IN BEHALF OF MR. WHITE. Colored Women of Washington Ap- peal to North Carolina Sisters. An address has been fssued by the Col- ored Women’s League of the District, com- prising about 2,000 members, to the col- ored women of North Carolina, urging the importance of the election of repre- sentative Geo. H. White of that state The paper is signed by Helen A. Cook, president, and E. D. Barrier, secretary, and is a follows: “The Colored Women’s League of Wash- ington, D. C., sends greetings to the col- ored women of North Carolina, and en- treats them not to permit our entire peo- ple to be deprived of Congressman George H. White's wise and fearless efforts to ob- tain for his people a fuller measure of jus- tice than they have yet received. “We wish the loyal women of North Carolina to known of the aid unselfishly and ungrudgingly given us by Congress- man White, whenever it would help us in our trials and our labors io improve the condition of our race in Washington, un- selfishly given, because we had no places and no votes to give him In return. Our interests are-but the interests of our com- mon womanhood, our common mother- hood, and we appeal to the wives and mothers of North Carolina to repay to one who is a friend of women the debt which we in Washington would, but cannot, re- pa; “We trust the colored people of Con- gressman White's district share the anxiety, which is felt here, and that they are not light-heartedly contemplating a possible defeat which would throw the rest of the country into gloom. We dare not doubt, indeed that our loss as strangers would be nothing when compared with yours at home; yet we must give voice to our dread that unhappy jealousies, or dull and spiritless indifference, might remove from the Capitol our single representative. “Such fears, however, we reject as groundless, and only wait for election day to express our gratitude to North Caro- lina for her tried and proved devotion to our common cause.” Ss Steps of Street Cars. fo the Editor of The Evening Star: I am glad to know that a long-felt and far-reaching grievance has touched the heart of a symphathette New York legisla- tor, and I ask you to reprint this para- graph from the Boston Transcript, adding to it, if you will, a strong word of your own. 1am one of the very large class of ci zens described as “past fifty, eweriy, weait and rheumatic,” who find it very difficult to get on or off our electric cars because of the high steps. One friend finds the closed car of the Belt line the only one s can attain; which statement must appeal to all philanthrophie persons. clipping referred to is as follows Speaking of electric cars, that is an admirable project of a New York city legislator, who proposes to restrict the height of street car steps one abave another to nine inches. Would not seven be better? There are a good many people who cannot get into our electric cars at all on account of the height of the steps. They are elderly, weak or rheumatic pe ple, who can walk well enough on le ground, and can get up and down ordi- nary stairs, who are utterly unable first to step from the ground to the height of the lower step on our street cars, and then to the next one above. Railroad car steps are never made so high; and in cases where there js not a platform at the height of the first. step, the railroad com- panies generally provide a portable step. Why should street cars be made with higher steps than railroad cars? Simply because they always have been so? There is—no doubt fortunately—a very large class of citizens who have passed the age of fifty. Their convenience in such a matter ought to be worth cultivating. October 29, 1598. H. ——— In Memory of Dr. Lincoln. ‘The local alumni association of the Unt- versity of Maryland held a memorial meet- ing the 24th instant, at which appropriate remarks were made by the president, Dr. Louis Mackall, and others in tribute to the late Dr. N. 8. Lincoln, who was a grad- uate of the university. The association adopted resolutions also, reciting that “one of our fellow alumni and the first presi- dent of our association, beloved and hon- ored by all, has been removed by death from our midst, and we, his associates and fellow graauates, desire to express our sor- row, and to some extent show our appre- ciation of him. “In the death of Dr. Nathan Smith Lin- coln of this city the community has lost a useful and distinguished citizen, the medical profession an able and conscien- tious practitioner. This association mourns the toss o1 une of its oldest, most respected and accomplished members; one who was not only a skillful physician and surgeon, but broad in his love for humanity and zealous in his efforts to alleviate pain and distress wherever found.”” It was resolved that “the graduates of the University of Maryland resident in Washington forward to the widow of our late associate and the faculty of our alma mater a copy of these expressions of our regard.” The resolutions were signed by J. Ford Thompson, M. D.; Otho Muncaster, M. D., and Thos. A. R. Keech, M. Dz, committee, and by J. S. Stone, M. D., secretary. —— Mount Vernon.

AFTER ONE HUNDRED YEARS Remains of Bishop Glaggett to Be Trans- ferred to St Alban's, Bishop Satterlee in Charge of Ar- rangements—Body.to Rest on Cathedral »Site. The remains of Hishop Thomas John Claggett and of his wife,;Mary Chew Clag- gett, after having rested for nearly one hundred years in the family graveyard at Croom, Md., will be rzinterred on the site of the Episcopal Cathedral, old Georgetown Heights, tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, impressive services at the graves to be held according to the rituai of the chureh Dr. Claggett first repres2nted as bishop in Maryland. Bishop Henry Y. Sat- terlee of this city has charge of the ar- rangements for the ceremony, and will be assisted by many of the Episcopal Church dignitaries of the District and Maryland as well. In the estimation of the churchmen the day selected for the service of reinter- ment is particularly appropriate, as Bishop Cleggett’s first charge was All Saints’ or All Souls’ Church of Calvert county, Ma., and tomorrow being All Saints’ day in the church calendar. The removal of ths remains of the dis- tinguished Maryland bishop from secluded Crcom to a more appropriate resting place near the great cathedral soon to tower high above the city, is to be made in ac- cordance with a resolution of the house of bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church, adopted at the triennial convoca tion recently concluded at Epiphan Church, Descendants Approve. With the desire to secure the consent of certain members of th> family, Bishop Sat- teriee journeyed to Baltimore yesterday, where he conferred with Dr. Samuel Chew, one of Bishop Claggett’s gr: grandsons, and Mr. Henry Williams, both of whom expressed their entire approval of the plan of reinterment. Bishop Satter- lee had already secured th2 consent of Mrs. Genevieve Chew, widow of the late Rey. John H. Chew, and her three children, Dr. Thomas J. Chew, John H. Miss B.C. who are the owners of the old Croom farm, which is situated two or thre miles from Upper Marlboro’, an whcre Bishop Claggett was buried. ' Mr: Chew is a granddaughter of the bishop and inberited the farm, which was original owned by the latter’s grandfather, Richar Claggett. This was as far back as the close of the seventeenth century. ‘The old Croom hcuse, close to which the family graveyard where Bishop Cl gett rested, was burned in 1856, The gr are surrounded by a brick wall and an iron fence. It is declared that the statements made in some quarters that the grave we neglected are not true, for Mrs. Chew has attended to the sacred place most faithful- ly at all times. Epitaph in Latin. Bishop Claggett’s tombstone is a marble slab of massive “proportions, and bears an epitaph in Latin, written by Francis Scott Key, the original manuscript being in the possession of Dr. Samuel C. Chew of Bal- timore. Translated the epitaph read “Thomas John Claggett, “First Bishop of Mar Bern October #, “Ordained Dezcon and Presbyter Chew an in London, . 176 “Consecraled Bishop, 1792. “Departed in theuPé@ace of Christ August 3, 181 “He ruled the church with firmness and faithfulness and adorned it by his char- acter. “He left a beloved:memory to his wif his children and his fetends and an honored name to his country and the church.” Bishop Claggett studied divinity with Rev. Dr, Eversfield. @ descendant of Lord Eversfield. The quaintlittle building where he pursued his studies was for ye: point of interest to all istrangers v! Prince George's county. The tiny, cramp ed study was built with red and blue bricks brought from Ergtand.s The sub- stantial old building withstood the storms and ravages of time for generations, and only recently destroyed. It was on the erstield «state, owned by Fielder Bowie, whose mother was Miss Eversfield. The noted place has now passed into (he hands of Mr. Bonaparte, a descendant of Prince Jerome Bonaparte.

John Hamilton Chew was rector of St. Alban’s Church, this city, for many years, and it scems particularly fitting that the remains of his grandfather should last find a resting place near that char Bishop Satteriee intends raising a fund of $8,000 with which it is proposed Jo erect a mouument to Bishop Claggett.
