The 8th District Republicans met at the residence of Mr. Jobn H. West, on last Thursday evening forthe purpose of organizing a Harrison and Morton Auxiliary tepublican Club.

Strather was elected president; Strather Pynre, vice- president ; Mr. James Green, sec- retary; Mr, John H. Wes’, treasu- er; and Mr. A. Jackson, sergeant- at-arms. A resolution was aflopted favor- ing primary elections and urging all republicans in the district to join the club.

Some | ladicrous enough to make a corpse laugh, and others interesting. Ww hat brought this upin my mind 18 this: In reading the “Gazette” this week there was found an out- line of the remarks of Ex-Lieuten- ant Governor Pinchback at the ~erwherpi Southern Exposition at aleigh recently, among which his excellency expressed himself su- prised at the progress the Negroes of North Carolina bad made in all that tends to elevate themselves as @ people. In fact, if correctly reported, Mr Pinchback acknowl- edged that the audience which he was addressing was composed of Tefined ladies and gentlemen, so much so that he was surprised ! Asa North Carolina Negro, bred and brn inthe city where our people were so bighly praised for their enterprising energies shown to that extent as to extort such commendation from so exalted source, even I, though humble as limes go, am glad to learn that so distinguished # gentleman as the Ex-Lieutenant Governor of Louisi- ana was present with our people on the occasion named ; and so grati- fied that lam emboldened to ask ifa lessou was learned from the Negroes of North Carolina, so thoroughly that color is no pass- port among tke intelligent people of our State? Was it not seen that Mr. J. C. Price and Hon. J.S. Leary, opposite, in color as well as many others, were looked upon as the intellectual peers of any other | geutlemen in deportment , respect- \ ability and politeness, all indicat- jiag the true gentleman? What impelled these thoughts to revolve in my mind isthis: Having had the honor of knowing Mr. Pinch- { back, (not intimately) asa bold and fearless leader of the Negro as far baek as early in the 70’s; and as the recipient of his manificent hospitality in New Orleans ex- tended to the delegates to the Na- tional Convention of colored men held in April 1872 in the crescent city of which I waschosen 2nd vice-president; Mr. Ingraham 1st and Mr. Douglass President, although, I have seen and met Mr. Pinchback twice on the 11th street cars recently though chaaged since I first saw him, be was recognized at once as he entered the cars, the same daring idol of the Negroes of Louisiana and in fact where ever known? LIanswered the question in my mind that Mr. Pinchback was afflicted with “colorphobia,” so prevalent among the light colored aristocracy of this city, bad proved so viralent in his case as to cause blindness and forgetfulness to that extent that I hope his visit to Raleigh, (where the disease in anuknown) will be so beneficial as to eradicate every symptom of the dire distemper from his optics so that he cansee as clearly as the brave Pinchback of yore. There are many things seen by me eyery week day so that an observant eye has av opportunity to juége of the trae inwardness of those riding daily on the “Belt Line Cars.’ *sQuantum” ¢or this week “‘saffict.” W.V.T. DwATHS, Dr. ©. M. Hammett, Health Officer, presents the following re- port for week ending November 14, 1891. Number of deaths 95; white 59; colored 36. Death rate per [,000 per annum white 18.0; colored 284 Total population 19.7, 29 were ander five years of age, 20 were onder one year old,* and 18 over 60 years. 18 of the deaths occur- red 1n hospitals and public insti- | jj tutions. The. deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotic 17, Con stitutional 23, Local 38; Develop mental 10, Violence 7. The prin- cipal causes of death were: Croup 1, Diphtheria 6; Consumption 15; Diarrboel 2; Typhoid Fever 4. Malarial Fever 1; Pneumonia 4; Congestion of the Luags 1; Bron- chitis 3; Whooping Cough 2, Kid- aey Diseases 6; Meningitis 1. Births reported: 19 white males; 24 white females; 14 colored males 20 colored females. Marriages reported: 26 white; 4 colored, : Still-births reporied: 2 white; 4 colored. : The deaths for the week ending on Saturday last were 95 a8 com- red with 125 the previous week. | This reduction of 30 in the num- ber of deaths is equal to 24 per cent. The decrease is maivly due to the fulling off of lung and kid- ney cases, although there is shown by the returvs an improvement io the health of the whole city through all the I'-t of ailments. Diphtheria still prevails in the localities heretore infested with this malady. Six deaths occurred during the week therefrom, con- fined wholly to the western part be) of the city. Seven violent death were reported, of which threes were accidental and two by infan- ticid. There was reported an- other fatal caseof Grippe which had its origin in the epidemic of last spring, and which terminated in plumonary consumption. Al- together the week’s report is very favorable and indicates an excei. lent condition of health through out the District. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE, District republicans recognized. Men who boast of their houesty act accordingly. Another newspaper sell its edi- torial columns for $14.50. Harrison renominated by accla- mation. More backbone to some of our public officials. The right of suffrage restored to the people. Discrimination eliminated in pablic inns. A few colored republican ap- pointed ‘in the Marshals office. A solid delegation from the Dis- trict of Columbia for Harrison. Colored restaurant keepers get their licenses. Jessie K. Roy a sporting editor. Bob Brown on top once ore. Men who object to whiskey licenses above suspicion. Men who sign protest against the sale of liquor morally straight. WEST WASHINGTON NOTES. The old folks concert that was given by the Willing Workers club of the 19th Street Baptist Chureb, on Monday evening last, at the above named church was a very successful affair. The little church at Rosslyn, Va., was crowded to an overflowing Thursday evening, the occasion be- ing a musical soiree given by the pupils of Rosslyn public school. The book reception given by Mt. Zion M. E. sehoolon Tuesday eyening last was largely attended and the exercises highly interesting which consisted of music recita- tions ete. The Sunday School Union held its last quarterly anniversary Sunday afternoon at the First Baptist church. The reports of the several schools showed an in- crease of membership. —————-+.-___ PERSONALS. Mr. and Mrs. Robt. H. Terrel arrived in town this week. Hon. B.

In Paris smart women wear pats nt-leather pumps for all house and carriage occasions. The heels are flat; cut low, bound with silk and finished with a tiny bow. Cosiesare made of fawn-colored satin in their latest style, and show sprays of red clo- ver grasses and love knots in white outlined with dark red. ; Oda coins, whether genuine or not, are of the present “fads” and are worn on’ chains with belts, on bracelets, on shoe—tows, hat pins, brooches and bangles For chairback protectors a new material. called Cyprus canvas, is now in use, and has row of linen lave embroidered w'th gold set in, the border of ths “protector,” being in plush ofa golden rod tint. The variety of boas seems unending, as not only lace and feathers but loops of metal rib- bon, satin ribbon, puffings of gauze, and of chiffon, big loops of narrow velvet ribbon, as well as wide silk ribbon witha brocaded de- sign, and swan's-down are all used for this pretty and becoming article, Lace and passementeries are higbly in fa- vor. The most elegant jacketsare made en- tlrely of passementerie without lining or trim ming, excepting a flot of ribbon which comes fromakind of revers,forming a pocketon the hips. Skirts have increased in length —trailing, in fact—and have plain frents and sides. Un- derskirts are no longer used, bat the dress itseif is lined witn silk or other material. The coat bodice is a great favorite and one so capable of variation that it will be worn for some time to come. One of the shapes not very geneyal, has long »asqves cut in one with the jacket part and the back drawn in like a gentleman’s waistcoat by a strap and buckle. Basques are fashionable of every shape, whether plain, pleated, or diyided in deep tabs. The latest novelty in the way of mantels is the return to the graceful Talmas. These are very deep capes, cut on the cross, and clever ly arranged to fall into natural’ folds, and, though perfectly plain on the suoulders, they are about five yards long at the lower part, and can be thrown back over the shoulder.

C. | THE BELL’S BIG MONOPOLY. | Expiration of Great Telephone Patents Does Not Affect It. The principal bell telephone patent ex- pires next year, but the Bell Company has secured so many patents for improve- ments that it expects to hold its monop- oly for another long term of years. It | will be greatly aided in this by a decision which is expected from the Patent Office next week. In the interference case of Drawbaugh, Edison, and Berliner over the telephone transmitter patent which it is claimed the Bell Company has kept in interfer- |~ ence for 14 years, in order to perpetuate its monopoly, Drawbaugh’s claim has been rejected entirely and the decision of the Commissioner of Patents will be in favor of either Edison or Berliner. The Bell Company does not care which it is, for it owns by assignments the in- terests of both Edison and Berliner, and will get the benefit of the 17 year patent. Late News Briefs. Mayor Grant, of New York, has started for Europe. Charleston (S. C.) negro churches are collecting a fund for the defense of 10 murderers. Secretary Blaine and Tracy are nettled by the comments of English papers upon the Chilian trouble. : An autopsy, at Bridgeton, Conn., on a Koch's lymph consumptive patient, dis- closed no trace of healing effect. The net receipts of the Illinois Central for the past year were $1,280,609, an in- crease of $98,975 over the previous year. The Washington (D. C.) encampmeiit™ of the G. A. R. promises to eclipse ali predecessors in the number of visitors. Pennsylvania Senate’s Extra Session. The extra session of the Pennsylvania senate, called by Governor Pattison tc consider charges against the State treas- urer and auditor general, has come to anend. A resolution was adopted by a strict party vote declaring the offences charged to be misdemeanors and that the senate had no jurisdiction to try them. A large batch of nominations made by the Governorsince the adjournment of the legislature was named and confirmed without opposition, except in the ca of a few notaries up the State, which were laid over at the request of the sen- ators from those counties. The commit- tee appointed to wait on the Governor having reported that he had no further busivess the senate was adjourned sine die. $ Anarchy Reigns in Brazil. Dispatches from Brazil by way of Lon- don report the revolt of the important provinces of Rio Grande do Sol and Grav Para, and general unrest under the mili- tary rule of Dictator Fonseca. The dicta- tor has muzzled the press and suppresses all news not favorable to his cause. Admiral Mello, a strong republi- can, has protested against any change in the form of government. All at- tempts to hold meetings are frustrated. The chambers were dissolved forcibly, It is alleged that President Da Fouseca intends to reduce the number of deputies to 180. Receiver for the Poughkeepsie Bridge. An action has been started by Watson Van Benthuysen for a majority of the bondholders of the Poughkeepsie Bridge Company to @nforce a foreclosure of the mortgages and also to secure the appoint- ment of a receiver and the reorganization of the company, An application was made before the supreme court in Pough- keepsie for an order giving permission to serve the Fidelity Trust Company, of Philadelphia, which holds the mortgagee on the bridge and connec mm railroads, by publication. — Bandit Garza’s Escape. A dispatch from Rio Grande Oity, Tex., states that it is now defi- nitely settled that Garza, the Mexi- can bandit, has escaped to Central America. He worked his way to the coast and thence took passage. He in- formed his followers that he would never again be seen in Mexico or the United States. Garza is a manof restless and daring spirit. He leaves a beautiful and wealthy wife behind him. Bering Sea Arbitration. In the trial of the Sayward case, now before the Supreme Court at Washipg- ton, Attorney General Miller, speaking as a cabinet officer, announced that the correspondence between the United States and Great Britain had resulted in an agreement to arbitrate the Bering Sex controversy. It is stated at the State De- partment that the terms of arbitration have not yet been agreed upon. Free Coinage Losing Ground. A Washington dispatch says the free coinage cause has been losing ground se fast that it begins to be doubtful if itean muster a bare majority of the new House of Representatives. The latest recruits to the anti-free coinage side are the three Democratic members from Minnesota, the solid Democratic delegation from Wisconsin, and the majority of the i4 Democratic members from Ohio. New York’s Legislature. Both parties in New York still claim control of the legislature. The Demo- crats claim the senate to be a tie, with the deciding vote in the hands of the lieutenant governor, a Democrat. They claim the assembly to be Democratic by two. The Republicans still claim the legislature in both branches. Snow and Rain. Heavy storms of rain and snow have prevailed throughout the entire North west. Two inches of snow fell at St. Paul, Minn., and heavy snows fell throughout Colorado, Dakota, and Ore- gon, accompanied by heavy winds and in tense cold. Emperor Joseph Looks for Peace. Emperor Francis Joseph, in acldressing the presidents of the Austro-Hungarian delegations, expressed the belief that Eu- rope would not soon be embroiled in war, see Geslidge HARNESS ATTACHMENT Patented NoveMBER 137TH, 1888. kind ever put on the market.

Coolidges Harness attachment is the best thing of the is so arranged that any one can minutes, without cutting th same in any way, right out in the street. It can be taken off th harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its forme style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hiteh ing and unbitching as a horse can be attached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extricated in less than 5 seconds. lt is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is re movable secured so as to allow wora. The particular advantage the spring to be removed when this device possesses over oth- ers Consists in the construction of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as has been heretofore necessary in order to use devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines be ing connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unmanageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the piate 16 a- side and release the animal trom the vehicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unhitch a horse without the slightest trouble. Thousands of the attachments are being used every day. SPORTING CHIPS. Four noted colored singers are at the Academy of Music this week with the Alabama Company. They are the Columbia Quartett and have been enthusiastically received throughout the South, where they were showing before their engage- ment here. They are composed as follows: Fred Van Brunt, leader; Alex. McKinzie, tenor, J. A. Porter, baritone; W. M. Mack, bass. From a sporting standpoint our city is a dismal failure nothing oc— cuing but a few foot-ball games to dissipate the eternal sameness which is everywhere ap- parent. Tom McIntosi ‘the leading com- edian of bis race” is also bere. He has b3en at Kernans Lyceum Thea- tre all the week with Whalen and Martells Varieties. Tem is as irri- pressibly comical as of yore, his humorous deliveatious and grotes= que gorations are entirely original and keeps his audience in a roar all the time. He is without ques- tion the best and most reliable comedian we have, Geo. Dixon the world champion pugilist bas a show on the road and is playing to uniformly good houses. They were at Harry Min- ers, N, Y., last week and George had out his usual defi. Itis un- necessary to add that he beat all comers. The races have come and gone and there are several of the boys stillin town; itis not however, because they havn’t “get-away” stakes. That would be too bad, The fearful tragedies that have occured in thecity recently the cause of which can be. directly charged to the vicious game of “crap” is a powerful incentive to urge the authorities to prompt and vigious ineasure to suppress it. It is the most dastardly and ruinous game ever devised and the normin al fine of fiv edoliars is vot large enough to have the desired effect in stamping it out. Give it to them stronger, Base Ball bas spent its force and now its more vigorous though less skilifull success---foot-ball is all the rage from one end of the couutry to the other. Negotiations have been going on looking forward to a pugilist con- test between Peter Jackson and Frank P. Slavin, bat tomy mind there isa rattling chance of them failing for the evident reason that none of the big fellows wish to fight unless they are allowed to pick their man, Peter Jackson be- ing their noteworthy exception to this rule. He is avxious fora go with any one. Harris Martin (Black Pearl) who by the way is a Washingtonian by birth, is slowly but surely fighting his way to the front, bis latest stip in that direction being his signal defeat of Paddy Gorman. Give him a chance and he will bustle the leaders for first honors in the mid- dle-weight division. The boxiug entertainment for which there are only colored com= petitors will show two chinese entrees. They will undoubtedly provide a novel and amusing show.
