by the association for African mis-

the board that there is a lady in
England who has promised $3.50 to
ut and send missionary to Africa
as soon as the board will send the
missionary to England. The board
decided to raise $500 this year to
start mission on the Congo. The
mission the board has been running
III connection with the missionary
union OF Boston has been given up
tOI the reason that the missionary
union revoked the appointments of
our missionary without the consent
of the b. A. NJ. board. This leaves
the board without any special field,
therefore, every effort is 70 be put
forth to start mission manned and
managed by the American Negroes.
There are several reasons why this
should be so. First. It seems to
be Gods design that the American
Negro is to be enslaved, learn the
Christian religion, take it back to
his native land. Second. The
Negro Baptists of America need to
do this work that they may become
deeper interested in their brethren
of Africa. Third. That the Amer
lean Negro may learn of the wealth
OF his native country and desire to
delVe its mines and reap the pro-
ducts of its soil. We need to do
this work to give us experience in
organizing and planning for the
of our people What
ever our white brethren may desire
to do for us should be done through
our own board. 1t is the only way
to make the Negro thoroughly feel
and understand his relation to his
heathen relatives. The Negro is
the only one who seems to be able
10 stand the climate and teach
Jesue to these perishing people.
We know who among us Is best
suited to go as missionaries. there
ore let us work together for the
of Africa. The Bap-
ist brotherhood III America is
divided into divisions. The North
IN Baptist, Southern Baptist and
Negro Baptist. The Negro Bap-
ist is the largest body of Baptists i'll
America, therefore, our number
hould count for Christ and bis
ause. Our white brethren are
eady to help us. 1t is our duty to
lform them how they should help
s-nOt by furnishing our food
'pirituaD for US and then masticat-
lg it for us but By assisting us in
btaining the food and allowing Us
lie privilege of either masticating
ourself or by eating it without
lastication. In other words, the

The man lost his hat while riding
past the place last night. In passing
the spot to-day he saw his hat laying

the spot Golden jumpedolf and reach

was not quick enough, however, for
the moving train caught him just as
he was pulling his head back and pin

head off.
The car was thrown off the track by
the occurrence. The body of the un-

R0MANISM IN ROME.

Thirty-one councils of the Junior
Order of American Mechanics accept
ed an invitation of Rev. c. II. Wools-
ton, pastor Of the Kensington Baptist
Church, Girard avenue and Hanover
streets, yesterday, to hear him talk
upon Romanism as | Saw 1t in
Rome" The societies came from all
parts of the city and mustered some
1900 or 1900 strong. The church
was entirely inadequate to hold them
and about four hundred were unable
to even gain admittance to the build
ing.
The line formed at Girard and
Frankford avenues early in the after
noon. Headed by the State Fencibles
Band the mechanics marched to the
church, few squares away. Clear
field Council headed the procession
and John M. Mccullough was mar
shall of the host.
At the church, beside the address
of DR.. Woolston, there was an interest
ing musical programme. Mrs. A
Erdmann sung splendidly the "Star
Spangled Banner" while Miss Anna
Peters gave, with stirring fervor,
Stand by the School House." 1t was
the largest gathering the notheast ever
saw on Sunday afternoon, and the
parade of the councils was viewed by
hundreds of persons.
Mr.. Woolston dealt with things as
he had found them during his pll.
grimage to Rome. He leveled the
hottest kind OF shot against what he
declared was the evil work and tend
ency of the ancient Church of Rome
Sin its endeavor to lay hands on

WOMEN AT THE POLLS.

Newburg, N. Y, April 2S.-The
first taxpayers election at which
women were permitted to vote was
held here to day and was the liveliest
ever known. The question was
whether or not $4,000 should be
spent for city hall. One lady who
came to vote found that the assessors
had left her name off the roll. "That's
only one vote lost" she said, "but
I'll make Up for it," She went away
and brought six other ladies back to
the polls, all Of whom voted as she
would have done.
Although it rained most of the day
the vote was very large for such an
election. At one time there were a3
ladies in line, awaiting their turn TO
vote, and one brought in her own car
riage 40 of her sex to the polls.
They polled about 23o of the Ss4
votes that were cast, and it is esti-
mated that at least 90 per cent. of the
women voted ballots against the pro.
ject, Many of them came in their own
carriages and comprised the best
people of the city.
