The Darkies Are Debating
This Question.
ARE GROWING EXCITED

Schools Close?Verdict Against
the Traction Company.
Amont: certain of the negro population
Of Vnritia Grove, In Henrico county, con?
siderable excitement Is said to prevail Iti
connection ???th the recent sudden death
Of isti olii colored woman, who, some of
her friends avow, ?vas "conjured" by
evil spirits or evil-minded persons.
The old woman was Aunt Laura Berry,
an estlmnblo old soul of the old school,
h general favolile with blacks nini
whites. She was a slave In ante-bellum
days and still possessed some of that
rare flavor of gentility nnd courtliness,
the product of tlio plantation, but now
ito hard to lind. AU \the people In the
neighborhood looked Upon Aunt Laura
ns a genuini? good-hearted soul. In ?vhum
Jierfcot confidence could be reposed.
' L>nst Tuesday Aunt t.aurn, who wcigh
ed ncat'y 200 pounds, was hanging
clothes on the line In her yard. Sudden?
ly, while her hands were Still In the air,
"lit ?vork hanging n shirt up. she nn
hounced that she had "bruk sometbin'
inside," nnd called upon ono of her chil?
dren to catcli her. She wns Inkcn into
the house mid In a few moments she was
dead.
At Henrico cotirthouso yesterday It
was reported that the old woman bled
to death, and bici] long after sho wns
dead, whllo still In tho coflin. ill fact.
Tho funeral ?vas hold the next day nt
St. James Colored Church. The collln
Blood outside In Ilio hearse while the
service ?vas being conducted.
. Tho peculiarity attending the death of
Aunt Laura lori to the? statement that
ulie wns "conjured." and some of tho
negroes became terrified. The more In?
telligent nrtiong them, of course, hooted
the idea, but the others would not he
convinced, and they aro not yet. . The
rumors gre?v so thick nnd fast thnt a
white resident of Vurlnn Grove thought
it wise yesterday fo call at the court?
house and put the nutTinrltles on their
guard, lie just ?vented io let them
hnow that there wns nothing ntrnngo
about tho woman's death, nnd that there
would be no need of an olllclnl Investi?
gation, which ni'lghi be Instituted If the
ofilccrs heard first of what the darkles
Avere saying;
Practically nil or tho schools in Tuckn

him one of Maryland's most notable men. Mr. Tome, after years of deliberation, decided to found a great

Are CollefioGraduatesSuccessful inLife
It Is woll known thnt Mr. Andrew Car?
negie, nnd other accumulators of enor?
mous fortunes have expressed tho opinion
that tho kind of education normally ac?
quired at universities, ns distinguished
from scientific or technical schools, Is
not conducive to success ln life.? When
cnlled upon to defino their terms, they
generally acknowledge that they have In
vlow the form of success which they
themselves exemplify, Professor Edwin
Q. Doxter, of the University of Illinois,
hns recently undertaken to prove In tlio
Popular Selenco Monthly, that, ovon from
the view-point of pecuniary success, a
college education Is not a handicap. He
recognizes that, to provo his point, he
must take tho men who have most profit?
ed by tholr college opportunities accord?
ing to the academic standard; that Is to
say, the men who, when they graduate,
are accepted us tlio host oxnmplurs of the
outcome of university training. To that
end he has Investigated tho careers of
tho members of tho Phi Rota Knppa So
cloty, which at Harvard, and, we presume
at somo other universities, Is made up of
tlio sixteen or moro men In each class
who have attulnod tho bigho'st academic
distinction, Tlio right of Professor
Dexter's Inquiry is that tho high-grade
man of his college day remains a high
grade man still when put to tho tosts of
