Medical Experimentation Morgan
Address.


Address.
| The commencement exercises OF the
Leonard Schools of Medicine and Phar-
macy of the Law Department of Shaw
University began last night with the
address before the literary societies.
IT was delivered by Gen. T. ]. Nor
gan. corresponding secretary of the
american Baptist Home Mission Socie-
| ty. New York.
Negro Education and the Home Mis-
sion Schools" was his subject Among
other things i'm the course of his address,
Gen. Morgan said:
'All the friends of the negroes cOncede
that their educational progress since the
war has been phenomenal, gratifying.
and full of promise. 1t is sometimes said
that no people in history have ever made
such progress in a similar time. which
is probably true But it is worth CON
sidering that the white young men and
young women, especially in the North,
now at school equipping themselves for
the twentieth century opportunities and
responsibilities. are enjoying educational
advantages far in advance of those en-
jOyed by the negro young men and
them. While the negroes are making
great progress in education. the white
people are making still greater progress.
The negroes are probably falling behind
relatively. Their true friends are earn
estly DESTROYS that the negroes shall not
waste their strength and their money in
unwise measures, but that they shall
unite with their white friends in greatly
nnlar0iOo fhai1s npnconf fociIifiao fa,s n
true, higher education. The best edu-
cation is not too good for negroes. =
''At the present time what is needed is
not more schools but more students:
none of the schools are full; there Is
room and to spare. There are thousands
of young men and young women in the
churches who ought to be educated, and
who are DESTROYS of entering the schools.
but are unable to do so for the lack of
little money TO meet their necessary cur
rent expenses. If the negro pastors would
seek out these young men and young
women, encourage them to go to school.
and then induce their churches to pro-
vide the little money needed to meet
their expenses, there would be at once
large addition to the host of negro
young people preparing themselves for
usefulness. 1t is confidently believed
that money thus expended would be
worth vastly more to the negroes of the
country than if expended in attempting
to establish new and costly schools where
they are not needed. To build unneces.
sary schools is a wicked waste of
money"

Supreme Court Says His Conduct Ought
10 be Investigated.
Now that the Supreme court has de-
cided the cases of Worth, the State
Treasurer, against Stewart Brothers,
the State printers, a referee will have
TO be appointed to find out exactly how
much the State is entitled TO recover,
in the way of overcharge and damages,
from the Stewards.
1t will probably amount to something
like $12,500.
1t will be remembered that under an
act of the General Assembly of 1895.
Stewart Brothers, on February 9th,
1895, entered into a contract with the
State. as State printers, 10 do the public

On June 2Sth, 1897. the State Treas
irer began an action against the Stew
arts, alleging that the work had not
come up to contract and that IN ig-
norance of the falsity of the accounts
he had been induced to pay them. Or
this ground he sued to recover tho
money paid the Stewards and to which
they were not entitled.
In answer the Stewards set up a de;
mnrrer on the ground that the complaint
did not state a cause of action; that
the accounts had been passed upon and
adjudged correct by two practical print
ers. and their action was final. The
defendants set up also, in defense, thai

Offerings to Sell Not Heavy on Stock

Offerings to Sell Not Heavy on Stock
 Market.
 New York, March 22.-Offerings to sell were not heavy in to-day's stock market except in a few stocks and in-
 termittently. But the buying demand
 was at so low an ebb that even the
 desultory offerings that were dribbled
 upon the market drove prices down. wards almost continuously. The result
 is seen in net losses of between and
 dard railroad stocks and leading indus
 trial specialties and of over points
 in the local traction specialties. Dur-
 ing the morning session there were evil
 dences of an attempt to support prices
 in few stocks, due to the efforts of
 9, large operator recently returned to
 the street. There was also extensive
 covering by another of the largest op-
 orators in the street, who has recently
 been persistent seller. The slightest indication of rise in prices brought out such heavy offerings all through the list that the half formed purpose
 apparent to bid up prices was aban- doned for the rest of the day Appar- entity the burst of animation in the final hour was due to considerable short selling, as there was tendency to rally on covering just before the close, but this rally was so feeble that the covering movement was given over and prices fell away to about the low
 est at the close. The great bulk of the dealings was in the grangers, Union Pacific preferred, Sugar and the local traction stocks These railroad stocks were affected by the reports of the blizzard in the west. Sugar con- tinued depressed on the belief that the company was on the verge of war for supremacy in the trade The local traction stocks were affected by threat- ened complications growing out of the | proposed rapid transit project. But while these special causes had an ap- I preciable influence, the shadow on the
 market was the development of the | governments Cuban policy, In which | all circles feel certain a crisis is now l imminent. Evidently no one wants to 1 buy stocks until this question is set | tied. Another feature of the day was 1 a further announcement of gold en- | gagged for import and concurrent cas- | ing of exchange rates. It was felt | yesterday that the gold movement had | probably come to an end for the pres ent and as this was believed to be due | to a prospect of easier money rates it l was looked upon with favor by the | speculative community. According to | this reasoning the resumption to-day of the gold movement might be regarded | as an unfavorable factor, though the | further influx of gold must make far l easier money, even though 1t is not the index that easy conditions have all 1 ready arrived.
 l The dullness in the bond market was even more pronounced than that in | stocks, but the losses were compara- l lively small. Total sales, $1,075,000. ! United States fves were F higher, the old fours coupon M higher and the twos F lower bid to-day.

 ent and Speaks.
 Boston, March 22.-A convention rep resenting the commercial and indus trial interests of the New England states, for the purpose of considering the best methods of securing a display of manufactured products of this sec tion at the Paris exhibition in 1900, assembled at Hotel Vendome this morning. It was held under the aus- pices of the Massachusetts State Board of Trade. The executive representation was: Connecticut Governor Lorrin A. Cooke; Massachusetts, Governor Rog- CT Wolcott: New Hampshire, GoverGor George A. Ramsdell; Rhode Island, Governor Josiah Grout; Maine, Gover- nor Llewellyn Powers.

Hollister of Rutland, Vt., said every person who ought to be repre- scented at Paris should be worked with personally r.
 Lieutenant Governor James D. Dew ell, president of the Connecticut state
 board of trade, said that exhibitions are good things, although he did not believe that the legislature of Connec- ticut would appropriate a cent "The l idea down there just now is economy" he said, but I have great faith in the boards of trade of Connecticut and believe they can raise any amount of l money needed by private subscrip- 1 tion."
 1 E. c. Hovey, commissioner of Mas | sachusetts to the Chicago exhibition in l 1893, said that what is needed more l than anything else is pressure upon
 congress to pass the bill which con-
 cerns the Paris exposition. The bill
 asks for the appointment of nine Uni l ted States commissioners and the ap- l propriation of $1,0O0,000
 | President Adams of the Massachu-

 imously adopted and will be forwarded l to Washington:

 BASEBALL TRAINING TABLE.
Will in All Probability be Started This
 "a Week. Nt

week.
 The training table for the University baseball team will in all probability be started the latter part of this week at Mrs. Sykes on York street. Eighteen men will be taken to the table and of these thirteen will go on the southern trip during the spring vacation. Each man taken on the trip will receive a suit. No reduction of the squad which now numbers about thirty will be made until after Easter. It Is quite likely that ten men will be dropped at that time Work at the field continues and the prospects for S strong and winning team are very good.
 Several men on last years squad who did only fair work have improved wonderfully and are now considered among the best.
 The freshman team practiced at the field yesterday afternoon for the first time They have been compelled to work in the cage since they were called out, because of the destruction of their diamonds by the erection of the grand stands around the football field.
 A new diamond has recently been laid out which the men will use every day from now on. There are about thirty-hve men in the squad.

A POISONED LIVER.
Don't Keep Poison in Your Body
 Longer Than You Have To.

Longer Than You Have To.
 If your stomach poisons your liver the consequences may be serious.
 What poisons arise in your stomach come from undigested food which has decomposed there. They are absorbed by your blood and go to your liver, where they paralyze it's functions and make you bilious.
 Finally they go into the blood again and are carried all over the body, dis ordering your different organs, and perhaps making you dangerously sick.
 This is the origin of many diseases which are not always known for what they are.
 The poisons of undigested food can only be got rid of by the use of a pu- rifying, strengthening, digestive tonic, like the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
 A few doses of this wonderful cor dial will soon clear away all undigest- ed. fermenting, poisonous substances, restore your appetite, aid you to di- gest your food, purify your liver and blood of all dangerous poisons, and restores you to perfect health.
 It will cure biliousness, indigestion, nausea, headache, dizziness, mental depression, weakness, fever, fatulence constipation, loss of appetite, bad taste in mouth, stomach-ache, anae- mia, rheumatism, etc, where other medicines will barely give relief. At druggists. Ten cents for trial ' bottle.
