Featura of First Day'j Session.

League Weil Attended and All is

Harmonioui.. Till Thursday

The National Negro Business League is

hoiding its third annual session in this

city at the True Keiormers' ±iaii, navmg

opened yesterday under tne most iavor-

abie auspices. The feature of the daywas the address at the night session of

Booker T. Washington, the president or

the league and the head of the Tuskeegee(Ala.) Normal and Industrial Institute.

The speech was a conservatlve ana

high-toned one, and breathed a nobie

sentiment to the negroes in its every

word. There was no politics in it, mit

on the other hand ne urgea tne league

to stimulate industry and business devel-

opment among the race.

WELL. ATTENDED.The mornlng session was lairly well

attended. but at night the great hau

was packed to its utmost'capacity and

the distinguished negro educator was

given a fine reception. It is estimatedthat five hundred negroes are here in at-

f°Down in the hallway leading to tne

main room where the meeting was held.is a most creditable display of picturesrepresenting business industries and ins-

titutions owned and operated by ne¬

groes throughout the United States. In

this, most of the States are most credit-ablv vepresented. So far as can be

learned from President Washington and

other leaders of the League, there willbe no politics in the meeting. and no

reference whatc-ver will be made to the

Virginia Constitutional Convention.NO POLITICS IN IT.

When President Washington was seen

by a Times reporter and asked concern-

ing the objects of the meeting and the

probability of the suffrag-j matter be-ir.g brougiit up, he declared that the or-

ganization had for iis otie.ts the indus¬trial and business development of the

negro race, and he had no idea that any-think smacking in the remotest degreeof politics wc/jld crop -mt in the meeting.Rev. Griham. in cnlling to order, dis-

claimed that there would be any politicsin the meeting. and said that the leaguewas created to promote industry amongthe" colored race. Giles Jackson discred-ited the rumor that there would be anypolitics in the sessions of the league. andthe trend of all th epeeches was con¬

servatlve and on the line of promotingir.dustrial pursuits among the race.

TEAMOH HERE.Among the delegates in attendance is

Robert T. Teamoh, of Boston, who figuredin the mild sensation at the Governor*sMnnsion during Governor O'Ferrall's ad-mmistratidn, by entering with a delega-tion of white citizens from Boston, whocalled upo'ivthe Governor.Teamoh is here in a dual capacity, oe-

ing a delegate as well as the represen-tative of thev Boston Globe. Tne meetingwill last uhtil Thursday and promlses tobe even more largely attended than at

present.Rev. W. F, Graham, of the First Bap-

tist Church, called the meeting to orderat a little past noon, and prayer was

offere^ by Rev. D. P. Howard, of Feters-

burg.The audience then arose and sang My

Country "Tis of Thee," after whichPresident Washington took the chair.He expressu! regret at the enforced ab-sence of Governor Montague, and GilesJackson being introduced read a letterfrom Governor Montague expressing re¬

gret that he could not be present. Jack¬son received a huge bouquet as he con-cluded.Dr. R. E. Jones and W. P. Burrell, of

this city, made brief addresses. and thencame the presentation of credentials.After several other speeches by vari-

ous members and the transactionsome routine business, the body took a

recess until 8 o'clock. A great manyprominent negro leaders of the Snuthare in attendance upon the sessions ofthe body.

WASHINGTON SPEAKS."When the night. session of thc

bodv was called to order at So'clock the "great hall was packedto its utmost capacity. Booker Wash¬ington was the star attraction. and he¦was wildly cheered. His speech was con-servat'n-e and was well del-vered. theaudience at times going wild with de-ght. His address was in part as fol-

lows:This organization. as I understand it,

has but one object before it, and fromthat, it will not be turned as:de; andthat is to develop industry, business en-

terprises. and hablts of thrift and econ-

omy among our people.This organization had its beginning In

a small meeting held in Boston threeyears ago and composed of a few rep-resentative men from various parts ofthe country in various lines. of busi¬ness activity. Its growth within threeyears has been surprising as well asmost encouraging. It has deveioped tosuch ati extent that its membership nowcomprises men and women representingr.early every state in the Union andthe influence of this organization hasresulted in the organization o? localbusiness league* In near!,v all of ourlarge cities and in many of the smallertowns.

COMPOSED OF WORKERS.I am glad to say that this Natlonai

Negro Business League is composed ofworkers and not mere talkers.' Thosewho are taking part in the programmeduring the three days' session nave Deenasked to do so be.cause of the fact thatthey have actually succeeaeo in oemon-strating their ability to succeed ln someline of maustry. w e nave no one on tneprogramme who is to advlse others todo that which he hlmseif has not done.For the main part, those on the pro¬gramme will tell in a phain. simple wayhow they themselves have built up froma small beginning large and successtuibusiness enterprises, which have neipeoto secure for them the respect and 'con-fldence of both races in the communl-ties where they live. It would be eom-

paratively easy to have men of eloquenceand enthusiasm speak to you ror nours.telling you how to do something wnicnthey themseives have not done. but wehave determined to have only those rep-'resented on the programme wno naveactuallv snccp»ded.

REWARD FOR INDUSTRY.I am constantly surprised as I travel

among our people ln nearly every sec-

Uon of the country to see how manystrong, serisible, quiet mea of our racethere are who are succeeding in someline of business or"industry in a quiec,unostentatlous way, and I have notedtnat wherever our people make' them-selves useful in the community wherethey live, wherever they are thrifty andeconomical, with few exceptlons, thatsuch a negro is given a considerationwhich is not true of the ignorant' andshiftless black man.I am very anxious that ln the develop-

ment of tma organlzation we not omyencourage mere trade, which in a largedegree means the handling of goodswhich have produced by others, butthat more and more each year weencourage our people to become first-hand, intelligent, skillful producers oforiginal wealth. especially in the direc-tion of agriculture. Most people whohave gotten upon their feet. have at onetime or another ln thelr history laid thefoundation for their success in Intelli¬gent, skillful cultivation of the soll. Inthe agricultural districts of the Southour people have an opportunity for de-velopment. for laying the foundation ofwealth and success that is scarcely af-forded any people in any other part ofthe world. Let us not neglect or over-look the "acrvs of diamonds" which areright about our feet. We want to teachour children to dig wealth out of thesoll by which they are surrounded inevery section of the" South.

TO DEVELOP BUSINESS.Every man connected with this organl¬

zation, no mattor what his business mayhe. should bear in mind that he has notonly a responsibility to develop his own

business, but should go further than that;he owes a duty to the community inwhich he lives." and one of these re-sponsibilities should be to use his Influ-ence to take from the street corners.from the bar-rooms and dens of sin andmisery every colored boy and man foundin idleness. One of the curses of ourrace. and one to which we cannot shutour eyes in honesty, Is the larg numberof colored men who are inclined to flockto the clties and yield to the temptationof trying to live.by their wits withouthard. earnest, productive industry. Letus rld the race of this class of people asfast as possiblo. More and more our

neople are lookiner to such men as com-nose this organization for puidance andleadership. The mere "ttvlk.'ing man"is bermning to disappear as a potentialinfluence. The people want the "workinpmen." those who have nroven bv theirfrults. by actual. tanKible. visible re-

snlts. that they are ontitled to respectand confinoneo for tboir loaders.

WANT THRIFTY LEADERS.The fvpe of minister who horetofore has

spent his time in me'rely trr\veling fromone community to the other. without a

home of his own. without a bank account.without financial credit, will more andmore lose his influence as a leader. Therrople are heginning to look for leader¬ship ln the type of a man who owns hishr.me. who has a bank account, who hasthe respect and confidence of not onlythe black people. but the white people inthe community where he lives. By theside of every church I want to see wellrv.llivate farms owned by our people. Bythe side of every certiftcate of churchmembership I want to see a bank book.T want to see our people in every part

of in*e country £et the most thorough andbest education. fcut as a race we wantto remember thati education, without beingust.d in the direction that our people mostneed he7p. will prove of llttle permanentvalue to the race. An idle educated man

standing on the street corners with hishards in his pockets is not worth onewliit more to society than an ignorantman on the streets with his hands in hispockets.While in many parts of the South we

have disadvantages and difficulties whichare often trying and hard to bear. at thesame time we should bear in mind thefac!. to which all of you will testify, thatwhen it comes to a pure matter of busi-t eps we have an onportunity and encour-areir.ent In the South that are seldomafforded our race in any part of thecountry. I rep'eat^ let tis take advantageof these opportuinities and use them as

stepping stones in- our efforts to get uponour feet as n neople.

A STIRRIXG APPEAL.As I look over this larere and repre-

sentatlve body gathe^ed from nearly everyState ln the Unton. there is one otnerpiece of advice which I want to leavewith you and which I hope you will bearin mind during the three days- deiioera-tions of this organlzation. i nope tnateach one of you has come here deter-mined to get sometning or encourage-ment, something of lnrormanon ana en-thusiasm which you can take back homewith you and put into practlcal use forthe benefit of the community in wnicnyou llve. J_,et us never grow- aesponaent,dou^.ful or discouraged. Tnere is some¬thing in human nature everywnere wnicnrecognizes merit in the form of success-ful Industry, business inteingence anahigh Christian character.After we return to our homes let us

bear in mind that in the long run andin the last analysls our tnnuence anapower for good will be measured by whatour neighbors, black and white, have tosay about us rather than the woras orthe man who lives a tnousand miies aist-ant from our terrltory. We snouia notdespise small beginnings. We must learnto build from the ground upwards, andnot from the sky downwards.Following was the remainaer or me

DON'T GET IN A SWEATPerspiration."sweat" is what the Bible and we common peo¬

ple call it.is a way-nature has of driving out of the body refusethat has no business there. We sweat more m summer, because,in the overheated bowels, undigested food ferments more quickiythan inwinterandproducesirritatingacidsandgases. The bowels,overworked, try to reiieve themselves by violcnt convulsions,causingterriblegripes andcolics,and diarrhoeal discharges soacidas to make you sore, and leavingthe intestinesweakandworn out.Naturc assists body-cleaning by sending the filth out through thepores of the skin. It is not safe to stop perspinng altogether butmost of the impure matter should be sent out by natural move-

ments of the bowels, and the offensivc, ill-smelhng, lmen-staimngsweat done away with.

HSORDERLT WOHEIM ARnESTED

In Citizens' Clothes OfficersMade Many Additionai Ar-

rests Last Night."Back to the kitchen with you."Such is the edict that has gone forth

frcm Chief of Police Howard's office inregard to the negro street walkers, whohave lately g^ven the citizens of the cityand the police of the difEerent distrlctsmuch trouble, and acting under these or-

ders twenty-odd women have been ar-

vested druing the past two or three days.Captain Angle, of the First District,

started the work last Saturday night,when sixteen of the dusky damsels were

pulied in off the street, and Sunday nightCaptain Hulce had several more arrestediu the Second District.The women were arraigned before

.Rfluire Lonnie Graves yesterday morningand he imposed a nominal fine upuii everyone; but in case they appear again be-fore him on a similar charge it is prob-able the sentence will be much heavier,as he heartily endorses the edict.On top of the numerous arrests Satur¬

day and Sunday night it was generallysupposed that the street walkers wouldlet up for a time at least, but such was¦not the case, fully a half dosen more

being pinched in the Second District lastnight.At 10:30 o'clock Captain Hulce. who had

been on a tour of inspection cfver the dis¬trict which is under his control. returnedto the station firmly convinced that thewomen on the street. were nearly as bcldas ever. He therofc-re called in six of hismen and ordered them to don their cit¬izens' cTothes and go forth after thestreet walkers,The offtcera had not been out of the

station three minutes before PatrolmanFarley returned with a stylishly dressedcoon. She was highly indignant at hav-ing been arrested. claiming that she was

en route home when she was rudelystepped by the officers and returned to thestation. The woman was locked up.This action on the part Of Officer Far¬

ley was followed by another. and beforemidnight six women had been pulied. Aseach was taken to a cell she was greeted¦nith laughter by the unfortunates whohad preceded her, and thus a rather dullevenhng" in the Second Station was turnedinto a sort of jollification gatheringamong the female prisoners.Captain Hulce says he intends breaking

the habit-up entireiy.
