MISS POPES' CASE.
TRUSTEE FRANCIS AND SUPERVISING
PRINCIPAL MONTGOMERY sUS-
TANNED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT.

1t has always been the object
OF the BEE to give a full and re.
liable statement of all matters that
will be beneficial to the people.
A few weeks ago, Miss b. Z. Pope
sent her resignation to the board
OF trustees of the public schools,
stating as a reason for her resig-
nation that she could not stand
the tyranical treatment of DIR.
Francis and Prot. Montgomery.
Last week during the Editors
absence, the Editor in charge
wrote an editorial comment on
the resignation of this lady and
apparently throwing tae respon-
sibiIity on the school officials,
without investigating the circum-
stances of the affair, from
what Miss Pope stated in her let
ter. The BEE is in receipt of
letter from Miss Pope, who is
from one Of the Oldest families in
West Washington, giving her
version of the affair, and on in
vestigation, which the BEE has
made, it can be stated without
successful contradiction that the
| officials of the schools are in the
right. Even Mr.. Cook, who is
a personal friend of Miss Popes
and who reasoned with her. sus-
tanned the action of trustee Fran
| els and Mr.. Montgomery. From
what information the BEE has,
Miss Pope did not have sufficient
cause to resign her position as
teacher. Miss Pope, in her letter,
states just what Prof. Montgomery
says, she refused to reinstate the
pupil after he had made an apol-
ogy. Miss Pope did not think
that the apology was sufficient,
the school officials did. The
school being in the majority, the
hoy was readmitted. While the
BEE will at all times defend the
weak against the strong, the inno-
cent must be upheld against the
guilty. Miss Pope and others
complain of not having an inves-
tigation and that Prot. Mont
gomery was opposed to one. To
the contrary Prof. Montgomery
has favored and still favors an in
vestigation, if it were necessary
The BEE in common with the peo.
pie consider DIR. Francis an excel
lent trustee and a fair minded
man. And while it is regretted
that Miss Pope should resign her
position, the BEE thinks that Miss
Pope in anger, misunderstood the
position of the school officers.
There is no favoritism practised
in the schools now.
Commissioner Webb in bis
wise judgement, has relieved the
schools of those trustees who were
guilty Of practising such.
The position of the BEE ha'
has always been, and Miss Pope
knows it, to condemn imposition
on the part of the school officials
against W orthy teachers.

CHARACTERISTICS OF OUR
GREAT MEN.


to give, to an extent, the peculiar
characteristics of some of the rep
resentative colored men of the race,
and in doing so we hope no one
will take offenSe as we mean all we
say
The most prominent character
in America is Prof. WI Simmons,
of Louisville, KY, author of "Men
of Mark" He is man with an
ambitious frame Of mind. He is
without prejudice. He earns more
money than he saves and while he
loves money, he likes to spend it
for the elevation of his people. He
has a liberal heart.
Frederick Douglass, is a liberal
hearted soul but he is tainted with
a little deceit and selfishness. He
will tell you a thing as fact and if
he finds out that it will cause trouble
he will shift the responsibility.
He has enemies within his own
household and very seldom gets
any credit for his liberality towards
his family. When he is taught to
dislike or hate you, he has been in
| f1uenced by those in whom he con-
fides. He would be more charit-
able but being controlled by a
prejudiced association he is pre-
Vented. He loves honor and will
pay for it, if necessary. Douglass
will use you if he can.
John M. Langston never was
liberal, financially speaking. He
earns his money and knows how to
keep it. While he is a good man
he possesses peculiar characteris-
tics. He often plays the fool to
make his aim. No man is too big
for Langston. He knows no man
by his position. A bootblack is as
much in his eyes as the president
of the United States. He will talk
as freely to one as he will to the
other. If he knows you in the
presidential mansion he knows you
in the Jail. What we mean to say,
is, that he scorns no man high or
low rich or poor. Langston is one
of the greatest living negroes. He
is the same in as he is out of Of
fee. Official positions does not
change him
Rlanch X. Bruce is the most pol.
ished representative among us.
Bruce is a politician of the keenest
kind. He never commits himself
on anything. He does more for his
friends than any negro representa-.
tive and gets less credit for it.
His fault has been that he has
been too liberal to those who have
proved to be his enemies. TO
know Eruce is to love him. He is
lion when you start him, and a
lamb when in good humor. Nc
man is more respected by
the American Anglo-Saxon than
Bruce. His enemies condemn him
because he didn't make an ass OF
himself while senator from Miss
issippi.
John r. Lynch is man Of sound
sense. He says little but does a
great deal. He is one of the most
truthful men among us. What he
says you can rely upon. There is
nothing peculiar about this man
T. T. Allan, of Louisiana. is al
ambitious man. He cares no more
for dollar than he does for a cent
, He loves his race as we'll as he
does himself. He is hard to in
, fluence, especially when he know:
} he is in the right.
Robert Smalls has more hard
| sense than he has been given credit
for. While he may lack all tha
. people claim he ought to have, h'
has done more than those wh'
claim to have it all. Smalls is :
! determined Man.

In his sermon last night. Rev. Robt. Fl.
Williams, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church, referring to the yellow fever
plague of the South. said
How dreadful is the condition Of Jack
sonville How sad and pitable Is the
condition of those who have fed from 1t.
and how wretched is the condition of
those who remain Separated from home
and acquaintance, feared by the people
among whom they find shelter. alarmed
by the least symptom of Sickness the
refugees have a distressing experience.
Then how deplorable is the experience
of those who linger in the city. The evil
dences of the plague are all around them.
The hum of business has ceased. Two
thirds Of their homes are closed and aban
doned. The little flag that tells where
the plague holds its carnival hangs from
many q window.
The physician, the nurse, the minister,
the undertaken are associated In the minds
of the dwindled population more init
mately than they are usually. These fer
the time are the most prominent people
OF the city. These have stood by the sick /,
and by remedies and cheering words
helped them in the struggle with disease.
and when that struggle became unequal
and the patient sunk exhausted 10 the
conflict, carried forth all that was mortal
to hasty burial. How depressing to live
amid such scenes.
We, OF Annapolis, have some conccp.
tien of such a condition of things when
We remember the experiences of two years
ago, when our homes were invaded by
diphtheria and many little children were
taken from the embrace of loving parents.
A 1lAA 49, 4. 4. ~ -
brought TO us that this one and that one
had been stricken with the disease; we
wondered II there was no help 10 be
found.
When three out Of one family were car
ried forth to burial In month and three
out Of another family in little more than
a week, breaking up that family alto
gether, we had some conception OF what
is taking place on larger scale In this
stricken city of the South.
All, that terrible experience OF the fall
OF 1885 taught us important lessons which
we shall never forget Such an experience
too. makes US more capable OF sympa-
thizing with people who are passing
through similar troubles.
Our hearts have been deeply moved by
the intelligence that has come of the pro
gress of the disease In Jacksonville. and
we hoped for the best, and have prayed
that God would look in tender compass
sion upon these people who are passing
through so much sorrow. And we would
give some expression to our sympathy by
at least gift in money that may prove a
help to some In their need.
With others We would join in giving
material aid to these distressed people,
fer the sick need medicine and attention,
and the poor need food and shelter, and
clothing Much money Is needed to meet
the immediate and most pressing wants
of this suffering people.

A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from diseases Of
the Throat and Lungs than any other
II is probable that everyone, without ex-
ception, receives vast numbers of Tuber-
Gle Germs into the system and where
these germs fall upon suitable soil they
start into life and develop, at first slowly
as Is shown by slight tickling sensa
ton in the throat and if allowed to con-
.inue their ravages they extend to the
ungs producing Consumption and to the
mead, causing Catarrh. Now all this is
dangerous and IL allowed TO proceed will
In time cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing a cold
to go without attention is dangerous and
may lose you your life. As soon as you
feel that something Is wrong with your
Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain . botI
tie of Boschee's German Syrup 1t will
tive you Immediate relief.
