The Board of school trustees met in the Franklin building on last Tuesday evening. There was nothing done ex- the entire Board a committee on High and Normalschools. It is a very good move and it is hoped that Mr. Barnard wili do something to improve the con- dition of the colored High and Nor- mal schools, since the colored trustees do not seem inclined to make any re- forms. It was after 5 o’clock when President Whelpley called the board to order, and directed that the Secre- tary, Mr. J. G. Falck, cail the roll. There were present the following: Messrs. Barnard, Hazen, Mrs. Tulloch, Mr. Brown, Mrs. Terreil, Dr. Richard- son, Gen. Geo. H. Harries, and the newly appointed colored member, Thomas M, Wright. read from the District Commissioners ceptance of the resignation of Mr. B. K. Bruce from the board and the appoint- ment in his stead of Mr. Wright. : Some routine business was then dis- F. Harmon, as a teacher in the public |schools, was accepted. Mrs. Helen M.

In the fourth division, L. M. Tweedale was was promoted as a teacher from the second to third grade and from $475 per annum to $550. vice M. A.

Mr Brown thought it advis- able to let the important matter wait over for amonth.

The Sham Chapel Sunday School at the John Hay School is in a flourishing condition and has among its visitors the leading citizens. Dr. Stewart of Washington, D. C. and Mr. W. E. Johnson madesome very appropriate remarks last Sunday afternoon. The Florence Crittenton Mission of this city justly deserves the credit of the promoters and its prime movers. This week is a week of prayer atthe mission. Hundreds of prodigals have returned. Rev. R. B. Robinson left for New York this week and will be absent for several days. The Washington Annual Conference is near and there is much talk of the probable return of the present minister at Robert’s Chapel, this city, Rev. W. H. Gains, who is the choice of the people, irrespective of creed or color. Rev. Gains is undoubtedly a good man and has certainly done much to put the chapel services on a higher plane than that of any one who has heretofore filled the pulpit of that Methodist Church and itis earnestly hoped that he will be returned here for another year at least, as his re-appoint- ment here means that the leading church congregation of this old histor- ical city will be favorable to thanking Bishop Andrews with a rising vote and his reappointment means our Gains. | | | Mr. W.

Mr. Crittenton is a_ christian worker in @ very sense of the word and to say that ne is absolutely without a rival in the | work of lifting fallen humanity, is only a very moderate expression.

CHARLES SUMNER. HON. “JOHN P. GREEN BEFORE THE BETHEL LITERARY. Ex-State Senator John P. Green, of Ohio, addressed the Bethel Literary on last Tuesday evening and his theme was Charles Sumner. The audience was large and distinguished. Consist- ing of some of the best brains in this country. Mr. Green was faultlessly attired in evening dress and when he was introduced by the president, Prof. Hershaw, the speaker was enthusias- tically applauded. He reviewed the life and character of Charles Sumner arid showed by his logic and develop- ment of facts that he was the master of the situation. He was eloquent and statesmanlike, and the applause he received from the distinguished au- dience present was an evidence that Mr. Green was pleasing his hearers. Prof. R. T. Greener was called for and paid a handsome tribute to the speaker and his paper. Mr. Green is an easy and pleasing speaker. He is one of the few public men who is not at all egotistical. He is unassuming and gentlemanly which make him powerful when he isin a de- bate with his antagonists. COLORED WAITERS. | TWO PROMINENT CATERERS WANT TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THEM—TO ORGANIZE AGAINST THE SONS OF TOIL. In two of the uptown prominent ca- tering establishments kept by white men there are posted in conspicuous places in the dining room two cards, and among other things they read:— “Meeting this evening for the purpose of organizing a white waiters associa- tion.» Members of Congress and white families who want their parties served, balls, receptions, etc., will please ap- ply to Mr.—” This association is for the purpose of discriminating against colored waiters. _ A representative of THE BEE in speak- ing to the Colored Waiters Associa- tion said that a special meeting of the association will be called for the pur- pose of making war on these two white establishments who employ none but white waiters. This gentleman said that the Colored Waiters Association did not care if these houses did not employ colored waiters but they knew they had influence enough to keep their white employers from patroniz- ing these two houses. There is to be war in Africa. WHAT THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. O’Donnell judge of the police court. Two colored bailiffs appointed in the police court. _ Colored men united on all race ques- tions.

When a prominent dramatic critic was asked a few years ago, why wom- en failed as playwriters, he replied: Because they have no sense of humor —-an essential quality for a playwright. Women are witty often, brilliant occas- ionally, but rarely subtly, quietly hum- orous’’. ‘‘The criticism is, or rather was, perfectly just,” is the verdict of Miss —Mary Stone, one of the best known of modern women dramatists, “but we have changed all that at this last end of the century, and the most marked characteristic of the coming woman, who has already arrived, is a fully developed sense of humor.’’ The success of women playwrights in the past two years has been some- thing phenomenal. Take for instance this last fall; the theatrical season was no sooner under way in New York, than it became a matter,of general com- ment that the three best drawing plays on the stage were by women, women who werecomparatively, if not act- ually, unknowa “three years ago. Crane’s greatest recent successes have been from the pen of a woman, Martha Morton; Nat Goodwin will inclnde in his repertoire this winter three plays by one woman, Mrs. Madeline Lucette Ryley; while, to hark back to the season of ’95-’96, the financial success of the year, both in New York and on the road was ‘‘The Bowery Girl” by Ada Lee Bascom, of San Francisco.— From‘* The Woman Pramatist and Her Success” in Demorest's Family Magazine for January.
