THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. "All things come to them that wait, providing they hustle while they wait."—Charles W. Anderson. "Get out of our sunshine."—R. H. Boyd. VOL. II. CHASE HALL DEDICATED Wednesday, March 6, a Gala Day at Fisk University. THOUSANDS GATHER TO DO HONOR TO THE OCCASION. THE BEAUTIFUL BUILDING OF THE DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED SCIENCES THROWN OPEN FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION — PROMIENT MEN FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE PARTICIPATE IN THE EXERCISES—PROF. T. W. TALLY HERO OF THE DAY. Under the most favorable circumstances and under one of the bluest of Southern skies, Nashville recorded a pleasing event, for another valuable asset was added to it as an educational center. Fisk University profited wonderfully by the addition of a new building to the many already located on its campus. Nashville profited by the concourse of prominent visitors from all parts of the United States who had gathered to participate in and witness the dedication exercises. The entire day Wednesday, from 6:50 a.m., until 8 p. m., was given over to one continued round of exercises at this, the most notable university in the United States attended by Negroes. No school can boast of having been put before the world in a more impressive manner than Fisk University. Especially did the former Jubilee Singers endear to the hearts of the world the cause of Fisk. Its educators and its students have wandered in every walk of life. Notwithstanding this great and wonderful achievement, the school marches on to success. Not always in leaps and bounds but with a sure certainty of advancement. The climax reached March 6, was the work of nearly a quarter of a century, the foundation of which was laid by the late Prof. Chase, who, like the former ploneers from the North in Negro education, dreamed a dream of a bright future and laid deep the foundation upon which this generation must build its structure. The order of services Wednesday was the most elaborate yet recorded. At 6:30 a. m., a special trolley ride beginning at the Union Station, taking in various portions of the city and ending up at the University, where breakfast was served at 7:30. At 8:45 a. m., were chapel services and addresses of welcome with hearty response. From 9:20 to 12:15 p. m., there were recitations which were witnessed by hundreds of visitors. 12:20 p. m. dinner was served and from 1:30 to 2:15 p. m. were recitations and visitor's welcome. The most interesting part of the program began at 2:30 p. m., which was the dedication services of the new building, which is a magnificent, $25,000 structure recently erected on the site of Bennett Field. It is a three-story, pressed brick, with white marble trimmings and rock foundation. The building is handsomely furnished throughout with electric lights, show cases, gas appliances, and, in fact, everything that goes to make up a comfortable and well furnished scientific hall. Its recitation rooms, halls and show rooms are neatly arranged, everything having a place and everything to its place. The position of this building is boldly fronting that of Jubilee Hall, commanding a magnificent site, which seems to stand as a monument side by side with Jubilee Hall. It is "Chase Hall," the new building for the Department of Applied Sciences at Fisk University, that was dedicated. A party of twenty-four members of the American Missionary Association were present and took an active part in the program. The exercises were opened by the Mozart Society Chorus, followed by invocation by Rev. DeWitt S. Clark, of Splem, Mass. After a piano solo by Miss A. Robinson, President Merrill made a few statements relative to the history and purpose of the university in which he said: "Fisk University was founded on a basis of the brotherhood of man. It began with the idea that any one who could receive the very best education and use it in the best way should have it. "Fisk was established shortly after the close of the Civil War. It was opened with the grammar grades and those who entered, old and young, entered the primary classes. After ten THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1907. NASHVILLE. TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1907. CHASE HALL, FISK UNIVERSITY. years we had a graduating class of four members and since that time we have had a graduating class each year. Young men and women have gone out to be teachers, doctors, lawyers and in every walk of higher life. "When the university was founded we knew nothing of manufacturing, but later we learned that in order to prepare our students to make the most of life, they should not only know Latin and Greek, but they should be educated along the line of manual training and applied science. The Slater fund has made it possible for us to erect this new building. "To create leaders is our ambition." Dedicatory Address. Rev. Frank S. Fitch, D. D., of Buffalo, N. Y., delivered a strong address on "Education." Dr. Fitch said in part: "The Bible story* began in a garden and ended in a metropolis. Education is simple and complex. It was a comparatively easy thing for the parents to teach their children their occupations and manners of living, but the present age demands a greater variety of knowledge. We began by learning those things which were necessary to secure livelihood, but now we are beginning to go deeper to gain a knowledge which tends to develop the country." "Scientific education gives excellent opportunities for us to know the mind of God. God created the world and left it, but he is here developing it and enriching it. There is now no unfriendliness between the teacher of science and religion. Science serves as a kind of symbolism to teach us some truths which are taught in the Bible. I hope there is not a man within the hearing of my voice who would become discouraged but would use these principles to advance his life. As I look upon the race and the descendants of the freedman I think all things are possible to them. We can find no greater problem in the South than that of your race and that is being beautifully solved by higher education." On Chase's Foundation. Prof. W. G. Waterman said: "On an occasion like this we look back to the days of Frederick Chase, who for a number of years worked in Fisk University and in honor of whom our new building has been named. His ideals were big and he looked to the future. We have built our magnificent building upon the foundation which he laid. As a result of the work he did here, we are now looking forward to the future work which we hope to do in this building. Our idea is to teach pure science." Prof. T. W. Talley, of Fisk University, sald: "I come before you today representing the College Department, but before attempting to make an address I would like to make one illustration. not, however, to the detriment of the time allotted. I am reminded this evening of an incident that occurred when I was quite a boy attending services at a country church house; the minister, who was the main speaker for the day, had spoken for two hours, at the conclusion he announced that he had two other ministers whom he would like to introduce to the audience. The first one did not speak long and the second' said he only wanted to make 'A few scattered remarks.' I listened to him for about an hour and union looking around I saw the congregation had about scattered to the four points on the compass. It was then that I caught the definition to his 'Few scattered remarks.' So it is not my purpose, ladies and gentlemen, to make 'A few scattered remarks, this evening, for you have already listened to three most excellent addresses, but I do want to say something in regard to the chemistry in the scientific depart- (Continued on Page 2.) SETTING THE PAGE THEIR STAPLE AND FANCY GOODS BEAR GOVERNMENT PURE FOOD LABELS—NEGROES PUSHING TO THE FRONT IN BUSINESS. The Negroes of Nashville have just cause to be proud of the new up to date grocery store of Gary & Caruthers that has just been thrown open to the public. It has long been the complaint that certain kinds of fancy groceries could not be purchased from colored men in that branch of business, and the only way to get what was wanted was to go to a place kept by a white man, and though it was not very pleasant to wait until all the white customers were served before being waited on, there was no other alternative. People from this city visiting other cities have returned home lamenting because the colored merchants here were so far behind those in other cities, but all of this need no longer be heard. Gary & Caruthers have come to fill this long felt want, and are fully prepared to deliver the goods. In their new place, 410 Cedar street, they have as fine a line of staple and fancy groceries as can be found in any store in this city. Every ounce of stuff is fresh and of the best brand, and is beautifully arranged. The building is new, having just been completed to accommodate their large stock of goods. They have not bought up a lot of old refuse goods or job lots, but have everything fresh and new. A Globe reporter while looking over the stock discovered a dalny box labelled "Jelly." The jar was encased and the reporter was curious to know just what the package contained, so asked to be shown one of the packages, and the label read thus: "This package shipped after Jan. 1, 1907. Is guaranteed under "The Food and Drugs Act, June 30, 1906. of the United States, and under the Food Law of the States. Dodson-Braun Manufacturing Company, St. Louis. Mo." Every article they have that comes under the new Pure Food Law is stamped with Government approval. These enterprising men deserve the patronage of the Negroes of this city and also deserve to be paid for their goods. Mr. Caruthers in talking to a Globe reporter said: "All we ask for is our share of the patronage of Nashville's generous public." He said they would endeavor to meet the prices of the market and would keep a fresh supply on hand. This store was opened not to run during the summer and then close, but to stay and the only way they can keep their door open is for the people to buy their stuff and pay them for it. The Globe wishes for them continued prosperity, and hope they will feel the need of advertising in the Nashville Globe. CHOIR ENTERTAINED. The members of the Third Avenue Baptist Church Choir were royally entertained by the president, Mr. B. B. Hudson, last Wednesday evening. The occasion was an especially enjoyable one. Music was enjoyed until a late hour, when refreshments were served. Those present were Rev. J. L. Harding, Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Batson, Mr. John Crosby, Mrs. M. L. Cottrell, Misses Minnie Lee Mayberry, Minnie N. Polk, Mary Buchanan and Mary A. Dunson. THE NEGRO EXHIBIT AT THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. Mr. Thos. J. Calloway, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Negro Department of the Jamestown Exposition, was in the city two days last week looking after the Negro exhibits in Nashville. While here he was the guest of Dr. F. G. Smith, the Principal of Pearl High School. His time was so short that he could not see but a few of the persons, who will make an exhibition of their work. Chief among these were Fisk University and the National Baptist Publishing Board. Mr. Calloway spoke in glowing terms of the Negro Building, which was erected at a cost of $40,000. He said that space was being taken rapidly and everything pointed to a creditable exhibit from the Negro race. He was sorry that Tennessee, which ought to be foremost in progress and development was slow to take hold. "This slowness, however," he said, "In part accounted for by the change in the administration of affairs at Washington. This change necessitated other changes all over the country and this caused a cessation in preparation." Dr. F. G. Smith has been appointed to look after Exposition business in Tennessee, and intended exhibitors are requested to consult with him. Field agents are now appointed instead of Commissioners. This change of men is in no way a reflection on previous employees, but simply a change of administration. Mr. Calloway left for Atlanta to look after exhibits in the state of Georgia. MURDEROUS ASSAULT. News has reached Nashville from Trenton, Tenn., that Quila Partee and his wife, Ella, living on the farm of Mrs. Lizzie Fairless in the Eleventh District, engaged in a quarrel yesterday, which came near causing the death of the woman. Mrs. Partee accused her husband of very serious faults, threatening to leave him, which so enraged him that he is said to have grabbed a gun barrel which was used as a fire stick and struck her over the side of the head, inflicting an ugly wound; and again over the shoulder and on the back, causing bad bruises. Not satisfied he snatched his gun, presenting it to the terrified woman's breast. She grabbed the barrel, forcing it down as it was discharged, receiving a flesh wound. The woman was rescued from death by her son, who interfered. She is very seriously hurt. The husband fled but is being hunted by officers. THE CONDITIONS IN MEXICO. A few weeks ago a party of Americans made an extended trip through Old Mexico. They went on what is known as the "Raymond-Whitcomb Excursion." And since returning from Mexico, they have discussed it and its conditions as a republic, the treatment of its subjects, the positions for business, profession and other vocations in life. A member of this party has lived in Nashville, but his views are not known nor are the views of the majority of the members of the party, but it would be interesting to know just the opinion that one who has lived in Mexico for the past three years has formed of this republic. The following is clipped from a letter received from the City of Mexico, the Capitol of the Republic: "The conditions in Mexico are so varied that it would take one much better acquainted with the country (although I do not claim to be entirely ignorant of it), in fact, one better educated than I am to give the prevailing conditions adequate description. I will say, however, that any one with a profession, whether in the arts, crafts, or everyday business life, who can lay claim to be able to do one thing and do that one thing well, need not fear coming to Mexico. Of course, there have been failures and there will be more; but where can we not find them? Competition is getting keener every day but not quite as mercilessly keen as in the sister Republic to the North." WILL ATTEND THE WEDDING. WILL AT FEND THE WEDDING. Mrs. J. J. Benedefel, of Hot Springs, Ark, wife of Mr. J. J. Benedefel, a letter carrier of the Hot Springs Post Office, and daughter of Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., will visit the city, so it is learned, to witness the marriage of her brother, J. Blaine Boyd, on the 20th inst. Mrs. Benedefel at one time was cashier of the Publishing Board, and up to about eighteen months ago resided in Decatur, Ala., but since moved to Hot Springs. She will spend about three or four weeks in Nashville visiting her mother before returning to her Arkansas home. A rumor is out that at the wedding of young Mr. Boyd, an effort will be put forth to have a family re-union, on condition that Mrs. Hall and her children from Texas can be present. No. 9. WARNING CRY SOUNDED Dr. G. V. Roman Delivers Timely Address at St. John SUNDAY AFTERNOON--GIVES GOOD ADVICE TO LEARERS. THE MEMBERS OF THE ENDEAVOR SOCIETY AND PUBLIC GENERALLY GIVEN THE KEY TO RIGHT LIVING—VERY FAVORABLE COMMENT HEARD ON ALL SIDES—SPEAKER SHOWED THAT THE RACE IN LIFE WOULD BE WON BY THE THINKERS. Last Sunday evening at 7 o'clock the Allen Christian Endeavor of St. John A. M. E. Church enjoyed a rare treat in a timely address by Dr. C. V. Roman, M. D., the eye, ear and nose specialist. The services were late in opening owing to the slowness in the gathering of the members, and it was nearly half past seven before Mr. D. A. Hart, the president, announced the first song. Prayer was offered by Mr. W. D. Rucker. The president stated that it was the purpose of the executive committee to have from time to time able men and women address the Endeavor Society on the leading topics of the day, the object being to teach the people the right principles of Christian living. He said in view of the fact that the first national session of the Allen Christian Endeavor would be held in that church in July of this year, it was desirous to make the Endeavor Society of St. John the largest in the African Methodist Church, and one of the best and most thoroughly informed. He said many thousands are expected to visit this city in July, and the co-operation of all lovers of Christianity is sought that Nashville may hold up her reputation before the representative people that will be here from all parts of the country. "We feel highly complimented to have Dr. Roman to speak to us this evening and I take great pleasure in presenting to you this able thinker and Christian worker." Dr. Roman said: "As a rule when the announcement is made that Dr. So and So will speak in a church it is generally presumed that the gentleman is a minister of the gospel. But I am not, I am only an ordinary layman as you are. But at the last General Conference the body saw fit to put one layman on the Committee on Laws and Rules and the gentleman who is to address you to-night was that one layman so honored by that General Conference." He urged the people to think. Said he "weigh your words. Remember your obligations. If you are to be at a meeting at six o'clock, be there at six by the clock. I was to be here at seven this evening, and I was here, but you did not meet me according to your promise, and you have not therefore lived up to your promise." He announced for a subject Ecclesiastes 9:9; 12:14: "Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun." "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." He said, "It is a characteristic of the Negro race that they do not think, for if they had been a thinking people, they could not have lived through the period of slavery in this country, for oppression maketh a wise man mad, not in the general sense, but it drives him crazy, and the one point I want to rivet to your minds is the necessity of being thoughtful. At one time during the years I lived in San Antonio, Texas, and while I was doing a general medical practice, I had a call about two o'clock in the morning. The course took me through the most beautiful residence portion of the city, like the which there is no section in Nashville. On my return, and you know it is very quiet at that hour, my attention was attracted by a light in one of those large mansions, and I looked and my eyes beheld a man with white beard and speckled hair bent over a table figuring. I drove to a corner near by and under an electric light I saw a group of Negro men laughing and talking. I at once made up my mind which of (Continued on Page 2.) Diseases of Women and Children.

There was a time when scientists used glasses to see the moon, and this for a long time was considered the only service to which they could be properly put, but to-day there is not a port in the United States where glasses are not used on every gallon of molasses that lands at the port, to ascertain, to the exact ounce, the amount of sugar in every gallon." "When I was in Florida," continued Prof. Talley, speaking of science by way of illustration, "I was making some investigations because I had heard that a butterfly, if fed on a certain leaf, would change its color, so I determined to make the experiment. Therefore, I got two caterpillars. Their names are not very significant, yet I will give them: one was papilio-asterias, the other papilio-cresaphontes. These two were put up to feed upon a certain leaf. One ate and thrived, the other perished. In other words, one accepted the conditions. The other could not, which taught me that no people can live and thrive unless they are in harmony with their surroundings. This is true with our people." Continuing, he said, "I rejoice in this movement which has been launched here. There is a large place in our racial circles for colleges of applied science. The man or woman who is not in harmony with his surroundings must pass away, be lost to sight. There is a great industrial awakening in the South and the Negro will soon be called upon to take responsible positions in the industrial world. As the call for skilled men increases we must be ready to meet the demand." The Jubilee Club, under the able management of Prof. John W. Work, who is recognized as one of the best composers of Jubilee songs, sang "Listen to the Lambs all Crying," a new song which has never before been sung by a club. Following a selection of the Glee Club, the meeting was adjourned to meet in Chase Hall for the dedicatory prayer. At Chase Hall. Every room in this beautiful building was closely inspected by visitors and students, all of whom had come over from the exercises at Memorial Chapel. Rev. Dr. Llewellyn Pratt, D. D., of Norwich, Conn., offered a most servent prayer dedicating the building to the cause of Christ as a Christian educational institution. Dr. Pratt has been a member of the executive board of the American Missionary Association for about twenty years. He is pastoring a large congregation in Connecticut, and came South in response to the invitation extended. Following the exercises there was a base ball game for the entertainment of the guests. Supper was served at the dormitory at 5:30 o'clock and at 6:45 o'clock prayer meeting was held, during which a number of addresses were given by various visitors, interspersed with jubilee songs. Following this meeting President and Mrs. Merrill gave a reception to the guests and faculty. The following is the official program as rendered: Program.

Rev. T. A. Thompson, D. D. Presiding Elder of the A. M. E. Church, Louisville, Ky., District, is spending a few days with his wife, daughter and son-in-law at Locust Lawn. Rev. E. L. Vincent, student of Walden University, delivered two very acceptable sermons to the congregation of Brooks Chapel M. E. Church last Sunday morning and evening. The Magnolia Club, of Brentwood, met March 4, 1907 at the resident of Mrs. Ed. Bills on the Franklin Pike. The weather being pleasant a goodly number of ladies were present. At five o'clock the guests were called into the dining room, which was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and ferns, and an appetizing dinner of six courses was served. All dined heartily wishing that the hostess would entertain the club again. Those present were Mesdames Mora Walker, Patsy Raines, Henry Perkins, Eliza Vernon, Cora Fields, Nora Dowell, Ann Johnson, Laura Voorhees, Susie Hunt, Janie Merritt, Anna Woods, Lucretia Bills; Messrs. Ed. Bills and Alex Raines. The gentlemen present complimented the ladies on the work of the sewing circle. After the recent very wet spell the farmers of this vicinity are hopeful that they will soon get to plowing. Mrs. Cora L. Fields was called away from school last Friday to attend the funeral of a relative. Mrs. Hubbard Newsome returned last Wednesday from a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Emma Winston, of Orme, Tenn. The Brooks Chapel M. E. Church Sunday School, under the superintendency of Prof. J. C. Crawley, is in a flourishing condition, and was highly complimented by Rev. E. L. Vincent, of Walden University. AN APPROACHING WEDDING. AN APPROACHING WEDDING. Invitations are out announcing the coming marriage of Miss Mayme Kelly Clemmons to Mr. J. Blaine Boyd. This announcement, sent out by Mr. and Mrs. J. Turner Clemmons, parents of the bride, was received with delight among the wide circle of acquaintances of the two young people, and came as no surprise, as Dame Rumor had already cheated the invitations of this, but could not take from it the certainty of the official announcement. At this wedding will culminate the capitulation of two hearts that wooed each other for the past four years. Miss Clemmons has been in Nashville for about ten years and is a graduate from the normal department of Walden University, while Mr. J. Blaine Boyd is the second son of Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Boyd, a Texan by birth, having come to Nashville about nine years ago. At present he is foreman of the press room of the National Baptist Publishing Board, while Miss Clemmons has been employed as a clerk in the mailing department of the same institution. The wedding will take place Wednesday afternoon March 20, 1907, at 5 o'clock, at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. There will be a reception from 6 to 9 p. m., at their residence, 1502 14th avenue, North. TO SPEAK AT CENTERVILLE. TO SPEAK AT CENTERVILLE. Upon invitation from Prof. T. J. Clinisson. Principal of the Centerville High School and Academy at Centerville, Tennessee, Rev. W. S. Ellington, editorial secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, and pastor of the First Baptist Church, will deliver a lecture before the students, faculty and citizens to-night. Rev. Ellington has in that city, as in Nashville, preached and talked himself into the hearts of all the people. They are constantly issuing invitation after invitation for him to come to their city. Prof. Clinisson, the principal, is a very energetic young man and has a progressive school. NON-RESIDENT NOTICE. Max Rules 1907 Isaac R. Watkins vs. Estella Watkins. In this cause it appearing to the satisfaction of the Court that the defendant is a non-resident of the State of Tennessee, therefore the ordinary process of law cannot be served upon her; it is therefore ordered that said defendant enter her appearance herein at the next term of the Davidson County Circuit Court, to be holden at the Court House in Nashville, Tennessee, on the first Monday in May, it being the sixth day, and defend, or said complainant's bill will be taken for confessed as to her and set for hearing ex parte.

ANDERSON PROMINENT CITIZEN ROBBED. The genial Secretary and dean of the Globe Publishing Company, Mr. Chas. H. Burrill, while on his way home last Friday evening had the misfortune to fall in among thieves and consequently is short of a part of his filthy lucre which makes the mare go. Mr. Burrill stopped at one of the business firms between his residence and the Globe office to make a few trifling purchases for some friends and after he had received his packages and paid for them it is thought that two burly men succeeded in connecting themselves with his money. The loss was not discovered until he had reached home. He returned at once to the scene of the robbery but was unable to gain any information concerning the lost amount. WARNING CRY SOUNDED. the two would win. My friends, I want to leave one thought with you, and that is, you will be brought into judgment for every thing you do and for everything you say. When you make an obligation, keep it." The address was highly appreciated by all present and many were heard to express their approval of all that was said. On Sunday evening, March 10, the Endeavor society will be addressed by Mr. J. C. Russell, of Goodletsville, Tenn. Mr. Burrill is of a retiring disposition and always shuns anything which has a tendency to give notoriety, hence it is thought that he has failed to put the matter in the hands of the police as yet. HELIOTROPE CIRCLE. The Helliotrope Circle, which held its last meeting Monday, February 26, at the residence of Mrs. W. N. Hill, S01 Ewing avenue, where their work was displayed very nicely, making the reception room very attractive and inviting. After business was transacted by the President, Mrs. D.

Miss Frankie Caldwell, of the Senior Preparatory Class, who was called to her home, Friar's Point, Miss., last week on account of the illness of her mother has returned to school. The friends of Miss Pearl Erwin, of Bell Buckle, Tenn., are glad to see her in school again. Miss Erwin had been out of school a while on account of illness. The Fisk Debating Club met in regular session Thursday night, February 28. The subject for debate was: "Resolved that woman suffrage would be for the best interests of the civilized world." J. G. Browne and B. A. Jackson were the affirmative speakers and H. R. Merry and Jas. Robinson supported the negative. The debate was decided in favor of the affirmative. Judges—Dr. G. W. Henderson, T. P. Haralson and Wm. Dawson. A large number of the young ladies were present with Miss D. A. Scribner, professor of literature. MISS GRANT RETURNS: Miss Josephine S. Grant, of 1606 Jackson street, returned Monday evening from Baltimore, Md., where she has been with her patient, Mrs. Dr. Pomeroy, whom she carried from Monterey, Tenn., to be operated on at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Miss Grant had the opportunity and pleasure of meeting some of the most prominent physicians and nurses of the country. She has been with this patient since December. On her return she stopped over at Washington and Knoxville. While in Knoxville she was entertained by Mrs. Dr. McCoy, of East End Infirmary. Miss Grant is a graduate of the Nurse Training Department of Meharry Medical College and has been kept busy every since her graduation. FIRESIDE SCHOOL SOCIAL The Fireside School, under the management of Mrs. M. H. Flowers, entertained about 40 guests last Tuesday from 8 to 10:30 p. m., in honor of Miss H. K. Patrick, matron of A. and M. College, Normal, Ala. Miss Patrick was for several years connected with the work of Fireside School, and became greatly endeared to all who resided in the Home and those who were interested in the work. The program of the evening consisted of a pleasing address by Miss H. K. Patrick; solos by Misses Anderson and Garrett; duet by Miss Nettie McIntosh and Miss Claybrooks. Scripture texts were repeated by a majority of those present. The texts were found uniquely hidden in napkins passed around previous to the serving of ice cream and assorted cakes. After prayer by Rev. Mr. Carter, the guests retired. Much credit is due Mrs. Flowers and members of Fireside School for the unique and profitable entertainment and for a demonstration of the fact that religion and social intercourse will mix.

REACTIONARIES. The statement made by President Merrill, of Fisk University, before the Nashville Board of Trade concerning some remarks that had been accredited to him in an address made at Colorado Springs, drew forth the views of the Hon. Leland Hume, first and last of the Cumberland Telephone Company, and at other times first president of the Nashville Board of Trade. This is not the first time Mr. Hume has discussed the Negro question. Following the Atlanta massacre he made such a radical address at the Gospel Tabernacle that even the daily papers which were driving the recalcitrant democrats into line with the scarecrow of Negro domination at that time refused to give a faithful account of what he said. Mr. Hume, apparently, was provoked by the statement made by Dr. Merrill that a Negro owned a home on one of the principal streets of the city and that another member of our race who practices the profession of dentistry, received a considerable portion of his paironage from the members of the other race. The honorable gentleman of the Cumberland Telephone Company did not know whether or not these statements were true, but was inclined to doubt them. He was opposed to such reports because they gave the impression to the outer world that the Negroes of this city were progressing, along material lines, faster than the white people. And if they are true, then he is opposed to Fisk University or any other school which teaches Negroes to do such things. To his mind the only education suitable for those of our race is the kind that will make us better farmers. Another man who spoke in the same strain was Mr. Joseph Frank, a member of a race which sacred and profane history shows has been persecuted even more than our race. Mr. Hume confessed that he did not know whether Dr. Merrill's statements were true. There are a great many other things about his colored brothers who reside in this town probably that he does not know. If we could get his attention for a few minutes we would ask him if he has ever visited Fisk University or any of the other colleges conducted for the benefit of our race in this city except when escorting some stranger to the places of interest in the city and if he has ever investigated the record of those who have finished courses in these schools. --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1907 NASHVILLE, TENN., Feb. 27, 1907. We can cheerfully recommend "The Nashville Globe" to any one desiring to reach the colored people of this vicinity. We ascribe the great success of our sale to our colored newspaper advertising. Respectfully, ABRAHAM LINCOLN LAND CO.. In the case of Fisk University he would find, if he took the trouble to look it up, that while none of the graduates have made fabulous fortunes, not one out of 277 college graduates has been convicted of a crime. Such a record should make him feel grateful that such an institution is located in this city. As to the dentist, it is merely a matter of business between himself and his patient. If he has white customers it is no more an indication of an attempt at social equality than it would be for a white person of the Cumberland Telephone Company to rent a telephone to a Negro or a salesman, in Mr. Frank's store to sell a suit of clothes to one of our race. But why devote further space to this matter? We prefer to believe that Mr. Hume is not sincere in what he said, but rather that he was smarting under the feelings produced by the passage of the Talbet Bill, which allows another telephone Company in Nashville, and made the Negro the butt of his pent-up feelings. This we will say though, it is unfortunate that while such men as ex-Gov. Northen, of Georgia; Dr. Lambuth and others of this city, are working for an entente cordiale, as it were, between the two races in this city and elsewhere in the South, whereby the good of both races would work to put down the bad in each race, that prominent men like Messrs. Leland Hume and Joseph Frank should make such reactionary speeches as were accredited to them at the meeting of the Nashville Board of Trade last Thursday night. UNSUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS. Louisiana, since New Orleans has been made an immigration port, will try to replace its Negro labor with foreign whites. The experiments tried so far with foreigners have not proved the unqualified successes that this section has been led to expect, if current reports be true. The English girls imported for the mills in the Carolinas have gone North, alleging that they were lured to this country by false promises. From various sections Italians and other foreigners complain that they have received treatment similar to that accorded slaves. The housewives of San Antonio, Tex., who thought they had perfect jewels in their Japanese servants whom they hired recently to displace their Negro help, have been forced to return to their first love on account of the thievery, untidiness and general worthlessness of the new help. And so goes the list. Wherever foreign help has been introduced there seems to be dissatisfaction upon one side or the other. We are sorry that such is the case. It would help so much to have a few hundred thousand immigrants who believe in that racial purity which forbids white men from running after colored women. THE BURNT CORK ARTIST ON TOUR. It is the usual custom when a show has enjoyed a run in New York it is put on the road. Sometimes three or four companies producing the same play will be travelling through different sections of the country. The burnt cork artist of the United States Senate, the only and the original Benjamin Ryan Tillman, of South Carolina, following in the footsteps of other amusements, has organized himself into a lecture bureau to deliver lectures at $200 per appearance. Newspapers of worth in the South To Whom It May Concern: By N. M. Steward. have boasted that only the North would pay to witness the antics of Tillman, so to prove that they know not whereof they speak, he has arranged his tour so as to take in eleven of the Southern states. The show is billed to appear in the following states at the places named: Maryland, Baltimore, Cumberland. Virginia, Roanoke, Danville, Portsmouth, Lynchburg, Winchester, Richmond. North Carolina, Henderson, Oxford, Pinehurst, Wilmington. West Virginia, Hinton, Huntington. Alabama, Troy, Citronelle. Louisiana, Clinton. Tennessee, Pulaski, Chattanooga. Mississippi, Holly Springs. Georgia, Sandersville, Claxton, Graymount. Kentucky, Williamsburg, Somerset, Florida, Jacksonville. It is noticeable that the minstrel fails to appear at the larger cities in most of the states. In Alabama, for instance, Citronelle, by the census of 1900, had less than 2,500 inhabitants, and there are 16 other towns and cities larger than Troy, which had a population of 4,097, 2,140 of whom were Negroes. All the appointments in Georgia are at towns having less than 2,500 inhabitants. This is a very sorry showing for such a star attraction as the Pitchfork artist from South Carolina. Tillman's excursion into the South ought to be a paying venture. The people of this section are particularly fond of minstrels. Some Southern white men, though, demand something higher than that offered by Tillman. One of these, Dr. John C. Kilgo, President of Trinity College, Durham, N. C., a prominent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, who has been frequently mentioned for the bishopric of that denomination, in addressing an alumni dinner last Saturday, said in reference to Tillman and the Negro question: "The South has grown tired of its old kind of leadership, and there is a longing for some one to come forward and voice its new sentiment. Never before was there felt throughout the South by worthy men in every line of work a deeper humiliation than that recently provoked by the rough and sectional utterances of Senator Tillman in the United States Senate. "The white man of the South will continue to pay his taxes to educate the child of the Negro, while more and more he will give his influence and means toward advancing the welfare of the Negro race. But the Negro as a ghost to frighten the white voter into party lines and party acts is now a thing of the past." Dr. Kilgo represents a class of whites that is the very antithesis of that represented by Tillman. Though he is more optimistic in his last sentence than the facts would warrant, he will do more to ameliorate the conditions in the South by instilling into the students of his school the sentiments voiced in that portion of his address which we have quoted than will the burnt cork artist in his vaudeville turn. Fisk University was honored this week by a visit from a party of Northern friends, who came to the dedication of the New Chase Science Hall. These Northern "fanatics" or "cranks," as our hot-headed Southern editors and "best friends" often lovingly call them, frequently see a phase of the Southern Negro's life that the whites living here with us never observe. Fisk has done a grand work during the forty-one years of its existence and Instructions and Lessons given in Piano, Organ, Violin, Mandolin, Guitar, Voice and Harmony. The Palace Shaving Parlor.

One of the most pernicious influences that is dragging many of the young men of our race to lives of indolence, theft and crimes of a felonious nature is that of gambling. Many young men whose prospects for the future have been exceedingly bright have been ruined here in Nashville by succumbing to the temptation offered by the goddess of chance. We hope that the day is near when this species of evil, if not eradicated will be reduced to such a place where bright young men will not be led to crime. E. H. Harriman once had a reputation for secretiveness in regards to speech but his volubility since the Interstate Commerce Commission got after him for manipulating the railroads of the West gives promise of surpassing the record of loquacious Bill the boy orator of the Platte. Congress has adjourned after having appropriated almost two billion dollars. Teddy. can now devote his time to making a few more changes in the personnel of the Panama Canal Commission.

Will the gentleman kindly furnish The Bee the number of colored men and women in his state who have white fathers? The Bee is of the opinion that the bastardy in Tennessee will out number the colored population in the District of Columbia. Will the gentleman who introduced that bill kindly explain why there are so many colored people in the South with white fathers? Doesn't he believe that it would be a great deal better if he would change the character of his bill and apply the it first to Tennessee his own state, and after he has cleaned up the refuse in his own state, then apply the cleaning machine to other sections of the South?

It is not the colored man or the colored woman who is pursuing and devouring the white race. It is the white man who wont let our women alone. The Bee sees it daily. Many of our colored women are not permitted to walk upon the public streets. They are being pursued and annoyed daily. Some time ago a certain white professional man advertised for a colored girl, and when she presented herself she was asked by the brute if she wouldn't be his friend; that "she was just the kind of a girl that he wanted." And when he attempted to place his arms around her she immediately resented the insult. This is only one instance of the many that occur. It is not the white woman who needs protection, but our innocent colored girls who are continually being pursued by white men. THE VIEW OF THE CITY. [Name] MR. WYMON BRADY.

The Age in its last issue compliments the editor of "The Tribune" in issuing a daily paper, and wishes it abundant success. It truly states that we cordially agree with it, that a daily paper is sadly needed in Washington, Baltimore and Richmond. In indorsing the views of The Age we think there is no city where a daily race paper should be issued than at the capital of the nation, that could defend the race from the many false statements that appear daily in the papers of that city, and it is our belief there is no city in the country better able to support such a paper than Washington. Its population far surpasses that of any Northern or Western city; it has an element of wealth and culture that no other city can boast. It has all the elements within itself for large business enterprises and a clientele to support the same that would reflect honor and credit to our race throughout the country; yet there is no city where there is less enterprise and business thrift among its people than is to be found in Washington, nor is there one where one will find more bickerings, petty jealousies, disappointed ambitions than can be found in that city. In place of being a credit to our race, it is simply the reverse. The citizens of Washington are prolific in giving advice to their race in other cities of the country in regard to race union, race support to business enterprises; but are chary in putting the same in practice where it concerns themselves and where they have the greatest opportunity to do so.—Phliadelphia Tribune. THROWS A BOMBSHELL. Prof. W. E. B. DuBois threw a bomb-shell into the ranks of the white people of New York when he told them in a lecture a few days ago that Alexander Hamilton, Robert Browning and General Lew Wallace were of BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF TUSKEGEE. African descent. We are waiting to see some one who knows what he is talking about deny these facts. Well informed colored men have known of them for some years. The color of a man's skin may be the cause of his being denied opportunities; but it does not operate to dim his intellect. Of this fact all men who are not fools are aware.—The Odd Fellows Journal. TO RAISE OUR MANHOOD. TO RAISE OUR MANHOOD. All men of Negro blood, even the most depraved are painfully aware of the unfortunate condition of the race in many respects in the United States, nay, even the world. Every man who desires the success of the race, desires to do something to improve its condition. What shall that something be? This is the rub. Some say, the salvation of the race depends on getting wealth, some say it depends on getting intelligence; some on getting an industrial education; some on getting a higher education; but to our mind, its salvation depends largely on improving the moral condition of the race combined with intelligence, industry, and finance. The moral Negro has the combined moral support of the world at his back while the immoral Negro has the world against him. The charge that our race is largely immoral is the strong point against us by our enemies. This charge of immorality is a basis upon which many of the whites try to justify themselves in lynching for murders, for denial of civil rights, and for the denial of our political rights. This is the abhorrence and detestation in which the race is held. We will admit that nine-tenths of the charges alleged against the race are false; yet they are made and believed by many, true or not; they have their effect in the work of our degradation. This then, is the point upon which all our men can agree and upon which, all can work. Each individual can by thought, improve his morals and can work for the improvement of the morals of others.—The Richmond (Va.) Reformer. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. When Dr. Booker T. Washington comes to Nashville the latter part of this month to deliver the annual address to the graduates of the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Colleges, it is said that he will also deliver an address before the faculty and students of Vanderbilt University. When Dr. Washington was in this city at the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the founding of Fisk University, he delivered an address to the congregation of McKendree Church, the most prominent white Methodist church in the state, at the time he was invited to deliver an address at some future date at Vanderbilt, which he tentatively accepted. It is now being said, not officially, however, that he will fill the engagement while here. This is a signal honor for the "Wizard of Tuskegee," as Vanderbilt is the most prominent university in the South. LODGE DIRECTORY. GRAND LODGE K. OF P. G. C.—J. P.

There was a lively discussion on a street car one night last week as it came in from North Nashville on the Je%erson street line regarding the competency and incompetency of Judge Baker, the present judge of the police court, The participants were all white, well dressed and bs 4 intelligently, not only regarding and order, but the dutf of a public servant, One gentleman, tall, well- dressed, middle aged, was heard to re- mark, “Judge Baker is a disgrace to the city of Nashville, he has no idea of the law and is the most incompe- tent man I ever saw on a bench. His decisions depend entirely’ upon his feelings. If he comes down feeling well the fines are light, but if he feels the least bit cross his fines are all heavy. There is no attention paid to |the evidence brought out in any case by a defendant,” continues this gentle- ‘|man; “if a policeman testifies to the |contrary, the judge himself will imme- | diately dismiss the case according to -|the policeman’s testimony.” This gen- ,|tleman further stated that if any ap- peak was taken from the city court it ,| Was invariably dismissed ere it reach: *jed a higher court, It has often been ,| said that the policemen were encour *laged in their hostile treatment an¢ . bullyism to force the public becausé i they were upheld by the judge of the “| City Court.

There are at large on the Texas border between Texas and Mexico so many outlaws and bandits that at times life is almost continually in jeopardy. The following is but a sample: A special from Mazatlan, Mexico, says: "Six Rurales, as they lay asleep in the shelter of rocks in the vicinity of Tepic, were butchered by the notorious bandit, Enrique Chavez, and his band. Ranchmen and farmers in the Tepic district are in a condition bordering on panic, as it is rumored that Chavez has gathered around him other men as bloody and cruel as himself. Many efforts have in the past few months been made to capture Chavez, but his luck, nerve and knowledge of the country have always saved him." It was on the Texas border where the late Dick Wallace, of Texas, was killed, and it is also known that Ft. Brown at Brownsville is on the border. There are continued efforts by both governments to apprehend these outlaws. THE LORD'S SUPPER. This service is the most solemn of all the services conducted in a church. It is commemorating the death and suffering of one who died on Calvary, and should be so exemplified as the most important service in connection with the church. Vessels of the best make should be purchased by all churches in administering this service. The church supply department of the National Baptist Publishing Board is furnishing to the churches the best grade of quadruple-plated table silverware ever offered. The sets range in prices from $21.50 to $25.00 per set. A set constitutes one flagon, or wine pitcher, two plates and two chalices or goblets. A few of these have just been received from the factory and will be shown to any party or persons interested in church supplies, if they will call at the National Baptist Publishing Board, 523 Second avenue, North. * IS TOM COX ALIVE? Two Sundays ago a Globe reporter was passing a very noted saloon in the business part of Nashville and heard a part of a very interesting conversation regarding the possibility of Tom Cox befeng alive. It will be remembered that, Tom Cox was tried and sentenced to be hanged in this city a year or more ago. He was charged with the murder of a policeman and just a few days prior to the execution it was announced that he had committed suicide, thus cheating the law of its claim. It had been heard frequently that the real Tom Cox is not dead, but alive, but this rumor has never been substantiated by any proof. The conversation in front of this saloon was to the effect that Cox had been seen only recently. One of the party made the statement that he would bet his life that he saw Tom Cox in Chicago last month. The news and the remark came so unexpected, that it caused the reporter to retrace his steps, but evidently the three men noticed that he was trying to catch some of the conversation and it was changed ere he could hear more remarks that would lead him to make an investigation. Authorities in Nashville know that Cox committed suicide and his remains were moved from the jail of Davidson County. Was this his ghost that was seen in Chicago? Who can answer? THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. The Jamestown Exposition will soon swing open its majestic gates to the world. That the Negro will play a conspicuous part in this Exposition is a foregone conclusion. The building to be especially erected for Negro exhibits, it is said, is already near completion. It is to be a magnificent piece of architecture occupying a beautiful sight in the Exposition grounds. Nashville ought to be well represented in these exhibition halls. We have in this city much to be placed on exhibition. The Overland Steam Coach, which was invented and patented by R. L. Woods, including engine, automobile and breaks, might be there; the schools of Nashville ought to have a place; the two Publishing Houses in this city might exhibit advantageously to their respective denominations as well as to this city. The Government is certainly encouraging the Negroes in these efforts, even though it has been styled as a "Jim Crow Exhibition." It will commemorate the landing of the twenty Negroes at Jamestown in a Dutch vessel in 1619, who were the first Negroes to land in America, according to history. This exhibition will typify the progress along the educational, industrial, financial, moral and religious lines of these twenty slaves from the 250 years of bondage and the 40 years of freedom. That the exposition will be well attended by Negroes is already certain. They will come from Georgia, the two Carolinas, the two Virginia and Maryland especially; then, too, the National Baptist Convention which meets at Washington will pos- sibly adjourn to visit the Exposition If Nashville is not well represented it will be a discredit to its reputation A SLICK THIEF. There has been operating among the residents of Patterson street an extremely slick thief and a Negro thief. Several days ago he was up and down the street trying to hire some one to do some washing for a white family of the West End; when the lady went to look for the place she found no such people living anywhere near. The man returned in a few days, went to another house in the neighborhood and pretended that he had just found a large sum of money. After questioning the lady very much as to how she lived, whether she owned her place, who took care of her and where she kept her money, he offered to give her one dollar in return if she would let him use five dollars of her change for a few minutes. This lady did not yield however. He was in the neighborhood again Wednesday, entered another home, found an old lady and told her that he had some large bills and wanted to make some change for a man who was in the street and if she would let him have six dollars he would return the six and give her one for the use of it as soon as he could go down on Cedar street and return. The lady, who is feeble, went to her landlady, borrowed the six dollars, gave it to the man, who left and has not returned from Cedar street yet. She became alarmed when he did not come back in a reasonable length of time, and reported the matter to the police. They were busy all day Wednesday catching and carrying different colored men to the residence for identification. AN APPRECIABLE GIFT. Mr. W. O. Tate, of Eigth avenue, North, is the proud recipient of a beautiful meerschaum pipe which was presented to him as a souvenir direct from Naples, Italy, by Mr. Ben Lindauer, of the firm of Herman Bros, Lindauer & Co., who recently returned from a visit to the old country. Mr. Tate says it is the most appreciable gift he has received in many years, excluding a very handsome, gold-mounted pair of eye-glasses received of Mr. J. C. Napier several days ago. PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. The enthusiasm of the colored teachers has reached a high pitch over the subject of Manual Training. The surprise was great when every teacher was ordered up by the Superintendent for a first lesson. The interest was greater when Miss Ethel Northern, a teacher of manual training in the white schools, began to instruct the teachers about the meaning and use of the loom, the darner, and the weaver. But the awkwardness, the laughter, the nervousness, the success, the failure, the fun, were greatest of all. The ladies did finely, but it was certainly amusing to see the big hands of the men, holding the warp in one hand and trying to thread the darner in the other. Their fingers got heavier, the warp grew wider and the eye of the needle (I forgot, our teacher told us not to say needle). I mean the darner, became smaller. Great drops of perspiration burst out on the men's foreheads, their fingers got stiff and refused to work, their knees trembled. Excitement was high. In the bewilderment of this new experience some forgot how many inches made a foot, and when told to measure half an inch, many measured a half a foot. The ladies made a splendid beginning. In tying the seamstress' knot, in measuring quarter inches, in putting in the warp and woof, in threading the needle (I forgot again), I mean in threading the darners and weavers, their light, nimble fingers were perfectly at home. Some of the rug work was lovely and elicited praise from the teacher; but the other work,—well; let that pass, the less said, the better. Your reporter heard many compliments passed on Miss Northern. She is certainly an expert teacher, Patient, kind, painstaking, gentle, proficient, energetic, she has made a profound impression for good on the colored teachers. The Manual Training Class will meet once a week on Tuesday, and your reporter will keep the Globe informed. COLUMBIA NOTES At the last mother's meeting held at the High School building, Rev. T. W. Hampton made an address: subject, "Home Influence." The discourse was an excellent, practical and entertaining one, and was listened to by a large number of mothers and friends of the school. These monthly meetings are proving to be of great help to the teachers, parents and community in general, as it brings in closer contact the parents and teachers and closely allied to these is the clergy. With such co-operative efforts from the pulpit, school and home, much good will be accomplished. Miss Lizzie Bradshaw spent Saturday and Sunday at home last week.

The Swettenham-Davis tableau which was put on immediately after the Kingston earthquake, developed into an international question. Much speculation was indulged in as to whether Admiral Davis was hasty, repulsive and insulting in his offered aid to the sufferers, or whether Gov. Swettenham, of Jamaica, was too autocratic, arrogant and high-spirited. The papers and magazines of all nations have indulged at length in reviews of the incident and some opinions have been rendered. None, however, have appeared in the columns of local papers as coming directly from Jamaica. A Globe representative, who is personally acquainted with many people in Jamaica, opened correspondence with well-informed British subjects in this island, seeking just the exact attitude taken by the Jamaicans with regard to Davis' actions and Swettenham's resentment. He gives his views in the following letter: "I have followed the Swettenham-Davis incident. Hard to give an unbiased opinion from newspaper reports. Swettenham may have been right; Davis, ditto. One thing is certain, that in all foreign countries, as a rule, Americans are recognized for their wealth and liberality, but from the standpoint of being polished gentlemen and ladies, they are still in the backwoods of civilization. They cling too persistently to petty prejudices, yet claiming to be republicans. This is meant in a general way, of course; there are many exceptions to the rule." It can be seen from the foregoing that many Americans instead of making friends with foreigners in their own country leave the wrong impression. It has often been said that because of the American's wealth and their opportunities to accumulate wealth in a day, they take the position as dictator or czar. It is seldom recorded where Americans go in with a real charitable intention, as in the case just mentioned. Some parts of the letter just quoted, it is said by the recipient of the letter, will show that Admiral Davis attempted to take charge of the island without recognizing the governor and the other colonial officers. It is said he landed marines, established stores and supplies and began to issue orders without recognizing the British flag. These subjects of the King are as loyal to their flag as the Americans can ever be. They feel a pride in being called British subjects. No apology in the form of an apology has been made. Only official notes have been passed Mrs. Robert Bell and children arrived in the city last Friday night from Kansas City, Mo., Where they have been for several months. Mrs. Mary C. Miller, of Orange Park, Fla., writes that she enjoys every issue of the Globe. Mrs. Miller is the daughter of Mrs. T. G. Ewing, proprietor of the Nashville Shirt Factory on Third avenue, North. Dr. W. D. Chappelle, of the A. M. E. Church Sunday School Union, is spending this week in Florida on business. Mr. Wylie Anderson, who has been ill for several days is able to be back to his business. THE PRODIGAL SON. An Oratorio Presented by Walden University in the Meharry Auditorium. An appreciative audience that was and could be called a large audience, considering the extremey inclement weather, filled the spacious auditorium at Meharry Medical College last Friday night, March 1st, to witness "The Prodigial Son," which was presented to the music lovers in the form of an oratorio. This beautiful and well-rendered entertainment was under the management of Miss Mamie E. Braden, musical director of Walden University, and daughter of the late and beloved Dr. Braden, the expresident of Walden. Miss Braden is an ardent worker, tireless and unswerving in her devotion and efforts in everything that will interest Walden University. The program for the evening was one highly entertaining. It took on the professional air. The performance was to begin at 8 p. m., but a gale was blowing at the hour that marked the advent of March, and in this high gale the rain was coming down in torrents, yet many braved the storm and at 8:30 the Walden Orchestra began with a beautiful selection. Then the chorus, consisting of about fifty voices, arranged twenty-five to each side of the stage, in costumes that were catchy and becoming, furnished a fine selection. The orchestra again played and the chorus began the first strains of the oratorio, "The Prodigal Son." There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." The well-trained voices and the way in which the grand composition was rendered, appealed to the very hearts of the hearers. Those present leaned far over in their seats to catch the pronunciation of every word. At the conclusion the chorus was loudly applauded. The soloists were Miss Maud J. Roberts, soprano, who is recognized as one of the leading soprano singers in the city, and indeed on Friday night she sustained this reputation and with a clear, sweet, musical voice that was well-controlled, she rendered her parts, exciting a continuous applause on each appearance. Mrs. Laura P. Allen, the contralto, can be said to be next to Mrs. John Work. She showed wonderful ability as a contralto singer. At the end of her selection the audience showed their approval by hearty applause. Mr. W. T. Durroh, the tenor solist, gave a specimen of what a well-trained tenor could accomplish in high class musicals. While his articulation was not distinct, his voice was well-cultured, and at each appearance he showed improvement. Mr. Beaconfield Landry, in taking the bass solo part, made good. His singing was of the highest class, and especially did he render "And he arose and came to his fa ther," in a pleasing manner. No audience has enjoyed a better musical than the one at Meharry last Friday night. The choral society that took part in the recital was a host of well-trained voices. Special mention can be made of the orchestra. Each musician showed the training of professionals. AN EASTER PROGRAM. The Globe wishes to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the Easter Greeting or Easter Exercises that are being sent out by the National Baptist Publishing Board. These beautiful Easter exercises excel anything that we have seen, and this is shown both in its artistic design and workmanship and beautiful colors of blended purple and green, and also the artistic Easter lilies and other designs in gleaming colors. The Responsive Scripture Reading, Easter Songs, Recitations and Poems are in every way in keeping with the best cultivated taste. We think that every church and Sunday school regardless of denomination should see and examine copies of these Exercises before purchasing elsewhere. There is nothing in these exercises of a denominational nature but it is indeed a cantata of the most bright and sparkling gems of music. TWENTIETH CENTURY WHIST CLUB. The twentieth Century Whist Club held one of the most pleasant meetings in its history on Thursday evening, February 28, at the home of Mrs. Thos. A. Ewing, 501 Eighth avenue, North. The entire evening was spent in the game of whist, after which ice were served. The meeting, in a business and social manner, was very enjoyable. Those present were Mesdames Jake Anderson, Robt. C. Eason, Eugene Clayton, and Thos. A. Ewing, Misses John D. Blackwell, Bettie Warren, Annie Cheek and Willie M. Turner, Messrs. Guy Bodenhammer, John T. Risher, R. G.
