1t is rumored that there are sew
eral changes that will be made in
the personal of the colored schools
as soon as the trustees meet. 1t is
claimed that these changes are
absolutely necessary for the good
of the children. Prof. Cardoza
will be succeeded by Prof. 81. M.
Brown, citizen of this city and
one of the most accomplished
young men in the country. Miss
Lucy Moten will be displaced and
her position filed by another.
There is great pressure being
brought to bear against the Mont.
gomery brothers and quite prob
able there will be change in
at least one of these supervising
principals. Misses Merritt or
Nalle will be appointed to the Ban
neker school. The Commissioners
have not as yet decided on a
change in the colored superinten.
dent. Mr.. Ellis Brown will prob
ably be removed and his place
filled by an accomplished teacher.
Miss Lucy Moten, who is reported
will be displaced, has taught in the
schools for a number of years and
the complaint against her is par
tiality in marking graduates. The
trustees are all quiet On the sub
ject and In fact refuse to talk at all
concerning any of these changes.
When the trustees can decide up
on man to succeed Mr.. Cook, the
Commissioners will probably act.

ITEMS OF 6. U. o. OF O. F

The ladies of the Banner club,
are making preparations to give
the public another one of their en-
joyable entertainments. This time
at 1929 n street.
Rosa Hill Lodge had sermon
preached to them at Liberty Bap-
tist church, Sunday evening.
Golden Grove Lodge, 1. o. of G..
S. and D. of S., have once more
come to the front, this time to
stay.
The church societies and Odd
Fellows and 6. S., ought to pur-
chase a place to give picnics, as
the 4th of July has demonstrated
the fact, by the row at Vanness'
which is only one of the many that
took place, that that is no place to
safely carry our families and social
enjoyments.

monthly meeting on Monday even
ing, which was we'll attended.
S. G. of M, meets in Philadelphia
this week, the special circular will
be read in a few weeks. Several
members of the order are expected
to enter into business this fall, we
wish them success.
There is not the least danger of
this B. M. c., removing the head
quarters of the order from Phila.
uelphia. 1t is idle gossip, they
talk to the contrary.
1t is said that Mrs. Massey and
Mrs. Holley are the largest real es-
tate owners( (colored female), in
this city.
Sister Hattie Stribling will spend
her vacation in the Western noun
tains.
The next B. M. G. will be in
Atlanta, Ca, that is to say in 1890.
Our friend, David Warner, will
be elected we'll we will be
there to help you though just the
same.
Everybody should visit Brother
Watkins on 10th street, for he is
business man.
Bro. Lewis will be the next Dis
trict secretary, a good man to
build up our ID. F., by electing five
good officers, men who are with the
rank and file of this great order.

DEATH OF VIM. III. BLACK.
A DISTINGUISHED CITI-
ZEN GONE

Mr., VIM Henry Black, clerk in
the Post office Department, died
at the residence of his daughter
Mrs. Talbert, at Long Island; n.
Y, Monday evening July 9th.
Mr. Black had been suffering for
some time with a heavy cold, from
which he never was able to rally.
He was one of the most genial
men in this city and a prominent
member of society. No one knew
him but to love and honor him.
Everybody knew Hen. Black as
he was called among his near
friends. Society has last a valu-
able member, the city a citizen OF
honor and distinction and the
needy a true friend. Whatever
his faults were he was never
known to injure friend or foe.
All men are not perfect but Mr..
Black possessed those qualities
that won for him the administra
tloD of the entire community.
He leaves "a most amiable wife,
three married daughters and two
sons. He was buried yesterday
afternoon from his late residence

WHO WILL 1T BE?
TWO CANDIDATES STRONGLY IN
DORSED.

1t is we'll settled fact that no
man will be appointed to the
princip ,lship of the Bannaker
school. There are two female
candidates who are strongly
indorsed for the place, Miss E. F.
T. Merritt and Miss Mary Male.
The former has the indorse-
ment or recommendation of
superintendent Cook and is said
to be one of the best teachers in
the corps. 1t is reported that
Miss Nalle is opposed to by the
superintendent on account of her
alliance with the Patterson family
who are inimical to Mr.. Cook
If this is a fact Miss Merritt will
be the successful applicant.
Miss Nalle is a refined young
lady and is deserving of recogni-
ton. Her alliance to anyone that is
inim;c cal to Mr.. Cook should not
be a bar to her promotion to a
place she merits.
The trustees all admit that Mr..
Cook is an impediment to the
schools, but there Is not one who
has the courage to recommend his
removal. There have been no
weekly or monthly meetings of
teachers nor are any questions
discussed among the teachers, that
would promote the material inter-
est of the schools. This lack OF
interest is due to the superinten-
dent. Mr.. Webb should either
