Sati-faction guaranteed. What is the matter with the colored democrats? Some say they are on the fence. Negro Democrats Excited. Hon. James © Matthews, the leader of the colored dem crats was in the city last week which c u-ed a const r- naion amo g Astwood and Taylor faction which has heretofore been opposed te Mr. Matthews. — When a BEE representative stated to afew of the clan~ that Matthews was in town at Mrs. Motens’ r sidence where hewas stopping was beseiged. _ Mr. Matthews did not make his busi- ness known and : 0 one knows what his business at ths time was. The boys are guessing, while Mr. Matthews is a democrat he is a race man and 0: e whe is held in high esteem by the colored people of this country. Mrs. Anna Morris, the oldest daugh- ter of Mr. Nathan Sprague, o' this city died ~udden y at Ann Harbor, Mich, on Nov. llth °93. The news were received with mach grief by her numerous \ friends in this ety. The interment was made at Rochester, N. Y., where Mr. Sprague has a family burying lot. i a | ac ha iets rssh ie ear tthe een OPPOSED TO COLORED LADIES. A Wholesale Discharge in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing — The Kentucky Negro Hater. The new chief of the Bureau of Engravirg and Printing, Claud M. Johnson, of Kentucky, has made + olesale discharge f young colored girls who have passed successfully the civil se vice examinatio : and appointed in the Burra: on their merits. The new chief is from the hot bed of sesession, the sta e of Kentucky where they hang negroes if they dress better than the white peope. It is reported that whenever the new chief enters the press room where the young colored girls are employed he is thrown into a fit of anger because there are so many of them there an‘! because he wants to make room for incompetent white girls. His excuse is that he is compelled to reduce the force, but at the same time he makes a requisition to the civil ser- vice commission for more printers assis- tants and should they turn out to be colored 'e tells them that he is not quite ready f rthem. These are his methods to get rid of them. Within the last three weeks Johnsou has di-charged not less than from 25 to 30 w rthy and competent young color- ed ladies. Johnsen is a Kentucky negro hater who has no use f r the colored people no matter how worhy and com,etent they are. : It is hoped that Mr. Cleveland will call this negro hater to a hault. ——___ ---___—__ THE COLrERIE’s. A Brilliant Souvenir Party— Those who Were Present, The “Coterie’s” is the name of a newly organized club composed of twelve young ladis as follows: Mrs. Rosa Bell—Lacey, Miss: ss Pauline Bruce, Mary E. Bruce, Jeunie Kdelin, Sadie !.anghorn, Jeannette E Anderson, Rebecca Paynter, Mary Lacey, Eliza Duncan, Mrs. Isabella Simms. Misses. Evelyn Lacy, Henri- etta Brooks. This very interesting club which has such an appropriate name (‘*Coterie’’) meaning, a Select patty; gave a charm- ing souvenir party, at 123 on 9th street n. w., Wednesday evening Nov. 15. The spacious parlors were thrown open to the guests, who skipped the fantastic toe until their appetite called them into the dining rooms, where two beau- tifu! tables we e laden with the most appetizing eatabies f the season, Ev ry lady and g utleman present received a souvenir, as 2 momento of the club, which was apprec ation. All kinds vf parlor games were in- dulged in and at twelve o’clock the sweet strands of music played “H me Sweet Home,” much to the regret of many present. The house was cr-wded and the r-»dy response to the limited number of invitations that were sent out was evident that the young ladies first ef- fort- were highly appr ciated. The coming complimentary will no doubt be one of the most unique that has ever been given in the city. —____ NO RACE PRIDE. wort:y of Colored People Opposed to Their own Interest. There are colored people throughout this country who have n> race + ride; they seem to support and cater to tho-e peo le who do everything to injure them. Some of them are jealous and prejudiced to each other. Those who have the most intelligence are the worst prejudiced to their professienal men. This fact is mostly demonstrated in the medica] and legal profession, No matter what a white mans abilitv may be, suffice to say that he is white. In other business it is the same thing. . Death of Mrs, Webb. Mrs. Emily Randall Webb, the wife of ex-Commissioner Webb, died at her residence Jast Wednesday morning.

Parker: Are you aware that President Harrison appointed you to look after the republicans in office under the District government? Do you not know that this is a non partisan government in which taere should be no dis crimination as to color? The editor desires to call your atten- tion to the Fire department in which no negroes are employed and a department which seems to be opposed to the employment of colored men. The Pollce department is different; the chief of police although a democrat is is wil ing to give worthy negroes a chance. Has your sudden selection to the Commissionership caused you to think of nothing else than your English turnout and the appointment of white repubticans who are “starving to death”? You are unlixe your assoc ate commissiener Col. Ross. The peope have the most implicit confidence in him and hope that the President will reappoint him and appoint a man to succeed you. The colored republicans of tiie District don’t expect anything from you, in fact they don’t wish anything at your hands. They would ike for you, however, to over haul the fire depart- ment, and see what the trouble is. and see if your inspectors and health officers are doing their duty, and see tent to hold his place. ‘The tax payers demand this Col. Parker and before my next it is hoped that these evils will be obliterated. Believe me to be Yours truly, Tue Epiror. $a re —__—__ MINISTERIAL TIPS. Rev. S. G. Lamkins, is a sincere man, but rather slow. Dr. ». J. Grimkie, is one of the most learned in theology. Rev. Credit, may be the most stylish divine, and perhaps a silent man. Rey. Robert Joison, D. D. is the best informed minister in the city. Dr. D. P. Seaton, is dfiable and polite and one of the most logical. Dr. Bishop J -hnson, is the youngest minister in the city and the most active. Rev. Walter H. Brooks is no doubt the mos’ eloquent and interesting pastor in ‘he city. Rev. Geo. W. Lee, is the nestor of the negro pulpit. He knows how to tlk and when to talk. Le has one fault. He should keep his eyes open when he is addressing the people. Dr. Robert Dyson, is_ one of the oldest and the youngest. His ideas are in keeping with the present age. He is the most reasonable and one of the most eloquent and logical, He is a member of the old and new schools. Rev. James H, Lee, is the most moral, the most sincere, the most honest »nd best race man in the coun- try. There is nothing mechanical about him. He means what he says and does what he says. You can de- pend on him. He is like Rev. Dyson, he is all that the people says he is. —_—__—« + HOw Is This?

How a Farmer a.a His Boys Captured a Colony of the Insects. While on a recent trip out into the country I saw a farmer rid himself of several nests of bumbie bees in a very simple but effective manner. The par- ticular field which was being plowed over for the fall sowing was especially infected with the troublesome insects, and a plowboy the day before had been badly stung. The farmer asked me to go with him and see the boys “jug the bees.” A common brown jug half filled with water was taken along. One of the boys led the way to an es- pecially large and dangerous iooking nest lying on the stubble close to the ground. The jug was cautiously de- posited by the side of the nest. Then, with a long branch of a tree, the nest was violently stirred and the lad fied for his life. In a perfect swarm the bees flew out to see who had dared as sault their castle, and circled angrily about, buzzing violently all the time. From a safe distance the farmer and his boys threw clods of dirt and stones at the angry insects. They seemed to be looking for their enemy. Gradually their numbers grew less, and at last there were no bees to be seen. “Let us look in the jug,” said the farmer, as he led the way. It was picked up and its contents poured out on to the ground with difficulty, as 154 bumble bees, by actual count, had flown into the jug in a vain effort to find the destroyer of their home and had drowned. I walked back with one of the boys to a spring to fill the jug with clear water, preparatory to an attack upon another colony of bees. AS we trudged over the sunny fields the berry-brown lad remarked: “I'd rather jug bees any day than plow, wouldn’t you?’—St. Louis Globe-Demo- erat. The Soft Shell Lobster. “Neyer seed a soft-shelled lobster? Well, that’s not surprisin’. You see, they never get to market. They're so good that they always get ate first.” The grizzled old fisherman wrung the salt water out of his whiskers as he talked, having just landed through the surf in his boat with a fine cargo of fresh-caught lobsters. “A soft-shell lobster does not turn up every day, even at this season,” he went on. “When I catch one my wife ‘cooks it for our own dinner. Good? Well, you can bet. Fried in boiling lard, just like a newly-shed crab, it’s the finest thing on earth in the way of prevender. Something like a crab, you know, but a great deal more de- licious. Delmonico would give $10 a dozen for ’em, only that they can’t be got for any price. “You see, when the lobsters are shed- ding they hunt for holes among the rocks to hide in. Until they get their new coats they don’t ust walk abroad, but stay quietly in dark eran nies where no enemy is likely to find them. At such times they are not apr to be looking for food and they don't get into the pots on that account There isn’t any animal that is braver than a lobster when he is in fight trim, but without his armor he is flab- by and helpless, and it can’t be expect- ed that he should take any extra risk. It’s only a foolish one now and then that strays into one of the traps. “Suppose you had to take off your skin every now and then and wait for a@ new one to grow. P’r’aps you'd feel a trifle sensitive and retirin’. That's just the way it is with a lobster. His coat is of plate mail. It doesn’t ex- pand as he develops. So the time comes when he must swell or bust. He b’usts, and, when he comes out of his shell, he is bigger by a considerable than he was before. The process is a great strain on his health, and some- times he dies in getting through with it. He has to do the same thing a good many times before he gets his full growth, but after that he doesn’t shed any more. “This is the season when lobsters shed. Most of those we catch are b'usters. That is what we call those that are on the point of changing their coats. To do it they go ’way out to sea, so that just now we have to go twenty miles from land to catch them. It doesn’t take much skill. You see. we find them wherever there is rocky bottom. Out where we go to look for them there are great reefs of rocks outcropping, at a depth of nearly 100 feet. There the lobsters make their home in summer, shedding their coats as people shed their clothes to go in bathing along this shore in the hot months.”—Washington Star. ? ‘ “4 mop’s Vengence.
