ITS 30TH ANNUAL SESSION. | The Thirtieth Annual Session of the | Medical Department of Howard Uni- | versity will begin October rst, 1897- | Prof. Alleger will deliver the open- | jing address to which the public and |the profession are cordially invited. |We are informed by the Secretary, | Prof. F. J. Shadd, that a large number | of students will be enrolled this year, | judging from the applications received | from different parts of the country. Howard University Medical Depart- |ment is always alive to the growing ‘spirit of the times, enlarging its scope | of usefulness, demanding better quaii- ; | fications tor admission and only gradu- ating those who are prepared & the ‘practice of medicine, dentistry, or pharmacy. At a recent examination before the District Board, there were six Howard graduates admitted to practice in the city. No graduate of Howard Medical College failed. Our attention_ this year is called to the facilities offered by the Dental and Pharmaceutic Col- ‘leges. These departments are in bet- | ter condition than ever before, and a large increase of students is expected. ‘Lhe corps of professors and instruct- ors are capable and are eager to pre- pare these students for the active du- ties of life. | The South and West are opened to colored doctors, dentists, and drug- gists, and the best families will wel- come any bright, competent and hon- est young man or woman who desires to settle in their locality. Knowing the needs of these people, we do not hesitate to suggest that more young men and women should enter the Den- tal and Pharmaecutic Colleges of Howard University and prepare them- selves for active work among the race. Dentists and druggists can find work but some should leave the large cities | where living is so very expensive and go to parts of the country where they can be among the first citizens of the community in which they live. Better be first in Carthage than sec- ond in Rome. We have been informed by a promi- nent white dentist that the colored people are not wanted as patients even when they are able to pay expenses for services rendered. Hence, we believe that capable colored dentists and druggists could obtain all the work they could do. We hope the colored papers will call attention to the needs of the race in this particular, and we know of no place better suited to prepare young professional men and women than the Medical Department of Howard Uni- versity. | | | j | Miss Emma Cusberd’s spacious and beautiful parlors of 18th Street, were thrown open last Monday evening in honor of Miss Mabel Homes of Rich- mond. There were a goodly number present and they enjoyed themselves immensely. Among the merry num- ber seated at the table were seen: Misses Mabe! Holmes, Ottie Brooks, Ethel J. Davis, Lula A. Peebles, Hat- tie F. Ross, Emma Cusberd, Bertie Brooks, and Madeline Matthews. Mes- sers Dr. A. A. Wyche, Arthur F. Bos- ton, Edward Rouser, J. Thomas John- son, J. S. Tucker, Ernest Wright, R. J.

She is fascinating, approachable and as an entertainer, she is simply immense. As she leaves our city shortly, the merry makers ex- THE WASHIN THE OUTRAGE ON MRS. HAW KINS. oe [From the Daily Post.] The spirit and vigorous action of our police authorities in ordering the arrest of the wife of Hawkins, the fugitive rob- ber, cannot be too seriously considered or too loudly discussed. It exhibits an d zeal and profes- sional dulness and eager stupidity, the like of which has not adorned the an- nals of police blundering in this or any other town. Hawkins himself made he record for earnest and painstaking asininity when he confessed his guilt— semething which, in all probability, would never have been suspected oth erwise—by running away from Wash- ington with the plunder. He has been bereaved of even that poor distinction by the police. E : it batfles human ingenuity to imagine the mental processes by which the au- thorities reached the conclusion to ar- rest Mrs. Hawkins. They had as their inspiration only the statement made by a detected thief, a false husband, and Yoronto detectives a dozen different stories. He had implicated a subordi- nate official of the District, and he ha suggested other accomplices in his crime. These insinuations were mere ly laughed at, as no doubt they de- served to be, but the moment Hawkins asserted that he had given his wife a tew dollars before absconding, the police pounced upon the doubly unfor- tunate woman with a precision and an | enthusiasm which cannot be sufficiently condemned. Here was an unhappy wife who had, according to all trust- worthy accounts, been nexlected and mistreated betore the flight of her hus- {band, and who was now additionally afflicted by his crime and his desertion. She had made no attempt to follow the fugitive; there was nothing to justify the suspicion that she knew where he had gone ; it was quite open to the po- lice, in the ardor of their newly awak- ened vigilance, to hold her movements under observation. Yet, on the barest hint from a discredited quarter—a hint contradicted and dishonored by every fact and probability in the case—this friendless and unhappy woman is sub- jected to the indignity of an arrest and to the brand of an imputed crime. We do not recall from memory rich in instances of stupid bungling any- thing quite so offensive and expaster- ating as this performance. It does not need even the contrast of the imbecility displayed in the cases of Foultz and Carr to emphasize its odious character- istics. There is but one gleam of en- couragement and reassurance to the entire episode, and that is furnished by the police Justice who promptly dis- missed the victim under a purely nom- inal bond. NIAGARA FALLS. SPECIAL TEN-DAY EXCURSION VIA B.&O. | Everybody has contemplated a_trip to Niagara Falls atsome time. Why not make this time now? If you wait for the opportunity to turn up you may nevere see it. Surely you can spare a week or ten days from business, espe- cielly when the trip can be made un- der the most favorable circumstances ihe B. & O. has arranged a ten-day tour to Niagara, August 26th. The special train will run through to the Falls, arriving there at night, passing the picturesque portion aie route in daylight. The privilege of stopping off at Watkins’ Glen, Glen Onoko, Mauch Chunk, Geneva, Rochester and Buffalo, will crowd into the ten-days’ attractions that cannot be duplicated on the continent, and all this, too, without any additional cost for rail- road fare. A specil express with Pullman Par- lor Cars attached, in charge of an ex- perienced tourist agent, will leave B. and O. Station, Washington, 8:10 a. m. arriving at the Falls 11:00 p. m.

REFLECTION ON THE SCHOOLS. HOW SOME OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS SPEND THEIR VACATION: THE BOARD MAY TAKE ACTION. There is some complaint made and surprised expressed by those who are interested in the teachers of the pub- lic schools. It is said that after the | close of the schools in June, some of the best known teachers leave the city under the pretense of going on a vaca- Wh tion, when indeed they go away to get employment in the hotels, either as waiters, waitresses or chambermaids. Some of the most prominent teachers in the colored public schools of the city came under the observation of the BeE correspondent thissummer. A promi- inent music teacher of the colored pub- lic schools was seen in a prominent white hotel this summer slinging hash. Then there was a certain principal in one of the divisions, slinging hash in a white hotel. Both of these teachers are receiving good salaries, At Long Branch, N. J., there could be seen a few, of the favorite colored teachers acting as chambermaids in | hotels. When these people are asked | | what they do during the winter, they | say, ‘‘Oh! we teach school in Washing- ton.”’ What a reflection on the colored | schools and the teachers who have| more respect for the schools. It is no disgrace to work, but the BEE is of the opinion that such positions should be left to those who follow that kind of work. If these teachers would save their money during the school months insteed of living beyond their income, they would employ their time during the summer at some institute or at some place resting themselves. There should be a rule in the schools that would tend to make teachers em- ploy their time during the summer months in a way that will reflect credit on the schools. Female teachers who employ their time in white hotels as chambermaids should be asked to hand in their resignations. You wou'd not find a white teacher that would de- grade herself to go to a colored hotel as chambermaid after the close of her school. Very likely the Bue will give the names of those teachers. | NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT UNION VETERAN LEGIO) COLUMBUS, O. The Baltimore & Ohio R.R. an- nounces reduced rates from all points on its line east of the Ohio River for the National Encampment of the Union Veteran Legion, at Columbus, Ohio, SeptemLer 22d and 23d.

At the third annual session of the Afro-American League of the State of Illinois held in Chicago on August the 31st 1897, considerable business being transacted, several changes were made in the constitution, one of the changes was that the officers shall be elected every three years, it was de- cided to take the Jeague out of politics as much as possible, and have the col- ored people thoroughly organized in subordinate leagues in every city and town in the state. The following offi- cers were unanimously elected for three years: John G Jones of Chica- go, president; Kichard Blue of Bloom- ington, Ill., first vice-president; Wm. T.

THE FOLLY OF SOME NEGROES, For some time a certain class of col- ored men who generally associate with the lowest element in the city have been agitating the school question and requesting the Commissioners to ap- point black men on the board, because they will look out for the black teach- ers. There never was a more ridicu- | themselves people. ment. The Bes, as well as the peo ple is opposed to the importation of teachers in this city. Preference should always be given to home talent.
