in this city with her brother-in-law,

REE IN TEXAS,

Bishop Evans Tyree returned from
his work i'm Texas this morning, ac-
companied by some of the leading
men Of the state, who are going to
Wilberforce, Ohio, to attend the
commencement exercises.
Bishop Tyree, aside from being
tired from the long journey, appeared
to be in excellent health, and was jo-
vial as rs his nature. He and his
party took carriage at once for the
Bishops palatial home on North Hill
street.
The partywas delayed long enough,
however, for the news that the peo-
ple of Nashville are anxiously wait
ing to learn, namely, the amount
raised in the educational rally for
Paul Quinn College, which is one of
the oldest Negro colleges in the
South. 1t was learned that $4,000
was raised in the spring rally just
closed. This amount, it was learned,
will put the institution in fairly good
shape financially.

MORE THAN 25,ooo ORDERS.

A remarkable record has been
made by the National Baptist Pub
fishing Board in the receipts and the
dispatch of orders for Sunday-school
periodicals. Secretary Boyd stated
to Globe reporter upon his return
from the State of Mississippi this
week that they had filed and sent
out up to Wednesday, May oath,
more than $4,000 orders of literature,
publications and supplies. This, de-
clared Secretary Boyd, was only a
high water mark, Notwithstanding
the apparent falling off year ago
and during last Fall, which he ex-
plains was brought about on account
of the peculiar conditions then exist
ing, but the picking up in this de-
partment with an increase Of orders,
guarantees a splendid report for the
clost of the fiscal year, continued
Secretary Boyd, which will be made
at the National Baptist Convention,
which meets in Pittsburg, Penn, next
September.

thousand Sunday-school workers
crowded in the auditorium of the
Baptist Seminary to take part in the
opening of the Sunday-School Con-
gress of the National Baptist Con-
vention, which began its sixth an
nual session here this morning and
will continue until Sunday night.
When Dr. G. H. Clark, D. D., chair
man, of Nashville, Tenn, called the
Congress to order a chorus of 100
voices, selected from all the churches
of the city, under the direction Of
DR.. N. H. Plus, sang Hail the Bap-
tist Congress-" and thousands of
voices enthusiastically joined in the
song. A song and prayer service
followed, lasting thirty minutes. DIR.
Clark made a short address, outlin-
ing the work, and introduced Sec
retary Henry Allen Boyd, of the Con-
gress, the young man who had la
bored hard for the success of the
meeting.
Mr.. Boyd commended the commit
tee that had arranged for the enter
tainment of the Congress and visi-
tors. He referred to the rapid growth
of the organization in the past four
years, declaring that it was a factor
in the development of the youth of
the race.
The entire time of the meeting will
be spent in discussing plans and
methods for the advancement of Sun
day-school work in its several depart
ments, In keeping with this object
a hest of Representatives delved into
the discussions and reading of papers
ON Sunday-school work. and if the
first days work is kept up, the pro-
ceedings will mako the most COM
plete Sunday-school book that the
world has ever known. Experts in
the Sunday-school work, whose repu-
tations are not confined to this
country, are hire assisting in shaping
tho future of the Negro Baptists, who
have planned successfully and are
rapidly erecting a splendid religious
and intellectual monument for their
young people.
The Sunday-School Congress has
morJ than twenty-five thousand Sun
day-schools to draw upon for repre-
sentatives and support, as every Sun
day-school is entitled to send one or
more delegates. Every incoming
train since Tues. .ay night has
brought in SPECIAL cars with large
crowds. The slogan of the leaders of
this popular movement during the
past several months has been Meet
us at Meridian" while another ex-
preston that has attracted much at
tention is "You have business at the
Congress-"
Tho local committee rendered a
program at the opening that was en-
tertaining in every way. The night
service on the first day was splendid.
Among the distinguished visitors was
the Governor of the State of Missis-
sippi, Hon. E. H. Noel, who has gained
much distinction as a Sunday-school
worker and enthusiast, His words
of edmonton to the Negro Baptist
Sunday-school forces of the United
States were received with prolonged
applause.

IRIS AP6RPIE WORM.
Germ o. InfantiIe Paralysis Is Dis
covered.

= NI
Topeka. April 1.-Dr. s. J. Crum'
bine. secretary Of the state board Of
health, has received a letter from
Or. Samuel g. Dixon, secretary Of
the Pennsylvania board of health,
in which DR.. Dixon says that he
believes that the micr0-organism
which causes infantile paralysis has
been discovered. Or. Crumbine ID
now in the east and he will visit the
Pennsylvania health laboratories to
see about the discovery. Infantile
paralysis has been prevalent in Kan
sas two summers, coming on about
the middle of July and continuing
until cold weather. There have been
more than two hundred cases in the
state and some forty deaths from
this disease, and discovery of the
cause of the. disease is important to
the medical profession at least. The
state has been working for months
in the university laboratories trying
to find the germ that transmitted
the disease and trying to learn what
could be used to prevent it and to
cure it.
1t his letter to Dr. Crumbine des-
cribing the new organisms DR.. Dixon
says that he took the blood from both
human beings and from monkeys
which had the disease. When the
blood smears on the glass were stain
ed with q dilute solution Of carbol
fuchsin and the micro-organisms were
readily seen under high power micro
scopes as purple lines, curved at an
angle of sixty to seventy degrees and
at times the curved end appeared
dubious. Some of the organisms APP
peared to have a very finely grained

! Owing to the pleasant weather
yesterday many. persons were out
walking, riding in their automobiles
and driving, SO that they could en-
10y the warm weather. The doors
and windows of the houses were
thrown open yesterday that the sum.
mer breezes might blow in.

Ing reached a velocity Of 80 miles

MANY VICTIMS OF FASHION.
Women Of This Age Do Not Dress
Warmly Enough.

Doctors have recently testified,
with rather an unusual degree of UNI
animity, that women in these days
do not dress warmly enough; that
neurasthenia is often the result Of
wearing clothing Of insufficient
thickness. 1t is not poverty, they say
but style that causes the difficulty.
Women can not initiate the sylph-
like maiden of the fashion plate and
wear heavy underwear and thick
dresses. Fashion with beautiful dis
regard for the changing season, de-
mands gauzy stockings low shoes,
decollette gowns and short sleeves.
The result is too often pneumonia or
an exhaustion Of vitality and nerve
force in the effort to keep warm.
The criticism sounds amazingly
like good common sense. Women
may protest that she does not feel
cold, but the chances are that she
is giving her holy an unnecessary
amount Of trouble to keep warm.
