Church. GREAT MEETING ANTICIPATED LARGE DELEGATION. THE HISTORIC VIRGINIA CITY PUTTING ON ITS BEST TO ENTERTAIN THE GUESTS—BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH MAKE UP THE DELEGATIONS—SOME OF THE BEST SCHOLARS IN THE COUNTRY REPRESENTED IN THIS BRANCH OF METHODISM—ELECTION OF BISHOPS AND GENERAL OFFICERS A SPECIAL FEATURE. On the fourth day of next May there will assemble in the city of Norfolk, Va., a body of men that cannot be excelled in the world in their respective fields of labor. Men who have labored hard and at great sacrifice for the uplift of humanity; men who have made marks in life that would do honor to any potentate or king. The city of Norfolk has never been more highly honored than it will be when it opens its arms and receives these heroes for the spreading of the kingdom of Christ. These churchmen represent that manhood of the Negro race that knows no fear as long as they are convinced that they are in the right. They are always ready to take their stand in the thickest of the fight and sacrifice all for the race. These ministers and church workers meet for a three weeks' session. During that time they will review the work of the past four years. Some will have glowing reports to make while others will have stories full of sadness, but all will report efforts in the endeavor to better the human family. Every state and territory will be represented, and also the several conferences in Africa, the West Indies and South America. Some sixty odd conferences compose the General Conference with a representation of nearly a thousand delegates. All changes in the law of the church are made by this body, when any are made. The Bishop and General officers are elected, and all business of the church is given a careful scrutiny by this law-making body. From all reports, there a large number of competent men for most every elective office, and a hot fight is anticipated when the time arrives for election. It seems to be the general opinion that at least four bishops will be elected. Prominent among the candidates for the high honor is Dr. W. D. Chappelle of this city, who is at the head of the Sunday-school department of his church. Dr. Chappelle stands well among the business men of Nashville. He has been conducting the Church Sunday-school printing plant here for eight years and has made a great record. It is generally conceded that he will be elected on the first ballot. Quite a large delegation will go from Nashville. Among the number will be the following: Rev. B. G. Gordon, leader of the State delegation; Dr. A. Lewis and wife; Rev. A. L. Pinkston and wife; Mr. D. A. Hart, Manager of The Nashville Globe; Dr. T. W. Haigler, presiding elder of the Nashville District of the Tennessee Annual Conference: Mrs. E. Tyree and Dr. W. D. Chappelle and wife. Bishop Tyree will go direct from Texas, as he will not have time to make the trip to the Lone Star State, which compris a portion of the Tenth Episcopal District over which he presides and join Mrs. Tyree and the party leaving this point. Arrangements are under way to secure a private sleeper or tourist car in order that the delegates can make the long trip comfortably. The most of those who contemplate going are in favor of the tourist car, with kitchen attached. In this way the party will be enabled to have tea and coffee with their lunch. This session of the General Conference promises to attract widespread attention in many respects. Many NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1908. M. REV. W. S. ELLINGTON, A. B. important things will come up before this body for settlement, and one, that is being as much discussed as any, is the management of the Sunday-school printing department located in this city. This department was organized in 1882 by Dr. C. S. Smith, now Bishop Smith, who was the first Negro in this country to attempt to publish Sunday-school literature. Bishop Smith proved to the other religious denominations among Negroes what it was possible to do. He remained at the head of the department eighteen years, being elected Bishop in 1900. His successor, Dr. W. D. Chappelle, has had charge of the department only eight years, and it looks now as if he will be promoted to the bench of bishops. There seems to be a growing sentiment in favor of electing for his successor a man, first, who is a practical printer and business man; and, second, a man who is not eligible to be elevated to the position of bishop. The best minds are beginning to realize that it is impossible to keep that department up to its present high standing and abreast with the publishing fraternity if the head of the concern is to be changed every eight or twelve years, and that in this age of modern and constantly changing of the mechanism of printing machinery an untrained man can not compete with twentieth century publishers. Mr. D. A. Hart, who is EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY SERVICES AT FIRST BAPISTIST CHURCH. The eighth anniversary of the pastoral service of Rev. W. S. Ellington, A. B., with the First Baptist Church, of Eighth avenue, North, was fittingly observed last Sunday morning at eleven o'clock by an appropriate program arranged for the occasion. The day opened fair and beautiful—an ideal spring morning—which, coupled with the announcement of the special service in honor of the pastor, acted as a compelling incentive to the outpouring of the people. The auditorium was filled with a most intelligent and cultured audience—one that would have honored any occasion and inspired any speaker. Deacon W. H. Hightower, Master of Ceremonies, in his general remarks, gave a splendid review of the work of the church under the pastorate of Rev. Ellington. He said that as pastor Rev. Ellington has filled his sacred charge with admirable fitness, creditable to himself and beneficial to all. "The church," said Deacon Hightower, "should congratulate itself on having as able a pastor as any church in the country." Deacon C. B. Lowe, speaking "On Behalf of the Church," said that the pastor had borne himself as a Christian gentleman whom all delighted to honor. He spoke at length upon the (Continued on Page 7.) BIG STICK IS QUIVERING Discharge of Negro Soldiers Worrying President. SENATE COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING THE AFFAIR. MAKES FOUR REPORTS—MR. FORAKER, SENATOR FROM OHIO, MASTER OF THE SITUATION—ROOSEVELT'S ALLIES THROWING OUT BAIT TO CATCH NEGRO VOTE FOR TAFT MAJORITY REPORT MYSTIFYING TO STUDENTS OF CURRENT EVENTS — "PITCHFORK" BEN PLAYS LEADING ROLE-JUSTICE KNOCKING AT THE DOOR OF ADMINISTRATION. Washington, D. C., March 12.—The scenes enacted in the Senate to-day will long be remembered. There is not one of this venerable body but that saw the gravity of the situation, which will ever be green in his memory. That famous Brownsville affair was up, and with it came four reports with the presidential message as the climax. The President was unable to remain in hiding. He was forced out by three great forces. The first being public sentiment, which has been worked up to its highest pitch. This has been keenly felt about the National Capital ever since the affair has been under consideration, and the dullest mind could not fail to comprehend this. The second is that force of the senior Senator from Ohio, Joseph Benson Foraker, the champion of American citizen's rights, and the exponent of fair play. And the third, which is last, but not least, the conscience of the President. It, too, has been at work, but in spite of his dogged tenacity to uphold his actions, his conscience, with the other two great forces, is slowly but surely bringing out what is right and what would be justice—an admission that he is wrong. The President, in attempting to prevent a unanimous republican action in the Senate, hastens as only Roosevelt can with another hasty message to Congress in an attempt to flank Foraker's movement, trying to pour oil on the troubled waters. His message declares the injustice of the act, but he clings to the wrong, like Ephraim to his idol. It was the order of the Senate in having a committee on military affairs to investigate the wholesole discharge without honor of the soldiers, that blocked his game in his order issued December 12, 1906, through the Secretary of War, which was as follows: "Applications to re-enlist from former members of Companies B. C and D, Twenty-fifth Infantry, who were charged under the provisions of special order No. 266, War Department, Nov. 9, 1906, must be made in writing and be accompanied by such evidence, also in writing, as the applicant may desire to submit, to show that he was neither implicated in the raid on Brownsville, Tex., on the night of Aug. 13, 1906, nor withheld any evidence that might lead to the discovery of the perpetrators thereof." The message itself shows that that passage of Scripture, "Pride goeth before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall," is the exact position of Mr. Roosevelt. His pride will not permit him to make an honest confession of his wrong-doings, but his haughtiness is certain to be his downfall. Not only his, but the overthrow of the republican administration is evident unless the Senate reverses his order in the Brownsville affair. There were four reports from the committee, the majority being signed by Senators Warren, Lodge, Warner, Dupont, Taliaferro, Foster, Overman, Frazier and McCreary. A minority report was signed by Senators Foraker, Scott, Bulkeley and Hemenway. The majority report found as follows: MAJORITY REPORT "That in the opinion of the committee the shooting was done by some of the soldiers belonging to the Twenty-fifth Infantry; that the testimony fails to identify the particular soldier or soldiers who participated in the affray." It is stated that there is considerable contradiction in the testimony, but that taken as a whole and reconciling it wherever possible. It proves the case outlined in the majority decision. The principal minority report was presented by Senator Scott and takes the position that it was impossible to ascertain who did the shooting and makes the recommendation that the negro soldiers be restored. In addition to this minority report, Senators Foraker and Bulkeley joined in a supplemental report which was presented by Senator Foraker. FORAKER'S STAND Senator Foraker's report declared that the testimony of the eye witnesses against the negro soldiers is not reliable, and that no motive for their alleged connection with the affray had been shown. He summed up the testimony taken by the Senate Committee as follows: "That it wholly fails to identify the particular individual or any of them who participated in the shooting; that it fails to show that any of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry had entered into any agreement or so-called 'conspiracy of silence,' or that they withheld information pos- (Continued on Page 3) "FORGE THAT WINS." FREE LECTURE BY REV. W. S. ELLINGTON. The Negroes of Nashville are fast learning the value of lectures. This fact is evidenced by the interest manifested. But there are many who do not feel able to pay an admission fee to hear them. Realizing the scarcity of money, the committee having this matter in charge, set about to find a remedy. The object was to arrange the dates and hours so that as little expense as possible might be incurred. Their efforts have been successful, as they were able to secure the St. John A. M. E. Church three Sunday afternoons at an hour when lights would not have to be used and the house would already be warm. The first of a series of three lectures will be delivered next Sunday evening by Rev. W. S. Ellington, pastor of the First Baptist Church and editorial secretary at the National Baptist Publishing House. Rev. Mr. Ellington will lecture to both men and women, and not to women only, as was stated in the last issue of The Globe. Special music will be a feature at each lecture. On next Sunday Miss Lavinia McLemore will render a selection. Miss McLemore is an excellent singer and ranks with the best in the city. Her renditions are pleasing and are well executed. No. 10. PLACE FOR NEXT NATIONAL MEETING TO BE SELECTED. NATIONAL CONVENTION OFFICERS AND SECRETARIES AND CHAIRMEN OF THE SEVEN BOARDS CONSTITUTE THE OFFICIAL BOARD—SEVERAL CITIES BIDDING FOR THE MEETING —NEW ORLEANS SEEMS TO HAVE STRONGEST CLAIM —NASHVILLE RUNNING A CLOSE SECOND-BAPTIST MINISTERS' CONFERENCE POSITIVELY DECIDES TO EXTEND INVITATION- The official board, consisting of the officers of the National Baptist Convention, with the secretaries and chairmen of the seven boards in this convention, will meet in Nashville Thursday, March 26, for the purpose of selecting a place for holding the 1908 session of the National Baptist Convention. This information was given out at the Baptist Publishing House, Monday, having been received from President Morris, of Helena, Ark., and Secretary Hudson, of Selma, Ala. This meeting will bring to Nashville a gathering of distinguished officials of a great denomination. The boards to be represented will be the National Baptist Benefit Association Board, Foreign Mission Board, Woman's Auxiliary Board, Educational Board, B. Y. P. U. Board, Home Mission Board and the Publishing Board. Each of these has a secretary and a president, who are looked upon as members of the official family of Baptists, and who are expected to attend this meeting. Aside from this there will be the presidents and the vice-presidents from each state, the four secretaries, the treasurer and the auditor. If all of them are represented Nashville will have quite a delegation of distinguished divines. Among the more prominent expected here for this meeting are Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., Helena, Ark.; Prof. R. B. Hudson, Secretary, Selma, Ala.; Rev. T. O. Fuller, D. D., Assistant Secretary, Memphis, Tenn.; A. J. Stokes, D. D.; Treasurer, Montgomery, Ala.; S. W. Bacote, A. B., Statistician, Kansas City, Mo.; Rev. Robert Mitchell, A. M., D. D., Auditor, Bowling Green, Ky.; J. H. A. Cyrus, Assistant Secretary, Roanoke, Va.; Rev. A. A. Cosey, Sec'y National Baptist Benefit Association, Helena, Ark.; Miss N. H. Burroughs, Secretary Woman's Auxiliary, Louisville, Ky.; Mrs. T. W. Layton, President Woman's Auxiliary, Philadelphia, Pa.; Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., C. H. Parris, D. D., Secretary and Chairman respectively of the Foreign Mission Board, Louisville, Ky.; Rev. D. S. Klugh, Secretary Educational Board, Princeton, N. J.; Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., Chairman Home Mission Board, Little Rock, Ark.; Rev. P. J. Bryant, D. D., Chairman of B. Y. P. U. Board, Atlanta, Ga. Those in the city who are entitled to membership will be Dr. E. W. W. D. Isaac, D. D., of the B. Y. P. U. Board; Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., of the Publishing and Home Mission Boards; Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D. Chairman of the Publishing Board. There is a vice-president for each state in the union represented in the National Convention, but it could not be learned whether these will come or not. Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi Kentucky, Arkansas and Texas may be represented. The important question to be decided will interest Nashville no little, as she will be in the race for the 1908 convention. Lexington, Ky., is in the race. Louisville, Ky., Atlanta, Ga., Boston, Mass., and Indianapolis are strong competitors, but New Orleans seems to have a decided advantage. The National Baptist Union, the official organ of the Baptists of the United States, will contain a resolution sent up by the two executive boards of the two Baptist State Conventions of Louisiana, setting forth their claims to entertain this body. New Orleans proper, through its Ministers' Conference, is expected to fur THE: NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1908. ther press her claims and renew the vigorous campaign which was on at Washington, but defeated by New York. The concensus of opinion is that New Orleans has a better chance. It is an ideal convention city, and the Nashville people would rather the con- vention go to New Orleans if it cannot be brought to Nashville. Just what other matter will come before this meeting has not been given out, ‘The Ministers’ Conference Monday took a stand in favor of inviting the convention, but no resolutions or mo: tions were made to that effect, as it was thought best to wait for develop: ments, It may be that the program for the next session can be made at this meeting, as it will save extra ex: pense for holding a meeting for this specific purpose, which is usually held ‘every year about mid-summer. This ‘meeting will no doubt be held in the chapel of the Baptist Publishing House, as that is the Baptist head: quarters and is where the ministers hold their meetings on Monday. Ii no other business, except selecting the place of meeting, comes before the hoard, it will adjourn Thursday even ing, but if a program is to be made it is likely they will be in session un: til Friday afternoon. The Baptist family of this city is getting real busy in their preparations to entertain these visitors, § = A oe Le PR 8 ‘OPPORTUNITIES — Will you take advantage of tiem? AT St. John A. M. E.

They recommend that it would be jus- tice to restore to all of the innocent men the rights and privileges which had acerned to them by reason of their previous service in the army. A bill is presented auhorizing the President within one year after the passage of the act to authorize the enlistment of any of the men whom he may be sat- isfied had no connection with the shooting. Senator Foraker included in his report a bill, previously intro- dueed, which provides for the same general purpose. This bill, however, would cémpel the War Department to accept the enlistment of any one of the discharged negroes who makes oath that he was not connected with the shooting. ‘There are too many true and tried Americans who have looked on with shame and who are as proud of the records of the Negro citizenship and the soldiery to fail to resent this wholesale injustice to its gallant boys in blue. There are members on the commitiee like Senators Scott, Bulke ley and Hemenway who have excellent records as soldiers themselves, who will never consent to anything less than “All men are judged innoven! until their guilt has been established beyond the shadow of a doubt.” It would have been far better for the country, for the party and for the army, had the President alowed the rules and regulations of the army te be enforced instead of attempting te take the bull by the horns as he did It now remains to be seen whether the republicans and the democrats will ac! as they have been accused of actins by the late Sam Jones, who once saic that “When the republicans made ¢ mistake, the democratic party acted ¢ fool.” If the Southern democrat: would take a position, which no doub Tillman would take, that the discharg was an injustice to the men as sol diers, they would be doing themselve and the country a noble deed.

Academy will have plenty to eat next fall. Rev. Mr. Steward, who was for a number of years pastor of the Baptist Church here, is still confined to his room from a stroke of paralysis which he received thirteen years ago. Everybody loves "Parson" Steward, because of his persistency years ago. We enjoyed two sumptuous meals not many days ago at Mr. Sam Steward's, our former Past Master, and Deacon A. T. White's. We are now preparing to go to Super-intendent and Mrs. E. F. Gooche's. Miss G. A. Turner, one of the county teachers, is doing nice work in the Teacher's Review Course at the Academy. Prof. E. H. Sullivan made a flying trip to Lafayette last week. Vertrees Law, who has been confined on account of fever, is convalescing rapidly. Miss Ethel E.

'THE STANDARD' Information comes from Benedict College that "The Standard," an esteemed and worthy Baptist weekly newspaper, has been forced to suspend publication on account of the disastrous fire which recently destroyed the entire printing plant where the paper was published. This has forced them to suspend for the present year. "The Standard" is one of the oldest papers in South Carolina. It was the official organ of the South Carolina Baptists. The fact that it was published under the auspices of the Benedict College, one of the leading denominational schools in the South, added to its importance as an educational and religious journal. Nashville people will remember that Rev. M. W. Gilbert, who once resided in this city, was officially connected with the paper at one time. JESSE M. BUMBREY, OF TEXAS. Among the visitors expected in Nashville during the month of August is Mr. Jesse Milton Bumbrey, of San Antonio, Texas. Mr. Bumbrey is a brother to Mr. L. D. Bumbrey, foreman of the composing room of the Baptist Publishing House, and is quite a prominent young man in Texas, socially and politically. He has taken an active part in all political movements in that state for the past seven or eight years. He was scheduled to visit Nashville during 1907, but the continued and fatal illness of his mother forced him to change his plans. A. M. E. UNION CLUB. The A. M. E. Union Club met at the residence of Mrs. S. J. Dunlap, 41 Wharf avenue, Friday afternoon, March 6, at 4 o'clock.

THE OHIO PLATFORM. The state republican convention held in Ohio last week, incorporated the following in its platform of principles: "In the nation we stand for those ideals of government which mean justice, equality and fair dealing among men. A brave and impartial enforcement of the law *** the civil and political rights of the American Negro in every State, believing as we do, that his marvelous progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation, and that those legislative enactments that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color are unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land. "We favor the reduction of representation in Congress and the electoral college in all States of this Union where white and colored citizens are disfranchised, to the end that the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States may be enforced according to its letter and spirit." This, evidently, is a sop to the colored voters of that state who support Mr. Taft and a bait for those of the race who, on account of the great fight made by the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, are disposed to follow that gentleman even to the point of leaving the party. It is almost impossible to believe that the republicans of Ohio seriously contemplate making an effort to cut down the representation of those states that disfranchise men on account of color. If such were there intentions they would begin now and force such a measure through Congress while the party is in control of both branches and also has the chief executive. They would scarcely run the risk of an election which is liable to bring about a change of party control in some one part of the government. Similar planks to the one in the Ohio platform have been encouched in the National Platform of the republican party but nothing tangible has come from them. A few bills have been introduced but they met a uniform death in Committee. This inaction of Congress would tend to show that many of the leaders of that overwhelming republican majority believe with Mr. Taft that statutory disfranchisement in the South on account of color is a step for the better in solving the so-called problem of this section. There can be little if any doubt that the object of the plank quoted above was to assuage the resentment felt by the Negro voter toward Mr. Taft on account of his Tuskegee, Lexington, Kansas City and other speeches. But whether it will have the desired effect, remains to be seen. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. MARCH 13. 1908. FORAKER FOR JUSTICE. The New York Sun, which from the very outset has condemned the action of the President in dismissing the black battalion, has the following to say anent the recent decision of a majority of the Committee on Military Affairs: When Senator Foraker opened his campaign for the rights of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry his opponents charged him with "playing politics." He bore these unjust attacks with patience and dignity and demanded a fair hearing for the alleged offenders. The boot is now on the other leg. The administration has failed to show that men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry were the offenders and has failed in its efforts to identify the culprits. It is now reported that the Administration side is playing politics. We learn from what appear to be responsible sources that the supporters of the Administration are alarmed by the menacing political consequences of their attitude. It is said that they will approve a proposal for the reinstatement of such of the discharged soldiers as are able to prove their innocence. It does not appear that this door of return is to be opened as an act of justice to men who have been made the victims of a hasty and wrongful act. It is no more than a political device, an attempt to propitiate those colored voters whose sympathies are naturally with the discharged soldiers. We doubt the alluring quality of the bait. The hook is too much in evidence. If the Republican party would clear its skirts in this matter it must repudiate the act of the President as far as it can do so by an approval of the reinstatement bill already introduced in the Senate by Mr. Foraker. The proposal that these men be reinstated only on proof of their innocence is absurd. How are they to prove their innocence? The affair has been as thoroughly investigated as it can be. A civil grand jury failed to find a case against the soldiers. An investigation by the Inspector-General's department failed to identify the offenders. The President's special commission was equally unsuccessful. A majority of the Senate committee asserted their belief that some of the soldiers were guilty, but their verdict was not in accordance with the evidence. Had the committee been sitting as a jury in a criminal court the Judge on the bench would have rebuked severely that majority for its decision. The Foraker bill for the reinstatement of the soldiers is based on justice. The bill reported as forthcoming from his opponents is at its best a contemptible political plan, having no other object than that of vote getting. It is of course still conceivable that some of these men may be guilty, but their guilt has not been shown by all the forces at the disposal of the Administration, and no pains have been spared in the effort to justify Mr. Roosevelt's act. Admitting the possible guilt of a few, a more than doubtful concession, the innocence of all except those few has been established beyond any reasonable doubt. Mr. Foraker's bill provides for a correction of the records, the reenlistment of the men and the restoration of all the rights of which they have been deprived by the President's order. It is probable that no more than this can be done. Justice requires that no less shall be done, and that whatever is done shall be as a matter of right and not for the purpose of catching votes The Texas Express has consolidated with The Dallas Express and W. E. King is once more at the head of the paper over which he presided for so long a time. The newspaper fraternity in the country will be pleased to see this efficient man back at his old place directing affairs with his old-time vigor. The terrible holocaust in which so many children lost their lives near Cleveland, O., recalls the panic at Birmingham, Ala., during a meeting of the National Baptist Convention. Not only should schools take warning from the frightful experience of Cleveland, but the large churches whose means of exit are inadequate to empty the edifices at short notice, should set about to correct the fault. The Roosevelt administration, though it has fallen far short of the square deal in some particulars, is entitled to credit in its effort to break up peonage. Instead of the carping criticism of the Southern Press the administration should have the heartiest co-operation of everyone who really has the interests of this section at heart. It profits the South nothing to say "other sections are as bad." What is really desired is to be able to say, with truth that in this section the rights of the meanest citizens are protected. The McKinley Club, a "social organization," is losing quite a number of its members because of the recent order from somewhere that federal employees must not be members of political clubs. These resigning white republicans seem to have some doubts as to the McKinley Club being a "social organization." Senator Bailey, of Texas, has recovered his voice long enough to make a speech against the Aldrich Currency Reform Bill and incidentally to attack the Roosevelt policies. Possibly he attacked the bill and "my policies" to see if he could find some kerosene. Another colored bank has been organized. It is at Atlanta, Ga. Times may be a trifle hard and politics a bit interesting but the colored brother in various parts of the country is going right ahead accumulating some of this world's goods. The Kentucky Night Riders are continuing their nefarious work of burning houses, whipping some citizens and threatening others. This species of lawlessness though will be brought to an end, for the victims in most cases are whites. Sheriff Shipp, of Chattanooga, was in a contest for renomination this week. His platform seems to have been: "One Negro lynched, one white man legally hanged," and, of course, he won. The Florida Sentinel has installed a new press, and Editor Lewey is sending a paper that is neater and brighter than ever. J. Max Barber has given up another position. This time he accepted a "resignation" as editor of the Chicago Conservator. It is gratifying to know that the Criminal Court is breaking up the nest of fee grabbing justices. THE ALGONQUINS GIVE CHARITY MASQUE PARTY. One of the pleasantest social affairs of the present season was the Charity Masque Party given by the Algonquin Club at Odd Fellows Auditorium last week for the benefit of the Day Home Club. A large and representative gathering was present, participated in the festivities and helped raise funds for this laudable, charitable institution which is working so hard under its efficient officers to provide a place where mothers, who are compelled to work out during the day, may leave their children and have them cared for. The party was under the auspices, as stated above, of the Algonquin Club, the officers of which are: Eugene T. Page, President; Wm. D. Boger, Vice President; J. O. Battle, Secretary; D. Wesley Crutcher, Treasurer, but in making the affair the success that it was, these officers had the active cooperation of the Day Home Club in making all the arrangements. Though it has not been stated what the receipts were from the entertainment, it is understood that quite a neat sum was realized. Most of the participants were masked and presented a sight that caused one's mind almost instinctively to revert to the famous Mardi Gras of New Orleans and like festivities. Following the unmasking a very toothsome collation was served and the rest of the evening was devoted to the enjoyment of the assembled guests, music being furnished by Prof. Dock Liner's orchestra. Among those present were: Hon. and Mrs. J. C. Napier, Dr. and Mrs. Preston Taylor, Hon. and Mrs. A. N. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Carter, Mr. and Mrs. I. V. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Tate, Mr. and Mrs. John Hobbs, Mesdames Emma Battle, Boger, Lewis, Dr. Wells, Shorter, Bryant, Burgess, of Grand Rapids, Mich.; Misses Georgia Bradford, Grace Frank, Esther Polk Berry, Minnie Hunter, Bessie Martin, Emma Shorter, Reba Latham, Lacera Polk, Lula Polk, Hazel Thompson, Carrie Bryant, Alberta Davis, Eleanor Battle, Virginia Broughton, Amelia Carpenter, Messrs.

Nearly every church in the city has started, or is preparing to start a revival, commonly known as the Spring revival. Preparations are being made among all the denominations. Spruce Street Baptist Church began its meeting on Washington's birthday, a custom that has been in vogue since the life of "Father Merry." Not one year, since his inaugurating these annual revivals, has the church allowed to pass by without its work being thoroughly done. They have secured the services of Rev. John W. Cook, of Dickson, Tenn., and for the next ten days he will deliver interesting and soul-stirring sermons to the crowds of visitors and earnest sinners who will be in attendance. Bethel A. M. E. Church has been conducting its meeting for more than ten days with great success. They have a minister conducting their meetings who is thoroughly capable of bringing souls to Christ. He is an excellent speaker and has drawn large audiences. The African Methodists have decided to conduct what is termed "A Floating Revival." It will practically rotate, going from church to church. The meeting began at Bethel, where it is being held this week, and will probably continue for a few nights next week and then go either to St. Paul or to St. John. They will take in all the churches on the west side first, then to the east side, starting at Payne Chapel. Mount Olive Baptist Church began her revival Sunday night. Dr. Clark preached the opening sermon. On Monday, Rev. C. P. M. Bigee, who is well known in revival circles, arrived and has been conducting services since then every night. He is due to remain here, at least, ten days. His further stay will depend upon the development and the success of the meeting. There will hardly be a night within the next sixty days in which some able sermons are not delivered from some of the many pulpits in the city. All of the denominations have plans on foot to secure the services of experienced revivalists, and Nashville will be stirred as it has never been before. It will be an ingathering of Preston Taylor.

AN ELABORATE PRODUCTION OF THE ONLY ORIGINAL AMERICAN MUSIC AT St. John A. M. E. Church, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 10, When it was first announced that a Folk-Songs Cantata would be rendered at Fisk University, many were heard to express doubts as to the possibility of such an achievement. The like had never been attempted before. Thousands of Nashville's best citizens had enjoyed the sweet melodies echoed from the singers of jubilee songs, but this was a new undertaking. Some said it could not be done, but they went, however, and much to their surprise a real Cantata, artistically arranged, was presented to the delight of every one present. The news spread like wild-fire, and a continuous demand was made for a second rendition. The Sunday-School of Mt. Olive Baptist Church perfected arrangements to have the second entertainment at their church. The night was bitter cold but a large crowd braved the weather, and packed the spacious auditorium until standing room was almost at a premium. But still the clamor continues, and in answer to the people Profs. Work and Work have consented to favor them with the third and last rendition this season. --- ADMISSION. On Finance—Rev. H. M.

This remark seemed to be driven too close home. The clerk at once apparently realized his inferiority and his extremely small position, hence he took offense, but was not brave enough to show his disapproval until Mr. Bowling's back was turned. He was stealing upon him, armed with an ink well and a paper weight. Mr. Bowling was unaware of all this, as he was walking towards the door. One of the employees in the office gave the alarm and Mr. Bowling turned upon his assailant just in time to frighten him; hence the deadly missiles which he hurled at Mr. Bowling missed their mark. The clerk beat a hasty retreat to his small corner and Mr. Bowling went about his duties. The damage sustained by the large plate glass in the city office of the L. & N. is said to be about $100. Mr. Bowling will report this matter officially to headquarters of the L. & N. Railway, as it is not believed that the railroad company will condone such actions on the part of unreliable, small-calaried youngsters, as it will only drive away business from the road. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS ANNUAL SERMON. In compliance with the proclamation of the Supreme Chancellor, Grand Chancellor J. P. Crawford, and Grand Worthy Counsellor R. F.

MISS DELANEY'S LECTURES Nashville has been greatly benefited by the visit of Miss E. B. Delaney, the returned missionary, who spoke here three times. On Friday she appeared at the First Baptist Church. East Nashville. The meeting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon was for children. Her subject was "What children can do to become light bear ers." There was a good attendance of children from all parts of the East side. There were not many, however, from the West, but the results of her address will be felt in all parts of the city. She scored many good points and was entertaining to the children. Friday night she spoke to a mixed audience, which was lareg and appreciative. Her subject was "My trip to Africa and the events that took place." The fact that Miss delaney is a fluent speaker meant a great deal on this occasion. In delivering this address she took great care to outline the real work she had been able to accomplish in that foreign land. Being an earnest, conscientious worker, she found it no trouble to interest others on all occasions. Sunday afternoon was the long-looked-for meeting and one that cannot be forgotten in this city, notwithstanding the rules governing the attendance were the most rigid ever put into force in this city. It was a plain, instructive talk to women, her subject being "The Habits and Customs of Women in Africa." No woman under twenty-one was admitted into the audience and this naturally barred a great and eager number of young people who had contemplated taking advantage of this occasion to hear a woman that had braved the wilds of Africa and spent a number of years on its sunny shores. Globe reporters were barred. There was not a man in the audience, yet the congregation numbered about four hundred. Some of those present were women of large experience, some that have been in public life for a quarter of a century; some who had passed through the bondage of slavery and who had watched freedom in its onward march in this country, they declared that Miss Delaney recited experiences and gave information that could not be obtained elsewhere. She was instructive at all times, sounding a warning to the wives and mothers present. Disappointment on the part of a large number was noticed when those under twenty-one were barred from the meeting. It was naturally expected that no girls under sixteen would be admitted, yet after the talk some of the wiser and cooler heads declared that the twenty-one years was for the best. The program was interesting from beginning to end. In spite of these blessings Nashville is constantly receiving, there does not seem to be a disposition on the part of the Nashville people to contribute financially towards bringing these good lecturers here. Out of the three meetings held by Miss Delaney the offerings were not sufficient to defray her expenses from Fernandina, Fla., to to Nashville and return, notwithstanding she came for this special occasion. A Globe reporter learned that only the sum of $8.00 was collected Sunday afternoon, and that during her three meetings not quite $20.00 was raised. This does not speak well for the city, especially when it is taken into consideration the large number of attendants on each occasion. Nashville is not very liberal when it comes to giving in public collections. Many wealthy and prominent people give five and ten cents in a collection, and the pastors of the churches often lead with five and ten cents. A close observation has convinced most people, especially those in public, that these small collections will not bring the required results when you must send off to get extra talent. Miss Delaney's visit will do a great good, even though the proper appreciation was not shown in the financial end. MOUNT OLIVE SUNDAY-SCHOOL TEACHERS' SOCIAL The second annual social given for the teachers and officers of Mount Olive Sunday-school was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Douglass, of Jackson street, last Friday evening. The social was largely attended, every teacher, with the exception of three, being present. These with a number of visitors made a very enjoyabe gathering. There was a little impromptu program prepared for the occasion. The superintendent, Mr. J. E. Hurt, opened the program with a few remarks. Miss Lavinia McLemore sang beautifully "Will You Sometimes Think of Me?" The speakers were Mr. H. A. Boyd, who spoke on "The Sunday-school Teacher and His Duty to the Sunday-school;" Mr. Geo. H. Binkley, "The Sunday-school Teacher and His Relation to the Sunday-school;" Mr. L. S. Gray, "The Deacons and Their Duty to the Sunday-school." Miss Mary L. Clark sang "Dreaming," to the delight of the audience. Those present were Miss M. L. Clark, Cleveland Houston, William F. Holsey, Mesdames Nellie E. Dunlap, Genie B. Williams, Peter Patterson, Miss Tennie L. Kemper, Prof. L. S. Gray, Miss Georgia A. Bradford, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Lewis, H. A. Boyd, Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Binkley, Miss Minnie M. Hunter, Messrs. J. E. Hurt, B. Stanley, S. P. Harrison, Andrew Allison, Misses Willa M. Hurt, Selene McGavock, Willa M. Streat, Mr. Willie R. Davis, Mesdames Millie B. Barton, Elliza Wolder, Mr. Isaac Bodey, Miss Velma Mosley, Messrs. R. O. Perkins and F. A. Teasley. The evening was most enjoyably spent and is calculated to do much good towards building up the Sunday-school. There is a rally on for the coming Sunday, as the superintendent will be absent after this for the summer, and it is expected that a large crowd will greet him to lend some inspiration to him during his absence. The scholars and teachers promise to exercise their influence in bringing along a visitor. If this is carried out, fully five hundred people will be in attendance Sunday morning.

EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY, (Continued from Page 1.) SM eeateits F ake SESS Sot’ oe ett tae ‘ growth of the church spiritually, nu-|: merically and financially under the) pastorate of Rev. Mr. Ellington. 7 Mrs, Virginia W. Broughton, “On|! Behalf of the Ladies’ Aid and Mission- ary Societies,” spoke, as is usual with her, entertainingly and forcefully con- cerning the splendid efforts of the women and what they have accom- plished during the time of the present yastor. She gave out much informa- tion that will be helpful to the young- er women who must assume the task of the older ones in the future. Mrs. Broughton closed by paying a glowing tribute to the pastor on behalf of the noble, earnest and faithful Christian women of the church. Mr. J. D. Crenshaw, Superintendent, ‘in speaking “On Behalf of the Sunday- School,” told of the inestimable good being achieved by Rev. Mr. Ellington as Editorial Secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, in writing and preparing Sunday-school litera- ture for the 2,500,000 Negro Baptists of this country. “Through the me dium of wholesome ahd religious literature,” he said, “Rev. Elling- ton is speaking to the children of his people more effectively than words can tell, and writing his name upon the hearts of the people, where it will live more enduringly than were it carved or engraved upon shaft of granite or tablet of brass.” Pn Siee oot In view of the time that had been taken up by the program, Rey. Mr. Ellington only preached a short ser- mon, after which he was presented a beautiful walking-cane. Prof. 8. P. Harris, on behalf of the ladies of the church, in a most happy and felicitous speech, presented Rev. Mr. Ellington a beautifully chased, gold-headed, ebony walking-cane, with his namre and date of presentation engraved upon the head of it. He said that the gift was made on the part of the ladies to manifest their deep appreciation of the eminent serv- ices which have been rendered by the pastor during his pastorate. The speaker made it very clear that merit will win, He said,“Despite untoward conditions or circumstances, it is a feet that merit in the end will win.’ ‘From time immemorial, far back where the memory of man runneth not,” said he, “merit has won, and it is a manifest fact it will ever win. Now, Rev. Ellington, I take pleasure in presenting to you this beau tiful token from the ladies to show the deep, Christian regard they enter tain for you and your services,” Rey. Mr. Ellington responded in : sincere and earnest way to all tha had been done by way of honorin; him. He thanked all for their kin¢ *neouragement, and said, “Whateve { have done, or if my services hav seen helpful, rendering others bette: and happier, I attribute it all to th: ) iord who has made it possible, 7 Him be the glory and praise! Again T thank yon all, and’say that the word spoken here to-day shall encourage mi ~|'0 try to do more in the future.” The choir, assisted by Mrs. Presto Taylor and Miss Nora Berry, rendere some excellent music, which was in terspersed throughout the program ‘| Miss Berry sang a pleasing solo, a _|also did Mrs Taylor, After the taking up of a collectio: of $32.00, the services were closed b "| the pastor. Mrs. Aaron Dodd presented the pa: *| tor with a fine and beautiful cake. Rey. Mr. Ellington on next Sunday March 15, will preach on “The Exalts tion of Nations.” MARRIAGES.

Richard Hill. DEATH OF MRS. GERTRUDE FISHER BROWN. Mrs. Gertrude Fisher Brown, the oldest daughter of Rev. E. J. Fisher, D. D., pastor of Olivet Baptist Church in Chicago, died in that city March 4 and was buried on the 9th inst. She had been married less than one year. The deceased lived in this city a few years ago, when her father had charge of Spruce Street Baptist Church, and was beloved by her acquaintances for her sweet disposition and Christian bearing. At one time she was in the proof-reading department of the National Baptist Publishing House. Subsequently she entered Meharry Medical College. Her escape from death at the fearful fire at Walden University was considered miraculous. Mrs. Brown was a woman of great intelligence, and her death will be regretted not only in Chicago, but in this city, where she had many friends. MARECHAL NIEL CLUB The Marcechal Niel Art Club met Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Wane Warfield, on South Fourth street.

They all admire and love the name of Roger Williams, and notwithstanding the distance of the school from the car line, friends and students of the University found their way to that magnificently located institution to enjoy these exercises, which were the first under the new regime. Prof. Johnson, the President, although extremely modest, was not slow in expressing his gratitude to the large audience for lending their presence on this occasion, and to the public for the encouragement it has given. The rhetoricals were given, as was the custom of the old school, at the end of each term. The exercises Tuesday night closed the first Winter term of the university. The program rendered was as follows: Music ..... Invocation ..... Music Justice May Sleep but Never Dies ..... J. W. Baird Air Castles ..... A. A. Bennett Piano Duet ..... Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Townsend The Voyage of Life ..... Miss Mary Bracken Methods of Improving the Mind.. Miss L. S. Crocker Music ..... Quartette Ways of Doing Good ..... Miss Eleanor Maxwell No. Excellence without Work No Excellence without Work ... ... Miss Melissa Oden Piano Solo ... Miss Quinetta Compton Value of Character ... W. S. Stark Time—A Necessary Condition ... ... E. K. Williams Music ... Announcements ... In the audience were quite a number of representative men. Two of them, Rev. S. E. Griggs and Rev. Wm. Haynes, made timely remarks about the future of the university. From time to time there will be various entertainments given at the institution day and night. The location is ideal for any kind of entertainment, whether in or out of doors. Wednesday was observed as a holiday, and school began Thursday as usual, preparing for the final session of this school year. The Theological Department was ably represented as was the Literary Department in these first exercises. President Johnson says the spring term began Thursday, March 12. MEETS MAY 4 AT NORFOLK, VA. writing a series of articles in the Sunday-School Monitor, has thrown much light on the subject of printing and publishing among Negroes. He is a practical printer, having been connected with the largest printing and publishing houses conducted in the world by Negroes for seventeen years. He is considered the best informed man in the Negro race on publishing church literature. He is so much concerned as to the success of the publishing interests of his church that he has decided, though not a delegate, to visit the General Conference in May and lend his aid to help, if possible, remedy the present condition of affairs. Mr. Hart has been connected with the Baptist Publishing House for ten years, and was also connected with the A. M. E. Church Sunday-School Union for over five years, and was head of the printing department when the plant was destroyed by fire in 1895. During 1896, 7 and 8 he served as porter in one of the largest printing offices in the South, and while there, being a practical printer, he was able to gain a wider knowledge of how to conduct a publishing concern on a large scale than it would have been possible for him to do had he been employed as a printer. When Dr. R. H. Boyd opened his plant in 1898, he employed Mr. Hart. He was then paying over two thousand dollars a month to a large concern conducted by white men. They told him that Negroes could not do that grade of work. Dr. Boyd repeated the conversation between himself and the white man to this young Negro, whereupon Mr. Hart said to him: "Dr. Boyd, I can do anything you have to do now, or that you will ever have to do in the line of printing." Dr. Boyd took him at his word. In a few months the white printer was compelled to sell out, not being able to keep going after losing the large contract of printing Dr. Boyd's quarterlies. Mr. Hart has kept his promise, and to-day the Bapst tists publish their own Commentary, a monthly teacher's magazine, four quarterly magazines, sixteen song books ranging in size from 64 to 500 pages besides a large number of text-books. It requires over $50,000 worth of white paper a year to run this mammoth plant, which consists of five large cylinder presses, three of which are fitted up with automatic Cross continuous paper feeders; four paper folding machines with a Fuller pile paper feeders attached to one of these; two type setting machines and paper cutters trimmers, book-sewing machines, etc Our Removal Sale IS ON.

The congregation of the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church is preparing to do something for "Sweet Charity." This will be a new move on the part of the church, especially since it purposes to give a charity entertainment and divide the proceeds among the several organizations of the city. It is learned from Rev. Father Coombs that the entertainment will be given next Tuesday night, and the entire membership of the church is working to make it a success. The charitable institutions that will figure in the receipts or that will be benefited by the entertainment will be the Day Home, an institution operated for the care of children whose parents are forced to leave them early in the day and not returning until late, and the Mercy Hospital. It is the desire of Father Coombs and his people to contribute something towards their maintenance.
