HISTORICAL
SKETCH
1933-1939

The First African Methodist Episco-
pal Society of Boston was organized by
Rev. N. C. w. Cannon in a small
house on Belknap Street, as near as
can be determined, on November %,
1888. Four periods characterize its
history: The Heroic Period; the Period
of Glory, the Period of Decline and
the Period of Change.
Heroic Period
From 1888 to 1876 the congregation
made several moves on Beacon Hill
and finally settled on Anderson Street.
This property was sold May &c, 1888
10 Francis r. Roberts. During this
time the congregation grew and be
came a factor in the life of Beacon
Hill. During the pre-civil war days
this church's services were the scenes
of many stirring abolitionist meetings,
where William Lloyd Garrison. Wen
dell Phillips, Frederick Douglass,
Phillips Brooks and others led in the
fight against slavery. 1t developed
into one of the strongest Negro con
oregations in the city.
The Period of Glory

Rev William H. Hunter in 1875

started the church upon an era of
worldwide fame. In December 1876,
the ediice on Charles and Mt. Vernon
streets was purchased from the Third
Baptist Church for $4,000. This
historic building was designed by
Asher Benjamin, an architect of the
late colonial period of New England.
1t was built in 1907 and is the pride
of Beacon Hill. Within its walls the
congregation held many happy meet
ings and listened to the great preach
ers and orators of the last sixty years.
The following distinguished ministers
were the pastors during this time: VIM.
H. Hunter, John 7. Jenifer, Theodore
Gould, Robert F. Hurley, d. p. Rob
erts, J. M. Henderson, VIM. H.
Thomas, Jr. The congregations filed
the building to over-fowing and to
preach at Charles Street Church was a
high privilege.
The Period of Decline
During the Administration of Rev.
NJ. W. Thornton, the Colored popula-
ton was rapidly leaving Beacon Hill
for the South End Efforts were made
to move the church which proved un-
popular. In 1920 the City of Boston
ordered the widening of Charles Street
and this caused the moving and repair
of the building. This made mortgage
of 100000 which proved too much
for the people to carry. A Committee
of Beacon Hill white friends, Edward
R. Warren, Ralph W. Gray, Edward

c. Wheeler and Frank A. Bourne, for
several years solicited funds from
neighbors and paid the interest at
1900 per year. During this period
the pastors were: M. W. Thornton, A.
r. Cooper, U. G. Leeper, l. S. Jacobs,
w. Lamar and J. A. Sterrett.
The Period of Change
The Rev. Oliver W. H. Childers
came to the pastorate of the church
in 1880 From the beginning of this
administration it was apparent the
church would have to relocate. The
Beacon Hill people offered to pay off
the mortgage and take title to the
Charles Street Meeting House and
also offered to give the congregation a
perpetual lease, to worship as they
pleased. This proved unsatisfactory
to the trustees and another plan to
move the congregation to a new loca-
ton was adopted. The Charles Street
Church Preservation Committee, with
John g. Greene, Chairman was formed.
This committee paid the interest on the
mortgage and made needed repairs
upon the tower and formed an agree
ment to relocate the congregation.
The st. Ansgarious Episcopal Church
property was acquired and exchanged
for the Charles Street Church prop
erty, May 81, 1889. The congregation
entered the new Home Sunday, July
2, 1889.

retained on the ticket were Mrs. Kil- martin and MT. Derwin.
 The spirited Democratic campaign had much to do with the victory. Under MT. Mulville, efficient dis trict organizations were set up about the city, and 1t soon became evident that the election was not to be the Republican walkaway 1t had appeared only a short time before.
 There can be no question that MT. Scully was the Democratic tickets biggest asset. His reputation for honesty, his record as a lawyer, his sound campaign arguments all had much to do with yesteday's vote.

Election Sidelights

A Democratic worker answered @ call for @ car to bring a voter to the polls in the Brooklyn sec. ton. A few minutes later he foundS the "voter" working busily at Ret publican district headquarters. Y
 Voting had been light until early afternoon, when 1t picked up sharply. The polls were crowded from 2 o'clock to 6 o'clock.
 Mrs. Mary Garafano, of 90l Bank Street, held open house for Democratic workers of Dis- trict Az during the day. The district was in charge of Frank J. Leary.
 New members of the Democratic Town Committee were credited with doing excellent work during their baptism of fire. It was the first time that q number of them had directed district organization work during an election.
 Police Superintendent William J. Roach directed policement as they cleared the way for the Dem- ocrats' victory parade.
 A crowd gathered outside the office of The Democrat, eagerly scanning election bulletins and listening to . broadcast of the returns. Judge Edward Mascolo was on hand early to tabulate the returns as they were sent in by The Democrats election staff.
 Liquor establishments were closed during the day. Last night restaurant and tavern owners, as they watched the crowds, mourned the fact that they cannot open their places even after the polls close on election day.
 The Fulton American Band took part in the victory parade. At Sculiy headquarters on Grand street, the band serenaded the victorious nominees.
 One car that attracted attention as the parade went by more on it's roof a coffin, inscribed, "Upson, Pape, Phillips. On its front was a sign, "Upson and Pape's Last Ride"
 Several of the winning candi- dates held "0pen house" at their homes during the night, and greet ed scores of friends who dropped in to offer congratulations.
 George Ackerbloom, of Colum- bia boulevard, went to the polls in dungarees carrying out pledge he made a year ago. He said then he would wear dungarees on election day until the Socialists won control of the city.
 The Democratic victory parade was split up at Exchange Place when police halted . portion of it to prevent traffic from being tied un completely.

A witness to the shooting of Dar
McGrew in Dawson, Y. T., came
here yesterday and not only re-
cited the famous Robert w. Service
poem but told Of the events leading
up to the gunplay.
He said the Lady Known as Lou
was a beautiful English woman who
left her husband in South Africa
to 60 to the Yukon with Danger
Gus Dan" and that it took the hus-
band nearly year and a half to
trail them to the Dominion saloon
in Dawson.
Mike Mahoney, sourdough pros
pector who made his pile in the
Arctic wastes, stopped in the place
that night back in 1905 just before
the shooting occurred, he told a
Lions luncheon meeting in the May
flower Hotel. He recalled that the
husband was an excellent piano
player and that he played with the
touch of man enraptured with his
music.
In those days, he recalled, man
only touched his gun when he in
tended to shoot. The pianist
stopped his playing, went toward
Dan swearing, and then the lights
went out. Bartenders, he said, were
trained to eXtinguish the light al
the first sign of gunplay.
Lights Were Put Out.
When they saw the stranger start
for Dan-noted for his quick and
straight shooting they either
smashed the lights or shot them
out, Mr.. Mahoney said.
Several gun flashes spurted in the
dark and then all was quiet. Wher
the lights were brought out ano
order restored both Dan and the
stranger were sprawled on the floor
dead. Lou lay nearby with bullet
through her neck.
On recovery, Lou told OF her mar
riage in London, the trip to South
Africa and the lonely days she hao
while her husband was away at the
mines. During this time she met
Dan, many years her senior, and
went off with him, leaving her baby
for her husband to raise. 1t died
a year later. Mahoney did not re-
call the husbands first name. but
said his last name was Madden
Dan McGreW, he said, was a fic-
titious name and none of the sour
doughs knew the real one
Mr.. Mahoney related that Lou
said she did not recognize Madden
when he first entered the saloon.
He apparently had suffered greatly
on the trail and was gaunt and
worn when he reached Dawson.
Shortly after he began playing she
recognized him and warned Dan,
but too late. She knew Dan was
one of the best shots in the Yukon
and tried to throw herself between
the men when the lights went out.
In doing this she was shot acci-
dentally.
Service Was Clerk.
Mr.. Mahoney said she was one
OF the dance-hall girls and Dan was

the fioorwalker. In the Service
poem the saloon is called the Male
mute, but Mr.. Mahoney insists 1t
was the Dominion. Mr.. Service at
the time was a clerk in Dawson for
the Canadian Bank of Commerce.
The shooting caused a great stir
when the Service poem was brought
out OF the Far North, but in reality
was only one of many that hap
pened during these gold-crazed
days, Mr.. Mahoney said.
Nothing was done about the
shooting, Mr.. Mahoney said, be-
cause both parties were dead.
Mr.. Mahoney said he regularly
corresponds with Service, who lives
in Southern Europe. He said the
author offered him a half interest
in his first volume of poems for
$3.50, but, to his later regret, he
did not take it. Mr.. Service re-
ceived $4,000 in royalties from it,
he said.
Mr.. Mahoney, who is So, but looks
younger, said most of his time these
days is taken up with invitation to
recite the Service poem and tell of
the shooting. He said thousands
of invitations come to him every
year.

Census Takers Will Ask
Marriage Questions, Too
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The census taker, who sometimes
has trouble finding out women S
ages, stuck his chin out today by
framing additional questions about
how many times women have been
married, age when married and how
many children they have had.
It's concern about Americas de-
clining birth rate that inspires the
new questions, officials hastened to
explain.
The disclosure was made in ad-
vance of tryout of the 1910 census
questions to begin August Is in st.
Joseph and Marshall Counties, Ind.
To make it little easier, however,
the Census Bureau stipulated that
the "how many times married" ques-
ton would be used only on a sam
ple' basis-being asked of every
10th family in the Indiana test, and
every 25th family in the national
enumeration next spring.
The Census Bureau started check
ing on the birth rate in 1915, when
there were Isl births for every 1000
population.
This ratio dropped every year
until it hit 1877 in 1896. 1t went UP
to ITO in 1887 and to 17.9 in 1898,
but the permanency of this later
trend is in doubt.

Rubies Infection Fears

CHICAGO, July 27-The public
fear of rabies infection is usually
without foundation-unless a person
is actually bitten-because the dis

Anti-rabies serum treatment is
generally advisable only following

suspected animal" DR.. George A.
