It Was then decided that the proposed cele- bration in 1900 should be an appropriate recognition of what was spoken of as a reat national historic event, and that the g2neral government should be invited to jofn with the local government of the Dis- trict in properly observing the occasion. it was aiso suggested that as a result of the centennial anniversary, some perma- nent memorial of the event should be erect- ed in this city, and that the necessary ex- penses should be divided equally between the two governments. The committee that met last evening was the cne appointed by District Commissioner John B. Wight, who had been requested to du so by resolution adopted at a me2ting of citizens in the Lenman building, the ultimo. Mr. Wight was designated as ch: man pro tem. of such a committee, and ali the membet of the committee appointed by him wer present last evening, with the exception of Col. A. T. Britton and R. Ross Perry, who sent letters of regret. Those in’ ‘atter James Berret, John M. -M- Parker, Charles 2 theodore W. Noyes, Lawrence Gardner and John Joy Edson. W. S. McKean, who has taken an active part in initiating the movement, Was present, and gave briefly his ideas of the scope of the proposed celebration. There was a full interchange of views as to the form and character of the celebra- tion, with the result that the committee reached unanimously th2 conclusion above outlined. It was further decided that the commit- tee should call upon the President of the United States in a body, invite his attention to the coming i and sugge: that in his annual me o Congress 1 call the attention of that body to this mat- with the view of securing the co-oper: tion of the g ral government with the local government to make the observanc of th centennial worthy of the historic in-portance of the e ene celebrated. As far lat the me it is the desir adopted, that any plan the participation of the general government should first be secured, or committee of arrangements is appuinted, representatives of the general government should be given places on such a commit- tee.

In the remarks that followed mention was made of his work in Cam- mack Tent, the Grand Tent, and then as High Tent chief ruler, and as editor of the official organ of the order. “His work,” it was said, “embraced much that will never be told, as he was for many years conspicuous in the highest branches of the order, his connection with it embrac- ing a period of over forty years, and w consequently one of the oldest members in America. The respect in which his tent held him prompts the suggestion to change the name to “Thomas B. Marche Memorial Tent.'"" Remarks were made during the evening by a number of members and _v ling Brothers R. E. Swift, J. T. Swe Clark, C. E, Bladen, W. B. Kelly, E. J. W. Jackson, C. Mills and F.

There are three conditions: When the blood is poor; When more flesh is needed; When there is weakness of the throat or lungs. There is one cure: that is Scott’s Emulsion. It contains the best cod-liver oil emulsified, or digested, and com- bined with the hypophosphites and glycerine. It promises more prompt relief and more lasting benefit in these cases than can,be obtained from the use of any other remedy. 50c. und $1.00, all druggists, SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemi: New York.

APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT Colored Residents of Washington on “Rave War at the South.” The Question Debated by Representa- tive Orators—Series of Resolutions Adopted—Committee Appointed. The Lyceum of the Second Baptist Church held a session Tuesday evening last, the oc- casion being the fiftieth anniversary of the church. “The Race War at the South: lis Effects upon the Nation,” was discussed by Dr. J. N. Johnson, 8. M. Lewis, H. A. Clark. and others, and Prof. Jesse Lawson, R. W. Thompson, J. T. C. Newsom, A. F. Hilyer, H. A. Clark C. L. Marshall and Thomas Ware were appointed a committee to pre- sent the matter to the President. Prof. Jesse Lawson, president of the ly- ceum, in opening the meeting, said: “Ladies and Gentlemen: We assemble here tonight to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Second Baptist Church and to in- cidentally discuss a question in which every loyal citizen, whether black or white, should be deeply interested, for all will be affected by its final outcome. In a government like curs it is supposed that the people select those who are placed in authority over them and that all questions of governmental pol- icy are submitted to the arbitrament of the ballot. When that course is pursued we have a government by the people, as guar- anteed by the federal Constitution. Such a government every black man in the United States is ready to uphold and to give his life blood for its perpetuity. Through all the long years of suffering and persecution no colored man has ever raised his hand against the government, nor assaulted the flag whose symbol is freedom for all and protection fcr every citizen over Whose head it floats “There are no anarchists among the col- ored people, and we thank God for it. Ther is no record where any colored man has attempted to prevent any man from cast- ing his ballot according to the dictates of his own conscience and to have that ballot returned as cast. We concede to others what we maintain for ourselves, and in so doing we observe the golden rule. All that we ask is fair play. Shall we have it? I have too much faith in the wisdom and jus- tice of the American people to believe that they will deny to us this simple boon of cit- izenship. Declared to Be a Farce. “The farce that is about to be enacted in the state of North Carolina will return to plague the instigators of it. They are now sowing to the wind, and in God's own time they will reap the whirlwind. Let us ask our people to commit no acts of violence and to do nothing that will incite others to violence, and yet prove themselves worthy of American citizenship by defending every right guaranteed by the Constitution and the law of the land.” Resolutions were adopt that “the tendency to law portions of our country is calcul 0 nish the good name of the United States among the civilized nations of the world and to bring republican form of government a ting forth sness in cer lculated to tar- Royal Baking Powder is made of pure crys- tal cream of tartar andis beyond all ques- tion as to wholesome- ness and strength. It is the best and most economical to use. — OO into disrepute; therefore, we view with alarm the threatened outrage against con- stitutional government in the state of North Carolina by forcibly preventing American citizens from voting at the generat-elections® November 8. Committee of Seve: It was ordered that a committee of seven be appointed by the president of the lyceum to prepare an address to the President of the United States, setting forth the sityg- tion in North Carolina and asking him to use his good offices to maintain the peace in the preservation of constitutional govern- ment. A resolution was passed expressing the thanks of the lyceum to The Evening Star for its fair and impartial editorials relative to the situation at the south, and specially commending the editorial in The Star of October 2 pg ee Banquet to Soldier Boys. A banquet was given last evening at Reu- ter's by Company B, 4th Battallon, D. C. X. G., in honor of its members who recent- ly returned from war. Speeches were made by Lieut. Wheaton, Lieut.
