Sunday morning about o'clock fire
was discovered in Wilson's Infrma-
ry, which is located on First ave-
nue., South, and South Hill street.
About the same time it was also dis
covered that the Kitchen and stable
which are some distance removed
from the Infirmary, were ablaze. An
alarm was turned in at once, and by
a quick response on the part of the
fire company and a heroic effort the
buildings were> saved frof total de-
struction. Several inmates were in
the Infrmary, but they were all re-
moved without injury. 1t has not
not been learned just how the fire
originated. Differences of opinion
have been expressed. Some to the ef-
feet that it was the result of incen-
diary but the general opinion seems
to be that the origin of the fire is
unknown.
Since the outbreak of fire DR.. VIII
sons chauffeur, one McKissack, has
been arrested and lodged in jail; but
at is not believed by those who know
the young man that he had anything
tc do with the fire. One of the
nurses at the Infrmary has stated
that she saw strange man run out
of the building few days before the
fire, but this could not have been
McKissack, for she would have
known him. 1t is believed by the
people generally that this fire was
one that happened as a natural con-
sequence, as many others that occur
from time to time.
The fact that two fires happened at
the same time does not carry much
weight with those acquainted with
conditions at this season of the year.
for it often happens that in the same
community fires break out at the
same time, or in different parts of
the city the fire ladders do not get
one blaze eXtinguished before called
to another. And so the double fire
at the Infirmary has not created any
unusual suspicion.
DR.. Wilson, proprietor of the In
firmary, was out of the city at the
time OF the fire in the state of Ok
lahoma attending an operation. He
was at once notified of the fire and
is expected in the city just as soon
as his patients condition will per.

Leo Temple, a friendless Negro
boy Of Shelby county, is given an
other chance for his life. Since the
boy has been in Jail here he has con-
Quoted himself in a way to gain the
sympathy of the sheriff and the jail
officials An effort was started in
his behalf and the result is as fol-
lows:
Leo Temple, of Shelby county, ac-
cused Of rape, did not hang at the
State prison this morning, as had
been decreed by the Supreme Court
sitting at Jackson. Gov. Hooper last
night wired his Secretary to allow
the boy reprieve until November
25.
This action was taken by the Gov
ernor in view of the fact that he
had not reviewed the records in the
case and because local ministers in
terested themselves in the boy. Pas
tors of local churches yesterday sent
the Governor a petition, asking him
to prolong the life of Temple until
his case could be thoroughly gone
into. They also asked the Governor
to give Temple a lease on life.
After these petitions had been re-
ceived by the Governor the follow
ing story of his action came from
Newport last night:
Newport, Tenn, Nov. 13.-Gov.
Hooper tonight wired his Private
Secretary to grant a reprieve for
Temple until November 25. The
Governor received information today
that application had been made to
him for such reprieve In order that

ing for the reprieve are several white
ministers of Nashville, including DR.

said tonight that he was totally ac

any instance declined a reprieve
when it was requested.

Special to the Globe:

Special to the Globe:
Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 8, 1912.-At
the Union Meeting of the Independ-
ent Order of Immaculates, held in
this city November Sth, the question
of the next meeting place Of the Su-
preme Grand Lodge was discussed,
and it was decided that owing to the
fact that Kansas City had only one
small lodge it would work hardship
on them to care for the Supreme
Grand Lodge. 1t was also suggested
that it would be impractical to go
to that city owing to the high cost
Of living, and the shortage Of the cot
ton crop as result of the food that
visited this and other sections of the
country last spring. It was further
pointed out by those favoring Mem
phis, that Kansas City Is far removed
from the certer Of membership of
the Order, which would mean that
the majority of the delegates would
have to pay the maximum railroad
fare to get to the Grand Lodge, which
would prevent the lodges and courts

Gated in, the membership of the Su
preme Grand Lodge, with Georgia
Alabama and Tennessee to the East
Mississippi to the South, Texas, Ar
kansas and Kansas to the West. II
was the geographical situation that
induced the officers and members Of
the local lodges to invite the Supreme
Grand Lodge to hold its session here
in 1918. A petition Is being drawn
up to be presented to Hon. D. L. Mil
ler Supreme Grand Master, and his
Cabinet, inviting them to come tt

Deputy Grand Master of Tennessee

When the officials at the Davidson
county Jail were informed Wednes-
day night by a Democrat reporter
of the respite that had been granted
the convicted boy, Leo Temple, and
asked that a statement might be got
ten from him, they replied that they
did not want to wake Temple, as he
had not gotten any sleep the night
before and was at that time sleeping
soundly. They also said that to
arouse Temple and talk with him
would wake all the other prisoners.

HIGH SCHOOL WINS
GAME WEDNESDAY
BY CLOSE SCORE
SOLDIERS HAVE THE. GAME IN
HAND UNTIL THE NINTH IN
MING is REACHED.
Both Pitchers Do Fine Work, Minor
Striking Out Nine Men-Only One
Earned Pun in Game-Best Two In
Three.

The best game of baseball seen
here this season was played on Mill
larry Field Wednesday afternoon be-
tween the c. M. A. and the High
School teams the score bling to 2
in favor of the High School.
1t was snappy throughout and the
scores were practically all made on
errors with the exception of one
earned run made by the High School
team made in the ninth inning.
There was scoring done only in the
second and ninth innings. In the
second Lockwood and Harris made
the circuit on the bases for the sol
diers, and in the ninth Redding, John
son and Benderman did the same
thins for the High School, thus win
ming the game.
The cadets had their opponents
beaten until the ninth, when a
scratch hit and errors allowed the
winning scores. With two men down
and McAdams on second McGehee
knocked a long fly to center. Mead
ans failed to run until after the
fielder had dropped the ball and hen
he was caught at the plate by fail
uie to slide. At the end of the sixth
inning Spoueyman took McAdams
place. A catch by Witherspoon and
the pitching of Minor both in the
ninth were features of the game.
With the score three and two in ia
for OF his team mates, and no further
opportunity at the bat Minor struck
out two of the batters who faced him
in that inning, and Witherspoon took
a long fly from McDaniels bat that
would have heen good for all the
sacks
Me;Iehee pitched a good game, and
the soldier lads think he would have
won with proper support. Lockwood
played sta ball for C. M. A., while
Johnson and Mcdaniel were the stars
for the High School.
Speaking Of the High School team
this morning one of the faculty at G..
M. A. praised them very much, and
said they were fine set Of young
men and played good game. He
said he believed they could defeat
any Middle Tennessee High School
team.

MISSION c. OSES At
ST. Peters CHURCH
BY THE ARCHDEACON
WENT TO FRANKLIN THIS MORN
ING WHERE HE WILL BE
FOR A FEW DAYS.
The GLORIES OF CHRISTIANITY
Delivers Heart to Heart Talk TO the
vestry and to the Members of the
Church Admonishing Them to
Stand by the Pastor.

The closing sermon of Archdeacon
Weber at the Episcopal church on
Wednesday night was fitting climax
to what has been most remarkable
series, when he discussed The Eight
Glories of Christianity" From the
outset the preacher has shown that
he was not only thoroughly familiar
with his subjects, but that he could
and did make forceful scriptural APP
plioa+ion to all his arguments.
AS the series of sermons proceed
ed the congregations grew larger un-
til the last two or three there has
been crowded church and the
speaker has seemed to be lifted up
thereby, and went beyond the expec-
tations of bis hearers
The text for the sermon Wednes-
day night was the third verse of the
eighty-seventh Psalm GLORIOUS
things are spoken of thee, o, city of
God"
The eight glories as sub-divided
by the speaker were:
l. God misses us sore.
2. Glory in Jesus Christ.
8. Christianity, the unity and har-
monious portion of all right and
beauty.
A. Christianity, the progress or
lne. MI
5. The vision of splendid maEnood
on the throne.
6. Christ the kingdom of God.
Z. The church is the body of Christ,
by which he works among men.
s. Cod and man, respectively, each
others home.
Archdeacon Weber elaborated on
each of these subdivisions in a most
eloquent and earnest way, and pre-
sented much of new thought and
Christian nelp to those who were for
tInate enough to hear this, his clos
ing discourse, in Columbia.
After disposing of the primal SUBJ
ject Of his sermon he delivered a
heart to heart talk to the church Of
ficers, stating that it was the duty of
the officials and the members to up
hold the pastor, and that man should
not use the Sabbath simply as a day
Of Tecuperation in order to be able
to again enter the mad chase for
money. Sunday is Gods day, and
He has right to expect and demand
that 1t be used to His glory. The
speaker admonished the vestry that
the church was Gods property and
the same care and business pru-
dence should be exercised in its man
agement as was exercised in COM
mercial affairs.
After the dismissal large number
went into the vestry to express them
selves personally to the minister,
and to assure him of their kindly
feeling.

1920 o'clock and will then have the
preliminaries for the regular contest
which will take place at o'clock at
night. At the morning gathering the
young men will be divided into three
