NEGRO EDUCATION

The New York Journal of Monday
contains a number of letters discuss
ing the question "How Education
Will Solve the So Called Negro
Problem. One of these is Bishop
Dudley, of Kentucky, native of
Richmond, and another is from Clark
Howell, editor of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition.
Mr.. Howell says she believes in
the education of the negro, and "be
lleyes 1t PROFESSIONALLY ceuefts
them" but by mo imaginable pro
cess can the black man reach the
level Of the whites" The negro
qnestion"will slove its self in time. -
he thinks.
Bishop Dudley is of the opinion
that a negro, ''whOse intelligence is
sharpeued by the training of the
school-room, but whose moral nature
remains undeveloped, is but a more
dangerous animal" He is perfectly
sure that the negro is capable of
such education of the conscience as
that he cannot receive mental train
ing and can be made skilful in the
use Of his hands; but, adds the Bish-
Op, 81 am also sure that his education
must include all these three elements
at the same time, if be is to become
a valuable man and useful citizen.
He thinks very well indeed of the
work Booker Washington has done.

Yoa can see here now so much
of fresh and beautiful merchan-
disc that you would not think 1t
possible that SO many thousands
of dollars worth had gone out
from here into the homes of the
people during the last twenty
three days.
And this splendid completeness
after a holiday business that has
never been equaled in our nearly
twenty-five years in Washington.
And we have never done so
much business with 50 little troH-

have done their work faithfully
and we'll, and YOU, the public,
have shown US that this is the
store You wanted US TO make; and
that you want TO encourage us to
make it better and larger as fast
as We can.
We hope 10 be twice as large
next Nmas.
With some lew exceptions in
certain lines Of toys, the choosing
through the store is as good as it
was 4 week before Christmas.
Yet, with this vast collection of
merchandise. there is just now
much of q remnant character left

AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
The Advantages Derived From the
Supreme Court Decision.
MIR. Duvn1I Explains to the Commits
sioners the Result in the Street
Case-Privileges Mt the Wholesale
Market A New Pottcrs' Field.

Andrew B. Duvall, the Attorney for the
District. called on the Commissioners yes
terday and explained to them the import
OF the decision handed down by the Su-
preme Court of the United States in the
case of the District of Columbia against
Davidson The case in question was an
appeal from a decision of the Court of
Appeals of the District, which reversed
the decree Of the lower court. Besides,
the court in its opinion established a prin-
ciple which applies to all street improve
ment in the District of Columbia.
Mr. Duval explained to the Commits
sioners that the decision practically let
the District out in all the pending cases
of street improvement which have been
delayed by litigation for the last four
years. He stated that this decision puts
the District where it is right that 1t
should be, where it can control its own
street improvement. 1t will no longer be
possible for property holders or others
opposed to street paving to block such
improvement.
Mr. Duvau explained the opinion briefly
by saying that the court holds that it is
within the power of Congress to order the
opening, extension, or Improvement of
any street and to direct the Commission
ers to institute and complete the neces-
sary proceedings to acquire the land for
such purpose 1t is also affirmed in the
opinion that Congress can direct the Com
missioners to assess one-half of the
amount found due as damages against the
abutting property. This is the principle
which has been so vigorously assailed in
the courts by property holders, and which
has held up the improvement of S Street
for so long time.
The Attorney explained to the Commits
sioners that the work of his office in con-
nection with the extension and improve
ment of streets would now be much sim
plifed, and that it would be possible for
the Commissioners to execute the will of
Congress without unnecessary delay.
The decision may be said to have taken
load off the shoulders of the Commits
sioners and their Attorney, and it has left
the District with a free hand to carry
out its Improvements promptly after they
are authorized by Congress.
In speaking in a general way of street
improvement, Mr.. Duvall said yesterday
that ii has had a somewhat interesting
history. He said that it began with per-
NIT work on all improvements of less
than a specified amount. He stated that
the first paving of streets was done UNI
der the operations of that law. Later, he
said, there came into vogue what was inn
properly called compulsory permits.
where the District ordered the improve
ments and the cost was assessed against
the property. Finally came in the pres
ent law. which has now been affirmed by
the court of last resort. Mr. Duvall said
ington would not be the beautiful city
that it is. Under its operation he said the
streets have been paved along lines that
were serviceable and permanent.

A PLEA OF INSANITY ENTERED.
Evidence in the Case of j. W. Gaines

John w. Gaines, who claims to be men
tally deranged. was put on trial yester-
day in Criminal Court No. l. charged
with making an assault with intent to kill
upon Mrs. Eliza Welsh, on January -
last, at her home, 2514 NJ Street northwest
The Government concluded its side Of
the case early in the afternoon, and tes-
timony for the defence was offered. All
the evidence offered Ga behalf of Gaines
was for the purpose If proving that he
is suffering from nervous insanity, and
mitted. Testimony was introduced to
show that he was at one time committed

There was "A step leading from the dining
room down TO his room, and Mrs. Welsh
IL is said, sat on this step and discussed
the subject OF marriage with Gaines.
Something which Mrs. Gaines said it is
alleged so angered Gaines that he sprang
toward her and pushed her backward into
the dining room. 1t is claimed that
Gaines then picked up a carving knife and
assaulted Mrs. Welsh with II.
When first attacked Mrs. Welsh scream
ed for help. and her two daughters aged
fourteen and fifteen years, respectively
came to her assistance. They succeeded
in making Gaines release his hold upon
their mother, ana she. II IS said. ran out
Of the house and went TO the home of a
neighbor There II was discovered that
she was seriously injured, and she was re-
moved to the Emergency Hospital for
treatment
At the hospital it was discovered that
Mrs. Welsh had received a stab wound in
the left lung.
After Mrs. Welsh left her home. the po-
lice were notified of the assault. and went
in search of Gaines He was found in his
bed. He also had a stab wound in his
throat. similar to one which could be
made with a pentnife. II is said that the
wound IN Gaines throat was bandaged
with handkerchief. He. too, was sent
to the hospital for treatment II. Pres
