At the closing exercises of the school year of the New York jtrade Schools on Thursday even- ing, Col, Auchmuty, their foun- der avd patron, announced that Mr. Pierpont Morgan on the eve of his departure for Europe last week had informed h m of his ins tention to give the schools the en dowment of $500,000 The sum is to be at the disposal of the en-~ terprise as soon as the organiza— tion of the schools under the laws of the State is completed. Mr. Morgan’s gift is a proof of the practic.l sagucity of this dis- tinguished bauker and cousum~ mate financier, not less than an exhibition of his large liberality. These Trade Schools are the de- velopment of a scheme for the public bencfit conceived by Cul. Auchmuty and started experi- mentally ten years ago in a com- paratively emall way. I[t was demonstrated at once that they supplied a demand previously un~ filled, and accord.ngly he has ex~ tended their facilities as time has passed, and he haa provided con- tinu,usly and handsomely for maintenance. “Ibis splendid gift ot Mr. Morgan,” to use the words of Col. Aucbmauty on Thursday evening, “is given not only that more trades may be taught, but that these schools may be con- tinued when my working days are over.” The schools started with thirty pupils. This year the number of the pupils was more than 600. In the beginning they encountered active cpposition or still more discouraging indiffereuce; but as Col. Auchmuty went with his experiment the valuable results attained s lenced his enemies and changed doubt into enthusiastic approval. The schools are con~ dacted on the principle of teach- ing thoroughly how work should be done, and leaving the quick- ness requisite in a first-class me- chanic to be acquired afterward by practice in real work. Hence both the manual and scientific branches of a trade are taught. The pupils learn why the work should be done in a specific wey at the same time that they learn the dexterous use of their hands. | We clip the above from the| New York Sun. May it reach the eye and heart of some gocd friend somewhere who wvuld hke to leave behind a monument that mankind and God cou'd smile upon. A building in the District of Columbia, in which colored youths could enter and prepare themeelves for the battle of. lite, certainly would be a monument in the name of humanity that gen~ erations unborn would rise and bless.

To THe Epivor or tHe BEE: I have read the speech of Mr. Langston, in which he states his position as to the instruction of delegates to the National Conven- tion, 1892. We know one thiag sure, and that isthat this “Method” has lately attached itself to Mr. Langston. He certainly did not attempt this role in his own dis- trict. However it is all rmght, Gen. Har- rison seems to be getting there just the same, dead on bis real merit. Be careful should we accept ad- vice. It was but a few years ago that Mr. Langston advocated the election of Gen. Fitzhugh to the Vice Presidency of whe United States. At that time it was charg- ed that there was ‘method in his madness.” What are we to under- stand by Mr. Langston’s sudden, *‘A bout face,” “Order arms? A REPuBLICAN.

BY COMRADE SAMUEL ADAMS WIGGINS, Comrades loyal to the flag; Comrades of the blue, Lift on high, Memorial Day The flag of freedo n trae. Memorial Day hath meaning sweet, For you who live to-day, It means the honoring of our dead, Our heroes passed away, It means the breaking of all bonds The advent of the free, It means a glorious victory, Of right, on land aud see. It means my comrades, liberty, The Union saved by blood, The nation cleansed and paritied In battles purple flood. It means our joy and happiness, Brave comrades died to win, That for our sake they nobly fell That we might enter in. Might enter in the Promised Land, Flowing with wine and oil, That our own wives and childrev dear, Reap harvests from their toil. For us they fought in Freedoms cause, Fought for our Country dear, So we on sweet Memorial Day, With flowers bright appear. And on their lowly mounds of green Our wreaths for heroes lay, And at their feet in beauty float, The Flag of Freedom’s day. Chant sweetly, softly, that glad song, How “John Brown’s body lies” How his great soul is marching on To kingdoms in the skies. And our dear comrades gone before Shall listen to the strain ; On mighty Angel pivions wide, Suall come to earth again. Shall come with blessings on our heads, Shall join the glorious song, With voices full of melody That to the saints belong. Come torth my comrades of the Blue, Come forth all maidens sweet, All wives and mothers join the song, Memori .1 Day to greet. Let all the little children come, Born free as birds of air. Let all the fathers bent and old Forget their pain and care, Ye fought fur Freedoms glorious day, Come forth with banners free, The Flag, Our Flag, the S ars and Stripes, That fluats on land and sea. And reverently and meekly say, “Thank God for all good things,” Thank God for sweet Memorial Day, It comes on angel wings. CHEAP EXCURSION TO GET- TYSBURG BATTLEFIELD.

Almy, the murderer of Christie War- den, was brought into court on Wednes- day last, at Plymouth, N. H., and the taking of evidence begun on his applica- tion for a newtrial. Physicians testified as to the result of experiments upon the body of a woman for the purpose of test- ing what kind of a wound would be made by a pistol inserted in the body, as it is alleged Almy’s weapon was. The testimony was highly technical. The court refused to grant the application, and Almy was sentenced to be hanged on the third Tuesday in May, 1893, Be- fore sentence was passed he told the court that there was no mutilation of the body of his victim, and that the first shot was accidental. He implored the judges to believe him and alter the sentence. | Justice Doe said there was no cause for changing the decision previously made. Almy was much cast down. He was taken back to Concord. Almy has cleared up the mystery sur- rounding his career by confessing that he is George Abbott, the outlaw who had committed crimes enough before he mur- dered Christie Warden to insure his im- prisonment for life, WAR ON THE PLAL A Long Range Battle With Horse Thievet in Oklahoma, A dispatch from Guthrie, Oklahoma, says; A battle has just occured near Stillwater between nine horse thieves and a posse of citizens from Orlando, The thieves stole six horses near Orlando and started with them for the Creek country, A posse was immediately formed and at once started in pursuit.
