Y. M. G. A. last Saturday afternoon
and evening from 230 to $50 o'clock
Several members of the committee on
management were on hand to receive
the guests and show them through the
building. The friends came steadily,
in twos, and threes, and in larger
groups. The fact that the Young
Women's Christian Association on
Washington street was receiving
at the same time, made it easy for
them to visit both places. They
played music and games and had a
peasant time in general. Over two
hundred were received during the OPP
ening hours. The refreshments were
in charge of Mrs. Gilmore-Smith and
Mr.. w. E. Parks.

SHILOH BAPTIST MISSION.
Corner 31st and Walnut Streets, Rev.
T. e. Henderson, Pastor.

Shiloh will no longer hold it's SER
vices at the above named place, be-
cause of the fact that the church
building belongs to the c. B. &c Q. r.
r. Co., and the railroad company has
informed the mission that the mission
will have to assume responsibility for
any accident that may occur by peo-
pie crossing their tracks, going to and
from the church. The members of the
mission felt that this was more re-
sponsibility than they were able to as
sumo, therefore in regular church
meeting the members voted to turn
the church building back to the rail-
road company. Shiloh Mission will
therefore select another place of 'yor-

Booker T. Washington and the inter-
est he manifests in our people proves
him to be a rare character of whom
the race may be justly proud At the
close of his speech there was a rush
on the part of his audience to grasp
his hand and express their very great
approval of his message.
At the evening hour our choir rem
dered to great advantage a cantata
The Christmas King" before a splen-
did crowd. Through the courtesy of
DR.. R. A. Randolph, the members of
the choir were supplied with fragrant
bouquets of carnations. This token of
appreciation seemed to have greatly
inspired the singers and the verdict
of the audience was the latter rendi-
ton was better than the former.

The Rev. John Adams, pastor of st.
Paul A. M. E. church, Pueblo, Colo,
was in the city several days this
week, the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Rob-
ert L. Pope. While here he received
a notice from the clerk of the SUI
preme Court of Colorado, informing
him that he had been admitted as at
torney and counselor to practice as
such in all the courts of the state.
This distinguished preacher-lawyer is
an experienced as well as a brilliant
lawyer will doubtless make good in
Colorado. He has practiced for a
number of years with signal success
in the states of Washington and
South Carolina. And it was during the
time he held membership of the bar
of the latter state that he was admit
ted to the bar of the Supreme Court
of the United States. He will make
his headquarters in Pueblo, where he
is pastoring.

great German shipping magnate who
is present of the Hamburg American
Line, has been sent to Jail for three
months at his own request. MAXI
milan Ballin," says the Auckland

Zealand for many years. He worked
as a bookkeeper and received remit
tances from his brother. After the
outbreak of war the remittance
money stopped, and, being for
eigner, he could not get the class of
work he was capable of doing. He
gradually drifted, became i'll, and af-
ter being unemplyed for a consider
able time, he went to the police sta
tion and asked to be arrested. The
court said the sentence was not pun
ishment but charity to a man who
was helpless to look after himself in

question Of recounting the remain
ing precincts will be argued before

(By Associated Press.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The Senate
on vote of 32 to Id decided to take
up the Owens corrupt practices bill,
greatly curtailing the campaign ex-
penditures and imposing heavy pen
alties for violations. Seven Repub
licans voted with the Democrats to
take up the bill, seven Democrats
being against it. The vote does
not necessarily forecast any DELAY
in adjourning Congress. as the Sem
ate had nothing else before it. Ad-
ministration leaders expressed the
opinion that it could not reach a
vote. The Republican leaders said
they would not let 1t reach vote.
They planned to adopt a concurrent
resolution fixing the time to adjourn
as quick as the revenue bill con-
ferees indicate they are agreed.
This would end the debate.
