TERTAINING WASHINGTON.
S
says He Was warned Not to Visit the
south as He Could Expect No
Hospitality. Wants to Ele
vate the Race.
j3ishop Potter was the chairman and
Booker Washington the p.rincipal
speaker at @ pow-wow held in New
vork a few nights ago in the interest
of southern negro schools.
Bishop Porter, who is one of the
noisy northern cranks and ‘so—cglled
I.hi}anthropists that are busying them
selves to wimprove'’ conditions in the
south, said
Ve must dea) with the black man
as a problem, not in fragments, but as
4 whole. In doing this, we must be
prepared not to meet with a great deal
of sympathy from certain quarters. 1
must confess tbat the first man who
entered my mind as I entered this hall
was the senior senator from South
Carolina. Some time ago in Boston
he delivered himself of the strange ut
terance that what these institutions at
Hampton and Tuskegee were doing
was but to educate the negro so as to
enable him to enter the trades and
crowd out the white people. Thisisa
peculiar diserimination to make, just
as we have begun to eleyate the color
ed man and women. We ought to
realize that the main thing that di
vides the negro from the white is lack
of culture, and that by giving him this
culture we will ennoble him and raise
him to a level of intelligence and cre
ative citizenship.”
Booker Washington was introduced
by Bishop Potter, who said that after
the president had entertained Booker
T.Washingvon as his guest he tele
graphed him as follows:
] congratulate you upon your guest.
He was a guest at my table last winter
and [ never entertained a worthier
one.”’
Somehow or other,”’ continued the
bishop, ‘‘my message became public
and since that time I have received
numerous letters from people south of
the Mason and Dixon line, asking me
not to show myself in their neighbor
hood, as their citizens had no desire to
entertain me.”
OPENED WITH PRAYER.
Preacher Given That Permission
When Sworn.
The Rev. J. A. Kring was a witness
in a trial at Fort Scott. Kan., the oth
erday, and before he was sworn he
asked the justice/if he might be per
mitted to open his testimony with
prayer. The justice responded that if
the jury had no objection he would
have none. Thereupon the preacher
walked over to the jury, kneeled down
before them and offered uv a supplica
tion. He prayed that the Lord would
keepthem from all evil and guide
them to a right understanding, and he
praved that each witness would be
made to realize that if he swore false
ly he would be visited by the wrath of
God. When the trial came to a con
clusion. the churcb and the preach
er lost. Apparently it was another
of those mysterious dispensatious
through which the wiched sometimes
triumph,

Good Stories Told at a Banquet in
Honor of Andrew Carnegie.
It takes a surgical operation to get a
joke into a Scotchman’s head! Let no
man say this again, says the New York
World. If ever a company of banquet
ers was in a roar from beginnihg to
end of the speechmaking it was the
gallant 450 Scots who paid tribute to
Andrew Carnegie at the Delmonico
dinner the other night. Never was
such a batch of good stories told all in
the same evening. Mr. Carnegie, Mark
Twain and ex-Justice Henry E. How
land outvied the other in humor.
ANDREW CARNEGIE.
“I never thought I'd be president of
this society for three times. When you,
Mr. Mayor elect, get to be president of
the United States, which is not at all
unlikely, I pray you will not serve
more than two terms; it might em
barrass you. I want you all to remem
ber this—you cannot all succeed in dy
ing poor. Some of you Scotchmen will
persist in leaving something behind
you.
“Tonight we're as ‘hieland’ as whisky
and as lowland as haggis. ‘lt's like the
higher criticism,” said an old woman
who believed in it. ‘Now, take the
doctrine of total depravity; it's as guid
as onny of them if you only live up
!
MARK TWAIN.
“It's like the old woman who wrote
of her great distress: ‘First Mary died,
and then the callant—the shepherd dog.
Then husband died, and at last the
cow, but I got 15 shilling out of her
hide. This reminds me of the school
boy who said, ‘A lie is an abomination
in the sight of the Lord and an ever
present help in time of trouble.
“There was a man whose mother-in
law died, and he received a telegram
asking: ‘Shall we bury, embalm or
cremate?” He replied, ‘lf these fail,
try dissection’ He knew the other
three would be tried anyway.
“Then there’s the boy who said,
‘Faith is believin’ what you know ain’t
so. He's now studying for the min
istry.
“An old Irish widow was sitting on
the curb, tired out with carrying her
basket of washing. Two granddames
stopped near to discuss the past sum
mer.
“ ‘I went to Long Branch, and it was
nothing but Irish, Irish!
“«Yes, and I went to Saratoga, and it
was nothing but Irish, Irish, Irish,
too! |
“Then the old washerwoman arose in |
her wrath. ‘
“ ‘Why didn’t you go to hades? Faith,
there’s no Irish there! |
“] remember the day I was born. It
was bitter cold. I came into the world
without clothes. I was astonished. I
spoke of it to my parents. They bad
no explanation when taken so suddenly
except the old excuse that it was cus
tomary. What was custom to me at
that age of life? All you care then is
how you look. I mever felt so embar
rassed in all my life.” \
EX-JUSTICE HENRY E, HOWLAND.
“In the midst of life we are—in
Brooklyn.
“This is a land of milk and honey,
with occasional deposits of coal arnd
iron. That was like the Irishman who
wanted to reduce sixteen to one to its
lowest terms, so he called it ‘nothing
to ate.’ ) |
“Boston is a town so antiquated that
the streets are bent double with age. |
They know the language so well that
the little children advise each other to
read Emerson before they outgrow it.
When a little Boston girl fell from al
ladder, her mother cried out, ‘Darling;
how did you fall?

Practically Starving.
“After using a few bottles of Kodol(
Dyspepsia Cure my wife received per- [
feet and permanent relief from 3a
severe and chronic case of stomach
trouble,’’ says J. R. Holly, real estate,
insurance and loan agent, of Macomb,
111. *“Before using Kodol Dyspepsia:
Cure she could not eat an ordinaryl
meal without intense suffering. She |
is now entirely cured. Several physi- |

has announced that he will not con

said that be would not care to make a
ficht for the chairmanship, even 1f it
is generally considered an honor. But
the yourger members of congress are
urging him to allow them to put him'
through, and assure him of enough
votes to elect him if he will but say
the word.

TO GO UNDER HAMMER.
Abraham Lincoln’s Birthplace to
Be Sold for Taxes.
The birthplace of Abrham Lincoln,
near Hodgenville, Ky., is advertised
at sheriff’s sale for taxes. |
A few years ago the place promised
to be a property upon which the gov
ernment would spend thousands of
aollars, but it was bought by a com
pany of eastern capitalists with the
intention of making it a public park.
This scheme fell through when the
cabin in which Lincoln was born was
carried to Central park, in New York
city. The place was uncared for and
has gradually gone down until its
value is nat more than enough to meet
the taxes paid on it.
