Every housekeeper should know
that II they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because 1t
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains sixteen ounces

quarter.pound packages, and the price
Is the same, 10 cents. Then again be-

hand which he wishes to dispose Of be-

Business il New Orleans.

The following excerpts from Dun's
Review Of April %, showing general
and market conditions at New Orleans,
will prove of interest:
General Conditions obbing trade
has fallen off TO some extent, as large
number of travelling statesmen have
come home on account OF the Easter
holidays. Sales for the present month
are considerably In excess of a year
ago. Retail trade is fairly good. The
local market for real estate continues
quite active, a large number of sales
having been consummated at prices
that show q very large increase in
value.
Cotton Trading in cotton has been
of fair proportions, but the market is
rather weak, quotations for futures at
one time being ten or twelve points
under seven cents. The spot market,
however, has been rather firm and
closes from fifteen to twenty points
over the closing quotations for futures.
Receipts of cotton at all ports, s, $780,
496 bales, against 6,871, $50 last year;
stocks 716, 2l3 bales, against 435, lse
last year.
Rice-Receipts OF rough rice for the
season amount to 1,285, oil sacks,
against |, 318, ITO last year. Receipts
OF clean rice, 6le,8 pockets, against
al 400 last year. The market for both
clean and rough rice has been dull,
the demand being almost entirely for
the lower grades for exports. Prices
are unchanged.
sugar-The market for plantation
sugar has been dull. Receipts are of
good proportions, but the demand
only fair. The tone of the market is
easier. Refined sugars are unchanged
and ID only fair demand. There is a
better demand for mo1asses, and all
offerings are being absorbed.

Puskegee Institute Attacked.

Much attention is being attracted In
educational and benevolent circles,
and elsewhere as well, by the appear
ance in book form of a series of
Letters from Tuskegee; Being the
Confessions Of Yankee" in which
Booker Washington's celebrated
Tuskegee Institute is declared to be a
sham, conducted in manner that
makes it mere shadow and pretense
of the .sschool for the industrial edu-
cation Of the negro" it is reputed to
be.
The author of these letters, who
halls from Boston and signs himself
"Ruperthe Fennstoke, = alleges that
he began his investigation of ''Tuske-
gees" methods as friend and ad-
mirer of the institution, and with the
purpose of writing letters of an en-
tirely different tenor from those he has
given to the public, but three years
OF a careful and unprejudiced study of
the stu ationn have completely changed
his views. He assails the moral stand
ing of the faculty and the students, and
alleges that the industrial ends
which are professedly the main feature
of the institute. virtually cut no figure
in its practical workings. The numer-
Gus buildings claimed to have been
erected by bona ide students are said
to have been built by hired carpenters,
fraudulently enrolled as pupils of the
school. An attempt was made last
year to enforce a rule that every in
mate of the institution should do
manual labor for short while each
day, but 300 of the students promptly
astruck" and decamped, and the OBJ
noxious rule was either abrogated or
modified. Applications for capable
domestics are frequently ignored by
the principal, presumably because few
OF the Tuskegee graduates care to en-
gage in such a mental occupation as
houseWork. An instance is cited of a
graduate of the s'plain and fancy sew
ing department" being engaged as a
seamstress, with the result that her
total inability to sew was discovered,
and she confessed that she was given
the choice of any Industrial diploma
of her graduation with high honors in
because two other branches, namely,
"vocal culture and modelling art.''
AS the New Orleans Times Democrat
says, these are very serious charges
and should be promptly and thor
oughly investigated. If they are true
the sham should be effeetua ally exposed
and the public protected from further
imposition. # the allegations are
false, the fact cannot be too quickly
Or clearly made known, in order that
the good name and future usefulness
of Booker Washington and his noted
school may not be destroyed by mis-
representation and calumny.
