ROYALsHONORS AT FUNERAL OF GEN.
 NOGI AND HIS WIFE:

Tokio. Sept. 1S.-Genera1 Nogi and his wife were buried, today The throng which watched the funeral procession was almost great as at the recent funeral of the Mikado. Per- haps the General was even more sim cerely mourned than Mutsuhito. To the masses the latter was hardly more than an idol, the one which they deeply venerated. General Nogi was a man of flesh and blood and for him the people had a personal feeling. 2.
 From his late home in the suburbs of Akasakf the Generals body was drawn to the Aoyama cemetery on a gun carriage. A hearse with his wife's coffin followed. Japanese admirals and generals acted as pallbearers. An in- fantry regiment served as an escort of honor. In the procession were fully 50,O80 people. Scores of Japanese no tables, and with the exception of Sec retary of State Knox, who was out of the city, all the envoys sent from abroad to the late Mikado's funeral, were included
 After the Shinto rites, three volleys were fired over the Generals grave.

TYPES.

When a gentleman comes smiling
 To my office for chat, Greets me gayly, almost gladly, Lifts the tails of his Prince Albert
 And proceeds to take a chair, I'm not fooled by the deception,
 I know he's no millionaire. Though his rafment is impressive, And quite digniffed he looks, s I know well the game he's working He has called to sell me books. When a red-faced, rotunds stranger Calls me Mister and appears As delighted with our meeting
 As if we'd been friends for years; And he mentions folks who know me In a most familiar way, And believes he met my. brother
 On his travels yesterday, That's enough. know the answer, Oft it's tested my endurance, MT. Smooth and Polished Stranger Wants to sell me life insurance. When a man much like banker. -zs Who has recently been shaved, Passes me a card of linen
 And expensfvely engraved, Then proceed to talk of money
 In a free and easy style Mentions tens of thousands lightly, And displays a gentle smile, I Just yawn and say I'm busy, Then look sadly at the clock; For I know the game he's playing And I don't buy mining stock.

THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS
Success Wrought By Race in One Generation - Tales of Personal Handicaps Overcome-Oppor-
 tunities Now Open.

Ry William Anthony Aery, Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va0
 Exclusive Service The Survey Press. )
 The negro in business has been mak-
 ing unusual progress. In 1911 the
 American negro, engaged in farming,
 merchandising, real estate, manufac-
 turing, numbering, insurance, printing
 and pabliehing, engineering and bank
 ing contributed over $700, ,0O0, 900 to the
 wealth of the nation. It has been
 rnirabIy; it gets left in the distribu- tion.' The problem of the negro in business is this: How to make the raw material produced by him not the end
 of his effort but the basis of his in- dividuaI activity.
 Through persistence, initiative and cooperation, thousands of negro men and women in all parts of the United States have developed small business ventures into substantial business en- terprises. They have saved and inyes- ted money carefully; they have put wise suggestions given them by Dr. Washington and other men who are virtually interested in the races well fare. Today the outlook for the negro in business is not only bright but ac- tualIy inspiring. Negro men and wom- en are quietly getting a firm hold on the buying of homes the extension of business, the opening of factories, the establishment of banks and the better apprecia ton Of commercial pursuits.
 Dr. Washington has emphasized the of the ten million negroes in America becoming the owners and users of their share of the 27O GOO, 900 acres of unused and unoccupied land in the south and west. He declares that if white men can establish and operate saw mills, coal mines, brick yards lime kilnS, and other enter prises so to secure wealth and hap piness he can see no reason why the negro should not engage in similar work and reap some of the benefits which come to those who own ,deVel- op. manufacture, and trade in the declares that in at least twtnty-f1ve places in the south and west negroes may build towns and sities similar to Mound Bayou in Mississippi, and Bol- ey Oklahoma. To carry on this con structive work negro men and women from tI1e9 colleges and universities are needed STo increase the business and influence of negroes, men mustorganize, losally in the state, and in the nation. By the side of the teacher and the minister, there must stand in helpful relation the in dependent farmer, the real estate own CT, the manufactures, the merchant, and the banker.
 There are places in the south today according to pr. Washington, for B. 900 additional negro dry goods stores. l g. O0O grocery stores, $500 dfug stores, l ? 900 shoe stores, 1900 millinery stores. and 2,000 negro banks. F'Developmentl and activity in ali tFese lines" ac- cor ding to pr.

 A most striking story of a negro s success in business, the facts of which have been amply verified, is that of Watt Terry, formerly of Mechlenburg, County, Va, who arrived in Brock ton in 1900 with capital of fifteen cents. Watt Terry secured work as coachman. Then for two years and a half he served as assistant janitor in the Brockton Y. M. C. A. For month he worked as a railroad DOT ter. Finally, he made up his mind that he wanted to learn the shoe makers trade He had considera ble difficulty in getting a start. At least he decided that he would accept a shoe foremans proposition to work for two weeks for nothing in order to get start at seven dollars a week.

HOSPITAL INMATE JUMPS OUT WINDOW Frank Wier, In Delirium, Crashes Through Win
 dow Glass Caught In Saloon After Chase of a Mile-Gives
 Police a Tuss1e

A sensational attempt to escape from his attendants was made by Frank Weir in the Bridgeport hospital this morning, when attired solely in night-shirt he jumped from his bed and evading restraining hands hurled himself through a glass window to the yard a story below. Pursued by order- lies, nurses, the police and a constantly augmented crowd of amazed specta- tors he made his way through Central avenue and down Connecticut until he was captured near the ear-barns on Stratford avenue. At first he took his restraint cooly but upon the ar rival of the patrol which had been combined efforts of the hospital-staff and police to return him to the insti- tuition.
 Weir who has been an inmate of the Bridgeport hospital for over a week was suffering from severe burns about the face. He was thought to be con- valescing and has shown no symptoms of dementia until this morning when shortly before noon he arose from his bed. A nurse was sleeping forward to order him back when he wildly warning, Or throwing open the sash, he jumped headlong through the glass, landing with a thud in the yard some fifteen feet below.
 Imm mediate calls for assista nee were made and as it was feared he had been severely cut by the Jagged glass,
 
 at the emergency hospital. Dr. H. R. Bennett responded, but was informed that the patient had been cared for. During the interim orderlies were dis patched to search the vicinity for trace of the missing patient. It was not hard to follow his course a s his scantily attired person and wi1d-look- ing visage had attracted the attention of every passerby. None had volun- teered to check his progress which took his pursuers through Central avenue to Connecticut and thence to Stratford avenue There he was found covering behind the bar of a saloon. He appeared to be suffering from some delusion and refused to return A bath-robe was secured to protect his person and call sent to police head quarters for the patrol and assistance. Patrolmenr .Burdett, Farnaum and Fin negan were sent to the scene, and all persuasive methods adopted in an ef- fort to secure his return As soon, however, as the officers attempted to lift him into the wagon, he stoutly resisted and the9 combined efforts of four officers were required to place him aboard without using physical
