Iudnatrlul Development of the Xegro. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will you kindly allow me space to sup plement the articles in Monday's and Tues day's Star describing the dedication Exer cises of the Manassas Industrial School at Manassas, Va? on Monday last, l^abor day? It was, indeed, an interesting occasion, proving when a woman wills, she can. The woman who wlllel was Jennie Dean, and what she can, or has done, is to raise the foundations of an Institution destined to be a permanent power in the development of Virginia industries, after the thirty years' inertia attendant upon the destruction of the old slave system. Nothing could be more appropriate than that the foremost man of the race, Frederick Douglass, should deliver the oration upon the setting of the foundation of this school of modern Ideas on the first battlefield of the war, where the old regime received the iirst of its death blows. The exercises of the day were under the direction of Geo. C. Round, chairman of the committee of arrangements, whose carefulness of detail made the day con spicuous for its conveniences. Mr. Round is a prominent lawyer of Manassas, who undertook to aid tne enterprise Ihrough personal friendship for Gen. R. D. Mussey, first president of the board of directors, and has continued his interest and faithful services on the merits of the work since the death of Gea. Mussey. Representative E. E. Meredith of Ihe eighth congressional district, whose home is at Manassas, though not recovered from a recent ill ness. made one of the heartiest speeches of welcome heard by any one. "The old com monwealth of Virginia," he said, "welcomes you upon her sacred soil, coming as you do to perpetuate the principles of liberty she loves so well. You have come as friends of the humblest of her citizens, to educate their children for active, Intelligent citizen ship, and as such I welcome you again in the name of the town of Manassas, the county of Prince William, and the com monwealth of Virginia." Cheering and ap plause followed Mr. Meredith as he made his way through the crowd to return home and to bed again. That the colored people have the co-opera tion of their white neighbors in Prince Wil liam county could not be better attested than by the addresses of Capt. R. H. Tyler, an ex-confedtrate soldier, who made the flag presentation speech, and Dr. Clarkson, county superintendent of schools. Both of these gentlemen represent the typical south erner In family associations and easy-going culture, and made stirring speeches, show ing them fully alive in the newest and best educational ldea3 of the day, as well as genuinely encouraging the progress of the negro. But no remarks were more happily receiv ed than were those of Mrs. Orra I,anghorne of Culpeper. Va? herself an ex-slaveholiler. In a sweet and touching way she told of the dear old mammies of stave days, of their affectionate faithfulness to their fos ter children, and of the many tender memories In the hearts of both time could not efface. Her words brought tears to the eyes of some of the "mammies" present, and one near me murmured. "Bless h"r heart, she's the right kind." But, how ever dear those memories, Mrs. Danghorro said, she would not have slavery again, and her pretence was to encourage the In dustrial development of the negro upon the broad and noble lines of individual free dom. The building dedicated Is the gift of Miss Emily Howland of New York state, and will be known as Howland Hall, hav'ng been so named by the board of directors In honor of the donor. JANE E. THOMPSON. Japanese na Gardeners. From a St. Luulx Exrhaige. "The Japanese are expert at gardening, and give such Individual attention to each blossom that they obtain wonderful re sults," said Prof. L. E. Holloway of Wheel ing, who was at the Southern yesterday. "No matter how humble the little home. It Is brightened by a vase, with at least one flower or a spray of autumn leaves In It. Their arrangement of flowers Is always lovely, being models of harmony In form and color. There Is no stiffness, for they try to imitate nature. I examined one rose bush in the process of development. and found that almost every twig was tied with a fine thread and bent in the way It should gro.v. The entire population turn out to honor flowers, and they frequently write poems and tie them to the branches. The Japanese term for picnic signifies 'to go out and see flowers." " Hon to Reform n Man. From the Atchlfon Olol?e. Every woman who "Jaws" a man Is a fool. Women cxnnot control men In that way. An Atchison woman took a wreck of a man and made a good c'tizen out of him. She never spoke a cross word to him. We know another Atchison wife whose hus band was drifting off. She set about to save him She did It, and he loves her now as he should. She never spoke a cross word to him. It Is easy to be a blackguard, but It requires genius to always be a lady. flN MUSICAL CIRCLES (heat Things Arc^ Expected of the lev Tarary Opera Company. ?? I ?In Lolta Mill* Hna Been Enftaged by Seldl mm* Will PI?T ?? Hla Qn?ert Here. Great things are expected of the Tavary Opera Company, which will open Its season In Brooklyn on Monday night. The organ ization Is a particularly strong one, and has been formed by Mr. Charles H. Pratt, who was the acting manager of the late Emma Abbott during her entire operatic career. After Miss Abbott died Mr. Pratt went out of the business and devoted him self to hotel keeping, because he said there was no singer before the public whom he believed possessed the same drawing pow ers as his late star. His hearing of Madame Tavary was an accident, as he was passing through Cincinnati. But, having heard her, his keen Judgment at once recognized in hep the possession of those qualities which would attract and hold the public regard. An Interview with her determined Mr. Pratt to again enter the operatic field, and to surround Madame Tavary with a com pany in every way flrst-class. This he has done, and his organization Includes Helen Vandoehndorf, the well-known contralto; Gullle, the phenomenal tenor; Payne Clarke, the English tenor, who has made such a success In this country; William Mert*?aB, the baritone, and Mr. Shuester, a basso, said to possess a voice of unusual sweetness and power. The cTCTub will be a large one, and will be composed of fresh, young voices, which have been carefully drilled for some time. Not since Miss Abbott's death has there been an English cpera company suitable of producing grand opera up to Ihe standard which :he established. It Is believed that this troupe will fill the void created by her death and the aban donment of her company, and that rhe pub lic *111 have an opportunity of hearing grand opera excellently sung in English, and at moderate prices. Everything is now arranged for a series of concerts in this city by Seldl and iiis ex cellent orchestra, and the lovers of good music may be sure that he v.ill present some excellent programs. He has engaged quite a number of soloists to assist in these concerts, and among the-n Is Miss Lotta Mills, who will play at one of the concerts here. Miss Mills has only recently returned from Europe, where Bhe stu lied for three years under the renowned I^eehitiszky, the teacher of Paderewskl, and her appearance with Seidl will be the tirst opportunity her friends lr. this city will have to determine the excellence of her work. It Is under stood that Mr. Seidl Is inthusl istlc over her playing, and predicts for !>er remark able success as a solo pianist. The Carroll Institute Orchestra Is making gcod headway In Its rehearsals and prom ises to take a high rank among the local musical organizations. President William H. I.epiey is taking a deep interest in the matter and is securing the best talent ob tainable. Prof. Sol. Minster has been en gaged as musical director, and under his baton there can be no doubt of the Im provement of thla orchestra. Mr. Minster had quite a sueceas as an orchestral leader on the road last season and had a good many flattering utters to go out this year. Hut his friends in Washington believed that there was a good field for him in his native city, and so he had concluded to remain here. The development of the Car roll Institute Orcheatra will be a test of his ability as a conductor. This orchestra will give a concert In October, and It Is In tended to present a program that will be unusually attractive. Miss Carrie Cottrell of thl? city, who has been spending the last two months In Lynchburg, Va? aang at the Young Men's Christian Association Hall In that city re cently at an entertainment given by Prof. Eeo Wheat, the well-known pianist. Of Mr. Wheat's excellent1 work It Is, of couree, unnecessary to speak, but It may be stated that Miss Cottrell rang excellently and completely captivated the large audience that was In attendance. Each of her num bers were obliged to lie repeated, and she will always be sure of a warm welcome whenever she visits I.ynchburg again. Dr. E. 8. Kimball, who was so long a resident of this city, and to whose excel lent Instruction a good many singers owe their su?--r-s, has recently returned from a trip to Europe and is now at his home In Baltimore. Mr. T. Williams-Peatman, the English tenor, who made such a favorable Impres sion by his work at the concert at the Academy of Music for the benefit of the fam ilies of the victims of the Knox fire, has de cided to take up his residence In this city. He will be a welcome addition to musicA! circles here. Besides being an accomplished musician and vocal teacher, he Is a gentle man of pleasing address and engaging man ners. It Is probable that he will sing the tenor role In the oratorio of St. Paul, which will be the first production of the Choral Society this season. Prof. Malna,at whose muslcale last spring the third act of "Faust" and the prison scene from "II Trovatore" were so suc cessfully presented, has now In contempla tion the production of "Don Pasquaie," with a cast that shall include Miss Mary Helen Howe, soprano; Mr. W. D. McFar land. t?nor, and Mr. M. 1). Meems, bass. It Is likely that Mr. Malna himself will sing the l?rltone role. This charming opera will not be given as a recital, but with all the accessories of scenery and costume. The last time this oi>era was heard In Washing ton was at the last concert given here by the great tenor Brlgnoll, only a few months before his death. Mr. Malna also contem plates bringing out Florin's "Martha," with Mrs. John Seager, Mrs. Malna. Messrs. McFarland and Meems as the cast. There is forming a ladies' club, which will be limited to thirty, and the moving spirit of which is Miss Hit a de \ ecchi, the daughter of Col. de Vecchi, the object of the members being to perfect themselves in part singing and female chorus work. It will have a social side as well as Instructive work and Its musical course will be directed by Prof. Maina.
