president. once invited a prominent
negro to dine with him at the White
House. Says the writer:
The author of the immoral declaration
of independence during his presidency in
vited Benjamin Banneker, the noted ne
gro mathematician, astronomer and lin
guist, TO dine with him at the executive
rnansion, which he did. President Jetfer-
son also invited Banneker to visit him at
his home, Monticello, but the aged negro
was too feebel to travel, and died the
following year. Benneker was we'll known
ginia.
benjamin Banneker was one of the
most noted negroes of the Eighteenth CEN
tury. He was born at Ellicotts, Md. in
1I3l. His grandmother was an English
woman, who bought two negro slaves up
on their arrival in a slave ship, liberated
them and married one. of them. Banne'

Banneker began to make astronomical
calculations for almanacs. In the spring
of 1883 he accurately calculated for an
eclipse. In 1880 he assisted in surveying
the lines of the District of Columbia. He

the almanac, copies of which he sold in

The close Of Yukon navigation brings with t thc usual interesting speculation as Co the fresh meat supply Of Dawson and the Klondlko.
