INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
CLOSING ExERcIsEs or IFgTI- TUITION FOR NEGRO PUPILS.
Booker Washington Made Timely Ad- dress to Students Six of Whom Were Graduated by the School

Graduating exercises marking the close of the sixteenth year of the Montgomery Industrial School (coloredD occurred Fri- day night in the auditorium of the insti- tuition on Randolph Street. The hall was decorated in magnoiias and red--the class color--with one class motto Get the pat tern of your Ike from God" in illuminat- cd letters above the. rostrun1.
 On the platform with the graduating class were Miss Alice l.. White and Mss H. Margaret Beard. principals of the school, and Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee ,who was to deliver the certifi- cates.
 Washington made one of his character istic talks which em ohasized the practical good to his people which has become his life work. He said that he had watched fancy-had seen the difficplties through which it had passed, and Also the sue cess it had attained. What he especially desired to see, however. was help in many that 1t was a privilege their children were enjoying when they received education instead as was too frequently the case with the colored people. to seem to con fer favor by sending their children to be educated.
 He wanted also, he said, to see his peo- pie not only welcome the good work being done for them but wherever possible to pear tne1r snare or the seXpeIlSt ol CdAFs ing 1t on. Some of his people are now prosperous. he said. and It is their duty to give even as they have received. No people ever attain greatness who are ai- ways the recipients and never the givers. He represented an institution which rom time to time had beenenriched by munifir cent gifts from Northern and Southern friends. but the proudest moment or his life was when he received check Tor $l. 1000. not from white man from Bos- ton, but from black man who was born in slavery. !. In his words of advice to the class, Booker Washington begged that they
 Be always yourselves he said. Don t try to seem more than you are, but be more than you seem. Don't begin life grumbling. Do what comes to you well whether 1t be at the wash-tub or in the kitchen or some higher calling. Moreover, don't always dot merely your duty DO more than your duty. and if you go out to service, service will then seek you Above all, try to repay your parents who perhaps have received no education, and have made sacrifices by toll ana sweat to give these advantages to you.
 Another thing-be content With your station. l have contempt for many men I such supreme contempt as the person who Is ashamed of his race.
 Professor Washington talked for hall an hour and made other forceful sug- gestions which were frequently applaud ed.
 The program consisted of vocal and in strumental music by members Of the classes of 1902 and 1903, and original es- says by the graduates who were: Queen Victoria Lee. Mary Alice Hinson, Cora Relic Walker, Eveiina Julia Day, Hattie May Steele, Belle Mcdonald Morse.

 Chrysanthemum Suggestions.
 Mrs. o. A. Clapp contributes the fol lowing suggestions as to growing chrysan- themums: .,s, d..
 "Chrysanthemums are about the easiest plant for an amatuer to grow success
  them out in good. rich soil not too rich or your wood will be soft and pithy and In your cultivatiag them they are easily broken.
 As the plant grows keep the soil well stirred and well watered. They must not wilt nor suffer for water. and they are not hurt at all by freely watering in the mid day sun, now for feeding them, have a barrel placed on a stand or box with 8 hole bored in the side close down to tht last hoop. i'll barrel two-thirds full oi COW manure and pour in water. Thi: will drip in bucket or basin placed under heath stand. Of course the stand mus be tilted so the water will run down Water your plants with this two or three times a week until buds begin to show color then withhold this liquid and watel with pure water and plenty of it.
 If you want bushy nuns. pinch thu tops. when about eight or twelve inches high. If you want one bloom on plan train to one stalk. pinch all side branches stake plant and tie securely.
 Now for taking the bud. of course some varieties bloom later than other: and must not he budded as early. T' take a bed means leaving the central but and removing all buds that appear around this bud. Do not be in a hurry to remove buds or you may injure youl central bud.
 "The crown bud is bud surrounded | by shoots. These shoots will grow con- siderably before the bud appears.
 "A terminal bud is a bud surrounded | by buds and end the growth of the plant | for season. By keeping close watch of your plants | you will be able to deetrmne which bud to select and with q little care and at | tention you will have very fine flowers "

Until He Found the Right Food.

What a hades some people go through because their food does not supply the right kind of nouTlshment to, the. body. Take the following for. exqmrle:
 A gentleman in Baltimore says: About two years ago began to experience pe- culiar depression occasionally with pains in the back part of my head and down along the spine. Gradually my eyesight began to fail and my memory grew poor. A general nervousness set in. l used all the will power l could command to help myself, but was forced to give up good position and seek the advice of the fam ilv doctor. He said neurasthenia and sent me to a great nerve specialist. So Tor four months 1 was massaged and dosed with medicine. but all to no benefit; then | went to New York and consulted pr.
 -. He sent me to another great spe- cialist, and he in turn sent me to - Sanitarium, where I stayed for long time.
 1t was the same old story. was dosed with medicine and massaged and bathed. Finally I left there and went to another specialist who told me l would only hVe a few months. This rather frightened me and 1 placed myself under Dr. -. He said the stomach was. at fault and prob ably l had not been given the right Kind of food
 He put me on d certaih iiiie Nh ment and insisted that l use three or four teaspoonfulss of, Grape-Nuts each meal I was under his care for several months. I steadily improved until now am fully restored to both mental and bodily vigor.
 He explained to me that Grape-Nuts contains a goodly portion of phosphate of potash. a nerve and brain food. and that the food being partially digested. the sys- tenn could make use of it easily. At any rate. I got we'll and both the doctor and myself know that Grape-Nuts made it possible.
 I sincerely believe that practically all of our nervous troubles are ca sed by imperfect nourishment. It. was fortunate for me that I could get such a food as Ora pe- Nuts. Yisii can lise this letter but don't publish my name please" Name given by Postum O., Battle Creek Mich,

ness to the individual or company i~nstigat-
ing the proceedings.
Action Delayed
Every secretary of the interior for twenty
five years past has urged the repeal Of all
land laws, except one, by which a man can
secure title to land by five years residence
upon It. In 1883 Secretary Teller said:
mot another acre should be sold for cash
or scrip" The schemes proposed by which
the public domain is to be coded to the
various states are simply the plans of the
land grabbers to secure what is left of the
vacant land by one grand coup, instead of
pieccmeal, as it is now done. The purpose
and intention of the government from its
foundation have been to retain control of
its own estate, regardless of state lines.
The supreme court, recognizing this pur-
pose, has held that mo state formed out
of the territory of the United States has a
right to the public lands within it's limits
or can exercise any power whatsoever over
them" Fortunately congress, within the
past two years, has adopted this view with
considerable emphasis and the energies Of
those who desire to secure the public land
for purposes other than home-making have
been transferred to the effort to prevent
such legislation as would check their opera
ton.
II needs but a most casual Investigation
Of the operation Of the present system Of
laws governing the disposal of the public
domain to bring conviction that a clean
sweep and a new start are absolutely neces-
sary to meet peculiar conditions brought
about by rapid settlement. There is not
a land law in effect which applies intelli-
gently to the public agricultural domain as
1t is now to be found and each and every
law which is in force is used daily as a
means for the fraudulent segregation of
land from the public domain by those whom
the law did not contemplate as possible
beneiciaries.

THE HIBBARD-RoDMAN-ELY SAFE

is a new design and make. 1t consists Of
a solid piece of round cornered manganese
steel, mounted on a carriage. 1t is an
absolutely burglar proof safe. The storage
space is a cavity in the center of a steel
block. The door and its locking mechan-
ism is an important feature. The door
fits in, the fitting being so close that the
joining is barely visible, 1t being ground
down so finely. There is no possibility OF
air or liquid being forced into any cracks,
for there are none. The combinations slip
of and leave only a surface as tightly fit
ting as the door itself. These safes are
manufactured by the Hibbard -Rodman Ely
Safe company OF New York, for which ]. j.
DeTlght q Co., 1119 Farnam street, are the
agents. The manufacturer claim that nitro
glycerine by the quart can be employed
against them and no material damage done.
Numerous tests have been made by in
credulous purchasers and never has the
safe been opened by the explosion process.
Prominent banks in Chicago. New York,
Pittsburg, Albany, Cleveland, Toledo, Phila-
delphia, Seattle. Los Angeles. in fact nearly
all the leading banks in the United States
are now using these safes. Mr.. Deright
secured the agency for these wonderful
burglar-proof safes last August and since
then has sold over fifty to bankers in this
territory.
