Philadelphia, Pa., April 25.? a #i r J 11 4' J\ gill or one minion uouars ior the establishment of a fund lor rudimentary schools lor Soul horn ^ negroes was announced here to- v night The donor is Miss Anna ^ T. Jeane9, a Quakeress of this city. Booker T. Washington, * head of Tuskegee Institute, and ^ Uolhe Burke Fri^sell, president v of the Llarapton Normal and In- c dustrial Institute, are named as ^ trustees of the fund, but neither * ol the institutions they represent N will share in the gift. The in- ' come of the million dollars is to 0 be used for the sole purpose ol c assisting in the ''Southern Un 6 ited States community country * and rural schools for the great , class of negroes to whom the small rural and community 1 schools are alone available." Miss Jeanes, the donor, is 1 about 80 years of age, and comes c from an old and wealthy family * that has been prominent lor more h than a century in the society ot s Friends.

She has known Booker ' Washington for a decade. c Big Improvement in the Cot- j Gin. Charlotte Observer: Messrs T. M. Webb and T. J. Davis have invented an improvement upon the present cotton gin that prom- j ises to revolutionize the system. ^ The improvement has been test ?.i i e. i i - i? _ CU (tilLI 1WUI1U IU Ut5 iV SUHUCBS, (] The simple little touch given by ^ these Charlotte gentlemen saves one third of the cost and half the ( time in ginning a bale of cotton. In other words, if the invention g could be added to every gin in j the country the cost of ginning a 13,000,000 bale crop would bo j reduced from $26,000,000 to ^ #17,333,334. Expert gin men have seen the j gin tried and they declare til it ( it is the best, and only material ^ change made in the saw gin since it was invented. The power cost now is about 30 cents a bale, but the Wobb-Davis patent will reduce that 10 cents, and the bale can be ginned in s half the time. c , , _ , I Saved Strings Thirty-two i Years. j. (Reading, I'a, Dispatch in New ( York World). j For 32 years Mrs. Sarah Herb, J of this place, has been saving fl strings that have come into her I home tied around store goods N and winding them iuton ball. I The ball at present measures 15 Jinches in circumterence and I weighs 10 pounds. J The string, if unwound, would r stretch from Reading to Buyer- J town, a distance of 18 miles. ! Solidity of the ball shows with what care the woman wrapped it. It is hard as a rock, and feels like a bag of lead after being held for five minutes. i The Herb family was a'ways i small, otherwise the ball might < have weighed, 50 pounds or more i by this time. ...
