THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT VOL. III. LIBERIA EXPANDING. A number of officials of Liberia are arrived in England for the purpose of endeavoring to procure from Great Britain the right to migrate the ManNa river, which operates Liberia from Sierra Leone. The delegation, which consists of Secretary of the Tresury Barclay, Chief Justice Roberts and Senator King, who was the Liberian commissioner to the Chicago World's Fair, have had an interview with National Secretary Chamberlain, and negotiations to obtain the desired right are now in progress. Barclay, who has held the position of chief justice or about years, said to a representative of the Associatld Press: Liberia is progressing well. links for the firm stand of the United States and Great Britain, are untroubled with European pressure, though to tell the truth, are rather afraid of Germany who is so patiently on the look for colonies. However, I don't think she will get a chance to appreciate our country. understand that steps are on for the formation of an American line to West Africa. I believe it would be an advantageous undertaking as the oils, timber and products, now used in Liberia and other West Afrian countries from America but by Hngland. A direct service will obviate this miscarriage of its. Retrnr freights are still due but with the rapid development of the country,s mining industry, this difficulty should shorten overcome, while there is already of rubber. There is gold in India and a company has already formed to developp the mines. financially, Liberia is progressing. The hundred thousand pounds would wipe out all of her debts. Desidering that we have not received any financial assistance exchanged from American colonizatin, Liberia's standing compares favor with that of any other West African state. are getting a little Negro immi- mion from the United States. At best, indeed, it is hard for immi- nis to get work, for the na- ture willing to work for $3.00 month. Later there will be plen- opportunity for those cogni- f矿ing matters. If Ameri- Negroes would take up this job they would have a great on the wese coast where they and the climate twice as well white man." A WEALTHY NEGRO. The Danville, Va., Register says that probably the richest colored man in America is visiting that city. He was born a slave and is named Edward Dillard. He escaped from slavery in 1863 and locateg in Pittsburg where he made $2.50 a day shoveling pig iron and lived on 40 cents a day until he had saved $1,400 when he bought a horse and cart and began the peddling of coal and studdying his books at night. He later went to Chicago and opened a drug store which was burned in the Chicago fire for which he recieved $10,000 insurance. He opened upthe drug business again but soon soon sold it for $22,000 cash. He weut to Australia ane embarked in the cattle business and made a fortune.He has real estate in the heart of Chicago for which he recently refused an offer of more than $200,000. He owns valuable estate in Australia. While in the city he deposited two drafts with the Citizen's bank for $37,000 on the Melbourne, Australia, bank. He has found his son and daughter whom he had not seen for 37 years, living at Reidsville, N.C. He will now live and die in Virginia. He is worth between a quarter and a half million dollars. KEEP UP THEIR RATIO. Race Brief-bits. In an interview recently with the New York Tribune, Coneressman Livingstone, of Georgia, said: "I think the people of Georgia are against any disfranchisement amendment amendment of our State constitution. We are getting along nicely with the Negro in with the Negro in Georgia. The States which adopt the amendments which have already been adopted by Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina may see the time when Congress will take the matter up with a view to affecting their representation which of course would bring turmoil and strife and would re-open the issues of the civilwar." Vice President Roosevelt is a friend to the Negro race. Recently he appointed a Negro named Pinkney, who was his polite messenger when Governor of New York, messenger in the Senate. He was told that he had violated Senate preciyeet by appointing a Negro and that he had better reconsider it. Roosevelt Smiled, which shows that he was not to be frightened and said firmly: "Pinkney is appointed." In his recent annual address at commencement of the Livingstone College on "The Possibilities of Life, and How to Attain them," Bishop Alexander Walters said they they included wisdom, pnlpit and and school room, business, fine arts philosophy and science; and how to realize these possibilities is by adaptability to the trade or profession chosen, necessity of incessant effort and the possession of good character. William Giles, an ex-slave who cooked for Gen. Grant during the civil was died in Chicago June 26, He was born in Orange county, Va was quite wealthy but spent nearly all of it aiding slaves to escape to the North. The statement is now going the rounds of the press that three generations of a colored family have been graduated from Oberlin College, namely, John M. Langston in 1849 and his son Arthur D. Langston in 1877[ and now a teacher in St. Louis] and his grand son this year. If you have good health, you are in possession of nine-tenths of all that is required to make you happy. The impression that truth makes on you may be measured by your expression of it. A Grand Time. To say the least, the musical and literary at Peerless hall last Monday evening was a superb realization. The hall was crowded with those who hold in high esteem the fine arts of music and oratory, and who came also to witness the presentation of the gold ring to Miss Winnie Ray who was elected the most popular young lady in the city of wichita. The crowd began to arrive a little bit late but they all came in concert order and long before the beginning of the program, standing room only, was obtainable and the managers were forced to cart in an extra supply of seats. Those who responded to their names on the program did themselves credit and were the subjects of much favorable comment. The program was given in charge of Mr. S. O. Clayton who opened the exercises with a few remarks and introduced Mr. Richard Walker who delivered an oration on "The Secret of Progress." Mr. Walker's oration was full of logic and gave evidence of depth and force of thought. He is a young man of whom the colored people of Wichita should be proud and to him should be given every encouragement possible. Mr. John Edgerton's baritone solo was well rendered and served to more deeply endear him in the hearts of his many admirers and lovers of music. Miss Lula Parks' paper called forth a storm of applause as line after line of that excellent production was fastened in our hearts with the golden rivets of truth; and here we desire to say that the future prosperity of the Afro-American race rests largely with such worthy young ladies as Miss Parks. There is a vast field of labor before her and we feel assured that ere life's evening dawn she shall have acquitted herself nobly in the sight of God and her people. The bass solo by Mr. S. O. Clayton was greeted with delight by the large audience and the singer was forced to respond to a hearty encore. Miss Blanche Alexander gracefully presided at the piano and performed with charming accomplishment. A treat not on program was next in order. Our orator and scholar, W. A. Bettis, was called for and in his characteristic manner delivered an address that held the audience spellbound from start to finish. As an orator Mr. Bettis has but few equals in the great state of Kansas, and we are confident of the fact that the future holds great things in store for him. He is Wichita's boy, and the good people of Wichita should with-hold nothing from him that will prove to his betterment. Last on program was the presentation of the ring to Miss Winnie Ray, the most popular young lady in the city of Wichita. Miss Ray was escorted to the platform by Messrs. Lawson Finis and James Johnson, and with an appropriate address the presentation was made by Editor Miller. Miss Ray responded with a few fitting remarks and thus closed the written program for the evening. Miss Ray who was voted the most popular young lady of the city, is a beautiful and unassuming young lady who in the early years of life has made a host of friends that cling to her with devotion. She is a modest christian girl and an earnest worker in Church and Sundayschool. John Clinton, jr., who is organizing a movement for a national convention of Negro bankers to be held at Buffalo on September the 26th, is the president of the first colored bank North of Philadelphia. The convention will be the first of its kind ever held in America. Mr. Clinton is a native of Richmond, Va., 35 years old and a graduate of the Moor Street Industrial School. In 1890 he became the publisher of the first dailey news paper ever published by Negroes, but abandoned the editorial chair to study law, an ambition in which he succeeded so well af to secure admission to the Virginia bar in 1894. He soon acquired a large and profitable clientage in Ricomond and he invested his savings in the insurance business there. A few years ago he removed to Philadelphia. St. Louis:—Following close upon the heels of the organization in Chicago of the Servant Girl's Union, comes the organization of 7,000 Pullman porters with head quarters at St. Louis. The latter have appealed to the public to help them out their trouble is a rapid and steady decline in tipps, from which, they assert, they have been obliged for many years to make their living their salaries being insufficient to pay their expenses. They set forth in a notice to the public whose generosity they say they have been wont to rely upon, that the regulation tip to a porter of a sleeping car was formerly 25 cts; now it is ten or fifteen, cents and very often a mere "thanks." They make it yla they must have more' salary from the company under the new conditions. CHICAGO: -Sleeping car porters who are residents of Chicag are forming an organization for "mutual benefit, according to announcement made by Secretary Williams, of the uniot, to-day. It is called theRailway Men's Mercantile League and is said to be patterned after the one in St. Louis. Mr. Williams said he pid not care to give out details of the p'ans of the league at present. Edward Braxton, a colored coachman, has won the highest praise from the judges at the annual exhibition of the art school at Adelphi College, Brooklyn. He applied a year ago for admission to the night class and his progress was remarkable. Drink the Great Gueda Springs Water. Nature's own remedy. OUR WOMEN. It was but a geeration ago that the colored woman had no stand and that the term womanhood was not broad enough in this Christian republic to include women of African decent. Her birthright was supposed to be that of banishment from high social circles. In spite of the prejudice against her she has in, a remarkable way, emerged from obscurity and overchme the prejudice so that today she stands on such a level that no one would suppose her to have had and relationship with slavery in the recent past. That the colored women of today ae appreciating the value of culture and industries is shown by their readiness to enter all doors in this direction. Universities and professional industries of this country and Europe find colored women ready, as soon as permission is granted, to enter. There are very few professions and callings into which they are not winning their way in spite of the prejudice that would restrict them to the lower walks of life. There are physicians and dentists, and lawyers and linguists, musicians, stenographers and nurses in this rising race that are an adornment to the position they hold. Then truly then truly the colored women of to-day are a might propelling force in the great progress of the Afro-American race, and are the brilliant lights that lead the race to progress and success. HEAD Of THE FAMILY According to a recent law passed in Georgia, if a woman fails to manage her house according to her husband's ideas he is justified in insisting that his wishes in the matter shall be carried out, it is his privilege and not that, of thh mistress to determine what the servants ought to do and what they are not to do, the hours at which the meals shall be sereed and the menu for the different meals:—Palladium, Nashville, Tenn. BUT WILL THEY STAY? Many other ministers are agreeing with the Jersey genious who say the women are going to heaven but the men are going else where. None of the clergy, however, express an opinion as to how long the women are likely to continue to go to heaven the men don't. Just to keep her good [?] name before the people, Alabama indulges in another frightful human holocaust. Of course the victim is a Negro. THE SEARCHLIGHT. WICHITA, KANS. W. N. MILLER, Editor.

Last Monday night while the family were away from home and enjoying the festivities at Peerless hall, burglars entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Miller on West 14th street and secured in cash and other things valuables to the amount of about $30, taking over $20 in money. When Editor Miller Miller and wife reached home about 2 o'clock in the morning they were dumbfounded at the scene that met their gaze. Every room in the house had been ransacked and the entire interior looked as if it had been struck by a cyclone. The rogues made a thorough pillage both up stairs and down stairs, tearing out dresser and bureau drawers, breaking open trunks, upturning rugs, mattresses and bed clothing and thoroughly disordering everything in general. The money obtained was taken from Mrs. Miller's saving bank which the thieves broke open with a hatchet. The matter was at once reported to the police authorities but as yet no clue h s been obtained tending to lead to the detection of the guilty parties. It appears that those who did the work were acquainted with the fact that the entire family were away from home and that it was an opportune moment for the robbery.

State Secretaries Agree That Such Fairs Don’t Pay, AND ARE ~~ DEMORALIZING, Boston, Aug. 7.—The civie committee of Boston has sent a series of questions to the secretaries of all the state boards of agriculture, asking whether in their opinion the purely legitimate agrieui- tural fair or the “wide open” fair pays better in the long run financially, soci- ally and educationally. Opinions in reply have been received from twenty- three states, including two provinces of Canada, Without exception these officials say that the purely legitimate agricultural fair pays better financially in the long run; that the ,‘wide open” fair is not a financial success; that it is offensive to the better class of people, on whom the fair must rely for continued support, and is demoralizing to the surrounding community. ‘They are also unanimous for rigidly excluding all gamesof chance; for strict- ly prohibiting all aleohotie liquors, ex- cept California; and they severely con- demn vulgar tent shows and suggestive demonstrations on the outside of tents. As to whether cireus features tend to absorb time, strength and interest of patrons to any disadvantage to the ex- hibitions of farm, home, school and fae- tory products, the majority believe that they do, and therefore should not be encouraged. One-half of the writers lean tothe view that entertainments foreign to the real features of the fair should be done away with as fast as the people can be educated to appreciate the fair for its own sake. New Instructions. El Reno, Aug. 8.—Governor Richards has received another telegram of in- structions in connection with the filing, from Aeting Seceetary Ryan.

Porto Rican Climate. Kansas City, Aug. 7.—Aceording to a private communication received from Supreme Judge Sulzbacher, on the Dench in Porto Rieo, the summer in the island has been a most pleasant one. ‘The judge says that at no time has the mereury gone higher than the 80's and the nights have been exceedingly pleas- ant.

Santa Fe Will Get There. Topeka, Aug. 8.—The Santa Fe is planning to build a line into the Kiowa and Comanche country.

GENERAL STRIKE ORDERED. Order Is Expected tu Swell the Namber of Idle 3ten to 100,000. Pittsturg, Pa., Aug. 8—After weeks of preliminary skismishing, at last the great battle between the gigantic steel trust and the thousands of men mar- shaled under the banner of the Amal- gamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers is fairly on. The loni talked of strike order is issued by President Sheffer to take offect after the last turn of the mills on August 19, Mr, Shaffer's order says: “The ex- ecutive board has authorized me to issue a call upon all Amalgamated men and all other union men in name and heart to join in the movement to fight for labor's rights.” The o1er is expected to swell the number of idle men to over 100,000 at the end of the week. ‘The attitude of the Federation of Labor remains uncertain, and Mr. Shaffer is unwilling to disenss it, al- though support has been proffered by officials of the Federation. Many affiliated bodies of the Federa- tion have annual or long term contrcets with their employers, and beyond financial aid and moral support it is hard to tell how the Federation may Steol Gang Increasing. f Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 5.—The Union Pacific is using a large number of men on its steel gangs and a day has hardly passed in two or three months but from twelve to twenty-five men have been shipped out for work along the Union Pacific.

Kansas City, Aug. 7. — Exposition building, erected during the boom of 1887, at a cost of over $200,000, is de stroyed by fire. A boy among the crowd which had gathered to watch a large cireus that had pitched its tent across the street set fire in a spirit of mischief to some loose rubbish lyiag on the floor, In a moment the flame leap- ed beyond the control of the youngster and spread almost instantly through: out the whole building, which occupied a half block square.

Those repeaters will be arrested and prosecuted.” ! cuainisk deiees. _ Dallas, Texas, Aug. 8.—The first rain of any consequence that Dallas and ‘vicinity has had since last May has ‘been falling, The rainfall appears to ‘be very. general over an atea extend- ing approximately one hundred miles in all directions from this city.
