THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

The jamestown Exposition will soon
swing open its majestic gates to the
world. That the Negro will play a con

which was invented and patented by
R. L. Woods, including engine, auto

is TOM COZ ALIVE?

Two Sundays ago a Globe reporter
was passing a very noted saloon in the
business part of Nashville and heard
a part of a very interesting conversa-
ton regarding the possibility of Tom
Cox being alive. 1t will be remem-
bered that Tom Cox was tried and
sentenced to be hanged in this city a
year or more ago. He was charged
with the murder of a policeman and
just a few days prior to che execution
it was announced that he had COM
mitted suicide, thus cheating the law
Of its claim. 1t had been heard fire.
quently that the real Tom Cox is not
dead, but alive, but this rumor has
never been substantiated by any
proof. The conversation in front of
this saloon was to the effect that Cox
had been seer only recently. One of
the party made the statement that
he would bet his life that he saw Tom
Cox in Chicago last month. The news
and the remark came so unexpected,
that it caused the reporter to retrace
his steps, but evidently the three men
noticed that he was trying to catch
some of the conversation and it was
changed ere he could hear more re-
marks that would lead him to make an
investigation. Authorities in Nashville
know that Cox committed suicide and
his remains were moved from the Jail
of Davidson County. Was this his
ghost that was seen in Chicago? Who
can answer?

A SLICK THIEF.

There has been operating among
the residents Of Patterson street an
extremely slick thief and a Negro
thief. Several days ago he was up
and down the street trying to hire
some one to do some washing for a
white family Of the West End; when
the lady went to look for the place she
found no such people living anywhere
near. The man returned in a few
days, went to another house in the
neighborhood and pretended that he
had just found a large sum of money.
After questioning the lady very much
as to how she lived, whether she
owned her place, who took care of
her and where she kept her money,
he offered to give her one dollar in
return If she would let him use five
dollars of her change for a few min
utes. This lady did not yield however.
lie was in the neighborhood again
Wednesday, entered another home,
found an old lady and told her that
lie had some large bills and wanted to
make some change for a man who was
in the street and if she would let him
have six dollars he would return the
six and give her n for the use of it
as soon as he could go down on Cedar
street and return. The lady, who is
feeble, went to her landlady, borrowed
the six dollars, gave it to the man, who
left and has not returned from Cedar
street yet. She became alarmed
when he did not come back in a rea-
sonable length Of time, and reported
the matter TO the police. They were
busy all day Wednesday catching and
carrying different colored men to the
residence for Identification.

PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The enthusiasm of the colored
teachers has reached a high pitch
over the subject of Manual Training.
The surprise was great when every
teacher was ordered up by the Super
,ntendent for a first lesson. The in
terest was greater when Miss Ethel
Northern, a teacher of manual train
ing in the white schools, began to in
struct the teachers about the mean
ing and use of the loom, the darner,
and the weaver. But the awkward
ness, the laughter, the nervousness,
the success, the failure, the fun, were
greatest Of all. The ladies did finely,
but it was certainly amusing to see
the big hands Of the men, holding the
warp in one hand and trying to thread
the darner in the other. Their fin
gers got heavier, the warp grew wider
md the eye of the needle q forgot,
our teacher told us not to say needle),
| mean the darner, became smaller.
Great drops of %perspiration burst out
on the mems f%oreheads, their fingers
got stiff and refused to work, their
knees trembled. Excitement was
high. In the bewilderment of this
new experience some forgot how
many inches made a foot, and when
told to measure half an inch, many
measured a half a foot.
The ladies made a splendid begin
ming. In tying the seamstress' knot,
in measuring quarter inches, in put
ting in the warp and wool, in thread
ing the needle Il forgot AGAIN., | mean
in threading the darners and weavers,
their light, nimble fingers were per-
fectly at home. Some of the rug
work was lovely and elected praise
from the teacher; but the other work,
well; let hat pass, the less said, the
better. Your reporter heard many
compliments passed on Miss North
ern. She is certainly an expert teach
er, Patient. kind, painstaking, gentle,
proficient, energetic, she has made a
profound impression for good on the
colored teachers. The Manual Train
ing Glass will meet once a week on
Tuesday, and your reporter will keep
the Globe informed.

SOME BORDEN TROUBLE.
Special to the Globe.
San Antonio. Texas.

San Antonio, Texas.
There are at large on the Texas Dor
der between Texas and Mexico so
many outlaws and bandits that at
times life is almost continually in
jeopardy. The following is but a sam
pie:
A special from Mazatlan, Mexico,
says:
six Rurales, as they lay asleep in
the shelter of rocks in the vicinity of
Topic, were butchered by the notori-
Gus bandit. Enrique Chavez, and his
band. Ranchmen and farmers in the
Topic district are in a condition bor-
dering on panic, as it is rumored that
Chavez has gathered around him other
men as bloody and cruel as himself.
Many efforts have in the past few
months been made to capture Chavez,
but his luck, nerve and knowledge of
the country have always saved him"
It was Oh the Texas border where
the late Dick Wallace, of Texas, was
killed, and it is also known that FIT.
Brown at Brownsville is on the bor-
der. There are continued efforts by
both governments to apprehend these
outlaws.

Of the word of the Lord, setting forth
the principles on which the church gov

The rights Of the priesthood are inseP-
srably connected with the powers OF
heaven, and jhe powers of heaven can
not be controlled nor handled only upon
the principles of righteousness. That
they may be conferred upon men is true;
but when they undertake 10 cover their

can or ought TO be maintained by virtue
of the priesthood, only by persuasion, by
long suffering, by CeDtleDeSS and meek
ness. and by love unfeigned: by kindness.
and pure knowledge. which shall greatly
enlarge the soul without hypocrisy and
without guile,
Nominations 70 cbUrch Office may be
made by revelation. and the right Of
nomination is usually exercised by those
holding high authority, but il is a law
that no person is 10 be ordained to any
office in the church where there is a
regularly organized branch of the same,
without the vote of its members This
law is operative as to ell officers of the
church from the president down to the
deacon. The ecclesiastical Cove, nment it
self exists by the will of the people; cleo
tons are frequent and the members are
at liberty to vote as they choose True
the elective principle here operates by
popular acceptance. rather than through
popular selection. but II is none the less
real Where the foregoing facts exist
as to any system il is not and cannot
be arbitrary.
