Dear Sir:-If it will not inoonven-
ienee you, wish by your permission
to say . few words to the public
through the columns of the peoples

it must be transmitted to posterity. In
it the administration OF justice Is dis
cussed, the right Of the prisoner is ad-
vocated, the wrongs done . poor, de-
fenseless people pointed out, aud usur-
patton, and incompatibility portrayed.
THE SAME UsURPATIoE.
In purchasing the Westham Farm
the Old Folks Home) Rev. Browne
displsyed the same usurpation ss when
he started the Grand Fountain, United
Order OF True Rsformers, the peopla
OF the north and south labored under
the impression that the organization
they were giving their hard earnings
to build up-making it what it is to-
day, was theirs; not knowing that it
would be owned by one individual and
they had to buy it for Fifty Thousand
dollars, after 10 years OF hard strug-
Cling.
THE IMPRESSION OF THE PEOPLE.
Again. the impression under which
they labored was: that the Grand
Fountain, United Order OF True Re-
formers, would be the peoples orSani-
zation-"of the people. by the people,
and for the people," Not thinking or
knowing that one man had any more
right than the other to sell IL. But
that wrong having been successfully
accomplished, we are now confronted
by another OF equal Importance. The
solicitations as well as the lectures of
Rev Browne taught the people that
their personal contributions with those
from the Fountains would build or buv
place to be called the Old Folks'
Home. where the aged and disabled OF
the colored race could spend their last
days: therefore being created by mon
ey given from the pockets OF the peo-
pie, must be enjoyed and owned by
the people. while management and
control being under the direction OF
the Grand Fountain, United Order OF
True Reformers. But the public is in
formed by the PLANET. that brilliant
magnanimous sheet, ESQ characteristics
OF its editor, that the property WEST
ham Farm is b sught and recorded "a
the individual property of William w.
Browne and M. A. Browne (his wife)
in the court of Henrico County, Va.
HOW CAN 1T BE2
How can this be, Mr.. Editor3 Where
is the money contributed by the people
and received by Rev. Browne for the
Old Folks Homer
Was the sum OF money collected
from the Fountains and the people in
sufficient to make the first payment on
Westham Farm that he gave his per-
senal check SO as to have the said
property recorded in his and his wife's
manner
To what extent will Rev. Browne
carry his audacity, his bolduess and
usurpation of authority? Rev. Browne
received 1000 for the so-called copy
right and my plans" Of the Grand
fountain to which he had no legal or
moral right. How much will ne want
for the Westham Farm2 notwithstand-
ing more than $1,000 is contributed by
the people?

Mr.. Oabells Address-A Large Crowd

Last week ushered the colored Y. M.

intoits eighth year of existence, and on
last SUNDAY REV. Lewis of the 2nd
Baptist Church delivered the annual
address to what was estimated to be 8
larger gathering than has been the case
heretofore on this significant occasion.
The lower floor WAS filled to the doors
with curious audience whose atten-
ton was strictly given up to the exer-
cises during its course, and some of
whom no doubt had ever before stud
led the work, or gave consideration to
the results and good accomplished by
this association.
To make deeper impression upon the
audience and TO put palmer in evidence
the results OF their work, Rev. Burreil
had upon the rostrun the boy who
was taken trom the police coart some
time ago and sent TO this association,
who secured TOR him o good home.
At 4 80, the president, Mr. Reuben
Hill, arose and announced that the an
nual address would be delivered by one
who needs no Introduction TO that con-
gregation, and with this he introduced
