IS MARRIAGE A FAILURE1
From Our Dumb Animals.

From Our Dumb Animals.
A Rochester, New York, editor
who is preparing an article on the
question "Is marriage failure? ?"
asks my opinion, and the following
is my answer:
December 7,I9o8.
My dear Sir:
in reply to your question, Us
marriage a failure?" I would say
that but for the devotion, unremit-
ting care, and good judgment Of my
good wife, I should have been dead
and buried fourteen years ago; and
for all that I have been able to ac-
compiish in my life-work, credit IS
largely due to her.
With kind wishes,
Yours sincerely,

EDWARD HUBBARD FORTY
YEARS 4 MESSENGER IN
THE TREASURY.

Edward Hubbard, for forty years d
messenger in the Treasury Depart
ment and formerly a slave, died at
Garfield Hospital lest week from in
juries sustained more than year ago
by a fall in the Treasury Depart
ment. He was 65 years old, and al
though born a slave, he obtained a
a practical education through individ-
ual efforts.
In 1886, when G. V. Fox, then
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, was
designated by the government to bear
to the Emperor of Russia the resoIu-
ton of Congress congratuIating him
on his escape from assassination, he
selected Hubbard as his personal at
tendant and messenger. Hubbard
was presented to the emperor, who
tried to induce him to remain in
Russia.
Hubbard could not be prevailed
upon to leave his native country.
Previous to his employment in the
navy he had been in the civil war,
and a part of the time was body
servant to Surgeon RuhleSon of the
New York volunteers.
Deceased was very active when
in health, in church, such activities
being confined mainly to the Metro
politan African Methodist Episcopal
Church. He was also an active me1I.-
Der of several societies, charitable
and fraternal, and was fortunate in
having many sincere friends.

MEMORY OF MAJOR STEARNS

MEMORY OF MAJOR STEARNS
January 8, 1909, is the centennial
anniversary of the birth of Major
George L. Stearns, who was a prom
inent member of all the important
Anti-Slavery organizations, the edi-
tor of two important newspapers, and
a man whose money and. influence
aided in every way possible in bring
ing about the abolition of slavery.
Major Stearns was instrumental
during the Civil War, also, in re-
cruiting in Massachusetts,, three reg
iments of coIored men, and rendered
similar service in Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Tennessee. He re-
ceived from Honorable E. NJ, STAN
ton, Secretary of War, special COM
mission as Major, and received from
many sources cordial expressions OF
thanks for his devoted services in
behalf of the slave. The memory OF
such men as Major Stearns ieserve:
to be commcmorated by the Negro
people. 1t is to such rare souls a:
he that the Negro is indebted fol
his present opportunities.

me Revenue Agent to compel certain
county officials to pay into the State
TeraSury one hundred thousand dol
lars improperly withheld. One year
later, having accomplished what we
had planned, l resigned this burden
and multiplicity of offices and came
to him as his companion, and, the
most pleasant duty, of confidential
secretary, which l held until his
death, from 1893, except the time
two years-when he sent me to the
Black Hills, South Dakota, as a con-
idential agent for the government,
to investigate the great corporation,
the Home Stake Mining Company,
against which l made up a claim,
after twenty months, in favor of the
United States for one million dollars
When we parted, in Mississippi, he
to come here, we decided he should
continue this course upon a scale
much broader: accordingly he en-
pIoyed a former professor of the
State University of Mississippi-a
man of great learning-as hiss tutor
at a salary of $4,000 per annum: this
course he pursued for many years.
AS his classmate and tutor l dis
covered he possessed brain of Won
derful capacity-one of the finest l
ever came in close contact with.
Under this long and systematic
training he became one of the ripest
scholars and among the best equipped
men in public life. For many years
he was in the employ of the largest
lecture bureau, and appeared before
the most cultured and critical au-
diences, and before the great educa-
tional institutions in this country.
Later in life, he became one of the
most polished and effective orators
before the public, and as a campaign
orator he scarcely had his equal.
Rarely have come in touch with
man of such wonderful resources
and in whom were wrapped up
grander possibilities.
What shall I say of the seventh
son of Oberlin, John Mercer Lang
ston, of the class of I84o and oi
Theology of 1882 He was the besI
equipped of them all-the greatest
of them all in point of attainment'
and native ability. The great agita-
tor-like Douglass; the scholar, th'
lawyer, the diplomat-the Statesman

KEEP THIS IN MIND

You often see bargains advertised
and wish that you could spare the
ready cash to take advantage of them.
Do you know that the firm now ad-
vertising the best bargains in Wash
ington tell you to do what buying
you wish and they will give you an
open account at their store?
The Peter Grogan and Sons Com
pany, of 8I7-823 Seventh street are
having their annual clearance sale
of furniture and carpets. Prices are
lower than you've ever seen them.
It's the time to buy if you want to
add anything to the furnishings of
your home. Don't let a lack of ready
money keep you from going there at
once. The Grogan people know that
there are times when anyone may not
feel like using cash for all their
needs. They Believe that a person
who is entitled to credit is entitled to
all it's benefits, and they charge your
purchases without asking any money
at the time. They trust you to pay
a little each week, or month, as you
wish, and they do not tie a firing to
the goods you buy, with any contract
or lease.
You'll find their prices lower than
those of any cash store, and every
article is of the quality they back
with a personal guaranty.
