FOR NEGRO EDUCATION.
Plea for More Money Made by Presi
dent Thirkield.

In report to the Secretary of the In
terror. President Thirkield Of Howard Uni
versity declares that in his opinion more
money should be appropriated for the
education of the negro in America.
According to figures shown In the re-
port there were LOCI students at How
ard University, all but sixty coming from
the United States.
In his appeal for a more liberal ap-
preparation. President Thirkield says:
While millions of dollars have been ap-
propriated for the education Of Indians
and the Esk.mos Of Alaska. the appropria-
tons to this university have been COM
paratively small. although it has to do
with the uplifting of 100000 of negroes
on whom have been placed the duties
and responsibilities of citizenship.
While some state institutions for ne
groes are maintained in the south. yet the
appropriations for some Of them are gen
orally limited. and mostly from the Nor
rill fund. Hence. the Importance Of this
institution. that provides for the ira ming
of the teachers. physicians. the intellec-
tual and moral and industrial leaders

that the deceased by her will having left
her house to her DAUGHTER. and subse-
quently having sold the house shortly
before her death. the devise Of the house
was revoked and the money did not stand
in its place. 1t was also contended that
the last clause Of the will, by which all
the personal effects Of the deceased were
left to the daughter under the term OF
personal effects" could not be consid-
cred as residuary clause, sufficient to

that there are but two questions to be

Old Material, in Use Since Civil War
Brought to Barracks.

The United States army engineers bat
talon steamer. Pontonier came into port
yesterday afternoon from Fort Foote
laden with doors, sashes, window frames
and other material from Fort Foote.
The stuff was landed at the wharf on
the harbor side OF the Washington bar
racks. and was taken ashore and stored
by the soldiers. This material is from
the old barracks and other frame build
ings at Fort Foote, torn down as dilapi-
dated and unsafe.
These frame buildings were erected in
the early part of the civil war. when a
garrison was put at Fort Hunt. Big
guns were mounted on the bluff overlook
ing the river to protect Washington from
Confederate attack by the Potomac.
The old post remained garrlsoned for
some little time after the war. but was
finally abandoned and placed in charge
of a retired sergeant to look afte govern
ment property. Several years ago it was
turned over to the Engineer Corps and
was used as drill ground. rifle range
and farm by the engineers battalion sta
toned here.
The material landed at this city from
Fort Foote yesterday, though nearly a
half century old, is much better than any
material that can be bought now.
