the Rev. DR.. A. z. Edwards. pastor
of Fifth Street Baptist Church, two
OF his deacons and a committee of
ladies visited the Old Folks Home

a nice sum OF money and provisions.
These friends also conducted prayer
service for the Old Folks much TO
the delight OF every one present.
Neither did Mrs. Ella Onley Wal
Ter fail to remember the Home at
Thanksgiving for on the day before
she sent many provisions to cheer
the hearts OF the inmates. The

expresses it's sincere gratitude TO all
friends who IN any way assist In the

Christmas Appeal.

The season OF greatest cheer dur
ing the year Is Christmas. That the
children OF the Friends Asylum for
COlored Orphans may share in the
good cheer OF the season we appeal
10 the friends of the needy for do
nations TO our Institution located Mt
112 w. Charity St, corner OF st.
Paul St., Richmond, Va.
We will be grateful for supplies,
of all kinds. food. clothing. fuel
dainties. toys, etc.
We wish for the public that IL
may enjoy the fats and sweets, and
send portions unto them for whom
nothing is prepared. The manage
ment of our Orphan Home finds It
self less able TO provide for the In
stitution than is usually the case,
because OF shortage In appropria-
tions or donations; and more es-
pecially since the city of Richmond
makes no appropriation TO assist IN
the care OF the orphans left to our
care.
Suitable acknowledgment will be
made OF all donations. We are
humbly yours.

THE LATE REV. DIR. WILLIAM
TROY.
An Epic.
An Epic

Prone on the fleh Of battle lies
The warrior who in honor dies,
He shirked no task; he feared no
pain.
Was at his post of duty slain.
A prince in Israel fell TO day.
Whose noble heart ne'er felt dismayi
Gods nObleman this warrior was,
Who lived and died to advance His
cause.
Loyal even unto death,
He praised Him with his latest
breath.
He drew no sword. he shed no blood.
Yet fought ne nobly as he stood
Ready TO lend a helping hand,
To all who sought fair freedom S
land
As twas with Joshua OF old
His character was OF twofold:
He led the people in temporal fight,
And won them battles by Cod y
might.
Yet as a preacher taught Gods word
And led the worship OF his Lord.
There are some dead. some living
yet
Who owe n monumental debt
To this intrepid man Of God.
Who stemmed for ttem the slavers
rod.
The old inslaver with HIS clan,
Were well acquainted with this man.
Had felt the strength Of his right
arm.
Who stopped them oft when bent on
harm
To weaker ones of HIS own race
While fleeing from tho oppressor's s
face.
He fought for us when we were tied.
To US was loyal when he died.
Those cruel days in which white men
Were wont TO inslave the black and
then
Declare that God Hin alf docreed
That those men never should be
freedl
Twas in such days that William Troy
Bore pain 20 bring his fellows Joy.
II Lincoln. Seward. Garrison.
Douglass, Garnett and Emmerson
And many others deserve high praise
Troy must be named along with
these.
Canada held no drawer heart.
Nor famed Columbia on her part
Fer nobler spirit sent to fight
For freedom. which is mans birth
right
With men of might and great renown
He is entitled 10 his crown
And at the hands of Christ the Lord.
He will receive his Just reward.

SCHOOL BOOKS HURLED.

DR.. Gordon exhibited a determina-
ton TO hold his ground. and a scene
OF wild excitement followed, in which
IL is said school books were hurled
promiscuously, some OF them going
close TO tho presidents head. There
was excitement for several minutes,
when the students. moved by a com
mon impulse, marched out Of the
chapel, hooting and singing songs.
The din In the chapel continued in
the open, the noise being heard sew
eral blocks away.
DR.. Gordon was denounced vocif-
crously. and invited in loud cries to
come out and deliver speech. The
college exercises were abandoned for
the day, and the students, hoarse and
exhausted, finally went 20 teir rooms.
The strike against DR.. Gordon Is
said to be due 10 his alleged preju-
deal conduct toward negroes IN the
appointment of teachers and the
granting of honors. II is further
stated that the students are backed
IN their rebellion by influential ne
groes in different parts OF the coun-
try, all of whom are opposed to DR..
Gordon remaining at the head of the
university.

New York Age.1

Thanks TO a faculty Tor reading
as tough as that Of Teufelsdroeck
himself we have despatched the
Presidents message. 1t is the most
universal document we have ever
coped withal. No topic, save one,
seems to have been too petty to
serve as a subject for his sonorous
and exemplary platitudes. The NAL
treatment OF dumb animals, the ex-
cessive hours OF labor imposed on
railroad employees, truancy in Wash
ington public schools, the number
OF acres which will support a Ne
braska family, the exclusion OF idi-
otic immigrants, the abatement OF
the smoke nuisance in Washington,
the preservation Of the bison-all
these vital questions commanded the
Presidents energetic attention.
The only subject under the sun
with which his pen did not busy it.
self was the plight OF decltizenized
Afro-Americans in the South. Per-
haps he esteemed this matter, COM
pared with the momentous ques-
items which did engage his rhetoric.
to be unworthy of notice. Yet. he
found time TO advocate the confer
ment OF American citizenship upon
the Porto Ricans and the Indians of
Alaska. -

Students of Howard University
seem TO have taken hint from far
on Russia, and to have proclaimed a
strike against what they conceive to
be the tyranny of those in authority
over them.
Developments at the institution
yesterday indicate that the entire
student body is in rebellion against
the head of the university, and that
they will be appeased only by the
withdrawal or the removal of DR..
John Gordon as president.
The trouble started yesterday at
the chapel exercises at noon, IN the
main hall OF the university. AS DR..
Gordon came In to open the exercises
he was greeted by Kisses, catcalls,
howls, and groans, such as only ne
gro students 700 strong could give
vent to.

given counsel for Mrs. Mollie

attorneys for Mrs. Mollie Browne

reached no conclusion in the matter
and the public is left TO surmise the
result. Rev. W. l.. Taylor's propo-
sition is that If Mrs. Smith will a
gree TO accept ten thousand dollars
In settlement IN full OF her claim,
he will endeavor to raise the amount
in four years time by special levy on
the Order. OF course there is no
penalty should he fail to raise 1t
and all he would be required to do
would be to deliver to her all that
was raised be 1t little or much.

REQUESTED HIS REMOVAL.

The trouble at Howard University
dates back several months. a COM
mittee OF graduates representing
the various departments with mem
bers representing the patrons and
friends OF the university. were ap-
pointed at an open conference held in
Galbraith A. M. L. Zion Church last
May, which presented a petition TO
the board of trustees at its annual
meeting. May 81, praying for the
removal OF DR.. Gordon as president.
The committee suggested that the
board OF trustees appoint a commit
tee TO consider the petition and such
other matters as might be presented
bearing on the conditions existing.
In a statement issued last night
by members of this committee, 1t is
stated that the FIVE months fnterven-
ing since the petition was presented
have given opportunity for negroes
throughout the country to consider
the matter and give expression to
their views. The fact has been
clearly demonstrated, they say, that
the opposition to DR.. Gordon IS not
confined to a narrow circle IN the
city OF Washington, but that practi-
cally the whole negro race is op-
posed to him bitterly. and that the
farther one gets from Washington
the more pronounced and hostile is
this feeling. II has grown among
all classes and has become a conyic-
tion that DR.. Gordon is not a at man
for the presidency OF Howard Uni
versity.
Richmond planet., 1905-12-16
DOESN'T GET RESPECT.

The statement presents the fol-
lowing propositions as indicative OF
the attitude Of the committee:
cit is q fact that DR.. Gordon does
not possess the confidence nor even
the respect Of the student body.
"The graduates OF all depart
ments are practically united against
him.
"The professors and teachers are
far from being united in the opinion
that he is the right man or an ac-
ceptable man for Pres. OF Howard u
University. A poll OF the professors
and teachers on University Hill who
are associated closely with DR.. Cor
don and como In contact with him
daily probably would disclose that
