Emancipation Day.

Emancipation Day is one locked for
ward to by nearly every colored per
son, not so much to reverence the an
niversary Of the day Of their deliver
ance from bondage, for these old
timers are year by year becoming
fewer and fewer, but It is looked for
ward to by the average negro as a
holiday to be spent at a picnic and
have a general good-time jubilee. The
colored people of Ardmore are cele-
brating the day at Stephens park on
the east boundary of the city with a
big free barbecue and basket picnic.
They have amusements galore and
the air is laden with patriotic oratory.
Their colored brethren are here from
the forks of the creek, and reduced
rates on the railroads brought many
visitors from out of town points. The
colored band is enlivening the occa
sion with some good music and all
seems to be enjoying themselves in
perfect harmony.

PASTOR TO MOVE TO MANILA.
1he'Nsv. ~. Nessiter to Go East to Lead
the First rresbyt erian Church There.

The Rev. DR.. 8. B. Rossiter Of this city
has been named to 60 to Manila and become
pastor Of the First Presbyterian Church OF
that city. There has now grown up in
Manila an American colony OF 10000. COM
posed chiefly of young men and their wives.
There has been talk Of church union enort
in Manila, but that effort was abandoned,
and three years ago Presbyterian Church
was organized. The first missionary there
was the Rev. James B. Rogers, and he is
still missionary. There Is needed. 1t Is
held, q man OF experience as pastor. Hence
the selection Of the Rev. Dr. Rossiter, who
goes under the auspices Of the Presbyterian
Board Of Foreign Missions. but In no sense
az a missionary.
The church worships in a rented building
in the Ermita section OF Manila outside
the walls, but It is the intention to erect a
splendid church, which shall be American
in appearance, and In some measure remind
Americans Of home architecture. Toward
the raising OF additional funds for. this
structure the Rev. DR.. Rossiter will de-
vote most OF his time before departure.
He expects to 60 by the end Of November.
He will take to Manila his wife and two
daughters.
He was for twenty-seven years the pastor
OF the North Presbyterian Church In this
city, which has been sold to make room for
the Pennsylvania tunnel terminal.

President RoosEvELTs advocacy at
Charlottesville and elsewhere Of greater
and better navy must not be attributed
to personal prejudice arising from for
mer tenure Of q place in the Navy De-
partment nor to definite expectation
Of warfare in the near future, nor to
his own constitutional strenuosity. The
President speaks as he does through dis
passionate recognition of an incontesta-

politics.
The more the United States acquires
the more it has to defend. The more
powerful other nations grow and the
more advanced becomes the programme
OF each for territorial or commercial

comes the need OF each for a naval

And eayB That "llniversity" No Longer
Gives Absent Treatment DeKreea

John f. Spence, S. T. D., LII. D., lately
Chancellor of the American University at
Hartman, Tenn, called at The SUN Office
yesterday, bringing with him catalogue
OF the institution whose standing has re-
Gently been brought into serious question.
He wished to explain that he was no longer
connected with the Hartman University
and he wished also to say that that unver-
sity had as recently as last May abandoned
it's so-called university extension" work.
whereby the higher degrees were con-
ferred by the "absent treatment" Of ex-
aminations by sentinels. He defended
the practice OF the Hartman Institution,
but admitted that it's methods in their
tunateiy identical with those Of swindins
concerns which sell bogus degrees. 1t
was for this reason, he said, that the Harri-
man institution had abandoned the SEN
tinel' and absent treatment plan.
As to Mr.. Garnet, the English preacher
whose suit for libel had precipitated tho
discussion as to Hartman, DR.. Spence said
that Garnett was introduced to him at
Ocean Grove some time ago and at once
began asking for a degree. DR.. Spence
had never seen Garnett before and had
never heard of him, but on the recommen-
whose names DR.. Spence did not recall
yesterday. the honorary degree of doctor
Of divinity had been conferred on Garnet.
DR.. Spence also said that Mr.. Garnett had
asked to be made the sentinel" for Harri-
man University in London.
The sentinel" gets out of his job Just
what the students are disposed to give
him, and DR.. Spence admitted tina it was
humanity possible that sentinel" who
had been literally paid by student might
be more favorably impressed by that STU
dents showing at examinations than by
the examination Of one whose tip had
been less liberal. The verdict of the ssp-
tinel half the examination on which
the granting Of the higher degrees depended
was conclusive.
DR.. Spence said he had written to Mr..
Garnett imporing him not to bring up the
question Of the Hartman degree by a libel
suit in England, but that Mr.. Garnet, In
spite Of cntreaties, had persisted in his
course.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, June l7.-Prof j A.
Tate, now chancellor of Hartman Univer-
sity. said to-day that the institution was
fifteen years old owned property. valued
at 500 600 and that it belonged to the asso
citation of colleges. which, allowed it
to sons! got Dr. his ea degree 's be
with other noted preachers who had
been friends of the institution Gen
James, one time Prohibition candidate
for President; Munyon, the medicine manu-
facturer, and DR.. Greenlee of Pittaburg.
Pa, had given the school three Of it's build
ings, and 1t had 200 students. H. Clay
Evans WAS at one time trustee. The
college is in the heart of the east Tennessee
mountains, 1t has turned out 600 graduates
many Of whom went as missionaries to
foreign countries. IT has four-year
illogical course, is endowed and has large
reserve fund.

Hard Sense on the Names Of Certain City
Institutions,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: In your
issue Of June 10 there is a statement that thu
names OF certain wards In the institutions
under the management OF the Commissioner
OF Charities and Correction are to be changed,
or have been changed. The reason assigned
is "a regard to the feelings Of patients and
their friends"
Insane Pavilion" might we'll be changed
for reasons OF rhetoric. And do not object
to the change on aesthetic grounds. though
personally l prefer to call a spade = spade.
But as a taxpayer l do protest against
changing the name Of "almshouse to the
Home for the Aged and lnfirm."
The name almshouse protects the city
against the burden Of providing for scores OF
people who can be supported by their rela-
tiyes but who are kept at their proper place
Of residence because Of the stigma OF the
name.
There are very many people ready, to send
the helpless ones TO the Home for the Aged
and InArm" at once who would do their duty
by them instead OF sending them to the aims
house" The opinion Of their neighbors 10 all
that controls their action, and nothing sounds
finer than "a home"
We are getting to . m audln state when
even charity has to be disguised In name.
