ing that they had ever received from
strangers. Unmindful of their ill man.
ncrs and offensive appearance, she gained
their confidence and gave them good adj
vice as well as kindly sympathy.
One Saturday she invited number of
them to meet her for little talk Many
of the women and children followed her to
n bare, UNFINISHED room, where she told
them in simple and unaf ected manner
how much they might learn by meeting
once week to confer with her and some
Of the other teachers. She showed them
how they could learn to make their homes
BETTER care for their children and help
their husbands. The women were inter
ested and promised to come again. They
did so, The next Saturday there was a
room full, and from that time on the num-
Der kept increasing. The other teachers
in the Normal became enthusiastic about
the work when they saw what rapid ad-
vances their neglected sisters could make
when given chance and they gave short
talks on such subjects as GLOW to Care
For the Home" Good and Cooking"
"Ventiation, " etc.
That little meeting was the germ of an
association that now has II local member
ship OF over 400 women and children, and
which has spread through many states.
Other educated colored women heard of
Mrs. Washington's efforts and her success,
and about n year ago they met in Boston
and formed Il national organization for the
purpose of extending this work all through
the Black Belt. Mrs. Washington was
elected president, and the prestige of her
husbands name at once gave the fedora
tion national reputation.
The selection of Mrs. Victoria Earle
Matthews of New York as chairman was
equally fortunate as she is one of the best
organizers ard literary characters among
her people.
The representatives of 80 clubs were
present, and great enthusiasm was mani
tested. Before the convention adjourned
the organization had been effected and a
system of work laid out Since then this
work has been carried on with surprising
activity. Mrs. Matthews has spent several
months in the rural districts of Alabama
and Georgia studying the needs of the
women and children, and she will present
the great amount of information she has
so laboriously gathered in the form of an
address at the coming convention.
Mrs. Washington has enlarged her work
by conducting what she calls Kitchen.
garten" for adults, in which she gives prac-
tical lessons in housekeeping to large
class every afternoon in Tuskegee. Her
report will be one of the most interesting
which will be made at the convention.
Among Others who will read papers or de.
liver addresses are: Mrs. B. X. Bruce of
Washington; Mrs. Fannie jackson Cop
pinger, principal Of the Institute For Col.
ored Youth at Philadelphia; Mrs Ida B.
Wells Barnett, editor Of the Chicago Con.
servator and Mrs Frances Harper of Phil.

Collectors came to the street each day,
But the Other Man went his quiet way,
And never was once beset
No one in the street who knew his name;

Collectors gone and collectors came
For this man Paid in Cash.
When Promisetopay went out of town,
A hundred tradcsmen would question,
"Where?"
And Deepindebt, from sole to crown,
As he moved him up and moved him down,
Was buletined here and there
And these were the fellows who stood in

When they did pay their bills they got
cigars.
Or at Christmas season case of wine
Or other souvenir quite as fine
And drinks over polished bars.
The other MANI Nothing; they took his
gold
And tucked it away in savings banks,
With never a thought that they should hold
A present out to the man who told
His money to barren Thanks"
They even figured in flushest times,
How Cash.in-Hand would easily square
Those frequent losses in dollars and dimes
That came from customers skipping to cline,
Which hadn't collectors there.

London, June 19.-The st. James Ga
zette, in an article on the effect of the
possible election of Mckinley to the
presidency on the relations between
Great Britain and the United States.
says:
1t cannot be said that the Democratic
under Messrs. Cleveland and Olney have
shown too friendly spirit, but we fear
we must not hope for better things from
the Republicans. Jingoism Is not a mo-
nopoiy Of one party. and we shall be
lucky If we escape further causes of diff
erence during McKinley's regime. We
snail be lucky, too,if we succeed as speed
lily as possible in arranging for the per-
manenh arbitration, of which the Mar
quis OF Salisbury spoke yesterday.
However, the Gazette adds. Great Rri-
tain Is to be congratulated upon the rea-
sonable certainty that If Mckinley is
elected the United States Will continue
to pay It's obligations in honest money.
The Globe says: The outside world
would prefer the installation Of a gov
ernment pledged to both a gold standard
and q moderate tariff
The paper adds that President Cleye-
iand might consolidate under gold the
Democrats of the n-nfanufacturing
States by proposing to continue the ex-
isting tariff with slight notifications.
The Westminster Gazette saws: The
protection policy to which the party Is
committed Will doubtless be as injurious
to our trade as before, but for the mo-
menb there Will be q sense of relief at
the fact that the Republicans are aeainst
tampering with the currency
