Republican says:
While digging a cistern last week
on Dr. Emma Woodrows lot, near
Sixth and South jefferson streets,
Lester and Don Marable unearthed. at
a depth Of ten feet. the remains Of a
mastodon, So far only part of the
skeleton has been removed but enough
TO show clearly it is, and to what
species it belonged (Mastodon Ameri-
canus). One of the tusks which is in
a high state of preservation. has been
uncovered. II measured three feet In
length and five inches in diameter. A
few of the vertebrae have been taken
out. together with few fragments Of
ribs, all showing an animal OF gigan-
tic proportions and # is evidently one
of the largest of that now extinct
species.
An effort will be made to have the
whole skeleton on exhibition during
the street fair.

THE CoLoRED AMERICAN.

The funeral of Ex-Governor Shep-
herd. on Monday, last, was notable for
the care with which the Negro was
eliminated from participation Elk
cepting a few-an excellent gentlemen
who just had to be included, like
Col. Perry Carson and hir. David War
ner and the colored High School Ca
dets. for the exclusion of whom those
who were in charge were at their wits
end for reasons, the coIored man was
conspicuous by his absence. 1t was
perhaps as well, for like thousands
of other white men, Governor Shep-
herd liked a few colored men with
whom he had been brought into per-
sonal contact, but he had no regard
for the race. 1t will be remembered
that his first prominence at claim to
distinction were due to his successful
division of the colored vote in the old
District suffrage days in the memor
able Mayoralty contest, between EN-
cry and Bowen, and the consequent
success Of the party secretly pledged to
destroy the then existing form of mu-
nicipal government and eventually
manhood suffrage. We had best keep
our memories with us even at the
grave of a mighty man fallen.

One Gordon Macdonald of Mont
gomery, Alabama, has recently been
contributing to the Washington Post,
some extraordinary views of the pre-
sumed responsibility of Dr. Booker
t. Washington, for the appointment to
office Of Southern colored men by the
President. The Post publishes his let
ter and then proceeds to demoliSh him
in great style, showing beyond all
doubt that DR.. Washington has never
taken the initiative in a single one of
these appointments, conteniing him
self with expressing his opinion when
it was requested. The Post is a frank
and sometimes an unfair critic of our
people, but in the main it's senti-
ments are sound and timely and we be-
Heve in its sincerity.
In the present instance it does our
great leader exact justice. both as to
his relations to white men, who are
prominent in political or benevolent
circles and as to the material which
graduates from Tuskegee. Its exam
pie could be followed with profit bv
the obscure colored news editors who
are posing as great journalists and
whose stock in trade is the vilIifica-
ton of men of real mark and merit in
spired by their natural born hate and
jealousy of every worthy. enterprisine

making himself useful to his people.

A REMARKABLE MAN.

We are sending out to many sub
scribers with this weeks issue an illus
trated supplement, containing an IL
Illuminated lithograph of Rev. c. T.
Walker, now pastor of Mount Olivet
baptist Church, New York City DR..
Walker is 4 persuasive and powerful
pulpit orator and a remarkable charac-
ter. In his early life after the COM
pletion of his education. he travelled
extensively abroad, even visiting the
holy land and upon his return to this
country, wrote an interesting volume
of his travels. which was warmly COM
nended in literary circles
Beginning his career in the ministry
IN the far South, as the years have
gone by, he as grown in Christian
fervoT as he has likewise broadened
in intellectual stature. Every church
which he has served has taken new in
spiration- from his labors and the
powerful example of his righteous life.
He has the rare faculty of exciting en-
thusiasm and the rarer one of direct
ing il in healthy and wise channels.
He was called to preach while vet
student and before he had reached his
majority he found his place in the
clergy OF the baptist church AS we
consider his career it seems to have
heen inevitable that he should be Sc
leeted for the charge he now fills with
such conspicuous ability in the great
Metropolis Of the Western world. 1t
is no. alone in the religious world
that DR.. Walkers influence is felt.
Other denomination and the purely
secular world also concede his powers
and worth and point TO him as one of
the races best object lessons.
The Coiored American presents this
handsome picture of DR.. Walker first
In spirit of enterprise TO maintain
the Interest of our readers and for the
larger reason that it is the papers set
tied policy 20 bring TO the notice of the
entire race the lives and the deeds of
our exceptional men, those who stimu-
late race pride and who can exhibit
substantial results as the recompense
OF useful abor. This description fits
Dr Walker with exactness and il is
a pleasure TO point TO him and his
life Of undiminished usefulness as an
inspiration and example.
