FIRST HANK OF SILK.
Secretary Wilson Shows Work of His
 Silk Keeling Machines.

Washington, August 21,-Secretary Will son exhibited on his desk today ip the ag- ricultural department the first hank of silk reeled from silk reeling machines re- gently purchased by the department. There are tthree of these machines, though only one of. them has been put in operation, the intention being to send one of the two remaining machines to Tuskegee and the other to some other place where pupils may be taught to op- crate 1t.
 Cocoons have been purchased from all over the country and two expert female French operatives have been brought to Washington to teach the operation of the machines. It is Wilson's desire to have the people of the south and especially col- ored persons learn the business. Arrange ments already have been made to have some girls come to Washington to learn the machines and they are expected daily. Secretary Wilson says that the department is prepared to do everything possible to encourage the industry and that silk worms as well as young null berry trees will be supplied to persons de- string to engage in the business
