THE REAL PA Mr. Henry Ellsworth, a W Oberammergau Every Year Lang, the Christ of the Shown in America Ever new, although 264 years old, and ever of absorbing interest to religionist and unbeliever alike on account of the extraordinary traditions that surround it, the Passion Play of Oberammergau is depicted truthfully on this page for the first time in authentic photographs. Since the camera has come into ready use by tourists there have probably been more efforts made to protograph the Passion Play in its original setting than any other subject. All these efforts except the one the results of which are shown in this paper have been unsuccessful because the rule that no camera should be allowed within 100 feet of the stage at Oberammergau has been impartially and rigorously prohibited. No consideration of money or influence has succeeded in suspending this rule until Mr. Henry Ellsworth, a wealthy American, through his friendship with Anton Lang, the Christus of the play, was permitted to make photographs when the play was last put on. Since last year there have been displayed in Europe and America no fewer than 700 sets of moving pictures, that on this side of the water, have been represented as actual photographs of the original Passion Play. Mr. Ellsworth's investigations show that not one of these pictures was made on the scene, and that no moving pictures ever have been made at Oberammergaun. Furthermore, unless every tradition that bounded the Passion Play for more than two and a half centuries be torn asunder, no moving pictures ever will be made of this remarkable theatrical performance. It was found that the photographs alleged to depict the play were made Sebastian Lang as Caiaphas. THE WIDOW FINDS NEVER BY HELE "Oh dear," sighed the widow, glancing at the bachelor confidingly as he turned his horses into Central park just as the 4 o'clock parade was beginning. "I wish I had a brother for—for a few minutes!" The bachelor nearly dropped the reins. "I'd be one to you," he began, doubtfully, "only I hate to join the throng"— "There isn't any throng," Mr. Travers, "interrupted the widow, in an injured tone; it's a rare privilege"— "Oh, well, exclaimed the bachelor, more eagerly, 'If I'm to have all the prince,'" I want somebody, "continued the widow, ignoring the impertinence, 'to tell me the bitter, brutal truth about myself. Girls who have brothers have such an advantage over those who don't. It's a constant rehearsal for matrimony, without all the attendant pangs and disappointments." "If you mean," remarked the bachelor, flicking the off-horses spitefully, "that they get used to having pipe smoke around the house and lose their distaste for swear words and their resentment, authority, and their illusions and their faith in men." "That's just what I do mean!" cried the widow, clapping her hands delighted. "They have nothing to learn." "Heaven forbid!" ejaculated the bachelor, pliously. "Nor to get used to nor to be disappointed in! They go into matrimony unhampered by illusions or delusions, or the belief that a man is going to be as noble and tender and fascinating before breakfast and without a collar or a shave as he is after dinner in a dress suit, when the lights in Paris in March, 1907, by an ambitious photographer, who set his own stage and hired his own actors, as moving picture concerns do in their other work. Herr Lang, through Mr. Ellsworth, has authorized the American press to say that no photographs except those made by Mr. Ellsworth, on this page, have ever been made at Oberammergau orization bears the signature of Herr Lang. Mr. Ellsworth, who has spent a part of each year since 1889 at Oberammergau, said: "In London a moving picture company gave me a private view of its Oberammergau pictures, but they knew and I knew they were not authentic. In Europe the exhibitors of such pictures dare not declare them authentic, one would know not true, so we are the traditions surrounding the Passion Play understood. The following scenes are depicted by the moving pictures, and not one of them is real—Arrival of Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem, the Star of Bethlehem, Birth of Christ, Massacre of the Innocents, Flight Into Egypt, Arrival in Egypt, Holy Family in Nazareth, Christ's Baptism, Raising Christ, Walking on the Waters." The next performance of the Passion Play will be given in 1910. About every ten years since 1634 there has been a performance. The regular performances are on Sundays and church holidays. In 1896 there were twenty-seven performances scheduled, but because of the attendance twenty-seven performances were not possible vestige of commercialism, or any thing that might look like commercialism, has been kept Sebastian Lang las Saul are low and the music is playing. They haven't any ideals to be shattered. "Shattered ideals," declared the bachelor, valiantly, "are better than none at all. A woman without ideals is like a rose without perfume, or a cocktail without the olive. She hasn't got the flavor"— "No," rejoined the widow, "but she has a working knowledge of men that is a great deal more useful to her. Any girl who has a brother ought to be grateful all her life for the liberal education he affords her and the foolish things he keeps her from doing." "What!" "Well," exclaimed the widow, "a girl would the her hands behind her back before she'd write a sentimental note after she's seen that tired expression" on her brother's face when he reads one from another girl—or his girl when came for a little thing calls him up on the telephone or heard him groan at the sight of his forty-seven soffle pillow at Christmas, or"— "Nice sort of man—your ideal brother!" broke in the bachelor, scorruffly. "Oh, you can learn lets *of nice things about a man, too*," rejoined the widow, cheerfully. "For instance, you may discover that he can be quite fond of you, and at the same time not admire the shape of your nose and the way you do your hair and that he can adore you and at the same time forget you exist while he is driving a nail or reading the morning paper and yet swear at you under his nose, and yet swear at you under his nose, if you wake him up in the middle of a nap or talk to him while he is nice; and that he can be quite nice. THE APPEAL. foreign to the Passion Play through all the years it has been given. The last forty-seven performances at Oberammergan brought in $247,000, the admittance fee ranging from fifty cents to $2.50. From these forty-seven renditions, however, there was no profit, as the income was all required in the legitimate expenditures of the performances. Oberammergan has a population of 1,400 and of these $56 take part in the play. There is no element of mediaeval mysticism in this wonderful play, staged in the peaceful village in the Upper Bavarian valley of the Ammer. It originated from a vow taken by the villagers when a plague was raging, and in the beginning the monks of Ettal are believed to have written the play. It was in the beginning of the last century that the play in substantially its present form will be given on the 5th May, 1910, and performances will continue until the last Sunday in September. Mr. Ellsworth will return to Oberammergan in a short time. the religious atmosphere in the valley of the Ammer becomes dense. It is estimated that during the last century not fewer than a thousand persons, principally women, went insane as a direct result of watching the Passion Play. During each performance women became hysterical and had to be carried out in order to allow the actors to proceed calmly. Each performance is preceded by mass of 4000 clocks, after 8 o'clock in the morning no one is admitted to the theater, visitors arriving later being required to wait until the midday intermission. The present theater was built in 1889 at a cost of $100,000. Its seating capacity is 4,000, every seat being reserved. In 1890 the government compelled some changes in the play, but they were of a minor character, and did not detract away from the dramatic quality of the production. The rang, who played the part of Christ in 1890, was a man of importance and potter, and was only twenty-five years old. His predecessor was the Joseph Meyer, a wood carver. Mr. Philip Secaf, a Damascene, was the first to import into Syria an automobile of modern perfection, zhih often imagined what a great sensitious self-propelled vehicle would cause among the peasants in the interior of Syria, most of whom never seen a railroad or even experienced the luxury of a carriage ride but I did not expect the unusual co-operation which we encountered. Mr. Secaf invited me to accompany him on a trip across the Syrian desert. I at first feared that we might "I hope to be able to pass the rest of my life there," he said. "I love the place because every one there is honest. There is no guile and no deception. When one meets a woman in the street he knows she is pure, and she knows you know you may trust him to the earth. It is an atmosphere that exists nowhere else so far as I know; and is the only sort of atmosphere in which such a theatrical production could be preserved in all the sanctity and purity of motives suggested by its traditions." Yes, yes, impossible, for even the religiously disposed in far away America to appreciate the weiriness, the dramatic sublimity, the tenseness of emotional tuning that accompany the rendition of the Oberammergau Passion Play. In a community deeply religious at all times the devotional depth into which the villagers plunge during the period prefounded by the profound.

"And that he doesn't mean half the nupleasant things he says." "Nor half the pleasant ones." "What!!" The widow dropped her handbag. The bachelor glanced up at her critically. "What makes you wear your hat over one ear?" he asked, nonchalantly. "Mr. Travers!" The widow clutched at her hat desperately. "And most of your pompadour at the back of your head?" "It's the fashion!" "And that bunch of fluffidub under your chin, and so much powder on your nose, and those pinchy-looking gloves, and all those jingly fol-de-rols on your wrists and"— "Is—is that the way I look to a man?" gasped the widow. the religious atmosphere in the valley of the Ammer becomes dense. It is estimated that during the last century not fewer than a thousand persons, principally women, went insane as a direct result of watching the Passion play. During each performance women had and had to be carried out in order to allow the actors to proceed calmly. Each performance is preceded by mass at 6 o'clock in the morning; after 8 o'clock in the morning no one is admitted to the theater, visitors arriving later being required to wait until the midday intermission. The present theater was built in 1850 at a cost of $400,000. Its seating capacity is very heavy and abundant reserved. In 1890 the government compelled some changes in the play, but they were of a minor character, and did not detract any from the dramatic quality of the production. Anton Lang, who played the part of Christ in 1900, was a stove repairer and potter, and was only twenty-five years old. His predecessor was the stove repairer and potter. In 1900 Lang was perceptibly nervous at his work on the stage and received valuable coaching from Meyer, who spoke the prologue. Anna Flunger, who played the part of the Virgin Mary, was only eighteen years old. She was the daughter of the village postmaster, and considered the most beautiful girl in the valley of the Ammer. Her family for generations had taken part in the Passion Play, her grandfather having played the part of Christ in 1850, and her aunt the part of Mary in 1880. While she played her part acceptably, her face was generally said not to bear the stamp of high spirituality that belonged to Rosa Lang, who played the part in 1890.

"Of course to me"— "Let me out this minute!" demanded the widow. "Not," declared the bachelor, leaning over in the dusk and kissing her lightly on the cheek, "until I have told you good-by." "Iw dare you!" cried the widow, rubbing her cheek with her handkerchief. "Just a brother!" finished the bachelor, with a low laugh, as she disappeared through the door and he climbed back into the trap. BEARDED LADIES ARE COMMON. At Least a French Woman Offers to Supply Any Number. An English woman who confesses to a mild mania for attending the street fairs common in and around Paris says that she is always impressed by the extraordinary number of bearded ladies among the attractions. "I was inclined to think that they were fakes," she says in the Gentlewoman, "but when I discovered that they were quite genuine my surprise at this wonderful supply of phenomena grew stronger. And when a few days ago I saw at the fair in the Avenue d'Ordenas a lady exhibited with a long flowing beard I could no longer withhold my curiosity. "I applied for information to a gentleman well known in the showman world and who acts as a kind of agent to the people owning shows, supplying them with the necessary goods, human and otherwise. This gentleman appeared surprised at my question. "Bearded ladies! he exclaimed, I can find as many as I like. You have no idea how many women, if they liked, could rival men as regards whiskers and mustachios. But they are not anxious to enter into competition."

Here we were met by Faris Aga, the chief of the village, who had been attracted by the automobile's horn, which was something he could not understand. We stopped. I jumped to shake hands with him, and he shrank from me. It was several minutes before he recognized me, and then in surprise asked me when I had returned from America. CHEVROLET "Where are your horses of the carriage?" he asked. "How are you able to go without something to pull the car?" Women, children and old men were running from all directions to see the unknown object; but they were afraid to get too near until, encouraged by Ama, who was now having a thorough check of the ear they had to close in upon us until it was difficult to keep them at a convenient distance. Our plans were to leave Kuratun immediately for Palmyra, but Faris Ana insisted that we should come into his guest's house.

They blocked the way and pushed each other as if it were election night in Broadway. We left Damascus through the street called Straight and out through Thomas Gate, thence over the Aleppo carriage road as far as Kattifeh. Here we turned to the right and went by way of the village of Adameih. In my fourteen years of travel I have met many hospitable sheds, but never I met one whose hospitality could compare with that of Sheik Da'ass of Adameih. This honorable chief is actually happy at the sight of strangers in his village. When we reached his village we intended to spend the night at Jaroud, three miles beyond, at the guest's house of Mohammed Pacha El-Jaroud, but Sheik plain that we were endeavoring to establish a record, and his answer was, "Plenty of time!" However, we were not able to go without him because he is a relative of the Sheik of Palmyra, with whom I was not acquainted. We had to stay. We asked Faris Aga to go with us to his house but he refused to ride on the "devil's horse." We were therefore obliged, according to the custom of the East, to walk with him. There were a dozen Bedouin chiefs, armed to the teeth, awaiting his return, hoping to learn from him something about the mysterious genius. When they saw him with us they backed out of our way. Leaving Paris Aga and our party, I went over to the Bedouins and dressed them in their mother tongue, which seemed to soothe their fears. The first thing they asked was: "Have you seen the genii?" I tried to explain that it was only a carriage, but even this they did not understand, for they had never seen IN THE TENT OF EMIR NIMIR, T [Painting of a group of men in traditional attire, seated in a boat under a canopy].

Bright Pupil—"I don't know, sir. How old are you?" Mr. Philip Secaf, a Damascene, was the first to import into Syria an automobile of modern perfection.zl had often imagined what a great sensation this self-propelled vehicle would cause among the peasants in the interior of Syria, most of whom had never seen a railroad or even experienced the luxury of a carriage ride, but I did not expect the unusual consternation which we encountered. Mr. Secaf invited me to accompany him on a trip across the Syrian deserts and a first fear that we might fall into the hands of the beggars. But I wished to determine the practicability of a service for tourists between Damascus and the ruined city of Queen Zenobia, in the Syrian desert, Palmyra, so I set fear aside. Well supplied with gasoline and extra tires, we started with joyous anticipation on our initial journey from Beyrout to Damascus over the picturesque Lebanon mountains. When we were about twenty miles out of Beyrout we stopped for refreshments for ourselves and water for the car's filling bank. Every person in the village climbed the steep terrain as climbing the village square to look at the wonderful thing that could go without the aid of men or beast. The summit of the Damascus carriage road is a little over 5,000 feet high, yet our car behaved remarkably well, and with all the roughness of the road (especially that part from Aleh to Shotra) we were able to travel the distance in two hours less the car would be automobilists will find this road and other roads throughout Syria it for driving and under the new resign graft among government officials is done away with. On reaching Damascus there was a large crowd to meet the first automobile owned by a Damascene. Women children and grown men came long distances, some in carriages, some on horseback and some walking. They blocked the way and pushed each other as if it were election night in Broadway. We left Damascus through the street called Straight and out through Thomas Gate, thence over the Aleppo carriage road as far as Kattifeh. Here we turned to the right and went by way of the village of Adameth. In my fourteen years of travel I have met many hospitable shelks, but never have I met one whose hospitality could compare, with that of Sheikh Da'ass of Adameth. This honorable chief is actually happy at the sight of strangers in his village. When we reached his village we intended to spend the night at Jaroud, three miles beyond, at the guest's house of Mokaya, Pacha ElJaroud, but Sheikh Da'ass made an entrance of Adameth and insisted on our coming into his house for a rest. The moment we entered he refused to sit with us unless we granted him his wish, saying: "Gentlemen, if you wish I am worthy of your entertainment I pray you order the men to bring in your baggage. I beg of you not to disgrace me by your refusing my invitation." This, of course, was not our plan, yet the sincere and kind words he showered upon us made it impossible for us to refuse his earnest plea. The following morning we left Adameh for Kuratyan. The time required for a camel driver to travel this sixty miles is seventeen hours. The desert begins about six miles east of Adameh and extends for hundreds of miles far beyond the center of Arabia. We went for nearly sixty miles without seeing a human met or a green tree, but we met herds of hundreds of gazelles. The desert was as level as the sea, with Kuratyan we moved a number of caravans of camels. A ying, whirring man made motor car had invaded the land where, from time im- Had His Sympathy.

I told them that this was our horse, and that they need not be afraid, as we were friends of Paris Aga, and therefore friends to his friends. Paris Aga invited them all to go to the guest's house, and he called me to speak to them. I asked their chief, Emir Nimr, to ride in the motor, but he replied: "No! As long as my horse and camel can carry me through the desert I do not care to ride anything else." Nevertheless, after luncheon, he consented, and took his seat beside the chaffeur. We expected some surprise, and learned he might try to cam out. But as soon as the car began to move he threw his strong arms around the chaffeur and held him so fast that we were compelled to force him to loose his grasp and thus give the chaffeur a chance to steer the car. A little later he came to me T. LEBANON. with a serious look, as if disgusted with himself for not trusting to the word of a friend. "With your permission," he said, "I will take a short ride, provided Faris Aga comes with us." To this Faris Aga agreed, and we had a good ride at high speed, and both of these desert bred men seemed to enjoy it immensely. Leaving Kuryatan we had to travel by a rough road through ploughed fields. Before we were half an hour on the way we sighted Ain el-Bayadah, a Turkish military barracks built on the site of an old Palmyrian castle. The entrance to the ruined city of Palmyra is a melancholy sight. The shattered and scattered columns were depressing, and those still standing had a solitary, sad appearance, as if weeping over the lost glory of the capital city of Queen Zenobias empire, which included Egypt, Palestine and Asia Minor, and extended from the Nile to the Euphrates, and northward from Betra to beyond the Gallic kingdom. The mature village and the Sheik, Abd-Alah, turned out to see the polly visitor. Sheik Abd-Alah had been to Europe. He knew what an automobile was, soothed the fears of the people, and came out to meet us with a cordial welcome. We drove right in his court yard. When we told him that we came that day from Kuryatan to Palmyra it was hard even for him to credit the story. Faris Aga, our desert guest, assured him that it was so. "We left Kuryatan when the sun was high up in the sky," he said, "and the Muazin had not yet called the faithful to the noon prayer. We have done the trip from Kuryatan to Palmyra, or horse twenty-five hours, in four hours and a half in this automobile." The work of pruning the mammoth beech hedge at Melkicour, Pertshire, on the estate of the Marquis of Lansdowne, is now being carried out. The hedge, which is the most famous of its kind in the world, was planted in 1715. It is one-third of a mile long and about 100 feet high. It is pruned every eight on ten years, the operation, as may be supposed, being both difficult and a costly one. Special apparatus for the purpose has to be obtained from London.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1908. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. The Democratic party for a lengthy period has been put out of business so far as national affairs are concerned, but has retained a wonderful buoyancy during the long probation, hoping for a change of program which would again bring it to the front. It has fought bitterly and persistently and adopted every scheme it deemed effective in enabling it to wriggle into power. But recent utterances of men high in its counsels seem to indicate that the buoyant spirit has fled and left behind a settled conviction that there is no hope for the future. On its temple, the high priests seem to have inscribed the inscription: Abandon hope who enter here. As a sample of the tone of many of the Democratic journals, we quote from the New Orleans Picayune the following: "It looks as if the Democratic party, as a political power, has come to an end. It will continue to exist in some of the states for local purposes, and there will always be a dominant white party in the South, but as a national power the indications are M. J. HON. FRANK H. HITCHCOCK Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Whose Masterly Direction of the Campaign Made a Republican Victory. that Democracy will play a very sub ney, secretary of the local committee ordinate part." Tuskegee Institute, Alabama It is well to notice the fact that the manner in which the Democratic party has carried out its "local purpose" is the great obstacle to its ever regaining control in national affairs. It is the general sentiment that a similar policy introduced in the national affairs would be a calamity of the greatest magnitude. For instance the harrying of the railroad companies of the Southern legislatures has turned all of those companies against the Democratic party. Moreover, the domination of the party in the south is that of a minority oligarchy and is maintained by the most reprehensible means. The policies prevailing in the south in regard to attracting immigration is the result of Democratic rule, and the prevalence of such lawlessness as that of the night riders repels immigration even from the other states. Finally, the absence of adequate school facilities is an impediment to the progress of the south—much greater than is usually supposed. The Democratic party seems not to be a brilliant success, even for local purposes. Beginning Monday, Dec. 14, and concluding Saturday, Dec. 19, the International Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis will have its tuberculosis exhibit at the Tuskegee Institute. The program to be followed will without elaboration or magnifying approximately follow the program outlined for the recent International Congress on Tuberculosis held at Washington, D. C. In other words, an Afro-American Congress on Tuberculosis or Consumption will be held for the study and prevention of the dreaded disease. The program will include the general features of the Washington program. Meetings of ministers, of representative Afro-American Young Men's Christian Associations, Afro-American Young Women's Christian Associations, of Afro-American women's clubs, etc., will be held. These meetings will be in addition to the lectures to the people generally. Local committees have been appointed for the purpose of making plans for the exhibit, and a strong effort will be made to secure the attendance and the help of the strongest medical forces among the people of the country. All organizations and institutions of learning are urged and invited to send delegates to the meetings at Tuskegee. The full tuberculosis exhibit, as it has been set up at different points throughout the country, will be arranged in commodious quarters on the grounds of the Tuskegee Institute. Persons intending to be present are urged to send notice of such intention to Dr. John A. Ken- HON. F. W. UPHAM.

Josephus Daniels of North' Carolina, has his own idea—perhaps several of them—in respect to the non-election of Mr. Bryan. And what is more to his credit, he has the courage of his convictions and lets fly in the following impressive and depressive language: "The defeat of the Nebraskan does not injure that foremost private citizen of the world. It merely shows that, having abdicated to Roosevelt and Rockefeller, the people who cast their votes against him are not worthy to have Bryan at the head of the Republic." The language is depressive, because it entirely upsets our conceptions as to the worthiness of the American people. Heretofore we have regarded the American people as the salt of the earth; now it is demonstrated that they are the offscourings of Hades. And some of them live in North Carolina—more's the pity. It is to be hoped that hereafter Mr. Daniels will trek to some more worthy country; say Montenegro or Senegambia. The newspapers give information as to the hanging of three Afro-Americans in a church near Tiptonville, Penn. They were accused of murdering a sheriff. The natural and inevitable result will be the killing of a few more men like Senator Carmack. Just make it the fashion to kill and thenceforth no one is safe. It is the fashion in Tennessee. Hon. E. P. Bassett, former minister to Hayti, died in Brooklyn, N. Y., recently, aged 75. Prof. Bassett was one of the most distinguished Afro-Americans of the country, and one of the most scholarly. He was afterwards Consul General of Hayti at New York for 12 years. The Independence party had a landslide in the recent elections. Kansas gave the ticket 60 votes and Georgia gave it 91. Georgia thus honored her favorite son, John Temple Graves, who was the candidate for vice president. President Roosevelt stands to his guns and will reappoint W. D. Crum as collector of the port at Charleston, S. C. It is hoped he will be confirmed without the trouble that characterized his former appointment. It is stated in the newspapers that Mr. Bryan with his wife is on the way to Mexico, but whether or not he intends to run for president of that country is not stated. --- Cyrus Field Adams Only Afro-American Whose Name Appears on the Roll of Honor—First in the Chicago List of $50 Contributors. (From the Illinois Idea.) Contributions to the Republican campaign fund aggregated upwards of $1,600,000. Of this amount Fred W. Upham, western treasurer of the national committee, collected over $75,000. In the published list of those who contributed appears the name of Cyrus Field Adams as the only Afro-American who gave a sum that large enough to entitle him to a place on the roll of honor. Gifts of less than $50 were not scheduled in the individual lists. Doubtless a great many Afro-American Republicans, are CYRUS FIELD ADAMS subject to such credit as shall be chalked up against the large majority of small contributors. It is not surprising that Mr. Adams should be counted among the more liberal givers. He is that kind of a man. Anything he does is done with a spirit of unbounded generosity.

He is a resident of Chicago, an editor by profession, owns and conducts THE APPEAL, editions of which are printed both here and at St. Paul and Minneapolis, and he is a member of the First Ward Republican Club. At present, however, Mr. Adams sojourns in Washington, D. C., where he holds the position of Assistant Register of the Treasury. The record he is making in that office for ability to handle public business has elevated him to a high place among the leading men of the nation.

CRUM To Be Reappointed Collector of the Port of Charleston. Among the appointments to be anounced at the White house shortly (It might be interesting, in connection with the above, to note that Mr. Adams is also entitled to the distinction of being THE FIRST PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES to forward a subscription to the treasurer of the national Republican campaign fund.) The Afro-American and the Public Schools of the South. To the Colored People of the South: This is the third time that I have had the privilege of speaking to you in this way upon what I consider the most vital subject, outside of religion, that concerns our race. Action upon it cannot be delayed or omitted without the most serious consequences to this and succeeding generations. I refer to the education or our colored children in the country districts where from 80 to 85 percent of our people live. In a recent trip through the state of Maryland I was interested to find, for example, that there are no community centers within sight of the dome of the Capitol of the Nation where the public schools for our race are only open from two to two and one-half months during the year. Taking the Southern States as a whole, it is safe to say that the country schools are not in session at present longer than four or five months out of the twelve. When we add to this condition, in most cases, poor schoolhouse, no schoolhouse, little apparatus and poorly paid teachers, it is clear that this is a condition demanding the immediate and constant attention of parents, ministers, teachers and leaders of every description. The facilities for public school education in the cities and larger towns are good for the most part, but I know of counties where Afro-American teachers are paid not more than $15 per month, and out of this they must board themselves. This means practically no school, for a teacher worth more cannot live on such a wage. In order to impress our people with the truth of how far we are behind and with what remains to be done, let me make a comparison: Two years ago each child in the state of Massachusetts had spent upon him as per school population, in the free public schools $26.42, while taking the South, whole for the same year each Afro-American child had spent upon him as per school population from 50 cents to $1.50 in the different Southern States. At such time, does any one believe that we can educate our children? Ignorance will give denser, and crime, lawlessness and inefficiency will increase. Something must be done and that speedily. What is the remedy? Let parents and leaders get into close and sympathetic touch with the local and county and state officials and make known the condition and the needs of the children. If one effort does succeed, make another and another. You, yourselves, must make your wants known, no one can or will do it for you, must in a firm, conservative and yet pure manner insist upon our proper share of the public school funds. Parents must bear in mind that if they get all the public school fund that is justly due their children, this alone will not provide for the education of their children. Even the white children in the South are not receiving enough money to properly educate them from the public fund. In some each community must organize itself itself and keep taxing itself until each community has a good schoolhouse school term lasting from six to eight months in each year, taught by qualified teachers. I speak to our people now on this subject that they may begin organizing and that they may raise money this fall while our people have it. Now is the time to act. Do not delay another day. This is the season of the year when our people are handling considerable cash as a result of the sale of their crops. This is also the season of the year when they are tempted to throw thousands of dollars in unwise directions. I have THE NEW YORK TIMES you to use some of the money this fall that you would throw away in providing for the proper education of your children. We must, as a race, learn to make sacrifices. It is better that we go without proper clothing, that we go hungry, live on bread we eat on if necessary, rather than neglect it in our children. Let each person, teacher, minister, who reads these words, begin at once and stir the people to action in his immediate county. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON To Be Reappointed Collector of the Port of Charleston. Among the appointments to be announced at the White house shortly will be that of W. D. Crum to succeed himself as collector of the port at Charleston, S. C. There was a long and bitter fight on the original appointment of Dr. Crum. For several years his name was hung up in the senate and the people of Charleston stubbornly fought his confirmation. Dr. Crum's record as collector at Charleston has been such that President Roosevelt has decided he shall have another term. Information Wanted. I am seeking my fater, George R. West.

"THE GOVERNOR AND THE BOSS." The Attraction At the Grand Next Week. "The Governor and the Boss," Chas. E. Blane's new production, which will have its initial performance here at the Grand for the week commencing Sunday matinee, Dec. 6th is but a sign of the times, as a finger post, pointing the way to the better class of plays and the tending influence towards the betterment of our stage. Wm. H. Turner will be seen in the character of Big "Tim" McCormick, the "Boss," a role admirably suited to him. The action of the play takes place in and around New York City, the scenes depicting many local points of interest. The story tersely told follows: In the first act, he represents a library in Graham's house, the boss appears and offers to aid the independent candidate to get the Governorship. Graham is surprised. McCormick explains he merely does this to revenge himself on the Mayor, Graham's appointment for a wrong done to Mrs. McCormick by Vincent. The compact is made. In the next act McCormick discovers his daughter Graham's amanuensis and doubts Graham's honesty, because of the Mayor's charges which were publicly made through the press. In the last act the Boss learns Graham is innocent, saves him from Vincent's revolver and gives him the hand of his daughter. Graham is elected governor amid the plaudits of the populace and Vincent in his now known disgrace commits suicide. THE YANKEE DOODLE GIRLS. The Attraction at the Star Next Week What will perhaps result in proving a record breaker of the season at the Star Theatre will be "The Yankee Doodle Girls", which is to be the attraction at that popular house all next week. Briefly, "The Yankee Doodle Girls" program and company of the present season entitles them to the trade mark, "The burlesque show of the hour." The company is a large and excellent one, presenting two breezy and well written burlesques entitled, "At the Springs", and "Seeing St. Paul", both of which are magnificently staged in Broadway style. The girl is unusually strong and includes many well-known stars who have appeared here before. Amongst them are such well known characters as Harry Seyon, Harry Hearn, George Hawley, Frank Collins, Harry Davis, James Hazelton, Edward Randolph, Miss Julia Seyon, Miss Ada Gladstone and the great song bird, Miss Sadie Huested. The scenic, electrical and costuming departments of this organization are said to be magnificent throughout. Miss-Sadie Huested, The Big Noise and thirty beautiful "song birds" will be seen in several big singing and dancing numbers. Extra. Paul presents the "Mad Miller." ```markdown ``` Es Schlamu Alcikum.

The proceedings in the orationization of the State Grand Lodge Constitution and By-Laws have been published and are ready for distribution. The Grand Council has apportioned them among the various lodges and temples according to their membership. North Star Lodge and Naomi Temple have received their apportionment and ordered the same paid for. The Grand Master will visit each Lodge and Temple at the next regular meeting and distribute the books according to the apportionment. The Grand Master expresses himself as highly pleased at the spirit shown at the last meeting of North Star Lodge and says it was one of the best meetings he ever attended. Also, he was delighted with the efficiency of Naomi Temple in the ritualistic work which was done at the last meeting. It is hoped that each Lodge and Temple will send in its list of newly elected officers for the ensuing year. The annual meeting and election of officers of North Star Lodge, No. 1, U. B. F. was held at Tachida Hall last Tuesday night. The meeting was a variable love feast and the prospects for the Order are considerably enhanced thereby. The worthy Master declined a re-elected and Owen Howell was elected Worthy Master; Geo. B. Lowe was elected, Deputy Master; J. Q. Adams was re-elected Secretary; O. C. Hall re-elected Assistant Secretary; B. R. Durant, re-elected Treasurer, John Jenkins' elected Chaplain. George Mercer, J. R. Lawrence and O. H. Allen were elected Trustees. The annual report of the Secretary showed the lodge to be in the best condition in every way since its organization.
