The Educated Negro.

! DR.. Booker Washington has contrib
uted to the Montgomery Journal q
long statement regarding the gradu-
ates of Tuskegee, in which he again
declares that he is unable to find a
single one who has been convicted Of
crime in either a state or q United
States court. OF such q record any
institution might be proud; it is the
best answer to the unenlightened
whites in the south who still believe
that education harms" the negro. II
he had reported rs per cent. of GRIM
inality, there would still be reason
for his carrying on his work, says the
New York Post; that he has been
able to show so clean record is more
than ever q reason why his hands
should be strengthened, north and
south. DIR. Washington is confident
that what is true of Tuskegee, is
practically true of the other indus
trial schools for his race In the
south. Certainly, Hampton has as
fine a record. To his statement, the
principal of Tuskegee has appended q
list of his graduates and ex-students
who are now residing in Montgomery
city or county. OF ITO such graduates
or students who can be traced, all are
engaged in respectable and profitable
enterprises. They represent rs pro-
fessions and trades. there being %
carpenters, 6 blacksmiths, teachers.
Ill farmers, clerks, masons and
bricklayers, etc. Most Of these ITO
own their homes and other property.

TRUCE IS DECLARED
Fight for Control Of Illinois Cen
trail Goes Over to Dec. Is.
COURTS TO SETTLE DISPUTE
Hartman Needs Shares Tied Up by
Injunction and This Point Will
Be Legally Adjusted.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Stuyvesant Fish
has secured a postponement Of the
Illinois Central stockholders meeting
until Dec. 10. The Hartman people
agreed to the adjournment, although
they had previously been anxious to
push matters as rapidly as possible.
The decision to adjourn the meeting
was the result of a conference be-
tween William Nelson Cromwell for
Mr.. Hartman and Judge E. H. Farrar
for Mr.. Fish. The overtures came
from Mr.. Cromwell, who sought out
the Fish people and declared that he
wished to come to some sort of an
agreement. He was informed by
Judge Farrar that the only agreement
that could be reached was to accept
the terms Of Mr.. Fish, which would
be the adjournment until Dec. 10 and
a decision of court IL the Hartman
people SO desired to determine the
right to vote the 2S6,731 shares Of
stock against which a temporary in
J0AASSASA was AoooSo Ny So06S ooAA OAc
week ago. After an extended confer
ence this proposal was finally agreed
to.
Prior to this agreement the proxy
committee had worked down to the
letter T. The proxies under the letter
w had previously been considered,
leaving only five letters still to be
passed upon.
Although none of those directly In
terested would give specific figures it
was understood that the total number
Of votes represented was not far from
460, 900. OF this amount Mr.. Fish, &C.
cording to excellent authority, con-
trolled about 100000 and MI. Harri-
man 100000. There were not sufh-
cient votes in the remaining letters
upon which the committee still had to
pass to overcome this lead Of Mr.. Fish
and 1t was evident that Mr.. Hartman
was beaten unless he could bring into
the contest some portion Of the 286,73
shares against which Judge Ball is"

hour In the afternoon, when she paus-
ed and peered over the brink Of the
giant Of all cliffs overlooking the Hells-
hole chasm. Once only had she ven
tured to make the perilous descent into
that gorge, but now-it was the last
place she could think of in her search
she lowered herself to the first ledge
Of the narrow way.
The descent was too difficult to be
accomplished in a few minutes. and
the sun had already dragged it's rays
far up the side of the cliffs when Ruth
reached the bed Of the chasm. The
long search, the past nights sleepless-
ness and the fears that now had COM
plete hold of her heart were telling up
on her strength. and she was compel
led to throw herself upon the grass for
q moment of rest before taking up the
search again.
But the scene Of the tragedy Of her
fears lay not far from her, and when
she came upon it. the awful spectacle
telling it's w terrible story, it struck
such horror into the girls heart that
she sank to her knees and clasped her
hands in the voiceless agony of her
soul. Sitting upon her feet, she stared
%vacantly before her, contemplating the
fixed contortion of death.
Time was passing, and still Ruth sat
motionless on the grass. The sun con-
tinued to drag it's rays higher and
higher up the face Of the rocks, but it
was not until the twilight began to
thicken that Ruth arose, still bewilder-
ed, but realizing that she must get out
Of the gorge before darkness came on.
Bending over. she laid her hand up
on the cold forehead Of old Tom. then
turned away. but she had taken only a
step when she stopped suddenly and
put out her hand.

slipped into one which silently had
been outstretched toward her.

Occasionally Joe allowed his gaze to

in which Isl he would give a signal to
his son. one that would Of course seal
his W doom quickly, but would also
put Jim on his guard. with a chance to
get a speedy revenge. But the broken
