Some of the best colored people Ia
st. Louis and some of the noted colored
visitors since the opening of the Fair
have said that there is no discrimina-
tion of any kind against colored peo-
pie at the Exposition
A prominent Doctor Of St. Louis
writes as follows to the editor of The
COlored American: 81 am sorry to
see that you have copied an editorial
from a local newspaper of this city
anent discrimination against the Ne
gro at the Worlds Fair. AS a member
of the committee, am prepared to say
truthfully that no discrimination or
any kind whatever is enacted against
our people. They can have anything
that they are willing to pay for.
You will kindly state through your pa
per that there is absolutely no dis
elimination made at the fair grounds
against any race of people,"

of the race in st. Louis, who is a tax
payer there, member of the Local Com
mittee and whose reliability can be
vouched for.

on the small incidents that occurred
from time to time, and that would re-
fleet upon the good behavior and the
intelligence of the members of the

to appreciate the value Of its news

been invited. 1t would be inconsistent
position to permit discrimination on |
"ccount of race or color. 1t is the |

IS the Intramural Railway, upon which |
, discrimination will epermitted on /
account of race or color.
The same is true of the Exhibit |

Foreign and State Buildings on the /

them All of the refreshment privileg- |
