The Negro Young People's Christian aud Educational Congress, which is a union of all religious denominations and agencies doing religious and education al work among our people, is perhaps the biggest movement ever inaugurated among our people through-out the United States, and is a sentiment maker for the bright side of our race life. Its field and scope is greater than that of any other race organization in our history. The congress held in Atlanta four years ago eclipsed anything held among our people prior to that time. The Atlanta Constitution, perhaps the leading paper in the South, said of the congress: "The character of the crowd attending this congress has been most favorably commented upon on both sides. The verdict of Atlanta may be said to be unanimous." The Young People's Congress has made an impression upon this city in the heart of the south, which cannot but be of great value in aiding the great work these people have in hand." The chief of police of Atlanta, said: "There is always the possibility of disorder where there are large gatherings among the best class of white people, but with 5000 people in the city for a week there has not been a single case calling for SIX.

The next congress will be held in Washington, D.C., and is to be a greater meeting than the one held in Atlanta. There is great interest being manifested in the congress all over the country. Every denomination and agency is united and thoroughly interested At a recent meeting with the local executive committee and representatives of the general movement in Washington, it was decided to postpone the congress from July 3-8, the original date, to July 31-August 5. This will give the thousands of school teachers all over the country a chance to attend the congress, as teachers' institutes will be over, and they will be at liberty to visit the congress at Washington, during their vacation period, when it is most convenient to travel. We have received hundreds of letters from preachers desiring also that the congress be postponed, saying that associations, conventions, councils, conferences, etc., are to be held during the months of June and July, and that preachers and other Christian workers can more easily leave home at the time to which the congress has been postponed.

Vernon Tells of the Success of the Institution The Commencement Program. The Western University is preparing for its annual closing exercises. This has been the most successful year in the history of the institution. The capacity of the school has been doubled by reason of the erection of a large dormitory ward hall in which are domiciled the young women and girls of the institution. There has been a need for this additional accommodation for several years, but efforts to secure the same were unavailing until the coming to this district of Bishop Abraham Grant, who is president of the trustee board. He has exerted his influence for the progress and prosperity of the institution to a greater degree than any bishop who before his time was in charge of the work. During the last session of the legislature a large appropriation was made for the erection of the trades' building. This building has been completed and was dedicated with appropriate ceremonies on January 24th; at which time Gov. Hoch, Hon. W. R. Stubbs, Hon. D. W. Mulvane and other prominent gentlemen were present and delivered addresses. In this building are to be found the trades and also a splendid auditorium in which the annual commencement exercises will be held this year. President W. T. Vernon indiscussing the institution says: "This has been the most satisfactory B. Kuppenheimer Copyright 1906 B. Kuppenhamer & Co. Chicago You have the best made.

"I have been in charge of the work here for ten years and have seen the work grow from one teacher and slx students to 14 teachers and 200 students. We are now conducting courses in Bible training for ministers and classical, normal and sub-normal courses in which departments we prepare teachers for the public schools. "The State Industrial department is the feature of our school work. We have made efforts to pattern after Hampton and Tuskegee ideas. "Our aim has been to prepare our youth for useful and efficient service by reason of their competency and proficiency in the use of tools and handicraft. "In this age of commercialism, industrialism is playing a most prominent part. The great masses of our people must find their way to an independent livelihood through the trades, mechanical arts and agriculture. "The day of the apprentice is none. The shop wants a man prepared rather than a man who there desires to prepare himself. The industrial school has a mission. This mission must be fulfilled if we are to save our youth.

LINCOLN PUBLIC SCHOOL. Graduating Exercises at Second Baptist Church, Fayette, May 18, 1900-Six Graduates. The Lincoln Public School, in Fayette, closed a most successful year last Friday evening with graduating exercises in the Second Baptist church in Fayette. On Thursday evening a graduate program was rendered including recitations, pantomime, songs, essays, drills, delisarte exercises, etc. It was an entertainment highly creditable throughout, reflecting credit on both pupils and teachers Friday evening the regular graduating exercises took place in the same room, and the occasion will long be remembered by all friends of the colored school in this community. Many white people were in the audience and were highly gratified at the high standard attained by Lincoln school under the administration of Prof E Dameron and his able assistants. An admission fee of 10 cents was charged at the door, and the sum of $48.50 was taken in, which will go toward equipping the library. It is conceded that the colored school in Fayette today is upon a higher plane than its previous history records. The attendance upon the graduating exercises this year was larger than ever before in the history of the school—many from Glasgow, Armstrong and Boonville being present. The following are the graduates this year: Laura Johnson, Lennie H Wright, Mary Hieronymous, Jessie Powell, Joella Washington and George Eyans. All were presented their diplomas by Rev J H McAllister, of Fulton. The faculty of this school is composed of E Dameron, principal; Mrs M S Bly, Mrs M B Lewis, and A Cravens. Principal Dameron expressed himself as highly pleased with the work of the school this year, and was proud of the class turned out. He compimented the school board upon their generous support of his school, and will enter upon his school work next fall with renewed energy. NO. 1. Sedalia Weekly Conservator. W. H. Huston. . . . .

In the midst of their reminiscences they will recall many who mingled with them twelve months ago but, this week they have left their comrades "Ne'er to return." It is sad to think that we shall soon be without these saviors of the once hard pressed republic, but it is true. Their ranks are being rapidly decimated by that irreconcilable foe, Death.

Excellent Work Being Done at Columbia,Mo—Demands the Admiration of Everyone. Douglas school commencement exercises closed here last night, when the class of '06 after listening to a very practical address by Dr J A Taylor, were given their certificates of graduation. The concluding exercises were characterized by several interesting features, good music, Indian Club drill, thoughtful orations, well presented, sensible addresses by distinguished and honored citizens. Large audiences greeted the students during all their entertainments which were held at St Paul's A M E church. Faculty, students, patrons and the Board of Education were all pleased with the year's work just concluded. New inspiration has been aroused and the indications for future expansion are everwhere perceptible. Aside from the very excellent literary work done in this school, much time and effort has been devoted successfully to the moral, social and industrial culture of its pupils. In the first, second and third grades, all pupils, boys as well as girls, are taught how to use the needles and scissors, raffia weaving and the use of the knife in shaping and fashioning wood. Specimen work, indicating a high degree of proficiency, in these lines of work were displayed in rooms where these grades were taught. In fashioning and finishing buttonholes, making aprons, completing raffia work, the boys rank well with the girls. Misses Jennie M Schweisch, J Ellis Fowler, one of the best primary teachers in the West, Mildred Williams, and Mrs Kate M Moore have secured good results in the primary grades. From the fourth grade upward the boys and girls are permitted to choose their own line of industrial work. In this grade the boys are required to use carpenter tools and the girls are directed to the study of fancy needlework. Regular hours are devoted daily to the work as outlined above. The grade had some very good work on display that reflected credit on the teacher, Mrs Virgie Q Walker, and did honor to the students who had acquired much thoroughness. In the fifth grade, taught by Miss Cordelle Walton, bead work was introduced during the past year. Pupils are taught how to make pnurses and other useful articles in wood and cloth. Exhibits in this grade were noted for their neatness, originality and completeness of construction. The sixth and seventh grades, taught by Mrs Anna E Wright, had some excellent specimens of work in carpentry, raffia designs, bead work and artistic needle work. Mrs Wright has secured very excellent results in drawing in these grades during the past session. Prof James B Coleman, principal, and wife, who have charge of the High school department of this school, are doing things along all lines with ten sets of carpenter tools. Prof Coleman has been able to teach several lads how to properly and profitably use them. During the year these boys have bridged a stream just north of the school grounds, fashioned pointers, sleeves, boards and other simple patterns of wood work. They have also construct- ed footstools and flower stands that are models of neatness and durability. Mrs Coleman has been equally as successful in teaching the girls the use of the needle. Their exhibit of waists, hand finished handkerchiefs, embroidery and drawing, to say nothing of the proficiency of the musical and literary work, are abundant evidence of well done work. To show their appreciation for the past year's work, the Board retained the same corps of teachers for the ensuing year. A POPULAR FOOD PLANT. What a great discovery the tomato was as an article of food. While most food plants are of comparatively ancient origin, there are plenty of people living today who can remember when it was only an ornament cultivated for the beauty of its dainty blossoms and handsome fruit. While its beauty was admired, it was considered like the poisonous oak, dangerous to even handle except by "dark complected" persons. Years of acquaintanceship, however, wore off its superstition, and a few "fool-hardy" actually owned up to having tasted the fruit. From this small beginning has gradually grown a use that makes today an industry with a capital of over $30,000,000, which disburses millions of dollars to its employees each year and aggregates an output of 240,000,000 cans. This product goes into every household in the land and is as familiar an article of diet as any other of the staple products of the soil. Each year sees an increasing consumption and the more intimate acquaintance the greater the use. The reason for this is very obvious. There is no better appetizer and as an article of seasoning the tomato imparts a taste that cannot be imitated. It is so distinctive that its presence can be located even in minute particles. Yet the pungency has everything that delights the palate and nothing that offends the nostril. The growth of its general popularity dates back to the time of the first successful packing houses. When the use of the tomato as a food was established, demand made it necessary to have a cheaper price than the local market gardener could afford, and meet this the tin can as a diminisher of space was called into requisition. It was found much cheaper proportionately to raise 1,000 bushels than ten so by the aid of the tin the cooked product could be placed on the consumer's table at a price so reasonable as to enable its daily use. Moreover, the article put in the can is brought fresh picked from the field, hermetically sealed and immediately sterilized by heat, while the uncanned fruit is frequently shipped for hundreds of miles before it is used as a food. This artificially ripened must be gathered green and the red color it finally assumes is the withering of hungry tissues that should have fed the fruit with the red nourishing juice that comes from the soil and by the aid of Mother Nature is thus transformed. No preservative is used by the canner as the action of heat insure-keeping for an indefinite time. There is nothing so healthy as this rich, ripe fruit dumped out of the clean white can ready for any use. The taste is equal to the fresh fruit and every semblance of waste in shape of rind or core has been removed. Eat it?—why the very sight and smell are irresistible, and the most insistent appetite can be sated because of its absolute harmlessness. Its healthfulness has not been attacked and the rich juices colored as the life giving fluid acts as a tonic even for the invalid stomach. There is no home where its visits are not welcome, the table of the millionaire or peasant is alike familiar with its presence. As Iudian Private Orders Given Special Attention.
