HAVANA STRIKE SERIOUS.

HAVANA, Sept. 2O.-The strike has
assumed serious proportions. 1t is
now estimated that there are 10000
striking masons, painters, carpenters,
cart men and laundry workers, and if,
as is threatened, the hackmen, steve
dores and cigarmakers strike, within
the next few days there will be anoth-
er 1000.
The cart men went out today, there
by paralyzing the wholesale business
houses. They give as a reason for
their action the unfair treatment they
have been receiving at the hands of the
police, majority Of the cart men be-
ing Spaniards.
Many reliable business men say that
this strike of the cart men is the only
legitimate strike. 1t is asserted that
the police shamefully abuse their au-
thority over cart men, endeavoring to
get them to talk back, so as to have
pretext to take them to prison and to
accuse them next day of insulting the
police

WILL ADD A COOKING SCHOOL.
New Department Feature In the
COIOred College.

New Department a Feature In the
CoIored College.
One Of the most important steps taken
by the commissioners for the Georgia
State Industrial College for Colored
Youth, was the adoption of the suggestion
Of President R. r. Wright to give an OPP
portunity to the girls who attend the
school 70 learn cooking. This is a new fea-
ure and is likely to prove to be a valuable
addition to the school. A first-class cook
ing teacher will be engaged, and the art
OF cooking viii be taught in the most APP
proved style. Plain sewing and dress
making was introduced last year, and gave
great satisfaction.
Ihis school gives excellent opportunities
to boys to learn any one of eight trades
shoemaking, tailoring, bricklaying, car
pehtfy, WheelWirght and blacksmith,
painting and farming. There is now no
reason why every colored boy should not
thoroughly fit himself for life of use
fitness
hy the management of President Wright
tAe cost of board has been reduced TO the
exceedingly small sum of S. per month.
IA's places the school in the reach of the
poorest boy. While the school gives
good common school education, it is es-
Senqally work school, and is doing a
Eooa service for the colored people of the
state.
