NEGROES AND THE IN. C.. A.
Work Dore to Advance the Race In
the United states.

Work Done to Advance the Race In
the United States.
George Foster Peabody has bought
and presented to the Brooklyn Colored
Young Mems Christian association a
fine old mansion costing about $4,000.
Evening educational classes for color
ed young men will be prominent in this
association, which now has 25O MEM
bers pledged. MI. Peabody has prom.
fsed liberal aid in erecting a building
for the colored association in his native
city, Columbus, Ga, when it shall have
developed to require it. For years
membership in many Of the city and
other ASSOCIATIONS has been open to ne
groes, but very few Of these young
men avail themselves Of the privilege.
The associations find that to help col
ored young men special organizations
are required, as for railroad men, SOL
diers, sailors, students and other
groups of young men. In New York
city, where almost no colored members
were enrolled, an association was or
gaDized last year with 225 members,
where the employment bureau, educa-
tional classes and dormitory are lead
ing features. The classes were immedi.
ately filed with negroes ambitious for
self improvement. The colored associa-
tions are growing, as the international
committee has two field secretaries SUI
pervising this movement. There are
now twenty-eight in the cities and six
ty-three in colleges.A with 6,O0O men,
bers, but without employed secretaries
Five such men were added last year,
mo- thy In northern cities. and three
men are in preparation at the training
school.
Indianapolis has $4,000 negro young
men, New York and Charleston 10000
each. Atlanta and Philadelphia 10000
each, Washington and New Orleans
$4,000 each and Baltimore $1,000.
Booker Washington says: 1--WE must
depend upon the Young Mems Chris
tian association not only to rescue but
to preserve the young manhood Of my
race. Every dollar put into this work
for my race becomes an interest bear
ing dollar. Money spent in this direc-
ton means a better voter and a better
citizen" 1t is likely that a large de-
velopment of the Young Mems Chris
tian association will take place among
the colored men of the cities.
For an endowment fund of $4,000
for the supervision of this colored
work $4,000 has been subscribed by
men familiar with the work, and spe-
cial effort is now being made by some
of the best and wisest friends of the
colored race to complete the amount.

STALL LEE HAVE A STATUE?

c.,e to Stand In Warrington.
Charles Francis Adams. of Boston de-
livered The grafton before the Phi Beta
Kappa society of the University of Chi
cago the other day. his subject being,
"Shall Robert E. Lee Have a Statue?
He said in part: l hold it to be GER
tain that the year 1865 will recognize
the somewhat essential fact. indubita-
bly, true, that all the honest conviction,
all the loyalty. all the patriotic devo-
ton and self sacrifice. were not. any
more than all the courage. on the VIC
tors side.
Lee represented, individualized, all
that was highest and best in the south
ern mind and the Confederate cause,
the loyalty to state, the keen sense Of
honor and personal obligation, the
slightly archaic. the almost patriarchal,
love Of dependent family and home.
I look forward with confidence to the
time when the bronze efigy Of Robert
q. Lee, mounted on his charger and
with the insignia of his Confederate
rank, will from its pedestal in the ma
tons capital look cross the Potomac
at his old home at Arlington.
When that time comes. Lees monu-
ment will typify the historical appreci-
alton Of all that goes to make up the
loftiest type Of character, military and
civic exempliied in an opponent once
dreaded but ever respected.
Above all, it will symbolic and COM
memorate that loyal acceptance of the
consequences of defeat and the patient
upbuilding of a people under new con-
ditions by constitutional means which
I hold to be the greatest educational
lesson America has. yet taught to a
once skeptical but now silenced world.

Novel Csc For Milking Stool.

In response to an appeal for various

STORY or DEAN HOFFMAN.
How Americas Richest Clergyman

How Ameri "a Richest Clergyman
. Sobducd u Furious Drunkard.
The late Very Rev. Eugene Augustus
Of the General Theological seminary,
was the richest as well as INT Of the
most distinguished of modern church,
men.
The fortune of the dean, even after
his numerous b%enefactions to the sem
mary and other establishments, is said
to amount to $3.50 200.
DR.. Hoffman's house to house vista
lions were such a noteworthy feature
of his work as long as he served the
churches hat his parishioners felt free
to call upon him in every sort of emer-
gency, says the Washington Star. Thus
at Elizabeth a little girl rushed into
his study n day crying:
Mother hopes you'll come to the
house right away, sir. Father says he's
going to kill her."
The doctor left the sermon he was
preparing and followed the child. At
the house he found the father crazy
drunk. AS the young clergyman en-
tered-this was all Of forty years ago
the fellow raised a chair high in air as
If to brain the intruder.
"I'm not afraid of you nor no other
man." yelled the drunken man. "and
you'd better clear QUIT"
II don't want you to be afraid Of
me-" replied the clergyman, "but there
Is n chap you'd better be afraid Of.
His name is James Anderson. He lives
here, and when drunk he's dangerous"
The chair dropped to the floor at this
unexpected speech, and James Ander-
son, already half sobered, begged par,
don for his brutality and promised to
keep the peace. Then the rector went
placidly back to his sermon writing.
Dean Hoffman's business ability was
considered Of a high order by New
York men of affairs, and his capacity
for doing things was recognized by his
associates in seminary management,
who sometimes made a play upon his
initials (E. Az and call him Executive
Ability Hoffman. He was popular
alike with students and faculty.

RunOrs Of a Tarsta Season

Across the sea, from Paris, come
remonitions of a taffeta season.
This does not mean that this pretty
nd serviceable fabric will be the ultra
tyle-but that the material will be inn
nensely popular.
The tip is originated on the Riviera,
here the season is at flush tide-and
whatever is worn there now, the cli-
nate being most balmy, is a precedent
or the approaching summer in other
Countries.
So. at this very moment, the Paris
nodistes are turning out elegant cos
umes in taffeta, street suits, evening
Onfections. and odd skirts and bodices.
