ATTENDANCE.
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the first service of the Grand Lodge of the Free and Accepted Masons of the state of Tennessee will be held at St. John
A. M. E. Church, on the Corner of Eighth avenue, North and Cedar St. The Knights Templar will have a sermon by Sir E. W. S. Hammond. Rt.
Eminent Grand Commander Austin
W. Williams, 33 degree Master of ceremony. The I. O. I. Band will head the procession. The Templars Commanderies will escort the Grand Lodge.
On Monday the delegates and members of the Order in this city will have a parade and outing. The procession will form at Odd Fellows' Hall, 447 4th Avenue, North, at 10 o'clock a.m. and under the command of Sir Richard A. Ewin, Marshal of the day, will march over the following line of march, to wit:
Fourth avenue, North, south to Deadrick street, Fifth avenue, North, thence south on Fifth avenue, North to Ash street to Second avenue. South, thence East on Lindsley avenue to the vehicles that will be in readiness to convey all in line to Greenwood Park, where fun and mirth will reign in high carnival.
Tuesday morning the Grand Lodge will get down to business, and from then until the adjournment the delegates will be kept busy attending to the affairs entrusted to them by their Constituents. Prof. J. A. Henry, Grand Master of the state, is a wide awake business man, and the members of the order never think of doing other than re-electing him by acclamation. What is true of him is true of many of the other officers, in fact, most of them, two of whom are located in this city: namely, Prof. W. S. Thompson, Grand Secretary, and Mr. W. H. Highower, Grand Treasurer. This session of the lodge was moved from Pulaski here on account of the lynching that occurred in that town recently, the officers not deeming it safe to carrying the delegates there. Some of the most substantial business and professional men throughout the state are delegates to the meeting, and Nashville may well congratulate herself upon having a record that guarantees safety to visitors to the extent that a state organization selects this city without hesitation, and to the Widows and Orphans home is located here and would naturally be an inducement to all the members to come to Nashville
The following committees will look after the comfort of the visitors during their stay in the capitol city:
Arrangements—A. B. Carter, L. H. Rogan, 32 degree, Chas. Maxwell, 32 degree, Pryor Williams and Mesdames W. T. Hightower, Lula Johnson, Allen, Campbell, J. C. Scott and E. Cloud, Entertainment—Thos.

TENNESSEE BAPTISTS HERE IN JULY.
Program for the Twenty-first Anniversary of the Missionary Baptist of Tennessee Dis.
Things are beginning to look rather bright for the coming Tennessee Missionary Baptist Educational Convention, which convenes in its twenty-first anniversary with the Spruce Street Baptist Church in this city, on Wednesday, July 22. It is this religious organization under whose auspices Roger Williams University is being run. All of the thirty-five organized Baptist churches in the city of Nashville, with their pastors, will be called upon to provide entertainment for the hundreds of delegates that will come to Nashville from every state and crossroad in the state of Tennessee. Aside from the regular delegates, there will be visitors from many parts of Tennessee as well as fraternity delegates from other states. There will be many of national reputation in attendance, and the fact that Nashville is looked upon as Baptist headquarters will add some importance to the Tennessee State meeting. The elaborate program that has been prepared would indicate a better, more important and more largely attended session. The officers of the state convention reside in Nashville. The watchword from now until the convention closes among all of the Baptists will be $10,000. Rev. Wm. Haynes, the president of the convention, has passed this word down the line. He proposes to raise this amount and the whole sum is to be turned into several channels, as it is the purpose of the president, who is also financial agent for Roger Williams University, to lay the corner-stone of a $20,000 dormitory on the University grounds. A special appeal is being sent out asking 50 churches to donate $50.00 each, 100 churches to give $25.00 each, 50 individuals and 100 individuals to donate $10.00 each. If this plan is carried out the Convention will raise the amount of money agreed upon. Secretary Rev. E. M. Lawrence, who is also Superintendent of Missions of the State, has sent a circular letter and a program to all the Baptist churches and Baptist workers through the State. If they succeed in raising this amount of money, they will build in the city of Nashville on the present site of Roger Williams University the most magnificent school building Nashville has ever had, and thus alone under the auspices of the Negro Baptists of the state will add enthusiasm and inspiration hitherto unknown. It is calculated to bestir the Negro of the state of Tennessee, as this state has done practically nothing along educational lines. They have been criticized by every state for their lethargy, but will no doubt redeem themselves during the month of July.

BRILLIANT NUP- TIAL GEREMONY
AT ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH WENESDAY EVENING.
MISS LILLIAN BURTON HILL AND MR. EUGENE TURNER PAGE JOINED IN HOLY WEDLOCK LARGE CONCOURSE OF FRIENDS IN ATTENDANCE CHURCH PROFUSELY DECORATED — SWEET MUSIC FURNISHED-RECEPTION TENDERED AT HOME OF BRIDE'S PARENTS—MANY PRESENTS RECEIVED, ATTESTING THE POPULARITY OF THE BRILLIANT YOUNG COUPLE.
Before a gathering containing between 1200 and 1500 fashionably attired spectators, the Hill-Page nuptials were celebrated Wednesday evening at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Long before the hour set for the beginning of the ceremony every seat in the large auditorium was taken, and when the bridal party arrived it was with difficulty that a space was cleared for their entrance.
About half an hour before the arrival of the party a musical program was begun. This consisted of three vocal solos: "I Love You So," by Mrs. H. A. Cameron; "Call Me Thine Own," by Miss Willie Nichols; and "So Holy, Sweet and Fair," by Mr. James A. Myers, of Fisk University.
All of these numbers were well rendered and found favor with the expectant auditors.
Shortly before the wedding party arrived, the members of the Algonquin Club not participating in the wedding ceremony, marched into the church in a body to do honor to the groom, who had served them so long as their president. Their appearance attracted considerable notice.
Shortly after six o'clock the wedding party made its appearance. It presented a magnificent sight as the carriages rolled up to the church with each driver attired in white and white ribbons streaming from the whips. The ceremony was begun almost immediately following the arrival of the bridal party by Miss Hazel Thompson playing as the wedding march, the Bridal chorus from Lohengrin.
The wedding march moved down the right aisle of the church, being led by the ushers, Messrs. Arthur G. Price and Eugene Price. These were followed by the other ushers, Messrs. Ernest Carney and Randal Hardimon. The first bridal couple was Miss Clotelle D. Chappelle, escorted by Mr. D. Wesley Crutcher. Following these came, Miss Lillian D. Allen and Mr. William Boger. The groom, Mr. E. L. Page, was the next to enter, accompanied by his best man, Mr. J. O. Battle. Following the groom and his best man, Miss Hattie Hill, the eldest sister of the bride, entered unescorted. She in turn was followed by little Miss Ruth
Hill, the youngest sister of the bride, who was the flower girl. She carried in her hands a basket containing pink and white carnations, the same flowers as were the boquets of the other attendants.
The next to enter was the bride and she presented a beautiful picture as she marched down the aisle leaning slightly upon the arm of her brother, Mr. Richard Hill, Jr. The bride wore an Empire gown of imported chiffon cloth, over silver taffeta, trimmed with bands of Messlin silk, point lace and seed pearls. Her only ornament was a pearl necklace, an heirloom of the Hill family. Her veil was gracefully covered with Lilies of the Valley and she carried a boquet composed of Bride roses and Lilies of the Valley.
As the bride entered, a male quartette from Fisk University, composed of Messrs. Wm. Merrill, James A. Myers, Alfred King and N. W. Ryder, sang the Welcome to the Bride, from the Bridal Chorus of Lohengrin.
The bridal party assembled in front of chancel behind which was the Rt. Rev. Evans Tyree, bishop of the A. M. E. Church. Immediately behind Bishop Tyree was a mass of potted plants which, acting as a foil, brought the whole bridal party in high relief. Bishop Tyree, attired in his robe of office, read very impressively the ceremony prescribed by the A. M. E. Church, and at the conclusion of the prayer, the maid of honor raised the veil of the bride. The benediction was sung by the male quartette mentioned above, assisted by Mrs. James A. Myers.
The party retired from the church to the strains of Mendelssohns Wedding March in the following order: Maid of honor, flower girl, bride and groom, Mr. Boger and Miss Allen, Mr. Crutcher and Miss Chappelle, Mr. Battle and Mr. Hill and the ushers in the order in which they came in.
The bridal party, accompanied by a host of friends, who were in vehicles, went directly to the residence of the bride's father, where the reception was held.
The attendents to the bride were all very beautifully attired in lingerie frocks with pink girdles with the exception of the maid of honor whose girdle was white. The flower-girl appeared very sweetly attired in a long waisted frock, tan shoes and white socks. The gentleman attendants were attired, as was the groom, in the conventional dress suits with white vests, silk hats and each wore upon the lapel of his coat a white carnation. At the home of the bride's father and mother, it seemed that the bridal party could scarcely reach the parlor before the whole house was crowded with friends anxious to congratulate the newly wedded pair. For several hours they were compelled to respond while ices were served to all present. The list of presents was an extremely long one and many very beautiful as well as useful articles were received. The collection of silver presents was indeed a large one and very many fine specimens of this ware were included. Likewise the collection contained a large number of cut glass articles. The next largest collection was of crockery.
The bride is the eldest daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Richard Hill, and possesses a host of friends won by her kindliness of heart and pleasant disposition. For quite a while she was connected with the A. M. E. Church Sunday School Union, where she filled the position of bookkeeper.
Mr. Eugene T. Page is the only son of Mrs. Sophia Page. He is a young man of sterling qualities. Mr. Page, who is a graduate of Fisk, taught in the schools of Nashville, but resigned to enter the local post-office as a clerk. Quite recently he was, by his request, transferred to the Railway Mail Service. Mr. and Mrs. Page will occupy their home on Fourteenth avenue, N.
REV. PURDY'S INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
A sight that attracts the attention of every passerby is the children from the reform school instituted by Rev. J. E. Purdy. The children, who in most cases are boys starting on the downward road and have been taken in by Rev. Purdy, are dressed in becoming uniform, and march through the streets keeping time to the drums beat by other students. They carry banners, some of which bear such in scriptions as HELP US TO BE GOOD. Dr. Purdy is doing a noble work and should have the encouragement of every charitably inclined person in the city. It has long been a problem or how to save the criminally inclined youth since the state has no reformatory. Dr. Purdy is doing much to solve the problem. He has the endorsement of such men as Mayor Brown, ex-Mayor Williams and hundreds of others.
MR. THOMAS J. CARUTHERS ACCEPTED POSITION.
ALUMNUS OF AMHERST COLLEGE—WORTHY TRIBUTE PAID BY STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION — LARGEST TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NEGROES IN THAT STATE—ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATIONS MADE BY STATE LEGISLATURE — BRILLIANT REPRESENTATIVE OF TENNESSEE—MR. CARUTHERS NEPHEW OF MR. AND MRS. CARTWRIGHT, OF PATTerson STREET.
The election of Prof. J. Thomas Caruthers as principal of Manual Training and Industrial School at Bordentown, N. J., last week, is another high honor conferred upon one of Tennessee's worthy sons. Mr. Caruthers is a nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Cartwright, of 1718 Patterson street, and son of Mrs. P. G. Poindexter, of Madisonville, Ky. He is a Tennessean, having been born and reared at Columbia. Immediately after finishing at Amherst College with the class of '07, he accepted a position at the Bordentown school and was given charge of the Agricultural Department. His first year's work had just been completed. After seeing how thoroughly he organized the agricultural work of the school within one year, placing it upon a higher standard than ever before, it seems that the State Board of Education had found the man they were looking for—a young man capable of performing the great work to be done, and they at once offered him the principalship of the school. This is the largest training school for Negroes in New Jersey, and one of the best in the East. The State legislature has made additional appropriations for the school each term and several new buildings are now in course of erection. The school is not a new one by any means, but there seems to have been a desire on the part of the Board to get a practical man at the head. The fact that the new principal has had thorough training in a school that stands high along this line of work, and his excellent record, had a great deal to do with his appointment. Although a young man still in his twenties, he has the brains, push and ambition to go forward.
That Prof. Caruthers will prove himself, and thoroughly represent the talent and worth of the sons of "Sunny Tennessee," there is no doubt. His friends in Nashville, as well as Columbia, rejoice at this deserving promotion and wish for him all the honors that New Jersey can put upon his worthy shoulders.
While the election and promotion of Prof. Caruthers to this comfortable berth and prominent position attests the worthiness of the Negro to fill such a position, it also shows how little interest the state of Tennessee has in the education of its youth in any particular line. The state of New Jersey has not one fifth of the Negro population that the state of Tennessee has. They have not provided for them in any particular school. It is estimated that the state of New Jersey spends about $20,000 annually in this school alone, aside from the other appropriations they are making. In this way the Negro boys of New Jersey are receiving direct benefits from the bequests and from the various funds, including the Morrill Fund, for taking agricultural and mechanical training.
The announcement made some time ago that there would be established a branch of an A. & M. school for the Negro in West Tennessee, started a force to work with the intention of getting the school located in Nashville, where it rightly belongs. It ought to be located in the middle of the state since there is no agricultural and mechanical school in the state, and since the legislature is not providing for any appropriations or dividing that part that is received from the United States government. New Jersey is to be complimented for the great work she is doing for the education of the Negro youth.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1998.
COMB.
To the Globe:
Please allow me space to publish 2
few statements about the Eureka Elec
trie Brass Comb, which has had such a
poor sale in this city.
Tam surprised to know that so
sults from the use of it if properly
used. This comb was patented May
21, 1907. This date is printed on the
wooden handle of each one that is
sent out for sale. Now, if you have
‘not this comb, you have not the
‘Eureka Brass Electric Comb. So you
have been deceived in buying some
other comb which is not the real elec-
tric, This comb is to do away with
the straightening tongs and other
iron articles that ruin and destroy the
growth of hair on old and young
people. So mothers should see that
their daughters’ hair should be treat-
ed with the best articles of hair toil-
et on the market, and not allow them
to burn off their hair with that erro-
neous habit. The electric comb
dresses the hair very nicely for both
kinds.
One whose hair needs no improve-
ment in growing will find a need
for this article in dressing the hair
for puffs, curls, ete. It makes the
hair stay in place and gives it a more
brilliant lustre. “It will puff and
fluff your thin straight hair that lies
so close to the scalp, loosen it up and
make it look lively. It can be usad
warm or cold in preparing the hair
for growing.
Will the comb make the hair grow?
Yes, it will in a certain way.
The scalp must be kept free from
many refused to buy this latest im-
proved hair toilet. I suppose the rea-
son for their not buying was the
high price they sold for. This comb
is the latest and the most improved
hair instrument that has ever been
invented. It is the only electric
comb that has been sold in this city.
It has no equal in dressing and
zrowing hair. The manufacturer has|
a guarantee on it that no injury re-|
Jandruft and other scalp diseases,
washing it often, and with the use
cf a good hair-growing’ pomade and|
lonie it will help to grow the hair by |
keeping it loose and soft, open and}
straight at the roots, allowing the ox-|
ygen to circulate freely, which is very|
essential for the growth of all things.
It is now being discussed that the|
application of electricity in a certain |
way will make the hair grow. |
This comb is made of copper and
brass, and through the agency of
these two metals and other appli-
ances, electricity is conveyed.
This comb is harmless, and one
need not be afraid, as it neither cuts
nor burns, unless too hot. Children
can use it nicely, as it can be heated
juickly over the top of a lamp chim-|
ney or gas. Useful for drying hair |
after a shampoo, Will not leave the
hair looking bad should you not use
it as often as the tongs Now, la-
lies, you who are planning to go off
on a summer's vacation, there is |
nothing better to carry with you in |
your hand bag than an_ electric}
lresser and a little alcoholic lamp,
or at your boarding place you can
use the ordinary lamp or gas and}
will not have to so down in the|
kitchen to bother the landlady about|
neating your instruments for dressing |
your hair.’ Ladies who have thick |
suits of hair, causing headache, by|
using this comb once or twice a!
week, it will lessen that burden|
pressing upon the brain by making]
(he hair light and fluffy |

SHELBYVILLE NOTES.
Shelbyville has been the scene of
much activity for the past four
weeks, on account of the closing ex-
ercises of the city public school and
the commencement at Turner Nor-
mal. The public school beld its ex-
ereises at the Mt. Zion Baptist
Chureh and the County Court House.
Prof. Tally, of Fisk University, spoke
at the court house. The room was
filled to its utmost capacity.
Probably the greatest event of the
season was the cantata, “Jephthah’s
Daughter,” rendered by the students
of Turner Normal at the City Opera
Honse, Monday night, June 1, About
forty persons engaged in the play.
A large mixed audience witnessed the
cantata.
The closing of Turner Normal in
this town makes times seem quite
dull for a time,
The town was filled with strangers
last week from all over the state, at-
tending the commencement of Turner
Normal, Among those present were
Mesdames C, H. Jordan and Anna M.
Bifford, of Mt. Pleasant; the Misses
Battle, of Nashville; Miss Cornelia
Gossett, of Waverly; Misses Katie
Hall and Sarah Todd, of Fayetteville.
Miss Mand BE. Brookins, of Turner
Normal, is spending a few days in
Nashville since the close of school.
Miss Mattie L. Barr, the precep-
tress at Turner, is visiting friends in
the city prior to leaving tur her home
at Waverly.
‘The’ County Teachers’ Institute is
‘in session this week, Unusual inter-
‘est is being manifested.
It is reported that additional build-
ings will be erected on the campus of
Turner Normal this summer, Dr. J.
A. Jones, the president, seems elated
at the great success that hus attended
lis labors this year. He will begin
his lecture tour soon, ia che interest
of the college. The Trustees at their
recent meeting voted to change the
name of the school to “Turner Nor-
mal College.”
Mrs. F. W. Gardner, of Clarksville,
‘was among the visitors recently.
‘She came to witness the graduation
of her son at Turner College, he being
‘the valedictorian of the ciass.
GREENWOOD PARK ON THE
BOOM.
During the hot summer months
there.are few if any who do not at
some time have a desire to get away
from the hurry and bustle of the city
and spend a few hours’ quietude.
The majority of the people have not
the time nor the means to go to the
resorts that are kept for (he benefit of
pleasure-seekers. They must leave
their homes in the afternoons and be
back by time the hour arrives that
beckons all to retire for the night.
It is for. this vast majority that mu-
nicipalities and public spirited men
seek out suitable localities for
parks. As a rule the more favored
races fare best in this respect, but
whether the Negroes of Nashville
can be classed as “less favored” or
otherwise it goes without saying that
they have the best pars In this city,
It excels in natural scenery, and also
in beauty of arrangement. The at-
tractions are all that can be wished
as it is today, but the management
is not stopping to say well enough,
but is adding new and attractive fea.
tures of the day. The pavilion will
soon be completed, which will be an-
other great step in the preparations
that are outlined by the park man-
agement for the comfort and ‘hap-
piness of the forty thousand Negroes
of this city. Ail of the citizens of
Nashville and vicinity are proud of
Greenwood Park.
PROGRESSIVE BUSINES:
MAN.
‘The man who gives his business
daily study, careful personal atten-
tion never wants for business. About
nine months ago the business com-
munity was surprised to learn that
a new man would enter the arena,
where there was little hope for suc-
cess.
When his doors were opened the
quality of the business was so far
ahead of what was supposed unap-
proachable competition that the peo-
ple stood aghast and wondered where
did he get the nerve, where did he
get the capital to open such a busi-
ness. All sorts of prophecies were
made. Some that he would succeed,
some that he would not, for “how can
the people pay for such fine things?”
the doubting Thomases would say.
The more adventurous gave him a
trial and more astonisument came;
for while the service was so far
ahead of anything witnessed about
here, the price was no higher and
then the eyes of the people were
opened and it is no longer a question
of success, but the people are won-
dering “what next?”
Several hundred have been asking,
“What is Undertaker Johnson going
to do with those beautiful little snow-
white horses?”
A few weeks ago, after searching
far and near, a span of pure white
‘Arabian horses of diminutive size
‘were brought back to Nashville with
bin. Blue eyes, pinkish skin, long,
fowing manes and tails, are qualities
which make them both scarce and
uae As a sequel there arrived
in Nashville Tuesday morning the
‘most beautiful, snowy white baby
hearse; just the most beautiful and
harmonious outfit in this entire coun-
‘try—nothing like it anywhere,
- While a crowd of admiring friends
‘were commenting upon the novelty
of the idea, the originality of its es-
-cuteheon, a leading citizen remarked
“Well, I declare! That is the
‘swellest thing [I ever saw. What
next? Is there anything else to be
added to that business? There are
baby horses and a baby hearse. |
|/never heard of such a thing, Thai
“man knows. his business.”
Mr. Johnson believes in harmony
\ hearse that is used tor a growr
person is a makeshift to use for ¢
child. It is like putting a woman's
dress on a girl, long pants on a boy
|One is as appropriate as another.
| There is not another undertaker it
America who puts so much interest
capital, energy and brain in his on
ingle business.

THE PENDULUM.
Has the pendulum swung to its furtherest point outward in the rule of the demagogues who ride into political office on the race issue? Is the South awakening to the fact that something should be demanded of her statesmen other than "cussing" the Negro and the railroads? It would seem so from recent events.
The pendulum began its outward swing when Ben Tillman made his appearance in South Carolina politics way back in the eighties. Some of those to ride into office were such men as Arthur Pue Gorman, James K. Vardaman, Jefferies Davis and Hoke Smith. These men played the race issue with all of their might and secured political preferment.
But at last it seems the pendulum has begun to swing the other way. Gorman is dead. Vardaman was defeated for the Senate by John Sharp Williams. Jeff Davis was repudiated by his state when it refused to send him to Denver as a delegate to the National Democratic Convention. Now Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has been defeated for a re-nomination as Governor by Joe Brown, a man whose candidacy was at first considered a huge joke by the Georgia politicians. The one remaining radical who has received no political reverses—if we except Heflin, of Alabama, who is under indictment in the District of Columbia—is Ben Tillman, and he is an invalid.
These signs of the South's returning to the fold of conservatism are to be welcomed. It is to be hoped that as the pendulum swings back, if it is really on its way back, that it will knock into oblivion all those men who have used as their chief political asset their ability to stir up hatred between the races.
OUR NOBLE CHIEF.
Our noble Chief of Police has become a hero! Single-handed he went into a restaurant in a Northern city and knocked down an impudent Negro! He got his picture in the newspapers, a lot of free advertising and doubtless comes back to Nashville with such a hold upon the affections of some people of the city that all the civil service boards of the state, not to mention a little board like the one headed by Mayor Brown, can remove him from office.
Chief Curran is a hero possibly in the minds of those who are ready to dub any man a hero that assaults a Negro. But we can but believe that the better element of the white South must take a far different view of the
act, if it ever occurred, as outlined in the daily newspapers. The better element of the whites, those men who boast of the chivalrous actions of the Southern gentleman, are aware that Chief Curran violated the law of the city of which he was a guest and they must hang their heads with shame when they think of the incident. It certainly adds no laurels to the South that a man from this section should be guilty of assault and battery in a Northern city simply because the customs that obtain are different from those in Tennessee. The better element recognize these differences in customs and if they can not adapt themselves to the customs, they so arrange things that they may not come in conflict with them.
HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
Would it not be a wise course for those who have in charge the graduating exercises of the Pearl High School to take into consideration the wishes and the comfort of those who attend these exercises? Besides being rather uncomfortable to be packed in the Auditorium on a warm night, few of the vast audience could hear anything that was said by the Principal of Pearl High School or the President of the Board of Education.
Doubtless both of the speeches possessed great merit, but few persons heard them. The majority of the audience did not want to hear them, because they came to see and hear the children of Pearl High School. They hold that the many good things said on the last night should be drilled into the students during the three years they are in the High School, so that it would not be necessary to keep them standing for an hour or more before receiving their diplomas.
This may be the wrong view, but is one very widely concurred in, as was shown by the general buzz that greeted the speakers, and it should command the attention of Prof. Smith and Dr. Lees when they prepare for the exercises next year.
The Taft supporters, it would seem, are in complete control of the National Republican Committee and are running things to suit themselves. The only question considered in deciding a contest seems to be whether the contestees be for or against Mr. Taft. The Committee is very high-handed in its actions, and its ruthless disregard of the questions of right in many of the contests is liable to create a factionalism that will be felt in the coming election. The committee's endorsement of "lily-whiteism," if approved by the Committee on Credentials, will doubtless cause a large number of Negro voters in the doubtful states to stay at home on election day, if not to come out in active opposition. To secure a nomination by federal office-holder-lily-white-bosses is one thing, but to secure an election after such a nomination is quite different.
All eyes are on Chicago. The Sixth Congressional district seems to be of great interest to the Committee appointed delegates. The "I won't hear you one minute" representatives from this district got on the grounds early and are fighting for their political lives and federal offices.
Mayor Brown should certainly intimate to the police department at his earliest convenience that women must not be allowed to violate the law by loafing in the low saloons of certain sections of the city. Break it up, Mr. Mayor.
If Governor Patterson will but finish the job Senator Taylor began in burying E. W. Carmack, he will be entitled to paeans of praise from all the conservatives of the South.
About this time it is interesting to watch the grafters posing as race leaders, flop over to the side where they think the most coin is. Some of them got next several months ago.
ALPHABET IN BIBLE VERSE.
In the twenty-first verse of the seventh chapter of Ezra can be found every letter of the English alphabet. It runs thus: "And I, even I, Artaxerxes the King, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond
the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily."
But, still more wonderful, in the eighth verse of the third chapter of Zephaniah is contained every letter, including finals of the Hebrew language.

HOW A CAT CAUGHT TWO RATS
I once had a cat who did a rather remarkable ratting feat. He stalked two young rats on the eaves of a low flat stable roof, and caught one in the usual way. The other jumped on to an elderberry tree just below. Bob, however, not satisfied with the one, grasped it firmly in his mouth, and then jumped headlong for the other. Either he was very lucky or extraordinarily agile, for he fell to the ground with one rat still in his mouth and the other in his paws, and promptly killed them both.
BREAKFAST FOR BRIDAL PARTY
BREAKFAST FOR BRIDAL PARTY.
A very pretty affair in all its appointments was the breakfast served by Prof. and Mrs. Richard Hill to those who composed the immediate bridal party in the Hill-Page wedding. The breakfast was served at the beautiful home of Prof. Hill on Fairview avenue Sunday morning at eleven o'clock.
The table in the delightful dining-room was very tastefully decorated, the color scheme being that used in the Wedding of Wednesday evening.
At each plate was a heart-shaped place-card, depicting scenes from a marriage, daintily punctured by white ribbon.
The breakfast, which was served in courses, contained all of the delicacies of the season. Later in the dayices were served upon the spacious veranda. In these as in the decorations of the cake the color scheme was maintained. Those present as guests of the occasion were Misses Lillian Hill, Hattie Hill, Lillian Dean Allen, Clotelle D. Chappelle, Hazel Thompson, Messrs. Eugene T. Page, J. O. Battle, D. Wesley Crutcher, Wm. D. Boger, Talbert Hill.
H. T. G. M. CLUB.
The H. T. G. M. Club met Saturday, May 30, at the home of Misses Mollie, Elnora and Esther Berry. The early part of the evening was spent in playing progressive whist. The first prize, a novelty bon-hon basket, was won by Miss Alberta K. Davis on a cut with Miss Georgia A. Bradford. Miss Lillian A. Bright received the consolation, a set of beauty pins. A dainty menu of two courses was served. The visitors were Miss J. L. Smith, of St. Paul, Minn., and Miss Anna E. Dawson, of Cleveland, Ohio. The members retired for business.
The following officers were elected: Miss Lilla E. Badger, President; Miss Lillian A. Bright, Vice President; Miss Esther J. Pinkard, Secretary; Miss Fannie M. Banks, Assistant Secretary; Miss Minnie M. Hunter, Treasurer; Miss Carrie M. Bryant, Reporter.
In a call meeting Tuesday, June 9, arrangements were completed for a picnic on the lawn of the nome of Dr. Josie E. Wells, Friday evening, June 12. A very enjoyable evening is anticipated.
MR. DOUGLASS LEAVES FOR ST. LOUIS.
Mr. J. L. Douglass, of 205 Third avenue, South, left last Thursday night for St. Louis on business pertaining to the National Primitive Baptist Convention, which will hold its second annual session in this city in July, beginning on the 15th and continuing until the 21st. Mr. Douglass is one of the leading spirits in the development of the National Primitive Baptist Convention. He is the Chairman of the local committee of arrangements, and is putting forth strenuous efforts to have everything in readiness for the opening at McNairy Hill Primitive Baptist Church. Mr. Douglass was present at the organization of the original United Primitive Baptist Big Harpeth Association in Franklin, Tenn., in 1866, and has been an active member of his church since that day. He is one of the substantial citizens of this city, having been engaged in the stone contracting business for many years. He stands high in his church, the community and throughout the State as a man of strong character.
SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH
NOTES.

Rev. G. B. Taylor, pastor. was at his best. His sermons were practical and powerful.
Rev. E. W. D. Isaac was with us at 3 p. m. and assisted in administering the Lord's Supper. His presence was an inspiration and help to all present. Children's Day will be observed with an excellent programme. Parents and friends are cordially invited to be present.
COMMENÇEMENT SEASON, TURN-
ER NORMAL, SHELBYVILLE.
BEGINNING WITH May 26th, and ending June 5th, Shelbyville has just witnessed probably the greatest event in the closing exercises of Turner Normal Institute that ever took place in this town. Antedating Commencement week proper, the students engaged in two dramas on Tuesday and Thursday nights, titled, "The New Woman," and "Not a Man in the House," respectively. The exhibition of the primary and intermediate grades took place Thursday, May 27th.
The cantata, "Jephtahh's Daughter," was render at the City Opera House. This was considered the greatest event of a literary and musical nature that ever took place among colored people in this city. It was the first time that colored people had ever been accorded the use of that place of amusement. The auditorium was filled with the best people of Shelbyville, white and colored—the two races occupying each one-half of the first floor. Miss Maud E. Brookins, the music teacher in T. N. I., was pianist and musical director. The star actress was Miss Mattie Campbell, representing Iphigenia, Jephtahah's Daughter. Mr. Hurbert Cowan acted the part of Jephtahh. Miss Madge Boddie took the house by storm singing a baritone solo, "The Ocean Wave," and responded to an encore.
Rev. R. B. Brookins, of Memphis, preached the baccalaureate sermon Sunday morning at the college chapel. One of the most brilliant features of the season was the oratorical and elocutionary contest for gold medals Tuesday night. The prize winners were Miss Gussie Daily and Mr. T. J. Ryalls, gold medals; and Miss Ethel Fritz, gold cross, and Mr. Willie Stanfield, silver cup. These annual prize contests usually cut quit a figure in T. N. I's commencements.
The Alumni was addressed on Wednesday night by Rev. W. H. Shelby, of Waverly.
The graduating exercises of the English class took place Thursday night, when twenty-five persons received diplomas. The following representatives appeared on the program: Eva Z. Thompson, salutatory; Leoda Morris, class historian; Willie Mai Stewart, class poet; valedictory, Frank W. Gardner, Rev. F. W. Gardner, of Clarksville, delivered the baccalaureate address.
Friday was Commencement day. Two young men, Mr. James A. Moore and Mrs. J. R. Williams received diplomas from the Normal department. Dr. T. W. Haigler, of Nashville, addressed the class.

MR. S. F. WILLIAMS.
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,

IN MEMORIAM.
Miss Leanna Ransom.
She saw the hand we did not see,
Which beckoned her away;
She heard a voice we did not hear,
Which told her not to stay.
It pleased Almighty God in his wisdom and power to remove from us one of our fellow-students, who departed this life Friday, June 5, in full triumph of faith. She conquered death and has gone to her Maker. It is true as soon as we begin to live we begin to die. She will no more glean in the field of Boaz. She is standing at the beautiful gate waiting and watching for us. She had been sick but a very short while. She has crossed the river.
A FRIEND.

MOUND BAYOU OIL MILL.
The incorporators of the Mound Bayou Oil Mill & Mfg. Co. met on May 29, and organized under the charter granted by the State of Mississippi by electing a board of directors, and a set of officers to serve for one year.
The busiest place in Mound Bayou is the office of the Mound Bayou Oil Mill & Mfg. Co. The office force is "hard at it from morn until night," and it seems that the colored people from all over the country have just begun to take stock in the enterprise.
During the meeting of the directors on May 29, a committee was appointed to select and secure a site for the plant, secure plans and specifications, and contract for building. This committee has already gotten down to business, and we expect to hear the ringing of the saws and hammers, in the very near future. Just think of it, a hundred thousand dollar enterprise, owned and controlled by Negroes, and this plant located in a Negro town—Mound Bavon, Miss.
Negroes from all over the country may take stock in the enterprise, and the shares are still one dollar each. Persons may take as many shares as they care to.
The stock certificates are tastily designed and are large enough to be framed, which would add to the beauty of any home or office. Stock certificates are being mailed out daily to those who have already taken stock. Any information may be promptly bad by addressing the Secretary, A.
RETRIBUTION
Special to the Nashville Globe.
Athens, Ala., June 10.—Retribution has overtaken N. J. Tribble, white, who several years ago murdered without justification. a young colored man, — David. He was convicted and
25 Cents.
sent to the penitentiary for the crime, but did not serve out his time. Tribble, it is said, was a dangerous man and a menace to the community. Having been taken to task by his partner in business, J. M. Callahan, for the disappearance of money of which, it seems he was suspected of taking, Tribble grew furious and invited his partner to the back yard of their business place and grabbing a bar of iron, it is said, showed that he meant to use it with deadly intent. But his antagonist was too swift for him and with a quickly drawn revolver fired five times with unerring aim and deadly effect, and Tribble went to his account by the pistol route, as did his innocent victim some years ago.
ST. ELI BAPTIST CHURCH.
Rev. G. Thompson, the pastor, could not fill the pulpit Sunday at 11 o'clock service as customary, on account of having to return Sunday morning to Spring Hill to attend the funeral of Mrs. Mitt Sanders, the mother of his church. She was a faithful, and dutiful member and worker.
The delegates from each department of the church to the National Convention are as follows: Women's Auxiliary, Mrs. M. E. Walton; P. A. Association, Mrs. Mary L. Black; Sunday-school, Miss Maggie Black; Bible Band, Mrs. Fannie Rucker; Young People's V. B., Mr. Sam Douglas; Church, Deacon Thos. James.
Bible Band met in regular session at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon.

On last Monday morning a Globe reporter called in to see Mr. Ira T. Bryant, who was recently elected secretary-treasurer of the Sunday School Union Publishing House of the A. M. E. Church. Mr. Bryant was busy as usual, but had a few minutes to spare the reporter. He talked freely of business matters and expressed high hopes for the future success of the concern.

Machines were clean and running smoothly; book cases, shelves and counters were all in proper order; paper stock and printed sheets straight and clean; in the bindery department books, magazines and papers were being bound and stacked in systematic style; in the composing room stones cleared and forms artistically laid thereon, type, furniture, chases, galleys, trucks, slugs, leads, cuts, etc., all in their proper places.

busy doing something, and going about their duties in orderly style.
Mr. Bryant said he was getting things before him, and in a few months hoped to have everything in pretty fair shape. He took charge right at the beginning of a quarter, which makes the work very heavy, but with the trained force he has anticipated everything to go along smoothly. Some of the employees have been connected with the institution for over fifteen years, and understand the general routine of the mail order part of the business thoroughly. He said some slight changes would have to be made, especially as to the method of running the manufacturing departments. When asked if he thought the business would demand a new building in the near future, he said he did not think but that the present building, with slight changes, would be ample to accommodate the work for many years to come. He said of course more machinery would have to be installed, and that the best that is made, which would enable him to turn out the work with greater rapidity and at less cost, and at the same time more than double the productive power of the plant.
Mr. Bryant will leave in a few days for Wilberforce, Ohio, to attend the Bishops' council. He will be the first layman to attend a meeting of the Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church as a general officers at the head of one of the printing departments, and being a practical man, much will be expected of him during the next four years. He has given the work much thought, and is very confident that he will succeed in making for his church a great publishing house. The people of Nashville, and the business men in particular, receive Mr. Bryant with open arms, and will extend to him every courtesy in their power. They are anxious to see him succeed.
ST. JOHN A. M. E. SUNDAY-SCHOOL
The officers and teachers of St. John A. M. E. Church Sunday-school met last Wednesday evening in a special meeting. The object of the meeting was to inaugurate plans to building up the school in their church. Mr. D. A. Hart, the superintendent, is reported to have asked the pastor and officers to relieve him of several of his duties that he might devote more of his spare time to the work of the Sunday-school. On last Sunday twelve new pupils were received, and every Sunday several are taken in. The officers and teachers realize that some plans must be put in operation to keep up with the new scholars and see that they attend the meetings regularly.
J. P. ROBINSON PRESIDENT.
The election of J. P. Robinson as President of the Capital City Savings Bank, located in Little Rock, Ark., is quite gratifying to his Nashville friends. This new honor places another worthy man at the head of a financial concern which is the only Negro bank in the state of Arkansas, and one of the solid concerns of the South. This bank has a capital stock of twenty-five thousand dollars, and a surplus of two thousand. Although not more than five years old, it represents the business backbone of Little Rock. Dr. Robinson's ability as a financier is not questioned.
Y. M. C. A. ORATORICAL CONTEST.
The oratorical contest of the Y. M.
C. A. will be held Monday evening,

Y. M. C. A.
The Sewing Club of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, under the direction of Mrs. L. C. Norton, ended its sewing season with a picnic Saturday, June 6, at Greenwood Park. The happy band of young folks, about twenty-five in number, left the residence of Mrs. Norton on Eleventh avenue at 10:30 o'clock in a large pleasure wagon which conveyed them to the park. Dinner was served in two courses. At 4:30 the little folks left the beautiful park for their homes.
CLUBS GIVE SUPPER TO MR.
PAGE.
Periodically, it would seem, the members of the Algonquin, Honey Pot and B. G. Clubs come together for the purpose of celebrating some event. At times, it would appear, the clubs meet to bid farewell to some member who is leaving the city for some other field of labor, but more recently most of such assemblages have been to speed some member on towards the altar presided o'er by Hymen. So regularly have these meetings been held that it is being intimated that at each stag "the next" is selected.
In June one year ago a "Bachelor's Supper" was given in honor of Mr. Geo. O. Boyd, President of the Honey Pot Club. Last Saturday night the three clubs met in the studio of Dr. J. J. Lay and tendered a "supper" to Mr. Eugene Turner Page, President of the Algonquin Club, who became a benedict Wednesday evening. Whether the President of the B. G. Club was voted to be the "next," the Globe was unable to learn.
The "Bachelors' Supper" in honor of Mr. Page followed along the traditional lines of "suppers" usually given by these three clubs and though many members of the three clubs could not be present, was one of the most enjoyable ever given by them. Mr. Page is exceedingly popular with the members of the clubs and it seemed that every one present exerted himself to make his last "supper" as a bachelor the pleasantest of his career.
Mr. Ernest Cole acted as toastmaster and added much by his wit to the occasion as he called upon the various speakers. Mr. Page responded with a very happy speech to the many felicitations showered upon him and after giving a slight history of the inception of the club of which he had served from the first as president, thanked each one present for the honors shown him.
The menu, which was elaborate for a "supper," was served in about ten courses. Those present were Eugene T. Page, Ernest Cole, J. O. Battle, D. W. Crutcher, L. D. Bumbrey, A. G. Price, Walter Davis, Dr. J. J. Lay, Dr. J. G. Haven Moores, Wm. D. Boger, J. Frank Battle, Geo. O. Boyd, Anthony Porter, Thos. G. West, John Flemings, John Sims, H. C. Craigmiles.
MEHARRY GRADUATES PASS BOARD.
As an index of the thorough training given at the Meharry Medical College, nothing could be cited more to the advantage of the school than the record made by its graduates who took the examination prescribed by the state board of Tennessee recently. It has been learned that graduates from this school that took the recent examination have made the required percentage and have received licenses to practice. This record is an extraordinary one, as the examinations were supposed to have been very rigid, and since so many of them passed it certainly can be classed as a feather in the cap of the biggest Negro medical school in the world.
A HORSE'S TOE NAILS.
(From the New York Sun.)
Few person realize that a horse's hoof is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of animals having toes. The horn of a hoof grows just as a toe nail does.
The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses than in those wearing shoes, and it grows faster in horses which are well groomed and well fed. But on an average the horn grows about a third of an inch a month.
Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, it takes longer for the horn to grow down there than at the heel. For instance, the toe will grow entirely down in from eleven to thirteen months, while the heel will grow down in from three to five months.
As the new horn grows out any

BISHOP SCOTT RETURNS TO THE CITY.
Bishop and Mrs. I. B. Scott are just in from Baltimore. The report of the Bishop to the General Conference was most heartily received. The Baltimore Sun said that his address on the needs of Africa aroused more interest and enthusiasm than any other made before that body. Bishop Scott leaves this week for New York and points in the East.
ECONOMICAL LAUNDRY.
The management of the Economical Steam Laundry has increased the business of this enterprise to such an extent that their purchases are made on the wholesale plan now. Last Friday the company bought of the Armour Soap Co. ten barrels of high-priced soap, each barrel weighing 250 pounds. In order to compete with other like concerns they see the necessity of running each day in the week. Heretofore the machines began work in full on Wednesday. Now the work begins early Monday morning and work sent in one day can be finished and delivered the next day. In some instances work is delivered the same day it is sent in.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. JUNE 12. 1908
By Leon.
J. LEE, THE MIGHTY "MUSH- ROOM."
Jockey J. Lee, the little whirlwind, who sprang into prominence last year by his success on the race tracks in the South and West, is attracting much attention in the East this season by his success in the saddle. About the middle of the season of 1907, while Lee was riding at Latonia, the local press was criticized for lavishing so much praise on the little black boy. Some men who are considered good authority on race matters went so far as to call him a "mushroom;" another referred to him as "an accident;" but despite all this the little black artist is the sensation of the East this year. Last week he added to his long list of victories the Parkway, handicap one of the classic events of the Gravesend meeting, and another big stake. Lee is going along at a great clip, putting one and two under the wire first every day. Last year the charge was made that there were no first-class jockies in the West, and that if Lee had such boys as Dugan, Notter, Miller, Musgrave, McCarthy and others to contend with he would not stand a ghost of a show. But Lee is now winning every day from these same boys and with the same ease that he did from the western boys in 1907, which proves conclusively that he ranks among the best jockies in the world to-day. He is a very young boy yet, and if properly handled will some day be the premier jockey on the turf.
LETTER FROM SAN ANTONIO.
The original of the following letter and other information may be found at the Globe office:
San Antonio, Tex., June 2, 1908.
Sporting Editor of Nashville Globe:
Dear Sir—I beg to state that the Black Bronchos, who claim to be the fastest team of balltossers in the South, are anxious to arrange a series of games with the Giants of your city and will thank you for information leading to correspondence with their manager. Already we have scheduled New Orleans, Birmingham and Memphis, and would like to make a match with Nashville.
Any information you can give will be highly appreciated by

GANS GOING BLIND, SAYS HARRY
TUTHILL.
Joe Gans is going blind. The eyesight of the wonderful Negro who sixteen years has been a mighty figure in the prize ring, is gradually becoming afflicted. He knows it but laughs heedlessly.
"I can whip any of them doing business now with only one eye, so what's the use of worrying?" he maintains.
Harry Tuthill, at present trainer for the Detroit Tigers, who trained "Young" Griffo, Corbett, McGovern and many other famous boxers of note, is authority for the statement that the black champion's eyesight is weakening.
"I met him down East some weeks ago," declared Tuthill, "and noticed that he could not see very well. I commented on it and he admitted that his sight was weak. Gans is pretty well fixed now and he apparently intends to clean up all the money in sight before it becomes too late."
First Sign of Age.
So it is that the first sign of age is shown in this physically wonderful man, who has seen the greatest of fighters pass and leave him alone, conqueror of all his class.
"Joe Gans is the great wonder of the athletic world to-day," maintained Tuthill, who has made a lifelong study of fighters, ball players and other athletes. "He has the most remarkable constitution of any athlete I have ever studied, and I have seen them all.
"Other men have lasted—not as long as Joe Gans, perhaps, yet almost as long—but they always took care of themselves. Joe Gans never did until recent years. He has gone hungry many and many a day, he has been punished in the ring and he has suffered from every form of illness ordinary mankind suffers from. He has enjoyed himself with every excess money could secure. He has gone through the mill until made wise by age, and still retains all his vitality and strength. He says he could whip any of them now with one eye. Joe could take any of them and beat them with half an eye.
Knew Nothing of Game
"I knew Joe Gans before he started on his remarkable career as a prizefighter. He knew nothing about the science of the game and could not hit. He was just a fast young kid. From
that he slowly developed until to-day, barring his eyesight, he is better than he ever was.
Joe has money now and has learned his lesson. He is keeping it. Don't believe these stories that he is broke, for he isn't. He is making his last campaign, I think, to clean up all he can before he cleans up for good."
T. Clay Moore, Agent for the Boyd Building, is having the building entirely renovated and papered throughout. Handsome offices and furnished or unfurnished rooms for men only. Under the new management the building will be kept tidy and clean, suitable for first-class tenants. None but those who can furnish references will be rented any part of the building. *

STATE INSTITUTE.
The State Institute, which is in session at Pearl High School is being largely attended. It opened Monday with an enrollment of two hundred teachers. The instructors are determined to make this institute a decided success. A Globe representative visited the High School building one day this week and was very much impressed with the work and the order in which the institute is being conducted.

It is over two hundred feet long and stands upon one of the highest points in the community and will accommodate thousands of people.

MRS. ESTHER ROBERTSON
PASSES AWAY.
Mrs. Esther Robertson, who resided at 621 Webster street, died Saturday morning. Mrs. Robertson had been sick for a number of months, and bore her suffering with Christian bearing. She was for a number of years a member of the First Baptist Church, East Nashville. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from her church, Rev. S. E. Griggs officiating. Mrs. Robertson leaves one daughter, Miss Annie Louise Robertson, one son, husband, mother and numerous relatives, who will mourn her loss.
HELIOTROPE CIRCLE
The last meeting of the Heliotrope Circle was with Mrs. E. D. Richman last Friday. Late in the afternoon refreshments were served by the charming hostess. Miss Beatrice Taylor furnished music for the occasion. Mrs. Wm. Royster was the guest of the Circle. Owing to the illness of several of the members only a few were present. Those present were Madams S. V. Lofton, J. H. Franklin, S. T. Shelby and J. S. McKay.

DEATH OF MRS. SUSAN HARRIS.
Mrs. Susan Harris, who lived for many years at 419 Jo Johnston avenue, died Monday morning after a brief illness. Mrs. Harris has a large circle of acquaintances in the city and was loved by all. She was a devout Christian and for a long time an active worker in St. John A. M. E. Church. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon.
Miss Madeline Dunlap, of 1821 Jefferson street, is spending a few weeks with her grandmother, Mrs. Sarah Dunlap, of 41 Wharf avenue.
Mr. Fred J. Ewing, of this city, who for some time has been a linetype operator at Tuskegee, will arrive in this city on June 29. Mr. Ewing will probably stay a month in Nashville.
Miss Ladye B. Stringer and a friend were badly frightened on Wednesday evening while passing through Fourth avenue, North. On the sidewalk they saw a boy lying at full length. He did not move a muscle and the young ladies thought he was dead. All at once the boy jumped to his feet, and the screams of the women were heard a long distance. A policeman after learning the particulars forced the young gentleman to apologize for his conduct.
