be driven toe close home. The clerk
at once apparently realized his inferi.
GRITTY and his extremely small position
hence he took offense, but was not
brave enough TO show his disapprovSl
until Mr., Bewling's back was turned.
He was stealing upon him, armed with
an ink we'll and a paper weight Mr.
Bowling was unaware of all this, as
he was walking towards the door.
One of the employees in the Office
gave the alarm and Mr. Bowling
turned upon his assailant just
IN time to brighten him; hence the
deadly missiles which he hurled
at Mr. Bowling missed their mark.
The clerk beat a hasty retreat to his
small corner and Mr. Bowling went
about his duties. The damage sus-
tanned by the large plate glass in
the city office of the L. & N. is said
to be about 500. Mr.. Bowling will

standing she came for this special oc-
ca ion. A Globe reporter learned
that only the sum of $500 was collect
ed Sunday afternoon, and that dur
ing her three meetings not quite $2O.O
was raised This does not speak well
for the city, especially when it is
taken into consideration the large
number of attendants on each occa-
sion. Nashville is not very liberal
when it comes to giving in public col
lections. Many wealthy and promi-
nent people give five and ten cents in
a collection, and the pastors of the
churches often lead with five and
ten cents. A close observation has
convinced most people, especially
those in public, that these small col
lectiOns will not bring the required re-

of children from all parts of the East
side. There were not many, however,
from the West, but the results of her
address, will be felt in all parts of the
CITY She scored many good points
and was entertaining to the children.
Friday night she spoke to mixed
audience, which was lareg and appre-
ciative. Her subject was "My trip to
Africa and the events that took
place" The fact that Miss delaney

on this occasion. In delivering this
address she took great care to out
line the real work she had been able
to accomplish in that foreign land.
Being an earnest, conscientious work
er, she found it no trouble to interest
others on all occasions.
Sunday afternoon was the long
looked-for meeting and one that can
not be forgotten in this city, notwith-
standing the rules governing the at
tendance were the most rigid ever put
into force in this city. 1t was plain,
instructive talk to women, her sub

was instructive at all times, sounding
warning to the wives and mothers
present.
Disappointment on the part of a
large number was noticed when those
under twenty-one were barred from
