friends. At this brilliant observance of
his eighth decade upward of seventy
FIVE of his old and young comrades
were in attendance, and many beautiful
and useful presents were brought by
them in remembrance of the days. that
were. One striking feature, construct
ed by his daughters, Mrs. r. F. Lang
ston and Mrs. Mahoney, was a snow
white pyramid, made up of eighty can
dies, and when these were lighted
most brilliant effect was produced. It
was quite significant likewise that there
was present Mr.. James Shorter. who
was groomsman at the wedding of Mr..
Jackson ffY-three years ago. The late
Mrs. Jackson died few years ago,
lacking but six months of rounding out
an even half-century, and grand gold
en- wedding anniversary had been plan
ned to mark the triumph over the years
but fate willed it otherwise Mr.. Jack
son is hale and hearty, loves young
company, and from his appearance and
Jovial manner no one would accredit
him with having lived long past the
three -and-ten reputed to be the
natural span of human life. His espe-
cial favorite in the family is Miss Net
tie n Langston, the beautiful and ac-
complished granddaughter of the late
Congressman John NJ. Langston, whose
fame is known throughout two conti-
nents. There is no reason to doubt that |
Mr. Jackson has before him many more
years of usefulness, and he is the re-
cipient of hearty congratulations at the
hands Of his friends.

Preparations are already well under
way for the opening of the theatrical
season. The theatre has been leased for
long term of years, with an option
to purchase in case the venture turns
out as the promoters confidently believe
it will.
Prof w. J. Nickerson, composer and
musician of note himself, is president
Of the company. He says:
Several of the best road shows have
already been booked, among which are
{ the Black Patti Troubadours, the Dandy
Dixie MinstreIs, Richards & Pringle's
Georgia Minstarels, etc. The greater
, part Of the season, however, will be fill
ed with stock company composed of the
! best local performers and vaudeville and
specially performers from the North.
This company will play bright, tunefui

of the plays which have been so sue

pany at Mr.. Motifs Theatre in Chicago.
One of the plays now under rehearsal
is The Two African Princes, by J. Ed.
Green, the cOlored playwright, now
known as the Black Belasco'
"The plays will be staged with a fine
cast, special sceRery, new costumes, and
the latest music, some of which has been
especially written for these productions.
Negotiations have been entered into
with other big shows, such as Cole and
Johnson, Ernest Hogan, Williams and
Walker. cts, and it is safe to say that
these and other big productions not seen
in New Orleans before will be here al
the Eysium this season.
NO expense IS being spared to make
a complete success of this venture" adds
Professor Nickerson. Our intention IS
to give to the public playhouse where
entertainment and enjoyment of high
order will always be found and good
order will be strictly maintained.
Another thing which the corporation
proposes launching IS park for col
ored people, modelled after the latest
improvements, where oolored people can
find enjoyment of suitable and re-
spectacle nature. No site as yet has
been selected"

ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF
PRINCE HALLS BIRTH

In
In accordance with its usual custom,
Prince Hall Lodge, No. Ii, of this jul
Iisdiction, commemorated On the 18th
instant, at Irvng's Hall, the I5oth ami
versary of the birthday OF Prince Hall,
the founder of Masonry for colored men

The affair, which took the form of a
stag entertainment this year. attracted
a creditable portion of the Lodges mem
bers who had as their guests the follow
ing friends and well-wishers of this and
other Jurisdictions Brothers R. w.
Tyler, auditor for the navy; Maj. c. w

more, the presiding officer, Brother w.
E. Cobb, W. NJ, in a few well-chosen
words of welcome. introduced the speak
ers of the evening. Brother r. H. Ter
rell, Past Or. NJ, started the intellec-
tual ball rolling in his own familiar hap
py vein. His suggestion that the Lodge
inaugurate the annual practice of for
warding funds for floral tribute to be
placed On Prince Halls grave each Dec
Grafton Day, was heartily approved, and
no doubt will be adopted. Brother F.
]. Cardozo, P NJ, was next called on,
and he counseled the cultivation of a
healthier feeling of Lodge pride and a
closer attention to the Masonic work.
Brother J. A. Johnson, the Nestor of
the Lodges Past Masters, paid glow
ing tribute to Prince Halls noble char
acter and life as a liberty-loving man.

search into the genesis of Masonry was

Negro Seeking 10 KHO5g.
The Negro is seeking to know Send
him the right kind Of light and he will
know What was it that changed the
race from savagery to barbarism from
barbarism to civilization? The copying
of habits and customs from those who
did know, the desire within themselves
to know, the striving after a higher and
nobler life, as it was taught by precept
and example Every step onward in
civilization is finding and applying truth.
The command is work out your own
salvation" To do this, individual and
race will rise only upon its own merits.
To curb the mind and dwarf the soul
and develop only the body is not build
ing a perfect specimen of manhood.
Teach the Negro history, if he is to
be citizen of this republic. History
teaches him the love of Christ, the beau
W of patriotism, the growth of nations,
the cause of their downfall. and last, the
conditions from which he was lifted, no
matter how nor where, into the present
state. II is a struggle and bloodShed
of a nation for his uplift, and makes
him feel that he must put the noblest
influences into human life The condi-
ton that confronts us will grow more
complex until We give more attention 90
the development of the spiritual and
moral side.
Prominence of Race Problem.
Among the problems that have been
thrust into prominence within the past
few years is what is called the race
problem. This is not the time to dis
cuss it. This is the same problem at
which all people have worked, and at
which the Anglo-SaxoS race must con-
tinue to work So the Negro finds him
self at low point in the sale of life,
and true to the voice of the human soul
he wants to go up higher, not that he
may go into the society of other races,
but that he may be fit to associate with
himself. In the supreme struggle the
politician will reach no hand out 10 him,
the. social spirit will give no help, the
industrial spirit will lend NO assistance,
but the God-spirit should speak to him
helping word and reach out to him a
helping hand. This race issue will test
the moral quality of this nation, and il
It finds no settlement the failure will be
= moral failure and show the point al
Which our civilization broke down the
