For almost six hours the conference
gave itself to discussion of the
questions touching the general condi-
ton of agricultural and mechanical
education among the Negroes in the
various states represented. Reports
ere then heard froc the several col
legs, and it was felt that in the main,
the Negroes are surely, though slow
ly. making substantial advancement.
One important fact brought in the
discussion was that it is extremely
difficult to secure competent instruc-
tors for these schools. There is no
dearth of persons who claim to be ex-
certs in particular lines OF instruc-
ton. but good, conscientious instruc-
tors. combining at once ability, char
acter, and honesty OF purpose, are not
easily obtained.

never more than three colOred men

the time suddenly jumped to forty-six

When your letters comes depends upon
when the mail arrives. and may be any
time of the day. Perhaps one of the
most con1ical parts of the service 10 the
fact that the carrier cannot read. At
the office he is told what houses are to
have letters. Then he sings his bag over
his shoulder and trots off. hopping from
one side fthe conclavity that Is gutter
and street, and thus wends his tortuous
way through the city till he arrives at
house for which he has mail. Upon
entering he musings his bag. opens it
and pours the contents on the floor, at
the same time telling you to pick out such
letters as beyong to you! There Is a
charming naivete and righteousness
about the whole proceeding which strikes
the Westerner as irresistfbly comic.

remainder Is bundled back, and of he

She Had Locked Up.
baltimore, (Md.) Special.
The office of Attorney Harry b. Wolf
was the scene yesterday of wedding in
which the man obtained his freedom from
the city Jail and the bride got a husband
and several pieces of jewelry. The bride
was Miss Emily Ehrman, and the groom
S. Edward Lyeth. The nuptial knot was
tied by Rev. Stoudemire, spiritual ad-
wiser at the Jail. t
AS stated the brides gift to the groom
was his liberty from the Jail, and the
groom's gift to the bride was her lew
els, which he was charged with obtain
ing under false pretenses. The grand
jury's gift was dismissal of the charge.
The couple arrived here some time ago
and stopped at a leading hotel until their
funds grew short and then they moved to
more unpretentious quarters. Miss Ehr-
man, who is decidedly attractive Young
woman, came from Birmingham, Ala She
is well educated, and well connected In
the South. She became infatuated with
Lyeth, and went with him from place
to place on the promise that he would
make her his wife. At different times he
obtained jewelry from her. consisting of
diamonds and pearls valued altogether at
s645. Finally he asked for the wedding
ring which she had purchased in order
that he might have 1t suitably engraved.
This was the last she saw of her fian3ee
until she faced him in the station house.
She preferred charges against him and
he was sent to jail, Her love, however,
overcame her desire to prosecute.
