VOL.XXIX NO 46 EDUCATED NEGRO WOMEN ARE ASSAILED Miss Burroughs to the Rescue The Focus is a political weekly published in Louisville, Kentucky. The Editor is Mr. Denny B. Goode. In his issue of February 27, he devotes three columns to a discussion of "the Negro College." It will be remembered that the state decided that there could be no more co-education in Kentucky, and as a result of this decision, those who were in Berea College are sent elsewhere, and two hundred thousand dollars have been asked for, with which to establish what will be known as Lincoln Institute. Just before Lincoln's birthday, the promoters of the new school secured an option on a thousand acres of land, at Anchorage, a very beautiful village in the adjoining county to Louisville. The white citizens protested, and those who had promised to contribute to the new school fund, threatened to withdraw, if the Negro College was planted in this desirable locality. Mr. Goode has much to say in commending Mr. W. H. Newman, who by the way, is Editor of a Republican paper, for having suggested in classic sarcasm as Mr. Goode puts it, that "sleep at once must be taken to secure the colored troops for Louisville." We cannot give the entire article, but he declares. First—That he is a sincere friend to the Negro. Second—That no Negro College should be situated near a Southern city. Third—That Negro students who attend college, are of a class who cannot understand why color should create class distinction. Fourth—That educated Negroes think themselves superior to many white people. Fifth—That Negroes who have a classical education, yearn more and more for race equality. He says that there was a Negro at Berea who called upon a young white woman, and that this young woman had this Negro to meet a visiting friend of hers from the Bluegrass section, but that the girl would not compromise her self-respect, and so feigned illness. Sixth—That Negroes who attend this college, would walk on Fourth Avenue, and that this thoroughfare and others are designed exclusively for the white race. Seventh—That within a year buxom Negro wenches and their educated escorts would monopolize the parks and boulevards. Eighth—That the Black Plague is an outgrowth of classical education given to the Negro. Ninth—That Negroes are coming to Kentucky too fast, and that the next census will show that there are single rooms in this city housing between twenty and twenty-seven Negroes. Miss Burroughs read the attack, and immediately sent the following letter to the Editor of the "Focus." Louisville, Ky., March 18, 1909. Mr. Denny B. Goode, I have just read your article on "The Negro College" in the Focus of February 27, in which you announce that you are a "sincere" friend of the Negro race. I do not know your definition of a friend, but the statements that follow your profession bear the ear-mark of an enemy, of the Tillman-Vardaman-Dixon brand. Once an astronomer tried to convince a layman that the North Star was bigger than the Moon. The layman listened attentively to the scholar's argument and then meekly replied: "It may be so, but it has a mighty poor way of showing it." You may be our friend, but you have have an enemy's way of showing it. Why should a College of Liberal Arts and Science, for Negroes, be situated far from a Southern city? Negroes who attend such institutions are of a very superior type. If the "boasting bluegrass section" is fortunate enough to secure this school, it will find that the moral and intellectual status of the Negro people who live in the community will be improved. You state that the students who attend these Negro colleges cannot understand why color should create a class distinction. I confess I cannot understand it, and there are thousands of other people who cannot understand it. God Himself does not understand it, when He assures us that "out of one blood He created all nations." Character counts for all with us, and color counts for naught. Scholars have never yet found any psychological difference between the races. My race has responded to a very satisfactory degree, to the invitation to demonstrate its moral, intellectual and spiritual equality with other races. It is true that "in the average, we have not equaled your race in developed capacity," but it is also true that we have not had the time, you were using these assets in ing corn, picking cotton, and serving you without money or price, for two hundred and fifty years. During this time, you wer using these assets in educating yourself, building your your home, paying for your farm, and erecting schools. We have had but forty years, and during that time we have had barriers placed in our way, but we are marching on. We have not taken a "commanding part" in the constructive work of the world. It is our desire to do so. We feel that this is a laudable desire. Like other races, we want to contribute our part toward blessing the world in which we live. Your race is in the lime-light of civilization just now, but that fact does not argue inherent superiority. This is a historical fact. Unfriendly environments have impeded our progress. Fortunate circumstances have helped you on—but this relative superiority is only a transient phase of human development. History teaches the ascendency of races. Quite six races have ruled and reigned in the world before your day came. Subsequent development shows, however, that "though the Frances and Germans were roaming in the forest in the days of Aristotle," they were not inferior to the judge our shrirduialfh shrirdlrdurlum judge our doing capacity, by the accomplishments of the masses. The majority of any race is composed of ordinary folks, who simply do ordinary things. But in my race, as in yours, there are "choice individuals" that are adding, and will add to the world's civilization. I have visited nearly every Negro educational institution of any importance, and I have never heard any of the students arguing that they are as good as white people; indeed I have never heard any Negroes arguing that, except the trashy, loafing element that you see on the streets. They may indulge in such an argument, because they know their lives discredit any claims to decency, and so they compare themselves to the people who lay claim to superiority. Negroes are not worrying over the question of superiority half as much as you think they are. They are not seeking social recognition. They are not yearning for "social equality." Indeed, there is no such thing as social equality. There is no such a thing among your people, and there is no such thing among my people. You choose your own associates from any class you desire. We have a number of classes among us, from which we select our friends and our associates. The Negroes who thrust themselves upon your people, are of a class unrecognized by the better class of our people. It is not the college graduates whom you need to fear, but the ignorant, uneducated ones, or those who have a smattering of learning. The Negroes of learning and culture, who live in this city at this time, never think of seeking to associate with members of your race. They know the social customs, and above all, they have sufficient pride, and love for their own, ever to seek their own. I confess I have never heard a friend refer to our women as "buxom Negro wenches." I am sure you have never had any contact with educated Negro women—unfortunately you have seen only the "buxom Negro wenches," and according to the rating of our race, this class represents the sub strata of the race. Negroes who monopolize the side walks do not represent the educated, cultured class that I would like for you to see. We are building up our own social life, based upon character and culture, and we find ample social satis- WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., S. CONGRATS MORE ON THE NORTH Progress Do it now YOU CAN'T WRITE WITH A BILLARD CUE SONNY CORNER PLAZA ON THE NORTH CORNER PLAZA ON THE NORTH Euough Said MR. GURAN faction within the limits of our own race. You are not more averse to social mingling than we are. Social mixing is extremely distasteful to Negroes of culture. Perhaps you will remember that the Honorable Frederick Douglass, one of the greatest statesmen that this country has produced, the most eloquent and forceful speaker of his time, "seriously affected his social standing with his race, by marrying a white woman." We shall always honor Douglass, but we shall always regret that he made this serious blunder. But it is true that none of us can regulate social affairs, and while it is distasteful to you, and distasteful to me, we will always find ourselves helpless in checking this inclination on the part of some members of both races. The present "black plague" has not come because of the classical education given the Negro, but it has come because in many sections, he is not educated. It seems that you are averse to educating the Negro. You can make more out of him, by educating him, just as you can make more out of a white man by educating him. Kentucky is the fairest of the Southern States, and if she is liberal in preparing for the education of the Negro, she is anmly rewarded, in that she has a cleaner lynching record than any of her sister states. You state in your article that the next census will show that there are single rooms in his city, housing twenty-seven Negroes. We are devoting our efforts to the work of uplifting our people, and we are anxious to improve conditions that affect the moral status of he race. Will you kindly give the addresses of these houses, showing this overcrowded condition? There are some things that are physical impossibilities. Twenty-seven people living, eating and sleeping in one room of the size usually rented to Negroes, seems to us, a physical impossibility. Now, Mr. Goode, we would not have written this letter, had you not stated in the beginning that you were our "friend." We pay very little attention to our enemies. They are necessary evils. But when we find a friend who expresses his views with such scathing frankness, we feel that it is time for us to take notice of what he says, and see if we can rely upon such a friend to help us in the grave and serious work that must be done to prepare us to take our place in the world's history at the appointed time. You will remember that these two races must mingle in business and political life. These relations should be characterized by mutual respect, courtesy and good will. We expect our "friend" to help us to make these relations as amicable as possible. We expect our white friends to accord to our women ordinary courtesy. There are thousands of our women, whose lives are just as pure as the lives of any other races, and we ask for these women, the respect that is due them. The "wenches" have no part nor lot in our social life. They can take care of themselves, and we make no appeal to you for them. They are not the graduates --- SATURDAY APRIL 19, 1900 Progress Doitnow Euough Said from our institutions of learning they do not represent the womanhood of the race. They represent the scum and the driftwood. We are only sorry that you have never seen the other class. We are inclosing some printed matter that will give you an idea of our position on certain questions. You will see that we are interested in the establishment of a great Training School for Women and Girls. Like your race, we need the colleges, and we need the industrial schools. There are also some things on Fourth Avenue that we need, and the merchants are only too glad to let us have them, but you, our "friend" would deny us the privilege, for you declare that these thoroughfares are exclusively for the white folk. This is news to us. A street is a public thoroughfare. I think the merchants of this city would seriously object to having us withdraw from Fourth Avenue, as the citizens of Anchorage object to having a Negro institution in their midst. Nannie H. Burroughs. In Mr. Goode's paper of March 27, we find the following comment: "The proposed establishment of a Negro classical college in or near Louisville, recently induced The Focus to oppose such a movement, and incidentally to express its opposition, as a general rule, for providing classical education for the Negro. Among other responses to this article was a communication from Nannie H. Burroughs, Secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary, National Baptist Convention (colored), an organization, one of whose purposes is to establish a Negro training school near Washington, District of Columbia, at a cost of $75,000. This school will be opened next fall. Its prospective value to the colored race, and indirectly to the white race, cannot be estimated. If it receives the financial and moral support it deserves from the white race, it ought to prove a blessing to both races. The Focus publishes extracts from this letter and extracts from an address by the same writer for two reasons. First, the colored people are entitled to be heard in their own healt, and then every white family is naturally desirous of knowing the attitude toward them of the higher class, cultured Negroes, and with this letter most of us will agree." If there is any one thing that we need at this time, it is men and women who will defend us when we are assailed, and who will put us in the right light before those who do not know us, but who do us much injury under the guise of friendship. AWARDED TO HARVARD Crimson Debaters Prove Superior to Yale Men in Triangular Contest at Cambridge. Boston, Mass., March 27.—The debate between the teams of Harvard and Yale, held last night in Sanders --- Theater, Cambridge, was won by the Harvard team, which defended the negative side of the question. The judges awarded the debate to Harvard for better resourcefulness of argument, for better command of the issues which were prominent in the discussion and or a more satisfactory remedy for the evils which are acknowledged to exist in the relations of corporations with state and federal governments. Professor Samuel Williston of the Harvard Law School was the presiding officer at the debate and the judges were Professor James F. Colby of the Dartmouth Law School, Judge Henry King Braley, of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, and dean William D. Lewis of the law department of the University of Pennsylvania. For Harvard the debaters were G. I. Lewis, 1L, of Wellington, New Zealand, T. M. Gregory, '10, of Bordentown, New Jersey, and L. J. Whiteside, 1L, of Evanston, Illinois, who spoke in that order. Yale was represented by H. deF. Widger, '10, of Cortland, New York, W. W. Patterson, 2L, of Columbus, Georgia, and J. T. F. O'Connor, 3L, of Grand Forks, North Dakota. The first triangular debate between Harvard, Yale and Princeton, held simultaneously last night in Cambridge, New Haven and Princeton, New Jersey, resulted in a victory and a defeat for each university. In each contest the team upholding the negative side was victorious. The subject was: "Resolved, That all corporations engaged in interstate commerce be compelled to take out a federal charter." The Harvard debaters defeated the Yale team at Cambridge, Yale won the decision over Princeton at New Haven, and Princeton won from Harvard at Princeton. "The other plan of federal regulation is to have federal incorporation thus putting all interstate corporations under the sole control of Congress. This is the plan the affirmative advocates. Which plan is the better? The plan of the negative fails to strike at the root of corporate evils, while the plan of the affirmative does strike at those eveils. T. M. Gregory, of Harvard, second negative, said in part: "The affirmative proposition would bring practically all of the business of the country under the direct control of the federal government. For there are 400,000 corporations in the country and 350,000 of them are engaged to some extent in interstate commerce. They would thus needlessly regulate every corporation, when the evils of which they have complained are in the trusts, the gigantic corporations. "Herbert Knox Smith realized this when he stated that it was only the large corporations, those of national interest, that required regulation by such a law as the affirmative has proposed." It is the intention of the War Dietary appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910. The two hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of the State of Maryland was generally observed the 25th of the month just past. Special programs were rendered by the schools of the state. Bishop George W. Clinton, of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, celebrated his fifteenth birthday anniversary last Sunday. The Texas Freeman says, and names them, there are five colored notaries for Harris County. Their terms begin the first of this coming June. P. L. Edwards, of Bay City, Michigan, is forging his way to the front rank of athletic sports. Owing to the disturbance in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, Judges Kennedy and Evans, of the License Court have rendered a decision prohibiting white and colored drinking in the same saloons. The Echo, which was heretofore published at Long Branch, New Jersey, has removed to Red Bank. It is the purpose of the dark-skinned tax-payers of Spokane, Washington, to form a club to take an active part in the city campaign, says the "Spokane Citizen." The "Mosaic Guide," suggests that aspirants for office should try for some other office than Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, as all cannot get that. It is rumored that the colored relief committee of Brinkley, Arkansas, failed to get all the money sent by persons of the race, to help the suffering. Buxton, Iowa, has a "Church of God Cash Grocery Store," and Elder Daniel Dozier is general manager. The Nashville Globe says the appropriation of $16,000 to establish a Normal School for the Negro youths of Tennessee, "is an insult." This amount was named in the bill to the State Legislature by the General Assembly for Normal Schools. The health department for the District of Columbia has started an investigation of ice cream and a careful inspection of where and how and of what it is made, and will continue during the season when cream is most desirable. The age of 14 for the employment of children in the South for day work, has been suggested, and for night work, boys at 16 and girl's at 18. This suggestion is made by the "Child Labor Conference." It is said that the police of our city are using the new vagrancy law for all it is worth. The law went into effect the early part of March and the officers intend to clear the city of idle persons. The police regulations in their revised form are almost new ones. The work of revision was under the direction of Commissioner Henry L. West. Mrs. Harriett V. Turley died last Sunday morning and her funeral will take place Wednesday at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Julia Scott, 1537 14 street. Mrs. Turley's death followed closely on that of her husband Hamilcar Turley, who died only a few months ago. A trained nursed in Cumberland Maryland, kissed a patient who was dying, at the request of the latter, and contracted the sickness which caused the death of the nurse in a short period. Miss M. C. Spier, the nurse, was a graduate of the Garfield Memorial Hospital. The fine of $10,000 was paid last Monday by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company, upon the plea of guilty of the charge of rebating. Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, asks for more inspectors. The positions are for men only, and they pay from $1000 to $1800 a year. Examinations will be held the 5th and 6th of May.

"This money producing machine has a smooth demonstrator who will, after getting a prospective victim interested, turn the crank and grind out a $20 note, which, it is needless to say, is genuine. The victim shows the bill to a bank cashier, and hears it pronounced good, and his mercenary nature being aroused, he sees visions of gigantic wealth, and hands over to Mr. Sharper $500, or at least $250, for the instrument that is going to make him a Rockefeller. It is needless to say that the subsequent specimens turned out are such miserable imitations that they would hardly fool a blind man, but the ignorantus is in a place where he can't make a roar for his lost money. The Swaying Skyscraper. Through the chance of perfect adjustment in the way of balance, of a row of large photographs that hang on a wall on an office building down town the clerks in the place have a good deal of quiet amusement with persons who visit the place for the first time. Owing to this balance the pictures are easily awayed by the wind that blows through the open windows and since the office force goes in for fresh air the year round the pictures are never still. The joke lies in catching the horrified expression on the faces of the callers when they get a sight of the swinging frames. Then it is always explained with due solemnity, if the boss is not around that the awinging of the frames is due to the oscillation of the structure. It usually takes some time for the object of the joke to see the point. Meanwhile he has suffered considerable shock.—M. Y. World. Odd South American Animals. Many curious animals haunt the marshy parts of South America north of the pampas. Frogs big and ferocious, given to making vicious springs when closely approached; the capybara, a cavy "contented with the bulk of a sheep"; the huge copypur and the swarthy piglike tapir are frequently seen. Along the forest margins troops of peccaries are often met with, occasionally the jaguar sometimes the puma, likewise that toothless curiosity, the great ant bear, long in claw, long nosed and remarkably long tongued. A familiar object is the great jabira, a stork with a preference for the desolate lagoon, where it may often be observed statuesque on one leg and wrapped in prosecution. -Scottman. The Glazko Tree. Studies by Miss M. C. Steopes of the fossil form of Scotland have shown that the gingko or maldenhair, tree, a native of Japan and China, which is cultivated in Europe and this country on account of its remarkable foliage, belongs to an extremely ancient family, of which it is now, apparently, the last surviving representative. At one time it seems to have been widely spread. A singular fact is that the fossil specimens of the gingko, found in the rock beds of the Inferior Oolite series, at Brora, Scotland, are so similar to the living trees that at first sight no difference is apparent. Only an examination of the structure of the cells reveals a variation.—Youth's Companion. For Preasing Plait: Skirts. Plaited Skirts which have been washed are difficult to press. Time and expense may be saved by having the work done after the following method, which is for solen skirts especially: Before the skirt has become badly creased or rumpled run a basting thread, using short, even stitches, down the entire length of each crease which marks the folds of the plaits. By this means, after the skirt has been washed, the proper location of each lest can readily be determined, and the pressing done successfully. Balzac in Church Pew. The woman who had left a volume of Balzac in the church pew on prayer meeting night felt a little bit ashamed when she asked for the book, but the serton assured her she need not feel that way. "Many things are left in the church," he said, "and some of them are a whole lot less respectable than Balzac. After each service the pews yield a strange grist of forgotten or discarded articles." A Clever Bear. A noted ethnologist observed in Vienna a bear delliberately making with his paw, a current in some water which was close to the bars of his edge so as to draw a piece of floating bread within his reach. These actions of the bear could hardly be attributed to instinct or inherited habit, as they would be of little use to an animal in a state of nature. Quill Teothpicks. The largest quill toothpick factory in the world is near Paris, where there is an annual product of 10,000,000 quilts. The factory was started to make quill pens, but when these went out of general use it was converted into a toothpick mill.

A correspondent of a New York paper, edited by a colored man, purports to state in his letters to his paper an inside history of the colored schools of this city. This same individual criticises two colored members of the Board of Education, Messrs. Cook and Horner. The author of these letters makes these cowardly attacks under a "nom de plume." If he were a man and what he wrote was true, he would sign his own name. It is the assassin, who as, The Bee states and the coward who hides behind the bush. Honest men can stand the rays of the calcium light. They have no fear. They are armed so strong in honesty "that the fear of an expose passes by them as the idle wind." Why doesn't this alleged correspondent sign his name and allow The Bee to review him and compare his reputation and character, his ability and other qualities with those on whom he is making weekly attacks. Mr. John F. Cook and Mr. R. R. Horner, are two honorable members of the Board of Education. They don't belong to any clique. Their reputations for honesty and integrity will stand upon a par with the distinguished president of the Board. These two members protect the colored teachers against the tricks and demagogy of some who only protect the teachers when something is in sight. These gentlemen are not menaces to the Superintendent of the colored schools. They hold the colored superintendent in check and it is to the regret of the people that there are not more colored persons members of the Board like them. These two colored members of the Board who have been attacked by this correspondent who does not disclose his name, have been the means of saving many teachers from being dismissed from school on imaginary charges and petty jealousies of some colored school officials. For some time a few white member of the Board of Education have been contemplating white supervision over the colored schools. This thought has been entertained because many of the colored supervisors have been domineering and tyrannical over colored teachers. Indeed, the colored teachers almost welcome white supervision, and if this colored tyranny in the colored schools continues, a change may be looked for almost any time. There are today over fifty colored teachers reduced and transferred to other minor places by the understrappers in the schools. Some of the best teachers in the schools have been reduced and pets have been promoted. The President of the Board of NOT GUILTY The above was the caption of an Editorial Comment in The Bee last week to a communication signed "A Well Wisher." The Bee was charged with having been guilty of condoning crimes committed by colored people. All sensible colored people who have read The Bee for the last thirty years know that The Bee has been foremost in condemning crime in high as well as in low places in this country. Particular attention was called to the crime or the alleged brutal murder of some white man in Alexandria, Virginia. It will be remembered that the police department had decided that it was a case of suicide and as such conclusion excited the prejudices of the citizens of Alexandria, the police department of that city got a move on it and a self-confessed murderer was arrested and he implicated three other persons and without corroborative evidence the natural presumption and conclusion on the part of the people of Alexandria, Virginia, was that the other three colored men are guilty. The Bee must of course condemn and convict these men without corroborative proof. We all know that there have been too many convictions of innocent people upon such evidence and proof. We all know that there is less crime perpetrated by colored people than there is by white people. The Bee doesn't hold that all colored people are saints any more than it does that all white people are criminals. A majority of the offences committed by colored criminals are more or less petty. Colored criminals don't know how to make big steals, and in rare cases a colored man may commit a grave offence and is the first to explain himself. A colored man is never placed in a position to enable him to commit a big crime in comparison to those committed by white men, and no one knows this better than a "Well Wisher." Why should The Bee condone a crime? Has not The Bee suffered for exposing crime in high places which was condoned by administrative as well as by judicial power? A "Well Wisher" should read history and then reflect. No good citizen will condone an offense. No good citizen will condone an atrocious murder, no matter who commits it. The Bee is far in advance of all journals edited by colored men in this particular. The crimes and offenses unearthed by the last administration are evidences of The Bee's position. The number of high government officials who committed land frauds, convicted and sentenced by the last administration, to the penitentiary, will be handed down to posterity as the greatest in the annals of crime. When that Mississippi delegation arrived in the city its first step should have been to have gone to some first class hotel to arrange their toilet. Many of the members of the delegation may have been bankers, lawyers, doctors and preachers; their positions in life didn't give them a license to call at the Executive Mansion dressed in their store clothes. Just what advice they gave to President Taft, as to his Southern policy. The Bee is unable to state. This delegation did not compare with the delegations from Mississippi in the days of Burr, Hill. Lynch. Mollison, Colwell, Revell. These men counted for something. Because a man is a banker there is no reason that he should, in these days of enlightened civilization look like a rail splitter. What advice did the Mississippi delegation give President Taft? Was the President advised? Certainly the country would like to know. THAT JUDGESHIP? Just give a colored man a position out of the ordinary and he will magnify before the world. Some few weeks ago, Congress changed the name of the Justices of the Peace to that of Municipal Justices or a Municipal Court. The change of the five white justices has not caused as mush fuss among the white people of the city as the designation of the one colored Justice has among the ten millions of colored people. They are the same justices but a different name, with almost the same salary. One paper, the Afro-American, of Baltimore, Maryland, has in blazing head lines "A Colored Federal Judge." Now whoever heard of a Justice of the Peace being designated as a federal judge? The judges of our police court have greater power than the justices of the municipal court, and just why colored Editors and jackleg colored correspondents are making asses of themselves The Bee doesn't know. If you call a horse an animal, he is a horse just the same. If you call a rose by any other name it will smell just as sweet and it remains a rose just the same. The Justices of the Municipal Court are Justices of the Peace just the same and the only increased function of their offices is, that litigants may sue for five hundred dollars now where they could not sue for but three hundred heretofore. So why this "Tempest is a teapot?" If a colored man were appointed a judge indeed and in fact, the insane asylum would not be large enough to hold the wild-cat stories that would be published in papers edited by colored men. For God's sake let us have a rest on the judgesnip. It is no judgeship, but simply an ordi- Howard University is an institution for colored people and the colored people should be given an opportunity of demonstrating to the world what they can do. President Thirkield deserves credit for what he is doing for the colored youth but The Bee does insist in demanding recognition for its professional men when they are found to be competent. The country demands that a colored architect be selected. PROUD OF THEIR SONS The Bee extends its congratulations to the Harvard College debating team in which Mr. T. M. Gregory, the son of our well known townsman took part last month. Professor J. M. Gregory and his estimable wife, Mrs. Fannie Gregory, should feel proud of the history and records that have been made by their sons. DR. ELIOT SOUTH His Address to Colored People—Dr. James E. Sheppard Responds. The appearance yesterday at noon of Dr. Charles W. Eliot at White Rock church was one of the most notable of the visit in Durham. The church was well filled and a very responsive audience sat before him. It was representative fully. On the right sat the Trinity College faculty members who could be present, and many of the students were with them. Dr. W. P. Few sat on the rostrum with the speaker who gave evidence of his charm with the musical programme. It consisted of congregational rendition of "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," a solo, "Remember Now Thy Creator," by the Dulcet quartet and "Jesus Saviour Pilot Me," by the choir. Dr. James E. Sheppard's introduction of Dr. Eliot was as fine a tribute as intelligent a grasp of the man's humanity to man, as he has had since his work became world-wide. The colored man, who is himself a great humanitarian and working upon a big scheme, said: "The man who is a friend and a helper to his fellow man comes nearer being the friend of the Creator and reflects the grandeur and wisdom of his creation, more than any other. The highest tribute that can be paid a man, is to say he is is a friend and a helper. "The distinguished guest of the hour comes fully up to this, ideal, for during the five decades or more of his public life, his rallying cry has been "give all men a chance and the common spirit of humanity be recognized." "Championing always the right, many of the ideals for which he stood in the outset, were rejected by BY OFFICE HUNTERS Dr. Booker T. Washington-arrived in town Saturday morning and before he could greet his daughter and son-in-law, he was pursued by over a hundred office hunters. He managed to get to Howard University, where he was able to get away from the crowd for a little rest, and about seven o'clock he could not be found, because he was quietly enjoying the hospitality of one of his distinguished and intimate friends, who is not a candidate for office, but who admires the doctor for his work.

Jones, of the Gideon School, met with a severe accident last week. There is more trouble brewing in the schools. This time it is the Mott building. Favoritism is the foundation of the trouble. Mrs. Helen Johnson Cheek, of No. 3707 New Hampshire avenue, daughter of Henry Johnson, is lying dangerously ill at her father's residence. On Wednesday evening the 7th instant, the Holy Rite of Confirmation will be administered in St. Luke's church, beginning at 8 o'clock.

Mrs. Carter Williams, Atlantic City, New Jersey, is ready to receive guests for the Easter holidays. LENTEN ORGAN RECITALS AT ST. LUKE'S CHURCH Recital number four, of the Lenten series by Mr. Reginald F. Brooks, was given Friday evening the 26th instant, at St. Luke's Portestant Episcopal church. Mr. Richard H. Nugent, Jr., tenor, did the solo work. The following program was rendered: (1) "Voluntary in F sharp;" "Motivo Cantabile," Darwall. (2) Tenor solo, "Just for today," Abbott. (3) "Melody in F," Rubenstein, arranged for the organ by Edwin M. Lott; "Fantasia in E minor," Stainer. (4) Tenor solor. "The plains of peace," Barnard. (5) "Bercuse" Spinney, "Postlude in E flat," Lefebure-Wely. These organ recitals are in the nature of an experiment, and will be given each Lenten season in the future, if found to be appreciated and enjoyed by the colored citizens of this District, regardless of denomination. On Sunday evening the 20th inst., recital number five was given by Mr. Henry Freeman, organist and choir master of the old, venerable and aristocratic St. John's Protestant Episcopal church, assisted by Master Charley Harton, soprano solo boy of St. John's choir. A varied and elegant, as well as an artistic program was given, and as might well have been expected, the church was crowded to overflowing, among whom the representative of The Bee noted a number of our music loving people. To give the program presented by Mr. Freeman would be superfluous; to attempt to comment upon the soprano work of Master Charley Horton, would be a presumption, from every point of view.

CORROTHERS' BANNER SUNDAY Palm Sunday was ushered in with all of its regal glory and splendor in Galbraith African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church last Sunday. The sun shone, the buds appeared on the trees, the birds sang and the Easter season was welcomed by Nature with her jovious and bounding spring life. Dr. Corrothers' preached from the text, Revelation, 19th chapter, and the 11th to the 13th verses, in the morning. His theme was "The Gospel War Horse, or The Horse of Power." And he mounted that War Horse and rode up to the very gates of Paradise raising a shout of Glory Hallelujah, as he was borne aloft on that winged steed. At night he preached from the text 34th Psalms, the 6th verse "This poor man cried aloud and God saved him." He spoke upon the divine Providence and lifted the audience out of their seats when he described how a poet meditated suicide, but was restrained by God. He then wrote that immortal song "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He writes His footsteps on the sea And rides upon the storm." In the afternoon a musical and literary programme was rendered by Miss Grace Addison and her friends, for the benefit of class 3. Over $156 was raised in toto. Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday will witness the close of the $1,000 rally. Honorable John C. Dancy assisted in lifting the collection. There will be special Easter music next Sunday at both the morning and night services, and Dr. Corrothers will preach a special Easter sermon.

NEGRO FERRYMAN A HERO Men, Women, and Children Pay Tribute to Life-saver. Montgomery, Ala., March 29.—In a desperate attempt to save the lives of two white men being rapidly swept away in the swift flow of the Alabama river, Bob Goodwyn, a Negro ferryman and volunteer life-saver, was drowned with them. Many lives have been saved from the treacherous river by the ferryman, and when he was buried at Montgomery Sunday more than 1000 white men, women and children attended the funeral. Eight white boys, cadets in the high school companies, bore his coffin to the grave, and tributes to the memory of the old man, hero, and courteous gentleman affected the great crowd to tears. The members of the City Union are looking forward to the visit of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, of Louisville, with a great degree of interest. It is predicted that Miss Burroughs will have the largest audience that has ever been spoken to by a colored woman in this city. One of her meetings will be held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, and the other at the First Baptist Church in East Nashville. We predict large audiences and splendid programmes at both of the churches. Montgomery, Ala., March 29.—Remarkable honors were paid here yesterday afternoon to the memory of Bob Goodwin, a Negro hero, who was drowned in the Alabama river March 11 while trying to rescue two white men. The white men drowned with him. The body of Goodwin was found Saturday. Hundreds of white persons, men, women, and children, took part in the funeral services yesterday afternoon, and eight cadets of a military high school acted as pallbearers. The procession to the grave included the carriages of many prominent white men of Montgomery. The expenses were paid by E. W. Bliss, a railroad passenger agent, whom Goodwin saved from drowning several months ago. For this act the school children of Montgomery gave the Negro a gold medal. THE MINISTERS From the Natchez.

IS DROWNED "IF." ```markdown ``` THE NIGHT RIDERS AIDED KENTUCKY Original Organization Did Away with Toll Gates and Brought About Good Roads. COMPANIES DISOBEYED THE LAW Orlimes Committed Now Are by Gangs Hiding Behind Name of Old Association Which Caused the Abolishment of the Turnplike Companies. Louisville, Ky.—There has not been, it is said, a crime of mob violence committed in this State, in Tennessee, or, in fact, in any of the Southern States or in any of the Middle Western States in the past several years, with the exception of the occasional lynching of a negro by a mob, that has not been shouldered on the Night Riders. The Night Riders were an organized body back in 1900, when the State Legislature passed a law doing away with private ownership of State roads. For months the turnip-like corporations refused to obey the State laws. They appealed to the State Supreme Court, then to the Court of Appeals, and lastly to the United States Supreme Court, and on each appeal they would get a stay, which made it possible for them to continue running their toll gates and charging two cents a mile for every horse or vehicle that passed over their property. Because of the law's delay the condition of the roads became impossible. The owners of the turnpikes would not expend one cent for improvements as long as there was question of their losing their property by a final court decision, but they did not cease to mulct travellers. All this while they refused to accept the fair price offered by the State for their roads. It was then that the Night Riders were organised. The organization spread from Shelby County to every part of the State, and one night in the late fall men rode from their homes and began burning toll gates. There is no record of a toll gate keeper being injured unless he showed resistance. Then he was taken from the house, and if he continued to be defiant he was flogged. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the tole gate keeper was glad to give up his job and let the gate burn. Night Riders undoubtedly brought the turnpike corporations to terms. There was not a toll gate left standing in the State of Kentucky by the following spring. Had the taxpayers and farmers been contented to allow the law to take its never ending course the chances are that toll gates would still be holding up travellers on the State roads to-day, and that the roads would have been worse now than they were when the Night Riders became organized. The Kentucky roads now are among the best in the United States. There are not millions of dollars of watered stock on which to pay interest, and the State tax has improved them and even made it possible for almost all of them to be sprinkled with oil during the summer season, thus laying the dust. The success of the Night Riders in the war against toll gates led to an organization of a similar character when the fight was waged against the American Tobacco Company. But out of this last organization there grew a body of violent men, who live on excitement and thrive on lawlessness. Then sprang up, too, lawless bodies of men in many of the Southern and Middle Western States, who chose to call themselves Night Riders, though the probabilities are that 99 per cent. of the men didn't own so much as a horse to ride. If a list of the original body of Night Riders could be had the chances are that the names of many men who figured in the operations of the old Ku-Klux gang would be found, and if this list were sifted down it would show that many property-owners and men of prominence had resorted to violence because of their belief that action was their only safeguard against ruin, and that a defiance of law had to be met by a like defiance Psyche Knot a Life Sayer Payche Knot a Life Saver. Altoona, Pa. - Having washed and dried her hair, Mary Housner, aged twenty-two, did it up in a Payche knot and walked out on the front porch. While she leaned against the rolling it gave way and she was precipitated backward, head first, ten feet to the sidewalk, alighting on her head. The collure broke the impact of her head against the flagstones, but she did not entirely escape injury. She suffered a slight concussion of the brain, but recovered consciousness a few hours later. Old Age Common in Rochefort. Paris, France.—Rochefort seems to be a great town for longevity.

Two of these were centenarians, one reaching the age of 101, and the other dying at 186. 2 GREAT OFFER This Spendid Six-Piece Set of W. H.

Some time ago a dealer in pearls who was stopping at the hotel told him an infallible way to distinguish real pearls from false, which was to put them on the ground and stamp on them. If real they would resist the test, if false they would be crushed. The porter, however, never had a chance of putting this theory to the test until a few days ago. The director of a well known company in Berlin, while dining at the hotel, lost a valuable pearl pin. This was found by the waiter, who gave it to the porter to return to its owner. The porter saw his opportunity had come at last to test the quality of a pearl. He put the pin on the ground, placed his heel on it and ground it to a powder. When the owner arrived to claim it there was a somewhat stormy scene, but he was good natured enough to consent to say no more about the affair on the porter refunding half the value of the pin, 600 marks. In future the porter will submit any jewelry he may find for expert onion.

Pratt, Dead from Junger and Thirst, Found in California. Los Angeles, Cal.—"Water, if I could only and water! I'm suffering terribly from hunger. To-day I am some green brush, but I can't go any more. I wonder how long it will take to die." These entries in the notebook of B. T. Pratt, whose body was found on the desert in Inyo county by two prospectors, give pathetic evidence of the suffering the man underwent as he watched the approach of death far from human habitation. The diary also was found by G. W. Lewis and S. E. Shattuck, the prospectors while on a trip through the Argus Mountains in Inyo county. Pratt had been dead nearly two months. He was evidently trying to reach the mountains, where he knew he would find food of a sort and water in abundance, but within sight of his refuge he gave out and could go further. Pratt was sixty years old. The entries in the notebook were scribbled and began only when the man found he was in danger of dying. "Food gave out to-day; guess I can make Argus," was the entry for August 3, seven days after he had started to cross the desert. "Water gene," told the story of the following day. For one whole day he went without water or food, but malattained an optimistic spirit, as is witnessed by the following entry for August 6: "Signs of water about half mile ahead. There will be green stuff there too. Will reach it early in the morning." But evidently the desert was playing tricks on him, as it so often does by means of a mirage. Two days later came the two entries quoted first. The last entry reads:— "I left Grapeville, Inyo county, Cal., July 28. Tom Spratt told me I would perish. I thought I could make it, but got lost, so guess I will have to give in. I have no water, nothing to eat and can't walk I have brothers, C. H. Pratt, at Banner Springs, Wyandotte county, Kan.; E. B. Pratt, in St. Louis, and W. R. Pratt, Custer county, Wyoming." LONGEST AUTO FREIGHT LINE Cars Will Carry 27 Passengers and 10 Tons of Freight. Spokane, Wash.—What is believed to be the longest automobile freight and passenger stage line on the continent is in operation between Oreville and Brewster in Okanogan County, Wash., connecting with a steamer line to Wenatchee. The line has two 60-horse powercars, which will carry twenty-seven passengers and ten tons of freight, making the run of eighty miles in eight hours. The trip by wagon occupies almost two days. Branch lines will also be established to other points in the Okanogan country. The other line is between Marcus and Kettle Falls in Stevens County, north of Spokane, connecting with a steamer to Spokane Falls. These cars will be of twenty-five and thirty horse power, respectively. F. L. Barney has charge of the automobile line, while Capt. Bruce A. Griggs, a veteran river man, will operate the steamer line. HAS A RABBIT PLAGUE Bold Cottontails Destroy Crops on California Ranches. San Francisco, Cal.—Jack rabbits are said to be so numerous in the Antelope valley of California that the ranchmen are in despair. The animals are becoming so fierce that they are actually breaking down the fences around the adjacent fields and eating crops down to the rootz. Not content with this, they are swarming into the desert towns and invading front yards of the dwellers. Citizens of Lancaster turned out recently and made a round-up. They put up a fence across the road between fences surrounding fields on each side and in short time droys in and killed with clubs five hundred jack rabbits. EAGLE KILLS A SHARK. Ship's Crew-Witness Desperate Fight in Chesapeake Bay. Baltimore.—A remarkable combat between a large eagle and a shark was witnessed recently by Captain Henderson and the crew of the steamer Tangler in Chesapeake Bay. When coming out of Occohnock Creek they saw the eagle dive and come to the surface with a shark. Then followed a fierce struggle, the shark pulling the eagle under the water until it was almost exhausted. The fish was finally killed and floated dead on the water. Members of the steamer's crew put off in a small boat and captured the eagle, although it clawed them repeatedly and its mate, hovering alone by, tried to attack them. Shot an Albino Bquirrel. Marquette, Mich.—While hunting near Grand Marzis, Gustav Herbert shot and killed an albino squirrel. It has been presented to James Calras, of Grand Marzis, and will be mounted. Albino deer are occasionally killed in upper Michigan, but this is the first time of which there is record that a white squirrel has been bred.
