Mr.. Joseph replied:

people live within radius Of 800 miles
of that city, and the exposition will in
clude everything made, invented or
worked by colored men. 1t will have
works of art, field products, manufactures,
machinery and all other articles raised,
fabricated, produced or owned by colored
people throughout the United States. A
governmental exposition will probably be
added, and it is designed to cultivate and
stimulate the arts and trades among the
colored people, and to show the world
what they are doing. Ex-Minister John
NJ. I.angston told me the other day that
movement would be inaugurated to make
it an international exposition, and that
the West Indies would be called upon to
furnish an exhibit, and that all the col
ored peoples of the western continent
would be asked to contribute to it.
Both Henry w. Grady and Governor
John B. Gordon have expressed them
selves in favor of the exposition, and At
lanta has given the use of its park and ex-
position building for it. In addition to
this, ,!Cther buildings are now being erected,
and there will be more than ten acres OF
buildings, while the park in which the
exposition is to be located covers two hun
dred acres of ground. The main expOsi-
ton building is one of the finest exposi-
tion buildings in the United States, and
Mr.. Philip Joseph, the director general of
the exposition, who is here at Washing
ton, gives me some data in regard to the
buildings now going up.
1.-THE buildings,' said he, twill be
grouped around the lower end of the race
track The grand stand is located near
the main entrance to the grounds and
next to the city. Just below this begin
the stalls for cattle, sheep, goats and hogs.
This will be four stalls deep, and will
comprise over 400 separate stalls. Every
tenth stall is being made of unusual size
to accommodate extra fine or dangerous
animals. The poultry building will con-
tain 1000 coops. The Agricultural and
Machinery hall is at right angles to the
main building, and this is $50 feet long
The main building covers nearly two acres
of ground, and it is two stories high.
These buildings were completed about
four months ago, and are now ready for
the reception of exhibits. Here is a
sketch Of the Horticultural hail. which is
thirty feet wide and 100 feet long, and it
is to be made of iron and glass. Then we
expect to have Music hall, seating $500
persons, and with stage accommodations
for 100, and to add an annex to the main
bnilding These buildings are so located
that you can enter the further end of the
main exposition building, and walk
through solid half mile Of displays, end
ing up at the grand stand, where the races
are going on.
IA new hotel is to be constructed just
outside of the grounds for the use of col
ored people, and this will solve problem
which always comes up in such cases. A
picture of this hotel was shown to the
congressional committee having the matter
In charge. 1t is three stories high, and
covers about three quarters of an acre.
1t will accommodate 800 guests, and will
have 240 feet front, with wing extend
ing back 140 feet'

"There are from thirty to forty rich col
ored men in Washington, and they un-
doubtedly own more than $1.OOO,OOO
worth Of property. In Philadelphia there
are plenty of rich colored men, and they
have succeeded we'll as real estate dealers,
coal merchants, expressmen, and rs deal
ers in crockery, china. -four and furniture.
John Mckee, of Philadelphia, is said to
own 400 houses, and his assets are more
than $500,O00. Less than 100 colored men
of Philadelphia own over $3, OOO, 600. In
Chicago there are number of colored
firms who have capital ranging from $l5,-
600 to 10000, and Richard Grant and
Mrs John Jones, of that city, are each
estimated to be worth more than O.OOO
Colored men are manufacturing cloth in
New Jersey, and in Michigan they own

PROPOSED HOTEL FOR cOLORED PEOPLE.
"How about professional colored men?'
well continued the colOred statisti-
clan, ga. Mills, Of Duluth, has patented
an elevator door, and his check is good
for three times 100000. S. r. Scrolton,
colored man, of New York, is the in
ventor of the triple mirror. and Professor
G. T. Wood, of Columbus, o., has new
system of telegraphing, by means OF
which the railway dispatcher can note the
position of any train on the route at q
glance, and can telegraph to and from the
train while it is in motion. Elijah Nc
Coy, of Detroit, has twenty-eight patents
on steam engines and railway attach
ments. And so it goes on. In Chicago
the colored citizens have good literary
club, and have inaugurated series of
public lectures Harper & Bros. are now
advertising a new book by George w.
Williams, and he will soon put his drama,
'Panda, on the stage. There are over 200
journals and periodicals in the United
States owned and edited by colored men.
L. T. Fortune of New York, is a good
colored journalist. DR.. Radanes, of New
Orleans, made a fortune at medicine.
DR.. R. A. Boyd, of Mobile, a graduate of
Harvard, lately got a fee of 81 900 in
gold and a horse and buggy for
dangerous operation. Colorcd law
yers are many, and colored dentists
do well. We have noted =. eachers
too. Rev. Father Augustus Tolton is q
Catholic priest, who was educated at
Rome, and who now confesses Christians
of both races in beautiful church at
Quincy, Ills. The Rev. Jasper, Of Rich
mond, is widely noted as the author of
the theory that The sun do mover and
Nine. Paul Trevigne, of New Orleans,
took the first premium at the Paris ex
position for wax works. Mile. Selika was
educated in singing in Europe, under
Adelina Patti, and she often appeared in
public with her. Mrs. Nellie Brown
Mitchell is famous for her sweet voice,
and the Catholic choir in St. Augustine's
church, in Washington, is widely known.
81 have not mentioned colored men of
national reputation in this talk, you will
see, and have endeavored to take only
the well doing colored men whose work
has been but little known to the country.
Every one knows Of Douglass, Bruce,
Langston and others, but the colored race
is advancing in the rank and file as well
as its leaders, and at our coming exposi
tion we will show progress which the
white people do not dream Of

WASHINGTON, March 8.-By the census
of 1880 there were 6,500,000 colored peo-
pie in the United States. This showed
an increase of more than "a per cent. over
the census of 1870. According to the
same ratio, there must now be in this
country nearly 5000, 900 Of colored people,
and by 1890 the number will have risen
to 8, ,OOO, 900, or fully one-seventh of our
whole population.
The colored man has been rapidly ad-
vancing. His desire for education and
culture has increased rather than dimin-
ished since the abolition of slavery. The
New Orleans exposition showed a re-
markable progress i'll nearly every branch
of industry and in some branches Of art
The colOred exhibit at Jacksonville was
much admired by President Cleveland,
and both Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland showed

colored men in their national exposition.

There have been some wonderful cures

NOW FOR THE GOLD BELT!

Now that the long-desired low
rates of freight on ores have been
obtained, the owners Of the argent,-
ferrous, galena mines can be trusted
to look after the interests OF their
properties, and the HALEY Board Of
Trade can devote some time and
thought to other matters. One of
tho most important of these is the
Gold Belt, and the ways and means
to be resorted to to induce capital to
take hold here. A little well-direct.
ed effort may result in a strong com.
pany becoming interested; aud with
one strong company there the whole
belt would soon be alive with men
and teams-to the permanent enrich
ment and prosperity of this whole re.
gion.
The ore chutes there, while not of
extraordinary value "per tom" are SO
extensive and enormously valuable
that it seems almost impossible to ex-
.aggerate the profits that would en-
sue from their intelligent and system.
alto exploitation on scale common
msnsurate with their dimensions;
aud if a good start could be made
capital would not be lacking to
handle the whole belt and thus give
steady and remunerative employment
to thousands of men.
There is 10 line of business az once
90 fascinating and profitable as gold
mining. There are no heavy freight
rates to pay on the product which is
liable to no discount, no fluctuations
in price, and free from base metals.
Aud gold mine once put on a pay.
ing basis proves a source of joy to its
owners and their friends for years and
years.
The HALEY Board of Trade could,
therefore, not do better than to de.
vote some effort to the Gold Belt.
