Crowley interest, which is chartered
Tor five years by the New York. New

rany to carry coal from Norfolk to
Eoston, has arrived here from Cam

Aboard her came Captain John G..
crowley, managing owner; Captain
Arthur l.. Crowley, superintendent
Of construction; Captain Elmer e.
Crowley, commanding the steamer,
and couple Of compass adjusters.
She is reported to have behaved
splendidly on the run, making in

which she will make ordinarily, IS

freighter, few such making more
than eight Or nine knots. &
The Suffolk is of the lake type,
her machinery being pretty we'll
astern, and is a very fine ship. She
is the third one built by the COM

steamers. These steamers make
about forty-two trips a year between
Norfolk and Boston and carry each
about 1900 tons coal on a voyage.
Each carries, therefore, about
100000 tons year.
The Suffolk is to take coal from

MAKING GOOD.

In these days when color prejudice
is rarpant and merit under dark skin
is seldom rewarded, it is gratifying to
lind an exception to the rule, and such
an exception so close at hand as in
the case of T.. II. Huskins.
Mr.. Huskin= is a member Of the
carrier force Of the local post office.
He has served in that capacity for
ten years and is rated in efficiency
among the best. Thai in itself is not
unusual, for the Negro is making good
in all departments Of the government.
But in one respect The Advocate
thinks. Mr.. HuSkins holds the record.
He has been sent three times as the
sole delegate to the carriers cOnVen-

one Of the two Negro carriers among

| his popularity among his fellows. But
bis popularity is not confined to those

GATES AND COLOR LINE.

| SHoflN AFTER the commencement
| last June at Fisk University repor
was sent out from Nashville by ,
| local paper and copied extensively
throughout the country by the vel
low Journals TO the effect that Presi
| dent Gates was drawing the color line
| in that institution. He was charged
with discriminating against the col
| cred pNbi,' "a the seating accommoda,
tons on the final day of the gradual
zion week. and with having dropped
five COlOrHd Instructors presumably
for the purpose Of making places for
whites.

Fisk University much damage.
From a reliable source at Fisk it
is learned thai reservations of seats
were made for white people, but that
this was done 1T their request, as was
also done in the case of cOlored peO-
pie requesting such reservations. The

AK; AS Was the case with President
Thirkicld Of Howard. lhc attack on
Gates was cont 2.vr> in malice and
executed with 4 vigor worthy Of a
better cause. Both men are contri-
buling the best that is in them to
the elevation of 4 backward people.
Each is endowed with rare intellect
ual talents, unusual sympathy for the
Negro people, and clearer under
standing OF the needs and capabilities
OF the race than many Of those ar
rayed against them. 1t is no enviable
honor for either TO preside over a
Negro institution of learning. Men
OF their type command and receive
higher hOnorS and larger emolumentS
for laDOring among their own. What
they DO for us is acluated largely by
a missionary spirit which few Of us
understand and les posses. We mis-
take their motives and, like some OF
our brethren across the seas, we would
eat the bodies Of those who seek to
save our souls.
The task Of men who as is PreSl-
den; Gates are striving unSelfShly and
Labor iou>ly to throw the light in dark
places. is hard enough without our
newspapers casting Obstacles on the
way. We are yet contributing too
little toward the support Of such in
situation "a Fisk to cOnjure up grleV-
ances against their administra-
lion. What these institutions
need now and will need for years to
come. if they would accomplish the
ends for which they were founded, is
the united support Of the race whose
advancement they seek. Any other at
titude ca the part Of the Negro is
an exhibition Of the baseSt ingratitude.

style entertainment Of which the pa.
irons Of the theatre never seem to
tire,-the drama which tells the story
of life as it is, not all tears, but hap
py blending of the two. 1t makes
little difference where the scene Of
the play is laid, whether in quiet
country lanes or on busy city pave
ments, if it possesses true human in
terest. if the characters represent
real men and women. with their Joys
and sorrows, their struggles and
triumphs. it will live long after the
shows which offer only gaudy scenery,
flashy dresses and dismal Jokes are
forgotten. Plays like Way Down
East" In Old Kentucky" and Shore
Acres" will never wear out and the
management of Sis Perkins" which
will be seen at the Opera House on
Tuesday December 18th claims that
its merits place in this class. The
central character is true to the soil
and may beiound in every village in

Of mind and heart that arc lacking in
