Importance of the Movement—Sym- pathy of Those’ Who Have the 1 Interests of the Race at Heart. a Special Correspondence of “The Evening Star. MANASSAS, Va., September 3, 1894. ‘The morning trains brought a large num- ber of distirguished visitors to Manassas today to take part in the flag raising and dedication of the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youths. Among those who came were Frederick Douglass, George G. Round, Congressman HB. E. Meredith, H. M. Clarkson, M.D., Rev. M. A. Credit, Prof. John R. Clifford, Prof. H. P. Mont- gomery, James H. Bradford, H. E. Baker, Miss Jane E. Thompson, Miss Jennie Dean, Prof. W. 8. Montgomery, Rev. M. D. Will- iams, Capt. R. H. Tyler, Mrs. Orra Lang- horne, Mrs, Gen. Mussey and daughter, ‘Thos, E. Taylor, mayor of Manassas; John R. Tillett, E, E, Blossom, A. H. Roseberry, Rev. U. 8. A. Heavener, Rev. J. 8S. West- cott, J. W. Leedy, Prof. E. Bauder. The party proceeded to the grounds, situ- ated about a mile from the town, compris- ing 100 acres of excellent and well-situated jand. On this a substantial building has been erected, 1d the school will be opened on the 2d of October, with Prof. John R. Clifford of Martinsburg, W. Va., as princi- pal. This enterprise has recetved substantial help from the benevolent of the north, and is destined to do an important work in the elevaticn of the colored youth of this sec- tion, It is managed by a competent board of trustees of both races and sexes, who have shown great intelligence and devotion in their efforts for the school. There {s still great need of contributions of tools, furnishings, roney, &c. The Exercises. The introductory address was made by Representative E. E. Meredith, who wel- comed the visitors on the part of Mayor Taylor and citizens. As the speaker was just recovering from a severe throat trou- ble he made a short but ringing address. ‘Then followed a beautiful ceremony of rais- ing the national flag on a pole in front of the building. It was conducted by Chap- lain James H. Bradford of Washington, one of the trustees. He said that God meant it for good that the colored people were brought to this country. He exhorted allegiance to the flag and then introduced Capt. R. H. Tyler, who presented the flag on behalf of Miss Jane E. ‘Thompson of Fauquier. Capt. Tyler gave a happy address, in which he said: “We meet here today irrespective of ‘creed or color’ to give our encouragement and indorsement to an enterprise that enlists every sympathy, for until we utterly ignore and repudiate the Fatherhood of God we must accept, as its inseparable concomitant, the brother- hood of man.” The: flag was received by Rev. Marshall Williams, one of the active promoters of the enterprise, and it was raised by Miss Jennie Dean, the originator of the school. As the beautiful emblem ascended to its mooring the audience cheered and the select guartet choir from Berean Baptist Church of Washington rendered “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean.” Educating the Segroes. The raster of ceremonies, Prof. H. P. Montgomery of Washington, introduced Dr. H. M. Clarkson, superintendent of schools of Prince William county,‘who delivered a welcome address, in Which‘he reviewed the past conditions in the south as touching negro education. indorsed industrial education as the great negd of the negro. He said the best infotmed southern white men were agreed that the negro must be educated, and the frienils of the colored men saw the necessity of providing industrial training for them. “It takes not the eye of a prophet to see in the coming centuries a thrifty, industri- ous race of people, who were once in bond- age, living in quiet and in peace with their neighbors, or to recognize the fruit of their labor in the busy hum of factories, and the machinery of mills, with schools and churches of their own dotting the landscape with neat cottages, surrounded by inviting gardens, and bordered with orchards of hanging fruit without; whilst within may be seen that greatest of prizes to the poor man, the industrially educated wife, trained in those arts which will enable her to be a helpmeet in all things to her husband, which will teach her how to select good food and to cook it wholesomely, how to clothe her husband, her children and herself, to teach her sons and her daughters to be wise, useful and virtous, and to receive help fro! them in return—in short, to banish the evil and the gloom of the ignorant and the vicious household, and to let in the sun- light of an educated home circle.” He was followed by Prof. Montgomery, who gave the history of the enterprise, and introduced Mrs. Jennie Dean, a colored worker, and Miss Jane E. Thompson of Washington, a white lady, whose interest and help have crowned the enterprise with success. Mr. Frederick Douglass was introduced as the idol of his race, who had come up to celebrate the anniversary of his escape from bondage, fifty-six years ago today, September 3, by speaking on this occasion, He gave an account of his experiences in that momentous epoch in his life, dwelling facetiously thereon, Then followed a pow- erful plea for the fullest educational, civil and political freedom of the American negro. Mr. Douglass was very happy in the delivery of his address, and his au- dience frequently applauded him. Letters of Commendation, The following letters were received by Mr. Geo. ©. Rounds, the chairman of the local committee: Dr. Curry, general agent of the Peabody and Slater funds, writes: “I am glad you are encouraged to do more permanent and nobler things. Every day adds to my conviction of the import- ance of combining practical industries or manual training with our school work.” Senator Hunton thanks the committee for their polite invitation, and expresses his fear that his wife's health may prevent his attendance, Superintendent Sampson of the Glen Al- len Industrial School, near Richmond, con- gratulates the committee on the splendid progress the institution has made. President Smith of Randolph-Macon says: “The work you propose to inaugurate is recognized by all thoughtful citizens as of great value, and I hope you may be able to carry it through to a success, even be- yond your expectation.” Chas. E. Nicol, circuit judge-elect, writes: “The objects of the Industrial School, as I understand them, have my sympathy, and 1 wish it success and prosperity in its ef- forts to bestow on the colored people the blessings of an education.” Mr.. John E. Massey, superintendent of public instruction, writes “Please express to those who assemble my regret that a previous éngagement pre- vents me from being there, Industrial education will do more for colored youth than any other education they can recetve. I am at xious to Introflucejindustrial teach- ing in all our schools, both white and col- ored. Hundreds of yo! leave school but little better qualified for the practical duties of life than they wi before enter- ing it You are on the sight line and I wish you abundant si e Miss. Clara Barton}, president of the American National Cross Society, writes: “I am greatly interested ment for colored youfhs, Which cannot fail to bear its fruits where most needed. You perhaps .are aware that I have but recently closed the largest ang most difficult relief work in the history 6f the Red Cross, 90 per cent of the religf being among th colored people, and we count the industrial instruction given them as of greater value (aside from the actual saving of life) than the material relief afforded them. “Your institution has another deep in- terest for me, from the fact that the first president of your board was my honored and jamented friend, Gen. Mussey, who was also the first and valued attorney of the organization over which I have the honor to preside.” Col. L. B. Dudley, manager of the Citi- zens’ Law and Order League of Massachu- setts, writes: “I am thoroughly interested in the good work which ycur school is doing, as I have endeavored to show by my efforts in the past, and it would give me great pleasure 0 be present and witness the exercises at- tendant on the dedication. I wish it had been in my power to do more to ald you in your efforts, for I feel it is important the whole country that the colored yout! of the south shall be instructed 1: those arts and industries which will qualify ern in your move- for citizenship, and for the proper exercise of the rights appertaining to freemen of the republic. “I feel that the whole country is indebted to you end Miss Thompson and all others who have given so much effort to bring about the education of the colored youth in the south, especially upon industrial lines. I shail always be glad to aid you in your efforts in any way in my power. My only regret is that I am unable to contribute financiai aid more liberally.” Mrs. Orra Longhorne was introduced and made a practical address. She was followed by Pref. Clifford, the principal-elect, who proved by his address the wisdom of his selection as the head of the school. —_— > STOCKHOLDERS DISAGREE. A Lively Time at a Meeting Held Last Night. ‘There was a meeting of the stockholders of the People’s ‘Transportation Company last evening at Grand Army Hall. The company is composed of several hundred shareholders in this city, Norfolk, Va., Portsmouth, Va., Newport News, Va., and other points, being organized last Decem- ber. Recently there was considerable dis- satisfaction expressed concerning the man- agement of the company and the disposi- tion of its funds, end a committee was ap- pointed to investigate matters and report to the meeting. It was expected that this report would be made last evening, and some two hundred or more of the stock- holders were present when President Pat- terson called the meeting to order. After prayer had been offered by the Rev. Mr. Lee, President Patterson explain- ed that on the 24th of last month there had been filed in the custom house at George- town a bill of sale of the steamer Lady of the Lake to the company. The price agreed upon was $40,000, and of that amount $18,- uo had been paid, leaving a balance of $22,000, which balance bore interest, and must be paid within a year from the 24th of last month. The boat was now being run regularly by the company between here and Norfolk, and the line was doing an excellent business. Mr. Patterson declared that there was not the slightest ground for fault-tinding, and explained that the board of directors had thrown open the books of the company to the investigating commit- tee, but that the committee had not been able to find out anything. ‘The Rev. Mr. Lee remarked that he be- Neved only God Almighty himself could understand the books. The remark was greeted with shouts of laughter and ap- plause, and then commenced a scene of confusion, which continued without inter- ruption for about two hours. One faction, which seemed to be led by Mr. M. Wilson, criticised the president and board of direc- tors of the company unmercifully, intimat- ing that the affairs of the company were in anything but a satisfactory condition, and asserting that they were endeavoring to keep the stockholders in ignorance of the facts. Points of order, privileged questions and motions of various kinds came so thick and fast that firally it became necessary for the presiding officer to appoint a ser- geant-at-arms to restore order. Mr. Ferdinand Lee of Norfolk stated that he had a report of the investigating com- mittee, and wished to read it, but finally decided not to do so then. At length a motion was carried calling for a meeting of the stockholders in this city next Monday evening, when the investigating committee will be asked to make its report. That was satisfactory to everybody, and had the effect of inducing many who were holding back to step up and pay their as- sessments. ——>_— WAR AND PEACE. It Was Saccessfully Presented at the Base Ball Park. Nearly 5,000 persons in Washington wit- nessed an elaborate an] artistic portrayal of-a battle scene last evening, in addition to hearing one of the greatest bands on earth and a well-trained chorus. The musi- cal military spectacle, “War and Peace,” as given at the National Base Ball Park by Inres and his Thirteenth Regiment Band from New York, Mr. DuShane Clow- ard’s chorus and a portion of the District of Columbia National Guard, was in every sense of the word and from every stand- point a success, Not a large crowd was in attendance at the afternoon exhibition, but the right per- formance attracted the masses. The cable and horse cars were crowded in sardine style, and long before 8 o’cléck the park re- called memories of an opening day of the base ball championship season. The left- field bleachers were crowded, the grand stand was four-fifths filled, and a goodly number were forced to resort to the right- field bleachers, which were across the field from the band. Numerous are electric lights furnished the necessary illumination. The band wag stationed on the field at the eastern end of the grand stand, and directly facing it was the chorus, seated in the open chairs. Just south of the home plate was Innes’ battery of light artillery, consisting of four pieces, and on a line back of second base eight tents had been erected. A flagstaff, bearing the national colors, stood in the center, Early in the evening the military companies maenuvered about the field, add- ing further realism to the scene. The spectacle was preceded by a concert by the band, which was highly enjoyed and brought forth numerous and persistent encores, Innes’ new “Chronicle-Telegraph March” made a hit, which was strength- ened when the composer reached for his trombone and led a repetition of the num- ber. ‘Amid appropriate vocal and instrumental music and the booming of cannon, the troops, under the direction of Capt, Harry Walsh, formed in battle array, advanced and retreated; one side was finally re- pulsed, leaving alleged dead and dying on the field, who were properly cared for by an ambulance corps, under Dr. Weaver. The popular airs of the north and south were contrasted. Amo! the numbers rendered were “The Soldier's Fareweil,” “Dixie,” “My Maryland,” “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp,” “The Vacant Chair’ and the “Star Spangled Banner.” The soloists of the evening were — Martha Garrison Miner, Miss Louise Enge! Mr. C. G, Ferguson and Mr. Bowman Ral- ston. The voice of each was heard dis- tinctly in all portions of the large grounds and created much enthusiasm, all being forced to respond to encores. Mr. Fer- guson’s song, “Patriots, Arouse,” has be- come quite popular, and is a stirring and effective composition. “War and Peace” is a spectacle seldom equaled, and that it was thoroughly en- joyed and highly successful in Washington is beyond dispute. It was given under the auspices of the Columbia Typographical Union, No, 101. ———— WITH MASONIC CEREMONIES, ‘The Corner Stone of the People’s Con- gregational Church Lad, The laying of the corner stone of the Peo- ple’s Congregational Church, on the south side of M street between 6th and 7th streets, took place yesterday afternoon promptly at 4 o'clock. The corner stone was latd with Masonic ceremonies, by Grand Master Henry Coleman and other members of the Masonic fraternity of the District of Columbia. Hours before the ceremonies were ex- pected to take place crowds of colored peo- ple began to assemble, lining the sidewalks on both sides of M street between 6th and 7th streets, and the large space in front of the chapel. A stand had been temporarily erected near the sidewalk, where lemonade, cake, ice cream, sandwiches and fruit were for sale at reasonable prices, the proceeds of which were for the benefit of the church. Shortly before the hour the ceremonies were designated to take place the Masonic fraternity, headed by the National Military Band of this city, reached its destination. Rev. 8. N. Brown conducted the religious services, and the children of the Sunday school sang several hymns. Prof. Isaac Clark delivered an address, in which he outlined the growth of the church, and what was hoped for in the future. The present edifice is to be but a part ofa ¢ plan of a church, which 1s estimated cost upward of $100,000, A Bad Trio of Girls. Mary Wheeler, Rhody Washington and Mary Marshall, three tough looking colored girls, were in the Police Court this morning, charged with being loud and boisterous, and also profane at a corner stone laying on M street yesterday afternoon. The Wheeler giy pleaded not guilty, but the other two itted that the charge against them was true. However, after Judge Kimball had heard all sides of the story, he fined Mi | rage $10, Miss Wheeler $5, and ‘iss Washington's personal bonds, THE SUPREME LODGE Stil? Debating the New Code of Statutes Today. What the W: ington Representatives Say in Regard to the German Question. The session of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, was continued this ferercen, There was a full attendance of representatives. The business under con- sideration was the same as that of yester- day: the ccde of statutes which is proposed by the constitutional commission. This is being debated by paragraphs, and the work of adoption will not be completed, certainly today, and probably not for sev- eral days. This work will also be pursued during the afternoon session. There is a great deal of earnest discussion within the Precincts of the Butlders’ Exchange, but very little speechmaking. There is a business Lke interchange of ideas. The representa- tives with whom The Star man talked said that everything was progressing smoothly and sat:sfactorily. The code of statutes as recommended was sure of adoption. There was no wrangling. This would be postpon- ed till the troublesome questions of the German ritual and the admission of liquor people were reached. Here the trouble weuld begin and the dangerous parts in the course of the convention would be struck. The German Question. The representatives from the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia, Knights of Py- thias, to the Supreme Lodge, are opposed to the stand taken by Supreme Chancellor Blackwell on the German question. This Question is so well understood that a re- statement of it now would be unnecessary. Messrs. Richard Goodhart and A. F. Med- fcrd think that the German lodges already organized, and which were chartered with the German ritual, should be permitted to vse it. Twenty years ago, when the Knights ot ‘was a comparatively frail or- der, a bid was made to the Germans. They came to the rescue and helped make the great order what it now is. They were chartered with the right to use their ritual in their own language. There are, com- paratively speaking, but a few of these lodges pow in existence. At the convention the German lodges, and the friends of these lodges declare that it was done in a spirit of the rankest ingratitude. The Germans came to the order when it vas weak. Now that it is strong, the friends who had stood by it in its infancy and weakness were to be thrown over simply because of a purely sentimental objection to them using their natal language. It was all wrong. Messrs. Goodhart and Medford will fight the su- preme chancellor and his following on this matter bitterly. They will have much as- sistance, which, in the early part of the campaign, it was not thought they would have. Discussion of the question will add strength to the Germans. The resolution that the ritual should be printed only in English, it is claimed by some, was put through at Kansas City by sharp parliamentary practice. The Star man has also talked with Su- preme Representative Race of Illinois, and this gentieman, though not a German, and who is a believer in the highest principies of American citizenship, will make a desperate fight against the supreme chancellor and his anti-German sentiments. A warm time is sure to ensue. The anti-German element claims to be able to force the German lodges either to use the English ritual or to leave the order. The Memorial Services. Services in memory of the late Past Su- preme Chancellor Shaw were held yester- day afternoon by the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias. Builders’ Exchange Hall was well filled by the representatives and their ladies. The usual affectionate and emotional eulogies peculiar to such oc- casions were delivered by the following named gentlemen: Philip T.

Carnahan, comman- der-in-chief of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, believes that the encampment at Washington of his army has done that organization much good, both from phys- ical and educational standpoints. The loca- ton of the camp gave the soldiers of the Mly an opportunity to see the sights at the capital of their country, and this tended to- ward an increase of their patriotism. They had the chance of sceing many of the cel- ebrated men of the day, and of going through the government bulidings, work- shops, museums and libraries. Then, the camp was in @ strange city, where exist many differences in social forms and cere- monies, with which people from distant sections of the land were not familiar. This was all in the line of an education for the men, Camp life also added to the knightly knowledge, and camp discipline did much good to their physical being. The camp was conducted on military lines as nearly as the circumstances would permit. Neces- sarily in camps of this kind there must be ® picnic flavor. A great many visitors must be received, and curious sightseers must wander through the streets and peer into the tents. The sale of privileges and the trading of itinerant merchants and fakirs seem almost to be indispensable in a camp of this kind. It is, the general thinks, a homely feature, but, notwithstanding this, it contains some good. But, over and above the outing and excursion element, the camp was a success. The biennial recurrence of it tends to keep up the high order of train- ing in the Uniform Rank in more ways than one. It brings divisions of the knights together from distant parts and stimulates competition and healthful rivairy. Thus, when the men return to their respective homes they feel impelled to work onward and upward in the ways of the knight. The encampment stimulates drill to such an extent that the effect of the tonic does not wear down till the preparations for the next encampment are about to begin. “We are pleased with Washington and its peo- ple,” said the major general. “The rail- injured our cause. We could not turn out in our full strength.” —_—_— Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: Grant Lewis and Laura Nel- son; Daniel V.
