COMING BY THE THOUSANDS.
National Christian Endeavor Meeting Primises to Eclipse all Former Sessions.
LARGE DELEGATIONS APPLYING DAILY FOR HOMES-EVERY MAIL BRINGS LETTERS CONTAINING GLOWING REPORTS FROM THE DIFFERENT STATE LEAGUES-ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH MAKING GREAT PREPARATION.
Every day in the week the prospects for a successful meeting of the first National Convention of the Allen Christian Endeavors, which is to convene in this city the second day of July and continue through the eighth day, grow brighter and brighter. The members of the local and state societies throughout the country are aroused to the highest pitch, and every mail brings letters from delegations from every part of the country asking for homes, and the pastors of the various churches of the African Methodist denomination are working like beavers securing quarters, and many of them are soliciting the aid of the pastors of churches of other denominations, for they realize that the members of the African Methodist Church alone cannot care for the thousands of delegates that will be here. One prominent minister of the African Methodist denomination said he considered the meeting from a race standpoint as well as from a denominational, and felt that every Negro would be proud if the meeting was a success, and would on the other hand feel it very keenly if visitors should come into the city and go away saying that they had not been properly entertained. He said many homes had been secured and that the people were sending in applications irrespective of denominations, to a degree that was most encouraging.
St. John A. M. E. Church is being given a general overhauling for the reception of the convention, and all the A. M. E. churches are making special preparations to entertain the meeting. New toilets have just been put in, the plasterers have completed their work, and the painters will begin as soon as the tinners finish the roof repairs. The members are putting forth a great effort, and under the leadership of their pastor, Dr. T. W. Haigler, they will have everything in readiness when the gavel falls on the morning of the second of July.

SHELBYVILLE NOTES.
The town was ablaze all last week with the closing exercises of Turner Normal Institute, it being Commencement week. Visitors were present from all over the state, including many distinguished ministers of the A. M. E. Church, who are trustees of the school. Among the number were Bishop B. F. Lee, Rev. G. L. Jackson, T. W. Haigler, S. L. Howard, H. F. Smith, N. Smith, C. H. Shelto, D. E. Johnson and A. Moore, Commencement was held Thursday, May 30. Rev. H. F. Smith delivered the commencement address. Seventeen young ladies and gentlemen were graduated from the English department, and one young man from the Normal. Presents were numerous and costly.
The trustee board held its annual session during the week. Preparations for a new building are now in progress.
Dr. J. A. Jones was unanimously re-elected president of the college with the following assistant teachers: Prof. R. P. Purdy, Mrs. Nannie A. Benson, Miss Maund Brookins and Miss Mattie L. Barr. It is said that this was the most brilliant and successful year in the history of the institution.
Mrs. M. E. Davis and Miss Annie L. Dawson, former teacher in Turner Institute, have been spending several days in the town since the closing. Mr. W. M. Commons and family, of Fayetteville, spent Commencement season in town last week. The Turner Normal team crossed bats with Bellbuckle again last week on the school campus. Victory, as usual, for "T. N. A.;" score, 13 to 2.
Since the close of Turner Normal times seem dull and dry. Dr. J. A. Jones will leave in a few days for Wil-

berforce to attend the Commencement and meeting of the trustee board, of which body he is a member. He will stop over to visit his family in Nashville. Mt. Zion Baptist Church is still without a pastor and aspirants for the pulpit seem to be slow in showing up. The A. M. E. Church, Rev. Gordan, pastor, has recently been newly papered, carpeted and painted. It is now a thing of beauty. The Teachers' Institute of Bedford County, will open Monday, June 10, and last two weeks. Prof. N. B. Morton is president.
ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY.
The present outlook for the future of Roger Williams University grows brighter at the close of each day. More interest is being shown by Negro Baptists of Tennessee, who are co-operating with all the citizens of Nashville and the state as well. Hardly a week passes but that the financial agent, Rev. Wm. Haynes, does not fill some appointment made for him by enthusiastic supporters. It appears that the article that appeared in the columns of the Globe several weeks ago, stating the possibility of the opening of the school for the fall term, has created no little speculation as to where the school would be opened, and since the article appeared, several leading members of the Baptist State Convention, who are also connected with the re-building of the university, have been interviewed by a Globe representative. Neither of the gentlemen seen have had any voice in the management, but from their conversation and from the many facts brought out in connection with the re-establishing of the school, it was learned that the Tennessee Baptist State Convention, which will meet in Knoxville, Tenn., in July, will determine not only the date of opening, but the president, the management and the board of trustees. The state executive board held a meeting last week in the Kayne Avenue Baptist Church, at which important business concerning the work of the convention was taken up. This board also voted to recommend to the state convention that Roger Williams be opened in October. A committee of three was appointed to look after the preparations and to make a report to the convention. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that a strong sentiment prevails for the re-opening of the school independent of the Home Mission Society, and directly under the control of the Negro Baptists of Tennessee, with a Negro president and faculty throughout. It is known that such staunch supporters as Revs. C. H. Clark of Nashville, Ward of Chattanooga, Smith of Clarksville, the Hardings and Taylors of Nashville, and many others who have declared that they are ready and willing to throw their shoulders to the wheel and help the re-establishment of the school, are not willing to do so unless they can be assured that the title and deeds to the property will be made out to the Tennessee Baptist State Convention through the trustees. Then, too, it is openly said that the future Negro educational institutions, in order to get help from Negroes, must be so established as to become the property of the Negro youth, as well as offer inducements to ambitious youths in future. The rapid growth of the Howe Institute, located at Memphis, Tenn., is a fair specimen of what could have been done with Roger Williams under favorable management, and what will be done with the school after it opens again in September. President Fuller of the Howe Institute, was seen in Nashville, and stated to a Globe reporter that his enrollment for the session just closed numbered 400 students, and it is known that scores of these would have spent this year in the schools in Nashville, as many of them went from the extreme eastern portion of the state.

FIRST MEETING OF TRUSTEES OF ANNA T. JEANES FUND.
The Tennessee member of the Anna T. Jeanes Fund, Mr. J. C. Napier, left Monday night for New York City to attend the special board meeting which had been called to meet in New York, Wednesday, June 5. A Globe reported called on Mr. Napier before he left for New York and learned from him that in all probability the charter for this board would be offered at the meeting, and that other plans for the future government of the board would be presented. He was asked by the representative what were the possibilities of locating the headquarters of the new board in Nashville, to which he replied, "I do not know that such a matter would come up for consideration at this meeting, nor do I know whether any headquarters has as yet been selected. Of course Montgomery, Atlanta, Washington and New York are already candidates for the place, but that does not hinder Nashville from registering her claim." When asked if it would be taken up if the proper overtures were made by the leading citizens, he said that he thought it could be tried. At any rate he will be in a position to say more definitely upon his return what the prospects are for locating the board in Nashville. Prominent members on this board known in Nashville are J. C. Napier, Booker T. Washington, Bishop Abram Grant, of Kansas City, and R. L. Smith, of Paris, Texas
ORDER OF ELKS.
The young men of this city who are organizing a lodge of the Order of Elks are meeting with great success. At a recent meeting several gentlemen made excellent addresses relating to the Order. Mr. Coffey's remarks were highly appreciated. Mr. Robert Green a charter member of the St. Louis Lodge of Elks, will deliver an address next Monday evening. The members of the new lodge are well pleased with the success which they have made.

Miss Millie Neely, of Third avenue, North, who is employed at Linck's Laundry, Third avenue and Locust street, ha d a narrow escape from sejury Thursday morning just after 7 o'clock.

If the machinery had not been stopped immediately the result would have been a broken arm or perhaps something of a more serious nature.

AT REST.
Miss Lillian Owens, after having suffered for about three months, was called to her reward Monday, May 27, 1907. She bore her sufferings patiently.

COMMENGEMENT EXERGISES
Of Pearl High School took place at Ryman Auditorium, 7:30 o'clock, June 6.
CLASS OF 1907 WAS GREETED BY ONE OF THE MOST MAGNIFICENT AUDIENCES THAT EVER FILLED THE GREAT BUILDING LOVELY DRESSED WOMEN AND CHILDREN MADE A SCENIC PICTURE INSPIRING AND BEAUTIFUL.
The Commencement exercises of Pearl High School took place Thursday evening at Ryman Auditorium. A vast audience filled the immense building long before the time to begin the exercises. The lower auditorium and the gallery presented a magnificent picture, filled mostly with ladies arrayed in lovely costume, beautiful and vari-colored headgear. All had come to do honor to the occasion—to manifest their appreciation for the faithful services of the instructors and to indicate to the young men and women who were about to enter upon the active duties of life their interest in their future. No class from the High School ever had a more inspiring occasion and a more representative gathering to grace its finishing exercises and to usher it into the affairs of the world. The people were there to bless and encourage the young people in their last efforts as High School pupils and wish and bid them Godspeed through the coming years as towers of strength in uplifting and blessing their people by their own noble lives well lived.
If we may rightly judge from the manner the class acquitted itself, then an auspicious and successful future pregnant with achievements loom up before it. All on the program acquitted themselves creditably, and the great audience applauded them to the echo. Those young people who bade farewell to school life Thursday evening can never forget the hearty and sincere reception accorded them by one of the most enthusiastic gathering of people that ever assembled in the great building. The inspiration of the occasion, it is hoped, will go with all through life, and if their feet should ever falter in the path of duty before some seeming insurmountable obstacle, the memory of the hopeful confidence of the people in them as shown on their Commencement evening will serve to strengthen and renew their faith in themselves to surmount opposing difficulties.
The primary purpose of public exercises at the closing of school life is to leave a lasting impression upon the minds of the graduating class.
So the graduating class of Pearl High School for the year 1907, received a flattering compliment that surpassed that of any other year. Young men and young women, the people who witnessed your splendid start in life, expect much of you in the coming years and if you fail their condemnation will be more bitter than was their benediction sweet.
The program which was rendered so splendidly was as follows:
1. Opening Chorus - "Greeting to
1. Opening Chorus—Greeting to Spring" ..... Strauss
2. Salutatory Address—The Two Washington ..... Chas. A. Greer
3. Music—"Laughing Gas" ..... Geibel
4. Fancy Drill—Miss L. A. Bright, Director, in Sixteen High School Girls.
5. Music—"The Fairy Revel," from Comic Opera "Pirate of Penzance"
6. Valedictory Address—Night brings out the stars—Everil M. Frazier
7. Music—"Ring the Lily Bells...
8. Presentation of Diplomas—by President of Board of Education
9. Closing Chorus—"March of the Guard" ..... Geibel
The following pupils received diplomas after passing successfully the final examinations: Wm. B. Davis, Mansfield J. Dean, Chas, A. Grier, Crawford C. Harwell, Percy W. Nelson, Avery N. Peyton, Ira B. Scott, Willie T. Cockrill, Mabel E. Scott, Willie L. Foster, Hettie T. Fowler, Everill M. Frazier, Martha B. Katt, Hattie E Mullein, Nine E. Murrell, Blanche Perkins, Annie L. Robertson.

THE LADIES OF HOWARD CHURCH.
The ladies of the Howard Congregational Church are well organized and especially active just now. The Woman's Missionary Society last Wednesday night gave a birthday party at the parsonage, which was attended by at least one hundred people. A feature of the entertainment was the winding of the Maypole by a dozen little children. Miss Jennie Noel played the march. Refreshments were served free. The guests were loud in their expressions of thanks for the evening's entertainment. About $20 was realized.
The Ladies Aid Society, a comparatively new organization, but very active and useful, last Thursday afternoon at their regular weekly meeting at the residence of the President, Mrs. P. R. Burrus, held a box opening service. When the contents of the various boxes held by the members of the Society were opened and counted it was found that about $22 had been gathered. The business part of the program was done with system and despatch and excited the admiration of the guests present. The members present were Mesdames Burrus, Anderson, White, Hughes, Miller, Ferguson, Thompson, Cheatham and Miss Lena T. Jackson. Mrs. R. S. White was awarded a fine cake as a prize for raising the largest amount of money, which was nearly $9.00. Among the visitors present were Mesdames Ewing, Voorhies, Carter, Napier, Washington, Hodgkins, Bond, Jackson, Revs. Spencer Jackson and James Bond. At the close of the business session a bountiful repast was daintily served and a pleasant social chat engaged in. It was a notable meeting and the ladies Aid Society deserves much credit not only for the meeting, but for the work they are doing. It was announced at the meeting that the society had purchased and would present to the church and Sunday school Sunday a cooler with filter arrangements and cups.
There is a movement on foot to organize the men of the church and it is thought that the activity of the women will stimulate the men along missionary and church aid lines.

CHURCH SEATS AND CHURCH PEWS
New Styles Cheap and Endurable. Comfort and Beauty Combined.
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.

F. M. HAMILTON AS POSTOFFICE
INSPECTOR-IN-CHARGE.
Much is being said in the press dispatches about filling the vacancy caused by the resignation of the post-office inspector-in-charge at Chattanooga, Tenn. It seems from the dispatches that the position and the filling of the vacancy will be brought into political controversy of the Brownlow-Evans faction, without regard to the competency of the aspirant. This, however, will possibly not be the case, as one of the daily papers contained a dispatch some days ago that F. M. Hamilton's name had been offered for the vacancy. Mr. Hamilton's eighteen-year record with the postoffice department in the in-spection divisions ought to make him an easy winner.
IMPERIAL GLEE CLUB.
IMPERIAL GLEE CLUB.
The Imperial Glee Club met at the home of Mrs. Dixon, 1719 Jefferson street, Tuesday evening. The evening was spent in games. A short program was rendered. Mrs. Nichols spoke a few words of encouragement the members of the club. The sts were served light refreshments. Those present were Mesdames, Dixon, Anna Nichols and dames Dixon, Messrs. Malvin Hayes Turner and Frierson, Misses John Sin. W. Willie Nichols, Jennie Ada Dixon, W. Willie Nichols, Jennie Porterfield, and L. B. Stringer. The club adjourned at a lee hour to meet the fourth W. Wednesday n. at June at the residence of Mrs. Harriet Stringer.
Princip. G. Smith, of Pearl High School, and in able corps of efficient instructors merit unstinted praise and commendation for the great work they are doing in this city for the young men and women who are being turned out every year well equipped for the battle of life. Thursday evening's commencement exercises add other laurels to the instructors for their achievements in educational race building. May they, one and all, have many more years of continued success in the noble work they are doing. In the lives they are shaping they will live over their own again—these lives will be living monuments to the memory of their instructors.

TO THE PUBLIC
Any erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person, firm or corporation, which may appear in the columns of THE NASHVILLE GLOBE will be gladly corrected upon being brought to the attention of the management.
Send correspondence for publication so as to reach this office Monday. No matter intended for current issue which arrives on Thursday, please send it in that number, as soon as possible, on press day.
All news matter sent us for publication must be written only on one side of the paper, and should be accompanied by the name of the contributor; not necessarily for publication, but as an evidence of good faith.
A FEW HINTS TO CONTRIBUTORS.
We would call our correspondents' attention once again to the fact that we will not publish communications sent to us unless the name of the sender is signed thereto. We do not request the name of the sender for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith. Likewise we would emphasize that copy must be written only upon one side of the paper.
Frequently we receive communications from contributors who violate these rules and consequently their contributions reach the waste basket. Others favor us with items that we would be glad to use, but can not because the writing, which is done with a pencil, is illegible.
The Globe is anxious to have live items from any or all of its readers, and our communication column is open for the expression of the opinion of our subscribers. We must insist, however, that those writing communications sign their real names for the benefit of the editors. Likewise we must insist that all copy be written only upon one side of the paper. We make a special request to our friends that they write with ink when sending us items. If these requests are heeded, fewer articles will find their way to the waste basket and The Globe will be freer from the errors occasioned by illegible writing.
A WORTHY CHARITY.
A Northern woman, who has labored unceasingly from the close of the Civil War to the present in the interest of the orphan children of our race in a neighboring city, recently stated that we, as a race, make no effort to better the conditions of the unfortunate members of the race. She asserted that in her effort to help the orphan she had been compelled to rely almost solely upon the income from her own fortune, which was meagre, and the contributions of friends in the North.
We fear there is too much truth in this indictment by a true and tried friend to be relished, yet we are aware that a majority neglect charities, not because they do not recognize the need of contributions for the support of such work, but because they are not far enough removed from charitable donations themselves. To epitomize the Negro's opinions of charities, he is too poor, as a race, to do very much for his fellowman. His great battle is to uplift himself.
The Negro, though, is recognizing the duty he owes those less fortunate than himself and is gradually exerting himself through religious and other sources to reach the unreached. A movement in Nashville, organized by some of our public-spirited women, which is yet in its infancy, is doing
great good and, if given the proper support, is destined to accomplish much for the working women of our race. We refer to the Woman's Day Home Club.
This Club has secured a building in a desirable section of the city and is caring for the children of working-women while the mothers are attending to their daily labor. The home is supported exclusively by charitable gifts and by the funds which the godly women connected with it are able to raise from entertainments given at their homes and various churches. Few of us are able to give outright any considerable sum for the support of this worthy institution, but almost every one can help by attending these entertainments and spending ten or fifteen cents. These women are working for the betterment of the race and should have the undivided support of all the citizens of Nashville.
The public schools have closed another successful year. Next year manual training will be added to the course of instruction. This, we believe, will make the public schools of Nashville the first in Tennessee to provide such training for its colored youth. We have cause to feel proud of these schools. They are the best in the South.
Alain Le Roy Locke, the young Philadelphiaian, who recently won a Rhodes' scholarship, has been successful in the competition for a $250 scholarship at his Alma Mater—Harvard. If these colored boys who attend Harvard continue to outpoint their white rivals, President Elliot will have to demand a separate school for them.
The "lily whites" of Tennessee, according to the white newspapers, are trying to get rid of the colored brother. These whites will hardly be open in their opposition until after the State Convention. In the meantime let the colored men get together.
William Jennings Bryan claims that he can not make a partisan speech because Roosevelt steals his thunder. Bryan only saved himself from being put in the Ananias class by complimenting the truthful Teddy.
Booker T. Washington has been appointed one of the Board of Trustees for Howard University. Mr. Washington's great reputation as the prince of money collectors increases the demand for the services.
We want a park where we can have some amusements with ginger in them, but we don't want a "social equality" park. Eliminate a few dozen of the white men connected with Olympic Park and it will be a good thing.
This "cleaning up day" should last three hundred and sixty-five days a year and some times three hundred and sixty-six days.
COMMUNICATIONS. AFTER SCHOOL.
To The Nashville Globe:
After spending a very pleasant and successful year at Atlanta Baptist College, from which school I took the degree of Bachelor of Arts, I boarded the train for my dear old home in Tennessee. There were eight in the party to make the trip together, which was planned some time before. We left Atlanta in early morning so as to glean a full scope of the magnificence of nature between that city and Nashville. We were delighted by the scene presented by the spiked headed, stately forest pines of Georgia, some of which, in their gigantic size, almost bespoke their lineage from the ancient walking cane of Polyphemus, but almost like the passing of the glorious sun from behind a dark cloud was the change in the natural scenery when we crossed over into the beautiful state of Tennessee. Instead of rolling beds of red and swampy land we saw beautiful grassy valleys intercepted by gradually rising peaks which, I might say, in their perfect physiognomy almost seemed to be home-made. Farreaching landscapes clothed in the exquisite vestments that nature had lavished upon them passed before our eyes and held us almost spellbound on the tiptoe of expectation. As the sun from the west laid waste all the cold of mother earth and instilled new life in everything that stood beneath its
proper amplish of ours Day ling in and is gaze, one could almost see God himself smiling in the beauty of nature. One of the most charming objects that engaged our attention was the beautiful bridge which was being constructed across the Chattanooga creek and which in less than two hours after we passed, was wrecked by an explosion. Mass.; John H A. M Ga. Rev. the col trustee one th raised
Almost reluctantly I broke off from the party at my home, Murfreesboro, where I spent a very pleasant week, finding all well except one of my brothers. I arrived in Nashville Saturday evening and spent a delightful and inspiring Sunday and every friend that I met made me regret that I didn't plan to stay longer. While in the city I gratefully enjoyed the pleasing hospitality of Mr. S. E. Marshall, an old college chum, at 2120 Nance street.
JOE DEE AVENT, A. B.
WITH THE MUSICIANS AT FISK.
To The Nashville Globe:
Last Friday evening in spite of the threatening weather, Fisk Memorial Chapel, the scene of so many brilliant musical performances that even the walls must ring, was filled with the elite of Nashville, awaiting the opening of the evening's entertainment. Pretty girl ushers all in white like the butterflies of the springtime gracefully showed the patrons their seats. Promptly at eight o'clock the Glee Club arose like one man, and coming forward to the front of the platform, gave to the listening audience the first measure of their opening song. From that time to the close it was a series of most beautiful melodies, rich in pathos, as in the Old Negro Folk song or plantation melodies, wrapped in the beauty of which we were taken back through the years and could see and feel our grandsires and grand-mothers stealing away in the shadows of night to worship God, the God that would set them free. And it seemed to me as the sweet strains tolled on and on that religion in those days was better and purer than it is now. God was more real to our grandfathers.
Mr. Myers scored a great hit in his rendition of a Negro Love Song not yet published. And he is always happy and pleasing in his select readings from Dunbar. This time as always he brought forth great applause.
As I sat and listened to the deep, full, rich tones of this male choir, now expressing some deep religious sentiment, again bursting forth in tones of love, and dying softly away in the depth of perfect harmony and sweetness, my mind ran down through the ages. I paused on the threshold of time, and felt in my heart, yes, in my inmost soul, that a race which can produce such singers must and will come out of the depths and be in the front rank of all nations, and at last sing their way to destiny, to be a great nation, and sing their way to God. We went out in the stillness of the night with the sweet strains still ringing in our ears, benefited and refreshed, and in spite of the fact the lightning had been flashing the sky was clear, and the stars shone out.
COMMENCEMENT AT MORRIS
BROWN COLLEGE.
Atlanta, Ga., May 30.—The commencement exercises of Morris Brown College are over, and are said to have been the best in the history of the institution, and Professor J. S. Flipper, the President, was highly complimented for his efficient work for his race. He will go to the next general conference with the endorsement of Georgia for the office of Bishop. Sixty young men and women received diplomas from the various departments of the college, and the ministerial class was composed of able young men who will be heard from in the church. The exercises were held in the People's Tabernacle, on Yonge street, owned by Bishop H. M. Turner, and dedicated to the Negro race. Fully 5,000 people were present.
The exercises opened May 22, with class day exercises in the college chapel; oral examinations, May 23; exhibition of the sewing department, under Miss Parker, May 23; second year reception to graduates, Thursday, May 23.
Rev. R. A. Adams, B. D., of Greenville, Miss., delivered an address before the literary societies, May 24, and preached Sunday night. Rev. Thomas H. Jackson, D. D., of Shorter College, N. Little Rock, Ark., delivered an address.
The baccalaureate sermon was preached by Rev. J. Albert Johnson, D. D., of Philadelphia, Pa. The graduating exercises were held May 29, and the commencement address was delivered by M. Leonard Frazier, of New York.
The orations and essays were of the highest order. Bishop H. M. Turner announced that the following degrees were conferred:
LL. D.—J. H. Jones, D. D., President of Wilberforce University; Robert C. Ogden, New York; John C. Martin, New York.
Ph. D.—J. Albert Johnson, D. D., Philadelphia, Pa.; T. H. Jackson, D. D., Little Rock, Ark.; M. Leonard Frazier, New York; R. C. Ransom, D. D., Boston.
D. D.—F. G. Snelson, Cambridge.
Mass.; R. A. Adams, Greenville, Miss.; John Harmon, Atlanta, Ga.
A. M.—W. G. Alexander, Atlanta, Ga.
Rev. R. D. Stinson, vice president of the college and financial agent, at the trustee meeting, put on the table over one thousand dollars, the amount raised by him for the education work, free from all expense. He was highly complimented. All the members of the faculty were re-elected.
Commencement night a missionary meeting was held in the tabernacle under the direction of Miss Laura P. Lemons, and presided over by President J. S. Flipper. Rev, W. G. Alexander made the opening address. The address of the evening was delivered by Charles Stewart, A. M., of Chicago, the newspaper correspondent. Bishop H. M. Turner delivered a short address. He declared that he had known Stewart as a writer for over 20 years, but had not known him as a speaker before. He highly complimented him on his address. Miss Laura Lemons is one of the most noted writers and missionary workers of her race in this country. She is doing a great work for her people.
SPECIAL TOURIST SLEEPERS.
An excursion rate has been announced for the Baptist Sunday School Congress and Young People's Chautauqua to be held in New Orleans, La., June 26 to July 1. The rate will be one fare plus 25 cents for the round trip. In other words from Nashville the fare will be $17.00 for the round trip. The tickets will be on sale June 24 and 25. All lines running in the Southeastern territory, which includes east of the Mississippi, south of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers, will sell tickets on this occasion. Tickets good to return leaving New Orleans up to and including night of July 1.
It is learned that a special Pullman tourist car has been secured for the occasion. Berths will be sold at $1.75. Two people can occupy one berth. The car will remain in New Orleans till the close of the Congress in order to bring the delegates back the same route for the same rate of fare.
It is already estimated that this New Orleans meeting will be the largest yet conducted by the Baptists in recent years. Nearly every Baptist minister in Nashville and many of the Sunday school workers, together with young people who contemplate taking a vacation, will possibly take in this trip.
CLOSING EXERCISES OF SCHOOL FOR THE-BLIND WERE SPLENDID.
The Colored Department of the school for the Blind gave its anniversary exercises 3 p.m., Tuesday, June 4. Supt. J. V. Armstrong and other members of the Board of Trustees were present, also a large number of patrons and friends.
Miss Sadie Elizabeth Wells, teacher of the music department, is confined to her bed at home on account of illness. Miss Minnie May Hunter, literary teacher, has worked very hard in her department, having also to take charge of the music department in the absence of Miss Wells. The program was very attractive and showed the result of faithful work and careful training. The exercises were indicative of the splendid work done in the school under the excellent principalship of Mrs. Susan Lowe, and we all wish for her a long life and many more years of usefulness and success. Bishop C. H. Phillips delivered the graduating address. Subject: "Dignity of labor." It was a very instructive address and full of hopefulness. The following program was rendered:
Jubilee Song—"I have another building," by Jubilee Club.
Invocation.
Duet—"True Friendship," by H. Ingraman, played by Lizzie Casey and Raymon Plummer.
Solo—"Friends that are good and true," by M. V. White, sung by Katie May Nichols.
Duet—March in B-flat, by C. Bohman, played by William Stump and William Street.
Essay—Perseverance, by Katie May Nichols.
Jubilee song—"Aint that good news," by the Jubilee Club.
Address—"Dignity of labor," Bishop C. H. Phillips.
Jubilee song—"Aln't I glad I got out of the wilderness," by Jubilee Club. Presentation of diplomas by president of board, Mr. Wm. V. Collier. Remarks by Supt. J. V. Armstrong. Song-Lead me gently homeward, by school. Closing exercises took place 7:30 Wednesday evening, June 5.
SUNDAY AT GREENWOOD.
Religious Exercises—Celebrating Children's Day.
The preparations to celebrate Children's Day at Greenwood Park, Sunday from 2 to 5 p. m. have been completed. As stated before in the columns of the Globe, thirty-one Baptist Sunday schools have been invited to participate in this celebration. There has been no stipulated way by which they are to reach the park. Some will

go in wagons, some in carriages, and still others on the street cars. And since there is no admission fee to the park, and the entire services are free, it is expected that a large attendance will be present if the weather is good. The Children's Day celebration will add no expense whatever to the children or their parents except their conveyance. The program, while it could not be obtained, will be one of interest. Good singing and able addresses will be delivered and the children will be given a religious outing at this beautiful resort. The churches have no special services in the afternoon. Hence the selection will not interfere with any of the regular services. The audience will not be composed only of Baptists. Hundreds of friends of various denominations will be in attendance, as the invitation is extended to all. Many will probably spend the entire day at the park.
ELABORATE DINNER.
ELABORATE DINNER.
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Frierson, of Glencliff, entertained at dinner Sunday.
The house was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and ferns. The table was decorated with American Beauties. A seven-course menu was served. Those present were Messrs. Frierson, Wilkerson, Dickerson and Misses F. J. Bowser, S. Harris, Lula Frierson, Sadio Frierson and L. Beatrice Stringer.
ENTERS BUSINESS
Mr. Milton Wright, of Chicago, but formerly of Nashville, has purchased a wood and coal yard. He also runs an ice wagon. Mr. Wright was in Nashville last July and purchased a home on Smiley street for his mother, Mrs. Millie Wright. Mr. Wright is a member of the police force of Chicago, and his beat is on the South side of that city. His cousin, Mr. Geo. Smith, Jr., will run the coal, wood and ice business for him. Mr. Smith left Saturday night for Chicago.

SALEM A. M. E. CHURCH.
One of the most interesting features of the season was that of the May festival given at the Church Thursday and Friday nights, May 23, 24. The church was artistically decorated with flowers ferns and plants with elaborate booths of amusements. Thursday night was a special night for children, which was spent in hours of pleasure. During which time a doll contest occurred. A large handsome doll and 50 cents in money were given to little Miss Suburban Scott as the successful winner of the prize.

MISS RUTH JONES ENTERTAINS.
On Wednesday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, Miss Ruth L. Jones entertained a number of her classmates at the home of her aunt, Miss Ruth Neely, 105 Maple street. The girls were received in the drawing room, where they spent the time in studying for the Science Examination at the Pearl High School. After the study hour, they were invited into the dining-room and were served with the delicacies of the season. The table was beautifully decorated with red and white, a large centerpiece embroidered in American Beauties being the most beautiful decoration.
Seated around the table were Misses Ophelia Alexander, Cornelia S. Bailey, Mary A. Cheers, Tabitha Claybrooks, Matilda Hargraves, Celia Henley, Hattie E. Hodgkins and Ruth L. Jones.
AFTERNOON TEA.
A tea which was unusually pretty in all its arrangements, was given from 3 to 6 Tuesday afternoon, by Mrs. John Crowder, in honor of Misses Jennie and Nina Porterfield. The shades were drawn throughout the house and the house lighted with pink and white candles, pink and white being the color scheme; in the reception room the candles were held in beautiful brass candlesticks, relics of the hostess' grandmother, Mrs. James Bradley. The rooms were also attractively decorated with illies, American Beauties, ferns, flags, carnations, peonies and roses.
The hostess and honoree were assisted in receiving by Mrs. Albert Ransom and Mrs. Wiley Anderson. Master Clarence Williams gracefully reveiced the guests at the door. An excellent programme was rendered. Tea, chocolate and confectionery were served from a handsomely set table with a centerpiece of mexion drawn work and a basket made of flowers was in the center of the table, each end of which was gleaming with silver.
The guest list included the following: Mesdames Wiley Anderson, Albert Ransom, Misses Maggie Hargraves, Matilda Hargraves, Daisy Murrell, Eva Murrell, Artie M. Ransom, Mary Bell Hill, Mary Agnes Cheers, Johnnie Denny, Anna Williams, Annie Rucker, Celia Henley.
CLUB MEETING.
The Wednesday Evening Pit Club met Wednesday, June 5, with Mr. and Mrs. Phineas Baker, of Eleventh avenue, North. Quite a pleasant evening was spent in games and music, after which the quests repaired to the spacious dining-room, where a delicious repast, consisting of cake, ices, fruit and punch, was served. The guest list included Mr. and Mrs. Will Young, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thorne, Mr. and Mrs. Phineas Baker, and little Miss Hazel E. Baker.

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 vessels.
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.

SNAKE IN CABBAGE.
Last Monday Mrs. Frank Moore, who lives at 908 Tenth avenue, North, thought that she would prepare a cabbage for dinner, and began making ready by first cleaning the leaves of the cabbage, and when about to cut them into small pieces, she was interrupted by a stringy substance to which was given but little attention, thinking it was a long root and a part of the cabbage. After the vegetable had been cleaned the supposed root became full of life and immediately coiled around the woman's wrist. She hurriedly decided it was a serpent of some kind and became frightened nearly to death. Upon investigation it was found that the creature was a large cabbage snake.

Holly Springs, May 31.—The educational mass meeting of the two Mississippi Conferences of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church was held here this week in connection with the second annual commencement of the Mississippi Theological and Industrial College, and more than three thousand dollars were raised to further the work of the institution. The erection of this institution furnishes the most complete and gratifying record of self-help yet exhibited by the race, and the particular striking fact is that Bishop Elias Cottrell, the presiding Bishop over the diocese of Mississippi, was able to marshal the Negroes in the C. M. E. Church into sufficient force to bring about such results.
The force of this statement can be well understood when it is known that of the $53,000 placed into this magnificent plant, less than $2,000 came from white people, and only $100 from outside the state of Mississippi.
There has been erected a magnificent girls' dormitory and administration building on the grounds at a cost of $38,000 and the boys' dormitory, to cost $12,500, is now in course of erection. The fact that every cent of money for the land and building was paid cash and there is now no indebtedness against the institution is beyond the ordinary.
At the mass meeting here strong addresses upon various phases of the race question were discussed by prominent men in the church, among them Rev. T. J. Moppins, Hopkinsville, Ky.; Rev. N. C. Cleaves, Columbia, S. C.; Rev. L. M. Bell, Little Rock, Ark.; Rev. H. E. Jones, Rayne, La.; A. R. Calhoun, Little Rock, Ark.; G. C. Rawlston, West Texas Conference; R. A. Carter, D. D., Augusta, Ga.; A. L. Jennings, Mississippi Conference; M. F. Jamison, East Texas Conference; G. F. Welch, North Alabama Conference; I. S. Person, D. D., West Tennessee Conference; L. H. Brown, D. D., Kentucky Conference; G. W. Mills, Alabama Conference; J. C. Staunton, North Carolina Conference; J. A. Winters, Southeast Missouri and Illinois Conference; John W. Gilbert, A. M. Commissioner of Education; Bishop R. S. Williams; and Bishop Charles B Galloway, Dr. J. H. Laprade and Dr J. D. Hammond, Secretary of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
The commencement, sermon was preached by the Rev. J. William Luckett, D. D., Nashville, Tenn., and the sermon to the Theological Department by Rev. I. S. Person, D. D., of Memphis. Undergraduate exercises were held at the institution Tuesday night, a prize contest being held among the students in the Preparatory Department. The joint program of the literary societies was held in the college auditorium Wednesday night, and the graduating exercises Thursday night, May 30th. The annual address was delivered by President Simon W. Broome, Texas College, Tyler, Texas. The graduates from the Preparatory Department being D. Moses Montgomery, Lexington, Miss., John E. Shipp, Banner, Miss., and Miss Roberta D. Payne, Millers, Miss.
The feature of the whole week's exercises was the vocal and instrumental music, more especially the rendition of plantation melodies, led by Miss Annie May Hodges, Lexington. The music department is under the direction of Mrs. C. Gillis, while Dr. Frank H. Rodgers, one of the best known educators in the South, is President of the institution.
In an address of some length, Bishop Cottrell, who has been the leader of the forces making the erection of this institution possible, recounted the sacrifices and struggles undergone in the work, and made a strong plea for the constant application of the doctrine of self-help in racial uplift. "With all respect and gratitude to those people of the North and South who have helped to elevate our people," said he, "that help which will do us more good and stay with us longer is that we do for ourselves." "Self Help" also was the subject of an intensely practical and instructive address from the Rev. T. J. Moppins.
CLARKSVILLE NOTES.
No pages of a nation's history are more interesting to its people than those which record the brave deeds of its citizen-soldiers, and no other people on the face of the earth has established so beautiful a custom as that which was contemplated by Decoration Day—the strewing of flowers over the graves of the departed warriors. On last Thursday in this city the annual Memorial Day features were observed by the aged and faithful men who had seen service during the Civil war.
The parade of old veterans, with Women's Relief Corps, and children, led by Cube Steele as marshal, wended its way through the principal streets of the city. Along the line of march silent tribute was paid to the survivors, as they marched in unsteady time. At the two cemeteries, the planting of small flags and strewing of flowers were the last acts of appreciation of the living to the dead. The Fifth Ward Baptist Church, under the pastorate of Rev. T. J. Goodall, Jr., is making rapid strides of as-
suming the leadership of the churches of the above named denomination. Improvement of the property is noticeable, and time of services changed to a more modern hour. Last week the May fair, under the direction of Mrs. Lula Bell, gave the entire membership a chance to assist in raising funds for beautifying this time-honored place.
The movement started by the alumni association for another school building in South Clarksville is gaining strength. Ministers, business men and citizens look askance at the crowded condition of the school term just closed. More than one hundred pupils were assigned to two teachers. As New York, Nashville, Cincinnati and several smaller cities are contemplating the increase of salary for the teachers, we have not as yet received an inkling of what this city thinks of its teaching force as to an increase.
The excursion fever is in evidence here. Last Sunday the Illinois Central carried a large number of persons to Louisville, and on Tuesday the Afro-American Business Club made it pleasant for its patrons, on the second annual outing to Dover and Fort Donelson. Next Tuesday the United Club promises the grandest effort ever made.
Upon the last night, the last hour and almost the last moment of the eventful month of May, while all nature was asleep and dreaming of the many happenings which had occurred during the allotted time just passing, there came another and a more potent sidelight, fitting as a final climax to the many incidents as noted in our last writing. He was nearing his home with not one thought uncertain, when peradventure another was beside him with a gentle request that his sixty-seven dollars were of no good service unless they began, at that very moment to circulate. They did not, however, until the first gentleman had witnessed Mars, Venus, Mercury, the satellites and lesser heavenly bodies at a close range. Of course, after the study of astronomy had dimmed somewhat he succeeded in getting home through the assistance of a neighbor. He had not continued to quote this, though the rhyme is questionable:
"Thirty days has September, April, June and November; All the rest have thirty-one," Except this month of May, Which has sixty-seven. Services over the remains of Mrs. Lizzie Scott, a former resident of this city, were held Tuesday at Wesley Chapel C.M.E.Church before a crowd of sorrowing friends. Interment at Golden Hill Cemetery. At this writing no teacher has been selected for the next scholastic year.
Prof. I. B. McCutcheon will be one of the instructors at the Middle Tennessee Teachers' Association to be held in this city about June 20th.

ANOTHER POSTMAN APPOINTED.
Mr. William D. Boger has been appointed a carrier on the local mail force. He began his term on the first of June. Mr. Boger, who is a Nashville boy and a graduate of the city High School, has been connected with the general offices of the N., C. & St. L. Ry., where his efficiency was recognized and shown by the general retreat expressed by the officials at the time he severed his connections with the company. All of these, however, expressed it as their opinion that if he gave Uncle Sam as capable service as he had the railroad company, there would be no doubt as to the success of the young man.
Mr. Boger is an active church worker, being superintendent of Lea Avenue Church Sunday School. He is also prominent in lodge and social circles, being an officer of the Railway men's Protective Association, the Knights of Pythias and the Algonquin Club.

Now since it looks as if winter is in the notion of leaving and the dear old dreary, sunny afternoons are to take its place, let some brainy man or men do something to amuse the thousands of other men, women and children, and at the same time let the attraction be wholesome and pleasing to all, or in other words, give them a "run for their money;" and as the people the world over of all races are stirred to the bottom over or about baseball, why not fall in line and select from the ten or more teams of the city the star players and have one good team, one that can hold its own against all comers? Get a team that the people may feel it their duty to support. Success is sure to follow. There is one thing which we hope will not be overlooked. This is the decency and the fitting of the suits, which has heretofore been neglected. The season is just open good, get them now, give them team and signal training, let the game be snappy and full of life, and above all, play by 1907 rules, with no squabbling. Carry the name of Nashville abroad and bring back the good wishes, plus the dollars, of other cities, then good teams will be induced to come here. It has often been said that there is no place to play. So far, that is true, but get a good team together and a park will be forthcoming, owned by and for the self-respecting Negroes of Nashville. Now let's see who will take the lead. Hurry! Time is moving.
A NEW TURF RECORD
Established by Jockey Lee in Riding Every Winner on Card.
Louisville, Ky., June 5.—A new record for the American turf was made to-day by Jockey J. Lee, when he rode every winner on the day's card at Churchill Downs. While one or two other jockeys have won as many races, six in a day's riding on tracks in this country, the previous ones did so when there were seven races on the card. Among his other victories of the day Lee piloted Wing Ting to victory in the Frank Fehr stakes. Hawkins' filly practically was straight at the finish and Lee's superb riding had something to do with the result. Lee lost ground on the first turn but soon assumed command, turning for the home run he was kept busy to stall off Envoy. Lee was wildly applauded, but he seemed to take little notice of his wonderful work of the afternoon.
First race, 5 furlongs, for 2-year-olds, selling—Bucket Brigade 102 (Lee), 7 to 1, won; Vanvel 99 (Dearborn), 16 to 1, second; Hollow 102 (Griffith), 1 to 2, third. Time, 1:01 4-5.
Second race, 6 furlongs, for 3-year-olds and up, selling—Mattie H 107 (J. Lee), 5 to 1, won; Mattie Mack 96 (J. Butler), 2 to 1, second; Attention 94 (E. Martin), 15 to 1, third. Time, 1:13 4-5.
Third race, 1 mile, selling, for 3-year-olds and up—Woolstone 104 (J. Lee), 3 to 1, won; Leo Bright 107 (D. Austin), second; Bernie Cramer 108 (Delaby), third. Time, 1:42 4-5.
Fourth race, 6 furlongs, for 3-year-olds and up, selling—Alencon 115 (J. Lee), 7 to 5, won; Artful Dodger 101 (D. Austin), 5 to 1, second; Haughty 113 (Bilac), 5 to 2, third. Time, 1:15 1-5.
Fifth race, 1 mile, Frank Fehr stakes, purse, $1,000 added for 3-year-olds and up—Wing Ting 102 (J. Lee), 7 to 10, won; Envoy 112 (Brown), 7 to 2, second; Lexoline 103 (D. Austin), 4 to 1, third. Time, 1:41 1-5.
Sixth race, 1 3-16 miles, for 4-year-olds and upward, selling—Foreigner 103 (J. Lee), 3 to 1, won; Trenola 110 (Austin), 3 to 1, second; Scalplock 103 (Dearborn), 2 to 1, third. Time, 2:22 4-5.
J. Lee proved conclusively last Wednesday that the Negro boy can do to-day what he has done in the past, and all he wants is a chance and a horse to ride.
ENTERTAINMENT.
