In Rhode Island the sentiment favor
ing the enlistment of colored men was
so strong that the General Assembly
passed an act to enlist every able
bodied Negro, mulatto or Indian man
slave In the State" They were placed
in either one of two battalions. Rhode
Island, therefore, was the first of the
Colonies which voted to send regiments
composed entirely of Negroes into the
field.
In March, 1881, the Legislature of
New York passed an act providing for
the raising Of two regiments of colored
men,
Since there was such a great differ
ence of opinion concerning the question
OF allowing colored men to enlist, it was
hnally submitted to a Committee Of
Safety composed of such men as DR..

First interviews on the subject

1t was hopeless. The partner
ship was ended. Weber paid Fields
$4,000 and took the Music Hall.
That, any one with the slightest
arithmetical flair can perceive,

already had been flirting with the
new conception.
That was one of the underlying
causes of the breach.

The 'Whoop-de-Doo" company
had done good business, and it is
possible a continuation of the

reputation, might have held its
own against an essentially stu

But when the partners broke up
for eight years, the new style
gained SO much impetus that by

sentimental success; critics &C
claimed it as always, but there

duced a classic of the later musical
comedy, "a Connecticut Yankee
