THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. "All things come to them that wait, providing they nustle while they wait."—Charles W. Anderson. "Get out of our sunshine."—R. E. Boyd. VOL. III. SO STATES RT. REV. TYREE WHO RECENTLY RETURNED. HAS MADE AN EXTENDED LECTURE TOUR—DELIVERED OVER TWENTY-FIVE LECTURES AND SERMONS WHILE AWAY—LARGE CROWDS THRONG TO HEAR THE DISTINGUISHED PRELATE IN PRINCIPAL VIRGINIA CITIES—UNITED COUNCILS OF BISHOPS ISSUE STRONG APPEAL—BISHOP TYREE CARRIES OFF PLATFORM HONORS. When Bishop Evans Tyree, of this city, alighted from the train in Columbus, Ohio, a few days ago he was the victim of a swarm of newspaper reporters. It had leaked out that he would be in the city, and as his name was used in connection with a resolution sent out from Washington to the effect that the Bishops of the three Methodist churches had passed a resolution denouncing Judge Taft and urging their constituents to support Senator Foraker. Replying to their questions, Bishop Tyree said: "When we went to Washington it was with the mutual understanding that it was simply to attend to the business which took us there, namely, that of forming a federation of the three branches of the Methodist Episcopal church of our race, and nothing else. We agreed that we would not mix up in the political situation now before the country. Nor did we. Not a word was said by anyone in that conference which could be construed as for or against any political candidate, notwithstanding these reports to the contrary. Any story that the conference took any action against Mr. Taft or for or against anyone, is maliciously false, and I think all of the 24 bishops who were there will bear me out in that." When asked to explain how the report got out, he told what he knew, but expressed a dislike to discuss subjects bordering on political controversies. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. "There were 24 bishops in the conference, representing the African Methodist Episcopal, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion and the Colored Methodist Episcopal churches," he said. "We were there to form a federation between the three churches. There were many who wanted us to take some stand for or against the various candidates for the presidency, but we refused to mix politics and our church affairs. Of course, many ministers from all parts of the country were attracted to Washington because of our meeting, and we realized the eyes of the country were on us. None of these ministers, except the 24 bishops, had anything to do with the conference. "We convened on the morning of Wednesday, the 12th. I discovered there was a meeting of perhaps 50 or more colored ministers being held in the basement simultaneously with our session. I suspected there was some trickery and an attempt to drag politics into our meeting, so I said to Bishop Gaines: 'That meeting down there ought to be investigated,' and explained to him what I suspected it was for. He at once started down to rout them out, but they heard him coming and fled, most of them passing him on the stairs. He found nothing, but the next day the papers were full of the report that we had denounced the candidacy of Judge Taft. I can not help to believe but that it was done to embarrass us, seeing that we had steadfastly refused to permit political issues to be made a part of our meeting. "But I say to you again that it was not the conference of the bishops called them to form that federation between the three churches of my people which adopted these resolutions. We had nothing to do with it." HAD NO AUTHORITY. It was suggested to Mr. Tyree that the basement meeting was a "jump" convention. He said, "I guess so, but I don't know anything about political terms. All I know is that it was not our convention and was not authorized to act for the bishops, whatever our personal feelings may be." When asked as to the general feeling among the colored people as to the candidacy of Judge Taft, he said he did not know; that he kept out of politics, simply contenting himself with exercising his franchise right to vote, and seldom heard any discussion. The distinguished prelate reached home Monday night of this week, after having delivered over twenty lectures and sermons in the principal cities in the state of Virginia. He also attended the United Council of Bishops which recently held a session in Washington. He carried off the honors of the day in a fifteen-minute platform speech. He said in part: "We are in the midst of a love-feast of rare character. We are here as workers, and we feel with you the pulsations which are brought about by the many things which surround us. What does a man amount to who does not have to contend with opposition. Opposition brings out the manhood. We have been in a struggle for 300 years, and let us continue and we will reach the goal after awhile. I am not discouraged. The Negro who has been asleep on the cotton bale for a number of years is now waking up. We are getting together, and if the colored people don't get together we will hang apart. Clear the forest, and let us begin in earnest race building, having as the corner-stone truth, obedience, industry and politeness. "The work which began forty-four years ago is now beginning to show up. We are getting away from the foundation and it is this which is causing so much talk now. We are a happy people. We have been singing all of our lives, but we have learned that while we sing we must build. I know we live in a country where a senator of the United States can go through the country boasting of killing Negroes like brutes, but I believe in truth and justice and God, and with these right will prevail. Some of our enemies advocate closing the Negro schools and sending the Negro into the field. A Senator from Texas said this, and the African Methodists in Texas put on the table for education $11,000 in one day. We are now being shod with the preparation of the gospel to meet the occasion." The joint Council of Bishops issued the following appeal: As the chief pastors of the A. M. E., A. M. E. Zion and C. M. E. churches, assembled in Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America, we send greetings to our communicants in particular and the race in general. We desire to render thanks to Almighty God for having preserved us in the midst of racial opposition for about three hundred years, and for the marvelous progress we have been enabled to achieve. We congratulate the race upon the religious, moral, intellectual, and financial advancement that has been made, in spite of great difficulties and felicitate ourselves in the splendid showing of our progress in the churches, our schools, our numerous homes and institutions. "We are thankful to the friends, North, South, East and West, who have aided us in any degree in reaching our present stage of advancement. We congratulate ourselves upon this great religious movement which has brought us together. One is reminded of the religious convocations of other centuries, the convocations of the Christian Church, Councils in which Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus, Jerome, Oregin, Cyprian, Augustine, Tertullian and the early Fathers sat: great men, pious men, zealous men who shaped the destiny of the Christian Church, so far as its doctrine and its Ecclesiastical polity was concerned. "We, too, are shaping the destiny of the great African Church which is to be one of the largest and most influential which the world has ever seen. America will only be the home of this great church; but Africa is to be the scene of the greatest operations. May the good Lord help us to realize our responsibility and our duty to this future church. "We hail with delight the tidal wave of temperance now sweeping over the country, and feel assured that our race will not be the least among its beneficiaries and promoters. We heartily commend all efforts being made to rid our common country of the rum traffic; and we pledge this righteous movement our hearty support, and take this occasion to urge our people, especially, those who are qualified to vote, to give the cause their united support until this evil is driven from the land. (Continued on Page 7.) VOTE DOWN EVERY RESOLUTION OFFERED BY MR. FORAKER. THE SHADOW OF THE BIG STICK FRIGHTENS MEMBERS OF COMMITTEE—ACTING BY ORDERS—THAT POLITICS IS PLAYING STRONG PART IN THEIR DELIBERATIONS BELIEVED ON EVERY HAND—CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE OFFERS ILLUSIVE RESOLUTION—SEEMS TO BE CATSPAW FOR THE ADMINISTRATION. Washington, D. C., February 26.—The senate committee on military affairs, that has been investigating or probing the Brownsville "shoot up," which occurred August 13 and 14, 1906, had a three hours' session to-day. The result of the meeting was the introduction of several resolutions—a majority of them by Senator Foraker, who in a masterly way produced one resolution after another, completely routing the administration forces and forcing the administration supporters to abandon the republicanism of the old party and take refuge in the ranks of the democrats. In other words, it is evident from the proceedings, as well as the vote, that the President has entered into a compact with the democratic members of the committee, and taking with him three republicans to unhold his action in dismissing without honor the three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. It is apparent that these five democrats and three republicans have agreed to assist the President in changing the jurisprudence in this particular instance. The several votes of the committee, although refusing to exonerate the soldiers, fall short of fixing the blame upon any member of the company, or even upon the three companies. There is not a shadow of evidence adduced from the thousands of type-written pages that will show that even one member of the company participated in the Brownsville "shoot-up." It can be heard on all sides that a more dastardly attack upon the citizen's rights and the good record of a people could be made than this kangaroo trial indulged in by the committee. It is a complete Foraker victory. The five democratic members were not expected at any time and under any circumstances to vote for anything that would favor the Negro or give him a semblance of justice, but it was expected that the republicans, whom the Negro has supported since the sixties, would at least follow the line of the jurisprudence. "All men are supposed to be innocent until their guilt has been established beyond a shadow of a doubt." Hence, out of the eight republican members on the committee, five of them voted in favor of the Negro soldiers, and if party lines are to be looked at, or if the affair is to be looked at from the republican viewpoint, the members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry stand exonerated. The vote to-day confirms the susicion expressed here in Washington time and again, that President Roosevelt had entered into an agreement during the rate bill with the democrats, knowing that as he would not be a candidate for the third term, he would not only block the republicans' chances for victory, but would practically deliver the highest gift of the nation (the President's office) to the democrats, rather than yield it to a worthy republican. In fact, a close observation will convince the most sketical mind that the different moves made, are leading in this direction. The personnel of the democratic members on the committee does not indicate a very statemanlike line up. Frazier, from Tennessee, a practically new man without a polio or a platform the creature of a snakeous nomination, and the mammar of "limenow" departments in the Volunteer State sustained the administration. The three republicans are not believed to be sincere, but are simply working for the administration. They will no doubt support Senator Foraker's resolutions if they come up in the senate after the committee is discharged. In the three hours session of the committee to-day, quite a number of resolutions were offered. Senator Lodge offered a resolution as follows: "That in the opinion of this committee the shooting affray in Brownsville on the night of Aug. 13-14, 1906, was done by some of the soldiers belonging to the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry then stationed at Fort Brown, Texas." Senator Foraker offered as a substitute the following: "The testimony wholly fails to identify the individuals, or any of them who participated in the shooting affray." The Foraker substitute was defeated by a vote of 8 to 5, the affirmative being Scott, Foraker, Hemenway, Bulkeley and Dupont. The negative were Warren, Lodge, Warner, Taliafero, Foster, Overman, Frazer and McCreary. The last five named are Democrats. The alignment substantially was the same on most of the substitutes offered. The Lodge resolution formally was adopted by the same decision, except that Senator Dupont did not vote, making three Republicans and five Democrats in favor of supporting the discharge of the Negroes and four Republicans of record against it. The other Foraker substitutes were as follows: "The testimony wholly fails to show that the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry, or any of them, entered into any agreement or so-called conspiracy of silence or that they had among themselves any understanding of any nature to withhold any information of which they or any of them might be possessed concerning the shooting affray." Five Senators voted for and eight against the resolution. "The testimony is so contradictory, and much of it so unreliable that it is not sufficient to sustain the charge that soldiers of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry or any of them participated in the shooting affray." The affirmative votes were four and the negative nine, Senator Dupont joining the latter. "The weight of the testimony shows that none of the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry participated in the shooting affray." Only Senator Foraker and Bulkeley voted for this resolution and eleven Senators opposed it. The final substitute offered by Senator Foraker declared that the testimony showed discharged men had a good record as soldiers and that it is the duty of Congress to pass legislation providing for their reinstatement in the army. It was defeated by five yeas and eight nays. PRESIDENT SUSTAINED. Senator Dupont's substitute declared that the testimony showed the shots were fired from Springfield rifles is issued to Company B, Twenty-fifth Infantry. In effect, it asserted the innocence of Companies C and D, both of which were discharged with Company B. Only the author of the resolution and one other Senator voted for its adoption. Senator Scott's resolution declared the evidence insufficient to hold guilty any particular person or persons and the identity of the guilty parties unknown. It was defeated nine to four. There being no further substitutes offered, the original resolution was adopted. Senator Warner then offered the following resolution: "That the testimony fails to identify the particular soldier or soldiers who participated in the shooting afray." It was agreed to by a vote of eight yeas, five Republican Senators opposed to the Lodge resolution not voting. A democratic senate or an entirely democratic committee would have been more unanimous in their report, because when a Texas grand jury refuses to find a bill against a Negro or set of Negroes, there certainly can be no evidence, and, too, when all the officers of the company were exonerated by court-martial, there is no doubt about the innocence of the companies at large. Had these soldiers been court-martialed before they were dismissed without honor, they would have been exonerated, and the country would not have been burdened this long with what is commonly known as "The Brownsville Affair." BISHOP TYREE AT ST. PAUL. Quarterly meeting will be held at St. Paul A. M. E. Church on Sunday, March 1. The Rt. Rev. Bishop Evans Tyree, D. D., will worship at St. Paul all day and will preach on Sunday night. The Lord's Supper will be administered at the night service. No. 8. THE HEAD WEARING THE CROWN SHOWS SIGNS OF UNREST. MONEY FOR EDUCATION OF NEGRO YOUTH GOING IN WRONG CHANNEL—HON. J. C. NAPIER GOES TO MAKE INVESTIGATION STATE OFFICIALS SHOWN UP IN BAD LIGHT—NEARLY $100,000 DUE NEGROES OF TENNESSEE COMMITTEE E DETERMINED THAT JUSTICE BE HAD IN THE MATTER—MORRELL FUND FOR ALL RACES. "Constant dropping of the water wears away the stone." This is becoming evident more and more each day, as one sums up the trend of affairs along the educational lines in Tennessee. More than a year ago an agitation was begun concerning the proper distribution of the Morrell fund, the Slater fund, the Peabody fund and Tennessee's part in contributing to the education of the Negro youth of this state. At last it seems that some one that knows how, some one that is really interested in the proper distribution of these funds, and in the necessary appropriations needed from the state in this direction, will inquire into the matter. The fact that Mr. J. C. Napier is now in New York to attend the meeting of the board of trustees of the Anna T. Jeanes' fund, which was in session there this week, should not be overlooked. Mr. Napier left the city Tuesday night. He went directly to Knoxville, where he held a special conference with the President of the University of Tennessee, and where he was met in the conference by Mr. J. H. Dillard, the traveling representatives of the Anna T. Jeanes' fund, and late dean of the Tulane University, located in New Orleans. It is not known just what the result of this conference was, but it is known that the University of Tennessee is now and has been for some time receiving Tennessee's part of the Morrell fund, only a small portion being transferred to the Knoxville College to promote the agricultural and mechanical art. None of the Slater fund has ever been divided according to the wishes of the donors. Mr. Napier's conference in Knoxville with the President of the University of Tennessee, in company with Mr. Dillard, was principally to inquire into and ascertain what part of these funds this school is receiving. He also stopped over in Washington to attend the national meeting of state superintendents, which was in session there this week and at which Prof. Jones, the superintendent of education for this state was also in attendance. Mr. Napier called upon the national educational board in the further interest of educational work in Tennessee, as none of the schools run for Negroes are being considered in these appropriations. Whether Mr. Napier took this stand before the national educational committee was not given out, because in his statement to a Globe reporter he only said that he would go to Knoxville and Washington en route to New York, the principal object for his trip to New York being the Anna T. Jeanes' fund board meeting. But he stated if he could do any good, and he was indeed interested, he would not hesitate to put Tennessee's claim in and push it. He deplored the fact that there was not a state school for the Negro youth in this state, and he remarked that it was worse than a shame that every state in the South boasted of its state school for Negroes except Tennessee. Some states, he declared, had or supported two state schools. Mr. Napier expected to return to the city Monday or Tuesday. Mrs. Harriet Morgan, who was injured by a fall a month or so ago, has fully recovered. She left the city Monday morning for Birmingham, Ala., where she will remain until April or May. Mrs. Morgan will spend the summer in Michigan. COMMUNION SETS. VESSELS WITH WHICH TO ADMINISTER THE LORD'S SUPPER.

ROGER WILLIAMS NOTES Both teachers and students were very much elated at being paid a visit Monday by Dr. Alfred Owen, who for a number of years was president of Roger Williams University. Though not as strong, perhaps, physically as he used to be, he appears bright and scholarly as ever—maybe more so—as was shown in a brief address he made before the faculty and student body, in which he warned the students against attempting to go through cart-loads of books at the expense of mastering a few, and he reiterated the universal fact that there is no progress without an effort on the part of the individual; and commended in the mean time the heroic struggles that we are making here. Not only is Roger Williams indebted to him; but a few others of his class and race, for their contribution of moral and mental culture, during the years since the Civil War. Mindful of that, our best wishes certainly attend him with the hope that a number of years still may be spared him to enjoy the fruits of his earthly labor. To him and others of the friends of Roger Williams, the latchstring hangs on the outside. March Rhetoricals are approaching, On March 10 the winter term ends, and spring term begins, with a holiday sandwiched in. The banks of the Cumberland are beginning to re-echo as well as the chapel to resound with the oratory and elocution of normals and academics, who will stand before the foot lights on that auspicious evening, March 10. Mrs. Hettie Kelly, the sister of our Matron, Mrs. I. H. Hampton, and mother of one of our students, Miss Edna Kelly, visited us Sunday afternoon and was with us in our Sunday evening chapel exercises. Mr. Givings, of Walden University, visited us Tuesday and took dinner with us. We are glad to welcome students from our sister institutions at any time. We are glad to welcome Miss Eva London, from Cornersville, Tenn., who reached here a week ago. Miss London will pursue a course of study in this institution. The institution is very grateful to Mrs. E, L. Hickman for the delicious desert which she gave us Friday as a valentine. The students are entertaining the same enthusiastic spirit in athletics 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. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CALL OR WRITE THE CHURCH SUPPLY DEPARTMENT MOUNT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL. The Mount Olive Baptist Sunday School opened Sunday, February 23, promptly at 9:30 o'clock, by the superintendent, Mr. James Hurt. There were 205 pupils present. After song service the classes began the study of the lesson, which was "Jesus at the Pool of Bethesda." When the thirty minutes of class study was over, the lesson was re- viewed by Rev. C. H. Clark. Dr. C. V. Roman, who was among the visit- ors present was introduced to the school and made a most interesting talk, leaving an indelible imprint of the doctrine of "Stickability." As Sunday, February 23, had been set apart for rally day, much interest was manifested as to the results of the labors of teachers, scholars and friends for the pecuniary benefit of the school. The sum of $48.12 was raised. The teacher of Class No.16, Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, received the crown which was to be given to the teacher of the class raising the largest amount of money. This class raised $9.50. The classes of Deacon Martin and Rev. Dr. Clark also did excellent work. Deacon Martin offered to the member of his class bringing the largest amount of money a Bible, which was won by Mr. R. L. King. Although fourth in the race, Mr. L. S. Gray's class, which is composed of little girls from 8 to 12 years of age, deserves special mention. The school wishes to thank little Miss Katie A. Boyd, who made the crown, which was won by the victorious class. Tuesday night through the inclement weather came the teachers and a number of officers and pupils, with the pastor to the regular weekly meeting. The meeting opened with prayer and the lesson for Sunday, March 1. "Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand," was discussed and many points were brought out that proved helpful to all present. FIGHT AT MERCY HOSPITAL Some words about some work between John Bryant and John Jackson on the premises of Mercy Hospital resulted in Jackson striking Bryant over the head with a hoe, inflicting injuries from which he is now in a dangerous condition. Jackson made his escape. Bryant is 18 years old. Jackson is a plasterer and was employed to do some work at the hospital.

GONE TO HIS REWARD: Mr. Ernest Norris, a young man 28 years of age, after having suffered severely some four or five months, departed this life at the home of his father, 433 Houston street, Monday afternoon, February 24. Just before his death he remarked, "I am ready and willing to go." His remains were carried to Winchester for interment, accompanied by his wife, father and three sisters. Miss Anna Norris, the bairdresser of St. Louis, also a sister of the deceased, did not reach the city in time for the funeral, owing to the failure of trains to make connections. MR. BURFORD RETURNS. Mr. Russell D. Burford, son of Mr. Lawson Burford, Sr., and brother of Mrs. G. W. Gibson, a young man well known in the social circles, arrived in the city from Chicago last Sunday morning. It will be remembered that he left here last February. He returns well satisfied, as he has visited the most important cities of the East and West and also Canada. He spent Christmas in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Mr. Burford took advantage of an opportunity to visit the gold mines of Mexico. While in that country he had several thrilling experience with mountain, lions and grizzly bears. With little knowledge and creatures, "There is no place like home." CARD OF THANKS.

Every boy likes to have money in his pocket. Sometimes he is ashamed to ask papa for it, because he knows papa will say he don't need any money. Often you don't need it, but you want it just the same. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE has made it possible for any boy who has a will to work an hour or so each day can make his own money. If you sell 100 copies of THE GLOBE you will have $2.50. If you sell 50 copies of THE GLOBE you will have $1.25. It is EASY MONEY--Come and get it boys.

All who are taking the paper quarterly are now receiving notice to settle their accounts. If the same are not paid by March 15, their names will be dropped from our list.

"Evangelistic Temperance" was the subject of an able, eloquent and helpful sermon by Rev. W. S. Ellington, pastor of First Baptist Church, Spruce Street, last Sunday. The speaker ridiculed the idea that the curse pronounced by Noah upon his son, Ham, has clung to the latter's descendants through all the ages from then till now. He clearly showed the absurdity of imputing to God the carrying out of the wrathful curse of a maddened old man, but partially recovered from a drunken spree. He said that the Negro people should guard themselves against the evil and runoun effects of intemperance. He said that at last the liquor traffic, the monstrous, evil of the times, the deserter of lives and homes, the blighter of hopes and character, the arch-enemy of mankind, has been arraigned before the bar of public opinion with all of its uncovered sins upon its head and its days were numbered. By many it was considered one of the most instructive and powerful sermons the pastor has delivered for a long time. Rev. Ellington, by special request of some young men, will deliver a sermon Sunday, March 1, on the subject "The Prodigal Son." PRIZE WON. Last Monday night there was quite an event among the members and friends of the Kayne Avenue Baptist Church, not because Prof. Hynes, with his great Fantasmagoria would be there, for everyone knows of his shows and have the greatest confidence in what he says; but the excitement was caused by the friends of the ticket sellers, each striving to have his friend become the recipient of the prize, which was a handsome gold watch. Mrs. J. C. Maddux was the lucky contestant. WEDDINGS. Jackson—Jamlaon. Mr. John Jackson and Mrs. Ella Jamison were married on Tuesday, February 18, at 1522 Fourteenth avenue, North, by Rev. Albert Porter, pastor of Fifteenth avenue Baptist Church. Davis—Thompson. Miss Katie Thompson and Mr. Samuel H.

On Thursday, February 20, was witnessed one of the most beautiful weddings that ever took place in Nashville. The nuptial ties were between Mr. Lindsley Foster and Miss Willie May Mathews at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. John Mathews, No. 1018 Seventh avenue, North. Rev. C. H. Boone officiated. The ceremony was performed under a wedding bell. The couple marched into the parlor to the sweet strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march. Several friends were present to witness the marriage. The contracting parties were the recipients of many useful presents. The menu was very elaborate. The evening was spent with much pleasure, especially in music and song. The bride is a sister of Misses Mattie' and Novela Mathews and Mrs. Maggie Abston. The future home of the happy pair is at 609 Ewing avenue. Oden—Armstrong. A quiet but beautiful home wedding was that of Mr. Dave Oden and Miss Samuell Armstrong. While the sweet strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march was played by Miss Sadie Harding, who was charming in a gown of organdy over a pink foundation. The bridal party entered, consisting of the bride, Miss Samuella Armstrong, the maid of honor, Miss Hetty Fowler, the groom, Mr. Dave Oden, and the best man, Mr. Dave Boxley. The ceremony was performed by Rev. C. H. Clark, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church The bride was beautiful in her gown of organdy with lace trimmings over silk and lace and carried in her hand a bouquet of white carnations. The maid of honor wore a gown of organdy with lace trimmings. Her bouquet was of pink carnations. After the ceremony cake and cream were served in abundance. The presents were many and useful and bespoke the high esteem in which the bride and groom were held, Mr. and Mrs. Oden will reside at their cozy home, 923 Sixteenth avenue, North. GRAND LECTURER VISITS CITY. Before the largest audience that has ever greeted him on an official visit to Nashville, Col. J. Milton Easterling, Grand Lecturer of the Knights of Pythias, delivered his annual lecture at the Pythian Temple, Wednesday night. The Castle Hall was full filled and as the eloquent Col. Easterling delivered his address, he was accorded rapt attention. The lecture was by far the best effort made by Col. Easterling in this line, and his auditors showed their appreciation of the many practical suggestions by frequent applause. Following the lecture short talks were made by the following Grand Lodge officers: Dr. J. P. Crawford, Dr. R. F. Boyd, Dr. A. M. Townsend, Prof. A. T. Hill, Prof. W. F. Reynolds, Capt. R. E. Gee. Dr. Boyd seemed to voice the sentiment of the whole gathering for he was greeted with tumultuous applause, when he said that if Col. Easterling was delivering the same high class lecture in other parts of the state and thereby helping to build up all branches of the Order, he hoped the Colonel would be re-elected year after year to his position. Col. Easterling and Secretary of the Endowment Board, Prof. A. T. Hill, of Pulaski, left each for his home city early Thursday morning. WILLING WORKERS' CLUB The Willing Workers Club met in regular session last Monday night at the residence of Miss Lucy Donaldson, Thirteenth avenue, South.

TYREE AT HOME AGAIN. Rev. Herman F. Tyree, of Hillsboro, Texas, reached the city a few days ago in company with his mother. The brilliant young minister has been sick in Texas since December, and despite his heroic efforts to hold up and stay at his post of duty, he was compelled to give up and come home to regain his strength. His many friends will rejoice to learn that he is convalescent, and hope for him a complete restoration of health. Mrs. Edna Jones entertained her daughter, Samantha, with a birthday party at the home of Mrs. Wilson, 544 Ramsey street, last Wednesday. ```markdown ``` The members of the ladies' Guild of Holy Trinity Church held their first annual bazaar this week at the Odd Fellows' Auditorium, Fourth avenue, North. Every preparation was made for its pleasure and entertainment. The ladies had been sewing for the past few weeks making all sorts of useful articles to be put on sale. There was a large assortment of plain and fancy sewing. One night each was devoted to the entertainment of the Meharry, Fisk and Pearl High School students. The first night was disagreeable, yet an encouraging attendance was present. The other two nights the attendance was large and the results of the entertainment gratifying. The proceeds from the bazaar are to be used for the expenses of the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church.* The general public and friends of Christian education and endeavor joined in making this new departure in the life of Nashville Episcopalians a complete success.

BISHOPS FALSELY REPRESENTED (Continued from Page 1.) As Fathers of the churches represented, we advise that in public and private places, and in common carriers our people so deport themselves as becometh true Christians, to the end, that favorable public sentiment may be created in our interest. BACIAL MATTERS. We, the Bishops of the A. M. E., A. M. E. Zion and C. M. E. churches take occasion as the religious leaders of about two million communicants in America, and a following of over five millions, to address ourselves to the Christianity and justice of the white people of the nation in respect to the rights and wrongs of our race. To enumerate the evil, social, moral, judicial and political injustices that today, exasperate and annoy the members of our race would be a hard task. We do not make for our people any claim that they are better than other Send all orders to classes or race groups of the citizens of the republic. Nor yet do we assent to the imputation that they are worse than any other, and that they compose in your midst an alien race in the land where they have lived and labored and loved for about three hundred years. We speak the same language; we obey the same laws; we read the same books; we worship with you the same God; we have no blood in our veins which has not been American for centuries. This blood we have shed freely with you for our common country in four separate wars. We fought side by side with you in the war for American Independence at Lexington and Bunker Hill; in the war of 1812 under Jackson at New Orleans; under Perry at Lake Erie; in the war to save the Union in 1861 under Lincoln and Grant and Butler and Farragut; and in the war to free Cuba under McKinley, Dewey and Schafer. In these great struggles, we never flinched nor fouled, but struck with our might on land and sea the embattled lines of our nation's foes. We are Americans by right of birth, by the blood shed, by the service we have freely given to achieve the independence and to preserve the life of the republic against foreign and domestic enemies. We are citizens of the United States under the supreme law of the land, entitled as much to equality of civil and political rights as all other men before the law. We have, therefore, rights, sacred rights under the Constitution of our common country, such as the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The same—no more, no less—that white men possess: and, too, a voice in the government, state and national, exactly as other citizens enjoy. We do not ask at your hands any special favors: we ask at the bar of this Christian nation nothing to which we are not entitled under the law and Constitution. We ask only for that which belongs to us as a right, for justice, for equality of freedom, of action and opportunity before the law and in the industrial life of the land, North and South alike. We ask for fair treatment, that we may, like other races, make the most and best of ourselves: that we may rise and fall on our merit like other men in the political and industrial life of the Republic. We can not do this unless we and our children are given equal opportunity with other people to get an education at the public expense: unless we are given an equal voice with all classes in making the laws: unless our laborers are given equal chance to obtain with all other laboring classes in the industrial system of the nation. These things are not only necessary to the highest good of our race but to the highest good of our country as well: for he it forever borne in mind by all, white and black alike, that the free and most intelligent labor is the most productive. This, also, is a truth worth remembering: namely: that a labor class in an industrial republic like ours, deprived of the right to vote, or a voice in the government is at the mercy of the laboring classes which possess that right and that voice: indeed, at the mercy of the privileged. Now, tadly as this race leader as a labor class needs the ballot, needs education at the public expense, needs industrial opportunities to sell its labor freely like other labor classes in the Republic, in the South, by one device or another, it is almost universally deprived of the right to vote. In many cases, our children are denied equal school privileges, and the whole race in the North and in the South is deprived of equal industrial freedom to obtain work with other labor classes. We regret the fact that wherever this race turns, that it is restricted within certain narrow limits by the "color line." It is "thus far" in the North, and "thus far" in the South. It hears this hostile, this terrible "no farther" North and South, alike. This Christian Republic cannot with safety look on with indifference at this state of affairs. The teachings of Christ are opposed to the treatment we are receiving both in the North and South. We are told that we are the weaker, the infant race. If true, then we should be treated as the stronger should treat the weaker, and the mother the infant. Indeed, the stronger should bear the infirmities of the weak. We appeal to the friends of humanity to use their influence to rid the glorious country of mob violence, which is sending so many to an untimely grave. We appeal to all who believe in fairplay to assist us in banishing from our land the peonage and the convict labor system, which are degrading and destroying the very vestige of manhood, and relegating them to the most galling serfdom. We appeal to the liberty loving men in authority to lend us their assistance by influence, by legislation for the removal of the "Jim Crow" car laws which have placed a stigma upon the noblest and the best of the race, from the Bishops of the church to the humblest—while at the same time, we are required to pay the same fare for inferior accommodation. We appeal to the Judges of the Supreme Court to annul laws in violation of the Federal Constitution: to members of the legislature of the several Southern States where disfranchisement laws have been enacted; and to the Congress of the United States to repeal the enactments which have robbed us of the rights guaranteed to us by the Federal Constitution which were gained upon the field of conquest by blood shed by black men as well as white men. As leaders of the people, we finally appeal for all the rights guaranteed to the citizens of this great republic. Bishops:—J. W. Hood, L. H. Hosley, H. M. Turner, T. H. Lomax, W. J. Gaines, I.

MRS, W. J. LIGON, MRS. L, PATTON. MRS. M. GRAY. COMPLIMENTARY TOA. N, JOHN: SON. ‘The people of Nashville appreciate excelient service, such as our popular undertaker, Hon. A, N. Johnson, has been giving them. Recently he has conducted with complete satisfaction some of the most elegant funerals in the history of Nashville, and on each occasion has been the recipient of praise from those whom he served, a8 well as those who are wont to observe. His embalming has been a subject of wide comment, because the like has not been seen before. The lifelike ap- pearance is always commented upon with highest praise. Mr. Johnson has paid no attention to the little “knocks” of some, merely stating that he has no time to quarrel and attend to his busi- ness, too. He has so far out distanced competition until it is not a question of comparison but of difference, until an opposition put forth the rumor that for such fine funeral cars, carriages and service the prices must be pro- portionately. higher; but the people wanted the Johnson kind of service and lo and behold instead of being higher, the only higher thing was the quality of his service. Failing in this they gave it out that he did not do so- ciety work. When approached, Mr. Johnson stated that he was here to serve societies, or anybody else, who wanted the best service, and was no respecter of persons in service. His business has been steadily on the increase from the first week and |his success is assured in Nashville. Even the children in the street know his horses, funeral cars, carriages everywhere they see them, and they |are a credit to the colored race. His | Ladies’ Waiting Rooms are more large- _|ly used and appreciated by our ladies, |who care to rest while down in the |eity. He is about the busiest man in '|the city and still he finds time to lend ‘|his talent in assisting in chureh af- fairs throughout the city, and his gen- \eral polite deportment and courteous ‘|treatment to our people in all walks _jof life are making for him a large number of friends and supporters. ‘| Mr. Johnson originates and designs ‘|most of his high-class caskets and '/they are noted for their elegance in ‘\style and proportion, and the public 1)marvel at the splendid funerals he -| produces at such moderate prices. He 1} «ives his personal attention to every -| detail of the business, day and night ‘}and does not delegate to others the y|funerals, but kindly, gently and with 1}love and grace dignifies the service ir 1|a manner such as was never seen be » | fore. / He has presented to thousands o our homes an artistic calendar, got ten out under his direction, by the Na tional Baptist. Publishing House, whicl the people appreciate to a large extent When a man accomplishes himsel ,|in every detail of a business until hi is justly called an artist; when h has the capital and employs it to th | extent of such elegant equipage; wher , |he is reasonable in his prices, affable "| yet firm, in his service—in fact, a lead q| er of his profession, it is up to the pec |.|ple whether they will support such | Man. Such a man is A. N. Johnsor and the people are giving him mor t | Support than he anticipated. * | Just so certain and sure is death- just so certain and sure is the fac ©|that A. N. Johnson gives you the mo: ©! complete and satisfactory service i Y-| funeral service. Phone, Main 763. O P fice, 423 Cedar street.* H. T. G. M. CLUB. Miss Esther Pinkard entertained the’ H. T. G.
