ANTHONY, Speakers Pay Tribute to Her Memory Before an Audience of 1,500 Fifteen hundred persons gathered in the Hudson Theatre yesterday afternoon to do honor to the memory of Susan B. Anthony. William M. Ivins was the principal speaker. An eloquent address was made also by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, who embodied in her eulogy an appreciation of the services that Miss Anthony rendered the colored race, of which Mrs. Terrell is a member. "Representatives of that race, which only fifty years ago bowed under a yoke of cruel bondage in this country, in addition to bearing the burdens of a handicapped sex, owe her a debt which cannot be expressed in words," said Mrs. Terrell. "Neither the winter's cold nor the white heat of wicked men's wrath could force or frighten her from the work in behalf of freedom and justice to what she had devoted her life and consecrated her powers. And though the soul of Susan B Anthony has winged its way to another world, her celestial nature will never be dimmed, and to-day she lies enshrined in the hearts of ten millions of human beings-- a far nobler mausoleum after all than one made of marble could possibly be." Anna Garlin Spencer paid eloquent tribute to Miss Anthony's memory. She pronounced Miss Anthony the heroine of the woman suffrage cause and concluded her address with a short poem. Mr. Ivins said, in part: "The measure of Susan B. Anthony's heroism was no whit less than that of Joan of Arc. and the measure of her sanctity no whit less than that of Saint Teresa. "She came of a stock that always stood for liberty, and William Penn and Roger Williams were among her intellectual forefathers. She came from plain people and she always remained a plain person, she came of no class. neither of the exalted nor the humble, and, had she been a man, she would have taken off her hat in no presence save that of God. "Her last thought, like her first thought, was for the future, and she died wondering how soon would come the time when all woman, the world over, would be in every respect the equal of man. She died with the calmness of Socrates. "The work she began shall be finished by us if possible, but if not by us, then by our children and our children's children, and we devote to you who have no child, the lives of our children in the struggle for the liberation and betterment of all mankind." Mrs. Lillie Devereaux Blake related some antidote about Miss Anthony. The other speakers were Ella A. Boole, Charlotte A. Wilblour and Marriett Stanton Blatch. ELOQUENT HONOR TO SUSAN B.

THE WASHINGTON POST APPEAL FOR BLACK TROOPS Mrs. Mary Church Terrell ask Suspension of Order. Secretary Taft, at Her Request, Cables President for Authority to Stop Soldiers' Dismissal. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, a colored member of the board of education, saw Secretary of War Taft yesterday, as the representative of the Constitutional League, of New York, of which she is a member, in the interests of the negro soldiers of Companies B, C, and D, Twenty-fifth Infantry, recently dismissed without honor by order of the President. She asked that the Secretary suspend the operation of the order until representatives of the league and others interested in the colored soldiers could have an opportunity to see the President upon his return from Panama, and ask for a rehearing of the case. At her request Secretary Taft last night cabled the president in regard to the matter. It is understood, however, that all the men affected by the order have been dismissed, although the official report that such has been done has not reached the War Department. Upon receipt of a telegram from the Republican Club, of New York yesterday morning requesting that the execution of the order be suspended temporarily, Assistant Secretary of War Oliver telegraphed the commandant at Fort Reno, asking if the men had been dismissed, but last night had received no reply. If the execution of the order is delayed, the Constitutional League will appeal to the President upon his return to reopen the case and give the men an opportunity to defend themselves. SATURDAY OCTOBER 13, 1906. Afro-American Council ------ BIG CROWD PRESENT -- BISHOP WALTERS MAKES AN ADDRESS. New York City, Oct. 9, 1906. The annual meeting of the Afro-American Council was held in St. Mark's M. E. Church Tuesday morning. Bishop Alexander Walters called the meeting to order, with Mrs. Fannie Bainer Williams acting secretary. There was not much business done at the morning or afternoon session. In the evening Bishop Walters delivered his annual address, which was logical, eloquent and concise. He was applauded throughout its delivery. Seated upon the platform at this meeting was Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, who was the center of attraction. The mention of her name by the speakers was a signal for applause. Mrs. Terrell will speak at Cooper Union tomorrow night, Wednesday, on which occasion the position of the colored Americans will be defined. Bishop Walters in his address this evening declared that the colored American was tired of the atrocities and the brutality of the Southern white man. There were fully two thousand people present when he spoke. Among the distinguished attendants at the Council are Prof. L. M. Hershaw, Attorney James A. Cobb, Capt. J. W. Lyons, Bishop Clinton, Dr. S. L. Corrothers of Washington, Dr. W. H. Stewart of Louisville, Ky.; Attorney J. Douglass Wetmore, formerly of Florida but who has made his home in New York. Most of the Washington contingent may be found at Hotel Marshal. This is one of the best known and best houses in the city. Here is where Attorney Wetmore may be found with his handsome suite of rooms upon the second floor. Here is where he does a great deal of his legal business. While seated in Hotel Marshal I was introduced to Mr. James A. Jackson, the son of Col. Giles B. Jackson of Richmond. Young Jackson is in the real estate business here and is doing great business. I understand that most of Mr. Jackson's clients are white. Mr. Wetmore is attorney for the firm of Jackson & Moore. Prof. Booker Washington and Mr. Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee are expected this week. Their names are on the official programme for speeches. The tall form of Capt. J. W. Lyons can be seen walking the streets of New York. When he enters the Council he looks like Napoleon invading the enemies of the French. I have not seen my friend T. Thomas Fortune as yet. I understand, however, that he is in New York and made one of those characteristic speeches of his. Attorney Cobb has no time to attend the Council meeting. He has been busy attending to legal matters. The outlook is that Bishop Alexander Walters will be re-elected. New York, Oct. 10, 1906. There was a lot of rain last night. I arrived about 4 o'clock and was compelled to remain on the car to keep from being soaked with water. I did not have an umbrella, although I was told to bring one with me. I got off of a 6th avenue car and walked into a gents' furnishing store to purchase an umbrella. The proprietor thought he had a cinch. He wanted one dollar for a 25 cent umbrella. I thought it was cheaper to get wet. I needed a wash off at any rate. At the Council this morning I offered the following resolution: Resolved, That is is the sense of the National Afro-American Council that negro labor from the Southern States should be employed in the construction of the Panama Canal in preference to the employment of Chinese coolie labor. One of the best speeches delivered in the Council was by Rev. A. L. Gaines of Baltimore, Md. Rev. M. W. Gilbert is one of the strongest church factors in New York City. He has a large church on 53rd street. This meeting will be the largest that has ever been held. Politics is lively up here. The Sun and one or two other leading papers are fighting Hearst. It is a sign of weakness. Hearst is strong and it cannot be denied. He is abused by these papers in a manner that will gain him votes. He is sound on the negro question. I have been informed that the dissatisfaction between the Hearst and Tammany faction will be healed. W. C. C.

Ask President to Plead for Negro Afro-American Council Calls on Him for an Investigation by Congress At a mass-meeting held last night in Cooper Union under the auspices of the Afro-American Council, at which prominent white speakers delivered addresses, the following resolution, offered by the Rev. Henry J. Collis, of Boston, was adopted: "That the Council appoint a committee to wait upon President Roosevelt to urge him to recommend to Congress that appointment of a non-partisan committee to investigate the condition of citizens of the United States, as to their civil and political rights in the Southern States, and report their findings to Congress." The meeting was given over to the discussion of the subject. "Lynching and Its Remedy." Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, said: "Fifty years ago in this hall Susan B. Anthony was carrying on a campaign by mail aginst slavery. Let the memory of her grand work be an inspiration to us who are here to-night in the cause of the negro. I beseech the white women of the North again to help drive oppression from our beloved land." Mrs. Terrell made the assertion that white men in the South bent on a foul crime blackened their faces to escape detection. John E. Milholland was one of the speakers. He said: "The questions is, shall the white man's government in the nation be the failure it is in the South? President Roosevelt is the first President in forty years who had not sent communications on the subject to Congress. He is rapidly approaching the point where it will appears whether he shall go down in history bracketed with Andrew Jackson or with the flabby James Buchanan." The next speaker, Joseph Smith, editor of the Boston Pilot, said: "President Roosevelt has always been ready to come to the aid of sufferers in other countries; it is high time he did something for the citizens of the United States." Other speakers were ex-Representative Manning, of Alabama; J. Douglass Wetmore, who is credited with having upset the "Jim Crow" laws in Florida; J.C. Napier, of Tennessee, and the Rev. C.S. Morris, of New York. The afternoon session was addressed by Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Evening Post. He said: "I am here to add my word of approval to the aims of the Afro-American Council, whose cry is 'Organize.' By all means organize. If there is one thing the colored people need to-day it is solidarity." Telephone 1118-Gramercy Intended for Mrs M ?

Tribune Address [blank] Date Oct 11 190? LYNCHING AND ITS REMEDY In the course of a spirited address last night on "Lynching and Its Remedy" at the conference of the National Afro-American Council in Cooper Union, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, known as the "female Booker T. Washington," insisted that the whole country must help in the solution of the race problem. "The South cannot do it alone," she said. If the American people wish to suppress mobs and prevent this great Republic from becoming the Russia of the whole world, the national government must insist that the law shall be respected in the South, as well as in the North. Until the ignorant white people are educated and lifted to a higher moral plane, the South will never suppress lynching." "The whole truth underlying mob violence must be told," said Mrs. Terrell, "and the responsibility for it placed where it should be -- with the better class of Southern white people. Two of the most atrocious crimes ever committed against civilization were directly incited by the press, while the fearful massacre in Atlanta a short time ago was due to the manner in which the campaign for the Governorship was conducted." After denying that assaults committed on white women by colored men are responsible for most of the lynchings in the South, Mrs. Terrell continued: "Statistics compiled by white men show that of hundred colored men lynched only from twelve to fifteen were even accused by the South of what is called 'the usual crime.'

J.2 Henry Romeike, Inc. 33 Union Square, Broadway Cable Address, "ROMEIKE," NEW YORK NEW YORK The First Established and Most Complete Newspaper Cutting Bureau in the World From Gazette, 1906 PROBLEMS OF THE SOUTH. Commission to Investigate Affairs Advocated by Afro-American Council. New York, October 10.—At today's session of the Afro-American Council, which is meeting here, a resolution, offered by Rev. Dr. Henry J. Collis, of Boston, that the council appoint a committee to wait upon President Roosevelt to urge him to recommend to Congress the appointment of a non-partizan commission to investigate the civil and political rights of citizens of the Southern States, and to report their findings to Congress, was adopted. The session tonight at Cooper Union, was devoted to the theme "Lynching and its Remedy." Earnest and, at times, impressive speeches were made. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, declared that the misapprehension on the subject of lynching in the South is prodigious, and that she knew that 80 per cent. of colored men who are lynched in that part of the country are not accused of the crime generally supposed to be responsible for the unlawful murders. John E. Milholland, formerly connected with the New York Tribune, said: "The question is, "Shall the white man's government in the nation be the failure it is in the South?" Joseph Smith, editor of the Boston Pilot, told his hearers that he was present in the interests of suffering humanity, and added: "President Roosevelt has always been ready to come to the aid of sufferers of other countries, it is high time he did something for the citizen of the United States." J. Douglas Wetmore, who is credited with having upseet the "Jim Crow" laws in Florida, said he had recently been informed by a resident of Birmingham, Ala., that the better class negroes of that city were ready to leave it at a moment's notice, fearing a repetition of the recent outbreak at Atlanta. "Such men as Hoke Smith, John Temple Greaves, Vardaman, and Tillman ought never to be able to obtain any service from a colored man." said Oswald G. Villard, in an address today before the council. He urged the negro to organize, to band together for his defence, and to fight for his rights. "The time is right for serving notice on the country," said he, "that further efforts in any section of the land to degrade the negro to a servile position to create that impossible thing, a republic with millions of persons taxed, but not represented, shall be fought from now on." NEGROES MAKE AN APPEAL. Afro-American Council Asks President [Oct] to Call Probe for South [1906] Calling on the President to recommend a Congress investigation of the civil and political rights of the citizens in the Southern States, and discussing lynching and other matters of vital interest to the negro race, the National Afro-American Council was in session almost all day yesterday in Mount Olivet Baptist Church. It was announced that Booker T. Washington would speak in to-night's closing meeting in the mother Zion Church. Eighty-ninth street and Columbus avenue. In the afternoon Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Evening Post, said in the course of his address: "The time is ripe for serving notice on the country that further efforts in any section to degrade the negro to a servile position-- to create the impossible thing, a republic with a million persons taxed but not represented-- shall be fought from now on. The negro must fight for his rights and must band together for his defense." In the evening session in Cooper Union Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, who is recognized by negroes as an authority on the race question, talked about "Lynching and Its Remedy." In her address she said: "One way to prevent lynchings is to place the responsibility where it belongs. If the American people wish to throttle mob violence they must demand an enforcement of the law both North and South and that the life of the humblest black man shall have equal protection with the white. It is as impossible for the negroes in this country to prevent mob violence by any attitude of mind they may assume or any course of conduct which they may pursue as it is for [?]a straw dam to stop Niagara's flow." New-York Daily Tribune. Friday, January 25, 1907. Pleads For Her Race. Wife of Negro Federal Judge Says Their Rights Are Trampled Upon. The seriousness of the race problem confronting the country was described in an address delivered last night by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the wife of one of the Negro federal judges of the District of Columbia, in the lecture room of the Madison Square Presbyterian Church. At the conclusion of her address a local branch of the Constitution League of the United States was organized among the members of his congregation, at the suggestion of the Rev. Dr. C. H. Parkhurst. This organization, which is establishing branches in all the Congressional districts in the country, investigates all lynch-ings and makes the facts connected with them public in the interest of Negro Americans. It is also seeking to protect Negro voters from being disfranchised and otherwise deprived of their constitutional rights. In part, Mrs. Terrill said: You do not know what sacrifices have been made by the children of ex-slaves so as to advance themselves and gain an education. Step by step, they have encountered prejudice because of color and other huge obstacles. The interest once manifested by the people of the North is gradually growing less and less. This is because of the case reports of outraged spread broadcast over the country by the bigots in the South. Among the better class of blacks there is less scandal than among the better class of whites. Regarding the disenfranchisement of the Negro the pulpit, press and platform as well as the private citizen are silent. The constitutional rights of the black man are trampled on, and in some sections if he attempted to vote he would lose his life. Lawlessness affects all parts of the country, and one infraction of the law always leads to another. There are more murders in Louisville, with its population of two hundred thousand, than there are in London with its seven millions. There are no truer or more patriotic citizens than the ten millions of Negroes, who know no other country than this. There are two sides to every lynching bee. White women are not making the slightest effort to save their colored sisters from a life of shame. In the South this is because because of inherited hate of their colored sisters, the daughters of the bondwomen who nursed them. The people of America are not naturally unkind or cruel, yet they ignore the atrocities committed on Negro citizens. They have a sympathy fo the oppressed of all races, and I urge the women of the North to see that justice is done the Negro.

For once in the history of the District all “Coloreddom” is interested in a movement making for the uplift of our people. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell became so elated over the scheme that she promised to insure her life for fifteen hundred dollars; same to be used in erecting a monument over the grave of the Corresponding Secretary of the Woman’s Convention— if she succeeds in uniting the women of the District of Columbia. The monument is ours, for these sisters will have to get together if we must use rope for the purpose. If the meeting on Monday night is to be reckoned with, we have made a pretty good start. Every denomination, and every woman representing anything material, was present. All are agreed that we have struck the right note and with judicious management, it will be possible for us to wheel these women in line and do a work not attempted since slavery. The Articles of Incorporation were drawn and signed and we have a ten-acre tract in sight.

Negros Plead For Their Rights Great Mass Meeting at the Academy of Music Bitterly Condemns Discrimination Against the Colored Race. [*Phil Press- March 2 - 1906*] Eloquent speeches and prolonged enthusiasm marked the big mass meeting in the interest of negro suffrage held in the Academy of Music last night. Hundreds of people were turned away and those who gained admission packed the great auditorium as it has seldom been packed before. Earnestly the negro's rights were pleaded, and with native eloquence colored speakers of fame urged upon the citizens of Philadelphia -who, they said, had already demonstrated a greater interest in them than those of any other city- to help the colored man. A feature of the meeting was the reading of scathing resolutions against the "Jim Crow traveling apartment abomination," framed by the Philadelphia preachers' meeting and read by Rev. H. T. Johnson. In these resolutions the practice of "extorting a first-class fare from the negro and denying him first-class accommodations' was denounced as "cruel" and "unjust" and the "unscrupulous practice of denying Pullman accommodations to negros possessing first-class tickets" was decried. Of the colored speakers none spoke with greater eloquence than Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington. Mrs. Terrell, with dignity and with force, drew a striking comparison between the Jew in Russia and the negro in the United States. Henry E. Tremain made an earnest appeal for the negro, and other speakers among whom were Bishop L. J. Choppin, of South Carolina, Congressman George H. White, of North Carolina; Andrew B. Humphrey, and J. E. Millholland, of New York, eloquently urged the negro's rights. The Washington Post Appeal for Black Troops Mrs. Mary Church Terrell Asks Suspension of Order. Secretary Taft, at Her Request, Cables President for Authority to Stop Soldiers' Dismissal. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, a colored member of the board of education, saw Secretary of War Taft yesterday, as the representative of the Constitutional League, of New York, of which she is a member, in the interests of the negro soldiers of Companies B, C, and D, Twenty- fifth Infantry, recently dismissed without honor by order of the President. She asked that the Secretary suspend the operation of the order until representatives of the league and others interested in the colored soldiers could have an opportunity to see the President upon his return from Panama, and ask for a rehearing of the case. At her request Secretary Taft last night cabled the President in regard to the matter. It is understood, however, that all the men affected by the order have been dismissed, although the official report that such has been done has not reached the War Department. Upon receipt of a telegram from the Republican Club, of New York yesterday morning, requesting that the execution of the order be suspended temporarily, Assistant Secretary of War Oliver telegraphed the commandant at Fort Reno, asking if the men had been dismissed, but last night had received no reply. If the execution of the order is delayed, the Constitutional League will appeal to the President upon his return to reopen the case and give the men an opportunity to defend themselves.

There was a very warm argument over a resolution favoring the unsexing of criminals, which was finally adopted, the men delegates voting largely against it, while the women delegates favored it. Resolutions were also adopted favoring sexual education in the public schools by specially prepared teachers; the removal of unchaste employes from hotels and restaurants; the passage of laws inflicting stricter penalties upon couples who falsely register at hotels as husband and wife, and the abolishing of stories of an immoral nature, both in book form and in newspapers.

The funeral of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar, the colored poet laureate, will take place this afternoon from the Eaker Street A.M.E. Church at 2 o'clock. The burial will be made at Woodland Cemetery. The remains will lie in state Monday morning at the residence, 219 North Summit street, at which time the friends of the dead poet may pay their final respects to his memory. The services at the Eaker street church will open with a hymn by the choir, followed by a prayer by W. O. Harper, pastor of the Zion Colored Baptist Church. Following the invocation the choir will render another hymn. Rev. George Bundy, rector of St. Margaret's Mission, will conduct the reading of the Scriptures. The obituary will be delivered by Dr. A. W. Drury, of the Union Biblical Seminary of this city. Following, Rev. Woodson, pastor of the Eaker Street A.M.E.

Murphy and wife, of Chicago, half brothers of the deceased, and John H. Burton of Lexington, KY., an uncle of Paul Laurence Dunbar. A dispatch from Wilmington, Del., states that Mrs. Alice M. Dunbar, the poet's wife, who is a teacher in the Howard High School, has left for Dayton to attend the funeral. All day Sunday there was a constant stream of callers at the Dunbar home on North Summit street, friends and admirers of the dead poet, who each expressed their sympathy to the bereaved mother in her terrible sorrow. Mrs. Dunbar has in a measure become reconciled to the death of her son and was able to see a number of the callers. Ever since the death of Paul Laurence Dunbar telegrams have continued to pour into the house of death, each expressing some consoling message for the aged mother. They came from persons prominently identified in the educational field, literary people and friends of the poet in private life. Among the many messages of condolence were the following: "Chicago, Ill. "Mrs. Matilda Dunbar: "Receive my sincerest sympathy. Be comforted in your son's greatness. "Mrs. Eugene Field." Mrs. Field is the wife of the late Eugene Field, poet and author, who with his wife was a great friend and admirer of the genius of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. "Toledo, O. "Mrs. Matilda Dunbar: "You have lost a son; I have lost a friend; but America has lost more than all else, and that is a poet. In your sorrow remember that his songs will preserve his beautiful personality for the world. "Brand Whitlock." This message came from Toledo's Mayor, who had known the poet well in life and had been a warm friend. "Terre Haute, Ind. "Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your terrible bereavement. "Sissiretta Jones (Black Patti.") This came from the eminent colored [unknown word] who knew the poet and always [unknown word] him when playing in this city. "Washington, D.C. "Mrs. Matilda Dunbar: "The Nation and the race as well as yourself have sustained an irreparable loss. "Robert H. Terrell. "Mrs. Robert H. Terrell." Mr. and Mrs. Terrell are well known colored educators, and were intimate friends of the deceased. Mr. Ralph W. Tyler is now a member of the staff of the Ohio State Journal, and was formerly on the staff of the Columbus Dispatch. He was for some time the editor of a paper devoted to the interests of colored people. Like Paul Dunbar, he is a colored man who has risen to distinction, not only in the service of his race, but also in general newspaper work. Mr. Tyler has written Mrs. Dunbar as follows: "Columbus, O., Feb 26, 1906. "Mrs. Matilda Dunbar: "In your deep affliction, and your sorrowful bereavement on the loss of dear Paul, permit me to sympathize with you. The gifted, sweet singer has but finished his earthly poems to begin far sweeter ones in the groves of Paradise, where winged angels and a merciful Father will lend inspiration anew. I sincerely sympathize with you. "Ralph W. Tyler" On Saturday afternoon a long distance telephone message was received by Mrs. Dunbar from James Whitcomb Riley, of Indianapolis, in which he conveyed his deepest sympathy and paid a beautiful tribute to the memory and genius of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. There were many other messages from other equally prominent persons who have been touched deeply by the death of the poet. It is expected that a large number of floral tributes from friends and acquaintances out of the city will arrive Monday morning. Judge Dustin stated that Dayton has produced many distinguished men, b[unknown word] that Paul Lawrence Dunbar was probably its most distinguished citizen, only in his own day, but in other generations of the city. D.F. Wilberforce was the first colored graduate of the Dayton High School, and a remarkable scholar at the present time he is reported to be in an English prison, having been held responsible for the deeds of the tribe in which he was chief. Wilberforce had greater advantages than Dunbar. One was assisted by the Church and the other was a self-made man, for the most part. Others have become known throughout the world in connection with their churches or public life, or as the heads of great manufacturing concerns, in which the labors of others contributed to the reputation of the leader, but Dunbar was known for his own productions. He was not noted as the head of a great manufacturing establishment, or as the guiding spirit of a newspaper, or as one taking part in Congress, or in any public affairs, but as one who portrayed in prose and in verse the characteristic of his people in every-day life. So far as distinction is concerned it is generally believed that he was more generally known throughout the world than any of his fellow-townsmen. Resolutions of Respect. Dayton, O., Feb. 11, 1906. A number of citizens of Dayton met at Eaker Street A.M.E. Church Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, for the purpose of eulogizing the life work of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. J.H. Finley was elected chairman and J.C. Farrow was chosen secretary. Short addresses were delivered by W.G. Hogue, W.A. Shaw, George Bailey, Henry Thomas, G.W. Hartsell, D.E. Bush, H.O. Williams. He sleeps at last--life's fitful fever o're We would not call him back--nor wake him more, His work is done; and in so short a span A nation drops a tear and wonders at the man. His dauntless spirit filled with power divine Wrought for his race, his Nation and his time, We love him still and list to hear him say, Strive ever upward though thorns beset thy way. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, poet, novelist and philosopher has by wisdom of Divine Providence been removed from the ties and associations which bound him to earth. He lived but the average length of an American life; but such was the energy, industry and activity of the man, whose name today is a household word wherever American Literature is known, by his indomitable will, tireless spirit and boundless ambition, he has carved for himself a name among the leaders of thought and action not only his own race but in the world of letters and the field of endeavor. Born and reared in this, his home city, known and loved by us who knew him best, we friends, neighbors and fellow citizens of the distinguished dead offer this tribute to his memory: Be it resolved, That in the death of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Dayton, Ohio, has lost a distinguished citizen, a brilliant leader and a most eminent figure. Be it resolved, That the invaluable service rendered by him to his race, the nation and to the world of letters beheld by us a precious legacy and a constant inspiration to go forward in the work of uplifting, ennobling and unifying the race. Be it resolved, That we hereby extend to the devoted mother, brothers and other members of the bereaved family, our sympathy and profound sorrow in this beclouded hour. May the light which went out when the son and brother died, be found again beyond the dark river where no night is known. Be it further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished the press and also to the family of the deceased. J.C. Farrow, John M. Butler, D.E. Bush, GEO. W. Hartsell H.O.

Cleveland, Oct. 14.-- Today's sessions of the Congregational National Council were devoted to the annual meeting of the American Missionary Association. Mrs. Mary C. Terrell, of the Board of Education, Washington, D.C., spoke upon "The Strongest for the Weakest" and the annual address of the president, Rev. A. H. Bradford, D.D. of Montclair, N.J., closed the morning session. Justice David J. Brewer spoke at the afternoon session, dealing mainly with the race problem. He said in part: "The uplift through Christian education is the principal work of the American Missionary Association. True, they are not the only objects of its interest and care. All the despised races in our borders are included. I have myself done a little preaching from the bench of the Supreme Court on the duty of Christian America to the heathen Chinese. What I said made but slight impression on the courts, but it will yet be heard and heeded by the great body of American Christians. But the numbers of the colored people so surpass those of all the others and their relations to the nation are so peculiar that unnaturally we look earnestly upon the work of the association among the colored people. And their very numbers attest the value of this work to the nation. Surely anything which is uplifting one-ninth of our population must be of profound interest to all. "Many of the vast multitudes pouring into this republic are racially coldblooded and selfish. Not a few come tainted with the spirit of anarchy and are willing to destroy all social order in the hope of personal gain out of the wreck. The immigrants become citizens as we are citizens and as is this colored and enfranchised race. And while the colored brothers may be too fond of the chicken coop and the watermelon patch, they are firm believers in social order. You will find no Johann Most, Emma Goldman, Czolgosz or Guiteau among them. In the struggle which may be expected to come between order and anarchy, may it not be that these people, grateful to the nation for their liberty and to the goof people of the land for their uplift in knowledge, purity and social standing, prove themselves a mighty force, upholding law, order and the supremacy of the nation? Stranger things have happened than that these people, crushed and wronged for generations, should become at last strong defenders of the nation and the community at whose hands they have hitherto received mainly injustice."

DISTINGUISHED Colored Women Speaks to an Audience of Her Race At Armory Hall Last Evening--Wife of Only Colored judge in This Country. [*Springfield, Ohio*] The colored people of the city were given a rare treat last evening last evening at the Armory hall, in the way of a lecture by one of the most distinguished colored women in America. Mrs. Mary Church Terrel, wife of Judge Terrel, of Washington, D.C., the only living colored judge in America, delivered a most pleasing address to an appreciative audience along the lines of "Pessimism in the Colored Race." She is a graduate of Oberlin college, this state, and a member of the board of education at Washington, D.C. Her husband, one of seven honor men out of a class of 300 students from Harvard, has been appointed municipal judge three times through the courtesy of President Roosevelt. Mrs. Terrel spoke under the of the auspices of the City of Federation of Women's clubs, of which she is the honorary national president. The speaker was introduced in a few brief words by Mrs. Henry Linden, local president of the society. After which, Mrs. Terrel in her lecture discussed the race problem at length dwelling mainly on the point of pessimism in the race. She urged those present to have high ideals and to strive for the things in this life really worth having. She said it was her intention to speak only of optimistic sides, [*(*]but that if anyone would cover the ground completely a few dark things would creep in.[*)*] She urged her hearers to look upon the bright of life discard the dark, which, she said, in time to come would eliminate the bitter feeling which was held against them.

THE JOURNAL SPRINGFIELD ILLINOIS THURSDAY MORNIGN OCTOBER 24 1907 LACK OF RESPECT IS NEGRO'S DANGER Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, in address recalls progress of race in forty years in spite of oppression. "The greatest hindrance to the colored race is they do not have sufficient self-respect," said Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, D.C., in her lecture on "Why I Am an Optimist," delivered last night at the Union Baptist church. "Take hope from a race," said the speaker, "and you have blasted irretrieveably. Where there is nothing to be gained by honest endeavor there will be a few brave enough to toil. "The most discouraging matter confronting the negro is the attitude of organized labor in closing the doors to the tradesman of color. But for the buoyant disposition of the Afro-American he would long ago have settled so deep in the sough of despond that his case would be hopeless. I never heard of a smiling down oppression, but the smile of the negro makes his lot easier to bear." For two hours the eloquence of this gifted woman held the large audience in rapt attention. She possesses an abundant supply of humor and is a story teller. The dark side of the race problem was shown, but the progress of her race in the past forty years was also related and the comparison made showed cause and why she could be an optimist. The speaker of the evening was welcomed on behalf of Springfield and [?her] people by Dr. J. H. McGee. A tribute to the reputation and ability of Mrs. Terrell was given by Rev. S. C. Manuel in his speech of introduction. Other pleasing numbers on the program were a solo by Mrs. D. O. Yates and a piano duet by McKinney sisters.

TERRELL CAPTURED THE CROWD ─── Famous Colored Woman Lectured on "Uncle Sam and the Sons of Ham." ─── Strongly Defends Higher Education and Scores Labor Unions' Discrimination. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the famous colored woman who has done so much to alleviate the troubles of her race, spoke to a large audience in St. Mark's A. M. E. Zion Church, on Monmouth street, last Monday night. Mr. James G. Hasking, of the Second National Bank, who was to have presided, was not present, Bishop Walters taking his place. Mrs. Terrell lectured on "Uncle Sam and the Sons of Ham." That she is a woman of education and refinement was evident from her manner and flow of speech. She is of a commanding and pleasing personality, and during the whole lecture, which took an hour and a half, she held the undivided attention of her audience, among which there was a sprinkling of white people. Mrs. Terrell told the progress of the race which half a century ago was in bondage and ignorance. She told of the Negro's thirst for knowledge and of his progress in the last forty years, and said that the colored man as a soldier scholar and professional was equal to the white man. Speaking of the Negro being educated out of his sphere, Mrs. Terrell said: "So many people of these times claim the Negro is educated out of his sphere. Why is this? As a whole the Negroes are capable of doing whatever they undertake. The labor unions of to-day bar the Negro; consequently many of our colored young men take up a profession, which they follow successfully. Look at the colored students in the colleges to-day. Many of them carry off prizes coveted by the white students — and why? Because the Negro is ambitious and bright, and if he stands out with a purpose and object in view he can accomplish that object." [column 2] Mrs. Terrell spoke of the good work of colored women, and urged the mothers of to-day to educate their children and teach them what it is to live and be ambitious. Her wit and humor and well rounded rhetorical periods received tumultuous applause. Many of the audience went away more than pleased, some of whom were vieing with each other that it was among the best ever heard in this city. After the lecture Mrs. Terrell was presented with a lovely bouquet of flowers by Miss W. E. Quinn in a neat speech on behalf of the Woman's Club of this city, as a token of their esteem and friendship for her as the pioneer club woman of America among our race. [*Oct. 1 - 1906] MRS. TERRELL'S CAREER. Mrs. Terrell is a woman of refinement and education. She is perfectly natural in manner and clear and consecutive in delivery while lecturing, and holds the undivided interest of her audience. Born in Memphis, Tenn., of colored parentage, she was taken to Oberlin, Ohio, when a child, and was graduated later from the classical course of Oberlin College. [*(*]Her immediate worth was apparent, in that she was invited, upon her graduation, to become registrar and tutor in Oberlin College. This would have made her a member of the faculty. The honor of this call was great, for it was the first and only such that has ever been given to one of the Negro race by a college of such rank as Oberlin. She was Miss Church then, and declined the call because she was soon to marry Mr. Terrell, whose wife she now is. [*)*] Before marriage Mrs. Terrell spent some years in Europe to study and travel. She studied French and Paris and Lausanne, Switzerland, a year. The she studied German for one year at Berlin, enjoying, in the meantime, the German opera and theatre. Afterword she went to Italy, and in Florence studied Italian, having advantage at the same time of the world's famous art galleries. Behind all the culture from her advantages was Mrs. Terrell herself, who at once appealed to all who met her and made them want to know her. Mrs. Terrell was the first colored woman to serve on the Board of Trustees of the Washington public schools, and through her energy and intelligence made her influence felt throughout the system. She was largely instrumental in having Professor Rosco Conkling Bruce, of Tuskegee Institute, appointed superintendent of the colored public schools of her city, a position which pays $3000 per annum. Mrs. Terrell is a firm believer in every principle enunciated by the platform of the Niagara Movement, which was evidenced from the general tenor of her address and from the personal interview which The Appeal man held with her in the reception down stairs. Mrs. Walters and the Bishop and Rev. Ball are to be congratulated in bringing to this city a woman of Mrs. Terrell's calibre. While in the city she was the guest of Mrs. Walters, who first suggested the idea of her coming. "IS THE NEGRO TOO HIGHLY EDUCATED?" Mrs. Mary Church Terrell says they are not educated out of their sphere. Famous colored woman lectured last night Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the famous colored woman who has done so much to alleviate the troubles of her race, spoke to a large audience in St. Mark's A. M. E. Zion Church, on Monmouth Street, last night. Mr. James G. Hasking of the Second National Bank, who was to have presided, was not present, Bishop Walters taking his place.

Mrs. Terrell spoke of the good work of colored women, and urged the mothers of to-day to educate their children and teach them what it is to live and be ambitious. After the lecture Mrs. Terrell was presented with a bouquet of flowers by the African women of the church who expressed their pleasure at being able to hear one who has done so much for her fellow-creatures. The musical part of the program was given by Madame Seliska and Mr. Velosko. These singers are colored people and possess very fine voices. They gave several selections. After the program a reception was given to Mrs. Terrell and refreshments were served. [*Feb 28 1906*] The Record FRIDAY MARCH 2, 1906. The Dunbar Memorial at Second Baptist Church. The place which Paul Laurence Dunbar had won in the hearts of the people of his own race was clearly shown by the vast concourse of people from every section of the city which filled Second Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon last. The assemblage represented the brains and culture of Washington to a large degree. The one thought permeating the vast throng was how can we best evince our high regard for the young man who had forged his way from a lowly station in life to a world wide fame Dunbar wove himself into the very heart life of his people, who met to do honor to his memory now that he is gone. The whole affair was admirably arranged and was carried out according to program without the omission of a single number. Hon, J. P. Green called the house to order at 4 p. m.; "nearer My God to Thee" was sung by Miss Blackwell of the 19th Street Baptist Church: prayer was then offered by the Chaplain of the Lyceum, after which letters of regret were read from Commissioner Macfarland and others. The Chairman gave a brief sketch of the early life of Dunbar, his struggles and final triumph. He compared Dunbar to Lord Byron and alluded to several mutual characteristics between them. Lieut. Toomey followed with a masterful address upon the basic principles of war, religion and literature held a commanding place. His comparison of English and American poets and both with Dunbar showed the latter had carved out a line of thought and expression better than either, Stanton, Riley and Dunbar as an exponent of the heart history of his people was beautiful. Miss Patterson recited "When Malinda Sings," one of Dunbar's choicest poems, dedicated to his mother. It was well rendered and enjoyed immensely by the vast auditory. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell then gave a thrilling description of Dunbar's battle with the fell destroyer, consumption. Her description of scenes in the chamber of pain and suffering and the absolute resignation of the great suffer to the will of heaven was touchingly beautiful. Mrs. Terrell's word pictures of the home life of Dunbar and his devotion to his mother and the high regard shown him by the best white citizens of Dayton, Ohio, which evidenced the hold he had upon the dominant race were realistic to an exalted degree. other speakers followed all of whom acquited themselves well in their efforts to do honor to our Poet Laureate. Recorder Dancy closed by alluding to the leading trait in Dunbar, his unselfishness and the soul element so prominent in all his writings. Mrs. Dr. Curtis detailed the circumstances of Dunbar's efforts to secure the publication of his first book and how the means was furnished by friends of his own race, who had early a high appreciation of his productions. Fine vocal music was furnished by the Amphion Glee Club and the 19th St. Church Choir. The whole affair was well conducted and as a tribute to the immortal Dunbar was a great success. The exercises closed at 6:30. Boston, Mass. The Watchman April 19, 1906 Every service was "the finest yet." But as an intellectual treat the addresses on Monday evening by Prof. S. C. Mitchell, D. D., of Richmond College, and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington could hardly be surpassed. Dr. Mitchell gave the fairest, wisest, and every way most satisfactory exposition of the problem of the South to which I have ever listened. He held that the problem must be worked out by moral forces, and in the nature of the negro is a firm basis for the highest morality. three things must be done. The poor whites and the negroes must be educated and collegiate education must be modernized and popularized. "No day since Appomattox would be so fateful to the South as that on which it should be decided to divide the taxes for education in the proportion paid by each race. The South owes it to itself and to the world to solve the race problem. You must not give rein to passion. You must act with the world looking on. All questions must be worked out in the schools. The Southern whites and the negroes are admirably adapted to get on well with each other. The negroes do not want social equality. There is social equality among the vicious. I want to see the two races advance along parallel lines. We are going to have a franchise in the South based on worth and property." Mrs. Terrell's address was eloquent, witty and unreportable. New England people are to have the opportunity to hear both these fine speakers, as Dr. Mitchell is engaged by President Coleman to speak to the Boston Baptist Social Union, and Mrs. Terrell is to address the annual meeting of the Woman's Home Mission Society in Beverly, Mass., in May.

We had first an address by Professor S. C. Mitchell, of Richmond College, who gave eloquent and impressive expression to his well-defined views on the Negro Problem, in a form adapted to the occasion. Professor Mitchell's manly and courageous attitude has won him some opposition in the South, but great honor among men of broad views and prophetic vision. I should like to say more of his masterly address, but space forbids. He was followed by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, D.C., the eloquent champion of her race, who chose for her theme, "Why I am an Optimist," and pleaded, with the fervor of conviction and the eloquence of sympathy, for justice for her oppressed people. [*April 23—1907*] 6 TUESDAY THE PITTSBURGH POST. ESTABLISHED 1842. OPTIMIST FOR WOMEN OF THE NEGRO RACE. Mrs. Mary C. Terrell Tells Club Members of Progress Being Made. HUMOROUS SIDE OF PEACE. What Booker T. Washington is doing for the men of his race, Mrs. Mary Church Ferrell is trying to accomplish for the negro women. Following Miss Harding's address at the Twentieth Century club yesterday morning those present had the pleasure and the privilege of listening to Mrs. Ferrell give a review of the club work which is now being done by negro women in this country. Mrs. Ferrell is an optimist as far as her own race is concerned. Considering that 40 years ago they were in bondage, she considers the women of her race have made wonderful progress. In spite of discouragements and many barriers, they have forged steadily ahead. They are characterized by a thirst for knowledge. Hundreds have been graduated from institutions of learning and many with honors. Mrs. Ferrell spoke feelingly of Oberlin college, her own alma mater, and mentioned the fact that Wellesley, Vassar, Ann Arbor and the other colleges for women were open to the negro race. She spoke of the incentive to labor being lacking sometimes and gave as excuse the fact that many lines of work are closed to negroes. She spoke of the favored few who are educated almost always going out to teach their own race. The Active Association of Negro Women is doing much good work. They are trying to improve homes by establishing mothers' meetings and kindergartens all over the country. The ask the moral and financial support of the better class of white women. The Allegheny County Federation of Negro Women's clubs is trying to build a home in the East End for destitute negro children. At the annual meeting of the federation, June 7, Mrs. Terrell will be present to deliver an address. Mrs. Terrell is the wife of Judge Terrell, of Washington, D.C. She was elected president of the National Association of Colored Women for three successive years, and has been reappointed a member of the board of education of Washington. She is unquestionably one of the foremost negro women in America. Mrs. Terrell's literary fame rests chiefly on a recent article on lynching. Twentieth Century Club. Miss Harding gave her usual address on current events at the Twentieth Century club yesterday morning. The peace conference in New York was the chief topic under discussion. Miss Harding dwelt upon the lighter side of it, giving some account of the differences between the various distinguished speakers, Bishop Potter, Dr. Dix, Nicholas Murray Butler, Andrew Carnegie, General von Lowenfeld, Colonel Dickhuth and Mr. Stead. She mentioned Bishop Potter's taking exception to Dr. Dix's sermon Sunday morning before the Loyal Legion, in which he called the profession of a soldier a loyal one and predicted the thousand years of peace was a long way off. She also alluded to Bishop Potter's surprise that among the 28 righteous men of Pittsburgh, neither Bishop Whitehead nor Bishop Canevin was mentioned. Mr. Stead's Sunday evening speech was referred to with the comment that he "hit right and left." President Roosevelt's letter seemed to be resented by everyone, and Elihu Root's speech is thought to have been the best of the congress. Mr. Carnegie, as usual, is reported as saying some good things. The woman's merging was briefly reviewed. Miss Harding spoke of Miss Mary E. Wooley's address objecting to the naval and military displays at the Jamestown exposition. Some interesting opinions of the distinguished foreigners, General von Lowenfeld and Colonel Dickhuth, in regard to the peace conference were given. The latter said: "Peace has no place in my vocabulary. Give me war, war and more war. " He cared nothing for the Hague tribunal and thinks it can accomplish nothing. General von Lowenfeld was not quite so extreme. He spoke of Germany being within striking distance of four or five nations almost as strong as herself, and said if the United States were similarly situated he would not be so much in favor of peace. Colloquium Club. The Colloquium club met yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. J. M. Sherrer, Jackson street. The program was rather unique, owing to the fact that no one scheduled for the day was present; nevertheless, the subjects were carried out in a measure. Miss Brownlee read from Simmons' "Life of Michael Angelo" and also from other authors. A delightful paper on Leonard da Vinci. prepared by Mrs. Phelan, was read by Mrs. Armstrong, and readings from Ruskin's "Mornings in Florence" were given by Mrs. Stephenson. The program for next month's study was discussed and also plans for president's day, which will be an open meeting, May 27, at the Pennsylvania College for Women. Miss Coolidge will deliver an address and there will be music. D.A.R. Echoes. It is said that the ovation received by Mrs. Donald M'Lean on the announcement of her re-election as president general of the D.A.R., "made the skylights rattle." Seldom, if ever, was there heard such expression of enthusiasm at a gathering of the Daughters as when Mrs. Samuel A. Ammon, chairman of the committee of tellers, announced the result of the ballot, showing Mrs. M'Lean's overwhelming victory. Two years ago Mrs. Ammon filled the same responsible office on the occasion of Mrs. M'Lean's first election. That the Daughters really love elections has been manifested in the fact that there are prophecies in the air already as to the successor of Mrs. M'Lean two years hence. Judging by the general attitude the PATERSON MORNING CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1906 "UNCLE SAM AND THE SONS OF HAM" Interesting Lecture Delivered Before Audience Composed of Both Races by Madame Mary C[*hurch*]handler Ferrell[*Terrell*]— Wrongs Perpetrated on the Negro—Record a Worthy One. The auditorium of the Godwin Street A. M. E. Zion church was crowded to its doors last evening with both colored and white people desirous of seizing the opportunity to hear Madame Mary Church Terrell, a member of the school board of Washington, D.C., who is reputed to be the ablest colored woman lecturer in the world. Over two hundred and fifty persons filled the church and a good sized sum was netted for the church expenses. An excellent musical programme had also been prepared. Madames Abbie W. Lyons and Blanche Harris and Mr. Crowell, all of Newark, sang jubilee and patriotic songs with such quality and in such a pleasing manner that they were forced to respond many times to the applause. The Right Rev. Alexander Walters, D. D., presiding bishop of the New Jersey Zion conference, presided at the meeting and introduced the speaker of the evening who had chosen for her subject: "Uncle Sam and the Sons of Ham." The subject is a very musical and humorous sounding one but that is as far as it went, for the lecture was not musical or humorous by any means. It was a cold, plain statement of the rights of the negro and the wrongs that are perpetrated upon him. Before launching out on her subject, Madame Terrell told the audience that she was especially glad to be with them because from their city came the new Washington school superintendent, Dr. Chancellor. She told of the satisfaction that the former Paterson school superintendent was giving at the national capital and assured the audience that Paterson's loss was Washington's gain. She then began to speak on her subject. "I am going to speak to you tonight of our race. You, or most of you, are interested in the race problem. You know of the dark chapter of slavery that once held sway over our fair country. You know of the cruel bondage in which the black man was held for three hundred years before the civil war. It is a story that quickens the pulse and stirs the hearts of all. You remember the names of Douglas and a score of others that gave up their lives or the best part of their lives for the cause and were set down as heroes by both white and black races. "If ever a section of a country fought more faithfully or bravely to establish freedom, I do not know of it. Even after the war the North worked to disperse the superstitions connected with our race. What has our race done to merit those noble actions. Has he proved himself worthy? Let us look at his record. "In less than forty-five years in the South illiteracy among the negroes has been reduced forty-five per cent. I can show you the difference in the progress of the whites and blacks. The Atlanta Constitution not long ago printed an article which stated that there is more illiteracy among the whites over twenty-one years of age of today than among the whites of the same age of fifty-two years ago. There are over two thousand colored people practicing law and the same number practicing medicine. There are 32,000 school teachers and in the Southern states 600,00 acres of land are owned by negroes. Therefore I say that the advance made by the colored man should meet the demands of the most exacting critic. "This advance has been the result only of hard, very hard, labor, for almost on every side is the negro oppressed. He is the victim of lawlessness and often of law. It is impossible for him to obtain a position in many places because of his dark skin. We ask: 'Where is the champion of the colored people?' We ask in vain, for the tide of public opinion is gradually but surely turning against the colored race. The interest once manifested in the people is growing painfully less. People have reached a conclusion that, theoretically, at a distance, the colored people are all right, but face to face they are the worst ever. This cruel injustice has as good as torn out the colored man's tongue and cut off his hands so that he is helpless. "Articles allowing suffrage to the negro are incorporated in the constitution and should be respected by every loyal citizen of the United States, yet the notorious 'grand-fathers' clauses of many of the Southern states literally disfranchise them. It is as much as his life is worth to vote. "This is not the worst. Many are the murders that take place in the United States. Statistics prove that the annual murder list of Louisville, Kentucky, with its population of 200,000, is greater than that of London, with its population of 7,000,000. "There is nothing that merits these indignities and this suffering. There are no truer or more loyal patriots in this country than the colored people. The record of the colored soldiers in all the American wars is one to be envied. His was the first blood split in the American revolution. (Cheers). Although they received but one-half the bounty that the white soldiers received, although their beloved ones whom they left behind as they marched to the front were accorded no protection, although he was not respected as the white man, he was among the first to answer the call for volunteers in the war of the rebellion. What liner kind of bravery or heroism can there possibly be than this? Let us also remember the work of the colored soldier in Cuba, of his untarnished record there." Madame Terrell next told of the injustice, she said, prove that only one colored man out of 100,000 is accused of the crime of assault which is now generally implied when a report comes that a negro is arrested for committing a crime. "A single breath of suspicion is ever ready to kindle into flame the sparks of race hatred and the result is generally to the sorrow of the poor colored man. "There is a general opinion also that all colored men are addicted to theft. Thy say that during the days of slavery the mother slave was unable to obtain by fair means anything she desired so she stole it and that characteristic descended into the blood of the present-day negro. However, I am certain that the negroes in Africa know nothing of theft, so it is to be inferred that some newcomer taught it to him. Perhaps it was the missionary, who knows. (Laughter). Anyway, we never hear of a bank president or any other big absconder so we see that the negro is still learning, in the mere infancy of the art, so to speak." (Laughter). Madame Terrell next told of the exclusion of the negro from the labor unions and the consequent detriment to the colored man. She concluded her address with a great statement concerning the unity of the negro race; hat sooner or later it is bound to succeed as it hangs together. [?] Labantu NGOLWESI-BINI, APRIL. 10, '06. Daughters of Afric. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell a gifted Afro-American woman has well said-"No people need ever despair when their women are willing and active in trying to uplift a race." Does the Bantu woman measure up to this standard? Until this question is answered in the affirmative we fear that the progress of the black men in South Africa is bound in shallows. The active interest of the women is essential to race growth and prosperity, and the absence of vital energy so conspicuous in the average educated black man may be traced to the condition of their womenfolk. Until the Bantu women are aroused by some clarion voice in the pulpit to a sense of their responsibility for the moral and intellectual uplift of the people, the children of Ham must sink lower in the scale of humanity and civilization than their ancient paganism. Already there are ominous signs of apathy among Christian women, and the young women especially, toward all those vital questions which concern the general welfare of the race, and a lack of spiritual and intellectual vitality permeates the fabric of christian Society which spells social degradation, corruption, and death. Daughters of Afric-those values are calling you, Calling you now to be faithful and true, True to yourselves, to your cause, and your kindred, True to your country-to dare and to do Daughters of Afric-those voice are calling to you, Will not lighten our burden of care,.

The Board of the Society adopted an extended note descriptive of Mrs. Waterbury's connection with the Society and their appreciation. This appears in full on page 29 and we wish to commend and adopt the sentiments expressed as our own. It is a rare and exceptional service Mrs. Waterbury has done for missions, and a hardly less useful work may be expected from her in the future. -Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, D. C., who speaks this week at the Anniversary of the Woman's Baptist Home Mission Society at Beverly, is probably the most brilliant woman of the negro race of America. She was born in Memphis, Tenn., and graduated at Oberlin College, Ohio, and has studied in Europe. She is widely known as a lecturer. She was one of the speakers at the International Congress of Women in Berlin, June, 1904, the only one of the American delegates who spoke in German. She also delivered an address in French, and M. Remy, the correspondent of the Paris Temps, wrote that Mrs. Terrell was the woman who made the best appearance at the convention, an opinion which was endorsed by Mrs. Ida Husted Harper and the Washington Post. Mrs. Terrell's husband, Hon. Robert H. Terrell, is a graduate of Harvard University and a judge in the courts of the District of Columbia. THE NEW YORK AGE.

Charming Reception Given in Honor of Miss Fortune. WASHINGTON, April 27—Miss Jessie Fortune, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Thomas Fortune, of Red Bank, N.J., was introduced to Washington society last Tuesday night by Mrs. Robert H. Terrell, who gave a large party in her honor. Miss Fortune is the guest of Judge and Mrs. Terrell, and her hostess invited more than a hundred of the youngest element of social Washington to meet her. The affair proved to be a most brilliant social function in its every feature. The gentlemen in their conventional dress suits made a splendid background for the beautiful women and their handsome and elegant costumes. In the receiving line were Mrs. Terrell, Miss Fortune, Miss Grace Nail of New York, Miss Imogen Wormley, Miss Tessa Lee, Miss Sallie Johnson and Miss May Tyson. The ushers were Messrs. James A. Cobb, Haley Douglass, Amplias Glenn and Benjamin Washington. During the earlier part of the reception several instrumental and vocal solos were rendered and later there was dancing. The ladies present were Misses Beatrice RIdgeley, Edna Gray, Olive Booker, Edith Wright, Oceana Brooks, Bessie Smith, May Tyson, Lulu Childress, Eva Brown, Nellie Burke, Essie Tucker, Helen Jones, Ursuline Barker, Edith Savoy, Julia Allen, Jennie Williamson, Jennie Jones, Lulu B.

Mr. Chavers said that arrangements are being made to issue a paper for the colored people of this city in the near future. There are five papers printed in Columbus from the same office, and are sent to the several cities. These papers are published every Saturday and bear the headlines of the cities to which they are sent, but all the news is sent into Columbus and the paper printed there.--Toledo Blade. ------------------------------- The movement that has been inaugurated among the colored people of the State of Ohio with a view to holding an industrial and educational exposition here this summer, has taken on a significant impetus and there is little doubt but that the materialization of the efforts that are now being put forth will prove one of the biggest and most successful affairs of its kind ever produced by the Afro-American people. Among the features that will be embodied in the enterprise is the reproduction of the battle of San Juan Hill, by which it is designed to show the qualities of a true and brave soldier are not wanting in the colored man. It is also the object of those who have the matter in charge to prove to the general public that the colored people have made wonderful material progress in the last twenty-five years and that as a whole they are entitled to the sympathy and co-operation of the best element of white citizens. Statistics will be compiled and presented showing the property value as well as the large volume of commercial business transacted by them. It is argued that such a movement will do great good in stimulating a healthy sentiment towards the betterment of social conditions of the colored race. -- Dayton Journal. ------------------------------- To Boom Colored Exposition (Ohio State Journal.)

May 26--1906 Its Progress to be Discussed at the Coming Dayton Exposition. Seeking New Ideas. Booker T. Washington and Other Prominent Men Are to Speak. _________________ (Columbus Dispatch.) The progress that has been made by the Negroes of Ohio in the past 25 years, not only in the trades, but in the pro- fessions as well, and the great strides forward that they have taken towards the development of the Negro charac- ter, will be displayed at the Ohio State Colored Educational and Industrial ex- position that is to be held in Dayton, August 20-26. Leaders in the uplifting of the colored race from both state and United States, will be present at the meeting. The purpose will be to prove that the Negro deserved his emancipa- tion, that he has become worthily con- nected with the best interests of the country, and that he has advanced in such degree as to deserve to be recog nized by the best white citizens as worthy of aid and help in the movement to better his race. WASHINGTON TO SPEAK. Since the state board of managers conceived the idea of holding this exposition the work of preparing the program has been pushed ahead unremittingly, and is already practically completed. Among the speakers who will be present will be Booker T. Washington, recognized the country over as the first man of the Negro race in the United States. His address, that will be given August 25, will be along the lines of the opportunities presented to the Negro for a business life. Mr. Washington is president of the National Negro Business Men's League. THE CO Ohio Educational and Industrial [?] Columbus Instead of In G. W. Hayes, President. The Ohio Educational and Industrial Exposition which was to have been held in Day ton will be held in Columbus. Owing to the fact that the dates desired come too close to the Montgomery county fair which opens on Labor Day, Monday, September 3rd. It was the desire of the general director, P. W. Chavers, to open the fair in Dayton on August 25th, running to the necessary arrangements and put the grounds in condition by September 3rd, this would leave only three working days between the close of the Ohio Colored Educational and Industrial Exposition and the opening of the county fair. The National Floral Association occupies the county fair grounds from August 21st to 24th, so there would be no lapse of time be tween the national floral exhibits and the Ohio Colored Educational and Industrial Exposition. So under these conditions it was decided by the state board of managers to hold the exposition in Columbus. ITS PURPOSES. The exposition has for its purpose the showing of the moral, educational and material progress of the race since the days of emancipation. Statistics are being compiled which will show the value of property owned by colored people of the state as well as the large volume of business transacted by them. Among the exhibiting features will be carriage manufacturing, shoe manufacturing, carpet, cigar and bicycle manufacturing and many other industries of interest of which the colored people are now engaged. COLORED TROOPS. The colored troops of the state of which Major Fulton of Cleveland, Ohio, is major, will be one of the interesting features of the exposition. The plan is now to reproduce the great battle of San Juan Hill, where the black troops fought so nobly. This F. J. Poston, of Dayton. C. Reynolds, Ironton. feature will bring vividly to mind the fact that the true qualities of a brave soldier are not lacking in the negro race. Among those who have already accepted an invitation to be present are: Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskogee Institute; Governor A. L. Harris; Registrar of U. S. Treasury W. C. Vernon; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, D. C.; Rev. M. C. B. Mason, of Cincinnati, Secretary of Freeman's Aid society. Rev. Mason has charge of forty-two colleges devoted to the training of the colored youth, and President Jones, of Wilberforce university. OPENING DAY PROGRAM. The speaking for the opening day program will consist of an address by George W. Hayes, president of state board of managers; address by General Director P. W. Chavers; address by Governor A. L. Harris, of Ohio; address, Professor Booker T. Washington. Elaborate preparations are being affected to entertain the many visitors. It is expected that at least thirty or forty thousand visitors will be present during the week. LOCAL EXHIBITS. It is expected that the local exhibits of the colored business men Other speakers will be Mrs. Tarrell, wife of Judge Tarrell of Washington, who will give an address on the day that is to be devoted to women; President J. H. Jones of Wilberforce University, and M. C. B. Mason of Cincinnati, secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society. IDEAS AND AMBITIONS. One of the interesting features of the exposition, aside from those that will be for the purpose of instilling new ideas and stirring up new ambitious, will be the representation of the battle of San Juan Hill, by the colored troops of Ohio. These troops will be the four companies of the Ninth battalion. One of the ways in which the progress of the colored people will be manifested will be by the displays that are to be made by business men. At the meeting that was held in council chamber of the city hall last Tuesday evening, an organization was effected of the local business men, for the purpose of "boosting" the exposition and of inducing [me?s.] ORGANIZATION'S OFFICERS.

Shermans, vice president, Dayton; Major Fulton, secretary, Cleveland; Calvin Reynolds, Ironton; P. W. Chavers, treasurer and general director, Columbus. Editor P. W. Chavers of the Columbus Standard, a paper devoted to the colored people, is strongly of the opinion that there is more race prejudice in Ohio at the present time than there is in two-thirds of the states south of the Mason & Dixon line. He thinks that this was evidenced by the recent riots at Spring field. Mr. Chavers was in the city yesterday. He announced that a Toledo paper would be issued for the colored race. The first appearance of the paper will be in about thirty days. It will be a weekly publication, printed in Columbus and sent here for distribution. Mr. Chavers was also here in behalf of the industrial and educational exposition of the race which will be held in Dayton the first of August. Chas. Cottrell, deputy county recorder, has been named as one of the committee of the exposition and will look after this district. The object of the meeting is to bring out what the race has accomplished in advancement and show the public that they are also fitted for the higher walks in life.--Toledo Press. P. W.

The attendance at the exposition is expected to be very large. Between 3000 and 4000 visitors will be in Co- lumbus during the week. Elaborate preparations are being made to enter- tain them fittingly. One of the interesting features in connection with the exhibition will be the presence here of all the colored troops of the state, under command of Major Fulton. The plan is now to reproduce the battle of San Juan Hill, where the black troops showed that the qualities essential to a good soldier were not lacking in them. ___________________________________________________ Will Exhibit Many Industries. Statistics are now being compiled which will show the value of property owned by colored people in Ohio, as well as the large amount of business transacted by them. Among the ex- hibits will be those of carriage manu- facturing, shoe manufacturing, carpet manufacturing, cigar manufacturing, bicycle manufacturing and many other industries in which the colored people are now interested. It is expected that the exhibits of local colored men will be of more than passing interest. Among those who have already signified their intention of making exhibits are: C. I. Hood, grocer; W. H. Wells, photographer; J. E. Williams, coal dealer; Floyd Mitchell, artist; Mrs. Hall, hair dresser; Mrs. Robert Moorman, milli- ner, and Robert Moorman, grocer.

The fact that the date is so close to the opening of the fair there made the selection of another date necessary if the exposi- tion were held there, and sooner than do that the committee on arrange- ments decided to hold it here. SPLENDID Lecture at the New Colonial by Mrs. Terrell Last Night. This Talented Colored Lady Talked on "The Bright Side of a Dark Subject." [* Republicans Gazette (?) Aug 29 - 1906 *] There was not one of the five hundred people present at the new Colonial theatre last night to hear Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the talented lecturer, on "The Bright Side of a Dark Subject," who did not feel that he or she had been splendidly entertained, enlightened and educated. Mrs. Terrell, who ranks high among the educated women of the world, speaking a number of languages fluently, is a colored woman, the wife of a judge of the District of Columbia, and herself a member of the board of education of the district. As may be inferred from the title of the lecture, it deals with the education, possibilities and progress of the colored race in America, and her manner of handling [* Editors Father wrote this peice. *] the subject is the best evidence that she has given it long and deep thought. Her language is such that the best scholars may find nothing to criticise, while her delivery is especially pleasing. In fact, so well was her lecture received here by the large and appreciative audience, among which were a large number of the representative literary and society people of the city, that those who had the pleasure of hearing her are insistent that she return for another lecture later in the season. At the close of her lecture at the Colonial, she was accorded a regular ovation by her audience, who crowded to the platform to meet and congratulate her upon her work on behalf of her race. Later an informal reception in her honor, in charge of the officers of the Federated clubs, was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Morin, 115 east Elm street, which was largely attended, and proved a most enjoyable affair. [*The Colored Alabamian Feb. 9 -1907 E.C. Judkins Man. Ed - 105 Tatum St. *] Montgomery, Ala. We note that Mrs. Mary Church-Terrell is to come to Montgomery to lecture some time during the present month. Mrs. Terrell is a brilliant wo- man. We hope she will have something to say that will show our people how to improve their present condition, that is, how to get out of the difficulties that now surround them. The aver- age person who comes to the South to lecture simply tells us that which we already know— our present miseries. We are thoroughly acquainted with that side of life, but what we want to know from these people who come to lecture is , how to get out of our present trouble. Nothing whatever will be gained by our people coming together and sit- ting for one or two hours listen- ing to someone who simply tells us of our condition. We want light on how to improve our con- dition. We hope Mrs. Terrell will give us this light. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington , D.C., one of America's brainiest women, a forceful orator, graceful, elo- quent and logical, will speak from the subject, "The Bright Side of a Dark Subject," at the Normal School, Tuesday even- ing, February 12, 1907. What others say of her: From Le Temps, Paris, France: "The woman who made the best appearance at the conven- tion of women (which was held in Berlin, Germany, June, 1904) was Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington. Mrs. Terrell spoke in German with the same fluency and ease as in her native tongue." From Senator Dolliver, of Iowa: "She is one of the most elo- quent women in America." From Booker T. Washington: "This is to say that for many years I have known Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. She is a plat- form speaker possessed of a unique and commanding person- ality and will interest any audi- ence to which she may be per- mitted to address herself. Under the auspices of the So- journer's Truth Club. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, will lecture at Central Baptist Church, St. Louis, Mo, Friday Feb. 15, under the auspices of the Colored Y. M. C.A. Mrs. Terrell has delivered "lectures at the leading chautauquas, under the management of one of the largest lecture bureaus of the United States," and has an European reputation as a public speaker.

Her address the past week before the great millionaire congregation in New York, of which Dr. Parkhurst is pastor, was a great effort. The race in general should be proud of this brave woman's utterances in defense of the race, and especially are we of Lincoln delighted. Telephone 3923 Madison Sq.

Date Jan 31 1907 E? 1884 An article in the New York Independent, headed "What it Means to be Colored in the Capital of the United States," was an interesting recital of conditions by a cultured negro woman. But, after a glance at the title, the Providence Journal lightly remarks that "some people have discovered, to their extreme relief, what it means to be whitewashed there." Mrs. Mary Church Terrill is off on a three weeks lecture tour, touching three states in the middle west. She opened at Cleveland, Ohio on the 14th, under the auspices of the American Missionary Association. Her itinerary embraces Xenia on the 16th, Springfield on the 17th, and Columbus on the 18th. She fills two engagements at Chicago, October 21st and 22nd, being entertained by the famous social settlement workers, Mrs. Celia Parker Woodley. She "makes" Springfield, Ill., on the 23rd, Bloomington on the 24th, Indianapolis, Ind. on the 28th and Kokomo on the 29th, winding up on November 1st at Battle Creek, Michigan, where she will be the guest of Dr. Kellogg, the philanthropic founder of the noted Battle Creek Sanitarium.. Mrs. Terrill's subject on this tour is a new one, "The Strongest for the Weakest," and the best critics pronounce it the most illuminating of all the efforts yet put forth by Washington's favorite "Rostrum Queen." [*1907*] thence into Minnesota. [*Evening News, Baraboo Wis -*] It will be recalled that on invitation of Major C.H. Williams, Mrs. Mary Church Terrel gave a lecture at the Presbyterian church some months ago. In the current number of the Lyceumite and Talent, published in Chicago, appears an article upon her work in fighting race prejudice. Her husband was at one time principal of the Washington Colored High school and is now a federal judge. [*Nov 21 - 1907*] test.

Date NOV 6 - 1907 Esta? ?4 National Purity Congress Meets MANY social reforms were advocated and vigorous addresses were delivered on pressing social problems before the National Purity Congress which met last week at Battle Creek, Mich. Mrs. M. C. Terrell, president of the National Association of Colored Women, in the course of an impassioned address charged that the people of the South very largely tempt the blacks to vice, and plot to shut out their children from an education. "Many of our rich men will gladly give thousands to help my race," she said, "but refuse to give an honest, honorable, educated negro respectable employment." John H. Roberts, of London, urged that young men and women about to marry be obliged to pass not only a mental but also a physical examination, before a license is issued to them. Though once himself an actor, he denounced the theatre, declaring that it is a menace to the home, and that if we do not fight it "it will engulf the Anglo-Saxon race in a sea of lust and infamy." Dr. Rudolph Holmes of Chicago charged that race-suicide is attempted in this country in thirty-five out of a possible hundred cases. Dr. Hattie Schwendener argued for the teaching of the principles of social morality from the kindergarten to the university, and Chairman W. J. Phillips denounced the white slave traffic, of complicity in which America is by no means guiltless.
