A LIFELONG FRIEND.
MADAM HAcKLEY RETIREs

Chicago, H., October 25. Especial
Madam E. Azelia Hackley was greet
/ ed by packed house of music lovers
on last Thursday night at Orchestra
Hall, Michigan avenue, and Jackson
boulevard. The occasion was the re-
firing recital of this noted singer, and
] proved to be the grea. est event In
the h'sto Y Of the Chicago people. Il
wgs a success from every angle, nota-
bly, in noint of art, attendance and
appreciation.
1t was largely through the efforts
of Mr. Cary B. Lewis, editor of
the Illinois Chronicle, who was man
ager and, press agent, that the Orches-
ira Hall was packed from pit to
dome. Visitors were here from sew
eral states and the society people
were out in great style, leaders &C.
cu9ying the twenty-three boxes.
It is safe to state that it was the
grandest and most brilliant musical
and social affair that has ever taken
place in this city. It was the first
time the colored people had Orches-
ira Hall and they turned out in taxi's
and autos, the ladies wearing beauti-
FIJI Paris creations and the men In
full dress.
Madam Hackley rendered her pro.
gram in most pleasing manner. In
every number she showed the highest
training most wonderful range of
voice and gave a series of vocal de-
that carried the house
By storm. Her songs were sung with
a ! artistry of the finished singer The
! ecital was highly entertaining and
was Of great value to all who heard
her. TIE Tribune and Record-Herald
critics sooke of her work in a most
complimentary manner kilograms
we're read from all parts of the coun-
try by Mr.. Cary B. Lewis, and she re-
ceived many Landscape bouquets.
Madam Hackley is being urged to re-
turn next spring and train a big
c orus for public musical.

IN MEMORY.

On Tuesday morning, Oct. II, at
1870 o'clock the angel Of death crept
into he home of Mr.. ana Mrs. Giles
Thornton and claimed the faithful and
beloved daughter, Lydia, wife of Jas.
II. Sumner Mrs. Lydia Sumner had
been in i'll health several months, and
the angel of death had lowered at her
bedside FOE some time, until at last
she gave up the brave and noble fight
she had so long and patiently maze,
and her soul was waited on the gen
tie morning breeze to the great De-
yond, where the cares and pains or
life are no more, and where the dark
ness never comes. Although this
faithful and patient woman had suf-
fered for months, it was scarcely no.
ticeable to those who came in con-
tact with her, so hard did she strive
to control her feelings and not worry
her family with her troubles. She
had become reConciled to the fact that
she could not last much longer, and
so like those that have placed their
faith in His hands, submitted without
resistance, and stepped out Of this
world into the beautiful home which
has been prepared for her and others
of like character She was a devious
Christian, having been a member Of
the church number of years. She
was true type of Christianity and
in hT last moments gave words OF
cheer and comfort to the sorrowing
family and friends as they knelt at
her bedside watching the beautiful
life transferred from a world of sor-
row and tears to the golden streets
of Paradise.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1911.
Church Business.

DR.. John Hurst, Financial Secreta-
ry Of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, in speaking to the members
of the Tennessee A. M. e. Conference
last Wednesday morning, took high
er ground in discussing the business
affairs of his church. He showed that
there is deal of slackness and in
difference on the part of some of
the leaders in his Connection, and
pointed out some Of the dangers that
are likely to oyertake them unless
these defects are remedied. DR..
Hurst is a thorough student of church
matters. He is a close observer and
his judgment goes a long way with
the men of his Connection He never
talks for show, neither does he speak
boastfully but always with that earn
estness that compels men to think.
What Dr. Hurst has discovered in
the African Methodist Connection Is
true with other denominations. There
is not enough business tact applied
to the management Of churches.
1t has been the opinion Of the peo-
pie in days past that the minister
should do everything about the
chGrch-preach, lift the collection,
make all announcements, settle all
disputes and shake hands with every
body on meeting day. The officers
will stand around and see the pastor
succeed or fail; with such a strain
the man who attempts to do so much
work, they wait until he fails,
if failure is his doom, then they cri-
ticise and abuse him. The church is
an institution that appeals to the peo-
pie in a peculiar way; as they gave
to the erection of temples and cities
in the early centuries, so will they
now give to the erection and mainte,
nance of churches. If the leaders will
only conduct the business on a basis
that the people can understand. Ne
gross delight in beautiful church edi-
fees, They desire that their preach.
ers be educated, manly men. They
viii push the interest of the church
as far into their commercial and CT
vii affairs as they possibly can, but
they want to know what they are
doing, which is perfectly natural.
The old custom of pastors looking
after everything and reporting to the
people wha. he has done is past. It
is also true that pastors cannot be
dictatorial to their people now, for this
age of progress has opened the eyes
of the people and they understand
some things, too, The church is
business institution and should be so
conducted 1t must be conducted so
or else the people will gradually
drift away from it and it's influence
will not be what it should in the COM
munity

thing to hear Negroes complain
against the administration. One thing
they complained of was that the
policemen allowed Negro women to
flock around saloons but would at
the same tine arrest women of other
races ii they were caught hanging
around such places. There was a
strong feeling on that point and it is
one of the things that cut the Ne,
groes of Nashville to the quick. They
discuss it daily now, but right there
hey stop.
another complaint is that in dis
tributing the Fairgrounds in the city
all Of them have been located in white
communities, anu while there is no
law against black people going into
them, they do not go because they
do no feel welcome Again they de-
sire to avoid any friction between
the races, consequently they stay
away. They argue that they are en-
titled 10 these privileges and that it
is duty of the Council to see that
equitable distribution is made in such
matters.
Another complaint that is heard
from time to time is the unequal dis
tribution of corporation work. The
black laboring men feel that they
should have proportionate part Of
such jobs and not be entirely ignored
in the matter of earning bread.
Now it is time the Negroes of
Nashville should get tosether with
from every ward in
the city and discuss these problems.
They should appoint committee, not
too large to be cumbersome, but
small committee Of able men who
have the welfare Of all the people at
heart. This committee should be
sent to the city authorities with the
grievances Of the colored people, set
ing out everything and giving the
officials the privilege to turn them
lown With the good feeling that
kiss in this city between the white
md black people, we do not believe
hat such requests would be refused.
We believe it is the desire of the
white people that the colored people
lave everything that is due them.
They know that by treating people
air, you make them contented and
hat a contented man stays where he
S. But the time to do these things is
low and not two years hence. Get
n on the ground floor, ask the mayor
nd councilmen for what you want,
nd we believe they will do every
hing in their power to give the
olored people just what they de-
erve.

~N Aug 20. 1861. was issued the
IA q order creating the Army of the
y Potomac and giving General
George B. Mcclellan command
of all the Union forces along the river
and as far to the rear as Baltimore
and Fort Delaware. This was new
departure in American military organ
ization, Heretofore there had been
geographical departments WIFI ma
ior general over each. but no attempt
10 create armies on the European
model. The new plan Of organization
into corps and divisions was brought
forward by Mcclellan and was OPP
posed by General Scott, who contend
ed that the old methods of brigades
and geographical departments were
good enough. Finally Mcclellan had
his way. and eventually his method
was adopted by all the armies OF the
north He also had new plan or
staff organization which was adopted.
1t is not without interest that he APP
pointed as his chief of staff his father
fn-law, Colonel X. b. Marcy.
While organizing his troops McClel-
Ian had also been terrifying Washing
ton. The man at the head Of the en-
cineers was Major J. G., Barnard, after
ward brigadier general. This depart
ment was reorganiZed, and Barnard
was given charge of completing the
defenseS of the capital.
One of the earliest orders issued by
the new commander of the Army OF
the Potomac was that no more gray
uniforms should be purchased for
northern soldiers. Hardly Il fight had
occurred I'D to this time but that the
similarity in the uniforms worn in the
two armies had created confusion.
Many times Union troops had fired at
each other. At Wilson'S Creek the
mistaking of Confederate troops for
Federals had caused the defeat OF
Sigel's column and possibly changed
the outcome of the whole fight.
Danger From Beauregard Past.
On Aug. 20 Mcclellan wrote to
his wife: IF Beauregard does not at
tack this week he is foolish. He has
given me infinite advantages, and you
may be sure | have not neglected the
opportunity. Every day adds to the
strength of my defenses, to the per
lection of the organization and some
little to our forces. l am gaining rap
