It is said that dull times are uot known by the agents for the great publishing house of George Stinson & Co., ot Portland, Maine, The revs -n of this exceptional sue cess is found in the fact that they always give the public that which is keenly appreciated and at prices that all can afford. At present we understand, their agents are doing wondertully well on several new lines. They need many more agents in all parts of the country. Those who need profitable work should apply at once. Women do as well as men. Experience is not necessary, for Messrs. Stinson & Co. undertake to show all who are willing to work, not hard but earnestly, the path to large success. It should be remembered that an ageut can doa handsome business without being away trom home over night. Another advantage —— it costs nothing to give the business a trial, and an agent can devote all his time, or only his spare mo- ments to it. Stinson & Co. guar antee grand success to all who engage and follow simple and plain directions that they give. We have not space to explain all here, but full particulars sili be sent free to those who address the firm; their full address is given above. re tors name ched thereto.

Po DEDICATION OF LINCOLN MEMORIAL CHURCH. The Lincoln Memorial Congrega- tional church corner 11th and R sts., was dedicatad lash Sunday with appropriate services. The church has been thoroughly renovated and now presents a very attractive appearance. The audience room is a neat chapel with a seating capacity of six hundred and fifty, the commodious Sunday Schools with class rooms adjoining, which is in the rear of the chapel will seat three hundred and fifty. All departments of work, indus- trial educational aud religious are under the auspices of the church. The dedicatory sermon was preached by Rev. A. F. Beard D. D. of New York subject The strugles of life,” from the text ‘‘He that overcommeth shall inherit all things.” Dr. Beard was for many years the pastor of the English chureh in Paris.

Next Sunday is the six anniver- sary of the church. It begun with only aeleven and now has au en- rollment of over eighty members. Rey. Moore, and the officers of the church deserve great credit for the fine condition in which the chureh has been put. Rev. Moore, is an energetic and christian gentleman, who is entitled to the respect and coufidence of the entire communi- ty. Much suceess to this young divine. — — WEST WASHINGTON. James L. Turner, Agent and Reporter. 1417 West 28 Street. The concert and exhibition by the choir of Mt. Zion M, E. church on Wednesday eve’g Dee. 29th ‘86 was one of the grandest concert’s ever given in this section. The talent for the occasion consisted ot some of the very best that could have been selected for such an ap- preciative audience, composing some of our very best citizens. Af- ter prayer by Rey. P. Ryder, P. E. avery delightful programme follow- ec: Among those who took part were Miss L. Vance of Detroit Mich., whose sweet voice enchanted her hearers especially the solo. ‘‘Georg- gian Slave.” Mrs. Lucey Moore of this place sang in her usual style and in the duet of the “Music trial with Mr, R.S, Parrott, she far sur- passed her former effo: The rich baritone voice of Mr. Parrott which never tails to please an audience as also the deep basso Mr. J. Shamwell, especially in the solo and quartette “I am king o’er land and sea” with Messes Irving, Young and Beason. The singing of Misses I. Smith, B. Carrick, F. Martin, H. Wright, and E. Bowles was very creditable; space will not allow us further to speak of the programme of the evening which was so accurately carried out. Memorial exercises will be held | by Rev. S. M. Newman, pastor of (to morrow) Sunday after noon at 8 o'clock at Mt. Zion M. E. chureh by the Sunday School in respect to their late officer and teacher Miss Mattie Lane. Miss Alice Beason and her friend Miss L. Griffin who spent the holi- day with her mother Mrs. H. Bea- son left here Monday last, to take charge of her school at Chesapeake city Cecial Co., Md. Miss M. A. Beckett assisted by Mrs. Maria Ogle gave a very bril- liant reception at her residence 2617 O st., New Year’s eve’g. Mrs. J. Ashton has resigned as organist of Mt. Zion choir, Mr. J. L. Turner will perform that duty until another organist can be pro- cured. Misses K. Davenport and G. Mitchell have return to their schools in Md. The Misses Payne of Albany, N. Y., who have been spending the Holidays with Mrs. L. Bowman left here for home Thursday being highly delighted with their visit. THEY SAY THAT, The Bee is tHe Colored paper. It is outspoken, free and fearless. While it is republican in princi- ple it is no toady to party. Its advocacy of Mr. Matthews for Recorder of Deeds is a just tri- bute to a political opponent. Mr. Matthews should and will be confirmed despite the jealousy of a few would be leaders. The opposition to Recorder Mat- thews emanates, principally, from a few disappointed colored men who dislike being shelved. A certain lady remarked that she knew parties opposing Record- er Matthews because he failed to give them social recognition. A certain ten per center is airing himself about Mr. Matthews be- cause that gentleman declined to take him by the coat collar and ‘lift him into society.” Another gentleman, at one time prominent in office, and who cham- pioned Recorder Matthew’s case has changed front and is now ac- tively knifing him. A clerk the son of his father was requested to‘‘step down and out” from the Recorders office be- cause of a constitutional weakness that is to say born tired. The “‘soldizr racket” given this clerk the son of his father by the Advocate is the ponderous effort of his own mighty intellect. The ‘‘unceremonious bouncing” of this delicate child was no ser- prise to his illustrious father who fully understood the weaknes of his amible, and uoselfish son. Some colored men holding fat positions under a democratic ad- ministration are quietly, as they think, endeavoring to defeat Re- corder Matthew’s in obtaining a position under an administration in which he is in political sympa- thy, aud they are not, Certain republican Senators, who they have visited, have given them “dead away,” and, perhaps, at no distant day these gentlemen may possibly learn the proprieties ot political action. Recorder Matthews, has given offence because he prefers. to pur- sue the quiet habits of his life in preference to be a “cheap John” at every progressive Euchre party and shoddy reception. John Wesley Cromwell is dys- peptic and a born grumbler and is never so happy as when pulling down some colored man who towers head and shoulders above him. There isno disguising the fact that Recorder Matthews is being opposed by certain colored men who have gained prominence in the republican party and can’t bear to see honors conterred on other col- ored men even in the democratic party. Next week’s Bee will contain many surprises some of which will junsettle the value placed apon high flyers in fashionable life. Mr. Lewis H. Douglass is the author of the articles in the Advo- cate. Elembee is doing well in Kansas city Mo., and will be inthe city soon. Commissioner Webb thinks well of Matthews.
