mas CelebEati0n.


A conspicuous guest at the Male Orphan
Asylum Tuesday night. upon the oc-
casfon Of the annual Christmas celeora-
ton Of the happy youngsters. was Gen
eral F'ftzhugh Lee. who accepted the In
vita ton Of the president Of the institu-
ton, went out. and made Characters
tic, Inspiring talksto the boys.
There was a Christmas-tree.b bright with
candles and heavy with presents; and
among the decorations was large cross,
presented by the colored boys of the
negro Reforma tory.
The president of the institution had a
few words to say, but was glad to give
the boys the best illustrations of what
he had to say In the persons of Rev.
James Cook. who. once a boy of the
place, was now a most useful citizen and
head of a family, and General Fttzhugh
Lee. who, under the most trying circuna-
stances. had shown himself man, pa
triot. and a Christian gentleman.
General Lee responded to the invitation
to speak. and said that he re-
joiced to see the happy family be-
fore him; the honest kindly faces of the
boys and the tender joyousness of the
noble woman, in looking at their happi-
ness and in her consciousness that her care
was not thrown away. but that fine crop
of men were growing up around her.
And he enjoyed. too, the presence Of all
the good people about the place, her In
valuable helpers. =
He exhorted the boys to use their oppor-
tunities; make the present condition
level to rise from Washington, the sur
veyor; Marshall. the half-educated boy,
and the countless heroes and statesmen
Of America; admonished them that to
honorable. wise and energetic manhood
the ways were open in their favored land
from the lowest to the highest
Then followed a good supper for the
boys and guests, which all enjoyed.

the Virginia Institute. as the Southwest

Some time ago the Baptist denomination
set on foot a movement to relieve the
school Of embarra ssment. Twelve thous.

January 1903. The time expires to-day,
and the amount had not been raised up

one time pastor Of Fulton Baptist church,
and later pastor Of Emmanuel church. In
this city. was the leader in the enter
prise, and money for it was given by the
Baptists all over the State
Some years later the school was moved
to Bristol and large and extensive build
ings were erected. In this large debt
was created. and the recent history OF
the institution is largely occupied with
a struggle to pay off this debt.
The school was sold not long ago under
decree Of court, and was bought In by
representative men and is now known
as the Virginia Institute.

It is not claimed for the appended
tables that they are absolutely accurate.
A great effort was made to have them

the census for the year has not yet been
prepared and five other ministers did not
respond to the efforts made to have the

accepted as absolutely correct. The Jew
