SEGREGATION AT THE NORTH

Fifty-six Negro children,
after marching through the
streets of Roslyn, l.. L., be-
seiged the high school, de-
manding admittance and the
abolition Of the seperate
school provided for them by
the school trustees. The black
children many of whom are
from rich families crowded to
the windows to watch. Fin
ally one of the Negro parents
ordered all the black children
back to their own school. Dis
satisfaction has been growing
in Roslyn among the Negroes
because of the segregation of
their children in a separate
school. Last spring when the
abolition of the segregated
school was refused by the dis
trict school trustees, the Neg
roes appealed to the State
Department of Education.
The matter is still pending be-
fore that body. The district
school superintendent says
the protest will be unavailing
as the voters of the district
have refused to abolish the
Negro school.
Segregation ordinances of
various kinds are being adopt
&c in various Southern cities,
but it seems strange to hear of
such law in force at the
North and approved by local
sentiment. In Buffalo the
one separate school was abol-
ished more than thirty years
ago. Since then the Negro
children have attended the
same schools as the whites
without any objection from
any one, Moreover there are
Negro women in the public
schools teaching white child
rem. Roslyn, l.. l., has taken
a step backward from civili-
zation.

Chicago, Sept. e.-Last
Tuesday was an awful bad day
for millionaire George Willis
(white), a Grand Boulevard
millionaire, who for three
years had in his employ Ethel
Smith, a comely woman
of Fl years, as maid in his
bachelor apartment. AS wat
er wears away rock, it seems
this cultured gentleman's pre-
judices had vanished and be-
fore he was aware things he
was nearing the state of father
hood and the maidthe mother
of his child. Tuesday the eli
max came when he was haul
ed into court and made to
marry the woman he had
wronged.
Many a colored. man is ser
wing time in Joliet for such
acts, and this gentleman can
consider himself fortunate
that he was sentenced to mar
ry this woman and pay her
S35 per week until the child
becomes of age. The judge
that tried the case made him
give a bond of $4,000 and
pay the money into court each
week or month. as he so de.
sires. While in court, his
honor in rebuking the man oi

man of intelligence, in silks
and satins, heir of the ages,
taking advantage of this poor
illiterate, ignorant girl in this
manner. If you were living
in the South you would walk
off from your prey and not
give her a dime if you dispos-
ed to do so. But the time is
here now when all judges. to

ALLIANCE HAS BIG PROGRAM.

Had there been a nickel show. or
dance. or some insignificant thing
at 26S0 Welton street, Sunday after
noon, the hall would have been
packed. But the civil and legal rights
of the Negro were to be protected
from the increasing aggressions of
the colorphobists. However, the hall
was comfortably filed and many good
speeches were made by both women
and men. Mesdames Thos. Webb, Jane
Vernell and Lawyer Townsend and
S. H. Tarbet made some very timely
remarks. Subscriptions were solicit

The Colorado Annual Con-
ference of the A. M. +.
Church was held by Bishop
H. B. Parks of Chicago, last
week at Albuquerque, N. NJ,
and the reports rendered
showed that the several
charges are enjoying healthy
growth. From almost every
appointment a substantial in
crease in membership was re-
ported. The adherents OF
Allen showed their loyalty to
the faith by sending up to the
conference the largest hnan-
cial report in Its history. The
receipts of the conference
footed up more than $4,000,
of which 5000 for the confer
ence missionaries. Our local
churches were not a whit be-
hind in their reports: Camp
bell sending $145.5o for Dol
lar money and Shorter report
ing for dollar money, $44o, and
for all purposes over $4,000.
So vel! pleased we're the off,
GERS and members of Shorter
with the life labors of their
pastor that they sent a strong
petition to the Bishop asking
for the return of Rev. Robert
l.. Pope.
The conference branch of
the Mite Missionary Society
hcid its annual session during
the conference and the returns
(S44s.so) were easily in ad-
vance Of all previous records.
The election of officers result
as follows; Mrs. ]. p Wat

The Rev. A. M. Ward gave
good account of his steward
ship.on the Rocky Mountain
district, and in recognition of
his faithfulness, he was re-
assigned for another year.
This session of the conference
was confronted with numb
.er of grave questions, bu. the
Bishop and members proved
themselves equal to the task.
The issues were met squarely
and bravely and were adjust
ed in such way as to main
tain high moral standard
for the Church and Ministry.
While all the sessions we're
