The opening 'of the twenty fifth anniver-
sary at Tuskegee is described In the fol-
lowing manner ih a letter from visitor
from Washington:
After week of furious transforms. cold
raw days and gloomy skies, Sunday, the
first day of the anniversary week, opened
bright and smiling-a perfect spring day
which seemed a most suspicious omen.
There were no exercises In the morning but
at half-past l. the entire school was as
sembed on the parade ground-the boys,
In neat uniforms in military ranks-the
girls In equally natty uniform dresses of
dark blue cotton, trimmed with scarlet
BRAID scarlet neckties and blue straw hats
Then came the faculty, headed by Presi-
dent Washington, all-rnen and women-in
their Sunday best. The school band led
the procession from the parade ground to
the chapel to the air of the hymn Pass
Me Not o, Gentle Savior most touch
Ing and inspiring march. That procession,
and the subsequent gathering in the church
were not to be looked upon with dry eyes
or unmoved hearts. That great body of
men and women, marching with simple and
quiet dignity, through the wonderful insti-
tuition which their patient, untiring labor
and self-sacrifice has created, their faces
turned TO the western sun, was a sight to
remember. Then, when they sang fifteen
hundred or more trained voices Il was
beyond any organ ever heard. The ami
versary sermon was delivered by Bishop
Doane of Albany, and 1t was a fine one
from the text Ethiopia Is stretching out
her hand"
