Saves tbe Financial World From a Panic, Thinks Russell Sage. By Wire To Tbi Tbjoeim. New York, Nov. 17 Russell Sage, discussing the offer of Secretary Gage to buy hands, said today. "I believe Gage s action has saved the financial world from a great panic. No one in touch with the business enterprises of the count -y can fail to realize the stringency of the money market Ready money is scarce, and those who have it, hold it, or demand the h'ghest class of securities before letting it go. I know of banks," he concluded, "in different parts of the country, which had the hardest kind of time realizing money, yet they held se curities which would have ordinarily been negotiable anywhere."

Next Spe-k r Expected at Wash ington Within Frw Dys THE MINORITY SPEAKtRSHI vera Ki. Icy WiU I', - b-Wv to Nashville. Special to Tbe Telegram. Washington, Nov. 17 Although the convening of congress is only a few weeks distant, none of the candidates tor the minority leadership bave thus far established headquarters iu Wash ington, and it is said by democratic congressmen that no headquarters will be established by the candidates until within a few days of the assembling of the democratic caucus, which will be she Saturday before the convening of congress General Henderson is ex pected in Washington within a few days, and he will at onoe establish hlmnelf for the winter and will open headquarters. As he is the only can didate fir the speakership, the other gentlemen who were originally in tbe field having witndrawn from the con test, recognizing the futility of the contest against' General Henderson, no other republican will open head quarters in this city. Tbe absence cf a contest over the speakership and the fact that most of the republican officials of the last house are assured of re election, will lead many of the repub lican members, in fact the majority of th m, to delay coming to Washington until within the last few days befoie the assembling of .the senate and house. Those members, however, who are anxious to secure chairmanships and good committee assignments, will be in Washington almost by the time General Henderson arrives. There will likely b) quite a contest for the minority leadership among the democrats. It Is now said that Gee Bankhead, of Alabama, will not be among the leading candidates, but will stand the best chance in the event of a contest which is in any ways pro longed. Most of the democratic rep resentatives in Washington seem to look upon Mr Ricnardson, of Tennes and Mr. De Armond, of Missouri, as the leading candidates. The south ern delegations Irom such states as South Ua ohna, orthCarolina, Geor nla, Mississippi and Alabama are like ly to prefer Richardson to De Ar mond. C' ngrpssman el c.

His resignation was much regretted by tbe officials of the company, who recognized fully the merhs and integrity of Mr. Kemper. On returning to his home at Alexan dria, Va., Mr. Kemper received from Mr. Frazer, tbe superintendent of the Atlanta and Greenville branch of the Southern railway, a telegram tender ing him a position in the office of the road at Columbus, Mississippi, which is said to be a more healthful point than Winona. Mr. Kemper left the other day for his new home. Since his return, it is said nis health has been much better, and his friends hope for his complete recovery. Columbus Is said to be one of the most healthful points in the state of Mississlpi. Mr. Kemper is well known in this city, be ing a relative of the late General Del aware Kemper, who was prominent in the consulate service during the ad ministration of President Cleveland, filling the position as consul to Amoy, China. At the white house it is said that the president will probably go to Nash ville on tbe occasion of the reception to tbe First Tennessee regiment. Ow ing to the nearness of the session of congress, however, hi will not stop at any other southern city either en route or on his return from Nashville. It is aot known whether Mrs McKlnley will accompany the president or not. It is likelv. however, that Secretary Root and one or two others of the cabinet may acc:mpauj the president Lieutenant Commander Henderson, a brother of former t ongressman Hen derson, of North Carolina has been appoin'ed a member of the board to Ust the speed of the Kentucky on her trial trip from Norfolk to Boston. Mr. Arthur Charles Needles and bride, who were married Wednesday at Baltimore, Md , passed through the city at n'ght for their future home at Roanoke, Va The couple did not re main in Washington only long enough to make :he proper railroad con Dec tions. Congressman-elect Pearre, of Mary land, of the sixth Maryland district, is in the city. He' is .much disappointed at the result of the elections in his atate. but he thinks McKinley will MtFPT the state next year. He bases his opinion on the fact that while in the present campaign tue rrp uncuo wr divided, that they will be practi cally solid in their support of President McKinlev. M. COLI EOf In the Midst of a Successful Everybody at the Cull g - W Y.-H- k The present sesi '" f A ? in th Star's aiid -ud. ills AVti :uiidr.-,-g e-. e' ween, ine distinctive w.rK 01 tne 1 in stitution began with the incumbency of the present executive Before then t t work was almost wholly of a literar y nature. Th college is no a full fledg d school designed to educate in such branches as relate to agriculture, me chanics, and the domesti arts. It is conceded by persons who have knowl edge of all the schools for colored people in the country that only one c two surpass it In accommodations and, though its departmedts are not so va ried as the most widely known indus trial schools, its compactness and equipme-1, coupled itn the courses of stu y, make it a superior, institution. Besides the tetichcrs are more or iop specialists in their branches, thus giv ing the student whe benefit not only of (food instruction but such as is baeeO upon experience and careful study. The solution of the much discussed race problem does not cause any con cern. President Dudley believes that the institution is intended to bave a good effect upon the home life of his people in the formation of character, the making of self-respecting and in dustrious men and women. He be lieves and teaches that laziness begets poverty and crime and that people fre quently suffer because of a lack of knowledge of how to do something which would ameliorate their condi tion. Hence everybody at the college works. The school day begins at 5:45 a. m. and ends at 10 o'clock p. m. Morning prayer is conducted at 6:15. All stu dents are required to attend. Break fast at 7:30; chapel 8:30; class room and industrial work from 9 to 4" o'clock Night school begins at 7 and ends at 9:3 J o'clock. Evening prayer at 9 o'clock. The night school is for students who work during tbe day to pay their expenses. 'j he worth of the instruction given has already been tested. All of tbe graduates are employed Dur ng va cation the majority of U e students find work in occupations for which their ! raining in school peculiarly fit them In from, ol tne campus are -everal z: c ttrtw, s taw le uia y i nts in 1 tie rc p ir.t ) j p.'tiu 11 1 1 1 n I S U d ' i it t tl a 1 .

Most encouraging is the spirit the students manifest in th ir agricultural work. A little fellow whose father is leading teacher in the state was making a modal in the blacksmith siiup tbe other day. He is not tall enough to do effective work by stand ing at the polishing table, so he got upon It, threw his l et around the vise and toiled away Having been asked if he ever tired o' the exercise, he re plied, "A little bit, but it's good to know how " A diy or so later he wrote tbe president a note requesting work in order that he might help to pay for his education. Soon after wards he met the president, euquired if the note had been received and asked for its answer. He was willing to do anything at which he could make money. Thj faculty frequently gets requests from students to be allowed to become special students In order to pay more attention to handicraft. Thn youth referred to above has been at the col lege a short litre only, but he has caught the spirit the spirit that Is destined to do marvels for tbe negro In North Carolina. The students in attendance are largely from families whose parents are leaders in their communities. This indicates that the sentiment for the education of the hand to do useful and intelligent work is leavening the mass. Tbe religious side of the student body is not uncared for. The Y M. C A. and T. P. S. C. E. have healthy organizations. The system of attend ing church Is an evolution. At first the boys went to church at their own pleasure. The girls were in charge of the matron. Now a teacher is assign ed to every church iu Greensboro, to which he tnkes all students who wish to attend once every Sunday. Most helpful are the talks that President Dudley delivers in the chap l on vital moral subjects. The manaeiiu -nt clearly sees that the A. & M. College can do much for North Carolina in bo h a sociological and economic sense, and nothing is being left undone so far as its ability goes to have it accopjplibh its mis slon. A trip to the c liege while the stu dents a-e at work will be a pleasure as well as a revelation. The teachers and students take pleasure in showing visitors around Vlck's Electric Cora Salve, 10c. 1 gives: smiles for frown.
