The Afro-American

PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MARYLAND'S BEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER --- PROTESTANT AND CATHOLIC PAY TRIBUTE TO FATHER UNCLES VCL. XXV. No. 21 Large Outpouring at Jubilee Services at St. Francis and St. Barnabas Churches Last Sunday Surrounded by a number of priests and with an overflowing congregation composed of members of various parishes and protestants, the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary' of the ordination of the Rev. Charles Randolph Uncles to the Catholic priesthood began with a solemn high mass at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church last Sunday morning. The celebrant war Father Uncles, and Father Carse was leonched, while Rev. Joseph Hanley, rector of Epiphany Apostolic College and as deacon- acted as the sermon was preached by Rev. Joseph Waring. It was an eloquent effort, abounding in practical advice for those who would serve the Master. During the course of his sermon he turned to Father Uncles and paid him a fine tribute for serving the church leaders and faithfully. He said that while he had not built any large edifices or thrilled great throngs by his eloquence, his services in preparing young men for the ministry was no less important that his light was reflected in the concenious work of others. He also spoke of the growth of St. Joseph's from 8 to 68 in the past 25 years. Bishop O. B. Corrigan and Monsignor Starr and Foley were among the prominent officers in attendance. Cardinal Johans sent a telegram greeting his enforced absence, which enclosed in fine tribute to the honored priest. The Cardinal ordained him at the Cathedral on December 19, 1891. A big congregation assembled at St. Barnabas Catholic Church, where man waseper services were held at night. Father Uncles was the celebrant. Rev. L. B. Pastorellen was deacon and Rev. Joseph Gooken subdeacon. Each service brought out the beauties of Catholic ceremonial, and both were historic because of the fact that they were the first of the kind in honor of a colored priest celebrating his silver jubilee. FUND FOR UNFORTUNATE CRIPPLE STILL INCOMPLETE Christmas has passed by once more, but it is one thing certain that the Christmas spirit of the readers of the Afro-American has not vanished. An appeal was made the week before Christmas in behalf of a young woman who had been compelled to give up her employment on account of her eyes needing treatment and her limbs needing braces. She had appealed to the Federated Charities, and that benevolent agency had asked that the Afro-American request its readers to give $20. Only $9.75 came the first week, and this sum has since been increased to $13.65. The goal has not been reached yet, but will be reached if the generous readers spare a small sum out of their earnings. All money sent to this office will be duly acknowledged in the columns of the Afro-American. The subscriptions to date are: Previously acknowledged $9.75 Jim .50 Bernice Cross 1.00 Land W. H. Richardson .50 Cash .15 W. I. Butler, Jr. .50 Tad .50 May E. Murphy .25 Virginia E. F. Murphy .25 Total $13.65 IN COURT OF APPEALS The cause of Liberian immigration and education will not lose the interest of the late Miss Caroline Donovan, according to a decision handed down by the Maryland Court of Appeals at Annapolis Thursday morning. The opinion was in the case of Robert Boyy and eight other heirs of Miss Donovan and versus the American Colonization Society. At the suggestion of the late Mayor Perdinand C. Latrobe Miss Donovan set aside in 1886 rents from certain properties on Charles street as a fund colored people in emigrating from the country to Liberia, reserved the funds for death in 1890. While some of the money was used in aiding emigration from this country, the applicants were so small that a big sum accumulated. In October 1913, $6,551 of the accrued funds turned over to Rev. Dr. Ernest Loyce Donovan institution to this country to be used for Liberian education. With this fund as nuclous, the Carolina Donovan Institute was established in Liberia, with Rev. John H. Reed as president. Robert Souby and other heirs petitioned City to have the trust dissolved. The American Colonization Society filed demurrers, which were not sustained. A appeal was then taken, with the result that the lower court was reversed. The decision of the Court of Appeals is especially gratifying to Appaloosa as financial agent, handles the fund. He says that it means a great benefit to the cause of Liberian education. Seven Hundred Dollars Presented Priest—Nearly One Thousand Persons in Attendance Protestant and Catholic, each anxious to do honor to the man, filled St. Peter Claver's Hall Monday night, where civic exercises brought the silver jubilee of Father Uncles to a close. The audience was a representative one, and there was not a person present but who was an intense admirer of the first colored priest to be ordained in this country. Mr. C. Marcellus Dorsey, chairman of the committee of arrangements, presided. In opening the exercises, Mr. Dorsey recounted the achievements of Father Uncles as a priest and declared that he was a firm believer in colored men preparing for the priesthood. Mr. Thomas A. Johnson delivered an address extolling the biblicalian Father James J. Nally, of St. Peter Claver's Church, in paying his tribute, declared that he wanted to attend the golden jubilee of Father Uncles. Wm. C. McCardt told of the esteem all classes of citizens, regardless of creed, bad for the guest of honor. Dean William Pickens, of Morgan College, made a decided hit with the audience by a witty address of praise in which the wit was directed into an eulogy of the priest. Mr. Clarke L. Smith declared that Father Uncles had made himself an enduring figure to the people of this city and State. City Councilman Harry S Cummings recounted the many years he had known the jubilant, and praises his services to the church, education and the race. All was attention as Mr. Frank A. Simmons, treasurer of the local committee, arose to present Father Uncles a token of esteem from Protestants and Catholics. He told the guest of honor that it was a purse containing over $700, a small token of the regard in which he is held. Father Uncles replied in a modest address, and thanked the people for their kindness and interest. During the evening music was rendered by Prof. G. S. Mason's Orchestra, Mr. Clarence Lowery, the Musical Art Club, Prof. L. E. Toomey, director, and a quartette, composed of Mrs. Theresa Stewart, Mrs. Anna Hazelton Lee, Mr. Maurice Butler and Mr. Nelson Tunstall, with Prof. Herbert Y. Johnson as accompanist. accuse Mr. Harry Wade read a number of letters of regret and words of praise from persons in other sections of the country.

Henry Dorsey, of New Orleans, and Father Joseph Burgess, of Rock Castle, Va., colored priests; Chris J. Perry, editor of the Philadelphia Tribute; Father Hannigan, of Richmond, Va., and Jesse Binga, the Chicago bunker. Father Uncles spoke as follows: "My dear friends,— "I thank you most heartily for your cordial greeting and extraordinary generosity, the extraordinary comes the climates of thousands and thousands of youth are still my friends. For this I thank God, and I thank you. "Blessed is he that has many friends, even if he has no dollars; most unhappy he that has no friends; most if he is a millionaire. How grateful then, and how happy must I be, now that I have many dollars and friends "The honors now showered upon me are to be accepted rather, officially than personally; they are, as they should be, accorded rather to the priest than to the man. one of yourselves, you own kith and kin, your own blood and blood, a man generally, without regard to rank or class. the honors you pay are, therework, to the mission, the office, the Nevertheless, an experienced mine this evening is pleasant and accepted and I rejoice in the fact, that press regards this testimonial as no less creditable and honorable to you than to the recipient. Though jubilees are always times for rejoicing, and the measure of one's joy is the greatness of the blessings conferred, yet, even in the hour of joy and triumph, the jubilarian can scarcely refrain from rejoicing on Duty and Responsibility, remembering, how much good has failed to do, recalling transposition and delinquency, even minutes of the inerrance of the judgments of Heaven. m. "Twenty-five years a priest of God! The more announcement suggests a refrain which, like most good music, has notes of sadness as well as of joy. Though all anniversary is as well as of the sake of the pleasure of time, of the whence no traveler returns," yet as I have health and strength, as my gait is still agile and nimble, as my mind is strong and alert, as my mind is glad, and young as I ought, and young as I ought to God for these and other blessings innumerable. "After twenty-five years! The meeting of intimate friends, the congratulations of loving and caring bakers, the presence of twenty-five years of earnest labor and utmost FATHER CHARLES R. UNCLES service, the hope of living yet longer to help others along the strait and narrow path, these facts, I say, these thoughts and aspirations, can not but fill my heart with gladness and gratitude. "Twenty-five years have flown by! How numerous the changes, how great the improvements in the Monumental City, in the State of Maryland, in the State of Maryland, in the same time the Society of St. Joseph has grown, constantly increasing in numbers, in men and means, in efficiency, in achievement. The great tree fructifying a hundred-fold. May its ramifications multiply, may its blossomings grow more and more abundant! And may we, within the next twenty-five years, many colored priests in this country! "For all that has been commendable in my life and labors, I here and now gratefully give credit to Almighty God to my parents, and to my brothers, all the time that I have attended, especially to my teachers in St. Joseph's and St. Mary's. Seminaries. And I give unstinted praise and unqualified thanks for all the good that I have done, and for the zealous and efficient missionaries, the Fathers of the Society of St. Joseph. "Nor am I unmindful of what I owe to you, my dear friends. Gladly, therefore, do I seize this opportunity to assure you of my heartfelt appreciation of all that I owe to your sympathy and friendship and encouragement. Yet beg one of us to help you in your prayers. Ask Almighty God to strengthen me, to protect me, to make me so serviceable as to win His favor and deserve your approval. God bless you! God bless all my friends and benefactors!" BISHOP BOSS SAILS New York, January 11—Bishop I. N. Ross, who has charge of the West African work of the A. M. E. Church, and Rev. L. J.

Pledge now! HOSPITAL TO HAVE FREE DISPENSARY New Feature at the Provident Hospital to Start Soon--A Number Have Not Paid Pledges The physicians of the city and the board of directors of the Provident Hospital have about completed arrangements for the opening of a clinic there within a week or two. It is hoped to make the clinic a boon to sufferers who cannot afford the employment of a physician. The dispensary will be managed on the same plane as are those of other city hospitals. Those interested in the work that the hospital has been doing are confident that the dispensary will fill a long-felt need, and will make a most effective agency in allaying human suffering. The physicians of the city have volunteered their services and will take turns in being in attendance during the hours that the dispensary is open. The colored physicians have studied at the best medical colleges in the country and are in every proficient in their profession and in dispensary work. Several pharmacists have also offered their services in putting up medicines. The hospital was remodeled two years ago, making it one of the most imposing in the country managed by the race. A handsome new front and general overhauling of the interior were among the improvements. The institution has just been repainted throughout by Mr. James Short, who contributed his services. As those interested in the hospital view the new aspect of things, they are loud in their praises of the generosity of Mr. Short. During the campaign to raise funds to pay off the indebtedness, a number of subscriptions were pleaded. While many of these have been paid, there is yet a number outstanding. It is hoped that the delinquents will pay up shortly, as the management is in need of funds in order to make the hospital one of far-reaching service. Dr. Harry F. Brown, superintendent of the institution, has been working hard to place the hospital on a high plane. "The general public has no idea," he told a representative of the Afro-American, "how hard those interested in the welfare of Provident Hospital, along with a number of the doctors, have worked to make it a fine hospital in every way. It is our desire to make it do as effective a work as Freedmen's Hospital, Washington, the Douglass Hospital, Philadelphia; Provident Hospital, Chicago, and similar institutions are doing. "You can not only be treated in the best manner at Provident Hospital, but you do not have to sacrifice your self respect in getting treatment. I look forward with a great deal of interest to the opening of the dispensary. All Baltimore should aid in making our hospital second to none in every particular." TENDERS RESIGNATION Mr. Thaddeus Copeland, after eighteen years of raffish service as superintendent of the Sunday School of Bethel A. M. E. Church, tendered his resignation at the meeting of the Sunday School board Tuesday night. He said that he felt that he had worked long enough and that another should take up the work now. The resignation was received with much regret, and a committee was appointed to plan a suitable testimonial. Mr. George S. Whyte was elected to succeed him. Pay your E. M. C. A. Pledge now! First Colored Man to Receive Appointment on School Board of Greater New York. New York, January 11.—Dr. E. P. Roberts, of 242 W. 53rd street, was appointed a member of the Board of Education by Mayor Mitchel Monday. He is the first colored man to receive such an appointment. The late Samuel Scotton was a member of the Board of Education of Brooklyn, serving from 1904 to 1908. This was before the consolidation of Brooklyn and New York city, however. The large Negro population of New York city is thought to have made Mayor Mitchel see the necessity of having a colored member on the Board of Education. Though there are no separate schools here there are many questions of vital concern to the educational welfare of the colored people of the city, and a man of the caliber of Dr. Roberts is needed to present the racial side. Some of the pessimists seem to think that the mayor is again making a bid for Negro votes, as it is understood that he will be a candidate for re-election on a fusion ticket next fall. He was elected on a fusion ticket, and promised the colored people before his election that he would give them a square deal in every way. He has not rewarded the race with appointments to office until he named Dr. Roberts. The mayor is a personal and political friend of President Wilson. The appointment of Dr. Roberts is distinctly gratifying to his hosts of friends. He has served as a medical inspector for the Board of Education. Among those who endorsed him for the position to which he has just been appointed were Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, head of Hampton Institute. It may be noted that William G. Wilcox, president of the Board of Education, is also president of the board of trustees of Tuskegee Institute. Dr. Roberts is a man of varied activities, being connected with the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, the Y. M. C. A., National Medical Association, New York County Medical Society, Pathological Society, Manhattan Medical Society and the Dunham Club. He has charge of the clinic at St. Cyrani's Episcopal Church. He was an intimate friend of the late Booker T. Washington. Dr. Roberts was married in 1912, but his wife died a few months thereafter. He is a brother of Dr. Charles H. Roberts, a dentist with offices in Harlem. ON LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD Borough President Marcus M. Marks announced the appointment Wednesday of Rev. H. Arthur Booker, pastor of St. Paul's Baptist Church, to membership on one of the district school boards. His term will be for five years. Mr. Booker lives at 347 W. 38th street. BISHOP WAITERS AND DR. DROUS IS ST LUKE HOSPITAL New York, January 12.—Bishop Alexander Walters, senior prelate of the A. M. E. Zion Church, is seriously ill at St. Luke's Hospital. The rumor was circulated Sunday that he was dying and wanted to pass his remaining hours at his home, 208 W. 134th St. This was denied, however, by his wife and faithful attendant, Mrs. Leila Walters. The prelate has been ill for several months. He is widely known for his efforts to secure the race an honorable place in the national Democratic party. In another private room is Dr. W. E. B. DuBols, editor of the Crisis. He underwent an operation several weeks ago and last week another was performed to remove one of his kidneys. He, too, is a very sick man, but his physicians have hopes that he will be able to be up and around again. Booker T. Washington was a patient at St. Luke's Hospital during his last illness. He was taken to Tuskegee Institute, however, two days before he died. REV. DAVIS ORDAINED Rev. Spurgeon Davis was ordained to the Baptist ministry at a council of ministers held at Union Baptist Church Monday. He passed a good examination, Rev. J. R. L. Diggs acting as eatechizer. Rev. A. B.

The approaching centennial of the birth of Frederick Douglass will be the occasion for a monster celebration at Bethel A. M. E. Church on the evening of February 14. A local committee, headed by Dr. Ernest Lyon, is working with might and main to make the Baltimore celebration one of the biggest in the country, and one at which ample tribute will be paid the life and services of the illustrious son of Maryland. A meeting of the committee was held at Pythian Castle Tuesday afternoon, at which plans for holding the celebration were discussed. The general opinion was that the exercises should be in keeping with the greatness of Douglass. The committee decided to invite Rev. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, to deliver the principal address. Dr. Ransom is one of the most eloquent speakers in the country, and is certainly a man who could do justice to such a character as Douglass. Rev. George F. Bragg, Dr. William Pickens and Mrs. John L. Hitchens will also speak. An attractive literary and musical program will also be offered. The invocation will be by Rev. Dr. William M. Alexander and the benediction will be offered by Rev. Dr. L. Z. Johnson. Letters will be sent out to prominent men and women within the next few days asking for subscriptions in order that the affair may be made a most commendable one. The following sub-committees were announced: Program—Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr. Rev. A. L. Gaines, Rev. Junius Gray, S. S. Booker, George A. Watty, and Dr. William Pickens. Publicity—W. L. Fitzgerald, Rev. B. A. Callis, Daniel H. Murphy, Alexander Williams and George B. Brown, invitations and literature—Dr. F. N. Cardozo, Prof. Mason A. Hawkins, Dr. B. F. Browne, Rev. L. Z. Johnson, and Elmer Henderson. Music—George B. Murphy, S. S. Booker and Howard E. Young. Finance—William L. Fitzgerald, Rev. A. B. Callis, John H. Murphy, Alexander Williams, George B. Brown, Daniel H. Murphy and James Henry Hammond. The next meeting of committees will be held at Pythian Castle, McCullough and Preston streets, Tuesday, January 16, at 5 P. M. As is generally known, Frederick Douglass was born a slave in Talbot county. He was brought to Baltimore at an early age and placed with a family named Auld in Southeast Baltimore. He learned to read and write, and while pursuing the Columbian Orator came across the name of Douglass, which he adopted as his own. Tiring of slavery, he escaped to the North. He came into contact with some of the leaders in the anti-slavery cause, and delivered his maiden speech at a meeting where William Lloyd Garrison also spoke. His fame as an orator grew up and he was one of the leaders in the fight against slavery. At one time a price was placed upon his head and he escaped to England. After the Civil War he filled many positions of trust, including that of Minister to Haiti and marshal for the District of Columbia. He died at his home in Anacostia, D. C. in February 1895. Though he came to Baltimore many times his last appearance here was at the High School commencement in June, 1894, when he delivered the address to the graduating class.

Simmons Wednesday, March 16, 2014, of service on the petit jury, and is now serving on the Grand Jury. AN EXPENSIVE FLIRTATION: Hagerstown, Md., January 11. —The other day J. F. Smith, white, began to brood over the nearness of the time when Hagerstown will be "dry" and proceeded to get his "fill" before there will be nothing but spring water left. He ambled down Jonathan street, passed Harmon's Hotel, the Hotel Curtis and Frank Key's place and was nearing the jail when he spied two, good-looking colored girls—Misses Blanche Hawkins and Elizabeth Hawkins. "Come on girls," he said, "you're both nice looking." The girls walked fast, and he be- sechingly said, as he grabbed one of the girls and pushed her against a house: "Oh don't get mad, I have some money." As one girl ran, he called: I am not crazy, but, baby, you know." A police officer gathered him in then, and he plead guilty to assault and was fined ten bones; for disorderly conduct. WOMEN START CAMPAIGN TO SAVE FREDERICK DOUGLASS HOME New York—The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs has begun a vigorous campaign to raise $55,000, the sum necessary to pay off the mortgage on the house of the late Frederick Douglas at Amherst, Washington, Mary M. Tallman of Bastille, president of the association, is devoting month and energy to the work of the campaign, which is attracting nation wide attention. In her efforts to bring Mrs. MRS. MARY B. TALETT, PRESIDENT NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COULED WOMEN'S CLUBS, BUFFALO, N. Y. MRS. MARY B. TALLEST, PRESIDENT NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS, BUFFALO, N. Y. the matter before the public for action Mrs. Tallett has the full cooperation of the general officers of the organization, the executive committee and the various state federations of women's clubs. The Douglas home proposition was taken up at the biennial meeting of the national association held at Baltimore in August, 1919. At this meeting a committee was appointed to consider the advisability of assisting the trustees of the Frederick Douglas Historical association, which has charge of the home, to liquidate the debt on the home which is of long standing. In its report on the matter the committee finds that under a special act of congress this association was created, first, to preserve to prosperity the memory of the life and character of the late Frederick Douglass, and, second, to collect, collate and preserve a historical record of the inception, progress and culmination of the antislavery movement in the United States and to assemble in the homestead of the late Frederick Douglass, generally known as Cedar Hill, in the village of Amocosta, in the District of Columbia, all such suitable exhibits of records or things illustrative or commemorative of the antislavery movement and history as may be donated to said association or acquired by purchase, request or other lawful means. After careful consideration of all the facts the committee concludes that this is the psychological moment for the association to show its true worth and prove that the women of the race can measure up to those able sainted women of the race like Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Amanda Smith, Francis Ellen Watkins Harper and others who passed through the fire of slaves and stollen the test. We believe, says the committee, that the attainment of the goal depends upon the enlistment of every man, woman, boy and girl of the colored race in America. We seriously realize that it will require us to mobilize all the resources of our association and show that we are not afraid to put ourselves on record as being able to save the home by one day's cooperative effort. We purpose to call the largest possible number of people, especially the boys and girls, in this part of the work of our association, relying upon race loyalty and pride as the energizing power. We purpose to employ such methods as will enable us to use every resource within our power for the accomplishment of this task. The need is concrete, and we know that our share toward saving the home is comparatively small. This, however, will give courage to feel that by all working together it can be accomplished. We will thus place our association on record as saying "I will" to our program of advancement. We believe that every boy and girl should become a co-operating member in this program, and with that in view we earnestly urge every woman's club to mobilize our boys and girls. The public schools are asked to observe the one hundredth anniversary of Mr. Douglass' birth on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 11, 1917, by a short program at which each child is asked to contribute 1 penny on that day to pay for one nail to be used in the renovation of the Douglass home. In the northern and eastern cities, as well as in the south and west, day school pupils are asked to contribute, and Day school superintendents all over this country are asked to hold a short memorial service on Sunday Feb. 13, 1917, and ask each child so contribute I penny toward the saving of this home. The question so doubts will be asked by many. "Is it worth while?" The committee answers strongly. "Yes." For who can measure the burrowing patterns of this great work, the imagination that will be given to the boys and girls of our race. It will stir their hearts to greater joy for them so know that they have a part in this great work and thus they express their gratitude to the silent memory of families, the mother, grandmother and丈孪. Every man, woman, boy, girl or child who takes a share in the recollection of this home into a partnership with the women in preserving to properly the home of the greatest man of our race of his time. To anyone our women to greater activity the committee has decided that it will place upon punishment the name of every individual or club that contributes the sum of $20, and to the club which sends the largest amount over $25 a special tablet will be placed in the Doylehouse home in its name. This done that our children in the years to come when paying a risk to this society may read the names of loyal race men and women who have proved take the occasion, so long brought against the race, that it shows no gratitude for benefactors if doing so costs dollars and cents. It takes $55,000 to save and restore the home and grounds of the Dongliss estate. We have deemed it advisable to appoint a special treasurer to look after the funds. All money collected should be sent to Mrs. Nettle L. Napier, 125 Fitzharris avenue, north, Nashville, Tenn. Feb. 12 is the one hundredth anniversary of Dongliss' birth. For further information address the president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, Mrs. Mary B. Talbart, 501 Michigan avenue, Buffalo, N.Y.

A nee etd THE APRO-AMERICAN BALTIMORE, JAN. 13, 1917 ———— ppepECrEULLY REFERRED “There is a certain order 0) gence that compliments itself by the Fellef that it has done something of fuperior brilliance when it takes sees at newspapers. If the motive Gin'be hidden behind some preten- fous ethical aim, the acuteness is the’ more pleasing. “Pillory the pa. pers" is the slogan of this class of Ranoying. lilliputians. ‘They have neither the faculty for fairness nor the ability to distinguish between gerviceable endeavors and mischiev- ‘Gus propensity. ‘They oftimes sit in fhe seat of the scorner because they do not know enough to realize that the object of their derision wears the badge of respectability with | which they can never adorn themselves.” Baltimore American ‘The Quality Amusement Co..composed of colored players financed by a white company has not only suspended per- formances in the Colonial Theatre, thie city, but has-been forced also to play only one week per month in the Howard Theatre, Washington, D. C.. instead of three weeks formerly. The management of the theatre Is said to have stated that he was unable to pay the high salaries the players demand- a As will be seen by a news article in another column of this paper a com- roittee of promineat women from all parts of the country has heen selected for the purpose of raising funds to release the mortgage on the home of ‘the late Frederick Dougiass. Caretul- ly tooking over the list’ we find {t does not contain the name of a single Bal- tlmore woman. Why is Baltimore thus Jgnored? It does seem to us that after Baltimore had entertained the Nation- al Association of Women's Clubs as it did last summer. at least one Baltl- sore woman should have been placed ‘on the committee 4s an honor if nothing more. Baltimore has some very excellent women within its con- fines and we can see no good reasons for this slight. We hope, however, to be able to survive. CASE FOR THE N. AWA. C. Pe An appeal has reached the oMce of the Afro-American from a writer In Chicago, 1, in behalt of Trving Wal- Tace, convicted solely on elrcum- stantial evidence of murder, and con- demned to the gallows. Ut is said that the Jury was influ- enced in its verdict by Its foreman, who made statements to the effect, ‘that “all Negroes are Wars, and most Negroes are arttul Wars." Such éx- pretsions of opinion as this made by the foreman when the prisoner was a colored man, are thot to have biased ‘the minds of the jurymen, that a mis- carriage of justice was the result, ‘The correspondent is engaged in ‘raising a fund of some six or seven hundred dollars, which witl be used sn gathering evidence and perfecting “an appeal. He contiuess - “Pleasé understand I am hot averse te capital punishment, but I do hate “to see a Negro hanged by: the neck on purely circumstantial evidence, and Iam going to lend Wallace my sup- pert in an effort to see that the neces- sary money Is raised to"detray the ex- penses in connection with’an investi- gation and if necessary; cooperate with those who will see that his case is taken to the Supreme Court of the Tnlted States.” . ‘The above appeal fs a type of the many that come to the office of this paper in the effort to elicit contribu- ‘thoms, Accepting the word of our cor- respondent correct, injustice has - been done and both colored and white people would gladly contribute in or- der to right the wrong. ..

Briggs of Harvard, the retiring presi- dent of that body, stated the {deals of sportsmanship in terms that are well worth repeating: “Let us pursue the ideal, first of honest and generous preliminary ar- rangements; nest of a game ployed heart and soul, not mouth and fist; played by sportsmen, not by sporting men; by gentlemen, not muckers; played in. that perfect democracy which brings together on: equal terms men of all families and’all races, chos: en for nothing except character and sktl; played by men who are not beaten until the last hand Is out, or the last whistle blown, and are never beaten in the next game because they have been beaten in the last; played also, by men who have learned from their coaches, thelr committees, and their faculties, as well aa from their inborn and no longer corrupted sense of justice, that thc {t Is good to beat an opponent hard. it is inexcusable not to use him a Hetle better than you use yourself, not tc trust him a little better then you trust yourself; by men, who have learned also, that In athletics your opponent is either host or your guest, and that your warmest rival ia your warmest friend.” It Is the striving for such ideals a: these that has mage it'sossible fo colored men to gain places on athletic teams of Harvard, wher they were not wanted at Yale or Frinceton. THE DOUGLASS CENTEaAN Frederick Dougiaas Is easily one of the greatest men Maryland has pro- duced in all the years of its existence, and of this there can be ne question, consequently the celebration of his one-hundreth birthday should be ono befitting the birth of a man of his stands and character. Simply be- cause of the fact that he was a colored man, and was born under the adverse circumstances of slavery, no notice will be taken of the fact by the com- munity at large, It is therefore the greater reason why the colored people themselves should make.the occasion a memorable one. Every man, wom- an and child of color should frel an interest in the coming celebration and should give it cordial support. The time is now too short to make the cel- ebration just what it ought to be, but It can be made one that will give emphasis to what shall be done along this line In the future. ‘There are many monuments to men Jn this city who have not done more for their race and in their time than ald Douglass, and we wee no good reason why © monument to his mem- ory should not be ralsed in this city to his memory. Will we do it? WHY Xo? BE PAIR? We have not the slightest sympathy for evil doers more especially when they are caught and punished as they ought to he, but we are not the slight- est in sympathy when because a few evil doers among our race are appre- hended the whole race is made to bear the iniquities of the few. Just be- fore the Christmas holidays the news- papers were full of warnings against the criminal element of the whites who were supposed to have come to the city for the purnose of making a haul from the careless among the many shoppers. Numbers of special de- tectives were sent into the shopping centres for the purpose of trapping these light-fingered gentry, but there were no big head lines in the news- papers when a few of them were caught relleving the shoppers of their wealth. No indeed, not a bit. But when a few black men are caught do- ing practically the same thing, we hear'a hue and a cry that startles the ‘country from one end to the other ‘and gives Baltimore a black eye in the business world. Not long ago, Balti- more coulity was afrald to go out at nights because of the plundering habits of the white crooke, but little was said about It, they were white, but let a few black crooks get loose and columns upon columns are printed about it. * Perhaps we would have little to say about this kind of business, and care less, but to every single line of good things the white papers have to say about us: they will publish columns upon columns of our failings. Week after week, columns atter columns of our crimes, but the good things we do are so small and insignificant that it is a rare thing to see any of it pub- Ushed, Is this fair?’ -WWe think not. Publish our érimes if You will, give them all the-publicity you will, but along side of them tell the world of the good things we do and are doing. And we will be satisfied, nothing else ‘will be fair and nothing. else will be | satistying. THE AFRO-AMERICAN If with pleasure you are viewing any work a man is doing, If you like him or you love him tell him now; Don't withhold yourapprobation till the parson makes oration, “And he lies with snowy lilies o'er his brow: For no matter how you shout it he won't really care about ft; "He won't know how many ceardrops you have shed: Ifyou think some praise is due him, now's the time to slip it to him, ‘For he cannot read his tombstone when he’s dead, ‘More than fame and more than money is the Kind and sunny ‘nd the hearty, Warm approval of a friend, For it gives to life a savor and it makes you stronger, braver: "And it gives you heart and spirit to che end: If he earns your praise—bestow it; if you like him let him know ity Let the words of true encouragement be said; Do not wait till life is over and he’s underneath the clover, ‘For he cannot read his tombstone when he’s dead. WHY NOT HAVE A HOME EVANGELIST TLL CLEANING Word has been received. in this « In view of the fact that during the past year that here were fifty-four recorded Iynchings in the United ‘States, and probably many more not ‘recorded of which we have no know!- ‘edge, it does seem to us the height of folly for any one, no matter who he Is ‘or what position he occupies, to advo- cate colored people remaining in the /South, more especially when there are 'so many opportunities opening for them in the Northern and Western states. No man is safe, or woman elther for that matter while conditions remain as they are In the South. Just think of it: fourteen lynchings in one state, in which are included, not only men but women and ehfldren And yet we are told to remain in the South, and especially In a state that gives absolutely no protection what. ever to Its citizens, who happen to be born under the handicap of a colored tace. It Is simply outrageous even to ithink of it, - And yet, strange as it may appear, the newspapers; the pulpits and the general public are horrified over con- ditions in Europe, and are holding public meetings sympathising for the sufferings of the people of Belgium who are being carried away from thelr homes into Germany, and elsewhere, while at thelr very doors conditions far worse than any In Europe prevall and do mot cause a ripple on the water. It Is the shame of America and should bring a blush to the cheeck of every American citizen, and as long as these conditions prevail, what right has any American citizen to ralse a yolce of protest ‘against Germany in Belglum, Turkey In Armenia, or victims of any other Buropean or Asiatic country. Amer- fea must first clean ita.own doorsilis before recommending its neighbors across the waters how they shall clean chetra. REV. GEORGE STEPHENSON DEAD Winchester, Va.

Keep it plugged PAUL LAURENCE DUNEAR THE BETTER THINGS Dear Readers, I wish for you all A Happy New Year, and that you may be brave to stand alone if need be and face the trials, the cares and the losses that come to the best of us. The sum of human happiness is not the things we have, but the things we used, not what we see, but that which we choose, that mar or bless our life. Often by our side are the things that make for us life worth living, just the smallest perhaps of all our possessions, and it is that which we have overlooked; we look too far afield for the things that would often fill our lives with love and beauty. How often we try to be or appear to others, that which we know within our heart we are not, and fail to realize that it is not what we seem but what we are that counts, that gives us the joy of life or make our hearts ache with an ache that seems at times most unbearable. It is not always our fair weather friend or the thing in life that we think is fair, but what is true and pure, not the dreams we have, but the good we do and the brave stand we make for that which is good, and the loving thoughtfulness for others, that will fill our crown with precious jewels. Every little deed we so willingly do, every little thoughtful act for another, every little gift, lovingly bestowed, every little prayer, and above all the way we live are things that make for peace, happiness and a better life. God is love and his mercy is boundless and his grace will overflow our hearts when we have a cross to bear alone, not alone either if we accept his counsel and guide it. MADAME M. A. HUNTER CULTURE CLASS GRADUATES Commencement exercises were held by the graduating class of Mine. M. A. Hunter's School of Instruction at her Beauty Culture Portors, 1824 Dearbill avenue, host Friday night, January 12. The graduate was Mrs. Mumie L. Gray of 1213 Park avenue. The junior class was in attendance and the exhibition of work done by them is worthy of special mention. Several of the former graduates were present, among them, Miss Nellie Wilson of Criseau, Md., who is doing a fine business in her home town. The class invited their friends and relatives which with those invited by the principal crowded the portors to their capacity. The exercises were quite interesting and Mine. Hunter received many congratulations on her successful efforts in making her graduates self-sustaining. Her school is open for instruction. Diplomas awarded. MAYNARD ISHWOOD, DIES Daisy, Md., January 11.—Mrs. Maria Johnson and miss Victoria Hall have returned home after a visit to friends in Philadelphia. Mr. Moses Dorsey spent Tuesday night with friends in Glenwood. Messrs. Eugene and Cornelius Prather, of Montgomery county, visited their sister, Miss L. E. Prather, who is teaching school here. Mr. Alexandrin France and daughter. Mildred, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Green Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jackson spent Sunday with Mr. Frank Tyler. Mr. Maynard W. Ishwood, a young farmer died at his home Sunday morning after several months of suffering. He was 26 years of age and is survived by his mother and one brother, and many friends. Many Baltimoreans attended the funeral which was conducted by Rev. L. Williams at Howard Chapel, St. Louis. enables us to fight nobly, though we fail. Do not waste the least bit of sunshine and love, because the day will come, when that which we have wasted, will be valuable to us, and we may wish that we had not been so reckless with so precious a gift. Happiness is a great gift and we all want to be happy, but there is one thing that is greater than happiness and that is DUTY. When we do our duty cheerfully we will tackle those cheerfully, and with determination to wrestle with it and keep on wrestling with it until we conquer it and be able to stand up—and be stronger and nobler for the battle we've won. It is never too late to hope, never too late to fight for victory over self. Some one has said that "fate is but the shadow of fear, a specter born not of truth but of dreams, the unhealthy dream of the soul that is mastered by fight." We often hear the remark, "I have done all that I can, but I'm up against it here." But have you done all that you could, are you sure there is nothing more that you can do? Let us try it again this year. Let us work heard for the better things in life. I know at times it seems discouraging, but every failure should be an incentive to tackle it with a stronger determination to win than ever. We have so many things to fight for, for our children and the betterment of our people generally. First of all we need better schools for our children and more of them. Second, we need to get together and equip our hospital so we will be perfectly independent of Johns Hopkins or any other hospital. We want a hospital that is worth while, one that no matter what our trouble, we can get the treatment needed at our own. We want to be independent of the hospital that will hardly give you first aid treatment or if they do, will then remove you because they do not cater to Negroes even though you die in the moving. We want to see the Y. W. C. A. in a building better suited to its needs. We want to see the completion of the Y. M. C. A. And last but not least, we would like to see Mother Bethel on her feet and her membership increased to such an extent that she need fear no longer the stuggle to keep afloat, and that her pastor become a live wire and awake to the fact that the cause he is working for is one that demands the best that is in him. It is up to you mothers to start the ball a rolling. See that the men wake up and with your undivided help, get for us better schools, a better hospital, a new Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A., and better attendance and less debt on our churches, and last but not least take care of your girls and boys; do not busy to be their chum and their companion, so that we may have less need for such plays as, "Where Are My Children" and "Is Any Girl Safe" and less girls and boys treading the treacherous path of shrimp.
