A fair sized audience greeted Miss
leila Davis Monday evening at st.
Paul's A. NJ. e. church 20 listen to her
lecture on Disadvantage Of Youth. .
She is one of Des Moines most estim-
abe young ladies, well educated and
refined. The theme pursued by the
speaker dealt largely with the fact that
in youth many Of the more essential
qualification that go to make up a sue
cessful life are disregarded; that the
greatest good can only be obtained
through methods planned and fully
executed. The address was fttingly
closed by the quotation of the 18th
chapter of ecclesiastes: Remember
now thy Creator in the days of thy
youth, while the evil days come not,
nor the years draw nigh, when thou
shall say, have no pleasure in them .
The speaker was introduced by Miss
Bessie Stewart, who, it will be re-
Remembered, delivered lecture on
Social Purity sometime ago.

Clark, of St Paul's A. NJ E. church.
The edifce was crowded to its utmost

The choir rendered several beautiful
selections, prayer was offered by Rev.
w. A. Searcy, who also read from the

Stewart, Z. c., gave a short address,
combining himself largely to the found
ing, growth and prosperity of Masonry
while Rev. Z. A. Clark delivered a short
sermon, taking as his text verse of
the 31st psalm. Among other things
he spoke of morality. virtue, brotherly-
love and truth. also of the fact that
King David could not build the temple
because his hands had been dipped in
human blood, and hence his son
Solomon had to build it. So it is with
Masonry the best deeds must be per-
formed by those who take as their
guiding star, truth, love and virtue.

MASH MEETING.

Last week bills were scattered about
the city announcing mass meeting to
be held in the court house last Friday
evening by the Negro citizens of Des
Moines. The names signed to the call
We're in several instances unauthorized
The primary object of the meeting was
tor organization and unifcation. There
was considerable delay caused by the
hardness of NJ. n. Bell. 1t was nearly
. o'clock when S. l.. Mash took the
floor and delivered quite lengthy adj
dress. Mr. Mash was raised in this
city and is well known. He said many
good things about being organized and
understanding each other better. He laid
considerable stress upon his own in
dividual work, and reiterated the sta te-
ment that he was a friend of the Negro
race at all times and at all hazards.
Why he should make this statement so
frequently is not clear. Was there
ever at any time doubt as to his 10y
atty to the Negro race? But no man acts
without motive. While the primary
object was organization, unity and the
enlargement of the rights of the
Negroes of this community, the real
object was to decapitate some imagin-
airy .'self-styled leaders and give the
leadership to Mr.. Mash. He has re-
nounced none of his Democratic
proclivities, although his occupation as
a Democratic politician is gone in this
state Messrs. Bell, Cleggett, Railey,
T. s. Ruff made a few remarks. all
agreeing with the primary object of
the meeting. There were about twenty
five-spectators and all-present, who
remained to hear the speaking, after
which nearly all departed for their
home.
A reporter for Democratic paper
was there as per appointment. Com
mitteemen in a few wards were APP
pointed to organize the same and report
at some time in the dim distant future
to the official head Of the organization.
Not enough remained to select an
organizer for all the wards. George
Taylor was made chairman and Sam
Mash secretary.
