REPUBLICAN WOMEN HOLD A GREAT MEMORIAL SERVICE Inspirational Gathe r i n g — City Solicitor's Great Talk on Ideal Citizenship , Through wind and rain, their spiritundaunted, the ladies composing the Colored Women's Republican Club, assembled themselves in the auditorium of St. James M. E. Church, on Friday night., to pay tribute to four of their memiers who have crossed the frontier* into the Great Unknown. The meeting was impressive ami inspirational. It was\ a scene which coulcLiiot have failed to fan into greater, heat. the fires of patriotism burning in the heart of every true American, to see and heir how seriously and -sacredly, these women of a race which a little over half a century ago, were slaves, regard the obligations of citizenshq. and the new responsibilities impos, upon-thera through the e\ten- ( si on of the franchise to women. The negro race in America will be . no -insignificant factor in the shaping , of our future destiny. The negro race m America is pass- > iug thnugn the. travail of new birth. | They came her^not of their own will. ] antl are to bwrrconed with. ] In half f century they have advanced from a state of semi-dvilixa- | tioo. and are making themselves . heaid in every department of national life. The negro is experiencing a renaissance of racial pride, as profound and as far- reaching as that of any | race known to history. When Lincoln freed the slaves, he released a dynamo of potential energy for good or evil, of immeasurable 5 magnitude. For many years past the ( negro has been the dupe of political 1 adventurers. By purchase of the n negro vote, they hare climbed to fame 1 and fortune. Today 80 per cent. of! . them can read nnd write. They are v beginning I th ik, and if the meeting 1 held by the Republican women of the lace ii a l:jc criterion, ttwr are beginning to think in the rigor direction. n Thi.- was the impression one received at ti-» meeting, from' the addresses de- «• Mvvrod by colored speakers .and above P ail, from the keen attention given to the able exposition of the principles of idea! eitisenship, delivered by the " City Solicitor. . In a brief jet telling speech, the rhairlady. Miss It. C. Burke explained' the purport of the meeting, and called upon Rev. Grant Harris for the in- „ vocation. The preacher appointed to w ■Hirer the memorial sermon was Rev. W. H. Decker. Taking for hi*. subject the romantic' a, story of Queen Esther, interceding for y the lives of her people, in jeopardythrough the treachery of the man g • Haman, the preacher spoke in an im- w pressire manner upon race pride ami Pace redemption. /Esther was a jewess; a deep and ^ •^hiding-tore for her race possessed her. At the risk of her life she ren- I tared into the presence of King Ahab, 3 . to pie i.l for her people. The preacher referred in terms of high praise to the four women in whose memory the service was held: Mrs. Hawkins, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Rogers and Mis. * Thomson. Inspired with the spirit of .. true Americanism, these women had . devoted themselves to the task of up- ° lifting their race, and educating them " to become worthy eitieens of the.com- ' toon wealth.. 0 "The rouble with us in the past." said the preacher, "we have been too prone to se;i our birthright and princi- 0. pies for dollars. There are many t« things we a colored people .lesirrj,from the white race, hut 'firstly we:f0 must prove t.. them that we deaerve |P such pririlegi and are capable of ! w rightly using titr.-a when granted. We Gi must prove we ate not ignorant < f . p, nor indifferent to, the obligations of a jj, citizen .nor afraid u> stand for them th even at the personal Ion." After the sermon, a ladies' quartet th gave a very ptestring rendition of pi Calvary, by Paul Rodney. _ The eulogy of the evening was de% ; , liven*) hi Andrew C. Bovwell. City : , I Solicitor. Mr. ^Boswell's address waan illuminating 'exposition of the priaci pies of American citizenship. w j "It is hard to think," said he that io the accumulation of wealth shooid be bu regarded a* mure honorable than sen - o, ice to one's country and to humtnit -. m, 1 >lo not believe we in America differ i„ io thU respect from people of other'ex land. I .... not believe we are more A| merceiH ry than other people. The jntiuth, however, cannot he denied, we are far too much im- red to evaluate everything in to- of dollars an.i cents. hs Will the woman bring new Mud* #h into politics 7 ! am profoundly impressed they will. Now- that the -f ran- m, . c'liee has-been e* tende I tr th-.vy >-.-e wonder why they were ever denied the right. Man lias always exercised the right. Mar., however, has often Hi \ himself unworthy of the trust. Msnd not infrequently has he bartered „u and sold his vote to the highest bidder. re The extension of the franchise to su ^ women is only an amplification of the i first principle of the American constitution. and I hove no fear the women of our land will not wisely use g, their power. Pj In condosim-., Mr. Bos well, im- sp

pressed upon his hearers the necessit); of familiarxing themselv/s with the nature and form* of our governmental system su that they could intelligently pxercise tlieir new- ncquire<l power. ERev. Grant Harris brought a message of greeting to the women, and with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, the meeting terminated. o 4- , BIRTHDAY PARTY Bluebird*, Figure in Scheme of Decorations L, ' Master eGorge Adams, the grahdson of Mr. and Mrs. G. \V. I'laut, played the role of host, upon his sixth r birthday anniversary, March .'list, in v a manner very creditable to himself. ,. The merry party assembled at the .- home of his grandparents. 103* Wesley avenue, and a delightful time was -pent. £ The table was decorated beautifully " with bluebird* figuring in the scheme, the renter piece being n large uuua- ^ rium of gold fish. ' Young Master .George, assisted in the duties _ of hti.-t by Mrs. Simms, 1 Mrs. Young and Mrs. Plaut, left nothing to he desired in the form of. pn- . 'ertainment for the guests. Numerous games were played, and the refreshments were abundant. Th.crowning glory of the festivities to the l young host, was the unexpected - isit. : of hi> mother from Newark.

PINOCHLE CHAMPIONS ' * ' Leaguer* lb-foal Republican* — Score ' 2*5-2763 The . pinochle team A of the Youlig ! Men's progressive League, and the City Republican Club, met for < the second battle royal, on Wednesday > night' at the League's headquarters in i the Hann Building. . I From the start to finish the game was hotly contested, and for a time e the issue was doubtful. * The leaguer* drew first blood, and i finally vanquished their rivals with a c margin of 222 points. There remains one game more to p decide the championship, which will be I played next Wednesday. > Both teams are sanguine of vie- * tory and determined to give their s rivals no quarter. %. DAUGHTERS OF AMERICA UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT G The Daughter* of America practice what is certainly an unique method of " entertaining themselves; a custom, which by the way, is strongly rem- I! , iniseent of the fine spirit of democracy _ and equality which prevailed among Mayflower founders of the nation. Last Friday evening, at the Hann Building, they gave one of their picnic suppers. Each member w as requested to bring something edible with her. The good things were all spread on the tables, awl everybody present, without formal- ^ or deference to soda) rank, w as invited to sit and eat The arrangement most assuredly provides a variety from which to choose with something to tickle every palate. Incidentally too, the custom is indirectly a splendid lesson in the art of cooking, with ample opportunity to exchange notes and recipes. CITY WILL LOSE TWO ATHLETES Fortunately the sport team* of the City High School will lose only members by graduation the coming June; namely, Dick Torbit, a former Wilmington high school athlete, who played on the Maroon and football team last season, and Blaekman, manager of the past season's basketball quintette. pfatyera It i- true were good am! loss will be keenly felt.' Nevertheless, it frequently happenthat school team* are too sadly depleted at the close of a season for any great showing the following year. KIETH HALL Mr. and Mr*. Jo*. C.

2 ROUGH RIDERS CARNIVAL NIGHT - I Round-up No. 5, in the Saddle Transmogrification of Two Tnderfeet When the Rough Riders of Roundup. N-v 5, met for their grand rally, Friday evening, at their headquarter* k in the Haqn Building, there w-as j, thunder in the air, and faint odor of ,, '.-ulphur. The" stamping of firey steed*. the clanging of speer*. roars of laughe ter. catcalls and vociferous shouting ;. of the boys made strange music. Exiled through the greater part of the year amij the solitudes and siy fences of the broad prairies, the boyji* ■, must Iw given at interval* the oppor- >- tunity to use up their pent up stock of animal spirits. Better that than n have them run amuck through fie i, streets peppering windows with Afceir - deadly 45V. . r So they " cut loose on Fritfy, and fi r the reniaimler of the year, we may ' repose peasefully in our beds. It should be explained that the conclave was held in secret, behind locked and barred doors, all present sworn to secrecy under, fearful penalties., consequently our report js largely the • whisperings of rumor. Well, rumor has it, that it was one I grand gorgeous affair. Even E. Lear filled the importeni office of the I triple B: — Bos* Bronlho Buster. From what we know of the gentleman we are certain he functioned with infinite credit, to his genius. Before his flaming, searching eye. and at the sound of his soul-thrilling" , voice, the two Tenderfeet who were initiated into the ancient mj-stic rites of the cult, tremhle like aspen laaves. : •: A deadly pallor overspread their ■ contenances, a* they trod the lah-- ■ yrinthine pathway of horrors leading the mature glory of full fledged Riders. The awful, blood-curdling experi- - enccs of the Spanish Inquisition were i summer picnic in comparison. Never the stamena, endurance and of men so severely tired. By the time the two novitiates had passed through the hands of the Big run the gauntlet of the Lasso and faced the terrible gunmen, whom, so we are informed, able to singe the eyelashes of a. mosquito without bringing tears, there was not much left of them. Sertram M. Darby, in the role Grand Panganarum delivered a most solemn and impressive charge to the novitiates. It was a memorable scene. For u moment the Rider* forgot they were Rough. It was the voice of doom. ran down every cheek. Strong

men grew pale, and the sound of sobbing Interrupted the weaker. Ice-chills creeped up and down the IT pine, and. tin- 1-b-ath came in short || tarcato ga*p - Ev«»t the speaker was deeply affect ed. rfx jie outlined, to .the Tenderfeet J- Che solemn obligations they were unr ilertaking. and the fearful fate decreed to all who betrayed their oath. It was an unforgetabla scene. We are not able, so carefully are the secrets guarded, to designate the partied- ular office relegated to Dr. J. Thorn y , ley Hughes. rs Without question he was the- suss preme, grand and mighty smile^nakcr, nf but whether he also functioned in a I*, medical capacity, attending the novitiates, with something to revive their ig drooping spirits, we cannot say .

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH ACTIVITIES ;- 'i'he pulpit of the First Baptist «1 Church was occupied on Sunday- by ii-IScv. W. Dollar. Cope. Splendid <?0n<„gregation- attended both services to e greet Rev. Cope, whom, we are informed, will supply the pulpit during e the summer. ,. The subject of the evening's dise course was the fascinating story of the „ Jewish ruler, anil member of the SanP hedrin, named Nichhodemus, who came p to Jesus by night. It was a practical message. * the .. preacher applying, very impressively. g- every phase of the incident to the p exigences of every day life. g Tuesday afternoon the Ladies' Aid i. Society w ill meet for their sewing circle, to be followed by a picnic supper, r to which the men folk are invited. Ahot roast beef supper will be the r feature for Friday evening.
