Let the Negro get together for his
own good, and the members of his race
and he will amount to more. He
would be of more benefit to himself
and race, if he was not given over to
prejudice, hate to see the members of
his race in a prosperous condition.
Matters not what avocation in life the
black man follows or what plea he makes
to the dominant races, there is ALWAYS
some begrudgeful black scoundrel say
ing something or is working against his
interest, when he would as a race man
work for the memOers of his race. The
Negro needs self-reliance and unity of
forces to amount to anything in the
history OF this great country. Enter.
prises, industrial education and the Sc
curing of land and homes is very good,
but he needs unity and closer reliance
and then he can solve the Negro prob
lem that confronts him more easier
than with all the other things present.

ling jolly time and of learning
lots Of iisefi,l things besides.
The building resembles vast
bee hive, and approaching it one
hears the hum OF the human bees.
Tie basement is well lighted with
electric tights, aud here are held
the classes in cookery, carpentry
and wood carving. The secoud
floor, "KeHny hall" is used for

management of Miss Marry Hall,

at the door, aud, otter the coats
and hats are checked, sends Them

their evenings. So she secured a
room, gathered a few boys together
aud read to them stories, furnish

history geology and other subjects.
The boys-were delighted, aud she
met with them once week, the
number OF boys gradually increas-

They soon had to seek larger
quarters, aud after z time. the boys
undersher supervision, organized,
adopted constitution and bylaws
and selected officers from their
own number. The plan had moth

day school. The idea was mainly
to entertain the boys with interest
ing games, stories, illustrated pa
pers, etc.
The meeting had such attractions
for the boys that they usually
cane with companions from their
circle Of pIaymates, and their
quarters soon grew too small.
larger rooms were procured: they
were opened two orthree evenings
"a week, aud finally every evening
except Sunday. Entertainments
were given to the boys from time
to time, these being contributed
by friends. Gradually they secnr

Philadelphia, June 22.-Speak-

brough Of North Dakota said: II
have attended the last four Re-
publican national conventions, and
| was never so confident that the.
right thing had been done as l am
with the nomination of Mckinley
and Roosevelt. The more I think
of it the more confidence I have
over the result Contrary to the
predictions of some that this was
a cut-and-dried affair, managed by
a few individuals, the fact must
not be lost sight of that all the
delegates who came here were,
first for Mckinley, and second for
Roosevelt. The second place was
not decided upon in advance. 1t
was an open field as far as the
candidates were concerned, and it
must be clear to every one that
the convention selected the most
popular man in the United States,
excepting of course, Mckinley
himself. Every one leaves this
convention thoroughly pleased
with what has been done, and with
the determination to see that the
action of the convention is in
dorsed in November. North Da-
kota will give Mckinley and
Roosevelt anywhere from 10000
to 10000 majority"
