THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III. PEARL HIGH SCHOOL Annual Commencement At Ryman Auditorium. PRESIDENT OF BOARD OF EDUCATION AND PROF. SMITH MAKE ADDRESSES. IMMENSE THRONG OF PEOPLE WITNESS EXCELLENT PRO- GRAM—MR. MANSON AND MISS HODGKINS ACQUIT THEM- SELVES WITH HONOR—REN- DITION OF TWENTY-THIRD PSALM BY HIGH SCHOOL A PLEASING FEATURE—SOLOISTS CAPTIVATE AUDIENCE—BAN- QUET TENDERED GRADUATES BY ALUMNI AT ODD FELLOWS AUDITORIUM. Before an audience which taxed the seating capacity of the Ryman Auditorium to the utmost, the members of the class of 1908, Pearl High School, received their diplomas last (Thursday) night. Not only was every seat taken but in some portions of the gallery and on the main floor the aisles were so crowded as to be uncomfortable. The graduating exercises of the Pearl High School is the one event in this city that brings the colored people together—the one event in which every creed and sect is interested and the members of the race attest this deep interest by annually attending these exercises. A conservative estimate of those present places the number at 5,000. Seated upon the platform at the right of the class were the teachers of the High School and a number of men prominent in the affairs of the city. To the left where some of the members of the Board of Education and the Superintendent of the city schools. A portion of the building extending to the left of the speaker's stand directly behind that reserved for the Board of Education, was reserved for whites, quite a number of whom were present. Promptly at 8 o'clock Miss Carrie Mildred Bryant, who presided at the piano, began a spirited march and the class of '08, led by Miss Anna L. Mayberry, filed in from the eastern entrance. As the class, each female member of which was tastefully arrayed in white, carrying cut flowers, draped with the class colors and each male dressed becomingly in solid black, wended its way around the auditorium, vociferous applause came from the vast concourse of people. The class marched around the northern aisle to the center, and thence to the stage. Reaching the stage, each member crossed right and left to the place assigned respectively to them. The first number on the programme was the musical rendition of the Twenty-third Psalm. This number showed an exquisite blending of voices seldom heard in a chorus of school children and speaks volumes for the ability of the students and those who had in charge the training of the voices. The next number, "Over the Hill at Break of Day," a semi-chorus, so phrased the audience that an encore was given. Mr. Louis O. Manson, the salutatorian of the class, came next on the programme. He had chosen as his theme "American Genius," and right well did he handle his subject. Before entering into the body of his speech, he welcomed the Board of Education, the Superintendent of the city schools, the parents, citizens and teachers to the exercises of the evening. It was distinctly noticeable that the speeches of Mr. Manson and Miss Hodgkins, who spoke later, were devoid of the fulsome flattery that has marred some of the exercises held in this city in the past. The same was true of the address delivered by Prof. Smith. Following the speech of Mr. Manson, which was well applauded, the Girl's Glee Club of Pearl High School sang "Star of Peace." This number, which contained a solo obligato, the solo part being taken by Miss Madeline B. Carter, was one of the best received numbers on the programme. Miss Carter has a very pleasing soprano voice, and though not fully developed, has a very wide range. The Glee Club responded to the applause with another song which was also meritoriously sung. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1908. Miss Hattie Hodgkins, the valedictorian of the class, followed the Glee Club. Her subject being "No Excellency Without Great Labor." Miss Hodgkin's speech showed careful preparation and was well received. Her enunciation though made it difficult for those not near the stage to understand everything she said. She expressed the thanks of the class as the first speaker had extended the welcome. A vocal solo, "Carmena," sung by Miss Emma L. Cheairs, was the next number on the programme. Miss Cheairs, who has been heard in one or two previous commencement exercises of the High School, and is a general favorite, possesses a voice of rare sweetness, especially adapted to colorature work. The piece selected was peculiarly fitting to her style of voice, and brought out all of its beauties. Miss Cheairs responded to the applause with another solo. Prof. Frank G. Smith then, as is his custom on this occasion every year, delivered his address to the graduating class. Before addressing the class, however, Prof. Smith spoke in part as follows to the Board of Education: "The occasion which brought us together here to night is the twenty-first annual commencement of the Pearl High School. The vast concourse of colored citizens, the multitude of eager anxious people who have listened so carefully to these exercises, is not without meaning. It shows the deep interest the colored people take in the welfare and success of the Pearl High School. I venture the assertion that no other high school in the South is as popular with the colored people as the Pearl High School. Mr. Superintendent and members of the Board of education, I wish to thank you for the admirable public spirit and liberal policy which you have manifested toward us and express the hope that we will always merit your confidence and your kind consideration." Prof. Smith addressed himself to the class which he requested to rise, delivered a vigorous speech in which he admonished the class of '08 to seek to lead high, useful lives, always endeavoring to make their class motto their life's motto. With the class still standing, Dr. R. B. Lees, President of the Board of Education, read an address, after which he presented on behalf of the Board of Education, the following with diplomas: Walter H. Davis, William A. McKissack, Louis O. Manson, Herman A. Matthews, Reuben L. Richardson, Ira Charles Watson, Eleanor A. Battle, Lillian B. Campbell, Nannie E. Campbell, Sadie L. Watson, Emma T. Cheairs, Tabitha L. Claybrooks, Sallie I. Duvall, Minnie L. Fite, Mackie L. Hardison, Cella M. Hendley, Hattie E. Hodgkins, Tennie L. Hughes, Ruthy L. Jones and Anna L. Mayberry. The various graduates were the recipients of many tokens of the occasion, some of which were very handsome and valuable. The officers of the class were as follows: Louis O. Manson, President; Sadie L. Watson, Secretary, and Ruthy L. Jones, Treasurer HIGH SCHOOL BANQUET. Following the graduating exercises of the Pearl High School at the Ryman Auditorium, the members of the Alumni Association tendered a banquet to the class of 1908, at the Odd Fellow's Auditorium. Here was assembled each member of the class and a host of the Alumni Association with their company. The arrangements for the banquet were under the direct supervision of Profs. George E. Washington, H. A. Cameron and Mr. Geo. L. Grady. These being rendered every assistance by other members of the Association. The spacious auditorium was cleared of all excess chairs and preceding the serving of the honorees and the other guests, the floor was given over to the dancers. The banquet was served upon the stage at the rear of the auditorium and the table, handsomely decorated with cut flowers and the class colors, surrounded by the sweet girl graduates and their gallant-appearing classmates, presented a very beautiful sight. The menu, while not elaborate, showed an excellent taste in its selection and preparation. Dancing continued until a late hour, the floor being under the direction of Mr. Hughlett Box. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. A woman named Sarah Murphy, who lives on Pearl street between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, North, attempted suicide Wednesday night by taking a quantity of laudanum. She was sent to the City Hospital for medical attention. It is thought she will recover. Miss Mattie Winfrey, who finished in the normal department of Walden University, left the city Sunday for her home at Little Rock, Ark. Miss Winfrey is an aunt of Chas. Winfrey Kelly, of 653 Bass street. FINANCIAL PANIC Caught Most Business Men and Concerns Unawares. SOME BUSINESS HOUSES WHICH HAVE SURVIVED THE AWFUL GRISES. GLOBE REPORTER INTERVIEWS DR. R. H. BOYD, WHO MAKES MOST ENCOURAGING STATEMENTS — BUSINESS OF ONE-CENT SAVINGS BANK SHOWS DECIDED INCREASE—PUBLISHING HOUSE OF A. M. E. SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION IN FLOURISHING CONDITION—NEGRO RECOGNIZED AS A POTENT FACTOR IN BUILDING UP GREATER NASHVILLE. The financial panic left in most business circles and in nearly every large business concern some trace of its heavy foot-prints or some trace of its havoc wrought. This city suffered as most of the large manufacturing centers. Some large firms closed their doors, suspended operation and left out of work a long list of employees. Some have resumed their operations; others have not. The panic came upon most of the business men and concerns without warning. Others had talked of it, counselled about it, and prepared for its coming. A representative of The Globe, in taking a review of the situation as it affected Nashville, finds that some of the Negro business concerns had prepared for such emergencies—not by accumulating a large bank account, as some would suppose, but by the economical and wise management of their business during prosperous and undisturbed seasons. Some of them had contemplated and actually planned large and extensive improvements. This is particularly true of the Baptist Publishing Board, which owns that mammoth printing, bookbinding and publishing concern located in this city, under the management of Dr. R. H. Boyd, and operated under the auspices of the Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention. It has a long list of employees, and all of the work, with but few exceptions, is that of skilled labor. In a conversation with Dr. Boyd, the Globe reporter learned that in this past quarter, which closed the 31st day of May, they have had an unprecedented record. Dr. Boyd stated that his orders for Sunday-school literature, church-helps and supplies numbered at the close of business May 31, twenty-two thousand, five hundred and fifty-five (22,555)—a record-breaker in itself, representing a majority of all the Negro Baptist Sunday-schools and churches in the United States. "I do not know," said Dr. Boyd in answer to a query from the Globe reporter, "just how many Sunday-schools we have supplied, but I estimate we have sent orders to eighteen or twenty thousand Negro Baptist Sunday-schools. These school are scattered throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, South and Central America, West Indies Philippine Islands and Africa." It would be interesting for any institution to note the vast number of letters being delivered every day, some of them coming from such places as Saba, a small island in the group of the Danish West Indies. One could hardly find it on the map. Yet, according to Dr. Boyd's statement, wherever there are loyal Negro Baptists who have heard about and know the workings of the National Baptist Publishing Board, he has either been able to control or will soon be in a position to control their patronage. "The incoming quarter, which is known as the July quarter," said Dr. Boyd. "is usually the largest quarter in the year. From June 15 to July 1 there will be an average of over one thousand letters per day. It will be particularly heavy this year on account of the extensive preparations for Children's Day, as about one hundred thousand copies of the Children's Day programs will be distributed, and on account of the ever-increasing interest in the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, which is to convene in Jacksonville, Fla." Aside from this the business shows other marked im provements, as this week will witness the preparations for the finishing touches to be put on the first story of the Memorial Building. Then will begin the installation of the machinery purchased some time ago. It will be remembered that three buildings have been practically built and completed by this concern since the panic began, and though Dr. Boyd has been handicapped to some extent in a financial way, the expenses have been paid for as the work proceeded. This is only one among the remarkable showings made by the Negro" in Nashville, which proves that he is a potent factor in building up "Greater Nashville." The One Cent Savings Bank shows a decided increase in its business. The deposits have been larger than in any period during its existence. A report printed in the Nashville Globe from the Secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, just prior to the General Conference at Norfolk, showed that this religious plant, like that of the Baptists, had weathered the panic in such a way as not to be materially affected. Its year's work showed by far the most successful it had ever witnessed. They, too, have extensive plans under way for improvements, which will bring up their plant to a higher scale. There is no doubt but that within the next eight or ten months all records such as buildings, improvements and business ventures in the race, so far as Nashville is concerned, will be smashed, and the people, as a whole, benefited. THE BLIND SCHOOL CLOSES. A Successful Year of Hard Work Finished. The commencement exercises of the colored department of the Tennessee School for the Blind began with a musical in the chapel of that institution last Friday night, which was beyond doubt one of the best ever held. The students showed marked improvement, which was the result of careful training. The instructor in music, Miss Quinnetta Compton, has demonstrated that she is an earnest, conscientious worker. The baccalaureate sermon was preached last Sunday at 3 p. m. by Rev. Mr. Imes, pastor of Howard Congregational Church. Many friends from the city crowded the chapel to its utmost capacity to listen to this eloquent appeal. On Tuesday night a literary entertainment, for which had been prepared a very nice program; but the crowning efforts were seen in the graduating exercises on Wednesday, at which diplomas were awarded to those who had successfully finished the course outlined for the State of Tennessee in this special line of education. Miss Minnie May Hunter, who has charge of the literary department, and who has been at the institution for several years has succeeded in accomplishing that most difficult task—instilling in all the minds of those without sight the art of reading, ciphering, spelling mathematics, geography and writing The following program was given: Jubilee song; invocation, Rev. E. C. Jones; chorus, "Come, Smiling Spring;" recitation, Resiey Thomas; instrumental duet, "Cooing Doves," Izzie Casey and Nannie Gore; vocal solo, "Deep in the Mire" Jake Simons; recitation, Blanche Davis; vocal duet, "I Would That My Love," Flossie Covington and B. Boyd; drama, "Pienic;" piano solo, "To the Waltz," Blanche Davis; vocal duet, "Mary and Marie," Jessie Seawright and Mary Sue Dickerson; drama, "Actions Speak Louder Than Words;" jubilee song, farewell chorus. It was encouraging to note the excellent and high marked attainment by the entire class, which, while not as large as the year before, reached higher marks, and the work showed more improvement. In the mechanical department or industrial department, Prof. Neal was able to bring better results than heretofore. He seemed to understand his work thoroughly and he has proven, although blind himself, an excellent teacher. The friends and admirers of the institution cannot think too highly of the principal, Mrs. Susan M. Lowe, who has spent more than a quarter of a century working in this department of educational upbuilding of the race. The school loses with a hope that when the following term opens hundreds of the unfortunates who have heretofore not enjoyed such privileges, will be sent at once to the school for necessary training. Miss Ella Howse, of 705 Lea avenue, left the city Tuesday evening for St. Louis, where she will visit her sister. No.22 VISITS ALMA MATER Prof. J. D. Crenshaw Delivers Dedicatory Address. TRINITY COLLEGE, OF ATHENS, ALABAMA, SCENE OF BRILLIANT DEDICATION. ONE OF THE OLDEST CONGREGATIONAL SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTH—COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES HELD ENTIRE WEEK ALUMNI OF SCHOOL FOUND IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE—PRESENT SITE SCENE OF MANY CONFLICTS DURING CIVIL WAR—GLOWING TRIBUTE PAID TO MEMORY OF FOUNDER—FACULTY AND ALUMNI BANQUET PROF. CRENSHAW. Athens, Ala., May 28, 1908.—After an absence of twenty-three years, all of which time has been spent in active, progressive educational work, Prof. J. D. Crenshaw, a graduate of Trinity College, and recently of Texas, but now of Nashville, Tenn., returned to this city upon special invitation of the principal, faculty and trustees to deliver the dedicatory address at this school, which is one of the oldest of the Congregational schools; established in the South. The building that was dedicated to-day is situated in the center of the old fort, which was the scene of many conflicts during the Civil War. It is one of the most beautiful school buildings in the sunny South—magnificently constructed and just one mile from the center of the city. The school was founded early in 1865 by that fearless, tireless, Christian woman, Miss M. F. Wells, to whose memory Prof. Crenshaw paid a deserving tribute in his address. He said that in the face of a most threatening and dangerous opposition to such a movement, she came South and entered upon her chosen work. Time and again her life was in jeopardy, and on more than one occasion did the Ku Klux Klan, then so noted in Northern Alabama, threaten her life, but never did she entertain a thought of leaving or discontinuing her efforts to do good for an oppressed people. The exercises for the entire commencement week have been of the very highest order. Graduates from this college are numbered among the most noted men and women in the race. They fill positions in every walk of life, reflecting much credit upon the institution to which they point with pride as their Alma Mater. These forty-three years have proven the worth, the need and the growing importance of this school. The building dedicated to-day takes the place of the one destroyed by the disastrous fire on February 13, 1907, and guarantees the continuance of the aggressive educational campaign begun in this city over two score years ago. The older students from far and near contributed much to the success of this commencement exercises. The address of Prof. Crenshaw was the principal feature. His theme and his entire discourse, eloquent, logical and timely, was well received and applauded throughout. At the conclusion of the address, the present principal, Miss Hubbard, the faculty, trustees, the graduating classes and the Alumni Association entertained Prof. Crenshaw, their guest. The list of graduates this year was considerably larger than any previous year in the history of the school. ALL-DAY MEETING. It is announced by Mrs. B. H. Gray, a member of the State W. C. T. U., that arrangements have been made by which an all-day meeting, under the auspices of the Christian Temperance Union, will be held at the Spruce Street Baptist Church on Friday, June 12. The plan is that of Mrs. Susan Rhines, and it is styled as a God-given plan calculated to do much good. The morning session of the meeting will be devoted to papers and discussion. The afternoon session will be a mother's meeting, in which mothers are requested to come and bring their children. The day is to be spent in prayer. Mrs Broughton, the state President of the W. C. T.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1908. A GREAT NEWSPAPER IN TENNESSEE. been Baptis The city of Nashville has well been styled "The Athens of the South." This is on account of the many schools and great universities located there, which are among the oldest in the South. In all of them the students are acquiring higher education. Aside from this it is one of the wealthiest cities in the Southland—the metropolis as well as the capital of the Volunteer State—Tennessee. In the city of Nashville are to be found some of the leading business and professional men connected or identified with the race. It can boast of having two of the largest Negro printing and publishing houses and book concerns in the world. Thousands of students point with pride to their Alma Mater located in Nashville. The Negro Baptists, with their enormous membership, have three of their leading boards located in that city, viz.: The National Baptist Publishing Board, with buildings, stock and machinery worth over $250,000; the Baptist Young People's Union Board and the Educational Board of the National Baptist Convention. The African Methodist Episcopal Church has its publishing plant located in Nashville, Tenn., with two bishops of the church hailing from the same city. Hence it is nominally looked upon as their headquarters. The Colored Methodist Episcopal Church has one of its leading bishops located in the city. The home of Bishop I. B. Scott of the Methodist Episcopal Church, North, the only Negro bishop in that church, is in Nashville. The Congregationalists, Episcopalians, Catholics and, in fact, nearly all of the denominations, look to nearly all of the intelligent and cultured men. Aside from this, the commercial business interest of the city is unexcelled. The Meharry Medical College furnishes a larger number of physicians, pharmacists and dentists than any school in the race. This school has sent out over twelve hundred men in the medical world who are practicing in all parts of the United States, Canada, Mexico, South and Central America and the West Indies. There are bankers, merchants mechanics and business men in every walk of life doing prosperous business there. Hence in order to know something about the city, it becomes necessary to get a copy of the leading secular paper, known as The Nashville Globe. This paper is brimful of information each week concerning happenings in and about Nashville. It is now the only secular paper published in the capital city of Tennessee. The subscription price of The Nashville Globe is $1.50 per year in advance, or forty cents per quarter. Any person desiring to know something about "The Athens of the South" should send five cents in stamps for a sample copy or send forty cents for three months' subscription. All letters addressed to The Nashville Globe, 447 Fourth avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn., will be promptly replied to. Send in a subscription or send for a sample copy at once. FLUFFY RAFFLES ENTERTAINMENT. At Jackson's Temple C. M. E. Church, June 8 and 9, 1908. There will be a grand entertainment given at Jackson Temple Church Monday and Tuesday nights, June 8th and 9th. This will be an entirely new entertainment on the order of Fluffy Raffles, who created so much excitement among the white people trying to catch her. We want to see how many detectives we have among our people. On the night of the 8th Jonah will appear. The person on capturing Jonah must repeat the following sentence: "Ah, there you Jonah, I have sought you through this night, and at last I have you," and must also have the last issue of the Globe in his hand. On the night of the 9th Mikie will appear. The person on capturing Mikie must repeat the following sentence: "Ah, there, Mikie, I have you," and must have last issue of Clarion in his hand. The lucky persons will receive a handsome reward, $5.00. This promises to be the grandest entertainment of the season. All are cordially invited to be present and take a chance at these mysterious persons. Admission, 10 cents. Committee on Arrangement: M. L. LYDA, J. W. ALEXANDER, ANDREW DAVIS, MRS. S. A. SAWYERS, MRS. M. T. BENTLEY, MRS. A. M. SHAW. * It has been "weeks and Sundays" since such a crowd as that which filled the Spruce Street Baptist Church last Sunday, from 3 to 5 o'clock, had been seen in the "Mother of all Baptist churches" in this city. The Knights of Pythias and the Courts of Calanthe from the lodges and courts in Nashville proper responded magnificently to the call for a meeting and to the rally, which was under the management of Messrs. S. P. Harris and T. Clay Moore, Chairman and Secretary of the Pythian Hall Association respectively. Spruce Street Baptist Church is one of the largest in the city and will seat comfortably twelve hundred. The entire seating space was taken up for the occasion. A more gallant set of men has never marched through Nashville streets. The two uniform ranks of Pythians made a creditable showing marching from the Pythian Temple to the Spruce Street Baptist Church at the head of more than a regiment of these knightly knights. An encouraging feature of the rally was first the response of the courts, and second, the financial results. The collection Sunday evening, while not reported accurately, is estimated up into the hundreds of dollars. Each lodge and court took its collection separately. The visitors contributed generously to the cause. The entertainment continued through Monday night. TO THE PUBLIC. The ladies of the Day Home Club desire to thank their friends and all contributors for all money, no matter how small the amount, bed clothing, clothes, groceries, furniture and all other articles that have been given to the work. The Home was opened in December, 1906, and since that time the ladies have been compelled to raise fifty dollars a month to meet its expenses. This has been a great tax on a few faithful members—so great a tax that it has been thought best to close the Home for a vacation until money can be raised and placed in the treasury with which to carry it on. We appeal to the generous public to come to our assistance. MRS. J. C. NAPIER, President, MRS. A. B. CARTER, Secretary, MRS. W. O. TATE, Treasurer. OUR NOBLE CHIEF. Detroit, Mich., June 3.—(Special.)—There was one very much surprised and badly frightened colored man in town this morning. He walked quietly into a restaurant opposite the Wayne Hotel, seated himself on a stool and was about to order his breakfast, when the man sitting next to him grabbed him by the throat and threw him into the street. The man who did the throwing is Capt. Henry Curran, Chief of Police of Nashville, Tenn. "Niggers down my way know better than to presume to eat at the same counter with a white person," said Curran, when he had caught his breath. The Nashville Chief is stopping at the Wayne, while attending the International Convention of Police Chiefs. "Of course, if I had known they allowed Negroes to enter the place, I would have gone elsewhere for my breakfast," added Curran. "When he took a stool right next to me, it was too much. My blood was up in a minute. He did not seem willing to leave, so I took him to the door. Did I throw him out? Yes, I guess that's about the size of it." Chief Curran is one of the picturesque delegates to the Convention, being over 60 years of age and with snow-white hair. He has been Chief of the Nashville Department for many years. "Oh, it was nothing," he said, after returning to the Wayne. "Just what I would have done down home."—The American. MRS. J. H. MAY. Many Teunesseans will remember Rev. J. H. May, who at one time was a student at Roger Williams University. After finishing school he entered the ministry and pastored for a long time in St. Louis, Mo. At present he is pastor of the Bryan Street Baptist Church, Savannah, Ga., which is now about 135 years old and no doubt the oldest organized Negro church in the United States. The wife of Rev. Mr. May is in the city visiting his sister and brother-in-law, Prof. and Mrs. F. N. Green. Mrs. May before her marriage was one of the prominent teachers in the city of St. Louis. She will remain here this week, but will spend the summer in St. Louis, where later on she will be joined by her husband. She has with her two children that will see St. Louis for the first time. CARD OF THANKS We wish to return thanks to friends for their kind words of condolence and sympathy in our recent sorrow, caused by the death of our little daughter, Ruth Alma. We feel under many obligations to them for their services rendered us in time of need, and for the loving remembrance shown in tokens of many beautiful floral designs. We feel that we owe them a debt that can be paid only by "Him who doeth all things well." Sincerely, DR. AND MRS. J. B. SINGLETON. SOCIETY BADGES All Styles and Prices. MEMBER LOCAL NO.! I.U.J.H.

Price, recognized by all who know him as a successful laundryman, was the efficient manager of the Economical Steam Laundry of this city five years. After which time he took charge of the People's Steam Laundry, of Memphis, Tenn. After laboring with this company about a year, he decided that owing to the obligations brought on the concern by the former management, he was too far handicapped to assure the success that he had contemplated. When asked concerning the work in the cities where he had been, Mr. Price said: "I find the fault to be the same with all of them (our stockholders). They will not invest enough in the beginning. In order for the colored man to be successful in the laundry business, he must install the latest machinery and stop using what the white laundries have put aside because of unfitness to do work properly. If we do this we will surely be successful and receive good support from our people. And this is especially true, since our people are being sneered at so by the white laundries. "It requires an unusually large capital to complete a laundry with the facilities for doing the work that will compete with that gotten out by the whites, and unless we invest to this extent there is no success for us." Mr. Price was recently appointed clerk in the Chicago Post Office, for which position he passed the board of examiners last winter, but as he was employed as bookkeeper by Dr. W. D. Chappelle, at the A. M. E. Church S. S. Union at the time of his appointment, he declined the offer. In respect to the new management of the Union, Mr. Price said: "I think Mr. Bryant is fully competent in every respect, and the fact that he knows the practical side of the work in which he is engaged, signifies his success." --- RECITAL OF MISS WELLS.

The doll and flag drills given at Spruce Street Baptist Church, Wednesday night by Miss Jennie P. Dunson was quite a success. An excellent program was rendered by the little ones. Speeches were said by the three smallest tots in the doll drill which were Misses Charlie Mai Malone, Annie Mai Dunson and Alma Gary. The doll and flag drills were both beautifully executed. The tots in the doll drill were dressed in regulation nurse dresses of blue with white aprons and white caps, while the girls in the flag drill wore blue skirts, while sailor waists and red sashes. Miss Dunson deserves much for the brilliant entertainment given the public Wednesday night, and the effort put forth to assist her church. 130 YEARS OLD AND LOSES YOUNG WIFE. New York, June 3.—Wm. Brooks Mason, a Negro, who said he was 130 years old, to-day asked the police to look for his 30-year-old wife, who he said had left his home in Harlem on May 21. "He tells it all right, but somehow I can't believe it," remarked the lieutenant at the desk of the station house in West 126th street. "I guess I will have to, anyway, for he said he was an ordained minister." Hobbling along with the aid of a cane Mason walked into the station house and said he was married three months ago to a 30-year-old woman in Harlem. He met her only a few days before. On May 11 he said he gave her $4. The next day she left him, and he thinks she has gone to Charleston, S. C., where she had a child. Mason said he was born in Havana in 1770, and that when Lord Cornwallis surrendered to Gen. Washington at Yorktown, he held General Washington's horse. The Negro then returned to Havana, he said, and remained there until 69 years ago when he came to this country an ordained minister and preached throughout the south. Nineteen years ago Mason says he married for the first time. He was then 111 years old. His wife died seven years ago, and he did not fall in love again until he met his present wife.

Hopkinsville, Ky., June 3.—The first trial in Kentucky of a person charged with night riding was that to-day of Mat Gholson, cegioned, alleged to have been a member of the mob which raided Hopkinsville on the night of December 6, and destroyed three tobacco warehouses and shot up the town generally. The case was taken up the first thing after court convened this morning, occupied the entire day and resulted in the acquittal of the defendant. The prosecution introduced two witnesses, Louis Woolridge, and T. E. Lawson, who stated that they saw a Negro here in company with the night riders. Neither of them knew the man at the time, but recognized him afterward and identified him as Gholson. Both Lawson and Mr. Woolridge stated that the Negro they saw was not masked and so far as they could see did not carry a weapon. The defense was an alibi and contradiction of Lawson's testimony. By neighbors and members of his family, it was proved that Gholson was called from his house while the shooting was still going on in town, by Fount Keener and that after talking to Keener, Gholson returned to his house and went to sleep again. --- The Nashville Globe.

A HISSING INCIDENT. When the graduating exercises of the colored high school were held last week in Chattanooga an incident not down on the scheduled program occurred. Col. L. T. Dickinson, President of the Board of Education, when delivering an address to the graduating classes, proceeded to deliver a lecture on the race problem and for his pains was so severely hissed by an audience of between 3,000 and 4,000 Negroes that it was difficult for him to be heard more than ten feet from the platform. Col. Dickinson said in his speech that educating Negroes increased their criminal tendencies. He also brought into his address the Cosmopolitan dinner and thanked the Lord that two of the educated class of Negroes—the lawyers in the Ed. Johnson case—had been run out of his city. He likewise accused the race of being concealers of criminals. The Chattanooga Times, speaking of the affair editorially, condemns the impropriety of those who showed their disapproval by hissing; read a lecture to the colored leaders of that city and the South, but had not one word of condemnation for the bad judgment—to speak of Col. Dickinson's speech in as charitable light as possible—shown in making a white man's political speech before a Negro audience. In dealing with the schools for colored children it seems to be impossible for some men and some newspapers like The Times to get it into their heads that the Negro is a taxpayer, and should be treated as such in matters affecting the schools. They can understand very readily that the consumer indirectly pays the tariff on imported articles, but it seems to be beyond their comprehension that the renter indirectly pays the taxes upon the property which he uses. They proceed upon the theory "We are taxing ourselves to educate your children." It is true that the white people of Tennessee are taxing themselves to educate our children, but likewise they are taxing us to maintain things from which we get no benefit. The University of Tennessee and many eleemosynary institution throughout the state into which no Negroes are allowed, are receiving appropriations, which in part are made up from funds derived from Negro taxpayers. And we might mention for the benefit of Col. Dickinson, we are paying taxes to help support some of his comrades in the Civil War, who, more unfortunate than he, stand in need of aid from the state in their old age. These facts have not been mentioned in a spirit of captious criticism. The Negroes of the state are glad to see increased appropriations made for educational and charitable institutions, and if it were left to those of our race, the Confederate veterans, who answered to the call of their state, would receive increased pensions. It is high time that such newspapers as The Chattanooga Times were calling a halt upon such uncalled for speeches as that delivered by Col. Dickinson. The Negroes of the South know that the charges made by the president of the Chattanooga Board of Education are not in consonance with the facts which Co. Dickinson could have found out very easily by tracing the records of those who have graduated from the public schools of his or any other city in Tennessee. As to concealing criminals, we are sure that the public records will show that more Negroes have been convicted upon evidence given by members of their race in the courts of the South than by that given by all other races combined. The Times, instead of lecturing "the leaders" of the colored race in Chattanooga as to their duty, could do more to bring about better relations between the races by lecturing the president of the Chattanooga Board of Education on how to address an audience of Negroes without bringing in the silly bug bear of "social equality" and such tommy-rot. CONTESTS FROM THE SOUTH. Upward of two hundred delegates from the South to the National Republican Convention, which meets in Chicago on June 16, have their seats contested. Every district in the state of Tennessee with one exception, is sending up a contesting delegation, and, besides, the four delegates at large are on the list. These contests from so many of the states come from the fact that there has been a determined effort upon the part of the federal office-holders of the South to send up delegates pledged to do the bidding of the administration, irrespective of what the masses of the party may think. The irregularities in this Congressional district by which delegates from Davidson County were named to the State Convention by a local executive committee before the State Convention had been called, is but a sample of what has been practiced in many portions of the South. Likewise these contests come from an attempt in many places to establish a lily-white party—and in most of such cases the contestants are office-holders. The outcome of these contests can not be foreseen, but if the office-holder bosses have been as high-handed in other states as they have been in Tennessee, it would not be surprising if the National Convention should turn down every office-holder and lily-white on the list. BREAK IT UP, MR. BROWN. Mayor Brown should stir up the Nashville policemen about permitting women to congregate and loiter in the low dives of the city. We see no reason why the policemen, who are so ready to beat up or insult decent people when they are attending their own business, should be so languid in keeping colored women of bad character out of saloons. Within the past week there was a murder committed on one of the prominent streets of the city and the deed could be directly attributed to the laxness of the officers in not keeping women out of the dives. The laws of the city should be enforced impartially. All women, no matter to what race they belong, should be compelled to remain out of the saloons, and if Mayor Brown will but give a hint to the police department we believe that the practice will be broken up. The Independence League, it is said, will have a full ticket in the field in the November elections in this state. Hearst doubtless expects to catch enough dissatisfied democrats who will not vote the republican ticket and dissatisfied republican who will not vote the democratic ticket, to make a big showing in the Volunteer State. The more tickets the merrier the race. Bring on a few more new parties. toned The vice in eductions, grace, an would At last there has appeared a candidate for the Vice Presidency.

COMMUNICATION Belle View School. It was quite a treat to me to visit the Manual Training exhibit at Belle View School. I acknowledge I went with some misgivings. This being the first year of combined hand and mental training in the colored schools led me to suppose that I would find a crude, inartistic combination of variegated colors and materials; but I assure you I was greatly surprised and pleased when I stepped into the room last Monday afternoon. A bird's-eye view of the room from the doorway first impresses the visitor with the quiet, yet harmonious and artistic arrangements. On closer inspection one has to wonder how such beautiful designs can be made from bits of paper. I found stars, boats, salt cellars and, I know not what nice articles, from folded paper. Then there were beautiful little rugs made in happy combinations by small yet nimble hands. I passed by the third grade work and longed to be a child again. Here was cardboard construction of cupboards, tables, and furniture of every description. The baskets of the fourth and fifth grades are well worth going some distance to see. There was shown from the very beginning the weaving up to the finishing product. What caught your scribe's eye was the whittling of the boys of the sixth grade and the beautiful sewing of the girls of the same grade. The training of the hands in this grade calls for accuracy and acumen. I am quite sure that the Board of Education could have done no nobler thing for the colored citizens of Nashville than the introduction of manual training in our colored schools, and I for one desire to thank them most heartily for the wish they have to bring out the very best qualities of heart, mind and soul that may be dormant in our Negro boys and girls. For most assuredly this is not a training of hands alone, but also a training of the brain. The citizens appreciated this exhibit. Dr. White told me that they had from fifty to eighty or ninety visitors daily. ALEX. C. SHARPE. "Honor to Whom Honor is Due." To the Nashville Globe: We would like to know upon what ground the judges of the contest at the First Baptist Church, East Nashville, base their decision. If from a point of excellence of rendition the purple were easily the winners. In delivery, stage appearance, carriage, articulation, jestication, etc., the gold was out-classed from start to finish. At the close of the program the "foremistress" of the judges asked the question, "Is there a prize to be given? if so we will cut it in half." This showed plainly that at least the purple had tied the gold for points. And the decision should have been a tie anyway. The selection of judges should have been made by the contesting sides, and then there would not have been the aftermath that must evidently follow where justice is not given and stings the conscientious worker on the other side, and perhaps cause enemies in the church. The matter is a small one but even little things sometime cause great disturbances. We cannot see where a single point was scored over the purple by the gold. The best the judges should have given would be a draw. STUMP To the Nashville Globe: Please do me the kindness to publish the following: It has been charged by some gentlemen residing in Nashville that I while on my recent lecturing tour, indulged in quite a deal of criticism respecting certain departments of the Knights of Pythias in this state, and, too, that I conducted an electioneering rather than a lecturing tour. To the first accusation I desire to answer thus, that whatever I may have said by way of criticism regarding any branch of the organization was intended to be helpful criticism, and the same was based upon facts furnished me by the heads of the departments whose affairs I am alleged to have criticised, and I desire to state further that I have those facts in my possession now in the shape of dates and figures, and if the "distinguished gentlemen" who have made the charge of criticism desire a perusal of them they can do so by seeing me. "Truth" was what I was endeavoring to establish and as to the success of my efforts along that line, I shall let the gentlemen themselves determine. As to the charge of electioneering, I'll say that those Knights of Nashville who were so unfortunate as to hear my address there on February 26 last, listened also to a facsimile of what I said from Bristol to Memphis. In view of this fact, I challenge the gentlemen to make good the assertions or failing to do so, be promoted to the portfolios of "Past Masters of the Work" in the Ananias Society. I make these explanations because I feel that my friends are entitled to know the real truth of the matter, and not because of any desire to enter into controversy with the gentlemen who seem to be laboring so industriously to change the sentiment of the delegates regarding the race for Grand Lecturer. We cannot say just what will happen at Clarksville. But we can say that whatever happens upon the record we have tried to make as Grand Lecturer, we are prepared to either stand or fall Yours in F., C. and B. COL. J. M. EASTERLING, J. M. EASTERLING, READING IN BED. (From the Family Doctor.) Reading in bed, like most luxuries, can be overdone, in fact there seems to be only one excuse for this fascinating way of ending the day. Certain people find that their worries accumulate in their brains after bedtime; their nerves are at high tension and their minds are actively at work trying to solve problems that should have been left behind in the city. Going to bed with the brain in such a state means that with nothing to distract the thoughts, hearing nothing and seeing nothing in the darkness, imagination has full sway and hours of wakefulness may be the result. Such a man, we think, will find half an hour's reading in bed a great help. With careful attention paid to the quality and position of the light so that without flickering it shines over the shoulder and directly on the page the much maligned habit of reading in bed has sometimes a very beneficial effect on a tired and overwakeful brain.

Mound Bayou, Miss., May 22, 1908—The fourth annual session of the Mississippi Negro Business League will be held in the city of Vicksburg, Wednesday and Thursday, July 1 and 2. The work the League has done in arousing and stimulating business thrift among our people in Mississippi is well known. Having within its borders the most potent and thoroughly organized League in the Union, Mississippi proudly boasts of an exceptionally large number of successful, energetic business men and women. From present indications our Vicksburg meeting will eclipse all former ones in attendance and interest generally. Messrs. Ewing, Miller, Crayton, Jones, Mollison, Copelain, Johnson, Mason, McKinney, Proctor, Morant, and many other prominent characters of the "Hill City" are doing their part to give the delegates the best entertainment in the history of the League. Hon. J. C. Napier, Attorney at Law, of Nashville, Tenn., will deliver an address in addition to the regular program, during the session. The League will also be favored with an address by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Corresponding Secretary of the Woman's Convention auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention. The members of the State Press Association invited to be present and take part in the deliberations. Persons desiring to attend these meetings, as well as the League, can take advantage of the reduced rates granted the League by obtaining certificate at time of purchasing ticket. Full report of the cotton seed oil mill which is to be built in the Negro metropolis—Mound Bayou, will be made during the meeting.

Selling and Collecting Agent for the Nashville Globe. He is authorized to collect for subscriptions and advertisements. The Globe Publishing Company announced a few months ago that it would not have an agent to collect subscriptions and would have their patrons remit by mail or call at the office and make settlements; but that system did not meet with popular favor. It required some time to find a man who could do the work satisfactorily, but we believe we have found him in the person of Mr. Williams, whose likeness appears above. You will find him obliging and polite. He may call on you to-morrow. Be prepared to settle your account. Yours respectfully, THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, D. A. Hart, Manager.

Jacksonville, Fla, to Entertain the Congress and Chautauqua. Oe eee oe Ot) ae ae el eee eR Re Se for its objects the moral uplift and elevation of the minds of the young people in the Sunday-schools and mis- sionary work, will convene in Jack- sonville, Fla. This will be the third annual session of this National Bap- tist Sunday School Congress and ‘Young People’s Chautauqua, It will open Wednesday morning, June 24, for a five-day session, The final ar- rengements for the speakers, the pro- ‘gram for the five-day session, the entertainment of the delegates and vialtote, have been completed and the ‘excursion rates on the railroads have ‘been announced. There are thirty- six well-prepared, carefully selected subjects, covering every phase of Sunday-school work, which will be discussed in the five days’ proceed- ings. It is not a deliberative body, and a unique feature of dividing the meet- ing off into departmental sessions in the afternoon of each day guarantees an interesting and instructive Chau- tauqua. The principal object of the meeting will be kept in view. There will be no effort to transform the meeting into anything other than a Sunday School Congress and a Young People’s Chautauqua, It is learned from the Secretary of the Congress Movement, Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, that over one hundred people have sent in their selection of subjects, having taken them from the thirty-six printed subjects announced by Dr. R. H. Boyd about thirty days ago. The present membership of the movement includes representatives from sixty-three state, territorial and district organizations, and about ten thousand Sunday-schools. The Sec- retary states that owing to the in- ability to get a very low rate for the round trip the attendance will prob- ably not be over three or four thou- sand, but this attendance is not re- stricted, to any particular section of the United States. Such-speakers as Rev. N.B, Brough- ton, of Raleigh, N. C.; H. T. Mussel- man, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Lieut.-Col. Allen Allensworth (retired), of Los Angeles, Cal.; Chas. T. Walker, Au- gusta, Ga; W. B, Reed, Madison, N. J.; B. W. D. Isaac and W . S. Elling: ten, of Nashville, Tenn.; N. W. Harts- horn, Boston, Mass., guarantee for this meeting the deserved prominence and recognition that it is receiving. The reports to be presented will come from Sunday-school superintendents, Bible class teachers, advanced teachers, primary teachers and Sunday-school workers, There will be also a full ex- hibit of all the latest and most up-to- date publications of Sunday-school lit- erature, helps and periodicals, together with a complete line of Sunday-school prerequisites, novelties, devices, ete. with full illustrations and instrue- tions of how to use them to advance the interest and attendance of the Sunday-schools. The missionary. work of the Sun day-school is another feature that is to be developed. Much importance is attached to the Educators’ Confer ence. More than one hundred uni versities, colleges, seminaries, acade mies and high schools have been in vited to send representatives to par ticipate in the Educators’ Conference These educators will have for the firs {ime an opportunity to exchange idea: Jon the best plans for advancing re ||ligious and classical as well as tech nical training. ~The fact that the Bap -\tists have branched out and purpos 1{to develop the talent to be found it }|fhe denomination is causing a grea deal of attention to be given to thi i} particular meeting, s| There will be many attractions fo visitors.

Rev. James Taylor, a member of the Primitive Baptist denomination, whose place of residence was near 1615 Patterson street, was stricken with heart failure on Twenty-second avenue, North, while doing an errand for -his wife last Saturday evening about dusk, and expired instantly, A large crowd soon gathured and the excitement for a short time was in- tense. Alsup and MeGavock took charge of the body and prepared it for burial, The deceased, who was ap- parently some fifty or more years of age, was a man of excellent char- acter and had a large. number of friends in the city. ee DEATHS.

It has been “weeks and Sundays” | since such a crowd as that which filled the Spruce Street Baptist Church last Sunday, from 3 to 5. o'clock, has been seen in the “Mother | of all Baptist churches” in this city. The Knights of Pythias and the Courts of Galanthe from the lodges and courts in Nashville prop- er responded magnificently to the call for a meeting and to the rally, which was under the management of Messrs. S. P. Harris and 'T. Clay Moore, Chairman and Secretary of the Pyth- ian Hall Association, respectively. Spruce Street Baptist Chureh is one of the largest in the olty and will Seat comfortably twelve hundred. ‘The entire seating space was taken up for the. oecaston, A more gallant set of men has never marched through Nashville streets. The two uniform ranks of Pythians made a creditable showing marching from the Pythian Temple to the Spruce Street Baptist Church at the head of more than a regiment of these knightly knights. An encouraging feature of the rally was, fiysf, the response of the courts, and, second, the financial results. ‘The collection Sunday evening, whil not reported accurately, {s estimated up into the hundreds of dollars, Wach lodge and court took its col lection separately. The visitors con- tribu(wet generously to the eause The entertainment continued through Monday night. The affair Monday night was not as successfu) as the rally Sunday. This Was on account of so many en- tortainnients in close proximity to the church, Yet the program was carriec out to an audjenee that on an ordinary occasion woutd have been considerec suiticiently large.

The man whose service is efficient is always in demand. The eyes of the public are always on him and in times and places when he thinks not. He never has to resort to artifices to attain business. A good joke went the rounds on our successful Funeral Director a few weeks ago. He was called by phone early one morning, two months ago, and when he arrived at the place instead of finding a man cold in death, the gentleman was quite alive and proceeded to inform Mr. Johnson that he intended dying soon, that he had prepared spiritually; that his policy was all paid up. "And now," said he, "I want to tell you what I want you to do." Instead of grief, the small assembly was soon laughing by the wit of the jovial Undertaker, who advised the gentleman to continue to live as long as he could. After two months the gentleman died and as requested, Mr. Johnson carried out his wishes and gave him a beautiful funeral Monday morning from his residence on Jo Johnston avenue, and strange to say his name was Mr. Joseph Johnson. Mr. Johnson informs the Globe man, that it is not an uncommon thing for people to either advise him in person or have it distinctly understood that they want him to conduct their funeral. Last week Mr. James D. Thompson was at Mr. Johnson's office and in complimenting him on the excellent services rendered in the case of his daughter, who died only a week or so ago, said that "When I die I want you to come and take charge of me." In three days after the conversation, after he had gone to the cemetery and visited the remains of his daughter in the vault, Mr. Thompson came home and died, the funeral taking place Tuesday afternoon. Following the personal request of Mrs. Parham and Mrs. Battle, whose deaths occurred about one week apart on Ninth avenue, South, and that of Mrs. Cloy of Twelfth avenue, South, Mr. Johnson was called in to serve in his official capacity, in the past two weeks. Excellent service, personal bearing, conspicuous competency are apparent to the people and they select their own Funeral Director just the same as they do their physician or their minister. Mr. Johnson's work has been closely watched. He has more than lived up to every agreement made. He devotes his entire time to his business. It is his thought and his attention lay and night. It is first of all things with him. The people in life see his service, select it, inform their family, often inform him. He has confidence in his ability and that confidence is shared by the public. The people in all parts of Nashville know he leads. They adhere his kind of modest, elegant, efficient leading in his profession. They evidence it by their support. That is why in less than ten months the people have chosen Hon. A. N. Johnson, the leading Embalmer and Funeral Director. * CLOSING OF NELSON MERRY ACADEMY.

H. Johnson, D. D., of Bristol, Tenn., was very interesting and full of good advice. Being his first visit, Rev. Mr. Johnson was very much impressed with the work of the school. Dr. H. M. Green, of Knoxville, delivered the annual address, which was full of thought, logic and advice. Dr. Green was attentively listened to and generously applauded. He strikes right out and tells truths that make good and lasting impressions. Dr. Green was elected to the Board of Trustees. Rev. L. A. Carter, the silver-tongued orator of East Tennessee, pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church, Knoxville, made some very timely remarks. Rev. Mr. Elridge, of Rogers Memorial-Baptist Church, Knoxville, gave a very appropriate talk. Rev. Eldridge as well as others seem to be wide awake about the dormitory. Mrs. M. C. Moss, of Knoxville, aroused the women to a higher standard of duty with her encouraging talk. Among the other distinguished guests were Rev. Wm. Harris, Mr. C. C. Dodson, Mr. Fletcher Garrison, Mrs. Lula Fugett, Mrs. Malle Motz, Mrs. N. Bachman, Mrs. Della Forby, Mrs. Fletcher Garrison, Misses Mary Moss Rebecca Fugett, Ada Nichols, — Pate Ella Breedlove, of Knoxville; Rev. J. B. Thompson, White Pine; Rev. W. A. C. Breedlove, Elizabeth; Mr. Thomas Williams and Mr. Horace Gear, of Knoxville College, and many whose names could not be learned. PLANS FOR THE PAGE—HILL WEDDING. The plans for the wedding of Miss Lillian Burton Hill and Eugene Turner Page have been completed and are as follows: The wedding ceremony will take place at St. Paul church on the evening of Wednesday, June 10, at 6 o'clock, and will be performed by Bishop Evans Tyree. A bridal reception will be given for the invited guests at the home of the bride's parents, on Fairview avenue. The colors are pink and white and will be carried out both at the church and the house. Miss Hill will be given away by her brother, Richard Hill, Jr., and Miss Hattie Hill will be her sister's maid of honor, and little Miss Ruth Hill will be the flower girl. The bridesmaides will be Misses Clotelle Chappelle and Lizzie Allen, who will arrive from Lawrenceville, Va., on the 7th. Mr. Page will have for his best man, Mr. J. O. Battle, and Messrs. D. Wesley Crutcher and Wm. Boger will be the groomsmen. Miss Hazel Thompson will play the wedding march, and will be accompanied by a violinist. A musical program will be rendered before the ceremony. Mrs. H. A. Camron and Mr. Myers will both render solos and there will probably be a quartette composed of Mr. Myers and others. Those who will attend the reception will take Kayne avenue car and side to the end, or take Sprince and Tendale and get off at Fairview avenue. ANOTHER CARBAGE SNAKE. Miss Minnie Mayberry, who resides at 433 Ninth avenue, North, told a representative of the Globe last Sunday that she has in a state of preservation a snake 12 inches long that she took from the inside of a head of cabbage that she was preparing for dinner one day last week. She further stated that the snake will be bown to any one who will call at her residence. She said in the course of conversation: "There are many who do not believe that the cabbage snakes exist, and I believe two years two some one ridiculed the idea and offered a reward for a specimen. that the person was mistaken is evinced by the fact that I have in my house one of the snakes." The representative of the Globe after thorough investigation, firmly believes that Mrs. Mayberry has in captivity a genuine cabbage snake. It is the opinion of residents in the vicinity of 433 Ninth avenue, North, that unless there is a change in the conditions of cabbages that vegetable will be "a drug on the market." HIGH HONOR FOR REV. W. S. ELLINGTON. Nashville's leading and eloquent divine, Rev. W. S. Ellington, who is pastoring the First Baptist Church of this city, has been honored with the degree of Doctor of Divinity. This fact was made known in a letter received in this city June 1. It comes from Selma, Ala., in which city is located the Alabama Baptist Colored University, the largest denominational school in the state of Alabama. The honorary degree is conferred upon Rev. Mr. Ellington by the above-named university, because they believed he was worthy and deserved such honor. The people of Nashville will rejoice, because no one who has visited his church and listened to his eloquent, logical and practical sermons each Sunday, or perused the pages of the many periodicals turned out by the Baptist Publishing Board, of which he is the editorial secretary, can doubt his ability. The honors will undoubtedly be worn by Dr. Ellington with his usual modesty. The university in conferring this degree could not have selected a more worthy minister. The fact of the size of the school and its reputation adds a greater importance. The enrollment of the university this past year numbered over seven hundred pupils. There were more than fifty students in the Theological Department. Rev. Dr. Ellington was asked about the rumor and stated that it was true that he had received a notice from Rev. R. T. Pollard, D. D., President of the university, that such honor had been conferred upon him by the faculty and board of trustees at the commencement exercises held on the 27th ult. He said further that it was a complete surprise to him. He had never visited the institution, and knew absolutely nothing of it or its faculty, save in a general way. He stated that he appreciated the honor and would endeavor to wear it with such modesty as become a minister. Many were the compliments received during the past week, although the matter is only known to a few in this city. MMBERS OF SENIOR CLASS Of Little Rock High School Give Little Rock, Ark., May 27.—One of the largest houses that has been at the Capital theatre for some time attended the "Merchant of Venice," put on there last night by the senior class of the High School of Little Rock, under the direction of Mrs. Carrie L.

The play as acted was a credit to the players and the directress. Those who took part are: Frank Drye, Katie Lane, Alberta Thompson, Franklin Haney, Hernando Spight, Charlie Quarles, Edward Alexander, Anna Prather, Price Watkins, Delia Drummond, Lavinia Brinkley, Ward Fischer, Naomi Burgess, Alice McCain, Pearl Harris, Sadie Johnson, Leila Strayhorne, Odessa Campbell, Laura Edmonson, Jim Weaver, Jessie Barnett, Clio Bradley, Bratice Brownning, Alberta Davis, Hettie Doughas, Ethel Hammond, Laura Martin, Pearl Porter, Aleese Stronga, Hattie Tall, Leanna Tall, Charlotte Thompson, Mabel Wade Weaver and Ellis Wilson.

The classes were all well represented, having from fifteen to thirty scholars. After song service, conducted by Prof. L. S. Gray, the classes recited the lesson for the day, "Jesus Risen from the Dead." The lesson was reviewed before the school by Mr. H. A. Boyd in his usual impressive way. Miss Elnora Beaden, teacher in Knowles School, was one of the visitors in Class No. 16. The secretary read the report for the day, which showed that the school is growing numerically and that financially it is in first-class condition. Benediction was pronounced by Rev. T. J. Lewis. Tuesday night the teachers and officers met for the study of the lesson, "Jesus Appears to the Discibles," for Sunday, June 7. The study was conferred by Mr. Geo. Binkley. After several recommendations for the betterment of the school, benediction was announced by Rev. H. A. Boud. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.

BOYD, Secretary, 23 Second Ave. N. Nashville, Tenn. PLATE 1. PLATE 2. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1908 SPORTING NEWS By Leon. BURNS SAYS HE'LL MEET JOHNSON. Big Purse Offered Them in Nevada— Gans and Nelson Matched for July 4. If the plans of Jack Curley, the Chicago sporting man, and his backers do not miscarry, Tommy Burns, the so-called heavyweight champion, and Jack Johnson will be brought together in a finish battle for the world's title in Nevada on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7. Curley, who only recently returned from the Sagebush State, received a cablegram from Burns at London accepting his terms for a championship fight with Johnson. The message read as follows: "I will accept $35,000 for Labor Day. You know my terms. Jeffries to referee. Neall will post the forfeit. Sign for me." An Associated Press dispatch stated yesterday that Sam Fitzpatrick, manager of Johnson, who is also in England with his protege, had not heard definitely from Curley, but the latter declared last night that he had been in communication with Fitzpatrick and Johnson, and that the terms would be satisfactory to them. Their acceptance is therefore expected daily. Curley has made the big fellow a bona fide offer of a $35,000 purse, and copies of the articles have been forwarded to them. Curley understands that Burns insists on taking $30,000 of this amount, win, lose, or draw, but Jack will take no part in any discussion as to the division of the money. He also understands that Johnson, as the latter has repeatedly stated, will be satisfied to take only the remaining $5,000, in order to get Burns into a ring, and he does not believe there will be any hitch in this regard when they are ready to sign articles. Burns evidently figures that, should Johnson defect him, he will have plenty of money in addition to what he already possesses, to keep him for the rest of his life, while Johnson is looking ahead and believes he can make a fortune, both in the ring and on the stage, if he can whip the Canadian pirate and win the championship. * * * Nelson and Gans Matched. San Francisco, Cal., May 28.—Joe Gans and Battling Nelson have been matched to fight forty-five rounds at Colma on the afternoon of July 4. Jimmy Coffroth, after weeks of angling, got the men together and received their agreements to battle before his club. All of the details of the battle, which, no matter what the outcome, will go down in history as one of the greatest pugillistic battles ever staged, were decided on. There appears to be no loopoole through which either of the great ring masters can escape entering the squared circle on independence Day. The weight, which caused so much trouble when the men battled at Goldfield, will be 133 pounds at the ringside. This is a concession on the part of Nelson as far as their former setto is concerned, for then the Dane, through his wily and persistent manager, forced Gans to make 133 pounds with his ring togs on and do it three times the day of the bout. Gans would stand for no such terms this time and Nelson consented to this angle without any parley. The fighters will receive seventy per cent of the gross receipts of the show, sixty percent of which will go to the winner. Jack Welch, of this city, has been agreed upon as ref * * * Manager Boyd, of the Baptist team, was in the office of The Nashville Globe a few minutes this week. He was asked by the sporting editor what kind of a team he had, and the following was poured forth: "I have the best lot of players that ever represented the Baptist Publishing House; therefore, I am ready and willing to play any team throughout these Southlands." We are glad to learn of one team of of first-class ball-players in the city. Manager Boyd, right here, let me tell you that if you want the people of Nashville and surrounding hamlets to know with whom you play, when you play and where you play, you must advertise in the columns of The Nashville Globe.

The house was decorated with potted plants and early spring owers. The color-scheme for the evening was pink, which prevailed throughout the menu. On the dining table lay a real battenbury cover over pink with a cluster of pink roses in a tall vase in the center. A beautiful golden basket containing clusters of pink roses was very attractive also in the parlor. This was the last club meeting of the year. Both members and guests were loud in their words of praise for the close of a successful club year. More real good has been accomplished this year than ever before, for aside from the enjoyment each member has gotten out of the club, an effort has been made towards making others better and happier. At the first meeting of the year the club decided to help the Day Home, and since October 17, 1907, has contributed $10.00 towards the maintaining the Home. At the last meeting the club placed in the hands of its secretary $5 to make monthly payments for the summer months, beginning with June. So while the club enjoys its vacation (for it will not have another meeting until October) it insults the hope that its small monthly payments may continue to fill their mission, thereby making the good of the club materially felt during the entire year. An excellent program was rendered at the last meeting as follows: Vocal solo by Mrs. H. A. Cameron, "Love me and the world is mine," Mrs. Bostie, the Journalist, proved her efficiency even to the last meeting. Her clippings were fine on the care of ladies' silks and veils. Those who responded were Mrs. E. W. D. Isaac, Mrs. J. T. Shelby, Dr. Townsend, Dr. and Mrs. I. H. Hampton, Mrs. Hampton, who is matron of Roger Williams University, made a most excellent speech on "Roger Williams" and urged all to join hands in the rebuilding of this grand old school regardless of denomination and thereby add another 'laurel to the race; for should the rebuilding prove a failure, the race will feel it as a whole. At this point the ladies were ushred into the dining-room and here they found dainty afternoon refreshments in three courses awaiting them which were highly enjoyed. Late in the evening the ladies bade each other and the hostess good-bye to meet again at the call of the president in October, 1908. CHURCH DEDICATED: Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., dedicated the Cherry Grove Baptist Church, located about six miles from Murfreesboro, on Sunday, May 31. Rev. T. A. Brown is the pastor. The Cherry Grove Baptist Church is perhaps the prettiest church in Rutherford County. The people are to be congratulated upon their purchasing and paying for a lot of three acres, and erecting thereon a beautiful frame church at a cost of nearly $1,100. It was dedicated Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Brown is an excellent pastor and his denomination has great cause to be proud of him. The congregation was very large and appeared to be very proud of their work. Special to Men $16 and $18 $9.85 MEN'S Suits Every Man can be well dressed at very small cost.
