Declamatory Contest, April 10.

The declamatory contests here
have always been occasions of much
interest to the people. Anything
| pertaining to education receives the
commentator and support and
generally the active cooperation of
the people of this city. 1t is a
source of satisfaction, exu1tation,
to see young people striving to i'm
prove their minds, eXerting them
selves to secure an education.
These declamatory contests are
valuable aids in discipline and in
centives to renewed and continuous
endeavor. The encouragement that
young people receive from their
elders when striving to do we'll is of
immense value to them. The child
works more for this approval than
he does for the real value of his
educational acquisition. And this
is not to be wondered at. The APP
probation of those he loves is a
pleasing remuneration for his work
and the value of an education he
cannot appreciate until he finds the
occasion for it's application. Let us
go to the M. E. church Saturday
night and give the children the good
cheer of our presence and voiced
appreciation. Following is the pro-
gram to be rendered Saturday night:

Rabbi Hirsch.

DR.. Emil HirSCh was greeted by a
large and appreciative audience up
on his appearance at the M. E.
church Tuesday evening in his lee
ture on Facts and Fiction About
the Jews"
DR.. Hirsch is a profound scholar,
theologian of distinction and an
authority upon Jewish history, re-
ligion and Jurisprudence. He is an
orator of force and convincing eff
fectiveness. His sentences are
compact, terse and strong. His
choice of words is judicious. His
frankness, fairness, sincerity and
liberality of views win instant at
tention and ready sympathy. His
logic is so convincing that it would
be difficult for any minded man
to dissent from his conclusions or
controvert his arguments.
The lecture of DR.. Hirsch was the
most instructive one of the whole
course and every one that heard it
is wiser and better for having heard
it. Every one who listened to Mr..
Hirsch will have a profound respect
for the man and cultivate a more
charitable judgment towards the
Jews as a sect.
1t was probably a pleasing sur
prise, revelation, to most of those
who heard the lecture Tuesday
evening to know that the Jews hold
Christ not as an imposter but as
the greatest of the prophets, a di-
vine teacher, messiah, and we may
the more readily realize that differ
ence in creeds is of little conse-
quence, TO those who sincerely seek
to know what is pleasing to God.

Righteous indignation.

THAT last remark reminds me-" said
DR.. W. E. Chappell last night, as he
came up to a group Of detectives and
railway agents who were conversing
over in one corner Of the union depot,
about one time years ago when I was
called up In the night by an aged ne
gro whose wife was 'pow'ful sick
HE raped on the door for quite a
while before getting any response. At
last I half-opened the door.
"Ah wants to see DR.. Chapel said
the negro.
"'The doctor is not here, ! an
swered. Jl-....,s.l
"Now yo' looka here said the me-
gro, Ah knows dat voiceS rse talk
ing to de doctah right now
Seeing that he had been caught the
doctor said he got up and asked the
fellow what was the matter with his
WIFE
"'She's pow'ful sick, doctah,' was all
the negro could explain in regard to
the case.
"Now, look here said the doctor;
do you know what 1t IL going to cost
you for this trip? It will be just IS
BILL
The negro said that It war a pow
full price, but he guessed he'd have
to go as his wife would have no other
DOCTOR" It was at the time when there
was no other means Of passenger traffic
except by mule car, and the nesro's
house was down back Of the Armour
plant. The doctor said he refused to
walk and made the negro hire car
riage, which cost him another 81 bill.
When they arrived at the house ne
found the woman suffering from
plain case of Mysteries. The doctor
said he prescribed little valertate OF
ammonia and went across to a drug
store to get 1t. The old negro went
along. When he got the medicine,
which cost IS cents, The negro asked
the doctor If he thought it would do
his wife any good.
"Oh, yes, she will be able to get
breakfast all right" he informed him.
whats the matter wild my poor
wife, doctah?" asked the negro.
Look here" said DR.. Chappell.
what have you and your wife been
fighting about? You have made your
wife mad and she has hysteria."
Say, doctah, do you mean to stan
there an tell me that's all what ails
dat niggah?"
Yes, sir"
well, lemme tell you somefing, doc
tah," said the old negro; do yo' think
when goes back to de house rse go
In to glib dat niggah any OBJ dis med
icine. No. sab, doctah, Use gwine to
kill 'er. She's done cost dis niggah
