GREAT EASTER EGG HUNT.

Two thousand happy-hearted chill
dren IN the morning of their beautiful
full lives, spent day at Greenwood
Park last Saturday that will be green
in their memory if they live a CEN
tury. Five hundred eggs had been
carefully hidden on the hills, in the
crevices and throughout the park, that
the hunt might prove. all the moro
enjoyable. Children began coming TO
the park before noon, and by one
o'clock a careful estimate placed the
number at two thousand, not includ-
ing the parents and many of the
grownups, who came to enjoy the
feast that had been prepared for the
little ones who. with their laughter
and glee, hunted through this beau
tiful park for the eggs.
Greenwood has never looked so
beautiful as on this occasion, the
new grand stand with a seating ca
pacity of five thousand; the fountain,
which sends up its crystal spray of
white, and hundreds of other amuse-
ments have added much to the park
Office men and merchants of the
city were liberal in giving prizes to
the management who in turn was as
liberal in awarding them to the chill
dren, as will be shown from the vas;

service was perfect and enabled many
to go out who otherwise would have
been compelled to remain away Lis

by representatives of the Nashville
institution for colored students. The

forty-ffth anniversary of the founding
of the university. At a platform
meeting this afternoon Elwin D.
Mead, of Boston, presided, and Presi-
dent w. H. P Faunoe, of Brown Uni

There was singing by the Fisk Jubi-
lee Club.
This evening representative and
friends of Fisk University held a ban
quet, at which the speakers included
President Gates, DR.. Washington and
Lieut-Gov. Louis A. rockingham.
In urging support for the Negro col
lege at Nashville, Tenn, Booker
Washington said
TFortytfive years of Fisk Univer-
sity means forty-fve years of prog
ress for the Negro race. Perhaps it
is true that the life of few institu-
tions in the south is more closely
linked with the progress of the black
people than is Fisk University. It
was among the pioneer institutions
planted in the south for the benefit
of our people. During forty-five years
it has done its work wisely and sue
cessfully through the graduates and
ex-studCnts who are now at work for
tho uplifting OF humanity in every
part of the south.

DR.. Walker said that the South was
the only section OF the country
where barriers had not been set up to
prevent a man from earning a living
On account of the color of his
skin, and he also stated that the col
ored man had more opportunities to
serve his race in the period of ad.
justment by teaching that their future
success did not depend upon conflict,
but on concord and cooperation with
the best white people of America.
1--WE must become producers as well
as consumers, benefactors as well as
beneficiaries," he urged, "the oppor-
tunity to cooperate with the white
people in the South in developing
the wonderful resources in this South
land must be seized and utilized by
our people We are American citizens
and we must decide to remain here,
build homes, build characters, solve
our problems, shape our destinies,

forts and eXertions. We should main
tain our racial identity and many CT

DR.. R. F. Boyd introduced Gov. 3.
W. Hooper, who made an excellent
talk. Gov. Hooper spoke encourag-
ingly of the future of the Negroes
and offered them much advice which
was appreciated by the large audience
present. Referring to the last time
that he had spoken in the Auditorium
he said that it was for the benefit o1

he was speaking to an educated am

weaker to higher plane. By doin

Until midnight Monday night the
city Board of Education remained in
session, threshing out, among other
things, the high school building Ques-
tion in several of its details.
1t developed that the local blue stone
ordered to be used for the foundation
work makes an unsatisfactory APP
pearance to the board since the con-
struction is begun and the board or
dered the use of local white stone in
stead.
Messrs Ittncr and Sharpe, Ir., were
present, the former stating that por-
tions of the work were so far not ac-
cording to specifications and changes
would be made. 1t will necessiate the
tearing down and reconstruction OF
that portion of the stonework already
placed above the ground line, which,
however, is not much. The contrac-
tors were asked also to report as o
the cost of using the white stone
throughout the building, instead Of
the local blue stone. Should the
change be decided upon, quite saw
ing will doubtless be made In the Cost
of the structure.
Mr. Simon Lieberman asked that
an agent or supervisor be employed to
remain on the grounds, representing
the board in the carrying out Of the
building specifications. Maj. E. B.
Stahlman strongly objected, stating
that the architects were employed fof
just that work, and that if a middle
man were to be employed, such would
Lave to be done at the expense of the
architects, according TO the contract
Upon this phase of the subject the
discussion was prolonged, lasting until
the meeting was finally adjourned for
another session next Monday night.
When a motion prevailed to increase
the building committee from four to
five members, Maj. E. B. Stahlman
resigned from this committee as a
token OF his disapproval of the
change.
WATERS DISMISSED.
Another feature of the session was
the disposition of the case of George
Waters. colorod teacher at Knowles
school, against whom a petition had
been presented to the board that Wat
ers be dismissed.
Upon a report read by Mr.. E. ]
Smith Of the investigation committee
action was taken dismissing Waters
after thirty days, he being suspended
in the meantime.
A pay roll of $2S,6S4O0 and ac
counts aggreg2ting S5,771,50 were or
dered paid.
Mr.. ~ herman, of the Executive
Committee, recommended the con
Struction of a portable building al
Cockrill school. The matter was re
ferred to the Executive Committee
with power to act.
The report of Supt. ]. j. Keyes was
read recommending, among othel
things, that committee be appointed
to have charge of the commencement
exercises Of the Fogg and Pear
rIh"Nls tn take place June IA, 10. The
matter was referred to the instruc
tion committee.

PARl0R CAR PLAN
IS DECIDED SUCCESS

The pioneer all-parlor-car train
between New York and Buffalo has
just completed its first year of SER
vice,
For many years it was a question
among railroad men as to whether
all-parlor-car trains-trains with no
ordinary day coaches at all-WOuld
be successful. Some officials held
that the all-parlor-car feature was IL
powerful attraction to travellers;
others said it did not compensate for
the loss of passengers who were sat
isf1ed with seats in the day coach.
A year ago the Lehigh Valley rail-
road management decided to drop
the day coaches from the Black Dia-
mond Express, between New York,
Philadelphia and Buffalo, and make
it a solid parlOr-car train. For some
time it remained the only train Of
this type running between Buffalo
and the Atlantic s~eabOard. The
years test has proved it a thorough
success.
There are thousands of passen-
gers who much prefer a train with
no day coaches" said the Lehigh's
general passenger agent, Charles 8.
Lee, yesterday. I'VE we're a little
doubtful of the experiment when we
changed the character of the Black
Diamond a year ago, but we are not
doubtful any longer. The demand
for passage on this flyer has grown
so in recent months that we have
had to add two or three parlor cars
to the equipment used last fall. Often
we have to run an extra section to
take care Of the OYerhOW."

NEGRO AMUCK
IN NEW YORK
Kills Two and Injuries
Many on Street.

New York, May 1S.-A negro valet
old, ran amuck in Columbus avenue at
One Hundred and Fourth street and,
the ~bystanders claim, not only attempt
ed to stab, shoot and blackjack those
who fought with him, but went cut Of
his way to attack everybody In sight.
Cain was finally shot in the back by
Policeman Eynon and was taken to the
Harlem hospital, seriously wounded. 8
Not long after his arrest two of his
victims died in the j. Hood Wright
hospital. The dead are John Hall, thir-
ty-fve, chief clerk in the branch post
Office at One Hundred and Fifth street
and Columbus avenue, and Sason Su-
rell, stabbed in side and back.
Cain said after his arrest that his
troubles began on a northbound ele-
waited train when a passenger remon-
strated with him for smoking on the
platform. Two other passengers, all of
whom were white, took sides with the
first man.
Cain has just finished serving a sen
tece OF nln years Tor Stabb1ng to
death Richard L. Bell, a reporter, in
June, 1900. At the time Of the trial
Cain said Bell had insulted him and
that he had used a knife in self de-
tense.
Early in the fight Cain pulled a knife.
AS soon as the man who had begun
the quarrel with Cain on the elevated
station saw the flash of the knife he
turned and ran. George Hickey and
the others killed and injured closed in
upon Cain. Hickey said later that he
thought Cain was armed only with a
blackjack, but that as he grasped the
negro's hand to take the supposed
blackjack away he discovered 1t was
q knife.
