Speeches Made by Colored Orators at Last Night's Serenade. Col. Perry Carson displayed his ability as a leader of the colored people and his power to control them when he headed a procession of nearly four hundred colored men on Pennsyl- vania avenue, on its way to the house of Maj. Fred Brackett, who was to receive a compli- mentary serenade by Col. Carson's friends. The serenade had been arranged in honor of Maj. Brackett, who is to leave for Europe in about a week as special agent of the world’s Columbian exposition. ‘The procession formed in front of Carson's Hotel, No. 326 Pennsyivania avenue, and fully 3,000 persons gathered on the street to see the start. The Capital City Band furnished music for the occasion and each civilian in line wore @ rosebud and carried a cane. ‘THOSE PARTICIPATING. The clubs and other organizations in line were the Knights of Reciprocity, fifty men, un- der J. B. Welborn; the Legion of Honor, ninety-five men; the National League, 100 men, and the Blaine Invincibles, headed by Col. Car- son, with 150 men. There were also two com- price of [the atier Guards, under Capts. fjoung and Selby. Chinese lanterns, torches and transparencies were numerous, each trans- parency bearing an inscription. “Carson is our standard bearer” was on one of them, while on another was “Obio and Io will not be backward in coming forwar Upon others were, inscriptions urging the pas- sage of the Blair bili and urging the Commis- sioners to appoint negroee in the police and fire departments. It was gueariy 8 o'clock when the procession ig Pennsylvania avenue to 10th streot and thence northward to the residence of Col. Brackett on T street between 9th and 10th streets northwest. COL.

The name of Presideut Harrison was loudly applauded. ‘MR. MORRIS’ SPEECH. Mr. C. 8. Morrie also spoke at length and in regard to President Harrison's course, he said: ‘There are two ways ‘in which an administra- tion can show its friendship to any particular class of people who are so unfortunate as to be regarded as a separate class It can ignore that condition as far as circumstances will per- mit and strive to benefit it as far as in its power lies, An administration can show its friendship by championing measures that will more efiectually secure rights withheld, and A Pam or Parext Stirs given with overy child’s suit.

Welling, the president of the uni- versity, made an eloquent and instructive ad- dress, in which he traced the history of the law schcol from its establishment and recited the yearly increase in its students. From the be- ning it had been the purpose of the univer- ity authorities to establish a law school which should be amcng the first inthe land. This re- sult having been accomplished, it was now be- lieved that the faculty in its distinguished per- sonnel, comprising members of the Supreme Court of the United States, members of the Su- preme Court of the District, an assistant attor- ney general of the United States, the United States commissioner of patents and others, might be regarded as the first. Dr. Welling then went on to remark that the authorities of the university were nut satisfied even with this high achievement, but had already projected a new school, to be called the school of comparative jurisprudence, in which the jural thought of ‘the human race from the earliest grades of culture to its highest evolution in the code of Rome and the common law of England should be passed inreview. Reference was made to the fact that the chief justice of Louisiana, the Hon. Edward Edmund Bermudez, would deliver a course of lectures during the current year on the Roman civil law as exemplified in the code of Louisi- ana, and would follow up this course with a se- Ties of lectures on the relation which the Roman civil law has to the civilization of the world and the relation which it has had more especially on the English common law and the law of na- tions. Addresses were also made by the other mem- bers of the fuculty, who, in addition to those mentioned above, are as follows: Justices Har- Jand and Brewer, Judge Cox, Assistant Attor- ney General Maury, Chief Justice of Louisiana Bermudez, H. E. Davis, ex-ussivtant attorney for the District, and W. F. Mattingly. Mr. A. S. Worthington, formerly District attorney, who is a member of the faculty, was not present, MEDICAL AND DENTAL DEPARTMENTS. The opening session of the medical and den- tal departments of the university were also held last evening. Some 200 students have al- ready registered and of this number seventy ure new students. A lecture on general medi- cal prudence was delivered by Dr. D. K. Shute, who was welcomed back after an ab- sence of ayear. Dr. William Donnelly deliv- ered the address to the dentists. NATIONAL COLLEGE OF PHARMACY. ‘Tho National College of Pharmacy entered upon anew year of work last evening with over one hundred new students. Additions are expected during the weck and the con- tinuance of the thorough course of instruction which has marked the history of the institu- tion isinsured by the fact that the members of the faculty are the same as last year. HOWARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. The students of the medical department of Howard University met last evening and en- tered upon their year’s work. ‘The largo at- tendance was a gratifying indication of the appreciation of the labors of the faculty in the past, The dean of the fuculty, Dr. Mord, and assistants were present. Rev. Dr. Rankin, the president of the uni- versity, opened the session with prayer. An interesting lecture was delivered by Dr. J. M. Lamb on the “Evolution of the Microscope.” THE LAW scHooL. The law school of the university was also opened last evening. An address was made by President Rankin and then Prof. B. 8. Leighton detivered his inaugural lecture, the theme be- ing “Ihe General Deportment of Law Stu- dents.” The attendance this year shows an in- crease over that of last year. ) oe THE CASE OF GEORGE TALBERT. Judge Miller Thinks Him Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity. The caso of George Talbert, the plumber, re- cently from the insane asylum, charged with threatening his wifo, as published in yester- day's Stax, was tried in the Police Court today. Maj. A. C. Richards represented the defend- ant and Mr. Mullowney appeared for the prose- cution. Mr. Richardson was present in behalf of the District in the interest of having Talbert returned to the acylam should it turn out that he was of unsound mind. His bondsmen were also present. As published in yesterday's Stan, Mr.Tal- bert was released on $1,000 bond from the asylum, and his conduct at home was such that nis wife again complained that she was in fear. Judge Miller decided from the testimony that Talbert was not guilty by reason of insanity, and he, therefore, disinissed the case. In doin; so the judge wuggested that the facts be laid before Judge Cox upon a motion to have the order for his rel and bond rescinded. Sanitary Oficer Frank, who has spent con- siderable time looking after the case, will prob- ass have the case before a marshal’s jury. teapot AGAINST A HACK STAND. ‘The One at Thomas Circle Declared to Be = Nuisance. Capt. H. C. Jones has written a letter to the Comunissioners protesting against the hack stand at Thomas Circle. He says that when Congréss gave the Society of the Army of the Cumberland permission to erect the monument which adorns that circle and aids in beautify- ing the city the place was a barren spot and an ugly eye-sore to the city. The monument is the work of the Society of the Army of tho Cumberland and the circle which it adorns was never intended to be used as a livery stable door yurd. “he toleration of the hack stand, he continues, ‘is an insult to the society that built it and an indignity to one of the grandest mon san ever shown upon.
