Former President Cleveland presided at a public meeting in Philadelphia in aid of the Berean Manual Training School, an institution which aims to give members of the Afro-American race the benefits of industrial education. Mr. Cleveland was the principal speaker, and Booker T. Washington, president of the Tuskegee Institute, also made an address. The institution was established less than two years ago and has an enrollment of two hundred students. Mr. Cleveland said in his address: "It is foolish for us to blind our eyes to the fact that more should be done to improve the condition of our Afro-American population, and it should be entirely plain to all of us that the sooner this is undertaken the sooner will a serious duty be discharged and the more surely will we guard ourselves against future trouble and danger. Defective Page "No one who has given the subject deebaterte thought can doubt that, if we are to be just and fair toward our Afro-American fellow citizens, and if they are to be more completely made self-respecting, useful and safe members of our body politic, they must be taught to do something more than to hew wood and draw water. "The way must be opened for them to engage in something better than mental service, and their interests must be aroused to rewards of intelligent occupation and careful thrift. "I believe that the exigency can only be adequately met through the instrumentality of well-equipped manual training and industrial schools, conducted either independently or in connection with ordinary educational institutions." Elmer Pettiford, the Afro-American clerk in the office of the auditor of the War Department at Washington, who has refused to work on Saturday because it is against the teachings of the Seventh Day Adventist faith, will retain a place in the government employ, but suffer a reduction of $480 yearly for his religion's sake. Assistant Secretary Ales has ordered Pettiford removed from his clerkship and transferred to the place of "money order sorter" in the office of auditor for the Post Office Department. His new office will pay only $720 a year. He was drawing $1,200, but as he announced his determination to resign altogether rather than break faith with his duty as he sees it, he will accept the reduction. And now comes Rev. Ingraham, a Milwaukee clergyman to rescue Sappho from the veil of indecency and immorality which has covered her for centuries. At the meeting of the Methodist Ministers' Association, he assumed the defense of the Greek poetics and asserted that Sappho, so far from being the lewd woman pictured by writers; was a chaste, pure woman, "who has been maligned by women haters, clbwns and ridiculous groveling people." The spirit of her poetry, Mr. Ingraham said, is pure and good. After her the Greeks, comic poets of Athens covered her name with "unjust soil" to make the groundlings laugh. Not long since charges were made against Rev. J. H. Cohran, pastor of Central Baptist church, St. Louis, Mo. A council of twenty Caucasian ministers declared that the charges were not sustained by the evidence. Then a council of ten Afro-American ministers deliberated over the matter and came to the conclusion that the deacons were right and Pastor Cohran wrong. Rev. Cohran was not summoned and had no part in the proceedings. It is said that the trouble was all caused by the fact that Rev. Cohran married a charming widow who was not a member of his flock and the sisters of the church became jealous thereat. Senator Morgan of Alabama has a plan for colonizing in the Philippines, the Afro-Americans of the United States. Even old bentillian declares the scheme to be chimerical. It is queer that men who claim to be intelligent have 'the nerve to spring such fool propositions on the people. The Afro-American is in this country to stay and here they'll remain. All that is necessary to solve the alleged problem is to give him a square deal. It is stated that the President has had an investigation made of the charges against Dr. W. D. Crum who is an applicant for the position of collector of customs at Charleston, S. C. It has been found that the charge affecting Dr. Crum's integrity in the republican national convention of ten years ago is wholly unfounded and Dr. Crum will soon be appointed. Secretary Hays has canned to Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, United States minister to Liberia, asking for a full and truthful account by mail of the alleged shooting by the minister of Thomas Faulkner at Monrovia. From the rumors in circulation there have been lively times in the U. S. Legation in Liberia recently. "The lily whites" of Alabama have nothing to boast of in the recent elections. They carried but four counties in the entire state and polled a total vote of less than half of that secured by the republicans and populists two years ago. T. Thomas Fortune, editor of the New York Age, sailed for Honolulu Thursday, December 11, on a confidential mission of the Treasury Department. He leaves Hawaii January 3 for Manila. Senator Pritchard will support an effort to reduce representation of the Southern states in national conventions according to vote pulled by them and Senator Quay says "I am with you." THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER SPECIAL HOLIDAY SALE M. B. O. M. SMITH Confuse us with cheep tailors. Our work is made on the premises, under our personal supervision. Our cutting force is unrivalled in its excellence, and we employ only the finest tailors in St. Paul. PLAN OF COUNCIL ORGANIZATION President Fortune Formulates it on the Eve of Leaving the Country. To the Officers and Members of the National Afro-American Council: As I shall leave the United States shortly for the far East, to be absent, perhaps as a result of the thought of a humble Afro-American civil and its future well-being, as the one organization of the race whose primal object is the preservation and proper defense of the civil and political Afro-American people. My best thought is that we have been devoted, during the past twelve years—dating from the organization of the National Afro-American Society to the paramount necessity of effective race organization for mutual protection and defense of civil rights and mutual interests. Effective organization is the only supreme power in modern society. The greatest misfortune of our society is the need to size and live up to this principle of social security and progress. We have depended too much upon others to do for us what we could and should do for ourselves. Mankind is selfish by the need to maintain the social life; and the man we need to neglect their own interests will find to their sorrow that others are too busy to attend to them for them. What is everybody's business is now the responsibility of us. The main difficulty with and drawback to the National Afro-American Council today is that it has no substantial basic organization. The masses of the people do not belong to it and do not sympathize and money. Its annual constitution composed of fraternal delegates and delegates representing business and professional interests, who are willing to pay $5 for participation in the deliberations, and who are unable to be active members when the convention adjourns sine die. The official board of the organization really constitutes the only membership of the National Council from the adjournment of another, assembling of another; with the exception, of course, of the state council in California, which has changed from the Afro-American League of Californieto the Afro-American Council of Californieto held since the adjournment of the National Council, at St. Paul, last August. No organization constituted as the National Afro-American Council is today responsible for membership, can do the important work mapped out by its founders and expected to ple at large. Believing that my action in this matter will be approved by the next annual convention, and hoping to be involved in a basic membership of the council, in a action primarily on Article VI of the state organization of the constitution of the National Afro-American Council, I submit the following plan of local organization: the council shall be competent to organize a local council circle to be offered as provided for in Article II of the by-laws for local organization membership to be restricted in membership to persons, such local circle to be entitled to payment of state conventions upon payment of assessment provided in Article XVIII of plan of state organization and to one delegate in annual National Council membership to the tax provided in Article III of the constitution of the National Afro-American Council. 2. Women may organize local societies precisely the same conditions prescribed for men in specification 1 herewith. 3. Ten circles may organize a state council, as provided by Article IX of the national constitution. I sincerely hope, in every community where I work, that we can reach to each other and interested the welfare of the race, that they will at once organize a local council circle. I am reasonably certain that the women of the race will take hold of the work. The council meets next year at Louisville but at least five hundred circles reported and represented. William A. Pledge, free vice-president of the National Afro-American Council, is hereby authorized to act as president, during my absence. T. TROMSA POPUNE, President. CYRUS FIELD, ADAMS, Secretary.

Stair has arranged to present George Sidney in as his introductory to theater-goers in a stellar role. Of course it is farcal in its nature; it is replete with specialty numbers, music, laughter and pretty girls. That it will be sumptuously staged and dressed goes without saying, for Manager Stair will give it the same kind of a launching that he has always provided for his Ward & Vokes presentations. All of which means that a new and formidable organization will be found bidding for the dollars of the theater-going, laughter-loving public. George Sidney, who will head this organization, is an unfortunate little comedian who has hewn his way into the affections of those who like to laugh by his quant charisma or "Izzy" in the Ward & Vokes offerings. The little Jew in "The Floor Walkers" and "The Head Waiters," has cut-up with "Percy and Harold" so that he can look and liked. As associates with Sidney will be found Annie Martell. Fred Wyckoff, Florence Ackley, Edward Clark, Lisle Bloodgood, Daniel Sullivan, Grace Dare, Frank Gibbons, Evelyn Granger, Will J. Hogan, Vesta Bergue, Thompson & Andrews, the Jugging Normans (five in number), and a fine chorus of thirty voices. This attractive novelty will be seen at the Grand Opera House next week. MERRY CHRISTMAS! A Grand Holiday Ball to Be Given by the Twilight Social Club.

The members of the club, in presenting themselves to the public, in this, the first of a series of such entertainments, assure their friends a good time. Persons who may come expecting to see "cake walking," or "buck and wing" dancing contests will be disappointed. Friends who may come for the purpose of enjoying themselves, will find good music, good order, good refreshments, and, as near as possible, will give all the club, such management as will give a good time and send them home in the morning satisfied. Gardner's celebrated orchestra will furnish the music. COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT. A. W. White, W. R. Crayton. O. W. Kennedy, L. F. DeLyons, floor manager. Interurban cars pass the door.

Smarting under reflections cast upon Afro-Americans by other speakers at the Baptists Congress, now being held in the First Baptist church, the Rev. Charles S. Morris, D. D., of New York, startled the audience at Tuesday night's meeting by a fiery defense of his people in language which created a sensation. It was plain, but dignified; warm, but logical; altogether, as able to convey the message of the race by one of its number as been heard in Boston for some time. The audience convulsed the audience by saying seems to me that this Negro problem, so-called, is discussed in very much the same way that medicine is administered to a horse. We never ask the horse what the matter is with him; we simply diagnose his disease and make him take our prescription. What is the matter with us? Under education our skulls are gradually enlarging and are in the right place; our hearts are in the right place, our lungs are in excellent condition; you may see if you attend our prayer service if allment seems to be a sort of skin disease, and it has been diagnosed as *Epidermis Niger*. It is only one-sixteenth of an inch deep, but it is the cause of the whole "Negro problem." FOUR THINGS. FOUR THINGS. Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true: To think without confusion clearly; To love his fellow men sincerely; To love those who love purely; To trust in God and Heaven securely. —Henry Van Dyke, D.
