THE STORY OF HIS INTERESTING
LIFE IN HIS OWN WORDS.
How He Rose from Poverty and Obsuri
ty Until He Has Heroine the Kecog
ui/.ud Leader of Ills Rare in America.
A Worthy Career.
Giradually the negroes of the south
r.re rising in the scale of civilization.
FLowly but surely are the 7.000,000 col
ored people in the black belt becoming
educated und learning that thrift and
industry which makes them good citi
zens. Of the men prominent as lead
ers in this great movement. Hooker T.
Washington is among the foremost.
Horn 38 years ago as a slave in a log
cabin near Hale's Ford, Va., he is to
day perhaps the most widely known
colored man in the country. He was
graduated ut Hampton institute in 1875
and afterwards studied at Wayland
seminary, Washington. lie then taught
for two years at Hampton and iii 1881
established the Tuskcgee normal and
industrial institute, of which lie it
principal, with no oilier resources
than a $2,000 appropriation from the
state. Prof. Washington's own words
tell best of his struggles and ultimate
success:
"My eairliest recollection is of a
small one-room log hut on a large
slave plantation in Virginia. After
the close of the war, while working
in the coal mines of West Virginia
for the support of my mother, I heard j
in some accidental way of the Hamp
ton institute. When I learned that
it was ail institution where a black
boy could study, could have a chance
to work for his board, and at the
same time be taught how to work and
to realize the dignity of labor, I re
solved to go there. Bidding my mother
good-by, I started out one morning to
find my way to Hampton, though I was
almost penniless and had no definite
idea where Hampton was. By walking,
begging rides and paying for a portion
of the journey on steam cars I finally
succeeded in reaching the city of Rich
mond, Va.
1 was without money or friends. 1
slept under a sidewalk and by work-
BOOKSR T. WASHINGTON*
ing on a vessel next day I earned money
to coutiuue my way to the institute,
where 1 anrived with a surplus of 50
cents. At Hampton I found the oppor
tunity—in the way of buildings, teach
ers and industries provided by the gen
erous—to get training in the classroom
and by practical touch with industrial
life, to learn thrift, economy and push.
I was surrounded by an atmosphere of
business. Christian influchce and a
spirit of self-lielp that seemed to have
awakened every faculty in me and
caused ine for the. first time to realize
what it meant to be a man instead of a
piece of property.
"While there I resolved that when
I had finished the course of training
I would go into the far south, into the
Black belt of the south, and give my
life to providing the same kind of
opportunity for self-reliance and self
awakening* that I hod found provided
for me at Hampton. My work begun
at Tuskcgee, Ala., in 1881 in a small
shanty 'and church,' with one teacher
and 30 students, without a dollar's
worth of property. The spirit of
work and of Industrial thrift, with
aid from the state and generosity
from the north, has enabled us to de
velop an institution of 800 students
from 19 slates, with 79 instructors, 1,400
acres of land and 30 buildings, includ
ing large and small, in ull property
valued at $280,000. Twenty-five in
dustries have been organized and the
whole work is carried on at an an
nual cost of about SBO,OOO in cash;

Washington Coir, in Philadelphia Inquirer.
As most people know, every congress
man-elect is required to write a brief
sketch of his life and public services for
publication in the Congressional Direc
tory. In concluding this autobiography
the prospective statesman must give tin
majority by which lie was elected and
and the number of votes received by his
opponents. On© of the new congress
men from Pennsylvania, Morgan B. Wil
liams, in complying with this require
ment, has laid himself open to severe
Democratic criticism. Mr. Williams
concludes his sketch thus:
"He was elected to the fifty-fifth con
gross as a Republican, receiving 20,920
votes, against 17,976 for John M. Gar
man, Popocrat, and 234 votes for 1). ().
Cough 1 in, People's party.''
The use of the word "Popocrat" is

what the Democrats object to. Some of
them had an idea that a member of con
gress had no right to officially refer to
his oppoiiont other than by the proper
party designation, and they asked one
of their leaders, Representative Dockory,
of Missouri, if Mr. Williams could not be
called to account for what they regard
ed as an offensive reference in a govern
ment publication to the Democratic state
chairman of Pennsylvania.
"Mr. Williams lias a right to call Mr.
(logman a Popocrat, 1 suppose,*' said
.Mr. Dockory, "but I consider that any
man who would so refer in cold type to
a defeated rival long after the election
in a supposedly official and nonpartisan
publication, is sadly lacking in the
quality of courtesy. He is certainly to
be pitied for liis obvious absence of good
breeding."
This caustic comment from one of the
minority leaders of the house shows how
kefenly the silver Democrats resent tin
party nickname, "Popoerats," bestowed
upon them by the Hold Democrats dur
ing the presidential campaign. They
all have it in for Mr. Williams, but can
do nothing in the matter.
To the above the Wilkesbarre Newn
dealer adds the following pertinent com
ment: "The 17,000 odd Democrats of
Luzerne who voted for Mr. Garman and
whom Mr. Williams gratuitously insults
have the proud satisfaction of knowing
that Williams didn't write a word of it,
for lie cannot write correctly a sentence
of ton words. And while Mr. Williams
was about his biographical sketch lie
might have added that lie ran behind
McKinley 1,094 votes: lie ran behind
Commissioner Hay 1,508 votes, and that
while McKinley carried the county by
over 5,00(1 votes Mr. Williams beat Mr.
Garman only 2,937 votes. That Mr.
Garuian led his party vote by a thousand
majority is a pretty good showing for
even a Popocratlc candidate, as Mr.
Williams calls him. Mr. Williams really
ought to be a little more modest. He
has nothing to boast of in the light lie
made for congress against Mr. Garman."
tins Explosion at Tamaqua.
A terrific explosion of gas occurred at
No. 11 mines, Tamaqua, on Monday;
afternoon. Two men were fatally, and
a number of others seriously bruised
and burned. The names of the most
seriously injured are as follows: Thomas
Garlan. of Lansford, frightfully burned
about the head and body, will die; Joseph
Garlan, of Lansford, head, face, arms,
neck and back so badly burned that lie
cannot recover; .Jacob Shafor, of Tama
qua, badly burned about the head and
face, and Daniel O'Donncll, of Lansford.
head, face and neck badly burned. A
number of others were more or less in
jured and bruised, but none but those
mentioned above are regarded as serious.
The men were at work in a breast of
the mine, when a lot of coal fell in a
mass, bringing with it a volume of gas.
As soon as the gas penetrated where the
men were working, and came in contact
with the naked lamps, a terrific explo
sion ensued. The two Garlans are
brothers, and they received the full
force of the explosion. They were burn
ed in a horrible manner, the skin peel
ing from their bodies.
Some of the employes say that Joseph
Garlan had a package of powder in the
bosom of his shirt, and this statement
seems borne out by the char actor of his
injuries. His breast is terribly burned
and lacerated, and all the flesh blown
off hi* ribs, exposing the bones.

Fitz and Webster's "llreezy Time,"
which will be seen at the Grand on
Tuesday evening, Is a farce comedy with
an abundance of fun and a paucity of
serious interest. In other words, Its
purpose Is to divert rather than to en
gross the attention. It belies the gen
eral opinion that a farce comedy cannot
have a coherent plot. In fact it has a
scheme of Interest that runs throughout
the entire play and that is only strong
enough to hang upon it a series of spe
cialty performances of a high order and
enjoyable nature. E. 11. Fltz is the
principal comedian of the company.
Miss Kathryn Webster is leading sou
brette. The rest of the cast is well bal
anced. Each one has boon engaged for
some particular talent that he or she
possesses, but they play together in such
away that the result is harmonious in
the extreme, and, best of all, laughable.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
; The KnlghtH of Lithor Lot and a Public
Drinking Fountain.
EDITOR TRIBUNE.—The Knights of
Labor of this district, like the Knights
of old, are about doing a very magnan
imous act. I mined, we think their ex
ample might well be followed by many
who are possessed of greater means.
We refer to the intended presentation of
the lino plot of ground at the corner
J of Centre and Walnut streets for either
! tlie borough school purposes or to the
Mining and Mechanical Institute.
Just at this point a few suggestions
from a friendly source may not be out of
place.
First—ln consideration of the valuable
property to bo given by them, would it
not seem reasonable to insert in the
deed, as a slight return, that the re
cipients be required to erect thereon,
convenient to the corner, at a cost suit- '
able for a good substantial article, a I
public fountain free to all; the new
owners of the property to make some
arrangement with the Water Company
to furnish water for it at a simply nomi
nal figure—wo feel quite certain that |
the generous-spirited stockholders of
the Water Company would be j runpted J
to make such an offer in advance; the j
Knights to select a name for the fonu- ;
tain.
Second —The services of an attorney |
should be secured to properly draw up 1
the necessary papers, and it should not j
ho forgotten that wjiile being generous,
the upforseen occurrences of the future j
be not overlooked. Whichever organi- !
zation secures the property, the donors
should deed it conditionally, that when
no longer used for educational purposes
it is to revert to some other educational
or public use.
Third—Further, to Insure sufficient
space for comfortable present quarters,
and for future possible needs, the ad
joining plot of vacant ground east be
also secured, the owners of which, being
interested in the progress of our bor
ough, would in all likelihood, part with
it at a very reasonable figure.
Our town would thus secure a lino
educational building and a memorial
fountain, and the donors would bo re- i
mombered by future generations and be
blessed by these and the weary traveler
when slaking his thirst.
A Greater Freoland.
FreHuml Girl Granted a reunion.
Mrs. Sarah Shellhamer, widow of
Stephen Shellhamer, of Freeland, was
allowed a pension on April 18, 1804, but j
died six days (April 12, 185)4,) before it,
was granted. This money, $520, has
.been held by the pension department
over since, subject to the appointment of
a guardian for her youngest child, Delia.
On March 8, 1897, the matter was finally
disposed of, and the $520, together with
a pension at the rate of $lO per month,
will be given Delia until she is sixteen
years of age, which occurs two years
hence. George Kroinmes became Delia's j
guardian, and all money due her will
pass through his hands.
A I'Hxtor'H Itt'iuurks Refuted.
Mrs. Catherine Miller, through her
attorney, John F. Shea, has issued a
summons in trespass against Rev Paul
Kuwait, pastor of tho Wilkcsbarrc Luth
eran church, and asks for $5,000 dam
ages for defamatory words spoken.
Mrs. Miller, who is 80 years old and a ;
member of his church, claims she was '
publicly abused and humiliated by the
pastor. There seems to have been seme
troublo In one of the church societies
and several other women who wore also
offended by tho pastor's remarks in
tend bringing suit against him. The
case is somewhat out of the ordinary.
Killed by Fulling from a Itrldge.
The bruised body of John Kennedy, of
Parsons, was found on the bank of a
creek near that town, early Tuesday
morning. John Moylos was walking
over the Delaware and Hudson Railroad
bridge spanning the crook when ho saw
the body. Kennedy was lying face
downward, his head resting on his arms.
The body was not in the water, but lay
close by the steam. There was strong
suspicion that Kennedy met with foul
play, but later reports show that he
tripped over the rail and fell from the
bridge, lie was a respected resident of
the town and not addicted to liquor.

Saved u Child's Life,
A young Hungarian child strayed on
the Upper Lehigh trestllng on Tuesday
shortly before the Jersey Central pas
senger train was duo at that point.
David Price, a young man of the town,
was on ids way to Freeland when he
saw the child In its perilous position,
lie climbed up one of the pillars, grasp
ed the little one and jumped from the
Structure just as the train arrived,
thereby saving its life. Price escaped
injury in the jump.
Two Women Released from Jail.
Sarah Miller and Hester Hrace, the
two colored women who have been in
the county jail twenty-two months, were
taken before Judge Lynch on Monday
morning, on a writ of habeas corpus,
through the efforts of Miss Mary Trcs
cott, the only woman attorney in this
county. They are charged with being
implicated in the mountain tragedy in
which live Hungarians wore killed.
Nelson E. Miller and Frank Shaffer are
the only two of the suspects tried, and
each was convicted in the lirst degree.
Miller recently died in jail.
Sarah Miller said she had not asked
for a continuance of her case, and had
never appeared in court, except as a
witness ill the trial of Nelson Miller.
Miss Trescott then quoted authority on
the two-term rule, which, in substance,
is that a person charged with crime is
entitled to and must got a release after
two terms of court havo elapsed, unless
the person indicted asks for a continu
ance or has had a trial.
After hearing the evidence, Judge
Lynch discharged the two women un
conditionally.
As soon as the colored people in court
had grasped the meaning of so important
a decision, they broke out in vociferous
applause. As soon as Sarah Mllllcr
realized that she was free, siie embraced
Miss Trescott and wept witli joy. Hester
lirace was also deeply affected.
Jim Miller, a brother of Nelse, is still
in jail along with ISird, Jordan and Shaf
fer. He Is failing rapidly and unless
something is done he will not live long
enough to go to trial.
