tHe NdtioHdi Negro bubluebs ledSuc'
delivered the principal address at
Philadelphia. He spoke In part as
follows: This, the fourteenth meet
ing of the National Negro Business
league, marks also the fiftieth ami
versary of our freedom as a race.
1t Is. then. both timely and fit-
ting that this great gathering of the
representatives of the backbone and
progress of our race should be held
Mn Philadelphia. 1t is most appro-
pirate that this meeting should take
place after 80 years of freedom in
this city. where 1877 years ago that i'm
mortal document. the Declaration OF
Independence, was issued. Whether
the American negro was meant at
that time to- be included within the
scope and meaning OF the words of
the Declaration Of Independence has
been a debatable question. However
that may be decided, we mean as a
race through this and similar organ
izations to make ourselves such a
useful and potent part of American
citizenship that in all the future no
one will dare question our right to be
included in any declaration that re-
lates to any portion of the body poll
tic.
During the SO years of our freedom
we have been subjected to some pret-
ty severe tests. First. there were not
few who raised the question as
to whether or not the American negro
could survive in state of freedom.
We answer that question by showing
that when freedom came to US we
were 100000 In number; now we
have grown to over 10.000,O00 free
American citizens"

The march of the Tenth cavalry, a
negro regiment, from Fit. Ethan Allen,
Vt, to the camp of instruction near
Winchester, Va. has not attracted
much attention, but it was fine per.
formance. The distance traversed
was 705.9O miles and the route was
through five states and over several
mountain ranges. The start was made
on June 16, and Winchester was reach
ed on July 10. Four days the regiment
rested, and the average days ride was
1888 miles. The weather was general
ly hot, the maximum temperature be-
ing about 100 degrees on several days.
One horse died of collie; three, over
come by heat, were shot, and eight
were left on pasture for their own
good. The ages of the horses ranged
from five years to twenty-three-it ap-
pears the veteran survived. One hun
dred and thirty-eight pack mules
shared the march, and all trotted into
the instruction camp in good condi-
ton.
No hospital returns have been pub
lished, but the troopers doubtless did
better than the horses. Negro sol
diers are hardy and merry on the
march, making light of the hardship
and discomfort. The Tenth is a crack
regiment, as every one of its white
officers will testify, and it had been
stationed for long time in a salubri-
ous country. Perhaps, remarks the
New York Sun, there are white regi-
ments in the army that could have rid
den from Vermont to Virginia in
quicker time than the Tenth, but none
could have finished the march in bet
ter temper and under better discipline.

Uncle Irving" is dead at the age OF
1o4, relates the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Industrious ex-slave, whose pic
turesque figure was familiar to pa
irons Of the Sixth street market, where
he was employed, celebrated his one
hundred and fourth birthday last
Monday b. taking holiday. and on
Friday he breathed his last. His
funeral will be held tomorrow after
noon in the Calvary Baptist church
The aged darky was of that vanishing
school, the ante-bellum negro, whose
naive winsomeness and wholesome
simplicity endears him to all, espe-
cially southerners. 81 lives right with
Gawd-that's all. This was Uncle
Irving's" invariable reply when asked
for his creed and formula for his long
life and contentment. He had clear
memories of the days when the eight
eenth century was young. Born in
Warsaw, Ky, in 1908, he lived in
slavery until his fiftieth year. when
freed by President Lincoln's emanci-
patton proclamation. The half CEN
tury of slavery was span of pleas
ant years for him, he often said. He
always spoke gratefully OF his first
master. Thomas Brown OF Warsaw,
who bought him when he was five
years old for $500. He would also
speak proudly of the fact that he one
time brought 81, 500 on the block. For
years Uncle" Irving Brown had been
a Jealous member of the Baptist
church. He often represented his
church at conferences and meetings
in other cities. Three times he was
chosen delegate to Yellow Springs.
He was a trustee of the church until
the day of his death.

THE FIGHT FOR
 CHEAPER GAS

Bridgeport was visited, yesterday, %y the Public Utilities Commission. which sat for a few minutes to fix a date for hearing upon the petition of Representative NcNIurray and Wilson Bridgeport.
 The hearing will be held on July 2. Gas costs more in Bridgeport than it costs in either Hartford or New Ha- ven. Gas costs $1 net in Bridgeport. Better gas is sold generally in Massa- chusetts cities of the same class as Bridgeport at prices ranging from 75 to s5 cents. but generally at so cents per thousand cubic feet.
 Bridgeport ought to enjoy rates at least as favorable as those enjoyed by other communities.

ANTl-GRAFT MINISTER
 HAS FIRST WEDDING AND REFUSES FEE

Chicago, June 6-The Rev. Amer PenneweII eolennnized the first "anti- graft marriage yesterday, since his recent announcement that he believed fees accepted by ministers for officiat- ing at weddings were nothing less than a. graft and that in the future he would make no charge for this ser vice. He also asserted that couples must '+present clean bills of health from reputable physicians"

The 1.-Two Bridge" Bonding Bill

Thesbridge bonding bill is up to the voters If they wish to spend Q nail- lion dollars on an unnecessary bridge at State street. for the benefit of real estate speculators and debt maniacs they may do so. The opportunity is theirs. It was a hard won oppor- tunity. The double machine, backed by a powerful lobby, fought hard for a law that would prevent the Ques- ton from going automatically to the ballot box In this purpose they were defeated.
 But the bin shows it's origin and the desperate desire of it's originators for the State street project. Feeling lthat there amight be a demand for a new bridge at sratford avenue, the promoters of the State street folly caused both matters to be consolidat- led in such way that they must be voted upon together, the hope being lthat the friendship some voters may have for a new bridge at Stratford avenue, might help the State street million over-
 The%defeat of the bill should be cer- tain Nor will this prevent Bridge port from issuing bonds for a new bridge if it desires. The General As eembly passed a law under which cities may issue bonds, BY THEIR OWN INITIATIVE, with the consent iof the electors
 Under this law a proposal for a bridge at Stratfortl avenue can be Heparatelys submitted. and the way is absolutely clear for the unhampered KILLING of the proposed issue of a million and half of bonds for the construction of two bridges, for one of which there Is certainly no large, or general demand

LEARNING TO SWIM.
Morwieh BuIIetin.l

One of the requirements at Colum- bia university is that every student, barring physical defects, must be able to swim at least the length of the gymnasium pool before he can receive his diploma. As a part of the gym nasium course this is an important consideration and as much stress Is laid upon 1t as upon other essentials of the course. The great lack of abil- ity to swim among the people is as- tonishing and particularly regrettab ble when the emergency arises which gives them the opportunity to use such knowledge and it is found they are deficient even for their own pro- lection.
 Columbia has taken a stand in this matter which is highly commendable, and 1t could well be made a require nent in every institution of learning which has the facilities for teaching it. Though swimming can best be

SEWAGE POLLUTION BILL

The bill to remove sewage from in land streams and tidal waters, which came into the General Assembly, with good prospects. emerged at the end of the session so badly emasculated that it's own parents couldn't recog- nize it.
 Instead of a measure authorizing a revolution of sewage disposal meth Dds, there remains a mere instruction To the State Board of Health to in uuire into the question
 In taking this action it is notable that the legislature became a partaker of the view of Hon. Za1mon GoodselI of Bridgeport, who was an ardent and indefatigable opponent of the plan. believing it would inflict millions of expense upon the cities On the other hand the measure was ardentIy de- sired by the oyster growers, who be- 1ieve that their oysters would be more marketable if sewage deposits were estopped from the Sound.

LABOR APPROVES
 TRADE SCHOOL AS PLANNED BY GLYNN

New Haven, June 6-By it's approval last night of the New Haven Trade school plans as set forth by the Su- perintendent of the new school, Frank Glynn, the New Haven Trades coun- ci1 established a notable precedent in the attitude of labor toward the trade school idea. In the majority of cities where trade schools have been estab- 1ished the unions have been either in different or antagonistic to the schools, and the support given the idea here Is taken by the Board of Educa- tion, which will conduct the school, to indicate that the school will have smoother sailing than if the support had been withheld.
 MT. Glynn told the Council that 1t would be the policy of the school to prevent over-production in the trades and to this end the Board Of EducaA tion would through him consult with the masters of various trades and train in those trades which the masters agree upon as necessary.
 In addition he analysed the public school system to show where e1irnina- tion could be practiced so that those without special training for voca- tional life could be helped. The trade school he showed as a special prepar- atory school for the practice of ones trade, just as the normal school is the preparation for the teacher and
  yer.f
 And above all he overcome what ever vestige of objection there might remain to the idea by emphasizing the fact that the school would teach the trades in their entirety, and the men turned out would be the equals of the apprentices turned out dn the factories and not low-priced competitors, as feared by the unions.
 Superintendent of Schools -Beede spoke upon the needs of the public school as related to the industrial conditions, and urged that the schools should better answer the needs of the people in educating children for a vo- cation. The trade <cnoo1 he said, would bridge the gap between the four teenth and sixteenth years Of the child. As it Is now a boy. who grad uates from the grammar school at fourteen must wait two years before he can become an apprentice to a trade. By going into the trade school he can spend those two years in learn ing the trade and comes out able to earn the same money as the lad of nineteen years who has had to become an apprentice in factory.

THE HUMAN PROCESSION


 How to keep my figure? That is the question that is -agitating millions of women the world over, in these days when slenderness is the supreme fem lnine virtue. and fatness, or even bIumpness, is little short of criminal. And here is the answer, as supplied by Mime. Rejane, the great French ac- eress, who, although she passes her Efty-Eixth milestone today, still re- tairs the slender and beautiful lines of her youth. A meatless diet, a pure ly vegetable regimen, saved the peer less ReJane when she found herself growing too plump to play the roles in which she has won fame the world pver It was hard-it was difficult Gor Madame to forego the pleasures of frog limbs, and poulet, and pate de Eoie zras, for Madame is fond of good living, but in the end she trfumphed over her appetites and made the great renunciation. Immediately the folds of fat began to disappear and now Rejane, on her ffty-sixth birthday, finds herself young and beautiful as ever with every likelihood of eQual11ng the record for perennial youthfulneSs established by her sister vegetarian, the divine Sarah.
 Madame Rejane, whose real name was Gabrielle Reju, was born in Paris on June 6, 1857, and made her stage debut at the Vaudeville Theatre 39 years ago. She speedily won a place among the foremost of Parisian ac- tresses. and in 1895 made a tour of America that was immensely success full Rejane was for some years the Ztfs of N. PoreI, director of the

TO OPEN CHESHIRE
 REFORMATORY SOON

The Cheshire Reforrhatory board will meet this evening, at which time it will be determined officially when the State Refornatory for Boys will open Warden Garvin has given it as his informal opinion, when asked by Judge Joel H. Reed, of the Hartford term Of the superior court, that 1t would be open for the reception of prisoners within two weeks, and on the ~stre ength Of that assurance Judge Reed sentenced three lads in his court to the reformatory, the first that have been sent there. The statute provides that prisoners from 16 to 25 years of age may be transferred from the State prison to the reformatory, and until that time the lads will be held at the prison There was some doubt as to the legality of sentencing prisoners to the reformatory before it is finished, burt this is held by Warden Garvin to be legal inasmuch as it provides for their confinement in prison first, and transfer when the other institution Is completed It will be recalled that States Attorney filling in prosecuting a case against a young lad sixteen years of age in the April term of the New Haven superior court, recon mended that he might be sent to the refor1natory after it opened. In the interim he was sent to jail by Judge Burpee.
