He Seems Much Alive, y However, ‘A London special says: The reap- wearance Sunday of a brilliant sun- shine after weeks of rain and murky weather gave to the fifst day of coro- nation week an air of unusual gayety and gladdened h-arts of thousands of British aubjects trom all partg of the empire and the thousands of foreign- ers pouring into London eager to wit- ness as much of the week's events as possible. ‘The announcement that King Ed- ward, Queen Alexandra and the court would return to London from Wind- sor Monday at noon increased the uni- ‘versal anticipations for that day and served to quiet, to some extent, the Hlood of ex'raordinary rumors coneern- ing the King’s physical condition, va- rled In some quarters by weird taics of plots to assnssinate his majesty and other fictions, all of which were promptly denfed by the officials most intimately connected with the king. King Edward's health was authorita- tively declared ts be good at Windsor castle Sunday and during the morning his, majesty attended divine service, companied by othcr members of the royal family. Sunday evening be cn- Joyed a drive through the royal gar- dens of Windsor castle in a closed car- xlage. At the command of the king many thousand persons were admitted to the east terrace of Windsor castle for the Sunday band performances. The ter- race was crowded. The king and the queen listened to the music from the windows of their private apartments. King Edward's appearance does not justify tho sensational rumors of his illness. s Thoroughfares Crowded, The congested condition of the streets of London throughout Sunday furnished an omen of the condition of travel through these streets the latter days of the week, The barriers ‘across the: streets which intersect those through which the coronation procession will pass, and which nr2 completed, are proving an impediment to ordinary traffic. Kensington gardens and the beanti- ful groves about the Crystal and Alex- andra palaces are filled with colonial and native troops, clad in scar.ct, white, khaki and blue,uniforms. The throngs in the street ct night ind much to engage the cyé. The Trouts of innumerable buildings are hung with Nghted decorations and the venetian masts are covered with gar- lands and connected by strands of roses. The streets are filled with mile after mile of colored lights and the va- tious stations of the royal coronation procession are marked with arches representing Great Britain’s colonies. American flags were in evidence at a great number of windows. Some hotels are flying both American and British ‘flags from their staffs In honor of the American visitors domiciled within.

IT'S ALL OVER NOW, Another Attempt to “Harmonize” on , Reciprocity Bil Falls, -A Washington special. says: q If there were any question bout ‘the Roveevelt Spooner Cuban bill being dead for this session—and that means dead foreycr—all doubts were removed by the failure of Friday afternoon's tepublican caucus to take any definite action. Without doing arything but listen to speeches, the caucus adjourn- ed subject to the call of the chairman. This in all probability means that there will be no other meeting of the eaueus and wothing further will be done toward bringing forward the bill to advance which President Roosevelt has written two messages, and for which tfe has used the whole Influence of his administration, ‘The cabinet also discussed tho ques- tion and tho president announced hi determination to negotiate a reciproc ity treaty with Cuba. Steps toward this end kaye already been taken. It was the unanimous opinion of the cab- inet that this was tho only thing left and to president promptly ‘set the whee's in motion toward that end, Senator Allison said there would be no attempt to bring the Cuban bill in the senate before adjournment. On top of this Senator Spoooner sald congress would adjourn before the Fourth of July.

Sir Francls Knollys, the king’s pri- vate secretary issued the official an- nouncement as Yollows: ‘ “The king ts suffering from perlty- philitis. is, condition Saturday was so satisfactory that It was hoped with care his majesty would be able to go through the ceremony. On Monday evening a recrudescence became mant- fest, rendering surgical operation nec essary today.” ‘The above was signed by the king's physielans, Drs, Lister, Thomas Smith Laking, Thomas Barlow and ‘reves. ee ee ere te Tho sudden atinouncement of the postponement of the coronation, just ‘on thie evb of the ceremony causcd ut? most consternation everywhere, ‘Thenews spread Uke wildfire. The tens of thousditds of occupants of the streets suddenly stood still under the sudden shock and gazed at one another In silent dread of what might come next. On Saturday and Sunday society was diecussing the reports of the King’s I'ncss and though the circum stantiality, detail and sources from which they came precluded eniire dis- belief, there was a disposition to doubt the stories and whes the positive cate- gorical denial was officially issued they were dismissed az being unfounded. Hemorrholds, apopléxy and lumbag¢ were a few of the king's maladies dis cussed In the clubs and drawing rooms and those discussing them recalled the storles how the king even recer ly reiterated his beifef that he would never be crowned. . On the stock exchange the effect of the startling news was {mmediate. Prices weakened, led by consols by a fall of one-half a point. His majesty, under ordinary clreum- stances, was not Icokea upon as a good subject for operations and though the king passed successfully through the ordeal, {t 1s belleved that four weeks must elapse before he will be Able to thdergo the arduous Jabors of the coronation eeremoblal.

Thé king is suffering from an Illntss which makes an opera- tion necessary today. The cozonation, therefore, 1s postponed.” The bishop requested the congrcga- tion to join in the litany aut of the coronation service and pray for, the re- covery of the king. During the'afternoon the earl mar. shal, Duke of Norfolk, issued the fol lowing notice: ¢ “Tho earl marshal has received the King’s commands to express his ma- Jesty’s deep sorrow that owing to his serlous illness the coronation ceremo ny must be postponed. The celebra tions in London in consequence will be lkewlse pestponed, but It ts the King’s earnest hope that,the celebra tions In the country shall be held as al. ready arranged.” - The king also expressed to the lord mayor ‘his desire that his majesty'r dinner to the poor of London be not Postponed. ° King Doing Welly A bulletin issued by the doctors Wednesday morning. was as follows: “The King's condition 1s as good as could be expected after so serious an operation.

Greene and Gaynor may make their escape from Crnada by jumping ball and will go to France, where their lawyers believe they will be free from extradition. Department of justice officials at Washington fear this result. They seem to believe that the judge in Quebec, before whom the case will’ be heard, now ‘proposes to remand the two men to the extrad!- tion commissioners, but pending com- maitment by this official the judge will admit them to ball. This means that both will have an opportunity to escape from the pravince of Quebec and will selze upon it. The action of the Que- bec judge would not be possible un- der American forms., .

Young Man, Moon Gazing, Falls From “Devil's Pulpit,” But Lives. * Edward Lyndon, of Athens, Ga., the son of A. J. Lyndon, stepped off “The Devil's Pulpit” while ylewing Tallu- lah Falls by moonlight carly Sunday morning end,plunged one hundred feet to the Jagged rocks below. Not a bone In hls body was Broken and his cém- plete recovery fs expected. The gorgeus view cf the falls by moonlight attracted many visitors to the edge of the precipiccs last week. Young Lyndon heard of the magnil- cent spectacie and resalved to sce it. It was after midniglit Saturday when the full moon rose high cnough i tho heavens for the light to reach the surg: ing waters of the Tallulah as they tum: ble over the Icdge and roar down into the dark chasm be’ow. Lyzdon who had been sitting up for this event, started out alone about midnight from- the hetel. .* Reaching the vicinity of the falls, ho chose a path leading to “Devil's Pul- pit,” which overhangs a chasm.so deep that few can look down into it without a sensation of dizziness. Ie went too near the ledge and stepped off in tho dark ‘when he reached the “Pulpit.” Headlong into the black chasm bd plunged, turning over and over In tho descent. Seventy feet below the ledge a tres futted out of the chasm wall. Lyndon clutched at {t’as his body crashed into its folllage. He grasped a bough, but the tree came up by the roots and again he found himself diving head- ‘long down, down teward the jagged ‘rocks below. The fall into the tree ‘had slackened the speed of hls descent /so,that he struck om the rocks with re- }duced momentum. He was stunced, of course, and lay as one dead when he landed at the bottom of the chasm. ‘A party viewing the falls from an- other point heard a wild cry and 2 crash, but they did not dream the nolso came from one falling over the prec!- pice. They were the only parties in the vicinity at that hour and when they left the falls young Lyndon had cnly ‘the thunderlag cataract and the tow- | ering walls 6f,the chasm for company when he regained consciousness rome time later. He begen to cry cut for. help, but not a human being was with- ‘in range of his vojce.. . | After daylight his. friends missed ‘him and began a search which led up to the ledge from which he ‘had tumbled. Here they heard him faintly, calling. A rope was secured and let down to him; “This he fastened to his tbody and they drew him up.

It seems that President Palma has been omitting to give the darker portion of the Cubans any official preferment and that they have begun to resent it and to demand consideration in the appointment to office. The fact that any difference at all between people on account of their color is made in Cuba is due to imported American prejudice. The entire Cuban people are made up for the most part out of what we call mulattoes in America, and as they themselves are the result of miscegenation they probably never should have thought about the color question had it not been taught to them as a sign of American progress. But President Palma should remember that it was only what Weyler called the "nigger uprising" that made it possible for him "an American citizen," to be the first president (in fact, to be any president) of a republic. He should not now attempt to kick down the bridge that carried him over, if he does, we are quite sure that the same people that made his presidency possible will afford him another chance to show his great patriotism and daring bravery in fighting for his country that he manifested by his 18 years quiet sojourn in America.—Guardian.

The attendance upon the Negro Young People's Christian and Educational Congress to be held in Atlanta, Ga., August 6, to 11, 1902, will be the greatest occasion the race has ever seen and the largest convention ever assembled south of the Mason and Dixon line, except the Christian Endeavor Convention at Nashville. Special trains of delegates will be operated from Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, Washington, D. C., Alabama, South Carolina and other points in the United States. The large cities as Augusta, Macon, Columbus, Savannah, Rome, Albany, Newman and other towns in the State of Georgia will operate special trains to the meeting to convey the delegates, teachers and Christian workers who will attend. These will not be excursion trains, but will be special worked up parties of Christian workers, who will represent the Christian people of the cities from which they come, and in every case will be the best people in these cities. For the accommoda- [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. tion of these visitors who will pay one fare, the railroad companies will furnish their finest equipment. The trains will be decorated showing the states and cities from which the delegates hail. First A. B. Chun Large congregations asses each service last Sunday. en o'clock services were ex ely good: Dr. Carr preachs stirring sermon from th It should be understood that the Negro Young People's Christian and Educational Congress is a mass Convention of Christian workers. We are asking that each Church, Sunday School, Young People's Society, Y. M. C. A., institutions of learning, etc., elect delegates. But this is not to be understood as debarring any Christian worker from attending who may choose to pay his own fare to join in this great effort to impress the nation with our firm reliance upon God and the necessity for using all means to reach the unreached of our people, especially the young people of the race. All Christian workers will find welcome in the Convention and every effort will be made to give them pleasant accommodations and agreeable entertainment. It is an agreeable fact that the school teachers are coming in large numbers. Richmond, Va., Indianapolis, Washington, Nashville, Chattanooga, New Orleans, Spartanburg, Savannah, Augusta, Charleston, Lynchburg and other points, too numerous to mention, will send special delegations of teachers. Many of the leading teachers throughout the land think this a good time to organize a national colored teachers association. There are at present fifteen field secretaries traveling throughout the United States together with two thousand commissioners and agents, appointed to represent each community in the interest of the Congress and to see that the very best workers are solicited to attend. These field secretaries and commissioners report that never before have our people manifested such large interest in a movement. Everybody feels that the moral effect of ten thousand Christian Negroes assembled together for the purpose of counseling on the future of the race will be the very best upon the nation. All who are expecting to attend will do us the favor to correspond with us at once so that we may give them correct information concerning the railroad rates, etc. We now ask that all who are coming will at once consult with their local railroad agent at the point where they live, and if the agent cannot give proper information, please notify us at once.

Dr. Carr preached a soul stirring sermon from the subject, "The Blood of Jesus." At 8 p. m., Dr. Carr preached a special sermon to Company "R." Colquit Blues, from "Soldierism." The sermon was highly complimented, but we were not surprise that Dr. Carr's extensive biblical knowledge and long experience enables him to preach a high class sermon at any time. It is very gratifying to see the union and harmony manifested among the members. The beautifying of the church has greatly encouraged them and each one is doing his best to make his church the most beautiful and attractive in the city. We expect the twenty-seventh to be the greatest in the history of the church. The bust of the late Dr. E.J. Love will be put in the church just before the reopening, but will not be unveiled possibly before the first Sunday evening in August. We are expecting our new pews in a few days. An expert will be sent from Cincinnati to place them in order. The decoration of the church was completed this week. The auditorium presents as fine an appearance as any church in this country. In fact it is a credit to Savannah. It is acknowledged on every side that Dr. Carr has used great skill in the accomplishment of this great work. The excursion to St. Catherine Island was a grand success. To-morrow the pastor will preach a special sermon to the Union Brotherhood Association. You are cordially invited to attend our services.

At 8 p. m., Rev. Cargile delivered an excellent discourse to a very large congregation. His text was, Zacharius 6-6, Theme of discourse, "God giveth the increase as usual."

Young intelligent, and well informed brethren were in attendance. The Widows and Orphans' home was the main attraction of the delegates, especially those who have never attended a grand session. The opening of the Grand Lodge was an auspicious one. A large number of the delegates were at the opening and everything pointed to a harmonious and profitable session. The board of trustees of the home met on Monday and prepared an excellent report to render to the Grand Lodge. Each member of the board seemed imbued with the idea of making the home a success.

Hill, Reynolds, and Thomas of Atlanta, Mincey, Jenkins, and others. Bolton Street Church. The services at the First A. B. Church, West Broad and Bolton streets, on last Sunday were very inspiring. In the morning the pastor Rev. T. M. Williamson, B. D., preached a soul stirring sermon on "Religious investigation." The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. were well attended, and the exercises were real edifying. Mr. J. E. Johnson is superintendent of the Sunday School and under his leadership the Sunday School is kept in a prosperous condition. Mr. R. H. Johnson, Jr., is president of the B. Y. P. U., and Miss Ruth A. Tyson is vice president. They extend an invitation to the general public to come out each Sunday at 4:30 p.m, and participate in the very interesting exercises.

Williamson for two weeks, and has preached a series of soul stirring sermons. He had intended to take in Darien, Ga., and Jacksonville, Fln., before returning home, but having received a card of information that his wife and son were sick, he left to-day for Atlanta. On last Wednesday night, Rev. H. L. Heywood preached the sermon of his life for Rev. Williamson and his good people. On to-morrow morning Rev. J. C. Bryan of Brunswick will preach, and at night Rev. Williamson will preach on "Christ three commands at the grave of Lazarus." The public is invited to all the services. Second Baptist Church. The services last Sunday were well attended all day. At 11 o'clock the pastor, Dr. Durham preached an unusually interesting and impressive sermon from Romans 13:9. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." The doctor threw new-light on this old text and presented it in a way that all present felt its force and personal application. At 4 p. m. the Sunday schoolwas well attended and many valuable and useful thoughts were brought out by the teachers and pastor teaching and reviewing the lesson, as for teaching and music this school is up-to-date. At 8:30 p. m. Rev. J. M. Jones of our State Missionary preached a very able and instructive sermon from Romans 10 14-15 Thema "Christian Missions." Dr. Durham attended the Baptist General Missionary and Educational Convention of Georgia last week at Macon and reports a harmonious and profitable session.

His subject was "How to be useful," from which he brought out many vital points to show the necessity of young men being useful to the world. He said this is an age in which young men are foremost and we must equip ourselves so that when the responsibility is placed upon us we can accept it with dignity and manhood. Preparation, he said, is what is needed most; that we should be able to master our trade or profession as well or better than any one else. It is alright for us in our private lines to be satisfied if we never expect to be of great use to ourselves and our race; but if we expect to surmount all difficulties and achieve any amount of greatness we should be dissatisfied in our low state and continue to rise until we reach the zenith of our success. He concluded his remarks by congratulating us for the remarkable progress made by the club and wished us every possible success. The members are making every effort to make our initial literary entertainment a complete success. Mr. E. C. Williams of Atlanta University was among the applicants for membership Tuesday night. We feel quite sure that he will make an active and energetic member. Silver Wedding. List of presents to President and Mrs.R.R.Wright at their silver wedding.

The installation of the Young Men Christian Association took place at St Philip's hall on Monday night June 19. An address was delivered by Mr. William Chislam, subject, "The Negro as a Man." He showed that the Negro has shown himself in every sense of the word, as a man, a statesman, morally and as a Christian; also a solo by Miss Margie Ree Walker, after which an address was delivered by Mr. W. Du Henri Brown, subject, "Evidences of racial destruction." He showed how nations rise and how nations fall, and what was the cause; and that we as a people ought to guard against the things that has caused them to fall. The Y. M. C. A. feels lifted upon the subjects of both gentlemen, and thinks great good will be done through their subject for the benefit of the Y. M. O. A. Mr. M. A. Green installed the officers. T. J. Houston.
