Of the eight mattresses at his hotel TO
strike in a body as a result OF what they
regard as imposed duties.
IL is customary for the mattresses at
the Matunuck hostelry to enjoy their
freedom during the afternoon hours be-
tween dinner and supper. Thus far the
custom has not been tsmpered with this
season. Yesterday. however. large
party showed up at the hotel at 4:30 in
the afternoon and wanted dinner served

Mr.. Carpenter immedia tely besought the
Mattresses and cook 20 get busy"--and
was promptly told that that time in the
afternoon wasn't proptious for waiting
and that there would be nothing doing
until supper time.
Argument only served to increase the
determinstio Of the servants and they
finally announced to the irate manager
that they would seek new fields OF ac-
tivty en- masse on Saturday evening
Afterwards Mrs Carpenter tried TO
calm the turbulent spirits Of the walter
ladies and the report IL that they have

IN DEFENCE
OF THE
NEGROES

At an address delivered in the Congdon
Street Baptist church last evening. DR..
J. l.. Birchet proved himself an able and
eloquent speaker and for over an hour
held the close attention OF his auditors
by his mastery and we'll ordered defence
OF his race.
The subject was THE Self Respect and
Capability of the Negro and his Relation
to this Government" His remarks were
not free from caustic disapproval OF
certain members Of the race and the
sporting propsnsities Of one portion OF the
race were subjected to severe criticism.
DR.. Birchet said that the negro wanted
absolute Justice before the law, and he
said that he deserved IL for the work he
has done for his country, not only as
laborer. but as soldier ard man
The two following excerpts from Or.
Birchett's address seem 10 be particularly
interesting.
I'm the first place the negro race Is
as good 2 race God ever made. While
all OF the qualifications necessary TO man
hood are born in a man. the negro has
many which have not been developed.
They lie dormant and should be brought
out by cultivation. The Bible shows that
on the morning of time we were all on a
common footing. and that common foot
ing yet exists. The cther race claims TO
be descended from Shem and We are de-
scended from Ham. We'll. Shem and Ham
were brothers and that makes us hrst
cousins. doesn't it,
"rf we are equal. why, then. is there
the great difference? We have forgotten
to respect ourselves as God foreordained
II we are 10 he respected we must respect
ourselves. and not make the great mis-
great qualities for manhood. Our young
men do not seek advancement. How
many are trying TO improve themselves
and make themselves capable OF demand
ing that respect which they deserveT How
many are seeking learning and not try
ing TO impress others that they know all
that there is 10 know? Too many Of
them enjoy a sporting life. with such ac-
compa niment as cigars. beer and cigar
cites They want 10 be considered In
that class.
DR.. Birchett is young man and Is
pastor of the Zion Baptist church in New
York city.
