"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" The Pioneer ESTABISHED 1882. A GREAT PAGEANT WAS PRESENTED TO THE PEOPLE OF WASHINGTON, D. C., In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution there was held in Washington Monday, Wednesday and Friday of this week a pageant by the colored people, called "The Star of Ethiopia." It was held at American League Base Ball Park. The fund with which this pageant was given was furnished by Mrs. Quincy Shaw of Boston and the Misses, Lewissohn of New York and others. To this general fund colored citizens of Washington, including Judge R. H. Terrell, Dr. C. W. Childs, A. F. Hilyer, Henry E. Baker and about one hundred and fifty others, asked a guarantee fund of $1,000. The text of the pageant was written by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis Magazine of New York. It was first given in New York in 1913 before an audience aggregating 14,000 people. The pageant portrayed the history of the Negro race and was divided into five scenes. The first scene referred to prehistoric times and showed the discovery of welding iron by the primitive black savages. The second scene portrayed the relations between mulatto Egypt and black Africa. The third portrayed the culmination of the African civilization in the years between 200 A. D., and 1500 A. D., reminding of the culture under Candace, the kingdoms of the Sudan, the Empire of Monomotapa and the industrial culture of Guinea. Then came the "Valley of Humiliation" or slave trade, ending with several war scenes in which the colored District militia took part. The final scene showed the triumph of the Negro over the ghosts of slavery, ending in the building of the tower of light. The music and dancing accompanying this pageant were of special interest. The dancing was led by Mrs. Dora Cole Norman, who is the sister of the late "Bob Cole," best known to the public as one of the authors of "Under the Bamboo Tree." There were musical selections, illustrating the development of Negro music from the African tom-tom to the modern music of Coleridge-Taylor. This music was rendered by a chorus of 200 voices. Great interest was aroused in this pageant throughout the District. The board of education gave it its sanction, and allowed the use of school buildings for rehearsals. One half of the proceeds went to the playgrounds of the colored public schools. The board of education regarded the pageant as a matter of education and distinct means of social uplift. Besides, many prominent persons in the District consented to act as patrons. These included the Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Lane, Senator and Mrs. Robert M. La Follette, Percy S. Foster, Miss Caroline M. Hunt, Assistant Secretary and Mrs. Louis F. Post, Postmaster M. O. Chance, Miss Julia Lathrop, Miss Ethel Smith, Henry P. Blair, Earnest H. Daniel, W. T. Galliher, John D. Larner, Mrs. Edith Kingman Kern, Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, Dr. Creed W. Childs, Fountain Peyton, Dr. Earnest L. Thurston, Dr. S. M. Newman, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, Judge J. Wilmer Latimer, H. B. F. Mcfarland, Thomas Ewing, Mrs. Frances G. Davenport, Rabbi Abram Simon; Mrs. John A. Logan; Mrs. John B. Henderson; Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford; H. Martin Williams; Judge F. L. Siddons and Judge Thomas Anderson. American League Park was specially lighted. A brilliant electric display was used to bring out the costumed actors. The costumss were specially made and for the most part according to historical models. More than 700 costumes were made besides the costumes of the soldiers. This spectacle was designed to be not simply for the colored people, but for the city of Washington, regardless of race. A number of prominent people outside of the patrons have expressed their purpose to witness the pageant. The price was made low to meet the abilities of the working people, so that it was really a great popular festival. Many of the properties used,such as weapons, shields, headgear, etc.,were made by the manual training department of the public schools. It is hoped that this pageant movement will spread among the colored schools throughout the land. Already the African M. E. Church has asked for a reproduction to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the general conference which takes place next March in Philadelphia. COLORED FIRM TO BUILD AUTOS. If you chance to see a new model automobile with many distinctive features, pleasing in general makeup and noted for its "easy riding" qualities and upon closer investigation find that it is a "Patterson-Greenfield please remember that it is a car built from the ground up by the C. R. Patterson and Sons' firm of Greenfield, Ohio, a colored firm of buggy makers, known all over the United States. AT THE PANAMA-PACIFIC An auto party from Texas came into the Exposition Grounds and left their car behind one of the buildings with their two children and a dog at 2 P.M. About 9 P. M. a dog appeared at one of the fire-houses, and drew attention by barking. Upon being followed he led his new friends to the car where the hungry children were crying from lack of food and cold. The police took up the case and finally located the parents in the pleasure zone. The paper giving the account said, "As some people had so little sense it was a good thing some dogs had so much." A NOBLE SOUL. STONEWALL JACKSON, INSPECTOR OF FEDERAL HOSPITALS. It was in the spring of 1862, when Stonewall Jackson, marching down the Shenandoah valley, had won a brilliant victory over General Banks whom he drove north until the friendly Potomac interposed its screen, and he found safety and care for his sick and wounded in the hospitals of Frederick. A new nurse had been assigned to one of the hospitals the day before the battle-a Massachusetts woman named Charlotte McKay, widowed and made childless within a single year. The patients she had under her care were mostly Federals, of course, but there was a good sprinkling of wounded Confederates who were pri-oners of war. One day, just after dinner time, the chief surgeon entered Mrs. McKay's ward accompanied by a stranger. The man had the appearance of a student. His head was bent and his brows were drawn together, with two deep lines between them, as if he had spent long, thoughtful hours at his desk; and his eyes, the color of blue steel, swept the ward with a keen glance that seemed to take in everything. His grizzled beard showed that he was no longer young, but his step and bearing were elastic and vigorous. "Doctor Janeway is from Louisiana," explained the chief, as he introduced the stranger. He had to abandon a large sugar plantation there when the war broke out, because of his loyalty. He was a surgeon in the Crimean War, and so is interested in seeing how we do things here." The stranger chatted genially with the nurses and the surgeon, discussed their operating facilities, compared them with those of the Crimea, questioned them about the rations of the prisoners, and accepted a steaming cup of hot soup from the nurse. The prisoners were watching and listening to all that passed, in strong contrast to the sullen indifference they had shown before. One young Virginian, tall and muscular, looked as if he were about to spring from his cot. "That boy looks like he came from near my place," observed the Southern Unionist. "May I speak to him?" "Yes, doctor; you may talk to any of them." With a curiously quick and noiseless step the visitor reached the bed, and conversed for a moment in tones that were inaudible to all but the young soldier. He returned in a moment. "I was mistaken; a chance resemblance deceived me. 'The man says he is 'hankering for a drink,' nurse. I told him I would ask you for it.'" The wounded man drank the water, stretched out on his side, and appeared to sleep, while the two surgeons went on to another ward, and presently left the building. Mounting his horse, Doctor Jane- Press. way bade a cordial good-by to the chief, bowed with deep respect to the two women, and rode slowly out of the hospital grounds. The prisoners were in better spirits the next morning. A laugh passed from time to time. It was almost as if some excellent joke unknown to their attendants had raised their courage. "Did you know the gentleman who was here yesterday?" Mrs. McKay asked the boy soldier. The lad grinned up at her and replied: "Yes, ma'am." "It was Stonewall Jackson, ma'am." The nurse stared; then she said: "You're making fun of me, Pryor. General Jackson here in the midst of our armies!" "It wouldn't be the first time," retorted the boy, nettled by her unbelief. "More than once when he hadn't just the scout he wanted at hand, he has gone on his own errands." "But what if he should be recognized!" "Who's to recognize him? None of your folks, for those who would know him are fighting, not nursing the sick. And none of ours, for they wouldn't tell if they saw him. Reason he spoke to me, yesterday, was 'cause I was showing too much interest. I'm one of his 'foot cavalry,' ma'am. He wanted to know just how we was bein' treated, and so he came to see.'" "We try to do the best we can for you, Prvor." "Yes, ma'am. I told him so. We've been treated a heap better than we expected to be. But it's tough to be a prisoner, you know. And that was Stonewall Jackson." A CAT OR A FATHER In his "Life of Thomas B. Reed," Mr. Samuel W. McCall tells this story about the former Speaker, who was an unusually large man. When his daughter Katherine, or "Kitty," as he called her, was a little girl, she had a cat to which she was much devoted. One day the kitten was sleeping in Reed's chair when he was about to sit down. His daughter, in horror, gave the chair a sudden pull to save the cat from annihilation, and as a result Mr. Reed sat down heavily on the floor. It was a rather serious happening for a man of his size, and even a lesser man might easily have lost his temper. But the only notice he took of the matter was to say gravely, after he had got on his feet, "Kitty, remember that it is easier to get another cat than another father." Crimes of the battlefield disgrace no nation as do those deliberate deces of brutality which, known as lynchings, occur with such frequency in the United States. Here, with apparent impunity, we can hang suspects to the nearest tree and make their living bodies targets for our guns, burn them at the stake, when necessary break into jails and prisons to get our victims. The shame of these barbarous deeds in one State is a shame that falls on us all. Our Dumb Animals DEVOTION. CENTRAL AMERICANS LAUD THEIR NEGROES. We would be ungrateful and to be blamed if, after the war, we don't surround our black soldiers with a fraternal recognition. Those who don't know them, believe, at times, even if they admire their bravery and their dignity as soldiers, that their roughness and their savage simplicity makes them interior men. They made a great mistake. Besides their military virtue, they possess others in the same degree of perfection. They are good, faithful, their intelligence is marvelous, quick, elevating. Their hearts are sensible to all feelings, with the capacity of the finest delicacy. Nearly all of them show a coolness and incomparable greatness of soul! Has it not been demonstrated by the gratitude and fondness with which their chief distinguish them? You must question all of those chiefs, those of highest position, those of great experimental abilities of men as Levantey, Gorand, Marchland, Baratier, who had dealt with the Negroes. When they speak of them, they speak with great vehemence and emotion; the black soldiers never fail in the entire and complete confidence reposed in them by those officers, they are truly superior. Well, they constitute an elite that has already achieved wonders and that in the great war of nations they are realizing them in higher and more wonderful scale.—Central American Express, Bocas del Toro, Panama. FRANCE TO USE 700,000 COL ORED WARRIORS. Paris, — Deputy Pierre Masse has prepared for introduction in the chamber a bill providing that natives of French colonies may protectorates be recruited for service in the army. It is estimated that this step would add 700,000 men to the forces in the field by next spring. The excellent service given by the large number of natives now at the front has resulted in the proposal that they be used on a larger larger scale. Learling French statesmen have had under consideration for some time the vast recruiting held which lies open to France in the colonies, especially in China and Equatorial Africa. The main features of the bill which M. Masse will present to parliament when it reassembles were proposed by Gen. Mangan, who has a distinguished record of service in Morocco and the Soudan. If the plan is adopted the new army of colonials will be composed largely of Colored Troops. The Farmers National Congress has adopted resolutions favoring woman suffrage and endorsing the Keating bill already introduced in the national Congress providing for the establishment of a farm woman's bureau in the department of Agriculture. Resolutions opposing the sale of war munitions to foreign countries and against "the loaning of money by citizens of America to warring nations of Europe for the purpose of continuing the slaughter of human beings" were voted down by large majorities. Tristebute Chorale and Duo Triumphal Chorus and Procession from Aida - 2d page. Chestnuts are said to be plentiful and parties are wending their way to the woods to find them daily. The weather this week has been very beautiful, a fact highly pleasing to all who appreciate nature at her best. Mr. Richard Murphy went to Cherry Run on Thursday to fish, and some folks told us they saw him lugging a large string of bass home that evening. Rev. J. Henry Reed, the energetic pastor who edits that lively sheet, the Colored Churchman, of Luray, Virginia, was a visitor to our city for a day or two this week. It was heralded around here that there was a scarcity of apples in Berkeley County, but from the way wagons loaded with apples are rolling over the road daily, it looks just to the reverse to us. The funeral of the late Mr. Howard Blakey was held from Ebenezer Memorial Baptist Church on Monday afternoon, and was attended by a large number of friends of the deceased gentleman. The clergymen officiating at the funeral were Revs. Reed, Carter and Law. It's a take-down, convenient to carry and clean. The tool steel working parts cannot wear out.

Some That Are Guarded and Saluted by British Troops. In India a British guard of honor presents arms to a stone tiger every day. The tiger is regarded by the natives as a god who drives away all danger and calamity, and once some soldiers, in a spirit of mischief, overthrew the image from its resting place and sent it rolling into the valley below. So shocked and scandalized were the natives that a revolt seemed imminent, and Lord Combermere quieted the outraged natives by restoring the image to its pedestal and ordering the regiment to salute it in full view of all. Since that time a British troop has kept watch over the tiger idol day by day. Another Indian idol which is watched over by the British is the god whose name is Kiak Kiak, equivalent to "Lord of Lords," which is supposed to be asleep for 6,000 years and whose awakening will be the end of all things. Hence the natives of the city of Pegu, in Burma, are terribly afraid that some one will arouse the god, so the British government, to avert trouble, stationed a sentry there to prevent this catastrophe. Once a year a strange custom is observed in Calro. A piece of carpet on which, according to tradition, Mahomet once sat and which is the most famous sacred relic of Islam, is carried through the streets, and the khedlive and his troops all receive it in review order and salute it as they pass. The relic is guarded most carefully at ordinary times, and the officer in charge of it each morning must salute it with his sword raised, while the bugler blows three blasts before it. —Exchange. A curious way in which a fire in the heart of a coal pile keeps itself from being put out is noted in a mining journal. Such fires often start in the interior of large piles of coal owing to heat developed by slow oxidation, which is prevented by the size of the pile from escaping into the air. Such fires are difficult to put out owing to the fact that the burning mass turns the coal around it into coke, which is nearly impervious to water. The pile may thus be thoroughly drenched without putting out the fire, which it never really reaches. The only way to deal with the situation is to drive into the pile a sharpened iron pipe long enough to reach the burning coal and then to couple a hose to the upper end and turn on the water.
