MORE ANON. OUR WEEKLY REVIEW. WHAT WILL THE NEGRO DO? J.C. DUKES’ LAST APPEAL, HE RE- TREATS LIKE A DEFEATED GREEK AND BEGSFOR MERCY. GONE AGAIN. THE BAY RIDGE MANAGER BACKS WATER WHICH WILL NOT AID HIM. It is now a question of the great- est importance as to what the Ne- will do. It has been asked can the Negro question be solved under the present or under the continuation of the democratic administration. Not since reconstr' ction have the colored people been more bru- tally treated in the south as they are now. Our progress is being impeded and our educational ad- vancement is looked upon witha jealous eye. We have not asked for social equality nor have we asked fer more than what we just- ly deserve and yet are not let aione. The case ot ; J. C. DUKES at Montgomery, Ala., is one of the most outrageous acts known to civilization. Dukes has committ- ed no offense, but thg rebel howl that was made against him in Mout gomery, Ala., would lead one to the conclusion, that Dukes was a notorious man and had outraged the white virtue of the south. He made useof the following words in his paper: ‘Every day or so we read of the lynching of some Negro for outrag- ing some white woman. Why isit that white women attract Negro men now more than in former days? There was a time when such a thing was unheard of. There is a secret to this thing, and we greatly suspect itis the grow- ing appreciation of the white Juli- et for the colored Romeo as he be- comes more and more intelligeut and refined. If something is not done to break up these lynchings it will be so after a while that they will lynch every colored man that looks at a white woman with a twinkle of his eye.” For these utterances a man is compelled to leave his wife and children, and few Negro jonrnals join in with this rebel mob to down Dukes. There is one thing we blame him for, but perhaps the poor fellow is frightened and is thus foreed to make an appeal for mercy. In his letter to the Mont- gomery Advertiser, he says: Editors of the Advertiser: Please let me say through the columns of youg paper that the article copied from the Herald and commented upon by the Dispatch of Sunday, was unfortanate, andthat when I published it I had not the remotest idea of reflecting upon or offending any one, and that 1 am very sorry | indeed, that it ever appeared on | paper. I will assure you and the good people of Montgomery that I | had no intention whatever to do wrong and that lam sorry for what | bas happen, L will never do so any more. Please publish this for | me, Dam a poor man and bave a/ wite and four children depending | upon me for bread. Very respect: | fully, ete., J. C. Duke.” A bady c.uld not be any more subinissive than Mr. Dukes in his | letter to the citizens of Montgom ery. Why should he wrie such a} letter aftershe had eseapeu trom | the rebel mob? We are told that he is iu Little Rock, Ark,, Dut is jyet known. = Ln afraid to alluw his identity to be known. We sympathize with Dukes on account ot his wife and children but he is a coward.g EDITOR FCRTUNE ofthe Freeman having decided that his national nob, alias the League, is a failue, he seeks a new field of tabor by joining the Prohi- tion Party. He has repented for his many straddling articles and joined the party of bread and wa- ter. If Brother Fortune will wait a while he can join the new Amer- ican party which we believe will be more beneticial to him. The salt air at Atlantic City must bave made our esteemed contemporary dyspeptic which bas made hima chronic growler. The ‘Capital” last Sunday has this to say about our visit to Bay Ridge: “Mr. Chas. Webb, of Bay Ridge Hotel, says he anticipates no trou- ble from the “suit for damages” brought against him last week by our colored local contemporary of the Bee. It seems that Mr. W. Calvin Chase went down to Bay Ridge to spend the day, and tak- ing a seat in that side of the pavil- ion kept on European plan. was about to order dinner. Mr. Webb sent him word to take a seat on the other side ofthe pavilion— kepton American plan—and he should be served just as the guest who occupied the European side. Mr. Webb observed that so few guests occupied the American side, that proximity to the colored brother would not be appreciable. Chase became very indignant, and tried in vain to instigate a strike among the colored waiters, and on returniniug to this city brought suit for damages.” The “Capital” is in error. Mr. Webb never offered to serve us in the pavilion kept on the American plan. He can’t crawl out of this case by such subterfuge. We hope that there will not be any trouble in compelling Mr, Webb to pay the damages of this suit. 2 SARATOGA SPRINGS. HURLE BEVARDO PLAYS THE THING. WASHINGTONIANS ENJOYING THEM- SELVES. (From our Special Correspondent.) Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Aug, 29. Among the millionaire. retired merchants and weary wall street brokers, as they stroll broadway, may be seen a healthy springling of colored ladies and gents many of whom are true representatives. The mineral waters and the races make Saratoga, I might add the many gambling resources offer in- ducements to langued rest. Possi- bly no place in the world furnish opportunity to see so much finery in the way of jewelry and dress. Paris itself may biush. Grand Union Hotel has without doubt the best balls on this side of the waters. The balls giv n by employees ot this hotel vie those of the guest. So much so that were you to forget the facial appearance of the as- semblys you would be puzzled to distinguish them. Of course the amount of wealth is not displayed for [have seeu a single necklace estimated at $75,000 it is useless to say that its owner was white. The Harmonic club is there and sang Fhursday night. A good num- ber of tickets were sold. The Invincibles, a number of whom are Washingtonians gave the finest entertainment at Town hall last Friday evening, that has been witnessed for a long time, ‘Hurle Bavardu’ is the stage name of rathera peculiar geutle- man of varied talient who recited and sang at Putnam halla tew days since. He was billed all over Saratoga where the eye would most likely fall. The boxes were sold but not occupied, nor were many of the $1.00 and 75 et~. seats. But the 25 ct. seats received a pretty decent ve ice. The Bree scribe had a quarter seat. He ealled to mind while awaiting the tardy curtain the many heroes of the historie art, aud was wondering whether his eyes tonight would not behdld a greater artist than the world has afew minutes af ter the orchestra composed of a solitary pianist, by the way a very good one, marched in. A lively hair was strack and the big bvots in the gallery chimed in with bol low and resounding tones Miss Bishop a lady of rare and wonderful ability was «qual to any amateur ou the boards. She isa 5 eents per copy. NO. 14. vocalist from the word **go.” Easy of manner, clear of tone accurate in speech she combines all the ele- ments of a graceful musician. Mr. Henry Cliffynue is noted for his sweetness of tone and searching melody. With good range, easy glides natural tones, no compli- Inent is more deserving. Miss Bertha Logan sang with a dash and caught the crowd. Mr. Bishop is a preposesing young man of fiue culture. We come to *Hurle Bavardo” “How my heart trem- bles while my tongue relates. By this time the peut up patience of the audience could endure no longer. The curtain raised and a small brown-skined gentleman with handsome mustache walked forth and struck an attitude. He serene- ly locked his fingers and with na- sal twang said “Fra Gicoma’ =vas amonk. Of course the plaudits of the audience had ceased and tie player was composed. He told the glory of this great monk whose fame he was perpetuating with halts, stops and repronuneiations. Finally the “star struck in.” At one time it was diffidult for me to tell whether his vernacular was Irish or English. The “female” came with writhings and contor- tions of face that are seldom seen even in the very throes of death. The dagger was fumbled I thought it was a razor when he said in strong head toues, “Take this and this.” It was rather a strange thingtosee a man billed for one thing and play another. Othello was the startling advertisement. One gentleman a New York law- yer of wealth ind great repute ev- en said that he thought that the spirit of jealousy was stronger in the Negro race than in the white. This be thought also was Shakes- peare’sy reason for picturing Othello anong the Italians. I said that Othello nor any moor was a Negro. He was another type. The gentle- man said he would look up that poiat for he was formerly of the opinion that Othello was a Negro type. Contented that I had said something smart, we began to dis- cuss further Bavardo. I had not seen him play them fortunately. But to continue in spite of Mr. Ba- vardos’ Chicago & Boston training he lacks reality, vilely mechani-- cally he attempts to stir passsion. Horace some where says he who would have me weep must first weep himself. There is a visible struggle in Mr. Bavardo delivery which might be styled a grasping the etherial. Mr. Bavardo has a harsh voice and is effeminate. The thing for which he deserves the most praise and that was not in the play was his presence of mind to reverse the ligh’s in the drunk- ards soliloquy. Mr. Bavardo has’ great nerve and will in time over come diffi- culties. The talent was from Philadelphia in fact a Philadelphia audience gathered and seem amus- ed as they wore smiles when the scene closed. OxsERVER. VIRGINIA JUSTICE.
