seventh street. Some years ago DIR.
Macarthur had a mission scheme in
view which would cost considerable
sum to put in operation on the lines
mapped out. He mentioned the mat
ter to Mr.. Rockefeller in the hope
that it would draw goodly subscrip.
tion from the millionaire. Mr.. Rookie.
feller had the project investigated. and
it seemed feasible as an agency for &C.
eompllshing much good.
He said nothing more about the mat
ter until the arrival Of Christmas Day.
Then he called at the parsonage of the
church. After wishing DR.. Macarthur
the customary compliments of the sea-
son, he broached the subject of the
II i 4 \
rs to its utility, and was prepared to
make n subscription if the pastor
would promise not 10 say one word
about it to any one. The promise was
given, and Mr. Rockefeller placed III
the hands Of Dr. Macarthur u cheek
for 100000
The promise was kept, but it be.
came necessary IN time for the officers
Of the church to know OF the dona-
tion. Then some of the wives OF the
officers heard of it. II was not a great
while before many of the people in the
church knew of the Oil Kings gigan-
tic subscription, but it was months
before the outside world got wind OF
it, and then only few papers made
any mention Of the 800, 900 gift.
Mr.. Rockefeller is not an indiscrim-
mate phIlanthropist. All Of his char
tiles tend in the direction of religion
or education. In consequence not one
out of fifty of the callers at his Office
have their wishes grati6ed.
Mr.. Rockefeller always lunches in
his Office, and spends his afternoon
until 4 o clock going over reports and
debating Instructions
AT 4 o'clock he starts uptown,
usually walking all the way home. If
the weather is stormy he goes home in
his brougham, wh:nh invariably meets
him on inclement days. He dimes
plainly at 6 O'Clock, and seldom goes
out in the evening unless it is to at
tend some important church meeting,
He goes very little into society and is
very rarely seen at the theatre or op-
era. Mrs. Rockefeller and the two
daughters care as little for society and
the pleasure of the play as Mr.. Rock
efeller.
Most Of their time is spent at home.
Thus tie wealthiest individual family
in the land leads the quietest and most
prosaic Of lives.

Of '88. During his collegiate
course, ne won several prizes In
his junior year he was selected a
member of the Phi Beta Kappa
Society. This is rare, for there are
not more than three or four Afro
Americans in this country who can
claim this honor Mr.. Carr grad
uated in '92, taking the first honor
in the lassical section and five in

In the fall Of the same year he
entered Columbia College Law
School, in which he studied for 8
full scholastic years, and at the
same time completed the course in
the school of political science and
will be entitled to the degree Ph.
D. as soon as he writes his theses.
On the 18th day of June 1895, Mr..
Carr passed his examination for ad
mission to the Bar. On July 20,
he was admitted to practice in all
the courts Of the State of New
York. Itis understood that Mr..
Carr will in course be admitted to
the New Jersey bar and will then
practice in both New jersey and
New York. 1t is necessary for him
to take this dual step, because he
already has in hand much real es-
state in New Jersey to handle. Mr..
Carr is also an active Christian
worker and is a fine Bible student.
He is an officer in the church and
a regular attendant and leader of
prayer meetings.
The New York Herald in speak
ing Of him said: "He has the rep
utation Of being one af the bright
est scholars in the class. He has
won constant appreciation from
classmates and professors alike"
And add an opinion of equal
authority: "HiS language is choice
his sentences short, his statements

Our worthy contemporary, THE
AFRo-AMERIcAN in very able ed

should BE- 10 rivalry or jealousy
between the Press and the Pulpit.
IA the main We would say the
Stand taken is a good one. But we
think that there is much that the
pulpit might do for the advance
ment OF their charges to which
they seem utterly obvious, and we
say this too Wits no thought Of en-
deavoring To instruct the pulpit.
When We look over the field, how
ever, We feel constrained to say
that there is much left undone.
The Press can surely be an educa-
tor to the Pulpit, and the pulpit
great aid to the press, both from a
refining sense and by assistance
possibly in worldly sense. We
think that these institutions can be
Of mutual benefit and should 90

Christian EndeaTOrs.

One of best features of the recent
Christian Endeavor convention held
in Boston was the absence of race
distinctions. The colored delegates
from the South and elswhere were
treated exactly like the white dele
gates and given the same privileges
and opportunities. There were col
ored SINGERS. Colored ushers and
colored speakers. The hotels, restau-
rants and cafes Showed no wish to
discriminate against the colored
people and some Of the leading
citizens ofBoston invited colored
delegates to their home to enjoy
their hospitality. The long and short
Of itwas that the eolored men and
women were treated according to
their merits and an equality OF
opportunity with whites. This libel
ality of the Christian. Endeayorers
Is conlmendable. It may be that

Glowing Letters.

some very glowing letters about

is the candidate of the African

office in the United States, and he
Is simply showing this society that
he is worthy Of itshighest trust. So
when you read DR.. Heard's African

doing what Ne has been sent to

DATES FOR THE FAIR.

The directors of the Audubon Couu-
ty Agricultural Society met pursuant
to call at the Office of II. w. Hanna last
Thursday afternoon. Nine Of the di-
rectors were present as follows: III. w.
Wilson, president; T.. j. Freeman, sec
rotary; Aug. Oelke, Hamlin; A. III.
Edwards, Douglas; L. p. Wilson, Extra;
w. d. Rucker, Greeley; Jas. Hall,
Cameron; Jno. Mcclure, Melville;
Wm Cloughly, Leroy.
The dates selected for the fair were
September l6, II, Is and 10, which week
is certainly good time for the fair.
uperintendents were named for the
various departments as follows:
Horses and mules, ". ID. Rucker and
Jas. Hall; cattle, Aug. Oelke; Sheep,
VIM. McLeran; swine, J. G. Burkey
and Jas. Hunt; poultry, II. d. Wood
ward; farm products, w. ii. Aldrich;
home manufactures, E. johnson; pam
try stores, j. G. Keith; domestic arts,
f. Vermilya; arts, c. G. Harper; fruits,
John Davis; flowers, j. a. Nash; agri-
cultural implements, G.. II. Jones;
school, ID. p. Repass; speed ring, w.
ii. Netf; hall, Ed b. Cousins.
A committee on final arrangements
consisting of the executive committee
and Messrs. Wilson Neff and Hall were
named.
The only obstacle in the way of good
big fair is the possibility of poor crop
which possibility the REPUBLICAN con-
lidently believes is not in store for us.
With the rains that are sure to come
and with the good crops they will
make our fair be a bowling success.
AS soon the committee arrive at q
decision, let everybody pitch in and
lend aid and encouragement to the
directors of the fair, and give the best
county fair ever held in Iowa.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
ID. L. REPASS.

We are very sorry to see so much
animosity and selfishness manifested
in school work, in the selection Of
directors and teachers. We are all in
terested in good schools, and should
strive to work for the general good,
regardless Of personal interests.
A tax was voted to build school
houses in the following districts: No.
4 Cameron township, No. Hamiin
township, No. 3 Melville township and
No. 9Sharon township.
The Educational Meeting last Satur-
day was one of the best attended and
most interesting ever held in the coun-
ty. The paper by Miss Jessie Andrews
was timely and well received, as was
also the one by II. A. Griffin. Mr..

Lincoln, touched the key note, His
subject "What constitutes success
full SCHOOL," was handled in master
ly way showing that Mr.. Branson is

in the county. Every teacher and pa
tron should have heard him. All were
interested in Mr.. Miller's presentation
of the Pupils Reading Circle, and we
are sorry that time did not permit of
its discussion. The subject of Physi-
ology was ably presented by Miss
Shellenberger. The next meeting will
be held in Extra the third Saturday i'm
April. See program next week.
Cameron township will pay $500
per month the ensuing year, Lincoln
$1,000, Viola $4,000, Melville $4,000 for
five months and $1,000 for three
months, Sharon $1,000 for second grade
and $3.50 for first grade in summer
and $3.50 for second grade and $3.50
for first in winter, and Leroy will pay
