The Appeal

ISBN, Oct. 12—Scientific progress is about laying to destroy another of the world's cherished beliefs. Scores of pet ideas and illusions have been the last few years without causing anything much more serious than a violent mental wrench. But this time it means something vitally serious for one great nation and almost as serious for the whole world. The end effect it means that one of the commonest similes used by all civilized nations will become an anachronism. Unlike British engineers can find a way to the test and universal saying, "As strong as the earth, as strong as meaning, for British military experts themselves, as well as the experts of many other powers, are declaring that Gibraltar the famous, still considered by almost all the world to be the strongest ever was, is nothing but a hollow fraud. "A honeycombed deathtrap," one British officer has called it within a few weeks. The modern long-ranged rifted gun has done it. The couchant jacket, Jebel Al Tarik, that is invincible only a decade ago, has been replaced with that any one could bring to bear on it. now is in easy range of rifted guns from surrounding forts—not merely great guns like the twelve and sixteen-inch rifted, but guns of calibers as small as six-inch, while the big guns can reach it easily. Naturally it is a subject that neither the British nor their enemies aim to discuss notily or publicly. The British can only hope to devise some way, unseen by them as yet, of fending off this new and real menace. Their enemies hope to get some sort of weapon to the owners of Gibraltar are ready for them. France has been stirring violently with Spain in the hope of obtaining a grant of land for a station on some point within the French territory, but is been idle. Military attacks are reporting activity in many of the fortifications, some of which had been dismantled and practically abandoned. Great Britain has been trying to force Spain continues to fortify and mount ordnance on points that command Gibraltar it is of course plain that all such works are directed against the famous coast of Spain, and that cannot be held to be doing anything that she has no clear right to do, for manifestly she has the privilege of doing what she pleases on her frontier, even if so closely bound in the inch of Spanish ground around Gibraltar. The new attitude of Spain toward England was shown a few days ago when Spanish soldiers and cost guard tried to forcefully to prevent a detachment of Britons from the coast that had gone ashore on Spanish territory. There was a stiff fight, in which several men on both sides were wounded, and the end of the episode has not yet been determined, be the beginning of many others, because both sides are under a stiff strain. The new phase of affairs has come at an exceptional inopportune time, for the British are only just completing their great work of improving Gibraltar bay. It will commence stone moles that are nearly immune to the sea. The British provide shelter for the British men-of-waz and torpedo boats. The entrance to the harbor is being made proof against torpedo attack by an ingenuous and elaborate system of booms and moles. The moles are increased with a view to coaling any fleet that Great Britain might have to throw it to Mediterranean waters in time of war. A huge dock has been built to accommodate the biggest battleships, so that they can be dredged away, preventing it from entering the ports to Plymouth. Portsmouth. And now England realizes that all these improvements are directly under the fire of ordinarily good batteries from the Spanish fortifications of Algeciras, directly across the bay, and that guns there cover every surface of the bay. All the naval works and the entire western face of the rock itself by direct fire, while plunging shell could reach the northern face as well, and even send shells as far as the famous Europa Point batteries. And the British are now able to equally. The town of Dines de is Conception is only one-half mile from the northern batteries on the dock and only four miles from the most southern point of the great fort. Shell fire from that point and from fortifications on the mountain and Lines can sweep all of Gibraltar. Even from the African coast high power cannon can throw projectiles, that will go across the strait and fall on ol'-Gulf coasts. The cannon is a Brain, is situated on the northernmost extremity of Morocco and is on extreme seas, and is used for fortification. The Spandens must be permitted it to deterate, as they have permitted everything else to do. But France has had long eyes on Ceinton from the sea, and it has been announced that she had size THE APPEAL. ALGECIRAC GIBRALTAR BAY MEDITERRANEAN GIBRALTAR SEA STRAIT OF GIBRALTAR CEUTA CIRCLE SHOWS THE CANNON-FIRE ZONE OF WHICH GIBRALTAR IS THE CENTRE cured this place. It is situated directly opposite Gibraltar, and the strait between them is not fifteen miles wide. When it is not so wide, the new building in the United States under a new system by which it is expected to attain a range of more than twenty-one miles it will be seen that Ceuta is not a place to be viewed with unconcern by the British. For so many centuries the great fortress had been practically out of effective gun range that even experts who have seen it through the lesia that ordnance has made it possible to range have forgotten that the improvements in cannon were menacing Great Britain's boat. In past days the smoothie guns, even when they could fire fire enough, did not have enough penetrative rounds. The cannon could only regain the limestone face of the precipice. So despite the fact that modern military engineering abandoned stone work in ordinary fortifications long ago, Great Britain could continue to use the stone-faced brick, which could of the rock as being amply strong enough to withstand attack. But now, with the realization that they can all be reached by four, six and eight inch guns, not to mention the ample inch, or monsters like the sixteen-inch gun, plotted by the United States government, comes the realization that limestone is a scryery material for shelter for other men or guns. If a modern projectile struck the limestone, it would question as to whether the projectile itself or the smashed and flying stone would do the more harm. Men and cannon actually would be safer in open terrain than in the rock, and they would be behind stone. And with plosive shells the destruction would be terrific. The fact is that, perhaps unconsciously, the English have rested too confidently on the wonderful bombardment, unparalleled in history, that continued uninterrupted in history, for three weeks in 1818, increasing in importance at Gibraltar by eighty martyrs and 200 pieces of cannon mounted on land, directed by the best engineers of Spain and France who were allied in the attack. The British were also armed, guns were brought until 1,000 were surrendered — at the stock. The forty-seven ships of the line and ten enormous bombardment joined in. And they were forced at last to withdraw, having made no impression. The besieged lost only sixteen in killed and had only six-eight wounded. This was a wonderful record, and Conditions are changed entirely now. The batteries of Gilbraltar are separated into two great classes—the lower and the upper. The lower batteries are open to visitors, and there is little that is secret about them. They are not considered as by any means the highly important parts of the defenses. If them are many old smoothie gues, a good proportion of which are protected, then the batteries are kept guarded carefully, and visitors are permitted to see them only under many extremely strict conditions and under the guidance of a commissioned officer. Even then most of the most important amenations are shown. In these upper galleries the important batteries are protected with bombproof casements and hidden behind masks of concrete and metal. The most effective protection of all—arthroworks—cannex be used to any great extent on Gilbraltar for two reasons. One is that it is almost impossible to cart batteries to the upper gallery. The offer is that the formation and the configuration of the cliff precludes any really adequate system of this kind. Exactly speaking, the weakness of Gilbert does not lie in its liability to attack 'There are miles of caves and tunnels most of them still in a natural state and many still unexplored thoroughly and others perfect artifactry. These would have been lost from even the most deadly and long-continued bombardment. A siege of Gibraltar would have to be almed at starving out the besieged rather than at taking them back. The defenses by artillery fire. But Gibraltar merely as a fort of defense is not worth to Great Britain the powder to defend it. The great rock is useful to the empire and the enemy, and were drawn from the batteries and had to lie hidden the value of Gibraltar would be absolutely nothing. Only so long as its guns can command every foreign army and be silent any artillery that might be brought to play on the harbor is it worth a single penny. The moment that Gibraltar falls to protect the British navy when it lies in the Straits that moment as well be lost to the British empire. Now that guns are being built everywhere, in France, Germany, Spain and even Russia, that can fire either solid or bullet-shaped guns, they are less than six miles and rise as high as twenty miles, Gibraltar harbor, which is the really valuable 'and vital part of Gibraltar, is safe from attack only as long as the gun. Rock can wipe out any inhalable gun. The Spaniards have the advantage of lots of ground where they can construct earthworks. Those earthworks can be used to defend their land, or please. There is no limit to such work on the mainland. Great Britain does not and dare not calculate that Spanish gummer will always be as poor as it was in the Spanish-American war. Besides, Great Britain knows perfectly well that, even if her war should be with Spain, the chances would be preponderating that in reality the fighting French guns and French gunners. * Gibraltar is a menace to France far greater than it is to Spain. So long as it remains invincible and offers a base, a harbor, a civil station, a dry dock, a marine, a docking station, a port, France have to expect that her Mediterranean fleet never will be permitted to pass the Straits in time of war. With French guns and French gunners in earthworks to the west in Algelarus and in earthworks in Lines de la Concepción they would be bound to hit a mark and do business; for whatever opinion the world may have of modern French military and naval genius, their artillery is excellent and their gunners are good ones. This was proved to America when the batteries around Havana were manned by French soldiers, a common hamon. There was no fooling about them. French guns proved their effectiveness drastically to the British in the Boer war. They developed, aounding range and equally astounding accuracy of fire. Poisoned shells are the best in the world to-day. And if they do not hold absolutely the first rank in the heavier guns—from ten to sixteen inch—they are not far from the top, while the lighter guns are really better than anything that can be found elsewhere. The all-stain riffle cannon of large caliber of the United States probably are the best in the world. After then come the krump guns, it is believed that they are not as well fitted, justly fit with the Krupps. *i* blues. So, unless English orchance a, a fortification builders had a brilliant way out of the predicament, she shall be able to say hereafter "strong as Gibraltar." The shells are much more compared to a kiffle, with the point directed toward Africa, while Spain holds the handle. The knife blade itself is the rock, three miles from north to south and SOUTH PORT WHARE GIBRALTAR (IN THE BACKGROUND) MODERN SHIPDOCK GUNS OR ORIGINAL COLLISION COULD SWEEP GIBRALTAR FROM THE MOUNTAINS BEHIND LINEA DE LA CONCEPCION about seven miles in circumference, not quite as long as that section of Manhattan island from the battery to Union Island, and about ten miles east and north and downs to a low and narrow sandy neck of land that connects it with the mainland of Spain. This sandy neck is the neutral ground. A row of sentry posts is the southern edge of the similar row on the Gilbrator side marks its British boundary. Just beyond the Spanish line lies the town of Lineda in Concepcion, and there the ground helium is being stored in a natural theater for fortifications. This section is commanded from the steep north face of Gibraltar by a remarkable and bewildering system of galilee cliffs, which rise at immense cost. They are almost three miles long and are wide enough to permit a carriage to be driven through them. At distances of twelve yards they are pierced for guns. On the summit are barracks, most of which areifications, forming a system that extends from the base where the rock slopes to the Gibraltar harbor Along this west front are the town of Gibraltar, barracks, armament and powder magazines and most of the buildings. There are four and one-half miles wide from east to west. On the opposite or Spanish shore lies fortified, Algeciras, only five miles from the rock, and, therefore, within a range for even small cannon. The alarming developments about Gibraltar could not have come at a time more unpleasant. In the building of the new mule and the giant dry docks the British have been paying out $10,000 a brick. The new taxation law requires that a taxpayer was only just beginning to become reconciled to this and other vast expenditures by the information that Gibraltar promised soon to pay its own expenses from incomes derived from its own growing revenue collections, harrowing the tax system. Its rosy dream is shattered, if its Gibraltar is not safe, and millions or even tens of millions can make it safe, those millions and even tens of millions must be spent. Great Britain could no more think of Gibraltar than it could of trondoning Westminster. TUSKEGE mal and Industrial Institute: Gentlemen: During the present school year 1,253 students have been in attendance, and the average daily attendance has been 1,010. About one-third of the students remain young men. The average age has been 18%, and none have been admitted under 14 years of age, and unless they have had some academic background, they are to us from 29 states and territories, and from 6 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 attended by the small children from the school, and 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 during the day, with an attendance of 64 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 women who are in service. In this Defective Page 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 present attending the afternoon cooking school. 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 1,514 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 teachers, the capacity of officers, academic teachers, industrial instructors, assistants, clevers, etc. 169-person-s Since its beginning, 498 persons have received diplomas and certificates of graduation from its various departments, and these are at work in various fields 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 very large proportion follow the trade or industry learned at this institution, and many of them combine their industrial knowledge with teaching, while still others teach a portion of the year and work at their trade the remainder of the time. The calls that come to us almost tally, not only from the Negro race, but also from whites as well for our graduates and many for our undergrads, are many—more than we can supply. The calls from white people for our graduates to take charge of various departments of agriculture, are especially numerous. If we had the time to spend our time on unitaries for the greatest usefulness for many times more graduates than we are sending out. In accordance with a vote of the Trustees, Rev. R. C. Belford, one of our undergraduates, each year in making personal inspection of the work of our graduates and under-graduates, and one gratifying fact in connection with this inspection is that very few men and woman who have spent any considerable time at art institutions are to be found in luleness. 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 touch with the work of those students. 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, in various parts of the South. Especially is this true of the school known as the Snow Hill Industrial Institute, Snow Hill, Ala.; the Snow Hill Industrial Institute, Snow Hill, Ala.; the Christiansburg Institute, at Cambula, Va.; the Denmark Industrial School, at Denmark, S. C., as well as several others. It is a notable and encouraging fact that the schools at Snow Hill and Denmark are in starting and encouraging these schools have been Southern white men. THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: - It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. - It is not controlled by any ring or olus. - It asks no support but the people. aiming 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 their communities the benefit of their training. as as possible we are encouraging our graduates and others to introduce training in agriculture into the public schools of the South. This we think very important for the schools located in the small towns and rural districts. In this industrial training, we keep in mind the graphicizing of those industries at which the students can find immediate employment 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 women in such outdoor industries as raising and raising and raising and raising, is proving quite successful. This is especially true of poultry raising. Several of the new agricultural buildings mentioned in my last report have been completed, and we are now in need. Among them a heathery. This new building gives us the opportunity of teaching the raising of all kinds of poultry. We have made my friends whose gift manned it, possibly to erect the heathery, also enabled us to build a new barn for the dairy cows, and a new dairy house. All these buildings were much needed and put us in a position to do much more effective work. Dorothy Hall, the new Trades' Building for Girls, given us by friends in New York, to which I made referral, and was dedicated April 22, 1901. This is a very satisfactory building, and puts us in a position to give more effective training to girls than ever before. A friend in Boston has given us $2,000 to be used in the erection of a training school building, and another in Connecticut has given $4,000 for a hospital. Both of these buildings areresses of erection and are much needed. Mr. Morris K. Jesup, of New York, has given $5,000 for a new barn for horses and mules. This building is also in need of repair. Mr. Andrew Carnegie has given $20,000 for a new library building, which is also in process of erection. In connection with all these buildings we are sticking to our original idea of having a new library done by the labor of the students. In many respects this has been our most prosperous and encouraging year. The report of the Treasurer will show our financial condition in detail. The report of the Treasurer will show large meetings held in Boston, New York and Philadelphia and other centers, the interest in our work has not only been kept alive, but has grown and broadened. FINANCIAL. The total amount of money received for general expenses has been $112,782.20. Of this amount, $112,104.24 has been used to meet the current expenses of this year, and the remainder to meet prior obligations and for permanent equipment. The Treasurer will show that the institution will be able to meet debt, and friends can feel assured that whatever they give will be used for forwarding the work of the school, and not in meeting debt. Since my last report we have re improving the plant, $28,008.25. At the time of my last report The Endowment Fund amounted to $155- 222.49. Since that time this fund has been increased to $252,717.02. The whole of this fund is invested in safe and conservative securities by our En- dowment 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 re- ceived upon our Endowment is about 41% of the total amount received from all sources, for all purposes, $312,529.08. It now costs annually to operate the institution in all its departments not far from $100,000. The annual financial expense we are now assured of the following amounts: $1,600 from the Peabody Fund. $800 A. U. A., Boston. $2,000 from students' entrance fees. $20 from the John F. Slater Fund. $270 from the Home Mission Association, of Boston, as well as several other smaller amounts. Added to these is the interest of our Endowment Fund, which is about $11,100, thus making a total of $32,070 that we will pay to make the reasonable certainty, leaving approximately $8,000 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 indulgence, Sunday 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, machinery and other improvements of the school. Two-fifths of the total amount received during the past two years has gone into the permanent plant and Endowment Fund. We have a right, I think, to point with pride to the small average cost of teaching our students. The total number of students being 1,514, and the total current expenses charged being about $10,000 brings the whole cost for each individual to $12. The greater proportion of what the students pay is in the form of labor. They pay their expenses in labor this year. $76,213. Every effort is constantly 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 being indebted to six friends, whose unrestricted generosity has lifted this burden from our shoulders and placed the institution in the position where it can accomplish much more good than has ever been true in its history. I am sorry that I cannot have the privilege to share their names, but this they forbid, for it is a rare and beautiful privilege for us to touch with those souls who hide themselves behind their deeds of generosity. Among our most pressing needs at present are the following: An Endowment Fund of at least $500,000 (towards which $250,000 has been secured), of $50 of 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 scholarship, the interest from which pays for the education of a student in time. Money in any 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. $10,000 for a drainage system. $10,000 for a drainage system. $12,000 for completion of Boys' Trades Building. $2,000 for Commissary Building. $10,000 for equipment of industries. $10,000 for an addition to Alabama Hall. MISCELLANEOUS. Since my last report we have lost by death, Mr. Henry C. Davis, of Philadelphia, trustees and most helpful friends. Mr. Huntington, of New York, has also passed away, Mr. Huntington's interest, began with the early history of the institution, and continued to increase till the day of his death. In him the museum lost one of its strongest friends. Perhaps the most important event (Continued on Fourth Page.)

One of the greatest, if not THE greatest bugbears of the color question, is "social equality." What is social equity? Is there any such thing? Because a black maa enters a public restaurant, sits down at a table, eats a meal, pays for it and goes on his way rejoicing, that does not make him the social equal of anybody who may be present. He is only enjoying a civil right that belongs to ANY citizen. No one, except the servants or attaches of the place, needs to speak to him, or acknowledge his presence in any way whatever, unless he feels disposed. Of course there are common, everyday courtesies which no LADY or GENTLEMAN would hesitate to extend or accept to or from another human being, should occasion require, regardless of color. This is not social equality. If a black man should go to the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, or any other public licensed hostelry in this country, he should be allowed to register, should be assigned to a room or suite as he might desire, should be allowed to take his meals in the public dining room or in the privacy of his own apartment, as he chooses, should be accorded all the rights, privileges, --- HE THOUGHT SO. Lawyer-I hardly think that you can get a divorce from your wife just because she throws things at the dog. You can throw time, she throws at the dog she throws. HE SAW IT. courtesies, etc., accorded to any other patron. Would this be social equality? If a black man wished to go by rail or steamer from Cincinnati to New Orleans all that should be necessary to make his passage as comfortable and agreeable to him as it might be for any other passenger should be his purchasing a first-class ticket. There need not be any "social equality." Social equality, if there can be such a thing, regulates itself. No one has to invite another to his house unless he wishes to do and the one invited does not have to go unless he wishes to do so. It was entirely unnecessary for Gov. Aycock, of North Carolina, in his address at the opening of the Afro-American state fair to tell his auditors "that social equality is an idle dream." We know that it does not exist among the whites and we are not chasing after the ignis fatus. All we want is civil rights, social rights and social equality will take care of itself. HOME FOR AGED AND INFIRM. There are twenty-four Afro-Americans ranging in age from 60 to 129 years now in the home for aged and infirm Afro-Americans, at 610 Garfield Boulevard, Chicago. They are dependent on the favors of the generous for their needs. Among these is Mrs. Ellen Stewart, who is supposed to be 129 years old. "The home is nearly four years old," said Mrs. Gabrielle Smith, the superintendent, in speaking of its work. She showed, the secretary, and I have been a friend of her. We had a home on Forty-seventh street, but that was destroyed by fire. Mrs. Bena Morrison, a noble, generous hearted woman, then made us a presetion, and we are now occupying, and she also furnished us. She donated in addition a house and lot on Fifty-seventh street, that reats for $14 a month, and that is all we have in shape of an endowment. I can't furnish a brittle reports of the work, for we are too poor to spare any money for printing. "It costs us about $3,100 a year to run the institution, and we have to depend chiefly on the donations of the charitable. "We are now in debt $1,400 for running expenses, and we are asking the big-hearted people of Chicago to help keep the home open for these helpdesk people. We are in debt last spring, but two noble women helped us out. We are appalling letters to thirty chefs who have been good one good down-a-town presacher sent his check for $5, but two other ministers said they could do nothing. We are now sadly in need of money, but if he really indulgent, but if he should refrain to supply us until we had made even a small payment, we would be helpless. We cordially invite inspection of the work, confident that every person has its worthiness of financial assistance." W. Camp is president of the home association, the work, confident that every person has its worthiness of financial assistance. The ways and means committee consists of James H. Porter, S. R. Johnson, Mrs. J. P. Stewart, Mrs. M. Dementierage and Mrs. J. C. Snowden. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER The home is a worthy institution. The Afro-Americans ought to support it. To help out the present need, we give $5. How much will you give, dear reader? The Chicago Dally News, one of the ablest and most influential independent papers of the country, has the following scathing and truthful editorial on the recent butchery of Afro-Americans in Louisiana. This arraignment of the Southern people does not come from a Republican journal, but emanates from a paper that is always independent in politics. The News' editorial in full is as follows, and it should be the whites of the entire South to blush with shame: The barbarous riot which broke out in a parish of Louisiana Sunday night between the whites and Negroes of the community is one of those occurrences that have been the subject by any of the usual sophistries regarding the inevitable allionation of races. It is the firmly rooted conviction of the Southern white that he belongs to the superior race. He demands that the race be considered in the calional subjection. He would be enraged at the suggestion that the man whom he contemptuously calls a "nigger" could be under any circumstances the equal of a white man. He would be enraged at the difference between the two races who is it that is first to resort to the shotgun and the torch? Who is it that violates the peace and overturns the law and sets out on a murderous crusade which ignores even the most basic principles? If the white men of the South would demonstrate their superiority why do they not leave murder and rapine to their alleged inferiors and content themselves with observing the usages of the race and not set an example to the race upon which they affect to look with contempt? When a black man does some wrong an Afro-American are condemned, but when one does something which must, in its nature, be recognized as being worthy of commendation he is said to be an exception to the rule, and no one but he receives any benefits. It's a poor rule that don't work both ways. An Afro-American, it is alleged, killed a white man last Saturday night in the vicinity of Haughville, Ind., and as a result fifty-seven white men employed as coremakers at the National Malleable Casting company's plant at Haughville, are on a strike because their demand that the Afro-American employees of the same department be discharged was refused by the company. The strikers say that it is only a question of a few days when the whole plant, which employs about 1,200 men, will be obliged to close down. To the credit of the company officials be it said, they declare they will close down rather than grant the outrageous demand. Booker T. Washington was thought by the President of the United States to be worthy of an invitation to dine with his family, but the result is that both the President and Mr. Washington have been roundly denounced and old ben tillmaa says a thousand of us will have to be killed before we will again learn our place. It seems we get the worst of it in any event. One of the good things which was brought on by the Roosevelt-Washington dinner incident was the following from the Faribault (Minn.) Democrat: "The Negro is here. It is our fault, as a people, that he is. It is better that he should be made a man than left a brute, and when anything can be done to encourage him in the right direction it is a good work. If the refined and the educated, like Mr. Washington, are encouraged, there will be more like him. Degrade him at every turn and he will remain as he is to the end of time. The Democrat has no condemnation for Roosevelt." Some practical Joker" secured a live oppossum and putting it in a crate sent it to President Roosevelt. On the crate was written, "From Booker T. Washington." Of course, every one knows Mr. Washington had nothing to do with sending the present, and no one better than the President himself, who will doubtless show his usual good sense by having a meal with "possum and sweet potatoes as the "piece de resistance" at an early day. And, if he wishes to further show his appreciation of the joke, he might invite Mr. Washington to dine with him on that occasion. The Southerners are already carrying out the prophecy of old ben tillman and are killing off the Afro-Americans. Nine of his thousand were killed at Balltown, La., Sunday afternoon. A large number were wounded and several may die. Only the day before an alleged ravisher was burned at the stake in the same place and this was the indirect cause of the above-mentioned massacre. Old ben has now only nine hundred and ninety more to get to make up his thousand. The color line will be the subject of the Yale-Princeton debate to be held at Princeton on December 6. The question will be on the resolution: "That the adoption of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States has been justified." Whichever way the debate goes it will doubtless be quite interesting and hotly contested. WOMENS FEDERATION A Southern Woman Presents the Very Best Views on the Subject. There has been considerable controversy pro and con regarding the admission of Afro-American clubs into the University, much has been written on the subject, the best presentation of the case comes from a southern woman, Miss Leonora B. McBach of St. Louis, as follows: To the Election Committee of the Deer Valley, Mo., October 19, 1974, a setting of the Missouri Federation of Women's Clubs is to be held a few days hence, at which some important question is to be addressed to the general federation are to be held. These are an amendment proposed by Georgia, advocating; that the general federation shall be composed exclusively of white women. Against this McBach has been protected, and offers a substitute invitation to the organization of the federation (a measure that was voted down at the last biennial meeting, whose main point is that each state should own its own rules of membership by which it should be admitted into the federation. In order to clear the issue from all extraneous questions, the Wednesday St. Louis, offers another substitute, and instructs its delegates to present the following questions: Should colored women be eligible to the general federation in those states in which they are eligible to vote in the state federation? This brings the house to a fore the house, and what is Missouri going to do about it? The question has been debated, with some warmth and some iness, in all the 'Missouri clubs, and in the district decide how she will put herself on record at the biennial meet next June. The issue can not be avoided. Every club did its best, no doubt, to find a solution of evasion, but failed, for the situation, Massachusetts sent a colored delegate to the president of the federation is a Georgia woman; so Georgia says: "This shall not be," while Massachusetts replies: "Let each state settle the Georgia, that will not be." so Georgia, "that will not be," or way, or I will secede, and the solid South, no doubt, will follow Georgia's lead. But Massachusetts will not, she declines the honor; and, if the Georgia amendment is adopted, Massachusetts allowed by New England, Ohio, and Illinois to do out. Either way there seems no outcourt. Either way less one side of the other surrenders, which is not likely, and so a federation composed of 400,000 women, who have worked in harmony heretofore, or into a divided body of North and South. It is a great pity, and it seems strange enough that this ancient issue should come up among the women to be fought over again, and argued about the old refuted arguments, as if history had not, and its verdict, writ large in blood not, and of the times, were invisible in one eye. But, it is said, the colored people have equal rights before the law (the burgings and scourgings that are a national degradation being ignored); they then into our homes and marry them into our sons and sons; Would that "inherently follows" they so irresistibly attractive that the bringing of a few colored delegates in HE KNEW.

Edith—Granville, dear, papa, is going to give us a check for a wedding present. Granville—Suggest to him, sweetheart, that he have it certified. It's a regularustom when a contract is made. to a business meeting that comes together only once in two years, would immediately disrupt our homes and impose a toughness. It is the old argument of Douglass, who before the war, and one of the signi-f proofs of its futility lies in the fact that since the Negroes were freed their color has grown blacker. However, this is but the entering wave of Georgians. Mix the races here and you will find where. Not at all, say the Massachusetts folk. We need not even admit them to individual clubs. These are composed of persons who move in the same social circles. There are thousands of our own visiting lists, no matter what we happen to know these and not those. We don't come in contact with them and there is no reason why they should join our clubs, be it the Wednesdays or the Sundays, it comes to a representative meeting in two years, of women from all over the country, few of whom ever heard of one another, it is quite a different matter. To draw the color line there, and not only that, but for one state to draw the color line, we must attend of other states, is a step distinctly backward, a retrogression to tyranny. With the inconsistency so symptomatic of a wrong cause, the other side is brought forward. Far from being in trouble, women have guded that Negro women, especially in the black belt, are ignorant and flimy in their personal habits, and that to them is sufficient to establish their ineligibility. Why, of course, but what has this to do with the case in hand? Aren't there millions of white folk with the same wisdom to come in contact? Women who live in ignorance would not be apt to form clubs, nor would they wish to join a federation, nor would they pass the scrutiny of its executive committee. This is the case, for example, this class that Massachusetts sent to Milwaukee. On the contrary, even the most prejudiced admit that she was an ignorant woman. So the props are knocked from her. Yet very artificial feet of this argument. Others maintain that colored women don't care a bit about the matter; that it is simply the stubborn obstinacy of Massachusetts that insists on breaking up the federation even if she has to ransack the state to find colored women. It is better, they plead, that half a dozen women should be excluded than that the good work of 400,000 women in harmony should be disturbed. To this the only answer need be. One man in the right and God make a majority. But it may be added that, one there must not half a dozen persons, one there must not half a dozen presidents, the possibility that any one may, is an immense incentive. To be barred from any position whatever by so superficial and empty a matter as color is an injustice that sinks deeper. It is our fault that the Negroes are among us. They were brought here by force and kept under cruel duress. Now, when they try to climb it is our part as women of a Christian to push them back, saying, "Keep away! Don't touch me!" I have none of you. But there are those quite willing to declare plainly that they don't want colored women in the federation, because they won't have it; that the fact of color stigmatizes a race as inferior, that they won't associate with it; that it is not their minds are made up, and they will brook no meddling with it. Of course, to this declaration of promise, the only answer is the declaration of those on its side are made up, too, and they have buoyant support in the fact that history proclaims theirs to be the side of victory. The great lesson is that the French revolution has been, "All ye reers open to talent." Are we women of America, and its best exponents as we claim, going to throw the weight of our federated strength against those few weak women, whom we, as a race face, have cruelly wronged, and who yet are, hopefully to our level? When they are against every obstacle the education and refinement that we have almost been born into, shall we say even then. No; you shall share the very best of our advantages? It is incredible. No; you shall share the most and最具 influential club in Missouri on selfishness on the right side; not perhaps because its members have no prejudice against colored folk, for many of them were brought up in the traditions of slavery, but because their principles are strong, but because their principles are strong, and seeing the right, they must fight. It is the true American spirit. While we fought for the liberation of Cuba had small admiration or even liking, but they were human beings and we had them tortured within our hearing. It was the same way during the civil war. The North was not enamored of the North's endeavor, indeed, what it had far less thought of than had the South; but it fought and bled and died for the cause of freedom, and history records its triumph the pure opinion of the world has but never heard. This is the crushing reply to those who say that to disregard the color line in such matters as this of the mission is too ideal a position for practice; it is too realist a position realized forty years ago, and the are going to try to reverse the elite, and side with what was justly defeated, what the whole world condemns. Missouri is now more in the world's eye than for a long time; she will be increasingly conspicuous for the next four years. Now is her opportunity. Years ago, she was a handful of brave spirits from throwback to wrong side in the civil war; let her now declare her advance in this war of women, forty years after men could be heroes and proclaim herself overwhelmingly on the justice, equity, principle and right. It is moved that Missouri instruct bets delegates to vote at the biennial meet in the state. The proposition: All clubs without distinctions admitted into the general federation if they are members of the federation or are not members of some Second? LEONORA B, HALSTER MES HANNA AIDS SINGERS Supports Three American Girls While They Study in Paris Paris, Oct. 20.—United States Senator Hanna's wife lately visited Mme. Hanna, to ascertain what progress is being made by two of the latter's pupils, American girls whom Mrs. Hanna has supported here for the last two years who are often studying music. Mrs. Hanna has also promised singing, a contritto from Washington, the finest type of octoon, aged twenty, named Lydia Lelain. Miss Lelain became engaged aboard on the voyage from America to an Englishman of propossessing manners, but after investigation Mrs. Hanna had her beautiful protege that the fellow had sent her. There was quite a little tragedy, for Miss Lelain's impulsive love died hard. But finally, when Mrs. Hanna was the point of sailing back if she remained the girl, a girl announced that the worst was over; she would henceforth devote herself solely to study. Mme. Marchess says the octoon's voice is a "perfect wonder." Self was the worst seed in Adam's ap- pear. Toward God it is self-will, which is hardiness of heart. That is which is hardness of heart.

JULIAN BURROUGHS' CHOICE Writer and Nature Student Lives on L-See Grape Farm. The name of John Burroughs, the charming writer and nature student, is doubtless familiar to most of our readers. Mr. Burroughs, on his little 5-acre grape farm near Schenectady, N. Y., surrounded by his woods, fields, birds and flowers, manages to gain more comfort and satisfaction out of life than the average millionaire. He has gone a long way toward mastering the delicate art of appreciating and cultivating the friendship of nature. It will be news to some who have enjoyed Mr. Burroughs' books to hear that he OUTLOOK. moved heze, an' we wants ter see if he kin has a son, Julian Barroughes, who has found his father's mode of life so ideal and attractive that he has decided to adopt it for himself. Last month Julian was graduated from Harvard University. He is probably the only one of his class who intends to take up farming. Passing by the glitter and attraction of a commercial or professional career, into which most of his father's interest entered, he father's father's life there in study and labor near to nature's heart. At college he made a speciality of the English branches to fit himself as a writer and a student of literature. He will take his culture and educations back to the farm, where he will lead the life of a simple rustic. SUMMER writing books and articles for magazines, with nature as his material. Young Burroughs is fond of hunting and fishing. He is of a strong, athletic build. At Harvard he won some distinction as an oarsman. While his weight is only 130 pounds, he was considered one of the best single oarsmen in the university. At the metropolitan regatta last year he captured first place in the junior race. He also had a good college would think the life of the young Burroughs has chosen a slow one, and that he is not making the most of his education, but Julian points to the calm, delightful life of his father and says that is enough to satisfy him.—Young People's Weekly. Paying the Lecturer Mr. Wescott, the author of "David Harum," possessed a barytone voice which, he had chosen to cultivate it, might have brought him greater reputation than he obtained through his writings. In the Literary Era Miss Helen Candee tells an amusing story of one of Mr. Westcott's musical exertions: he took to sing at a concert in one of the town squares of western New York. On this functory jauce he was saved from such a hotel as that which insulted John Lennox, by the hospitality of the men who organized the concert, a person of much local importance. The affair passed off satisfactorily, with the help of the visitor's rare voice. As Mr. Westcott was about to retire, his wife, Emma, from bearing two long paper boxes. "I think she early in the morning to go to my factory," he explained, "that I am afraid I may not see you, but I want to give you something for your singing tonight. Now, here's two pair of the very best whaleboncorsets that our factory turns out, and I want to take them home with you." When I found that he could not even protest the sense of humor came to his relief, stalked home the next day with two pairs of corsets in exchange for his songs. "Youth's Companion." His Pun Shooked Him Oscar Hammersstein can be found almost any night sitting on a chair outside his theater on Seventh Avenue. He was enjoying a cigar there the other evening when he was approached by an actor who had been employed by him, but who had been on a long debauch, and who, in the parlance of the part, too," Hestiachus told the asked Mr. Hammersstein if he would be given $5, promising he would use it to sober and get himself back to his old self. Mr. Hammersstein gave him the amount, and after profuse expressions of gratitude the actor remarked: "Mr. Hammersstein, this is the most humid moment I have had in a month. "I guess this is a 'lose it' moment, for them," replied Mr. Hammersstein. He looked humid around, but he had been heard—New York Times. The value of the recipe lies partly in its being accurately set down and followed. Harper's Magazine has the following directions for making a breakfast delicacy called popovers, as they were imparted by the Chinese and Japanese cooks in the family: "You take him one egg," said the master of the kitchen, "one lit cup milk. You fixe him one cup fouon sieve, take pinch salt—you not put him in lump. You move him egg lit' bit slow; you put him milk in, all time move. You make him fouon go in, not move fast, so have no spots. Makee him fouon, put it in a pot. Put he him in oven. Now you mind you business. No like woman run look at him all time.

George Hawkins, the Afro-American janitor at one of the police stations, who shot and killed Thomas Skidmore several weeks ago on Dearborn street near Twenty-ninth, has been indicted for the murder, a sprawl in for fear and is now in jail awaiting trial. Skidmore, the deceased, was a soldier in the late war with Spain, having served in the Eighth Illinois Volunteers under the Army. He and comrades of the late soldier are taking much interest in the prosecution of Hawkins. That W. S. Cleveland's new theater on Van Buren street, between Wabash and Michigan avenues, will soon become the real, fashionable amusement theater of the city. There is not a safer or handsome theater anywhere else on earth. The great building in which it is located has the advantage of answering the law's pressure on the public to show its four sides. If speculation be true that Manager Cleveland's great success has caused the owner of the edifice to already consider the feasibility of a theater to a, 2,000 seating capacity shortly in the future, which can be accomplished very easily, the value of the reality would be increased to nearly, if not quite, the one million mark.

TREAT BROS 100 E. 4th St. novelites. The scenery and costumes are entirely new, and the twenty chorus girls are said to be pretty and charming, but the costumes are termed "High School Girls". It is a hilarious affair with but little plot, plenty of music, wittitude, song and dance, general jollification. The first act is a dance, and the second a vaudeville turns. Among those taking part may be mentioned Aggie Behler and company in an entirely new singing and dancing novelty, Le Roy and the Mafia, and Gilbert, travesty stars; Markey and Stewart, Irish monologue and parody singers, and the Harpers, coon singers, cake-walkers and dancers. The closest pair is the Gilbert and Chinatown," showing a genuine society opium den, handsomely lavished with the glittering and luxurious magnificence of the celestial orient, in full view of the opium and real victims, which will make a finale seldom witnessed on the burlesque stage. Mr. Henry Watterson has added himself to the pack which has opened full cry on President Roosevelt for inviting Dr. Booker T. Washington to his table at the White House. This, he says, is a trickly editor insists, means social equality and social equality means mixing the races, and this mixture the destruction of the white race. If Mr. Watterson will keep his eyes on the race, he will be Louisville, a city where the Afro-American has never had social equality, he will be forced to admit that social inequality has not prevented the success of the two races. Every Southern thoroughfare is witness to that fact. Keep a race downtrodden, cut off from advantages, treated as in俯卧 and of a lower caste and its women will be the inevitable and often unwilling prey of men of the superior race. That under serfordism, more under serfordism than under ignorant freedom, worse under ignorant freedom than under educated freedom, but it will exist. All history has written this recurrent event is held to an inferior social status. Every Southern observer agrees that this sad evil has decreased with the advance of the Afro-American in property, education and self-respect—Philadelphia Press. TUSKEGEE, (Continued From First Page.) 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 "Ogden Party," came here as the guests of Mr. Robert C. Ogden, one of our brothers, and I feel sure that their visit 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 training in some branch of industry as 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 feel that agriculture should be made, a very large degree, the basis for our work, and the most important to the industry, race will largely rest upon its ability and willingness to secure and cultivate properly the soil. I believe that everything possible should be done to enlarge and increase the efficiency of our agricultural department. In this collection, I am glad to add that arrengements, to have been made, to reserve three acres of land and the training school to be used in giving agricultural training to the smallest children. My feeling grows stronger each year that perhaps in the heat of passion, growing out of racial and sec- ing in prejudices, we have not always given the southern people due credit for the imminent need for the development of theிரmed the Negro during the period that he was a slave. The Negro as a slave was started on the foundation of agriculture, mechanics and household arts. Brush it thoroughly and hard, and While I would by no means limit his in the cases and academic and religious training, I believe we that I find it helpful for a number of seats to see in our methods of education, to give great attention to these fundamental occupations. In proportion as one owns the soil and has the mastery of these fundamental occupations, in the proportion does he lay the foundation of 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 encounters patriotic and conservative citizens that present conditions are not disturbed by hasty, racial and unnecessary legislation.
