BOOKER WASHINGTON,
 NEGROLIADER, DEAD
Dying, He Bravely Undertook Long Journey to Die at Tuske- gee.-Was Born a Slave in Virginia in 1857.

Tuskegee, Ala, Nov. 14.-Booker T. Washington, the noted negro educator and founder of Tuskegee Institute, died of a nervous breakdown early to- day at his home here, four hours after his arrival from New York.
 The negro leader had been in failing health for several months, but his con- dltlon became serious only last week, while he was in the East. He realiz- ed the end was near, but was deter mined to make the long trip South to bear out his oft-expressed statement, "l was born in the South, have lived all my life in the South and expect to die and be buried in the South"
 He reached his home last midnight and died at 4:40 o'clock this morning.
 Specialists who had examined Wash ington said he was suffering from nervous breakdown and hardening of the arteries. He is survived by his widow, three children and four grand children. His brother, John H. Wash ington, is superintendent of industries at Tuskegee Institute.
 The funeral will be held at Tuske- gee Institute Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.

DAY OF ACTION COMING
By Bishop Joseph F. Berry of the
 M. k. Church.

We have preached against the sa- loon and we have preached eloquently; We have prayed against the saloon and we have prayed against the saloon and we have prayen fervently; we have written against the saloon and our sentences have been replete with logic and with learning; we have wept over the crime. the misery and the devasta- tion caused by the saloon and our tears have been sincere.
 But the day will come when all these sermons and sentences, and tears and prayers will crystalize into snow-white ballots. and the iron hand of prohi- bitive law will take the red-lipped monster by the throat and throttle him. and choke him, and hurl him back to the hell where he was born.

Born a Slave.

Washington was born in slavery near Hale's Ford Va, in 1857 or 1858 After the emancipation of his race he moved with his family to West Vir- ginia. He was an ambitious boy and saved his money for an education. When he was able to scrape together sufficient funds to pay his stage coach fare to Hampton, Va, he entered Gen eral Armstrong's school for negroes there, and worked his way through an academic course, graduating in 1875 Later he became a teacher in the Hampton institute, where he remain ed until 1881 when he organized an in- dustrial school for negroes at Tuske- gee. He remained principal of this school up to the time of his death.
 The Institute started in rented shanty church and today it owns $500 acres of land in Alabama and has nearly 100 buildings valued at half a million dollars.
 Washington won the sympathy and support of the leading Southerners by a speech in behalf of his race at the Cotton States Exposition in Atlanta in 1895. Of undoubted ability and breadth of vision, his sane leadership enabled him to accomplish more for and among the negroes of the United States than any negro of his time.
 Honorary Degree by Harvard.
 In addition to his prominence as an educator, Washington gained consider able fame as an author, He received an honorary degree O, master of arts from Harvard University in 1896, and was given an honorary degree of doe tor of laws by Dartmouth College in 1901.
 An indecent of Washington's career made him a figure of national promi- hence during the administration of President Roosevelt. He sat down to lunch with the president at the White House, either by formal or informal in vitation. A storm of protest followed particularly from the South.

county option law next Monday.
When the city of New Prague. which

the appointment of judges the coun-
Gil found it was impossible to find
a single qualified elector who would
declare himself for prohibition. The
law provides that both factions must
be represented, and the attorney

ruling to the effect that appoint

selected are opposed to prohibiting
the sale of Intoxicating liquors was
returned. and under the circum-
stances it was the sensible thing to
do. There is no doubt, however,
but what the vote will show that
there are a few voters there who
favor prohibition, although in this
age of intolerance they may prefer to
keep their views to themselves.

SIav Farmers,

The total number of Slavish farm
operators in the United States, COM
posed chiefly of Poles, Bohemians and
Slovaks, will largely exceed one hun
dred thousand. This statement by an
investigator of the bureau of immi-
grafton will surprise those who,
though aware that the Slav newcom-
er has generally been reared on the
small farms of Europe, are familiar
with him only as an unskilled laborer.
What is more, 1t is believed that the
Slovak farmers in Arkansas, the Bo-
hemians in Texas-a widely scattered
colony Of over fifty thousand-and the
Slovaks of southern Virginia, should
Incl easingfy act as a magnet to draw
tc American lands the thousands OF
immigrants who return yearly to in.
vest their money at $500 the acre in
their fatherlands. Concerning both

ligenuS and their worth as citizens

Doa's Hard Fate.

A Gordon setter frequented the pier
OF Hastings, N. Y, where tug boats
land for fresh water and the animal
had become a favorite with many OF
the tugboat men. For three weeks the
boats we're not able to land because
of the ice and the dog, apparently not
understanding, had barked his dejec-
ton as his friends steamed slowly past
him. The other day a tug which the
dog seemed to recognize steamed past
the pier and the animal, first running
about apparently in a frenzy of ex-
element, finally ran to the shore,
plunged into the water and started
swimming toward the vessel. The
ice was thick in its path and at last
the dog was forced to put back. The
animal reach shoal water, but there it
stood, lis eyes fixed up stream where
the tug was disappearing. Perhaps
the icy water benumbed the dog so it
could not move; at any rate it stood
motionless while the incoming tide
sent the water creeping up it's sides
and presently the waves met over its
head. Men who had expected each in
slant to see the dog come ashore real
lied too late to save the animal that
1t could not or would not move and
were forced to see 1t drown.
