E. Tracy Blagburn the Victim Of Colo
Prejudice in Opera House.

Mr.. E. T. Blagburn, one of our
highly respected citizens and one OF
the best known of our men who has
been employed as draughtsman In
the civil engineers Office for fifteen
years and now chief clerk in that de-
partment, was elected from the Fam
lily theater on Fifth and Locust streets
last Friday afternoon, because the
proprietor of said theater tried to
force Mr.. Blagburn to sit in certain
quarters set aside for colored people.
This Blagburn refused to do, when the
proprietor of the theater ordered him
arrested and VIM. Br0Wnson, Q desk
sergeant, made the arrest, taking Blag-
burn out Of the theater on, the side
walk and turning him loose. falling
to take him to the police station, or
to even file any charge against him.
Blagburn files charges against the
officer for neglect OF his sworn duty.
He also filed charges against M. Mil
Iislowsky, proprietor of the theater,
charging assault. We, as well as the
public, shall watch the termination
Of these cases for we know Mr.. Blag-
burn to be in the right, and we hope

to stand for it a minute. Let us lend
our moral support and unite to assist
Blagburn in this case for the winning:
of this case means much to the f.l-5

It! The idea Of foreigner, who ,is
hardly a citizen in our country, who:
can never and will never speak our
language, an alien, to draw the color
line. we must stand together against
any one who may try to discriminate
against us upon the ground OF color

in which the blood of our forefathers
was spilled to maintain them-be en-

The New York evangelistic commit
tee, with headquarters In New York. is
one Of the strongest religious organiza-
tions in the world and has for its OBJ
ject the holding Of revivals and cons
ductfng religious campaigns in the
large cities Of the country. It was the
spread Of the work of the evangelistic
committee among the colored people
Of the large centers that necessitated
the appointment Of member Of the
race to conduct revival meetings.
DR.. Buffers effective work on the
streets Of New York in the thickly
populated colored districts has doEe
much for the moral and religious up
lift Of the race. Reference may be
made to the San Juan Hill district,
reputed to be the worst section in the
city.
The tone Of this community has been
greatly improved since DR.. Buffers ef-
fective campaigns. 4.
The evangelistic committee has clos
ed its summer campaigns. At the
converts rally. held at Carnegie hall
recently, which was attended by fully
5000 people, the work Of DR.. Butler
was especially commended by the
committee. a ..,s. ss vi
Dr.. Butler told Of the many colored
communities which have been helped
since the work was started. DR..
Buffers success as an evangelist Is
due to his forceful and earnest man
ner, which is convincing and never
fails to leave a decided impression.
DR.. Butler is amply prepared for
his life's work. He was born In Will
sonville Ala. After attending the pub
lie schools he went to Talladega col
lege, from which he graduated. After
doing special work at Maryyille col
lege he entered the theological depart
ment Of Lincoln university, from
which he was graduated In 1899.
In 1902 he came to st. James Pres
byterian church, where he remained
Nght years The church had wonder
fsl growth under DR.. Butler, moving
from hallin West Thirty-third street
to handsome brick edifce IN West
Fifty-first street costing $4,000.
The membership increased from
small flock Of twenty members to a
congregation Of 400. DR.. Butler was
.preyailed upon to remain at st. JanAAs'
church, but fqt that he could do
greater esod as IN evangelist. He has
planned an extensive campaign for
the fall and winter. which will carry
him over large territory.

Napoleon had singular rage for
pulling childrens ears. sometimes so
hard as TO make the poor children cry.
Caroline was very vexed when she
saw her little Achille the victim of his
uncle's caresses. and more than once
her sons tears made her weep too.
One day the First Consul. pulling the
ears of the little fellow. hurt him. and
he cried out. To teach him not to cry
his uncle pulled his ear again, harder.
Achille. having freed himself, came
back to him In fury and, raising his
little fist. shouted:
You are villain. a wicked. wicked
villainr
To prove the contrary Napoleon
should have embraced his nephew and
made him forget the pain he had gra-
tuitously inflicted by some show of af.
fection. But tenderness was not In
his character. Corslcans scarcely know
what it means. and, though Napoleon
used to say, IL am less of Corsican
than one thinks" he was really more
so than any one or he himself thought.
Instead Of quieting his nephew he be-
came angry and gave him a violent
slap on the face. The child ran weep
