DRESSES ARE MADE.

one hundred of the leading negro edu-
Gators in the United States assembled
here today in Lemoyne institute at the
opening of the third annual convention
of the National Association of Colored
Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges and
Schools for Secondary and Higher eduea-
tion

and discussion of problems that confront
those engaged in educational work
among the negroes. The assembly was
called to order by r. R. Wright presi-
dent of the Georgia State Industrial col
lege at Savannah.
The convention was opened by prayer.

E. Brown, principal of the Memphis ne
gro high school.

dress of the president, settine forth the
objects of the association, what had been

present state and the purpose of the as
sociation was to counteract the seeming
ly growing influence.
There was also an address by Rev
George Moore, field agent of the Ameri-
can Missionary association, the organi-
cation which sustains the Lemoyne school
school in this city. The American Mis-
sionary association is not a member of
the National Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Colleges for negroes, but is such a
potent factor in negro educational mat
ters that representative was directed to
be present at a convention of such i'm
portance to those engaged in that work.
The convention adjourned at noon and
reassambled at o'clock this afternoon.
The afternoon session was devoted to
the reading of two interesting papers.
One on 1.-THE Teacher in the Communi-
ty" by Prof. e. L. Blackshear of Prairie
View Normal school, and the other on
THE Education of the Northern Colored
Man" by Anna j. Cooper of the M Street
High school, Washington, D. c.

San Antonio, Tex, December 2S.-Locked
and barred within his house, dead by
his own hand and cremated by a fire of
his own setting was the fate of August

flames lick up the body on the bed and
the bricks of the chimney fall upon the
remains. After the fire part of the
charred body was found with two
wounds in the breast, made either by a
knife or pistol. Both these weapons were
found twisted by the heat. Weight suf-

TEN FINE PLAYERS
ARE ON THEIR WAY
YALE BASKETBALL TEAM THAT
COMES TO BIRMINGHAM IS
PlckED-soME INTERESTING
GOSSIP OF SOUTHERN TOUR.

The Yale university basket ball team
are carrying ten of the best players in
their school on their southern trip. Hyatt,
the tall athlete in the center of the pic
ture, has played on the team three sea-
sons previous to this. He is six feet one
irch and weighs 16O pounds. His home Is
in Connecticut, as is also Churchs, the
1870 pound guard. Both of these men live

Barbers home is in Cleveland. He is
nephew of the late President McKin-
ley. Rockwell, the great quarterback,
halls from Portland, Ore. Ortmayer and
Fargo from Chicago; Carter is from
Massachusetts, and Kinney from New
Jersey.
Three of these men were on the varsity
foot ball team and six on the baseball
team, while another is sure of place
or the crew this year. Manager McLana-
han made his American reputation last
spring by breaking the poll vault record
doing a little over twelve feet. He is
captain of the Yale 1905 track team. Such
a noted group of athletic stars have
never visited our city as will don their
uniforms at the Y. NJ. C. A, gymnasium
tomorrow night. Yale has never sent out
50 many of her choice men on a basket
ball team as are on this trip.
Dr. Dedman, who is one of the NEST
painstaldng and careful basket ball men
in the city. will act as umpire in the
game Friday night and it is probable thaE
McLanahan of Yale, will referee.

GEN. SLOCUM INQUEST
CORONER's JURY VIEWS HULK OF
STEAMER.
Taken On Patrol Boat Over Course of
Inflated Excursion Boat
Fire Started i'm
Barrel.

New York, June 27.-The Coroner's
jury investigating the General Slocum
disaster. was taken to the hulk of the
burned steamer at Erie Basin today.
and after an inspection of the wreck
and the examination of several wit
nesses, proceeded in a police patrol
boat over the course followed by the
steamer on the day Of the Inflated ex-
cursion.
Former Fire Inspector Thomas F.
Freele said he had examined the hulk
of the vessel on the day 1t was raised.
He found that the fire started in one
of the barrels in the forward hatch
way.
How do you tell?" was asked.
"The barrel tells" Mr.. FREEZE re-
piled, holding up one of the loosened
slaves.
The blackened edges show that it
was burned from the bottom and from
inside out There are no marks of
burning on the outside except in
small place whore it burned through"
After seeing all of the hulk they
desired, the patrol boat started up the
river Captain Edward Van Wart,
chief pilot of the Slocum took the helm
and pointed out to the jurymen the
exact course taken by the Slocum.
CAPTAIN Van Wart believes that Cap
tain Van Schaick, in running his yes
sci to North Brothers Island did the
best that could be done under the cir
cumstances.
The inquest probably will be COM
pleted tomorrow.

An odd story.
London Chronicle.

London Chronicle.
A little story which throws an in
teresting light on at least one South
African war pension, comes from a
well known British firm of gunmak-
ers.
The other day an employee, who may
be called for the present purpose Sam"
Jenkins, and who had lost a leg at
the battle of Magersfontein, stumped
into the managers ONCE and announc-
ed that he wanted to leave.
Jenkins was known to the manager,
for he had been employed by the Arm
before the war, and had even, on his
engagement after the campaign.
been supplied by them with a cork leg
in place of the limb he had lost under
very peculiar circumstances.
His account of the injury that cost
him his leg is a remarkable one. The
wound was sustained after the disast-
rous attempt of the Highland Brigade
in which Jenkins served-to rush the
Boer trenches at Magersfontein.
All the following morning. 1t will be
remembered. the survivors of the I'M
successful night attack lay facing the
enemys position, exposed to a heavy
short range fire.
II they lifted a hand it drew a hail
of bullets. while the bare insides of
their knees were so f1ayed by the burn
ing sun that hundreds were complete
ly famed for a considerable time.
ITO add to our enjoyment" says
Jenkins, there were our own big guns
in the rear a-firing over us--an' some
times firing short.
One of their shells burst with a
bang near me and killed the man lying
next to me- At the same time 1 felt
what seemed like a sharp twinge on
the foot.
Very cautiously slid my hand down
an found my leg had been nearly shot
off. No. 1t was queer, but it didn't hurt
much then-not till moved
"A few minutes later 1 noticed some
thing glittering in front of me.
slowly grooved out a bit of trench in
the hot sand and pulled myself to 1t
without knocking against a Boer bull
let.
The glittering thing was the base
of a shell. I turned 1t over and saw
on It private mark. such as workmen
a our firm put on the work they do.

No NEWS OF LOOMS.
Family Has Heard Nothing Authoritative
of Missing Man.

washington June 27-Mr. Loomis. assist
ant Secretary of State. has had nothing
whatsoever to confirm or contradict the ru-
NOR that the body of his brother. Kent. j.
Loomis. had been washed ashore on the
French coast. and the consular service of
the State Department not the slightest clue
has yet been obtained with reference to the
mysterious disappearance.
The fact that nothing has been heard OF
the lost man Is tending to confirm the fears
of his family that he was either drowned or
has met with foul play. The Assistant Sec
rotary this afternoon took occasion to deny
very emphatically a number of reports
emanating from Parkersburg. w. Va. the
home of his family. which stated that the
family OF Mr.. Kent. LOOMS had received
word from him some days ago that he was
having trouble with Mr.. Ellis, with whom
he was travelling.
The State Department has had advices of
the sailing of Mr.. Ellis from France for
Djiboutil where he commences his over
land journey to Abyssinia's capital with the
commercial treaty which he is to deliver to
King Menelik.
This treaty was in the luggage of Mr.
Kent Loomis which was sent to Paris Word
was received that Mr.. Ellis had offered to
remain on the scene for two weeks to as
sist in the search for Mr.. Loomis and had
offered to have of his party return to
Plymouth to aid the authorities there but
it was thought that such assistance
would avail in the search.
