Some one has suggested that the managers of the Capital City Club should go to some little village and hush pumpkins and forget that they had the nerve to run aclub, in the city of the nation’s capital.

A TRUE AND LOYAL LEADER OF THE PKOPLE.— | HE COLORED MAN S FRIEND.—A FARMER, SOLDIER AND STATESMAN. Among the many representatives In Congress from the state of lowa, there is no man better known to his people and the people of this country than Hon. John Fletcher Lacey, of Oskaloosa, Iowa, who was born at New Martinville, Va., (now West Vir- ginia,) say 30, 1841. Mr. Lacey moved to lowa in 1849 and was educated in the public schools, Asbury (ind.,) Uni- versity, ana Jowa Wesk yan College, at Mount Pleasant; was graduated from the Cincinnati, (Unio) Law School in the spring of 1862; enlisted in the Twenty-third lowa Intantry July 1862; was first lieutenant and captain, was wounded in the charge on intrench- ments st Black River, May 17, 1863; resigned October, 1863; was elected Secretary of the lowa State Senate in 1872 and reelected in 1880 and 1882; was elected lieutenant-gereral in 1885 and reelected in 1987; 1s engaged in farming and manulacu.uring; was elect- ed to the Fifty-second, Fitty-third and Fifty-fourth Congresses and reelected to the Fifty-fifth Congress as a repub- lican, receiving 25,578 votes against 19,352 votes for F.W. i:vans, Fusionist. ‘There is no man in Congress who has, in such a short a period won the hon ors that Congressman Lacey has. AS A SOLDIER he has displayed his valor on more than on one occasion. He has faced the enemy and by his undaunted courage and pluck, -he received a severe wound which did not cause him to lose his courage that instilled in him by his mother. He was not too tollowed the plow and when his coun- try called him he did not hesitate once to obey the call and the representa- | tive places to which he was called to ' fill will convince any one that his peo- ple were proud of him and honored him. THE BLACK MAN’S FRIEND. | He was the first white republican from Uskaloosa to recognize the , merits of the negro. Whenever a man white or black proved himself capable and deserving of recognition he will recognize him. He has now at the Capitol of this city, a colored citizen of his district and he is doing all in his power now to obtain recognition for worthy representative colored citizens who live in his district. The BEE iscon fident that as soon as the civil service law is amended or repealed where- by worthy republicans will be recog- nized, the black man will get his share. A prominent colored citizen of lowa, who resides in this city, informs The Bre that Mr. Lacey's house is always opened to his constituents, white and black and that his amiable wife is as much loved as he is by the colored peo- ple in his state, because she is a noble woman who recognizes all men as equal before the law. These are the kind of men_the col- ored man should support. They de- served to be supported, they are en- titled to all the good that can be said of them. Mr. Lacey represents the Sixth district with a population of 155,354 and itis quite evident that a man with his record, with the confi- dence and respect of the people will continue to be their choice. Heisa true and loyal leader of the people; the colored man’s friend, a tarmer, soldier and statesman. | AN ANCIENT TRAMP, i , HE Is A SHORT AND MOUTHY INDIVID- 1 UAL. From the time the people in this city had the elective franchise, and from | the time it was taken away from them, there has been a prominent figure seen daily promenading the streets of Washington, witha canein his hand as short as he is. He knows every- body’s business except his own. He is more or less at every political con- 12th, and R Streets next Mon- | vention and always picks out the win- ner in his mind. He never does any grandest ever given by that } work but tramps the streets of the city, that section of the division where his company is more congenial. He ean be found around the police court any time between the hours of 9 and 10 e’clock. He carries a cane and wears a durby hat. This ancient tramp will be p:cked up some day as a vagrant as he has no visible means of support. SUCCESS IN “STRIKING” TITLES. The value ofa striking title to an ariicle or story is understood by no American periodical so well as he Ladies’ Home Joural, writes a New York correspondent. It has made its titles famous by their uniqueness. Its ‘‘Side-Talks With Girls.”’ ‘‘Heart to Heart Talks’’ and “Unknown Wives of Well--Known Men” have been ridiculed and paraph- rased from end of the country to the other. But it has all been grist for the Philadelphia periodical. Just now the title of ‘The Inner Experiences of a Cabinet Member’s Wife’’ is attract- attention. Julia Magruder’s new love- story is giyen the title of ““A Heaven- Kissing Hill’? —taken from Shakes- peare, realy, but who but the Journal would have thought of it? Marion Crawford’s new story is called ‘‘The Dead Smiele”’ -a title good enough to sellany story. “The Men I Never Married” is tacketoa new series. “The Man Under Thirty-five’ made the reputation of Lilian Bell in this magazine. ‘‘My Literary Passions,”’ under which Mr. Howells wrote in the Journal, served atonce to attract at- tention. Julian Hawthorne sends a strong story to the magazine, but with a poor title. It is immediately rechris- tened ‘Thre are no wolves in Ire- land.”’ Yet each title adopted by this clever magazine fits the story and is really the best capton for it. “A Minister of the World” started that story on its success. ‘‘Mr. Beecher as 1 Knew Him’ was an inimitable tile for Mrs. Beecher’s memoirs of her husband. ‘‘The Gentleman Who is Going to Die” is the capton for a forthcoming story by Clara Morris. Talk about cleverness in titles, what magazine is such a pastmaster in the artasis The Ladies’ Home Journal? And any newspaper man knows how difficult this art of title-making is But nothing is as valuable in attracting the eye of the public. THE WASHINGTON: BEE. A COLORED HOME. A worRTHY OBJECT. Senator Perkins of the Committee on Education and Labor, has submit- ted a favorable'report on the bill to provide a home for aged and infirm colored people. The bill was intro- duced December 15 last, and proposes to establish the institution upon lands in this city, andif it becomes a law, would make use ofa sum of money now in the Treasury which is due the estate of deceased colored soldiers. This sum is that remaining from the moneys certified to be due to colored soldiers, and which has not been paid out because of the lack of properly certified claims against it. The law governing the proper adjudication of these claims requires that the heirs of the deceased soldiers must prove their lawful marriage relation by rec- ord evidence, and that to be certified to by a notary public or clerk of the court in the several States. No mar- riage record of slaves was however, kept, andin a great many instances the requisite proof cannot be made, and the money claimed cannot in consequence, be paid out to individ- AT THE THEATRES.
