BRINGING NEGRO'S CASE INTO COURT.
Plans Perfected for Great Conference of Colored Americans in Washington Next Week—Workable Program for Race Protection to be Adopted—Additional Features.
(Thompson's National News Bureau Special to The Blade.)
Washington, D. C.—The "advice guard" of the delegates from all over the country to attend the Fourth Annual (or "Suffrage Session") of the National Race Congress of America, is already beginning to put in its appearance. Final wires from active agents in the field bring most encouraging messages, and the success of the great conference of Negro race builders is fully assured. It is evident that every state in the union, where there is an appreciable colored population will be represented, and by men and women who stand for the best thought, and most responsible activities of the race. With sanity and a clear vision for the practical, these constructive forces can be depended upon to adopt a strong and workable program for the protection of the 12,000,000 Colored Americans for whom they are commissioned to speak.
Sessions of Congress at Metropolitan Baptist Church.
President W. H. Jernigan makes announcement that there will be held three sessions daily at the spacious Metropolitan Baptist, Church, R Street, near 12th, opening on the morning of October 7th and continuing through the 11th. He directs particular attention, however, to the annual sermon, to be delivered on Monday evening, October 6th, by Rev. E. A. B. Cheek, of Newark, N. J. National Chaplain of the Congress, and it is urged that all delegates so arrange their coming as to be in the city at that time to hear this inspirational keynote and appeal for Divine guidance. Rev. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church, has planned every convenience for the comfort of the delegates, and arrivals should place themselves at once in touch with the national headquarters of the Congress, Third and Eye Streets, northwest, or with Dr. Norman and his reception committee at his church. Washington, proverbially hospitable, is extending its warmest welcome to all.
Additional Features of the Race Con
In addition to the splendid array of speakers and many outstanding features of the Race Congress already announced, it is expected that addresses will be presented by United States Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois, United States Senator Walter E. Edge of New Jersey, Representative L. C. Dyer of Missouri, Attorney William H. Harrison of Chicago; and Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington's Municipal Court. Addresses of welcome will be delivered by the Hon. Louis Brownlow, President of the Board of District Commissioners, and Rev. M. W. D. Norman, with responses by Rev. W. H. Stokes, of Richmond, Va., and others.
Capt. Edward L. Snyder of Philadelphia, who rendered efficient service overseas with a fighting regiment of the A. E. F., will present photographs of great historical value through an illustrated lecture on "The Accompilments of the Negro Soldier Abroad," and as a tribute to the Congress will give six lines on the screen, from President Jernigan's advice to his people at the Newark session of the National Baptist Convention.
The Washington churches, fraternities and civic organizations are taking a lively interest in the Congress and will turn out en masse.
An "open door" is offered to all who believe in a 100 per cent American citizenship for the Negro and that the Ballot is the basic guapantee of its fullest enjoyment.

The Progressive Choral Society
The Progressive Choral Society
OF CHICAGO TAKES WISCONSIN
BY STORM — RENDERS CONCERTS IN MILWAUKEE, WA-TERTOWN AND MADISON.
Prof. J. Wesley Jones Highly Praised
and His Chorus Roundly Applauded.
Ably Assisted by President
The Progressive Choral Society, 100 voices strong under the direction of Prof. J. Wesley Jones, Chicago, captivated Wisconsin Saturday and Sunday last, when they appeared in two concerts in the Auditorium to a large and appreciative audience.
Sunday morning at 8 o'clock they left Milwaukee for Madison, the capital city. Stopping at Watertown, they sang at the First Congregational and First E. M. churches under the leadership of Prof. J. Wesley Jones and his able assistant, President E. G. Jordan. In spite of the very inclement weather standing room was at a premium, and the impression made on their hearers and the praise given them was inspiring and encouraging.
Twelve o'clock noon Sunday the society with many visitors left Watertown o na special chartered train over the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad for Madison. Here the climax of the tour was reached, for here they appeared at the University of Wisconsin which has an enrollment of more than 7,000 students. At the University Prof. Jones and his chorus appeared before professional critics but the rendition of their programs with melody, pathos and harmony, elicited for them the highest praises of the technical observer. Neat in appearance, orderly in decorum, ideal in their conduct, prompt, punctual and superb in their technic made for them many long and lasting friends in the capital city regardless of color.
To say that they held their audiences spell bound would be putting it mildly, they fairly swept them from their seats with each selection rendered and so thrilled their hearers that the name of The Progressive Choral Society and Prof. J. Wesley Jones has become a household name in and around the University and Madison.
Madison in general is eagerly waiting a return date of Prof. Jones and his chorus.
RACINE
A committee of five appointed by the Improvement Lodge No. 10034, G. U. O. of O. F. to draw up By-Laws and Constitution completed their work and met at the home of brother Wm.

Such a feast brought forth these remarks from Bro. E. A. Thompson, "that Brother Tyson's heart and hand as well as his pocket book was with the Oddfellows' cause." The committee was composed of Bros. B. R. Penn, chairman, Jas. Jenkins, Walter R. Lett, E. A. Thompson, and Wm. Tyson.
Mrs. Nimrod Knuckles, the wife of W. T. Knuckles, No. 10034, has been on the sick list for several days. She is a very devout Christian woman, a member of the First Baptist Church and President of the Busy Bee church club.

THE UNEMPLOYED.
Tell me not in hopeful ditties
That there are no idle men,
For the cry from all the cities
Proves you've lied and lied again.
Need is real! Men are earnest
Hunting work the country through,
But the pre-war times returneth,
And they find no work to do.
No enjoyment—only sorrow,
For poor families in distress,
How they'll get a meal tomorrow
None would even dare to guess.
Debts are large and cash is fleeting,
And our hearts once light and gay,
Now like courthouse bells are beating
For the sheriff's auction day.
In the world's broad field of battle,
In this hot commercial hell,
Poor folks are a helpless chattel
That the rich may buy and sell.
Trust no plute, however winning,
His fair promises may sound,
He'll be nice at the beginning—
Just to get you gagged and bound.
Lives of rich men all remind us
That we poor men made it all,
Forging chains of wealth to bind us,
While at Mammon's feet we crawl.
Crawling that perhaps another,
Who may vote a few years hence,
Some forlorn and soup-fed brother,
Seeing us, shall learn some sense.

"The usual excuse is given that black men are attacking white women, but so far few particulars of this are given, that the reports are to be accepted with reserve as at least exaggerated. But even though there are Negro criminals, as there are, there is no reason for a general attack on the innocent. The outbreak is to be attributed to blind race prejudice—to the feeling entertained by many, temporarily in Washington, that Negroes are to be taught their places; that in Washington they are not sufficiently abject in their manners.

A mob the other day held up a Mississippi sheriff and took his Negro prisoner away from him with the avowed purpose of staging another lynching.
The sheriff, evidently a man of commendable courage, had "nerve" enough to remonstrate with the would-be lynchers. He succeeded in calming them to such an extent that they compromised on flogging their cowering victim with a buggy trace instead of hanging him.
The prisoner was not charged with the "one offense" for which lynching is often condoned. He was not even charged with murder. He had shot at a white man, but the bullet went astray.
He should have been punished, of course, and any court in Mississippi would have punished him.

This sheriff convinced the mob that it should not hang his prisoner, and the mob let the defendant off with a beating!

Fiction Concerning Sargossa Sea.
The Sargossa sea in the north Atlantic is an area through which no ocean currents pass. It is comparatively still water, forming a sort of eddy into which seaweed tends to drift. Writers of fiction have held that the dead ships of the ages have found resting places in this eddy and have popped them with the spirits of lost mariners. The idea is pure fiction. The Sargossa sea may be navigated without experiencing any difficulty with seaweed and without seeing a derelict.

Donkeys Wear the Trousers
There is one spot in Europe where the woman, have not yet taken to imitating male attire, but the donkey have. Visitors to La Rochelle usually take a trip across to the Ile de Rhe, which is about two miles from the mainland. Nothing in the island impresses them more than the donkeys. These animals, who do most of the draught work, invariably have their legs encased in trousers, fastened with cords over the withers and the windquarters. The natural impression is that a carnival is in progress.
