Lincoln and Douglass
A part of last nights session at the
Armstrong Night High School, P St.
between First and Third northwest, was
devoted to exercises in honor of Abra-
ham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass,
and a large number of the parents and
friends of the students assembled for the
purpose of paying grateful tribute to
| the memory of these two distinguished
patriots whose lives, said Principal Da-
us, furnish two striking examples of
| the possibility Of American boys. re-
gardless of color, rising from poverty,
ignorance and Obscurity to the wealth
of honor which is better than riches,
and to cultu1e and great usefulness
among mankind, which are more to be
desired than fine gold.
The program consisted of appropri-
ate quotations, and the singing of the
favorite songs of Lincoln and Douglass
by the student body. Dr. w Bruce
Evans, assistant director of the Even
ing School, evoked great applause when
he referred to them as two of Amer
ica's nOblest men and two of the great
est benefaCtors of the human race that
ever lived since the Man of Sorrows
freely gave his life for others.
Lieut.. Thomas H Clarke, the prin-
cipal speaker of the evening, delivered
an address upon Frederick Dauglass"
and spoke in part as follows:
The way of the reformer Is hard

gram of the reformer, then do We reach
those crises which change the current
of history and which profoundly af-
feet the destiny Of man.
we meet here tonight to celebrate,
if not the anniversary at least the mem
ory of a reformer, whose career was
romantic and wonderful, yet full of
stern realities-Frederick Douglass. He
too had his prison, having been betray-
ed in a conspiracy TO escape with two
other bondmen from the despOtism of
slavery. When John Brown seized the
arsenal at Harper's Ferry, he was fore
ed to flee the United States, lest under
State comfy he be extradited by Vir-
s.:sia and sent to the scaffold, perhaps
as cOnspirator against the laws of
the State. This fight from the United
States to England caused him, in one
of those irresistible bursts of eloquence
later to say: I fed from the talons of
the American eagle TO find safety and
iepose in the name of the British IL
on.
His denunciation of slavery affected
people as that of no other anti-slavery
speaker because his tongue of flame
was kept burning by intimate personal
knowledge of the horrors and depravity
of the system. How many thousands
of converts are accredited to his elo-
quence can never be known, but it is
