EPISCOPAL SUPERVISION
And Bishop to Work Among Me-
groes Are Asked by Delegates
to Nj. Il. General Conference.

Baltimore, May 11.-Among the
Negro delegates to the general con-
terence there Is strong feeling
that In addition to q colored bishop
to work among Negroes in the South,
the colored conferences should have
more episcopal supervision. White
delegates from the Southern States
join with the Negroes in expressing
the wish that the church establish
episcopal residences further south
than Chattanooga. Members Of the
Louisiana conference would like to
see New Orleans named as o resi-
dence, and those from the Atlanta
conference hope that that city will
'be chosen. The Negroes, it Is said
have agreed upon Rev. DR.. Mason
as their choice for bishop If man
Of their own color is to be chosen.
Failing In this, white educators who
have won success In Negro institp-
tions will be supported by them, the
favored one being Rev. George s.
Trevor, professor Of theology in
Howard University at Washington,

THE COMFORTING OF DEGREES.

The season; OF the. year is fast ap-

and universities will be considering
the matter of :conferring degrees.
There ought to- he fewer degrees con-

wholly managed by Negroes-than
has been true heretofore. Some OF

OF our best meAyefuse to accept them
from certain institutions because of
their cheapness.i:'" Some institutions
confer them by the wholesale. This
should be stopped A degree should
be conferred for distinct merit and
merit alone; a degree should be con-
ferred for some high and exceptional
achievement in economies, science,
literature or theology. Some Of our
institutions make the mistake Of try
Ing to make themselves popular by
comforting degrees. The result is
just the opposite. Where one man Is
pleased because he receives a degree
twenty others are made angry be-
cause sthey do not receive one. The
pest institutions-such as Harvard
and 4ale-confer very few degrees.
Harvard seldom confers more than
two degrees Of doctor Of divinity dur
ing q single commencement. Some of
our institutions confer a dozen. This
IS needless and hurtful. A reform
should be instituted at once. 1t
would not 1njure the race II no more
degrees were conferred for several
years.

Chicago, Ill.,, May 2O.-.The. color
ed men Of this city are preparing to
give the colored delegates and visit
ors> to the republican NATIONAL con-
vention the greatest time Heas given
to colored delegates and visitors to
any previous national convention. IN
quesuonably, however, the most
beautiful and enjoyable affair to be
given during the week Of the con-
vention-and possibly the most bril-
liant affair ever given in Chicago for
the social entertainment of the race
will be the band concert and fulr
dress reception rendered by the off,
GERS and men Of the 9Th Illinois Regi-
ment on Thursday evening, June 18.
This Is the "crack" regiment that
went to Cuba during the Spanish
American war, and which, with Col.
John r. Marshall in command, rem
dered service that won the highest
encomiums at the hands Of the Uni
ted States government. 1t is the only
colored regiment maintained by any
state In the union, and is regarded
as one Of the finest-drilled, most ca
pably-otticered and best disciplined
regiments in the country. The First
Regiment armory, probably the lar
gest armory in the world, has been
engaged for the occasion.
tits also planned to have an exhi-
bition drill by the regiment, 50 that
the visitors from the north, east,
south and west, may see what Chica-
go and the state of Illinois have in
the shape Of Negro soldiers. 1t may
be added that the Sth Is the only reg
iment in the land Differed from col
onel to corporal by cOlored men, and
1t VIII be matter or much pleasure
and deep interest to all to see them
in action.
The officers in full regimentals,
beauttfully-goWned women and dis
tlnguished colored men from every
state In the union, in full evening
dress, will make this function one
that will go down in history as the
greatest and handsomest receptions
ever given among colored men and
women in this country. 1t will take
on truly national proportions, and
the ladies are fairly on tDtoe Of ex-
pectation in anticipation Of its bril-
liancy.
1t is the desire Of the officers and
memb1Rs Of the regiment that every
delegate and alternate delegate to the
convention receive an invitation, and
it Is requested by the management
that all delegates and alternates send
tehir name and address, at once, to
Col. John r. Marshall, 5000 Calumet
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, to insure their
receiving an invitation.

Washington, May 1.-THE grand
jury this afternoon returned> an in
ulctment against Representative
James Thomas Hetlin, Of Alabama,
charging him with assault With a
dangerous weapon upon Lewis Lun
dy, colored, and Thomas McCreary, a
horse trainer from New York. The
indictment is in three counts. and ia

from the car because he had been
drinking and was using improper
language in the presence Of women
passengers.
When Hefiin was informed at the
Capitol Of his indictment he made
this astonishing and perhaps, absurd
comment: There would have been
no indictment If this were not DO
l1t1cal year. A friend Of mine sat be-:
hind two men in street car the
other day while they were talking
about my case. One of them said
the case against me would be: punish
ed to the limit that the District of
| Columbia delegation to the national
| convention might be instructed for
| Senator Foraker"
He then added: Il have no fear
and am confident the jury will &C
quit me. l have Is or more reliable
witnesses who will show that I only
shot in salf-defense. The fact that
the Negro afterWard was found to
have committed or attempted to COM
NIT an assault on q woman should
have convinced the grand jury of his
