RAZOR FLOuRISHERs.
Judge Mills Gives Two of Them TIT
Full Extent OF the Law.

Two colored razor flourishers were visited
by the severest penalty of the law at the
hands Of Judge Mills, this morning, for be-
ing armed with their chosen weapons.
Henry Schneider and William II. Hepburn
were the defendants. The evidence was to
the effect that Schneider was going off to
fight another man, when he was arrested and
the weapon found on him. A razor was
also found in the possession of Hepburn.
They were fined $50 each, in default of
which they were sent to the chain-gang for
three months.
Hepburn was also charged with being a
suspicious character. Mrs. George Il. Bur-
rows, Of 1924 Madison street, stated that
last Saturday the defendant watched her
premises, and yesterday he followed her to
market, and she afterward saw him hang
ing around the back gate, and finally dis
covered him up to the back door. The
proof was to the effect that he had no bust
ness on the premises, and was apparently
trying to commit robbery. He got three
months additional on this charge.

HYATTsvrLLE REPUBLICANS.
An Enthusiastic Meeting Last Might

An Enthusiastic Meeting Last Night
The Hyattsville Republican Club held Its
regular meeting last night, President f. IL
Smith in the chair. There was large at
tendance.
Mr.. Goodman was appointed a committee
of one to organize the Registration Com
mittee.
Mr.. Morse informed the club that the
Republicans in Bladonsburg had formed q
club which was now in good working order,
and invited all TO attend every Wednesday
evening, the regular meeting night in each
week until the election.
Mr.. X. J. Beall doubted the proprlety oi
having two clubs in the same voting dis
trict, but would work shoulder to shoulder
in any way for the success Of the cause,
and urged all present to go to work as ono
man and get every legal voter registered
and sec that on the day Of election they oil
voted.
Mr.. Carpenter was of the opinion that II
would be better TO have two clubs. Hc
thought some could not attend tho Hyatts
vile meeting on Friday night. He would
make it convenient to attend both. The
meeting adjourned to next Friday night.

claims are as small in amount as 81. They
aggregate about $4,000. Mr.. Randall said
that they were perfectly good claims and
ought to be paid.
But he said further that they could
not be put in any appropriation bill this
year, because it would swell the amount
that Congress put out from the Treasury
At the next session, he said, everything
would be all right and that provision would
be made for the claims Mr.. Randall

A VERY HARD HEAD.
How Man Was Hurt who Fell on
the PensiOn-Onice Building.

David Hughes, colored hod-carrier, fell
from the new Pension Office building last
Monday and sustained very serious injuries
of the right leg. He first fell distance of
twenty-five feet, his head striking on a
brick archway, aud bounding off this, he
fell to the ground, breaking his right leg in
two places, so that the bones stick out an
inch or so. Strange to say, he was in no
way injured about the head. DR.. Hamil-
ton Leach has been in attendance on the
man and reports him now in fair condi-
tion. Hughes head must have been good
deal harder than his legs.

IT was thought worth while to cable
from London Mr.. Leigh Smiths opinion of
cannibalism. Personally he would rather
die than eat human flesh" he says. And
probably said with stomach distended
with roast beef and 'alf-and-'alf.
tits always safe to assume that men who
talk as Mr.. Smith is reported to talk would
be the first to resort to cannibalism or any
thing else to save their lives. Braggarts
always run first. Men who parade their
honesty and boast of their integrity gener-
ally steal the first valuable thing that
comes in their way. Witness Carl Schurz
and his dependent gang.
The fact is no man can say what he would
do under the circumstances that environed
the Greedy party. Probably the great ma
jority would early succumb aud die. But
some would fight for life and preserve it by
any means left them. Aud they would be
justified in anything they did.

The claim by the Democrats of the
el@ction of Cleveland has had pitt
abe effect on some of the colored peo-
pie. One faithful old woman who
had served twenty-five years III one
family, believing that the coIored peo-
pie would be transported to Liberia,
expressed her hopes and fears with
"She didn't care who was president
but she hoped they would let her
stay in town. One thing she wished
he would punish women who took
other peoples husbands from them. !"
She had lost her husband that way.
Another woman from the country
broke into tears on Saturday in a
public store here saying -
Il have three children dead
and three living; but I am going to
kill ell three before the 4th Of March. y
She believed they were going into
slavery. The merchant and his clerk
succeeded in convincing her to the
contrary.
