RACE ECHOES.

Southern Watchman: The
southern California Afro Ameri
can is far ahead of the colored
man north of the Tehachapi
mountains as far as his CONNER
cial and business status are con-
cerned. Celored men are repre-
sented in all of the professions, as
lawyers, doctors and dentists, and
in all kinds Of mercantile business.
They are running grocery stores,
furniture stores, restaurants, coal
and wood yards, laundries, pawn
brokers, teamsters, and working
at different trades, such as car
pentry, brickmasonry, blacksmith
ing and the like. 1t is indeed
gratifying to anyone who has any
race pride and desires to see and
encourage race enterprises and
race progress TO visit southern
California and see what progress
the Afro American is making. He
is educating his children, estah
fishing business enterprises, build
ing happy homes for himself and
family, establishing churches and
wofshiping God in church ediGces
that will compare with any estab-
lished by the favored race, buying
land and erecting buildings thereon
for himself aud his posterity, and
by his manner and conduct com
mands the respect of all with
whom he comes in contact. Their
fraternal societies are superior to
many of the white lodges and
societies in that section of the
state and reflects great credit on
the race.

years, came III hot and perspiring after
his tussle with the minions of the law
at the entrance. At II so one of the
Bland bands entered the south entrance
playing "Dixie.' This caused the first
burst of enthusiasm and the air was
greeted with whirl of cheers. When
the air was shifted to Columbia
the hurrahs were renewed The pit
was solidly filed but it was generally
remarked that gold delegates were ex-
tremely slow in arriving. 1t was just
noon when the first Empire State dele
gates took seats in the persons Of
Frederick Coudert and ex-Mayor Grant

Republicans and Populist leaders who
were in places of advantage to watch
the course of proceedings, was Jerry

added color to the brilliancy Of the ami

from the speakers platform. An enthu.

~ o'clock Mr.. Whitney and Mr.. Hill
walked up the center aisle followed by

their places in silence. Governor Rus

minutes, while the ushers swept the
aisles clear of the knots of comforting
delegates.
When comparative quiet obtained.
Rev. Mr.. Stires, chaplain of the con.
vention. was called upon to invoke the
Divine blessing. The chaplain was q
young man, hardly 30 years old, with a
smooth. .shaven, clear cut face and wear
ing the black clerical coat, buttoned to
the chin. He held in his hand a roll of
typewriter manuscript which, after a
moment, he laid on the desk and picked
MP slip by slip, reading from it the
prayer. as he could do without exciting
comment as a representative Of the
Episcopalian church.
They Cheered Hill.
As the convention seated itself, Chair.
man Harrity stepped forward and with
a sharp stroke of the gavel, announced
in ringing tones the selection Of David
B Hill for temporary chairman. This
announcement was what the gold mer
were waiting for, and with shout they
leaped to their feet and with waving
arms they shouted out their approval
Among the spectators also there was &
cheer Of appreciation. Some enthusiastic
delegate yelled three cheers for Davit
B. Hill," and they were given with 6
will.
Senator Sheerin of Indiana, for secre
tary. and John Martin for sergeant-a at
arms, were also announced when thu
convention had quieted down.

he did not know of the storm that wa
to follow.

At the Fraternity.

At O'Clock yesterday afternoon about
70 gathered at the F Maternity house, rs
Spring street for conference on matters
concerning the practical administration
of the philanthropies of the present dny.
After Mrs. franklin G. Paysons charm
ing rendering of several songs. Mrs. Jor-
dan read paper on ga More Even Dis
tribution," which was followed by a half
hours discussion III which Mr.. Bellows,
DR.. Bowers, and Mr.. Perkins took part.
The purport of the paper was to induce
individuals to take more real or per-
sonal interest in those of the less. favored
GLASSES. and indirectly bespeak a bit of
help from the listeners In the social
work for which this particular intitution
stands.
Under the title of "a More Even Dis
tribution," Mrs. Jordan did not refer go
much to giving food to the hungry and
clothes to the needy, as to a more cheer
full bestowal of the. social privileges to
which many of us have such easy access.
Statistics were Cited dealing with our
own city, and references we're made to
the views of the advanced workers of
the day in this special field. Mrs. Jor-
dan has had real practical experience
in this connection and with her earnest,
conscientious work does not represent
alone the theoretical point of view.
After the conference an informal meet
ing of friends interested in Fraternity
ma tiers was held to consult about plans
for the coming winter.

The Schooner Mary Dow Floated.

The Schooner Mary Dow Floated.
The big four-masted schooner Mary
e. H. g. Dow, which has been lying
where she struck, on Two Boat ledge.
for the past two weeks, was got off
Wednesday morning, and towed to Rock
land. She was relieved of about half
her cargo of GOAL and Its place was sup
piled by empty kssosepe barrels Of which
several hundred were used. Thus
lightsned, three big tugs were able to
pull her off, and she foated at about her
natural water line. The great vessel,
stripped Of her running rigging, attended
by .he tugs, one of which is one of the
largest efloat, of about 500 tons, and
steam lighter Panuco, made an imposing
apre iranue, ana large crowds visited the
whit RI to watch the newly arrived feet
Tie remainder of the cargo of coal will
be taken cut. and either sold or re-
shipped to the Aroostook Railroad
Company at Bangor, to whom it was
consigned. The vessel will be patched
up little more, and then taken to Bath,
her home port, to be repaired. The
value of the schooner ia about $50, 900,
and it will probably cost half that to
Get her home.
