which will enable him to create a busi

While 1 am not discounting the value of
high- r intellectual education, we must
recognize the fact that there is but a lim
ped demand for men of this caliber.
Almost the only avenues open to the ed
r aie.l colored man, are the pulpit and
the school, and both our pulpits and our
t- ,ids are fully supplied. We must rec
ognirc that there is a difference because
ne differences in the past."
.Starting from this point Prof. Washing
ton gave some attention to the evils of
o'. (red .noting the young men of the col
on and race, dwelling especially upon the.
mistake which has most commonly been
made of taking the boys out of the coun
try and educating them to a point where
they ire out of sympathy with their sur
roundings. In this condition they drift
to the towns and cities, where finding
avenues of Intellectual employment closed
to cm. they can only live by their wits
1 Is in this way’ that many "leading eol
• I men." are developed, men who have
i employment, and no visible means of
port, who exist ui>on the labor of their
wives and mothers and sisters, and pose
l-ef. re the community as "leaders of their
ra The speaker was sarcastically se
ine in the picture which he drew of the
leading colored man.”
Instead of educating the boys out of
sympathy with their surroundings, he
iid it was much better to teach them
agri. ulture and horticulture, the knowl
edge of plants and fruits, of cattle and
useful knowledge generally. Teach them
to work as the white man works—how
rot to work hard. In other words, how to
accomplish more by the use of modern in
ventions and improvements than their
fathers are accomplishing by hard manual
labor.
If the race, or any portion of it. were
to remain in idleness, he told them, it
were better for them to remain in igno
rance £s it is cheaper for the community
to support an ignorant man than an edu
cated one.
"Do you know.” he said, “that every
i'--e peis:n in tMs community is supper el
hy the r'lnmunl'v. That is true and the
people v ho work are supp>rting the idlers.
You never saw a starving colored man.
Somebody feeds h m. There are a let cf
die n groes in this town who get their
food out of the white man’s kitchen, and
•he white people are largely responsible
for rhis s f ate of affairs. They should cut
o.f the supply. Let them lock heir kitch
o sand their antri sand make the idle
s'cuncrels go to werk. Our women want
t* ?t~p supporting these idle rascals. Let
them cerse this sort of thing and there
will be le's idleness and less immorality.”
The speaker alluded with regret o the
fact that so few opportunities for skilled
lt’oor are open to the negro in the coun
try, North as well as South, and men
tioned hi? recent visit to the cotton fac
tory in Charleston, which is being oper
ated by negro labor, with the expressed
hope that the young men nnd young
of that city wcuid piove worthy
of the opportunity offered them. As an
illustration of the necessity for the colored
mmi to learn improved methods of labor
h* told how the negro had been practical
llv driven out of a number of trades at
thn North, which hr had practically mo
nopolized ai one time, but from which he
1 ad been driven by the white man with
his improved processes and more skilled
mechcde. He told of seeing a white man
in Boston washing sixty shirts an hour
with the aid cf an improved laundry ma
chine, and reading a newspaper at the
same time, and predicted that if the col
ored washerwomen did not learn im
proved method.- and take advantage of
modern inventions that they wouid soon
t>* driven out of the business.
At present, he said, the negro is be
barred from the higher forms of produc
tive labor, largely because of Ms un
pkillfulncss. He must prepare himself to
labor in all fields. Industrial prosperity
must he his goal. He mus 4 be taught
the nobllLy of labor. It Is Impossible for
any to rise without an industrial
foundation. The good fortune of the col
ored people of Savannah in having an
industrial tchool located at their doors
and the good work being done by fills
institution was dwelt upon, and they were
urged o fake advantage of it to the full
*** possible extent.
In ‘'(inclusion, the speaker criticised
?ome of the well k,nown idiosyncrasies of
the colored people In a good-humored

and a white man. he said, was the white
n:an was always thinking about how to
improve his business, while if you ask a
negro what he is doing he will tell you
he is preparing to die. This explained a
tfrear deal, he said. He alluded humor
ously to the number of colored societies
*Mch exist mainly to bury their mem
bers, and .said the burying business was
being badly overdone. "Let us teach our
people how to live,” he said. "God
"ill take care of the dying
business.* 1 Instead of putting their money
>Uo ihese societies to bury them, they
had better put it into building decent

“Rr n living, not a dying race,” he urged.
One.of the weak points of the colored

TALKED TO THE WOMEN.
>Jr*. Washington Spoke Freely of
Error* ami Shortcoming*.
Mrs. Booker T. Washington addressed
a lareg audience of colored women at
St. Phillip’s African Methodist Episcopal
Church yesterday, and talked freely to
them upon the conditions of the race, and
the serious defects upon the part of its
women, which must be remedied if the
race ia-to make further progress.
7 following it; a partial report of Mrs.
V\ ashington’s address:
“In consenting to come before you/ wo
men to-day, I am influenced by this fact
more than anything else—we need as a
race, a good, strong public sentiment in
favor of a sounder, healthier body and a
cleaner and highef-foned morality. There
is no use arguing; we do not think enough
of these two conditions; we are too in
different, too ready to say I keep well,
my boys and girls behave themselves,
and I have nothing to do with the rest
of the race. No nation or race has ever
come up by entirely overlooking its mem
bers who are less fortunate, less ambi
tious, less sound in body and hence in
soul, and we cannot do it. We must not
do it. There are too many of us down.
The condition of our race, brought about
by slavery, ignorance, poverty, intemper
ance, ought to make us know that in half
n century we cannot afford to lose sight
of the large majority of the race who have
not as yet thrown off the badge of the
evils which I have mentioned
“To be a strong race physically, we
have got to be a more moral one We do
not want to lose o.ur temper when we dis
cuss these conditions either. Now that as
women, we may be able to make a move
ir the direction of impr >v ng the race, we
have got to face certain facts regarding
our health and morals. They arc not all
from the standpoint of the Southern white
man, ncr are they all from the Northern
white rcople with Southern inclinations.
You know r that we often feel that every
and woman South of the Mas mi and
Dixon line is a real enemy to our prrgns*.
It is pretty bad down here I will admit,
but there are many fine, noble Southern
w’hite people, weirmn well as men. It
a Southern man. an Alabama man at
that, who in part, at least, makes it pos
sible for us to be here t geiher to-day, to
study our own shart-comings.and to try
to find a way cut of them. I say it Is not
Southern w’hites alone who have felt that
wo should make a move upward, who feel
that we are weak in these directions, nor
’ it the white man alone at all; but our
own medical men, our own educators, who
also feel and know* that there Is too great
a laxity in those matters among us.
“I wish you to note these fact 6: For five
of our large Southern cities, these figures
relate especially to the death rate of col
ored people in excess of w hites. Rate per
thousand in city No. 1, colored. 26; white.
19; city No. 2, colored. 36, white. 22; city
No. 3. colored. 37. white, 17; city No. 4.
colored, 32; white. 18; city No. 5, colored,
35. white. 17. According to your Mayor’s
last report were in '96 1.028 deaths
amongst the colored population, and 567
amongst the whites. There were 770
births for colored, and 182 for whites.
The death rate of our children is some
thing to make us tremble. As long as it
is 60 high we cannot hope for much. Num
bers count up for a great deal in thin
country. For five years in one of the
largest Southern cities alone the
excess in the death rate of
colored children alone under five
years of age was 163 per cent., while that
of the w’hites was only 32 end a fraction
over. We are very' often inclined to treat
this subject lightly by saying that we are
a great producing race, but I have no pa
tience with this indifference for it is sim
ply impossible for any race to balance
such loss as this.
"In every city in the country where you
observe it, you find that we are losing
more by death than we are gaining by
birth; immorality ns well as poverty nnd
ignorance, bears its share of the blame
for this low state of vitality. It makes
us susceptible to all forms of diseases
and death. We must have a cleaner so
cial morality. A man who has given
thought to the moral life of the race
claims that over 25 per cent, of the col
ored children in one <ity alone are admit
tedly illegitimate.”
Discussing the causes for these things,
Mrs. Washington said:
"Not only are poverty. Ignorance and
intemperance the cause of all this mis
ery, but downright negligence, too.
plays a large part In these
matters. Colored men drive,
cut w'ood, unload ships, etc.
all day in the pouring rain, at night they
throw themselves onto a bed and sleep
without removing their wet clothing.
Our women are little or no better. What
is a better feeder for pneumonia and all
forms of tuberculosis? The men clean
street?, sweep and dust buildings
with no effort to keep the throat clear of
duet and dirt. The majority of canes of
consumption are not inherent, but con
tracted through lack of thought, and in
terest in one’6 own self.
"How many of our women during their
pregnancy, make nothing of lifting from
one bench to another heavy tubs of cloth
ing, drawing big buckets of water, lift
ing great sticks of wood, running up and
down stairs, and a dozen other similar
things entirely against them. They do
not know the laws of health, end they
will not learn them. No, I do not sav
do not work during these months; work
even hard work is good for one, hut the
manner in which labor is performed is
what I criticise.
"As women, can we not do something to
correct our condition physically and mor
ally? I think we can.
"The average colored person dislikes wa
ter. He will not keep himself clean. He
bathes, if at all, once a week —Saturday
night—and changes his clothes In the same
indifferent way. He uses a tooth brush
irregularly. He often even neglects to
comb his hair except on Sundays. There
is no excuse for this. The least exacting
low' of cleanliness is to bathe at least
twice a week, changing the clothing us
often, remembering to clean the teeth a*
least once n day, and to comb the hair
also at legrt once each day.
“We cat too little or too poor food.
We are ready to buy showy
clothing, and we stint our stomachs to do
this. They call us gr at eaters. Let us
rat more and better food. There is vary
little vitality in grits and gravy. Get
fresh fruit, fresh eggs, etc. These things
give strength not only to women, but to
their effspring.
"Keep regular hours. Do not stay In
church until 12 and 1 o’clock at night. Go
to bed at 10, especially if you labor
through the day. When you get up In the
mornings, air the bidding, epen up the
house for awhile and Ist the sunshine In.

STORY OF THE ROBBERY.
One of the Men Concerned Describes
the Hold Ip.
Memphis, Tenn., July 12.—A special to
the Commercial-Appeal from Cairo, 111.,
says:
Mike Conley*, alias Doyle, confessed to
Chief Mahoney to-day that he assisted in
holding up the Illinois Central train on
Wednesday morning. He says there were
only three men concerned in the hold up,
and that they.were all drunk.
Conley soys he stood watch over the
train’while the others did the w*ork. Af
ter leaving the engine they entered a
yawl, and the leader of the bandits pro
ceeded to divide the money. Conley say’s
they cheated him, counting out flve-dol
lor bills for themselves and telling him
they were ones, his share being only S3O.
In the count of the money they* quar
reled, and Conley says he jumped over
board and swam ashore. The others pro
ceeded down the river. Nearly drowned,
he finally reached the Missouri shore and
made his way* to Charleston, where he
was arrested and brought to this city.
Conley is about fivp feet nine inches
tail, thirty years of age. and has a black
moustache. He says one of his compan
ions was a young fellow', tall and slim,
and the other heavy set. older and with a
red face and sandy hair. Conley e-aid he
had known these men for about a year,
but declined to give their names.

to meet them in St. Louis, when they ar
ranged the job. Since then, he has been

(OIIFINi DEMURS.
Seems n Difficult Mutter to Settle
the St. Lenin Strike.
St. Louis, July 12.—The Citizens’ Com

man, has been actively engaged all day
procuring signatures to the petition urg
ing that the street railway strike he set
tled by arbitration. No expression on
the subject could be obtained from repre
sentatives of the company.
In brief, the company appears to take
the men at their own word, and says:
“Since they have declared they do not
believe a settlement can be effected which
will be permanent as long as the present
officers control the affairs of the com
pany. it is useless to talk about settling
the strike by arbitration or otherwise.*’
The Rev. Dr. W. W. Boyd, through
whose effort* the strike was declared off
July 2, and to whom certain statements
regarding an agreement by the company
to reinstate all of ita employes within
sixty days, were attributed, has written

that he made such statements in an ad

tor’s sudden departure for Germany to
day at the very hight of the season, the
cancelling of all his engagements here
end the recall of the invitations which
ho had issued fo#- house parties on next
Saturday and on Sunday week at Clive
den ore universally regarded as signaliz
ing the close of his social career in Lon
don.
It is openly declared here that the
Prince of Wales, who 1* the supremo ar
biter of English society, has cut him. Ir.
consequence of his insulting treatment of
Capt. Sir Archibald Milne last week, and
I.xMidon Is only too ready to take its cue
in this matter from Its future King, a*
Mr. Astor. In spite of his wealth and of
the meignUJcenca of his entertainments,
has made many enemiea by hla numerous
idiosyncrasies and by his extraordinary
arrogance.
\ot A*k*d fo Queen’s Party.
Confirmation Is given to these stories of
Mr. Astor’s fall from royal favor by the
fact thor his name is conspicuously al>-
sent from the list of gues's evoked ?o rh*
Queen’s garden party at Buckingham
Palace to-morrow, for which over a thou,
sand invitations have been Issued
Sir Archibald Milne. tvho is the chlaf
of one of the oldest families in Scotland,
a baronet and a distinguished officer of
the Royal Navy, in which ha hold* the
rank of captain, after dining with one
ot tlie leaders of Ixmdon society Inst week
was invited by his hostess to accompany
her to Mr. Astor’s concert, to which she
was asked.
£ir Archibald, following in her wake,
was suddenly confronted by Mr. Astoc.
who asked him for hi<*name, declared that
he had not invited him and demanded his
immediate departure from the house, de
claring that he should take steps to pun
lish in his paper, the Pall Mail Gazette,
the intrusion of which Sir Archibald had
!>een guilty. Mr. As tor declined to listen
to Sir Archibald's explanation. A letter
which he subsequently wrote was ignored.
I*n lillnlmml ms Threatened.
On the following day an announcement
appeared in Mr. Aator’s newspaper, the
Pall Moll Gazette, stating that ‘‘Capt.
Sir Archibald Milne, of the Naval and
Military Club, was present a: Mr. As
tor’s concert last night without an in
vitation.”
No such extraordinary paragraph hod
evo* been printed in any London paper
before and the sensation which it created
in society was indescribable.
Mr Archibald at once submitted the en
tire matter to the Prince of Wales, the
president of the Army and Navy Club
and of the Maryborough, to both of* willed
Archibald belongs. Mr. Astor being
one of his fellow members at the Marl
borough.
The attitude of the Prince with regard
to the controversy waa made apparent to
society on Saturday night at the opera at
< ovent Garden when Sir Archibald occu
pied a seat in the box of tlie Prim 'ess of
VN lies, with whom he Is a particular
ravoriie, having: commanded the Osborne
on the occasion of her two long yachting
toms in the Mediterranean.
Nrcliil.nl,l 1,1 llotol new.
It Is \ orv rare that any man not a mem
her of the reigning family of His Royal
hous he and fs seen in the Princess’.* box
at the opera, and Sir Archibald's pres
ence thote tn Saturday night, as well as
thn marked graclousn. ss with which h ■
was treated by both the future King and
Qn en of Or at Britain was noted by the
audience and created much comment.
Society was 'her fore in a measure pre
pared for the disgrace of Mr. Astor, who,
it is said, will he asked to withdraw ftom
the .Marlborough Club for having publish
ed in a newspaper a statement affecting
the good name cf a fellow member.
It is net so much Mr. Astor's action in
demanding the withdrawal of Sir Archi
i'a and irom his house as his publication of
the objectionable paragtaph in the Pall
Mall Gazette that excites the ind gnation
of London society, and the fact that he
availed himself of his ownership of a
metropolitan newspaper to give express
ion to his personal controversies is re
garded as an unpardonable breach of
taste anti breeding.
Other hosts ere Mr. Aster have ejected
unbidden guests, one of the nrest notable
instances having b en that of Lord D rby
who demanded the withdrawal from his
house of the Earl of Roslyn, who had
conio unbidden to a hall given by Lady*
Derby in honor of the Prince of Wales.
Indeed, it is recognized that the prac
tice of people taking along parties of
friends of their own to i ntqrtainments to
w hich they themselves have alone been
Invi e.I has degen- rated into an into era
ble abuse. Heats and hostesses issuing in
vitations for, say four hundred of their
personal frifnds, and who provide supper
for that number, in this way frequently
find the entire arrangements upset and
Their entertainments swamp'd by the
presence of several hundred uninvited
guests—p.o;le who are ejther total strang
e s to than or else personally objection
able.
Too Weak for Sucli Action.
But while nobiftr.en of such assured po
fdtirn in English society as Lord Derby,
head of the historic house of Stanley, can
venture to take a stand against such an
abuse of hospitality, Mr. Asfor has court
ed crr.aln ostracism by following hie ex
ample.
For whatever social success Mr. Astor
hod achieved by the expenditure in Eng
and cf millions of dollars derived from
his American property he may he said to
have forfeited when he surrendered his
citizenship of the United States to be
come a nHtural’zed Briton, transformirg
himself thtreby from a foreigner of dis
tinction into a middle class Englishman
arid as such subject to all the social dis
advantages of the latter.
As an American, he could go every
where As an Englishman of neither birth
nor breeding, the doors of many of the
best house? and c’.ufcs are closed agairst
him now mor ß than ever, since he has
incurred the ill will of the royal family.
Indeed, lie by his attack upon Sir
Archibald Milne, driven a nail into the
coffin of all his hopes of securing an Kng
li-h title of nobility—aspirations of whVh
ho gave evidence only the other day, when
he applied to the Royal Oollfge of Heral
do for the Issue of a grant of armorial
hearing.
—lzor<l Loch, who died recently, had a
career which would have been remarka
ble even without his Chinese captivity
(where he endured torture and only man
aged to evade by fifteen minutes the or
der for his execution issued by the Em
peror himself), for he saw active service
both in the Sikh war and in the Crimea.
Asa Colonial Governor Lord Loch was
distinctly successful. He even manage I
to hold the offices of High Commissioner
and (Jovernor of (’ape Colony without lo*
of official reputation. His purely per
sonal relations with President Kruger
while he was at the Cape were distinctly
kindly.
