EMANCIPATION DAY. How the Colored People Here Will Cel- ebrate It Next Month. THE MEETING AT JOHNSON'S HALL LAST NIGHT— AYTER DISCUSSION IT 18 RESOLVED TO HAVE A PARADE ON THE SIXTEENTH OF APRIL—DB. SUMBT ELECTED CHIEF MARSHAL. Peace and harmony prevailed at the emanci- pation meeting held last evening in Johnson's hall on B street. The good order was so pro- nounced that the temporary chairman, Rev. Robert Johnson. felt called upon several times tosuspend his functions as presiding officer to commend the delegates upon their excellent behavior. At the same time he reminded the delegates that he was in the habit of having good order at the meetings where he presided and this statement was indorsed by expressive ejaculations from all parts of the room. Under Brother Johnson's firm hand the delegates pro- ceeded to elect permanent officers. While the committee on credentials were absent from the hall short speeches were made? by George Bos- ton, J. D. Baltimore and linlph Wormley. These speakers touched upon the only ques- tion about which there seemed to be a diff- erence of opinion and that was whether eman- cipation day should be celebrated by a street arade or by public meetings in the churches, | firsttwo speakers FAVORED ABANDONING THE PROCESSION feature of the di Mr. Baltimore graphically painted the character of the crowd that ac- companied the procession and said that it was composed of the worst class of the colored people. The public were apt to judge the en- tire colored population from the crowd that thronged the streets. He was of the opinion that such spectacles were an injury rather than a help to the colored race. themselves and their friends for the means to e up a street display he thought that it would wiser to have public meetings. and by tak- ing a small admission fee at the door a fund woul be accumulated which could be used in establishing a home for aged people or a re- formatory for girls. On the other hand Mr. Ralph Wormley spoke as the advocate of the present method of cele- brating the day. He said that it would be im; uble to get the people into the churches and if there was no p there would be no celebration of the day. Further speech-making was interrupted by the arrival of the committee on credentials, ELECTION OF PERMANENT OFFICERS. After their report had been accepted Geo. Boston, W. Calvin Chase and W. H. Booker Were nominated for permanent chairmen. It wag necessary to take two yea and nay votes before the election of W. Calvin Chase was an- nounced. 5S. E. Jones was elected secretary and B. A. McDonald assistant secretary. Then the question arose as to whether a marshal should be elected and William Brown moved, in order to get the sense of the conven- tion, that there should be a street parade, A long debate followed. FOR AND AGAINST A PARADE. Objection was made to a parade on the ground of expense and that it would be neces- sary toask the aid of white people. Reference was made to the scenes ou such occasions and to the disagreements among the colored people arising from the choice of leaders and the collection of money. It was urged on the other side that this was & tangible mode of celebration, which re- minded the young of the past and enabled them to appreciate the blessings of freedom. It was claimed that those who had taken part in former years now opposed the celebration and it was suggested that they had better step aside and let the young element come to the front. John Marshall, W. C. Cox. Rev. Mr. Johnson and W. H. Jackson favored public meetings, while William Brown. York Smith, Ralph Wormley and others favored a parade. TO PARADE APRIL 16. When the vote was taken it was foynd that those who wanted a parade were in the ma- jority. Wnen this conclusion was reached Dr. 8. A. Sumby and W. H. Booker were nominated for the position of chief marshal and the former was elected.

The presence of Peter Jackson, the cele- brated colored champion in Washington, has created quite a stir in local sportirg circles. This is attested by the large attendance at Kernan’s theater nightly to see the Australian pugilist and Jack Ashton spar, and is further demonstrated by the numbers who congregate around the doors of places visited by Jackson anxious to catch a glimpse of the man who is expected to meet Sullivan. Jackson has made many friends in Washing- ton by his good behavior, and it is learned from those who accompanied him through his recent European tour that he was feted everywhere aud pleased all with whom he came in contact. He brought back with him from England quite anumber of presents which he received from friends he had won in the old country, On the other hand Jackson's prestige as a fighter has fixed even some of the local slug- ers with feelings of envy, and this has, no Sat, been further increased by the offer of Mr. Chas. E. Davies, Jackson's manager, of a purse of $100 to any pugilist whom Jackson cannot stop in four rounds. % Already there have been several applications to meet Jackson, and two at least of the num- ber have been accompanied with deposits of #20 each with Mr. Ker: a8 guarantee that they will appear and spar Jackson on the terms of Parson Davies’ offer. The first of these is a blacksmith named Walker residing in Georgetown, and it is said that he has a backer who is willing to bet that Walker will stay the necessary iour rounds, Walker has the reputation of ouce having made @ stubborn set to with John L. Sullivan, He will spar Jackson on Thursday evening. On Friday evening a hereulean gipsy named Guy will make a bid for the $100 prize. Guy | weighs 230 pounds, and has the reputation of being a hard mantodown. Uther pugilists are ae of as likely to oppose Jacksou during e week. —_—_ Annual Banquet of Carroll Institute.

Mrs. Edwin Lippincott Disappears From Her Home in Medford. Early Sunday morning Mrs, Edwin Lip- pincott, the Mount Holly, N.J., forger, picked her trunk, sent it to the depot and had it | checked for Philadelphia and followed it on the first train, An inquiry was made at the house as to when she would return, but no one knew. She might ‘never return, Evidence of a number of additional forgeries was dis- covered in the afternoon on the arrival of several business men of Atlantic City, each of whom had been victimized into discounting forged notes in the name of Mary A. Haines and Edwin Lippincott. Mrs, Haines was pros-, trated at learning that fresh trouble was in store, “Of course, I am not responble,” she said, “for any of these forged notes or mortgages, but I fear it will ruin me if I am called upon to defend all the suits with which’ I am now threatened. I never gave a mortgage on the house in which I am living. and the mortgage that has been referred to is a forgery, as are also all of the promissory notes in existence with my name attached,” Among the banks who held some of the forged paper are the Merchauts and Second National of Atlantic City, the Union and Farmers national banks of Mount Holly, and the National State and First National banks of Camden, The National State bank has already begun suit on three notes against | Edwin Lippincott and Mary A. Haines, who put in a defense of forgery. A warrant was sworn out at Camden by F. C. Lippincott of that city for the arrest of Mrs. Julia C, Lippincott, the wife of the At- lantic City hotel proprietor, accusing her of forgery. Suits were brought at Mount Holly on three notes purporting to be signed by Mra. Lippincott’s husband and her sister, Mrs. Haines, The defense set up is that the signa- tures are forgeries, *LABOR IN EUROPE, Program for the Proposed Conference in Switzerland. The Swiss government has issued the pro- gram which is to form the basis of the labors andthe inquiries of the labor conference. It includes the following points: 1. In what degree. if at all, should the state restrict Sunday work? 2. What is the minimum age below which the employment of children in factories should be prohibited? 3. What should be fixed as a maximum day's work for workmen or women tndor full age? 4. Should the hours of compulsory attend- ance at school which are now required by law be counted as part of a day's work for juvenile workers, 5. Should the maximum length of a day's work for juveniles vary according to the ages, and during what hours should the working time be tixed? 6. What restrictions are necessary in the employment of women and children im un- healthy and dangerous occupations? 7. Should the state permit the employment of women and children in occupations carried on at night time? 8, How can the state best put into effect and enforce the labor regulations it makes?

White yester- day took possession of the mammoth tobacco factory of Bloch Brothers at Eff and 41st streets, in Wheeling. W.Va., in the name of the govern- ment. The allegation of the goverament is thatthe Blochs have defrauded the internal revenue department out of a considerabie sum of money through sending out packages of tobacco weighing considerably more than they suould. For instance, two-ounce packages were made to weigh three ounces and four-ounce packages five or six yunces. The firm claims the trouble was caused by girls making up the packages too heavy, aud that it was in no sense the result of design. se caer Brewer Ruppert Sued for $750,000.

Few continental statesmen have in our generation presented such a digui- fied and romantic figure as Count Andrassy, He was the head of oneof the oldest and proudest Magyar families, its legendary origin going tack nearly nine hundred years. Born in 1823'at Zemplin he received his education from his father, Count Charles Andrassy, bim- self aman eminent for learning, and entered public life in 1847, when he was returned to the Hungarian provincial diet. He imme- diately gained reputation and took a leading part in tue revolution of 1848, At its close he sought safety in Paris, where for some time he was a brilliant figure, but afterward fell into ill-fortune and poverty and was reduced to giv- ing lessons on the guitar in London, 49 returucd home after the amnesty of 1857, when his political career began again, and after the Austro-Peassian war of 1866 he became one of the leaders of the Hungarian party in its struggle for self-government, When, in 1887, the emperor granted the restoration of the old Hungariwu coustitution, Andrassy was appointed premier ®f the Hungarian jiet. His influence on European affairs was quickly felt and Bie- marek was quick to recognize his ability. In 1870 Andrassy showed his gratitude to Bis- marck by holding back the Hungarian diet from declaring sympathy with France, In 1871 Andrassy was made foreign minister and continued in that office, the culminating point of his career, until after the congress of Berlin. For the lust ten years Count Audrassy has supported M.

The color question in the diocese of South Carolina Las cropped out again, For over 100 years the diocesan convention, whenever held in Charleston, has always met in St. Philip's church. At the last convention, which was held in Aiken, it was decided that the conven- tion of 1890 should meet in St. Philli in Charleston, It is now announced that met urch, the congregation of St. Phillip’s having notified the bishop that will not permit the con- vention tu meetin their church, The dejezates of St. Phillip’s are the Jeaders in the opposition to the admission of the colored clergy, and led the secession from the convention several years ago. ‘Lhe color question is expected to turn up again in the coming convention, Jumped Down a Well.

In point of fact, if may be truthfally said that it is without an equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tux Sra on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the pointe upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star bas three times the circu- tation of auy other paper in Wasbing- ton! 2, The Star’s circulation in Washing- ton is double that of allthe other daily Papers published in the city added to- gether!! 3. She Star has a targer and taller } eircuiation im the city where printed, tm proportion te reading and purchas- ‘tng population, than any ether news- phper im the world!!! 4. The Siar bas the targest regutar and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper in the United Sunses fii! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: WALLY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87-88-89. 1883. 1886 1887. ISSS.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular garriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per- manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), 60 that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there | fore gives Tux Stan a distinctive and enviable | position in modern journalism, the fullness of | its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the | household, and particularly by the pure chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, te which no other daily Journal now published can furnistra parallc. ‘This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to ‘the full satisfaction of the sagacious and euter- prising business men of Washington, who seck aud know where to find THE LARGEST ! RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PalD OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the | growth of Tue Stan's advertising patronage. ‘ Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for its—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse Claims and pretentiouscompetition, The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS /RINTED Et 1S85-86-87-88-3 1ss7. 3,613 347 4,669 3,478 5,305 4,522 33st 3,170 4,517 3,313 INSS, 4,076 3,924 BeGUREERLE SE? whereas for the year 1889 the daily sverage was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns ia the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious year of 1444columns! And this, it must be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election retarns, ete,, such as occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included in its patron age. ‘In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, in proportion to the extent and high character of ite circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereia made can be abuffdantly verified. THE CIR- CULATION OF THE PAPER IS SWORN TO; TTS PRESS AND CIRCULATION BOOMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 40 INTEREST IN THEIR EXAMINATION.
