The Opening Of the N1tfonaf TTaff b.

large and appreciative gathering or
friends was present, not only from
Washington, but from Maryland,

President Of the school.
While the exercises were short,
they were very appropriate and re-
celved with an enthusiasm that be-
speaks the great interest that is hour
ly being aroused in this noble work.
The main spirit that seemed to per-
wade the meeting was one Of unset
fishness, and a desire to help the
young women Of the race who are
manifesting a desire to help them
selves.
This school, which was organized
only year ago, is, perhaps, the most
unique enterprise ever launched by
Negroes in an effort to help them
selves. 1t is owned and operated by
the WOmen's Convention, an auxil-
larry to the National Baptist Conven-
iton, and has thus far, in the main,
been supported by the women Of the
Baptist den omination. These women
started this school with the determi-
nation Of fret uniting to help them
selves, and they have certainly shown
what can be accomplished by those
who desire to do something toward
their own profit. They deserve the
hearty support Of those who want. to
help the race train the women who
must make the home life for their
people. The institution is devoting
itself to the moral, religious, intel
lectual and industrial DEVELOPMENT.

and hand of Negro women and girls:
and while the students have an op-
Dortunity Of receiving a thorough lit
erary training from the primary to
the college course, they are, at the
same time, thoroughly trained in the
industrial arts.
Although the school is only in it's
second year, the enrolment is crafty
ingly large, and represents twenty-one
states Of the Union, and Africa, Cam
ada and the West Indies. Until the
facilities Of the institution can be
increased, Miss Burroughs finds it inn

Crashes Into a Station.

London, Jan. 2a.--One of the most seri-
Gus railway accidents In England since
the disaster to the steamer train at
Americans lost their lives. occurred at
Stoats Nest station. near London. on the
London & Brighton Railway, this after
noon Eight dead and about thirty in
jured were taken from the wreck.
Two third class cars and a Pullman
car Of train from Brighton, travelling
at speed Of forty miles an hour.
crashed into the station. The third class
cars were completely wrecked and a part
of the building was demolished. The
Pullman was thrown aside, but was conf
parativeiy little damaged. It's passengers
escaped with minor injuries. Robert J.
Wynne, the former American Consul
General at London, who was In the Pull
man. escaped uninjured and helped TO
assist the wounded.
Accounts as to the cause OF the acci-
dent differ. One says that IL was due TO
the derainent of a portion OF the train,
which jumped the points where the
branch joins the line, just outside the
station. Another account attributes the
cause to the breaking OF the coupling
between the first and second cars. The
two third class cars reared almost on
their ends and toppled over on the plat
form, bringing down a mass of iron grid
ers and timbers from the station with
tremendous crash.
Mr. Wynne, in describing the accident,
said: I'VE were passing through Stoats
Nest at a rapid pace. when suddenly a
began to tear along the track on its
side. The car in which I was seated
rocked SO violently that many things
We're smashed. The passengers were
preparing TO escape when the car
stopped with g crash.
IL looked out of the window and saw
a man lying dead near the wheels. got
out and helped to pull another man
from a ditch. He died before doctor
arrived. We found two more dead and
a woman dying. Two third class cars
were lying on their sides, having been
thrown against the stone ernbankment,
and We're smashed to tinder."
Mr.. Wynne thought that the breaking
of coupling caused the accident Doc
tors and ambulance detachrnents, with
stretehers, soon appeared. The critically
injured were taken to local hospital,
while the others We're brought to London
