The charges preferred against a teacher on Capitol bill by a geatle- man in the Capitol, are of a crimi- ual nature and should be investi- gated by the school board. The lady should either vindicate ber- self or stand convicted of the charges preferred against her. The person who made the charges is a gentleman who stands very high ‘a the Kastern section of the city, and in fact in the entire commu- ity. His association with the lady ‘or five years and the evidence it is cliimed that is in his possession, Should be considered. The Bre wil have more to say about this hatter in a few days. An interesting Lawn party, was &\ven at Mra. Robinsons, last Lues- day evening, on Howard Univer- sity Hill. A number of entertain- ‘ug young ladies and gentlemen Were present and a few visitors who happened to be in the city. They had an enjoyable time in the open air and returned very much refreshed.

It was one of the most interesting meeting the school has ever held. The proceeds of the meeting from col- lection was $21 56 which (collec- tion) have been heretofore sent to the American Baptist publication Society Philadelphia; but was this time given to the W. B. H. M. Society of this city. This society being under the management of Miss M. E. Pryor, as its president. The exercises of tie meeting consisted of solos, duets, quartetts, eseays and addresses from distin- guished visitors. Few people have no icea of the gvod this society is doing; and itis hoped that the ministers will give the society all the encouragement as possible. It has now something vear one hundred dollars on hand. This amount was raised by a few young ladies who compose the society. DAY.” The Baptist Sunday School Union met at the 5th Baptist church Vermont ave.n w. June 17th. There were over a thous- aud children present from the diff-rent schools in the district. The meeting Was set apart as the “children day” gathering. Rev. A. A. Lott opened the meeting with prayer, afterwhich led the meeting in responsive reading. Prot. John H. Lawson ad- dressed the meeting on« the “pos- sibility of the Sunday School” Mr. Lawson advocates the paying of superintendants of Sunday schools salaries as large as are paid pastors of churches. et ee NEW YOKK NO'ES. The hot wave struck here last week and the oldest inhabitant says it was the hottest spell, in June, felt here for 17 years. Many per- sons were sun-struck and overcome by heat, and the death rate increas- ed especially among children. The Chicago convention did more to help along the campaign of Cleve- land and Thurman than anything the Democratic committees can do in the same space of time. There are three clubs of colored men, formed in this city up to this time for Cleveland and Thurman. One of them from theeleventh As- sembly district, numbers 35 men; and it is expected that one han- dred’ will appear on their first pub- lic parade. Tom Brown, Dan Morrison, Ed Flow and Caleb Simms, who raised arepublican club in this district during the last campaign, have lost their prestage and if their is a colored republican clab here this Fall, some new men will have to get it up. The picnicat Philips Forxs on 12th of July, will be the swell out door affair of the season. Sixth avenue, the popular prom- enade, hasa deserted appearance now,as most of the dudes have gone to tue various watering places. The managers of the Criterion Social clubs, are renovating their popular quarters. James Trusty has just been ap- pointed to a responsible position in a down town insurance office. His heigth enables him to rack the i without the aid of a step lad- er. ‘St. Marks, St. Cecelia, Lincoln Liberty Union and the Gild at St. Phillips, have suspended Literary exercises for the Summer.

OUR The Bre ventures in this coluinn to give, to an extent, the peculiar characteristics of some of the rep- resentative colored men of the race, and in doing so we hope no one will take offense as we mean all we say: Tue most prominent character in Awerica is Prof. W. J. Simmons, of Louisville, Ky., author of “Men of Mark.” Heis a man with an ambitious frame of mind. He is without prejudice. He earns more money than he saves and while he loves money, he likes to spend it for the elevation of his people. He has a liberal heart. Frederick Douglass, is a liveral hearted soul but he is tainted with alittle deceit and selfishness. He will tell you a thing as a factand if he finds out that it will cause trouble he will shift the responsibility. He has enemies within his own household and very seldom gets any credit for his liberality towards his family. When heis taught to dislike or hate you, he has been in- fluenced by those in whom he con- fides. He would be more charit- able but being controlled by a prejudiced association he is pre- Vented. He loves honor and will pay for it, if necessary. Douglass will use youif he can. John M. Langston never was liberal, financially speaking. He earps his mouey and knows how to keep it. While he is a good man he possesses peculiar characteris- tics. He often plays the fool to make his aim, Noman is too big for Langston, He knows no manu by his position. A bootblack is as much in his eyes as the president of the United States. He will talk as treely to one as he will to the other. If he knows you in the presidential mansion he knows you in the jail. What we mean to say, is, that he scorns no man high or low rich or poor. Langston is one of the greatest living negroes. He is the same in as he is out of of- fice. Ovticial positions does not change hin. Blanch K. Bruce is the most pol- ished representative among us. Bruce is a politician of the keenest kind. He never commits himself on anything. He does more for his friends than any negro representa- tive and gets less credit for it. His fault has been that he has been too liberal to those who have proved to be his enemies. To know Bruce isto love him. He is alion when you starthim, and a lamb when in good humor. No man is more. respected by the American Anglo-Saxon than Bruce. His enemies condemn him because he didn’t make an ass of himself while senator from Miss- issippl. John R. Lynch is a man of sound sense. He says alittle but does a great deal. Heis one of the most truthful men among us, What be says you can rely upon. There is nothing peculiar about this man. T. T. Allain, of Louisiana. is an ambitious man. He cares no more for a dollar than he does for a cent. He loves his race as well as he does himself. He is hard to in- fluence, especially when be knows E he is in the right. Robert Smalls has more hard sense than be has been given credit for. While he may lack all that people claim he ought to have, he has done more than those who claim to have it all. Smalls is a determined Man. The peculiarities of some negroes are, that offices make them great. Au office will often make a man prominent. Men or women become great by doing great acts, MISS POPES’ CASE. TRUSTEE FRANCIS AND SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL MONTGOMERY sus- TAINED BY THE SUPERINTENDANT" It has always been the object of the Bex to give a full and re- liable statement of all matters tbat will be beneficial to the people. A few weeks ago, Miss B. E. Pope sent her resignation to the board of trustees of the public schools, stating as a reason for her resig- nation that she could not stand the tyranical treatment of Dr. Francis and Prof, Montgomery. Last week during the Editors absence, the Editor in charge wrote an editorial comment on the resignation of this Jady and apparently throwing tae respon- sibility on the school officials, without investigating the cireum- stances of the affair, from what Miss Pope stated in her let- ter. The Bes is in receipt of a latter from Miss Pope, who is from one of the oldest families in West Washington, giving her version of the affair, aud on in- vestigation, which the Brg bas made, itcan be stated wichout successful contradiction that the officials of the echools are in the right. Even Mr. Cook, who is a personal friend of Miss Popes and who reasoned with her, sus- tained the action of trustee Fran- cis and Mr. Montgomery. From what information the Brg has, Miss Pope did not have sufticient cause to resign her position as teacher. Miss Pope, in her letter, states just what Prof. Montgomery says, she refused to reinstate the pupil after he had made an apol- ogy. Miss Pope did not think that the apology. was sufficient, the school officials did. The school being in the majority, the hoy was readmitted. While the Bex will atall times defend the weak against the strong, the inno- cent must be upheld against the guilty. Miss Pope and others complain of not having an inves- tigation and that Prot. Mont- gomery was opposed to one. To the coutrary Prof. Mentgomery has favored and still favors an in~ vestigation, if it were necessary. The Bre in common with the peo- ple consider Dr. Francis an excel- lent trustee and a fair minded man. Aud while it is regretted that Miss Pope should resign her position, the Bex thinks that Miss Pope in anger, misunderstood the position of the school officers. There is no favoritism practised in the schoole now, Commissioner Webb in his wise judgement, has relieved the schools of those trustees who were guilty of practising such, ‘Lhe position of the Brg has has always been, and Miss Pope kuows it, to condemn imposition on the part of the school officials against worthy teachers.
