INTER-RACIAL COOPERATION

In slavery days there was in the
South a class of Negroes whose skill
as workmen and whose personal de-
votion to their masters interests eX-
cited general praise. They were the
house servants (chief of whom was
Nanny. the foreman in the fields,
and the mechanics, such as black
smiths, carpenters. coopers, etc. III
was into the hands of this class OF
slaves that the masters, when the
Civil War came on, committed the
care of their plantations and their
women and children. So faithful
were these blacks that during the en-
tire period of the war there was not
a single instance of betrayal of the
trust committed to their hands.
After emancipation what became
of this house-servant and mechanic
class, the most intelligent element OF
the slave population? To large ex-
tent it's members established homes
for themselves. acquired property
and became the leaders in getting
the race started on the road to that
remarkable progress which. after
fifty wears. is the wonder and admi-
ration of the world. Thus ii came
to pass that the best element in the
Negro race got more or less out OF
touch with the best element of the
white race. The descendants of this
house-servant and mechanic class
are today the preachers, teachers,
doctors, mechanics. farm owners,
and business men, who, as leaders
of their race. live in their own world
apart from the whites. They are the

OPPORTUNITIES WHICH PRESENT

The wonderful opportunities which

HAM LINCOLN DIES AT
GUNNISON.

Gunnison, Colo, April 26.-The flu
neral of Ferdinand Schavers, aged
Gunnison Negro who died Thursday
afternoon, was held Sunday ut > p. IN.
and was largely attended by the best
white people in this town.
Schavers was SS years old and had
lived in Gunnison, where he conducted
Il barber shop, since the close of the
Civil war. He was one of the finest
types of the Negro race that ever lived
here, being tall, well formed, with reg
ular features. He was noted for his
courteousness 10 everybody and num-
bered his friends by the thousands.
Schavers was born ut Mendoza, ILL.,,
and Joined the Union army when Il"
was % years old. Later he was ap-
pointed a bodyguard for Abraham Lin
coin and one of his priced possessions
was Il commission issued him in that
capacity.
The record of Schavers' enlistment
in the Union army unfortunately be-
came lost, and he WAS never able to
obtain pension.
Schavers is survived by a daughter
and sister, who live mt Detroit. They
were notified of his death by telegraph
but wired back that they would be un-
able to attend the funeral.
Every morning for more than quar-
ter of century, Schavers would meet
the incoming Denver train and pur-
chase Il Post, the only Denver paper he
would consent to read. His striking
appearance always attracted the at
tention of the passengers on the train.
