EQUALRIGHTS COUNCIL HEAR SPEECHES wEite man, and nine-tenths of the jurors were of the same color. Therefore, said Mr. Taylor, the whites had no necessity for employing such methods. Mr. Taylor quickly warmed up in his remarks, arous- ing his audience to the greatest excitement. ahs country, he declared, belonged as h to the negro as to the white man, and, all the powers of evil could not pre- vent him from asserting and maintaining his ay ownersh!p. Despite’the suggestion that Liberia was-the best place for the negro, Mr. Taylor declared that this coun- try was good enough for him, and here the negro would remain to the end of time. Resolutions Adopted. A series of resolutions were then adopted, A Proposal to Aid in Prosecuting | condemning as without cause op provoca~ the Poticeman. HILLSDALE’S INDIGNATION The Vermont Avenue Colored Baptist Church was well filled last evening, the Equal Rights Council, an organization of colored people, having called a meeting to discuss the shooting of Reuben Foster, the young colored man, by Policeman Green on the 4th instant, near Hillsdale. The meet- ing was presided over by President Lawson of the council, and in calling the meeting to order he explained that the council had invited good citizens of both races to be present, for the reason that both races were equally concerned. The question was whether a policeman could be at once judge, jury and executioner. The meeting, said Mr. Lawson, was not called for the purpose of making fiery speeches, or to ask for any unreasonable thing. All that the colored people of the District desired was fair play and equal rights. The law had been violated, all good, fair-minded citizens, white or black, would say, and the meeting had been called to express indig- nation thereat, and to ask the authorities to prosecute the guilty man. Mr. John M. Langston, said Mr. Lawson, had promised to attend and address the meeting, but had been prevented by the inclement weather. Mr. E. M. Hewlett, a colored attorney, was presented as one who had been fore- most in bringing the case to the attention of the authorities. Mr. Hewlett's Address. Mr. Hewlett explained that he had come t> the meeting merely to listen to others, but could not well decline the invitation to say a few words. He was glad, he said, to hear it stated that there was to be nothing fiery said, but that the meeting was to be one for calm, dispassionate dis- cussion. There was no need, he was glad to say, for anything like fiery speeches, for the people and press of the entire District were of one mind and belief in the matter of the shooting of Foster. It should not be said that the large attendance at the meeting was due aione to the fact that the man killed was a black one and the man who killed him a white man. The attend- ance, remarked Mr. Hewlett, would have been just as large if the colors had been reversed. A great crime had been com- mitted, said he, and all the community agreed that it was not a mere accident. A policeman, in attempting to make or maintain an unlawful arrest, had wanton- ly shot down a fleeing, unarmed man, one, too, who was not by any means of as bad a character, he said, as some desired to make him. But, he continued, the officer would surely be indicted, for District At- torney Birney, stating that Foster’s repu- tation, good or bad, was not to be con- sidered, had promptly laid the case before the grand jury. Policeman Green,’ said Mr. Hewlett, would undoubtedly shortly be indicted for manslaughter. That offense, he explained, could be punished by the infliction of a small fine, by a few days in jail or by as many as ten ycars in the penitentiary. The people of the District, in the event of the policeman's conviction, should, there- fore, see that he spent a term in the peni- tentiary.' Green might have been a good officer, but he had said: “Damn the nigger, I'll stop him,” and, having unlawfully killed Foster, should be made to stand the consequences. The officer. was without the least excuse, declared Mr. Hewlett, for Judge Miller, in the Police Court, had, year in and year out, lectured policemen upon the reckless use of the pistol, and had re- marked that unless it stopped it would become necessary to take their pistols from them. Mr. Hewlett stated that, while he felt sorry for the officer, he would, as he had done in the case of Policeman Terry, now serving a term in the penitentiary for shooting the young colored man, Willis Washington, assist in the prosecution of Green, believing that the welfare and safe- ty of the people of the District, white and black, demanded the officer’s conviction. And that he would do, declared Mr. Hew- lett, despite the fact that Green’s friends had offered him $100 to remain silent. All the people desired, he said, was that police- men should be taught that they must make arrests in a lawful manner. Mr. Hewlett’s remarks were loudly ap- plauded, and then Mr. Lawson introduced the pastor of the church, Rev. Geo. W. Lee, who briefly addressed the meeting. f Rev. Mr. Lee Talks. Mr. Lee said everybody knew where he stood—but h2 happened to stand just about where every good man and woman in the District stood. The whole District con- demned the shooting of Foster, and the manner in which the young man was Killed had made him a martyr. He might have been bad, but his death piaced him, said Mr. Lee, at least equal with his slayer. The so-called verdict of the coroner’s jury in the case was an insult to common sense and reason. In considering that verdict, said Mr. Lee, he lost sight of Green, but the verdict’s monstrousness grew on him in its enormity the more he thought of it. He did not say the policeman’s act was mur- der, for he believed the officer deeply re- gretted his act the moment he rezlized what he had done. It might have been an accident, said Mr. Lee, as some people claimed, but it was a crazy thing to do. If Green was a maniac, then, said he, it was an accident for which the District was responsible, as it allowed such a man to carry a revolver. He believed that Green did have a good character, but he fell, and he should be pun- ished. But, said Mr. Lee, he believed that the officer not once realized what he was doing in firing at Foster. Yet'Green was a man of intelligence, and he should have realized that in using a deadly weapon he was doing an_unlawful thing. The bad character of Foster had been magnified, until, if some folks were to be believed, he was a regular desperado, before whom everybody trembled. But that was not so, and even if it had been the officer was still guilty. Thomas L. Jones’ Remarks.. President Lawson next presented Mr. Thos. L. Jones, who was introduced as the attorney general of the council. He stated that the moment he heard of the unfortu- nate affair he had investigated it, and had assisted in laying the case of Officer Green before District Attorney Birney. He then referred to a speech he made several weeks ago, in which he stated that while negroes were not lynched in the District, they were subjected to harshness, cruelty and dis- grace by the police here. But a few weeks ago Willis Washington, the inoffensive, reputable victim of Policeman Terry, said Mr. Jones, passed away, and although his slayer was now serving a term in the peni- tentiary, the grave had hardly closed over him before another negro is shot down. It was necessary, declared Mr. Jones, for the negroes here and elsewhere to demand the rights due them under the Constitution and laws of the land. Elsewhere the negro had used dynamite, but, said Mr. Jones, while he did not encourage violence, he would never cease to urge the negro to demand, secure and maintain his rights and protect himself. Mr. Jones intimated that he would, as attorney general of the Equal Rights Council, assist the authorities in the prosecution of Officer Green, and also intimated that, while he asked nothing, it would require funds to make it successful. Rev. Mr. Taylor's Address. A series of resolutions were about to be offered when President Lawson, at the sug- gestion of the Rev. Mr. Lee, invited the Rev. J. Anderson Taylor to address the meeting. He was received with much ap- plause, ahd stated that the time had come when the colored people of the District should’ speak in no uncertain tones of the rongs perpetrated on them. He was, he said, a race man, and could not be ‘other- wise if he would, and would not if he could. Mr. Taylor then launched off in a discus- sion of the outrages of the colored people throughout the south and other parts of the country. He could not understand, he said, why there should be lynchings and outrages, for every judge in the land was a tion the shooting of Foster, and requesting that Mr. Jones represent the council in bringing Officer Green before the bar of justice. Mr. Hewlett and Pastor Lee thought that while it was well enough for the meeting to express its indignation at the killing of Foster, all had been done that was neces- sary to secure the indictment and trial of the policeman. They therefore dfscouraged the idea of asking the meeting to con- tribute funds, which excited the indigna- tion of Mr. Jones, who exclaimed: “I don’t know what in God's name Mr. Hewlett. means when he says all has been done that is necessary.” Mr. Lee said: “I don’t believe in taxing my people to have two or three lawyers sit around the court room and look pretty. I can do that much myself, and I know I can outtalk half of the nigger lawyers around the courts here.” A collection was made, however, and then the meeting adjourned. Mass Meeting at Hillsdale. The colored residents of Hillsdale held a mass meeting last night at Campbell A. M. E. Church, on Nicholls avenue, and pro- tested against the shcoting of Reuben Fos- ter by Police Officer Adwin Green. The church was crowded to the doors, and even the vestibule was filled with visitors. But this did not prevent a line of officers as- sembling in the rear of the church. Sergt. Kirby of the Anacostia police had a squad, composed of Police Officers Thomas Ander- son, Taylor Branson, M. Hagan and F. L. Allen, present, but there was no disturb- ance. It was only as a matter of caution, and in reply to a request for their presence made by Rev. Mr. Overton, pastor of the church. Rev. Mr. Overton's Address. After the meeting was called to order and a committee on resolutions appointed, Rev. Mr. Overton was introduced and made the opening speech. The speaker said it was not an indignation meeting exactly, that it was not their province to discuss the character of the deceased or the cused. He said he had been told that Fos ter had said “he would go through hell with his eyes open, rather than be taken to the station by one of these officers.” Rev. Mr. Overton said he had no doubt that Green’s nature and his nature were similar, and if he had occasion to arrest a man who made such a remark he would see that he was taken to the station house. He had no doubt but that it was while carrying out his intention of taking Foster that the shooting had taken place, but that justice was all the colored people asked; that he doubted not that the grand jury would do its duty. “The position of a policeman is corte: not an’ ‘enviable one,” he continu a policeman for 0" a day.” “The police of Anacostia are not all bad; he did not be- lieve that any other officer would shoot a fleeing prisoner, and did not believe Foster would have been shot except for the mentary anger of the officer. The police force of Washington is composed of good men, but, he said, “there are spots on the un.” Lawyer Moss, counsel for Green, a celored lawyer of Hillsdale, was then scored. Other Speeches. Rev. Mr. Matthews then spoke against the shooting, and demanded to know what protection the school children, the coming generation, had. And regarding the cor- oner’s verdict, he said: “Did they expect us to swallow that verdict? We are not that ignorant. What are the schools of Hillsdale for, if not to educate us to know justice from imposition?" Rev. G. G. Jones said that unless the negroes of Hillsdale protested against this act, and unless justice was meted out to the officer in question, it would be unsafe for a negro to again walk through ihe streets of Anacostia on his way to Hills- dale. Following a short address by Rev. Mr. Parker, a call was made for funds to uid in securing a lawyer to assist the prosecu- tion in their case. A subscription list was immediately started and a good sum real- ized last might. Other contributions will be solicited by Messrs. Sayles, Underdue and Overton. —_—.—--- For the Benefit of the Poor. A benefit for the poor of Southeast Washington was given at Odd Fellows’ Hall, on Sth street southeast, last evening by the Barr & Clarke Comedy Company, assisted by Master Behrens and Harry Park, while Miss E. Behrens performed the difficult part of an accompanist. The company presented the two-act comedy “Naval Enx.gements” in a very creditable manner, despite several rather awkward pauses, F, T. Buehler as Short, Gust. Bar- ton as Dennis and Miss Jessie Good as Mary Mortimer personating their respec- tive characters with a good deal of skill. In the interval between the comedy and the dancing, which continued until a late hour after the performance, Master Behrens danced the jockey dance, Mr. J. H. Clarke sang the “Heart Bowed Down,’ Mr. T. Barr the “Yeoman’s Wedding,” and Mr. and Mrs. Clarke a comic duet, “Very Suspicious.” Harry Park then concluded the entertainment with an exhibition of fancy and scientific bicycle and monocycle riding, after which the dancing began. ——. St. ENzabeth’s Society Officers. The St. Elizabeth Society held their an- nual election Sunday, March 10, and the following ladies were elected: Mrs. Cath- erine Hauffman, president; Mrs. Martha Kohler, vice president; Mrs. Kather- ine Smith, secretary; Mrs. Mary Offen- stein, assistant “secretary; Mrs. Christina Nolte, treasurer; Mrs. Catherina Kasparl, Mrs. Margaret Geier and Mrs. Mary Mil- ler, committee. : a Cupital Camera Club Exhibition. ‘The annual exhibition of the Capital Cam- era Club will be held during the first week in May in the Cosmos assembly room. Because of the great number of prints of- fered for competition last year and the dif- ficulty there was in giving space, to them, it Is likely that the south parldr of the Cosmos club house will be secured also for the unprecedentedly large collection of prints expected. The executive committee of the club will meet tomorrow evening to arrange a definite date for the exhibition and other details connected with it. There will be not only the work of Washington's amateur photographers, but that of other cities, although the latter will not be of- fered in competition for prizes, The latter will consist of medals and certificates and the number and classification will be enough to arouse a lively. interest and bring out a large number of exhibits, The competition is open to all amateur photog- raphers in Washington. As soon as the committee has arranged the date blanks stating the conditions of competition will be sent to the various photographers whose addresses are known to the committee. But in case any should not be reached in this way they are invited to send in thelr work. from a most hor- E EFOR rible blood dis- ease I had spent hundreds of dollars trying various remedies and physi- cians, none of which did me any good. My finger nails came off and my hair came out, leaving me perfectly bald. I then went to HOT SPRINGS Hoping to be cured by this celebrated treatment, but very soon became disgusted and decided to S.S.S. The effect was truly wonderful. I commenced to recover at once, and after I had taken twelve bot- tles I wasentirely cured—cured by S.S.S. when the world- renowned Hot Springs had failed. ‘Wo. S.

English lawn tennig:players may add to the international confests this year, says the New York Times. According to the Official Lawn Tennis ‘Builetin, it is prob- able that this summ¢r the English tennis champion, the English woman champion, and other English players of high rank wil visit this country to" play in-the tourna- ments. This is stated on the authority of Mat- thews, the well-knewrm Canadian crack, who has.said that a party, consisting of J. Pym, E. W. Lewis; Mr. and Mrs. Hill- yard, and M. F. Gootibody, will come to America this summer‘to play in the prin- cipal events. Pym is-the strongest player in England. He defeated Baddeley for the championship last summer. Goodbody’s showing last summer will make him a welcome visitor again, and the other mem- bers of the party are among the first play- ers of Great Britain. Dr. James Dwight, the president of the National Lawn Tennis Association, is much interested in the proposed visit of the En- glish players. He says: “That the English players are class for class better than ours, I have no doubt. How much better it is impossible to say, but I should fancy that our best players were nearer fifteen than half fifteen behind Pym and W. Baddeley. Were they to come they could no doubt carry away the championship.” Money for Cornell's Crew. Col. C. F. Francis of Troy, N. Y., who has charge of alumni fund for sending the Cornell crew to England, has been at Ithaca for the past few days conferring with the rowing authorities. The amount to be raised in Ithaca ‘is $5,000. The crews must be entered for the Henley regatta by March 31, and the navy authorities dre emphatic in their declarations that the crew will not be entered until the $5,000 is in sight. The $5,000 fund must be raised by Sat- urday of this week. ‘Commodore Hastings has called a mass meeting of students for tonight. The campaign has been so thor- oughly planned that it is safe to predict that the necessary amount will be forth- ccming. Craig Dropped Like a Log. LONDON, March 12.—Sporting Life says that just when there appeared to be a likelihood of some fighting in the Craig- Slavin fight last night Slavin delivered a crushing blow under Craig’s jaw, and the latter fell as if he had been shot. Few of those present were able to realize what had happened. Many did not see the blow struck. There is no doubt that Slavin's victory is a most popular one. The Sports- man says there was a bit of luck about Slavin’s blow, but there is no doubt about its effectivenes3. As a fight it was a fiasco. Craig may be a champion and Slavin ma have regained his former form, but it will require something better than yesterday’s show to prove this. Sudden Closing of Madison. The sudden and unexpected closing of the Madison, Ill, race track has ¢aused an unlimited amount of yeeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Not one of the horse- men had any intimation of what was com- ing, and none wereeprepared for the blow when it fell.

The result is they are absolutely without value as race horses, and would command little or noth- ing for use in other’ fields.

The Hsts of entrigs for the purses offer- ed by thé Detroit Driving Club for'the“an- nual blue ribbon meeging next July have been completed: The array of trotters and pacers booked insure a meeting of an inter- est hitherto uncqualed in the club's his- tory.

The mud, rain and snow did not in the least interfere with the management of the Alexander Island track yesterday in their efforts to advance and encourage the breeding of the thoroughbred horse, but the fearful weather materially decreased the attendance of even the regulars. Hence, the crowd was a small one, and but nine bookmakers did business. The track was deep in mud, and the racing was rather uninteresting. While but two favor- ites won, the other races went to well- played selections, and it was about an even thing between the talent and the men be- hind the slates. The winners were: Besse- mer, 7 to Belle Blackburn, 4 to 1; O’Hearn, 7 to 2; Scnora, 5 to 1, and West Side, 1 to 2. Pfeffer Will Not Pliny. Fred Pfeffer, the lately reinstated ball player, has made up his mind to get even with the leagus at any cost, and to that end will, when the proper time comes, re- fuse absolutely to play with the Louisvilie team. This information was given out quietly to a select few of Pfeffer’s close {friends,and as might be expected it created quite a sensation. Washington-Brooklyn poned. The Washington Base Ball Club arrived at Savannah yesterday from Charleston at noon, but the continual shower prevented a game with Brooklyn. Game _ Post- Movement to Bay the Jubilee. The movement to raise by subscription money to purchase the Jubilee from Gen. Paine and put her in commission for the trial races for the America’s cup is al- ready attracting much attention among yachtsmen at Boston, and gives much promise of being brought to a successful issue. The Baltimores Go South. The Orioles, accompanied by a number of friends, started from Baltimore last night for Macon, Ga. Jennings and McGraw will join the club the latter part of this week.

The concluding games be- tween Hakelberg, Pfaff and Grice were close and exciting, Hakelberg winning both games and the tournament by the scores of 50 to 46 and 50 to 44. He won from every player contesting, a total of twelve games. A Stenm Yacht Race. An agreement has been entered into be- tween McBride Brothers, owners of Yankee Doodle; William J.

It is always ready for use; nothing like it has ever been known in the history of medicine. It is the most wonderful remedy of the age, and the only medicine known that can prevent con- sumption. THE AMERICAN CATARRH CURE is the result of 26 years’ study and treatment of the disease. One bottle convinces the most skeptical. It is always teady for use, needing neither douche nor atomizer.

It is impossible ‘for any one to enjoy perfect health while suffering from the dropping of mucus in the throat, which is ever offensive and unhealthy In. character and poisons every breath that is taken into the lungs, thereby rendering the blood unhealthy and {mpare and leading to, consumption of the Imngs. What a boon to mankind must be the remedy which will prevent this suffering and restore perfect health. To the many thousands who have despaired of being cured of this terrible disease we cheerfully recommend the AMERICAN CATARRH CURE. It gives immediate relief.
