DEATH OF A PIONEER WOMAN.

Mrs. A. E. Patrick, a well-known
resident of Oakland, died in Tacoma
quite suddenly last Monday morning
August 8. She had been in poor health
for about a month, being stricken
blind, but was regaining her sight
when the final summons came. She
went north about three years ago and
was making her home with her grand
son, Leon Dumas. She was possessed
of strong vitality for one who had
passed her four score years, and
seemed to thrive in Tacoma, She came
to California in early days and lived
in Sacramento, San Francisco and
finally Oakland, where she bought IA
home and lived and enjoyed the same
until her departure for Tacoma short
while ago. She was well known in the
community and had many friends here.
She was a native of Philadelphia. She
leaves a sOn-in- law in Oakland, James
Dumas; a grandson, Roland Dumas,
and in the north grandson, Leon
Dumas, and a daughter, Willette jack
SON The body will be placed in a
vault for the present at Tacoma and
later brought to Oakland for inter

MASONIC.
Message from the Chaplain Of White
Lodge in Detroit. Mich.

Men who think at all are think
ing seriously these days. Almost
in a single moment our ideals and
hopes have been shattered Whole
sale murder and anarchy run. led
by those who believe III the divine
right of kings aud military glory.
Where is our boosted Christianity
aud human brotherhood They
are lmpotent i'll the mad hoodtide
of bestial passion. Some day the
sun will shine again, and some day
peace viii. come Some day the
manhood Of civliz alton will triumph
over royalty and militarism. The
lesson for US Masons in this hour
is plain. We must strive to be rid
of all prejudice and harsh judgment
against our brother. These things
never become true Mason.
Nothing is SO quick to breed
hatred and war as ignorance and
prejudice, personal and racial. In
The United States to-day, we have
need to think OF this, for SO many
problems confront our national life
and oar social adjustments that
we take prejudiced views before we
are aware For the good OF men
and OF Masonry, let US be just aid
fair. Because his color is different,
his religious creed is expressed i'll
other words, his language foreign,
his customs unfamiliar, his clothes
oddly cut, because he is not quite
like us, does not make him less
brother, for his blooi is red, just
like ours, and his heart beats with
the same aspirations for life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. To
be less than brother TO him is un-
Masonic, I'M A American and 10 say
or do anything which will arouse
prejudice against him is conduct
unworthy Of every man.

DECREASING HATRED
lCOLORED VIRGINIAN

III spite Of all occasional lynching
here and there. general sentiment,
especially in the South, grows more
favorable 10 the Negro race Even
lynching IS no longer the barometer
of race relationship that it once was
because it has been demonstrated
repeatedly of late that a mob knows
no race or color. In Georgia, hot
bed of mop violence, two white men
have been lynChed this year, and
the former governor Of the State
was forced 10 flee because he was
threatened with bullet and moose
Thus it is plainly apparent that
isolated cases of lynching where
Negroes are concerned are not
particularly signs Of general hostil
ity TO the race In fact, not half so
much as the general practice of this
method is indicative of a growing
tendency toward the degeneracy of
the white race.
The bitterness engendered by the
civil war is rapidly passing. and
wilh it the memory Of the issues
responsible therefor. New genera
tons of the white South to-day are
taking a more passive and practical
view than their predecessors, aud
that dark period Of blood and strife
between sections is more aud more
being coldly regarded as history.
Negro slavery, they have been
forced to admit, could not have
longer existed aud they realize that
its adjustment was the the most
providential thing id the nations
history.
AS the years 60 by. we believe
that prejudice on account of race
and color will continue to grow less
that it will more definitely assume
the form it is taking Oh to-day
that OF race rivalry. 1t will ther
not be regarded as the fight of {
superior against al inferior but o.
man against man. a survival of The
fttest. and the laws of nature, mo-
of man, will determine the out
come.

PROF. n. r. HEALING TO BE AT
6ETHEL.

In keeping with her policy, Bethel
will give the citizens and friends an
opportunity to hear another great man
Of the race.
The pastor has spared no pains or
labor in securing the very cream of the
visitors to the city and exposition to
preach or speak to his congregation
and the people have shown their APP
probation of his efforts and considera-
ton of the strangers within our gates
by turning out en- masse to hear and
see them.
The next in the long list of distin-
guished and really representative mer
to be heard in Bethel is the brainy
president of Western university, Quin-
daro, Kan, Prof. H T. Healing, who
will preach Sunday morning at IL
o'clock, and lecture before the Literary
society Tuesday evening next Sub
ject, What Should Man Weigh?'
Z Prof. Healing is witty and humorous
as he is wise and logical San Fran
cisco's entire population should turn
out to hear him.

and R. Pharrow, both of Atlanta,
as we'll as by others. The charges
included the usurpatiou of power,
investing funds III the Odd Fellows

aud keeping A Graves out of the
the order. Graves was expelled
from the order five years ago, but
the sub committee ordered his le-
instateulenl at lis January meeting

ever, as those at the helm in
Georgia decided that he must be

TEXAS SAVAGES
GsAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

Blood lust, not justice. Is the
impelling motive in such deeds as
the burning of the Texas Negro
suspected of numbering the Grimes
children. Revenge is the central
idea Of such punishment, not the
deterrent force Of example. Saw
agery is its source and accompani
ment. A man can suffer no greater
punishment than the loss of life.
Infliction Of suffering with death
adds nothing TO the force of the

men and women alike, waited by
thousands while the man was being
examined, then took him and thrust
him into the flames. He begged
for time enough to tell his story,
but the bloodthirsty crowd would
not wait. After the fire had died
down, the mob vented the rest of
its barbarism upon the mutllated
body.
The deed links its perpetrators to
wild Indians. The aborigine tor
tured his captives and mutilated
their bodies. In one respect, how
ever, he was more decent After
the ceremonies Of rejoicing for the
victory were over. the warrior who
had slain a fee tasted for days.
purified himself, and remained long
praying 10 The spirit Of the dead
man to forgive him for taking his
life.
These Texans were not ashamed
of their savagery. They carried
it out in brilliantly lighted public
square, in the presence Of their
women If, when the surviving
members Of The Crimes family are
able to talk, they exonerate the
Negro, these Texas savages will be
even less praiseworthy than they
are now.

Rev. r. H. Harbert, P. E., will preach
at the evening service and administer
the sacrament. The pastor is closing
up his years work for conference and
feels that the work accomplished for
San Francisco in general and for
Bethel in particular. entities him to a
splendid report, and every citizen who
appreciates good honest service, such
as marks the character of the work at
Bethel, should lend helping hand.
The entire year has been spent sin an
effort to take care of the peoples in
terest, and now, that one month only
remains in which he most collect the
balance due himself on his very small
salary, get in his conference claims
