SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, December 25 1903. NO. 34 i V", NEGRO'S OPPORTUNITY IN THE COMMERCIAL WORLD. Not since the Negro's arrival from "Darkest Africa," 1619 has hiii opportunity been so large, inviting and promising as it is to-day. Indeed, th's is his inviting field, and unlimited op portunity. For the intelligent, progres sive, down to date Negro, the Commercial World opens wide her doom and bids him welcome. The growing and perpetually expanding government under whose flag he lives and toil gives him great hope ai'd reason to hope. Our constant acquisition of new territory gives him great and additional opportunity. To equip the negro for this impor tant incrcasingopportunity, edu cational facilities arc not want ing. To achieve permanent and per petual success'he like all success lulmenand nations must have both, training and experience to cope with other nations; his su perior, only, by virtue of ecu u ries of general and special, the oretical and practical education. If with all these plus a techni cal, piofcssional, business and industrial education, other races can only succeed, how can the Negro hope to succeed with lens effot t, yes with the odds against him? Laws which make and govern these conditions must be studied, to be understood, to be mastered, to be properly applied. Along with common sense one of the Negro's greatest needs to day is to properly economize. If you would train a nation you must train the individual, to properly train the individual you mutt begin with the infant. To-day The Negro Commer cial World is sadly in need of more energetic well trained com petent accountants. The de mand and increase of efficient helpers grows with the years. The Magic-thc wonderful growth, the weekly increase of mercantile business in the Negro-business world calls for an increased number of capable young men and young women who posess a sufficient and usa ble amount of business training. Youug u en, young women scire the paxjng golden opportunity, Think-feel-act. Act now. II, L. Billups, CHRISTMAS. The Day Wo Celebrate. Christmas Day has been cele brated more or lesti every since the Birth of Christ, but at that time most of the people were in heathen-dome aud only a few would have any celebration. Yet as time rolled on and pople be came more christianized and civ ilized this day has been held by more people The first Xmas that has any great bearing in history was held by the Franks in the year 4 and the Day wag set for the great baptismal ceremony when the king and the nation was to be come, at last, christian. The King of of the Franks Clouis, was atfirnt a heathen, but by this ceremony on Xmas, he and all his people took Christ for their Master and a christain nation was set up in Middle Europe as a bulwark against the wild heath en of the Northern land. In the year of 800 Xmas Day was long remembered through out Europe because of the Cor nation of Charlemagne and histo rians have aid of him 1h.1t no soveign, no human being perhaps rendered greater service to civ ilization of the world and the great day, the Cornation-day, in the life of this hero of mediaeval chivalry, is a date easy to be re membered, livery school-boy should be grateful for so simple a "date of anchorage," Christ mas of the year BOO. Also anoth er Xmas that dawned upon the land of Europe was the Corna tion of William the Conqueror in the year 1066 on Xmas Day. These all are great happenings that occurred on Xmas Day in remembrance of the coming of Christ; yet most" people were atill in ignorance and did not ob serve the Day but the tide of af fairs has changed and the hap pening of this Day, the Birth of Christ, has caused it. The celebration is no longer to only a few people while others are still living in ignorance, but it has paved the way so that all nations can glorfy and magni fy the Holy name, and all may praise what the angel said on that morning "I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people; for there is born to you this day in the city to David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord and all may join with the Angelic host and sing "Glory of God in the highest and on earth peace among men1" From the dawn to the present time man has made great pro gress. He has come out of the heathen tage until now he is working and prospering in every avenue of life. The Birth of Christ also laid the foundation of Education, which has been the main factor in bringing man from the state of heathendom and tak ing the celebration from a nation al and making it a Universal Cel ebration. From that time man has been working and hunting the ideal that was set by Christ, for before man had nothing that was perfect and only had to mod el after that which seemed real in the sight of himself, but since then in all degrees of civilization this tendency toward tne ideal is found. Our greatest philoso phers and scicnts Newton and Franklin have been only able to think God's thoughtaftcr him." What vision of unnumbered stars in space must have filled the brain of Kepler before he gave to the warld the great laws of plan etary motion! Could the fingers of Raphael or Angelo have wrought their wonderful crea tions upon canvass, without their souls beiug first expanded into contemplation of the beauties of nature and the inspiration drawn from her inexhaustible store house. Why should we trust to the senses alone in the pursuit of wisdom, and happiness and neg lect to use the purer fountain of the soul truly. "Man does not live by bread alone." Since the way for man has been made then the aim of true living should be to make the ideal real; to actualize in every day affairs this spiritual essence which per mit all things to create for our self the condition of our happi ness, forall truly great and hap py lives have been those of ser vice. "He that loseth his life shall find it," in the service of others. It is an unchangeable law that we get from life what we put into it the; out going sympa thies aud helpful acts come back to us increased a hundred folds. Then the most truly happy and successful life must be the one founded upon these great princi ples that all are with the Univer sal Life; that the infinite source of wisdom is one from which to diaw inspiration and joy, that the outgiving of this joy in ser vice for others is pre-eminently the- life of progress upward and Godward, the life that dignifies manhood and womanhood by lifting them into the higher di vine law of being, the life that will be one of lasting peace, sat isfaction and power. Wc all may join with the poet and say: Hail the Holy child, hail our Lord aud King, Wise men and shepherds mild, Eager tribute bring. Sing all the earth and Heav en, This is Christmas morn, Joy to the world is given, Christ the Lord is born. J. W. Cooper. "Night" Anderson Accidental ly Kills Himself. "Night" Anderson, employed on the Ralph Down farm near Georgetown, was killed by the accidental discharge of a gun Tuesday, Anderson went out in a wagon to do some work, and had carried the gun with him. As there was no one with him, the accident can never be described. From his position; and that of the gun, it is supposed that he had left the wagon and in getting back in the wagon dropped the gun. Evi dently he had the gun full cocked for both barrels were emptied into his stomach, literaly blow ing hiiu ins'ide our. The shot entered about the navel and tore a hole in his back thru which the intestines were carried. Anderson was not dead when found, but lived from noon until 7:30 in the evening, FATAL FIRE. Ladlos Dormitory Burnod. 8TUDENTS M3AP FROM THIRD AND roUHTH FLOORS IN NIGIIT DRESS. Four persons dead, 18 believed fatally injured and probably ten or twelve more or less hurt is the result of a fire which almost totally destroyed Rust Hall, a womans dormitory of Walden U nivcrsity.at Nashville, Tenn.,last Friday night. The direct origin of the terri ple conflagration which was at tended with such terrible results, is not known. It is supposed to have started in the laboratory of the university which was located in the destroyed building. What added horror of the situ ation was the fact that most of those killed or hurt sustained the injuries by jumping from the windows of the burning building. While some of them were burn ed to a more or less extent, death or fatal injury csmc as the result of jumping from the dormitory. The neck of Nannie Johnion was broken by the fall; and besides broken limbs sustained by the others, many of them were inter nally injured. The destroyed dormitory was one of the oldest of Walden University, being sometimes known as the Admin istration Building. The building had no fire escapes, and was so far removed from any other structure that egress by means of other roofs was impos sible. It was a four-story brick building, and from the windows of the third and fourth stories the inmates jumped or fell to the ground. Awakened by the cries of those who had discovered the fire, the other inmates of the building had rushed from their rooms panic- striken. Althoughsome of them rushed down stairs through the smoke and heat, it was but .1 few moment this means of exit bad been cut oif, so rapid was the pro gress of the conflagration. It was then to the windows that they rushed as ottering the only means of escape. There was no time to secure clothingor anything else and the sixty of those who occupied the dormito ry who did reach the windows were clad only in their night dresses. Those occupying rooms on the second floor did not hesitate when they reached the windows, but leaped out into the open. Some of them were hurt, but not fatal ly, and a number were able to limp or crawl away from the scorching heat and out of harm's way. It was a more terrible predica ment for those on the third and fourth floors. The frenzied and screaming inmates crowded the windows, hesitating on the brink. The blind glare of the flames, then almost enveloping the doomed structure, and lighting the ground's ana 'the neighbor hood, showed them the distance they must leap. It was between 40 and SO feet that yawmcd between those in 'To Fourth page. t LOCAL MENTION Read our Pythian' Ad" on second page. iV) A hero is a man whb"dicd long time ago.

The refusal of Miss Hvans a teacher at Wellston, to attend a teacher's meeting at which a col ored teacher was present, is ex citing considerable interest, says the Globe-Democrat. The local board endeavored to force Miss Bvuns to attend this meeting, and when she persisted in hern fnsal, called upon superinten dent Andrae to revoke her cer tificate. Mr. Carrington has also writ ten Miss Hvans, telling her that the bojrd could not legally with hold her salary because she had refused to attend this meeting. Mr. Carrington, discussing the matter, said: "This is a trivial matter to ma ny, no doubt. In 18'1 I took the initiative that drew the color line on attendance at the state teach ers' training school, for which I was roundlyabuscdinsomc quar ters. When I became a member of the Lincoln Institute board of regents I took the position that there should be no white teach ers there.

Miss Evans docs not doubtthat her res ignation will be accepted. For live years Miss Evans, who lives at s')s') Cote Brilliante Ave., has presided over the primary de partment of the Wellston school. All was serene until at the begin ning of the present term, when Mrs. Susan B.Leon, the princi pal, passed a rule requiring all the teachers to attend semi monthly meetings, in order to, keep the work running smoothie in the different departments. A school for colored children is maintained by the Wellston district apart from the school for white children, as is required by law, and isuuder the supervision of the board of directors, exactly in the same way. Miss Beatrice Hudlin is the teacher. As a mem ber of the regular corps of teach ers, she was required to be pre sent at these meeting-. For the first three meetings she failed to attend, believing that she was not wanted at the gathering of white inatructor.s but at the end of that time she received her instruction as to the desires of the board and principal. Miss Evans was pre sent at the next meeting. "I was there when she came in," Mie said last night, giving the cm pression that she was not there it the close of the gathering. At the next meeting of the teachers Miss Evans was absent. She was questioned as to the rea son, and frankly stated that she would not attend with a colored teacher. T hcnMrn. Leon inform ed her that if she did not attend her salary would stop. Mis Evans consulted an attorney, and was told that she should either or resign, as she could not hold the board to her contract unless she abided by the rules. Acting on the advice of her counsel, she resigned. Miss Evans called on the coun ty superintendent at Clayton yes terday and discussed the situa From First page.) the third and fourth story win dows and the ground.

Oth ers looked down, hesitated as they screamed for help, then leaped out into space. It was only a little while until the ground on one side of the building was literally strewn with bodies. Some were dead, others were dying andstill others were so badly" injured as to be tm.iblc to make their way unas sisted onto! danger. Tlte firemen, the police and nt-iuhborsall responded as ci uick- ;ly as human beings could, and in instant nan gone to work to aid the inutred and remove them from the glare of the fire. In a nioiig the moaning or lifelesi bodies they made their way, giv ing no thought to possible- dan ger to themselves. A ladder was run up to the windowsofthethird story, thru which the firemen rushed and made as thoro search as possible in the heatand smoke. iso one was lotiiid ny tttein and they made their way back down the ladder. Those injured were picked up and taken to the surrounding homes, which had the appearance ot hospitals. The scene at the home of Dr. J. B'-nson Hamilton, President of the college, was one of grcif and desolation. The floor ot every room in the house was the resting plaecof the injure I, and in one room there were two1 corpses. Mattic Lee Moore, of Huntsville, and Nannie Johnson, ot .Mississippi, were the dead. The bodies snowed no evideitcij of external injury and they were killed by internal injuries, death coming to them in a few minutes after they were found. Miss li enor Mobre, the preceptress of the dormitory and one of the in structors has Iter back broken and is severely burned. Dr. Jlain ilton said that it was about elev en o'clock when he heard the shrieks and screams of the stu dents, who were leaping building At that time the entire roof of the house seemed in flames. Miss Eleanor Moore, precco tress of the dormitory, was the only white person to fall a victim to tlte fire.
