of Prof and Mrs. J, A. Booker, of
Little Rock, Ark. The interior of the
house, which is one of the most rich
ly furnished in the city, was decorated
with a profusiOn of cut flowers, the
color-scheme of pink and white being
carried out in the masses of carna-
tions which filled large vases through
out the rooms. In the reception-hall
stood Mrs. Harris and Miss Booker,
assisted by Misses Belma Mahan and
John ID. Thompson, to welcome the
guests The honoree appeared in a
beautiful gown of white chiffon over
silk. Throughout the house the
beauty of the decorations was largely
enhanced by he pretty costumes worn
by the other guests. Miss Booker,

REV. PRESTON TAYLOR ON a
WESTERN TOUR

Monday evening Rev Preston Tay-
Tor, of the firm of Taylor & Co., left
the city for the Pacific Coast. He
went from Nashville to st. Louis. His
route reads: Kansas City, Kans., Den
yer, Col, and from thence over the
beautiful scenic road of the Union Pa
cific to Los Angeles, Cal. where he
expects to spend fortnight. From
there he will travel as far up the coast
as San Francisco and Oakland. This
trip, no doubt, will give him much
needed rest, as he has been working
unusually hard this past year, being
one of the foremost business men in
Nashville He has no idle moments,
and this trip is taken only after the
earnest solicitation of his family and
intimate friends.
DR.. Taylor stated to a Globe re-
porter in reply to an inquiry how long
he would be gone:
81 do not know am going away to
see if | can get some rest 1t may
be that | will get back in fifteen or
twenty days, and my trip may keep
me thirty days. but I shall be back
and will have had the rest needed,
because it is my intention to give
more time next year to fixing up
Greenwood Park so that it will be the
best in the city"
His return trip will not vary much
from the one going, as he will return
over the Northern road, coming
through Salt Lake City, Utah, down to
Denver, Col, and thence back to
| Nashville.

present. Prof. w. H. Card, President,
was in the chair and expressed his
ability to be there as being little short
Of miracle, because of the cowardly
attempt of a wOuld-be assassin. He
is suffering from a painful wound
Rev, Mr.. Purdy was introduced to
the Institute and spoke of his Re-
formatory School and the good results
being derived from the same. His
school is located in the Boyd Building,
and the teachers were invited to call
in and see the work. Prof. w. G. An
derson, the Superintendent, expressed
himself as being right well pleased so
far with the work being done by the
colored teachers over the country.
The following program is to be rem
dered in the next session:
Recitation by Mrs. ]. E. Miller; Ma
ture Study, by Mrs E. W. Benton Solo

Duel to the Death.

A duel to the death was fought be-
tween Ed Beard and Clarence Burnett
on Saturday night, October 12, at the
corner of Lewis and Winfrey streets
The men fought with knives. Each
was savagely carved up, but Beard got
the better of his antagonist in the
fray. He succeeded in inflicting a
stab wound which caused the death Of
Burnett in about thirty minutes.
The trouble was brought on by
what almost invariably lies at the bot
tom of all serious difficulties between
men-a woman.
That was an instance where two
were company and three a crowd and
the crowd would not harmonize. But
now there is neither company nor
crowd. Burnett is dead Beard is IN
Jail, and the woman is abroad to ac-
cept the attention of other company
This last sentence points a tale, and
were men sensible, who are disposed
to wrangle over the affections of a
woman who does not know whom she
loves, they would consider the moral
it teaches and be wise. Beard was ar
rested, but being too badly slashed uT
by the man whom he had killed, he
had to be taken to the City Hospita
to be patched up before being carried
to the police station Beard claimed
that he had fought to death Burnett
in self-defense. He was tried before
Judge Baker and bound over to the
Criminal Court.

used the Episcopal service The whole
affair reflects much credit upon Miss
Dunson, who has proven herself un-
tiring in her efforts to help the finan-
cial situation of her church. Quite
a neat sum was realized in the selling
of the tickets, three little girls running
for prizes. The first prize, a gold
watch, went to little Charlie Mai Ma
lone, who led with the amount of
$96; the second and third prize, gold
rings, were won by little LoreI Young
and Dayton Aribella Hart respective

at the first Baptist Church Monday
night, October 2S, for the benefit OF
that church.

PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The Teachers Normal Meeting was
held in this building on Tuesday of
last week. The teachers of the entire
corps were divided into classes and
the work for the year was mapped
out 1t is the intention Of the Super
intendent to have all the teachers
study some subject as long as they are
connected with the Nashville system
This keeps their minds in a studious
attitude and brings to them informa-
tion that will be of use to them In
teaching their classes. The High
School teachers will study Chemistry,
the Grammar teachers will study Test
Problems in Arithmetic, and the lower
grade teachers will study Primary
Methods in Reading.
The new brick walk across the front
yard has been completed and adds
greatly to the appearance of the school
grounds and to the convenience of the
pupils.

Shot and Killed by Rival.

Joe Edwards was shot and killed
sometime during Saturday night, Oct.
H. and his body was found Sunday
morning in the yard Of Patty Ballen-
tine, who lives at 1406 Hamilton
street. He was struck by two bullets,
one entering the breast and the other
the stomach. 1t is said that the shots
that ended his life were fired by Ster-
ling Weems. The men were rivals
for the affections of Patty Ballentine,
it is said. Weems and the woman, it
seems, were out together and were
seen by Edwards, who disliked it. He
followed the couple to the Ballentine
woman's home and started the trouble
by throwing rocks. After that act of
belligerency on his part, Weems
promptly brought his gun into action,
which ended the earthly career of Ed
wards, his rival.
After the shooting Weems made his
escape and has not been apprehended
yet. The Ballentine woman disclaimed
any knowledge of the killing, but
despite that she was arrested and is
being held at the police station until
more can be learned of the tragedy
and her connection herewith. The
woman who tries to play the DR..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde role is sure to
come to grief and bring others to the
same lamentable strait.
Despite the fact that some men see
the double game being played by their
lady-love, they persist in bing deaf to
the voice of reason, hence the almost
weekly sensational homicides whicn
shock this community.
The undertaking establishment OF
Alsup & McGavock took charge oi
Edwards remains and prepared them
for burial.

CUSTODIAN AT ROGER WILLIAMS

Droval of all. 1t became necessary to
put a Custodian on the grounds in or

ing. Then. too, there are some new
buildings to be erected before the
opening of the school, and since Rev.

REV. Mr.. JoHNsoN's RESPONSE.
There are no sentences in the Eng
lish language that can fully express
my appreciation of your kindness eX-
tended to me on this occasion, but |
hope in some humble way to render
you further service, such as will still
hold your esteem and respect. This Oc-
casion causes me to be filled with the
thought Of the vast responsibilities
that rest upon a minister of such
metropolitan church as Clark Memo
rial; standing at the head of the Ten
nessee Annual Conference, and one of
the first churches of Nashville. The
intellectual, moral and religious pow
ers should not lie dormant but should
be reused with the thought that we
are weighed by what we do and not
by what we say. There are three great
charters of the world-The Magma. The
Declaration, The Emancipation. All
three Of these were necessities of in
vention that men of nations and races
might be put on a level to show that
all men were born equal That among
| rio nF ~, i
sovereignty that must be respected
and regarded as an enfranchisement,
that must not be trampled upon. This
was in the light of the intellectual. the
moral and civil premises produced
from these three great charters. The
leader Of the Magma Charter was King
John, the leader of the Charter of the
Declaration was Jefferson, the leader
Of the Charter of Emancipation was
Lincoln These charters only refer to
the civil, political and moral aspects
Of the world
There is another charter of which I
desire to speak tonight, and it is not
charter of reproduction but of origi-
nality springing forth from the
source of the great Sovereign of the
Universe: the Charter of redemption
which makes all men equal by the ap
: probation of the blood of Jesus. Eact
( of the first three spoken Of will become
: obsolete, but the last one is eternal
and will last through all ages. Such
charter is the basis upon which Clarl
., Memorial is founded; Christ Jesus be
ing the Chief Cornerstone"
