Of his friends told an interesting story OF
how he first became acquainted with his
present associate on the District board. Ma
II. B. F. Macfarland. at the time a boy
about nine years OF age. Mr.. Ross also
paid a tribute to Mr.. Macfarland's work as
Commissioner during the first year Of his
administration.
Thirty-one years ago this month OF
June" said Mr.. Ross, II came to Washing
ton from my western home to claim the
hand of Washington girl who had prom
ised to be my wife. At the hotel where 1
was married, and where 1 became ac-
quainted with many OF the guests during
my stay, there was a family consisting Of
father. mother and two sons. The father
was a well-known and influential newspa-
per man, the mother was a sweet-faced
lady whom everybody admired and the
boys were bright. manly fellows, in whom
everybody felt an especial interest and
whom everybody liked. They were then, l
| should think, about seven and nine years
old. respectively. One Of those boys is now
my honored associate. Henry B. F. Mac
farland, president of the board of DiStr ics
Commissioners.

years later to become a resident 1 renewed

farland was the son-in-law Of my honored
associate Commissioner, and it was very
pleasant to renew a former acquaintance
with him.
Probably no citizen ever had better op-
portunities for becoming acquainted with
District affairs and with the personnel OF
the District government than did Mr.. Mac
farland as a member of Mr.. Douglass fam
lily. AS a newspaper man connected with
some of the most influential journals Of the
United States he had exceptional opportu-
mites for becoming acquainted with lead
ing men of each house of Congress, and
when. in 1900, Mr.. Mckinley requests ed him
to become Commissioner Of the District
he selected one who had unusual qualifica-
lions to fill the place to the satisfaction of
the people Of the District"

The Fifteenth Amendment.
10 the Editor of The Evening Star,


desire. personally to thank you for
your very just and timely editorial of FRI
day, opposing the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment. 1t is startling that any one
OF prominence and influence at this late
day should seriously propose that the re-
suits OF the great civil war that cost so
many thousands Of precious lives and so
many billions of dollars should all be given
up to this generation, that the country
should take long step backward and
again plunge into the bitter agitation and
discussion of the past. A large section Of
the colored people have made immense
progress since the war in morals, religion,
education, the acquisition Of property and
the building of homes. This is true despite
every assertion to the contrary by persons
who delight to write and talk them down
for political purposes as unworthy Of full
American citizenship. If we remember the
barbarism and degradation Of slavery we
should expect to see a large proportion of
these people in the Submerged class" in
this country. Every fair-minded person
knows that it is from this Submerged
class In all countries, regardless Of race,
that the largest number of criminals come
1t Is because such large number Of these
people live below the line Of hope that an
undue proportion Of them are criminals
The point that l feel especially grateful to
you for stating SO clearly is this: You ask
that the colored people be judged by their
best and not by their worst. This is emf
nently fair and timely. Would the white
race like to be judged by It's worst criml-
nal aspects? ANDREW F. HILYER.

MISS RENNER IMPROVING.
Physicians Note . Change In Physical
and Mental Condition.

Miss Mary Renner, who was removed to
st. Elizabeth's Asylum for the Insane last
week from the home of her mother in the
city. is now doing very well at the institu-
ton and shows some Improvement under
the treatment given her. The wan, pale
color she had when she arrived at the
asylum is giving place to a more heaithful
hue. She speaks at times to her nurses,
asking and answering simple questions,
and she has made no objection to the at
tentions of the attendants. Sometimes she
passes about the room in such fashion as
her contracted limbs will permit. Taken
altogether. she is doing better, it is said,
than was at first expected and appears to
be well contented.
