Special Meeting of the Board of Trade Committee. A meeting of the special committee of the board of trade, to whose consideration was Intrusted the highway extension act and the sewer bond Dill, was held last night in the rooms of the board, presided over by Chairman R. Ross Perry. There was a full attendance of the committee, which was ‘embled to give an opportunity to any members of the board of trade who de- sired to express thelr views on the sub- dect before the committee. Dr. A. P. Far- fon, A. M. Read and James W. Somer- ville made brief remarks, in which they brought forward several suggestions, after which the committee went into executive session. —_— Pierre Gustave Brunet, a distinguished French litterateur, has died at Bordeaux, nee, He was horn in Bordeaux in 1307. CLOSING APPEALS Meetings Held Last ‘Night in Be- half of the Candidates. HOLLAND HAD THE MOST ea, Mr. Key Pledges Himself to Work for Suffrage. NO TORCHLIGHT PARADE ‘There were many meetings last night, but the much-heralded torchlight procession, which was to have culminated in a big gath- ering at Center Market Hall, evaporated into a thin atmosphere, save for two or three amateur drum corps that wandered aimlessly about for a short while early in the evening looking for somebody to lead in the expected march. Mr. Oscar Nauck made his first and only speech of the campaign at a meeting, which was held at the corner of 10th and R streets north- west. He declared that the local republi- cans were tired of being represented in the national convention by the very lowest element, and epressed confidence that Rey. Walter H. Brooks.and himself would be elected by a good majority. Mr. Key’s Pledges. Robert H. Key addressed two meetings held In his favor last night, pledging him- self to work for suffrage in the District if sent to St. Louis, and describing his past record as a business man and a cit!- zen here. One of these meetings was held at Lincoln Hall, at 14th and B streets northeast, and the other was held under the auspices of the Key Workingmen’s Club, at 441 Delaware avenue southwest. A Political Discussion. At the latter meeting a number of other speeches were made, all breathing loyalty to Key and Aaron Bradshaw. The Sulli- van and Hanlon Republican Club of South Washington, which has hitherto pinned its faith on Col. Perry Carson, resolved at a meeting last night to cast its combined voting strength today in favor of Robert H. Key. In Holland's Interest. The supporters of M. M. Holland held a meeting last night in the church on N street between Ist and North Capitol streets northwest. Mr. Joseph Sims presided, with James Lewis. secretary. The meeting was opened with prayer by Mr. Curtis, after which Mr. Sims made a few preliminary remarks. He said the negro’s only weapon, the ballot, had been taken from him, and efforts were now being made to get it again. He said Messrs. Holland and Saun- ders had pledged themselves to do all in their power toward achieving this end, by securing the adoption of a plank in the republican platform indorsing suffrage. Mr. J. C. Wright, a fluent young colored man, spoke in behalf of Saunders and W. F. Thomas. He expressed his gratification at being permitted to address his audience. He likened Mr. Saunders to Charles Sumner, leading the colored man to ig ter planes. There are other candidat he said, who, before this time, did not know the masses of the colored people, but. now that votes are to be obtained are mighty friendly. Mr. Wright's tribute to Mr. Thomas was very eloquent, and abounded with forensic ef- fort. He prophesied victory for his. candi- dates, according to the signs of the times. Mr. S. G. Thompson’s Address. Mr. Samuel G. Thompson spoke for M. M. Holland. He is one of the eloquent young orators of his race who has come to the front in the recent discussions, and aroused the greatest enthusiasm. He advocated electing candidates upon common-sense principles, and with a view to bettering the condition of the race. He scored Candidate Bailey with rasping tongue, reciting a num- ber of instances in which he claimed Bailey deserted his race. He touched upon the life of Andrew Gleeson in a manner which that gentleman’s biographers will not emulate. He referred to Perry Carson as lacking in the ability required of a delegate to the na- tional convention. Mr. Thompson spoke in the most compli- mentary, terms of M. M. Holland, and said he is worthy to fill high offices. He said Holland is a benefactor to the race. Mr. Thomas Blanford spoke for the up- building of the race, and exhorted his hear- ers to improve their condition. To do this they should select men of ability to repre- sent them. He said Perry Carson repre- sented the past. He has never improved himself. He said if Bailey engages in a business where he must proscribe his col- ored brothers, he should stick to business, and not come after the votes of the colored men. Resolutions were adopted indorsing Mr. Holland. At Mt. "Zion Church. A mecting in the interest of Milton M. Holland was held last evening at Mount Zion Church, 12th and E streets northeast. It was presided over by Mr. Isaiah Lewis, who explained, in opening the meeting, that it would be a Holland affair and noth- ing else. And so it proved to be, for, while now and then some one shook his head de- precatingly at the eloquence which accom- panied the name of Holland, yet the oppo- sition was not voiced, and the meeting ad- journed at a late hour with cheers for the candidate and confidence in his success to- day. A Mr. Simms opened the meeting with a prayer, which pictured Holland as a great good man, and asked the Lord to grant him Only a Little Band. snecess, and then the chairman declared the meeting open for five-minute addresses. That announcement served to disperse for a moment the crowds about the two stoves in the church, but although the speakers were more or less eloquent, the fire.in them was far less attractive than that in the stoves, and for the rest of the evening the stoves ran lengths ahead. One of the speakers was a Mr. Scott. He was full of something more than Relies jasm, but had just explained: w'lle I isn’t of dis deestric’, I has a candi- date, an’ "—but just then a gentleman arose Rise il AR ih ‘ha K a ce EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at $ a.m., 75th meridian time. tars or lines of equal air pressure, drawn for each tenth cf ar inch.

For some reason or other, Mr. Scott Imag- ined the remark to be cast at him, and he indignantly left the church, exclaiming: “Dat's all I has to say, gemmen. I isn’t of dis deestric’, an’ arter de remark of de gemmea, I thanks Gawd dat I isn’t.” The period of mourning over Mr. Scott's departure was a rather brief one, and a Mr. Harrison was recognized. “What we wants, Mistah Cha’rman, is a man of ‘telli- gence to represunt us, sah. Fur instance, ef you is in de grammer, an’ I isn't, how Waiting for the Meeting. in de name of Gawd is I goin’ to keep up wid yo'?” Mr. Harrison eloquently paused for a reply, but triumphantly so, and then he clinched matters by remarking: ‘Dat’s de way we wants to be guided in de mat- tah, an’ derefo’ I says we "poses to sen’ Kunnel Holland, sah, an’ not Kunnel Cyar- son. Mr. Harrison's sentiments were those of the meeting, and they were more or less expressed by the speakers who followed him. Among them were R. D. Ruffin, Mr. Foster, Mr. Simms, Rev. W. H. Brooks, Mr. Garden, S. H. Brooks, L. V. Fletcher, senior and junior; W. H. West and others. Before the meeting adjourned, Ms. Scott returned and attempted another speech, but his emotions were too much for him, and he eloquently subsided, one of the stoves holding him in a close embrace the rest of the evening. Failed to Materialize. There was to have been a Carson-Saunders grand torchlight parade on Pennsylvania avenue, followed by a rally at the Center Market Hall, last evening, but the parade and meeting failed to materialize. A col- ored drum corps made its appearance in the vicinity of 9th and N streets about 7 o'clock, ready to lead the hosts through the city, and there was a small band of the faithful, but the men melted away somehow and the band for once failed to rally a crowd. At the Center Market a score of colored men stood on the bridge leading to the hall, which was dark, with the gates opening to it locked and chained. Evidently some one had blundered, and the Carson forces failed, in their effort for a last grand rally for Col.” Carson. In Favor of Gleeson. A political’ meeting was held last night at the headquarters of the Shamrock Athletic Club, 57 G street northwest, when speeches in favor of Mr. Andrew Gleeson were made by L. F. Litz, E. Powell, G. D. Wheeler, F. H. Norcom, E. P. Baker, T. Quill, W. I. Collins and T. A. Harlow. Mr. Gleeson was vnanimously indorsed for delegate to the St. Louis convention. Another Holland Meeting. There were about fifty citizens of color in the Galileean Fishermen's Hall last night when, at 8 o‘clock, whip in hand and blanket on his arm, M. M. Holland, tying his horse at the door, strode in to address the meeting. Mr. Holland had already spoken at three other meetings and had two more to attend during the evening. He arrived in time tO Lear Sam Jones, a po- litical leader of the southwest part of the Ged and formerly e. most cnthusiastic Car- m man, 6 an earnest speech explain- ing. why he had changed his mind and decided to support Holland, whom he per- sistently called Har! throughout his speech. Tho meeting was as quiet, or even more quiet, than @ prayer meeting, until a few boys in the rear of the room, bent upon mischief, began to make’ a’ disturbance. One, a young imp in a pair'of sawed-off trousers four sizes too large and wearing a white plug hat, was especiaNy unruly and had to be threatened with ,expulsion by the sergeant-at-arms before he subsided. Carson Examipeg. Mr. Holland's speech was, the, main fea- ture of the evening, and;{t wag ari excellent specimen of the ad .captandum stump speech. Taking up Col. Carson's career he insisted that in ell his leadership in the District of Columbia he had never done a single thing to be named by his followers as a distinct adventage to the negro race. During Carson’s ascendancy the coiored race fad lost the right of suffrage and all the various municipal offices and legislative positions which it once had. Going into details the specker showed that whenever Mr. Carscn had undertaken by indignation meetings to arouse sentiment in favor of the colored people he had signally failed, and cited -the Lomax and Green cases where colored men had been murdered by Policemen and there was a disposition to prosecute until the Carson meetings caused @ reaction of rublic sentiment because of the incendiary utterznces made by Carson and his jrienés. He also alluded to the Flagler case and ie the point that Car- son having been prevented by Mr. Green, the father of the boy killed, from holding an indignation meeting, the grand jury had indicted Miss Flagler anil would be tried for the shcoting. Referring to Car- son's claims that he fought, bled and died for tie ccuntry and the emancipation of the race, Mr. Holland said that Carson en- Usted in February, 1865, less than a month before tho surrender, and that he not only “never fired a gun in the war, but never heard one fired.” Bailey Criticised. Heving finished his consideration of the Carson case, the*speaker took up Candi- date Bailey. who, he said, was born and brought up in the District of Columbia and had done nothing here except to accumu- late property. The dirticst kind of a white man could go into ahy one of Bailey’s five barber shops and be shaved, while a decent, geutlemanly colored man like him- seif or Mr. Bailey himself could not go into any of them and be shaved. Mr. Bailey, he said, owned twenty-five houses in Washington, and while he had five or six real estate men paying him for effice room in his bank building, he placed the charge of these twenty-five houses not with these colored real estate men, but with white agents. Furthermore, with the excep- tion cf a few houses in an alley in the west- ern part of town, not one of these houses could be rented by a colored man. Bailey, he said, was fifty-six years old, but he kept cut of the war. If the race had depended onemen like Bailey they would all be slaves st Mentioning two or three other candidates, the speaker threw them contemptuously out of consideration with the remark that they were “not in it.” Mr. Holland's Service. Speaking of himself and his own services for the race, Mr. Holland said that he began when fourteen years old -piloting colored men on the underground,’railway toward Canada and freedom. In/April, 1861, when sixteen years old, he enlisted and served through the war—not in the‘commissary or the hospital service, but Gr tdeed agun. As to what he did he would o1 ay, asa brave man should, he tried to d is duty to the best of his ability. “Letting other people speak for me,” said Mr, Hojiand, as he lifted the two medals that were Pinned on his treast, “these medals were’ &iven to me for Castoria Infants ee CASTORIA DESTROYS WORMS.

This one Benjam! Alluding to his efforts for the race since the close of the war, Mr, Holland said that on his return to Ohio, notwithstanding the results of the war and the amendments to ‘the Constitution, he found that in the public | S04RDING schocls of Columbus, Ohio, his home, a dis- crimination was made against colored pu- Pils, and he set to work to secure from the legislature a law that would set matters right, and this he did successfully. Coming to Washington in 1869, he had engaged im various business enterprises which had re- sulted in great advantage to the race. He alluded to the Alpha Bank, the Industrial Building Association and numerous other ergan'zations which he had been instru- mental in founding, and which had been the means of teaching colored men how to save their earnings and invest them safely, and through which thousands of colored fam- ilies now had pleasant and happy homes in all parts of the District, which they had either paid for through the building associa- tion or were paying for comfortably and safely. A Colored Commissioner. In closing his speech, Mr. Holland al- luded to the intention of President Garfield of appointing him as one of the District Commissioners in 1881, when he was in- dcrsed by Gen. Sherman, Governor Mc- Kinley, and others of the Ohio delegation. He said that if by any means this honor of getting to the rational convention should lead to his appointment as District Cem- missioner, it would mean that, while col- ored men might not have 9dne- -third of all the municipal offices in the District, they would have representation in the city gov- ernment, and might expect a fair show in the division of things. “If elected to go to the national conven- said tion—and,” Mr. Hoiland, “I shall be Why Don’t They Cone? elected just as surc as there is a God in heaven—I shall use my best efforis in that convention to secure the restoration of suf- frage in the District of Columbia, Who do you think is most likely to stand up and face the powers that be in that convention with better chances of success, myself, or | such a nian as Carson? Carson’s Application. “Why, when Blaine was disp Carson’s fidelity to him and give him an of- fice, and Carson wanted to be resord>r of deeds, Blaine said, ‘You will have to write out an application, colonel,’ id the old man sat down to write it, and had to rive it up in despair, and Blaine told him that it would not do to appoint him to an cflice for which he had no educational fitness, and thereupon he was made assistant in- spector of streets or alleys, or something of that gort.” As he was about to leave the stage, Mr. Holland rapidly reviewed the situation in each of the districts, and named one after another which he was sure to carry. Al- though there was a large proportion of Car- son men in the room, the apeaker was in- terrupted with hearty applause fre and when he closed, received a prolor cheer. He was followed by severil local speak- ers, among them a Mr. Smith of Souzh Car- olina, who related some of the experiences of his race in the politics of that state. Garey’s Hall. A meeting of republican voters was held last evening at Garey’s Hall, corner of New Jersey avenue and I street southeast. William Goldman presided and William Carter was secretary. The principal speak- er was Fendall Jackson. Announcement was made that several eminent speakers had promised to attend, Lut they failed to show up. Mt. Pleasant. A meeting of republican voters of Mt. Pleasant was held last evening in Abrahain Hall, Meridign Hill. George W. Robinson presided and W. G. Howard was secretary. Speeches were delivered by the chairman, C. A. Birkley, Secretary Howard, J. 2. Querder, P. F. Carter, L. M. Ingram, A. C. Shumate and others. Lively Meeting in Georgetown. The Young Men's Independent Pepublican Club held a meeting last evening at odd Fellows’ Hall, on 28th street, which proved to be a very lively affair. Though not gen- erally mentioned, it was to have been a Carson meeting, but before the adjourn- ment of the meeting honors were about evenly divided between Bailey and Holland, in spite of the vigorous and emphatic op- position on behalf of the leaders of the Carson element, When the meeting was called to order there were about twenty-five colored republicans in the place, but as it progressed and the sentiment became warmed up squads of three and four drcp- ped in at intervals until the room became packed, between 150 and 200 politicians and embryo politicians being jammed in the Place. Lorenzo Chase, the vice president, who carried a good-sized walking stick, called the meeting to order in the absence of the president, George Gleason, in whose family a death had occurred. Mr. Chase informed the assemblage that it was the first time he had ever presided at a political meetin: and he hoped the gentlemen would keep quiet and have no disorder. Every man had a right to applaud and any man who wanted to speak would be heard. The First Speaker. Gen. Logan Williams, an aged man, who said he had passed his eighty-sixth birth- day, was the first speaker. He said he did not wish to “personate” any of the gentle- men candidates. He trusted that the au- dience wouli overlook his ignorance the way he presented it, as it was his knowl- edge of the republican party. He urged the election of Lawyer Holland, who ‘S the only one of the candidates present. He was the only man capable of repre- senting the metropolis city of the county of Washington. “Milton, Milton, I loves yer,” gurgled an intoxicated man, who sat on a front bench, after the speaker had finished. “Smackum, you keep quiet,” shouted the presiding officer, menacingly pointing his cane at the object of his remark. Mr. Edmonston of the nineteenth dis- trict was the next speaker, and he said the colored people constituted an intelli gent part of the population of the city. Speaking of Rev. Walter Brooks’ candi- dacy, he characterized the presence of the divine at the convention as a “tinkling cymbal in a sound of brass.’ He was all right to lead in prayer and a good mau to send to the convention for such; other- wise he was not worth a picayune. Mr. Key was all right to send for furnishing wine and liquor to the convention, while Mr. Bailey had made himself obnoxious to the nostrils of the colored people. If a negro be a Senator or a sewer digger he could not get shoved in one of his shops. “Dat's right; kerrect,” murmured the irrepressible inebriated ‘individual on the front bench, tossing his battered hat in the air to emphasize his remarks. He was called down. ‘The speaker continued in the same strain. Carson was a good man once, but not so now. Mr. Holland Pleads His Case. Mr. Holland was the next speaker, and in the course of his remarks he said that Car- son was never in a battle in the late war. “Betcher quartah he wuz,” interrupted a sonorous voice in the rear, at which there was a general laugh. Continuing, Mr. Holland spoke against Carson and Bailey. He refuted campaign slanders against himself and gave his rec- ord. His election was assured, and he said he would carry ten of the twenty-one pre- cincts. “Three cheers for the old war horse, ed to honor | |; WANTED fat INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

Mr. Holland did not mind the interrup- tion, but the noise and confusion was so great that the chair used the cane vigor- ously. Cept. Hawkins made the next address. “De eyes of de people of dese United States will be on yer tomorrer when yer votes,” ejaculated he, and by way of emphasis, he held his head sideways and blinked his eyes knowingly. He refuted all the charges against the candidates, and believed in a showing. Mr. Bailey opened a shop tor te men and got his living from their de, but he employed colored barbe! “Dash ish right,” gurgled the man in “the front rew, upon whom the heat and the excitement was having a somnolent effect. “Mistah Keys he sells liker,"’ continued Capt. Hawkins, encouraged by the ap- plause. “A black man kin sell gin jist as well as er white man, an’ if Mistah Keys didn’t keep dere some Biddy would open up in de same place.” “Yoh time’s up,” man. “Dat's mity funny, Mistah Chairman, de oddcr speakers had de abundance ob tim but, turning to the audience, pt.

Some Confusion. interrupted the chair- Mr. Payne run down Perry Carson in a polite sort of way. “Dat’s a lie and yer knows it,” a voice in the rear. “Put him out,” shouted another. The chairman was on his feet in an in- stant and threatened to have the sergeant arms eject the two disturbers. colored people pay taxes on $10,000,- 60 of property,” shouted Mr. Payne. “Only $1,000,000,” said a voice nearby. “Lil leave it to the "portah,” replied Mr. Payne, excitedly, pointing at The Star man. “Yoh time's up,” said the chairman as Mr. Payne started to speak. “I haven't named my candidate yet,” ex: postulated Mr. Pay: “Can't help dat,” was the reply, but a motion was passed and a minute more granted. The noise was so great that the speaker could not be heard. The chair had vainly endeavored to restore quiet by calling them gentlemen and appealing to their intelli- gence. “I done called you all gentlemen and "pealed to ,your manner, but you in the back haven't got any. You men keep quiet now, or else go out.” shouted A Policeman's Eloquence. Mr. Brown, who was eppointed to the police force about a year ago, was called upon. He started out in a soaring style: “The subterranean chambers are rumbling like Vesuvius as she belches forth fire and lava.” “Talk so we kin understand, will yer?” shouted some in the audience. The speaker contirued, and said that when Carson Was made a leader a man was wanted more for physical reasons thi intellectual force, but now he was not wanted for that purpose any longer. lave an cxponent of our race for p) foree, and that is Peter Jackson.” The speaker maintained the attention of the ee the whole time, and favored Hol- jand. Mr. James H.

The meeting forthwith adjourned. eee The High Hat Nuisance. To the Editor of The Evening St It seems incredible that after all that has been said, and all that has been printed in The Star anent the subject of ladies wear- ing high hats at the theater, some women still persist in the total disregard of the comfort and rights of others. I wish to enter one more protest on the subject. At the concert of the Choral Society last even- ing one of these obnoxious hats was so ent, that I think it must have ob- scured the entire stage, not only for the person sitting directly behind it, but for Several rows back. A young lady in pale blue, and sitting next the center aisle a would mention her name if I only knew it), serenely wore during the entire perform- ance, the most objectionable hat I have ever seen in such a place—a large black hat, turned up on one side of the front, supported what looked like a huge fan of black ostrich feathers standing ereet. If the lady in question chooses to appear in this headgear on the street, it is surely the business of no one but herself; but when she: imposes it upon those so unfortunate as to sit behind her at a public entertain- ment, and who presumably wish to see, as well as hear the performers, and who have paid for the privilege of doing so, then it is surely the business of the injured ones to protest. I wish to tender my sympathy to those whose evening’s enjoyment was marred, if not spoiled, by the selfishness of one woman. Why will not our enterprising managers form themselves into a protec- tive union for the benefit of their audiences, and refuse admission to every woman who refuses to enter theater or concert hall ste oats. eee A WOMAN.

Theodore Handy, who is one of the best known men in police circles, and who has served a number of terms in jail, was a prisoner in Judge Kimbali's court today on a charge of disorderly, conduct. He was re- leased from jail only a few days ago, and yesterday, while under the influence of liquor, he appeared on Pennsylvania ave- nue near 10th street, stripped to the waist, and wanted to fight the whole community. ‘The prisoner claimed that he was going to his sister’s house in Alexandria and said he was tired of living in prison. Judge Kimball, who had seen the man yesterday, said he would not excuse such conduct and fined him $10 or thirty days. —— Family Troubl. Agnes Jackson, colored, who lives in’ South Washinton, had trouble with her hushand last night, and when the fight was over it was found necessary to send her to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. She had an ugly cut across her face, which, shi claims, her husband, Cornelius Jackson, in- flicted. The husband has not yet been ar- rested.
