Tuskegee and Its Teachers.

Now. today, Tuskegee shows 600 negro
students. taught by $50 teachers Of their
own race. The colored race having done
this here and In several other similar col
leges and schools in widely scattered parts
of the south. proved that the whole race Is
capable of being eventually elevated
through education to a high state of gen
eral civilization just as our white race has
been elevated by the few unusually gifted
individuals who led the way, cleared the
path, beekoned their less gifted brethren
on, and led them upward to their own high
standard. No race ever rose in any other
way. All needed and produced exceptional
men to lead them The colored race has
produced its Washington. Douglas Langs-
ton. Price, Chestnut, Dunbar. Tanner The
march of the negro is upward and onward
under their guidance,
I'VE are upon the right path, therefore,
ladies and gentlemen, when we seek the
educated and puhlic-spirited members OF
southern society to permit us TO cooperate
with them in expanding the influence OF
Tuskegee and her sister institutions and in
elevatng the colored race In every way
and we are also right in asking them to
cooperate with us as citizens of the great
republic, now more closely united into one
harmonious " hole than ever possible
before. when the two antagonistic systems
of freedom and slavery prevailed.
''Ihis is no sectional question. 1t Is ma
tional. and we of the north cannot evade
the responsibilities of the situation. Ii is
our duty TO share with our feilow-country-
men In the south the expense and labor of
the restoring or establishing among our
soreIy tried neighbors harmonious society
with free public schools for all. public IL
braries. churches. hospitals colleges and
universities, and all the other uplifting
agencies such as we OF the north generally
enjoy.
Anxious as we are to do our part to re-
store better conditions than those uprooted,
we must keep always in mind that only
through cordial cooperation with the adj
vanced OF our own race in the south can
the results we so ardentIy desire for bath
white and black be successfully attained

If Mcintyre and Heath had been in the city court room yesterday they would have xeund a theme for q new play that would cause their ceIebrated .srzam Tree to look like n deuce spot. If they had heard the evidence or Prince Barnett, an old negro. in the John Jones grand larceny case, they would have immediately telegraphed their favorite playwright to begin writ ing 'aThe Money Tree.s
 John Jones, a negro, charged with grand larceny, is probably the only human being who has ever tried to com vince any one that money has grown on trees and vines in Montgomery county. In Beat 12, located in the ex- trerne southern part of Montgomery county, Jones came very nearly con- vincing Prince Barnett that money was actually growing on trees At least sf,ir gs what is gathered from the evil dence adduced in the criminal court bv Barnett who appeared yesterday as prosecutor of Jones who is alleged to have slipped into the residence of the old negro and taken S70o from his trunk.
 Barnett was agitated when he told the court how he was divested of his small fortune. Much of the money was held in trust by the aged negro for aaeret and fraternaI organizations in which he held responsible offices.
 According to Barnett, shortly after he missed the money. Jones came to him and confidentialIy informed the old negro that he could find his money for him. He represented to the old man that the money had nystertusly

Current business good and prospects for the fu- lure bright. Labor disputes reach ed amicable settlement in most cases, wages being advanced in numerous transporting and manufacturing indus tries. The most striking development of the week was the unprecedented output of pig iron in conjunction with large imports and advancing prices. in- dicating the greatest activity ever at tained by steel mills. Other industrial reports were scarcely less gratifying. Textile industries are active but the primary market for cotton goods has quieted down after the conclusion of initial purchases.
 There is no evidence of weakness as a result of this appdrent apathy, and the amount of business already placed gives assurance that there Is no inlme- diate prospect of accommodating stocks in the hands of producers. Tn order to meet the demand for those lines of

Police r,iapone or stolen PepeFty Not
 Called For.
 The eernf-occasional sale of old goods mat have accumulated at police head quarters, and which are recognized as the property of the Police Benevolent Association, was held yesterday after noon, and members of the police force who were present went home, after the sale, with their arms piled higher with bundles of every conceivable kind of merchandise.
 Several wagon loads. more or less. of stolen property that has been re- covered by the police, and for which no claimant appeared. were sold.
 One well known officer of the law, nerhaps with an eye to future defense, bid in a lot of i've old reyolvers. whicn had been taken from peruons arrested under 1106," the section of the City Code that prohibits the carrying of concealed weapons, for the sum of 91.O5. He announced later that he was going to selt every new policeman, as fast as they might join the force. a revolver for his use. One of the re- voivers was pawned later in the after noon for sl.T5. giving the policeman with guns the sum of seventy cents in cash, and four revolvers, of varying degrees of usefulness. which had cost him nothing.
 Another member of the force. witn an eye for bargains, priced cloth al the dry goods stores of the same tex lure and quality as that in & certain bolt that had taken ais fancy. and found that it sold at retail ct eighty i've cents a yard. Armed with this knowledege. he bia freely, and when he finally bid in the bolt containing twenty eight yards of the desired votle he paid very cheerfuliy the sum oi s4.s5, which was just s1e.45 less thar its market value
 Three bolts of fine dress goods wert i going so cheaply that Detective Es l Graham, who acted as auctioneer, bit them in himself, getting the thre' bolts, containing considerably over 1c' yards of material of fine texture fol about $s5o or $7.
 The cheap prices That prevailed served to make of the sale an affair with a double benefaction for the DO | Iicemen. who constituted almost thu only bidders at the sale Not only di( the proceeds. something over $50, @ to- swell the funds of the Police Be nevolent Association. but the individua policemen succeeded ssn getting rare bargains in needed goods for them selves and their families.
