NoRwAY's NEW FLAG.
In the Future Union with Sweden VIII
be Ignored.

De Ignored.
The London Daily Mill of re-
cent date says: Norway has just
come to the most extraordinary
decision arrived at by any govern
ment for some time.
Hitherto the Norwegian flag has
included the emblem of union
with Sweden. BY a practically
unanimous vote the Storthing has
now resolved to introduce a flag
that will take no cognisance of
Sweden, but will be purely Nor
wegian.
The Storthing consists OF ia
members, and the fact Of there
having been only one dissenting
vote when the motion for the new
flag was adopted, shows the almost
unanimous opinion of the men,
bers on the subject, and also de-
monstrates the independent feel
ing that exists toward Sweden.
Up to the present the flag of
Norway has consisted of blue
cross on a red ground, and in its
upper left hand quarter small
red, blue, and yellow design
which is supposed to denote the
union with Sweden. 1t is the
omission of the latter which will
constitute the change.
incidentally it may be mention
ed that Norway possesses the
largest mercantile fleet in the
world excepting that of England.

EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION.
HELD IN THIS CITY BY GoL0RED
 MINISTERS.
Bishop Derrick Presides and Delivers a Patriotic Speech.

The ministers of the A. N. D.. church have held an educational convention in the city for the past two days for the purpose of raising money to erect a college for the edu- cation of the negro youth from re- ligious standpoint. Bishop Wm. Beni. Derrick, of New York City, presided. and In his opening address outlined the business of the conyen- ton and discussed the importance of the negroes coming together and giving their children q religious education, hence Sorter University has been established at Little Rock.
 Bishop Derrick said that he wanted the preachers educated as well as the pews. He said that the old saying, "open your mouth and God will fill it" is a thing of the past. He said that now man would have to fill his own mouth and God would open it. He dis cussed the Spanish-American war and discouraged the saying that this was white mans war, but said that 1t was war between the United States and Spain and BIS citizens he thought the negro, in common with all other men, should go to the front and die for this coun- try If need be. This is our flag and we must protect it. he said, "and do not discuss your color and take 1t into the present crisis. He said that the North and South was about to once more wed and that the marriage certificate had already been Issued by President Mckinley in the issuance of the certificate to Wheeler and Lee. He wanted the negro to be at the front and then he would be recognized as part of the great commonwealth. Bishop Der rick concluded his remarks discuss ing dignity of the ministry.
 Key. ". c. Cox was elected secre- tary and H. G. Montgomery as- sistant secretary.
 Rev. John l.. Jenifer, of Baltimore, was present and made an address. He represents the Ministerial As sociation and is one of the leading ministers of his church.
 The convention met this morning at the St. John 4. Vi. E. church and concluded their work, reporting $1200 raised for the educational work, and about twenty preachers took out policies in the Ministerial Aid Association, of which Dr. Jeni- fer is the secretary and treasurer.
 Bishop Derrick made the closing address and the convention ad- journed at noon.

Gee Whiz ! What Next?

The editor of the Press -Eog1e pro- claims himself dictator of the Dem ocracy of this county. Here is what he said ia the Press .Eagze of yesterday, under the heading of 'sMeCoy's Plurality
 It might as well be understood by the contes tants now as later, that the old Central Committee will have charge of the work of canvass ing the returns of the late primary election.
 This is the decree that is now pro. mnlgated by the Gzar of the Press. Eagle the next day after the visit of certain Little Rock lawyers to our quiet aud peaceful county of Jeffer- son.
 Our contemporary, it will be seen from the excerpt quoted, gets itself into a predicament. It refers to the Old Central Committee, thereby eonfessing the lawful existence of a new central committee. Who be- fore ever heard of two Democratic Central Committees in one county? But our friend of the Press. Eagle has been overruled in his mad ca reer, because Mr. 6. H. Triplett, Chairman of the Old Central Com. mittee, and other friends of Mr. Mccoy on the old Committee in open Committee meeting at Elk's Hall on May II, stated before all present, that when the Democratic eonven tion met on the 14th of May, the old Committee would be dead. "Dead' is the word, Brother Murray, 'dead. , You were there. Didn' t you heari it? The Democratic con- Yention did meet on May II, in the year of Our Lord, the one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eighth, pursuant to regular call, at the Opera House, in the City of Pine Bluff, and this conyention named a new Central Committee, to serve the Democratic Party of this county for two years, as is the usual Demo cratic custom,
 We hope that the editor of the Press Eagle does not intend to re- fleet upon the members of the O.d Central Committee to the extent of saying that they would pretend to hold after their successors had been duly elected. It would not be right to make such an insinuation, be- cause it smacks too much of the aispositisn which prevails among certain of the court house officials who will not down when the De-

 Recitation, Miss Clarie Bloom.
 Piano selection. Miss Pearl Reeves.
 Defamation, Roy Carson.
 The next thing on the program was a debate, the subject of which was Resolved; That Cuba should be annexed to the United States. ? The affirmative was ably represen. ted by Miss Viola McWilliams and Messrs. Beaurie Hut and Will Crenshaw, while those who defended the negative were Messrs. Finn Hut, Jim Allen and Miss Alma DeWoody.
 The dehate was an interesting one, anu created much enthusiasm on ac- count of the present hostilities be- tween this country and Spain.
 The judges awarded the debate to the affirmative.
 After the debate the program was resumed, by Miss Claudio Well with an essay, after which Mir. Eugene Malochowsky rendered a very in- structive and interesting declama- tion.
 This afternoon the promotion cards will be distributed, and the school will be dismissed for three months vacation.
