Knoxville, Tenn., June 27—The greatest meeting in the history of the State Association of physicists, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists of Tennessee, was held in the auditorium of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Patton street, June 21 and 22, 1910. No more representative body of men ever came together for the purpose of raising the standard of their chosen profession. Nashville and Middle Tennessee sent twenty-three members. Every portion of the State was ably represented.
At ten o'clock Tuesday morning the local chairman opened the session by introducing Dr. J. A. McMillan of Nashville, chairman of the Executive Committee, who in turn introduced Dr. C. O. Hadley the efficient president of the State organization. Short impromptu addresses were made by members and friends of the association, after which Dr. Hadley delivered his annual address, which was listened to with much attention and apparently met the expectations raised by the eloquent introduction by Dr. McMillan.
The afternoon session was given over to the reading of papers by Des. J. I. McGowan, of Knoxville, and W. T. Prater, of Memphis. Dr. J. W. Bright, of Nashville, read a paper on the relation of the physician to the pharmacist. This paper will not be forgotten for some time by the doctors who heard it. One of the most brilliant and interesting addresses of the meeting was delivered by Dr. G. W. Hubbard, dean of Meharry Medical College of Nashville. Tenn. Dr. Hubbard talked at length on the X-Ray and Radium in Medicine and Surgery.
Tuesday night was given over to welcome addresses and responses. This meeting was presided over by Dr. J. L. Watkins, of Knoxville. Dr. I. H. Hampton, of Fayetteville, responded to the welcome address of Mayor Heiskell on behalf of the city Knoxville in a most energetic and eloquent manner. Dr. J. A. Napier, of Nashville, read an interesting paper on "Prevention against restoration." J. H. Holman read an excellent treatist on hook worm dis

ease with several interesting demonstrations.
Wednesday morning a general surgical clinic was held at the Knoxville College hospital. Several interesting cases were operated upon by Drs H. M. Green, of Knoxville, F. A. Stewart and R. F. Boyd, of Nashville. These surgeons were ably assisted by Drs. R. C. Wood, of Knoxville and Dr. G. H. Bandy, of Nashville, who is known throughout the state for the skillful way he handles the inhaler and the cone. Dr. J. A. Lester, of Nashville, conducted a medical clinic at the Mt. Zion Church. Dr. C. V. Roman held a special surgical clinic at the East End Infirmary. Several delicate operations were performed upon the eye, ear, nose and throat. Dr Roman was assisted by Dr. Elliot of Nashville.

ODD FEILLOWS MEET IN ED SESSIONS.
Work of Grand Lodge sidered.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AN DOWMENT BOARD BOTH
Perhaps the most interesting session of the entire meeting commenced at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Dr. C. A. Davis read a paper, on fracture of the maxilla. Dr. S. S. Caruthers, of Nashville, read a well prepared paper on eczema. This paper was the first of its kind ever read before this association. Dr. A. M. Townsend read a splendid paper on pellagra. On Tuesday afternoon, Dr. Townsend exhibited a case of pellagra to a large number of the visiting doctors. After the paper on pellagra, in the best three-minute sneech ever delivered, Dr. Roman introduced Dr. Olin West, a representative of the State Board of Health, who spoke at length on hook-worm disease. Thus ended the most successful and the most beneficial meeting ever held by the State Association.
Officers for the ensuring year were elected, the names having been presented by Dr. William A. Reed, of Nashville, Chairman of the nominating committee. Upon motion of Dr. Caruthers the body voted to hold its next meeting at Chattanooga.
Nothing but words of praise can be heard from the physicians, concerning the hospitality of the good people of Knoxville. They will be long remembered by the doctors of the state.
RETURNS TO HIS HOME IN
TEXAS.
Mr. L. D. Bumbrey, who has for several years served in the capacity of foreman of the composing room of the National Baptist Publishing Board, has resigned that position to enter the railway mail service. Mr. Bumbrey left Wednesday morning at 2:25 over the L. & N. for Houston, Texas, where he will enter upon his new duties. The printing fraternity loses one of its best men in the retirement of this young man. He is a high-class printer, and a gentleman of the first water. He was also an expert Linotype machinist-operator, which the more made him a valuable asset to the Baptist Publishing House. When other publishing houses in the city learned that Mr. Bumbrey had severed his connection with the National Baptist they were very solicitous for his services, but his plans had been made and he did not feel justified in changing them. Mrs. Bumbrey did not leave with her husband, but will follow in a few days.

ODD FEILLOWS MEET IN GALLLED SESSIONS.
Work of Grand Lodge Considered.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND ENDOWMENT BOARD BOTH COME TOGETHER—BOARD MEMBERS RETICENT—GLOBE REPORTER GLEANS SOME FACTS OF INTEREST—NEW PLANS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF ORDER THE KEYNOTE—A HINT IS DROPPED BY THE GRAND MASTER, PROF. WILLIAM H. FORT.
The Executive Board of District Grand Lodge No. 6, Tennessee was in session Monday of this week at the office of Endowment Secretary, W. S. Thompson, looking after matters of special importance to the fraternity in the Volunteer State. At the same time and place members of the Endowment Board assembled to look into and pass on death claims and other matters. Those present were W. H. Fort.
DR. JOSIE E. WELLS.
Dr. Wells has just opened her office down town again. She has closed a successful term as Superintendent of Nurse Training at Mercy Hospital under the Meharry Medical College Dr. Wells wishes her many patrons to know that she is again at her old quarters in the Napier Court, 411 Fourth avenue, North.
Grand Master, Nashville; W. S. Hennum, Deputy Grand Master, Chattanooga; T. P. Turner, Grand Secretary, Pulaski; A. T. Morrell, Grand Treasurer, Columbia; W. S. Thompson, Endowment Secretary, Nashville; J. F. Booker, Endowment Treasurer, Trenton; Dr. C. O. Hunter, Medical Examiner, Columbia.
When found by a Globe reporter, not one of the members of these Boards would talk for publication, but it was gleaned that much important legislation relative to Endowment was enacted. If what is being rumored is true. Odd Fellowship stock will immediately rise on the Fraternal Board and much enthusiasm is engendered.
The Globe man, having appeared on the scene just as the afternoon session closed, found these craftsmen congratulating themselves on the fact that the ladies of the Household of Ruth would soon be permitted to carry policies equal to those carried by the brethren. Upon this matter so much of oratory was displayed that it was easy to see that the state is to be stirred.
Relative to plans, aside from those discussed in the meeting, Grand Master Fort was less reticent and gave the Globe man to understand that he is now working out plans to be presented at the annual meeting of the Board in August, which, if adopted, will mean much toward increasing membership, keeping financial records in local lodges and strengthening the hands of the Endowment Board.
At this juncture he pulled from his pocket papers and documents which he reluctantly admitted were copy pages of a Lodge Financial Book being prepared by him for use in local lodges. From a close examination of these pages, still incomplete, it could easily be seen that it will be one of the best and most complete records ever published.
The coming B. M. C. to be held in Baltimore is being boosted and a large delegation will go from Tennessee to this meeting. Mr. T. P. Turner, D.G. S., chairman of the Transportation Committee, states that great preparations are being made by the citizens of Baltimore for entertaining the host that will be present.
In the hands of such enthusiastic leaders the ranks of Odd Fellowship will soon take on new life.
As a parting hint, Grand Master Fort said: "Wait until I give commission to one hundred deputies, which list is now being carefully prepared, and see how things will go forward. These deputies will be selected from the ranks of those who have 'made good.'
"These commissions are now being printed and as soon as ready will be sent out and instructions given.
"Odd Fellows number about 'six thousand in Tennessee and we must have ten thousand."
The Globe wishes these men success in their labors and will watch with interest their every move as they attempt to develop this great body of stalwart men.

Registration Days Named by Commission.
JULY 12, 13. AND 14 DATES DESIGNATED FOR DAVIDSON COUNTY NEGROES GETTING READY TO VOTE-PAYING POLL TAX AND REGISTERING THEIR SLOGAN NEW GENERATION ENTERING THE FIELD-ABLE TO COPE WITH NEW CONDITIONS-INDEPENDENCY THE ONE AIM OF THE NEW NEGRO IN POLITICS.
The Davidson County Election Commission will hold the supplemental registration for the August election on July 12, 13, and 14. Those who will otherwise be qualified to vote in the August election are eligible to register. The last registration was before the election on the State Fair bond issue on April 21, at the close of which the registration total for the county was the largest ever recorded in the history of the county, the result of the biennial registration, the city primary and election and the county primary. With the new names to go on books in the coming supplemental registration another new mark will probably be set as there has been no intervening moving day, it is safe to say that Davidson County will have more eligible voters when the August election rolls around than it has ever had. In addition to registration certificates poll tax receipts are a requisite to voting.
There is unusual activity among the Negro voters of the State. From every quarter comes information of the deep interest the men are manifesting in the coming election. The spirit of independence is prevalent, it seems safe to predict a larger Negro vote this year than there has been since the Australian system was first introduced in this state. In the days when the party tickets were printed on separate slips of paper of different colors the black man voted freely but when a system was inaugurated that required the men to mark their ballots the men who were unlettered were shut out. They were honest men but had to suffer just the same. But the present day brings a new generation on the scene. Young men fully qualified to exercise the franchise constitute the rank and file of the Negro men of the state and the new interest comes to stay as long as the present conditions obtain.
There is no apparent disposition on the part of the best people of the state to make any ways that will disfranchise any portion of the citizens. The young blood that is looming up in politics are men who think for themselves and who are property owners and tax payers.
They are more interested in owning a home than they are in holding office. They are progressive and in telligent.

BOOKS, THE JOY OF MANY.
During Leisure Hours Thousands of People Find Pleasure in Reading.
Nashville House Keeqing Pace With the Times Invites Public to Call.
When one mentions the name of a good, new book by an author, who has gained a reputation as an entertaining writer of deep thought, the question is asked, "Where can this book be purchased?" "How much will it cost?" You at once desire this new publication. There are also others that you would like to get, but the worry that comes from not knowing where they are on sale, how much they cost, and the expense attached to going after or sending for them, always has a tendency to discourage the prospective reader who would like to have it that very minute, if all the information necessary was then at hand.
Recently the National Baptist Publishing Board decided that its large stock of books be placed at the disposal of the trade. Any book on the market, if the name and author are given, will be supplied to patrons anywhere in the United States at standard cost. In inaugurating this, the National Baptist Publishing Board, through its Secretary, Dr. R. H. Bovd, has made a step forward. For instance, the entire production of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the celebrated poet, has been popular this years as hundreds of volumes have been sold. The same is true of the productions of Mr. Charles W. Chestnut, whose works seem to grow in favor daily; McGirt's poems and books; those by Dr. Booker T. Washington, such as his "Up from Slavery" and "The Negro in Business," and the religious publications, such as The National Baptist Sunday-School Lesson Commentary, price 75 cents, the book that is not equalled as a help for Sunday-school workers and superintendents; Boyd's Pastor's Guide, price 50 cents, which contains a form of service for everything that can be held in a Baptist church, and a book that every pastor ought to have in his pocket continually; "Theological Kernels," by Brown, "The Essense of all Theology," price $1.00; "The Preparation and Delivery of Sermons," by Broadus, price $1.50, all have struck a popular chord. There is also a list of more than seventeen song books, ranging in price from 10 cents to 75 cents, that can be bought by merely sending a letter with the amount in a post-office money order.

HOMEWARD BOUND.
A cablegram dated London, June 25, from Rev. William Beckham, Field Secretary of the National Baptist Convention, in the Western Union Cipher Code, stating that he had started from Liverpool on Saturday of last week for New York. He will come over on the beautiful White Star Liner and is due to reach New York, July 3. Dr. Beckham was abroad representing the Home Mission and Publishing Boards of the National Baptist Convention at the missionary conference that opened in Edinburgh on June 17th. While abroad he made visits on the continent. Rev. Beckham left New York on June 1 in company with other distinguished divines, but is rushing back to America to make some dates in the South, as the state convention season is now on and his services before there various bodies are much in demand.
MR. ELMER SPYGLASS.

He will then come back to America for January, February and March and will immediately return to his adopted land, where his service seems to be indispensable.
Mr. Spyglass is the son of a Baptist preacher of Springfield and is said to have one of the most beautiful tenor voices ever heard on the stage. He sings in Italian, German and Dutch, with more ease than most stars use English.
RECEIVING HONORS ABROAD.

Table cloths were spread on the floor, baskets were uncovered and refreshments in abundance were served. One capacity satisfied; another grew hungry and so till midnight there was dancing and plenty of all that was pleasantand happy. Cream, cake and l amonade were served. The happy crowd were the Misses Katherine and Marion Allen, Goldie and Frances Kealing, Eugenia, Alberta and Evelyn Crosthwait, Mary Stevens, Carrye Napier, Willie Sheye, Agnes Erwin, Olivia Anderson, Amelia Smith and Mariea Coombs, Messrs.

MISSES DILLARD AND JOHNSON
ENTERTAINED.
Misses Mildred Dillard and Lethia Johnson entertained Wednesday with an artistically arranged Dumb Party.
The guests were received and entertained at the home of Mrs. Dillard, from 8 to 10:30, with music and games. At this hour, Mr. Albert Foster, of Theta, surprised the guests with a basket of assorted fruits. The parlor was artistically arranged with ferns and other flowers of the season. Miss Smith assisted Miss Dillard in receiving the guests. Miss Dillard was attired in a beautiful creation of old rose. Miss Smith was clad in a lovely design of black and white. At 10:30 the guests retired to the home of Miss Johnson, where they were received into an up-to-date culinary department to make ready to prepare the dumb menu. At the first stroke of the steepele that tells the midnight hour each guest was quietly seated at the large dining table that had for its centerpiece a large cut-glass bowl of water-lilies. When the steepele had finished its tale of woe every eye seemingly went in quest of that memorable ghost which was to be her future husband. But alas! we saw nothing; for the scenes were too mirthful for us to keep our vows. Among those who enjoyed the hospitality were Misses M. Dillard, M. E. Smith, R. A. Fitzgerald, A. P. Williams, Letha Johnson, Willie Young, S. L. Foster.

DEATH OF MRS. CASSIE GREER.
Mrs. Cassie Greer, the wife of Mr. Chas. Greer, Sr., after an illness of several months, died at her home in Waverly Place, last Sunday, June 19, at 5 p. m. Mrs. Greer was well known and highly respected in this community. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon from the First Baptist Church, Revs. W. S. Ellington, C. H. Clark and Wm. Haynes, oficiating. The Fisk Quartet rendered two touching selections and Mrs. H. A. Cameron sang in a beautiful voice, "My Mother's Prayer." Many beautiful floral designs were sent by loving friends. Mrs. Greer was very prominent in lodge circles, being a member of the Masonic Chapter and Calanthe Court. She was a devoted Christian woman and a faithful member of the church from which her funeral took place. The deceased leaves a husband, two sons, three brothers and many relatives and friends.
OBITUARY.
Cassie Greer was born May 1, 1858. Died June 19, 1910, age 52 years 1 month, 7 days. She professed a hope in Christ in 1882 and was baptized by Rev. J. Bransford. For fifteen months she was confined to her room, but never during her illness did she lose faith in God. She would always assure you that there was nothing between her and her God. and she was only waiting on Him. She was a devoted wife and loving mother. Now where was her Christian influence felt more than in her home, with her husband and children. They looked to her and depended on her for advice in all things. During her long illness her husband was never too tired to do whatever he could to receive her.
Her church was at all times uppermost in her thoughts, and her highest hope was that she might again be able to join the church members in another service. But God, in his infinite wisdom, saw fit to call her home, and she patiently awaited the summons. She never weared of singing praises of her younger son, who, during all these months was ever at her side ministering to her needs. Truly, he has been a good son to a good mother. In this, our dark hour of sorrow, when it seems so hard to say, "Thy will be done." we can only bow in humble submission to him who giveth and taketh, and who doeth all things well.

THE DREAM OF NASHVILLE NE GROES NOW A REALIZATION.
On Tuesday the Negro Theater Airdome threw open its doors for the pleasure-seeking people of Nashville. The name given to the theater is the Fred Douglass Skydome. From the very first performance Tuesday night success seemed to perch on the banner of this new pleasure resort. The performance was greeted by an enthusiastically large audience, numbering between two hundred and fifty and three hundred. The Skydome was not completely seated with chairs because, according to the manager's statement, only a part of those ordered had arrived. However, arrangements were made by which most of the audience was provided with comfortable chairs or seats. The seating capacity of the theater is only four hundred and fifty. The manager of this theater is A.N. Johnson, Jr., the son of Mr. Johnson the undertaker, and the operator of the machine for the moving picture show is Mr. Frank Stump, Jr. Regular entertainments and splendid programs have been going on all week. Each performance has been greeted with appreciative audiences. The announcement is further made by the management of the Douglass Skydome that their performances will not be confined to moving pictures, but there is to be special music each night, and as fast as possible amateurs and local talent, who show signs of artistic ability, will be given opportunity to come before the public and their apearance will not be gratis. They will be compensated, says the manager, as their ability warrants. Cedar streets between Fourth and Fifth avenues will no doubt be the most popular thoroughfare in Nashville for the remainder of the season.
MRS. BRIGHT VISITS MEMPHIS
Mrs. A. J. Bright, of 18 North Hill street, spent last week in Memphis, attending Grand Chapter meeting of the O. E. S. Mrs. Bright was a delegate from Golden Star Chapter, of East Nashville. While there she was royally entertained by the Coterie Migratory Club, the oldest and most select social club of Memphis, at the beautiful home of Mrs. F. F. White. She was also honored with a musical at the residence of Miss Nettle Thomas. Miss Thomas rendered several beautiful solos, accompanied by Mr. Eugene Lewis, organist of the Episcopal Church, also bookkeeper of the Colored Fraternal Bank. She was also favored with a drive around the city by Mrs. N. E. Whiteen, president of the State Federation.

Another courtesy was extended by Mrs. Bessie Simon, who carried Mrs. Bright to visit the noted Howe Institute and other schools.
LOST RELATIVES.
I am enquiring of my brother Wace and sisters, Minnerva and Juda Braxton, who were sold from Hampton, Va., by Mr. Karry S. Jones a great many years before the Civil War. I was told that one man bought them all. Our father and mother were Robert and Malvina Braxton. I am their sister Lucy. Each has a daughter named after our mother, aunt Malvina and Mary.

day was postponed until last Sunday. A fire on Saturday about 11:30 o'clock destroyed the homes of Messrs. Nelson Brown and William Chavous. The fire was of unknown origin. Had it not been for the heroic efforts on the part of the men many other homes would have been destroyed. Miss C. A. Moore, of Nashville, and a member of the Institute easily distinguished herself as the heroine of the occasion. While about one hundred women and children were screaming and wringing their hands in distress, Miss Moore led a group of men in the home of Mr. Chavous and through her efforts most of the furniture was saved. Mr. Brown carried a small insurance but Mr. Chavous suffered a complete loss.

FRIDAY, JULY 1. 1910.
NOT DEMOCRATS
There is an opinion among many Negroes that if they vote in the election to be held next August for the candidates nominated in the regular democratic primary they will themselves be regular Democrats. This question is worrying a great number of Negro voters. Not that they do not believe the old line candidates to be good men, and allied with the faction in the best attitude to serve the State, but on account of the custom that has prevailed among Negroes for many years that they are duty bound to be Republicans. We should like to set at rest that feeling in regard to the election of these judges.
In the first place, a Negro cannot be a Democrat in Tennessee. It has always been the rule of that party to specifically state that a Democrat can only be white men of voting age, etc. Second, all Democrats voted in the primary, and all the Negro voters in the state know they did not vote, and would not have been permitted to do so had they presented themselves. So by voting in the August election Negroes cannot do so as Democrats but only as citizens.
We have called attention to the fact on other occasions that all of the candidates in the August election are Democrats. They are known as the regulars and the independents. We also have cited the fact that the independents are those who are opposed to the present administration, and that the regulars are those candidates who have stood by the administration, and who desire to see the state of Tennessee continue its march of progress. Negroes who vote for the old line candidates in August will no more be Democrats than the white Republicans will be who vote for the independents. In fact, those who support the independents do so under a binding pledge that they will vote as they are ordered to in the November election.
Human slavery is the most damnable curse every perpetrated in the world. It makes no difference in what form it may exist, it is slavery just the same. We believe it is the intention of the Negro voters in Tennessee to be free men. We believe they desire to act according to the dictates of their conscience, and such being the case we want to apprise them of the true conditions that they may make no mistake.
---
THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1910
The election in August will not be an election between parties, but rather an election in a party. There has arisen a dispute, and the calm men who are disinterested in the rumpus are going to help settle it for the best interest of the State. The Negroes are a part of those not connected with the factional fight in any way and are in a position to calmly decide which are most discreet. They are not Democrats now and will not be after the election. They have made no obligations and are therefore free to act as they think best.
DEATHS OF CHILDREN
The annual death-rate among Negroes from consumption is indeed appalling. In some communities as many as seven Negroes to one white person die of this dread disease. Statistics show that consumption reaps its largest harvest during the winter and spring months. In summer and early fall the deaths are not so many. But while the great white plague is not so active during the summer let us call your attention to the large number of deaths among Negro children during the same period. Right here in Nashville not less than forty babies below three years of age have died in the past ten or twelve days. No doubt the majority of these were due to what is commonly known as "Summer Complaint." There is a general belief that teething is the prime cause of all the ailments to which babies are heirs, but we are reliably informed that this is a sad mistake. "Dentition," says a prominent physician, "is a physiological process and has nothing to do with these diarrheas to which young children are so liable. "Some of the factors that will bring about this condition are increased temperature and improper diet. Uncleanliness and vile hygienic surroundings also have an important bearing upon the production of the disease. Carelessness in feeding has added many to the already too large death list of infants. An unclean mouth, no doubt, is the starting point of many a summer diarrhea in babies. Impure milk is another source of infection that is very common."
In our city there is no excuse for any person to use impure milk. Our city health department is ready and willing to test every sample of milk carried to the city laboratory free of all cost, and it is the duty of every citizen to send samples of milk to these health officers if there is the least suspicion of impurity. If parents will strive to keep things cleaner; pay more attention to surroundings in general; screen houses to protect the babies from files; keep the bottles out of which the babies are fed perfectly clean, and report to health officers any dairyman who attempts to murder their babies by selling them impure milk; if these things should be kept in mind and observed many precious lives will be saved and many little ones will remain to brighten the homes and cheer the hearts of fond parents
A NOBLE EFFORT.
The effort of the Negro doctors of the city to give medical and professional treatment to those who need such, and who are not able to pay for the same, is a move for which all the people are greatly indebted to them. It is a sign of true manhood on their part, and is a step that will go a long way toward cementing and strengthening the race.
The clinics will be held in the Meharry Medical College, the facilities of which will enable the physicians to render greater service to the people as a whole than could be rendered elsewhere.
It is pitiable to see some of our Negro men trying to do business. They are consciencious, but just don't know. Right here is where the need for a live business league comes in. We hope to see such an organization in Nashville in the near future, or the resurrection of one or both of those we have already.
The Negroes of this city are doubtless content to sniff dust and ashes
during the hot summer, else they would see to it that the park commission distributes the play-grounds so the Negro children could have access to their portion of them.

False Hair of Fashion Comes From the Chinese Dead.
(Elizabeth Shepley Sargeant in the July McClure.)
A new and unfamiliar trade which springs from the great and increasing demand by women for false hair, has invaded the tenements of the Jewish East Side, New York, in the last two years. This is the manufacture of human hair out of coarse black Chinese hair imported from the East.
The hair, according to one of the United States consular reports from Hong-Kong, is brought to Hong-Kong from the interior. It is either sold through Hong-Kong export houses to New York dealers, or bought by purchasing agents from New York. These large firms in New York sell the Chinese hair at two dollars a pound to small tenement manufacturers—who, in turn, after its transformation into soft yellow or brown switches, resell to the large firms for six or eight dollars a pound. This hair is then distributed to the retail trade—hairdressers, department stores, etc. An ordinary switch, weighing three ounces sells for from seven to twelve dollars at retail.
The hair is supposed to be taken from the heads of the dead; much of it retains its roots and seems to have been pulled out, not cut off. Living Chinamen are, of course, particularly averse to parting with their pigtails. Stories are current of people who have caught leprosy or bad skin diseases from the infected switches. In one authenticated case of leprosy in Brooklyn, the doctor asserts that the disease was caught from false hair. Although it is very difficult to disinfect hair adequately, bacteriological experts say that it is unlikely that leprosy is being brought from China in this way. There is a fair chance, however, that plague germs may be so transmitted since in China the many bodies of the plague victims of all classes are thrown into the street and there rified by the dregs of the population.
Where "Willow" Plumes Are Made.
(Elizabeth Shepley Sargeant in the
(July McClure's)
The tying of the flues of "willow" plumes—the sweeping artificial ostrich feathers of the present fashion—has become during the last two years a very extensive industry in New York tenements. The factories where these feathers are made are chiefly located in the Italian districts of the upper East Side. On some streets the ground floor and first floor of almost every house is occupied by small factories and workshops and during the season—from March to June, and from September to December—the window of every factory has a sign in Italian: "Women wanted to work in willow." Most of the curling and dyeing of the feathers is done in the factories; but seventy per cent. of the "willowing"—the most lengthy and monotonous part of the trade—is done in the tenements.
"Willowing" consists in tying to every "flue" or filmy strand of a food ostrich feather two strands stripped from inferior ostrich feathers. The work is paid for by the inch; five or six cents an inch in factories, and four or fifive cents an inch in the homes for black plumes and a cent less for white. The inch is measured on the stem or the original feather, and therefore involves the tying of innumerable delicate knots for each inch of finished work. A tenement worker cannot make an eighteen-inch feather in less than one and a half or two days. She is paid seventy-two or ninety cents for this work. The feather sells at retail anywhere from eight and a half to twenty-five dollars.
What's in McClure's.
Roosevelt, the most talked of private citizen, and the German Emperor, the most talked of sover-
eign, are the subjects of articles in the July McClure's. Both papers are by Sidney Brooks, a well known English political writer, and both so good that the magazine is induced to break its rule of not printing two articles by the same author in one number. Mr. Brooks tells "What Europe thinks of Roosevelt," and his paper, "The Real Kaiser," is said by those who should know to be the best article ever written about that picturesque ruler. Elizabeth Shepley Sargeant writes of the shocking conditions under which false hair, "willow" plumes, artificial flowers and other things sold in the great shops are manufactured in New York tenements. John Burroughs answers the exponents of the "new psychology" who declare that animal behavior is not governed by reason or instinct, and Senator Platt gives his side of the Garfield-Conkling feud. Jack London contributes "The Unparalleled Invasion" to an exceptionally strong fiffion number. Other stories are "From One Generation to another" by Arnold Bennett, "The Translation of Giovanna" by Amanda Matthews; "The Aluminum Dagger" by Austin Freeman; "The Poet Who Saved His Youth" by Helen S. Thomas and "Corazon" by George Patullo.

COMMUNICATION
Well-Timed Visits.
As the vacation season is upon us, a passing thought as to the actual experiences of some people, whose reputation for hospitality is well known, is not amiss. Some of us presume upon the friendship of a causal acquaintance and will send a letter at the most inconvenient season announcing our arrival upon such and such a time, without having had an invitation.
There is a prevailing impression that edibles in the country do not cost anything, that there is always a plenty of everything around; but often this same plentiful supply is the only way of obtaining money for the maintenance of the household. I have known "city cousins" to impose upon the good nature of their country relatives by consuming large quantities of the purest cream, and by asking for many quarts of berries to can, without one thought of the trouble of gathering them in the heat, or even a suggestion of pay. This is not written to sound a note of inhospitality, but as a suggestion that we see to it that our visits are well-timed, and that we have it understood with the people whose guests we are, to be, just how long we are to stay, and during the visit try to conform with the regular habits of the household, so that we may not excite unfavorable criticisms and be denied a second invitation to visit at the same place.
Y. M. L. CLUB.
The Y. M. L. Club met at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. and celebrated its closing meeting. All the officers made interesting reports. Quite a number of visitors was present, among whom was Mr. Williams who represents the Y. M. C. A. He made a very interesting talk. Elder Preston Taylor was also present and gave words of encouragement. Messrs. Moore and Hundington, the latter from Liberia, Africa were present.
The club will give its closing banquet at the home of Mrs. Thomas Gleaves on Friday, July 1, after which it will only meet in called session by the president.

FAIR MEETING POSTPONED.
Owing to the inability of the directors to get together, there was no meeting of the Tennessee State Fair Association on Tuesday night, as was expected. But, the indications are, that at an early date the promoters of the fair will get together and arrange for the coming fall meeting. There is said to be several encouraging movements in connection with the fair that mean a great deal to Nashville, and the state at large.

which was a masterpiece of eloquence and sound reasoning. All the other speakers were white citizens, including some of the leading men of the town.

Quite a neat sum was raised in the public collection. The consensus of opinion on the part of the whites who spoke, was that Turner Normal must remain in Shelbyville, and that the people of this community would rally to its support. The following other gentlemen made strong talks: Rev. J. B. Erwin, pastor of the M. E. Church South; Mr. W. H. Crowle, Attorney; Mr. H. B. Cowan, Mr. J. H. Boyd, and Mr. J. E. Williams.

All of them expressed the highest compliments of Dr. Jones' work here, and entertained a hope that he might be retained at the head of the institution indefinitely till he might accomplish greater things for the school.
Bishop Evans Tyree lectured Monday night at the college. It is useless to say that he interested his audience. The Bishop is popular with all classes. He was the guest of Dr. Jones at the college during his stay. A great times is expected here on the 18th of July, when the A. M.

SUMMER CLINIC AT MEHARRY MEDICAL COLLEGE
Through the agency of the Rock City Medical Academy, full equipped clinics will be held daily except Sunday from 2 to 3 o'clock p. m. at the Dental and Pharmaceutical Building on Meharry campus. This long-felt want will begin next Monday, July 4, and every day thereafter any one suffering wit hany malady whatever may come to the free clinic and be treated. This free clinic is held under the auspices of Meharry Medical college, through the agency of the members of the Rock City Academy of Medicine and Surgery. This Academy is composed of the physician, dentists and pharmacists of this city, most of whom are members of the Meharry Faculty. These gentlemen tender this experience and skill to the indigent, afflicted and helpless of this city who are in need of professional service. The dental parlers will be open on Wednesday afternoon, from 3 to 4, and persons whose financial conditions will not permit them to give the mouth and teeth the prompt and proper care are invited to call and receive the best attention. All the lilies to which the human system is heir will be carefully and successfully treated. Attention will be given to all classes of cases in medicine, dentistry and surgery.
If you do not need this service gratis, speak to your friends of the help they may receive just for the asking. This service is not tendered to those who are able to secure such service for themselves but the profession places itself on record to see that no worthy person within the limits of the city need want.

BARACA CLASS ENTERTAINMENT.
On Monday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carter, of Pike street, South Nashville, Baraca Class No. 11, of Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday-School, was host at a beautiful house entertainment. Notwithstanding the rainstorm in the early part of the evening and the threatening and inclement weather, the loyal Sunday-school workers were there to receive the many attentions of this, the largest class of men in the State of Tennessee. Deacon James Martin, teacher of the Baraca Class in addressing those present proceeded to outline the future work of the class. One of the new plans is the organization of a Baraca Gloe Club. Quite a number of t the members of the Philathea Class No. 16 graced the entertainment with their appearance.
The program was a treat. The discussion. "Why Should Men Attend Sunday-School." proved a sullied topic and was discussed by Revs. H. A. Boyd, J. B. Ridlev, Messrs. Martin, Carter, Bonds, William and Mrs. Brown. Mr. Bert Stanley read a paper on the same subject. Members of the Philathea and Baracca classes joined in singing "Princess Awake." Miss Nellie E. King, rendered a solo. "Glowworm." Tempting refreshments were afterwards served in the dining-room, where all joined in cutting a cake for a silver piece of money it contained.
MRS. ENSLEY'S DEATH
Mrs. Rachal Ensley, wife of Mr. Carroll Ensley, 900 Seventeenth avenue, North, died at her home Sunday night, June 26, after an illness of more than fifteen years.
Mrs. Ensley was one of those quiet home-loving and patient Christian women who served her day and generation well. She was a near relative of Miss L. L. McKeever, of the city schools, who patiently and devotedly cared for her during the trying years of her solitary confinement.
Funeral services were conducted from the First Baptist Church, Eighth avenue, North, by the pastor, Rev. W. S. Ellington, assisted by Drs. C. H. Clark and Preston Taylor, after which she was laid to rest in beautiful Greenwood, there to await the judgment day.
A large number of floral tributes were tenderly laid on the grave by loving friends.
The following obituary, prepared by a friend was read by the pastor:
In Loving Remembrance of Mrs. Rachal Ensley.
Mrs. Racha Ensley, daughter of Moses and Mary Jane Thrashley was born in Woodford County. Kentucky, during one of those years immediately preceding the strife that gave a race freedom in payment for the tears of anguish and the prayers of faith.
She gave her hand in marriage to Mr. Carroll Ensley, December 15, 1868, since which time they have journeyed faithfully and patiently together down life's highway, to be separated only after the history of a generation had been written and sealed. Their only child was early called to its rest; but the innate love for children showed itself in the smiles and cheerful words so freely and sweetly given, which to-day are pleasant memories to those who grew up in her immediate neighborhood.
She surrendered to Christ in the pioneer days of old Spruce Street Church, under the pastorate of the sainted father, Rev. N. G. Merry, since which time she has lived a sincere, consistent and practical Christian life. Her many charities were quietly, yet systematically, dispensed, the work of assisting the poor appealing to her to such an extent that many on this and the other side are able to boast of her Dorcas-like kindnesses. This work, so dear to her, was laid aside only after the coming on of the illness that lasted through fifteen years of most intense suffering and finally caused her taking away. Like Job, she bore her affliction with fortitude and patience, never yielding to complaint, but at all times presenting the bright side to friends, becoming thereby a silent witness of what faith does for its defenders.
Her passing out was like the life she lived, quiet and peaceable, passing into a deep sleep Saturday night from which there was no earthly awakening, but a God-chosen way of taking His own into the mansion of rest. Sunday night, surrounded by sorrowing relatives and friends, she passed to her reward.
She leaves a husband, two sisters, one brother, and other relatives to mourn their loss, which can best be expressed in the language of the poet:
"Sister, thou wast mild and lovely, Gentile as the summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening, As it floats among the trees."
CITY FEDERATION MEETS.
The City Federation of Clubs held its regular meeting Monday, June 27, at St. John Church. A large number was present and all seemed to have taken on new life since the meeting of the State Federation. "On to Louisville" is the slogan of the City Federation. It is hoped that all who possibly can will attend the national meeting at Louisville, July 11-15. We hope to secure a special coach for this trip. We expect delegations from Alabama and Memphis and other places to join us here. Mrs. A. J. Bright, vice-president of City Federation, was elected a delegate to represent that body at the National Federation. A partial list of the delegates from Nashville is as follows: State Federation, Mesdames G. L. Jackson and J. C. Napier; City Federation, Mrs. A. J. Bright; Nonpariel, Mrs. A. L. Pinkston; Housekeepers, Mesdames Lewis and Saunders; Sentiment Moulding, Mrs. S. E. Griggs; Fleur-de-Lis, Mrs. S. P. Harris.
The City Federation will meet regularly on the second and fourth Fridays during the summer months at 3 o'clock.
There will be a call meeting of the Federation Tuesday, July 5, at 3 o'clock at St. John Church. All members are earnestly requested to be present, as this will probably be the last meeting before going to Louisville.
SKETCH OF JOHN M. TURPIN BY HIS CLASSMATE. REV. GEO. W. MOORE. D. D.
John Morton Turpin, B. A., M. D., was born in Richmond, Va., Jan. 2, 1858, and died at Nashville, Tenn., June 23, 1910, 2 a.m. He came to Columbia, Tenn., at an early age where he resided until 1872. When fourteen years of age he came to Nashville and began his education at Fisk University, graduating with the college class of 1881. He was a great reader and availed himself of every opportunity during the formative years of his life at Columbia to store his mind with useful knowledge.
Mrs. Mary Ann Turpin, who later became Mrs. Titcomb, a leading citizens of Columbia, Tenn., took great interest in young Turpin and gave him every opportunity to rise and fit himself for a useful career. His early life was largely influenced by her wise and kindly direction. She became interested in his welfare as a small boy and her friendly interest continued until her death. His mother, Mrs. Sarah Turpin, watched over his young life and she did much to aid him in his education and to encourage him in his life work. His mother's influence and prayers were a great comfort and inspiration to him. She lived to see him graduate from college and take up his work as an educator.
After completing his studies at Fisk University, he taught school the first year at Columba, Tenn., and the following year at Bowling Green, Ky. He returned from Bowling Green to Nashville and began his work in the public schools. From this date until the time of his death he had served twenty-five years. During this time he taught in the various grades of the public schools and for several years taught science in the Meigs High School.
He graduated from the Meharry Medical College in 1890, but he was so devoted to his work as an educator that he did not actively engage in the practice of medicine. He was an educator and the whole of his active life of nearly thirty years was spent in the school room.
He was married to Mary Mahan, June 26. 1884. Seven children, four sons and three daughters were the
fruit of this marriage. Two of the children have died. Elmier, the first child, died when she was fifteen months of age and their third son, Thomas, died July 7, 1909, at the age of eighteen years. He was a promising youth and his death was a great affliction to the family and weighted heavily upon the father. Prof. Turpin was sick two weeks. He was quite unwell June 9th at the Tabernacle during the commencement exercises of the Pearl High School, but he was so anxious to witness the graduation of his daughter, Mary Lucile, that he remained until the close of the exercise. He also witnessed the graduation of his daughter Ethel from the college department of Fisk University, June 8th.
He became a Christian in early childhood and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, of Columbia, Teen. He was a member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, this city, at the time of his death.
He leaves a widow and five children and a wide circle of friends to mourn his death. He was a man of sterling integrity, quiet and unassuming in his disposition and faithful in the discharge of every duty. He was temperate in his habits, refusing to take liquor even as a medicine. He was a man of upright Christian character, honest, truthful and chaste in all of his relations in life. In his home-going the community has lost one of its most worthy citizens. He was a good man, a faithful teacher, a loving father to his children and a devoted husband.
His college classmates pay this tribute to him:
"Thus has passed from earth to heaven our brother and friend and fellow worker to join with the spirits made perfect in the eternal adoration of the living God. The class of 1881 has lost two of its honored and beloved members, Albert M. Thomas and John Morton Turpin. The surviving members, Minnie Scott-Crosthwait, David N. Crosthwait, Benjamin F. Ousley, William H. Hodgkins and Geo W. Moore, unite in expressing their sense of loss in the departure of their friend and classmate and in extending to his widow and children their heart-felt sympathies and prayers that the God of all comfort may sustain them in their hour of trial. 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them.'"
EDUCATIONAL DAY AT ST. JAMES
CHAPEL A. M. F. CHURCH
CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH.
Sunday was known at St. James A. M. E. Church as Educational Day. Rev. Wm. Goins, D. D., pastor of Paynes Chapel A. M. E. Church preached at 3 p. m. The speaker in his introductory remarks spoke in glowing terms of the educational progress of the schools fostered by the African Methodist Church, and the responsibility resting upon the members. Rev. Goins showed in a plain, intelligent common sense way why the race should be educated and why they should give willingly and largely to the cause of education as a church and race. The sermon was an able one.
At 8 p. m. Rev. Preston Taylor, of the Christian Church preached for us. Subject, "The Fragments." Text, "Gather up the fragments that nothing be lost." (John 6:12)
RALLY AT MOUNT ZION.

DEATH OF DR G W
DEATH OF DR. G. W. SINGLETON.
Dr. J. B. Singleton, accompanied by his son, J. B., Jr., left the city Tuesday night for Beaufort, S. C., where he was called by the serious illness of his brother. Dr. Geo. W. Singleton, who died before he reached there.
Dr. G. W. Singleton is well known in this city, having made his home with his brother while pursuing his professional course at Meharry Medical College, graduating with the class of 1905, and has since that time built up an excellent practice in Beaufort. His success in so short a time has been marvelous, he being at the time of his death, proprietor of the only Negro drug store in his home city, and owner of some valuable real estate. He was married less than two years ago to Miss Sara Mack, who was also a member of the class of 1905, of Meharry pharmaceutical department. The sympathy of friends in Nashville is extended to the bereaved family.

CHAMPION JACK JOHNSON

Ready for the Great Battle at Reno, Nevada., July 4th.
MONDAYI TELLS THE TALE.— JOHNSON OR JEFFRIES. Special to the Globe. San Francisco, Cal., June 25.—One thing made clear by Governor Gillett's interference with the championship ring event is that both Johnson and Jeffries are determined to fight. Number of wagers have been made that the contest would not take place, and those who made them were banking on what they believe to be the intentions of one or the other of the principals.
Many felt that when the psychological moment arrived Jeffries would find some way to declare himself out of the affair, possibly by means of a doctor's certificate setting forth that he was unfit physically for the brunt of a hard battle. Others had the idea that Johnson would fly the coop some time before the Fourth and not a few of those who held this view based their calculations on Johnson's seeming indifference to everything connected with the big fight, and in particular to the glowing accounts regarding Jeffries' condition which came from the opposition camp.
But as a touch of nature make the whole world kin, a whiff of trouble made Johnson and Jeffries stand forth in their true colors. At first each of the big fellows was dazed at the news that the fight would be stopped so far as San Francisco was concerned. When the shock passed away each of them said he was prepared to go whichever direction Tex led. All the doubt as to the personal intentions and motives of each man are now dissipated. It is felt that Johnson and Jeffries will have it out on the Fourth, no matter what place is selected for the battle.
Monday afternoon at Reno, Nev., will be staged the greatest glove contest for the largest purse in the history of pugilism. Jack Johnson, the most wonderful Negro fighter of the age, will match his skill and endurance against Jim Jeffries, the white giant of California. There are hundreds of thousands of men trying to pick the winner and millions of dollars are wagered on the outcome. The very fact that there is so much uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the contest makes it all the more interesting.
The bout was originally carded for Oakland, Cal., and then switched to the city of San Francisco, where Governor Gillett put a stop to all further preparations by threatening to call
THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1910.
out the militia if the promoters attempted to pull off the match on the Fourth of July. The men behind the match had spent a small fortune making ready for the event, and, when the Governor's message came declaring all bells off Messrs. Rickard and Gleason were left in the hole. A monster pile of lumber shaped into an arena is left standing on Twelfth and Market streets in the earthquake city, as a tribute to the law and order of the Golden State of California.
It should be remembered by followers of the manly art that the same talk that is going the rounds now about Jack Johnson selling out was rife previous to the Johnson-Burns mill in Australia. A number of Johnson's personal friends of Galveston, Texas, wired him for straight news and he unhiteningly replied: "Bet all you have and all you can borrow on me. I will win sure." They took him at his word, and the results are a part of the history or pugilism in the world.
It is said by some of good authority that the real cause of the break between Fitzpatrick and Johnson was because the big champion would not lay down to Burns; Johnson is as certain of victory on July the Fourth. There is no plausible reason why he should sell out in this contest, when he has everything to gain. To win means a fortune and to lose means an eternal disgrace, and it would be impossible to convince the world that the fight was on the level, for everybody believes Johnson the best man.
Pulling off the big fight at Reno will once more bring the Sage Brush State into the limelight as a spot where real championship glove contests can be decided. Nevada first gained fame in the boxing world by the nervy venture of the late Dan Stuart, who brought Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Corbett together at Carson City on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 1907. Fitz knocked out Corbett with his famous solar plexus blow in the fourteenth round. The crowd was small and Stuart lost money on the fight, but he made it up on the fight pictures, as these were the first ever taken of a heavyweight championship contest and the people went wild to gaze upon the films.
On July 3, 1906, at Reno, in practically the same arena where Johnson and Jeff will meet, Marvin Hart defeated Jack Root, of Chicago, in 12 rounds. The referee was James J. Jeffries. It has become a fad among some
newspapers to send boxers to the ringside to report the important glove contests. At Reno on the Fourth of July there will be three noted pugilists acting as ringside correspondents. They are John L. Sullivan, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, and Battling Nelson. An Eastern paper had planned to get Joe Gans to report the battle, but poor old Gans is so weak from consumption down in Arizona that he will hardly nave strength enough to get to the arena, let alone do a strenuous day's work alongside of the hustling correspondents. Bob Fitzsimmons and Tommy Burns are coming over from Australia to see the fight. The appearance of Burns on the ground will give his friends a chance to greet him for the first time since losing the heavyweight championship to Jack Johnson at Sydney Australia, on December 26, 1908.
OFF TO RENO.
Mr. H. Cameron has gone to Reno, Nev., to witness the Johnson-Jeffries fight. He will furnish a special detail of the set-to for the Globe. Mr. Cameron is an athlete himself, and knows every point of the game. Watch for his special report in next week's issue.
