Notable Event In Smoky City
Witnessed BY Thousands.
ECHOES OF FREEDOM HEARD.


Of the Race Along Many Lines-Dr.
W. B. Johnson's Stirring Address.
At the recent emancipation celebra-
ton in Pittsburg, which was witnessed
by more than 1000 people, DR.. w.
Bishop johnson, the celebrated Bap-
tist divine from Washington, was the
principal speaker. The occasion was
one of the most notable ever conduct
ed by the colored people of Pittsburg,
and the mammoth parade of floats,
representing every trade and craft,
with citizens in automobiles and car
riages, was a picturesque sight.
Mayor Magee and other prominent
citizens of Pittsburg made addresses,
and the whole affair was under the
direction Of committee of well
known colored citizens, headed by
Rev. DR.. R. C. Fox, pastor of Carron
Street Baptist church.
DR.. Johnson's address was a COM
prehensive review of the slave ques-
ton, particularly in its bearing upon
the civil war, and strong and force
ful exposition of the duties and re-
suits of emancipation upon the life of
the Negro race and the American ma
ton. DR.. johnson laid down the great
principle that moral right is omnipo-
men can resist it.
Just what emancipation meant to
the Negro, coming as he did fresh
from the horrors of slavery, was de
scribed in a vivid and convincing
manner by tie speaker, who was like
wise emphatic in enunciating certain
obligations and duties his new found
freedom imposed upon him. DIR. John
sons speech was, in part, as follows:
Viewed as to It's results, the emancipa-
tion proclamation was an overshadowing
and glorious success. 1t united the friends
or the Union. It threw into despairing
forces new life. 1t brought into the ar
mics of the Union as by magic 1900 SOL
diers from the enfranchised race. 1t was
the dcathblOw to slavery. 1t was the fin
ishing stroke of the rebellion.
The immortal Lincoln was In no sense
a smatterer. He was a profound reason
er. learned in the law. He studied and
understood the constitution of his coun-
try. He did not issue a proclamation for
sport or to be hooted at
He did not toy with the mighty con
Germs Of the republic. His every act was
governed by the spcerest convictions
guided by conscience. He was eminently
statesman. and patriotism and herosm
were his crowning virtues.
The emancipation of the slaves was the
most important and farreaching as wei
as the most equitable and humane fac,
recorded in American history. Nothing
has occurred In the long and eventful his.
tory Of the republic like the breaking OF
slavery shackles from the souls and bodies
Of the American bondsmen
1t affected the American people legally
morally, sociologically and spiritually as
no other thing had done or has dont
since. 1t was the elimination of a long
series of struggles between national sell
respect, national purity Of conscience and

WOMAN ADORNED.

Dir. Max. Bali of Clark University
concludes from the mere fact Of wom-
ems taste for adornmen,-- their love
of feathers. paint. beads. and bracelets
that the modern woman is still n say
age.
The Doctor declares that the Ameri-
can. the Partisan. the German, and the
swedish women. alike exhibit the chaf7
.ncteristics of our primitive ancestors.
He says:
when we look at some of the hats
our American women wear we cannot
but think of the ostrich, the chicken or
the hen. It brings us back to the days
Of our ancestors, when feathers were
worn by man.
Every year some new fashion comes
to remind us that woman Is sun saw
age. In France this year women are
wearing little stuffed nlghtingales' SKY
larks, thrushcs and other song BIRDS
as ornaments at their necks and on
their dainty shoes. The Chantecler hat
of fashionable women bears an extra
ordinary resemblance to the Indian
braves war feathers
The Doctor further argues that long
