University of Tennessee. Hence these
three acts of the last Tennessee legis-
lature in making special %appropria-
tions for established schools for the
whites, and a failure to do anything
for the established Negro Institutions,
looks to the committee like neglect
and discrimination in its worse form
by the state.
The committee has not made a re,
port in full, as it will now look into
the fifty or sixty scholarships voted by
the last legislature, which are to be
divided among the leading schools of

of this neglect and these failures to
provide properly will be used in the

tage, will be awaited with eagerness on

held a convention in the city. From
the appearance of their long coats
and faces, they must have been of the
chosen set.
The cantata, "Rebecca," was given
a capable rendition last Tuesday
night at the Wesley Chapel c. M. &
Church. The version given was ar
ranged in several acts and the cast and
chorus presenting it deserve credit for
the commendable work. Mrs. M. e.

in the colors of the cub-old gold,
crimson and black. -Four large New

G. Dickerson, Vice resident; P. /
Harold, Secretary; O. c.. Clayborne,
Treasurer; w, c. Kyle, Club Physi-

tributed and artistically decorated. The
flowers, bunting, etc, here and there,
together with the other decorations,

usual beauty.

Lewis, Washington, D. c.; Miss Daw-
son, Cleveland, o.; Miss M. Booze,

Of 81 the guests of the city, since over
? hundred were present. Suffice it to
say that they came from most every
home and family of prominence in
Nashville. The supper, consisting of
turkey, oysters on toast, cocoa, etc,
in five courses, was gracefully man
AGED by Prof. Dock Liner, the catere'.
The Nashville Orchestra furnished the
evenings music. Every gentleman in
the hall was attired in conventional
evening dress, with one white rose
upon the left coat lapel. The ladies
On the other hand were elegantly
dressed in evening gowns of silk, sat
in, etc. Costly laces and attractive
adorned many of the gowns
nearly all of which were specially
made, being of all colors. The
that both the ladies and gentle
men presented was most imposing
and grand. The whole affair, unpre-
Cedented in character, passed off
nicely, and it is now numbered with
the things of the past. The banquet
was the last effort of this club, which
has for four years given one each
school term. All Of the officers and
rearly every member will graduate in
March, and with their passing, Nash
vile will lose a club of much popu-
larity and influence.
