WHATTHEjTUSKEGEE SCHOOL IS
LOING FOIt HIM.
Something About the Institution Which
Aims to Uplift the Black Man—Able
Address of Mr. Washington in the Con
gregational Church Uast Evening.
Almost every seat in the large State
Street Congregationalist cburoh was
occupied last evouing by those who had
assembled to listen to an address by Mr.
Booker T. Washington who is probably
cue of the most eloquent and test known
colored. n?eu in the United States today.
Air. Washington is making a tour of
New England, accompanied by a quar
tette cf students from the Tuskcgee
Normal and Industrial Institute cf
Tuskcgee. Alabama, cf wbioh school he
is the founder and principal, for thy
purpose of Interesting the people cf the
Ninth in the great work he is carrying
on iu uplifting and.improving the condi
tion cf the black men cf the South. His
ad.ire is last evoniug was not only elor
quoi.t, but also intensely interesting, and
instiui.tivf, aud for over au hour, while
speaking, ho held the closest attention of
his henrers.
Rev. Dr. Jenkins opened the meeting
by a brief prayer and introduced to the
audience, the student quartette whioh
sang several negro melodies as they can
only he sung by the colored men. These
students, who wore the neat blue uni
form of the l'uske gee eoliool were all
young men with the etamp cf intelligence
and noble purpose on their brows.
U'alrincr ns nil PTfimnlfl their UtinciDal.
Air. Washington, who is also a compara
tively young man, these students will
devote their lives to instructing and up
lifting their race in the South and one
could well believe in seeing them that
Air. Washington’s claim of having right
ly solved the much mooted negro
problem, is well founded.
Air. Shultz, oue of the students first
addressed the audience. Using the best
language and in a straightforward,
simple manner he told how be came to
go to tho Tuskegee school and what he
has learned since he went there. For two
years Air. Shultz’s father who owned
his own little farm in Amerieus, Ala
bama, was able to pay his son’s tuition
at Tuskegee, but after that the boy had
to work on the Tcskegee farm nnd lotor
during h:s vacations to pay his way. He
has now been at Tuskegee three years and
besides the book learning be bas beeu able
10 acquire the ycuug fellow has been
taught the art cf tailoring and hopes on
t',e completion of his four years at school
to return to Americus and open a tailor
shop. In glowing terms the 6tudent
spoke tf the TuskegeB school, and the
work it is doing in Alabama and pre
dicted that ils graduates will be the sal
vation tf the negro in America.
Air. Washington then addressed the
audience. He is an easy speaker,
thoroughly conversant with his aubjeot
and with a pleasing tuannor. He tal ks
without ref recce to any notes or manu
script, and likes to get as close to his
hoarors as possible tv..’bout any barriers
in the v. ay t f a desk or speaker’s eta nd,
while he delivers his appeal for the men
if ais race with telling force. He said:
In tho thirty years which have elapsed
since tile war, great progress has been
made in carrying on thn work among my
tenpin in the youth. Immediately after
toe war it nan almost Impossible for the
black man to own propeity cf any kind
in the Srutb, while a school house for
then1 education was not even dreamed cf.
Avow the colored men not only own
pro) erty but in some sections of the
South are quite heavy tax payers and the
s- bool house for the negro can ho fouud
nil over tho South with the exception of
three counties in Louisiana, whare til ere
is as yet net a single one. The white
man alike of the Ninth acd youth now
realizo that the so-called negro problem
can alone be solved by the education of
the black men and efforts are cow being
made in this direction.”
Air. Washington contrasted the ways
which were attempted to solve the negro
proloru thirty years ago and those now
recognized as the only solution to this
rnuob mooted question. He said he could
romember when 800 of his people W’re
•hipp-dro Liberia, back to the oouutry
trom which they had been stolen by the
white man. The press and public, when
this emmigratlon took place, proclaimed
that thG negro problem could then be
solved. It was not takon into consider

ation that probably tbe very morning
these 600 negroes set out for Liberia
tberu were us many uegroes born ill tbe
tiouth. Then they said tbe way to solve
the problem was to place all of the
negroes in oue territory and there let
teem grow up a separate and distinct
race. “It is impossible to solve tbe
problem iu that way,’’ said Mr. Wash
ington. “It would require a very J high
wall to keep the negro iu this territory
and a much higher wull to keep the
white man out, especially if gold or
diamonds were to he discovered ia this
negro reservation. You must remember
that the negro raoe was the only race
which ever reoeived a most pressing ana
special invitation to visit this country.
The Anglo Saxons lauded here contrary
to the protest of the leading citizens of
the country. We came here at the invita
tion of the Anglo Saxons amt conse
quently we think we have a better right
here than you have and here we intend
to'stay and help you build the country
up.
The white man was a woise sufferer
from slavery than was the black man.
The negro was taught to worn and did
work and his condition was in a oertain
degree improved. The white man was
degraded by slavery and has not even
yet recovered from the effects of it. So
long as tbe negro is ignorant in the
South so long will the laws be in
terpreted to mean one thing to the white
man and another tiling for the negro.
Lynoh law means for the negro a
physical death. To the white man it
means something more terriblo and that
is a moral death.
Mr. Washington said that he came
here not nlune in the interest of the
Tuskegoe school but ill the interest of tbe
whole South to whom the education of
file negro means salvation. Mr. Wash
ington then told the audience something
about the^chool at Tuskegee. It now
contains over 800 students who have come
to it from 22 states. Last year 400 stu
douts who sought admission were turned
away for want of accommodations for
them. Of the 800 students sixth sevenths
of them board on the school grounds and
by their labor aid in paying for tbeir
board and for maintaining the school,
’t here are 81 instructors in all and not
only are the English studies taught hut
nlso 26 industries and trades suob as car
pentry, brick making, tailoring, black
sn.idling, eto.
Mr, Washington said that he believed
the black man of the South should be
taught how to Improve his own condi
tion. Many of the negroes of the South
living in the Black Belt are as badly off
now as they were during slavery times.
They are in debt to the store keepers and
to tbe owners of tbe cotton, sugar and
rioe plantations and every year since the
war they have been plunging deeper and
deeper into debt. The negro is now
owned body and soul by tbe general store
keeper aud the plantation owner. This
Is ciiiedy brought about by the negro’s
lack of economy and ignoranoe of all that
the term thrift Implies. Tor years they
had lipon ftnrAfl f.ir Hnd had ovarv crnnt.
supplied and then when the shackles ot
slavery were knocked off and they be
came their own masters and were obliged
to provide for themselves they were un
equal to the task.
Mr. Washington went on to state how
be intended by his Tskegee school to
aid the negro in casting off this burden
of debt and becoming in every sense of
tbe word a free man. “It is impossible
to teach and instruct every black man
iu the South all at or.ce," said Mr. Wash
ington. "There are so many of them
and they are scattered over snob an ex
tent of oonntry and surrounded by suah
conditions that to gather them all into
the school house would be a task Impos
sible to perform. Nor is it sufficient, as
some i eople seem to think, to build a
church and give them religion alone.
The negro is naturally a religious being
and is possessed of a deep religious na
ture. It is impossible to make a good
Christian of a hungry man and the negro
is iu need of something beside religion at
present. He should he taught economy,
thrift and industry and this is what tbe
school at Tnskegee is trying to do. We
are educating young men ami women
who will become the leaders of the regro
communities from which they come to
us. We teach them some useful trade
and how to work at it besides giving
them » good education in the Kuglish
branches. When ihey return home they
at once, by example, begin to instruct
their people and thus we reach the wholn
South and iu time will he able to im
prove the condition of our whole people.
Mr. Washington thought that the
relations letwecn the negro and tbe
whiter would he improved and well
settled when business had drawn the two
races nearer together. At present the
negro is the white man’s debtor and
therefore the nogro is despised. If the
negro is taught industry, thrift and
economy and the white man becomes the
negro’s debtor, then the black man will
be no longer looked down upon and will
command more respect and be better
treated because it will be for the white
man’s interest so to do.
At tbe Tnskegee school theie are now
TOO aores under cultivation, and this
farm, worked by the students, is furnish
ing an object lesson to the black man
ns well as teaching him how to farm in
telligently. At the school the students
have also built a chapel with their own
hands. Every brick and every piece of
work io their building has been done by
the students and iu this way many of
them have been taught the art of brick
making brick laying and carpentry, hlr.
Washington said flit snlnvery after all
bad loft a vnluatle legacy behind It as it
bad brought tiie wiiite and black into
business relations, ono with the other.
The blaok man was at one time tils
master of all trades ami the skliled
laborer of the South. But he had nat
held liis own in adnptiug this knowledge
of the useful arts to bis own advantage.
By lack of industry and thrift the negro
had not been able to compete, since the
war, with the skilled laborer of the
North, and bad gradually lost his hold
in all Of the useful arts and trades. The
Tuskegee soaool is trying to win hack
for the negro by educating him, what he
lias thrown away or sllowed to be taken
from him.
The Tuskegee school has 86 buildings,
mostly built by the students, now valued
at $280,000. It has 1800 acres of land, all
of which has utilized in one way or an
other and it costs $80,000 a year to oarry
on the school. The speaker told of some
of the good that lias already I een accom
plished in the Blaok Belt of the South
ny the Tuskegee graduates who, bavo
acted ns leaders and guides to their
people.whereevor they have located.
Mr Washington said that the n3groes
have been wasting tbeir time and energy
in the South in attending political con
ventions and trying to obtain political
power. They begau at the wrong end of
the problem to solve it and they should
now endeavor to rectify this error by
learning how to work and manage affairs
for themselves. And when this is done
the political power will come to them of
its own accord.
The practical question that comes home
to you, ami to me ns a humble member
of on unfortunate race is. bow can we
help you in working out tbe grent prob
lem that concerns 10,000,000 of my race,
mid 00.000.0C0 of yours. We are nere; you
rise a* we rise; you fall as we fall; we
are strong when you ore strong; you are
weak when we aro weak; no power can
separate our destinies. The negro can
afford to be wronged in this country; tbe
white man cannot afford to wrong him.
Tbe negro has been patient under the
wrongs heaped upon him. He has not
andeavored to retaliate by the bomb, as
hHd the oppressed Russian, by dynamite
as have the Irish, or by the tomahawk
as has the Indian, hut by midnight
prayers anil heart rending groauings he
has stood all that has been heaped upon
bim and has never turned upon the cause
of all his misery and oppression. We
come here Into slavery as pagaus and
came out of It Christians, we bad no
language, but la boudage we learned the
noble English tongue, we went iDto
slavery with the chains of bondage on
our limbs, we come out of it with the
ballot in our hands, and as a Yart and
portion of this great republic we intend
to aid you in solving this problem which
has so long bung as a mill stone about
your neck. _

Came Too Bate to Prevent a Panic in a
Bocal Office.
Consternation not to say a panic, pre
vailed* in an Exchange street office,
where a number cf ladies are employed,
yesterday morning. The trouble began
when one of the young women looked
from her work to the floor and saw the
most singular looking reptile imagiua
b!e making towards her at a lively jog.
The animal seemed particularly fitted
for jogging too, for it was blessed with
more legs than some farmers Have hay.
It. wasn’t more than four inches long,
would have been sufficient to form two
or three comic opera choruses.
The woman, when she saw the reptile,
made the best use of the two limbs na
ture had provided for her to get out of
the way, but the bug kept his bearings
well and dodged whenever she dodged.
Some of the young men of the place
finally went to the rescue and with the
benzine can succeeded in laying the
many-footed creature out.
The animal is said to be a bouse centi
