Hiah-class Vaudeville.

Manager Fowler pleased everybody
with his bill at the Orpheum the last
half of this week, for it was a diver
sifed one. The headliner is the act
of Don Carlos Fantoche Co., which is
made up of a great company of ma
rionettes who performed in a great
scenic theatre, with boxes and all fill
ed with images that act and applaud
in truly life like manner The act
must be seen to be appreciated.
Wright & Clayton had quite a novelty
in contortion, which they have termed
A Study in Twists. They get them
selves into every conceivable shape,
much to the wonderment of all. Miss
Evelyn Dare a another of her de-
lightful songs which she rendered
well. Garrett & Boutwell, have a neat
little farce which they have named
Music Mad and which they put 81
very well. The single turn on the bill
Is Walter Nelson, who is known the
country over as the greatest Of all bar
rel jumping experts and he has a novel
act. All of the shows open and close
with the Coscio orchestra and the
splendid Orpheumscope moving pic

The Theatres
Romantic comedx Drama,

The Land That God Forgot, taken
from Goethe's great dramatic poem of
that name was the bill for the last half
of the present week which the Grand
Stock Co. presented for the first time
last night to a big audience. 1t is a
story of Arizona and the old New
England states, which tells of a mans
great character predominating over a
highbred woman's will. The scenic
effects by Mr.. Borman were fine, and
especially was this the case in the Sec
ond act(up on the top of the Rockies.
The principal parts, only two in num-
Der, Steve Hunt and Ruth Gordon were
in the capable hands of c.. G. Miller
and Miss Virginia Zolman, who were
at their best, Miss Zolman playing the
part of the deceived woman in a
splendid manner. Mrs. Madge Carson
also had a good part in that of Mrs.
Gordon, mother of the heroine, the
other members of the company being
well cast.

We have not only proven that we
could survive in a state of freedom,
but that we could live in the pres
ence of the white man and imbibe
something from his civilization at
every point of contact that has made
us stronger, better and more useful
citizens. When the white man
touh the native Australian years ago
the Australian began to disappear
The same was true of the Hawaiian,
the same Of the American Indian
but the Negro unlike any Of these,
fourishes and prospers in the pres
ence of the mans civilization.

who met with $50 white men and

we began to find a solid platform on
which both races could stand. We
agreed upon the absolute integrity
and purity of the blood of both races
and this was agreed upon to a man
Second, we agreed upon absolute
justice to both races, whatever the
conditions were and third, we agree
upon "a wide open door of opportuni

must and will open the door.

lee Celebration-Seventeen Years

Religious Concern Recited by Sec
rotary Richard H. Boyd, LII. D., In
Annual Report-Constructi Work
Of an EX-slave Who Knows How
to Manage.
Blazing the way for a higher civ
ilization among the Negro's religious
and educational life, Richard Henry
Boyd, d. D., LII. D., secretary Of the
National Baptist Publishing Board
and the Home Mission Board of the
National Baptist Convention, showed
the remarkable progress made by
the two boards under his direct
supervision during the past few
years.
In making his report to the Ma.
tional Baptist Convention that is in
session in this city observing the
fifty years of freedom in the form
Iof religious jubilee, he showed con
clusively that when it comes to the
constructive part of the Negro
whether he be in the educational, re-
ligious or skilled labor world, he has
Ia remarkable part.
The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1913-09-26

With practically no aid and with
only plaudits and flattering compli
ments from a stranger here and
there he has been able by the
courage of his convictions to carry
on religious publishing concern
that has handled during this
year, 1913, over 100000, giving EN-
ployment to more than 200 individ
Iuals and operating a missionary de,
partment at cost Of over $4,000
for the past year.
But the gigantic strides made by
the boards have reached such a pro-
portion that they appear to staggeI
one as they look up at the great
heights attained in proficiency and
excellence.
The record of the institution,
which is just seventeen years old,
as shown in DR.. Boyd's report, ex
ceeds the old motto Excelsior" In
point of circulation this report shows
that more than 100000 copies OF
religious Sunday-school periodicals
have gone throughout the confines OF
the Convention, and that they have
paid the government, railroads, ex-
press and telegraph companies more
than $1,000 in the transmission OF
their mails, messages, products and
output, and that they are leading
the entire race in the publishing and
business world in the high grade,
intricate printing and publishing ma
chinery.
The Convention was loud in its
applause in receiving the report Of
this ex-slave, who has known no
university training, except (what is
often said of him) that which is got
out of the Swamp university" a
school which he claims existed
around the firesides in slavery times,
where only a pine knot served as the
lamp giving light by which to read.
Dr. Boyd was twenty-one years old
before he learned his alphabet, but
lays no claim whatever to having ac-
complished anything except through
prayer and perseverance and by the
faith Of his people. The National
Baptist Publishing House, as the re-
port shows, occupies seven brick
buildings located at the corner OF
Second avenue, North, and Locust
street, Nashville, Tenn, and is the
pride of more than 100000 commu-
nicants In this denomination.
It has often been said and was
brought out very clearly in this re-
port that they are supplying church
es with everything the church may
need, fro ma picture lesson card for

THE ADDRESS OF
DR.. WASHINGTON
Thousands Hear Distinguished Educator
at National Baptist Convention
Points out Some Injustices Practiced
Urges Negroes to Contend for
Dues-Makes Appeal for Chill
dren-Need Better Education
al FaciIities-Takes Rap at
Railroads.

This is the twelfth time that you
have invited me to deliver an address
before the National Baptist Conven-
tion which, in my opinion is the larg-
est delegated organization of our race
in this country and believe any
where in the world
There is a tremendous RESPONSE
bility involved in bringing together
so large a body of our race once a
year. There is responsibility for the
expenses of travelling and entertain.
ment responsibility for the loss OF
valuable time away from ones occu.
patton. How can you make this
great gathering so valuable to our
race and to our country that every.
one will feel that the time and money
spent in coming here is worth while!
More and more an increasing de
gree the Christian Church has got to
face the social problem of the day
The church in an increasing degree
must realize that the problem of to
day is to save the soul OF the man by
saving the body
am glad that l have an opportun
ity in addressing this important or
ganization here in the proud capital
of the state Of Tennessee in connect
ion with the celebration OF the Eff
tieth Anniversary of the freedom ol
our race. There is in the city OF
Nashville by reason of the liberal spir
it shown by the white people and the
unusual opportunities for education
of our race perhaps the most ad
vanced group Of our people, all things
considered, to be found anywhere in
the South. This, then I repeat, is
fit place and fit occasion in which
to consider some Of the achievements
of the past and some Of the future.
What we have ACCOMPLISHED during
the past fifty years has been largely
through the influence of the church
What We are to attain to in the neal
future is going to be largely the re
suit Of the influence and teachings
of the church
One thing stands out definite, cleal
and distinct in the achievement dur
ing the last fifty years. We have
proven to the world that We can sur
vive from a physical point of view
in state of freedom. There were
not few who predicted more fifty
years ago when the Negro was made
free that he would disappear as {
race. At the beginning Of freedom
we numered four millions. Aftel
fifty years of freedom we now nun
Der over ten millions, a population
larger than that of the whole OF Can
ada and twice as large as that O
Australia. We have in the UniteC
States as many of our people as there
are persons all told in Norway, Swed
en-, Switzerland and Denmark.
