THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III. PROF. JOHN HOPE INAUGURATED REV. JOHN E. WHITE DELIVERS THE LEADING ADDRESS—OTHER ABLE ADDRESSES DELIVERED BY REVS. E. R. CARTER AND M. J. WHITE—STUDENTS OF SPELMAN AND A. B. C. FURNISH MUSIC — PROF. HOPE ONLY NEGRO PRESIDENT IN H. M. S. SCHOOLS. Atlanta, Ga., May 12.—The inaugural services of the President of Atlanta Baptist College took place Tuesday morning between 10 a. m. and 12 m. Many distinguished men were present to participate in the exercises. According to program, Hon. B. F. Abbott, chairman of the trustee board of the college, presided. At the opening of the services it was noticed that the music was exceedingly well rendered. The prayer offered lent much to the occasion. The first address was made by Rev. John E. White, D. D., pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga. Dr. White is a man known for his outspoken opinion that has always been in the bounds of Christian sentiment. He is a man that stands high in this city. His address was the leading one of the day, made doubly so from the fact that his connection in this city puts him among the foremost divines and pulpit orators. The address of Rev. E. R. Carter, D. D., pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, as well as that of Rev. M. J. White, D. D., Editor of The Georgia Baptist, served to unite a common interest along educational lines in the state of Georgia. The former is a pastor of national reputation. The latter an editor of nearly a half century's experience The Georgia Baptist is one of the largest religious papers in the race. After the addresses the program was punctuated with music furnished by students from both the Baptist College and Spelman Seminary. The address of Rev. R. G. Johnson, D. D., President of the State Baptist Convention, who resides in Macon, Ga., was ably delivered. His admonitions to the denomination and the race for the stronger support of the school were very timely. The address of Rev. C. L. White, President of Colby College, Waterville, Me., met every expectation. As President of a noted college, he is in a position to instruct and advise those just entering the work. Close attention was given his every utterance. The address of Rev. Geo. Sale, D. D., Superintendent of the Schools of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, with headquarters in Atlanta, was full, concise and instructive. He paid many compliments to Mr. Hope, not only as a scholar, but as a man of executive ability. Dr. Sale was promoted from the President of Atlanta Baptist College to his present position and was succeeded by Prof. Hope The address of the new President of the school smacked of good judgment or a determination to build greater than any of his predecessors. This fact has been demonstrated during the past two years he has been serving as President of the school, for he has increased the attendance over twenty-five per cent. He has gathered around him a faculty of the very best professors to be had in this Southland. They come from the best universities in the United States. Under his direction the educational work has taken on an impetus hitherto unknown in this great state. Nothing short of success was the prediction of the large and distinguished audience that witnessed these services, which were made all the more imposing by the cooperation of every school in the city. There were students and teachers from Spelman Seminary, the largest female college in the United States for Negroes; representatives from Morris Brown College, Atlanta University, Clark University, with the city schools to augment the size of the audience. The inauguration of President Hope The inauguration of President Hope marks a new epoch in the Home Miss NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1908. sion Society schools, as he is the first Negro to occupy the exalted position as President of one of the big Home Mission Society schools in this Southland. He graduated with honor from Brown University, Providence, R. I., a few years ago, and last year his Alma Mater conferred upon him the degree of A. M. The inauguration of Prof. Hope as President of the school comes after what might be termed a probationary period as President for nearly two years. That he has made good is demonstrated by the fact that he received and is given the presidency in reality. Hence another door of hope stands ajar for the Negro in the educational world. There are but two colleges now of any note in the city that have white presidents, viz.: At lanta University and Spelman Semi nary. SHUTTLEWORTH TO FACE BOARD AGAIN Charges have been preferred with the Civil Service Commission by Chief of Police Curran, against Patrolman Shuttleworth for drunkenness and cowardice. It is alleged that the officer violated the rules by getting drunk, and that he displayed cowardice in hiding under a house. In answering t he charges the officer claims that while on his way home after he had been relieved from duty, he was attacked by several Negroes, who relieved him of his revolver and mace. The men, he claims, after handling him so roughly as to dislocate his shoulder, followed him with the intention of doing further bodily harm. To escape them he hid under a house where he remained for some time. Leaving the place, he went home where he took a drink or two of whiskey to relieve his great suffering. Mr. Shuttleworth was recently tried by the Civil Service Commission on the charge preferred by Dr. A. C. Roob, who was so roughly handled by an officer on Christmas Eve as to neto a hospital. The trial will come up before the Commission to-day. DR. B. S. STOUT. Among the prominent visitors in the city this week was Rev. R. S. Stout, D. D., of Little Rock, Ark. Dr. Stout is the General-Secretary of the Church Extension Board of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, and has been prominently mentioned on several occasions for the bishopric. Just when such honors will be conferred depends upon the vacancies. Dr. Stout's business here took him among some of his old acquaintances and his stay was extremely pleasant. He was entertained by some of the clergy and business men of this city. His ability is not questioned. He is a genius as well as an eminent divine. For a long time he was a law practitioner of the firm of Murchison & Stout, Palestine, Texas. IN HONOR OF MISS J. R. PITT. Mrs. T. L. McClanaham, of 1105 Stevens street, entertained a few friends Thursday at six o'clock dinner in honor of Misses Jessie R. Pitt, who has been teaching at Strowers. The rooms were decorated with cut flowers. Music was rendered throughout the evening. A solo was sung by Mr. J. M. Lyte, after which the guests were invited into the dining-room, which was decorated in green and white. An excellent menu of six courses was served. Those present were Misses J. R. Pitt, Esther O. Turner, Mesdames Wayed, J. M. Lyte, and Mr. Frank Turner. Mrs. McClanaham was assisted in receiving by her mother, Mrs. Mollie Brown. REV. MR. STEWART LEAVES THE CITY. Rev. G. E. Stewart left the city Tuesday morning for Birmingham, Ala. It will be remembered that Rev. Mr. Stewart is a minister from Kingston, Jamaica, British West Indies, who has been in this city in the interest of the church destroyed on the island in January, 1907. His mass meetings are reported not to have been a success, as the plans outlined at the Baptist Ministers' Conference, where the churches were to co-operate, were not carried out. There were five different mass meetings appointed, but at none of these five places was there a mass meeting proper. Still he succeeded in getting before some fairly good audiences, made up mostly of the congregations of the churches where he spoke. From Birmingham he expects to go to Montgomery, Mobile and New Orleans. At the last named-place he embarks for his home on the Island of Jamaica. Messrs. Earl and Pernell Deirf students of Fisk, left the city last week for their home at Alexandria, La. Enroute they stopped a day or so in Mobile to visit friends. --- MEMBERS OF MUSERGIA CLUB PROMOTERS OF AFFAIR. THREE CONCERTS GIVEN—LARGE AUDIENCES WITNESS EACH—SINGERS AND PERFORMERS AT THEIR BEST — SELECTIONS FROM "OUT OF THE DEPTHS" SUNG — ENTERTAINMENTS SCORED A BIG SUCCESS—MRS. C. O. HADLEY CAPTIVATES LOUISVILLE. Louisville, Ky., May 11.—On May 7, 8 and 9, the Musergia Club, under the direction of Mr. G. M. McClellan, held its second annual May Musical Festival. The organization was assisted by Mr. Felix Weir, of Washington, D. C., and the following singers from Fisk University: Prof. and Mrs. J. W. Work, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Myers, Mrs. C. O. Hadley, Misses Ganaway, Jones, Chestnut, Degraffenried, Messrs. F. J. Work, Roland Hayes, Chas. Wesley, Blaze Duke, Swan Kendrick, J. E. Mitchem, J. C. Olden and N. W. Ryder. Thursday evening Bruck's "Arminius" was given; soloists, Mr. David Barnett, Mr. Hayes and Mrs. Work. Mr. Tibbs, pianist. The production, though very weighty, was quite a big success, and the solo work was of the first-class order. In the second part of the concert, Mr. Weir, the violinist from Washington played Coleridge-Taylor's "Gypsy" movements, and "Adagio," by Ries. This young man is a fine performer, excelling especially in the soulfulness of his work. The male chorus from Fisk sang several selections to the great satisfaction of the audience. Mesdames Work and Hadley sang a duet, by Gounod, "Sing, Slumber, Smile," and received thunderous applause. Mr. Myers sang "Creole Lover's Song," by Buck. He was at his best, and that means much, for he has one of the most splendid and usable tenor voices ever heard in Louisville. The audience demanded an encore. He also made a great hit when he led the Negro Folk song, "Couldn't hear nobody pray." He can lead that song better than anybody else in the world, and the continuous applause testified to the audience's appreciation. Hallelujah Chorus (Messiah) closed the evening's entertainment. Friday evening, the entertainment consisted of solo and part singing, for the most part, and an adbridgement of the cantata, "Out of the Depths." Among the number were "The Pilgrim Chorus," by Fisk Male Choir; "Swan Song" (Wagner), by Mr. Hayls; "L'abelille" (Schubert), by Mr. Weir; quartette, "Lullaby" (Work) by Messrs. J. A. Myers, J. W. Work, Charles Wesley and N. W. Ryder; Sextette from "Lucia" (Danizet), by Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Work, Mrs. Barnett, F. J. Work, S. M. Reudrick, N. W. Ryder; two soles "Elegile," by Massenet, and "Serenade" by Neidluizer; song, by M. Hayes. This young man has a fine voice and enters into his work with an interest and enthusiasm delightful to perceive. He is instinctively musical and sang himself into favor with the audience. The sextette from "Lucia," was recalled by great applause. Although it was ten o'clock when the cantata was begun the audience did not grow restless and remained through to the end, and kept up increasing interest. The work of the cantata was superb. Mr. F. J. Work at the piano was passing fine, and recognition was given his performances. Mrs. Work in "You May Bury Me in the East," was wonderful. Mrs. Hadley in her solo parts acquitted herself with such ability that she was a favorite with the audience. She has probably the best adapted "jubilee" voice (soprano) in the city of her home, Nashville, which means about the best before the public to-day. She also has seen a knowledge of this Negro music, gained from experience and study, that she can acceptably fill any place in the whole realm of it. That is why she was asked to take the leading soprano role in this new work. Saturday night the audience was mainly white, and practically the program of Friday night was repeated. The same successes were scored as before, and even a greater one for the Cantata. About every number was encored, showing a superlative appreciation of this fine work. This Festival was held in Liederranz Hall, the leading music auditorium in the city of Louisville, and Mr. McClellan and his Musergia Club scored a big success. APPOINTED TO POSITION IN RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE. The announcement was made this week that Mr. William D. Boger, one of the popular young men of the city, in church, social and lodge affairs, has been appointed to a position in the Railway Mail Service. Mr. Boger has been informed of his appointment and has resigned his position as substitute carrier in the local post-office. Mr. Boger was appointed as a substitute letter carrier in the Nashville post-office about one year ago, but when the time arrived for the weighing in of mail upon the railroads, was upon his request appointed for this work by Superintendent Welch, of the Chattanooga Division. For the past three months he has been employed between this city and Montgomery, Ala., and it is thought that so satisfactory was his work that it was from this cause that he received his appointment in the Railway Mail Service. While it has not been definitely decided as to where he will be located, it is more than probable that at first Mr. Boger's headquarters will be in St. Louis, Mo., under which division he was appointed. He will not take up the work until the time allotted for the weighing in of mail has expired, which will be in June. SHOT BY POLICEMEN. Justin Walters, who was shot by Patrolman McGovern last Monday night, is at the City Hospital. In answer to an inquiry by a representative of the Globe as to the condition of the unfortunate man it was stated by the physician in charge of the case that Walters rested as easy as could be expected on Wednesday night, but there is no hope for his recovery. The bullet from McGovern's revolver penetrated the left lung and severed the spinal cord. The policeman declares that the wounded man resisted arrest. Joseph Snell, who was shot by Policeman Word a short time ago while trying to make his escape from the officer, is doing well, so those in charge of his case at the Hospital say, and beyond a doubt will recover. W. T. WRIGHT RETURNS. Mr. W. T. Wright, who has charge of all the records and filing of the L. & N. Railway, and who has held this responsible position for quite a number of years, has returned to the city after a stay of more than a week in Birmingham, Ala. His stay in that city was in connection with his work. He was sent down as a special clerk to straighten out and file the records at the Birmingham office, dating back from 1904 and 1905 up to January, 1908. His position in this city was filled by Mr. Wm. Washington during his absence. Mr. Wright is an active young man, highly esteemed by his friends and acquaintances in this city, as well as in his home state. He is worthy of any promotion that may be coming to him from the L. & N. Railroad. He stands high with the officials and has proved capable and worthy all along REV. J. W. McKINNEY, D. D. One of the Texas presiding elders of the C. M. E. Church spent two days in Nashville this week. It was Rev J. W. McKinney, who has been for some years a presiding elder of the Ft. Worth District of the C. M. E. Church, and for the past twelve years Grand Master of the Masons of the great state of Texas. Dr. McKinney is one of the best known men in the "Lone Star State." His experience in religious as well as lodge circles gives him this distinction. He came to Nashville from Jackson, Tenn., where he had been attending a board meeting of the C. M. E. Church. He is the member from Texas. His trip over to Nashville was for the purpose of seeing his daughter, Miss Fay McKinney, who is a student at Fisk University. Dr. McKinney was entertained by Bishop and Mrs. C. H. Phillips. The bishop took him to make several calls. He also visited the Baptist Publishing House, where he met his old Tex as friend. Dr. R. H.

GORE. On last Friday evening there was an honorary public reception tendered Mr. Geo. W. Gore, who is a member of the class of 1908 of the Theological Department of Walden University. The entertainment was given in the Y. M. C. A. hall, 980 Cedar street, near Tenth avenue, North. While it was practically, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.'s of this city, it was in every way a public manifestation of the work done in this city by the honorree along religious lines, as well as to attest the deep interest in the young minister on the eve of his departure. Mr. Gore has been for seven years President of the City Y. M. C. A. President of College Y. M. C. A., Walden University, 1907, 1908. Instructor Railroad noonday Bible class. Chairman Railroad Y. M.

Mr. Gore has done a great work in our city among men, and has met with great success in the College and Railroad Y. M. C. A. work in Nashville. The following citizens made short addresses: Rev. S. E. Griggs, A. M., B. D.; E. W. S. Hammond, A. B., D. D.; Hon. J. C. Napier, LL. D.; Rev. Preston Taylor, J. M. Miller, Secretary R. R. Y. M. C. A.; W. H. Hollins, Secretary City Y. M. C. A.; John P.

It is true of races, as of nations or individuals, that the more highly developed its music, just in proportion its culture, broadness of views and moral standards are alike great. The Nashville public has not yet forgotten the three excellent renditions of the Cantata, "From Out the Depths," by the Glee Club, assisted by members of the Mozart Society and Alumni. Fisk extends at all times a hearty and sincere welcome to the Nashville public, so that, by getting in touch with each other, a better understanding and greater feelings of brotherly love might be both established and maintained. It is the desire of all concerned that Fisk maintain such a position that public favor will at no time be denied. The management of the Glee Club is particularly desirous to establish this most enviable desideratum, and to the establishment of such an end equal favor will be given to all, regardless of any consideration. The seats in the Memorial Chapel are all reserved and numbered and every one is entitled to that seat his or her ticket calls for. The Glee Club extends a most hearty invitation to the public to come and hear the excellent music that will be rendered and to enjoy the evening of the 15th inst. with us. Come out and near prof. J.

BOSSES MUST GO. The republicans carried Davidson County in the election of 1896. This result can be directly attributed to two causes. First, the republicans locally were out of power and there had been no interference in local affairs by federal office holders. Second, the democrats were divided. Tennessee, like Davidson County, in 1896 was united. All over the state, the federal offices of importance were held by democrats. The party was united in its efforts to capture the state and reform the irregularities that were supposed to be going on. All elements of the party were recognized. No snap County Conventions were held. Wherever contests in the party arose they were decided with justice and importiality. The watchword was: "Tennessee for Republicans." This energetic and united effort of the united party brought what many persons believe, had their been a fair count, a republican victory. Tennessee, we believe, with a fair election and fair count is a republican state. Her people believe in republican principles and are willing to vote for those principles when the party presents a united front with no bickerings and factionalisms in the rear guard on account of irregularities in local conventions. The democrats of Tennessee in all likelihood, will be divided this year no matter what the outcome of the fight between the Patterson and Carmack factions. But, can the republicans win? Has not the chicanery by which is was possible for a committee to name the delegates to county and congressional conventions irrespective of the wishes of the voters of the party, alienated a sufficient number of the voters of the party to make success almost next to the impossible if their acts are upheld? Has not the "I won't hear you for one minute" sentiment made it highly improbable that many of the rank and file will stay at home when it comes to election times? The republicans of this state ought to get together but they never will do so, so long as federal office-holders by their pernicious activities control conventions. They never will win elections so long as County Committees by trickery and for the advantage of the bosses name the members of County Conventions. There is need for a change and the Convention that meets to-day is the precursor of a shake-up in the boss ridden party of this state. The "best citizens" of Pulaski, in Giles County, have shown their con- tempt for the law of the land, the courts of the state and all constituted authority by taking from the jail and hanging in broad daylight an 18 year old boy. The charge alleged against the boy was attempted assault and general sauciness. It does not seem to be very clear from the accounts published in local papers as to what race the victim of mob violence really belonged. He was classed a Negro but judging from the frequent intermixing of the blood of white and blacks in his immediate forbears it is a question as to which race he really belonged. But, be that as it may, it does not lessen the stigma that is to be placed upon the fair county seat of Giles. It is really immaterial whether the victim was of the black or white race. The one important thing is shall the law be supreme? There was little or no excuse for the Pulaski mob. Court was in session and as the "best citizens" marched from the jail, they passed by the building in which the case was under consideration. The "best citizens" held in contempt the laws which their own race had made, they set at naught the officers whom they themselves had elected to enforce that law; they showed by their actions that they put no faith in the juries composed exclusively of their own race and set an example in law defiance to their "imitative" brother that some day may prove a boomerang. If the white man wants to teach the Negro to be law abiding he himself must be law abiding. If he does not respect the laws of which he is the maker and is the sole arbiter in its enforcement, how can he expect others to pay obeisence to that law? There are laws to punish men guilty of such crimes as that of which this question mark boy was accused. If the punishment does not fit the crime then change the punishment so that it will and let the law take its course. The lynching was a blot upon the hitherto fair name of Pulaski. The good citizens of that town owe it to themselves that these mid-day, unmasked murderers should have a tangible exhibition of the efficacy of those laws which they hold in such high contempt. RUNNING AMUCK. The Brownsville affair still holds the attention of the United States Senate. Senator Foraker expresses the opinion that there will be no adjournment until a bill for the reinstatement of the soldiers has been acted upon. Mr. Roosevelt, who seems to be at white heat, whenever Mr. Foraker's bill is mentioned, intimates in very plain language that if the bill offered by the Senator from Ohio is passed, he will veto it, and if it is passed over his veto he will ignore it. Mr. Roosevelt seems to be particularly wrought up because attention has been called to the fact that he is incompetent to act as a judge of the innocence of the soldiers as provided in the Warner Bill. His impetuosity is getting the better of his judgment, as it did in the original order of dismissal. In the original order he upset the usual rule of American jurisprudence, and now he is trying to force through the Senate a bill that will place him as judge over the soldiers when he has repeatedly stated that he believes all of them to be guilty—if not of the crime of shooting up the town then of a "conspiracy of silence" to protect those who were guilty. Mr. Roosevelt, in explaining why he considers the Foraker Bill obnoxious, likens himself to King Edward of England; but to us when he attempts to force the men he has already adjudged guilty to prove their innocence to his satisfaction, he seems like a judge of some of the "Kangaroo" Courts of the South. Roosevelt is running amuck. He needs his most conservative adviser, Mr. Taft, to head him off before he runs into a stone wall. Secretary Taft is scheduled to address the Tennessee Bar Association in this city this month. The wonder is, will Mr. Taft, addressing a non-political association, deliver his views on the all important race question? We almost wish he would. He has so many lily-white supporters in this neck of the woods that it would do us good to hear d, the instituted call and 18 year against it and my clear on local victim of died. He ing from the blood immediate which be that some of these lily-white will give an some of them chime: "Them's my sentiments." But we fear we are over-reaching ourselves in intimating that some of these lily-white will give an intimation of their views before the meeting of the National Republican Executive Committee. Since it is thought that the lily-white will have a hard row to hoe at Chicago, these gentlemen might cover their exultation at anything Mr. Taft may say as to the disfranchisement of the Negro being a step in the right direction, by their seeming love for the brother in black at this particular time. We have no sympathy with those who would dub Dr. Booker Washington a scoundrel because it is thought he favors Mr. Taft for President. Mr. Washington has as much right to his preferences as has any one else. He may be in the wrong according to our opinion, but he certainly must be granted that what each of those denouncing him claim for themselves—the right to have and express his convictions. There is no doubt that if he holds such convictions he is out of sympathy with the race, but the race itself should and doubtless will refuse to follow in the Taft band wagon if he attempts to lead. Because one does not agree with another is no reason why the common amenities of decency should be forgotten. We are awaiting with deep interest the final outcome of the charges preferred against Policeman Shuttleworth by Chief Curran on the grounds of drunkenness and cowardice. It will be remembered that Officer Shuttleworth is the same man who was charged with unmercifully beating Dr. A. C. Robb, and further that an effort was made by the colored people to have him discharged several years ago on account of the killing of a youth in South Nashville. He was exonerated of the first two charges. Will he be excused for claiming that he hid under a house from Negroes? The lily-white conventions have shown a strange fondness for Negro delegates to the National Republican Convention since the report has been circulated that no lily-white delegates will be seated. They seem to think that one Negro delegate will be the ounce of leaven that will save the cake. With all the general conferences of religious bodies, the meetings of supreme councils of secret organizations, the political conventions of all the national parties, there ought be no wonder that there is a stagnation of business. The wonder is that things are no worse. It takes a political campaign to bring out some of the things that the white newspapers in their clanishness cover up. Just to think, too, some of these self-same newspapers that are now welching, accuse the Negroes of banding together to cover up wrong-doing! Heflin has been indicted by the grand jury of the District of Columbia. When he gets through with the courts of Washington, doubtless his ardor for spectacular stunts will be cooled somewhat. The Globe acknowledges receipt of a brochure giving a slight history of the accomplishments of the Mechanics Bank of Richmond, Va. The Davidson County republican convention will meet to-day.

Hendricks and Miss Estella Childress left Saturday afternoon for their home in Murfreesboro, after spending a week with Miss Mary F. James, of 643 1-2 Fogg street Miss Allie M. Bates left Wednesday for her home at McMinnville, where she will spend a week with friends. The entertainment at the Y. M. C. A. headquarters to-night bids fair to be a success. An excellent program will be rendered. The proceeds will be for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. Baseball Club. The report in last week's Globe which said that the contract for the erection of the Library Building at Fisk University had been let to Geo. McKissack & Co. was an error. Mr. Moses McKissack, the architect, says the contract has not been let. NEW BUILDING. Work was begun Tuesday morning on another building down on the premises of the Baptist Publishing Board, corner Market and Locust streets. This building will be at 517 and 519 Second avenue, North (Market street). A reporter learns that the contract is let for a one-story brick building, forty feet high, one hundred seventy feet in length, the foundation of which has been down for some time. On account of scarcity of money and the enormous amount of machinery already purchased, Secretary Boyd has not been able before to begin work. The original plans are for a four-story building, but for the present one story is all that will be put up. This will be covered with a fire-proof roof and the machinery which arrived last week will be installed and immediately put in operation. Things looked busy to the Globe man as he passed and saw sand, lime and lumber on the grounds, with the contractor and force of men clearing away the debris, preparatory to beginning work on the walls. The contract was awarded to W. L. Dimery, a prominent brick contractor of this city, and he has already agreed to have the building up within the next two weeks. The work will be pushed rapidly, as the building is needed. With the completion of this additional structure the plant of the Baptist Publishing Board will occupy seven buildings, covering nearly one block. The wonderful growth of the institution seems to be one of the Baptist's greatest achievements. BETHEL BUSINESS COLLEGE JACKSONVILLE, FLA.

TENNESSEE COLORED FAIR ASSOCIATION MEETS. The Tennessee Colored Fair Association held its regular monthly meeting in the directors room of the One-Cent Savings Bank Tuesday night. A fair sized representation of the membership was present. President Napier presided. Two vacancies on the Executive Committee were filled by the election of Mr. George O. Boyd, Jr., and Dr. E. B. Jefferson. The position of Chairman of the Executive Committee being vacant because of the election of that officer to another position, the association elected Dr. P. R. Burrus by acclamation. Dr. Burrus assuming the chair made a short talk in which he thanked the association for the honor and outlined his policy as the head of the committee. Rev. Preston Taylor announced that preparations had been begun at Greenwood Park for the Fair and invited the association and its friends to come to the park and lay the cornerstone of the building that is to be erected. The invitation was accepted and the corner stone, it was stated, would be laid Thursday. Preston Taylor, Dr. P. R. Burrus and J. C. Napier were named as an advisory committee to the general manager. DONELSON NOTES. The announcement that there would be an annual sermon at this place by the Sons of Simon and daughters of Cyrene, of the W. P. L. A. A. on May 31, is misleading to a certain extent. It is not an annual sermon, but a grand rally, which will be in charge of Rev. G. K. Wilson, pastor of Summer Street Baptist Church, assisted by Rev. J. Harding, pastor of Bryant Town Church. The object of this rally is to raise money to be appropriated towards building a W. P. L. A. A. Hall on the ground recently purchased by the two local organizations. There will be a Mayflower entertainment given at the Benevolent Hall Saturday night by the Cyrene Daughters. The house will be beautifully decorated and ices of all kinds will be served. The feature of the entertainment will be a picture of a horse drawn on canvas with one ear off. All persons after first being blindfolded are requested to pin the missing ear on in the proper place. Any one succeeding in one trial will receive a prize. The entertainment will be conducted by Mrs. Nannie Moss and Mrs. Josephine Hoggatt. Hopewells school closed April 24, with exercises on the 27th. H. G. Allen, principal of the school, had taken a deal of pains in preparing his pupils for this occasion. Each child's piece was well spoken and received loud applause and showers of bouquets. The house was beautifully decorated with green and roses. An address was delivered by Miss Georgie Jolly, principal of Bryant Town school, which was excellent. Addresses were also delivered by Mr. P. Ewing and T. Bryant. The whole affair was grand, and we hope to have Prof. Allen as teacher here again next session. THE BLIND SCHOOL CLOSING Within a few days the commencement work of the colored department of the Tennessee School for the Blind will begin. The years of active work of the principal of this very creditable institution endear the school and its principal to the hearts of all the Nashville people. The faculty that has been assisting at the institution during this present school year is all busy with the rehearsals, examination papers and in making final preparations for the closing day. The commencement proper begins Friday, May 29, with a musical in the chapel at 7:30 p. m. This is followed on Sunday, May 31, about three o'clock, by a sermon. On Monday, June 1, there will be a concert at 7:30 p. m. On Tuesday, June 2, will be the graduating exercises proper. This will begin at 3 p. m. The graduating address will be delivered by Rev. Imes, pastor of Howard Congregational Church. The last exercises for the term will occur Wednesday, June 3, at 7:30 p. m. in the nature of a concert. Efforts are being made by the principal to secure the services of some of Nashville's entertaining speakers so that this program will be materially added to. ```markdown ``` J. S.

BRILLIANT AFFAIR: Class No. 16 of Mount Olive Sunday School Honors Its Teacher. Honors for a duty conscientiously and well performed, without hope of reward in mundane affairs frequently come as a surprise but seldom has the recipient of such seemed so completely bewildered for the nonce by such a demonstration as was the Rev. Henry Allen Boyd when he was the guest of honor last Thursday evening at a surprise party given by Class No. 16 of the Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday School. The Rev. Mr. Boyd, following his usual custom of meeting with his class during the week for the discussion of the Sunday-school lesson, accepted the invitation to meet his class at the residence of Mr. E. W. Bvrdsong, on First avenue, South, last Thursday evening. His surprise can be imagined when upon entering the parors he found a gathering of friends. But the first mystification gave way to what was indeed a great surprise when Miss Sarah Jones in choice language stated the object of the gathering. Miss Jones, on behalf of Class No. 16, told of the great esteem with which Mr. Boyd was regarded by the class, how each individual member had been drawn closer to the Sunday-school work and how for a long time it had been the earnest desire of the members to give some tangible demonstration of their interest in and love for their class leader. She recounted the great benefits that the class had derived from the energetic efforts of Mr. Boyd, how the class had become the leading one of the school, and when she closed her remarks, was apprised of the fact that she represented the sentiment of those present by the generous applause which followed. The Rev. Mr. Boyd feelingly responded expressing his great surprise. In tendering his thanks for the honor shown he spoke of the work of the Sunday school and how near it was to his heart. He averred that it was his desire to make the Sunday school with which he was connected the leading one of the city and with the continued help and co-operation of those who had so nobly assisted him in the past to still further widen the usefulness of the class with which he is associated. He extended a cordial welcome to all those who were not members of other schools to join Class No. 16 of Mount Olive Sunday school and urged all others present to at least visit his class. During the first part of the evening various games were played and incidentally music was furnished by Misses Nellie King and Idella Walker. The dining-room was very tastefully decorated with cut flowers and spillax the dining-table being especially resplendent with its immaculate linen, handsome silverware, cut glass and beautiful cut flowers. Tastefully arranged place cards in white and red marked the position of each guest, while at the place of the distinguished guest of the evening two large pink peonies were laid. The following menu was served: Chicken Croquettes on Lettuce Leaves Beaten Biscuits. English Peas in Ornamented Receptacles. East India Pickles. Chocolate. Black Coffee. Those present were Misses Willie Hurt, Pearl Brooks, Minnie Mayberry, Mary L. Hinton, Ladye B. Stringer, Alma L. Stevens, Nellie E. King, Georgiana Hill, Willie Davls, Sarah A. E. Jones, Idella Walker,桑damesdas Chas. H. Thorne, Geo. Binkley, L. Stevens, Katie Sloan, Patton, Messrs. Henry A. Boyd, J. O. Battle, L. S. Gray, Geo Binkley, J. Hatton, Thrallkill, Wymon Brady, Andrew Allison, Chas. H. Thorne, G. W. Gore and E. W. Byrd-song. JACKSON TEMPLE NOTES. Sunday-school was largely attended; the lesson was recited and reviewed with much interest. Among the visitors were Mr. McBrume and several young ladies from Fisk University. Rev. J. W. McKinney, of Texas, preached a very effective sermon at 11 a.m. Bishop C. H. Phillips was present and spoke in a sympathetic manner of the passing out of Rev. J. Wm. Luckett, former pastor of the church. Rev. E. F. - B. Amos, the pastor, preached at night. After the sermon further sympathy for the departure of Rev. Luckett was expressed by the members and friends of Jackson Temple, and backed up by a liberal collection. MARRIAGES. William O. Shelton and Julia Alvine Johnson. Anderson Williams and Ellen Venable.

"GOD'S PROMISE TO HIS PEOPLE." There is much literary talent to be found in and about the city of Nashville. In fact, a large number of the race's most learned men look with pride upon the training they have received in this city. The latest addition to the literary world is Rev. Wm. Chester Current, who brings out a neat, interesting, well-written and well-arranged book, known as "God's Promise to His People" Mr. Current is one of the local ministers of this city. He writes this book for the benefit of his colaborers as well as for the book-loving people. Rev. Mr. "current is known as "Homeless and Blind Billy." The first chapter in the book shows that he was born in Nashville, Tenn., farce 1875, and that his parents died when he was very young. He entered the Tennessee School for the Blind when he was but seven years old, hence the foundation of his education was begun in this city. He deals with his life and his work in a very touching manner. The book is being offered to the public at twenty-five cents per copy by writing to tr calling on Rev. Wm. Chester Current, at Burrus' Drug Store, 899 Cedar street. * GRAND SOCIAL Prof. Dock Liner, who is one of the most popular dancing masters in the city, if not the most popular, is making a great reputation for his school, which is located in the Odd Fellows Hall.

On Monday night, May 18, Prof. Liner will give a grand social, and as he will devote his personal attention to directing the affair, and as Lindsay's Orchestra is to furnish the music, a pleasant time is assured all who attend. The admission will be the small sum of 15 cents. * THE ROYAL POOL AND BILLIARDS THE ROYAL POOL AND BILLIARDS Cigars and Tobacco. Shoe Shining Parlor.

Paris is the one town on earth where the game is just as good for a Negro as for a white man, and perhaps a little better. If the Frenchmen are already impressed with McVey, what will they think when they see Johnson and Langford in action? Both of these scrappers outclass McVey by about three-quarters of a mile. And what a field for faking Paris will be when McVey, Johnson and Langford begin challenging each other, and meeting in the ring. The first challenge will bring about great excitement and the first fight will fill the biggest club in Paris. All three are adepts at the game of faking, and over in Paris they know so little about the sport that Johnson, McVey and Langford will have no trouble in getting away with it, and keeping the excitement up. * * * Y. M. C. A. BASEBALL CLUB. The members of the Y. M. C. A. met in their hall recently for the permanent organization of a baseball club.

San Francisco, May 14.—It took Joe Gans several rounds to solve Boer Unholz' defense to-night, but once Joe began to find openings for his upper-cuts the Boer began to fade away. In the early stages of the fight the Boer appeared to be hurting Gans with body blows. It was Rudie's custom to give towards Gans and tear away at the stomach with left. He also used overhand lefts and rights occasionally, but these blows did not bother the champion. The crowd cheered Unholz vociferously and some of the ringsiders shook their heads and remarked that things looked bad for Gans. Joe's lips were parted and he was sober faced, too, but as he always has a serious expression when fighting it was hard to tell just how Unholz' onslaught was affecting him. Cans brought his man down with a uppercut in the fourth round, but as soon as Unholz heard the timekeeper counting he laughed and jumped to his feet. He busied himself immediately and Joe was kept busy warding off the left punches for the body that followed every rush that Unholz made. Somehow the Boer did not look so confident in the fifth round. Joe had him gauged now and kept out of range whenever Unholz tore in. Joe had also devised a kind of corkscrew uppercut and he jammed his right glove through the Boer's guard over and over again. The Boer threw himself to the floor while swinging at Gans and gave further evidence of wild fighting by putting in a foul body punch. Joe wore the same old bathrobe and walked up and down each side of the ring with a serious expression on his face. After a short delay Boer Unholz put in an appearance. His seconds were Joe Thomas, Teddy Wolff, Tom Eyley, Joe O'Leary and Joe Stilch. In introducing the men Jordan called Unholz the "Fighting Boer of Africa." Gans was described as the great and only lightweight champion of the world. Gans and Unholz shook hands and it was noticed that the Boer was many inches shorter than his opponent. Challenges to the winner from Cyclone Thompson and Johnny Frayne were announced. Then Battling Nelson hopped upon the platform and challenged Joe Gans for forty-five rounds to a finish. During a full in the proceedings a sport at the ringside offered to bet $400 to $100 that Gans would defeat Unholz. With the introduction of Jack Welsh as referee, the presentations came to an end. At the end of the eleventh round Referee Welsh motioned Gans to his corner and gave him the decision over the game but defeated Boer.

"Jim Crow" system as a fixed condition of travel, or whether they shall light the unjust law and the petty practice through all the courts, until the United States Supreme Court has squarely and fully decided the question. There is a widespread belief that the law is settled; that Negro people can be compelled to ride in "Jim Crow" cars, provided the accommodations are equal and that this proscription applies to all passengers whether they be the Inter-State or Intra-State. This belief arises from two apparent reasons: First—Because the separate car laws of the Southern State require it; and, Second—That the railroad companies can independently of any law, establish and enforce a rule of separation. This belief springs, too, from another erroneous opinion, namely: That the Supreme Court of the United States had decided the second proposition and upheld the first. The fact is that this Court has done nothing of the kind, but decided that separate car laws do not apply to inter-state passengers. The question of the validity of statutes that require passengers to ride according to their color or race under penalties in separate coaches, provided they be equal in accommodation has never been directly presented to or decided by the Supreme Court of the United States. We are pleased to announce that there is now pending in the United States Circuit Court, at St. Paul, Minn., a case where all these questions can be and are squarely put in issue, and will be fought out: Reed is Pullman Company. Statement of the Case. Mr. Reed had a ticket for lower berth No. 4, from Memphis, Penn., to Hot Springs, Ark. After he had taken her seat in her section the Pullman conductor forciblyected her. Suit was brought against the Pullman company to recover damages. The company pleads in justification and defence the separate coach law of Tennessee; also that it had established and had in force and effect a rule requiring the separation of colored and white passengers; and that the common law rule, requiring equal accommodations, had been abolished by the laws of the State of Tennessee. The case will be brought for trial at the coming June term of the court and is in charge of the Legal Department of the Niagara Movement. Here, then, is an opportunity for us to have finally determined the deated question, to-wit: Can the Pullman Company exclude colored passengers from their sleeping, parlor and dining cars? We are confident of a victory and we feel that the sum of One Thousand dollars should be immediately contributed for the expense of this trial—we shall need it to bring our witnesses from Memphis, Tenn. The case must not fail for want of money. We therefore earnestly appeal to all subscribe and pay in the needed amount now. Contributions may be sent directly to the Secretary of the department, to Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, 1924 U. street, N. W., Washington, D. C., and Rev. J. M. Waldron, Treasurer. FREDERICK L.
