Working for Jrb.ice Success.
Among the men who have given most
valuable assistance in assuring the success
of the jubilee is Mr. Chaplin Brown. He
was. like others who are now Jealous In
behalf of the celebration, rather disinclined
to approve the project at the beginning, but
he quickly realized the earnestness and
public spirit that filled so many of his fell
low citizens, and with characteristic desire
to further anything that promised to be
advantageous to Washington he entered
with energy into the preminarieS and has
been ardently active ever since. His long
experience and his capable judgment have
been sterling benefits to his colleagues, and
his advice has been potent factor in the
settlement of many problems that seemed
difficult when first considered. Mr.. Brown
Is so well and favorabIy known in the Dis
trict that his career is familiar to all, and
the esteem in which he is held is wide
entail.
Another steady worker in behalf of iubt-
lee success is Major L. +. Williams who is
the representative on the executive COM
mittee of Lincoln Post No. 3, q. A. r., and
also member of the committee on accom-
modationS. For many years he has been a
deputy clerk of the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia, and he enjoys d
VIDE acquaintance and general popularity.
