AT McDoNALD's THEATRE.
Disorderly Crowd Witnessed Poor Entertainment

A remarkable scene, a scene which has been happily infrequent in Montgomery, was witnessed at McDonalds Theatre last night at the performance of the so-called Duncan Clark's Lady Mlnstrels," when an audience of 200 men whistled, stamped, halloed, cat-called and missed for nearly two hours.
 The disorderly gathering was more like an assemblage at a prize ring than an au- dience at a city theatre.
 The turmoil and uproar began shortly after the curtain went up and the holders of $1 and of 50 cent seats suddenly real ized that they had invested in a theatrical gold brick The audience was there to en- joy itself. and If the performers could not give 1t entertainment it would find its own means of passing away the time. Noise of all kinds, pandemonium, was re- sorted to by the audience of "men only It mattered not whether the curtain was up or down, whether the stage was occu- pied or unoccupied, the storm of stamp ing, whistling and yelling went on. It lulled only now and then when a part of the audience, evidently feeling sorry for the feeble efforts of some of the singers joined In the chorus of a popular song.
 A diversion was created when two po- licemen led two young men to the door. A doorknob had been pitched upon the stage and the responsibility lay between the two prisoners.
 The performance, If the term may be used, was as unlike a minstrel perform ance as it was unlike any other perform ance, ever seen in Montgomery.
 It may be written that nothing unseem- ly was said or done. This may or may not have been due to the fact that Police Captain W. H. Taylor served notice on the management that nothing disreput- able would be tolerated in Montgomery.
 There was nothing to the performance, no dancing. no jokes. no singing worthy of mention and no entertainmet There were seven of the Lady Minstrels,' who with the masculine assistants, made up the company
 From the first to the last curtain there was not an act worthy of the name, not an act that would chain the interest of the audience for a fleeting moment
 Some enthusiasm was aroused by four round boxing contest in which a sturdy young fellow introduced as Dan Barry battered two other youngsters called Young Carter and Young Sharkey.

ucation among the masses.
 Sixth-We regard with keen interest the proposed charge in the policy for the fur ther distribution of the Peabody fund, looking toward the concentration of the same upon a normal college for the train- Ing of teachers for the Southern schools. In view of the South's dual system of schools this policy wisely and necessarily means the establishment of such a school for the teachers of both sections of the system, since the entire system should continue to be a beneficiary of this fund.
 The morning session today was sent ink the discussion of the varied problems confronting the negroes of the South and the importance of practical education was emphasized in speeches by Presi- dent Wright of the Georgia State College.

NEGRO EDUCATORS ADJOURN.
Will Ask Their Race to Remain in
 Rura1 Districts

Chattanooga. Tenn. March 6.-The first annual conference of the negro Presi- dents of the Colored and Mechanical Col leges of the Southern States was con- cluded today.
 The results of this conference are epi- tomized in the declaration of principles adopted by the conference which the colleges will live up to themselves and urge upon the colored race.
 The conference attached considerable importance to the movement to establish a central normal school under the aus pices of the Peabody Educational Fund. It was the opinion of the educators that the establishment of such a school for colored teachers. as is contemplated by the trustees of the fund, would be a great impetus to the cause of negro edu- cation.
 It was agreed that the industrial schools should try to impress upon the colored people that 1t is best for them to turn to agricultural pursuits to better their condition and to shun the cities and towns.
 The Convention of Negro Presidents of the Agricultural College adopted the fol- lowing declaration of principles:
 First-We heartily approve the efforts put forward for this meeting, to the end that we might confer as to matters IOuCnlnR that or interests pe- culiar to our work and our people. We pronounce the meeting. with its reports from the various fields, it's exchange of views, its discussion as to future policies, as interesting, helpful and inspiring.
 Second-We wish to emphasize the i'm portance of that peculiar line of work to which our schools are committed. We regard the development and improvement of the negro along agricultural. mechan- ical and domestic lines as of primary irc portance, as 1t conduces to useful and productive citizenship.
 Third-We address ourselves to the members of our race. most earnestly call ing attention to the opportunity offered by noble farm life for the avoidance of the likeness, poverty and squalor so of- ten incident to city and town life.
 Fourth-We are mindful of the wisdom of the Federal government in providing for the endowment of A and "M." col seges throughout the various States: also we acknowledge the supplementary aid extended to our people both by the South ern States and philanthropists and organ lzations.
 FIfth-we regard with high favor the movement now being inaugurated by the general educational board toward the bet terment of the rural schools of the South and consider 1t the mont powerful influ- ence of the century for the spread of ed
