Calvin Chase GREAT MASS MEETING There was a great mass meeting at| not be | { the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R} srreet, between 12th and 13th streets, N. W., last Sunday afternoon in the interest of the National Training and Industrial Institute to be established in the District of Columbia for colored boys and girls. Rey, S. G. Lamkins, the promoter of the movement, feels very much encouraged at the outlook. The meeting was opened by a selec- tion from the Junior Choir of the Met- | ropolitan A. M. E. Church, under the direction of Prof. John T. Layton. The invocation was delivered by Rev. E. B. Gordon, pastor of the Walker Memorial Baptist Church. Maj Charles R. Doug- lass introduced Gen. John B. Hender- son as the presiding officer. The Gen- eral made a very interesting speech, / which was listened to with wrapt atten- tion by all who were present. He spoke of how he became the author of the amendment of the Constitution abolish- ing slavery in the United States. He said that he agreed with Mr. Lincoln in his famous discussion with Mr. Douglass when he said: “If slavery is | not wrong, then there is no wrong on earth.” Coming to the object of the meeting. he said that he favored the es- tablishment of this industrial schoo! and wanted to see it succeed, and believed it would succeed. He said that Academic Education, learn all the sciences you | can but at the same time learn and have your children learn some useful occupation or trade that will make them independent.

The Bee, in its issue of the sth inst.,' states among other things that, “Some- time in the early part of August, the | editor of the Budget called to see Editor ‘Chase, with Mr. Henry E. Baker,” etc. The facts of the case are that the the memory of Editor Chase is. The Edtior of the Budget did call to see the Editor of The Bee on the 1oth of September, and not the early part of; August. The Editor of the Budget did also praise the work done in Ala- bama by ex-Grand Master Howze, but most emphatically denies that Texas’ had declared for Howze. Editor Chase | must plead guilty to a faulty and a treacherous memory, as his convicts him of drawing upon his fer- tile imagination to present the cause of hise client, Howze, so as to earn his fee.

On November 144th and 15th will oc- cur exercises destined to be memorable in the history of the university. The formal installation of President Wil- bur Patterson Thirkield, D.D. LL.D. and the celebration of the fortieth an- niversary of the university will furnish the occasion for a series of addresses by distinguished men. An educational mass meeting on the evening of No- vember 14th will be addressed by Dr. A. H. Bradford and Dr. John Hope, of the Atlanta Baptist College. On the morn- ing of Nvember 15th, under the direc- tion of Dr. Kelly Miller, president of the organization, the Alumnj Association will hold a reunion with program. On the afternoon of the same day President Thirkield will be installed. Addresses on this occasion will be delivered by the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Presi- dent of the United States; the Hon. James Rudolph Garfield, Secretary of the Interior; Dr. Brown, United States Commissioner of Education, and Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, of Atlanta. On the evening of the 15th, at the celebration of the fortieth anniversary, Dr. Cor- nelius Patten, the Hon. J. P. Napier and Dr. George Frazier Miller will speak. The present schoo] year has witness- ed a large increase in the number of students. Especially noteworthy is the heavy registration in the College of Arts and Sciences, where, under the present administration of the Univers- ity, the increase has been seventy per- cent. This becomes all the more sig- nificant whn there are taken into ac- count the facts that many applications had to be refused because the candi- dates could not meet the high entrance requirements, and that others hoping to enter the college were assigng to the Academy. Upon recommendation of President Thirkield, at a recent meeting of the executive committee of th Board of Trustes, Dr. Kelly Miller, professor of mathematics, was appointed acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, vice Dr. F, W. Fairfield, recently plac- ed on the Carnegie Foundation. The Board takes final action at its meeting in January. Interest in athletics runs high. Mr. W. H. Bullock, the former brilliant Dartmouth player, has been engaged as coach of the football team, and is now in active charge. On Friday evening last the Y. M. Cc A, gave a large reception for the bene- fit of new stadents. After the serving of a splendid supper, addresses were delivered by President Thirkield, Hon. John C. Dancy, and International Sec- retaries Hunton and Moorland. The program was enlivened with music by the Y. M. C. A. Orchestra. Dr. W. H. Seaman, of the faculty of the Medical School, has recently pre- sented to the university an attractive sun dial, which will adorn the campus. REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Miss Modine, the presi- Gent, is succeeding remarkably well as president of the Bethel Literary, and she deserves credit for the class of speakers she presented last season, and is said that the speakers before the as- sociation this year will be equally as good if not better.
