The recent death In Washington OF
Mrs. Julia Hanson, at the age OF VS
years, ana her large requests to charl'
", are reminders Of the philanthropic
work Of another aged representative Of
the negro race. During the stormy de-
cade known as 1.-The sixties this stall
wart black woman in Quaker attire and
heavily laden with baskets and parcels,
was familiar figure In the streets of
Washington. Her charitable work
among the many destitute negroes who
then thronged Washington is COM
memmated by a sign bearing the words
"SOjourner Truth Home" on an old
fashioned brick house In the northern
portion Of the city. II was opened a
few years ago to provide shelter and
training for a small number Of young
colored women.
Souiourner Truth was born in Ulster
county, New York, about the beginning
OF the revolutionary war; and died Nov,
20, 1888, In Battle Creek, Mich, aged
fully los years. The act OF 1871, In
the state of New York, emancipated
all the slaves Of the age OF 10 years and
over From that time they were liber-
ated az soon as they reached the re-
quired age, until 1921, when ell We're
free. Soiourner was among the first TO
receive her freedom. She always re-
garded the date Of her liberation as her
real birthday, and frequently said Il
only count my age from de time dat I
was 'manclpated. Den ! begun to lib."
When she was freed she possessed a
fine physique, being six feet tall, erect,
and OF remarkable muscular develop
ment, In colOr she was deep black,
with large brilliant and expressive
eyes, and deep masculine voice She
married early in life and was the moth
er of five children. three Of whom had
already been sold away from her.
A few years before she was eman-
oipated her master promised to give her
her freedom one year earlier than the
specified date, as a reward for the best
possible service she could render him
up to that time Isabella. as she was
then called, nobly fulfilled her share OF
the contract, but, when she demanded
her freedom, received only Il fiat re-
fusal. Then, after forty years of slave
~, she decided TO take what was her
own. Escaping two or three hours
before dawn she walked until dark,
and was sheltered by a quaker family,
with whom she remained for one year.
Then, with two Of her children, she
went 10 New York. In that city. by
hard labor, she maintained a comfort
able home for fully ten years.
During these years she had visions OF
great mission In behalf Of her race.
and she believed herself specially called
TO perform the work. She saw that the
mass OF the colored people We're both
indolent and ignorant, and realized that

THE RETAIL GROCERS.
Association Objects to Regulations in
Force in District

The recently organized Retail Grocers'
protective Association, heretofore referred
to in The Star, had several meetings and
has formulated plans for mutual protec-
ton and advancement of the interests Of
Its members. One of the principal objects
of the association is to do away with some
of the police regulations governing the sale
of groceries and provisions, which are held
to be unjust. especially the regulations re-
lating to milk. The recent large number of
prosecutions of dealers accused of selling
adulterated milk is looked upon as a hard
ship. The grocers claim the dairymen
should be the persons to be arrested and
taken into court. War is also to be waged
against the regulation referring to the sale
of dressing oils.
Other purposes of the association will be
the establishment and maintenance Of a
system for credit protection and collec-
ton; to protect individual members of the
association from reckless and irresponsible
debtors, and to devise and conduct a thor
ough system of collecting accounts; to re-
strict the retail grocery trade in all its
branches to retail dealers, and to create
spirit of fraternity among the members
of the trade
The association has been incorporated un-
der the laws of the District of Columbia

REMOVING A LANDMARK.
House Constructed of Sandstone From
the Capitol to Be Demolished.

On North Capitol street between P and @
streets there has stood for many years a
queer looking building. It's oddly consisted
in the fact that it was built of sandstone
with very thick walls made Of large pieces
Of stones, this massiveness Of construction
being in contrast to the proportions of the
building, which was but one room deep and
two stories in height 1t would have looked
quite in place as a gate house at the en-
trance Of an estate, but In its capacity
separate dwelling occupying a lot
prominent street it always attracted at
tention
The history Of the house gives a ready
explanation of it's limited dimensions. After
the building of the old Capitol there was
a quantity of sandstone left over which had
to be disposed of in some manner. The
owner of land away out on North Capitol
street, near the bounday Of the city, offered
to haul 1t away He was given the privi
lege, and with the stone he built the little
house mentioned.
When this house of two rooms was erect
ed 1t was in a field, distant from any other
dwellings, and it seemed that it would be
long time before that land would be SO
valuable as to make the removal of the lit
tie house desirable. The march of improve
ment has been SO great that the sandstone
house is being torn down to make way for
q larger dwelling.

Regarded as a Menace,

has complained to the Commissioners that
on 10th street just south of his premises is
an old building. formerly used as a black
smith shop, in which is now stored a large
number of oil barrels and whisky barrels,
and where a number of people congregate,
light matches. smoke and use boisterous
and profane language. The complainant
stated that he believed the storing of such
barrels within the fire limits constituted
violation of the regulations and that his
premises were constantly in danger of fire
from the old building. The writer will be
notified that the fire marshal has made in
vestigatioGs on several occasions and has
not found oil barrels nor congregation of
smokers near the building. The occupant
of the premises is having constructed a
brick building for the storage Of barrels,
which will be ready for occupancy in about
one month.
