THE NEGRO QUESTION.

Chicago Inter Ocean:-When the
latte General Armstrong, father of
Hampton institute, was asked for
suggestions as to the discussion of
The Status Of the American Negro at
dhe Columbian congress, he remarked:
''The negro question is not a question
of status, but a question of tendency"
A recent article ON The Vital Stats
tics of the Negro Race by Frederick
L. Hoffman, shows that the death
rate of the negroes is from so to 10G
per cent. greater than that Of the
whites, but it also shows that the ten
dency of the race is toward a higher
morality and a reduced mortality by
@ greater percentage than that given
to the white race, as measured by the
statistics of great cities
One of the men who are doing
great work to improve this tendency
Of the negro race is Mr. BROKER Il.
Washington, principal Of the Tuske-
gee normal and industrial school at
Tuskegee, Ala. Mr.. Washington is a
negro whose success in his work dem
onstrates the capability for the up
ward tendency of his race. He rec
ognizes the weakness of the negro as
we'll as his strength, and at Tuske-
gee he has for a dozen years been
teaching the negro youth that they
must become Independent by fitting
themselves for industrial rather than
for professional life. Like General
Arm ,fr.SAr1 In 0nt nd
the necessity for trade schools where
the boys might learn trades with the
the same thoroughness that belonged
to the old age of apprenticeship,
which has passed away since the ad-
vent of the great mandatory with
it's departmental work and the trades
union with it's rules barring young
men from the privilege of learning
trades. Every city in the north now
has it's training and trade schools to
teach the boys to use the hand as
we'll as the brain, but this has been
carried to greater practical success at
Hampton and Tuskegee than in any
other schools.
Booker r. Washington began with
the idea that the negroes of the south
must reach independence through the
industrial field, for the professional
life was already crowded, and race
prejudice would operate to confine
the negro lawyer and doctor to adj
ministering to his own race. He
made labor and not Latin one Of the
great roots Of education, and for ten
years no boy or girl has graduated
from Tuskegee without that knowl-
edge that would enable them to take
their place in the industrial army full
ly equipped to first-class work in some
trade, and earn first-class wages.

SECRETS OF HER SUCCESS.
A BOarding-HOuse Keeper Let's Light
ON an Interesting Subject.

A very successful boarding house
keeper was telling a writer for the
New York Recorder some secrets of
her good fortune
"AbOve ALL" said she, 81 try to keep
every part of my two houses just as
clean as l possibly can, but 1 am not
the only one in this business who does
that, though it's a great point. Then
l have always hired large houses
You cannot possibly make money in
a small one. have chung to a neigh
horhood and made my houses distine-
tive by having at some expense vines
trained from basement to roof. Those
vines are my trade mark. When folks
forget the number they say THE house
with the vines Moreover, they give
the place such a shady, cool look in
summer that people are not so anxious
to get Off to the country. The green
effect takes away the hot, stuffy look,
and something of the feeling. Then 1
make point of being very liberal
with towels and napkins. This itSm
costs me perhaps S25 more in a year
than it would the usual boarding
house keeper in my place, but it
brings me in the outlay multiplied
many times. Of course, 1 set as good
table as l can, and my rooms are
we'll furnished, but as good can be
had elsewhere. My luck in letting
rooms have always believed to be
due to the fact that 1 have piano In
nearly every large apartment. 1t is
really odd to see how a piano will at
tract a person. Why, l can get So or
Sc more a week for a suite with a
piano, which doesn't cost that much a
month. If people don't want the in
strument, it can be moved out. One
other point: I use the same kind of
carpet in every room in the house as
far as I can, so, when it wears shabby,
all the good may be brought together
and made use Of. l find there's great
economy in this. Lastly, 1 have no
helpless, lazy relatives such as usually
cripple woman in my line, eating
her out of house and home and dis
gruntling the boarders. If l had. /
think l should provide for them else
where, for in a clearinghouse their
room is generally worth more than
| their company, or their half-hearted
| attempts at helping.

A wonderful natural cavern was
discovered in Lafayette county, Ga,
in 1891. 1t has the usual complement
of rooms" galleries" ''domes,"
pits etc., but its sole title to being
something out of the ordinary in the
cavern line is a weH-like abyss in one
Of the rooms, which, as far as any
one knows, may once have served as
the chimney of hades. 1t is known
locally as 'tthe bottomless pit" Stones
Of large size have been thrown into
it with hope that they would be
heard to strike bottom after a while,
but, according to reports, "there were
no reverberating sounds borne back
to the ear, by which it's enormous
depth could be gaused."-St. Louis

This method is claimed to utilize nearly
all of the power exerted, while in
steady stream much of it would be lost.
The boat has been only running few
days by it's novel power, and the inventor
proposes to make several changes toward
improving the propelling force. Valves
in the pump can be operated so as to
change the course of the stream so that
the boat can be backed at will and with
as much power as If going ahead.
The hull of the novel boat was formerly

that he has developed more speed with
his motive power than it had with the
engine.
