Robert r. Church, Sr., one of the
wealthiest citizens In Memphis and
considered the wealthiest Negro in
the south, died at his late residence,
1884 Lauderdale street, Memphis, Tenn.
The deceased, who was "a years old,
had been Ill eighteen months. He re-
tired from business last October and
was succeeded by Robert r. Church.
Jr. The Memphis Commercial Appeal
gives the following account OF Mr..
Church's career: THE singular cir
cumstance of a Negro, born slave,
rising from cabin boy on a Mississip-
pi river steamboat to the mastery Of
fortune estimated at million dol
lars made him a conspicuous charac-
ter, and the news of his death was re-
sions of interest and enterprise.
Church's life reads like a page born
from fiction. He came to Memphis
years ago. Thrift and industry un
commonly marked, coupled with a
keen insight and keen business abil
ity, made him quickly recognized as a
man of uncommon business ability.
His word was as good as his bond. He
came to Memphis from Holly Springs.
Miss. For a while he worked around
the livery stables here and later he
went into the saloon business. Here
he got his start. His savings we're
gradually invested in real estate. One
purchase followed another. He saw
with prophetic eye great city, and
he knew that some day his property
would be valuable. He rarely II ever
sold. Conservative estimates are that
he left between 200 and 300 houses in
various parts of Memphis. The bulk
of them are in the Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth wards. According to one in au
thority, his monthly income from his
rentals amounted to $4,000 alone. He
owned a subdivision of 1876 acres on
the Raleigh car line east of Memphis
and WAS founder and first president of
the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust
Company, the first Negro financial in
stitution of the city. Church's Park
on Beale avenue is also his property
Though no unusual deeds of charity
or munificence are credited to him.
yet 1t is known that he was a chari-
table man. He lived simply, though
he could have easily outshone many
man in the ostentatious display of lux
ury. He went about his work quietly
and kept poise that marked him as
a man of extraordinary common sense
The late John Overton, John CASTOR
and the late Col. Josiah Patterson
were his friends. Sid M. Neely was
his closest adviser.

AFRO-AMER|CAN CULL|NCS

A negro boy in Canton, Texas, has
proved himself real hero, and there
are two happy parents in the vicinity
of the little town who feel that they
can never pay the debt of gratitude
they owe him for the rascue Of their
child. Little Calvin Stepp, child of
three years, fell into a sixty-foot well.
1t was dry and had been abandoned,
but was insecurely covered Owing to
the fact that the we'll was very mar
row (13 inches in diameter), the child
struck from side to side, breaking
the force Of the fall. Strange as 1t
may seem, the little one was un-
harmed. Its voice could be heard call
ing: Tome dit me out!" The mother
insisted on being lowered into the
well, and made a desperate effort to
descend, but her shoulders could not
be forced through the narrow opening.
For two hours or more fruitless at
tempts at rescue continued, when FL
bert Gray, thirteen-year-old negro
lad, arrived at the we'll 'Ill go down."
he said. A rope was fastened about
him, and he was lowered to the bottom
of the well. He grasped the child by
the sleeves of its dress and the two
were raised forty feet, when the cloth
tore apart, and the child fell to the
bottom again. The bravo negro boys
head was bruised and bleeding when
he was drawn to the top, but he was
eager to try again.
A loop was fastened about his
ankles and he was lowered into the
well head down. He carried a rope
with which he made moose under the
baby's arms. Both were then drawn
to the top, neither very much injured.
Cheers from the crowd and fearful
thanks from the parents greeted the
negro and s25 was raised for him on
the spot and a much larger sum was
given him in town.-Grit.

Perhaps unappreciation of the col
ored journal comes more from the
fact that but few persons actually
read all it's columns. remarks the Illi-
nois Chronicle. A hasty glance at the
headlines, a peep at the editorials and
skimming of the locals constitute
the average readers attention to the
weekly Issue. The opinion from such
cursory reading then follows that the
negro paper is no good-no news
not worth reading" Give the papers
change to prove their worth. Brains
are put into them; use your brains to
get the substance out of them. Read
them carefully, not one issue, but sew

statement shows that there were 94,-
446 blacks and 32,952 mulattoes in
1870 as against 1852 blacks and 49,
S36 mulattoes in 1890. The growth
of the number of mulattoes does not
imply an increasing intermixture be-
tween whites and blacks, since chill
dren born of marriages between
blacks and mulattoes would be mulat-
toes, according to the census defini-
ton 1t will be seen that Washington
has 127,398 Negroes, the Negro popu-

.LONSDALE ACTIVE

HOT SPRINGS BOY BUSY WITH FINANCIAL AFFAIRS, FINDS

Politics Also IS Side Line of This Young Democrat Who Was
 Member of SuIzer Committee.

Those who knew John c. Lonsdale in Hot Springs, when just after grad
 uating in the public schools, inImed- lately began to take an active part in municipal improvement, politics, and public affairs, will follow with in- terest the announcement that in New York, the American metropolis, he is still a leader and a man of affairs, and that he is fast becoming among the first citizens of Gotham.
 Man of affairs in financial matters philanthropist, and politician, all are filled now by Lonsdale. When there came up a three-cornered fight for the governorship of New York, a Business and Professional Mems League" was started for the purpose of assisting and furthering the cam paign of the democratic nominee, MT. Sulzer, who has since been elected.
 mittee of about 25 from this league,
 Lonsdale is close to the top of the list.
 In the Financial Age" a publi- cation devoted to doings in the finan- cial world of New York, the follow ing shows how Lonsdale finds time for other work:
 Despite the incessant demands up- on his time and energy which active life in the financial district imposes,
 John G. Lonsdale, member of the Stock Exchange firm of Logan & Bryan. is evidently not too busy to listen to the call of suffering human ity, for he has been elected trus- tee of Flower Hospital, this city"
 And with all this success and ali this busy life. John Lonsdale always finds time to be a hospitable host to his friends of boyhood days who go to New York, and he always finds the inclination to contribute to the up- building of Hot Springs and her in- stitutions, for in several of the big movements of recent years here, Lonsdale's name has been written as. the giver of splendid subscription.

 Promptly at eight o'clock the heavy portiers of the reading room were drawn aside, revealing the exquisite tree, glittering in it's splendid array of silver and gold. and lighted with "a thousand candles"
 There was no Santa Claus. as the company were principally grown ups" Messrs Gates and Martin were much more attractive as they smilingly presented each guest with the many happy remembrances which reached from the treetop to the floor and the overflow piled high at its base

 Long before the time announced as the dinner hour at the Salvation Army headquarters there was a stream of unfortunate humanity vending it's way to this hospitality. Adjustant Howard was in charge, and the outer doors were kept closed until the long tables had been well arranged, and then the first were let in, and after they had fed sumptuous- ly. they were let out, and others streamed in, until there were several hundred fed there.
