Asks and Answers Some Important Questions. ENGOURAGES NEGRO VOTERS TO SHOW THEIR MANHOOD. MR. FORAKER SHOULD BE SUPPORTED FOR THE NOMINATION —SHOWS OUR PLAIN DUTY—REFERS TO BROWNSVILLE EPI-SODE—URGES THAT THE ASSERTION OF BEING INGRATES BE DISPROVED — COMPLI-MENTS THE GLOBE ON ITS STAND IN PRESENT POLITICAL SITUATION. Editor Nashville Globe: Sir—Allow me to congratulate your paper upon the intelligent, wise and manly stand it takes on the present political situation as respects the Negro. You are perfectly correct and I trust that your influence and opinion will reach every Negro voter in America. Why is it that one of our leading men and an announced candidate for the republican nomination for the presidency have recently appeared together with a New York platform, to review the progress of the Negro? Why is it that the Ohio republican convention sees fit at this time to laud the magnanimity of the Negro to the skies and to declare for reapportionment? If the proportional representation were intended, they have had ample time and privilege, eight years, both houses and a most strenuous president. Why is it that the all-efficient president seeks now to secure legislation which will re-instate our valiant men: the glory of whose bravery he now reaps? The answer to these and others is plain. It is a double cross for vote catching; and I am sorry that the "Freeman" is being entwined. Note that the result of his legislation means that each individual must establish his own case, by direct evidence, which case is imaginary, for four judicial bodies have failed to lay an accusation. And note further that this case must be made out before an executive who, if the present is successful in the convention and the campaign—will be dominated by the same strenuous ideas. Such adjective and substantive law, I cannot find to have been hitherto promulgated in any of the criminal codes of the nations. Even France abhors and inhibits it. If we bite at this bait we are indeed "suckers." Our duty is plain. Support Foraker for the nomination. Upon his failure to get it, not having a candidate of our own, vote solidly with the democrats or do not vote at all. A supporter of Vardaman has accused us of being ingrates and cowards; let us disprove it; and a man who will not fight for a political principle is a most despicable coward. We have little to lose or gain, it matters not which way it goes. Let me say this and I have done—not done, but will stop—we have nothing to fear in a democrat. He is just what he pretends. He will urge his principle and will fight you about it with his fist or weapon. But he will tell you what he is going to do and give you a chance to prepare. He will not, however, tell you he is with you and then stab you in the back. It is for our very best interest, as well as being good policy, to vote with the democrats, especially those of us living in the South. Had we done this long ago certain unpleasant legislation would never have been placed upon the statute books. I hope that you will continue to preach, propagate and propound this doctrine.

Hynes, of this city, is drawing large houses in Louisville with the exhibition of his stereoopticon views and living pictures. His engagements will probably fill three weeks. At the Hill Street Baptist Church last Thursday night, the house was crowded to its utmost capacity. Last Monday night, in spite of a heavy rain, a very large audience assembled at the Centennial Baptist Church to greet our fellow-townman. On Wednesday night an exhibition was given at the State University for the benefit of the new building. The people of Louisville are loud in expression of praise to Prof. Hynes for his excellent entertainment. DEATH OF S. W. STARKS. Word was received in this city last Friday that Mr. Samuel W. Starks, Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and State Librarian for West Virginia, died in Charleston that morning of peritonitis, after being confined to his bed only one day. Mr. Starks had been the Supreme Chancellor for eight years of the Knights of Pythias and under his leadership the order has more than doubled its membership and has purchased a deal of very valuable property. Upon the receipt of the news of Mr. Stark's death, Dr. J. P. Crawford, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and Dr. R. F. Boyd, G. Worthy Counselor of the Court of Calanthe, issued a proclamation announcing the fact and directing all Pythian Castle Halls to show proper respect by draping with mourning material. In compliance with this the Pythian Temple on Fifth avenue, North, is fittingly draped. Mr. Starks was buried in Charleston last Monday, the funeral being attended by many of the notables of the Pythian order from all over the country. DEATH OF MRS. COPELAND IN KANSAS. Mrs. V. S. Caldwell, of Pulaski, Tenn., passed through the city last Friday night en route to Fort Scott, Kans., to attend the funeral of her daughter, Mrs. Tempie Copeland. Mrs. Copeland was the sister of Miss L. V. Dixon, proofreader at the A. M. E. Church Sunday School Union. The deceased leaves a husband, several children, mother, three sisters two brothers, other relatives and a host of friends to mourn their loss. MISS HILL ENTERTAINS. On last Thursday evening Miss Georgia A. Hill, of 109 Thorn street, entertained in honor of Miss Mattle Cannon. The evening was one of pleasure for all the guests. The honor of the occasion was preparing to leave the city to take up her residence in Kentucky. There were a number of personal friends present, who upon leaving extended their thanks for having been so highly entertained. ALL ABOARD FOR NORFOLK In a Few Days the Conductor Will Make Call. LARGE DELEGATION TO GENERAL CONFERENCE FROM HERE. MANY WILL COME FROM NEARBY TOWNS TO JOIN THE MAIN BODY IN NASHVILLE-WILL TRAVEL OVER ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD - TOURIST SLEEPER HAS BEEN ENGAGED -JOIN WESTERN DELEGATES AT HICKMAN, KY.-GOING THROUGH LOUISVILLE TO MEETING. Only a few days and the delegates to the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church will take their departure for the session which will be held in Norfolk, Va., beginning May 4. The Illinois Central Railroad was successful in securing the contract of conveying the delegates from this vicinity. All of the passenger agents were hustling to secure this business, and the Illinois Central may well feel congratulated on securing this business, for had it not been for the unpleasant affair that happened in the office of one of the roads it is very likely that the delegates would have traveled by that route. It often happens that a whole corporation suffers for the smartness of some little hot-headed, irresponsible clerk who does not know his business. The delegates will start from the Broad street depot. The exact hour could not be learned, but it will not be later than May 1st. A large delegation will leave from here. They will not all be delegates, but are going because they are interested in Church affairs. Some of those going from Nashville and vicinity are Rev. B. G. Gordon, leader of the Tennessee Conference and Chairman of the State delegates; Dr. Dr. W. D. Chappelle, Secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, and his family; Mrs. Ellen Tyree; Rev. A. L. Pinkston and wife; Rev. T. A. Lewis and wife; Mr. D. A. Hart, who has been writing a series of articles on the printing industry in the A. M. E. Church; Dr. T. W. Haig- ler, Rev. G. L. Jackson and wife; Rev. Wm. Flagg, Mr. Win Warfield, lay delegate from Tennessee Annual Conference; Prof. Richard Hill; these will be augmented by others from nearby towns, among whom will be found Rev. J. Q. Johnson and wife, and Rev. G. R. Norman and wife, of Mt. Pleasant; Prof. J. T. Bridgeforth, and Rev. H. L. P. Jones, of Pulaski; Rev. J. A. Jones, President of Shelbyville College, Shelbyville. There will also be a large delegation of business and professional men from Nashville who are going over to speak a good word for Dr. Chappelle who is a popular candidate for the Bishopric. All of Nashville and Tennessee are pulling for Dr. Chappelle for this high honor. DEATH OF PROF.A.D. LANGSTON. Passes Away Quietly at His Home in St. Louis, Mo., After a Short Illness, St. Louis, Mo., April 7—Prof. Arthur D. Langston is no more. All that is mortal and all that is left of the great educator, who for twenty-five years has been foremost in the public school center of the West, lies lifeless in this city. Prof. Langston breathed his last this afternoon in his splendid home at 3540 S. Jefferson avenue. He had put up a splendid fight for his life and showed wonderful strength and a presence of mind that has seldom been equalled. His illness, although not of a long duration, was severe. Gathered about the bedside were the wife, two sons, a sister, mother and other relatives, all of whom had been summoned since his attack and who worked, watched and prayed, but the Grim Reaper stepped forward and issued the summons, taking to its last home one of the race's most noted sons. Prof. Langston was the oldest son of the late ex-Congressman and ex- minister to Hayti, John Mercer Langston. He was the father of Arthur M. Langston, one of the city school teachers, also the father of C. N. Langston, teller of the One Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn.; brother-in-law to Mr. J. C. Napier, cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank. He is also survived by a wife and mother, the latter residing in Washington, D. C. Up to Wednesday it was not definitely decided as to whether the interment would take place in Nashville or in Washington, D. C., as quite a few relatives reside in each place. When a Globe reporter learned of the death of Prof. Langston, Mr. Napier was called up and asked for some information concerning the funeral, but at that time he was unable to state just what the arrangements were, but said he was in telegraphic communication with other members of the family. ENJOYABLE OCCASION . ENJOYABLE OCCASION Miss Sophia Merriweather, of Clarksville, Tenn., was the honoree of an "informal" at the home of Mrs. Hattie Bender, 622 Webster street, Saturday evening, given by Misses L. P. Harding and M. V. Williams. A charming program, including vocal numbers, reading and instrumental numbers, was rendered. The chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. Radford, Mrs. Hattie Bender and Mrs. Nancy Cheatham. Those attending were Misses Sophia Merriweather, Corine McGavock, Malissa Oden, Geneva Bender, Sophronia Brown, — Darrell, Hattie Bingham, Mayme Batts, Myrtle Johnson, Ainsworth Hall, Minnie D.

We are at a loss to find words to express our feeling or gratitude for the many acts of kindness shown us during the illness of our dear daughter and sister, Lottie B. Dux. We want to thank all for their many expressions of sympathy, kind services rendered and the beautiful floral tributes given. We thank Rev. T. J. Goodall for his consoling words at the church and cemetery, Prof. Carney for the excellent paper, Mesdames Lula Bell and Sempkins, Misses Maud Minor, Blondella Dunlap, Fanny Talley, Lula Kesee, Emma L. Quarles and A. Thomas, who kindly served as pallbearers, Misses Leola Firse and Dunlap, Rev Irvine, Prof. Irvine and Mesdames Wells and Clemmons for their services.

The bodies of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, sitting in the Valley of Nashville, State of Tennessee, acknowledge and yield allegiance to the Supreme Council (Mother Council of the World) of the Inspectors-General, Knights Commanders of the House of the Temple of Solomon, of the Thirty-third Degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry for the Jurisdiction of the United States of America and Canada, were visted by the Sovereign Grand Commander, Supreme Council of Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite and Sovereign Grand Inspector-General for the States of Tennessee, Sir Milton F. Fields, 33rd degree, Sunday, March, 29, in the Asylum of Betheden Consistory in the Valley of Nashville, Tenn., also in the Oasis of the Menat Temple of the Mystic Shriners in the Desert of Tennessee. The Sovereign Grand Inspector-General of the Supreme Council was delighted with the work done in the Valley under the management of Prof. W. S. Thompson, 33rd degree, Inspector-General of the Middle Valley of Tennessee, and his co-fraters, Sir J. A. O. Broughton, 32nd degree, Minister of State of Betheden Consistory and Illustrious Potentate of the Menat Temple of the Mystic Shriners for the Oasis of the Valley of Middle Tennessee, and Sir Mark Parker, 32nd degree, Grand Master of the Lodge Knights of Rose Croix of the Betheden Consistory, was advanced to the honored and coveted position of Sovereign Commander-in-Chief of the Betheden Consistory of the Valley of Nashville of the Scottish Rite Masonry; he was accoladed and installed by the Sovereign Grand Commander Supreme Council Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Masonry and Sovereign Grand Inspector-General for United States and Canada Sir Milton F. Fields, of St. Louis, Mo., 33rd degree. There is also now ready a large class of Knights Templars to take the Scottish Rite Degrees, which will be announced later. Probably no event in the masonic annals of historic Nashville has ever furnished more anticipation and importance than the approaching Scottish Rite Convocation that is to be held in the month of April. Every preparation is being made to have the occasion a memorable one. The Sovereign Grand Commander, our beloved brother, Milton F. Fields, of St. Louis, Mo. 33rd degree, has honored this Masonic community by giving it the opportunity to fix in the broad firmament of Freemasonry a new constellation among Scottish Rite bodies that shall blaze, doubtless, as one of the most brilliant of groups in the Southern Jurisdiction, especially in the Valley of Middle Tennessee. And how vast an empire is this Southern Jurisdiction, so termed, over which our Grand Commander and the Supreme Council—the Mother Council of the World—have sway! Upon it somewhere, there is always light; somewhere the dawn light in the East rends the veil of night, or else beyond the "Peaceful Sea," to far off Cathay, there lingers the purple golden afterglow of fading day; to quote from an eloquent apostrophe of the Grand Commander, "Within our boundaries we include the snow mantled West with its youthful vig Mrs. Winnie Mitcham Hart, Mother of D. A. Hart. She Taught Him to Read the Bible in Early Life. AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY D. A. HART. When I was a boy about eight years of age, living on a farm a good many miles from any church, it was one of the greatest delights of my heart to romp the field and forest on Sundays in search of innocent pleasure. There were three brothers of us then at ages that called for these frolics, and other boys near enough to join us augmented the number to six or seven. And being boys we sometimes got into mischief that has not until this day been reported to our parents. But every Sunday morning after we had finished our breakfast, often consisting of gravy, corn cake and buttermilk, it was a rule of our invalid mother that we read a chapter in the Bible before marshalling our forces for our stroll through the fields and forests. The Bible was not incased in a morocco or leather binding, and many years of service had worn away the binding that it at one time possessed; if my memory serves me correctly the books of Genesis and Revelation were partly torn away; but there was enough left to furnish us a Scripture lesson for every Sunday in the year. I was the youngest of three brothers still at home, and neither of us had ever been in a schoolhouse, but by persistent effort, mother had taught us to spell fairly well from an old "Blue Back Speller," as we styled the spelling book which was a great family asset. One of our companions, John Smith by name, had lived in town and had enjoyed the privilege of school opportunities, and in him mother found a ready helper in teaching us to spell the hard names in the Bible. I remember one December we were of fered a prize of a whole "half moon' apple pie if we learned to spell Nebuchadnezzar by Christmas morning. I won mine, as did my brothers so we had a great feast that Christ mas morning on fried pies. It was during those happy days that the fever to know how a book was made came into my mind. Many hours I would sit and turn leaf after leaf, trying to solve the mysteries of the arrangement of the hundreds of pages in one book. It was clear enough to me how the letters on the first page were printed on one side of the leaf, but the more leaves I turned the deeper the mystery became as to how the words were gotten between the remaining hundreds of pages. I was anxious to know how any one could get between the close leaves and put the letters on. The more I thought about it the less I knew about it; but, nevertheless, I kept on thinking. The thought grew with me; but not until September, 1890, did I have an opportunity to walk into a printing office and put my hands on a printing press. I gained my first knowledge of the trade in the office of the "Nashville Tribune," a weekly newspaper then published in Nashville, Tenn. The first day I worked in that place I "kicked" off 1,500 cards on a job press, working all day without din SUPPLEMENT NASHVILLE GLOBE. ner. Just at quitting time a band passed, which was a signal for me to strike out for a march. I forgot I was hungry and followed that band for over two miles. It made no difference whether I had a full stomach or an empty one; the band was playing and I was working in a printing office. As the time went on day by day the mysteries long pondered in my mind were little by little unraveled to me. They even showed me the "type lice." I remained with the Tribune Printing Company about six months and they made about six weekly payments during that time. But I hung on, hoping that a brighter day would dawn. Many were the cold, wet nights that I would wade through water over my shoe tops to get home. But I was concerned about the secrets of the art and could not be satisfied elsewhere than in the printing office. In the spring of 1891 I left the Tribune and secured a position at the A. M. E. Church Sunday School Union. Here I met two pioneers in the matter of putting young Negroes of the South in touch with modern printing methods in the persons of Dr. C. S. Smith, now Bishop Smith, and Mr. Chas. H. Burrill, a native of Providence, R. I. You are no doubt well acquainted with the great accomplishments achieved by Bishop Smith while he was Secretary of the Sunday School Union of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, but probably you do not know ```markdown ``` that he was the first man of the Negro race to successfully conduct a publishing house. This is nevertheless true. And as pioneer he suffered more than pen will ever be able to write or tongue to tell. Mr. Chas. H. Burrill came South and labored for years to instil into the young Negroes the fundamental principles of the art of printing. He could have remained at his home with his family and among friends, but he realized that the harvest was ripe, waiting for reapers to reap. He can truly be called the "father of printing among Negroes in the South." I went into the duties of my new position with the same determination and anxiety that had always haunted me in the pursuit of my chosen profession, and soon I realized that a brighter day had dawned. I then got down to hard work and for over seventeen years I have made a special, practical study of printing and publishing. I have seen many newspaper and job printing offices spring up, and many of them I have seen disappear into the shadow of utter failure. I have enjoyed the privilege to be associated with one or the other of the two largest printing concerns in the world conducted by Negroes, namely: the Sunday School Union of the A. M. E. Church, and the National Baptist Publishing Board, located in Nashville, Tenn., and I am well acquainted OUR DENOMINATIONAL PRINTING « A Series of Articles on the Printing Interests of the Church Run in Re: cent Issues of the Monitor. with their struggles and the many hardships and inconveniences that have been endured to accomplish what has been achieved. The success of these two institutions has been mar- velous when all things are taken into consideration, and in my discussions of our “Denominational Printing” | will endeavor to keep in mind what has been accomplished and what it cost in expenditures of money and sacrifices on the part of all who have been concerned. The African ‘Methodist Episcopal Church is, without doubt, the most completely organized body of Negroes in the world, and as such must of ne- cessity be expected to take the lead CHAPTER I. In a preceding article I stated tha: in this issue of the Monitor I would talk to you about the printing inter- ests of our Church, and would endeav- or to point out to you some of the hin- drances that stand in the way and re- tard our progress in the dissemination of truth to the hundreds of thousands of eager ears all over this country and in other countries that are open daily listening for words of enlight- ment that they feel should be sent forth by the sons of Allen. The fathers of the African Method- ist Episcopal Church realized from the beginning, no doubt, that. the fos- tering of church work effectively de- pended largely upon the printing house, and they will never, perhaps, be given the credit due them for what they have accomplished. Neverthe- less, they have held on, and for over fifty years have conducted a printing house in some form. The losses have been great, and at times it has no doubt appeared that it would be im- possible to keep the doors open, but the “Book Concern” of the A. M. E. Church is still a reality in some shape, form or fashion. The perpetuation of the church de- manded and still demands, and more so now than ever, that a_ printing house be maintained. It might well be said that from a material point of view, the denominational printing press is the hub of the church, and it is an undeniable fact that religious societies the world over have pros- pered in proportion to the efficiency of their publishing concerns. The church printing houses have al- ways taken the lead in spreading truth to the masses, and the day was when they were largely looked to for every- thing that amounted to much in the way of books, magazines and news- papers. It is also true in this day that the only printing concerns conducted by Negroes that have reached posi- tions of respectability are those fos- tered by the religious denominations. This is due to the fact that the de- mand for religious books, magazines and newspapers is greater among our SUPPLEMENT NASHVILLE GLOBE. in everything that affects church work. And with our system of con- centration it is possible for us to con- trol more people in the same period of time than any other organization in the race of a like nature. We must admit, however, that the only way to do this is through the press, and in order that the press may be able to do the work successfully, it must be in trained hands. I want to talk to you about printing as an art, for it is an art, and has been fittingly styled the “Art Preservative.” A man must be trained to print, as he is trained to paint, and to be a successful printer and publisher he must have an adap- tation to the trade. He must be prac- By D. A. Hart. people than the demand for commer- cial printing. You ask why is this so; simply because as a race the Negroes own more churches than commercial enterprises. There are four church publishing houses conducted by Ne- groes in the South, and not one of them could keep open six weeks if they had to depend exclusively upon the revenue derived from printing oth- er than that done for their respective denominations. But, fortunately, the church and Sunday school printing in any of the four concerns in mind, namely the A. M. E. Church Sunday School Union and the National Bap- tist Publishing Board, located in Nashville, Tenn., the C. M. BE. Pub- lishing House, in Jackson, Tenn., and the A. M. E. Zion Publishing House, in Charlotte, N. C., are all kept busy attending to the printing and bind- ing of books and Sunday school liter- ature for their respective denomina- tions. And with all of their facilities they cannot print one-tenth of the books bought by the members of the churches that support these institu- tions. The Negro of the twentieth cen- tury is fast learning that everything he reads in books, magazines and newspapers js not true, and he is learning, further, that Negroes can best write for Negroes, and will come nearer telling the truth on his brother than will those who have not that same feeling of brotherly love toward him. He reads the daily paper, and finds columns about some large Ne- gro gathering that has been in ses- sion; but he is better satisfied after he reads one-half a column in the little Negro weekly that comes to him after all the delegates have been home for several days. Another thing he is learning is the difference between pat- ent and original matter; and he is learning that some authors write things to print in periodicals and books published to teach Christianity that would make bad reading in a dime novel. He is, therefore, crying out for a wholesome literature that will enlighten him, and that he can put beside that published by other na- tionalities and say with assurance, 3, hovertsol Jontgomery tewart Cour of twe 3: that ity me 3e8, ex tall m ‘reet, 0 3 cony delege te in « | Conv rther « in goc ified to ( Cong t neith paymen equisite said co inty, P +’, Richa Chappe A.

He must know that some machines are made to sell and that they serve better as sellers than as workers. He must know how to buy and manufac- ture economically in order that he may be able to sell a good article cheaply at a profit. The African Methodist Episcopal Church pays for a big lot of printing, and I shall en- deavor to show how all of it can be done in a way to enable the printing departments to sell books, magazines and newspapers as cheaply as any other concern and at the same time make a reasonable profit. “This is my authority. Dr. Solomon and Prof. Johnson were men of strong character and ability. I can rely on what they say. They spent so many and so many years searching out this or that, and were recognized by the world as among the foremost writers of their day.” { want to impress upon your minds one fact, and that is, it takes many years to reach this degree of promi- nence in the art of printing to be able to cope with the leaders in this race to create the sentiment of the world, but I hold that the A. M. E. Church, by virtue of seniority, ought to be expected to take the lead in this race so far as the American Negro is concerned. Is there anything in the way to impede her progress? I contend that there is. What are these hindrances, and is there a remedy? I will endeavor to point them out to you between now and the first Mon- day in May, in order that when we meet in Norfolk we may be acquainted with the facts. Suppose I draw in your mind an imaginary map on which you can lo- cate the departments of our church that require an amount of printing to warrant consideration. We will start with the oldest in the connec- tion which is the Book Concern in Philadelphia, Pa., in the eastern part of our country, and far removed from a large majority of the membership of the Church. Not one in a thou- sand have ever seen it. Next, we will mention the Foreign Mission depart- ment, located in New York City, far- ther still from a central point. Then we have the Allen Christian Endeav- or Department, located’ in Jackson- ville, Fla, Next, fix in your mind the Southern Christian Recorder, located in Columbus, Ga., and, fifth, the giant printing house in the connection, the A. M. EB. Church Sunday School Union, located in Nashville, Tenn. These five departments use the bulk of the printing that is to be done for the Church. Draw your map well and study it carefully. Fix the distance between these departments. You say they are all independent. So is every state in the Union, but each one is ren- ae is a Fo ; wed E ee = ey ead gs ail 4 a wl ~ . e ara Pi, i 7 ca ¥ r ‘ P ii é Reading from left to right: Dayton Arabelle, Mrs. Lillie B.

The government could not afford to maintain a congressional hall in every state, and could never pass a Dill, for it would require all the time of each session for the reading clerk to go from state to state and read the presi- dent’s message. And the main trou- ble with our printing as a denomina- tion is it is too scattered. There is not enough printing in the Church to maintain five establishments on a profitable basis. True all of them are not attempting to conduct a printing house, but each of the departments referred to must have an office. And of the five only two are located in buildings that belong to the church.

Would you have a central building and locate all of these departments in it? Yes. Would you require the manager of this central building to furnish these departments quarters free? No; not if they are to conduct a separate business. : Then how would it help the Con- neetion and the departments? The Connection would receive the rent money that is now being paid to outside parties, The departments could be housed cheaper in one build- ing than they can be in five separate buildings. Where would you locate this build- ing? In Nashville, Tenn. Why would you select that city? SUPPLEMENT NASHVILLE GLOBE. First, because it is the most cen- trally located among the membership of our Connection? Secondly, because there are more church printing houses located in that city than any in the South. These institutions are of great help to each other in more ways than space will admit me to mention here, but suffice to say that their work is of kindred natures and a friendliness exists be- tween them all seldom seen among manufacturing concerns. Does it cost any more to mail a package from Philadelphia or New York to San Francisco than it does from Nashville? No; but it does cost more to ship the same package by express, and it requires more time to send it by mail or express. Time is a factor in everything, and especially so to the publisher. An- swering complaints about orders not being delivered will make a big hole in the profits of any publishing con- cern, and still the concern that does not answer these complaints will soon realize a falling off in receipts. We will take one item of expense connected with this feature which cannot be eliminated from the cost. A two-cent stamp is required to trans- mit a letter, no matter how far or how near, Suppose there were two hun- dred complaints to four of these de- partments each month it would mean a monthly expenditure of $32.00 for stamps alone or an annual expendi- ture of $384.00. If we estimate that the cost of stationery, such as envel- opes, letterheads, ete., and labor would amount to two cents per letter, we have an annual expenditure of $768.00 for answering complaints. Half of this amount must be expended by the department and an equal amount by the churches. It means $768.00 spent that could be devoted to the dissemina- tion of literature, tracts and Bibles to needy communities thereby sav- ing the souls of men. But, I dare say any one of our printing depart- ments spends more each month than I have calculated. This expense can be system that is being seriously consid- greatly reduced by centralization, the ered by all church organizations. CHAPTER II. Space will not permit a long article in this issue of The Monitor, but 1 wish to drop a few thoughts here for your consideration. Books, magazines and newspapers published to spread Gospel truths de- mand the most careful preparation, and none should be entrusted with any beok, magazine or newspaper ot a religious denominational charac- ter except those especially trained to do such work. They should have the best literary training, and in addition special training in theolozy and the doc- trine and laws of their denomination. You will readily agree with me that it requires all the ability that is possi- ble for a man to possess to fit him- self to prepare religious literature to meet the demands of this age. Sup- pose, then, we liken that man’s mind to a gallon bucket full of theological and doctrinal water; what would hap- pen if you attempted to put into the same bucket at the same time a gal- lon of type and printer's ink? Any schoolboy will tell you that all of the theological and doctrinal water will be crowded out. The point I want you to see is this: The art of printing is as difficult to master as the science of theology. The man who deals with the commercial world is not fit to deal with things spiritual to the extent of shaping the destinies of human souls. Only the called of God should be entrusted with the preparation of religious literature. And it is truly so that only those with trained minds and hands in the art of printing and publishing can successfully conduct printing houses. I superintend the printing of Sunday-school literature six days in every week, yet I am compelled to prayerfully study my lesson nights to be prepared to meet my school on Sunday. As to whether a minister or a layman should manage our printing houses, to my mind, is not the point we should consider, but the fitness of the man. But I do contend that the editing of our church and Sundayschool literature should be entrusted to our best theological scholars. Without the ministry we have no Church—they are the head, but the laity is the body. Brethren, we are inseparable, therefore, let us dwell together in love and unity. CHAPTER III. In my first article on the above subject I attempted to fix in your minds the scattered condition of our printing houses. I also tried to show some of the disadvantages brought about by such an arrangement. I made an estimate as to the cost of postage for complaints on condition that a certain number of customers should have cause to complain about not receiving literature, books or newspaper. The estimate was not intended to give anything like the expense entailed by these five departments each year for postage on letters answering complaints, but merely a basic principle to serve as a guide. Suppose we have another short conversation about these perforated sheets of paper with a thin coating of mucilage on the back. There are over 5,000 Sunday-schools in the African Methodist Church. Let us suppose that one out of every five should have cause to order supplies each quarter in the year from some department other than our Sunday School Union in Nashville; we would have 1,000 schools buying 1,000 two-cent stamps per quarter or 4,000 stamps per year, which would cause an annual expenditure of 8,000 cents per year or $80.00; if you multiply this amount by five you have an annual expenditure of $400.00 that could be reduced to $80.00 if we had a central building. But time and space will not permit further discussion on postage stamps, for I could go on enumerating item by item of these apparently little nothings until an enormous sum would stare you in the face. I will therefore take up some of the more important things to be dealt with in conducting a printing house on a large scale. f t n t o I want to engage your attention for the present to a discussion of our publications that are issued from the five departments in our church that we must class as printing houses, SUPPLEMENT NASHVILLE GLOBE. namely, the Book Concern, which publishes the Christian Recorder, weekly; the Review, quarterly, and is supposed to publish the Hymnal, Hymn Book, the Discipline, and other text books for the enlightenment of the A. M. E. preachers and the laity as well. It requires to run this plant all the machinery necessary to operate a regular manufacturing plant, such as steam boilers, engines, belting and shafting, or if electricity is used, individual motors, heating either by steam or stoves, elevators, etc. A regular force must be employed; in short, almost every expense that is attached to any well-regulated printing office is attached to our Book Concern. The Foreign Mission Department which publishes "The Voice of Missions" has its printing done by contract, but an office must be maintained, the rent for which could be saved to the Church. And so on we take the other three departments and we have a like condition of affairs. Five concerns in different parts of the country, costing the Church fully three times what they ought to cost! A Now we will estimate another item of expense that could be greatly reduced by merging these three departments into one, namely, white printing paper. You will readily agree with me that you can get a better price on a barrel of potatoes than you can if you buy them one peck at a time; the same is true of printing paper. If these five departments were merged into one, enough could be saved in the cost of paper each year if properly handled, to pay the salaries of two general officers. Let us stop long enough to sum up the magazines and newspapers published by these five departments; in Philadelphia we publish the Christian Recorder, weekly, and the Review quarterly; in New York we publish by contract the Voice of Missions, monthly; in Jacksonville, Fla., we publish the literature for the Endeavor Department, such as Topic Cards, Constitutions, Tracts, etc.; in Columbus, Ga., we publish the Southern Christian Recorder; in Nashville, Tenn., we publish the Teacher and Scholar's Quarterlies, the Gem and Juvenile Lesson Papers and the Sunday School Monitor. Suppose then, just for the sake of argument, we estimate the number of copies of each of these periodicals printed each issue as follows: the Christian Recorder, 10,000 weekly; the Review, 5,000 quarterly; the Voice of Missions, 15,000 monthly; the Southern Christian Recorder, 5,000 weekly; the Sunday School Monitor, 5,000 semi-monthly; The Teacher's Quarterly, 25,000 quarterly; the Scholar's Quarterly,150,000 quarterly; the Juvenile and Gem. 25,000 monthly. The Endeavor literature we will class as stock work or matter not issued periodically. By lumping all the above periodicals we get an annual number of impressions of over 3,000,000, requiring a consumption of more than 6,000 reams of paper. When you talk to a paper dealer about 6,000 reams of paper he is going to listen to you very attentively, and he is going to make you prices that will mean the saving of a neat sum of money annually. Suppose we average this paper at 70 pounds to the ream: we get a total of 420,000 pounds of paper. Suppose then we estimate that this paper as it is bought now costs on an average of 5 cents per pound; we have a total of $21,000. Suppose by merging all this business we would be able to strike an average of four cents per pound for this same paper, the 420,000 pounds would cost us $16,800, a difference of $4.200 saved on the paper item or nearly enough to pay the salary of two Bishops. More than that amount of paper is consumed annually by these departments, and a great deal more ought to be consumed than is; but these figures will serve to give you an idea of what it is possible to gain by having a central printing house. Again, whereas five general officers are required to do this work, one could do it just as well and better. You say, These men have other work attached to their duties, but the point I would have you see is this, they cannot prosecute the work laid out by our Discipline and dabble in paper buying. The great drawback to our printing is, we have secretaries where we ought to have editors. These secretary-editors are supposed to teach Christian living, but they are compelled to spend most of their energies trying to keep up with the business affairs of their departments. You say: But it would require a large force of clerks and bookkeepers to conduct such a business. Each one of these departments now has a bookkeeper and a clerical force. One bookkeeper or one clerk could do the work of five if our printing were properly merged and systematized. You say: But it would require an enormous expenditure of money for printing presses and other machinery. Let us see if this is true. We have two as high grade book printing presses in our Sunday School Union in Nashville, Tenn., as are made in the world—modern and up-to-date Twentieth Century machines. By attaching to these two presses automat- 6 [Name not visible in the image] REV. JOHN HURST, D. D. Rev. John Hurst, D. D., pastor of Waters A. M. E. Church, Baltimore, Md., was born in 1863, graduated from Wilberforce University in 1886, was assigned to the Foreign Missionary field and served as Superintendent of Missions in Hayti. Dr. Hurst filled the position of Secretary of the Haytian Legation in Washington from 1889 to 1903, and since has served as pastor of Crowdensville Circuit, Bethel Church and Waters Chapel in the Baltimore Conference. For eight years he has been Secretary of the Financial Board and is thoroughly conversant with the operation of that Department of our Church. ic Cross Continuous Paper Feeders at a cost of $3,000 they can produce 20,000 impressions per day. We have 313 working days in each year. We will take off 13 days for holidays, then we will estimate that one-fourth of the time be consumed in losses of time and making ready forms which will leave us 225 days. At 20,000 impressions per day we would get 4,500,000 impressions per year from these two machines. Two Mergenthaler linotype typesetting machines could be purchased and installed for $8,000, and all the periodicals referred to above could be set on these two machines. And it is easy to buy machinery if you know how. There are several makes of typesetting machines, but my reason for naming the Mergenthaler is because it is the most practical, and is in use in several of the largest printing concerns conducted in this country by Negroes. To my knowledge there are six typesetting machines owned and operated in the offices conducted by our people, and four of these are of SUPPLEMENT NASHVILLE GLOBE the Mergenthaler make, against two of the Simplex pattern. I know of three other concerns that are considering the addition of typesetting machines to their plants, and all of them are inclined toward the Mergenthaler. The Tuskegee Industrial Institute has recently added to its printing department one of these machines, and employs two competent instructors, practical men, who are competent to turn out operators who can go from that institution full-fledged journeyman workmen, able to hold their own beside the best operators in the country. These advantages should be an incentive to the Negroes who contemplate making advancement in the printing business to purchase the machine for which they can have a hope of securing Negro operators. One of these machines has the capacity of setting as much type as five men. The Cross Continuous Paper Feeders are to my mind the best on the market to-day. They are the embodiment of simplicity, which is the best guarantee of their worth. The first sold south of the Ohio river was bought upon my recommendation. A boy was put in charge of it and is running it without any trouble. Pardon me, but I wish to relate an incident that happened at the Baptist Publishing House one evening. Dr. Boyd and I were standing near one of the presses equipped with one of these feeders, and in less time than it takes to tell it, the light went out, and in the dark the feeder worked right on just as if nothing had happened. We will now take up the rent item of the three printing houses that are located in buildings that do not belong to the Church. We will start with the Missionary Department. I have never seen the headquarters of that department, but I feel safe in saying that the secretary has to pay at least $100 per month rent. Here we have an annual expenditure of $1,200. We will estimate that the Endeavor Secretary and the Editor of of the Southern Christian Recorder pay $25.00 per month, which gives us a total of $600, which added to the Missionary Secretary's rent, gives us a total of $1,800. At least half of this amount could be saved if these departments were in one central building. Add this $900 to $4,200 and we have a total of 5,100 that can be saved to the Church each year on two items alone. DR. J. Q. JOHNSON. Rev. J. Q.

By The Rev. T. A. Thompso This is an age of practical affairs in which specialists predominate, and the “jack of all trades” and the “gin hand” are, by their utter desuetude and ineapability, rapidly taking their places with the days of antiquity. All accomplishment and_ progress is di- vided into specialties. The lawyer, the doctor and the teacher are not the all-encompassing generalizers’ they were a decade ago. If a client wants constitutional law, he hies himself to a constitutional lawyer; if he wants divorce, criminal or custom-house law, he seeks a specialist to answer his de- sires. And so on, with the signs of the times, every phase of progressive activity is separated into its division or sub-division, the addenda and knowledge of which furnish food for a lifetime’s study.

It cost the writer several hundred dollars upon two distinet occasions to acquire the valuable information that he was not a great journalist, des- tined to electrify the great reading world with pen-drippings from his surpassing genius served up in weekly issues of cold type. In the second venture this rare information was so acutely emphasized that he decided to stick to his last ever in the future and to do the Master’s bidding in the way he long had sought. The natural classification of the af- fairs and endeavors of men has made the general scheme of their progress more satisfactory and efficacious to their needs; has augmented the fund of information along all lines and fur- DPMS WE a aera Ben) eke.

Church. nished a field for the employment of more professional men. A man falls into his line as a matter of sequence, and his success is only limited by the degree of his knowledge and ability. System is the result of this logical classification, and no division of hu- man endeavor has failed to come un- der the salutary influence of its ban. The brave old African Methodist Episcopal Church, under whose _be- nign shadow I have labored as a min- Ister for nearly two-score years, is among the first religious organizations to follow this new departure of ap- Plying specialists to its various de- partments. It has developed to be the policy of this Church to employ men only in lines they fully understand. In its deliberations the popularity ot the aspirant counts for naught with- out fitness, and usually it has a wide range of excellent material from which to select its officers. For the administration of its financial affairs the great organization has always been careful to select men who by ex- perience and study, are aptly qualified to handle its intricate and varying problems of finance. For missionary and church extension the Church has for years picked men who have a per- sonal adaptation for conquests in for- eign and strange fields—men who are able to involve a strategical scheme of conquest and successfully consum- mate it for the credit and honor of the connection. The fact that the Church has upon several occasions left the pulpit and gone into the pew for the purpose of securing the most available person for an office is a healthy sign which has been proved to be an eminently successful experiment, and has a far- reaching influence in the development of the organization. After all of the sacrifices and incessant labor of the minister, the self-denial and heart struggles, the layman is the founda- tion of the Church. It is for him and with him that we are laboring. The attraction of his interest furnishes the key to our success with the Church. I feel that I am safe in saying that ir. the bosom of every Methodist min- ister there is cherished, without conr- tention, a fond hope that some day his struggles will become less intense, his burdens lighter and that he will be called to a higher position in the Chureh and receive a material reward for the battles he has fought and won in the name of the Master. Really the minister would not be human if he did not expect to ascend with his Church. Then, why should not the faithful layman, the militant Chris- tian, the man in the trenches, who helds up our hands in progressive work, who sighs as we sigh and strug- gles as we struggle and fights as we fight in Christian battles, be extended the open door for Christian reward as well as the clergy? This disposition expressed as the policy of the Church has the effect to inspire the laity to renew their en- ergy in the work and encourages their ambition to attain fitness and useful- ness, all of which expands the scope of the organization's influence. In most cases the layman who is ele- vated to high position has such sin- gular qualifications that the connec- tion reaps a rich reward from his abilities. For instance, let us refer to the de- nominational printing and publishing, TOL GUase tue le eo travesty upon the rights of free men; Mawr ne Ae Sse ek Cie delegates; Stewart Co ; ence b) th ity 3 3e8, call reel 3 CC 7 del te i tC wth in ified A.M. ic tn nav 8 which with the growth of the Church and the progress of the times demands, as a matter of necessity, that the trained hand of a specialist direct this important department. The character and intelligence of the connection is faithfully reflected by the quality of its literature. The ecclesiastical "gin hand" is almost criminally out of place here. The lines of friendly rivalry, not to say competition, are drawn so sharply between the various colored church denominations, that it behooves each church to thresh out the highways, byways and hedges and bring out the best men—men who are thoroughly conversant with the technique of printing and publishing. If such a man should happen to be a minister of the Gospel, put him forward; but, as is more likely to be the case, if he is a layman, place him at the head of the department and make him succeed. Printing is a delicate art, and publishing is a thing apart. This is where the law of specializing comes in. Many people, and thoughtful people at that, are inclined to run these two kindred avocations the one into the other. D. A. Hart is the only man I know who has done this successfully. In church affairs printing is the manufacture of church and Sunday-school literature, and publishing is the distribution of this matter and collecting the money for it. Soon after I went to Nashville, Tenn., some years ago to take charge of St. John's Church I met D. A. Hart, who has since risen to the distinction of being the best qualified Negro printer and publisher in the country. I say that I met him, and that was a foregone conclusion. You just could not keep from meeting him. If you had an occasion to visit any printing office you were sure to stumble over young Hart. He veritably haunted such places. With me he came to be a sort of synonym for printing. If I smelt printer's ink, I would unconsciously look around for "Dock." In those days the lives of colored printing establishments were precarious indeed. They would spring up like dandelions, blossom and pass out. Every time one would go down "Dock" would go down with it. He was a sort of Casabianca, being the last to leave the burning deck. But as soon as another printing office and journalistic effort would bob up there would be "Dock," smiling serenely and satisfied, standing by her side. His "devilship" was served in various places, but he was growing all of the time, growing in knowledge and true manhood. The boy so impressed me in those days that when I see him now a dignified business man, a successful publisher and a competent superintendent, in spite of myself, I think I get a whiff of printers' ink. When the Sunday School Union burnt out at Nashville in 1895 Hart was employed there as foreman. He had striven hard to reach that point and was going steadily on to the front. This setback would have throttled the hopes of the average youth. The Sunday School Union SUPPLEMENT NASHVILLE GLOBE was the only place that afforded him a chance to advance his knowledge, and it was decided at that time not to replace the printing machinery which was destroyed. But Hart was made of sterner stuff. He determined to keep eternally at his profession, and finally became a porter in the largest printing house in the South, at which position he remained for two years. On account of his being a colored man he was not permitted to use his hands in printing, but the most virulent case of colorphobia could not restrain him from using his eyes. He watched the progress of the art, and swept the floor, all of the time making mental notes and placing them aside for future reference. Finally Dr. R. H. Boyd came to Nashville and started the National Baptist Publishing House, and with this event came Hart's opportunity. With the exception of a very short period since 1898, during which time he was connected with the Sunday School Union, he has been by the side of Dr. Boyd and has been the strongest attribute in the wonderful success of that institution. At present he is superintendent and has under his immediate charge more than $150,000 worth of machinery and printing materials. He went to New York to learn the linotype and came back to Nashville and installed them in his institution. He buys in the Nashville market each year between $50,000 and $60,000 worth of plain white paper for the printing of the literature of the house with which he is connected. Under his charge are nearly two hundred men and women, every one of whom is colored, and the quality of the work turned out is second to none that is done in the country. With all this he has reduced the cost of production in such a manner that he is permitted to go into open competition with the leading white printing establishments in the country, and they have learned to stir their stumps when they know that D. A. Hart is bidding against them on large contracts. This young man is a specialist in his line and to return to the text, he has shown what wonderful possibilities are in store for the man who sticks to one thing and continues to study and practice what he learns. Mr. Hart was born in the A. M. E. Church, grew up under its influence, and now in the city of Nashville there is no more earnest, devoted and capable churchman than is this young specialist. He has studied the growth of commercial and lodge printing, aside from the church and Sundayschool division of the business. In fact, he has probably done more than any one to develop this sort of printing. He fully understands just where this business is in the South, and knows how to get it. After getting it in hand he knows how to conduct its completion in a manner which brings profit to the house with which he is connected and satisfaction to the patron. This sort of business has grown to be a great consideration within the last few years and Mr. Hart has watched it grow with much satisfaction, all of the time using the power of his position to foster its growth. I have always endeavored to be practical in my conclusions, and I am ever conscious and solicitous of the good of the Church in which I have spent my life and labor, and it does seem to me, that since D. A. Hart, being available and a high-grade Methodist, it will be a great stroke of fine judgment if the General Conference of my Church should elect this brilliant young man to the Secretaryship of the Sunday School Union. That organization needs a specialist, and we happen to have the best equipped specialist that the race affords right in our own organization. There is no viewpoint in which the matter appears but that Mr. Hart stands out conspicuously as the one man for the place. With his magnificent record of constructive success behind him with his inherent devotion to his Church to spur him on, he would make the Sunday School Union what it should be, the model of intelligent Negro printing and publishing enterprise in the world. If D. A. Hart should be elected, such of the old guard as the writer represents would return to our duties with a kindly thought that our own work among the young Methodists had been compensated; and the young people would be pervaded by a new ambition. It would be easier for us to teach the child to aspire because of a living example in our own Church, wherein it could be shown that merit had been rewarded and our prophecies and precepts had been proven. It matters not how the candidacy of D. A. Hart appears, whether in sentiment or practicability, he is the one man and the most available man for the position of Secretary. He has spent nearly twenty years fitting himself for the place; he has lived a model active Christian life that he might have moral fitness; his ability and foresight would provide a panacea for all the ills that seem to beset one of our most important departments and he should be elected. When you get to Norfolk see MR. HART, He has a present for every delegate. Don't fail to get YOURS.

She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, little son, mother, father, one sister, four brothers and a numerous host of friends. The funeral services were held at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of which she had been a member for several years, and were conducted by Rev. S. A. Matthews. The pall-bearers were Messdames Maud Bankston, Janie King, Misses Willa B. Dodson and Anna Burst. Alsup & McGavock were the funeral directors. The interment was at Greenwood.

On Friday night at the residence of Mr. Jno. A. Galloway were gathered members and friends of the Young Men's Literary Club, the occasion being a "Tacky Party." Quite well did it bear its name, "tacky," for everything from the young ladies down to the refreshments, was "tacky" and carried out in "tacky" style. If circumstances would permit, we would be glad to describe each individual costume, but it suffices to say, they were well adapted to the occasion. Most notable was the "antiqua regalia regina" of Miss C. O. Richardson, and the appearance of Miss T. L. Hughes as the Antique Vernal Queen. Miss Estella Campbell appeared in "Mother Hubbard" style and bade fair to have been the choice of the judges for the prize had it not been for the fact that her escort changed his regalia too soon. The prize was won by Mr. H. J. Stockard and Miss Willie M. Garfrey. It would take at least two writers to describe the appearance of this couple. Mr. J. M. Dean appeared in one boot and one shoe, with striped trousers to match. The enjoyments of the evening were many. Several games as well as dancing were the principal features. The next thing of note was the refreshments. The first course was arranged on a small table and brought into the room, and much laughter as well as surprise was elicited when the company realized that the first course was turnip greens and cornbread. Some young ladies were too modest to eat greens, and some gentlemen were, too. But, nevertheless, no greens were left in the dish. The second course consisted of apples, stick candy and bananas. This received its just attention also. Those present were Misses Carrie O. Richardson, Tennie L. Hughes, Velma Mosley, Ophelia Rivers, Sadieerman, Willie M. Garfield, Estelle Campbell, Alberta Rivers, Carrie Stockard, Messrs. J. Caldwell, A. R. and H. J. Stockard, L. G. Hockett, M. Douglass, J. L. Leach, E. L. Berry, M. Dean, S. H. Rhodes, E. L. Kinzer, Geo. O. Darden, W. A. Stockell, Jno. A. Galloway, A. N. Owen, E. P. Bond, Mesdames Amanda Richards, Sarah Wilson, Annie Robinson, Russell Stockard. The prize was a handsome box of paper. THE EUREKA DANCING CLASS. The Eureka Dancing Class, which was instituted at the Odd Fellows Auditorium last September by Prof. Dock Liner, has made a good name for itself, and is an honor to the public and a credit to the manager. Prof. Liner is master of the terpsichorean art, as well as a high-class instructor to perfect one in the science to "tip the fantastic toe" in the most graceful and refined way. He has made himself proficient in the standard dances by application and hard study. He spares no pains to have his scholars receive a thorough knowledge of the movements in polite dancing. He has the reputation of teaching one how to waltz or two-step in ten minutes. He has sent out from his dancing class over 500 scholars, not one of whom he needs to be ashamed of as to their attainment in scholarship for dancing. You can readily tell his scholars from other dancers in a reception hall or entertainment. Prof. Liner has a first-class orchestra, composed of six pieces as follows: Prof. — Thompson, 1st cornet; C. M. Davis, 2nd cornet; Phil Linsley, Mandolin; — Johnson, Pianist; Yateman Milam, Guitar; N. C. Davis, Trombone. Each one of these is a professor in the handling of his instrument, all of which blend with sweet harmony, so as to have smooth and glide dancing instead of common jump-up dancing. Prof. Liner is a member of the Western Instructors Association, that requires this kind of music to carry out the dances now put on. Prof. Liner, at an early day, will present to the public four of the new dances as follows: Mazourka three-step, Ocean Wave Glide, the Cuban Davada and Dacoma two-step. He will put on eight couples to exhibit the dances at the Easter Entertainment to be given at the Odd Fellow's Auditorium, April 20th. Every business and professional man or woman in the city will be invited to attend upon this occasion, by way of complimentary tickets, to witness these beautiful dances. $ ^{8} $ The Auditorium will be decorated with flowers, and two electric fans will be put in to keep you cool, while two buzz fans will be placed in the orchestra circle to make everything inviting. Fruit, ice cream and punch will be served in first-class style. The people of Nashville, especially the young folks, should appreciate such a place provided for their pleasure and enjoyment, as well as an opportunity to be trained in dancing moves of the standard type. We bear witness to these statements by signing our names to the same: Hue Box, Herbert McBride, George Howell, Charlie Kelly, Joe Webster, Samuel L. Houston, Anthony Porter, Melvin Hayes, Moses McKis- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1908 sack, E. L. Thomas, Johnson Cockrill J. S. Clark, John F. Vaughn, D. W. Crutcher, R. H. Voorhees, J. W.

Church held their regular weekly meeting Monday afternoon, April 6, at 3 o'clock. Miss Duncan greatly interested the ladies in her lecture on "Proper care for the sick," in which she beautifully outlined the essential points: ventilation, light, food, care of the patient's bed, and how to make it comfortable. After a general discussion all expressed themselves greatly benefited, and Miss Duncan was offered a vote of thanks for her instructive and inspiring lecture. On Monday evening, April 13, Miss Head, Traveling Secretary of the Woman's Home Missionary Society, will lecture on "How the School Children may be Helped in the Home." All are invited to come and join in the discussion. The attendance is increasing weekly and all who are interested in the men and women of the future are invited and urged to make a sacrifice if necessary to attend these meetings every Monday, and further prepare themselves and others to help the boys and girls of to-day. CITY PASTORS ENTERTAINED. Rev. G. W. Wilson, pastor of Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, gave a dinner Wednesday, April 1, to the city pastors and their assistants, who are engaged in revivals, in honor of Rev. B. F. Farrell, D. D., of Indianapolis, who is assisting in the revival at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church. The following were present: Rev. S. A. Matheus and J. W. Cock, of Dickson, Tenn.; Rev. J. C. Lott, pastor of Kayne Avenue Baptist Church; and Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church. The time was employed in the forenoon in talking of the early ministry of these divines. Dinner was called shortly after two o'clock, and was served without particular regard to style, but all the dainties of the season were on the well regulated table, which was very tastefully arranged by Rev. Mr. Wilson's sister, who is keeping house for him. After dinner was served speechmaking was the order of the day. Rev. Mr. Cook was elected master of ceremonies, and all the divines indulged in conversation that related to revivals and those who conducted them. ST. ELI BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. The Bible Band met at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The lesson was from the third chapter of Philippians. It was beautifully illustrated by Mrs. M. E. Walton. Mrs. Johmy Demoss read a paper on the "Life of Moses." Mrs. Fannie Rucker made a few remarks encouraging the Band to continue in their work. The Ladies' Auxiliary met in its regular session Monday night. The officers were all present. After the general routine of business several addresses were delivered to the club. The pastor, Rev. G. Thompson, spoke many encouraging words. Mr. J. L. Douglas, our beloved deacon, was also present and gave us an interesting address.

CLEAN HANDS He who would enter a court of equity should first of all have his own hands clean of wrong doing. Likewise, he who would inveigh against mob methods should himself be innocent of the use of such tactics. Especially should this be conned by the "bolting" faction of the republican party in this state. In their attempt to gain sympathy and to hide the chagrin caused by losing what they thought was a committee-selected-state-convention, the "bolters," with holy horror, refer to the recent convention as a mob. But the "bolters," the chairman of whose convention it seems has developed into a "lily white," can expect to gain very little by their denunciation of the Oliver Convention as a mob. In the first place the tactics resorted to by the "bolters" to secure delegates in the counties of Middle and West Tennessee where federal officeholders were in the control of the party machinery; the irregular snap conventions held before the state committee had issued the call for such conventions; the sanctioning of the regularity of these conventions by a committee that seemed to be interested only in retaining control of the organization; show that the actions of the boilers are even more reprehensible than that of the Oliver faction. There has not been a fair expression of the republican voters of this state in the selection of delegates, but the opportunity for such and to submit the claims of each faction to the people has been offered by Mr. Oliver. If the "lily-whitees" are so sure that they represent the wishes of a majority of the voters, why not embrace the offer of a direct primary for settling all the questions under dispute? Are these gentlemen afraid that such a primary would show that they do not represent the will of the voters? Are they afraid that the masses of the party will give them a worse drubbing than did Mr. Oliver? Fairness demands a direct primary. S. W. STARKS. In the death last Friday at Charleston of S. W. Starks, Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias and State Librarian of West Virginia, the race has lost one of its most active young men and the Knights of Pythias have sustained an almost irreparable loss. Mr. Starks was, first of all, a business man. Starting in life a poor boy by the force of the energetic character which he possessed, he worked his way up and the Knights of Pythias, THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1908 discovering those magnificent qualities of leadership, which he had shown in West Virginia, made him their Supreme Chancellor. During the eight or more years that Mr. Starks was at the head of that organization, all of his resources as a leader were brought into play to stifle the contentions and break up the factions which had rent the Order, and he saw his efforts crowned with success when last year the two factions of Pythians were united in Maryland. Being a practical business man, Mr. Starks endeavored to inculcate business methods in the direction of the Knights of Pythias. It was his desire to unite the vast army of men belonging to that fraternal body in one band for the building up of the race enterprises. His fight for a Pythian Temple at Chicago he won, and he lived barely long enough to see the companion project to the Temple—a Pythian Sanatarium at Hot Springs—an accomplished fact. Though possessing possibly less than one-eighth of Negro blood, Mr. Starks was as thoroughly identified with the welfare of the race as afy man and could always be found working for its uplift. In the church, he was a consistent worker. The race has lost a strong man and with the Knights of Pythias it joins in mourning his demise. THE FREEDMAN'S BANK. The announcement that the Senate has passed a bill for the distribution of the Freedman's Bank and Trust Company fund, which amounts to upward of $1,000,000, will be welcome news to thousands of Negroes throughout the South, who lost their all in that ill-fated enterprise. This huge sum of money which properly belongs to the depositors and the descendants of depositors, has been tied up in the United States Treasury for a number of years and heretofore all efforts to have it distributed among those who could show proofs that they were depositors in the Freedman's Bank at the time it failed have proved abortive. Now that the bill has passed the Senate it will go to the House of Representatives where, it is to be hoped, it will receive similarly favorable actions. President Roosevelt has a singular faculty of delivering messages or making public official correspondence at times when the said messages or correspondence is liable to dwarf some movement that he thinks will tend to lessen his chance to name the next presidential nominee of the republican party. When Mr. Hughes delivered his set speech defining his position on national questions, he was all but eclipsed by the hot message of January 31, to Congress. Now that there is a convention in session in Philadelphia to solidify the opposition of the race to Mr. Taft unless the soldiers in the Brownsville affair receive justice, Mr. Roosevelt makes public a letter he sent the Interstate Commerce Commission upon the equal accommodation question on the Southern railroads. Was Mr. Roosevelt trying to obscure the work of the Philadelphia conference? Sunday, April 12, is the forty-seventh anniversary of the firing upon Fort Sumpter. The anniversary of the beginning of a struggle the final outcome of which was to see a people, long held in bondage, made free; a war in which oceans of blood were poured out that America might not exist half slave and half-free. Forty-seven years ago that first shot was fired by those who sought to keep our parents in bondage, but now any one looking over this broad southland and seeing it blossoming from the labors of the free Negro, and seeing the wonderful advancement of that freed race must be pessimistic, indeed, not to see the great good that has come from the result of that shot. A CORRECTION. An announcement appeared in the last issue of the Globe that I am a graduate in music from Fisk University, which I do hereby deny and I would be glad to have my friends know that I wish no such honors thrust upon me. While I have taken a course in music at Fisk, I have not finished from there. CARRIE TYREE-ALLEN. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL. The school was opened promptly at 9:30 o'clock by the Assistant Superintendent, Rev. T. J. Lewis. The weather was very inclement, yet a large number of pupils, teachers and officers was present. After song service the classes studied the lesson for thirty minutes, the subject being "Jesus the Good Shepherd." The lesson was ably reviewed by Rev. C. H. Clark, after which it was announced that the school would have their quarterly rally Sunday, April 12. Benediction was pronounced by the pastor. Tuesday night the regular meeting of teachers and officers was held in the teachers' room. The lesson, "The Raising of Lazarus," for Sunday, April 12, was studied under the leadership of Mr. Henry A. Boyd. A most interesting meeting was held. After several recommendations for the welfare of the school and the appointment of a committee on the annual outing, the meeting adjourned, benediction being pronounced by Rev. T. J. Lewis. SILVERS AND WALLACE NOT GUILTY. Silvers and Wallace, the two members of Company No. 4 of the Nashville Fire Department, were acquitted by the Civil Service Commission of the charges preferred against them by Hugh Smith, the produce dealer. The evidence convinced the commission that the men had not been guilty of wrong-doing. Several of the leading citizens of East Nashville testified as to the reliability of the members of the Company, and stated that during the summer vacation they leave the keys of their houses with Captain Richardson.

It is located in West Nashville; nevertheless there were many from sister Lodges present. After a little business meeting the president honored W. W.

SPECIAL THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1908 SPORTING NEWS By Leon. Giants Have Spoken. The Standard Giants Baseball Club will open the season with Fisk, April 18. The schedule for the season has been completed, and it is said the Giants will open with Louisville at Louisville May 2, 3, 4 and 5. On their return they will play some other local team, then they go to Memphis for three games, May 10, 11 and 12. After having the above hard trips, they come home to meet the strong Chicago Unions, May 18, 19 and 20. Louisville comes next, followed by Paducah. St. Louis has wired for dates which the manager has under consideration. This is crumbs for the fans. Let us all go down and get a few. Atlanta, Ga., April 4, 1908.—The baseball season between the colleges of Atlanta is now open. Just how warm the contest will be could not be judged from the game that was played to-day between the Morris Brown College and the Atlanta Baptist College, as there was not much interest in the game from start to finish, although some spectacular plays were made on both sides. The score will show that the Atlanta Baptist College team was outclassed. This was not only true in the hit and base running, but in team work in general. Heretofore it has been an easy matter for the Atlanta Baptist College team to win over any school in this city or in the state, but the loss of three of their best players, who graduated last season, has seriously effected the strength of the team. The batteries of both teams held up splendidly, as will be shown by the score: Morris Brown, 5; Atlanta Baptist College, 1. The next game scheduled that is creating interest will be Atlanta University vs. Atlanta Baptist College With the Sluggers. There is no color line in France. In connection with the other Latin people, the French people do not taboo the Negro. Why would it not be a good idea for Jack Johnson to try Paris? From what I know of Tommy Burns, he will be glad to meet Johnson if the financial inducements are sufficient. The French managers doubtless would put up a hundred or so thousand of francs for a Burns-Johnson go. *** Rudolf Unholz, the boxing Boer, has his nerve with him.

From the best accounts of his fight with Nelson the most he could fairly have claimed was a draw, and a man to beat Gans must be a much better man than the Battling Dane. *** Jim Corbett, the retired ex-heavy-weight champion, will probably be selected to referee the twenty-five round battle between Packey McFarland, the Chicago light weight, and Jimmy Britt, which is to be decided in the open air at Colma, Cal., on Saturday afternoon, April 10. Matchmaker Coffroth has wired Corbett an offer to judge the contest, and it is expected he will accept, as his theatrical engagements will be finished by that time. * * * Jim Coffroth, the fight promoter of California, says that the fighting game out on the coast is in a more flourishing condition since the sport was resumed last July than it has been for many years. In a statement made recently Coffroth says that the prominent contests pulled off out there as follows: Squires and Burns, $29.052; Joseph Thomas and Ketchell, $8,700; Squires and Jack (Twin) Sullivan, $6,000; Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn, $7,200; Jack Sullivan and Al Kaufman, $4,500; Moran and Attell, $14,000; Britt and Nelson, $22.000; Kaufman and Shreck, $4,500; Gans and Britt, $36,000; Moran and Nell, $7,000; Ketchell and Joe Thomas (second fight), $8,000. Note the large purses the brown skins drew. BENEVOLENT SOCIETY NO. 29 INSTALLS OFFICERS.

This is the time when all of the members and friends turn out to do honor to a worthy organization. On Saturday night the hall was packed to its utmost capacity. The installation services were very impressive. Several prominent visitors were present. Among them were Rev. Preston Taylor, Dr. S. S. Caruthers, Messrs. J. J. Lay, Wm. Copeland, Ed Gibson, Rev. Bedford Taylor, Mr. G. W. Hill ex-President, and Miss Ladye B. Stringer. All of these made short talks that made the evening exercises interesting.

King President; Fount Maxwell, Vice President; Olive Taylor, Correspondent Secretary; T. W. Davis, Assistant Secretary; Richard Clark, Chaplain; John Elmore, Chief Marshall, Wm.

Club in honor of Dr. S. L. Edwards, a professor in the Dental Department of Meharry. For the occasion the home of Mr. W. J. Blanton, 1307 Hynes street, was made attractive with cut flowers and ferns. Many interesting games and music of a high-class were enjoyed by those present. In the brilliantly lighted dining-room, after a three-course supper, including tees and punch, had been served, Dr. Edwards in words of eloquence expressed his appreciation for the honor shown him and thanked the club for the pleasures he had been permitted to enjoy. The guest-list numbered forty-two. The out-of-town guests were Misses Hattie Rhodes and Jessie Cwynn, of MeMinnville, Tenn., and Dr. S. A. White, of Florida. IMPORTANT NOTICE.
