new INTEREST TAKEN IN
THE BORDENTOWN SCHOOL

The board Of education at Trenton,
N. j., has tentative promise from Dr.
Booker T. Washington to visit the
State Industrial school at Bordentown,
N. J., some time in July. The object
Of the board In inviting DR.. Washing
ton to visit the school is to get by per
sonal contact his ideas and methods of
conducting industrial schools, such as
are used at the Tuskegee institute.
The institution in Bordentown has
excellent opportunities to do a great
work among the colored youth Of the
state and those in close proximity to it.
The present management has done
well the past year, and this Is consid-
cred an opportune time to perfect plans
for the coming school year. The in
crease In the number Of students Is
also another indication of renewed in
terest In the institution.
The problem Of larger and better
equipment for the Northern industrial
school has been one Of much concern
among those who have had to deal
with educational affairs for a number
Of years. But the increase In the pop
ulation of Afro-Americans In the va
rious large cities north and the mani
fest desire among them for a liberal
literary education or trade for their
Children has brought about a new
awakening for special training along
the most desirable lines
Another school In the state which
bids fair to be Of much usefulness IL
the Alpha Industrial institute at Gran
ford. IT differs from the Rordentown
school principally In the fact that 1t IL
not thus far In any way supported by
the state. but IL carried on under the
auspices Of the Baptist denomination.
It recently held its first commence
ment and graduating exercises.

SALVATION ARMY MATTERS.a

Commander Booth Issues Certificates
to First Group of Afro Americans.
The first group of Afro Americans
for Salvation Army work was recently
commissioned in Washington by Com
mander Eva Booth. In the group are
three women and three men under
Adjutant G. N. Roberts. These per-
sons will be assigned to work among
their own people.
Their commission carries the rank Of
lieutenant One Of the new features
Of work which will receive immediate
attention will be the plans for the
erection Of an industrial home in the
District Of Columbia with full equip
ment for all necessary industrial work
In connection with the Salvation Army.
Another plan for future considers
ton Is the starting of training homo
at some convenient point in the south.
Afro-Americans will have entire charge
OF the home. Commander Booth n
giving much time and thought to the
new work and Is very optimistic about
its future development. The rule for
lieutenants is that they must serve for
three years before they can be pro-
NOTED to the rank Of captain.
II captain makes a good record he
may be raised to the rank Of an adju-
tant after seven years. This period Of
time gives ample opportunity for one
to gain experience and become fully
acquainted with all phases Of the
work. Sixty white persons also re-
ceived their commission and will begin
work with the grade Of lieutenant.
Adjutant G. N. Roberts spent the
month Of June in Washington giving
instructions to the new force Of as
sistants.

ROWARD'S JIMCROW BILL
CAUSES BIG CONNECTION.
Attorney Hemans' satirieaI Letter
Misundsrstood by . Newspaper.
By JAMES c. WATERS, Jr.


The utter helplessness Of the colored
people in the United States without a
strong, fearless daily newspaper to
present their side of a case Gas they are
denied hearing in the newspapers Of
the country published by the white
race) was never better illustrated than
In an incident which took place in
Washington recently.
A short time ago white man, sent
there as a representative Of one Of the
crime ridden sections of the state Of
Georgia, introduced in congress the
latest edition Of the numerous Jim
crow bills which have been dropped
into the hamper by various individuals
from the southern part of the country.
Shortly afterward Charles H. He
mans, Esq, a young colored attorney
Of Washington, wrote Congressman
William 8. Howard, the man in ques-
ton, and in peculiarly ironical man
ner called on the congressman to am
pity his bill so as to effect a COM
plete separation Of the races, even to
the elimination Of that kind Of associa-
tion between white men and colored
women which existed during slavery
and which for years since has been a
stencil In the nostrils Of the Negroes Of
the nation, but which Is never referred
to above a whisper by the pharisaical
whites.
To the amazement of Mr.. Hemans
and several friends to whom he had
read his letter before mailing 1t to
Congressman Howard, the Washing
ton Times appeared carrying an article
with double line heading, Howard
Commended For Segregation" The
Washington Times item is as follows:
Among the letters received by Con-
gresham Howard Of Georgia, who re-
Gently introduced a bill to segregate
white and colored passengers on Wash
ington street cars, is one asserting that
the Howard bill is all right except that
It does not 60 far enough
"Charles 81. Hemans, an attorney, has
written to Congressman Howard sug-
costing the widening Of the scope of
the bill. Mr.. Hemans' letter to the
Georgia congressman says law
should be enacted making it unlawful
for colored persons to be served in
white drug stores and in other stores
and that the two races should be kept
apart IN every way"
Friends of Mr.. Hemans were much
exercised upon reading the foregoing
Washington Times article to think that
he would play into the hands Of this
southern race hater in any such man.
ner. Accordingly he was sought out
in his Office in the Lewis building and
asked to make statement. Mr.. He
mans was indignant at the way the
congressman had treated his commu-
nication and declared that he was de-
lighted to be able to put before his
friends and the public at large an ex-
act copy Of the very letter which he
sent to Representative Howard.
