HEAD OF TUSKEGEE,
WASHINGTON, DIES
Famous Negro Educator Who
Won His Way Up From
Slavery to Leadership
of Race, Expires.

Tuskegee. Ala. Nov. 16.-Booker T.
Washington, foremost teacher and
leader of the negro race, died Sunday
at his home here near the Tuskegee
institute, Of which he was founder and
president. Hardening Of the arteries,
following a nervous breakdown, caused
death four hours after DR.. Washing
ton arrived from New York.
Although he had been in failing
health for several months, the negro
leaders condition became serious only
last week while he was in the east. He
then realized the end was near, but
was determined to make the last long
trip south. He had said often: Il
was born in the south, have lived all
my life in the south and expect to die
and be buried in the south"
Accompanied by his wife, his secre-
tary and a physician, DR.. Washington
left New York for Tuskegee at
o'clock Friday. He reached home Sat
urday midnight and died at 4:30
o'clock Sunday morning. His last pub
appearance was at the national con-
ference of the Congregational churches
in New York, where he delivered a lee
ture on October Is.
grandchildren survive. John II. Wash
ington, brother, Is superintendent OF
the industries at Tuskegee institute.
The funeral will be held at Tuskegee
institute Wednesday morning.
DR.. Washington was born in slavery
near HalsefOrd. Va. in 1857 or 1853.
After the emancipation of his race he
moved with his family to West Vir-
GINA
Won BY Hard Work.
When he was able to scrape together
sufficient money to pay his stage
coach fare to Hampton, Va, he EN-
tered General Armstrong; school for
negroes and worked his way through
an academic course, graduating in
1875. Later he became a teacher in
the Hampton institute, where he re-
manned until 1881, when he organized
the Industrial School for the Negroes
at Tuskegee, to which he devoted
most OF his attention during the re-
naming years Of his life.
The institute started in a rented
shanty church and today it owns $500
acres Of land in Alabama and has
nearly 100 buildings valued at $780,
600.
In addition to his prominence as an
educator, DR.. Washington gained con-
siderable fame as an author. An honor
airy degree as a master OF arts was
conferred upon him by Harvard uni
versity In 1895, and in 1901 he was
given an honorary degree OF doctor OF
laws by Dartmouth college.

Thanksuivinu,

Children, do you know the story
or the first Thanksgiving day,
Founded by our Pilgrim Fathers
In that time so far away?
They had given for religion,
Wealth and comfort; yes, and more
Left their homes, friends and kindred
For a bleak and barren shore.
On New England's rugged headlands,
Now where peaceful Plymouth lies.
There they built their rough log cabling
Meath the cold November skies.
And too often cen the bravest
Felt his blood run cold with dread
Lest the wild and savage red man
Burn the roof above his head.
Want and sickness, death and sorrow
Met their eyes on ever hand:
And before the springtime reached them
They had buried half their band.
But their noble, brave endurance
Was not exercised In vain;
Summer brought them brighter pros
Ripening seeds and waving grain.
And the patient Pilgrim mothers,
AS the harvest time drew near,
Looked with happy. thankful faces
At the full corn In the ear.
So the governor. William Bradford,
In the gladness OF his heart,
To praise God for all his merCies,
Set q special day apart.
This was in the autumn. children,
Sixteen hundred twenty-one,
Scarce a year from when they landed
And the colony begun.
And now, when, in late November
Our Thanksgiving feast is spread,
IT'S the same time-honoTed custom
or the Pilgrims long since dead.
Selected,

In a daze Jason left for Washington.

"Here!" answered Jason.

Jason found himself in the inner room,
with the door closed behind him. The
room was empty, yet filled. There was
but one man in It besides Jason, but
that man was Mr.. Lincoln, who sat at

eral Borovich, OF the Austrian army,

day as follows by the Overseas News
agency:
Il maintain all positions as 1 took
charge of them, when the war was be-
ginning.
THE third battle Of the Isonzo may
be considered as having definitely ter
minated, which means it was lost by
the Italians. They fought bravely at
times, especially in their vain attempts
to capture the bridgehead at Gorilla.
THE Italian artillery threw 34-cent!-
meter shells for the first time. Gen
orally speaking. their artillery did good
work, as was demonstrated by the Sc
ries of holes made before our front by
their shells.
while the bombardment was on, the
Austro- Hungarian troops did not move
from their positions. When the artil-
lery ceased firing, the italian soldiers,
who had been told that the Austrian
and Hungarian soldiers had been
killed. advanced to within a small dis
lance Of our positions. Then we opened
fire. Not one italian reached our main
trenches who did not fall or retreat"
