Race Question in a Sunday School
Convention.
Atlanta, Ga., 4.pril 29. The
prbceedings of the. ninth triennial
International Sunday-school Con
vention today were enlivened by a
heated discussion over the placing
of negroes on one of the committees.
The naming of the nominating
committee precipitated the trouble.
When Georgia was reached in the
roll-call, W. S. Witham was placed
in nomination. Somebody named
Ilev. JE. R. Carter, colored, ana it
was insisted that he was the choice
of the state. This was denied by
Second Vice President Green, who
said that Witham had been made
the nominee of the state delegation.
Then the state of South Carolina
was called for its vote. A white
man wag named, ana a negro was
nominated by a negro. Dr. B. F.
Jacobs, who was presiding at the
time, announced .that no state could
have more than one delegate. '
A score of speeches were made in
less" than the same number of min
utes. Amendments and substitutes
came thick and fast and the, audi
ence was in an uproar.
Delegate Neil, of Washington, D.
C, who had caused' considerable
comment among the white peo
ple present by leaving that por
tion of the house set apart and
placarded for the negro delegates
and sitting with the white people
of bis delegation, was introduced
by a white delegate. i
('I am representing the District
of Columbia' said Delegate Neil,
"and when I left home I thought I
would sit with my delegation, but
nowjwe are separated. I want , to
know howwe will tfave any repre
sentation, and how we will be heard.
If white delegates only are to be
placed on the committees and white
men will not sit with negroes, I
Would be glad to ascertain what we
can accomplish by ourselves.
"TEe negro is making rapid head
way in Christian work, and I ap
peal to this convention not to dis
courage ue, for we may lose -years
before we will get ta the place we
now occupy."
The excitement was now at fever
heat, and many delegates were on
their feet in an effort at recogni
tion. Second Vice President Green,
of Atlanta, finally secured the floor.
He said; "The negroes have repre
sentatives from this state on other
committees, and that is the reason
the colored man is not one of the
nominating committee. We live
here among these people. We re
spect them. We treat them right.
We treat them as nicely as we do
our own color, isut we do draw
the line when it comes to sitting to
gether in the same pew." (Ap
plause.) -
The matter was finally referred
to the executive committee, which
late in the afternoon reported in
favor of Mr. Witham. :

Rehearsed His Own Funeral.
Chicago, 111., April 29. Parker
R. Mason, a -millionaire property
owner, died yesterday in his old-
fashioned mansion near the lake,
not far from the Marine Hospital.
Before his death he had the burial
service read, funeral hymns sung,
selected his pall-bearers and made
every preparation for his funeral.
Just before his death he sum
moned into his presence the quar
tette that was to sing at his funeral
and had them rehearse the hvmns
to be sung over his lifeless body,
afterwhich he paid them for-their
services. Then he asked to see
Rev. John Hoke, the Presbyterian
minister of Washington Heights,
who had often been his companion
on fishing excursions. He showed
the clergyman the place where "he
wished! to be buried, paid him for
the funeral sermon he wanted
preached and bad the minister re
peat the text and a part of the
sermon to him.
Next he paid for his coffin,
settled all the undertaker's fees,
picked out the suit he -wished to
wear in his coffin and after desig
nating that a huge Jboulder, which
had been dug up in his yard thirty
years agobe placed over his grave,
closed his eyes and died.
Mr. Mason was fifty-six years of
age,, was born in Chicago and
leaves a wife and four daughters.
A Cuban Kick. '
Havana, May 1. -An order of
Collector of Customs Bliss forbid
ding the importation of firearms
has caused some dissatisfaction,
many Cubans believing the step is
taken to prevent increasing the
strenght of Cuban forces in case a
collision should follow a protracted
stay of Americans. Some call it a
regular Spanish measure, in that it
savors of - force. There appears,
however, to be no objection in high
political or army circles. Anti
American sentiment continues
rampant.
Chaplain A. A. Pruden, of the
late First North Carolina Regi
ment, has been called to ihe rector
ship of Christ church, in Savan

Oak Ridgre Institute's Fine Record on
i the Ball Field This Year.
I -.''
Oak Ridge, N. C May 1; 1899.
The base ball season for the Oak
Ridge team closed on the 27th ult.,
with the second victory over A. and M.
College. The record of Oak Ridge is
one the school is proud of. Of the
eleven games scheduled Oak Ridge won
eight, lost two, and one (with Cornell)
was prevented by rain. The following
is a resume of the victories and defeats :

This puts Oak Ridge second only to
the University in the school teams of
the State and gives her the champion-
ehip of schools and colleges in the base
ball as well as foot ball for the year.
All games have been entirely free from
bickerings and unpleasantness, Not a
decision oi the umpire has been dispu
ted during the season and the utmost
good feeling has been the feature of
the athletic contests on every ground
abroad and at home.
The winning of the championship of
schools at the "Track Athletic Meet"
at Chapel Hill, Saturday last, was the
crowing even of a year of victory on
the athletic field. Oak Ridge Institute
got the banner, and Carter, of her
team, carried off the cup as the best
athlete.
Slavery Was Better.
Athens, Ga April 30. Bishop
H. M. Turner, of the African Meth
odist Episcopal Church, preached
at thd courthouse here today to
white people.
During his sermon he said he
would prefer to see his people, the
black race, again in slavery, since
slavery afforded them protection,
more so than in their present con
dition. He said he sees little fu
ture in this country for the negro
in competition with the white race.
He declared that he did not believe
it possible to bring about assimila
tion or equality, lacking which
there must continue to be race
prejudices.
I The negro was brought to Amer
ica, he said by Divine will, and
taught by example the basis of a
higher civilization. Now, he de
clared, it is manifestly the will of
God that the negro should go back
to Africa and civilize the s'avage
races there. The race question, he
concluded, would never be settled
until the black man returned to bis
native country.,
4 A Comparison of Losses.
Washington, May 1 A memoran
dum has been prepared at the War

ing the war with Spain was approxi
mately 275,000, covering the period
from May, 1893, to April 1899, inclu
sive. During this time the deaths
from all causes were 6,190, or 2f per
cent. ..
I The mean strength of the first year
of the Civil war was 276,371, with an
aggregate lossby deaths of 19,150, be
ing a percentage of 6.8. ,
