TROGHESS OF THE NEGRO
HE MAKES A GOOD CITIZEN OF
THE METROPOLIS.
His Wife Also Advances in the Knowl
edge and Practice of Society’s Rules
—Neat and Pretty Colored Children
Whose Parents Are Well-To-Do.
New York, July 2.—The time has come
in New York when you cannot tell whether
a woman is a negresg or not without having
a gowl look at her face. Only a few years
ago one could pick out the song and dance
walk, the easy gnit, the careless carriage
and athletic figure of a daughter of Africa
from almost any distance. Her great
ambition seemed to be to combine all the
colors of the rainbow in'one bewildering
and devastating combination. Yol low skirts,
green waists, red neckerchiefs, bronze
shoes and the other cardinal colors dis
tributed through wraps, parasols and
bonnets,were to De seen at one and the same
time as they were conveyed along the street
by figures that may have been more or less
graceful but were never distinctly fashiona
ble. Except in the new arrivals from the
tar South, this gaudiness has entirely disap
peared. Colored women now dress in dark
colors or in deep grays, the object being
apparently to make the contrast between
tne clothes and the skin of the wearer as
inconspicuous as possible. Very few
New Yorkers—to say nothing of
the outside public—have any idea
of the substantial advancement "which
the colored race has made in this
city within the past few years. Many
colored men hold positions that are lucrative
and honorable to a high degree. Not a few
are valuable clerks and trusted messengers
in banks and big commercial houses. The
solid men of the race are those who have
built up various business interests of their
own.
I know of a man who ran an elevator in
a bachelor’s apartment house, on upper
Fifth avenue, ten years ago, at a monthly
salary of $2O. There was no restaurant in
the house, and the elevator man begun to
furnish breakfast to one or two of the men
who occupied suites of rooms where he
worked. He hail just married a comely
young woman who had been well educated
s a cook in a private family. Within a
year after he had started in this enterprise
no was serving sixteen or eighteen break
fasts every morning at 75c. apiece. He
moved into the neighborhood, got up at 4
o’clock in the morning so as to select his
own steaks and chops at the market, and
extended his clientage to another big apart
ment house across the way. He built up a
catering business which has steadilv grown
ever since. There is no doubt that lie deal's
$7,000 or $B,OOO a year above all expenses.
He is quite respectful in demeanor, has
correct business methods, and lives as well
as most millionaires. He has quite a little
house on West Twenty-seventh street,
where he and his wife and children reside;
there are three servants, anil he has reduced
his business hours from 9 o’clock in the
morning until 5 o’clock in the afternoon.
His clothes are made by fashionable tailors,
and he is in every way a counterpart of the
average successful business man, except that
his skin is black. His word is as good as
his bond, and his bond is worth 100 cents on
the dollar.
Colored me l are beginning to think out
the problems of their race, and any man
who will talk for half an hour with such
leaders of their people as Thomas Fortune
or Consul Williams will have new ideas of
the capabilities of the men who have sprung
from a race of slaves. New York seldom
secs the negro except in his working clothes.
r —JTp
ONE OF THE CLERGYMEN STEPPED FORWARD.
The better element of the race does not
parade Filth avenue of an afternoon or force
its way into the theatres. They have a
distinct world of their own'. Last October
I met a local politician who was a candidate
for a Judgeship on the west side of town.
A great many negroes live! in his district,
and, as I had heard him speak very often
and very’ eloquently of their polish, refine
ment Ad general advancement in intelli
gence and knowledge, I went over with
him to listen to an adan-ss from a committee
that had been appointed to make him a
present of a cold-headed cane. The locality
was West Washington square, and the
place the Sunday schoolroom of a church
made famous by tho preaching of a noted
colored divine, Dr. Henry Hyland Garnett,
who died in Liberia, shortly after be hod
been sent there as American Minister.
When we arrived at the hall it was about 8
o'clock. There were forty or fifty colored
men in the room chatting amiably and
quietly in groups. There was an olisenee of
tobacco smoke and the old-time political
spittoon. We were the only white men
there. The colored men were strong,straight,
and athletic looking. They held their
heads well in the air. looked a man straight
in the eye when they talked to him, and
spoke in low and well modulated voices.
No man wore the cast-off clothesof another.
It is, I am told, the first rule among the
colored men nowadays when they succeed
in getting above the position of servitude to
have then - clothes made for them by more
or less fashionable tailors. It is easy to
see the idea that underlies sueli a sentiment.
They were as well clad as a body of brokers
or merchants. Their linen was snowy ami
tlieir boots polished, but what struck me
most was the air of quiet dignity that was
visible in all of them. There was no stiffness
or formality, buttlie mon seemed to have the
repose that nearly always comes of a success
ful endeavor at advancement in life. If the
■elf-mud* man all over the world has any
one distinguishing characteristic, it is the
air of confidence which he ha* in himself.
After we had been in the hall a few minutes,
and the politician had shaken hands with
nearly every man iu the place, one of a
group of five or six clergymen among the
negroes stepped forward with a cane in his
gloved hand anil made a little speech, while
the others stood in a respectful group !>•■-
hind him. It was not the conventional
presentation speech beyond the first four or
five sentences. The natural eloquence of
the man got the better of the conventional,
and the tact that he was among thearisto-
Crats of his race probably had much to do
with his effort. His diction was as clear
and ornate at that of a college President,
and when he switched from the subject of
the present to that of the struggle which
bis race was making against the traditions
of centuries of degradation and slavery he
made every man in the room a partisan. 1
shall never forget thnt iqieech. The man
was of lithe build, square shouldered, with
a deep chest and a massive head. His voice
reverberated through tho room, and ho
swung his arms with a grace that no study
could ever impart. Every movement was
a result of the strong feeling that almost
caiTied the speaker away and which had a
pronounced effect upon bis hearers. There
were half a dozen speeches made after that,
and they compared favorably with any
public speaking that I have ever heard
among politicians of all grades in legislative
Wise and at election meetings.
Less than a month ago I was chatting
with a man who has extensive real estate
interests. He told me that he had just had
a letter from the janitor of a big office
building down town who was anxious to sell
his residence, as he was going to move up
iu Harlem. The house was in West Twenty
seventh street, and we walked over to
look at it. The exterior was a model of
neatness. The .windows were polished to a
degree that would have made n Philadelphia
housewife envious, and there was an air of
snick and span newness about the place that
denoted the best of care. The asking price
was $19,000. We rang the bell and the door
was opened by a plump little mulatto girl,
perhaps '2O years of age, who wore a black
gown and white apron and a snowy cap.
She had two little pickaninnies pulling at
her skirts. One was dressed in a sort of a
Kate Greenaway costume, and the other had
a huge Gainsborough hat upon his little
head and a little green frock that almost
touched the ground, and was belted high
about the waist. It was the nurse taking
the two children of the family out for a
walk. She passed us and led the children
away, and another servant, who also wore a
white apron, showed ns into the parlor, and
went up stairs to call “the missis." The
janitor’s wife came down-stairs at once. She
might have been the wife of a millionaire.
THE NURSE TAKING THE CHILDREN FOR A
WALK.
Her hair was dressed well on her head, she
wore a dainty pair of glasses and her house
gown had the air and fashion which can
only be imparted by a dressmaker of decided
knowledge of Parisian modes. Her color
was black she talked quietly and amiably
about the house for a few moments, and
showed us over the entire establishment
with great good nature. She was evidently
a woman of education, and doubtless had
hail every advantage. From the cellar to
thereof the establishment was replete with
a thousand devices for comfort. But, beside
all this, the decorations showed excellent
taste and judgment, and there was never
an approach to gaudiness. The nursery
was a pattern of convenience and good taste,
and the kitchen was finished in hard wood,
polished in every nook and cranny, and
blessed with a range that would have de
lighted an amateur cook. It is these cas
ual glimpses that I have had into the life of
the well-to-do negroes of New York that
has convinced me of the truth of the maxim
that one-half of the world does not know
how the other half lives.

THE SWEET GIRL GRADUATE.
Some Thoughts About Her—As She is
and as She Was.
New York, July 2.— There are a good
many things in which the world is always
behind itself —that is, in which its percep
tion of the march of things does not keep
pace with its progress. It goes ahead at a
more rapid rate than it knows it is traveling,
and it trunks itself away behind where it
actually is. The “sweet girl graduate” is
one of these. She is talked about nowadays
in exactly the same way and with almost
the same words that she was ten, fifteen,
twenty years ago. And she is now an
entirely different leing from what she was
in those days. As often as June comes
around and reports of commencements begin
to appear in the papers, the same old jokes
nud stories and superannuated descriptions
appear in the papers that have been pub
lished every year since girls began to
graduate. We are told how the dear girl
goes into raptures over her graduating
go'vn and into hysterics over parting from
her roommate; how she exchanges vows of
eternal friendship with her dearest friend,
and how each declares that nothing can
ever come between them, and how a year
after they do not even spoak to each other;
how she reads a gushing little essay about
the realities of life, and how she lies awake
half the night to talk over with her room
mate dresses they expect to have and the
parties at which they expect to be belles
during the next year.
All this would sound very well if it did
not smell so old, but the truth is there is no
truth in it. It may be a very good and
faithful description of the sweet, girl
graduate of a generation ago, but it bears a
much closer resemblance to the girls in the
grammar schools nowadays than to those
who are leaving college. The girl who
graduates in these latter days is not the
silly, hysterical creature, all impulse and no
judgment, her mind taken up with trifles,
her views and expectations of life and the
world hardly letter than what might he
expected from an intelligent child of 12,
thut the world annually smiles over, talks
about and indulgently pats on the head
when the commencement season conios
around. The actual girl graduate is no less
gay and happy than this newspaper ghost
From the past, but she knows more, isn't
lialf as siliy, is more practical and is vastly
more of a woman. She doesn’t swear undy
ing friendship with any of her chums. The
nearest she comes to it is to kiss her dearest
friend and say, “We mustn’t lose track of
each other." She goes into neither hysterics
nor raptures over anything, and her gradu
ating essay is not at all the silly, maudlin
stuff she is represented as writing. She is
very likely to take hold of some question of
political economy, or some late discovery of
science, or some subject of modern literature,
and if she eavs nothing original she at least,
show's that she has read judiciously.
Nor is her mind entirely taken up with
the coming triumphs of society and glories
of dress. Hho is very apt to continue her
studies and take a postgraduate course,
most likely in political economy or one of
the natural sciences, with the practical aim
in view of supporting herself. And if she
doesn’t do this she takes a prominent hand
in half a dozen charitable enterprises, joins
thro** or fouV societies whose aim is
mental improvement and the spread of
knowledge, and lays nut for herself a course
of rending the very titles in which would
have appalled her prototype of a generation
ago Or else she goes to work, quietly and
determinedly, to earn her own living in
someone of the multitudinous ways that
are now op*n to women.
It is time for the world to catch up with
itself on the subject of the girl graduates,
find out what they are and stop jabls-ring
about what they were twenty years ago.

We will be ready
to-morrow morning
with our Great July
Bargain Sale, and will
continue all through
this week. The time
for our annual inven
tory is fast approach
ing. Our only aim
and object now is to
close out, and that
quickly, all kinds of
Summer Goods. Odds
and ends will be of
fered at almost noth
ing on the dollar. Cost,
former selling price or
actual value not at
all considered. Big,
speedy sales Is what
we are after now, and
not to make money.
We propose to carry no
goods over for another sea
son. No, we’ll sell them at a
sacrifice first. No wonder we
had such crowds last week.
Nobody’s to be disappointed or
miss their share of the great
offerings if they come. Bar
gains at all hours of the day,
and every day during the
week. Look at these telling
inducements:
1500 yards White Pique,nice
soft finish, a remarkably good
wearing article, at 3c. a yard,
considered cheap lor sc.
Those white India Linen
Lawns at 8 l-3c., 10c. and
15c. a yard, formerly sold at
12 l-2c., 15c. and 25c., and
which created such a sensa
tion in the trade last week,
will be offered with still bet
ter grades at same prices this
week, if they move as rap
idly as last week the quantity
we have will not last long, so
we advise an early call.
On the end of the white
goods counter the Marseilles
Quilts will be fairly given
away. Not more than a few
dozen remain of those nice
Summer Crochet Quilts at
43c., but you can walk in and
help yourself to our $1 and
$1 25 quality white Marseilles
Quilts for 65c. and 75c.
GENTS’ FURNISHING GOODS.
Low prices will tell. Our
receipts in this department for
last week was four times that
of any other week in six
months. Why ? Because we
sold goods so low that it sur
prised people to know how
they could be made for the
money.
Just think of it. 50 dozen
Gent’s Unlaundried Shirts, all
sizes, linen bosoms and bands,
made of fair shirting, well fin
ished, at 25c. each. You must
think them cheap at 40c.
Gents’ seamless Gauze Vests,
perfect goods, 12 l-2c. You
will think them cheap for a
quarter.
Gents’ Night Shirts, well
made of the best Wamsutta
muslin, at 59c. Generally
sold for $l.
Ilore is a SNAP. About
25 dozen Gents’ Lisle Thread
Ilose, solid colors, seamless,
18c. a pair, really good value
for 35c.
We have made an awfully
deep gash in the prices of
wash Dress Goods, plain and
crinkled Seersucker, Crazy
Cloth and Lawns. One lot
fine quality pure Linen Lawn,
dainty patterns, 17 l-2c. The
worst in the lot would be
cheap for 26c.

A. It. ALTMAYER A CO. \

lot Boys’ blue and brown
Sailor Suits, well made of
good flannel; have been sold

advantage of.
The last lot of those largo
size Leather Traveling Bags
will be closed out this week
at 98c. each. Very recently

Here are some lots that are
well worth attention for any
one interested in or antici
pating the purchase of a Par

them move, and that fast, too.

asols in all colors 85c., worth

ber our stock is always com
plete, with all the leading
shades and at lowest prices.
Last week was a regular
humriicr in the Shoe Depart
ment. The way those $2 49
kid button Shoes went was
something phenomenal. There
are about 130 pairs left, so
we will leave them on the
bargain counter for one week
longer, and the price to close
out will still be $2 49. They
are positively the greatest
value ever seen in this city.
The event of the week will
be the grand smash in the
prices of Low-quarter Shoes.
Asa sort of feeler we place
on the bargain counters in
Shoe Department 700 pairs
Ladies* Curacoa Kid Oxford
