President Booker T. Washington of
Tuskegee Institute spoke before the
colored people of Saratoga Springs a
few nights ago, and among other ut
terances said: This is not the first
time that I have been at this great re-
sort; it is but a comparatively few
years ago that l was here as a waiter
in one of the large hotels, hardly able
to secure enough to procure the neces-
saries of life. AS matter of fact l had
only one pair of stockings, and L was
forced to wash them out myself on Sat-
urday night and let them dry on Sun
day in order to go to work in a respect
able condition on Monday morning.
My advice to the colored people is
this: Don't care so much for dress, but
use every effort to accumulate money
in bank. There never yet was a col
ored man that could not find a white
brother who wanted to borrow his
money if he had any to lend, and you
can always find good collateral. just
bear this fact in mind, that the Ameri-
can dollar is the one thing about which
there is no prejudice. Here is the cue
for the colored man"
One of the most interesting incidents
connected with the recent journey of
President and Mrs. Mckinley through
the south was the visit they made tc

The complete arrangements for the
festivities of Labor day by the trade
and labor organizations of Worcester
are presented in the news columns of
The Spy this morning. 1t will be oh
served that there is a radical departure
from the custom that has heretofore
marked the gala day of the bread vim
ner, and it may be said in passing that
it is taken all in ALL rather satisfac-
tory change. The long parades have
been tiresome affairs, at the best, and
not altogether to the liking of men who
are forced to exercise their muscles on
nearly all the remaining 1854 days of the
year. The festivities as they are now
planned, give better opportunity for
the members of these great organiza
tions to become more thoroughly &C
quainted and to Undue from the utter
ances of their leaders the educational
lines that, after all, make up the key
stone of their success. 1t must be ad-
mitted by the members of labor unions
that the great strength and power OF
their organizations lies in the use ami
not in the abuse of their strength Let
the watchword of every trade union and
labor organization in Worcester be OR
ganize and educate" and there will be
no fear for the result,

A CoNGREGATIoNAL YEAR.

There can be only one more appropri-
second international council of Congre-
grational churches, and that of course
is Plymouth. One may speak of Puri-
tan Boston, but never of Puritan Ply
mouth. The Pilgrims were Congrega-
tionalists, not Churchmen of Epsco-
palians, as is the more common desig-
nation in this country. Merged as the
Plymouth colony finally was in the
Massachusetts Bay colony, the infiu-
ence of the Pilgrims and their success
ors was long paramount among the
plain people of New England, and Con-
gregationalists were for years by far
the most numerous and most powerful
denomination. They have scarcely part
ed with this prestige even now. The in
spiration of Plymouth marked out and
settled the western reserve, crossed the
Mississippi, passed over the Rocky
Mountains and reached the Golden Gate
of the Pacific. The whole country has
felt its power.
1t is in New England that Congrega-
tionalism had it's homestead, and hither
its widely scattered children return as
for pilgrimage Boston is the metro
polls of New England, and to that ex-
tent is representative. Moreover it has
been the seat of the most important
missionary and charitable enterprises
Of the denomination, and the home Of
many of its most distinguished preach
ers. When, therefore, the distinguished
body Of delegates from old England
comes to Boston for the second inter-
national council, which begins Septem-
Der 20, they will be at the very fireside
of American Congregationalism 1t is
eight years since the first council was
held in London, and the results Of that
assembly were SO conspicuous and salu-
tary that second was deemed newt
able, but more than the five years al
lowed were necessary in order to bring

Pension Commissioner Evans has
achieved the unusual record of keep
ing his department within the appro-
priation for the year and of reporting a
decrease of 2195 pensioners. The dis
bursements for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1899, were 81, sos, 472 less than
those for the preceding year, and Mr.
Evans had the distinction of return
ing to the treasury an unexpended bal
,ance of $1,S571SS out of a total appro-
priation of $140, 900. Neither the
commissioner nor anybody else sup
posed that this sum would cover the
expenses of the department, but strict
administration and faithful enforce
ment of the law have combined to
bring about the gratifying result. Crit
icism of Commissioner Evans is noto-
riously the inspiration of pension at
torneys, who find it less easy to play
the department with the same success
that they previously enjoyed. For the
current year the pension list must in
evitably increase. Already 16, 9S6 claims
have been presented on account of the
Spanish war, and about 300 have been
granted. Claims on account of the
Philippine war are yet to be heard
from, but the list of $500 killed and
wounded gives some hint of what may
be expected.

gee, Alabama, in the very heart OF the
BLACK belt" was established about 10
years ago in an abandoned church, INTO
which 80 untaught negro boys and girls
were gathered for the opening session.
Now it has a thousand pupils and 40
buildings, all but the first three Of
which have been built by the pupils
themselves even to the making of the
bricks, as a part of their industrial ed
ucation. Booker T. Washington who
had not long before been graduated
from Hampton, went to Tuskegee when
the school was opened, and the re-
markable growth and success of the in
stitute have been largely due to his en-
ergy and ability.
Mr.. Washington, who is now about 40
years old, was born a slave in Virginia.
After the war he learned to read while
working as errand boy for northern
woman then living in the south. Hear
ing of Hampton, he worked his way
over the mountains to that school, and
stayed until he was graduated. No
small amount of his success at Tuske-
gee is due to the efficient assistance of
his wife Mrs. Washington's work
among the neglected wives of the pow
stricken negro farmers on the
plantations has been specially notable,
The most unique feature of Tuskegee,
and one which President Mckinley
commended publicly while there, is the
famous farmers conference" which
every February assemblies there, and
when 1000 negro farmers and their wives
meet under Mr. Washington's leader
ship to talk over things"

The prohibitionists of Pennington,
Pa, do not lack the courage of their
convictions. Unable to legally rid them
selves of the saloons, they have under
taken to remove them illegally. When
they see a saloon that they think ought
to go they saturate it with petroleum,
apply a match, and it goes. This kind
of a prohibition campaign is not to be
commended, but it is certainly effective
The prohibitlonists of Pennington are

The rapid development of the trolley
system is shown by the project of the
Pennsylvania railroad to parallel its
steam line and by the acquisition of ex-
listing trolley lines, make complete con-
nections between Jersey City and
Washington. The purpose is to relieve
the main line from the pressure of both
passenger and freight traffic at way
stations The magnitude of the plan
given out is quite in keeping with the
reputation of the Pennsylvania com
pany.

The successful results of the Balti-
more and Ohio receivership will long
stand as a monument to honest and
able railroad management in this coun-
try. The receivers went to the bottom
of things and did their work thorough
ly. This amounted to nothing less than
a complete re-equipment of the road
1t required the expenditure of $S5, OOO, 900
to accomplish this, but the game was
well worth the candle, for when it was
done the road was in the best of condi-
ton and once more upon a self-sup-
porting basis In short, the receivers
turned over to the stockholders more
than they received from them. Their
labors involved the purchase of 123,O1O
tons of steel rails, costing $2,142, O0O
cross-ties worth $2,2OO,OOO, ballast cost
ing $525,000 besides $3.50 box
cars 6751 wooden gondola cars,
and 80 other cars, costing in
all $17,O0O,OOO. The PIG locomotives cost
about $2,5OO,OOO New steel bridges were
built at an outlay of $780, and as
much more money was spent in impfov-
ing terminals. The amount paid in three
years to employees making the i'm
provements was nearly $12,OOO,OOO OF
the money spent about SIS, 100000 was
raised on receivers certificates, and the
balance through car trusts, earnings
from the property and from the reor-
ganization managers. Materials were
bought when prices were low and bust
ness slack so that rails, cars and loco
motives could hardly be replaced now
for $5000,0OO more than was paid for
them at the time
