The colored teachers in the public

compelled to be in their buildings be-
tween half-past eight and quarter of
nine o'clock. They teach all day, and
many of them have no time 10 eat lunch
because they either must get out some
information for the supervising prin-
cipals or the assistant superintendent,
who knows nothing about our public
school system After school the teacher
must attend a meeting called BY the SUI
perintendcnt They must attend these
meetings before they go home. They re-
main in the meetings until five or six
o'clock pm. They are very much worn
ont after they arrive at home They
eat. Many of them must eat a cold
dinner, and dinner and supper combined.
They hardly have time TO eat decent
meal There is no time for rest, but they
must prepare to attend a lecture for
which they have been compelled to pur-
chase a ticket to the amount of ST. so.
Just think of it! They must go and
listen to some lecturer who has hobby
or some subject in which he alone is
interested, and not the teacher

MCFARLAND SPEAKS


At the breaking Of the dirt Of the
Colored Young Mems Christian ssocia-
ton, Thirteenth and T streets, last week,
Commissioner Fl. B. Macfarlaud said in
part as follows:
The community is TO be congratulat-
ed upon this event. It is of importance
to every man, woman and child in the
District Of Columbia, for it makes dis
tinctively for best citizenship, because
it makes for righteousness. What these
colored men have done unaided TO meet
the offer of $500 by raising $4,000 or
$1,000 more than was required, is the
most notable thing Of its kind ever done
by colored men anywhere. 1t shows
what fine colored citizens We have. Il
shows that they are proud of their race
and glad to help it stand on its feet;
and more, to advance TO greater prog
ress. 1t will help the race everywhere,
for everywhere it will win as here, re-
spect and regard. 1t is appropriate that
the great international convention OF the
Young Mems Christian Association
should close with this incident. for It
will appeal to the brotherhood
throughout the world and stir them 10
greater and more Jealous efforts. As
president of the last international Con-
vention at Buffalo, three years ago, I
saw as in a glance the great achieve
ments Of the associations all over the
earth, but nothing then or since has inn
pressed me more than what these men of
Washington have done for the uplifting
of their people, for the honor of the
National Capital, and to the glory of
God"

Some Contributions to Religious Pur- poses, But Churches Don't Need Ad-s5o, ,ooo,o to New
 York City.

New York. March 1.-The Herald will say tomorrow that according to mem- Der of John D. Rockefeller Jr's Bible class, and who is also q personal friend Of John D. Rockefeller, and in a position To know of his affairs, the latter proposes to make 6 princely gift to New York City. It will amount to at least $50 ,0O0, coo. It will be partly charitable and partly ed- ucatonal
 The Herald will add:
 This man said that when Mir. Rocke- feller was conferring with his son at Lakewood, N. J.. fortnight ago, the meeting was not for the purpose of dis cussing any immediate gift, but was on the subject of Mir. Rockefellers will, which document the oil king was then completing with the aid of his son and his lawyers
 It was said that the document will as- tonish the world when it is made public. It will, it is declared, donate no less than $250,o00,O00 for charitable and educational purposes, and it will be so bestowed that the benefit therefrom will almost be per petual
 ''The manner in which these bequests will be bestowed Is said to be mainly for educational and charitable purposes. While there are some contributions for re- lgious purposes, 1t is stated that MT. Rockefeller does not think it necessary to extend any great aid to churches. To his manner of thinking the churches are growing stronger and stronger, and there Is no danger that they win ever need any great financial assistance from any one man
 Mir, Rockefeller, however is said to be much in favor of the growth of edu- he has done much in his will. He be lieVes that educa tioa will rlake this coun. try the greatest in the world, and that every cent contributed toward that ob- ject will help to make better citizens and better Christians.
 AS to the charitable bequests it was said some time ago MT. Rockefeller had in mind building model tenements for the poor, such as have been erected in some European cties.'
 In his will, the IIerslds informant states Mir Rockefeller has provided these three things:
 Requests for religious purposes. though not of large sums; liberal bequests for education. and what are described as prncely bequests for char table purposes. II is said there is scarcely q man. woman or child that will not benefit in some way by these prospective donations.

WORST WEEK ON THE
 BOURSE IN 30 YEARS
IS THE VERDICT OF FINANCIERS IN SUMMING UP BREAKS IN STOCK MARkET-AFFEcT BY WALL STREET.

Berlin, March 17.--"The worst week the bourse has had in thirty years" is the verdict of one of the financial reviewers in summing up last weeks movements on the stock market. The events in Wall street made a profound impression in Germany and were reinforced by the declaration in the Deutsch banks by a re- port issued early in the week that world boom could not last through the night owing to the stringency of money. This utterance played great role in the weeks market.
 While the fall in prices in Wall street brought heavy, losses to German holders of American securities. there was re- newed buying for German account brought bout by the low prices reported by the cables. Many orders were sent to New York and London after the low prices were reached, the payments for these and the transfers of American bal ances to London causing a heavy demand for London exchange and bringing the export of gold apparently nearer. There Is much apprehension manifested here lest New York begin the week by impor- tation of gold from England A very slight rise in the discount rate renders an advance in the Reichs banks not inn probab able
