BOOKER 7. WASHINGTON.

When DR.. Booker T. Washington
comes to Nashville the latter part of
this month to deliver the annual adj
dress to the graduates of the Medical,
Dental and Pharmaceutical Colleges,
it is said that he will also deliver an
address before the faculty and stu
dents of Vanderbilt University. When
DR.. Washington was in this city at the
celebration of the fortieth anniversary
of the founding of Fisk University,
he delivered an address to the congre-
cation of McKendree Church, the most
prominent white Methodist church in
the state, at the time he was invited
to deliver an address at some future
date at Vanderbilt, which he tenta-
lively accepted, 1t is now being said,
not officially, however, that he will fill
the engagement while here. This is a
signal honor for the wizard Of Tus-
kegee," as Vanderbilt is the most
prominent university in the South.

A SHOT AT WASHINGTON.

The Age in its last issue compli-
ments the editor of "The Tribune" in
issuing a daily paper, and wishes it
abundant success.
1t truly states that we cordially
agree with it, that a daily paper is
sadly needed in Washington, Baltimore
and Richmond. In indorsing the views
of The Age we think there is no city
where a daily ace paper should be is
sued than at the capital of the nation,
that could defend the race from the
many false statements that appear
daily in the papers of that city, and
it is our belief there is no city in the
country better able to support such a
paper than Washington. It's popula-
ton far surpasses that of any North
ern or Western city; it has an element
of wealth and culture that no other
city can boast. 1t has all the elements
within itself for large business en-
terprises and a clientele to support the
same that would reflect honor and
credit to our race throughout the coun-
try; yet there is no city where there is
less enterprise and business thrift
among its people than is to be found
in Washington, o is there one where
one will find more chickering's, petty
jealousies, disappointed ambitions than
can be found in that city. In place of
being a credit to our race, it is simply
the reverse. The citizens of Wash
irgton are prolific in giving advice to
their race in other cities of the coun-
try in regard to race union, race sup
port to business enterprises; but are
chary in putting the same in practice
where it concerns themselves and
where they have the greatest oppor-
tunity to do so.-Phliadelphia Tribune.

drels in this country that pursue col.
ored women like wolves pursue any
thing in sight to satisfy their hunger.
1t is not the colored man or the col
ored woman who is pursuing and de-
vouring the white race. 1t is the
white man who wont let Il women
alone. The Bee sees it daily. Many
of Il colored women are not per-
mitted to walk upon the public streets.
They are being pursued and annoyed
daily. Some time ago a certain white
professional man advertised for a col
ored girl, and when she presented her
self she was asked by the brute If
she wouldn't be his friend; that "she
was just the kind of a girl that he
wanted" And when he attempted to
place his arms around her she i'm
mediately resented the insult. This is
only n instance of the many that oc-
cur. 1t is not the white woman who
needs protection, but our innocent col
ored girls who are continually being
pursued by white men.

INCARCERATION.

The bill Of Representative Simms
Of Tennessee was a document that
would make a clown laugh. Will
the gentleman kindly furnish The Bee
the number of colored men and women
in his state who have white fathers?
The Bee is Of the opinion that the
bastardy in Tennessee will out number
the colored population in the District
of Columbia. Will the gentleman
who introduced that bill kindly ex-
plain why there are so many colored
people in the South with white ia
Tiers? Doesn't he believe that it
would be a great deal better If he
would change the character of his bill
and apply the it first to Tennessee his
own state, and after he has cleaned
up the refuse in his own state, then
apply the cleaning machine to other
sections of the South? 1t is utterly
impossible for the colored people to
keep intact the purity Of their race

TO RAISE OUR MANHOOD.
All men of Negro blood, even the
most depraved are painfully aware of
the unfortunate condition of the race
in many respects in the United States,
nay, even the world. Every man who
desires the ucces of the race, desires
to do something to improve its condi-
ton. What shall that something be?
This is the rub. Some say, the sal
walton Of the race depends on getting
wealth, some say it depends on get
ting intelligence; some on getting an
industrial education; some on getting
a higher education; but to our mind,
it's salvation depends largely on i'm
proving the moral condition of the
race combined with intelligence, in
dustry, and finance. The moral Ne
gro has the combined moral support
Of the world at his back while the
immoral Negro has the world against
him. The charge that our race is
largely immoral is the strong point
against us by our enemies. This
charge of immortality is a basis upon
which many of the whites try to justi-
fly themselves in lynching for muir
ders, for denial of civil rights, and for
the denial Of our political rights.
This is the adherence and detestation
il which the race is held. We will adj
NIT that nine-tenths of the charges al
legged against the race are false; yet
they are made and believed by many,
true or not; they have their effect
in the work of u degradation. This
then, is the point upon which all our
men can agree and upon which, all
can work. Each individual can by
thought, improve his morals and can
work for the improvement of the NOR
ais of others.-The Richmond (Va.)
Reformer.

"The Dedicated Life"
Boston Transcript.

The Dedicated Life is the latest-its
predecessors having been the Simple
Life and the Strenuous Life" 1t is
commended by no less practical and I'M
sentimental a mind than the of Mr.. Hal
dane, secretary of state for war in the
Calnpbell-Bannerman ministry. It. makes
its appearance in the address which he de-
livered recently as lord rector to- the stu
dents of the University OF Edinburgh. and
which was there pronounced by Mr.. Bal
four himself, a great DISCOURSE" Mr..
Haldane in this address answers the time-
honored questions, What is life? What is
the measure of success?" by showing that
it is the dedication. the selecting OF an
ideal, the concentrating upon that, the
sticking to 1T, whether successful or un-
successful-especially, indeed, if unsuc-
cessful-that is the noblest use to which a
life can be put. The test is not success
or failure, she reaching of some definite
point: it is the striving itself, or rather the
quality of the striving, the aiming in con-
~tinually higher and higher reach towards
the ideal, the struggling instead of yield
ing. that is manhood's highest expression.
This is supported by Leasing, who de-
clared that We're God to offer him the
truth on one hand and the search on the
other, he would choose the search. Rob-
ert Browning delivered powerfully, again
and again, this great message in some OF
his most characteristic poems.

But women arc not the only hypnotizcrs.
according to the experience of the secret

the young man may be made drunken with
the music OF a womantS voice, and mad
dened with the low, sweet melody of silken
skirts. frequently the Gretna Green has
witnessed girls on the arms of blushins

dreamy land of lotus-eaters. They had
drifted nearer and nearer, like moths re-
volving in narrowing circles around an in
candescent light until they found them
selves alone with the young man and the
judge of Dakota county.
Judge Snooths the Way.
And the city folks who go there for
quickest and best" service are not UNI
like those who drive in from the rural
district. Hand in hand the brides and
grooms walk down the path to the home of
Judge Eimers, the groom hanging on to his
bride like a farmer to his Waterbury in
Il camp meeting crowd. Few have failed
to got through the simple used
by the judge of Gretna Green without a
falter, as he has a way of making 1t as
easy as possible, but now and then the
judge has had experiences, where the bride
hesitated, and almost ran out of the house.

1t is then that the kindly faced Judge
comes to the rescue, and helps the groom
decide whether he has drawn She first

justice of the peace.
But the secret marriage is sometimes the
happiest, and is usually just as happy as
any marriage, since the first enc was per

tastic capers before high heaven for the

as ever from the solution of it. Who
were these people? What was their
aim? How had they managed to win
Miss Holiday over TO their side; to
persuade her to accompany them; to
flee from her friends-nbove ali, from
our junior partner? How had they
caused her change of attitude toward
him? Or had they really abducted her?

sheer confusion, I put down my pipe,
turned out the light, went to bed.
