Mrs. Thurman was born in Toronto,
Canada, in IS"'2. Personally, :sho
knew nothing of tho blighting offoots
of hhnery, yet her love for those of her
raco less fortunate than herself was so
strong that at tho age of 17 she left
homo determined to do something for
their elevation. At Rochester, N. V.,
she met two of tho nation's leading
colored men, Frederick Douglass and
William Wells Jlrown, who recognized
her ability and secured for her a school
in Maryland, which sho taught for
three years. She then went to Mlchi

colored association was organized. It
doesn't udwieato equal social position
or intermingling in the South, for it
! knows this l- impossible, bu it lollows
along tho lino of mothers' ' meetings,
kindergartens, rescue works, homes for
tho aged, homes- for motherless children
and all moral and religious training.
Tho immediate object is to elevate thu
women of the race and to change their
Ininu surroundings. It also seeks tho
establishment of public schools in tho
South for colored children, as they aro
not peiimtted to attend most of tho
ordinal y schools there.
Tho association has already founded
many sclnols, the largest of which is
tho Hooker Washington, whoo course
of studv includes
21 departments. Ho-
sides tho ordinary
branches of study,
it has great industrial departments,
where tho boys an taught tho trades
and the girls such household initios as
domestic conking, kitchen woik, sew
ing, nursing of tho sick, etc. In tho
last !I0 years over 25,0Uti colored toach
cm huio graduated from Southern
schools.

llrst told of tho fcchool sho was led to onddiand eohool hooka at icdiicod
teach in Maryland on a plantation
through tho iullueuco of Frederick
Doimlnxs and (loneial O I). Howard,
the latter then head of the Freed man
bureau ot education. The school wax
on an old plantation, and there were
7(1 pupils, tanging in age from fi to 7o
,vear, and among her pupils va an
"auntie" 7.". years of age, who wanted
to learn to lead the Hlblc. it was
here she witnessed the strong desire
that tile colored people had to learn
and lie taught. Mrs. Thurman re
marked that'the colored people of the
South had been largely misjudged, and
she confessed that, taking into consid
eration the fact that they had come
from years of hondime, their progress
in educational and industrial lines had
been remarkable.
The most interesting and instructive
part of her lecture- wa her account of
tho great suhools that have been estab
lished for the education of the colored
youth of the Southland. It was no
doubt a revelation to many present.
She told of the great university at At
lanta, lia., with its hundreds of stu
dents, the gieat school at Savannah,
and at other cities of tho South, where
the colored youth receive higher edu
cation. Along these lines site consid
ered that the advance of her people
had been most wonderful, coining as
they did so recently from the kinds of
slavery.
Tlte.se schools, sho said, are the result
the endeavors of the colored people
themselves. Sho visited one college,
near Savannah, which is on a planta
tion where there had been hundreds of
slaves, but where now there were !I00
lino you tig colored men being edu
cated. Still on this same plantation
are the old cabins tho samo as they
wero in tho days of slavery. She
spoke of the thrift of the colored pecplo
in many places, and of their place
among tlie industries of tho Southland,
talking with great force along this lino,
and demonstrating the capabilities of
tho colored raco for development and
progress. Tho speaker said that sho
hail entered tho work among her own
people about 1805. She spoke of her
visit to Loudon as the delegate in 1HUII
to the world's W. U. T. U. convention,
when she became the guest of Lady
J Henry Somerset. Tho same year sho
had attended the llrst great convention
of cohned women of tho South, which
convened at Atlanta, Ga., and was
there chosen presiding ollleer.

"IIi-oh ii'm III Town."
An intended laugh is tho way the
management of "Ilrown's in Town"
describes tho newest farce which will
bo tho attraction at I'ordray's next
week. It is ruploto with hiiiiioious
complications, and is said to brim
over with witty thrusts and a choice
selection of catchy musical numbers.
Tho action of thu farce all takes place
during one summer's day in tho coun
try homo of a man supposed to bo Mr.
lirown, but in nnility is the young
hero. The plot hinges on the desire
of a young man who marries at tho
ago of '2'i against the wishes of bis
father and takes his bride to the coun
try phn'o to concoct a schemo whereby
ho can break the news to his irate
parent. Ho wishes to bo alone, but
his friends and relatives happen in,
and to keep his marriage a secret,
causes quite a uumlicr of complications
to arise. Three acts are used ill which
to tell tho story, the llrst being morn
ing, the second afternoon and the third
night.
