Philadelphia, June 6.
The weather the past week has
been exceedingly warm, although
several times the clouds lowered
heavily and threatened US with
heavy showers, but alas we ac-
eepted our portion in disappoint-
ment, as the world is full of it.,

LOUISE To CLARA

Dear Clara:-I have just con-
cluded reading the comments of
the press On the marriage of Miss
Folsom to the president. Indeed
it was an event of National impor-
tauce. [ am sure that she will con-
duet The social affairs of the White
House with dignity and honor.
The man to whom she has been
married has proven himself an
honor to the nation. She is one
of us and while we a'e precluded
from enjoying the hospitalites Of
the Mansion / entertain for our
Chief Executive the highest res
gard. Our race will at any time
forgive wrong, and [ am
sure from what [ have learned
of the president, he has no
prejudice to color. The
NEW LADY
of the White House is gifted with
sublime intellect. True as the Re
public says that there are being
formed social cl.ques to capture
the lady. Mrs Cleveland knows
what society to select. She does
not talk much, she is like the pres.
ijent, what she intends to do will
be done.
THE SOCIAL SEASON
will be lively next winter. 1t will
be one of the gayest and most
fashionable that has ever been wit

When the program was submit

When the program was submit
ted to us for recommendations and
suggestions, We rotested that he
was not suitable person to be
made chairman of that important
committee; but our protest went
for nothing.
Now The executive committee
has no alternative. 1t must act as
indicated above, and at once, and
make public announcement of its
ACTON Louisiana Standard.
TIE above is the concluding
paragraph in an article concerning
us. This journalistic crank OF
Louisiana got angry with us like
few other dirty blackguard sheets,
because we refused to exchange.
OF course bis protest had no effect
on the chairman of The executive
committee; we never asked for
the craftsmanship ofthe committee
on Southern Outrages, but as We
have been made chairman we pro-
pose to show that just such ctauks
as Martinez of the Standard should
be identified with those who out
ragged Negroes in the South. The
protest OF such asses as the editor
of the Standard was made against
us before we could crawl. Pro-
tests and condemnatlons coming
from certain Negroes do not effect
us. If our enemies we're to speak
kindly of us we would not succeed

STOP MY PAPER.

After you get on your ear and

water and then pull it out and
look for the hole. Then you will
know how sadly you are missed.

WHAT?

AS vacation approaches, the alb.
sorbing question with which the
anxious parent must deal la: What
shall we do with our boys and
girls? And this is indeed a ques-
ton. 1t is true that the children
who have been attending school, ,
need recreation--sOme rest from
the labors of school; but recreation
and rest do not mean idleness.
The children should be allowed to
play, to be sure, for they have
fairly earned a title to that kind
of enjoyment; but they should also
be made to devote share of the
time which the vacation enforces
in mental exercise, IN order that
their minds may not become en-
tirely divorced from the studies of
the year just passed. But the
question is still unsettled, What
shall we do with our boys and
girls? The parents desire that the
boys devote much of their time to
industrial employment and the
girls to some avocation which will
develop a taste for the useful and
artistic; but where can this en-
ployment be found? Are there no
industrial schools where boys and
girls can spend an hour or two
each day? There may be some
way by which the parents might
get together and form a school by
engaging a teacher aud furnishing
utensils aud material for the work.
A small printing office might be
gotten up and a teacher employed
to instruct youths. A juvenile
carpenter shop, paint shop or a
timer shop could be easily formed
and managed during the vacation
with excellent results. Schools
teaching sewing, drawing and ar
tistic painting might be formed by
some of our refined and accom-
pIished school teachers, wh;

The Junior Excelsiors, of which
Mr.. w. "A. Stewart is president,
will give an excursion to Mt. v err
non Springs, July End. This is
one of the most popular clubs IN
the city, and there is no doubt but
that these young men will have a
success. MIR. Stewart is success

are composed of some of our finest
young men. Let us encourage
this excursion, as the club will
very shortly commence to build a

There seems to be some misun-
derstanding between the two fac
tons Of the Orpheus Glee Club.
There has been organized an Or
pheus Musical and Social club.
The old Orpheus Glee club claims
that the gentlemen who compose
the Musical aud Social club have
no right to use the name of the
Orpheus In the first place the
Original Orpheus club disbanded
several months ago and reorganiz-
ed by electing new officers. The
members who withdrew from the
Glee club, which was the cause of
the disbandment, organized an
Orpheus Musical and Social club.
This Musical and Social club Is
composed of Henry Johnson, Rubt.
Tompkins, w. II. Black, j.. W.
Cole, Maj. G. A. Fleetwood and
others. There is long list OF
honorary members consisting of
Recorder Douglass, Elk register B.

and others. There are two sets
of invitations out, one by the Or
pheus Musical and Social club and
the other by the Orpheus Glee
club. 1t Is a social misunderstand-
ing and the organization that has
the most money will win. I have
no idea how the affair will be set
tied, but it is presumed that both |
will have a large crowd. The in-
vitations of the Musical and Soci,
al club are out and of a unique
character. 1 heard one If the

The discovery of the Federal ju-
ry, at Seattle, Wash. Jerry,
which reveals a conspiracy ealculat-
ed to unsettle American institu-
tions and precipitate a revolution
bloody and disastrous. The jury
charged that there is a powerful
organization with numerous branch
es scattered all over the country
and directed by the most ineendia-
ry and rabid socialists and foreign
revolutionists whose object and
purpose is to instruct the members
of the organization in the arts of
destruction and the successful use
of dynamite and other engines OF
destruction. 1t is their purpose to
use every species of diplomacy, se-
duction and craft to keep up a
continuous disturbance between the
labor organization and the capital
lists in order to defeat every hope
of Cancellation.
If there is any good ground for
this so called discovery, it should
be a warning to all classes of good
American citizens to guard we'll
their interests by vigilance and
the use of every means of neutral
izing the attempts of evll-designing
foreigners to destroy our govern
ment and reduce our country to a
state of chaos. The colored people
should do their duty; for consider
ing their weakness and their sus-
ceptibility to the false light which
unprincipled men are disposed to
place before them they should be
mindful of their passed experience
and be ready to spurn every ad-
vance which will surely be made
by these destroy ers OF peace and
order aud show that we possess a
love of country and belief in the
ultimate benefits of American insti-
tutions and American Justice.

VALUE OF FOODS.
Unhealthfulness of Diet Which Requires
the Aid of Stimulants.

Unhealthfulness of a Diet Which Requires
the Aid of Stimulants.
It has come to this, that the simplest
articles of diet are the safest, and that
is, in my opinion, another argument in
favor of plain living. Yes, the simplest
are the safest, and let me add, the best
are the cheapest. The butcher, for ex-
ample, or the egg merchant, can not
adulterate his wares, but he may have
several qualities; and there is a stage
at which ali animal foods arrive, when
kept in shops, which renders them to
large extent poisonous, and this is as
bad, if not worse, than adulteration.
We often hear it said that shop eggs,
as they are called, are good enough for
frying, with bacon for example. This
is a positive mistake; an egg that has
even suspicion of staleness about it is
deleterious to health, not to say danger
GUS, no matter whether it be fried OF
boiled. And the same may be said of
flesh meats of all kinds. and will not ex-
sept a hare or venison. | am quite
prepared to have this little sentence
pooh-poohed by the robust and healthy.
only said that / adhere to it. and that
[ have the courage of my convictions,
and furthermore. that | have invalids
and dyspeptics, and those with delicate
digestions in my thoughts as | write.
[ grant you, my healthful athlete,
who can tramp over the moors
with gun and bag from morning dawn
till dewy eve, and never feel tired, that
he eating of long-kept game may mo-
seem to injure you, but the bare faci'
that piauant sauces and stimulants are
needed to aid digestion, is exceedingly
suspicious. There are two animals in
particular that like their food high and
tender; one is the crocodile, the other
our friend the dog; both have wonder
fully strong digestive powers; little in
ferior, in point of fact, to that OF the
ostrich, about which bird so many fanci-
full stories have been written and told.
1t may be said, without much fear OF
contradiction, that any kind of food or
any mixed diet or meal which requires
the aid of stimulant, either of the nature
of condiment or wines, is not salutary.
Such diet as this Is tax upon the whole
system, and causes heat and discom-
fort, and feverish state of the blood,
which can only end in debility of the
nervous system, and more or less OF
prostration.
But those who would obtain the great
est amount of health and comfort from
the food they eat must be most careful
in its selection. Leaving idiosyncrasy
out OF count for the present, although
every one ought to know what agrees
with him and what does not, there are
many things connected with the value
and digestibility of food obtained from
various sources that do well to remind
the reader Of Cdsselps Family NagG-
zine.

Cheese Toast: Make some slices OF

then pour the mixture on the toast and

Boiled Onions: Peel the onions stand
ing over the fire, or throw them into
boiling water, as this will prevent their
hurting the eyes. Put them into plenty
of well-salted boiling water, and let
them boil gently for an hour and halt
or two hours, or until so tender that
they would easily mash up. Drain
them and serve either plain, in gravy,
or tossed in little butter in 4 stewpan

The French. who export more pears
than any other nat on, cover the inside
of the boxes with spongy paper or dry

Each pear is then wrapped in soft pa

tom, filing all interstices with the dry
moss. Thus they will keep month or
more. They are so closely packed that,
though they can not touch each other,
all motion IS prevented. If one decays
the others are not harmed.
-"Quis-quis," in New York Tribune,
quotes an old farmer as saying he never
knew a whstling laborer who gave any
trouble about his food, lodging or any
little extra work. Such men are gener-
ally kind and genial to children and to
animals of all degrees; they come around
him without fear. Generally, such men
have clear consciences, clear tongues
and morals, and are safer among the
young people than the majority of
strolling hands are, whose presence
among them. when not guarded, is
pollution and perdition.

A SPiNSTER'S TRAGEDY.
Tho Cruel Awakening Which Awaited
Loving Old Maid.

Loving Old Maid.
fsan Francisco Chroncle.l
Iknew an old maid who had the last
twenty y-fve years of her life embttered
by singular disappointment. She had
loved. never knew an old maid who
hadn't. He had gone away to a distant
land and sworn an oath that he would
never marry. Her father had kicked him
out of the house; that was really what had
separated them. Shc wasn't to blame,
except that her love for him had kept
him until the old man caught up with
him, so to speak. He swore he would al
ways be true TO her, that he couldn't
drenm of marrying anybody else, and all
that sort OF thing, you know. just what
you've said yourself frequently. She was
not allowed to correspond with him until
she was oil enough not to want to. She
cherished the dream and loved
him mainly because no other
man tried to dispel it. Years had passed,
and one day she got a letter with the
Hong Kong postmarl. and the tears came
to her eyes as she looked at the dear old
hand writing. He was coming home
would arrive on a certain date. There
came flutter to her heart. She opened
an old camphor- wood trunk he had sent
her from Japan years and years before.
and she took out bundle of old, faded
letters. One by one she opened and read
them. Out of their worn pages fell the
petals Of dead, dried roses. pale, colorless
yiolets, little bits of maiden-hair fern,
flowers that might have been any thing to
hat hoI
bloom, but that were precious with asso-
Citations. All, how the year dropped
from her memory as she looked upon those
dim sha adowed messages from the past.
Gray haired, fond grandmother, heart
and soul wrapped in the love of your
dear pet daughters dear pet daugh-
ter, go up to that little room and
open that oil old covered box you keep
where no eyes but your own can find
it, and look once more upon the yellow
leaves whose fragrance bore the happy
love of youthful lover half century ago.
Ah me! the roses are not half SO sweet to-
! day; and the pale, dead marigold that
falls in pieces at your feet has still a beauty
far beyond them all.
But let US go back to the old maid. She
waited with impatience for the day to
come when she should be united to her old
sweetheart. No cruel father with hob
nailed boot could come between her and
her love now. The day came, but he did
not. Sac thought he'd go to a hotel. She
did not want to be seen asking for him, Sc
she called the boy and asked him TO copy
the names of the arrivals that day. She
was walking up and down the floor until
he came back. He returned and handed
her card, which read:
"Mr. - and wife, five children and
three Chinese servants, from Hong Kong"
