The Third Branch of the Conven- tion Assembled Today. ADDRESSES OF WELCOME AND RESPONSE. Rev. Chas. A. Stakely’s Interesting Historical Talk. en SOME PROMINENT DELEGATES. eee ‘The convention of the colored Baptists of the country, which has been in session at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church for @ number of days past, was continued to- day. It will close tomorrow evening. The convention has been meeting in three sec- tions, and the third and last was begun this morning. It was denominated the Na- tional Baptist educational convention. The meeting was called to order about 10:30 o'clock by the president, Rev. P. F. Morris of Virginia. The devotional exer- elses were conducted by Rev. W. H. Ander- son and Rev. J. M. Dawson, and the gather- ing united in the singing of the hymn “Cor- onatio1 An interesting feature of the morning was the delivery of a number of addresses of welcome and response. Ex-Senator B. K. Bruce had promised to make the speech of welcome on behalf of the citizens of Wash- ington. He was unavoidably absent from the city, but he left'a copy of his eloquent address, which was read to the convention by its corresponding secretary, Rev. Bishop Johnson of this city. The response was de- livered by Rev. W. W. Colley of Virginia, and the president then introduced to the convention Rev. Chas. A. Stakely of the Firet Baptist Church of this city, S.N. Mad- den and President Hartshorn of Memorial College. In answer to an earnest request Mr. Stakely delivered an address on the sub- Ject of the Baptist Church among the col- ored people, considered for the most part from a historical standpoint. After speak- ing of the work done for the colored people by the early Spanish Catholic Church in this country, Mr. Stakely went on to tell of the missionary work done by the Morav- fans, but the credit for having established the first church solely for the benefit of the colored race he reserved for the Baptists. ‘The first church of this sort, so far as the records go, he said, was founded at Beach Island, 8. C., either in 1774 or 1775. In closing his address, he made an earnest plea for an increase of the element of com- mon sense among the ministry, a larger Personal religion and a higher piety in the church. The remainder of the program for the morning was as follows: Enrollment of delegates and appointment of committees. 1. Permanent organization. 2. Finance. 3. Bureau of education. 4. Time and place. 5. Resolutions. 6. Summer schools. Report of corresponding secretary. The demand for a Christian education, J. J. Durham, M. D., Savannah, Ga. Industrial education, Rev. C. H.

An important feature of the morning session was the reading of the report of the corresponding secretary, Rev. Bishop Johnson. In addition to a considerable amount of other valuable information the report showed that there are now in this country fifty-six schools controlled and at- tended by colored Baptists. They are lo- cated in Virginia, North and South Caro- lina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, the District of Columbia, Kentucky and Mississippi. In_ addition to these there are twenty-four schools for the higher education of the colored Baptists supported by the Ameri. can Baptist Home Missionary Society of New York. Rev. Mr. Johnson, the corre- sponding secretary, although a native of Toronto, Canada, is a graduate of Way- land Seminary of this city and is now the Pastor of the Second Baptist Church, one of the largest congregations in the city. After his graduation from Wayland Mr. Johnson was for a dozen years the pro- fessor of mathematics and political science there and is stijl the editor of the Wayland Alumni Journal. He ts president of Grimes Academy of this city and was the organizer of the present educational con- vention. Rev. Dr. Vani Rev. Dr. M. Vann, the president of the national Baptist convention, lives in Nash- ville, and is the general superintendent of missions for the state of Tennessee. He is @ comparatively young man, and Is a grad- uate of Roger Williams Seminary of Nash- ville. He is one of the most eloquent pul- pit orators in the body, and has carried everything before him on the occasion of his different addresses to the convention. He ts a deep scholar, and is considered one of the brainiest men ‘in the church. Rev. P. F. Morris. ‘The president of the educational conven- tion which began today is Rev. P. F. Mor- ris of Virginia. He is a graduate of How- ard University, and 1s now the pastor of the Court Street Baptist Church of Lynch- burg and the president of the educational board of Virginia. He is said to have done more than any other man to organize the colored church in the old dominion, ani he was the founder of the seminary at Lynch- burg. He is a man of great executive abil- fty, and is regarded as the logician of the convention. Rev. A. R. Griggs, the president of the National Baptist foreign mission convention of the United States of America, was born in Hancock, Ga., in the year 1850. His parents were slaves. When eight years of age he was, taken to Texas, where he has ever since resided. In 1878 he became pastor of New Hope Rev. A. R. Griggs. Church at Dallas, Tex. Dallas was then a small country town, but it is now the metropolis of Texas. He grew as the city grew, and his pastorate of eleven years there laid the foundation of his present standing in his denomination. For fourteen years he has been and is stiil moderator of his district association. He founded the first colored Baptist paper published in Texas. From 18% he has been superintendent of missions for the state of Texas. When he took hold of this work Texas was far be- hind most of the state mission work, but now she leads. Through his efforts Texas now nds second on the list of foreign mission contributors. He has superintended the building of at least fifty Baptist Church houses and has collected and disbursed about $50,000 for de- nominational work in Texas. He is self taught with the exception of two years’ training in the theological sem- inary at Richmond, Va. The State Univer- sity of Kentucky conferred on Rev. Griggs ‘the title of D.D., which honor he first de- clined to accept, but which his brethren insist that he wear. For two successive years he has been elected to the presidency of this convention, the most important branch of the denominational work of the more than 1,500,000 colored Baptists of this country, a AMUSEMENTS. Albaugh’s.—An event of much interest occurred at Albaugh’s Grand Opera House last night—the introduction to the Ameri- can stage of a new star. The attention which has been bestowed on “A Lady of Venice,” in which Miss Katharine Clem- mons appeared last night, is a powerful token of the high estimate of her abilities held by those who have taken her destinies in hand. Miss Clemmons is the niece of W. F. Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, and it ts understood that he has given her every opportunity to achieve in the short- est possible time the high position in dra- matic art which he believes she is destined to fill. Miss Clemmons, although a debu- is not @ novice in staze-work. Her Performance shows that she has had care- ful culture and that she has devoted herself assiduously to the improvement of excep- tional advantages. The play is of the strongly romantic type. ‘The Venetian sur- Toundings allow a scenic display that is rich to the degree of lavishness. ‘The spirit of the play 1s intensely tragic; neither the star nor the leading members of the sup- porting cast can complain of any absence of opportunity for emotional display. The Uberality shown in the mounting of the Piece is manifested in the company. Among the good people in the cast are Clarence Handyside, Francis Carlyle, Miss Helen Russell and Miss Effie Germon. The fact that so expert an amusement caterer as Buffalo Bill has manifested so much con- fidence in her is of itself a pretty good as- surance that Miss Clemmons has a success- ful career before her. There were many distinguished people in the audience last night, among them being Vice President Stevenson, Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle, Mrs. Gen.’ Crook, Secretary and Mrs. Hoke Smith, Postmaster General and Mrs. Bis- sell, and Senator Blackburn. The Academy of Music. ‘hose who pre- dicted that Lottie Collins’ star would fade with the waning of that piece of exquisite inanity, “Ta ra ra boom de ay,” are clearly ut in the wrong. There is more honest merit in the vivacious Lottie’s present per- formance than there was in a whole sea- son of “Tarara’s.” The beholder of her performance at the Academy of Music last night became genially conscious of the fact that her stock-in-trade did not consist of a single specimen of hoydenish kick. She can do what few dancers can do—she can sing. And she can also do what few singers: can—danc Combined with these, is the further consideration that Lottie is not altogether without ability as a comedienne. The audience last night expressed enthusi- astic appreciation, and invited a repetition of the song which has become a sort of trade mark with Miss Collins. The song “Marguerite” and the “rainbow dance” were both good. The remainder of the pro- gram 1s of the highest character, every performer deserving individua} attention. r. Albert Christian is remarkably clever not only as a ballad singey but as a refined comedian. Arvillo in hi musical imita- tions and Terry with his shadow-graphs are excellent—and so are all the rest’ The Ne’ National.—“A Trip to China- town” has got as near being a standard favorite as it ts possible for a farce-comedy to become. It is one of Hoyt’s best produc- tions, and it was welcomed warmly at the New National last night. Changes have been made in the cast and in the specialty features. With Harry Cover, George Beane, jr., Geraldine McCann interpreting the comedy, Julius Whitmark in songs, Bessie Clayton in dances and Harry Gil- foll in his imitations, there ts no question as to the “Trip to Chinatown” being “Just as gi as new” this season little better. ne Harris’ Bijou Theater—The usual large audience was in attendance last evening at Harris’ Bijou Theater to witness the Presentation of the realistic play “The Fire Patrol.” As the name indicates, it was full of fire and excitement, and the audience frequently broke forth’ into prolonged ap- plause. The interior of a gold stamp mill with the ponderous ore crushers in full operation was an excellent bit of the stage mechanism. The company Is a good one and fully up to the requirements of their different parts. In the dual character of “Jack Dallas” and “Hon. Mason Morgan" Mr. W. W. Bittner, appeared to good ad- ee. L ‘ernan’s Lyceum Theater.—There was a large audience present at Kernan's Lyceum ‘Theater last evening to witness the athletic and variety entertainment furnished by Williams’ “Me and Jack” burlesquers and William Muldoon’s Athletic School. ‘The “Me and Jack” part of the show 1s about the game as last year and is very good. Mr. Muldoon and Ernest Roeber gave an exhi- bition of Graeco-Roman wrestling. Then Muldoon’s unknown pupil wrestled with a son of Italy and threw him in six minutes There were several bouts with the gloves, which were full of interest, excitement and = Sen cpacted that Roeber will wrestle @ pupil ef Cyclops, German wrestier, tomighe. > ‘"e famous —_——__ PLAY TIME 18s OVER. The Opening of the Public Schools of the City Today. The public schools of the city opened to- day for the new school year. This is a fact that was of direct personal interest to some 42,000 children and was in ad- dition called to the attention of many thousand parents and guardians. The con- stituency of the public schools assumes impressive proportions even from the stand- Point of mere numbers. It is possible that one or two thousand children in addition to the number given above thronged the school buildings today. The figures show- ing the total school attendance are those of last year. It will not be possible to know the number that will attend the schools this year for some time yet, as all the re. turns will not be in. It is fair to presume that more children will be taught at the public expense this year than last, for the Treason that for a number of years past there has been an annual increase in the number of school children which averages between twelve and fourteen hundred. ‘There is no reason to suppose that the usual increase will not take place this year, It is quite an army when considered as a whole, but under the system which pre- vails it is easily handled and there {s a place for every one and every one is in the place. Of course there are times when there are not quite as many school houses us there should be, and perhaps the corps of teachers needs to be enlarged, but as a rule the supply is equal to the demand. ‘The im- portance of the public school system {s recognized by Congress, and the appropria- tions are as generous as could be expected. The schools open under favorable condi- tions this year. The attendance is large and the corps of teachers are in their places. A good proportion during the va- cation visited the world’s fair, and no doubt some time during the school year they will give their impressions of this great educa- tional exhibit. Some of the pupils have also been to Chicago, and so it is likely that the fair and its influence will reach pretty well all the public school children. The reunion between teachers and schol- ars and between pupils today was pleasant, and the opening of the school was marked by a degree of enthusiasm and interest which promises well for the work of the year. WEDDINGS FOR AUTUMN. Miss Olagett and Mr. Perrin to Be Mar- ried in November. Return of Washingtonians From Their Jaunte—Personal Notes of Interest. ‘The engagement of Miss May Clagett to Mr. Clifford Perrin of Cincinnati, which was formally announced on Saturday last in that city, is affirmed by the friends of the young lady here.

There is a proposition to hold a_yachting regatta on the Potomac this month. The event will be under the auspices of the Capital Yacht Club, but unattached craft will be permitted to take part. Yachting enthusiasm in local circles is on the up- grade. Talk of the cup races and the fresh winds that are now visiting this latitude are the cause. A fleet of mosquito safl- craft career over the river each Sunday. Many set their wings each evening. The first-class boats, Ella Treadwell, Mary Carr and Mildred,also take frequent airings, It. is understood ‘that a large number of Alexandria skippers want to give battle to the Washington boats. It is said in high yachting circles that a special meeting of the Capital Club will be called this week to take action. Prizes will be offered Parser A. H. Betz of the Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall Steamboat Company has resigned. Mr. Betz was well known to the excursion public and his retirement is re- gretted.

Several of ‘hem Who Aspire to a Seat in the Senate. FITZHUGH LEES POPULARITY. Ex-Representative Goode Recog- nized as a Candidate. GEN. HUNTON’S ATTITUDE. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 19.—The United States senatorial contest in Virginia is “ap- idly overshadowing that for governor. The very recent announcement that John Goode has entered the list of candidates for chis Including Mr. Goode, there are now five as- pirants for the United States Senatorship. popular and has more undeveloped strength in the tidewater and southwestern coun- ties than anywhere in the state, but even in these sections the Lee and Martin men secure any considerable number of votes un the first ballot. All the indications seem to warrant the belief that Fitz Lee is easily leading in the race, but Mr. Martin is conducting such a quiet and methodical campaign that these appearances may be misiealing. He spends nearly all of his time in Itichmond and it is understood that, assisted by some of the shrewdest old campaigners in Virginia, he is directing his whole campaign from here. At one time, not many months ago, there was a disposition on the part of some of Lee's friends to charge that Martin was a candidate of the railroad corporations. Now, however, but little is heard of such allegations. The potency of the railroads is too well recognized in Virginia politics for any candidate to kick against them. It will not be surprising if all of tho sena- torial aspirants manifest their willingness to accept the assistance of this element of political influence. Where Lee Has an Advantage. Besides being one of the most popular, if not the most popular, public man in Vir- ginia, Fitz Lee has the edvantage over his competitors of being one of the best all- hope to offset it by excellent, but quiet, campaign work. Of the 136 democratic members of the last legislature Martin re- ceived the indorsement of ninety for the ap- ointment as senator tn plate of the late John 8. Barbour. the governor called an extra session of the legislature to fill that vacancy beyond doubt Martin would have been elected. The governor, however, did not see fit to do so, but named Gen. Hunton to fill the place until his suc- cessor could be chosen by the legislature which is to be elected on November the 7th. A fair proportion of those who served in the two houses last session, will be re- elected this year. How many it is impossi- ble to predict. Mr. Martin’s friends natur- ally hope that those who indorsed him last year, and who may be returned, will be in- clined to continue to give him their support for the senatorship. There is, though, no .|@irect obligation upon the part of these men to do so. Their indorsement of Mr. Martin was for appointment by the governor, and since that official selected another their ob- ligations could hardly be expected to go further. Still Martin will certainly get some of the old members, who committed themselves to him last year, and several of the holdover senators have already express- ed a determination to vote for the Albe- marle man. Looking at the situation as it now stands Lee seems well in the lead. There are, however, so many complications that both Lee and Martin may be defeated and a new man carry off the prize. Just here M: Goode may get in his work and possibly be the winner. McKinney as a Dark Horse. Gov. McKinney, too, may prove @ popular dark horse. His administration as the ex- ecutive of the state has been universally commended and was irfdorsed by the state convention. The governor is calmly looking on, evineing little or no concern about the result of the outcome of the senatorial con- test. He has erected his lightning rod and serenely awaits the coming storm. If the thunderbolt strikes him McKinney is prepar- ed to accept his fate and enter the senatorial arena. Hf it fails then when his term as governor expires, January 1, 184, he will return to his home in Prince Edward county and resume the practice of law. Gen. Hunton’s Candidacy. Gen. Hunton is one of the shrewdest men in the race for the senatorship. Despite his serene and placid smile he is a deep and long-headed politician. The general comes from Fauquier, a county which has carried off mere political prizes since the war than any other in the state. No Fau- quier man has been defeated for office in the last quarter of a century, and the gen eral could certainly not wish to break this record. It must be understood that the legislature elected this yéar ts to fill a broken and a full senatorship term. The term for which the late Senator Barbour was elected expires March 4, 18%. As no legislature will assemble just ‘prior to that time, this one will have to ‘fill that partial t and the one beginning then, and ternfinating six years Mater. It is under- stood that Gen. Hunton will be content if he ts elected to fill out the balance of Mr. Barbour’s term in the Senate. There is an impression that Lee, Marti’ and McKin- ney have conceded him this and that none of them as an aspirant for the short term. If this be true, and Gov. McKinney admits it is so far as he himself is concerned, Hun- ton’s ambition, it is quite certain, will be gratified. These concessions are ‘not un- derstood to have been made as a mere mat- ter of sentiment, but as good and practi- cal politics. With such an understanding these three candidates know exactly where they stand and can make their fizht without any such complications as the contest over the two vacancies would produce. If agreement has been effected Mr. Goor however, is not admitted to be a party it. It ts’ possible that he may oppose Hun ton for the short term, and if he does the contest may be interesting, though in such an event it ts believed that H: So in this aspect of the situ ton seems to be more cer Coss than any of the other candidates in the race.
