Judge Terrell's Estimate of DR..
Observation-Disclosures.

Four men out of every five who
have arrayed themselves in oppo-
sition to the head of Tuskegee are
influenced by jealousy. [ am sor-
ry to say it, but it is true. There
is absolutely no reason why col
Ored men should oppose him. He
is in a position to be more help
ful to the race than any living
man, and | believe that his gospel
of work, and his idea of prepara-
ton for the occupations that the
Negro. masses must engage in will
be the salvation of the race. The
few men who have started a cru
sade against Booker Washington
have not affected his influence in
the slightest way either at home
or abroad. More than that, one
thOusnd students were refused at
TuSkegee Institute this fall be-
cause there was no room for them.
The unseemly and wicked demon
stration against Booker Washing
ton in Boston last summer has
only served to help the man among
all people, white and black. There
is said to be some opposition
among colored men to what is
called the political leadership of
Booker T. Washington. [ don't
believe that he occupies the posi-
ton of political leader in any
particular. He may be called by
the authorities from time to time
to give evidence as to a mans S
character or fitness for place when
that man has been recommended
and indOrsed by other people.
This is his right as an American
citizen. Those who are fighting
him along this line are simply dis
gruntled and disappointed office
holders.-Interview with Judge

slowls and the length of the line 1t
travcs is very short.
A are signal is the one that an
nou..ces that the train mas parted.
leaving a car or two behind. This is
made by first giving an up and down.
and then 4 circular movement; up and
down, then u circle; upon and down,
then a circle.
The speed of these signals denotes
their urgency. Slow and gentle, the
engineer obeys them slowly and gently.
Fierce, emphatic, swift as lightning,
the engineer obeys them just as fast
as he possibly can.
An old Western railroader talked
yesterday about the signals that were
used on the NJ, X. and p. road TWEEN
ty years ago.
"They were not altogether like the
Pennsy's," he said. Some of them,
in fact, were radically different.
Whether they still maintain on the NJ,
X and p, of course, l don't know.
The night signals with the lantern
on the M, K. and P. were: Stop
swing the lantern across the track;
back, move the lantern in a straight
line up and down; go ahead circle
the lantern around your head at arm s
length vertically.
1.-The M, K. and P. day signals were
pretty much the same as we have here
in the East only stop was made by
moving the hands in vertical semi-cir
cles from the ears down to the hips
and back again.
These, as 1 say the old man end
ed, were the signals out West twenty
years ago. Maybe, by this time, the
Pennsys signals are used out there. l
don't know anything about that"
Besides the hand and lantern sig
mails, there are those of flags, the
whistles and the torpedoes. The flag
signals are:
A red fiag-"Danger. Stop at once"
A green f1ag-"Caution. Go very
slowly"
A white fiag-"Ar right now. Go
right ahead
In conjunction with the flags tor
pedoes are often used. The explosion
of one torpedo means that the train
must stop; two means that it is to re-
dpce its speed, advancing cautiously.
A fuse burning on the track is warn
ing that the train is to halt and not
go on until the fuse is quite burnt
out.
The whistle signals are worth know
| ing. He who understands them need
| no longer rail at the engineer and hold
| his ears when the locomotive shrieks
and bowls numerically; for now each
| Shrek, each howl, has its meaning
| for him. Here, then, are the whis-
| ties:
One long blast-"We are approaching
a station, a crossing or junction"
One short blast-'Put on the brakes.
We are going to stop here"
Two long blasts-"Throw off the
| brakes"
Two short blasts-"All right. Your
signals are understood
Three long blasts-"The train has
parted"
Three short blasts-"Look out. The
| train is going to back"
Four long blasts-"Hurry aboard,
| flagmen!"
| Four short blasts-"Show your sig
nails, you lubbers, so that we may
| know what to do
Five short blasts-"Let the fagmen
go back and protect the rear of the
| train"

A CIRCUS QUEENS SAD END.
Once Famous Elizabeth Howard I'm
Pauper's Grave.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
There recently died in New Orleans
the one time queen of the circus"
Elizabeth Howard, who forty years ago
divided honors with Dan Rice. In the
old days Miss Howard was easily the
most popular female performer in the
sawdust ring, but the last twenty years
of her life were spent selling newspa-
pers in the streets of the Southern
city.
Time was when Elizabeth Howard
received $3.50 for forty minutes work
each night. And the success of the
entire performance depended upon her
whim as much as the singing of a
grand opera does upon the humor OF a
prima donna.
During her life in New Orleans "Old
Miss Howard" as she was known to
the newsboys and street urchins, earned
about so cents a day, and to 10 this
she was forced to rise at 2 o'clock in
the morning, summer and winter, and
be at Newspaper row at 3 o'clock, when
the morning papers sent out their city
editions.
1t is said that Miss Howard arrived
in New Orleans about twenty years
ago. OIlG COlQ WlAllCl . ABOIUAtlB IL
sweet faced. white haired old woman
was seen selling papers at the inter-
section of Customhouse and Royal
streets. She had rude little table
with uncertain legs. When it was
time to close her shop" she asked per-
mission of nearby storekeeper to al
low her table to remain over night in
his establishment. Then she trudged
home to bare, cherries little room
somewhere down town in the French
quarter.
After awhile she returned, passing
the corner on her way to the levee for
a walk. She was followed by six dogs,
her friends and companions. This was
the history of each of the last days
of the old woman's life. She never Sc
lected any other corner, and she was
never absent from her little stand.
She always went for her walk accom-
panied by half dozen dogs.
Sometimes a change was noticed in
the personnel of her canine bodyguard,
some of them falling victims to age,
accidents or the dog catcher. But there
were always six of them.
There are times when the most cheer
full and willing of souls VIII rebel at
the idea of going out into the darkness
of bleak morning and standing in
the face of a stiff, icy wind that blows
OIL AA9HN AVh Tue JUL pus MISS hoW-
ard was always patient and gentle.
While she rarely smiled, she bravely
faced life and the changes it had for
her, and when her work was done she
folded her arms and went away.
Miss Howard is held by many to have
been the most dashing, the most dar-
ing circus woman the world ever knew.
She was the first person, man or wom-
an, to tumble through paper hoops
while her horse was going at a mad
gallop. She could perform on the hcri-
zontal bars, too, and as a dancer she
rivaled Carmencira. She had a voice
Of richness and power.
Miss Howard deserted the circus for
