THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. IV. TWO CHURCHES USED TO AGCOMMODATE PEOPLE. Both Houses Crowded to Utmost Capacity. REV. W. SAMPSON BROOKS PREACHED SERMON AT MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH—REV. T. J. TOWNSEND FILLED THE STAND ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH—CHOIRS RENDER EXCELLENT MUSIC—RALLY SUCCESSFUL FINANCIALLY —WEATHER IDEAL — PYTHIANS ON EASTSIDE CELEBRATE AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH—REV. S. E. GRIGGS DELIVERS SERMON. There has been no day in Nashville for many months that has caused a greater outpour of people connected with any one Order, society or organization than did the thanksgiving sermon and rally commemorating the forty-fifth annual thanksgiving day of the Knights of Pythias of Nashville. The managers or the leading Pythians of the city saw beforehand that it would be impossible to have this vast number of brave men and lovely women connected with the lodges and courts get into any one church to hear a thanksgiving sermon and participate in an annual rally which was in the nature of the thank-offering, the proceeds of which are to go to the Pythian Temple, the magnificent property at the corner of Capital avenue and Fifth avenue, North. The officers of the various odges readily saw, as others have seen, that Nashville is suffering for an auditorium where Negroes can have these large gatherings, because they selected two of the most spacious churches for this occasion. The lodges and courts were divided into halves, the first part going to Mt. Olive Baptist Church, the other half to St. John A. M. E. Church. A missionary Baptist minister, in the person of Rev. T. J. Townsend, D. D., preached the sermon at the St. John A. M. E. Church, while an African Methodist Episcopal minister preached the sermon at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. These two churches are in close proximity to each other and for an entire block one solid mass of surging humanity lined Cedar street, unable to gain admittance to either church. The program gave an exact order of what would take place at each church. The friends of the Order were allowed their preference, and the result was a tremendous outpour of people. It is estimated that the two churches had about five thousand people within their walls. AT MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH. Under the command of Maj. Bowman, Captain Robert Gee, Lieutenants Hall, Duff and Kelly, of the Uniform Rank, No. 5, Knights of Pythias, the Mt. Olive department of lodges and courts marched up Cedar street, over Capitol hill and to the church. It was soon apparent that the entire middle tier of pews would be taken up by the Knights and that the members of the Courts of Calanthe would take one half of the side tier and the two amen-corners while the Grand Officers and officers of the local lodges and the clergy on the program would occupy the pulpit. There were so many who gained admittance that the ushers were compelled to bring benches out of the basement in order to accommodate the scores standing in the aisles. The program was late in starting on account of the tardiness of the Pythians in arriving, but at 2:25 the choir sang an anthem and Sir Knight J. Thomas Turner gave three raps of the gavel on the pulpit and the vast audience was silent. He introduced Sir Knight, J. A. O. Broughton, Master of Ceremonies, who read the forty-fifth annual thanksgiving proclamation effective in the jurisdiction of Tennessee, city of Nashville. Another anthem by the choir and then invocation by Rev. Henry A. Boyd. The ode was beautifully sung by the audience, who joined in after Pythians began the singing. The NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1909. Pythian responsive reading was read according to program and then another ode. Owing to the absence of Grand Chancellor, Sir Knight J. P. Crawford, M. D., Rev. W. M. Allison gave an address on Pythianism. Sir Knight Chandler was substituted to read the Scripture. He read from the 23rd chapter of Proverbs. At the conclusion of the Scripture reading, the Master of Ceremonies stated that for some unknown reason the minister who had been selected to preach the sermon had not arrived, hence he introduced a substitute on the spur of the moment. Rev. Henry A. Boyd, who was on the platform, consented to serve. He selected as his text the ninth verse of the twenty-third chapter of Proverbs and took as his subject "The Roll-Call." The sermon had already begun and possibly ten minutes had elapsed when Dr. Brooks finally arrived. The substituted minister concluded and Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, D. D., began his well-prepared thanksgiving sermon which was most ably delivered, taking his text from 2Cor. 5:1, "For we know that if our earthy house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens," and having as his theme "House-Building." For forty-five minutes Dr. Brooks ably and eloquently appealed to his hearers and succeeded in making an impression. He preached an able thanksgiving sermon. His climax was Pythianism in the Bible. He proved from his discourse and this reasoning that the Book of Revelations contained Pythianism on a high order and the seven seals that he had planned to open one by one to his audience would convince every Pythian and every member of the Court present of the fact. After the sermon a thanksgiving of fering in the nature of an annual rally was taken resulting in a tremendous success, with Tyree Lodge leading the other lodges and courts in the effort. AT ST. JOHN A. M. E CHURCH. Brave and graceful marching over the highest hill in the city of Nashville, the St. John contingent of the Pythians that were to have their thanksgiving sermon at St. John A. M. E. Church dropped from the rear of the procession and under the command of a division of Volunteer Company No. 5, of the Uniform Rank, filed in military order into the spacious auditorium of the historic structure. By special arrangement reserved seats for the lodges and courts were furnished for the entire membership, but friends of the organization and relatives of the members soon poured into the house leaving only standing room. Although a few minutes late in beginning, the services were opened by a beautiful anthem by the St. John choir and invocation by Rev. M. M. Huddleston and then an ode led by the Pythians and joined in by the audience was sung. The responsive Scripture reading, as provided for in the program, was clearly and distinctly read by the prelate, followed alternately by the Knights and Ladies of the Courts. The Knights and Calanthes sung "God Bless Our Knightly Band," (Pythian Ode). The Master of Ceremonies, Sir Knight J. P. Porter, introduced R. F. Boyd, M. D., Grand Worthy Counsellor, who spoke ably on the success of Pythianism in the state of Tennessee, concluding in the most flattering terms of the success of the courts. Rev. H. M. Burns then read the Scripture while Rev. T. J. Townsend, D. D., preached the Pythian sermon. A larger audience had never filled the St. John Church than the one that listened to Rev. Townsend for one and one-half hours expounding the gospel of the Lowly Nazarene to these Pythians and sisters of the Courts of Calanthe. He spoke beautifully and had many climaxes. At the conclusion of the sermon tables were arranged and the annual thank-offering was taken. Much interest was manifested in the collection by the different lodges and courts. At the conclusion of the rally the congregation sang "God Be with You," then Rev. A. Brooks, pastor of St. John, announced the benediction. The following officers participated in the annual thanksgiving sermon: Sir. J. Thomas Turner, Chairman; Bailey Turner, Vice-Chairman; R. C. Martin, Secretary; M. V. Cole, Ass' Secretary; W. M. Allison, Prelate at Mt. Olive Baptist Church; J. W. Scruggs, Prelate at St. John A. M. E. Church; Sir. J. A. O. Broughton, Master of Ceremonies at Mt. Olive Baptist Church; J. P. Porter, Master of Ceremonies at St. John A. M. E. Church; O. C. Presley, Master-at-Arms at Mt. (Continued on Page 8.) WHERE WILL NE- GRO BOYS PLAY? RAILWAY PARK CONTRIBUTIONS MOST EXHAUSTED. One Hundred Thousand Dollars A.ready Spent. COMMISSION WILL ESTABLISH NUMBER OF PLAYGROUNDS—LAST ANNUAL REPORT SUBMITTED TO MAYOR-BROWN AND CITY COUNCIL—PARK AND PLAYGROUNDS CONTAIN ONE HUNDRED THIRTY ACRES—NOTHING DONE FOR NEGROES YET — ONE-THIRD OF CITY'S POPULATION COMPLETELY IGNORED — OFFICIAL WILL BE BROUGHT TO TASK. Since the compromise was effected between the city of Nashville and the Nashville Railway and Light Company in the fall of 1902, the latter corporation has paid into the city treasury for park uses a total of $129,751.01, and on January 1, 1909, there was still due the Park Commission $1,972.68, making a total accumulated under the compromise of $131,723.69. These figures are taken from the annual report of the Park Comsion submitted by Secretary Bradley Walker yesterday to the Mayor and City Council. The document was immediately turned over to the Big Three to be embodied in the annual reports for 1908, a volume which will be printed at a very early date, as this was the last of the reports of departments to come in. The report is a very comprehensive one, though it consists of extracts from a larger report which will be printed by the Commission later on. The park acreage of the city is 130 acres, consisting of 100 acres in Centennial Park, and ten each in Watkins, Richland and Clifton Parks. Clifton Park, which is very near Richland Park, is the only one which has not been improved. The parks are valued at $500,000 and are unencumbered. The Park Commission is still working upon the plan originally adopted by that body, though little has been done to bring about its accomplishment on account of lack of funds. The plan is to have one large park in each section of the city, each one to contain at least fifty acres. There are not to be less than four nor more than five of these large parks. This is to form the system of large parks, while there are to be numerous small lots, plots and squares scattered all over the city for playgrounds for children. Only $6,000 has been appropriated to parks by the city directly, and that was in 1905. The report tells of what has been accomplished along the line of playgrounds at Centennial and Watkinins Parks, but adds that both these parks are inaccessible to the great number of the children of the city. It is the intention of the Commission to establish a large number of these playgrounds. During the summer last year, especial amusements were offered by fireworks and music in the parks, and an encampment of the Brown rifles in Centennial Park. Sixty thousand people were attract d by these. The bathhouse was utilized by 7,028 people during the season. A new roadway was constructed in Centennial Park and sixty-one carloads of crushed stone and screenings were used in this park. A five-ton road roller was purchased. The interior of the Parthenon was plastered and painted. The Cockrill spring was closed at the instance of the City Health Officer, and city watere was run through a coil of pipes to supply water at the springhouse. A new spring has been discovered in the neighborhood of the lake, and a house is now being constructed. During the year the City Cemeteery was added to the property under the care of the Commission, and thirty-two carloads of stone were placed on the roadways there. The following is the financial statement submitted: Statement to the Nashville Railway & Light Company: December, 1902, to January, 1904, amount earned at 2 per cent. $ 13,821.46 December, 1902, to January, 1904, Amount earned at 2 Per cent. ...... January, 1905, to January, 1906, amount earned at 2 per cent. ...... January, 1906, to January, 1907, amount earned at 2 per cent. ...... January, 1907, to January, 1908, amount earned at 2 per cent. ...... January, 1908, to January, 1909, amount earned at 2 per cent. ..... Balance ..... $ 1,972.68 Total receipts for 1908 were $28- 443.86, with disbursements of $28- 273.86, leaving a cash balance on Jan- 1, 1909, of $170. CLEVELAND ON JOSEPH B. FOR-AKER. (George F. Parker in McClure's Magazine.) Magazine.) The country will still recall the excitement incident to the President's order in 1887, for the return to their various States of the flags and ensigns captured from Confederate regiments in the Civil War. In this uproar Joseph B. Foraker, then Governor of Ohio, took a prominent part; but Mr. Cleveland's tendency to forget or overlook all such episodes, especially when they had a personal bearing, was shown in the discussion of the Railroad Rate Bill in the Senate in 1906. When I told him that I expected soon to see Senator Foraker in Washington, he said: "I have not known of anything for years which has pleased me more than the Ohio Senator's attitude upon current public questions. Whatever may be the whole truth about the Brownsville case, it has been a display of genuine courage for a Republican Senator to take the position assumed by Mr. Foraker. It is due to him that there has been a real discussion of the President's action in all its bearings. I have, too, been keenly interested in the profound contributions made by the Senator to the debate on the Rate Bill. It has been an enormous advantage to sane public opinion to have a protest take the form of such a complete and effective legal argument, and that, too, on a side decidedly unpopular. I have not the pleasure," he added, "of a personal acquaintance with Senator Foraker, but you are at liberty, if the opportunity presents itself naturally to repeat to him the sentiments I have expressed." CONGRESS OFFICIALS BUSY. No time is being wasted by the officials and promoters of the Sunday-School Congress. Early Monday morning the secretary of the Congress Movement and the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board by appointment, called upon the president of the Nashville Railway and Light Company, Mr. Percy Warner, and held a conference with him relative to the handling of the large delegation which will come to this religious gathering. It is contemplated to have the various committees at both the Union station and the Terminal station to meet all incoming trains and to have the cars run through from the depot to Mt. Olive Baptist Church, but this could not be definitely stated, however, as it is quite difficult to run many of the cars over Cedar street hill unless the cars are provided with the double brake to ascend and descend. But it was definitely stated that the president and directors stated that the under consideration many other plans that were recommended for the comfortable and convenient handling of the large crowd expected. One of the things recommended at the conference was that a special outing be arranged for one afternoon in which chartered cars would be used giving the visitors an opportunity to see Nashville. The report of this conference was conveyed to the Baptist Ministers who were in session Monday. They heartily endorsed the movement and appointed a General Committee of Arrangements to begin work at once. This committee is composed of the pastors of the forty-two Baptist churches of the city, Rev. T. J. Townsend was made chair man and Rev. J. C. Fields secretary. The committee is to have their head quarters on the second floor of one of the Publishing House Buildings at 521 Second avenue, North. They will sub-divide themselves up to make other committees and call upon the Sunday-schools for other material. No.13. TURNER NORMAL STUDENTS PRESENT "SHEPHERD KING." EVERY INDIVIDUAL MEMBER OF THE COMPANY A UNIT OF PERFECTION IN THE PERFORMANCE — AUDIENCE SWAYED WITH THRILLING SCENES — THE SOLOISTS WERE AT THEIR BEST — NIGHTINGALE QUATETTE CAPTURE THE AUDIENCE AS USUAL—MISS BROOKINS A SPECIAL FEATURE AT THE PIANO—DR, JONES PREPARING ANOTHER CANTATA. The most brilliant affair, in the way of an entertainment that has taken place here for many a day, was the beautiful cantata, "The Shepherd King," by the students of Turner Normal, last Tuesday night at the City Opera House. The cast of characters including the choristers, consisted of forty persons. The costumes were elaborate and the effect upon the audience, as the full choruses stood and poured forth their sweet strains of rich music, was stunning. So realistic were the parts played by the character schetches accompanied by appropriate music throughout the entire play, that one could imagine himself witnessing the whole scene of the occasion of the birth of the Blessed Christ, and all the attending accompaniments from the announcement to the shepherds, to the time when he was laid in the manger. The selections sung by the famous Nightingale Quartette were entrancing. Miss Ruth Allison, was the star of the occasion, with her sweet soprano. Miss Agnes Hampton in her rendition of "Are You Sincere" sung at the "King's Banquet" threw the house into a storm of applause, and she was compelled to respond to an encore. Messrs. F. W, Gardner, T. A. Catron and Herbert Cowan each deserve special mention for the excellent manner in which they rendered their parts as soloists. Miss Madge C. Boddie, the noted "lady basso" of Turner College was at her best in the selection: "Sweetly sleep, little child of mine." The chorus work of the troupe was superb. The opera house was well filled, one third of the audience being white people. A number of the whites expressed themselves as having witnessed the most beautiful musical that they have for many a day. The students are soon to get ready for the rendering of their last play for the season, preceding closely the commencement in June.

DATE NOW FIXED AS SATURDAY, APRIL TENTH. With the advent of the spring and the beautiful weather that the city is now enjoying, one's attention is naturally called to out-door exercise. Small boys are playing ball like the big leaguers; marble time is over; kites are in order; but, these are minor pleasures in comparison with the long looked for event, the one that interest all of the people of Nashville, which is the annual opening of Greenwood Park, the beautiful resort which has been so magnanimously provided for the Negroes of the city from the mounficent and philanthropic efforts of Preston Taylor. The plans for opening the park this year, according to information gained from Mr. Taylor, will be more elaborate than heretofore. The entire forty acres with all their natural beauty are dotted with houses containing amusements for the thirty-five thousand people of Nashville. The spacious auditorium is creditable and stands for the benefit of the citizens. The club room which has been renovated and is kept open, offers to the outdoor lovers and pleasure-seekers a haven of rest. Doubtless some organization will fit up the building during the next few months. The Merry-Go-Round, parenthetically speaking, "The Children's Delight," the baseball park and other side attractions, the picturesque lay of the land with its hills and great shade trees, its promenade and the beautiful, clear, pure water, all add to one's long life, through pleasure and rest, when one visits Greenwood Park. The park opens this year on April 10th, just one day before Easter. It being Saturday and practically half holiday with all the big manufacturing concerns, every available vehicle will be pressed into service to carry the children out, as the principal part on the program for the day will consist of an Easter-Egg-Hunt. Every child in Nashville, who remembers as far back as last Easter, recalls the very pleasant day spent by more than fifteen hundred children, roaming over the grassy plots, climbing the hills, all in search of the prize Easter eggs, of which more than two hundred had been scattered over the forty acres of blue grass which make Greenwood a place to be desired. There will be five thousand children in Greenwood on April 10th. Rev. Taylor declares that the children must be happy at least one day in the year. He will contribute his greatest efforts toward making the Easter-Egg-Hunt a great success.. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The revival services which have been going at the First Baptist Church for two weeks end to-night. The Rev. Mr. Parr, of Brownsville, Tenn., has had charge of the services and has preached a series of sermons able, powerful and convincing, from which much good has come, both in the way of conversions and spiritual awakening of the church. On Sunday night the ordinance of baptism will be administered, Rev. Dr. Ellington, pastor, officiating. SIX O'CLOCK DINNER. Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Battle entertained at six o'clock dinner last Friday evening in honor of their sister and brother, Dr. and Mrs. Chambers, who will leave the city for their future home in Mississippi. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. David Hunt and Mrs. C. L. Wilson. CHARMING EVENT.

Games and music were the features of the evening. An elaborate menu was served in courses. The honoree was assisted in receiving her guests by her sisters, Mrs. Reuben O'Neal, Misses Mary L. and H.

A very appreciative congregation assembled in St. James Chapel A. M. E. Church at 11 a. m. according to previous appointment to listen to a sermon preached by Dr. J. C. Caldwell, one of the general officers, secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League, accompanied by his wife. At the hour for preaching the presiding elder, Dr. Caldwell, Browman, W. C. Henderson, and J. M. Webb entered the rostrum. First, song, "I surrender all," by the choir; Rev. C. S. Bowman lined hymn, "My God, the spring of all my joys;" Rev. W. C. Henderson prayed; "I love to tell the story of Jesus and his love," was sung by the choir. The 42nd chapter of Isaiah was read by Dr. T. W. Haigler; the choir then sung "Meet me there;" Dr Haigler introduced Dr. J. C. Caldwell to the congregation who preached an excellent sermon from a portion of Isaiah. Dr. Caldwell will lecture at Mooretown Friday night. At 7 p. m. a congregation met in St. James. The Christian Endeavor was very enthusiastic as it seemed to have caught the holy fire from the morning and evening meeting. Mrs. Haigler was present and gave the members of the Endeavor and church a good talk. Dr. Haigler filled the pulpit at 8 p. m. Text: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me." Many souls were made happy. More than two pews were filled with mourners. CONGREGATION OF DOCTORS. Drs. C. O. Hadley, W. A. Reed and others have jointly opened new offices in the building No. 1211 Cedar street, near Twelfth avenue, North. A dentist will join them at an early date.

THE INDEX Last Sunday morning a leading divine of the city mentioned in his sermon a conversation he had recently with a white man. The speaker said that this white gentleman predicted a very radical change in the attitude of his race toward the Negro before many generations; that as soon as all of the old people, the ex-slaves, were out of the way conditions would change in a marked degree. Just what the gentleman had in mind when he made this statement was not clearly brought out. However the inference might serve well as an index to the requirements the young Negro will be compelled to measure up to. The fact that the opportunity to learn the fundamental principles in commercial affairs has been denied him will count for naught. His road will be rugged and his friends few. No one, not even those of his own race, will be found to extend to him the hand of sympathy, but it will be the "survival of the fittest." This is probably what was meant by the gentleman referred to above, and it seems to be the true situation. Every indication points in that direction. The Negro has contended for years that all he wants is an equal chance in the world. The question is, Can he get what he contends for, and if he cannot will he falter or will he take an unequal chance and make a fight for an existence against odds. His predecessors have had that to do, and their record is one that they need not be ashamed of. The all-absorbing question seems to be, Will his ancestry be able to build on the foundation that he has laid! are the young men holding their own? The lines of competition are being drawn tighter every day in all parts of the country. This is an age of combining interests in every line of business. The men of means are pooling and segregating their interests to economize and thereby increase the profit on their investments. Laws regulating and legalizing these combines are being passed from time to time, all of which tends to put the opportunities to do business further and further from the man of small means. With these facts standing out pre-eminently before the ambitious young Negro man he must decide for himself what position he will take. Whether he will quell his ambition or resolve to contend for a position in the ranks of those who dare to conduct the commercial affairs of the nation. Being the New Negro and among a new people his determination should be to take his place in the THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1909. ranks and fight the battles as they come. CITY PARKS. On another page in this issue will be found a report submitted by the City Park Commission to the Mayor and City Council. The report should be read carefully by every Negro in Nashville, as it contains information that will be of vast import to that class of citizens who are not benefited by the existence of these parks though many of them are tax-payers. It will be noticed that four parks have been established which, all told, contain one hundred and thirty acres of ground; one in each of the four grand divisions of the city, namely, north, south, east and west. The report states that the commission hopes to be able to establish a large number of playgrounds all over the city. It is not definitely stated whether any of those parks or playgrounds will be established for Negroes; neither have they been ordered not to go to the city parks that have been open for some time. But the Negroes of Nashville exercise rare discretion in matters generally. They have not frequented these parks, consequently no complaints have been registered. Furthermore, they neither express desires nor show inclinations to visit them. What they want and deserve is that the city set aside plots of ground in those communities where Negroes predominate and build parks and play-grounds where mothers can carry their children in sultry Summer evenings and spend an hour or so in quietude. As citizens and tax-payers they are entitled to their pro rata of the money invested in parks and play-grounds. The attention of the city authorities should be called to this matter. The thousands of Negro boys and girls of this city are of flesh and blood and are subject to the conditions brought about by lack of out-door exercise. Places of recreation in large communities do more towards reducing death rates than many health remedies suggested to our people. MEHARRY COMMENCEMENT MEHARRY COMMENCEMENT. Next Sunday morning will witness the beginning of the thirty-second commencement of Meharry Medical College, when the baccalaureate sermon will be preached to the graduating classes. The number to receive diplomas this year is the largest in the history of the college, which means that more communities will be asked to support Negro doctors from this school than in any single year heretofore. These graduates go out as representatives of Meharry Medical College, and also the city of Nashville. We hope for each individual abundant success. We also hope they will not forget their Alma Mater when things go well with them. The record shows that 880 have received diplomas from this institution since it was established in 1876. The majority of these have succeeded as practitioners. Some have accumulated considerable wealth and are comfortably surrounded with this world's goods. The dean of Meharry College is putting forth an effort to erect a hospital in connection with the college. It ought not to be a difficult thing to do. The men who have been benefited by the gift of the Meharry brothers, who made it possible for Negroes to study medicine in Nashville, can easily give a sufficient amount to erect and fit up the hospital, and we believe they will gladly do so when they are informed of the intentions of Dean Hubbard. They owe it to him, to themselves and to the citizens of Nashville, who have always thrown open their doors to the students of Meharry College. A GOOD CHANGE The Pythian lodges of the city held their annual celebration Sunday. In order that the comfort of the people might be added to, the lodges were divided, one-half going to one church and one-half to another. The arrangement was a timely one. The people were more conveniently accommodated, and hundreds who would otherwise have been unable to attend visited one of the two churches and enjoyed the services. A feature of the celebration that was noticeable was the parting from the custom established in years past of making these occasions a thanksgiving day. But it seems special efforts were put forth to collect money to swell the lodge treasuries. This ought not to be. It appears that the societies are imposing upon the churches. At one of the sermons Sunday the committees were so long winding up their financial affairs that the audience dispersed indiscriminately and when the pastor pronounced the benediction there were not over one hundred people in the church of probably a congregation of a thousand. It appears that the good aimed to be derived from these annual gatherings is being lost sight of. After spending nearly three months at home, the most of that time confined to his bed, Bishop Tyree left the city last Monday morning for Texas. He leaves behind him thousands of glad hearts rejoicing to know he is well again. Bishop Tyree is highly esteemed by the people of his home. Mr. Frank Turner, who saved a boy from drowning a few days ago, holds the record as a rescuer of unfortunates who lose their balance while doing stunts on the river banks near the upper warf. Mr. Turner deserves recognition by the Carnegie committee on awards for bravery. An effort is being put forth to arrange a game or series of games between "Rube" Foster's ball team, the Leland Giants, of Chicago, and a team composed of local talent. The fans of Nashville would welcome the great aggregation of ball tossers of the windy city. Congress is receiving rapt attention these days. They are discussing the tariff. We wonder if the cost of our beef steak will be increased. On the nineteenth the regulars and irregulars will return to torment us. The first of the month will pass swiftly. How about the last! March has marched away with her ragged maneuvers. We hope April will not fool us. COMMUNICATION. Other Problems and Burdens. To the Nashville Globe: Rudyard Kipling's famous poem, "The White Man's Burden," which created such a stir at the time of its publication and which was interpreted as showing the white man's magnanimity toward helping other and weaker people. In this country it was often quoted as referring to the Negro people as being the white man's burden. But in the light of recent events in different sections of the country with regard to racial friction and antagonism between white Americans and white foreigners, it appears that a larger construction will have to be placed upon or a more comprehensive interpretation made of "The white man's burden." The rioting in Nebraska some time ago against foreigners and the trouble now on in Indiana between American and Hungarian miners, are straws which point to larger troubles in the future, and it will not be trouble between whites and Negroes, either. Yes, the white man will have some other problems and burdens to solve and bear save the much-talked-of one—the Negro problem and burden One thing that is certain is that the unrestricted influx of foreign immigration of the undesirable sort from every country in Europe is destined in time to give the foreign elements political as well as numerical supremacy, and when that, time comes, what will become of Government established by Washington and the men of his day and preserved by Lincoln and the men of his time? This may seem a far-fetched thought, yet it is possible and probable, and therein is danger. HELIOTROPE CIRCLE. A very pleasant meeting was held at the residence of Mrs. Jno Kelly, 653 Bass street, Tuesday, March 23. The resignation of Mrs. Jos S. McKay was received with regret. The instrumental solo rendered by Mrs. J. H. Hale was worthy of much comment. After the regular business of the Circle, the hostess served a dainty tow-course menu. The hostess proved Misses Ophella and Alberta Rivers, of 1019 Stevens street, entertained at six o'clock dinner in honor of the young bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. herself up to the art of flower-making as was seen in the decorations. The visitors were Mesdames Z. F. Johnson, J. P. Crawford, G. H. Hall and L. C. Brown. The next meeting will be with Mrs. W. P. Phillips, 703 Sixth avenue, South, April 13th. PLEASANT EVENING FISK LITERARY CLUB Despite the very inclement weather the members of the Fisk Library Club showed their loyalty by coming out in large numbers to the second meeting of the month which was held with Miss Flora F. Wright at her residence on Saturday afternoon, March 27th, at 3:30 o'clock, Mrs. P. R. Burrus, the president, presided, and a great deal of business was transacted. The club has arranged to give a very unique entertainment some time in May. The members have resolved themselves into committees to do active work in all sections of the city. It is earnestly hoped that the moneys desired may be collected by commencement. "A mile of pennies for Fisk" is the slogan and those who are working for that amount know no such word as fall. The program was altogether musical, and was listened to with much interest and pleasure. At roll call the members responded with a line or stanza from one of their favorite hymns or songs. The program follows: Prayer, Prof. Dora A. Scribner; piano duet, Clara Stevens and Cereela A Brown; vocal solo, Miss Rebecca DeGraffenried; piano solo, Miss Martha C. Grisham; piano solo, Miss Lettie Kakaza; vocal solo, Mrs. H. A. Cameron; piano solo, Miss Hattie E. Caruthers; piano solo, Miss Mary E. Chamberlain. After the program dainty refreshments were served by Miss Wright, assisted by her mother, Mrs. H. H. Wright, Misses Kakaza and DeGraffenried. The following guests and club members were present: Mesdames M. E. Stevens, J. B. Childress, A. J. Bright, F. A. Stewart, H. A. Cameron, S. M. Lowe, H. H. Wright, Prof. Dora A. Scribner, Misses J. A.

Dr. Hammonds reception by the Lexington Conference at Indianapolis last week was a great ovation. He spoke to packed audiences on "Aggressive Evangelism" Thursday and Saturday. His Conference address in the interest of Walden University was one of his best and carried the conference. The Doctor is a great favorite with the Y. M. C. A. of Indianapolis. His address before the "Monster Meeting" for men on the subject of "The Winner" was immensely helpful. He addressed the Ethical Culture Club and won many new friends. Simpson Chapel was literally packed on Sunday night to hear the closing address of Dr. Hammond. The Doctor was invited by the Corresponding Secretary of the General Conference Board of Conference Claimants to hold the anniversary of the Board at the Lexington Conference. His subject, "Our Conference Veterans," was superbly discussed, and gave general satisfaction. Among the social features of the Conference week was the "Bouffet Luncheon" given by Mrs. Webbber and her niece, Miss Carrie Miller, at their beautiful home. It was in honor of Dr. E. W. S. Hammond, Dean of Braden Theological School at Nashville, Tenn., who is a guest at their home while attending the sessions of the conference. The affair was in the nature of a home coming as the Doctor had been a resident of Indianapolis for several years Friends to the number of at least forty partook of the welcoming. One of the enjoyable features of this social was the splendid literary and musical programme by Mrs. J. T. Hill, Misses Katie Frances and Mary Fields, Miss Carrie Miller with Mesdames Lillian Fox, and Navvie C. Lewis. Toasts were given by Messrs. Jones, Furniss, Stokes Mrs. Hagood, Sissel and Ziegler. Dr. Hammond responded in his usual felicitous way. The Doctor has several engagements to preach sermons for lodges and societies. Among these are the sermons at Gallatin, Tenn., and that which will take place at Saint Paul A. M. E. Church on Easter Sunday. DEATH OF MRS. MARY TOWN- SEND. Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Mary Townsend, who died Friday morning, were held Sunday at 1 o'clock at 11. Olive Baptist Church of which she was a most faithful member. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Clark assisted by Rev. Mr. Page, of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church. The church was crowded with friends who came to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. The floral offerings were many and beautiful.

AT THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, EAST NASHVILLE. Escorted by the Uniform Rank, Twentieth Century Company No. 8, the Knights of Pythias of East Nashville commemorated the forty-fifth annual thanksgiving services with a sermon at the First Baptist Church, of East Nashville. An able and effective sermon was preached by Rev. Robt. Satton. The two lodges and two in full as did their host of friends, who filled every available space in the church, listening to this sermon. The entire afternoon was practically given over to these religious exercises. Aside from the program and the sermon at the church, which was elaborate in its propositions, most of the attention was given to the Uniform Rank under the command of Captain J. T. Shelby and Lieutenants Charles Vaughn and Hardy McCullough. The marching and the drilling of this company was almost faultless, so well drilled were they. The financial results of the occasion were pleasing in every respect. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. APRIL 2. 1909. 6.00 Up 3.00 Up 10.00 Up 1.50 Up MR. J. C. BROWN AS PRESIDENT. Some of the city people here remember that during the Centenial there was a young man here who had charge of the Negro exhibit from the State of New York, his name was J. C. Brown. This same Mr. Brown is now in New Port News, Va., doing a fine business. He is president of the Crown Savings Bank of that place and the Globe reporter learns that the bank is doing an increased business over last year. Mr. Brown expresses his sympathy over the death of Editor Battle in a letter just received. STILL AT LARGE The fellow whose disgusting actions attracted the attention of people living in the neighborhood of Fisk University a week or more ago has not been apprehended. He was not seen for a week after the account of his misdeeds was mentioned. However, he has come to the front once more apparently hunting for trouble. He will find it beyond a doubt. --- ```markdown ``` CANTATA OF EMANUEL.

Nashville has furnished a large number of talented musicians that have filled positions with credit in nearly every state in the Union. They leave this city annually for other places to carry on their chosen professions. Among the last to leave Nashville accepting a position as musical instructor was Miss Quinetta L. Compton, who is at present employed as instructor in music in the Amanda Smith Industrial Home at Harvey Ill. Miss Compton is reported to be making quite a reputation during her short stay and, no doubt, her friends will be delighted to know of this success. She is one of the staunch supporters of the Globe and looks to it each week for news and information concerning Nashville. DEATH OF MRS. MYRIA L. HARDING GRAY. Mrs. Myria L. Harding Gray, formerly of this city, but later of Gibland, La., died at that place on Monday, March 22. Mrs. Gray was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Harding and was a native of Nashville. For a number of years she lived on Jefferson street, and was organist at Mount Zion Baptist Church. Mrs. Gray attended Fisk University in her younger days, but subsequently graduated from Roger Williams she was married to Mr. Gray who belonged in Louisiana. Mrs. Gray leaves an infant daughter. The interment was at Gibland. SPORT. The second annual gymnasium exhibition given at Fisk University Friday night, March 26, was indeed a grand one and the school is to be congratulated upon such a move. There seems to be new life in athletics, and one has but to visit the institution to understand that something has been done for the young men of the school. All thinking men have come to the conclusion that young men must have physical development or they will not be able to stand the grind that is sure to come when they face the business world. When you have developed the boy physically and mentally you have a better opportunity at his morals than you would have otherwise. Give us strong young men and the race is compelled to continue its onward march. Prof. Giles is due a world of praise for his work and may success ever follow him and crown his efforts. *** The baseball fans of Nashville have been asking about the coming the world of baseball. The Globe man has been quite busy for the past month gathering information and is now in a position to state that Nashville will be well up in the running when the season is on. There are to be some of the best Negro baseball teams in the country seem in Nashville this season. From a long conversation with some of the best known baseball men, and men who have had a world of experience in baseball, it was learned that we are to have a first-class team out that will truly represent Nashville. From letters received by one of the managers in this city it seems that we are to enjoy the chance to see the world's greatest Negro baseball team and one that more than compares with any major league team and which has only first-class ball players. The Chicago Leland Giants are to play two games in Nashville at an early date. With them will be seen the renowned Rube Foster, a pitcher that McGraw says is the best the world has seen. Then there is Gatewood and Petway, who are both men in the top rank of baseball. After this team come many others of note, such as the St. Louis Black Sox, the A. B. C., of Indianapolis, Memphis, Birmingham, Chattanooga and many others that space will not permit us to mention. The young men behind the movement for a new park for Negroes are moving along nicely and report that they are still hopeful. They seem to be having some trouble with the ground, but hope to have the matter straight in a few days and the work of building will then be started and by the first of May they hope to be started and the e meMMFDWYFWY ready for the public. The local Negro business men should encourage this movement and lend these young men some aid. Let the Negro polish his own star and when it shines he will know that it is the work of his own hands. Give us a park by all means, one that we will feel a pride in—one that the ladies can attend. The investment will be a profitable one. When these young men call on you encourage them and Nashville will be benefited by their work. Here is hoping for a good baseball season in Nashville for 1909. * * * Mr. William Smith, an old Nashville boy, and better known around town as Serk Smith, is in the city, having just returned from Florida and Cuba, where he has had charge of a number of ball players during the winter season. Mr. Smith is a man of wide experience in baseball, having been at the head of some of the leading Negro baseball teams in the country—such teams as the Cuban Giants, Cuban X Giants and Philadelphia Giants—and for the last fifteen years has given his attention to the game both as player and manager. Mr. Smith has been working out every day during his stay here, getting ready for the hard season in the East. When seen the other day by a Globe man Mr. Smith stated that he was surprised to find baseball at such a low tide in Nashville. And that he had several good things in store provided the movement for a Negro park comes along all right. He Seems to think Nashville is a good baseball town and that a good team here with a park to play in would be a profitable investment. He says the record Nashville has made in the world of baseball is one to be proud of and that whenever a ball player says he halls from the Rock City he is given a good chance to show what he can do. When asked if he thought well of any of the talent around here he said there was a world of good young ball players in Nashville and that he was thinking strongly of taking some of them with him if he did not decide to stay here and work up a good team. He also stated that by mixing some old er heads with the young blood already here he could mold out a very fast team. It is to be hoped Mr. Smith will remain in the city. Such a man MRS.

Nashville needs baseball and that badly; here is wishing him success. The East Nashville Blues Baseball Club had their first meeting on Wednesday night, March 24, and had a very successful meeting and hope to have better success than last season with a new manager and several new players. The newcomers are Major G. Officer, H. Jennings, C. Copeland, J. B. Buchanan and F. Change. PLEASANT VALLEY LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM. BASEBALL TEAM. Captain ... Isaiah Moore Manager ...

The golden sun was slowly cinking in the West and many fans flocked to see H. Patton and D. Watkins engage in a duel that will go down in history, that will never be forgotten by Manager Whittaker, the game lasting twelve innings and not a runner reached second base. Watkins' speed and control was that of a major league style. They both pitched in midsummer form and the work of both sides was like clockwork. Lester at short pulled off some sensational plays and Try at third made a great impression on the crowd. Manager Whittaker at second played a star game, while Williams in the outfield pulled down many flies that looked like two-base hits. Merrill and Johnson took care of the other outfields and not an error was charged against any one. The work of Allison behind the bat was that of Petway. Manager Whittaker is highly pleased with his team. He will open the season with Bradley Academy at Murfreesboro. Vaughns played a great game at first. The name of our team is Fisk Juniors.

Game called on account of darkness. ** There was a crowd of over 1,500 at the station to meet Jack Johnson when he arrived in New York the other day. An auto parade had been arranged with brass bands and the first Negro heavyweight champion was given a tremendous ovation when he alighted from the train. A big reception had been arranged by the proprietor of the hotel where Johnson has arranged to stop, and the champion was the man of the hour. One of his first statements was: "I am going to try and get Jeffries to fight. I'll post $5000 with a sporting editor in New York. If Jeffries will cover it w go; if not, I am going to fight thigh first man that puts up the money." Johnson is not trying to run any bluff but is talking what he means and he wants Jeffries to fight or say he is through with the game, either statement will suit the champion. That Jeffries is getting a great deal of advertisement at Johnson's expense cannot be denied. The Negro can see this and is therefore calling his hand. Let Jeffries speak now or forever hold his peace Johnson has done all in his power to draw out the retired champion, but Jeffries does not seem to be inclined to speak. There are a number of good men Johnson could take on but has passed them all aside in order to give the retired champion a SUITS MADE TO ORDER Suits $15.00 Up Pants $4.50 Up Cleaning, Pressing, Repairing, Dyeing & Altering, 5008 Charlotte Pike.

Let the big boys get together and if Jeffries is not going to fight let him say he is not and then we will find some other man for Mr. Johnson. *** MEHARBY NOTES.
