The program consisted of appropri- ate quotations, and the singing of the favorite songs of Lincoln and Douglass by the student body. Dr. W.

Clarke, the prin- cipal speaker of the evening, delivered an address upon “Frederick Dauglass” j and spoke in part as follows: | “The of It is beset with peril. the reformer is hard Yet he persists way in making his unwelcome appearance among men, ordering the overthrow of institutions hallowed -by time and sus- tained by law. Sometimess men put him to death, in which case his reform is generally well under way, and the rev- olution is at hand. The “Seats of the} Mighty” have always and always will rest either upon ignorance, fraud,feze, or despotism; and when they are men- aced by the political or intellectual pro- gram of the reformer, then do we reach those crises which change the current! of history and which profoundly af- fect the destiny of man. “We meet here tonight to celebrate, if not the anniversary at least the mem- ory of a reformer, whose career was romantic and wonderful, yet full of stern realities—Frederick Douglass. He too had his prison, having been betray- ed in a conspiracy to escape with two other bondmen from the despotism of slavery. When John Brown seized the arsenal at Harper’s Ferry, he was forc- ed to flee the United States, lest under State comity he be extradited by Vir- s-tia and sent to the scaffold, perhaps as a conspirator against the laws of the State. This fight from the United States to England caused him, in one of those irresistible bursts of eloquence later to say: ‘I fled from the talons of the American eagle to find safety and repose in the mane of the British li- on. _ “His denunciation of slavery affected people as that of no other anti-slavery speaker, because his ttongue of flame was kept burning by intimate personal knowledge of the horrors and depravity of the system. How many thousands of converts are accredited to his elo- quence can never be known, but it sy ' known divines and orators in the nUited States, AT COSMOPOLITAN CHURCH. Last Sunday a large congregation at- tended services at the Cosmoptlitan Temple Baptist Church, N_ street be- tween Ninth and Tenth streets, Rev. Si- mon P. W. Drew, pastor. At 10.30 a.m. the pastor preached a most excel- lent sermon; subject, “The Morning Star.” At the close of the sermon Mrs. Willie Layton, of Philadelphia, presi- dent of the Women’s National Baptist Convention of America, and Mrs. Beu- lah Moore, of Zion Baptist Church of Philadelphia, Pa., were introducted and spoke eloquently of their work. At 7.30 p.m. Dr. Drew preached again and the close of the sermon he conduct- ed a baptismal service. A great num- ber were converted during the services: He will conduct another baptismal ser- vice next Sunday at 8.30 p.m. BAPTIZING WHO WILL BE BISHOPS? The contest for the election of bishops in the A. M. E, connection will be an interesting one. The Bee has made a/ careful canvass of the situation, and from what it has learned it is quite evident H. B. Parks and H. T. Johnson will be elected without opposition. The contest for the other place will be between Dr. Lampton and L. H. Rennolds, but in all probability Dr. Lampton will win. Rev. Fliffer is likely to be defeated. DEFINING LOCAL VAGRANTS. Provisions of a Bill Introduced by Representative Webb A rather remarkable bill ‘to define vagrancy in the District of Columbia” was introduced in the House recently by Representative Webb of North Ca- rolina. Here are the definitions : “Persons wandering around, or stroll- ing about in idleness, who are able to work and have no property to support withont visible means of support who loiter shout saloons or dramshops, 2r gambling houses or houses of ill-fame. “AHL idle who, having \isible means of support, live without lawful employment. persons not Section 1 of the bill provides that any person con\ing within the provisions ust quoted shall be deemed a vagrant and shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars or imprisoned for not not more than sixty days. \ POPULAR SALOONKEEPER. We, the members of the National Personal Colored Liberty League, rep- resenting hundred thousand members in the United States, and a membership of Over six thousand mem- bers in the District of Columbia, take great pleasure in presenting to our members and friends of the District of Columbia, Mr, Anthony Felder, of 102 First street northwest, whose cut ap- pears in this issue of The Bee. Mr. Felder is and always has been a true friend to the colored race. He over six was born in Switzerland, and has re- sided in this country for twenty-two years. He has 2 wife and five inter- esting children. His place of business at the foot of the Capitol is becoming one of the most popular places in the city of Washington, and he is receiving the patronage of the best class of white and colored people. Mr. Felder knows no man by the color of his skin or the texture of his hair, but treats every man alike. He has no “Jim Crow” bars, and every man’s money looks alike to him, Mr. Felder is a great believer in and promoter of personal liberty, and is one of the best-posted men in the District of Columbia on the prohibition question, having lived in North Dako- to for sixteen years, where prohibition has proven to be a farce and absolute failure, and we hope that all the lov- ers of personal liberty will call at Mr. Felder’s place, 102 First street north- west. i i a ln ha aan eg ee ge Felix Wear, the eminent violin so loist, will appear, assisted by other well-known talent. j Music by the Lyric Orchestra.
