. WORD TO DELINQUENT SUB
SCRIBERS.

There are a large number of names
on our subscription books of sub
scribeTs who are considerably in az
rearS, and to whom we have sent ap-
peal after appeal for settlement.
Many Of these people are able and
welI-tO-do and could easily pay the
amount if, they desired to. The Color
ed American is worth the subscription
price, and the friends of the paper
who read it from week to week, from
month to month, and from year to
year ought to be willing to contribute
their share in supporting it. The
management does not desire TO defend
these delinquent subscribers, neither
does it desire to part company with
them but subscribers who have been
repeatedly notified and who ignore
our appeals for settlement need not
be surprised if their bills are placed
| in the hands of a lawyer in their re
| spective cities, and efforts made to
collect the money. This course may
| seem ineXpedient and unnecessary, but
| something must be done. Send in
| what you know to be due and let the
| good work go on.

The memory and public services of
Frederick Douglass were commemora-
ted at the NJ Street High School, yes
terday by 500 cOIOred pupils and nu-
meTCus friends and patrons of the
zchool. Rev. Francis J. Grimke pre-
-sided, and Prof. Kelly Miller, of
Howard University, delivered the
commemorative address. The pupils
Of the sr2. oOl rendered an interesting g
Dr0gra mhe. Prof. Miller spoke i'm
pressively of Mr. Douglass as { model
Of seif-respect. and urged the young
oeople who listened to him to learn
he lesson that it is not the treat

grades him, but that which he accepts.
THE inner freedom of SOUL he said,
is not subject to assault and battery.

 Municipal Ownership.
 The Rhine cities are new in their sys- tems of government. Municipal owner ship is coming to the front along the old river There is much city pride and but little boodling. Dusseldorf owns its own gas and electric light plants. It has pub lie bath houses, where you can get at cost Turkish or Russian bath first sec- ond or third class. It has its own slaugh- ter houses and market houses, and its own ice plants and Nd storage estab- lishments. The municipality acts also as wine merchant selling wine by whole sale, and Il aking profit off of 1t. It has a municipal savings bank. with a pawnbroking attachment, and also homes for the aged and those who are too fee ble to earn their own living.
 Dusseldorf owns its street cars and so does Cologne and the fares in both cities are just about half what they are in tine United States and the accommodations equally good. My car fares cost me about s5 a month, or s60 a year. while at home in Washington. In Dusseldorf I could have the same for just half and save $30.
 Here in Cologne one can buy a yearly pass good on all lines for $sO monthly passes are sold for $2.3S and the ordinary fare for the longest distance is 1-2 cents. while the shortest distance costs less than i-2 cents. Children under le years pay less than cents, and students sl Ing ed1eatlonal institutions have

Near by were other barges loading goods for the United States, and I was told that something like two million dol lars worth of goods are annually shipped from here to our country.
 The Rhine at Dusseldorf.
 Another big Rhine center is Dusseldorf, about two and one-half hours by steamer down stream. It Is the chief port of Vest phalia. an enormous industrial region un- derlaid with coal and iron. Dusseldorf it. self has iron and steel works, foundries, furnaces and rolling mills. It makes rail road cars and electrical equipments and the same is true of Cologne.
 Dusseldorf is also the port for many other towns nearby, and does great Dus- mess in selling American machine tools, Carolina pine and some of our best hard woods. It takes a great lot of California fruit, and has until recently imported con siderable iron and steel tubing, although this is now furnished by Germany. It Is from there that a large part of the Krupp shipments go out, including those to the United States. which are heavy.
 Mainz and Mannheim.
 Up the Rhine above Cologne there are a number of important ports. and especial ly Coblenz. Mainz and Mannheim. I am surprised at the size of Manz. It is grow ing like a green bay tree. and now has more than 100000 population. It is sit uated where the Main flows into the Rhine, and gets the traffic of both rivers. It was so rich in the past that 1t was call

to the value of something like $1, 900 0Oo a year, and at the same time buys a few American shoes. It uses American to- bacco and makes millions of cigars every week, which are shipped to all parts of Germany.
 New German Towns.
 These Rhine towns are among the new est of the German cities. This .tatement seems strange when one remembers that they thrived in the days of the crusaders Cologne was founded about the time that Caesar overran Gaul It was so rich dur ing the middle ages that instead of say ing 'as rich as Croesus'' they said "as rich as a cloth merchant of Cologne" and it has been an importal It town from that time until now.
 And still 1t is a new town! Since the FrGnco-Prusslan war 1t has been almost rebuilt. The old wall has been torn away and wide street, paved with asphalt, with trees in the center and rideways and driveways on each side, has taken its place. New houses have been erected along this street. and. indeed, the whole city looks as though 1t were put up for show. It Is only the older sections that you find antique structures. and the ca thedral, although begun centuries ago was only completed along in the eighties It Is now the finest cathedral in Europe and cost all told a little less than $o,. | 00O,000.

 write today of the Rhine. Not the Rhine picturesque, not the Rhine TO- mantle nor the Rhine of castles and cathedrals, but the Rhine as a trade route and as the great water avenue of the American invasion of Germany. During this trip in Europe have studied it from its sources to its mouth. l was near its beginning on Mount Saint Gothard in Switzerland, I saw 1t rushing past Basel, the head of navigation, and watched the enormous trafic moving into 1t from Rot terdam near the sea- It is 526 miles from Basel to the German ocean, and through out this distance the Rhine is spotted with towns and cities; 1t Is cut by canals. which lead to the Seine and the Danube. and others which bring 1t into connec- ton with the busiest section of this busi- est of all tn continents. You can get from Hamburg to the Rhine by canal. The ports of Belgium have access to 1t and a network of railroads leads out from it to every quarter of Europe.

 Here at Cologne the Rhine is about l 300 feet wide, and 1t Is deep enough for boats drawing twelve feet of water. The

 Mannheim is the head of Rhine naviga- ton for large boats and the chief point of distribution for grain. cotton. coal oil. lumber and coal. Over sixteen thousand boats unload at its docks every year and its freight runs up into the millions of tons. It is a great commercial center, its banks having a capital of $S0,000,0O0. It Is also a manufacturing city, making dye stuffs and chemicals. corks and cars. beer and glass bottles, agricultural implements. pianos, cocoanut butter. cigars and score of other things. Its analine dye plant is the largest in the world, its ex- ports to the United States alone amount ing to $100.OO0 a month.

and are steadily improving their port ar engagements. You see cranes on the land ing places at many small towns, all the cities have wharves and the busy scenes upon them shows that this part of Ger many is industrially alive.
 The port at Cologne is formed by an island in the river. This has been walled In with great stone blocks and paved with cobbles. Bridges connect 1t with the rail- roads and the cars are brought right to the boats and loaded and unloaded with great steel cranes. There are custom houses on the island with bonded ware houses, and the facilities are such that scores of barges and boats can be handled at one time.
 As l walked along upon this island l saw a barge unloading South Carolina pine. The boards were built out over the sides of the barge so that it seemed to be a pile of lumber a hundred feet wide. two hundred feet long and ten feet high. It had been lowed up from Rotterdam by a steam tug, ind when I saw 1t the hydraulic cranes. were lifting up hun dred boards at time and dropping them on to the cars. which were to take them to the interior.
