THE MORNING TIMES: TUESDAT, APRIL (5, 1897. K STOP BEEEIK FOB OFFICE Booker T. Washington's Advice to the Colored Youth. SHOULD MAKE OPPORTUNITIES The Best "VVny to Prove Tlmt the yegto Is Xot SUiltlehh. 2Cor Lazy 'Is 'by Each -One Showing What lie Cau Do for Hiaisell I-nrge Audience Killed the Church. When Booker T. Washington was es corted to theplaUorm oft he Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church last night by Rev. F. J. Grimke and Pror. 11. M. Browne, of the Colored High School, he looked pleased at the fcize of -the audience. Every seat in the church was occupied, and there were nearly, if not quite, as many white people us colored ones. The wouieu connected with the church hah placed palms oa the platform in a tat-terul manner, that added greatly to its appearauec. The lecture or Mr. Wash iugtou was. given for the benefit of the Fifteenth Street Prebbyterian Church, and a very handsome bum was realized. Mr. Washington was introduced to the audience by Prof. Browne, who explained that the delay of halt an hour in arriving ut the church wa& unavoidable by Mr. Washington. After the formal intro duction, the lecturer said: The average man ubually lias the idea that ir he were jtibt somewhere else, in another State or city, or in contact with another race lie would succeed, forget ting too often to utilize the loices that are about him and in baud. Ae bad as American slavery was, as great .ib was its curbe to black and white man, we as a lace got one benefit through the providence of God that we should not rail to utilize and take advantage of in our prcbcnt condition. Every large slave plantation in the South wab In a .limited tense an industrial bdiool. It had its com mon farming department, itb carpentry, wheclwrighting, blacksmithing, brick ma bonry, cooking and tewing departments. For 250 yeart God made the Southern white man do business with the negro. If a Southern white man minted a house built or a suit of clothes made he con sulted a negio alout the building of that house ortlie making of those clothes. Thus the two laces got used to doing business with each other. This training and this business contact found us at the close of the war in possession of all the common and skilled labor. "While I would be the last in the slight est degree to seem to apologize for slavery, yet it is safe to say that during slavery we had more colored youths learning trades in one county in the South than there are learning tradeb today in the whole city of Washington. The thing that I wish I could bum into the heads and hearts or my people all over this country is that we do not want to lose this legacy in the form of skilled labor that was purchased and handed downto us by ourfnthereatthe price of 250 years in slavery. We shall lose this element of strength unless we do two things: one is to put more brains and bkill into the common occupations that are about our doors, and the other is to digniry and glorify common labor. We want to put into these industrial occupa tions, it we would compete with the for eigners who are pouring into the South, the highest training of intellect and great est skill of hand. This competition should notbelefttotheignorantortothosemeri'ly with a common school education, but tho'-e educated in universities and colleges should more and more enter industrial life. President McKinley is a gieat and goc-d man, but with all his greatness and good nesss he cannot supply places for one-tenth of those who are knocking at his door. What I would say to the black youth in this respect I would repeat to the white youth: Go somewhere in the South and start an humble business of your own, then instead of having to beg another for office some one will soon be begging you for a position Start a brickyard, a print ing office, a truck garden, a creamery, a fctock farm, a real estate office; become a contractor and builder, an architect, or landscape gardener, and then when Mr McKinley sees that you have made a suc cess of your own business, started in an humble manner, he will send for you and ask you to step up to higher things. We all cannot secure offices under Mr. Mc Kinley, but we all can secure offices undei ourselves. Let us utilize the forces that ure in hand. The best way to knock a man down Is with a fact. If a man comes into our town and says that the negro is shiftless and lazy, let us be able to show him the best farm in the county owned and culti vated by an educated negro; the best saw mill, the best lumberyard, the best row of brick houses, the best gioccry store, the best factoi y, the best machine shop, the best horse and carriage, the best col lege. ' One object' lesson or this kind is worth more to us as a race than all the finespun theories we cau produce concern ing the future possibilities of the negro We must convince our next door neighbor or our worth, and more and more through out the South we are doing it. A few minutes ago I mentioned the im portance of our taking advantage of the forces that are right about us. This we have been trying to do forfiftecn years at Tuskegec, Ala. Starting on an old plantation in a small shanty and church, we have gradually built up by the labor of the students themselves and the help of friends on the outside, an institution that now has property valued at $300,000. On this old plantation there are thirty-eight buildings, large and small, and all but three have been almost wholly erected by the students. We have 1,800 acres of lnnd, 700 acres under cultiva tion, and twenty-six industries arein con stant operation. There are mote than forty wagons and buggies owned and used by the school. There are 52 horses and mules, and in all 4S0 head of live stock. The annual expenses of the Institution are about SC5.000 a year. The students themselves supply labor every year to the amount of $45,000. For example, we have six printing presses in operation and print four newspapers. There are So0 students and eighty-one Instructors. Count ing the families of our Instructors, we have a constant population on our school grounds of over 1,100 people. We not only give Industrial training, but the most thorough literary and religious training in connec tion with it. We are trying here to plant a great object lesson in the civilization and uplifting of the negro, yea, more than this, we are seeking to erect a lighthouse that shall point black men and white men everywhere to a heaven, out of the night and storm and uncertainty of the Ameri can race problem. 1 propose in everything that the black man take his place upon the high and undisputed ground of usefulness, honesty, and generosity in all things, and that he invite the white man everywhere to step up and occupy this position with him, and if the white man in all purls of our country cannot accept this invitation, he will thus prove that this is a white man's problem rather than- a negro problem.

Pickpockets were at work Sunday in the great throngs of people who attended the Metropolitan M. E. Church to see Piesi dent and Mrs. McKinley take their fhst communion in Washington.

COLLEGIANS' GOOD SHOWING Georgetown Played a Snappy, Ag grensive Guiue uutl Gave ,the Big X.eHgtiers an Interesting Argu ment A .Large Crowd Present uud Hooters Were Very Enthusiastic. The plucky 'Varsity boys in blue and gray from across Rock Creek gave the big leaguers a strong argument for three innings at National J'ark yesterday after noon, and though they had to eventually succumb to the oxpeiience, weight, batting strength, and strategy of their veteran opponents, yet they had the pleasure and satisfaction of making them? hustle for every run gained. It was the first time iu five years that clubs representing the capital and the university had met ou the diamond, and naturally a great deal of interest was aroused amoug'the fans. The last game preceding was played in April, 1892, the Senators of that time merely heating the college boys the score standing 5 to -1. Al Maul pitched for the leaguers and in talking of the game he saitl lie nearly tlnew his arm off in holding down the long-haired youngsters. The collegians were accompanied from their bailiwick yesterday by a large retinue or rooters, and they availed themselves of the slightest opportunity to raise a din and make all those strange noises peculiar to the followers and Shunters for a school team. Of course, their encouraging cries were perfectly unintelligible to the legulur dyed-in-the-wool funs, but the enthusiasm was enjoyed, even IT the language was as so much Greek or Hindoo. Things would be going along very quiet when all at once a party of shouters would btart off a lot of fuss sounding similar to a home falling down or the charge or a tribe of Apaches. It was a thoioughly good-humored au dience, and whatever i.angs the George town contingent suffered from the defeat of their favorites was more than counter balanced by theirsplendid showing against the professionals. Had nothing else hap pened McCarthy's single in the sixth aud Reardou's terrific drive to lelt for three bases wouldhave been glory enough. When thib feat was accomplished a hody of howling dervishes, wrought to the highest pitch, could, not have equaled the per formance on grand stand and bleachers. Lungs were strained and hats tossed nl out as so much paper. Even the staid fathers from the university could not refrain from "a bit of approval," and the Georgetown lady fans shrieked and exulted in the way natural to femininity. As to the "Willie boy" squad of 'varsity udmircrs, the ex citement was entirely too drastic, and they fainted away. Liberal doses of soda pop and cigarettes revived them, however, In time to witness the close of the struggle. An unfortunate accident iu the second inning was the only mar to an enjoynble afternoon. The collegians had come In to take their turn at bat, after disposing of the professionals in one, two, three order, and First Baseman Dawson, was up to get his first crack at the bail. Mcjames had pitched two strikes, and for the third cno sent in a fast high ball right over the plate. Dawson thought It would be a curve and before .McJnmes could wain him, he ducked his head directly in the path of the flying sphere. He Tell like u, dead man and was not revived for several seconds. The blow forced him from the game and his place was taken by Smith. Dawson's, injury is notserlous, and barilug a headache and a big bump near the right temple he was able to be around last night and tell how it all happened The battery work of Walsh and Ma louey, the third base play or Mclntyre and the fielding of Kelly In left, were the outstanding features of Georgetowns ex hibition, though it is a difficult nntter to mention the excellence of any one player without giving credit to the team as a wiiole. They played a snappy, aggressive game all the way through, and were not at all depressed nor subdued by the lead of their league opponents. They boys profited to great advantage under the tutelage of Joe Kelly, or Baltimore, and are witnesses to Joe's ability as a coacher. Walsh pitched six innings and then gave way to Clancey, who finished tiie gume. This change, with the replacing of Dawson by Smith after the accident to the former, were the only ones made The big leaguers appeared to feel as If they had somewhat of a contract on bond, and played as If pitted against the leadersintho regular campaign. McJnmes, Swalm, and Ashe officiated on the rubber and McGuire and Farrelldid the receiving. Jimmy made a good showing, the school boys not being able to gather a hit from him during the three innings he faced them. They negotiated with Swaim for three blugles and a triple and connected with Ashe for one base hit, that by Cnpt. McCarthy. Charley ReiHy's fielding continues up to the giltredge standard. Ills catch or Ma loncy's high line drive to third in the sixth clectrifeid the crowd and won the new comer generous rounds of applause. The Senators were blanked until the fourth. Selbach led off with a two-bagger to center and scored on McGuire's hit to right field. O'Brien bunted to first, but Smith mude a bad throw to Fleming to catch McGuire, and the "Old Reliable" traveled to third, and registered run No. 2 a moment later on Cartwright's long fly out to McCarthy. Ou a fieldei's choice of Heilly's tap, O'Brien was forced from Rear don to Mclntyre, and Swalm was letircd from Walsh to Smith.

The Senators and Georgetown will play again at National Park tomorrow after noon. This will bo ladies' day at the park and all fair fans holding complimentary passes will be admitted free -to the grounds and grand stand. The Lafayctie College team is very strong, and in view of the fact the Cath olic University boys, only organized this season, made a superb showing against them yesterday at Columbia Field. Jimmy Mcjames' appearance yesterday was a surprise, as he ""was not expected to reacli Washington until Wednesday. But he was able to getaway from home sooner than anticipated, and made a bee line for "Washington, as he was anxious to get to work in the open air after the seclusion of his months of hard Study at Charleston. Jimmy is one of the most ropular players that wears a "toga," and was1 given a hearty greeting whert he walked out on the diamond to pitch against Georgetown.

The X.ocnl Hoyw Outplayed the Vis itors on All Folnts After the Third -Inning. The ball tossers from Lafayette College Eastou, Pa. , defeated the Catholic Univer sity team yesterday arternoon, at Columbia Field, by a score of 8 to -1, In one of the prettiest games played on local grounds this season. As the score indicates it was a snappy game. The home team, somehow or other, did not pull themselves together until the fourth luning, after which time they clearly outplayed the visitors at every point. At the outset the representatives of La fayettu went in to win and, with a single, a hase on balls, and a scratch home run, by Barclay, marked up three runs. Again in the third inning, with two men out, they managed to add three more to their score. It was just at this time that McTighc, who was doing the twirling for the university boys, called a halt and from this on to the end, mowed down the visitors one after another. In this line he made the record or the game in the fourth inning when, after one man had reached first base, he struck out the next three batters. Jones, of the Lafayettcs, also took a hand in the strikeout feature of the game, having ten deaths at the plate placed to his credit. The Catholio University team showed great improvement since their last appear ance, when they defeated Johns Hopkins, and with a little strengthening of the receiving end of the battery will have every reason to put In a claim for tiie college championship. There is no doubt, however, that the soppy condition of the grounds had much to do with the defeat yesterday. The game was witnessed by n fair at tendance of baseball enthusiasts, notice ihle among which were a large number of the divinity students rrom the Catholic Uni versity. There -were also a number of rooters who accompanied the visitors from Enston. who lost no opportunity to whoop up their boys. The visitors will leave, this morning for Charlottesville, Va., where they will play the University of "Virginia boys three games. They will then return here on Friday and play the Georgetown Uni versity team. The score: Catholic University. ab.u. ji.
