"a Neglected Cavalier. "

From the announced subject Of DR..
d. F. Fox's lecture, given in Assembly
hall last Wednesday evening, probably
none could have successfully guessed
his hero. Upon the daring career Of
Sir Walter Raleigh, that brilliant star
Of Queen Elizabeths court some three
hundred years ago, he based a lecture
which, beginning with the famed de-
feat OF Spain's "Invincible Armada" by
Englands hardy sailors, traced the
ascendency OF the Anglo-Saxon races
over the Latin, the romantic explora-
tions and settlement OF colonies In the
then new land OF America, and the
growth Of these scattered settlements
into the continent wide and world
respected nation Of to-day. And it was
In describing the vast possibilities OF
the United States, the unrivalled cx-
cellence OF her schools, churches and
moral standards, tina. Dr. Fox reached
his climax. But behind all this grand
achievement stands the romantic figure
OF Raleigh, "the neglected and forgot
ten cavalier" but for whose energy and
daring England could never have taken
the advance In colonlzing. The lecture
was appreciated by all and IL at times 1t
was, as he stated, "as dry as powder
horn" he more than made up for it by
the brilliance OF his close.

CHURCH TROUBLES

The trouble which arose among
some members and the pastor,
Rev. Fl. S. Graves, and was parti-
ally aired few weeks ago, and
the charges made against the
pastor was to have been investi-
gated last Tuesday evening.
Bishop Abraham Grant of this
district written that he would be
here, and instructed the Presid-
ing Elder to come. The Bishop
left his home in indianapolis last
week for Des Moines, but took
sick at Chicago, hence there was
no investigation. Rev. J r Glenn
mems Of Oskaloosa was here and
preached a short sermon. After
the close there was a little alter
cation between Rev. Graves
wife and a young lady. There
is great deal Of dissatisfaction
in the church at present.

ERECTING a HALL.

Keokuk, Ia.(Special. A not
ahis building, evidence of the pro.
ssrss Of the colored people of Keo-
snK, is in course of erection here.
1t is . two story frame building, a.
BY 56 feet in dimensions, which is
being built by the young colored
men Of the colored Episcopal church,
St. Mary the Virgin, which is to be
used on the same lines as the Y. M.
C. A. buildings are conducted. On
the first floor there will be reading
room, library, billiard and pool
room. gymnasium, lavatory, kitchen
etc. The second story will be q
large lecture hall, with platform, to
be utilized for Lectures, enterta in
ments, and select dances. Religious
services will be held on special oc
.casions when the little St. Mary's
church will not accommodate the at
tendance.
While the building will be owned
and controlled BY the young men
of st. Mary's church, it will be con
Quoted on non-seetarian lines and
the young men Of every creed may
obtain the privilege of enjoying its
pleasures and benefits. A society of
the young men will be organized
soon, which will take charge Of the
building. During its erection the
hall is entirely in the hands of a
building committee. It will be
known as st. Mary's Parish hall.
It's the hope Of those interested
that the building will be completed
about a week after Easter, when it
will be dedicated with an elaborate
programme.
This will probably be the only
building Of the kind in Iowa, hall
erected by colored young men to in
auguratc Young Mems Christian as
sociation plans and purposes on =
purely non-sectarian basis. The
hall is belag built in the rear Of St..
Mary's church, disconnected, how.
ever, from that building.
Another notable feature is that
the church IS presided over by col
ored rector, Rev. E. S. willet, one
OF the few colored priests Of the
Episcopal church in The country,
He has been here only few years,
but from the progress the young
men of his congregation are making
in the line of education and moral
principles he gives evidence of be-.
ing thoroughly alive to his work.
