THE LOSS OF TWO OF OUR
GREAT MEN.

Last week our race lost two of
its leaders IN educational and
religious fields. Rev. S. B. Nit
chell, president of Wilberforce
University of Ohio, who died
very suddenly as he was only sick
a few days. President Mitchell
has been at the head of Wilber-
force for number of years and
was considered one of the leading
educators of our race. He was
an able christian gentleman high
ly esteemed by all who knew him
and the University has lost one of
the strong pillars as we'll as the
church. The other man is the
we'll known and highly esteemed
veteran Baptist minister, DR..
Richard De Baptiste, of Chicago,
Ill. He is conceded to be one of
the most scholarly man of color
in the Baptist connection. He
held more positions in the Nat
ional Council than any other man.
He was 70 years old and was uni
versally loved by his wide circle
of acquaintance. He was a great
character and had noble record.
He was the church statitician and
was always found working fo,
his race and church. May such
men ever remain in our minds as
noble characters.

A furious gale swept along the coast
during the day, and according to the
story of the mate the captain thought
! he was Off Matinicus, Me-, when the

he was near the rocks OF Cape Eliza,
beth 1t was then too late to change
the course and the schooner was car

mile from the Cape Elizabeth life saw

unavoidable the men decided to takt
the yawl. and had proceeded but ;
short distance when the craft wa
swamped by a heavy sea. As the,
were heavily dressed all excepting tn
mate went to their doom. The mate
after an awful struggle in the surf
nearly reached the shore, but SAM
back exhausted and unconscious
short distance away. He was rescue
by two fishermen, who seized him be
fore he could be washed back into dee
/ water.
