WOULD CHANGE
LOCATION Of THE
States prison

There is considerable talk among
those who claim to be posted, of an
appropriation to be asked for in a
sum sufficient for the purchase of the
Stewart institute and move the
prison to that place. 1t is claimed
to be a more ideal situation, having
several hundred acres of land under
cultivation with good water supply
and could be made partially self
supporting. Il is claimed that sew
eral of the buildings there could be
used to advantage and that the stone
for the walls could be taken out at
the present prison site and shipped
to the Stewart institute at nominal
cost. To do much more building at
the present prison will mean a large
amount of excavation and an ex-
pense that wouid in great measure
aid in the refitting of the Indian
schools.

HOWARD'S INFLUENCE UNI

The Fair Play" sprightly jour
nal published at Parkersburg, West
Virginia, by Mr.. B. S. Jackson, a
graduate of the law department of
Howard University, Says:
Howard University has just clos
ed banner year. She is easily the
greatest Negro University in the
world, and takes her rank among the
best schools in the country. A de-
gree from Howard is recognized by
Cornell, Michigan, Yale, PennsyI-
yania and Harvard. She has ten de-
partments, more than a thousand stu
dents, and a small army of profes
sors and instructors. Almost every
Negro of any prominence has at
some time been student of How
ard and has felt her refining Unfit
ences. A partial list follows of the
States and countries represented in
her student-body: every State IN the
Union, Africa, Greece, West Indies,
Hawaii, China, Japan, Korea, and
England"
We may add, the prestige this mag
nifcent school enjoys today is due in
the largest measure to the industry,
tact, broad -gauged policies and lofty
Christian spirit of her universally
popular president, DR.. Wilbur Pat
terson Thirkield. He came at a cru
cial period in the life of the univer-
sity, and his consecrated labors have
been crowned with a success that has

WILL TAFT BE NOMINATED? !?
From The Advocate, Portland, Ore.
The Chicago Conservator, New
York Age, Washington Bee, and
some more of the subsidized race
journals have come to the conclusion
that Taft will be nominated on the
first ballot, and that it is simply ri
diculous to assume anything to the
contrary. They pretend to be so
cOck-sure of their contention that
they are advising their brother Afro
American delegates to the National
Convention that for them to vote
for any other candidate for the pres
idency would be political suicide, to
say the least, and that the part of
wisdom is for all to join hands and
make the nomination of Mr.. Taft
unanimous. This same kind of talk
was INDUCED in in 1880 when 3o4
delegates from States whose electo-
raj votes were essential to the Re-
publican party's success. declared
with all the vigor that they could
command that Grant would be nom
mated, and that it was folly to vote
against him. This talk was made
again in 1892, when we were told
that Benjamin Harrison would be
nominated with ease, and that it was
folly to vote against him. The Ohio
delegation stood by Mckinley, but
Harrison was nominated, but was de-
feated. It's an awfully bad thing for
the Administration to force the nom
ination of their candidate upon the
people when they do not want him.
This is exactly the case of Mr.. Taft.

MacCorry Will Lecture at the
Grand Next Wednes>
day Evening.

The Rev. Fr. MacCorry, the eminent
Paulist missionary and lecturer, of
New York, needs no words OF intro
cudtion to the American public. His
reputation is easily national, his sur
passing elouuence having crowded to
overflowing the largest church edi-
fees and auditoriums across the coun-
try The STORY Beautiful" is un-
uuestionably the highest reach of
his artistic and oratorical ability, and
has been produced at times on con-
secutive nights throughout an entire
week in the same auditoriums to ever
increasing audiences fact, we
think, somewhat unique on the lecture
platform today-and which speaks
more eloquently than any words of
ours of the intrinsic merits of both
the man and his work.
The story beautiful should not be
confounded with stereopticon or illus
trated or moving picture exhibitions
as generally understood 1t is quite
| unlike anything attempted on the
American platform. An immense
| screen of white canvas, surrounded by
a massive gold Florentine frame is
used for the projection. The paintings
| and effects dissolve on and off the
canvas with singular impressiveness.
The lecturer occupies q position in
front of a curtain of crushed black
velvet and is illuminated by halo
scft moonlight in its effect-his every
gesture and facial expression being
/ distinctly visible. The music blends
at times with the speakers language
Ia sub-tone to his descriptions--ol
bursts in as the apex of climax, car
rying the conception which the lee
/ turer is trying at the moment to con
vey to altitude quite beyond the posi-
bility of human speech.
This lecture is given in connection
with musical program, which will be
under the direction of Mr.. James
Swirles. Mrs. F. P. Holman will bt
the accompanist.

The course of instruction does not

a course of lectures is heard dealing
with consular obligations and require
