CHARGES AGAINST K. N. E. A. PRESIDENT AND PRINCIPAL DISMISSED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE SEVERAL HOURS SPENT IN DELIBERATION In carrying the reprint of an article in last week's Leader that appeared in the daily press of Wednesday, November 21, which included a petition by colored citizens of Bowling Green, Ky., setting forth therein charges of immoral conduct and drunkenness against Prof. E. E. Reed, principal of the High School of that city and president of the K. N. E. A., the Leader stated that Prof. Reed claimed that the charges against him were those of his enemies. In a most recent communication from Bowling Green, it is again expressed that the charges contained in the petition against Prof. Reed are absolutely no semblance of the truth. Cleared by Board of Education. A copy of the Times Journal of November 24, has also been forwarded to the Leader office, which carries the the meeting of the Board of Education Friday night, November 23, at which time Prof. Reed was exonerated, after a hearing of both sides, by unanimous vote of that body. The meeting and the findings of the Board is reprinted herewith as appeared in the Times-Journal: The city school board met here last Friday night at the College street school, fully exonerated the principal by a unanimous vote. The matter was brought before the board in a report from a special committee composed of Sam D. Hines and G. H. Hardman and the reading of the affidavits bringing charges against Principal Reed. When the matter was brought before the board the affidavits bringing certain charges against Reed were read by Secretary Williams. This was followed by a statement by Supt. Cherry as to Reed's qualifications and as to the detriment that would accrue to the school should he be given up at this time. He said that morally as far as he knew, visiting the schools week by week, he had never known of any unusual or ungentlemanly act on the part of Reed during his ten years of service as principal of the State Street school. Reed was then called before the board and in a sworn statement made denial of the allegations set forth against him, explaining in details the main charges contained in affidavits, to the satisfaction of the board. The report of the special committee composed of Hines and Herdman stated that the matter had been thoroughly investigated and that charges made were not sustained by the evidence and further that his finding, together with the best interest of the school, actuated the committee in its report. The report was made in writing. The board after hearing the reading of the affidavits and receiving the report of the committee voted unanimously to sustain the report. About a year ago, similar charges were brought against Reed and after the matter had been thoroughly sifted in the city court, he was then exonerated by the court. The matter was again brought to the attention of the city school board by a suit filed in the Circuit Court seeking the discharge of Reed from the principalship of the State Street Colored School. This suit will come before the court next February. Following the filing of the suit the board began another investigation with the findings above stated. Other minor matters came before the board. H. D. Fitch, having resigned from the board, E. B. Stout, who was elected a member of the board at the recent election, was elected by the board last night to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Fitch. The building committee reported the completion of the walks, driveways and sodding of the High School grounds. MRS.

About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Our top-rated model, this fridge offers near-perfect temperature management and enough features to fit anyone's needs. Adjustable glass shelves slide out smoothly, making it easy to access small items hidden in the back. We found the fridge shelves heavy and hard to remove and rearrange however. One glass shelf slides back and under itself, making room for tall items like wine and soda bottles on the shelf below it. Adjustable bins on the refrigerator door hold up to six one-gallon containers. Keep in mind that the door is warmer than the inside, so it's okay for storing soda, but not milk or other highly perishable foods. If you entertain often, you'll love the two icemakers (one in the fridge and one in the freezer), the hanging wine rack, and the wide drawer that can accommodate a huge platter of hors d'oeuvres or even a sheet cake. When we stored Boston lettuce in the crisper drawer for six days, it emerged looking fresher than when it went in!
The handle on the freezer door has a mechanism that makes it easier to open, especially when the freezer's packed to the gills. If you have small children or anyone with limited strength in your household, this will be a big bonus. The main freezer compartment has an adjustable removable divider, giving you maximum flexibility when you're loading it up. On the freezer door, there's a slot to store a 16-inch pizza, where it's easy to grab but can't get crushed. A call to customer service was answered in less than two minutes by a representative who was exceptionally patient and very helpful. Unfortunately, you can't rely on the owner's manual to explain how the features work. lowes.com.

General Motors pulls $10M Facebook advertising ahead of social networks IPO
The world's biggest car company General Motors has pulled $10 million USD of Facebook advertising just days before the social network begins trading on the stock exchange.
Talking to the Wall Street Journal Pat Morrissey, director GM product and brand communication said it's not unusual for the brand to move its spending around various media outlets, particularly since the rise of social media. GM has reportedly said that Facebook ads have yet to demonstrate significant impact on car purchases, but it will remain committed to engaging with customers via its Facebook page.
He continued, "In terms of Facebook specifically, while we currently do not plan to continue with advertising, we remain committed to an aggressive content strategy through all of our products and brands, as it continues to be a very effective tool for engaging with our customers."
According to the WSJ, GM has spent approximately $40 million on its Facebook presence – a quarter of which was directly to the social network for advertising. The other $30 million apparently paid for content creation and agency fees, one of which, social media agency Big Fuel, was dropped from the car manufacturers agency roster last December. According to ad-tracking company Kantar Media, the car manufacturer is in the top three advertising spenders, with a 2011 ad spend of $1.1 billion.
Facebook is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq this Friday, just after days after co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg celebrates his 28th birthday. Facebook has also officially boosted the price of its shares by approximately 15%, which is expected to net the social network anywhere up to $104 billion. Earlier this week it was reported that co-founder Eduardo Saverin has given up his US citizenship, which as a 2% shareholder will save him paying out almost $40 million in taxes to the US government.
Time will tell if the move by General Motors will prompt a similar reaction from other major Facebook advertisers, which netted the social network just shy of $4 billion last year.

I have readers ask me all the time about finding particular Italian wines – some of these are the wines I write about, while others are wines that readers have encountered. Thus I thought I'd mention a few things about this process.
I write about wines that impress me and often these are from small estates; thus it will be difficult to find these wines throughout the United States. Some producers don't even export their wines to the States, due to limited production or legal paperwork, but most do. But most cannot supply a national importer that needs enough wine for restaurant and retail chains as well as hotels and clubs. So it's the small importers that handle a lot of the finest Italian wines.
This means that you might find a particular wine in the New York City area as well as other major markets such as Chicago and San Francisco. Or there might be a small estate that only has two or three importers across the country, so you could only find their wines in places such as North Carolina, California or Florida. It's different with every estate.
I choose to write about the best and most interesting wines from Italy to let readers get a better understanding of what the Italian wine industry is all about. If I only wrote about wines that had national distribution, I'd be limiting myself to the same 200-300 wines again and again. Very nice estates, mind you, but when you realize the thousands of wine producers in Italy, you know why I do it this way.
In short, there are two ways I recommend when you need to find a particular wine in the U.S. (assuming it is available). One is to ask a good local retailer in your area, especially one that carries many small estates from Italy (and the rest of the world). The second is to do a google search, listing the producer and wine. You'd be surprised how many sites you'll find that might carry the wine and have it for sale over the internet.
If you don't find a particular wine, try something similar. Italian wine is all about variety and local traditions, so you'll probably discover something exciting!

I am intrigued by your site! I have recently launched a site dealing in custom designed itineraries for Italy. What interested me was your blog on the Vitoska wine. I started this business because of my strong connection with the Friuli region and the fact that it is widely unknown in terms of Italian tourism. My desire and quest is to open this area up to food and wine tourism. Obviously a lot of great wine comes from the Friuli region, but so much of it is unknown and under appreciated. I am also very interested in the Prosecco area and in also improving tourism to that area. I wonder if you would be interested at all in co-creating a few wine tours or in leading a tour. In Friuli you have a number of different areas producing some unique wines, as you well know. I love the carso, it is a unique area, one that I know fairly well as I spend a good amount of time in Trieste. I would love to hear any thoughts you have or advice as to the wineries that may be the best for touring and education. Thank you for your attention and time, Leslie Geiringer

Hawaii comes to Cooperstown
It all started with the December 2006 issue of Memories and Dreams, the official magazine of the Baseball Hall of Fame .
Curator Lenny DiFranza's article on the first artifacts donated to the Museum featured a 1938 photo of the Honolulu Conservatory of Music building on Main Street in Cooperstown, which was demolished to make way for the Hall of Fame and Museum. Being that I was born and raised in Hawaii, I wondered how in the world a conservatory from back home ended up in Cooperstown, let alone on the site of the Hall.
Recently, with the assistance of local historians in Cooperstown, and Museum and library staffs in Flint, Michigan and Cleveland, I was able to piece together a part of the story – although a few mysteries remain.
The Oahu Publishing Company/Honolulu Conservatory of Music was established in Flint, Michigan in the mid-1920s by half brothers Harry G. Stanley and George A. Bronson. Why Flint? Because of the auto industry, Flint attracted workers from across the U.S., including Hawaii (a territory at the time). By all indications, the Hawaiians brought their music with them, and this provided the impetus for the brothers to capitalize on the nationwide craze for this music by publishing sheet music and providing guitar instruction. Eventually, they opened 1,200 studios across the U.S., Canada, and other foreign countries.
Interestingly, one of these studios found its way to Cooperstown. In the Feb. 11, 1938 issue of The Otsego Farmer, an ad announced that Philip J. Colwell opened a Honolulu Conservatory of Music location on 29 Pioneer Street. It also invited residents to learn the "slides, slurs, variations and trick playing that puts the Hawaiian guitar in first place today."
Business must have been brisk – on April 20, 1938, an article in The Freeman's Journal stated that Colwell moved to a larger location at 33 Main Street, the site of the current Museum. This takes us back to the photo in Lenny's article. By the time of the Museum's dedication on June 12, 1939, the Conservatory building was long gone. Colwell's business was listed in the 1938 Cooperstown Village Directory, but was nowhere to be found when the next directory was published in 1940.
So what happened? There are no indications that Colwell moved to a new location, or opened other studios in the area. Why did he fold up a business that seemed to be thriving and riding the wave of Hawaiian music's popularity? These are questions I will continue to pursue.
Ultimately, while there wasn't the direct connection between Cooperstown and my home state that I had hoped for, I was glad to learn about the spread of the islands' music across the country. And I know that once Hawaiian natives Sid Fernandez, Benny Agbayani and Shane Victorino are inducted into the Hall – or so I hope – the Hawaiian connection will truly be complete!

quote:Possibly, but how do I change this?
quote:Maybe. I've found lately that leaving a lamp on actually helps me sleep better. It's not out of a fear of the dark or anything. I notice that when I turn off all lights it literally leaves me with nothing but my thoughts and then they just go ape shite. But if I leave a lamp on I feel more like you do when you hop into bed for an afternoon nap or something and find it easier to doze off. I usually have some low music playing too.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - An essay written by Dr. Kristianne Kalata Vaccaro, Westminster assistant professor of English, was published in Nineteenth-Century British Travelers in the New World, a collection of essays on 19th-century British travelers' perceptions of America.
Vaccaro's essay, "Telling 'a still more dismal story': Cultural Role-Playing and Surrogate Narration in Kemble's Georgian Journal," explores a travel journal that celebrated actress Fanny Kemble wrote while living on her American husband's plantation in the late 1830s.
The essay studies how Kemble's theatre background informs her narration of the slaves' daily experience. Vaccaro argues the journal's emphasis on acts of role-playing and spectating culminates in Kemble's performance of slave women's voices, a performance that is simultaneously sympathetic and condescending.
"Such performances contribute to our understanding of how slavery was narratively constructed for both British and American readers," Vaccaro said.
Vaccaro, a Westminster graduate who joined the faculty in 2008, earned a master's degree and Ph.D. from Duquesne University.
Contact Vaccaro at (724) 946-7350 or email for more information.

Technology advancements have touched every facet of life including education. This latter has been radically transformed and teachers who do not use social media and educational technology in their teaching no longer fit in the new system.That's why every educator and teacher should reconsider certain values and principles .
Today I am sharing with you two short videos that will hopefully change what some think about teaching. The following videos are among the top educative videos online .
Watch this first one minute 40 seconds video to see the negative side of some teachers.
Here is a set of recommendations for the 21st century teachers to reconsider in order to adequately prepare today's students for their future:
- Share and model the use of current Internet tools
- Participate in professional networks
- Assist students as they build their learning networks
- Provide sufficient learning opportunities for students to become digitally literate
- Inspire every child to be quality digital global citizens.
The 21st century teachers are characterized by certain holistic and student centered features , some of them are summarized below . Gratitude and thanks go back to Andrew Churches who has provided this diagram .
The risk taker :
Teachers should not wait for others to take the initiative , they have to be the lead. Show your students that everything can be learnt through risk and initiative taking and sometimes surrender yourself to your students' knowledge . They will definitely love you and trust you even more and guess what ? This trust is the key to better learning and engagement.
The Collaborator :
The central theme in your work should always be collaboration . Incorporate the collaborative tools web2.0 offers .They are free and highly effective. Ning ,Bebo, Myspace, Secondlife, Msn, blogger and wikispaces are but some few examples, Educational Technology and Mobile Learning and several other edublogs will provide you with the necessary tools to start with.
The model :
Teachers' job is not just instilling information in students minds though instilling is not a proper term to use, but they are also there to give the exemplary model of how the life long learner should be. Students are very much influenced by their teachers' behaviors therefore the 21st century teachers need to model several characteristics such as :
- Reflective thinking and practice
- Tolerance
- Coexistence
- Affection, love , tenderness
- Love of technology and digital information
- Global awareness
The leader :
To better understand the notion of leadership there is nothing better than to read an awesome paper created by Thousand and Villasand entitled Managing complex change towards inclusive schooling .
The visionary :
Teachers must be imaginative . They need to foresee the potential of the emerging technologies, look into other areas of the curricula and across disciplines, make links that enhance and value learning in other fields to leverage this knowledge and reinforce their teaching and the learning of their students .
The learner :
Learning is a continuous process , a life long commitment to knowledge , teachers should always seek knowledge everywhere using technology . The world is dynamic and the horizons and landscapes are changing so do the teachers' needs and skills.
The communicator :
the 21st century teacher should be fluent in the use of communication and information technologies ,know how to facilitate, stimulate, control, moderate and manage them.
The adaptor :
Different as they are the modes of learning , teachers should always make their teaching styles adaptive to :
- The new curriculum requirements
- The emerging web2.0 technologies
- The various age groups and abilities
- The new dynamic teaching experiences.
Finally and to conclude , I have selected for you this great videos . Watch what these leading educational thinkers say about the 21st century skills teachers need to have . Enjoy watching .
Here is a an Interesting slide show I want to share with you.

A boat trip to visit the islands of Recife can become a unique experience. The city offers tour operators with programs to visit the existing natural beauty and stroll through the canals that make the Recife the Venice of Brazil. Further away, but worth a trip to, is the island of Itamaracá, a true natural paradise.
Make an Island Tour to enclose the three local islands - Recife, Boa Vista and Santo António - it's a different way of getting to know the state capital of Pernambuco. But just 47 km from the city, on the north coast, is the beautiful Itamaracá Island, mandatory stopping point for those who are fascinated by warm waters and good sunbathing. Itamaracá means "stone that sings" in the indigenous language and attracts tourists mainly for its natural beauty, for nature conservation and its beaches. With an area of 65 km2, this former fishing village now has about 18 000 inhabitants that live mainly from tourism. The tour can begin in Vila Velha, where you can see the houses and chapels dating from the sixteenth century. To enjoy a day in the sun, the Fort, Coroa do Avião, Enseada dos Golfinhos or Pontal da Ilha beaches are great alternatives. The Centre for Aquatic Mammals also awaits those who want to learn more about marine life.

During a Dec. 7 retreat, Sarasota County commissioners cited park maintenance as a major goal for 2013.
Three days later, Judge Maryann Boehm ruled the city of Sarasota couldn't enforce an outdoor smoking ban. The Florida Clean Indoor Air Act delegates that power to the state.
As a result of that ruling, neither the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office nor Parks and Recreation staff can prevent smoking at the 111 public parks and 10 public beaches in Sarasota County.
But, Florida Rep. Bill Hager plans to file a bill that would remove the so-called pre-emptive clause from the Florida Clean Indoor Air Act. Municipalities would then be allowed to regulate outdoor smoking.
"There is great support for protecting the health and safety of our community, and for preserving the natural beauty of our Florida beaches," Hager said in an emailed statement.
In 2011, Hager led the push to allow local school districts to ban smoking on school property, which is part of the pre-emptive clause in the smoking act.
"They obviously acknowledged there's a problem, because they carved out that exception for schools," said Sarasota County Commissioner Joe Barbetta, during a Jan. 11 phone interview.
Also in 2011, Rep. Kathleen Passidimo sponsored a similar bill with Rep. D. Alan Hays that died the following year in the Community and Military Affairs Committee.
"There's going to be a big push," said Sarasota County Commissioner Nora Patterson.
The Florida League of Counties and the Florida League of Cities will be behind the bill, according to Patterson. The two organizations lobby for municipalities' interests in the state, such as local government's share of the British Petroleum settlement funding.
"This bill will be filed shortly, and I am expecting strong, bi-partisan support," Hager said in the statement.
"I don't think it's a good idea to ban smoking," said Jean Guy-Brochu, a tourist from Quebec, Canada, and former smoker, as he left the beach Jan. 15. He said that smoking can do harm to people and the environment.
"I think you can just politely ask someone to stop, and that's enough," Brochu said.
Brochu and at least eight other tourists visiting Siesta beach Jan. 15 said they did not notice anyone smoking on the beach. There were split on preference for an outright ban.
Patterson said during the Jan. 15 Siesta Key Condo council meeting that the legislative change that Hager wants to initiate would likely trump a court challenge.
"I mean, the American Cancer Society is behind (the bill)," Patterson said.

- This is a must for all of our open spaces especially the beaches. Sitting on a beach for the pleasure of clean and fresh air is totally spoilt by those individuals who pollute the air by smoking. Also they inevtably leave their used smoking material on the beach which is a hazard to small children, offensive and unpleasent to walk on or even see - we need this stopped now. Local Goverment is the best arbiter of what people want not the State.

- You overstepped your bounds, and now you have to pay
i dont smoke and never did. And actually hate it.
Yet this is America your smoking ban on beaches in open air was over the top. Should have went after cigarette butts on the beach instead. and have a responsive police to enforce it.

triptych | tri-college digital library
THE number of persons who have vivid recollections of the months of uncertainty and agitation in this city just preceding the War of Secession has already become comparatively small, and every day sees it further decrease. It was forty-three years ago, on the 2d of this month, that Captain John Brown, the rugged old protagonist, of Kansas border war fame, was hanged at Charlestown, Va., for the insurrectionary raid at Harper's Ferry, by which he sought to Inaugurate a servile war that would win from the Southern States the freedom of the slaves. One year later, after the election of Lincoln to the Presidency, the passage of ordinances of secession by Southern constituent conventions and legislatures had begun, Five months after that South Caro- [Photograph with caption: "ISAAC H. CLOTHIER, As He Looked When He Managed an Anti-Slavery Lecture Course."] lina made the first aggression upon the National Government in Charleston harbor, and the gallant little garrison of Fort Sumter surrendered. The John Brown raid, the election of Lincoln, the commencement of secession and the actual levying of war by a few State-communities against the whole people were the sharply defined acts of a swiftly moving drama, that was really, however, only the prelude to a great tragedy. Each act, with all its tumultuous and deeply felt emotions, marked some progress in the evolution of public sentiment, either as provoked by it or provoking it. THE "UNDERGROUND RAILROAD." Philadelphia, both by moral and geographical analogy, represented very fairly in those days the average of the nation's thought. It was in more sympathetic touch with the South than the sister great cities to the northward and westward. Yet here the rational aversion to slavery had already had the profoundest root. [Drawing with caption: "J. MILLER McKIM, One of the Most Efficient Managers of the 'Underground Railroad.'"] Practical efforts in the direction of emancipation had distinguished it, more than intemperate propagandism. It was the greatest depot of the intangible "Underground Railroad" between bondage and freedom. The workings of this wonderful but silent league of the friends of human rights have furnished food for many volumes. Nearly all the more remarkable incidents in its history took place in Eastern Pennsylvania. Throughout the decade following the enactment of the Fugitive Slave law, in 1850, its passengers were constantly going through the City of Brotherly Love, or were in hiding here, awaiting the departure of a safe and convenient "train." No one has yet set down just how many white families in Philadelphia were concerned in the underground traffic. The whole truth will doubtless never appear, except in the balancing of the eternal books of fate. But in no other community in the United States, perhaps, was the slavery question so well understood, with so little gloss of false sentiment or fanatical prejudice, as here. All through the ante-bellum decade Southern search-officers and professional negro-hunters were to be seen in Philadelphia. The abounding pathos of the struggles toward freedom was quite often relieved by the ludicrous. As the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church, so the bloody capture of fugitive slaves at Christiana, in Lancaster county, in 1851, gave the greatest stimulus to the development of the "Underground Railroad." As the slaveholders ostentatiously viewed their slaves as chattels, so, too, there was a palpable irony in shipping some of them to the North in closely bound packages, like so much merchandise. Several negroes thus escaped from slavery were taken from their portable prisons in this city and expedited by various means and ways to Canada. It became a custom for them to assume, as an additional surname, the word "Box" in memory of their experience. One of the most famous escapes of this kind was that of Henry "Box" Brown, who arrived in Philadelphia from Richmond in a wooden case 2 feet 8 inches deep, 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. It was necessary that it should be of such small dimensions in order that no suspicion of its contents might be awakened. It was lined with baize, and was provisioned only with a beef-bladder filled with water and a few small biscuits. The slave was provided with a large gimlet, with which to make openings through the wood for the admission of air. The box was marked with a Philadelphia address and the cautions, "This side up, with care;" but Henry "Box" Brown traveled a good part of the way on his head. Doubled up as he was, with little breathing space and insufficient food, the chances were somewhat against his arriving alive or undetected at his journey's end. But, when the box was opened at the Anti-Slavery Society's headquarters, in the presence of J. Miller McKim and others, he emerged from it entirely self-possessed, though devoutly joyful, and greeted them with the words: "How do you do, gentlemen?" LEGAL CONTESTS FOR FREEDOM. The efforts of slaveholders to recover runaway negroes who had been found in this city, and counter efforts to save them, were the cause of many exciting scenes. Passmore Williamson was one of those who distinguished themselves by bold and timely friendship for the oppressed. He publicly encouraged a woman, with her two children, to leave her master, Colonel John H. Wheeler, of North Carolina, United States Minister to Nicaragua, who had brought them into this State, thereby subjecting them to a law which made them free. Williamson was held a prisoner for many months because he would not or could not satisfy a writ of habeas corpus Issued by a Federal Judge in behalf of Colonel Wheeler. This martyrdom helped the anti-slavery cause very greatly. The old Court House in Independence Square, on the Fifth street side, witnessed many exciting scenes in connection with proceedings for the recovery of runaway slaves. In one case, when a negro had been delivered into the hands of an officer to be returned to the South, and had been brought to a waiting carriage, he had no sooner stepped into it on one side than he sprang out on the other into the arms of a rescuing throng, and was borne away to Fort Washington, where Edward M. Davis and others of the Anti-Slavery Society guarded him all night with guns in their hands. In April, 1859, Daniel Dangerfield, a negro, was before United States Commissioner Longstreth, who had adjourned the hearing from his own office, on Seventh street below Chestnut, to the Court House, at Independence Square, because of the great crush of spectators. Three hundred policemen were there to keep order. George H. Earle, Sr., William S. Pierce and Edward H. Hopper were counsel for the alleged slave, and Benjamin H. Brewster for the claimant. Doubt as to the identity of the prisoner caused his discharge on the second day. There was mild jubilation among the spectators, many of whom were negroes, and Dangerfield, in a carriage from which the horses had been detached, was dragged in triumph along Fifth, Lombard and Eleventh streets. ALL NIGHT VIGIL. Lucretia Mott, the renowned preacher and agitator, was almost always in court to sustain the oppressed, whenever their cause was on trial. She was not loath to address the Judge with arguments and persuasions, in favor of justice and humanity, and often this Infringement of judicial privilege was tolerated. She would sit beside the poor slave mothers and their children and cheer them, while their fate hung in the balance, with those soft, concentrated words of power that she always commanded. On one occasion, she and the other friends of the prisoner remained in the old court room on Fifth street all night, awaiting the decision. Slowly the gray dawn spread over the dull, melancholy picture. It was sweet to see amid the shadows the saintly face of Lucretia Mott, in its serene and spiritual beauty, dominating all about her with the calm of courageous faith. But when at last the first rays of the sun flashed in through the eastern windows, across Library street, she lifted her voice in fervent ejaculation: "Oh, that God's sunlight should ever shine upon such a scene as this!" The decision came soon afterward. It was in favor of freedom. The last slave that ran away to Philadelphia and was caught had belonged to a man named Lemon. The negro was released, and the pro-slavery people started a subscription to indemnify the former owner for his loss. There was much lampoonery over this, and many changes were rung up on the word "lemonade." There were times when broken heads and bloody noses were plentiful in the vicinity of the old Court House. On March 27, 1860, Moses Hornor, who had been captured while at work in a field near Harrisburg, was claimed by a Virginian. On the second day of the hearing of the case he was remanded to the custody of a United States Marshal to be returned to the South. A writ of habeas corpus, issued by a State Judge, Allison, was disregarded. There was a tremendous crowd in Fifth Street, mostly composed of negroes. A rush was made to rescue the prisoner, and the horses drawing the carriage in which he was were twice pushed over upon the sidewalk, and the pole was broken. There was the wildest confusion, and the excitement was beyond description. The police charged the mob again and again, and finally drove it off, arresting ten of those composing it. GENERAL MULHOLLAND'S RECOLLECTIONS. Philadelphia is historically connected with the John Brown raid. The plot was known to an active anti-slavery worker here many months before it was near execution. Francis J. Merriam, one of John Brown's lieutenants at Harper's Ferry, sought refuge in Philadelphia after the raid, but was sent on to Canada. Another fugitive, Osborne Anderson, for whose arrest a large reward was offered by the Governor of Virginia, followed him. The wife of John Brown, on her way from North Elba, N. Y., his old home, to visit him in jail, remained in Philadelphia a week. It was desired that an escort of two gentlemen should be procured for her. It was difficult to find any one who would undertake the mission, which was regarded not only as unpopular, but as extremely dangerous, in view or the vengeful state of public feeling in Virginia. An appeal was made to Hector Tyndale, who afterward became in the Civil War a brevet major general of volunteers. He and J. Miller McKim and the latter's wife accompanied Mrs. Brown. Tyndale, whose character was of the genuine heroic mold, was not, like McKim, especially identified with the anti-slavery cause. General St. Clair A. Mulholland, who, with many others, treasures his memory with the utmost reverence, thus spoke of this chivalrous act a short time ago: "It subjected Tyndale for the time to a good deal of opposition in Philadelphia. Some of those who had called themselves his friends refused to speak to him on his return, and for years afterward. He was a young man, with his whole future before him. It was innate nobility and courage which made him accept that charge. Mrs. Brown had obtained an order from Governor Wise for the delivery of John Brown's body to her after the execution. But threats had been made to subject his body to great indignity and to substitute another for it in the coffin. Hector Tyndale was determined that the body should be identified before it was accepted by the widow. He insisted upon this, in the face of the most awful threats of a Virginia mob, and stood firm and unyielding upon his right as the representative of Mrs. Brown. This attitude won the admiration even of some of the fire-eaters, and one of them at last whispered in his ear that there were men there who would stand by him. He gained his point, the coffin was opened in his presence at Harper's Ferry, and he made sure that it was John Brown's body which he brought to Philadelphia. "The public meeting that was held in National Hall by the Abolitionists at noon on the day when John Brown was hanged," [Drawing with caption: "THE ESCAPE FROM SLAVERY IN A DRY GOODS CASE OF HENRY 'BOX' BROWN."] continued General Mulholland, "was a stormy one. James Mott, Lucretia Mott's husband, called it to order. Rev. Dr. Furness, father of Horace Howard Furness, made the prayer. During the proceedings hisses and applause alternated. There were cheers for Governor Wise, for Virginia and the United States, and groans for John Brown, Lucretia Mott, Mary Grew, Robert Purvis and Theodore Tilton made the addresses. When it was thought that John Brown was already hanging on the gallows at Charlestown. Theodore Tilton paused in his speech and said with awful solemnity: "'It is the hour at which the gate of Heaven has been opened and a new spirit has entered in.' "Under guard of the police many colored people held a 'sympathy prayer meeting' [Photograph with caption: "GENERAL HECTOR TYNDALE. Who Escorted John Brown's Body to Philadelphia."] that night in Shiloh Church, On Clifton street, below South. "When John Brown's body arrived at the old railway station at Prime and Broad streets, Mayor Henry would not allow it to remain in the city, for fear that conflicting popular feeling would cause bloodshed. A great crowd was around the station. A reception committee of negroes stood in front of it, dressed in deepest mourning. Mrs. John Brown, accompanied by Hector Tyndale, after leaving the railway train walked quietly and unnoticed through the crowd, got into an Eleventh street car and went to a house of a friend. The Mayor made sure, by a trick, that the mob would not subject John Brown's body to outrage. A common box, used to hold hoisting blocks and tackling, was covered with a deer's skin and hoisted upon the shoulders of six policemen, who carried it out of the station and carefully put it into the a wagon, which the crowd followed as it was driven away. Then the plain pine coffin, which contained all that was left of John Brown, of Ossawatomie, was placed with a bundle of the pikes with which he had armed some of his men, at Harper's Ferry, upon another vehicle, and taken to the Walnut street wharf. J. Miller McKim went on with it to New York. "Public feeling on the 'impending crisis' was about equally divided in Philadelphia until the threats of secession on the part of some of the Southern States had begun to be fulfilled. Lincoln was warmly received on his way to his inauguration. But the firing upon Sumter was needed to awaken the people thoroughly. Then the complete revulsion came. The test of loyalty was exacted by a mob, it is true, but a mob that represented in the last analysis true respectability and patriotism. Everybody of any account had to hand out his colors. The house of William B. Read and a newspaper office were attacked. Great union meetings were held, and the air was full of military preparation. When, however, General Louis Wagner organized the first negro regiment and wanted to parade it to show what a fine appearance it would make, the Mayor forbade him to march through Chestnut street, and he took it around by an obscure route, and across the Market street bridge to West Philadelphia." MR. CLOTHIER'S REMINISCENCES. The most exciting episode of all this ante-bellum period was unquestionably the effort on the part of a pro-slavery mob to break up a meeting at which George William Curtis delivered his powerful address on the burning question of the hour. The person most active in bringing Mr. Curtis to Philadelphia on this occasion was Isaac H. Clothier, now one of the most prominent merchants of the country, distinguished for his public spirit and philanthropy, but then a young man who had scarcely reached his majority. Mr. Clothier was recently induced by the writer, after some persuasion, to tell the story of this remarkable episode in his own way, which is modesty itself. But as he talked Mr. Clothier grew warm with the generous enthusiasm of more than forty years ago, and the mere words themselves convey only a partial idea of the interest which he enkindled in his listener in the course of the narrative. He was seated at the time in his study a Ballytore, his beautiful chateau-residence at Wynnewood. "I was deeply interested in the important questions of that time," said Mr. Clothier. "I had always a particular fondness for oratory. The great speakers then were on the side of the anti-slavery movement, and chief among them were Wendell Phillips and George William Curtis. In my thirst for listening to the discussion of great questions I used to attend lectures and meetings of all kinds. A young friend of mine and myself finally concluded that we would have a lecture course of our own in Philadelphia. It was the most direct way of gratifying our desire to hear the great anti-slavery speakers. This was in the summer of 1859, and we planned to have the course the next winter. A committee was formed, of which I was Chairman. The executive business of the enterprise was nearly all in my hands. You can imagine with what vim I, as an enthusiastic young man, entered into the campaign. I wrote to Henry Ward Beecher, Wendell Phillips, George William Curtis and others. I took journeys to see some of them. Mr. Curtis I visited at his residence on Staten Island, and Mr. Beecher at Peekskill. We found that George William Curtis and Wendell Phillips were the only speakers, among those whom we wanted, that we could engage. Our arrangements were made in August; one lecture was to be delivered by Wendell Phillips in November, and one by George William Curtis in December. There was then no particular anti-slavery excitement in this city, and we had no especial object in view in connection with that movement. But between that and the date of the first lecture John Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry took place. That was in October. Instantly the whole country was aflame. The lecture of Mr. Phillips was appointed for the 28th of November in National Hall, on Market street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, on the south side. His subject was Toussaint L'Ouverture. We had no reason to anticipate any particular disorder untill a little before the time for the lecture. A notorious Alderman, McMullin by name, came to the hall with a crowd of roughs prepared to break up the meeting by force. But Mr. Phillips's wonderful eloquence overcame them. They were charmed with it, and sat as if spellbound until the end. Not a hostile word or sound did they utter, and the affair was most successful. MOB VIOLENCE THREATENED. "The next occasion, however, was very different. The date of George William Curtis's address was two weeks and a half later, the 15th of December, 1859, or a little less than forty-three years ago. John Brown had been hanged on the 2d of December, and the Abolitionists had held what I have always thought was a most unwise meeting at National Hall, at noon of that day. It was a very lively meeting, and came near being broken up. Our lecture by George William Curtis was on 'The Present Aspect of the Slavery Question.' It was powerful, but there was nothing fiery about it; and the subject and date, you must remember, had been fixed in the previous August. When the time arrived the whole city was in a turmoil. We tried to get two men of some prominence to introduce Mr. Curtis to the audience, but they refused. Judge William D. Kelley ('Pig Iron' Kelley), however, accepted the proposal with alacrity. He was perfectly fearless, and he enjoyed doing things that were a brave vindication of principle. "That day, the 15th of December, was one of the most exciting I have ever seen. Alexander Henry was Mayor of the city. It was evident that there was going to be a riot. That morning a number of people came to see me, as the only person accessible to them who had the right to put the meeting off. I went to the Mayor. He said that it was his duty to maintain free speech, but that it was a very dangerous time. He thought that lives might be saved by putting the meeting off. But I felt that we had no right to do that. It would be pandering to the passions of the mob and a denial of free speech. Of course, in all this I had the advice of older persons, who confirmed me in my views. Mayor Henry made a personal appeal to me for a postponement. Prominent citizens were urgent in the same sense. Eli K. Price, W. Heyward Drayton and others were there. A committee came and asked whether something could not be done to avert the danger. They were afraid that blood would be shed. They besought the Mayor to stop the meeting. He said that he could not do that; but he would protect us. I went from him to the house of Rev. Dr. William H. Furness, on Pine street, where, in the meantime, Mr. Curtis had arrived. He had not heard anything as yet of the impending trouble. I told him that there was great danger. While I was talking a gentleman rang the door bell. He was a very estimable citizen. He said that he had just come from the office of the Mayor, to whom he had made a personal appeal to prevent the meeting, for fear that there would be bloodshed; and now he had come to make another personal appeal, with the same object, to Mr. Curtis. Mr. Curtis asked me what I had to say in the matter, as I represented those who had wished him to come here to lecture, and to whom he was responsible. I told him that I certainly did not want him to go to that hall, without knowing what he was doing. While I regretted that we were confronted with this danger, I saw no way out of it except to face it without shrinking. Dr. Furness said: 'If it costs the lives of all of us we ought to go on.' Mr. Curtis acquiesced, and so it was decided. 600 POLICE ON GUARD. "Quite a party of us left Dr. Furness's house together a little before the time for the lecture. We walked from Pine street up Thirteenth, and went into National Hall from the little street in the rear. There was a terrible noise in Market street and a great crowd. Mayor Henry had 600 armed policemen posted in front of the hall and within it. A passageway was kept clear for people who wished to enter. They came in great numbers. It was surprising, the pluck they displayed. Nowadays I would be afraid to go to such a meeting. After entering by the back way we sat for a while in a little room behind the platform. Chief of Police Ruggles was there, and he took me downstairs and showed me the array of police. It looked to me more like war than anything I had yet seen. Every policeman had a loaded revolver. I felt the greatest confidence in the outcome. I felt that free speech would be vindicated. Pretty soon we marched in upon the platform. The sight was something I can never forget. The Mayor had ordered that the Anti-Slavery Fair, which was being held in Concert Hall, on Chestnut street, should be closed for the evening, in order that all the available police not already on guard could be kept in readiness for service at National Hall, if needed. This order also swelled our audience. Among the noted persons present were James and Lucretia Mott, Mary Grew, Charles Wise, Henry C. Davis, Rev. William H. Furness. D. D., and Mrs. Furness, Robert Purvis, Dr. John D. Griscom and Mrs. Griscom, Clement M. Biddle, Edward M. Davis, Caleb Clothier, Daniel Neall, Warner Justice and his wife, Theodore Justice, Abby Kimber, Sarah Pugh, William Still, James Miller McKim and George A. Coffey, District Attorney. "George William Curtis had walked to the hall, with Mrs. William H. Furness leaning on his arm. A self-constituted bodyguard of young men kept close to him all the way and throughout the meeting. Many have since become prominent in public affairs. Those whom I remember were General William J. Palmer, since President of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway Company; Clement A. Griscom, James C. Parrish, William W. Justice, Edmund Lewis, Frank L. Neall, Henry C. Davis and the Steel brothers, Edward T., William and Henry M. "Other persons than the police were prepared to give an account of themselves if free speech had been seriously retarded or the lives of law abiding citizens had been assailed. Mr. Coffey, the District Attorney, sat on the platform with a loaded revolver in his pocket. I remember his saying on that day: 'There will be hundreds of armed men in the streets to-night, ready to back the posse comitatus on behalf of free speech.' Judge Kelley had a billy, or small cudgel, up his sleeve. It is now in my possession. A MOST EXCITING HOUR. "In introducing Mr. Curtis, Judge Kelley gave his listeners to understand that free speech would be vindicated, and that the Orator of the evening would be protected. He further said (the words are securely graven in my memory): 'It is my privilege to introduce to you my friend, George William Curtis, who is here this evening in pursuance of an engagement made more than three months ago, to present to you his views--the views of an accomplished scholar, a polished gentleman and, withal, a great hearted lover of his race and kind--upon the subject which God is pressing closer and closer upon us every day of our lives--the great question of slavery.' "Mr. Curtis did not speak as long as he would have done, perhaps, if disorder had not been so rampant. His lecture lasted a little less than an hour. It was an hour of menace, noise and confusion. The building would have been torn inside out and burned to the ground if it had not been for the police. The mob on Market street made several charges upon the entrance, but the police charged them in turn and kept them out. Brickbats were thrown through the side windows of the hall. A bottle of vitriol was also thrown, and the sight of one person was destroyed by its contents. The mob had its delegates in the auditorium, too. Two or three attempts were made to stop the lecture. Rough looking men jumped upon the benches and gave cheers for the Union, to drown the voice of the lecturer. The police rushed at them, seized them and carried them out through a doorway under the platform. Robert E. Randall, brother of Samuel J. Randall who became Speaker of the National House of [Drawing with caption: "PASSMORE WILLIAMSON, Who Helped Many Slaves to Freedom."] Representatives, was one of the ring leaders, and was arrested. RIOTERS AS HOSTAGES. "Underneath the hall was a wholesale flour store, into which freight cars were run for the purpose of unloading. The prisoners were taken down into this store and were locked up in an empty freight ear Their confederates in the auditorium and in the street were then informed that if the building was fired the prisoners would be sure to be burned to death. To show how tense was the suspense of those on the platform while the lecture was in progress I will recall a little incident. My associate in the management of the course of lectures, William J, Palmer, did not know Mr. Henry by sight. At one stage of the tumult, the Mayor appeared suddenly beside Mr. Curtis, as he stood near the edge of the platform, and made an appeal to the audience for order. Mr. Palmer leaned over to me and asked: 'Who is that man?' He afterwards told me that, supposing at first that Mayor Henry was an accomplice of the mob, he came very near seizing him from behind and pushing him off the platform. "In spite of the menacing interruptions the lecture was delivered, and was heard, and free speech was vindicated." Almost one year afterwards to a day, George William Curtis was again invited [Drawing and caption: "LUCRETIA MOTT. One of the Most Remarkable Anti-Slavery Orators."] to speak in Philadelphia. But Lincoln had meanwhile been elected President, the secession agitation in the South had reached its highest pitch, and the anti-slavery advocates in the North were held by many thousands to be directly responsible for the great troubles which threatened the nation. The condition of public sentiment in Philadelphia was more dangerous even than it had been immediately after the execution of John Brown. The Mayor was strongly opposed to the delivery of the lecture, and Mr. Andrews, the lessee of Concert Hall, refused to allow its use for that purpose. In connection with the above reminiscences and as an instance of the whirligig of time, it may be interesting to observe that during the past week the Hon.
