Addresses by E1- congressman Lynch
and DIR. Webb.


and DIR. Webb.
Emancipation Day was observed last
evening at the First Baptist Church, cor
ner of Twenty y-seventh stteetand Dunbar
ton avenue. with an eXCelently rendered
program Of patriotic music and addresses
by ex-Congrcssrnan John X Lynch OF Mis-
sissippi and DR. Frank j. Webb, of Texas,
and the reading of the PROCLAMATION OF
emancipation by Miss Carrie Lewis.
The exercises were under the auspices
OF the Ema ncipa ton Association OF George
town and were conducted by the president,
Joseph L. Turner. The members OF the
Mckinley and Hobart Club were the special
guests or the evening and were seatedin a
body in the front pews.
The first number was an organ recital
by Prof Sandy Alexander. after which
the audience, led by the choir, sang Ny
Country with much spirit and IN splendid
voice. --.r
President Turner in presenting Hon. Mr..
Lynch to the audience referred to him as
the most highly hoporcd man of his race
he having in 1884. been chosen chairman
of the National Republican Convention.
which nominated James 81 Haine for the
Presidency of the United States.
Mr.. Lynchs remarks, for the most part,
were OF the remipisoent order. and re-
lated principally TO his boyhood, in slavery,
In Louisiana and the exciting scenes of
the last days of the war in Mississippi and
his native state.
After telling many interesting and anus
ing incidents of the days OF rec0rstruo-
ton, he advised the people to look seriously
to the future. He reepunted the great
difficulties they had overcome and The
progress they had made. He told them
OF the possibilities to be attained Whlch
were before them, but assured them they
could never be gained without steadfast
perseverance, In speaking OF the taiK ol
the colored people leaving this country he
advised them all to stay, especially the
Colored people of the South. The great
majority of the white people or this
country, he said, were the friends OF the
colored race. This would readily be
seen, he said, when 1t is remembered
that white man signed the emancipation
proclamation, white men introduced TIE
fourteenth, FIFTEENTH and sixteenth amend
ments to the Constitution in Congress, anu
a majority OF the legislatures In The states
which ratified these amendments were COM
posed Of white men.
President Turner presented DR.. Webb 10
the audience as a bright example of what
energy, integrity and intelligence VIII do
forthecolored race. DR.. Webb tenor twelve
years ago, it was stated, was bootblack
in Texas, now a graduate OF two colleges
is an honor and credit to his people.
DR. Webb spoke on American Citizen
ship," and claim ed that tie freedom OF the
colored race was written in the Deciara
tion of Independence, and that its terms
were fulfilled by the sword of Washington
In conclusion he referred TO The ieroisEn
of the colored soldiers both in the war lol
American independence and in the civil
| war.
The emancipation proclamation whicf
! wasread in a clear full voice by MISS sLeWis'
was enthusiastically applanded

AFTER FORTY THOUSAND PLACES
Republican Clubs Delegation Sees
the President.

Repubiican Clubs Delegation Sees
the President.
A delegation representing the League or
Republican Clubs of America held an eX-
tended conference Thursday with President
Mckinley They announced themselves
as sDokesmcn for more than 100000 Re
puhlican voters, embracing the younger
and more active element of the party. who
had largely contributed TO the success
of the national ticket last November.
The delegation asked that something
like 40 900 offices should be restored 10
the status they occupied prior to MI Cleve-
lands last civil service extensions. These
include chiefs of divisions in the various
departments, confidential clerks. many en-
Moves in the different postoffices and Gus
torn-housea throughout the country, those
engaged in the internal revenue service and
all the high officials now exempt from re
moval for political reasons.
The delegation left the presence of Mr..
Mckinley with faces i'll unlined by the smile
of anticipation They claim to have re-
cejved sufficient encouragement TO warrant
the belief that the President will take action
of the character desired in the imnedia te
future. In fact some members of tile
delegation indiscreetly proclaim that
the President had given positive promise
that Mr. Cleveland s orders should be
ahrogated.

switzerland and Austria In the fourteenth
century, sacrificed his own life to break
the Austrian lines, that his own people
might gain victory.

Centuries ago, people used to
fear what they called the pes
thence. ''Black Death was the
most terrible thing in the world
to them. They feared it as peo-
pie now fear the cholera and
yellow fever. And yet there is a
thing that causes more misery
and more deaths than any Of
these. 1t is SO common that nine
tenths of all the sickness in the
world is traceable to it. 1t is
merely that simple, common
thing constipation. 1t makes peo-
pie listless,' causes dizziness,

of sleep, foul breath and distress
