A BENEFlcENT PRINCESS.

The Isle of Wight is the favorite resi-
dence of Princess Henry of Battenberg,
ana this gentle lady never wearies of
good deeds which may benefit the in
habitants of the little island which
owns her as governor. Recently her
royal highness invited the wounded
soldiers staying in the Convalescent
Home at Cowes to take a trip in her
private steam yacht, and a most en-
ioyable cruise around the Needles and
Alum bay was the result. No doubt
the pleasure of the invalids was much
enhanced by the fact that Princess Be
atrice. her two sons and her daughter
were also on board.

there is something revolving in too

Hstlessly, finally yawning into her muff

/ remember on one occasion the sales
man showed her charming gilt en-

Mr.. Board claimed that citizens had
q right to such training and equipment
as would make them self-supporting
and capable of properly exercising the
function Of individual sovereignty, and
he marveled that any state should be
so shOrtsighted as TO neglect to so
manage its educational benefits as to
deny TO any part Of her citizenship
the safeguards against idleness, crime,
pauperism and illiteracy. He held that
the ballot was the prime essential TO
the DEVELOPMENT Of the Negro as true
citizen. and demanded that he be
given free opportunity to express him
self in the enactment Of legislation
affecting his destiny and TO pass upon
the men who should be charged with
executing the laws under which he
must live. He closed with this signifi-
cant utterance:
"If it is maintained that the Negro
has not acted wisely in his faithfulneSs
and devotion to one party, be il said
in his favor that he did so in the be
lief that the tenets and principles Of
that party were for the best interests

Mr.. T.. NJ. Gregory responded hap
PLY to the toast Higher Education, -
and particularly addressed himself TO
those who have been pleased to say
that higher education has made the
Negro dissatisfied and unhappy. He
showed in clever style the necessity
for the higher forms of knowledge If
one would comprehend the beauty and
inner spirit Of the things about Us, and
understand the magnificent pOSsibill-
ties that belonged TO life and nature
He did not dispute that trades and me-
chanical instruction might be best for
the great majority, but to the leaders
of thought and action the higher train
ing Of mind and soul was an absolute
necessity if the race would make for
itself a place in the galaxy Of the inn
