by Rev. l. X. RAIDER. This was followed by a
solo by Joseph Haywort of Kent, an old time

Mr.. Haywort was great singer before the
war and in the old anti slavery days used to
electrify the crowds with his songs.
The speaker of the evening, Bishop b. W.
Arnett, of Wilbcrforce university, was then
introduced The bishop is a pleasing and
entertaining talker and held his audience for
an hour with rapt attention. Every one with
one or two exceptions was sorry when he
finished. The bishop began by saying who as
an American, a black American. He spoke Of
the responsibilities of an American citizen and
also of the possibilities. He would sooner for
that reason be a negro in America, with their
present disadvantages, than an irshman in
England or one Of the lower classes of white
people in any country of the world. The

this distinction between Lincoln, Grant, Gar

started in the lower walks of life and rose TO
the highest place in life yet they started with

without home, without father, without

THE oHURoH I'M poL1rIcs.

Rev. William Williamson of the United
Brethren church, on Sunday night preached to
his congregation on "The attitude of the chris
tan church to municipal reform" He applied
the principles of his address to the present
local campaign and spoke with considerable
vigor He said the church should be opposed
to the saloon, to the social evil to the gambling
hell, and should be opposed to all who are in
favor of them. The church should stand up
and make its power felt at the ballot box. He
said the saloons were against the church and
that recently when a saloon keeper of Canton
had been predicting the nominationofthe man
who had just been nominated for mayor, he
had said: We intend to nominate him and
show the church people who's running this
town"
Rev. Williamson deplored the fact that 1T
was possible in Canton for the people to be
compelled to witness the spectacle of man
running for mayor who had been arrested In a
gambling hell. The church people, he thought.
should get together and demand reform, the
enforcement of law, the preservation of the
Sabbath and the eradication of the evils In the

TWO FORTY-TON ENGINES
To be Wrecked in Canton Just for
Fun - A Thrilling
SDpctacIp

A movement is on foot to give the most
thrilling spectacular exhibition in Canton on
May 30 that it has ever been the lot of man to
witness.
A. l.. streetar, Of Chicago, a dealer in rail
road supplies, proposes to come here and show
the people what frst.class railroad wreck
looks like. Two forty.ton railroad engines
will be taken out upon the track and started
toward each other with full steam on and
throttlcs open. They will start two miles
apart and come together while running at the
rate Of a mile a minute.
Mr.. Streater is in the city and Wednesday
night he held a meeting at the Barnett house
to further the project f. K. Briggs, of the C
{. & 5. road, was present, and that road will
be used. The collision will occur east of the
old fair ground short distance 1t will cost
from Sl2 600 to Sl5, 900 for the engines and the
repair Of the tracks, but it is expected to bring
from $4,000 to 5000 people here.
The engines will be taken all over the coun-
try and advertised for weeks before the COLI
sion. A wreck crew will be on hand to clear
and repair the tracks at once and the exhibi-
tion would certainly be drawing card.
A fence would be erected around the place
where the collision is to occur.
Mr., Streater has several offers to 20 to other
cities, but through the efforts of Attorney
James A. Rice, was induced to come to Canton
and give this city chance.
Mr.. Streater asks for 81, 500 to advertise. A
subscription paper was started this morning
and it is thought the amount can easily be
secured

In response to an invitation sent out by
President X. A. Bulley of the Canton Choral
society, a number of musicians gathered at the
rooms of Prof. Kortheuer, Wednesday night
to take action looking toward the Organization
Of an orchestra to assist in the rendition of the
Creation" in May.

ton combining both vocal and instrumental

iency. 1t is hoped to make the comingconcert
such grand affair that money can be raised
