MINISTERS MEET
Methodist and Congregational
CI0rgymen In Session To(a,'.

The regular weekly meeting of the
Methodist ministers OF Providence and
vicinity was held I'm the vestry OF the
Mathewson Street Methodist church at
1890 o'clock this morning with Rev h.
+. Simon in the chair and a good attend
ance. After tho regular reports and a
brief discussion concerning spiritual con-
ditions in the various churches OF the
NJ. L. church timely and interesting
sermon was delivered by the Rev Thomas
Eldridge Chandler, s. T. ID. of Newport
on the topic. Religion and Manhood. p"
In beginning the speaker raised the
question Of the critic. Docs the Chris
tian religion develop a better manhood
than irreligion or no religion and took
the ground that tho Christian religion
does develop better manhood than ire
ligion. The FIRST proposition discussed
by the speaker. To prove his argument.
was that true manhood is born ~and de-
veloped only I'm an atmosphere Of free
dom. moral and spiritual freedom
The speaker contended that the unre-
generate and unsaNcd lived I'm an atmos-
phere OF slavish fear OF consequences. lie
next brought out the fact that some re-
ligions deal with the element OF fear
and showed also that no true manhood
could develop under such conditions. The
speakers second proposition was that a
recognition OF the being and personality
OF God is necessary to the development
OF true manhood. The third proposition
was that the Gospel presents the prin-
ciples upon which true manhood Is work
ed out; though man may fail I'm the eyes
of the world. he may live i'm the highest
and best sense.

Board of Pardons.

A new era for the Board of Pardons
commenced February 9Th, when Gov
ernor Peabody presided for the first
time. In his message the governor
recommended that the board be abol-
ished, and when the meeting was
called to order last night he made a
short address. outlining his policy in
regard to pardons. He said that when
man had been clearly convicted he
saw no reason why the sentence
should not stand. He would consider
pardons only when new matter came
up after the conviction. He did not
approve. he said, of pardoning on ac-
count of the mere fact that thoy were
in Jail for n long time. 1t was the
business OF the courts to pass the sen
| tence.
In spite of the fact thar the COVER
nor did not approve OF its existence,
| Secretary Stonaker seemed deter.
mined to convince him that the Board
OF Pardons was not useless. He pre-
sented long list of applications. and
the session lasted until nearly 1890.
when Just two cases were reported IA
vorably. One was that of John Mc.
Donald, sentenced from Pueblo in 1901
| for three to five years for forgery. II
was claimed that the alleged forgery
was nothing more than bar room
row. Mcdonald. it is said. was drunk,
and passed over the counter a check
for $3.50, forged. He was recommend
ed for pardon.
The sentence of Charles Grabert.
sentenced from Lake county in 1902
for embezzlement for from two to two
and half years, was commuted to
July l, 1903. The plea was that Gra-
bert, during the hard times, took ad-
vantage of the fact that he was Gus
todian OF the funds of the Ancient Or
der of United Workmen, and that he
took money which he intended to pay
back. There Were several of his cred
itors who appeared before the board.
The board decided to further inyes-
tigate and to take under advisement
the application for the pardon of John
w. Buhrlage.

DENVER EXPECTS TO SECURE
NEW PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE

Denver. Feb. .7.-The Republican this
morning says:
1t has been practically decided that
the new Presbyterian college which
will be founded this year in Colorado
is to be located in Denver. The COM
mittee on location. of which Rev. r. F.
Coyle is chairman. will meet in Pueblo
on the 18th, when 1t is expected that
the plan will be formally sanctioned.
There are four places under consid-
GRAFTON, Canon City. Pueblo. Colorado
Springs and Denver. 1t was agreed
that the college should be located at
the place where the greatest induce
ments were offered, and 1t is for this
reason that Denver will probably be
chosen. AS It is the plan of the Pres
byterian church to make the college
one of the largest in the West, there
has been lively competition among the
various cities under consideration. Pu-
eblo offered S25 900 in money and thir-
ty-one acres of land Canon City and
Colorado Springs both offered money
and land.
But Denver has SO far the highest
bid. Should 1t meet with the approval
of the committee, the Westminster I'M

SECRETARY OF WAR DISCUSSES
RIGHTS OF COLORED CITIZENS

seen within the past year. President
Roosevelt has appointed fewer black
men than President Mckinley, and
there are to-day fewer black men hold
ing office than when Mckinley died.
Yet loud outcries are to be heard in
the South about President Rooseyelt's
policy OF appointing black men to of
flee in the South. Under previous
presidents. Mckinley. Cleveland. Har-
rison and back to Hayes time. more
negroes were appointed to office and
nothing was said.
"a black man attended an official
reception in Washington at the White
House short time ago.
THE black man. as an official OF the
government. had always attended
these receptions. Yet the invitation
of the President to this man was the
signal for an outcry of a thousand pa
pers in the South that the whites were
being insulted.
81 don't want to argue this question
am only showing that we have to
face a change of feeling in the South.
where the black man is denied the
right to aspire to the highest there is
in American citizenship. The right to
aspire to the highest dignity. which
was formerly unquestioned, is now
questioned. In a short time the white
man will succeed in excluding the
black from all offices in the southern
stats.
I'VE can never throw OFF the respon-
sibility that rests upon our people for
the welfare Of these black people that
we held in slavery for SO many gem
erations.
Now that the first attempt has
failed. the question is what to do. and
it should take the greatest minds of
the country"
