STRANGE DISCRIMINATION

The Howard Theatre at Washing

prising policy-that of carrying an
advertisement in the white newspa
Pers of Washington, but declining to
advertise in any of the Colored news
papers in that city. Mr.. Thomas
does this in the face of catering to
Colored patrons exclusively and ask
ing Colored theatregoers to attend
his house. If the alleged Colored
owners and managers of the Howard
Theatre meet with failure no com

and those who knew him best Lowell
him most. He made no attempt at
display, but in a quiet manner did
his own thinking, lived his own life,
and followed his own Star. His
chief interest always centering and
being in his home and with his fam
lily, his conception of right were too
exact to permit of disguise or fawn-
ing, he lived in work, in thought, in
love, in meditation. He believed in
life beyond the grave, and | am sat

He was all that father, husband and
friend imply. And now farewell,
brave and tender husband; thy low
Eng heart has ceased to beat; thy
busy brain is still, your brave, tender
life, helped to bear the load of all
you knew; and now will let my love
have its way while l set down this
one more feeble tribute to your men,
