this city young men whose employers tell
me they have no better in service My
girls are also doing well helping in all forms
of work: We have five boys who are rail-
way mail clerks. So you see that our efforts
have not been in vain.
We organized in 1894 and I do not think
that so far we have had six students who
have proven worthless. At the present time
three girls occupy each room. DIR. Hale
was the first one to commend me for found
ing the school and he had faith. Short of
funds, some said would not be able to
secure teacher who could dc more than
one thing well, but this was dsproved.
Expenses Incurred.
"All of our funds must come from friends.
When we began we bought our first farm
for $3.50. l had $50. and a friend said he
would loan me $40 additional so as to allow
me to make the first payment on the place.
Then. with the assistance of friends in
Boston. we later paid s1,4OO more upon the
property and given time to raise the bal
ance of the money. Miss Emily How
land called one day and said that T could
call my people together and begin building
When this was told Gen. Mussey he sent us
tools. and / believe he would have helped
us much more had he lived. Later l went
to New York to raise money to work the
stone quarries on the place and while |
was there what should / receive but a tel-~
egram saying that Rowland Hall was
thing of the past. as the building had
tne night DeIOre. naturally that
made me respondent, and for a time it
seemed as though l would have to abandon
my plans. But the good people of Manassas
and the adjoining country helped us. and
before a few days elapsed we had tenn
porary building, which was occupied until
the school term came to end in May.
Our expenses are 81, 900 per year The bat
tie is going on today in the Bull Ran dis
trict as 1t did forty years ago. Then it was
of steel and iron, while today it is an effort
to save men and women for future lives of
usefulness Many know of Tuskegee in the
southern black belt but few know about
Manassas. We will have to raise $4,000
within thefnext few months. and we hope
you will do all you can to aid in the effort
to continue the school. II you know some
one who is friendly to our cause will you
not ask them to help in the work? Black
people are all right If you have them trav-
cling in the right road. We ask you to
give them chance"
When Miss Dean had concluded her re-
marks DR.. Hale made a short address re-
counting the value of the work being done
ent do his or her part to raise money for
the institution. He said that, for one. he
was going to ask a number of his friends
to contribute 500 each to the school, and
said that the money needed would be raised
within a short, time If each would take hold
and do his best.
During the afternoon "Suwanee River
and several other southern melodies were
sung by quartet from the Armstrong

SKETCH OF CHIEFTAIN'S CAREER

One hundred years ago at historic STRAIT
ford. in Westmoreland county, Va, Robert
Edward Lee, later one of the greatest SOL
diers the world has ever known, was born.
The centennial anniversary oe the event
is being celebrated today, north and south.
In all of the cities of the southland, which
he loved with a devotion that is rarely
equaled as well as in the cities of the
north, honor is being paid to his memory.
Here. in the capital city of the nation, all
of the southern societies will attend the
meeting to be held in the ball room of the
New Willard this evening. 1t was origi-
nally intended to hold services in one of
the local churches in the morning, but 1t
was later decided that every individual in
terested should do his or her best to make
the evening meeting the great success that
1t is expected to be.
The committee on arrangements consists
of the following: Mrs. Ralph Walsh rep
resenting the District of Columbia division
of the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy; Mr.. Hilary A. Herbert Chief JUS
tice Seth Shepard. Judge Charles B. Howry,
Mr.. William A. Gordon, Rev. Randolph H.

BILL Is DISAPPROVED
PROVISION FOR ERECTION OF
NEUROLOGICAL HOSPITAL.
Commissioners in Favor of Such an
Institution, but More Money
is Needed.

The bill recently introduced in the House
which provides for an appropriation of
$500 600 for the complete construction and
furnishing of a neurological hospital for
the care and treatment of INDECENT insane
patients does not meet with the approval
of the District Commissioners. However,
that does not signify that they are not in
favor of such hospital, as they state that
there is urgent need for one, but the BILL
which is known as H. r. 20265, and was
introduced by Representative Clark of
Florida, does not carry with it a sufficient
amount of money to properly establish and
maintain such an institution as is wanted
by the District.
A report the INDECENT insane conditions
in the District is expected by the Commits
sion ers from the district board of chart
ties and special committee of three ply
sicianS who have made thorough nveSti-
cation, and it Is said that certain recon-
mendations will be made in the report re-
garding the establishment of hospital for
the care of that class of patients. and in
that event the Commissioners views at
present will be somewhat modified.
Views Of Commissioners.
The bill. as has been stated, proposes an
appropriation of $500, coo for the establish
ment of the institution. In their report to-
day to the District committee of the House
the Commissioners stated: The number of
INDECENT insane in the Government Hospital
for the Insane from the District of Column
bia is at present about 300. At very low
estimate it would cost at least 81 900 per
bed to provide accommodations for these
patients, or 81 100000. to say nothing of fur
niture and equipment. 1t would cost al
