Dear Sir

Lear Sir,
Permit me space in your columns to
make a public acknowledgment of the graft
tudr, which | owe to those ladies and gentle
men, who have in any and every way oontri-
buted 10 make our Entertainment of Wednes-
day evening, the grand success which it IN
doubtedly was. Our Schoolroom proved too
small for the large, yet select gathering.
Many distinguished ladies and gentlemen were
present, and we again beg to tender an apollo
gy to those who were Inconvenience for
sitting room. Several of those who came
early, in spite of our utmost vigilance, cool
ly took some unoccupied chairs, and Of course,
there was cause for dissatisfaction when the
rightful owners arrived.
These things will happen sometimes,
nevertheless, 50 far as we are concerned,
"Experientia sapiontiam docuit." Those gen
tlemen who vacated their chairs so as 10 make
the fair sex comfortable are to be commend
ed for having done only what was right.
We understand that our attempt has met
with general satisfaction. and all we hope for
is, that we shall merit on a future occasion
the attendance of such q select audience. We
thank those ladies who kindly placed their
chairs at our disposal, and those gentlemen
who lent the flags which decorated the room.
We beg to tender our thanks to Miss Ella
Woods, Mrs. E. L. Benjamin, Mrs 7. M.
Moore and Mr.. F. Coulter for the very eff
cient help which they rendered in our pro-
gramme. We mention last but not least, our
special thanks, to Mr. I. NJ. Moore, without
whose valued and voluntary aid, we could
not have achieved after 6 weeks residence IN
st. Croix, such an unqualified success.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore being connected with
our Church, do not wish to be thankol, still,
it is our duty 70 acknowledge our gratitude to
them. And if we have omitted to make
special mentlon OF any who have helped us in
any way, we wind up, by once more, thanking
ono and all.
Gratefully yours,

the one recently celebrated by us, to pass
without erecting some monument or establish
ing some institution to perpetuate its memory:
in fact, they consider it a mark Of genuine 10y
atty; and the various literary associations Of
most Of the English Islands were started in
commcmoration Of some remarkable event in
connection either wi h the islands themselves
or with the sovereign of the British Empire.
Their popular demonstration are never a

set up some monument or institution to tell
the story to their children: Imay here remark
that q ST atue is being erected in Jamaica to
commemorate the Exhibition Of 1891.
Thus, on the Goth Of May, we gave a de-
monstration Of our loyalty and JOY, but where
is the monument-the Ebenezer that has been
raised to instruct the generation that is to
come?

Dear Sir

To the Editor Of The 81. Croip Acis d BsAetin.
Dear Sir,
Now that the Goth. May and its festivities
have become things Of he past, permit me
through your columns, to offer few com
ments upon the subject.
To those, who like myself, ma an opportunity
Of watching, first she preparation, and the
subsequent celebration, (notahly the grand
procession along the main street, the whole
was nothing short of loyalty IN ~erceIsj>.
This very imposing and pleasing spectacle
has not however failed to leave a very deep
impression on my mind; and one Of the many
questions that have since crowded uponit is:
'What have we done to prrpetlate tho
memory Of the blisful event, TO celebrate which,
50 much time, care, energy, aye and money coo,
have been expended?'
IF we turn our attention to ancient history,
we find that it was customary with the people
of those times to erect a temple or column in
commemoTation Of n triumph, or any other oc-
casion for national rejoicing; this custom was
especially observed by the Greeks and Rom tns,
and many Of their monuments seem proudly
reluctant to yield to the irresistible strokes Of
time. If we look at Holy Writ, we find that
the same thing used to be done by the chosen
people of God, he Jews. After the lsraeIites
had safely passed through the divided stream Of
the Jordan, Joshua, their loader, ordered
twelve men to return to the bed Of the river,
and each to fetch thence a large stone. These
he clased to he pitched in Gilgal, "And spako
unto the children of Israel saying, when your
children shall ask their fathers, in time to ccme
saying, What mean these stones? Then let,
your children know saying, Israel came over
the Jordan on dry land"
Again, after these same people had settled
in the Promised Land, we find their prophet
and Judge, Samuel, setting up a stone at Eben-
ezer to mark the place where God had helped
them to gain a victory over their enemies, the
Philistines, We also find that the three
great feasts, passover, Pentecost, and Taber-
naoles) were divinely ordained, annually to
commemorate three great events in the national
history of these people. Thus we find that
the custom of erecting monum ents and estab-
fishing institutions to com ne morate great ma
tioral events, is not only very ancient but ono
that was divinely sanctioned.
Coming now to our own times, we do not find
our neighbours who inhabit the surrounding
islands allowing so remarkable an event, like

EXCITEMENT PREVAILS.
Bowling Green People Want a
Rapist's Blood.
Passengers on the Morning Train Report
Much Indienation Over the Rape
of Miss Anderson.

Passengers on the south-bound
train this morning reported wild ex-
element at Bowling Green over the
attempted rape of Miss Anderson by
a negro, an account of which was
published in yesterdays issue Of the
AF-CHRoNICLE. The men who
organized themselves into search
ing party were out all last evening
and at night had failed to catch the
right man. They had not given the
chase up, however, and both white
and black were bent on melting out
summary justice to the brute il
caught. The people were wild and
were thirsting for the Negroes blood.
They were after a negro named
Walter Henderson, who is described
as being worthless loafer, who was
seen around the house short while
before the crime was attempted.
A special to the American from
Bowling Green this morning gives
additional details of the affair. This
says the tieEd attempted to choke
her into insensibility, and finally
drew out his knife and tried to kill
her. He cut her from the right ear
around across the throat and from
the left ear in the same manner. All
this time Miss Anderson was fight.
ing with all the strength she could
command. She had pair of scissors
in her hand when attacked and this
was her only weapon OF defense
The brute threw her to the floor, but
she stabbed him through the mask
with the scissors and managed to free
herself again. Finding it impossible to
accomplish his purpose, and no doubt
becoming frightened at the blood
which was now streaming from the
wounds in her neck, he gave up the
fight and escaped out the back way
Miss Anderson ran out at the front
door, and called to some people who
were passing by on the street foi
helm.

BOWLING GREEN, Dec. 15-The
searching party has succeeded in
lodging six negroes in Jail here who
are suspected OF attempting the rape
on Miss Anderson. They are not
satisfied yet, and the search con-
tinues. The Chief of Police has sent
to Nashville for blOodhounds to be
used in the search. Miss Anderson's
condition is such that the physicians
deem it dangerous to carry any of the
prisoners before her at the present
for Identification. When the people
are certain they have the right man
he will be iynched beyond doubt.
