THE REASON.
Nj. Peple said he had taken the
pains TO ascertain why the average at
tendance in the colored schools has
been so much smaller than in the white
ones. and learned from the principal
that it was due TO the fact that when the
colored pupils get employment in facto-
RES or elsewhere for few days they
leave school
BE stated further that the committee
desired to be empowered by the board
to urge upon the teachers the importance
of attending somo one OF the normal
schools to be held this summer.
In conclusion MIR. Peple SAID the COM
mittee feltthe importance Of the teachers
reading regularly the Educational JoUr-
mi, which they would find Of great
benefit.
A resolution was adopted making it
obligatory upon all of the teachers here
alter 10 subscribe 10 the ,jOU-E7{.
al Of the other recommendations OF
the committee were adopted.
EXAMINATION OF TEACHERS.
Mr. Peple said he hal been approached
by some Of the colored teachers and re
quested to urge that the examination Of
teachers he held this year sooner than it
has been heretofore, as many Of the
teachers wish to spend the simmer out
OF the city. He added that while he had
not been waited OH by any Of the white
teachers. he was confident that they too
desired the examination to be held early.
resolution wEs adopted requesting
the superintendent to hold the examl-
nations as early as practicable.

The Committee On Buildings was di-
rectcd to give posse ssion Of the leased

The ladies Of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. aided by the men,
bers OF the Friends Temperance Com
mittee, gave another OF those pleasant
teas vt Friends Westinghouse last
night A bouatiful supply OF cold meats
bread and tea, beside fruits, had been
prepared, to which about fifty adults and
a large number of children did ample
Justice. The ladies were untlrlng IN
their attention to their guests and saw
that none were overlooked. 1t WAS a
Joyous occasion to oil concerned.
At 8 O'Clock, after the eatables had
been disposed of. all joined the congre-
cation which had assembled IN the
audience room above to listen to the
addresses.
The exercises were opened by singing
from the Gospel Hymns, "Are You
Coming Home Tonight ?"
Rev. q. Preston Nash read from the
Scriptures and offered prayer. After
another hymn Mr.. Nash entertained and
instructed the audience in short but
very stirring address on the subject
which had called the congregation to-
gether. He spoke very earnestly, using
frequent and apt illustrations to enforce
his argument.
After another hymn Rev John Pol
lard. ID. d., wasintroduced. This Jealous
advocate Of total abstinence Is well
known in our city, and whenever or
wherever he speaks always commands the
attention and respect of his hearers.
During his remarks he paid a glowing
tribute TO the Womans Christian Tempe
rance Union, which have done such a
grand work, not only for temperance,
out for the general good which they have
accomplished.
Rev. Or. Hatcher being present was
called on, but excused himself on
account OF severe hoarseness but ex-
pressed his hearty interest in the cause
and his high appreciation Of the work
which the Woman's Christian Tempe
rance Union was doing.
After the distribution Of tracts and
the singing of another hymn tue bene-
dichon was pronounced by DR.. Pollard.

HUNGER AND EXPOSURE.
Sad Death of a Young Man in
Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, O., May 22.-Officer
Hammond, while passing the intersec-
ton of Lower River road and Burns
treet, about o'clock YESTERDAY after
noon found lying in freight car a
young man who was very pale and al
most unable to speak. 1t was learned
from his slowly whispered words that
he had no home or friends, was sick
and wanted to be cared for. He was
taken by Patrol No. z to the hospital.
He said his name was Thomas Wynne,
twenty-siX years old. Some seven years
ago he left his home at Canton, Pa, and
since that time had wandered over the
country. Concluding to return to his
boyhood home, he walked until he
reached some point in Indiana a week
ago. All his efforts to obtain work were
i'll vain, and finally he was taken sick.
One night last week he crawled into a
freight car. His illness grew worse and
he hardly remembered feeling the car
move. He had had nothing to eat since
he lay down in the car. He was placed
in the medical ward and given every
possible attention, but at 5 o'clock he
died. He seemed to be we'll educated,
and said that he has prominent relatives
in Pennsylvania. The cause of death
was exposure.
