Te the Editor of The Evening Sta I am glad that the proverbial gratitude of the negro displayed itself in the meeting held by the negro ci of this city 1 Being a daily reader of The Star, as other papers of Washington, I have noticed the fairness with which it has treat- ed the subject of late outrages upon color- ed citizens in the south. The Star more nearly realizes, as I understand it, the true feelings of the negro than any other metro- politan paper in the United States that it has heen my good fortune to see. We are not fools; we do not ask nor desire negro suprema We ask for a fair field and no favor. Gladly assuming the responsibilities of citizenship, we as such. We ask that our home chased by the sweat of our brow: zenship, purchased by ing fore: and making the waste places fruitf saved as honest wives of honest husbands; our children, born in holy wedlock and not concubinage, shall be respected. Shall our children be born in habitations like human beings or upon the | s of the forest like wild beasts, as eight were compelled in the late North Carolina riots? Calmly and dis- passionately, let me ask if the conduct of the white people in the late riot shows the moral, intellectual and material advance- ment and superiority claimed for them or a condition that would disgrace semi-civ- ilized people? Again, is this a struggle for an advance- ment that redounds to the glory of intel gence, morality and Christianity or a de- grading endeavor for political place and wer?

The noblest qualities which a musi- clan can possess must be combined in the conductor. There must be a thorough fa- millarity with the various instruments of a band or orchestra, and the necessary tech- nical knowledge must be supplemented with enthusiasm, a poetic nature and high ideals. As a successful general must have power to command, so must a conductor posses: that inherent force by which great bodi of performers are controlled and 4) his bidding. ‘They must follow implicitly his lead and sink their individuality in one har- monious whole. John Philip Sousa, the best known of all American,conductors, combines to a conspicuous degree all these quailties which insure the greatness of a concert director. Magnetic of personality, gifted by nature with the rarest of musical genius, a thorough student of the science of music, a born leader of men and with a gracious charm of manner, it is small wonder that Sousa has estabtished himself so firmly in the affections of the music-loving people. The band which he conducts is the musical embodiment of the typical American spirit. Sousa has a positive genius for arranging progeams for his concerts that please every- body, and a guarantee of perfect enjoyment always attaches to a Sousa concert. The admirers of the “March King” will rejoice to read the announcement of an early con- cert_by the Sousa Band at the Lafayette on Thursday, December 1, at a matinee. As in former years, Sousa brings with him two charming soloists, this year in the per- sons of Miss Maud Reese Davies, soprano, and Miss Dorothy Hoyle, violiniste. THE WAR IN MOVING PICTURES.—The war in moving pictures is presented in this, its ninth week, by the Edison wargraph at Metzerott Hall, next entrance Columbia Theater.

The Thanksgiving Day G ing Bad Weather. Third Assietant Pestmaster General Mer- ritt, Cherlie Laird, Will Ellinger and Will Mooney left yesterday for Lodge Landing, about a hundred miles down the Potomac, where they will spend ten days shooting quail and ducks. Mr. W. W. Sellers is having excellent sport rabbit shooting in the southern end of Richmond county, Va. He took his own pair of beagles and the imported English prize-winning beagle belonging to Mr. Brit- tingham of the Raleigh Hotel. There was a great exodus of gunners from Washington last night for various sections of Virginia and Maryland in quest of quail and rabbits. A score of men went to Manassas to try for wild turkeys, which are so plentiful thereabouts. The bad weather will probably prevent the bag- ging of much game, and the usual Thanks- giving day slaughter will not be of pro- portions sufficient to clean up the coyerts, as in former years. Mr. Arthur Mattingly is preparing for his annual bird shooting trip to North Caro- lina next month. He will use his 20-bore Parker gun. Mr. Heath Dodge is also shooting a 20-bore this season. Mr. Joseph Dunlop of West Washington is making big bags of quail this week in the viciaity of Leesburg. Besides being an excellent shot he is fortunate in possessing fine dogs. ners Hav- ——— SISTER FILES A CHARGE. Hattie Wood's Evidence Causes an Investigation. Because of statements made against Rob- ert Wood, colored, in the Police Court to- day, by his sisters, the police are investi- gating his conduct of last Sunday. If the statements of his sister are verified a charge of keeping a speakeasy will be pre- ferred against him. Wood was convicted of assault on his sis- ter Hattie, and was fined $20, with sixty days’ imprisonment in default of payment. Hattie told the court that her brother discolored her eye for no reason whatever. “I was ironing clothes for my mother,” she said, “and he was lying on the bed asleep. He jumped up suddenly and struck me.”” “Judge, your honor,” said the prisoner, “JT ain't never touched my sister.” ‘Had you been drinking?” the prisoner was asked. 1 guess I was,” answered Wood, smiling t the recollection of what had occurred. I had a gallon of whisky and some beer, and we were all smoking cigarettes and having a good time.” ou mean a horrible time,” the judge said. The sister denied that she drank any of the whisky or smoked any of the cigarettes. What whisky he did not drink, she said, he sold. Hattie’s sister gave similar testimony and the court disposed of the case in the manner stated. OBJECTIONS UPHELD. Judge Kimball Reminds a Special Officer of His Duty. Special Policeman Jacob Thompson, doing duty in the Center market, failed to notify Robert Foulks, colored, this morning of his official authority when he arrested him. Robert objected to going with him, during the struggle he used a little vio- lence. The officer was in citizens’ clothes, and, as the colored man knew nothing of his identity, Judge Kimball said he had a right to resist. Foulks was sitting in the market enjoying a nap when the officer came along and dis- turbed his slumbers. Being aroused so sud. denly Foulks indulged in a little profamty. For this Judge Kimbali fined him $5. He dismissed a charge of assault, and instruct- ed the officer that when he makes an arrest it {s well to notify his prisoner that he is possessed of the requisite authority. pee Trustecs’ sale of five modern brick and stone dwelling houses, being premises Nos. 1628 to 1631 R street northwest, on tomor- row evening at 4 o’clock.—Adv eee Result of a Street Fight.

The latter charged that the prisoner struck him on the eye and ran. “What was the caus? of the trouble?” the judge wanted to know. “I had a huckster wagon,” Hamilton an: swered, “and he struck me because I tried to keep him from taking an apple.” The defendant made his statement, and the court said the penalty was $10 or thirty days. % | PRED POR IE CES POSE POS POL IOOS > About Catarrh WHY IT Is CURED BY HOOD'S PARILLA.

An American soldier in Porto Rico has written a letter to a relative in this place, dated at Lare: Part, as follow: “It would have been dificult to write you before this, but now I am enjoying the hos- pitalities of a rich Spanish country home and am much better satisfied than I ever dreamed of being when I started for this island. Iam simply charmed with the pi turesque scenery tnis hilly place afford It certainly is grand. I would give any- thing for a kodak, and if there is a chance to get one here I am going to have it. ‘There are scenes here U would give any thing to have at home. Some of these peo- ple have large field glasses, I sometimes take one on the highest bill here and view the surrounding country, which consists of hills covered with orange, banana and cof- fee groves, dotted here and there with farm houses. “In the matter of meals, we have for breakfast coffee—and it is coffee, too—and we have milk and sugar to go in it. The milk is all boiled for health. Then fish, steak, rice and fried banan: which last is one of the finest-dishes I ever ate. It is customary in this country to eat no break- fast, but they fix one for us Americans. For dinner we have fish, boiled beef, chickens, potatoes, rice, baked bananas beans and some other dishes we do not have in America. About an hour after din- ner we have coffee, and I am learning to like it. “A Virginia boy rooms with me here. We take an hour and a half each watching at night until 2 o'clock. Then both go to bed, for the natives never bother the houses ar- ter 2 o'clock. But before that time, occa- sionally, we shoot at them for an hour. Several of the natives have been killed by cur boy One dead one was carried by here this morning, going to Lares to the priest. “Our nearest seacoa seventy miles awa: October 29, which is, in t town fs San Juan, We can ride on a railroad forty miles, then thirty miles must be ridden on ponies.

They play a few American pieces, but the music com- prises mostly Spanish waltzes.” On His Personal Bonds. “I ain't no vag,” declared Edward Peck- ett, a colored boy, who appeared in Judge Scott’s court this morning on a charge pre- ferred by a policeman. The only thing al- leged against the boy was that he had been loitering about three pool rooms in the vicinity of R and 12th streets. “There are three pool rooms there,” the officer, about them.” “Is he employed in the rooms?” the court asked. If he’s employed in one of them,” an- swered the officer, “he must he employed in all of them. He says, however, that if you will take his personal bonds he will not loaf about these places any more.” “What have you to say about the officer's charge?” Beckett was ask-d. “Judge, I work in one of the pool rooms,”* he answered. “If you are employed in only one of them how is it you are in the other rooms so much?” “Because there is a plano in one of the places and J go there to hear the music.” The boy was released on his personal bonds. said “and Beckett is continually — Distribution of Tarkeys.
