BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1900-02-23
Enthusiastic Cele-
bratiOn OF Washin=
gtOn's Birthday.

Yesterday, the one hundred and
sixty eighth anniversary of the birth
Of the great George Washington,
the "Father of his country" was
cOmmemOrated in a most fitting
manner by the people of San Juan
under the auspices of the Committee
of arrangements appointed by the
Army and Navy Officers stationed
here.
In the afternoon at 2.3O o'clock a
meeting was held in the Theatre
which was packed from pit to dome.
The hall was deliberately and
tastefully decorated with American
flags, the draping of the stage being
especially beautiful. The auditorium
was also adorned with fresh palm
leaves.
Governor General Davis presided
and sitting beside him were Bishop
Blenk of Porto Rico and the vene-
rable Bishop Whipple of Minnesota.
Others on the stage included leading
Army and Navy Officers and promi-
nent Puerto Ricans.
The meeting was opened by pra-
yer, by Chaplain Brown of the
Army after which General Davis, in
opening the meeting prOnunced a
most eloquent address.
1t being impossible to give Ia full
report of all of the addresse made, We
give extracts of those of General
Davis and the Hon. Bishop Blenk.
General Davis said -
In making acknowledgment of
the honor conferred by the Commit
tee of Arrangements in naming me
as the presiding officer, | must con-
fesS realizing sense of deficiencies
and lack of experience for such a
charge before this public assemblage.
But as an American, profoundly
interested in this scene Of labor and
duty, | felt that as one of the parti-
cipants in the exercises held today,
could not graciously decline the
role SO cordially assigned. While it
would have been more consonant
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1900-02-23

with personal iDclinations to have
occupied seat in the auditorium,
instead of the chair of the presiding
officer on this rostrum, yet one can
not sometimes entirely lay aside the
the duties, responsibilities and pro-
prieties of official position, even on
occasions Ofspontaneous civil gather
ings.
Deferring, therefore, to the wishes
of your Committee of Arrangements,
and fully sensible of the honor con-
ferred by their invitation, l have
suppressed the inclination adverted
to, and duties assigned in the prin-
ted programme.
ASsemblages of Americans are
frequent to do honor to the name OF
Washington on the natal anniversary
of him whose character and sacrifices,
worth, and virtues, our people delight
to honor and commemorate. Frequen-
tly our ccuntrymen have met together
in foreign lands for similar object,
and occasionally the citizens CT fore
ingn nations have assembled for the
purpose of showing their high ap-
probation of the one man who did
more than any other to make repu-
blican government possible and sue
cessfnl. But probably never before,
in the history OF this Island, has
there been such a convocation as
this: The incident is also unique in
the fact that the first speaker who
has kindly consented to address you,
was born, educated and has lived
under foreign flag, but who yields
not one jOt little to any other Ame-
rican in admiration of the character
and respect for the memory of Geor-
ge Washington.
The Committee of Arrangements
is to be congratulated on its good
fortune in being able to offer so in
teresting a programe for these cere-
monies, conducted in surroundings
and amidst decorations so beautiful
and appropriate. AS the flag of the
Union is the emblem Of liberty and
equal rights, SO is the palm branch
the symbol of joy and of the victory
of the church militant over error and
wrong.

Any man who wishes perfect health

tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost ON
nipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso-

to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of

made no remarks concerning the mat

sermon, however, that he did not be
lieve in bringing such subjects into the
pulpit. "It ia fortunate, 'said ne,
"that the statement was made by Com
missioner Wight just at this time, 1or

can think as he pleases, but, to say the
least, it was highly indiscreet Tor

Mr. Wight has DONE"

self ae he had against the Negro pee-
pie. He aa1d the statement against the
Irishmea and Italians was just as
wrong as that made against the Ne
groes. He said that the voicing of
such sentiments by Mr. Wight was
most UNIV Sc, especially>at this time.
MORE PULPIT COMMENT.
Rev. Walter FL. Brooks, pastor Of the
Nineteenth Street Baptist church, said
that the statement made by Commits
s1oner Wight was,an extremely unfor'
tunate one.
SIT Is not true" said the minister,
"that proportionately there is more
crime among our race THAI among the
whites. 1t is also untrue that mardeis
committed by persons Of our race excel
In brutality those committed by white
murt ers." He quoted as an example
the murder OF Lisa Weisenberger by
Smell and the more recent crimes Of
Olaf Pallesen, this city.
Rev, Robert Johnhon, OF the Retro
politan Baptist church, at the conclu
sion of his sermon spoke to his congre'
CATION about the Wight matter. Rev.
Johnson said that men who made such
statements about the Negro did not know
the race. He said Commissioner Ross
would not axe such .atemant about
the colored man.
"What some men want" said he,
els to get all they can out OF the Negro
and show him no humanity in return. "
The speaker said 1t was very unWise
Uove on the part of Commissioner
Wight to say what he did. He said it
showed thorough lack Of judgment,
and man who gave expression to such
views was not fit to be Commissioner
of the District. He said that Mr..
Wight's classification OF the Negroes
put them on a lower plane than the
Fllipinos. "One thing l am satisfied
of,"said the speaker, sis that the think
ing people know our race better than
does Mr.. Wight"

Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Columbus, o.:
Gentlemen-I've often heard of your
great medicine and have persuaded my
wife, who has been much of sufferer
from catarrh, to try Pe-ru-na, and after
using one bottle she las wonderfully
improved. 1t has proved all you have
claimed for it, and 1 take pleasure in
recommending it to anyone who is af-
f1icted with catarrh. Yours,

Auditor for the Interior.
Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly
becoming a national curse. An IN
doubted remedy has been discovered
by DR., Hartman. This remedy has
been thoroughly tested during the past
forty years. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh in
all stages and phases. There is no rem
edy that can be substituted.
