Pres- ident Lawson devoted more time in discussing the strains of musical eloquence than he would have, had the Chesterfield mea.ber of the District bar put in his appearance, Mrs. Jones, who is a very diplo- matic entertainer, made a very plausible excuse for her absent husband but that did’nt satisfy the thirsty anxiety of those who could have gone elsewhere, who went to listen to lawyer Jones discuss the Afro-Americans not yet Emanci- pated.

Some of the questions that will be considered are the follows : 1st. What is the relation of the Negro to Major McKinley. 2nd. What is the Negro to real- ize by giving his support to Major McKinley ? Has he been sound on the Negro question ? 3rd.

Every style of girl is said in society to have her day; and just at present the type of feminine looks in greatest demand and admiration is she of the very sallow, nay, of a distinctly yellow, complexion, whose countenance shows no animation whatever, but who can boast a pair of large, gloomy, black ize Can you trace the likeness? hese unfortunate girls have come to the fore since Eleanora Duse has wqn such popularity here. Well, the sal- low, dark-eyed girls are enjoying their day hugely, and do their hair in soft, languid-looking folds about their faces, and drop an occasional Italian, instead of French, word into their conversa- tion. In fact, Duse has made the soft language of Italy wonderfully popular since she has been in this country, just as she has brought into favor the cus- tom of wearing a large turquois ring on the first finger of the left hand. It’s the only jewel she honors with daily usage; and the unique ornament is at present one of society’s whims —From ‘Society Fads,’’ in Demorest’s Magazine for May. LOW RATES TO PITTSBURG VIA B. & O.

Grimes con- ducted the devotional portion, and in opening prayer paid a glooming tri- bute to woman, recognizing her influ- ence in the goodfrom the most ancient times dewn to the present. The President, Mrs. John F. Cook, after a fne rendition by the choir of the church, announced that Miss Emma F. G. Merritt, Secretary would give the history of the Union, which she did in a very succinct and interesting man- ner, ng an outline from the con- ceptionof the plan to present. Mrs. John Qook, the President, then in her characteristic manner gave the ob- ject ard the work proposed. Mrs. Cook referred briefly to the want of some representative of the race on the Board of Reform School for girls. She emphasized the fact that the school though proposed for incorrigible girls of all kinds, was filled only by colored girls and because of this discrimina- tion, some representative of the race should be on Board of Trustees of the Institution as well as in the faculty. The address of the occasion was given by Mrs Fannie Barrier Williams, of Chicago. Mrs. Williams is a brilliant and bfainy little woman, whose mission seems best served when directing those who are seeking the way of reform. Havirg done much of the reform work, that of teaching the weak to walk up- rightly by sympathetic hand to hand work, she was able to give many wholesome and much treasured ad- vice. The hungry eager listeners lit- erally drank in the much needed sug- gestion so generously diffused by this gifted woman. Example in her case being more potent than precept, the lessons were indelibly stamped. Miss A. V. Tompkins followed, giving a good practical talk, which should have been listened to by every interested mother in the community. The only regret being that more were not privi- leged to hear it. Miss M. L. Jordan in her characteristic manner empha- sized the points stressed by the other speakers. The program was interspersed with music, kindly rendered by the choir of the church, together with solos by Miss Chanie Patterson, Mrs. Lee Slade and Mr. Orme. The organization though in its in- fancy shows ahmistatcable signs of potency and far reaching influence. But a month has elapsed since the per- manent organization of this body, yet it roots, ramify every section of the city, including eighty organized ladies comprising a membership of between 1,500 to 1,800. The officers bespeak the character of the Union. Mrs. John F. Cook is President, Miss Emma F. G. Merritt, Secretary; Misses Ella D. Barrier, Lulie S, Chase and Julia C. Grant, Assistants ; Mrs. B. M. Howard, Trea- surer, and an Executive Board, com- posed of twenty, selected from_ that number of different bodies. The Board is filled with workers of the best type the city can afford. Thet eth anniversary of the Way. land Seminary was appropriately cele- brated last evening in the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, near R street, northwest. President G. M. P. King presided. The program which _ in- cluded addresses to members of the graduating class and orchestral music was well rendered and happily ap- plauded. Special prizes were given as follow ‘or sewing, Miss Ada Burke and Sul Gardner ; for care of room, Miss Elizabeth Wade and Miss Emma Church; for neatness in dress, Miss bish. The prizes were the Wayland prizes and greatly appreciated by the winners ———_$———$—— WM. A. LIPPHARD, DEALER IN Room, 15 612 F St., HARNESS, SADDLES, WHIPS. N. W. Bicycles for Sale.
