A Sketch Of the Social Life Of That Race
Resident In Washingtoa.
There is an aristocracy among the
colored people of Washington as we'll
as among the white. and it is quite ex-
elusive. The caste is very strictly
marked, and it is as difficult for .

trash" to gain admission to the circle
Of the equality" negroes. The focus
or pole around which the heightened
colored society revolves is the Fifteenth
Presbyterian Church, which stands in
an sristocratic section of the city-Mc-
Pherson Square.
The Leading men in this church are
Ex-senator Bruce. DR.. Purvis, John
LangstOn. late Minister to Hayti, who
has recently been elected president Of
q colored college in Virginia; Prof.
Greener, who is in charge Of the Grant
monument fund; the Wormleys. who
are proprietors of the most aristocratic
hotel here; George Cook, the superin-
tendent of colored schools; John F.
Cook, the collector of taxes of the Dis
trict, and others of the creme de Ia
creme. The pastor of this church is
Rev. Mr.. Grinke, young man of about
thirty-five years, who was graduated at
Lincoln University with the valedictory
Of his class, and studied theology at
Princeton. Fred Douglass does not
worship here, but lives in q suburban
village called UniOntOwn and belongs
to the Baptist denomination. Since he
married a white woman he has not
been received as cordially as before,
in the aristOcratic circles of his race,
who thought he might have found q
spouse of his own color in better taste.
Congressman O'Hara, of North Caro-
lima, is q member of the coterie, but,
singularly enough, he and his wife are
Catholics and attend st. Augustine's
Church.
Mrs. O'Hara is one of the loveliest
ladies in Washington and we're in not
for the slight trace of negro blood in
her veins she would be the leader in
white society. Like Mrs. Bruce, who
is also beautiful, she is q highly edu-
Gated and accomplished woman, speaks
French, plays Beethoven, paints
plaques and is up in art and literature
to q degree that would make some of
her white sisters blush for envy. Both
Mrs. Bruce and O'Hara are very nearly
white and it would be difficult for q
stranger to detect their relation to the
African race. Mrs. O'Hara has a
white governess for her children and
intends that they shall be as accom-
plished as herself.
These people have their own society,
give balls, dinner parties receptions
and other entertainments and paw
formal visits on regular reception days,
Just like the ladies of official life.
At "high tea" or ball given by
this circle of the cOlored aristocracy
one can find quite as much intelligence,
quite as much beauty and quite as
much grace of manner as will be
gathered at any of the swell receptions
of white folks. Both gentlemen and
ladies appear in full evening dress and
the costumes of the ladies are duly des-
cribed in the Sunday Bee, the organ of
the heightened cOlored residents of the
District, Times.

He Was a Prophet.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Prof. DevOe, of
HackenSack, who came to Washington to
wrestle with the weather problem, has been
thrown in the first round. The professor on
Friday week last announced the glOomiest
weather imaginable to prevail: until the 18th,
when the climax would be reached in a
heavy fall of snow. The minute the pro-
fessor announced gloomy weather the skies
cleared, and the sun and moon took turns
making Washington life thoroughly enjoy
able. The professor will probably retire to
his rural retreat to evolve another infallible
system OF weather prophecy.

COST OF FEEDING.

What 1t Costs to Keep q Cow In Good
Condition.
The cost of feeding cow is an ele-
ment of some interest in the dairy.
There are many dairy farms upon which
some selling crops are grown and feed
is purchased with the money. At times
this is profitable operation. When
crops can be grown that will sell for
one hundred dollars up to several
hundred dollars per acre. it is far more
profitable to raise these and buy feed
for the cows, if only the manure is left
Is profit. There are many districts.
where dairying is an established and
profitable business, in which manure
is worth three dollars a ton. So that
the keeping of cows upon purchased
food. and the growing of market
crops, hops, small fruits, tobacco and
other special products, may be COM
bined conveniently and protitably.
In these cases the cows will be kept
partly or wholly upon soiling. Then
the question arises: What does it cost
to keep a COW?
A cow of moderate size, as a Jersey,
Ayrshire. Devon or ordinary native,
will consume from twenty to twenty
five pounds of fodder daily; the fodder
being less in amount as the feed is in
creased. And here an important point
comes up, for sometimes food can be
purchased as cheap as fodder. Bran
and corn meal are at times as cheap as
hay. And generally the difference in
this respect is so small that it always
pays to use hay or fodder only in such
an amount as will effect the perfect di-
gestion of the finer food. The writer
uses regular ration of ten pounds of
fodder and ten pounds of meal daily.
and this has been found in several
years practice the best for the produc-
ton Of milk, or fifteen to twenty-five
cents daily. equal TO one and One-half
to two and One-half cents quart for
ten quarts of milk, or fifteen to twenty
five cents per pound of butter.
MANY useful considerations occur
from this fact. How many cows fail to
pay for what they eat? How many
farmers could better afford to give away
their cows and sell the feed and grain
consumed? How many farmers might
make a good profit by feeding some
meal instead of hay. and SO increasing
the product of milk? How much more
profitable il is to keep a good COW than
4 poor one? How-but space would
fail to follow up this questioning to the
end, and we leave the rest for our read
ers to cogitate over.-The Dairy.

THE DAIRY.

The cow value of heifer calf is
not SO evident in her build or points
as in the number of good milking an
cestors she has back of her.-Jeterson
County Union.
Hog butter, OK butter, bull butter.
COW butter. Take your choice if you
can tell the difference. If you can not.
buy your butter direct from some dairy
woman.-Forest. Forge and Farm.
"A COW should never be allowed to
skip q milking, as the retention of SO
large q volume of milk in the udder
will inflame it and injure the quality of
the milk. and perhaps the udder also.
Rural Nes0 Yorker.
There are fewer cows in proper
ton to the population of the country
than there were thirty-five years ago.
The low prices of butter can hardly be
due, then, to over-prOduction. Bogus
butter must be largely to blame for the
depression of dairy interests.-Fdr7n.
Field and Stockmdn.
1t is natural that there should be
shrinkage in butter in tubs. but If the
butter has been carefully made and
worked. the shrinkage will be in the
tubs. which being fully soaked before
filling. dry out in the air. If the net
weight Of the butter is given, the
shrinkage will be little.-The Dairy.
The Caltirdtor seems to think that
cows in milk should have one-half tea
spoonful to u tablespoonful of fine
ground bone every day. We have
never found benefit therefrom. What
cows in milk really need is plenty of
varied food. They will then get the
bone-making material in the natural
way. 1t is by no means demonstrated
that the feeding of bones to cattle ends
in their being assimilated to any con-
siderable extent.-Pr0irieF Farmer.

Britain. That the Associated Pres
was fully alive to the importance Of
the occasion, and had resources en-
tirely adequate TO cope with 1t, is
evidenced by the results achieved.
Bulletins announcing the defeat Of

THE MASS MEkTING.

The Democratic mas meeting to be
holden on Saturday should be one Of
the largest ever held in Shelby county.
We are on the eve Of important cum.

Shelby county should turn out and by
their enthusiasm and numbers strike
terror TO the enemy, which we can de-
feat as we have defeated by over
whelming majorities. The object Of
the meeting is fully disclosed in the
call OF the Executive Committee. But
in addition to the duty of selecting
delegates to the State Convention, the
Democracy Of Shelby county will, in
no uncertain voice, proclaim Its choice

would be an insult to the true and re-
liable Democrats Of the county TO en-
gage In the superlative work OF pledg-
ing themselves TO support the nominee
for Governor. With this determine.
ton prominently in view, the Demo-
Gratis Of Shelby county will send mes
asge to their party friends ia every
part of the State that their distin-
guiahed fellow citizen, Col. Robert F.
Looney, Is a man every way qualified
to discharge the duties OF the Office Of
Governor; q Democrat who has rem.
dered efficient service to his party; a
citizen capable, honest, able and every
way qualified, and having full con-
fidence in his integrity and ability to
give the people OF the State pure,
wise and economical administration,
our delegates will be instructed to sup
port him for the nomination. The Tren-

the person Of Col r. f. Looney, West

Bitter Feeling Against Chamber
lain at Cork

Cork, June S.-A very bitter feeling
is entertained here by the Ma ionalists
against Mr.. Chamberlain on account
OF his opposition to the home rule
bill.
The Globe, Conservative, says: The
division last night averted the dan.
ger Of the substitution of one m IN
power for parliamentary government.
A moet imperious, powerful and
despotic minister has been told that
the House OF Commons will
remain free and independent. This is
the heaviest fall that Gladstone has
ever received. His arrogance has
offended the most Influential of his
colleagues, and he is now surrounded
by puppets and is mainly dependent
on the PMnellites. He will Doubt, So
attempt TO regain his position.
He is imbued with a belief that
the British classes oppose him
and the British masses support him.
An election alone will dispel his illus
ion. His public career is practically
endel. 1t is TO be wished that it had
ended in q more patriotic way than in
an attempt to destroy the union for the
cake of party gain and the gratitics-
ton of personal ambition.
