Issued His Paper Daily During Rscsnt Odd Convention. The National Negro Press association extends congratulations to J. Thomas Harrison, editor of the Cambridge (Mass.) Advocate, on his success in issuing the Advocate daily during the re cent convention of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows held in Boston. Mr. Harrison has long been considered one of our most progressive newspaper men of the younger set.

and his recent venture confirms the high estimate of his ability to do things worth while. The great number of delegates and visitors to the convention were greatly surprised 'when they found the news of the convention in the Advocate every day. They at once became interested in the man who had the courage to make such an undertaking, and many sought the office of the sprightly weekly which had the spunk to make its appearance every day. But this was in Cambridge, the historic New England college town, and the man behind the gun a persistent advocate of the possibilities and manhood rights of his race. What Mr.

Harrison has done along line others may do when the occasion presents itself. One by one our business men are beginning to launch out further into the arena of constructive effort. They are learning that up through difficulties is the way to success. and it is fitting that the race press should lead. The Advocate flies the na tioual colors at its head and the name of the press association in a box at the head of its editorial page.

Large Parochial School In New York.

Indian children are also admitted to these schools on the same basis as the colored children are. Manager Newport News Star Resigns. H.

Lewis of the Star says: this Issue of the Star. Sept. 25. our manager. H.

FOREMOST IN BUSINESS. How C.

J. Walker Is Helping Women of the Race. Boston. the noted business women ftom a distance who attended the recent session of the great conven tion of Odd Fellows were Madam C. J.

Walker of and Miss Ia 1 1i a W. Robinson of New York Both women have won distinction in their chosen line of business and have opened up opportunities for other wo men in various parts of this country, the West Indies. Bermuda and Cuba, to enter the business arena. Madam Walker believes In the doc trine of seif help, for she has worked her way up from the plantation in the south to a place in the front rank of the race's business women. She Is ul ways ready to encourage and assist those of her race who are Industrious and who are willing to make a sacri flee of pleasure in order to better their condition.

She Is actively engaged at the pres ent time in building out of her income a school In Africa. She also gives liberally to tbe various charitable lnstltu tions of Indianapolis and has recently given five scholarships to students at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, of which Dr. Booker T. Washington Is president It is said that the number of wo men whom Madam Walker has made it possible to engage In businesses of their own Is 2,000. She attends large number of tbe big conventions held by our people, both religious and secular, and Is therefore well known among those who are doing things worth while.

STATISTICS SHOW THRIFT. Occupations In Which the Race Is Engaged Exclusive of Farming. By RALPH W. TYLER. recently I gave the number of colored men engaged in agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry in the United Stales.

The number, especially of those who are owners, managers or foremen, must have proved a revelation. That the race does not confine its operations exclusively to the farm, but extends its operations practically to every other industry, is shown by the number employed, either as owners, managers, foremen or laborers, in the extraction of minerals and the like. Engaged in coal mining there are members of the race employed. Of these twelve are owners or operators. two are officials of companies, eight are managers or 116 are bosses, foremen or overseers, seventeen are bookkeepers, cashiers or accountants, eight are clerks, four are draftsmen, one of whom is a woman: fifteen are electricians or electrical engineers and thirteen are mining engineers, the remainder of the more than 40.000 engaged in coal mining being distributed as laborers, car builders, machinists, drillers, drivers, motormen and the many other occupations associated with coal mining.

In copper mining there are 2S2 members of the race engaged; none as owner, official, manager or superintendent. but at least one as a boss. In this branch of mining, however, then- are three engineers who are identified with the race. Iu gold and silver mining there are 302 Negroes employed, two of whom are owners and four of whom are miuing. civil or uir banical engineers, while -the balance employed are distributed amoiiir the various other departments of gold and silver mining.

There are 5.379 members of the nice engaged in ore mining, fourteen of whom are owners or operators, one as manager or superintendent, nine as foremen or overseers, one as mining engineer and ten as stationary engineers, the remainder beiug meebani'-s. clerks, motormen. laborers and v.trious other employees. Engaged in lead and zinc mining there are 27S members of tbe race, three of 1 whom are mining or mechanical engineers. seven are drillers, and the remainder ate laborers and skilled me cbainics.

Engaged in quarrying there are 348 colored men. thirty-eight of whom are owners or operators, four as managers, thirty-nine as foremen or overseers, four as clerks, fifty-eight as engineers, two as inspectors, fifty three as blacksmiths, seven as liters and the balance distributed amoiig the skilled laborers and unskilled couuected with quarrying. I have ascertained that in tbe oil ud gas well Industry there are JOfl colored men employed, six of whom are owners, two as bosses, eight ft engineers, eight as drillers, seven as tool dressers, the remainder being engaged in common labor or other occupations connected with drilling for oil and gas. In the production of salt, oil and natural employed in the factories or are 208 colored meu. one of whom is ao i owner, three as bosses or foremen.

as coopers, while the remainder of the 20S employed are engaged as skilled and unskilled laborers and la other occupations required in tbe production of salt, oil and gas. In all there are 02.755 members of the race engaged in the extraction of minerals in this country, a uuinber that testifies to the fact that the race confines its efforts to no one single occupation. Questions Candidates For Congress. The National Association For tbe Advancement of Colored People, New York, has sent the following to all candidates for congress of 1 the Republican. Democratic and Progressive parties: Will you.
