Industrial School for Negroes.

New Jersey is going to make an expert
met of Booker T. Washington's method for
the technical education of the colored
youth of this State. The last session of
the Legislature appropriated $50, 900 for
the erection of suitable buildings 1t will
be the first experiment of the kind in the
North.
The method of negro technical education
as prepared by Mr.. Washington is to be
followed At the present time New Jersey
is maintaining small negro industrial
school on the old Ironside property, near
Bordentown. The negro population Of the
State amounts to about sixty-nine Thousand,
and those interested want old Ironside pur-
chased for the new institution.
Members of the State Board of Educa-
ton think that it is not adapted for the
work and are considering proposition to
acquire one of the several large farms now
owned by the State. The representation
to the proposed school will be one male and
one female pupil from each Assembly dis
trict, and the course will be a common
school education, with farming and trades
for the men, and cooking, sewing, art and
music for the women. The expense will
not be more than dollar week for board,
as the students will do all the work.

The United States postoffice depart ment has a violent prejudice against double jointed names for towns. This prejudice has worked harm to a de- serving little town in California which had Spanish name for nearly cen- tury. This is Corte Madeira. in Marin county. The Corte Maderans, having no postoffice, had to go several miles to get their mail. They put the requi- site machinery at work to have the place declared postoffice but the most enterprising man in the town was one Jerry Adams, the keeper of the cross- roads saloon. To the Washington au- thorities he represented that Corte Ma dera was too long name. To this the postoffice authorities lent a willing ear, and the subtle Jerry suggested to them that a more euphonious and con- venient name was Adams. They at once agreed. Now, the Corte Nader ans have their postoffice, but they have lost their beautiful Spanish name, and their town is named after the keeper of the local saloon.

strumentality of the Russo Chinese bank. NJ. Lessar, however, made the mistake of employing words of exclu- sion in the proposed agreement in favor of the bank. and these words gave the representative Of Great Britain his op- portunity to appeal to the most fa- vored nations" clause. No grant can be made to Russians to the exclusion of Britons, he said. The Shansi and Shensi mine concessions are not exclu- sive in terms; they are practically so, however. because the British were careful to include therein everything ir sight. Nobody is precluded thereby from securing mining privileges in tho provinces named, but the Pekin Syndi- cate holds title to every promising seam of coal or deposit of iron in that region. In the art of securing exclu- sive commercial rights that are incon. testable in international law the Rus sians are the merest duffers by com. parison with the British.

Some practical joker has started q story that Hon. Robert F. Roosevelt, the veteran sportsman and gourmet, has to live nowadays on crackers and milk exclusively. It isn't so. and the presidents democratic uncle has writ ten a note to the New York Times to say so. He doesn't want his hospitable friends Inisled in that way. Let them try me-" he writes, "on a bottle of champagne and a canvasback duck in- stead. I am exceedingly abstemious, it is true. and never drink wine or whiskey alone, so my friend will want to prepare two bottles and two ducks. CT, as the season is net best for ducks just now, he might substitute capons, CT possibly terrapin, although it would be better to combine them. A judicious diner should hardly make an entire dinner off terrapin, although no une could say that it might not be done: but as for milk and crackers, I should as willingly have chips, and then far prefer. instead of dining on them, to hand them in.''
