SPEECHES MADE CENSURING THE DISTRICT COM- MISSIONERS FOR THEIR REPORTED INTENTION TO CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE COLORED SCHOOL—RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. Georgetown’s colored citizens held a mass- meeting last night at Ebenezer A. M. E. church to discuss the talked-of change in the location of the colored public school-house in that place. The edifice was crowded with indignant men, but the business before them was trans- acted in a very orderly manner. The meeting was called to order by John H. Ferguson, and then prayer was offered. When this was con- cluded a committee, consisting of Dr. C. B. Crusor, A. T. Brown and A. Locke was ap- pointed to give expression, in resolutions, to the hitherto pent-up feelings of the colored people of Georgetown respecting the projected removal of colored pupils of the Wormley school building to the Montgomery-street school-house. While the committee were at work on the resolutions the meeting was, at its urgent request, ADDRESSED BY EX-SCHOOIL-TRUSTER BROOKS, who skétched the history of the purchase of the site for the Wormley building, and said that he officially approved the selection before it was purchased. It was bought, he said, of Mr. Mitchell, the present school trustee for the fifth distric The Montgomery-street site was, he elaimed, utterly unfit for school pul 8, and in this opinion the District Commissioners and the school trustees all agreed at one time. Its purchase later could hardly be understood. The object, however, had now become per- fectly plain. ‘The Commissioners intended re- moving the colored children from the Worm- ley building and locating them in the undesir- able Montgomery-street building. THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE on resolutions was then presented by Dr. Cru- sor, and agreed to, It reads as follows: “Whereas the Commissioners have, for un- just reasons, prepared to remove the Wormley school to a place unfit for the same purpose the present is used, and. whereas we doubt the legal and moral reasons contemplated, be it resolved that we, the colored citizens of West Washington, do solemnly enter our protest against “the proposed movement; that the movement is illegal, unjust and unfair discrim: nation on account of color and past conditio: that the money appropriated for the specific pur} » to build the Wormley school was wise, judicious and appropr hiat the transfer of the colored school children to another build- ing would be diametrically opposed to the best interest of the colored children of West Wash- ington. and that a committee of five be ap- pointed to co-operate with the committee ap- ointed on February 5 at the Fifteenth-Street Presbyterian church.” CLOSING REMARKS. Mr. Crusor, sr., made a few remarks on the subject, in which he referred to Mr. Cox as the person to be especially benefited in this matter. He (Crusor) was delighted to know that but a few days more of office remained to the Com- missioners. Chairman Ferguson also made a brief speech, and i. D. Ruffin read a letter from School Trustee Mitchell, in which it was stated that the Commissioners had not taken any action in the matter as yet. COMMITTEE APPOINTED. The committee appointed under the resolu- tion consists of Dr. C. B. Crusor, Charles F. Mosby, A. T. Brown, Jas. Davenport, James L. Turner. JOHN H. es The Georgetown Jewelry Robbery. ARREST OF A MAN CHARGED WITH RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS. On Friday night last the residence of Mrs. Cynthia Downman, No. 2926 P street, George- town, was entered by thieves while the family were at tea, the entrance being effected by climbing over a balcony and into the bath- room. Several of the rooms were entered, and over $100 worth of jewelry was taken. Among other articles stolen was a silver card-case. on which the name of Mrs, Downman appeared. On Saturday a neighbor of Mrs. Downman stopped at the establishment of Edw. Stolpe, on Pennsylvania avenue, between 17th and isth streets, and bought a number of articles, among them this card-case. Thinking that she ought to let her neighbors know what bargains werefto be found she showed them to Mrs. Downman, and the latter at once said, “This is my card-case,” and identified it. Detecti ‘arter was informed of these facts, and supposing that the rest of the articles might be found went to Stolpe’s, who at first denied all knowledge of the articles. When shown the card-case he acknowledged that he had bonght and sold it, and also bought a pair _ of bracelets and earrings worth #25, which he had melted up and rolled into plates. The officer then swore outa warrant charging him with receiving stolen goods, on which the arrest was made. and he is held for a hearing.

Tribes differ in languages, ‘religion, etc., but those of the same linguistic stock re- semble in many respects. In order to under- stand Indian personal names, one must learn something about the tribal’ organization, its division into clans or gentes, its taboos, its tra- ditions of the origin of the elans, etc.. the (partial) explanations of which will be found by your readers in the publications of the bureau of ethnology. Speaking of the Indians in Montana, whose names are in the Dakota language, your contributor says that he is coy sie to find “that there does not appear in this large number” (of per- sonal names) “to be a single repetition in the Indian vernacular.” The following has been the Omaha rule: There must not be more than ohe person in a gens at any one time bearing the same male name. For instance, when, in any household, a child is named “Young Biack Bear,” no other male infant can receive that name until the first receives a new name or dies. The Dakota word *‘wa-kan” has been often rendered “medicine.” The true meaning is “myste to the mind of a Dakota is * may include the practice of medicine. So to-wa-kan” is ‘Mystery Grizzly B “Mysterious Grizzly Bear.” the b robably been seen in a vision or dream, either By the present bearer of the name or by some one of his gens. “Yellow Eagle” was not named in honor of “the symbol of American liberty.” If he is nota member of an Eagle gens, it is probable that he dreamed of such an eagle. or he thought that he saw it in a vision after a fast. The frequent oceurrence of colors in these names may be explained on further investigation by color symbolism. Very inter- esting discoveries have been made among the Cherokees, Zunis, Navajos, and other tribes, who use colors to symbolize the cardinal points of the compass, or, rather, the gods that are supposed to dwell in the four quarters of the world or sky. Your correspondent is, in my opinion, correct in what he says about “Atraid of Bear.” “Mato Kokipa,” judging from anal- ogy, means “even ‘a grizzly bear fears to meet him.” He is evidently a very brave man. Ta-shun-ka ko-ki-pa-pi. mouly translated “Man Afraid of His means “They Fear Hix Horse.” ‘The man has such a reputation for bravery that the sight of his horse (without the rider) is enough to put his foes to flight. There are many elliptical names, such as Big Foot (of a buffalo, elk, &c.), not that of a human being. Such names are common in tribes that name their clans after animals. ‘Bear Eagle” reminds me that there are composite-animal names, as Moon Hawk Human-Female,* Eagle, Thunder-bird, Pigeon Thunder-bird, &e. “*Much-more-corn- comes-up-than-was-planted Female” isa very short name (not more than four syllables) in the original. — "Cor Feumpare the composite pictures of some of the ‘akomA Panx, D.

Commissioners have written to Dr. John Tancis, a trustee of the public schools, in reply to a letter from him inquiring whether the Commissioners had taken any action look- ing to the transfer of the pupils from the Wormley building to the new school house which is to be erected on Montgomery street, in Georgetown. They say that no action of any kind has ever been taken by them, and that no such action will ever be taken except after a consultation with, and the approval of the trus- teesof schools. They say further that it would be an act not only of discourtesy to the trus- tees of schools, but contrary to the course always pursued by the present Commissioners toward the school authorities.

The police are paying particular attention to the crowds of young men and boys who con- gregate on street corners and make night hideous to many persons who retire at an early hour. Lately several such gangs have been broken up by the officers, who will con tinue the work until there are fewer disorderly gatherings on the corners. In the winter such crowds are not so numerous, but as the spring approaches the warmer weather brings them out of doors, Such gath- erings cause many complaints to be made to police headquarters, but the complainants are not often willing to appear as witnesses, as the disorderly boys are sons of their neigh- bors, The officers are after such violators of the law.

The police lieutenants had a discussion at headquarters this morning at their regular daily meeting on the question of “specials” for the inauguration. Lieut. Gessford, who has been sick for sev- eral days, returned to duty this morning. Last night in the eight police stations twenty lodgers were accommodnted. It is noticeable that most of the lodgers are white men, there being put few colored persons who apply for accommodations. The police attribute this state of affairs to the fact that colored persons can usually find a friend who will give them shelter for a night. A dangerous hole in the carriage way on 15th, between I and K streets, is reported. A broken hydrant is reported on H street northeast, near Delaware avenue. ee gee ee The Emancipation Convention.

The question of the location of the new club house has been an absorbing topic among the Columbia Athletic club men for some time. At @ meeting last night the report of the building committee, together with the recommendations of the board of governors, authorizing the pur- chase ot what is known as the G-street prop- erty was agreed to. The property is owned by Mr. John R. McLean, and is located on G street, between 17th and 18th. It contains 27,521 square feet. The price to be paid is not to ex- ceed $45,000, to be payable in twenty years, at 5 per cent interest. Mr. McLean offers to ex- pend $25,000 on the erection of the club-house provided the club spend a like amount, he to receive 6 per cent interest. This proposition was also agreed to, andthe club was author- ized to issue second-mortgage bonds to cover the indebtedness. On the walls of the reading- room last night were hung plans of the new club-house, and also a statement detailing the scheme for paying its indebtedness. The build- ing will be a handsome structure, four stories anda basement. Among the features of the new house will be the gymnasium, which will oceupy the entire third floor, and a swimming- tank on tbe first floor.

Cardinal Gibbons, on behalf of the arch- bishops and bishops of the Catholic church in the United States, has written a letter to Pope Leo XIII condoling with him on his situation and the causes of discontent connected there- with. chief of which is his deprivation of tem- poral power. subjecting him to restriction more or less by the Italian government. The letter expresses the heartfelt sympathy of the Catholic hierarchy and clergy of this country with the head of their church. The cardinal not yet received notice of the reception of his letter by the pope, but expects when he hears it has reached its destination, to make the letter publi —_~>____ (Public Ledger, Philadeiphia.) The Forthcoming International Chess Congress. “One of the chief topics of interest to chess players at the present time,” said a well-posted expert the other day, “is the international chess congress which will open at New York in April next. A fund exceeding £5,000 has been | subscribed by chess enthusiasts from all parts of the civilized world, and of this amount over 23,000 hag been paidin. This fund will be divided into cash pri . First, $1,000; second, #750; third, 2600; fourth, $500; fifth. 2400; sixth, #300; seventh, #200. It is possible that, if the receipts warrant, these prizes. may be materially increased, und it is probable that special prizes will be offered for extremely brilliant games and other features of excel- lene: “Is it anticipated that chess pla: abroad will enter the congress?” was “Most assuredly. Chess professionals, as a rule, are not overburdened with cash, znd the congress offers too many inducements cially to be passed over lightly. In_ fac Messrs. J. H. ackbacne) the famous blind- fold player; Isadore Gunsberg, the present English champion, and James Mason, consid- ered by many good judges one of the greatest match’ players in the world, are already en route for this country. Beside these, England will doubtiess send Amos Burn, Dr. W. H. K. Pollock, H. E. Bird, James Mortimer, and perhaps others. France will doubtless be rep- resented by Simon Rosenthal and J, Tanhen- haus. Of the German masters, Von Gottschall, Harmonist, Von Bardeleben and Dr. Tarrasch are expected. Max Weiss, of Vienna. will prob- ably be the only Austrian to enter the contest. These will constitute an array of talent which can only be appreciated by chess players.” “What can this country oppose to such a host of chess Goliaths?” “First, there is Herr Wilhelm Steinitz, of | New York, the present chess champion of the | world, and Capt.

Every piece will be sold, without limit or reservation, The col- | lection is a grand one and no doubt will br: out the best people. in ead AMUSEMENTS. e ALBAUGH’s Orem Hovwe.—It is not often that a more thoroughly entertaining and whole- some play than th: at — last night is see Howard has written a comedy only just being great. evil of American life. insane rich, with a powerful yet. delical its moral lesson with pitiless boldness the tiie t r humorist, so a and direct is it ‘but there can belittle doubt he had the skill to do finer and and more artistic work ifhe had cared to. The broader satire will reach a wider audience, no doubt, than finer Work would have done. The story of “The Henrietta” deals largely with Wall street mane Mr. fase wi ccoryy Van- 4 e succt middle-a; pecu- lator, ‘whose eldest son, Niaokee jr, is with him in “the street,” and uses the information confidentially obtained to for- ward his own fortunes almost to the ruin of his father. Mr. Robson is Bertie, the younger son, a “lamb” on the street, and an ap- ntly feeble-minded dude up town, but at eart a good child. Mr. Robson's well-known peculiarities of utterance and action in his new tus nea come out very strong, and every- thing he did or said last night was greeted with a titter that frequently swelled into a roar. There are three love episodes runnin, — the play, two of them highly laughable and the third of genuine legitimate interest and man- aged witl vat skill. Mr. Crane, as the bi speculator, has a role that suits him well, an he fills it with that abundant vitality and unc- tuous humor which have made him dear to the hearts of all patrons of the stage. Mr. Kent as Nicholas, jr., Mr. Losee as the Doctor, Mr. Stoddard as the caricature of an English lord, Mr. Woodward as the minister, Mr. Bergman as the broker, Miss Wilton, Miss Rand and Miss Storey did work that deserves more particular notice than can be given here, making the per- formance one of unusual all-round merit. National Turaten.—If numerous outbursts of applause and the frequent appearance before the curtain of the leading members of the company are indications of the real temper of an audience, “Jocelyn.” Rose Coghlan’s new made a very favorable impression at the | terian church, ional last night. Stillthe play does not bear careful examination, and those who endeavored to follow the incidents closely last night were at times not alittle confused as to the drift of the ee The story lacks clearness in tion, the action is not direct, and inevitably the climaxes are not strongiy ef- fective. These are mostly faults of treatment, but besides there is little in the story that specially commends it to intelligent audiences of the day. Miss Coghlan’s part, to which she devotes her fine powers withaut reserve, does not appeal with any special force to the sympathies. Mr, Lackaye, whose rapid advance in his profession is noted with satisfaction by many friends in Washington, has, in the role of ‘the villain, Prince Saviani, a great amount of hard work. which he last night went through in a way that excited much flattering comment. The char- acter has been drawn in bold lines, but with little finesse, and its unrelieved badness makes it an ungrateful one to impersonate. Mr. Lackaye discharged his task, however, with a great degree of success. The fencing scene in the last act was an exciting episode, and an ad- ditional interest was lent it last night by a slight accident, Mr. Lackaye’s sword-point tm- fortunately coming in contact with Miss Cogh- lan’s lip, slightly cutting it. “Jocelyn” is well staged, much care having evidently been taken with the scenery and properties.

Haxnis’ Busou Taxater.—No patron of min- strelsy need be told how trathfully and comic- ally Milt. Barlow persona the darkey character, and so it is unnecessary to say that his Uncle Tom is a success, The old play went well at the Bijou theater last night. the large audience seeming to find in it as much to in- terest and amuse them as if it had been first presented this season. Tre Biscnork Concerts.—Notable features of the program of the Bischoff concert at C deerme church to-night will be the Swedish ‘olk Songs and the “Ker i vind” polka by the Swedish Ladies’ Octette: “My Native Vale,” by a quartette of the ladies, and Mr. Phelan‘s humorous recitations. An entirely different program will be given at Wednesday evening's concert. Kerxay’s Trrater.—Reilly & Wood's Spec- ialty company is particularly strong in its ath- letic features, and in addition there are some amusing and clever variety acts, making the entertainment altogether fully up to the aver- age of merit. Tue Grose TnEater.—The patrons of this house last night were entertained by a variety bill that seemed to give great satisfaction.

The exhibitiun will be open till 19 o'clock to-night.
