The colored Masonic ball M st. between 16th and 17th sts., n. w. is an honor to that orgavization Articles of incorporation were filed Wednesday by the Musonic Hall Building Association of Washington, D. C., with the fol- lowing as incorpotarors: Dr. Ar- thur W. Tancil, William, I. Myers, Dr, Samuel Kk. Watts, Charles H. Lemos, Richard H. Gleaves, Leonard C. Builey, Henry Coleman. Thornton A, Jackson, Charles Stevenson, Sam uel H. West, Lewis H. Wayne, William H. Severeon, John N. Hunt, Frank H. Cozzcns, and Robert H. Ford. The capital stock is stated to be $25,000, in shares of $10 each, of which $9000 are already subscribed. The above-named purties were members of the principal lodges of colored Masous of the District and the step taken Wednesday is the culmination of etfortsin thai directicn which began last De- cember during the aunua! session of the supreme grand lodge of the District. The original plan has been deviated from somewhat. The evterprise, instead of be ing undertaken by the lodges, is now in hands of a purely business organization; no stock, however, can be held by others not members of those lodges, ot which there are eleven. The association has already pur chased what is known as “Naval Hall,” on the corner of Fith street and Virginia avenue southeast, until now used as a meeting place by anumber of Masonic lodges composed of white residents, The price agreed upon is under stood to be $15, 000. “We ure starting out with excel lent prospects,” said Dr. Watts, the president of the association, to the Post reporter Wednesday. “The sum of $160 in monthly ren tals is already secured to, us, and with judicious fimaucial manage ment we are bound to be success: al.” ‘ The officers of the assocation are: 8, Roger Watts,M.

The food question 16 often a serious one to the country house keeper, writes Maria Parloa in a valuable article on “Housekeeping in the Country,” in the July Ledies Home Journal. It is usvally within her power to geta good supply of fresh vegetables, milk butter and eggs, bnt one cannot be sure of even these things unless they are pzoduced on one’s own farm, If the housekeeper \Io milk-rooms and other :coms where food is kept set dishes of charcoal. If poultry or birds are to be hung in a cool room for a few days remove the internzl or gans and partially fill the bodv with charcoal, Now wrap the birds in paper and hang up. If the outside of the poultry is rubbed with black pepper, before being covered with the paper, it will be still farther protected from __filies. livers, kidneys, sweetbreads etc., may be wrapped in paraffine paperand then be buried in a bed of charcoal For keeping large pieces of meat and poultry here is a simpie device: Have a large barrel or hogshead half- filled with charcoal Put meat hoods on a strip of joist and place across the top of the barrel Have a vetting to spread over this, This barrel may be keptin a cnol pluce and pieces of meat he hung ca the hooks. The charcoal keeps the atmosphere dry and sweet, and the netting will be a protec- tion against insects. Should there be danger from rats or mice use wire netting. Fresh fish may be rubbed with salt, weapped iv paper aud — bur- ted in a bed of chareval. Ot course the charcoal iu the boxes and bsrrels shou!d be chan ged at least, once a mouth, It can be used tor lighting fires or for broiling meatsor fish. If hcwever, it is difficult to get a good supply of charcoal the old can be purified by puting it in the stove witha few lighied chips and allowed 1 to burn until red hot. At this stage open all the windows, to let the gas pass off, then close the draughts of the stove, remove the covers and jeave the room. When the charcoal becomes cold it will be ready for use again. If there is any question as to the purity of the water none of it should be used for drinking or cooking purpose~ unless itis first boiled. ‘There are several other methods of purifying water, but boiling is the safest of all. When water is tainted by decaying vege table matter several methods are used to parify it. It may be boil ed, or filtered through charcoal, or oak chips or a little alam may be added. The addition ot the estringent wood or the alum causes the albuminous matter in the water to coagulate and tall to the bottom and the purified water can be poured off. i A WONDERFUL CHANGE, If the prophets prior to recon struction had said that there would, in the course of human events, be colored democrats the consterna tion of the republican party would have been greater than it was at the time Mr. Cleveland nomina ted James C. Matthews for recor der of deeds in ‘89. No appointment was more start- ling to the repulicau senate thau Matthews of Albany. Of course there are democrats in this administration who are hard to convince that there are negro democrats, There has been a wonderful change so much, that the adminis tration, it is reported bas said color ed demecrats will be saustied with Mr. Cleveland. WORK OF SERGEANT DAILY, Sergeant John C. Daily and his men deserve the thanks of the citizens of south Washington tor breaking up disreputable dives in that commuopity. .If there were more of just such men, on the po. jice force, the city of Washington would be in a healthy condition, Sergeant Daily is one the most efficient officers on the Metropol itan police torce and is more en- titled to promotion than many who hold higher positions than he does now. The police department is in need of just such a man at its head, One does not cater to the prejud- ices of popularsentiment or the col or of a man’s skin, His name to evil doers in south must depend upon the market] washington is a terror and he cer- man’s cartfor ber meat supply, and she is without an ice house, she must resort to many expedi ents to provide her family with the necessary variety of animal food. The market-man muy bring fresh beef, lamb, veal, poultry, corned beef, salt pork. ton gue, and some fresh fish. If there is av ice-house on the place it is an easy matter to lay na supply which shall last until the next visit, but if not, other means must be used, Charcoal is of great value in keeping ice-chests, storerooms and food sweet.

There 1s nothing so detrimental to the colored people than bouses where crowds congregate and carry on 10secent and immoral acts. to Canvass fer Adver. & email] amount of Pat andincur no personal responsibili atthe nearest newspaperoffice and learnthat ours fs the best known end best equipped establich- ment for advertisements in newspapers end conveying advertisers the information ‘which they requirein order to make theirinvest- ments wisely and fitably.

McGee, ina letter, to one of the editors of the Evening News, speaks as follows: EpiToR EVENING News: As a negro Democrat [ find it necessary to express myself publicly as regards the recognition ct my race by the party. I have been re- peatedly annoyed by negro Republicans who seem to find pleasure and delight in commenting upon what they claim is com pletely ignoring the colored brother. Representing the younger. element of negro men identified with Democracy in the capacity of chairman of the Young Negro Men’s Tariff Refurm Association of the United States, 1 feel that it is my du- ty to give expression to my opinions. The negro vote, then, is a desideratum of great power and significance, It is also a fact, and an undeniable fact that in the last election the negroes show ed a preference, which seemed to many sanguine leaders like unto an accident. In States where the negro, on account of his color, was merely smiled at and left to vote the Republican ticket as a matter of course, the result was either in favor of Democracy or so smalla majority fer the Republicans that the Democrats are looking at these same States with a hopeful eye. These tacts being true it should follow, seems to me and to all other just avd honest men, that the nezro sheuld have had some recognition ere vow. These people worked hard, endured hardships. encountered rebuff, and ¢ sm and abuse merely for the su of the Dem- oeratic party, xnd after four months of Democratic rule the leaders of the party-- those who have the dispos tion of office: at their command-- stand by avd look up- on the negro with app unconcern. _In my opinion the entire administr: tion is opposed to the negro. ‘The s ‘Vere al members of the Cabinet are not disposed to give one of n audience, Their private rtir lew anybody to enter in the presence of the Secretory, but the nezro must teil this subdignitary his business, und he often attewpts to | s EDUCATIONAL a raining Sch:ol i : T= femal) nur-es.

With no desire to misrepre sent either, [ am of the opinion that Miss Mason and Prof. Layton made a mistake. There are times in the affairs of our life that we Imagine we own the people and they are our subjects. We think some times that we can do a wrong and the ;»eople will wink atit. Itis not so iu this city, There 1s no man who sténdy tigber in the estimation Of the peuple than Rev. Brooks 44d jt is not believed that he will do any one a wrong if be knows it Miss Mason didnot do the propet tying and as a woman who is supP9%e¢ te have a degree of intelligence owes au apology to that gentleman. Marriages. are in fashion now and the house hold is doing its share of it. Mar- riage isa divine institation, especi aily when the parties are congenial and understand each other. 1 see from the records of the Court that there have been 57 divorces granted from January J, to Juae 30, 93. People shoula know what they are duing before they tie to each otner for life. We think we love when we are courting for that reason I am in favor ot a sufficent duration, to be satisfied that it is real love and not fancy. Well there is to be a great celebra tiou 1 this city, As it is a white man’s celebration no negroes need apply.
