ing to hear Mr.. Douglass speak shall
never forget thai night as long as
live"
The Douglass medallion was placed
in the capitol at Albany at the in.
stance of Charles W. Anderson, Esq,
then chief clerk of the state treasury
department and private secretary Of
the state treasurer, Hon. A. B. Colvin.
He suggested to Isaac G. Perry, a
Democrat and one of the capitol COM
missioners, who was in charge of the
capitol construction, that 1t would be
a graceful tribute to Mr. Douglass and
one which American Negroes would
appreciate If he would place medal
lion Of Mr. Douglass in one of the
groups-on pillar with those Of the
great nOtabilities who were contem.
porapeous with him. Mr.. Perry liked
the idea and at once commissioned Col
lector Anderson to have the work
done When the sculptor had COM
pleted his work Commissioner Perry
presented a copy Of the plaster of paris
model to J. E. Bruce, who donated 1t
to the famous Bethel Literary at Wash
ington, Of which Mr. Douglass was an
honored member.

Beauty of New

IS AdOrnments and Architectural Beauty
Resemble Dome of Turkish Mosque.
Medallion Of Frederick Douglass Among
Those of Other Great Americans.

The visitor to the state capitol at
Albany, N. Y, is struck upon entering
with the magnificent oriental splen-
dor of its interior adornments and
Its beautifully wrought carvings, which
are to be seen everywhere under its
great dome. The multiplicity and va
riety Of the designs which artists and
sculptors have deftly fashioned on pill
Lar and wall and ceiling seem to have
exhausted all their skill in their effort
to beautify the most costly state cap
ltol in the United States if not in the
world
The western staircase Is constructed
Of Corsehill sandstone imported from
Scotland
1t is Of light brown cOlor-almost
red. The staircase is entered from the
eastern approach to the capitol and is
also accessible from State street,
Washington avenue and Eagle street.
1t is surmounted by dome of thick
plate glass, the conformation Of which
is suggestive of the dome of Turkish
mosque. The medallions of all the for
mer governors Of the state are to be
seen, and on the caps Of the pillars
which support the staircase on each
floor are carved the heads Of men IA

AN AFR0-AMERICAN TOWN.
Named For the Noted Author and
Educator at Howard Universitv

Named For tho Noted Author and
Educator At Howard University.
Kelly Miller is the significant name
of new town site on the Trinity aud
Brazos Valley railway, in Freestone
county, Tex, about eighty-seven miles
south Of the city Of Dallas. 1t is
named for the noted educator and agi-
tator at Howard university, Washing
ton, and is to be owned and operated
by and for Afro-Amer1cans.
In the nature Of things, considering
all the surroundings, the effort to es-
tablish a town in this section to be
manned and owned by colored people
should meet with success unbounded.
There are certain governmental ideas
which should be developed, but before
they can be developed they must be
planted. There is certain respect for
law and order and governmental func-
tions which mankind must sustain, but
1t must have beginning. Under the
peculiar conditions which are the lot
Of the present generation Of colored
folk these things can have no begin
ming In a mixed community In tho
south or, for that matter, in the north.
The town site consists OF ninety
three acres, having twenty-four blocks
containing 312 lots, each block being
300 feet square. Its streets are sixty
feet wide, with fifteen foot alley in
each block. Each lot will be 80 feet
in depth, leaving sidewalk Of ten
feet. The public square will be dedi-
Gated in memory Of the noted Write
Cuney, and it is hoped that the people
Of the state Of Texas will erect mon
ument thereon in memory Of this great
man.-Dallas Express.
