California Eagle

Volume 28 Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., June 12, 1915 For A Bigger and Better Organ for the People of this State FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM The ladies are now getting into active work selling seats and interviewing explaining and inviting to "Fifty Years of Freedom." The rehearsals at the Shrine Auditorium will probably take place Sunday afternoon or Monday night. All should notice the papers to make certain. Stage tickets will be given out then. The box offices where reserved seat tickets can be obtained at the Southern California Music Store, is now opened and all who have exchange tickets should go there at once. Those who have tickets for sale should make a very active canvass wherever you are working in business, dispose of them to both races. You will find the lady who has charge of sale tickets in rear of Southern California Music Store, 332-334 South Broadway. Those who have money for tickets should turn money over to Mrs. Malcolm Patton at the Colored Y. M. C. A., 831 San Pedro Street, by Saturday afternoon. We call the attention of the public to the prices of tickets. The first 12 rows at $1.50, next 12 at $1.00, then 75, 50 and 35 cents on the floor. Dress circle prices, $1.00 and 50 cents. There are 1,000 seats at 25 cents. Balcony seats are 50 and 25 cents. The prices are within the range of every one. All ticket sellers are given five per cent, thus they can secure their own tickets if they sell tickets enough. This performance should be made a splendid jubilee, showing the great progress of our race. It is a remarkable history and will be well presented by the masters of the profession of our race. Music, business, profession, oratory, law, medicine, drama, divinity in all the eloquence of our people will be there. TICKETS SELLING Among the parties being made up, for boxes and seats for the performance for Tuesday evening are the names of Mrs. W. S. Bartlett of West Adams street and friends; Mrs. J. B. Long, Alden Place; Mrs. Eugene W. Britt, West Adams; Mrs. W. S. Hook of Menlo avenue, has sent her check for six dollars; Col. H. Z. Coborn of the Grand army. The German American Bank and First National Bank are buying tickets. We expect a representative audience. But all who attend should buy their reserved seats before the performance. If you wait until Tuesday evening for the crowd and one person selling tickets, you will lose half the performance. Secure them now at the Southern California Music Co., 332-334 South Broadway. A notable feature of the evening will be the operatic solo by Madam Ella J. Hughey. Another of tender feeling by Mrs. Ella Shaffer, --?-- by Dudley Brick, rendered by Prof. H. Douglas Green; Miss Minnie Albrilter, a lyric solo; Mr. John Hall-as Old Black Joe; Miss Jaunita Patton, in a southern melody, Columbia, the Daughter of the Regiment. Mrs. Anna Strode Neill's String Jubilee Quartettes, and choruses by the Hall Jubilee, who are the most popular jubilee singers of the city and state. In the Battle Scene their rendition of "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground" will be a most enthusiastically received. They have a spendid future before them. Mr. Julius Lomax, banjo solo, is well rendered. Leaders of great choruses are Prof. W. W. M. Byrun and Prof. W. V. Howard and Prof. H. Douglas Greer, who directs one of his own compositions in a double quartette. Special mention should be made of Prof. Wm. Wilker, in an or- ```markdown ``` iginal composition for the piano. Chorus of performers and the entire audience will be led by Rev. Alfred C. Williams. The poets of the race are Mrs. Eva Carter Buckner, Mr. E. A. Carter, original selections. Orchestras are in the typical home scene. One of the ideal homes of this city is that of Capt. Bratton and his wife. They will be seen in their study with their children playing in the orchestra assisted by their father on traps and drums who plays delicate peices for piano, cello and violin. Little Miss Jaunita Beatrice Thompson in her inaugulative solo presentation of delsante movements in poetical rymth, will be charming. Mrs. W. H. Markham at the piano and Mr. H. F. Wheaton, leader of the orchestra—Providence S. T. C. orchestra, is to give body to the entire performance. This is only a part of the splendid jubilee. PASADENAN GRADUATES FROM HARVARD J. K. Beek The many friends of Mr. Clarence Harry Henderson, about Los Angeles, Pasadena and envoious will be delighted to learn that he has graduated from the Harvard Pharmacal School with honors. Journeying about three years ago from sunny Pasadena, the land of childhood to far distant Washington, Harry, as he is familiarly known, has made for himself in the midst of strangers, an enviable reputation. To his congenial spirit the living witness of many friends testify, while his class standing and scholarship has annexed the highest admiration and respect from the faculty. From the time that he set foot upon the distant stores of Washington, Harry has made every step by his honest intentions and conscientious efforts. He has labored four seasons during the year and seven days of each week, which alone bespeaks his ambition, energy and forbearance. That his moral and spiritual development has been kept in mind is portrayed by the fact that he has been and is at present a prominent member of the Washington Y. M. C. A., where he has resided continuously during his stay in Washington. Harry has the distinction of being well equipped in practical pharmacy, having enjoyed the distinctive advantage of being associated with the popular druggists, Gray and Gray, who have a national reputation for accuracy and integrity. It is well to add that Dr. and Mrs. Dr. Gray have been more than a source of delight to Harry's career as well as parental advisers during his moments of despair. Dr. Henderson will pursue a Cost Course at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, beginning in the fall. We cannot but bespeak for Dr. Henderson, a brilliant career, for no one endowed with the natural ability of Harry equipped with a diploma from Harvard and the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy can do other than succeed. THE CURTAIN FALLS L. K. Becks. Again the revolution of light, long and tiring months have passed and only home-sick students and fagged out instructors remained to tell the tale. Examinations heaped down, pressed and running over have ceased and the wails of the unfortunate, who failed, mingle with the hearty cries of those who succeeded. In the midst of it all, however, all unanimously consent in the midst of grief or pains to halt the closing day. A prosperous, busy and worthy session has been spent, filled with events, crowned with success and and closed with praise. The opening of the year witnessed upon the historic old campus, over 1500 seekers of diverse knowledge, and at the close of day, 157 stepped upon the platform, received the token of their labor and were filled. In athletics and in all departments of the school has been well represented. Football, which dominates the yearly events in sports found Harvard with a bad start but tied at the close of the year with Hampton and Lincoln, for the championship. Baseball brought to the varsity three wins and one defeat, while the academy team won both the football and basketball championships of the city, being undefeated. Basketball, cricket and tennis were all well received, but nothing marvelous was accomplished. Track reached its crowning year when on the 30th, the biggest meet ever held in this vicinity was staged under the A. A. U. Sanction. The well known Smart Set Team of New York, the Salem Atheletic Club and other big associations contested. But to the glory of old Harvard, was added another victory and the loving cup. Harry Martin, captain of the Harvard team and the National Junior champion, was easily the star of the meet, winning the individual cup. Prettier races were never seen and the day was fair. In the intellectual world, the stars from Harvard shone brightest. The college championship in debating was annexed. Fisk and 1890 MRS. N. P. GREGGS MRS. N. P. GREGGS Atlanta being among the victims. Among the visitors and lecturers at the school were the Ambassador from England, Prof. Bushnell Hart of Harvard, McConnel of Gammon, Miss Nannie Burroughs, Oswald; G. Villard and Pres. Spingarn of the N. A. A. C. P., Prof. Wm. Pickens, Mr. Alexander Jackson, the Harvard orator, Congressman Madden and many others. Music this year had its charms. Mr. Hayes, the greatest Negro tenor in America, Mrs. O. Walker of Cleveland, Madame Patti Brown, the William Jubilee Singers were among those who charmed the Harvardites. "The Children's Crusade" of 100 voices was beautifully rendered by the students. In the field of play the students successfully rendered "The Merchant of Venice", before a large audience. And now that it is all over, a matter of history and a thing of the past, the season graduated a fine senior class and leaves a junior class which is thrilly, ambidextr ```markdown ``` tions and energetic to take up the class next year. The out-going sophomores battered, beaten and humilated by the freshman class, enter the life of junior in misery and shame. A class larger than any previous in history and certified as one of the most energetic by faculty and students, passes now to the rank of Sophomore. To much cannot be said of the past team Freshman class for they were in everything, everywhere and as numerous as trees. And now in the closing hours during which the noise of yesterday is the silence of today, the air seems to whisper success to the graduates, prosperity to the various classmen and glory for old Harvard. A REAL SURPRISE PARTY. Last Wednesday evening at her home, the parsonage of the First A. M. E. church, Mrs. Bessie T. Greggs, wife of Pastor Greggs, was the victim of a real surprise party. Now, you wonder why I say victim. Well, it was like this, during the early part of the evening Rev. and Mrs. Greggs, and Mrs. M. Bailey were the guests at dinner with Mrs. John Wilson of 1543 E. Adams street. When the dinner was over and the happy guests returned to their homes Rev. and Mrs. Greggs finding their home in utter darkness, but on reaching the landing, Mrs. Greggs thought she discovered a noise within, and swung on to the pastor's arm, pleading with him not to enter and be the victim of Eld Stoo B To F To Sor an w share shares Minin which Wilso Spring G. Pi The week ence o Z. GREGGS burglars. But the preacher, being the fearless soldier that he is insisted upon entering in protest of his wife's then anxious screams. The house was filled, not with burglars, but living spooks, for the men had discarded their coats and the girls were lightly clad. They were the young people of the church, who planned and carried out the whole affair in unique fashion bringing with them flowers and refreshments in abundance. Probably the most pleasing amusement of the evening was the physiological contest introduced by Mr. P. M. Ridgway, who was assisted by Miss L. Hickmon in making the affair a success. Prizes were awarded to Miss M. James, first; Miss L. Maxwell, Mr. C. Bluett. Mrs. Greggs was the recipient of many beautiful presents, among which was an ivory toilet set, handsome pair of hand embroidered pillow cases, a purse ```markdown ``` containing $10.00 in gold from Rev. Greggs, and other beautiful tokens too numerous to mention. A VERY CREDITABLE DISPLAY. The Baby Day parade Thursday afternoon was a great success. There were nicely decorated floats, decorated ambulators, push carts and all the vehicles of babyhood, and with their pretty and precious contents, the dimple, smiling babies, made a novel and highly interesting spectacle for the thousands that crowded the curbs and pavements along the right of way of this unique procession. Our meritorious Day Nursery babies were in the procession in the large and commodious auto of Mr. Sidney Dones, who was the driver, prettily decorated with ferns and other plants, was loaded down with little dimple beauties, happy and vivacious, who were chaperoned by Mrs. L. V. Stewart, whose broad humanity and loving care have made the Day Nursery for our babies a source of deserved pride in our city and the state at large. This display was noticeably applauded along the line of march and most favorably commented on by the general public. We hope the effect of this public display of race philanthropy will attract a greater and more generous support of the efforts of Mrs. Stewart and those good ladies associated with her. Eldo Rado Gold Star Mining Company Stock Soon Will be Off The Market Big Rush On Now To Pay Up On Share And To Purchase The Limited Number of Shares Sorry will be the man or woman who fails to pay up on their share or who has not purchased shares in the Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company at their offices which are located at room 255 Wilson building, corner first and Spring street, Los Angeles.—N. G. Pitts, Pasadena. The editor of the Eagle this week looked over the correspondence of the company and marveled at the great progress of the company, which is on the verge of the complete installation of all of their machinery and will in a short time, begin the grinding and shipping of their ore. And there is no question of dividends being paid to the shareholders during the year 1915. ABSOLUTELY the strongest proof of the worth of this company is the fact that the employees of this concern, who are working at the mines near Searchlight are buying all the shares that they can, while in the office, we read an application from E. P. Williams, who is on the ground for five hundred additional shares. This speaks volumes for the work. Also Mr. E. L. Martin, Henry Pitts, and W. H. Howard, all employees on the works, who have each sent in application for five hundred additional shares in addition to the shares which they already hold. This is the greatest race enter- F prise and gives larger promises than any other in existence. The shares will, in a few days, be withdrawn from the market. As a shareholder ourselves, with an abiding faith in the future of the company, we urge all who are in arrears with their payments, to pay up and those who can possibly make the sacrifice to buy while you can before they go to a premium, as we have no doubt they will be non-purchasable long before 1916. The last shipment of material is now en route to the mines from the Harron, Ricard and McCome Machinery Merchants, 164-166 Los Angeles street, this city, consisting of all sorts of mining machinery, such as shafting pulleys, and everything that is needed in a reducing plant. The mill itself and crusher installed by the Keystone Iron Works, Inc., 965 N. Main street, this city, was designed by John Heamann, 252½ S. Main street. The gold separator, roasting machine and dryer, built by the Commercial Engine Co., 2424 Porter street, Los Angeles, and designed by James B. Freeman also of this city. The engines and hoists were installed by the Western Gas Engine Corporation, factory and office at 900 N. Main street, this city. The lumber and corrugated iron was furnished by the car loads and put on the ground by the Hammond Lumber Company of this city. The company auto truck was also bought from the Mission Motor Company of this city. So it can easily be seen at a glance this is no nightmare company, but a real one and it has already firmly established itself in the business annals of this community. The following is the company's pay roll, taken from the report of the company, filed with the Nevada Industrial Commission: With an additional amount of two per cent paid to the Nevada Industrial Commission, making a grand total of more than $2900.00 to June 1, 1915. And in addition to this add more than $100.00 per month for provisions furnished. It speaks louder than words of what Eldorado Company is actually doing. And all we have to say to our people is if you can possibly do so, do not fail to get in on the ground floor with this—the greatest of all Negro enterprises.

Church, 8th and Towne Ave. Mrs. Terrell is not only a great colored lecturer, but one of the best women speakers of the age Mrs. Terrell will tell you things about the race, you have never heard before. She represents the highest type of her sex of any race. Every man, woman and child, will be benefited by the address of this remarkable women. This paper bespeaks for her a large and appreciative audience that will be the better inspired for a greater endeavor for racial progress after they hear how she worked for success and won. When Mary Church Terrell graduated from college, some twenty years ago, her attainments were recognized as so remarkable that she was at once invited to become a member of the faculty. Instead, she married the brilliant young Harvard graduate to whom she was engaged and who is now a judge in the Fed- git om heving ant baling rep wor wo be done Sart } telephone Fair Oaks, 1485; residence 174°8.

Bryan It was David who said, "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season."—Psalm 1:3. Many of us differ in life and our need to life is not simple but complex. More than one truth is needed to enlighten the mind; more than one affection is demanded for satisfaction of the heart; more than one purpose should be served by human existence. The music of the world cannot be made on a harp with one single string. Hence the message to Germany had to please more than himself; It is not a single one but a plural one. So the little "boy of the Platt do you get that." So we will take you out of the rack, and you need not come back; but you may think it hard, but you shall never again play in our back yard. Let us stop the clansman Negro and we won't have any trouble. Clans may play. Let us Save the Flowers of Our Race. After reading the sermon delivered by Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson at the Dreamland rink at Central and Fifteenth street Sunday, what the preachers could do if they would. They could kill the saloon if they would, while the saloon would kill the church if they could. Among the many things he said was that the saloon and negro clubs were dragging down the flower of the Negro man hood and blighting young girls. He also urged the self-respecting colored residents to protest against the so-called Negro clubs and pool room dens of infamy. I will add this to what the Rev. Gordon McPherson has said: If such ministers as Rev.J. T. Hill, N. P. Greggs, E. W. Kinchen, C. H. Anderson, J. D. Gordon, W. J. J. Byers, W. A. Washington, J. Gordon, MePherson, D. L. McMickens, J. S. Webb, Rev. Burnett, E. R. Drivers, Edward W. J. Conquest, A. C. Williams, Rev. McKenney, L. C. Sheafe and Prof. T. A. Green of the Y. M. C. A., Forum and Sojourner Truth get out a petition and have each member of their church and friends sign it; then select attorney MacBeth or W. O. Tyler present it to Mayor-elect Sebastian and the incoming city council, protesting against allowing a woman to enter any club where whiskey, beer or wine is served. Experience teaches me not to have a preacher to present this petition but some attorney that the council will recognize not friend in the case but success. The club and pool room owners have no interest in the race further than the money they get, while the above names are those of people who represent God and humanity. Who will be the first one to get out his petition? Let us try and save the race. Many of the voters were neutral at the mayoralty election and were willing to sell to both candidates, but they are asking, has anybody here seen Prettyman, the missing manager of the five-dollars-win and two-dollars.lose-committee, He has made his get-away in his automobile, as that cannot be found. Braze up and hereafter vote for a principle and not money. The The committee will meet tomorrow at Watts. The colored people operate a knitting mill in Florida. The factory has a daily capacity of about sixty dozen garments and employs 25 operators. The factory is at Ocala, Florida. Following the in stallment of the machinery all the school children of the city, both black and white, were taken thru the building aud shown how garments are made. Mr George Giles is president. Mr. Nathaniel Singleton, ex-2nd lieutenant of the 23rd Kansas, ran said there is only 12,000 colored votes there. He got 2,000 more votes than there were colored voters, yet in Los Angeles they claim 25,000 colored votes, yet the colored candidate got only 1960 votes. There is something dead up the branch, do you get me? Large oaks from little acorns grow, and the killing of Ferdinand has caused eight nations to come to blows, and if Roumania, Bulgaria and Greece can be drawn in there will be fourteen nations at each others' throats, nominally to avenge a single murder. So let us look after the little things. Prof. C. A. Biggers, A. M., the president of the literary society at Mount Zion B. church and head of the business college, is also in charge of the employment bureau at Los Angeles. He spoke Sunday afternoon before the Y.

What is the matter with that referendum petition that purposes to bring the non-partisan bill be- fore the people? _ EDITORAL In last week’s issue appears, “Some of the Reasons Why” a large number of the race’s busi- ness concerns are not such a pro- found success and directs on the lines success may be made, if bus- iness concerns of the race which is not conducted on the unfortu- nate lines condemned, need take embrace. It does not mean you and we have no call to defend those of the race who just will not defend themselves. The writer of the lines to which some have thoughtlessly taken exception, is our Pasadena correspondent, Mr. S. B. Carr, whose race prides no person who has observed his ‘course on all matters effecting the race, will question in a char- acteristic way. The writer calls a spade a spade and makes. due qualifications when he says, “niany colored business men have neither kept pace with ‘the broad- ening and discriminating, tastes of the colored customs, nor with the specialized efforts of their white competitors”. There is no error in this statement, though in justification, che might have cited such excellent race showing as the Prentice Department Store >and a number of other race busi- ness establishments that make ex- cellence their motto. ONLY A SUGGESTION. There is no question of the fact that the Colored. vote elected Mayor-elect Sebastian. The 8962 vates cast by the Negro voters of this city on election day was the balance of power, and the power- ful influence of our ministers, es- pecially Dr. Kinchen and distin- guished lay citizens, influenced a majority of the race to vote to go to Sebastian. The vote also of the Negro citizen on the jitney ordinance also demonstrates that the race has learned how to re- sent premeditated igsults, and hereafter the jitney | owners should cease drawing an odious color line. |As a respectfully tendered sug: gestion, should: Mayor Sebastian wish to repay’ the Negro for his -sympathy and vote in the recen' city election it might be well fo: “him to consult with Rev. Kin chen, who. was his friend and whe has at heart the best interests o “this city. _ |All the services at Mount Zion Baptist church Sunday were up ‘to their usual high standard.

BRYAN. ~The press and especially thé atavesnea=ate seemingly. much perturbed over the resignation of ‘Mr. William Jennings Bryan from the cabinet of President. Wilson. ‘This resignation was the result of Secretary of State Bryan dite fering with’ President Wilson as to the manner Germany should be addressed diplomatically anent the destruction of the Lusitania, and the manner in which an ans- wer should be made to the latest communi¢ation of Germany in further elaboration and extenua- tion of the circumstances attend- ant on the same. Mr. Bryan was well within his rights when he insisted on dictating a reply to Germany's note. He had accepted the portfolio of Secretary of State, the mast important posi- ‘tion of any administration, with a full knowledge of its require- ments and his individual rights. ‘His position in charge of Ameri- cam foreign affairs, during the European embroilment, had made Mr. Bryan most intimately acquainted with every circum- stance of the present misunder- standing and the only man in the nation today who knows the real imminence of our danger of an attive part in the great world’s struggle. In resigning his place in the cabinet of President Wil- son he has shown his high order e patriotism, his superior intelli- gence and his unwillingness to be even partly responsible for the President's jingoism that is so likely to force this now peaceful Nation into a sanguinary war with Germany, a country that has given America some of its best -eitizens. The California Eagle is not “taking sides” in the European war, but it is emphatic in declar- ing it is opposed to an interna- tional war that would plungs the United States into similar condi- tions that have made of Europe one vast charnel house, and it ap- proves all the well directed cau- tion shown by Ex-Secretary of State Bryan in his controversy with the president, in his attempt to avoid further international complications. i contibued from page 1 eral Caurt at the Nation’s Capitol.

WHEN WOUNDED DURING THE CIVIL WAR. The war of 1860 contains many interesting unwritten stories of the acts of men and women exemplifying the Christ spirit that is innate in the children of men. During that civil struggle which brought freedom alike to both Colored and White people, the great state of Michigan contributed its share of men and munitions of war for the prevention of the seperation of the states and for the freedom of the people and upon her roll of honor there are to be found the name of Patrick Comer of Battle Creek, Mich., who was wounded in the south in the operations of the northern forces against the southern and became detached from his command and left to die near Brundage, Alabama, seventy-three miles Southeast of Montgomery. He was found at the Big Spring by Hattie Griffin, a ten year old Colored girl, who had gone there early one morning for a pail of water for the family and who returned to the cabin and reported to her parents that a Yankee soldier was down at the Spring so wounded that he could not walk. Although there was danger of punishment by the master class for any favor shown to the enemy of the south, these Colored folks decided to go down to the Spring and see the wounded soldier, this they did and decided to take him to their little hut and nurse him back to health. The grown-up people went to the field every day to work leaving the soldier at home with the children and little Hattie being the elderest of all, the burden of handing the wounded man a drink of water or a crust of cold corn bread with a piece of fried fat or salt meat, was hers and which she did with childlike simplicity. The soldier soon found himself sufficiently recovered to try to make his escape out of the enemies country, which he did, and was lost to the cabin folks. As the years went by, one by one, the folks in the little cabin went their way in the new condition of freedom. Fourteen years later, when the roar of cannon and musketry had been hushed forever between the contending forces and the political and economical industrial and educational conditions, were rapidly working out the problems of the south, and both classes of her people, this stalwart citizen of the great state of Michigan, remembering the kindness of the folks in the little hut, when he was wounded and in the enemies camp, decided to visit the southland and inspect the old battle fields in whose memory he wore scars of honorable wounds, he formations that had almost de- stroyed every inviron except the big heavy granite boulders behind one which he had spent a night of suffering before being discovered by Hattie Griffin. The old hut was gone and its former location could hardly be identified and the people were all scattered about the settlement. Finally he located little Hattie, who had grown to womanhood, had married and had been blessed with two fine sons. The old soldier was generous and gave many useful things for the children and for Hattie who had helped more than all others when but ten years old, to nurse him back to health, but seeing the poverty of the colored people, who had nothing more than their clothes and some food to eat and desiring to be of further help to Hattie he arranged to take Addie, her oldest son out for a walk one evening and did not return home again. With this little boy, whose racial identity could not miscarry, he went on to the depot and got on the train and went to Montgomery Alabama, where he secured the service of a colored woman to go with him to care for this child, as far noth as South Bend, Ind. Here she was discharged and sent back home and he then took parental charge of the little fellow and proceeded on to Michigan, where he introduced his little charge to his own family and reared him beneath the family roof, amid the influence of the family circle, not as an alien but as a member of the household. He was sent to the city schools and later to Colum, bus, Ohio, to school and later still to Tuskegee Institute, where he learned the bricklaying trade. Addie G. lived a part of the time with Mr. Comer's sister at Denver, Colorado and it was while on a visit to this place, that young Addie won himself a bride. True to his color he made his selection from his own race. Now as a young man at the home of Mr. Comer, he was educated and taught to be industrious and to identify himself permanently with his Michigan home town. He was shown how to do this by buying property and through the means provided him by his adopted white father, he purchased several houses and lots and held the deeds therefore before he was 20 years of age, so that he now has an income of $25 per month from that property and when he decided to get married, his best earthly friend, although almost to old to make long trips across the continent could not be disuaded by his family from going to Denver to see his Addie married. He was present and with his boy, as he called him, and by constant went to Alabama and visited in the neighborhood of the Big Spring and saw the wonderful industrial and agricultural association with him, he found money to pay for and that he had built on a lot not so high-priced. The time come for this old soldier, father, benefactor, to return home and all the friends and family was at the depot to say good bye to him and Addie was there, to. He parted with Addie last and embracing him fondly, and admonishing him to ever be good, he drew from his pocket a long envelope and gave it to Addie, which, after the train had moved out of sight and the envelope opened, was found to contain a Warranty Deed for the valuable corner lot that Addie had wanted, before his marriage, as a home for his bride. Altogether, Addie has about $50 monthly income from property given him in Michigan and in Colorado by Mr. Comer, and every Christmas day he receives some substantial present from his adopted father, as a further token of remembrance and appreciation for the kindness shown him when a wounded soldier within the enemies lines. Here we have a picture of a beautiful Christ-like life in Mr. Comer and we judge by the name that he was Irish decent and was a friend to those who had been a friend to him at a time when a friend indeed was needed. Mr. Addie G. Griffin, is a resident of this city and is one of our best citizens. He is a quite unassuming character and enjoys a good reputation with all who know him. F. H. C.

GORDON McPHERSON Making a Tireless Fight Against Modern Evils—Sin For the past two weeks the Dreamland Rink has been the scene of a mighty religious awakening in the interest of civic decency and community betterment, which will culminate Sunday in a monster religious mass meeting of the United Colored church forces of Greater Los Angeles, to do battle against the so-called Negro club rooms and pool hals that are springing up unrestricted throughout the Colored residential districts of the city. Even at the very doors of our churches. It is high time that the self respecting Colored men and women, the churches, ministers' federations, Baptist Pastors' Union, the Forum, along with our Women's clubs and other civic and fraternal organizations should get together and call a halt in the promiscuous locating of the dens of infamy at our very doors for the destruction of Negro youths and the demoralization of the young and unsophisticated maids. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson has a message to the mothers and fathers of Greater Los Angeles that will prove a startling revelation of the damnable pitfalls that should be heard by every church man and women in the city that loves their home. In support of his startling revelations of existing evils, Detective W. W. Glenn, one of the ablest members of the city police force has been invited to give a heart to heart talk to the people and ministers. It is hoped that every self-respecting race man and woman, every preacher, business and professional man in Los Angeles and Pasadena and surrounding towns will pack the Dreamland rink tomorrow, Sunday afternoon, 2:30 o'clock.

The pastors sermons were filed with logic and spiritual inspiration, the crowd was large and many visit- ors present from out of town and other churches. next Sunday is planned to be another treat for those attending the services of the day in the morning the pastor will preach "The touch of Jesus" Mrs. Hughley will sing the obligato in the anthem "There is a fountian" in the evening the pastor's text will be "A bad name" the Misses Minnie and Carrie Aldritton will sing a duet. The Get acquainted society will give a program which every literary body will be repres Tabernacle Church Notes. Services were well attended by many friend and visitors, we were pleased with the return of two of our Sunday School teachers that have been out the city, Mrs. Bigger and Foirkles. The sunday school picnic will be Saturday July 10 the place has not been decided upon but will be known Sunday. The pastor filled pulpit in the morning his text was Phillipias 3 8, I consider but loss for the excellency of Christ Jesus my Lord. He bought to our mind that the knowledge of Jesus Christ was more than all the million and we could never know men and women until we know Christ. And we may have all the millions unless we have Christ we will not have peace, so you can love others besides our own people and when full of condemnation there is something about Jesus we do not know. Mrs. Tuley the missionary spoke in the evening of her many experiences in far away Africa then the Lord's supper was served to a large congregation. The pastor still conducts the bible class every evening from 7 to 8 o'clock. The sewing class conducted by Mrs. A. Reglu will give notice of their exhibition Sunday the B.Y.P.

Providence Institutional church will bring the two greatest preachers in the Negro race to Los Angeles in great Chautauqua in August. Dr. C. T. Walker, D.D. L. L. D., the black Spurgeon pastor of the Tabernacle Institutional Baptist church of Augusta, Ga., and one of the six greatest preachers in the world, regardless of color, and Dr. John E. Ford, A. M. D. D., pastor of Bethel Baptist Institutional church of Jackson- the Kingdom of God shall come.' Luke 22,18. The Doctor was at his best. We were benefited both spiritually and financially: the Lord's supper was celebrated; the New Hope choir rendered some very sweet singing at this service. Next Sunday June 13th will be a banner day at New Hope. There will be a grand rally among the members of our church as our pastor is going away on his vacation. We want to clear up all of our debts. Come and hear our pastor preach his last sermon before he takes his vacation Sunday morning. At 3 o'clock Rev. Dr. Ridules of the Friendship Baptist church of Pasadena will preach, hear him, and the New Hope choir will furnish music for this service. At the evening service Brother E. Payne will preach. All members and friends are cordially invited to be present. B. F. Aploon, church reporter. East 8th Street Christian Church News Rev. D. L. McMickens, Pastor All services were well attended on last Sunday. There were several visitors present among whom were Mr. Sherman Chisley, exsuperintendant of the Holiness unday School. In the morning the pastor preached an expository sermon from Rev. 2nd chapter:—A letter to the church at Smyrana. John was told to write the church at Ephesus and tell them if they did not repent and go back to their first love he would remove the candle-stick out of its place, which means the church, as most of us know Rev. 1:20. This first love does not mean faith, repentance, concession and baptism but we are old to add to our faith, patience, virtue, knowledge, temperance and brotherly kindness. Our work has only begun when we are baptized. Most people think that is all that is necessary but we cannot stop here if we are to obtain the promise given us by God. We must start right, live right and we will surely end right. The promise is to him that overcometh. It takes a fight to overcome. The promise to him that overcometh is that God will give him to eat of the three of life that stands in the midst of Paradise. We must be faithful unto the end if we are to obtain the crown of life which has been promised to us. We must be fair and square with God even though we live in poverty in this world. The children's exercise was quite a success. The program was quite lengthy and the children did fine, assisted by sisters Lees and Lynch, Mr Chisley gave a spendid talk to the children and Mrs. Moore favored them with a sweet solo.

Since the year 1729 Negroes were kidnapped from Africa and put on board slave ships and sold to men in the south for slaves. The laws of the Southern States upheld slave holding and the slaves were subject to ill-treatment, cruelty, immorality and even murder. The cause of the War of the Rebellion was the forming of what was called Mason and Dixon's line, which separated the Southern slave holding states from the Northern States; as the people of the North objected to the extension of the disgraceful and unchristianlike slave traffic any farther North, the Southerners then seceded from the Union, making their own laws and electing Jefferson Davis as their President of the Confederate States. This, of course, was rebellion, hence the war. Abraham Lincoln was President of the Union States and not wishing to have war, as the South being on their own grounds and receiving assistance from England, the proposition was a hard one, so Mr. Lincoln desiring peace if possible sent an ultimatum to Jefferson Davis stating that if he would lay down his arms in thirty days that he would not interfere with their slaves, but if he would not, that he would sign an emancipation proclamation that would set all the slaves free. Mr. Davis replied that he would not, but would declare war. So Mr. Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring all slaves free. The Union Army was repulsed at Fort Pillow and Fort Sumpter, and after arming the Freed men, giving them to understand that they were to fight for their freedom and the Union, General Butler said such fearless bravery never was seen on any battle field. Gen. Lee was forced to surrender to Gen. Grant. You can imagine the intense hatred of the South against the North which in many cases exists to this day. After the South was defeated and they had to surrender their slaves the many millions who had faithfully served them for generations without pay were now set free without a dollar and many badly clothed, which was their only worldly possessions; ignorant and without education, where the law in those days was imprisonment for any one to learn a Negro to read or write; turned loose upon a world full of prejudice and no hope for their future, except faith in God, and perseverance, hope and patience. This was their salvation. See their progress in fifty years, since they were sent adrift to battle with an unsympathetic world for their existence. Their progress was so successful and rapid that their poor white neighbors envied them and tried to cause strife between them and the better class of the whites who employed them, as they would not employ the poor whites. So they tried to intimidate them by posting skull and cross bone signs in public places for them to leave, thus trying to drive them from their homes, but the ex-soldier who knew no fear resented this wrong and stood their ground. The poor whites then organized what they called the "White Caps," then the cowardly "Night riders." Still feeling afraid of the freed men, they consolidated into a murderer band of masked brutes called "Ku Klux," guilty of murder, arson, robbery and rape. Some would disguise by blacking his face, commit a crime against some lone woman, then accuse the victim they wanted to get rid of by lynching him. There is always doubt of guilt where conviction is demanded by a mob. A mob of human beings is the most unreasoning and blood-thirsty assemblage that can exist. Each member of it is transformed into a fiend, with the animal desire for blood intensified by all the faculties which degenerate man into what we call lower animals. The N. Y. Times table shows a larger number of unqualified males among caucasians. From representative Towner—2,273,603 illiterate males of 21 years and over, in the United States, enough to determine any national election at any period in our history. A large proportion of them must be colored in the South who are barred from the polls and hence cannot determine any National election. The progress of the Negro is wonderful. Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma—these six states have a Negro population of 2,000,000. These Negroes have under their control as owners or renters about $300,000,00 worth of farm property. Live stock, farming implements, etc., owned by Negroes in these states is about $200,000,000. Mr. James C. Thomas, born in Texas, 1864, Undertaker, member of the New York Undertakers' Association, worth $65,000.00. W. L. Taylor, President of the True Reformers, states that their bank holds deposits $350,000 money belonging to Negroes, the capital stock of $100,000 has all been paid up and there is over 11,000 depositors. Richmond, Va., Hotel Cafe, Nail Bros. New York on Sixth av., bought for $50,000 in 1887, present value $75,000. Isaiah T. Montgomery, born a slave on the plantation of Jos. Davis, brother of Jefferson Davis. May 21st, 1847, founded a City, 1890 called Mound Bayou in Mississippi, became Mayor of the town, which covers 40 square miles, population about five thousand, his store doing an annual business of about $5,000. There is about 30,000 acres between Memphis and Vicksburg owned by about 2,000 colored people. They have their own banks, postoffice, High and Normal institutes, newspaper, groceries, dry goods stores, altogether 2 mercantile houses, such as markets, harness shops, repair shops, photograph galleries, etc. Their annual money order receipts amount to over $40,000 annually. There are today 22,540 Negroes in the employ of the United States who draw a total of $12,456,756 a year. Of these Negroes, 4,426 are in the army, 1,529 are in the Navy, and 2,140 are in various navy yards, and stations. Of the rest 6,347 with an annual payroll of $4,099,116 are employed in Washington and the remainder work in Government buildings throughout the United States. 27 Negroes are employed at the White House, 926 in the Treasury department, 87 in the Postoffice department, 41 in the Interstate Commerce Commission, 2413 in the District of Columbia-local government. There are 635 Negroes employed by the Government-in New York, 670 in Chicago 195 in St. Louis and about 14,130 in miscellaneous towns. Of the great men and women of the Negro Race, that have won world wide distinction are the Hon. Frederick Douglas, the statesman and orator and exslave; Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the poet; Henry O. Tanner, the great artist; Alexandre Dumas, the famous novelist; Edmonia Lewis, the celebrated sculptress; Crispus Attucks, whose blood was first spilled for his country; the great immortal black French General Toussaint L'Overture, who fought Napoleon, was kidnapped and exiled in a dungeon after his victory. Most of the above are dead, but their footprints left in the sands of time are fresh and honored, while there are many of the same class, living in our midst. —From the Scrap Book, compiled by J. D.
