"Success is a Shy Bird"-Advertisers Captures It Through THE FREEMAN THE FREEMAN AND ETHIOPIA SHALL STRETCH FORTH HER HAND A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XIV NUMBER 26. METHOD EMPOYED BY TWO GREAT NEGRO SCHOOLS COMMENDED BY A WELL- KNOWN LITERARY Man After a Visit to Tuskegee Industrial Institute. EDUCATING HAND AND MIND Necessary to a Thorough Education- Those at the Head of Divisio ns- Thoroughness of Aim--Value of the Work Done. A man well known in American literary life recently visited the Tuskegee Institute, and in writing to a Northern publication as to the methods employed at Tuskegee for the education of colored young men and women expressed the thought among other things that, "what is now known as industrial training" is not, as some who misunderstand it imagine, merely training the hands to use tools. Hand training is only a part of a well laid educational plan—a plan that forbids a pupil to be graduated in carpentry, for instance, who has not attained also a required standard of purely academic work, and it forbids a pupil to be graduated in an academic course who has not done satisfactory work at a trade. Men and women who have had such training are not simply better equipped than men and women of the same native capacity who have not had it; they are thereby made radically different persons—different in character, in method, in ambition, in their outlook on life. All this is elementary, so absurdly simple and obvious that few persons see the significance of it in building up the Negro, except the persons who have been to Hampton or Tuskegee or some similar school, and seen the system applied. Nor do professional educators yet understand that while they have been discussing courses of study and psychological problems, there has been worked out in their own generation and on the humblest educational level, the only system of education that can help the masses, particularly in an agricultural country, to a normal development—the only system about which there is never a difference of opinion among its beneficiaries. General Armstrong, and his greatest pupil, Mr. Booker T. Washington, are generally regarded as educators of the Negroes. So they are, but they are much more; for the system that they have worked out applies as well to one race as to another, and it contains the one permanent and revolutionary development of popular education that has been made since the enthusiasm of Horace Mann pushed the public school system into practically universal application." I have quoted thus at length because this exposition of the theory of education at Tuskegee illustrates perfectly the thoughts entertained by those who control the destinies of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. There has prevailed in some quarters the mistaken opinion that little or no academic or normal training is afforded at Tuskegee. This is a very grave error. While the institute lays stress upon agricultural, mechanical and domestic sciences at the same time it does not undervalue academic and normal training. At Tuskegee, the question is not how much, but how thorough. While the course of study is not so broad as is true of some other institutions, still it is true that there is no institution in all the land where thoroughness is more a requirement than at Tuskegee. More and more every year it is the policy of the institution to raise the academic standard and to make the requirements for graduation more and more severe. A large number of students are either refused admission each year because of failure to comply with the entrance requirements, or are dropped out before the end of the year because they cannot keep up in the academic branches. The academic training is mainly given in the direction of mathematics, literature, and the sciences. Nothing is attempted outside of the English branches, absolute thoroughness is required in these branches. There are few if any institutions in the South that have more thorough courses in the sciences than Tuskegee Institute. This is especially true in regard to chemistry. botany, natural philosophy, physiology etc. botany, natural philosophy, physiology etc. The instruction in the academic as well as in the agricultural, mechanical and domestic branches is so inter-related that it is absolutely impossible for a student to get the benefit of one without the other. At Tuskegee it is never lost sight of that the young men and women who come here are not simply seeking educational progress but also how they may become most helpful and useful not only to themselves but to their fellows as well. In all the academic teaching at Tuskegee books are employed as helps rather than as the main dependence. The instruction is carried on mostly by objective methods. The students are carried into the field, into the shops, and are required to work out the actual problems which they come face to face with, everyday problems. From the establishment of the institution it has been the policy of its Principal, Mr. Washington, to get hold of the best teachers for the academic and normal courses (as well as for all the other divisions) regardless of where they are educated; neither the question of the place of education nor the denominational leanings of the individual are taken into consideration, the fitness of the instructor alone is considered. Mr. J. D. McCall, a college graduate, is at the head of the academic training. The normal branch of the academic work is under the direction of Miss S. H. Porter, a competent and experienced teacher. The effort at Tuskegee is to make the teaching normal (not only in name but in fact as well.) Mr. McCall has a corps of active and brilliant assistants, 27 in number, who come from such institutions as the Armour Institute of Technology, University of Chicago, Kansas State University, Hampton Institute, Chicago Art Institute, Fisk University, Atlanta University, Massachusetts State Normal School, Straight University, Radoliffe College, Boston Normal School of Gymnastics and the Connecticut State Normal School. Many of the teachers of the academic department also spend the summer at Martha's Vineyard, the Hampton Summer Institute, University of Chicago and any other places where they can be helped. Besides, the institute annually employs one of the foremost pedagogical experts of America to come to Tuskegee to lecture on the underlying principles of teaching. The academic work of the school divided into three preparatory and four normal grades of instruction. Five hundred graduates have gone out from the school and are doing effective work in various communities, and more than 5,000 others who were not able to remain to complete the course of study are doing helpful and satisfactory work in various communities throughout the South as well as in the Northern states. Mr. McCall, the director of the academic department, is a graduate of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., and is well prepared for the work which is under his general supervision. Mr. McCall is an ardent student. In chemistry he is a trained expert. Since coming to Tuskegee he has spent his summers at Marta's Vineyard, and in studying advanced work in chemistry at the University of Wisconsin, and advanced work in bacteriology at the University of Chicago. During eight years of his connection with the school Mr. McCall rendered invaluable service as instructor in the natural sciences and had demonstrated his ability so completely for the more responsible position of director of the department that he was promoted to it when a vacancy occurred three years ago. During the three years he has been director he has brought the department up to a very high degree of efficiency. Mr. J, R. E. Lee, who is in charge of the mathematics division, is a native of Texas, and a graduate of the college department of Bishop College, class of 1889. Mr. Lee taught in the public schools of Texas for a number of years and later returned to his alma mater and was for eighty years employed as head of the division of college mathematics and during the summers conducted state summer normal institutes for teachers. He has taken a special course at the University of Chicago, and since coming to Tuskegee has brought the division, over which he presides, up to a very high standard. He has made the subject of pedagogy a special study. The division of English and Elocution is in charge of Mr. Charles Winter Wood, a graduate of Beloit College, Beloit, Wis., also of the Chicago Theological Seminary. Mr. Wood has been of invaluable service to the institution and is regarded as one of the important men of the Academic Department. Mr. T. W. Talley, a graduate of Fisk University, is in charge of the chemistry and science divisions of the school. Mr. Talley is a thorough expert and has done much INDIANAPOLIS IND., SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1901 JAMES D. McCALL, Director Academic Department, Tuskegee Institute. individual work. He is regarded as one of the most advanced Negro writers on biological subjects. He has infused new life into his division since becoming connected with the school. them. We mention this as a many white teachers, who more in these days of late spring by taking their pupil and giving their arithmetic Among others who may be mentioned are the following: Mr. F. C. Johnson, a graduate of the Armour Institute of Technology, teacher of mathematics and manual training; Mr. John J. Wheeler, Armour Institute of Technology, mathematics; Rev. B. H. Peterson, Lincoln University, psychology; Mr. J. W. Myers, State Normal School, Michigan, physics; Miss Clara M. Coy, Connecticut State Normal School; writing; Mrs. A. U. Craig, University of Kansas, English, Phelps Hall Bible School; Mrs. L. L. Kenniebrew, Fisk University, English grammar, physiology; Miss Minnie C. Kelley, Chicago Art Institute, freehand drawing; Miss Lula M. Cropper, Tuskegee Institute, critic teacher, in charge of Training School; Miss Melissa A. Jones, Chicago High School, assistant teacher Training School; Miss Alberta V. Scott, Radcliffe College, Cambridge, reading; Miss Azalei Thomas, Boston Normal school of Gymnastics, gymnastics, as well as others who have also been well prepared for the work which is required of them. In conclusion I beg to quote from an article contributed to the American Monthly Review of Reviews for June, written by its editor, Mr. Albert Shaw, who visited Tuskegee with the Ogden party last April. Among other things Mr. Shaw writes: "As throwing a sidelight on the co ordination of educational and practical work at (at Tuskegee) a little circumstance may be noted that was observed by the writer in visiting a night class of young pupils in arithmetic. Each one of these pupils, boys girls alike, had been required to go to the place where ground had been broken for the new Carnegie Library, take careful measurement of the ground as staked out, and make a neat scale drawing from which a practical builder could have worked. Having ascertained the superficial area, each pupil was instructed to find out the depth to which the architect had decided to dig the cellar, and then to calculate the number of cubic yards of necessary excavation. Thus, not only were such students as actually worked on the Carnegie Library building obliged to learn these things as they labored, but even the pupils serving in other parts of the industrial organization were taught their lessons in mathematics, not so much from books as through direct application to the problems that had to be solved every day in the work going on about them. We mention this as a simple hint to many white teachers, who might accomplish more in these days of late spring and early summer by taking their puns out of doors, and giving their arithmetic or geography lessons a relation to things in the vicinity, than by severe thumbing of books through weary hours at stiff desks. The Tuskegee method does not unduly discount books, but it brings them into their right relation to education and life. It is conspicuously true that the pupils educated by the Hampton and Tuskegee method come into a simpler, more direct, and more excellent use of the English language than those in certain other institutions who are taught by the more conventional literary methods, and whose use of language has a tendency to become stilted and artificial." In this somewhat hasty review of the academic work we we have been able in a small degree to give some idea of the value of the work which is being done along academic lines at Tuskegee.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. Smith.—"What makes Jones think he is so wise?" Brown.—"Because he is the product of his own school." "A great many colored men," said Uncle Zeke, the alley philosopher, "is just like a train of cars. They set out all right on the track, but just as soon as the train gets to running smoothly they fancy they can do without the track and they get on the ties; then away goes everything." There will be a grand recital on Christmas day, July 4th, at the Wentave, ball park, given by Mr. Fred Burch, assisted by Albert Johnson. It is hardly necessary for me to extol these gentlemen. Both of them have voices of ineffable sweetness. Their voices are so sweet that the ladies are bottling them for perfume purposes. The following clipping from the Breezy Gazette tells its own tale: "Mr. Burch is certainly a daring baritone. The pathos in his voice is some thing wonderful. More than once was I compelled to shed tears. He made "g" so many times during last night's recital that it can be truly said he kept on a running flirtation with it." "Mr. Burch was assisted by Mr. Albert Johnson, who, at one period of his life, was a pianist, but now a romantic tenor. Last night he simply gushed notes. He attempted one note, which was a three-base hit after high "c," but the fielders played too far back. In their drinking duet they were particularly happy. Some said the liquor in the glasses was real whiskey, while others said it was only the color of the glasses. The matter will be settled at the debating club next week as it is the next subject." Let every one attend the park and hear these gentlemen bawl a few notes. The proceeds go toward the establishment of a brass band refinery. Tickets at your own price. Come one, come in droves. If the guesses of some person are true, Tom The Tattler is a multifarious multiplicity, inclined to pessimism. But he is n't. He is one being, a plain, every day sort of fellow, who sees good in everything—except one. I bet on a race horse the other day and he never left the post. Up-to-date I have been unable to find the good in that. Supposing a library and a saloon stood side by side, which would receive the most patronage from colored professionals? Answer early to avoid the rush. Mrs. Nancy Irving, one of the enthusiasts and fanatics of Chicago, says she will give a thousand dollars to every business man who can show her that he can run his business a month without lying. Nancy evidently believes the truth and Geo. Washington were interred in the same grave. A lady reader writes to me to know why apples do not grow on pear trees. If any one knows please inform me so I can do the same to her. Here's a hot one: I chanced upon it in reading Byron's Don Juan: The tenor's voice is spolt by affectation And for the bass, the beast can only bellow; In fact, he had no singing education: An ignorant, noteless, timeless, tuneless fellow But being the prima donna's near relation, Who swore his voice was rich and mellow, They hired him, though to hear him you'd believe An ass was practising recitation. Byron may not have posed as a prophet, but if he hasn't accurately described the present condition of musical affairs in Chicago, I'm a liar. There are more performers in Chicago than one with time locks on their brains. Two tramps were walking over a bridge and one of them, as he looked down at the water, said to the other, LINIMENT.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER "Say pard, spose this bridge wuz to break, wouldn't it be awful?" The song says. "I'm going to live anyway till I die," but there are moments in the Tattler's life when he does not believe he will live that long. The following, I learn, is to be the contract of one of our managers whose head carries no celebrity for its brain power: "Agreement made and entered into this 47th day of June, 1901, between A. B. C as party of the first, and D. E. E as party of the second part. 'In consideration of one ($1.00) dollar which I agree to pay, but never will, the party of the second part agrees to become a member of my company. Each member's salary will be five dollars ($5.00) weekly, the same to be reduced one dollar and a quarter ($1.25) the first bad house we strike. 'The party of the second part shall drink no whiskey, beer, nor other intoxicants, as the party of first part will take that as an encroachment on his most sacred privileges. Party of the first part will do all the drinking with this show. Any party of the second part caught drinking without the party of the first part will be instantly "fired." "It is also agreed that whenever the party of first part runs out of funds the show closes then and there, and all second part parties must get back to Chicago by the best means they can. Party of first part agrees to furnish tips on the best roads free of charge for those who intend to walk, and will display or cause to be displayed a card telling the departure of all freight trains for those who prefer this route. "Six dollars will be taken out of each member's salary as a holdback each week. "Any time party of first part gets in arrears to the parties of the second part they must consider the same paid. "It is further agreed that after the party of first part has lied every lie known to the art of lying, has sunk to the lowest depths of morality, he must be praised for his virtue and other angelic qualities by all second part parties, or they will not be taken on the road next season. "In witness whereof the parties of the first and second part have hereunto set their hands and seal the day and year first above written." William McKinley manfully declares he will not be a candidate tor a third term. Now Billy Bryan won't you come forward with a letter and tell the American people you will not be a mark the third time? If there is any truth in the saying "the first shall be last, and the last shall be first," then the Chicago National League ball team will go in Heaven with a rush. What ignorance there is in the profession. Not long since a group of black thespians had congregated in a well-known place in town and after a good deal of talk that amounted to nothing some one began to ask questions, and I append a few of them, with answers, below: "How would one go, in going from here to Boston?" was asked "Go to the West side, take the Burlington, go to Omaha, and change cars and go East." was the reply. "What is the capital of Idaho?" "Salt Lake City," some one replied. "What is the longest river in the world?" Several answers: "Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri and St. Lawrence" "Who was Homer?" "Another name for a home run." "Who was Hannibal?" After a long silence one thespian feebly ventured the answer. "Hannibal Carter," meaning thereby one of our local colored politicians. Who was the greatest general of the American revolution?" "Gen. Grant." "What is an X-ray?"

HUNTER C. HAYNES. There are few barbers in Chicago and the Northwest that don't know Hunter C. Haynes, better known as the "King of Razor Traders" Haynes first came to Chicago's barber notice in '98, when he bought up every razor in the Chicago pawnshops, and after having them ground over he traded them off to a big profit. Some of his close friends estimate that he cleared up something like $1,000 on the deal. He practically had a corner on second-hand razors in Chicago at that time. A few months later he introduced to Chicago barbers the Greater New York razors with great success. He is manufacturer of fine razor strops, his strops having gained for him considerable fame and admirers in the barber world throughout the West. The Haynes strop is now being used by some of the most expert artists A. H. HUNTER HAYNES. Famous Pedestrian Razor Trader* of Chicago, Ill. Now on a Tour Through the United States. in the country. His attempt to enter every barber shop in the United States for a wager of $5 000 has caused many hot discussions with Chicago barbers, and some have bet on the result. The agreement is to enter ninety per cent of total number of barber shops in the United States in two years, name and address of each barber, signature of mayor of each city and village, to make expenses only by razor trading, limited time two years, from April 1, 1901, to April 1, 1903. He will travel by railroad and wheel. He estimates 500,000 barber shops in the United States, and says he will make from 100 to 300 per day. He figures on the number of barber shops in Chicago, 3 200, about 200 invisible to the walking public, with a average of three barbers to a shop, 9 600 barbers, 73 lady barbers, 12 Chinamen included. His record—Traded 90 000 razers, has entered over half a million barber shops and sprinted something like 4 000 miles in three years. After he has closed his engagement J. L Cisternman, of Chicago, will back him for any amount to walk against any barber in the world from six to twenty days. Mr Haynes closed a contract with a house in New York City to furnish $5 000 worth of razor stamps annually. The main office and factory is located at 3537 Dearborn street, Chicago, Ill., with a branch office at 172 Center street, New York City. Race Gleanings At the Y. M C.

It seems that the colored waiter can not prosper in this country. ‘The ques- tion may be asked, why? It is because he works for nothing and stands all scinds of punishment in hotel line, more zothan his white brother. He works for about fifty cents per day, and stands to be charged twenty-five cents for be- ing about ten minutes’ late. How on earth can he live at that rate? I will say, right here, my brother waiters, we must come together; we must value our service at something, and whenever the white men of this bright country see that the Negro waiter is worthy of such prices they will immediately give it to them, Colored waiters do the same ind of work that the white man do and get abont one-half as much wages. ‘At that rate it would be better for us to zo back to our Southern homes snd hitch up old “Beck” and begin plowing again. When we were on the farm there was less sickness, less consumption in the Negro families than there are chills and fever to-day. We stand too much taxation; we cannot prosper; we must be men; we must be gentlemen: we must respect ourselves and others will respect us. Headwaiters and cap. tains should ask for better wages for their crews go as to permit them to go neat and clean. Ask your proprietor, and if he is the right kind of man he will give it unhesitatingly. It is partly the headwaiters and captains fault that the side waiters do not get any more wages. They don’t ask for it. J. W. Redmond is the headwaiter of the Bullock hotel at Deadwood, South Dakota, He hasa regular crew of fif- teen waiters, who are doing well. He likes ‘The Freeman and appreciates its efforts in behalf of the hotel fraternity. Joseph 8. Davis, formerly headwaiter at the Southern, Mobile, Ala., is now in Baifalo, N. Y. Buffalo, N. ¥., is still overran with waiters. ‘They only receive $25 and $30 per month, and have to pay all expenses and at this low salary there is no demand for waiters.

John Jordan Miles, who recently cele- brated his silver anniversary as chief of the Planirinton house waiters, has a Proper conception of the eternal fitness of things.

Having heard much of the great in- flux of waiters to Buffalo, which com- pletely overerowded the city long before the exposition opened, I decided to make @ personal investigation of the report. After one week's stay here was sorry to find that the report is only too true. I will venture to say that at this writing there are fally 300 waiters here idle owing to the fact that there is nothing for them to do. Many of the above have been here five and six weeks, and have almost gone blind looking for work. In the meantime they have been compelled to pay from $1.50 to $2.00 per week for a room, and in some places four or five are sleeping in one room. ‘The above prices may seem extortious, but when you know that houses renting eight months ago for $30, are now*§75, and those at $60 and $70 are now $130 and $150, you can easily understand why the room rent is so high. Everything else has advanced in price accordingly. Since here I have met many waiters whom 1 bave known in other cities and who have always worked and madea ‘neat appearance, but now, to nse a slang phrase, they are decidedly on the “bum.” Some of the waiters here who have be- come destitute beat their way on the trains to other cities with hopes of find- ing employment. This is also trae in regard to other working people, princi- pally colored. They all have suffered severely. The real cause of the above condition of affairs ia due to the fact that, although the Pan-smerican Expo- sition was to have opened May ist, it is not yet and will not be completely fin- ished before July ist, and the continued cold weather has had a marked effect upon the visitors, all of which hinders ‘hotel business.

One of the most convincing testimonials to the efficacy of RIPANS ‘TABULES as a positive cure for all stomach troubles is given by Mrs. 8. C. ‘Warner, of Burlington, Vt. Mrs. Warner is a long-time resident of the city and is well and favorably known in the community. Her testimony is direct and siren and can be easily verified. In an interview with a reporter of the Burlington der Newsshe says: “I will be sixty-one years old next April, and all my life hhad been a great sufferer with dyspeneia and indigostion. ‘Up to threo yeara ago I was sure that nothing would help me, as I had tried almost every Aenown senedy-—none giving cinclieeiot, One day mip tanlle phere, Billiard and Pool in annex = WAND a P NW Nee \ Wi yi VL hel \ INKS oN WE f VIZ aX y eae Ni Ls es he ! e Bi\\ Hi ‘Siatawld er S| aes it eT Shee we ae Ss —— = sy oie Ramat tee ee Dr. Lund, told me to try RIPANS TABULES, as he had found them of great benefit in several obstinato cases of indigestion and dyspepsia. I will say candidly that I had little faith in them or in any other medicine when I began taking the TABULES. Much to my surprise, I felt better within a day, and was soon greatly relieved. I kept taking them and continued to improve. I felt like a new woman, and my neighbors and friends saw a. great change for the better in my health: «“ Dyspepsia runs in the family ; my mother had it for years, and other relatives have suffered tortures with it. I can't say too much in favor of RIPANS TABULES. Before I began taking them I could eat nothing but the very plainest food—a little bread and butter and tea being my principal dict for-a long time. Pspecially was this truo at night, and when I ate of something at all rich I quickly suffered in consequence. Now this is all changed. "If I desire to eat anything extra for supper—cake, pie or other del- icacies—I simply take a TABULE at meal time and before I retire. I feel perfectly safe in taking them, and have never heen troubled in the least. “Then at dinner I eat almost anything with impunity. Last summer I wanted a strawberry shortcake. For years I could not eat a piece of short, cake. You know, to be good, it should be rich, and Tam exceedingly fond of it made so. However, T always suffered much if I dared touch any. | Well, as I was saying, last summer I wanted some and thought I would chance it, knowing of what benefit the TABULES had been to me. I ate some, and found that it agreed with me Perfectly. : “Of course, 1 take the TABULES regularly and just as directed on the box, at every meal and before going to I don’t know how many boxes Thave taken—several hundred at least—and I would not be without them for anything. A year or so ago I did stop taking them for a time, but con- cluded to begin again, they jwere of s0 much henefit. I like tho popular five-cent boxes, with ten in a box, the best. “Some of the neighbors have laughed at me for having so much faith in the TABULES, saying that I had more faith in them than I had in God; bué of course this is not so. Lhave always been subject to bad sick headaches until I began taking the TABULES, and you don’t know what a relief it is to be entirely free from these. It is truly wonderful the change it has mado inme My friends tell me T look and act twenty-five years younger. I have been a widow nineteen years and havo had five Shitden. "They have all been e taking , and I can't say too much in praise of ieee ys Mrs S.C. WARNER.” Dr. W. E. Lund, a leading physician of Burlington, Vt., in an interview said: 3 ‘Thave recommended RIPANS TABULES tomy patients on many occa gions as an excellent remedy for stomach troubles. 1 am a busy man and am frequently stopped in the street by patients who suffer from dyspepsia, and indigestion and desire me to treat them. Instead of stopping to write a Prescription, I simply say: ‘Take RIPANS TABULES’ They do so and aro relieved” “Did you recommend the TABULES to Mrs. 8. C. Warner?” “T believe I did, although I have recommended them so often that I don’t remember. Mrs. Warner is my patient. I consider the TABULES a simple and effective remedy for all stomach troubles.”” (here ts scarcely any condition of {health that is not benefited by the occasional uso of a R-LP-AXS ‘ables ana the pricettn for ve cents-docs not bag them from aay bom ne 18 baaerog Sap Soa, Sept homie conninine pie cud for ua Foreilren ts Sat — a ee, DR.

SATURDAY, JUNE 29 1901, THE FUTURE OF THE NEGRO, It is beginning to dawn on the Negroes generally, that if they will be saved, they must save themselves. The idea that they were to enter at once into all the pursuits and walks of American life without violent protest has been dissi- pated through the actual oecurrences of the last four decades. It would be too long a story to rehearse the reasons for this embargo on the activities in the di- rection thought out, or to account for the seemingly undimished prejudices. In the interest of trath, the exact trath we feel free to say, however, that the rea- sons are not to be charged altogether to one race, There is much that can yet be done on the Negroes’ side that would tend to put a better face on matters. ‘There has been undergoing a gradual change in the minds of the thoughtfal of either race concerning education and politics as it concerns the Negroes, which has indeed upset the first caleula- tions of many, but which, after all, has a tendency to broaden the foundation on which racial progress must rest. eines) eb eeu ew ae The Booker T. Washington theory of education has come to stay, not because he advocates it, nor because rich men are sustaining his school, but because ‘ho has an institution that meets the re- quirements—the exigencies of the day. It is pity, but true, that the race, as a rule, has entertained inflated notions about the matter of education. It rath- er looked forward to an education that vied with the whites with their centu- ries of leisure,and their myriads of routes for its employment. Education that unfits the individual to grapple with his surroundings, his environments, is a misfit. The masses of any race do not hope to be educated as its classes. Those who oppose Mr, Washington's theory advance that argument. But those in- timately acquainted with the race must admit that Negro parent slaves it to make a fine lady or gentleman ont of the daughter or son, whereas the poor white parents hope and endeavor to turn out bread winners, notwithstand- ing they have no color condition to overcome. Hig) ee ba The lady and gentleman idea, doubt- ess, was born of the slavery period. ‘The “great” who called at the “big house” received flattering attention from master and from slave. The de: sire to be the recipients of such atten- tion or to have it bestowed on their kind was the result of association and infan- tile minds, which have not as yet left the will free to have the children taught to feel that the conditions must deter- mine the education. Happily we may say that the notion of turning out ladies ‘and gentlemen instead of women and men ison the wane. The trades, the fields, the shops, are, as they should now be are given greater consideration. Mr. Washington eternally dwells on the theory of doing something, producing something; and especially do we recom- mend the field with its thousand ave- nued opportunity. Competition in the products of the field isfair. ‘The school prepares the farmer as well as it does the classicist, RT aU Ae an ek es A company of Negroes equipped to make @ wagon throughont will at least make living wages even should the arti- cle be sold for a few dollars less in order to make it go.

Other en- torprises with a small output of capital ‘would insure wages if no more. Do Negroes receive fair wages generally? at eae pas ne el dea ce If the Negroeshave dreamed that they vere to move unscrutinized in the in- dustrial procession as they found it ex- isting when they obtained their freedom, they have long ere this been rudely awakened. It is not always prejudice with shop owners and proprietors of other concerns that prevent them from employing Negroes; it is that gen- eral mass prejudice that puts an em- phatic veto on any such intentions. It resolves itself into a business proposi- tion with him, ‘The store owner allows no philanthropy in his business. He is dictated to by that course which insures him the greatest prosperity. He may not be wholly free from prejudice, but it is not that which determines his ac- tions; its the prejudice of the masses. He will not sacrifice his existence by opposing it, It is a mistake to wail at this class who are at the mercy of the masees, It is more than probable that ” would do different if free to do 80. ele we ea ce) ® ‘The question is often asked can the ‘Negroes work out their own salvation? Will they do it? The answer is: ‘They have it to do or reap the very bitter consequences, ‘The wardship idea is not part of the American institu- tions asit concernsthem. Competition, deadly competition is the fiat. The white man gives no quarters nor takes any; nothing but sheer force; absorption’ extinction; annibilation or what not in the commercial, industrial competitive sense. Nothing is longer conceded; no special places for white men, for black mer, but for the man with the greatest pull. White barbers, white waiters, white coachmen are no longer “‘curios,” they are persistent in their effort to es- tablish themselves, having no regard for peculiar races with peculiar occupa- tions. It means the Negroes must hus- tle and rustle, create avenues, open new vistas, born new projects and thus avoid alms seeking and poor houses in the end. Politics has played an undue part in perpetuating prejudice. It has con- tributed, it is true, much in the way of wealth to many of the race. It has honored thousands by places of trast, honor and profit, It has been the means of developing the latent abilities of the village Hampdens, embryo Pitts, Glad- stones, Websters, Clays and Calhouns, It has been the means of demonstrating fealty to party, to campand to the coun- try. For this a glorious apostrophe is due those who have proven no cravens at any stage of the race's career. If there was but that picture on which to look, the occasion of this very article would not be necessary.

But beyond all this stands that grim complement in the way of civil depression, political stagnation, if not utter palsy. ‘The courts have surren- dered their functions to the mobs in some localities and all but anarchy sits enthroned.

Leaving Jackson in June, 1899, Dr. Miller located in Canton and has since built a large practice and opened ® drug store on the modern ends right there, Thisstrenuons Amer- ican life demands work of every indi- vidual in some form. It revolts at the idler. Se a ee an es Re Disfranchisements owe their rise as much to the indolence and vice of too large a class of Negroes as they do to prejudice on the part of the whites. No respectable class of men, white-or black, is going to be governed by 8 hoodlum element whose bellies are the main objects of their existence, The Journal of this city, one of the most in- fluential northern dailies, is right when it says Booker T. Washington will not be disfranchised. It means further, thet his class will not be disturbed. It will concern us very little as to what Alabama may do to the whites to spur them up to their duties, providing that is their object. The whites are not on trial; its the Negroes. If the disfranchisements are the means of creating better Negroes, they will have builded better than they knew. If they reduce hoodinmism; creating Washing- tons, we will not be concerned about the hoodlums of other races. ‘The de- cline and fall of disfranchisements are the two last acts of the great political drama. The Negroes have it within their power to hasten or prolong the day. What will they do with it? IN BOERLAND. H. L. Scott, of Oakland, Cal., has re- turned home after a protracted stay in Africa, He was besieged with the Eng- lish at Lady Smith, where, he says, the rations were reduced to horse flesh and not too much of that. Yet ng man said surrender. He speaks especially of the bravery of the English soldiery, which has been called in question by many.

Dr. Lucille F, Miller, wife of Dr. 8 A. Miller, 18 2 Mississrppian, and a literary graduate from New Orleans University, ‘New Orleans, La. After teaching a short while, she decided to begin her chosen pro~ fession which was medicine, She went to Nashville and graduated from Maharry Medioal College, class of 1900, Mra, Dr. Miller had the pleasure of passing the State Medical Board of Examiners, held in Jack- gon recently. This gives her the honor of neing the first and only woman of her race to pass the board and to practice medicine in this state. Drs. Miller & Miller are doing quite a successful practice and a fine drug business. Mr. James D. Weathers, his (Mr. Miller's) brother in-law has recently passed the Mississippi State Board of Pharmacy and now has charge of the Miller & Miller's drag store as manager and pharmacist. Dr. and ‘Mrs, Dr. Miller are blessed with a fine boy four months old, weighing 25 pounds, Little Maceo Abert is tine and healthy and a born vegetables, also in grafting tame fruits ‘on wild roots with much success. ‘While thus engaged he went on a trading trip to Central Africa as far as the British Central Company's territory, crossing the Zambesi at Great Victoria Falls, moving northwesterly until he reached the border of Portuguese West African possessions. From there he continued south through Portuguese territory to the southwest German territory, which involved cross- ing the great Klaharai Desert, abont 150 miles wide. on 90 miles of which no ‘water worth speaking of can be found. BISHOP WALTERS AS AN OPTIMIST Bishop Alexander Walters, of the A. M E. Zion church, appeared in a lec: ture before an intellectual audience at Jones Tabernacte church of this city last week. In reviewing the progress of thé race from the introduction of slavery up until the present time he saw no reason for discouragement. He cited the long period of waiting before the Negroes secured proper recognition in the army. Their valor as soldiers, he says, was proven at Bunker's Hill, Bos- ton Commons and Yorktown. As sol- diers, they took a conspicuous part in the war of 1812, and especially so in the great civil war. ‘The bishop feels that in view of the one hundred or more years required in bringing about the proper appreciation of their worth as soldiers, the progress ‘since then has been satisfactory. He feels that the probationary period, look- ‘ing forward to the enfranchisement of Negroes should have come immediately subsequent to the war, thus avoiding the period of preparation now being in- -stitated by disfranchising States. _ Be says, however, that, since it hap- pened as it did, that the Negroes were enfranchised when they were, that they should enter a manly protest against the invasion of their rights. According to Bishop Walter's state- ment the Afro-American Council has took the initiative towards contesting some of the late disfranchising enact- ments, especially those that do violence to the Federallaws. He has much hops for securing a favorable decision on the “grandfather”, clause of the Louisiana constitution. ‘The bishop is in accord with Booker T Washington as it con- cerns Negroes’ education. The Constitutional Convention of Alabama will, in all probabulity, adopt the following clanse as a part of the new constitution of that State: *Wheuever any prisoner is taken from jail or from the custody of a sheriff or deputy and put to death or suffers griev- ous bodily harm owing to neglect. con- niyance, cowardice or other grave fault of a sheriff, such sheriff may be im- pesched. and the Gove nor when satisti ed after hearing the sheriff, that he should be impeached may suspend him from office for such time as he may think proper until the impeachment proceediage are finally disposed of and such sheriff shall not hold any other office daring the time for which he has “been elected ” ‘Tne clause, it will be noted, 16 very similar to one of those of the anti-lynch- ing bill passed by the legislature of Indiana. Judging from the disposition of the convention of Alabama as it refers to the Negroes’ education and the mob spirit the race have much reason to hope that its real good is being carefully con sidered. Booker T. Washington, president of the National Negro Business League, has issued a call for its second annual meeting to be held in Chicago, August 21, 22and 23. The first meeting was held in the city of Boston last year, where much good was accomplished by the way of encouraging Negroes to em- bark their money in race enterprises. Many of the most prominent men of the country are identified with the move- ment. A very large attendance is ex- pected in Chicago. Dr. M.A. Majors, of Waco, Texas, isin the city, where he thinks he will locate permanently. He is not only a physician of reputation, but has gained distinction as a newspaper man and an author.

Mr. Price is awaiting a few answers before he determines whether he will play vaudeville or join a company. Notes from New Orleans Minstrels. At the close of our two days' engagement at Washington, D. C., a paper THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER said of us: "The New Orleans Minstrels gave two performances here Thursday and Friday nights; the first night they had a fair house, last night they turned the people away. The show is clean and refined, and one of the best that has been here in two years. The comedians and buck and wing dancers are good; their jokes and songs are new. Glover, the slack wire walker, is very clever, also Hi Henry Hunt, fire king. McDaniel, trick bicycle rider, is the best ever seen here. The remainder of the show, including the last act, pleased everyone. Messrs. Quine & Oakes have a good show and will do well here when ever they return."—Washington Post. George Horton, treasurer for Hunn & Eaton, writes.—The success during the first week of the Hunn & Eaton "Big Coon Carnival" compelled me to visit them while playing Barre, the vt. Mr. Harry Eaton, who manages the shows during the season, deserves praise. He is certainly an ideal man for that position. As his partner I certainly feel proud of him, for his success is my success. We have engagements covering the entire season to October in parks and promises are encouraging for next season. Our closing night in Barre, in the opera house, will be made doubly interesting with presentation of prizes won in the afternoon of that day at Capt. Duncan Ross' great athletic meet. Our musical director, Dick Weston, has introduced many new musical features since he joined us. We certainly appreciate The Freeman's many kindnesses during our efforts to establish a Vaudeville Exchange in Boston, but sorry to say that even in Boston there are those who do not like colored people and therefore, we are compelled to announce our second removal, but we are still in the business, and our office is now located at 89 Court street, room 11. Notes from P. G. Lowery's Band and Vandeville Co., with 4-Paw and Sells Bros Circus.—All is well around the city of white. The company had a pleasant time in Boston. Mr. Lowery received a new cornet while in Boston, the instrument was made especially for him by the Boston Musical Instrument Mfg. Co., being tested thoroughly by his teacher two weeks before. It is gold and silver plated. He being an agent for the 3-star cornet for a long time, the best workmen in the factory were employed to especially construct the cornet. It is made of heavy material to produce a voice-like tone. Prof. Wm. Day, of the Williams & Walker show, spent a week with us while in Boston, and made our visit a pleasant event. N. R. Walker arranged a reception for us at his home, 3 Lindal Place, Boston, and we enjoyed a nice time. We play at Buffalo July 13. Geo. V. Connors, Gen. Mgr. of side show, is highly pleased with us and is arranging for a double show the coming season. Mr. Lowery sends regards to Bailey, Simpson and all first-class soloists. Mrs. Ida Larkins sends special regards to John Larkins and Dora Patterson Bethel. Elmer Mason is our efficient headwaiter; Chas. Stewart the trusted and reliable head porter. Everybody is glad to see Mr. Fowler and Fred Johnson with us. Our route will always be in The Freeman. [Name] Mr. Johnson is one of the pioneers, if not the first, colored man to organize a company of colored entertainers for the road, dated back as far as 1868, when a brass band never was heard of traveling on the road with a combination that played in halls, theatres or opera houses in those days, and a minstrel company or combination of any kind never numbered over twelve or fifteen performers. In 1871 2 he opened the first dramatic agency office in Chicago, Ill., which was successful, and he opened the first THE GREAT MCKANLASS AND LIZZIE PERRY. The Premier Colored Artists. variety theatre also in Chicago in 73a on S. Clark street. In 1875-6 the Original Jubilee Singers were managed by him through the United States with great success. In 1880 he organized the Lew Johnson Plantation Minstrels in St Louis, Mo., playing all the principle cities in the Northwest. Such people as Mallory Bros., Sam Lucus, McCabe and Young, Wallace King, Billy Spead and many others have made their debut with Mr. Johnson. For the past three years he has been managing white companies through Canada and British Columbia. At present Mr Johnson is making his headquarters in Grand Forks, B. C., speculating in mining stock, and will remain there until early in the spring of 1902, when the Johnson & Green comedians will be organized and put on the road in grand style. From Ben Hunn Dear Sir:—I have played the Rialto at Memphis, Tenn., under the management of Mr. Lew Hall, four weeks, and I must say that in all of my experience in associating with a colored or white manager, this occasion is one of the THE GREAT MCKANLA The Premier The Great McKanlass is a wonderful violinist and singer, possessing that rare ability that is so foreign to most musicians. He successfully manages his own company without the aid of a white man in any connection. The Great McKanlass and his daughter, Miss Patti, recently enjoyed a much needed rest in Milwaukee, Wis., and vicinity. Miss Patti will remain with her father during the summer and then go to Boston to finish her vocal training. Mr. McKanlass has just signed a very flattering contract for the entire summer season at Coney Island Park, near Milwaukee, where they opened Sunday and played to 88,000 paid tickets, after- happiest. To my surprise, when I came to Memphis I found a great big stage filled out with everything for a big production and comfort for the performers, in conjunction with a great big theatre that will seat 2,000 people; perfectly ventilated so that it is cool as can be. The place is run on first-class order, skilfully managed by one of the best colored men in America, Mr. Hall, who does everything to make it pleasant for the people; in fact you can easily say that the Rialto is the first colored place of its kind in America, and conducted properly. I close on the 29 and leave direct for Boston to fill engagements with my own company, under the management of Hunn & Eaton. BEN HUNN." Letter From a Manager Letter From a Manager To Dramatic Dep't. The Freeman.— "I am in my fifth week of conducting one of the largest enterprises in the colored profession that I have ever undertaken, and it has occupied more of my time than I ever thought it would require to conduct this kind of business, although I have had about twenty years experience in this line. The outlook seems brilliant, and if things keep up as they have I will, in the course of time, give employment to more colored people than any man in America. Ben Hunn closes this week with unbounded success, and easily proved himself the greatest colored performer that ever played Memphis, and what pleased me more he wants to make it his home. J. Ed. Green has acquitted himself nicely as a producer of mirth and music. John Green, the unknown from the wild and wooly West, has captivated Memphis. Johnson and Reed own the town. Misses Lewis, Gilliam and Liverpool said to me: "Give us the South if it is like Memphis." Eddie Foy Elliott, my friend, says everybody is taking on over him. I have secured Birmingham for two weeks, and will take this company over for two weeks and replace this one with my "From Dixie to Manila" Co. I will keep all the people, I think, easily until the snow falls. Your valuable paper helped greatly to my success. Regards to my friends, especially Tom Logan. LEW HALL" Mgr.

Mr. Powell wishes us to correct the statement which occurred in this paper several weeks ago, in reference to him being a member of Dempsey & Englebreth's New York Minstrels for the coming season. He states that he will not be with the above named organization as he has already signed with Messrs. SS AND LIZZIE PERRY.

Miss Lizzie Perry is a Jewish Creole, a member of The Great McKanall company and a great favorite in Milwaukee, as well as other cities. She is an acknowledged great singer, mimic and impersonator; her character is versatile and shows careful study. Too much cannot be said of Miss Perry's ability as a star footlight entertainer. A widespread reputation will ever precede the tours of this stellar combination. Russo & Holland. Prof. A. A. Champion has returned to the city from Newark, N.

Lewis Williams, better known as "Des," is thinking of taking a company of Negro celebrities to Honolulu this fall.—J. HARRY JACKSON. CHICAGO.—The "Tennesseean Jubilee Singers," the greatest company of jubilee singers in existence, are now engaged in their summer work. The company contains more talent than is usually found in a half-dozen companies of this kind. It was not organized on friendship lines, but on those of merit. The following is the roster: Mrs. Julia Ware, Miss Florence Clark, soprans; George Coniey, Aaron Ware, tenors; Misses Belle Stone, Georgia Wilson, altos; William Dixon, baritone; Edward Hood, bass; Albert B. Johnson, pianist and accompanist. Don't you think they will get by? The company is now being booked by the Slayton Lyceum Bureau, and will be heard in the East this season. As a slight testimonial to the excellency of the company it has received more offers from outside managers than any other company of its kind. It is the ambition of the company to rescue jubilee singing from the mire of mediocrity, and place it on the high plane left vacant by the Donavin and the original Fiske companies. The rule in the organization of jubilee companies has been about two real singers with six or seven very, very rotten ones. Good people, owing to the cheap salaries of these "punk babies" have been forced to seek more profitable lines. The Tennesseeans will set the pace in the hope there will be other companies of its kind to follow. The more good companies there are the better it is for all parties concerned.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY'S SCHOL ARLY MATHEMATICIAN IS BANQUETTED BY THE ELITE OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL PROF. W. H. RICHARDS SCORES A HIT IN THE DUAL ROLE OF Sage and Raconteur--Speeches Scintil- lating With Wit and Wisdom--Prof. Cardozo's! Activity Appreciated. COMMENCEMENT SEASON CLOSING Brilliantly--Miss Lucy E. Moten's Normal Class--Kindergartners Graduate--Notes, Etc. Staff Correspondence. Washington, D. C., Special. — The banquet in honor of Prof. Kelly Miller was one of the most notable social functions in the history of the National Capital. In compliment to the high personal worth and public usefulness of the accomplished professor of mathematics at Howard University about one hundred and twenty-five of America's most potential factors in the world of letters, law, medicine, art, education, journalism, religion and other activities of life, assembled at the festal board in the spacious Odd Fellows' Hall, June 6. Prof. Miller, though a young man, is recognized everywhere as one of the best posted thinkers along social and economic lines that the country has to-day, and in candid analysis of the problems affecting the darker hued races of the world, he scarcely has a peer. Prof. Miller has written quite a number of able articles bearing upon the status of the Negro as a citizen; upon phases of education, higher and elementary; upon our political future, taking into account our peculiar environment; upon the status of the Philippines and the inhabitants thereof—and in fact the scholarly gentleman has practically covered the field of advanced thought in the discussion of the vital issues that interest and affect the people of both races in this generation. The dinner in question was, perhaps, more directly influenced by the Professor's recent admirable defense of the Negro before the National Academy of Social Science, where, in the presence of the ript philosophers and scientists of the country, he replied to and totally extinguished one Mr. Stetson, who would contend that the black race could hope for little in the stern competition of the times with the superior race at its side. Prof. Miller has also just closed a successful term as president of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, the history of which stands out in bold relief upon the intellectual horizon of the Afro-American people. Probably at no time in the annals of Washington's social life has such a splendid aggregation of intellect, culture and usefulness been brought together in this manner to honor an individual or to inspire a cause. The presence of about twenty-five ladies was an innovation, but the experiment was so pleasant that it is likely to be repeated at future affairs of this kind. *** The speeches were in good taste and were well prepared. The speakers were all experienced men of affairs, and their opinions carried the weight of authority. Prof. William H. Richards, the able and popular instructor in international law at Howard University, acted as toastmaster, and he acquitted himself with great credit. Always calm, dignified, yet affable, these qualities were particularly in evidence on this occasion, garnished by a delicate, but incisive hue, or that added a keener zest than the broad effects frequently essayed by similar officials at these functions. His choice bits of satire and short flights into oratory, grave and gay, exhibited the learned professor in the dual role of sage and raconteur that was quite a revelation to many friends who thought they had sounded all the depths and traced all the ramifications of his "gray matter." Prof. Richards, in stating the object of the gathering, paid a high tribute to the virtues of Prof. Kelly Miller, and briefly sketched his career from the days when he felt the first inspiration to rise from the humble sourroundings of his South Carolina home, to the position of honor and influence in the faculty of a powerful institution of learning. The introductions to the several speakers were pertinent and happily expressed, the witty remarks anent Rev. O. M. Waller and Prof. John T. Layton eliciting hearty applause. Prof. Frank L. Cardozo, Jr., spoke encouragingly and analytically of "Race Development." Prof. L. E. Moore eulogized "Howard University" and told how it leavened the whole lump of civilization in America and the islands of the sea, and how its liberal educational system bred in the Negro mind the wholesome public spirit that would THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER fit him for all the responsibilities of citizenship. Dr. John R. Francis recited the natural and cultivated advantages of the "City of Washington," and his picture of the parks, public buildings, schools, colleges, its utilities and climate was very attractive indeed. Rev. O. M. Waller depicted in his usual graphic style "the influence of the church upon the colored people," arguing that while the church was no longer the school house, the newspaper, this public hall and the common center of all the interests of a community that it once was, there is no decadence in its rightful influence upon the masses. It has simply found its natural level as one of the trinity of impulses necessary to well-rounded race development—the three being intellectualism, industrialism and Christianity. He admitted that much time was spent in building expensive churches, but proved that the spirit of ownership, bred by the possession of a general church, led finally to the ambition to become the owner of a home and the acquisition of the material wealth that gave influence and power to races and nations. Prof. L. M. Hershaw spoke gracefully and earnestly of the sweetening quality of "The Ladies" in the direction of all the affairs of home and public life. The regular program was concluded by Prof. Miller, who spoke upon "the outlook." Prof. Miller, after expressing his heartfelt thanks for the honors showered upon him, said that while he regarded the outlook for the Negro as far from re-assuring in its exterior aspects, the crucial tests through which the Negro was passing was hardening, refining and rendering more firm the character and purpose of the race. The result would be a newer generation, sturdier and more capable of maintaining its place in the struggle for existence than is true of the black people of this day. Race pride, high ideals, practical education, judicious exercise of the suffrage, moderation in temperament, and regard for the majesty of the law would go far to remove the prejudice now hindering our progress. Prof. Miller's language was classical, his illustrations apt, and the consensus of opinion is that he never stated a case more compactly nor with greater clearness. Led by Mrs. Robert Pelham, Jr., the guest of honor was given the Chautauqua salute upon rising. Brief addresses were made by former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, Dr. F. J. Shadd, Prof. G. W. Lightfoot, Rev. Walter H. Brooke, Prof. W. H. H. Hart and others. Prof. John T. Layton contributed a bass solo. Letters of regret were read by Mrs. Jesse Lawson from T. Thomas Fortune, editor of the New York Age, Prof. W. S. Scarborough, Prof. G. N. Grisham, J. F. Bundy, Mrs Sarah I. Fleetwood, Prof. R. R. Wright and Prof. W. E. B. DuBois. Benediction was pronounced by Rev. F. J. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian church. The credit for the conception and successful management of this magnificent affair belongs almost wholly to that energetic and rising young factor in the race development of the national capital, Prof. Frank L. Cardozo, Jr., who never relaxed his efforts until the lights were extinguished after the departure of the last guest. The banquet was a testimonial to his industry, talent for organization and correct taste in the selection of his guests and speakers. Prof. Miller's re-consecration to his life's work occurred under circumstances of the most auspicious character. --- The commencement season has been brilliant, and many graduates have been sent forth to form new spheres of influence in the elevation and enlightenment of the race, law, medicine, pedagogics, music, kindergarten, normal school, trained nurses—all these commencements have passed in review during the past month, and nothing remains but the high school's annual output, which takes place at the Columbia Theatre next Tuesday night. It will be an event. The exercises marking the close of the normal school year were held Friday evening last in the High School hall, M Street. The capacity of the auditorium was taxed to its utmost, and many prominent citizens were turned away unable to gain admission. It is strange indeed that one of the theatres or Metropolitan church was not secured for so important an affair and one in which all the people of the community are deeply interested. Whoever has charge of selecting the place next year should not repeat the blunder of the past two years. An adequate hall should be provided for the normal school graduates as well as for those of the other departments. It is to be hoped that the attention of Superintendent Montgomery will be called to this matter. the program was brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable. The fifty-nine graduates were gracefully grouped, and locked dainty in costumes of organdie and ribbons. Among the distinguished visitors present were Gen. H. V. Boynton, president of the Board of Education, who presented the diplomas in the absence of Commissioner MacFarland; Gen. George H. Harries, chairman of the committee on high and normal schools; Assistant Superintendents Mrs. I. G. Myers and W. S. Montgomery.

West, Mrs. J. R. Francis and J. F. Bundy, of the Board of Education, Principal Robert H. Terrell, of the high school, Maj. Arthur Brooks, and others. Miss Lucy E. Moten, the accomplished and thorough-going principal of the Normal school, conducted the exercises. This is the largest class yet graduated and Miss Moten had taken pains to make it the very best of the long line of classes turned out from her care. She is one of the most faithful and useful workers the race has today in educational circles and she has earned an international reputation as a skilled instructor. She has given much of her time and means toward the advancement of the race in many practical forms. The colored people here are proud of Miss Moten, and they have a right to be. Rev. F. J. Grimke delivered the invocation, and Prof. Lewis B. Moore, of Howard University, was introduced as the orator of the evening. His address was full of practical advice, and pointed out the duty the protective teachers owed to the public, to those that will look to them for guidance, and the duty they owed to themselves. The value of character was particularly emphasized. Miss Zita Dyson, the class valedictorian, in her fifteen-minute essay spoke in high terms of Miss Moten and her assistants. Miss Beatrice Warrick rendered a selection from Rubenstein. The class song was a creditable production, and was composed by Miss Bertha Washington. Gen. Harries' address was a strong urgency of the duty one individual owes another, to lend assistance along the pathway of life. Rev. Walter H. Brooks closed the exercises with a benediction. * * * The graduating exercises of the Phebe Hearst Kindergarten class drew a great audience to Metropolitan Church Tuesday evening. There were twelve graduates, the majority of them being prominent teachers in the public schools of the district. Mrs. Anna Evans Murray is the patron saint of this work, and through her efforts the kindergarten has been engrafted into the free educational system of the district's schools. The results are already sufficient to vindicate the wisdom of those who aided in bringing about the happy arrangement. Mrs. Murray presided at the commencement, and delivered an effective address in which she traced the development of the kindergarten idea, and pointed out its value in the solution of the social problems that vex mankind. In future the institution is to be known as The National Kindergarten Training School, with Mrs. Hearst as president of the board of managers, and Mrs. Murray secretary. Ladies wishing to enter next year's class should correspond with the latter, 984 S street Northwest. There is a strong demand for teachers throughout the country, and the offer of training is open to persons in all the states. The principal address on this occasion was delivered by Commissioner H. B. F. Macfarland. Miss Helen Nell, the instructor of the class gave a pleasing talk, and Commissioner J. W. Ross presented the diplomas. Miss Lola Johnson sang an appreciated number, and Mr. Joseph H. Douglass scored twice with well-received violin solos. --- Register J. W. Lyons has returned from a tour of the South. He addressed several educational institutions, notably Prof. Councill's school at Normal Ala. Recorder Cheatham has filed his bond for four more years of service as recorder of deeds. Henry Y.

It would be a winner Prof. W. Bruce Evans, one of the most efficient instructors and a master of the industrial idea, has been chosen as principal of the new Manual Training School, which will be opened in September. The selection is a popular one, and Prof. Evans will win new laurels in the larger field that has come to him. He is a prominent member of the Pen and Pencil Club.

The annual drill of the High School Cadets was a fine affair. Upwards of 10,000 people witnessed the contest from the grand stand and bleachers of the American League Park. Company C was the victor, led by Capt Robert N. Mattingly. All did well. Principal Terrell and Drillmaster Brooks have been warmly praised for the interest and zeal displayed in bringing the boys up to so high a standard. The production of "The Pirates of Penzance" has been abandoned for the time being, on account of the death of the daughter of Director J. Henry Lewis. Mr. Gillaume Bell is now choirmaster at the Second Baptist church. He is a basso of great power. Rev. Daniel G. Hill is giving complete satisfaction as pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church.

MARTH tells your entire life-past, present and future—in the DEAD TRANCE, the power of any two mediums you ever meet, the power of your mother all your family, their ages and description, the name and business of your future husband, the name of your next, if you are to have one, the name of the young man who now calls on you, the name of your wife, the name of your year of marriage—how many children you have or will have—whether you are married or single; whether your present sweetheart will have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. ALL YOUR FUTURE will be told in an honest, clear, plain manner and in a way that will make you know of their husbands and children, young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts or in-sended husbands. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you present your consulting. All religious serpents will consult you. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, tells you what the woman you love is or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a medium, but from the lack of discrimination that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not everyone who placards himself or herself as a Medium that can surrender to such a conclusion or any enquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is simply that these advisers do not take the trend and spread their thoughts for a moment with acquiring the art of phrenology and kindred branches that will have a tendency to make the pathway to a road of the business clear and devoid obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come for advice—in full knowledge, as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what endeavor so as to hear them. The Medium secret out of a person by "pumping," in no few cases, is the art used by many unprincipiated Mediums. The medium is, a matter of impossibility to most of them. And yet this can be done, and by coaxing MRS. MARTH this seeming mystery becomes This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college students. Although there are infringers in our midst with "oily tongues," perhaps, the gates of wisdom have not been closed.

BE NOT DECEIVED® ‘| To THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, : “OZONO.” en F— > We gs om | 4 (Cee * Loc > WG WM : VAG — ANT rN A. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and Ay bait-stcaighteners now on the market, an Enowing to certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple we wish to make a straight-forward, AN Honest, statement to tho colored, race. through this. great paper. "In FN the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate f\\ circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purehase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and A Tack with marked success. C After a thorough test by the colored people of (\\ that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every fi member of the colored race, because tley found it to cause the hair to grow f\N iong and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. .Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always & rt. number of people who imitate and make eapital out of the merits of other AWN people’s goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are ASS worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great ‘damage to the hair f\ and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To EW these let us sound a warning—be careful what you useon your hair, Do not f\\ ve deceived by flaring advertisements and big words, Buy the King of all AW Hair Tonics nN OZONDO, AWN which is sold with an iron-clad gnarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or AW\ We will forfeit $50.00, Now, we ask you a plain question—would we abso- AS iutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, AN if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for {W\ several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one a Who lias used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. AN 2000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every. purchaser \ recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics.’ Ozono will positively AAW take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Trouble- AN some Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and’ straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying sealp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, A and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair AN irom falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, aking the AW hair long and soft. Ay __ Now, right here, let us make a statement, Many firms are advertisin ANN remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell A\ vou to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the ANN lite of the hair, and canse it to drop out. Ozono straighten without any. AWN ouiside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on “A\ the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application.

SWAMP ANGEL ON THE WING SWAMP ANGEL ON THE WING "Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold, chisel and complete a character." Girls, learn to cultivate your voices. A harsh, rough voice is unmusical and grating to the refined, sensitive ear. "So many people judge the size and character of the world by their own immediate circle of acquaintances." Life is much reduced in simplicity when we resolve to live one day at a time, and to make that day blessed to others. The cares and the vexations and the troubles of life are allayed or banished under the spell of this central purpose. "There is nothing in [the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage." "Loving kindness!is greater than laws and the charities of lite are greater than all ceremonies." "Thorough appreciation of a good woman on the part of a young man is one of the strongest recommendations to her favor." A story is going the rounds to the effect that a married lady had a birth day anniversary a few days since, upon which her husband presented her with a pretty piano lamp. He was much flattered when she told him she intended to give it his name, until he asked her reasons for so peculiar a proceeding. "Well," said she, "you know, dear it has a good deal of brass about it, it is handsome to look at, requires a good deal of attention, is not remarkably brilliant, is sometimes unsteady on its legs, liable to explode when only half full, flares up occasionally, it is always out at bed time and is bound to smoke." "Some people talks so smoothly and fluently that they almost seem to believe what they say themselves." TELLING the naked truth, meaning a precise statement of facts, is an allusion to the fable that Truth and Falsehood once went bathing and that Falsehood stole a march on her companion and dressed herself in truths, garments, whereupon, Truth, unwilling to appear in the garb of Falsehood, went naked. + NOVELS.—The book you cried over before you went to bed last night was a novel, and the book you laid down before coming to church was a novel, and ten out of ten books you take away on your vacation with you will be novels. But not all novels are ennobling; not many are. Perhaps 99 out of 100 are bafalel, an outrage on decency and common sense. Five Hundred Dollars Will be Given For any case of rheumatism which cannot be cured by Dr. Drummond's Lightning Remedies.
