NEGRO CONFERENCE Tuskegee Thronged By Farmers and Workers Yesterday and To-day. Still Believes Definite Results Outweigh Noblest Eloquence—When Race Gets Bankbook Its Troubles Will Cease—Resolutions and Workers' Meeting. TUSKEGEE, Ala., Feb. 23, 1905.—The fourteenth annual session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference began yesterday at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Hundreds of farmers and their wives assembled in the Gymnasium of the Collis P. Huntington Memorial Building at ten o'clock. These conferences grew out of an idea conceived some time ago to call the colored farmers of the South together in annual session for conference as to how their moral, material, and civic condition might be improved. Representatives are present to-day from most of the Southern States, from as far West as Texas and from as far East as South Carolina. Principal Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, who presides at all these sessions, in his opening address yesterday morning said: "At the opening of this the fourteenth annual session of the Turkegue Negra Conference, we can point to many evidences of real progress as a result of these annual gatherings. Calmness and confidence of a race as well as in that of an individual. The work accomplished by this organization with its numerous ramifications should continue us to the policy for the race to pursue is to continue the course of Seeking quietly, patiently a configuration aimed at the essentials of life, and to ensure that the people solve the problems inspired by praise or this course of being." "Often little success in given direction will often go farther in the solution of perplexing problems than all the orations and glittering generalities that can be summoned to plead our cause. In the last analysis, the world judges a race by its ability to show definite results of progress, by its ability to achieve the highest usefulness. With such evidences of progress always present, no unawardable burden is placed upon us. We cannot achieve without such evidence no amount of artificial stimulation can push a people permanently forward. Material possessions should not be sought as an end but as a means to help us forward toward high moral and religious living. When a race owns land and houses and has a bank account, these possessions indicate that that race has learned to make sacrifices to do without to day that it may possess morrow has learned to shear sheep and come the owner of a piece of property and a taxpayer in his community, as a rule there comes to him added self and a belief in confidence from his neighbor. The increased amount of property which we are holding and paying taxes upon us shows that we are not becoming this courage of disdainment as a race, but that we have confidence in ourselves and the future. No community is safe when there is moral or religious ignorance in our farmers cannot be treated with care norance should be insisted on. No municipality should be contented with its possessions a first class, comfortable schoolhouse, a school term lasting at least seven months, with a first class teacher . . . 2. To be certain elements of progress to fundamental that are cannot be from constant attention to them, viz. being land, discarding one room cabbs diversifying crops, giving increased attention to stock, poultry, and fruit raising, avoiding crop mortgages and useless expenditures and starting bank accounts 4. While representatives of the race should be educated in industrial schools, colleges and professional institutions, we must remember that it is the public schools on which the masses are dependent. We believe, also, that our young people should be taught the fundamental industries trades agriculture, and household economy, regardless of the character of their mental training. While the schools in the cities and larger towns are reasonably good, the in the country are generally poor, being without schoolhouses or well trained teachers, are taught four or five months in the year, receiving in many cases a sum per capita pathetically inadequate 5. To remedy this we must keep in close The New York Age. touch with their school officers, pay the assessed poll taxes, build school houses, and lengthen the school terms. 6. A united effort should be made to reduce the number of idlers and vagrants, especially the poor, and make more reliable. The moral and religious standards must be kept high and inflexible by putting a premium on right living and condaining wrong living: the constant cultivation of pride of race is an element which we should not overlook in the training of our children. We must ensure that our cooperation, mutual forbearance and hard work will bring us success. The second day's session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference is being held in the assembly room of Frederick Douglass Hall this morning. This is what is known as the Workers' Conference, and is composed of prominent educators of both races and people interested in the general cause of Negro education. Many prominent educators, journalists and ministers were present. The general subject for discussion at the Workers' Conference is "The Negro Common School." Tarrytown.

One Handicap of Being a "Problem." One of the severest penalties which the Afro American people pay for being a "problem" is the narrowness of interests which continual dwelling on one subject produces. The whole talent of the race is bled with the "problem." In our race journalism, for example, the stock sub-journal of editorial discussion is the crimes which the South commits upon our people. The monotonous changes of this theme are rung in all of our papers, week after week, year after year. As "villains" in our philippics Vardman and Tillman, displeasant nobody whom we should glially ignore, figure inevitably. We are weary of the subject, in itself repugnant, but what are we to do? So ubiquitous and menacing are the attacks upon us that we must front them increasingly. But is it not possible that the fact that we have so many men of average ability, of respectable mediocrity, and so few of distinction, is due to the entire employment of our minds upon this one disgusting topic? President Roonevelt's Sermon on the Race Problem. If Theodore Roosevelt had taken to the ministry instead of to politics he might have been a bishop of the church instead of President of the United States. As a lay preacher in high place he has made a reputation enjoyed by none of his predecessors in the Presidential office. He appears to have three Biblical texts, from one of which he is variably preaches to his fellow citizens on matters not immediately connected with the Presidential office. They are: (1) Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. (2) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. (3) Love thy neighbor as yourself. In his sermon on the race problem, at the Lincoln dinner of the Republican Club, in New York, February 13, President Roosevelt used all of these texts to enforce the position he has taken from the beginning and maintained with dignity while his opponents howled denunciations at him and threatened to bury him under a mountain of ballots at the November elections. The address was timely in the broadest sense. It covered all of the questions affecting Afro American citizenship in such a way as to be an admonition as well as exhortation to all the people and on that account was received with auspicion by the Southern newspapers, which believe that this is a white man's country instead of the country of all the citizens thereof, and with equal reserve if not auspicion by a majority of Northern newspapers, which have by their managers, as we have been reliably informed, promised Clark Howell and the Southern Press Association to leave the race question alone for the white South to solve. By taking a hand in the solution President Roosevelt upsets the calculations of both the Southern and Northern editors a party to this infamous caboot. But no conspiracy of silence on the wrongs that permeate Southern legislation against Afro American citizens can prevail here in our democracy any more than in Russia in a despicable autocracy dominated by a Grand Ducal cabal. The eternal light of truth has in all times been power, full enough to wither such conspicuaries. A man filled with the divine power of righteousness will always appear at the psychological moment to confound the prophecy of evil. That President Roosevelt has done much by word and act to neutralize the hanele influence of race hate and prescription, which the white South has sown broadcast over the land during the past thirty years, is the highest attribute we can pay him. He has been a prophet of justice for all men under the law and of equal opportunity in the race of life for all men His Lincoln Day sermon but enlarges upon and emphasizes the high duty of citizenship and the sacred obligations of manhood, which have made and must continue to make the beauty, the strength and the glory of the American Republic. Competition and Other Things. The New York Times, not satisfied with running its business so that a profit may be made upon its capital, shows a disposition to dabble in if not to run the business affairs of The Age. The Times is worried because The Aunt sells advertising space to hair straighteners and fortune tellers. Besides not being of any concern of the Times, there is nothing immoral, illegal or libellous in that character of advertising, and so long as these elements are absent in it we will accept such advertising. If people want to get their hair straightened and their fortunes told let them do it. The weakness of black folk in this matter of hair and face culture is on a par with that of white folk, who are forever trying to crimp, or color a different shade their hair and to rid themselves of freckles and other dernie bleemles; while if fortune tellers depended upon the patronage of black folk alone they would starve to death. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle showed not long ago in a broadside that the white folk of that city in large numbers are patrons of fortune tellers, and that is true of them all over this country and Europe. It is a fair statement that the white race is just as superstitious and credulous as the black race, now and in all the past, and in all countries, and that they spend more money on fortune tellers and tonnors and dermatologists than do the black and yellow races. The New York Times is advised to attend to its own business and editorial affairs as the managers of Tink New York Aur stand in no need of its important interference. Was Low Walker a Phragmita? The death of Major General Low Walker, the author of "Bien Hur," at his home in Crawfordville, Ind., removes one of the most picturesque figures in the country, in war and in literature. His reputation as a soldier will remain as a part of the history of the war to save the Union; what time will do with his literary reputation remains to be seen. That he was a plagiarist has not been charged against him, but we have believed, and still believe, that the subtler unseen scene in "The Sun God" was appropriated by Bulwer-Lytton's "Last Days of Pompell" and the charitie scene in "Bien Hur" from Eber's "Isle." Take these two scenes out of Wallace's famous books and there will remain fittio of strength in either of them. What constitutes plagiarism has been a debated question among, literary men since that form of plarity was first adopted as a short road to fame by men of small brain and unscrupulous puls, and there have been many such; perhaps we shall always have them; it is none the less the business of those who have originality to expose such thefts. It is said that General Wallace wrote with a great deal of difficulty. His ideas did not flow off his pen spontaneously, but this was also true of others, notably Honore de Balzac and Alexander Pope, but unlike these men, he never became a master of the ploiding workman, with little of the dash and perfect finish of the master literary genius, such as Alfred Tennyson and Washington Irving, is upon all that he wrote. That General Wallace acted a brave and notable part in the history of the republic, even if his literary work should be not taken into account, may be conceded. The symposium on the reduction of Southern representation which appeared recently in THE AGE has been reprinted in pamphlet form and will be widely distributed. The pamphlet includes besides the symposium three editorials from Terry AGE on this subject; the full text of the three War Amendments; an apposite quotation from Blaine's "Twenty Years in Congress" illuminating Lincoln's position regarding Negro suffrage; and a pertinent extract from Mr. Blaine's closing article in the famous symposium in the North American Review in 1879. The Richmond News Leader speaks of the Editor of THE AGE, as a "Negro editor." When a Southern white man speaks that way he means an Afro-American who strife up strife. The term may safely be applied to us if agitation against wrongs upon fundamental rights, such as exist in every Southern State, lead to strife, ultimately, although peaceable adjustment of such wrongs is and has been the aim of all agitators from the Gracht to William Lloyd Garrison. John Sharp Williams, the Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, is opposed to Government ownership of railroads because it would lead to the smashing of separate car laws. This is about the most dis-reputable cause of opposition that could be entertained. The principle of Government ownership of public utilities is fundamentally wrong and perilous. The Washington correspondent of the New York World says: "A House committee to day ordered a favorable report on the bill to return to the Southern States the Confederate battle flags." Why not Having permitted the nullification of the Fifteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, the fruits of victory in the Civil War, why should not the North surrender also the vain symbols of that victory? That the New York Tribune could call Mrs. Mary Church Terrell "the female Booker Washington" shows how little is known about us, even among our friends. ARE JIM-CROW CARS ILLEGAL? Supreme Court Says a State Cannot Regulate Inter-State Commerce. In the Editor of the New York Age. In the New York Herald of Jan. 10 appaired a news note of a decision rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States, on that date which, it seems to be by mind, might apply to the "Jim Crow car" legislation enacted by so many of the Southern States. The case referred to was that of the Central of Georgia Railway Company vs. Murphy, in which the Georgia law making the initial carrier liable in case of damage to freight shipments, even though it occurred outside the State, was declared unlawful, amounting to $44, occurred to a carriage of grapes shipped from Barnstable, Ga., to Omaha, Neb., by Murphy, who brought suit under the Georgia law posited the The opinion was delivered by Justice Peckham, in the course of which he said: "The power to regulate the relative rights of interstate commerce operations within the limits of the State cannot extend so far as to regulate interstate commerce. The police power of the State does not give the right to violate the rights of interstate commerce. Being of the opinion that the statute in question, when applied to an interstate shipment, is a regulation of interstate commerce, we must hold the statute, so far as the shipment is shipments, to be void on that account." Now, if Georgia, or any other Southern State, does not possess the power "to regulate interstate commerce," so far as freight is concerned, can such State exert its power to regulate interstate commerce? Does it not seem that this question should be tested by some legal method, when a passenger from without the State is deprived, of the accommodation for which he has paid and forced into a "lim Crow car?"

Bruce Strange to say, the first industrial school for colored youth, in this country, happens in the world, was established in Tennessine in 1835. France Wright, a woman famous in her day, was the founder. The school's purpose was to train in all the industrial trades of women. When they were educated, their own livelihood they were to be freed and given a chance to become useful citizens. This remarkable woman forewax with conviction the evil ways into which he would population would be thrown up against a world to be a livelihood. She evidently forewax also that slavery was not destined to continue as a permanent institution in this land. Her sense of right and justice, her benevolence, led her into this effort, and she was able to make the failure was due to the bad management of those who were directly in charge. Had her plan succeeded, the reward would have been rich, for the inheritance of two generations of systematic moral and Indian education would have rested on the descendants of those who came under her benign influence. Fifty years passed before similar work was undertaken: before Hampton and afterwards Tuskegee sprang into existence and prospered in the work of industrial schools. In the schools, their influence for schools wide-sided, their influence for schools almost incalculable, and the fundamental principles upon which they are deeply rooted in the American mind. To train young men and young women to lead sober, moral, useful lives is to solve the problems where people continuously work hard and live rightly. The chief difficulty is to reach all of those who need training. In a vast agrilultural districts people are necessarily so widely scattered that very much time and energy must be spent for the most part, the rural inhabitant of the Southland is left to his own devices or is dependent upon the casual individual help that must be brought to his door. Realizing these conditions and imbibing them with the many images their graduates have carried to the pupils in the isolated communities of the South. It would be out of reason to attempt within the compass of a limited article a description of any number of schools of this character, but I do wish to include the schools, which are each in its own way unique. In an obscure hambret in Georgia there is a school of school home-preserved by a bit of desertion incarnated in a little town called Bellevue. It is as tate as her work. There in a kind of solitude she catches the wafs and the neglected ones about her. She makes her way to the school, that surroundings have incarved and teaches the "New Way" of life into which Christ would lead us all. Children who can find entrance, perhaps, nowhere else are welcome. In an unusual way she takes three children as her own way. By her garden and her simple industrial pursuits, by regularity and intelligent methods, she helps her self-dependent workers. Well does she know the power of good habits early in stillt to shape character and keep it wonderful power of her own personality, the force of her gentle spirit, the goodness of her own life, the most benignant influence of all. Stage how gentleness and driving force, sometimes weaken. I recall another brave splendid who went out ten years ago from one of the larger southern schools to battle for the help of a friend. She was a brave and hard-hitting the preparation for her life work. But the soul that possessed her, the burning desire to raise her people even a little higher than she found them, to teach her people, to teach a diviner thing than schools can teach. Unarmeded by either doubts or fears, she forges ahead over every difficulty, and uncounted young people imbibe her life work to humanity. Do you think that meets and bounds you can curcumcribe a life like that? I think not. Let her influence be compared to the waves of the sea, which will never forever. If fame and the best of life's gifts finally come to this simple, true-neared young woman, self-alignement, unmeasured devotion to the cause of to, will have been her keys to success. Then I have seen a school presided over by a wap of a woman whose strength is far more spiritual than physical, such a woman is set for entrance here, no educational qualification is required. Only the presence of those who wish to learn is necessary. Happening in on one occasion I was taught to read, write and count, to sew, mend, clean house, hang their hats in orderly rows, make sweets and cotton, and to praise the Lord the spirit of meekness and holiness. They are made over anew, born again, with widened horizons of hope and usefulness. They are women of light school for the older people, who are taught to be generous, thoughtful and helpful. Nor does she rest on the Sabbath, for church service on the afternoon, for the afternoon. Besides all this heroes and heart are ever open to those who seek her advice or add. This work on an Alabama plantation is transforming a woman and is the center of ever increasing influence. Whether these three women are philanthropists or mere school teachers, I know not. Their schools are but types of many, many others, organized in the same spirit as the schools in the influence type of school, probably in only the South. The wealth of Northern municipalities, with their extensive provisions for all of the people, schools, libraries, hospitals, dispensaries, orphanages, and soon all凹tum, seems fairly common. But such signal efforts to self help mark the progress of the Afro-American in the South and indicate the noble spirit actuating those who have them selves come under the uplifting and hardworking heads of the South, Atlanta and Flak, Hawaii and Tunkegue may take the credit for this fine spirit which is rapidly growing and taking deep hold upon their graduates. As long as the schools can engender a long musk they be regarded as the most important part of the development of the Afro-American. Are there, then, no desolate places in the Southland? Also? there are many, inhabited by a people with no moral balsam, lives with no ethical problems on earth yet, who, for very want of knowledge and contact, have become self-sufficient a sufficient, strangely deficient, who are wielding their that is felt and be met, confounding and confounding the wise and the lovers of humanity, turning their strength into weakness, their philosophy into follaboration. Josephine, Miss, Feb. 18, 1905. THERE IS STRENGTH IN FINANCIAL COMBINATION An Addressee delivered at the Professional and Biblical Men's Conference of Lincoln's Birthday at St. James Presbyterian Church, New York City, on February 18, 1900. It was indeed a happy thought that prompted C. Leroy Butler to arrange this day's meeting. Nothing could have been more logical or other proper way to have confidence in us if we do not have that great stephan who made Negro manhood and progress possible than that we should come together here in his honor, to discuss franly ourselves the ways to meet needs of the Negro race since his death. player hires another white boy the next day. Can we afford to reason in this manner? Can we logically expect other people to have confidence in us if we do not have it in ourselves? Next to lack of race confidence as a retarding force in our advancement is that horrible mischappe monster, cauvy and unpleasant to meet needs of that spirit, "if I can't, you can't." That the race has made progress in conceded by its bitterest enemies. That its progress since its birth a little over forty years ago has been most rapid, and that the race has either since its death or the world's history is claimed by some of its friends. To every thought, full member of the race the question as to whether or not we have made the greatest part of our progress since our emassment, and if that way is any of our present, think that we who fall-minded Afro-Americans will at least admit one to the other than we have made nothing like the progress that we should have made. We will not be so far in order to our ourselves for this lack of greater progress than with that now worn-out excuse, that we have been free only a short time. The day for that excuse to be effective, even to secure us sympathy in the past. After the first time to win, results. Only by results are men and races measured today. Excuses for not succeeding, however good they are, will not gain for a man or a race wealth or even respect. Forty years in 20th century childbirth and the years in 21st century childbirth. For in stance, it took generations to establish the reliability of the townle table. Today if we desire to form a life insurance company, we can start with the townle table. It is not therefore a more important part of the world's which favorable conditions our company should accomplish almost as much in 40 years as the first insurance company did in 250 years! They were compiled to wait until generations of people actually did their best, but could not post the order de-limited that the insurance idea was even practical. Numerous examples similar to this could be cited to prove my contention. During our entire freedom we have been constantly unground with thousands of the little-to-the-most needed. Many are the causes which have contributed to our failure to make greater achievements. I will endeavor to outline a few which I consider cardinal. I think it is true, and I measure my words when I say it, that the most priveous fault of the race is lack of confidence in our lush mess and professional men. Before we can make material progress this evil must be remedied. That the race has made some, perhaps, many, failures is admitted and is only natural. But let me tell you this, for every failure Negro builies an errorless has encountered. Caucasian commercial effort has met ten thousand. Have these many failures shaken Caucasian confidence in Caucasian business undertakings? If you think we, a simple review of some of the rights of any other and prosperous corporation made possible by the subscriptions to the capital stick by the general public, will show you your error. I do not contend that these failures do not lead to make the investor cautious. Such and to make and such it rightly should be. If the position that it is to be made from the people to-day by selling stock in the have a practical proposition with me, and virtue in it. When such is the same, no abundance of Caucasian capital is always to be bad. If a Negro corporation can offer its people such a proposition, should Negro capital be wanting? How often do we see, because of this lack of race confidence, a competent Afro-American lawyer or doctor hardly able to race. How any Afro-American man or woman can say, with a clear conscience, "I'll have nothing to do with Negro business or professional men. I am at a loss to tell you how to do that, even hear them bragging that their doctor is white, their lawyer is white. If you take them to task they are apt to say, to you, "I'll never have another," or to cheat me, I'll have no more of them," or "I had a colored doctor but he didn't know his business, my little girl nearly died under him, I never have another," or to reason when it comes to employing Afro-American help. He says to himself, "I hired John, a colored boy, to work in my office. John stole, I discharged him. I will never have another, colored boys steal." He blares James, a white boy, James steals. But the em WOWI The Classics and History in Tennessee. From the Jackson Gram of Christian Ins. In every epoch of the world's history, some great men have been produced Whether it was the environments with which they were surrounded, or the superior gentius with which they were endowed, they have come forth just the same. They give up upon the drama of time and have certainly performed well the first part. These good men have left a lasting imprint upon the saids of time, with it has subservited as a guiding star among the gaiary of the town to illuminate the path of the great man and to help us to stand on Christian civilization. Certainly every country from the dispersion of the human family in Bael, has been proud of her great men. This allegation finds verifiable that even the true襟怀 of the people, in antiquity, Romeo, or her Cыese, her Clera, the orator who exposed the nefarious plans of Cataline to pillage and burn the Roman Senate; her Lily, Mark Anthony et clerks, Greece, her demons, and the other people have gone into the stone, Charles Parot, Germany her Martine Luther and Blamarch; England her Wesleyan family, Adam Clark, Whitfield, John Bunyan, Queen Victoria, her Hugh Price Hughes, and a host of other renowned thinkers.

Judge M. W. Gibbs Chairman of In-augural Committee. Special Corps of the New York Army LITTLE Rock, Ark., Feb. 17.-Judge M. W.

Daniel Murray with the appointment as chairman of the inaugural committee from Arkansas. The judge has selected C. B.

The Arkansas delegation is expected to be quite large, and the State's very prominent citizenz will take part in the inaugural festivities. player hires another white boy the next day. Can we afford to reason in this manner, of can we logically expect other races to play in us in if we do not have it in ourselves? Next to lack of race confidence as a retarding force in our advancement is that horrible mis-shapen monster, envy, anger, and disgust of that attitude. "If I can't, you shan't." This is recognized as the size of financial combination. It has been learned that the maximum. "In union there is strength," obtains in business as in war. Only by a combination of brain and capital could the gigglest percentage of day by day supply be successfully carried out. Combination enables men of comparatively small means to so invest their money that greater prod's can be made than if they were compelled to conduct only such operations as their individual capital would perform. Here is the example of which he does. A: In a offered plot of ground, say on Washington Heights, for $500,000. It requires $250,000 in cash to secure control of the tract. He figures the proposition out. He concludes that if he could get hold of the property he could cut it up and read it in 100,000. He has to pay the $250,000. He only has $50,000 cash himself. Does he give up in despair because of his inadequate means? No, he goes out among his friends and acquaintances and puts the proposition to them. One has $25,000, another $10,000 and so on. Among them they have the new necessary $250,000. They are the most parccle. They clear up in time in small parccle. They clear up in profits, as predicted by the promoter, $250,000. The man who had $50,000 makes $50,000. The man who had $25,000 makes $25,000, another $10,000 and so on. You can readily see that cash of the profits would be as good as possible. And it not been for the financial combination. What is there to prevent any ten men in this audience who have among themselves $9,000 in sums ranging from $250 to $1,000 from following the same principle and securing an equity in some good paying that. If the Canadian race with the American race does not meet the need of musical combination, should not our race also feel it, when numbers no individual for ones in the sense of the word to day? If the Afro American people of this country or even girls city would combine their mates, many a probity would be forthwitted. We should be forthwitted solved. The New York World says that there are $60,000 Afro-Americans in this city. What a formidable force they would exert by financial combination, backed up with race confidence and purged of envy. Nothing is more practical, nothing is more simple, nothing beets but to say that it will and then do it. How long do you, think prejudice against the Negro, a tenant will exist in New York City if the Afro American Realty Company receives the proper support from its people? It is the unfamiliar to them of the Negro, the same to whomwe be pleased. If the Afro American Realty Company owned a hundred flat houses in a hundred different blocks, and it can own them it properly supported, would Negro colonizations be possible in the face of the fact that the Negro would be one hundred flat houses in the face of them in fifteen hundred families, were catering to our people? Capitalized for $800,000 under the laws of the State of New York, this company came to its people with a proposition entirely practical, meritorious and fair. It has been in business for 10 years and controls 10 others under five year leases. Its handsomely furnished offices are located in the lower Broadway real estate district. All these things were accomplished by the company's promoters and controls, and the company is fed to the public. This corporation has been in existence since June 15, 1904. It has disposed of about $135,000 worth of its capital stock. That the entire $800,000 was not long ago I attribute to lack of will, and to lack of faith of "If I can, you shall," and to our lack of experience in financial combination. If, when this day's meetings shall be over, and we have departed to our respective homes, we carry with us the goodwill we have advanced to you today and we solve from our experience to being our helper, to try to remedy our faults, as the day's discussion shall have revealed them, to day, even though it the Sunday, could not have been better spent.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE'S TRIUMPH. Its Principal and Glee Club Greatly Please Missouri General Assembly Please Missouri General Assembly, JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Feb. 18.—The high estimation in which Dr. B. F. Allen, principal of Lincoln Institute, is held as a gentleman, scholar and educator is shown by the fact that he was invited by the Forty thirth General Assembly of Missouri to accept a prominent place on its program for Lincoln Day. He accepted, and delivered an address on "Lincoln the Enamalpeter" with so much process that the Asembya passed resolutions thanking him and asking permission to publish his work and to be Democrat for the benefit of the public. Resolutions were passed in the General Assembly a few days since requesting a repetition of the convert recently given before it by the students of Lincoln Hall. The resolution was given green consent. Such recognition of the institute's work, and the fact that the Glee Club and other students of the institution, by invitation turned the mosquito Lincoln Day, together with other signal markers, courtney and screen, into a mosquito abatement that will be appreciated by all friends of education and progress.

PIANO PLAYING SELF-TAUGHT BY THEODORE DRURY DO YOU WISH TO PLAY THE PIANO? Do you want to better yourself? It is not too late to begin. How often you have said, when in company, "If I could only play I wouldn't have to be asked but once." Here is your chance; this book will teach you to play. Most of our singers are sadly in need of a musical education. You cannot be a fine singer unless being a musician. If you cannot afford to take music lessons this book will help you write with that end in view. This book differs widely from other books of the same or a similar title. Instead of beginning with several huge pages of description, giving in a lump the whole notes, the halves, the quarters, etc., the book scans the rest where the white key for middle C is, then the one for F. Within five minutes you will be playing and will be steps the player is led on and on till simple melodies become discernible. The plan is not only new, but it also makes the start. Another advantage is the much shorter time it takes. ANYBODY CAN LEARN TO PLAY BY THIS SIMPLE AND EASY on receipt of $1.00.
