In the second set Hardy won the

for a while. Whitney caught up, but

scoring in the set. Smashing, volley-

Booker L. Washington Hits the
Nail Fairly.

Ihlladelphla, April 25.-Book-
er II. Washington, founder and
pl .ncipal Of the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial institute, in Ala
bama, who arrived here to-day,
was questioned regarding the
Georgia lynchings. He said 81
would like to speak at length
upon these Georgia occurrences
and others of like nature which
have taken place in recent years.
hut in view Of my position and
hopes in the interest of Tuskegee
institute in Alabama, and the ed.
ucation of our people, l feel con-
strained to keep silent and not
engage in any controversy that
might react upon the work to
which | am now lending my eff
forts.
Il do not mind adding said
the speaker, "that | am opposed
to mob violence under all circum-
Stances" Those guilty of crime
should be surely, swiftly and ter
ribly punished; but by legal meth.
DDS. As rule the men guilty of
these outrages are ignorant indi-
vidnals who have had no oppor-
tunity to secure an education and
moral restraint.
The solution of our present
difficulties is to be found in the
thorough mental, religious and
industrial education of both races
in the south. 1t is an encour-
aging fact to note that Of the
hundreds of colored men who
have been educated in the higher
institutions of the south, not one
has been guilty of assaulting a
woman"
Mr.. Washington tonight at the
Academy Of music addressed a
large audience in the interest of
the TusNesee institute. The only
reference he made TO the Georgia
lynchings was in the introduction
10 his address. when he said "In
the interest of the more far
reaching and fundamental work
which we ARE trying TO do at Tus
kegee, shall refrain from any
direct and detailed discussion of
the recent outrages in the south
which | know are uppermost in
your minds and hearts and which
make us bow our heads in sadness.
The only permanent remedy for
such crimes as have been recent
~ perpetrated in Georgia and the
only permanent remedy for mob
violence is in the thorough edu-
cation Of all the people of the
south-cducation that shall reach
the head, the hand, the heart"

1t is gratifying to the advocates

of Clemson college, but there is
also to be built an actual example
of modern macadam road from
this college to the Southern rail
way station. All the college
freights are hauled over this road.

face it is often in such condition
as to require two horses to haul

DR.. Anderson is young man well
prepared and thoroughly earnest
in his work. Minnesota is to be
congratulated.

ton One Hundred and Ten
Years Ago.

Now, therefore, I do recommend and
assign Thursday, the 26th day of No
vember. next, to be devoted by the peo-
pie of these states to the service of that
great and glorious Being who is the
benefcent author of all good that was,
that is or that will be; that we may
then all unite in rendering unto Him
our sincere and humble thanks for His
kind care and protection of the people
of this country previous to their be-
coming a nation, for the signal and
manifold mercies and the favorable in
Propositions of His Providence in the
course and conclusion of the late war,
for the great degree of tranquility,
union and plenty which we have since
enjoyed, for the peaceable and ra-
.tional manner in which we have been
enabled to establish constitutions of
government for our safety and happi-
ness, and particularly the national one
lately instituted, for the civil and re-
ligious liberty with which we are blessed
and the means we have of acquiring
and diffusing useful knowledge, and
in general for all the great and va
rious favors which He hath been pleased
to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in
most humbly offering our prayers and
supplications to the great Lord and
Ruler of nations and beseech Him to
pardon our national and other trans
gressions; to enable us all, whether in
public or private stations, to perform
our several relative duties properly and
punctually; to render our national gov
eminent q blessing to all the people
by constantly being a government of
wise, just and constitutional laws, di-
rectly and faithfully executed and
obeyed; to protect and guide all SOW
ereigns and nations, especially such as
have shown Kindness to us, and to bless
them with good government, peace and
concord; to promote the knowledge and
practice of true religion and virtue and
the increase of science among them and
us, and generally to grant unto all man
kind such degree of temporal prosper
ity as He alone knows to be best.

EFFORT WAS WASTED.
Pm Told HIS SON q Nice Little story
with . Moral, But It Was
UnavailinE.

I overheard couple Of well-known gen.
tlemen relating their experience in domestic
affairs few days ago. One of them said
his boy was inclined to devote too much
Of his time to athletic sports and neglect
his studies, while the other found his boy
devoting his energies to master half dozen
different musical instruments, which was
the cause of his neglecting duties assigned
him to perform.
II took the boy aside," said the parent,
"and told him the following story: A grass.
hopper wasted all the cheerful days Of sum-
mer skipping gay.y about in the fields and
enjoying himself, while the prudent ant
improved each hour by gathering food and
storing it away. When winter came, and
the thermometer registered in the vicinity
of zero, the graeshopper approached the
ant for the loan of provisions.
"But the ant said: What were you do
ing all summer?' oh, singing and dancing
eaid the grasshopper. oh, well, chop ice
now,' said the ant, SO the hungry grasshop-
per went away and dropped dead from cold
and hunger. thought the moral Of the
story was too plain for me to make further
comment, and as / was about to leave it
with him to think it over the little fellow
looked up and said: That's all right, pa,
but there seems to be just as many grass
hopgers.'

She had just washed the dishes and
was doing what ''redding up" seemed
indispensable, when a rap sounded on
the door and there entered q merry,
rosy-cheeked young girl, who apollo
gized for her early call and exclaimed
in ELUSIVE schoolgirl fashion,: 'What
do you think, Miss Matilda! We've
been expecting Uncle Dawes folks for
Thanksgiving, and made preparations
for them, and last night we heard that
they couldn't possibly be here. So
there we are, you see, with stuff enough
provided for all that lot of people and
only our family to eat it, and I'm rush
ing around this morning trying to find
some nice and conveniently disengaged
folks to come and help us, and do so
hope you and your mother are among
them. Now don't tell me you are en-
gagged; are you?"
Mrs. Powers looked up delightedly;
Miss Matilda smiled and shook her
head.

good enough to save your own Thanks

us with ours? Thsrell be some good

come; won't we, mother?"
eyes, indeed, we WILL" replied the
old lady, very emphatically, and, with
expressions of deep gratitude, Lottie
hurried away.
After helping her mother dress for
dinner, Miss Matilda went to church,
and at the close of the service. which
perhaps no one in the church entered
into with more thankfulness than she
did, she went home with Deacon
Trips family. Miss Gibson also ac-
companied them, and the '.other nice
GIRL stenographer who was almost
stranger in town, and whose heart had
been made warm by the unexpected at
tention, the invitation being the more
welcome from the fact that she board

but can't. I've been tempted to some
times, but 1t doesn't seem right, and I
don't believe could anyhow. It isn't

'sThank you, Miss Gibson" said Mrs.
Garfield. II shall find Miss Powers,
and if her work proves satisfactory,
will let her have all our dressmaking
besides other sewing and will pay her
reasonably for it. The workman ID

that she can have enough other work at

The next day as Miss Matilda was
finishing Miss Pringle's dress and try
ing to forget the state of the coal bin
while she sang: ''How firm a founda-
ton, We saints of the Lord she was in
terrupted by gentle knock on the
door. She opened it, and in a few
minutes it seemed to her that she
had at the same time opened the door
into a new life. f4
Mrs. Canfield's call did not mean af-
fuence, certainly, but it did mean abil-
ity to pay the expenses of her little
home with comparative ease; it meant
better food, warmer clothing, plenty of
fuel, and little leisure for recreation.
1t meant, too, a still firmer clasp of the
Fathers hand.
Mrs. Denton was dismayed and some
what wrathful when she found that
Miss Matilda would no longer sew for
her at the old reasonable" rates, but.
finding her work poorly done at other
places, and wishing to have her clothes
made by Mrs. Canfield's dressmaker,
her lapse of patronage was of short
duration.
Miss Matilda still has all the work
that she can do; and every day is a day
of thanksgiving.-C. A. Parker, in n.
