Alexandria, Va., July 10, 1888. Mr. Editor: Ler Dear Sir: : You do me a great injustice when you say through the columns of your paper, that I became exasperated in the pulpit ou Sunday evening, July Ist., and therefore on seeing ladies leave before the preaching was over offered them an insult. It was not so. And whomever your informant was certainly told you that which was wrong. Very respectfully W. T. Graham. The statement was made to the Bex by Miss Lena Griffin, No. 1920 N street n. w. She stated that she was the lady who visited the church of Rev. Graham, and the insult was offered while she Was on the way out of the church, Ed. rd DEATH OF Wn. H.

Mr black had been suffering for some time with aheavy cold, from which he never was able to rally. Iie was ove of the most genial men in thiscity anda prominent member of society. No one knew him but to love and honor him. Everybody knew Hen. Black as he was called among his near friends. Society has last a valu- able member, the city a citizen of honor und distinction and the needy a true friend. Whatever his faults were he was never known to injure a friend or toe. All men are not perfect but Mr. Black possessed those qualites that won forhim the administra tion of the entire communnity.

Rob- inson, O. Robinsion and P. Stewart: Rev. J. A. Taylor, pastor, A very handsome sum was realized.

Here they will take part in the gaieties of this famous resort for a period of six or eight weeks. A grand exhibition was given at Mt. Jezreel church, Monday and Tuesday of this week. One of the most notable features of the even- ing was the eating of fire by Chas. Bryant. The Young Ladies Working Club under the auspices of Miss N.

RUMORED CHANGES TO TAKE PLACE. It is rumored that there are sev- eral changes that will be made in the personal of the colored schools as soon as the trustees meet. It is claimed that these changes are absolutely necessary for the good of the children. Prof. Cardoza will be succeeded by Prof. H. M. Brown, a citizen of this city and one of the most accomplished young menin the country. Miss Lucy Moten will be displaced and her position filled by another. There is a great pressure being brought to bear against the Mont- gomery brothers and quite prob- able there will bea change in at least one of these supervising principals. Misses Merritt or Nalle will be appointed to the Ban- neker school. The Commissioners have not as yet decided on a change in the colored superinten- dent. Mr. Ellis Brown will prob- ably be removed and his place filled by an accomplished teacher. Miss Lucy Moten, who is reported will be displaced, has taught in the schools for a number of years and the complaint against her is par- tiality in marking graduates. The trustees are all quiet on the sub- ject and in fact refuse to talk at all concerning any of these changes. When the trustees can decide up ona man to succeed Mr. Cook, the Commissioners will probably act. TO BE MARRIED. H.C BRUCE TO A WESTERN BELL. SHE HAS WEALTA. Mr, H. C. Bruce, of the Pension office and brother of ex-Senator Bruce, will be married to Miss Nannie P. Gee, of Highland, Kan., Wednesday evening, July 25, at Highland, Kans. The marriage will take place at the residence of Mrs. Martha Hubbard, at which place a grana reception will be held and the elite of that place willbe present. There will bea reception tendered him by Mrs. L, F. Harris, after his departure from Highland. Mrs. Harris is his sister and one of the leading citizens of Leavenworth, Kan. This wedding will be one of the most brilliant affairs that ever took place in the West. Miss Gee is one of the most accom- plished ladies in Highland and is a school teacher of 15 years ser- vice. Upwards of 250 invita- tions have been issued and from all indications it will be the most brilliant marriage that ever took place in the West. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Bruce will be inthe city August 2nd, and will stop at 1143 9th street, where they will be pleased to see their many friends. + WHO WILLIT BE? ° TWO CANDIDATES STRONGLY IN- DORSED, It is a well settled fact that no man will be appointed to the principilship of the Bannaker school. There aré two female candidates who are strongly indorsed for the place, Miss KE. F. T. Merritt and Miss Mary Nalle. The former has the indorse- ment or recommendation of superintendent Cook and is said to be one of the best teachers in the corps. It is reported that Miss Nalle is opposed to by the superintendent on account of her alliance with the Patterson family who are inimical to Mr. Cook. If this is a fact Miss Merritt will be the successful applicant. Miss Nalle is a refined young lady and is deserving of recogni- tion, Her alliance to anyone that is inim‘cal to Mr. Cook should not be abarto her promotion to a place she merits. The trustees all admit that Mr. Cook is an impediment to the schools, but there is not one who has the courage to recommend his rem val. There have been no weekly or monthly meetings of teachers nor are any questions discussed among the teachers, that would promote the material inter- est of the schools. This lack of interest is due to the superinten~ Seorse H. Boston; vice president, | hibition ; showing that a great deal|dent. Mr. Webb should either give the colored schools a new superintendent or place men at the head of the echools who will force the present superintendent to do his duty. ITEMS OF @&. U. 0. OF O. F os The ladies of the Banner club, are making preparations to give the public another one of their en- joyable entertainments. This time at 1429 N street. Rosa Hill Lodge had a sermon preached to them at Liberty Bap- tist church, Sunday evening. Golden Grove Lodge, I. 0. of G. S. and D. of S., have once more come to the front, this time to stay. The church societies and Oud Fellows and G. 8., ought to pur- chase a place to give picnics, as the 4th of July has demonstrated the fact, by the row at Vanness’ which is only one of the many that took place, that that is no place to safely carry our families and social enjoyments. P. G, M. Council, 44, held their monthly meeting on Monday even- ing, which was well attended. S. C. of M., meets in Philadelphia this week, the special circular will be read in a few weeks. Several members of the order are expected to enter into business this fall, we wish them success. There is not the least dauger of this B. M.C., removing the head- quarters of the order from Phila- aelphia. It is idle gossip, they talk to the contrary. It is said that Mrs. Massey and Mrs. Holley are the largest real es- tate owners(colored female), in this city. Sister Hattie Stribling will spend her vacation in the Western moun- tains. 8 The next B. M. C. will be in Atlanta, Ga., that is to say in 1890. Our friend, David Warner, will be elected well we will be there to help you though just the same. Everybody should visit Brother Watkins on 10th street, for he is a business man. Bro. Lewis will be the next Dis- trict secretary, a good man to build up our UD. F.,by electing five good officers, men who are with the rank and file of this great order. . NEW YORK NOTES. C. W. Harden has been elected President of the colored democratic clubs of the 25th Assembly district At a meeting held last week the nomination of Cleveland and Thur- man was indorsed and the best ef- forts of the club pledged to their support. The Southern Beneficial League of this city, have a split as the result of their annual election of officers. Now there are two sets of officers fighting through the Supreme Court. for the settlement of their regularity, with the odds in favor of whatis known as the Barguet or Virginia faction, who have possession of the charter, bang-books and the roll book. The Iarrot faction who reelected themselves, claim to have the majority of the membership with them. Geo. Smith, messenger of the Representative State Committee, and Col. Perry Carson, of Wash- ington, members of the National representative committee, are in the city making arrangements for furnishing the mourning for the funeral of Harrison and Morton, which is put down for November next, At the County Democracy rati- fication meeting at the Academy of Music, on June 28, during the speech of Congressman McAdoo, of N.J., the colored democrats of the 11th Assembly District, march- ed into the hall ina body numbering about 50 men. Their entrance created a perfect scene, the house raised as if by magic and welcom- ed them with three hearty cheers, the speaker paused in his address and said that he welcomed them to the hall and to the party and that their presence was proof of the statement he made in his ad- dress that the working men were in favor of the reelection of the nom- inees of the St. Louis convention. The conference of the A. M. E. church at Albany, last week, was marked by much excitement for many surprises, one of which was the death of the wife of Rev. Dardis, and another the appoint- meut of a minister from New Or- leans, as pastor of Bethel church in this city. Mrs. Helen Stratton died at her home on W. 30th street, on Sunday morning at 11 o’clock. Sbe was formally an Albanian and had been an invalid for nearly a year. She was a member of the Household af Ruth and kind hands of sisters of the order took charge of her barial. She leaves a husband and a little boy about seven years old. She was only 28 years old and was of a kindly disposition and notable for her devotion to others in distress, The Cuban Giants have beat the New Yorks four games out of five and are now the champions of the world, so to speak. Harry Hill and Ralph Langston proposed to take charge of the col- ored Republicans in this State, this fall. Bill Johnson, Tom Brown, Caleb Simms, Dan Morrison and others to the contrary, not withstanding. These kicks all help the Cleveland and Thurman ticket. ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY NOTES, E.J. Emory, No. 3 Fox’s ave. Agent and Correspondent. Sunday, at Zion A. M. E. church was @ quarterly meeting. Presid- ing elder Bradly conducted the services. The contribution amount- ed to $14.40. In the afternoon Rev. J. H. Hamilton of the Bethel Bap- tist church, of Penn., preached the sermon. Rev. P. W. Matthews of the Baltimore Zion connection also delivered an address. Elder Brad- ly of Camdem, preached in the morning and laid the foundation that his comrades might build upon. All three of our types of the living God, did justice to tueir finely selected texts. The collectin during the day amounted to $72.00. The Love-feast was continued un- til Monday, July 9th, which was enjoyed by all. Mr. Sawyer stated that the or- dinance had not been regularly published, and to pass it before it was printed, looked too much like railroadiug. He moved that itbe laid over until the next meeting of the Council, Monday July 16. Mr, Groff moved that the ordinance be passed at once or voted down. Mr Sawyers motion prevailed. Coun- cil then adjourned. Mr. Johnson is doing a spiendid business at his restaurant, 304 Kentuckey ave. The hot weather came during the past week and so did a great many Summer visitors. Hundreds sought relief from the hot wave by coming down here, and as train af- ter train arrived, the hotel registor tells its own story. All the hotels are open and in the words of the hotel men ‘‘they are blooming” The concert given at the Glass payilion for the benefit of Asbury M, E. church, was a grand affair. Among the participants were, Miss- es M. V. Hall, A. M. Lee, Messrs George Valintine, W. I. Powell, Miss Eliza Wilson and Madam Forster. There were two grand marches led by Mr. George Lewis and Mrs. V. Brown of Washington. Among the attendands were, Miss Ione Wood, Mrs. Geo. W. Milby, of Washington, Mrs. M. F. Fleteh- er, Miss L. Clinton, Mrs. C. C. Car- roll, Miss Fannie Parker and many others. On Friday July 6th, there was a special meeting of the council eall- ed for at 7:30 p. m. but did aot con- vene until 8:30. The delay was caused by a lively discussion of the Raiiroad ordinance, which the com- pany was so anxiousto rush through. Gen. Sewell had been in this city several days and given his orders to his lieutenants who were on hand to represent him. The people were also represented and it was evident that a majority of the Council were disposed to go slow in so important a matter. The reading of the minutes were laid over. Mr. Groff called for the third final reading of the ordinance to give the privilege of laying the switch from Atlantic ave. The Building association should be the brightest star that shines in the minds of the citizens of this city. More real estate is owned in this city by people of moderate means than by any other class of people. It would be one of the best steps that our rapid euter prising race ever undertook, were they to bring together their earn- ings and hold a meeting to form a Building association. This would enable the association to buy land to the amount of $50.00 a lot, 100 feet by 60. A great demand for a place to hold entertainments, is being made every week. There are seven or more secret societies here that would no doubt be proud ofa building that would accommodate from 500 to 1000 per- sons on one floor. If there be two stories on the bullding it would al- low more amus« ments at the same time. The demand would be so great that it would be wise to add all the necessary arrangements and conveniances as possible. The colored people are increas- ing here every year. About four years ago there were about fifty voters in the city, now there are three hundred or more out of which two thirds of them aro attached to a society. Sunday the Haverlows dining Toom was crowded with some of the most prominent citizens of Phila- delphia. Among the guest were, Mr. W. L. Underwood, J. Myers, J. Smith, G. Massey, G. Covington, J. R. Chambers, N. H. Rodgers, of Phila., and many others. DR. W- S. LOFTON, DENTIST, OFFICE 1543 M St., N. W. Washington D. C MOOR’S WESTERN MOPS. Why not a man save his motey, when he can?
