D. from Lincoln Institution. Miss Fuell acquainted herself most acceptibly to all present, even the Bishop was carried "off of his feet" bp her forceful utterances. In his responses, the Bishop commended tha race for what it had accomplished since freedom and held that Miss Fuell would be good material to add "fusel" to any flame among Methodist preachers. The remainder of the morning was devoted to routine business. Just before adjournment, another Dr Randall, representing Twentle RACE ENTERPRISES Place Series With the th Century Evangelism, delivered a telling address.

A special committee reported a set of resolutions recommending that special efforts be put forth during the next year to raise $2000 for Industrial Education at this school. President IL Lowe, Ph. D., was present and led in a discussion of the school's present condition. Editor W H Huston, a member of the board of Trustees of this Institution, in a brief address urged the Conference to take hold of this school and place her various departments on a basis of practical utility in order that she may stand on equal footing with her more favorably situated competitors. Revs. B F Abbott, A H Higgs, Ribhard Davis, J H McAllister, R E Gillum urged in vehement terms that a plan be formulated for practical work for the coming year. A subscription amounting to $400 was listed at this service. The Rev. Dr. R E Gillum, of Union Memorial Church, St Louis presided at this service. SECOND DAY The second day's session opened on schedule time with Bishop Moore in chair. Presiding elders W H Smith of Sedalia district B F Abbott of St Louis district, and A H Higgs of the St Joseph district read their annual reports. These brethren reported their work as being proficiently managed. Phenomenal gains were made during the year and conditions are favorable for a bright and progressive future. Reva. T W Fulghem and Henry T Reeves were admitted into the traveling connection. Bishop Moore in a fatherly and Godly lecture, advised and counselled them of the sacredness and responsibilities of the work they entering into. He urged them to be clean, devout, useful, earnest and godly men. Dr I L Thomas, in an eloquent address, presented the cause of Domestic Missions and Church Extension. This department of the church has asked the genera church to raise one million dollars to meet the demands of the present year. The Rev. Dr. Graham gave some valuable information relative to the publishing interests of the church. Among other things he stated that the gross receipts for the last fiscal year exceeded two millions dollars. The dividend allowed to the various conferences for the relief of their retired ministers for the present year was $150,000. He also stated that it required 17 tons of paper daily to feed the presses that produce our literature. Dr. E M Jones of Montgomery, Alabama, in an able address placed the interests of the Educational Board, Freedman's Aid and Sunday Schools before the conference. He declared that the sensible Negroes of the south have decided to remain there and meet whatever conditions that may arise as men should meet them. Armed with character, in dustry, education, loyalty to the nation and respect for all men's rights, he and thousands of his kind purpose to stand their ground, facing the issues determined to master them all. Editor R. E. Jones of New Orleans, La., editorial manager of the Southwestern Christian Advocate gave the conference to understand that his cause—the advocates of the church, gave life to all of the varied interests of the church. It was gratifying to hear that this periodical has become almost self supporting. Methodism is being greatly strengthened by this year's meeting. Bishop Moore and other representatives of the departments of the church has given the conference many compliments for its growth in intelligence, membership and scope of influence. They Pitch the Red Hot Nails The City of New Orleans is a building boom as never before. It has been the opinion of the older citizens that sky-scrapers would be dangerous here, but that has been exploded; each new banking institution or business house is rising higher and higher. The great Mason Blanche will be fourteen stories high when completed. But it is of the Grunewald Hotel Annex we wish to speak of at this time. On this building the principal workmen are colored men. The other structures are going up with scientific work in the hands of white men. On these buildings the iron and steel work is being done by the old slede hammer method. But where the colored experts are at work, hydraulic hammer are doing used. The rivets are heated by a man at the forge, who stands at least fifty feet away. When the signal is given he pitcher the red instrument of death by means of tongs to the workman who catches it in a bucket and quickly removes it and places it in position, it is instantly sent home by a hydraulic hammer in the hand of another workman. Thus the work goes one story after another. To see with what care these men handle these red hot rivets, and then to note the apparent confidence the other workmen have who are laboring just under them, it must be admitted that these are the most skilled workmen that have ever labored in this city.

During the past week, we have been observing things in and about the Central Missouri Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church which was held in Trinty Chapel, Joplin. This is one of the beautiful church edifice given by Mr Thomas Connor to the Negroes of Joplin. Two other churches, the Baptists and AME were also given by this distinguished citizen. Some remarkable and noteworthy facts have been gleaned from the deliberations of this religious assemblage. A few we shall enumerate: evidences of intelligence; numerical and financial growth; source of great moral and religious influence and a demonstration of what may be accomplished by a small band of earnest workers. To an observer, the deliberations revealed a very high order of intelligence. Every question of consequence was carefully considered and judiciously banded. Each minister and presiding elder, reported their work systematically and in terms of brevity. Brotherly love and parliamentary dignity characterized every movement suggested and adopted. Secretaries, committees, boards and trustees did their work faithfully and reported in terms of dignity and completeness. The examinations submitted to those seeking advancement were of scholarly but not pedantic trend. Even the conduct upon the streets in public places and private residences re reflected intelligence and culture. Evidences and proofs of racial refinement were plentiful at Joplin last week Statistical reports this year will show that there has been gains made along all lines. The membership has increased, new churches, models of architectural beauty have been built, new fields have been opened, the benevolent collections, pastoral support and presiding elders' salaries have been more carefully looked after. Financially the conference is coming to the front. This conference is a visible factor in the religious and moral improvement of the state. Its helpful influences are known and appreciated as never before. Many of its ministers stand high in the councils of Religious Agencies that resolved to evangelize America. Prejudice is being met face to face and the great ME Church is teaching, by living, the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of man.

Some were prevented by poverty and illness from attending letters from many of the "Old Heroes" of a thousand religious battles explained the cause of their absence and at the same time assured their brethren of their faith in God and joy alty to the church. Twenty one years ago the Conference was weak in everything. But today she has 8000 members about a hundred ministers many of whom have earned degrees from Colleges and careers from actual services that rank with the most favored of any people. The younger men of this Conference have worthy examples to emulate and there is abundant work to be accomplished. Mr. Foraker and Overman in a Clash OVERMAN SAYS FORAKER FAVORS NEGROES FORAKER SAYS OVERMAN IS PREJUDICED BOTH MAKE SAME CLAIM Washington, March 19. -- None of Senator Foraker's expected witnesses had arrived when the Senate committee on military affairs met today and an adjournment of the Brownsville investigation was taken until tomorrow. Chairman Warren had put in the record another telegram of denial in relation to the alledged confession of D. C. Gray at Galveston that Negro soldiers shot up the town. Before the committee adjourned Senator Foraker attempted to have the testimony of Lieutenant Laurison, formerly commander of company B, Twenty Fifth infantry, given before the Pensouc court martial, placed in the record of committee. Objection was made and Senator Foraker then decided that he had attempted to answer the first case presented by the President, which was based upon the reports by General Garlington and Mrjor Blocksom but that since then new cases had been presented. He said the Prudy testimony was a new case as also the report of experts of the ordinance department who examined the shells picked up at Brownsville. He thought he should be premitted to answer every new case presented. In reply to comment by Senator Overman that he was trying to prove the Negroes innocent, Senator Foraker said: "I don't wonder that you think so as nothing has been shown to the contrary. And you will try to show that they were guilty." □ Senator Overman replied that he wanted to get the facts. Senator Foraker said that was his purpose also. The commitee will either take a recess next Saturday or await the coming of all the officers of the Twenty-fifth infantry who were at Brownsville, or at that time fix a date for its prospective trip to Brownsville. Penrose Courtmartial San Antonio, Tex., March 19— The cross examination of Captain Lyon to day in the Penrose court martial was the occasion for numerous tilts defense and prosecution, Col. Glenn arguing for the former and Lieutenant Wielch for the latter. William Hewitf said he firmly believed the citizens of Brownsville had fired on the post, but he had not examined the barracks for the bullet marks and had beard of no such marks being found by any one.

FALSE STATEMENT REGARDING THE METROPOLITAN HOW UNFORTUNATE that the newspapers of this country are so ready to print anything like to be considered as a reflection on the plans of a life insurance company without first satislying themselves as to its correctness. The papers circulated broadcast recently a statement that the Metropolitan had announced that it would issue no more insurance on the lives of colored persons. This report was in some cases distorted into the claim that existing policies on lives of colored people would be cancelled. The Home Office was flooded with communications asking us to its correctness. THERE WAS NOT A PARTICLE OF TRUTH IN THE NEWSPAPER REPORT. This Company never announced that it intended to stop the issue of policies to colored people, and it is and has been issuing such policies daily, both before and since the publication referred to. Policy-holders of any race have only to promptly pay their premiums; the Metropolitan will do all and more than agreed.
