BAWDY HOUSES. On our front page will be seen a report concerning a raid and cap- ture of inmates of two well known bawdy houses, in the northwest. ern section of the city. There has been several innocent young ladiex accused of being at these houses on the evening of this raid. This is done, no doubt, to throw the suspicion off of the real persons who were there. We know from personal knowledge that the per sons who were caught in the house on 20th st., (i.e.) the females are without standing in our communi- ty, and it is hoped that the people will not believe the report concern- ing certain ladies, who have been accused by those who are endeav- oring to hide their own guilt. This is a lesson to young ladies who are seen in the company of suspicious males and females. BiSHOP TURNER MOBBED. Bishop H. M. Turner one of the most distinguished .divines in the country and a representative of the colored people was invited by the Prohibitions to speak in San Antonio, Texas last Tuesday, but was prevented from doing so by an armed mob of blacklegs, thiev: s and gamblers. Even the Mayor and councilmen of the city took a hand in the assault on Bishop Turner. The south has a great deal to learn yet. It is a shame that respectable citizens are uot allowed to express their views without being assault. ed by a mob of cut throats. When the Bishop was introduced by one of the Prohibition leader, an ex-confederate, some one in the Mr. Webb 1s under bond and until be is releived he proposes to run the schvols to suit bhimselt and the better element of the people Among the many colored men in the “Evening Star” office, we know of none who is more entitled to a promotion than Mr. Geo. H. Johnson. There have been many promotions made of persons, who have been less de- serving, a d why this worthy col- ored man has failed to receiye one is a question that many don’t un- derstand. We have been informed by Mr. W. W.. Curtis, of the Chicago “Daily News.” and Mr. Charles R. Douglass, that there was no discrim- ination on May 30th, at the Logau memorial, that was held at the tomb of General Logan. Mr. Douglass says, that the Orpheus Glee Club was invited to s:ng, and did sing exellent music. Mr. Cur- tis says that only a limited num- ber of people were allowed admit- tance to the grounds, because the owner of the grounds did not wish them to be injured. Mr. Outlaw, the injured party, says that he was told by a man at the gate that he could not be admitted. He also says that an officer called him a- side and in the presence of the lady in whose company he was, told him that colored people were not admitted. It can be seen that the whole statement of Mr. Outlaw, | is contradicted by Messrs. Cartis and Douglass. The latter gentle- man gave usthe names of one or two prominent colered people, who were present and which is ua- necessary to publish. The Washington Cadet Corps passed a resolution thanking the newspapers for their kind notices, and elected the Wormly brothers, Wash B. Williams, Commissioner Webb, J.M. Trotter, and other crowd threw eggs at him and de. manded that he should come aaa | honorary members of the organi- zation, Trotter said, ‘‘what does he care for Washington papers.” He can be trotted out of the city if he is not careful. Men who talk at the small gate are very small men. Trotter then must be a small man. Tago once said he was a fool. Men who believe in ghosts and spirits must be fools. Providence made Trotter Recor- der of Deeds. It is true because he said so. Jim Matthews then must have been that Prcvidence. Iago can play many parts. He smiled at Douglass and knifed him and tickled Matthews and threw his Deputy Recorder overboard. His next step will be to convince Trotter that he is a smaller man than Grant. Men ofteu believe that they can do more than they can. He who thinks so is a fool. Iago’s next step will be to turn Othello Trotter against Cleveland, and then go and hang himself. Matthews was not instrumental in having Fred. Douglass, Jr., re- moved, Tago tells itas a fact and claims to have letters to prove it. The people would be better con- vinced if Iago will send one of the letters to the Bre office for p blication. Trotter his enemies. It is an assertion to the BEE. He can do it after the passes in his checks. The Bex is not one of the intimi- dating kind. Matthews will return, and when he does it will be like the burst of au ocean or an earthquake. Men who play many parts, should be careful and play one of them correctly. is vindictive against intimidate editor Trotter will trot out in ’88, if} 5th. Committee report and discus- not sooner. Iago’s days are numbered. The editor of the BEE will be Re- corder Deeds. He would rather edit his little BEE and Chase Trotter. The Bee willbea semi or tri- weekly soon. Trotter has the big head. A man who gets the big head in Washington, is generaliy made small. Men who appear great are often made very small. Small men are very small in the eyes of the Washington people. The reason Capt. Brooks was not out with the boys to be pho- tographed was, because he de- clared when he saw that good looking picture in the Bre last week, that he wou'd never have another picture taken, as he knew it would be impossible to get one like it. ALABAMA NOTES. DR. PEREZ’S DEPARTURE, THE SCHOOL BOARD AT HOME. &e, Mobile, Ala., June 12, ‘87. The many friendsand_ acquaint- ances of Mr. C. Perez, Jr., M- D., of the War Department, were more than pleased to see him in our city last week, looking well and in fine spirits. Mr. Perez, who recently graduated with honor as M. D. from Howard University, Wash- ington, D. C., isa former Mobilian, and has the best wishes of this community for his future success and prosperity. His immediate friends here regret that his time was so limited, which rendered his stay here of such short duration. However they hope that his next visit will be more prolonged, which will enable them to contribute more to his pleasure. — Mr. W. Aymer Caldwell and his lovely bride, Miss Leonora Shep- herd, who were united at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., last week, arrived home last Tuesday noon.
