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. Blakely Hall. 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. Catherine Hawkins.
