(A LIBERAL reward will be paid for the arrest and coaviction of the first person sending us a complete set of answers to the fol- lowing queries.) THE average earning of a humor- ist are $250,000 per annum. At this rate what is a medium-sized spring-poet jest worth ? A CERTAIN saloon sells seventy eight dollar’s worth of liquid re- freshment per day, yet its receipts are only fifty-three dollars. How is this? (This problem is inserted by request of the proprietor of the es- tavlishment referred to, who only spends one hour of the twenty-four iu the saloon, which, during the rest of theday, is managed by an urbane and accomplished bar-tev- der .) JAMES has sixteen apples and eats fifteen of them. How in thun- der does he do it? WHEN the youth of the period is at his desk in the store, an hour seems about ninety minutes in length; but when he is at his girl’s house in the evening, its duration does not seem more than fifteen minutes. Explain this. THE plumber’s charge is ostensi- bly four dollars a day, yet he usual- ly scoops in about eleven. How does he do it?--Tid Bits. 2 THE EMANCIPATION, A MEETING OF THE COMMITTEES. MONDAY APRIL 18th DECIDED ON. A meeting of the committee of arrangements and finance mctat the Bee office Monday evening, Mr. W. H. Jackson of the finance committee stated that the committee would need $250 to detray the expenses of the cele- bration. Mr. Chase moved that e ch district be requested to con- tribute $10 and the same be sent to the chairman of the committee. Afer the adjournment of this committee the committee oa ar- rai.gements convened Mr. W. H Barker, chairman, wes unable to attend on account ofan ac_.de.t he met with last Saturday, 8» Mr. Arthur Goins was elected chair man protemp»re, and Mr. Morti- more Dorsey was elected secre- tary. It was decided that each district and organiza‘ion be noti- fied that the 25th anniversary of the Emancipation of District slaves will be celebrated Monday April 18h. A sub committee on entertainment was appointed to perfect arrangemeuts tor an enter tainment. Mr. J. T.

Itis reported that one woman who lives on F st., s. w., who has for many years kept the company of a number of unmarried girls on Bst., and who are all mothers of one or more children, visits halls of disrepute and other places in the city. She was charged also as keeping the company of married women and needs no doctors to carry out any rascally scheme that she wants to accomplish. She kept theeompany ofa man who two; years ago caused the death ofa woman on the same street. She was charged as being a wo- man of bad character. She is asso- ciating with men other than her husband which has caused many a woman to disgrace herself and many a man to leave his wife, and when she was spoken to about her immoral ways she declare that she wants a divorce from her hus- band. She makes charges against respectable men and women for the puipose of renewing herself. The people in that section of the city have become disgusted and will no doubt apply to the police to arrest the woman as a public prostitute. rr TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. CHAIRMAN MOSBY’S EDICT. Headquarters of the Emancipa- tion celebration, 11091 st., n. w. Washington, D. C. March 11, ‘87. In order to allow all citizens of color to participate in the 25th anniversary of the Emancipation of slaves in the District of Colum- bia and whereas Saturday the 16th day of April is inconvenient to many thousands of our colored citi zens to do honor to the 25th anni- versary oftheir freedom, I, Charles F. Mosby, by the authority and re- quest of the committee of arrange- ments for said anniversary cele- bration, do hereby designate Mon- day April 18th, 1887, as the day on which the 25th anniversary of the slaves in the District of Columbia shall be celebrated. It is therefore, hoped that each and every patriotic freedman will do allin his and their power to make this day one of the grandest and most imposing occasions in the race’s history. Done in this city of Washington, this 11th day of March one thous- and eight handred and eighty seven by order of the committee of arrangements, Charles F. Mosby, president of the day, Wm. H. Brown, secretary. AND STILL THEY COME! Last week The Bee published a list of names of persons who had registered for Prot. Adams German course.

A gen'leman in Indiana, in re- questiug the Bee to be sent to him has this to say: : Ist. Because you believe that the day for keeping alive the dog- mas of the republican party is ast. 2nd. Because you educate the race in the principles of political economy, by teaching that the auction block and slave pen are i things of the past. 8d. Because you believe that by industry will thrive and that it isabetter safe guard to: the preservation of the our liverties for us asarace to enlist the re- spect and sympathy of the whole American people The writer al- so informs the Bee that there is a colored democratic club in Indian- apolis consisting of 400 votes. For this representation the colored people have two letter carries, 2 in the mail service, 1 deputy clerk of this county and last spring 8 colored men were appoined depu- ty assessors ,2 in the commissioners court 2 jrnitors, 8 out of 7 police- men, NOTA DISSATISFIED CON- GREGATION. AS PUBLISHED ON THE 26TH OF FEB- RUAhY. It is not for any-body to know what course the Conference will take in regard to the appointment to Mount Zion church. We are not so well informed as others, but reasons and evils complained of are not correct. Rev. Collins is a christian gentleman and his conference collections have surpass ed those of last year, if we are correctly informed. The retro- grading in the congregation as spoken of is nota fault of the pastor, but itis the manner in which itis handled beyond the coutrol of the pastor. Where are all our working associations, and who were their opposers? Who has epposed the proper mode of organization? Whoever they are, that is the source that has worked injurious tv our congregation. The arvitrary power that has o’er shadowed us has chilled the warm interest of many. The prominence of family rule and legisla:ion in the interest of a few, is no aid to christian advancement. Those who could not accept the situation was mae to feel the force of their official importance. We can say that our congrega- tion is not a mass of confusion, but we are the equals of any in the District, as regards our reli- gious habits and our united minds in reference to the officials. We have nothing to do with ther wants and disatisfaction. This seven headed monster name! Big Me and a desire to hold the highest seat in the synagogue will crush out the interest of any con- regation that can be brought together, The Official Board belongs to the people and not the people to the Board. One man for one office not three offices for one man, is the necessary reior- mation inthe interest of peace in the Methodist Kpiscopal Church. B.F, THE JUNIOR EXCELSIOR ORIOLE. BETHEL HALL CROWDED PRETTY YOUNG LADIES AND PRETIY CUS- TUMES. A BEE REPORTER ATTACK- ED BY THESE PRETTY FARIES. WHAT WAS SEEN AND WHO WERE THERE. The Junior Excelsior opened their grand oriole last Tuesday evening at Bethel Hall M st., be- tween 16th and 17th sts. Mr. W. A. Stewart, a very enterprising young man, is the president of the organization aud the purpose of giving this“ oriole is to secure funds to errect a hall in this city. It is an enterprise that should be encouraged. The members are young men well known in this city who represent intelligence and so- cial popularity. Bethel hall at the opening of the Oriole was crowded, and has been, notwithstandings the enclement weather the whole week. The hall is beautifully deco rated with flowers, chinese lan- terns. Mr. Stewart had a great deal of his decorations imported and the whole place presents a beautiful appearence. A Beescribe bas been on the scene the whole week and notwith- standing its stinger the young ladies claimed that it only had honey for the ladies of the Excelsior Oriole, which of course was true. The Bee scribe natually became infatuated with the ladie’s pretty faces and their stylish and lovely peasant costumes and the great number that gathered around caus- ed him to become embarressed. He was greatly relieved however when he met president Stewart who re- quested the ladies to go and _ at- tend to their business. After hav- ing secluded itself in a corner it observed that the table holders were Washington’s fairest and most accomplished young ladies. The most attractive table is the china table, which fairly groans un- der the weight of its great quantity and superior quality, of its ware. It is the decission of all who have had the pleasure of viewing it that it bears away the palm of all com- petitors. The ladies in charge of this table are: Misses Eva A. Chase, L. 8. Chase, Dora Smith, Jennie Darl- ing, Janie Page, Blenuie Bruce, Rebecca Baldwin, Emma Davis, Sadie Gaskins, Mattie B. Bruce, Birdie Page. These ladies are dressed in Shep- herds costume’s and the manner of the table is Shepherds Highland. The Little Chatterbox. The Bee scribe was somewhat mixed. Such chattering he never heard. Princess of these chatters was Miss Mattie E. Bowen, which he thought was very applicable. She is assisted by Misses Carrie Gray, Lilly Masou, Carrie Montd- gue. The costumes of the ladies at this table are very becoming. Being somewhat warm the Bee called at the ice cream table and president Stewart introduced Misses Eliza Johnson, Fannie Moten, Melvina and Hattie H. Contee, Josephine Smith, and Sa- die Garret. There was so much to be seen that it was impossible for the Bee scribe to obtain all the pretty young misses who were present, but will continue them ia the next report. The oriole will hold until the 25th inst. > —_____ GENERAL ITEMS. There are indications that many of the Northern Congressmen will go South, and address the people in those sections during recess. The request by 117 students of Roger Williams University Tennes- see, situated in the city of Nasb- ville, for an honorable dismissal, or for better treatment, was granted on Tuesday March 1, and the re- signation of the president and treasurer were also asked for the good ofthe University and this request was made by the faculty, but refused until the American Baptist Home Missivn Society had passed upon it. There were four deaths for Feb- tuary in this District, among the colored more than the whites; and six more births; a gain of two by the colored over the white in popu- lation. Cardinal Gibbons of the Ameri- ean Catholic church prfers the membership of the church to be members of the Knights of Labor, than to be protestants; therefore Y | he declares to the pope, that the opposition which the church set up against the order of Knights is not useless, but will alienate the sympathy of the American la- boriug masses from the church: but he considers the organization ofthe Knights of Labor in the United States to be harmless, and tie only resenting weapon to hold capital in such a position as will adjust the difficulties between cap ital and labor. The population of London, has increased in sixty years, since 1816, from 958,863, to 4,000,000, Pari , from 713,666 to 2,300,000 Bertin from 195,000, to 1,250,000. here is still another woman in New York state awaiting her exe- cution of death sentence to be paid upon the gallows for the murder of her husband by poisoning him. She was sentenced by the Catta- rangus county court, hername is Mary Wilman. Reports are brought to this office daily of persons who are very wrongfully disposing of their Freedmen bank-books at an un- reasonably large discount, Con- gress and President Cleveland having witnesed so much of this kind of robery which has become a national sin. The Washington Critic, in its is- sue of Thursday March the 3d, paid a very flattering compliment to the colored citizens for their very substantial position and view sustained in the struggle between the two great national parties for political capital in their fight over the Matthews and Trotter case. There are two things which seri- ously affect Washington at this time, one is the empty Hotels of Congressmen and their callers, and the other is the full city of Record- er of Deeds Trotter and his friends. The refusal of Governor Hill = New York to commute the death sentence of the murder of ber hus- baud, Mrs. Roxalana Druse, pre- cludes all possible hope of his com- muting that of Mrs. Mary Wilman, not withstanding the records show that five Governors in succession in- cluding President Cleveland, ex tended that clemency to the mis- erably and justly convicted fair sex. The Odd Fellows had anniversa- ry sermons preached at the Bethle- hem Baptist, and Israel Bethel on Sunday last. Miss Ellen Pierce, a school teach- er in West Moreland County, Va., was home on a flying visit Sat- urday last, and day. returned Mon- Mrs. Mary E. Flood, has sold her lot in P st.. n, w., to Mr. P. A. Darneille, and will soon purchase in South Washington where she lives. EMANCIPATION DAY. COM- MITTEES APPOINTED. A BIG PROCESSION ANTICIPATED ON EMANCIPATION DAY.
