 The visitors thronged the floral hall to see the literary work on exhibit. many thought that they saw vast improvement over the work of last year. There was lively and friendly contest among the teachers to see whose pupils could present the best work. As there were no special judges for this contest. each teacher went away feeling that his or her work was at least equal to the best. Too much praise cannot be given teachers, pupils and visitors for their efforts to assist each other in making the day an enjoyable one. The colored people of Pine Bluff appreciate the efforts that Superin- tendent Hinemon puts forth in behalf of the education of their childl en. The work which he is doing will be more lasting than granite, marble or stone. Editor Duke was on hand and ren- dered valuable services in the conduct of the games.

caribou in northern North America.
1t was found in the Kenai peninsula,
Alaska. The technical name of this
new specimen is Rengifer StOnei. In
fortunately the entire body of the
caribou could not be preserved. The
measurements of the animals in flesh
were as follows: Full length, seven
feet one inch; height to witheTs, tOur
feet four. The two distinctive
features which mark this new mem
ber of the caribou group are its col
orations and large and unusual form
of antlers. The color description is
as follows:
Front of nose to middle of nos
trils, chin and edges of lower lip
grayish or silvery white; top of the
nose, from the white muzzle back to
a point opposite the eyes, black,
passing into dark (blackish) brown
posteriorly and on the sides of the
head 10 below the eyes; cheeks and
throat still lighter brown; a narrow
space surrounding the eye and tear
duet grayish; top and sides of neck
dark grayish brown, becoming light
er and grayish at the base of the
neck, and then abruptly darker in
front of shoulders (skin of body not
preserved); front of neck white,
forming a longitudinal sharply de-
fined band four TO five inches wide,
of greatly heightened white hair, in
strong contrast with the sides of
the neck"
This heavy fringe of white hair on
the front of the neck with its strik-
ing contrast in color with the adiOin-
ing portions of the neck forms an
easily Distinguishing mark from all
other existing types. The antlers are
much heavier, with better developed
and more numerous tines than the
regular species, while a special point
of difference is found in the large
size and peculiar form of the front
branch of the antlers.

belle her petulant looks.
The solitary male passenger smiled
at joke that caught his eye at the
bottom of the newspaper age, and as
suredly did not see her.

pIe'ye had!" went on the sharp-fea-
tured woman, as if addressing ali

women in the car were snickering by

sharp-faced woman, as the car round

that they cant never take a hint, "
she continued, after a pause.
The man in black yawned cavern
ously, yet he didn't seem to be in
anywise aware of the contingency of
the petulant woman.
At length, as the car was passing

lous Indifference any longer. She
leaned over the man in black, and
as she did so he looked at her for
the first time with a SURPRISED ex-
preston.
Did you ever see a man give his
seat to lady where you came from,
wherever that is?" she asked the
sturdy-looking man in black.
The man Redeemed and rose from
his seat with great difficulty, sup
porting himself heavily on a cane.
'It was always my custom, madam.

until l met with an accident which
has rendered me permanently in
firm" he said, signaling to the con
ductor TO stop the car. The sharp
faced woman pumped herself into
his seat, and then the man in black
walked painfully TO the rear plat
form. One of his legs was of cork.
The other women, perceiving this,
looked symPathetically toward him
as he was helped off the car by the
conductor, and then scowled at the

She boarded an uptown Fourteenth

strangely enough, were actually

spreading out skirts and bundles so

TUsKEGEE INSTITUTION.
What Prof washinEtOs Says.

Perhaps the most important event
that has occurred during the year, is
q visit Of partv of sixty prominent
people interested in the education of
both races. This party, known as the
guests Of Mr.. Robert c. Ogden, one Of
our trustees, and feel sure that their
visit will result in much good 10 the
whole South.
The spirit OF industry is so strong y
lodged in the minds and hearts Of the
students, that every student upon our
rolls pursues some branch of industry,
in addition 10 other studies. Every
student who graduates, has received
such training in some branch Of in
dustry as will enable him to earn his
living.
In conclusion wish to add thought
which have tried to express before,
and that Is. more and more. each year

in a very large degree, the basis for
ability and Willingness to secure and

that everything possible should be done

Of our agricultural department. In
this connection, | am glad TO add that
arrangements have been made 10 re.
serve three acres Of land around the
new training school to be used in giving
agricultural training to the smalle
children, My feeling grows stronger
each year that perhaps IN the heat Ci
passion, growing out of racial and
sectional pTeJudlceS, we have not al-
ways given the Southern people due
credit for the immense amount of he o
rendered the Negro during the period
that he was a slave. The Negro as q
slave was started on the foundation Of
agriculture. mechanics and household
arts. While l would by no means
limit his Decentralization to these,
but would in all cases add academic
