Colored men‘are pecnliar being; some of them have no more respect for their ladies than they have for the DEMI MONDE. Bach wen look upon every wo- man with euspicion, no matter ip what capacity they may be em- ployed. If pegro men had more rerpec' for female members of the race and defend them instead of degrading them, the more fortunate race woald have more respect for them. Every wationality the eivilzed as wellas the barbarians will de- fend the honor and integrity of th ir women,.except Degroes. Every woman is wrong in the eyes of some meu; every woman is unchasteif the libertine is sit in judgement on ber case. The Police court is occapied from day to day with uofortu pate women; women who have been ruined by men’s infidelts _and deception and thier off springs sent to the Board of Chil- dren’s Gaardians, Toe c_urts often get disguste* and beart sick wih the cases that are oftev brenght before them. The pulpit as well as the press will vot do justice in expos ing the wrougs perpetrated upon Degro wowen. Let us do our duty in ‘letendin;: our Women; let ox set upa sys tew of returmatiou bot only of our women bat every ting tha pertaius to the rece. a'vancement. THE ROW IN COURT?

We never, hardly ever quarrel with @ man ov accouxt of his poli- tical belief. Thisis a free country and 8 mau hasaright to be just what he wants to be; bat at the game time it is the height of bypoericy for him to play the Jekyle aud Ayde act and barter away the coufideuce the public impose- in him. but to prevent the said public from being further deceived, we desire to cull their atten tion to the fact that Mo. Edward E. Cooper poses as @ republican, pub- lishes theColored Americav”as au independent journal and at the same time bis name is evrolied smove the democratic candidates for tue recordership. If a.cent or modern history faroisbes a clearer crse of politi- cal duplicity we bave failed to discover it.

Some men engage iv school teaching as a daty; some as a matter of business while others take it up because they have been failures in every other oc- capation; and notwithet»nding their qualifications are limited and their manners uncouth they are retained in their position, a8 in the ease of Mr. Cardoza who despite the fact that he is no more fitted to be principal of one of our schools then a C ma: che Andien is fitted for President of the United States, be is retaine' ib the disgust of the re poveubte people pf the District. JUST AS THE BEE SAID. j j March 18th 1894 Mr. W. C. Chase, ir: For some months you have been publishing in your paper, “The Bee’ malicious. and un- truthfal attacks libellous in_ their charaeter, upon Rev. W. J. Howard of_ this city. No notice having thus far been taken of these assaults you ap- pear to be under the impression that you ean say what you please with impunity, and your publications of last Saturday are in exce ss of anything you have yet ventured to rint. ; na now desire to give you notice unless these injustifiable attacks cease at once that you will be aes eeainst SEN ee dae colored} jattorneys who assisted ale aan ‘ing Williamson, Attorney for Rev. W. J. Howard. The BEE says now as it has always said e pastor of Zion Baptist | church, has more faith in white law- yers than he has in colored. This confirms the statement of the Bex; he has employed a white lawyer to write the BEE this letter. The B&E restates that there are members of Howards’ church opposed to him and ne gro lawyers have no more faith m him than he has in them Now proceed Williamson as the Bee will not cise its opposi- tion to Howard until he_ is re- moved from the pulpit. Howard nor any other negro has any business in a colored church who preaches one thing from the pulpit and acts the contrary as far as his race is concerned. The Bre again states that he has advised colored people in the vicinity of the police court to employ. white lawyers, and if Howards’ white attorney had as much sense as someof the col- ored attorneys he would have advised Howard to preach race pride. Go west Williamson and be doctored, you are affected with brain fever. White lawyers bave more effec on some negroes than colored. I, Williams will strike a hornet’s uest when be di<turbs th BEE.

This is the only correction the BEE intends to make. —————— Williamson, bow mach did Floward pay you for writing that letter? You are about as widdy a your client. ALVA C.

THE FREEDMENS HOSPITAL. THE COMING CHANGES. The new chief of the Freedmens Hospital, Daniel Williams, will prob- ably make several medical changes in that institution. One reform Dr. Williams should make and that is to increase the number of nurses, give them more p'y and also give them to understand that they have got to be kind and gentle to the patients. There ar¢ some very impudent and uncouth nurses in that hospital and _ the sooner they are removed the BE! is of the opinion that it will be better. The new chief should also get rid of the pimps and tale _ teller: who have done the hospital much harm in the past. CONGRESSMAN MURRAY.

There are a number of negro republi cans in office who endeavor to t ady to the present administration or thos: who claim to have influence with th: administration. This toadyism is carriec on, not only, by the small frys, but by persons who should be above suci hypocricy. There are men in office who have been put in by republi- ; cans and «ho now im tobe great democrats. They ha ined the color ed democratic association and will con- tinue in power for three years, anc what they hope to gain from the admin. istration, the Bre is unable to state ee Mr. Thomas L.

ITS CONTINUED ATTEMPT TO BLACK- GUARD COLORED ATTORNEYS. The Washington Post in its issue of ‘March 3d published an alleged report fof the proceedings of the Cox and “Stewart trial, charged wiih false pre. tenses. In its zeal to create fun anc blackguard colored attorneys a long string of lies, derogatory to colored attorneys were published This paper never fails, on all occasions to black guard the colored people. : It very seldom, if at any time, publishes the truth concerning th: colored people in this city. In a few minutes, that to our anx- ious minds seemed interminable, we managed to diminish the distance to the requisite point, and again the straps were liberated. The hood was then slipped from the chetah’s head. He saw the animals at once; his body quivered all over with excitement, the tail straightened and the hackles on his shoulders stood erect, while his eyes gleamed and he strained at the cord, which was held short. In a second it was unfastened, there was a yellow streak in the air, and the che- tah was crouching low some yards away. In this position, and taking ad- vantage of a certain unevenness of the ground, which gave him cover, he sealthily crept forward toward a buck that was feeding some distance away from the others. Suddenly this ante- lope saw or scented his enemy, for he was off like the wind. He was, how- ever, too late; the chetah had been too quick for him. Al there was to be seen was a flash, as the supreme rush was made. This movement of the chetah is said to be, for the time it lasts, the quickest thing in the animal world, far surpassing the speed of a race horse. Certainly it surprised all of us, who were intently watching the de- tails of the scene being enacted in our view. The pace was so marvelously great that the chetah actually sprang past the buck, although by this time the terrified animal was fairly stretched out at panic speed. This overshooting the mark by the chetah had the effect of driving the antelope, which swerved off immediately from his line, into run- ning round in a circle, with the chetah on the outside. The tongas were galloped up, and the excitement of the occupants can hardly be described. In my eagerness to see the finish, I jumped off and took to running, but the hunt was soon over, for before I could get quite up, the chetah got close to the buck, and with a spring at his haunches, brought him to the ground. The leopard then suddenly released his hold, and sprang at his victim’s throat, throwing his held when we arrived at the spot. The chetah was then crouching low, suck- ing the blood from the jugular vein, mouth to the antelope’s throat. The and appeared to be dead, although probably not so in reality, but only paralyzed by fear. Ine of the men stooped down and plunged a knife in- to the buck’s neck close to the spot where the chetah still held fact. This coup de grace not only terminated the poor thing’s existence, but caused the blood to flow freely, which one of the men proceeded to catch in a large he had brought for the purpose. When placed, and he was ultimately induced to let go his hold of the antelope by the bowl of steaming hot blood being slipped under his nose. Into this dain- ty reward for his trouble he at once plunged his head, and with ferocious eagerness lapped up the whole of it. ‘Walter Camp on Foot-Ball. As to the amount of time taken by a football player from his studies: In the first place, the early practice of some three weeks is taken not from his studies, but from his summer vaca- tion. October and November are the only months wherein he is both play- ing football and studying. During the first of these his practice usually con- sists of two half-hours in the after- noon. In November he may be re quired, in addition to this, to go through signals for a half-hour in the morning, and, toward the end, in the evening, also.

Up to this time the player, in distinction from the captain, has had few worries. He has been coached, but has not been required to study out problems of attack and de- fense, tricks and strategies, plays for emergencies, and plans of operation. This has become the duty of the coaches and the captain. The coach is usually a graduate who has sacrificed a vaaction at some other period of the year to assist in the fall work. Thus the coaches answer an excellent pur- pose in taking from the shoulders of the players the too fascinating and en- grossing study of tactics. There is no doubt that when team play really be- gins in earnest, as it does at the end of October, the captain thinks of foot- ball more than of lessons; but that very man has usually been selected on account of his mental ability, and I have never known a football captain at Yale who did not keep up with his class and pass satisfactory examina- tions. The “bummer” gets dropped and the exceedingly bright but dissi- pated collegian falls by the wayside; sometimes even the plodding but stu- ; pid worker has to give up; but a man whose mental attributes and moral qualities win him the captaincy of a football team is sure to pull through in spite of the demands made upon his time.

Mr. Eckenrode’s Eel Catch Aimost Un- parallelled in the Annals of Fishing. A remarkable haul of eels was made the other day by Cosmos Eckenrode, who was fishing along the Tulpehoc en. There is a variety of eels known ag the tandem eci, which is very sel- dom found in this State, though com- mon in the West. A peculiarity of this variety is that they travel, wien mi- grating, single file, about six inches art, and roaintain that distance ex- ly during the time of their progress. If one of the lot shoots ahead too rap- idly the one following immediately grasps him by the tail, in order to drag him back to his proper place in the line. They appear to have a re- markable instinct for distance, and the variation of an inch will cause the rear eel to exercise his authority to put the brakes on the one ahead. While Mr. Eckenrode was fishing he hooked one of the travellers, a very remarkable circumstance, as they sel- dom bite while migrating. As soon as he had hooked it he, of course, gave a haul on the line, which caused this par- ticular eel to shoot ahead. He was immediately grasped by the one fol- lowing, and as that one likewise shot ahead the next one did the same, so that when Mr. Eckenrode began to haul out he found a solid rope of eels. Dropping his rod and line he grasped the living rope and began to haul in hand over hand. He kept hauling in and piling up the eels until he was ut- terly exhausted, when he was obliged to stop and cut the connection. He quickly ran for assistance, and a num- ber of the neighbors came to help him take care of his rare catch. When they were all gathered up and loaded on wagons it was found that he had 875 pounds. About $50 worth were sent to the Reading market, and the rest were distributed among his neigh- bors. The news of his remarkable catch has spread all over the upper part of the county, and a great many fisher- men have been endeavoring to repeat fit, but without success, since, accord- | ing to naturalists, an occurrence of this sort is one of the rarest in fishing.— Reading Herald. Lincoln at Gettysburg. John G. Nicolay, who was Mr. Lin- ,coln’s private secretary, and who ac- companied the President when he made his immortal speech at Gettys- | burg, contributes an article to the Feb- j Tuary “Century,” describing the oeca- sion and comparing the various ver- sions of the speech. He thus describes its delivery: At about 11 o'clock the presidential party reached the platform. Mr. Ever- ‘ ett, the orator of the day, arrived fully ‘half an hour later, and there was still further waiting before the military bodies and civic spectators could be properly ranged and stationed. It was, therefore, fully noon before Mr. Everett began his address, after which, for two hours, he held the assembled multitude in rapt attention with his eloquent descr on and argument, his polished ction, his carefully studied and practised delivery. concluded, and the rmed the usual musi- ient Lincoln rose ned him in the pro- | gramme. [t entirely natural for every one to expect that this would ) consist of a few perfunctory words, | the mere formality of official dedica- | tion. There is every probability that | the assemblage regarded Mr. Everett as the mouthpiece, the organ of ex- pression of the thought and feeling of | the hour, and took it for granted that ; Mr. Lincoln was there as a mere | official figure-head, the culminating ecoration, so to speak, of the elabor- cal interlude, P to fill the par ately planned pageant of the day. ‘They were, therefore, totally unpre- pared for what they heard, and could not immediately realize that his words, and not those of the carefully selected orator, were to carry the con- centrated thought of the occasion like a trumpet-peal to farthest posterity. The newspaper records indicate that when Mr. Lincoln began to speak, he held in his hand the manuscript first draft of his address which he hai fin- ished only a short time before. But it is the distinet recollection of the writer, who sat within a few feet of him, that he did not read from the written pages, though that impression was naturally left upon many of his auditors. That it was not a mere me- chanical reading is, however, more definitely confirmed by the circum- stance that Mr. Lincoln did not de- liver the address in the exact form in which his first draft is written. It was taken down in shorthand by the reporter for the “Associated Press,” telegraphed to the principal cities, and printed on the following morning in the leading newspapers. Rivals. I heard this spirit of rivalry very funnily expressed some time ago. Two little girls were, on the surface, friends, but each consumed with a desire to outdo each other, as there was really no love lost between them. During luncheon af school one day one waited until all the busy tongues had stopped a second to take a rest, and then re- marked with empressment: “We had ham, with champagne sauce, for din- ner last night!” and waited to see the effect of her announcement. It was a success. Every child paused and ohed and ahed, until the rival, not lik- ing such an expression of popular sen- | timent, exclaimed scornfully: “Huh! } That’s nothing! We have our hams} boiled in champagne!’ And number ; one retired ignominiously from the | field, until next time—Boston Adver- | tiser. ; A Considerate Boy. Mother—Back already?
