HARRIET TUBMAN NOT IN
DIRE CIRCUMSTANCES.
New York State Federation Of Wom.
ems Clubs Makes investigation.

In view Of the overdrawn statements
concerning the condition Of Harriet
Tubman, her dire needs, ETC., the EN-
pire State Federation of Women's
Clubs, which met recently in Yonkers,
N. Y, appointed the president. Mrs.
M. 8. Talbert Of Buffalo, to visit the
home at Auburn in which Mrs. Tub
man is confined for the purpose of as
certaining her real condition and re-
port the same to the executive commit
tee. Accordingly Mrs. Talbert has
made her visit and submitted findings
to the committee. At a subsequent
meeting held at the residence of Mrs.
M. G. Lawton in Brooklyn 1t was learn
cd that, while Mrs. Tubman is far
from absolute want, she Is not as
comfortable as she might be. TO this
end the committee is arranging to per-
feet a plan whereby the closing years
Of her life may be spent as pleasantly
as possible and at the same time with
no expense to her.
1t was the opinion Of all present that
the services Of Harriet Tubman dur
Ing the days Of slavery in behalf Of
her race were deserving of all the con-
sideration the women Of New York
state could give. 1t was suggested
that her room be renovated and made
az attractive as possible, that the nec-
essary bedding. underwear, etc, be
provided for her at once and that the
expense Of retaining nurse be shared
by the clubs forming the federation.
Mrs. Tubman, according to the re-
port. is in full possession Of her men,
tai faculties. but is physically very
weak. being almost 100 years old. A
linen shower in aid Of fund for Mrs.
Tubman was given at the residence
Of Mrs. NJ. @. Lawton, 173 Willoughby
street, Brooklyn, Wednesday evening,
Aug. 0. Those present at the commit
tee meeting were Mrs. Frances r. Key
ser. Mrs. Agnes Adams Of Boston, Miss
8. Elizabeth Frazier, Mrs. NJ. J. Stuart,
Miss Adena O. Minott and Mrs. Char
lotte Bell.

which is regarded as one Of the largest
and best equipped public schools in
Richmond, has q nine months course,

which is due to the energy and inter-
est Of Principal Blackwell. In 1890

Of the school as principal he found the
school doing business in an inadequate
frame building of six rooms. He set
about to erect new building and sue
ceeded In building a splendid modern
brick structure which is the present
home Of the school.
The school yields considerable infiu-
ence in the city Of Richmond and its
graduates do well, many Of whom
