CHARLES STEWART DELIVERS I ECTURE Charles Stewart of Chicago deliv ered a most telling, forceful and in structive lecture last Saturday night in the lecture room of St. John’s church on Uncle Ned and His Son. Prof. Stewart ;s a brilliant speaker, with a large fund of well-digested knowledge, and a keen sense of humor. He told how Uncle Ned played his part and played it well under the old regime and was loved by those who knew him. For thirty years from 1865 to 1895 the south mourned his demise. When Hooker T. Washing ton made his famous speech at At lanta, the south said Uncle Ned has risen again; but they found that it was Uncle Ned’s son. He then showed how Uncle Ned’s son, the forceful, in dustrious, ambitious Negro is every where forging to the front and helping to make the history of America. He told of the impetus the war has given to Uncle Ned’s son. He showed how conditions arc improving despite ap parent evidence to the contrary in many quarters. He wittily but force fully called attention to many racial weaknesses which it is our duty to overcome. The speaker was introduced by the Rev. Dr. Logan, pastor of Grove M. E. church.

Headed by the band and accompanied by Red Cross workers and citizens the hoys were accompanied to the train and sent on their way with cheers and good wishes. EDITOR (MIL E S OF TOPEKA PLAINDEALER HERE Nick Chiles, the manly editor of the Topeka Piaindealer, was here in at tendance upon the Methodist confer ence.
