GOOD BOWLING.
The c. A. c. Team Took One Game
From Baltimore Catholic Club.

The {. A. c. Team Took One Game
From Baltimore Catholic Club.
The Columbia Athletic Club bowling team
went over to Baltimore Saturday night and
played a return match with the Baltimore
Catholic Club. The evening developed a
magnificent series of games. The Wash
ington players won the second game, and
bowled a string in the third that under
anything like ordinary circumstances would
have been easily safe. But the Catholic
bowiers put up a total that was of extra
bulky proportions, and, in spite of their S47
Columbia did not win.
The Catholic Club certainly comes near
being the strongest among the hundred or
more Baltimore teams. and to defeat them
especially upon their own alleys, is a per-
formance worthy of the highest praise
ana individual member Of the team
should be overlooked in the good things
that can be said about them. Every man
bowled consistently, steadily. Won BOeck-
man was particularly prominent with
double-hedderS. and Stitt had a few of that
article himself. The return of Eugene Har-
mon To the game is d matter for congratu-
laton to the club.
The bowlers had along for company quite
a party of Columbia men, and their en-
thusiastic roofing kept the affair fun of
life.
COlumbias had good deal the best of it
for while in the opening game, and were
apparently winners. The second half of
the contest threw them away behind, how
ever, and they were many pins short in the
wind-up. Their score in this game was
much below the good work of the rest of
the match.
The score follows.

BISHOP TURNER'S SCHEME
Wants One Hundred Million Of Dollars for
Expectation of Negroes.
Would Establish a Line of Steamers
to the African COast-The
Plan Discussed.

Bishop H. NJ. Turner of the African
Methodist Church announced recently be-
fore a conference in Georgia that ne IN
tends shortly to call "a great national con-
vention of negroes of the Union. Ihe
bishop stated that one of the requests
that the convention would make would be
that Congress shall appropriate S1oo,oooUeo
to meet the expenses of starting line OIL
steamers to the African coast, which shail
carry the American negroes back to their
ancestral land"
A part Of Bishop Turner's address was
as follows:
Il see no manhood future for the negro
in this country, and the man who is not
able to discover that fact from existing con-
ditions must be void of common sense.
Our civil, political and social status Is
degrading, and as degradation besetS u@s
radiation, the negro must go from pao 10
worse ad infinitum. Neither education nor
wealth can ever elevate us to the grace
of respectabIity L say this because we
are surrounded by SO many influences ihas
initiate against our manhood.
The best thing the negro can DO Is 10
call a great national convention anu ASK
the United States Congress for Sloo,ouoooo
to meet the expense of starting l-ne u
steamers between this country and Africa'
thus pioneering domain for our settle
ment. With this start upon the part OF
the general government. which actually
owes US $40, 600, 600 600 for 246 years or Ia
bor, we could build up business that
would enable US to transport to Africa as
many of our race as are fit to GO If the
United States has hundreds of millions to
throw away in useless war and for cther
foolish things. surely it Ncan appropriate
s1OO, 900 900 to the most loyal inhabitants
it has in its domain. !

"JEsUS ENsRRINED IN MUSIC" /" Rev. pr. Locke's Eloquent Discourse to a Crowded Congregation.

The Central Methodist Church on Mis- sion street was crowded at both the morn ing and evening services. In the evening the pastor, pr. Locke. spoke on Our Christmas Jesus Enshrined in Music, v taking his text from Luke ii:13. In sub stance he said:
 christianity was born with a song on its lips. Mary sang in the thrilling meas ures of the magnificat; the angels sang in their tumultuous halleluiah chorus, and the shepherds sang in pla1nuye strains Of greatest joy.--And the world has been uging ever since. Paganlsm does not sing; it laments. PagOdas and mosques do not tighten their somber ln- terlor With music; but every Christian church, however humble, is a conserVa- tory or the sweetest music to which the soul of man can listen.
 Music is gift of God. Like all the sclences, 1t is a radiation of divine truth. Pythagoras taught a close affinity be- right as far as he went. but music leads men Hp to the perpetual throne of glory The divinity of music appears in the fact that great musicians have been good men, and to make music great and to develop the mighty impulses which they have felt in their souls the great musicians have chosen lofty, important and divine themes
 Dr. Locke, in conclusion, said that the mission of music was to soften the aSPerities and antagOnisms of men and to unity the race; to refine and ennoble man. kind to brighten the shadows of life and teach men to sing songs in the night: 10 bring God down to men. and 10 bring men up to God
