FOR THE POOR WHITES.
Earnest Plea Made For Them by Rev
MI. Webster.

Rev. William r, Webster delivered
three sermons in Portland yesterday at
the Methodist churches, in which he made
an earnest plea in behalf of the poor
white element scattered all through the
South. He Is vice president of the NAL
lalieu seminary, and field secretary of the
U. S. Grant university of Tennessee,
for the poor Ewhites. He said that
institutions which minister to such a
people should be helped in accomplishing
their mission. They are our own people,
retarded, but still a hopeful people,
generally unknown to the country at
large, and full of interesting possibilities.
Several of our great statesmen, includ-
ing jackson, Lincoln and johnson, were
of the some noble ancestry, having COM
mingled in their blood the heroic quail
ties of the French Huguenots and Scotch
Presbyterians. James Robertson, the
Scotch ancestor, has been described as
Miles Standish, without his extreme
puritanism, and John Brown without
his fanaticism. John Sewer, their
Huguenot ancestor, was the equal if not
the superior of this Presby terrain pioneer
comrade.
While we are doing so much for the
Cubans, Hawaiians and others, we sure
~ should not forget these three or four
million native Americans
The endowment and new buildings
required for the MaIalieu seminary and
the Medical college building for the
Grand university should be cheerfully
contributed by the republic that owes
many thanks to these hospitabIe and
loyal poor whites, for an undivided ma
ton,
The Immediate needs of the seminary,
so DIR. Webster has stated. are 100
additional acres of land, a college
building where the Industrial arts
may be taught, and another dormi-
tory to accommodate those who are anx.
ious to enter the seminary. The school,
which is non-sectarian, is under the di-
rection of the Freedman's Aid and
Southern Education society of Cincin.
natl This society has nearly fifty insti-
buttons in the South. colleges, academies,
normal schools, medical institutions
manned by more than 500 teachers, at
tended by $1,000 students, with two mil
lion dollars worth of property. Ar
army is marching out Of these school:
every year, going forth as teachers
skilled mechanics and leaders of better
civili zation.

AN EYE OPENER FoR JOHN BULL.
From The London Mail.

From The London Mail.
The tramway exhibition, which is on private
view at the Agricultural Hall to-day and opens
to the public tomorrow, is a Standing impeach-
ment OF British trade.
The electric street railway business promises
to be one of the most profitable and fourishing
of the newer industries. 1t is Impossible to
meet the demand of the scores of borOughs
anxious to obtain new tramway outfits. Yet
this exhibition shows that British firms al
most wholly out of it.
The trade has been largely annexed by Ameri-
cans, and the little Western cousins have
left has gone to BelSians and Germans. Ameri-
can tramway firms have come over to England
set up their works here, and sweeping all
before them.
There are many handsome tramcarS on show
a complete contrast to the old horse trans But
best of them all is the specimen car of the new
installation on the West London lines. This is a
Scottish make though built after the specifica-
tions of an American engineer.
The new West London car is a dream of
luxury. On the roof polished brd'S-eye
maple and carved dark wood. Thick art green
curtains screen the great plateglass windows.
Abundant electric lights in handsome cutgIass
globes are scattered all about. There are thick
soft cushions on the seats and for the passen-
gers to lean against. Little electric bell pushes
are within easy reach of every one so that it
will be easy to signal the conductor to stop the
car Nothing like these cars has been seen in
London streets before.

suffer with pulmonary trouble should be kept
as cheerful possible, and as light work is
highly conducive to that condition, keep our
patients as busy as their condition will permit
Their light work is in the open air. and they are
better for it, and the place profits by their
labor also Sitting about with nothing to do
gives even healthy people too much opportunity
to think about their physical condition; work
makes them forget their ailments in a measure.
The patients sleep in rooms having wide open
windows, they exercise. receive hygienic insruc-
ton. and while practise hydrotherapy
tenSiVely, medicines are used sparingly. Our
object is to receive only such patients in whom
the disease has not advanced the hopeless
stage, those in whom see prospects of i'm
prOvement. if not cure and who by coming here
may under the proper treatment become able to
earn a living at least eight months in the year"
The new buildings are of wood on stone foun-
dations, and have been built after plans by

no pretence is made to elegance or elaborate
decoration, the place is pleasing to the eye and

country home and not the institution The
group of buildings stands ground four hun
dred feet above the sea level and from all sides
there is a fine view of the beautiful, unduIating
country The air is pure, and patients who are
admitted to the Home find themselves in an at
mosphere which suggests the North Woods or
the mountains along the Hudson River
There is a central building about sixty feet
square and two stories high, which will contain
the offices and the living rooms of the staff and
a large dining hall for the patients On either
side Of this building are two wings 100 feet
long and 80 feet wide Two of these are for men
and one each for women and children. An in

buildings, and back of this corridor there are the
