Everything wan arranged for their coming a treat for which any city anywhere would have been proud. Arriving at the elation, the big delegations at once took car for Cowansvllle, one and a half miles away, hut even along that short spaiul, inhaling the fragrant odor of the Moral kingdom dispersed along the way, one was vividly reminded of that memorable morn and those two godly women went bounding up the highway towards Jerusalem, wnen, tne aew was sun kpbikuhk l-pon the r.oral whirs oi creation the chirping of the musical songsters of the bow and as the f ran rant odor of nature's boquet pur mcatcd the very air on that balmy Easter morning, being the first nics sengers to carry the glad tidings. "He has risen as He said." Arriving at their distinction, the towing steeples of four churches, atiKounced the presence of "The Crown and the Cross" and after tak ing In the situation of the small but beautiful hamlet, the whole craw, Kir Knlxhts, Crusades, brothers, sis ters and friends marched around the lavishly prepared table to endulge in a repast that would have given prestige to any king or queen. After dinner wat served, and as much of the ten gallons of ice cream pressed Into service as possible, the hour for the rendition of the Easter program was nigh at hand and at the command of the Eminent Com mander, the Captain General lined up the Sir Knights and marched s;ra!f,ht to the place of worship. The marching column was quite an onioning spectacular, entering the church, the officer of the day at once ln-an the Easter program for which wot'ds of commendation is still the home gossip. Ending the National ' K. T., Faster program, a very dls tinguishod lady was introduced to the spell hound congregation. Mad am G. v.

M, was Quite SpM tacnlar. The line formed a spectacular af fair at the head of Houston street, and proceeded down HouBton to the Texas and Pacific depot and up Main to the court, house. There were floats carrying representatives of the various churches. Industry, profes- eiuun, uibuup. Prairie View and other colleges, and the public schools of the city and several of the local fraternal Institutions of the city were represented. The marching column was about 30 minutes passing any given point along the line which was headed by the K. of P. band and discharged soldiers. At night, the discharged soldiers were entertained at the Chamber of Commerce. A very splendid program was ren dered. The welcome address was deliver ed by Judge I. H. Burney, chair man, .Fort Worth and Tarrant Coun ty A. K. C, In the absence of Mayor W. IX Davis, who was delayed and detained as a committeeman on the Victory Liberty Loan Board. Judge Burney, gave out some time ly advice and Instructions - not only to the discharged soldiers from the front, but such as would be whole some to any struggling race on earth. In part he said that he was unaware of the numerical and finan cial strength of the Colored people of Ft Worth, until became associated with the Red Cross work of the city. Said be, I found then always ready to serve. Pointing at the Negro He- roes who sat on the front rows of the central section of the auditort- um he said, "I am pleased to public ly welcome the Colored boys from the front. I wonder If you have that deep appreciation of the cause for which you fought so bravely. If aristocracy had predominated, where would you have been now? The American flag is your flag as much ns It Is mine. You, the Colored boI- dier of the southland, have proven great general. Now to appreciate the victory you so ably helped to win, you must be willing to return to tho task you left or you will be worse off than when you went away, country has not changed. No one will honor you if you do not. first honor yourself. I hope there will not be an Idle soldier in Fort Worth in the next fifteen uays, and I hope we will get along In Fort Worth In tho future better than we have in the past and I know we will If you will be as good In the future as you have been In the past and if the white people will be as good as you have been." Referring to the Musical Directress, Mrs. S. II. Fowler, Judge Burney, said: "If the rest of the program is as good as that which has been rendered I hope It will 1 st all night. Tho directress would gi&ce any mua Icul ' class and Is equalled to anv I h-.ve ever sees or heard. I . am proud of Ft. Worth Colored people. We can't get along without you, nor can yea get. alct)g without us." Prof. E. L. Rlackshear, next ap peared and referring to the loyalty of tho American Negro, he said in part: "We have emblhed and are inspired by Amerlra's Spirit. When trouble broko out at home in which conflict the freedom of all races af America was established, the slave vria called to help write the doeu mcat with his. blood. He responded, while the rest stool between the Wolf and his Masters' door In the Spanish American Wn-( he was again 12. R. t. C:LT'K, DENIISf All moderu equipment Best told used, all work guaranteed.

Every time the whits wan gets into trouble, he calls out at otice, "Con.e on you Darkles." Even in this great World's War, he went across and on to victory because the white man, who predominates, called for you, hail and hearty men who were not afraid to die. "What ever the American Negro is called upon to do, be loyally responds. I be lieve you to the soldierb will be sensible and keep, cool and level heads now as did you over there. I will change the Judges state ment that you return to your former places and do your work as before. I say do It better than before. Don't do anything to have It said that a Negro soldier has been arrested. In conclusion, he left for the Negro soldier a geometrical problem, to prove as it appeared, to me. If the Stars and Stripes form an insigna for America's Liberty, aud the sol dier kha-kl insigna of America, liberty, then love your uniform for "things which equal each other are equal to the same thing and vice versa. Before be could make his exit from the stage he' was commanded to halt and when he "right-about-faced" he behold a most charming loving cup in the hanls of Mrs. Echols as repre sentative of the Prairie View Alumni class of Fort Worth. In their name she presented that most beautiful flow of rhetorical essence protraylng bia work, as a benefactor and educa tor in such a manner that had De mosthenes appeared on the stage he would have quietly seated himself in perfect seclusion, grieved over the transfer of his gift. Space will not permit mentioning rendition of this occasion, but to not mentldn some of the good things said by Prof. J. Gentry Horace, Secretary N. A. A, C. P., would be an injustice to this great commonwealth. Prof. Horace, without any pre liminary remarks, told of the object of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In short he said that Jits plea was for Trial by Jury, Aboliuhlon of the en actments which disfranchise the black man, the " eradication of the Jim Crow signs, and for Free and Equal Rights, and Privileges as an American Citizen rated on meritori ous basis. We ask only for a man's chance. The fight is on and will not cease until the concession is made, fight is not one of arms, but one in which confidence in man and faith In Almighty God united their forces of justice and change over the breast works, prejudice and cap ture, re-take that which belongs to every man. Many good things were said and will not permit of their being men tioned with due credit. It goes with out saying that the "Black Mamma's" speeches were in evidence. Prof. 8. H. Fowler spared no ef fort to make this, affair a success. Tho above is the Jlkeness of Rev. J. B.

Tho neighbor hood was frantic with excitement when the horrible death of Mrs. Hattie Wade was revealed to the crowd as they watched the former home of comfort burning down- to 'ashes with its mistress alone in her room pinned beneath the angry flames. An hour or more previous to the terrible disaster, Mrs. Wade informed Mrs. Rosa Taylor, her sister that she wanted her to carry Charles Etta, her little daughter to the pa rade. Mrs. Taylor, at the time knew that Mrs. Wade would be all alone, to this end she (Mrs. Taylor) feel ing she should object, after which it is alleged, that Mrs. Wade insisted stating that she was feeling all right and wanted the baby to see the parade. Mrs. Taylor then began dressing and afterwards, the little girl, then she asked Mrs. Victorine Wade and the little girl proceeded to the .car line, they were overtakened and in formed that their home was on fire. G. Labruzzo, proprietor of -a gro cery Btore, corner of Boll and Trini dad made this statement to an Ex press representative: "My wife ffrst informed me by calling me, saying 'run quick, Mr. Wade's home is on Are.' I rushed to the back of my store which is separ ated from the Wade home by a fence at which time the flames bad gnawed its way through the front of the building, knowing that Mrs. Wade was therein and had burned up, I ran got the hose and began shooting water on my Rtore to safeguard it from the fire." I don't know how it. caught, mother Wade was doing some laundry work for in at the time, the fire started.' " She after wards went in the burning building from the rear and was badly burned about the face and arms. Mrs. Rebecca Fellows, 2620 Trini dad, the first person to enter the burning building an attempted to res cue Mrs. Wade from the angry flames was Interviewed by an Express represenatlve and made the follow ing statement . . "My attention was first attracted by the screams of Mrs. Watts liv ing at 2625 Trinidad and a door neighbor of the Wades, I threw a rap around my shoulders and told my sick sister whom I was nursing that Mrs. Wade's home was burning I rushed to the -fcurnlng building knowing that a sick lady was therein opined the screen and under thick fogs of smoke saw thaK Mrs. Wade had. crawled from her bed room to the hall seemingly trying to reach a place of safety, but was overcome by the intensive heat, her hir ani clothes were burning and her face was burned black and was beyond recognition, the Are was leaping from the room between the unfortunate woinun and myself and I was afraid to take my chances with the flames. I then screamed for help and had to leave the building for the blaze by this time had circled the enclo sure of the building. The hope of rescuing Mrs. Wade was then lost her body was hidden .beneath the wind swept flames and was released when it was extinguished by the firemen badly charred. Mrs. Wade was the wife of Charles Wade, a highly respected citizen and a very prominent lodge man of the city. To the union one child, a lit tle girl survive.
