The large autitorium of the Met ropolitan church, was well filled ‘ast Sunday afternoon, and expres- Sions of delight at the very credita- ble programme rendered, were heard on all sides; those who were Bot present really missed a treat. Among the selections that deserve special mention, were “The Maniac” rendered by Miss Baum who gave an excellent representation of the reality; a solo, by Miss Julia Bush, and an excellent selection in quar- tette, by Misses Banner, Payne and Messrs. Walker and Edwards of the Shiloh Baptist choir. Mr. %.B. Hunter, the Superin tendent of the Sunday School, an- nounced that there would be 8pe- cial attractions for each Sunday, it being the intention of the managers to have each church in the District represented on ‘the programme, on different occasions. Miss Ella Free- man will declaim next Sunday, aud a solo by Mrs. lrene Jones, and a School, will be among the other attractions. Mr. J. Henry Lewis is the chorister, and the selections rendered by the school were especi- ally brigit, sparkling aud well rendered. ——— ema PERSONALS. Mr. J. C. Williams, of N, C., is in the city. Hon. H.

In India ailks, the most fashiona- ble isa black ground with celorea figures. French modistes are making dress skirts closely gored in front and on the sides with a bias back arrang- ed in a new way that gives stylish scantness at the top and great breadth at the foot. x Black lace and tulle fronts for evening dress skirts are peculiarly tempting this season. A new class of guipure lace closely allied to Chantilly, has been mounted successful over helotrope silk, with a black and heliotrope brocaded train. A most beautiful tea gown in dull peach had portions of the black worked in gold and peach cord on rich white Bengaline. Plaine faille and chiffon are much the fashion for young girls evening gowns. A pretty set of bridesmaid dress es in white cloth was bordered at the hem with a wide silver galloon, and a natrower one edged the long coat, the flaps and the gauntlet cuffs, as wellas the double caper, which were a stylish addition. pretty apron for morning wear Fons be aden out of white linen, with roses or other flowers cut out flowered sateen, and tacked on | lightly. articularly pretty apron is ale of brown holland and trimm- ed with bands of turquois blue; sateen flowered with moon daisies, which are put on in straight length. item that should be remem~ Ror} ry the use of a little ruffle of silk at the edge of the eee skirt, to break the hard line w ee the straight, plain skirts now mal e at the edge. ee PROPER BRIDAL ETIQUETTE. There are many little things about weddings that people inquire about, says Ths Ladies’ Home | Journal. The bride writes a personal note of thanks for every gift received, whether it be a great oneor a little one, and,if she cannot do this before the ceremony, she does it after the bridal trip. In the} church the bridegrooms family and friends sit a the right hand of the altar being on the bride groow’s right hand, while those of the bride are placed on the left. The bridegroom does not pay for anything connected with the wedding unless be should chose to send boquets to the bridemaids and, of course, to the bride, and! presents and boutonnieres to his best man and the ushers. A widow removes her first weddiag fing at her second marriage, and does not assume it again. The engagement ring is taken from the third finger of the left hand and worn after- wards as a guard to the wedding ting. It is not considered good | taste to cut the finger out of the} glove for assuming the ring. > PROF. J. M, GREGORY EXON. ERATED. | THE COMMISSIONERS FIND NOTHING CRIMINAL IN HIS. ACTION, AND THEN HE, RETIRES FROM THE BOARD, Some time ago Prof. J. M. Greg- ory was hounded nearly to death by a set of men who were too cor- rupt to walk straight ia the day tima. All kinds of rumors were circulated against him which tend- ed to prejudice the public against him an? knowing as he did | that be bad committed no criminal offense he demanded an _investiga- tion. The investigation was held in the Franklin building and every effort mas made by a smelling com mittee that could not stand the reflection of a calcium light forty miles. Some members of this com- mittee had been removed from the school board for corruption, while some others made themselves too free with teachers in the public schools. This is the committee that investigated Prof. Gregory and after a thorough investigation by this same committee and the evi- dence submitted to the Commission- ers, they unqaalifiedly exonerated Prof. Gregory of the charges and he thereupdn tendered bis resignation. Jas. Monroe Gregory is one of the best educated young men in| this country. Hes to-day one of the most prominent and progressive Negroes in fhe race. He is authority on all questions of education per taining tothe colored race. He is an eye sore to older members of the }- race and it was on account of their jealousy and prejudice against bim as arising young man, that caused these charges to be made against him. AN EASY METHOD TO BE DIVORCED. A fussy woman. Listen to eyery lie a mischievous woman or man tells either husband or wife. Let the wife tell -her husband that he must not walk with ladies on the street. Old friends especial- ly. Tell bim thatall of his associates are no good, Let the wife continually tqll ber husband that he is a brute. Make home a hades the moment he enters. Tell him that Mrs. N, or Miss S, informed you that be was see. on the street, at a ball or a picnic with Miss P, or Mrs. J, when in fact you were at the club. Tell your wife that she is too extravagant. Ask her what she did with the ten dollars that you gave her two months ago, out of your salary to purchase shoes for five children, pay the grocery and coal bills. Tell her hereafter that she must do her own washing, especially when she is too sick to walk. Tell your husband that he mar- ried you for what he thought that he would get, when in fact you never had anything for him to get. Abuse him the more when you | are living in the bouse left him by | his father and motber. Follow these rules and if the court refuses to grant you a divorce call and subscribe for the Bzx. lemale Any woman who lives in the country, and who is not to stout, should be able to mount a horse from the ground unaided, writes Carl A, Nyegaard in the Ladies Home Journsl. [f she attains to be any- thing of an equestrienne she should require no more assistance than a man, though she is handicapped a little by reason of her skirt. she should lower right shoulder foward, spring lightly from her rfght foot and swing her self into the saddle, Once there, she should take her oo" out of the stirrup, place her right thigh in its proper position above the pommel and adjust her dress. The stirrup is shortened from the right side by pulling up the strap again.A good dancer will soon learn to mount. NEW YORK NOTES. Mrs. Geo. Johnson and two children of Washington, D.
