MELENDEZ KING, ESQ., AD- DRESSES SECOND BAP- | TIST LYCEUM ON “THE | RIGHTS OF MAN.” \ A large and representative audi- ence greeted Mr. L. Melendez King at the Second Baptist Lyceum last Sunday afternoon and entered into enthusiastic discussion of his address on “The Rights of man.” Mr. King traced the growth and development of human rights among the peoples ef the world, giving special empha- sis to the tendency of all nations who,} as they appreciated enlightenment through civilization, to recognize without regard to sex the inherent and endowed rights of all humanity. He pointed out, in the clearest man- ner, that all rights, whether of lib- erty, property, or the franchise, in democracy, or monarchy, were pred- icated fulfilment of one’s duty to society. In touching on the rights to enjoy the franchise of a democracy or a republic, he pointed out the necessity of the better pre- pared element of his race taking a more active interest in formulating the plans and policies for the train- ing of the adult as well as the youth in the duties of civic virtue. “An opportunity, not only for ob- servation but for action,” said he, “lies at our very door today, and you, my friends, need only to look into the columns of the daily press or to walk about the streets and ob- serve the groups of unguided and un- prepared men discussing the quadren- nial selection of men to represent the Capital of this great nation in a na- tional convention to name its Chief Executive. I have listened with upon the | growing impatience to our many or- jators and thinkers who demand, and justly so, that our race be standard- ized by men like our own Frederick Douglass and our Booker T. Wash- ington, but so long as you permit the submerged, because neglected, masses of our people to remain in ignorance of civic duty and race pride, you must expect to be rated by their standard, and so long as you neglect to give your time and your service to their moral, mental and spiritual uplift, you cannot complain of the rating given your race. You cannot get away from your people; you should not want to get away from them, and I do not believe that you do; but I do know that unless you men ,and you women too, make your influence felt for civic righteousness in your local situation now and at all times, that your rights will be re- stricted and your standard as citi- zens will be rated just in proportion as you permit the unprepared, and in fa too many instances, unfit rep- resentatives of our race to be led into a barbaric demonstration of de- mand for privileges, without the thought of performing, or the record of having performed, any of the sim- pler civic duties. “My friends,” he continued, “the unlettered and untutored of our peo- ple are not to blame; it is rather you and I; they are ready to respond, not words and idle vaporings to alone, but appeal to you and to me to teach by example, as well as by precept, the social, moral, and civic virtues that will make our rating as a great race, growing up within a greater nation and an integral part thereof, respond to standards as set for all people who may well demand the rights and priviliges and recog- nitions which must follow the fulfil- ment of every civic obligation. “And, finally, my people, in all matters. affecting the rights of human kind, if we would enjoy them as we | should, we must demand by conquest, in the meeting of every social, civic and moral obligation, and not accept them as any temporary bequest as a patrimony for having been used, and I can join you in voicing what we all believe and know, that the future of the individual, the race, the natiog, and allhumanity is absolutely secure if we only do our duty.” The Widows’Pension Bill has pass- ,ed the House and Senate, and gives the soldiers’ widows $12 instead of $8; amended, so that no proof of dependence be required. Upon recommendations of the Su- perintendent M. P. and Commission- ers, the cab stand at Sixth and B streets northwest will go; also the The H. E. African Baptist Church, First street between D and E, was destroyed by fire last week; covered by insurance. Payment by the Government of millions to ex-slaves of the South and heirs was asked of the House Committee on Banking and Curren- cy last week by Representatives of the Freedmen’s Savings and Trust Company. The Commissioners will not tax old-book dealers of the District of Columbia. either day or evening classes Greek, these latter classes being, for the most part, taught by native teachers. The success which has at- tended the efforts of Mr. Davis along this line, and the reasonable rates charged for instruction in any of the above mentioned subjects, justifies the prediction that the large, airy, and well-lighted rooms selected for the new location of his business col- lege will be crowded with young men and women who desire practical bus- iness training by practical teachers of many years’ experience. Profes- sor Davis is the official stenographer of the National Negro Business League, having reported its conven- tions held in New York city, Atlan- ta, and Topeka, Kansas. He has had nineteen years’ practical experience as stenographer, typewriter, and ‘bookkeeper among prominent lawyers, ,national banks, trust companies and in the public service. At one time he was private secretary to the mayor of his home town, Louisville, Ky. Shorthand work, including verbat- im reporting, typewriting, fancy pen-| manship on visiting cards, invita- tions, etc., as well as engrossing of over two white Republicans in at- diplomas and other documents, will be neatly and accurately done at rea- sonable rates. New classes are being formed, and those desiring to enter either as be- ginners or as advanced students would do well to write or call at the residence of the principal, No. 1701 ‘Tenth street. —— The proper way to cut soldiers out of the army is: First, charges and specifications; second, court-martial to investigate said charges; third, findings and recommendations ;fourth, final action by the War Department; fifth, appeal to the President, if un- able to get satisfaction from the War Department; but in the case of the Twenty-fifth the President assumed original jurisdiction, like was done ing to solve. As a result of investigations of the evils of the schools of Washington, D. C., they consist of wooden stair- ways, irregular exits, antiquated fire escapes, doors that open inward, un- !protected floors over furnaces, un- ‘suitable fire signals, buildings with Jone staircase only, etc. Last Friday Senator Carter, 3f Montana, excoriated Sidney Bieber in the case of the Anacostia Flats. The “Abe Reuf of Washington” was one of the characterizations given Bieber by the Senator, who in his speech on the matter fairly scorched and sizzled ieber. No such arraignment of an individual has been heard at the Cap- itol for years. The Senator also de- nounced the tax title sharks, said to have been operating here for a long time. Last Friday Senator Bacon of Georgia, in the course of debate, at tacked the President for usurpation of authority; also alleged efforts on the part of the White House to co- erce Congress into following the Ex- ecutive will.

When the scum arises let it simmer gently for about an hour, then strain it through a fine sieve or nap- kin, let it stand ten minutes to settle, and then pour off the clear tea. An onion and a few grains of black pepper may be added. If the meat is boiled till it is thoroughly tender you may mince it and pound it make potted beef. Banana Split. Remove the skin from a banana, leaving the skin whole, fill it with ice cream, pour some kind of fruit sirup or maple sugar sauce over the ice cream, lay two or three maraschino cherries on top if it is fruit sirup, or sprinkle crushed nuts, if it is maple sugar sauce. Lay the peeled banana on one side in same plate, if oblong plates are used, or slice and place around the ice cream if round plates. Invalid’s Coftee.
