The action of the AfrO-American
council at Chicago the other day in
cxpelIing the talented negro leader,
Booker T. Washington. is to be de-
plored. Through all the past years OF
oppression the negro has been singu-
larly patient In spite of color preju-
dice which has closed the avenues of
toll against him in many instances he
has steadily advanced and has shown
himself in countless cases to be
better citizen than the individual who
would condemn him to serVitude in the
lowest walks of life. 1t is therefore
matter of regret that the wise coun-
sells of men like Booker r. Washington
which have heretofore kept the negro
leaders from following the. teachings
of malicious agitators, could not have
prevailed Little can be gained in the
interest of the colored race by adopt
ing resolutions denouncing the admin
istration of President Mckinley, or the
earnest worker in the interest Of his
race who has been designated as trail
tor by his brethren at Chicago.

GIFT TO ORPHAN GIRLS
Prncely Charity of Prof Munyon, Wealthy
Citizen of Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 29.--(Special ,
As direct result Of the princely gener-
osity of Prof. James M. Munyon a
wealthy and prominent citizen of Phila-
delphia, another will shortly be added to
this city's many charitable institutions,
which will do for orphaned girls exactly
what Glrard college is doing for boys. 1t
will educate them along practical lines
to such degree as to fit them for self
supporting positions upon graduation.
The site of the proposed college lies be-
tween the old Lancaster road and
Georges Hill, in Paramount park, and
includes about thirty acres of rolling
ground, all OF which has recently been
purchased by Prof. Munyon for the purz
pose of constructing thereon q number
of buildings, which, grouped around one
large central structure will in future be
known the 'Munyon College for
Girls" 1t Is understood that within a
few months ground will be broken pre-
paratory to beginning the work of con-
structing the new buildings, plans for
which have already been drawn by some
Of the most eminent architects il town
According to the present plans of Mr.
Munyon the college is 10 cost him as q
starter just s., 900 to build. In add
ton to this he has further announced his
intention Of providing for the permanent
maintenance Of the college at his per-
sonal expense, and, it is understood, will
endow 1t heavily. A board Of trustees
will be appointed for the purpose of con-
Quoting the business Of the college on
much the same plan on which other SIM
liar institutions have been so successful
ly managed.
The college is to be entirely for the
benefit Of native born American girls,
either orphaned or fatherless, who have
no relatives to depend upon for support
and are thus thrown upon their own re-
sources. Girls will be taken into this
school at the age Of ten and will be
graduated at the age of eighteen, thor

to Convention.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator But
Ter. North Carolina, chairman Of the Peo-
pies party, yesterday sent out letter to
each of the national committeeman Of
that organization asking them number
of questions, the answers to which will
determine the plans and purposes of the
Populist party. AS long ago as the spring
OF 1898 the Populists decided to hold their
convention in advance Of all other parties
IN 1910 as a concession to the middle-of-
the-road, or radical faction of the party.
Senator Buffers letter is as follows:
Sir: AS you know, the national COM
n1ttee. at it's last meeting at Omaha, in
June, 1888, passed resolution known as
the Omaha agreement to the effect that
our national convention should be held at

tional committee has just held q meet
ing and selected June, 1900, as the time
for their next national convention The
Democratic committee has been called to
meet Feb % to fix a date for their con-
vention They will probably hold their
convention a week or two before, or
week or two after the Republican con-
vention write now to get the consen-
sus Of opinion of our national commit
tee on the following points:
"F1rst-Shall [ call meeting Of the ma
tional committee to fix the time of our
next national convention?
"Second-If yes, what time and place do
you favor for %he coming meeting?
H. "Third-Or shall take the vote of the
national committee as to the time of hold
ing the next national convention by. refer
endum vote?
"Fourth-If you favor the referendum
vote, what date do you favor for the next
national convention?
"Fifth---Still invite the Silver Repub-
lican- national convention to meet at the
same time and. place with us? -
81 submit the fifth question because
notice that at the recent meeting of the
national executive committee of the Sill
ser Republican party there was a strong
sentiment expressed in favor. of holding
their convention at the same time and
place as ours, with the view Of agreeing
on the same national ticket.
Senator Butler expects that the commit
teemen to whom this letter has been ad-
dressed will reply promptly, and that
within the next two weeks he will be
able to decide definitely what course to
pursue.

becomes plain that Gavins parishioners
