HEAD WALTERS, CONTEST.

By popular vote the verdict rem
dered at the First Baptist Church,
on Spruce street, Monday night in the
presence of the largest congregation
that ever attendd that church for an
entertainment of any kind, says that
Mr.. William Young, who for quite a
number of years has been head wait
er at the Duncan Hotel, is the most
popular head waiter in the great city
OF Nashville, Notwithstanding there
are scores of hotels and cafes in this
city. There were five prominent can
didates in the field for the honors and
the fact that Mr.. William Young was
declared the most popular does not
describe the warm contest that was
waged for more than thirty days as
the five contestants fought every inch
of the ground. The results of the
contest were not known or could
not be judged until the very last vote
was counted, and yet Mr.. Young's ma
1ority was nearly 200 over the nearest
leader, who was Mr.. Birdsong, head
waiter of the Tulane Hotel. Friends
of the other head walters were there
and thus the entire city was interest
in the outcome of the contest.
After fair and impartial canvass
OF the votes the first prize was award
ed to Mr.. VIM. Young, who raised
$lOO.1O, the second to Mr.. e. w Bird
song, who raised $S4.6S, and the third
to Mr.. Wash Cannon, who raised
$22.75. Mr.. Robt. Martin raised SIS,
Mr.. Roy Irwin $110.
Mr.. Alex Goodwine, captain of club
No. 10, and Miss Novella Matthews.
his assistant, were the recipients of
many hearty congratulations for the
success of the contest.
In the basement of the church re-
fresbments were served to the delight
of the large audience and many |
friends. DR.. Ellington announced that
the financial returns were something
over 5000, surprising any previous
effort for the church along this line.

DR.. ROMAN in GEORGIA.

Dr. C. v Roman, the popular spe-
cialist, received high pl aise in Angus
ia, Ca, on the 2Sth of September.
He went upon specia invitation to de-
liver an address to the nurses of the
Lamar Hospital and Training School.
The Augusta Chronicle a white daily
had the following to say about the
meeting and the address particularly:
NEGRO NURSES WERE GIVEN DIPLOMAS.
The Inauguration of the public
graduation exercises for the colored
nurses Of the Lamar Hospital and
Training School, which was held last
night at McGregor hall, was attended
with the greatest success, and reflects
great credit upon Miss Mittie White,
the superintendent and upon all who as
sisted her in making preparations for
the occasion.
The hall was decorated very taste
fully with immense ferns, palms and
cut flowers, the stage being banked
with green's and the program was in.
teresting from beginning to end.
The welcome address was delivered
by Mary Benning 1t was well pre-
pared and very well delivered.
DR.. c. V. Roman a colofed physi-
clan, who has the title of Phi. D., as
well as NJ D., delivered an address
that would have done credit to any
orator. 1t was far above the average
address of such character in thought,
and was remarkably well written 1t
was delivered in an easy, interesting
manner; and held the undivided at
tention of all the white people in the
audience. The depth of thought,
breadth of learning, and the scope of
acquaintance with literature and phil
osophy astonished the audience; and
his unassuming delivery and recep-
ton of the praise that was accorded
him by the white people who heard
him speak, gave new impetus to
considerative thought about the
amount of good that Negroes of his
stamp can and may accomplish for
their race The subject of his address
was "Woman's Work" and though the
subject is a hackneyed one, he gave
interest in his development of it; anC
if the Negroes who heard him graspet
his meaning and follow his advice
it will do much for their personal an(
racial development.
, DR.. T. e. Oertel presented the di
plomas to the four nurses who com
! prise the class, Mary Benning, Elizf
Batey, Cora Bass and Lizzie Hill, re
ceiving them Dr. Oertel made a shor
address in which he complimenteC
Mittie White and expressed his prais
and approval of the audience which
i attended the exercises. His common
.. dalton was very encouraging AM
showed that he really has at heart tn
development and advancement of tn
hospital
The superintendent report of tn
, = work done at the hospital was exec
l. lent, showing that out of 300 patient
received into the hospital only Is ha
died, while 200 had been cured an
!, the remaining number partially cure
. or bettered.
= Lucy Laney presented the four elias

~ donation of Mayor VIM. NJ Dunba

Mark Nelson Won Flght.

The ''sparring match" at
Greiners opera house Monday
evening resulted adversely to
the hopes of G. Griffin of Ack-
worth, the Turtle Mountain
whirlwind.' He was put out
in the fifth round by Mark
Nelson of Minot, the magic
city cyclone.
Nelson clearly demonstrated
his superiority over the colored
man from the first. He is
heavier, a more scienced fight
er, taller and of longer reach.
The match was advertised to
60 ten rounds but Griffin lasted
only half that long. Ed Thies
of Souris refereed the bout.
Preliminaries were put on by
Sidney Vallencourt and Law
renee Nordill, two young men
named Bauer and Perfontaine
and J. c. Stoyer's two young.
sters, Charles and Foy. The
latter gave a fine exhibition
and were roundly applauded.

Notorious Horse Thief CAUGHT.

Russell Sentinel: Sheriff
w. L. Drewry go of Lang
don came up on the 500
Monday night in search of
Sam Burns, alias ]. J. Kiner, a
notorious robber and horse
thief, who stole three head of
horses from a farmer in the
neighborhood of Langdon last
fall and after smuggling them
across the line into Canada sold
them for 5000 at Morden in
Manitoba. He then stole a
mans overcoat and came back
across the line into the states
again, where trace of him was
lost until. he got bold and
wrote a letter home under the
name of J. ]. Kiner, which
letter fell into the hands of the
sheriff. The letter stated that
he was trapping on the river
near Deep, where he had put
up a shack, and this gave the
sheriff all the information
needed. To make sure of his
man, Sheriff Drewry came
direct to Russell and secured
the services of Deputy Sheriff
Alex. Bernhardt, and the two
together started out Tuesday
morning in search of their man,
not knowing where he might
be found. When about half
way to Deep a man was noticed
walking up the. road from
Herslip's, and as they drew
nearer he hailed them and
asked for a ride to Deep.
Having seen the man before
the sheriff Immediately recog-
nized him and was very glad
of the opportunity to accom-
