negrolynching, which roused deep indignation throughout the country. On May 20 the Journal records a wonderful meeting at Chickering Hall, called by the colored women of Boston, to protest against the lynching of negroes in the South. Mrs. Butler M. Wilson presided, an octoroon and a woman of education. Her opening address was excellent in spirit and in execution. A daughter of Mrs. Ruffin also wrote an excellent address: Mrs. Cheney's was very earnest and impressive. Alice Freeman Palmer spoke as I have never before heard her. My rather brief speech was much applauded, as were indeed all of the others. Mrs. Richard Hallowell was on the platform and introduced Mrs. Wilson. this brief speech brought upon her a shower of letters, mostly anonymous, from persons who saw only the anti-negro side of this matter, so dreadful in every aspect. These letters were often denunciatory, sometimes furious in tone, especially one addressed to Mrs. Howe, Negro Sympathizer, Boston.

Whitney started to sing. He bowed to a box, in which we first recognized Mrs. Howe, sitting with the Misses Wheeler. You should have heard the yell. We could see the splendid white head trembling; then her voice joined in, as Whitney sang, in theWhitney sang, in the beauty of the lilies, and by the time he had reached the words,-- as he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, the whole vast audience was on its feet, sobbing and singing at the top of its thousands of lungs.

Booker Washington was eloquent as usual, and the Hampton quartet was delightful. At the tea which followed at Mrs. Whitman's studio, I spoke with these men and with Dunbar's wife, a nearly white Woman of refined appearance. I asked Dubois about the negro vote in the South.

The veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic had invited Major-General Joseph Wheeler to deliver the Memorial day oration in Boston Theatre. Our mother was the second guest of honor. She has nothing to say of this occasion beyond the fact that she had a great time in the morning, and that in the open carriage with her sat General Wheeler's two daughters--very pleasing girls ; but pasted in the Journal is the following clipping from the Philadelphia Press :-- Boston warmed up the Major has just returned from Boston, where he was present at the Memorial day services held in Boston Theatre. it was the real thing.
