After Forty Years in Ministry; Greater Part Spent In After Fort PIONEER BAPTIST PREACHER PASSES TO THE BEYOND C. A. Spears-Bass Late Thursday evening when the golden rays of a California sun dipped into the steel gray of the Pacific Ocean shedding a dimness over the horizon and telling pedestrians that day was slowly ebbing into night, Rev. Chester H. Anderson gently laid aside his mantle of humanity and joined that innumerable parade that was making its final march up the shining way. Rev. Chester H. Anderson was born at Barertia, La., Oct. 1st, 1855, was converted to the Christian religion when he was but a boy and immediately announced that he had been called to the ministry, and like the true apostle immediately forsook everything and without any special prepara- THE NEW YORK TIMES [Portrait of a man in formal attire, wearing a suit and bow tie]. THE LATE REV. C. H ANDERSON Who Departed This Thursday December 9th tion went forth like "John the Baptist," crying in the wilderness, and pointing men to Jesus the Christ. He first preached at Grifney, La., where in a short revival service he had one hundred and fifty converts. In order that he might complete his effort the church authorities called a special meeting pastorate of the Second Baptist at which he was orderly ordained; baptized his converts adding them to the church roll, and remained at Grifney as pastor for four years constantly adding to the membership and Christian zest of the church. From Grifney Rev. Anderson removed to Austin, Tex., where he assumed the pastorate of the Third Baptist church and where he put forth similar efforts, and had similar results. About 1878 Rev. Anderson left Texas and came to California for ```markdown ``` Volume 28 Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., Dec. 11, 1915 at that time California was practically a new field, and along with the newcomers from every section there was a great need of spiritual advice, and proper guidance along all lines for those who came. Almost immediately Rev. Anderson's service was secured for the place for the erection of a tabernacle for Christ. Those who labored with him caught the spirit of his zeal and courage and they worked on hand in hand and heart and heart as one, until the little brick monument, now stained with age was completed. Like the stately Pilgrims of Plymouth only a few of the younger set of that time remain to tell the story, and to pay final tribute to the memory, of one who was tireless in his effort to do good. In 1908 Rev. Anderson came out of the Second Baptist church, organized, founded and erected [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a white shirt]. --- the New Hope Baptist church at 1623 Paloma avenue, which is today among the most prosperous church which at that time consisted of a small body of Christion workers, who worshipped in a little shanty made of cracker boxes. This, then young war horse was neither discouraged or dismayed by appearance but rolled up his sleeves, declaring it a fit and aggressive Baptist churches of this city and state, with a membership of more than eight hundred of which he was honored pastor until his death. Aside from his activity in the church, Rev. Anderson was a clean cut business man. It was perhaps his unselfish attitude towards men and women whom he sought from time to time and by word and deed encouraged them in whatever business effort they were engaged in. The remains of Rev. Anderson will be in state at the New Hope Baptist church from 10 a.m. Monday until 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. ```markdown ``` 20TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED The home of Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Hebut, 1407 E. 52nd St., was a scene of a brilliant affair on last Tuesday evening, Nov. 30th, in honor of her brother, Arthur A. Mitchell's, 20th birthday. There were 50 of his young friends invited. Miss Pearl Jones acted as hostess; the decorations were red and green; the birthday cake was very large and beautifully decorated with red and green with 20 candles held in rose buds. Those present were Miss Florence Williams, Homersille Wilson, Edith and Juanaita Johnson, Ella Little, Ruth Walker, Jay Washington, Hazel Blenten, Pearl and Sophia Jones, Lela Streets, Lola Hicks, La Verne True, Antoinette Gladen, Charlotte Hubert, Mr. Johnie King, Joseph Blue, Walter Hawkins, Willie Eastern, Leander Ramey, Huel N, Brooks. Charlie Black, Ernest Parks, Mack Flyn, Amiel Raby, Roberts Rivers, Benjamin rBown, Harold Lee, Harold Ogletree, Willie tSreets, Hobert Miller, Roy G McClellan, Eddie Williams, Mr. Domars. The older folks were Mrs. C. Bryant, Mrs. Arthur Williams, Mrs. Emily Felden, Mrs. W. Washington. He received many useful, pretty presents. Refreshments were served after which games were played and delightful music was furnished. At midnight the younger set departed expressing themselves as having spent the most enjoyable evening of the year. THE RECKONING DAY This week seems to have marked the reckoning day for the social clubs of the city. It is not generally known how long forces have been at work making investigation as to the operating status of these clubs. For the benefit of those who have not read the dailies carefully we wolud say that this investigation was not directed alone toward colored people, but all classes and races engaged in that kind of business. Up to date the clubs that fell under the scrutiny of this investigation, are the Fred Douglass Republican Club and the Alhambra Club, both colored. The rooms where the police commission usually meets proved too small to accommodate the people who desired to hear the proceeding. And for the hearing in the Alhambra case the commission adjourned to the council chamber. The ministers' Federation was represented by Dr. E. W. Kinchen, D. L. McMickens, H. E. Washington, Rev. Pettigrew and others. The clubs at these hearings had counsel but there was, it seemed, no redemption for them. They had to go. There are others no wunder investigation it is said by the wise ones, that it has been decreed by the commission that they too must go. BOONE CASE DISMISSED Harmon H. Boone whom the British government has been trying to extradite to Canada for some alleged real estate deal in Norfok, Va., of property in Canada, came up for a hearing before the U. S. Commissioner on last Tuesday. Boone was promptly released. There should be some manner of redress for a person who is took up and subjected to the humiliation and embarrassment as this man, and when a case is heard there is absolutely no ground for holding him. We are however, glad to know that Mr. Boone established to the satisfaction of the commissioner his innocence. THE B. Y. P. U. FEDERATION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN ITS MONTHLY MEETING, ADOPTS THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTIONS IN MEMORIAL TO DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Los Angeles, Calif., Nov. 21, 1915 Whereas, in the course of human events, it has pleased the Almighty God to call from labor to reward, one of the greatest lights that has ever shown in the haven of intellect, in the person of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the Negro Race's greatest leader, and who was recognized by Princes, Presidents, Kings and Queens as one of the greatest beacon lights signaled by human nobility, we thus deem it altogether fitting and proper to resolutely express our sentiment of the sad bereavement in the loss of one of the world's greatest noblemen. This great leader was born in obscurity, void of the training of a faithful father—only the God of the universe to direct his course; yet, no man has ever lived, and dying, left such famous foot-prints on the sand of time, than this gerat character who has just passed into the Great Beyond. As a scholar, and an educator, he had no superior; yet, our loss is heaven's gain, and we bow to the inevitable will of the Omnipotent. And, whereas it has pleased Him to end the earthly toils of this great leader of our race and philanthropist of the world, be it resolved, that the B. Y. P. U. Federation of Southern California, now in session in this our monthly meeting, bow our heads in prayer for five minutes in behalf of the bereaved family and the race at large, and in recognition of the will of God and in tribute and respect to the great leader, knowing whatsoever God doeth is for the good of man. Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be filed on record of the Federation, and a copy be sent to the various newspapers of the city, also a copy forwarded to the bereaved family. Respectfully submitted, REV. W. M. J. CONQUEST, Chairman PROF. C. A. BIGGERS, MRS. COMELIA A. LACY, Committee. Little Lillian Goodwin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Goodwin of Cresas Avenue has returned from New Orleans where she has been in school and now a student at the 9th street school. Who Killed Cock Robin The Statement that Ten White Saloons is Preferable to a Colored Club by Leading Minister before the Police Commission Stirs Resentment Biff! Biff! Bang! down went the lid. The past week has been an epoch making one in the annals of the Police Commission of Los Angeles, which thus far has resulted in the rovocation of two Colored social clubs license. The first of these social clubs to be hauled upon the carpet was the Fred Douglass Republican Club, located at 561 Central Avenue, and had to bite the dust; it was shown on investigation that the club gave employment to about seventeen of our race all told; two of whom drew a salary of $75.00 per month and one of who drew$60. The other employees received sums ranging from $7.00 to $15.00 per week. Wednesday afternoon The Alhambra Social Club at eight and Central entered the arena, in the Council Chamber before a packed house and went down for the count. This club gave employment to fifteen persons at wages of from $7.00 per week to $75 per month, all of these people are now out of employment, to say nothing of the large sum invested in furniture fixtures, etc., which is wholly lost without an hours grace. In view of the prominence of the clubs coupled with the fact out of the four hundred white places where liquor is dispensed only three or four give employment to Colored people. The action of the Commission in summerary closing the above clubs in so drastic a way has not only created no little stir among the colored residents but the white people who realize that in a city with more than 600,000 population there is not a single Colored salon where those who are disposed may go and partake of a stimulant. Dame Rumer has it the two remaining clubs, The Pullman, are slated to go. If these clubs should meet the same fate as was meted out to the Fred Douglass and the Alhambra, then with one wave of the hand about sixty Negroes will be thrown out of employment and the opportunity of the Colored to spend their money for intoxicants among themselves in the Angel City and thus afford a living to some of their own race will be entirely wiped out. This is a vital question. Shall Negroes help kill the goose which laid the golden egg? One prominent Divine, an erstwhile crusader who led the fight ...?., said: I had rather see ten new saloons than one Negro club. Fair minded men and women should ponder well this statement not withstanding the fact the saloons are run by white men, and that the Commission will not grant a license for a Negro saloon, and that the white saloon men employ Japanese labor rather than Colored. Much color is given the Social club fight by the rumor that R. C. Qwens, who has been prominent at the hearings, whose license at the Waldorf was revoked by former Mayor Alexander for misconduct, the wise one say desires a social club license for the Waldorf Hotel of which he is the owner, and in this connection is a well founded rumor that he has the promiser support of a minister and also a colored attorney who lately declared war on "these damnable social clubs." It is rumored that the 60 or more negroes employed in the various clubs have been receiving about $50,000 per year in wages. Why help kill thi old goose and turn this money into the coffees of the white man? Stop and let us consider these facts. Here are 60 people at $15.00 per week were draw in total sum of $900 per week and since there's 52 weeks in the year the financial benefit to Negroes employed in the seevral Negro clubs where liquors were served as beverage was about $50,000 per year. Mister and Mistress Colored Citizen, ponder well this fact; and ask yourselves seriously what is behind the activity in certain quarters. Speculation is rife as to how the attack has been made on the Negro clubs after there had been a general reorganization and clean up with the objectional features eliminated and the most refined elements of the Race could visit one of them without fear of having their sensibilities shocked can be justified on the theory that "ten white saloons are more preferred?" Perhaps the minister made this wild statement that was quoted in one of the big dailies has an idea which will replace this $50,000 race employees lose. The Lord will feed these people no doubt. But why scatter the thousands of men and women who delight to spend a social hour throughout the residential sections of the city which will mean the opening of numerous speak easys, buffet flats and blind pigs with all of the attending evils the consorting of lewd men and women for immoral purposes and the sale of liquor in an illicit manner, as the representative of the national Negro news services. We have during the past few months not only visited 365—Gal 2—Eagle the various clubs on secret tours of investigation but have had under investigation many of the leaders of this spasmodic crusade and the public may wait for there is more a coming. Jack Johnson as an ex-champion seems to have the ups on Jess Willard, the Fungo Champ. Wherever Jack goes in London thousands swarm around him. Here in Los Angeles it is not generally known that Willard is in town. This is because the people do not regard him as the real goods. They regard his championship with suspicion, especially since he was so quick to draw the color line. He knows it is not the color, it is the gait of the Black phalanx that he cannot stand. He has the color line for a shield only. All the young people are invited to attend the Young People's Mass Meeting at Wesley Chapel, corner 8th and San Julian at 8 o'clock; Sunday, December 12. J. H. Pendergraph and wife spent Saturday in Los Angeles doing Christmas shopping. If Henry Ford, the great automobile man, is as successful as the other peacemakers have been in stopping the war, it will be all over by Christmas—we mean all over Europe. Congress opened last Monday in full blast by re-electing Champ Clark speaker. He got 221 votes and the Republican received 194, the Progressives voting with the Republicans. How does the name of Congressman Robert W. M. Donald sound? And how would you like to hear the name ex-President Wilson and the name President Roosevelt? What do you know about that! Denver will be dry in about 21 days—so says the Supreme court. We hope the next will be California. San Francisco can't always keep us in bad. The Missionary Society of Friendship church will meet Friday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Mary Barber, 807 S. Grand avenue at 3 o'clock P.M. J. A. Treat and wife of this city were guests to dinner Sunday in Los Angeles of Miss Annie Champon. Among the invited guests were Mr. and Mrs. Bronson and Charley Bronson. It wae given in honor of Rev. F. G. Snelson of Chicago, who came here recently to be present at the burial of his mother, Mrs. James Bronson. Don't forget that the Bible class meets every Thursday evening at the residence of Mrs. S. Wilson, 517. S. Raymond avenue. If you fail to get the Eagle call Colorado 602 and tell the agent, about it and he will see that you do get it. Attorney W. O. Tylor spoke at the A.M.E. echurch Tuesday evening. Saturday, January 1st, will be a great day at the Metropolitan Baptist church. The program committee on the emancipation celebration will meet Sunday afternoon, comprised of Wm. Prince, J. T. Long, Capt. Wm. Reynold and S. B. Carr. Committee on Decoration—S. B. Carr, T. C. Walker and G. R. Harris. Committee on Finance—L. G. Robinson, A. H. Evans, W. Y. Ranson Charles Prince. Committee on Publicity—S. B. Carr, Harold Prince, W. Matt Solomon. This will be our 53rd anniversary of our emancipation. The emancipation celebration will be held at the Metropolitan Baptist church, 140 Waverly Drive, on Saturday evening, Jan. 1, 1916, Wm Prince was elected chairman. S. Carr, who will retire on January 1, has served 20 years and has a program of all the celebrations since 1896. The first one held in Pasadena, Rev. O. Sommers of Oakland delivered the first address. He was at that time district superintendent of the A.M.E. church, but since then he has joined the silent host. Rev. L. G. Robinson and A. H. Evens are on the sick list. James Williama, who died a few months ago, was for many years a janitor in this city, but after becoming ill was removed to Los Angeles to the home of William H. Cummings, where he died, but before passing he made a will leaving his property to his church His old mother, who is said to be 80 years of age and now living at Sanseca, M. C., is contesting the will. The case was tried before Judge McCormick. C. B. Brownlee of this city handled the suit. A. Roberts, his step-mother. His father died in 1913, leaving property valued at $12,000. He was the only heir and was the son of Mr. Robert's first wife. Mrs Roberts was represented by five of the best known attorneys in the city and three of them ex-judges. Mr. Roberts was represented by only one attorney, Hugh E. MacBeth of Los Angeles, but he won the suit. THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION Washington, D. C.—Hon. Charles D. Hilles, Chairman of the Republican National Executive Committee, announces that many candidates for the Republican nomination for President next year are entering the field for the pre-convention contest. Among those mentioned are Former Senator Elihu. Root of New York; Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa; Senator William E. Borah of Idaho; Former Vice President Chas. W. Fairbanks of Indiana; Former Senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio; Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts; Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan; Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas; Senator L. Y. Sherman of Illinois; Former Governor Myron T. Herrick of Ohio; Governor Charles S. Whitman of New York; and H. D. Estabrook, a prominent and eloquent lawyer of New York City, who delivered the principal address at the annual meeting of the Advertising Clubs of America held in Chicago last June. From now on it will be interesting to note how prominent Colored men of national reputation "line up." It is said that Hon. Charles W. Anderson, who has just been appointed Supervisory Agent of the State Agricultural Department, and Hon. Fred R. Moore, of The New York Age, appointed Minister to Liberia by President Taft, will support Governor Whitman; Former Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis of Boston, will support Senator Wicks; Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor of the Navy Department, under Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, will support Senator Burton, while George A. Myers and Editor H. C. Smith have not yet decided whom they will support. As a rule, however, it is expected that the leading Colored men in the various states will follow their "favorite sons." The Southern leaders are against any candidate with "illy-white" leanings, and are already at work "sounding" their candidates. The Married Ladies' Art Guild met at the home of Mrs. McMickens of Paseadena Monday afternoon, Dec. 16, 1915. Being program day, there were many good topics of much interest and enjoyed by those present. Mrs. E. Baldwin, chairman of the Exchange of the southern division, and Mrs. Edgar Easton were visitors. Roth ladies were much impressed with the wonderful works the guild is taking up, and best wishes for a properous future were extended. Mrs. C. Hicks gave a short talk on etiquet, which was much appreciated. Mrs. C. Hulbert and Mrs. F. McMickens sung a duet. Mrs. Ingram read a very interesting paper on the birth of Longfellow, after which it was discussed. As Evangeline is being taken up, the fifth chapter was read, and our literarv chairman, Mrs. C. Hulbert, led discussion. She is known throughout the city for her brilliancy. The ladies partook of a delightful repast served by the hostess, after which the Guild adjourned, to meet at the home of Mrs. I. Robinson, Dec. 20, 1915. East Eighth St. Christian Church The services at the Christian church last Sunday were very inspiring. The pastor preached in morning from Isiah, 2:24. Subject, "The Mountain of the Lord's House." At 7:40 the pastor delivered an address to the Y.P.C.S.E. that was very helpful indeed. Subject, "Man's Duty to Man and to God." Next Sunday he will deliver another address to the young people on the subject, "Flirting." At S o'clock Rev. D. L. McMickens delivered a powerful sermont on the "Choice of Moses." Nex Sunday the pastor will preach both morning and evening. Morn- A great treat in store for every man, woman and chil at the East 8th Street Christian Church By request the Pastor, Rev. D. L. McMickens will deliver a series of addresses on "Morals Science" to the Y. P. S. C. E. Every Sunday at 7:45 p. m. 15 The following clipping from the Daily Press oi Santa Barbara will convey the intelligence that the people of that city are alive and awake to the call of the times, DO SOMETHING, and are raising a building fund to erect a new A.M.E. church. Rev. Duncan is thoroughly progressive, and no doubt with him as a leader their efforts will be crowned with success. A new church building for the A.M.E. congregation is the ambition of Rev. J. A. Duncan and his people. Last evening the pastor and his flock took the matter up in earnest by starting a building fund. Enthusiasm riched a high pitch, and $285 was subscribed within a few minutes. The present building at Haley and Canal streets is regarded by the congregation as an eyesore. It has outlived its usefulness and the people of the church, rejoicing in the new life which has been instilled throughout all departments, proposes to have a church building that will be an ornament to that section. Friends of the church joined with pastor and congregation to start the building fund, and it is expected the fund will be generously supported by the people of the city. Following is a list of subscriptions: Rev. J. A. Duncan, $25; J. K. Payne, $25; J. Merritt, $10; Mrs. S. M. Tyrrell, $10; Mrs. B. Alexander, $10; Albert Graves, $50; Geo. Kays, $25; B. Conway, $25; L. C. Smith, $25; Mr. Hopkins, 10; Mrs. A. Marchbank, $5; Mrs. Washington, $5; Miss A. F. Williams, $10; Mr. Buckner, $5; Mrs. Pullin, $15; Miss Taylor, $5; Mrs. Taylor, $5; Mrs. merritt, $10; Miss Cule, $5; Mrs. A. L. Duncan, $10. Anyone desiring to help us will notify Rev. J. A. Duncan, 435 E. Haley street. No real big man will do small things, he cannot afford to be small. Any real good republican will bring home the bacon for the people in November 1916. Our Get-together propaganda is moving on. It is sweeping away the debris, the little cheap and selfish man has no place in its ranks. Its slogan is "OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, and FOR THE PEOPLE." The initial communion services or this church was held Sunday. Both services were indeed uplifting and beneficial to every one who attended. The deaconesses deserves much praise for the excellent preparations which they made for the services. Mesdames Shackleford, Hinddelston, Prentice, Poole and walla donated to the church, a beautiful latest style, self collecting communion set, which was highly appreciated. Revs. Majors and N. Price and the deacons very ably assisted the pastor in administering the communion. The pastor eloquently spoke on the subjects "Jesus, a man of sorrows" and "The hour has come." Seven were united with the church. Emanuel Hall, the great gospel singer, rendered selections at both services, that aroused the spirit and touched the hearts of all present. As a result of the zealous work of Mrs. B. E. Prentice, the famous Hall Jubilee Singers will present a special concert for the benefit of the church on New Year's day at the Gamut Club auditorium. Further details will be advertised in this paper. Prominent Fraternal Man In City to Lecture Capt. W. T. M.

The Eldorado Gold star “in- ing company is one of the best éxamples to which we can point to within the race. They got to- gether and reposed confidence in their leader and as Moses ofrold it seems that he has parted the waters to safely guide his chil- dren to the haven of success in the industrial world. SELFISHNESS If any man or woman of com- mon sense would for a moment reflect just how small that selfish- ness makes them appear in the eyes of the people who know them, they would forever refrain from “this pernicious habit. Gn a program rendered at 2 local church a few days ago we hoticed a write-up by one of the participants in their own vehicle for exploitation, in which they, although playing a minor, part mentioned their own name a hal! dozen times or three or four times more than they mentioned the name of any other participant. To our mind this is a pure case of Ego, and when people count themselves great and think that the people ought to think so too, they should not be surprised to wake up and find that the people have by the person’s own action formed.an opinion of them akin to that of the protoplasm in the salty sea.

H. DUDLEY ‘The editor of the Eagle on last Friday in a conference with May- or Dudley, his manager, Mr. Paul Shenk? told these gentlemen that the reports and tactics ‘which had been used whether true. or un- true, against the mayor was hav- ing its effect and urged upon them the fiecessity of quickly acting by getting out their denial of the things which were being circulated to prejudice the color- ed voters against Dudley. They seeméd to think the game not worth while’ and now they are sadder but perhaps wiser men. If you want the support of the col- ored citizens, you must \show them that you appreciate their support by actually presenting your case to them just the same as to any other citizen. We actually believe and in fact know (for we made the in- vestigation at the time) that Mayor Dudley was blameless in that black rope proposition. But the tale was put out, Dudley nor his manager did not seem te think enough of that vote to gc after controverting the same and there you are—He was beat—bj that very vote. THE PASSING ‘OF REV. C. H. ANDERSON In the death of Rev. C. H. An- derson the people lose one of the pioneers in the cause of Christian- ity, one of the pillars in this sec- tion of the great Baptist denom- ination. We have known him as a man who at all times was on the firing line not only for the propa- gation of the Christian religion, but for the progress of the race, and the community in which he lived as well... He was one of the foremost forces too in-his humble way to pfomote business enter- prises among our people, he was one of the leading spirits’in the Eldorado Gold Star Mining Com- pany “and just as this company was on the eve of_a mighty tri- umph he passed out. Any legiti- mate’Race enterprise had his sup- port at all time. He was a strong supporter of this publication and we feel in hi§ loss a personal one. In his passing the Race in this section loses a strong advocaté, the church one of its strongest pillars. His monument is the Baptist church ef Southern Cali- fornia, his eulogy’ its countless members. 1 The EAGLE is the people’s for- um.

A Davidson is to be open during the year 1916. The 1916 exposition will be open January 1 the day following the 1615 fair. This will be a continuity of operation and for the first time in history a two year exposition will be the result. Foreign exhibits valued at several million dollars from the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco, just closed will be brought here. Two of the largest exhibits at the northern exposition, the Canadian and Italian have been secured for next year, and we anticipate that the French exhibit will also be installed and hope to obtain the Philippine exhibit and the Philippine legislature has been asked for an appropriation to cover the expense. There is no doubt in the theory about Pantages being contagious, when it comes to bookfing acts, Manager Palmer has nothing but the best. The audience was spell bound on the aat of Hairdeen, the handcuff king, but had he not been there, any act would have been a headliner. So get in the bright light each for Pantages. Don't forget the grand Masquerade Ball at Kastle hall Monday night, December 13. Prizes will be awarded to the masked persons. The third annual exchange meeting of the Women's Federation will hold a bazaar at the new Masonie hall December 16-17. Admission free.

Mr. Tait, who has been on the sick list for several weeks, is reported doing nicely at his home. The Brown Cafe on 1st street seems to be an anti-room for the Masonic brother. Mr. Brown is a member of the organization and his dainty way of treating the stom ach binds them closer each day. Mrs. DeBose of Los Angeles, sister of Mrs. Shannon, who is a dashing old maid motored down last Thursday, as she is reported wealthy it will account for many of the old bachelors coming out of a coma Siege guns were set for the Eagle reporter for not keeping in touch with the ignous of the beauty contest of the smat set in which Miss Ophelia Ellis of Coronado, Miss Anna Hobbs of La Jolla, formerly of Goldfield; Miss Corona White, student of the state normal and Mrs. Floyd White of Loma Portal- (as they all seem to be beauties) Mrs. Anderson was called upon to settle the question but declined the honor in favor of a passing stranger, his decision was in favor of Miss Ophelia Ellis, as she is taking mvdels in beauty and answering the many applications of matrimony. Mrs. Smith, 744 3rd st., can be seen any afternoon making fancy paintings, those who are looking for Xmas presents should give her a call. Mrs. Lloyd White of Loma Portal spent Saturday in the city as guest of her sister-in-law Miss Edith White. Miss Nona Jackson, society reporter of the Eagle, has been on the sick list for a few days with an ulcerated tooth, but Mr. Dennis has relieved her of an abundance of misery. Cu pid is still inquiring here, when love steps in friendship ceases; so says the sweet message over the wire, the other day, from La Jolla to San Diego as love was the highest ambition of the trio.

We have a sway back hunch that young folks in their teens, a lovey dovey bunch, fill up most magazines. We believe that God is at many places on Sunday as well as at the churches. It is quite possible that he visits the parks and attends the ball games, frequents the beach and woods, is out in the country where the birds and flower are, overlooking no place, in fact, unless it may be Tia'Juana. Marrying in haste and repenting at leasure is a very foolish saying; makes no difference whether you marry in haste or not there is no such thing as leisure afterwards. Morgan could not take the earth with him, so he left it to Rockefeller. Miss Alice Brown and W.S.Brown of Los Angeles danced at the Cantos pavilion in the exposition grounds Saturday night. Mrs. B. C. Reese was seen by the Eagle reporter at her new place on Chula Vista line near National city she was enjoying herself in a big arm chair, watching the construction of a handsome two-story build which they expect to occupy before the holidays are over. You can't duck the Eagle, there is not any use of trying. So why not let us take your subscription. If you read of a gratitude in this paper be grateful. Truth crushed to earth sometimes takes the count. We are all willing to let Jones pay the freight. I will do my parr said a friend. W. A. Williams of Los Angeles motored down Tuesday and spared neither pains or money in investigating San Diego and Tia Juana, being no stranger in the city his vacation was the time of his life before leaving he bought everything in sight and subscribed for the Eagle. Mr. and Mrs. Harris of India st. entertained a party of friends at dinner Sunday. Mr. Wing and sister arrived Saturday from Georgia.

Guess who is who at the social and get a prize. Mrs. Haninahs, who at first seemed to have been in the race, alone, has come to the conclusion that there never was any one man band, but she says she should worry when she makes her final report, and that all will have to sit up and take notice. But Rev. Harvey is anticipating placing a candidate in the field for the benefit of Bethel A.M.E. church, so as there are grave doubts as to whom will win. They will have a big banquet when its over, as this contest is just to put San Diégo news second to none and the Eagle the leading colored paper of California, as well as one of the leading race papers of the United States. G. A. Ramsey has pledged his support to his sister-in-law, Mrs. Al. Ramsey, nee Shannon. Mrs. Al. Ramsey, who has been somewhat under the weather, is now looking the picture of health. Her aunts of Los Angeles and also of La Jola, and her sister, Mrs. Jack Oliver of Los Angeles, have also pledged their support. Mrs. Ethel Stansel, who is now turning in more subscriptions than all the trios, has nothing but smiles when she calls at the office. She has many friends to back her in the race. her sisters and visited Tia Juana, where they enjoyed the sport of the little town. Rev. Nelson has been confined his home for several days is now out and looking the picture of healeh. He intercepted the Eagle reporter a few night ago at Moore's barber shop, as he became confused at a stove within and a stove without, the reporter thought it a pure case of spooks and that it was time for him to go right then. On investigation proved to be a stove of the same make sitting in G. W. Gray's wagon outside. Oh, well the Eagle has wings why should we worry.

IN SAN DIEGO San Diego ed ward No. 1 The concert and debate given by the male members and friends of the church was unusually interesting, instructive and entertaining. Complimentary remarks were made by the audience, who seemed to have enjoyed every minute of the entertainment. This was the first public entertainment given in the colored Masonic hall. The affair was liberally patronized by our people, notwithstanding admission was free at the Exposition that evening. We note with pride the increasing appreciation on the part of our people in patronizing the various entcrtainments which have been given in the past few months. The net proceeds from the concert and debate was $35.20, which was applied on the indebtedness of the church. The pastors and officers feel very much indebted to the public for the support given Sisters Freeman and Benton, who were the promoters of this enjoyable and profitable affair. The union memorial held at Bethel A.M.E. church last Sunday evening in honor of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington was largely attended. The efforts on the part of those who were participants on the program show the high esteem and respect in which the great negro leader was held by the citizens of both races of our city. Among the many attributes mentioned in the life of Booker Washington we were deeply impressed with the remarks made by ex-Secretary of State Lyman J. Gage. Mr. Gage spoke of his acquaintanceship with Dr. Washington when he (Mr. Gage) was serving in the capacity of Secretary of State at Washington. It was there he had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Washington, who was seeking an interview with the President with the hope of having him to pay a visit to Tuskegee. It was largely through the efforts of Mr. Gage that Mr. Washington was granted an interview with the President. In the course of his remarks Mr. Gage advised, if we would rise above the haughty prejudices and boasted superiority of the white race, who should emulate the life of Dr. Washington, carry on to perfection the great work so nobly prosecuted by our eminent teacher. The pastor reported at the official board meeting last evening, while making his pastoral calls, that he had visited quite a number of the members, especially those who were ill. He stated that Sister Mary McManing, who had been very ill, was very much improved. The time is fast approaching when our Mock conference will convene; the holidays also are nigh, a season in the year when we are inclined to let Santa Claus have undistributed control of our purses, nevertheless it is, hoped that the interest of our church is so firmly impressed upon our hearts that we will remember the welfare of our church. Of course this can only be accomplished in proportion as we show a disposition to deny ourselves some of the things we would like to have. KIDDIES TO.BE MADE HAPPY. Eagle To Look After Poor. The California Eagle, largest colored paper in the West, will start a relief fund for the purpose of giving the poor children of San Diego a happy Xmas. Mr. Gordon, M. T. Laws and Geo. A. Ramsey are the committee in charge. Mr. Laws has had more dealing with his people than any other man in San Diego and knows their wants. "We are going to make a lot of parents happy Xmas morning," said Mr. Gordon. "We are investigating all cases, the same as we did last year. We want to care for our people. We are asking those who believe in this worthy cause to contribute to the relief fund. We are in need of clothes, provisions and fuel."

Washington, and that one from Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, of Oyster Bay, ‘November 14th, while none, as,14 have noticed from President Wilson of any of, the prominent Southern white men’ Dr. Washington’s’ ; whole ‘life-work was for the benefit of the south, and in bringing harmony among the Whites and Biacks of thesouth. When he was ‘stricken with {lines in New York jhis ‘most anxious desire, he said, was toigo immediately to the south, to his home he loved so well. And should he die, his desire was to die in his southern home. : It is a remarkable fact that the bet- ter class of the white south placed a tremendous responsibility on the should- ‘ers of this man; in a time of extraor- dinary emergencies patting him on his back and telling him to pacify. and en- courage,the Negroes to renfain in the. south—their birth place. That it was the best place for them to stick to |the soil; get homes; be honest and. indus- trious and improve their. property by kebping it neat and clean, and cultivate the good opinion of the whites instead of continually complaining about segre- gation and discrimination. For this expression he has been erit- icized, but has been fortunate enough to have vindication come along soquiek- ly on the heels of condemnation, that it was considered facts by some. Here is a case, at least, in which pub- lic sentiment has agreed with him in many instances. It is not advanced here and should not be advanced anywhere, that. criticism of men of his standing, placed in positions of trust and respon- bility, is always to be discburaged or reprehended when it is called forth by nonest conviction, and is intended toJbe ONSTRUCTIVE criticism. It may serve he very high purpose, but if intended 0 be directly personal, ‘then it is mis- hievous and likely to be DESTRUCTIVE. Such advice as Dr. Washington gave he Negroes of the south was highly ppreciated and applanded by the best f the southern white. In his death they ose a man highly esteemed and valued or his influence among his people of he south, whom he always advised to emain in the south—thet it was the eit place for them. The southern whites know well tha ¢-other class of laborers er domestics ould fill the places of these servants, rho for generations have served faith- ally and obediently, without pay or| | omplaint, now have to be contented ith whatever wage scale their em- loyer sees fit to pay. 1 In my opinion, there wae bat owe], coker T. Washingtbn—he steod pre- minently ALONE. Neither his prede-| } gesors in the: cause, or his probable] 3 séeessor, had or has the same person-| ; ity, of Dr. Washington, which was 1¢ secret of his great success. By J. D.
