NUMBER 29. MANTLE OF CHARITY THROWN UPON THE SHOULDERS OF VENERABLE DR. LEAK. JONES HARPOONS HENDERSON Henderson Sheds Tears and Officiates over the Remains of the Victim he Helps to Officially Slay—The “Incident Closed” a Funny Joke. EDITOR FREEMAN: —Newspaper writers very often say many things that were better if left unsaid. I do not say that I myself, am free from this criticism. But I am at once slightly amused and confounded at the appearance of a letter in a recent issue of the Freeman titled, “The Incident is Closed.” I am reminded of a man shedding tears over, and officiating at the burial of the remains of another man whom he has helped to kill. The author sets out to state some "bare facts" leading up to the death of the victim (Dr. Leak) but before he proceeds very far, he breaks down in tears and pronounces the obituary; but tells us nothing. Of course that was the wisest and most charitable act. The reading public knows that the author of that article was the first to strike a blow that led to the official death of the old North Carolina hero. He said that some "high authority" told him to do it. Most all assassins of high officials are the tools in the hands of the others. The appointment of Dr. Leak's successor, being a native of North Carolina, will never atone for the official death of Leak. That is all child's talk. The author says that "Dr. Leak has spoken in his own defense, and that too with much effect." Is that true? When and to whom did Dr. Leak speak? His case was aired in. Did he make his defense before the same tribunal? If not, then he has not been heard. In fact, the court of public opinion has been waiting to hear from him. Dr. Henderson, the author, says that "What Dr. J. A. Jones has been saying is his own talk and has no relation of any kind to the actual facts." Dr. Henderson confesses all along that what he is saying are not his own "sayings," but that he is being used by others. I rather pride myself in the fact that my "sayings" are mine. I opposed, in my first letter, the "washing of our dirty linen" in the secular press. I thought if there was any dirt we might clean it off in our own back yard. But, no, nothing would do but a shaking of the offensive sheet in the face of the public. I contend that a case is not settled unless settled in the court in which it is tried, and that Dr. Henderson's mantle of charity racket, with its fringe of "finis," does not settle it and cannot settle it. Now I oppose, at this late day, Dr. Henderson's putting words in Dr. Leak's mouth and at the same time attempting to shift the responsibility of alleged crookedness on to Dr. Giles. Dr. Henderson says that "Dr. Giles has not yet spoken and his silence is regarded in various ways." Does Dr. Henderson mean to slay another victim? It seems to me that this thing ought to stop somewhere. I want no man to kill me and then weep over my grave. Dr. Giles has spoken, Henderson's statement to the contrary notwithstanding. Dr. Leak was manager of the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the church, and if he has made a public statement through its columns, I missed that issue, and my paper comes regularly. I have said in another paper that I believed that Dr. Leak will speak by and by. I believe now that when the old lion rises and roars he will wake the natives. "The guilt now seems to have been largely shifted," says the good doctor, in his effort to criminate Dr. Giles. And then says "if he (Leak) has been a victim of false friends he will yet come out all right." If Giles is culpable, why not say so? Why should Leak be made to suffer as a defaulter for another man's sins? If Giles is not guilty, these insinuating things ought not be said. Dr. Leak was truly the official head of the Book Concern, but he could not be held responsible for what some employee did, any more than the president of a bank is chargeable for the stealing of the cashier. Shifting the guilt indeed! Why was not that done before Leak was slain? And now talk about Leak "coming out all right" it case it is discovered that he was the victim of false friends. Will Dr. Henderson tell us whose job it is to make this discovery now, since DR. JOSEPH H. WARD. “the incident is closed?” “The curtain has dropped,” so he says. Who is to raise them again? Who is the stage manager? After all, was not the whole play a bungleseason affair, and did it not wind up with a force? Is not Dr. Henderson's "incident closed" a huge joke itself? My "own talk" along this line has ever been for fair play. I have said emphatically that I consider Dr. Leak's election a mistake, but never at any time have I insinuated as to Leak's dishonesty. I believe that Bishop Derrick did the proper thing in protecting his board; I believe he acted from a conscientious standpoint; I believe he dealt with the matter fairly according to the facts as presented to him. I think he deserves the congratulations of the church; but I am not by myself when I say that Dr. Leak was not the biggest rascal that ever held a general office in the connection. And not the only one that ought to have been driven out of office before the expiration of his term. I may not know what I am talking about, but I am as earnest about it as any man that ever handled a pen. J. A. JONES. Pulaski, Tenn. Hat Contest Given. Muncie, Ind., Special—The trustees of the A. M.

News of a General Character. Paris, Tenn., Special—Prof. B, K. Sampson held the, Teachers' Institute, here last week, which was largely attended. Dr. W. H. Goodwin is enjoying a lucrative practice. Mrs. Margaret Erskine, who has been on the sick list is much improved. Jno. Travis, who got his foot mashed at the L. & N, shop last week, is improving. Rev. R. Amos, of Montecue, Ark., delivered a practical lecture at Mt. Zion Baptist church to an appreciative audience, on the 8th. The persons who have helped John Travis since he had his foot mashed, deserve much praise for his service, for the friend of Damon and Pythias is not altogether a thing of the past. Frank Duncan has sold two of his houses on Pedernal's Hill. The Gay Society Whirl. French Lick, Ind., Special—Mrs. Watt McNairy was in Louisville last week. Joe Hunter spent Sunday in Louisville, Ed.

Mr. and Mrs. Willis Perry, of Indianapolis, are visiting in this city. DR. JOSEPH H. WARD. Dr Joseph H. Ward has gone to New York, where he will take a post graduate course in the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College of that city. The doctor has been enjoying a lucrative practice at home, but he deserves to be among the leaders in his chosen profession. With this object in view he has put aside the immediate profits and honors that attend him until he merits further distinction by PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY--SIX MONTHS, 850; ONE YEAR, $1.50 serving in the very excellent school of practice which he will attend. Dr. Ward is already a graduate of two schools, graduating from the Physiological College in 1897, after which he practiced for three years, then he entered the Indiana Medical College of the University of Indianapolis, finishing in 1900. Society Dr. Ward is very much in evidence in his home. The New Yorkers will find him thoroughly conversant on society affairs. He also knows a coillion from a Virginia Reel. As a musician he is a singer and is not a stranger to the violin. In fact the doctor is what is called a versatile man. He has been slightly smitten by the glamour of politics, but he has consented to repudiate that ambition, at least for the time being. It was only last spring when his friend threatened to bring him out for the legislature, and had he been more tractable they would have succeeded. But he has only temporarily suppressed his political ambition, it is suspected. The doctor does not forget to pray because he dances. He has been one of the leaders of the young men's prayer band of this city, which has recently merged into a Y. M. C. A. His good qualities of heart, of head and skill of hand has fixed him a sure niche in the affections of the people. Public Library 1 02 DR. JONES IN ERROR HIS STATEMENTS ARE CANDID BUT ARE FAR-FETCHED. DOCTOR LEAK IS A DEAD ISSUE! Dr. Chappelle is Responsible for the Statement that the Next General Conferences will Divest Bishops of their Ecclesiastical Robes. EDITOR FREEMAN:—There are many assertions and suggestions in the article of Dr. J. A. Jones, June 28th, which are incorrect, but the spirit in which he writes is so evidently candid that it attracts more attention than do the errors. Dr. Jones is young at the business and does not yet understand how essential it is to be absolutely sure of the correctness of an assertion before allowing it to go in print. He is unsophisticated and accepts many things on the bare statement of interested parties and is thus often lead to give to the public assertions that would not stand close investigation and come out whole. But these faults are due to inexperience and he is evidently sincere in spirit even if often wrong in words. I will not now undertake to point out the errors in the article referred to as they are of little practical importance one way or the other. There is no use of discussing poor Dr. Leak; he is a dead issue, and his coming to life would only mean the necessity of Dr. Collett, secretary of the Publication Board, giving to the church and the public the facts. No true friend of Leak would do anything to make such a cruel thing possible. Having saved the Book Concern, now all are willing to also try to save poor Leak. He and his friends will be responsible for any further revelation concerning his ill-fated career as manager. Dr. Jones did not correctly understand the conversations he heard while at Wilberforce, and though some of the things said were intended for publication, he made a grand mistake and exposed his over confident friends to publicity that they did not anticipate nor desire. The part of Dr. Jones' article that is good is the spirit. He is not a sycophant but is willing to give honest expression to his views. That is an excellent spirit, but he should also take care that his views are correct. There are evil measures, methods and men who need to be discussed before the public, but no mistakes should ever be made in such matters and nothing either inaccurate or uncalled for should ever be said. Every one knows how nearly Dr. J. A. Davis came to be the successor of Dr. C. S. Smith, and all understand that he stood aside to further the interests of Dr. Tyree. There are none who have said that they think that Dr. Davis will not put in his claim next time. Indeed Bishop Smith and others have even intimated that he would, Dr. Jones is not experienced or he would not allow himself to be arrayed against the leaders of his own district. The election of Chappelle was an accident that could not have happened on an ordinary day. It may be a fortunate accident or an unfortunate one, the whole church waits to see and may wait with suspended breathing. It is said that Chappelle and his friends have announced that at the next general conference four vacancies on the bench of bishops will be made by retiring two and by unrocking two. A general officer is authority for the statement, which may be correct and which may not be. The same general officer is known to be a tell-tale and to trot from conference to conference with grannie tales, and I do not hold him as very high authority. Chappelle would scarcely undertake to set aside four bishops at one inning. He has more sense than some give him credit for having. Some of his friends are doing him injury by magnifying his incautious utterances. Everyone who understands such things knows that secretly Chappelle is a candidate for the Episcopate and that he will try to prevent the election of any bishops this time in order to make it possible for him to be first at the gate next time. The next general conference will likely accept the advice of Bishop Smith and divide the island work among the various districts; if so, no more bishops will be needed unless vacancies are made on the present (CONTINUED ON FOURTH PAGE) THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSrarerr.

When cream is separated from milk the fat globules come to the surface by gravity or are thrown off by centrifagal process, When cream is churned, two of them will stick together, then three, then fonr and then one dozen until fin- ally those little globules each about one fifth of a thousandth part of an inch in diameter gradually stick to gether and become large enough to see. They are ‘very small yet, not large enongh to ‘make butter from without waste. So we keep on churning until more united, ‘and when these get large enough so that ‘we can readily draw off the buttermilk when they are about the size of No. § shot, the work has been carried far enough. If we let them get larger than this they will lock up a certain amount of mili serum and that will have to be separated again in order to free them from the buttermilk. To stop the work when they are jast the right size de- pends on the skill of the buttermaker. It’s simple matter when you know how todo it. We do our work on this way. ‘We churn at euch a temperature that wecan form these granules in from forty to sixty minutes. I cannot tell you what the temperature is. From Aolstein milk, Aryshire milk and the milk from many individual cows, the butter comes quicker than from Guern- eey or Jersey milk and other milk in which the butter fat is hard. ‘The fat in the milk of the Holstein and some of the other breeds is soft, while in that of our batter breeds it is hard’ Differ. ent foods have an effect on the fat. Cot- ton seed meal gives us a hard, and corn meal a soft fat. The rale is to experl- ment and find out at what temperature itis necessary to charn to nave the butter come right and come within from forty tosixty minutes. Having deter- mined that you have the right temper- attire. Then, do not have the cream too thick. I wonld not have the cream contain more than 25 percent of the fat in order to have it in the best condition for securing granules. If it is thicker there is not liquid enough for the fat globules to float about and have room to form and finish. Thirtyfive percent cream is too tich. The little globules are so close to-gether that in agitating the churn they are liable to attach themselves and become large and of dif- ferent sizes, We want bath enongh for them to float about in. It is perfectly safe to use the cream from the gravity cans, as it will not contain 25 per cent of fat, but donot make the cream from the separator too rich or it will be too dense for finishing the globules in best form. At 15 per cent it is rather thin bat this does not interfere with securing good granulation. At 89 per cent good granules are formed but it requires ‘more care, If we find that 60 degrees is the right temperatare we use that. If itis Holstein milk we may have to churn at 55 degrees or a little above fifty, especially if the cows are fed on corn meal or ilage. If we are using cream from Jersey cows that have been fed on considerable extton seed meal, we some- ‘times have to churn up to seventy in order to get,the butter to come right ‘When the granules begin to appear look into your churn, and if you are a novice you will look quite often. Ae you continue to churn you will gradn- ally become accustomed to the business anp know about how much churning to give it each time. Sometimes the gran- ules will grow in size very rapidly es pecially if the temperature is a little high, or the fat a little soft, Whiaa Masten les ‘The equash bug, like nearly all insects is attacked by parasitic flies. The squash bug secretes an odor which re pels toads to a certain extent, hence the toad will consume them only when very hungry. The bug is also subject to some fangus disease which has not been identified, but it has not been seriously damaged thererrom The most dangerons attack by the bugs is that made upon the young plant when it first comes up and before they have more thun two seed leaves. To prevent this the hills should be covered wich wire netting, the edges to be bar- fed under she soil as the bugs will en- deavor to get under them. The netting will also keep out the flea-beetles and yellow end black stripped bugs’ As soon as the plants have five leaves the covers should be removed aud the in- seots fought by other methods, Of course, hand picking may always be practiced. Some gardeners plant more seeds than properly develop in order to provide against the destraction of the whole hill, ‘The plants should aiso be given good culture, to add vigor to them and also because the bugs are not partial to clean cultivation, The burn- ing of useless rabbish in the fields re- duces the winter shelter, and all vines should be collected and burned after harvesting thecrop. The bugs may be collected byhand from the vines, or from equash plants between the rows used as traps. The bugs also seek shel- ter under leaves, in the ground, under clods or boards or wherever they can find a covering. A three per cent. epray of kerosene and water (kerosene emul: sion) should be used. All eggs shonld be destroyed and the vines examined twice a day. The bug will always leave the melon or the cucumber for the squash, hence a few squash among mel- ons or cucumbers will trap them. An 8 per cent. kerosene emulsion may in- jure the plant, about’ per cent. being strong enough (seven parts kerosene to 100 parte water.) Itis also important to kill as many buge as possible in au- tumn after the crop is harvested and be sure to burn every vine. When spray- ing the vines care should be used as the kerosene ond water must be intimately miexd. The first flow shonld be on the ground for a miuute as it may contain too mush kerosene. Spray the vines lightly, not too much, the spray to be very fine The mixture will drive the bugs from their covers, when they can be destroyed. As stated before every- thing depends on destroying them by hand. The Barren Pear Tree. ‘When we purchaeed the piace upon ied we are now living, we found a number of fine fruit trees growing here. One in particular that stood in the front iawn was a beantifal, fuxariant pear tree. But to our yearly disappoint ment, it produced neither frait not flowers. There seemed to be no appar: ent reason for euch a great flourishing tree to fail so completely in the natural order of things. I happened once to meet the former owner of the premises, and spake of the barrenness of the tree. “Why madam,” said he, “I guess that tree has stood there at least twenty years. It was there when I went there, that was seventeen years ag) and | have seen no bloom on it yet.” Irit haden’t been such @ handsome tee with sucha rich green foliage J should have disposed of it for some Prodactive plant We concluded to see what effect grafting would have apon it and had four varieties of grafts in- serted.

It was during the turning of the lever and pressing apples that I observed, wonderingly the peculiar machine at me.

Mr. J. R. Dickerson, who served at the International hotel, this city, in the capacity of captain for eight successive seasons, and is now the able supporter of Wm. S. Forman as second waiter of same hotel. He received the appointment early in the spring, but owing to the dull season did not resume the duty until July 1st. During the eight seasons at the International he has won the confidence of both the headwaiter and proprietor, and has so conducted himself that his brother waiters are not only glad of his promotion, but they respect him in his position and are giving him their ablest support. Mr. Dickerson has been on the side for over fifteen years, and has worked in some of the leading hotels in the East. His wide experience, together with his faithful service, has brought him up to the second round of the ladder. The many waiters that know Mr. Dickerson's abil- MARY B. BUSINESS MEDIUM. MRS. MARTH, the world renowned and highly celebrated business and test MEDIUM professionals, everything in life. Business, Love and Marriage a speciality. Every mystery reels, also of absent, deceased and living persons, involves all troubles and estrange challenges, mate challenges, her in her starting revelation of the past present and future event in one's life. Remember she will not, for any price, latter you your nonsense. She can be consulted on all affairs of Life, Love, Courthship, Marriage, Friendship, future companion she is very accustomed to friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sick change, business, journeys, awaits change, business, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable, destiny good or bad; she withholds nothing. there are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting them, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is important that such a conclusion can be reached. It is important that everyone who placards himself or herself as a believer in the nature of life or the so-called claim. And person of any enquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is simi- lar to these advisers do not take the trouble to study the nature of life, nor open their thoughts for content with accretions of physiology and kindred branches that have a tendency to make the pathway to the role of the business clear and devoid of obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will most notice—in full knowledge of what they know, and yet as soon as they confront a Messiah they will desire to dispel from their minds what they now so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the gambar. To set the secret out of a person by "pumping" in no low cases, is the art used by many professors and by many students of the hand and gain control of the mind there is a matter of impossibility to most of them. Mrs. MARTH can be done, and by consulting MRS. MARTH this seeming mystery becomes a realisation. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it is concretely that although there are infinitely many "only tongues," perhaps, the gates of wisdom not have been closed to the entire profession. It is a great deal of study to become an accomplished medium, and by a continuous and uninterrupted writing, unparalleled in parenthood unattainable mysteries have been acquired by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of others. By letter, advice $1.00. Hours from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. All letters must contain staples for answers. MRS. M. B. MARTH. 246 W. 1st St., New York City. THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ity predict him a bright future, and hope to soon see him on the top of the ladder. As we realize that the times are calling for efficient workers in every vocation of life, therefore, so long as we can produce young and up-to-date colored men to take the place of old and thoughtless head and second waiters just so long we can feel safe to say there is no danger of us losing ground to the opposing white race. J. H. Lane, International Hotel N.Y.C. From Beaumont, Texas. From Beaumont, Texas. The waiters at Beaumont, Tex., had their first annual sermon preached on Sunday, June 29, by Rev. D. F. Taylor, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church. His theme was the ministry of service. Text: Mark 10, xlv. Short, but very pointed addresses were made by Prof. E. Adams and J. C. Brooks. A large congregation heard the sermon, which was elquent and instructive. The collection was looked after by Messrs. C. H. D. Fleming and J. C. Brooks, and the way they went about it would have made a stranger think that they were the regular deacons of the church. W. Sims was indisposed several days last week. During his illness he had Agent Archibald to send The Freeman to his room. He says he can't do without it; good, keep it up. Jake Andrews, head-walter at the Claredon, is holding his own, supported by an efficient crew of waiters. Will Whitley, chief cook at the French restaurant, is giving general satisfaction. He was initiated Tuesday night, the 5th, in Beaumont Lodge No. 3404, G. U. O. O. F. Mr. Whitley is not very favorably impressed with Jacob's ladder. R. B. Dickens is among the waiters at the Oaks. Sam Fish of Houston, Tex., is at the Crosby house. You can have The Freeman sent to your address for $1.00 per year by subscribing now. George DeWitt Wilson is holding things down at the Clarendon. John Ford of the Cloud Craft Lodge at Cloud Craft, N. M., is hobnobbing among friends. C. H. D. FLEMING, From Saratoga Springs, N. X. From Saratoga Springs, N. Y. Editor Freeman—Wenote with much pleasure the opening of the famous hotel Congress Hall, Saratoga, with Geo. A. Curry as headwaiter in charge. Mr. Curry has for twelve seasons previous to the season of 1901 had charge of Congress Hall as headwaiter. Mr. Curry ranks second to none in the profession, and it is needless to say that, with his retinue of accomplished officers and skilled and efficient crew he has selected, that this will be one of the most successful seasons in the history of the house. Mr. Curry has for the past six seasons had charge of the new St. Charles hotel, New Orleans, La, one of the best in the South, and the only first class hotel in New Orleans. The following are the names of the officers: Frank Brooks, second; James Lett, third; James A. Winn, fourth; Wm F. Dandridge, secretary; E. L. Stanard, hat attendant; C. C. Norris, captain morning watch; L. D Dobson, captain day watch; Charles Hawkins, silver; J. W. Hogan, linen. We opened up with twenty-five men; of course as the season opens we will increase our force to one hundred and fifteen men. W.M. E. DANDRIDGE. A. D. Williamson's Travels. A. D. Williamson, second waiter of the grill room in the Hotel Baltimore, Kansas City, Mo. has recently returned from a pleasant trip to San Francisco and the Pacific coast. In 'Frisco he was the guest of Mrs. Hines. $12\frac{1}{2}$ Elmond street, and with a Mr. Jones, also of Kansas City, had a couple of swell wine dinners given for both gentleman. Mr. Williamson was also entertained by S. B. Barnett, a swell young man of 'Frisco. Mr. Barnett has charge of one of the leading hotels in 'Frisco. Mr. Williamson visited the famous old Knobb Hill and called at the saloon owned by F. C. Williams in Golden Gate Park and at the Gray Stone hotel. Coming East from the Golden Gate Messrs. Williamson and Jones were royally entertained by J. H. Holmes in Colorado Springs. Here they met P. Scott, 320 Middle avenue, who runs a drug store. He has a charming and entertaining wife. All the people Messrs. Williamson and Jones met out West were from the South. In Denver they met many Southerners. N. C. Johns, assistant headwaiter of the Powers hotel, Rochester, N. Y., has resigned and accepted the headwaiter of the Cottage hotel, European plan, at Charlotte, N. Y., on the Ontario beach. A New Pastor Called. Rootport, Ind., Special.—The Baptist church of this city has called Rev. N. T. Lane, of Mt. Vernon, to take pastoral charge of the church. He has accepted and will be installed to-morrow. THE TENTH CAVALRY IN CUBA. Special to The Freeman. After participating in all the battles of any consequence and really having the most advanced position in the charge of San Juan Hill, the 10th United States Cavalry, with other regiments that served in Cuba during the Spanish-American war, was ordered to Montauk Point, New York (Long Island). This place proved a veritable death pen. The War Department then ordered the regiment South to occupy camps used for the mobilization of troops for the war of 1898. The 10th was ordered to Camp A. G. Forse, Huntsville, Ala., and spent the major portion of the winter of 1898 at that place. It was then ordered to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, one of the largest posts in the United States. We spent but a very short time there when we were for the second time ordered to Cuba, an order which was joyfully received by all with the exception of the few who had wives, sweethearts or relatives in the city of San Antonio, of which the post is a part. Our regiment was at this time comprised largely of new men who had not seen service in Cuba, and were especially anxious to view the spot where the older troopers had fought, bled and died. After such preparation as is incident to such movements, the first section of the regiment boarded the cars for Galveston, Texas, and on the morning of May 1st embarked on the transport Logan and sailed for Sunny Cuba. This section, comprising the headquarters, staff, band and troops A, C, G, H, L and M landed at Manzanillo, Cuba, on May 7th, and relieved the 4th Volunteer Infantry (Immune) from duty in Cuba. About one week later the second section of the regiment, comprising troops B, D, E, F, I and K, landed at Gibara, Cuba, and were assigned to stations in the vicinity of Holguin. Our duties here are very much similar to such as we performed in the States, and we have enjoyed excellent health, there being but very few to die from disease. We found the towns about as dirty as the papers in America plotured them to be, and had quite a task before us to keep the yellow fever from making its customary visit, and it is mainly through the efforts of our sanitary officer (an American army officer) that the dread disease did not ravage our camps. How well this officer performed his duties can be verified by the residents of this city, in which vicinity our headquarters and four troops have been stationed since our disembarkation. Our relations with the natives is amicable, and friction is a rarity. On January 1, 1900, one squadron of the regiment—troops E, F, G and H—lef Cuba for the States, preparatory to going to the Philippines. We have services in the Post Chapel every Sunday conducted by the chapplain. In the fall we have a post school which runs from four to six months, also under the supervision of the chapplain. One of the most helpful things for our soldiers is the Young Men's Christian Association at our post, which has been established for nearly two years, it holds one meeting a week, which is nearly always along literary lines. Very litt e can be done along the lines of physical culture for the reason that Uncle Sam looks after our physical condition in a thorough manner. Spiritually we have nothing much to brag about though we have a soldiers' prayer and Bible league club, which is doing some good. Our reading and writing rooms are well patronized by the men. The army and navy branch of the Y. M. C. A. furnishes us writing paper and envelopes and many papers and periodicals, and their gratuitous interestness has done more than a letter from home to make our lot a pleasantner one The chaplain is unceasing in hisefforts to make our lives as enjoyable as could be in any post in the States, and the noteworthiness of his efforts have been observed by other eyes than ours as the following extract from the report of an inspection of the post of Manzanillo from October 4th to 12th, 1901, will attest: "Chaplain Anderson seems a man of more than ordinary executive ability, and is certainly one of untiring energy, for in addition to the regular duties of his profession, he has performed those of officer in charge of the post schools, as Canteen officer, Post treasurer and has also figured quite prominently as sanitary inspector of the city and in other civil affairs. Mainly through his efforts the library and reading room and gymnasium have been made most attractive resorts for enlisted men. He has also instituted a Young Men's Christian Association which is an excellent agent for bringing the men together." This is from a report rendered the war department by Major G. K. Mo Gunneleg, 3d U. S. Infantry, assistant to the Inspector General of the Department of Cuba. I will also quote an extract from an article in the "Association Men" for February, 1902, furnished by Mr. B. Miller, senior secretary of the Army and Navy branch of the Y. M. C. A., after making a tour of the Island inspecting the Association work in connection with the secretary for Cuba : "A very interesting Association was found at Manzanillo, in the portion of the 10th Cavalry stationed there. This was the regiment that fought so valiantly in the battle of San Juan Hill. The association has a firm foothold in the 'fighting Tenth,' both in Menzanillo and at Holguin. ChaplainAnderson, of this regiment, spoke in highest terms of the results of the work, as he had seen them in the changed lives of the men. A striking feature is the literary program given each Wednesday. In addition to recitations and musical selections, papers and talks, essays are given and often debates] are held that would compare favorably with those in many college, literary societies. It was of interest to find them discussing such questions as: 'Is war in any case justifiable?' 'Which is the more despicable character, the liar or the hypocrite?' 'Has the fear of punishment or the hope of reward the greater influence on the human conduct?' The traveling libraries are widely read." A Young Mens' Christian Association was not established at Holguin until May 1901. The Chaplain and fifteen enlisted men from our post rode over to Holguin, a distance of 130 miles, and organized this work. We found a good literary society there among the men and easily converted it into an Association. The Y. M. C. A. secretary for Cuba, in speaking of this work, says they were sewing the seed for an evangelical harvest. S. J. WILLOUGHBY. Troop A, Manzanillo, Cuba.

THE ELDORADO, ILLINOIS AFFAIR Governor Richard Yates of Ilinot has taken the bit in his teeth as it con: cernl the racial disturbance at Eldora do, Ill, several weeks ago wherein the Eldorado Normal and Industrial ust! tute was stoned and the principal, Jef ferson D. Alston, his wife and pupil: ‘were compelled to leave for tear of mob violence. In reply to a letter sent Gov- ernor Yates by Alston; he says: Springfield, I1l., July 7, 1902. Mr. Jefferson D. Alston, Eldorado Nor- tal and Industrial Institate, Matrop His, Ill My Dear Sir.—I am in receipt of your favor of the istinstant in which you say you are in Metropolis because your wife desires to get away from a place that would endanger her or your life, and in which you futher state that you ‘owe $500 upon the Eldorado property, which could have been paid if you had een allowed to close the school, and at the close of which you state the trustees haye agreed to re-establish the school elsewhere and ingu're whether [ have any suggestion to make. In reply I will say that I suggest that you return to Eldorado and open your School at the proper time, exactly as if no disturbance had occurred. with the assurance from me that I will furnish you by telegraph all such force as may ‘be necessary to protect you and all in- mates of the school from disturbance of any kind whatsoever. I note your statement that the inmates of your school lived in this state, being for the most part, old residents, and that they were not students frem Kentucky. Very traly yours RicHARD YATES It is very evident that the Governor means what he eays, and the people that are concerned will be so impressed and will govern themselves accordingly. ‘The Governor does nothing but a sim- ple act of justice in restoring those peo- ple to their homes if they have conduc: ted themeelyes with propriety and at this time there 1s no evidence to the contrary. And should they have vio- lated the Jaws it is not every man’s af. fair. The officers of the law are sworn to do their daty and this individual officionsness is not required at all. The Governor is firm in his attitude and in being so reassures the colored people of the state that he ie their Gov- ernor and protector as well as reads a lesson to other Governors and execu- tives that the laws are not made for classes. Colored people every where will see something to commend in the act- fon of Mr. Yates, albelt, he bas but done his daty asa Governor and as es The Hampton Negro Conference of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute was beld in Cleveland Hall of that institution, July 16th, 17th and 18th. Many prominent men through ont the country were in -attendance among whom were: Prof Kelly Miller, Rey. F. J. Grimke, Prof. W. 8. Scar- borongh. The subjects discussed were along the line of economics with the view of bettering the conditions of the people and especially applicable to the Negroes. Ioformation comes this week of the idnapping of four Negro boys in Calro, Exypt, Africa, to be sold as slave in Syria. The boys were offered work as camel drivers in the suburbs of Cairo.

Mr. J. J. Miles of Milwaukee who at- tended the Afro-American Conneil in St. Paul, speaks of the welcome extend- ed to the visitors on the part of the citi- zens, but he felt that the sessions this year lacked comewhat in dignity when compared with those of other yeare. He thinks Bishop Walters and a few others fare sincere, but hes bis doubts abont others, Three white Bishops attended the sessions and alsoa number of dis- tinguished white ladies and gentlemen who are interested in the race’s move- ianvhe: ‘The fifth annual session of the Afro American Council recently he'd in St. Paul, Minn., was characterized by s general change of officers. Bishop Wal. ters has been the president up until this year, and it is owing to him largely that the Council has its prominenc? and ‘promised permanence. Bishop Walter: it is understood will be the chairman of the executive board in which office he will yet be able to help shape the legis lations of that body. ‘The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, T. Thomas Fortune; vice-Presidents, W. A. Pledg- er, Georgia; George H. White, North Carolina; I. B. Scott, Louisiana; J. ©. Dancey, North Carolina; H. P. Jonson, E. H, Deas, South Carolina; Financial Secretary, Frederick I. McGhee, St. Panl; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Fannie Barnett Williams. A state convention of Negroes is pro- Posed. We oan not see why such a con- vention at this time should not havea salutary effect in view of the rapidly changing sentiment throughout the state as it concerns the Negroes. Con- ventoinsin the past have been con- demned, blamed because the people saw no immediate result of their delibera- tions, when in fact conventions are not for the purpose of securing quick re- turns. They are to assist in turning the tide of sentiment, and not for legisla- tion; and no convention can exist with good purposes in view, without some benefits being derived, if it only serves to make the members of the body stronger in the cause they represent. A convention will be in order if it has in mind more than the political phase its no time to be hawked abont with politics in mind only. An addressed is sued from a body with helpful purposes in view would do much in putting for. ward the sense of the Negroes as it con- corns the situation and also serve as a platform of principles for future guid. ance, | DR.S.

Notes from Lincoln Park, Tom Golden proprietor; Willie Reeves, manager Savannah, Ga.;-We have one of the best resorts for pleasure in the South. We have also a vaudeville show under the management of Mr. Reeves, which on July 4 played to the largest crowd ever in the park, about 6000 being present. We have with us some of the leading comedians in the business: Willie Reeves; Shink Floyd; Wm. West, Season Brown, Tom Scott, Allen Brown and Phillip Alston. We have also engaged for this season, Miss Jessie Thomas, the male impersonator and Miss Beatrice Coates.

We have yet a number of old heads and a few new ones: The show pleases everywhere and our big concert band of 14 pieces under the management of Prof. G. B. Brooks is one among the best. J. Fernando manager of the Acme quartette has just received a stereoptician for his quartette. They will soon add a motion picture optigraph. Augustus Stevens of the team of Williams and Stevens, who had an operation performed on him two weeks ago is again with the show. Prof. G. B.

Ben Bow would like to hear from Goldsticker and all members of the Dewey Club. F. Hansett would like to hear from Sam Burns, Scotte and DeLeo. --- The Black Troubadours are now in their third week with the Oregon Pacific and Oriental Carnival company and send the following notes:—We are pleased to say that with this mammoth aggregation of talent from foreign lands as well as American artists our company of eight performers give a thirty minute act that is conceded by press and public the best portion of the show. Roster: Miss Daisy Whitfield, our quadroon soubrette, a terpsichorean artist of rare ability; Fred Vaughn and Richard Robinson, refined comedy artists and edtainers; Clissel and Mines. in a comedy sketch assisted by the juvenile prodegy, little Bumpety, their burlesque of life-saving being a howling success. Little Bumpy, using pickaninny lullabys is a feature. R. E. Garnett, basso and old man impersonator; and James H. Gray, baritone solist in character songs. We are pleased to say that all work hard and harmoniously to make our portion a success as the ofays watch us with a jealous eye. Regards of company to all friends in and out of the profession. Notes from Johuson's Operatic Cake Walkers: Our show opened to S. R. O. and our large canvass was crowded the entire week at Springfield, Ill. We opened this week at Lincoln and had to turn them away. Our roster includes The Crosbys, Vida Devine and Webster Williams; Addie May Scott, Percy Gudger; The Pettys-Billy and Betty; Arthur Dunnigan and Trixie Ford. Harry Crosby, stage manager; Mrs. Petty, wardrobe lady; Prof. Dunnigan, musical director. We are using the very latest musical compositions and are cleaning up. The entire company sends regards to professional friends. Notes from Jos. J. Flynn's Nashville Troubadour:—The show continues to play before enthusiastic audiences throughout the New England States, and the public and press are loud in their praise of the work and conduct of the members of the organization on and off the stage. Much credit is due Jas. Gorman, of the Three Gorman Bros for the efficient manner in which he has staged "Aunt Hanna's Silver Wedding" in which Erb Robinson and Kid Frazier take up the leading comedy parts. Our ollo consists of Bailey and Glenn, a very clever sister act and they are more than making good; Walter Robinson, lyric tenor soloist, is assisted by the Buckeye Comedy Four-Messers. Erb Robinson, Nat Lucas, Robt. Cooper and W. Robinson. Frazier and Peterson in their 12 minute sketch never fail to bring down the house at each performance. Erb Robinson as a monologist is hard to beat. His songs and funny sayings make him a prime favorite. Miss Cleo Desmond, closes the show singing the metropolitan song success, "Nancy Brown." She is assisted by the Nashville Troubadour Octette-Misies Peterson, Glenn, Smith, Williams; Messrs Nat Lucas, Bob Cooper, Kid Frazier and Erb Robinson. Nat Lucas and Bob Cooper both appear creditably in parts in the opening act. Everybody is in fine health. --- Noter from the Famous Georgia Minstrels: We are still moving with no complaints to make at all, business being good and putting it mild we are playing to the capacity of the houses. We have been running into one or two circuses but the seem to add to our business. We ran into Campbell Bros. at Crookston, Minn., and the Ringling Bros. at Grand Forks N. D., and at Fargo. Both companies treated us with the utmost courtesy and were highly elated over the show. One of our noted end men Oscar Cameron became perfectly infatuated with the Ringling show and is seemingly obstinate ever since leaving them. Oscar being a favorite with the Georgians, we do our best to keep him in love with us. He and Kid Langford another real lover of the circus send their best regards to Chas Hughes. Ed Tolliver is meeting with unbounded success featuring a new song, "The Lady with a Diamond in her Tooth" and his idea of handling, "You Couldn't Hardly Notice it at All" is far above the average. Kid Langford is scoring a tremendous hit nightly singing, "If Money Talks it Ain't on Speaking Terms With Me." J. W. Cooper, the man of very few words and acknowledged by the press throughout as being the most startling trilogueist of the day is certainly proving a wonder. Dick Thomas is another whom we feel dedicated to announce as his work has been before the public so long that the writer here feels loathe to serve as his critic. Mr. Thomas plays the leading role in Aunt Nancy's Wedding Day, the one big act with our show. The Houseley musical act has been greatly improved, and is claimed by the press to be among the best. The Brothers send regards to LaShe, Parker and all friends. Dave Smith, of our company wishes to hear at once from Chas. Miller of Chattanooga Tenn., on business of utmost importance to Mr. Miller. Address me at the Freeman office at once. The big trio offers a liberal reward for the address of Oscar Lindsay. --- Notes from P. G. Lowery's Concert Band and Vaudeville Co: We are still touring Canada. Everything is coming our way, even the wind. We find the climate delightful. We had the pleasure of meeting, Wm. Carter, manager of the Canadian Jubilee Singers, July 11, at his beautiful residence at Hamilton Ont. We are all very proud of Mr. Carter. He has proven himself the most successful colored manager we have. His motto is "Engage the most refined talent and pay every week. Mr. Cary, the cornetist with Mr. Carter assisted him in making the city of Hamilton, Ont., the garden spot of our Canada trip. Our friend Jim Wilson, the noted juggler formerly a room mate of Mr. Lowery made it very pleasant forns at his home in Brantford Ont. Jim is looking good aid is running his own business. We expect to meet our old orchestra leader. Ed. Jones, in Elmira, N. Y. We are all looking forward to a pleasant visit with friends and relatives in Columbus O., on the 9th of August. Sallie Lee will spend the day with her father and sisters. You can use your judgement about our visit to Indianapolis Ind. It is an understood fact that Mr. Knox will see every part of our big show and after that Mr. Knox invites our entire company to his own original play "Home Ain't Nothing Like This." P. G. sends regards to Harry Jackson and all friends. He would like to hear from Oliver Perry, Fountain B. Woods and Mr. Simons. Johny Jones sends regards to all New York and Cincinnati friends. Prentis Oliver says he likes his trip through Canada and is having a good time among his Indian friends. Regards to Charley Williams and Bud Truly. DINING ROOM NOTES William Irvin and William Baker were highly entertained at the residence of Mrs. Mand Izzard in Toronto. Sandy Edwards, of dining room No. 1 has been on the sick list for the past week but is improving. Harl Johnson and James Bulliton were entertained at Hamilton Friday.

Mr. Logan is anxious to hear from "The long lost friend" before accepting contracts for the coming season, of which he holds an option on several. All mail to him can be addressed to 114 W. 81st street, N. Y.

Ed. Green, Judson Hicks, Will Cooke, James Worrell Pete Washington and Jno. Montgomery.-Geo Hammond is spending the week in Kingston, Ont PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHY We wake up to find the new era has added new history to the primeval standing of performers and stage productions. The vaudeville star, minstrel comedian, musical artist and dancing expert, no longer occupies the most distinguished individual standing among colored actors. The comedy stars according to classification now hold first place. THE LEGITIMATE STANDARD. THE LEGITIMATE STANDARD. The legitimate standard of the foremost actors has not yet been established nor will it be until they can reach a financial basis that will place them above future appearances in vaudeville. They have all fallen short, up to date. Bob Cole had to go back into vaudeville between meals. Williams and Walker had not yet omitted their famous ragtime war dance. Ernest Hogan wanted to star but could not get ready. I surmise that Williams and Walker will be the first comedians to establish a precedent. They have advantage of the best management, but Bob Cole and Ernest Hogan are smart actors and Cole will keep us guessing. Sissieretta Jones, who is already legitimate, has established a precedent, but she will have to appear, before many seasons pass, in a one act opera in its entirety, or else take second place in the rank of distinction. WISDOM FOR THE WICKED. Every well known white manager who has handled colored shows and given them up for white ones has gone bankrupt. This is a victory for good white managers and a lesson to hypocrites. The day has come when the light of intelligence among colored performers must shine most brightly. The disagreements between a manager and a performer, where only one side of the story is heard has no weight. The members of the company are sure to scatter the news and the verdict of opinion soon creeps out in favor of one or the other. It is never of any interest to the public except for speculation. The few sectional prejudices which exist between performers, East, West and South must not be entertained. It all amounts to nothing. Its a good joke. P. J. Howley, of Howley, Haviland and Dresser, music publishers took a trip abroad last winter in search of a substitute for the "coon" song. Paul Dresser, of the firm, is religious and don't write coon songs. In the meantime, Jos. W. Stearn's music company has consumed all the famous song writers in New York, headed by Bob Cole, to flood the market with genuine coon songs. Now what will poor Mr. Haviland, the hustling partner, do? Felix F, Fiest, a white man, author of the words to the coon song, "If Time was Money" has used the word "nigger" in the second verse of his song. I find the word "nigger" to be common place and not appreciated by the best classes of people. There seems to be no objections to the word "coon" and the word "darkey" could easily be substituted for "nigger" in cases of a dysyllable. TWO NEW COMEDY STARS. Walter Smart and George Williams two extra fine comedians will star during the present season in "The Pullman man Porters." The play has a good name. Its author is carefully omitted. If the play is a failure we will probably never know who the author was. It will be a big city attraction under the management of James D. Flynn. Managers Rusco & Holland have announced Billy Kersands as the leading For Foy Elliott's Ragtime Opera Co., for summer and fall season 10 ladies that sing, dance, play musical instruments, do acrobatic or novelty acts.

Ker sands is the time honored warrior of the minstrel stage from under whose wing many young chickens-now grown up larger than he-were hatched. Now Clarence Powell has asserted his supremacy. As minstrel headlights go, Mr. Powell is getting rather lightheaded. He must soon turn over a new leaf. Mr. Kersands is the star. ? Bob Cole is wading in the deep blue sea, histrionically, at present. The billows are serging over his head. He can't see land extra handy. It would worry him awful much if he did not have access to the topmost bough of the song writers fig tree. When he begins to sink he can climb up the tree. "There you will find him:— "Eating figs by the score Among the twigs—nothing more." Falsehoods and Hearsays. Falsehoods and Hearsays. Dallas, Tex. Special.-The citizens of this great metropolis must stand by and render unto another one of those mallious falsehoods and hearsays. We have a few drones and holdbacks to every business proposition that has been put by Negroes here. These same Negroes have and will in a short time receive due credit for their greediness toward their fellow business man in every walk of business operated in Dallas. There is competition between 25 barbershops, 20 restaurants, 18 saloons and 24 grocery stores, doctors and lawyers. There are two other Negro organizations here that should have the support of every Negro of Dallas and their confidence combined. They have no opposition only from the brother white man, and he to-day is more friendly toward the success of them. Some of these same Negroes don't want to belong to that nigger sick association, and don't want them nigger undertakers to bury me when I am dead. This class of Negroes should become a little better informed on all lines, then they could see the light of their actions. Something has and is going wrong here with some of the societies. Are their funerals too big for the People's Co. to handle? Yet every member in it can stand by and see that same thing carried on and not speak of it. Weak ones, wake up and inquire the cause and stop it, and let your dead be buried by the People's Co. and insure the progress to go on and up. It is said it takes all kind of people to make a world. Creatures like these are going to be disturbed very often when attempting such measly methods of eaking out excuses as are going the rounds about that funeral of one of its members. Let every kind of business grow. The lights are now turned on and will shine on the evil doers here. You should read The Freeman to know it every week. Dallas Union Lodge No. 1940 Odd Fellows, elected Representative Frank C. Rutherford to State Grand Lodge, also W. J. A. Jackson to meet with the B. M. C. at New Haven, Conn. These two worthy representatives will represent the interest of Odd Fellows up to date. The 4th passed off very noisy. The picnics at Metropolitan and Shady View parks were well attended. It is the regret of every citizen and loyal voter to read of the occurrence of Thursday night, the 3d, near Mount Rose Baptist church, in which a good man was killed by officer Colbetter. Mr. Joe Combs leaves many friends, both white and black, to mourn his demise. He was a member in good standing in several organizations. The Sunday-school benefit given at the residence of Miss Ella Crutchfield was a financial success. "Esther," the beautiful queen, was repeated Monday night, July 7th, to a large and appreciative audience. The leading characters of this play deserve much praise.

What can you do to better conditions? What will you do? “The Man-on-the-Corner,” who writes thesame kind of “Hot Staff” for a Washington exchange as I write for this paper, threw the following bouquet at himself, in a iate issue of the journal he honors with his bright thoughts and keen observation (?) or over-bearings. (This is a peach Iam throwing at him) he says: “The Man-on-the-Corner remains a mystery, despite the fact that there are many who think they have gotten onto his curves.’ From the number of places he appears and the multifarious ‘obser- vations’ he makes, it might reasonably be asserted that the Man-on-the-Corner is a modern Proteus—he must certainly assume—in the time allowed to his per- egrinations—numerous forms, charac: ters and colors. Some say Shakespeare's works were written by a cabal of fa- ‘mous scholars at the English court, who wished to paint figures that would live in history, without having their high caste exposed, or being reduced to com- petition with the ‘penny-a-liners,’ who absorbed mixed-ale at the White Horre tavern at the expense of the passing throng, and scribbled off ‘copy’ amid carling fumes from a cob-pipe. The strolling player ‘Shakespeare ’ eager to earn his sa t, may have served as an ex- cellent ‘chopping block’ for these erndite British grandees—wh. knowe? And who can find out, now that all parties to the secret—including Ignatins Donnelly- have gone the way of all the earth? Who knows that the suspected Man-on-the. Corner is only convenient ‘storm-cen ter’ for mass of caustic manuscript, written by a coterle of Washington's literary ‘table-round’—so that the spirit of cohesion may be preserved, while 8 wide area is being covered? Conld Shakespeare, or any other man, have traveled in all the countries desoribed in his productions, or been admitted to ue inner circle of the nobility, with whose every heart throb he seemed fa- miliar? In one short week, does anyone ‘think {t possible for the Man-on-the- ‘Corner to keep vigil at hia putative post, visit the charches,|iteraries, restaurante, Slabs, banquets, balls and schools, and ‘chat with prelates, pugilicte, orators raconteurs, educators, society leaders and politicians, without serious risk of nervous prostration! Well, be all these things as they may, Shakespeare writ- ten by any pen or many will never cease toinspire the univereal soul, and the Man-on-the-Corner will continne to do business at the old stand, dealing out justice to the meritorious and ‘roasting’ those who will not or cannot ‘toe the mark’ set by ‘His Imperial Mystery.’” THE SWEETHEART I NEVER HAVE SEEN. ‘“ozhere’s to the sweetheart I never have seen, ‘Tho one fairest woman—my idol my queen,— ‘Who thralls me with mystery,calls me her own And sweeps up the stairs of my head to her throne With a pride of possession so charmingly aweet, ‘That I mile at the confident sound of her feet, ‘As Treach out my arms with a yearning that she Understands as she on my welcoming knee With a look so appealing, so fond and serene— ‘The dear little sweetheart I never have seen." eae I am not the author of the above lines as the quotation marks will show (un- less left ont by the typesetter) but “them’s my sentiments, yes them’s my sentiment” about 8 Ky school teacher— a lady and a echolar--who I never have seen. ene Brief Business Facts About the Invin- cible Sons and Daughters of Commerce. tat.

For the first time since we have been in the city, as pastor, we were given full control of the funeral services without interference. We are grateful for the loyalty and mark of appreciation shown by sister Elbert and family to the church and pastor. Bishop Grant stood before a large congregation last Sunday morning and delivered, not only an able, but very effective discourse. Many tears were shed and hearts impressed. The following persons joined the church: Miss Eva Wynn, on probation; Maggie Crosswhite, Addie Hummons, Eveline Hale, Carrie Taylor and J. H. Hinton; the four ladies were received into full fellowship by re-obligation and Mr. Hinton by certificate. The pastor addressed the young people in the grove for Rev. Ratliffe last Sunday. Next Sunday at 10:45 a.m., Mr. S. L. Bowles will preach. At 3:30 p.m. a program will be rendered by Prof. Collins and Secretary S. W. Evans, assisted by others, for the purpose of raising the amount necessary for expenses to the Negro Young People's Christian Congress. The trustees are arranging to have a big rally on the third Sunday in August. Each trustee will rally his individual forces with the endeavor to raise $100 each. Bishop Grant will marshal the forces that day. Now that Sunday funerals are out of date, the next thing is to do away with the old custom of marching around the church looking at the exposed faces of the dead. Why cannot people, if they are sincere, go to the house to see their friends; if strangers, why yield to a morbid curiosity? We never look at dead faces; we want to carry in our mind living images; we believe in a gospel of life. R. R. DOWNS. SIMPSON CHAPEL NOTES. A larger congregation than usual was present last Sunday and the collection was good. There were three additions this week-Louis Jackson, of Lexington, Ky., Isaac Rambo, Rome Ga. and Miss Mildred Board-Hardinsburg, Ky.

Simpson and Barnes Chapels were both largely represented during the sessions. The lawn fete and wheel social at North Indianapoils and the Junior league picnic at Riverside park were enjoyable affairs.

He returns tonight and will preach at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. The Woman's Home Missionary Society will have a special service and Thanks Offering to-morrow at 8 p.m. and an interesting program is assured.
