Why Burns Did Not Emigrate.
An unusually graceful tribute was
paid to DR.. s. Weir Mitchell at a re-
zen celebration. DR.. Mitchell had de-
livered a speech about Robert Burns
and had told u seldom repeated story
of how Burns had planned to emigrate
to the United States, even having his
trunk packed and his passage engaged.
He did not say, however, how it came
about that Burns did not ONE Short
~ afterward DR.. Talcott Williams in
responding to a toast interpolated the
following:
Before l begin my regular toast !
wish to refer to DR.. Mitchelrs remarks
about Burns. He told us how Burns
had decided to emigrate, but he stop
ped when it came time to tell why he
did not do so. l wish you all to know
| that it was through the loving thought
| fulness of DR.. Mitchell's grandfather
| who provided means for Burns to live
in Scotland, that he did not come. As
you know so we'll, DR.. Mitchell Is toe
modest to refer to deeds of his owr
amily."-Philadelphia Times.

A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.

The acquittal by Justices Moss and
Zeller-with Justice O'Keete v1gor-

the brutal assailant of Booker /.
Washington last March 10, was an
outrageous miscarriage of justice. 1t
is but another evidence OF the uneven
handed Justice meted out to colored
citizens by courts OF law North as
well as South. No man could have
sat through the trial of the Eleventh
avenue gang leader, accused dog thief
and admitted wife and child deserter,
have heard the record of the mlser-
able wretch completely exposed IN
court, then have seen his word as to
the act of assault taken against that OF

WHAT THE ST. LUKES ARE
DOING.

The gospel meeting of St Lukes,
was held at St. Paul A. NJ. Z. Church,
9Th street, s. w last Sunday after
noon, and, despite the rain, there was
a fair attendance Miss NJ. A. d. Madre
presided. Rev Chas. H. Young, pas
tor of the church, delivered the vel
come address which was happily re
sponded to by Mr. NJ. M. Peace. The
church choir rendered several choice
selections. After devotional exercises
Miss Moxley read a paper giving an
interesting account of Perry Carson
Council Of which she is the degree
chief. Mrs. Mollie Roberts repre-
sented Orion Council and spoke Of
its progress. Mr.. Stance ]. TrOtter
told of the good work the St. Lukes
are doing in helping to advance the
moral and material welfare OF the
race. Mrs. Sarah Barton, assistant
secretary of St Luke Hall AssOcla-
ton, read a splendid essay on Kind
ness which was well received.
Rev. Chas. H. Young, pastor OF st.
PauPs Church, deserves much credit
for the successful work he is doing
among his congregation and people
of South Washington. The object of
these gospel meetings is to awaken
and keep alive active piety among its
membership and the community as
well as to present the claims of the
order of ST. Luke to the consldera-
ton, encouragement and support OF
the good people of this city.

MISS MURRAY.
Howard Graduate Complimented.

(From The Cairo, H., High School
AutOcrat)
In securing the services OF Miss
Alice Porter Murray as teacher OF
Domestic Science, Summer High
School has been more than fortunate
in having at the head of that depart
ment one of the most efficient and
scholarly of the race A young
woman upon whom it can be de-
pended to raise the standard Of her
department to a higher degree OF ct
fciency.
Miss Murray is the youngest daugh-
fer of Hon. P. H. Murray, Editor Of
the St Lotus Advance. She gradu-
ated with high honors from Howard
University, Washington, D. Z, May
18th, 1910, with the degrees of Bach
eior Education and Bachelor of Arts.
Her training along the special line
of her profession has been thorough,
having specialized in Domestic
Science from the Washington ele-
mentary schools through her univer-
sity career.
Miss Murray is generously gifted
with the quality of mind and tempera-
ment which forms goods teachers
and leaders of others less blessed,
added to these are special fitness and
broad training kindness of heart and
general disposition which assures her
success in her chosen field. Besides
this, Miss Murray has a special bent
for the study of sociology and polite
al economy which together with keen
interest and aptitude for literature
and journalism would of themselves
make her a strong force IN the edu-
cationai world. Summer High School

Washington, D. c.

Rev. Alexander Walters, New Berne,
N. C.
My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of
your favor of the 9th inst, enclosing
a communication from the New York
Age
The statement made in that article
is untrue
At the beginning of the session we
reduced the number of employees of
the House about seventy-fve. It is
true that a few of these positions
were held by colored men, but the
reductions were made without regard
to the color of the individual holding
the places In fact, seven offices held
by white men were abolished to every
one filed by a COlOred man.
You will see, therefore, that there
is no justification for the statement
that Negroes were dismissed, that
their places might be filled by white
men, nor that there was any discrimi-
nation against men of either color.
Tt is true that a position known as
assistant stenographer to commit
tees. which had been in existence a
number of years. was abolished 1t
happened that this place was filled
by a colored man. Mr. Johnson, who,
while he had rendered service to the
Speaker, had never performed any
duties with the regular stenographic
force. I will say that there are a
number of Negroes holding places
here now, and so far as | have in
formation. in no instance has a Ne
GRO baa,, dicDlocad nv n y4-bite ,,,o.,
It is the purpose of the Democrats
to treat the Negro fairly and to dis
criminate against no one, and one
thing is sure that the Democrats have
as much concern for the welfare of
the colored people as have the Re
publicans; in fact, as a rule, when a
colored man wants a favor from a
white man. he goes to a Democrat
] to get it. Sincerely yours,
JAMES T. LLOYD.
