T. Washington organized movement
to secure a special gift OF $4,000 to
tighten his burdens and encourage
him in his work at Tuskegee, to be
given annually for five years from a
number of selected persons through
out the United States. The move
ment has been SO successful and so
spontaneously responded to that
$4,000 year for five years has been

Thirteen years ago, when President
Cleveland left the White House. a
South Bend Qnd.) Democrat vowed he
would wear beard until another
Democrat should be elected. His
name is Peter Kreczmer and his hair
is very red. He had to pay so cents
to get his beard shaved, SO rank was
the growth of 13 years. He gathered
up the fiery red bunch and has had
watch chain made of it, which he
will send to President-elect Wilson.
Thirteen is generally considered an
uncanny numerical combination. and
President Wilson will get the full ben
eft of it for better or for worse"

American Reid settled in Kentucky, in
the latter part of the Eighteenth CEN
tury. The descendants of this Scot
lowlander moved to Ohio. Whitelaw
Reid was born at Xenia, Ohio, on Oc-
tober 81. 1887. He had brilliant
scholastic career. fer which he repaid
his father by teaching school. This
debt cancelled at twenty, he returned
to Xenia and purchased the local
newspaper. He took Greeley, then
making history with the New York
Tribune. as his mentor. His paper was
the first east of Illinois and only one
in Ohio to support Lincoln for Presi-
dent in 1860, and Reid plucked the
only delegation in Ohio from Samuel
P. Chase and into the Lincoln column.
He stumped the state for Lincoln and

Worked for Sc Week.
After Lincoln's election Reid went

We have received and studied with
great interest, copy of the Negro
Year Book-Annual Encyclopedia of
n. Work of Tuskegee Normal and
Industrial institute. The book was
planned to meet the growing demand
from all parts of the United States
and some portions of the old world
for accurate and concise information
in regard to the history and progress
of the Negro race. Probably 1t would
be possible to condense greater
variety of important facts into the
same amount of space, but we doubt
it. In this book one can find import
ant facts-the essential facts-touch-
ing the progress of the Negro in any
and all fields wherein he has been
worker Nor is this all.
All legislation bearing upon his des-
tiny both as a slave and as a free
man are given here in condensed
form. Negro education before, dur
ing and since the Civil war, Is treat
ed in an interesting way. In fact it
would be difficult to think Of any sub
ject, any line of endeavor, with which
the Negro is, or has ever been, identi-
fed, that is not found here, and the
facts put in form which makes
them easily accessible.
Among a number of surprising first
things or persons" may be mentioned
these: THE first settler in Alabama
was a Negro" Paul Cuffe. noted
Negro skipper, was the first person to
advocate colonization of Negroes in
Africa; Lot Carey the first mission
ary to Liberia" THE first slave in
surrection occurred in New York"
John Brown Russwurm was editor
of first Negro newspaper in the United
States, and was one of the first Ne
groes to graduate from a college in
this country" ""Daniel Walker, the first
Negro to attack slavery through the
press" Negroes have been inventing
objects since as far back as 1884.
when a Maryland free Negro was
granted a patent on corn harvester.
1t is curious in the Eight of later
developments to note what strenuous
efforts, as given in this book. were
made by many of the Southern states
to abolish slavery in the first quarter
of a century of its existence.
The price of the Negro Year Book"
is, we believe, Csc, and to say that it
is worthy many times that much.
would be another way of trying to
indicate its value.
The book should be in the hands of
two classes of people: Those who
make some claims to know something
of the progress and development of
the race. and those who didn't know
anything at all about the subject
and this, I believe, includes all Ne
groes and just as large a proportion
of white folks.-Dallas Express.

triumphant finish. His agate" letters
from the field filled columns of the Ga

attracted national attention.
Chosen as Tribune Editor.
Reid in 1868 established himself at
Cincinnati as one of the proprietors,
editor-in-chief and principal leader
writer OF the Gazette. The impeach-
ment of President Johnson attracted
him to Washington, however, to report
personally that extraordinary trial for
his paper and where what may be re-
sarded as the crisis of his career oc-
Cured.
He was again brought into contact
with Greeley who again renewed his
invitation to Reid to enter the home
office of the Tribune and this time the
invitation was accepted. Then came
the political campaign of 1872. Imme-
diately upon his nomination for Pres
ident Greeley resigned as editor of the
Tribune and Reid was chosen to fill
his place.
Upon the reorganization of the pa
per after Greeley's death he came into
control of it's policy.
He declined the offer of the ministry
at Berlin when it was rendered by
President Hayes in 1877, but in March,
1889, acceded to President Harri-
sons wish and went to Paris as
United States minister.
His chief work in France was the
removal of the prohibition which for
eleven years had entirely barred
American pork from the French mar
ket
In 1897 he was special ambassador
of the United States at the diamond
jubilee of Queen Victoria and in 1898
was one of the five American commits

spain at the Paris conference. In 1902
he went again to London as special
ambassador to the coronation of Ed

post.

Two Persons Were Injured
when The Wreck Occurred
Wreck Crews From Two
Cities Work Many Hours
In Clearing Up The Debris
So Traffic Can Be Resumed

Two locomotives and eight freight
cars were smashed and several hun.
dred dollars worth of merchandise
was damaged or destroyed In rear
en- collision, Just south of the deep cut
north of the city at AGO o'clock
Thursday afternoon. Both trains
were south bound and No. "a was
running into the west siding when
second "a rushed through the cut and
crashed into the first train which had
been unable to make the siding In
time to avoid the wreck. Engineer
w. J. Wright and Fireman Clarence
Kinney, both of Newark, were both
injured but escaped death by jump
ing from the cab of The engine on
second "a.
An unusual fact about the trains
figuring In the wreck was that an en-.
gine was attached to the front and
rear Of each, the first one pulling and
the rear one pushing. When engineer
Wright saw that the first train had
been unable to make the siding he
shut off and threw on the air. Ordin-
arily this move would have slackened
the speed Of his train tC such an ex.
tent that the crash would have been
much tighter. The engineer at the
rear end of the train was still in his
engine which had not yet entered the
cut, however. and could not see the
impending catastrophe and did not
shut Off. AS n result Engineer
Wright's efforts were in vain and the
entire rain was showed against the
engine on the rear of the first train
with terrific force.
'rhe two engines were piled into a
heap and were apparently damaged
beyond repair. Eight box cars were
jammed together with force enough
to hurl them from the track and burst
them open. These cars contained
brooms. paper. farm wagons, sewing
machines, and various other kinds OF
merchandise of that order. The
damage to this was large.
| Almost Immediately after the crash
the wreckage caught fire from the
engine fire-boxes and the city fire de
partment was hurried to the scene
Ths blaze was kept down by the un
ceasing efforts of the firemen who re
mained at work until midnight. Much
merchandise that was not damaged
In the crash was ruined by fire and
water.
Wreck trains were rushed to the
scene from Newark and Chicago
Junction and the work of staighten
Ing out the chaos was begun as quick
ly as possible. Traffic was badly tied
up and the track was not entlrel,
clear until late Friday.
Engineer Wright sustained a deeI

profusely. He was taken to the office
OF the company surgeon where atten
tion was rendered. In leaping iron
