VOLUME VII. A Graphic Description of a Trial in the White South —No Justice for the Negro To Mr. J. H. Croft, Weir City, and others interested in knowing the facts of the condition of the much abused Negro, I will again give a statement of facts. It was in the month of February, 1904 that the writer went to the village of Hermanville. It was a Sunday morning. The sun arose clear and gave to all creation joy and gladness, save Robert —. Friday night previous a supposed robbery was committed in a store and the guilt was placed on Robert, who at the time of the alleged crime, enjoying himself in a game of craps with his fellows. Next day, Saturday, the alarm was given the store of Mr. —. was entered into by robbers and much cash was taken from the drawer. Search begun, no one could be found in the community who had committed the robbery, (though the robber was constantly in sight.) After vainly searching for the robber, it was rumored that Robert was out of town, and had left for Jackson, Miss. early Saturday morning. It was Robert's custom to go somewhere on Saturday to hunt up a game with the boys. So he went, and early Sunday morning he was caught down the road between Jackson and Hermanville, Miss., and handcuffed by the sheriff. The news was telephoned to Hermanville of the capture. Quickly rumors went to and fro notifying the people of the coming of the sheriff with Robert, for Bob was known far and wide. As I alighted from the train, presently I saw a black man handcuffed by the side of the sheriff, surrounded by human hyenas ready at a moment's notice to satiate their bloody desire. As the crime for which Robert was apprehended was not very grievous, the law was permitted to take its course. About 9:30 that Sunday morning, while all the people were on their way to church, Robert was released from the handcuffs and chains were fastened to his legs and he was tied to the gallery of the store where the alleged robbery was committed, to be gazed at by the community. All night long, till night, Robert was the target of the community. Little children, colored and white, would gaze and jeer at Robert; old men and women would come near him and torture him with questions. Some would say to him, "Nigger, we got you, and will send you to the farm." Robert, like all other Negroes, had a horror of the county farms." Night came and found Robert in the clutches of his enemies; for no one was permitted to bond him. His old mother offered her home and what she had as bond for his appearance, and the law would not grant her her son that Sunday night. For Robert washer baby boy. With true Indian instinct she bore with patience her sufferings. Stilled chained, night found Robert two miles from the village in charge of a deputy sheriff. All night long chained to the gallery post of his ward, he anxiously awaited the coming of the moon; for it brought relief to the innocent soul. Monday morning came, a d the hour of nine, set for trial, came. The judge with his grim look and book under his arm walked about and announced, that the trial, would take place at 2:80 p.m. under the tree near the hall. Many who had come to town for the trial sight at the lateness of the trial, for the late and for how the apelure stood, no one in the world who TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER. 6. 1905. had robbed the store, believed Robert guilty of the crime. Promptly at 2.30 the judge ordered the culpait brought under the tree and then called all concerned. Two black boys who had been arrested as accomplices were brought in from the county farm by the lessee of the farm, and a woman witness—three witnesses for the state. Robert had five witnesses. The trial was called and the indictment was read as follows: "Robert, you are charged with highway robbery. Are you guilty or not guilty? The answer was audibly, "No." The justice of the peace, sheriff, constable, owner of the store clerk and every white man acted as prosecuting attorney; Robert, feeling confident that he could prove an alibi, would not employ an attorney. The judge called for the witnesses by and the three state's witnesses knew nothing of Robert's whereabouts the night of the supposed robbery. After the trumped up witnesses had failed to make a case for the prosecution, then every white man was permitted to question the defenseless, chained culprit. Then came Robert's chance at an alibi. The five witnesses that were called in his defense stated clearly that at the hour the robbery was said to have been committed Robert was playing dice back of the store, and the amount of money lost by each was revealed. The hour of the robbery was supposed to have been about 9.30, and from eight to twelve o'clock Robert and his companions were gambling. So completely demoralized were the accusers of Robert after the witnesses for the defense had testified, that all eyes began to look in the direction of the clerk of the store, who raised the alarm. The real culprit was at the trial. He looked guilty after Robert had proved an alibh. He was a white man, and Robert was black. The trial being over, all awaited for the decision of the judge. It was rumored by the intelligent classes that Robert was not guilty. The plot had been laid beforehand. Gulty or not guilty, Robert had to be sent to the farm. They wanted him out of the way, for Robert was not the kind of a Negro that would work for the storekeepers about the village for nothing. After the trial the judge could not render a decision squarely with the evidence submitted. There was not sufficient proof that Robert had committed "highway robbery." So the judge, shenff, constable, clerk and other white men left the court for a while, and went around the hall one hundred yards from the trial place, and consulted what to do with the Negro The judge and his advisers came back and said to Robert. "Well, Robert, I have decided not to send you to the farm for highway robbery. I will give you six months and send you to the county farm for misdemeanor. Thus ended one of the unfair trials of Mississippi. Thousands of innocent colored men are daily sent to the chain gang on filmay pretenses. There is no conception of the cruelties imposed upon the colored people in remote sections of Mississippi. I was an eye witness to the injustice imposed upon Robert and powerless to grant him help, save to notify his brother, principal of a city school a few miles distant. To read of the South giving justice to the Negro is all deception. Abject slavery exists. The same powers that crushed slavery in 1863 will again crush the present system. Slavery was destroyed by the power of blood and money, likewise the present condition confronting the Negro Robert, though a pretty gambler like most young men, both white and black, is of respectable parent age. Hermanville is a town in Claiborne county, Miss., southeast of Port Gibson, the county seat. PROF. W. H. COUNCIL IS CRINGING COWARD! Southern Negro Educator Praises the White South for Brutal, Inhuman Treatment of the Negro—Sacrificing the Race for Gold. COUNCIL LAUDS THE SOUTH. The following are extracts from a letter received by the governor of Alabama from W. H. Council, president of the Negro school at Normal, in which he pleads for the people of the south to believe that Booker T. Washington meant no harm to the customs and ideas of the south, and that he nor any other Negro, in any sense a leader, desired social equality: A CRINGING COWARD. In the article which appeared in the South Carolina Churchman, Sept. 14, W. H. Council defends Washington. A purpose to give the extracts of the letter sent to the governor of Alabama by one, W. H. Council, president of a Negro school located at Montgomery, Ala. From what we acquire from the subject and what he intended, it "Nomal, Ala.—His Excellency, Hon. W. D. Jelks, governor of Alabama, Montgomery, Ala.—Sir: My anxiety for the welfare of my people, growing out of the press comments on what is known as the Wanamaker-Washington affair, forces me to address you this letter. Nothing has occurred since the war of 1860 which has done as much to discourage me as the comments of the public print in regard to this affair. I confess that many of us immediately after the war had erroneous conceptions of the meaning of freedom, but we have long since learned that freedom means honesty, hard work, frugality and eternal social celebration of the races. This matter has been unalterably fixed in the minds of men of thought in the race. We thoroughly understand that disapproval and death must inevitably follow any other position, as lynching, by rope, lead and fire, have shown. "In the fear of God, I affirm that the Negro race does not desire, does not seek and never expects to see social intermingling between the races in the country. But your fathers taught us to look above and try to make the most of ourselves in this world. This was taught from the Ohio river to the gulf, from the Atlantic ocean to Texas, and ever since the war the best white people of the south have taught us to press forward and make the most we could of ourselves. This accounts for the progress which we have made since emancipation, and which, under God's providence, and your good will and help, we expect to continue to make; thus, placing garlands of story upon the graves of your fathers, and stars in your crown which will increase in brilliancy as the years roll by and fall into the lap of eternity. Notwithstanding the improviidence and crime in the race, especially since the war, we have added millions to the wealth of the Negro in his own right, and billions to the riches of the white south. Regardless of drawbacks and discontagements the work begun by your forefathers will be carried on, and right under your protection, the Negro will continue to develop into approved great usefulness to himself and the white south. In all humbleness and in all candor and sincerity, I beg to state that Booker T. Washington, although committing an act against which the south is unalterably set, and God knows that which the Negroes of Alabama do not wish, I believe he did not intend any insult to the south, or any violation of its time-honored customs, or to create false hopes in the Negroes. Having no special love or admiration for Booker T. Washington, and without consulting either his friend or foe, I voluntarily make this statement, as I believe it is just and true, and I pray that it will be taken in the same spirit in which it is offered. A CRINGING COWARD. In the article which appeared in the South Carolina Churchman, Sept. 14, W. H. Council defends Washington. A purpose to give the extracts of the letter sent to the governor of Alabama by one, W. H. Council, president of a Negro school located at Montgomery, Ala. From what we acquire from the subject and what he intended, it sounds as if it came from a low beging serf who has no manhood or inclination to defend the rights and liberties of the people, and at the same time he tries to make it appear that he is a leader of some people. He may be, but not of that progressive class of colored people, who want to be recognized and are going to be recognized as American citizens, not only by colored people but by every other nationality living in Alabama or Kansas If Mr. Council thinks that he can compromise the manhood of the colored people by admitting to Governor Jelks, that the white race is superior to other races and that they are bound to rule, and if they are trying to make others go by this because they are white, he is badly mistaken. The idea of a low human being who claims to be possessed of all the qualities that go to make up true manhood, begging the governor of Alabama and the white people for recognition and protection and that they are in the hands of that class is an unqualified lie. The idea of a man who claims to be possessed of intelligence as this man, Council says he is, to make such a statement is more than we can account for unless it be that he is such a coward and has hottered all his manhood to that class of white men like Jelks, who has robbed Council for more than three centuries, that which they had no right to do and are doing the very same thing today, that Council and ilk stands for, they two without a protest. All decent Southern people should recognize and feel elated because a distinguished educator like Prof. Rooker T. Washington was invited to dine with a Christian and educated family like Wanamaker, who recognized ability and not color. The entire South should feel elated and congratulate themselves that one of their distinguished sons had the honor of escorting a beautiful, refined, cultured lady without prejudice to the dinner table. The great thinking people of America would ten times rather doff their hats to Prof. Booker T. Washington for this act than to even think of the damnable outrages that the white people of the South are propagating upon colored women at this time, Alabama not excepted. We would like to know which is the most respectful for a colored gentleman to escort a white lady into a dining room or an Alabama white man slipping around at night time making love for colored women, and then growing children and support their own with colored mothers! Now, if this class take exceptions of Prof. Washington in a resistable way of educating himself a gentleman before the public, is more than we can understand, and to have this Mr. Council begging that class of outlaws for mercy. Council lies unmercifully when he speaks of the freedman an inferior of the races. If we understand anything about freedom at all it means that a person should have the right to think for themselves as long as they do not overstep the beings of propriety. A man has the right to sleep at home and he can choose whom he pleases for his company. If colored men and white women so like each other that they want to live as one, they should have the right to doso. Such troublesomeness as these made by Council is a pure disgrace of human liberty. Lincoln, Brown and Summerlay down their lives for freedom, but it is not the freedom that Council speaks of. The w ite man has mixed with with the colored race when he knows they have that freedom which any one should have. Now, for an ingrete like Council who is nothing but a stumbling block to the progress of the Negro to dispense of the method named in his now mean lynching and other damnably outrages. If the mixing of the races will begin from the colored man, that is, an abstinence what is meant as the mixing is already going on from the white man's side. We think that in the assertion that he feared God and that the Negroes do not desire to seek and never expect to see mingling between the races. This is a 'lie' out of whole cloth. There is no man or woman who doesn't admire beauty, refinement and culture, whether it be an Indian, Chinaman, Negro or white person. The races are mixing as fast as possible. We know hundreds of instances by both colored men and women, who by their complexion cannot be told to what race they boiling and are fast marrying into the whites; so if Mr. Council and the governor of Alabama and those Southern Negro haters, do not soon wake up, the whole South will soon be married into the Negro race. Emalgamation of races is coming at a rapid rate. Now in reference to his severity by saying that the Negroes of Alabama, do not intend to insult the South. This statement is enough to forever bar him from being considered an educator in any standing, where freedom and manhood should be instructed. The idea of saying that the Negroes of Alabama do not intend to insult the South is enough to make a 'mule laugh.' If the riding in a coach or being in a dining room is to be taken as an insult, let it be. We do not know that portion of the United States where people have no reverence for the respect of law and the rights of people who how in submission to a few white rebels and hypocrites, who don't think Negroes are no more or less than cattle. This was settled in 1861 and 1865, and we therefore know no difference in people who respect themselves and others. The sooner that class of Negroes who beg for mercy from that class of white people who consider him no more or less than a brute, and that class of white people who think that the Negro has no right which he is bound to respect, will learn to abide by the results of the war between the states, the better it will be for all concerned. The trouble with the South to day is that such Negroes as Council are doing not only harm to the colored race, but also to the whites by accepting whatever is heaped upon them whether it be good or bad by that class of white people in the South are building a lake of fire under them by continuing to heap up trouble and outrages upon people who they think will forever stand and submit to such treatment. The Negroes will revolt one of these days and we'll be into what is now called, "The White South." but we haven't any respect for a Negro or a white person who teaches the inferiority of one race, and the superiority of the other and with an understanding that this is to continue. Out of one blood God created mankind says the scripture, and if this is true and we are well founded on the Bible and shall continue to live so, with the express understanding that no man, white, black or red, shall have any superior standing for say, in this world, as to liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness, however, without a protest. NUMBER 39. The Sanctimonious Editor of a Negro "Weakly"Has Been Seen—Quits Like a Cur. Paul of Tarsus and Paul of Topeka don't seem to connect. When Paul of Tarsus went down to Damascus to slay the Christians, he went with the avowed intention of destroying those who opposed his customs and way of serving the Lord, and fortunately, he was shown the error of his way shortly before entering the Christian country by a voice from the Saviour saying, "Paul, why persecuth thou me," and Paul answered saying, "Lord, what will thou have me to do?" The Saviour answered saying, "Go preach the religion of Jesus Christ and him crucified!" He did so, and became one of the greatest dicibles of Christ. Paul of Topeka, who took unto himself the Watchman to slay Gov. Hoch and the Legislature for passing and signing a Jim Crow school law, great was his pretensions until he met Gov. Hoch at the Santa Fe depot a few days ago and journeyed to Oskaloosa with him. The Governor said, "Paul, why sightith thou me?" Paul answered: "Governor, what doesest thou want me to do?" "Paul," said the Governor, "take this mess of pottage, and go print that I am one of the greatest friends the colored people ever had. Say that I believe in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, that I did not sign that Jim Crow law to hurt the colored people, but to help the whites." Paul did the Governor's bidding and today he is the most hated and despised man among both races in all Kansas. Paul of Tarsus had better sense, Paul of Topeka did not have manhood enough to refuse the Judas Isacarriot price for his race and the rights of his children when appoached by Hoch. NICK CHILES. Not a White Man's Country. The National Afro-American Association held their annual convention in Detroit, Michigan, the past week, a number of the most prominent Negroes of the country were present, and the session extended over three days. Reports on various phrases of the race question were made by bureaus which have been investigating them during the past year, and papers on the race question and the condition and future of the Negro in the south were read by prominent Negroes. A report was adopted presenting an address to the people of the United States. The address, in part was as follows: "The National Afro-American Press Association feels that in the present crisis in the history of the American people where a thoroughly organised movement is working with nalignant energy to destroy utterly the political and civil rights of those for whom we stand as spokesmen, it is necessary to realise and emasize principles fundamental to citizenship and generally championed by all Afro-American powers. We present the reiterated statement that this is a white man's country, for the federal constitution specifically places all of its citizens on an equality before the law. We will be satisfied with nothing than what is guaranteed by the constitution. ae “ee * ee Tee SEY ee eee” Cm * ners Ee eee x .

"Battlesnake Pete," one of the biggest bores fighters in Parsons, was in the city last week urging the governor to stop the sale of liquor in drug stores in that city. We see in the Christian Index where Rev. T. J. Moppins of Kansas City, is a member of the Governor's Council of Kansas, and that "there are only three colored members of the council." The council of Kansas is composed of the governor, secretary of state, attorney general, treasurer, auditor and superintendent of public instruction. This constitutes the executive council which transacts the business of the state and meets monthly. No one of the above mentioned officers is colored and there has not been a colored man elected to office in the state since the days of Hon. E. P. McCabe, and we fail to see how this brother could become a member of said council. The Index has been badly misinformed, and for the benefit of the public we do not want it understood that Kansas has a colored man holding an elective office when there is not. This answers the inquiry sent to this office relative to this matter. It seems that Rev. Moppins has been holding forth some where in the South, and from the drift of the article it appears that he has been trying to make himself a much larger man than God or nature created him in the eyes of his southern brethren, and they were delighted to greet such an honored man. But we hope this report is not true, but whoever put out the same, whether Rev. Moppins or not, is certainly the king of liars, and deserves a medal. Why would a same person put out such a report? Rev. Moppins has undoubtedly seen the report in the Index and unless he gave out this news(?) he should have corrected it immediately. We hope this will set things right, but if Rev. Moppins is guilty of putting circulation such in uncalled for, absurd and ridiculous lie he should be ousted from the ministry, thus giving him an opportunity to join hands and associate with his class. Negroes Can't Have White Wives! Mississippi has again shown to the world that it has the poison of the adder. Recently a white woman was sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years for marrying a Negro. A dispatch from Magnolia, Miss Sept. 2 is as follows: "Bessie Perkins, a white woman, was sentenced yesterday to ten years in the penitentiary for marrying and living with a Negro named Robert Brown. Judge Wilkinson in passing sentence said he regretted that he could make the punishment no heavier. The woman declared that she did not know Brown was a Negro. Brown has left the country." It is indeed a crime in the sight of the Mississippi whites for a white woman to live with a Negro man, legally married according to the laws of the land, but for a white man to live illegally with conubines contrary to both the laws of God and man is a superior virtue, condoned by the white women of the South. Judge Wilkinson should charge the jury to bring before him all white men in Magnolia, and surrounding The Western Tuskegee, Normal, Preparatory, Industrial, Agricultural, Business, Music, Elocution and Dramatic Art.

W. F. H. United States Minister to Haiti soon to resign. The truth of rumors cannot be definitely lea at Washington. Should Mr. I decide to leave the post which has filled so creditably under administrations, the question successor suggests itself at The world would think, if it was not otherwise informed that Mississippi is desirous of ridding herself of the spirit of amalgamation. We venture the assertion that there are white men in Mississippi who would rather forsake their wives and children than be separated from their Negro concubines. We know of a case in Greenville where a justice of the peace did forsake his wife and children for the love he bore a Negro prostitute, and his name is Harry Smith. We know of many others who are equally guilty of the crime for which the white woman was sentenced to penal servitude for ten years. Is there justice in Mississippi for the Negro? If there be, we hope the sentenco imposed for the crime mentioned is but the beginning of better days for the poor, defenseless Negro homes in the South, too often ravished by the intrusion of white men. We know of hundreds of homes in Mississippi where the life of the home has been destroyed with impunity. If there be a state desomed to hell for such crimes, Mississippi is. Ravished Negro womanhood is crying to God for succor. Negro homes insulted and ravished pray for a better day. Go on, Judge Walkerson, and purify yourself and the rest of your kind, and fill the penitentiary with the white men who cry "nigger, nigger," in the day, and at night like vultures seek the companionship of Negro women. O' Shade of consistency' To the governor of Mississippi, the judges and representatives and all white men of Mississippi and the entire South, we respectfully submit to you for recommendation and indorsement the following prepared bill for the immediate consideration of the next legislature: Be it enacted by the general assembly of the state of Mississippi: Sec. 1.

In reply to the petition signed "Some Old Students" relative to the removal of the picture of Prof. Inman E. Page from the auditorium of the main building of Lincoln Institute, to the study hall of same building. I wish to say that to my mind, the petition was in no wise a credit to those who wrote it. To accomplish a given aim rational methods must be persued. That petition should have been signed by the writers. Since reading the petition, I wrote President Allen of Lincoln Institute, asking information concerning the removal of the picture in question. His reply: "No one here now had anything to do with the picture mentioned by you. I have been informed that one of my predecessors moved it and that there was no sinister move behind it either. Since I have been at the head of the school, I have not moved it." I was a member of the committee appointed by the Exoelsior Literary Society to purchase this picture of President Page and the committee selected Mr. Ollie Brooks, a student of Lincoln to make the picture. The picture was delivered and placed on the walls of the Page Auditorium. This picture should be hung in its original place, but there is a proper way to have it done. I am quite positive that should any members of the committee that purchased the picture in question, write President Allen that it is the sense of those students and graduates who were the donors of this picture, to have it placed on the walls of the Page Auditorium, he would comply with that request. Unjust agitation will never bear good results and I think the alumni and former students should rally to the support of Lincoln Institute. L. M. Penwell, Undertaker. First-class in every particular.

When compared with larger institutions in the South, the facilities of Lincoln are second to none and if the management of the school is accorded its dessewell support, in the next few years Lincoln Institute will be in a class to herself. Those of us who graduated when Prof. Page was the chief executive, all cheerish his memory, and the writer is among those who think he (Page) has few peers, but since he is in another field of labor building another lasting monument for himself, let us not relinguish our loyalty to Lincoln, but give his successor our hearty support and remember that there is a worthy successor to every man, who occupies or who has occupied a public position. Feeling that the picture will be placed in the Page Auditorium, I again ask those who are interested in their "alma mater" to increase their interest by giving their support and not be the sowers of discord. A.C.Brisco, D.D.S.,'98, Topeka, Kan. Special From the Wash- ington News Syndicate. Considerable interest attaches to the continued rumors and repeated denials that Hon. W. F. Powell, United States Minister to Hayti, is soon to resign. The truth of these rumors cannot be definitely learned at Washington. Should Mr. Powell decide to leave the post which he has filled so creditably under two administrations, the question of his successor suggests itself at once. If the course pursued in the appointment of the minister to San Domingo be followed, a white man would fill the place. It is alleged (whether truthfully or not) that San Domingo asked for a white man at that time, but much alleged reason will not serve in this instance for. Hayti not only is content, but prefers that a colored man be accredited to her. There is an abundance of capable material in the race and numerous applications are now on file for the Haytian post. In considering this prospective vacancy it is fortunate that the administration inclined to promote worthy men from within the diplomatic and consular service rather to appoint from without. Should Mr. Powell's post at any time become vacant it is natural to expect that a colored man would succeed him, and it might be well to focus the strength of the race on a worthy man already in the service. Among those who have been mentioned Dr. L. W. Livingston seems to have the advantage, having served as consul at Port Haytian for about seven years. He is on friendly terms with the President of HaytI and enjoys the confidence of the American who have interests in the Republic. ○○○ The regular session of Howard University began September 20th. President John Gordon, against whom there has recently been so much opposition, made the opening address which was listened to with outany demonstration. There are a large number of new entries, and this is encouraging in view of the dissatisfaction attending the President's past administration. The colored people of this country love Howard Uqivessity, her gallant and illustrious founder, and her grand and glorious traditions, and notwithstanding the feeling that has been displayed against the present head of the institution, they continue to send their boys and girl's to this school, at the same time praying that the board appointed to investigate the institution will relieve the university of its burden. The board has not yet begun its work as Dr. Galludet, its chairman, is now in Europe and no action is expected until he returns, about the 15th of October. The faculty has undergone a few changes and several new instructors have been added The "Charities," a weekly magazine published by the Charactis Society of New York, will contain a special article on Negroes in Northern cibies in an issue which will appear early in October. The appearance or this magazine is looked forward to with keen anticipation. Interest heretofore has centered on the condition of the colored man in the South and little or no attention has been paid to his status in the North, and it is concerning the general tendency to migrate to the North, the part he played in the municipal government of Northern cities in which he lives, the kind of houses occupied, the streets inhabited, lodges, schools, churches, and other important questions relative to the situation of the people in the North, that this special article will discuss elaborately $ \mathrm{O O}_{2} $ The Bethel Literary and Historical Society, probably the best known and most cultured literary organization among colored people in this country, will reopen for the season of 1905-'06, Tuesday evening, October 3, in the auditorium of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. The opening of the society is always an important event in literary circles. Dr Norman, formerly instructor of Theology at Shaw University, now pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church of this city, will address the opening session. Dr. Nor an is a man of letters and an orator of ability. 000 Hon. Judson W Lyons, Register of the United States Treasury, was ovator of the day at Tri-State Emancipation Celebration at Huntington, W Va, Friday, September 22. His address on Emancipation was enthusiastically received by a tremendous audience composed of citizens from Kentuckey, Ohio, and West Virginia. After a very creditable industrial paradad and the address of Mr. Lyons and others, the celebration was brought to a close by an enjoyable banquet in the evening. 000 Detective Sergeant Lacy, a well known member of the detective force and the only colored man in the service in the city, was suspended September 25 pending investigation of charges preferred. vOo Mr. George W. Ellis, Secretary of the Legation at Monrovia, Liberia, is now on a visit to this country. He arrived in Washington, September 26th and will shortly give out atatatement to the Syndicate in regard to conditions in the Liberian Republic. 00 Miss Cora Hawkins of Chicago, Illinois, has been appointed to a positions in the department of agriculture.

Never in bulk. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind JULE8 LUMBARD From Grand Army Revilla. Five thousand men were crowded into the old courthouse square in Chicago on a summer's afternoon in 1862. From a platform in the square a man was speaking, his discourse filled with the fire and eloquence of patriotism. He was urging the men before him to enlist for the war, and the excitement of the multitude was at fever heat. As he talked, a man in his prime, big, erect, handsome, pushed his way toward the platform. As he started up the steps, George F. Root handed him a piece of paper. Words and music were written on the paper, and the ink was not yet dry. "Sing it!" cried Root, eagerly. "Sing it! It is just written." "I will," responded the stalwart young man as he elbowed himself to the front. The speaker finished and the young man stepped into his place. He glanced at the simple words and music of the song, then flinging aside his hat and tossing back his luxuriant hair sang in powerful and resonant tones. "The Battle Cry of Freedom." When he concluded the chorus he raised his hands and cried, "Now everybody sing the chorus," and led by him 5,000 voices were raised in mighty melody: "For we'll rally around the flag, boys, "We'll rally once again, "Shouting the battle cry of freedom." That day a new patriotic song was born. That night the recruiting station was full to overflowing. George F. Root, author, and Jules Lumbard, singer, were National characters. In the Coliseum at Chicago, more than a quarter of a century later, a vast throng was gathered. It was the occasion of the Root memorial services. The songs which had come from the pen of the man—songs which had inspired the souls of marching thousands—had been sung, all the songs save one, and the people wondered why the "Battle Cry of Freedom" had been omitted from the program. Then a man of giant stature stepped forward with the elastic head of a soldier, but the great head of shaggy hair was silvery. Suddenly he began to sing, and a voice which contained all the power and resonance of 1862 gave forth the old song. "For well rally round the flag, boys," began the chorus, but the great voice of the old singer was drowned in the answering shout as men, women and children sprang to their feet and joined him. Over and over again was the chorus repeated and then the great building shook with applause as the old man stood and bowed before the tumult of an ovation which would have made glad the heart of a king. It was Jules Lumbard singing the song of a friend in memory of him who had written it. And then a bush fell upon the assemblage, for the white-haired singer began "Just Before the Battle, Mother," and tears came into the eyes of men who recalled the days in '62 when Jules Lumbard had sang the same song. They went back in memory to the times when the old man had led the singing in the old wigwam when Lincoln was nominated for the presidency; they recalled the voice that inspired young men to don the blue, the voice that translated the arguments of patriotic orators into music; they remembered the man in the midat of vast throngs of other men stirring them with this melody and they could not forget that day when this same singer stood at the bier of the emancipator and sang his requiem. In Omaha, Neb., there is soon to be a primary election. For twenty years Jules Lumbard has been a resident of that city. There, as in Chicago, he has sung himself into the hearts of the people. He has sung at banquets and the diners have enclosed "Maggie" and "The Low-Backed Chair." He has sung at Trinity Cathedral and adorned the solemnity of the service. He has sung at the funerals of the loved ones of his friends. His art has never been his vocation. Great hearted, generous, a gentleman of the old school, he has given away his music and used his voice to make the world better. And because of all this a considerable number of the people of Omaha have concluded that he is eminently fitted to serve them as their magistrate. At the primary election the Democrats of Omaha propose to nominate Jules Lumbard for police judge. Republicans and independents in large numbers say that the nominating formality will be all that is required to make his election unanimous because Jules Lumbard's friends comprise almost the entire electorate and that no politician would have the hardihood to contest with him for the place. Jules Lumbard was born at Honneyoose Falls, N. Y., April 18, 1830. When n had he was printer's devil on the Ashtabula Sentinel, the organ of that fearless partisan, Joshua R. Giddings. But he had begun to sing before that, and in the days when he worked in the shop of the old abolitionist he would sing street songs to his associates. He was 7 years old when he took his first singing lessons. He was living with a married sister at Jackson, Mich., and walked three miles barefooted to singing school. He practiced his scales as he drove the cows from pasture. When he was apprenticed as a printer his first year's salary was $40; the next year he received $55 and the third $75. When his time was up he was $20 in debt and worked at a case in the Sentinel office until he paid the money. The first telegraph line from Buffalo to Detroit was during Lumbard's last year in Ashtabula and the office adjoining the Sentinel building. The boy printer and the telegrapher became warm friends, and Jules learned to use the key. In a book on telegraphy by J. D. Reed, of Philadelphia, Lumbard's name is mentioned as an exceptionally expert operator and as a tutor of John Van Horn, for many years vice president of the Western Union Telegraph Company. Because of his proficiency, Lumbard was sent to Tuscumbia, Ala., then an important repeating station between Louisville and the East and New Orleans In the little Southern town Jules Lumbard sang He was cultivating his musical taste, and he sang "Oft in the Stilly Night" and "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" as they had never been sung before. Near by—the town of Sheffield stands there now—was a great plantation owned by the Elliots. In this fine old Southern home Lumbard was frequently a guest; the daughter, Miss Mary Elliott, liked the singing of the young man from the North. When Jules finally went away from Tuscumbia he told Mary Elliott that he would be back in three years. He did, and when he again went away she was with him as his bride. Those who knew them will ever remember the stately couple and the charm of their society. They lived together for half a century, Mrs. Lumbard dying a few years ago. For a time Jules Lumbard traveled for a picture house in Sandusky, Ohio. He was in Chicago when Sumter was fired upon. Immediately he arranged to go to the front as adjutant of the Eighth Illinois Cavalry. Then came to him a terrible fact. His wife's kinsfolk were all in the army of the Confederacy. She was torn with emotion and said that his going would kill her. He believed and surrendered his commission. Engaging with Root and Cady, he became the editor of their musical journal. During this time he and his brother, Frank, began to assist in the raising of troops by singing war songs at all the big meetings. In Chicago and throughout the Northwest they sang, and their singing was greeted with enthusiasm. They came to know immediately all the distinguished public men of the time Lincoln knew them well, and cherished them with high regard. In the fall of 1863 the brothers visited the army at Vicksburg, as the guests of Captain Osbomn, who commanded Grant's bodyguard McPherson Sherman and Logan entertained them at their head quarters and they sang nightly for the soldiers. Here Frank Lumbard learned "Old Shandy" from a negro—the song which John Hubbard, assistant postmaster of Chicago, still sings. Hubbard sang in those days with the Lumbards, and he and Jules are the last of those old singers—Church, Charles Smith, Rob Howard and Yates—who helped to make the war songs famous. In the days of the oil excitement in Pennsylvania, Julie Lumbard went to the Keystone State. He accumulated a fortune of $300,000 and went with his wife to live in New York. His splendid voice charmed all who heard it, and the beauty, wit and vivacity of Mrs. Lumbard made them the center of a rare society. He sang "Elijah" with Parepa and he sang with Emma Thursby, Whitney, Julia Northall, Castle, Campbell and Tagliopton. And his music was free. He never sold his voice Harry Ward Beecher said from his pulpit that Jules Lumbard did more for charity than any other man in New York or Brooklyn. And because of this his fortune disappeared. Compelled to resume work, he returned to Chicago and engaged to do concert work for Major Pond, but he did not relish singing for money, and soon after engaged as agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad. He went to Omaha for the company and worked for the corporation until a few years ago, when he retired on a small pension. Out of active employment, Jules Lumbard remembered that he had been admitted to the bar in Illinois in Rising Sun Fire Insurance Co. Muskogee, Indian Territory. 1854. He determined to take up the practice of the profession once more, and so on the 16th of February, 1903, he went before the Supreme Court at Lincoln, Neb., and was admitted to the bar of that State. Then he opened an office in Omaha and is now in practice. Less than two months ago Jules Lumbard sang in concert at Davenport, Iowa. There was a benefit for his friend, Wallace Moody, and the old man volunteered his services. The same fine, old voice was his, and when he sang the old songs he commanded the same measure of applause accorded him in wartime. John E. McWade, of Chicago—member of a younger generation of singers who made the Chicako Church Choir Company famous in the days when Gilbert and Sullivan were at the height of their popularity—was there, too, and he and Will J Davis conspired together to arrange a benefit for the grand old man whose entire life has been given to benefiting others. And so, some time in the fall, there is to be a war concert in Chicago John McWade will sing and John Hubbard will give "Old Shady," then, perhaps, Jules Lumbard will ask some one to help him with "Larboard Watch, Ahoy." But the ending of the program will be a song which will bring the people to their feet as they are "shouting the battle cry of freedom," led by the man who sang it first—Jules Lumbard One Daniel Ryan, a railroad laborer in Missouri, robbed Patrick, Ford of $8 and plead guilty in court. He was sentenced to two years in the State's prison. One Senator Mitchell, from Oregon, stole thousands of acres from the Government then denied it. He was tried and convicted and sentenced to six months. Another Migh up thief embezzled $11,000 and was convicted and sentenced to two years in the pen. Notice the difference between the treatment "justice" and the American spirit of "fair dealing" motes out to the small thief and the big thief. And this difference is universal. Would it be so if the press and pulpit did their duty? DRINK GOETZ Standard Beer THE BEER WITHOUT A HEADACHE. "Come out!" they cried, with jeer and shout, "Come out with club and gun! We'll bluff the rooster from his perch And see Tom Kelley run!" The yelling lines rush madly on, A howling host they come; But, ah, they stop with sudden shock— Tom Kelley wouldn't run. They waver first, and next give back— For pluck a mob will stun— Then ble them to their homes again Since Kelley wouldn't run. There may be truth in what they say— It may be only fun— He'd hug the post or do his time, But don't you b'lieve he'd run. In after years they'll tell the tale Of how the chase begun. And how it ended in a rout When Kelley wouldn't run. LAS VEGAS, N. M. Our new minister, Rev.

"The industrial, religious and intellectual advancement of the Negroes of Alabama, and of the entire south, and the peace and good will between the whites and blacks of our section is of too great importance to admit of any disturbance brought on by pressing worthless and foundationless claims of social equality. I know Booker T. Washington, and I do not believe that down in his heart he has any less regard for the time-honored customs of the south than any man in it. I believe his mistake was the error of the moment and of the circumstances; and could not be repeated. Therefore, I beg that you and the white people of Alabama will guarantee to him that recognition and protection which he has hitherto received at your hands, and thereby not only favor Booker T. Washington, but the nearly 1,000,000 Negroes of Alabama. We are completely in your hands in all respects, as bahea in the hands of powerful giants." OSWEGO, KANS. Miss Olivia Porter, Messrs.
