in the resolution adopted by COM

Of Atlanta Ga. and West Point, Miss,
who visited Tuskegee Institute lately,
the resolution being as follows;
d" BE it resolved; That the Tuskegee
Institute is a great and beneficent IN

great and good man, and a benefactor
of both races in the South

The telegraph tells us of the death

politician and strong race leader, Col.
James Hill, of Mississippi. We can
not permit the announcement to go

admiration for the man willingly ac-
cords to his memory. In the galaxy
Of distinguished Negroes who were
the real leaders in Southern politics
during the reconstruction period, it is
Gllcult to determine whether first
place should be given to dear old
Wright Quincy, of Texas, or to Col.
Hill. Both were of the stuff from
winch Nature makes heroes. Cuney

worth to his people and his status
among men regardless of race. Hill

'ehlal, and in the presence of death

Grand onern tsnnse.

In order to properly equip a travelling theatrical company in these days it is necessary for the managers to carry all of their own scenery, properties and eff fleets and the proprietors of the play, "A Boy of the Streets" carry everything necessary for use on the stage. includ- ing a full school room scene with prac- tical desks. benches. blackoardsb etc. This scene represents one of the stody rooms in the Elmira. N. r. reforma- tory, and 1t is from a piece of cruelty exercised in that room that the story of "A Boy of the Streets" was taken. There is nothing exaggerated in this play, as the facts as developed by official inves- tigations were of themselves sufficiently melodramatic to furnish the foundation for the most thrilling story ever put on the stage. and 1t was these facts that appealed as strongly to the dramatists Charles T. Vincent. as the telling of them in dramatic form appeals to theatergoers everywhere. In order to Tighten the story somewhat a large amount of bright comedy and a number of catchy specialties have been intro duced, all of which are new and espee- ially prepared for this production. "A Boy os the Streets will be presented at the Grand for three nights and Sat- urday matinee, commencing Thursday might.

Pol,ss Theatey,

The famous schenk brothers and their incomparable acrobatic feats were the features of the big vaudeville bill at this tl1eater last night. The brothers aroused the greatest interest in series of eouilibrism and hand balancing stunts that held the attention os the audience throughout.
 John l.. Kearney and his brother Joe had their new comedy Tn Hook and r. to present and this was one of the em- phat.c hits of the bill. The story they tell is good and the company they pre- sent is also a capable one in every re- spect. |
 The Quaker City quartette of singers as the musical blacksmiths are also another one of the pleasing acts of the bill. Some rapid change work coupled with their excellent selections made the act a winner.
 Mathew and Ashley with their act as Hebrew and the Dude gave some of their experiences which brough forth much laughter.
 Connor and Cearl with the black face and eccentricities scored immensely as features of the long olio.
 Burke and his musical dogs was dis tinct hit of the bill. These canines have been trained to a degree Of perfection and their act is worthy of a good place on the bill.
 Carter and Bluford with their colored fashion plate act and the electrograph with complete change of the motion picture series makes up the bill.
 There was other good talent on the big bill.

PAUL JENTEs WILL.

The late Paul Jente, the we'll known Broadway grocer, left an estate valued at about s5O,000, so his friends estimate. He made money only within the past fifteen years. When he began the cash system, he was pioneer in it, he owed about $150O0. The cash system proved profitable from the start and he began to accumulate property.
 He was a very charitable man dur ing his lifetime. He left a will and that he had a big heart is attested in his will by handsome bequest to an old woman in Germany who reared him after his mother had died. The mother died when MT. Jente was very young and the woman took charge of him and brought him up.
 MT. Jente's will may be presented in the probate court this morning.

 The fire department was called out twice yesterday for two somewhat needless runs. The first alarm was from box 625 at il o'clock for a sup posed fire at 241 Sherman avenue. When the department arrived they found some steam escaping and someone had mistaken it for serious fire.
 They returned to their houses and at 12:51 were again called out for a fire at 27 Mill street, called by box 72. This fire was in some paper piles and was soon extinguished. H
