departments. One of the questions
that so often come up is that of Tu-
berculosis, and we are trying to in
terest our people in getting plenty
of fresh open air and other things
that we need to do in order to avoid
this disease. We are doing things
that are needed in this line so as to
build them up. We are also trying
to get some young people to get rid
OF so much ragtime music, and stop
living on their feelings and live in
their soul There is too much of this
emotion, or, in other words, we have
too much ragtime in our soul.
Railroad Department.-The condi-
tons that exist in our railroads for
Negroes need 20 be improved. There
is not enough room in the coach,
poor ventilation, etc. This depart
ment appeals to the governor of the
state and presidents of the roads to
improve the conditions that exist on
the railroads for colored people.
These conditions have been described
to the presidents of some of the roads
and they have since been made bet
ter. Letters have been written to
the different governors and presl-
dents Of the roads and favorable an
swers have been received. The con
ditions mentioned above are not eX-
cuse for the conduct Of our people
on the trains. This department is
also trying to make that conduct bet
ter.
Big Sister Movement-In any state,
in any home, in any church, this sys-
tenn looks out after the boys and girls
of our race We send boys and girls
to school whose parents are not able
to give them the proper education
and keep them in school until they
/ graduate, and are ready to go out and
| help others. We are trying to up
lift the women of our race. The pub
lie prints and posting sections in adj
vertisirg their flour with the black
nanny always make her look Sc
homely. We do not object to them
advertising their goods with pic
ture of Aunt Jemima, but why not
make it look as a real respectable
good old colored cook would appear
We should protest against the use OF
such ugly pictures of our race in the
advertising of these goods.
It is no easy task to hold this AS
sociation together and l urge upon
the cooperation of the different clubs
to help in this matter. The next
meeting of the Federation will be in
Wilberforce next year and as many
women of the South are urged to be
present as possible. The colored
women of the South do not attend
these meetings in as large numbers
as those in the North, and for this
reason the women in the North think

MRS. WASHINGTON TO WO-
MEMS CLUBS.
CONTINUED from page IL

Usually those who live in the city do
not want to live in the country, but
the country is the best place for our
people, and those who know the coun-
try ought to urge upon the people to
stay in the country and make things
interesting and attractive as they are
in town so as to save our young peo'
pie. So many of them get tired OF
the country life because it is dull
they say, and decide to come to town
and in so doing fall in with the bad
element and drift away. We should
do all we can along educational lines
in the way of having compulsory edu-
cation. This department is keeping
uD with the number of children in
school finding out all facts about the
schools. both in the North and South,
10 order to see how many OF our boys
and siris are in school We are also
trying to urge upon our younS peo-
PIE to come to the South ard attend
our own schools.
Temperance Department.
The habit cf drinking sometimes
begins in our own homes. We begin
by taking little mild drinks, such as
eggnog. Some people seem to think
think that they just must have these
little drinks, especially at Christmas
time, and it is from this that most
OF our race get the habit of drinking.
There is very little difference in
drinking a little eggnog and drinking
glass of whisky. 1t is said that the
Negro can drink more whisky than
the white man; that is to say that the
Negro can drink more whisky without
becoming a brute than tie white
man can. In one state we had sue
ceeded in getting the governor not to
license colored men to sell whisky,
but afterward found that they were
licensing more white men to sell 1t,
thereby making matters worse; and
so tue work of this department is to
aid in the stamping out of the drink
ing habit. We try to influence moth
er5 to become companions of their
daughters and urge upon the parents
to grow up with their children. This
department also gets the children
who are under age from the juvenile
courts. In the state of Alabama three
colored women of the State Fedora
ton have the honor Of being mem
bers of the Executive Committee.
This Is to let you know just how we
are progressing along these lines.

remained until he had finished
the full classical course and re-
ceived the degre of B. A. after which
he followed his chosen profession as
a teacher and taught in some of the
best schools of the country In the
A. NJ A. school at Albany, Ca, he
rendered valuable service, after which
he was elected principal of the Pub

quite a record for himself as an ed

city and the latrons as we'll So we'll
did he do his work that the Board Of
Education and patrons regretted to
give him up after he had gotten too
feeble to perform school duties and
about a year ago he was forced to
retire from work on account OF his
feeble condition and he spent the re-
mainder of his days with his aged
and devoted mother and younger
brother, Prof Willie Meredith.
Prof L. Meredith was a Christian
gentleman and believed in the doc.
trine of the A. M. E. Church. His
connection with the Congregational
Church while at school he often tod

unmarried, though he always talked
in favor of the matrimonial ties,
when they could be equally yoked.

his power to make his mother happy.

WOMAN DIED.
Horse Frightened at Auto, and Col

Heart Died from Shock.

On Mond;.y afternoon about 6
o'clock considerable excitement was
occasiOned on the streets by the
death of Rosetta Vandyck, a colored
woman, who died suddenly following
a fright
She was about 40 years of age
and weighed about $50 pounds She
resided as a cropper on the place of
Esq. Lewis Clendenin in the old Six
teenth district
She had come to the city and was
driving on Dunlap street when her
horse became frightened at an auto
mobile, it is said
She drove on to George Hudson's
store near the mill on East Wood
street She was very much excited.
After walking up and down the floor
short time she called for a doctor
While George was gone for a physi-
clan the woman expired
It is said she suffered from dis
eased heart and this coupled with the
fright probably caused her death.

a Christian gentleman and good
citizen.
In a business way he has been fair
ly successful and has always met his
obligations as a man. The expense
for his training was secured by his
own efforts. and the beautiful resi-
denee, II Church street, at the time
of his death is a standing monument
to show his devotion to his mother
and his ambition to make a good and
useful citizen.
Therefore we feel that in his death
his mother has lost a most devoted
son and his brother an affectionate
brother, and his church a consistent
Christian, the educational profession
one Of its leading factors and the
town q good citizen.
