that when the appropriations for the year

the appropriations for the year 1910 We're

Jesse Binga, who a few wears ago,
comparatively speaking, was not
known by more than a hundred peO-
pie in this city, or in any other part
of the county, but today owing to
his unusual business ability, he is
favcrably known throughout the
length and breadth Of the United
States, was born in Detroit, Mich,
in which city he received his educa-
tion in its public common, and high
schools, and shortly after drinking in
splendid education, he began the
study Of law, under the guidance OF
Thomas Crisup, W o had the honor Of
being the first Colored lawyer to be
admitted to the bar in the State Of
Mich.
The parents Of Mr.. Binga, Mr.. Will
liam and Mrs. Adelphia Binga, being
among the Oldest and most highly re-
spected Colored families in Detroit,
intact, they were numbered among
its pioneers. and by hard work and
thrifty habits, they accumulated con-
siderable money and in time they
constructed a number Of tenement
buildings known as the Binga Rows,
on Hastings, Rowine. and Grove
Streets.
Mrs. Binga, being enterprising and
ambitious, was the first person to
ship cargoes Of sweet potatoes, to
upper Michigan, known as the Geo
brio region. Mr.. Binga. received his

Mr.. Binga, and Mrs. Azelia Smith

distinction of being the onlv two

are cordially invited to attend them,
which shows, that they are still held
in the highest esteem by their former
school associates, and the best people
Of both races Of Detroit, Michigan.

he was a huxter, and with his horse

and down the streets on the south
side, to many Of the people who are
now occupying fats and other hous-
es under his control.
In the winter Of 1902, he de-
cided to launch out in the real
estate business, and he opened a
small ONCE at 1881 State Street. His
capital consisted Of a half a months
rent, three old rickity chairs, a small
table, an old worn out stove resting
on two legs, and a brick, but being a

In 1908. he removed his real

From Suspicion of Objec-

1.-THE number of plays which are
maintained up to a standard OF NOR
atty and wholesomeness grows smaller
each year. 1t is time for a whitewash
brush to be applied to the American
stagei"
Robert Edeson made this statement to
a newspaper man in Baltimore last
night Mr.. Edeson is this season ap-
pearing in THE Call of the North" a
play by George Broadhurst. which he
claims is one of the cleanest plays ever
presented on the American stage.
During the seven years in which /
have been star it has been the policy
OF my manager, Henry B. Harris. and
myself, too, to produce only clean plays,
and at the same time American plays
by American playwrights. It has been
my contention that the American play
going public will support this sort of
drama. and thus far 1 have been iusti-
fed in my opinion.
New York city is practically a cap
tive at the present time in the hands
OF the unclean play. but If the proper
mixture Of whitewash is used, admin
istered by a big stick of fearless
ownership. the stage will profit by the
housekeeping process and il will no
longer be an impossibility for man to
attend a theater with his mother, his
wife, or his sweetheart without the
fear Of a direct insult to her better
feelings,
Mr. Edeson cited the fact that I'M
clean plays are made possible by the
patronage accorded them at the hands
of the playgoing public, but ventured
