Journal ''The journey to the town is
made in ox-teams. and may require a
weeks or a months time, but it is al

at former Nachtmaals, may summon
enough courage to ask her whether he
may call at her home and have an

pended under the direction Of the sever
al faculties. The sum of 500 approprI-
ated for chemical apparatus was used
by the professor Of chemistry. physics,

The medical department of Howard

poets. Alarge number of students have
matrioulsted, and the secretary reports
that there will be over 200 students In
the medical, dental and pharmaceutic
colleges OF the University.
All of the instructors and professors
are ready for the years work in their
special branches except DR.. @. b. PuT-

Scholarships for High School Boys.

The scholarships offered graduates of
the Washington High School, by the
School Of Pharmacy and the Dental
School of Howard University have
been allotted this year 10 Benjamin F.
Rallstorks in pharmacy and James
Slaughter in dentistry both Of the class
Of 1900. These scholarships are valu-
able. They mean free tuition for the
full course. The spirit Of the medical
school faculty that prompted this
splendid contribution to the profes
sional education of our BOYS and girls
is highly commendatory. The medical
school of Howard University takes
very high rank among the schools of
medicine in this country. 1t has, In
deed. peculiar advantages as to hospital
practice that are uneKcelled anywhere.
No school in the country has done
more for young coIored men than this
one. It's broad and catholic spirit is
shown in this generous offer to gradu-
ates of cur local high school. The COM
munity is justly proud Of the splendid
medical school of Howard University
and its very able faculty, OF which DR..

and it was not long before the boy had
msde for himself re cord as being hon
est and Industrious. In December '89,
he Wended his way to WilberfOrce
University at Xenia, Ohio, and for four
years he diligently prosecuted his stud
les and buiIded firmer the foundation
for his future usefulness. He went to
Terre Haute, Indiana, wherehe entered
a business college and remained until
he graduated with credit and honor.
1t was business that was uppermost
In mis- mind as is shown In his career.
He served as corresponding secretary
to Major Defreese OF the u. 8. A., at
the Grand Army Encampment OF the
State of Indiana in 1898, an exalted po.
sltiOn for a young man, and especially
cOlored man. In 1894 he accepted
the editorial chair of the Ultimatum,
published at Hot Springs, Ark. and
the paper grew and prospered; was
read by thousands and was greatly ap-
preciated. He severed his connection
with the paper and in 1898 he formed
the firm Of Wilson & MCLendOn, whole
sale and retail liquor dealers, and this
house is one of the largest in the state.
They enjoy fine trade and their cheek
will be accepted for as many thousands
OF dollars as they choose to give. They
are rated In the commercial world at
$40 900. Mr. McLendon was present at
the Boston meeting and made pro-
nounced logical speech on the problem
affecting our race. 1t was an exposl'
tion of facts solid as they were, and
he brought forth wealth as solution
to this vexing, troublesome question
Mr.. McLendon's speech was equally
as well received as it was delivered.
His life Is free from the old, old, yeI

National Convention of Social Democratic Party Has Begun Its Session
 in Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 6.-The first national convention of the social demo- cratic party for the purpose of nominat t.ng candidates for president and vice president met today at 10 o'clock in Reichwn hall.
 About fifty delegates were present Many were expected to arrive during the day. Several of the delegates carried proxies.
 The two matters of importance before the convention are the nominations and ab- sorption of the socialistic labor party, which is a bolting section of the social la bor party, of which Daniel DeLeon of New York was the dividing power. His side was sustained in court in a controversy over the party emblem The bolting section named J. B. Hartman, of California, for president, and Max Hayes, of Cleveland, O., for vice president.
 1t Is proposed taat the socialist labor party has approximately 15,000 members and wLll anlargamate with the social democrats and accept the nominees of that party.
 There Is also some talk, favored by State Secretary Walters, of the popuAst commit- tee of a fusion with the middle of the road popuists. D. V. Debs, V. l.. Berger and other labor leaders say however, that the social democrats w1l enter into fusion with party, but wiL absorb any.
 It is now believed that Eugene V. Deibe will be made the presidential candidate 1f he should be nominated, Hartman will sikeGy be the candidate for vice president
