WACO, Tx, Jan. l9.---Rev. W Il. Car
son OF Hot Springs, Ark, arrived in Waco
az 2 O'Clock this morning,yia the Missouri
Pacific, had hack drive him TO the Pacific
hotel, one OF the two principal hotels In
the city, registered his name as "W X.
Carman,r and was shown TO frst-Class
room, which he occupied until this morn
ing, when he came down into the Office
ready for breakfast. Then the clerk, as
well as some OF the colored men about the
hotel, recognized him as the colored cx-
pastor OF the A. NJ. IL. church In this city,
where he lived two years or more. The
indignant clerk fired him out In short or
der. Carson Is such light hue that he
would be readily mistaken by those who
do not know him for white man..
His prank Is utterly without excuse,
as he had lived here, knew he could not
escape discovery and knew he would not
be allowed TO remain moment in the
hotel after discovery. He Is here TO AZ
tend TO n law suit he had on hand with the
trustees OF the Paul Quinn college. He
was also pastor of colored churches IN
| Dallas and san Antonio, and gained con-
siderable notoriety by his rumpus in the
conference here, nearly three years ago,
with the negro bishop Cain. The case
went TO the general conference at Balti-
more and was decided In Carson's favor
Carson Is now pastor of colored church
at Hot Springs.

cison and the two papers, for the present
at least, will go ahead as they are,
