E EMANCIPATION
From Petty and Race Jeal-
ousies They Desire.

The Massachusetts Progressive Asso-
citation. made up of Worcester's repre-
sentative colored people, celebrated its
first anniversary by a banquet in the
Creamerie Hall last evening. 1t was q
social function from start to finish, and
the speakers of the evening never tired
for minute in their punted utteran-
ces to the guests.
Nearly a hundred couples graced the
banquet hall, attirad in full evening
dress. The scene was one, in truth,
that would have given Booker Wash
ington an equal pleasure with the day
when he received mis- degree at Har-
ward, had he enjoyed the good for
tune to be present. The long line of
carriages on the outside added all that
could be desired in way of society pol
ish, and ended the evenings pleasure
in a blaze Of glory never yet equaled
by the colored aristocTacy of the city.
Just before the beginning of the after
dinner speaking, prayer was offered
by Warren T. Hazard. President H .
c. johnson gave a very interesting his
tory of the association. and introduced
the POSTMASTER of the evening, H. {.
Elliott.
W. NJ. Coshburn was called on as the
first speaker. He announced as mis- sub
ject why so much prejudice and jeal-
ousy?" The colorcd people of WOr-
cester are divided against themselves, -
said he. We have three distinct ele-
mants here, the northerner, the south

that is the reason for the prejudice
and Jealousy among Us Let any col
ored person aim to advance himself
and he has from the start elements in
his own race TO contend with. If our
efforts are crowned with success, il IS
due to the patronage ol the white PEG
pie.
We should unite and act as one PEG
pie: then We would have The respect of

john Street Baptist Church spoke on
The recent council in Washington. -
He argued that instead Of having 50

FRlOTHJOF AND INGEBORG.
c. F. Hanson's Well Known Opera Again
Presented.

Charles F. Hanson's opera, "Fridth-
jof and Ingeborg," was given a success
full presentation before a good sized
audience in Mechanics hall last evening.
The audience was very appreciative
one and was very generous of its ap-
plause.
The opera as presented last night diff
fered in no way from the production
that has been seen in Worcester a num-
Der of times in the past. The east was
a very good one and did creditable
work. Credit is due in especial measure
to the chorus, which although occas-
ionally weak, sung with praiseworthy
attention 70 expression and dramatic
effect.
Mrs Lillian Hanson Gray as Ingeborg
was the favOrile with the audience and
justified completely their previous kind
~ feeling for her. Mr.. John Lloyd as
Frithjof ably supported her. although
ne was not in the best voice last even
ing. The presentation on the whole was
a very satisfactory one and may be
easily added TO Mr.. Hanson's already
long list Of successes as an operate

instructive address.
Why are we not better treated?'
asked G. A. Busby. the well known
worcester tailor. He answered the
question by assuming the same atti-
tude declared by Mr.. Coshburn at the
beginning.
A charming musical and literary en-
tertainment was given, including a

but in our opinion the visible supply has
reached the thigh water mark on this
crop. and will GRADUALLY decrease from

nothing. This Is only one of the strong
features of the wheat market, but 1t
serves to emphasize the fact that intend
