Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 9.-The
heirs of the late bob" Church
have decided to stubbornly con-
test the decision recently rendered
by Judge j. S. Galloway of the
Probate Court, who ruled that Mrs.
Laura Napier of Vancouver, B. c.,
and daughter of the testator by
a slave marriage, was entitled to a
share of the Church estate, which
is valued at nearly $I,000,000.
The attorneys for the heirs will
appeal Judge Galloway's decision
to higher court. Judge Gallo
way ruled that no laws subsequent
ly enacted in other states could af-
feet the Tennessee law of inheri-
tance, and that Mrs. Napier, who
was a child of the testator. was en-
titled to share of the estitled to a
share of the estate. Mrs Napier
is the daughtea of the late bob"
Church by slave marriage. Mrs.
Napier's mother was separated
from Mr.. Church the latter being
brought to Memphis. Under the
laws of Louisiana such a separation
constituted divorce.

Mrs. l.. Bracket Bishop, a
wealthy Chicago woman, is plan
ming to adopt fifteen motheriess
infants under one year old. No
two of any one nationality are to
be accepted, and whether they be
German, Irish, Chinese, Negro,
Arab or what not, they must be
simon pure. Her object in gath
ering this universal family is to
test the Monte ssori system which
allows the child to bring out its
own individuality, and this brings
us face to face with the question
of shaping a child's career, should
the parents insist upon them pur-
suing certain courses when they
are distasteful to the child. 1t
would seem better results are OBJ
tained in any field of endeavor one
chooses when it is to their liking.
We see this exempIified every day.
The novel experiment Mrs. Bishop
is trying will be watched by the
scientific world with a great deal
of interest.

GREETINGS

Christmastide is here again, and
the members of Christendom can
feel Justly proud in the fact OF
their being loyal to the celebration
of Christmas-day-a day which is
ever memorable as the beginning
of the work of rescue of fallen hu-
manity, when the Supreme Being
out of pure love took upon himself
the form of man and entered into
the world to institute the plan of
Redemption and Salvation.
While among us there may be a
few atheists, aenostics, etc., yet
we are perfectly justified in cele-
brating in the highest and best
possible form from year to year
Christmas; as when we reflect on
the great festivities engaged in by
the followers of M Mohammed, Budd-
ha, Confuscius, etc which did not
last day or week, but extend
ing from four to twelve weeks,
there is every good reason for
Christians indulging in the sea-
sons merriment and the celebra-
ton of this particular day.
One of our hymn writers wrote
the following:
There is place where spirits
blend,
Where friend holds fellowship
with friend, etc."-and in ap-
plying this to the matter before us,
we may say "There is time, etc, "
and surely if there should be a
time or an event when this should
be put into effect, it is during
Christmastide, as what with the
exchanging of greetings, the inter
changing of ideas, the mutual and
reciprocal action in the offering of
gifts, there surely is something
warrautable in the commemoration
and celebration of the Birthday
of the Greatest Leader of mankind
the world had ever seen. There
fore let us enjoy ourselves to the
utmost and while engaging in our
pleasures remember the quality
of virtue which is the essence of
all pleasures.
peace on earth good will to-
wards men" Merry Christmas
Joyous Yuletide!

the people of Boston spectacle of
unusual interest and great beauty.
The colored people Of Boston
made strong showing presenting
a float illustrating the Crispus
Atucks incident, the attack on
Fort Wagner, and the part played
by the colored women in the Civil
War.
The three floats devoted to the
part the Negro had played in the
wars of the country were of espec-
ial interest. The choice of sub
jects, also, showing as they did his
share in the general history of the
nation, as against any essentially
Negroid contribution, was seen to

wise plans to secure eminent law
yers to prosecute this woman.
That the time has come to put a
stop to these women killing men
for nothing, we agree with the
above, but if these so called aristo-
Gratis would stay in their places,
things, perhaps, would take on a
different color. If they belong to
the better class, why not keep out
of the company of lewd women ?
There are plenty of nice, quiet
girls who are trying to live respect
able lives and whowould be glad to
have these first class gentlemen in
their company, and wonld, if call
ed upon. make excellent wives.
But as rule, nowadays, the boys
who get good fire-side training and
are we'll cared for, would rather be
in the lewd class of good timers,
and at the end the result is fatal.
This woman claimed she killed
Brown because he took the money
she gave him and spent it on
another woman. This may be true
and it may net be, but think! he
worked for his step father at a sal
airy of $125.00 per month. With
, this she gave ont the above cause
to justify her murderous act; but
what can be expected? You are
judged by the company you keep.
These lewd women, wine houses,
poker games and all.night dances,
etc., are the things that most of
our young men love and lots of
young women. OF course when
these tragedies happen, it brings
shame and disgrace as well as sor-
SOW.
Let the young men who are
spending their living upon these
women, learn to select girl of the
better type and go before the altar
and have her made his wife, and
thereby bring happiness to his
mother and father by his right liv-
ing. You might be member of
the best family and leader of the
best societies, and your associates
are of the lower class, and espec-
tally lewd women and drunkards
! etc, you are judged just the same.
Nine-tenths of these killings are
being done by just this class, and
when you begin to associate with
this class, you may rest assured
that they will have no respect for
| you nor your parents. They will
meet you on the street and in any
company, and say mean things
to you.
These lewd women and sports
have already taken the majority of
the better class of men. They
bait them by giving them good
clothes, something to eat etc, and
not allowing them to work, and
paying their fines, if any. The
young men should learn again that
