THIRTIETH YEAR. NO. 30. THE LIFEHONOR THOSE ESTHENETTES BRIEF NEWS NOTES WORTH READING GENERAL SUMMARY OF HAPPEN INGS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. PUT INTO PARAGRAPH FORM Everything of Importance That Has Occurred in the Past Week Has a Place in These Classified Items That Can Be Read at a Glance. Washington The largest pension bill ever reported to congress, carrying appropriations aggregating $189,300,000, was passed by the house by a vote of 219 to 40, with an amendment which will make necessary an additional appropriation of more than $1,000,000. President Taft's veto of the Burnett-Dillingham immigration bill was overturned in the senate when the bill was repassed, 72 to 18, greatly in excess of the two-thirds vote necessary. President Taft replying to Madero's appeal to withhold American intervention in Mexico states that "extreme pessimism" prevails in this country as to the result of "the present most dangerous situation," and advises the Mexican president that "fresh assurances of friendship to Mexico are unnecessary after two years of patience and good will," and permits the inference that intervention is not contemplated." . . . Senator Root's proposed amendment to the Panama canal law to repeal the provision giving free passing to American coastwise ships was rejected by the U. S. senate committee on interoceanic canals. At a special meeting of the Taft cabinet various dispatches from Mexico were considered and it was decided that the information so far received afforded no basis for a change in the policy of the government of the United States, already indicated many times in the last two years. The United States senate passed the army appropriation bill. It carries an expenditure of $94,500,000. Hesitating almost to the very last minute of the time allowed for action on his part, President Taft vetoed the Dillingham-Burnett bill to regulate the immigration of aliens into the United States, embodying a provision for a rigid literary test upon all foreigners seeking to enter the United States. Domestic There will be no firemen's strike on the eastern railroads. The railroads have yielded and agree to arbitrate under the Erdman act the controversy with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. John H. Patterson, president of the National Cash Register company, who, with 28 other officials or former officials of the company, were convicted of criminal violation of the Sherman anti-trust law in Cincinnati, was sentenced to pay a fine of $5,000 and serve on year in jail. The 28 other defendants were sentenced to terms ranging from nine months to a year in jail, and to pay the costs. The amendment of the Nevada divorce law, requiring a residence in the state of one year, instead of six months, to go into effect January 1, 1914, passed the Nevada legislature. Fire destroyed the Columbia Print works at Monteville, N. J., with a loss of $750,000. An area of more than two acres was burned. Following a collision in a fog, the steamers Seminole and Cochran sank in San Francisco bay. Coolness and bravery of the officers and crews saved fifty passengers on the Seminole and sixty-two on the Cochran. Twenty five thousand dollars in silver bullion sank with the Cochran. Four persons were killed instantly and five seriously injured when a sawmill boiler exploded at Wallisville, in a lumber camp near Galveston, Tex. The exploding boiler, which weighed three tons, was hurled through the air across Trinity river, while the sawmill was almost wrecked and every one in that part of the building was scalded. * * * The scout cruiser Salem has put out from Philadelphia to make final tests of the new navy wireless station at Arlington preliminary to the acceptance of the plant from the contractors. The Salem's tests will be carried on for several weeks. --- Thirteen persons at the dinner table in the home of O. P. Ruston at Evanville, Ind., were injured when an acetylene gas tank in the basement exploded. The diners were thrown into the air together with sections of the floor and the furniture. Cipriano Castro, the former president of Venezuela, is free to come and go in this country at will. Judge Ward, in the federal district court in New York, sustained the writ of habeas corpus in his behalf, overruling the immigration authorities. THE GAZETTE Part of the $700,000 to be spent by New York state for representation at the International Panam-Pacific expoition, to be held at San Francisco in 1915, should be used for the erection of a monument at the Golden Gate to perpetuate some great world thought, in the opinion of Governor Sulzer. --- The discovery by Warden Johnson of a shaft and tunnel dug by two prisoners in Folsom penitentiary at Sacramento, Cal., blocked an ingenious attempt at jail delivery. . . . Robert Webb, outlaw and murderer, of whom Chicago has said for nearly a month, "He'll never be taken alive," is a prisoner in a cell at the detective bureau. With six shots from his revolver, all it contained, he tried to retain his liberty at the price of another detective. This man, William O'Connor of Captain Halpin's headquarters, staff, fired shot or shot in a street duel with the cornered bandit, and when neither had another bullet left, O'Connor grappled with Webb and snapped manacles on his wrists. Martin Berolzheimer, who was American vice-consul at Vienna from 1895 to 1897, committed suicide there by shooting. Mr. Berolzheimer recently had been ill and suffered from insomnia. His illness, it is believed, prompted his act. Balkan War The tension between Roumania and Bulgaria in connection with the Balkan situation has become acute. The European powers, however, have now taken steps both at Sofia and Bucharest to lessen the friction and an offer of mediation between the disputants is pending. --- A Turkish soldier attempted to assassinate in Constantinople and succeeded in badly wounding Enver Bey, the Young Turk leader and chief of staff of the army. He was stabbed several times. * * * Crete was evacuated by the protecting powers, Great Britain, Russia, France and Italy, and the Greek flag was hoisted amid enthusiastic demonstrations by the Cretans. Foreign Francisco I. Madero has been forced out of the presidency of Mexico. He was arrested at the National palace by General Blanquet. Gen. Victoriano Huerta, commander of the federal troops, was proclaimed provisional president. About the time Madero was seized his brother, Gustavo Madero the former minister of finance, was arrested by General Huerta. --- M. Raymond Poincaire, the new president, and former premier of France, was installed as chief executive of the republic in Paris amid scenes of great enthusiasm. It is estimated that in the fighting between the federal troops and the rebels under Gen. Felix Diaz in Mexico City, 1,500 persons have lost their lives and 5,000 have been wounded. Personal The body of Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras, was cremated in Oakland, Cal., and the ashes borne to the funeral monument on the estate the poet built with his own hands several years ago and there scattered to the winds. --- Sergeant John M. Walsh, U. S. A., arrived at Jefferson barracks, St. Louis, on foot after a 7,000-mile tramp across the continent and back under orders to test army shoes. Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute of New York, winner of the Nobel prize for medicine, has been decorated with the French Legion of Honor. Dr. James Monroe Taylor, president of Vassar college since 1868, has tendered his resignation to the board of trustees, to take effect at the end of the school year, in June. The Russell Sage Foundation, through its department of recreation, has sent letters to the heads of the various state federations of women's clubs urging them to begin campaigns at once for legislation authorizing the use of public schools for social centers. Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson, daughter of President-elect Wilson, is interested in the movement. Allan Hagen Pirie, son of John T. Pirie, one of the founders of the Chicago dry goods firm of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., has been divorced in the New York supreme court. Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, veteran publicist and former United States minister to Spain, died at his home in New York city. Miss Emmeline C. Upham, one of the best known newspaper women in the country, is dead in Washington, aged seventy-nine years. She was a society reporter well known to the occupants of the White House and in official and diplomatic social circles in the national capital. Maj. John J. Calrins, adjutant general, Third brigade Illinois National Guard, is dead at the Chicago Union hospital from injuries he suffered when he was crowded off an elevated railway platform. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. RESULTS OF CO-OPERATION. Trend Toward Unity Strongly Felt. Dr. J. B. Sandstrom as Financier Nashville, Tennessee - Business concerns, educational institutions, secret and mutual benefit societies managed by Afro-Americans are bound to succeed if properly conducted and supported by those for whom such concerns are organized. The trend of leaders of the race in almost every walk of life now seems to be toward co-operation, concentration and unity. This is an encouraging sign of real progress. The success of the race in conducting business and financial institutions on a large scale shows that our people are learning the lesson that in union there is strength, and that if we are to be a strong, industrious people there must be a union of forces working along all lines of industry, education and religion. The strong should help the weak, the more fortunate the less fortunate and the educated should strive to uplift those who still remain in ignorance. In the matter of finance the People's Savings Bank and Trust company in this city is a striking example of the possibilities of the race to succeed in DR. J. B. SINGLETON. matters of business requiring more than ordinary knowledge, executive ability, self reliance and skill. Dr. J. B. Singleton, who succeeded the late Dr. R. F. Boyd as president of the People's Savings Bank and Trust company, was again selected unanimously to head this institution at the annual stockholders' meeting of the bank held recently. Under his administration the success of the institution has been all that was desired by those connected with the concern, the last year, 1912, being the most prosperous in the history of the institution. The bank has a remarkable record for gains, and the total resources for 1912 were over $50,000, and this when, it will be remembered, the institution is only three and one-half years old. During the past year the gain in resources shows the amount to have been $21,000 and the capital stock increased $6,000, a condition largely attributed to the business acumen of President Singleton, who has about him a most worthy corps of local business men, who are his stance supporters and advisers. EMANCIPATION MEETING Advancement Association Holds Overflow—Celebration in Cooper Union. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a largely attended emancipation meeting in Cooper Union, New York. on Monday evening, Feb. 10, at 8 o'clock. Mr. John E. Milhooland presided. The principal speakers were Dr. M. C. B. Jason, the new national organizer of the association; Mrs. Fanny Garrison Villard and John Jay Chapman. There were brief remarks on resolutions presented to the meeting by Dr. Du Bols, Mr. Villard and Mr. Spingarn. There were plantation melodies sung by some of the members of Dr. G. H. Sim's church. The members of the flying squadron acted as ushers. It was fitting that such a meeting of the association be held in the hall where the great emancipator made his most memorable speech against slavery. The meeting was a great success. There was no charge for admission. Representative people of many races occupied seats on the platform as guests of honor. Lectures on Medical Jurisprudence. Register J. C. Napier of the United States treasury has gone to Nashville, Tenn., to deliver a series of lectures on "Medical Jurisprudence" before the classes of the Meharry Medical college, as has been his wont for a number of years. These lectures have to do with the legal side of the practice of medicine and are regarded as one of the most important features of the course at Meharry. Of this farreaching subject Mr. Napier is an acknowledged authority. The lectures are for February. Miss Davis to Make Tour of the South. Friends of Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis are much gratified at the success which she is having on her tour of the principal cities of Virginia. As a gifted elocutionist Miss Davis has long held the front rank in her profession. Her tour of Bermuda in 1912 was a brilliant triumph. Miss Davis will attend the inauguration festivities in Washington March 4, after which she will leave for an extended tour of the far south. Ministers' Union Forms Big Social Service Organization. PLAN COVERS WIDE FIELD. Necessity For United Effort on the Part of the Various Agencies For Uplift Among the Masses in the Community Awakens Great Anxiety Among Leaders. Richmond, Va.—The missionary and social service movement, was launched by the Interdenominational Ministers' union of this city recently at the city auditorium. The articles of the union, as read, were approved by Governor William Hodges Mann, Right Rev. Robert A. Gibson, D. D., bishop of Virginia; Editor John Mitchell, Jr., M. R. S. A., and many other prominent citizens. The Interdenominational Ministers' union plans to launch a missionary and social service movement in which it hopes to co-operate and affiliate more effectively with other agencies engaged in the work of moral, social and religious uplift and in the amelioration of many unfortunate conditions of our people in this great city. While it is evident that much good is being accomplished through various movements operating for the betterment of our city, it is also apparent that unification of work and aim is lacking. The missionary and social service movement plans to create a desire for united effort in the struggle against evils so rife in our midst; to awaken a deeper love for Christian knowledge and practice; to encourage industrial and intellectual training; to develop the spirit of business and domestic efficiency; to collect accurate data and issue publications pertaining to moral and health conditions. The promoters of the movement have used the following statement: "We observe with regret the rapidity with which our people are losing their places in domestic service and recommend basty advice and instruction to them in the dignity of labor, both skilled and unskilled. We advocate the establishment and maintenance of a labor bureau to cooperate with employment agencies in placing suitable help and furnishing temporary shelter to worthy persons seeking employment. Our hospitals, orphan asylums and homes for the aged and decrepit are meeting a great and laudable demand, but there is still a great need for day nurseries, kindergarten and playgrounds, where the children may be cared for and helped in an atmosphere which is purer and more healthy than that which the street affords. We believe in the public library and reading room as means to lessen vagrancy, to attract the young from harmful amusements and to stimulate an aspiration for the higher things of life. We deplore the insanity and congested conditions of our tenement districts where immorality of all kinds runs rampant, and we advise the formation of neighborhood unions in various colored districts, the purpose of which would be to create sentiment against insanity conditions. As ministers of the gospel engaged in the practical missionary and social work of the city we hear the first cry of the distressed. Calls for material and spiritual help are continually coming. Shall we close our ears to the call and our hearts to the need? We appeal to the rich to help the poor; we appeal to the fortunate to help the unfortunate; we appeal to the strong to help the weak. And with consolidation of all forces committed to constructive missionary and social work we believe a new epoch will begin in the effective consideration and solution of our city problems. As soon as a permanent organization shall have been perfected direct appeals will be made to philanthropic citizens to aid in fostering this worthy cause. J. W. Eaters, pastor of Leigh Street M. E. church; T. W. Johnson, pastor of First Baptist church; Moses Lake, pastor of Asbury M. E. church; J. E. Harper, pastor of First Presbyterian church; O. G. Jenkins, pastor of A. M. E. Zion church; C. L. Somers, president, rector of St. Philip's P. E. church, and S. S. Morris, secretary, pastor of Third Street A. M. E. church, are the leaders of this new movement for the uplift of the race in Richmond. The Neighborhood club co-operates with the associated charities and the health department of the city. It has branches in each church. It meets a long standing need in relief work among the poor and destitute and is giving accurate study to the care of health and sanitary conditions. Mrs. Ora Stokes is president of the organization. Smart Set Club's Annual Carnival. The Smart Set Athletic club in Brooklyn will hold its third annual monster carnival under the sanction of the Amateur Athletic union at the Forty-seventh regiment armory on Wednesday evening. March 26. Chairman J. Hoffman Woods has plans well under way for the accommodation of patrons and special invited guests. He has also formed an honorary committee of prominent citizens to co-operate with the committee of arrangements and the officials of the club. REUNION OF PHILATELICS. Cyrus Field Adams Guest at Society Function in Washington. Among the guests at the reunion dinner of the Washington Philatelic society in the red room of the Ebbit House recently was Mr. Cyrus Field Adams, formerly assistant register of the treasury and one of the best known philatelists in the country. Mr. Adams is still making his home in Washington and will go into business when his plans are fully matured. It will be remembered that Mr. Adams was once south town clerk of Chicago, elected by the people, and it is said that he sets greater store by his victory in this connection than in any other achievement in his long and useful public life. Mr. Adams is quite a linguist, speaking fluently German, French, Spanish and Italian, besides his mother tongue. He is still editor of the Appeal, published at Chicago and St. Paul, and ranks among the veterans of the journalistic craft of the race. SECRET SOCIETY AFFAIRS Grand United Order of True Reformers Adds to Membership. Evidence of the complete rehabilitation and growth of the Grand United Order of True Reformers is apparent from all sources. Old members are returning, new ones are being added, and confidence is being restored. Through the strenuous efforts of the president, Mr. Floyd Ross, much has been accomplished to the great delight of the race. At the semiannual meeting of the board of directors recently held President Ross, the secretary and the treasurer made a report exceeding any made to the board for the past six years. Since August $29,000 has been received, 35,000 policies issued and eighty-three Fountains and Rosebud nurseries organized. The headquarters of the organization are in Richmond, Va. It has branches throughout the country. EDITORS MEET EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR BUSINESS Midwinter Session In Philadelphia Was Largely Attended and Beneficial. Philadelphia.—The midwinter meeting of the executive committee of the National Negro Press association was held in this city at the headquarters of the emancipation proclamation commission on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 1. President R. W. Thompson called the meeting to order and presided during the preliminary speechmaking, in which words of welcome were extended to the committee by Philadelphia editors, ministers, doctors and lawyers. N. Barnett Dodson, chairman of the executive committee, presided over the business session, which lasted nearly five hours, during which time the more important phases of newspaper work were discussed. Corresponding Secretary Henry Allen Boyd made an exhaustive report of the work done since the Chicago meeting. The report showed that through Mr. Boyd's efforts scores of editors had joined the association and with few exceptions all the members of the executive committee had complied with the bylaws by paving their annual dues. The matter of a reciprocal news service was presented by Mr. Daniel H, Murphy of the Afro-American Ledger, Baltimore, and the question of how to get news into plate from all the different sections of the country was brought up by Mr. James H. Anderson, managing editor of the Amsterdam News, New York. These two leading features and the matter of standardization of advertising, program and other arrangements for the annual meeting after being briefly discussed were on motion referred to a subcommittee of five members of the executive committee headed by Mr. T. Thomas Fortune. Among the editors who took an active part in the proceedings were Dr. R. W. Wright of the Christian Recorder; D. H. Murphy and Franklin F. Johnson, Baltimore; A. P. Caldwell, Philadelphia; Fred R. Moore, New York; James H. Anderson, New York; James A. Lightfoot, Atlantic City, N. J.; W. H. Craighead, Harrisburg, Pa. James W. Poe, Richmond, Va.; W. J. Lorter, Knoxville, Tenn.; John Clinton, Jr., Philadelphia; Mr. Jones of the Northern Planet, Philadelphia, and G. Grant Williams of the Philadelphia Tribune. Resolutions indorsing Mr. Fred R. Moore's appointment by President Taft as United States minister to Liberia were passed by a unanimous vote. Full details of the plans of the association will be published later. Work on the newspaper and publishers' directory under Secretary Boyd is meeting with a goodly measure of success. Editors and publishers who have not sent in their matter for the directory as requested by the secretary should do so at once. The committee accepted the invitation of the proprietor of the Hotel Dale, Cape May, N. J. through Editor James H. Anderson, to hold one session of the annual meeting in August at the Hotel Dale. Demonstration Agents Aid Farmers. The influence of the demonstration agents of the department of agriculture upon rural life in the south is having a good effect. Thousands of farmers are taking instruction from these agents and putting it into practical use on their farms. They are finding out the real value of knowing how to select seed and soil and the best time to plant. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Wiley university has just finished a building costing $30,000, besides a $3,000 president's home and a $3,000 dormitory. At Claflin university "Tingley Memorial Hall" has been built by the students and has cost more than $50,000, while a medical college costing $15,000 has had two-thirds of its cost contributed by the students. One colored conference, besides giving $6,000 to the Freedman's Aid, has given $7,000 to other benefiolences. A church in Lynchburg, Va., with a membership of 500, all moderate wage-earners, the maximum salary of whom is $700, has given $5,000 for Christian education. The Jubilee singing troupe of Claflin university are said to have "sung up" four large brick buildings for their college during their 15 vacations. It is also said that the collections last year from the negro contingent were $10,000 more than on any previous year. Negro orators make much of the panels in Lincoln hall, Springfield, Ill., recently erected by the State university, representing the "Down River Trip of the Slave Auction," "Lincoln and Douglas Debate," "The Inaugural Address," "Lincoln, the Savior of the Slave," and the "Gettysburg Address," together with those phrases of the respective occasions, which have become classic in American literature. According to the New York Age, a white theater there, in the most cosmopolitan city of the world, is barring colored people; the Chicago Defender bewails a "Jim Crow" division in the jail in Chicago; the Indianapolis Ledger cries injustice at the decision of the court in the case of a colored fortune teller accused of assaulting a white client—all of which goes to show that this thing of color prejudice is found everywhere, north, east, west, as well as south. Moreover, it shows that unless the great bulk of black folks is reached more thoroughly by the softening influence of education and Christianity, this prejudice will be unconfined and uncontrollable. After all, in most instances, it is not the color primarily that works against the race in the matter of common justice and ordinary accommodations, it is the disgusting lack of decorum, the boisterousness, the lack of everyday refinement and the general "cussedness" that characterizes evermore of a very great number of the race. Add to this the badge of color and you have it. The schools and churches have failed to do their whole duty in reaching the people that need them most. Education—education of heart and soul and head and hand—that is all that can save the race. Louisville News. There have been a great many negroes in the past fifty years who neglected to protect their rights in their inventions, and have died poor and unknown. The story is often told of one such New Yorker who invented many of the earlier railroad car appliances while employed by a certain railroad, but, failing to protect any of them, was defrauded of his rights and died in poverty. Such cases are always tragically pathetic. Negro inventors should be careful to patent their work. It is not possible to estimate their value until the demand for them has been measured. Some of the simplest inventions, like the bread-saving knife and the hook and eyes for dresses, have been the most useful and profitable—New York Age. The Illinois Chronicle hopes "that a change for the better is to be the order of things, and that our experience of the past 50 years will help the race to do better, requiring better ministers better leaders, more gospel of industry, of work, of thrift, of education and of right principles generally, to the end that the race may come in its rightful glories of eternal life in the world to come." That is all of a reasonable hope, and there is plenty of good foundation laid in the past 50 years upon which to base it. There are grave and instructive lessons which the negro may learn with profit to himself and postference if he would heed the call; but, he must relegate suspicion, fear, envy and jealousy, unite the feeble remnants of his scattered ranks and determine to win, if he ever hopes to be a mighty force among the mighty nation in a mighty land. Love that is at first so delicate that an ill-fitting pair of trousers may destroy it wholly may later become so strong as to be reconciled even to onions. A man always thinks down deep in his heart that a woman is sensible if she refuses him—and usually he is right. Motive power for a tramway that ascends one of the Austrian Alps is provided by a gas balloon, which lifts cars along a track. Faint heart seldom escapes fair widow. Any man who shaves himself is apt to cut his best friend. PY FIVE CENTS. AN CULLINGS During the coming summer will occur the semi-centennial of President Lincoln's proclamation freeing the African slaves held in the southern states. The freedmen of 50 years ago were as poor as poverty could be, and as ignorant as darkest Africa. During the summer the African race dwelling in southern California will hold a golden jubilee, and it is claimed that 25,000 of them will participate. At a meeting held in Los Angeles late in December, one of the leaders at the meeting held to plan for the jubilee made the announcement that the negroes of the United States number 12,000,000. They have proved in the main industries, thrifty and law abiding beyond anything that might reasonably have been expected from a race so long held in bondage. If in the 50 years they make as much material, intellectual and moral progress as in the first half century of their freedom, they will do much to disabuse the popular mind of its prejudice against the black race. In some of the smaller places of Texas, where negroes give "entertainments," etc., white men are very conspicuous and take almost as much interest as the negroes. They cut out the practice, as it is not a good one, in fact, the white man who "hangs" around negro festivals is not there for any good and should be given to understand that his presence is not wanted. He is a germ breeder of trouble, and if we can't get rid of him, quit giving the entertainments. The chivalrous white man who is helping to make history, and who is helping in the material advancement of our country, is not the one who participates in negro socials. The Texas Guide is uncompromisingly opposed to social equality in any old form, and more so against "after dark social equality."—The Texas Guide. The spirit of missionary work among the Africans in Africa is far from dead among the white church workers of the United States and Europe, especially Great Britain. Not long ago a large number of white missionaries left Philadelphia for foreign fields of labor, some to Asia and some to Africa, but the most part for Asia; last week seven other whites left Philadelphia for British East Africa, German East Africa and the Belgian Congo, "where, with the permission of the directing governments, they will attempt to spread the gospel of Christianity among the savage negroes of the Kikuyu, Masal and Akamba tribes." The missionaries gathered at Philadelphia from various sections of the United States.—New York Age. The United States circuit court of appeals in Chicago decided that the heirs of twenty-eight negro stevedores who were killed in an explosion on the steamer Tlogo, on the Chicago river, twenty-three years ago, were entitled to $100,000. Every direct descendant of the identified dead, either has died or disappeared. The steamship company wound up its affairs years ago. The attorney who defended the case and the lawyer who prosecuted it are dead. It is said there will be an opportunity for heirs of the dead to collect damages, if any heirs can be located. The company deposited a $200,000 cash bond before it went out of business. The American Missionary association belonging to the Congregational body, is equally devoted to negro education. It has 100 schools under its auspices, with pupils to the number of 16,000, of whom negroes predominate. Jubilee hall of Fisk university is a monument of the musical genius of the negro, as also the origin of the quint melodies which charmed the world nearly half a century ago. Congregational churches, Sunday schools and Christian Endeavor societies, correspondingly with the Methodist group, utilize the month of February financially and spiritually for the uplift of the colored race and the honor of Abraham Lincoln. This association sends an order of worship to pastors, superintendents and leaders desiring it, designing for instruction and entertainment in "The Golden Jubilee of Emancipation" on Lincoln Memorial Sunday, February 9. For 66 years the association has worked, "under the flag, with the flag and for the flag." As long as there is hope in the heart pour what liquor you will therein and the hope will turn it sweet. Following Christ should mean very much more than wearing a red button and going to church in pleasant weather. Instructions in bacteriology, anatomy, and biology is given in many German schools with the aid of motion pictures. Every man thinks he knows a lot about women until he marries one. It isn't half as far from virtue to vice as it is from vice to virtue. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newpaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. As The Gazette predicted, our people of the north, particularly, are paying dearly for Jack. Johnson's escapades. Too bad. Ohio's separate marriage bill must be fought. What are our state leaders doing to make the necessary organized effort and protest? We regard Mr. T. W. Taylor's letter—protest, republished elsewhere in this paper, as one of the strongest and best on the subject of intermarriage, we have ever seen. It will repay you, many times, for a careful reading. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker is not only "a live man" but also a mighty "live statesman" as some people, a trifle slow politically, will learn before so very long. He will, too, be the next President of the United States. --- James Hammond of Oyster Bay, I, I, N, Y., who died, Jan. 17, left an estate estimated at $30,000. He could not read or write, consequently his will is signed with a mark. Hammond was about 70 years old and for 50 years had been employed on an estate, as coachman, etc. This is remarkable, to say the least. Kansas and Iowa legislatures have killed their anti-intermarriage bills. Now let the Legislature of our grand old state, Ohio, do likewise. We firmly believe that it will because it is far "too late in the day" for "Buckeye" civilization to begin to go backward, retrograde. Our good friend, Editor John Mitchell of the Richmond (Va.) Planet, will please not attempt further, to draw us into that N. Y. Age-Washington (D. C.) Bee fight-mess. We are, however, free to say that, with the Planet and all other pioneer reputable race publications, we incline to the Age's side of the controversy. Mrs. Laura C. Napier of Vancouver, B. C., who claims to be a daughter of "Col. Bob." Church (deceased), Memphis, Tenn., is in this country with her husband, and is preparing to contest the Church will. Her mother is in New Orleans, La., and, it is calmed, was married to the "Colonel" before the war of the rebellion. Mr. Church was the father of Mrs. Mary Church "Ferrell of Washington, D. C., and was married twice since the war. Did the "Colonel" have a skeleton in his closet"? U. S. Collectors McKinley, Cottrill and all the other Afro-American (Republican) federal office-holders, not covered by civil service (and even some of them) will have to "go," under the incoming Wilson (Dem.) administration, and are wasting their time trying to "hang on." Gentlemen, Tillman, Vardaman, Heflin, Roddenberry, Hoke Smith and their "kidney" will be "on the job" after the fourth of next month, and you ought to know what that means when it comes to Afro-Americans (of any political faith for that matter) holding federal positions of any consequence during the next four years. "DUCK!" The "Protective Committee of White Fraternities," South Bend, Ind. G. E. Swisher, sec., is sending out petitions to all of their secret organizations throughout the country, asking to have them filled with signatures and forwarded to members of Congress. The petitions ask the enactment of a law that will "put out of business" Afro-American Masons, Odd Fellows, K. of P., and all other race secret organizations that conflict with theirs even in the matter of name only. The following is a copy of the proposed bill: "BE IT ENACTED BY THE SEN ATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENT ATIVES OF THE U. S. ASSEMBLED —That it shall be unlawful for any society, fraternity or organization to seize or receive through the U. S. mails, any written or printed matter representing such society, fratern alternate, or association named or designated or entitled by any name hereafter adopted, any word or part of which title shall be Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, or the name of any bird or animal, or the name of which bird or animal be already ready to receive part of its title or by any other society, fraternal order or association. The District Courts of the U. S. shall have jurisdiction on the petition of any person or persons to restrain the unlawful use of such name as herein forbidden." OHIO'S SEPARATE MARRIAGE BILL. A marked copy of The Gazette of last week, was sent to each member of the Ohio House of Representatives and Senate at Columbus, in an effort to remind the members thereof with respect to the anti-inmarriage bill question. The latter has been recommended for passage by the judiciary committee of the House, and unless our people of this state arouse them- selves from their dormant condition, and get very active in their opposition to the insulting and outrageous measure, it will pass. What are you doing, reader, if a resident of this state, to help kill the pernicious bill? See the members of the State Senate and House in your county as soon as you can, and enter vigorous protest against House Bill, No. 27 which you will find published elsewhere in this paper. Then see that delegations, composed of the very best men and women to be secured in your community, are sent to Columbus, just as soon as possible—before it is too late —to talk with the members of the Assembly and urge them to vote against and kill that separate marriage bill, in the interest of good morals, if for no other reason, and there are many. This is absolutely necessary. Here is real work also for our State Federation of Women's Clubs particularly, all other state and local organizations, churches, lodges, etc., and leaders of our people in the various communities of Ohio. Again we warn our readers and people of the state that prompt action is absolutely necessary if the bill is to be killed as it should and must be. Our people of Kansas and Iowa have blazed the way by doing that very thing with the bills of the same kind introduced in the Assemblies of those states, recently, and we can do it too. IF WE WILL New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Jersey and other northern state Afro-Americans have the same kind of a fight on their hands and are not only protesting to individual members of their State Assemblies when they are at home, week ends, but are also sending delegation after delegation of their most intelligent and prominent men and women, to their state capitals, in effort to defeat the pernicious, insulting and outrageous measures. Will you heed this call? It is a duty you owe yourself and those who come after us. A CLEVER OLD POLITICAL "TRICK." Cyrus Field Adams knew (as usual) what he was doing (as The Gazette announced at the time) when he resigned the position of assistant register of the U. S. treasury at Washington, D. C., during the campaign, last fall "in order to give all of his time to furthering the political interests of Presidential Candidate Taft." Cyrus felt as did about every one else—that the President had about as much chance of being re-elected as a fly has of living in the hot-place many claim to be desirous of seeing Blease, Tillman, Dixon, Vardaman, Heffin, Riddenberry and others of their Negro STEVE FIELD ADAMS hating "kidney," land eventually if not sooner. Wherefore Cyrus wisely "ducked" (resigned) early and in so doing made a "grandstand" political "play" that so tickled the politically unsophisticated "mush of concession," as Alfred Henry Lewis terms the President, that he has by executive order "covered" the cool, calculating Cyrus into a good civil service job in N. Y. City, "Cyu," old "chap" and friend, we salute you! for the successful 'demonstration of a clever though old political "trick" that will continue the Government's dollars rolling into the door of the Adams "shack" in sufficient numbers to keep the "wolf" of want from the same and permit you to continue assisting your brother John in editing the St. Paul and Chicago Appeal. FIGHTING A VICIOUS BILL. Trenton, N. J.—The Assembly bill prohibiting the marriage of a white person to a Colored or mulatto, and vice versa, was strongly opposed before the Assembly Judiciary Committee last week by a committee of Colored men. The gagation said they represented a committee of 100 Jersey City Colored people organized to fight the measure. The spokesmen were Dr. George E. Cannon, Edward S. Lynch, Rev. W. S. Smith, William Carr, J. C. Dunnell and William Simmons. The chief election man was that it unjust discrimination against their race and would, as a law, encourage immoral and illegal relations. DOINGS OF THE RACE. A "jim crow" car bill was introduced in the Illinois senate, Lincoln's birthday, by a Democratic colon. One has been introduced in the Delaware Legislature, too. Major Chas. W. Fillmore, former resident of Springfield, O., now connected with the internal revenue service in N. Y. City, is colonel of the regiment our people there is endeavoring to get into the state militia, and vice-president of the Equity Congress, a local civic organization. James T. Bradford, the well-known and well-to-Baltimore and Washingtonian, is dead. He beat himself who went to Liberia, Africa, with Major Chas. Young, a year or two ago, to help reorganize the Liberian army, led the charge and defeated the rebellious Kroo natives, recently. Loss, 8 killed and 15 wounded (Liberian soldiers) Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago left, Tuesday, with forty business men of that city, as his guests, to visit Tuskegee, Ala., Normal and Industrial school. Mr. Rosenwald has given 25,000 each to "fim crow" Y. M. C. A.'s in Washington, D. C., Atlanta, Ga., Indianapolis, Ind., or Philadelphia, Pa., and Chicago. G. Foster of the University of Chicago, advocates intermariage as a solution of the so-called "race problem."

In some of the smaller places of Texas, where Negroes give "entertainments," etc., white men are very conspicuous and take almost as much interest as the Negroes. Let them cut out the practice, as it is not a good one, in fact, white man who "haugs" around Negro festivals is not there for any good and should be given to understand that his presence is not wanted. He is a germ breeder of trouble, and if we can't get rid of him, quit giving the entertainments. The chivalrous white man who is helping to make history, and who is helping in the material advancement of our country, is not the one who participates in Negro socials.

I can call by me every family of the class mentioned in how it ultimately the results above outlined. Of the 30,000 so-called Negro population in Michigan, more than 29,000 are of mixed white and black blood. Not as a result of mixed marriages in this state to be sure, but because they possessed mixed blood when they came here. Now comes along a new representative at Lausan and wants a statute passed making the white and black people a protected breed of people branded as felons and all or many of them who may dare love and wed a Caucasian, subject to a penalty of 15 years in the penitentiary. It is almost unbelievable that here in enlightened and civilized Michigan a man could be found to father so inhuman a measure. Certainly there is no reason for such a law. If the Negro is so ugly that it would be a good thing to get rid of him who does not rather pass a law preventing the intermarriage. This would either force them The resignation of Bishop Henry M.

A STRONG PROTEST INTRODUCED IN THE OHIO, AND MICHIGAN EGISLA- TOR Such Legislation Promotes Immorality—Absolutely No Necessity for It Anyhow—Unconstitutional and Vicious. Detroit, Mich. Feb. 12, '13. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Cleveland, Ohio. Editor Gazette, Dear Siar:—in view of the fact that a member of the Ohio Legislature has made the mistake one of his members has—of introducting an amendment to the law, also recognizing the interest you must take in the matter as a member of the race who has served three terms in the Ohio Legislature, and for thirty years published our "old reliable" Gazette. I am sending you the following letter—protest, first published in the Free Press of Feb. 2, '13, hoping that you will, will room for it in the Gazette: To the Editor: Recently I had the pleasure of reading in a local journal an excerpt from a statement made by Rabbi Fleischer, a Boston white man, in which it was stated he said that he "would marry a Negro woman if she appealed to him and would give his daughter to a Negro gentleman if they loved each other". In 1903 during a career as a Light Guard armory, this city benigner of South Carolina, in answer to a question by the writer as to "where so many people of mixed white and black blood came from in his section of the country," made a similar "confession of faith," but from a far different premise. He said: "White men always mix their blood with native races where ever they go," obviously meaning that the white people of the south had mixed their blood with the Negro in the large proportion of mixed blood found in the southern population notwithstanding their laws forbidding intermarriage. It appears, then, a more or less mixture of the blood of different races is bound to result from the fact that two or more races occupy the same land in any event. And it seems that the only question before the people is the method of permitting the race of the Fleischer would pursue as the civilized, humane, honorable and it may be added, even in his case, the Christian method of permitting the blood mixture of the races, while the method approved by Mr. Tillman is the selfish, immoral and altogether heathen Thaddeus W. Taylor. method, for he would limit the privilege of "blood mixing" to white men and black women only, for he further said when making the above statement that, "white women never do." Of course, the wish in this last case was father to the thought for if "white men" always mix their blood with "native races," laws or no laws, and "white women never do," then in heaven's name why do white men burden themselves by preventing honorable intermarriage between those who always mix their blood without regard to law and thus encourage immorality and irresponsibility? It seems clear that Dr. Fleischer has taken the saving and righteous view of this question. Perhaps, in making his statement he was following the example set by one of the illustrious forefathers of his people, Moses, who the Bible tells us, "married an Ethiopian woman." Here in Michigan the races have been free to intermarry since 1884 when Senator Romeyn, a Democrat, had a bill passed removing the dissatisfaction then about 30 mixed couples of the better class have married. I know of no instance among these marriages where the results have not been entirely satisfactory from every viewpoint, save alone that of prejudice. They always made devoted couples ever found in the divorce courts. They live the lives of good citizens, and the children of such marriages seem to reach above the average in many respects, becoming pro- fessionals, business people and leaders both socially and otherwise. I can call by name every family of the class mentioned in Michigan and know intimately the results above outlined. Of the 30,000 so-called Negro population in Michigan, more than 29,000 are of mixed white and black blood. Not all of them are in Michigan to be sure, but because they possessed mixed blood when they came here. Now comes along a new representative at Lansing and wants a statute passed making the white and black ancestors of these worthy people branded as felons and all or any of them who may dare love and wed a Caucasian, subject to a penalty of 15 years in prison, unbelievable that here in naughty and civilized Michigan a man could be found to father so inhuman a measure. Certainly there is no reason for such a law. If the Negro is so ugly that it would be a good thing to get rid of him why not rather pass a law preventing the intermarriage of Negroes. This would either force them to marry whites or remain unmarried or to marry blacks there would be no more Colored people in the country. This, of course, is only a suggestion. The better way is to leave inviolate the freedom of contract even in the matter of marriage, as between healthy and mentally competent people. There are just as high ambitions under Colored skins as there are under white skins, but the proponents of the law have tins far succeeded in limiting the opportunities for Negro ambitions. Then again, such laws as attempt to prohibit marriage between the races are unconstitutional inasmuch as they interfere with the religious duty of both clergy and laymen. For it is the command of holy writ, and of the laws of several religious denominations, to join in holy wedlock all those of their members who rightfully apply, 'rightfully' referring to church and law and not by state law. The institutions of all the states and of the United States forbid any law that interferes with religion. Each citizen being free to worship according to his own conscience, which includes certain matrimonial duties. Father James Reilly, the now venerable and saintly priest of the mighty Catholic church, always married mixed couples when one was a Catholic in spite of the prohibition before 1884. If the white people of this nation have concluded that the laws of the population, then treat them as though the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments and the various states' laws, forbidding discrimination on account of color, were made and adopted in good faith. Constant degradation of any given class of people tends to make criminals of them, and the Negro people is no exception to the rule except in this, that in spite of much oppression it is seldom a black tramp is seen nor are they given to crime nearly as much as might, under the circumstances, be expected. THADDEC W. TAYLOR. 605 Beaulieu Street. HERE IT IS! Ohio's Anti-Intermarriage Bill — Worse than An Inault—An Outrage! 80th General Assembly, Regular Session, 1913. (Columbus, Ohio.) H. B. No. 27. MR. REPEPT. A BILL To amend Section 11181 of the General Code and provide what persons may enter into a marriage contract. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio: Section Section 11181 of the General Code be amended so as to read as follows: Sec. 11181. Male persons of the age of 18 years and female persons of the age of 16 years, not nearer kin than second cousins and not having a husband or wife living, may be joined in marriage. Male persons unmarried may be joined in marriage persons under the age of 18 years must first obtain the consent of their fathers, respectively, or in the case of death or incapacity of their fathers, then of their mothers or guardians. Provided, however, that the intermarriage of white persons with Negroes, mulattos, or persons of mixed blood descendant from a Negro to the third generation, inclusive, or Chinamen their living brother or Chinamen their wife in the State is hereby prohibited. The persons knowingly violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof, shall undergo imprisonment in the penitentiary not less than one or more than five years and the court may in the event of conviction on the recommendation of the jury substitute, and imprisonment in the penitentiary, fine, and imprisonment in the county jail. Section 2. That said original Section 11181 of the General Code of Ohio be and the same is hereby repealed. We cannot commend too strongly the following excerpt from an editorial in the N. Y. Age of last week: "The Negro must fight for his rights, the least and greatest, whenever they are assailed, or he will have none in the end. The Separate Marriage law scheme should be fought to the bitter end. At the bottom of the whole scheme to isolate the Negro citizens in all of the public and private relations of life—in the industrial trades, skilled and unskilled, by trades union rules and regulations; in asegregating them, separating them to themselves in living quarters, in schools, in counties, and in branding them by law as so far inferior that they may not marry and give in marriage, as other races of the citizenship are free to do; in eating and drinking in places of licensed accommodation and amusement, and in accommodations in travel, by land and sea, as others are free to do—at the bottom of the whole scheme is to be found the slave-hold, and in the law of precedent by chief Justice Roger B. Taney of the Federal Supreme Court in 1856, that "it has been so far held to be good law and precedent that a black man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect." Turn Over a New Leaf By subscribing for THIS PAPER THIS FAMOUS SOCIAL AND LITER ARY CLUB'S SECOND ANNUAL LINCOLN - DOUGLASS BANQUET. AN EXCEPTIONALLY ENJOYABLE SUCCESS The Program and Menu—Dr. James A. Page and Hon. Harry C. Smith, the Speakers — A Grand Ball Closes the Fine Social Function—A Most Creditable Organization. Pittsburgh, Pa. — Last Wednesday evening, Feb. 12, the Locendi club, known throughout the east, south and middle west as one of the most successful high-class social and literary organizations among our people of this country, gave its second annual Lincoln-Dougault banquet and ball in October 2003 at our own property) at No. 83 Fullerton St., this city. To say that it was the club's usual success, is putting it far too mildly. When the 200 guests were seated at the banquet tables, it was indeed a scene of beauty, exceptionally satisfying and long to be remembered. Many of the ladies were dressed in elegant attire, gentlemen were fittingly attired in evening dress. The music, service and speeches were the best and thoroughly enjoyed. Everybody was happy and most enthusiastic indeed as a result. In an account of the banquet, our local publication, the Courier, contained the following: "The beautiful women were dressed in elegantly decorated. The addresses were eloquent and interesting. Hon. Harry C. Smith urged his hearers to emulate the principles of Douglass in the mat- Hon. Harry C. Smith. ter of fighting for manhood rights. Mr. Smith is an ardent fighter for fair play and justice—in short—he is a race man through and through." In opening his address, the speaker paid a glowing and deserved tribute of praise to the Loendi client, and then roused his intelligent audience to a fine pitch of enthusiasm with his impassioned references to the greatest man our race has produced to date. He then introduced his ciphers for which the "grand old man eloquent" stood until the day of his death. Mr. Smith forced home the fact that Frederick Douglas never preached any "doctrine of surrender" or compromise when it came to the Afro-American's citizen's rights and privileges, but fought on for his people for all that was due a MAN and citizen, without reference to his color or class (trace), until the Master called him "a man of great reward of almost a life-long battle first for liberty for his battle and then for their rights and privileges under the law. It was an inspiring address and was given most enthusiastic endorsement throughout. Each passing year must have it's Must have it's share of sorrow and sorrow. Must have it's share of sorrow and of gladness; Yet joy is ours since in that hour of battle. That hour of doom—when the immor tal LINCOLN Gave forth the edict that made men of chattel. And gave to us that man of great men—DOUGLAS, S. ROSEMOND, The chairman, Assistant County Prosecutor, Wm. M. Randolph, and other speakers are residents of this city, well known as fine speakers, Attorney W. M. Randolph. and thoroughly pleased the splendid audience. They maintained the high standard. Prior to the speaking, the following menu was served, the service being excellent: Fruit cocktail, clam bouillon, rolls, sweetbread croquettes, mushrooms, chicken a la king, French peas, tomato salad, cream cheese, crackers, ice cream in fancy forms, assorted cakes, candy wafers, salted nuts, coffee. The program was as follows: Introductory remarks; master of ceeremony, W. M. Malphin; "The Ladies," by Arthur W. Lynch; "Abraham Lincoln." Dr. James A. Page,"Frederick Douglass." Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette and ex-member of the Ohio Legislature. Music was furnished by Bovid, Ayr and Beatty. The committee in charge was composed of William M. Randolph, chairman; John T. Writt, Litt. G. Moseby, Dr. J. A. Age, bomas T. Jackson, E. E. Wood, R. Rosemond, Foziier and S. R. Rosemond. They have every reason to feel proud of the banquet and bail, for it certainly was a grand success in every way. Sylvester J. Jones, secretary of the club, and S. R. Rosemond of the committee, were wonderfully helpful in making complete all arrangements. Among those in attendance upon Here is a True Friend of the Ethiopian Race.

The Du Bois Literary club's lecture in March, Sunday afternoon, the 16th, will be at Shiloh Baptist church. The edition of The Gazette be the speaker. Tell your friends and acquaintances. The loud-mouthed young and old Negro, male and female, in public places, especially street cars, is daily making it mighty bad for our people in this community. Just watch and see if the Gazette is not right about this. G. A. Morgan, in addition to equip- ping the Peerless Auto Co., with his breathing helmet and in return take- ing a car in part payment, has sold 27 helmets in Akron fire departments —12 to Rubber Co's, and 15 to the Goodrich, Firestone & Co., and has an order from Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. and Mrs. Joanna Gregg of this city, have given James Taylor of Maysville, Ky. Afro-American servant of the late Mrs. $30 a month, or more if this proves to be insufficient for his support. Taylor had been in the employ of Mrs. Collins for about forty years, and is a worthy man. Mrs. S. H. Hadley of Spokane, Wash., formerly Mrs. David F. Washington of E. 28th, (old Greenwood) St., died recently. Parallels. Many of our older residents will remember her, and all extend heartfelt sympathy to the relatives of the deceased. The May Co. discharged ten or fifteen Afro-American porters, last week, without any warning whatever, current rumor has it. Wonder if that company has too much Afro-American trade? White porters took their places too. Where is our organs to investigate this and do what we are clearly able to do if we want to, providing of course the rumors are correct? Rev. Harrison's farewell sermon at the closing of Cory's revival, Sunday evening week, was fine. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity. The various organizations of the church are again meeting regularly and Supt. Schooler of the S. S. is greatly pleased as a result of the S. S's steady growth. The officers and staff are also. The officers and service. The revival netted the church 85 additions. The Sanitary committee furnished lunches to those who did not care to go home, Sunday week. We are told that the Prospect theater draws a color-line on our people most, if not quite all, of the year. And yet hundreds of them rushed there, this week, to give their hard-earned dollars to its management simply because some "Colored company" was there. Is it any wonder that there is so little respect for them that they are made "pariads" of, most if not quite all, of the year? People who have so little respect for them, are entitled to any better treatment. The pity of it is that all of us have to suffer. Will some of our people ever learn? O, Lord, how long; O, how long! Attorney Louis Gregory of Washington, D.C., was the guest of Mr. and Mr. Thomas W. Fleming, last week, Mr. Gregory is an advocate of the Abdul Baha spirit.

Bailey spoke on "Women's Clubs" and greatly encouraged all present. Covers were laid for 24. The club presented the hostess with a beautiful set of table linen. It is not necessary to add that all spent a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. The only slave reprisal in Cleveland's history was recalled last Friday at the funeral of Lucius A. Benton, 4412 Lamont Ave. abolitionist and pioneer, who died Tuesday. In 1861 U. S. soldiers entered the Benton home, then on Prospect Ave., and took away Lucy, claimed by William S. Goshorn of Wheeling, as a slave. Benton at once raised $1,000 to purchase her freedom, but she was taken back by Goshorn. Many years later, Lucy back to the service of the Bentons, married a man by the name of Johnson, and died only a few years ago. Boethian class of St. John's S.

Be sure to attend and hear something encouraging and pleasing. The Du Bois Literary club scored another distinct success. Monday evening, at Perry theater. An audience that nearly filled the lower part of the house and occupied about two front rows of the balcony showed unmistakably and repeatedly how greatly pleased it was as a result of the excellent presentation of the four act drama, "The Miller's Daughter." All the participants did well and this includes the musical solos and quartettes. The intervals between the acts were rather long, however, and could have been satisfactorily filled with a little more music. There was also an unusually long delay in open direction, and the director J. W. Wills, and the club committee in charge of the entertainment, Mesdames Blanche Gilmere, Bessie Kitzmiller and Viola Burbridge, have many reasons to fill proud of it. Obituary Our people of this community awoke, Wednesday morning, to be shocked by the announcement that Hon. Henry T. Eubanks was dead. Tuesday he was taken from an office in the Citizens' building to Huron and being from an acute attack of indigestion from a diner. Mr. Eubanks came to Cleveland, as a headwaiter many years ago, and for years was one of the best in this section of the country, serving in that capacity, at the Weddell House, many years. He was, too, quite an elocutionist. A few years after his arrival in the city, he married Mrs. Della Douglass, a widow (with one child, a son, Augustus), daughter of Mrs. Harmon, both well and most favorably known ladies of this community, and a host of friends here and in many other parts of the country. Mr. Eubanks was twice elected a member Henry T. Eubank of the Ohio Legislature from this county, his most conspicuous and telling piece of legislation being an antimob law which gives the Governor power to remove a Sheriff who fails to protect a prisoner charged with crime. In later years, since and for a period preceding his leaving the Weddell House service, he conducted the trial of a man charged with W. 9th St. Lately he has given much of his time to the promotion of a hotel proposition which seemed to appeal to him very strongly indeed. Henry T. Eubanks was warm-hearted, energetic and most hospitable indeed; an officer and active worker, for years, in St. Andrews P. E, church; a lodge member, and thorough race man. Friends all over this country will mourn his demise, as he had lived in several and visited many of the largest cities of the country, his birthplace, and his 55 years ago. The funeral services will be held, today (Saturday) at 2 p. m. at St. Andrew's church, Central Ave, and E. 24th St. BUCKEYE LETTERS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIA BLE" GAZETTE'S CORRE. SPONDENTS.
