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. POLICE HEADQUARTERS WERE NOTIFIED BY PHONE AND IN PERSON—"ARE THEY WHITE MEN?"—"DISTURBERS OF THE PEACE," WAS THE REPLY—THAT WAS SIGNIFICANT AND NO ARREST WAS MADE. Two semi-drunken white rowdies held forth for some considerable time in Western style on Locust street, between Second and Third avenues, Wednesday morning, May 8. The police department was notified several times by phone of the disorderly conduct of the pseudo-deperadoes, but no officers showed up; then a party went in person and reported the situation. The officer at the police station to whom the matter was reported asked, "Are they white men?" Being informed that they were disturbers, he took it for granted that they were white men imposing on Negroes only, and that was not worth any consideration, as must be judged from the fact that no officer ever came. The rowdies, seeing that their fun and bullyism were not likely to be interfered with by the police, continued to terrorize the street. Finally they carried the thing too far and interfered with a colored youth some years the junior of the rowdies. Another colored youth came to the assistance of the first and the two colored youths opened up an artillery of stones on the two white bullies, infilating them, and so hot and rapid were the fire that the bullies were not allowed to retreat in order; no, they stood not on the order of going, but fled precipitately toward Third avenue. As they "skidooed" before that shower of rapid fire artillery worked by the lads, everybody along the street, colored and white, gave the fleeing rowdies the horse laugh. For nearly an hour the rowdies staggered about the street brandishing their weapons and threatening peaceable and law-abiding citizens; one had an opened knife and the other a pint bottle loaded with "busshead" whiskey, which he ever and anon motioned in a manner as if he were going to throw it at some one who happened to inspire his displeasure. Many people were attracted by the antics of these two would be toughs, and they cleaned their heads and peered in every direction to see some officer heave into sight, coming to take the semi-inebriates in tow. But, alas! no officer came, and the job of ridding the vicinity of the presence of the bullies was left to the two colored lads who did it thoroughly. The vulgar conduct of the two bullies attempted on the premises of a reputable and respectable citizen and the belligerent attitude assumed by them when remonstrated with and put off, were reported at police station, both by phone and in person, but were ignored. Were these men stool pigeons? Were they playing an inspired role or "game?" Were theirs the minor part of a deeper drama? One thing stood out as singular in the whole affair and was witnessed by every looker-on, and that was this the men who had all along pretended to be reeling drunk, ran as steadily as men could have run when the lads got too hot for their longer tarry. Every class and condition of orderly citizens that have confidence in and rely on the proper authorities for protection against rowdyism should have it when they ask for it, without that protection or non-protection being predicated upon the color of the perpetrator. When a complaint is made against a disturber of the peace, what has "Is he white or black" to do with the nature or quality of the complaint or crime? PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. That was a fine compliment paid this school by Mrs. D. J. Jarrett in the Evening Banner of last Monday. Mrs. Jarrett is the Chairman of the W. C. T. U. organization of Davidson County and the editor of the W. C. T. U. column in the Nashville Banner. In com NASHVILLE. TENN., FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1907. pany with Mrs. Helen D. Harford, a woman of national reputation and a noted speaker in the Temperance cause, these two estimable women visited our school last Monday. Mrs. Harford made an eloquent address to the students in which she appealed to them to avoid whisky and tobacco in every form. The quotation from the Banner is as follows: "This school for the Negro population of the city is surely deserving of much praise. As the visitors were invited in and seated on the platform of the second floor, there was a manner and air of politeness about the entire school that was noticeable. They greeted us with the song 'Old Kentucky Home,' and the melody so filled the heart as to bring tears to the eye." This testimony in regard to politeness is in direct contrast to the preachments of a good many Southern statesmen(?), that education tends to make the Negro insolent. Dr. F. G. Smith, the principal, has accepted an invitation to deliver the annual address to the graduating class of the Colored High School of Columbia, Tenn., on Friday night, May 24. He will speak on the subject, "Education as related to Success and Prosperity." Prof. W. E. Newsom, principal of Wayman Institute at Harrodsburg, Ky., visited the school on Wednesday. The teachers have entered upon their last course of manual training instruction, and will complete the work for this year in three more lessons. The lady teachers are now taking sewing under Miss Elizabeth Randals, and the male teachers have had their first lesson in mechanical drawing, under Mr. Eugene Gillihan. The work has proved very helpful, but the work has been so taxing and the weather so unfit for the best effort, that teachers will give a sigh of relief when it is all over. BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS TO CELEBRATE CHILDREN'S DAY. Efforts are now being out on foot to bring the twenty-five Baptist churches in Nashville all of which have an organized Sunday school at their churches, together in one grand rally on Children's Day, which has been set for the second Sunday in June, which is June 9. A Globe representative in speaking to one of the prompters of this undertaking, learned that it is their plan to have the celebration of Children's Day at beautiful Greenwood Park. The Sunday school superintendents of every Baptist Sunday school in the city have been urged to meet in the chapel of the National Baptist Publishing Board. Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, May 12. At this meetings plans will be laid out for the celebration. Each Sunday school will be urged to charter a special car and go out to Greenwood under its own banner. Children's Day is celebrated by all denominational noise that the other denomitions, but the Baptists have made more inations recently, and they propose this year to demonstrate their strength. Fully 5,000 children are expected to march under the various banners from the car line to Greenwood Park. A magnificent banner will be presented by the Publishing Board to the Sunday School having the best report. The movement will be organized into a kind of city union movement and vigorously pushed until the second Sunday in June. It is learned that Mr. Henry A. Boyd, who is the assistant secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, is at the head of the movement. He has issued a call for a meeting of Sunday school superintendents. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS. Messrs. Nace Dixon, W. H. Keesee, V. S. Dabney, of Clarksville, Tenn.; H. N. O, Terry, of Florence, Ala.; C. L. Crowder, of Lebanon, Tenn.; J. O. Chafin, of Hopkinsville, Ky.; and D. L. White, of Pulaski, Tenn., were visitors in the city in the attendance of the Funeral Directors' and Embalmers' Association of Tennesse, which held its meeting at the National Casket Company Building and the Chamber of Commerce. The Association began its session May 7, lasting through May 10. These gentlemen were the guests of Elder Preston Taylor last Thursday evening and after the meeting adjourned he carried them out for a drive for the remainder of the day to Greenwood Park and Greenwood Cemetery, where each gentleman expressed himself as being delighted in seeing such beautiful places, though in despite of the rain they were highly pleased with their visit to the Cemetery and Park as well as the long drive. Elder Taylor invited the gentlemen to make us a special visit to Nashville later on in the summer when the Park will be in full bloom. DECORATIONS OF THE MANY BOOTHS AS WELL AS THE LARGE AUDITORIUM WERE BEAUTIFUL—RARE THINGS ON EXHIBITION—SUPPLY OF EATABLES WAS EXHAUSTED EACH NIGHT. For twenty years, or in other words, since the organization of Mt. Olive Baptist Church in 1887, it has been the custom to have during the month of May, a spring festival. This has been kept up regularly without ceasing. The church under the former pastor commemorated these customs, and for the past thirteen years, since Dr. Clark has been pastor, they have been kept up with the same regularity. The festival this year is under the able management of Mr. William Young, who is an ardent worker in the church identifying himself with every movement that will in any way benefit the church spiritually or financially. He organized the church into a working committee of 150 and subdivided this committee into various other committees. The opening of the festival Monday night was under the most promising circumstances. The weather was beautiful and hundreds of friends and members took advantage to be present. The basement or the Sunday school room was converted into a spacious hall. All of the seats were removed and over twenty booths were built. These were beautifully decorated and had attending them proficient workers. The festival opened with a special program. The chorus "Awake, O Zion," was participated in by the two choirs (senior and junior) consisting of fifty voices. Prayer was offered by Dr. C. H. Clark; an oration, "Home, Sweet Home," by A. C. Sloan; violin solo by Harrison Drake; closing song by the combined choirs, with meriment and fun throughout the evening, marked the first night's proceedings. The attendance was between 250 and 300. The second night of the spring festival proved as attractive to the masses as did the opening night. The crowds came from all parts of the city. Every booth in the church was well patronized. One of the most unique booths in the festival was that of the Globe Publishing Company. It is said to be one of the first instances in the history of a spring festival where a newspaper is enterprising enough to be represented where the people could know and see for themselves that the weekly journals have an interest in their doings. There was no special program on the second night, but the entire evening was given over to making new friends and greeting old ones. Eatables of all kinds were to be had at the tables. The novelty, tinware and soft drink counters were liberally patronized. The register of names of visitors to the festival continued with success. It is estimated that over 400 people passed in the door on the second night. (Continued on Page Four.) CALL FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL SUP PERINTENDENTS. The superintendents of all Sunday schools in the city of Nashville are respectfully urged to meet in the chapel of the National Baptist Publishing Board, corner North Market and Locust streets, on Sunday at 3 p.m. May 12, for the purpose of considering plans to celebrate in union Children's Day, which is the second Sunday in June, being the 9th day. Superintendents who cannot attend will please send a representative to this meeting. HENRY A. BOYD, Assistant Secretary Publishing Board. NEGRO INVENTS BUTTING POST. Special to the Globe. Dickson Tenn.—The town of Dickson has an inventor, Henry Gray by name, who promises great achievements in the inventive field. Mr. Gray is an employee of the N. C. & St. L. Railroad at this place and for a year or more he has been at work carrying his invention of a car stop, or butting post, for use of railroads in stopping cars at the end of sidetracks, etc., to completion. The mold has been submitted to a number of expert railroad men and all pronounced it the most available thing of the kind they have ever seen. It is constructed of wood and iron, and will resist the heaviest force that can possibly be put against it, having a resisting power of many tons weight. A patent has been applied for. The Negro is taking his place by the side of the leading inventors of the times, and is learning to reap the benefits from his genius. The following special to one of the daily papers, says in relation to the matter: "Henry Cray, the colored inventor of Dickson, who has invented a railway butting post, mention of which was recently made in the Banner, has been offered a handsome little fortune for his invention, but so far has accepted no offer, preferring to patent the machine and then risk it upon its merits. This is truly a wonderful invention, and yet so simple in construction that after seeing it everyone is constrained to ask why he himself had not thought of it. The appliance, which is claimed to stop cars at the terminus of railroad tracks, or wherever a car-stop is needed, has a resisting power of hundreds of tons, and yet its recoil is so complete that with whatever force a car may be thrown against it, the latter stands no chance of injury. It is estimated that its economical saving to a line of read in one year would be thousands of dollars in the protection of cars." L. & N. WILL HONOR A WORTHY MAN. A barbecue is being planned by the local officials of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in honor of Mr. Matt White a faithful and efficient employee of the road, who will round out his half century of service with that company on June 8. Mr. R. H. Bransford, Soliciting Agent of the L. & N., is Chairman of the Committee on Arrangements, and will be assisted by Messrs. Lee Baskette, of the Cumberland Gap Despatch, and S. M. Price. Addresses will probably be made by Maj. James Geddes, Maj. E. B. Stahman, Maj. E. C. Lewis and Mr. C. H. Sanders of this city and Mr. W. H. Tinsley, of Louisville. The Fisk Glee Club will probably sing some old-fashioned songs, and altogether the day will be one long to be remembered by faithful Mr. White, who has nursed the L. & N. from its birth until the present time, having been a member of the first track laying gang that left Nashville. Invitations will be issued from the local office to all the officers and old employees of the company, and arrangements are being made for one of the largest gatherings of L. & N. railroad men that has been seen in Nashville for some time. Mr. White has served under the following local agents: Messrs. John S Bransford, E. B. Stahman, C. H. Sanders, W. T. Peyton and C. W. Toliver, the present agent, in whose administration he is a very important employee. He accepted service under Maj. Geddes in June, 1857, at which time Maj. Geddes, now Assistant General Manager of the L. & N., was a civil engineer in charge of construction. He has proved one among the many faithful, honest, upright and truthful employees of the road, and looks forward with a great deal of pleasure to the barbecue that is being planned for him at Watkins Park on June 8. Mr. White said to a Globe representative that he had seen several men rise from humble to the highest in the railroad service, but he had never gotten higher than the top of a box car. But despite this he has been true to every trust and well merits every honor that can be shown him. TENNESSEE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL NOTES. The boys have been quite busy for the last week, breaking rock. George Morris, our cook, was made happy by a visit from his father from Chattanooga. We greatly enjoyed a visit last week from Miss Maggie Hamm, of Antioch, Mrs. Payton's sister. H. Howlett, of Clarksville, paid us a visit this week, also Dr. H. T. Noel and wife. Our pastor, Rev. Mr. Lusk, opened the doors of the church Sunday and twenty-five of the children joined. Miss Annie Peyton, the matron of the girls' department, was glad to see Mrs. Amanda Frilerson and daughter Lula this week. Mr. and J. B. Peyton, both say the Globe is a great paper. All the boys like it very much. No.18. FROM THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON TO THE CLOSING COLLEGE EXERCISES THURSDAY MORNING, EVERY PROGRAMME WAS CARRIED OUT IN A MANNER WHICH WAS PRAISEWORTHY AND COMMENDABLE. The season for the closing of schools, which is looked forward to with eagerness filled with expectations by the sweet girl graduate, the ambitious young men, dreaming of how they will outstrip Plato, Cicero and Demosthenes on the platform, and parents happy over the prospects of how their children will appear on the stage ready for life's turmoil and battle, has come; and from now on until the middle of June there will be held in rapid succession one commencement exercise after another. The forty-first annual commencement exercise of the literary, theological and industrial department of Walden University was held under favorable circumstances. The Baccalaureate sermon on Sunday marked the opening. The entire week up to Thursday has been spent in profitable and enjoyable exercises. The graduating exercises of the English department took place on Monday, May 6, 7:30 p. m., in the Meharry Auditorium. A larger crowd than usual was present. The program was as follows: Processional March was played by Prof. E. D. Johnson. Chorus—"Day by Day".....Fearis Eighth Grade Singing Class Invocation ......

The exercises took place in the Meharry Auditorium. By 7:30 every available seat in the auditorium was taken and by 8 o'clock chairs filled all the aisles. By the time the processional march was played, standing room was a thing of the past. After the march, President Kumler offered a fervent prayer. A piano duet, "Sakontola" by Bendel was gracefully rendered by Misses Beatrice Stewart and Lela Porter. The salutatory address, "The Negro in Literature," by Miss Johnnie Marie Denny, was given close attention: She is an excellent speaker, and had a voice suitable for the occasion. The oration, "The Patriotism of Peace," by John Howard McMorris, was the treat of the evening. He showed exceptional oratorical powers, rendering his piece in a most pleasing manner. He captured the audience, which showed its high regard by the PIANOS FOR SALE BEAUTIFUL STYLES IN MANY GRADES.

The sextette, "The Bird at Sea," by Smart, was sung by Misses Ewing, Lewis, Porter, Field, Stewart and Lewis, and was another pleasing number on the program. They were lustily applauded, which continued until they responded to an encore by singing a very witty selection. The recitation, "The Inventor's Wife," by Miss Louise Lee Harris, was amusing as well as entertaining. An oration, "The American Contributions to Civilization," by Charles Henry Love, was the next on program. An instrumental duet substituted another number on the program. "Rub or Rust," was the subject of an essay well-prepared and beautifully rendered by Miss Mary Eddie Kinchelow. After this, the valedictorian, a tall, imposing young man, appeared and spoke on "The Relation of Literature to Life." He was Mr. James Thomas Austian West, and was applauded the moment he appeared, the applause continuing for some time. The last selection was a lullaby by the Wheeler-Holder Glee Club, who sang the first selection and received an encore; appearing for the second time, they made the usual deep impression Wednesday morning Rev. Anderson was present at the chapel exercises at 8:45, and made a timely and appropriate address. PRINTING DEPARTMENT.

I consider it a great honor indeed that in a city containing as large a number of men of our race who have been more successful in the printing business than perhaps in any other city of America, some of whom possess national reputations on account of their oratorical abilities, that I have been selected to deliver the address to the graduates of this, the first class ever sent forth with certificates by the printing department of Walden University. I appreciate to the fullest extent the honor which you have conferred upon me; and can but feel the responsibilities incumbent upon me in accepting the invitation. and print conta intell of th This occasion, it seems to me, will appear to the future students of this department and historians of this great institution which has done so much in providing for our race physicians, dentists, teachers, preschers, musicians, and men and women who have engaged in business, as one of the beacon lights of its great career. As long as this institution stands, the names of these young men who, to-day, go forth with the blessings of their instructors and the best wishes of the whole faculty and their friends for their success in life, will be linked indissolubly with this department as its first graduates. As this occasion is unique in the history of Walden University, so it is in my own career; for it is the first time that I have had the pleasure—nay, I should say "horror"—of breaking into the ranks of so-called commencement orators. I feel justified in using the word "horror" when I think that I, a mere student of "the art preservative of all arts" am assigned the task of delivering an address to young men who have drunk so deeply from the fountain of knowledge, supplied in a never-ending stream, as it were, from the teachings of Gutenberg, Jenson, Franklin and Underwood and your own Professors Hawkins. I fear that whatever I might say will prove merely superfluous, but, since I am facing the problems that daily confront one in the school of experience, questions which you will meet if you follow your chosen profession, and, like you, am working for the advancement of my race; I speak to you, as it is given me to see, in the future of the Negro in printing. In the onward march of civilization from the feudalism of the medieval ages, when learning was confined to the aristocratic and religious classes, to the present, when enlightenment is almost universal, no other invention has been such a contributing factor for the good of humanity as has that of printing. It has been an assisting force in discovery, has preserved inventions, and has been the medium of promulgating doctrines that have revolutionized the affairs of the inhabitants of this mundane sphere. Columbus and the explorers who followed in his footsteps received their inspiration from the printed page. Later, England, in her fight for the establishment of those principles of freedom upon which this government of ours is founded, was impelled by the broadsides which mysteriously appeared attacking the errors of the day. In the case of the American Negro, what greater example of the potency of printing can be given than that of Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which stirred the whole continent and awakened the people to the inhumanities of slavery? In Russia to-day we see a revolution, the ultimate outcome of which can only be greater human liberties, fostered and augmented by this self-same invention—printing. If printing has been the open sesame by which men of intellect, the master minds of other races, have worked great reforms; then what might not this selfsame art hold in store for us, the members of the Negro race? The exact origin of printing, like that of many other inventions or world movements that have wrought good, is shrouded in mystery. It is claimed by the Germans that a man named Gutenberg is the father of the art. The Dutch, with equal assurance and equal proof, give the same credit to a member of their race named Coster. As to which of these men the honor really belongs, we do not know. Both lived about the same time and both worked at the art in different cities at about the same time. This however, we do know, the principles which one or both of the men perfected, the basic principle, had been used by the Chinese and other races centuries before either was born. We know further that to these men tribute must be paid undoubtedly for the impetus which they gave to the study and practice of the trade by which was gained for it in a few years, votaries in all the nations of Europe. They were the pioneers. Their disciples from that day to the present have labored with an ingenuity worthy the great calling to so improve the facilities, cheapen the cost of the finished product as to make possible the universal dessemination of knowledge. But the growth of printing has not been like that of the mushroom. For almost four hundred years after Gutenberg gave to the world the first book bearing the name of the printer and the year of the printing, the product of the printing plant was distributed almost exclusively among the rich, the method of printing having been different only in a few particulars from the crude processes used by the master of mainz. The real revolution in the art was accomplished in 1804, when steam was first used as a motive power for running printing presses. It was then, so far as the mechanical devises used for the cheapening of the output and the broadening of the scope of the trade, that printing received its baptism of brains and really became an art. Following the departure from the old methods, inventions came thick and fast. So fast that the modern printing plant is an institution that contains machines of almost human intelligence. And, from the England of the restoration, in which by legal statutes only twenty printers were allowed to practice the art, we have advanced so far that in America in 1900, a so-called backward race, according to the census reports, 1650 men and women following the profession. This, I might add, understates rather than exaggerates the facts as to the number of Negroes engaged in printing. But why dwell on the past? I need not recount in detail the history of the art for the questions which confront you, which should demand your attention are of the present. The questions which most vitally concern you and me as printers are: "What has the Negro done in this field of labor?" What is he doing?" "What are his prospects?" The Negro, comparatively speaking, is a new factor in the great art of printing. His achievements, when compared with those of the great Caucasian race, have been infinitesimal. But, when we take into consideration that the white man has had the benefits of civilization for thousands of years, while the Negro—the American Negro—has been a student of the craft for less than a half century, that his clientele is—as the histories of nations are reckoned—just but yesterday emerged from slavery, the poorest of the poor, steeped in an ignorance that his masters had assiduously cultivated by means of legal statutes and the unwritten law of the plantation—the whip—I say, when we take into consideration the many disadvantages under which we have labored, the American Negro's advancement in the practice of "the art preservative of all arts" has been simply phenomenal. He has made no great invention to add lustre to his own name nor glory and honor to the race; but with faith in himself, love for the race and a firm belief in the brightness of the future, he has established in almost every city and hamlet an office or newspaper of some kind from which is promulgated the gospel of hope. The Negro is so recently from slavery that his past and present status in printing are so closely interwoven that in picturing the present we give the history of our race so far as regards the craft. Most of us are old enough to have first hand information of those men of the race, some of whom are still living, who first ventured into the printing or publishing business. As to the present, the outlook is, indeed, encouraging. Here in Nashville, we have much to be proud of. We see establishments that will compare favorably with those of any other race. In Jackson, Richmond, Va.; Charlotte, N. C.; Philadelphia, Pa.; Dallas, Tex., and many other places a like success can be noted. In Philadelphia, and Hopkinsville, Ky., we have our daily newspapers; in Boston, New York, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia, our magazines, and in Nashville one publishing house, owned, controlled and operated exclusively by Negroes, if we take into consideration the number of blacks compared to the number of whites south of the Mason and Dixon line, sends out more second-class matter annually than any white institution of its kind in the city. In this city and elsewhere books also are being published by Negroes. Weekly newspapers are being published in almost every hamlet, and some of these possess great merit. As I mention these enterprises I wish to call your attention especially to the fact that those who are succeeding in a majority of the instances cited are practical printers. As bright as the present is for those of our race engaged in the allied trades of printing, it is as nothing compared to future prospects. We have made wonderful strides, but what we have done is as insignificant in magnitude as was the opening session of what is now Walden University compared to the great session which is just coming to a close. The present is bright, but the future has a brightness which shines more and more unto the perfect day. I have mentioned briefly the varied publishing interests of the race. Curious as it may seem, though most of these enterprises have practical printers at the head, the actual mechanical work is done in printing offices run by white men. Many reasons are given why this is so, but the most potent, I think, is that the demand for competent workmen is in excess of the supply. The supply is increasing and so is the demand, and the demand will continue to grow. As to the future, Walden, Fisk, Howard, Tuskegee, Wilberforce and similar institutions, together with the public schools of the country, are almost daily turning out men and women with trained intellects who will not be content to be hewers of wood and drawers of water. Nor will they be satisfied to enter only one or two professions; but following where ever their judgment dictates is the best course, they will enter all the fields of business occupied by any other race. These men, these women, closely identified with the interests of the race—and they must be identified with the race if they hope to succeed—re-inforced by the influence which they will (Continued on Page Three.)

THE ANNIVERSARY OF SALEM CHURCH. Quite an enjoyable time was witnessed by the members and friends of Salem A. M. E. Church last Sunday. the feature of the day being the forty-second anniversary of the church. The church was artistically decorated with palms, ferns and flowers, and the programme given below was conducted during the day: At 6:30 o'clock the following candidates received the holy rites of baptism: Messrs. George Baskett, Foster Turner, Andrew Thomas, Isaac Stewart. Levy Cole, Eugene Davis, Walter Thomas, Scott, John Jefferson, Messrs. Josie Seay, Louisa Waike, Miss Annie May Stewart. At 11 o'clock an excellent sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Harding, of Third Avenue Baptist Church. At 3 o'clock Rev. Mr. Swift delivered an interesting sermon, which was followed by some choice selections from Mesdames Martha Turner, Ellen Gibbs and Messrs, Wallace Shelby, Marcus Raines, R. H. McGavock. At night the exercises and rally was closed by the presentation of prizes by the pastor, Rev. I. J. Edwards, to the most successful contestants in the rally, who were Mrs. Sallie Goodall, a silk waist, and Mrs. Louisa Walker, a handsome Bible. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY MAY 10, 1907 GRANDEST COMMENGEMENT AT WALDEN UNIVERSITY. GRANDEST COMMENGEMENT AT WALDEN UNIVERSITY. (Continued from Page Two.) wield upon the race, will demand daily newspapers in which current events will be chronicled as they appear to Negroes. The demand will be supplied by daily newspapers owned, controlled and operated by Negroes. In the realms of literature an enlightened populace having its surfeit of the fallacies and calumnies circulated under the guise of fiction, history, science, etc., by prejudiced authors will call for books and magazines, the product of the Negro's brain and skill. The call will be answered by publishing houses which will give employment to thousands of our race. In commercial printing it seems that I can see vista, so broad, glittering with so many possibilities, spreading before us that its very brilliance dazzles the imagination. Finally, when the Negro printer has met successfully all the demands of his own race and is able to compete in all branches of printing with his more favored brother, he will find under the theory that the fittest survive, the business of the world at his feet. His to possess, if he can do the work better and cheaper. Am I too optimistic? If any doubt the great possibilities, the great opportunities before the Negro, I would call his attention to the magnificent institution established by Bishop C. S. Smith, of the A. M. E. Church, and the work it is doing under Dr. Chappelle. Or better still the great plant which is a monument to another of our townsmen, the Rev. Dr. R. H. Boyd. Ten years ago this man arrived in our city with only a hand satchel and a large supply of determination as his only assets. Now he is at the head of an establishment which gives employment to hundreds of skilled workmen—the greatest plant of its kind owned and controlled by Negroes in the world. With such plants in our midst, with such men as an inspiration, with such achievements accomplished in such an incredible short space of time, ought we not be optimistic as to the future? To the members of the printing class, I would speak as a fellow-craftsman who has an ambition to be in the glorious future which lies open before us—a brother who has had some experience in the practical problems of our trade, a man whose business makes him a student of the affairs of to-day. In coming from this school you join with us in what is really the pioneer work of the race in the trade. You enter your chosen calling, paradoxical as it may seem, at an advantage, yet you are handicapped. The spirit of the age is centralization, the combining of the specialist in all allied trades to produce the one harmonious whole where the greatest results can be accomplished at the least expense. In no trade which I have observed (and I must confess that my range of observation has been limited) is the specialist so much in evidence as in that of printing. In the modern printing-office, the composing room, the press room and the bindery have dozens of specialists, each doing a different class of work, each only that class of work all the time. The average white youth entering an establishment as an apprentice immediately begins preparing himself for a specialist, learning only one branch of the work in one department of the plant. As a consequence, the horizon of his advancement is limited to that one department. But not so with you. Here in this university you are brought face to face with conditions as you will meet them in after life. You have been given the opportunity to grasp the fundamental principles of all departments of the craft. This advantage prepares you for higher things You will be handicapped, first of all, by the low wages you will receive if you enter an office as a journeyman. You will be barred from offices by the unions. If you establish an office, you will find that your greatest drawback will be the poverty of those from whom you must draw your patronage, and the need of machinery to meet the prices of your competitors. These hindrances often test the metal of most enthusiastic members of the craft. Don't be a quitter. Have faith in yourself; have faith in your trade. These disadvantages are disappearing. You are young, and if you love your trade and will put forth the proper effort to increase your own proficiency, you will be, to use a hunting phrase, "in at the death." In conclusion, let me say to you young men, that the problems before you as pioneers of this department are really and truly questions which will require constructive ability—to use Dr. Booker T. Washington's pet phrase. These will not be solved by your diploma, but by hard work. At times your work will not seem as happy as you once thought it would be; but I would advise you to stick to it and make your false hopes stepping stones for future achievements. Be not an iconoclast, one who destroys merely for the sake of destruction, nor an obstructionist, but bring with you into your future life the healthy desire to learn and the ambition to better your conditions. Always be the student; not the imiterator, but the adapter, the originator. Come to us with the de COMMUNION SETS.

The proceeds of the Board meeting, that will be held to-day, will possibly be given out later, but nothing can be said definite at this time. But it is said that some definite plans have been agreed upon for the erection of the buildings destroyed by fire, some time ago, as well as new ones. In fact, it is the intention, according to the new plans as being laid out, to make this one of the leading universities of the South. The handsome new rooms and Castle Hall of the Twentieth Century Lodge. No. 15 Knights of Pythias, were opened for the first time last Monday night for lodge services and inspection. Almost the entire membership was present and there was much enthusiasm manifested. Beside the beautiful stations, made by Mr. A. W. Roberts, other improvements have been added and the new lodge room will compare favorably with any in the state. Arrangements are being perfected for the next sitting of the Grand Lodge, which promises to eclipse anything of its kind ever held in this city. Quite a friendly, and spirited contest for the official positions of Warfield Lodge Free and Accepted Mason was held last Thursday night at the Masonic Temple. The following were selected: J. H. Thompkins, Worshipful Master; W. B. Winn, Senior Warden; S. M. Steele, Junior Warden; John Coldwell, Treasurer, and N. H. Kimbrough, Secretary. The funeral services over the remains of Mr. Wallace Davis, one of the oldest citizens of this place, were held last Sunday afternoon, at St. Peter's A. M. E. Church before a crowd which taxed the capacity of the church. Rev. T. W. Gardiner, the pastor delivered an impressive oration. The interment was at Golden Hill Cemetery. The annual thanksgiving exercises of Hebron Lodge of Odd Fellows will be celebrated next Sunday at Fifth Ward Baptist Church. The Order will assemble at their hall and march in a body to the church, where it will be met by the office of the day and assigned to seats reserved for them. Rev. Paul Dennis, of Guthrie, will deliver the thanksgiving oration; and an offertory will be taken for widows and orphans. A trip to Jamestown is the latest announcement by the Twentieth Century Business Club, composed of young men of this city. During their first annual conclave, three days in next June, the person in attendance holding the numbered ticket selected THE most sacred ordinance that can be observed by all churches is that known as the Lord's Supper or, in other words, Sacrament. We do not think it is in keeping with these sacred ordiances of the Lord's Supper in church now-a-days to try to administer it with out the proper vessel. Every Church Ought to Have a First-Class Communion Set. They can have them made out of the best grade of guardruple-plated table silverware if they desire them. The Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board has just received from their factory a new lot of this high-class ware, and would take pains in showing them to any one. The Prices are Within Reach of All and Terms are Reasonable. No church ought to be willing to use glass dishes or the like for these ordinances when they can have the best grade of silver at moderate prices. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CALL OR WRITE THE sire to so raise the standard of work turned out by our offices that no man can say with derision when examining your work, "This is from a Negro printing office," with a slur on the word "Negro." In everything to which you apply yourself, do your very best, and if you merit it, you will succeed. This University is expecting great things from you. See to it that these expectations are fulfilled and thus make the class of 1907, the first class from the printing department, a worthy representative of your alma mater. I congratulate you upon having finished your course and predict for you, if you will do your very best at all times, a future filled with glory for yourselves and honor to the race. Not before in the history of the school have the exercises of the Alumni Association surpassed those of Wednesday evening. The address of Prof. W. E. Newson, President of Wayman Institute, was a masterpiece for thought, and delivered with that easy flow of oratory that was indeed pleasing to the audience. Prof. J. F. Lane, professor of mathematics of Lane College, delivered the address as representative from the College Department. It was rich with new ideas and practical thoughts. The alumni is very much pleased with the work of the past two years. The success was due mostly to the harmony of action of its executive officers. The officers for the next two years were elected: J. B. Batte, president; Mrs. I. B. Scott, Vice President; V. L. Moore, Recording Secretary; E. M. Dickerson, Corresponding Secretary; S. H. Jackson, Editor; Amanda Frierson, Treasurer. Dr. Kumler made some very timely remarks about the needs of the university and the duty of the alumni. The graduating exercises of the College Department were held Thursday morning, May 9, at 10 o'clock. With the sun shining in all its beauty, making Nashville a lovely sight to behold after the drenching rains throughout the better part of the week, the admirers, sympathizers, benefactors and visitors thronged into Meharry Auditorium in one never ending stream, until by 11 o'clock, which was one hour after the program was scheduled to begin, no space was left that was unoccupied save that above the heads of the audience. The principal speaker for the occasion was Rev. Anderson, who is secretary of the Board of Education Freedman's Aid and Sunday School. He took for his subject, "Making Our Lives the Achievement of Personal Triumph." He is a beautiful speaker. For one hour and fifteen minutes he held spellbound the vast audience that gave vent to their appreciation by continuous applause. He was logical, witty and entertaining. Out of this subject he pictured beautifully to the graduating class and to the school, the high calling or work leaving a lasting impression upon his hearers. A QUARDRUPLE-PLATED COMMUNION SET.

Invitations have reached Nashville from the faculty and senior class of the theological department at the Virginia Union University, at Richmond, Va., for the graduating exercises on Wednesday, May 15, at 8 p. m., in the University Chapel. There are eight candidates in the senior class for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, one for Bachelor of Science, five for Bachelor of Divinity, and three for Bachelor of Theology. There are some familiar names appearing among these candidates. It will be remembered that Union University with Hawthorne Seminary is conceded by all to be the finest and most expensive building of any school in the South. The buildings of Union University are all constructed of the most beautiful white stone the campus presenting a lovely appearance. It is at this school where the Home Mission Society, of New York, spent its force. Miss Ella Fort, of this city, is a member of the faculty at this school, hence Nashville is represented both in the class and the faculty. The Nashville Globe.

THE NEGRO VOTER. The temper of the Negro voter is being made manifest to the republican party at the North. There is less and less disposition upon the part of the voters to blindly follow the party simply because it was the party of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Roosevelt's policy in the Brownsville affair has cooled the ardor of the brother in black for the grand old party all over the country. This coldness toward the party is being overworked though. For example, it is stated that the apathy of the colored vote on account of the Brownsville affair was the cause of the defeat of the republican ticket in the Baltimore municipal election this week. This would be only too good if it were but true. However, from the weekly papers published in the city, we glean the fact that the Negroes were dissatisfied on account of the local conditions. There is no denying, though, that there is a general dissatisfaction with the republican policies that would cause the loss of several Northern states to the republican party were it not for the mouthings of some of the Southern democrats whose alpha and omega is the Negro. The South though always democratic really has very little force in the direction of democratic affairs and in a like manner the Negro is or has been an asset of the republican party. The Negro is really tired of the treatment accorded him by the republicans, yet he has not decided to choose, in preference those panaceas offered by Ben Tillman and his gang. At the next national election, unless there is a radical change in the affairs of the party, there will be a larger number of independent voters and stay-at-homes than ever before since emancipation. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME. America has a great navy and some efficient as well as bumptious officers. These men of the sea who command Uncle Sam's fighting fleet can be depended upon to look after the interests of an American citizen when he comes in contact with the municipal officers of some second-class power. Some times the officers are so officious as to merit a scathing letter like that sent by Governor Swettenham, of Jamaica. But most of the time, our brave admirals can be found doing their duty unselfishly and with much eclat like the incident which happened in one of the Central American republics last week. General Davis, an employee of an American fruit company. a sober, industrious Negro from the States, fell in the clutches of the police in one of Hondurian towns. He received a THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. MAY 10. 1907 drubbing similar to that frequently administered by some of the policemen of Nashville when making arrests of men charged of such heinous crimes as vagrancy, and was left on the street for dead. In less than an hour the officer in charge of the gunboat nearby, flying the flag of our country, was made aware of the outrage and proceeded to arrest all the police of the town. Of course, our officer was right and his actions will be approved by all patriotic Americans. But wouldn't it smack more of the Christian spirit of which we boast as the bulwarks of our government—wouldn't it appear more consistent, if the whole Navy were sent to some sections of this country with orders to arrest a few of the policemen who beat or shoot up on the slightest pretext the citizens? One or two boats could be used with profit in Nashville. If centralization of power would bring about the curbing of these lords of creation we hope the day of a strong, centralized government at Washington is far distant. We beg leave to ask our esteemed contemporary, the Nashville Globe this question. When a person says a girl is a 'peach,' what does he mean? We have all kinds of peaches.—Springfield (Ill.) Forum. The Globe is not an authority on slang phrases nor does its editor pose as an expert in answering questions. The Springfield young man, however, possibly intends to convey the idea that he thinks the girl to be a delectable feminine specimen of the genus homo that appears extremely admirable to his paternal ancestor. A Dickson man, an employee of the N. C. & St. L. Ry., is the patentee of a device for stopping railroad cars at the end of a track. The bumper is said to be the best thing ever made in this line. The colored man is still giving proofs of his ability to construct things and we hope this man will make a big hit with his invention. Since we accepted the St. Luke's Herald's challenge for a beauty contest, it seems that we have been cut off its exchange list. If the Herald does not care to put the F. F. V.'s on exhibition it ought to "say so, shut its mouth and leave it alone." If the Herald wants to back out it can do so without dropping us from its exchange lists. The baseball crank has come into his own, and if Nashville continues to win, he will forget all about the race problem. The Commencement orators are now monarchs of all they survey. CHARGES HIS WIFE SKIPPED WITH NEGRO. Chattanooga, Tenn.—In a chancery bill James Redmond, a white employee of H. H. Thrasher & Co., charges that his wife has skipped from the city with Negro male cook John Rice, alias Frank Brown. The bill charges that the complainant and his wife established a boarding house and his wages and the funds all amounting to about $1,000 were entrusted to the wife, who put them in a bank and he believes that his wife drew out this money, but prays for the court to go into the matter and ascertain the facts concerning the funds. PROMINENT MEMPHIAN IN THE CITY. Robert Church, Jr., the son of "Bob" Church of Memphis, reputed to be the wealthiest Negro in Tennessee, and a brother of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, D. C., spent a few days in this city the latter part of last week. Mr. Church was over to see Gov. Patterson upon business. Mr. Church has charge of the Church Auditorium and Park, which is located in the heart of Memphis, and at which, during the summer as well as the winter, theatrical shows exhibit. He is also interested in the Solvent Savings Bank and other enterprises in which his father is a large stockholder. He left for his home Saturday. THE CITIZENS' PROTECTIVE LEAGUE. The Citizens' Protective League, an East Nashville organization, held its fourth session at its headquarters on North Second street, Thursday night, May 9. Vice President Dan Smith presiding. Almost the entire membership was present and some important business was transacted. Interesting speeches were made by J. W. Baker, Dan Smith, J. R. Robert- son and J. B. Carey. Mr. Carey impressed upon the League the importance of urging young men to pay their poll tax and vote. The following are the officers of the organization: Assistant Secretary—J. B. Carey. Sergeant-at-Arms—M. S. Haynes. Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms — Bob Hyde. Finance Committee—J. E. Robertson, J. R. Statton, Robert Quarles. Advisory Board—J. B. Robertson, J. M. Baker, Dan Smith, F. H. Harper, A. A. Bennett. After the business was concluded the League adjourned. The Citizens' Protective League is a recent organization, which meets every Thursday night. It contemplates the union of the colored citizens of East Nashville. The promoters and members are earnest in their efforts, and the League is destined to become powerful as well as beneficial. FINISHES TEACHER'S COURSE. Mr. Isaac J. Berry, of the music department of Walden University, finished a teacher's course in music in the class of 1907. The exercises were given Thursday night, May 2, at 7:30 p. m., in the Meharry Auditorium, before a large and appreciative audience. Mr. Berry was assisted by Misses Maud J. Roberts and Mabel Scott, both very accomplished young ladies. The program was highly entertaining. It received a hearty applause from time to time. The program rendered was as follows: 1. Duo, Pas Des Cymbales, Chaminade—Mr. Berry and Miss Scott. 2. Sonata, Op. 7, Beethoven. I. Allegro. II. Largo. 3. Solo, La Serenata, Tosti—Miss Roberts. 5. Solo, Creole Lover's Song, Buck —Miss Roberts. To encore she sang "Last Parting," Rogers. 6. Rondo Brilliant, Weber. To encore he played Last Hope, Gottschalk. MISS SIMMONS' RECITAL AT BLIND SCHOOL. Despite the inclement weather all day Wednesday, the Tennessee School for the Blind, on Tennessee street, was favored with a piano recital by Miss Alice C. Simmons, who is a member of the Junior music class at Fisk University. The faculty and students enjoyed this rare treat to the highest degree. Miss Simmons played the following: 1. Andante in F. .....Haydn 2. Nocturne in E flat .....Chopin 3. Spring Song .....Liebling 4. "Sometimes I Feel Like a Moth- from Jubilee folk-song) ..... ..... ..... S. Coleridge-Taylor 5. L'Antino Minuette ..... Seeboeck 6. Novembre ..... Tschalkowski 7. Bolero ..... Moskowski 8. Valse Caprice ..... Chaminade The most enjoyable piece on the program was the fourth number by S. Coleridge-Taylor, which received a hearty encore from the students. The characteristic of these pupils is that they are all lovers of music and they delight much in these recitals. The rain kept quite a number away who had planned to attend, but an appreciative audience greeted the recital. CAPT. IRVIN PASSES AWAY. Captan W. L. Irvin, one of the oldest barbers in this city, died at the rooms in the Boyd building last Sunday, May 5. Captain Irvin was one of the leading men in his profession, having conducted a transorial parlor in Nashville for over twenty years. He was born in Columbia, Tenn., from which place he enlisted in the United States Army. After serving several years he was given an honorable discharge. He came to Nashville and opened a shop on Deaderick street, where he remained until a few years ago. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, he was appointed a lieutenant in the immune regiment, and served in that capacity until the regiment was mustered out. Since his retirement to public life he has conducted a barber shop in the Boyd Building. He was buried with honors by the Masonic Order, of which he was a member of high rank. His sister, Mrs. Mary Miller, of South Pittsburg; Tenn., came up to attend the funeral and to pay the last respects to her brother. The funeral services were conducted at the First Baptist Church by the pastor; Rev. W. S. Ellington. Interment at Mt. Ararat Cemetery. PHYLLIS WHEATLY CLUB. The Phyllis Wheatly Club met at the home of Mrs. Lizzie Caruthers, 1014 Edgehill street, Thursday, April 25.

Stringer, Mesdames Dickerson and Anna Nichols. The club will meet once a month. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Dickerson, of Jefferson street and Eighth avenue, North, Tuesday, June 4. MAGNIFICENT SPRING FESTIVAL (Continued from Page One.) Wednesday night the crowd at the spring festival increased over the previous nights, and the entertainment continued with unusual success. Nothing has been more pleasing than the loyalty shown on the part of the members and the interest manifested by visitors throughout. The registering of the attendance has grown in proportion. Thursday there was a special feature attached to the festival. The hotel waiters, under the management of Mr. Young, took dinner. The ladies had prepared a sumptuous repast for them. It was served promptly at three o'clock. Rev. Dr. Clark made an excellent address just before dinner was served, and in that commanding way he further endeared himself to the hearts of the vast audience that was present to witness the occasion. Thursday night the entertainment opened under the most promising circumstances. The weather had cleared away, and all day Thursday the sun was shining beautifully, which brought out an enormous crowd. The management of the festival found it difficult to supply ample refreshments as well as space to accommodate the visitors that were present during the evening. To-night there will be a special program for the entertainment of all, which winds up the twentieth annual Spring Festival of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. Judging from the reports of the officers and management, several hundred dollars have been cleared already and a full report is not yet available. A general good feeling and unity of work made the entertainments highly successful. BRENTWOOD NOTES. BRENTWOOD NOTES. The Magnolia Sewing Circle met last Monday, May 6, at the home of Mrs. Simon Woods. A nice lot of sewing was done and a very pleasant time was had. Late in the evening the hostess invited the guests in to dinner and served them a three-course menu. Those present were Mesdames Thomas Walker, G. W. Voorhies, Green Hunt, R. E. Johnson, Edward Bills, Houston Cole, Simon Words and Messrs. G. W. Voorhies, Thomas Walker and R. E. Johnson. Miss Drucilla Hill, of Nashville, is visiting her sister, Mrs. James Hunt.

B. Church met Tuesday night in class-meeting and to trans- act important business preparatory to entertaining the National Allen Chris- tian Endeavor meeting that will con- yene there July 2nd. Dr. T. W. Haigler stated that the’ regular custom of examination of classes would be dispensed with and the matters of business would be taken up at once, and as Presiding Elder Welch was present, he was asked to act as chairman, He out- lined the work under consideration and asked for a motion as to whether the matters under consideration be taken up. Mr, D.A. Hart moved that the church be repaired, seconded by Mr, Ran- som, The motion was discussed by several members. The pastor showed samples of Corinthian columns, a well paper for churches and halls. Presiding Elder Welch said he was familiar with the Corinthian wall pa per and had used it in churches where he had pastored. He urged the mem bers to prepare for the Convention A yote was taken and the church wa unanimous for the church to be re paired. A committee on toilets was ap pointed, consisting of Messrs. Ley Adams, W. B, Reed, D. A. Hart an ©, R. Dangerfield. A committee on papering was ay pointed, consisting of Messrs. Mill Pepper and Brown, who were to cor fer with Frank & Co., a local firm. Dr. Haigler stated that Mr. W. E Reed had resigned as chairman of th Committee on Homes, and asked fo a chairman, Mr, A. G. Ferguson wa selected, but declined, stating that h could not serve. Mr, W. D. Rucke was appointed Chairman of Commi tee on Homes, Mr. Reed agreeing t assist him. It was voted that Mr. Hart hold th money for repairs.

Several members of the churc came forward and paid their dolla Every one present showed great i ' |terest in the meeting and the paste ~land trustees expressed themselv as highly elated over the spirit e hibited by the members. » The church will be given a gener overhauling and will be one of t! most inviting edifices in the city whe completed. The mails bring daily reports fro various points stating that large di egations will be in attendance at tl meeting. From all accounts it seer to be safe to state that at least fi thousand delegates will be here July. They will come from eve nook and corner and a great meeti is expected. Dr. B. J. Gregg, of Jacksonvil Fia., the General Secretary, has | the country on fire, and he predic great things for his meeting. All t churches in the city of the A. M. denomination are making strenuo _ jefforts and are soliciting the aid all lovers of Christianity. In fact t opinion has been expressed that sessions of the meeting will be hi @lin some church or hall belonging ll! Negroes. The people are not in M!yor of going to the halls or audite t/ums owned by whites, to be ,| sulted by the police of the city, I are all in favor of keeping the me e-|ing in their own halls and church nt |realizing that it would be better | y-|all parties concerned. They state tl wl/St. John being the seat.of the C Is| vention, and as many of the larg m.|churches of the race are near by, th|would be an easy matter to arran e-|several meetings at the same ho s.|thereby giving opportunity to m J.|speakers to speak and to better ke| vantage, sinco less than half of | n,|people hear what is said where 0 two thousand are assembled. WAITERS DINE AT MT. OLIVE MAY FESTIVAL. _ Amid the gay festivities that have been carried on at the Mt. Olive Bap- tist Church during the week there was no feature that eclipsed in grandeur the dinner served to the waiters at Mt. Clive on Thursday aft- ernoon. The hour set was 3 o'clock, but it was well nigh 4 o'clock before all of the participants put in their ap- pearances. When they had all ar- rived Chairman Young assembled the men on the front steps of the church, where a photograph was taken of the group. The scene was a spectacular one. A finer group of men was never beheld. Immediately after the photo was taken they marched into the festal room and around the long table that extended the entire length of the church, laden with every kind of eatable the appetite could yearn for, We mention a few to whet your appetite: “Young mustard and sliced ham, roast pork, chicken pie, corn bread, buttermilk, and many other good things. For dessert, sweet po- |tato pie and peach pie were served; '|they also had black coffee. These ‘lgood things were served in regular style and order. About one hundred were seated around the large tables. Dr, C. H. Clark, pastor, was asked to invoke divine blessing and we .|were told every man to go for him y|self, and we went without coaxing. -| Chairman Young called for remarks »|by Dr. Clark. He spoke in glowing |terms of the record beimg made by -|the waiters in the hotels in Nashville and impressed the men of the grea 2 Tesponsibility resting upon each on: tlot them. He was followed by Mr. D a|A. Hart, manager of the Nashvill e|Globe. He said he was glad to bi Z present and considered it a grea s|honor to be identified with the gex ,|tlemen present on so tmportant a n{oceasion. He spoke of the work bé {ing prosecuted by the Glove, and ey e|pressed himself as being pleased t observe that the peovle are showin an appreciation of the efforts pu hl forth by the members of the.

The contest closes to night. Mr. John Chatman gave in honor of his mother's fiftieth birthday an entertainment last Wednesday night. The guests were entertained by the choir of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, and by the music of the graphophone of Mr. and Mrs. Liner. Rev. T. J. Goodall made a short talk. A two-course menu was served, after which all adjourned after wishing the hostess many happy returns of the day. Mrs. Virginia Walker Broughton, M. A., of the A. & M.

She will spend two weeks in Decatur, Ala., the guest of her schoolmate, Miss Randles, before going to her home in Chicago. It is to be regretted that Miss Roberts will not be at Walden another term.

Spence, and Messrs. Geo. O. Boyd, J. Frank Battle and Wm. Fugit spent a very delightful evening at cards with Miss Georgia Watkins, of Twelfth avenue, South, last Friday evening, May 3rd. Mrs. Davis, of No. 5 Garden street, South Nashville, entertained at dinner Wednesday in honor of Miss Maud J. Roberts, of Walden University. Those present were Misses Carrie Mildred Bryant, Clotelle D. Chappelle and Alberta K. Davis. The evening was spent in pleasant conversation, after which the quartette attended the alumni address at Meharry Auditorium. THE PRINCE HERRMAN FREE TRIP TO JAMESTOWN. It is to be noticed that since Prince Herrman offered free trips to Jamestown for the two most popular ministers of Nashville, by a full-page advertisement in the Globe, white papers and stores have adotted the idea, which seems to prove that a thought wherever hatched belongs to any one who can use it; and that even the advertising columns of The Globe are not overlooked by people who wish to keep abreast with the minutes. Help your pastor to take this trip to Jamestown. Children's Day Program Now Ready. We take pleasure in announcing that the program for Children's Day, which should be observed by all Sunday schools in the United States, is now ready. The program is one of the best ever gotten out. It is volume 10, No. 2, and is prepared especially for Children's Day, which is to be held Sunday, June 9, 1907. The order of exercises is arranged on the inside of the cover and outlines just how the program should be used. The Scripture reading, the singing, as well as the verses for reciting and the declamations have been selected with all possible care. These programs will be distributed gratuitously to all Sunday schools who will apply to the National Baptist Publishing Board at 523 N. Market street, Nashville, Tenn., and agree to give a collection to home missions. Nearly all of the music in the program is from our own composers. If Children's Day is to be observed by the Sunday schools, they should have their programs in time, so that the music and pieces may be well rehearsed by the scholars. Hundreds of orders have already been filled. Only a few days and the supply will be exhausted.* CEMETERY NOTES. Last Sunday a number of ladies and gentlemen assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Telliage to witness the marriage or their daughter, Miss Nannie L., to Mr. Josial Bass.

BUY YOUR Clothing, Hats, Eto., OF Judging from the extensive preparations and the names of prominent singers and musicians in the list below, the sacred concert Sunday evening at Spruce Street Baptist Church, promises to eclipse anything of the kind ever witnessed in this city. Prof. J. A. Porter and Dr. A. M. Townsend, the promoters and managers, need no introduction to the public. They have done enough in giving high-class entertainments for all to rely upon a simple promise that they will have an enjoyable program. This promise has been made. It is learned from Prof. Porter that the services of Mr. Frank Fowler, the bass soloist, who was until resemly with Madam Coles Jubilee Singers, has been secured for the occasion, as well as others. A few noted ones are Messrs. C. H. Kelly, Shedrick Joiner, Dr. Hampton, Misses M. E. V. Reed, Josie Saunders, Jennie Dunson, Madams Nellie Dunlap, Nellie Young, A. M. Townsend, Bessie Isaac, Josie Henderson, Lizzie James, Allen Bullock and Willie May Robinson. All the music has been selected by Dr. A. M. Townsend and Prof. Porter. The concert will begin at 8 p. m. An address will be delivered by the pastor, Rev. T. J. Townsend. It is predicted that a large audience will be present. FITE BROS. Pressing Club and Tonsorial Parlors.

At the mothers' meeting May 3, the following ladies were elected to office: Mrs. M. E. Johnson, President; Mrs. P. J. Armstrong, Vice President; Mrs. Emma Kennedy, Treasurer.

RELIEVED OF POCKETBOOK Miss Maria Lue Thomas, of 1026 Fourteenth avenue, North, was relieved last Saturday of her pocket-book containing $5.00 in money and some valuable papers. Miss Thomas had just paid her car fare and placed the purse in her coat pocket. She had been in the Transfer Station only a short while when she missed the article. She thinks that some one lifted it from her pocket in the Station, as there was such a crowd. NINTH ANNUAL BANQUET OF THE YOUNG MEN'S LYCEUM The Walden University Students Give a brilliant affair. Give a brilliant affair. Two hundred guests seated in the spacious dining hall at Walden University, Friday evening, listened with strained ears, mingled with pleasure, to the toasts prepared for this annual occasion. The Young Men's Lyceum gives annually these functions as a rule just before the close of school. The organization is known to be one of the strongest in the city, and this was fully demonstrated last Friday night. Invitations were extended to possibly two hundred and fifty guests. Most of these responded and congregated in the music hall. They mingled pleasantly in social conversation, receiving introductions to many of the distinguished guests that were present. During the introduction and the social feature, Miss Maud J. Roberts favored the guests with two of her charming selections. At 11 o'clock all repaired to the dining hall, which was gorgeously decorated for the occasion. A hugh star in Walden colors adorned the west wall of the hall. Running from the star in three directions of the hall were streamers in Walden colors, giving it the appearance of a comet. A large picture of Abraham Lincoln, around which hung carelessly, yet attractively, the national colors; ferns, palms, together with four magnificent candelabras of silver, holding seven candles to the stick, with a beautifully decorated table, lent more grandeur to the occasion. As the guests filed into the dining hall, Miss Porter, of Memphis, Tenn., played a beautiful march. Finally, when all were seated, Mr. J. W. Burrell, president of the Lyceum, and who was also toastmaster for the occasion, arose and addressed the guests, announcing that the good things prepared and about to be presented to them were the tokens of the high esteem in which the Lyceum held the faculty, the students and the citizens of Nashville. He said he hoped this occasion would live in the memory of every one present, the day of their college life, which to some were by no means at an end, but which to others were fast closing. He said that several toasts had been prepared for the banquet, and then introduced Mr. S. W. Rushing, who responded to "The Occasion." Mr. Rushing is a good speaker. His response was listened to with interest and loudly applauded. "Our Society" was responded to by Mr. L. E. Vincent, who covered the subject in full. Mr. T. G. Walker spoke of "The Future of the Y. M. L." His was a masterpiece. He said that the future Y. M. L. would without doubt continue to give to the world men to replace in fame and in modern history such as Hiram V. Revells, B. K. Bruce, Booker T. Washington, R. F. Boyd, R. H. Boyd and others. Mr. H. E. Huggins toasted "Our Guest." while F. B. Ransom toasted "To the Ladies." This occasion, like that of the parable of the marriage supper, seemed to hold back the best for the last. The response to the toast "To the Ladies," was assigned to Miss Daisy D. Moores. This young lady, the only honored member of the Lyceum, made the toast of the evening. Quite naturally she would give the men a lion's share, but her response indicated that she not only on this occasion, but in her real life, give them their proper place. A part especially was most attractive. She said, "Oh, woman's king! You hold the reins of power in your hand, you hold your own fate in your hands, you hold the destiny of woman. You can place her in the Elysian field of happiness by your kindness and love or sink her into the depth of despair by your neglect. What woman would not stake her life for the life of a man whose soul is as pure as Heaven and whose heart is true as the stars. You, young men, will some day be king and master of a little kingdom called home with a reigning queen and subjects, all your own, and may you prove by exemplary life that ideal man is no longer a phantom, but a reality. Oh man, forever cherished, forever dear; cherished by woman through all the years. May she ever find in your hearts an abiding place, and in your homes a rest from care." An applause that almost shook the three story building immediately followed this response. It was with much effort that the toastmaster regained quiet, and when he did he announced "The Fare well," by Mr. J. H. McMorris, with an instrumental duet by Misses Porter and Stewart. There were present for this banquet several honorary guests. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Napier, Mrs. C. H. Phillips and daughter. Misses W. H. McBroome, Carrie M. Bryant, and Mrs. Hodgkins, Henry A. Boyd, Dr. and Mrs. Hammond, with the theological department, and most of the faculty of Walden and Meharry. The following menu was served. It was one o'clock before Dr. Kumler arose and stated that this was undoubtedly the biggest banquet any school had ever given, as it extended through a part of two days. The officers were as follows: J. W. Burrell ..... President Charles H. Love ..... Vice President Hugh Johnson ..... Secretary Robert F. Dill ..... Assistant Secretary Henry H. Walker ..... Cor. Secretary Thomas S. Allen ..... Treasurer Freemon B. Ransom ..... Critic L. Napier Bass ..... Assistant Critic Robert L. Johnson ..... Chaplain E. Washington Reid.

UNTIL the large number of people who are never seen in churches can be assured that every church in this vicinity will have a set of seats that will be clean, comfortable and inviting, they will not be seen inside a church. Many churches will supply this long-felt want if they could do so at prices and on terms within their reach, thus increasing their attendance, drawing on the unusually large number of people who do not attend the churches, and which would evidently result in every service being crowded. A barrier has been in the way in the form of high prices, shoddy goods and no terms. This barrier has been removed by the Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which has presented the new style church seat (its own creation and its own make). These seats are constructed of the best grade of hardwood. They are built by the best skilled mechanics and have proven to be the most comfortable ever offered at the prices. The terms on which they can be purchased are so easy that any church, regardless of its financial condition, can secure a set of these by a small cash payment, have the seats installed and pay the remainder in monthly or quarterly payments to suit their own financial condition. How long, with such inviting inducements offered, will it be, before every church in and about Nashville will get a set of seats? References can be given to the Nashville churches by referring them to Rev. L. Kirkpatrick, pastor of the St. John Baptist Church, Pearl St.; Rev. J. L. Harding, pastor of the North Third Avenue Baptist Church, both of whom have seated with new style church seats; Rev G. B. Taylor, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, corner Stevens and Deluge Sts.; Rev Wm Haynes, pastor of Sylvan Street Church, Shelby Avenue, who have installed the church pews.

At the time of the accident two doctors were called. The first to arrive put eighteen stitches in her arm. But the work did not satisfy Dr. R. F. Boyd, who subsequently removed the stitches and fixed the injured arm in accordance with his own ideas, and since that time the young lady, though suffering at times intense pain, has been on the road to recovery. The third quarterly conference of in the McMinnville circuit was held in Finger Chapel May 4 and 5, with the presiding elder, W. R. Smith, in the chair. The departments of the church were represented. On Sunday morning the Sunday school met at 9:30 o'clock, with the superintendent, F. A. Morford in the chair. It was acknowledged by the Presiding Elder that Finger Chapel has one among the best Sunday schools in his District. At 11 o'clock a. m., and 4 o'clock p. m. the Presiding Elder preached two of his soul-stirring sermons, which stirred both saints and sinners. The quarterly collections were as follows: For benevolence, $3.75; presiding elder, $17.21; pastor, $40.38. Total, $61.34.

National Baptist Team Given a Drubbing by Fisk. On Saturday afternoon, May 4, Manager Boyd lead his Baptist lambs to the slaughter, and when the strong team at Fisk let up and the smoke had cleared away, the score was almost a "skidoo," 13 to 2. The National Baptist team was greatly handicapped, not having had an opportunity to do but little practicing. Again, the game was started without the regular catcher and the pitchers were wild as March hares. Manager Boyd started in to pitch, but he has not located the plate yet, but when he got the ball in reach, my! oh! my! He was relieved by Bowman who did much better after he settled down. Fisk has a strong team, one that will give any amateur aggregation a run for the money; and, too, they have been hard at work since February, so the Baptist boys should compliment themselves on not being shut out. Despite the fact that Manager Boyd's "hummers" were snowed under in this game, he is not discouraged, but believes his team can deliver the goods, and expects to develop the strongest team the National Baptists have ever had. *** BASEBALL IN THE EAST. BASEBALL IN THE EAST. The New York Colored Giants just arriving from an engagement with the Connecticut State League, playing in Waterbury and other cities, breaking even in the games, will open the season at home with the Rough Riders, of New Rochelle, at Dilon Park, May 28. The line-up for the Giants will be Smith, c. f.; Lang, r. f.; Henry, l. f.; Jordan, 1st b.; Nelson, 2d b.; Braggs, 3rd b.; Maxwell, s. s.; Dorse, p.; DeVoe, c. Games will be called at 3:30. The Giants will appear in their new uniforms. The baseball score card in the Daily Tribune was thoroughly appreciated at the game by the fans. It is not at all likely that the Philadelphia Giants will be seen in this vicinity before Decoration day morning, when they will cross bats with the Frankford team. A number of championship contests have been arranged to be played in different cities between the Philadelphia Giants, the Royal Giants, the Genuine Cuban Giants and the Cuban Stars. Those which have been arranged for Philadelphia, the dates, of course, being subject to change if occasion warrants, are as follows: July 23, Genuine Cuban Giants, on the Philadelphia grounds; August 12, Cuban Stars, on Philadelphia grounds; August 29, Cuban Giants on Athletics' grounds; September 6 and 7, Royal Giants, at Atlantic City, Sept. 9 and 10; Cuban Stars at Atlantic City; Sept. 11, Royal lantic City; September 11, Royal Giants, on Philadelphia grounds; September 12 and 13, Royal Giants, at Atlantic City; September 19, Royal Giants, on Philadelphia grounds. "Pop" Andrews, who finished the season with the Philadelphia Giants, and who has been "holding out," has written to the Philadelphia management that he is ready to join the team. Petway, who is doing most of the backstop work for the Philadelphia Giants, is full of ginger and he does a coaching stunt very much on the Monroe order. The Williams & Walker baseball nine played the Elks at Vare Park last week, and to the surprise of the big audience they simply wiped the floor up with the local society men. Bert Williams on first was "all there" with both bat and playing, and he made several very good stops. Shipp, who played short stop for the W. & W. team, was the most finished player on the team. It is likely that he will have a try for an infield position on the Philadelphia Giants. Last Saturday afternoon "Chappy" Johnson, the well-known premier catcher, unexpectedly dropped in at Raymon Wilson's cigar store, which was his first appearance since last fall, when he stopped in to bid the boys farewell before sailing to Cuba, where he has been a manager of a baseball team in the Cuban League. Chappy claims to have had the best financial success he has ever experienced, and judging by the way he was loaded down with gold and diamonds, and the brand of cigar he now smokes, there can be no doubt but what Chappy's claims are true. Chappy says the saddest news he received from home while away was the disbandment of the Cuban X-Giants, and while soliloquizing over what would become of so many veteran players who would be compelled to seek a new field of endeavor, he resolved not to ignore the "Handwriting on the wall," but like Jim Jeffries, purchased himself a farm, where the coming generation can sing to him that old familiar song, "Old Folks at Home." The line-up of the celebrated Leland Giants, which is supposed to be intact, by May 5, is as follows: Andrew (Rube) Foster, Captain and Manager; Earle, Bowman and Gatewood, pitchers; Booker and Rat Johnson, catchers and change first baseman; Harris, second base; George Wright, shortstop; Talbert, third base; Winston, left field; Moore, Centre-field, and Payne, right field. Should this team carry out their plans of invading the East they unquestionably should receive the patronage of the colored people, as it is a strictly colored enterprise, supported absolutely by colored men's capital. BOXING Bill Squires, the Australian heavyweight, who came over to this country with the expectation of annexing the heavy-weight championship, seems to be the man of mystery to the greater number of fight followers. Squires fought Felix on three different occasions. Felix is a big colored fellow and a cousin of the great Peter Jackson. Squires beat him once in 11 rounds, once in seven and once in two. Jack Johnson, the colored heavy-weight, who chased Squires to America, knocked out Felix after two minutes of fighting. Is it any wonder that Bill came over here for his pickings? If Squires will take on Jack Johnson and decisively beat him the American public will look upon Bill as a hero and call for a match with Jeff. There is not a white heavy-weight in the world who will meet Johnson, and if Squires will break the ice he has the chance of his life. NELSON IN NO HURRY TO FIGHT. NELSON IN NO HURRY TO FIGHT. After all the protestations Battling Nelson has made about fighting nobody but Gans, he doesn't seem to be in any violent hurry to do business with a flattering offer of a purse in sight. Whether he is on the level, and really anxious to fight Joe Gans, should be determined in quick time. Gans has agreed to fight the Dane again. He has accepted the terms of Tex Richard for a return contest, to take place at Ely Nev., probably on July 4, and there is another offer from Eddie Graney of $35,000 for a fight to take place in San Francisco on the same date, and now it is for Nelson to say whether he is ready to give battle to his doughty colored opponent or is only four flushing. Nelson doubtless will do the sensible thing. He will urge his manager, Nolan, to agree to abide by Gans' terms. Nelson is not a half bad fellow. On the contrary, he is a pretty decent chap. But he is misguided. Nolan is the drawback to his popularity. LANGFORD MAY BE NEXT CHAM PION Moir is the champion of England beyond dispute. Moir showed he has a sleep-producing punch when last month he met Tiger Smith. The Tiger was so confident of putting the quietus on the Gunner, that he purchased his release from the English army. Alas! Gunner Moir got over a fine wallop and Tiger-Smith went to the land of slumber. He didn't last a round. Moir is now matched to fight Sam Langford, the American colored fighter, and if the figures can be relied upon, don't be surprised if the next heavyweight championship title is sported by an ebony American by the name of Langford.
