TALKED OF TIE NEGRO.
Address by Frof. zsKelly-Miller at
Shilsh Clsnrch.

small but apparently appreciative au-
dience attended the Shiloh Baptist Church
last night to hear, Prof Kelly-Miler talk
on 'The Drift and Tendency of the Negro
Population" Represented statistics COW
ering the most vital points of the race.
1t was brought out that the center of
population of thesnegro. who forms one
eighth of the totalipopuhtion of the United
states-numberinse 9.OoaoOo people, is in
northern Alabama and tmoving southwest.
In spite of large drifting to the north, the
bulk of the negrot popuIa ton (32 per cent?
remains south. meferrtng the conditions
there to the indnstriaI conditions in the
north.
He deplored the tendency of the negro to
flock to the large cities. saying six cities
nave over $1,000 while seventy-two cities
5,OGO. Much to be preferred, he said, is
the log cabin. when compared with the in
sanitary and debasing city tenement and
alley houses Mention was also made of the
excess of females in cities. This Is re-
grettable, he said, for morality is highest
where there is balance between the sexes.
Here in Washington the negro females ex-
ceed the males by 10000, he said.
In speaking of occupations, Mr.. Miller
said the members of the race should be
prepared to do the work that devolves upon
them, but no boy or girl ought to take a
low occupation when he can fill and Sc
cure better one
Figures were given proving the fallacy of
the elimination of the negro through in
ternal disntegrat ton, and also the ridic-
ulousness of the negro overrunning this
country through extraordinary reproduc-
tion. A careful estimate placed the negro
one hundred years hence at 10 per cent of
the total population of the United States.
The responsibility of uplifting this large
percentage of the population of this coun-
try he said, is national.

NO DANGER FROM ICE.
Believed the Potomac Will Be Cleared
Without Damage Resulting.

The thick ice which has covered the Poto-
mac from above Georgetown to it's source
started running down stream this morn
ing with the current coming down from
above, and in order to prevent any danger
of the floating ice gorging at the railway
and new highway bridges Commodore SUIT
ton called into service this morning
his fleet of tugs and sent them to the Aque-
duct bridge to break up the ice as 1t comes
down into pieces small enough to float out
under the bridges without hanging up
against the piers.
While the tide this morning was quite
high there is no Indication of a freshet in
the river and it is believed that the ice
will float off without causing any trouble
The river from Georgetown to it's mouth
has been free of ice for several days past
and the masses now coming down, have
plenty OF room to spread out and float
away to Chesapeake bay without gorging,
particularly as there is some current run
ming to aid in taking the ice down river.
