a NEW INDUSTRIAL. sen DOL

The colored people of Maryland
have taken a wise step in organizing
themselves into a body for the pur.
pose of establishing an industrial school
for the colored youths of that state
This school is TO be conducted on the
plan of the school at Tuskegee, Ala :,
At the head of the movement are some
of the leading colored men of the stateas
we'll as the country. DR.. Ernest Lyon,
who is the moving spirit has give n
the idea careful study. He has secure d
the endorsement of the leading white
and colored men of the state and al
ready a site comprising about eighty
FIVE acres of ground has been secured
and the movement Is on a fair way to
success. That the idea of industrial
education is growing goes without say
ing. Intelligent Afro Americans every.
where are learning that they must de-
pend upon themselves and that the
shortest way to ascend the heights is to
master the basic occupations, DR..
Lyons and his associates should have
the cooperation of the whole people q
Maryland. The movement is a good
one. 1t Il both practical and feasible
and is in the hands of men who are
not quitters but who will push matters
until their efforts are crowned with
success.

DEALT With.
Coronor's Verdict as to Burn
ing of Ice Russ.
"foully Dealt With by Party or Parties
Unknown" Say the Jury at The IN
quest. The Crime Still a Mystery.

The verdict of the coroner's jury in the
inquest over the body of Joe Russ, the
colored boy who was burned on the MID
way at the Fair grounds is as follows
THAT the deceased, Joe Russ, came to
his death on account of heat and suffoca-
ton after having been foully death
with by some party or parties unknown
to u.s..
The jury was composed of Messrs. X.
H. Bradley. w. w. Parish, d. |. Fort,
James Bullock, VIM. n. NOVEL;, all of
Raleigh, and Mr.. ]. B, Jordan, of Cary
The inquest, which was began Friday,
was resumed yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock and continued two hours with the
above result
The evidence that led to the verdict
arrived at by the coroner's jury was that
the door was found locked on the out
side, and that the negro was heard to
scream when the burning building was
reached by fremen.
A. Fl. Yearly testified that about an
hour before the fire he was at the grand
stand and heard suppressed scream.
He said at that distance he was unable
to locate the scream.
Henry Jones. colored, who managed the
stand stated that he left Russ in charge
of the stand for the night. He left in
company with the cook about $3.50. HE
stated further that the door could be
locked both on the inside and the outside.
The door was found locked on the outside.
The authorities are unable to trace the
crime.

The Atlanta Journal says of a recent
production of KNOBS O'Tennessee":
THE Columbia Theatre was packed
from pit to dome last night for the
opening performance of the Dixie Stock
Company, which began a weeks engage
ment there at popular prices.
standing room only was at a premium
long before the curtain went up on the
first act, and later many were turned
away. Knobs O'Tennessee' was the bill
and very enjoyable performance was
given. Hal Reid's sensational play is one
of the most interesting of the modern
dramas, taking for its theme the lives
and characters of the simple mountains
and the foothills of Tennessee. The char
acters are finely drawn and the plot Is
so well sustained as to keep the audience
in their seats till the fall of the curtaih,
on the last act of the play. The piece
was excellently staged andf tile
scenery was appropriate and elaborate!
AS regards the acting every part was in
capable hands and each role was intell-
gently presented. Frequent applause
showed plainly that those present en-
joyed themselves perfectly.
THE specialties were above the aver.
age, adding much to the success of the
entertainment. Lillian, Wach sang sew
cral illustrated. songs in decidedly
pleasing manner. The stereoptican views
accompanying the songs were among the
best ever seen here. Ed. Dupont intro
duced negro representations and received
| generous applause. The musical Macks
scored heavily, with very clever musi-
cal act ., e
KNOBS O. Tennessee is the bill for
Monday night. The prices are 10, 20 and
so cents. Seats now on sale.

such a success as he took mis- departure

Regulate It

The sharp criticism made by the News
and Observer of John Roblnson's circus
for charging fifty cents for reserved seats
saved the people of Eastern North Caro-
lima many dollars. The Wilson Times
tells how Wilson county managed it:
Our county commissioners acted wisely
in regulating the charges for reserved
seats and admission into Robinson's cir
Gus. 1t was the intention of the show
people to charge fifty cents for reserved
seats, the same price charged for admis-
sion. The commissioners notified them
and made them deposit sufficient funds as
a guarantee that the regular admission
would be fifty cents and the price for
reserved seats quarter of a dollar"
