Mrs. J. o. Dickens introduced a decid- edly novel and delightful mode of enter taining today, when she gave a progrt S. sive luncheon which, for beauty of con- ception. has never been rivalled. There were six small tables daintiIy set in cut glass and silver with pretty place cards, and on each table there was a large bunch of exquisite roses, on one pure | white, the next pale pink, and so on | through every shade of that color to the glowing red of the American Beauty. At the end of every course two of the ladies at each table would progress, and in this way, endless variety and amusement were obtained. Mrs. Dickens's fortunate guests were Mesdames L. H. Horn, Bes- tor Robertson, w. M. Harrison, Hunt Chamberlain. Holcombe Quill, A. w. Brooks. E. M. Robinson, Thad Partridge, E. w. Bondurant, c. S. Shawhan, E. J. B. F. Adams w. B. Patterson.

A stiff southwest wind was blowing at

 The Union passenger depot question Is the uppermost thought in the minds of many people here just at this time. As has been noted the three commercial bod ies have appointed committees to meet with the Railroad Commission of Ala bama on its arrival here, and. if possi- ble, devise some means whereby relief to the city can be obtained. The present alleged depot beyond all disputing, is the most disreputable in Alabama, and has no like in any city of Mobiles size in this country.
 Hon. F. o. Hoffman, father of the Mo- bile depot bill in the general assembly, is very aggressive in the matter and was the prime factor in having the commis- sion come to Mobile.
 There seems, by the way, to be a mix-up of dates as regards the time for the Rail- road Commission to come to Mobile. The date, as announced here, was March 12th. The Advertiser. however, in a local story this week, stated that the commission would come here March 17th. Be this as 1t may, the commissioners will, when they come, find strong argument ready for them in the interest of decent and com- modlous depot.

what could we hope for it but failure,
lamentable and absolute? The anna
teur journalist is a "genuS on1nipre-
sentiunl" whose habitation is in every
known corner of the globe-and in
some corners that are not known.
Nobody has ever been able to unite
him fraternally. He lives, as a rule,
on the excessively high plateaus in
the Land of Self Esteem. and will not
eat the food of common men. He is
sometimes found, not always, in the
editorial chair of the Weekly Effort,
a race journal devoted to the best and
everlasting interests Of the colored
race. His distinguishing mark of
Identification is, however, his positive
ly amateurSh methods of performing
the functions of journalism. In this
particular branch of world-usefulness
he is what the gamin of the street
would call a peach" But this is
neither here nor there I started out
to give a word of encouragement to

an impure heart in search of false
gods. Let me say, without more ado,
that the AnacOstia Press Association
has organized in commendable spirit,
| and deserves the sincere cooperation
of those among US who would have
things to come better than things are
today. A bumper of the wine of
the wine of fellowship to the Anacos-
tia Amateur Press Association, and
may it live long and be happy.
Speaking of journalism brings to
my mind that unique figure in the
journalistic life of the race, Tom
Fortune. I learned to call him Tom
Fortune many years ago, when he and
I were won't to take ourselves apart
from men and talk Of the things which
lay nearest to our hearts books, life,
and self-aspirations. And it is with
much pleasure that I see him coming
to his own in these days of stress and
travail. Partly because of the high re-
gard 1 have always had for the mans
courage and disinterestedness in a
wider and larger measure though, be-
cause he has labored in all seasons to
give character and the strength Of
we'll defined purpose to his life's work.
He is not the father of Afro-American
journalism but he is, nevertheless, its
saviour. The Globe gave us the first
indication of the possibilities of race
journalism. It was in the late seven
ties, as / remember it now, that the
Globe was born. And with it came the
''new era," the new blood that has
since brought to the race the fresher
inspiration to stand on both feet IN
the effort to find a place in the com
prehensive economy of American life.
There was a healthy, aggressive egoism
in the attitude of the Globe toward
men and affairs that was refreshing
