There trudged an aged gentleman.
A basket on his arm.
Was filled with goodly -viands which
An epicure might charm.
His cloth bhowed that his station was
Amongst the wealthy class.
And as he walked, a younger maa
Essayed by hiss to peas.
But as he did so, glanced askance,
Into the kindly face
And offered him hia services
With such engaging grace,
That it was just impossible,
His kindness to resist,
So, that with condescension, he
Allowed him to assist.
They joined in conversation then,
As leisurely they walked ;
The young man told from whence Ihe
came,
And how his plana were balked.
He'd travei'd far and wide, he aaid,
Hia fortunes te retrieve ;
Some folks had kindly treated him,
Borne feared he might deceive.
He asked for work and wages and
Per lodging and for board,
But did not fix the totals which
He'd hsve his friend afford.
The master's only daughter kept
The lordly mansion fine.
Where hosts of wealthy people came
At stated times to dine.
The youngman (fer convenience, we
Will oall him Henry Scott )
Was soon the master's right hand man,
Waa always on the spot.
Adella's lovely faee he ssw?
The master's only child,
But while he loved, he broke no law
And thus was sot exiltd.
__ Time flew, Adell wss wooed, but none
Gould win her heart snd hand,
Her suitors ranked among ?uch men
Aa Fortune could command
The father loved hia daughter more
Than Mammon's lust or rank,
And hence he would not force her t
Do that frons whioh she shrank.
There chanced a time long afterward.
About the same lone spot.
Where first the .aged gentleman
Had mot with Henry Scott?
A gentleman on horse-back who
Seemed all the earth to scorn ;
Whose every look snd action showed
He was to riches born.
He met Adella's father who
Was plain unto a fault,
And told him straight, with small ado,
Be wanted much to halt,
And apend the night at thst fine homt
The mansion pointing out?
Where lived, he said, he oft had beard
A man mueh talked about.
"No doubt," he said, "the land-lord
would
"Be glad of raeh a guest,
"For I have worlds of money and
"My pleasure is my quest.
"So, come! my man," he said at last,
"Why stand you waiting there?
"Go ! tell them I am coming, that
"They may for me prepare.'*
Now all this time the land-lord stood
Hsd uttered not a word,
But now he spoke, and gently, too :
?* Twaa I of whom you heard.
''That mansion is my humble home,
?'And aa its rightful lord,
?'I say you'll never enter there ;
?'Of thst be well assured."
With fallen face the stranger left.
And rode at frightful pace,
Adell and Henry tr tm the house
Had seen all that took place.
Aud that same night mid grsnd dis?
play,
'Neath wealth and beauty's sun,
This noble twain of loving heart |
Were rendered into one.

As Co the author of the little
nissive. it would appear to the in?
telligent mind, that all the policy-bold
rs joined in putting forth tba circu
ars, which tbmg i**not true; for 1 am
ti the position to know that the policy
loldors of the ssid Association know
ittle or nothing of ita internal work.
In all of my life my eyes hsve nevet
allen upon a piece of wrrting so void
tt truth. But to the point; when this
nsti'ution was organir.**>d in 1898 and
L waa made its ^resident at my ab
lenee, havirg been persuaded all along
co he one of its founders; but always
?led my unwillingness to be en?
gaged ia secular affairs. 1 was utterly
turprised when 1 heard that I wah
made its president. After some per?
suasion to accept and a prayerful con?
sideration, I went before the board
?xplained my policy and accepted the
ffiae. Not for the money or office, noi
ihe prc fit the institution might brinj^
0 me, but a desire to help the nine
men composing tbe institution, and to
benefit my people in general. The first
year of its existenoe, there was a great
rush into the Association for member?
ship and some falling sway. The lat?
ter rather benefit the company, espec?
ially when the company is numerically
strong.
WHBRB THB TROUBLE BBOAN.
In the bulk of applications that came
before us. from time to time, some
wera adjudged too old and Borne too
sickly. 1 found that this cot Aided
with my work as a gospel minister and
pastor of a church. For, whenever I
visited the aged and afflicted to con?
sole them, they had their cases of re?
jection by the Association to settle
with me, before I could do my duty, ai
a minister of God. Being pledged , ai
allot the membert were, not to divulge
the affairs of the Asaociation, and thie
would not be businesslike anyway. 1
could make little or do satisfactory ex
planation.
OTH SR DIFFICfLTISS ARISING.
Some complaints were made, thal
they did not get their money in time.
*^ome claimed that they were entitled
to 3 weeks' dues Jand were only paid 2
Others contend about birth and death
claims- The blame of all these easel
were put upon me as President, foi
the reason, that 1 was not only presi
dent, but that I was pastor of tin
church. Many had gone in the Asso
ciation on the eotfidtnce they bad it
me. to see that things were carried or
right. Finding myself hampered, am
my work greatly hindered. I resolvec
more than two years ago to be presi
dent no longer; and to sell out my in
terest and return to my work, belier
ing that Uod hnd called me to peace
In 1897 some time before the end o
the year I offered my resignation t<
the Board. I was asked with muct
persuasion to change my mind entire?
ly, or let the matter remain si:
months. 1 declined waiting six month
and stated, that the year would ent
before the expiration of six months
but said, I would give them sufticien
time to consider the matter, as
thought I was dealing with gentlemen
But I have found out since from cer
tain things that have happened, tha
there was among them a sort of oon
spiracy. For I was asked not to sa;
anything about my resignation, a** th
? Beet wouid work detriment to the in
stitution. I accepted this, and heh
ray peace. But there waa one or mor
of these men, who made it their busi
nesa to go frons house to house, tellin;
of this same matter in a perversiv
way. That is: that they were going t
turn or kick me out of the presidenc
at the end of the year. In the mean
time other ru mord got afloat, that ai
the money was gone, acd I had stole
it; and that one of the members sci
myself were at words and had come t
blows. I waa approached by man
with regard to these rum irs. I dania
ths truth of them, until at length,
asked thst person, whom they charge
with putting out the same about th
matter. He said, "There is no trut
in the rumors, the members of th
Workingman's Aid Association put ou
such rumors iso ss to pull ours dowe
and build up their ^Association "
went to the Board meeting and es
plained thia matter and made inquir*
In answer to the inquiry those prei
ent said, they had heard the ru moi
too, but knew of nothing that I ha
said that might give offen* e t o sny om
I accepted thia and thought that wi
the end *f the matter, but I observe
thereafter, that I was treated with coi
tempt in the.Board meetings from tim
and also in my ether official capacif
1 then determined to insist upon tl
acceptance of my resignation.
Coming to the Board meeting c
the 11th of January 1898 at 8 P. M.,
said to them, that while I had offere
my resignation, ani that they had sst
ed me to let the matter rest six monti
and I had declined doing that, but
would give thoma sufficient time 1
consider the matter But there aroi
other difficulties, which caused mei
insist upon the acceptance of my resij
nation at that time. And if the yet
was not out I would not serve ac
longer; and if it ended that night I di
dined re-nomination or running fe
the presidency again. There wi
much persuasion brought to bear I
get me to change my mind ; but 1 pos
tively declined under the then exis
ing circumstances.
First, that the company was failin
and this I had explained to them in fu
and that its collapse waa inevitabl
except a change in the affairs. 2n<
what was more grievous than all, thi
1 was being traat*ed with con temi
from time to time by one of the naen
bera of the board ; this, the bo: d hs
some knowledge ef. At this point
will give the condition of the Aseoeii
tion as it was on the llth of Januar;
1898, the laat meeting I attended.
The expenses of the Association wei
greater than its income. For instanc
in the lirat two years ol the exiatsn<
of the Asaociation, there were accumi
latsu something like $3,000. but on tl
21st of Dec. 1897, there were in har
according to ? he report and reading i
the Secretary $1100 and some odd do
lars; and on that aame night there wi
taken from that amount $570 or $58'
The readers can see what was left i
the credit of the Association. The ci
cu lars above referred to, in this artic
say, "The Association bas money:
three different banks." if they ht
then or have now money in three di
terent banks they have put what litt
was left of the $1100 after the $570 <
$.">.**() had been paid out.
I saw, that to give $3 a week for ]
cents premium ard $80 00 at death ar
$9 ()0 for birth claims was more tha
tbe company could stand under the e:
isting circumstances. All of us agree
to this. It seems that all of the ladii
or a certain class of them wbo aro pi
trona of the People's Relief Associl
tion are very prolific. For, on mo
everv Tuesday night we had <
pay from one to four birth claims <
$9 U) each ; and after the .agents hs
been paid their percentage their woul
? in eaah money oo the table $80. or
- leas. Hut of late

sith my paatora' Mock, and on th* llb
md 21st of January 1898. 1 calbd the r
it ten tion to th ia aper ti cul ar trouble be
tween one of ita me r.iber* and myself.
Hie meeting of January 21st was styled
sn Arti ration Meeting. Ali of the
members were present save two Ai
this meeting the matter was partly in
?eatigated At the same meeting th*
one that had had this quarrel with me.
said the matter co?*cerred tho Asso?
ciation as well aa himself; aid ask*-d
that the meeting adj urn, so that hs
might ask his informers wheth r he
could use th?*ir names or not. 1 hav*
not seen or heard from them since, ex?
cept they seem to say something to th
public through those fatherless and
motherless circulars above referred to.
which wera void of any truth.
It ean be seen in the circulars.
"'Therefore it can be seen that he did
not resign " O, conspirators! I would
state here that it was design uoon the
part of some of the members at least to
conspire against me, but fortunately
for me, and unfortunately for them
selves their tongues were divided. 1
proved equal to tbe task, though I did
not know their wicked design Th
methods to do me serious injuries,first
they asked me to say nothing about
my resignation and that none should
say anything about it. Rut some ol
them made it their business from thai
very night, to go to th> ir henchmen
and tell it. But they perverted the
statement to the extent, that they
were going to turn or kiok me out ai
the end of the year, but 1 insisted al
along upon resigning even to the night
of the annual meeting on which nigh
I positively declined serving as Pre?i
dent or being run for President again
On that night seven or eight declar?
ed their intention of voting for me, if 1
would but accept being put in nomina?
tion. They have testified since to the
same in the presence of others
Now, as to the Junius White's cas*?.
I have said and I reiterate, 1 knew
nothing of the Junius White's case, un
til I n ceivt'd a letter from his lawyer,
notifying us tbat we owed Mr. Juniut
White oertan weeks', dues and if w*
uid not pay said dues he would sue us
I took this matter at once to the Boaro"
and tried time and again to get at the
merits of the case, but could not These
who thought they knew something
about the case and could testify foi
the company, told what they knew, and
1 said to them, they would make go< d
witnesses to testify in tbe favor of Mr
White. And all leonid get furthei
than they had stated, that there wen
other witnesses for our company
among them two white doctors.
I warned them of the danger and o'
the possibility of losing that case, and
said, "I would rather pay Lim $160 foi
dues, whether it was just or not, that
to go to court at all, or to lose a caa*
of a lesser sum."
I know a ?. resident is an ex-officio
member of a committee ; but as to my
being appointed on the como ittee i?
not true as stated in the circular. Poa
itively I never saw Mr. White or thi
witnesses other than the three officers
of the company that expected to testi?
fy until 1 saw them on the witness
stand, on the day of the trial. 'Ihe
circular also says, "It is said that Wal?
do not pay our officers." Now about
the pay, I will accommodate them, by
calling that thing they did, by the new
nam* they have given it, "pay or sal?
ary."
First, I would aay that some of that
party have circulated th** rumor, or by
not deny ing it when they heard it to!',
that I got $50 per month as a salary, lt
is now time for me to give the true
facts in the case. The first year, 1
don't think I got anything, but at the
end of the second year they gave me a
fold pen, ai they say, as a present
he third year ?OBS $5 or $10; a
the end of tne fourth year $15 or $20 ;
in lb97, $25 Now, $25peryear divid?
ed into 12 parts would amount *to
$2 OS1 j per mon-h. Tbis is what they
call a salary. If they claim that thej
paid me $50 per month, which is $600
per year and only paid me $25 for lfcl?7.
th**y are Itt debt to me for $575 for
1&97 te say nothing of the other years
except the little bits mentioned above.
I would like just here to make kn-iwn
to the public and even to the true
members of my own church, what, ie
being done. First, On the 4th of Feb?
ruary, 1898, 1 received two little mis?
sives from the Board of the People's
Relief Association and Nickle Savins
Bank, defying me to speak in my own
defence in ray own pulpit to my own
congregation Knowing that I would
hardly pay any attention to euc'
trash, trey went further. Even as to
bring in two white men styled short
hand writers, to write down my speech
that 1 might, make. When I saw thia
I remembert-d tbe dark day sof slavery
when white men were put over us to
> iu what we say to our God in our
worship. I thought this was enough
ta cause some of ihe sleeping sain ta,
whe prayed to be delivered from slav?
ery and for this day of freedom to turi*
over in their graves, when they saw
these white men watching us in tbe
4th Baptist Ohurch, on Sunday, the 6rh
of February, 1898
Now. wbat do the authors of that
lying circular think to do? The an?
swer is this. First, they will go from
door to door circulating all manner nf
false rumors about me. Second, to
have some of their members to be in
all of our meetings and to report back
ta them what is said and done so as
break the peace and harmony of my
church, and to save their dying insti?
tution from death. They have caused
in aome instances the return of some
of the scenes of the days of slavery
That is the masters will meet every
Tuesday night to make laws: the over
seers will remain in the offlee day by
day: the Negro driver must beat the
doors of the sick early in the morn inl?
and late in the afternoon and between
those times if need be. The agents are
required to scatter from one end ol
the city to tbe other false literature,
to the great humiliation of some of
the ladies and gentlemen, wbo are
sgents for the People's Relief Associa?
tion and 1 trust to all.
Wbat do these agents get ? From
$5 down to 60f per week.
In conclusion I wish to say this, it
can be plainly seen that the object of
these men were designed to get me
away from my church work and build
un a strong institution for them to live
off, to use me all they could or as
much as I would be used and when
they saw-that I could not be and would
not be used by them, they sought and
are seeking to blacken my reputation.

On last Sunday, the weather was
very inclement and the gatherings at
the churches were very slim.
At Mt. Carmel at 9:30 A. M , the Sun?
day School was well attended notwith?
standing the rain, and the lesson was
very interesting.
At 11:30 o'clock, preaching by the
pastor, Rev White. His text was in
Psalma 51*8 Throughout his dis?
course the Elder was very enthusiastic
and his hearers were well pleased with
what they heard.
At 3:3* o'clock, there was also
preaching by the pastor, rle .again de?
livered an able sermon from Deuter?
onomy 31 -.18 While tbe rain bad kept
many from this service, there was
quite a crowd, and the Rev. fed them
with wholesome food from on high
At 8:30 o'clock. Rev. White again
E reached an excellent sermon from
use 6:21. At this service the crowd
was very slim. A few of the faithful
turned out to give praise unto God.
?ur sick is much better and we hope
ta see them all out again soon.
Young men should always be cir?

Wllkesbarre. Pa.. March 2.?The de- ai
ase In the caae .against Sheriff Mar- tl
1 and his deputies, on trial for the ol
ooting* of strikers at Lattimer laat bi
ptember, ls producing strong evi?
nce to show that the rioters had !
en riotous and threatening for som*
Tie previous to the fatal encounter. '
any witnesses testified that they had
?n forced by threats to join the
rikers* ranks, while others who re- ?
sed were brutally beaten. A score or
ore witnesses have testified that R
me of the strikers were armed with
?volvera, and several swore that the '
?st shqtgjat Lattimer were fired from j
ie strikers' ranks.
On Wednesday of last week Jacob '
imams, timekeeper of the Cranberry *
-eaker. told of the attack by the strlk- '
a on that breaker on Sept. S, when J
tey also stopped a coal train and
oned the crew. On Friday Sheriff .Sel
>r, of Carbon county, told hew he had
Llled on Sheriff Martla and his depu
es fer aid In defending Coxa's break- !
r at Beaver Meadow. Martin In
tructed hts deputies to do no firing
?ccept In defense of their own Itv**.
Th* witnesses on Saturday and lion
ay were mainly women, who told of .
he terror the strikers had created.
Irs. Katharine Craig and her children
?alked fr*m Lattimer to Milnes ville
t 2 o'clock In the morning, fearing the (
trlkers would blow up the town,
stephen Guttenmiller testified that a
ian st*od behind th* deputies urging |
he strikers on.
Ther* were several important wit?
nesses on Tuesday last, who told of
he reign of terror the strikers had
reated. The most lmpertant witness (
f the day, however, waa Sheriff Mar?
in himself. The sheriff told *f the
totous days previous to th* conflict
Lt Lattimer, admitted that his depu?
tes had been selected by mine officials,
ixplalned how he had repeatedly warn
:d the strikers against riotous march
ng, and then came down to the day
>f the Lattimer shooting. H? said:
"Friday morning. Sept. 10, I reached
Drtfton and found all my deputies
Lhere. At 1 o'clock In the afternoon
[ got a message that the strikers were
marching- through Cranberry, bound
for Lattimer. I hurried off with th*
HazUton deputies to lnte?-cept the men
<it West Hazleton. While going there
[ repeated my Instructions to the depu?
ties about keeping cool and avoiding
trouble If possible.
"The mob swore at us when we ap?
proached, cursed me, and would not
budge when I told them to do so. I
read my proclamation and walked
through them, asking them to go home.
One young man swore at me violently,
and said they would go to Lattimer in
spite cf me. I arrested him. One man
picked up a stone, but dropped it when
I pointed a revolver at him.
"I told a crowd of spectators to go
home, as the strikers were desperate,
and there might be trouble. Finally the
strikers left the road and started off
over Borne lota Soon I heard they were
going to Lattimer, and I hurried off
?with my deputies to Intercept them.
I teld them again to keep cool and not
to sheet unless their lives or mine
were In danger. After lining them up
alongside the road I told thom I would
go out and meet the strikers and try
once more to disperse them. A deputy
asked if he should not go with me.
'No,' I said, 'I'll go alone.' I thought
one man was enough to die at once.
I felt somehow ther* was going te be
trouble. I met the strikers about 60
yards from the deputies and asked
them where they were going. "To stop
the Lattimer breaker,' a lot of them
cried.
"I told them they must not go. and
tried to read my proclamation to them,
but they crowded around me, swear?
ing at ms and hustling me to one side.
One man tried to grab me, and I then
attempted to get hold of him, but th*
crowd then Jumped on me and pounded
me about the body. I dropped my pa?
per and pulled my revolver. One of the
men tried to snatch the revolver from
me, but failed. Then he struck me an
awful blow In the face and knocked
me to my knees. I tried to shoot him,
but my revolver would not explode.
Then the shooting commenced. It
lasted about a half minute.
"In the crowd I .saw three men
armed with revolvers and one with
a knife. Tbe latter made a stab at
me, but missed. Two men were shot
Just behind me to the left. I waa in
the direct line of fire."

In answer to Dr. Brooks' question
econd. We would state th-it the gen-j >'
lerner, who made the declaration of jo
heir intention net to opp >se the work
if the so-called National Baptist Con?
tention sre as reliable ss Dr Brooks,
ind in the light of his last utterance,
ar more so, hence, we csn only ste te
hat we meant what we said.

the Doctor is, he is confounding the

A B0O0S BOABD AT LOUISVILLE
Io answer to question fifth, I will
say that the State of Virginia has nev?
er hoarded ard loaned money given for
Foreign Mission purpose* because it
cost something to send it to Africa.
However, when there was a diapute as'
to which Board should be honored. ih?
Board a*. Richmond, Va., which held
and now holds the only Charter of the
Convention, or the .bogus Board at
Louisville. Ry , which was born in
passion, and trickery, and lawlessness.
the chain' 1 between our treasury and
the treasury of the ro called National
Baptist Convention was stopped until
the dispute could be settled. But
whatever money we have received for
Foreign Mission is now held by us
subject to demand The people wi-h
us to plaoe their money to the best ii -
terest.
SOl'NDBD TBB HCOLIC.
I will inform Dr. Walter V. Brock*
and the other 'Church wolves" ab?
ated with him that We are destined to
Micoeed. Nothing else but District
Conventions will quiet the unrest
among the people of this country
Not th Carolina haa sounded the bugle
and thirteen States tkesidai Dr Brooks
own olly have fallen in line.
The people will no longer he bull?
dozed You can not fool all the
pie all the time. Think of it. The
Boards of the National Convention
handled,received and spent the
pie's money all last year, and yet whet*
their quagi reports sre tub-ni tied to
the Convention, no one ia sllowed to
question their correctness, nor ia sny
committee appointed to audit them;
hut rushed through againat the pro
teat of the "honest minority" of the
Convention, who desired to extmine
their correctness. Who knows what
the money haa been spent for ? Hon?
esty invites investigation; while dis?
honesty flees from the light.
BBOKB FAITH WITH THB MISSION A BlKS.
Again: The Management of the so
called National Convention has herald?
ed it over this eountry that the Chapel
al Cape Town in Africa is in curse of
erection, when the truth is, accord?
ing togood authority, the ground for
the building has not been broken, nor
has one dime been sent for its*. *
tion. This is the kind of stuff that Dr.
W'alser H. Brooks defends. Doctor,
you can fool some of the people all the
tims, and all the people some times,
but you can not fool all the people all
the time
Now in reference to Dr. Walter H.
Brooks blind prophecy concerning our
District Convention. 1 will say tbat we
have this one advantage over the so
called National Baptist Convention.
The so-called National Baptist Conven?
tion Las failed already, being worn out
and deciipped, unable to pay its mis?
sionaries, ita very name is a synopsis
of disgrace to thoae who know ita
cou rae of procedure ; but the District.
Convention, young and hopeful, haa
yet to fail. Some of the best element
in the country are with us, even tho
Christian ministers of Washington, D.
C. You are simply crying, my broth?
er, out in the cod,
CHABOBS DISHONESTY.
Again, does Dr. Walter H. Brooks
know that the Baptist 1. adera of Vir?
ginia have alwaya been honest with the
people's money ? Thetis one reason
why Virginia, as the Doctor knows, has
the name of giving the most of the
money by which tha so-called National
Baptist Convention has conducted the
Foreign Mission work; while many ol
whe leaders of other states, associated
with Doctor Walter H. Brooks, have
misappropriated the people's money
given them for African Mission*-; aid
