There was a high old time at the Second Baptist church on Third street, between H and I streets, last evening when the members of the church tried to hold a meeting, but found themselves shut out of the edifice by a minor- ity of the trustees. For some time past there has been a misunderstanding between the pastor W. B. Johnson ané the trastees. Johnson some time ».° tendered his, resignation, but i action was not approved of by a majority of the flock. and the board of trustees was divided cn the question. A meeting of the church was held two weeks trom last night, but proved of such a stormy nature that the police were called in to preserve order, and it adjourned in great confusiou with- out taking action. Another attempt to hold a meet- ing was made last night, when the members assembled at the hour announced from the pulpit ou Sunday they found the doors closed, John Rawls and Hamilton ‘toment? 1 very mach «slave of former times yamore yaluable citi vetler type of his class than his m bis descendant.’ Colored Franey, of that section of the trus. tees favored the resignation, bad refused to allow the building to be opened for that purpose. About 200 members of the church collect- edon the sidewalk, and roundly denounced the action of the obdu- rate trustees, who, however, stood firm in refusing to allow a meeting to be held in the church. The whole difficulty is said to be due to the fact that the pastor col- lected $4,000 for the church and in- vested it in government bonds in- stead of lending it to the trustees of the church. He thought the government was safe, and the chureh guardians were liable to adversity.—Daily Press. SOUTH WASHINGTON NOTES. There are announcements all through this section of the city of the meeting held by the citizens of Washington, condemnatory of the present managent of our colored public schools. The meeting at the Metropolitan M. E. Church, M St.. n. w., on Tuesday evening, and at the Metro- politan A, M. E. Zion Church, D St., s. w., Wednesday, were both of much interest, as will be seen elsewhere. The arrival of Rev. W. H. Brooks, D. D., who for six weeks has been absent in Europe, is hailed with great delight, both by the general public and ministerial circle of Washington and Alexandria. The ministers’ conference on Monday morning last was engaged in a lengthy discussion upon the charges of intemperance as the leading crime in the world, being the basis of all disorder and confus- ion. The paper from which the discussion arose were textual ex- positions of Rev. Dr.R. H. Porter of Va. Rev. Dr. R. Johnson: “The evils of the churches are more gen- eral than one which is the greatest, but as the paper specified only whiskey, I will say remove it grad- ually and it will be removed finally. W. H. Philips: “I am much like the man who was toolazy to say bis preyers, so he said,- ‘Lord, these are my sentiments.’ ” i. C. Robinson: ‘The time will soon come when the man who is put out of the church for the use of whiskey, he will be required to abandon it before he be allowed to return. W.J. Howard: “I am opposed to whiscey in all of its forms. R. S. Laws: “I shall ever oppose any man coming a member of this conference who is known to drink whiskey. W. 4H. Scott: “ldo not thirk that men ought to use whiskey ex- cept doctors advise it, asa medi- cine.” Father Alexander: pose to it then.” Rev. Daniel Morris, acting presi- dent: “Whiskey is the world’s greatest enemy.” =President Robinson requested a standing prayer for the Rev. Wm. J. Walker which was offered by R. Jobnson. Communion services were held at the Virginia Avenue, Liberty, Enon, Third, D, ©. and 3rd Baptist Churches, Alexandria, Va., last Sabbath at 3p. m. and preaching at 8p. m. o'clock. The committee of arrangements for the Baptist Congress was in session on Monday last at 12 o'clock. The Mt. Bethel Baptist Associa- tion met Aug, 17th, and the First Washington on the 2nd Tuesday Sept. 10th, at the Fourth Baptist Chureh, R St. The death of Rey. W. J. Walker brings general grief to the city. The lecture room of the Virginia ‘ -e. Baptist Church, which will be ‘© main audience room for the present, is now handsomely com- pleted for seating and gassing, which is being done. The room is 45x60 with a seating capacity of 800, with a business office and pas- tor’s studio on the first floor. “I am op- TOWN TALK. The Board of School Trustees should be abolished. The editor of the ‘‘Advocate” is very changeable. He favored the school resolutions before they were presented, and even suggested several words. Hon. George Chandler is the Tight man to suc®eed Gen. Noble. Hon. B. K. Bruce will be appoint- edon or afterthe return of the President. Four prominent northern colored men will be appointed, McCabe of Kansas is to be one of them. Let the High Schools be reorgan- ized. Rev. G. W. Moore will be full of news on his return to the city from abroad. The Junior Excelsiors to River View Sept. 10th will be a great af~ fair. It looks as if Editor Oromwell was paid a fee. He has certainly turned a sum- mersault. You had better purchase your tickets in time for the excursion to River View September 10th. The Bee is the best paper in town to advertise in. THE LATE SARAH 8. TAYLOR- Resolutions of sympathy by the Mt. Carmel Baptist church cnoir: “Not long ago she filled her place and sat with us to learn, but she had rua her mortal race and never can return,”” Whereas it has pleased God in his wise providence to remove from our midst our much beloved member, Sarah S, Taylor. And whereas he is too good to do wrong and too wise to make any mistake; therefore be it Resolved that we hum)ly bow to the righteous wiliof Him who does all things well.

Referring to Shallenberge’s Antidote for Malaria, the business m inager of the “Herald of Faith” would say, that he gave this medicine a personal trial, and was speedily cured of an unpleasant In- termittent Fever. He then reccommead- edittoF. J. ‘iefendiaum, 1915 Pipin street, and to police o cer M denge, at the Union Depot, both of whom were cured by it of chills aud f ver of s-ve-al years’ standing.

In view of these remirkable cures, and remembering how much mony i< spent for quinine, so litile to be d pend d up- on, and often so injurious, we can oily wish that Shallenberger’s Antidote would come into general ase.
