MRS. WILLIAM THAN
MAY BE GUARDIAN.
Wife of Stanford Whites
Slayer Drops Suit for Mar
riage Annullment.

NEW YORK. May 27.-Sorting what
they believe are the real facts from
the mass of contradictory statements,
friends of the Thaw family believe to-
day that Mrs. William Thaw has finally
gained the whip-hand in Harry Thaw's
affairs.
Probably no one but Mrs. Thaw, ST.
and her lawyer. Col. Franklin Bartlett,
know exactly what course will be fol-
lowed. but the general impression is
that the mother will seek appointment
as guardian for her son and his affairs
that she will try and secure his transfer
from Matteawan 10 some asylum less
rigid in its discipline. that she will ap-
peal from Justice NIorschauser's decision
i this concession is refused, and THAI in
any event, she will again seek his re-
lease about year hence.
Financial Settlement.
To what extent financial cOnsidera-
tons weighed with Mrs Evelyn Thaw
ia dismissing her marriage annullment
suit yesterday is perhaps a question
even 20 Mrs. Thaw, ST.
Colonel Bartleuts statement that the
sons wife is receiving an allowance of
SL000 monthly was something Of a sur
prise TO the familys friends and the
rumor is current that the,young woman
may have given considerable regard TO
possible warnings that she must con-
slider her mother-in-law wishes o.
risk the loss Of her income.
1t is reasonably clear. the fThaws' &C
quaintances say. that the family must
have considered il prejudiclaI 10 Harry's
interests 10 have his wife seeking a
marriage annullment on gr0unds of in
sanity at a time when he is seeking
freedom from an asylum.
Forced to Sue.
Attorney O'Reiuy. for Evelyn Nesbit
ThaW, says that the Thaws forced his
client 10 sue and that she dropped her
suit out OF loyalty 10 Harry, while Col
onel Bartlett, for Mrs. William Thaw.
says that the family brought no pres
sure whatever.
Most people I'm closest touch with the
situation believe there really has been
AT least a tentative reconciliation.
However closely Mrs. Thaw, ST., may
plan 10 have her son watched II he ever
regains his fTeedOm--there have been
rumors for some time that she has re-
tanned former Chief OF Police O'Afara,
OF PittsbuTg. 10 keep an eye on him--sh
plainly wants 20 get MIN out OF the
States custody.
She made arrangements today to re-
main in PCughkeepSie until Justice
Morschauser decides Wheeler to send
him back 70 MdtteaWau, ur 20 some
other asylum A decision IS expected
In about ten days.
SALEM. y. H. May 27.-Afrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw has engaged a suite of
rooms at the exclusive Hotel Rocking
ham, and the mana cement expects her
arrival here June 1.
II is not the intention OF the young
woman To- remain al the hotel IL IS said
as she viii seek "a cottage where absO-
lutte retirement may be assured
II is her intention 10 spend practically
the entire summer in this vicinity.

MT. OLIVE REVIVAL cLosEs.

On Sunday night the revival that
mas been in progress at Mt. Olive Bap-
Ilst church for the past three weeks
closed with parting gospel sermon
by Rev. Z. L. M. Bigbee, OF Elkton,
n.y., who has been in charge oil the
meeting. 1t was great meeting in
every respect, not only because OIL the
number OF conversions which mum
Dered lO3, but because of the real
Christian influence telt by those VINO
attended. Their song service was one
OF the drawing cards and lent much as
slstance throughout the meeting. PEG
pie did not stop singing when sery-
ices were dismissed, but they CON
tlnued singing throughout the day,
hence the enect OF the revival seemed
TO remain with every attendant
throughout the day.
The baptizing took place Sunday
afternoon at $50 o'clock in the base
ment, DR.. q. ii. Clark ofnciating, Wnen
oO out oil lO3 converts were baptized
Most OF the other candidates will
probably be ready to receive the ordi-
nance OF baptism at an early date.
The crowded condition OF the base
ment OF Mount Olive last Sunday pre-
vented many from witnessing the most
beautiful OF all ceremonies among the
Baprists-a real baptizing. The pas
tor stated that this would soon be
remedied, as he had fully decided to
build baptistry in the main auditori-
UNI, which will, with the incline floor
that the church already has, enable
every one to see the beautiful baptis-
NAL ceremonies. On Sunday morning
there will be a special sermon, after
which DR.. Clark goes to Birmingham,
Ala, to assist Rev, q. l.. Fisher in a
revival.

A large number Of persons, among
them several men Of prominence, Wis.
tied Roger Williams University last
week. A large delegation of ministers
IN response to an invitation from
President Johnson, also paid the instl-
tuition a visit, and were we'll pleased
with the surroundings. The teachers
and pupils assembled in the chapel
and the President introduced Rev. E.
Q. Morris, ID. d., of Helena, Ark,
President of the National Baptist
Convention, who, after delivering a
short but eloquent address, introduced
every other visitor in the room. They
spoke words Of encouragement to the
school. After the speaking the min
listers were escorted to the dining-hall
where a sumptuous repasL awaited
them. After dinner the distinguished
guests made careful inspection of the
beautiful grounds and expressed them
selves as being highly pleased with
what they had seen. The teachers
and students hardly know how to ex-
press their gratitude to these men for
their visit and words of cheer, and
cordially invited them all back to our
open doors at any time they may feel
disposed to drop in.
Notwithstanding the lateness of the
year we are glad to have new stu
dents. Rev. r. ID. Jones, who came to
us from Walden University, will re-
main the rest Of the year.
The school was surprised yet very
thankful to the good women of the
Busy Bee Club" who, out of their
warm hearts and sympathetic spirits
and their earnest desire to see the
school succeed sent us such useful
provisions as canned tomatoes, corn,
sugar salt, meal, pepper, eggs, soda,
etc.
Miss Lady Emma Louise Phillips,
daughter of Bishop Phillips, spent
Wednesday with us in company with
our music teacher, Miss Queenetta
Compton.

rev. Mr.. Fuller was seen by a Globe
reporter after the meeting ADJOURNED,
and in talking over recent happen
lngs, he took occasion to compliment
the Globe on being a Wide-awaKe, In
teresting, well-edited and high-class
paper; and he also commenced the
EFFORTS put forth by the ashville Globe
in the stand taken for the Negro
youth and the interest aroused among
the people in urging them TO put
forth efforts to secure their pro rata
OF the various educational funds and
appropriations, of which they are now
being deprived, and have been for
the past eight or ten years.
DR.. Fuller in speaking of Howe In
stitute to the reporter, said, Howe
Institute was founded some years
ago by the late Mr.. Peter Howe,
who at that time gave the school $10,-
900. 1t was he for whom the school
was named and it was partly due to
his efforts that our school was
brought before the people. To-day
we can boast of having one of the
largest UNCONVENTIONAL schools in the
United States. 1t is strictly Bap-
fist institution, and this year our en-
rollment numbers nearly five hundred
students. While we are cramped
and crowded for quarters, we believe
we are doing a good work.
We have feature that makes the
school particularly prominent, and
that is our Bible Training DEPART
ment for women. We have in this
department alone two hundred and

ages of twenty to ninety years. There
are six denominations represented in
this department.
I'VE recently received a donation of
$4,000 which of course was condi.
tional. We are to raise $4,000. The
advantage they gave us in getting the
$4,000 helped us materially, as they
gave it to us in instalments of $1,000.
UP to date we have received $1,000 of
the money, and have already raised
$4,000 on the second thousand. We
hope to have the remaining $4,000
raised before the commencement, and
the last $1,000 before school takes no
in the Fall.
Our commencement sermon will
be preached by Rev. j. p. Robinson,
D. D., of Little Rock, Ark, Sunday,
May "a.
I'VE are proud to see the effort be-
ing made by Roger Williams"
Among the large supporters of this
school is the son of the late Peter
Howe, who has given in the last few
months 10000 to the school. The
entire faculty, from President down.
belongs to our race.
