Ca fie Criticism From a Colored Writer—A Deplorable Condi- tion of Affairs. ‘To.the Editor of The Evening Star: Last month an association called “The American Negro Academy,” composed, I think, of fifty members, college graduates, held several meetings in this city; and as the men who compose this association claim to have had the advantages of higher education and culture, and,-consequently, are better able to think and advise than those whose training has been more limit- ed, a number of persons sorely in need of advice were attracted to the meetings. These men had, it was supposed, viewed NEEDS OF THE NEGRO RACE] BOUND FOR THE GOLD FIELD|IN A FOREST | Organised Body of Washingtonians to Start Tueeday for Alaska, Capital Steck of Five Thousand Dol- lars Paid in and Part of Sup- Plies Purchased. The first crganized body of Washing- tonians to go to the gold fields of Alaska will leave here next Tuesday, going direct to Seattle, which will be reached about the 4th of February. The men will go to work at once. They will not remain at Seattle until the tide turns toward Dawson City, neither will they atterapt to go to Dawson City, at least not for months to come. They propose to prospect in new fields, un- der information which they claim is of great value, and which they hope will re- sult in fortunes for each. ith One of the Marvels of Natare, He Says, Which should Be Reserved by the Govefaiient, D OF STONE Prof. J. Walter Fewkes of the National Museum is of the opinion that the petri- fied forest of Arizona Should be reserved by the government by all means in much the same manner as. the beauties of Yel- lowstone Park are preserved. The profes- ‘sor says that the forest is really one of the marvels of nature, and he was astounded when he visited it on his’ trip to Arizona last summer. He was‘greatly interested in his visit to the forest and made two ex- cursions there for the purpose of visiting them. He said to a Star reporter: STARTING BANK ACCOUNTS ‘Tho Holiday Season is a Favored Period for Making First Deposits, Kew Year Resolutions an@ Cash Christmas Gifts the Cause—Intere esting Talk of a Cashier. It would be interesting in these days of Statistical research if some conscientious searcher would give his attention to ascer- taining how many bank accounts are start- ed at and about the holiday season. It would need excellent speculative qualities, of course, to take such a genesis and de- termine how many such accounts would become foundations upon which substantial financial structures were to arise; but where So many underpinnings are put in it is but natural to suppose that time will see solid Cdifices grow above them.

Smalley tn the Chicago Times-Herald. i heard in Washington lately from a naval officer the story of how Major Handy scored a “beat on the other correspond- ents in managing to be the only newspaper man who witnessed the surrender of the Virginius by the Spanish authorities in Cuba. I have heard it told at Press Club meetings and it hes no doubt been in print, but it is well worth telling again as an illustratien of the remarkable energy and resourcefulness of one of the best journal- ists of our day. When Hanéy came up to New York from Richmond and was given a position on the Tribune he was eager to do “special” work, which was then the best fieid for 2 young man to gain distinction in. The Spaniards had captured a steamer called the Virginius on pretense that she Was about to run their blockade and land supplies for the rebels in Cuba. The cap- tere was contrary to international Jaw, as it took place on the high seas, and General Grant, who was then President, made a peremptory demand for the surrender of is Af- ‘When one looks carefully over the field, what does he see? A heterogeneous mass of humanity representing almost every known race, consequently swayed by vari- ous conflicting tendencies, mingled with others of a distinct, unmixed negro type; out of this vast horde of barbarism and ignorance have arisen a few, very few, men and women who have succeeded in getting a gocd collegiate education, and who have shown their ability to take rank with the average students of other races. Of what possible use to the colored people are these highly developed personages If they fail to grasp the condition of the rest of the race, and, far worse, if they give unwise advice? Pernicious Doctrines. When the colored people in their present condition are told that those persons who advocate industrial education for the negro are the ones who believe in his inferiority— that is, his inability to comprehend any other education—thus arousing antagonism to any suggestion embracing other than purely intellectual training, it is time for the thinking men of the race to come forth in their might to tell the rank and file of the colored people plainly just where such pernicious doctrines will lead them.

The signed articles of agreement have been recorded in this city, and copies of it are held by the members. ‘Ihe company is made up of the following, all young men of robust helth and enter- prising disposition: Dr. R.

The object of the company is to do a trading, pcospecting and mining business, but the chief aim is, of course, to make a fortune in the gold flelds of Alaska. The articles of agreement fix the life of the company at eighteen months, to be extend- ed :f deemed advisable. All expenses are to be borne out of the company treasury, and all profits are to be shared equally.

Persons who have been careless and shiftiess in their money af- fairs and expended every cent as it came in make up their minds to preserve greater economy and lay aside something for the rainy day every one expects will come, and they start bank accounts. It needs only a small sum to begin an account in an in- stitution like ours, and, of course, deposits may be made thereafter in any amount from a few cents up. Such new year ao- counts, however, are seldom on the books when another January 1 comes around. For a while after their beginning the par- ties starting them show great earnestness and interest in making them grow, but along about June they begin to draw out heavily. Either the epproaching summer trip during vacation or an itch to return to the old habit of spending makes them take their savings out of bank. Of course many continue the wise course begun at the first of the year, and, as their accounts grow, exercise additional efferts to further increase them. “The new-resolution depositor is, as I have shown, numerous at this time,” con- tinued the narrator, “but there is another and more numerous one that seldom fails to stick when once the accounts are com- Do Not Be Deceived.

Lying in Key West ready to sail was the United States war ship which was to go to that bay and re- ceive the Virginius. Correspondents of other s had pre- ceded Major Handy to Key west, but they were all in despair for means to get to that remote bay and get back to a telegraph wire. The captain of the war ship had re- ceived strict instructions from the naval department to allow no civillans to go on his ship. He told them ali that he was yery sorry, but he had his orders. The New York Herald man chartered a _ schooner disparage industrial education and to re- pudiate with the greatest vehemence the idea that they (the race) must be “hewers of wood and drawers of water’ is a sad commentary upon the wisdom of the fath- ers of the race. I say further, and facts will bear me out, that if the leaders of the colored people do not develop a larger com- prehension of the situation and give better advice the masses will, in the future, not be allowed either to hew the wood or to draw the water.

The presence on board of the Tribune correspond2nt was reported to the captain, who summoned the stowaway before him and performed a vigorous feat of naval ob- jurgation. The major explained and apol- ogized in his softest voice and sweetest manner. He really did not know what he was doing when he went into the state room. He must have taken too much wine. “{Well, we cannot go back to Key West to put you ashore,” said the captain, and I do ret want to throw you overboard.

This unenviable reputation was ob- tained by a comparison of the work accom- plished by intelligent servants and work- men with that done by ignorant ones; the amount and kind of work furnished by those who have brains trained to think about the work to be performed is so su- perior to the kind and amount furnished by ignorant, unskilled laborers that white men and women are gradually superseding the poor, untaught colored servants. And while great, deep, learned discussions upon the superior mental development afforded by studying metaphysics, Sanscrit and Egyptian hieroglyphics are being held by the “advanced thinkers of the race’ to prove that the negro is capable of self-in- struction, self-support and self-government, the lines are being drawn more and more tightly against the millions of colored workmen (who must eventually support this horde of talkers) because of their in- efficiency in the kind of labor performed by them. go, but five dropped out, leaving the num- ber named. For five or six months meet- ings have been held several times a week at the headquarters of the company, 1006 F street. These meetings were of great use- fulness in preparing the members for the work ahead. Lectures on geology, miner- alogy and mining laws have been delivered by different persons possessing expert knowledge of these subjects. A number of the lecturers have been old and experienced miners. The study of mineralogy was aid- ed by a collection of minerals, and talks on modern methods of mining.

Long about Christmas eve Jim shot the constable who was tryin’ to ’rest him, and the boys started out to hunt him, takin’ a rope with 'em.

The limonadiers or lemonade sellers of Paris endeavored to increase the popularity of their wares by icing them; and one“more enterprising than the rest, an Italian named Procope Cou- teaux, in the year 1660, conceived the idea of converting such beverages entirely into ice, and about twenty years later iced liquors, i.e., liquors changed into ice, were the principal things sold by the Hmona- diers. By the end of that century iced liquors were quite common in Paris. Ice cream, or iced “butter,” as it was first call- ed from its supposed resemblance to that substance, soon followed. It was first known in Paris in 1774. The Duc de Chartris often went at that time to the Paris coffee houses to drink 2 glass of iced liquor, and the landlord, hav- ing one day presented him with his “arms” formed in edible ice, this kind of sweetmeat became the fashion.
