 ccnsed Millionaire.

ccnsed Millionaire.
 New York, Feb. 21-Foilowing the sudden death of Edward C. Brown, capitalist of Jamestown, N. Y., in the Hotel Manhattan q week ago, Monday there has been begun an exhaustive search for negotiable securities, worth nearly $5o0,0o0 now missing, which his friends and business associates de- clare Mir. Brown had in his possess ion as late as Saturday afternoon
 Whether MT. Brown placed it in safety deposit vault or left with firm of brokers, or was robbed. cannot be definitely told. All financial centers, East and West. particularly in the oil belt, have been notified to be on the outlook for the property. Mir. Brown. who was about 35 years old, was well known as an oil producer and the tn- vestor. His home was Tn Jamestown, but hts business was carried on in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and In- diana. He was wealthy and with va- rfous business associates owned prop erty of great value.
 MT" Brown came here early in Jan- uary, bringing with him oil certificates and oil leases, which it was thought would be sold to foreign investors or to the Standard oil Company. The coroner decided that death was due to nat ural affection of the heart, but it has been suggested since the discovery that the property was missing, that he may have been a victim of "knock-out'' drops

Big NIethndist CoIlege.

-. Birmmguam il seems certain, is te have l great Methodist college built on the foundation already laid at owen ton.
 As has been stated heretofore, it has been decided practically that the North Al a5ama Conference and the Alabama Conference will unite in the support of the Birmingham college at Owenton. and that the Southern University will be consolidated with that institution. According to the terms of the report of the Educational Commission, adopted recently by .he two Conferences, this unification is conditioned on the erec- ton of buildings and the provision of equipment at owenton adequate to the demands of the large patronage of the two conferences.
 It is the nu pose of the adm nistra- tion of the Birmingham college to un- dertake at onre tn work of raising $I00 900 to be expended in bringing tue physical edpipme~t of the college up to the etaraard where the union of the two Conferences and he consolidation of the two schools can bo accomplished or this amount Robert Munger. nt Birmingham. has subscribed 21,000 Mir. Mungcr's subscription is condition ed on the raising of the entire amount Of $10O,O00. Pans are being matured also by which 1t is thouRnt that sub stantial endowment fund will be sc cured.
 Those who are in a position to know the real situation, say that BIrming' ham has now the opportunity to SC cure an institution of learning that il dsetined to take rank with the leading colleges of the South. The raising ol a comparatively small amount o1 money by the Methodists of Birming- nam and North Alabama will insure the building up on a large scale of the Birmingham college.

ADDRESS FOR FAIR
MOBILE NEGRO TALKS OF RAGE
 EXPOSITION.
Newsome Urges Montgomery People To Aid fin Pr0ject-Wants Exhibits From All Parts of the
 South.

In the interest of the National Negro Fair to be held four years, beginning with the coming Fall, in Mobile, Rev. Fl. N. Newsome, President and General Manager of the Fair, deliv- cred an address last night at the St. Johns A NJ. E. Church. of which Rev. W. c. Banton Is pastor.
 Rev Newsome invited the support of the negroes of Montgomery in the Fair enterprise in which he believed all ne- groes, having race pride. shou Id be mutually interested. The Fair, he said, will reflect credit upon the whole race. It is to be national in It's scope and character. and, according to the speak CT, has for it's purpose the exploiting of the progress of the negroes since emancipation. He declared 1t would be negro fair-of negroes, by negroes and for neqroes-such fair never hav- ing been held.
 Already s11O.ooO. the speaker said, had been subscribed to the enterprise, and it has the pledged support of more than 100 of the foremost negroes in the country. He told why Mobile had been selected as a point accessible to the ne- groes of the South for holding the Fair, and he raid a high tribute to the abil- ity of Mobile to take care of such gatherings.
 Subscriptions to the Fair fund were earnestly urged by Rev NeWsoine, al- ter presenting figures showing how much money could be given for this purpose even at the figure of ten cents per week per capita.
 He appealed strongly for the awak- enins of the negroes that they might seize the opportunities offered them in the South. In spite of all the dis advantages under which the race lives he said, there Is still chance 10 make sure and permanent their racial wei. fare in the South. and to remove many of the obstacles in the way of negro generations to come. Tn closing, he | made a plea for education and urged exhibits of every kind from Montgom- 1 cry.

A big fireplace is mighty queer
An must be treated right,
Or else it IS NOR n like as not
You'll sit an freeze all night.
The fire you'l Ii coax, an give it pokes,
But if it's mad, it only smokes.
When grandpa's home, we're always
hot;
He piles wood high an higher,
With kindlin', sticks an bark until
We can sit near the fire.
Then grandpa pokes and father jokes
About his fire that flames and smokes.
So next night father says he'll show
The way fire to build,
An brings backlog in so big
The whole fireplace is filled.
OF course it smokes, then grandpa
jokes
An laughs, while father pokes an

But when they both are gone away
Our old fireplace is great
We sit up close an mother sews,
An tells me stories that she knows,
An let's me stay up late.
When no one pokeS it never smokes;
So me an mother have our jokes
All to ourselves, about some folks!
