She recommended the training of industrious men and women to! think themselves out of the habits that keep | them under. ‘To train them, id Miss Scho- field, “means to make of them more self-re- hant and self-thinking men. It is to lay a foundation upon which to build a better future. ‘Yo do this requires tact, patience and a large missionary spirit. A young man of twenty- three may have much to form or work at a forge, but he only counts ha!f his value until his in- dustrial powers are trained and disciplined by waking in him the divine blessing of grasping responsibility. The brain of the masses as yet has only grasped two facts, the right to vote and an indefinite idea of the value of educa- | tion. Party politics has used one, industrial training combined with book learning will de- yelop and strengthen the other.

Teach them the beauties of home life. Slavery destroyed the elements of home. Freedom must renew them. “Industrial schools area beginning. They are not enongh. Let one earnest woman go into any small village and while the muther is out at work in the kitchen or the fields teach the older children how to take care of the younger. train them in ways of right living, how to cook | simple food well, to keep the house and family | clean and the other virtues of home life. She will have a higher influence for good on future generations than any pulpit orator or brilliant lawyer. Miss Schofield also spoke of the good effect of educ Sh aid that one of the crying veds of the race was a better marriage system. She closed her address with a brief account of the work dome by the Schofield industrial echool. A disenssion on the two papers was then par- ticipated in by Dr. C. B.

Learning English by means of English was his way of solving the difticulty, Mr. H. P. Montgomery. one of the supervis- ing principals of the public schoois of the District, took as the subject of his paper “How to solve the problem.” He said: “The future of the negro in this country is a ques- tion of great concern to every body but himself who is ready to do his whole duty according to the light granted him and trust in God for sults. The so-called race question is not a national question, but is limited to a class wh ouls are not broad enough to include the whole of God's family. The negro has been | more oppressed, degr and discriminated | against than any other race in the history of the world, yet he has been patient and forbear- ing to a ent that is umazing even to his oppressors. ‘Though denied the civil and | political rights guaranteed to him by a free government, he has progressed, ever trusting an the God of his persecutors and submitting | with the fortitude of a Christian. We have our schools, churches and courts, our wealth | by the millions, and yet_as compared with the | other race we are poor. ignorant and degraded, the product of a system to. which we were | forced to submit. Our character was built by | * people who are amazed at its utter worth- lessness, and are now trying to export it to the darkness of benighted Africa, “That we are multiplying in numbers much faster than we are increasing in intelligence is painfully true to those who realize the dangers that may come from so large a mass of iguo- rant voters. This government is founded on | intelligence. Ignorance is its foe. Our states- meu realize this and have exhausted every con- stitutional means to avert the danger and are now groping in the dark and uncertain field of theory. Expatriation has been proposed, but as it takes two parties to complete a contract, and the negro wisely declines to be one of them, the proposition is « failure. ‘The white Face must meet the issue face to face and ac- cord to the negro the God-given rights which | belong to him. Let the white race remember that just in proportion as they degrade the negro they degrade themselves, THE MISTAKE MADE. “Exigency emancipated the negro and con- ferred upon him citizenship and the ballot. Freedom to him in those days meant idleness and ease. He did not know freedom is the pro- daet of earnest. faithful toil. The responsibili- ties of citizenship were to him a biank.

The white race want to deal with him not as aman but as anegro. If he is to be converted and brought iuto the church he must be converted and brought into the col- ered church asacolored man. If he is to be saved from the terrible woes of intemperance he must be saved as a colored man, and if he 1s | been shot dead while to be educated he must be educated asa col- ored man. In short he must live asa negro, die asa negro and be buried asa » negro burying ground. that way I prefer not tobe savedatall. The terms of salvation are too narrow, too| gold. There are always rows on boat-race night, and last night was no exception to the rule.

A man who would accept sal- vation on such terms is not worth saving. “The negro is censured for his shiftlessness and want of energy. In this he is like the white man of the south, who for nearly two hundred and fifty years was his greatexemplar. Wherever the uegro has had opportunity he has ®mproved himself. His courage has been tested on the battle-field and his intellectual owers in the best institutions of learning. Ermanci ‘tion was a cruel, heartless and selfish act on the part of the government. The negro was emancipated not because it was just and right but j sac the nation needed him in the hour of distress, The government pleaded with its rebellious sons to lay down their arms and slavery should not be molested. ‘The race question is merely how to make the white man honest and just with the negro. We cannot look to Congress for such assistance. Congress may spend millions annually on rivers and harbors, on ships and forts, but nothing to eradicate ignorance; nothing for school houses, which, in the words of Horace Mann, are ‘the bie, apg line of fortification.’ In the schools will be found the nation’s greatest strength and safeguard. THE BUSINESS OF TEACHERS. “It is not our business as teachers to develop lawyers and doctors, but to develop manhood and character—the material of which men of all professions are made, To educate the head alone is orly to muke a one-sided machine with increased power for harm. Man’s three- fold natnre must be developed simultaneous! as otherwise there will be deformity of ch: acter—more to be deplored than deformity of the body. We have given too much time to the higher education and not enough to that which quips for the actual duties of life. The negro is doomed for the present at least to the humbler pursuits. Few avenues are open to him, and it they were he is unable to compete with those specially trained for the calling. He 1s not a skilled laborer and hence cannot be classed as such either as a laborer or as an i dividual. Time was in the south when he was the builder, blacksmith, shoemaker and tailor, but with emancipation he left those callings for the corrupt field of politics, where he has been used, abused and dropped. NO MECHANICS BUT MANY LAWYERS. “We seldom see a good colored mechanic, because the men who could successfully engage in these trades have left them for the profes- | sions, where in most cases they have proved eminent failures, As educators our great mis- take has been the attempt to educate from the top downward. We have been trying to doa work that should be left to another generation of teachers. It takes along time to lay deep and well the broad foundation on which the destiny of a race is built. Educate the colored man from the bottom upward. Train him to believe in the dignity of labor. Develop in him business capacity and integrity. Stop building universities and establish manual training schools, in which he may learn the art of producing at the smallest cost of labor and material. Build agricultural colleges. Teach our boys to raise more corn and cotton to the acre than their white neighbors and they will solve the vexed race problem.” deisel chr PELTED WITH DECAYED EGGS. A Young Woman of Long Branch the Victim of an Assault. Miss Lizzie Vannote, the twenty-year-old j daughter of C. J. Vannote, is said to be one of | the belles of North Long Branch.

With cries of alarm and with her dress dripping with a malodorous liquid she ran screaming to her home. A sharp search was instituted for Miss Van- note’s assailants, the names of many of whom have been learned.

The west end of London is in an uproar. At the pation of the visit of the students from At the Empire about 10 They soon against Cambridge, and then a free fight en- sued and wild scenes were enacted. Glasses from the bars were shied all over the place. Sticks were broken over heads and there was a general melee. The police were called in and the students joined together and charged the common foe. Sixty persons are reported to be seriously in- jured and two policemen, it is feared, are fatally hurt. The inspector of police was called in to assist. He locked the front gates and de- termined to take all the rioters into custod: Women in the audience fainted and many we hurt and carried onto the stage. The perform- ance was stopped, the curtain lowered and finally the police overcame the students, many of whom were arrested. Among the injured, it is said, were the son of a prominent lawyer, both of whose legs are broken, and the young earl of Dudley, whose arm was broken in the scrimmage. The Americans in London won heavily on the result of the boat r: SULLIVAN AFTER JACKSON. The Champion Ready to Make a Match With the Colored Australian. John L. Sullivan is now ready to make a match to fight the Australian colored cham- pion, Peter Jackson, and he is willing to listen to any proposition which comes from the Cali- fornia Athletic club, “Iam free to talk about a fight with Jackson now,” said Sullivan, “asI consider my little affair with the Mississippi authorities practi- cally settled, Ihave made up my mind to en- gage in but one more fight, aud Peter Jackson will be my opponent if the California club will put up enough money. When I said some time ago that I would not fight Jackson for less than a 325,000 purse Ladded that if he was content to fight winner tuke all I would be ).000 purse, and I will not fight for less than that sum. I will not meet Jackson for less than 25.000 a side, and if he desires it I will make the stake $25,000 a si for I know I can get backing to that amount.” In answer to « question Sulhvan said he woald never fight under London rules again. “I've had enough of London rules in this coun- try,” said the champion,, “and I'm satisfied that it isn’t profitable to break law: It seems almost incredible, but 1 actually lost money by the Richburg fight, besides ‘the unpleasant thoughts about the possibility of spending a year ina southern caboose.

AMONG THE BALL TOSSERS, LENT ALL THE YEAR ROUND. Reviewing the Situation From a Wash-/| Cheap and Small Meals for Newsboys DEAFNESS AND CATARRH ington Standpoint. The base ball cranks of Washingtom were yesterday treated to an inflation of hope and were then dropped back into the old rut of be- ing satisfied with half loaf. The story that came from Columbus in the morning to the ef- fect that the local team was to go into the American association acted as a stimulant, but the dispatches in Tur Star last evening from Louisville and Toledo showed very conclu- sively that there was “nothing in it,” and the mark of the prevarication was thenceforth stamped across the lower left-hand face of the story. We are in the Atlantic association for the season of 1890, and we shall undoubtedly be one of the faithful few to finish. President Young said yesterday that he had no doubt the Atlantic folks were in to stay this year, and that if the present eight clubs start off well they will doubtless finish. The association, with Washington and Baltimore in the ranks, is in better shapo than ever before, and with the possible exception of Wilmington and Newark ‘alt the clubs are strong ones. This much is certain—the Washington pescee will be treated toarelatively better all this year than they have been for some | time. Perhaps the standard of the games will uot be so high, and there may not be as many “star” cities or “star” players on exhibition here, but the tug for place will be stronger be- | canse of the close matching of the teams, and there should be just as much interest in the games to the majority of the patrons as if there were such cards here as “Anson and iis colts, the ‘$20,000 batter, “Rowdy Buck Ewing,” or “Gentleman Jack” Glasscock. The proximity of Baltimore ought to lend a good dea! of inter- est to the contest, as the chances are even that the championship of the association will lie be- tween these two cities. , That a first-place race in a minor league ought to be quite as exciting as a tail-end chase in a major organization, THE LOCATION OF THE GROUNDS. A good many growls are being heard as to the distant location of the new grounds. These are all coming from folks who live in the ex- treme eastern section of the city, whose num- | bers at a ball game could be very well judged last year by a glance at the streets jeading | from Capitol park after a game. The great tide of travel of those going home from the game was to the west. If folks were able to go from Georgetown and back again to sce losing games day after day last year then some ofthe eastern growlers ought surely to be quite as willing to make an occasional trip to Stand Pipe park in order to get a glimpse at winning contests, The new grounds will have a seating capacity of about 4,000, one-fourth of which will be in the covered stand. ‘he bleacheries are of an improved pattern, on the style of the Phila- delphia stands, only a man on the top seat not quite able to “reach up and grab a cloud, as one in a similar position in the City of Broth- erly Love is said tobe. The seats are some- what narrower than before and are raised from the foot rests, so that a person sitting on a bleaching board will not feel that he is being used as a door mat or a rug all through a game. The covered stand, or pavilion, will be quite as high as the old one, although but one story in height. On the root will be three boxes—two, one on each end, for special guests and one in the center for the representatives of the press. | Entrance to the grounds will be made ut the northwest corner of the square through three turn-stiles. The pavilion will be entered di- rectly from the street, with separate gates for the stands, NOTES. Capitol park on Saturday, Once more the song of the turnstile will be heard in the land. All the men are here but Gleason and O’Brien. The former has sent for a ticket. Boyle wanted 21,500 bonus and $1,000 in- crease to play in New York. The New York club willsign Paul Hines if he is reasonable in his terms. The Chicago players will go through to Hot Springs, where they will spend a couple of weeks in April. Eurouto Anson will play in all the principal cities. Manager Chapman's rules require the Louisvilles to report at 10 a.m., to retire at 11 p.m.,to keep sober and to behave like Ken- tucky gentlemen. He declares that there are no contradictions in the rules, There is a family of five small kittens in Mr. Hewett’s office. Stover, the deaf-mute center fielder, insists that they be reared as mascots for the club. Maloney, the pitcher from Dallas, promises tobe another Gilmore at the bat. He stood next to last in the Texas league in batting last ear. , By the way, Gilmore is at work on the new grounds as a carpenter. He would like to play ball this year and it 1s understood that he is making the home management flattering offers for a contract. “J. Palmer O'Neill says the lawsuits have cost the league from 10,000 to #12,000,”—Philadel- | phia Inquirer. ‘The dropping of Washington and Indianapolis cost about 80,000 more. The league cannot have much of a surplus. ‘There will be very few home run hits over the fence this year. The left fence is at the end of the square and the right is a longer dis- tance off than before. Ted Sullivan says that Whistler will be the only man to do the act.

Mr. Beach Shoots at One—The Thief Secured His Plunder, but Left a Shoe. Hyarttsvitie, Mp., March 27. About 4 o'clock this morning Mr. Charles E. Beach, who is employed in the Bureau of En- graving and Printing in Washington, was awakened by hearing a noise in his house, which aroused his suspicion that it was made by a burglar. A moment later he saw the form of a man in his room and made a grab for the quick for him, and, after making a lunge at him with some instrument, which inflicted a ; Painful wound on his hand, fled. Mr. Beach was armed with a “44” shooter and fired at the retreating man, The bullet evidently did not take effect, for it passed through a door leading from one room to another and could not be found. It might have fallen into the burglar’s | pocket like one of the bullets tired by Lee Quong, the Chinaman, at “Black Tom” in this city last Sanday night. Before Mr. Beach could get another shot at the fugitive he was alarmed by screams of mur- der from Mrs. Beach above and, thinking a pal of the robber might have ma stairs, ran hastily up to her room, the bur; in the meantime escaping with his booty. r The rooms below were found in a state of great confusion, drawers having been pried open and | articles of all kinds were strewn about. When the house was examined it was found that the burglar had opened all of the doors | down stairs to have plenty of exits in case he | was detected, ‘The thief left his shoes behind him but carried away Mr. Beach's trousers and | vest that were left hanging on the bedpost when the owner of them retired for the night. In the pockets of the articles of clothing was a | handsome gold watch and chain and a pocket book containing $21 in cash. In the dining room the burglar had piled up a quantity of silverware preparatory to taking it cway, but he left so suddenly that he did not have time to carry it off. He did not, however, drop the trousers and vest, Mr. Beach will turn the shoe over to Sheriff Beall as the only possible clue to the discovery of the burglar. | The residence of Dr. Byington, in the same | part of the village, was also entered at about the same hour and a valuable overcoat was taken, B.

In point of fact, it may be truthfally said that it is without an equal in this respect any where in the world. These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on exch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tur Stan on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circu- Jation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2. The Stae’s circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily | papers published in the city added te gether!! 3. The Star has a larger and tulle: circulation the city where printed im proportion to reading and purcha> ing population, than any other new= Paper in the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest reguar and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper in the United States !!!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: PAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87-88-89, Fee...22,020 24,321 26,299 27,191 29,200 MAR...25,549 23,594 26,009 27,490 34,766 APk...22,572 24,727 25,575 27,166 29,852 May. 22,474 24,359 25,742 26,722 29,616 JUNE..21,933 23,902 25,116 27,453 30,173 SULY..21,406 23,186 24,570 26,363 29,650 AUG.. 21,445 22,364 24.559 25,521 25,595 SErT..21,033 22,302 24,905 25,324 28,475 Oct...21,497 21,701 24,807 25,946 30,329 Nov...22,049 23,651 25,697 2SS14 31,053 DEC...23,000 24,687 26,466 26,752 31,653 Av'ge.22,123 23,682 25,484 27,082 30,090 Increase ....... 1,558 1,803 1,598 3,008 Of this remarkable average aggregate of 30,090 copies circulated daily, no more than 1,102 copies are sent out of the city by mail, and 1,106 go to suburban places, by express, railway trains, etc,, leaving as a net cipculation an the city proper the PHENOMENA. PRO- PORTION of 928; PER CENT, or AN AGGRE-« GATE of 27,882 copies! Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, ond by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tae Stan a distinctire and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pure chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. ‘This is no idle boast on tho part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MO) PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tae Sran’s advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- | verse claims and pretentiouscompetition, The figures following tell the story on this point: | NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS /RINTED 15 1885-86-87-88-80, 1886. 1887. 3,200 3,615 3.064 3,817 3.806 4,669 4,355 5,475 4,197 5,395 3,938 4,522 3.235 3,38t 2.882 3,170 4,208 4,517 4,879 5,313 4,230 5,038 ToTal 41,499 45,910 54,038 54,501 €3,522 But it is not alone in numbers that the great 1ss9. GREPERETEEY) ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns in in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included im ite patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say thet, im proportion to the extent and high charactet Of its circulation, Tar Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereia_ made can be abundantly verified.
