study of Judge Pritchard's rulings in
the recent rate cases, and of the Con-
stitution of the United States, and will
expound that part Of this memorable
document which supports his views. He
is the author of a pamphlet covering a
wide range of facts and figures pertain
ing to the political status of the Ne
gro,- and is a walking bureau Of in
formation as to the conditions of the
Negro in general. The general pub
lie should not fail to hear what might
prove 10 be the very remedy which has
been so long sought for by the colored

Four-and-a-half streets southwest, there
were several hundred present at the con-
cert given by Madame Gertrude Brown
Cason. one of Washington's most gift
ed singers, who has recently returned
from a musical tour in New England

ing as follows:

The audience expressed much regre
at the inability of DR.. W. J. Howard
pastor, to be present at the opening Q
the exercises. The singing Of the S
Paul Church choir was fairly good, bu
The Washington bee., 1907-11-02

the defects in the singing were more
than compensated for by the splendid
bearing and appearance or the dozen
or more pretty girls of which the choir
is composed.
Madame Henrietta Vinton Davis was
heartily received by the audience. She
appeared in resplendent theatrical cos
tune, with diamond neckalce and brace
let. and maintained her well established
reputation as an elocutionist and dra-
matte reader.
Prolonged applause followed the ap-
pearance of the musical star Madame
Gertrude Brown Cason, each time she
appeared on the rostrum. She has a
wonderful range and volume, and she
is destined to beome a "prima donna"
and musical star of the first magni-
tude.
The address of Mrs. Julia H. Layton
was full of sound and wholesome advice,
and was heartily approved by the audi
ence.
The celebrated Amphion Glee Club
was faultlessly represented by the Am
phion Quartette-Prof J. Henry Lewis,
and Messrs. Beale, Champ and Wash
ington. They were vociferously encored
and appeared before the lights" FIVE
times Their work was perfect
The audience also showed its appre-
citation of the work of Mrs. Jennie Har-
ris, Miss Rosa A. Bell and Mr.. George
Brown, the laughing singer"
