BISHOP CLINTON'S SPEECH

BISHOP CLINTON SPEECH
The attempt of Bishop Geo. w.
Clinton Of the A M. E. Zion
Church to defend the policy of
President Roosevelt towards the
colored Americans at Galbraith
Church last week, was met with a
just rebuke by DR.. S. L. Corrothers
the fearless advocate of the rights
Of the colored Americans. DR.. Cor,
rothers has the respect and admIra-
ion Of the American people, not
withstanding the apologize speech
of the distinguished bishop, which
fell hat-cold water, or rather
dough. DR.. Corrothers made a
manly speech.

MIR. WASHINGTON'S ERROR

The appointment Of Secretary of
War Taft by Prof. Booker T.
Washington as one of the trustees
Of the recent fund placed in Mr..
Washington's hands for distrlbu-
ton among the colored people south
for educational purposes was a
great mistake. Mr.. Taft is no
friend of the colored people and
The Bee feels confident that his
appointment is an insult. The Bee
has the highest respect for Mr..
Washington but his efforts to in
gratiate Taft in the good wishes
of the colored Americans will not
succeed.
The President has decided not
to become a presidential candidate,
Secretary William Taft has beer
eliminated: There will be no more
Taft.
Vice-President Fairbanks Of In

dental contest.

St, Pnul's Church
 of Norfolk, Va.
BY ROSA cLIsBY JOHN.

As no section of the United States is more replete in historic interest than Eastern Virginia, no traveller ever fails to visit St. PauPs Church. Nor folks chief landmark.
 As one enters the iron gate. admira- ton and reverence arise for the rest full grounds, the quaint old tombs and the venerable house of worship.
 The present church was erected in 1739. 1t Is cruciform in shape, and its thick walls are almost entirely con- cealed by luxuriant ivy.
 In 1776, when Lord Dunmore opened a heavy cannonade upon the town, which was destroyed by fire. the walls of St. Pauls remained standing, though the interior was burned.
 The cannon ball which struck the church was found in 1s4S two feet in the ground, and cemented in the in denture in the wall, where 1t attracts the attention of thousands of visitors. It is marked by plate on which Is the inscription:
 Fired By
 Lord Dunmore,
 Jan. 1, 1776.
 Tn the vestry room of the church Is the chair in which John Hancock sat when he signed the Declaration of American Independence. It is a ma hogany arm chair, upholstered in leather. It was bought by Colonel Thomas N. Bagley of Accomac County, Virginia. whose daughter presented 1t to the parish of St. Pauis.
 The oldest tombstone in the yard bears the following inscriptions:
 Here lies the body of Dorothy Far rell. who deceased the 18th of January, 1673.'
 Another tombstone of pronounced in- terest is on the right Of the gate as you enter the yard, but does not cover a grave. On 1t is inscribed:
 Goat of Arms). Here lyeth the body of Elizabeth, the wife of the Hon. sorable Nathaniel Bacon. Esq, who de- parted this life the second day of No- yember One Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety-one. in the Sixty Second year of her age." This tomb was brought from Kings Creek, James River, at request of Rev. U. A. oke- son. Elizabeth Bacon was the wife of Col Nathaniel Bacon, cousin of young Nathaniel Bacon, the patriot of 1875.
 As the crowd hurrieB along the street where the old church stands, surrounded by her grand elms, oedars and crepe myrtle, many heart Is re- freshed by the sight of peace the old church yard affords. It is scene in vivid contrast to the hurry and bustle without-the sweet odor of the native trees with the perfume of the many hued flowers, the sacred association Of the ivy-clad church and time-scarred tombs.
 As I turned my way back to the world, I felt that I had gathered the strength that follows prayer.

 A gentleman who was in the tolls and was consequently very much in- terested in the treatment and cure or the drug habit, read testimonial from Mir. J. l.. Abbott of Virginia, which appeared in this paper some time ago. Fearing that the ease and comfort with which MT. Abbott reported he was cured of the morphine habit could not be true. he thought best to write Mr. Abbott We give MT. Abbotts reply:
 Dear sir-Yours of the 25th instant. just to hand and contents noted. and I can truthfulIy say it is all true about my taking the treatment at the James Sanatorium for the morphine habit and I am A cured man. l never suffered any only from weakness. l was surprised when they told me I was not taking any morphine. It is all true what you read in the Memphis papers about my cure. that I would rather die than lead the life I was living. I deter mined to go away from wife and fam fly. and if I returned 1t would be as cured man.
 My advice to you. if you wish to be cured. and without pain. Is to go to the. James Sanatorium and let them treat you. I feel better than I have for several years. and weigh more than I did before I commenced taking nor Dhine. I never tnlnk or or want nor phine or stimulant of any kind. hope you will go and be cured, for there is no pleasure for a man as long as he Is in morphine. I would be glad if you would let me hear from you after you take the treatment and how you get through.
 Very respectfully yours.

POWER OF THE LORDS
BRITISH PREMIER'S RESOLUTION
UP FOR DISCUSSION AT LONDON.

LONDON, June 24.-Premier Campbell
Bannerman today moved his resolution
curtailing the power Of the house OF lords
before the fullest house Of the session.
The galleries also were crowded. those
present in that part Of the house including
many peers who were anxious to observe
the beginning Of the attempt to reduce
their power to control legislation. The
resolution was as follows:
That in order to give effect to the will
OF the people as expressed by their elected
representatives, 1t Is necessary that the
power Of the other house to alter or re-
ject bills passed by this house should be
so restricted by law as to secure that
within the limits Of single parliament,
the final decision Of the house Of commons
shall prevail"
Replying to a question. the premier said
II was not proposed that the resolution
dealing with the house Of lords should
De moved in the upper house after its
discussion In the house Of commons had
been completed. He emphasized the fact
that the resolution embodies the principle
OF the predominance of the house Of COM
mons and said that in adopting this course
they were following certain historic prece-
dents.
The resolution ITSELF even If carried,
would not have the effect Of law or pro-
cure the desired results; a bill would be
necessary. and the government would ex-
ercise Its discretion as to when 1t should
be introduced. His majesty's ministers
now only desired to test the opinion of the
house and make sure they had the house
OF commons behind them. They held the
view that the house Of commons alone was
authorized to express the country's senti-
ments He declared that the only course
open was to recognize ungrudgingly the
constitutional authority which resided in
the house OF commons.

quested the Waddingtons to postpone the
wedding ceremony. and on the morning of

ton and announced his decision to withdraw
from the marriage altogether. He admitted.

a result of the interview with Bamaceda.
he drove to the home of the latter. who
was his personal friend. and after a quarrel

The contention of the Balmaceda family is
that the Waddingtons had tried to force
the marriage upon the young secretary Of
legation. and that upon his refusing they
resolved to get rid Of him.
The Waddingtons submit justification
