APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT
Colored Residents of Washington on Race
War at the South"
The Question Debated by Representa-

AdoPted-Comm Appointed.

The Lyceum of the Second Baptist Church
held a session Tuesday evening last, the oc-
casion being the fiftieth anniversary of the
church. THE Race War at the South: Its
Effects upon the Nation" was discussed by
DIR. J. n. johnson, S. NJ. Lewis H. A Clark
and others, and Prof. Jesse Lawson, r. W.
Thompson. ]. T. c. Newsom. A. F. Hilyer
II. A. Clark c. L. Marshall and Thomas
Ware were appointed committee to pre-
sent the matter to the President.
Prof. Jesse Lawson, president of the ly
ceum, in opening the meeting, said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: We assemble here
tonight TO celebrate the fiftieth anniversary
of the Second Baptist Church and to in
cidentally discuss a question in which every
loyal citizen, whether black or white. should
be deeply interested, for all will be affected
by its final outcome In n government like
ours it is supposed that the people select
those who are placed in authority over them
and that all questions of governmental pol
icy are submitted TO the arbitrament Of the
ballot. When that course is pursued We
have a government by the people guar
anteed by the federal Constitution. Such a
government every black man in the United
States is ready to uphold and to give his
life blood for its perpetuity. Through all
the long years of suffering and persecution
no colored man has ever raised his hand
against the government, nor assaulted the
flag whose symbol is freedom for all and
it floats.
There are no anarchists among the col
ored people, and we thank God for it. There
is record where any colored man has
attempted to prevent any man from cast
ing his ballot according to the dictates OF
his own conscience and to have that ballot
returned as cast. We conccde to Others
what We maintain for ourselves. and in So
doing observe the golden rule. All that
we ask is fair play. Shall we have 1t?
have too much faith in the wisdom and JUS
tice of the American people to believe that
they will deny to us this simple boon OF cit
iZenship.
Declared to BE Farce.
1.-The farce that is about to be enacted in
the state of North Carolina will return to
plague the instigatCrs of it. They are now
sowing to the wind, and in Gods own time
they will reap the whirlwind. Let us ask
our people to commit no acts of violence
and to do nothing that will incite others to
violence, and yet prove themselves worthy
of American citizenship by defending every
right guaranteed by the Constitution and
the law of the land
Resolutions were adopted setting forth
that the tendency to lawleSsneSs in certain
portions of our country is calculated to tar
nish the good name of the United States
among the civilized nations of the world
and to bring republican form of government

Bernard Riley is the name of a wan
dering gentleman who owes his life to
the kind treatment given him by the
men working at the top of No. : slope,
Upper Lehigh. Last Wednesday morn
ing he passed the wash-shanty at the
slope, headed for Freeland. and burdened
with an unusually large load for a
man to carry at that time of day. An
hour later he was found some distance
from the shanty. He was brought back
and Notwithstanding all the efforts made
to revive him he continued in an uncon-
scious state for thrty-two hours.
The employees did what they could for
the unfortunate, finally calling Dr.
Cloud to their aid, who brought him
back to his senses. Later he was
visited by DR.. Neale, and the man was
made as comfortable as the equipment
of wash-shanty would permit. One of
his hands is badly frozen and several
other parts of his person have been
nipped by Jack Frost.
Riley says his home is nowhere, and
he keenly realizes his sad plight. After
learning how serious was his condition,
he became very anxious to be removed
to an hospital, and on Saturday he was
sent to the Hazleton institution.

OPENING OF THE FAIR.

The annual fair held under the aus
pces OF the Young Mems C. Il. A. b.
Corps opened on Saturday evening on
the third floor Of the Grand opera house
building. The opening night was fairly
successful, q"ite large number of peo-
pie attending and apparently enjoying
their visit
Both of the large rooms on the third
floor are occupied by the fair and many
handsome and useful articles are dis
played. Among them are modern,
high class range, a bedroom suite, sew
eral rockers and easy chairs, paintings,
fine works of art, silverware, household
ornaments. etc.
A number of selections will be played
nightly by st. Patrick's band.
The proceeds Of the annual fairs are
applied towards cancelling the debt in
Cured by the Young Mems Corps in
erecting and equipping the opera house
building, and with such an object in
view it deserves the hearty support of
all the people who take pride in the
town.
Few places the size of Freeland have
as fine an opera house as this, and as
the cost OF its construction and fitting
up has been great those who took that
risk ought to be aided as largely az
possible in return for their efforts to ad-
vance the town.
The Corps, in spite of conditions of
the past few years, reduced its indebted
ness considerable. There is yet, how
ever, quite sum owed, but with the
continued help OF the public all the
claims against the building will be
lfquidated in a short while.
The fair will be open on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday evenings.

Patronize Local Merchants.

From now on the holiday business in
Freeland will be brisk. Show windows
have been decorated and the stores of
the local merchants present a bower of
beauty. There is no necessity of going
out of town to make your purchases.
The local merchants, especially those
whose announcements appear in these
columns, deserve their full share of
public patronage. Besides, gifts bought
of home dealers have a double value, in
that they make friends happy and the
money expended here goes into circula-
ton and may make many of your neigh
bors happy.
Our local merchants always endeavor
and generally succeed in buying the
best in the market, and the prices de-
minded are as low as in the cities. Scan
the advertising columns OF the TRIBUNE
before starting out on your shopping
tour, and you will save both time and
money.
