He was dubbed "Baltimore's mayor

A letter from Col. Henry Lincoln
johnson, Recorder Of Deeds, was
cheered to the echo. The excellent
dinner served by Nv. w. Martin, the
prince of Washington caterers, was
praised by all, and it was voted that
in establishing al first-class uptown
cafe he was filing a long-felt wan and
filling it most satisfactorily.

was made up of Messrs. R. w. Thomp-

IT was the c|oncensus of opinion that
the affair should be an annual event,
and that as far as possible, the news
PAPER men and commercial forces Of
other cities should be encouraged to
follow the example so happily set at
the nations capital.
Among the themes discussed were
race leadership, race protection, town
building, home ownership, civic re-
form, education that hits the mark,
literature, art and science, the ply
losophy of social and industrial con-
ditions, medicine and surgery, finance
and trade and how to make the Ne
gro newspaper a more potent agency
for the advancement of every element
of society and how to make it such
a paying venture that the very best
men could be induced to give to it
their full time and rare talent. A
similar event in recent years has at
tracted so much favorable comment
or provoked such a profitable trend
of thought as this "three-headed"
h%armony-feat of the journalists and
their manifold clientage. The whole
town is talking about it and those
who participated have been wondering
why such ar affair had not been
thought of long before.
Mr.. j. A. Landlord acted as master
of ceremonies, and after an impress

The object of the tripartite comb
nation was to arouse a deeper interest
in the development of race journalism
and to stimulate u people to great

Gathered at the long table, where COW
ers were laid for sixty or more, were
representatives of nearly every phase
OF useful endeavor that mortal can
think of. Preachers, teachers, doc
tors, lawyers, editors, correspondents,
publishers, printers photographers,
house decorators, musicians, poets,
mechanics, inventors, book and maya
zine writer's, missionary workers, ar
chitects and builders, bakers, bankers,
stenographers, contractors and men OF
high official station, touched elbows,
with a happy impulse Of a common
brotherhood, and call went merry as
a marriage bell" Speeches were
made and in abundance, too. The
many ~utterances were not merely
flights Of picturesque oratory, to be
forgot in the moment after delivery
but each speaker had a distinct mes

OF personal experience gave the ad
dresses an educational and inspira
tional value beyond computation. M

casion was a veritable '1ove-feast,'
and generated an influence that bid
fair to be nationwide in significance
