In i.lustiation of ills meaning he -i.ed ids audience to consider the differ ed e of opportunity which faces the white bo. who has graduated from college and who returns home to begin his career, and those which faces the negro, who has gri | sated from the same college, and with ev ,-ry educational facility given the white v,,, is simply beyond comparison. The v.: .s boy returns to take a place in the ' .m.unity, perhaps in a business estab- Isfh.d by his father or grandfather, in a Idwytr's or a doctor’s office or in some o.h. 0 .h. r line in which his course is clear. No place lias been created for the negro (.ruduaie, no business has been estab ished lor him. he is not token into the office of - lillslied practitioner, he cannot ob tain a clerkship in a railroad or a com m . cl offioe. He must struggle for a fcoihold. and the struggle is a very un equal one. •■lt is necessary therefore." he said, : n we shouh) give him the education which will enable him to create a busi ness. and to establish o place for himself and [hose who shall come after him. 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 Wi, y The difference between a negro 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 horn**, getting out of the lanes and at i'.vs. and thus decreasing the death rate. “Rr n living, not a dying race,” he urged. One.of the weak points of the colored 1 r . Prof. Washington told them, is that f hr\ have not learned to control their ehildren. “You exercise too little control of them.” said. "You trust them too r and you trust (hem too much. You ’rk everybody's daughter will go astray but your daughter, hut this is not so. our daughter is no better than any oth f| man's daughter. Keep your children nt home when they are not at school, *nd when they finish school keep them employed. If you con put them where ( hy ran learn to work and earn some thing besides do so.

The audience was composed * Trappable element, of colored peo- J7* nd doubtless there were many ° u **ful ones among them who will Kt Prof. Washington'* word! to heart. After the adjournment of the meeting a number of ministers and other prominent colored men met Prof. Washington at the house of Andrew XI. Xtor.roe, on West Broad street, where he was a guest, and some time spent in discussing various points raised by Prof. Washington in his address. Prof. Washington and wife leave this morning at 5 o’clock for Brunswick. 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.

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.

Wilson is chair 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.

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.

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.
