About one-fourth of those who were at
the table were colored men, members of
Court Bourne nemouth, the only subordi-
nate in San Francisco Of an organization
of white men that permits colored men TO
become mem bers OF the order, and the
reason of their presence was to show their
respect for Mr.. McNulsy, who, being
str ong believer in the doctrine that fra
ternlty and charity know no color, took a
bold stand in favor of the colored men
when the proposition to admit them 10
mem bership came UP in the councils of
the order. Since the organization of
Court Bournemouth two more courts,
composed exclusively of colored men,
have beer organized-one in Oakland and
the other in Los Angeles.
