Sharpe first came to Henderson as
| manager of a branch establishment of
VIM. Datfron's Richmond furniture
house, and later bought out the con-
Germ and for some time conducted the
| business in his own behalf. Then he
took in a partner but after time closed
UP and went to Richmond to live with
his former employer.
In private letter to us Mr.. J. j.
Walsh, who at one time lived in Hen
derson as an employe in the store with
Mr.. Sharpe. assures us that his friend
received every kindness and attention
possible during his illness and his death
is greatly lamented by his employer.
associates and friends.

Missionary Ship.

There was very pleasant and edi-
flying entertainment at Burwell Hall
Tuesday night. It was the building of
the Missionary Ship" by the Metho-
dist Episcopal Sunday-school. Mr..
Joe Thomas made the Introductory ad-
dress and did it very we'll. The boys
and girls who took part in the exercises
contributed their full share towards it's
success and upon the whole it was a
most delightful affair. We would like
to mention by name each of the pretty
little girls and gallant little boys on
the stage, but will have to content our
self with general reference and say
all did we'll and deserve much credit
for the manner in which they acquitted
themselves. We must say, however,
that one of the most beautiful and
touching incidents Of the evening was
the prayer of little Annie Whitmore,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. Whit
more. With remarkable composure
for child of her age she knelt down
on the front part of the stage and rails
ing her little hands above her head
said a prayer that for calmness of de-
livery, distinctness of pronunciation,
and appropriateness of voice and man.
ner would have done credit to many
older persons. A solemn stiffness
pervaded the vast audience and there
was many a tear-filled eye in the house
as the result of that little child's prayer.
A speech by little Eugene Daniel, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Daniel, calls
for individual mention also. The
Youngest and smallest of the actors
and orators of the occasion, he spoke
his lines very sweetly and ''covered
himself with glory" Altogether it was
an enjoyable as well as a novel enter
tainment.

Interestesl I'm the Tariff.

LONDON, May 22.-In the commons to-
day Hill asked whether, in the view OF
the opposition of American refineries to
the proposed abolition of duties in Ameri-
ca Oh sugars below 16 Dutch standard,
the government would reinvite the WASH
ington government to join the sugar con-
vention. Ferguson replied that II was by
no means certain what the final decision
of congress would be OH the tariff. There
was no ground to think renewal of the
invitation to the Washington government
to Join the convention would he success
full. Sir Lionel Playfair asked Smith, the
government leader, to state whether the
government would ratify the convention
before the assent of parliament had been
obtnined. Smith replied that liberty must
be reserved to the government as they
thought IL necessary in the event OF other
powers ratifying the convention. "Does
the government suppose" continued
Playfair, "that they have the power to
ratify without the consent OF parlia-
ment?" Opposition cheers. Smith de-
clined to answer the question.
Mr.. Brckett wanted assurance that
English interests i'm Africa would not be
sacrificed To Germany and moved To re-
duce the foreign Office vote. Sir James
Ferguson deprecated public discussion
pending negotiations with Germany. He
said when these negotiations were COM
pleted full explanation would he given.
The government were mindful OF the
country's interests but they must not he
high handed and unmindful OF the aspira-
tions of other nations IL they expected
their own To be recognized. The motion
to reduce the vote was rejected.

The baptist Publication society.

CHICAGO, May 22.-The American Bap-
lists Publication Society to-day elected
Samuel II. Grocer Of Pennsylvania, presi-
dent. A large number of other officers
were also elected. A committee report
was adopted recommending that the man.
ayers appoint men to prepare a catechism
for use i'm Sunday schools. At the after
noon session a sensational episode oc-
Cured, involving the race question. Rev.
A. Binga OF Virginia, presented n protest
from the Virginia state association OF col
ored Baptists condemning the publication
society for the indignity offered colored
people by dropping, through race preju-
oiice, the names of Revs. Lowe, Simmonds
and Brooks from the list contributed to
Baptist teachers. Mr.. Binga firmly de-
manded an explanation of the dropping
of his three colored brethren. General
Secretary Grifiiths assumed all the
responsibility. He said the three min
listers i'm question had said warm
things during the bitter troubles at
indianapolis last year which people had
exaggerated and misunderstood. The
three were thereby untitled to serve
as editorial writers and publishers, who
had the right so to inform them. At
the conclusion Of DIR. Grifiith's remarks
protest was referred to the board of
managers. II was intimated during the
discussion on the matter that unless
something is done to counteract the ef-
feet of the dismissal of the three colored
writer's, Baptists are liable To have their
hold on the colored race weakened.

into Weinstein's grocery store and stole
thirty boxes OF cigars, some cigarettes
and n quantity Of small articles. An hour
or so later they offered these
for sale at another saloon. An
officer learned of this and after hard
chase with the assistance of two men sue
ceeded In capturing three of the burglars.
Sanford 4 STEMS store was also broken
into presumably by the same parties. but
nothing was taken except an overcoat.
Yesterday afternoon Will velie and
Miss Annie Flowcree were married at 81.

DOINGS IN WASHINGTON
An Appeal From the Lower Mis-
sIssIppi-Urging Congress to
Make the Levee System
q National Charge.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The committee
on census hos reported o bill amending
the census SO as to prescribe q penalty
upon supervisor or enumerator who shall
receive or any person who shall pay any
fee or other consideration In addition to
the compensation of such service of emu
merator. Passed.
Conferences were ordered on the army
appropriation bill and military academy
appropriation bill.
The house went into committee OF the
whole on the river and harbor bill.
Henderson of Illinois, chairman of the
committee on rivers and harbors, ex-
planned the provisions of the bill, saying
Il appropriated so, ,a32 600 based upon es-
timates aRgregating SS,5O0,0O0. He be-
lieved there was no money that went out
of the treasury that was so much in the
interest OF the people rs the money ex.
pended in the improvement OF rivers and
harbors.
Blanchard of Louisiana spoke in favor
of river and harbor bills, contending that
they did more to solve the problem OF
cheap transportation than all the inter-
state commerce bills that could be passed.
The fact that great and disastrous Hood
recently occurred In the lower Mississippi
valley was sufficient excuse, IL one was
needed, for calling the attention OF the
|
1t was time that congress should he wax
ing up to the idea that something should
be done to harness tine waters OF the Mis-.
sissippi. That was too great national
feature to be handled by state or aggre-
CATION of states. The time had come
when congress should appropriate money
not only for improving the navigation OF
the river. but for the purpose OF prevent
ing floods. The late Hood had not de-
monstrated that the levee system was q
failure, but that an adequate system of
levees should prevent floods, and the
piece-meal system, which Impoverished
the states of the south to be able to carry
1t on, was not sufficient to prevent inun-
dations.
Catchings, of Mississippi, spok in the
same vein. Kerr, OF Iowa, attacked the
bill. which was defended by Grosvenor,
of Ohio. after which the committee rose.
Quinn. Of New York, introduced bill
reducing to l cent an ounce the postage
on drop letters in cities of 100000 in
habitants or over. The house then adj
journed.

IN THE SENATE.
Daniel Addres.ss the senate In Favor Of
silver Currency.

silver Carrency.
WASHINGTON, May 22.--In the senate
to-day message was presented from the
president with q communication from the
secretary of the interior on the subject Of
the purchase from the Creek Indians OF
land for the use Of the Seminoles.
Referred TO the committee on Indian af-
fairs.
The credentials of CALVIN :. Brice, rs
senator from Ohio, were presented and
placed on file.
A conference committee was ordered on
the pension appropriation bill.
The silver bill was then taken up.
Daniel addressed the senate in favor of
silver currency.
Daniel said gold and silver money were
welded by nature. Before jury OF oil
civil and enlightened nations, throughout
all countries, the cause OF gold and silver
had been heard and with one voice
nations had answered that to gold
and silver belonged the royal at
tribute of money. Daniel ridiculed the
idea of an avalanche Of silver crushing
down upon the United States in case OF
the free coinage OF silver. II was obvious.
he said, that silver money abroad would
not come TO the United States mint, and
Il was also obvious that there was no such
annual production of silver in the world
100000, OF which all but S5l,0OO,OO
were now coined. Thus TO cause any
fear on that score, there was only one
other point Of apprehension. The APP
prehension that there was an accumii-
iate1 stock of silver that would rush to
America as soon as the mint was open TO
free coinage. This is answered by
the secretary of the treasury himself who
stated in his report: "There is no known
accumulation OF silver bullion anywhere
i'm the world"
All silver should be admitted to free
coinage, and all silver being so admitted
to value equal with gold, il was most
reasonable TO conclude that as soon as
there was n restoration Of silver to its an
cient flame Of money dignity and thus an
enlargement of the worlds volume OF
money, prices Of those things that had
gone down with it's decline would again
have tendency to rise with its ascension.
At the close of Daniels speech the sill.
yer bill was laid aside without action and
the amendments to the naval appropria'
ton bill was agreed to. The executive
session then adjourned.
