bishops Of the church upon the com
mission on federation of all the color
ed Methodist churches throughout the
world upon which he is the ranking
lay member In the matter of organi-
cations DIR. Penn has notable career.
He has to his credit the Epworth
League in his own church. which in
the past sixteen years he has built up
until it occupies the position of the
best and most widely organized Chris
tian society among the young colored
people, yielding by far the largest re-
suits.
He engineered the first and most
successful Negro exposition movement,
during which time he also called to-
gether the Negro physicians, giving
birth to the idea which has since re-
suited in the forceful National Med
ical association.
Through the national Negro young
peoples congress DR.. Penn offered for
the first time in all history move
ment whereby Negroes of all denomi.
nations could come together In one
great Christian movement for the race.
The last movement which he pushed
to a successful conclusion was that of
ouadruple conventions among the col
ored conferences in the Methodist
Episcopal church whereby several be-
nevolent causes among the colored peo-
pie could be placed in the way of self
support.
Out of these conventions came the
decision to observe the fiftleth ami
versary of the emancipation Of the
Negro by the NJ. e. church on behalf
of the Freedman Aid society to raise
$500. 900 for the endowment of schools.
Dr. Penn, the originator of the conven-
ton movement, could not foresee at
the time of putting forward these con.
ventions that in less than two years he
would be called to the Office of one of
the corresponding secretaries OF the
Freedman Aid societies and given the
task of pushing forward the great
jubilee movement. which was the out
growth of these conventions.
Again, DR.. Penn twenty years
ago. when he lived in Lynchburg. Va.
undertook to take the lead with other,
in having the local church. of which
he was member, give $1,000 In one
sum for the establishment Of the Vir-
ginia Collegiate and Industrial insd-
'tute in that city. now one of the Freed
man Aid schools.
His church gave this sum OF money.
Perhaps the most effective argument
which he will have to use in securing
funds throughout the church for edu-
cation will be that one church through
his own efforts contributed such sum
of money for the education Of Negro
children. emphasizing at this early
time self help upon their part.
His success in these and other eff
forts leads the people of the country to
feel that DR. Penn will bring to the
Freedman Aid society. in addition TO
his energetic and forceful manner. the
ripe experience he has gained In all
theSe activities. and thus be the means
of bringing about larger results for the
work of the schools In the south that
depend almost entirely upon the Freed
| uuan Aid society for their maintenance

we'll known by reason of his construc-
tive work in several fields of racial en-
deavor. The work of the Freedman
Aid society needs at this time man
of forceful character and energetic
manner such as DR.. Penn Is known to
be- He Is peculiarly known az man
who has been successful at everything
be has attempted.
He called the attention of the coun-
try to the remarkable achievement OF
the Negro race through the success OF
the exhibit at the Cotton States expo
sition. held in Atlanta in 1895. because
of the painstaking care and general
forethought that directed his every
movement as head of the departmnt.
1t is generally known. too. that
through his invitation he gave that
eminent educator. DIR. Booker T. Wash
ington. the opportunity at the Cotton
States exposition to promulgate his
gospel of amity and mutual helpfulness
between the races. for which he has
since become famous the world over.
Born Educator and Well Known Author
DR.. Penn came to this position from
the public schools of his home town.
Lynchburg. Va. AS principal of the
school in Lynchburg he not only sue
ceeded in his work. but drew cODstd-
erable attention to himself through the
authorship of distinctively race work.
1.-THE Afro American Press" This book
of 600 pages was an authority at the
time upon the relation Of the Negro
~F
With reference to this book Bishop
Vincent said. THE pen is the sword
Of the African by which he will win
place and power" The present volume
is a library of valuable history and
biography and picture gallery as
well. DIR. Penn has since written "Self
Education" and ''The United Negro
and is a joint author Of Graded Sun
day Schools"
He is perhaps more widely known
among the young people of the race re-
gardless of denomination than any 9th
er churchman among us. Thousands
have heard of eminent prelates and
other men who have stood in the lime
light Throughout the country as he
has gone on his mission as assistan,
secretary of the Epworth League be
has come in contact with young mer
| and women. has had heart to hear
! talks with them and has been Of grea'
help and inspiration to hundreds.
His success in the Epworth League
has been reflected in the many field
into which he has been called. in all Of
which he served with particular dis
tinction in the matter of genuine sery
Ice. 1t is quite fair to say that DR.
Penn first emphasized to Negro church
men the value Of numbers and organi
Zation in all departments Of churcf
work.
ForesfuI Leader Among Young PsepIs
While in the young peoples Christian
and educational congress he sought t.
unite all the churches into one impres
sive organization that at least woul'
serve to emphasize the readiness o
our young people to respond to capable
and forceful leadership. The move
ment has its reflection in the man,
Sunday school and missionary organi
xations which the different denomfna
lions have since taken up of their owl
accord
It y therefore peculiarly appropfiat'
that he should be continued " n

BOSTON, Mass, May 13.-Rev G.
W T. Richeson, Avis Linnell's slayer,
was again today submitted to Cruel
ling test by Doctors Stedman, Frost
and Tuttle, in the music room Of the
sheriff's residence at the Charles
street Jail: Today's tests we're similar
to those to which the minister-murder-
er was subjected in yesterdays nine
hour examination.
The three alienists showed signs OF
fatigue when they called at the Jail to-
day. Richeson showed none. He had
slept well last night and after a
hearty breakfast this morning walked
cheerily from his cell to the music
room in company with two guards who
attend him night and day.
! 1t is expected the reports OF the
three alienists, with those OF Doctors
Prince and Briggs will be thoroughly
gone over by Governor Foss this
I evening. On these reports will de
pend the governors determination as
to recommending leniency for Richie
son to his executive council which
meets Wednesday. II the majority Of
the alienists say Richeson is sane, the
ex- Baptist minister will die in the
!. chair shortly after IL o'clock next Sun
!, day night.
| There is little likelihood Richesol
Twill be transferred to the death Gel
at Charlestown prison before Thursda
morning. Fear of nervous relaps
may prevent his removal before Sur
day. In the meantime Warden Bridge
, of Charlestown prison today begal
his gruesome preparations for receiy
ing Richeson.
The death cell was put in order T.
prevent any possible "untoward event
during the execution, the wire
through which will pass the dealt
current, were completely gone over
and the current thoroughly tested.
A jury of twelve citizens for tn
state, two specialists to be selecte'
by Warden Bridges and the wardel
himself, will attend the execution
i Warden Bridges. in whom full author
,ity is vested, may decide not to per
nit representative Of the press t.
attend. All these arrangements wer
started today despite a rumor tha
Richeson may never enter the deaf
door.
