THE INVESTIGATION ENDS
Representatives of Speaker Kennedy
Say Nothing Has Been Proved
& More Than Indiscretion.

Austin, Texas, March 1O.-The
house investigating committee spent
the entire morning Remaining
Speaker Kennedy and Miss Kendig
regarding the latters appointment as
stenographer, the manner in which
she was paid and other matters pre-
viously gone over at great length.
Nothing new was developed until just
before the committee recessed at 1
O'Clock, when Miss Craig, private ste
nographer to the speaker, was asked
to find a notebook containing copy
of the letter written by her to Miss
Kendig. She read a portion of the
letter which the committee decided
to introduce in record, which she said
was written about January %, and
was as follows:
s Perhaps you thought l was a lit
tie funny about the appointment. [
appointed you all right, but some COM
OBLIGATIONS came up afterwards which
made it necessary for me to wire you
not to come until further notice. 1t
is probable we can get matters adj.
justed in a few weeks, so if you are
still in a position to come and it
seems best to do SO, you may
1t was explained that the balance
of the letter related to political mat
tiers and was not pertinent to the in
Nestigation Evidence was introduced
showing that the pay of several clerks
and pages began January II; Miss
Kendig's began January -. Mr. Ken
nedy again stated he did not think
Miss Kendig should be charged for
money paid to other clerks because
she had been absent, as the speaker
had the power and right to appoint
her and excuse her if he saw fit for
good reasons. She had offered to re-
turn the money to State Treasurer
Sparks because the latter had come
to him as a friend and said he
fSparks) would have to pay the
money out of his pocket if it was not
returned. The committee had a short
session prior to submitting it's report
to the house this afternoon.
Arguing before the investigating
committee at the afternoon session,
Attorney George w. Allen laid down a
principle of law that the speaker had
appointed Miss Kendig as house ste
nographer within the scope of author

the house and haJlRg been legally APP

The extra convention assembled in
this city today with all signs pointing
to lively and spirited contest. 1t

Meanwhile the monument is in a

Good Cough Medicine For Children.
The season for coughs and cold is
now at hand and too much care can

child is much more likely to contract

cold the less the risk Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of

LOOKING THIS WAY.

Slight and almost positive informa-
ton was picked up this week which
involves, in a large measure, the pos
sibility of another publishing con-
Germ being located in Nashville, known
as the McGirt Publishing Company,
publishers and proprietors of the Nc
Girt Magazine under the head of Prof
James E. McGirt, A. NJ, LII. B. Prof
McGirt was in Nashville some time
ago, in fact, he was here twice during
the summer, and it was then observed
that he was quietly holding confer
ences with some of the leading bust
ness men of the city. At that time
a Globe reporter interviewed Mr.. Nc
Girt, but he stoutly maintained that
his visit here at that time was simply
in connection with the great Sunday
School Congress Movement that was
so universally talked of in the East
and which to his mind was one of the
greatest gatherings Of young people
and Sunday-school workers that ever
met and was purely an executive meet
ing and discussed only Sunday-school

work and methods. Prof. McGirt
stated then, however, that he consid-
cred Nashville the most advantageous
point and the greatest publishing cen
ter in the United States. He said
that, while it did not have the money
market, with its liberal terms and low
rates, close to it like Philadelphia and
New York, yet the UNCONVENTIONAL
concerns located in the city gave it a
superior advantage over New York
and Philadelphia, and that when it
came to the geographical advantage,
SC far as his people were concerned,
Nashville had no rival. But he would
say nothing at that time about COM
ing South except on those flying bust
ness trips that he usually takes. La
ter on Prof. McGirt was interviewed
by a business man of Nashville dur
ing the session of the National Bap-
fist Convention at Columbus, and at
that meeting, while still admiring
Nashville he did not say whether he
did or did not intend to put at least
a part OF his publishing concern with
in the confines of the state of Tonnes
see, he did admit, however, that he
could reach greater number Of his
subscribers and, no doubt, do great
deal more good by coming to Nash
vile than could possibly be accom-
plished in the city of "Brotherly
Love" He said, too, that no induce
ment had been offered him by the
Business League or business men OF
this city which is always the begin
ming or moving spirit in any concern
or institution contemplating locating
in new state county, or city. Prof
McGirt is the author of many inter
esting books and stories and has wide
publicity throughout the northern
and eastern presses, while his maya
zine has been read by thousands Of
people, in fact, it is one of the few
Negro magazines that continues to
appear regardless Of circumstances
Nashville has already secured one Of
the concerns from Philadelphia known
as the A. M. e. Church Review edited
by Prof. Healing; and should the
proper move be inaugurated there is
no doubt that Frof. McGirt would, al
least, have The post.olfice address and
the mailing of his magazine and
periodicals go out from Nashville, even
though The better part of his time
would be spent i'll the North and East
where he is in close touch with old
associates and financial centers. A
personal friend of Mr.. McGirt, when
asked as to the truth of the rumor
that Mr. McGirt would come South
with the intention of locating in Nash.
Vile, sail that he was not authorized
to give out any information whatever,
hut that he regarded Prof. McGirt as
being ready and willing to say at the
proper time what he intended to do.

HE WAS NOT SO GREEN.

The men who made up the person
mel of the German band which was in
the city during the past week were
not all as green as they pretended to
be, and once in while they threw
off the mask and showed that they
possessed a smattering of the English
language, which enabled them to get
square with people who sought to
jolly them, believing that they could
not understand our language. An in
cident in point occurred on Second
avenue The band had just concluded
a grand selection, and then came the
usual solicitation of funds. One men,
Der accosted a number of young men
in front of cigar store, held out his

One of the young men, pretending he
could not understand what was said,

and blind, and that he had no money
TO give away. The band man listened
carefully, and at the completion of
the speech nearly took the would-be
joker off his feet by remarking in
fairly good English that while he be-
llieved the latter part of the story, he
didn't think he was either deaf, dumb
or blind Then he walked on to the
next man.

When the worlds universal republic
is established. of which our own re-
public is but the forerunner; when
there Is liberation in all lands that are
famed by the free air as 1t sweeps
about the earth; when self government
and the individual strength 1t fosters
have become as common as the sun
shine and the rain: when there is uni
rersal religion based on the divinity in
man and the common love of God and
humanity: when purity Of life. loyalty
to truth and the sacrifice of self on the
altar of the common good are every
where recognized and practlced. then
Abraham Lincoln, who stood for all of
these things. will have taken his place
among the worlds few supremacy
great souls. That day for all mankind
died. If this nation had been rent
asunder in the civil war. If free gov
eminent had then proved failure. If
slavery had triumphed over freedom.
that new era for mankind might have
been delayed for centuries or forever.
Therefore Lincoln's work in that crisis
was not for his own land alone, but
for all lands. 1t was not only to give
the black race liberty. but TO give all
races liberty. 1t was not merely to as
sure the Union of these states. but
meant eventually that there should be
q union for peace and for universal
freedom as wide as the earth and as
long as the ages
All these things Lincoln's life and
death helped to make possible. There.
fore when the parliament of men,
shall indeed come his name should be
one of the foremost honored among
those who prepared the way.
