NEW MOVEMENT FOR HEALTH
National Organization For the Con
servation of Life Is Proposed.
According to llgurcs presented by
Professor Monroe N. Work at the re
cent annual farmers' conference, held
at the Tusk epee lAla.l institute, nearly
half a million colored people who live
iti the south are seriously ill the whole
year, lie places the cost of this sick
uess among our people at about s7f>.
000.000. Mr. Work also says that 100.-
000 colored persons of the working
class are sick all the time and that the
annual loss in earnings from said Ill
ness amounts to more than $40,000,000.
The farming interests of the south
fose annually from sickness and deaths
among the colored population, accord
ing to the same author, $200,000,000.
The application of preventive medi
cine to the masses Is now being
thought of by leaders in the various
southern states. It Is said that by re
ducing such a loss in money about half
and adding the same to the amount
now expended for public education It
would provide good school bouses and
six months’ schooling for every child,
white and colored. In the south.
As a result of the conference a na
tional organization fort the conserva
tion of health is iu process of forma
tlon. Tills organization is to be made
up of the various organizations that
already exist among the colored people
in the south, such as state medical as
social lons, church denominations, na
tional secret societies, etc. It Is to co
operate with the state hoards of health,
city health departments and other
agencies in order to promote health
conservation among the mas: vs of our
people.
MAYOR UPHOLDS THE LAW.
Orders Removal of Objectionable Sign
From Newark (O.) Playhouse.
Newark, O.—A committee represent
ing the local Afro-American Citizens’
Rights league called on Mayor Big
bee of tills town recently and request
ed that a sign in the main entrance of
the Orpheum theater reading, “For
Caucasians Only,” be removed. The
mayor suggested thnri the members of
the committee visit the theater, at
tempt to purchase tickets, and if un
successful. to return to his office and
he would do the rest.
The suggestion was carried out. the
tickets were refused and the commit
tee returned to the mayor’s office,
who immediately telephoned the chief
of police to have an officer bring the
manager of the theater to his office,
which was done. After reading Hon.
Harry C. Smith’s Ohio civil rights law

warning him that any violation of the
same on his part would bring him un-

no time in doing. The manager of the j
theater was also ordered to use no i
discrimination against colored people j
in seating and charging patrons. The i
next evening Frank 1». Norman receiv- j
ed and used liis tickets to attend the ;
evening performace. The Ohio civil |
rights bill was drawn by Harry C\

BROOKLYN'S OLD LANDMARK
RECEIVES GENEROUS AID
Managers of Home For Aged Colored’
People Hear Encouraging Reports.
At the February meeting of the
board of managers of the Home For
Aged Colored People in Brooklyn very
encouraging reports were made on the
efforts of the public to assist in the
maintenance of the institution. The
various churches and women’s clubs
render substantial aid to the work of
the home from time to time. The in
stitution is one of Brooklyn’s old land
marks. At Christmas and other na
tional holidays the home is the objec
tive point of a great many visitors.
Among the business transacted at
the meeting was a change in the con
stitution creating the office of assistant
treasurer In order to lessen the work
of Mrs. William B. Lane, who ha = for
several years served as treasurer and
whoop recent illness has revealed the
fqyt That she was doing more than
ought rightfully l>e expected of her
Mrs. Charles J. Search has consented
to act as assistant treasurer until the
annual election in April.
A generous gift W a hundred gar
ments was retorted from the Flatbush
Needlework guild and one of fifty gar
meats from the Brooklyn Needlework
guild. The work committee reported
the sale of several of the dish towels
and rugs made by the old people and
asked for colored cotton rags to be
used as material for the rugs. The ap
penl to the colored people of the city
was reported ns showing results, and
godd ones, but still greater efforts are
needed to increase the receipts.
The Lend a Hand club has been or
ganized in the Fleet Street A. M. E.
church for the especial purpose of rais
ing money for the home, and the Sons
of North Carolina have volunteered to
give an entertainment for the cause.
This work is being pushed vigorously
by Mrs. A. Wiley, secretary, and Mrs.
Frank Gilbert, who are the committee
in charge of it. •
The members of the board were espe
cially pleased to hear from Mrs. George
11. Stone, chairman of the visiting
committee, that an atmosphere of hap
piness and content prevailed among
the old people, helped very largely by
the wise administration of the superin
tendent, Mrs. Frances U. Underhill.

OLD HOMESTEAD
OF DOUGLASS
Wily the Property Is Under
Heavy Mortgage.
NEW LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT
W>H the Great Anti-slavery Agitator
Was Not Properly Drawn—Death
Defeated the Good Intentions of
Mrs. Douglass—Time For Race Loy
alty to Assert Itself.
Washington.—There have been a num
ber of inquiries, says Ralph W. Tyler
of this city, as to the existing mort
gage on the old home here of the late
Frederick Douglass. Many cannot un
derstand why the home should rest un
der a mortgage when Mr. Douglass
was supposed to have been quite well
off at his death. The estate of Mr.
Douglass did mount up to quite a
sum at his death. A defective will,
made defective by an insufficient num
ber of witnesses, caused the property
to be distributed according to law rath
er than according to the will of the
testator.
Tlie widow of Mr. Douglass desired
that tlie old house, containing a mu
seum of anti-slavery and Douglass
relies. the furniture, books, manu
scripts and curios of the great orator,
publi- i't and anti-slavery leader, should
be bequeathed to the race as a me
morial to her husband. To do this it:
was necessary for her to buy in the
homo from the other heirs that she
mip! t have a clear title to It. This
she did. giving $15,000 for the old
honn -toad 011 Cedar hill.
In rder to make the purchase, how
ever it was necessary for her to bor
row money with which to purchase the
equity of the other heirs. She died
before she could pay off that mort
gage In her last will and testament
she h'Miueathed the home, with all its
rich and priceless possessions, to the
race Mr. Douglass had fearlessly
championed and served. She might
have bequeathed it to her own rela
tives. but she choose to will it to the

put the home in proper repair in order
i t. -t to save the home to the nice and

tributed to even keep up the inter

It Is figured that if $13,000 is rais.nl

There are fifteen acres in the Doug

utiful point in all Washington, over

last appeal, and responds quickly, the

race. As the legal owners of this

wi:!i contributions to pay off this debt,
and tills response should come quickly.
