:
"Mr. Brown is creating much attention by his finished accompanying. I have never known him to play so wonderfully well as he did at my initial. We are going to do an adorable thing, from a young man. He is without doubt one of the most musically skilled people of the race and he seems to be made of the stultt brings above unusual results. I have great faith in him and find him to be a young man of sterling qualities and the best habit."
Mr. Hayes' letter goes on to state that he has become thoroughly acclimated and all is going smoothly. He is preparing to begin a series of recitals in the autumn and is hard at work on his programs. Then he touches on a phase of his affairs which is perhaps, of greatest interest to a majority of my readers—his journey into Africa on what he de-mixtures as his "Negro Folk Song Origi. Punt." In this connection he writes as follows:
"During these periods of waiting for things to happen I am not idle but am studying all the while. I am also finding much material here in London which will help me much in the direction of developing my plan of Negro folk song origin hunt. I shall not go into Africa for a while yet I shall thoroughly establish here in England, France and Italy before I start in a decidedly desperate search for the thing they lay closest my heart in way of Native Music. my aim is as well as I am able to establish here and in other parts, the fact that Negro is just as capable of producing art in its now highest civilized form as any other nationality and I expect to do this by the excellence of vocal performances. It shall be so convincing that it shall be admitted, whether they—the people here—wish to admit it or not.
"I want to take this opportunity to express to you the gratification from your expression—through the columns of The Age—of what you have received my efforts there on March 11. It is more encouraging that note you note an improvement in my work, and is an incentive for me to resort to even harder striving that my performance may ever be increasingly effective and
finished.
"Another thing which I want to say is that the knowledge of the fact that all Negro America—as well as much of white America—is holding such good thoughts for me is more three-ling. Their support to me during your time that I have held forth in all the musical communities from Coast to Coast of any importance, is something I daily boast of to all with whom I am perplexed to talk. And I must say that I am most proud of my people and the support given me. " If giving of all I've got in making my life and taking others in the upbringing of great artificially and otherwise will

A Bert Williams' Record
One of the biggest sellers of the records released by the Columbia Phonograph Co. thus far this year has been "It's Your Move Now. If You're Going to Play Checkee!" This record song by Bert Williams in his own imitative work extremely popular. It is published by Leland and Landy which Co. is also "St. Louis Blues" which has been sung by Marion Harris for the Columbia and will be released early in August. "St. Louis Blues," written by W. C. Handy, the originator of the "Blues" style in music composition, has been recorded by every photograph and player roll company. But this is the first vocal rendition of this famous number for which the advance announcements must there is already a tremendous demand on the country. The ber will be on sale by every Columbia dealer.
Pace & Handy Music Co. have two numbers which are decided hits and are growing steadily in popular favor, "Pirananny Rose" and "Everything is Going Up". The former being sung by bymum and the latter by a class concert singers are adding it to their programs for concert use. The records and rolls will soon cleave this number owing to the great demand the public has made for these numbers.

Colored Man With Maryland Academy of Sciences as Custodian-Served Several Years as Acting Curator
Baltimore, Md.-One of the most remarkable colored men in this state is the Rev. John W. Widgeon, custodian of the Maryland Academy of Sciences, an authority, on the flora and fauna of Maryland, and pastor of the First Baptist Church at Fairfield, Md. He celebrated his seventieth birthday on Wednesday, July 28, 1920. First entering the employ of the Maryland Academy of Sciences as a janitor in 1875, he advanced from time to time to higher and more important positions, finally serving for several years as acting curator following the death of Dr. Philip R. Uhler.

Mr. Widgeon had worked with a firm of photographers, and the knowledge gained of photography aided materially in his advancement. He was a student of sciences and the academy officials soon recognized his worth. He took part in many expeditions and specimens gathered by him trained a valuable part of the academy's collection. A notable achievement was the capturing of a whale in the Cheesapeake Bay, which he dissected.
Served as Acting Curator.
The academy ceased functioning and Mr. Widgeman went into the employ of Sharpe & Dohme, manufacturing chemists, where he obtained a working knowledge of chemists. When the academy was reopened Mr. Widgeman came back into its service as custodian, and after Dr. Ulrich died, served as acting curator for several years. He has gone on several scientific expeditions to the West

Among other things Dr. Motson said: "This is our country. One year after the settlement of Jarrett-town came to this country and thirteen years before the Pilgrims landed at Bismouth.

That his address was authentically received was demonstrated by the thunderous applause following. The obituation which he received when he entered the church was unmeasured in this city.
POLITICAL POINTERS
We are tamed with the fact that we do not and cannot elect a Republican ticker in any of the southern states. Why taunt the southern Negro thus for the failure and neglect of the party itself. We say to the Republicans of North Carolina, "We give the Negro the same protection as the polls in casting a free and untraded ballot in the South that is guaranteed in the North, every southern state will reward the Republican party next November by electing a solid delegation in the next Congress and a few governors and senators. - Denver Statesman. They are burning colored people at the polls in the South, and then to death in the North band. Staff President Wilson is engaged in the task of ensuring the people of Europe, while those in this country are still practicing savagery. - Richmond Planet.
Every day since the Republican National Convention adjourned, we have been hearing something about a third party. The wish is evidently father of the drought; for we have not yet seen any evidence of any organized movement calculated to interest enough people to lead dignity to any party—Pittsburgh Courier.
However, it seems after all, the best men were selected to make the pose. Of course they will find a fonder and a better man who can never see beyond their nose, but we believe that getting down to hard work, wise leadership, not over-confidence, will make the G. O. a sure winner at the November election—St. Louis Argus.
Hardin, and Coolidge will soon become household words and they are considered a strong ticket. Of course there are Democrats who will consider it a weak ticket, but they were not named to please Democrats, but to please Republicans and they will measure up to the standard and poll the full Republican vote in November—Louisville American Baptist
Democrats tell Negroes unhastily that they could not take part in their primaries not have any part in the nomination of Democratic candidates for office. They make it plain by word and deed that they are opposed to Negroes having the ballot; they disfranchise our people wherever they can and intimidate them at the polls whenever they deem it necessary. They never lose a chance to humiliate the colored many aems, therefore to unstoppage Negroes who for forget themselves as to vote for Democratic candidates, delight to tighten the cords about their own necks and to voluntarily afflict themselves—Nothville Clarion
The coffered people of Delaware and of the country one general Coleman du Pont an overlasting debt of gratitude for the local and generous support he accorded the men of the race who were fighting against whitenism in the South. In all of the contexts where the colored contestants were fighting against the white South, General du Pont championed their cause. It mattered nothing to him what candidate they favored, all a wanted justice. Washington, advocate
before we must draw such days of new
Eight years experience of trying to
establish a third party should be suffi-
cient to establish harmony and unity.
Senator Harding is the standard bearer
to bring this to pass, and his acceptance
speech should be the beacon light to
dispense the threatening cloud of a third
party—New Jersey Observer.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS
"Three Twins" a Real Broadway Attraction
PROOF as to the colored performer's versatility on the stage is being furnished this week at the Lafayette Theatre, where the Lafayette Players are presenting the musical show—the Three Twins—and doing it in a most commendatory manner. It is indeed quite a step from the legitimate field of dramatic endeavor to the realm of musical comedy, but these young men and women seem to possess sufficient natural ability and adaptiveness to shine in both. They can recite lines, act or sing with equal facility and effectiveness.
There are a number of distinguishing features that would recommend the "Three Twins" to those of discriminating tastes. For instance, no such singing has been heard by a colored company since the days of Williams & Walker. Cole & Johnson and Ernest Hogan. Much credit is due Miss Marie Lucas for the choral effects.
J. Francis Mores is singing like the Mores of ten years ago. His rendition of "Auf Wiedersehn" is one of the gems of the performance and his voice possesses a certain freshness that is very pleasing. And there is Cleo Desmond, who is singing as sweetly as during the days of Desmond & Bailey. My, what a pretty picture she makes in her symphony of white plus big hat!
There is a riot of humor throughout the "Three Twins," the chief offender being Walker Thompson, who always works with abandon and plays his part as if unmindful that he is on the stage. Arthur Simmons and Edward Thompson materially assist Walker Thompson in the laugh-making. Clarence E. Muse, Charles Olden, Inez Clough, and Edina Scottron are pleasing in their respective roles. While Will A. Cooke and Elydia Webb have no lines of any consequence, they score two of the biggest hits in the show—the former in an impromptu dance and the latter by executing a shimmy purged of all ingrressiveness.
The chorus looks good and works better, while the costumes and stage settings keep pace with the general excellence of the production—a musical show which in many respects reminds me of the good old days of a decade ago. The Quality Amusement Corporation has every reason to feel proud of the staging of the "Three Twins." L. A. W.
After a successful run of musical shows the management of the Lafayette company in bringing in a traveling vaudeville company of eight big acts. The opening act is one that will start the show off with a bang and is one of the best novelties done in vaudeville by colored people. Parker Robinson Dog and Pony Circus is the name of the act.
Members of the Lafayette Players will be seen in a strong sketch with situations aptly. Another act that is out of the ordinary will be Martin & Waller's musical company of twelve people, mostly girls in a roaring resue of songs, fun pep. The entire bill will be made up of real artists.
This aggregation of artists come direct from the Dunbar Theatre, Philadelphia, where capacity business has been the rule each performance.
Some first run feature films will be added to the already large hill so that startemites will get a show of quality as well as quantity.
Chapelle and Stinette in a match skit,
wish I would", are heading the bill
the Lincoln all this week. Theirs is
act fresh from a big time current,
is jolly paired with paired
and tuneful melodies. Four other acts,
complete the vaudeville hill.
A picturized version of the famous Broadway play, "The Deep Purple," is now being offered.

Kenney-Marshall Marriage
Rochester, N. Y. - A wedding in which a Greene, N. Y., young man was a principal took place in Rochester on Wrennes evening, July 21, at six o'clock. The contracting parties were, Herman Frankeney, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Mennon, Wrennes of Castle street, Queseney, N. Y., daughter of Mr. Buehlam M. Marshall, daughter of Mr. Aaron M. Freedenk Marshall of 58 Faxor street, Rochester.

At six o'clock the groom preceded by his best man, Mr. Rivers, entered the parlor to the strains of the lathengrin wedding March, played by Mrs. John O. Lee, organist of the A.M. E. Zion Church, and aunt of the groom. Next came the matron of honor, Mrs. Frank H. Davis, wearing her wedding gown of white and carrying pink carnations. Next came, Miss Ethel Marshall, sister of the bride, who wrote a pale blue silk gown, trained with popsicle sticks. Then came the bride, lovely in white beaded depe de chine, carrying a bunch of white bridal roses, learning on her father's arm who gave her a way. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. E. Gorham, pastor of the A.M. E. Zion Church. The ring service was used.
A delicious supper was served. There were seven seated at the bridal table which was attractive with hand made doiles and a huge centerpiece of white and pink sweet peas. Three young ladies friends of the brides served the collation and were very attractive in their dainty gowns of pink and white. The bridal cake was a wonderful creation in the shape of a heart. The bride first did the honors and then all were served. The groom, who has lived in Rochester for the past year or two, was a Geneva High School graduate of the class of 1918. Shortly afterwards he went to Washington to join the Students Training Camp at Howard University, and was soon to embark for France when signing of the armistice took place. The bride, the member of the P. and Lieutenant, of the Uniform Rank and was married in his uniform Later in the evening the bridal party attended the reception and ball held in Convention Hall. At 12 o'clock the bride threw her bouquet from the balcony and their they departed.

THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1980
By "Ted" Hooks, Sporting Editor
(By TED HOOKS.)
Before ten thousand frenzied fans the Bacharach Giants defeated the beast whiskered Irealite House of David team last Monday at Shibe Park, Philadelphia. The House of David team hails from a peculiar religious sect in Benton Harbor, Michigan. They are conspicuous on hall parks owing to their shaven faces and long hair. While Philadelphia keep their hair out of their way by using large gold caps instead of the regulation ball top piece. A mighty crowd was on top see them in action Monday against the mighty Bacharachs, contenders for championship honors among all semi-pro teams.
Bacharachs Break the Ice.
In their customary fashion, the Bacharachs, with Treadwell and Smith holding down the battery work for them, held their opponents scoreless in the first encounter while they set right out to draw first blood when they came to bat. The bearded ball team was held scoreless for three full innings while they in turn played air tight ball and kept the Bacharachs from adding to the one tally gotten in the opening innings. In the fourth the Michigan team wrote a rally which did not cease till they their right fielder, had crossed the plate. The Bacharachs again forged ahead of their opponents when they collected two more runs in the fifth. The Atlantic City team added one more run to their collection in the seventh but managed to keep the lrealals down to two lone tallies in their nine times at bat.
The final store was Bacharachs

Bacharachs Start West.
The Bacharachs have started on a western tour which is expected to take up three full weeks. Thursday and Friday of this week is to be spent in Buffalo where the Pittsburgh Stars are to offer the opposition. From Buffalo the Bacharachs embark for Detroit to try conclusions with Terry Blunt's Detroit Stars for Sunday. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The following Sunday will find the Bacharachs in Chicago opposed to Rube Foster's American Giants. These teams will also meet on Monday and Tuesday of the following week. From Chicago the Bacharachs journey to Indianapolis and play Taylor's A, B, C. team of that town.
Starting home the Bacharachs will be followed by many western clubs including the American Giants and the A, B, C. team of Indianapolis.
Ebbetta Field Again
The last two Sundays in August are to be taken up by the Basharachis in games against the American Grants on Ebbert Field, Brooklyn. Though weeks off, Managers Wilkins and Connor have already been asked for reservations for three games to be played in August. Barties are to be made up in Atlantic City and Philadelphia to journey to the Brooklyn ball field the last two Sundays in August. Full accounts of the Basharachis' Western tour may be had from week to week in East Asia.
Connor Goes With Team.
In order to see that everything goes well with the Batharachs on the western invasion, joint manager Connor will accompany them all the way. Mr. Connor will leave Jimmy Garrett to look out for his business in the East during his absence. Garrett has a host of friends and is a business man of no mean abilities.
We wish the Batharachs luck.
BACHARACHCHCONTINUE THEIR WINNINGSTREAK
Atlantic City, N. J. July 20—The Merchant Ship baseball team, of Brustoni, Pa. put up a stubborn fight against the Barchaches, at Inlet Park yesterday, but lost, due to the wildness of Newman, their moundman, in critical moments, by a score of 4 to 1.
In the first inning Lundy walked advanced to second on Brown's single, went to third when Newman walked Handy and was forced home when Pierce also got a free pass to first. Newman regained control and went good until the third, when he again walked Handy, and Pierce, who scored on Yank's two-bagger. "Stringbeans" Williams slammed out a triple, scoring Yank. When Newman finally disposed of the side, three men had crossed the plate.
For the first five innings "String-beans" Williams had his opponents at his mercy, but in the sixth Hantorock knocked the horsehide over left field fence and made the circuit of the bags. Williams retired the next two batters in summary fashion. Neither team could score for the rest of the game, though Merchant Ship tried hard to start a seventh-inning rally.
Atlantic City N. J. July 21—The fast baserunning of the Bacharach Giants and perfect control exhibited by "Red" Ryan, the local twirler, were the factors in victory over the Merchant Ship Basketball Club, from Bristol, Pa., at Bacharach Park yesterday. Roger, who apposed Ryan on the mound, had good control and kept the Giants guessing in the first two innings, but in the third the Atlantic City team landed on him and put over two runs.
The locals duplicated their performance in the next innning, bringing the score to 4-0. In the fifth the Merchant Ship staged a come-back but

ting in one run. The Giants scored one run in the eight. Ryan had the opposing batters puzed throughout the game, and was given excellent support. TheCHARACHAN infield spulled off no less than two swift double plays during the action of the game. Ryan held the visitors to size by scattered singles, and gave them one base. Heoper gave four bases on balls, and was uped for ten safe binges. This locals ran baves with dash and peep, getting away with some daring attempts.
Atlantic City, N.J. July 22—The crack team representing the Nativity Catholic Club of Philadelphia fell before the irresistible onslaught of the Bacharach Giants at Inlet Park yesterday. Carrigan took the mound for the visiters and pitched good ball for the first three innings. The locals red in the first when Barber stole home when Sharkey threw to catch Lundy stealing second. In the third Nativity bunched hits on Redding and put over two runs. The Giants struck their stride in the fourth and knocked Carrigan all over the lot, scoring four runs. Nativity, had scored one run in their half of the same innings. In the fifth Carrigan was knocked out of the box, and Goodie took his place. The new pitcher got control of the situation and retired the side. When the inning had ended four more runs had been scored for the locals. Redding and Goodies both pitched airtight ball for the rest of the game. Lundy did some sensational base running, stealing your bases. "Jess" Barber, former star of the Hillside Club, made a good impression on third base for Bacharach. Redding slammed a three-bagger and a single.
Atlantic City, N. J. July 23.—The heavy hitting of the Bacharach Giants and Treadwell's wonderful form in the pinches combined to defeat Nativity Catholic Church Club in the second game of the series at Bacharach Park yesterday afternoon. The first three innings were, as closely contested as a world's series game, both pitchers exhibiting perfect control and retiring the batters in one, two, three order. The locals landed on Carrigan in the fourth for a total of two runs. Nativity scored one run in the fifth and duplicated this in their half of the sixth. With the score tied, the Giants started a batting rally and never casped up until four runs had crossed the plate.
A succession of errors followed by another slugger added three to the local's score in the seventh. Nativity tried hard to come from the rear in the eighth, but could only scape one run. The remainder of the game was without incident. Pierce, Pugh and Nolan won applause with sensational catches.
Atlantic City, N. J., July 24—Aberdeen of Chester, Pa., was added to the long list of victims of the irresistible Bacharach Giants when "Stringheans" Williams shut out the leaders in the Delaware Industrial League at Inlet Park yesterday. For seven innings the game was closely equisted, the Giants leading by a margin of three runs, but in the seventh the Atlantic City team O'Marra's delivery and handed him for our runs. Williams kept our hits, hit scattered and had perfect control of the situation at all times. He only allowed five hits and walked two O'Marra. Allowed seven hits, walked eight and hit one batter. Pierre staged a comeback as a slugger connecting with three baggages. Barber won applause when he made a sensational catch in the fifth.
Fall River Line Champions.
Baseball teams representing the S. S. Providence and the S. S. Priscilla of the New England Steamship Company met in a match game on Tuesday, July 21, to decide the championship of the Fall River Line and the possessing of the Priscilla cup.

Homestead Giants, State Champs
Hot Springs, Va.-On last Thursday and Friday, July 22 and 23, the Heated Stead Giants and Charloteville Tigers crossed bats in a two-game series to decide the championship of the state, the Giants taking both games. The score for the first game was 5 to 3, the second 9 to 7.
The first battle was featured by the grand fielding of Carr Wright and Williams of the Giants. Too much cannot be said about the great all-round work of A. J. Pendleton the star back stop and captain of the Giants squad. The second game was a losely played affair. The hitting and base running of the Giants in the third inning was commendable. Jackson, the short stop and real find of the season, put the game on ice for the locals when, in the ninth inning with two Tigers on the path and two down he made a leaping catch of a line drive from the hat of a Tiger which retired the side and brought the series to a close. Great crowds witnessed the contests and the locals satisfied their admirers and followers that they were far the better hall club. Watkins the star base runner of the Giants outfit, is at present going at top speed. Geo. Kyat is playing a wonderful game around the keystone sack, for his club.

ON THE CINDER PATH
(Bv IOHN.)
Horne Second in Novice Race- Engineer's Games Contested on Poor Track.
The twenty-first annual games of Local No. 30, Steam and Operating Engineers were held Sunday afternoon, July 25th, at Celtic Park, L. I. The track, the old stamping ground of the detunet Irish-American A. C. was never in worse condition than that which faced the runners on Sunday. The heavy rain of Friday morning had left pool- or water on the turn and the straightway, near the stands was slushy with mud. Despite the poor condition of the track the officials decided to run Of the games as per schedule and outfit for the 100yd dash for movies. Kennedy wisely elected to run the short dash on the far side of the track which was in much better condition than the home stretch.
After three preliminary heats had been run, however, the chairman of the games committee rushed on the field and demanded that the race he run on the track nearest the grand stand where the spectators might have a better view. The athletes let out a yell of protest, not caring to risk an injury on the slippery field. The crowd yelled its disapproval of the change also, but the stubborn, Irish chairman had his way and the event was finished on the regular course. The winner of the 100-yard dash for those who had never annexed a prize was of Partington of the Mohawk A. C. He was pushed all the way by E. Horne, the colored sprinter who represents the Glencore A. C. Horne captured second prize.
From the running of the men in their heats and semifinals, H Thompson, who formerly represented St. Christopher, now unattached, was looked upon as a sure winner. Thompson ran away to a three yard lead in his heat and beat Horne to this tape in the final. The final, a strong 4th Thompson seemed unable to get "gong" in the early part of the race and let the field get away from him. He came strong at the finish but was given 4th place by the judges.
St. Christopher Appealed to A.A.U. in Anderson Case
Last Thursday afternoon a committee from the St. Christopher Athletic Club, headed by Manager Mitchell, visited the offices of the A. A. U. on behalf of Thomas Anderson, the weight thrower who the Olympic Committee deliberately overlooked in selecting the weight men for the Olympic team.
Despite the fact that Anderson is the superior of three men who were chosen over him, and that the Selection Committee had without doubt done Anderson an injustice, the A. A. U. officials declined to use their power in rectifying the error. No satisfaction whatever was given the St. C. representatives, the A. A. U. body hiding behind the flimsy pretext that the Selection Committee had disbanded and could not be called again in time to review the case.
After expressing their regrets that such an error had happened in Anderson's case, and dismissing the St. L. committee, the Olympic Committee proceeded to select a fourth coach for the team, naming William L. Hayward of the University of Oregon to fill the vacancy on the team.

Now, if it was possible to add a coach to the team at that late date, and a main whose services could easily be dispensed with, why could not the committee have also acted on Anderson's eligibility?
On the fact of the above, added weight is given, the charge that it is a plain case of discrimination at the hands of the A. A. U., which is supposed to represent all that is clean in sports. If the governing body itself is to indulge in such rank practices of discrimination and injustice, what might the colored athletes expect from the lesser lights who acts as officials for the A. A. U. at the different athletic meets from time to time? What incentive will the Negro hoy have to try and
It appeared to those in the stand that he easily had second place.
E. Padmore and R. Bailey of Alpha ran well in the 880 for novices finishing fifth and seventh respectively.
The two Granger brothers, Lloyd and Leo were the honor men in the 1,000 yard handicap, Lloyd starting at scratch and Leo on the 10 yard mark. Neither could get through the bunched field due to the sloppy footing and were content to stride through the race as a warm-up. The backmarkers in the 300-yd. dash were more successful than those in the threepart race. Clarence Sherman and Eddie McConnon of St. Christopher failing to get placed in the heats from short marks.
ATHLETIC JOTS.
The U. S. Army does not worry much about American supremacy in athletics if reports are true concerning the travelling accommodations allotted the members of the Olympiad, team which sailed Monday on the Princess Matoika for Antwerp. The Princess Matoika is a U. S. transport and was used extensively during the big argument. "Nuf sed."
Another come-back attempt was launched at the Engineers games on Sunday when Charlie Hill, the old Alpha and Smart Set sprinter took a fling at the 300 Charlie looks to be in good shape and intends to work hard to regain his former speed.
The fourth member of the running Granger family may be seen in the local meets this summer. Carl Granger who is a student at Dartmouth, under whose colors Dr Randolph Granger scored many notable victories, is being persuaded to don his togs during the vacation period.

The St. Christopher Club was one of the few club clubs to give a donation to the Olympic Fund for defraising expenses of the team. Their strong strength in the past year or two has been no small factor in making the Metropolitan Association of the A. A. U. the most successful and thriving of any association in the country, both from an athletic and financial standpoint. Wherever there is an athletic meet the red and black emblem may be seen supporting it.
Certainly the St. Christopher Club deserves no such treatment as was given it in the case of Tom Anderson and the matter should not be allowed to pass without a fight from the St. Christopher officials.
The men responsible for the act should be shown up before the public, that the future of the colored athletes might in some measure be safeguarded.

At Celtic Park Sunday, E. Padmore of Alpha received an awful gash in his right heel from somebody's spiked shoe during a mixup on one of the turns.
Sparrow Robertson, athletic correspondent of the Evening Sun, is the only sport writer who has mentioned that Edwards, the English runner who beat Brown of Princeton in the English championships recently, is a Negro. Edwards was born in England but lived for some time in Germany, where he competed during the time Alun Cranleen, the American champion hurdler, decaled an ago, was instructor of athletics. Edwards will represent England in the Olympics and is conceded an even chance against America's best in the sprints.
The Negro athlete is gradually beginning to make his presence felt in the old world as well as the new.

The agent has come to light that Tom Carey, a wealthy brick manufacturer, politician and sportsman, is responsible for Jack Johnson's return to America. Mr. Carey is a resident of the Third Ward in Chicago, where there are about 8,000 Negro voters. As a sportsman Mr. Carey owns Hawthorne race track in the Windy City. The millionaire met Jack in Tia Juana a few months ago and the former champion made known his greatest desire to the politician, which was to return to his country without being humiliated and to get a chance at Dempsey.

CLUB TOURNAMENT
Entries are out for the annual tournament of the Chautauqua Tennis Club, the leading organization fostering the racquet game in Philadelphia.
The Philadelphiaians program consists of seven well selected events—Singles, Doubles, Ladies Singles, Ladies Doubles, Mixed Doubles, Junior Singles and Doubles.
The Officers and Executive Committee of this club are to be commended for the business-like way they have gone about advertising their event. Every known tennis player throughout the country has been invited to match his skill with the champions and aspirants. Seg. 7 to 14 inclusive, in quest of the valuable prizes offered by the Chautauqua Tennis Club.
A form letter has been drafted which bespeaks careful preparation by the Slow Town Executive Committee. The popular Philadelphia club has for its president Dr. James T. Howard; Vice president William H. T. Taylor; Secretary and Treasurer, Atton B. Smith. The club captain is George W. Adams.
Many New Yorkers to Go.
New York this year promises to send a dozen or more players over to try for prizes in the Chautauqua Tournament. Miss Rac promises definitely to make the trip and some few other ladies and a host of men are expected to accompany them. Tina Ago would gladly see Mrs. Wade or Mrs. Madison accompany Miss Rac to Philadelphia and the two enter as representatives from New York in Ladies Dubbles. It is doubtful if any two ladies in the country could defeat either team. The Philadelphiaians would be formed a brand of tennis by our female artists such as few men out of the district can produce. Let all New Yorkers able to lift a racquet invade Philadelphia on Aug. 7th
Capt. Ramsey to Play Soon
We are informed that Ramsey will soon be on the courts again and naturally we look for some big things. After a few days practice it is thought the ideal captain of the finals in the Ideal team which ended so abruptly when he was injured a few weeks ago. All players opposing the tall New York kingpin will have a few works advantage in practice on him. This is not expected to be enough to earn them victory, however.

THE NEW YORK, AGE, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1927
By TED HOOKS.
The first tournament for the Julius Bainford trophy in ladies' singles and the popular subscription prize in ladies' doubles, staged under the auspices of the Arrow Tennis Club is well on its way. The first and second, and in some few instances, the third rounds have been played and auditions point to the finals being played on Saturday. Prominent among the list of fair entrants is Miss Rae, National Ladies' Champion, whose entry was refused until Tus New York Age questioned the right of the promoters of the journey to bar her. Miss Rae drew a bye in the first round and won from her first opponent in the second round. One of the upsets of the tournament was the deat administered to Mrs. Crawford by Miss Miline, a newcomer in the realm of championship aspirants.
Mri. Alston Surprises.
Onlookers were given a thrill Monday afternoon when Mrs. Estelle Brooks Alston held Mrs. Lottie Wade to a 6-4 set in their play in the second round, Mrs. Alston at times passed Mrs. Wade cleverly when the latter came up to the pit to volley or smash. There were times, too, when the smaller woman outdrove the clever Mrs. Wade, for which the receiver rounds of applause, Classified, were called. Mrs. Wade soon ceased to take the former Brooks girl cheaply and waded through her, ending the game, score 6-4, 6-1. Some good tennis has been shown by ladies from Williambridge, including Mrs. Samuel Battles, Mrs. Stevenon, Mrs. Lowe and Mrs. Thomas. Harlemettes were surprised at the strength of these ladies' game. The last two were trained in doubles and gave an excellent account of themselves in their match Mrs. Beatrice Moore and Mrs. Lottie Wade, a team which is looked most favourably to come through in the final.
only the ladies' singles narrowed down to the extent that victory seems to lie between Miss Rose and Medaney Matthson, Wade and Norman. Each of these ladies has shown a bit more class in the development of her game than the average. Most of them have been helped by the experience gotten from playing different men players of ability who are not too strongly opposed to playing against women. Some grand raquet handling is surely to be exhibited when any of these stars oppose one another.
B 2 TENNIS CLUB
Entrees are now being received for the annual tournament of the B 2 Tennis Club, San Antonio, Texas. Through this club's secretary we learn that a large list of aspirants are expected to compete in their affairs. Four events are on the bill consisting of Singles, Doubles, Ladies' Singles and Mixed doubles. If the club is well-known it has trained over letters from the Texas Cubs secretary, Miss E. Kison and its president, H. S. Burleson, which now show eagerly the Texans await the coming of Tirr Agr each week to their section of the country.
IDEAL TRIUMPHS
OVER J. B. TAYLOR
The J. B. Taylor Club of Brooklyn met its first defeat of the season last Saturday when it went down before the raucet wielders of the Ideal Tennis Club, who invaded Brooklyn. Many features graced the card despite the confinement of Ramsey, the Ideal captain, to the sick lines due to his recent injury.
The old doubles pair of Jackson and Cooper held up the honor of Brooklyn when they defeated C Clarke and Greedidge of the Ideal after three stubborn sets had been played. Score: 6-2, 5-7, 6-4
Shining stars of the day were young Scaitch and A Stephens, both of whom brought or helped bring two occasions to the club. H Huffman, Ullsosa, Stephens battled down the opposition of Lewis P Williams and H. Petters. The match went to three sets, but the two ideal players pulled it out of the fire, score 7.5, 3.6, 6.0. Teamed with Stephens, Scaitch again emerged victorious when he and his teammate overwhelmed Laurence Hinton and Woods with a 7-0 to 1-0 defeat. Loving in singles,
Other matches of the day were Taylor's, Harvey's with school Taylor who captains the Brooklyn club, who completely outplayed by the Ideal chopstick artist Hargrave's chopstick stroke was at its best and he won bondily even though he recently confined to bed through illness. Hinton, who is with Brooklyn defended the defender of South and Stephen by taking the course of Cobb of Englewood. N. I this year affiliated with the Ideal club 6-2 4-2 6-4. This battle was between former club member, and was the most stubbornly fought of the day.

POSTOFFICE NOTES
ANOTHER CHANCE
It is an old adage that "opportunity comes to no man but once." While this bounds good and may be the common rule, it does not hold true in all instances. Take for example, the men and women employed in the post office who, until the first of this month, earned two and three hundred dollars less than they do now. These employees were advised by THE Aog far in advance of the receipt of their raise, to make plans whereby they could put away a part of their increased earnings for a rainy day. Some of them (we hope most of them) not only made plan, but carried out their plans and have started or added to neat bank account, or invested in enterprise, all of which hope are worthy. As might be expected, few out of the hundreds of our people engaged in this line of work, failed utterly in every way to carry out their plans for the future—neglected putting away even one cent of their extra earned dollars.
Try Again.
These principally are the people to whom we dedicate this little bit of advice. "Try again." We recall an incident of amusement strong of young people gathered in, a dance hall of Harlem. Between dances the conversation was, general and a somewhat settled woman, a woman looked at young married couple in their parity where the banker. We shall never forget the bewilderment of the quizzed pair in their search for a reply. First the young woman looked at the young man she had chosen to be her life-long protector. The latter met her gaze with an embarrassed, helpless stare. Turning to their interrogator, the young man frankly, though quietly informed the settled account, he was a post office clerk—his wife life mate clutched his arm and stood with bowed head.
This scene was too strained, too touching, for us to bear it any further and we moved off in search of further merriment, encouraged by the continuance of the musicians' efforts to please. A lasting impression was made on our minds, however, by these young folks who were probably brought to their senses by a practical welfare worker who carried on her vocation even in a dance hall. All of this happened prior to July 1, since which time that young man who figured in the case has gotten an increase of two or three hundred dollars. We be sure that this little trick and all will be sufficient to make that young couple start their life anew and in the right way. We would encourage all of those who have not already done so to make your start on the first. Put something in a savings bank if it be but one dollar. You will find that the more you save, the more you will be encouraged to save and the larger your pile becomes the more many and womanly you will become. By all means we urge. Try Again.
The "Two Newspaper" Old Men.
One of our new representatives in a station over on the west side of the city near the river informed us of an incident a few days ago, which, we it not for the pathos attached to it, would be laughable. According to our scribe's account, he was told a soldier in his respective station who advised him, "Don't you put my name in your paper." When asked for a reason, this fearer of publicity could simply say he just didn't want his name in there. Our youthful writer admitted being somewhat chagrined at the man who, until that time, had seemed quite intelligent and well-versed in the subject when they were interrupted by a white man who rushed on to them.
ing form in hand, and inquired of the old-timer if he had heard from the third race yet. Sheepishly, the old-timer explained that he did not. He noted the old-timer's embarrassment, our scribe reports walking away, but with a thorough understanding of, why the older employee did not want his name in The Act. The Act does not print racing news. There's no fool-like an old fool!
City Hall Station.
The clerks of this station feel keenly the loss of T. H. through his recent transfer to Foreign Station. The girls take the loss very hard—especially "Cleo." Rev. Green of the N. Y. table is back from his vacation. Like most reverend gentlemen, "Iloe" Lace is very fond of the ladies. The that wave (or some other wave) seems to have greatly affected Sergent Jackson. "Sarge" has been absent from duty for the past few days. The "Confirmed Bachelors" are airing the story that some few married men have failed to tell the "folks at home" of the recent salary increase. Herbert Ragdale made 96.40 on the Pa. scheme in a recent examination. This sends Herbie's salary up 100 rocks more on October 1st. He has resolved the "Confirmed Bachelors" have resolved to remain ever simple because they cannot find any one who is willing to go 50-50 with the work as well as with the spending.
The New York table is a hot bed for "two newspaper" boys (Morning Telegraph and Evening Mail, final racing edition). Now is the time for Rev Green to do some constructive work here, perhaps in Captain still the most popular man in the letter division Sergt. Jack runs a close second and smiling Tim Brown is contending for third honors.
