PICTURESQUE COWBOY I VANISHING FROM P Dashing Swashbuckler a Victim of the Comim Modern Ways of Doing Things. PICTURESQUE COWBOY IS VANISHING FROM PLAINS Loved of all the nation as an institution, particularly American, and worshipped by the small boy, the day of the cowboy is passing. The dashing swashbuckler, with his legings, his swaggering sombrero, his belt, revolvers and lariat will soon be no more, he is vanishing from the plains, a victim of the coming of a more modern way of doing things. The knell of the cowboy's passing existence is sounded in the decision to abandon the reunion of cow punchers, for many years an annual event in Texas. This used to be held at Seymour, Tex. It was an event to which the whole southwest looked forward, and cowboys from half a dozen states made long trips in the saddle in order to be on hand for this reunion. It had been planned to hold it as usual this spring, but those who had it in charge found so little interest that they started an investigation to find out what had become of all the cowboys. Their discoveries were depressing from the standpoint of the small boy, who in dine novel and pictures has worshipped the deeds of the sharp-shooting, broncho busting, fearless men of the plains. each man with his six-shooter out, and firing into the air. The bombardment lasted for more than an hour, and the spitting of the flashes and the detonation of the shots made a most thrilling effect. Prohibition was another visitor that had not yet made its way into the far West, and in order to take care of the thirst needs of the guests thirty temporary saloons were instituted. These were-crowded night and day, and yet in spite of the amount of liquor consumed there was little disorder. Put Up Furious Battle. Occasionally there were fights. Two big cowboys battled furiously with their fists for an hour before one was forced to give up, but there was no shooting in the afray, for each man turned over his pistol to friends before the combat started. Some of the men who took part in the festivities had hundreds of miles to ride to get back to their ranches. In fact, there were some who came from as far as New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Montana. So great a success was the whole affair that it was resolved to make it an annual event, and it looked as His Occupation Gone. So widely has the cowboy been scattered by changed conditions that like Otello, he could truthfully say that his occupation is gone. Not more than a few hundred cowboys could by any possibility have been brought to Seymour, and, as this would have been as far short of a true reunion as a swallow is from composing a summer, it was reluctantly decided to have no conchave, and this means likely that the old pictureque institution has passed for all it time. Yet it has not been so long since that a reunion was held that was a remarkable success. Seymour, now the center of cultivated and agricultural section was a dozen years ago given over to grazing. In 1897 it was the scene of the largest gathering of cowboys ever seen in this country. The men from ranches in Texas, Indian Territory and Oklahoma rode to the gathering, and more than twenty thousand cowboys and five hundred Indians rallied to the camp and pitched their tents in Seymour. The influx of the settlers to the Panhandle and the ranch territory of western Texas had at that time just begun, and the advance of the farmer, who was destined to take the soil from the cattle grazer was yet in the future. One man bore the assignment of keeping this army of visitors in order, Capt. W. J. L. Sullivan recently elected doorkeeper of the Texas house of representatives. His proved courage and knowledge of the men, of the ```markdown ``` C Cowboy Breaking a Bucking Bronco. plains had led him to be picked as the man who could best be relied on to shirk the responsibilities of being named as grand marshal. But the modern not to be staye feel just the sai the nation did. Sullivan Is Diplomat Sullivan was the only peace officer in Seymour, and everything was up to him. But so skillfully did he discharge his duties that during the four days that the conclave lasted he found it necessary to make only two arrests and these were for minor offenses, which shows that the cowboy was never as needlessly quick on the trigger as the eastern public had been led to believe. But Mr. Sullivan was a diplomat. He wouldn't take any chances on a clash between the Indians and cowboys. He put the Comanches on one side of the town, while the cowboys had their camp in another direction. On the second day matters looked a little squally for the Indians, but Sullivan was on the job, and chased back the first party who suggested going over and paying a night visit to the redskins. Seymour had admirable advantages for a gathering of this kind. The road to the town, which then had a population of 300, was wide and flat, and gave a fine course for the furious races between the cowboys on their swift ranch horses. On the second night of the reunion Seymour saw the remarkable spectacle of twenty thousand cowboys riding back into town, at breakneck speed. --- each man with his six-shooter out, and firing into the air.

In fact, there were some who came from as far as New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Montana. So great a success was the whole affair that it was resolved to make it an annual event, and it looked as though the spirit of the Western life had been saved by getting the comrades together once more. Then came the war with Spain. That helped the game of the cowboy, for Theodore Roosevelt, remembering Cowboy Ro CORRIDA the valor of some of the men who had been his companions in the days when he was recruiting his present robust health by a life on the plains, formed a regiment of rough riders, a most striking company, and the plaudits of the whole nation went out to these men who went up San Juan Hill with the gallant colonel. —Copyright by J. E. Stimson. But the modern encroachments were not to be stayed. Civilization didn't feel just the same to the cowboy as the nation did.

Defe THE APPEAL. the most fertile farm land and yield a far greater profit. The life of Texas underwent a change. The farmer began to take the place of the cattleman, and even where the latter managed to maintain his way he began to apply new methods to the care of his herds. Typical Cowboy in All His Glad Rags The automobile began to be seen in the West. At first the cowboy laughed. What could the motor car do to push him out of his calling. It couldn't tame a broncho, it couldn't shoot, and certainly was unable to throw a lariat. Auto Comes on Scene. But the car got over the road fast. Copyright by J. E. Stimson It could make a round of the ranch at far greater speed. It wasn't like a horse. It never tired out, and an automobile of fair size could take around four men who could do the work of a dozen under the primitive conditions of the West. And so the settlement of new sections, and the application of modern methods has had the gradual effect of forcing the cowboy further and further into the West and Southwest. But there are no longer the same number of places to go to. The persistence of the advance of progress makes it ever on the alert to penetrate where it is least expected. Hence no matter wher he turns, the cowboy finds that the agencies that have been putting him out of business are actively at work. The pacification of the Indians is another of these factors. Formerly the cowboy alone could protect the rancher and his family from the red skins. Uncle Sams's soldiers were all right in the case of a considerable uprising when there came possibilities of pitched battles. But during a large part of the time the settler could not have troops at his elbow. To save himself from marauding bands of Indians he needed to have ever near in his own employ, in fact, intrepid men who would know how to deal with the murdering, robbing aborigines when liquor fired them into taking the war path. But now the Indian outbreak is almost completely a thing of the past, and about the only place left for the cowboy of real life is in the Buffalo Bill show. Citizenship in heaven will not exempt you from either taxes or service here. Defective Page AUDIENCE NEVER SEES HUMAN SIDE OF SINGERS --- It is when the curtain falls that the real self of the king and queen of the operatic stage can be studied. Then for a time the grand manner of the vocal monarch is laid aside, and the impersonator of the great role becomes for an instant just a plain human being, with all the virtues, faults and follies of the rest of us. A well known stage manager who has for years been associated with important grand opera ventures, and who has seen all the great singers at close range, talks entertainingly of their ways. It is all very different from what people think," he says. "For example, I have laughed while the great Italian tenor, Tamagno, now dead, was thrilling an audience with his wonderful performance of "Otello." As soon as the curtain fell and while the aplause was yet thundering to bring him before the audience to bow his thanks Tamagno would streak to his dressing room to grab a bottle of beer, and take a long drink. THE LADY OF THE ROOM (Copyright by A. Dupont.) Mary Garden. "Erma Eames is the personification of grace behind the scenes, and everybody admires her very highly. She is fond of children, and when she sang in 'Inello' with Tamagno and Maurel she won everybody by the gracious way she played with the children who figure in the second act of the opera. Caruso and Scotti Erolic Caruso, the leading tenor of the Metropolitan forces for many years in this country, and one of the greatest of favorites, is a very democratic sort of man, and I have seen him and Sigor Scotti between the acts take each other by the shoulders and waltz around the stage singing the popular number "Yama." "Mary Garden is a woman of most wonderful personality, and back of the scenes it was a never ending source of interest to me to watch her. She is gifted with most commanding intellect, and her strong, nervous habits of thought show all the time. "No matter how great the amount of industry involved in perfecting some detail that will add to the realism of her performance, the ceaseless industry of the woman will carry her through. Some singers would have been content to let a substituted dancer go through the gyrations that delight Herod, but as a true artist M. Dalmores. About Housecleaning. High finance is making two shares of stock grow where but one grew before, but woman's crowning achievement while cleaning house is to leave two rocking chairs in the dark spot where one was never known before. Escaping by a Technicality. Teacher—Tommy, what is an improper fraction? Tommy — You don't 'spect me to mention it 'fore all these people, do you? Miss Garden thought it imperative to preserve the illusion by doing the dance herself, therefore she studied for months, and actually became a dancer in order to do justice to this incident. "Especially is she a wonder in the are of makeup, and so great is this skill that she does not simply retain the illusion in front of the footlights, but back of the stage, when you are right close to her, and can see the volume of paint that has gone to help the effect the illusion is not lost. "During the performance she never loses the character. If she is a queen she retains her regal poise while waiting for cues. Never does she relax. If she is Jean the poor little mountbank in the 'Juggler of Notre Dame' she wanders almessly around the stage, throws herself down to rest on a pile of scenery, and never for an instant is anything but the ragamuffin youngster who becomes a saint through devotion to an ideal. Tetrazzini Delightful "The personality of Madame Tetrazzi is a delight to all who have been privileged to get back of the scenes, and come into contact with her. She is the true Tuscan, sunny and emotional. She loves to sing, she has no vanity, and she is frank to say that she hasn't the least idea how she manages to do it all. "More than once I have known astounded auditors to ask her: "How do you manage to sing those extraordinary high nots?" "The answer is always the same. She looks hopelessly baffled, and with a laugh says in broken English: "I don't know." "Like most prima donnas, in fact more so than most of them Tetrazini loves applause, and when she comes dashing off the stage after some particularly tumultuous outburst of admiration on the part of lr audience she is just as likely as not to throw her arms around the neck of whoever happens to be in the path and administer a hearty kiss. "Tetrazini has a speaking voice as high in proportion as her singing voice, and once to hear it is to know her ever afterwards, for there is probably no other speaking voice like it. "There is none of the grand manner about Tetrazini. She loves to receive, and her dressing room door is ever open to those she likes. "It was a frequent custom between the acts during the season in New Sig. Scotti. York to have her room so crowded that there was no room for her to walk around, and nobody enjoyed it more than the prima donna. "La diva has a great liking for dogs, and always has a number. Melba Is Haughty. "Madame Melba is the exact opposite to Tetrazzini. She is the empress back of the scenes. Never for one instant does she drop her hauteur. Melba has been the friend and admired of kings and queens. For nearly two decades her place as the reigning soprano of the world was undisputed, and it is only lately that Tetrazzini has come to contest that superiority. "As befits a singer of her fame she travels with a whole retinue of attendants, a secretary, etc. Perhaps she needs of these to take care of her jewels, for at one performance she wore gems worth a quarter of a million dollars, and many of them had an interest far beyond their financial worth. "One night when Melba had passed from the stage on her way to the dressing room, I made bold to bow and say: "Madame, the opera is magnificent tonight." The giant—his name of no consequence—was putting on his seven league boots. "Including, of course," he explained, "both the major leagues and perhaps the Three Eye. I've forgotten the names of the others." Having already put on his Sox, he fared forth and went on a terrific bat. You may know how heaven regards money when you see the people who have it. THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. "She paused an instant to say: 'Is it not always magnificent when Melba sings? ' Constantino and Dalmores, tenors, are both men who like and are liked by society. 'Both are men of good birth, splendid education and accomplishments, and have the saving grace of a modesty that is a never ceasing charm when exhibited by one of the most lionized classes of artists. 'Both also have the skill of athletes. Dalmores is a boxer. Constantino is a wonderful fencer, and I have seen him when he was doing the opera of 'Faust' while waiting for his call, walk around the stage, and challenge anybody who carried a blade to a little test of skill. At such times he would risk his prowess against anybody from great baritone to supernumerary, and it was rarely that anybody managed to make a point against him. Has Wonderful Words?" Honorful Wardrobe. "Constantino has a wonderful wardrobe for the forty parts he has in his repertoire, and for roles which demand a sumptuous showing he has hats and belts studded with diamonds and pearls, and these he will show to friends with as much pride as a woman displaying her new spring gown. "Zenatello, the young dramatic tenor, is a marked contrast to these two older artists. He is modest and retiring and dodges any social adulation. He knows little English, but has a funny fad for mastering the words of slangy English songs of the kind Madam Tetrazzini George Cohan writes, and it is funny to hear him while standing in the wings waiting for the cue that will take him into some tragic situation, humming over to himself the foolish words of some idiotic song. "Renaud is a great student, and is profoundly silent back of the stage, giving his whole mind to his work, and talking little. Sammarco is some what similar, though a little more sociable than the French baritone. "Labia, though a countess by birth, is jolly and unaffected. "Plancon has the habit of most bassos of going about the scenes trying his voice in sonorous notes. "The real singer you never can know unless you get back of the scenes." Apathy the Only Flaw. The English woman's intelligence, when it is developed, is of a high order, and her taste may be cultivated to a high degree. It is from sheer apathy that she is not, as a rule, one of the most fascinating of women. Madam Homer at Home Mrs. Malapar—Young Sharp will have to apologize before I'll speak to him again. Miss Interest—Did he insult you? Mrs. Malapar—Did he? The last time I met him I told him that my uncle, Lord de Style, had locomotive attacks, and he had the impudence to ask if he "whistled at crossings." He's an unsympathetic brute. The drudgery we call a drag may be the counterpoise that helps us rise. PROGRESS IS RAPID GOOD WORK BEING DONE IN BEAUTIFYING CAPITAL. Carefully Arranged Plans, Placed in Capable Hands, Thoughtfully Carried Out—Magnificent Buildings Nearing Completion. Development according to plan is the order of progress in the national capital. The work of improving the beautiful city on the banks of the Potomac is not going forward in a hap-hazard, hit-or-miss fashion, but is proceeding along lines carefully thought out by a commission assigned to the duty by authority of congress. This commission had as its chairman Daniel H. Burnham of Chicago, the other members having been Augustus St. Gaudens, Charles McKim and Frederick Law Olmstead. First preparing a sculptured model of the city as it existed in 1902, they then caused to be made a model showing the city as it should be built, according to an ideal plan. The senate committee on the District of Columbia was headed by the late Senator McMillan of Michigan at that time, and had as its secretary Charles H. Moore of Detroit. In one of the rooms of the magnificent library of congress may be seen the plans of Washington as the commission found it in 1902, and as they hope to have it appear to the generations of the future. And the plan of the city to come is not merely a dream. Already the work is in hand. New boulevards have been laid out, the office buildings for the senators and representatives in congress have been erected, the executive offices of the White House have been completed, the site for the home of the department of commerce and labor has been selected, the national museum is nearing completion, the marble home of the bureau of American republics—the gift of Andrew Carnegie—is building rapidly, the great Union station, the most magnificent as well as the most perfectly appointed railway depot in the world—it cost $25,000,000—is already a tangible entity, while the preliminary plans for many groups of new public buildings, notably that of the bureau of engraving and printing, on which is to be expended $2,000,000, have been approved. Avenues more magnificent than those of which Maj. J.Enfant even dreamed are already in their formative state and it will not be many years before the inaugural parades will forsake the great thoroughfares of Pennsylvania avenue and pass from the capitol directly went to the great monument along a boulevard, the like of which has not yet been seen. The entrance hall to the library of congress, reputed to be the finest marble interior in the world, awes even the hypercritical and weariest sightseer into praise. Despite the admonishment of silence, impressed upon all who visit the building, various expressions of admiration escape. Even when not couched in felicitous phrase, they embody genuine appreciation. One woman stood still a long time, noted the magnificent columns, the sculptured capitals, the glow of color in the ceiling decorations, the play of light on polished marble surface—sighed deeply and said solemnly: "Now, this is what I call scrumptious." Mrs. Taft Goes About Alone Mrs. Taft differs from Mrs. Roosevelt in taking her walks abroad unpaired by her lady-in-waiting. The ex-Miss Hagner, now settled down prosically to a desk in the war department—she says she enjoys her new job—attended every footstep of her presidential patroness. Mrs. Roosevelt never budged un-Hagnered. The royal social secretary was ever the most conspicuous figure on the official landscape at the White House. She ran the show. Now Mrs. Taft brooks no dictatorship. If she has a social secretary she doesn't complain of her in public. Mrs. Taft is self-reliant. She does her own thinking and her own walking. One meets the president's wife any morning trudging briskly down F street in a plain little gray tailor suit and black taupe and common-sense heels, unshadowed and unchaperoned, darting in and out of shops, democratically, usually unrecognized. She is becoming proficient in driving her own electric runabout, which is one of a trinity of new machines in the White House stables nowadays. The Cherub and the Bank Yesterday afternoon a tiny boy eats on a terrace step. Around him were four other tiny boys, all of them excitedly interested in a metal bank which the boy on the terrace seemed to have opened with a brick. It looked very like a hold-up, but when a passing woman asked for details a cherub, whose lawful abiding place seemed to be on a valentine card, explained that the bank belonged to his aunt, who had "dived" it to him. So, of course, it was all right. Only if anybody's aunt has missed a bank the size of a cigar box with contents therein, why—er—don't blame the maid.—Washington Star.

THE BAKER FAMILY. Seme time ago the Afro-American postmaster at Lake City, S. C., was murdered by a mob. Soon after the bereaved family moved to Cheisea, Mass. and lost all they had in the big fire. Whereupon, the Charleston (8. C) News and Courier mudrakes the Bostonians as pretended friends and Boston as “that city of loud pro: fessions and empty deeds.” It slurs both the one and compares the other in venomous style, but it is hard to see in what respect Massachusetts compares unfavorably with South Carolina. South Carolina murdered the father of the family and should have paid a handsome indemnity to the family de prived by the state's lawlessness ot its natural protector.

THE CIRCLE SQUARED. Quincy Ewing has given to the world what he conceives to be a full and complete solution of the famous raee problem which has for so long a time puzzled our statesmen, savants, philosophers and divines. It is obvious that in a matter of such vital importance, a great degre? of caution must be used; for even in the exact sciences, there are in- stances of the most accomplished ex- perts having made the most egregious blunders. For instances, the famous Russian mathematicidn Wrongski once claimed that he had effected a complete solu- tion of the problem of solving an equation of any degree. His process was submitted to the French Academy and found to be a glaring absurdity. and not long after it was proved that & general solution of equations above the fourth degree is simply impos: sible. 7 Mr. Ewing first disposes of several theories as to the reason for the frie: tion between the races, and contends that it does NOT exist for ANY of the following so-called causes: First, that the Afro-American is lazy. Second. that he is excessively crim: inal. Third, that he is illiterate. ‘Mr. Ewing certainly disposes ot these theories very effectively by ad- dueing facts which ate known to all people of average intelligence, and then assigns his own opinion ag fol lows: “The foundation of it, true or false, is the white man's conviction that the Negro as a race and as an individual, is his inferior, not human in the sense that he is human, and entitled to the exercise of human rights in the sense that he is entitled to the exercise of them.” | THE APPEAL is satisfied that Mr. ‘Ewing correctly states one of the causes of our racfal hostilities, without however suggesting any remedy. It can easily be shown that the closer ‘the races get together, the farther ‘they get apart. The white man has no fear of the lowest type of Negro 7s piring to become his equal or vival; the lowest type of the race does not ‘resent the grandfather clause and the jim crow car. He willing concedes ‘the superiority of white men, one and all, highest as well as lowest. | But so accomplished a scholar and author as Dr. DuBois can not help see- ing and knowing the immense infer. fority to himself of the greater part of the white population of Georgia; very possibly he doubts the superior- ity of Joe Brown and Hoke Smith. Hoke Smith does not like to have to look up to see Dr. DuBois; his idea is that Dr. DuBois ought to have stayed where he could see him by looking down, Nearly every white man fecls the same way.

HIGH CLASS CAUCASIAN THIEVES | “At last the sugar trust has been caught at its tricks. A federal court has found it guilty of cheating the government out of customs duties by the use of false weights. ‘That a great business association could stoop to such petty thieving is astonishing. It is a sad commentary on the business states practiced by a few of the great corporations in this country—for the ‘sugar trust 1s not alone in its iniqut ce | In other words some hundreds of ‘the best Caucasian citizens of the United States are thieves who live by stealing so contemptible as to make the invasion of a hgn roost by a hun- gry Southern Afro-American a com- iparatively commendable performance.

Tt has long been known that some bind persons can move about in places that are entirely strange to them with a remarkable degree of certainty and wittont coming into col- Mision with any iarge object. Halt a century ago Spallanzant dis- covered that bats can steer clear of obstacles in total darkness. In order to make sure that the sense of sight was not employed he blinded some bats and found that they flew about as confidently and safely as before. This experiment proved that warn- ing of the presence of objects is re ceived through some part of the sur face of the body other than the eyes, In the case of blind persons ‘it was thought at one time that this warning was given by sound waves reflectei by the objects, but this theory is dis proved by a simple experiment When a blind man’s ears are stopped completely the sense of distance re mains, although it is greatly dimin. ished, This shows that the sense of dis tance is not identical with the sense of hearing, ang that a distinction must be made between the sense ot distance and the directional power of the blind. The power depends chiefly on the sense of distance, but involves also hearing, smell, the tem perature sense and perhaps still other factors, | It is a noteworthy fact that the sense of distance is not possessed by all blind persors, but is found only in a few, and to very different degrees in these. The blind possessors o! this sense locate it in and near the forehead, and say that the sensation is vague and somewhat resembles a light touch, From tHe experiments of Kunz Woelffiin and others it appears very probable that the distance sense is a function of the sensory fibers of the first branch of the nervous tribemi nus, which ramifies thi ough the face It is still unknown whether the dis |tamce sense is served by special nerves or by fibers which also serve the pressure and other senses. An investigation of the conditions which favor this sense would be very valua ble, practically as well as theoretical ly, for thorough development of the distance ‘sense would make the lives of the blind far safer and more inde pendent than they are at present, | AMERICAN HOTELS LEAD THE WORLD I The proprietor of one of the fore- | ern hotel affords to the most hotels in Berlin, Mr. Louis Ad- | enough to pay for the ritiea | ences impossible in hi Jon, is now In the United States get- | Cnces Hupossible in i ting points on the management of ho- | service of tite casual tels. ‘The continent and England as | the United States and well has at last been forced to admit | be accepted as a ma that when it comes to garnering the Europe has finally sat ideas that will make altractive the | tice, for American to space within the four walls of a pub-/ in what is best in thi Me hostelry the United States leads | now demanding that tI the world.

We are in the business for the benevolence the public and we know no one by color, creed or position. All will alike receive the best treatment possible. The rumor is maliciously false. Any one wishing our services has only to call upon us to verify this statement. NAGEL UNDERTAKING CO., William E. Nagel, Mgr. Plainly Hiram's Fault.

A. Gaines and Walter M. Farnum as to which was the legally elected National Grand Master of the United Brothers of Friendship at the last Triennial held in Lexington, Ky. The national executive board met some time after the adjournment of the National Grand lodge at Louisville, Ky., and sustained the election of Gaines and expelled Farnum from the order. Whereupon Farnum bought suit in the district court of Washington, Tex., to establish the legality of his claim to the office of National Grand Master. The case was decided in Farmers' favor. Gaines then appealed to the Court of Appeals where he won his sweeping victory as the following letter will verify: Texarkana, Tex., May 6, 1969. Mr. F. H. Prendergast. The court today decided the case of Gaines, et al., vs. Farmer et al., reversing and dismissing the case. The opinion is by Judge Hodges, and he held that the district court of Harrison County had no jurisdiction of the controversy between Farmer and Gaines; in fact, fully sustains our contention that, inasmuch as no preliminary value is attached to the offices in question, that the court should not have inquired into the validity of the case at Lexington. The decision is a sympathetic appeal of the effect of that a general demurrier should have been sustained to both Farmer's original and supplemental petitions. I congratulate you upon the Very respectfully. Atry for Plaintiff. This is highly gratifying to State Grand Master Dillingham, as it precludes the possibility of any context or trouble at the coming meeting of the National Grand Lodge in St. Paul. And he desires to express his thanks and gratitude to all the members of the order who supported him in his stand for National Grand Master Gaines. And he appeals to all that we work as one for the grand meeting in July. Buy 'em and try 'em and you'll buy 'em all the time—Krispy Crackers.

PAAR, Prep. Branch Bakery, 461 St. Peter St. Telephone T.C.3622 On the Afro-American and His Religion. Rev. J. C. Reid, formerly of Minneapolis, but now pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, Sioux City, Iowa. read a paper before the Ministerial association of that city a few days since on "The Negro and Religion" which caused a two hour discussion. The paper was in part as follows: Before the light of secular intelligence burnt forth within the American Negro's mind, his religion was admitted to be genuine by those who held him in bondage. The psyche mystery that seem to link the unintelligent Negro mind with, God, was a puzzle to the intelligent Anglo Saxon, and perplexing to his understanding, yet this religion established an affinity between master and slave, which none other seem to have accomplished. In many instances master and slave would die for each other because of the existing love that bound them together. Grant that the motive which inspired each to an understanding of peaceful and happy relationship, was selfish in the extreme, the results attained was a marvelous achievement of brotherhood affinity, because they understood each other. Since encumination the foundation of a new relationship had to be established to reach a just conclusion without destruction of the fundamental principles of the once happy adjustment, have been and are the laborious work of the Christian men and women of both races. The Negro has made wonderful strides toward Christianizing his own, and acquiring church property, as the following figures will attest: Afro-American Churches. The most recent statistics and reports relating to the Afro-American churches, their number, membership and value of church property, give the following by denominations: The Episcopal church numbers 4,900 members; Congregational. 6,135 members; Presbyterian. 224 churches, valuation $183,826, members 31,500 Roman Catholics, members 20,000; Congregational Methodist, 9 churches, valuation $5,250, members 319; C. M. E., 1,759 churches, Valuation $1,713,366, members 129,383; A. M. E. Zion churches number 1,704, valuation $2,714,128, members 349,788; A. M. E. 2,481 churches, valuation $6,565,280, members 525,600, and the Baptist 12,565 churches, valuation $9,082,587, members 1,352,564. This gives a grand total of nearly 3,000,000 Negos identified with the churches. Many of these denomination support schools and colleges and some a publication house. His Adjustment to the White Man's Religion. But the Negro is not satisfied with the present influence of his religion upon the white brother. He misunderstands the operative basis of the religion of the white race, with individual exceptions. For reason, that he has been taught to believe that all true religion is the same, and his greatest happiness lies in his whole southern, but where repulsed, a doubt, at once, arises in his mind, as to the gentleness of his own, or the sincerity of the white brothers' religion because the profused passion for Christ love seemingly to remove the barricade prevents universal brotherhood. 25 years ago the worm that existed between black and white Christians was undeniable. Today that forwent Christian spirit has almost disappeared. The Negro's supreme desire is to adjust his religion to the white man's. And sinners, allowing the superior personality to dominate any unwholesome influence, reflected by the inferior. To withdraw from those who should be raised to a higher level is a striking omission of the tangible secret of Christian brotherhood. The forecasted results of intermingling, by those who are opposed to it, will lesson 100 per cent, when a intelligent men and women are made to feel that Christian religion is sufficient to refine the nature above that of any social enchantments incompatible with harmonious judgment. The right of a man to think and act for himself is divin eos long as he retrains from violation of our penal code, moral lace, and unchangable commands of God, as he might interpret it, imancipation of the mind, of which Christ is the greatest apostle, cannot be, unless those in equanimity and recognition of its great purpose, and acknowledgment of the superior caste whenever found. There are those who are disposed to doubt, by their actions that there is a realm of thought which raises men far above racial antagonism. The solution of this great problem of religious adjustment, is within the grasp of Christian man and woman today. If possessors of the Christ religion is not practical in their daily application, sufficient to overcome the low impulse of racial antagonism, the teachings of the lowly Nazarene has failed to serve its purpose. Charity covers a multitude of faults, but there right relationship that w and the men right relationship of the races, in place of the mind that insist upon dwelling within the realm profounded Christian thought. The Christian who knows what ought to be done, to alleviate the tension of misdirected views, against the high idealism of the brotherhood of man, for fear of public censure, has failed to do his Christianlike duty. He has transferred his work to posterior, for which he must answer to God. Moral courage to speak and act the whole truth is the heritage of every man. Negligence in performing this high function invites many minor difficulties destructive to religious adjournment. There is nothing wrong with the present system of religion, but public sentiment has attained the effect, and destroyed the present heritage of individual action, among the less assertive, but honest members of both races, thus mitigating results. Doers of the word and not prophets of the future, will solve any problem the human family is burdened with. God made men to dwell together in peace, other than this forces an acknowledgment that we are strangers to the possibilities of a larger and more sublime life. Wagner Hall for Rent.
