REFoRMAToRY AND INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL.

The prospects for the colored re-
formatory and training school for the
neglected Negro boy of the state of
Tennessee, appear brighter at present
than at any time during the history of
the state. It is known that Rev. G. B.
Taylor, the energetic pastor of the
Second Baptist Church, is giving
much of his time to build up such a
school. In fact, one is practically in
operation on a small scale. He has
been putting forth strenuous efforts
to enlarge the school to such an ex-
tent that it would carry out the origi-
nal idea and intentions. This cannot
be done unless some philanthropic aid
can be secured Mr.. Taylor has sue
ceeded so far in interesting one of the
most prominent factors before the
public in industrial education, in the
person of Prof. Booker T. Washington,
who spent last Friday in the city, and
who in company with Mr.. J. G. Napier
called with Rev. Taylor at the old
Green homestead on the Whites Creek
pike, plot of about PA acres, which
Rev. Taylor hopes to secure for his re-
formatory and industrial school. The
property is now owned by DR.. R. F.
Boyd. About one-third of it is under
cultivation, while the remaining two
thirds are heavily timbered and adapt
ed especially to grazing and dairy pur-
poses.
After the inspection of the site, the
entire party was driven to Mr.. Ma
piers country home, six miles out on
the Nolensville pike, where Mrs. J. G..
Napier served an excellent and
dainty three-course menu. This must
have made Mr. Washington's mind
run back to the early days in Virgin
ia, as this country home is built out
of the real old-fashioned logs, but is
handsomely and appropriately fur
nished. Those present at the dinner
were Prof. B. T. Washington. Rev G..
B. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. ]. G. Napier,
Mr.. and Mrs. G. NJ Langston and Mrs.
Beatrice Napier

contrary to the law, and the Commits
sion sustained her contention and
handed down its decision through
Commissioner Lane as follows:
THE expense of the small smoking
compartment in the latter (the car for
whites) accounts for nearly all the diff
ference in cost between the two cars"
Commissioner Lane holding that
the right exists under the 18th and
14th amendments of the Constitution
to separate colored and white passen-
gers as declared by the Supreme Court,
continued:
Accepting these decisions as conclu-
sive upon the constitutionality of such
laws, we turn to the consideration of
the reasonableness Of such rule when
imposed by the carrier, and this we
find to have been passed upon by this
Commission within a few months of
its organization in the case Of Council
VS.. Western & Atlantic r. R. Co..
which was decided December 8, 1887
and which held this separation may be
carried out on railroad trains with no
disadvantage to either race and with
increased comfort to both.

DR.. A. M. Townsend, who, next to
DR.. Sutton r. Griggs, is the most bril-
liant speaker in the Grand Lodge, re-
sponded to the welcome address, and
upheld his reputation as an orator of
the highest degree. His we'll turned
phrases, the skillful construction of
his figure of speech, met the apprecia-

RACE RIOT IN NEW YORK CITY.

A race riot took place July 4th in
New York City, in the section known
as Little Africa" Fully 200 Ne
groes and 300 white men, women and
children, were engaged in the battle.
A policeman was badly cut by the Ne
groes, who used knives and razors,
and his condition is critical. His
clothing was cut in ribbons. Many
Negroes were badly beaten by police
men and white rioters and were car
MED to nearby houses by their COM
rades.
A riot alarm called. number Of po-
lice to the scene, who used the ir
clubs freely and quickly put an end
to the fight
During the time of the riot it is
said that the Negro women and chill
dren hurled dynamite crackers, bricks
and various missiles on the heads of
the rioters from roofs and upper
stories Of the houses.
A white man identified a NEGRO as
one of the wounded policeman's as
sailants, and the Negro was subse-
1uently arrested. Saturday the white
man who identified the Negro was rec
ognized by a Negro and pointed out
to some Negroes, who set on him and
beat him and cut him severely. An
ambulance carried the wounded man
to the hospital. The Negroes fled.
A colored woman who poured a
bucket of water from her window on
a crowd Of youngsters who were yell
ing at the top of their voices, was the
cause of the ARRAY.

The city administration Of Nash
vile is dealing out to forty or fifty
thousand Negroes a lemon that is so
small now that it is not visible. but
will in the end loom up like a noun
tain. A few years ago there were in
this town two complete fire companies
composed of colored men, namely,
Steamer No. 4, on Woodland street,
and Chemical No. l, College street.
At the chemical company there arose
a little dissension at one time, which
was the chance that had long been
sought One of the colored men was
removed ans white an appointe
in his stead and made captain to keep
order. This blind worked nicely, and
every time a vacancy has occurred
since then in this company white
man has been appointed to assist in
keeping order, until now there are
three white men to keep one Negro
straight.
The resignation Of Mr.. Trimble only
hastens the end of the beginning.
Speaking of Mr.. Trimble's resignation,
one of the daily papers says:
"After twenty-three years in the
service of the Nashville Fire Depart
ment, James G.. Trimble, has resigned
his position as a member Of the de-
Dartment and engineer of Engine Com
pany No. 4, stationed on Woodland
street. The reason given for the res
ignation, which becomes effective
Thursday, is that Trimble has been
suffering more or less from rheuma-
tism.
The Board of Public Works pro-
NOTED Ross P. Moore, who is also a
member Of the same company. and
who has been in the service eighteen
years to the position formerly occu-
Died by Trimble. The resignation of
Trimble causes a vacancy in the de-
Dartment and Substitute George Will
Jams was appointed member of the
fire department, receiving the votes Of
Messrs Stainback and Alexander. Mr..
Handy voting for Substitute George
Watkins.
"The vacancy in the Woodland
street company will be supplied by
transferring one of the two colored
members of Chemical No. 1. This
will leave only one Negro fireman in
any of the other companies of the de-
partment."
To the close observer It can be seen
at glance that the Negro is being
served to the 1eech" treatment.
Slowly but surely he is being elm
mated His ability as f1re-flghter
is too well known to need comment,
but nevertheless the death-dealing
process continues to go on and on.
The Negroes taxes are increasing
daily; this is not considered, either.
Apparently, there is only one object
bent upon, and that is to freeze out
the Negro, regardless of whether it Is
Just or unjust

Another Decision.

again in Heard VS.. Georgia r. r.
Co., decided February Is, 1883, the
Commission held that the separation
of white and colored passengers pay
ing the same fare is not unlawful if
cars and accommodations equal in all
respects are furnished to both and the
same care and protection Of passen-
gers Is observed.
while, therefore, the reasonable
ness Of such regulation as to interstate
passenger traffic is established, it by
no means follows that carriers may
discriminate between white and col.
ored passengers in the accommoda-
lions which they furnish to each. The
principle that must govern is that the
carriers must serve equally we'll all
passengers whether white or colored
paying the same fare. Failure to do
this is discrimination and subjects
the passengers to undue and unreason-
able prejudice and disadvantage"
This decision of the Commission has
met with general comment over the
whole country especially is this true
of the South. 1t is far-reaching and
significant. The Negro does not seek
to be in social contact with the Cauca-
sian, to the contrary he does not want
to be. All he wants is his constitu-
tional rights as any other man or
woman. Only this. He is not going
to be unduly elated over the decision,
for it is but a proper expression Of the
law affecting and maintaining his
rights as a citizen.
The Negro must respectfully but
firmly insist upon fair treatment by
the railroads. While there will be
strenuous efforts to Illustrate the de-
cision, yet the Negro must be ever
alert, watching his own interest.
Eternal vigilance" one has said, "is
the price of liberty" This is true.
Therefore, the Negro must and will
contend for his rights; as it is in
cumbent upon him to do So if he
would preserve any to himself and
family, and to posterity.

pital, where his case attracted the at
the country.
Every effort was made to awaken
him without avail. Galvanic batter
les were even used in the hope that
the shock might result in what physi-
cal means had failed to accomplish.
Schpabel non-plussed them all by
sleeping on.
Awakens Insane.
Days passed into weeks and weeks
went by until almost the second
month had passed. Then he woke up,
but it was a changed man. When
Schnabel went to sleep he was a man
supposedly in the full possession of
his mental powers. When he awoke
some subtle change had transformed
him while he was lost to the world,
and it was with the eyes of an insane
person that Schnabel gazed about the
little room in which he had lain for
so many weeks.
The man partially recovered his
mind and was released from the Gus
tody of hospital authorities. He re
turned to work at the market, but
not for long. The overpowering drow.
siness affected him often. Sleep came
over him at unexpected times. He
was once more sent 10 the hospital
where his case again proved the most
interesting of all others there. Each
time that Schnabel awoke from his
death-like frances the hospital physi
clans state that his mental condition
became worse.
He grew more violent at every
awakening, until finally his case was
declared hopeless and a charge of be
ing an insane person was reluctantly
made.

Mears sprang from the bicycle and
at the risk of his neck slid down the

an infant distress, penetrated the bag
and reached his ears.
