LEAVES PRIsoNN FINDS HIMSELF
RICH.

Montgomery, Ala, November 30
Sometimes truth is stranger than
fiction, but not often. Sometimes a
man wakes up in the morning to find
himself famous, but it is not often
that man languishes in Jail for
twenty-four years, is paroled, and goes
hometo find himself the possessor OF
snug fortune.
Such is the case with Albert Kel
ley, of Colbert County. who was
paroled by Governor O'Neal a few
days ago. Kelley was sent up in 1889
to serve life Imprisonment for mur.
der, and after twenty-four years OF
faithful service to the state he was
given his freedom.
Before his conviction Kelley in.
vested few dollars in some Birming.
ham property, when the Magis City
was but small village. The pur.
chase price was insignificant, proba.
bly, less than $500, perhaps less than
5000, but when Kelly got out of
prison he discovered that his proper.
ty was worth between $4,000 and
$4,000.
The story was given out at the
Capitol, but no one could say where
the property is located. It is certain,
however, that Kelley still possesses a
title to the property and that the
fortune he has will be sufficient to
him in great comfort during
the remainder of his life.

Paducah, KY, Dec. 6.-Dr. S. L.
Howard, Secretary of the Evangelistic
Bureau of the A. M. E. Connection,
came to Paducah and found the spirit
ual condition of the famous old Bnrks
Chapel at low tide, due largely to the
members devoting several years to
the collection of means with which
they have erected one of the most
magnificent and well appointed church
buildings owned by Negroes in the
state. Because of the spiritual le
thargy which had so long hung over
the membership like mighty pail
there was some doubt and misgivings
on the part of the few faithful as tC
the propriety of going to the expense
Of having DR.. Howard come from
Nashville to conduct revival. After
fifteen days, when sixty-seven pers
oons had been converted, the ma
jority of whom were strong men, ant
81 added to the church and $25OUt
were collected, all doubts and mis-
givings faded away and the common
expression on all sides was, Surely
this man is sent to do this particular
kind of work"
Dr. Howard Is no sensationalist
He makes use Of no catchy phrases
or vulgar expressions so common te
the modern Evangelist. He has ne
set methods but has departed from
the old time custom of preaching ser
mons descriptive of hell fire, damna
ton, eternal destruction, at the close
OF which call for 'mourners." He
first, before preaching, invites the
unsaved to come toward and SIT OF
the front seat and listen while he
explains to them the Bible.
During the fifteen nights he never
failed to have the front seats filled
with men, and women who sat will
attentive ears while he, in a plain
simple, logical, and powerful manner
explained to them the Scriptures. His
appeal is to the intellect and the rea
son, and not to the feelings and emo
tions, and he clinches the truth with
apt illustrations drawn from every
day live. He does this with a logic
that is convincing; a pathos that Is
melting and with a power that is
overmastering.
The intelligent manner in which he
conducts his revivals; his simple
method of explaining the scripture
to the unsaved, and his tact in get
ting on friendly terms with the sin
ners and getting them to feel al
home" on the front seat, are RESPONSE
BILE for the large number of men con.
veted in his meetings.
He left here under telegram call
to conduct meeting in st. Paul, St
Louis, Mo, for DR.. W. Sampson
Brooks.

joyed an especial privilege last week
of having visite fro Gov. Hooper

of the Board. The former urged upon
those who are in attendance at this
institution to cultivate race pride, q
thing so much lacking in the Negro,
but not to the detriment of the love
for the races. He went on further to
show that there are too many things
of which the Negro, as a race, should
be proud, and so many things good
peculiar to it. that should be culti-
waited and perpetuated; as, for in
stance, the singing of the Jubilee
Melodies, which no other race can
sing as the Negro The remarks OF
all were very encouraging, showing
that the whole heart and soul was in
the work which they had undertaken,
namely, the education Of tie Negro
youth of the State of Tennessee. Aft
er partaking of dinner, to which they
had so cordially been invited by Pres
ident Hale, the Board expressed them
selves we'll pleased with the school In
all of its phases.

gan Monday December End, with an
increased enrolment in all depart
ments Within a few days the Indus
trial and Agricultural Departments

.SUFFRAGIST AFFIIIATION IN THE.
PRESENT CAMPAIGN

The Beacon is the bearer OF ames-
sage from the women of the Massa-
Fchusett's delegation to the conyen-
ton of the new party to the women
Of Minnesota and especially to those
whose sympathies have thus far
leaned toward the Democratic party.
The message was, that women who
believe that woman has her place in
our politics and that her natural and
inherent rights in this respect should
be recognized and established by law
may no longer consistently ally
themselves with the Democratic party
whose platform gives her no prom
Use of recognition and whose candi-
date seems oblivious of her very ex-
istence; that the allegiance Of such
women and of all women belongs to
the party whose candidate for Presi-
dent has unequivocally declared for
womans suffrage, whose candidate
for vice president strove so indefat-
lgably, so earnestly, so powerfully
and so effectively to establish wom-
ans suffrage in his own state, whose
platform declares not only for the
political rights of women, but for
the intelligent and effective protec-
ton of women and children from a
trade enslavement and from home
conditions that are fast taking on
theproportions of anational reproach
ifnot national scandal.
In respect of womens votes and
their attendant reformative influence
the old parties occupy identical posi-
tons. Why should Tamany Hall
with alliance with machine rule and
vice in every city in the country de-
sire votes for women? To bring the
matter little nearer home, why
should the Republican machine in
Minnesota with its alliance with the
liquor interests, the railroad inter-
ests, the steel trust and with every
other influence with negotiable sup
port to dispose of at election times
favor votes for women? Why should
either of these parties standing as
they do, either by declaration or by
Inference for the perpetuation Of
things as they are." for the policy
of ''let well enough alone, standing
as they do for the protection of
monopoly and greed and in defense
of the powers that Cypress, why in
deed should these or either of them
favor votes for women? The mes
sage entrusted to the Beacon by the
women from Massachusetts to the
women of Minnesota is indeed liv-
ing message, pertinent alike to the
degraded standards moral, political
and economic of the old parties and
to the standards set up by the party
of the new order launchedin Chicago
last week. Cannon Falls Beacon.
