The Appeal

THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: to publish all the news possible. no impartially, wasting no words. students are able and energetic. TUSKEGEE Annual Report of Principal Booker T. Washington. VOL.17.NO.49 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 teaches the students. The students is attended by the small children from 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. The school is located in the town of Tuskegee, which has an 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 students. 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 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 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, in the capacity of officers, academics, 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 fields of usefulness in every part of the Society. 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 the work 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 we are now able to 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 daily, not only from the Negro race, but also from other departments to enter various fields of usefulness, 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 room and means, we could and opportunity to be the greatest usefulness for many times more graduates than we are sending out. In accordance with a vote of the Trustees, Rev. R. C. Bedford, one of our trustees, is spending a portion of the work of our graduates and under-graduates, and one gratifying fact in connection with this inspection is that very few men and women who 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 surprising and interesting variety in various parts of the South. Especially is this true of the school known as the Mt. Meigs Institute, at Waugh Ala; the Snow Hill Industrial Institute, Snow Hill, Ala.; the Christiansen Institute, Denmark; Denmark Industrial School, at Denmark, S. C., as well as several others. It is a notable and encouraging fact that in the case of the schools at Snow Hill and Denmark, that the prime move of these schools have been Southern white men. More and more each year we are aiming to secure the most promising students from a wide section of territory and to so train them that they return to their homes and give their 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 think 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 can find immediate employment as soon as they leave us. GROWTH AND EXPANSION OF WORK. The experiment when we began try THE APPEAL. ing some two years ago of giving training to a portion of our young women in such outdoor industries as gardening, horticulture, dairying, be-raising and poultry raising, is proving true of poultry raising. Several of the new agricultural buildings mentioned in my last report have been completed. All of these were buildings greatly needed. Among them a henryn. This new building gives us the opportunity fowls in the best manner. The same building gives us the friends whose gift made it possible for us to erect the henryn, also enabled us to build a new barn for the dairy cows, and a new dairy house. All three of these buildings were much needed and put us in a position to do more work. Dorothy Hall, the new Trades' Building for Girls, given by us by friends in New York, to which I made reference in my last report, is completed and was dedicated April 22, 1901. This is a very satisfactory building, and is in a position to give more effective training to 3 girls 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 are designed for 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 being constructed. This building has given $200,000 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 practically all of the work done by the labor of the students. This has been our most prosperous and encouraging year. The report of the Treasurer will show our financial condition in detail. Very largely through the medium of large meetings held in Boston, New York and Philadelphia and other centers, we in our work has not only been kept alive, but has grown and broadened. FINANCIAL The total money received for general purposes this year has been $189,782.30. Of this amount, $112,104.34 has been used to meet the current expenses of this year, and the remainder to meet prior obligations. The report of the Treasurer will show that the institution is practically free from debt, and friends can feel assured that whatever they give will be used for 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 improving the plant, $288,008.25. Since last year the Endowment Fund amounted to $158,224.49. Since that time this fund has been increased to $252,971.02. The whole of this fund is invested in safe and conservative securities by our Enfield 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 the Endowment is about 4½ per cent. The total amount received from all sources, for all purposes, $121,523.08. It now costs annually to operate the school—it's 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. $1,400 from the "Peabody Fund." $800 from A. M. Fund. $2,000 from students' entrance fees. $12,000 from the John F. Slater Fund. $270 from the Woman's Home Mission Association, of Boston, as well as other amounts. Added to these is the fund of our Endowment Fund, which is about $11,000, thus making a total of $22,070 that we can depend upon with reasonable certainty, leaving approximately $88.00 to be used for the school; the current expenses of the school. This money is secured mainly in the form of small gifts from indian 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 plant. Two-fifths of the total amount received during the past two years has gone into the permanent plant and En- gineering. 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 $12,000, the current expenses charged being $1,000, the people bring the whole cost for each individual to $73. The greater proportion of what the students pay in the form of labor. They have paid toward the expenses in labor this year, $7,291.15. Every effort is constantly being made to reduce the expenses of the institution, and to exercise the strictest control over them. At this point I cannot refrain from mentioning our indebtedness to six friends whose quiet, unrestricted generosity has lifted this year a great burden from our shoulders and placed them under our care. It can accomplish much more good than has ever been tried in its history. I am sorry that I cannot have the pleasure of giving their names, but I am proud to be one of them. (Continued on Fourth Page.) HE IS A MAN. Reverend Dr. J. R. Slatery Defends the Afro=American. "Let Him Have a Man's Chance, Fair Play and No Favor" Says the Head of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Seminary, of Baltimore.—From the New York Journal, Copyright 1901 by W. R. Hearst. President Theodore Roosevelt. No essential difference exists between the manhood of the Negro and the manhood of the Caucasian; not even, indeed, in the minds of the worst enemies of the progeny of Ham. A manhood of the Negro owes eyes in the ubiquitous mutuos, quadroons, octoons—the offspring of both races, capable of having children by either or both. It is curious to note how men who are sane on every other subject speak of the white race as superior, and the black race as inferior, OF GOD. Strange twist of an honorable legal dictum! Evolution should once and forever put an end to such a blasphemy. Far near the truth is it to Pr Who Makes a Stro hold that man was at first black, and that the whites are a bleached-out race. As the word "ADAM" may mean a man as opposed to a woman, a man as opposed to a woman, a man as opposed to a woman, there can be no loophole left in the biblical legend of creation from which to look upon the first man as white. In the next place, the Negro has finally qualified us to build good citizenship and healthy morality. Self-respect may be first mentioned. In the South a Negro tramp is a very rare exception, and in the North practically unknown. If we get Afro-Americans to go to hospitals and kindred institutions. No anarchists are numbered among them; no unruly strikers. Again patience is a marked trait in the Negro race. To-day, indeed, it seems dark for the black man, because the South is laboring to rob him of his vote. But we may be perfectly sure that in the Negro will accrue a fresh and let us hope, and triumph. "Violentia non durat." The Negro's cheerfulness is a splendid gift of the race. Under any and all circumstances he is gay and happy. Give him three meals a day and he will be cheerful to them but two and he is just as happy. Let him have but one and the everlasting smile still broadens his countenance. If eight millions of my race—the Irish—were in the South to-day, and had to put up with what the Negroes endure, instead of cheerfulness, they would be war and rebellion. How differently the Negroes during the past three hundred years have acted toward the South, from the uprisings and contentions which England has met with from the Irish since the days of Elidabeth. Bad as was Irish slavery in Canmore's time, it was vastly less than Annegro slavery in our Southland. To self-respect, patience and cheerfulness may be added gentlemanliness. Cardinal Newman defines a gentleman as one who never wounds another. Cardinal Newman certainly is not given to resentment. He press ascribes to him bloodthirsty conduct in some outbreak or other. But when the air is cleaned and more trustworthy reports of alleged Negro President Theodore Roosevelt Long Arraignment of Anarchy in his First Mees What the Negro asks is fair play and no favor. Let him have a man's chance. In courts let him receive justice. A Southern banker, speaking to me one day, said that "If white men will go to court, it is morally certain that the ten white men will go gcot free, while the ten black will be sent to jail." In Baltimore, a few days ago, the students of a medical college mobbed the police so badly that the response had to be called out. Yet of the eight who were arrested, only one was fired, and he but one dollar and coins. But when four or five Negro boys are caught playing crape they give to the station house quietly and are fined from five to ten dollars each. Fair play again demands that Negro laborers should receive cash in payment for their hire. Store pay is wholesale in the South and the North, and are valuable to their employers. Fair play reprobates the stockades and convivies farms of the South. Therein the Negro must work out his fine and cost of maintenance at a rate agreed upon before the contract is signed. In one case which we know of this rate was fixed at ONE CENT PER WORKING DAY. Lastly fair play demands that bona-fide deeds be given to the Negro when he buys land. alt. message to Congress. unions responsible in great measure for the tardiness of the Negro race. They deny trades to the negroes. The most dangerous classes of the least advanced nations of Europe, when dumped upon our shores, ply their trades, which their offspring also learn. This is why the Negro is the greater labor. But the Negro—the child of the soil—is barred out. On the one hand he is found fault with because he is idle; on the other, let him ask for a job in a factory, or another job in a factory; in a store, the black skin is the insurmountable barrier. Alas, no greater curse can the Almighty inflict upon a man than to make him black Petersburg, Va.

The Second Baptist Lyceum had a special service song by the famous Amphilip Glee Club under the direction of Prof. J. Henry Lewis, last Sunday. Representative Rixey, of Virginia, has introduced a bill providing for the direction of a memorial bridge across the Potomac at Washington at a cost not to exceed $5,000,000. The President has appointed Crosby S. Noyes one of the trustees of the District Reform school. Mr. Noyes has been one of the trustees of this institution since October 18, 1886. He has been reappointed for a term of three years. Mr. Noyes is the editor of the Star. For the first time in thirty years 10,000,000 Afro-Americans are without representation in Congress. This condition will not, of course continue propaganda in the south disfranchising afro-Americans in the south will keep the Afro-American down for a while, but hell rise again. Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, has introduced a bill in Congress giving a territorial form of government to the citizens of the District of Columbia. The bill proposes that legislature of the Territory of Columbia pass a Senate and House of Representatives, Senate to be composed of eleven and the House of twenty-two members. The Bethel Literary Society, which was founded in 1881 by Bishay Payne, of the A. M. E. Church, had a splendid meeting Tuesday evening. Rev.

Savoy has been appointed chief messenger to the Secretary of State at $1,000 per annum to fill the position caused by the death of William Gwennan, a veteran employee of the State Department and his rise has been gradual but steady. In July, 1871, he was appointed a page in the State Department at $15,000 a month by Secretary Hamilton Fish, and he promoted to higher grade by Secretaries Frelinghuysen, Sherman and Day. Since June 15, 1888, he has been appointed a page per annum. He accompanied the American delegation to the Paris peace conference and served the .commission faithfully throughout its sessions from September 1888 to December 24, of the same year. As the district of Columbia and has established a high record for efficiency and reliability. Flower thieves, many of them women in smart, fashionable attire, played havoc Monday at the Capitol with the doral tribute intended by admiring congressmen. After the House hadjourned for the day the doors leading into the lobby were thrown open and the great crowd of men and women been surging in the corridors and owing their allegiance to the afternoon made a break for the lobby. They picked up a bouquet here and a basket there, and without hesitation they took the possible consequences walked off the floor concerned as though they were their own. Several women were caught by Capitol policemen as they were leaving Beauty roses, the armfuls of American beauty roses, and several hundred dollars' worth of flowers were purlined. There were no Afro-Americans in the crowd. When Mr. Theodore Swayze resigned his position as Chief Clerk of the Treasury last spring, Secretary Gage appointed Mr. Wallace H. Hills to all the place, with the understanding that Mr. Swayze will be the place to Mr. Swayze on his recovery. Now thinks that his heath is in good condition and that he is able to take upon himself the responsibilities connected with the office. He therefore asked Mr. Swayze to leave having his old place again. Mr. Swayze fulfilled the duties of the office with great credit to himself and the entire satisfaction of the Treasury authorities, and Mr. Gage found it a painful experience of days, and after consulting with Mr. Swayze, his secretary appointed him a special empire the Customs Service, with headquarters at Baltimore, with headquarters at Baltimore, with headquarters.

Mrs. Lucy Jackson, who gives her age as 100 years, was an inmate Saturday at the House of Detention. She is a native of Auburn, a, and as a young girl there remember being seen George Washington. She is the home of Frederick Bond, her mother on R street, near Seventh street, and before yesterday. She was picked up last night. Thirteenth and P streets by a police man, and before she arrived at the House of Detention her feet were frozely on the ground under treatment, and if her feet were not reclaim her, will be sent to the house. She says the daughter of her old mistress, Mrs. Nelson, is yet living with S. C. The old woman, a warm bed last night at the House of Detention and talked to the matron. "I remember," said she, "when Gen. Washington came to Culpeper for a bathe. He went to a barber shop in the inn he had to have, and I followed him. He smiled at me, and my master, Richard Norris, in Virginia, I went to the Nielson family of South Carolina. They put me in the cotton fields, but afterward made me a house after the war was over I was freed, and after the war was worked for Massa Nelson. After I earned enough money I came back to Culpeper to find some of my children." Mrs. Jackson lived with her granddaughter there and later carte to Washington. The old woman is half Indiana, the other was an Indian and her mother was a negress. Her appearance is neat and negress with the matron of the House of Detention was interesting. Her checkbones are extremely high and her color is a dark red. She resembles an Indian in Negro. This coming Christmas day she claims, she will be 110 years of age. The old woman remembers "Andy" Jackson, as well as "Stonewall" Jackson. She told of hearing, while she was the Nelsons, of the coming of "Yankee" man on his march to the sea.

Bartle, I's author, as successfully transterred to. the stage, will be prokented at the Grand Opera House for the first time in this city at popular prices. The comedy ran through an entire season in New York, having exactly three -htmdred performances, every one of which was given to a standing-room audience. Never until “The Little Minister” ac: complished it has any play suceceded in attracting, night after night, with- out missing” a single» performance, audiences that claimed absolutely the capacity of the house. It has gained Ms tremendous favor by reason of Its pure, charming and simple story, told m the same fascinating way on. the stage that Mr. Barrie told it in the book. “Lady Babbie,” rougish and bubbiing over with mischief and fun, but with a true Tittle heart, is. Its heroine, and the play presents her as if she ‘had just ‘stepped out. of the pages of the novel. All the quaint and picturesque characteristies of the ‘Thrums elders and their associates are preserved in the mimic panorama of Scotch life, and “The Little Minis. ter” Is the yeritable ordained young gentleman himself, as interesting and Sentimental as “Lady Babble” found him. ‘The role of Lady Babbie wil be dssumed by Miss Frances Stevens, an actress of admitted talent and abil: ity and will be supported by a strong acting company, including. the well known playehs:' Horace Mitchell, W. €.

The Khartoum merchants were the first to discover these hidden reserves of ivory.

The bridge was almost finished, and was ready to turn over to the railroad people in a week or two. It had three camel-back spans, and its pliers were supposed to be on blue hardpan. A coffer dam had been built over one of the filled up with concrete and cement. Big, solid blocks of stone had been put upon that. We had been given the foundations for it all right, and wed put our iron work on that. There was a big traveler up, and when the pler gave, and two spans crumbled with a crack, the traveler, of course, came down. One rode the traveler as a fall hanging on to a cord (of steel).

"The proverbial fondness of ducks for water would lead one to presupose that of all the world the most destitute of ducks would be the Sahara Desert, and that if a stray 'springtail' happened to drift into that region he would either vamose or turn up his toes with briefest delay. Well, not at all," said a Frenchman, who was formerly a resident of Tunis, to the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "There are parts of the desert where ducks abound, flourish and multiply with every evidence of perfect satisfaction. The towl is slightly different from any of the varieties we know in this country, but it has the same flat bill, extensive breast and web feet, showing that it was once a water bird, though now it scarcely finds enough to drink and has become too provident to waste the precious fluid in ablutions.

Ivory from the Congo Only a small proportion of the ivory annually exported from the Congo is taken directly from newly killed animals. Thus, during 1899, of the 29,95 tusks sold on the Antwerp market, 8,539 alone came from freshly harvested animals, remaining 21,446 tusks being what the Congo called "dead ivory." For centuries the aforeigners have been collecting elephant tusks, which they considered as having little intrinsic value, but useful as articles of exchange. The Khartoum merchants were the first to discover these hidden reserves of ivory. Later on the Zanzibar traders rushed on to the Congo to collect the heart of the Congo, with the result that the ivory trade soon became the principal industry of the country. CITY NICKNAMES. Fifty Given in Various Municipalities in This Country. For years Buffalo's claim to the name, Queen City of the Lakes, has been hotly contested by Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and even Duluth, but no one could lay claim to the Bison city, by which it has often been designated. It now adds another name to its list, which will probably not be disputed—the Rainbow city, in defense to the exposition. Chicago during the period of the World's Fair was known as the White city, in acknowledged the staff on its fair buildings, but the city vowed to live the close of the fair, and it has severted to its former name, Garden city, although it is more frequently referred to as the Windy city. St Louis has, perhaps, the largest number of nicknames. It has been called the Iron city, the Mound city, the Beer city, the American Frankfort and the New Vienna. Years ago Rochester, N.Y., was entitled to the name Flour on account of its large pouring milk industry has long since followed the course of the empire and gone west. It longer claim that distinction. It is known, however, in these days as the Flower city, on account of the large nurseries surrounding it. Syracuse is known as the Salt city, although it is no longer the leader in that industry. Pittsburgh is the Smoky city, and Chicago and Cleveland might lay claim to the same name. Among the names which have been longest associated with American cities are: Gotham for New York, Bakeen for Bean; the Hub for Boston; Bologna for Philadelphia, Memorial city for Baltimore, Crescent city for New Orleans, and City of the Golden Gate for San Francisco—Mechanical Engineering.
