THRONGS OF VISITORS During the past week cards of invitation have been distributed by the faculty and pupils of the colored schools in general, and the High School in particular, requesting the recipients to attend an exhibition of drawing and manual art training, to be held at the High School building, on M street between Ist street and New Jersey avenue northwest. Promptly at 3 o'clock this afternoon the doors of four rooms in the big edifice, each of which has been the scene of mysterious happenings and unusual activity for several days past, were thrown open and an inter- ested throng allowed to look upon the re- sults accomplished by the young people un- der the instruction of Prof. T. W. Hunster, director of drawing of the colored schools, and his assistants, Messrs. W. S. Wormley and William Nixon. Exhibitions of this nature are compara- tively a rarity in Washington,it being about four years ago that the last one was at-| tempted. One large class room on the sec- ond iloor is devoted to a display of the work of the graded schools. On the tops of desks are studies in colors, forms and the combi- | nation of forms, as well as stick work and folding, the work of the little tots of the first and second grades. A step higher in | school life are samples of paper creations made from drawings. They include rosettes, borders and almost every imaginable de- vice. The development of the idea through is exemplified needlework from draw!ngs by clever girls of the seventh and eighth grades. The walis are also literally covered with attrac- tive specimens. Original Work. Upstairs on the top floor, in the northeast corner room is displayed the efforts of the third-year class of the High School and the High School class in mechanical drawing Prof. Hunster teaches the principles and his pupils are made to use their brains and de- velop the ideas, and they have done so suc- cessfully, for original plans of all manner of structures, from chicken houses to pago- das, are exhibited, the majority of them be- ing worthy of professional hands. From the drawings the pupils have constructed paper houses, churches, pavilions, vases and mny other pretty things in a most perfect manner. The large exhibition hall contains an elaborate display. Along the entire front of the platform are shown pencil drawings, and beneath them, to make clear the con- trast, are sketches in charcoal. Paintings of original designs in colors are arranged on the suls, as are :wo score of beautiful and wate wood carvings displaying the vari- ous steps in the development of the art, from the plain board to the completed panel. That the pupils are familiar w!th the meth- eds of blue printing is also proved by sev- eral excellent specimens. Above the platform may be seen stencil paintings, which require the utmost skill, | as the workers are compelied to originate thei wn patterns. Flower painting, object painting ond special needlework from orig- inal designs are among the features of the display in the hall. The room devoted to nortral school instruction is worthy of spe- cial mention. It contains one of the largest collections of color charts in the city. In addition to blackboard, clay, paper and color work, this department exhibits really artistic and beautiful wood carving, sign work, numbering and lettering in glass, panels, in plastico and plaster of Paris moldings. A Creditable Display. In the entire display no copying has been permitted. The work was done directly from designs originated by the pupils. Prof. Himster’s plan is to impress in the minds of the young people that drawings are of Some use beyond the mere looking at. His pupils do nothing without realizing the value of drawi Great credit is due the students and their instructors by the exhi- bition, which is well worth a visit. The dis- play is to continue until 6 o'clock this evening and tomorrow from 3 p. m. to 6 Pp. m, and from 7:30 p. m. untl 9:30 p. m. —_—_-__. THE DARK CONTINENT. Mr. J. Ormond Wilson Speaks of the Wonderful Material Resources. Mr. J. Ormond Wilson, formerly superin- tendent of the public schools of this city, delivered this morning before the students of Columbian Preparatory School an ex- ceedingly interesting and instructive lec- ture upon Africa, a continent to which his attention has been particularly directed by Teasen of the fact that he is secretary of the American Colonization Society. He said first that the small islands of Great Britain could not contain the peopie and the energy born and developed there, and that in con- sequence the adventurous and progressive spirits of England go forth to foreign lands to found new empires and to establish new States, all owing allegiance to the home country. Africa is today, in soil, the richest portion of the globe; many parts have not been seen by the eye of a white man. But changes are in progress. Soon the dark land will be known to the Caucasian race. In area Africa extends 35 degrees north of the equator and 35 degrees south. It is 20 Gegrees west of the meridian of Greenwich and degrees east. It is 5,000 miles from old Carthage to the south of Africa. From east to west it is also about 5,000 miles. It is four times as large as the United States. It resembles In form an inverted plate, on the rim low, toward the center elevated to a@ great plateau. The coast line is but lit- tle indented, showing but few harbors. There are no great chains of mountains like the Rocky mountains or the Himalaya range. The highest mountains are on the fast side, One peak being 20,000 feet high. There are not as many rivers as in America, but those that are there are large. The Big Rivers. The Nile is 3,000 miles long: so are the Niger and the Congo rivers. The Zambesi, 1,800 miles in length, is famous for its falls, which are said to equal Niagara. These falls in the river constitute a leading reason why Africa has not been farther explored, and yet the Congo and its tributaries fur- nish, in the Inland districts, 25,000 miles of waterway. The lakes give vast opportuni- ties for mercantile purposes. It is esti- mated that Africa has a population of 200,- 000,000, composed of four races—the Semitic, Bantu, negro, Caucasian. The Arabs over- ran Africa and passed over into southern Europe. The Zulus are in part descendants of these Arabs. There are about 200,000 whites, who can live comfortably on the ele- vated lands. There are from 600 to 1,000 missionaries now in Africa. All animals of tropical lands are found, and on the plateau territories those of the temperate zones. The elephant is the most valuable animal. Its tusks often weigh 110 pounds. The feathers of one ostrich are often worth $125. In this continent are found almost innumerable classes of vegetable life. In minerals it has diamonds, goid, silver, copper. No land on earth has so much gold. Lord Randolph Churchill says of the diamond mines that the scale is stupendous. Interest on invest- ments In this field rises to 25 per cent, in- cluding dividends. Driving in Paved Alleys. In January last the Commissioners adopted @ police regulation requiring drivers of ve- hicles drawing loads weighing more than 1,600 pounds to obtain from the Engineer Commissioner a permit to drive over paved alleys. An arrest has been made and the ease heard before Judge Kimball. John Logan was defendant in the case, and he was charged with driving over the pave- ment in Desmond's alley without a permit. The alley in question is paved with Belgian blocks, and Logan was arrested for driving — the alley a horse drawing a ton of coal. He plead guilty to the charge. ‘The validity of the regulation was sug- gested, and, while Judge Kimball said he would not pass upon that question, as the defendant had plead guilty, the court ac cepted the man’s personal bonds, Under this regulation every coal dealer who sends out a ton of coal to be delivered in a paved alley will have to get a permit beiers the coal can be delivered. FEDERAL CITY LODGE. Visitation by the Grand Officers and Enjoyable Ev: The officers of the Grand Lodge, I.0.0.F., accompanied Grand Master John H. Wood on an official visit to Federal City Lodge, No. 20, last evening, and they were royally entertained. At an early hour numbers of the order began to assemble, and notwith- standing the storm without a large attend- ance was present when the grand officers entered the room. After the exchange of fraternal greetings the grand officers were seated, and visiting delegations from other lodges then entered and were welcomed by Noble Grand Yeat- man. Degree Director George H. Baxter then took charge of the floor, and, assisted by Past Grand R. H. Wood and Brothers H. W. Webber, W. H. Baker, J. C. Wilson and W. T. Southard and a strong caste, ex- emplified the degree of friendship. The work was rendered as a suggestion to the revision of the ritualistic work. ‘The team entered the room in step to a splendid march, with Mr. Southard as or- | ganist, and soon stopped directly before the grand master, when Director Baxter, on ‘behalf of the lodge members, presented that officer with a handsome gold watch and chain, richly engraved, as a token of es- teem from the individual members of the lodge in which he holds a membership.. All |were taken by surprise, and before the | grand master had recovered his speech the lentire team had disappeared. The degree | was then excellently rendered, the follow- |ing members taking part: W. H. Baker, Webber, Baxter, Hales, O'Donnell, Schnei- \der, Bruce, Tedrow, Stout, Uline, W. H. Wilson, Emmons, Mussey, Goodrich, Eakles, Felter, Owen, Boynton, Owens, | Roberts, Connor, R. H. Wood, Stansbury, |Coe, Yeatman, Pruitt, Nevins, McLaughlin, | Robt. Babbitt, Dement, Sullivan, J. C. Wil- |son and.W. T. Southard. After the degree |a collation was served, and happy speeches |were made by Past Grand Masters C. H. | Mansur and James B. Law, Grand Repre- |sentative Allan, Grand Secretary Hunt, Grand Marshal Jones, Brother C. R. Faulk- er of Indiana, Grand Master Wood, Dep- |uty Grand Master Mead and others. Among the others present were Grand Representatives Burroughs and Steir, Past Grand Masters Gawler and College, Past |Grands Leannarda, Betts, Ringwalt, Moth- |ershead, Trotter, Ellis and Noble Grand | Terrett of Metropolitan Lodge, Past Grands Jonn I. Brown, Whitney, James Wood, J. B. Ward, Donavin, Fleming, Frank I. Wood, George Bennett, Keck, Reisner and Feiter and about 150 other brothers. This visitation is the last that the present grand master will make during his term of office, and it has been generally observed that | there is great regret that such is the case. The grand master will now busy himself upon his annual report. —__»>—__— LIKE THE COFFEYVILLE FIGHT, Bank Robbers Driven From view, Texa: A fight took place between bank robbers and citizens at Longview, Tex., yesterday afternoon, which was similar to the famous fight at Coffeyville, Kan., in which the Dalton gang took part. Yesterday after- noon two rough-looking men walked into the First National Bank, one clad in a | “slicker,” with a Winchester concealed in its folds. He handed the following note to President Joe Clemmons: “HOME, May 23.—First National Bank, Longview: This will introduce to you Charles Speckelmeyer, who wants some money and is going to have it. B. & F.” It was written in pencil in a fairly good hand on the back of a printed poster. The bank cashier thought it was an importunate subscription to some charity, and started to donate, when the robber pointed his Winchester at him and told him to hold up. The other robber rushed into the side wire door and grabbed the cash. mn Clemmons and the other bank officials were ordered to hold up their hands. The rob- bers hurriedly emptied the vaults, securing $2,000 and a quantity of unsigned Longview | bank notes, which may lead to their detec- ticn, While this was going on two of the rebbers were in the rear alley of the bank shouting at every one who appeared, and were being fired on by City Marshal Muck- ley and Deputy Will Stevens. The firing made the robbers in the bank very nervous, and they hurried the bank officials out and told them to run to the horses and mount. This was done in order to keep bullets flew thick and fast, the bank men tere loose and ran around the corner, with several shots after them. George Buckingham, who was shooting at the robbers, was shot and killed. While he was down the robbers shot at him sev- eral times. City Marshal Muckley, who Was shooting at another robber, received a Winchester ball in the bowels. The ball gianced from silver Collars he had in his pocket, which may save his life. The ball passed through the cavity. J. W. McQueen, a saloonkeeper, was shot in the body, and it is thought mortally wounded. Charles S, Leonard vas walking through the court house yard and was shot in tne leg, necessitating amputation. Theodore Sims was shot in the left hand. Deputy Will Stevens was not hurt, though he stood in short range and killed one of the robbers. The bankers all escaped unhurt, except Tom Clemmons, who, in the scurfle with the rebbers, got his hand in the hammer of the robber’s pistol, which came down and cut a hole in his hand. The robbers who stood guard in the alley would yell at every one who came in sight and shoot at him in- stantly. When the robbers rode away and saw one of their comrades dead, they re- marked: “Poor Bennett is dead.” The body of the dead robber was soon icentified as George Bennett, a reckless fellow, who had been at Longview some months ago and married a daughter of a respectable farmer living near that place, but left her and went to the Indian terri- tory. The dead robber was dressed like a cowboy, with high-heeled boots and spurs, and had on a belt full of cartridges and two double-action revplvers. His horse, which was captured, had 300 rounds of ammunition strapped to the saddle. Another of the robbers, the man who gave President Clemmons the note, was identified by several. He married a re- spectable young lady in Panola county last fall, but later went to Mexico, and has not been heard of since until yesterday. He was well known. It is thought Bennett has a relative in the gang. If so only one man remains to be identified. The robbers rode rapidly out of town, displaying their firearms and the money they had secured. An armed posse was scon in pursuit, and when last heard of was fifteen minutes behind them. Deputy John Howard was shot at fifteen times, but was not hurt. He emptied his pistol several times, and wounded one of the robbers in the face. No less than 200 shots were fired. The robbers started out of town, going by the heme of George Bennett. They met a farmer four miles north, and took his hat and gave him the old one, and told him to tell the posse to come on, that they were going to keep on the big road. —— DEMOCRATS, The Alabama Convention at Logger- heads Over Senator Morgan. The Alabama demorratic convention nearly split yesterday on the issue raised of the indorsement of President Cleveland and the administration. The committee on plat- form and resolutions suggested a platform substantially identical with that on which Cleveland was elected. This platform in- dorsed the acts of the administration and the democracy and fealty to the President. It was unanimously adopted. Among other resolutions the committee presented one indorsing the ability of Senator Mor- gan and his fealty to Alabama, and recom- mending his re-election by the legislatut John B. Knox of Anniston offered a substitute a similar resolution and a spe- cific indorsement of a Morgan democracy. At this the administration men went wild, and the Morgan men rose and yelled. Dis- order and excitement took possession of the meeting. Several inflammatory speeches on each side only added to the furore. A mo- tion was made to table the substitute. A vote by counties was called for. The sec- retary, an administration man, announced the vote as in favor of tabling the substi- tute. Some Morgan men, who had kept tally, sprang to the floor and demanded a Verification of the count. At this juncture Col. H. Clay Tompkins of Montgomery demanded the attention of the convention. After prolonged disorder, the house being filled with exclamations of rage and vituperation, Col. Tompkins was al- lowed to talk. He offered a substitute for both resolutions. His substitute read iden- tically like that first introduced, except that it went further, and stated that while some of the democrats of Alabama differed with Senator Morgan on matters of policy, they indorsed his fealty to the democratic party. ‘This was accepted by both sides, and was passed unanimously. Thoughtful democrats fear lest the wounds inflicted in this scuffle will not soon be healed. Capt. Kolb’s friends are de- lighted. They believe that the discord in the democ-atic ranks only adds to their chances of the party success in the August elections. The convention adjourned after the nomination of candidates for minor State offices. Long- ANGRY the posse from shooting, but as | ! LATE SPORTING NEW S —_— BEATEN BY THE RAIN. Senators Played Ball in Winning Form Yesterday. Washington started off in winning form yesterday at Philadeiphia, scoring five runs in the first inning, but rain prevented a victory, as Umpire O'Rourke called the game in the second. The runs were made on singles by Joyce, McGuire, Cartwright and Radford and a fumble by Cross. Maul was in the box for Washington and dis- posed of the Phillies, during the short period they faced him, without difficulty. The team left last night for Boston, where they meet the champions this afternoon. The other games scheduled for today are: Baltimore at Philadelphia. Brooklyn at New York. Pittsburg at Cleveland. Cincinnati at Louisville. St. Louis at Chicago. Twenty bases on balls were given by six pitchers who attempted twirling in the Chicago-Pittsburg game, ten on each side. Umpire Emslie called the game at the end of the sixth inning to allow the smoky city lads to catch a train. Of course this action riled the Colts, and President Hart stated that he will protest the game. teries were Hutchinson, Donnelly, and Scriver for Chicago and Nicol, Col- claugh, Gumbert, Sugden and Mack tor Pittsburg.

Clements of Petersburg, Va., is to bring suit for damages ugainst the Sporting Life, a weekly newspaper pub- Ushed in Philadelphia. Some days ago there appeared in this paper an article giv- ing an account of a game of base ball played in Petersburg between the Peters- burg and Norfolk clubs, which was um- pired by Mr. Clements. The article was sent from Norfolk. The writer was very severe on Mr. Clements, and that gentle- man, believing that the article was libel- ous, wrote to a lawyer of Philadelphia in regard to the matter, sending him a copy of the paper containing the article. Yester- day Mr. Clements received a letter from his counsel, who stated that the article was clearly libelous. The case will come up be- fore the United States court in Philadel- phia next October, and it is understood that the damages will be placed at $10,000. Mr. Clements is one of the best-known ase ball umpires in the state. Jobns Hopkins Defeated by the Ken- dalis. A team representing Johns Hopkins Uni- versity played the Kendall College at Ken- dall Green yesterday. When the game was | called on account of rain at the close of the | fifth inning the score stood 6 to 2 in favor | of Kendall. The game was loosely played throughout, and the Kendall boys found. no difficulty in stealing second base. As the | appointed umpire was absent, a Kendall | mute acted, indicating balis with one hand The score: and strikes with the other, Johns Hopkins. Kendall ...... 11038 1-66 Pennsylvania Intense interest centers in today’s Prince- ton-Pennsylvania game at Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Press says: Princeton is more particularly Pennsylvania's rival than is Yale, and the crowd today should exceed that at the Yale game. The cheer- ing will not all be for the Quakers, either, as the Princeton siudents are coming down in a mass to cheer their favorites ‘on. It is next to impossible to pick the winner, al- trough some enthusiastic Quakers have given odds on their team. Pennsylvania has a better batting team, but Altman is prob- ably a trifle more effective than Schoenhut. Hence the batting should be but slighty in favor of Pennsylvania. Princeton, on the other hand, js slightly superior in the field. Cornell's Rally in the Ninth. The game between the Corhell and Uni- versity of Virginia teams, played on the athletic grounds at Charlottsville yesterday afternoon, was beautifully played up to the last half of the ninth inning, when the score stcod 3 to 1 in favor of the University of Virginia. In this inning the ‘Varsities went to pieces and allowed Cornell to make three runs. The final score was 4 to 3 in favor of Corneil. AGAINST ROWDY COACHING. 2 The Philadelphia Club Makes a Pro- test to President Young. In deference to the wishes of their patrons the Philadelphia club officials have forward- ed a letter to President Young, of which the following is a copy: N. E.Young, Esq., President of the National League and American Association of Professional Base Ball Clubs. Dear Sir: We are still receiving protests against the rowdy and ungentlemanly tac- tics of certain players of the Boston club at the game of the 18th instant. These pro- tests are from some of our most prominent citizens, who are fairly representative of the personal sentiments of a large body of our patrons, and they threaten a withdraw- al ef patronage upon a recurrence of such howling and disorder. The generous base ball public are entitled to the protection guaranteed them by the league rules. These rules are ample and plenty for the purpose, but they are not en- forced. The fault is primarily with the um- pire. He is “master of the field” and “sole and absolute judge of the pla; unless an usurpation of his prerogative is invited by his own imbecility and timidity. In order to strengthen and encourage him to a faithful discharge of official duty un- der peril of his place, we respectfully sub- mit the following suggestions (among the mary doubtless occurring to you) for the enforcement of the rules most frequently ignored or forgotten: Give peremptory instructions to each umpire: 1. To fine, and—aftes warning—remove from the game, any player, excepting the captain, who questions, criticises or appeals from his decision. 2. To ordee the captain to his place and the game to proceed immediately after Ustening to and promptly ruling on his ap- peal. 3. To not allow any coaching whatever until @ batsman becomes a base runner. 4.To remove a coacher, who addresses or refers to a batsman, player, Spectator or any other person, except a base runner. 5. To remove a coacher who addresses a base runner except “in words of necessary direction” or who yells or uses other loud tones, evidently intended to disconcert a Pitcher or fielder. 6. To prevent by prompt or severe penal- ties all other unfair, unsportsmanlike or ungentlemanly conduct on the ball field.

Three matches in the singles for the championship of the south were played on the courts of the Bachelors’ Lawn Ten- nis Club yesterday afternoon, although the courts were very slippery and rain inter- rupted the playing altogether before more than three matches could be played off. In the singles there was but one match to be played yesterday, between W. G. Par- ker of New York and C. C. Clark of this city, to determine which of them should enter the final match for the championship of the south with Fischer, also of New York. The first set of the Parker-Clark match was won easily by Parker, 6 to 1. The second set, however, was a close and exciting one, abounding in good plays and fine work by both men, but was finally won by Parker, 7 to 5. This takes the championship out of reach of Washington, and it will be battled for today between Fischer and Parker, the two New York cracks. The handsome silver bowl put up by the Bachelors will, accordingly, go to New York for a year at least, but must be won three times to become the abso- lute property of the owner. Only one match was played in the con- olation rounds, in which Bethel beat H. B. Needham, 6-2, 53-6, 2. In _ the doubles one match was played off, Davidson and Shields defeating McCammon and Clay, 6-1, 6-3. ° The entries in the doubles yet to be play- ed are E. M. Biddle and W. L. McPherson, y. A, Lieber and C. P. Mitchell, E. P. scher and W. Gordon Parker, M. Thomp- son and W. Bethel. Today at 8 o'clock Parker and Fischer will meet in a contest of five sets to d termine the championship. Some of the doubles will have to go oevr until tomorrow, as Parker and Fischer are to play together in them. Davidson and Shields will also finish their match today with Thompson and Bethel, which was begun yesterday, but broken in upon by the rain. Bad Starting at Gravesend, Rowe was in one of his worst moods at Gravesend yesterday, and the starting was worse than on any previous day. The poor- est piece of work was in the third race, and Rowe probably never got such a hooting and hissing before in his life. When he started them he did not see the favorite (Prig) standing still, and dropped his flag. to the good feeling of everybody by throw- ing his flag down in disgust. Sullross took the lead in the stretch after indulging T..W. Doswell sprang a surprise on the talent in the fifth race with the two-year- old fly Melinda, and she simply played with the others. Nenevah was second and the favorite (Mosquito) was never in the contest when the stretch was reached. The other winners were Ella Reed, Ed Kearney, Mr. Jingle and St. Julien, The Latonia Derby. The great race at Cincinnati today, the most valuable of the meeting and the larg- est purse ever offered by the Latonia Club, is the Derby, worth $8,000. The betting at the pool rooms last night was not very lively. Lazzarone opened favorite in the poolings on the Derby at even money against the field, and his strength increased until at the ‘The field entered for the race very small, only six horses offering to make the race. It is feared that Derby day will be somewnat of a disappointment in more ways than one. Results at Louisville.

The tal- ent had decidedly the best of it, four favor- ites winnin: ‘The winners in order were: | La Grace, to 1; Simrock, 7 to 10; Lau- reate, 1 to 2; Valerie, 4 to 1; Shuttle, 4 to 5.

The races at Pimlico were declared off yesterday afternoon on account of rain and heavy track. THE EIGHTEENTH GAME A DRAW. Steinitz and Lasker Still Fighting for the € Champio' P. Play in the eighteerth game of the cham- pionship chess match between Steinitz and Lasker was resumed at Montreal yesterday afternoon, when the latter's sealed move proved to be 53..Kt—Kt 3. The champion replied with pushing his king's rook’s pawn, and two moves later Steinitz exchanged a bishop for knight. The position was not of a very drawish-looking appearance, but five moves later on the players agreed to register the game as a draw. The score now reads: Lasker, 9; Steinitz, 5; drawn, 4.

The Breckinridge Case Comes Up in a New Form. Political, confederate and social circles at Lexington, Ky., are more excited than ever. The Young Women’s Auxiliary of the Con- federate Association had a stormy meeting and refused to decorate confederate graves because Col. Breckinridge is a member of the Veterans’ Association. The president of the auxiliary says it will take no part in the Breckinridge case as a body, and that there will be no refusal to decorate graves. Mrs. A. M. Harrison, secretary, and her sister-in-law, Miss Mary Harrison,vice pres- ident of the auxiliary, have resigned their offices. They are severe in condemnation of Col. Breckinridge, and while they give no cpen reason for resigning they say plainiy that it ought not be difficuit to infer why they quit the organization. Mrs. Harrison is a daughter of the late confederate Gen. Withers, and Miss Harri- son is a daughter of the late James O. Har- rison, kinsman, historian and administrator of Henry Clay.

The strike was occasioned by the failure of the laborers to receive their monthly pay, which was due and payable on the 15th instant. Several causes are assigned for the non- payment of wages. The principal ones are that the contractor is sick and unable to eo to the beach, and another is that the pay of the workmen is withheld for fear they would all leave were they settled with promptly, on account of the smallpox scare at Chesapeake Beach, where several hun- dred workmen are camped. The work of building the iron drawbridge for the Washington and Chesapeake Beach railroad across the Patuxent river was commenced last week, but had to be Buse pended from the fact that piles could not be furnished in the vicinity of sufficient leneth to form a base for the structure A supply of the necessary length has been ordered from Virginia. see Completing © Harrisburg Ticket, After the nomination for governor of Gen, Hastings by the republican convention at Harrisburg, Pa., yesterday, the ticket was completed as follows: Li nant governor—Walter Lyon of Al- leghany county, Auditor general—Amos Mylin of Lan- caster.
