THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. III TEACHERS ELECTED FOR CITY SCHOOLS Board of Education Meets In Regular Session. NO ACTION TAKEN AS TO NEW SCHOOL FOR NEGROES. OLD KNOWLES SCHOOL GROWING MORE DANGEROUS EVERY DAY MONTHLY REPORT SUBMITTED BY SUPERINTENDENT H. C. WEBER—REPORT PASSED OVER—WATER FOR SCHOOL MATTER FOR CONSIDERATION BOARD WILL SEE TO IT. THAT CHILDREN HAVE PURE WATER. The election of teachers and substitutes for the vacancies, as reported by Superintendent H. C. Weber, and other matters of minor importance, was the business transcated Monday night at the regular meeting of the Board of Education. Those present were Dr. R. B. Lees, Maj. E. B. Stahlman, Dr. G. A. Lofton, L. Jonas, Simon Lieberman, A. B. Hill, A. W. Akers and John H. DeWitt. Those placed on the probation list and elected as new teachers are Misses Westella Burns, Sophia Overstreet and Mittie White. Substitutes, Misses Annie Allison and Eva Murrell. The monthly report submitted by Superintendent Weber was as follows: "On account of the high reputation these schools bear, together with the security in place now felt by the successful teacher, positions in the city schools have been sought for as desirable, but when successful and experienced teachers learned that they had to begin with us at the same salary the novice received, the advantages of engagement with us were offset by the sacrifice required. The result was, as stated to you in a former communication, that our list of applicants was largely made up of the inexperienced and unemployed. "Your action in changing the date of the examination for applicants for positions in the city schools to a time when teachers employed elsewhere could conveniently attend, together with your action allowing outside experience in our schools in determining a teacher's salary, has been entirely justified by the result of the recent examination you held for applicants for positions as teachers. Some of the best teachers in the county and many teachers of experience who live here but have been teaching elsewhere, attended the examination held on June 20. A greater per cent of applicants passed this examination than has been the case for years. "The wise selection of eligible applicants to fill vacancies as they occur will slowly but certainly increase the efficiency of the teaching force. "In the white schools there are fourteen vacancies in the class of probation teachers and in the colored schools the vacancies are three in the probation list and two in the list of substitutes." The report was passed over to be called under the head of new business, and postponed until other matters were dispensed with. The presentation of accounts by the Finance Committee aggregated $6,441.07. and was approved and ordered paid. It was reported that fire escapes had been installed at Howard and Tarbox schools, and that other improvements on the various schools were being made. There was considerable discussion as to whether there should be further installation of water stills in the various schools until further investigation should be made with reference to the purity of the city's water in its present state. Mr. Lieberman supported the contention that nothing further in this line should be attempted at this time from the fact that should the Reyer system of purification prove as efficient as is generally reported that further installation of the water stills would incur a needless expense upon the city's school fund. He stated that while he was very sensitive to the demands as to the care of the health of the children he thought it the wrong time to take action in this line. After some discus NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1908. THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL sion, however, the Superintendent was ordered to continue the installation of two stills already ordered, and such other apparatus as previously recommended, and, in the meantime, further investigation with reference to the present state of the waters will be made, such to be reported at the next meeting of the Board. President Lees appointed L. Jonas to attend the July meetings of the City Council, and Dr. Lofton was appointed to represent the Board at the National Educational Association in session at Cleveland, O. It was thought that the Board of Education would take some action as to Knowles School, but nothing was said about the matter. The building was condemned several years ago by the city inspector, and is considered very dangerous in which to house school children. If a fire should break out while school was in session it would be almost impossible for all of the children to escape. The people who send their children there are very much concerned about this matter, and they feel that they are being subjected to a great danger in having them in daily peril during school. They are unanimous in the opinion that a new building should replace this one at the earliest date possible. FLORIDA STUDENTS FROM TEN NESSEE. Jacksonville, June 24.—Your correspondent finds that the city of Jacksonville is enjoying, as no Southern city does, the reputation of having in its midst no small number of students who have attended the schools of Nashville. There are Fiskites here, Rogerites, Waldenites and Meharryites. We make particular mention of the Meharryites, because they seem to have made the most advancement. We have in the medical world permanently located in this city five graduates of medicine from Meharry Medical College: Dr. J. A. Baker, physician and surgeon, of the class of 1903, who is highly esteemed and respected; Dr. R. A. McLeary, of the class of 1901, who spent three years in the marine hospital service of the United States during the Spanish-American War. Afterwards he came to Key West, where he is still interested in the largest drug store in Florida. His health having failed him in the extreme Southern portion, he came to Jacksonville, where he is enjoying an excellent practice. Then there is Dr. J. Harvey Smith, who is not behind, and Dr. H. W. James, known to be an able physician, doing a good practice. The youngest of the five is Dr. James Perry Patterson, of the class of 1907. Dr. Patterson is making an excellent record for himself. He has associated himself with the physicians of the city and is enjoying a remarkable practice for a physician so young in the professional world. Your correspondent learns that the rumor concerning the marriage of Dr. Patterson is untrue. There is much else of interest to Nashville people that cannot be sent in this report. Your correspondent has been royally entertained by the generous people of this great resort. Mr. J. W. DeWees, who has been connected with the Hopkinsville News, is now with the A. M. E. Sunday School Union. Mr. James G. Blaine Boyd spent the week end with his family at Greenbrier. INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH. ville, Fla., Sunday School Congress Held. CONGRESS AND CHAUTAUQUA Account of the Meetings held at Jacksonville, Fla. ONE OF THE BEST CONVENTIONS IN HISTORY. REPRESENTATIVE MEN FROM BOTH RACES PRESENT—MOST CORDIAL WELCOME — INSTRUCTIVE PAPERS READ— MUSIC CAPTIVATES PEOPLE— REV. W. S. ELLINGTON DELIVERS MASTERLY SERMON—DR. C. T. WALKER LECTURES—ALL SESSIONS LARGELY ATTENDED Jacksonville, Fla., June 29.—Within close proximity to St. Augustine, the oldest town in the United States, and nestling close to the great Atlantic, which connects two world powers, the metropolis of Florida, Jacksonville, has added new fame to its already world-wide reputation by fittingly entertaining the third annual session of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress and Young People's Chautauqua, which held daily session at Bethel Institutional Baptist Church in this city, June 24-29. The meeting was under the auspices of the Baptist of the United States. It was by far the most representative body of Sunday-school workers ever held by any one denomination in the United States, and it was the first national religious gathering ever held in the state of Florida. Twenty-two thousand five hundred and fifty-five Baptist Sunday-schools made up the representation of this young people's movement. The brain of the Baptists was here taking part in these deliberations. The consensus of opinion is that the people of the Peninsula State, especially those residing in Northern Florida, in and about Jacksonville, have reversed their opinion with respect to the Negro nominational and religious advancement. If there were any doubt lingering in the minds of any as to the intelligence and personnel of the delegation, it was removed at the conclusion of this great meeting to-day. Every session was an "overflow" meeting. Every speaker was eloquent and every subject written upon and rendered before the Congress was a mas terpiece. The church in which the meeting was held is particularly adapted for such a gathering, and the departmental meetings were largely attended and extremely beneficial. Every denomination in Jacksonville co-operated in extending a hearty welcome to the Baptist workers. There representative members and ministers took advantage of the sessions and gained much valuable information. Many expressed themselves as being surprised to know that so many gigantic Christian workers, such a strong organiza tion, representing the marvelous growth of the denomination, really existed. Interest in the meeting began to grow last Monday, until by Wednesday, the opening day, the entire city was in a mood to receive visitors from sister states. The climax was reached Sunday, when the leading divines were sent to all the sister churches, where services were held, and model Sunday schools conducted. Yet the point of interest was Bethel. The master sermon at 11 o'clock by Rev. Dr. Ellington, of Tennessee, was a feature and an occasion to be remembered. But Jacksonville was put to wonder when the Duval theater was packed to its utmost capacity for a mass meeting at 3 p. m., at which the matchless orator and renowned divine, Dr. Chas. T. Walker, of Augusta, Ga., appeared. He was the program in itself. Fully twenty-two hundred people crowded three floors of this historic theater to hear him deliver his great message. The night session, which was a farewell, was held at Bethel Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. Clark, of Tennessee, was the central figure, preaching the farewell congress sermon. This morning many of the delegates went to bathe their faces and hands in the great waters of the Atlantic. A special train conveyed most of them to St. Augustine, while no small number went to Pablo Beach and other resorts, returning in the afternoon. Tonight the exodus of delegates began. Every outgoing train carries them to their various homes. A special party going to Tennessee, Georgia and Ohio left on the Dixie Flyer in a special Pullman car. This virtually closed the third annual session of the Sunday School Congress. (Continued on Page 7.) DR. ROMAN RETURNS HOME. Dr. C. V. Roman, the popular specialist, has returned from Dallas, Texas, where he has been for the last few weeks taking a well-deserved rest. Dr. Roman formerly lived in Dallas, and while he enjoyed a lucrative practice in a general way, and also along special lines. A few years ago, however, he realized that the duties of a large general practice as well as those of a specialist were breaking him down physically, so he moved to Nashville and is now confining his practice to the special profession of treating the eye, ear, nose and throat. While in Dallas Dr. Roman was royally entertained by his host of friends, who received him with open arms. He returned to his office Wednesday morning looking much better as the result of having taken the trip. When he was seen by a Globe representative in his office in Napier Court he was busy as usual. Dr. Roman is a hard worker and a persistent student. He is the only Negro physician in the South that is doing a limited practice in the medical profession. The Dallas Express had the following of his visit editorially: The palatial residence of Dr. and Mrs. F. A. Bryan, 388 Bryan street, was the scene of great splendor and magnificence Wednesday evening, 17th inst., the occasion being an "at home" in honor of Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn. La France roses, white carnations and ferns were in profusion in the reception hall and in the charming parlors, and American beauties over a crystal reflector were favored for the center bed in the dining-room. The reception line included Mesdames F. A. Bryant, B. R. Bluitt, D. M. Mason, W. H. Hallums, Miss J. L. Caldwell and Dr. Roman, the honor guest. Mrs. Herbert Thomas assisted by Misses Mozella Rowen, Naomi Donaldson, Zadie Belle McCauley presided over the punch bowl. Chains of gayly lighted fapanese lanterns artistically arranged, also white and pink carnations, decorated the airy roof garden. The color motif of pink and white was carried out in the ice course, over which Mrs. J. P. Starks presided with much grace and facility, assisted by Misses Alberta Wade, E. Linskie and Mrs. Worthington. About one hundred and seventy-five guests called during the evening to greet the doctor. Prominent among the out-of-town guests were Mrs. W. H. Hill of Galveston, Mrs Beadie of Waco, Mrs. C. M. Connor of Fort Worth, Mrs. Edith Cooper of Terrell Dr. W. B. Harewood of Kansas and Dr. Sutton E. Griggs of Nashville Enchanting music was furnished by the famous Black and Tan Orchestra and mirth, wit and humor characterized the "feast of reason and flow of soul." Dr. and Mrs Bryan cordially and graciously entertained their guests and the consensus of opinion is that the reception was one of the most prominent and highly enjoyable occasions of the season. No.26 BLOOD FLOWS FREE-LY IN NASHVILLE "MAC" SHELTON SHOOTS JOHN HOWELL IN BACK. MURDERS AND ASSAULTS COMMON OCCURRENCES IN THIS CITY NOWADAYS—THIRD AVENUE, NORTH, FIELD OF OPERATION—DIVES RUN BY WHITE MEN IN THAT VICINITY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TROUBLE —CROWDS THAT GATHER THERE OF WORST TYPE. The blood of human beings is getting to be so cheap that men take the liberty to shoot and cut up people on the least provocation. Scarcely a day passes that there is not an account of a dastardly deed committed. On Third avenue, North, between the public square and Jo Johnston avenue seems to be the chosen haunt for these seekers after human blood, and the dives that are located on this avenue between the points designated are believed to be responsible for these evil deeds. On any occasion, and especially on Saturday night Third avenue, from Jo Johnston to the public square, the crowd is so thick that one can scarcely pass. Men and women throng the street and are continually crowding into the saloons and the filthy restaurants in that vicinity. It is the duty of the officers to break up these dives. On Saturday night another crime was added to the list of murders that is the record in Nashville. James Brown, a young man about 22 years of age, was stabbed in the neck by a man named Ed Shannon, about 1 o'clock Saturday night, and died of his wounds at the City Hospital early Sunday morning. The quarrel between the two men arose over the the request of Brown for a cigarette paper, which Shannon refused. The men were drinking in Hartman's saloon on Third avenue, North, and were apparently on good terms. Shannon, who is about 19 years of age, took out a package of cigarette papers and Brown requested one. Shannon replied that he "wouldn't give his mother one of them," and Brown insisted that he would have one anyhow. It is said that Brown struck Shannon and at the latter drew a knife which he plunged deep into the right side of Brown's neck, severing one of the main arteries. A man who works for Taylor's undertaking establishment saw the wounded man run out of the saloon and fall upon the sidewalk just opposite the car barn, and telephoned the police station. Brown was hurried to the hospital in the patrol wagon, and everything possible done to save him, but he expired shortly after 2 o'clock in the morning. The police have a good description of Shannon, who came here from Georgia recently, and they expect to capture him before many days. On Monday night another case that came near proving fatal was an assault with a pistol on John Howell, a one arm porter employed by Pitts & DeBerry, by one "Mac" Shelton. A representative called to see Mrs. Howell at her home, but she was too ill to be seen. Shelton eluded the officers on Monday night. Three shots were fired by Shelton, only one taking effect, this striking Howell in the back. After the shooting Patrolmen Longhurst and Van Tien, who heard the shots, summoned the patrol wagon and at his own request Howell was taken to the Mercy Hospital. Later it was found necessary to send him to the City Hospital, where his injuries were found to be more serious than at first anticipated. Little is known of the cause of the shooting except that the men had a quarrel about a colored woman. Shelton was captured early Tuesday morning by Detectives Irwin, Dowd, Norton, Jones, Cummings and Jacobs. The shooting occurred shortly after 8 o'clock in the evening, but Shelton had made his escape before Patrolmen Longhurst and Van Tien, who heard the shots, could reach the scene. GEO. W.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1908. Puzzles Mrs. Amanda E. Brown is Ever Solving. From the New York Sun. For twenty years Mrs. Amanda E. Brown has been identifier in chief of damaged currency for this Government. To her skill scores of banks and hundreds of business firms and of private individuals—including foolish women—owe their receipt of crisp new bills in exchange for little heaps of hopeless looking shreds and patches. Mrs. Brown's desk is directly under the light of a north window on the ground floor of the Treasury Building at Washington. In its pigeonholes and compartments are official looking manila envelopes and a few boxes, each of which contains a case—that is, some fragments of alleged money. The tools of her work lie before her—several fine steel scalpels, a four-inch magnifying glass, and a half inch thick piece of plate glass the exact size of a bank note and ruled off in fifty equal squares. As the reporter sat beside her the other day she spread a sheet of stout manila paper before her, picked up one of the boxes and emptied out ten or twelve charred pieces of paper ranging from bits about a quarter of an inch square to a couple of pieces containing a square inch or a little more. They looked absolutely blank at first. They might have been any pieces of burned paper. Mrs. Brown did not handle them with her fingers, but with marvellous delicacy of touch separated them with the scalpel till they lay spread out upon the manila sheet. Then she handed the magnifying glass to the reporter, indicated one of the larger fragments, and intimated that it showed the word "dollars" and a figure or design found only on United States twenty dollar notes. "This is the case of the burning of a store building," said Mrs. Brown. "We received this box, about four by six inches in size, full of charred pieces accompanied by a letter stating that in it the remains of $65—two twenties, two tens and a five. "When I first turned the contents out it seemed as if there was nothing but more burned paper. But I carefully sorted it until I discovered these fragments of currency. "You know it is an easy matter, at least for the experienced eye, to discriminate between burned money and any other burned paper. Currency is made of the best linen paper, especially manufactured for the Government. When burned it looks almost like burned linen cloth and can be separated at once from ordinary paper. "After I had identified these fragments as money I gave them several baths in acid, which brought out traces of the engraving. I have not finished the case yet, but the identification of one twenty dollar note is now practically certain. "As the fragment contains less than two-fifths of the original size of the note, the person having it redeemed will be required to make affidavit to the circumstances of its loss. He will then receive one-half the face value of the note. In that way, you see, the Government is protected against redeeming the same note twice for full value. Oh, yes, such attempts are often undoubtedly made, but owing to the precautions taken they do not succeed." At this moment a bank messenger appeared at the wicket near by and handed in two envelopes and some official slips. Miss Brown took out the contents of the first envelope. It proved to be—well, call it a five dollar bill with a strip of surgeon's plaster going up and down the centre on both sides. Mrs. Brown began pulling this plaster off. "You see," she explained almost before the bill was out of the envelope, so quick was her estimate of it, "these are halves of two different bills. Probably some one has taken the patched up note and has found out his mistake and has sent it to the bank for redemption. The adhesive plaster was put on so as to leave a little space between the two pieces and conceal the fact that the bill is not full size." She pasted one torn piece on a sheet of manila paper, laid her checkered slab of plate glass over it and with a pencil outlined what would be the fill size of the note were it complete. Then she noted whether more than two-fifths was included in the section existing. There was just a trifle more than the necessary amount. She indorsed the blank space for $2.50 and took up the other torn half. This was amply in excess of the required two-fifths and was indorsed. She immediately took the pieces with her to consult the records and see whether fragments bearing the same record number had already been redeemed. They had not. The numbers of these notes were entered in the books and they were redeemed at $2.50 each. If other fragments of the same notes should turn up later they will be dealt with accordingly. The second envelope was then emptied. It contained good sized fragments of e dollar bill looking uncommonly as if they had been chewed by a dog. Without touching them with her fingers Mrs. Brown swiftly spread them out with deft movements of the scalpel. There was no question of the denomination or of the total area of the pieces being fully three-fifths that of the original bill. The fragments were returned to their envelope, a clean new dollar bill was taken from the stock on hand and the messenger departed. "Do you suppose that last bill had been chewed by a dog?" asked the reporter. "It's more than likely," said Mrs. Brown. "We receive bills that have been chewed by every animal, it seems to me, that walks on four legs! And occasionally," she added, "by some who walk on two. "Dogs are the worst offenders, but cats, rabbits, swine, sheep, goats and cattle occasionally figure in our cases. Farmers lean over pens or stalls in feeding animals, drop the money from their pockets and before it can be recovered it has been trampled and torn. "We do not have to handle such bills. In the first place they are thoroughly cleansed before coming to us. And even then I do not touch any suspicious looking bill with my fingers. With the scalpel I can do everything necessary and do it better than I could with my hands. So it has become second nature for me to use it. "When we receive a package of bills which has suffered from dampness the only way we can do anything with them is by using he scalpel. For instance if a roll of bills has been buried for fancied safekeeping, or accidentally, it sometimes becomes so affected by mould that the notes stick together in a damp mass. "When taken out into the light and air this mass becomes hard and brittle. The only way in which we can separate it is to dampen it again and work so carefully that instead of saying inch by inch I might say hair's breadth by hair's breadth." "Do you ever receive money from wrecked vessels?" "Yes. We often have money that has been in salt water some time, but those cases are rarely difficult. The bills are generally intact when we get them and can be spread out to dry." "Is most of the money you receive damaged by fire?" "Yes. After a great fire we always have particularly heavy receipts of injured bills. Now we are getting money from the Chelsea fire, but we are also still receiving damaged bills from California, even though it is two years since the disaster. "We have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from San Francisco for redemption and 90 per cent. of it has been made good by the Treasury. That is an unusual percentage; but the San Francisco money came to us in excellent condition." "In the first place most of it had been put away carefully. The bills had been laid in piles instead of being crumpled up, as they often are in small stores or in private houses. The fire coming on at night, the money was in safes, which at least prevented some injury, even when the safes were not fireproof. "Then, too, our men were on the ground when the work of recovery began and told people how to ship the burned money. The piles of bills must not be handled more than is absolutely necessary. They must be packed in cotton and put into stout boxes which contain nothing else. "We sometimes receive packages containing both bills and coin which have been through a fire. The coin, no matter how it is wrapped, is so heavy that it will slide about, and as nothing is much more fragile than burned paper, the bills are broken into little pieces which are entirely useless for identification." "Suppose some one had a counterfeit bill and burned it and sent the fragments for redemption—has that happened?" "Well, we have had burned counterfeit money, but it may have come with other bills, you know, and not have been recognized till it came to us." "Then you can detect a counterfeit even in these little black scraps?" "Oh, that is one of the most important requirements. And it is not so difficult as you would think. The quality of the paper is as distinguishable when a good bill and a bad bill have been charred as they were before." "Do you receive much money from women?" Mrs. Brown smiled. "In the spring time and the fall we get it every day from people—chiefly women, I am afraid—who have hidden it in the stove or range." "Oh, not every day!" "Every day, I assure you. Sometimes two or three cases a day. Here's one now. The woman writes that the bills were in the fire all the time it burned and remained in the ashes several hours after the fire was out. Two hundred and ten dollars in all. Too bad." ANNOUNCEMENT. Miss Minnie L. Fite, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. H. L. Fite, will leave in a few days for New York.

Columbus, Ga., June 28.—The passing away of "Blind Tom," the eccentric Negro musical genius, whose wonderful imitative powers have been the marvel of the scientific world for the past half century, lends renewed interest to the scenes and incidents of his childhood. He was born on a plantation just a few miles from this city, the son of a slave. This city has produced many notable men, and it is rather remarkable that the native of Columbus whose name is best known throughout the civilized world was born a Negro slave, almost blind, and more than half idiotic. "Blind Tom" was one of a family of twenty-one children, of whom only four are now living. The survivors are a good type of the ordinary Southern negro, and there is nothing about them to indicate that they are so closely related to one who was endowed with such wonderful powers. One of them is a janitor, another is a veteran livery stable employee, and the others hold menial positions. They haven't a particle of musical talent; in fact, they are not gifted in that particular as is the average negro, for all the music and melody of the whole family seems to have centered in "Blind Tom." "Blind Tom" was in early years just like any other young slave child, only his condition in some respects was infinitely worse. He was almost wholly blind, and his talk was idiotic jabber without sense of reason, but all that time his wonderful brain was storing away records of sounds and impressions fully as accurate and almost as lasting as those which are preserved in the phonograph. In the parlor of Gen. Bethune, on whose place the boy was raised, there was a magnificent piano, and this was played very often by members of the family and visitors who were endowed with musical talent. The slave boy sat in the negro quarters and listened to the sounds of music that floated out on the summer breezes from the old Southern mansion. While there was on his face a half idiotic leer, yet the sound records were being registered in his brain. One day while the family was at dinner the little boy crawled into the parlor and climbed upon the stool. His fingers found their way to the keys and instinctively and intuitively he began to play, reproducing pieces that he had heard. The members of the family were astonished when they entered the parlor and found who the musician was. It was in this strange fashion that the boy's genius became discovered, and it was not long before he was widely known as a musical prodigy. He was carried all over America and Europe, and his remarkable gift was a matter of supreme interest in both musical and scientific circles. He remained to the last the blind, half idiotic person that he was in childhood, but his genius abided with him until death came at the age of 65 years. He could not only reproduce faultlessly the most difficult pieces of music from the great composers, but could also repeat years afterward addresses that he had heard delivered in foreign languages, not a word of which he understood. The great transformation that has come over the Southern States in an industrial way since "Blind Tom" was born in slavery in Georgia, is well illustrated by the changes that have occurred in the vicinity of his old home. A big railroad, now a part of the Southern Railway system, goes through the old Bethune place. Two or three miles away several large textile industries have been established. The birthplace of "Blind Tom" is not more than three miles from the Chattahoochee River, where the Columbus Power Company, proceeding with its plans to develop 100,000 horse-power, has already erected one large dam and is proceeding to build another of still greater proportion that will develop some 16,000 horse-power. The last years of "Blind Tom's" aged mother were spent in the suburbs of Columbus, and directly facing her home is a great industrial school built by this city as a part of its system for popular education which has attracted national and international attention. Columbus was a commercial town with only a few industries and catered almost entirely to the farming class at the time "Blind Tom" came into the world, and at the time of his death it has become one of the greatest industrial centers, not only in the South, but in the entire Nation. SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION UNDERGOING REPAIRS. On passing the Public Square one is met by a large pile of brick and lumber, and can bear a great rumbling for several blocks away. On investigation it will be discovered that the Publishing House of the A. M. E. Church Sunday School Union is undergoing some repairs. This was made necessary by an order from the city building inspector. It was discovered not long since that there was a great bulge in the west wall of the building, and the inspector considered it unsafe for occupancy, and ordered the wall torn down at once. Mr. Bryant, the Secretary, found himself in an awkward predicament. The busy season was just setting in, and there was a probability that he would have to run night and day, and to begin tearing down the wall right at that time he realized to be no small undertaking. Yet it had to be done. So the contractors were called in and plans were devised whereby the repairing could be done and the regular work go on without interruption. Large timbers were secured and each floor securely braced from cellar to garret. So the work is not hindered as the building is made as secure as if it were a new structure out and out. Mr. Bryant said to a Globe reporter that he hoped to have the job completed in a few weeks and to be running as usual. Said he: "When this wall is completed we will have one of the best buildings in the city, and I will not hesitate to place machinery on any floor in the building." FIVE-COURSE DINNER.

GROVER CLEVELAND. The many complimentary notices published in the Negro press of the country on account of the passing away of all that was mortal of Grover Cleveland, ex-President of the United States, form a striking contrast to the manner in which Cleveland's first election to the presidency was received by the Negroes throughout the country. Now all is praise for those magnificent traits of character which Mr. Cleveland possessed so abundantly. Then all was gloom, filled with doubts and fears and wonderings of what his term in office would bring forth. When Mr. Cleveland was a candidate for President against James G. Blaine, the prediction was freely made among the Negroes of the South, as it had been in previous campaigns, that if the democratic candidate were elected the Negroes would be returned to slavery. A sad sight indeed was presented when the news came to the former slaves and their children that Cleveland had won. Many of these burst into tears and would not be comforted. Some of these poor, ignorant men who had suffered the horrors of human slavery, were a pitiable sight as they planned to prevent their children from undergoing what they had suffered. Like the Spartans of old they preferred to see their children dead. But Mr. Cleveland soon made it plain to these deluded people that it mattered very little whether a republican or democrat be in the White House, their liberty was secure. Likewise he soon gave evidence that with him color was not the paramount qualification for holding positions in the service of the United States. He was the first President to appoint a Negro—the late C. H. J. Taylor—as minister to a white government and likewise he was the first man filling that exalted position to appoint a Negro postmaster north of the Mason and Dixon line. Mr. Cleveland came from the ranks, but he was one of the strongest men to fill the office of President since the death of Lincoln. From deep hatred, inspired by false reports, the Negro became a great admirer of the man who was more popular than his party, and with the rest of the country our race mourns his loss. DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. The result in the main contest before the democratic primary last Sat THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1908. urday was as pleasing to many of those who could not participate in the election, as if it had been a republican victory. It was not that statewide prohibition was so unpopular that there is so much rejoicing, but that the defeat of Carmack will, we hope, eliminate him from the political affairs in Tennessee. We called attention when Hoke Smith was defeated that there seems to be a reaction against the Vardaman-Jeff Davis-Hoke Smith type of politician, and now Tennessee has joined the movement by defeating Carmack. Mr. Carmack belongs to the same class of politicians as that mentioned above. He is different from Davis and Vardaman in that he is the more refined and doubtless possesses more sense than both those gentlemen would possess even if they were combined. Carmack is a radical. In his sarcastic way he said some very hard things, while he was in Congress, against the Negro. One other thing makes Mr. Carmack's defeat gravifying, the attempt of a few of the newspapers supporting him to inject the Negro question in its vilest form into the contest. Carmack is a dead duck. We hope that when the democratic convention meets he will be buried so deep that he never will be heard from again in the politics of Tennessee. THE RESIGNATION OF DR. MER- RILL. The announcement made in this city Monday, that Dr. J. G. Merrill had tendered his resignation as President of Fisk University, came as a great surprise to many of the citizens of Nashville. Though the reasons why Dr. Merrill severed his connection with the school which he has so ably presided over since the death of Erastus Milo Cravath have not been made public at this writing, his departure from our midst will occasion general regret. Dr. Merrill is a strong man. He has unlimited faith in the Negro's ability to do things when properly trained and he has not failed to express these views. Of the type of God-fearing men who made the emancipation of the Negro possible, he believes that the bright side of the race question should be emphasized and in his speeches in the interest of the school has held up the successful Negro to his Northern audiences. During the incumbency of Dr. Merrill, Fisk has appeared to outsiders to be enjoying greater prosperity than at almost any time in its history. The faculty has been enlarged, a new science building added, and work is progressing at present upon the new Carnegie Library. For the past few years, we believe, the boarding facilities for students have been taxed to their capacity. The administration of Dr. Merrill has met the approval of most of the people of Nashville and no matter for what cause he relinquishes his position he will carry with him the best wishes of the people among whom he has worked. The "I wont hear you for one minute" faction of the republican party in this state had a meeting of its executive committee this week. They are in high glee because they had been a beneficiary of the "steam roller" at Chicago. In a few days the executive committee, headed by the Hon. Jno Houk, will hold a meeting preparatory to nominating a candidate for Governor. This will mean unless the differences are harmonized that two tickets will be in the field against Patterson and neither will be elected. Gen. Luke Wright, of Memphis, be came a member of Roosevelt's Cabinet Wednesday. He is the first Tennessee to occupy a position in the cabinet of a President since Judge D. M. Key was a member of Hayes official family. Gen. Wright has the highest regard of all Tennesseeans irrespective of race, color or previous condition of servitude. The local option faction of the democratic party whose candidate won out in the recent primary will be in a pretty pickle if the County Committees throughout the state should name state-wide prohibition delegates to the convention which meets on the 17th of the month. This is possible as a majority of the County Committees were in favor of Carmack. Evidently the County Unit Plan has slipped a cog. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, wants to let down the bars of the democratic party and bid the Negro to come in and help elect William Jennings Bryan President. One does not need to be gifted with any extraordinary foresight to see that "Marse Henri's" plea will go unheeded at Denver. Southern democrats are not willing for a truce even to elect their candidate. The New York Age republishes an article from the World's Work, in which reference is made to Negro "bishops and other bought agitators," as being injurious to the real interests of the Negro. The Age approves the article as a whole, but we wonder if it sanctions the charge that the opinions of Negro bishops on political questions are for sale to the highest bidder? It is remarkable to note how silent the Negro press is concerning the outcome of the recent National Republican Convention. The editors seem to be doing a lot of thinking while waiting to hear from Denver and to read Mr. Tatt's letter of acceptance before expressing opinions. Bryan will proceed to make the democratic platform, nominate himself, name his running mate and adjourn the National Democratic Convention sine die. Talking about "steam rollers," Bryan has so many improvements upon the Chicago affair that he has evolved into a juggernaut. And still the list of murders and attempted murders continues to grow. A few more legal executions will help to break up this utter disregard for human life. COMMUNICATION. Temperance Defeated. To The Nashville Globe: The temperance cause, or prohibition, went down to defeat because it was yoked with the political fortune of the wrong man—a man whose late conversion, if it were a genuine conversion, was doubted by a majority of the voters of his party as is known the country over. The country was watching the struggle of the temperance cause in Tennessee with much interest because of the leader who had been chosen to marshal its forces. Two strange companions! One committed to the task of ridding the state of the liquor traffic and the other using the same slogan to get into a position to build up his political fence. The ruse of the latter brought about the rejection of the former. All the people may be used for a while, some of them all the while, but all of them cannot be continually used, is substantially the observation once made by Lincoln. The truthfulness of this declaration has been attested many a time since it was made. The Negro people would not rejoice to see the utter failure of the temperance cause, but with a feeling of complacency they can reconcile themselves to its temporary check because of its late standard-bearer. Some newspapers that were more concerned about the waning political fortunes of the political leader of the temperance cause than about the cause itself, made a race issue of it, using the vilest of methods to accomplish their end. These newspapers stood for their chief and he for them, and the Negro people rejoice that both were severely rebuked by a majority of their own people who would not take fright at the scarecrow which was hung up. Neither would that majority be inflamed into the passion of butchering Negroes who had naught to do with the issue which had to be settled solely by the democratic voters of the state. No cause however great has a moral right to win, if it is necessary for it to win by wrong methods. The moral sympathy of a majority of the Negro people is with the temperance movement, but the tactics used by some of its advocates were vicious and disgusting. The printed dodgers that were scattered broadcast to create sentiment for temperance were revolting. Such methods were uncalled for and unwarranted by any sense of reason capable of entertaining a wholesome respect for the peace of the community. It is hoped that hereafter the fight for temperance will be made without resorting to the methods used in the recent contest. If the fight is made for a riddance of the liquor business from the state that there may be a nobler and worthier standard of manhood for all the people, then heaven may approve and the cause will succeed.

WOMAN KILLED IN FIGHT. Cut to Pieces With Razor in hands of a Woman. Maggie Bell, a young woman, aged about 30 years, was brought to the City Hospital at 9:30 o'clock Sunday night by employees of Blackner & Lane, the contractors in charge of the railway gang at Brentwood, Tenn., suffering from a dozen wounds about the face and body. The cutting was the result of a quarrel between the Bell woman and another woman living at the Nashville & Huntsville railway camp. The Bell woman was practically dead from loss of blood when she arrived at the hospital and died a short time afterward. The body was taken to Taylor & Co.'s undertaking rooms, where it was prepared for burial. The deceased came to Brentwood only a few weeks ago and it is said that she had been employed of late about the railway camp. The cutting took place shortly after 7 o'clock Sunday evening in the presence of a number of colored people. The woman who did the cutting was taken into custody by a constable at Brentwood. The victim of the affray was brought to this city on the train by orders of B. P. Blackner. LADIES FANCY WORK CLUB. The Ladies' Fancy Work Club met at the home of Mrs. Geo. Ward on June 29.

All the arrangements were characterized by the charm and sacredness that was attached to a home wedding. The wedding party entered led by Miss Sadie L. Harding with the groom, following were Mr. W. M. Hargraves with the pretty bride. The bride was a charming picture in a lingerie gown, over white silk trimmed elaborately with Irish and Valenciennes laces, made princes effect, finished with bows of white chiffon satin and her hair ornament being orange blossoms.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS MUSIC. Jacksonville has prided itself all these years as being up in the musical world. They could boast of their Sydney Woodard, of the Baptist College; their A. C. Porter, their T. H. Ward, their own Rosmond Johnson, and a host of others, who have lingered in the linelight and appeared before the footlights from time to time, but this was before the Congress met. Now it is acknowledged that the music furnished during these sessions was rendered with more earnestness, with more proficiency, and was more enjoyable than any ever heard in the city. The chorus of one hundred voices, gotten up by Messrs. Ward and Porter, received its finishing touches from Rev. N. H. Pius, the national musical director of the National Baptist Convention. It rendered the most delightful music on all occasions. The fact that the entire renditions of this chorus was the output of Negro brain, coming from a Negro press (The National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn.) was only made known when the rehearsals began in this city. No one was better prepared than these young people under such able leadership. The Baptists now boast of sixteen song books of their own, with three special anthems. Selecctions were taken from all of these. The songs for the occasion attracting the most attention were "Princess, Awake," words by E. W. D. Isaac, and music by Wm. Rosborough; "Hail the Baptist Congress," by Thos. W. J. Tobias; "The Beatitudes," and others too numerous to mention. There were a few ladies assisting in the rendition of this music. Miss Celestine Cook and Mrs. Ruth H. Perry contributed much to the occasion. --- Bargains For Sale QUIT PAYING RENT.

(MARKET STREET.) NASHVILLE, TENN. A. N. JOHNSON, THE CELEBRATED UNDERTAKER. The many visitors tot he city during the past several weeks to the commencements, conventions, associations and meetings have invariably visited the Johnson Undertaking Establishment and their verdict has been unanimous that it is the most complete in the United States. The master mind at the head of the business looks into every detail and keeps an eye open to every advance move in the profession. The beautiful snowy white Arabian horses; the small child's funeral car; is a rare innovation which elicits praise at the start. There is a large carved white funeral car with white, purple and steel grey draping; then the massive, gorgeously carved pile of ebony sculpture forming a funeral car is a dream of artistic skill and beauty. The carriages are the latest in the modern style. Large, roomy, comfortable. These are all served with magnificent matched steeds of rare beauty and form. The harness is always clean and shining The drivers are neat tidy and clean. Not the soiled and sloven sort whose clothes need soap and water; but men in clean linen serve people as they should be. During all the commencement exercises Johnson's carriages traveled above all the rest. At the various brilliant weddings it was the same. His name is not hunted on his hearses or carriages, but the little children all on the route know them, say so, and are proud to see a man of the race leading. Mr. Johnson's embalming has been the talk of the city. The bodies are beautiful. The sting and horrors of death are banished by the beautiful and life-like appearance and elegant surroundings in which he places the remains. Again and again the people are telling it to their families that in case of death they want Mr. Johnson. There has not been any business started among our people which has proven such a necessity in a great while. The people readily appreciate it and thus we easily see why the majority of the people are securing Mr. Johnson to serve them. Polite, efficient, careful, painstaking, artistic, considerate, skilful and patient, are some of the personal attributes which added to the most elegant equipment, are reasons why people who want the best employ Mr. Johnson. * IN HONOR OF MRS.

Special to The Globe. Memphis, Tenn.—The Memphis Unions, the crack base ball organization of this city, has been wonderfully strengthened by the addition of three men who formerly played with Nashville and is now putting up a first-class article of ball playing. Eight games are scheduled with Birmingham, the first being played last Saturday, while the last will be played on the sixth of July. The first game of the series resulted in a victory for Memphis. The score being 3 to 2. Batteries: Memphis—Boone and Chitwood; Birmingham—Taylor and Horace. The second game, that of Sunday, proved a walkover for Memphis. They batted Patten all over the lot. London held his opponents at his mercy. Score: Memphis, 11; Birmingham, 1. Batteries—London and Lawson; Patten, Taylor and Macon. After completing this series Memphis will tour Texas. Henry Holder who has been playing with a local base ball club, has accepted a position with the Memphis Unions. Mr. Holder is holding down right field for the Unions and scoops up everything that comes into his territory. He also has his batting eye onto the game and is lining them out in every game. RAILWAY CLERKS' BALL TEAM. The Globe is in receipt of a post card which shows the faces of the members of the Railway Mail Clerk's Base Ball team of St. Louis, Mo. The Globe is indebted to Mr. W. Harding, of 4233 Cottage avenue, St. Louis, Mo., for this card. The team looks good on paper, and if appearance counts for anything the railway boys of St. Louis have one of the best base ball teams in the country. J. LEE STILL WINNING IN THE EAST. Jockey J. Lee, the little black whirl wind who was reputed last year by some of the leading race horse men in the West as an accident, is proving beyond doubt this season that the men who were knocking him were prejudiced or are very poor judges. At Concy Island last Saturday he won the applause of all admirers of real horsemanship who saw his masterly ride on Sir Martin in the classic Great Trial Stakes. Sir Martin, carrying the colors of John B. Madden, carried off first honors in the $25,000 Great Trial stakes. A length and a half away from Sir Martin was Fayette, his stable mate, and the Keene star, Helmet, was a head behind Fayette. The race was a bumping match from start to finish. The one most affected was Fayette, who was almost knocked to his knees coming around the bend. Helmet was the offender. As they swerved into the stretch, Helmet swerved towards the outer rail and carried Fayette, Robbin and Sir Martin with him. When they straightened out Helmet still kept bearing against Fayette and it looked as if the interference would cheat Madden out of the valuable nurse. When Lee, who rode Sir Martin, saw that the race was in jeopardy he shook up his mount and shaking his whip at his mount, he flew by the leaders and saved the day. Lee's generalship in this race was pronounced by the old followers of the course to be the best seen in the East for many years. This is the fourth consecutive stake in which the Madden pair has run one two, and in these events they have earned $60,000 for their owner. Third race, 6 furlongs—Sir Martin 129 (Lee), 2 to 5, won; Fayette 129 (Miller), 2 to 5, second; Helmet 122 (Notter), 5 to 2, third. Time, 1:12. Ros Fenton, Bobbin, Esperanta ran. * * * TWO NEGROES OH THE OLYMPIC TEAM. When the steamer carrying the American Olympic team to London pulled out from New York every Negro heart in this country who was cognizant of the fact that two members of their own race were in the list rejoiced that merit had been awarded. LeRoy Holmes, of the University of Chicago, and J. B. Taylor, of the University of Pennsylvania. America's prospects of winning the Olympic championship in track and field athletics in the stadium at London this month are now brighter than ever. The selections made by the American Olympic committee leave no room for criticism. The American team is a truly representative one, every part of the country, from Massachusetts to California and from Michigan to Texas, having members on it. College athletes, both graduate and undergraduates, hold an important place, and this will probably be pleasing to the Britons, for they know that these men belong to the highest class of amateurs, though it can safely be said that not a man on the Olympic team bears the slightest taint of professionalism. Of the seventy-six athletes picked to carry the Stars and Stripes it is hard to see where any bad mistakes were BLUE SERGE SUITS $3.95 Takes choice of $6 and $5 Men's Oxfords tan or black, all sizes and styles. $2.95 Men's Oxfordselections of $4 values—all styles and leatherts. $2.45 Men's Oxfordse-tans only, Greatest values ever known. Cheap at $3.50. HIRSHBERG BROTHERS made. There may be several men on the supplementary list who should change places with those on the first list, but even if they did it is hardly probable that it would add much to the point getting ability of the team as a whole. A careful comparison of the results of the American and British try-outs would seem to indicate that there are few events on the Olympic program in which our men will not score. Our greatest handicap will be the change in climatic conditions. The distance runners will suffer most, but these are the events in which we are weakest, and consequently the score will not be greatly affected. Records show that we have a good chance to win all the points in the dashes. The sprinting 'squad is the strongest this country or any other has ever mustered together. J. B. Taylor and Jack Atlee should take good care of the quarter-mile dash. SAVED WOMAN FROM ASSAULT. Brave Kentucky Colored Man Awarded Medal for Heroic Conduct Midway, Ky.—Friends of Mr. Geo. Wesley Combs, the colored man who went to the rescue of Miss Lula Powell and saved her from a brutal attack by a man, Sherman Powell, on May 1, will present him with a gold medal and a purse of money. The medal is on exhibition here. On one side it says: "Heroic Conduct Medal." On the other side "Presented to George Wesley Combs by the people of Woodford County, Kentucky for his heroic act in rescuing a young lady from assault on May 1, 1908." His act has been reported to the Carnegie Hero Commission. The medal and money are the gifts of the white residents of Woodford. Sherman Powell, the assailant, has been sent to the penitentiary for life on his confession. SUDDENLY PASSES AWAY. Miss Melissa Green, of Twelfth avenue, North, who was suddenly taken ill last Tuesday at two o'clock a. m., departed this life at 6 p. m., of the same day. She was a loving and affectionate young woman, and had a host of friends who will regret very much to hear of her sad death. She professed a hope in Christ eleven years ago and joined Mt. Zion Baptist Church, after which she became a member of the choir and a zealous Christian worker, taking an active part in everything that was of interest to her church. The funeral services were held Thursday afternoon, conducted by Rev. S. A. Mathews, assisted by Revs. Jones and Shelby. Miss Green was also a member of the Household of Ruth. She leaves to mourn her loss a mother, father, three sisters and two brothers, other relatives and a host of friends. The pall-bearers were Misses Willa B. Dodson, Hattie Jones, Fannie Austin, Carrie McGavock, Ella Rucker, Janie King, Lula Johnson and Willie Early. Interment was at Greenwood Cemetery. PRESIDENT MERRILL RESIGNS. News has been received at the Globe office that Dr. J. G. Merrill has resigned the presidency of Fisk University. Prof. I. V. Cobleigh was called over the telephone and asked as to the truth of the statement and he said it was true. He could not give any idea as to who would be his successor. No one seemed to have any knowledge of the intention until Dr. Merrill made the fact known at the general board meeting in New York. Shoes Louisville & Nashville R. R.
