A PLEA FOR THE OOLORED ME.
OHANlO.

Trained men YOU have with you who're
worthy and true,
Mechanics we'll skilled who can all
your work do,
Why not then employ them and give
them a chance,
In works of skilled labor to make an
advance
just give them a chance, friends, to
show up their skill,
They'll work if you'll let them. and
work with q will;
But pay them their stipend when thav
shall have done,
Nor ask them to labor from sun unto
sun.
You've houses to build and to keep in
repair,
And clothing and hats, boots and
shoes you must wear,
And then you must eat and must drink
ana must sleep;
And ships you must have to sail safe
Ger the deep.
A thousand and one other things YOU
demand,
That you may exist and remain in
the land,
And most of them call for the hand
trained in skill,
To form and adapt them their mia.
sion to fill.
The coiored mechanic, tits his claims
l plead,
And beg that you call him wben vou
shall have need.
VI skilled hands to labor or trainad
minds to guide,
For, that he'll be faithful cannot be
denied.
his race of all others whom ne lives
among,
should strive hard to wipe out his
m not burning wrong
Ane heartless oppression which he's
subject to,
BY giving him work when thav bsve
it to do
Trades unions and clioues ara the
means used to kill
Inc coiored mechanic and send him
The land of the white man as he did
before ~'N
The war was yet over and he the
yoke bore,
No white boss will give him a DAVIS
work to do,
Because he's not named as q union
true blue,
And yet from the union in ways most
polite.
He's barred just because his black
skin is not white.
So widely broadcast is this spirit now
spread.
To keep from the colored mechanic
his bread.
That former white friends of his dowr
trodden race,
Who once did Defriend them now Gu
them apace.

The Court Street Baptist Church
trouble at Lynchburg, Va, has at last
eliminated in the defeat of rev. P f.
Morris, d. D., and his retirement from
the pastorate of that body.
There seems to have been no specific
charge against the Rsv DR. more than
they had "gotten tired of his methods"
and "lust didn't want him."
THE PRAYERS ON. N..CHURcH-MRETISG NIGHT
On a regular church meeting night,
large number OF the dissatisfied MEM
hers gathered. and although Rev. Nor
ris conducted a prayer-meeting they
waited until his supporters were tired
out singing and praying, and proceed
ed TO elect chairman protein and al
ter " ,Ating the deacon-bosrd, declar-
ed the pulpit vacant.
Quite clash took place on the SUM-
day following between the contending
wings" of the church. Rev. DR. Nor
ris secured an injunction from the
Corporation Court and Judge Chris
tian ordered the sheriff To take charge
OF the keys of the chdrch, locking the
same against both of the contendiug
elements.
Bnth took dispositions. The meeting
at which Rev. Morris was voted out
was set aside. The case was referred
to commissioners Messrs. A. r. Long
and q. Z. Caskie, who were instructed
to hold q special church meeting Fri
day, May 20. 1898, and take a vote of
the bona-fide members OF the church.
as to whether Rev. P. F. Morris, d. D.,
should continue as pastor and Messrs
]. w. A Pride. w. J. Galloway, Armis-
tead Pride, Thomas M. Coles, Vaul
Jones, James Glover, George d. Grimes
Henry Green, Jack son Wells, William
Bryant and Benjamin Shelton shall
continue deacons of the Court Street
Baptist Church.
THE OPPOSITION WINS BY LARGE MA
JoRITY.
The vote as reported stood 800 for
Rev. DR.. Morris ana 637 against him,
and 822 for the deacons and 623 against
them.
Thereupon, City Sergeant s. H.
Johnson was instructed to deliver the
keys to the church building. the build
ing itself and all of the property of the
said church which may have come TO
his hands as such receiver to the trus-
tees of said church, who are to hold
the same subject to the will of the
majority of the members Of the said
church. City Sergeant Johnson was
allowed $50 for hls services as receiver
and the two commissioners $25 each
The expense was divided between the
cOntending parties.
Rev. DIR. Morris and his supporters
have purchased fine site on 9Th ST.,
and will erect handsome structure.

the meeting. Quiet reigns once more

NAVAL OFFICIALS SKHPTICAI.

They Point Out the lmprobaIity of
the Reported Battle.
Washington, June Naval officials
absolutely discredit the news from
Cape Haytien TO the effect that Com
modore Schley forced an entrance to
Santiago bay aud engaged the Spanish
heet in the harbor While no official
advices have been received from Com
nIOUOre Schley since the battle is re-
ported to have occurred, the naval Of
ficials declare with positiveness that
1t is not only improbable, but in tha
circumstances almost impossible that
an attempt should have been made by
the American commodore to force an
entrance to the bay.
The latest official advices received
from Commodore Schley were con-
tained In a cablegram which came late
yesterday afternoon, and the commo-
dore gives no indication of an intep-
tioh to try to enter the harbor of San
dago. While the contents OF the dis
patch were not made public the bull
lsttn issued upon it by the navy de-
partment indicates that Commodore
Schley is still endeavoring to deter
mine just what Spanish vessels are in
the harbor. The bulletin follows:
Commodore Schley's feet has sight
ed another vessel of the Vizcaya class
in Santiago harbor."
The naval officers declare that Schley
would not endeavor to force his way
into the harbor in view of the great
difficulties of navigation which would
have to be surmounted in the effort.
The entrance to the harbor is a chan
mel nearly three-quarters of a mile in
length and at one point only about
a hundred yards wide. While the
channel has plenty of water to float
the ships it is tortuous and at places
dangerous Shore batteries line both
sides Of the channel, and a vessel run
