A COLORED SARATOGA. LEADING COLORED MEN OF WASIIING- TON EMBARK IN AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE, Big WarTertnc PiLace IN View. They Have Secured A Large And Beautiful Place For a Summer Resort For Colored People Down The Potomac. The colored people of Washington, who, as everybody knows, comprise the most cultured, most advanced and in- telligent as well as the wea!thiest of the members of the colored race in the United States are displaying marked evidence of intellectual and social _pro- gress. Unlike the white people of the District of Columbia who do not pro- fess to be progressive, but who are content to fall in line in any movement in the direction of reform, moral or ma- terial, and to follow innovations of the athers of the broad area of the country outside who have “set the ball rolling” the colored citizi of Washington are the most progressive and the most en- terprising of those any American city. It may be safely suid therefore that when the members of the African race in Washington lead off in any move- ment intended to promote the happi- ness and well being of colored people generally, their example will. be follow- ed by the colored citizens of the coun- oh t large. ‘he latest evidence of that marked individuality and progressiveness of the colored people of ington, is distinctively characteris For years past the members of the race have been content to suppress the expression of their longing for the indulgence as a people in those golden hows of social ind intellectural recreation which en- ter into the experience of the white race during the summer months, the “holiday season.” dt is a season so fruitfal vf social and mental enjoyment that it would be tedious to e.umerate the many forms of indulgence into which it has developed. The ‘summer Chautauqua” is one manifestation of its utility, both asa means of pleasant recreation and of intellectual commun- ion, W asant memories do old and young alik ry to their homes when the period of the ‘“tsummer out- ing” is over and the regular thread of life is again taken up amidst the rush and tumoil of city life! IT WILL BE THE FIRST COLORED ” RESORT. Yet they are memories which have been wholly confined to the people of the white race. While the cultured and the talented among them have been holding their summer Chautauquas, their teachers’ institutes and their so- cial and intellectual reunions at pleas- ant resorts tee educated and the gifted members of the colored race - of which there are a vast. pumber more than the world at large imagines for the reason that they have been keeping modestly in the background and not flourishing any Chautauquan trumpets—have schooled themselves 1o resignation and have not allowed themselves to think that they, too could have their summer resort, their Chautauquan assemblages and their intellectual gatherings if they just made up their minds to have them. It has remained for the colored peo- ple of Washington to lead the way in this direction. Some of the leading citizens of the Disurics, among whom may be mentioned Mr. Kobert H. Key, Mr. Daniel B. Webster, Mr. William H. Thomas and Mr. Ferdinand Lee, have found a company and secured a magnilicent tract of g und down the Potomac, which will be at once improve ed and beautified as a summer resort and excursion ground where there may be brought together the educated and gifted people of their race, | teachers, editors, doctors, lawyers, writers, lec- turers and clergymen, #nder auspices of the regulation character governing a high-class summer resort. t The company has obtained sprone S10 of alarge place comprising the lower por‘ion of the famous Cob Island place rich in every history and legenda- ry romance, by the way—down the Po- tomac, where the river merges tempo- rally into a great body cf water eight miles wide at Wicomic> Bay. The scenery at this place is the most beauti- ful on the Potomac River and if the curving shore of the mainland at Rock Point or of the wooded beach of Cob Island were sketched by an artist the view might as well be mistaken for that that of some one of the famous Italian lakes. The place was desribed about fiye years ago ina column article in the Bal- jimore American and afterwards by the New York ‘limes as one of the most beautiful of places in the country. Cob Island, which is separated from the mainland of Charles County, Md., by Neals Creek or Sound, an arm of the Potomac, reaching froma bend in the river down with many a curve and wind to the bay, and which is about Joo yards wide at its widest parts, con- tains over 200 acres of magnificent pine forest and an = extent of splendid tillable land. The Island was before the war an extensive plantation. It is about 60 miles from Washington lying directly ite Colonial Beach, Virginia, and a few miles above Black- iston’s Island and Colton’s Beach. In every way ‘the place secured is Vt rice straw with high and n most advantageous. The Sound which separates the place from the main land Grand Excursion isshallow enough at the head of the Island to allow a horse and carriage to be driven across, at low tide. the road which leads from the shore to the is- land, and which is now the ford, hay- ing at one time been the neck above water even at high tide. (More incidents will appear next week.) —- ——_.~ee AN UGLY REPORT. TRYING TO FIX THE RESPONSIBILITY. A few days ago some evil disposed person circulated an evil report about TO Richmond, Va., AND RETURN. 0.& 0. Route Gordinsville and Louisa, Saturday, August 3, 1895, under the auspices of the Grand and Subordinate Comman some of the interns and ladies of the! dene., Knights ‘Templar of D. C. Freedmens Hospital. There was no foundation for the ru- mor nor did the circumstances warrant the circulation of such a report. The occasion was a social gathering of some ladies and gentlemen and tb cause certain other escorts and visite were hot invited they put out a foul re- port about them. ‘The report is that some one in authority was the cause of the scandal and it was only through the wise advise of some of the more level headed or some one would have been misrepresented. The friends of the parties ask that public sentiment be suspended until the responsibility can be fixed. —___< caer CHARMING FASHIONS. One hardly knows how to begin to begin to describe all the lovely frocks, but one seem of thick pearl gray crepan was a beauty. ‘The skirt plain and full The corsage with a guipure yoke form- ing jockeys on the short draped sleeves. The drapery of the corsage was held at the left by a big moulinet bow of black and white pekine ribbon with the ,ends carried around the bodice and joiming in the back of the belt which is of the sume ribbon.

Taffetas or satin ruching ribbons, passementerie, white or black laces gauzes of all colors, tulle and flowers especially. They are more am- ple and more trimmed than ever. Wide draped sleeves, with high elbow pieces, also trimmed with bijou buttons are among the latest.

The remains of the late Miss Emily Faithful were cremated, according to her expressed wish. Julia Ward Howe says that Longfel- low was a good deal of a dandy in his youth. His linen was immaculate, and he paid particular attention to his col- lars, The Rey. Anna Shaw was asked to name one of the big trees in the Yo- semite Valley, and she chose one of a group of three particularly fine ones and named it Susan B. Anthony. “I’m afraid I shan’t like this place,” said the summer girl, as she surveyed the broad-verandaed hotel, where not a man was to be seen. “There’s too-much balcony and not enough Romeo.” A number of women are making a good income in Philadelphia designing and drawing pictures for illustrating the newspaper advertisements of the big retafl mercantile establishments. Miss Emily Faithful combined her work for the cause of women with a love for strong cigars, of which she was an inveterate smoker. She took ‘to tobacco at first to relieve her asth- ma. Mrs. Phil Sheridan is said to be one of the prettiest of the numerous young widows in Washington. She was mar- ied when only nineteen, and she is still of slender and youthful appear- ance, ~ Mrs, Delia F. S. Parnell, the aged mother of Charles Stenest varnell, who was assaulted and robbed a few months ago near her home, “Old Iron- sides,” in the vicinity of Bordentown, N. J., is steadily improving. Miss Maria M. Love, of the Buffalo W. C. T. U., told the local conference of charities and corrections, a few days ago, that if girls would learn to cook, sew and keep house tidily there would be much less drinking by men. The world is the summer girl’s, and the fulness thereof. In the language of a Western philosopher, if the sum- mer girl feels that she is not getting ! the worth of her money, will she please rise and state what has been omitted? Blackwood’s Magazine discusses gravely how actresses keep their looks. “Ah,” remarked Mr. Quilp, “but wo- men haven't the play of intellect that men enjoy.” ‘No, of cqurse not,” snap- ped Mrs. Quilp. ‘“Woman’s intellect works.” A Boston girl now in London writes that she could not gain admittance to { any so-called respectable hotel in that city, because she was alone; and yet she had considerable baggage and showed her passport and letter of credit. “Gracious, girls! Did you see this— that half the graduating class in Yale gay they intend never to marry?” “Oh, don’t worry about that, Mame. They'll | change their minds in a few years when they find how it hurts to earn a living.” The twenty female school teachers appointed a few days ago to teach in the West Chester, Pa., public schpols during the ensuing year, were required to sign an agreement not to get mar ried during the year for which they were appointed. There is no rule against courting, provided it is done out of school hours. The board says it is by no means opposed to matrimony, but that it has found such an agree- ment necessary in order to prevent breaks in the corps of teachers at im- convenient times. are bal WISE ANO OTHERWISE . &- A man who would stab a ghost weulé stick at nothing. “Your wife seems to have a stronger will than you have.” “That’s true, but she’ll have a hard time breaking mine after I am dead.” The free and lovely impulses of hos- pitality, the faithful attachment of friends—these, too, are a holy religion to the heart.—Schiller.
