Entertainers.

a large and appreciative audience
greeted the College Faculty. in the
Chapel, on last Friday evening. Sell
dom have the people OF Grenada had
the pleasure of hearing such delight

only was it enjoyed by those we'll
verSed in the arts Of music and ex-
preston, but also by those who were
unacquainted with the technic, the
artistic value and the fine rendition OF
tine numbers presented.
Miss Lawrence, the new teacher Of
Pianu, is a graduate of the New Eng
land Conservatory of Music. One had
only to sit through the performance
of the first number on the program to
learn that she iSa fine musician. Her
ease of manner, her elastic touch, her
perfect control Of the keyboard, and
her artistic use Of the pedals, showed
her knowledge of the highest form OF
music She played with soul and ar
tstic feeling, and her playing was re-
fined and finished. her technics true
and reliable. Especially beautiful
was the "NOcturne" in D-fat, by
Chopin. The melody of the right
hand was rich, full and clear as crys-
tai, while the left hand carried the
flowing, subdued accompaniment. Miss
Lawrence accomplishments added
much to the beauty and attractivenesS
of the program. AS an accOmpaniSt,
she was true and sympathetic.
Miss Wilmington the teacher Of
Expression, completely won the audi
ence with her first number, THE
Trial of Queen Katherine" Her man.
ner is pleasing and delightful, free
from affectation and stage manner
isms. She graciously responded to
the continued applause, which greeted
her at every appearance. Her second
number. ''Two in Boat" "was differ
ent in style from the first number, but
was equally as well rendered.
Miss Peck, the new teacher of
Violin, showed the complete mastery
of her instrument, and the wide range
of her artistic temperament, at her
first appearance on the platform. She
has graceful, flexible, bowling, re-
liable, true technic, and full, rich
tones. Her playing reveals sentiment
and soul, and her ease of execution
lends an added charm to her music.
Her rendition Of "enth's Romance"
was a source Of pleasure to every
musical soul in the audience.
Mrs. Clifton needed no introduction
to Grenada audience. She thor
oughly understands her art, and is al
ways at home in the musical world.
She is the happy posSessor Of a voice
of beautiful quality, rich and full.
She sings with ease and expression,

A. M. E. CONFERENCE
Met In Grenada Wednesday-Bishob Sal.
ter Presidins-Mayor Doty Makes
Welcome Adde'S.

The Northeast Mississippi African
Methodist Episcopal Church Confer
ence convened at the church of that
congregation in this city on WedneS-
day Bishop M. B. Salter of South
Carolina presiding.
After religious exercises the follow
ing officers were elected: Secretary,
Rev. J. A. Henderson; recording sec
retary, Rev. j. S. Butler; statistical
secretary, Rev. A. S. Blake; official
stenographer, Chas. Stewart.
Bishop Salter delivered a brief but
pointed address to the ministers, Civ
ing them sound and practical advice.
The routine work of the conference
was preceded with and dispatched
with commendable alacrity. Address
eS were made by different members of
the conference showing that the work
of the church was progressing nicely.
On Thursday night Hon. w. S. p.
Doty, mayor of Grenada, made an ad-
dress of welcome to the conference
which was we'll received. Mr.. Doty
assured the conference that they were
among one of the best people in the
state. A place where the white pee
pie accorded to the colored man all
his just rights and where there was
no friction among the races. He cited
the fact of the prosperity of a large
per cent of the colored people of the
town and county and the further fact
that so many of them owned houses.
He commended the work the church
was trying to do and said that he be-
lieved that large per cent of the col
ored preachers were trying faithfully
to carry the banner of Christ.
Rev. E. w. hampton, of Greenvllle,
Miss, responded to the address of
welcome in a happy vein and assured
Mayor Doty that the conference appre-
ciated his kind words and cordial well
come. He said that the negroes look
ed to the white people for leadership
and his race was trying it's best to de-
velop a higher state Of morals and
better way of living in every respect.
There were number of other white
visitors present and Rev. b. P. Jaco.
of the Methodist church, also made
short address to the conference,
The conference passed a resolution
expressing its appreciation Of Bishop
Chas. B. Galloway and offered beau |

naturalness and intelligence. Her
is particularly good, being

naturalnesS and intelligence. Her
enuncation is particularly good, being
clear and distinct. She responded to
the generous applause given her first
number, with Greene'S Sing me to
Sleep" accompanied on the piano by
Miss Lawrence and on the violin by
Miss Peck. She sang this with soul,
and deep artistic feeling. She has
remarkable control of her voice, which
was plainly evident, in her splendid
rendition of GOunod'S "ValSe Ariette. "
Mrs. Clifton is an accomplished ar
tist, possessing a clear. rich voice, a
keen perception OF the requirements
of music, and thorough knowledge
of the technic Of her art.
Grenada has just cause to be proud
of Grenada College. The head of
each branch of the College course has
been thoroughly trained and prepared
for the work ia the great educational
centers Of our country. We feel the
Grenada College faculty would grace
the halls of any school in this land.

Cannot Run Paper on Appreciation.

We have begun mailing tC our sub
ScriberS statement of their accounts
and will continue to mail statements
until we have finished our list. a few
of those to whom we have mailed
statements have already responded
and we hope all others will make Il
point to do likewise at once and thus
not impose upon US the necessity Of
sending them second statement. We
mean business. We are not chrome
dunnerS and only few times have we
mentioned unpaid subscriptions in
these columns. We appreciate every
subscriber on our books but we can
not run paper on appreciation. So
we hope that we may be deluged with
writing receipts for the next ten days.

2 and nearly three-fOurths Of the states
t are in the same column. l tell you
Y now if two-thirds Of the house were
democratic and three-fourthS Of the
5 states were democratic you could not
then repeal the fifteeth amendment.
Why Il man from the Vermont cOun-
: try can no more understand how we
will settle the race question than we
, understand it. He merely calls it race
prejudice in his vocabulary; there is
no problem. Prejudice comes from
two Latin words, prae, before, and
judicium, judgment, literally meaning
before judgment. So that prejudice
is beforehand judgment. Out in San
Francisco, a darkey goes to the best
hotel and he causes but slight atten-
tiOn; but let Mr. Chinamah come in
and it causes riot. Go down to Ed
wards house and if Chinaman comes
in we'll dressed and eats his supper it |
is all right, but if darkey comes in |
well l won't tell you what happens. |
In other words we are having our feel
ing after knowledge and you can't
give it to them unless it comes after;
| don't know how to give it to Yer
mOnter, but if l knew l am sure, l
would give him big doses. l expect
the best way would be to bring him
down here and keep him and beard
him for about three years, but l am
not rich enough to do it. Why, my
friends, when they were talking about
reducing the southern representation
in Washington, l said: IF you say
you are going to reduce southern rep.
reSentatiOn upon the ground that
Mississippi and the balance of the
south have violated the fifteenth
amendment, | will make you this
proposition, and l know l speak for,
Mississippi when do, and believe l
speak for the south: We will agree to
voluntarily vote ourselves to reduce
our representation If you will agree to
repeal the fifteenth amendment SO
that we may do directly and openly
that which we do Indirectly" Not |
one was willing to agree to the prOpO-
SitiOn. Why, one of the most Jealous
and intelligent of our Congressman
Mr.. Hardwick; Of Georgia, has been
trying all this congress to get bill on
the subject considered, but he hasn't
yet gotten a committee where they )
hear him. If anybody will tell me
how l can get Vermont, New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, :

,iful and fervent prayer for his recov-

cry.
Bishop Salter made short talk ex-
pressing his great reverence and ap-
probation of the white people. He
stated that he wore the Confederate
gray and that he was body guard to
a Confederate colonel wtO entrusted
him to bury 5000 with the injunc-
tiOn that if a yankee bullet passed
him into eternity that he was to re-
cover the $4,000 and care for his mis-
treSS. Such fate did befall the col
onel, his master, and he said that
the records showed that he complied
with his masters wish in every detail.
Such fidelity is worthy of the highest
commendatiOn and the white people
are always responsive to such acts.
Grenada is we'll wisher of the con-
ference and it is hoped that its work
may be much intensified by it's coming
here. The session will doubtless close
next Monday.

JOKE
Local Ministers Sent on Hunt
for Imaginary Bride and
Groom.

Two prominent members of the
Grand Forks clergy were busy hunt
ing up their calendars last night to
see If by any chance it was again the
LIST of April, and this morning the
same two were rubbing their eyes and
wondering if strange dream dis
turbed their otherwise peaceful slum-
bers. When they finally became aware
that bold reality stared them in the
face with calm visage they were
convinced that the practical Joker
was abroad last evening and that the
Grand Forks clergy was the principal
butt of amusement.
"Mr. -, we want you to make US
happy and marry u.s." came a per-
suasive voice over the Tri-State to
one of the lambs. Now the pastor at
the time was preparing to visit the
home of sick person and SO he ex-
planned to the anxious one over the
phone.
But you must marry US. We are
both - and we could not consent
to having another pastor do the work.
We are very anxious to get married
but If you are too busy to help US out
l guess we will have to postpone it."

realize that the happiness of two love
sick mortals depended upon him and
he faltered no longer. "All right"
he exclaimed, I'll be there as soon
as carriage can take me. The ad-
dress you say Is - Viets avenue"
A moment later the. divine was hur-
rying away to launch another pair up
on the sea of matrimony. There was
some difficulty in locating the number
but at last the carriage drew up at
what he thought was the right place.
What was his surprise to see an
other member of the clergy standing
on the walk.
Hello, what are you doing away
out here?"
"Why, l came down to marry a
couple at - Viets avenue but
can't find the place."
WHAT. So did L."
"Well, what do you -"
Lets shake hands,"
"And never tell"
mo, never a word"

THROUGH WITH SURVEY.
Drainage Work In Pembina Took Less
Time Than Estimated.

T. R. Atkinson, the assistant state
engineer, passed through the city yes
terday on his way to Bismarck. He
has completed the drainage survey of
Pembina county, and the strip from
the Red river to the foothills was tnor-
oughly covered, and the work was com.
pleted in six weeks, while 1t had been
expected that 1t would take at least
two months. Engineer Stewart of the
department at Washington is still in
Pembina county, making some cross
surveys of the river and the entire
party will be here probably Wednes-
day. This completes the drainage sur
vey of the Red river valley OH the Da-
kota side, except Richland county, for
which no arrangements have been
made. Mr.. Atkinson expects to spend
the balance of the season in the "; st.
ern part Of the state, making pralim-
mary "Reminiscences for Irrigation
work.

MAKE DENIAL
Friends of Willie Thompson
Claimed Boys Confession
Was Forced.

In the case of Willie Thompson,
whom it is alleged set fire to the Ken
nedy barn on University avenue sew
eral days ago, several influential
friends contend now that he did not
start the conflagration but was lead by
threats and fear into making state
ment to that effect. The police had
Willie in the sweat box over two hours
and his friends claim a confession was
wrung from him when the lad hardly
knew what he was saying. A local
charitable society has taken up the
case. Facts in the matter will be
thoroughly investigated and the affair
will be given complete airing in dis
trict court rooms tomorrow morning
before Judge Fisk.

A new HIGH SCHOOL
IS PLANNED FOR
1907
School Directors Figuring on
the Construction of q Fine
New $4,000 Structure.

So rapidly has the enrolment in the
Grand Forks public schools, and par
ticularly In the high school. increased
within the past two years, 1t has now
become almost impossible to accom-
modate all who apply for admission,
with special reference to the high
school, excepting by the provision OF
increased space. This proves difficult,
as the high school has been encroach-
ing year by year upon space used in
the Central building for other grades
until now, besides using the regular
high school building, some five or six
rooms in the Central building have
been pressed into service. Last year
the enrolment in the high school alone
lacked but few of being three hun
dred This year the increase will
probably bring the total enrolment
close to the $50 mark.
The board of education has practi-
cally determined upon the construction
of a fine new $4,000 building exclu-
sively for high school purposes to be
constructed by next year. There is
plenty of room on the central school
grounds for the needed building and
little trouble will be experienced in
securing the necessary funds. 1t is
probable that bond issue will be
fioated. The finances of the Grand
Forks school district are in very
fair shape, much better in fact, than in
several other of the large cities of the
state.
The construction of a new building
such as that proposed will relieve the
congestion in the central building for
several years at least, besides furnish
ing an inducement for more pupils to
enroll in the local institution. In the
new building will undoubtedly be
found many desirable improvements,
not found in the present building
