Mr.. HUNTINGTON AND THE Ne
GROES
A TRIBUTE FROM BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
HIS INTEREST IN THE TUS-
KEGEE SCHOOL

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Since the death Of Coils P. Huntington,
have been much interested in reading what has
been said about his life.
For more than ten years It was my privilege to
know Mr.. Huntington and to come II close
contact with him. Perhaps because was
member of another and unfortunate race, who
had no claims upon him, gave opportunity
70 really know the higher and better
life of the man better than some 9TH
ers. The first time I saw Mr. Hunt
ington he gave me 50 for our school at Tus-
kegee; the last time 7 saw him he gave me
$4,000 toward the endowment OF our school
Mr.. Huntington not only aided our school at
Tuskegee financially, but he took a deep and
personal interest not only in the Hampton and
Tuskegee schools, as well as others, but in the
entire negro race
Many times when have met him at his home
or at his Office have wondered how a man who
was burdened with such tremendous RESPONSE
bilities could find the time TO talk with me at
so great length about the welfare Of our school
and the race Often have gone to his Office IN
the midst OF his most busy days, and he would
spend an hour in getting information and giving
advice regarding the elevation Of the negro race.
He not only did this but I received from him
many long letters in which he took the greatest
pains to point out the best way for the conduct
Of our school and the education OF the race.
When travelling in the South, in his private
humble black man.
To me his heart always seemed tender
that OF a child, and I never went to him for
anything that he thought our school at Tuskegee
needed that he did not assist in securing. Only
a short while before he died he learned in some
way that the work at Tuskegee would be made
more efficient If we could secure an additional
boiler and engine. AS as he learned this
he told that he wanted to provide these for
US. In order TO be sure that secured just
what was needed he gave his personal attention
to seeing that the proper boiler and engine were
bought and shipped to US.
At another time, when called 70 see him at
| his country home. when he learned that I had
walked from the station TO his house he had his
carriage got ready, and drove me himself to the
station when I returned. So I could continue
| relating incident after incident that to
showed the greatness and goodness as well as
the simplicity of this rare
1t does not cost much effort or goodness Of
heart to treat well those who equals in
wealth and social standing, but It seems to
tie true test of the man comes when he is
| thrown in contact with those who are his in
feriors IN the death Of Coils P. Huntington
my race has lost a great, wise and true friend

ticed it. Gaines began to be alarmed.
He ran from one to another. Appar-
emily there was not a human creature
present who had the eye to see a trace
of that likeness upon which his fate
depended. So it seemed that James
coming would only heighten the inn
probability of his tale, already weaken
ed by delay.
Many of the people whom he ques-
toned spoke of a strong resemblance
between Miss Clair and Olive Trask, a
young lady whom Gaines had met sew
eral years before. Would it be possible
to substitute her in this story? His ac-
quaintance was just sufficient to war
rant him in addressing her. He
couldn't call her little girl" but prob
ably the fact that he had used those
words would not come out in the ex-
PLANTATION.
A sudden resolution seized him. He
would take the risk. Fearing that his
courage would ooZe away if he hest
tated, he sought Miss Clair at once.
AS luck would have it. he found her
with Jessie Bingham and Olive Trask.
To his great delight, Miss Trask greet
ed him very cordially. His courage
mounted higher
Miss Clair" said he boldly, "I
think there'll never be a better time
than this to set myself right for the
unfortunate mistake l made this after

Twenty-third street, mistOok you for
Miss Trask, whom l have known some
years. 1t was very embarrassing, of
course, but you kindly promised to for

Miss Clair. "Why, nothing of the sort

that our friends have said about us,
AS to the incident on Twenty-third

your apology to the young lady whom
you actually accosted. if you can find
her.
! There was q moment of awful ST.
! lence, and then Miss Trask came Ia
the rescue, boldly if somewhat in

"Well, as Mr.. Gaines thought it was

ing how to finish her sentence.
Gaines groaned.
At this critical moment who should
appear but Cousin Jane! She was hail
ed as the deliverer from an awkward
situation.
"Oh, Miss Clair" she exclaimed, 81
am so glad to see you again! See Il
