THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FOURTH AN= "GOOD WILL NUAL SESSION TOWARD MEN" The State Grand Lodge of the Golden Star Society No. , convened in the hall of Society No. 3, Mt. Nebo, this city, Monday, December 14th, for a three days' sessions. The meeting was called to order by the acting chairman. Devotional exercises were conducted by the chaplain. Upon roll call delegates from different sections of the State answered to their names. Those present represented a constituency of several thousand. This society is one of the youngest in the State, having been organized by D. Davidson, in 1885. He is at present the Supreme Chancellor and Executive Advisor. While young, this is one of the most prosperous societies in the South, and is rapidly forging to the front. They own several magnificent halls in the city of Nashville, and wherever a society is organized they are encouraged to set about at once to purchase a lot and erect a meeting house. The officials of this organization are setting an example that is worthy of emulation in that they prepare themselves to be of service to their members. SPOKE FROM THE FAMILY WHEEL. "Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not." On Wednesday morning, just as the silvery moon was shining its face in the Western horizon, the death angel sounded the gong and the hands on the dial registered at James A. Johnson's name. The heart came to a standstill, the blood ceased to flow in the veins and the body was hushed in death. The spoke had been wrenched from its socket and the family wheel weakened. This bright and energetic son was a promising young man. He had by far led his classes while attending school at Fisk and would have finished the Normal Department at the age of 17 years. He spent two years in the mechanical department of the A. M. E. Sunday-School Union, where he had by his polite manners and conscientious services won the friendship of every employee as well as his employer. His death was deeply felt by these friends who had frequently visited his bedside. To the bereaved family we can say: Strive to overcome that human weakness and cease to sob, for there is consolation to know that you have the opportunity to meet him in the great beyond, where you can have a family reunion and know each other by name and there dwell forever. The Lord God of hosts, the Creator of heaven and earth, does many a thing that we might the better work out our own salvation. Thus it is for the best; for he is a just God. HON H. W. NOLEN. Much sympathy is being expressed for Hon. W. W. Nolen by his many friends. Besides suffering the death of his brother, Dr.J. Benjamin Nolen, both his sister and brother have undergone serious operations. Mr. Nolen is a man of exceptional educational standing, having received his early training in the public schools of Mississippi, then entering Tuskegee Institute. He next entered Walden University and graduated with the class of 1902, degree of LL. D. He entered the Burlitz School of Languages and Science in Pittsburg, Pa., graduating in 1905 with the degree of B. S., being the first colored graduate from the school. He entered Yale in the department of Law and Liberal Arts, pursuing a course which leads to the degree of D. C. L. Mr. Nolen when last seen expressed some doubt as to his being able to return to Yale this school year. He is a member of the class of which young Taft, son of President-elect Taft, and young Fairbanks, son of Vice President Fairbanks, are members. For two vacations he has filled the position of clerk in the First National Bank, Wall street, New York. Mr. Nolen is a conscientious Christian young man. He addressed the students of Pearl High School last Tuesday on "The Education that falls to educate." NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1908 A little red and white penny stamp about the size of a two-cent Government stamp, with its sprigs of holly, its red cross and its holiday legend of "Merry Christmas, Happy New Year," will claim a unique place in the great stamp family during the holidays, and will be welcomed by all lovers of Christmas as a fitting symbol of "good will to men." It is just a year since the Red Cross Christmas stamps were first used in America. The very spirit of Christmas thus shines over the year, and the little stamp is being eagerly looked for again. How can this little stamp arouse public interest and raise funds? Well, it can. It has—and the story of its origin is worth telling to all those who are interested in tuberculosis work. The Christmas stamp originated in Denmark; and as one of the smallest kingdoms in Europe began it, so one of the smallest States in the Union took it up. The Denmark stamp is a Government one, issued by the postoffice and with the King's head on it, and the one word Jul, which is Danish for "Yule," an Anglo-Saxon word for Christmas, and its annual sale has built and financed a hospital for tuberculosis children. The Christmas stamp in America could not be a Government stamp, for that would require an act of Congress. The Delaware Red Cross Society undertook its sale in America last December, and in three weeks the sales amounted to nearly 400,000 stamps, and nearly $3,000 of clear profit resulted. Delaware consumptives are now being nursed and fed from the proceeds of the sale of Christmas stamps of 1907. A tuberculosis dispensary with trained nurse and daily free supplies of milk and eggs has been in operation since January, in Wilmington. Sanitarium work is also being done for patients from all over the State. Philadelphia has taken up the work vigorously and one paper, the North American, sold 2,000,000 stamps from its own office. Kentucky is beginning a campaign, and the sale of stamps in Louisville the past few days has been remarkable. In Nashville the Red Cross Christmas stamps are being sold under the auspices of the Tennessee Federation of Women's Clubs, the health and civic departments taking the initiative. Every cent realized from their sale goes to aid the tuberculosis work in Tennessee. The women of Nashville are thoroughly aroused. Theirs is no half-hearted campaign. The work as directed from headquarters in the Stahlman building shows the results of heads, hearts and hands that are thinking, praying and doing for one of the noblest causes that Nashville women have ever concentrated their efforts upon. Let every kind of mail, letters and packages, carry the Red Cross Christmas messenger fast and far. The public heart has responded to it and The American wishes it Godspeed, for the spirit and the message of the Red Cross Christmas stamp is "Good will to men." The American will be glad to receive orders, accompanied by the mone, for the stamps, and will see that they are promptly sent. The price is 1 cent each.—Editorial from The American, December 6, 1908. PROF. M. L. JONES. Last week Nashville was favored with a visit by Prof. M. L. Jones, of Lewisburg, Tenn. Prof. Jones is one of the early graduates of Roger Williams, having finished in the class with the late Prof. W. L. Cansler. He has been out of Nashville continually, but has never lost interest in what was going on in the city. In reality, he is a pioneer educator. His visit to the city was strictly of a business nature, although he was passing among friends and renewing old acquaintances. CONCERT AT ST. JOHN.

Miss Mayme Allison is preparing the children of Mt. Nebo School for the Christmas tree on Monday night, December 28. There will be a Christmas entertainment given at Benevolent Hall No. 107, on Tuesday night. December 29. Rev. Tyre White is visiting his family at the residence of Rev. J. A. Miller. Miss Elsie Searcy, who has been quite ill for two weeks, is much improved MANY MILES IN AN AUTO Fifteen years ago if one had said that it was possible for a man to travel thirteen thousand miles in an automobile over rugged, rough country, through rivers and brooklets, low places and marshes, plains and plateaux, they would no doubt be judged insane and immediately sent to an insane asylum, but the present century brings many strange, yet true, and startling facts to light. There is visiting in this city a young man, who eight years ago was termed a Nashville boy. It was about that time that he took to the automobile idea. Resolving to become an expert chauffeur, he went to Chicago, where he learned much about his chosen vocation. He traveled much in the country. He made one trip covering a distance of 13,000 miles overland in a "Thomas Flyer Auto." He started out from Chicago and went to Cincinnati, from Cincinnati to Detroit, from Detroit to French Lick Springs, Ind., without meeting one serious accident or without any extra damage to the car. Mr. Earl Gordon is here visiting his mother-in-law, of 1209 Pearl street. He is accompanied by his wife, and they will remain until spring. He also has other distinctions to his credit, having taken part in the great Marathon race in 1907, under the auspices of the Chicago Athletic Club. He was the only Negro to enter the race. The distance of the running was 25 miles. There were 37 entries, 21 of this number finished. He was 17 in the race, his time being 4 hours, 5 minutes, 2 seconds. While here Mr. Gordon will practice for the prize ring, as he is looked upon as one of the coming pugilists. STEWARDESS' BOARD. The Senior Stewardess' Board of Jackson Temple met Monday evening, December 14, at 3 o'clock. The meeting was well attended; collection, 60 cents. The ladies have planned to have electric lights installed in the basement and Sundayschool room before the holidays. The Board adopted the following resolutions on the death of Miss Margaret Rutledge: Whereas, Since the last meeting of the Senior Stewardess' Board of Jackson Temple Church, Miss Margaret Rutledge, Treasurer of said Board and one of its most honored members, has died; and, Whereas, During her lifetime her zeal and energy in behalf of the Board were so helpful to it; therefore Resolved by the members of the Board in meeting assembled, That this Board by her death has lost a prudent, loyal officer; the church and Sunday-school a faithful and earnest worker, who was a valuable factor in its affairs, and that the members of the church, Sunday-school and Stewardess' Board personally have been deprived of the advice and assistance of a diligent, active associate and fellow-counsellor, upon whose judgment it was always safe to rely. Resolved, further, That we hereby tender to the members of the Board, church, Sunday-school and her many friends, in their sad bereavement, our heartfelt sympathy and condolence. Resolved, further, That a copy of these resolutions be sent by the Secretary to the Christian Index, Jackson, Tenn., and the Nashville Globe, our city paper, with the request that they publish them, and further, that they be spread upon the minutes of this meeting of the Board.

W. Wills, the Postmaster of this city, will deliver the following interesting and instructive address to school children and students in the colleges that make Nashville what is today an educational center, hence the proper place to begin to disperse such knowledge. "The Honorable Postmaster-General has directed postmasters to confer with school authorities with the view of adopting the most effective method of instructing students and school children as to the organization and operations of the postal service, covering such features of the service, as the delivery of mails; the classification of mail matter; registry and money order system, and, particularly the proper addressing of letters, and the importance of placing return cards on envelopes. Personal talks by postmasters to the pubils are suggested, and they are to give teachers access to the postal guide and the postal laws and regulations and render every assistance in securing the necessary information. "As Nashville's postmaster, I will take great pleasure in introducing this measure, and as an evidence of the necessity for so doing, I submit some very important facts bearing on the subject: "The report of the Director of Dead Letters for the year 1907 shows that there were sent to said office during the year 13,005,255 pieces of mail matter, and of this number 76,724 pieces inclosed negotiable paper, money orders, etc., to an apparent value of $2,018,076.36, and currency to the amount of $67,715.69. The department was able to secure the delivery of 5,225,792 pieces of the above mail, which, exclusive of printed documents and cards, amounted to about 50 per cent. $20,767.01 of the money ($67,714.69, found in the mail) could not be identified nor delivered to either the addresssee or the sender, hence, was forever lost to the senders. "We sent from the Nashville office during the same year to the dead letter office 25,251 pieces of mail which we had received for delivery, but which we were unable to deliver, and because the letters bore no return card we could not return to the writer. In addition to this number sent to the dead letter office, we were able to deliver from one to two hundred pieces a month, of poorly addressed letters, but which bore the sender's address, and to whom we sent a card asking for a better address, which was supplied us, thus showing the carelessness in addressing the mail in the first instance "There were mailed at this office during the year 100,312 pieces of "nixie" mail, that is to say, mail insufficiently or poorly addressed or bearing no postage, and which could not, therefore be forwarded to destination; 66,543 pieces of this mail bore the sender's card, and we were therefore able to return same. Our clerks were able to correct and supply the proper address on 8,376 pieces; 18,008 pieces were held for postage and the addresses notified that by sending the necessary stamps same would be forwarded, and only about 50 per cent. sent the necessary postage, and the mail was forwarded; 6,213 pieces were sent to the dead letter office and 1,172 pieces of printed matter was disposed of as waste paper. "Thus it will be seen that through the ignorance or carelessness of our people one hundred thousand pieces of mail matter was delayed in dispatch, and a considerable portion failed completely of delivery "This being the condition in the Nashville postoffice, what must it be in the larger offices of the country? In the Cincinnati, O., postoffice there were handled one year in the mailing and delivery divisions 1,476,000 misdirected letters, and the postmaster appealed to Dr. R. G. Boone, Superintendent of Public Schools, and asked if a letter setting forth the conditions, could not be read to the pupils in the public schools, so as to awaken a dismition to exercise more care in adverting letters, which was not confined alone to ignorant people, but in apny instances to people of educaDor. Many examples of carelessness and address were submitted to Dr. De one, a few of which, taken from the I day's mail, forcibly illustrated abuse, namely: pistol. ood postoffices, addressed to thing g state. To street and state, but postoffice. To street and postoffice. To street and postver, and no state. To state, but no nuts, ce. To postoffice, but no Name but no address. With the postoffice name, and name y, as "J. C. Page, Laura Furunty, Ky," which should read: Page, Laura Furnace, Trigg De Ky." With of party yeare of postoffice. Name of postbig name of party. Typewritten THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1908. addresses misspelled, for instance: "J. H. Hilparis, Ky," should have been: "J. Hill, Paris, Ky," "M. $7," should be "M. Liebenthaler." "John Henry, Docksburg, Ky," should be "John Henry, Docksbury, Ky." Many letters were received without any address; some with special delivery stamps, but, worst of all, bad writing by good and bad writers which could not be deciphered or passed upon. Postmaster Monfort of Cincinnati suggested to Dr. Boone that if he could impress upon the 50,000 pupils in public schools the great importance of carefully addressing letters, this information could be carried by them to their parents and others, and would be a great public service, both to the government and the people. Dr. Boone responded promptly and effectively. He called his 900 teachers together and read them the letter, and instructed them to give fifteen minutes' time each week to special instruction on the question of addressing mail. If these instructions could be given in all the schools of the country and the children impressed with the importance of special care, this process of education would bring marvelous results to the country. "At the postoffice in Nashville we average in pieces of mail delivered by carriers, and through the general delivery, some 70,000 pieces daily, and we dispatch daily about 240,000 pieces, hence at a glance the necessity can be seen of addressing letters properly, giving full name of addresses, postoffice, county and state; if a city, street and number, and en upper left hand corner, writing name and address of sender, to insure return of letter if same cannot be delivered, the postage stamp always to be placed on the right hand corner of the envelope. "The blackboard should be used to illustrate a properly addressed letter. The school is the nursery of the Nation, and impressions made in youth are generally lasting. "A very important matter for consideration is addressing letters intended for local delivery to 'City.' This should never be done; frequently they stick to letters addressed to other cities and upon arrival become separated from the letter and presumably intended for that city, where they remain for thirty days and are sent to the Dead Letter office unless the envelope bears a return card. The custom of writing 'city' is almost universal, and should be abandoned and the full name of the office written. "As postmaster I will be glad to receive principals and teachers and pupils at any time and show them the workings of the postal service. It will prove a schol of instruction that will be indelibly impressed upon their minds for all time to come." A CONDITION THAT IS PREVA- LENT AMONG A LARGE NUM- BER OF GLOBE READERS. Are You One of Them? There are quite a number of readers of the Nashville Globe who have not paid their subscription during 1908, in fact, some of them have read the Globe every issue with possibly a few exceptions since it first appeared on the horizon as a newspaper, and yet they have never paid one year's subscription. Of course, it was not because they did not intend to pay—many of them wanted to pay, quite a number of them will pay, but simply because we have not sent a colector with a bill to them they have put the matter off until this good day, we believe the moment they see this matter in the paper they will send in their money. We hope they will not change their mind before they can get to the postoffice or before they can write and mail us a check for their subscription. If you don't know how much it is, send us something. The clerk will credit your account with whatever amount is received at the office. A newspaper like the Globe cannot run without money.

Church met at its regular monthly meeting Friday, November 20 at the residence of Mrs. Gregory, 906 Cedar street. A large number were present and the following programme was rendered: Remarks by Mrs. F. E. Clark, Mrs. McCauley, Mr. G. W. Howard, Miss Emma Johnson; paper by Mrs. Carrie Scruggs; remarks by Mr. G. W. Harvey and Mrs. Sarah Eulis. Collection was then taken from the Almanac. Refreshments were served and a vote of thanks was returned to Mrs. Gregory for her hospitality. The Almanac then adjourned to meet the third Friday in December at the residence of Mrs. Belle Glover, No. 1816 Thompson street. MRS MARY RANDALS, Pres. MISS S. V. HASKINS, Sec. NEGRO CONGRESS ON TUBERCULOSIS. First Health Exhibition for the Race Tuskegee, Ala.—A "health exhibition," the first ever devoted wholly to the welfare of Negroes, will be held here beginning Monday, December 14th and concluding Saturday, December 19th. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis will send its traveling exhibit known as the American Tuberculosis Exhibition. An extensive program of illustrated addresses, platform meetings and conferences will be conducted by a strong local committee under the direction of an advisory board including representative colored men and women in all parts of the country. Without undue laboration the program will be along the lines of the recent International Congress on Tuberculosis at Washington. Practically a Negro Congress on Tuberculosis or consumption will be held for the study and prevention of that dread disease. In addition to the medical sessions the program will give particular attention to the general topics discussions at Washington as they relate to the colored race. Meetings will be held for ministers, teachers and physicians, and for representatives of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association, Colored Young Women's Christian Association, colored women's clubs, Negro Business Leagues, school improvement associations, etc. Popular stereopticon talks will be given for the people generally and for the school children. The general advisory board represents the influential men and women of the race in many states. Strong local committees have been appointed and special effort will be made to secure delegates and individual visitors from many cities. Churches, societies, schools and colleges are urged to send delegates. Detailed programs will be announced soon. The American Tuberculosis Exhibition which has been shown in three countries will be displayed in commodious quarters on the grounds of Tuskegee Institute. A "Health Week" is announced to begin Sunday, December 13 on which day it is requested that a. colored churches, Sunday Schools and young people's meetings everywhere will give special attention to the "gospel of good health and right living." During the week it is hoped that local societies and clubs of colored people throughout the country will hold at least one meeting to discuss tuberculosis or consumption and how to keep well. Every one who is interested and will help in any fashion as well as those expecting to be present are urged to correspond with Dr. John A. Kenney, secretary local committee, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. MEHARRY NOTES. Again the stealthy, unwelcome messenger has visited us and has taken away from our midst one of our brightest and most hopeful. After a lingering illness of seven days consequent upon an operation for appendicitis, Mr. J. W. Hastings, of Pulaski, Tenn., and a member of the senior medical class, departed this life December 8th amid the tears of loved ones. During the operation it was seen that his recovery, if such there should be, would be a miraculous one. The vermiform appendix after being most skillfully removed was examined and found to gangrenous to a great degree; knowing the attending danger, no pains were spared by both surgeon and nurses to offset if possible what even then appeared to be an inevitable end. During his confinement the untiring faithfulness of his nurses, classmates and friends was the subject of much comment. Hoping against fate, every precaution was taken for his much-desired recovery, but the damage had been done and with that satisfactory expression upon his face seen only in the Saviour's truly elect ed he slept to wake no more. Mr. Hastings matriculated in Meharry Medical College in the fall of 1903 and would have finished with the class of 1907, but circumstances forced him to remain out of school for two years after completing his junior year. He entered school this scholastic year and would have finished with the class of '09 but for the unexpected. The class upon learning of his death tendered his body a beautiful floral wreath. The obsequies were held at the Meharry Auditorium and befitting addresses were made by Drs. G. W. Hubbard, Jno. Kumler and R. F. Boyd, after which a set of resolutions were read, drawn up by a specially appointed committee of the senior medical class as follows: Whereas, The Almighty God in His wise providence has seen fit to take from our midst Mr. J. W. Hastings, who was a member of the senior Old Santa As Well As Ourselves Invite you to make our store your headquarters during Holiday times.

Specialist ```markdown ``` 88 A man who thinks is a busy man. When he is young his mind naturally goes out after the galeties of the world. He likes sports and sometimes he so conducts himself in a way that makes even his friends call him "sporty." If he is any part of a man he likes society. He delights to see the fair sex happy, and will without urging contribute his share to the happiness of the ladies. And it is during this period in a man's life that he acts; he believes he is thinking and he makes a selection. He wooes and wins—he gets married and then he really thinks of "settling down." He begins to study the surroundings. Where shall I live? What are the inducements for living in this or that city? Are the people agreeable and are the conveniencies conducive to the happiness that every man seeks for his family? In this age the thoughtful man seeks to know if the specialists are located there, for this is the age of the specialist. And in this particular respect Nashville leads all cities in the South, and especially so as it concerns the Negro, for they have what the Negroes in no other city in this country have, namely, a Negro physician who is a genuine medical specialist. Dr. C. V. Roman, who has been in this city for several years, with offices in Napler Court, is the only Negro in the United States doing a limited practice. Dr. Roman ranks among the leading specialists. He was born in Pennsylvania, but moved to Canada in early boyhood, where he was reared and educated. He graduated with high honors from Hamilton Collegiate Institute in Canada, but met the same barrier that confronts so many young men as they emerge from college—race prejudice. None of the lucrative positions that await the young men who are prepared for high service awaited him. A problem—What can I do to employ my mind and render the service which I have prepared myself to render? The doors of opportunity all being closed to him in Canada, he turned his face southward. Dr. Roman found abundant opportunity here and lost no time in coming to Tennessee. He taught school several years, part of the time in the city of Nashville. While there he studied medicine in Meharry Medical College. He graduated from that institution with honors, after which he practiced medicine in Tennessee and Texas. While doing a general practice, Dr. Roman had his mind set on a limited practice, realizing that the demands for specialists were becoming more and more urgent. He, therefore, went to Chicago, where he took a post course in the Post Graduate Medical School. This is one of the leading institutions in the world for instruction in diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. Dr. Roman believes in striving to the highest attainments, and in 1904 he went to London, England, and there studied in three of the leading hospitals in the old world, namely: "The Royal London Ophthalmic Hospitals," which holds its clinics in the morning. This is the oldest eye hospital in the world. They average over four hundred patients a day the year round. Many of the greatest eye men of the world have been connected with this institution. Second, "The Central London Throat and Ear Hospital," which holds its clinics in the afternoon. This is also an immense institution. Third, "The London Hospital for Diseases of Nose and Throat." where they hold night clinics. Re- Have You Catarrh? Do Your Eyes Trouble You? Do You Need Glasses?

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25. 1908 THE OCTOBER 18, 1900 Occulist and Aurist—Post Graduate of the Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital and the Central London Nose, Throat and Ear Hospital, London, England. Lecturer in the Meharry Medical College and Oculist and Aurist, Fisk University. Dr. Roman, who is a regularly educated physician of wide experience, limits his practice to diseases of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat. If you have Catarrh or any trouble with your Eyes, Ears, Nose or Throat, it will pay you to consult him. Spectacles and Eye-Glasses Scientifically adjusted. sides the work in these hospitals he took special lectures from the most eminent men in the special practices. Dr. Roman is a very affable man and made many friends among the leading specialists, who took delight in showing him every courtesy possible. He completed his studies and received a special high mark in efficiency. He returned to the States and to his home in Texas, but was finally persuaded to locate in Nashville in order that the hundreds of graduates going out from Meharry Medical College might have advantage of his superior lectures. So, as stated above, the Negroes of Nashville have a special advantage over the Negroes of any other city in this country in that they have in their midst the only Negro physician doing a medical and surgical practice limited to the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, and one, too, who ranks with the best in the country. Dr. Roman has all of the most modern appliances, and is prepared to give and does give as good service as any specialist in the city. No Negro is compelled to go into a white doctor's office from the alley and wait until all of the white patients have been served and then take second-class treatment, but they can go in the front door at Dr. Roman's office in Napier Court and receive first-class service. A gentleman who called in to see this eminent specialist not long since, said to him: "Why, doctor, you have more different kinds of instruments than any man I ever saw. You will never have need for all of them." "Some of them," said he, "I will not use once in five years; but when I do need them, I need them badly." It is possible that most people do not consider how necessary it is that special attention be given the special senses if the health would be preserved. Some facts not generally known probably would not be out of place here. Dullness and stupidity in school children is often caused by some defect of hearing or seeing. Some apparently trifling disease of the nose or throat may be the beginning of some fatal malady: asthma may come from some disease of the nose; consumption from neglected throat trouble; deafness from either a diseased nose or throat, or both; meningitis and death from disease of the ear; headache and brain disease from the eyes, etc. These are all very delicate organs, and only the skillful and specially trained are able to properly treat them. OFFICE OF DR. C. V. ROMAN, Educate of the Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital, London, England. Lecturer in the M and Oculist and Aurist, Fisk University early educated physician of wide experience, If you have Catarrh or any trouble with your cles and Eye-Glasses Scientifically adjusted Dr. Roman has a record of 95 per cent of success in fitting glasses, while 80 per cent is conceded to be a highwater mark. Out of the first five hundred cases he fitted here four hundred and seventy-five were satisfactory and the others were satisfied eventually. *** A HOPEFUL SIGN. The death rate is much higher among Colored people than among white people in the same locality. This is not caused by the superior vitality of the white race, but because they pay more attention to acute diseases, especially diseases of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat. Diseases of these organs are often the starting point of fatal maladies. A hopeful sign of the times is the fact that the race has produced at least one real Medical Specialist. Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn., is such a one. After fifteen years' successful experience in the practice of medicine and surgery, and special courses in the Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital and the Central London Nose, Throat and Ear Hospital of London, England, he accepted the professorship of Diseases of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat in Meharry Medical College of the above named city. Dr. Roman is a doctor of philosophy as well as a doctor of medicine. He has a well equipped office and is giving his entire attention to diseases of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat. The successful way in which he fits glasses, cures catarrh and deafness, and manages the various complicated treatments and operations on these delicate organs is truly a HOPEFUL SIGN FOR THE RACE. *** Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn., to whose visit we last week referred conducted a three days' clinic, at the Institute Hospital, during which time he treated cases of special diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. He also fitted several pairs of glasses, and with the assistance of Dr. J. A. Kenney, our Resident Physician, performed two very delicate operations on the throat. While here he spoke very acceptably in the Chapel during its regular Sunday evening service and also addressed the nurses of the Institute's Hospital.—The Tuskegee Student. A GREAT MAN MISTAKEN. The poet Byron says: "The tree of Knowledge is not that of life." Dr. C. V. Roman, the eminent and successful Negro Specialist on Diseases of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, of Nashville, Tenn., says that Byron is wrong when he implies that knowledge will not prolong life. The doctor thinks that Shakespeare came nearer the truth when he said: "By Medicine life may be prolonged, But death will get the doctor, too." Dr. Roman says neglect of the organs of special sense is one fruitful source of the high death rate among colored people. He has prevented many a case of consumption by the TIMELY AND PROPER TREATMENT OF THE NOSE and throat *** NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITY The great German philosopher and poet, Goethe, thus discourses upon the disinclination of mankind generally to make use of their opportunities: "If we reflect upon the number of men we have seen and known and consider how little we have been to them and they to us, what must our feelings be? We meet the man of genius without conversing with him, with the scholar without learning from him, with the traveller without gaining information from him, with the amiable man without making ourselves agreeable to him. And this, alas, happens not merely with passing acquaintances; societies and families conduct themselves similarly towards their dearest members, cities toward their worthiest citizens, peoples towards their most excellent princes, and nations towards their most eminent men." Your correspondent visited the well equipped offices of Dr. C. V. Roman, Oculist and Aurist, in Nashville, Tenn., and was astonished at what he saw. After this visit and talking with the doctor, whose patients are well-nigh unanimous in their praise of him, your correspondent was at a loss to understand why so many colored people accept the back doors, impolite and unskillful treatment of white specialists when they have a man of first-class ability and equipment in their own race. Did Goethe have our people in mind when he wrote the above?-National Baptist Union, Nashville, Tenn. 8 88 A PROPHECY LITERALLY FUL- FILLED. Modern science testifies to Scriptural Truth. "The eyes of the blind shall be opened," said the prophet Isaiah. A reporter of this paper was astonished the other day to see how completely the skilled oculist can demonstrate the wisdom of this holy sage. By medical treatment and the adjustment of glasses Dr. Roman, the colored Oculist and Aurist of Nashville, Tenn., transferred a little girl from a blind school to the public school. By a surgical operation wonderful in its delicacy and minuteness he restored vision to a woman who had been led about for five years. These and many other things which the reporter learned about Dr. Roman and his work filled the newspaper man with admiration at the literal fulfillment of prophecy: "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened." *** EXTRACTS FROM HEALTH PAPERS PY DR. C. V. ROMAN. The brain is the organ of thought. The brain acts from external stimulation and from no other known cause. Cerebration within the cranium depends upon stimulation from without. Deprive the brain of communication with the external world and it ceases to functionate. The individual thus afflicted can no longer think. The organs of sense are the means by which the brain learns of (feels, if we are strictly etymological) its environment. It is evident, then, that a person deficient in any of the sense organs is handicapped in intellectual development. — Southwestern Christian Advocate, July 26, 1906. * * * The eye is the organ of sight. The function of the eyes, therefore, constitutes one of the special senses. Vision is claimed by many to be the most important of the special senses. Be that as it may, I will not argue about the relative rank of the different senses, but will assume that all intelligent people value their eyes. Presuming that my feelings in this matter represent humanity generally, I give the following facts for the guidance of those interested but without opportunity for original investigation.—Southwestern Christian Advocate, August 2, 1906. *** The ear is the organ of hearing and is the most complicated and difficult to study of all the organs of special sense. Considered from a structural or anatomical standpoint, the ear is divided into three parts: An external ear, a middle ear, and an internal ear. The external ear consists of what we can see and usually call "the "ears," and a canal leading up to the external drum-head (called by the laity the "drum of the ear"). The middle ear is an irregular cavity lying between the external and internal ears. It is the tympanum or drum of the ear proper. It is so called from its resemblance to a drum. The internal ear lies deeply imbedded in the hardest piece of bone in the human body, called petrous (like a rock), because of its rock-like appearance. This petrous portion of the temporal bone forms part of the base of the skull and lies immediately beneath the brain.—Southwestern Christian Advocate, September 6, 1908.

THE TAFT ADMINISTRATION On Thursday, March 4, 1909, a new Republican administration of national affairs will replace the old regime. We trust that the new pilot who steps on the bridge and takes the helm to steer the old Ship of State will give to the country and all of its citizenship alike a just and wise administration. His great ability as a statesman has been thoroughly demonstrated by the eminent services, in different capacities, he has rendered his country and we trust that those services will find full fruition and fitting complement in those he shall render as President. Mr. Taft's well-balanced and judicially trained mind has had unusual opportunities in the school of international statesmanship, and he comes to his exalted station as Chief Executive of the Nation prepared to the minute for the performance or discharging of its high duties. He has worked his way up to the position of highest honor and trust within the gift of the people by his untiring energy and unswerving adherence to right principles. It is not reasonable to put down as an incontrovertible hypothesis that Mr. Taft is going to follow servilly in his administration the beaten path of any predecessor; but, in the heat and contention of the recent strenuous campaign, such was asserted with all the force of emphasis within the gift of his opponents. Without attempting to enter into any extended comparison of Abraham Lincoln and Mr. Taft, it will not be out of the way to say a word about what was true of the one and what may likely be true of the other. When Mr. Lincoln entered upon his administration there were three men, Sewpard, Stanton and Hamlin, in his official family, whom a great many amousands of the people of the countryside as well as the men themselves, ought would virtually be the action force of the governmant or, in other words, the over behind the throne; but all came gradually and surprisers to a realization of the fact that Lincoln, and not his secretaries, work the President of the United States. And what was true of Mr. in all probability, will be of Mr. Taft. hope for the incoming adminis- every success.

PROSPECTIVE DEMOCRATIC ROW When members who shall compose the next General Assembly of the State of Tennessee meet to effect a working organization of that body for the transaction of the people's business, there is going to be a Democratic powwow with all kinds of sensational variations. Yes, there is trouble ahead and plenty of it, and when our Solons—the local self-government faction and the state-widers—join battle on the "hill" to try out their strength for supremacy as to which side shall control legislation, there is going to be "a hot time" in this old town—that day. The political air is full of mutterings—deepmouthed and ominous. The cloud which appeared on the horizon no bigger than a man's hand when the prohibition agitation was started, has overspread the whole Democratic sky with an almost impenetrable gloom through which that party, erstwhile vain and triumphant, can now scarcely find its way. The prohibition movement has upset all Democratic precedents and thrown that party into almost hopeless confusion, and the bitterest animosity and passions have been aroused by the stubborn contest that is being waged for the control of legislation, specifically with reference to the liquor traffic. That the party is on the brink of disruption or a great radical upheaval there is, from all indications, little doubt. It will take the best efforts of the party's greatest leaders to effect anything like a tentative compromise. This Democratic family row has been stirred up over the saloon as the bone of contention, and to those who are and can only spectators it will be interesting while it lasts. The colored citizenship has had no hand in bringing about this state of things. There were many of them who favored Gov. Patterson, but that was because he had, in their opinion, made a splendid executive. It was for that reason, rather than any political issue in which they had no participation, that they desired to see him win. With a slight change of phraseology the words of one of Shakespeare's characters would appropriately size up the present Democratic situation thus: O Democracy, now is the winter of thy discontent. A WHOLESALE MURDERER That fellow Latura, the wholesale murderer who walked into a colored saloon in Memphis and coolly pulling his pistol deliberately shot to death four men without warning or provocation, is now playing the insane racket game. When arraigned recently in the Criminal Court he refused to say a word as to why he had committed his dastardly crime. Usually when a Negro takes a single life, not to say two or three, every old lexicon, dictionary, or reference book is brought into requisition that suitable nouns and qualifying adjectives may be found by which to flay him. But none of the unusual scurrilous language used toward Negro criminals is found in the press reports of the hellish deed of that Memphis "angel." Had he not cheated the gallows by being freed of the responsibility for two prior murders, it would now be a physical impossibility for him to stand charged for four others, of which he is likely to be freed on account of his victims being Negroes, after which he can go on slaughtering them till the crack of doom, whatever that may mean. Another bond issue of $200,000 is to be strapped upon the people of Davidson County as vitally necessary for the completion of the two bridges in course of construction across the Cumberland River in this city. The first estimate of $800,000 must be raised to $1,000,000 it is said, if the work is to be done in a first-class manner. Of course the legislature will have to pass an enabling act authorizing the issuance of the additional bonds. If we do not pay these bonds coming generations will be compelled to pay them. What matters it then if we can keep up the interest until we answer the final roll call? Such legacies have come to us, and a rule that does not work both ways is no rule at all. Let the bonds be issued so that the two new gateways between the two Nashvilles may be opened to traffic. Gen. Antoine Simon, the leader of the revolutionary forces against the Nord Alexis regime, was Sunday, December 20, inducted into the high office of President of the Republic of Hayti. In taking the oath he pledged his administration to a faithful adherence to the constitution and laws of the country. If he does his duty he will inaugurate a policy which will develop the agricultural and commercial interests of the Republic. Such a course will be to his credit, and a permanent benefit to his long-disturbed country. We hope for the little Republic under its new executive lasting peace and prosperity. Gov. Patterson won the highest respect and esteem of the colored people of this community when he exercised his veto power to kill the bill whose chief and only aim was to deprive them of the privileges of a pleasure resort. The whites had not only one but many breathing places to which they could repair for recreation. To have allowed such a measure to become a law without entering his official objection would have been a hardship, without any justification of reason, on one portion of the people of the old Volunteer State of which he is Chief Executive. He would not stand sponsor for that unwarranted piece of selfishness. The Tuberculosis Congress which was held at Tuskegee during several days of last week was a right step in the right direction. It means that the great White Plague, which was unknown to our fathers, but which is making frightful inroads on their descendants, is to be fought by all the medical skill and sanitary knowledge of the Negro people. This issue of The Globe will come to you on Christmas Day, and it wishes for all the same benign benediction contained in the song heard by the shepherds nineteen hundred 'years ago on the Judean hillside, when the angels sang, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." We cannot say but that it may be a part of the inscrutable scheme of things that there are those in high places who are too narrow and self-flattering to practice their own hypocritical preachments and allow the "door of hope" to swing outward as well as inward to their fellow countrymen as it does for themselves. There are Theodores and Theodores—Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Burton, the one a President and the other a Representative, and both are after Senator Foraker's job. the former out of revenge and the latter for what there is in it. May they both thrive not. The coiner of the phrase "square deal" would do well to adhere to it as one of the cardinal virtues underlying his dealings with his fellows. It should be used for other motives and purposes than mere exploitation. In establishing the censorship over the press it is probable that the court at Union City is preparing to imitate the tribunals of old presided over by the gods whose mills ground slowly, but ground exceedingly fine. BIGGER THAN EVER. A Sunday School Commentary That is Worthy of Note. There is being mailed out in large numbers the 1909 issue of the National Baptist Sunday School Lesson Commentary. The book this year runs over four hundred pages and is easily the superior of any of its predecessors. It seems that the members of the National Baptist Publishing Board have doubled their energy and their efforts to make this book what the Sunday School superintendert, teachers and advanced scholars need, a complete, suggestive, illustrated and comprehensive commentary on the lessons. Not only this, but it is evident that the book is of invaluable service to ministers of the gospel. It aids in the preparation of their sermons by the facts and the Biblical research to be found within it. The contents of the book are the preface, Sunday School methods, introduction for each quarter and an introduction to each lesson. There is an exposition following the lessons with special truths gleaned from the lesson, hints for the primary teachers with an array of questions. There are three beautiful colored maps. Most of the lessons are illustrated. Attention will no doubt be attracted to the lesson of March 7, 1909, subject, "Philip and the Ethiopian." There is a picture on page 82 showing Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch as they ride in a chariot draw by two horses. No doubt this is the first time that the International Series of Sunday School Lessons have attempted to bring out the real Ethiopian, portraying him in a dark skin. The cloth-bound volumes of the Commentary sell for 75 cents and half morocco bound fore one dollar by mail. Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL. D., the editor, and Rev. W. S. Ellington, B. A., D. D., associate editor, have wonderfully outstripped the times and commended themselves to the Sunday School people by the presentation of such a magnificent work. DOLLS ALL THE YEAR. The Negro Doll Company Announces Its Plan For the New Year. Most progressive business concerns begin to make preparations for the New Year, or for the next season, long before the other one expires. This is especially true with well regulated concerns. The Negro Doll Company of this city has enjoyed a tremendous patronage, having sent dolls to the leading cities in all parts of the United States, from the extreme North, up into Michigan in one direction, to the most Southern part of Florida in another direction; from Massachusetts on the East to San Francisco, Cal., on the West and Spokane, Wash., in the Northwest. They propose to make extensive preparations and begin for the coming season of 1900-1910. The people throughout have manifested the greatest interest in this company. Letters have come in by the hundreds endorsing the idea and commending the more, so much so that the company has perfected plans by which every home throughout the country can have a doll. Not every person will be satisfied even though they do not have a doll during the holidays. The orders will come in and be filled all during the month of January. There will be a large supply of dolls on hand during the first of the year to meet these demands. The Negro is fast learning to order what he wants and await its arrival. One new feature of the doll idea is that the people have waited with patience the filling of their orders so that there are dolls in the home, as a silent, but constant companion to the children which is a satisfaction to the mother and a pleasure to the father. FORTY YEARS HOTELS Forty years of actual service with not more than ten days of absence from duty on account of sickness or pleasure, with a record that has not been surpassed if equaled. This remarkable fact was brought out last week by a Globe reporter who was in conversation with Mr. C. A. Allen, of 138 Fourteenth avenue, North Hardee street). Mr. Allen has this envious record to his credit. He is practically the best known hotel man among travelling men in the city of Nashville. He and the late Mr. George Hooper began work about the same time. Mr. Allen has put in thirty-five years at the Tulane. He is a man of sterling quality, having the respect and esteem of every management that has been in charge of this establishment. He is a devout churchman, being one of the oldest members of the Spruce Street Baptist Church. Aside from this, he has reared a family that is creditable. Few men nowadays can point back to such a record. He began his services in Nashville at the time when many eyes were turned on this city. The success that has met his efforts is shown when he will remember the amount of happiness and prosperity enjoyed by himself and family. MISS NANNIE BURROUGHS. Arrangements are being made with the view of getting Miss N. H. Burroughs, of Louisville, Ky., to speak in Nashville. She has never given Nashville an official visit, hence her friends are urging that she come here early next year. If necessary arrangements can be made, she will possibly be induced to give one of her lectures in the city. SOCIETY BADGES All Styles and Prices. MEMBER LOCAL No.1 IU.J.H. NEW YORK.NY.

NASHVILLE, TENN YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE MOST CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND OUR GRAND FOR- MAL RE-OPENING ON FRI- DAY, JANUARY 1, 1909. For the past three months carpent- ters, masons, mechanics and decorators have been converting the old most modern and complete Undermansion at 422 Cedar street into the HARGRAVE HARDRAIL A. N. Johnson's New Building. taking Establishment in this country. Those who have noted this ancient landmark of Nashville, one of the most valuable pieces of property, never dreamed that at any time it would become the possession of a Negro, whose magic touch would restore it to its ancient splendor for the service of the race. The place could plainly and appropriately be termed "The Restoration." In other days fortunate and favored were the Negroes who were allowed to gaze on the splendors of festal occasions in that mansion and it was never contemplated that their walls would echo their tread except in an attitude of servility; but today the spacious parlor on the first floor has been converted into a Ladies' Parlor and Resting Room as beautifully decorated in an ante-bellum days. Here the tired shopper can come and rest and be free from offense as at those places where our women are not wanted longer than they have made settlement for their purchases. There is not a picture nor a sign to indicate that the parlor is the part of an undertaking place. Immediately opening into the rear parlor is the most unique and appropriate chapel, where both elegance and simplicity are employed. The walls are adorned with sacred pictures, among which are "The Lowly Nazarene" and "The Blesed Virgin," priceless treasures formerly presented to Mr. Johnson by the sainted Mother Catherine Drexel, daughter of the million- THE FIRE 1 Massive Ebony Full Carved Panelled Funeral Car. 1909. aire banker, Mr. Drexel, of Philadelphia, the good woman who renounced the world with its glitter and pageantry and gave her life and millions to the education and Christianization of the Negro and Indian youth of this country. Here services are held and the remains of loved ones repose until time for funeral for such whose homes are in convenient or for bodies coming from distant cities. is nu h w n o O H t a s h o t t o In the rear of the Chapel is a large, spacious Show-room, where all grades of caskets from the cheapest to high prices are exhibited in automatic folding, golden oak cabinets—the most beautiful of any shown in any private undertaking establishment in the country and equal to those employed in the finest factories North or South. Here the patrons are shown the formation and styles of caskets, the colors and effects in color combinations, the finish and texture and, in fact, exhibit in every detail what a person can buy without the use of the misleading catalogue, which gives you the smallest idea of styles you buy and nothing as to quality in texture. The walls are beautifully decorated and lighted brilliantly as day. The eastward room is glass-cased, where children as well as adult caskets are shown in state, royal shrine, canopy, couch, half-shrine, drop side and the personal creations of Mr. Johnson. An adjoining room is still employed for the exhibition of caskets of elegance, so that we carry in stock and on exhibition more caskets than any three undertakers in the entire country, besides dresses, robes, gowns, etc. One of the particular and valuable features of our establishment is a complete morgue for the care, preparation and preservation of the dead for any space of duration. Modern tables, appliances, instruments and conveniences are employed so that bodies can be readily ```markdown ``` THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1908 A. N.

This feature especially merits the confidence and support of the people because of the advance steps taken for the public good. Another room is employed for the use and service of our men—where they are made comfortable and can amuse and care for themselves when not actively engaged; where another is employed for the keeping of harness and separate lockers for the uniforms, which each driver has for his personal and private use and worn by them when engaged in funeral service, which gives them that comfortable appearance when driving Immediately in the rear and in connection are our stables, where we keep the most handsomely matched teams in the state. All our teams are matched, well groomed and kept in beautiful condition so that the children on the streets as well as the older people know Johnson's turnouts because of their peculiar elegance. Our carriage house is separated by a wall which keeps them on a sanitary floor, making our vehicles always in a healthy, sanitary condition, not contaminated by standing in an unsanitary stable or other unfit place where they may become harbors for disease germs. We want the public to come and visit all these departments of our place and see what it takes and the means we employ to give them the high-class service which their patronage merits. The rich, the poor, the proud and the critic will find us glad to show them the Model Funeral Directory of the country. PROMPTNESS. Did it ever occur to you that when Johnson has charge of the funeral, that his equipage is always on hand at the time appointed and that customary hustle and bustle, loud calling, unbecoming rush is avoided? That instead there is that peculiar, quiet decorum on the part of every one connected with the funeral under the master hand of a positively cool, careful, well-poised mind, who [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. notes, controls and handles a funeral and the attendance with the exactness of a clock? A feature of our business of which we are justly proud and one for which we are daily complimented, is the employment of more beautifully white matched teams than any other funeral director in the state. True, they cost more and are more difficult to match; but the satisfaction to our customers more than compensates for the additional cost. We are just as pleased and anxious for calls night as well as day and stand ready to serve our patrons whenever they see fit to call us into their service. When people say we are not, they are in the employ of a hurt opposition who employ such men to keep an eye on the sick and call them in, receiving so much for each call. *** We want business in our line and appreciate any commendation from people who have either seen or employed our services; but we do not allow our employees to annoy the family of the sick nor do we force our services on people. PERSONAL ATTENTION. No man, in any business, gives more personal attention to that business in all its details. Day time and night time. While we employ the most experienced help procurable, we give our personal attention to all the paraphernalia incident to our THE HORSE CARRIAGE Adults Funeral Car with Drapings of White Steel Grey and Purple. THE MOTORCYCLE Child's Funeral Car, Snowy White Arabian Horses, owned_by A. N. Jo funerals. We give personal attention to every case of embalming, either doing the embalming our ourselves or having it done by our son, who are reared in the business and added to the knowledge by a medical course of study. Every casket is personally directed in its make-up and passed upon before it leaves our premises while funeral cars and carriages are personally inspected. Many of the better grades of our caskets are of our own designing. They are made from our own plans and there is much that is separately distinct and original in our service. Our furnishings represent the best and choicest of the trade. Goods are Adults Funeral Car with Drapings not bought from one factory, but are located from the choice factories from all parts of the country, whose representatives call regularly upon us and are anxious to sell to us. These factories are North, South, East and West; some of which supply us with a part of their direct importations from the Orient as well as Europe. The general progress of our race, the increase of wealth among them and the fact that for the small payment of 1 to 25 cents per week Insurance Companies can pay them abundantly sufficient cost for a funeral and then have money to spare are sufficient incentives to want them to depart from the old, ancient, narrow end coffin to a handsome casket, and if a handsome casket, then an equipage in entire harmony with it. FUNERAL CUSTOMS. Ancient and Biblical history gave record of the care of the dead. The Pyramids and Cheops of Egypt give evidence to the fact that the intelligent gave special attention to their sacred dead. The wild Indians made some sort of pretense at its care and modern people are giving more careful attention to the remains of those who in life were dear to them. How necessary it is to-day as in days of old to embalm the body to arrest putrefaction, destroy decomposition and view our loved ones in restful sleep. It is due them and it is due the living, too, that that work be not left to other than skilled hands and competent intellect, so that the disease be stamped out as its victim is ruthlessly removed. None were employed in those days, but competent men; none should be employed in these days but competent 8 THE MOST MAGNIFICENT AND COMPLETE UNDERTAKING ESTABLISHMENT IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. men—men who have evidence and proven evidence of ability to perform such services. In ancient times, and in many cases in the present times, fine work was for only the rich and great. It has been a source of wonder and comment how that we give such fine services and material for the money used; because it has not been done heretofore. To the studious the answer is plain. There is no boss with high of White Steel Grey and Purple. priced attaches. The system employed is that from the proprietor down to the humblest attache has his work to do and in no place is there an ornament or pensioner. Then the goods are the choicest bought at spot cash prices, which means much in savings to all concerned. We do not rob Peter to pay Paul. Every customer either pays cash or gives good and sufficient security, so that those who pay do not have to pay the other man's debts. Thus it is plain that our excellent modern service is in the reach of any prudent who have prepared for the eventful day which shall surely come to us all. THANKS We wish to extend our thanks to the people of Nashville and vicinity for the splendid and hearty support they have given us since we opened our business here September, 1907. It has been very gratifying to us to know that we have universally pleased them and that they have expressed their satisfaction to others also that our business has been on the increase. There has been for a number of years sufficient business in Nashville to warrant the opening of a first-class, modern undertaking House, such as we employ in our new and elegant quarters. The business has merited a better service, such as we have given them in Funeral Cars and fine Carriages, and we note with great satisfaction the improvements in service which our coming has forced others to make. That we have been imitated and followed is apparent to the public. To lead has always been our custom and we will always be found there with the very best that (Continued on Page 6.) 6 DR. JOHN B.

He leaves besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Taylor, one sister, Hattie B., and two brothers. Clinton F. and Wm. L. Taylor, and a host of friends all over the universe to mourn his loss. Dr. Taylor was confined to his bed only two weeks. He was conscious until the end. His mother and sister were constantly at his bedside. He realized on Tuesday that his condition was serious, and once he said to his mother, "Good-bye, good-bye; I know that I will die; I cannot stand these pains." He rallied, however, and thanked his mother, father and relatives for all that they had done for him and regretted that he could not live to repay them, but the Lord was the Judge. Dr. Taylor graduated from the Veterinary Department of the University of Pennsylvania last spring and was preparing to take the State Board Examination when he was stricken ill. He was the champion quarter-mile runner of the U. of P. during his college days, and after many American conquests on the cinder path he went abroad as a member of the Olympic track team and competed in the 400-metre race which was so widely discussed. He was a Philadelphiaian and attended Central High School, where he started his athletic career and then he went to Brown Preparatory School, where he was a member of the famous team which did not lose a race and also captured two events, one the championship at the U. of P. relay games. The other members of this team were Beson, Mulligan and McGuckin. Taylor then entered Penn, and immediately became the best quarter-mile in the college world and swept all before him. In the summer of 1904 he visited England and France, and won the majority of his races from the scratch, having given good fields long starts. He returned and again entered the University, and in 1906, at Boston, Mass., on Soldiers' Field, he ran 440 yards in 48 4-5 seconds, and made a new record for the distance in the I. C. A. A. A. A. games. Taylor was one of the three, with N. J. Cartmell and Guy Haskins, who won their events and made Old Penn again the champions of the track and field. He won his race last season, and he was chosen by the Olympic Committee to represent this country in the games at the Stadium at Sheppard's Bush, England, and he was the first colored man ever picked to carry the flag of the United States on his breast in Olympic championships. The climate affected him while in England, and despite all that Mike Murphy could do for him he could not reach the form which made him the best man in America. Murphy spent much time with Taylor in the hope that he would reach his old condition and be able to give L. T. Haswelle, the noted English runner, a good race, but Taylor was off form and could not respond. The day of the race he told several of his friends that he was willing to sacrifice his chances to aid a team mate to win the race because he thought that he did not have a chance to capture the event in his condition, but Mike Murphy could not see the matter in this light and told Taylor to stay back of the pace and make one of his famous runs in the stretch. This Taylor did and many of those who saw the event think that had Taylor not seen the signals that it was "no race," he would have won, as he was bounding along like the old runner whom so many Philadelphiaans have seen carry the red and Blue to the front in the big races on Franklin Field. Taylor was a member of many teams and was proposed for membership in the Irish-American Club, of New York, but being a resident of this city he refused to permit the Irish-Americans to consider the matter. One of his best friends throughout his athletic career has been Melvin M. Shepard, who won two races in the Olympic games, and George D. Turner, the old ground-keeper of Franklin Field, who is now dead. Mike Murphy spoke of him yesterday afternoon with not a little show of emotion. The great trainer was moved almost to tears. He said:— "In all my experience with athletes I have yet to meet a more sportsmanlike, gentlemanly fellow than John Taylor. He was one of the easiest men to train I have ever had under my care, and I regret not a little to hear of his death. He never failed to report on the field when training for a race and was conscientious and earnest at all times. A year ago when he was in condition no man living could have passed him in the quarter mile." Last summer he went to the Olympic games and incidentally he was the first colored man ever chosen to wear the Stars and Stripes. He was in poor health when he left this country, and the climate in England did not agree with him. Despite all that we could do for him he was unable to recover the form which won him so much fame in this country. BISHOP TYREE RETURNS TO THE CITY. Bishop Tyree has returned to the city after a successful season with conferences in Texas. The Bishop reports everything in promising shape. CHAMPIONS OF THE SOUTH Atlanta, Ga. Dec. 1, 1908. The final struggle between Talladega College and Atlanta University brought honors to the "Tigers," as champions of the South. The "Tigers" defeated the Talladega team by a score of 33 to 0 on Thanksgiving Day. It must, however, be said for the visitors, that their team was not in the best condition. At no time could the lads from Talladega hold the Archer "machine." It was however a hard fought battle, but a clean one from start to finish. The weather was just a little warmer than that which usually characterizes Thanksgiving day. The largest crowd of the season witnessed this game. The "Tigers" were confident of victory from the start. The boys from Talladega had no hopes of winning, but intended to hold them to a small score. The idea of facing the "Tigers," who had already proclaimed themselves champions, made them tremble in the knees. Although they had tied the mighty team of Meharry, and held other reputable teams to a close score, they now felt that they were to be trodden under foot. The game was a pretty one, as Talladega has a record for playing clean foot-ball. Wade, who had been out of the game for some time, on account of a lame ankle, was seen at his post in full. This was the game of his life and perhaps the last one in Southern colleges, as this is his senior year. It was Monday afternoon, Nov. 30th, that the "Tigers" met the football team of Atlanta University, their old rival, for the first time in three years. The "Tigers" at this time had practically closed the season. Practice had been stopped and the training tables had been torn away. But for the sake of a little practice, with some of the scrubs, they defeated their old rival by a score of 12 to 0 in a hard beating rain. No one expected them to hold the "Tigers to such a close score. The game was called on account of darkness and no one knows just how big the score would have been had they played the time out. The "Tigers" have played six games and won six games. The first team that was defeated by them for the season of 1908 was the team from Athens, score 51 to 0. Next the City Y. M. C. A., 27 to 0; then Fisk University, 11 to 4; Tuskegee Institute, 17 to 0; Talladega, 33 to 0, and the last but not the least, Atlanta University, score 12 to 0. The Fisk team was the only team that was even able to score. ILLEGAL TOUCHDOWN. Mr. Editor:—Reading in your paper of last week the manager of Turner College football team seems to think I have done their team an injustice by stating in your paper that the Thanksgiving game at Shelbyville, between Turner College and Bradley Academy was a tie. If we are to go by Spalding's Official Football Guide, it was a tie. I must say that it was never satisfactorily adjusted and we have from the first to the last contended that their first touchdown was illegal. It was made by the center passing the ball to the quarter, the full back was called over left guard and was given the ball; he was stopped back of his line by Bradley. At this point their center asked for the ball and received it and ran 45 yards for a touchdown. Read rule 8, section 3, on page 197 of Spalding's 1908 Official Guide, and see what he has to say about the center and other players playing on offense. J.

A road made from sand and sawdust is the latest style of roadmaking designed by George W. Cooley, State Highway Engineer. Last spring he made a section of road with clover and rye on a sand foundation. This has been very successful. The road made from sand and sawdust is at Cambridge, in Isanti county. Four inches of sawdust was raked on the sand road after being graded. This worked into the sand by passing teams, as fast as ruts were formed the sawdust was raked into the ruts, to be further mixed with sand. This is a new road making material, and if successful will make an exceedingly profitable means of using the immense quantities of sawdust from the mills of the State. In those counties where there is nothing but sand in the roads good roads are impossible without the addition of other material. Mr. Cooley is now experimenting with various means of turning the sand into a vegetable loam which can be worked to advantage. The idea is that the sawdust will rot and mixing with the sand will form a loam suitable construction of roads proceed slowly. for roads. Such a small amount of money is appropriated by the State for construction of roads that experiments have been on a limited scale and the This State spends one-tenth as much on State roads as does New York in relation to the value of property. PLANK'S CHILL TONIC. In every emergency, just when the people begin to feel that their needs cannot be supplied, there appears on the scene some one to appease their anxiety. Such seems to be the case in the arrival in the city a few days ago of Mr. F. M. Plank, of Chattanooga, Tenn., heralding his famous Chill Tonic to the sufferers of this city. Read his advertisement on another page, go to Kuhn's drug store or A. S. Rucker's grocery and get a bottle.

The curtain of the heart the light of hope excludes, And darkness makes the chamber like a tomb. Where Sorrow sits in silence dread, and broods. Enveloped in impenetrable gloom. What bitter anguish, born of dark despair, Creeps like a serpent to our vital part. When worry from the venom fangs of fear Inoculates the doubting heart. And what is life when every hope has fled. Felicity committed to her bier; When circumstance compels our feet to tread The dark, uneven vista of despair? Terrestrial hell, incessant tortures mark! Where Death, invited, lags and tarries late, While misery keeps alive the burning spark, Reserving us for this nefarious fate. O life, thou art the product of our acts! Within our souls the fickle lotteries play. And failure's chasm rawns behind our backs, To claim " victim as he runs away. ehold him now, his heart a dreadful blot. "Fatality," he murmurs with a sigh: w on "Predestination circumscribes my lot, And I must live in misery, or die." What thoughts and cursed hallucinations these! They torture like a thousand nerves laid bare. No wonder that our quickening pulses freeze, And staunchest hearts are paralyzed with fear. But men and women of heroic mien, Imbued with purpose deep, and strong of will, Array themselves in patience and are seen To march with firmer step and struggle still. For who would shirk the duty God assigns, Renouncing all the pleasure service gives? No man can stop, despondent, when he finds That for the good of other men he lives! —Louis Emmanuel Colbert, Meharry, '11. SPRUCE STREET BAPIST CHURCH NOTES. The services were splendid last Sunday.

William Ellis and His Stationary Tank Ship in the Bronx Kills. The workmen who handle high explosives may feel anxiety while at work, but William Ellis, who keeps the 3,100 gallons of kerosene and lubricating oils and a few hundred gallons of gasolene in a little barge on the Bronx Kills, is in quite as dangerous a predicament. In the little gray-colored barge moored to one of the green, moss-covered spiles which at one time formed part of the foundation of Murray's dock the gasolene man keeps his shop. It is a small barge, about 20 by 30 feet, covered over by a wooden shed. The three tanks are inside the shed --- MOVING PICTURE CANDY BOX. Tennessee. and half of each tank runs down into the lower part of the barge. Each tank has a capacity of 1,000 and some gallons. A man who was bound out on a fishing trip asked Ellis if he ever felt uneasy aboard the barge. "Never," said he why should I when I know that you have only got to cash in once in this world?" "Well, what chance would you have to get away?" "You see, in such an emergency as a fire the best thing I could do would be to jump overboard and swim against the tide. Not with it, be cause the least flame in this shi would cause an explosion and the oil would burn on the water and be carried in the direction the tide was running." Whenever one of the power launches comes near the barge all pipes and cigars must be extinguished. A lighted cigar might be the means of sending tanks and barge skyward.—New York Sun.
