TEACH THE NEGRO TO FARM.
Booker Washington Defends His Race
as Agricultural Workers.

NEW YORK, November 27-Indus-

upon agricultural training. as the
solution of the negro problem. was advo-
ca ted by Booker T. Washington. DIR.
Lyman Abbott DR.. Felix Adler and Prin-
cipal II. B. Frissel of Hampton Institute
yesterday afternoon at the annual meet
ing of the Armstrong Association, held at
the residence of William ]. Schieffelin
president of the association, East Goth
street.
The Armstrong Association was estab-
lished about ten years ago by personal
friends of Gen 8. c. Armstrong. the found
er of Hampton Institute. and has for its
purpose the stimulating of public interest
In the industrial education of the negro
Mr.. Washington said that the thing most
needed in settling the negro question Is to
push the matter of agricultural training
to mt the negroes to remain in the country
districts.
Our people, at their worst in the city,
are as rule at best in the country. Any
thing to get them in love with the soil
and its cultivation is the principle we are
emphasizing at Tuskegee. In this way a
definite and helpful contact with the white
farmer is being established, as instanced
in the annual visit and inspection of sew
eral hundred white farmers from farm
ers' institute near Tuskegee to the insti-
tuition"
Mr.. Washington said that at fair In
Montgomery. Ala, soon after the Atlanta
riots he had mingled among the thousands
of white people who thronged the depart
ment devoted to negro exhibits in an effort
to discover the real sentiment of southern
men with regard to the negro.
During the entire week and among
crowds of southern white people in every
walk of life-merchants, farmers, workers
l did not hear single unkind remark In
addition, the negroes in charge of exhibits
were overwhelmed with congratulations
on the splendid work shown. feel strongly
that the southern white man, deep In his
heart. is interested in the elevation Of the
negro"
Lyman Abbott said that the secret Of
Hampton. Tuskegee and other Industrial
institutions Is that they teach the negroes
to do something in the world by training
the ambition for industry.
DR.. Adler said that Hampton should not
only be link between the white and black,
but must also become a link between the
north and SOUTH II have observed a hard
ening Of feeling toward the negro in both
the north and the south. The crude senti-
ment of the north Is assimilat ting itself with
the cruder sentiment of the south. There
Is less considerate feeling toward the
negro than in abolition days, because the
poorer sentiment of the north Is descend
ing to the vehement view Of like element
In the south. On the other hand the
notable spokesman of the best southern
similar men of the north. The best results
are to be gained when three elements-the
best representatives of northern sentiment,
of southern sentiment and the negro Lead
ers-stand and work together in this ques-
tion."

Paste Jewels.

Women who formerly wore paste" Jewels
were looked at a little askance. Now so
exquisitely wrought are the best specimens
of imitation jewels, and in such artistic
designs that it takes an expert to detect
the difference. With the development Of the
jewelers. and the goldsmith's art there came
a corresponding demand for their product
by women who at one time scorned it. and
today there is no one department in the big
shops Of the city SO well patronized as that
which deals in paste" jewels Rhine
stones. which are the main gem used. are
set IN silver. gold or platinum and the
workmanship is equal to the finest Pearls
nave the luster and color of real gems and
the colored stones are duplicated with
amazing likeness to their more costly pro-
totypes. Blue stones to initiate turquoise
are being largely combined with pearls,
and the two combine well in the broad dog
collars which women affect now. Tiaras,
stomachers, corsage pins and necklaces are
gotten up in a bewildering assortment of
artistic designs, and, while they are not
cheap. compared with real gems, they can
be procured for one-fifth of the original
cost

American Laboring Glass.
Bart Kennedy in the London Mail.

Bart Kennedy in the London MAIL
When you reckon everything up, labor
Is better paid In England than 1t Is in
America. At least 40 per cent more value
is handed out by the English employer for
the same amount Of work. This Is the &C
tual fact:
The laborer Is paid about 40 per cent
moro for his labor in England than he -
in America.
There is another point. II a man IL In
jured when working in America there is
no chance for him at all. He Is not COM
pensated for his injury-or If he ts COM
pensated in any way 1t Is a thing most un-
usual In this respect American employers
are the most cruel and heartless in the
world. When navvted in the Croton tun-
mel men were being hurt and killed during
the whole Of the time through the falling
OF rock from the roof and the attitude Of
the contractors was most mean and cruel
I am not saying that English contractors
are angels In this respect, but they are q
great deal better than Americans Ena-
toward those who labor for them. Ameri-
cans have none.
America Is the best country in the world
for people who labor to stay away from
The attitude Of the American employer
toward the worker Ia the most sinister of
any employer In the world. And I might
add here that the same thing holds good
about domestic servants. A domestic ser
want gets more wages In America than in
England. but she pays dearly for this ex-
ira money. She Is forced to work far
harder than she works in England
spite boastful lies to the contrary, labor ds
better treated and better paid In England
The United States Is a good place for
workers to keep away from.

Kaiser's Hunting Feats.


The reports which were current few
days ago that the kaiser's health was again
giving cause for alarm in consequence Of
the recurrence Of throat troubles are be-
lied by his remarkable performance in the
hunting forests at Rominten yesterday
when, in the course Of q Devastating expe-
dition lasting eight hours without q break,
his majesty brought down two magnificent
stays with sixteen-pointed antlers.
The first stag, rather an old one, was shot
shortly after breakfast He was killed
principally because Of the annoyance he
caused to younger and better animals
Meantime, thoroughly high-grade stag,
with irregular sixteen pointed antlers was
reported to be roaming In another section
nf the forest.
The kaiser jumped into his swiftest motor
"ar. accompanied by Admirals Won Tirpitz
and Mueller, and q little after o'clock in
the afternoon got within range Of his prey,
and with a splendidly aimed shot through
the vitals brought the stag to earth. Ha
weighed $50 pounds.

be valued at many millions Of francs, have
been discovered at the great military camp

fessed that he purchased the -four from a
man named Oscar Cadit, living near the

of sergeants who. he averred, supplied him
with the goods Two OF them are now In
the military prison, and other non-commis-
stoned officers are to be arrested.

mind shows that, while aeronauts look

There are five indictments against Burn
ham for larceny and forgery. but yesterday
was the first time that the. names Of Platt,
Payn and Lauterbach were brought into
the case
Every talesman examined by Assistant
District Attorney Mott who Is On charge
Of the prosecution, was asked II he knew
these men. No one in the district attor-
neys office would explain the s:gnhhcanse
of this, but It was said that they might be
called as witnesses and that their testi-
mony might be Of great importance. but
1t all depended on the developments of the
trial 1t was said that whatever connection
these men had with the case came out since
the district attorneys office took up the IN
vestigation OF the charge against Burnham.
Defendant Not Jailed.
When yesterdays session was adjourned,
after eight jurors had been obtained, As
sistant District Attorney Mott moved that
was opposed by William Rand, F.. who
was Mr.. Jerome's chief of staff. He said
1t wasn't the custom to commit a defendant
to the Tombs. Justice Greenbaum said
that he thought it was the practice. Mr..
Mott said that in So per cent of the felony
cases the defendant was committed during
the trial. Mr.. Rand questioned this state
ment.
Mr.. Rand said that he would be respon-
sible personally for the appearance Of Burn
ham,. Mr.. Mott wanted to know who would
hold Mr.. Rand accountable If Burnham
should skip. There was a scurrying to see
IL BurnhamS bondsman was in court, but
he wasn't, and both Mr. Rand and Sewell

clared that they would guarantee the ap-

tory to Justice Greenbaum, who let Burn
ham go home.

Every precaution had been taken to pro-

typewriter lists had been made of the
talesmen on the special panel, and opposite
each name was a history of the Individual.
Whenever a name was called the list was
consulted. and there were whispered con-
