Washington said. gave hope Of more rapid
progress in the uplift of his race than the
accomplishments of the past.
"Bad whisky, mixed with bad white men
and bad negroes" he blamed for the crimes
and lynchlngs Of the south.
Mr.. Washington was introduced to his
audience by Judge Howard Kennedy, pres
ident OF the University of Omaha, who took
occasion to remark that this constituted
the first public recognition of his newly
founded institution. Bishop Abraham Grant

African Methodist Episcopal church, ac-
c~ompanied Mr.. Washington.
Banquet I'm the Evening.
Omaha was the toast responded to by
Booker T. Washington at a banquet ten
dered him and Bishop Abraham Grant in
the parlors Of st. Johns African Methodist
Episcopal church in the evening by the
Negro Business league Of Omaha. Mr..
Washington's address was short and to
the point, with an occasional touch Of
humor. The most salient feature Of his
toast was an appeal to the business men
Of Omaha to promote the cause of the
negro race.

WASHINGTON ELATED AT GIFT

Sage of TUskeEee Happy OveF $780,
o Left by J. s. Kennedy.
When Booker T. Washington awoke at
Lincoln yesterday he was handed a mes
sage by his private secretary containing
the intelligence that the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial Institute had been left a
fortune Of 100000 by John Stewart Ken
nedy, who died In New York last Sunday
with whooping cough.
Mr.. Washington always appears cheerful
and happy. When he reached the Rome
hotel shortly after noon. yesterday he said
this was one OF the happiest lays of his
life and with a hin OF irony in his tone
he said:
Il shall never forget Omaha, My day in
Omaha is certainly one that will linger long
In my memory"
This magnificent gift from a man who
was perhaps little known as one of the
wealthy men Of the country is a big sur
prise TO me-" continued Mr.. Washington.
l sort Of expected O little surprise, but
this one is surely a big one. During the
last ten years Mr.. Kennedy has sent us
an annual gift OF 1900 for running ex-
penses, but we did not anticipate such a
munificent sum at his death. The money
will be placed in our fund
at Tuskegee unless otherwise specified in
the will OF our b~enefactor."
Mr.. Washington's present trip through
the west was arranged primarily to adver-
tise the Industrial institute at Tuskegee
and to arouse the colored people to the
Importance of agriculture as a means Of
earning a livelihood.
I'VE have a great institute at Tuskegee,"
concluded the noted colored man, but we
need funds. 1t takes 10000 annually to
pay our expenses, Our endowment means
an income OF 100000 each year, so the
balance must be secured from other
sources.

sized the Importance to the state of Couil-
lard's testimony. The question brought out
the statement that the alleged murderess
had ordered that their watchdog be re-
moved from the house on the night preced-
ing the murder. She explained her desire
to get rid Of the animal, the witness said,
on the ground that 1t was III smelling and
also sometimes damaged the pictures in
her husbands studio.
Couillard was followed on the stand by
police witnesses.
During the afternoon much contradictory
testimony was given regarding how
Madame Steinheil was bound, the general
appearance OF things in the household on
the morning after the crime was COM
mitted and also as to whether the artist
knew Of his wife's intrigues with other
men.

Bouneaud, a brother-in-law of Steinheil,
testified that the painter always had in
sisted that his wife's character had been
m%aligned. He said that Steinhell had loved
his wife and was in no way suspicious Of
her. M. Bouneaud and his family, however,
knew Nine. Steinheil's character and sew
cred their relations with her after the gos-
sip following the death Of President Faure.
Another brother-in-law OF steinheil, on
the contrary, testified that the artist was
familiar with his wife's escapades. This
statement aroused an outburst Of indigna-
ton from Nine. Steinheil, who cried OUT:
you have dishonored the memory of my
husband. II is Infamous"
DR.. Legist testified that the binding and
gagging Of Nine. Steinheil seemed to him
to be a fake"

"The Little Dryad:"
A certain dryad, fairest> of wood
nymphs, has subdued all mortals to
her by her loneliness and the magic of
her dancing Implacable Aphrodite
has caused her to be imprisoned in an
oak tree. granting her freedom to come
forth only once in every ten years,
between sunset and sunrise, until she
can find mortal faithful to her dur
ing the allotted time.
A shepherd, passing through the
wood on the night of her freedom, sees
her dancing beneath the moon and is
lured TO love her and vows eternal
consistency. When dawn breaks she
bids him farewell and re-enters the
tree, which closes around, her. After
ten years have passed away the dryad
comes forth again, seeking to allay the
longing she has kindled. but her lover
has not been constant ard the wood Is
empty. she dances tllrcugh the night,
deluding herself with hope tin the
hour of her doom returns and she Is
compelled to re-enter her Imprisoning
tree.
When dawn breaks the shepherd II
seen wandering through the grove, but
he. is oblivious OF his love, ana her
footprints have vanished from his
memory.
