The address delivered at the union
meeting at the Congregational church
last Sunday by Mrs. Amelia S Quin-
ton, who came here under the auspices
of our Brattleboro Woman's Indian
association, was very noticeable and
interesting. Mrs. Quinton is president
of the National Indian association. and
her labors for the past 25 years have
carried her into every state and terri
tory but one in the Union. In a clear
and simple style she gave an account
of the methods of the association and
the results accomplished They take
under their care tribes who have no
one else to care for them, sending them
missionaries and field matrons to in
struct them, not only in the gospel,
but in the simple arts and industries
of life, and in the making of civilized
| homes. When the mission is firmly
established they give it over to the
care of whatever church is willing to
assume the responsibility, and go on
to fresh fields. Their means being
| limited, they can support but two or
three missions at one time. Mrs.
Quinton told one touching little story
of a Moqui woman who for five years
has prayed to the Great Spirit to send
a missionary to her little tribe, and
though her prayeT has not yet been
answered continues firm in the faith
that some day it will be granted, At
Mr.. Miles,s suggestion an impromptu
COLLECTION, amounting to $14 was taken
up for this woman. Mrs. Quinton
closed her address by an eloquent ap-
peal for help for these, heather, our
own people, who are so willing to lead
higher lives if the way is shown them.
Mrs. A. c. Davenport is president of
the local association, and Mrs. ]. NJ
Tyler is secretary and treasurer All

Pension Commissioner Ware be-
lieves that the high tide of pension
payments was reached July 81 of last
year. when with l.O0l.197 names on
the roll total of about $4,000. 900
was disbursed. Now there are 996. .545
pensioners. of whom 1886 are old
soldiers and 267.1S9 are widows and
dependents. and the whole number re
ceive approximately $137000,O0O. Five
pensioners are on the roll on account
Of the War of the Revolution. illG on
account of the war of 1912, 473i on ac-
count Of the Indian wars and 1854 on
account Of the Mexican war. The an
nual amount of the Spanish war pen
sion roll has reached sL765.31O. Com
mis- ,ioner Ware makes the following
recommendations Laws forfeiting
the pension or right to pension of any
man convicted in court of an infamous
crime; prohibiting the giving of pen
sions To those women who marry sol
die,s after the soldiers become old
pensioners. and a different method of
examining applicants for pension,
stamping the present system as un-
certain. expensive, unsatisfactory and
generative of an enormous amount Of
political friction.

The Charleston, w. Va, Advocate
pays a very fiattering tribute to the
work and worth of our popular fellow
townsman, Mr.. J. A. Langford, the ar
chitect and electrical engineer. Mr..
Langford, though still a young man,
has won a place for himself in the
front rank in his profession, by his
tact, equipment and industry. He is
doing magnificent work for the True
Reformers and is kept busy. The Ad-
vocate very pertinently remarks:
Attention cannot be too frequently
called to the excellent work in the ar
chitectural line that is being done by
Mr. John Anderson LangfOrd, who
holds at this time the position of Mas
ter Mechanics of the True Reformers.
He is a graduate of TuSkegee and has
taken advanced courses in other
schools, and has had much experience
in designing, electrical work and in
steam-fitting, having planned some of
the largest and best buildings in the
South, and set up steam and electrical
The colored American., 1903-05-02

plants to the satisfaction of those who
contracted with him. For some years
he was superintendent of industries at
Shaw University, and while there revo-
lutiOniZed the whole system of inStruc-
tiOn, placing every branch on bust
ness basis. He resigned to take charge
of the building enterprises of the True
Reformers, and the Owering $4,000
structure at 18th and u streets, Wash
fngton, d. c., is the creation of his
massive intellect and mechanical ge-
MUS. 1t is now at the fifth and final
story, and is planned according to the
latest and most approved ideas in con-
StructiOn. The material is an attrac-
i've buff brick, with stone trimmings.
The assembly hall will be a fine af
fair, and will accommodate $500 peO-
pie, with a. well-apOinted stage hold
ing 200 more. The basement has been
leas ed by the District National Guard
to be used as an armory, and two store
rooms will be given over to business
one of which will be occupied by the
True Reformers' provision store. The
the lodge rooms in the fourth and fifth
stories will be arranged with an eye
to the needs of the members. Another
triumph of Mr.. Landlords is the John
Wesley A. NJ. e. Zion Church on 18th
street. 1t is the prettieSt church edi-
fee by all odds, in Washington, and
DR.. BOlding and his congregation are
carried away with it. Mr.. Lankford
is modest, and dOSen't like to talk
about himself. He allows his work to
talk for him and it does the service
most elOquently. Besides the True Re
formers designing and budding, he
does a great deal of outside work for
private parties. and it can well be i'm
agined that he is kept pretty busy. Dr.
w. L. Taylor predicts a brilliant fu-
ture for his protege.

EXERCISES AT

NURSES.

On Monday evening. May 4th, at 8
O'Clock. the Annual Graduating Exer-
cises of the Freedmen's HOspitaI Train
inc school for nurses, will be held in
the Andrew Ranken Memorial Chapel,
on the Howard University grounds
Especial interest attaches to these
exercises from the fact that it IS the
first class in the history of the hos
pital that graduates from under the
sole care and direction of a colored
superintendent, Mrs. Sara FLEETWOOD.
While this is the third class gradua-
ting since Mrs. Fleetwood was placed
in charge of the school, it is the hrst
one in which all of the graduates began
and ended their studies under her ad-
miniStratiOn.
Another interesting incident IS the
fact that when Mrs. Fleetwood herself
was graduated with the first class IN

ceivad her diploma from the hands of

Good Sense.

The coal miners of Wyoming are
display ing good sense by continuing
TO work Notwithstanding the order to
strike.
They have no grievance and they
refuse to give up their places at the
command of an organization which
seeks to coerce the mine operators in
another state. Their first duty is
to themselves and to their families {;
and since they are earning good
wages and know it, they show strong
common sense by sticking to their
work and continuing to earn the
money upon which they and the per-
cons dependent upon them must rely.
The miners in the coal fields of
Colorado should have pursued the
same course. They were satisfied with
the terms and conditions under which
they were working and they would
not have thought of striking if they
had not been ordered to do so.
The Wyoming miners are not med
ding in the affairs of the miners in
Colorado. They are sticking to their
work and they are wise in doing so.
