bound by his famous dissertation on
'The Mighty EateTs-Fire, Water, SIN
and Death" DR.. Bryant has sIong.
ZEE onant voice, magnificent ph gsique,

and director Of the "Amphion Glse
Club" which will soon celebrate the
tenth year of it's existence, and which
has appeared before the President of
the United States, members of the Cab
met, and people prominent in social
and official life. Prot. Lewis is also
the director of the Asbury church
choir. He is Identified with other mu'
sical enterprises, and is very earnest In
his work. He has selected fifty of the
best ameteur voices for the "Pirates OF
Penzance," and has succeeded in secur-
ing a very capable company.
The stage will be in charge OF one
of the best local managers; the costumes
will be furnished by first class theat'
rical outftter, and the music by a
selected orchestra. The idea is to en-
courage patronage for the advanced
class Of music the colored people,
and Prot. Lewis is fitted by his educa'
ton and musical ability to foster such
a move among his race. The enter
tainment will evidence the culture
along lines delineating the advance
ment of the best element OF Afro
Americans.

work at any and all trades. We buiid

was likely because some of them insisted
on making a cross mark.
In reference to the Humphreville matter
Mr. Banner again explained that the
city's books showed that the city owed
Hrmphreville s147 10 and that Humphre-
willie claimed only sl17.10, and that he
made out two warrants, one for SLY III
and another for $50. He was quite sure
that Humphreville never got the $50 war
rant.
In reference to the charge OF paying
police officers without a properly made
out roll witness said that Henry Thomp-
son had never made out a roll and had
no right to. He made out the roll him
self and the men got their pay and
were entitled to it.

said he remembered that there was some
dispute about the amount que Mr.. New
ton. He gave him first a warrant Tor
$40, and when he calimed that more was
due he looked at the ledger and saw
that s26 was the amount. whereupon he
gave him another watrant for Sl6.
Mr.. Banner made the statement that
he had been mistaken in asserting that
there was $4,000 in outstanding scrip. He
had looked at the books since and found
that there was but $4,000 outstanding.
