MISSIONARY LECTURE.
Bishop A. G. GaIiett of Northern Texas
Talks of the Needs Of III. xvo~s


The Women's Auxiliary to the Roard
of Missions held its quarterly meatino
Yesterday afternoon In Calvary p N
Church, Third and Washington streets
There was full attendance
A resolution that aid be given TO Bishon
Garrett in his efforts to found Bisbop
Lee scholarship in Mexico under Rev. w
b. Gordon, and TO send 5000 TO Laurel TO
insure the life Of foreign missionary,
was adopted.
The business meeting was then closed.
The church was filled with an interested
audience and Bishop Coleman presided
Right Rev. A. G.. Garrett, bishop of
Northern Texas, delivered an address on
the conditions aud needs Of his diocese
He spoke of the important part the
Womens Auxiliary played in church
missionary work, which he said is the
life Of the church.
1T is difficult for persons who live in
built up communities to picture the
work Of missionary bishop. He finds
his territory sparsely settled, the houses
Of tumble down nature, the people I'M.
educated, and there are neither schools
nor churches. There are, however, few
persons who have heard the voice of the
church of God.
These were the conditions in Texas
fourteen years ago. Then the mighty
tramp of settlers had started. Then
there were in northern Texas two shan
ties answering for churches, now there
are twenty eight churches and rectories.
We need ministers for these some would
think that ten would be enough, but that
would be but one TO 10000 square miles.
| have one man in Texas who has par
IRISH Of 10000 square miles.
Next we want schools for the education
Of the children of the people. We want
religious schools, and to this end have
decided TO found permanent school for
| girls in Dallas. This is my life work, and
may take my successors, but II will be
done, and as we believe to the glory Of
| God. p
A collection for the benefit Of the pro
posed school was then taken up, after
which Bishop Coleman pronounced the
benediction.

TAXATION FOB SCHOOLS.
The Colored People of Wilmington are
Seeking Justice and Fair Treatment.

The CO1Ored People of Wilmington are
Seeking Justice and Fair Treatment.
A mass meeting Of colored citizens was
held last evening at Masonic Hail. on
West Twelfth street, to consider the sub
ject of school taxation. James r. Wilson
presided and A. B. MacP. johnson served
as Secretary. Resolutions was adopted to
move in the matter of taxation for school
purposes and to petition the Legislature
for statutes equalizing the present sys-
tenn of levying taxes for educational pur-
poses. 1t was further resolved to issued
a call for a state convention of leading
colored men to be held at Dover on Feb,
ruary s.
Inc meeting was addressed by A. w
Brinkley, editor OF the Peoples Witness,
". M. Winston. Asbury Sterling, Daniel
I. hamilton and others A. w. Brinklcy
a. B. MaeP. Johnson, Stansbury Murray,
Asbury Sterling, and w. NJ. Winston
were appointed delegates. and Thomas
Anderson, William H, Smith, w. ].
Miller, D. P. Hamilton and James r.
Wilson alternates to the state conven-
tion.
The inequality complained of is that the
taxes levied upon tie white and colored
people of the state are devoted separately
to the schools Of the two races. In this
city the schools for the colored children
are maintained by the Board Of Education
as generously as are the school for the
white children, but in the rural districts
this statutory discrimination, which is a
relic of the hateful white Mans Party,
operates very harshly upon the
colored people. They are the poorest
and most bel pless class in the state and
yet it is imposed upon them to maintain
their own schools 1t is true that the
state appropriates annually $4,000
towards the support of their schools. but
at the same time the state gives $25, 900
to the schools for whites, which is in
addition to the large sum which the lat.
ter schools annually draw from the school
fund.
This condition of things, so unfair to
poor and deserving class of the com.
mnnity, has been ignored of late years.
1t is believed that the Federal courts
would have removed the discrimination
long ago if the matter had been pushed
The colored people are now trying to get
redress from the General Assembly.

Mr.. Mclaughlin maintains that he wrote

the sum of $50, 600 for his work. perhaps
some put higher value on their services
than others. Mrs Kelly was asked
whether or not she would contest the

him on the floor were fragments of glass
and among them a iattened bullet, which
he picked up and now keeps as a
memento of the affair. The bullet
came through the centre top light in the
window on Third street, as If shot from
down King street. Mr.. Downs is quite
anxious to know where the bullet came
from. This is the third bullet that has
found its way into Odd Fellows Hall
and the strange part is that each time
the bullet struck in the same room
and near the place Mr. Downs was
working. One bullet came through a
window into the lodge room on the third
floor and another into that on the fourth
floor. Mr. Downs has no idea of the
source of the bullets, but would caution
any one against reckless shooting in that
vicinity

Some People Deswhat They Moan. And
Others Mean Enough TO DO Anything.
Any person that causes to be printed
through the public press any article that
will have tendency to deceive and mis-
lead. or for the simple purpose of adding
a few paltry dollars TO their income. Is
not worthy to rank as honorable competi-
tors. They should think before they put
words into public print that no man liv-
ing is incauable Of making mistake, and
live merchants that pay one hundred
cents on the dollar and buy for spot
cash, are equally as capable in buying
or giving bargains as those who would
like TO impress otherwise. Consequently
we say be careful of those who want your
patronage for the sole purpose of helping
them TO lose money, as those people who
advertise such stuff would rather part
with their goods at big profit by their
mode Of getting you in their clutches,
than give awaya small pinch of snuff
The only way to cultivate custom is by
honorable methods, and by going where
