SATURDAY, JUNE /, 1901.

DR.. Jenkin Lloyd Jones preached his
annual Decoration Day sermon last
Sunday in Chicago, taking for his sub
ject, THE Rise of the Black Man. His
sermon was bristling with good things
throughout and among other things he
paid this tribute to Paul Laurence
Dunbar: Much as l hate war. I
would accept the bitter experience
again and march over every foot of
the ground that traversed from 1862
to 1865 for the sake of knowing that
the slave mother was permitted to give
birth to the child that became an ele-
vator boy and who in due time was the
guest of English nobility, the honored
poet laureate of the Negro race, de-
serving and receiving the praise that
belongs to a poet irrespective of rank

since. She has defended her title to
the property against all claimants
through the District courts, Courts of
Appeals, and the United States Su-
preme Court During the taking of
the testimony she was asked how she
paid for it. Her answer was that she
worked and paid for it, but that if she
had been dishonest she could have
been as rich as any woman; that two
parties going South during the war left
in her care $4,000, to be kept until
they returned for it. which was done,
and delivered to them. On another oc-
casion a lady going to Europe to join
her daughter left a box containing her
valuable, with it's key, to be delivered
to her upon her return, which was
done. While she knew the contents to
be most valuable, she never opened the
box, though she often felt she would
like to know just how much was left
in her charge. During the War the
paymasters of the United States gov
eminent lived at her house, and in
many instances she was intrusted with
their cash boxes. On one occasion she
required paymaster's clerk to get an
order from the paymaster before she
would recognize his authority in the
matter. She numbered as occupants of
her house many noted men, senators
and representatives. She and her
husband were caterers.
Prof. Ferris, one of the Afro-Ameri-
can educators of Jacksonville, who
lost all his possessions in the recent
fire, spoke at the Second Baptist
Church Lyceum Sunday afternoon, and
criticised the Jacksonville authorities
for their attitude toward the Afro
American race. He denied the news
paper reports that the Afro-Americans
would not work, and asserted that
they had been insulted and ill treated
by those in charge IT rebuilding the
city. The speaker was introduced by
President Thomas, of the lyceum.
Prof. Ferris told of instances where
AfrO-Americans with wagons had been
paid exorbitant prices for removing
goods of white people, only to have the
money taken away from them at the
point of a pistol. The Afro-Americans

of Jacksonville, he said, while the
debris is being cleaned up, have not
been permitted to walk on the side
walks. He said the white and Afro
American people had been supplied by
different commissaries, and while his
people had been given only pork and
the like, the white folks could get but
ter, eggs, flour and such supplies. The
Afro-Americans, he said, were forced
to take secondhand goods or go with
cut, while ~brand-new clothing was
given the white people. The Afro
Americans were the only ones who did
work, he said. He had seen over one
hundred with picks and shovels in one
gang, and the only white people work
ing were four or five men with UNI
brellas over them who officiated as
overseers. He said people in the South
did not think an Afro American work
ed unless he had a pick or shovel, and
that while the white clerks were too
refined, the Afro-American teachers,
clerks and other semi-clerical trades
men were expected to work as laborers.
He said respectable ro-American cit
liens who had paid taxes had been
held up and searched by militiamen on
suspicion of plundering the ruins.

During his trial last week Arthur H.
Harris, who was convicted in Grimm
al Court No. of obtaining money un-
der false pretenses, entered a queer
plea as. a defence He claimed that he
IS an attorney and was justified in re-
ceiving the money he did as a fee.
When examined as to when and where
he. studied law and why it was that he
is not a registered attorney, Harris
was unable to. explain satisfactorily to
the court and jury. Harris insisted
that he studied law in the Office of an
eminent attorney in the state of Maine.
He spent i've years, he said, in en-
deaVOrlng to master tBlackstone's
Commentaries but gave it up because
he disagreed with that authority en-
more than one point. At this stage of
his career Harris said he turned to the
study of philosophy and spent many
years in the study of Plato. Harris
said that he agreed with the ancient
philosopher in all he said, particular
~ in reference to the immortality Of
the soul. A close cross-examination
of Harris, however. developed the fact
that although he claimed to have spent
five years in the study of Blackstone,
he did not know his definition of law
or of how many volumes the comment
aries consist. As a defence to this
Harris said there are great many
lawyers who cannot answer these
questions. z
