A Little Encouragement.

j. L. Toole was once entertained by q
party of Edinburgh gentlemen at din
ner. After the cloth was removed lit
tie sociability was INDUCED in, and Mr..
Toole was asked to give recitation.
This the veteran comedian sternly de-
clined to do, A worthy baillie, whose
knowledge of things theatrical was
somewhat primitive, approached Toole,
patted him ON the back and said in a
fatherly way: Come AVA, my man

A MORTGAGE RULING.


Judge Hasen Makes nm Important Deci-
sion About Debts on Property
TOPEKA, Kan. March ls.-ln the
Shawnee county district court yester-
day Judge Hazen made an important
ruling in a mortgage case, involving
the question, ''if there is a mortgage
upon property for which the owner Is
not personally liable, then does the
buyer, II he assumes and agrees to pay
the mortgage become liable for ilY
In other words, can the grantee be-
come responsible for the payment OF a
mortgage when the grantor was not?
Judge Hazen said: There can be no
reconciliation OF the decisions on this
point. Illinois and Pennsylvania hold
that the grantee, or buyer, Is person.
ally liable. New York, Ohio, New
Jersey and, according to my reading OF
the decision OF the supreme court OF
the United States, hold the other way.
think our supreme court has gone as
far on this question as 1t cares to. !
think the better reason is with New
York Ohio and the others. Unless the
prantor is personally liable for the
mortgage the grantee does not become
liable for it by assuming payment in

ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST
 EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
How in 2lat Annual Session at
 Fordyoe-The Proceedings.

FoRDYtE, ARK. Nov 12-A large number ui distinguished visitors were present at the opening of the conference this morning. Bishop Derrick called the Conference to or der promptly at 9 o'colock and Rev. Dr. D. K Turner lined the opening hymn and the Rev & L. Winstead made the opening prayer. pr. ! l. Lowe conducted the ritualistic services and Prof ] E. Carter read scripture lesson.
 In declaring the conference opened for business Bishop Derrick spoke of the importance of the members giy- ing their attention strictly to busi- ness. He gave the ministers a practical lecture on the duties of a preacher of the gospel. He was op- posed to preacers walkink through the streets pufiing away on cigars and the like, and did not hesitate in expressing his diapproyal of the evil.
 lie wanted the standard of the ministry raised, and this was the starting point.
 He had come to this State to work for the elevation of his race, and as the preachers were the recognizid leaders they must be in reality. He wanted them to educate or they woul perish. "No man will be ad- mitted into these conferences" he said, "who cannot pass a creditable examination, and the men who are holding charges, if they expect to continue them, must study"
 Rev. Dr. L. ". ". Manaway, the distinguished physician and travel ing companion to the Bishop, was to the Conference and made short address.
 He was pleased to note the im- provement that was being made by the members of his race in this State. He said that he felt encouraged, and predicted better things for the color ed race in the South.

over $2,00O had been used by the school during the past year. His report showes that the race was making rapid progress along all lines and especially education. Bishop Wm. B. Derrick presided during the day.
 Every available seat in the church was occupied in the church and it was impossible to gain standing room. Rev. L. W. W, Manaway, of Miss made a practical business talk from to s o'clock. He told the col0red people to save their money and get education which would soon win for him q place in the world. Dr. Manoway is one of the most noted negro physicians in the coun- try and is posted on the matters of his race.
 The services were opened by Bishop Vim. P. Derrick, D. D.. who lined a hymn. He stated the object Of the meeting and closed by introducing Rev. Dr. Thos. H. Jackson. Pieti- dent of Shorter University, who made the opening address. sbeaking on the importance of his race bcc0m- ing educated. He has been engaged in educational work for the past 26 years.
 Prof. John R. Hawkins. A. NJ. com missioner of education of the A. M F. church was the next speaker He said in part:
 "The educational department of the A. NJ. E. church represents one of the most important factors in the uplifting of. humanity and the enlightening of the negro race. Our several schools, colleges and univer- sites are the opponents of the most practical training, the deepest thought and broadest culture.
 "Willbeforce University, Allen Uni versity, Kittrell College, Paul Quinn College, Morris Brown, Shorter Uni versity, Edward Waters College, The Western University and thirty others covering the land, here and there stand as beacon lights reflect ing rays of light from shore to shore.
 "Our motto is better homes; better workmen; better teachers and bet ter ministers.
 "The purest sentiments and prin- ciples of the most exhalted character must pervade every heart and every home.
 "Our workmen must learn to put their brain into their fingers, and apply their tools and brush with skill. Our teachers must aspire to the highest development of mind and soul. Cur ministers must stand as the representative of the deepest piety with profound thought and exhalted character.
 What we need most is strong class of the most representative"
