In the last issue OF The Colored
American series Of IL tiers on "The
Big Colored Men of Maryland" were in.
augurated. Pictures of Frederick Doug.
lass and Ira Aldridge, the black Rosius,
were printed with sketches of their
lives. Quite series of these articles
will be printed from week to week and
they are contributed by that prince of
Negro journalists and writer's, John E.
Bruce bruce Grit. MIR. Bruce Is be-
yond question one of the ablest, if not
he ablest writer the lace possesses. To
get information, to colIste and to put
this together is labor of love to him
when the work embodies something
that the Negro has done or is doing.
These sketches will be published in
book form as soon as the series have
run through.
