The little folks begun to assemble at five o’clock and by nine o’clock, their places were filled by older heads, after having paid due hon- or to the table filled with all the delicacies of the season, that had been prepared by Mrs. and Mr. Neal.

THE NEW SCHOCL BOARD. Thhe District Commissioners made the following order Tues- day. ‘Whereas it appears trom the records of this office that sev- eral of the present school trustees were appointed for terms of service which have expired, and that oth- ers were appointed for indefinate erms,and that said trustees are serving as such in the manner des- ignated ; and wherers it seems best that the terms of such officers should be fixed and determinate, and that it would be best to ar- range the terms of their service at this time, it is v Ordered: That all of the said school trustees are hereby removed from the offices held by them, and that the following are hereby ap- pointed members of the Board of School Trustees, to hold office from this date for the term affixed to their respective names. James W. Whelpley, fora term of one year; A. H. Witmer, fora term of one year ; Louis A. Cornish, for a term of one year; John W. Ross, fora term ot two years; Joseph J. Dar- lington fora term of three years; Jobn R. Francis, for a term of two years; W. W. Curtis, fora term of three years; Ross A. Fish, for a term of two years; James M. Greg- ory, for a term of three years.” By this order Trustees Henry Johnsou (colored) and Appleton P. Clark are disposed and Messrs Whelpley and Cornish appointed to fill the vacancies. A COLORED DEMOCRAT DIS- CHARGED. Robert F. McIntyre, of Albany, N. Y., and the protege of ex-Re- corde: J.C. Matthews,- was dis- charged from the office of the Re- corder of Deeds last week. Mr. Mclotyre was the only colored democrat in the office, and he claims that he was discharged on the recommendation of Mr. John- son, a clerk in the office, and an- other colored republican, Drupree, brother-in law of Trotter, in the Boston Post office.’ Mr. McIntyre says that Mr. Henry Johnson, a colored republican, is really the Recorder of Deeds. McIntyre was one of the most earnest workers for the election of President Cleveland in the canvass of 1884. Much sur- prise is manifested on the part of ex-Recorder Matthews’ friends, that Loguen and Mclatyre, the on- ly colored friends of the adminis- tration, should be discharged from the Recorder’s office at the instance of republicans. Itis saidthat Re- corder Trotter was compelled to make these discharges to liquidate an indebtedness on a note brought against him by Mr. Matthews, and that Matthews was foreing pay- ment. There are other matters which may be developed in afew days, which may operate favorably to Mr. Trotter. It is said that neither Johnson or Dupree had anything to do with the discharge, but Mr. Trotter was compelled to reduce his force to enable him to pay off a note that he(Trotter)gave to Mr- Matthews to the amount of $2000 tor furniture and repairs, that Mat- thews claimed thathe put in the office, which Recorder Trotter has obligated himself to pay. THE BAPTISL£ 8.8. UNION. OFFICERS INSTALLED. DENT’S ADDRESS. THE PREsI- Notwithstanding the rain last Sabbath afternoon, quite a large crowd assembled at the Liberty Baptist Church, corner of 18th and E streets, n: w., the occasion be- ing the installment of officers ot the Baptist Sunday School Union, School trustee Lewis A. Cornish, made the installation addresa, which was instructive to those who intend to administer the af- fairs of the Baptist Sunday School Union. The following officers were installed: Alexander Hamil- ton, President; Ist vice president, Rev. A. 8. Thomas; 2nd vice presi- ident Stephen Johnson, Miss M. E. Pryor, recording sev'ty; C. E. Brown, corresponding see’ty; and Rev. W. J. Howard, treasurer. After Mr. Cornish had delivered his address, the president, Mr. Hamilton, among other thing said, that he thanked the Union for having reelected him, and that he had nothing against those who opposed and voted against his reelection; that he was a ser- vant of God and the people, and he would do allin his power to bring the Union upon a sure and substantial foundation. At the conclusion of his address he intro- duced Mrs, Williams, a mission- ary and temperance advocate, who advised all present to use their influence with those who signed liquor licenses. Mr. Maxfield, of the 2nd Baptist Church, congratulated Mrs, Wil liams and said, that she had done great good in his section of the city. Mr. W. Ualvin Chase, of the Bez, was next introduced, He madea briet review of the work the Union had done and was doing in the community, ard assured those present that oppo- sition sometimes demonstrated the kind of metal that was in a person; opposition said he, often made small men great and great men small. Mr. Ricks, of the “Advocate” was called upon to speak, but he declined on account of the lateness of the hour. The President announced the following committees.

ALMA LEAVENS BANKS, Who departed this life Saturday, September 8d, 1887, Mobile, Ala, in the thirty-third year of her age, was born July 22, 1855, the fifth offspring of Thomas and Francis Leavens, who was one of the first and most highly respected families of Mobile, Ala. God, in His wise providence, saw fit to call the mother Home to rest ere Alma had reached the age of eight years, and in a few short years thereafter the father was stricken duwn with a ter:ible malady and he too succumbed to the grim monster, death, leaving Alma, Fanny and Frank, sister and brother, orphans, upon the cold charities of an untriendly world, Here they commenced the jour- ney of life through “hildbood to- gether without the tender care of either parent, keeping steadily in the path of rectitude and clinging to each other until they reached their maturity. Alma attended school and re- ceived only a limited education, enough however, coupled with her practical experience, amiable dis- position, and her loge for virtue, to fit her admirably for the duties which she was called upon after- wards to perform in the relation of wife and mother and which che always discharged cheerfully and conscientiously. At the age of 21 she went to New Orleaus, La., to live with her eldest sister Mary Louise Moss, here she married in New Orleans and returned to their home in Mobile, whcre they have lived happily together up to the mo- ment she died. Their union were blessed with seven children, three boys, and four girls, Willis, Alma, Luella and Clarence, are iu Heaven, Lil- lie, Fanny and Louis are left with their father to mourn their mother’s loss. : Mrs. Banks professed religi October 19th, 1886, joined Zion A. M. E. Church and linked her self with Class No. 2 and remained a@ steadfast member and a true believer in the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, until she closed her eyes in death. She was very popular in her church, loved by pastor, leader and members. 3 She was kind, gentle and true sociable, generous and charitable. _ traits of character endeared er. “To the rainbow smile of her gentle spirit a light that grows brighter in adversity, comfort and happiness could always be formed.” But the ennobling and refining attributes of her soul laid in her faitbfoluess, faithful in friendship, faithful in morals, faithful in love and finally faithful to her God. In her a devoted and endearing sister, a kind and loving mother, and a true and affectionate wife has goue to a world unknown.

The complimentary testimonial concert to Master Wm. Cook, at the Congregational church last Wednesday evening, was in ey- ery particular @success. ‘The very best citizens turned out as an ev- idence of their appreciation for the young man, Mr. Cook was introduced to the audience by Recorder J. M. Trotter, who said that it was not customary to select one particular artist and introduce him, but there were circumstances connected with Mr. Cook, that made it neccessary to muke the discrimination. Mr. Cook was the great centre of attraction and his executions on the violin were ex- cellent with but a few exceptions. The young man has a bright fu- ture before him, and should he take up his studies at Berlina the Bre bespeaks for him success. The organ solo by Prot. Bischoff, was well received. The solo by Mrs. Lena McKinney, “So Gaily So Brightly,” was not rendered with that sweetness and force as on former occasions. The Oapheus Glee club under the leadership of Prof. J.T. Layton won new lau- Tels last Wednesday evening. The renditions by this club were surpr sing which assured the audt- ence that the members were im- proving. Mrs. Sallie Waring, in Lieti Liguor (Les Huguenots) carried the house by storm, Mrs. Waring is a rising vocalist. She sings with ease force aud sweet» ness. Miss Martina Bruce, who but a few months made her debut before the social circle, is taking the place of the old vocal talent and in a short time she will be a favorite prima duna, Miss Alice Strange was the ac~ companist, and as usual she pre- sided with dignity and grace. The John Wesley church has been crowded to its utmost capac- ity for threeevenings. The occas- ion wasa prize concert under the direction of Mr. A. Line»in Meyers. The first and third ev- enings were particularly for the young children. The second night the program was made up of some of the popular local vocalists. The opening chorus on the second ev- ening wasconducted by Mr. H. CU, Turley, one of the most popular young vocalist in this city. The duett, Hope Beyond, was sung by Misa Arnita Joy and A.L: Bey- era, The rendition of this piece was good. Mr. Meyers isquite a vocalist, and his siately appear- ance and modesty greatly adds to bis singing. Mr. A J. Hall’s, Irene good uight, was enthusiastically applauded. The solo and chorns lead by Mr. Meyers, “I am King O’er Land and Ses,” was sung with much sweetness The Old Turn Key, by-Mr. Turley, a solo, was rendered well. On the even- ing these vecalists appeared it was impossible to get standing room in the church. The recita— tion by Miss Jennie Chichester, was oue of the features of the last evening. This lady has a sweet voice and a five delivery. The success of the concert is due to Messrs Meyers, Bowie and Miss Chichester. LYON&HEALY State & Monroe 3?s., Chicago.
