Brown, several years ago recovered a judgment of $4,500 against the Baltimore and Potomac Rail- road Company, and immediately assigned it to his son. Mrs. Hutchinson sought to ettach the judzment to satisfy one in favor of her husband's estate against the senior Brown, praying that the assiznment from the father to the son be set aside because it Was made before the judgment had been entered. The court blow sustained the as- signment, and that ruling the Court of Ap- peals affirmed, holding that the entering of the judgment was a mere ministerial duty of the clerk of the court, and that the as- signment was authorized the moment the verdict against the railroad company was rendered. ———— Anti-Saloon League.

When Prof. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, Ala., Institute arose to lecture last evening at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church before the Bethel Literary Asso- ciation he received an ovation from his au- dence, which numbered fully 2,000 persons. ; Among them were grave bishops, reverend clergy, lawyers and other representative men and women of the race from every part of the District. Prof. Washington’s theme was “Indus- trial Education,” and he treated the sub- ject in a masterly manner, well deserving of all the applause which was bestowed at frequent intervals during the delivery of the address. The speaker devoted the ma- jor part of his remarks to demonstrating that unless the colored people of this coun- try, mainly in the south, shall speedily realize to a much fuller extent than they now do the necessity of making use of the various kinds of labor-saving machines that the whites do, they w‘ll soon be en- tirely excluded from all occupations where there ir row competition or that the white man cares to enter. In part Prof. Washington said: “If our education means anything, if our young men and women have any object in life, this object should be to lift up the masses who dwell in so large measure on the plan- tations of the south. If tonight you will place yourselves in the place of the col- ored men and women of the south you can better appreciate what I shall say. “We have got to make an effort to better our condition. We must remember that our position is a peculiar one. The rela- tions that should exist between the two races are still unsettled. “It has taken the white race one thou- sand years to reach its present high plane, and if we are wise we will take advantage of some of the advances made by them.” Lot of the Negro. “Our people in the south are finding out that the world is getting very practical, and they care very little about what a man knows, but they do care what he does with his knowledge. “The negro produces almost every bale of cotton that is raised in the south, but let him go to a factory where cotton goods are manufactured, whether it be in Mas setts, Rhode Island, North Carolina or Mis- stssipp!, and for work, and the door will be shut in his face. There are but two or three states in the south where the negro can ride in a first-class railroad coach, but let that negro go into the shop in Massa- chusetts where that coach is made and he will Le turned out of the place. “I have often wondered why it was that fully one-half of the money earned ly the Georgia negro farmer had to be spent in the north for corn and pork and other neces- saries of life, which the farmer must have upport himself and his family during the year, but I never could unders‘and the mat- until I went into Indiana a few months There J saw a white farmer in a field riding on some kind of a machine, of the use of which I then knew nothing. The man was riding on the machine, to which were attached two sp'rited horses, and the man’s principal occupation seemed to be to keep the horses from going too fast. Not only he man in the comfortable position to I have referred, but he had an um- breila to cover his head, to protect him from the rays of the sun. I analyzed t chine, and I found that it plou ground, laid out the rows, and 1) Tows of corn at a time. One-Gallus Man. “A short time afterward I was down in Georgia, and I saw a negro farmer piant- ing corn. He had an old mule attached to an antiquated plough, and dragging behind was a pole about five feet long. Every lit- tle while the mule would stop, and then the farmer would reach behind, take up the pole and beat the mule. This would cause the animal to move on again, but before going far it would be necessary for the man to stop the mule and repair the har- ness, which was made rartly of leather and partly of rags. This he would fix up, but in a little while it would become necessary to make some repairs to the plough. And it would not be much longer before the farmer would have to stop to fix his pants, for our negro farmers are all one-gallus fellows, who are used to making repairs while at work to their trousers.” Speaking of the trades in which colored ren once had a monopoly, but from which they have been almost entirely excluded by white ren, Prof. Washington said: “Thirty years ago there was scarcely a white barber to be found in the city of Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York or Bos- ton. Today there is not a first-class bar- ber shop in one of them that is owned by a colored man. The latter failed to realize that he must progress with the times. He was satisfied to have a dingy shop on a side street. The white man came along, saw an opportunity for making money, rented a nice, bright room on a front street, fixed it up with Improved chairs, hung pic- tures on the walls, and took all the colored man’s trade. The name of the craft was changed; the colored man was a barber, the white man styled himself a tonsorial arust, but he took the colored man’s trade all the same. Even the Washerwoman. ‘Our mothers and sisters in the south who now make their living at washing and ironing will lose even that occupation un- less they will develop progress with the times. I was in Chicago a short time ago, and one Monday morning at 6 o'clock I sent my laundry from my room to be wash- ed and Ironed. At 5 p.m. of the same day it was returned to me in perfect condition. How does this compare with the course pursued fa the south, where you send your laundry to the washwoman at 6 a.m. Mon- day and get it back possibly by 6 p.m. Sat- urday? Some of these days an enterpris- ing northern white man will go into At- lanta or Montgomery or some other city and start a steam or electric laundry and the occupation of the washerwoman will be gone.” Mr. Washington showed by many other illustrations that it was to the interest of the colored people to wake up to a sense of the necessity of making use of labor- saving machinery ard improved methods in all mechanical pursuits or they will sooa be reduced to the lowest condition attain- able in the industrial world. eer Transfers of Real Estate.

The CONCERT AND BALL. — An Enjoyable Evening by the Arion Singing Society and Its Friends. ‘The second concert and ball of the sea- son was given by the Arion Singing Soct- ety Monday evening at Masonic Hall. While the weather kept the attendance down those who’ were present enjoyed them- selves to the utmost. The program render- ed was an excellent one, the several num- bers being enthusiastically applauded. The concert was opened by an overture by the orchestra, which rendered Rossini’s “Ttal- Arions were in excellent voice, their first number, “So Welt,” gaining them unbound- ed approval. They also sang Wermann’s “Nachtlied,” “Wohin Mit Der Freud,” and Grieg’s “Kandkennung,” accompanied by the orchestra, with Mr. Max Neubauer as the baritone soloist. A double quartet, composed of Arions, also rendered “Der Fahrende Student.” Mr. M. Siebert sang and Mr. Chas. Ulivari rendered an excep- tionally pleasing number on the clarionet. Mrs, Boesenberg-Weber and Mr. 5. Holer sang a duet, “Flow Gently Deva,” that was enjoyable. Mr. E. Holer acted as the director of both the Arions and the orches- tra, and Mr. Karl Holer acted as accom- parist. After the rendition of the program dancing was indulged in until a late hour, the music being furnished by the excellent orchestra of the society.

Almost every day we read an account of a bicycle accident, but the very large majority of such accidents never appear in print, and it is safe to estimate that there are from ten to fifteen such accidents every day. Now, is it anybody's fault in particular? After studying the question carefully and wit- nessing two or three accidents, I think all who read this will agree with me that in most cases the rider did not ring his bell in time, or, if he did ring, it was so sudden and quick that it did more harm than good. The bell used now is worse than no bell at all. it is not used at the right time, and oftener not used at all. In any accident the rider is always more injured than the one ridden upon. The following suggestion, if adopted, will save many lives and many broken limbs, and the authorities who can and do make just laws cannot do more for the peo- ple of Washington or for themselves than act on this suggestion: Have each and every bicycle equipped th a bell of some kind that will give a continuous ring and con- stant warning. The bell can be small and automatically operated by the turning of the wheel. The size of the bell can be re lated, so that no annoyance will be given to the rider or pedestrian. Why are sleigh- belis used? For the same reason that the above mentioned bicycle bell should be used —to give constant y noisel howled ycle lamp a year or two ago, but they now admit that accidents have been greatly lessened in its use.

Pen Sketch of Hevivalist Smith, Who is Conducting Services at the Metropolitam M. E. Church. It taay -be curiosity that draws the first crowds to hear Rev; Rodney Smith, better known as “Gipsy”Smith, the English evan- gelist, who is now: conducting @ fortnight’s series of meetings: at the Metropolitan M. E. Church; but once there, his auditors are held by a stronger motive, for-he is one of the most attractive revivalists who ever visited Washington. He is of medium height and stoutly built. There is little about his general appearance to suggest his early life, spent amorg the Romany camps of England. His face, however, tells another story. It is strong and im- pressive. His dark complexion bespeaks a suggestion of the gipsy blood. His hair is black as night, and his mustache and small imperial are of the same hue. There is de- termination written in every line, and yet his eyes are wonderfully kind and persuad- ing. This is “Gipsy” Smith, as he loves to be called. Last night he revealed his power as an exhorter before aboyt five hundred people, who filled the Sunday school room of the church. When he sings the full power and sweet- ness of his voice is made manifest. He possesses one of the clearest and most mu- sical of baritones. He was born a gipsy, and until he was seventeen years old he wandered, with his parents, about England, camping here and there, following the quaint, almost myste- rious life of the Romanies, a creature of passionate moods and uncertain ways of life. One day he chanced to step inside of a church, and his intelligence was arrested. He realized that there was something else in life than the mere freedom’ from re- straint that marks the career of the gip- sies, and his nature became awakened. So interested was he that he procured a Bible, and then, with slow and painful steps, he learned to read. “At seventeen years of age,’ he said last night, with every evidence of pride in his voice, “I stepped from a gipsy tent into a pulpit. Some night before I leave here I will tell you how it all came about.” There is a total Jack of evidence of the uncouth training of this man in his early years. Occasionally there is a broad vowel sound that marks him plainly for an Eng- lishman. He possesses in a rare degree the power of oratory. Last night his text was taken from the gospel of Sty rk, and the phrase he chose was “Repent, and then believe.” Re- pentarce, he asserted, must precede be- lief. Repentance was most sadly misun- derstood. It was seldom genuine. It must be accompanied by acts, the renunciation of the evils of life, however dear they may be. He seored the lip-serving Christians who repent by asserting mere conviction of sin and who then go back into the old ways of wrong-doing. They are call back- ders, but that is unjust to them, f they never were “front-sliders.” They had never truly repented. “You muy say that you cannot quite un- eve,” he said. “You are afraid that you have doubts. Tear up those doubts by the roots and you will tind an evil habit at every root.” He spcke pityingly of the men around Christ, who, when He was assailed for His doctrines, apologized for their leader by He is beside Himself.” In other they indieted intellect.

Last night at Carroll Institute Hall the Ancient Order of Hibernians held their sec- ond annual banquet. Before entering the banquet room each Irishman was decorated with a green shamrock. The room was tastefully decorated in green, the long ta- bles, three extending from the main board, were ornamented with green harps, and immediately in front of M. P. Sullivan, the chairman, was an imitation of the Blarney stone. Throughout the evening wit and mirth abounded, and it was not until a late hour, after the eatables had been demol- ished, that speechmaking was indulged in. About 11 o’clock Mr. M. P. Sullivan intro- duced Mr. John J. Dolan, the toastmaster. Mr. Dolan made a brief speech in honor of the occasion, ending by introducing Mr. Jas. HE. Bergin, who made a happy speech on “The Day We Celebrate.” He was fre- quently interrupted by applause, and when he finished he was loudly cheered. Mr. Ber- gin was followed by Congressman Walsh of New York, who spoke in place of Assistant Secretary McAdoo, on “The American Pa- triot.” A recitation, ‘‘Fontenoy,” was next rendered by Mr. E. J. Walsh, which was vigorously applauded. Mr. E. J. Maloy made an eloquent speech cn the “Future Hibernian; of Soul Sincere, of Purpose High.” The toasts were interrupted by Irish songs, sung by Messrs. Phil. Baer and J.~ Nolan. During the songs Mr. J. J. Dolan saw Col. J. H. Lewis of Seattle, Wash., and he was called upon to make a speec! He spoke en the “Future of Ireland,” and was fre- quently interrupted by applause. Address- es were made by P. T. Moran, on “Our Mother Country,” and by Mr. R. F. Down- ing, on “Our Adopted Country.” These ad- dresses were very eloquent and ended the fun for the evening. ——._—_ St. Patrick Day Celebratio: The Emmet Guard, with their friends, ap- propriately celebrated the anniversary of the birth of St. Patrick last evening in the quarters of the company, at the National Guard Armory. Appropriate decorations adorned the walls, and the Second Regi- ment Band furnished music. Refresh- ments were served and an enjoyable en- tertainment program presented. St. Patrick’s day was celebrated at the Catholic University. An oration in Latin, eulogizing the work of the apostle was d livered by Mgr. Schroeder, and in the even- ing the literary society of Divinity Hall met and listened to papers by M. Wilson, M. M. Hassett, P. J. Keane, John J. Lynch and others.
