THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. V. HALLEY'S COMET RETURNS TO VISIT US ONCE MORE. Fiery Planet Visible Each Morning. CAN BE SEEN WITH THE NAKED EYE ABOUT THREE O'CLOCK IN THE . MORNING—DISTINGUISHED WRITER TELLS INTERESTING STORY ABOUT THIS HISTORICAL . COMET—NAMED FOR CELEBRATED ENGLISHMAN—APPEARANCE ON SCHEDULED TIME. In the April 16th issue of the "Saturday Evening Post" Mr. Waldemar Kaempffert writing about Halley's comet says: During the month of August, 1909, every telescopic camera of the world was directed toward the Twins, partly as a matter of astronomical routine, but chiefly because in that particular region of the sky the first photographic glimpse of Halley's comet might be obtained. It fell to the lot of a distinguished German astronomer, Dr. Max Wolf, of Heidelberg, whose special branch is celestial photography, to discover that famous celestial wanderer on September 11, '09, almost exactly where he hoped to find it. To an unpracticed eye the comet would have seemed like every other speck of light on his negative. Even the skilled Wolf detected it only by its movement; for it was never in the same relative position on two plates exposed twenty-four hours apart. On all these early photographs the comet was anything but that fearsome object which alarmed humanity when it first flashed into visibility ages ago and reappeared at more or less regular intervals of seventy-five to seventy-eight years. What Wolf saw on his plates was merely an inconspicuous white blur, not much larger than a pinhead, and unadorned with that tail which has ever been regarded as a comet's most striking characteristic. As it rushed on toward the earth and the sun at the speed of three million miles a day—a speed that will increase as it approaches the sun—the comet became telescopically visible in October. Soon after, distortions were detected which were the first signs of a tail that will stream brilliantly behind the comet when it is revealed to the naked eye. Because comets, unlike the planets, are not confined to any one section of space, an inquiring mind may well ask: How did Wolf know where to direct his telescopic camera, and how did he know what the shifting speck of light on his negatives really was? Unlike most bodies of its kind, Halley's is a periodic comet. It swings around the sun at fairly regular intervals and is as much a part of our solar system as the Earth, Mars, Jupiter or Venus. It has not only a period of revolution but a history which is intimately identified with the history of civilization—for it blazed in the sky when William of Normandy conquered England in 1066, when the Turks were at war with Christendom in 1456, when the great reformation of Europe was at its height in 1531, when Jamestown was settled in 1607, when Louis XIV was fighting his enemies in 1682, and when the Seven Years' War of English history was in full blast in 1759. Two mathematicians of the Greenwich Observatory, Messrs. Cowell and Crommelin have made a special study of these past appearances. Ardouis is a word which but mildly expresses the character of their labors. A comet is pulled this way by one planet and that way by another, for which reason its path through the heavens is both devious and uncertain. Besides the perturbations of the known planets, allowance had to be made for disturbances caused by planets that probably drift in space far beyond the orbit of Neptune—2,791,600,000 miles distant from the sun—and which may never be seen except in the mind's eye of the mathematician. Despite all these uncertain factors there was not a minute since its last NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1910. M. B. appearance, in 1835, that Cowell and Crommelin could not have laid a mathematical finger upon Halley's comet. That is why they had only to say to the astronomers of the world: "Point your telescopes to right ascension 6 hours, 18 minutes and 12 seconds, and declination 17 degrees, 11 minutes on September 11, 1909, and you will find Halley's comet within a few seconds of that spot." And that is why Wolf was not blindly groping in space for a comet when he systematically photographed the Twins. Right ascension and declination are the astronomical equivalent of longitude and latitude. Hence the finding of Halley's comet is very much like telling a navigator to sail for an island in longitude 105 degrees east of Greenwich, and latitude 5 degrees north. STRONG PLEA BY R. E.

DISCUSSES "TRIANGLE OF LIFE" —POINTS THE WAY TO TRUE SUCCESS IN LIFE—ADVOCATES SELF-RESPECT, SELF-KNOWL EDGE AND SELF-CONTROL—PROVES THAT SUCH A POLICY WOULD BE SAFE AT ALL TIMES It was Edmund Halley, Newton's most intimate friend and adviser, who first succeeded in plotting a comet's orbit and bringing into mathematical harmony with the rest of the universe a class of bodies that had terrified mankind for ages. Newton's law of gravitation, so new a discovery in those days that it was not yet seriously accepted by the world, taught that comets must move in orbits which are parabolas, hyperbolas or ellipses, all of them curves obtained by cutting a cone in different ways. The comets that move in parabolas and hyperbolas visit once and disappear forever in the depths of space; but the comets that travel along ellipses—which are closed curves—may reappear again. It occurred to Halley that the comets of 1531, 1607 and 1682, separated by an interval of seventy-five years, might really be the same body moving in an elliptical orbit. His computations, quite as remarkable for his day as Cowell and Crommelin's for ours, so firmly convinced him that they were the same body that he ventured the prediction of a reappearance in 1758. Past the prime of life when he made his prediction, and realizing that he would never live to see its fulfillment, he left behind him this patriotic plea for recognition: Wherefore, if according to what we have already said it should return again about the year 1758, candid posterity will not refuse to acknowledge that this was first discovered by an Englishman. With poetic fitness the comet blazed forth on Christmas day, 1758, and candid posterity has ever since called it Halley's comet. It reappeared faithfully in 1835 and is scheduled to swing around the sun on April 20, 1910. Three or more exact observations made on different dates will show just how much a comet's course will swerve from a straight line. On (Continued on Page 8.) STRONG PLEA BY R. E. JONES, D.

When a triangle is spoken, of the mind at once forms a picture of an area bounded by three sides. These sides may or may not be equal. My subject is based on the principle of an equilateral, having all sides and all angles equal. Any one side could be the base and still the relative positions of the other two would be the same. Remove a side and you reduce the area to nothing and destroy the figure. All the principles thus involved in an equilateral triangle are illustrated in my subject. There are certain principles of life and of diving that are essential. While there may be differences of opinion as to the finer arts of life, still there can be no difference of opinion as to the fundamentals. The triangle of life which I desire to leave with you has for its three sides, sell-knowledge, self-respect and self-control. The area this incloses will be an honorable and successful life. These are equal sides, taking self-knowledge as the base. Tennyson, the immortal, encouched these three principles in the following strong and choice language: "Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self "Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self control, These three alone lead life to sovereign power." the highway of the world's life are to be found monuments commemorating ideals approached and attained and as well wreckages of shattered hopes and aspirations. Governments have risen and faded; monarchs crowned and dethroned; principles enunciated and disproved; laws enacted and repealed; inventions patented and laid aside—all in the effort of adjustment to life ideals. There has been clash between intelligence and ignorance; between the strong and the weak: be tween wealth and poverty; between high and low; between righteousness and sin indeed,—all the records of the world's life contain but the account of man's adjustment to his ideal and to the rights and privileges of society. This school is maintained by the church and the state and directed by this cultured and splendid faculty for the proper adjustment of this student body to the forces of this nation and world so that each individual may contribute his not in the mighty chorus of the psalm of life. a note that shall be perfect in tone as well as harmonious in pitch to all others. He would be a traitor to the sentiment of this occasion who did not at least attempt to furnish some light or stimulus that will aid those who are about to go out of school life into life's school in order that they may be somewhat the better prepared for the duties of life and for the readjustment that must certainly take place. The making of man was the climax of God's creation and everyth that exists has consciously or unconsciously partaken of the purpose of the divine government in this world, namely, the building of man. Our very existence, therefore, demands, that we be our best selves, and those who are about to enter upon life's battles should know that that which awaits them will tax their utmost strength and they will most successfully meet the conflicts of life who have best prepared themselves. Days that are yet to be born will be fraught with new privileges as well as new responsibilities. Society is to be reformed; the oppressed made free; governments made pure; standard of moral life lifted; the dark sky of ignorance dispelled and the kingdom of grace advanced. For all this and more there must be genuine manhood and womanhood, which must take of heredity, environments and the opportunities that are afforded. Art, music, flowers, beautiful landscape, science and religion exist for the glorification and elevation of mankind. The plant is but the crystallization of soil, water and air through an evolutionary process. Man must, therefore, partake of life that is about him in all of its phases and thus evolve a full blown creature in tastes and culture after the similitude of God. The building of a man is the task of the centuries. By so much that enters into the building by so much will he be. Here is our problem—Given a soul rare capabilities, God endowed, how can that soul best conserve happiness and well being for himself and helpfulness to society. It is to be hoped that if the triangle of life does not give a solution satisfactory to all, it will, nevertheless, be a means of helpfulness to many a struggling soul ascending the heights of life. Let us take first, as the base, our triangle—Self-knowledge. At this point the words of Whittier in that searching poem, "My Soul and I." are very appropriate: "Stand still, my Soul, in the silent dark I would question Thee Alone in the shadow drear and stark, With God and me." He who would have success in life must know himself better than he knows anyone else or anything else. Let him take himself to the dissecting room and bar the door until he stands alone in his own presence, and there probe to the very seat of life and answer these questions: Who am I? Who am I by capability, by weakness, by inspiration? Whence am I? This involves the question of heredity, environments and all natural limitations. Whither go I? Whither go I in aspirations as the result of who I am and whence I come? What am I good for? This is, what can I do by the reason of having been so born and so lifted and so moved by aspiration? What can I best do? The individual must become thoroughly acquainted with himself. Know the history that is behind him. The depth or height of heredity from which he has been digged. Thoroughly ramiaril with his environments, conscious of the forces and of all the currents of life that are about him. He shall take his bearing, find a known point, and that point in himself, and from the known proceed to the unknown. He shall know his likes and dislikes, his passions and desires. Know the deepest yearnings of his nature in clouds and in sunshine. Know himself under all circumstances, whether amid the throngs that applaud or in lonliness that discourages; know himself in time of battles as well as in peace; know his points of strength as well as his points of weakness; know what he can do and what he cannot do. Should we attempt to discuss the failures of men because they were not conscious of their powers, or the fall- No.16. G. M. E. BISHOP CONFERENCE MEETING CONVENES MAY 4—MANY PROMINENT CANDIDATES TO SELECT FROM—RACE EXPECTED TO BE HEATED ONE—SPECULATION AS TO THE NUMBER THAT WILL BE ELECTED—MANY MATTERS OF GREAT IMPORT WILL COME BEFORE THE CONFERENCE. From all indications and from what can be learned here and there, it seems that the problem of the bishopric that is to come before the general conference of the C. M. E. Church, which will convene in Augusta, Ga., on May 4, is by no means entirely solved. Within the past eight days there seems to have been a general shifting of positions and, in some instances, a change of sentiment as to the probable successful candidates for the various positions to be filled by election at the conference. There are some nice plums to be handed out by the conference and it seems that the delegates are looking with an eagle's eye for the competent ones rather than the prominent ones, as some think. There is not a general office, however prominent it may loom up, that is more desirable than that of bishopric. While many of the members of the connection admit the competency of a host of divines, yet only a small number will be considered in May. There is a lot of work to come before the conference; a number of officers to be elected, and possibly the re-organization of the operation of all the church work. For instance, there will be a secretary of the Epworth League, the leading candidate for this position being Dr. J. W. Lewis, of Texas; a financial secretary, which is a splendid berth and which is being sought by Rev. G. I. Jackson, whose long pastorate of Caper's Chapel makes him well known in Nashville; a missionary secretary, which seems to be in the grasp of Rev. Dr. West; a church extension fund secretary, now held by Rev. R. S. Stont, D. D., with headquarters at Little Rock, Ark.; an editor of the Christian Index, which position is now held by Rev. R. T. Brown, with Rev. R. A. Carter, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., as an aspirant. However, with all of this, there is the liveliest interest in the selection of the bishops, the results of which will not be known until the ballots are counted. There are some very important divines mentioned as likely to wear this exalted title; a recount and another canvass bringing out the names of Rev. J. W. McKinney, A. M., D. D., of Sherman, Texas, a presiding elder of the Fort Worth District; Rev. R. T. Brown, D. D., editor of the Christian Index, Jackson, Tenn., who is serving his second term as editor; Rev. R. S. Stout, D. D., Secretary of the Church Extension Board, of Little Rock, Ark., as the three leaders. There seems to be a great difference of opinion as to which two of this leading trio will be landed. A prominent member of the connection ventures the assertion that they will be elected in their order named, while another claims they will start from the last and stop at the second. However this may be, the contest promises to be close and interesting. A goodly number of the delegates passed through Nashville en route to Augusta. Such well-known bishops as L. H. Hosley, of Atlanta, Ga.; Isaac Lane, of Jackson, Tenn.; R. S. Williams, of Augusta, Ga.; Elias Cottrell, of Holly Springs, Miss., and C. H. Phillips, of this city, will be there. Among others who are known to be workers in the coming conference are Drs. L. H. Brown, of Louisville, Ky.; C. L. Brown, of Georgia; J. Winston, of St. Louis, Mo.; C. H. Phillips, Jr., of Tyler, Tex.; Prof. Isaac Lane, Jr., of Jackson, and T. J. Moppins, of this city, the present pastor of Caper's Chapel.

Atlanta, Ga.—As a fitting climax to the extensive preparations that this city is making to entertain the fifth annual session of the National Baptist Sunday-school Congress another milestone was reached when the Sunday-School Union, an organization of the Baptist Sunday-schools in this city, met and voted unanimously to co-operate with the various churches, pastors and citizens in the entertaining of the coming session of the Congress. This action is taken here by the people of Atlanta to mean that nothing is now in the way of the success of the entertainment of the delegates and religious workers who will come to Georgia's capital from every por- SOCIETY BADGES All Styles and Prices MEMBER LOCAL N2 1 I.U.J.H.

The Sunday-School Union is a strong religious organization of superintendents, teachers and Sunday-school workers of Atlanta. They have from time to time taken the deepest interest in all that pertains to the aplift of Sunday-school work. They not financially in defraying the expense only voted a hearty co-operation of the Congress, but decided to assist incurred by this meeting. The Union will work jointly in hearty accord with the general committee and various special committees appointed to prepare for the coming of these delegates. In fact, Atlanta has never before witnessed the interest that has been injected into this distinctively denominational feature of the religious work. While the meeting will be a Baptist gathering, the people of this city have shown as on more than one occasion, that they will be cosmopolitan in their hearty reception, as well as the entertainment of these worthy. EVERYBODY IS INTERESTED. A message just received by the Secretary of the Congress Movement coming from Mr. H. Thomas Calloway, of Chicago, Ill., who is constantly traveling over the United States, declares that "Everywhere I have gone I have found the Congress spirit, or the Atlanta fever on a large number of people. They declare they are coming to Atlanta, Ga., that they will take advantage of the reduced rates offered by the railroads. Some are coming to the Congress; some are coming to take advantage of the Old Home Week, which will be celebrated in Atlanta during the session of the Congress; while the remaining part of those visiting are going to get real information and be benefited by this gathering of Sunday-school workers." Mr. Calloway visits many cities of the United States and attends many conventions, associations and annual gatherings. His statement is regarded as authority on the interest that is manifested throughout the country in this gathering of religious workers. He is well and favorably known in Nashville. (No.26850.)

The Executive Board of the National Baptist Convention is hereby called to meet with the Abyssinian Baptist Church, New York City, on Thursday, June 2nd, 1910, for the purpose of arranging a program for the Thirtieth Anniversary of said Convention, which will meet at New Orleans, La. September 14-19, 1910. The Board meeting will be held in connection with the annual meeting of the New England Baptist Convention; and will give all those who are planning to attend the Edinburgh Missionary Conference an opportunity of being both at the Board meeting and the New England Convention before leaving for Europe. The Chairman and Secretary of each of the several Boards of the National Convention, the Vice-Presidents and the officers of the Convention constitute the Board for the purpose of making the Program for the Annual Meetings of the Convention. By order of the Boards. E. C. MORRIS, President; R. B. HUDSON, Secretary. INSTALLATION OF MUTUAL AID ASSOCIATION. The installation of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Drivers Mutual Aid Association was held last Friday evening, April 15, 1910. Mr. Wm. C. Foster president of the D. M. A. A. master of the ceremonies, installed the following officers and trustees: Mrs. Fannie Richardson, President; Mrs. Ruth Davis, Vive-President; Hattie Pullins, Financial Secretary; Mrs. Bessie McCauley, Recording Secretary; Mrs. Lula McEwen, Treasurer; Miss Sophia Page, Chaplain; Mrs. Mary Fall, Chief Marshal; Mrs. Lucy Rhodes, Sentinel; Mrs. Maria Burrus, Chairman Sick Committee; Trustees: Bettie Thompson, Chairman; Miss Nannie Rhodes, Miss Ema Atchison, Miss Florence Foster, Miss Martha McFerrin, Mr. L. G. North, Chairman; S. J. Chandler, Phillip, Douglass, Joe Sawyers, Job Sharpe. After installing the officers short addresses were made by the members of D. M. A. A. Refreshments were served. The Ladies Auxiliary has a financial membership of about ninty members. The auxiliary has made a wonderful success since it organization 1904. HELIOTROPE CIRCLE. The Helietrope Circle met at the home of Mrs. A. J. Ransom, of Twelfth avenue, South, April 12, 1910. The president, Mrs. J. B. Batte, presided. Prayer was offered by the president. Those present responded to roll call with quotations. The majority of the ladies failed to bring ribbons for making roses, therefore, rose-making was deferred till next meeting. After the discussion of business, the Circle was turned over to Mrs. J. P. Crawford, who conducted two games. The prize for the first—a literary game—a whist-broom holder, was won by Mrs. Ed Buford. The second prize, a beautiful apron, for the test of the senses was won by Mrs. Durant Houston. An elaborate two-course menu was served by the hostess and much enjoyed by all. The Circle adjourned to meet with Mrs. E. D. Richmond, of Phillips street. DR. ISAAC TO PASTOR IN MOBILE Mobile, Ala.—It is learned here that the Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, D. D., has been called to the pastorate of the Franklin Street Baptist Church, of this city, and that he will come here at once to take charge. This is one of the best known churches in Alabama and was brought into prominence on account of having been pastored by the late Rev. A. N. McEwen, D. D. It carries one of the largest congregations in the city. Your correspondent has tried to ascertain whether this call was permanent or simply temporary, as it is known here that Rev. Dr. Isaac is the Secretary of the B. Y. P. U. Board, at Nashville, Tenn., as well as the Editor of The Union, the official organ of the National Baptist Convention. Several members of the Franklin Street Church were seen, among them being Messrs. Anderson Young and Nathan Jones, but all that could be learned was that Dr. Isaac would be here. Neither of them would say definitely what the terms of the call include, but the church and the people of Mobile are looking forward with great joy to his coming. Rev. S. M. Fisher, D. D., the popular pastor of the St. Louis Baptist Church, is among the delegates going to Edinburgh, Scotland, in June. Rev. Fisher's congregation is preparing to send him. He will go by way of Atlanta to attend the Sunday-School Congress and from Atlanta to New York, thence to Europe. * * * H. Roger Williams, M. D., the proprietor of 3 of the best known stores of this city, is the object of some very conspicuous complaints. They say his stores are named First, "The Eagle;" second, "The Owl;" third, "The Pelican." He is said to have presented the M. E. Church, of which he is a member, with a pipe organ. Dr. and Mrs. Belsaw, of this city, are planning an extended trip through the East this summer, going via Birmingham and Nashville. DEATHS. Geo. Trousdale, 50 years, 516 Fourth avenue, North.

MARTIN NOTES. The closing exercises of the public school Friday night, 15th inst., were one of the interesting events of the week. Each number was roundly applauded. Certificates of promotion to the sixth grade were presented by Miss Lillie Cook, of the seventh grade to Alice Brooks, Vera Mitchell and Mona Russ. William, the youngest son of Rev. and Mrs. H. G. Harris, died at the home of his parents Friday morning, 15th inst., after an illness of three weeks. Mr. Harris was in his twenty-first year and was for several years a member of the Baptist church. He lived a life in keeping with his profession. The host of friends who followed his remains to the station, thence to Huntingdon for interment, was a silent argument of the esteem in which he was held by all who knew him. Mr. Ransom Harris, of Chicago, came down Thursday to be at the bedside of his brother, William, who died recently. Prof. W. H. Fort, for the past eight months principal of our school, left Saturday, 16th, for Nashville, going through Memphis to be present at the funeral of his friend, Levi S. Orr, Past Grand Master of the Odd Fellow's Grand Lodge of Tennessee. Miss Linella Long has been offered the position of local representative of the Nashville Globe. Preparations are being made for the Summer Normal to be held in our city for three weeks beginning about June. Anthony Baugh and Camilla Greef received the highest marks for attendance during the school term just closed, not having missed a day. Let us adopt the Nashville Glove as our city organ and take same. Who's first? WHAT IS A NEGRO IN LAW? The Supreme Court of Louisiana has a question before it which is of great interest to the people of that State. This is a case which comes up from the Circuit Court, in which Judge Chretien decided that the anticoncubinage law passed at the last session of the Legislature was unconstitutional. He held that a person of mixed white and Negro blood was not a Negro. If this doctrine should be upheld by the Supreme Court, then every Louisiana statute providing for the segregation or separation of the races would prove null and void. Among these statutes are those providing for a separate Jim Crow car system and separation of the races in the street cars, theaters, railroad stations, hotels and bar-rooms. What is known as the Shattuck law closed four-fifths of the saloons in the State for Negroes, and has proved a blessing to the race. The marriage laws of Louisiana have almost extinguished liaisons between the whites and blacks. The case now before the Supreme Court is that of Octave Threadway, a white man, and Josephine Lighthi, an octoctoron. They lived together as man and wife, but were prohibited from marriage by the old anti-miscegenation law. The District Attorney began proceedings against them, and they fled to New Orleans, where they hoped to be lost sight of, but family bitterness parsed them, and they were brought to trial and their attorney pleaded that Josephine was not a Negro, but an octoaroon. The Judge sustained the plea, deciding that a person in whom white blood predominated could not be called a Negro. If this decision is sustained, it will have far-reaching consequences.

Noel, of 903 Fifth avenue, South, were conducted Sunday, April 17, '10, at 11 o'clock a. m. at Howard Congregational Church. A very large and sympathetic congregation was present. Rev. G. Lake Imos, the pastor, conducted the services by announcing appropriate hymns, offering a fervent prayer and by reading the Scriptures. Rev. G. W. Moore, D. D., a life-long friend of the family, preached an excellent sermon from the word of Christ to his disciples, "Lo, I am with you always even unto the end of the world." Other friends of the family who delivered addresses were Bishop C. H. Phillips, Dean H. H. Wright, of Fisk University; Dean G. W. Hubbard, of Meharry Medical College. The floral designs were numerous and beautiful, some of which came from friends in distant cities. With all the srevices were very impressive.

The following obituary was read by the pastor: Henry Thomas Niel, Jr., the eldest child of Henry Thomas Noel and Maria Lee Compton Noel, was born in Nashville, Tenn., May 21, 1883. In this same city he was reared to manhood, attending the public schools, Walden and Fisk Universities. After completing his Junior year at Fisk he went to Detroit, Mich., with the intention of entering the Medical Department of Ann Arbor University. It was while in Detroit, Mich., that a slight accident occured which proved later to be most serious. While skating on Lake Michigan he had the misfortune to fall in the lake. He, nevertheless got out, but was attacked with pneumonia shortly which caused his mother to be hurriedly summoned to his bedside., with whose careful nursing he recovered; but the attack weakened his constitution and brought the later development which closed his life. From time to time his days were spent in ceaseless quest of health and vigor. Colorado, California, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico all were made to serve with their climate his purpose, the last place visited being Phoenix, Arizona. Back and forth he travelled sometimes alone, sometimes accompanied by his devoted mother, who seven times journeyed to his bedside in distant parts, crossing the Mississippi fourteen times in her zeal for his welfare. A little more than three months ago a last hurried trip was made to Phoenix, and five weeks past the last journey was made homeward. Here he suffered with never-failing hope and faith till the end came quietly on Thursday evening at 6 p. m. Here was a boy, the hope of his parents, the idol of his sister and beloved of all who ever knew or even met him; of sunny, winning disposition; all were won by his warm and affectionate manner. At the time the seeds of death were sown, so were also the seeds of life, for seven years ago he confessed Jesus Christ as his Lord and Master and united with Howard Congregational Church during the pastorate of Dr. Bond. This faith sustained him and comforted him during all his way, and especially as the end drew nigh his lips flowed with a sense of satisfaction and rest in Christ. "Rest, rest," were the last words of conscious moments. In all the days of suffering steady grit and strong determination of life were made. Only when the body was completely broken did the spirit leave for another and better tabernacle. This may be accounted for by his ardent desire to repay the attention and devotion of his loving parents for which he was deeply grateful. Thus was ended a young life of faith and of much suffering, but full also of the glory of God and of the knowledge of Jesus Christ his Son. The pall-bearers were as follows: THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. APRIL 22. 1910. Marshall Cheatham, Bugent Price, Eugene Page, Milton Jackson, Dr. J. A. Napier, Jasper Phillips and C. N. Langston. WEDNESDAY MUSICAL The Wednesday Musical met with Miss Flora Wright March 16, 1910. The lesson for this meeting was the three movements of the Sonata. Articles from the February Etude were discussed by all the members, after which the following program was rendered: Sonata (Adagio) op. 10 No. 3.... ...Beethoven Miss Caruthers. Sonata (Allegro) op. 7....Haydn Miss Wright. Sonata (Allegretto) op. 14 No. 1.... ...Beethoven Mr. Imes. April Fooling ...Robinson Mrs. Cameron. Chanson Friste ...Tschaikowsky Miss Overstreet. The guest for this meeting was Miss Ward, of Fisk. On April 6th, 1910, The Wednesday Evening Musical met with the president, Mrs. S. M. Brown, and Miss Jennie Lee Anderson. The meeting was almost entirely devoted to the study and the discussion of the March number of the Etude. Miss Jennie Lee Anderson played "Printana Waltz" by Theo, Lack, and Mrs. Brown sang "I'd live or I'd die for you." Miss Laura E. Allen was the guest of the club, and played "Heart's Message" by (Clifton Hayes) in a very charming and creditable manner. The next meeting will be with Miss Hunter, April 20, 1910. WOODLAWN NOTES On Thursday night, April 7, Mr. Ed Dabney and Miss Estelle, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Leavell, were united in matrimony. The affair was simple, but beautiful. Miss Madie Leavell, cousin of the bride, was maid and Mr. Hezekiah Woods best man. This was our fourth marriage within a month; three of them being in the same family. Mr. Washington Anderson, Sr., and Mr. Richard Poindexter are not much improved. Mrs. Jas. H. Cordele spent Sunday with her mother. Mrs. Mary C. Belle and little daughter, Louise, and nephew, Archie R. Belle, attended services at Rossview, Tenn., on the 10th inst. Mrs. Louise Carr and Miss Susie S. Johnson spent Thursday in Clarksville. Mr. C. H. Barker and Mrs. Willie Mal Johnson are slightly indisposed. Mr. Wm. H. Leavell, of St. Louis, Mo., spent a pleasant hour Sunday afternoon with his old teacher, Mrs. Mary C. Belle. The examination for the County schools is in progress, and many little hearts are beating in suspense. Mr. Anthony Tandy, of St. Charles, Ky., is here for a few days. SHELBYVILLE NOTES. Mrs. Annie C. Boddie, of Tullahoma, is visiting out at Turner Normal spending a few days with her daughter, Miss Madge. The play, "My Lady Darrell," by the students of Turner Normal, last Friday night, at the city opera house was a great success. The rain prevented many from attending, but a good audience greeted the students, and the play was well executed. Each person performed his or her part well. Miss Dora A. Jones was leading lady, taking the part of "Countess Darrell." Miss Agnes P. Hampton, in playing the role of "Viola," exhibited characteristics of a born actress. The "Villian" was played by Mr. A. L. Furgerson almost to perfection. The play will probably be repeated just before the close of school. Mrs. Tiny Cunningham has gone to Tullahoma to visit her daughter, Mrs. Holman. She sends words back that the stork had slipped in just ahead of her, and when she arrived she found an addition to the family in the person of a ten-pound boy. Rev. H. L. P. Jones preached at the A. M. E. Church last Sunday night. Mrs. F. W. Gardner entertained Mrs. Boddie at luncheon last Wednesday. The Senior English Class gave a social entertainment last Wednesday night at the college chapel. It was highly enjoyed by all. RATS CAN BE EXTERMINATED ONLY BY STARVATION. A writer in McCLURE'S MAGAZINE for May describes what was done in San Francisco to rid the city of bubonic plague. Of course, it was a question of exterminating the rat. He says: "Trapping alone, or even poison, are rather to the advantage of the rats. Every living thing, save only civilized man, multiplies up to the limit of its food supply. To destroy, from time to time, three-quarters of the rats in a city only kills off the surplus population and makes life easy and food abundant for the rest. CHURCH DIRECTORY. PENTECOSTAL CHURCHES.

In general, all unsanitary structures inhabited by either men or animals were condemned, all sewers repaired and made tight, and all cellar floors relaid with cement, to do away with a favorite nesting-place of vermin. An elaborate card catalogue recorded one conditions of every building in the city; nearly four hundred recalcitrant persons suffered arrest; there were upward of eighty thousand abatements of nuisance.

Negro Reported Dead at Hands of Alabama Mob Makes Report. Special to The Globe Birmingham, Ala., April 13. After an afternoon paper and a morning one had declared him dead at the hands of an Ishkooda mob this morning, Stuart Holland, a Negro said to have been lynched came to Birmingham and had his wounds dressed. He is shot through the breast. He declares several men came to his house Sunday night and when he ran, shot him. He denies knowing anything of the shooting of Clerk Armstrong or of connection with Jim Seay, the missing Negro, who fired the probable fatal shot. 4 The Nashville Globe.

FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1910. PREPARE TO VOTE. Every man who is entitled to exercise the right of citizenship ought to be prepared to do so at all times. The affairs of the community, the state and the nation demand the consideration of all, and the man who refuses to do his part, or to bear his share of the public obligation is a cheat unworthy of the rights of a citizen. The Negroes of Tennessee are face to face with the greatest crisis that has ever prevailed in this state and they will be called upon to act their part as men. In the great issues that will come up for the people to settle at the polls, the Negro voters will have to set themselves on one side or the other, and cast their votes for what they believe to be right. But there is only one legitimate way any man can exercise the franchise right, and that is by paying a poll tax and registering as is required by law. Every man ought to pay a poll tax for himself, and then he ought to exercise the privilege the receipt for the same carries with it. The true and courageous citizen votes every time the rolls are opened. He takes the same interest in the election that affects his district as he does in those that affect the state or the nation. The man who is the greatest burden to a community is he who cannot see any need of voting in local elections. Too many Negroes have their hearts set on the election of presidents and take no interest whatever in home affairs. Such men are standing in their own light, and should be taught by those who are better informed, the folly in thinking so. We are living in a great state. Our resources are unlimited; and it behoves every man to become interested in the welfare of himself and his neighbors. There is no better way to prove that you are interested in your home than by paying a poll tax and fully exercising the privilege it guarantees. WISE PRECEDENTS There is a new spirit developing in this country in regard to men in public life succeeding themselves in office. The time was when the idea prevailed that a change should be made at every election. The opinion was that a public office was a "good thing" THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1910. and should be passed around. But that opinion is fast dying out. No better example need be cited than the case of the governorship of Tennessee. Hon. M. R. Patterson has served two terms as governor, but despite the old custom of changing after that length of time the democrats feel that it would be wise for the state to retain Mr. Patterson for a third term. No better man has ever served the state, and why change? All the people will hail the governor's announcement to run again with satisfaction, and will, we believe, compliment him with the largest vote in November that any man has ever received from the citizens of the Volunteer State. THE DANGER PERIOD. The American Negro has made such rapid progress in the forty odd years he has enjoyed his semi-freedom in this country that those who pretend to be the most prejudiced toward him are compelled to admit that his advancement has been marvelous. Newspapers and magazines have devoted column after column and page after page in laudation of the Negro, and while he deserves every word of praise that has been given, after all it would be well for him to remember that much is yet to be accomplished before he can take his place in the front ranks of the twentieth-century commercial advancement. All are familiar with the conditions that surrounded the four million slaves who were emancipated in 1865, and those who have been observant know somewhat of his standing to-day. And it is on this point that we wish to dwell. In literature, art and science the Negro has given a splendid account of himself. He has proven that his brain is as fertile as that of any other race; and one Negro is perfectly willing that every other Negro have all the learning he can get. The race is absolutely harmonious along that line, and we see no danger of a discord. In church, society and all things of a benevolent nature there is no apparent discord. But there is an accosiation in which trehe is great danger of the Negro striking a snag, namely, the world of commerce. The question yet to be answered is this: Can the Negro as a race and as an individual stand prosperity? Has he that pride that impels men to strive to help their fellow-men build up great enterprises? This is the great problem, and one that must be solved. If the Negro is to be a factor in the development of the world he must learn that it requires many years of earnest and persistent effort to build up commercial enterprises. He must learn that all men are not constructors. He must also learn that the man who is succeeding must be allowed to proceed in his own way, or else what he would make a success will be a sad failure. The Negro is making great strides with private concerns and with those organized by companies of men and established by societies, churches and other organizations, but there is too great a tendency on the part of those who think themselves learned and who are considered so by the people, to decry these efforts put forth for the good of the people. The individual Negro can succeed despite the faultfinding of the wise-acres if he will deal fair with the people, but it is not always possible for the man to do so who is managing a concern that is fostered by a company or organization. It is in the latter cases where the damage can be done; for the self-styled smart fellows can get in their work when the time comes for election. They can, if they have the desire—and they are liable to—incite the masses to believe that the man they have delegated to conduct their affairs is practicing dishonesty and these faultfinders can in many instances manipulate things to the end to have those do the voting who have been converted to their false teachings, and they can thereby put out of commission the man who is succeeding and put in a man of their choice. The new man may be alright, but he will have to learn how to do what he ha. has chosen to do, and the great danger lies in that probationary period. It happens in most cases that while the new manager is learning what to do and how best to perform his duties that the concern goes to the wall, and what others have worked years to construct is destroyed in a few months. Any great enterprise can be ruined in a short while by mismanagement, and if once a concern with large holdings starts on the descent, it is hard to check it before it is entirely destroyed. The American Negro needs to be educated along the line of self confidence. The individual who has confidence in self will succeed, and the successful man never mistrusts another who is succeeding. The few large enterprises owned and controlled by Negroes in this country are dear to the race. They serve as light houses of hope to the young and balms of consolation to the old. There is not one to spare, but a great need of many more. Those that are succeeding should receive hearty support regardless of the wails of the smart fellows who have failed in every thing they have undertaken. The thoughtful men and women of the race should make it their business to endeavor to show the masses the difference between failure and success, and when these calamity howlers start out to sow the seed of discontent, the danger signal should be given all along the line; for the greatest danger that confronts the American Negro to-day is the attempt on the part of some of those who pose as leaders among the people, but who are failures themselves, to decry those men who are succeeding. If the foothold the race has now is lost it will require a much longer period to regain it than it has taken to accomplish what has been done. And with the radical changes that are taking place in this country there is a great probability that if the enterprises now conducted by the Negro should receive reverses the whole race would be in danger of being reduced to serfdom for all time to come. We highly appreciate the compliment paid us by our esteemed friend, Mr. R. W. Thompson, in his classy "Side Lights in the Freeman of last week. We have aimed to always say what we thought to be to the best interest of all the people, and if our feeble efforts find favor, we consider that a just reward for our labors. We are indebted to Dr. Booker T. Washington for a copy of the proceedings of the 1909 session of the National Negro Business League. We find it a helpful document. The printing was done by the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, of this city, which is sufficient guarantee that the work is first-class. Halley's comet is visible in the mornings between three and four o'clock. Every baby ought to be awakened and shown this great visitor, for before its return the mass of us will be in the great beyond. We welcome to our desk The East Tennessee News. It is a newsy sheet, clean cut and well printed. Long may it live to aid in pointing the Negroes of Tennessee and of the nation to higher things. The special baseball number of the Freeman of the 15th instant is an eye-opener. Nashville is well represented by Bruce Petway, a product of our own grassy common. If the Negroes of Tennessee are going to have a State Fair in 1910 it is time they should begin thinking about it. Do not forget that you can extend the clean-up period as long as you desire so long as you keep cleaning. Spring time will come some day, but do not allow your coal pile to run too low yet. THE POLICY OF THE GLOBE COMMENDED. Mr. R. W. Thompson, President of the National Negro Press Association, in the Indianapolis Freeman of April 15, 1910, says: "One of the cleanest and most thoughtful race journals in the country is the Nashville Globe, edited by Mr. D. A. Hart. It is a five-column quarto, and is set up by linetype throughout. The Globe is now in its fifth year, and in celebrating its anniversary, the editor stated in modest vein that it had been the policy of the paper to espouse the cause of the peo- Maryland, my Maryland, what will you do next?

Under the title of "The New American City Government" George Kibbe Turner tells in the May McClure's of the rapid spread of the commission form of government; Burton J. Hendrick has an article on "The Skulls of Our Immigrants" which upsets the belief so long held by scientists that the skull was the one thing that could not change; W. A. Du Puy and E. T. Brewster show what the rat has cost us in lives and money, and M. Paoli gives his reminiscences of the Czar of Russia. Foremost in the fiction is an unusual detective story, "The Anthropologist at large," by Dr. R. A. Freeman, editor of the London Lancet. Other stories are "The Glamour" by Oscar Graeve; "The Blue Pearl" by Neith Boyce; "The Nineteenth Hat" by Arnold Bennett; "The Point of View," another war story by "Ols Luk-Ole;" and "The Education of King Peter" by Edgar Wallace. ONE MAN IN EVERY FOUR IN NEW YORK A JEW. (Burton J. Hendrick in McClure's MAGAZINE for May.) MAGAZINE for May.) The last great element in present-day immigration is, properly speaking, not European at all, but Oriental. The migration of hundreds of thousands of eastern European Jews to the United States is one of the stupendous facts of modern times. It is unquestionably the most far-reaching event in the annals of Israel since the fall of Jerusalem. Purely from the standpoint of numbers, history records nothing like it. In the two thousand years that this people has been homeless, forcing its presence upon the un'welcoming nations of Europe, it has been subjected to many expulsions, many forced migrations; but never have its comings and goings resembled the present masslike movement to the United States. The expulsion of the Jews from England, in the reign of Edward I., is a sorry chapter in their history; yet this edict exiled only about 15,000 people, less than one-tenth the number that landed in New York last year. The expulsion of the Jews from Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella has been tragically described by many historians, but it affected only 150,000 souls, less than one quarter of the present Jewish population of New York. Jerusalem, in its greatest days, contained less than one-sixth the number of Jews now found in the American metropolis; indeed, about one-tenth of all the Jews in the world, or 800,000, live upon Manhattan Island and the adjoining territory. In the greater city one man in every four is a Jew. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The meeting Sunday at the head quarters was very interesting and many good points discussed. The subject for discussion was "Duty" and the discussion was led by Prof. E. W. Benton, who drew many helpful ideas to mind. The attendance was fair. Among the visitors were Rev. Father Dardis who was introduced and welcomed in a very forcible manner for some few minutes giving wholesome advice. We were glad to see him. The Bible study class continues to grow in importance. We regret that more do not take advantage of this glorious opportunity to learn more of the Bible. Dr. Ellington instructs this class on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 p. m. Come. The Y. M. C. A. is now offering an opportunity to every young man who wishes to continue his branches of study. We are conducting classes and taking up whatever branch you desire. Tuesday night at 6:45 we begin instruction. Every one, whether member of Y. M. C. A. or not, should take advantage of these classes. ple to the best of its ability, and that for all time to come the Globe would see to it that the Negro's bright side should be kept before the world's view. Mr. Hart also remarked: "We have not pleased all the people at all times, but we can truthfully say that we have always striven to be just loward every one." The Globe is a credit to Negro journalism and is a leader in the corps that is maintaining the confidence of both races in the craft—a work that means so much to all the people." When the news of Rev. E. W. D. Isaac's call and reported acceptance of the church at Mobile, Ala., reached this city, it created quite a stir and much speculation was indulged in by the members of the Baptist family, as this city is looked upon by the other denominations, and has been so regarded by them, as the headquarters of the National Baptist Concention. Some seemed to think that it meant the moving of the B. Y. P. U. Board and the Union with offices at 409 Gay street. A Gloe representative called up the office but was informed that Dr. Isaac was out of the city, but would be back in the course of a day or so. The clerk in the office said she did not think he had accepted, but that he would superintend the church work until the meeting of the National Baptist Convention. It further developed, however, that the Rev. Dr. Isaac has made all arrangements. e spend practically the most of his time out of Nashville, as it is said he will open and maintain southern headquarters in the city or Mobile. Inquiry among the Baptist preachers of the city brought out nothing except that it was not believed that any of the National Conventions Boards would be moved from Nashville as their convention voted long since to maintain them here. SUCCESSEUL GROCER. No on in the city of Murfreesboro, doubts the ability of Mr. J. C. Blake, a well-known grocer, who by the hardest and the most painstaking efforts has built up a creditable business in that burg. There are a number of competent merchants at Murfreesboro, who are worthy of praise and honorable mention, Mr. Blake being one of the number. In a recent conversation, I learned that as a business man he ranks among the leading citizens, conducting his grocery on the most conservative and well-regulated plan. It is not surprising that the rapid growth of his trade has been a noticeable feature in Murfreesboro's advancement in the commercial world. Being connected, as he is, with every movement that tends to build up a population and implant the commercial idea among the members of his race. THE Y. M. L. C. The meeting Monday night was of a rare kind, the programme being the main feature. "The Negro Boy," by Mr. Carter; "Andean Tunnel," by Mr. Bond, and an address, Mr. Kinzer, interspersed with song, was an occasion that gave vent to a great success along with this a report from the chairman in charge of our Library Committee, who made a very creditable report. And to our friends who are interested in our motives need not be alarmed when we ask your assistance in our welfare and undertaking to replenish our library. The next meeting will be held at the home of A. R. Stockard. Mr. Major Petterson was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert White last Sunday. THE ONLY ORIGINAL Folk Songs TAKE FIRST RANK. Commenting upon the singing of the songs in our Folk Songs No.1. by a male quartette DR. HENRY E. KREBBIEL, "Dean of American Critics" says: "A concert-goer might live a lifetime and never hear such beautiful homogeneity of tone as that which they produce, nor such euphony, perfection of uniance and precision. Save for its vital human quality, which lifts it above all musical products, this harmony sounds like that of a well-tuned organ." This recognition puts our Folk Songs side by side with the world's greatest musical achievements. This music is suitable for the parlor, the school, the church. SEND 25e. FOR SAMPLE COPY.

The young people are among Centerville's best socially, and their marriage, owing to their youth, was a surprise to their many friends. Mr. and Mrs. Crosby at once left for Gardenburg, where they will make their future home. Mr. Charley Whiteside, one of Centerville's best and oldest citizens, is now in Nashville. Rumor has it that he will bring back one of the fair sex to adorn his home. Rev. Waterford on last Sunday preached one of the best sermons that he has preached since his coming to this place. His subject was, "Christian Inconsistency." This sermon and the manner in which he treated it will, no doubt, make a lasting impression on those who heard it. Rev. Waterford boasts of having the best chorus in the Dickson District. Much praise for this should be given to Dr. Posey, who is the leader. He recently made the chorus class a present of a full set of song books. Mr. Joe Walker, on South Columbia avenue, is preparing to repair his home. Mr. Sam Ward and Mr. H. C. Bailley are both enjoying newcomers from "baby land." Mrs. Emma Roberson, who has been sick for some time, is still very low. CULLEOKA NOTES. The sermon preached by M. D.

DAVIDSON COUNTY REPUBLI- CANS. Harmony seems to have prevailed at the meeting of the Davidson County Republican Convention which was held last Saturday in the hall of the Twin Building on Cedar street. Practically every precinct in the county and every ward in the city had a full delegation. It would appear that a deal of attention has been given to the coming campaign, and especially the republican primary, which is to be held at an early date. The convention was on the order of a love feast affair. The selecting of a chairman and other officials met practically no opposition. The delegates to the State Congressional and Judicial Convention were selected. It is freely predicted that the time is ripe for the republicans to put out a full ticket, beginning with the county officials. Prominent men are discussing the advisability of this step and it is thought that the moguls in the party will adopt such a course. The county failed, however, to go on record as endorsing any particular republican candidate. The fact that a large Negro delegation was present and a goodly number of Negroes were selected as delegates is considered as oil on the troubled waters. It was not noticeable, however, that any stringencies in action or treatment were undergone by the Negro delegates at the convention, as all seemed to be bent upon whatever was best for the interest of the party. It is said that no special instructions were given the delegates who represent the county in the different conventions. RULES FOR SHIPPING SHEEP Live Stock Inspector Advising Raisers as to Scabies.

To sheep raisers making inquiries, Col. J. H. McDowell, Live Stock Inspector, is sending a letter as follows: "In reply to your favor of recent date, beg to say sheep that have scabies that have been dipped once in an approved dip under the supervision of a State Live Stock Inspector, may be shipped or driven to any point within the State of Tennessee for immediate slaughter within ten days on permit issued by the Inspector of the State, or by County inspector. "Sheep exposed to the contagion of scabies may be shipped or driven to points within the State of Tennessee for immediate slaughter with dipping. "All sheep in a flock or shipment in which the disease is present shall be disassessed as diseased sheep. None of them shall be moved except as provided for in the foregoing regulations." The above is a copy of the law. "Sheep that have no disease can be driven or shipped for any purpose within the State without permit." --- MANUFACTURERS OF Surgical Instruments, SUPPORTERS AND TRUSSES.

The seas would abandon their ancient beds and rush toward the new equator, drowning in one universal deluge the greater part of the human race. . . . We see then in effect why the ocean has receded from the high lands upon which we find incontestable marks of its sojourn; we see how the animals and plants of the South have been able exist in the climate of the North where their remains and imprints have been discovered. The famous French mathematician, Lalande, showed that if a comet as heavy as the earth—in other words, an impossibly heavy comet as we know nowadays—were to come within six times the distance of the moon it would exert such a powerful attraction upon the waters of the globe as to pull up a tidal wave 13,000 feet above the ordinary sea-level and inundate the continents. Every European mountain would be submerged, except Mount Blanco, and only the inhabitants of the Rockies, the Andes and the Himalayas would escape death. Before his theory could be discussed before the Academy of Sciences its purport leaked out and created the panic of 1773. Even a reassuring explanation of his, published in the Gazette de France, could not immediately allay the popular fears. 8 MANUFACTURERS OF Surgical Instruments, SUPPORTERS AND TRUSSES. HALLEY'S COMET. (Continued from Page 1.) the basis of these observations the astronomer plots a curve which is the exact path followed by the comet in traveling toward and from the sun. He even indicates the exact hour and minute when the comet will reach any given point in its orbit. In a sense he has his comet as much beneath his thumb as a train dispatcher his locomotives and cars. Halley completely dispelled the dreadful divinity with which comets once were judged. He also revealed a source of danger of which even medieval superstition had never dreamed. By plotting the orbit of a chariot of fire which had inspired no little dismay, he found that the earth's orbit had been approached within four thousand miles, half the diameter of the earth. Suppose the earth had been struck by that fiery wanderer? No one had over thought of the possibility. Cool-headed Halley began to do some mathematical wondering and decided that, if a comet's mass were comparable with that of the earth, our year would have been changed in length because the earth's orbit would have been altered. He also wondered what would happen to the earth, and concluded: "If so large a body with so rapid a motion were to strike the earth—a thing by no means impossible—the shock might reduce this beautiful world to its original chaos." He even thought it probably that the earth had actually been struct by a comet at some remote period, struck obliquely, moreover, so that the axis of rotation had been changed. Thus he was led to infer that possibly the North Pole had once been at a point near Hudson's Bay and that the rigor of North America's climate might thus be accounted for. Lord Kelvin and Sir George Darwin in our day have completely upset his vew. IF THE EARTH WERE STRUCK BY A COM- FT'S CORE. The seed which was thus sown by Halley has borne fruit. Newspapers have dwelt fearfully on the destruction of "this beautiful world," and both Jules Verne and H. G. Wells have made the collision of the earth and a comet the subject of thrilling tails. In Halley's own time learned men were brooding over the ultimate destruction of the earth by collision. Doctor Whiston, who succeeded Newton at Cambridge in the Lucasian chair of mathematics, was sure that a comet caused the Deluge, and went so far to prophesy that a comet, as it passed on its outward course from the sun, would ultimately bring about a "general conflagration" and thus envelope the earth in flames. Laplace, whose mathematical attainments were surpassed only by those of Newton, applied his brilliant mind, a century after Halley, to the possibility of a collision, and arrived at this conculsion, even gloomier than Halley's: THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1910. Since Lalande's day there has been more than one comet scare. One of these startled Europe in 1832. On October 29 of that year Biela's comet crossed the earth's orbit. The announcement was received with stupefaction. It was only when Arago soothingly pointed out that the earth would not reach the exact point where the comet had intersected the earth's orbit until November 30, at which time the comet would be 50,000,000 miles away, that the popular excitement subsided. A similar alarm seized the world in 1857. Some prophet declared that on June 13 the world would collide with a certain periodic comet having a period of revolution of three centuries. It is related that the churches and confessionals were crowded for days. Still another prediction, made in 1872 by Plantamour, the distinguished director of the Geneva Observatory, set Europe in a ferment. His calculations were based on errors, which were pointed out by others, and the public mind was quieted. Although more than two centuries have passed since Halley was in his prime, the possibility of a collision with some vagabond star still fascinates the astronomer. According to Babinet, a chance encounter is likely to occur once in about 15,000,000 years. Arago stated that out of 281,000,000 chances there was just one that the earth would collide with a comet. A blind man bent upon duck-shooting is apparently more likely to hit his mark than the earth to ram a comet. There is, however, this difference between the blind man and earth: A sightless marksman has only a limited space and a limited lifetime in which to indulge in duck-shooting; the earth and comets, on the other hand, are wheeling around the sun in infinite time and infinite space. Astronomically, one chance in 281,000,000 is far better than the gambler's chance of breaking the bank at Monte Carlo. An eon is no longer than a century in the career of a world, a year but a fleeting second. Arago's fifteen million years are astronomically only a few ticks of the great clock of eternity. That a collision is bound to occur is, therefore, no inconceivably remote possibility. The latest estimate, made in 1909 by Professor William H. Piskering, of Harvard University, would seem to prove that the core of one comet in about 100,000,000 will hit the earth squarely. Such a square collision, in his opinion, is likely to occur once in about 400,000,000 years. An encounter with some part of a comet's head will happen once in 4,000,000 years. Since comets' orbits are more thickly distributed near the ecliptic than elsewhere in the celestial sphere the collisions will occur, according to Pickering, rather more frequently than this, but hardily as often as once in 2,000,000 years. Because Pickering's figures differ from those of Arago and Babinet it must not be inferred that his predecessors are wrong and that he is right in his calculations. The problem is too simple for that. Pickering, Arago and Babinet differ partly because they have assumed different average sizes for their comets and partly because their definition of visible comets are not in accord. That the possibility is very real we shall all have an opportunity of judging on May 18, 1910. On that date the earth will be plunged in the tail of Halley's comet, and the head will be less than than 15,000,000 miles away—a mere hand's breath in the vastness of the universe. What will happen? Nothing beyond a possible auroral glare and a shower of meteors. Twice in the last century has the earth been thus whisked by a comet's tail—in 1819 and 1861. On neither occasion was any one the wiser until long after, when the mathematicians announced the fact. From this it may well be inferred that the texture of a comet's tail is diaphanously thin. In truth, although a comet's tail may exceed a hundred million miles in length, the amount of matter which it contains is amazingly small. The actual stuff composing the tail of Halley's comet could probably be packed in an ordinary room, so wonderfully rare is that ghostly sheaf. The thinest haze on the horizon is a stone wall in comparison with the fairy veil of Halley's comet. STRONG PLEA. (Continued from Page 1.) ures of men because they were unmindful of their limitations, the entire time limited for this address would be consumed and still we would not have made an introduction to the subject. Cast your eyes about you and there are glaring failures in all the walks of life. In the industrial, commercial, professional, and ecclesiastical world. All because round blocks have been attempted to be placed in square holes and square blocks in round holes. I mean to say that misfits, often the result of the lack of self-knowledge, is the cause of nine-tenths of the failures in life. Self-respect The second side of the triangle is Self-respect. It was John Milton who said, "If the love of God, as a fire sent from heaven to be forever kept alive upon the altars of our hearts, be the first principle of all godly and virtuous actions in men, this pious and just honoring of ourselves is the second and may be thought as the racial moisture and fountain head whence every laudable and worthy enterprise issues forth." He is doomed already who does not believe in himself. This second essential of life is based upon the first, self-knowledge. The individual knowing himself must be of such that in his deepest as to command respect of himself in the darkest hour of night. Basis of Patriotism. This idea of self-respect is the basis of all true patriotism. It is the basal rock upon which is built the national and international glory. This self-respect is what is commonly known as race pride—as self-esteem. indeed the individual would be powerless with knowledge of himself unless he could thereafter respect himself. It has been the cause of many of the world's wars, for when a nation's honor has been insulted and the flag has been traduced, then the nation's pride demands a vindication. Self-respect, therefore, purely and simply is one of the essentials of life, without which the individual can never hope for any material success. It also involves the spirit of contentment in the sphere wherein God has placed him, so that there is no constant chafing and worrying over natural limitations. Though he may be called to serve, it is the individual's soul-pride in his hardened hands, in his overalls; it is a sort of deep satisfactory feeling based upon the philosophy that life has various phases. The individual who does not respect himself will be found in the dregs of society and without the respect or fellowship of others. There must be respect of one's self before any one else can respect him. It is true that self-respect carried too far may lead to pomposity, but without the proper appreciation of one's strength and ability and a competent respect there for, he will fall where success is promising and refuse to enter the door of opportunity on the account of difference. Lack of Self-respect Weakens. Lack of self-respect saps strength, devitalizes, unarms the individual when opposition comes and makes a coward in the face of the weakest foe. Self-respect is defiant to degrading influences, frowns upon bribes, despises truckling and cringing and subservience. Though clothed in earth's cheapest fabric and red from the spoon of the poorest of the poor, a man who believes in himself and knows himself to have been digged from God's great quarry of humanity and hence knows his sky cannot be capped but that there is appointed unto him a future that is as cheerful and bright as the sun, will not sell himself for mountains of gold, or for honors from the greatest of the world's governments. A man wrapped in the garment of self-respect needs not the shade of night to hide his deeds, nor is he concerned as to whether or not he receives the applaud of the populace. A. Bulwark Against Sin. Self-respect is the impregnable bulwark against the invasion of sin, the lack of which opens the floodgate for the invasion of the enemy. A quotation from Jhon Milton again is in point: he that holds himself in reverence and has due esteem, both for the dignity of God's image upon him, and for the price of his redemption, which he thinks is visibly marked upon his forehead, accounts himself a fit person to do the noblest and Godliest acts. Nor can he fear so much the offense and reproach of others as he dreads and would blush at the reflection of his own sovereign and modest eye upon himself, if it should see him doing or imagining that which is sinful, though in the deepest secrecy." Pinoned upon the wing of selfrespect the individual may lift himself above the embarrassment of poverty, beyond the influence of environment, without the reach of heredity. He may scorn the hisses and opposition of his enemies and so rise until he shall command their respect.

ADMISSION, Fill the individual with self-respect and you bring him from his hovel, lift his horizon and strengthen his arm and he goes forth reading in nature a call to the highest and noblest life The third side of the triangle of life is Self-control. We have an inheritance from the wisest to the wise recorded in the Proverbs this remarkable statement: "He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty and he that ruleth himself is better than he who taketh a city." If it be said that self-knowledge has to do with the intellect and self-respect with the sensibilities, beyond a doubt, self control brings us into the kingdom of the will which is to execute what the judgment, influenced by self-knowledge and self-respect demands. The government of the people, for the people, and by the people is in the final analysis, the government of the individual by himself. You are thus brought into the kingdom where the individual is sovereign and to himself alone is responsible for his actions. Perhaps you will say that in a democratic government is it the organization of the majority rather than the individual that rules but the majority is simply a collection of individuals agreeing on certain lines and thus living in unison. Two Fundamental Questions. Two fundamental questions arise concerning success in life: What will the individual be? and What will he do? Dr. Charles H. Payne said, "Nine-tenths of the factor of the problem are in himself." That is to say, while one-tenth of the various forces that go to make life are found without, in environments, in heredity, in association, in opportunity, in friends, in books, nine-tenths of the factors that go to make the man are found within himself; his own knowledge of himself, the respect of himself, and the control of himself. What will he be? What will he do? The individual must answer for himself. He will make himself a saint or a devil. Given wealth, opportunities, school advantages and an open door for service, without the hearty cooperation of the individual, life is a failure. And notwithstanding all these helps and more, the individual may evade the influences thus afforded and beat into powder the ideal of the father for the son. But with out friends and wealth, conducive environments, a glorious heritage and ```markdown ``` Self-Control , Ohio, Mrs. Rufus Cage, Mrs. S.

A Concrete Example. There comes to mind at this very moment a man for whom nature had done a great deal. He had a magnificent physique, standing six feet and some inches, and an intellect far above the average, and was a genius upon the platform—thousands hung upon his words with rapture, he swayed many as the winds the waves of the sea; by the strength of his intellect he won his way, by the power of his oratory he was crowned with fame, for the want of self-control he fell, Behold him a shattered wreck in the dust of his sin. Grovelling with the worms of misery, his crown battered, his future darkened, his hope blasted. He moved others, himself he cannot control. Well do I know him, and regretfully do I refer to his degradation, but only for this purpose, to say if there be strength of intellect, if there be warmth of heart, these are dangerous weapons for self-destruction without being harnessed and mastered by self-control. Let us confess to our self-humiliation and self-debasement that men who have been crowned with power to harness wind and air, steam and tide, have furnished us with examples of the lack of self-control. We have magnificent illustrations of the achievements of mind over matter, but better and greater still is the triumph of man over his passions and affections, so that he deliberately and carefully acts according to his best judgment. He has so mastered himself that the mastery is obvious to any person who comes in contact with him. --- 15 CENTS
