VOL.XXXI NO2 Gov. Glenn and Dr. Shepard FOR EDUCATION OF NEGROES North's Great Chance to Aid—Strong Appeal of Ex-Gov. Glenn in Behalf of National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C., to Open July 5—President Shepard Speaks at the Groom of the Unity. Springfield, Mass. Springfield, Mass., June 4. Ex-Gov. R. R. Glen, of North Carolina made a powerful appeal at the church of Unity last night for the money that is needed to establish the national religious training school at Durham, N. C., an institution intended for the industrial, physical and moral education of negroes. This is the main object of the school, but another and almost equally important part of the program is the series of "Chautauqua" courses by which it is, intended to improve the mental and moral condition of the colored preachers who are now faultily leading their own race. The president of the school, James E. Shepard, also spoke last night. The audiences were given envelopes and cards for pledges or contributions. The amount received in cash was $198, and there were several pledges besides, one of which was for $100. Springfield was the only city in New England at which a meeting in the interest of the school was arranged. Rev. Augustus P. Reccord, pastor of the church of the Unity, presided, and an organ recital by Arthur H. Turner prefaced the meeting. The new school, which is to undertake an important work in answer to a great need, will be opened July 5. Three buildings of the school are now completed, and a fourth is in process of construction. Prayer was offered at the start of the meeting by Rev. George House of Orange, N. J., and pleasant entertainment was provided in the jubilee singing of members of Rev. W. N. DeBerry's church. Rev. Mr. Record, in introducing Dr. James E. Shepard president of the school, said that it now remained to be proved whether emancipation was worth while. The bestowal of freedom upon the negroes would not be justified, he said, until they had been given the opportunity to prove themselves equal to the responsibilities as well as the privileges of freedom. One of the most hopeful signs, he said, was the founding of schools where the principle of moral vigor upon a basis of physical health was instilled. President Shepard Speaks. Dr. Shepard said that he did not believe that any dollar expended for the higher education of the negro or the industrial education of the negro had been wasted. When the negro was in slavery it was not a hardship to deny him an education. The best kind of education for a race that has recently been emancipated he believed to be religious education, largely because of its moral effect in the prevention of crime, vice and violence. In the new school religion and work will go hand in hand. Beside the instruction in various kinds of work, the school will provide summer courses for the negro preachers, who at present are in the position of the blind leading the blind. Of the 30,000 negro ministers in the United States only 10 per cent are trained, and most of them cannot go to the theological schools because they are too poor. In the Chautauqua department the negro ministers will have the opportunity to come into association with the best minds of the country. Young Men's and Young Women's Christion association workers will also be trained. One reason why the North should concern itself about the improvement of the condition of the negro is that the worthless and ignorant negroes flock to the North for the sake of the liberty they think they will have, whereas their conception of liberty is only license to do as they please. The safety of the North demands that the negroes should be morally as strong as possible. Ex-Gov. Glenn's Address. Ex-Gov. Glenn was introduced by Mr. Record a representative of the same element of the Southland, where he many different opinions on the negro question exist as in the North, and as a "southerner born and bred." Mr. Glenn began by saying he came in the name of humanity to appeal for the lifetime of the colored man to a higher and better state. It has often been said that the negro was the white man's burden. Rather it should be recognized that the negro is the co-laborer with the white man in trying to make the country stronger and better. Mr. Glenn said that his father did not believe in slavery, although he died fighting for the South, but that he himself had known negroes in slavery on the estate of an uncle. They were his friends, companions and playmates, he said. To illustrate the reliability and devotion of the old southern negro, he told the story of a southern captain who had a "faithful body servant, Matt," and who left his children to be taken in charge by the negro, and his valuables to be brought home after he had been fatally wounded in battle. The story, told with great pathos, got an unexpected grip on the feelings of the audience, when Mr. Glenn, pausing for a minute, said, "That captain was my father." The logic of the North's interest in the education of the negro was tellingly set forth by Gov. Glenn's account of the growth of the institution of slavery in this country. The northerners brought the slaves to this country from Africa, but could not utilize them, and for a fair consideration sold THE BEE WASHINGTON STAY OUT MIC CROW'MZ WILL BUTINSKY COME ON JIM OIS AINT NO TIME TO ARGUE'FI KEEPER JIM CROW THEATRE F. M. CROWN them to the southerners, who could. The North helped to bring them here, then helped to free them, and it is now its duty to help them develop into the strong and capable race that they are potentially. We can truly believe, Gov. Glenn said, that "God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform," for if the negro had not been brought to America they would never have gained their freedom. They would to-day be roaming the jungles of Africa. He said that when the negroes were emancipated in this country they were not ready for the great problem of citizenship. Then was the time when they should have been educated and trained. Instead, they fell into the hands of designing men, who told them they were the ones, if not the superiors of their masters, and every one was promised 40 acres of land and a mule. The result of this was they became insolent, many of them, trifling, vagabonds and even thieves. He spoke of the efforts made to disfranchise the negroes in certain southern states by imposing different suffrage qualifications on the negroes from those imposed on the whites, but he said that time was over and to-day the requirements are the same. No colored man and no white man who cannot read or write may become a voter, nor may anybody of either race remain a voter who has been convicted of an infamous offense. OUR CHILDREN MR. BRUCE MAKES AN APPEAL To Pastors—Over Worked Attendance Officer. June 3, 1910 To the Pastor: There are many evidences of the fact that hundreds of our children between, say, 6 and 14 years of age are not enrolled in the local public schools. A trustworthy estimate of the aggregate number of such children, of course, impossible, but one may safely say that the number runs up into four figures. Is this not a serious state of affairs demanding the attention of every good citizen? Now, the school organization cannot successfully cope with the situation unaided. For the entire District of Columbia the colored schools have but one Attendance Officer. This officer has devoted herself to her work with the utmost tact, intelligence, and efficiency but the task transcends the powers of any one person. On the other hand, the classroom teacher has her hand pretty full with the work of actual teaching although she has done and will continue to do all in her power to get the children into school and to keep them there. However, it is necessary, I am convinced, for every the speaker of the evening. His subject was "The Cucumber." In speaking of his subject he said that he would not dwell long on the cucumber as he saw in the audience more pickles than cucumbers. Without much thought one would express great surprise at the subject, and ask the question. What can you say about a cucumber that would interest people. But after the speaker described the growth of the cucumber and on its maturity and its usefulness, he compared the young cucumber to young children. He said that if parents would train their children in the right way during the first eight years of their development, after that age it would be a comparatively easy task to continue that training until they reached manhood and womanhood. If the child is allowed to have his own way, he said, until he is eight years of age and then the parent undertakes to train him, he will have a pickle on his hands. That is, in preparing the cucumber for pickle, it is first put into brine and allowed to remain in that brine for several days; after that it is put into vinegar and we have a pickle, and that pickle will never return to a cucumber no matter what you do to it. So if a child is allowed to have its own way until it is eight years old no manner of coaxing or whipping can change the course of that child. Another thought which Rev. Moore impressed upon the young men and of every pupil who has done the work which the Normal School must demand in the only way it can accept it because of the importance of the work of teaching the children of the race as we hope to be trained to do.

Business League Election Postponed At a meeting of the local Negro Business League held last Monday, June 6, for the purpose of electing delegates to the National League Convention and also for the annual election of officers, it was decided by a majority vote of those present to postpone action on each of the above until next Monday night, June 13, the regular June meeting of the local League. At the opening of the meeting last Monday night, President Pittman stated the nature of the meeting, and gave a very interesting and comprehensive report of the present work including many of the more important things that the league had accomplished under his administration for the past two years. In his short talk he touched upon many of the short-comings of the league but as a whole expressed great hope in the future life of the league, and complimented the league upon its excellent showing in the class of the membership that com- An interesting summary of the negro's possessions and occupations in the state of Georgia impressed the audience with the negro's capacity for development in industrial and social directions, and a list of negroes of attainment that the speaker read gave further insight. But only a few have had a chance. Even the negro children of some parts of the South cry out, "Won't somebody come and help we 'uns." Eeverywhere is the cry of the race come out of slavery to be heard. The work that offers is one of industrial development of a people, but it is also one of moral regeneration and of saving of souls. The Aim of the Durham School. Gov. Glenn told of the exact plan of the Durham school, for which he has come North to gain aid. The people of Durham gave 30 acres of land and raised $25,000. But they can't do it all. Much more is needed. North Carolina is no healthy state, they have come to Massachusetts, which is so interested in the negro, and to the North. The school will teach the girls how to knit, sew and cook, how to make good wives and good teachers; it will teach the men how to make bricks and how to lay them; how to shoe horses, how to become mechanics. Further, it will train them to think, to discern, and to understand their relations to the country as a whole. Last, but not least, the school will teach negro women to be purer mothers, and negro men to become honest citizens and good Christians. J. M. LANGSTON PORTRAIT FUND John M. Langston, the Rich Friend and, Benefactor. Last Wednesday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Henry E. Baker, 2822, 11th street Northwest, an organization was perfected known as The John M. Langston Portrait Fund. The object of the new organization is to collect a sufficient amount of money by popular subscription to have a handsome portrait of the late John M. Langston made to be placed in Howard University. The following officers were elected: Attorney Thomas L. Jones, president; Mr. Geo. H. De Ruy, clerk in the Municipal Court, secretary, and Prof. Geo. M. Cook, of Howard University, treasurer, to whom all monies must be sent. Executive committee: Attorney W. Calvin Chase, chairman; Dr. John R. Francis, Mr. Jesse Lawson, Mr. Geo. H. Lee Ruf. Rev. W. Scott Wood, and Mr. H. E. Baker. Popularity, popularity, popularity—wonder who the popular teachers are? OUR CHILDREN MR. BRUCE MAKES AN APPEAL To Pastors-Over Worked Attendance Officer. June 3, 1910. To the Pastor: There are many evidences of the fact that hundreds of our children between, say, 6 and 14 years of age are not enrolled in the local public schools. A trustworthy estimate of the aggregate number of such children is, of course, impossible, but one may safely say that the number runs up into four figures.

On the other hand, the classmates have her hand pretty full with the work of actual teaching although she has done and will continue to do all in her power to get the children into school and to keep them there. However, it is necessary, I am convinced, for every good citizen to cooperate actively with the school organization in this vital matter. Aren't you willing as a minister of the gospel to do your share of this public service?—and to persuade as many other men and women as possible in your church and elsewhere to go and do likewise? They can help importantly by sending me the names and addresses of as many children from 6 to 14 years of age as, they happen to know, have not attended school during the term 1909-10. If possible, the following items should be sent in: (1) name of delinquent pupil, (2) sex, (3) age, (4) street address, and (5) name of pupil's parent or guardian. I am confident that you will cooperate with me in this matter. Reports of delinquent pupils may be helpfully sent in during June, July, August, and September. For any advice or suggestion or other assistance which you may give me in this crusade on behalf of the men and women of the future and the honor of the Capital of the Nation, I shall be thanked. Very sincerely yours, ROSCOE C. BRUCE, Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools, D. C. Rev. and Mrs. L. C. Moore Furnish the Literary Program at the Eppworth League Meeting Sunday Evening, June 5, at Israel C. M. E. Church. In spite of the inclement weather many of the members and friends of the Israel C. M. E. Church, came out on Sunday Evening at 6 o'clock, and were entertained by the instructive and interesting program furnished by Rev. Moore and his wife. After singing several inspiring hymns, Mrs. Addison, President of the Epworth League of that church, read a selection composed by Rev. L. C. Moore, on "Bible Reading." In this selection Rev. Moore endeavored to set forth the reasons why some people read the Bible. Mrs. Addison in reading the selection, which was written in poetry, executed the same with much precision. Mrs. L. C. Moore read an essay on "Health and Contentment." Many good and practical points were brought out in the essay, especially the lesson of sacrifice, or in other words denying one's self of many things in order to save anything for a rainy day. "The Holy City" was rendered by Miss Rust Delaney, a young miss, in a very pleasing manner. All who heard her were of the opinion that if she continues singing as she sang Sunday evening, in a few years she will be the "star" singer of this section. The young miss who performed at the piano deserves great praise. Rev. L. C. Moore was introduced as the speaker of the evening. His subject was "The Cucumber." In speaking of his subject he said that he would not dwell long on the cucumber as he saw in the audience more pickles than cucumbers. Without much thought one would express great surprise at the subject, and ask the question. What can you say about a cucumber that would interest people. But after the speaker described the growth of the cucumber and on to its maturity and its usefulness, he compared the young cucumber to young children. He said that if parents would train their children in the right way during the first eight years of their development, after that age it would be a comparatively easy task to continue that training until they reached manhood and womanhood. If the child is allowed to have his own way, he said, until he is eight years of age and then the parent undertakes to train him, he will have a pickle on his hands. That is, in preparing the cucumber for pickle, it is first put into brine and allowed to remain in that brine for several days; after that it is put into vinegar and we have a pickle, and that pickle will never return to a cucumber no matter what you do to it. So if a child is allowed to have its own way until it is eight years old no manner of coaxing or whipping can change the course of that child. Another thought which Rev. Moore impressed upon the young men and young women was that of making good use of their opportunities. He urged them not to flit their time away, but to spend nights in burning the midnight灯 in order that they may delive into the great well of literature and science. He told them to strive for positions of trust and honor. The honor and respect of parents was another point upon which he laid great emphasis, exhorting the young men not to stand off and see an aged father carrying a heavy load without offering him the least assistance. In fact Rev. Moore grew eloquent as he pictured to the young people their duty toward a faithful mother and devoted father; the sacrifices made by them in order that their children might enjoy the opportunities which they were deprived of, and that nothing was too good for them to bestow upon their aged parents during the remainder of their lives. The exercises were closed with singing. THEIR POSITION DEFINED Washington, D. C., June 6, 1910. To the Editor of the Washington Bee: We feel it proper to ask you to read and publish our statement with reference to the articles which have been appearing in your paper respecting the treatment of Armstrong graduates by Normal School No. 2. 1. As graduates of the Armstrong School we are more than grateful for the training received there, and are proud to be able to carry Armstrong's banner and inspiration into a higher school. 2. As students of Normal School No. 2 we have been made to see the work of teaching as one of the most important activities' of our time and to our people, as the Bee itself has so often and so well contended, and we can now appreciate the reasons for the high standards in the Normal School. 3. The competition is very great in every course in the Normal School, because we all want to be independent, and many of us are striving to make some return to our families for the help given in years past. 4. In all activities in the Normal School we have been judged by reference to the greatest good of the little children we may be called to teach, and not by reference to any act or earlier condition of our experiences at home or school. 5. Few pupils are doing the work with more adverse conditions than we, or with greater fairness and consideration for our every effort, and we are sure to get what we merit, no more. 6. In writing this letter we are confident we are, stating the experience of every pupil who has done the work which the Normal School must demand in the only way it can accept it because of the importance of the work of teaching the children of the race, as we hope to be trained to do.

At the opening of the meeting last Monday night President Pittman stated the nature of the meeting, and gave a very interesting and comprehensive report of the past year's work, including many of the more important things that the league had accomplished under his administration for the past two years. In his short talk he touched upon many of the short-comings of the league but as a whole expressed great hope in the future life of the league, and complimented the league upon its excellent showing in the class of the membership that composed the league, willingness in which the members have contributed their means and assistance in making the league what it is to-day. President Pittman, both by a strong personal letter to each member of the league and his report, declined to have his name considered for another term on account of his inability to devote the proper time, and of his multitude of duties here and elsewhere relative to his own private work. Among those whose names were prominently mentioned to succeed to the presidency of the league at this election are: Messrs. John W. Lewis, George F. Collins, L. M. King, and Robert L. Waring. It is hoped by next Monday night interest may be sufficiently aroused that there may be a large portion of the membership present to insure a very interesting meeting, and an election of officers that will prove a benefit to the league and the work of the ensuing year. Let every member be present to vote for his candidate not only for president but for all officers of the league whether they be newly elected or reelected. A very interesting meeting is anticipated. The Book-lovers The Book-lovers held their closing meeting for the present season at the residence of Mrs. Henry E. Baker 2822 Sherman Avenue, on last Saturday evening, when the members present, besides the hostess, were Mrs Geo. W. Cook, Mrs B. K. Bruce, Mrs Rosetta E. Lawson, Mrs Jno. R. Francis, Mrs A. F. Hilyer, Mrs Lavana Moss, Miss Lucinda Cook, of Baltimore, and Miss Marion P. Shadd The program, which was begun with quotations selected from the works of Browning, consisted of a brief review of Browning's "The Ring and the Book," to a close study of which the club has devoted the entire season for the past two years. With the program finished, the members transacted quickly the business matters that come up annually at the closing meeting, such as the election of officers and the adoption of a program of work for the ensuing year. Mrs. B. K. Bruce, whose term as president of the club expired at this meeting, was succeeded by Mrs. Henry E. Baker as president for the next two years, and Mrs. A. F. Hilyer was re-elected to succeed herself as secretary for a similar term. The remainder of the evening was spent socially, during which a delightful repast was served by the hostess. Now is the time to vote for your among the teachers. Keep your eyes on the voting contest among the teachers. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS By Miss G. B.

It was my privilege to know the To the Greatest American Humorist. late Samuel L. Clemens for a number of years. The first time I met him was at his home in Hartford. Later I met him several times at his home in New York City and at the Lotus Club. It may be I became attached to Mr. Clemens all the more strongly because both of us were born in the South. He had the Southern temperament, and most that he has written has the flavor of the South in it. His interest in the negro race is perhaps best in one of his most delightful stories, "Huckleberry Finn." In this story, which contains many pictures of Southern life as it was fifty or sixty years ago, there is a poor, ignorant negro boy who accompanies the heroes of the story, Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, on a long journey down the Mississippi on a raft. It is possible the ordinary reader of this story has been so absorbed in the adventures of the two white boys that he did not think much about the part that "Jim"—which was, as I remember, the name of the colored boy—played in all these adventures. I do not believe any one can read this story closely, however, without becoming aware of the deep sympathy of the author in "Jim." In fact, before one gets through with the book, one cannot fail to observe that in some way or other the author, without making any comment and without going out of his way, has somehow succeeded in making his readers feel a genuine respect for "Jim," in spite of the ignorance he displays. I cannot help feeling that in this character Mark Twain has, perhaps unconsciously, exhibited his sympathy and interest in the masses of the negro people. My contact with him showed that Mr. Clemens had a kind and generous heart. I think I have never known him to be so stirred up on any one question as he was on that of the cruel treatment of the natives in the Congo Free State. In his letter to Leopold, the late King of the Belgians, in his own inimitable way he did a service in calling to the attention of the world the cruelties practised upon the black natives of the Congo that had far-reaching results. I saw him several times in connection with his efforts to bring about reforms in the Congo Free State, and he never seemed to tire of talking on the subject and planning for better conditions. As a literary man he was rare and unique, and I believe that his success in literature rests largely upon the fact that he came from among the common people. Practically all that he wrote had an interest for the commonest man and woman. In a word, he succeeded in literature as few men in any age have succeeded, because he stuck close to nature and TRIO. mf pp mf D.S. al Fine. Belle Fille. De Seville. 2 pp—zd p. to the common people, and in doing so he disregarded in a large degree many of the ordinary rules of rhetoric which often serve merely to cramp and make writers unnatural and uninteresting. Few, if any, persons born in the South have shown in their achievements what it is possible for one individual to accomplish to the extent that Mr. Clemens has. Surrounded in his early childhood by few opportunities for culture or conditions that tended to give him high ideals, he continued to grow in popular estimation and to exert a wholesome influence upon the public to the day of his death. The late Mr. H. H. Rogers, who was, perhaps, closer to Mr. Clemens than any one else, said to me at one time that Mr. Clemens often seemed irritated because people were not disposed to take him seriously; because people generally take most that he said and wrote as a mere jest. It was this fact to which he referred, I have no doubt, when at a public meeting in the interest of Tuskegee at Carnegie Hall a few years ago, he referred to himself in a humorous vein as a moralist, saying that all his life he had been going about trying to correct the morals of the people about him. As an illustration of the deep earnestness of his nature, I may mention the fact that Mr. Rogers told me that at one time Mr. Clemens was seriously planning to write a life of Christ, and that his friends had hard work to persuade him not to do it for fear that such a life might prove a failure or would be misunderstood. As to Mark Twain's successor, he can have none. No more can such a man as Mark Twain have a successor than could Phillips Brooks or Henry Ward Beecher. Other men may do equally interesting work in a different manner, but Mark Twain, in my opinion, will always stand out as an unique personality, the results of whose work and influence will be more and more manifest as the years pass by.

Net Even a Philharmonic Palace Will Be Tolerated on Proud Paris Tho- oughfare and Children's Paradise Along its Course. Paris.—The probability that the Champs Elysees, the noblest avenue in the world, will always be preserved as an artistic promenade and a children's paradise has been strengthened by action just taken by the municipal council of Paris. The council not only refused to grant a permit for the construction of a Philharmonic palace on the site of the now defunct summer circus, but voted to investigate concessions previously granted, looking to the removal of some of the music halls and restaurants now flourishing there. This official action is in keeping with the true Parisian spirit. The one occasion on which the Frenchman loses his persecutions without a murmur is when an expenditure for municipal embellishment is proposed. No other city watches over the beauty of its boulevards and parks with such zealous care. Successing municipal administrations differ widely on all other points, but, whether the government is nationalist or socialist, its first aim is invariably to maintain intact the artistic inheritance of Europe's most beautiful capital. There was almost a revolt, 19 years ago, when a tramway company asked a concession for a track across the avenue in a side street. This right was finally bestowed but had the council granted a subsequent application for a track along the Champagne Myres itself the lives of the city regulators would have been threatened by an argued populace. The single track across the driveway has always been regarded as a scarc. It is not improbable that in a few years the tramway company will be required to construct a tunnel beneath the surface of the street. It is by underground passages that the city already is proposing to handle the foot traffic without interfering with the perpetual stream of vehicles or marving the beauty of the thoroughfare through the construction of vaults. The first of these matters ```markdown ``` Garden of the Tullieries, Paris. ranean passages, leading from side to side of the Avenue des Champs Elysees, has only recently been opened. If this proves as popular as is expected other such tunnels will be constructed under other busy tareets, notably the grand boulevards. The parkway known as the Champs Elysees, or Elysian Fields, was laid out near the end of the seventeenth century. It was called the Grand Courts at first and was given its present name in the time of Louis XVI. The avenue itself is more than a mile long and is lined from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, with pine, lime and chestnut trees. The promenade is the favorite afternoon drive of the fashionable world of Paris and it is there that the badaud, or French cockney, is seen to perfection. On one side is a park, 750 yards long and 40 wide, which is filled with cafes chantants and such amusements and amusement-providers for children as jugglers, marionettes, merry-go-rounds and chocolate vendors. Here idolizing parents stand for hours watching their petit bonhommes caracolling on wooden horses, while la bonne, in a snowy cap, holds the babies. At night the thoroughfare, brilliantly illuminated, offers a vivid suggestion of fairyland. The Avenues des Champs Elysees is one of the "lunga" of Paris. At each end and all about it are places of importance in the life and history of the city and the state. It almost skirts the River Seine, the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, where there are great art exhibitions, separating the park from the quays at one point. An avenue starting at the Champs Elysees, between the two buildings, crosses the river on the beautiful Pont Alexandre III, and leads to Napoleon's tomb. On the opposite side of the Champs Elysees is the Palais de l'Elysees, the official residence of the president of France. It was once the home of Mme. de Pompadour and was occupied in later years, successively, by Murat, Napoleon L., Louis Bonaparte and Quesen Hortense, Emperor Alexander L. and Duc de Berri. The throngs of motorists, carriage drivers, horse riders and bicyclists who visit the Bols de Boulogne traverse the Avenues des Champs Elysees first. Beyond the Are the Avenue de Bols de Boulogne leads up past Princess de Sagan's palace marble palace to the famous woods. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS Atlanta, Ga., May 30.—Fully 4,000 people crowded in the Atlanta Auditorium yesterday afternoon to to witness the closing session of the National Baptst Sunday School Congress, which had been in session since last Wednesday, and was the most successful ever held. People were present from all parts of the country, and every race and color under the sun were represented, either as delegates or visitors. Some of the leading white people of the city were present, and the speakers were selected from both races, and the singing by a choir of 300 voices was one of the features of the program. The chorus was under the direction of Rev. N. H. Pius, of Nashville, who has charge of the Teachers' Training Class, and Prof. F. J. Work, of Nashville, Tenn. Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, assistant secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, and secretary of the Congress, was pleased with the results. He had labored hard to bring about success. "We intend to change conditions, for our people," he said, "through the Sunday School, one of the greatest mediums on earth. Every requirement for racial development is being met in various ways. The Sunday School is doing its part. We must meet and study Sunday School work, and it is necessary that we know more about the Bible." Rev. E. M. Griggs, of Palestine, Texas, made the opening prayer yesterday afternoon at the Auditorium, and a short address was made by Dr. C. H. Clark, the president. The speakers were Revs. R. H. Boyd, D.D., of Nashville; W. F. Graham, D.D., of Richmond, Va.; B. D. Gray, D. D., corresponding secretary of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, and B. N. Broughton, of Raleigh, N. C. "The Necessity of a Congress" was the subject of the address delivered by the Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham. This address contained sound practical advice to the workers present. The speaker showed that the Congress was a Sunday School institute, and it was necessary that every official of a Sunday School should study Sunday School methods, should exchange ideas, just as the physicians, lawyers, school teachers and other professional men and women. The Sunday School teacher stood next to the preachers in preparing people for living both here and hereafter. The Rev. Dr. Gray expressed the interest of the white Baptists of the South in the work of the colored Baptists, as did the Rev. Dr. Broughton, of North Carolina. The address delivered by Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker, of Augusta, will long live in the hearts of those who promptu informal reception given by heard it. He was at his best. The Congress was successful from every viewpoint. It opened Wednesday morning, May 25, in the Liberty Baptist Church. The beautiful auditorium was crowded each day. Rev. C. N. Douglass read the opening Scripture lesson, and the opening prayer was made by the Rev. J. F. Thomas, of Chicago. Following an address by Rev. R. H. Boyd and Dr. C. H. Clark, chairman of the National Baptist Publishing Board the Rev. Dr. J. W. Jackson, pastor of Liberty Baptist Church, delivered an address of welcome, turning over to the Convention the keys of a church organized two years ago, purchased a church building, paid for it and was entirely free from debt, the members having raised over $2,000 in one Sunday. Other addresses were delivered by Rev. A. A. Matthis, State Sunday School missionary, on behalf of the State; Deacon R. L. Jones, president City Sunday School Uniou, on behalf of the Sunday Schools; Rev. E. R. Carter, D. D., pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, on behalf of the Baptist ministry and churches; Rev. C. M. Tanner, pastor Bethel A. M. E. Church, on behalf of the A. M. E. Church; Charles W. Daniel, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church, on behalf of the white citizens. The addresses were responded to by Hon. George W. Hayes, of Cincinnati, O., who, for a number of years, served as a member of the Ohio Legislature, and, while having a busy, active life, is superintendent of the Mound Madden Bros. Inc.

Many addresses were delivered on phases of Sunday School work. Each member felt inspired. The brain of the race was represented in the meeting. There were present doctors, lawyers, bankers, merchants, editors, reporters, ministers, business men and women, authors, educators, college presidents, teachers of public schools and colleges. Seventeen States were represented. Among the visitors were. Revs. J. E. Ford, pastor of the Bethel Institutional Church, Jacksonville, Fla.; A. W. Puller, Tuskegee, Ala.; J. A.

Walker declared that the Negro Baptists should be the salt of the earth. There were many invitations for the next session of the Congress. Resolutions were passed thanking the people for courtesies, the members of Liberty Baptist Church, Rev. Allen Boyd, the Secretary, J. A. Eaterly, who assisted the secretary, and the railroads for courtesies and special rates. Headed by Secretary H. A. Boyd, the delegation from Nashville entered Atlanta in two special standard Pullman sleeping cars. (From Stewart's National Press Bureau, Chas. Stewart, president and manager.)

There are many colored families who are living in crowded houses on small plots of land in towns or cities who want real freedom and real opportunity for themselves and for their children. It is very difficult to rear children in a crowded town or city. The place to rear children is in the country. In Macon County, Alabama, the colored people have a rare and exceptional opportunity. This is the county in which The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is located. There is plenty of good land for sale.on easy terms. There is a good schoolhouse, and the school term lasting from seven to eight months in every part of the county. The white people in Macon County are of the very best class. There is no disorder or racial trouble. We advise colored people who are now living in crowded towns or cities, in the North or in the South, and especially those who have children to raise to come to Macon County and buy a home where they can get plenty of land to cultivate and rear their families in the county free from the temptations of the cities and towns.

TERRETLI.,. It is so strange that some col- ored people dislike to see their own successful in life. The mo- ment one elevates himself there are hundreds to pull him down. The white cannot help being sur- prised. The case in question is that of Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court. To-day the Executive Committee of the Trustee Board of Howard Uni- versity, will meet for the purpose of considering :the appointment of Judge Robert H. Terrell as a member of the faculty of the law department of Howard Univer- sity. Judge Terrell’s opponents are a few colored men, as usual, who are failures themselves and dislike to see others succeed. There is not a white man on the board who opposes Judge Terrell, and those ‘who are opposed to him The Bee will, in its next issue, tell its readers, who they are, and compare their record with that of Judge Terrell. As a Municipal Judge, his record stands above re- proach. He is respected by the entire bar, irrespective of color. ‘The Judges of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia have the highest regard for him. His assaciates speak of Judge Terrell in the highest terms. But Mr. Colored Man is opposed to him because he does succeed, in spite of his abuses and failures. The reasons that are given will not compare with the record of the opposition, and when The Bee publishes their names the people will say, “Where do they get their nerve?” The appointment of Judge Terrell as a member of the law faculty of Howard Univer- sity, will add to the law depart- ment. Strong men are needed in this department, and there is every reason to believe that the President of Howard University will add greatly to the law de: partment. There is not a colored member of the bar who doesn’t respect Judge Terrell. His judg- ment is good and his decisions equitable. He knows no man by the color of his skin or the curl of his hair. The Bee is confident that the Jaw alumni of Howard University will indorse the selec- tidn, because he will teach the Jaw as it is practiced in our courts to-day.. The Beg voices the senti- ment of the true friends of How- ard University. THE COLORED VOTER. ‘The éolored political agitators in ahis country have beconic disgruntled with the Administration and the Re- publican party. There are a few who are not satisfied ith anything, and they are urging the colored voter to forsake the party which was instru: /memal in giving them freedom, ‘The colored voter cainot consist- ently support the Democratic party as a whole. because that party has taken ‘from him every right guaran: teed by the Constitution, ‘The col: ered voter should remember that therc is nothing in the Democratic party for him, He oyght to know that the Democratic party of today has de- elared that the colored American has ab rights tliat the white man is bound to respect. It is also true that there are a few Democrats in this country who are human and believe in pro- tecting colored Americans in theit civil and political rights. As an ex- ample, take for instance the tour of ex-Governor Glenn, of North Caro- lina, with that distinguished South- erner, Dr. James E Shepard, of Dur- ham, N. C Read in this week's is- sue what this distinguished Democrat. said in the North in the interest of the National Colored Religious Train- ing School at Durham, N. C, The utteraces of Mr. Glenn are‘the opin- ion of the liberal white South today. There is a liberal sentiment growing in behalf of colored Americans. II the Democratic party would be more liberal toward the black man, God would permit it to succeed, but He will never permit wrong and oppres sion to exist to operate against any nationality.” ‘The Democratic ‘party in the Stat of Maryland has done its uttermos to deprive colored Americans of theit civil and political rights. The col jored man cannot afford to ally him self with the Democratic party, JUSTICE WRIGHT, ~ Justice Danie] Thew Wright decid- ed that the child of Mr. Stephen B, Wall is colored. Under the circum- stances he could do nothing else. There are some colored people in this city who have made every effort td get away from their race. No one ‘can. say ‘that Judge Wright is color prejudiced nor can it be said that he would decide a case against a col- ored person because he is colored. He is ohe man upon the bench of the Supreme Court who never picks his men, ll beings look alike to him when he is dispensing justice. The editor of The Bee, as he has said before, is proud of his people; that is, those who behave themselves and make an effort to obey the law and be good citizens, If our colored schools are not good enough for Mr. Wall, The Bee would advise him to establish a school of his own and ad- mit all of the half-white Negroes who are going inSane to associate with white people. There are at least four or five men in office today who secured their appointments by virtue of being identified with the colored race, but today they have gone Droke in an effort to be recdgnized as white. If you mect them upon the public street they will not recognize theit former associates and companions There is one colored individual in office now who has been posing as z Spaniard and whose mother was a: black as Nord Alexis, and whom he never recognized or brought her ou! in public.

In their speeches at Springfield, Mass., Mr. Glenn de- fined_his position on the color question in no uncertain tone. ‘The subject of his address was “The national problem of the negro race in the moral and re- ligious development. and a protest against the so-called statesmen who come from the South and from all over the land. abusing the colored race.” He emphasized over and over again his devout interest in their welfare.

The Dorothy Dare letter, published in a certain alleged newspaper nearly always is about the sickliest, silliest conglomeration of nonsense ever palmed off on an unsuspecting public. But the letter last wéek went beyond the sickly, silly point and became positively offensive. Never before has any Washington newspaper, claiming character and decency, had the au- dacity ta couple the names of single ladies with gentlemen in the manner they were coupled in last week's alleged Dorothy Dare's letter. That there was great indignation expressed by all the ladies who heard of it is putting the case mildly. They fairly stormed over the outrage on decency and propriety, and some have dis- cussed bringing the matter before the authorities in order to prevent a repe- tition of the offense. The Bee has heard nothing but condemnation. of it. The character, standing and presumed modesty of young women is obviously too dear to them, and their families and friends to be coupled without war- rant or license with the names of mien, in public print. As long as Dorothy Dare inflicted upon readers its—and we put Dorothy in the neuter gender, silly babblings, the public stood it un- Eomplainmely, though it was awfully tiresome, but the mothers,-fathers, and brothers of Washington young worhen will not stand for their daughters and sisters names being coupled, in public prints, with the names of Tom, Dick and Harry. The Bee is voicing the | sentiment of all decent people, and especially, the young women who feel they have been outraged, It is sait one father was so stirred up that il required all kinds of pleadings to pre- vent his going to the office to give the editors a cowhiding. OUR NORMAL SCHOOL. Mrs, A. M, Curtis is circulating a petition among the citizens having for its object a protest against the building of a Normal School for Col- ored children at the corner of Fourth ne College streets northwest. The Leer sets forth that the location 13 undesirable; that the kind of school the colored want in that section is a school of reformation, ’ | The Colored Normal School gives the finishing touches to our colored children after they have been drawn thfough the mill or the refinery. The petition is addressed to the president of the Board of Education, Captain Oyster. The Bee can assure the pe- tioners that the president of theBoard of Education may be relied on to do his duty toward the people, and if the objections raised are plausible, the wishes of the petitioners will be very promptly granted. - The Bee is aware that this school is inaccessible to the cars, and in the’ winter it will work a hardship to the pupils, . Who selected this plot of ground? Were the people, consulted? The Bec hopes that Captain Oyster will grant the request of the people.

Everyone whi has been bearing the burden in the Heat of the day to the exten that Mr. Trotter has, we shouk imagine would have a place in the «Amen corner. What is the tronble/ REV. S. N. BROWN, The Brx voices the sentiment of the alumni of Howard University and throughout the country when it says that Dr. Sterling N. Brown is entitled to the professorship in the theological department made vacant by the death of Rey. John L. Ewell. Dr. Brown has not only the endorsement of every educator, teacher and laymen in the United States, but there is not a dissent- ing voice against him. ‘ Dr. Thirkield can and ought to see that this promotion be made as it will bring to the University strong and influential friends, The University cannot afford to lose such a valuable man as Dr, Brown. His services should be recognized and the people’ will watch this ap- pointment with a jealous eye. Any other appointment will add de- struction to the University.

Sidney Pittman, 491 Louisiana Ave. On the evening of the second of this month there was organized in Fairmount Heights a woman's auxiliary to the Fairmount Heights Citizen's Association. The name of this auxiliary is the Fairmount Heights Ladies Improvement Club. It is the object of this club to take an active part in the upbuilding of the community, and to raise means in various ways to help improve the highways, maintain lights, etc. This is a most worthy movement on the part of the ladies of Fairmount Heights and they are entitled to every consideration on the part of the men of the Citizen's Association in the form of every encouragement that might lead to the success of the club. The president of the Fairmount Heights Citizen's Association has addressed a personal letter to the president and members of the club congratulating and tendering his services in every possible way to assure them the support of the Citizen's Association and of their gratitude for the intent and purposes of this women's auxiliary. In the organizing of this club the citizens of Fairmount Heights are assured of a growing desire on the part of the well disposed people in the community to get together and labor for the upbuilding and for the promotion of their good cause. The names of the officers and membership of this club as well as the plans that they may decide upon will be published in a subsequent issue of this paper. Mr. Chas. L. Marshall who formerly kept a grocery store on H street northeast, near North Capitol street, has recently built a store in Fairmont Heights, adjoining his residence, and from all reports is making a success of his venture.

One of Fairmount Heights' most progressive and enterprising citizens is Mr. Thomas M. Redmon.

It is learned that Mr. Redmon secured this home at a great bargain and he is to be congratulated. Mrs. W. Sidney Pittman is entering largely into the community life of Fairmount Heights, and is exhibiting every desire to be of service to the community.

She has decided to give a lawn party on the 17th of June on the lawn of her beautiful residence at the head of 61st street northeast.

The entire proceeds are to be donated to the Fairmount Height Citizens' Association for improvement of the streets, lights, etc. Those Who Have Been Voted For.

Peter Grogan nd Sona Co. 817-23 7th St. --- and the Conservatory colors. On the stage were seated members of the faculty and many distinguished citizens including Congressman Madden of Illinois, who addressed the graduating class in one of the most interesting and instructive speeches heard in a long time. Congressman Madden, a man of distinguished appearance, gave just the kind of pointed talk that would impress the mind of the graduate and at the same time his remarks carried a message of "ambition and work" to each member of the vast audience. The graduating class numbered eleven and each member showed the careful training and high appreciation of his art that has always been so noticeable at this flourishing school. The first number on the program was Rubinstein's beautiful Trio Op. 52, the different movements being played on the piano by Henry Grant and Miss Desiree Catlett, assisted by Mr. Fortune, violinist and Mr. Jeter, cellist. Both Mr. Grant and Miss Catlett gave fine interpretations of their respective parts. Two very enjoyable numbers on the program were the "March Wind" and the Concerto in D Minor by the American composer, the late Edward MacDowell. The former selection being tastefully played by Miss Cornelia Barton and the Concerto played by Miss Daisy O. Westbrooke, assisted by Mr. Grant at the second piano. Miss Ruth Grimshaw gave Leschetizy's Arabesque and the solo part of Schumann's magnificent Concerto in A Minor in a most brilliant manner, assisted by an orchestra made up of Washington's most prominent string and wind instrument players, including Messrs. Clarence White, Felix Weir, L. Jeter and H. S. Fortune. The orchestra was conducted by Mrs. Harriet Gibbs-Marshall, president of the Conservatory. Miss Hattie Holmes assisted at the second piano. Mrs. Williams, a student in the school of expression, gave a reading as did also Mr. Nathaniel Guy, a graduate of the class of 1906. Both showed in a most positive manner the splendid work being done in this department by Mrs. Coralie Franklin-Cook, who has this department in charge. Miss Helen Moss gave Greig's "To the Spring" and Chopin's Revolutionary Etude in a most satisfactory manner. Mr. Cleveland Lemons played with fine technique and feeling Greigs Sonata Op. 7. Miss Barton showed her versatility by singing in a charming manner Coleridge-Taylor's "She rested by the broken Brook" and Harry T. Bureligh's beautiful "Jean." Mendelssohn's Rondo Capriccio was played by Miss Florence Camper and the young pianist gave a splendid reading of this well known work. One number seldom heard here was the Hiller Concerto which was played with fine technique and much intelligence by Miss Celestine Lott with Miss Florence Camper at the second piano.

At the conclusion of this interesting and high class program the president, Mrs. Marshall made a few choice and interesting remarks, She was followed by Rev. A. C. Garner who told something of the aim of the Conservatory in its future Congressman Madden presented the diplomas to the. graduates and the scholarships to those who have been fortunate enough to be awarded them. It is quite evident from the many expressions of approval heard on all sides that the Washington citizens were greatly pleased with the excellent program, and when one realizes that this is the first graduating class of the first incorporated Conservatory of Music presided over by colored people in the whole world, one realizes just how important an event this was. Only seven years ago this Conservatory was launched by its president, Mrs. Harriet Gibbs-Marshall, herself a brilliant graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music and a lady of much culture and refinement. Mrs. Marshall has studied and travelled extensively both here and abroad, and being a keen observer brought to her enterprise a vast amount of experience that has enabled her to make the Washington Conservatory what it is today. Washington and the country at large should be proud of this school and its energetic president and her co-workers. The graduates were as follows Artists' course (piano and theory) Misses Ruth M. Grimshaw and Helen A. Moss, and Mr. Henry L. Grant, all of Washington, D. C. Teachers course (piano and theory —Miss Celestine E. Lott, Alexandria Va.; Florence M. Campers and Daisy C.

ATTORNEY GREEN NOMI- NATED Cleveland, Ohio, May 23, 1910. The Republicans of Cleveland have adhered to their time-honored policy of placing a colored man on the ticket. Attorney William R. Green was nominated Saturday. For some time it has appeared to party leaders an impossibility to renominate Representative Henry T. Eubanks. During the last session Mr. Eubanks, with two white Cleveland legislators, voted for the Elson Telephone Bill. While he no doubt voted honestly, public sentiment was against the measure. It proved to be the death-knell of Mr. Eubanks. The Cleveland Journal in an editorial last week withdrew support from Mr. Eubanks on the ground of party expediency and recommended the nomination of Alex H. Martin, William R. Green or Harry E. Da- A. M. B. vis, all attorneys. Martin was the first choice, but provision is to be made for him in a desirable appointment in the United States Attorney General's office at Washington, D. C. William R. Green, the second choice, was nominated. Mr. Green is the son of Hon. John P. Green, has practiced law here almost fifteen years, is president of The Cleveland Association of Colored Men, and captain of Company D, 9th Infantry, Ohio National Guards. He is married. Councilman Thomas W. Fleming made the nominating speech to Mr. Green. The nomination is another victory for the progressive young republicans of Cleveland, headed by Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, Nahum D. Brascher, Alex H. Martin, Samuel E. Woods and others. GET TOGETHER AND LIVE OR STAY APART AND DIE In this enlightened moving age.

House Where George Washington's Mother Lived and Died at Frederickburg Still Standing. Washington.—Not many tourists visit the house in which the mother of George Washington lived and died in Fredericksburg, Va. The Washington, or the branch of that large Washington family which played so great a role in American history, left the Pope's Creek's farm, later called "Wakefield," in Westmoreland county, about three years after the birth of George Washington. The family removed to another Washington farm in Stafford county on the north bank of the Rappanhannock river, opposite Fredericksburg. It was there that much of the boyhood of Washington was spent. It was there that the mythical exploits of chooping down Where Mother of George Washington Died. the cherry tree, etc., were performed. After George Washington and his brothers had left this farm and after the marriage of Betty Washington to Maj. Fielding Lewis of Fredericksburg, Mrs. Mary Washington bought a cottage in Fredericksburg, close to "Kentmore," the home of her daughter, and resided there many years. She died in that cottage August 25, 1789. The cottage is a plain two-story frame dwelling standing at the corner of Charles and Lewis streets—two village streets deep in dust or mud according to the weather. The house is heavily shaded by old sycamore trees and is furnished with Washington and other Virginia relics. It is owned and cared, for by the Society for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities. The superintendent is R. C. Beaulie who with his wife occupies the house. The big living room on the ground floor and to the left of the entrance is that in which Mrs. Washington died. As nearly as possible it is preserved as Mrs. Washington kept it. A rare old mahogany tester bed stands on that part of the floor where stood Mrs. Washington's bed. The original bed is owned by a member of the Washington family. The walls are lined with steel engravings which belonged to Mrs. Washington, and some of these were her property when she was Mary Ball, before her marriage to Augustine Washington, and came from her girlhood's home, "Epping Forest," in Lancaster county, about thirty miles from Fredericksburg. The room in the rear of this living and sleeping room was the dining-room, and the same table around which the Washingtons ate stands in the middle of the floor. The dining-room is bare of carpets or rugs and was in Mrs. Washington's time. The furnishings are plain and simple. HEADS BANKERS' ASSOCIATION Lewis E. Pierson, President of Big New York Financial Institution, Honored by Chicago Convention. Chicago.—Lewis E. Pierson, president of the Irving National Exchange bank of New York, was unanimously elected president of the American Bankers' association at the convention recently held in this city. President Pierson is 38 years of age A. H. Lewis E. Pierson. and a native of Metuchen, N. J. He was appointed cashier of the New York National Exchange bank in 1938 and subsequently was made vicepresident. He assumed the presidency January 12, 1904, at the age of 32 years. The New York National Exchange bank absorbed the Irving National bank in 1908, and Mr. Pierson retained the presidency of the enlarged institution. Bullfrogs a Campaign Issue.

Register of Wills for the District of Columbia. Clerk of the Probate Court Mr. Robert. Campbell, who has conducted an undertaker's establishment with much success at 340 F street S. W., has moved to his new home, 348 Second street S. W., Makinsey Scott's old place. This place has been remodeled and modern improvements added, which makes it one of the best undertaking places in the city. Mr. Campbell has spared no pains or expense to make this his new home attractive and convenient in every way. He has built a new stable in the rear of his house, equipped with elevators, and telephone connections. There are four telephones, two in the stable and two in the house. So it can be seen that this young business man, who has been so successful in this particular line, is fully prepared to give the public quick and satisfactory service. Robert Campbell's success is an example and an inspiration to the young colored man in Washington who is willing to work for success. VISITS DURHAM, N. C. Dr. David A.
