BOOKER WASHINGTON THE VICTIM
OF MISCHIEVOUS FOLLY.

OF MlSCHIEVOUS FULLY.
Washington Post.
OF what benefit to Booker Washington
and his work is this empty and arduous
round of banquets and parlor functions
Wherein does it profit him or the cause
he has at heart that he figures in hart
ford or Boston drawing rooms, sits at
luxurious tables-even that OF the Fresi-
dent hinself-and gives his time 10 what
we call society" These people really
see in him nothing more than caprice.
He has become a fashion, fad, With
men who have no more comprehension OF
his real value to the country than they
have of the political conditions in Saturn.
They are merely putting him on exhibit
tion, glorifying themselves by patronage
of one who is worth more TO humanity
and civilization than any dozen or them.
He and his race will be the victims m
this stupid and mischievous folly He
will be shorn of his usefulness and iniiu-
ence. He will strut his little hour OH the
tinsel stage and be cast away when the
idle fancy shall have run its course

THE GREAT GOOD ROADS CON-
VENTION.

Perhaps the most important question
before our people today is that OF good
country roads. Il the present condi-
tion of our country roads it is needless
to say anything in support of this asser-
ton. In this connection we desire to
call the attention of our read
ers TO the Good Roads Convention that
is to be held at Winston Salem, Novem-
Der 1st and End. Mr.. w. II. Moore,
President Of the Good Roads Association
Of the United States, together with
number of read experts and engineers
reached Winston Salem yesterday with
a Good Roads train of twelve cars load
ed With up-to-date road machinery, and
will proceed to build section of road,
thereby giving an object lesson to those
who are Interested, and we presume
there are but few who are not. On Fri
day end Saturday following this practi-
cal work the convention will take place
President Moore is anxious that there
should be :. large attendance. This is
splendid opportunity and we suggest
that all who can DO so go to Winston on
this interesting and very important oc-
casion. The Governor Of the State, Sem
ators and Congressman, many clergymen
and ladies' are invited. This is a very
important question to the entire State.

Winston, Journal.
Isn't it safe to follow the guidance OF
Governor Aycock? What can Pritchafd
offer, beyond a few paltry Federal ap-
pointments, that should induce any North
Carolinian to desert the teachings OF
his fathers and go off after strange gods
Pritchard talks about a respectable
Republican party, and holds out share
of Federal patronage like the thirty

SHOWING MEN UP.

II. c. c. Astwood, colored, the editor
of the New York Defender, once repre-
sented this country as minister to Libe-
ria, and is one Of the ablest negroes in
America. He has written an article in
which he exposes the hypocrisy of those
Northern papers who are now so shocked
because there is criticism Of the social
equality practiced at the White House.
He asserts that the Methodist preacher
who introduced the resolution CONNIE nding
the President for inviting Booker T.
Washington to dinner sis the same
preacher who drove an educated negro
out of one of his houses at Bryn Mawr,"
AS to Bishop Potters approval. Rev.
Astwood says:
Bishop Potter, our good and worthy
prelate, has many colored priests of his
denomination here in the North and yet
he does not set the example by having
them to celebrate at Holy Trinity and
other Episcopal temples here in the
North or invite them to sit at the Lords
table to teach the South the fatherhocd
of God and the brotherhood of man.
Bishop Holly, of Hayti, one of the most
learned and scholarly negroes in the
world, who comes here periodically, is
ignored and allowed to board in colored
boarding house in Brooklyn. instead of be-
ing the guest during his stay at some of
the white parishes
This prominent Methodist and Episco-
pal divine probably feels as Vance said
to DR.. Abernethy: My heart is with
you but my stomach is against you The
test of their fruits is their practice, not
whether they eat with Booker Washing
ton, who has come to be a fashionable
fad but whether they invite other negroes
who are preaching and teaching without
having obtained notoriety.

The conviction of Powers shows why the
Governor Of Indiana, will not extradite
Taylor. He is afraid Taylor will get JUS
tice and be hung. If Democratic Gov
ernor practiced such anarchy, Roosevelt
and Hanna would be horrified, and yet a
Republican Governor nullifies the laws
to protect an assassin, and when Roose-
welt was Governor of New York he vir-
tUally said he would do the same thing.

Interesting Theatrical Experience.
Previous to entering the government ser
vice in the National Museum, which was
about twenty years ago, Mr.. Sessford was
prominently identified with several of the
local theaters in responsible positions. He
was the assistant treasurer of the old
Washington Theater, then a leading play
house, that was formerly Carusrs saloon
and is now the Lyceum Theater and dur
Ing the war took the same position with
Ford's Theater on 10th street and was in
the box office the night that John Wilkes
Booth shot President Lincoln. His last
theatrical connection was with the Ma
uonal, from which he retired to take the
place he held at the time of his death.
Wide Acquaintance With Actors.
Few men had wider acquaintance with
the leading actors of the last and previous
generations than Mr.. Sessford, and his
memory was replete with stories and anec-
dotes about all Of them, from the elder
Booth and Forrest down to John T. Ray
mond and the later corners. The news OF
his death caused general expression of sor-
row throughout the city when it became
known.
Mr.. Sessford is survived by a widow,
Mrs. Sarah Weldon Sessford, who was the
daughter of H. Alexander Weldon, who
ran the line Of stage coaches from the
navy yard to Georgetown before street cars
were established in Washington, and by
three sons, DR.. Joseph s. F. Sessford H.

japanese Textiles.

Not only magnificent, but really astound.
Ing IN Its grandeur" was the opinion ex-
pressed by a competent critic who visited
the art rooms of Marcus Notes, 121S-122O F.
street. and viewed a collection of Japanese
embroideries, silks and textiles there dis
played The assertion that certain of the
fabrics OF the collection are priceless, their
real value not being known, conveys some
sort Of an idea Of the nature of the exhibit.
A number Of the specimens shown were
completed several centuries ago, having
been brought, 1T Is said, from Japanese mu-
seums, the palace of the Mikado, Buddhist
temples and the store chests Of the nobility
According to Mr.. Nomura. who imported
them, certain Of the specimens of needle
work he has brought from the land of the
chrysanthemum required the constant SER
vices of dozen or more experts for ten
years to complete.
In striking contrast to this superb needle
work Of ancient times are samples of the
modern art of Japan, designated the cut
velvet art, SO woven and cut as to repre-
sent paintings. The effect is wonderful
The walls are covered with palace and tenn
pie hangings, the wealth of one of which 1t
Is difficult to express. 1t was hung 1t Is
said, on the wall Of the Milo Palace Of
kfoto prior to the imperial restoration
Sacred dragons worked in subdued colors
constitute the pattern. 1t has an elaborate
chrysanthemum border, and is framed with
costly Yezo Nishik brocade, date about
1I6O. The way the threads are handled in
the work on this embroidery is said to be
lost art to the japanese weavers; kimonos
OF delicate hue and wonderful design are
suitably shown. A partial list of the ex-
hibit includes many samples of cut velvet
work, old brocade palace hangings, ancient
blue brocade, ancient green Kaorori bro
cade, ancient blue Nishiki brocade. silk
crepe, embroidered silk, old gold brocade,
old Dinsu brocade, Daimyo and other
kimonos, SILK tapestry and the like.
