REV. WALLACE EXTOLLS WORKS OF UflSHIfJGTOtl, SERVANT OF HTOAtJITY

No man In Richmond is better qualified to talk about Booker T. Washington that the Rev. J. P. Wallace, at whose church memorial services were held Sunday night to honor the memory of the dead leader of the negro race. Mr. Wallace and Dr. Washington were friends for twenty years, and his remarks concerning the friend who ' has . passed to the great beyond are interesting. Rev. Wallace said: "Most of the grand characters of ante-bellum days have passed, and the others are swifty being removed from the stage of action. Many of their labors are now records of history. But in the passing, as grand and noble as many have been, no stroke of death has removed a nobler or more useful character than Booker T. Washington. "In bis death a character of worldwide reputation passed. This country lost one of its most useful and fore- . most citizens. The colored people lost their most distinguished advocate and ' defender. His life was all the more remarkable, because he was a product of ante-bellum day a slave boy. "The step from slavery to a character of world-wide reputation, to one of the foremost citizens of this large, wealthy, populous country is simply a stride unmeasurable and hardly conceivable. Times and conditions gave the opportunity to the large, noble soul of Washington, touched with the spirit

of Dr. Hawkins, who was the noblest of the New England type, and by General Armstrong, who was the son of ' an early missionary to Hawaii, and born on the island, furnished the Inspiration to Washington. The New England purity and the missionary zeal, reinforced by tutors of self-sacrificing women of the abolitionist and Puritanic stock fired the soul of Washington with a zeal to 'Go thou, and do likewise,' and touched as he had been by the cruel curse of slavery, having tasted its baneful influence, he forgot self and began living for others. "As Moses, General Washington and Lincoln was born characters of destiny, so was Booker Washington. He became a Moses to his race and a Lincoln to his country. Schooled in Egyptian bondage, the burning bush was ever before him to inspire his courage, and the pillar of cloud and tire led him on to certain success. "He knew no Alps too high to climb, nor no valley of despair too deep to descend. Nor was there a night so

dark but what the pillar of fire cast a halo of hope and light on Its horizon. Difficult tasks which would have daunted the average man's courage, were hut incidents and spurs to his success, lie knew, no discouragement, accepted no defeats. He believed 'where there was a will there was a way' He sat rot down to weep in despair.' He had a Message that was burning in his ' t(v as the fire burned in Isaiah's

i r ics ..- vviin- mis - message uau ua- ( aumcd courage he knocked at closed dcors. Mis courage and faith in God and man drew the bolts, loosened the tarn and opened the doors which made Tuskesee possible. He raised from his individual efforts over $150,000 per year to run the school, besides a $1,000,000 endowment and $700,000 of property value. His message was the voice of 4,000,000 outraged freedmen who were innocent victims of the cruel institution of slavery. Their cry was no longer 'freedmen,' but an opportunity for a better, higher and nobler life a man's chance. No race ever had a leader who was truer to his

trust, and in such a short time accomplished so much for his people, and did so much for his country. "He linked his life and soul to the 4,000,000 of degraded, ignorant and debauched freedmen. It was a stupendous task. Even the courageous, wealthy, cultured Caucasion staggered at the Herculean task, but it was left to Washington to pave the way and lay the foundation on which morality, intelligence and thrift was established and increased among the 4,000,000 freedmen at a rate so rapid that it challenges the records of history to excell it. "This country has produced no grer.ter man than Lincoln was, because lie liberated the slave and gave industrial freedom to the white artisans of America. Lincoln was the apostle of Industrial freedom. Washington became his successor as the apostle of industrial training. Lincoln freed and Washington trained the hand and dignified labor. His work is centralized at Tuskegee, but it is world-wide. It was he who set In motion the waves of influence which have swept over ttds country in the last twenty years in favor of industrial training, .until todiy manual training has become a fixed part of the curriculum of most all (be schools in this county and is rapil.ly spreading, and is destined soon to become world-wide. "The colored people only share a part in the benefits of his life's woik. The people of this country at large share in the benefits. The boys aud girls, irrespective of race, who are being trained in manual arts owe him a debt of gratitude for the opportunity that the public schools furnish them. "Yes, we mourn his loss, because he was a true friend of manknid.. He was honest, upright and courageous for the right. He did his work well. It can be truthfully said a great man has fallen. He lived for others. He gave his time, his talents, his energies, his courage to the uplift of his fellowman. He wore himself out in his constant toil of an unselfish life for his race and his country. "Washington is gone, but the waves of influence he has set in motion touch and quicken millions today, and will run on and on to limitless bounds. "Tuskegee with all its magnificence

does not represent all of his life's work." He now lives as an inspiration in the hearts and minds of millions, and as man's work lives after him, Washington will be like Pestalozzi,

De Qulncey, Plato and Aristotle, who'

still live in their works. So will Washington live on down the ages to bless mankind. "The Great Rewarder who called Moses from the leadership of Israel on Nebo's lofty height, summoned Washington to . lay down his scepter, discharged him from his command, bid him his work was done, and on last Sunday morning, just before the break of day, the t'ired hero and worn chieftan quietly folded his arms and passed to his eternal reward."

Dandruffy Heads Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it. then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten i he scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. Adv.

TTie Blindness of Virtue

Strikes a Human Chord that Sets the World Vibrating Once in an epoch there comes a photoplay that carries a special appeal; that reaches the depths of the inner consciousness and awakens an entire nation to a new view of life. Through every heart runs a vein of human emotion, which touched, responds in all alike. "The Blindness of Virtue" carries this special appeal. It strikes this universal chord that sets the heart of the world vibrating. This six-act Essanay photoplay, written by Cosmo Hamilton, is more than entertaining ; it is fascinating. Its artistry of production is perfect ; its scenic beauty is unsurpassed and the acting is supreme. But above all there is a heart appeal to mothers, to fathers, to daughters, to sons. It calls for the saving to the nation of the flower of its womanhood by teaching the truths of life and love. It is this special appeal that lifts this photoplay above the level of the merely excellent play to the plane of a masterpiece. Edna Mayo and Bryant Washburn, in the leading roles, bring out all the strong points of the play with a mastery that makes every heart respond.

The Original Thanksgiving Celebration

was held in New England nearly Three Centuries ago. Home Comforts as we know them today were almost unknown among the pecmle of that time. Artistic Furniture was possessed by the Nobility alone, or a very limited wealthy fewP Today, thanks to the Productiveness of our Great Country and the Development of Machinery, Good Artistic Furniture (which Kings in the past would have been proud to own) is now within the reach of any one with moderate means. The Motto of Worth, not Birth, handed down through Successive Generations, has also been a great Factor in our Progress. "Home Furnishing" today is being Standardized. Experimental Designing is a thing of the past. The Classic or Period Styles, which include the Best Designs of the past Three Hundred Years, are now the vogue. They are like the Classics in Literature and Music, that never go out of Fashion, always Live and are in Good Taste. Among them are Elizabethan, Jacobean, William and Mary, Sheraton, Chippendale, Louis Periods, Colonial, Flemish, Adam, Mission, etc. - The Great Aim and Purpose of "The Weiss Furniture Store" is to select the Best in these Styles, and offer them to our Customers at such Popular Prices as to be within the reach of all. We have grouped together for Thanksgiving and are showing on our floors, Suits of Furniture that for Style and Beauty .cannot be surpassed, and at less than one half the price at which such goods formerly sold. We make a Study of the Home alone. Our Store is a Furnishing Shop where the choice Things at the Lowest Prices in Furniture, Floor Coverings and Draperies can be had.
