force of clerks, stenographers nd spe-
cial agents are kept busy in Room 22o
Of the Treasury building, taking care
OF the correspondence, directing the
movements of the field agents, and ar
ranging for the larger exhibits, for
which contracts are being signed daily.
The reports coming in from the field,
covering the entire country, are said to
be very satisfactory, and the managers
claim that the indications point to an
exhibit that will faithfully reflect the
progress and achievements of the col
ored race in America from the landing
of the first boatload of African slaves to
the present day One of the most str1k-
ing exhibits will be a series of model
groups, with appropriate scenic acces-
sories, Illustrating in chronological Or
der the various stages of this racial
history. The work on this artistic ere
alton is in the hands of Miss Meta Vaux
Warrick, a young colored sculptress Of
Philadelphia, who is a graduate of the
Drexel School of Fine Arts, and has had
special training in the art institutes of
Paris, France.
Mr.. Thomas J. Galloway, chairman
of the executive committee, has just re-
tnurned from the Southern field, and he
states that the educational exhibit from
the several colored schools of the South,
notably Tuskegee, Hampton, Fisk, Liv-
ingstone, Normal and many others, win
make elaborate displays of their work.
In few days the committee expects
to transfer the scene of its operations
to Norfolk, where the actual work of
installing the exhibits in the $4,000 Ne
gro Building, now nearing completion.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL
A GOOD CHANGE

The Bee, as well as the people, will
endorse the new method of examing
Normal School graduates. The Colored
Normal School has been a bone of con-
tention for. number of years, and DIR.
Chancellor is to be congratulated for
suggesting to the Board of Education
a change in the examination methods of
the Normal School The appointment of
another head of the Normal School, col
ored, would also meet the approval of
the people. For years the parents of
children have complained against the
Colored Normal School. and, strange to
say, the pupils could never understand
why many of them would leave the
High School at the head of their classes
and when they left the Normal School
they were at the end. About four years
ago, or probably longer than that. DR..
George H. Richardson, then a member
of the Board of Education, introduced
a resolution in the Board meeting, which
was adopted, allowing certain High
School graduates who had made a GER
tain percentage to enter the Normal
School While reforms are going on il
IS hoped that it will go in the direction
of the Colored Normal School.

PHILADELPHIA WINS RHODES
SCHOLARSHIP IN FIELD OF
FIFTY.

Philadelphia, Pa, March II, 1907
The Rhodes scholarship of the State of
Pennsylvania has this year been award
ed to a coloTed man. He is Alain lie
Roy Locke, 7I2 South Twelfth street,
this city, a senior at Harvard Univer-
sity.
In the provisions of the will of the
late Cecil Rhodes it is stated that color
or religion shall make no difference in
the selection of the candidate, and Locke
was chosen on his merits There were
FIVE who passed the examinations which
were held at Lafayette College on the
18TH and 18th of January, and of these
Locke was deemed the best fitted to re-
ceiVe the award.
The scholarship provides TOT a three
years course at Oxford University, its
value being $500 a year.
Locke will be the first colored man
to receive one of the American Rhodes
scholarships.
The new Rhodes scholar is twenty
one years old. H was born in this city
and was educated here. He entered
Harvard University in the fall of 1904.
From Harvard he will be graduated
next June, after having completed the
regular four years course in but three
years.
The qualifying examinations were TAX
en- by some fifty candidates. To be eli
gible for the examinations the candi-
dates are required to have reached. be-
fore going into residence, at least the
end of their sophomore year at rec
ognized degree-granting university or
college.
The examinations are severe test,
the candidates knowledge of arithmetic,
algebra, geometry, Greek and Latin be-
ing learned. Five of the candidates pass.
ed the last examination.
From these FIVE it was for the selec-
ton committee to decide who should
receive the. scholarship. The candidates
appeared before the committee, and their
personal qualifications were injured in
to. Character and manliness are as i'm
portant as cholarship, and a preference
is given to those who are popular with
their fellow-Students and have taken an
active part in athletic sports.
1t was the decision of the committee
that Mr.. Locke was the best fitted to
receive the scholarship.

ATTORNEY COBB.

The address of Attorney Cobb in the
Cardozo case before the Board of Edu-
cation last Friday evening, March 8, was
eloquent and pointed. He made strong
fight for his client, and although he lost
he should be complimented. Attorney
Cobb has last, and he has served his
client as we'll as anyone could. He
cannot win, and the advice of The Bee
is that he is in a lost cause.

GALBRAITH CHURCH.

The members and friends of Galbraith
A. NJ. E. Zion Church are putting forth
every effort to entertain the Confer
ence which will be at their church in
May. Every club of the church has some
kind of method of raising the means to
care for the Conference. The Wilber-
force Club, Mrs. Mary Shaw, president,
who is known by all the members of
the church as the money-getter, has not
made known her plans as yet. The Miz-
pah Club, Miss S. J. Janifer, president,
the next in line of club work, is still
having its usual meeting and is making
some progress. The Ladies Relief Club,
Miss Grace Addison, president, is giving
entertainments every week and is going
to make an excellent showing when it
makes its final report. This club is
much smaller than any and has always
made a god report. The Mems Club is
going to carpe the church. This is a
remarkable thing for the men to do in
Galbarith, for they have always rem
dered their assistance with the female
clubs and worked very pleasingly in that
way; but they have decided since DR..
S. L. Corrothers has been there to work
for themselves and have undertaken the
heaviest part 70 the debt.
The Sunday school has decided to
make the church a handsome present.
DR.. S. L. Corrothers has increased his
congregation in such a manner that there
is scarcely any service that he does not
have a large attendance. More pride IS
taken by the members of the church in
coming out Sunday mornings than usu-
al. and it is at the morning services,
which DR.. Corrothers is at his best, that
the congregation seems to appreciate
him.
You who know Galbraith Church best
can observe the remarkable change IN
the church since DR.. S. L. Corrothers
has been there.
DR.. S. L. Corrothers gave notice last
| Sunday that he would preach a series
of sermons beginning March II, 1907.
Miss NJ. Liggons is detained home on
account of her father being sick ant
confined to his room,
Prof. w. c. Payne, of Mcinley In

BANK.
The Savings Bank of the Grand
Fountain is the leading Negro Bank in
the country. Urge yoYr members to
make deposit in the bank, if they can
sent but 100 at a time. Mr.. Hill, the
cashier, has in hand large number of
small banks for the members to use at
their homes. He has sent quite num-
Der to the chiefs of the different divi-
sions, to be distributed among the men,
bers.
The plan is this: Each member makes
a deposit of $I.oo and gels a bank. They
take this bank home and at every con-
venient opportunity put all the spare
money in it they can. By this means
they will get in the habit of saving.
When they get the bank full they can
take it to the chief of the division or
send it to the cashier of the bank, and
he will open it and count the contents.
It gives one business standing to have
a bank account. Talk this up to your
members.

est of the public in your work; CO.

to read The Reformer, which they can
get for $I.oo a year.

New York, N, Y.-By a concerted plan, 300 Italian freighthandlers, armed with powders, cotton hooks, knives and pistols. charged the pier of the Italian line at the foot of West Thirty-fourth street The invaders overpowered two policemen, exchanged pistol shots with officers of liner, beat 150 strjke-breakers, destroyed some freight, tried to set fire to the steamer Campania. and fought squad of reserves for ten minutes. It was the most desperate and most costly riot that has yet marked the great strike of the 30,000 longshoremen.
 The attack came when Dominick Pace and Dominick Deicati, foreme en for Brady & Coil, boss stevedores. opened the big iron doors at the West street end of the pier to admit a caravan of loaded trucks. Inside 150 Siciliians, who had been imported from Philadelphia, were trying to get the consignments out of the Campania and the City of Turin
 Most of the rioters raced down the piSi oheu, stidiSut loI tue gang pidhhS of the Campania. From the hold & babble of frightened shrieks was al ready issuing. The strikebreakers had heard them coming, and were be ginning to call on the saints and the police for protection.
 Perhaps a tisird of the invaders de- tached themselves from the main body and proceeded to do what damage they could. They ripped open bales of raisins, smashed crates of lemons and tore boxes and barrels apart, stufing their pockets with what edibles they could carry and trampling the rest un- der foot
