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. HELD IN THE INTEREST OF "DAY HOME" PROJECT. ENTHUSIASTIC SPEECHES MADE BY PROMINENT WOMEN ENGAGED IN CHARITABLE WORK THROUGHOUT THE CITY—REVS. W. S. ELLINGTON AND HENRY A. BOYD MADE ENCOURAGING REMARKS—MEETING WAS AN INSPIRING ONE. The coming together Sunday afternoon of a distinguished crowd of Nashville women in a mass meeting at the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North, regardless of denomination, organization or other interests, showed a united spirit on the part of the women. A more representative body of the fair sex has not met in Nashville. The purpose of this mass meeting was very appropriately stated by Mrs. C. H. Phillips, who was selected chairman of the meeting by common consent. She called the meeting to order at 3:30 p. m. The congregation sang "All hail the power of Jesus' name." Mrs. Evans Tyrece was on program, but owing to illness in her family she was absent. Mrs. I. B. Scott led in prayer. The Scripture lesson was read by Mrs. A. B. Carter, then the chairman, Mrs. C. H. Phillips, spoke on "Women Awakened." A more congruous subject for this meeting could not have been selected. She took in completely the entire situation. She dealt with subjects that must be dealt with by women. She took in the predicament surrounding our people and without any use of superfluous language, presented the coming of the National meeting of the World's Christian Temperance Union that is to be held in Nashville, Tenn., November 8, 1907. "This Convention will bring a distinguished delegation of women from all races, and their deliberations here will have much to do with the shaping of the national, as well as the international policy," said Mrs. Phillips. "We believe that it is our duty to go down on record here as encouragers and sympathizers in the noble work being fostered by this organization. We believe it is the duty of every woman in Nashville to lend her assistance in whatever will be of interest and benefit to the whole people." Mrs. Phillips stated that the object of the meeting, we not making any permanent preparations, was to have an expression from the various organisations as well as individuals on the proposed meeting. Owing to the absence of Mrs. McGavock, the organ voluntary was omitted. Mrs. S. W. Crosthwait was introduced and spoke on Education. She is a teacher at Fisk University and is known and generally loved in Nashville. Her logical address took in a scope along educational lines from practical experience. She related an incident from life to impress her her argument upon her hearers. She stated that for some years ago she taught two classes of boys. She would give no name or reference to reveal the identity of any members of the class, but said that this was the most unfavorable looking class she had taught during her career as a teacher. But that since her return to Nashville and since each of these boys had grown to be men, she had made a thorough canvass and found to her great surprise that ninety per cent of the class had turned out to be worthy young men, following professions and pursuing business careers that were praiseworthy. She hoped to see the time when education would be in reality the valuable asset to our race that it ought to be. Dr. Josie Wells spoke on medicine. She said that she had prepared her remarks to be addressed to women, but that she found there were men in the audience. Hence she would have to dispense with her prepared address and instead of saying "ladies" she must say "ladies and gentlemen." She branched right out into the medical argument and after showing the peculiar conditions under which women must practice medicine, she said that the time would come (not, however, in her day, but that it would surely come) when all women would be treated by her sex in the medical THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1907. line. She hoped that many of the young ladies would not only go into the medical profession but would find the nurse training profession an agreeable one. Mrs. John Work sang as only she can sing, "In His Steps." This was ineded one of the rare treats of the evening. Her rich voice filled the house with beautiful strains and all enjoyed it. Mrs. J. C. Napier was then introduced aand spoke on "Neglected Children." Mrs. Napier began her remarks by saying that for 28 or 29 years this had been her dream of life. She said that she did not want it understood that any other years were to be added on the 29 years, but that it was just 29 years, that's all. "At any rate, she said, I long to see the time when the neglected children, those neglected by parents whose vocations take them away from home early in the morning and keep them until late at night, could be looked after, fed and given the necessary training." This she declared was the intention of the Day Home Club, which through many obstacles and little encouragement from the public at large, had come from carefully laid plans to be a reality. Mrs. Jackson was to have spoken on "Charity," but was not present. Mrs. C. O. Hadley rendered a most beautiful vocal solo, "Go to the place of pity." Her rendition of this brought almost tears to the eyes of the assembly. It was a song very becoming for the occasion. Mrs. Jefferson Martin was absent, so Mrs. S. M. Lowe, Superintendent of the Tennessee School for the Blind, was introduced by the chairman. Mrs. Lowe said, "I have worked for 27 years in this work with my school, and like Mrs. Napier, it does seem at times that all have forsaken us, but by the help of the Lord we are going on, and I can, from day to day, see some fruit being borne from my labor." "We have," said Mrs. Lowe, "the best superintendent that could be selected for the place. He is kind, considerate, yet very positive and we make an effort to do our work as best we can. We want you to come out and see us and encourage our puills." The chairman then announced that Mrs. James Bond had arrived and with that her number would be the last set speech. Mrs. Bond was introduced, being naturally possessed with oratorical powers, soon had charge of her audience. She said that the chairman had stated that hers would be the last "set speech." She wished to correct this, stating that she had no "set speech" and that her "set speech." if she had any, would be like the little boy who was describing the eagle, when he said the eagle soared, and soared, and soared, and lit on daddy's woodpile, and that this was the way with her set speech. Continuing, Mrs. Bond said, "My remarks will be directed, if I have any at all, to the W. C. T. U. This work has been one of my hobbies for many years. This organization has birthed some of the most influential homes and suborganizations that exist to-day in the United States. We propose to keep them all going. We propose to eliminate intoxicating liquor from the homes of our women. It is our aim that every mother, every daughter, every sweetheart, in fact, every family, be total abstainers from intoxicating drink." Mrs. Bond made a very forcible talk. At the conclusion of this the chairman announced that it was not generally understood that men would be called upon to speak in the meeting, but that on seeing a Globe representative present, she felt that a few remarks from him would be timely. He responded only to assure the ladies present that because they were there, he was there, and that the Globe would herald their actions to all of its readers. Rev. Ellington spoke upon invitation, assuring the ladies that the First Baptist Church was always at their disposal whenever it could be given to a worthy cause. Collection was taken and something over $5.00 was raised. A part of this was to go for general expenses and the remainder to the Day Home Club. In the audience were seen some men—Dr. S. W. Crosthwait, Attorney T. G. Ewing, Bishop C. H. Phillips, Mr. Tappan, Prof. Burroughs, Mr. W. O. Tate and the Globe man. The meeting was so very interesting that it was fully 5:30 before the chairman announced that the benediction would be pronounced by Bishop C. H. Phillips, after Mrs. Napier had played "Old Hundred." The intentions of the meeting, while put forth by Mrs. Phillips, were not (Continued on Page 2.) JOHN A. BROWN DR. J. B. SINGLETON. DR. J. B. SINGLETON PRESIDENT. EGONOMIGAL STEAM LAUNDRY COMPANY REORGANIZES. PLANS ON FOOT TO INSTALL NEW MACHINERY—MR. A. G. PRICE GOES TO MEMPHIS. The members of the Economical Steam Laundry Company held a very important business meeting on Friday, March 15. This was a special meeting called for the purpose of organization. Mr. A. G. Price, who had been manager since the company opened its doors to do business, resigned recently and also put his stock on the market for sale. This had to be disposed of or taken up by the members of the company. It was not the desire of the members to do this but they preferred to interest a wide-awake business man in the concern. They were not long in finding a buyer in the person of Dr.J.B. Singleton, the popular dentist. He purchased the stock that belonged to Mr. Price and was elected president of the company. Prof. Geo. W. Washington was elected secretary; Mr. H. T. Green, Treasurer; and Mr. J. W. Bostick, manager In speaking to a Globe reporter Dr. Singleton said that it was the purpose of the company to give the Negroes of Nashville a first-class laundry. He said: "We do not expect that our people will bring us their work merely because we belong to the same race, but seeing the public insults flaunted in their faces daily, we feel it our duty to supply a remedy for this evil, it it is in our power to do so. We are therefore determined to have a laundry that will be second to none, and to furnish a service in the office and from wagons that will be in every way satisfactory. Some of my friends have asked if it were not risky to invest in this project, but with me it means more than an investment merely for profit in dollars and cents. I do not want my family to be subjected to insults and I feel that my fellow-brethren are of the same disposition, and if I can aid to relieve the laundry situation I will be proud of the opportunity." The Economical Steam Laundry Company has been a paying investment from the start, and while some claim that they have in the past had just cause for complaint about their work, they have implicit confidence in the new management. Mr. Bostick, the new manager, believes in doing everything in proper form, and the people believe he will maintain his record in his new field of labor. Mr. A. G. Price, the former manager, has taken charge of a laundry in Memphis, Tenn. His many friends wish him much success. Last Wednesday afternoon, March 20, at 5 o'clock, Mr. J. Blaine Boyd and Miss Mayme K. Clemmons joined hearts to plight their troth for life. As early as 4 o'clock the people began to fill the spacious auditorium of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, until at 5, the time for the ceremony to be performed, there was hardly an available seat. At 4:45 the musical numbers were rendered. They were a solo "Dearie," by Miss Louvenia McLemore, which was sweetly sung; the next a solo, "Till Death," by Miss Mary C. Clark, which was also sung with grace and sweetness. To the strains of Mendlessohn's wedding march, played by Miss Josephine Price, the bridal party entered the church, where, with the beautiful decorations, was seen a picture long to be remembered. The ushers, Messrs Fred J. Ewing, John H. Kelly, Jr., John Flemings and James Hurt who entered the church in couples, marching down the two main aisles, then came Miss Willie Andrews and Mr. Charles H. Kelly, one in each aisle, Miss Antionette Freeman and Mr. Samuel Carter marched next down the aisles; following Mr. Carter came the groom and his brother, Mr. Henry A. Boyd. When they had reached their places, the bride and Miss Daisy Moores entered the church and proceeded to the altar, where Rev. C. H. Clark performed the ceremony. The bridal party left the church, all going out the same aisle for the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Blaine Boyd, on Fourteenth avenue, North, where a reception was tendered them and their many friends, who went out to bid them Godspeed on the launching of their bark on the matrimonial sea. The bride, who is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Turner Clemmons, made a lovely picture in a handsome princess gown of Duchess satin with real lace trimmings and a train on which fell the veil she wore. She carried a large bouquet of bride's roses. Misses Andrews, Freeman and Moores were all beautifully attired in white dresses of silk, and carried large bouquets of carnations. Mr. J. Blaine Boyd, who is the second son of Dr. and Mrs. R. H. Boyd of Second avenue, North, was attired as the other young men, in the regulation evening dress. All wore in their coat lapels a white carnation. Many present, handsome, expensive and useful, were received. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd will reside at 150' Fourteenth avenue, North. The event was conceded to have been one of the prettiest weddings ever seen in Nashville. There will be a rally at Brader Chapel M. E. Church, Georgia street East Nashville, on Sunday, March 24 Sunday school services will be held at 9:30. At 11 o'clock there will be preaching by Dr. E. W. S. Hammond Dean of Walden University; at 3 p.m., preaching by Rev. I. J. Edwards of Salem A. M. E. Church, and Rev. T. J. Goodall, of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville. The choir of the First Baptist Church will furnish music at this hour. The Epworth League services will be held at 7, and at night there will be preaching by the pastor. BOYD-CLEMMONS. BRADEN CHAPEL. No.11. GALVESTON NEWS, A TEXAS PAPER, TRIED TO "MAKE GOOD" AGAINST NEGRO SOLDIERS IN THE BROWNVILLE AFFAIR BY A HATCHED UP CONFESSION—ITS HAND WAS CALLED AND IT DID NOT EVEN HOLD A PAIR OF DEUCES. Those who wish to impress the world that the Negro soldiers massa- ried the citizens of Brownsville, Tex., are in desperate straits. There has been so much gushing and flowing from every quarter of the country that the Negro soldiers did raid that Texas town, that every conceivable effort is being put forth to substantiate what has been said with so much inflamma- tory vehement. The Galveston News, Monday, March 18, came strutting forth in faming headlines with a great confession from one W. D. Gray, one of the discharged men of the 25th Infantry. The News yelled out all has been made plain, everything has been cleared up about the "Brownsville raid" by "the confession." That was silly spoutings for a big daily paper; it allowed itself to be trapped by an overzealous reporter, and itself lacking in moral stamina to resist the tempting morsel of dripping sensationalism. It is plain that it had caught a spoonful of smoke from the fact that before the day had run its course, and when it was apparent that the editor of the News would be yanked before the Investigating Committee of the affair at Washington, D. C., there was but little time spent in knocking that 'confession' of its pedestal. Retraction, recantation, retrenchment, retreating were the order of the day and followed the publication of that 'confession' in quick and rapid succession, when it was seen that it had been viewed seriously. Though no sane person gave it the cast credence, yet it would be used to show what desperate quarters those who wished to malign the Negro soldier were in. The News readily recognized that its trumped up confession was a dangerous boomerang, which would return and torment it; so it made haste to get out of the way. Oh, that the News will have sense enough to see itself as the public sees it—on an inglorious run. That Texas paper has placed itself in a ridiculous light, and with mollie-cotton-tale instinct took to the tail timber instanter. That redoubtable, earnest statesman, Senator Foraker, of Ohio, who is seeking the truth and only the truth, was preparing to delve one pace below that "confession" and blow it at the moon. He was fixing his coup in the form of a subpoena of the editor of Galveston News, but that was obviated by a dispatch announcing the "W. D. Gray Confession" a fake. The News fell completely down, when it saw the returning boomerang. The tribute offered to the fearless investigator, John B. Foraker, who is working not only in the interest of truth with reference to the Negro, but of his own race as well, is the thanks of the entire Negro race. There is nothing about his method of procedure that indicates any particular regard for the Negro other than that of wanting to see the soldiers in this affair, which has created such a great stir, have citizens' rights. Senator Foraker has more practical notions of such phrases as "square deal," "door of hope," "rather all men up than some men down," etc., than those who coin such phrases without any particular sincerity other than to attach the public ear and through ticking its aesthetic sense accomplish their own ambitious schemes. Words, coming from however high a source, which burst in our faces, leaving us nothing, are hollow mockery. The world knows and sees what subterfuges are being resorted to, to fasten that Brownsville affair on the Negro soldiers. The howlers are at their wits end as evinced by the "confession" by the News and many other things hatched up but a little less sensational, though just as false.

THE BROWNSVILLE INVESTIGATION. Interest was revived in the Senate Committee's investigation of the shooting up of Brownsville, by a report sent out from Galveston, Tex., that one of the discharged men had confessed that he participated in the raid and implicated several other members of Company B, to which he claimed to have belonged. An investigation of the report showed that it was simply a newspaper fake worked up by a reporter on one of the Galveston papers. The man charged with making the confession was not one of the discharged soldiers, nor had he ever been in the military service of the United States. The investigation at Washington and the court-martial of Maj. Penrose which is being held at San Antonio, Texas, have not brought any reliable evidence so far that would justify the extraordinary punishment inflicted upon soldiers by President Roosevelt. But, on the contrary, most of the testimony has been very favorable to the discharged men, while the citizens of Brownsville have been put in the light of hating the Negro soldiers to such an extent that they were ready to adopt any method to be rid of their presence. The soldiers, it has been shown, were considered as a natural prey for the police. The white infantrymen who preceded the discharged black battalion, had frequent clashes with the civil officers over gambling games. If a soldier won from one of these "greaser" policemen, he seldom enjoyed the fruits of his luck, for more often than otherwise he was beaten over the head with the butt of a revolver and then arrested. One soldier was murdered, and it is said that though the slayer never left the town he was not even arrested. What the outcome of the Senate Committee of Investigation will be cannot be safely predicted at this time, for the greater part of the evidence taken so far is similar to that upon which Roosevelt based his famous order of discharge without honor—ex parte. But one thing is certain, Brownsville's reputation as a city composed of high-class citizens is considerably smirched. A COLORED BOY'S SUCCESS. It is a source of pride to hear of the success of the young men of our race when brought in competition with the members of the other race. It is especially gratifying to hear of the success of Alain LeRoy Locke, of Philadelphia, in the competition for a THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. MARCH 22. 1907. Rhodes scholarship at Oxford University, one of, if not the leading educational institution of the world. Concerning the appointment of Locke the Washington Post says in a Philadelphia special: The Rhodes scholarship of the State of Pennsylvania this year has been awarded to a colored man. He is Alain Le Roy Locke, 712 South 12th street, this city, a senior at Harvard University. In the provisions of the will of the late Cecil Rhodes, it is stated that color or religion shall make no difference in the selection of the candidate, and Locke was chosen on his merits. There were five who passd the examinations which were held at Lafayette College on the 17th and 18th of January, and of these Locke was deemed the best fitted to receive the award. Th scholarship provides for a three years' course at Oxford University, $1,500 a year being its value. Locke will be the first colored man to receive one of the American Rhodes scholarships. The new Rhodes scholar is 21 years old. He was born in this city and was educated here. He entered Harvard University in the fall of 1904. From Harvard he will be graduated next June, having completed the regular four years' course in three years. The qualifying examinations were taken by some fifty candidates. To be eligible for the examinations the candidates are required to have reached, before going into residence, at last the end of their sophomore year at a recognized degree-granting university or college. The examinations are a severe test, the candidate's knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, Greek, and Latin being learned. Five of the candidates passed the last examination. From these five it was for the selection committee to decide who should receive the scholarship. The candidates appeared before the committee and their personal qualifications were inquired into. Character and manliness are as important qualifications as scholarship, and a preference is give into those who are popular with their fellow-students and have taken an active part in athletic sports. VARDAMAN'S CANDIDACY. It seems next to the impossible to harmonize Gov. Vardaman with the federal ownership of all the railroads, but such is the fight he is making in his effort to beat John Sharp Williams for the senatorial nomination in Mississippi. His highly advertised antipathy for the Negro which has stood him so well in all his political battles thus far would naturally lead one to expect that no other man in public life from the South—not even excepting the Hon. Benjamin Ryan Tillman of South Carolina—would so violently oppose the railroad idea advanced by Mr. Bryan upon his return from his trip around the world. But Vardaman favors it. Evidently, with the governor of Mississippi the office is the main thing and he is willing to go almost any length in his campaign pledges to secure votes. This has been clearly demonstrated by his plea that the taxes of the state be prorated for educational purposes between the races in accordance to the amount paid by each into the state Treasury and his advocacy of the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. But why should he favor the governmental ownership of railroads? We cannot conceive that such a program would meet the approval of the white voters of his state. For under the general government the "jim crow" car would be compelled to go and color would be no bar to holding positions such as engineers and conductors. It would appear that the long-haired individual who occupies the position of Chief Executive of the State in Mississippi is playing for the support of that element in the democratic party which is enamored with William Jennings Bryan, on this question just as he uses the repeal of the war amendments—an impossible thing—to capture the class familiarly known as "hill billies." It seems strange though that he should use a plank in his platform which is liable to act as a boomerang that would put a quietus on his race problem enunciations—a plank that could be used as easily to work to his own discomfort. Unless our opinion of the man is wrong, he will soon find, like his illustrious leader, some way to modify his governmental ownership theory. The Penrose court-martial has its humorous side. Col. McDonald who "is so brave that he would not hesitate to charge hell with one bucket of water," was so wrought up over being called a "contemptible coward" by Penrose that he went post-haste from Austin, Tex., to San Antonio and then, having reached San Antonio, turned right around and went back to Austin. McDonald is a regular old Bob Acres. The attorneys for Dr. Feist have asked for a new trial. One of their allegations in the writ they filed last Saturday is that the jurors were supplied with four quarts of whisky daily during the trial. The jurymen, if the allegations be true, certainly love booze. They must be ardent prohibitionists who are trying to destroy all the fire-water in Nashville. The season is here when the Most High Potentates, Most Excellent Czars, Chief Muck-a-Mucks and their staffs will array themselves in all the finery of their great offices and march through the streets to hear annual sermons. It is a great thing to be an officer in a lodge this time of year. We extend our sincerest congratulations to Mr. James G. Blaine Boyd, the affable member of the Globe's staff, who took unto himself a wife this week. We hope that his wedded life will prove as happy as the wedding ceremony was beautiful. After holding up for a few weeks, the lynching fever has broken out again. Monroe, La., and a little twoby-four place in Arkansas had a triple and double lynching respectively this week. At the latter place the victims were women. It is a source of regret to the newsfraternity that Col. E. E. Cooper, the veteran newspaper man has been cut off from his berth in the Census Department at Washington. We hope he will get something better. If there is a city in the country that has nastier water or streets containing more dust than Nashville, we would like to hear its name. The concert to the Tennessee Legislature given by Fisk University came dangerously near being a "jim crow" affair. A DESERVING PROMOTION. Nashville has lost one of its enterprising young men in the person of Mr. Arthur G. Price. Mr. Price after being besieged with flattering offers from several firms in the State, was persuaded to accept a position as manager of the People's Steam Laundry in Memphis, Tenn. Mr. Price began with the Economical Steam Laundry in this city about six years ago. Although a young man, he worked earnestly, diligently and untiringly until he built up the trade of this institution to be a paying investment. He was well and favorably known among all classes. Only recently Mr. Price decided to accept this position. After he had gone to Memphis and investigated the prospects he decided at once that he would better himself by going to a city where there seemed to be a greater possibility for the Negro in that line of work. Then, too, the proprietors of the People's Steam Laundry at Memphis had invested a large amount in up-to-date machinery and were in a position to compete with any institution of the kind in that city, Memphis, of course, has about 50,000 Negroes and a large per cent. of these patronize the People's Steam Laundry. They were suffering for a competent manager. Thus it was left for Nashville to furnish the long-felt want to the "City on the Bluff." It is with much regret to Mr. Price's friends that he must be spared from among them, but they are all joined in a hearty good wish for his success Fully twenty young people spent the evening with Mr. and Mrs. Price be fore train time making the last hour in his home city very pleasant.

Boyd last Friday evening, March 15. It was Dr. Boyd's sixty-first birthday, so his children in Nashville arranged a 6 o'clock dinner in his honor much to his surprise. Mr. A. T. Landers was the only guest outside of the family present. NEW ORDER FROM WASHINGTON. There has been a new order from the Postmaster General to take effect in April.

B, Ken. nedy, the livery stable man on Third avenue, North, was: driving home, he had possibly the narrowest escape from being instantly killed that has ever come to a young man within recent years. But being naturally cool and deliberate, and having at all times presence of mind, especially with wild horses, he saved his life ‘Had it been otherwise, he would have i a possibly been sleeping beneath the sod. The accident, as told by Mr. Kennedy, wae that he was going to his home on the Hyde's Ferry Road, just across the river bridge, about 9:30 p, m., and was driving “Ed,” the speedy Kentuckian, who was going at a lively clip when just before reach- ing the bridge, he saw two lights in front of him which he thought were two men walking with lanterns, hence he made no effort to further detect the object. He drove on until he ran face to face with a massive rock crusher, being drawn by a team driven by two men, It was dark and had been rain: ing and the roads were bad. They came face to face with each other near the bridge where the road is too narrow for one to pass the other, and where a forty-foot bluff js on each side of the road, without any protection to keep pedestrians or ve- hicles from heing thrown off and crushed below. His horse became frightened, halted suddenly, reared up in his fright and attempted to fall backward on the buggy. Mr, Ken- nedy, with coolness and presence of mind out of the buggy just as the ho} Y cos vehicle plunged down forty} below to the river bottom, ‘Mr. Yéeunedy concluded at once that the horse was dead and the vehicle smashed, but decided to go and pos- sibly pick up the harness and frag- ments of buggy. So with the two gen- tlemen he descended the bluff and saw the horse lying in th mud, Upon their approach the horse jumped up and ran, leaving the harness and buggy. ‘The buggy, without », broken spoke or shaft, was removed and taken to the road again. After vorking about an hour and a half they succeeded in catching and hitching the horse to the buggy, and Mr. Kennedy drove home, reaching there before 12. Noth. ing short of a miracle could have saved both man and horse from in. stant death, eee at BOWLING GREEN. KY. Notrec. Mrs. R. Mitchell left last Monday evening for Chicago to attend the fu- neral of her father, Mr. Leech, who died on March 18th, Mr. Leech was formerly of Paducah, Ky., where he has left a host of friends, who will sympathize with the bereaved family.

It has just been learned that the Educational Board of the National Baptist Convention has been called to meet in Nashville, Tenn., on May 17. The purpose of this meeting, as stated by the president, Rev, M. W. Gilbert, of New York City, is to take under ad- visement the election of a secretary, or to have some expression from the present secretary, Rev. David Abner, Jr., of Texas, as to whether he intends to serve or not. It will be remem- bered that an article appeared in the columns of the Globe soon after the National Convention, that the Nation- al Baptist Theological Seminary would be located in Nashville. It was ex- pected that the Educational Board would begin work at once raising funds for the erection of this great school; but as yet nothing in a sub- stantial way has been done towards the opening of the school, notwith- standing the Home Mission Society, of New York, had agreed to supple ment a certain amount to be raised through the Educational Board, That Nashville needs all the schools that can be located here is not denied, It is a drawing force as an educational center from the fact tiat some of the early schools were located in this city soon after the Emancipation, At the meeting of the Educational Board it is expected that at least thirty of the most prominent ministers of the Bap- tist denomination will be present, as it is learned the board constitutes a tocal board from the state of Tennes- see, as Well as a national board, with a member from each state in the Union, Dr, Gilbert, the chairman of he Educational Board proper, has is- sued the call for this meeting. Just what action will be taken is not known, but it is known that the new secretary that was elected to take the Jace of Prof, Jno, R, Wilson, who had headquarters in Nashville at one time, Si I 2, Blake, The OLD . f .

BLAKE, Jackson and Morrison Streets, is actively engaged iu school work again in Texas. It is said that he is president of a school at Conroe, Tex. ‘The course of the Baptists toward the establishment and erection of this much-needed theological seminary {s being watched with no little interest. Should they fail to do any substantial work to this end before the meeting of the next National Convention which is to be held in Washington, D. C., it is thought that a decided attack will be made upon the entire board by the delegates. It is conceded that there is but little time in which to do real work and that this little time is being hopelessly wasted. ec eoae MRS, BROUGHTON COMING HOME. _ Mrs. Virginia W. Broughton, prest- dent of the State W. C. T. U., will be in Nashville two Sundays during March. It is her intention while here to have two large rallies in the inter- est of the W. C. T. U. work and the coming National Convention. Of course Mrs. Broughton will go to Rome with the party of delegates that will sail in April, but it is her inten- tion before going abroad, to have all her plans laid for this coming con- vention, A very deserving honor has been conferred upon her in represent- ing the W. C, T. U, abroad. She will bear very becomingly the distinction of being the first Negro woman from Tennessee to have the privilege of such abroad. The state secretary of the W. ©, T. U. stated that several mass meetings were to be arranged at such churches as could be secured on Easter Sunday in the interest of this work. es ONLY COLORED GIRL IN CHORUS. It is learned from authorized sources that at the recent chorus of 149 voices, which was presented at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, only one colored girl was to be seen in the crowd. Notwithstanding there were possibly two-score worthy young girls from North and South at- tending this great Conservatory, the manager did not see the advantage yr could not feel sure that their voices would be an addition to the chorus. Nashville should feel honored that Miss Lady Emma Louise Phillips was the girl of color in the chorus, and it is said that she made good. Notwith- standing her short time in this Con- yervatory, she has become at once a favorite. ee oe LODGE DIRECTORY. GRAND LODGE K. OF P. 3. C—J. P. CRAWFORD, 706 Bass Street, Nashville, Tenn. G. V.

Justice of Peace for Davidson County, Tenn. NEGRO MASONS OF TENNESSEE. The Worshipful Grand Lodge of the Free, Ancient and Accepted Masons of the State of Tennessee has recently purchased a best if containing fort about three miles from the city on the Lebanon pike, for the Widows and Orphans Home. Their purpose is to es- 93c D. U. BURKE. tablish on this property a Widows and Orphans Home for the colored Masons. In connection with the home will be conducted schools, both literary and industrial. On Palm Sunday the ladies of the Order of the Eastern Star will hold services throughout the State and at the services special collections will be raised for the benefit of this home; it is expected that this female department will raise at least $2,000. On Easter Sunday the Knights Templars in connection will make special effort to raise a large sum also for this home. It is expected that the Templars throughout the State will raise $4,000. While this is a masonic home, it will be a benefit not only to the race, but to the city, State and to the public generally. We, therefore, call upon friends and the people to turn out with us on Palm Sunday at St. Paul A. M. E. Church at 2:00 o'clock p. m., and on Easter Sunday at Lea Avenue Christian Church, at 2 o'clock p. m., and assist in this laudable and Christian enterprise. Pure and undefiled religion before God is to help the widows in their affliction and train up the homeless and friendless orphans in the admonition of the Lord. A SWELL AFFAIR: The young men of the "Six Four Hundred Club," gave an enjoyable entertainment recently at the residence of the Misses Hargrave, 1106 Twelfth avenue, South, which was conceded to be one of the best of the season. The young men were attired in full dress, and the young ladies wore pretty evening dresses. The color scheme was red and white. Games and dancing were indulged in until a very late hour, after which a menu of several courses was served. Those present were Misses Estella Campbell, Mary Cheers, Cella Hendley, Sallie Duvall, Hattie Mullen, Robbie Overton, Mattie L. Overton, Sarah Garner, Matilda Hargrave, Maggie Hargrave, Messrs. A. W. Thompson, Milton. Darden, James Watson, Jeff Winston, Wymon Brady, Geo. Hicks, Levi Bradly, Robert Martin, Eugene Morton, Horace Harrison, Earl Sargent, Aaron Bradford, Odum Harris, Wm. Hargrave. SHELBYVILLE NOTES. Shelbyville has been made quite lively recently by a revival of interest in Pythianism. Dr. R. F. Boyd and Sir Knight N. N. Reynolds were in town last week and paid the heirs of a deceased Calanthean $100. A large public meeting was held in the Assembly Hall of the Turner Normal Institute. Dr. J. A. Jones acted as master of ceremonies. The visit of these two gentlemen has resulted in the organization of a strong Court of Calanthe and a Juvenile, besides the addition of a number of new men to the lodge. The Court consists of many of the leading women of the town. Great preparations are being made to observe the Pythians Thanksgiving day. Dr. J. A Jones will preach the sermon. The winter term of Turner Normal Institute closes this week. The faculty and students are busy preparing a very imposing and elaborate program to be rendered Friday night, the 22nd. The school is enjoying a season of great prosperity this year. Palm Sunday will be observed by the Masonics and the Eastern Star. Services will be held at the A. M. E. Church. The Immaculates are getting busy about the celebration of Easter. They are quite numerous here. Rev. H. H. Hinton, pastor of the M. E. Church, is visiting in Kentucky. Rumor has it that he may emigrate to that state. PRINCE HERRMAN.
