The Appeal

THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does not impress all noteworthy. 3-Its correspondents are able and amenable. TUSKEGEE Annual Report of Principal Booker T. Washington. VOL.17.NO.43. To the Trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute: Gentlemen: During the present session, 12 new women have been in attendance, and the average daily attendance has been 1.010. About one third have been young women and the remainder young men. The average age of the women admitted under 14 years of age, and unless they have had some academic preparation. The students have come to us from foreign countries, including 14 from Cuba and Puerto Rico. Aside from the students just named, who are in the regular industrial, academic and religious departments, there are 160 in the training school, which is taught upon the school grounds and under our control. This training school is a school of practice for those in the town of Tuskegee and the children of our teachers, and is not only used to benefit children of the town, but as a school of practice for those of our students who expect to become teachers. A night school is also maintained in the town of Tuskegee and the attendance of 88 students, and is composed of persons who work in the town during the day. An afternoon cooking class is also maintained in the town of Tuskegee for the benefit of the cooking school, it is the aim to teach the best and latest methods of preparing and serving food, and other household duties. Most of those who attend the afternoon cooking school, also attend the night school. Thirteen are at Counting those who are in regular attendance at the institution, together with those in the training school, town night school and the town afternoon cooking school, there is a total of 1,814 students. The number does not include the hundreds of adults who are reached through the Tuskegee Annual Negro Conference, together with its numerous local Negro conferences. There are in the employ of the school faculty of officers, academic teachers, industrial instructors, assistants, clerks, etc., 109 persons. Since its beginning, 498 persons have received diplomas and certificates of graduation from its various departments, and these are at work in various areas of usefulness in every part of the South. WORK OF GRADUATES. Aside from those who have graduated, it is safe to say that there are more than three thousand who have not remained long enough to receive a diploma or certificate, but who, nevertheless, have been so much benefited by their education, they are doing praiseworthy work. In the early years of the school, the larger proportion of our graduates became teachers. At the present time a majority of our graduates are or industry learned at this institution during the whole of the time. Others combine their industrial knowledge with teaching, while still others teach a portion of the year and work at their jobs. The calls that come to us almost daily, not only from the Negro race, but from whites as well, for our graduates to enter various fields of usefulness, are many—more than we can count. We need to take charge for our graduates to take charge of various departments of agriculture, are especially numerous. If we had the room and means, we could find opportunities for the greatest usefulness for our graduates than we sending out. In accordance with a vote of the Trustees, Rev. R. C. Bedford, one of our trustees, is spending a portion of each year in making personal inspection of the students under-graduates, and one gratifying fact in connection with this inspection is that very few men and women have spent any considerable time at this institution are to be found in idleness. Since the entire value of our work is to be tested by the success of our graduates, we feel that we cannot be too careful in keeping in close and accurate records of those who have been educated here. In several cases graduates of this institution are planting the methods and the spirit of this work in a surprisingly successful manner, on a large scale. The most important factor is this true of the school known as the Mt. Meigs Institute, at Waugh, Ala.; the Snow Hill Industrial Institute, Snow Hill, Ala.; the Christiansburg Institute, at Cambria, Va.; the Denmark Industrial School, Denmark; and we will well several others. It is a notable and encouraging fact that in the case of the schools at Snow Hill and Denmark, that the prime movers in starting and encouraging these schools have been Southern white men who are committed to secure the most promising students from a wide section of territory and to so train them that they will return to their homes and give the communities the benefit of their training. As fact as possible we are encouraging our graduates and others to introduce training in agriculture into the public schools of the South. This we are very important for the schools located in the small towns and rural districts. in this industrial training, we keep specially in mind the emphasizing of those industries at which the students are employed as soon as they leave us. GROWTH AND EXPANSION OF WORK The experiment which we began trying some two years ago of giving training to a portion of our young gardeners, a gardenering, horticulture, dairying, raising and poultry-raising, is proving quite successful. This is especially true of poultry raising. Several of the new agricultural buildings mentioned in this chapter were all of these were buildings greatly needed. Among them a heenery. This new building gives us the opportunity of teaching the raising of all kinds of poultry. We also have friends whose gift made it possible for us to erect the heenery, also enabled us to build a new barn for the dairy cows, and a new dairy house. All three of these buildings were much more effective in position to do much more effective work. Dorothy Hall, the new Trades' Building for Girls, gives us by friends in New York, to which I made reference in my last report, is completed. This is a very satisfactory building, and puts us in a position to give more effective training to girls than ever before. In Boston has given us $2,000 to be used in the exercise of training school building, and another in Connecticut has given $4,000 for a hospital. Both of these buildings are in process of erection and are much needed. Morris K. Jesup, of New York, has given $5,000 for a new barn for horses and mutes. This building is also being constructed. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has given $20,000 for a new library building, which has given $10,000 for a training section. In connection with all these buildings sticking to our original idea of having practically all of the work done by the labor of the students. In many respects this has been our most prosperous and encouraging year. This is how we show our financial condition in detail. Very large through the medium of the book, we see the interest in York and Philadelphia and other centers, the interest in our work has not only kept alive, but has grown bigger. FINANCIAL The total amount of money received for general purposes this year has been $189,782.30. Of this amount, the current amount has been used to meet the remainder to meet prior obligations and for permanent equipment. The report of the Treasurer will show that the institution is practically free from debt, and friends can feel assured that whether they give will be used for forwarding of the school, and not in meeting debts. Since my last report we have received for special buildings and other designated purposes in the direction of planting the plant, $252,005.28. At the time this fund will report the Endowment Fund amount to $158,222.49. Since that time this fund has been increased to $252,971.02. The whole of this fund is invested in safe and secure funds for our Endowment Fund Committee in York. This committee consists of Mr. William H. Baldwin, Jr., 128 Broadway, New York; Mr. J. G. Phelps Stokes, 47 Cedar street, New York. The average interest now being received for our Endowment is about 41% per cent. The total amount received from all sources, for all purposes, is $2,129.08. It now costs annually to operate the institution its departments not far from $100.000. To meet this annual expense we are now assured of the following amounts: $4,500 from the state of Alabama. $1,000 from the Peabody Fund. $800 from the John F. Slater Fund. $2,000 from students' entrance fees. $12,000 from the John F. Slater Fund. $270 from the Woman's Home Mission, as well as several other organizations. Added to these is the interest of our Endowment Fund, which is about $1,100, thus making a total of $32,070 that we can depend upon with reasonable assurance. $600 to be raised each year in order to meet the current expenses of the school. This money is secured mainly in the form of small gifts from indulgent schools and churches and other organizations in all parts of the country. The amount named as needed for current expenses leaves out of account the money needed for buildings, maidens and other improvements of the plant. Two-fifths of the total amount received during the past two years has gone into the permanent plant and Environment. We have a right, I think, to point with pride to the small average cost of educating our students. The total number of students reached being 1,514, and the total current expenses charged being about $110,000 brings whole cost for each individual to $7. The greater proportion of what the students pay is in the form of labor. They have paid toward their expenses in labor this year, $67,291.15, which being made to reduce the expenses of the institution, and to exercise the strictest economy in every department. At this point I cannot refrain from mentioning our indebtedness to six friends whose quiet, unrestricted generosity has lifted this year a great THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY OCTOBER 26. 1901. UPHELD. The Northern Press Without Ex=ception Defends President In Inviting Booker T.Washington to Dine With Him. President Theodore Roosevelt. Editor Post: Why all this fuss about Booker T. Washington and President Roosevelt? In what way has the president acted wrongly? He has consistently been a liberal, an aggressive fighter, a man who, as a thorough citizen, colors race, religion, or nationality in him to practice the principles of his life; therefore, Booker T. Washington was the private guest of Theodore Roosevelt, who recognized in him merit, the keynote of the political and social arch of American citizenship. But the president in his official or personal life does anything else than this incident; he will surely live in history as a man of courage P and splendid Americanism. No man in this great republic is to be tabooed on account of color or religion. The president is not the representative of all men, Christian and white, and black. I venture to say that if he had done me the honor to ask me to be his guest, there would have been a howt from those who object to the South, who would make themselves ridiculous by their insane and stupid prejudice. Booker T. Washington is an American gentleman, a thinker, scholar, educator, reformer—one who is a greater friend of the South than all other mouthing politicians of that section. I see the Republican party is to lose votes in Virginia and Maryland on account of this dinner incident. If so, I for one would be afraid of the fact that such good intentions have been driven into too much lately into so-called reconciliation, but my opinion is that the South is very good indeed just so long as it secures what it wants; and the government tread on one of its best bets to operate like the red rat to the bag. Frederick Douglas and John M. Langston were guests at my house. I have survived the deprivation, but I have learned to appreciate the resources of these men fingers, and is an inspiration. It is true if we are to be a world power that we manifest our power by recognizing the recognition of the men who merit it by act and deed. These wise Democrats of the South ignore the teachings of Jefferson, and forget the golden age of independence; they forget the history of slavery, when the children of the manor and the pickaninies of the hut mingled in fraternal comradeship. Prejudice based on ignorance and custom is hard to kill, but it will have to be overcome. It will not be it by President Roosevelt will be conceded wedge. Would the Southern press have, howled if Boss Croker had been the guest? And yet every decent, clean American citizen knows that the one, although black in skin, is white, while the other, although white, is black, and that the comparison is in favor by long odds of Booker T. Warner. It is the man, not the Negro—it is the high thinking American who is T. R. President Theodore Roosevelt recognized, and that is the basic rock of American institutions, and any departure therefrom is unworthy of the republic. God bless and strengthen the hands of the president. I know he is far above the petty criticisms of unthinking men, and he will as chief magistrate the same power of private and public conduct that endear him to all true citizens, and history will write him down as a worthy successor of Lincoln and McKinley. SIMON WOLF. He is a prominent Washington Hebrew. Editor Post: Apropos of President Roosevelt inviting a colored brother and man to dinner. I recall a remark of his that we were stumping together in Indiana for Garfield in 1880. At Vincennes, at dinner, one day he turned to me in that quizical way he could assume, and said, "Datzell, tell you ashamed of going along with the country this way with a nigger." "Well, no," I answered, my old abolition blood taking fire at the thought, "not a bit. I should be ashamed to travel around with some niggers and with many whites, too. I am sure, as would be, but not with a nigger like you. I am proud of it," and I was. And so say I still, in this year of grace 1901, I am proud of a president who can recognize such a man as Booker Washington as the equal of the best of any color or creed. I suppose that was the feeling of the presidents of 11,000,000 American citizens to dinner and he is right about it. The only people who will object are Defective Page those who don't like a race that always fought for and never against the flag, and always did and will vote the Republican ticket. Selah! PRIVATE DALZELL Cambridge, Mass. Oct. 18—(Special) —President Roosevelt's bold stand in dinner Booker T. Washington at the Executive table yesterday receives the unanimous commendation of Harvard professors. They look with high mindfulness upon the question and condone the hasty criticism of the South. They president did wrong and who think the President did wrong as jaundice-eyed and narrow viewed. President Eliot, when asked to sum elt. up the opinion of Harvard, replied with characteristic terseness: "Last commencement Booker Washington received the greatest Booker Washington receive the greatest, or we could bestup upon him—an honorary degree. By that we expressed what we think of him." Booker Washington is one of the scientific school, himself from Kentucky, ran his fingers through his gray Andrew Jackson poudour and laughed. "When Mr. Washington was here I sat with him on the platform and in front of the Booker Washington is a man, and a great man. Were I in Roosevelt's place I would have done the same. Were I in Roosevelt's place I would feel an intense pity for those who deceived me. Professor Charles Elliot Norton said: 'As far as the question of citizenship is concerned, Roosevelt's action is eminently just and right. In regard to speech of the question, I will not speak. "The President cannot look at citizens in regard to their color. No distinction can be drawn between white and black. A black man of high attainments is worthy of recognition. His color is blind to it. It merit is commendable only because of its possessor's color, it is not valued for its intrinsic worth. "It pleases me that the President has given this recognition to a deserving man. When Booker T. Washington who have lost this distinction him at my table and should be here again this winter I shall again hope for the honor." Continued n 6th Col. THE APPEAL KEeps IN FRONT BECAUSE: 6-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring conique. 6-It asks no support but the people. COLORLINE Used As A Sermon Text by Chicago Pastors. Booker T. Washington a guest at dinner at the White House formed the text on which at least four Chicago ministers constructed their sermons yesterday. They were as of one mind President Roosevelt and in the foreword with which they pointed to the error in Southern criticism. "Theodore Roosevelt is president of the whole American people, and he gave a practical illustration of that fact," said Bishop Samuel Fallows. "It is a welcome herald of the days when men shall be measured solely by the quality of their intellects and their morals," was the argument of Dr. H. W. Thomas. "The act points to the early recognition of God and the brotherhood of man," was the comment of the Rev. A. L. Murray. "Mr. Washington was at the president's table not as a Negro, but as an American citizen," declared the Rev. A. J. Saran. "PRESIDENT IS JUSTIFIED." Speaking of "The Unity of the Human Race," Bishon Fallowes said: "President Roosevelt has shown his Christian manhood in the invitation he gave Booker T. Washington to dine at the White House, act on the part of the president, but if it had been an official one he would have been justified in asking this disguised Afro-American scholar, educator to break bread with him. "Theodore Roosevelt is president of the whole American people. It is absurd to fault with him for giving him the facts of fact. It is ungenerous, to say the least, for any one in the southern portion of the country to criticise him when the reason of the friendly interview with White House is the "sober second thought of his critics will be in the right direction. The president has committed neither a crime nor a blunder. "The overstatement of sentiment of the nation is with him." Dr. Thomas took for his subject, "The Greater Man; the Greater God; and in the course of his sermon said: "That time is near when man will be measured, not by the accidents of wealth, or race, or color, but by the mind. The man who has been left to this country to bring forth the highest interpretation of the equality of man as the son of God. The day is coming when the greatness of man will not be gauged by the in- herited titles of royalty, nor by the millions of money, however gotten, and earned, but by the earnest and earnest endeavor. Then crowns of honor will rest on the heads of the honest, telling fathers and mothers, the millions unknown to earthly fame, but who have nobly done their work." UMEN OF RACIAL PEACE. At Quinn Chapel, M. E. church, Thirth and Dearborn streets, the Rev. A. L. Murray said: "While some of the A. L. S. press is criticizing the act of the chief magistrate of our country, we see in it Christian evidence of coming peace between the races and a recognition of the brotherhood of man. The act itself only portrays to the world the inward principles of a pure and upright man, and it has without doubt welded to him the better class of white people of this country and brought him the right to live in peace and race. Lynching and mob violence will soon be cellled in the principle of the brotherhood of man." CITIZEN AND NOT NEGRO. At Quinn Chapel, twenty-four street and Washabue avenue, the Rev. A. L. Murray said: "Booker Washington nor any other intelligent Negro of this country cares not one lota about so-called 'social equality.' We believe the president invited Mr. Washington to his table not as a Negro, but as an American citizen, because he desired to consult on matters of national importance." "We hall this action by the president as an omen of the coming of that day when we shall neither be favored nor hindered because of the color of our skin. All that the Negroes of this country want to be chance, and I beseach you that we so deport and conduct ourselves that fair-minded men, who are willing to forget the color of a man's skin and measure him by his character and fitness, will find in us no cause for complaint." INDORSED BY DOWIE "Johnny came to DOWIE to take a stand in defense of the president in his discourse yesterday." "The president has the right to entertain whom he please," said he, "and I indorse the stand he has taken. Prejudice against the Negro race has got to go, and I hope our new president not only will be president of the white race, but of the black as well." UPHELD Continued from 6th Col. the Evening Sunday before last night before both Booker T. Washington, the worthy and much respected colored man who is at the head of the Tuskegee-Institute, as a guest at his private table in the White House. This has caused some indignation among Southerners and in Southern newspapers. They declare that it sets out adamantly against dining at the White House' is an outrage, and that the President cannot expect to make friends in the South if he continues to be guilty of such conduct, together with divers and sundry $2.40 PER YEAR. remarks to the effect that this is a 'white man's country.' "Yet all that the President really seems to have done was an act of courting in asking Mr. Washington to sit down with him, and then to have talk with him. As Boehner T. Washington is an entirely reputable man, as well as an interesting one, the President doubtless enjoyed his company. Many Presidents in the past have had far less reputable and agreeable men with him. Mr. Roosevelt shall have no worse ones among his private guests, the country will have no cause for complaint. "The right of the President to dine with anyone he may please to have with him is entirely his own affair, and Theodore Roosevelt is not a likely friend and company, black or white, for his business or world companionship. The rumpus which some indiscreet Southerners are trying to raise because he has been hospitable to a colored man is a foolish display of both manners and temper." New York, Get. 19.—The Tribune says: "The Southern politicians who criticise President Roosevelt's action in inviting Prof. Booker T. Washington to be asked to raise the question whether of the Tuskegee Institute or himself is really the more deserving and genuine friend of the South." In December, 1858, the President of the United States and the Governor of Alabama were received and entertained at Tuskegee Institute by Booker T. Washington. In writing of this visit the correspondent of the New Orleans Presidential host, said or hostesses could have been more courteous in attending to and more thoughtful in forestalling every want of their guests than were these refined and educated Africans during all the time of our presidency. This was in keeping with the practice at Tuskegee Institute. In the last ten years hundreds of distinguished white men, from the South and North, have sat at Booker T. Washington's table. Booker T. Washington has the host and there has been no protest. In the last five years Booker T. Washington has attended three banquets given by a conspicuous Chicago club, and on two occasions he has had dinner with a guest at banquets in nearly every large city in the country. He has been received with courtesy also by the Governor and Legislature of Alabama. Yet, on these occasions, he has been a guest at clubs or Governor or Legislature of proclamation "break down the social barriers between the races." Nevertheless, the act of the new president of the United States, in reelection 2012, has Washington at the White House a few days ago, is being described by many Southern newspapers as "an outrage" and "a declaration of war." Of these Southern newspapers, "the United States may dine with a colored man at a colored man's home and not depart from the strictest lines of propriety; but if he invites the most distinguished colored man in the country to dine with a colored man in the guilty of an "outrage" in other words, the President of the United States may accept the hospitality of a colored man, but he may not return it. This is absurd. The President receives a letter from the interment of Booker T. Washington in ashes as President of all the people. There was no protest when Mr. Washington advised the President to adopt a new policy as to new appointments of officers, and no protest when such appointments of white men were made in accordance with his advice. The line was drawn only when the President invited Mr. Washington to dine with him. From the end of the civil war, we are living at a time when it is the duty of the President of the United States to receive hospitably the representatives of all nations—white, black, or yellow, brown, or red, and yet, when the President in the performance of his duty receives hospitably the chosen representative of 8,000,000 native Americans, there are those who pretend to see in this act of patriotism the "declaration of war" on some American institution or institutions. Nonsense!—Chicago Inter Ocean. Philadelphia. Col. 19—The Ledger this morning says: this morning says: "Because President Roosevelt saw fit in his good judgment to invite Booker T. Washington to dinner, strong words were delivered to Mr. Washington is a colored man who enjoys the universal respect of all people in this country, black and white, on account of attainments, character and intelligence, and he him to be his private guest, and did not attempt to force the companionship of a colored man upon to whom the association could possibly be distasteful, and of citizens who would favor a narrower, great impressiveness. But, considered in any light, the invitation is not a subject for criticism. Booker T. Washington is one of the most potable citizens of the country, and worthy he is. He is the successful executive of one of the most remarkable institutions in the United States, the Tuskegee Alabama Institute, which not only aims, but in HAVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL?

Address, THE, APPEAL, <io East 4th St., St. Paul, Minn. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1901. “Consistency, then art a jewel.” Yes, thou art. A jewel which a number of our white fellow citizens seem not to possess. They claim to be representatives of the highest type of mankind; to be the embodiment of all the virtues in the category; to be the criticors of the world. They claim that a man’s house is his castle, in which his will is law. As President Roosevelt is only a man, is not his house his castle, and can he not do as he pleases there, as much so as other man in his house? But what a senseless, inconsistent hulabaloo has been kicked up on account of the simple fact that Mr. Roosevelt invited Mr. Washington to dine with him and his family at his house. Mr. Washington is a representative of a class of citizens of this country constituting about one-seventh of the entire population, and is conceded by every honest, honorable, sensible man to be a gentleman according to the general acceptance of the term. He is honored and respected in all the world wherever he is known, and in fact there is not one man who censures President Roosevelt for his very oratory, and unqualifiedly proper courtesy toward Mr. Washington who has Chiffre ever, or will ever, deserve and receive the honors that have been bestowed upon Mr. Washington in this country and in other countries. The president is so much a man and a gentleman that the thought of doing otherwise than he did never entered his head. Why, he would have invited old ben tillman to dine with him under similar circumstances, in all probability. Then there might be a justifiable howl of indignation, in which the one seventh of the country's population above referred to might have joined. And why all this hubbub because President Roosevelt dined with an Aro-American. He did no more than several of his predecessors, including Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, Cleveland and McKinley had done. American race to be B ner the Southern p abuse upon him. In has not been a single All of the papers, Den publican, all of the uphold the President's his own company. The President has a harm in the eyes of people, in honoring Bington, who is really remarkable men the produced. Born a slave, surre the debasing influence has struggled on and he is recognized as one of Americans. He has been receive Chief among the objections to Afro-Americans that are usually advanced when the matter of civil or social rights is in question, is that they are not educated and refined. These objectionable features are not found in Mr. Washington, and in fact they are not found in thousands of Afro-Americans who are systematically denied the ordinary civil and social rights that are accorded without question to the veriest boors—if white. There was considerable stir a few days ago when Mr. Washington's daughter entered Wellesley college, and she was both educated and refined; certainly as much so as those who objected to her. For several months the white women of Minnesota have been worried to a frazzle because the Adelphi, a club composed of Afro-American women intimated that it might apply for admission into the State Federation of women's clubs. A number of these women attended a meeting of the Adelphi club and were unanimous in their statements of surprise at the education, culture and air of refinement with which the meeting was characterized, yet when the State Federation met last week they turned their dark-hued sisters down with a subterfuge, and then took the two representatives of the Adelphi to lunch with them. We are constantly told of our short-comings and the things needful to be done to insure proper recognition, but we find when we possess about all the needful things they don't weight as much as a feather as against the visible admixture of African blood in our composition. This color prejudice is such a senseless thing, and we are pleased to see our president sit down upon it as he has done. Why was not a howl raised because President Roosevelt had Marquis Ito, the Japanese minister, to dine with him. He and Washington are about the same color. All honor to the head of this nation because he could see no reason why he should not treat the chief man among us with the commonest of courtesies because there was a slight difference in the color of the pigment under his skin. Actually we find ourselves at a loss to express our opinion of these senseless, inconsistent color prejudices, and as old Butler once said: "Sheo, fly, don't bother me" to a pestiferous opponent, we feel like telling them to "Go way back and sit down!". The Booker Washington incident shows plainly that the line dividing the North and South is as clearly defined as in '61. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFBO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER American race to be his guest at dinner the Southern press is heaping abuse upon him. In the North there has not been a single discordant note. All of the papers, Democratic and Republican, all of the leading citizens uphold the President's right to choose his own company. The President has done himself no harm in the eyes of right-thinking people, in honoring Booker T. Washington, who is really one of the most remarkable men the world has ever produced. Born a slave, surrounded by all of the debasing influences of slavery, he has struggled on and on until today he is recognized as one of the greatest of Americans. He has been received socially by the most distinguished people of the land; statesmen, prelates, financiers, the literati. In England Mr. Washington took tea with the late Queen Victoria. In Paris he was the guest of honor at a banquet attended by some of France's most distinguished citizens. It has remained for narrow-minded Southern people to criticise the gentlemanly action of a broad-minded President. When Roosevelt succeeded to the Presidency THE APPEAL prophesied he would be the President of all the people, and his action in seeking the advice of Booker T. Washington and inviting him to his table shows that President Roosevelt is not unmindful of the fact that there are in this country 10,000,000 loyal patriotic citizens of African descent. In this issue of THE APPEAL will be found the annual report of Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute to the Board of Trustees. It is dated May 30, but has never before been given to the public. The report shows that the annual cost of operating the institution is about $100,000. The assured income amounts to about $32,000, leaving approximately $68,000 to be raised each year to meet the current expenses. One of the pressing needs of the institution is an Endowment Fund of at least $500,000, half of which has already been secured. This $250,000 ought to be raised by the Afro-Americans of the country. The race must learn the lesson of supporting race enterprises. The strictest economy is practiced in every department. The work accomplished by Tuskegee is marvelous. It is teaching the Afro-Americans of the South industry, and it is only through industry that the masses of the race can work out their own elevation. At Yale College on Wednesday the degree of LL. D. was conferred upon President Roosevelt and a number of other people who were deemed worthy of the honor. Justice Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court, delivered the commemorative address. He elicited hearty applause from the immense audience when he referred to Yale as a place "where men are taught to recognize n Washington, whether his first name is George or Booker." That's the right sort of talk. Contrast it with what that recounted scum of all that is vein in mountain-old ben hillman, says viz.: "The action of President Roosevelt in entertaining that nigger will necessitate our killing thousands of niggers in the South before they will learn their place again." And, yet, there would have been no comment if he had been invited to des --- ereate the President's family table. Consistent, isn't it? In his speech at the opening of the Ohio campaign last Saturday, Senator Hanna tersely phrased the consensus of opinion among sensible men regarding the political situation when he said "Let well enough alone." While it is possible to find fault with trivial matters, all thinking Americans must admit that the Republican party has done well for the nation as a whole. Prosperous at home and respected abroad, the United States stands in the very forefront of human progress. In no country in the world has the humblest citizen so great an opportunity for advancement. Under Republican rule we may hope for even greater, material progress. "Let well enough alone." Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, the first lady of the land, is a sensible woman. She says that any woman with common sense could be well dressed on $300, and further explains that hitherto she has never spent that much a year. Mrs. Roosevelt believes in choosing the very best of everything. Her children wear sailor hats, but she pays $5 apiece for them, and they last for years. The first lady of the land laughingly said that the sailor hat which Archibald is now wearing adorned the head of Kermit for two gummers. The London press is praising Lillian Thomas's an Afro-American artist, who has taken a studio in St. John's Wood in that city. She will go down in history as the painter of the last portrait of President McKinley. Miss Thomas was born in Columbus, Ohio, and is but 28 years of age. She is well known in St. Louis, where she, was formerly teacher of drawing in the public schools. PUHELD (Continued from 1st, page.) fact does, educate and train the youth of the Negro race ibe become useful, industrious, and self-supportive citizens of the Negro race be useful, industrial, and self-supporting citizens. "Booker T. Washington is the embodiment of common sense, and, instead of holding the members of his dwelling to their own power, waste their time upon politics, and to try to get something for nothing in this life, in order to live without work, he has constantly preached the gospel of honest work, and has founded a young Negroes for useful lives as workers' and teachers of industry to others. This is the man who was justly called by President McKinley, after he ushered in the useguee, the leader of his race," and in 1876 a diligent man denies that he is doing a great service to the whole population of both colors in this land. It is evident that the only objection that could brought against association with such a color alone, or President Roosevelt that he is not recognize that prejudice. "Under bad political practice in the South bad and corrupt political machines have been formed, in which Neptune has bargained for Southern delegates, for instance, at Republican National Conventions has been a very grievous and, in some indications that he too himself has have any part or lot in perpetuating these bad practices. He is reported to have said the other day that 'the color his advantage or disadvantage may appoint or a removal from office.' If he acts upon this principle, he will, of course, be criticised by some politician, who is showing prominently in the 'Washington' that he has absolutely no prejudice against the Negro race he has disarmed any criticism that may arise when he is colored man from office or retuces to appoint unlucky men to office."

I am sorry that I cannot have, pleasure of giving their names, but this they forbid. It is a rare and beautiful privilege for us to have this touch with those deeds who hide themselves behind their deeds of generosity. Among our most pressing needs at present are the need for an Endowment Fund of at least $500,000 (towards which $250,000 has been secured). Scholarships of $50 a year to pay for the tuition of one student. ($200 enables a student to complete the four years' course. $1,000 creates a permanent interest from which pays for the student at a student for all time). Money in amounts to meet current expenses; even $1 helps us. $20,000 for a Girl's Dormitory. $20,000 for a Boys' Dormitory. $12,000 for an Administration Building. $1,200 each for two Teachers' Cottages. $500 each for six Teachers' Cottages $1000 for a central heating system $10,000 for a building system $12,000 for completion of Boys Trades' Building. $2,000 for Commissary Building. $10,000 for better equipment of industries. $10,000 for an addition to Alabama Hall. **MISCELLANEOUS.** Since last report we have lost by death Mr. Tucker, a teacher in Philadelphia, one of our trustees and most helpful friends. Mr. Collis P. Huntington, of New York, has also passed away in Huntington's interest began with the establishment of a situation, and continued to increase, till the day of his death. In him the school has lost one of its strongest friends. Pilips the most important event that has occurred during the year is a visit of a party of sixty prominent people interested in the education of both races. This party, known as the Mr. Robert C. Cain event, here as the guests of Mr. Robert C. Cain event, and I feel sure that their wives Miss Portia Washington. F there were any doubts in the minds of the authorities of Wellesley college as to the admission of Miss Porter Washington, daughter of Booker T. Washington, the colored educator whose dinner with President Roosevelt was held in the South, there is no evidence of it to be seen to-day. On the contrary, everybody, students as well as faculty, are unaware of the occasion, and are showing the young woman every possible courtesy and attention. At the home of Mrs. Brehart, in Howe street, where Mrs. Washington is living, she occupies a position of absolute equal will result in much good to the whole South. The spirit of industry is so strongly lodged in the minds and hearts of the students that every student upon our rolls pursues some branch of industry, in addition to other studies. Every student who graduates has received such training in some branch of industry will enable him to earn his living. In conclusion I wish to add a thought which I have tried to express before, and that is, more and more, each year I have taught agriculture should be made, in a very clear and explicit work; our work; that the salvation of my race will largely rest upon its ability and willingness to secure and cultivate properly the soil. I believe that the training school should be enlarged and increase the efficiency of our agricultural department. In this connection, I am glad to add that arrangements have been made to reserve the training school to be used in our agricultural training to the smallest children. My feeling grows stronger each year that perhaps in the heat of the summer out of racial and social prejudices given the Southern people due credit for the immense amount of help rendered the Negro during the period that was a slave. The Negro as a slave culture, mechanics and household arts. Brush it thoroughly and hard, and While I would by no means limit his in all cases add academic and religious training, I would also be helpful for a number of years to come, in our methods of education, to give great attention to these fundamental occupations. In proportion as one would like to have a degree, it should these fundamental occupations, at the same proportion does he lay the foundation for the highest and most complete development of himself and children. When we consider the past I regard that from every point of view the progress of the Negro race is satisfactory and the relation of the races enraging. It is the duty of all patriots that present conditions are not disturbed by hasty, racial and unnecessary legislation. Respectfully submitted, BOOKER T.

When Gould returned shortly after 8 o'clock he found that Cash had retired, and called him. He repeated the call, and on getting no answer went over to the bed. He was taken to the room immediately summoned Dr. T. S. Cook. When Dr. Cook arrived on the scene he found Cash unconscious and almost dead. He quickly set to work, and with restoratives finally succeeded in restoring his patient to consciousness. During the excitement some one telegramed him that the man was dead, but when the latter appeared on the scene Cash was conscious. In reply to a query as to why he took poison, Cash said, "Because I wanted to, and am tired of living." He also threatened to repeat the attempt, and was told of it next time. He is sixty years old, and is a well-known character about town. A "KILLING AT POLICY. Allen A. Hodge, a porter living at $74 Summit place, won $520 Tuesday on a $2 bet.

SIS HOPKINS At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul. "Sis Hopkins," that pretty pastoral comedy drama which is now in its third season, with Miss Rose Melville in the title role, comes to the Grand Rapids theater this week and this is really remarkable play that Mr. J. R. Stirling, under whose direction the piece has become one of the most popular and best-known comedy films of the past decade, the public had it entirely recast by the author of the stage version of "David Harum." It was then sent out for last season and brilliantly successful beyond all anticipation. This season Mr. Harum takes a role in a fight in response to requests for time to age in different parts of the country who wanted to give "Sis" to their patrons once more before Miss Melville takes up the new play which has been adapted by the actors in the stage today. Many of the actors are known and popular with theatre goers. The story of "Sis Hopkins" is a simple one, natural and free from the liberties of modern society plays because the homely country people of Posey are known and popular with theatre goers. The story of "Sis Hopkins" is an awkward country girl, the daughter of Pa Hopkins, and she dresses in that queer, old-fashioned stocking of gingham pinafore, striped stocking and a funny little red side combs. A railroad wants to get the right of way through THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER the farm, and an agent comes along to secure the necessary papers. His efforts to this and give Sis her first introduction to the farm is a revelation to her and in a most pathetic scene she announces her determination to go away and learn to dress "an lie, an lie" like other people." She returns it is as a young woman of color and a father has lost his mind and does not recognize her. She slips away and returns clad in her old clothing as "Sis" and slinging her old father's favorite dress. She is recognized by recognition. The character of "Sis" is distinctive and quaint and original with Miss Melville. Her mannerisms, sayings and her teering walk make character one of the most interesting on the stage. When she is asked to sign away her portion of the farm for the winter, she has become famous from one end of A BRILLIANT IDEA 1—Tom is so absent-minded that he just fix them in his hatband, so! 1—Tom is so absent-minded that he always forgets to mail my letters; so I'll just fix them in his hatband, so! the country to the other: 'You can't never make *nothin*! don't *ninthin* for it!'

Intends Taking Precautions to Prevent Post-Mortem Robbery The uniformed functionary who is in command of a袋 of bellboys at a local hotel takes pride in the mouthful of jewelry he displays every time he grins.

An acquaintance, one of the prominent regular boarders at the hotel, noticing the animated show case the older day, observed: "I am afraid, captain, that after you "I am afraid, captain, that after you remain in your grave. Some one will dig you up for that gold in your mouth. You'll be worth more dead than you are alive." Rastus laughed so heartily at this that the jewelry display dazzled the eyes of the guest.

Ouer Result of Jersey Justice. Here is a little story of the thrift of one of those stern dispensers of "Jersey justice" that adorn the bench of that state, says an exchange. A couple of months ago a gentleman living near Paterson was sued by a butcher in the sum of $350, though he held receipts of the butcher for the full amount of his alleged indebtedness. The resident of suburban Paterson was waited upon by the sheriff and hailed before a justice. Before the judge, who was a personal friend and showed him his receipts, the judge looked the documents over and realized that the case must be thrown out of court. "I'll look after the matter," said the judge. Some days later the gentleman who had been sued asked the judge about the case. "Oh," said the judge, "threw the case out of court and made sure I pay the costs—and, by the way," put the bill bearing the butcher's signature for its payment from his pocket, "I see you are paying two cents less for leo chops that I do—and that ham is but 22 cents a pound, while we pay 23 for it down there. I'm going to / trade with that son of a gun after this." Put not thy soul in Satan's hands, in justice. Aq u neege xoeq aj aeku oj adoq Cursed is he who sins in hope.—Clark. FAR OFF.

The Plymouth Clothing House, Seve HAVE SEEN HAVE YOU THE GordonHat CROWN OF THE CONTINENT. Hight of Land Shedding Water in All Directions. George Bird Grinnell describes in the Century what he calls the Crown of the Continent of North America: Far away in northwestern Montana, hidden from view by clustering mountain-peaks, lies an unmanned corner—the Crown of the Continent. The water from the crusted snowdrift which caps the peak of a lofty mountain there trickles into tiny rills, which hurry along north, south, east and west, and growing into rivers, at last pour their currents into three seas. From this mountain-peak the Crown of the Continent of Mexico receive each its tribute. No words can describe the grandeur and majesty of these mountains, and even photographs seem hopelessly to dwarf and bellieve the most impressive peaks. The fact that it is altogether unknown, the beauty of its scenery, its varied and unusual fauna, and the opportunities it offers for mountain-climbing, give the region a wonderful attraction for the lover of nature. Beyond the head of the lower lakes wagons cannot go 5.0, and the traveler who wishes to reach the heads of any of the streams must leave his wagon and go to the mountain train. This means that his possessions—his food, his bedding, and on the backs of horses and mules, and so carried through the dense forests and up the steep mountain sides. This is a, pleasant mode of travelling, though it is slow and entails much more labor than traveling in a wagon. It has, however, the great advantage that it makes one independent. With a pack train the explorer can go almost where he please. Neither dense brush, close-standing timber, nor steep hills furrowed by great ravines can stop him; wherever a man can ride, a pack-horse can follow. COCAINE FIENDS. Results of the Habitat Use of the Seedive Drug. An English physician who is an eminent authority, writes in thrilling terms in regard to the danger of using cocaine. At first pain is deadened. The things that troubled you seem swept out of your life. You have a sense of self-satisfaction, of buoyancy, of ease and pleasure, the normal man or woman, the normal man or woman, the normal man or woman, although in this, as in every nerve poison, the effect differ according to individual temperament. "But the pleasure passes off very quickly, even more quickly than with opium, and the victim is almost invariably driven to renew the injection. In many cases from twelve to twenty doses are before long taken in a single day. This is no figure of speech, but a character an observed and undeniable fact. The victim does not become violent or brutal. On the contrary, he seems more gentle and refined than ever before. His artistic perceptions are in every way quickened. But though he has hitherto been scrupulously honest, he will now often steal without shame. He often seems to forget the meaning of it. It is yet a moot point with physiologists and why this destruction of the mind is so complicated. But that this is done admits of nodal. "Many of the kleptomaniacs and other degenerates are cocaine fiends.—Buffalo Commercial. INSECT PESTS IN BRAZIL Diabolical Work of the Ghiggars and the Berne Files. I should take a small gang of practical coffee planters from Ceylon with good digtions to not afraid of gliggargs, ticks, and Berne flies—to say nothing of the dear little mosquito. The writer had extracted during four years in Brazil no less than 200 gliggargs from underneath every toenail of both feet. The Portuguese, Brazilians, Italians, and Spaniards called it a reeve and dig them out of each other's feet. Of insects on earth, the Bornee fly is the worst. She lays her eggs inside your flesh, and hatches three very ugly insects an inch long, with three rings of bristles round the body and sharp nippers. They take about six weeks to develop under your skin; then commence to turn somersaults just when you want to go to sleep after a hard day's work in the skin. The natives of Borneo adopt a novel way of extracting gliggargs from coyote fur. They tie on a piece of raw pork, and Bornee comes out of your skin and takes a header into the piece of pigskin—Ceylon Observer. Wrong Name Spoiled the Effect. It is the hardest thing in the world to funny to order, and Fred Wright. Jr., so associated in the minds of boys, many successes that they seem to enjoy to play the same part off the stage as he does on, says London M. A. P. He makes, in his humorous, quiet way, a surprising them, and he is quick in telling the difference between honest appreciation and mere flattery. For instance, he is the author of that pretty little piece, "The Empty Stocking," which ran for a considerable time at the Strand. One day, at an "at home" he was introduced to a young lady on the too-demonstrative manner. "Oh Mr. Wright!" she exclaimed. "I want to see your play last week. It is so hard! It must cry for an hour-" Then she hesitated and Mr. Wright saw that she had forgotten even the name, so he asked: "Do you want the Strand theater?" "Yes," continued the young lady. "of course, at the Strand—The Pair of Socks' isn't it?" Party Support. He was a great bore, and was talking to a crowd about the coming local election. Said he: 'Gibbs is a good man; he is capable, fearless and conscientious. He will make the decision of of his own accord. He once saved my life from drowning.' 'Do you really want to see Gibbs elected?' said a solemn-faced man. 'I do. indeed. I'd give anything to see him elected.' answered the bore. Then never let anybody know he said our life.' counselled the solemn-faced man. Underwear bargains. The most beautiful river scenery in the world is between St. Paul and Chicago.

The Owner Married the Man Who Stole the Animal. The office of Magistrate Conohan, in Wilkesbarre, Pa., was the scene of a novel wedding today, the participants in which were Miss Mathilda Parkerson, aged 53, and Hiram Johnson, aged 55. Miss Parkerson and Johnson claimed the ownership of a little pig. Miss Parkerson said it was her pig and Hiram took an oath that the property. After squabbling for ten years, the pig brought before Justice Conohan, who promised to settle the dispute. The pig was brought to the squire's office and the interested parties were on hand. Miss Parkerson swore the pig was hers. Then Johnson was sworn. He called the pig by name and the little one followed him all over the room. He had trained the pig and for half an hour an amount of the squill and the witness. He rendered the following verdict: That the pig should be killed and roasted and divided equally between Miss Parkerson and Hiram Johnson. Both protested. They did not want to see the pig killed. Miss Parkerson said she would save the pig if she had to for it. The squire suggested that the pig be married—it would save the pig and they own it. His said he would not propose to Miss Parkerson as he was ashamed. After some hesitation Mathilda finally asked Hiram if he would be her husband. The justice remembered that he had a wedding ring in the safe that had been left there for security. The groom bought it for $2.50. The couple then got a license license and the man made them man and wife, thus surrendering the pig. The alderman had kissed the man and wished them as prosperous life they got into the farm wagon, the pig between them, and drove home. -Philadelphia Record. TIME IN CENTRAL AFRICA. Hours of the Day Counted from Sunrise to Sunset. Miss Allen, of Uganda, Central Africa, writes a letter from that far-off mission station, which explains the system of keeping time among the natives, and, incidentally, throws new light on the Jewish system during the period of Christ's crucifixion. Among other things she says: "The people here constantly come and ask us what o'clock it is. They have no clocks or themselves and can only judge of the time. The sun I always have to educate bible answer, because they count their hours just as the Jews did when our Lord was on earth. Seven o'clock in the morning they call one o'clock, and on through the day, so that six in the evening is twelve o'clock to them. They count the hours of the day from sunrise to sunset. You remember, in the account of the Crucifixion, the writers say that there was darkness over the land from the sixth to the ninth hour, that is, from twelve to three. The people are under the same this saying perfectly. The entire church has a cheap American clock, which was given him by Miss Taylor, and he sends his boy with it nearly every morning for us to set right, as it goes very badly. At first I could not make out why at eight in the morning this clock pointed to two."—Ram's Horn. Last of the Texas Long Horn. One of the most noted and valuable long-horned cattle in the world is the famous Texas steer Geronimo, named after the celebrated Indian chief. He is as fierce and dangerous as was his nameake. He is said to be 36 years old and his great horns measure nine feet six inches from tip to tip, three to four feet being the length of the long-horned steer. Geronimo is almost the last of his type in Texas cattle in this country. This breed, which has until recent years figured in the development of the great southwest, is fast becoming extinct. The Texas steer and the cowboy will soon be known in story only—they are both "passing." The tattle are vanishing before the onward movement of blooded stock from the north and the Bureau of Animal Industry, wishing to preserve a national record of the last survivor of so famous an American breed and type, had Geronimo photographed recently. Geronimo has taken many state and national shows at various live stock shows. "So you are going to be a poet, young man?" querted the exclamation, in whose voice there was a note of cynicism.

People never get rich nor seldom ever secure a comfortable competence from wages or salary unless they save a portion of their monthly earnings, and invest in some form of property that will increase in value. Mining is one of the most legitimate investments. Rich metallic discoveries are made profitable only by mining the minerals managed by the judicious expenditure of capital. The enormous dividends accredited to mining are then made possible. Hence proper organization and capitalization with the dividends of the investment through shares legally issued, participation in the profits are the most desirable. If money can be placed so that it will earn of itself, through sickness and health, nights and Sundays, good times and bad, then the owner has spent beside his personal daily efforts to ensure that he will therefore impress on the reader's mind the opportunity here offered for making at least a small investment in stock in the mine of the Clarence Ray Buffalo Hump Gold Mining Co, a corporation established under and by virtue of the laws of the state of Washington, thus laying a foundation for a future income. This mine is situated in the famous gold district of central Idaho, better known as the Big Buffalo Co., namely the Big Buffalo and Vesuvius, and less than half a mile south of the Crackerjack, whose vast richness has been the great talk of the camp. We are most positive in asserting that we are a dividend-payer in the future. We are sure you for you to any of the leading business men of Spokane, Washington state, the head office of the company, or to any business man of Grangeville, Idaho, or any mining man at Buffalo Hump, which has placed 75,000 shares of the treasury stock at 5c per share in blocks of 100 shares and upwards for the future development of the property. Do not delay or miss the opportunity, as this business will advance the continued development of the property will advance the price of the stock. The great surface showing of the district has been a wonderful incentive and has been taken advantage of by a number of the most active and progressive mining operators in the west. The mining operations have already been expended the results have been eminently satisfactory in every case. Perhaps during the past year one million five hundred thousand dollars have been expended on properties in the district. The haps one million dollars was expended by the Buffalo Hump Syndicate alone and they now have about one hundred patented claims in the district, the principal of which is the Vesuvius, Vesuvius No. 2 and Blue Label claims. The haps been sunk to a depth of about two hundred and forty feet with a large body of remarkably high grade ore in the bottom of the shaft. The lead has also been opened up in many places by drifts and cross cuts which have been used to extract about 16 feet in width and average assay returns show a general value of from $25 to $40 in gold per ton. The Company's mill has recently started up on ore from this property and the company has been working on 40 stamps more have been ordered and will be put in place at once, thus making it a 50-stamp mill. This property was bought for $11,000 cash one year ago and today is worth $250,000. Call or address WM. R.
