THE COLORED MEMS FEDERATION.
Seeking for Higher Standing Of
Their Race.
r. j. Fletcher of Sacramento is Third
Vice-President of the Ma
tional Body.

A dispatch from Detroit, Mich, states
that few days ago an address to the
country was adopted by the national
colored mems conference in that city,
declaring that the status of the colored
race in the United States bears closer
analogy ito that of &enizens than to
the honorable and iZdefeasible rights
of native born citizenship" and that
in at least three States of the Union
citizenship is farce, which, in de-
fault of absolute protection, should be
exchanged for the panoply of some
more paternal form of government"
The object of the movement is de-
fined to be the assertion of opposition to
every species of injustice perpetrated
upon the race; to render more effective
the moral, educational and social
forces which freemen ought to exer-
else; to form compact national organ
lzat1on; to assume a new attitude
among the citizens of the nation, mot
unduly arrogant, but one which shall
resent the assumption of inferiority"
This, the address declares, sit is neces-
sary to do after a generation of selfish
indifference and unamerican and nom
Christian contempt"
plan of permanent organization
was adopted The name selected is the
National Federation of Colored Men.
Representation shall be by sections
rather than by States, the whole coun-
try to be divided into four sections, in
each of which there shall be one Vice
President and one Secretary, who shall
be charged with organizing their re-
spective districts.
The committee which prepared the
plan of organization recommended
Rev. DR.. ]. NJ. Townsend of Chicago for
President, but upon consideration of
that part of the report D. A Straker of
Detroit was found to have the stronger
following. The discussion over the Sc

told, Is crisp, original and charged with

given entire satisfaction. His company
this season includes Daniel Mason,
Heischel Mcguire, Kate Michelena, T.
H. Walsh, Marie Licester and others.
Mr.. Sullys company remains here three
nights and gives a different perform
ance each evening. In his earlier en-
gagements here Mr.. Sully has always
brought good support He does not su-
bordinate all the people of his troupe

given full scope for development of dra-
matte capacity. This makes the Sully

TIL, directors of the California Jockey
clue have Just decided to continue to race
through the summer, except during two
weeks in September. In arriving at this
decision the directors were actuated by a
very laudable .desire. which President
Williams modestly relates as follows
1--WE desire to give the western horses
a chance to make little money during
the summer. Next October there will be
scores of crack horses in California from
all over the United States, and it will be
just as hard to win a race then as it will
be at Chicago this season. The associa-
ton is making little money at present,
and in view of the coming racetrack war,
think it very expedient to give the Cal
ifornia horseman chance.
Now, who would have given Tom Will
Jams and his confreres credit for all that
kind heartedness?
Messrs White Il Clark have. shipped
their string to San Francisco and from
there east explaining to the San Fran
cisco horsemen that Los Angeles is poor
place to ship horses east from as the rail
roads would make no satisfactory ar
rangements with them.

ever known. He was imported from

specimen of st. Bernard in the world.
Mr.. Sears sold him to Colonel Reick of
New York for $4,000. La err he was pur-
chased by Mr.. Pratt of Argyle kennels for
$4,000, and it was at the latter place, in Lit
tie Rock, Ark. that he died last week of
gastlitis. Sir Bedivere was considered
the champion of champions and outriv-
aled every st. Bernard that was ever
placed against him i'll competition. He
won first honors in every bench show in
Europe and America in which he was
entered. He was 8 years old, stood
twenty four inches in height at the shout

pounds. He was rich orange in color,
with perfect white marking and dense
black shadings. He was gifted in a re-
markable degree with the characteristics
of the St. Bernard and was affeotionate
and gentle. 1t will be long time before
the Kennels of this country find another

Los Angeles if it wasn't Doc" Kennedy?
None!
The Chronicle tells about this new

their glories have melted into thin air be-
fore the radiance OF the new impressario

THE FIGHTERS

The local lovers of boxing are looping
that the Athletic CLUB willspull off some

there is danger of the interest which the
boxers nights had stirred up dying out

Lovers of boxing in San Francisco are

have acquired an inc Q t in the barn

if all goes we'll the first clang of the tim
ing gong under the new management will
be heard in the Coema institution on the
night of May 10th. The men selected to
open the campaign of tisticuffs are Joe
King and Henry Peppers, brace of light
heavy weights. The men named are
capable of putting up busting fight if
their thoughts incline that way, and as
their ability i'll this direction is pretty
we'll known they have it in their power
in measure to make or mar the new ven-
ture at the outset.
