MORE EDUCATION NEEDED

NEW YORK. March 22.-Bishop w. b.

African Methodist Episcopal Church, and

of the Morris Brown College of Atlanta.

and both were hopeful of the future of the
colored race.
Bishop Derrick pointed out that education
for the masses. both white and black. in
the South. is deficient and continued:
what the colored people of the South
need is the passage of bill like the Blair
measure in the last Congress. That bill
is based on a sound conception of the edu-
cational needs Of the Southern negro. We
do not ask the Nation TO pension us. We
ask the Nation, though, to educate US so
we can support ourselves.
Speaking of the belief among Northern
people that colored people are not safe In
the South DR.. Stinson said:
"You think we are going to be annihilated
down there some day. That is because
some one like Mr.. Tillman comes up here
and makes few raw statements. The fact
of the matter is that the Governor himself
could not stop the punishment of the
negroes in some cases where they are guilty

A $4,000 PLATE.


Washington Letter in New York Tribune.
When j. Pierpont Morgan visited Wash
ington last week il was noticeable that his
mind occupied largely with one sub
ject-fine works of art and the enormous
duty on the same which the Dingley tariff
imposes. Mr.. Morgan did not ask Secre-
tary Shaw TO make any special ruling that
would permit him TO empty his London
storehouse of its $4,000, 900 load of art
works but he did spend some time in the
Treasury Department discussing the aues-
ton from purely academic" standpoint
do you know, he casually remarked to
a high treasury official, that the ideas of
some of the customs collectors on the sub
ject of art exceedingly wonderful? /

which cost me just $4,000. The plate is
not worth much. but the decoration on Ii is
very beautiful. rare and ancient. Now, any
customs collector would classify that plate
as decorated china when, as matter of
fact, it is a work of art. which happened to
be placed on china plate instead of on
piece of canvas
Mr. Morgan became enthusiastic over the
recollection of his London art collection.
He detailed his experience I'm the acQuisi-
of the vases were sold to him by an art
connoisseur who had owned them for many

Morgan paid $4,000 for the three. One even

drew from his pocket two vases exactly like
the first three. He explained that he under

Levees May Have to Be Cut and the
People Are Becoming Angry.
VICKSBURG, Miss, March 22.-Officers
of the steamer City of st. Joseph. which
reached here this afternoon from Green
vile, report critical state Of affairs along
the Issaquena county front. ALI along the
line the water is almost level with the
crown of the levees and at several points it
is washing over. New work is sluffing bad
ly and at Filters great cave has appeared
in the old levee. Into this cavity 1000 sacks
filled with sand have been dumped without
perceptible effect. Inpector Dulaney, who
is in charge of the work there, has about
decided to cut the old levee at half dozen
places, as a sudden break would be disas-
trous to the new levee further back. This
is vigorously opposed by people living be-
tween the 1evees and feeling is said to be
running high.
tard there is imminent danger at several
points, where large forces of laborers are
working day and night. The City of st.
Joseph brought In more than hundred
refugees, men, women and children, from
the Davis and kiger places, and will go
back as soon as discharged for others who
are imperiled by back water.
Four hundred head of stock have been
concentrated on the highest places at Aus
tralia awaiting removal, but it is feared
that most of them will be swept away be-
fore a boat can be secured for bringing
them out.
On the Louisiana side, about Pitchers
Point, conditions similar to those at Fit
lers exist and 1t is feared II will be i'm
possible to hold the line much longer. The
gauge here tonight registers 50.6 feet and
rising, and the under-the-hill section of
the city, embracing the wholesale district:
the railroad shops and congresses, is well
covered with water.

advanced" Young Woman Took Out
Marriage License Too Soon.

Washington Special.
Miss Anna b. Stopper will not change her
name to Lithgow, at least not just at pres
ent, although she obtained the legal right
to do so by procuring a marriage license
to marry Mr.. Arthur A. Lithgow. 1t seems
that the gentleman in question has no idea
of wedding the fair maid, and is Indignant
that the young lady went to the court
house and procured the license.
Miss Stopper evidently thought II time
to help Mr.. Lithgow along in his love-
making for yesterday she visited the mar
riage clerks Office, and. walking up to
the desk with bewitching smile on her
face, said: Il want to procure marriage
license for Mr.. Arthur A Lithgow and
Miss Anna y. Stopper. / am Miss Stopper,
and the minister who is to marry us is
named Rev. T. Chalmers, Easton."
When asked her age Miss Stopper did
not hesitate. but, with a pretty little blush.
replied: ''Twenty-one, and his age is thir-
ty-seven."
Miss Stopper had the fee ready. and when
the d made out b she paid the
tons of the clerk. However, Miss Stopper
evidently had not consulted Mr.. Lithgow
about the license, for later in the day a
very excited man rushed into the clerk
Office and announced that his name was
Lithgow. He said he wanted to have a
marriage license which had been issued
to Miss Stopper for her marriage to him
Il never told anyone / was going to get
married. and most certainly never asked
Miss Stopper to get the license 1 don't
want to get married. Probably she does.
but I don't, and that settles IL. Neither
do I want the report circulated that I am
to be married, when in reality am not"
Mr.. Lithgow explained to the clerks that
after Miss Stopper had procured the IL
cense she had called on him and informed
him that everything was all ready for the
wedding. All he could do was to express
surprise, and then went around to the
clerks Office to cancel the license.
The wedding has been indefinitely post
poned, but Miss Stopper has a marriage
license on her hands.

effect in allaying the uneasiness regarding

demand for money is also diminishing, and
little was heard last week about borrow

the Berlin stock market were the strength

Two virginias I'm Convention.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March 22-Most
OF the mine owners to-day refused to COM
ment on the mine commission award They
seem to be satisfied, or at least willing
TO abide by the findings. An officer of the
largest corporation who was willing to
talk said-the award was a vindication of
the coal companies, that the 10 per cent
increase and the reduction of hours to the
fremen had been all but conceded. He
said the report and the review of the coal
mining conditions will be of great ultimate
good, that violence and boycotts have been
denounced in no unmis;aKabie language
and that peace and normal conditions
would prevail in this region for the next
three years at least
All the local companies will put clerks

son. They were identical with the first
three. He casually asked the price on re-
turning TO the Office of the hotel. anc was
told that he might have the two at $l,Vo
each. He bought the vases.
When he saw the art connoisseur again
the latter man made the chance remark
that he understood there were five vases
in the set He counseled Mr.. Morgan to
spare no pains TO find the missing three
vases Then you will have such set as
cannot be duplicated I'm the world, he en-
Enthusiastically declared.
II did not tell him that / had already
made the valuable find" continued Mr.
Morgan, but the affection of the man for
the vases and his interest In the collection
made ii too good TO keep. / invited him
to dinner shortly after, and in the center
of the table / had placed the five vases.
When he took his seat and noticed them
he gave start. He arose and examined
each one of the vases, and was so affected
that he could not eat. His rejoicings near
ly threw him into fit of apoolexy.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Morgan has
made an impression on the minds of the
treasury officials regarding his art collec-
ton. He was undoubtedly satisfied that
he had begun at the proper source to shed
light on how his collection should be clas-
sfied when Ii lands in this country. and
he left the treasury after the recital of the
story seemingly well pleased.

HARRY E. FEICHT'S VIEWS.


Few Cooks tourists have made as much
of globe trottings as Harry Ellsworth
Feicht. who told i'm beautiful views at
the Grand Opera House last night. for
the eleventh time in Indianapolis. the story
of the passion of Christ as played by the
villagers of Oberammergau. Mr.. Feicht
has appeared in this city so many times
that n ost people are familiar with his
beautiful pictured descriptions of the little
Bavarian town and of the Passion Play.
Yesterday afternoon and last night the
Grand was comfortably filled with pleased
audiences. AS lecturer Mr.. Feicht is
successful, because he talks simply in a
conversational tone and is never at a loss
for effective words. The views he presents
are remarkably beautiful with faithful col
oring. Scenes around and in Oberammer-
gau are given. and then the play itself ex-
actly as given by the inhabitants of the
quaint hamlet is reproduced by means OF
his stereopticon views.
While many have seen Mr.. Feicht's pro-
duction. few are familiar with the manner
in which his idea started. An ordinary
Cooks tourist he visited Oberammergau
several years ago to see the play. While
marveling at the singular genius OF labor
ers and farm hands In coming from work
bench and pillow to reproduce with wonder
full accuracy the scenes In the life Of Christ
Mr.. Feicht came TO realization OF how
Bible. The idea took with him, and prin-
cipally for his own instruction and the
amusement of his friends he purchased all
the views of the play that had been taken
by Stuttgart man by special concession.
He paid $3.50 for them and had them
mounted later on for private exhibitions
he ought TO give the public the benefit of
the views, and he appeared a lecturer,
although never having made a speech I'm
his life.
One OF the best testimonials OF the real
worth OF his views of the town and the
play is the fact that last summer he Wis
tied Oberammergau. took with him a motor
from Munich, attached IL to a water wheel
i'm the town and placed before the Oberam-
mergauers scenes of their own town and
their own play. The townsmen Were de-
lighted, and Mr.. Feicht received. many
compliments from them. He became great
friends with Anton Lang. who played
Christus in 1900, and with others who took
leading parts in the Passion Play" The
electric lights arranged by Mr.. Feicht were
the first that had ever been seen In the old
town.

His Speech Should Serve a Good Pur-
pose in the North.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
Senator Tillman's speech at Madison last
Thursday was an impressive deliverance.
1t was perfectly frank, forcibly worded,
saturated with prejudice, yet i'm a way a
speech to be truly thankful for. 1t is a
good thing to know precisely where the
large class in the South who think and feel
with Mr.. Tillman stand on this question of
negro citizenship. and the Madison speech
helps to clear up all remaining doubt on
the subject. Brought up on a slave planta-
ton, 'nursed by a black nanny" re-
lgiously convinced that the mental educa-
ton which uplifts the white man only
serves TO transform the colored one from a
kindly servitor" into "a devouring demon
who rushes up and down seeking some
woman to devour and to destroy Mr.. Till
man vigorously pushes his premises to their
logical and practical conclusion. Bitterly
opposed to President Roosevelt s-as he re-
CARDS it-widely impractical and even
men to rise TO a plane of self-respecting cit
izenship. Mr. Tillman proposes to push the
negro down and keep him down, to keep
him in Ignorance, to take away his vote
and all chance OF regaining It. 10 shut
against him the door OF political opportu-
nifty peremptorily and absolutely as to
forbid all hope of seeing 1t reopened The

rights of citizenship now. but In order to
lay those dreadful specters social equal

kept unfit for them for all time to come
