Beacon Lights FOR NEGROES
Headed by G. G.. Alexander, pastor of the Cotton Avenue A. M. E.' colored, church, a committee of the Emancipation Association, of Macon, Ga., called on Judge Emory Speer in chambers in the United States court to express an appreciation of the colored people of Macon for his presentation of the race at Buffalo, where he spoke a few weeks ago. Rev. Alexander presented the following resolutions:
"Whereas, in his great-speech before the Independent Club on the 19th day of December, 1902, Judge Emory Speer, of our city, gave utterance to sentiments for the weal of all the people of our country, and in particular of the colored race, which has attracted the attention of the entire country: Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Emancipation Association of Macon tender thanks to Judge Speer for his advocacy of the enactment of impartial laws for white and black alike, which will admit to the franchise the intelligent, upright and responsible of both races, and exclude the ignorant and the worthless.
"Resolved, That the above sentiment of the great orator is akin to that fairness which has ever been given to the unfortunate of our race when arraigned in Judge Speer's court.
"Resolved, That a committee of nine be appointed to tender in person to Judge Speer a copy of these resolutions."
After the resolutions were read, Judge Speer said:
"It gives me sincere pleasure to receive and to cordially thank you and your committee for these kindly resolutions from the large association of the people you represent.
"I especially value the assurance that the colored people know they obtain justice in the courts where I have the honor to be one of the judges. This is in very large part ascribable to the high-minded citizenship which makes up the jury body here. In my long judicial service I have never been called upon to set aside a verdict because of its injustice to a colored man. This is a fact of great significance. It demonstrates clearly that the southern gentlemen of whom these juries are typical are among the best friends of our colored people. After all the greatest of early concerns is the administration of justice. This being made secure we can await with composure the solving of all other problems, by the long process of time, under the directing Providence of the Almighty."
Major Wright Speaks.
Mai, R.' R. Wright was next introduced. He said: "The man who can not see in all the progress made by the Negroes in this country since the emancipation hope for race, I think, is very blind indeed. America spells opportunity for the Negro. I am told that the old posts and landmarks of Penn and Lord Baltimore, known as the Mason and Dixon line, which represented the division line between freedom and slavery, have of late been put to better purposes. It has been discovered that they are used as corner stones for churches and school houses.
"Thus the old landmarks of slavery are being used as foundation stones for the erection of those institutes of Christian civilization of the day. There is now practically an open door for all men. But the Negro must remember that he cannot open this door upon any other terms than those on which other nations enter them. The Negro must pay the same price which other nations pay. He cannot pitch his aspirations low and expect to reap high. "Once fix it on the minds of the people, that they cannot rise and they will not rise, in spite of all the force which are pressing them to the front.
"The Negro has in his favor at least two great forces outside of his own personality. He has the great world-tendency to move human sympathy, fostered and forwarded by that leading principal of Christianity—the golden rule. He has also that other great agency, the commercial interest of the world which would help the peace and advance to the front every man or nation that has the ability to do something."—Birmingham Herald.
Dabney, the Negro Hero.
Since writing the above I have seen a short article about Dabney in the augusta Chronicle, from Mrs. T. M. Green, of Wilkes county. It seems, however, to be simply a repetition of some statements to be found in Rev. Dr. George White's boon, "Historical Collection of Georgia," where a page and a half (584-585) are devoted to a somewhat glowing account of Dabney and his war record and subsequent

career. He is reported to have been granted land by the state in Walton county and a pension by the United States, and to have become a man of means and influence, although a Negro. He was a mulatto, and Gov. Glimer, who gives the accounts copied into "White "Collections," claims that he was not a slave, although so considered. It is evident, however, that when he enlisted in the army, in his supposed owner's place, he considered himself a slave. If Gov. Glimer's story is true, Dabney was a most remarkable character and quite popular with eminent white men of Georgia during his lifetime. But I am inclined to think the governor's story, like that of Nancy Hart, is rather too flowery to be taken as history.—Ex.
Since President R. R. Wright, of the Georgia college resurrected Dabner, there has been much said about him. He seems to deserve it.

Negro Wealth In Georgia.
Negro' wealth in Georgia exceeds that of the Negro in any other state according to an article of the Atlanta Journal which reads thus: "Negro property in Georgia has' decreased $441,742 in values this year. 'The consolidated statement of the value or all Negro property in the state was completed today by Capt. 'Tip' Harrison, of the tax department of the controller's office.
"The cause for the decrease is said to be the poor condition of the crops in the various sections of the state where the Negroes own property.
"The consolidated returns show that there are six Negro lawyers, 54 doctors and seven dentists in the state. The number of Negroes who have made returns for poll tax is 117,374. The number of acres of land owned by Negroes Is 1,752,291; the value of this land is returned at $14,779,263; the value of the jewelry owned by the Negroes $26,366; the total value of all the property is $15,188,069; the value of the property last year amounted to $15,629,811. It is stated that the Negroes in Georgia own more property than the Negroes in any other state."
The above is a fine showing the Negro has made toward lifting himself upon a self-sustaining basis. It further shows the excellence of opportunities and possibilities accorded the self-respecting Negro in the south to live, follow industrial pursuits, accumulate and educate his child without fear at the peril of his life. To be industrious, honest and law-abiding, "availeth much"—the respect and encouragement of all good citizens.
Let the Negro in Georgia feel encouraged at such a glorious result in this line of development, and let him do more and as well in other things and say less and won't be long before he will be a self-sustaining people. Southern Outlook

The Black Glant.
The Troy (N. Y.) Daily Press draws a very gloomy picture of the probable course which the black giant may take in some period of the future, when his tormentors have goaded-hmi to desperation. The conclusion is a logical one, if the analogies of history are to serve as a criterion, for wrong and oppression and insolence of one race against another occupying the same habits have invariably bred reprisals, or attempted reprisals, more or less sanctuary and horrible, three instances of much magnitude having occurred in the progress" of American slavery. The picture of which the Troy Press draws of what may be reminds us of the last stanza of Longfellow's powerful poem, "The Warning," as follows: There is a poor, blind Sampson in this land, Shqrn of his strength, and bound in bonds of steel.
Who may, in some grim revel, raise his hand. And shake the pillars of this Commonwealth.
nowhere
Till the Temple of our liberties
a shapeless mass of wreck and rubble
But analogies do not always hold good in history or other relations of life. The black giant in this country has been an exception to the rule of alien ethnic minority forces in the same environment. There have been no clashes that reached the dignity of rebellion or insurrection of historical moment. There have been uprisings. The Afro-American people have been and are being absorbed into the warp and woot of American life and thought and effort by the slow processes of evolution, which is a natural result with people occupying the same habitat, speaking a common language and professing a common religion. We have reached a stage in this evolution where there is nothing to distinguish an Afro-American except the complexion and the hair; and these are ceasing to be as noticeable, in the northern and western states, as they were once, and are becoming less so every day; a like result will begin, to manifest itself, in the southern states in the course of time.
We have no fears in this matter. Time, education and changes in social and material conditions are already
wrought marvels not dreamed of by Bob Toombs on the one hand, and William Lloyd Garrison on the other, and no prophet can tell what happy results the middle of the present century will witness, toward the final settlement of our vexed race problems, domestic and insular.—New York Age.
BOSTON NEGRO SLATED.
President Orders that W. H. Lewis be Appointed Assistant United States District Attorney.
President Roosevelt has determined it shall not be charged against him that he lacks the courage of his convictions. He has followed up his appointment of Crum at Charleston with the announcement that he has decided to appoint as assistant United States district attorney at Boston a negro attorney named William H. Lewis.
It is stated in the white house announcement that Lewis is so light in color his negro ancestry is seldom known outside of his intimate friends. It is asserted, further, that Lewis is a Harvard graduate and was once center rush of the football team of that institution, going through Harvard without any particular manifestation of hostility on the part of the white students. The position of assistant United States attorney is not literally within the power of the president to fill, as assistants are presumed to be named by the district attorneys themselves, but the president directed that the appointment shall be made to meet the criticism that no negroes are appointed to office in the north. It is further intimated at the white house that, the president has in mind other appointments of negroes to positions in the north.
Senator Tillman was notified Monday by the chairman of the senate committee on commerce—Senator Frye—that the nomination of Dr. Crum for collector of the port of Charleston will be taken up for consideration Thursday, the 22d instant. Immediately upon being thus notified, Senator Tillman opened telegraphic communication with Mayor Smyth, at Charleston, and others who are opposed to the confirmation of Crum. Senator Tillman says he is prepared to make a hot fight against the confirmation.
The New York Herald follows up its first Crum editorial with another one Monday in which that paper demands that Cram's name be withdrawn and that the Indianola postoffice be opened. In this connection it developed that The Herald no longer runs at the top of its editorial column its Roosevelt, for president and Dowey for vice president ticket. This has been dropped. No word of explanation is given, but the fact that this action follows immediately upon the heels of the criticism of the president's southern policy is regarded by politicians in Washington as significant of lukewarmness toward, if not opposition to the administration. It is certain that such a step would not have been taken except under orders from Commodore James Gordon Bennett, president of The Herald, who directs the policy of his-paper through daily cables from Paris.
METHODISTS COME TOGETHER.
Representatives of Northern and Southern Churches in Conference. The first meeting of the joint comision of the Methodist Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal church, north and the Methodist Episcopal church, south, to consider the adoption of a common hymnal, was held in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday afternoon. The two branches of the commission held separate sessions during the morning for the purpose of exchanging views and agreeing upon the policies to be urged at the joint session.
The joint meeting was held behind closed doors and plans for future work were adopted. The work was'discussed and referred to separate committees, which will report to another joint session to be held some time during the year. The two hymnals contain about one thousand hymns each, and it will be the duty of the subcommittees to cull' the best from each and submit their work to the next joint convention. It is the consensus of opinion among the members of the commission that the new hymnal should contain from 750 to 1,000 hymns.

MUST HAVE THE COAL
Many Cities Lining Up for Fight on Full Combine.
FRIGHFUL SUFFERING ENDURED
Detriot "Get Coal" Convention to Meet In Washington—Tangible Evidence Secured by Special Grand Jury at Chicago.
Mayor W. C. Maybury, of Detroit, Mich., Tuesday, issued the call for the re-assembling of the Detroit "get coal" convention at Washington, January 27. It says:
"The executive committee of the "get coal" convention held in Detroit last October, met pursuant to call in Chicago, on Saturday, January 10th. It was the unanimous opinion of the committee that the Detroit convention should be re-assembled and its resolutions still further urged upon congress and the attorney general of the United States, as the most effective and only solution of the present coal evil.
"The re-assembling of the conference does not in any way interfere with, or anticipate the action and work of the commission on arbitration.
"I am directed by the committee to request all delegates to the former convention to assemble at convention hall, in the city of Washington on Tuesday, Jan. 27, at 11 a. m. of said day.
"All delegates sent with credentials by governors of states; mayors of cities or commercial bodies throughout the United States are invited to attend as members of the conference and to lend the wisdom of their counsel in this great emergency. To be an accredited member of this convention does not depend upon former credentials, but every man hearing credena's from the persons or bodies mentioned above is eligible to membership."
Evidence Found by Chicagoan.
Evidence Found by Chicagoan.
A Chicago special says: The most tangible evidence secured by the special grand jury in the coal shortage inquiry up to the present time is that which relates to an alleged agreement drawn in March last year, and which is said to govern a dozen mine operators in the Clinton, Ind., district, with Walter S. Bogle and the Crescent Coal and Mining company as the Chicago factor.
It is charged in the evidence presented that Mr. Bogle appears as president of one of the mining companies, making an agreement with himself as president of the Crescent Coal and Mining company.
It is said these mines were compelled to pool their outputs to be disposed of by the Chicago factor. In getting at the facts, the jury called before it Max Eichberg, of the Wabash Valley Coal company, and recalled Charles W. Glimore and Norman S. Birkland, officers of the Crescent company, who were before the jury for a time Monday.
A number of railroad men also were on hand when the jury began its work Tuesday, representing the Burlington, Wabash, Illinois Central, Monon and Michigan Central, and were called is as fast as their testimony could be heard. W. H. Abrams, of the Building Manager's association, was a witness and is said to have given valuable information concerning the maintenance of a room at regular intervals prior to the starting of the present investigation. He also declared that his association had found that dealers delayed deliveries of coal in good weather, and then pleaded that they were unable to deliver in rough weather, thus compelling building managers to consume their entire stock of coal on hand.
BANKS BEING MERGED.
Two Great New York Concerns Effect a Consolidaton.
The shareholders of the Western national bank of the city of New York, at a meeting Tuesday, adopted resolutions to carry into effect the proposed consolidation of the National Bank of the United States with the National Bank of the City of New York. The new bank will be known as the Western National Bank of the United States in New York City.
Cold In the South.
The cold wave which was central Monday in the Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys extended during the night to the Atlantic and 'gulf coast. Nashville, Chattanooga and Little Rock report a minimum temperature of 16 degrees, and Atlanta and Memphis 18. Freezing temperature was recorded at Tampa, the thermometer registering 32, Ice was reported in the surrounding country. Jacksonville reported 28 degrees. It is not believed that any damage was done, to the orange growers, as they are on the east coast and many miles south of Jacksonville. The lowest temperature in Louisiana was 8 above zero.
COAL REBATE MEASURE
Reported by the Ways and Means Committee of the House—To Be Effective for One Year.
A Washington special says: The ways and means committee of the house Tuesday decided to report a bill providing for a rebate, equal to the duty now imposed, on all kinds of coal coming from alb countries for a period of one year.
This bill is a substitute for the one introduced by Representative Hill, of Connecticut, which provides for a rebate until bill will be called up in thepected the bill will be called up in the house at once. The bill adopted provides:
"That the secretary of the treasury be, and he is hereby authorized and required to make full rebates of duties imposed by law on all coal of every form, and description, imported into the United States from foreign countries for the period of one year from and after the passage of this act."
Representative Richardson, of Tennessee, proposed an amendment striking out the words "for a period of one year," which was voted down. He then proposed an amendment placing all coal on the free list, which was likewise voted down. The final vote on the adoption of the bill was unanimous.
Representatives Payne, Dalzell and Grosvenor held a conference with the president Tuesday morning relative to the action which had been taken by the committee.
Soon after the senate met Tuesday Mr. Jones, of Nevada, favorably reported the resolution of Mr. Stewart authorizing the committee of the District of Columbia to send tor witnesses in connection with the coal investigation to administer oaths to compel the attendance of witnesses, if necessary. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. Dolliver, of Iowa, defended the orders of Secretary Shaw, which were issued last fall, and instructed collectors of customs to resolve all reasonable doubts in favor of the importer. When the house met Tuesday, on motion of Mr. Cushman, of Washington, the bill providing for a delegate in congress from Alaska was made a continuing order beginning on Wednesday, January 21st.
The house then went into committee of the whole and took up the consideration of the army appropriation bill. The bill carried $73,875,276, being $4,613,065 less than the current law, Mr. Hull, of Iowa, in charge of the measure, devoted some time to the resolution of the army transport service, arguing that the present service on the Pacific organized since the Spanish war, was the best in the world.
MORE COAL CONFISCATED.
Citizens of Bellevue, Ohio, Seize Eight Care of Anthropite.
The fuel situation in Bellevue, Ohio, Tuesday reached an acute stage and a conference of the mayor, councilmen and coal dealers was held. It was learned that there were eight cars of anthracite coal in the local yards of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad, and it was decided to confiscate the coal. The fire bell was rung, and the mayor and councilmen, followed by a small army of citizens, armed with shovels, marched to the railway yards and unloaded the cars in record breaking time. The mayor issuer orders with the village seal and the coal was distributed to citizens through local dealers at the rate of $$$.per ton.
A further search was made and several cars of coft coal were found and unloaded in like manner. About every wagon in town was pressed into service and the work of delivering the coal was kept up until midnight. During the raid there were many pitiable scenes of poor men and women pleading for some of the coal and the work of carrying it away in various kinds of receptacles followed.

BULLET FOR ALFONSO
Would-Be Assassin Tries His Hand as King Killer.
FIRED AT WRONG CARRIAGE
On Being Seized He Excused Himself by Saying Hla Intended Victim Was the Grand Chamberlain, and Not King.
A Special from Madrid, Spain, says: Ai King Alfonso, Dowager Queen Christina and the court were returning from church Saturday morning a man who afterwards gave his name as Felto, fired a pistol at one of the carriages in the royal procession. The bullet went wild and no one was injured. The king heard the shot and put his head out of the carriage window, but he was immediately dragged back into the seat by the queen mother. The escort of civil guards throw themselves upon the miscreant and overpowered him.
Felto was taken to the police station, where he said he did not desire to kill the king, but the grand chamberlain, the duke of Sotomayor, at whose carriage he had aimed. He was searched and in his pockets were found unmailed letters marked "registered" and addressed it to President Roosevelt, King Edward, the emperor of Germany and the president of the high court of justice of Mexico and also receipts for a number of registered letters and a visiting card of the mayor of Madrid.
Felto later was put under examination by a magistrate to whom he repeated his statement as to the object of the shooting. He insisted that he was not an anarchist and said that his wife, a French woman, had had him confined in a lunatic asylum. The prisoner, in making this statement, did not appear excited, but there are indications that he is insane.
COPS ARE QUESSING.
Club-Wielders Will Testify in Atlanta Police Board Investigation. The Atlanta council investigation of police affairs has thrown the members of the police force into a state of excitement since it has been announced that policemen will be called before the committee to tell what they know of anything naving gone wrong with police matters.
When the investigation was first begin the members of the force looked on, complacent and interested it was something unique and declared out of the ordinary run to see their bosses "tell on each other." Often, for these many years, they had seen their fellow officers on the rack before the police board. Time and again they had been made to "tell on each other;" but no where was two whole situation changed. It was striking, it was sort o' topsy-turvy, and highly entertaining. Then came the astounding news that policemen would be called upon to testify as witnesses before the council committee. It threw the rank and file into confusion and consternation. They lost their alignment—for, of course, they had lined up, as they always do when the board factions line up.
Not only did they claim that they knew nothing about how the board carried on its business, but they began to cogitate upon what the effect would be on a policeman who got up and told on the "bosses."

SATURDAY JANUARY 17, 1903.
Be something, especially a voter and by all means a property holder.
The new year began with great agitation about the Negro. It is hoped that the final result will be to his best interest.
And we must expect the Democrats to kick; that's all they are able to do. It is a weak man that pays any attention to them.
It is pleasing to note that for the past several years lynching has been on the decrease, yet there is enough being done to continue the blot of lawlessness.
WITHIN the past thirty days the professions have been increased by three recruits, one physician and two lawyers. Now the opening of another enterprise in the near future employing a number of our boys and girls, would be hailed with delight.
It is announced that a school census will soon be taken. We feel assured that when it is completed it will show a more deplorable state of affairs than at present. We now have over four thousand children who are not able to secure school facilities and the new school census will undoubtedly show a greater number.
THE Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Journal seems to think that affairs in Georgia are similar to reconstruction days, because it is necessary for appointees to office to get the endorsements of leaders of the Republican party. This correspondent and others are angry because they are not considered in this direction.
THE Democrats have been away so long from the national pie counter until they are hungry and lean. For this reason they would do mostly anything for a taste, hence their fight on appointees, especially in this section. They are audacious enough to attempt to dictate to the President whom he shall and shall not appoint to office.
THE Atlanta Constitution a few days ago had occasion to say that the elections in this state are pure. If the truth was ever perverted it was surely done in this case. The Constitution should look over its own files and note the reports of open vote buying at white primaries. In these cases white men were bribed, and thank God it could not be charged to the Negro because he is not allowed a vote.
The administration is to be commended for standing by Postmistress Cox of Indianola. It is determined that unless the officials of the town guarantee the safety of the postmistress, the office will not be reopened. Ofcourse a part of the citizens of Indianola want the office reopened with another postmaster, but the administration will not stand for this. The President is determined that the law shall be supreme and shall not be thwarted in any way.
SOMETIME ago a committee of citizena called upon the Board of Education concerning an increase in the school facilities of the city for colored children. The board had the petition referred to the committee on school -houses. This was three months ago, and the committee has not as yet reported, that is so far as the public is aware of. It would be well for this committee to continue urging this matter and if necessary call upon the chairman of this committee and request him to make a report.
Dr. Crum's Nomination.
"The President has chosen exactly the right moment to send to the Senate his long contemplated nomination of Dr. Crum to be Collector of the Port of Charleston. The persecution of the capable and respectable postmistress of Indianola, Miss., solely on account of color, has made an issue to be faced.
"The policy of appointing many Negroes to offices in the South is fairly debatable, but there can be no question about the soundness of the principle which holds a negro as eligible to office as a white man of like character and attainments. No government which in its laws declares the equal rights of blacks and whites can for an instant consent by its own act to nullify the spirit of those laws at dictation of prejudice. Nobody can claim office as a right, and, notwithstanding their legal equality, it may frequently be unwise and not for the good of the public service to appoint Negroes to office. But when lawlessness attempts to
obstruct such negroes as are in office and, force the government, not to exercise a conservative discretion as to, the suitability of a negro for any particular office, but to ght the door to preferment on negroes just because they are negroes, then is the time for the government to assert its prerogative and show its respect for the negro's standing as a citizen.
"Passions will doubtless be torn to tatters in the South over this appointment, but it cannot be helped. A stand, of principle was in order. We have no desire to arouse unnecessarily the prejudices of the South. We realize the difficulties of the race question and the desirability of encouraging the black masses to raise themselves by industry and education rather than enter politics. We understand the evil which would flow from control of affairs by ignorant Negroes. Regard for all these conditions, however, is something quite different from acceptance of a practice under which this government of equal rights would make color an absolute bar to preferment.
"Dr. Crum appears to be entirely fit for the office of collector, in character and ability the equal, if not the superior, of the average white man selected for such office. The charges made against him by his opponents have been, we understand, completely disproved, and the only thing now urged against him is the fact that he is a colored man. The office of collector is considered too sacred to be profaned by an occupant with a black skin, just as the postoffice at Indianola is considered too sacred to be profaned by a woman with a black skin, though she profaned it for several years to the satisfaction of the white community until some of the loafers thought it was the time to assert their aristocratic Caucasianism and teach the "niggers" their place. Under such circumstances the dignity of government and respect for the principles of its constitution call for an emphatic stand, not for the Negro officeholding in general, but for the government's right to appoint Negroes to office when it sees fit. The agitation against Dr. Crum has practically amounted to a denial of that right, and the President correctly judges that the way to defend the right is to exercise it"—New York Tribune.
Purse on Negro Literature
Purse on Negro Literature
The Negro has been free only 38 years yet he has written about 500 books and today edits about 300 newspapers and magazines.
He could do more but he does not get the patronage he is desirous. Why is it that we do not purchase and read the books written by our own people? Everybody seems to be proud of his race but the Negro. I have recently made a tour through the city to sea so far as I could do clandestinely how many Negro books one would find in the homes of our historic city. It would be a disgrace for me to give the result of my investigation. I found in one home over twenty books written by Negroes. Good!
Let me mention a few of the books recently put on the market by our people. The Marrow of Tradition, (novel) by Chestnut, The Black Cat Club (series of tales) by Corothers, Shadows and Light by Judge Gibbs, History of the Negro Race by Grimshaw, and Camp-fires of the Afro-American by Guthrie.
Readers, unless we purchase the books written by our people, how can they afford to put them on the market? Take some of the money you spend for straightening hair and straightening impliments, skin bleaching cosmetics, nose shapers and other antidotes for unfallable attributes" of Negro blood, and buy some of these books and read them.
Next week I shall write on the gullibility of the Negro, provided Mrs. Purse is better.
St. Philip's Dots.
Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, Presiding Elder of West Savannah District, preached at 11 o'clock on Sunday. Notwithstanding the inclementy of the weather there was a good attendance. The sermon delivered by the Elder was a grand discussion. At 8 p. m. Rev. Sherman preached to a large congregation, and his discourse was beneficial to all who heard it. Rev. Newton is getting everything in shape to raise money to pay off our minor debts. Rev. Newton will deliver a sermon to a Benevolent Society tomorrow night. On Monday night next a grand literary concert will be given by the students of Prof. Martin J. Crawford's Academy. The public is cordially invited to attend. A fine program will be presented. Half of the proceeds will go for the benefit of the church. Prof. Crawford, manager.
Bro. F. J. Hilton is still on the sick list. We hope he will soon be out.
Don't forget St. Philips bazaar which opens on Jau. 26th, at Harris street hall. We want to make this the grandest of them all. We invite the friends and the public to attend. You will enjoy yourselves, as there will be societies and lodges, in attendance each night. Chairman A.
W. White desires to say that anything in the way of donations will be thankfully received. Admission only.10s. Societies and lodges attending in a body, including supper 25c. The lodge or society having the largest number present on any night will receive a prize. The usual services will be held to-morrow.
Second Baptist Church.
Last week was a red letter week in the history of the Second Baptist church. This grand old historic church celebrated its centennial. December 26, 1802, it was organized, and now has behind it one hundred years of undisputed history. Every night last week able sermons were preached and important papers read.
On Friday night a grand reception was given in the lecture room of the church. Long tables laden with all sorts of good things were set, and hundreds partook thereof and enjoyed greatly the pleasant social intercourse of the evening Nearly every Baptist church in the City was represented, either by pastor or officers. Rev. J. M. Simms, responded to the toast "Unity." Dr. W. C. Blackman to the "Negro in Medicine," Prof. J. H. O. Butler the "Negro in the school room," Rev. R Kemp, "The Negro in the pulpit," and Des. Wm. Durden, "The Negro in the Deacrony." Dr. Durham, the pastor acted as toast master. All spoke well and eloquently. The good sisters who had charge of the banquet and whose names are too numerous to mention here, deserve great credit for the tasty and elegant manner in which everything was conducted.
The celebration was concluded on Sunday night with a sermon by the pastor, subject "One hundred years of Baptist growth in America." To the yast audience that crowded the church from pulpit to vestibule, the doctor spoke for one hour and a half of the struggles, conflicts, sacrifices and conquests of Baptists in America. Among other things, the doctor said that a hundred years ago in this country the Baptists were few poor, oppressed and depressed, with but few churches and schools. One hundred years ago there were about 40,000 Baptists in America; to-day there are 4,500,000 Baptists with 50,000 churches; 40,000 ordained preachers, who baptized last year 250,000 persons, and received into Baptist churches by baptism and otherwise 410,610 persons, which was an average of 1,125 persons for every day in the year. They also have $10,000,000 of school property, $100,000,000 of church property and contributed to education and religion last year $20,000,000.
The sermon was a revelation to many in the audience, and although Dr. Durham spoke an hour and a half, yet at the close of the services many expressed regret that he did not speak longer. After the sermon the officers for the present year were installed. And thus ended one of the most profitable and successful weeks of service known in the history of this church. And pastor and church unite in thanking one and all who by their presence, contribution or otherwise in any way helpful to make this centennial celebration a grand and glorious success spiritually, socially and financially. Reports showed that during the eleven years pastorate of Dr. Durham, the present pastor, something over $46,000 had been raised and between one thousand and twelve hundred persons had been received into the church
The Ladies Branch of the Union Brotherhood Association will attend service to-morrow night in a body, and the pastor will preach a special sermon appropriate to the occasion.

College Dots.
Next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock Mr. E. L. Barker will lecture at the College and impersonate some of the characters in David Copperfield, Dicken's master-piece.

He has however a national reputation and is well-known in literary circles Tickets can be obtained from students' of the college. The students seemed to have survived the merriment of the holidays. They are at home to work now. So are the teachers. The Farmers Conference on Feb. 26th, has a very bright prospect for both quantity and quality. President Wright has enough seeds for all. Come !!!
The ladies of the campus have organized a U. C., that is a Utility Club. Their meetings once each week are peripatétic. Only ladies are eligible to membership, men are not wanted. Strange, eh.
The dairy will be into operation Feb.1. Mr.F. Cardozo of Tuskegee will have charge. Chancellor Hill visited the College last Tuesday. He addressed the students on the authracite coal strike and suggested civil jurisdiction as the best method of terminating conflicts between capital and labor. He took the position that when these strikers are so comprehensive in their results as to bring suffering to thousands of citizens they become legal rather than ethical questions. It was an instructive lecture.
Come to the lecture Jan. 22nd.
A Voice From Alabama.
A Voice From Alabama.
Your valuable paper comes regularly to my address. Among the many weekdays I receive none demands my sincerity and attention as close as the interesting matter found in the columns of The TRIBUNE.
While it comes from my native city and is being aly manned by members of my race this of itself has its bearing which cause anxiety to scan its pages, yet there are other things more lofty and far-reaching which cause me to welcome The TRIBUNE first of all others. First, its very high and lofty purpose to lift up our people along all lines and it places them upon high vantage ground with other progressive race are very encouraging to the lovers of the race.
Second, The timely warning given from time to time prevents numbers of our people from rushing into degradation where in race pride is forever lost. These warning arouse the dreamer, convinces him that life is not a dream, but a living reality demands every moral attribute into a state of activity. It also goes to the stopping place of the negligent and assure him that economy and industry are usually followed by independence and respectibility, intemperance and dishonesty by degradation and shame. I want to congratulate you Mr. Editor for the bold stand you have taken in defense of the race morally, politically, intellectually and religiously. May you live to behold with joy the crowning of your labor.

She was a dainty little maid that he kissed on the corner that night She ran n the yard and up the steps as lightly as she butterfly passes from flower to flower. He always kissed her goodnight under the tree at the corner, because he liked to watch her trim little figure in its spotless clothes as she ran in the yard and up the steps.

The mercantile feature is on a sound basis and as we are in the commercial center of the country we are in a position to cooperate with all parts of theouth. Our New York office may offer the advantages of a wife who wish it. We also propose establishing stores in all cities, where an employer can be procured to support them; and in this way the company will secure to stockholders the profit of their own consumption and open the doors of labor to our unemployed.

Renting Stuffed Animals.
The trade in stuffed animals ts get.
ting brisker with the approach of the
holiday season. “I don’t mean by
that,” said a William Street taxider-
mist, “that we are selling more of
them. We are not. We never do sell
stuffed beasts in herds at this time of
the year, but our renting list swells
rrodigiously. People whoso business
requires them to use stuffed animals
and birds as advertisements general-
ly want an extra duck or dog or bear
gdded to thelr stock tor a month or
two preceding and following Christ-
ymas. A trade mark of this kind, of
f00d quality, costs anywhere from $35
to $75, and as those that are used
merely 2s ‘supors’ aro needed only
@ few months In the year, it 1s cheaper
to rent them, than to buy them out-
Tight. Almést every merchant in
_town, of high or low degreo, makes
an extra splurge at this season by ex-
hibiting a polar bear or some other
efestive onimal, consequently our rental
amounts to a rather nice income
Some seasons we do a pretty thriving
business with theatrical companies.

to have become too realistic to rely

OUR HIGHEST MOUNTAIN.
Geological Survey Party.
Mount McKinley, the highest moun
tain on the North Anjerican continent
_Was visited last season by Alfred H.
Brooks and his party from the United
States Geological Survey, of which
‘Mr. D, L. Reaburn waa topographer.
As far as is known, this !s the first
time the slopes of the peak have been
reached by white men, though in 1898
its alfitude and moisture were deter.
mined from a distance by Robert
Muldrew, of the same surveys
The mountain {fs located near the
western margin of the Alaskan Range,
the general name giyen to the large
mountain mass which separates the
Yukod and Kuskokwim waters from
Cook Inlet drainage. It fs a great
dome-shaped mountain, formed of in-
trusive rock, towering to an elevation
of over £0,000 feet above ‘sea level.
Tkough its summit reaches so high an
altitude, almost four miles above tide
it probably 1s not difficult of ascent
as some other Alaskan mountains, for
example, Mount St. Ellas, because of
its relatively high snow line. As the
season was Well advanced, as much of
his {itinerary had still to be carried
out, and as it was no part of the orig!-
nal plan, Mr. Brooks did not attempt
to pass the snow line, though this
point was reached. Now that the
location and height of the mountain
have beeti established by the explora.
tlon of the Geological Survey, travel-
ers and individual’ explorers will
doubtless soon attempt to reach the
summit. In anticipation of these at-
tempts, Mr. Brooks is preparing a de-
scription of the country, giving routes
by which the mountain may be reach-
ed and other information valuable to
those interested in Its ascént. His
paper will appear in one of the lead-
ing geographical magazines. The
more elaborate and extended report of
the exploration will be published by
the Geological Survey at an early date.

They were discussing the various
types of people whom they encounter-
ed tn their travels, re‘ates tho New
York Mail and Exprese, and the con-
sensus of opinion expressed by six
drummers was that “wiilte” treatment
—that is, politeness—vas never lost
when exerted on a traveling man,
‘The stout man, who represented a
tur house, had the floor.
“This talk,” sald he, “reminds me
of a little incident that occurred last
season. Hopkins was taken suddenly

In shap again. Naturally, I was strange

got along fairly well until I reached

|were a lot of furs there which the
firm had been informed could be had
fora bargain. It seems two rival
‘firms had gotten. hold of the skins, and
-L was to use my judgmcat as to which
firm‘ should trade with
“It was a nove! expefience for me.
I had been accustomed to selling furs
not buying them, and naturally I felt
my importance. It waf a matter of
about $25,000, too, and I mentally pic-
tured the attack of heart disease I
would give the membérs of one or the
other firm when I placed my order. I
rehearsed my entrance into the store,
pletured the off-hand way in Which I
would examine-the furs and criticise
them. I even had the scene down to
such a fine point that I had the words
all chosen to utter betwcen puffs of a
cigar—nothing like a cigar, you know,
to show nonchalance!
“Well, I started out early next day.
I had the cards of the rival firms in
may pocket, and as I looked them ever
I idly wondered which I would go to
first. One was, say ‘Brown, & Jones,
and the other was ‘Smith & Waters.
“‘Brown & Jones’ was the nearer
to my hotel, so I walked over there,
inflating my chest as I entered the
place. It was a dark, cavernous sort
of store, and I almost roped my way
to the rear, between piles of furs.
There, seated in an easy chair, with
his feet cocked upon a desk, sat a
young man, He wore an incipient mu-
stache and a look of insufferable ar-
rogance,
“Well, what do you want?’ he |
asked.
“He placed an exasperating accent
upon the ‘you.’ I felt my chest decrease
in circumference, and at the same time
my inate anger arose. Here I came
to do this house a great business ser-
vee and—
“However, I smothered my anger,
produced tho firm’s card and asked
meekly as I could, ‘Is this Brown &
Jones?”
“Yes, he snarled, rather than re
plied, ‘I’m Mister Jones. What do you
want?" 1
“For the second time the query was
Insultingly put. I longed to tell him
what I wanted, but I controlled my
feelings.
“I don’t think I want anything from
you,’ I sald simply, and walked out
of the store,
“At Smith & Waters’ I received bet-
ter treatment. I placed the order with
them and went back to my hotel with
an invitation to dine with one of the
firm that night.
“Before my trip ended I learned
that ‘Brown & Jones’ had fafled for a
considerable sum. Perhaps my order
would have tided them over through
the crisis. At any rate I am vindic-
tive enough to be glad of thelr failure.
That little word ‘yqu’ was the great
est insult I ever received.”

I amicted with Thampsen’s Eye Water
and the cold is sure to pass away
without Ieaving ony bad effect,
Unless this 1s done the cold is al-
most ure to end in the second stage of
catarth, which is making so many lives
miserable. If Peruna was taken every
time one has a cdld or cough, chronic
catarrh would be practically an un-
known disease.
Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. 57 Bassett
atreet, Albany, N.Y.» writes:
“T ‘have always dreaded unsettled
Reather because of my extreme Iiabil:
ity to catch cold, when a catarrhal
trouble would quickly, develop through
my entire estem, which it would take
weeks to drive away. I am thankful
to say that since T have taken PE-
RON I do not Rave any reason to
dread this any more. If T have been
at all exposed to the damp.wet or cold
weather, I take a dose or two of PE-
RUNA, and it throws out any hint
of sickness from my system.”—Mies
Elizabeth Uber.
‘Mrs. Mf. J. Brink, No. 820 Michigan ave-
nue, St. Joseph, Mich., writes:
“This past winter during the wet and
cold weather I caught a sudden and severe
cold, which developed a catarrhal condition
through my entire exstem, and so affected
my general health that I’ was completely
broken down, and became nervous and
bysterical and unfit to supervise my home.
My physician prescribed for me, but some-
how his medicme did me no good. Read-
ing of PERUNA I decided to try it. Af.
ter I had taken but three bottles I found
myself in fine health.”—Mrs. M. J. Brink.
