Beacon Lights FOR NEGROES Hope. When we have Fred Douglas as a statesman, Johnston as a historian, W. E. B. Dubois as a sociologist; Booker T. Washington as an educator, Dr. Dan Williams as a physicist, Dunbar as a poet, Henry Tanner, as an artist and Coleridge Taylor as a musical composer, it is folly for us to sit down hopelessly brooding over the difficulties that surround us. Lot us arise in our might and overcome the difficulties and prove ourselves men as others have done.-Fisk Herald. Act Sensibly. The Negro votes of the north and west hold the balance of power, and the republican party cannot win in either a congressional or presidential election without them. If these Negro voters become very much incensed over the outrageous treatment that the lily white republ cans are now meting out to the Negro voters in the south, they will see to it in November when the election occurs that the republican party, lose their majority in the house of representatives. Just now the republican party like sheep at the slaughter pen, is licking the butcher's knife. May it not continue to play the fool and like an ox march to the slaughter—Star of Zion. --- White Bascals. Senator Money, generally considered a Bourbon democrat, who halls from Mississippi, makes an admirable retort to the charge made in some quarters that the Negro delegates from the south to the republican conventions is purchasable, and the elimination of the race from politics will institute a reform and promote an organization of white men that will give character and influence to the party. He says, and truthfully, too, that the white men of Mississippi who enter the republican party do it from sinister motives, and that they can be purchased as easily as delegates of any other color who wish to make all they can for themselves. He has no faith in the new movement, and does not think that the elimination of the Negro will do anything except increase the democratic majorities by alienating the few Negroes who are qualified to vote.—Exchange. . . . Slavery in a Capsule. Slavery in a Capsule. The selling of Negroes in Kentucky when found guilty of vagrancy is a practice susceptible of many abuses and lackings in a single element of good policy. It offers to an unscrupulous constabulary a vast field for the wreaking of private vengeance against individuals who may have offended them. We cannot tell how far the thing may go. If the Negro Fisher Milton can be sold in Shelbyville, Ky., at public auction for the period of twelve months, hundreds can be subjected to the same treatment upon the filmsiest of evidence in outlying communities where the arm of the law is weak. It is a queer anomaly that his services should be purchased by a colored man. Mr. Murphy may get his $20 worth of work out of Fisher, but at the close, neither will be better men for the relation thus sustained. The thing savors too strongly of the villainous convict lease system that is stench in the nostrils of all Georgia to be palatable so near the Ohio river. The law, should be abolished at once. It is a greedy in a capsule—Exchange and rectangle from a bolt of cloth. When the New York millionaire invaded the Ashville district a decade ago the old man's sparse acres were included in the big tract of land that was to the site of Biltmore. But Collins appeared to indifferent about selling his estate." He flirted with the Vanderbilt millions for some time, expecting at let to get a fabulous price for the few were tract that wedged itself into the topography of Biltmore. Vanderbilt's agent made several orders for the Collins property, price in the shop to suit the occasion, until at last negotiations were cut off by order the millionaire himself. The real reason Collins has changed the mind and determined to dispose of the neglected land that projects itself to cover the entire copy of Biltmore is SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 20. 1902. because of the disinheritance of tax Negroes in North Carolina. He has his own opinion about such matters, but thinks that state a rather unhealthy climate in which to promulgate them. He pays an annual tax of $30 on his "cateate" and opines that this face should entitle him to the right of franchise. Thus even though money could not induce him to move, the love of liberty can. The old man puts manhood rights above money and is a good example to the new apostle of "everything for wealth and prosperity." Hats off to one southerner (colored) not gone mad rushing into the hole the whites are digging for them.—Courant. ```markdown ``` A Model Community. Any lover of humanity, and especially of the Negro race, would be well pleased and compensated to the fullest extent, could he have the pleasure of visiting the community that is situated about three and one half miles north of Eastman, Ga. It was the writer's pleasure on last Sunday to visit this settlement and he was agreeably surprised to meet so many intelligent, progressive and well-do farmers. Nearly every one who lives in this community are colored and own their farms. Those who do not own farms are buying, and if they continue to exercise commonsense as they are doing now, it will only be a question of time before they will be landlords like their more fortunate neighbors. Many of them own from 50 to 300 acres of well cultivated land and are making rapid advances up the financial ladder. These good American citizens have a progressive little church, and after tolling six days in the wok, they spend the Sabbath in Sunday school and in church, praising their great Master. Rev. Carlo Griffin is their spiritual shepherd. He is exerting himself in every way that is right and many to mould sentiment for good. ```markdown ``` Has the Republican Party Deserted the Negro. The New York Evening-Post (Ind.) says: "Why are Crumpacker, Grosvenor, Chandler, et al. silent over the political ostracism of colored citizens by republican organizations in the southern states?" When the democrats in that section were framing election turnstiles that would bar illiterate Negroes, while admitting ignorant whites, no political penalty was deemed too severe by the northern champions of Negro rights; but when white republicans in Alabama and North Carolina are denying representation in party conventions to the saving remnant of the colored vote—the educated and property-owning Negro electorate, which not democratic malice and ingenuity could distranchise—not a protest is uttered by the republicans of the north. Their silence needs explanation. They have not the selfish motive of their brethren of the south, who are substituting a white republican organization for the lost Negro vote as a basis for federal patronage; and the only logical conclusion is that they have jettisoned the Negro vote in their pursuit of the ignis fatus of a white man's party in the south. To find a republican virtue in a democratic sin is evidently no wrench to a certain kind of political conscience."—Exchange. . . . . . Jim Crow Laws Black-Eyed. Jim Crow Laws Black-Eyed. The "Jim Crow" separate car law in Louisiana has received a black eye. The police of New Orleans swore out warrants against the street car officials for not enforcing the law as to separate seats for whites and blacks. The officers of the road held in court that the separate compartments set aside — sometimes by a screen, but more frequently by a rope suspended from the ped his nape, floor of the car — for the from the house, widened, on the one hand, confirmed the stair, the Negroes, and on thought it queried all too inadequate accl or the widow and the whites. The reckon Wright said most every car—and morning and late afternoon hours traffic is heaviest—the whites are compelled to stand in the aisles, hanging on as best they can to straps, or to remain outside the door on the platforms, where they are frequently packed so densely that one enters or leaves the car with considerable difficulty, and the car with considerable difficulty, and frequently the seats to be used by Negroes are not all occupied, and on some of the cars are quite empty." Judge Ancien dismissed the charges of violations of the law preferred against the road officials by the police, and sent the case up to the supreme court of the state on a demurre. This will possibly put an end to the matter, and it ma yalso put an end to rustle legislators making laws for the city about which they know nothing. It is further held that the conductors could not decide half the time who were white and who colored among the passengers, owing to the large mole population, which is so very light in color. So the law has thus been dled out of the way by the local court as unconstitutional. FIRST BLOOD DRAWN Britons and Germans Bombard Venzuelan Fort. CASTRO NOW SHOUTS DEFIANCE Flatly Refuses to Accept Ultimatums. News of Bombardment Excites Washington Offcials—Moans Flagrant War. A special of Saturday from Caracas says: President Castro and the Veneza zuelan government have flatly refused to accept the ultimatums of Germany and Great Britain. His defiance means war. A special from Puerto Cabello, Venozuela, under date of December 13th stated the British cruiser Charybds and the German cruiser Vineta bombarded the fortress there at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon and quickly silenced it. The borbardment lasted forty-five minutes. The fortress is composed of Fort Solano and the Castle Libertador. After the firing ceased, the Charybds sent marines to occupy the castle. The fortress was almost demolished. Three persons killed by the shelling. At 7 o'clock Saturday morning the Charybdis and Vineta arrived there, searching for Venezuelan gunboats. The two cruisers sent their boats into the inner port, but finding no gunboats the boats were returned. The captain of the British merchant steamer Topaz, which was seized by the mob last Wednesday, then visited the British commodore, on board the Charybdis, and lodged a protest against the violation of his ship. The British captain returned an hour later with a detachment of fifty marines, who took charge of the Topaze. The populace was greatly excited at this incident and raised the cry, "To arm!" but there was no disorder. The British commodore then sent a message to the authorities at Puerto Cabello, demanding immediate satisfaction for the action of the mob in having hauled down the British flag from the Topazo, saying that if this satisfaction was not forthcoming in two hours, at 5 o'clock, the fortress and the custom house would be bombarded. At a quarter before 5 a reply was received from President Castro, who authorized the chief official to give the British commodore ample satisfaction. Before this answer could be communicated to the American consul the hour stipulated for its receipt had arrived; the cruisers immediately opened fire on the fortress. The fire was returned from Fort Solano and Castle Libertador, but the Venezuelan guns were soon silenced. While the firing continued there was intense excitement. Every house in town was closed. The News in Washington. Minister Bowen, in a dispatch received by the state department Sunday afternoon, cabled that he had been informed by President Castro that British and German warships were bombarding Puerto Cabelio. In an earlier dispatch, received by the state department at 3:22 o'clock Sunday morning, Minister Bowen said that the situation at the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, was much quieter. The great excitement noted at the outset of the affair, he said, was caused by the precipitate flight of the British and German ministers, the arrest of all the subjects of those two nations and the seizure of the Venezuelan gunboat without first declaring a blockade, thus causing the people to fear a bombardment would follow at once. The act of bombardment means flagrant war, even if the forts at Puerto Cabello had not returned the fire. Great Britain and Germany have thus given plain notice to the United States that there is war, and probably fired on the fortifications at Puerto Cabello to provoke it. It is not conceivable how Germany can now justify her original intimation that it was proposed to establish a peaceful blockade. SOUTH AMERICAN'S AROUSED.

Belicose Blockade of the Powers Will Not be Respected. OMINOUS WARNING IS GIVEN Any Attempt to Stop Yankee Ships in Venezuelan Waters Will Bring Trouble—Italy Joins Castro's Foes. A Washington special of Monday says: Minister Bowen has confirmed the press reports that the guns of the allied fleet which bombarded Puerto Cabello Sunday were directed entirely at the fortifications and not at the town. Regrettable as it was, the statement relieves the affair of the first suspicion that it constituted a violation of international law in the fact that twenty-four hours' notice was not served of the bombardment. The requirements as to notice applies to unfortified or fortified towns where the fire must be directed upon the inhabitants, and this was not the case at Puerto Cabello, so that while the officials here regret that the firing took place, they have as yet no cause to protest. But it is not probable that the United States will break its attitude of inactivity in the event an attempt is made to enforce the "peaceful blockade" toward an American ship. When the allies were considering the ways and means of bringing Venezuela to terms and a blockade of this character had been decided upon, the German government informed the United States that -when the blockade was established it would turn back all shipping, though no effort would be made to seize the ships. The United States made no response to this statement at the time (last year), not feeling called on to do so before the presentation of an actual case. But now the blockade is sought to be established Secretary Hay has informed the German government that American ships should not be interfered with, except the inhibition applies to all shipping, and further, the note intimates a disapproval of stoppage at all. With regular lines of American steamers entering Venezuela at short intervals, a test case may soon follow. It is within the legal right of the allies to close these ports, but probably this can be accomplished without protest on our part only after a formal declaration of war. The hope is growing in Washington that such a declaration can, after all, be averted, owing to the energy with which Mr. Bowen acted. The proposal of President Castro to the allied parties for a peaceful settlement was suggested by Mr. Bowen, and it came to the state department through his hands. It has been forwarded to London and Berlin through the Washington embassies, and as both Great Britain and Germany have hitherto professed a desire to settle the issue peaceably, it is hoped that they will avail themselves of this opportunity. Mr. Bowen having asked permission to endeavor to settle the matter by arbitration, Secretary Hay not only promptly accorded the permission, but went to the length of himself dispatching the proposal, which, up to that point, had lean rather vague and informal, to the British and German governments. Among senators and representatives who have discussed the Venezuelan matter with President Roosevelt, the situation is regarded as serious, but it is not generally believed to be likely that the United States will become involved in the controversy. Dagoes Take a Hand. The foreign office at Berlin has informed the Associated Press that Italy will participate in the blockade by agreement with the allies and that a portion of the coast will be assigned to the Italian ships. The proceedings against Venezuela thus becomes in every respect tripartite. LIST OF NOMINATIONS. Sent in to Senate by President Roosevelt Monday. The president sent the following nominations to the senate Tuesday: Lloyd C. Griscom, Pennsylvania, minister to Japan; Richmond Pearson, North Carolina, minister to Persia; W. H. Northrun, to be United States marshal of northern district of Florida. Richmond Pearson having accepted the post of minister to Persia, W. H. Bishop has been appointed to succeed him as consul general at Genoa. Mr. Bishop is professor of modern law studied at Yale. NO 11 HAY TRIES ANOTHER NOTE. For Second Time Powers are. Asked to Arbitrate—Venezuelan Affairs Discussed in Senate. Failing to hear from Europe as to Mr. Bowen's proposal to arbitrate the Venezuelan troubles, Secretary Hay Tuesday addressed cablegrams to the ambassadors at London, Berlin and Rome, instructing them to call the matter again to the attention of the governments to which they are accredited, with a view to securing an early expression of opinion from them. Italian participation in the Anglo-German action against Venezuela produces an effect here not anti-American, but one of self-satisfaction and pride at taking a part in what is considered the first break in the Monroe doctrine, says The New York Tribune's Rome correspondent. Parliament and the public press, without distinction of party, which is very strange in Italy, approves the action of the minister of foreign affairs. The Italian ambassador Tuesday called at the state department and told Secretary Hay that Italy had joined the allies against Venezuela. He requested that Mr. Bowen assume charge of the Italian interests in Venezuela, and the secretary granted this request, subject to the approval of Venezuela. Italy enters the combination on the same plane as to abstention from territorial seizures as Germany and Great Britain. Senate Discusses Affair. The Venezuelan question occupied the attention of the senate in executive session Tuesday for almost an hour. The question came up informally almost immediately after the house was excluded. Senator Teller, disclaiming all invention of being critical and saying he merely desired information, asked Senator Cullom, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, what information he possessed as to the Venezuelan affairs. Mr. Teller in inquiring said that the situation is such that senators felt that the Monroe doctrine might become involved if the complication should continue. Senator Cullom replied to the inquiry that he had no knowledge of recent events not contained in the public prints Messrs. Bacon, Hoar, Lodge and Stewart all made remarks. In none of the addresses was anything harsh or critical said. There was a general agreement that while the means adopted by Great Britain and Germany for the collection of their debts had been quite strenuous, they thus far had committed no infringement of the Monroe doctrine and therefore had done nothing to which the United States could take exception. GEORGIA COURT PUZZLED. Supreme Tribunal of State, Confronted by Knotty Problem. There is now pending before the supreme court of Georgia one of the most important questions ever brought before that tribunal, a question that will affect every town and city in the state. Owing to the importance of the case, the court has ordered it rearguard before the six justices and in addition to the reargument the court has invited all lawyers who are interested in the question to file briefs in the case. The question relates to the issue of bonds; whether the interest and the principal are considered the bonded debt of a town or whether the principal alone shall be considered. The case was brought up from the city of Calhoun, in Gordon county, on a suit filed by Aaron Roff, a citizen of that town. The city authorities sought to issue $5,000 in bonds for school purposes and when an attempt was made to validate them in the superior court as is required by law, Roff filed a protest on the ground that the issue was unconstitutional, as Calhoun had already a bonded indebtedness, which was equal to more than seven per centum of the assessed value of the property as required by the constitution of the state. The superior court judge decided to validate the bonds, however, and the attorneys for Roff carried the case to the supreme court. It was argued in October, but so far the justices' have not been able to reach a conclusion and have decided to have a reargument. BY ONLY DOZEN INCHES.

THE TRIBUNE deplores the boisterous manner in which Christmas day is celebrated in this city. The thoughts of "peace, good will on earth," are completely destroyed by contrary actions. The birthday of our Savior should not be celebrated in such a manner. HARVARD's base ball team has given the University of Virginia a much needed rebuke. Harvard has a crack base, ball player in the person of a colored young man and for this reason the University team refused to meet them. Harvard will soon make a southern tour but has "cut" Virginia out. BEFORE and at the last Republican National Convention, Senator Pritchard was a strong opponent of the reducing of the southern representation in that convention. He is now an advocate of that plan and has publicly expressed himself in that manner. Pritchard's recent action in party matters has caused him to become billious and he is now liable to say most anything. THE thousands of persons that throng Broughton street on Christmas eve night is one of the sights of the city. Many of them join in good natured sport which is not resented because of the occasion, but many others, especially a certain class of half grown white boys who act viciously by assaulting inoffensive persons. The police should look out for this class of offenders and see that they keep within the bounds of the law. 3 BEFORE our next issue, "Merry Christmas" will have come and gone. This is one of the seasons that we should endeavor to spread good will and happiness. The less fortunate ones among us should be caused to share in the good cheer, and everybody made to feel better for the day that is to be celebrated. The thoughts of that dear. One whose nativity is to be honored should pervade every breast and action therefrom should be the result. SOME weeks ago President Roosevelt sent out a stirring letter favorable to our people. He was followed by x President Grover Cleveland who advocated his liberal education and treatment accordingly. Now comes the hero of the Merrimac in Santiago harbor, Capt. Hobson, who in a speech during the week commended the colored man for his bravery. And there are many more who are speaking out in "meeting" and giving justice where it is due. We feel proud of the fact that amidst all of the advantages taken and mean things said of our people, that there are great men like the ones mentioned above, who have the stamina to rise above them all and give the black man c edit for what he has and is doing, and at the same time advocating a more liberal treatment of him Thoughts Applicable to This Day. On Sunday night last Rev. T. B. Lallard, pastor of the First Congregational church delivered a very thoughtful sermon on the book of Ruth. The subject was not only thoughtful, but also practical. He brought out parallels with events of to-day. Space cause us to give only a few of his excellent thoughts. He said: "Ruth is 'the story of the short annals of the poor,' occurring in the time of the Judges. It was written five hundred years later, perhaps when the Jews had returned from slavery in Babylon." After giving an account of the sojourning in that country he continued: rusalem had inter-married with the surrounding nations. Those who first returned at once protested against this saying under no circumstances should they mix but after a while when they knew the surrounding nations better, they too yielded to the same influences, there were always some who opposed this intermarrying, but at the Jews advanced became more liberal, there was always more or less inter-marrying and among the high and educated classes. The whole weight of the Ezra party, his pen and his intellect was thrown into the breach to prevent this growing liberal spirit. One has but to turn to the books of Nehemiah and Ezra and read to see race discourses, race legislation and provincial narrowness much a kin to that of our day in the south; and this is but natural, the early history of all people as they struggle upward is marked by narrowness and prejudice. The one great struggle of the human race as a whole is from darkness to light, from conservatism to liberalism, from provincialism to cosmopolitanism and in the thought of Paul from tribal legalism to Christian freedom and liberty. "Let us notice a bit of this narrow legislation : Dent. 23:3 'An Amorite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah, even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of Jehovah forever, because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt and because they hired Balaam to curse them.' Seek not their peace and prosperity forever. Unto the tenth generation then a Moabit, could not be let into the citizenship of Israel, no matter how good his character, no matter how upright and honest or how fitted he was, he was barred by accident of birth or other superficial incident over which he had no control. "They were not so unjust to the Edomite or Egyptian. Deut. 23:7. Thou shalt not aboran an Edomite; for he is thy brother; thou shalt not aboran an Egyptian; because thou wast a sojourner in his land. The children of the third generation that are born unto them shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah. The Edomite a brother, the Egyptian a benefactor, the Edomite a native, the Egyptian a foreigner, but both admitted to the citizenship as soon as enough time had passed to naturalize them, as soon as they had prepared themselves for that citizenship. "It was during this state of feeling against the Moabite, when he was cut off from all that was worth living for, when all aspiration for great endeavor was stifled by these narrow prejudices, by unjust legislation, it was at this time that the inspiration came to some one to write the book of Ruth, that will always have a message to those discriminated against and a rebuke to the narrow provincial spirit of every age and country. "When Ruth, the Moahitess, in the words of our text, took the oath of allegiance, pleading fealty and life and when Boaz recognizing her sincerity and her fitness, granted to her the full citizenship of Israel's commonwealth, there was actually put in practice the greatest fundamental fact of the common life of humanity, MEN are brothers and only from quality not from race nor from condition, but from character. Superficial marks are no bar to manhood and womanhood, nor are they a bar to citizenship. The message from this is that who ever has character, ability, fitness no matter what his race or condition may be, is entitled to recognition, and reward on the basis of his fitness and character. This is what the book of Ruth would teach, not only those zealous Jews but also every people and nation who are Jews in narrowness and prejudice. "The book of Jonah brings us the self same message but in a different way. Once upon a time there was nobody but a Jew. He was the favored man, he was chosen of God, he felt that he would be saved and that the heathen must be lost. This is the way Jonah felt when the Lord commanded him to go and preach to the Ninevites: to the Jews they were heathen and entitled to no consideration, no efforts should be made to save them, so Jonah did not wish to go and labor for the heathen, he refused to obey. God did not think this way. He meant for the Ninevites to be saved, he wished for the heathen to be saved as well as the Christian, in short he wants all to be saved and wants an effort made to save them; and so through the instrumentality of the great fish Jonah was made to go and preach to those whom he wished lost. They repented in sack cloth and ashes, the Lord did not destroy them and Jonah was quite displeased because God did not destroy them but saved them. The eighth and ninth chapter of Romans bear this same message approached from still another view. In these chapters Paul tells the Jews that it was unsafe to think they would be saved simply because they were the seed of Abraham, that birth and lineage were no royal roads to preferment or salvation, that what your parents were or to what race you belonged counted nothing, but that stolid characters were the passports into all the privileges and enjoyments of life. "Robert Burns brings the same thought to us "A man's a man for a that." Let his raiment be home-spun, camel's hair or royal purple let him, be Jew or Gentile, Egyptian or Syrian, bond or free, if he has counselor and affection if he does the works of Abraham he is a-son of Abraham entitled to all the rights and privileges, and the inheritances of his father. "The message of our chief executive a few days ago to the South was the same: I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope, the door of opportunity is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color. Such an attitude would according to my convictions be fundamentally wrong." These words must have been born in a moment of inspiration, for as, the books of Ruth and Jonah must have carried hope and encouragement to their readers, so the utterances of this prophet of civic righteousness gave vigor, hope, enthusiasm and new life to ten millions of our fellow citizens; and when another canen of inspired sayings and teachings is to be collected, none shall be more worthy to enter it than this. As a protest against the injustice of race antipathy and provincialism, his sayings on this subject will rank along side those of the author of Ruth. If God, through the author of Ruth spoke to the narrowness of that day, in the same way through to this prophet of humanity, he speaks to the antipathy and prejudice of our day. "We will notice further that Boaz considered the worth of Ruth as ample ground for gratting her the rights, privileges and immunities of citizenship. In Ruth 3:11, 'I will do to thou all thou sayest; for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a worthy woman.' 'A worthy woman who can find? for her price is far above rubies;' but here is one, a foreigner, a Moabitess of hated race and she is admitted into the congregation of the assembly "There are thousands of our people to day who are not foreigners but who are decidedly worthy, as is well-known, not only by city but by the nation and the world. We are glad that the disposition to judge a man for his worth is growing in this country, that the question is becoming more and more a question of ability and justice; for it is prophetic that some day simple justice will be meted to some of the South's most loyal sons. "A good portion of our loyal citizens have rendered valuable service to their country. In every hour of trial and conflict, their fidelity, loyalty, patriotism and bravery have not been lacking in times of peace. There industry and application for self and useful citizenship have been manifested in marked degree. Ruth was rewarded for faithful service—it is in the heart of man ultimately to reward all for faithful service. "Lastly, the message of the book of Ruth, the teaching of the book of Jonah, the lessons 8th, and 9th. of Romans, the plebian song of Burns, the humane position of Roosevelt are all conclusive answers and manly rebukes to the unfair spirit represented by "The Leopard's Spot." Further still, the testimony of ex-President Cleveland, one of the strongest personalities now living, is an overwhelming answer to that not broad spirit that says, a portion of mankind cannot rise to civilization. "I am convinced that good citizenship and orderly contented life, and a proper conception of life's virtue and obligations are almost certain to grow out of fair chance to earn an honest hopeful livelihood and a satisfied cause of protection and considerate treatment." It is not for social equality that the common man asks, it is not for political domination that he yearns and hopes but simply for a fair and equal chance to earn an honest living, a fair chance to have a home, a fair chance to protect it and to educate his children and be happy. "Finally we will notice the results coming from the liberal treatment of Ruth by Boaz. To Ruth and Boaz was born Obad, Obad was the father of David and from David came Jacob and from Jacob came Joseph, the husband of Mary, both of whom were parents of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Nor is Ruth the only foreigner who enters directly into the ancestry of Jesus—Rahab, the Cananite, the mother of Boz, was also a foreigner. The lesson However is this, that by judging men on their merit, granting them all the privileges and opportunities of our commonwealth, rewarding them for their service; will not only grow strong men who will save the race, but who will make their impress on the age in which they live." Purse on Whiskey. I want to give one word of warning to the readers of THE TRIBUNE before I go into Xmas quarters: Don't waste all your money during Xmas week, you may need some of it later on. I am not talking about buying homes; I have left that subject, but if I had drunk whiskey as some people do, Mrs. Homer would not today be playing her own piano in her own home. My people drink too much whiskey. Give me all the money they spend for whiskey one year in the city of Savannah, and I can build school houses, churches, reformatories, hospitals and public libraries. Whiskey makes the seller rich; the purchaser; poor. It devitalizes the blood, inflames the stomach, deranges the nerves, numbs the liver, overt xes the heart, irritates the brain, mortgages homes, squanders fortunes, increases number of widows and orphans, multiplies wife beaters, increases our changang population, wrecks character, brutalizes man who is made in the image of God. There are thousands of colored men in Savannah to-day who would have homes of their own if they would have less rum. Do the ministers ever preach against rum drinking? I hope they do, though I have never heard one sermon against intemperance since I have been here, practically all my life. Preachers, tell the people, some of your members drink—to stop drinking whiskey and buy homes; go into business, stop making other people rich. Next week I shall talk about Negro literature. —Purse F. Homer. St. Philip's Dots. Rev. John Capps preached Sunday morning. It is very seldom that Rev. Capps preaches, but he is a very good speaker and always, interests his congregation. He is a plair and practical speaker. Text was Gen. 27:12, subject "Deception." At 8 p. m., Rev Capps also delivered an instructive sermon, from Heb. 1:2, subject, "Contending for the Prize." Sunday school and Christian Endeavor were well attended. Contrary to expectation the members of St. Philips are very much disappointed in the action of the Georgia Conference and Bishop Turner in removing Rev. Cargile at this time and our members are very sore over the matter; the limit is four years, and this was his third year. That grand report is what did it; it was ahead of everything in the Conference. Rev. Cargile will be pastor of Big Bethel of Atlanta, and Rev. Dr. Newton, pastor of Big Bethel will pastor St. Philips. Rev. Cargile will continue the pastorate of St. Philips until about the 20th of December, at which time he is to leave for his new field of labor and Rev Newton will take charge here. Rev. Cargile will preach to-morrow morning and evening. You had better come out early and get a good seat as these may be the last times you may ever hear him. All friends are cordially invited to be present. From the looks of our official brethren on Sunday they all must have been in attendance upon the conference; very few were out. We hope you can give us all the details from the conference. There was quite an interesting literary exercise held by the Y. M. C. A. at St. Philips on Wednesday evening. We hope great good may be derived from this association. The young men who roam our streets may become interested and make it a giant in Christianity. Second Baptist Church. Second Baptist Church.

At 8 p. m., the pastor preached from Roman 12:11, subject, "The business side of Religion." At this service, Messrs W. S. Scott, E. E. DesVerney, A L. Tucker, W. R. Fields, J. H. Rogers, and P. Edward Perry were present and made short addresses on the necessity of the race conducti-g business enterprises. The addresses were practical and to the point and will not fail to do good. The Sunday school is making elaborate preparations for the Christmas exercises. The church will begin to celebrate its centennial Jan. 5th, 1903. Programme later.

St Philips on Charles Street, under the faithful pastorate of Rev. C. C. Cargile, D. D., led the state. Rev. R. H. Singleton, the affable pastor of St Philips Monumental Church, was the efficient secretary of the conference. He was returned to his charge to continue the excellent work he has nobly accomplished. His friends-congratulate him on his return. There is much regret expressed in the failure of returning Rev. Cargile. Everybody was sanguine of his return, but when the opposite was found out, there was much regret expressed. During his pastorate here he has gained hosts of friends and endeared himself to the members of his church. He labored faithfully for the paying off of the indebtedness of the church and succeeded in doing so. He is now in charge of Big Bethel in Atlanta. While we regret his going, yet congratulate him for the honorable charge he has. In going from here he carries with him nothing but the best wishes of the citizens.

Bolton Street Church. On last Sunday Rev. T. M. Williamson, B. D., the popular, faithful and energetic pastor of the F A. B. Church, West Broad street, preached an interesting sermon in the morning. The communion and Sunday School services were well attended, and at night Rev. Williamson preached on the "Beauty of obedience." Both sermons were profoundly eloquent and replete in logic, which stimulated thought and gave spiritual vision to the vast congregation. Rev. Williamson is a power in the pulpit, faithful in the discharge of his parishional duties, and his members have great cause to be proud of him. Since he assumed the pastorate of this church, every plan that he has put on foot for the spiritual and financial good of his church, has proven a complete success. In his recent church fair at Harris street hall, his members worked so faithfully that he paid them a very high compliment at the close of the evening service on last Sunday. Rev. Williamson keeps before his people the necessity of a new church edifice, and the people are working faithfully and mean to see to it that the proposed new church is a reality in a few months. On to marrow morning Rev. Williamson will preach on "The indestructibility of the kingdom of Christ." At night his subject will be "The reign of the King of Glory."

He docs business, but he zQdéso't mean business. He is not eager for the “joy of achievement.” "He throws his‘ heart into the play on “the ball field rather than into the work “atthe office.
