New President Took Charge of
Lincoln Institute Was
Science Professor in
WiIberfOrCe.

Prof. Edward A. Clarke, the new
president of Lincoln Institute ar
rived from Wilberforce, Ohio,
Monday and entered upon the du-
ties of the office this morning.
He is we'll known here where he
taught many years ago and his
friends predict for him a success
full administration of the Institute.
Prof. Clarke is man of middle
age, and is a thorough type of a
college man. He was born in the
Presidents house, in the college
campus of Wilberforce University,
which school was founded by his
grandfather, Bishop Payne, in
1856. His father and mother
both attended this school in Ohio
before the war, and both taught in
the school.
His primary education, was
all received at his mothers knee,
and he entered at the age of ten
the preparatory course of the Uni
versity. He graduated, B. A.
with highest honors in 1881, and
became principal of the high school
in Evansville, Ind, at the age of
twenty-one, having under his
charge 600 students and corps
of 13 teachers. In this position
he remained eight years, being
the only colored man in the state
of Indiana to hold a life state cer-
tifcate. He also holds life certi-
ficates in the cities of Louisville
and st. Louis.
Prof. Clarke came from Evans.
vile to Lincoln Institute in 1889,
as professor of science, and spent
three years here, so impressing
the students, citizens and the
Board of Regents, as we'll as the
patrons of Lincoln Institute
Throughout the state, that after ter
years he is now recalled to their
highest gift, the presidency.
In 1892 by civil service exam
ination, standing first out of &C
applicants, he was appointed tC
the war department in Washington
City. Taking a special examina.
tion there, he became an assistant
examiner of patents under the Gov
ernment, the only colored man in
that great office by civil service ex-
animation This position demands
high scientific and legal know
ledge combined and is eagerly
sought after by graduates of such
technical and scientific schools al

University, Ann Arbor and othel
great schools. Remaining here
three years and standing first or
the list for promotion, Prof
Clarke resigned to accept the chair
of science in his Alma Mater.
This school had already honoret
him with the degree of M. A.
granting it to him in class com
posed of such notables as ex-Presl
dent William Mckinley, then gov
ernor of Ohio, and the Hon. Fred
erick Douglass.
Prof. Clarke is an ordained min
lister and served Wilberforce il

Davis Grows Severe.

Sloan Springs, Ark, August
13.-The candidates addressed all
audience of 1000 people at this
place this afternoon. The
speeches of Governor Davis and
Mr.. Myers abounded in sensation
al though grossly vituperative
passages. Feeling between them
has run high at several times
during the campaign, but has
never manifested itself quite so
much.
Governor Davis opened the dnd
bate. AS usual, he paid his fine
poets to Harmon Remmel, cas
ton and the regular Republic,-r,
leaders.
He referred to Mr.. Greaves as
a gentleman and lawyer of high
standing-a master of two langu-
ages, English and Profane.
He said that the difference be-
tween Myers and Greaves was
Just the difference between a
black and a ginger cake negro.
He was especially severe in his
attack upon Mr.. Remmel. He
said: "Who is Harmon L..
Remmel? Oh, he is a nice
Christian gentleman, a member
of the First Methodist Church in
Little Rock. He goes to church
on Sunday and smites himself on
the breast like the Pharisee and
says, Oh, Lord, thank thee that
| am not as other men, and all
the time he is handling $500 a
year Of the money Of that poor
old paralytic, Henry M. Cooper.
He sings Praise God From
Whom All Blessings Flow and
at the same time makes old Coop
er divide salaries with him."
The remarks which he then
directed toward Mr., Myers were
peculiarly personal, He said;
"Why, you look like Guiteau, the

died just as other people some
times do and remained dead long
enough for a wagon to be sent to
Pine Bluff for a coffin. There is
nothing very strange about this.
But he reused up a few minutes
before time for him to take his
departure for the cemetery and
mounted his mule and rode all
about over the neighborhood and
told his friends that he had been
to hell and that the place was 50
crowded there was no vacancy
for him, and old Satan instructed
him to return to his body and
that he would be called again in

three days he died again, and

years ago, he addressed Myers
thus: "Why, God bless your

soul, I can't leg;slate by myself" "
At the conclusion Of each resume
which he made of the progress of
Arkansas along the lines of pen
itentiary reform and the bettering
of the charitable institutions, he
would turn to Myers and say;
"And yet you say I haven't done
anything" In addition to that
he also said at one time: "Ah,
you cape a sickly gape like a
chicken that has croaked. Did
you all ever fight chickens?
Well, when a chicken is licked he
goes TO gaping, and it amt long

Dissracefyl Scenes.

At One Of the gubernatorial
appointments the following,
which reads more like the ac-
count Of a street brawl than any
thing else, took place:
"Mr Myers then read the re-
port from Gravett, in Sundays
Gazette, regarding Ben Foreman
and a challenge to let him publish

y r ~ ~ lcan publish the letter and
he wifi donate $50 each to the Old
Ladies' Home and Orphans
Home Of Little Rock. Mr.. Myers
denounced the governors charge
that he was drunk at the Quapaw
club, in Little Rock as false.
Gov. Davis in his rejoinder,
told Myers if he ever called him a
contemplate coward again he
would kick him (Myers) off the
platform,
AT this juncture Gov. Davis
said:
"And you are a dirty coward
for getting those affidavits yes
terday and was afraid to read
them, but gave their names,
which was set of lies"
"Don't. you say I lied" said
Myers.
"Well, do not make those
charges, then," said Davis.
At this juncture, as the two
started together, they were inter-
rupted by Andrew Craiger (demo-
craft and Albert Wilson and
Millard Vanhooser republicans
getting between them and a
regular knock- down and drag
out followed.
Followed by the latter. over 100
men rushed on the speakers
stand, and it looked foc time
like bloodshed would occur, but
Gov. Davis commanded peace,
and personal appeal from Mr..
Myers and his friends soon had
the row settled, and those in the
fight were carried off the grounds
by the officers"
For the sake Of the name Of
Arkansas, Messrs. Davis and
Myers should improve their tao
tics or quit the stump.
