MILFORD SMITH TALKS
ADDRESSED CoLoRED MEMS
 SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION.
Negro Lawyer Advises Audience to stand Up for Rights and Ex- plains Litigation to Con-
 test Constitution.

Milford H. Smith of New York. the ne- gro lawyer representing Jackson w. Giles in his efforts to have the State Con- stitution declared invalid. spoke to about fifty members of the Colored Suffrage As- sociation of Alabama at the negro Con- gregational Church on High Street. last night. The speech of Smith was even-tempered and at times eloquent. He dealt almost exclusively with the legal steps he had taken to nullify the Constitution. and ex- plained at length his reasons for filing the new cases against the Registrars or Montgomery County.
 Smith referred to the increase in the number of lynchings and advised his au- dience to put themselves on the soundest financial basis in order to be able to stand up for their race rights.
 He began his remarks by congratuiat- ing the members on being the first ne- Rroes to fight for their constitutional privtiewes." In the North, he eaids the negroes call the members of their race In Alabama ''the banner negroes on ae- count of their fight against the Constitu- ton.
 Smith explained that the fight the Ala bama negroes are making Is trife com pared to what they may have to undergo. and urged them to prepare to make a stand against the Supreme Court, the South, the North. or the world" for their rights.
 The negroes, he said. have too much confidence in the Supreme Court and out- side sources. They should stand on their own footing.
 He then traced his actions from the filing of the first suit to the present time. Smith argued that he received no turn down from the Supreme Court. but 1t gave him in its opinion an encouraging intimation that the Constitution is void.
 At the meeting of the Supreme Court in October, he will bring up his other three cases, more to consolidate and advance them. He expects an opinion by Decem- Der.
 He urged the negroes to stand together. Immigration threatened their position as the laborers of the Union. and he urged them to acquire property in order to meet this condition.
 The speaker was given the closest at- tention by his audience and was fre- quently applauded.
 An old ''uucle" came near going into hystericai rapture when Smith told the negroes of a probability of voting in the near future.
 At the close of his remarks. resolu- ton, laudatory in character. was intro duced thanking Smith and Giles for their services and providing that their por- traits be hung in the home of every mem ber of the Association.
 Nathan Alexander presided and intro duced the speakers. Giles occupied a place of prominence on the rostrln. Short talks were made by Alexander and Elders Sims and Harris.

to extort from Saul promise of safety for him. When the promise was broken, be warned David cf danger. At the same time he gave his father indisputa ble evil dence of his fidelity. He fought for fiYn and died with him.
 Again. while Jonathan recognised his prospective right to the throne after the order of human law. and was conscious of his ability to reign. yet when the theo- cratic purpose that David should succeed Saul was evident. he bowed in the com plete self-abnegG Gtion of one who in e later period of IsraePs history, said, 'He must increase. but I must decrease"
 The Teachers Le-'---
 Pythagora's dictum. ''Friendsliip. one soul in two bodies" is the classic ccur. terpart to the expressive sacreda record that the soul of Jonathan was linked to the soul of David.
 Friendship Is the best and the eviiess of things. When based upon a common and true faith. and guided by the mu- tuai purpose of obedience to God, 1t is a fragrant remnant of paradise regain ed, as well as strong buttress to char acter. Friendship not so based and transfused. has in it clements of positive danger.
 That '1ie of necessity" is a blot upon an otherwise fair record. It was born of unbelief. David got morbid and fearful over Saul's course toward him. He thought deceit justihabIe and necessary under the circumstances. His course Is not explicitly condemned in the narra- tive. but the consequences show it un- necessary and disastrous.
 The ideal friendship before us ripened in the storm. Washington remarked, True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of diversity before 1t is en- titled to the appeliation."
 It is utterly impossible to serve an envious master. The more wisely David behaved. the better Saul hated him. But the Bethlehemfte's obedience was unto the Lord as we'll unto the king. And the Lord failed not to reward him.
 It was good for us as we'll as David's self that God trained him in the school Of diversity. The laufeI-crowned head must not be allowed to lift itself too high. David was to become for thou sands of years a loved and comforting companion to the weary and oppressed of every sort, and for that reason no cup of trouble must pass him untasted.
 On the other hand, there was a point beyond which the fiIial piety of Jona- than could not be expected to Ko When he heard his mother vilely spoken of, and saw that the death Of his friend was de- termined. and his fathers hand lifted against himself. he was grieved, and de- clined further participation in the ban quet and withdrew in fierce anger.
 Finally. David's course is true to na- ture. Young and healthful, life is dear to him. He is keenly alert to his peril. He feels that there is but a step be-

 It was never contended that the negro had any malice towards Mrs. Owens but that being drunk he reckiessly shot into the wagon where Mrs. Owens was seated.
 On the scafeold today he said that the men in the wagon with Mrs. Owens as we'll as himself were ali drunk and that and that he had nothing against Mrs. Owens. He neither admitted nor denied killing her, not knowing whether he did or not.
 He died in II minutes by stFanguia- ton. Tinsel was a turpentine hand at McDufie's still and practically nothing Is known of him prior to the killing.

 The little s-year-oid daughter of the Cxar of Russia who has every prospect of becoming Empress of Russia if she has no brother. is a little woman of world wide importance. According to the Russian laws of succession heretofore this could not be, as long as there is male member of the family. but tt Is stated on authority that the law Is to be 50 altered as to enable her--the Cxar's oldest daugh- ter. to ascend the throne when Nicholas III dies.
 The czar is a great believer In wcman's rights and 1t is said that at great social gathering In St. Petersburg he recently srotxe on the subject as follows. to an intimate friend:
 Count. l regard many of the restric- tious placed on women's activity in the world to be unjust in the extreme nee no reason why men should exclude women SO Jeaiously from the sphere in which they might gain distinction and confer benefits on all mankind. Women. in my opinion. are capable of partici- pating in many branches of professions and commercial occupations. and there is no reason why educated women should not take part iE politics: The participa. tian of women In public affairs would certainly have to he limited to those of the upper classes. but 1t would not be totaly impracticahle My own daughters will be systematically instructed h politics and current public affairs. so that they may take an Intelligent interest in the welfare of the country and learn something of the duties of 6 monarch.
 On another recent occasion the Cxar touched on the same subject in conver- sation with Russian lady who Is known to be a keen advocate of women's rights In their fullest form.

MANUAL TRAINING
 BY THE HAND.

There is q prevailing impression that manual training as used in public schools in some cities Is based on a desire to give boys and girls start at some trade This is not so. 4 recent writer on the subject distinguishes a training Tor trade from the manual training Of schools in this way:
 Manual training of the hand means the learning of a trade. while manual training by the hand is distinctly edaca- school principal points out. says an exchange that:
 1t Is a we'll established fact. that the training of the hand so as to make 1t automatic and therefore of service in a trade has little influence on the brain, but much upon the muscles. Automatic hand or muscle movements neither re- quife nor cause extensive brain activity
 The brain must have material to work on. These materials cannot be supplied except through the senses-sensuous ob- servation through all manner of manual activity. The hand acts as g sort of a drag-net for the brain; provides it with innumerable sensuous observations, and these make the basis of an education.
