LONG YEARS OF STRUGGLE.

HENRY COMPTON, THE PIONEER CATERER
OF THE WEST

The earliest recollections OF Henry
Compton date back into the swift re-
ceding days of the ANTE Bellum per-
iod lust when war was about to make
this phrase a thing of the past. lie
was a mere boy at that time, romp-
ing about a sequestered cabin IN VII
lage of Jackson county, Mo. This In
itself was not unusual, but the Dusi-
ness career of this 'boy" in after lie
is not without its charms and varied
interests to the race, as well as local
people. The tendency of public In
vestigation is to call attention to the
solid achievements by members Of the
race and disallow the empty vocifer-
ations of nameless individuals who do
nothing real, but manage to keep
themselves before the public. And SO
in making this statement about Mr.
Henry Compton as a real business
man, the thought is entertained that
we are bringing to light dignified
success of a Negro enterprise.
Mr.. Compton started life as a cook
on a steamboat plying on the M1ssis-
sippi river between st. Louis and New
Orleans, in the palmy days when the
maritime trade stood unrivaled. Here
no doubt, he acquired that culinary art
which has stood him in such good
stead, in his long experience as Cat
erer.
On coming to Kansas City he en-
gagged in the grocery business with
indifferent success. Also, he contract
ed for house moving "a business which
was fourishing at that time) but gave
it up to go into the restaurant busl
ness, which has occupied his time and
attention unto the present day, and
which has proven his success.
The "Vision of Scion" recently re
Eeased this -tTstlss>s Il see. the path oi
progress has never taken straight
line, but has always been a zigzag
course amid the conflicting courses oi
right and wrong, truth and error.
This seems to eloquently sum UP the
life work of him who is engaged in a
business which is naturally of a shift
ing nature. The restaurant business
superficially studied, is inviting, but
when engaged in, soon appears diff
cult and complicated, so much SO thai
more financial ships have grounded
upon the hidden shoals in its sea thar
any other. If you do not believe this
ask the thousands who have ventureC
on it's waters only to perish!
The 'Delmonico Cafe," of which Mr.
and Mrs. Compton are the able mana
gers, has been located in various part!
of the city, always following the trenC
of the Negro population upon which i
depends solely for its support. Whel
historic Independence avenue wa
flourishing in the late ''Nineties" i
was there (under a different name
and at one time it received the influ,
of patrons at Nineteenth and Grand
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-02-28

leaving there to locate on Twelfth
street near Charlotte, place which
fitted nicely into the economic and So
cial plan of the then thriving Church
Hill Center" Conditions changed; so
did the Delmonico Cafe, which is To-
Gated now (and has been for several
years. at 1912 e. 18th street, in the
very heart of a thickly populated
Negro district. Here, has been estab-
lished the best appointed Cafe and the
best equipped Bakery west Of Chicago
that caters to people of color eXclu-
sively.
| Mr.. Compton, whose life has been
wrapped up in his business, proves to
be a man of good sound business judg.
ment, nicely sustained by high mo-
rale of decency. Constant application
4ong laboring-aided by an ever dear
and helpful wife, he has built up the
best legitimate race institution in
Kansas City.
Mr.. Compton's reputation for keep
ing first class place is of more than
local fame, and people here are not
only aware of its high standard in
efficiency, but recognize the Delmon.
leo Cafe as the one social gathering
place where the Elite may be found.
A few of the leading facts which dis.
tinguish the "Delmonico" from all 9th.
ers are as follows:
1st.-It is the pioneer restaurant of
Kansas City for colored people Wealth
ering every condition, normal or abb
normal, for twenty years. "Restau.
rants may come, Restaurants may go,
but I go on forever" quoth Delmonico.
2d.--Its cuisine is unexcelled, af.
fording a first class service to large
patronage, which is drawn from all
parts of the city.
9d.-It is the distributing point for
Mrs, Comptonis celebrated sweet po
tatoe pies and a large variety of Bak
cry goods which have the Comptonian
stamp of excellence with daily de-
livery through the popular "Black
Belt" District, furnishing many homes
with that most important of things
Daily bread.
4th.-It employs eleven people with
an aggregate wage of over eighty dol
lars per week, thus taking front rank
as an employer of colored help by a
colored enterprise. And also taking
an advanced step toward solving the
race question on real, economic and
industrial basis.
5th.-It is the best equipped Cafe in
the city for members of the race, sur
passing many of the downtown res
! taurants in style and appointment
having every arranged facility fol
quick and efficient service. Banquets
! parties and luncheons specialized fol
; all occasions. A banquet at the Del
monico being considered classic
and means the sum total of elegance
! and quality with an attending socia
triumph.

THE EDWARDS FUNERAL.

The funeral of the late Harvey r.
Edwards held on last Sunday at AL
len Chapel at l p. m, under the au-
spices of the Masons and Odd Fellows
was one of the most impressive ever
held in this city. Scottish Rite serv-
ices were held at IL o'clock Saturday
night and were attended by a large
throng while on Sunday, in spite of
the inclement weather, three hundred
and sixteen Masons and forty-seven
Odd Fellows braved the worst bliz-
zard of the year to pay a last tribute
of respect to their chieftian and
brother. Melford's excellent Military
Band headed the procession and the
following grand officers were in at
tendance: Past Grand Master, A. X.
Chinn; Past Grand Master, r. T.
Coles; w. w. Fields, secretary of Ma
sonic Relief; Deputy Grand Master
Richard Young; Grand Lecturer, e. j..
Cooper; Grand Secretary, G. w. X.
Love; Grand Junior Warden, F. j.
Brown; Grand Senior Deacon, A. l..
Thomas; Grand Marshal, Richard Full
bright; Grand Registrar, w. H. Daw-
ley, Jr.; Grand Steward, Geo. w. Ed
wards.
Splendid resolutions on behalf OF
the Masonic fraternity were read by
Prof Joe E. Herriford. The obituary
was read by Sir w. G. Moseley; Past
Grand Master A. R. Chinn delivered a
brief address and Rev. w. H. Thomas
preached brief but brilliant sermon.
Past Grand Master Coles acted as
Master of Ceremonies. The Grand
Master, N. G. Crews, assisted by the
officers of the grand lodge, conducted
the Masonic ceremonies after the
resolutions of the Odd Fellows had
been read and the services of the
Knights Templars had been com
pleted. Owing to the severity of the
storm 1t was impossible to reach the
cemetery and the body was returned
to the undertaking rooms from
whence interment was held on Tues
day morning.

1t appears that the Cosmopolitan
Club intends to maintain the lofty po-
sition 1t has recently gained in the
minds of the public. On lost Tuesday
evening they were the hosts of stag
party with Prof. ]. Dallas Bowser as
the principal speaker. There were
also invited tewenty-three other
guests among whom were Prof. G. A.
Page, principal of Attucks School,
DIR. Bunch and r. E. L. Bailey, each
OF whom delivered a very appropri-
ate address which was immensely en-
Joyed by all present. Mr.. Bowser
had for his topic, "Idealism," which
he treated as only one of his elo.
kuence and ability could do. The
menu which was prepared by the
chairman of the entertainment com.
mittee was the subject OF much fay.
orable comment by the various guests.
1t was as follows:

MASONIC.

Some of these days some brave
Masons are going to get together
and rewrite the burial ceremonies
for each of the departments so as
not only to shorten them but to-
bring them into touch with modern
spirit.
Each ceremony appears to have
been written without regard fer amy
other and the higher the rank Ci the
degree, the longer and more tedious
ar the ceremonies. They are post
lively tiresome, especially as they
are usually carried out
There was a time when ceremOn-
les were interesting to the public
but the time has passed. What for
merly interested them now bores
them and the demand for reforms
will not be stilled much longer.
Perhaps II would be better to carry
out all the ceremonies in private,
thus shaking a better showing of
sincerity in our grief and eliminating
the physical endurance features of
our public appearances.
