AN INTERESTING PLACE.
All Citizen Would Enjoy Visiting
the A. & n. College.
"Educate a negro and you lose a
good field hand" has been a doctrine
long prerched. It has had and still has
many believers. That there have been
instances in which this is in a measure
true, wo do not doubt; but the practi
cal work being done in the A. & M.
College in this city is fast exploding
the doctrine. A Telegram man made
his first visit to the college yesterday
and was shown through the institution
by President Dudley. What he saw
was surprise to him. We were first
shown the class in domestic science,
which embraces sewing, cooking etc
This class is in charge of Miss S. M
Parker, who is an expert and takes
much interest in her work. It was the
hour for work in the sewing room and
much of the work shown us was of a
high order, if a man may be allowed
to judge of such things The model
kitchen in which this class is taught
the preparation of food as well as the
component parts of each kind of food,
is a model, indeed, and kept as clean
as a pin.
We next visited the wood-work
ing department ard saw there many
specimens of the handiwork of young
men who are studying to make them
selves useful. Notably a desk, a pul
pit stand and a table inlaid with va
rious kinds of wood, making a very
pleaslDg effect. Specimens of lathe
work shown us would do credit to a
finished workman. A no less place of
interest was the blacksmith shop, where
all kinds of models in iron work were
being turned out, some of the boys
displaying rare ability in this lin
Perhaps the first engine built by a
colored man in this state has just been
finished by Adam Watson, a colored
youth from Warren county. It is
about a half horse power and runs as
smooth as if it were fro.n the finest
machine sh-p.
Then there is thi agricultural de
partment, an interesting feature of
which is the handling of milk, and but
ter making. A. W. Curtis, who grad
uates in that department this term,
showed os the process of separating
the cream from the milk and of testing
the percentage of butter fat in milk
from di Keren t cows, by which he is
enabled to tell in fifteen minutes afte
milking how much butter a cow will
yield. The engine spoken of will be
the graduating thesis of the man who
made it The first graduating class to
be turned out from this institution
since it establishment will finish at the
approaching commencement. The class
is composed of sev. n.
The A. & M. College is doing a
great work for the colored race. Pres
ident Dud'ey, a colored man of ability
and scholarly attainments, has the in
stitution well in hand and takes pride
n his work. He is surrounded by a
corps of efficient instructors, and the
colored youth is taught higher modes
of living, industrial pursuits being
the keynote and watchword. They are

BURIAL OP MR. 5CHENCK.
Attended by a Large Concourse of
Friends The Floral Offerings.
The 8dne8s of death was perhaps
never more forcibly exemplified than
in the death of David Schenck, Jr.
which vu announoed in these columns
yesterday. Cut down in the bloom
and vigor of young manhood, with
a bright future before him truly the
ways of Providence are beyond the
comprension of man.

with "Jesus, Lover ef my Soul" sung
as a quartette by Mr. W. E. Allen,
Mrs. R. G. Vaugbani and Messrs. W.
Frank Blount and Z. V. Taylor. A
scripture lesson and prayer by Rev.
Dr. Smith were followed by singing,
"Abide With Me,"' by the quartette
The long processioa then formed and
the remains were carried to Greene
Hill cemetery where "Rock of Ages"
was sweetly rendered by the quartette
and the beautiful, simple burial ser
vice of the Episcopal church was read
by Rev. Horace Weeks Jones, and the
mound was raised above the mortal

tended the funeral in a body, one from
tha Knights of Pythias, of which Mr.
Scbenck was a prominent member, one

packed tonight. The attendance at
the 4'clook prayer meeting grows
arger day by day.

Editor Telegram: Who regrets the

THE RICHMOND CONVENTION
Was a Great Success And Wil
Resclt In Much Good.
IF A POPULAR ELECTION IS HELD
His Friends Think That Senator
Martin Will Be Assured
Of a Nomination
Special to the Telegram.
Washington, D C, May 12 Among
prominent men in Washington Thurs
day was Hon. R. Walton Moore, who
has been prominently mentioned in con
nection with the United States Sen
torship, to succeed senator Martin
Mr. Moore was one of the promoters
of the Richmond convention, and was
in attendance at the conference. In
speaking about the conference he said
that the convention was a great success
and he believes that it will result in
much good, as it has set the people of
the state, and of the south, to think
ing upon this great question. He be
lieves too that if the state democratic
committee refuses to obey the voice of
the conferdnce, and call for a popular
convention to nominate candidates
for the senate, that it will not be long
before tho democratic voters of the
state take more vigorous methods to
obtain what they believe to be their
just rights and privileges.
It is rumored here that Senator Mar
tin, if the state committee deem advis
able, might not oppose the holding of
a popular convention for the nomina
tion of a candidate for the senate, as
proposed by the conference. H s
friends say that if it is held he is as
sured of a nomination.
Several Virginia loaders returned
to Washington Thursday from
Richmond. In spite of the predictions
of the anti-cc nvectioi ites they say the
conference was largely attended, and
was enthusiastic in its expressions,
and earnest in pressing the movement.
Amorg the leaders here, it is believed
that but little practical good will come
out of this movement, so far as im
mediate results are concerned, for it is
not believed that the Virginia demo
cratic state committee will call for
either primaries, or for a convention
to nominate a candidate for the Sen
ate, as proposed.

beautify log of the former home of

RALEIGH'S SMALLPOX.
Those Who Refuse to Be Vaccinated
are Compelled to Submit. -
No new cases of smallpox were re
ported yesterday, and it is hoped that
the disease is now under control. The
numberof cases dismishes as vaccina
tion progresses.
The Mayor yesterday morning is
sued four warrants for persons who
had refused to be vaccinated, and to
whom notices had then been sent, but
who still had not complied. Sixteen
such persons had been to the Mayor
All, however, had afterwards complied
except four and warrants were accord
ingly placed in the hands of an officer
rfor their arrest. The warrants named
three o'clock as the time for trial.
Before that time arrived all of the
stubbo n ones had agreed to be vac
cinated rather than go- to jail, and
quietly submitted. One man alone, G.
M. Lindsey, held out. He appeared
before Mayor Powell and agreed to
leave town. He was permitted to do
so.
Mayoj Powell has issued fourteen
notices to parties who refused to let
Dr. Buff aloe vaccinate them. War
rants will be issued for those who
have not complied this morning.
Work was begun this afternoon on
a hospital for white patients. The
building will consist of three rooms
and will be located about one hundred
yards from the house where the negroe9
are confined. News-and Observer.
