The President on Temperance.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Several days
ago delegation from the Order Of Good
Templars of the District of Columbia
called on the President and left with him
written address, urging him to make
diligent inquiry into the personal habits
and associations of the persons whom he
should appoint to Office in the District,
and to see to it that the statutes enacted
for the government of the District,
especially those relating to regulating
the liquor traffic and the suppression OF
intemperance, are properly enforced.
The President has communicated his
reply to DR.. Warrall, who was chairman
of the delegation, and this was reported
to mass meeting of the lodges of Good
Templars of Washington at q meeting
to-day. In reply to the address the Pres
ident said:
"I read your address late last night
with great. interest. 1t is something
tangible, and if all men would come to
me as you have my labor would be great
ly lessened. The temperance people are
good people, and the friends of law and
order. Before l left New York I deter.
mined to give the District good Gov.
ernment, but there are 80 many conflict
ing claims I am sometimes at loss to
know what to do, but you come with
clear statements of which l will take
further notice."

The Question of Color.

WASHINGTON, May IA hig hly SEN
sational scene was to-day enacted at the
First Presbyterian Church. As is well
known President Cleveland is pew
holder in that church, therefore vacant
seats have been at o premium ever since
it was determined that the Presidential
family would worship there. Recently a
pew directly in front of that rented by
the President became vacant. 1t was
Immediately secured and but few MEM
bers of the congregation knew to whom
it had been rented. This morning their
curiosity vas gratifed when Frederick
Douglass, the colored recorder of deeds,
accompanied by his white wife and two
friends entered the church and took pos
session Of the pew. :.
The congregation became 30 excited
that they paid very little attention to the
divine services. Neither the President
nor any of his family were in attendance.
Nevertheless, great excitement prevailed
when, at the conclusion of the service,
DR.. Sunderland descended from the pull.
pit and greeted Recorder Douglass and
his party cordially. The elders, deacons
and members of the congregation did
not leave the church until they had
expressed their indignation at the minis
ter's conduct in unmistakable language.
An informal meeting of the congrega-
tion was held on the spot, and it was
agreed that Fred. Douglass should be re-.
quested to relinquish his right to hold a
pew in the church. Otherwise the con.
gregation would secede.
It is alleged that Douglass on a previ-
Gus occasion almost ruined the Church
by lecture which he was permitted to
deliver from the pulpit, and therefore he
was considered an Improbable member:
For q time excitement ran high and
the scene was intensely dramatic.
1t is said that Douglass rented the pew
through personal friend, and that his
idea is to establish a friendly relationship
with the President through the church,
and by that means retain his Office as
recorder of deeds.

The fight for the Collectorship Of the
Port Of Charleston continues to be an
absorbing theme with the friends of the
several applicants, the bitterness
between the friends ST Capt. Walker
and Mr.. Mowry increasing as the
fight progresses. There is disposi-
ton on the part of many persons to
confne disappointment as far as possible
to one Of these gentlemen, but we trust
it viii not be permitted to succeeded, for
in our judgment, none of the names pre-
sented for the position come anywhere
near to possessing the claims upon the
party and the State which Gen. John D.
Kennedy presents. He has been con-
spicuous in every struggl through which
the party has passed since the war. In
every instance his party zeal and effective
service have added much to the strength
and spirit of the party, and at personal
sacrifice he has given his time and abili-
ties to the party service when neither OF
his opponents we're heard Of in political
service. We do not mean to insinuate
that either of them failed to render the
service which private duty calls for from
individuals, but we think that the men
who bore the labors of the party service
should be given the preference in official
positions over men who made no sacri-
fees in the greatstruggles through which
we have passed. Gen. Kennedy has
borne himself nobly on all occasions
where devotion to party and abnegatlon
of self required the manifestation Of
higher principle than is ordinarily found
& to actuate men. He is, we believe, the
decided ayorite of the people Of the
State for the position, and we think ne is
entitled to the position. His appoint
ment would satisfy the people of the
entire State, and settle the Charleston
dispute. i9

practiced upon our citizens by foreign

years ago made Commodore Ingrham the

thus, if the nomination had not been
made, and how could Maj. Morgan quote
the paper until ii had been issued Thus
proving conclusively, that this pamphlet
was written after the nomination, and in
furtherance of a Republican candidate
for the Presidency. Could q man who
was feal to the Democratic party be
guilty of such treachery?
The pamphlet concludes with the in
formation, that Guiteau's bullet put an
end to Mr.. Blaine's projects, and conse'
quently his third idea of convoking an
American international Congress was
never consummated.
From this synopsis of the contents o.

The DetecJtVe Camera.

Curious evidence has been obtained
by member of the Property Owners
ASSOCIATION, now engaged in an attempt
to clear vice out of the mercantile pOr-
ticn of Sixth avenue. New York.
Warned by previous experience that
the police will testify when the cases IN
preparation are brought up in court
that the aSsalled establishments are not
wicked and that the excise laws are not
broken in them, this earnest investiga-
tor has used camera to some purpose
The rotten neighbOrhOod is brilliantly
lighted at night by electricity. The
city's street lamps there are electrical,
and these are reinforced by those hung
in front of saloons. The interiors also
of the dance houses, Co ce gardens
and variety shows are glarlngly iliumi-
mated. Armed with a pocket camera
for taking instantaneous views, he has
made over "A hundred negatives, the
prints from which show the character
of the nuisances beyond the possibility
of a contradiction, In every case the
camera was used after one O'Clock in
the morning, when the sale Of intOxi-
cants is supposed TO have stopped. The
street scenes, showing thrOngs of men
and girls entering and emerging from
the doOTways, were obtained without
difficulty, for only a seconds exposure
of the lens, like the flash OF a dark
lantern, was required in each case.
Sixty of these were made without at
tracing any attention. Then he un-

A Combination Bird.

In South America, says Mr.. Robert
RidGway, the OrnithOlOgiSt, native In
dians are largely engaged in hunting
birds for the trade. Recently in one
consignment, 1900 hummmg-birds
were sent from Brazil to PARIS. 'SOme-
times, =" says Mr. Ridgway. ''the natives
will make up bird by attaching feath-
ers to it that do not rightly belong to it
to give it an attractive appearance.
They do this very skillfully. and, of
course, It makes no difference to the
lady who wears IT on her bonnet, and is
more particular about the effect Os
colOrs than scientific truth. n bird
fell into the hands of an English Orni-
thOlOgist some time ago, and he suppO-
sed he had a great prize. He had
described it at length in a cOmmunIca-
tiOn 10 a scientific society ard published
illustrations of il. 1t turned out to be
a combination bird, made up by one OF
these Indians, and constructed very per
fectly. The wings and tail of one va
riety of bird mad been attached to the

GA remarkable discovery made last
winter, is attracting wide spread inter

question,-that of public health, 1t Is
being discussed by eminent physicians
and public men. 1t is shown conciu-
sNely that throat and lung troubles can
be cured without resorting to the use oi

and hospitals and charitable institutions
in Philadelphia and other cities use It

The raisin growing districts OF this
country are desperately fighting the
importation of foreign raisins on the
plea of the danger that may exist OF
bringing the seeds of cholera along with
the packages which are imported from
the cholera infected countries of Spain.
California Is the only raisin growing
part of the United Statesand producers
in that State cannot be blamed for
seeking home market for their prod
ucts. The claim they urge of danger
of Infection from imported raisins IS
not baseless. The Spanish ralsins are
picked and dried by the peasants, the
drying process being carried on in the
open air and in the miserable novels
they call houses. The sickness of a
member of family with the cholera
or any other infectious disease does not
put stop upon the business of drying
the fruit, witch in the process of dry
ing is peculiarly susceptible to the ab-
sorptiOn of anything that may be float
ing in the air or that may cling to the
utensils in which the fruit is placed in
the process of curing.
From the picking OF the grapes to
packing of the raisins preparatory TO
shipment there is constant liability that
the prevalent germs may be inclosed
and shipped to foreign country. In
the opinion of eminent sanitary author
tiles in New York no such danger ex-
lists, yet these same authorities are Will
ling and anxious that rags imported
from foreign countries shall be thor
oughly fumigated and disinfected be-
fore being received INTO this country.
Many well authenticated cases of small
pox have been traced directly to the
rag bale, and why not cholera as well
If in the rag bale, why not IN the rails
ins that are picked and cured In an at
mosphere thoroughly impregnated with
the cholera germs? The danger ap-
pears to be as imminent from one
source as the other. The principal
raisin producing region of Spain has
been the greatest sufferer from cholera,
which disease prevailed in its greatest
intensity just IN the grape picking and
drying season.
