PAUL WEDNESDAY MORNING —DISTINGUISHED DIVINES AND CITIZENS PAY HIGH TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. Rev. Wm. Flagg, who died in Bell Buckle, Tenn., last Sunday morning, was one of the best-known ministers in the South. He was a native of the state of Georgia and received his early training in the public school. He spent some time teaching. His ecclesiastical preparations were acquired at Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga. After finishing from the theological department of that institution he entered the regular ministry of his Church. He served several years in the conferences of Georgia, finally coming to Tennessee and taking charge of Avery Chapel, Memphis. Dr. Flagg pastored some of the largest churches in this state, coming to Payne Chapel four years ago, where he remained until the last annual session of the Tennessee Conference, when he was assigned to the pastorate of the African Methodist Church at Bell Buckle. He was a forceful speaker and an earnest worker in everything that pertained to the betterment of the church he pastored. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1909. A. C. THE LATE REV. WM.

International Conference Scheme on Foot. International Conference Scheme on Foot. CONSTERNATION IN MANY QUARTERS OVER PROPOSED CONVENTION—BLACKS OF THE WORLD OUTNUMBER WHITES —GATHERING NOT FOR HOSTILE PURPOSES—PEACE TO BE THE PASSWORD —PRACTICALLY EVERY COUNTRY WILL BE REPRESENTED. The announcement of a conference of the dark races of the earth is causing no little consternation in many quarters. Attention to this particular news item is convincing of the vastness and importance attached to the proposed conference. This week in speaking to a gentleman in Nashville who has travelled extensively, going many times abroad, it is learned for the first time that a movement of this sort has been under way for about six or seven years—in fact, the truth of the matter is that representatives from all of the great peoples of the earth, who are put in the dark class, even the Mongolians and Malays, as in many countries their classification has been questioned, the decision being generally reached that they belong to the darker race, will take part in this movement. This conference will not be held in the United States or Mexico, as was first thought, but in some foreign country where it is said that a hearing regardless of race and a full representation can be had, for many of the races do not care to come to America. While the informer was not very talkative on the subject he hands out sufficient information, that has not been given to the press heretofore to substantiate beyond doubt that there is more to this conference than appears on the surface. Their object is not regarded as hostile to the peace of the earth, but to the contrary is said to be looking to the establishment of permanent peace, and to encourage their efforts along other lines. This was picked out from the few scattering remarks and answers to questions that Italy, Spain, or France, or possibly Egypt would be among the countries that would probably entertain the conference. It will, no doubt, be styled the "Conference of the Dark Nations of the Earth." The name itself will stir millions of people. North America is supposed to send quite a delegation. They will go from the United States, Mexico, the several reubilcs of Central America, the countries of South America, the Bahama Islands, Cuba, San Domingo, Haiti, Porto Rico, Jamaica and Trinidad, taking in the Greater and Lesser Antilles. When this meeting assembles at whatever place it will be held, it will represent more than three-fourths of the inhabitants on the face of the earth, as no historian will doubt the fact that a conservative estimate places the dark races at three-fourths of the total inhabitants of the world, while the white race only numbers one-fourth. Such countries as India, the divisions of Asia, the intelligent countries of Africa, and the larger populations of the Eastern hemisphere, are densely populated with the dark races, and all South America, Central America, and Mexico are nine-tenths dark. Brilliant men have come from these races, for almost adjoining the United States it will be found that one of the wealthiest men in Central America belongs to the dark race. He is Dictator of Yucatan and is said to have been born a slave in the state of Louisiana, his name being Juan Knight. It is he whom it is claimed is worth $20,000,000. He is one of the promoters of the conference of the darker races, having already been selected to represent his country. His friends, and all who know his ability, which has been demonstrated in the manner in which he has kept peace in Yucatan in the face of the continued revolutions about her, see great results in this conference. Some are predicting that they see the dark races again filling the pages of history with noble men—leaders—men of thought. It is said that one of the objects of this meeting will be to put on foot a movement whereby the heroic deeds of dark men will be printed and distributed as reading matter throughout all the earth. The plan appears to be a gigantic one and if carried out to a successful culmination will no doubt attain great results. BISHOP TYREE AT HOME. Bishop Evans Tyre returned home Tuesday evening after having completed a very successful year's work in his church conferences. He is Bishop of the Tenth Episcopal District of the African M. E. Church which comprises the State of Texas. --- MR. JAMES L. NEAL IN THE CITY. Mr. James L. Neal, of Washington, D. C., is in the city, guest of his brother, Mr. J. P. Rhines. Mr. Neal is a Tennessee by birth, but has resided in Washington several years, where he has a lucrative law practice besides other business interests. Woodard-Brien. Miss Clara Lucile Brien and Mr. Shelby G. Woodard were quietly married last Sunday evening at 5 o'clock at the home of the bride, Fourth avenue, South. Only relatives and a few friends were present. Father Crombs officiated. ST. ANDREWS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Services will be held in the Auditorium of the new church next Sunday morning. Temporary seating has been arranged. The services will be Sunday-school at 10 a. m. Services and sermon at 11 a. m., and 7:30 p. m. The music will be in charge of the Brotherhood choir. Everybody welcome. CARD OF THANKS. The officers and members of Gold Leaf Court No. 2, O. D. C., take this method of thanking the courts that helped in the worthy counselors contest entertainment on Nov. 16. Especially do we thank Mrs. Parry who proved to be the most popular W. C., she having sold the highest number of tickets, and Mrs. Parks, who sold the next highest. Our entertainment netted a very neat sum. The members of Gold Leaf Court will also take notice that the regular time for meeting occurs on Christmas eve and for that cause, the meeting is postponed to meet on the fifth Friday night, December 31st. All members are requested to be present. The election of officers will be held. MRS. CLEMMIE WHITE, W. C. MRS. CORNELIA UPSHAW, R. D. No. 51. Making Rapid Strides in Business. MANY ACHIEVEMENTS FOR BETTERMENT OF CITY — MUCH MORE EXPECTED IN 1910— HUNDREDS OF BEAUTIFUL HOMES PURCHASED DURING THE YEAR—GREAT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS ALREADY ESTABLISHED AND NUMBER TO BE INCREASED. A casual observer of conditions and events in and about Nashville during 1909 is forced to admit that the Negores of this city have caught the spirit that actuated the city fathers in moving up a few notches, in making old Nashville with her hills, where page upon page of history sleeps in the past, Greater Nashville. This could not have been so easily accomplished were it not, for the efforts and action, in the very make-up of the Negroes who are in the city in large numbers. The death of the old year, 1909, with all of its achievements, filled with the sorrow of hundreds, but with the fond hope of the greater part of 40,000 Negroes in Nashville and suburbs, will be watched by the usual number of citizens. It is their intention to hallow it as heretofore. But a review of what has been done and what is expected in 1910 will possibly inspire more individuals, companies, organizations and corporations to a greater work than anything else. There is much expected in the near future and a great deal has already been done this year. Along educational lines it will be remembered that the new Roger Williams has burst forth like a flower, filled with fragrance and surrounded with an atmosphere so healthy that its permanency is guaranteed. Fisk University has succeeded in being given a new president, who has had years of experience and has a bright future before him; Walden University, with its Meharry Medical Colleges, seems to be more stable and better prepared to battle for the principles for which it was established; the numerous city schools have been steadily turning out their host of young people, who have in turn entered some university, college or taken their respective places in their chosen vocation of life. In the religious life a great number of churches has been lifted to a higher plane of real establishment. Some have been begun, some nearly completed, and others entirely built. In the business world, establishments, business partnerships, chartered corporations, and a general organization looking to the interest of the city, have been effected. In the financial world equally as much has been done and more is expected. The home life of Nashville has not lagged, as more homes have been built during the past year than any previous period in the history of the city. The taxpayers among the Negroes have increased 30 per cent, in one year, hence 1910 will be ushered in upon the Negroes of this great educational center with a deal more in store and with more plans formulated, all of which if carried out will argue greatly for the thrift, industry, and far-sightedness of the greatest city in all the Southland. Three large educational institutions, if located here, will be helpful to the community. One is the Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College, a state institution in keeping with the southern spirit of education, which will be under the exact and immediate supervision of Tennessee; another is the rumored transfer or moving of the Turner Normal and Industrial College, an African Methodist school now located at Shelbyville, to Nashville; while the third is the opening of the National Theological Seminary which has been located here by vote of the National Baptist Convention. This possibly is brighter because of the improved condition of (Continued on Page 8.) 2 A. B. B.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1909. On the gentle slopes of the Mt. of Olives, overlooking the Holy City, stands a picturesque church, called the Church of the Three Marys. The peculiar architecture—the many white dooms and glittering crosses—characteristic of churches in Moscow, proclaim it at once a Greek church. The chief interest in this edifice lies in some exquisite paintings which adorn its walls. They are the work of a Russian artist. The site is consecrated to the memory of the three Marys of gospel history, and the artist has depicted within this place of worship all the various scenes in the lives of these three devout women who were so closely associated with the birth, life and death of Christ. The church stands on a most appropriate site. It rises above the Holy City where Christ spent days in teaching and healing. It is situated half way on the road from Jerusalem to Bethany—the home of Mary, the sister of Lazarus. From its spacious outer stairway and wide balcony above the dwelling place of the resident priest, one has a magnificent view of the road leading to Bethlehem, where the Virgin Mary was visited by the shopherds on that wonderful night of the birth of her Holy Child. The crosses on the southern cupolas point to Bethlehem, those of the north to Galilee, where Mary Magdalene first met the Savior and became henceforth one of His most faithful followers—unto His death and resurrection. As one gazes on these paintings one's mind travels in imagination to the various places connected with a history so strange, so stirring, so filled with joyful tidings and scenes of pathos, ending in what has well been termed the world's greatest tragedy. We recall that night 2,000 years ago when Joseph and Mary arrived in Bethlehem, weary with the long journey from Nazareth—the home of Mary—and unable to find a fitting place of rest for the gentle maiden who was to be the means of bringing joy into the world. The event which took place that night, heralded by celestial music and announced by the angels only to the humble shepherds watching their flocks in the fields around Bethlehem, and by the appearance of the star in the East to the Majili of the far Orient, is to-day the subject of deepest thought, devotion and controversy all over Christendom. The site where, in the silence of night and in the obscurity of a stable below the inn, the greatest event in the history of the world took place, unknown and unnoticed by the many visitors in Bethlehem, who, like Mary, came to be taxed in their native town, is to-day the goal of Christians of all tongues and from all climes. ERECTED MAGNIFICENT CHURCH. Over the sacred site of the Nativity Queen Helena, the mother of the great Constantine, erected in 327 A. D. a magnificent church in order to commemorate the spot where the manger stood in which lay Mary's wondrous Babe. On Christmas Eve thousands of Christians, from all parts of the world, gather here as pilgrims to worship the Babe of Bethlehem on the very site where he was born. Bethlehem, the little town to which the wise men came to visit the Christ child, is today a quaint old village, situated on the hillside above the valley where Bedouins led their sheep to pasture in the "Fields of the Shepherds." As one approaches it on the road from Jerusalem it is singularly picturesque. Its white limestone houses, with flat roofs, rising one above the other and clinging to the hillside, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, are surmounted by the massive walls of the ancient convent and church which give to the town its wonderful interest and makes it the goal of pilgrims from all directions of the compass. The basilica in the church is perhaps the oldest monument of Christian architecture in the world. The shafts of the 40 columns which support its fine architecture and its decaying roof are each of a single peace of marble more than two feet in diameter and sixteen feet high. They are surrounded by elaborately carved capitals. The upper parts of the columns are faded, frescoed with Greek and Byzantine figures of saints. The columns are taken from the ancient temple in Jerusalem. These and the mosaics on the walls and roof are made from cedar wood from the Lebanon and reveal the former splendor of the church. On the road from Bethichem to Jerusalem one meets many a living illustration of the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt. The mother, in her blue gown, her white veil covering her head and falling gracefully over her shoulders, sits on the strong Arabian donkey, holding her baby in "swaddling clothes," while her husband walks slowly by her side, guilding the animal from time to time. FROM THE HILL TOPS. The picture of the gentle mother in Nazareth guiding with wisdom, combined with reverence, the wondrous Child intrusted to her care brings before our minds the village where the boy Jesus learned a trade, in the simple home, at the bench beside Joseph the carpenter. We have an insight into the wisdom and silent reserve of the loving mother during the childhood of her Son in the few words oft repeated in the Gospel narrative: "Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart." From the hilltops above Nazareth one sees the most magnificent view in all Palestine. Twenty hills are visible. Here are the four majestic mounts of historic interest, Carmel, Hermon, Tabor and Gilboa. Tall and stately they stand guarding the plain of Esdraelon, each glorious in its history of the past. In the plains are villages over sites of great interest, Nain, Cana, Endor and Jezreel. It is a peculiar fact that until the time of the great Constantine there were no Christians living in Nazareth, nor pilgrims to visit it until the sixteenth century. In 570, two churches were built here, one over Mary's house and the other over the site of the Annunciation. After the capture of Jerusalem, Tancred, the Crusader, built a church in Nazareth, but Sultan Bibara destroyed it in 1263 A. D. It lay in ruins till 1620, when the great Fakhred-Dui gave the Francisans leave to build it. So that now the grotto of the Annunciation is in the hands of the Latins. Sefurieh, the site of the birthplace of the Virgin, is five miles away from Nazareth. There are ruins of a crusader's castle on a hill above the village. Unlike Bethlehem and Hebron, the village of Nazareth does not stand out picturesque on the hilltops, but lies in the basin on the steep slope of the hill to which it clings like an amphitheater. The hill is conspicuous for its height in the line of rocky hilltops enclosing the valley of Esdraelon. It is covered with thyme, and the summit is crowned by a white-domed "Waly" or Mohammedan grave. Some of the buildings on the hill seem to hang over the preceptice; others are half hidden among the verdure in the ravine below. The hill rises 500 feet above the valley. Nazareth is the chief commercial town of Galllee. It is the market of exchange between Acra and Halfa and the Bedqueens. Renan expressed his feelings about the village, saying that "no place in the world was so well adapted to dreams of absolute happiness." STANDS ON RUINS. Like all modern towns built upon ancient sites, the Arab village En-Nazareth stands upon the ruins and debris of the Nazareth of the Bible. Thus the Church of the Annunciation, commemorating the events of the life of Christ, stands above the ancient home of Mary and the workshop of Joseph. All churches in the Holy Land commemorating sacred events contain numerous chapels and altars, each standing on some particular site, and having a history of its own. Many of these sites are at the foot of the marble stairways or at the end of dark, rocky passages. The most interesting site in Nazareth is situated on the outskirts of the village. It is the "Fountain of the Virgin." This pretty spot brings the tenderest thoughts to our minds. It is here that the boy Jesus must have come daily with His Mother bearing the pitcher to be filled with water for the little home. We can picture Him helping her and offering His youthful strength to the aged or blind to fill their water jars. The most prominent building in Nazareth is the Latin convent, rising above the other buildings and appearing like some giant mediaeval castle. Towering above it is a Turkish minaret, giving the town a touch of Oriental grace. Even here the star and crescent glitter beside the cross of Christ. Tall palms wave their green branches above the white buildings, and stately cypresses stand like dark pillars, forming an effective background. It is with a feeling of reverence that one approaches the town, and one is fillet with sense of love for these vales where His voice so often resounded. MRS. DOUGLASS PASSES AWAY. Mrs. Elizabeth Douglas, of 216 Fourteenth avenue, North, died Thursday, Dec. 9th, 1909, at 7:05 o'clock. Mrs. Douglass was the loved mother of Mrs. Nellie Young and Mrs. Hannah Caruthers having lived, under the tender care and protection of her daughter, Mrs. Young, until death came and bore her to the home above, where sickness and death never come. She was indeed a lovable character, living ever to make others happy. This being true she was dearly loved by all who knew her. The remains of the deceased were carried to Hendersonville, Tenn., accompanied by a number of friends and her pastor, Rev. Towsend, to be buried by the side of her husband. She leaves two daughters.

Miss Edwina Smith was elected president, with Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Berry and other ladies as chaperons. Prof. Dock Liner was selected as dancing instructor. It was a standing committee on membership to pass upon all applications from all who seek membership in this class. The class meets every Friday evening from 5 to 8 o'clock. Ever since the organization has been formed it has been run under the following rules, and the same have been carried out strictly to the letter and have proven a great benefit and placed the organization on the high plain for which it stands. Rules. 1. No dance shall be used except those adopted by the Western Dancing Masters Association of which Mr. Dock Liner is a member. 2. Any lady member of the class has the right to bring applicants for membership or visitors to the class from time to time. 3.

Wie pleasure and bustie of Me celebration of the birth of the Christ Child the fact is apt to be overlooked that another portion of the world is doing precizely the same thing—in a different manner. Scarcely one-fifth of the territory of the globe is Chris- tian, and but a proportionate number of its inhabitants celebrate Christmas. Yet even in this comparatively small number of people there are surpris- ingly diverse methods of celebrating the great day. Of course, all countries that have a Christmas have a similar spiritual celebration—thanks and praise and worship to God for the birth of His only Son in the manger at Bethlehem. But the diversity of celebration along material lines and the great variety of Christmas customs in other lands are surprising, indeed. Even between countries so closely al- lied as the United States and England the difference is marked. Of all places on Christmas surely the Holy Land, the birthplace of the Christ Child, is paramount in interest. And, naturally, the celebration of the people of that land centers in Bethle- hem, the humble little village where the shepherds found “the Babe wrap- ped in swaddling clothes and lying in @ manger.” On Christmas Eve the Christians of Jerusalem and from all over Palestine and visitors from other lands flock to Bethlehem to witness the gorgeous ceremonial in the Roman Catholic Chapel in the Church of the Nativity. .One by one and in groups they come, with their caravans of camels or on foot, down the road from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, leading through stony, rolling plains, with here and there an olive grove or an orchard. Under the wonderful radiance of an Eastern night they wend their way through the crooked streets of the quaint little town to the market place, opposite the church. The scene is, indeed, a festive one. Christians from all the countries of the East are congregated here in gala attire, Venders of sacred relics are selling their trosses and pictures in olive wood, and small boys, dressed in many-colored garments, red fezes and bright red shoes, are darting hith- er and thither in the crowd in wild exuberance of boyish spirits. Sheep are being killed by family groups for their evening meal after the ceremo- nies in the church. The mothers of Bethlehem, with their large, lustrous eyes and brilliant complexions, ao making merry with their children. ‘There is a babel.of many voices and @ great running to and fro. The door of the church opens and the crowd presses in, The Church of the Nativity belongs to the Latins, the Greeks and the Armenians, each sect having its own convent adjoining. ‘The Latins are holding their service now, the Armenians later and the Greeks ten days afterward. The en- trance is through a small door in a high stone wall, and one has to stoop as he enters—thus insuring bowing to the crucifix opposite. ( The building is believed to be the oldest monument of Christian archi- tecture extant, the basilica erected by St. Helena in 827 A. D. The services are held in an adjoining building and the worshippers are all seated on the marble floor. The priests and monks enter in solemn procession to the. chant of the grand Te Deum. The Bishop and Archbishops follow, in gor- geous robes richly embroidered in gold end silver. Paens of worship peal forth from the grand old’ organ. .

The silence is complete, except for the peal of the Christmas chimes outside in the village. Suddenly, as though by an unseen hand, the curtain above the chancel arch is drawn aside, revealing a miniature cradle holding an image of the Babe From the organ and the choir bursts forth, in glad, triumphant cadence, the ringing strains of the “Gloria in Excelsis.” The little cradle is lowered and the “Bambino” rever- ently raised. The worshippers pros- trate themcelves upon the ground. The sacred images are then borne at the head of the procession to the chapel of the manger. Priests, monks and congregation all carry lighted wax tapers and moye in solemn ca- dence with the chant. The Grotto of the Nativity is reached. Once a sub- terranean vault, it has been converted into a chapel lined and floored with marble, Directly over the manger is an altar profusely decorated in gold and silver and silken tapestries. In- cense is burning fragrantly, and lamps that are never allowed to go out cast their dim radiance over the crowd. A large star of brass marks the spot where Christ was born and bears the inscription in Latin: “Here Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary.” ‘The little manger, with its wax fig- ure of the Christ Child, is devoutly laid upon the altar. It rests there forthe remainder of the week, a symbol ofadoration forthe multitude. From chapel to chapel, the long procession slowly wends its way, with its chants and lighted tapers. The services are continued nearly all night long on this spot where first came to the faith- ful shepherds the message of “Glory to God in the Highest, and on Harth Peace, Good Will Toward Men.” From Palestine to France of the present day is @ far cry in point of time, distance and customs of celebra- tion, Aside from the church services there is much of interest in the land of “Mo’sieur” at Christmas. The day is chiefly for children, though, of course, the grown-ups lose sight of the real meaning of it no more than do the fathers and mothers of our own land, In France the great symbol of Christ- mas is the mistletoe. All over North- ern France it is cut in car loads, car- ried to tho quaint quays of seaport towns atid shipped to Hngland—for John Bull comes nowhere near supply- ing the Christmas demand for mistle- toe for his own lan. Just before Christmas the French lads and lassies go out into the hoard old forests and search for mistletoe. The boy who sees the first tuft gives a shout of joy, climbs the tree, cuts it and is,carried back in triumph with ‘his prizs, as king of the feast. ‘The ‘mistletoe is hung above the entrance to a door and the young girls pass be- ‘neath it, one by one, ta be kissed by the first lad who catches them, On all Paris strects as Christmas mistletoe is for sale, and it is @ real Christmas necessity. A queer superstition clings to this winter blossom in the minds of the ignorant French peasants—the burn- ing of the mistletoe. Ugly practices end crazy exaltation have been known to take hold of an entire village, with the superstitious excitement attending the burning of the mistletoe. The custom is, apparently, an ancient one from the Celts, A part of the blos- som is broken up into little bits, placed in a pan and held over the blazing fire. The ashes are carefully col- lected, placed in little bags and dis- tributed, to be worn around the neck as talismen. Frequently these little bags are buried in the middle of a field to bring good crops. _ Some wives of the French peasants hold that these little bags are marvel- lous in pieventing their husbands from coming home drunk and fero- cious. All that is necessary is to sprinkle a little of the ashes of the mistletoe in his drink, when he isn’t looking, and his appetite for drink wiil decrease. The ashes will, at least, keep him soberer than he would be without them. That is the reason why a mistletoe bough hangs outside most of the taverns in Breton; it is calculated to prevent the tipplers from seeing pink snakes, purple rab- bits and the like flying through the air while making their unsteady way homeward. In many sections of Germany Christ- mas ‘is celebrated in many diverse ways. Yet all the festivities cling to- gether by tradition and have many parts quite similar. Santa Claus is the main feature and he differs a great deal from the Santa Claus of America. ‘The German Kris Kringle never dis- tributes any toys, but he carries a large bag of nuts. These nuts are distributed among the German chil- dren on Christmas Day, Santa is pe- culiar in that he also carries a bundle of switches. They are for the chil- dren who have been disobedient dur- ing the past year. When the nuts are distributed the bad children re- ceive a switching, instead of their por- tion of the nuts. In. distributing the nuts they are usually placed in the center of the table and Santa Claus hands them to the youngsters. Fre quently the lads are too anxious for their portion of the goodies, and the switches of Santa Claus come down across their shoulders with a whack. ‘Then they keep a safe distance from the table. The German children believe in Santa Claus until they become about 10 years of age. In Germany only one day is celebrated, Christmas Eve being left unnoticed. This is more so among the laboring people, as the shops and factories never give a half holiday on the day before Christmas. On Christinas day almost all of the churches have a Christmas tree for the little folks, and the gifts are distrib- uted from it, In nearly all of the homes Christmas trees are to be found. The gifts are very rarely given out on the night before Christmas. German children have many of the same Christmas amusements that the American children have, and some of them are very similar to the Ameri- can Halloween. Candles always cover the Christmas tree, yet this is never in full blaze until the night of Christmas Day in Germany. There is no week or festivities lasting until the first day of the year, as in this country. Christmas festivities in England are probably more fully enjoyed than in any other country. Many of the old English customs have been trans- planted to America, but many of them are still known only in the country across the sea. In no other country ate the festivities more joyfully wel- comed than in England, where the “old honor,” as it is called, has not fled. In that country it is the cus- tom on Christmas Eve, after the usual devotions are over, to light large candles and throw on the hearth a huge log, called the Yule log, of Christ- mas block. At court and ih the hobmes of the wealthy an officer, named the Lord of Misrule, is appointed to superintend the Christmas revels. In Scotland a similar officer is appointed and 1s called the Abbot of Unreason. This is merely one mode of creating an abundance of fun, but long years ago this officer was really appointed to superintend the festivities. In the year 1515 the office was abolished by an act of Parliament. The reign of the original law of Misrule started at Halloween and continued until Can dlemas Day. The faverite pastimes é | "5 1 SP epee A EW pe eeee re ee ing, music, conjuring, dipping of nuts and apples, dancing and “fool plough,” hot cockles, bling man’s buff, etc. In England the favorite dish for dinner at this season of the year is the boar’s head with an apple or orange in his mouth and set off with rosemary, ‘plum pudding and mince pie, The houses and churches are decked with evergreens. especially with mistletoe, to which the English have attached a ‘singular sacredness since the days of the Druids. The English children look forward leven more eagerly to the Christmas season than the American children. It is their Thanksgiving and Christ- mas combined. They have all the good things to eat that grace the home of the American children at Thanks- giving, and besides receive their pres- ents at the same time. Many of the American games for the Christmas season were originated in England hundreds of years ago, such as blind man’s buff and dipping for apples in a tub of water. These games at first were only for the Christmas festivities. The English Christmas season lasts from the night before December 25 un- til the first day of the New Year, and everything is merry during that time. "The season, long years agu, was cele- ‘brated to a greater extent in England ‘than it is to-day on account of the fact that the heads of many of the churches complained that the season should be more sacred and not so much given over to the joyous pro- grams, “This called a halt on the fes- ‘tivities, as the churches were then the ‘ruling powers of the country. Since that time the change has been felt right along, The Santa Claus of the English children is an all-powerful being and they are stern believers in the mythological gift giver until quite up in years, Many of the English Christmas customs date back hundreds of years. } There is another side of Christmas in England that is by no means as cheerful, though it speaks well for the Christmas spirit of its principle city, London. Annually, many, many thou- sands of dollars are spent in provid- ing Christras cheer for the pcor, Any number of public dinners are wiven by various charitable societies and wealthy individuals. The poor— men, women and children— are gath- ered in from the city's highways and byways and provided with warm clothing, household supplies and a real Christmas dinner, At the famous Guildhall, on Christmas Day, a sump- tuous dinner is served to nearly 2,000 ‘children, the city’s Aldermen them- selves acting as waiters and doing ‘their best to instill a bit of reat Christ- ‘mas cheer into the lives of the poor, half-starved little waifs who come to be fed. Christmas means much to the juve- nile poor of London—in fact, it is the biggest day of the entire year in their lives. Most of them belong to what have come to be known as the “rag- ged-schools,” and each ‘school is given a delectable feast with a few inex- pensive presents on the side. The churches throw wide their doors and provide Christmas goodies. . These dinners are, naturally, the talk of the children for months beforehand, And they.crowd the various halls where they are held in droves, Everyone is served. In thousands of instanves, Christmas baskets, containing food and supplies, are sent to the homes of erippled children or invalids un- able to attend the big feasts. Everybody is remembered. The in- mates of the workhouses are given good, Wholesome dinners and provided with * other practical gifts. The widows are given “purses,” containing from one to two dollars, by the Mayor and Aldermen who provide the nec- J. FRANK BATTLE. essary money from. the civic funds. It is the great day for the London poor. None are forgotten. In fact, the poor from many towns near by flock to London on Christmas Day for the express purpose of sharing in the prodigal Yuletide distribution of shoes, goose, plum pudding, clothing and Right at the very door to our own country—Ellis Island—a Christmas celebration of more than passing in- terest takes place every year. There is never a Christmas that does not find at least one steamship depositing its load of immigrants from Burope. Strangers fn a strange land on Christ- ‘mas Day! Surely they are worthy of all that can be done for them to make ‘them feel » little of the Christmas cheer! And much is done. In the main hall of the immigrant quarters at Ellis Island, which has a seating capacity of 14,000, a stage is erected from which prominent speakers ad- dress the :mmigrants. The speakers are chosen according to their linquis- tie ability, and every immigrant pres- ent will hear at least an address in his own language, Not infrequently singers from the grand opera houses in New Cork are present and cheer the new arrivals with their beautiful songs. The little immigrant children. are treated to all sorts of Christmas gifts dear to the heart of childhood and their fathers and mothers come in, too, for Yuletide remembrances. Several months before Christiias donations come in from all over the country. From the middle of December pack- ages begin to arrive, some containing touching little offerings of cheap toys, candies, ornaments and fruits. From the Ghetto, from Little Italy, from the crowded alleys and the stifling tenement come the gifts. Not infrequently from a distance comes a check from a man, himself once a pilgrim at the island, to whom. fortune has been kind. He asks that the money be expended for toys, warm clothing for the infants and substan- tial gifts for the parents. And in this way the matron of the.{sland collects enough gifts and toys to make the children who spend their first Christ- tas in the land of the free remember it all their lives. There is always a big Christmas dinner and a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. Many of the little ones have never had so many good things, and so much attention in all their lives before, Sometimes, though, they are too sad to enjoy the feast and the presents, for even in the childish breast can be felt the pangs of fatherland left behind and a new, unknown land ahead.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1909. THE MEDDLESOME STUDENT. "Vernon must go, is the decree of the Tuskegee Wizard, and that J. C. Napier, of Nashville, is to get the plum. "Booker Washington has not ceased to work against Dr. Vernon—he opposed him all along; but he opposed him without reasons, which would not work with Teddy, and hence he failed, as he should do now. "Booker T. Washington, however, is backing J. C. Napier, who, by the way, is showing Booker Washington over the State of Tennessee, with the hope of riding Washington into the office of Register of the Treasury of the United States—a big thing, indeed, if J. C. Napier can keep his horse from falling. The promise of that great big plum is costing the little Negroes of Tennessee dearly for Booker's ride." Again the ever-meddlesome and over-wise editor of the "Allen Student" has out his war paint. Having devoured everybody digestible in the A. M. E. Church, he has licked his lips and sharpened his teeth preparatory to an onslaught on the Nation. No one familiar with the temperament of the ex-secretary is surprised at anything that appears in the columns of the "Student," but we simply want to inform our friend that the people in Tennessee know how to attend to their own affairs, and that those who honored Dr. Washington during his visit in Tennessee are not starving as a result. We do not know whether or not there is any feeling between Mr. Vernon and Mr. Washington, but we do know that Mr. Napier is able to take care of himself. He is Tennessee's leading republican, having stuck to his party through thick and thin. There have been times when it seemed that every Negro in the State would desert the party, but Mr. Napier in every instance proved that he is a firm believer in the doctrine of the late Frederick Douglass, who declared in the midst of the greatest crisis that has ever threatened a political organization that "The republican party is the ship, all else is the sex." So, if Mr. Napier is recognized by the Federal Government it will not be due to the influence of Dr. Booker T. Washington or any one else, but a recognition of the fine qualities in the man. The editor of the "Student" would do well to attend to matters of which he has some knowledge and that would be more conducive to his success than the meddling with other people's affairs. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1909. COOK'S FATE. From the dispatches that are appearing in the press of the country it looks like Dr. Co. a claim to the discovery of the North Pole is about to be set at naught. There were and are still thousands of people in this and other countries who sympathize with Dr. Cook and who had hoped that he would be able to establish his claim, and it is regrettable that he saw fit to leave his case to a foreign country. If failure must come to the Brooklyn explorer it would have been more honorable to have failed at home than abroad. After all, there is a "fishy" smell about this pole business. In all soberness, who knows that any one has reached that coveted spot? To our mind, it is a matter yet to be verified. With turkeys selling at a quarter of a dollar a pound and a curtain of snow looming up here and there, a great debate will have to be decided between the coal man and the poultry man as to which shall have the customer. The Negroes of Davidson county are awaking from their Rip Van Winkle slumber and are making a strong bid for the State Normal. But the business leagues cannot be induced to join the procession. And now, after spending millions on a leck canal, the conclusion is reached that the branch will not be worth a continental when completed. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS. The County Commissioners call attention to the fact that a primary election will be held in January preliminary to the regular election in February, Members of Councils and the sectional school boards will be chosen. This is the last time that the citizens of Pennsylvania will be called upon to go to the polls in February, and for that relief there ought to be general rejoicing. Yet this matter was so little understood that the reform was adopted at the November election by only a slight majority. Hereafter we shall give attention to local offices in November of the odd years and to State affairs in November of the even years. Why any voter should have hesitated to sever local and State elections, we are at a loss to understand.—Philadelphia Tribune. *** More Money. The Bee would like to know who is responsible for the small appropriation of money for the colored schools. Is this not the time for the colored members of the Board of Education and the colored assistant superintendent of schools to look into this matter? Senator Gallenger has made a favorable reply to the citizens for a new normal school. The colored people would be more than glad to have a colored business High School. There is great need for such a school for colored children. What the colored schools want is a good business education. The young colored boy and girl are in need of a business education. The young boy and girl are not put in a position whereby they can obtain a business education. While the whites are asking for a new normal school let the colored people ask for more money for their schools and a business high school—The Washington Bee. The noted Separate Car Law enacted by the first legislature of Oklahoma—and by the way, the first bill on the calendar—and fought ever since by the State Constitutional League, came up in the Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Louis, Mo., 12th inst. The railroads claiming unreadiness and a continuance of the case, the attorneys of the League asked and were granted that a final hearing be given in May, 1910, at St. Paul, Minn. The foregoing facts should lend encouragement to those who doubted there was a "ghost of a chance" for us in this fight. Now everybody pull together for a decisive victory. The Oklahoma Tribune. Bluefield's Jim Crow Ordinance. Since Bluefield will have saloons, it is not such a hardship as it appears from first sight, that the liquor-drinking Negroes in that city should be compelled to purchase their refreshments from the sole saloonist of color, or pay a stiff fine. The commingling of the races in bar-rooms is responsible for much of the friction existing to-day. There they come into close contact and their passions inflamed, their pugnacity excited by bad whisky, overthrow in an hour what the better element has been months in building. White's proposed ordinance will cause this danger, for whites who restricted to saloons conduct in of their race, while the Jes must get their "booze" from a Negro or go without. Again, the ordinance will compel them to patronize a business (?) man of the race. And here again it is a questionable blessing in disguise. Without it, the white liquor dealer would get many a dollar which will go to a Negro, to be used, we trust, in healing some of the wounds which his establishment is sure to make.—The (W. V.) Advocate. Jefferson and Black Patty. Jefferson and Black Patty. We notice the big stir in our city this week because of the widely-advertised Black Patty show to be had at the Jefferson Theater Tuesday night. Many theater-goers who have sworn that they would never again climb those back alley fire-escapes to see any performance, regardless of its nature, and because of this show being almost or entirely Negro talent, it is causing much sensation on the part of many to see their fellow kinsmen through the straight gate or the front entrance. We here compliment our people, since they feel they must see this performance out of respect to the developed talent in the race and seek necessary accommodations for them as a civilized people. The question is, will the Negroes climb those dangerous back alley fire-escapes if the white fail to accord privileges sought? If so, then they are less than men and women who would be expected to bring about such an agitation of self-respect, but reduce themselves to a mere bluff to have some passion pleased for the time being. We don't believe that you have any right there at any rate, we know that it is better for every Negro to stay away from these places of race disgrace and race suicide of luxurious sport, most especially until proper and civil accommodations be had. Nothing is more absurd and nauseating than to hear young men and women of supposed intelligence say that they must go to these unwholesome places because it is their privilege. All the privileges that we have as men and women are given to us by God and man with an expressed understanding that they will be used to the best interest of our country and our God. And not that you will enthman a whole community or race of people because of your lust for such dangerous evils. The proper procedure for the colored people is not to enter the theater Tuesday if they cannot enter with and in the place provided for citizens. It will take men and women to do this, while forms of human existence will accept anything—The Birmingham Reporter. The Atlanta Georgian, a short time ago, in harmony with the gentle spirit that pervades this sacred season, became reflective and in an article worth reading a second time, commented decently on the worth and character of the anti-bellium Negro and also went to the gracious extent of quoting at length Henry W. Grady's tribute paid to the Negro people in that masterly effort of his in Boston years ago. That was a noble tribute by a conscientious man, a tribute than which no nobler was ever paid to the splendid character of a splendid people. It is meet to observe that what The Georgian had to say in the way of favorable comment regarding the antebellum Negro cannot be confined to them only, but is equally applicable to his descendants, the Negro of to-day. For he is certainly trying with might and main to make a useful citizen by making the best of his opportunities. It is hoped that The Georgian feels somewhat better that it had the courage to perform a little service to a people who have been of infinite service to the South. The Negro people are the most grateful people in the world, and so manifest that fact on all occasions for the least or greatest favor. Were it possible for other great and small journals, engaged in moulding public sentiment, to constantly give expression to favorable comment on the meritorious things being done by the masses of the Negro people and not confine themselves severely to morbid portraital of the misdoings of the derelicts, there would grow up a healthy condition of things that would redound to the good of all. It should be remembered that the ratio of evil-doers to the entire Negro people is no greater than the evil-doers of other races are to the whole number constituting any particular race. Most people find it hard to get together at one time the price of fist-class clothing.

BYRNS BILL FOR AID OF THE POST-OFFICE. It Seeks an Appropriation of $400,000 for Enlargement of Building. The bill whereby it is hoped to enlarge and improve the Nashville post-office building in the near future has been introduced in the national house of representatives by Congressman Jos. W. Byrns, and has been referred to the committee on public buildings and grounds. As has been pointed out for some time, the great and steadily increasing volume of business of the government at the custom house building has become too heavy for the room afforded. Space has been economized to the utmost and it is hoped that the sum of $400,000, called for in the bill, will be appropriated. The text of the measure follows: "A bill to enlarge, extend, remodel, and so forth, post-office and custom house building at Nesville, Tenn. "Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, "That the secretary of the treasury be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to cause the post-office and custom house at Nashville, Tenn., to be enlarged, extended, remodeled, or repaired at a cost not not exceeding $400,000, including all necessary changes in, extension of, or additions and repairs to the heating, ventilating and plumbing systems and elevators which may be incident to the enlargement, remodeling, extension or repairs of said building." DAVIDSON FACES A CHARGE OF MURDER. Following the death of Tom McClain at the city hospital, Sunday morning, Jerry Davidson was arrested by Patrolmen McKinstry and Christman, and the charge of murder was placed against him at the police station. He was bound over to the criminal court on the charge at the afternoon session of the city court. McClain's wounds were received in a fight with Davidson on Jo Johnston avenue, on the night of Nov. 28, and he received several dangerous wounds in the abdomen. For three weeks he hovered between life and death at the city hospital, and died at an early hour Sunday morning. Davidson will be prosecuted by Mary McClain, the wife of the deceased man. COMMITTED SUICIDE RATHER THAN BE HUMILIATED. ABBEVILLE, Ala., Dec. 20.—A thrilling man hunt terminated yesterday afternoon near here when Roy O'Hara, a Negro, killed himself after a chase lasting since Tuesday last, when he shot Officers Holly and Thomas. Bloodhounds pursued O'Hara so closely that he shot the leader down, and Sheriff Butler was forced to come to Abbeville to telegraph for more dogs. One mile south of here, at the entrance to the Choctaw Hatchie Swamp, a cordon of 100 men surrounded him. Wounded, barefooted and tired, he saw that escape was impossible. Rather than fall into the hands of a mob he placed the barrel of his shotgun to his breast and pushed the trigger with his toe. His body was tied to a buggy and dragged to Abbeville and placed in the court house, where it lay for several hours. THE FERRER TRIAL BY AN EYE- WITNESS. Writing in the January McClure's of the Ferrer Trial, Perceval Gibbon says: "The whole thing was stage-managed like a drama, and its end was not less certain and foreseen. They brought Ferrer in and placed him at the bar of the court, with a sentry beside him; and the spectators rustled and fidgeted to see him at close hand. Under their curious eyes, the doomed man shrank and was uneasy. People saw him with astonishment. He had the manner and all the outwardly look of an elderly clerk or a country schoolmaster, of anything subordinate and plodding and uninspired. He was middle-aged and of the middle stature, with a round, dull face, and a short, pointed gray beard. There was nothing to distinguish him from thousands of men in Spain to-day, in whom the national character of reserve and incuriousness are exaggerated to a sort of atrophy of the faculties. He showed no trace of that fervency and power that had made him the enemy of the Government and sustained him through years of war against bureaucracy and clericalism in Catalonia. It was only when, at some turn in the proceedings, he looked up quickly, that people were able to see that the eyes in the patient face were steady and of a peculiar brightness. "A military court does not pronounce sentence at the end of the case, and when Ferrer was taken out from court, no word of death had been spoken. But he knew, and the others knew, that he went forth doomed." DEATH OF LEOPOLD May Change Status of Protestant Mission in the Congo. Officials of the Foreign Missionary Society located in this city expect to secure permanent possession of a new missionary station recently established 100 miles from Bolonge, on the upper Congo. Secretary F. M. Rains said yesterday: "We do not rejoice in the death of any man, but we cannot but be thankful for better things in interior Africa. While King Leopold lived we had many difficulties in securing land to establish stations. We could only get a thirty-year lease for the new station in Africa. Now we expect to be able to buy the location. We expect much from the new Belgian king, as he belongs to the twentieth, not to the sixteenth century." A native hospital will be established at the new station. JAMAICA NEGRO. Wing Oratorical Honors at Kalamazoo College. Kalamazoo, Mich., December 18.—S. J. Williamson, a Negro, whose home is in Jamaica, and who is a student at Kalamazoo college, was one of the two winners in the contest for representatives to take part in the state oratorial contest. The other student chosen is Miss Emily Carter, a white girl. Williamson is a bright young man, who has won honors in other college contests. DEATH OF MENELIK Is Rumored in Rome, but There Is No Official Confirmation. No Official Confirmation. Rome, December 18.—A rumor was circulated here to-day that King Menelik, of Abyssinia, was dead, but there is no official confirmation of this. The latest dispatches from Abyssinia, which are dated December 12, mere announce the illness of the King, but give no details. ST. ELI BAPTIST CHURCH.

Magnolia, Ala., Dec. 20.—Magnolia is quiet at 9 o'clock to night, following a day of intense excitement with much bitter feeling manifested between the whites and blacks of this community. Ernest Slade, one of four white men shot by Clinton Montgomery, a Negro, is fatally injured and his death, expected at any minute, may serve to further fan the flames of race Clinton Montgomery's charred body lies in the ruins of a small house, the work of a mob of citizens this afternoon. Bristen and Shelly Montgomery, brothers of the burned man, barely escaped lynching early this morning when the Sheriff of Marengo County captured them and eluded the manhunters, taking them to the county jail at Linden. Search is being continued for Will Montgomery, another of the four brothers charged with the murder late Saturday night of Algernon Lewis, a young white man, which crime precipitated the trouble. Practically every Negro resident of Magnolia left there Monday afternoon. The whites are well armed. Clint Montgomery and several other Negroes were found barricaded in a house, which was soon surrounded by a body of whites. Fearing for their lives, Montgomery's companions deserted him and surrendered to the posse. Montgomery fastened the door after defying the men to attempt to get him. One of his former companions was then forced to set fire to the house and when the building was enveloped in smoke Montgomery threw open a window and opened fire with telling effect upon 'he posse with a magazine shotgun. Ernest Slade fell mortally wounded, his face and body filled with shot. N. G. Carlton, Tom Shields and William Lindsley were also wounded, though not seriously. A fusillade of shot struck Montgomery as he was attempting to leave the house, his body being allowed to be consumed in the burning building. Albert Watkins, another Negro suspected of harboring the Montgomery brothers, is under arrest. Comer Sends Militia. Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 20—Gov. Comer to-night ordered a company of militia to Selma to proceed to Magnolia, the scene of the reported race riot in Marengo County. A report reached the Governor's office that armed Negroes attacked the Sheriff of Marengo County at Magnolia and that five white men were wounded. Called Back Troops. Selma, Ala., Dec. 20.—At 10 o'clock to-night Gov. Comer countermanded the order for the local company of State troops to proceed to Magnolia. Troops were ready to depart on a special train when the Governor's countermand order was received. No further trouble is feared at Magnolia. FELIX 8. WHITE.

ROUSSHAU,, General Passenger Agent, Nashville, Tenn. THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1909. SPORT. ists, Jack Johnson and James Jeffries, | are matched to fight on July 4, there is great interest in the respective claims of both men, and of course, many bouts between the big fellows in days gone by are recalled, Very forcibly was one of the best ring bat- tles of the present decade brought to public notice the other day, when Mrs, Dan Stuart filed her inventory as administratrix of the estate of Dan ‘Stuart. Among the effects were the films of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons bout, in which the latter won the heavy-weight title. These films were among the early ones, and were: not seen by the general public, though a great. deal of money was realized from exhibiting them throughout the country at rather high prices. It was stated that the late Dan Stuart was about ready to send the moving pic- tures of the bout on another tour through the country. Another battle much talked of was the 26-round fight for the heavy- weight championship between Jim Jeffries and Tom Sharkey before the Coney Island Club in 1899. The pic- tures of this fight are going around the country at the present time, but only four rounds are shown of the 26, which were rather tedious to look at owing to the continual clinching. But the four shown are the pick of the Dout, and show Jeffries’ ability to in flict punishment at short range, as Tom Sharkey came out of the boul with a couple of ribs broken. As a@ matter of comparison, three rounds of the Jack Johnson-Tomm) Burns bout in Australia are show! with the JeffriesSharkey pictures and the two furnish a fairly good lin on how the two heavy-weights stac} up in action. The latter pair of film are to be shown at People’s Theater eae Trainer Jack McCormick told th writer that Jeff would take up train ing about January 15 at his home ,|near Los Angeles, Cal. He will tak _|with him as trainers Jim Corbett Jack Root, Tommy Ryan, Sam Berger _|Kid McCoy and probably Bob Arn strong, the Negro heavy-weight, wh | helped Jeff train when the latter wa preparing to fight Gus Rublin. }| Jeff has a unique scheme to get | .|good line on his own ability, He wi larrange private matches at his trait | ins camp with each one of his spa ring partners, and the man who fail , |to hit Jim with all his might and tr to knock him out at every opportt nity will be chased away from th *| place. This means that Jeff will figh Jim Corbett, Jack Root, Sam Berge Kid McCoy and several others in tru , | ring fashion, and it will be well wort while to go out to the training plac , |every.day to see Jim work. Corbett arrived in New York on Fr day last from Europe, and to inte viewers said that there was no dout about the big fight being on th »| square and that he Would work wit | Jeffries to the last 40 days of h training and try to make him fit. proper handling will make him a wi ner, then Jeff should come home o the bit, as never before in the histor of the fighting game has a boxer s' lected such a corps of competer . |trainers as has Jeff for the comin } battle, mets Boxers of the Early Days Did Not Get Much in Way of Purses. “It must be time-stained canvases painted by the ‘old masters,’ the rarer they become the bigger the prices they command.” ‘This wag the comment of a fellow, not to the manner born, on hearing that Johnson and Jeffries are to re ceive a quarter of a million in spot cash and picture, profits for strutting around a roped arena and making passes at each other with upholstered hands, What hastened the remark was the added information that the sum offered Johnson and Jeffries—irrespective. of their share in the picture project— is the record of records in the mat- ter of purses for prize fights, It is more than that. It is astound. ing. Yea, breath-snatching; almost unbelievable. Twenty years agé Peter Jackson, champion of Australia and undeniably the best heavy-weight ever produced in Kangaroo land, came to San Fran- cisco, bringing his badge of superior- ity—hig championship belt—with him, He was matched with Joe McAuliffe, the then “Pride of Frisco,” as Billy Jordan would say, and the whole world watched for the result of the international contest, There were no eat“em-alive cam- eras in those days, and Jackson and McAuliffe received $3,000 from the California Athletic Club. for their services. It is a far cry from $3,000 to $101,000—not to mention the film phase of it—and one question which naturally suggests itself is; Do they fight any better now than they did then? They do not, so therem is not to be found the reason for the increased value of hooks and uppercuts. There were no individual promoters in those days, though, and no particular dearth of fighting material. Nor was ‘there until comparatively a few years ago. The same searcity of worthy op- ponents which forced Jeffries into re- tirement caused Johnson, once he be- gan to forge to the front, to stand forth a worid-beater among a herd of incompetents. Outside of Johnson, no heavy-weight of true championship caliber has appeared on the pugilist- ie horizon since Jeffries won and laid down his laurels, years ago. ‘That is why—the unholy longing for an old-time championship battle having seized us—we have yanked Jeffries out of retirement and allowed |him to name his own price, The price, incidentally, would never have been so high only for this idea of sell ing fights for the championship the | way they sell “December wheat” in | the pit. | Let us hope Tex Rickard will no have occasion to regret that he al lowed himself to be drawn into the ‘| vortex. "| Judging from the emoluments com '}manded by Johnson and Jeffries, : _|man in whom any interest in rin; [happenings was newly awakene [might be led to picture to pugilisti domain as a section thickly populate ‘| with cubs and would-be champion: ;|all clamoring for recognition an reaching out for big money. °| What are the facts? There are s , |few fighters of promise in sight tha {| the game seems doomed to die of it anition. It would not be fair to sa , |that 1909 wae a dead year in the d velopment of capable ring men, fc Y}iast year and the year before wer Ni very little better. Cole and Johnson, Cole and Johnson, the famous col- ored comedians and song writers, were-seen in their entertaining musical comedy, “The Red Moon," at the Wal- nut, in Cincinnati, this week. The humor that is introduced in the com- edy is of a good quality. Oole and Johnson, who wrote the book, lyrics and music of their production, do many clever things as the stars in this very interesting entertainment. The large chorus of very pretty col- ored girls know how to sing the catchy and beautiful music, and they know how to dance, “The Red Moon” is in three acts, while the costuming is entirely new designs of novelty and vivid coloring. A notable cast of colored artists, as- sisted the stars, including Aida Over- ton and Walker, who presented a new sensational dance entitled “Wildfire.” Abbie Mitchell, the clever, talented little singer, played the part of Min nehaha. Fanny Wise, Mollie Dill Elizabeth Williams, Mayme Butler the girl with the baritone voice; Sam Lueas, the old veteran; Edgar Connor three feet of ebony gracefulness, anc a large chorus, with the orchestre augmented to 20 pieces. WHAT'S IN McCLURES, ..McClure’s Magazine for January is a very attractive number with time- ly articles, entertaining fiction, a play, and beautiful illustrations. David Lathrop and George Kibbe Turner, in “A Billion of Treasure,” tell of the discovery of coal in Alaska, and the events that led up to the Ballinger- Pinchot controversy. David Soskice, author of “The Secrets of the Schleus- selburg,” tells the astonishing story of Bugene Azeff, the Russian spy, who for years acted as leader of the Rev- olutionary Party, being all the while in the pay of the Secret Police; Xavier Paoli, the French “Guardian of Kings,’ begins a notabfe series of Recollections of the Kings and Queens of Europe, the first being “Memories of Blizabeth of Austria;” and the story of the Ferrer Trial is told with new interest by Perceval Gibbon, who was on the spot and able to get a close view of Ferrer’s work in Spain. The magazine leads with the charming letters of an Ital- jan child, “The Heart of an Orphan;” other stories in the number are, “A Belated Boom,” by Stella Wynne Her- ron; “The Galvanizing of Olaf Lar- sen,” by David Henry Day, and a Henry Street story by Clara B. Laugh- lin, “The New One.” An unusual thing for MeClure’s is the publica- tion (the first of two instalments) of Arnold Bennett's’ London comedy, “What the Public Wants.” Theo- dosia Garrison contributes a poem on “The Neighbors.” NOTICE.

A Sunday-School Superintendent's Guide. An Educator's and a Missionary's Information Bureau. The University, the College and the Academy Reference. A Complete Directory of State Conventions Every pastor and superintendent may have this paper free for one year, if he will send in two paid subscribers at $1.00 each for one year. The departments that the National Baptist Review will carry embrace the following: First, General Reviews—Composed of editorials, editorial comments and denominational questions. Second, Sunday-School Reviews—This will be devoted to superintendents, teachers, their work and the Teacher-Training Service. Third, Pastoral Reviews—Which will embrace the work of the pastor at his church with a Homilite Review each week. Fourth, Educational Reviews—The work of the University, College, Academy and High School will be treated and kept up with in this department. Fifth, Missionary Reviews—Will contain a list of the time and place of meeting of all state and territorial conventions, the names and addresses of their officers and reports from the mission fields.

Her lectures in behalf of the Fireside School were highly appreciated as was shown by the large number of subscriptions to Hope and orders for other Fireside School literature taken. A few days before leaving the city a reception was tendered her at the home of Rev. J. Acox. Friends and former schoolmates did all in their power to make it pleasant for her.
