INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS-.
Fifth Annual Meeting in the Interest
of Race Progress

Huntsville, Ala, April 13.-The fifth
annual industrial congress of negroes
was held at Normal, Ala, yesterday,
Prof. w. H. Council, president of the
Agricultural and Mechanical college for
negroes, presiding.
Fifteen hundred negroes were in at
tendance, including many distinguish
ed men of the race.
DR.. E. M. Cravath president of the
Fisk university, called the congress to
order with a prayer and the address OF
welcome was delivered by Prof Council
The speaker stated that the object OF
the congress was to discuss means by
which the negro race may be elevated.
He said that there was great need OF
industrial education among the negroes
of the south, and that these modern
times are demanding more competency
in all the arts and trades TO better
his condition, the negro must, therefore,
make himself more proficient in the
trades so that he may enter the LABOR
market on an equality with all others
The afternoon was marked by grand
display of products of the working
classes and the industrial department
of the agricultural and mechanical col
Iege. Three hundred students in their
Working clothes made a parade of the
cannus. headed by a brass band.
Mrs Virginia Clay-Clopton, wife OF
tho late United States senator Clay, ad-
dressed the negroes in the evening. She
nointed out to them what may be ac
complished by leading virtuous lives and
conforming to the laws of the land,
while at the same time perfecting them
selves in the arts and trades adopted by
them as a means of livelihood.

SHE TOOK SNAP SHOTS.
Wife of Senator Davis Secured Photo
graphs of the Senate.

Washington. April 19.-Snap shots
were taken in the senate chamber Mon
day. Mrs. Davis, the wife of Senator
Davis, carried a small kodak with her
into the gallery. and when the pro
ceedings began to be interesting she
pointed it at different parts of the SEN
ate chamber and took snap shots at
pleasure.
One of the senates most strictly en-
forced rules is that no camera shall be
brought into the gallery while congress
is in session. Mrs. Davis was informed
of this rule, but she continued to take
snap shots until she had secured
complete set of photographs. There
was quite a connection among officials
whose duty it is to see that the rules
are carried out in the galleries, and the
sergeant-at-arms of the senate was ap-
pealed to, but nothing was said TO the
wife of the chairman of the committee
on foreign relations, and she has the
satisfaction of having in her possession
the only photographs of the senate on
the memorable day when the presi-
dents message was sent in.

EDISON HAS A PLAN.
He Would Make Torpedo Boats Prac-
tically Useless.

New York, April 13.-Thomas A. Ed
son has made a discovery, or, rather,
applied a principle that will revolution
ize modern naval warfare. At present
night and fog are the greatest enemies
a war fleet at sea can know. 1t is I'M
der cover of the darkness that the tor
pedo boats sneak up to within hailing
distance of the great ships and aim
deadly blows at them.
BY day nothing is so feeble as a tor
pedo boat. 1t must get within half
mile of it's mark ere it can spit its
venom, and this it cannot do. 1t is as
swift in flight and as harmless in of
Tense as a rabbit. Its sides are so frail
that the smallest rapid-fring gun will
riddle it. When it was pointed out to
Mr.. Edison that many fears were felt
on account Of SPANS torpedo fleet. he
said it was easy to do away with their
possibilities for harm.
Il would suggest, said he, that In
addition to the seachlightS now en-
ployed canisters of calcium carbide, with
a small quantity of calcium phosphide
mixed in, be placed near the scouting
boats or fired into the water at dis
lance from a mortar. These caniSterS,
being provided with buoyant chambers
and water vents, would give off acety-
lene gas, and also spontaneously in
f1ammative phosphoretted hydrogen,
which would serve to ignite continuous
" the acetylene gas. The result would
be powerful lights, very cheaply pro-
duced in great numbers over an area
of several square miles. Any torpedo
boat coming nearer imam one u ehSse
lights would be thrown in silhouette.
which, to the eye, would be at least 80
times more powerful than the small re-
Election from the light-absorbin sur
face of a torpedo boat illuminated by
the most powerful electric light"
In word, the light would be behind
it, instead of on the nearer side of it.
Not only can the chemical combination
be employed to keep torpedo boats
away as already shown, but canisters
of it, being very light in weight, can be
hurled for several miles from a pneu-
matte gun.

cheering caused intense excitement and
II was some moments before quiet could
be restored
Gen. Lee bowed to the crowd, and, as
ne reached the door to Secretary Sher-
mans ofhce, turned and bowed again.
Then the door closed on him and the
throng dispersed.
AFTER few minutes the consul gen.
eral emerged, accompanied by Secretary
sherman and Assistant Secretary Day.
The three entered carriage and were
quickly driven to the White House. Gen.
Lee got another ovation his way
over.
AT the White House the party was
SHOWN at once to the library, where the
chleI executive accorded a hearty re-
ceptlon to the consul general. The only
persons present at the meeting were the
president, Secretary Sherman, Assistant
Secretary Day and Gen. Lee. Secretary
Sherman remained with others for
about half an hour and then returned
to the state department. After being
with the president fully an hour, Judge
Day and Gen. Lee. took their departure,
the latter going to his hotel. An i'm
mense crowd, augmented by the number
of ladies who attended Mrs. McKinley's
reception was on the portico when the
two came down stairs, and Gen. Lee
was given a tremendous ovation. As
their carriage was being driven away,
some one fastened a Cuban flag to the
front of the vehicle, and this was the
cause OF additional enthusiasm.

Health is not question of muscle
and sinew, but of resistance and endur-

thin blooded who are always sick; those
who have no resistive power, so that a
sudden cold develops into graver dis
ease. Every process of the body is con-
trolled by the nervous system; and just
in proportion as this nervous system is
weakened, the whole body suffers loss
of resistive power. Overwork, worry,
care, anxiety-these are the chief causes
which sap the system of its vital power.

Before Taking His Departure,
by the Mob.

New York, April 13.-The Norwegian

gers Were United States Consul Brice
and his staff and their families. Consul
Brice said that for three days before
leaving Matanzas the people threatened
his life and at all times his property
was in danger.
His secretary was obliged to flee for
his life, as the mob threatened to drag

At p. m. of the Sth instant, he got
notice from Havana to withdraw from
his post. The Jarlsberg was the only
steamer In port, and Capt. Kjorland
agreed to take the consul and his party
to New York. At 10 o'clock the party
embarked and the steamer immediate
ly sailed. The consul left all his bag
gage and none of the party was able to
bring away any personal effects.
The consul says that the condition of

For the central portion of the state

farmers are blowing for corn, while
many are listing it in. Peaches and ap-

PIGEON FROM NORDICA.
Bird Carries a Message to New YorI
From a Vessel at Sea-

New York April 13.-When the steam
er Chateau Latte, which arrived at
quarantine last evening from Bordeaux,
was II miles east of the highlands
carrier pigeon circled around it for some
time. The pigeon finally alighted, and
permitted the officers to detach from it
a message for Mrs. Gilbert Jones of 22S
Madison avenue, New York, from Nine.
Nordica, the celebrated singer, convey
ing love and good wishes. After the
pigeon was relieved of it's message 1t
flew away in the direction of land in
spite of efforts to hold it.
The message from Nine. Nordica came
from the steamer La Bretagne, which
left this city early yesterday morning.
1t was sent by request of the favorite
prima donna little after noon. After
having it's message taken from it by
the officers of the steamer Chateau La
fife the bird flew straight to its home,
creating a sensation at the Manhattan
.Homing Pigeon club, where it had been
raised and trained, and showing that
