GOING THROUGH ESSAYS
WILDE ABIG TASK
Master Mind" Editor to Begin Work
of Judging Contributions
This Afternoon
LITERARY EXCELLENCE SHOWN

With the hour of u o'clock noon today
The Master Mind" essay contest will
close. and this afternoon the work of
going through the contributions will be-
gin. The successful contestants will be
made known as soon as the awards have
been made. The examination will take A
little more time than was thought
necessary, because Of the large number
of essays which have come in during the
last few days.
The Washington Herald's call for the
best essays regarding Lucene's conceal
ing her past life from her husband has
met with a great response. which, while
very gratifying. has caused much labor
even before the judges begin their work.
The Herald, through its offer of so in
gold in prizes has practically created a
campaign of education. The contest has
stimulated and brought out the best there
is in the minds of hundreds of men and
women.
The judges. we know. will be surprised
at the excellence of many of the essays,
and as this is the last day of the con-
test The Herald extends its congratula-
tons to all the contestants-men and
women, young and old, married and
single, enemies of Lucene. defenders of
the poor girl, and to the admirers of the
play of THE Master Mind" now show
ing at the Columbia Theater.
The following is one OF the best essays
lately received:
Il think I,ucene a very foolish girl to
marry a man because she loved him,
fearing all the time TO lose his love IL her
past became known, for no one can be
happy with "A black cloud hanging con-
tinually over them"
Another writer. justifying silence on
Lucene's part, says: The past is a life
you never knew. and from that past ]
could owe YOU nothing. All that / owe
you now, whether OF love. confidence. or
truth, could begin only from the hour We
met"

American Colonization
ConiaEv

A draft for $4,000 to be used in edu-
eating the children of the negro repub-
lie Of Liberia, was handed to the Liber-
ian consul general for the United States
yesterday by DIR. Henry L f. johnson,
president, for the American Colonization
Society, which was responsible for the
establishment and maintenance of the
republic
The presentation was made at the Of
fees of the society. which was founded
in 1877, at Four and One-hah Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest. The
$4,000 represents uninvested interest on
a fund in the hands of the society.
The fund from which payment was
made represents the gift of Caroline
Donovan. who in 1856 left valuable Bal
timore real estate to the society for the
promotion of Liberia. The fund earns
several thousands Of dollars a year in
interest.
The American Colonization Society is
credited with being the only private en-
terprise which has established. main
tanned, and made a nation practically
financially independent. Its activities
had ceased to a great extent until the
presentation yesterday.
Among the officers Of the association.
besides President johnson, are Paul
Sleman. secretary-treasurer, and DR..
Johnson, Mr.. Sleman, II. l. West, Mil
ton E Allies. ]. Henry Small. James B.
Reynolds, and Charles E. Howe, MEM

Earnings of the fund were used for
many years in sending desirable persons

ity in the country have made assistance
