AMERICAN PLUCK.
1t Was shown At Its Best After the fire
Of 1895.

"The fearful loss did not crush spir-
its, however, and committees were inn
mediately appointed to look after the
interest Of the citizens" says the Ship
ping and Commercial List of April 13,
recalling the fire which cost New York
twenty-five million dollars in 1885. "0ne
committee was to make application to
congress for an extension Of credit on
duty bonds and for remission Of du-
ties; anotherto make application to the
city and state governments; and an
other on relief to those injured, and
several Others for other purposes. The
business men were not cast down.
Many had lost all they possessed, but
were ready to begin again. Within a
year q multitude of warehouses and
shops had been erected and the hum of
industry was to be noted everywhere.
Real estate was high. Many lots when
sold bronghtmore money without build
ings that they could have been sold for
before the fire with buildings. The
euormousrentsde demanded for dry goods

chants to leave that thoveughfare and

For many long and dreary years,
Amid the cruel fight;
The PLANET, a Negro journal,
Has battled for the right;
fearless, undaunted has it stood,
With mighty weapon strong;
All ready to lay down its light
Rather than suffer wrong.
It's editor, a noble man,
With courage we are told
Has led the way for smaller men,
Just like a warrior bold,
He sees in distant future.
Hope for his sable race;
He sees the star of promise
, The happy day Of grace.
And so, his name viii linger long,
Upon the lips of men;
And ali the splendid truth he tells
VIII 1--we also. and then
All the wisdom Of his grand acts,
Will shine with golden light,
When his battle will have ended
His battle for the right.

SIDNEY WOODWARD
A Synopsis OF His Career-The Fifth
st. Church Entertainment

The inclement weather on Monday
night caused post ponement of the
Sidney Woodward concert until Thurs
day night, Jan. 3lst. BY request he
sang a beautiful solo entitled: "He
tied her bonnet under her chin" The
audience. though exceptionally small
showed the greatest appreciation for
his courteous efforts.
The PLANET man was on hand and
was introduced to Mr.. Woodward by
his friend Mr.. James. Mr.. Woodward
is % years of age, a native of Georgia,
of dark complexion, very courteous
and graceful He has been a resident
of Boston between four and five years
and has spent about three years in a
Conservatory of Music of that city.
He is a close student and is at present
taking lessons from one of the .llS.st
prominent teachers in Boston.
He feels very proud of his position in
the Choir of the Congregational Church
(white) of Boston and is certainly in
our judgment worthy of all the popu-
larity he has thus far won in the mus
ical world. His entertainment at the
9th Street Baptist Church, Wednesday,
Jan. 30th was witnessed by an appre-
ciative audience.
The programme commenced with a
piano solo by Nine. Lena Jackson, fol-
lowed by solos from Mime. Fannie p
Walker and Mr.. Conway b. Ried. Al
this point Mr. Woodward was pro-
grammed for a solo entitled "Fleetine
DAYS" for which he substituted, the
} Spanish song " Due Foscari." In this
! he was encOred vOciferously to which
7 he responded with " He Tied Her Bon

THE Ex-eRAND MASTER RESPONDS.
Almost overcome by emotion, Past
Grand Master Forester returned his
heartfelt thanks for the honor con-
ferred upon him. If he had erred it
had been done while trying to carry
out the law that had been handed TO
him. He came back to his home with
character as clear as when ne took
charge of the helm.
He commented upon the criticisms
which had been made upon him by
those at home and abroad, but he hand
ed over the Office with an organization
second to none in this country. He re-
turned the same w. M. 7. Forester as
he was when he went away in 1880.
Said he: How Will find words to
thank yon. 1t shall be my only
and constant hope that shall conduct
myself as TO never prove myself unwor-
thy of this testimonial" The tribute
would be the last that would fade from
his memory. He concluded with the
following words: "Am- NJ. T. FORESTER
is what you made him. To you and
God, and it is TO God that the victory
belongs and not salt. "

GAINESVILLE, O., May 29.-The Repub-
lican State convention was as tame to-
day as it was lively yesterday.
Foraker was distinctly in it. He sat
on the platform, but was always in
communication with those on the floor.
The Bushnell slate made a clean sweep
of the old regime. While there are
many disappointed candidates, yet the
most material things are the condi-
tons that confront Mckinley.
The Foraker Bushnell combination
will select the delegates to the next Re-
publican National convention. For
aker and Bushnell will be two of the
delegates at large and will name the
other two. OF course the machine in
such strong hands will also control the
selection of district delegates and there
are some who think that Foraker may
come out in 1896 as Garfield did in
1880. which would mean that Mckinley
would come out as Sherman did at
that time and in succeeding years.
If the Republicans carry the State,
Bushnell becomes Governor and For
aker Senator, and there is no telling
what will happen in 1896 and there
after. Bushnell will probably succeed
Sherman in the Senate as Foraker will
succeed Brice and the Old school Of
Republicans would all be retired.
There never was a State convention in
Ohio that involved so many radical
changes for the future as the one just
closed. with the Foraker Bushnell men
in the saddles. for further conquest.
The folloying is the ticket complete:
Governor-Asa S. Bushnell, Spring
field.
