The steadily advancing hostility, OF the
ever increasing toldness OF its display,
toward the Negro in the United States,
should cause well-founded alarm and
inspire the Negro and his friends to re-
newed fort to find or develop an ade

are being curtailed, school houses have

Ine 1our main lines of instruction
are the history, the philosophy, the
science, and the practice Of education.
The work in general education aims
| CD TO acqusint the student with those
principles and practices of education
which have changed the methods OF
secular schools and established them
upon a psychological hasls; <2) to lay a
broad culture in the student himseI;
and 81 to create spirit OF enthusiastic
devotion to the highest OF all work. the
instruction Of little ch'ld. The Uni
versity has made every effolt toinclude
in the corps Of instructors and lecturers
in this department some of the best
educators Of the country, numbering
among them such men as Prof. Chick
erlng, professor in Gsllaudet College,
DR.. Klemm, specialist in the Bureau f
Education, and a we'll known author
OF school text books; DR.. Mayo, who
for nineteen years has lectured on edu-
cational subjects before the various
colleges throughout the country; Or.
Harris, United States Commissioner of
Education; w. B. Powell, late Supt.,
of the Washington Public Schools;
while as stated above the general direc-
ton has been placed In the hands of
Prof Lewis B. Moore, A. M. Ph. D.,
graduate of Fisk University and a
post post graduate Of the University of
Pennsylvania where he won the degree
Of Phi. D., under such men as the emil
nent Dr.. Fullerton; Drs. LambertoD
and Gudemann, the latter graduate
Of the University of Berlin. Prof. Moore
also pursued a special course under DR.. |

He is also member of the American
Pathological Association, which fact in
itself is certificate of merit
Under sueh an excellent head this
department can not fail 10 do much for
all who will present themselves as can
didates for it's instruction. 1t particular
ly appeals to professional educators of
various grades who desire to fit them
selves for positions in colleges, normal
schools and higher Institutions of learn
Ing, or who wish to equip themselves
for the management of individual
schools or city systems. 1t offers an
opportunity for young men and women
to fit themselves to successfully carry
on the work that the prejudice of the
S outh Is discontinuing, and to rational

be as nearly perfect as those of which
we are being deprived.
This department has the furthur ad-
vantage of being part OF large uni

The death of Capt. John Mustard
on Friday and Congressman John H.
HOffecker on Saturday, gave Smyrna
a peculiar distinction for a town of its
size in having two of it's prominent cit
liens each lying corpse at the same
time. Capt Mustard had rounded
out nearly a century, the most
of the time a resident of this town and
was a man of strong character though
confning his operations to his immed-
late vicinity.
John H. Hoffecker lived to his al
lotted time-three score and ten-with
an addition of nearly three years
more, and dropped off abruptly when
at the acme of his influence. 1t was
like a sturdy oak going down
before a single first blast of mighty
wind-without a chance to recover it.
self. Mr.. Hoffecker's sphere of in
huence was one of ever widening cir
cles. 1t passed out beyond that OF
locality to the county, from the county
to the State. and from the State to the
National Car'.. In every position
there was the same individuality, the
same fixedness of purpose, the same
fidelity to duty that made him the peer
of those who at times would dazzle
with their rhetoric. 1t was this de-
votion to principle and general regard
for the interest of others that brought
to him the good will of the people al
manifested in the unusual respect paiC
his memory in the last sad rites at the
funeral to-day.

EVERY day tells new tale of horror
in China, and it looks as if the Chinese
have determined in their hostility to
foreigners, to open the way for them
in the ''Flowery Kingdom. 1t is
stated that a number of foreigners
mostly missionaries have been killed,
as also Japanese and German foreign
ministers killed in Pekin, and that
much property have been pillaged and
burned. 1t is apparent that the rebel
lion got beyond the control of the
Chinese Government, and the foreign
powers have got to march to Pekin
protect their legations. They have
united to the amount of 1000 men and
the japanese have landed several
thousand troops in China. The forts
at Taku have also been taken and sew
eral nations have landed troops at that
place. All nations consider the con-
ditiOn there very grave.

Dress Goods

Here's what fashion is do
ing and is going to do this
summer and early fall:
Sleeves of all tailor-made
suits are a little wider at the
top-more like a mans coat
sleeve-and short enough for
the shirt waist cuff to peep
from under.
Eaton coats of burlap-or
linen crash (5oc a yard), or of
natural linen Use to 35c), are
pleated or strapped into shape
and hold it, strange as it
seems, as we'll as cheviot or
serge.
What beauties they are!
Tailored skirts are pleated
to the knee, flaring below, just
as in the early spring no
matter whether of linen, cot
.ton or wool.
White serge has jumped
back into favor, but mostly
with the luxurious.
Dresses are still made of
clinging stuffs-barege (S1 to
S2.5o), black crepe de chine
Il to So and grenadine (5oc
to SII.5o), and by the way,
grenadine pleated into boleros
is one of the best late spring
things, and bound to be un-
common because it is one of
Fashions last thoughts. Just
as the Raqntn sleeve was held
back until all but Paquin's
patrons had completed their
spring wardrobes.
