Description. of the Model Which Took the
First Premium.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-The commits
sion to examine the plans and models for
the monument to be elected to General
Robert E. Lee at Richmond, Va, which
have been placed in Carroll Hall, have
rendered decision. Charles H. Niehans,
OF Cincinnati, who is the sculptor of the
bronze statue of Garfield at Cincinnati, a
marble replica of which has been deposited
in the statuary hail of the Capitol, won
the first premium. Mr.. Ezekiel won the
second, while the work of Alfred LAM
was mentioned as praiseworthy. The pedes-
tai on which the equestrian figure in Mr..
Nehaus's model stands is supported on
either side by two columns and two
caryatids in high relief. the caryatids rep
resenting Peace, Justice, Religion and
Patriotism. Below in front is a female
figure emblematic of Fame. on the sides
two other figures representing respectively
War and Charity. On the sides of the base
are represented in relief on one side the
departure and on the other the return of a
body of troops. All the figures except the
caryatidS are bronze.

COLORED HIGH LIFE.
A Sketch Of the Social Life Of That RI
Resident in Washington.

A Sketch of the Social Life of That Race
Resident in Washington.
There is an aristocracy among the
colored people of Washington As well
as among the white. and it is quite ex-
elusive. The caste is very strictly
marked, and it is as difficult for a
camel to 60 through the eye of needle
as for member of the class donated as
"trash" to gain admission to the circle
of the quality" negroes. The focus
or pole around which the heightened
colored society revolves is the Fifteenth
Presbyterian Church, which stands in
an aristocratic 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
a 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-ive 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 suburban
village called UniontOwn and belongs
to the Baptist denomination. Since he
married white woman he has not
been received as cordially as before,
in the aristocratic circles of his race,
who thought he might have found a
spouse of his own color in better taste.
Congressman O'Hara, of North Caro-
lima, is 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 were 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 a highly edu-
Gated and accomplished woman, speaks
French, plays Beethoven, paints
plaques and is up in art and literature
to a 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 a
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 pay
formal visits on regular reception days,
just like the ladies of official life.
At ''high tea'' or a ball given by
this circle of the colored aristocracy
'ne can find quite as much intelligence,
ute 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
Observation-Disclosures Times.

The Well known Temperance Orator Sue.
cumbs to the Attack of Paralysis
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 19.-JOhn B.
Cough, the eloquent temperance lecturer,
died at 4:4O O'clock yesterday afternoon a,
the residence of DR.. II. Bruce Burns In

BIOGRAPHICAL.
John B. Cough was born at SYNDICATE,
England, August %, 1917. He came to
America i'm 1929 and soon after became a
bookbinder's apprentice in New York. He
became Incorporate and was accustomed
to sing and recite in grog shops, where his
powers OF mimicry and action made
him favorite. He fell into great
poverty, but about 1910 took the tenn
perance pledge and soon began to lecture
on intemperance, both in America and
England. In time he added other subjects
and became a very popular orator. In No
vember. 1872. he recited one of his oratiOns
in New York, announcing that this would
probably be his last public appearance in
that city. He has published his autOblog-
raphv (1S46) and volume of orations

Won't Bounce Worth a Cent.

SEATTLE, w. r., Feb. 19.-When the
Cinnamon were driven out of Snohomis City
last week, those who had property interests
were made an exception, but were notified
that they were to leave by Monday. On
that day when told to 60. they refused.
Late that night dynamite cartridge
was exploded under their house,
wrecking the building but not injuring the
Cinnamon. The latter piuckily moved into
a portion of the building not destroyed
and reiterated their determination to stay
This morning a number of shots were fired
into the house but none of the occupants
were injured. At last accounts they were
still holding the post and declaring the
would not leave.

A SINISTER at Sedalia.

MARSHALL, Mo-, Feb. s0.-The receipt
here of the Sedalia papers, containing an
account of the actions and conduct of the
eloquent temperance lecturer, D. X. Shields,
in saloon at Sedalia, last night, created
quite an excitement. Shields is
Deputy G.. w. C. T. of Mis-
souri,, and has been engaged here
for the past four weeks delivering temper
ance lectures. There never was such a
temperance feeling worked up here before.
Through his efforts 1900 persons signed the
pledge and organized Good Templars'
Lodge with $50 members. A great many
here had no confidence in Shields, but
thought he was only working Tor the money
that was in it. which was $40 per lecture,
and his conduct at Sedala only strengthens
this belief.

sition are cited and discussed at great
length, and the report continues as fol-
lows:
"The committee feels safe in stating that,
from the research ii has made. the course of
the Government has been constant and con-
tinuous and unchanged from the beginning
until now, and that in its belief. no in
stance within the principles and limitations
before stated has occurred, in which calls
for official papers and flies, addressed either
to the President in the form of requests or
to the heads of departments in the form of
commands, have not been complied with,
but it has sometimes happened, where the
request to the President was merely con-
ditional one, leaving it to his discretion
whether the papers should be communica-
ted or not that they have not been COM
municated. The practical construction of
the constitution in these respects by
all branches of the Government for
so long period would seem upon
acknowledged principles to settle what are
the rights and powers of the two houses of
Congress in the exercise of their respective
duties covering every branch of the opera
tons of the Government, and 1t Is submit
ted with confidence that such rights and
powers are indispensable to the discharge
Of their duties and do not infringe any
right of the Executive, and that it does not
belong to either heads of departments or to
the President himself to take into consid-
Grafton any supposed motives or purposes
that either house may have in calling for
such papers, or whether the possession or
knowledge of their contents could be APP
piled by either house to useful purposes
sThe constitution of the United States
was adopted in the light of the we'll known
history that even Ministers of the English
crown were bound to lay before Parliament

instant dismissal of such Ministers on re-

Board of Trade Organization.

Mention was made last week that the
Medicine Lodge Board of Trade was
started with good membership, and
that board Of Is directors had been
elected. The articles of incorporation
were filed with the secretary of state,
and certified copy duly returned here.
Last Friday evening the directors met
and organized by the election of the
following officers: President, J. w. Nc
Neal; Vice-President. w. W. Cook;
Secretary, E. p. Caruthers; Treasurer,
+. T. Vincent.
This will prove to be a good working
force, the officers all being identified
with the progress of the city and coun-
ty. And now every business man and
property-owner in the city should at
once become members of the board of
trade. The membership fee is but fifty
cents, and the shares of stock will cost
but five dollars each. By the organiza-
ton of the board 4 permanent head is
formed for the consideration of the best
interests of the city and county.
If railroad wants to come here;
If mill man wants to submit a prop
| ositiOn;
If waterworkS proposition is made;
IL an electric light or heating compa-
ny desire to locate here;
If public hall or opera house is to
be built;
Ii a foundry, machine shop or factory
wants to locate here;
If there is talk of locating a state in
| stitution;
If a church or any other organization
wants to select 4 place for high school
or college.
liza railroad company wants to locate
machine shops;
In fact, if any public enterprise or
building is desired, the board of trade
can take hold and assist 1t can do
work that the city government is not
authorized to do, and it will be ready
and equipped for any emergency before
citizens meeting could be called to-
gether.
So, then, everybody should have a
good word for the board of trade. Give
your name to the secretary, or any OFF,
Ger, and don't say you were not invited
to join.
Everybody is wanted
