Medical experts, by the use of microscope, having recently discov- ered and classified specific living germs in the blood of all persons suffering from Malaria, and say that to cure the patient these germs must be killed. Thirty years ago Dr. Shallenberger advanced this theory as the correct one, and prepared his ‘Antidote tor Mala- ria” to destroy these poisonous germs. If you have Malaria in your system, a few doses of this medicine will destroy the poison immediately, and not injure an io- fant. Sold by druggists. ———— =. THE PRESS CONVENTION.

Douglass felt after reading Mahone’s talk? It was he who sent a letter intu the Fourth Virginia Congressiou- al district some months ago at the request of Mahone and his friends, which was intended to assist in de- feating Langston, our people’s Con gressivnal canidate in that district. Mabove was evidently fighting Langston for the very reasons giv en shorn, aud used Douglass as a tool. He will now doubtless at tempt to pound Douglass’ head with the same club, forthe “Sage of Anacostia” is, and has been tor years, a standing canidate for the “fattest “prominent position” like ly to be given a colored maa by a Republican adminstration. EBENEZER L ITERARY. In spite of the very~ inclement weather Sunday afternoon, [last] a very fair audience turned out to en- joy the treat furnisned by the Ebe - nezer Literary. The day had origin - ally peen set aside ¢8 Memorial day in which sevreal members were ex pected to eulog ze the deceased of the organization, but unhappily the eul gists were not ready, and the important entertainment gotten up by the committee on program | was creditabl2 to all concerned and apparently plevsing to the au- dience. Among the many liierary gems presented was a paper by Mr. W. H. Severson of the Iserul S. school entitled Civihzation and its Crimes”. ‘ihe paper contained erice to idleness beige especially opportue and forciable. Mr, Jessie K.

A week or 80 ago the Ber men- tioned a iew of the ladies who com- posed the Washington society and promised to give additional men- tions of others, which the Bre un- | dertakes to do. The ladies of our | society don’t do very much enter- taining There are several select | circles in the city and organiza- | tions of a literary na urethat give private sociables for the enjoyn ent | of each otber. Occasionelly Dr. Pur- vis entertains a few at his residence on 13th st. These sociables have been discontinued for the present. The colored society to a great ex: tent is composed of the teachers in the public schools. They form a some gems of thoughts the refer—| large portion of what is called Washingtons select society. There are some highly edncated and re- fined. There has been a great deal said concerning the society of this city but there cannot be fuund any where in the United States a more refined and cultured class of young ladies. Mrs, Brown of I street is among one of the oldest residents, then there are the Fishers. In days passed they were umong the rec ognized ladies of society and are now looked upon as being among the first of the colored society of this city. The Misses Jones of 12th st eet rauk among the first, the Syphax, Cornells, Francis, Lees of Georgetown and inthe northwest; The Riggolds, Chases, Lees of Cap- itol Hill, Costins, Bruces, Cooks, and a host of others are known throughout the country as belong- ing to the oldest and best known fumilies of this city. There are a few new commers who have, to an extent, injured the society, and that is ou accouut of the hospitality shown toward them by thesociety people of this city. There are sev~ eral young men who have conduct- ed themselves well since they have been here and have gained the confidence of the people. ODD FEELLOW ITEMS. The ladies of the Banner Club, Mrs. Jas. B. Lewell, president, will very soon complete their labors, The banner will be the finest in the city. The Grand Sec’y and his assist- ant will visit this city during In- auguration.

The oil and lamp light for street and alley improvement by the Dis- trict government or some company, which seems to be an experiment for the purpose of permauent use, makes very much of an improve- ment; but'the vessels that contain the oil are not large enough be- cause the Lamps are generally gone out before two o'clock, the very time at which they are mostly need- ed. \ The Ministers’ conference on Monday morning last was largely attended, including the theologi- cal students from Law’s Seminary. The Rev. Dr. Dudley, well known in this city and elsewhere, ad- dressed the conference upon the great importance of a statistical report of the Baptist denomination in this city, to be placed before the world by some proper method that mankind may know more fally the ability, development, and _pro- gress of the race through which de- nomination they can best know it. He paid high compliments for their large and intelligent congregations, magnificent church edifices, and ministers of widely acknowledged ability. The regular monthly conference of all denominations that is held on the 4th Monday morning of each month, convened a; the Metropol- itan A. M. E. Church, M st, with Rev. Dyson in the chair and Rev. G. M. Moore, secretary, where it was well attended and much _busi- ness transacted. There are nine theological stu- dents at the Law’s Seminary who are pursuing a regular course. There were seventeen ministers reported in atiendence at the communiau of the First Church on Sunday last; a majority of whom were on inspection for the new charge which is now vacant, On Tuesday morning last a call of the churches of Washington and Georgetown under the motto, «In union there is strength, iv division weakness,” signed by acommittee of tne Liberty Bap- tist church, including the pastor, for a convention to consider the propriety of having an old peo- ples home. A committee on ume and place met at the Law’s Semi- nary, 316 Hst. s, w., yesterday evening at 2 o’clock, aud decided that an ecclesiastical congress be held here on the 24,25 and 26th days of July, 1889, in the meet- ing house of the 4th Baptist church, embracing the arrsuge- menis for an old peoples’ home and the establishment of an insti-~ tution of learning with the theo- logical school attached, and a Baptist paper, for the geueral infusion of knowledge and relig- ious information for the denomi- nations. -The conference baving con— nected with it all of the Baptist churches, through their ministers, the ladies of the Liberty church, in order to avoid the weakness which is claimed in their circular, are most cordially invited to unite ith the general committee of ehetasmert when appointed. In order to avoid eo much fash-~ ion arising from folly, the m‘nis- ters of our churches would do wel- to teach their members and cou— gregation to employ colored un- dertakers for funerals, who sup- port colored churches, and stop white men from carrying all of the money out of colored churches who never contribute one dollar to our churches support. More faith in the race and Jess fashion from fully, give us a stronger race, richer churches, and better commuuities, The 3d Baptist church of this city, coutributes to the support of foreign missious, $10 every 5th Sunday. The ministry of today is not the ministry of 20 years ago; because the ministry of today deals more with men and meusur- es from a national point of view, and generally his merits; they praise one class and condemu the other. The communion will be served at the Fisrt Church, West Wash- ington; Nineteenth Street, Shiloh, Mt. Jezerel, and Israel Baptist churches, and Wesley Zion, Met- ropolitan A. M. EK, chuiches to morrow. During 1888, R. D. Young, one of Washingtons most success- ful undertakers, buried 156 bodies and collected $4045. Reports at the Baptist Min- isteis conference on Monday morning last, showed that revivals were going on iu nineteen charch- es. The Rev. S. J. R. Nelson, who was a year ago excluded from the Zion Baptist church and pastor of the Mt. Olive church, has now been dismissed, and the Rev. Wm. J, Robinson, its old and faithful pastor, has been recalled to the pastoruge. Rev. Joseph Matthews did not goto Arlington on last Sunday on account of the bad weather. Rev. 8. Alexander, of West Washington, who is often address ed as “father of our city ministry,” is a retired public servant of our government who rendered services 40 yeara, and is now a happy liver among the best citizens of West Washington and resides on Dunbarton ave. in his own resi- ‘dence of eleven rooms at a cost of $4000. Heis the pastor of the Hirst church of 900 members at a salary of $100 per month, with a handsome $20,000 meeting house all free of debt.
