OBITUARY.

The death of Mr. VIM. Henry Cooper
occurred Sunday Dec 9TH, 1902, at I :o5
D. m, after an illness of three months.
He was the son of Benjamin F. and
Alice Cooper. He was born in Crockett
County, Tenn, April 29th, 1884, and
came to this city with his parents four
years ago. He completed with honor
the common school course in the graded
schools of the District, but poor health
prevented his entering the High School.
He was an obedient and loving son, a
kind brother and a model young man.
His illness, which lasted nearly three
months, was borne with patience and
fortitude. During his spare moments
he learned to set type in the composing
room of The Colored American and was
becoming quite proficient in the art when
he was taken sick. \ mother, father,
two sisters and two brothers mourn their
loss. The funeral service was held q:
the home of his parents, 800 9TH street,
southeast, last Thursday afternoon.

which it will be remembered operated the
steamer Lady of the Lake for some time
between this city and lower Potomac
river points. It was while so serving
that the idea occurred to Mr.. Patterson
to enter upon the study of law, and to
him to think was to act. Singular to re
late he entered no law school but pursued
his studies alone, and when admitted 10
tie District bar he passed brilliant and
successful examination.
Mr.. Patterson's success at the bar has
been instant and commanding. He holds
close and cordial relations with the
Judges of our courts and is highly es-
teemed by the bar in general. Add TO
this his profound knowledge of the law,
his handsome face, his winning manners
and his frank outspoken character and
he presents a combination of qualities
which will perforce make his success
continue indefinitely and give our race
another man and gentleman of whose
merits we may be proud, and whose
achievements elevate each and every one
of us even as they elevate and adorn
him.

Mrs. A. ]. Cooper. principal OF NJ
Street High School, gave fine spread
at the school armory yesterday after
noon in honor of the football team.
In accordance with her usual good
taste and excellent executive ability,
Mrs. Cooper spared neither pains nor
expense in making this affair pleasant
to all. Arrangements were left to COM
mittees from the fourth year classes,
who performed their services well.
The armory was profusely decorated
with High School colOrs interspersed
with American flags. The tables, one
for the football squad with twenty per-
sons, the other for the Faculty, fairly
groaned under the burden of the good
things prepared. Between the hours
of 2:30 and P. NJ, the Athletic assO-
citation took advantage of their privil-
eye to renew their acquaintance with

The innovation offered by THE COL
oRED AMERICAN few weeks ago in pre-
sentlng to our many patrons a handsome
illuminated supplement-the latest and
best photograph of Booker T. Washing
ton, artistically done in four colors-has
set the country "by the ears" in COM
mon parlance. Not only has this I'M
usual production attracted widespread
attention, but unstinted praise has come
to Us because of the bright and original
features" introduced, the unique
method of discussing the topics of the
dav in breezy, chatty way that at O. e
'ntsrests, amuses and instructs. Our
s~"eral departments, Astounding in wit
ahl wisdom; editorials that carry both
scholarship and ginger" our newsy
local paragraphs and mirror of society
al appeal to the most cultured and re-
fined tastes. More than that, when the
pressure of advertising has been too
great for our usual forms, THE CoLoRED
AMERICAN has not hesitated to enlarge
to twenty-pages, giving our subscribers
their quota of reading matter, without
additional charge
To give an idea of the pleasant sur
prise our progressive spirit and Jour
nallsuc push have given our friends, and
to show the wide area covered by our

Mr.. Patterson took right hold of the
case with the grasp of the master mind,
and boldly resolving that Richard Cole
should not remain in Jail to await the
action OF the grand jury, promptly had
HIM brought into court on writ of
habeas corpus, and had the pleasure of
seeing the district attorney make an
ignominiOus surrender, and after CON
Sulting with Mr.. Patterson, suffered Mr..
Patterson'S client to be set free by the
court without blemish on his name and
his honor unscathed. We believe that in
the whole history of criminal lurisprud-
ence in the District, this case of Richard
Cole IS the first and only one in which
man charged with murder and held by
a coroner's jury for the action of the
grand jury has not been so held and kept
IL jail until the grand jury acted on his
case. This is a distinct personal and
professional victory for Mr. Patterson,
and he has just cause for pride in its ac-
complishment. 1t also brings out in full
view a larger fact which is most pleas
ing one also, and that is, that it is d
.culpable error to continue and deride the
power, the influence and the knowledge
of professional colored men, for what
white lawyer could have done more for
Richard Cole than Mr. Patterson has,
in that he has secured for him not only
liberty but practical immunity from fur
Their persecution and the right and privi-
lege of looking his fellowmen fairly in the
face, conscious that he has the same
right to enter the battle of life again,
handicapped by no lurking suspicious of
wrong doing.
We think it will be of interest to our
readers to learn something more than is
known generally of the attractive per-
sonalty found in Mr. John w. Patter-
son. He was born in Richmond, Va,
thirty-flve years ago, and he is now in
the prime and vigor of his manhood. His
early education was obtained in the city
OF his birth, and shortly after reaching
manhood he secured a position in the
Treasury Department. This, however,
he soon resigned to accept the Presidency
OF the Peoples Transportation Company
The colored American. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1893-19??, 1902-12-13

in good standing before the courts, he
should have the case and the opportunity
to acquire whatever credit would accrue.
The event justified their judgment. They
were fortunate in securing the services
of Mr.. John w. Patterson, a member of
the bar of the District, and one of the
most eloquent and profound men of his
race.

the treat. I asked the three which they
would prefer for dessert-cream cake or
