ST. JAMES A. E CHURCH.
Sunday was a glorious day to us all.
God was with his people and blessed
them. Theie were a large number who
remained to the class-meeting. It is
joyous to hear christians say, "I know
that I am God's child." To have such
an experience to live with is to be happv
but better still, as we come down to die
it is glorious to be able to say in the face
of death, "I know that Jesus is my re
deemer." It was with this glad knowl
edge that the Rev. W. C. Treyan ap
proached the grave, and back from the
gathering shadows he called to his weep
ing friends telling them that all is well
with his soul, For over thirty years he
has preached salvation through faith in
Jesus, and in the hour and article -of
death he found that he had built his
house upon the rock. Thus our fathers
go to sleep, trusting in the Savior. How
glorious to think that tbey s'mll rise
again. We may have crosses and tr als
here below, but one moment in glory
will make up for them all. Let us follow
on, "This is the path our fathers trod."
Tliere is now a chain of A. M. E.
churches from St. Paul to Portland, Ore.
This is what grows out of the grand
work done by Rev. S. B, Jones, as angive
hvoible servant of God, at Helena.
There are always a few citizens who will
take ahold to help the race, ambit is
due to the aid of such noble persons that
churches are built up under God.
The statistics quoted in tbe sermon
last Sabbath night were taken from the
Budget, Rev. Debaptist's report, and the
Year books.
To-morruw night there will be a
"Memorial Service" held to the memory
of the late Rev. W. C. Trevan, our
former presiding Elder. The Revs.
Williamson and James have been invited
to be present. The choir which is stead
ily improving, will render a special

At a meeting of the Barbers' Union
Tuesday evening the question of admit
ing Colored barbers was brought up and
discussed, at length the Constitution of
the Union provides that no Colored
man shall be admitted as a member of
the Union, but many receive some
benefits therefrom on certain conditions.
John G. Sterrett was present and cham
pioned the rights of the Colored barbers
in an able manner, and it is not improb
able that the obnoxious clause of the
constitution may be so amended as to
just recognition to the many Col
ored barbers of the city.
A very unique and interesting enter
tainment for the benefit of St. James A.
M. E. church is promised for an early
date. It will oe a prize drill between a
company of ladies and a company of
gentlemen. All the most diffcult drill
tactics in use will be employed, and for
once, the ladies will be given an oppor
tunity to display their superior grace of
movement and skill in fancy marching.
Mr. George H. Woodson will command
the female phalanx, while the men will
doubtless have some one equally as
proficient to train them. Miss Fannie
Sbipman has the affair in charge.
The social event of the season took
place Thursday evening May 15th, 1890
at the residence of Mrs. R. Burke, 503
24th, street S. where the Minneapolis
Knights Sisters of Tabley, assisted by
the Minneapolis Brotherhood of Pros
perity gave a surprise party in honor of
Miss Fannie Burke. It was a complete
surprise all round, as those invited did
not know who they were going to sur
prise and Miss Fannie being invited to
meet with the party, at the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Smith, never
dreamed they were going to surprise
her until within a few steps of her own
home. Dancing was the feature of the
evening and was indulged in till a late
hour when an elaborate repast was
served by the M. K. S. T. after which
that order formed a circle in tbe center
of the spacious parlors and were waited
upsn by the by the M. B. P's. After
supper dancing was again resumed.

WINNING WAITERS.
A Full and Complete Account of
the Great Waiters' Strike
Now on in the Windy City.
W are With you!
The Culinary Alliance opened hostili
ties against the hotels Monday when its
executive head called out the entire
crew of waiters at the Commercial Hotel
and issued a specific order to tbe crew
of the Tremont to throw aside their
aprons and report at the headquarters
on La Salle street. The waiters at the
Tremont, for some reason or other, did
hot pay any attention to. the order, but
fepfoTi uttelfding to their duttes^jusFaf
if nothing unusual had occurred. This,
in view of the fact that a considerable
majority of them are members in good
standing of the alliance, was looked up
on as rank mutiny and it brought out
another order to report at Quinn
Chapel immediately upon quitting work
Monday night. A good many of the
men obeyed this order, and, it is
claimed, premised to join the ranks of
the strikers Tuesday morning, but just
how many could not be learned. One
reason why they refused to obey the
original order of the alliance was that
Manager Rathbone had voluntarily in-
Hi
$*****
creased their pay to $30 per month and
fixed their working day at twelve houis,
as demanded by the alliance. These
concessions they believed were the di
rect result of the union's negotiations,
and they were inclined to look upon the
order to walk out with suspicion. The
fact was that when the union committee
called on Mr. Rathbone he positively
declined to have anything to do with it.
C. W. Dabb, of the Commercial, took a
similar position, but he was less fortun
ate than Mr. Rathbone, for every one of
his waiters went on a strike as soon as
ordered to do so. At the Palmer
House, Manager Townsend following
the example of Warren Leland by dis
charging union men and advancing the
salaries of the rest. In all fifty-nine
men were turned adrift, making it nec
cessary to impress bell-boys and cham
bermaids and porters into tbe dining
room service. The auditorium was
again visited by the committee and one
of the clerks signed the union agree
ment for a period of twenty-hours, so
as to tide over threatened trouble until
Mr. Southgate returns. The proprietors
of the Grand Pacific took an entirely
different view of the situation. They
not only signed the agreement Monday
evening, but made arrangements
with the alliance to furnish
the hotel a force of 150 extra men forsecond,
sapper and banquet duty. This was
done in accordance with the views ex
pressed by John Drake the day the
committee originally waited^upon him.
Tuesday all tbe waiters at the Tre
mant House, except three walked out.
Manager Rathbone pressed every em
ployee into service he could induce to
do the work, but he had hard work of
it. The hotel help are in sympathy
with the strikers and chambermaids,
cooks, and other servants Mr. Rath
bone put into the dining-room did their
work and grumbled not a little. This
morning Mr. Rathbone was so pressed
for men that he went to the bell-boys,
six or eight in number, and asked them
to serve in the place of the strikers.
There was a revolt at once. "We're
with the waiters every time," said the
head bell-boy, "and we don't intend
taking their places." What is more,
the boys went oat on strike themselves.

I Life is real, life is earnest,
A/"\
and one lonely, solitary waiter, hustled
in the dining-room of the Commercial
hotel this morning. The 1 est of the
waiters here were kitchen girls and any
one that could be induced to work.
The Palmer house also has a very small
force, not more than fifteen waiters, and
the management had hard work in
serving the guests Tuesday morning.
The executive committee of the strikers
was pleasantly received by Manager
Southgate of the Auditorium, who after
a short parley, signed the scale of prices.
The Brunswick hotel, corner Adams
