AFTERNOON SESSION.

delegates assembled in the corn palace
and listened to the report of the COM
mittess appointed. at the morning ses-
sion.
One OF the interesting features of the
session was the presenting of gavel to
the encampment by Commander Pal
mer. The wood from which the gavel
was made hassome historic value. 1t
is made from the keel of the old ship
"Porcupine,' which was in the famous
backwoods fleet of Capt. o. H. Perry,
that won the battle of Lake Erie on
on Sept. 10, 1918. The remains of the
ship are owned by G. G. Bulthouse, of
Ferrysburg, Mich, and lies in his back
yard among the weeds and grass. He
made the gavel and sent it to General
Palmer to present to the encampment
with his compliments.
In presenting his report Commando
Palmer covered the work done in the
year in thorough manner showing the
standing of the posts.
Asher F. Pay, assistant adjutant gen.
eral, sent his rapport to the encampment
through Mr.. Thomas, who presented
it to the encampment. It shows that
June 30, 1899, there were 90 posts il

the year was 10 by muster in, % by

The columns of THE Colored
American are replete with good
things and the most toothsome literary
feast is offered to its many readers. No
race journal gives to its readers a
higher character and better quality
of news matter than The Colored
American. 1t goes everywhere and it
prints the news of the race from all
points of the compass. Delinquent
subscribers should consider what a car
nival of good things they are having
at the expense of the publisher and
other subscribers. There is no better

The BOSTON BUSINESS LEAGUE.

The first meeting of the National
Negro Business League was held in
Boston last week. Its sessions lasted
three days, but no previous meeting of
Afro Americans has accomplished so
much for the race. 1t was all business
as its name indicates from start to fin
ish. 1t met for a purpose-it served
it and adjourned. There were no
delays and entanglements nor nonsense.
The program had been arranged, the
speakers assigned and at the initial
meeting, MIR. Washington in his own
inimitable way. stated clearly and fully
the objects and purposes of the meet

These were new men come from 'the

tell the story of their struggles and
progress. Their papers read like the
tale vt Alladiu. They had heard of
the new Moses. and they had come to
worship him and to obtain his counsel.
They had without previous training,
and many of them with little or no
money, buils up thriving businesses,
had made money and had saved it.
They were conducting big concerns
and were giving employment to many
of the race. Their reports made a
splendid showing, and as speaker ex-
pressed it, "The American people will
not long deny people of this quality
any fit reward of their success
Mr.. Washington very aptly said:-
AS have noted the conditions of our

try, have always been encouraged by
the fact that almost without exception,

A meeting of Akron sportsmen was
held in the Council chamber Friday
night. About 30 were present and af-
ter an informal discussion of the exist
ing game laws 1t was decided to ad-
journ until next Friday evening.
At that time it is desired that every
sportsman In the city be present and
have u voice in the proceedings. A
committee will be appointed to draft
a bill (which will be introduced into the
Legislature at the present session.
The local sportsmen are desirous of
modifying the fishing laws, in such as
way as stop the wholesale catching
of fish in the lakes near the city. The
bill will term it misdemeanor to use
a net or other device In catching fish.
This, of course, does not include the
licensed fishers in Lake Erie.

Informed the Democrat Saturday that
1t was hoped to score point against
persons who have caught fish in the
nearby lakes, and be enabled to pun
ish them accordingly. Heretofore it
has been impossible to convict accused
persons.
i is not believed that the laws which
govern hunting will be greatly chang
ed in the new bill, to be drafted by the
committee. The local nimrods are
confident that Prof Seese and Senator
sieber will carefully guard their in
terests and secure the passage of the
bill.
