Negro women as they walked up the
broad marble stairs to Memorial hall
White professional men sat alongside
cOlored men in coarse garments, with
gnarled hands soiled by labor. Both
classes joined in spontaneous applause
when the noted economist stepped on
the platform. the whites expressing
their admiration for the wonderful
struggle the man has made, and the
Negroes their appreciation for his up
lifting work in their behalf.

MISSION OF Gypsy SMITH.

mloOlON OT OlE > D-il L IL
Washignton, Nov. 3, 1903.
Editor of the Bee:
The wonderful mission OF "Gipsy
Smith, which has just closed in Con
vetion Hall, was planned and execut-
ed in the name Of God and Humanity.
The invitation was not on racial lines,
but to every man and woman of our
city who wanted to lead better life,
and all classes. cOlors, and conditions
were represented and welcomed at
every service The Spirit OF Christ
was there, and so all-pervasive that
the spirit of caste was banished, and
we met, as was meet, on the common
platform of the FatherhOOd of God,
and the Brotherhood of Man. White
and colored worshipped together, and
as matter of course, without excit-
ing notice or comment.
One of my most pleasant recOllce-
tions, of this remarkable mission, IS
the greeting l got from "a brother
in black" who sat just behind me on
two occasions. Although humble and
poorly clad, he awoke the spirit Of
Christian cOmradeship with an elo-
quence which bespoke a heart ahame
with the love of the Crucihed One.
A white soul shone through his
dark skin. and he was an inspiration
to all who were privileged to meet
him. No color line there.
In view of the fact that hundreds
of colOred people-all who cared to
come and could get in-attended
every one of these meetings, and were
accorded the courtesy due to and from
all alike. was surprised to read the
slur upon them contained in the last
issue of the Bee. Inquire of others
who were there, and when you are
satisfied, let us have the amende hon
orable, which | am sure your sense of
fairness will prompt you to make.
Respectfully yours,

public schools entered the room of a
certain male principal and gravely
criticised an example that he, the
principal had upon the board. The
supervising principal informed the
principal that his example was all
wrong. The principal, who is one of
the brightest in the schools, and should
no doubt, be filling the position that
is held by his critic, insisted that the
example was right and so stated It
before a crowded school of pupils.

were led from the wilds of Africa
and suddenly dropped into the very
highest type of civilization. "Pray
don't measure us by your civilization
and then kick us down because we
don't measure up to requirements. If
we were measured by certain Asiatic
civilizations the comparison would not
be so unfair, Just remember that in
the race to come abreast with the
white man, history shows there is no
Other ahead of the Negro"
Near the close of his address the
speaker inspired by love for his peo-
pie and the apparent justice of his
plea, dramatically called upon the au-
dience to remember that one man
can't keep another down in the ditch
without being in the ditch himself.
He climaxed the plea by announcing
that so long as any one portion of the
country is submerged, other classes
will, to a certain extent, be the under
dog with them, and that the Negro
will bring many up with him when
his race is finally abreast of the white
man.
Exemplar of Force of Character.
DR. Washington's physique, his
face, head and gestures, typify the
indomitable strength that carried him
from a position of abject slavery to a
commanding position in the nation as
missionary, looked to by Negroes as
a Moses of their race. The phrenOl-,
ogist at glance can see the lines
that make him successful president
of Tuskeegee institute, the largest
colored school in America. Although
born under conditions that would
make the ordinary man a humble citi-
zen, he is today accepted as a power
among leading white educators.
Dr. Washington walked on the
stage at Memorial hall with a firm
confident tread, as one sure of his
ground. His shoulders are broad and
his six feet of stature gives him
the strength and poise to command
respect. His hair is close cut and
gives him the aspect of a war dog
with all its tenacious fighting spirit.
The eyes, however, gleam with kind
illness and they temper the appearance
of the latent fighting forces. The
mans forehead is broad, high and
shapely, with enough space to contain
a plentiful supply Of reasoning power.
His lips are thin, drawn tight acrosss
his molars. They show strength of
character. His jaw has the frmneSs
of one who has the courage to stand
0y his convictions.

Barnett Puts
Up $1,000

j. c. Barnett. of the White
Tree Saloon at Smithfeld, is
about the nerviest booster there
is in the county. John thinks a
whole lot of Smithfield, in that
he wants to see his town grow,
and he knows that town grows
by having lots Of people come
there. He is one of those backing
the Smithfield Horse Show, and
he exhibited no little interest in
the recent Danford- Hamp boxing
match. His latest is to offer
$1,000 for the Danford-lIamp
match on July 4th. Barnett
doesn't expect to get his money
back. but he does want to keep
the crowds coming to Smithfield
and he proposes to whoop things
up in Il way that will bring them
there. Though he is a saloon
man, John is one of those great
big open-hearted fellows who
cares naught for money where
his interests and desires are con-
cerned. His saloon is said to be
one of the most orderly and
clearly in the county and he is
ever found ready to subscribe to
anything where his town is con-
cerned. Some of the Cache boys
are hoping that he will land the
fight he is after.

dividuality, finds that she can no
longer live with her husband and gets
a divorce. She retires to Madeira to
bring up her children and write books
busting with twentieth century rot
about women. After many years she
returns to England with her three chill

snippy, who has inherited all her
mothers ideas. The other two are
Philip and Dolly, two irrepressibles

nothing OF their father and the play is
