A Rad SHOWING FOR BOOKER.

In the Alabama legislature a few
DAYS ago the member from the co11ty
in which Tuskegee is located arose in
his place and stated to the assembled
body of lawmakers that not one o. the
Graduates in his county of Becker
Washington IS school was earniag an
honest livelihood; that two of them
had been hang for rape, and many
others punished for the commission OF
every known crime.
This statement was made Daring a
general discussion of the negro ques-
tion. brought on by bill to apprOpri-
ate a certain amount of money to the
cause of negro education in Alabama.
The News has long been convinced
that Booker Washington is doing
nothing for the real good OF his race
nothing, in short, for anyone except
himself. There is one thing he Is &C
complishing, however, and that very
RAPIDLY: he is waxing fat and wealthy
off the profound confidence displayed
in him AID his methods by ,so-calied
philanthropists of the north and some
of our citizens of the south.
To the trash pile with ali this BOOK
er Washington sentiment 1T is sick
ening and pitiful, without any SEM
bIanee of reason.

HANGED HIMSELF ON RAIL
WAY BRIDGE.
Charles III. French Was In Poor
Health and Dependent.

The following will be Of local in
terest, as the party named was scc
retary and treasurer of the Hath
away Graphite Manufacturing com
pany, in this village, about three
years ago, residing here for few
months.
Charles ]. French, aged 60, book
keeper who resided with his son-in
law, James r. Griffin, at 457 Four
teenth ST., Detroit, committed suicide
Thursday Of last week, by hanging
himself from the Union station rail
way viaduct between Tenth and
Twelfth streets. Dependency in.
duced by ill health is assigned as the
incentive for the deed.
The body was found shortly after
4:30 the following morning by a
driver for the Fay commission house.
who had gone early to the freight
depot. 1t swung against the side
wall, just west Of Bourke's ware
house and on the south side of the
tracks. A rope was knotted about
the iron gaspipe railing above, and
the other end fastened in slip
moose about the neck of the victim.
There was no sign OF broken
neck or of violent death. 1t APP
peared rather that the man had let
himself down carefully by the rope
until it was stretched taut, when
he had died by strangulation.
Mr.. French was GO years old, well
dressed, with gray hair and nous :
tache. He had been in the employ
OF the Clough & Warren piano COM
pany for the past lS months as a
bookkeeper in the Offices at 2l3
Woodward.ave. For several days
he had been unable to work on ac-
count of illness, though hit to be re-
currance of former severe liver
trouble. Thursday however, a physi-
cion had diagnosed the case as APP
pendicitis, and had advised a surgi-
cal operation as necessary. This
weighed upon the mind of the sick
man and in fit of morbid despod-
ency it is presumed that he decided
to end his life.
French was member of Ivanhoe
commandery. No. 36, Knights
Templar. Besides wife and mar
ried daughter he leaves son, who
is employed at Milford.
