POPE'S LETTER REBOUNDS VOL ME VI. Opinions of Newspapers and Individuals on the Humane Expressions of His Holiness Pius X. The Negro Receives the Pointiff's Message With Great Joy. Below we publish a few editorial comments and also some letters on the Pope's recent utterances. The Conservator, published at Chicago surpassed all newspapers last week with a four-column cut of Pope Pius X and single column cuts of Card. Gibbons and the manager of this paper along with the letter. Editor Wilkins is to be commended upon his newspaper ability, as he is certainly up-to-date and knows how to conduct a metropolitan weekly. Following is the comments; Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette: The Pope's Letter to Editor Chiles is just what one would expect. To us the most significant sentence in it is the one which urges "All Catholics to be friendly" to our people. This Pontiff, like his predecessor, is broad-guaged, exceptionally so. Encouraged Fair Play for Negroes. Chicago (Ill.) Conservator: The late Pope Leo was greatly grieved at the way professed Christians in this country treated the colored people and sent words of encouragement to President Roosvelt in his efforts to give the Negro fair play. The Wrong White Man's Religion. The Wheeling (West Va.) Advocate: The letter throughout is a clear, clean recognition of the Negro as a man and calling upon Catholics everywhere to see that the same considerations of justice are meted out to the Negro as other Americans. This letter, together with the strong epistle of Cardinal Gibbons to the Maryland legislature, proves conclusively that the Catholic church so far as its rulers are concerned, is not too high to offer its sympathy and consolation to the suffering of every race. This is the only attitude that any church man, who pretends to follow in the footsteps of the Christ, can take. If the Negro, struggling up to light, had found that its beams beckoned toward Catholicism, his position in state and church in many respects would have been better. This is not a church paper and has nothing to do with any man's particular faith, but when we see half of Protestanism turning its back on the truth and willing apparently, to wink at any wrong, so that it is visited upon a Negro, it gives us pause. We cannot help from wondering, if after all the Negro did not get hold of the wrong white man's religion. The Catholic church has always protected its votaries; has always stood like adamant for the children of its faith; has offered ever an unbroken front to attack, whether from without or within, if aimed at the humblest of its faith. We thank Pope Pius X and hope that a few Protestant bishops may follow his example. What the Dignataries Think of it. Washington Correspondent in the Kansas City Star: It is considered remarkable by diplomatists here that the Pope should express himself so freely concerning internal events in the United States. It has not been the policy of the Vatican to express itself so plainly on matters peculiarly American. The Pope has confined his communications to generalities. It is remarked that the diplomacy of the Vatican since the death of Pope Leo has been harsher and seemingly less under control than formerly. Attention is called to the conflicting reports from members of the Vatican councils concerning the story that several million dollars was found in the possession of a cardinal after Leo's death and returned by him to the Vatican treasury. It is also stated that the reports of statements by high Vatican officials concerning action to be taken against President Loubet are of more violence than is usually associated with the church's method of achieving results. Aside from the question of whether or not the Pope's criticism involving the accusation of a certain lack of the spirit of Christianity in the United States is just, it is pointed out that the attempt to deal so directly with a matter so purely American as the Negro question is a departure from Vatican precedents. Press Association Showed Wisdom. A student in St. Joseph's Seminary writes as follows: BALTIMORE, MD., 4—28, '04. Editor Chiles, Esq. DEAR SIR: I saw an account of your noble work for our race and the letter sent by the Press Association to the Holy Father, and I write to obtain a copy of your paper. I am a convert to the Catholic church, having finished a Batchelor of Divinity course in Protestant theology previously. I and another colored student here are advancing toward the priesthood. Three inventions I made have gained some success, especially the railroad switch device is soon to be generally adopted. In common with you, I am a lover of my race and hope to do much for it in the near future. Now is not the time to cavil over religious misunderstandings among ourselves when the vitality of the race is at stake. The act of the Western Negro Press Association is one of the wisest and most beneficial in the annals of the race. That divine institution which has encountered and overcome so many powers of this world, so many wicked devices of the human heart, is the power to enlist for the welfare of Negro. Let me, my friend and brother, congratulate you and your associates, and may you continue to further your most noble work for our race and the Holy church in which alone we shall find true justice and our spiritual and temporal rights. Yours for God and the race, A Californian Gets Sore. Because we appealed to foreign powers. Did not Cuba appeal to the United States, as also did the persecuted Jews of Russia? We have appealed for fair treatment for years to deaf and dumb people like the writer of the following letter: LONORA, CAL., 4—26, '04. Nick Chiles, Topeka, Kas. Sir—I have just seen in a San Francisco paper a copy of a letter to you from the Pope of Rome. You asked for his good offices for the better treatment of the Negro in this country. I will say that you have but to teach your race to behave themselves, to do right, to act properly and as human beings, and they will then and always be treated properly and as they deserve. I have had years of experience as a traveler in the South, and I think your race gets the treatment they earn and bring upon themselves. For all that's fair. N. B.—The white people of this great country are the Negroes' friends when they deserve it as has been fully proven many times, and it is a waste of time as well as very silly to appeal to a foreign church power. He can do nothing, and you get very little hope in his answer to your curious letter. Your people are treated according to their deeds and their merits. Le Temps, Ottawa, Canada: Nick Chiles, editor-in-chief of THE TOPEKA PLAINDEAER, an organ for the elevation of the black race, has received a letter from Cardinal Merry Del Val, who has written in the name of Pope Pius X in response to a communication of the Western Negro Press association, asking his Holiness to use his influence for a spirit of kindliness in dealing with Negroes of the United States. The letter says in part: "The Sovereign Pontiff is well aware TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 6, 1904. If you have been a close reader of the daily papers, you must have been very much impressed with the large number of our young boys arrested and placed in the city prison for "petty crimes!" that there is a large number of Catholics among the Negroes of the United States and this fact adds to the interest he feels in the welfare of your race in that country. His Holiness in the capacity of the vicar of Christ extends his kindly solicitude to all races without exception. He will do all in his power to urge the Catholics to deal in a Christian spirit with the Negroes, who have the same right as the rest of humanity to joy in the benefits of the redemption. The life and example of Saint Pierre Claver and of many other Catholic missionaries demonstrates that this is not a new idea entrusted to the church of Christ. Whileadmittingfrankly that crimes are often committed by the Negroes, his Holiness demands for them the same justice that is given to all others by the laws of the world." When will the Negro question be finally settled? We do not know. But one thing we know, and that is that liberty has been denied to the Negroes and that persecution, open or covet, is falling upon them always and everywhere. And why? Because they are black? Is this a reason? No; we can hardly imagine that even children would make such a pretext. His Holiness speaks in the name of the vicar of Christ. We, in the name of humanity, pure and simple, raise our voice to demand for the Negroes, whether they be Catholics, Protestants, schismatics or atheists, the rights which are granted to all the other races of the United States. The crimes committed by the Negroes are not more numerous nor more revolting than those committed by white men, and many times the wretches who lynch a Negro are more culpable than their victim. On the other hand qualities and virtues are often found among the Negroes to which white men are not able to attain. Unfortunately, continued persecution exasperates the most noble minds, and very often, those who PARENT If you have have been very young boys arra crimes!" This is due This is a pr This is som This is so them at work in were born for the highest life, are plunged into crime and vice. The Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman: The present Pope has all along shown a spirit of appreciation for the Negroes of the United States. It is true that the Catholic church has thousands of Negro communicants, and it may be held that their preservation dictates the policy. But it appears that the recent Popes, especially the three latter, Pius IX, Leo XIII and Pius X have used their good offices in trying to find solutions for the vexed problems of the nations of the world. Pope Leo made a vast impression on civilization by his large views on the social disturbances and the labor movements which were more notable in his day. The Pope by inference does not undertake to fathom the race "quarrel" but simply asks in the name of Christ "a treatment in keeping with the tenets of Christianity." He asks what the Negroes ask, that they be accorded trials for crimes and not men's notion as such. The Negroes ask for punishment when merited, but not at the hands of promiscuous individuals who manifest race hatred by cowardly assassination. The Negroes in America ask for punishment when proven guilty at the hands of regularly organized tribunals and not rump courts of officious individuals who feel that after them there are no others. It will not be denied that the colored people do not yet walk on the lines as laid down by high civilization. The few that do are the exceptions; the great majority has yet to learn those nicer ways that are compatible with the days in which they live. But in their state of mediocre civilization they are safe citizens; do not menace the public peace by outlawry and those forms of deviltry known and practiced by the lowly of many races. They may sin morally, and they are not alone, and they may sin excessively, but in that they feel the law's swift execution, making mobs totally useless as engines of justice. EPISCOPALIANS AND THE NEGRO! Boston Negroes to Balk on a "Jim Crow Church." HAVE CHURCHES ENOUGH The White Episcopallans Regard Negro Churchmen as Objects of Charity-- It's Time to Call a Haiti. The white Episcopalians of Boston, after a manner that would probably suit to a degree the celebrated Bishop Wm. Brown of Arkansas, are here in Boston enlarging the work of providing for the worship of God by colored people in special churches. What is the matter? Are there not a sufficient number of churches in Boston to accommodate the colored Episcopalians without establishing more churches? Or is the Episcopalian church in Boston unwilling to have colored Episcopalians worship with the white Episcopalians? What is the matter? Is Father Field actually establishing Jim Crow churches in Boston? This matter needs investigation. We do not believe that any of our thoughtful people believe in white people establishing colored churches in Boston. We shall have more to say on this next week.—Boston Guardian. Let the colored Episcopalians in Topeka follow in their footsteps. There is no reason why colored people who are well educated and refined should be put off to themselves to serve the same God that their mas- MENTS, SAVE THE have been a close reader of the daily very much impressed with the large arrested and placed in the city pro- cise to idleness. problem for the parents to solve. something that cannot be remedied by something that can only be remedied instead of loafing the streets. ters are serving. The whites look upon the colored parishioners as objects of charity and of pity as they do the missions of China and Africa. This should not be among enlightened people. If our colored friends wish to elevate and increase the standing of their race, they should offer themselves to the church on West Eighth street, where the highest type of Episcopal worshippers meet. The congregating with these people would bring about a higher admiration for our friends, and would cause a large increase in membership. We claim that the colored Catholics are doing more for the elevation of the Negro than any other colored Christian organization of the white man's church. They do maintain the dignity of attending the same church and school. Now comes the colored Episcopalians of Boston, who stand out boldly for one church, and will not have a Jim Crow Episcopal church. We say they are right and we take off our hat to them. Maintain Christian dignity, if nothing else. We would not belong to any church the members of which would not allow a Negro to pastor them. Until Negroes learn that their ambitions are as lofty as those of any one else, and that they are looking to go to the topmost round of merit, demand it, and not color, they will always be the white man's hewer of wood and drawer of water. If the Negro Episcopal will allow his white brother to --- segregate him in the church they will never be able to educate a Negro to pastor a white congregation, or a Negro officer to sit in the councils of that body. So let us live and learn to use good, common horse sense, and not be used like the spider and the fly: be tempted by high-sounding phrases and gaudy looks. We have not outgrown a thousand years within forty (from our old fathers' and mothers' shouting religion.) The Episcopal church was founded for aristocratic, refined and educated people, who represented the wealth of the country, and that was over a thousand years ago, and it will take us at least five hundred years to educate a colored divine that the whites would accept as a pastor. NICK CHILES. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. Madam Lucas, the Queen of Songs Delights a Large Audience. The people of this city were given a rare treat on April 29th when the auditorium of the M. and O. hall was filled to overflowing with a happy expectant crowd, ready and waiting for whatever surprise might be in store for them. As the different numbers on the program was called and the participants responded, the audience applauded as their enthusiasm rose to a high pitch. Everybody seemed to be having the time of their life; but the crowning glory was yet to come, and was only reached when Mme. Lucas, the great queen of songs, resplendent in a bewitching gown, that only made a BOYS! by papers, you must the number of our prison for "petty by legislation. medied by keeping luxurious setting for her charming personality, appeared upon the stage. A thunder of applause arose from the people; a hush fell upon the applause, and it died away as quickly as it came and all sat charmed and enchanted as her full, clear, round, sweet tones filled the hall. Again and again she was recalled; ever and always swaying her hearers with the power of her superb voice. It is truly said among blacks and whites, that no singer has ever decked the stage of any Kansas City house who is the possessor of a purer, clearer or more flexible voice than Mme. Lucas. The St. Joseph Spectator says: "Mme. Lucas, formerly with the Nashville Students, proved herself a veritable queen of song. The Madam was unknown to St. Joseph people, but by her rendition of her opening solo and her response to the hearty encore, she sang herself into the hearts of her hearers." Emporia Gazette: "Those who heard Mme. Lucas, a colored lady sing say that she is one of the best singers that ever appeared in Emporia. So well pleased were some of the society people that they engaged her to sing in their homes." This entertainment was given for the benefit of Olive Branch Temple S. of M. T's under the management of Misses Rebecca M. Thompson, and Minne Jackson and was both a literary and financial success. FT. SCOTT, KANS. Dr. B. A. McLemore left last week for California to attend the general conference of the M. E. church as a delegate. He was accompanied by his wife. J. B. Bass and Mrs. Carrie Hughes, representatives of THE PLAINDEALER and K. & L. of P., were visitors last week. The Republican county convention was held here last week. KANSAS CITY RACE TROUBLE After the killing of the white boy by the colored, there were threats of violence, so the colored boy was taken in hands by a few true race men (the same I will mention later,) and turned over to the law without allowing the hands of the outside white man to touch him. Then these same "do and not talk" colored men got their arms and stood guard all night, not allowing a white man to enter the jail yard; yet there were 150 or 200 whites about in gangs and there is no doubt but the same old rope and burned at the stake as so many times before, and one not long ago in Leavenworth, Kau., would have been repeated had it not been for the bravery of the following men (colored) who acted as leaders, and we should call these men martyrs; for any Negro who picks up a gun and stands guard in order to protect a member of his race that he may have a trial before the bar of justice, a right that is accorded an American citizen, is a martyr, and these are the names: Rev, E. T. Green, (Baptist church on Third St.) William Alexander, Walter Guthere M. L. Wilson, W. M. Nappier. These leaders of the protection organization were taken prisoners the next day and remained in jail for over a week, while 10,000 Negroes of Kansas City, Kansas, with about fifty Negroes of influence, gave little, if any notice to their welfare. True as it is, those Negroes who left their families, homes and comforts, and stood as a shield for one in whose veins flowed many a drop of African blood, were not men who hail from Lawrence university, Lincoln institute or Howard. So we can not expect them to act in accordance with their more fortunate brothers whom God has blessed to look on things from the side of culture. On going into the homes of these Negro men who were willing to lay down their lives in defense of the Negro boy, Gregory, you will not find on their walls a diploma printed in bold-faced type of Latin that in many cases is unknown to the holder, and framed in a gold-leaf frame and hung in a conspicuous place in order that it may speak to you as you come in the office or home in words like this: "See me? Over me is the roof that covers my owner, 'The Hub,' and about him all things move." No, Green, Alexander, Nappier, Guthere, Willson—their houses contain nothing like the above-mentioned, but in each of their houses lives a "Nat Turner" of old, who laid down his life that others might live and breathe the free air. Imprisoned by the white man and denounced by the up-to-date Negro is what these true-hearted, uneducated Negro men got. Should not they have expected it? Is it not true in all causes for good? What Mr. leading Negro would have done would have been to remain quiet, let the white mob lynch young Gregory, as in all other cases (and one here at Leavenworth, Kan.) Then they would placed their soft hands upon their hearts, lifted their eyes to the firmament, repeating, "Who would have thought it?" "My God! What pity!" "It's a shame!" "We members of the Centre must do something at once." (Remember, reader, the Negro is dead, yes, dead.) When things are over, and the white man has forgotten the coincidence, the members of the Centre about which everything moves, call a meeting, a mass meeting of the true Negro love one for another. The members of the Centre are on the rostrum, the circumference members are in the audience. The meeting is called to order by a member of the Centre. He scans the house to see that no white faces have slipped in, for he will sure choke if he sees one. Satisfied that there are no white faces, he oils the hinges of his tongue, a few crocodile tears come to his eye—not eyes. He is now installed, his pulse is throbbing; a bootjack is necessary to pull off his hat. Take a snapshot of the real true Negro leader, defender and race promoter as far as words go. Resolution after resolution is moved, seconded and adopted. A NUMBER 18. A Few Facts About "Boy" Gregory (colord) Killing "Boy" Martin (white) During a Game of Ball at the Park on April 12th, 1904.

The Negro has been lynched, the work of the leaders is ended, and all is over until the next lynching, when the above facts are repeated. Yours Truly. An after-thought: I have called no names, so no one need take offense. If what I have said as an eye-witness is a lie, then there will be nothing said, but if it is the truth, then you know that hurts. MARRIED A COLORED WOMAN. Evanston, Wyo., Apr.14.—One of the most extraordinary weddings on record occurred here when L. G. McLean, a business man of Fairhaven, Ore., and Ellen M. Early of Seattle, Wash., the latter being a comely colored woman, were made one. The groom is a white man, and never met his bride until he stepped on the west bound Union Pacific passenger at Omaha. The strange courtship lasted two days on board the train, the couple stopping off here to have a wedding ceremony performed. Although colored, the bride is an octoroon of striking beauty.—El Paso Arc Light. The above report coming from such a long distance shows that the party who wrote the same was not acquainted with the facts of the case, as it does a great injustice to the parties mentioned. The bride is recently from British Columbia, her home being in Utah, and instead of being "an octooon of striking beauty," as some would like to say, she is just an ordinary dark brown skin woman, and the groom and bride have been acquainted and were engaged for two or three years. They came to this city a little over a month ago to visit her mother, "Grandma James," and also to be married, but the laws of Utah prohibiting an inter-marriage of blacks and whites, they went to Evanston, Wyoming for that purpose and returned to this city, where they are cozy domiciled at Second East and Fifth South.—Salt Lake City (Utah) Plain Dealer. ORITCARY. Mr. Henry Moore, who died a few days ago in Jetmore, Kana., was an extraordinary man. He was closely connected with the famous Colonel Moore, of Kentucky, who, during President Jackson's administration was appointed to purchase the lands from the Indians in Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama and convey the Indians to Arkansas. Henry Moore, then but a young man, of considerable tact, was chosen from among many to accompany Col. Moore on this, famous trip. Father Moore, as he was generally called, was a man of a most gentle disposition, and was loved by all who knew him. He was the father of one of the brightest men in Hodgeman county, T. P. Moore, who fills with credit the position of secretary of the Cattle Growers' association of Western Kansas. His funeral was the largest ever held in Hodgeman county. The services were conducted by the Rev. C. H. Duvall, pastor of the First African Baptist church of Topeka, who had been his pastor for two years. The text chosen for the occasion was from Job 14: 14: "If a man die, shall he live again? The sermon was a masterly effort. The deceased's last words, "I now see a better place," were quoted. His son, T. P. Moore, and his many grand children have the sympathy of all who know them." "He is gone, but not forgotten." The Southern Reporter published at Charleston, South Carolina, and edited by whom we do not know, as the parties in control seem to be cowards or they would fly their names at the mast-head of their sheet, and speak boldly upon the rights of mankind. The Reporter questions our authority to direct the Republicans of South Carolina as to what they should do, is not assumed by us, but the people of the Southland are demanding of us to take up their cause and carry it to victory, as they are tired of people pretending to instruct them and at the same time afraid to show themselves. It seems to us that if the Southern Reporter would use more common sense and diplomacy in South Carolina politics, backed by a little courage and backbone, not only the Republican party, but the entire population would move faster. An editor with an angle worm backbone should not seek to take issue and insinuate that a man who places his name at the head of a paper and signs his name at the end of his writings and speaks out boldly what he believes to be for the best interest of the people, should not be criticised by such angle worm editors. When Mr. Capers was appointed to the position that he now holds, we were led to believe that it would be antagonistic to the welfare and upbuilding of the party and the colored people of South Carolina, but knowing him as we do, we thought he would prove to the contrary and he has distinguished himself in such a manner that he won the admiration of a large majority of the thinking and diplomatic Negroes of that state as well as the good, loyal white people who want justice meted out to all men alike. If the Southern Reporter would be a little more manly and courageous along with a little good judgment in politics in that state, they would be able to bring a majority of the better class of white men like Mr. Capers into the Republican party and have them believe as we do, that equality at law, free speech, an honest ballot and a fair count would be the salvation of that state. As to our changing front we have never been accused of that before, and we have sense enough to know when a person is trying to do right and are fair enough to express it when we learn that it is true. If Ben Tillman would change his way of acting and would reconsider the folly of his ways, we would be the first to shake his hand and forgive him of his unpardonable sins committed upon the Negro race. The Southern Reporter fails to point out one single instance where Mr. Capers has miscon- ducted himself while in office or has been partial to people on account of color or condition. The Hon. E. H. Deas, who was one of Mr. Capers strongest opposers, now comes out strong in his defense. Let the Southern Reporter and the honest, thinking hard-working class of colored people in South Carolina rally to Mr. Capers' support and uphold him, council with him concerning the outrages and the inequality at law in that state. By this method, much good will be accomplished. NICK CHILES. In the days of John J. Ingalls, Kansas kept a man in our national Congress capable of removing the epidermis from the Democratic fire eaters. The work of Congressman Scott in handing a few bunches to the Democratic leaders, who have hoped to make campaign material out of the now ancient Roosevelt-Washington luncheon, proves beyond question that our present delegation at Washington is not deficient in carrying on the noble work of cuticle lifting. Congressman Scott belongs to the young crowd in Kansas and during his two terms of service as congressman-at-large, has developed into one of the strong members of that body. COLORED churches are not able to do their full duty as Christian organizations because of the large burden of debt hanging over the congregations. Much of this debt has been contracted through a desire to have an edifice as large and handsome as some white parish whose congregation contains many men of wealth. We must get out of this rut of multiplying church buildings and making additional burdens for our people and the public to pay. WE wonder what has become of the multitude of Negro Democrats? In the palmy days of Clevelandism C. H. J. Taylor, Trotter and a number of lesser lights gave color to that party. We presume that the anxiety of the Democratic leaders to find a "colorless" candidate for the presidency has left. "Sambo" out of the Democratic party. VINITA, I. T. The members of the Vinita Art club: Mrs. A. D. Johnson, president; Mrs. Tyre H. Finley, secretary; Mesdames L.W. Williams, J. L. Davis, S. L. Hill, J. W. Wallace, W. W. Barker, W. H. Vinters, P.

Lewis of Emporia, Kas., agent for THE PLAINDEALER, was a visitor at the Art club last week and was highly entertained by the hostess, Mrs. Belle Douglass, The club met this week with Miss Kate Johnson. Rev. Jennings is conducting a successful revival meeting at his church, 2d Baptist, and he is being assisted by Revs. Blackwell and Anderson, and a great work is being accomplished. The Moore Brothers, two business young men of the city, rode the "goat" last week at Masonic hall. They' remember getting on the "goat" but they can't remember getting off. Mrs. A. Johnson left Sunday for Ft. Scott to visit friends. Prof. W. O. White and Miss E. Simes were pleased to welcome P. F. Lewis' visit to the public schools last week. These instructors are sparing no pains in the moral and intellectual training of the colored youth. Vinita is the place for good colored people to come and buy good town property. WESTON, MO., NOTES. There is one thing of which Weston people should be proud and that is the fact that from the public schools of Weston there will be more boys and girls turned out ready for some college this year than ever before. In all there are eight and this speaks well for the lady who has exercised no small degree of pains with them. She is a graduate of Lincoln Institute of Jefferson Cy. The names of the graduates are: Myrtle Stone, Annie Guilford, Valeta Rose, Rosa Bell, M. E. and Jessie Wilkerson, Ted Williams and Virgil Spotts. Miss Ella Boone, teacher. There will be a grand concert given by the school on Saturday night at the Baptist church and all Weston is expected to turn out. God speed such good work by our boys and girls and may the parents rush them on to some good college, as there are no more promising youth anywhere than these boys and girls. The Rev. Dr. F. G. Snelson, late pastor of St. John church, Topeka, but now presiding elder Kansas City, Mo., district, A. M. E church, has been elected a regular accredited delegate to the general conference which convened in Chicago, Monday morning, May 2, 1904. His great worth as a m'issionary and a sterling A. M. E. churchman has thus been remembered and honored by his late collaborors over the sea. Dr. Snelson is being mentioned as the one man of all the church who should be made general secretary of missionaries to succeed Dr. Parks who is an aspirant for the Bishopric. While Dr. Snelson may not be strictly a Western delegate, yet we hope the Western delegation will return to us bringing to us some permanent honors. The proposed candidacy of Dr. Snelson for secretary of missions appears to be a splendid opportunity as he is an able man and worthy of any honors. ATCHISON. Peter Barnett, moderator of the meeting at Shiloh Bap. church, informs the correspondent that the item concerning a vote being taken on Revs. Copeland and Jones for pastor is an error; that the vote was taken on a letter about Rev. Jones' return, all of which we believe and make the correction. Mr. Clora who gave us the item must have misunderstood what really did take place. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jackson, Mrs. and Mr. Rena Dale are all proud mothers and fathers, and are passing the cigars. Mrs. and Mr. Irvin Baldridge belong in this list too. The funeral of Miss Lela Glover took place last Thursday at the A. M. E. church under the auspices of the Daughters of Bethel, Rev. Terrell officiating. Report is received that Rev. J. W. Wilson is doing well at his new charge at Leavenworth. The Ebenezer Baptist church had quite an interesting entertainment last Thursday evening. Many authors and persons were presented by description. Leander and Hero circle is preparing for a big late party. We counted 20 more homes occupied by colored people who are active, showing taste in their yards. How many more will prove to the white people that we will keep what we have as nice as they do? Mothers are talking of organizing to stop those boys who do not attend school from laying on the Flemmings corner for their girls as they leave the school.

Shaffer, presiding Bishop of the Fifth Episcopal district for the past four years, and Chancellor of Western university; will at an early date leave us for the seat of the General Conference in Chicago, Ill., and Whereas, He will perhaps sever his relations with us as Bishop in this, the Fifth Episcopal district, where his labors have been in every way successful and beneficial to us from a spiritual, financial and intellectual standpoint, Therefore be it Resolved, That we, the trustees now in session tender Bishop C. T. Shaffer our heartfelt thanks for the great work he has accomplished, under God, this quadrennium. Under his administration the mortgage on Western university has been paid off; old debts cancelled; the enrollment of the school is the largest in the school history, and many improvements have been made that place Western university among the foremost schools of the denomination. Be it further Resolved, That whether Bishop Shaffer should be returned to this district or be assigned to another district, he has our best wishes for his success in the field of labor, wherever it may be, and we pray God's blessing upon him and his dear companion, who has shared with him the successes that have attended his efforts in the journey of life. Be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be given to the Bishop, be entered in in the journal and a copy given to the press. April 20, 1904. JAMES H. CREWS, Sec'y. NOTICE.

We have about 500 members 100 of whom are paid up; and to those who are paid up for six months or a year, if they will call at our office their money will be refunded. We appreciate those who have tried to help us make the association a success, but having tried for six months to put the establishment on a firm basis, and having failed, we decide the best movement for us and those concerned is to discontinue the association. It will be impossible to try to run it without the assessment plan and under the present circumstances it will be imposing on the good people who have helped us to bring the association up to this point to continue otherwise. So many of our people seem to think that the dime for initiation fee is all they have to pay; we have difficulty in having them understand that it takes money to run any business; this being true we do not wish to impose upon them hence discontinue the organization.
