HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS This talented lady as will be seen by an advertisement in these colums is to appear as Parthenia; in the five act play of Ingomar to be presented at Grand Armory Hall May 16th and 17th. Extraor- dinary efforts have been put forth by the manager to make the affair alike to the city of Washington and the distinguished artists who are to interpret the play. Miss Dav- is needs no comment at our hands, she is well known to Washington pleasure seekers, to bespeak for her a crowded house on both nights and assure our many readers that they will be amply repaid, by a visit to Grand Armory Hall on this occasion. We are informed that many of our best citizens, in- eluding Senators aud members of Congress Commissioner Weeb Mrs. Senator Heerst and others no less distinguished have purchased tick- ets and have signified their inten- tion to be present. Thesale of tickets | thus far is very encouraging quali- fyingly, so Miss Davis is preparing to give Washingtonians a genuine surprise, Let every lover of the race encourage and sustain this brave young,ywoman who is doing so much ward the elevation of her race in her chosen profession. John Boyle O’Reilly of the Boston Pi- lot pays a glowing compliment. Scores of leading journalsin the country speak in the most flatter- ing terms of her ability as an elo- cutionist and actress, “Let it not be said that she came to her own, and her own received ber not” but give ber a rousing hearty welcome back to her native home. Tickets are on sale at Ellis music store on Pa. ave., near 10th st. Sena THE FREEDMANS HOSPITAL. There is a scramble for Surgeon in charge of the Frecdmens Hospi- tal. The applicants want Dr. Purvis removed. When asked by a BEE representative why they wanted Dr. Purvis removed, they could not state except that they wanted his place. The general impression 1s that there will be no charge at the Hospital, and if there is a change itis said, Dr. Daniel Williams, the eminent Surgeon of Chicago, Ill. will be appointed. Dr. Williams does’nt waut the place, but the Sec- retary of Agriculture, Mr. Rusk, says, 1f he wants it he shall receive bis support for it. Dr. Williams who is friendly to Drs. Purvis and Shadd would no doubt decline the position on that account. If the Secretaty of the Interior, however decides to make a change, Dr. Wil- liams’ friends will urge his eppoint- ment, very mnch against his will. Dr. A. T. Augusta is being sup- ported by Rev. Dr. W. B. Derrick of New York, Charles and Lewis Douglass and others. The opposers of Dr Augusta say that he is incompetent to run the institution ; that he could not fill the chair, be held sometime ago in the Medical department, and it is not natural that he would be ap- pointed Surgeon in charge of the Hospital. Dr. Cook is not a candidate. Dr, Francis favors Dr. Augusta. Dr. S. R. Wats would not object to being one of the Professors in the medical department. He is liked by the entire community. DISCRIMINATION IN THECOLOR- ED sCHOOL ATEACHER CHARGED WITH FAVOR ITISM. It is charged upon good and reliable authority that a teacher in the Maugruder building discriminates between dark and light complexted chilér-v. The pupils iu the -cheol of which she ig teacher op: nly cwarge the teacher with favoritism. It is | said gthat because certain children are darker in complexion they are not treated with the same degree of respect and con- sideration as the chit/ren who are lighter in complexion. If this charge is true the local | there are any who desire to learn | printiig business aa opportunity will | be gven | between the hours of 9and 12 o'clock. trusee of that division should puta stop to it immediately, The parents of these children are very indignant over this dis- crimination. If there are any teachers in the public schools who refuse to teach a child because she is black she is not fit to teach and should be removed immediately —_——or> THEY SAY It is natural for men to squea! when they are pinched. James A. Perry is considered to be one of the finest drilled officers ia the city. Don’t forget the Stewarts testi- monial to the Junior Excelsiors May 30th. No man is dishonest, until has been proven so. Hon. Wm. E. Chandler, will be returned to the Senate. Go and see Miss Davis at Grand Army hall next week, May 16 and 17th. Spellman of Mississippi has been appointed. 6 Senator Bruce is getting in his work. The schools should be reoganized. Never charge a man with dis- honesty until you are assured. It is no crime to defend the inno- cent, who is charge with crime, Great men will do great things, Some men are great in their own mind. Conceit is a dangerious thing. All is well that ends well. Negro democrats are being dis- charged, but a very few white ones. Why discriminate? No man knows his greatness un- til it is tried Heis great that does great things. All things are good when they tend to do good. Corporal Tanner says that the soldier must be cared for first. There is buta little chance for those who have never beenin battle. If the soldier can elect a presi- dent without those who have never been one, then the soldier should be given the preference. The tenth rule of the Civil ser- yice should be abolished, Thisis a political government, hence the politicians should be cared for. President Harrison will not be bound by the laws of his predeces- sor. He is strong in the hearts of his country men. Senator Sherman will return in September. Anew school of politicians will come to the front. The ancient school will be rele- gated to the rear. Give the President a chance. All of the offices are not filled yet. Let the government be organized. Genl. Smalls will be com mission ed. The Cusion fish of South Coroli- na will not be seated. He has more wind than he has sense. Cheatham of North Carolina is doing the handsome thing towards his constiuents. He is the man to support. Let all honest men be on the alert. 8 NOTICE.
