Adjutant-General l. Pusey Wicker
sham. OF the Organized Militia OF Del
aware, paid his respects to Major
General Leonard Wood, chief-of-staff
of the regular army, while in Wash
ington yesterday. and incidentally
discussed with him the probable eff
feet upon the Delaware militia of the
proposed increase in the number of
men in the regular army. This in
crease is contemplated by legislation
to be recommended to Congress.
General Wickersham this morning
declined to report Major General
Woods opinion upon the proposed
regular army increase and its prob
able effect upon the Delaware militia.
"The matter simply came up Incl
dentally when / called to pay my re-
spects," General Wickersham said.
1T would, of course, be improper for
me to report anything that General
Wood may have said"
MilitiaSofiicers regard the meeting
of the two officers as illustrative of
the close relations Of the militia and

PUT PURSE I'M MAIL BOX.

The three policemen who divide the
tours of duty at the booth at the Man
hatten end Of the Brooklyn Bridge
have queer experiences. The other
evening In the rush hour Policeman
Joe Schmidt saw a woman walk up to
the large mail box, deposit black
package and hurry to catch a car on
one of the loops. Five minutes later
the same woman rushed back past the
policeman and made a flying tackle
of the mail box.
What's the trouble, lady?" asked
Schmidt.
It's in therel It's in therel she
cried and pulled a. stamped envelope
from her pocket. My pursel | put
1t in instead of the letter"
Just be calm thenl The postman
collects every fifteen minutes at this
hour Of the day and he'll soon be
here"
In few minutes the postman ap-
ed. unlocked the box and before
she couh be restrained the woman
plunged into the mass of mail and
emerged waving the purse. She de-
scribed the contents, among other
things her own cards, which It. con-
tanned, and Policeman Schmidt had
seen her deposit it, so the identif-
cation was satisfactory. It contained
two diamond rings and SIP.

Blood Thirsty Butchers
Innocent Colored People Butchered.
Especial to The Bee.)
Palestine, Tex, Aug. Il, 70

Editor of the Washington Bee:
On reading your issue for August
I3, h-aoted a wildly exaggerated stase-
ment of the Negro Massacre in this
county, near Palestine.
| beg to state that the source Of
news in your section of the country
has almost entirely spread reports
that have never occurred.
Being interested in my race and
race affairs, ! shall give you sketch
Of the massacre, knowing the particu-
lars Of the barbarism.
Near the village of Slocum, in the
southeastern part of the county, was
the scene of one of the most heinOus
crimes committed in this section OF
the country since the Indians.
Men (colored mem were shot down
like dogs; youths were not spared
whites armed to slaughter chased
Negro men in the forest and shot
them down wherever they found
them Civilized white men, men of
chivalry and honor, took the lives of
men who raised not a hand for pro-
lection, without any just cause.
Some of the incidents are as fol-
lows: Two youths were on their way
to feed stock when they met a crew
of white horsemen, who, without a
word, fired upon the youths, wound
ing them unto death. Three victims
seated around the corpse of a dead
man. one an old gray-haired gentle
man, was killed After two days OF
raging, eight Negroes were dead and
not one white
Rangers were dispatched to the
scene and quoted the riot They be
gan to investigate the community, as
the report had been spread that Ne
grOes were heavily armed, and were
| fighting a pitched battle with the
whites In the houses of the NegrOe,
was found several single-barrel shot
guns. Their muZZles were ChOkeC
with spider webs, and hadn't beer
used since squirrel time last fall. No
one was loaded
| notice a report III your paper tha
| the Negroes looted the hardwar;
stores for ammunition. After the ru
NOR of the riot not a Negro was solo
ammunition The lOoting was wholly
untrue. The Negroes were peaceable
and raised not an arm towards loot
ing. No soldiers were killed-they
didn't go to the scene of the riot, but
kept peace at Palestine
/ At present there are thirteen white,
/ in jail accused of murder. No col
! ored
SO far no reasonable cause has beer
established as to the cause of the riot
only a Negro 'sassed" a white man
]
Everything is quiet here now
There are three rangers at Palestine
who will stay here during the trial.
You may publish this if you see fit
Respectfully.

The Aims of the Normal School.

A normal school deals with what
should be done for an average or
normal child under normal or aver
age conditions. Education aims to
effect changes. and the normal school
must present clearly just what those
changes should be and how they may
be made The abnormal child
above or below normal-the abnormal
school and abnormal conditions CON
Germ the normal school only as they
help it to establish correct procedure,
to give the highest average in the
human nature Of the child at the time
the normal school works with him,
and in terms of the highest average OF
human social effort
Abnormal conditions form the raw
materials out of which the normal
school trains teachers to give a more
or less finished product. They are
more. they are its reality out of which
the normal schools ideal is to emerge.
The graduates of the normal school
represent the cadets of an army
against ignorance, superstition and
vice in the adult society of coming
years.
