'O'I0OLE IDLE;
FANS WERE sore

Chicago, April 25~A morning paper
prints the following regarding the
game between the cubs and Pitts
burg recently:
Marty o'roole didn't pitch and
the cubs didn't win. Those were the
two o disappointing features Of
the closing game of the first series
between the cubs ami pirates yester-
day. It Is highly probable that sew
eral hundred folks visited the baseball
park because they thought Nj. o'Toole
was going to pitch. O'Toole may
really Pitch some time. He ma pitch
twenty or more games this season.
TITS a cinch he'll be advertised to
pitch sixty or seventy times, ana per-
haps people will fall for it and give
up their good halves and dollars ON
suspicion. Thus will the Pittsburs
club recover that part Of the $22, 500
that wasn't given back to the st. Paul

thorough knowledge of Old Testament
Scripture and his native ability to i'm
part it in plain. straightforward and
convincing manner drew large audi
ences each evening. His blackboard
illustrations. maps and charts were
the means by which he made lasting
Impressions upon the minds of his
bearers.
The result of this course of Bible in
struction was that number of per
sons decided to pursue a spe al course
of study by correspondence. The mem
bers of the church and teac trs in the
Sunday school were aroused as never
before to make better preparations for
their work as teachers and church OH
cials.
Since completing his northern cir
cult Dr. Vass has filed many engage
ments at southern schools. His recent
lectures which were delivered to the
theological students of Shaw univer-
sity in this city were highly instructive
and pleasing From Shaw university
DR.. Vass was invited by DR.. Booker
T. Washington to go to the Tuskegee
institute in Alabama to lecture to the
students of the Phelps Hall Bible
Training school. of which the Rev. DR..
A. F. Owens is the dean.
From Tuskegee DR.. Vass' next col
lege engagement will probably be at
Benedict college, in Columbia. s. G.
His services are in great demand. He
visits and speaks at majority OF
church conferences and conventions
which are iIeid annually and at differ
ent times throughout the country.
Among the subjects discussed in these
lectures are how the Bible came to
the world. how to build up strong
race, the Jewish commonw eaith, ihe
prophets and their work, Christian life
and doctrine, the life Of Christ and the
final triumph Of the cross.
These lectures cover each about one
hour One is given at each session
| of an institute AS to how many are
given at any one church or institution
depends upon how long the institute
is to be held. They are given to all
classes and are suitable for all condi-
tions. the more ignorant as well as the
more intelligent. and are therefore
popular because Of the simplicity OF
the language used and the personal in
terest which the speaker manifests IN
each individual.
Evidence Of WiIIfuI Disregard For Law.
| The recent Hillsville (vaJ tragedy is
only another evidence of disregard for
law on the part of a large element of
the SO called native Americans. There
are few sections of the United States
in which iynchings without evidence
of guilt on the part of the accused do
not occur.

Miss Leila Brown. She taught school
In Louisville, KY, during her young
wOmanhood for number of years and
made high record as a teacher. She
figured prominently in educational life
and development of the city of Louis
Vile. Mrs. Walters was the first prin-
cipal of the colored school, the new
building Of which was recently dedi-
Gated in Louisville. The building cost
$4,000.
The school had a humble beginning
and was founded by a group Of patri-
otic women of the race who were pio-
neers in the educational life of the city.
Mrs. Walters was called to the prin-
cipalship of the school as signal rec
ogniion of her broad culture and wide
training AS the first principal of the
school Mrs. Walters rendered invalu-
able service and played a conspicuous
part in the early history of the school.
Her work as its first principal was
warmly praised by the board Of edu-
cation and the parents Of the pupils.
Among the teachers were Miss Jack
son, Mrs. Mary Hicks, Mrs. Carrie An
derson. Mrs. Louisa Gibson. Mrs. Cora
Roberts and Miss Anna Gibson. The
school for the most part was founded
by the Zion connection, as the early
workers were largely Of that church.
Mrs. Walters remained as principal OF
the school for nine years and resigned
in 1894 to become the wife of Bishop
Walters. Since her marriage she has
not ceased her activities in race up
lift. She takes a keen interest in the
general topics of the day and especial
ly upon matters pertaining to the Zion
connection. She has delivered many
addresses before large gatherings OF
women's clubs.
AS the president of the Woman's
Home and Foreign Missionary Society
Of the A. NJ. e. church she has done
much for the advancement of the mis-
sionary cause. She is the organizer
of the African Redemption society, III
organization formed for the purpose
of helping the African missions ant
rendering help to the natives.
At a recent meeting of the club a
the residence of Mrs Walters some
very vital subjects were discussed as
to the best means Of helping the Afri
can missions. At the session of the
Council Of the Woman's Missionar,
Societies in Knoxville, Tenn, Mrs
Walters was made life matron.
In this city, where Mrs. Walters re
sides, she wields wide influence ant
is an interesting figure in the intel
lectual life Of the city. Her splendid
life is an inspiration to the young wo
men Of the race. Mrs. Walters life II
full of inspiration and is one dedicated
to a life of service and the aiding o.
her fellow women to a life Of useful
ness and honor.
