the First Big Exhibit Building
of the Worlds Fair Begun.

st. Louis, April 2.-The laying Of
the foundation of the first big ex-
hibit building Of the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition was begun Tuesday.
without ceremony, by the Rountree
Construction Co., contractors for the
Varied Industries building. The
Rountree Construction Co. has had n
big 3o-inch circular saw cutting foot
ing timbers for the Varied Industries
building since last Thursday. The
laying of these timbers was begun
Tuesday.
The foundations of the big exhibit
buildings consist of what is techni-
cally called 'cribbing:" that is. big
timbers laid crisscf6ss at right angles
in horizontal tiers. Each tier is drift
bolted to the tier below; that is, a
rod of wrought iron is inserted in Il
hole bored into the timber and then
driven with sledges deep into the
timber below. This makes a solid i'm
movable foundation.
The specifications require that the
bottom tier of the foundation crib
bing shall be built at least a foot in
the natural earth. Where the nat
ural grade is very much lower than
the final grade, pile are used in place
Of the %cribbing.
The Rountree Construction Co. in
grading for it's building left open the
places where these spread footings
are now being built.Th intention of
the contractor is to fill around them
after they are in place. Some thirty
of the footings were placed the first
daV.

RESPONDS TO TRAINING.

Professor Warrington cited sever.
al instances to illustrate the degree
in which the Neg responds to out.
side influences, Yelling of two Negro
townships in Alabama, one of which
had not been helped or reached by
outside influences and the other
which had been given the advantages
of education and proper training.
In the FIRST townShip the masses Of
the people were without land, living
in one-room cabins with their crops
mor,gaged and deeply in debt, while
poor school and ignorance and
immortality were in evidence. In
the second town ship were 12S Neg
70 homes and the Negroes are pay
ing taxes on s44, 900 worth of prop
erty. Continuing he said:
~ sometimes fear that we are in
danger of producing too many lead
ers. We are not so much in need
of leaders as workers. Before we
spend any considerable part of our
time giving advice to others, let us
remember that it is our duty to our
families, our race and ourselves to
secure and pay for comfortable
home or farm or to start a business
and secure bank account. Talk
after work is valuable; talk without
work is valueless. f l cannot have
much faith in the morality or christ
ianity of man whose note for $40
is not good at his home bank. The
highest moral and religious progress
does not 60 hand in hand with idle
ness, shiftlessness and poverty.
RELATION WITH WHITES.
The speaker then referred to the
relations between the white and black
races, saying:
"No race ca4 hate another with
out that race bling weakened, mar
rowed and degraded. Let US cult
vase friendship and love for all races
and individuals, and harbor hatred
for none. If Others would be little,
let us try to be great; if others would
hate US, let US try to love them;. if
others would BE- cruel to us, let Is
be merciful; is others would break
the law, let us respect it; if others
weuld seek to push us down, let us
seek to raise them. In the long run
it is the race that helps to push up
that succeeds"

SHOULD WE RESEWT IT?

"Bucks and wenches' is the
way the chief of police puts it
when speaking of members of the
Negro race in an interview, which
he had with a Capital reporter
Tuesday the 5th inst. In talking
about some colored men and wo-
men he called them "bucks and
wenches." This is supposed to
be a republican administration,
and in his canvass for votes last
spring the Mayor pledged, that
if elected he would see that the
colored people had fair treatment
as we'll as good representation
in all departments of the city
government. Such insulting re-
marks coming from his chief Off
Ger should be resented by every
colored person; never before IN
the history of this city have the
paople of our race been so insult
ed, as they have by the present
chief of police and the Daily
Capital. They would have the
people believe that all the crimes
that are committed have been
done by colored people. There is
scarcely an issue of this paper
where it does not slur the race.
And we would say to those who
have anything against the race
or desire to see them lowered at
every opportunity, they should
support the present administra-
ton and subscribe for the Daily
Capital. Is there a loyal race
loving person who will support
either? .
