FIRST OF AUGUSTIN LIBERIA.

The twenty-fifth anniversary of British
West India Emancipation was celebrated
with great spirit by the leading citizens of
Monrovia. The ceremonies took place at
the Seminary building, between the hours
of three and six P. M. The principal adj
dresses were delivered by Mr.. John w.
Holm, lately from St. Thomas, W. l., and
Mr. Edward w. Blyden, also native of
that island. Mr. Holm made a neat, bus
iness-like speech, in whi,h he gave state
ment of the actual condition of the West
India Islands at present The statistical
quotations were to the point and proved
conclusively that whatever else may have
brought about the depression in West In
dian affairs in 1947, and two or three years
subsequently, the emancipation was not
the cause. Mr.. Blyden spoke of the in
fuence of that great anti-slavery act upon
the condition of the oppressed Africans in
the United States, and the results of anti
slavery discussions in that country. Mr..
B. spoke for several minutes in a flow of
eloquence, seldom if ever before listened
to in this city. DR.. Martin R. Delany
made brief speech, in which he proved
that that sublime act of Great Britain-the
emancipation of 100000 negroes-was e.
torted from the British crown by black men
that black men, among whom he mentioned
Messrs. Jordan and Osborne, of Jamaica,
were the chief movers in the matter.
Messrs. Turpin and Potter read pieces Of
poetry from Whittier and Vashon suitable
to the occasion. The musical exercises
were excellently performed by the Clay
Ashland choir, led by Mr.. james Moore
The choir was specially invited to attend
and assist on the occasion. All the pro-
ceedings of the afternoon were highly
gratifying.
In the evening splendid entertainment
came off at the Navy Hotel, at which there

OUR PROVIDENCE LETTER.
Providence, R. l., Oct. 6,

PROVIDENCE, H. l., OcC y, 1903
DEAR ANGLo:-In New Bedford from
which place Iwrote you LAST there is much
that is commendable, and some things 9TH
erwise. The people are thrifty, enterpris-
ing, and industrious as class They per-
haps exceed the people of any city or town
in the United States in wealth. Their in
telligence may be reckoned only by the
circumstances under which they were rails
ed, and which brought them there. Most
of them are either fugitives or freemen who
came from slave States to enjoy and OBJ
tain greater freedom than they were al
lowed in the slave States The citizens
generally, both white and colored, are
hospitable, generous-hearted, hberty-lov-
ing people, but, like the people of most
places in the East and North, are always
ready and willing to pour their dollars and
cents into the Shareholders pockets in the
purchase of his so-called property, rather
than aid those who, by the proscriptive
laws of the South, are made the objects of
charity 1t is serious fact that no cause,
however benevolent, meets with the same
consideration or is responded to as heartily
and cheerfully as the object above men
toned; and furthermore, no person, howe
yer learned or eloquent, can meet with the
same attention although colored man or
woman) as runaway slave. l claim that
they are entitled to no more attention and
sympathy when here, free, than those who
are already residents of these States; nor
are the slaves at the South entitled to more,
because the free colored people are the I'M
mediate representatives of the slaves. 1t is
through this, then, they will eventually
become free.
These views may be unpopular, and
doubtless will not crate SO pleasantly on
the feelings of those to whom they refer;
but I do not seek popularity atthe expense
of truth.
In New Bedford, with the colored as
with the whites, there are many aSnaS, and
no union scarcely on any one subject.
This is another lamentable fact, and one
which, I regret tosay, exists in more places
than in New Bedford
forgot to say in my last that | have
been in attendance on a convention of col
ored Baptists, at Newburg, N. Y. 1t was
a. Missionary Convention. They had a
very fine time The First Baptist Church
was rendered to them, and much interest
was manifested by the whites during their
proceedings. Rev. Jeremiah Asher, of
Philadelphia, Corresponding Secretary,
read a report on African Missions, which,
for clearness of diction and thoroughness,
equals any report on paper | have heard
for long time, and stamps him at once as
man of decided ability. I have also at
tended some three or four associations of
whites Baptist in Mass. There was no
difference whatever as regards color. This
is progress. W. W.

Mr.. Jesse E. Glasgow, a very talented
young gentleman of color, a native of Phil
adelphia, who is receiving an education at
the Edinburgh University, in Scotland, has
returned home to spend few weeks. He
will leave again for Scotland in about three
weeks.
Mr.. George Stewart, well known and

one of the first initiated into Good Samari-
tan Lodge after it was opened, and of which
he was a member in good standing at the
time of his death. He leaves wife and
two children, and very large circle of
friends, to mourn his loss. He died with
the full assurance of the Christians hope

r IFE OF REV JERMAIN w LO-
IGUEN. The biography of Rev. Jermain W.
Loguen is already written by an able pen, and
would be at once published but for the pecuniary
responsibilities incident to its publication.
The undersigned, therefore, issue this circular
to the friends of Mr.. Loguen and of the Under
Ground Railroad, of which he has been, and still
is, faithful superintendent. to donate or sub
scribe for the publication. The amount of money
to be raised to insure its publication is 81 500
a sum quite too large for Mr. Loguen to assume
to be CONSTANT with his duties both to the fu-
gitive and to his family. We therefore invite the
friends of Mr. Loguen and of the slave, by way OF
donation or subscription, to make up the sum OF
$1,000.
When $1,000 is thus subscribed, the book will
be Immediately published, and the subscribers will
receive the amount of their subscriptions in books,
if they wish. All over that sum Mr.. Loguen will
himself assume.
There are few men whose history Is so marked
with stirring incidents, instructive lessons, and en-
couraging examples, as Mr. Loguens. 1t contains
the peculiaritv of Mr. Loguen's childhood, his
daring escape from bondage, the perils and hard
ships he endured in his passage to freedom, and
the acts of subsequent manhood, which have hon
orably connected his name with the moral and po-
iticaI causes of the last twenty years. which, to
large extent, have made the subject of African
freedom the living topic of private and public cir
cles, of the press, the pulpit and the State and
National Legislatures.
The book will be about the size of the life of
Frederick Douglass, in one volume, illustrated by
a steeLplate likeness of Mr.. Loguen, and viii be
delivered to subscribers at the price of dollar.

beauty, fashion and intelligence. The Ia

THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD co.

1t has become absolutel y necessary to
examine and overhaul the books and the
management of this company. The whole
road, from its Southern to its Northern ter
minus, is sadly out of order. There must
be a commission to examine and to report
on the condition of the road. Many of the
bridges are supported by rotten timbers,
several switches do not work well, and ma
ny stations need to be entirely cleared out.
Several agents, conductors, and station
masters have grown fat and proud, and be-
have in a very overbearing manner towards
the stockholders and passengers. The
original and time-honored practice of Civ
ing monthly and annual reports of the state
of the road and the funds, is altogether dis
carded by our paid agents, and the right of
the company to know the state of their own
affairs is disregarded and defed. 1t is graf
flying, however, to know that the South
ern portion of the road renders more salts
faction than the Northern portion does
"Outside pressure" and an awfully danger
GUS competition and opposition keep things
straight down "yonder." The depots must
be overhauled; Philadelphia must be glanc-
ed at; sleeps eye must be cast at all the
intermediate stations between the Getty of
Brotherly Love" and Gotham" New York
must have special commission to examine
the books, and repo~t upon the propriety
or Jearirg down tl,0 old I~ratp s..,1 build
ing new ones. The faithful and selfsacri-
fcing stockholders and agents at this part
of the road think that several rats are max
ing sad work in the storehouse At Alba
ny "the stones cry out Of the wall, and the
beams out of the timbers answer them.p
Syracuse acknowledges no particular obi
cations to the company at large. Stock
holders demand and must have full and
complete annual report They require to
know more about the receipts and expen-
ditures. Rochester gives faithful and sat-
isfactory reports. Tha; station has one of
the best P0rterS in the land. We know
nothing about Canada, excepting the loud
complaints of many of the passengers, who
declare they are frequently left without
shelter, although ample provisions have
been made for them by the company. We
warn our managers-'hey must "chalk
up" they must report, or we will with
draw our stock.
