season. Sentiment is divided over the
desirability of having him as a neigh.
Dor. Many citizens do not seem 10

the belief that the town should feel
honored by Mr.. Washington's pres.

IL has just developed, moreover. that
the estate was not purchased by Mr.
Washington, but for him by w. H.
Baldwin. Jr., of New York. who is
president of the Long Island railroad
and deeply interested in Southern edu
cational work. A local real estate
agent was asked to conduct the nego
tiations shortly after Mr.. Washington
had been here and inspected the prop
erty, and the papers, which were
passed March 20, we're made out in
Mr.. Baldwin's name.
The c. Oliver Loud estate, the prop
erty in question, is one of the most
desirable in the town. 1t is located or

exclusive section. Connected with il

When asked concerning the prop

had purchased it. He said:
Il have purchased no house of any
character whatever in Massachusetts,
am not intending to do so and am not
able to buy one. For several years
have rented small cottage in Massa

could be near the work which | usu

the statement"
friend of the educator explained
that Mr.. Washington devotes nearly
all the summer to work in the North
where two of his children are being
educated, and that he desires a quiet
spot at which to rest and where he
might be free from newspapers. tele

please tell me the truth and the
whole of it, for we are anxious to
know just what our status would be.
We are sending our children to Europe
to be educated, where they are re.
ceived and treated with the respect
due them. Though we are negroes.
we have the refinement and education.
Just the same as a white man, and we
feel to be his equal. We can go TO

Now, could We go to the United States

they are determined to know. and that
at once, the outcome of the negotia-

nearly three years. II is generally
believed that. should the United States
acquire st. Thomas and the two other
islands, the governor of Porto Rico
will be placed in charge with power to
appoint subordinates. The officers OF
the government are usually Danish
subjects irrespective of race or color.
On this account they do not expect to
