a brief history of the new Dele
ware Senator.
NO NEGRO NEED APPLY.
LET CONGRESS ACT AT ONCE.

Senator Edmonds requested the
District Commissioners few weeks
ago to send to the Senate a state
ment of charitable institutions in
this city that get aid from the gov
ernment, and whether such institu-
tions discriminate on account of
color. The following are the an
Swers:
The Secretary of the German
Orphan Asylum writes to the Com
missioners that there is nothing in
the constitution or regulations OF
the institution concerning exclusion
on account of race, color or pre-
vious condition of servitude.
Sister Clara, of ST. Roses Indus
trial School, says they never had a
colored applicant, "therefore none
had been refused ; but should they
apply they would not feel bound to
receive them, not being a regular
public institution, and not having
the apartments to receive them.
1t would not be supposed we could
mix them with our young girls,
who are mosrly orphans OF from
good families
Mrs. j. Curtis Smith, Secretary
of the Board of the Washington
Hospital for foundlings, in her let
ter says:
/ have to say that this institu-
ton has never refused the admis-
sion of any founding on account
of race or color. Several applica-
tions for the admission of alleged
colored foundlings have been made,
but upon investigation of the cases
by the executive committee, they
were rejected as ineligible under
our rules applicable to all admis-
sions, whether white or black. We
have to employ a number Of wet
nurses for nursing children, and
whilst we may regret the fact that
any race prejudice should exist,
yet we are compelled to recognize
it as fact, and it is apparent that
the necessary help could not be
had, if it should be attempted to
keep white and colored children in
the same wards.
Sister Mary Vincent, of st. Vim
cents Orphan Asylum, writes /:
"ThIs institution is for white chill
dren."
"St. AIMS Infant Asylum" says
Sister Agnes Relihan, "receives in
fantS and children from the public
authorities without distinction, but
to receive all who present themsel-
yes at our door, particularly color
ed, would be an utter impossible.
ity."
The Sisters of the Good Shep.
herd write that "no one has ever
been refused admittance into our
institutions. Colored children have
not been received, though in some
of our larger houses they have a
building for them"
The Sisters of the Holy Cross of
st. Joseph's AS! lum say: ''Our
asylum is for male orphans. None
are excluded but cOlored. 1 find
from experience that white boys
cannot be mixed with colored."

EDGAR WARES LETTER
ON THE INAUGURAL
TION.

Well yes, the grand procession l
also saw, and now
1 set me down, my dearest Jane, to
tell it all to you:
The morn walked DER the city rob-
ed In gOssamer,
For there was drizzling rain, and
no sun would appear.
The wind blew from northeast, a
sure sign, they say,
That the rain would continue to
fall the live long day.
The anxious looking people were
standing here and there,
While too among the number stood
your own liege, Edgar Ware.
| heard the hum of voices, and l
felt the chilly rain
Which made some men forget them
selves and say things profane !;
But 1 remembered all, my dear, all
on the cause of Jane.
l said only "DoG BITE IT" when a
man slept on my toe,
And when the police showed me
back, l uttered 'BY JOE"
Well, now, the exact hour, l do
not really know,
But if Pm not mistaken, [ think
twas half past two
When Harrison rode up the deco
rated avenue.
This avenue, you know, dear Jane,
Abbreviated Penn,
Gave most true signs of welcome
unto the honored Ben.
The hack, or coach, at last came
by, drawn by horses four,
And there | saw the President who
looks of wisdom bore:
1 vowed I'd never seen man that
looked more wise before.
And o those many soldiers, Jane,
in suits, white, red and blue,
Indeed they looked so beautiful it
made me think of YOU:
l said, "Now if Jane just was here
how happy L would be !"-
But here I ceased my musings for
the police crowded me.
1 found myself showed through the
crowd, aud heard people shout,
One man, because slept on him
near knocked my eye out:
1 left the disagreeable place, and
got In open air,
To find the place where first stood,
1 was from it one square.
Within my good bip pocket, 1 put
my right hand down
To find alas, my dearest Jane, my
pocket-book was gone!
| did not stop to grieve, dear Jane,
| left it for the scamp,
Who only found, within the purse,
three-cent piece and stamp
At last got another place, for
being tall, you see,
Even those with umbrellas quite
failed to battle me.
On came the bands and clubs, also
on came the soldiers grand,
And bravely walked the offloer that
held the high command.
Nor failed the drum major to toss
his cane about,
Nor failed the wild street-urchin
upon the air to shout.
Already the artillery had long gone
On before,
And now the men walking there
was ten thousand more!
For three long hours they were pas,
sing, just think three hours J.
The ample time we courted among
the spring-time flowers!
There's much more could tell you,
but space it wont allow,
So with my dearest wishes good
bye, | bid you know now.
Just look for me next Monday, til
then this parting bear,
May this fnd you as it leaves me
your liege lord,

INDIANAPOLIS. July 6-The Hoosier paIl
team has finished its second series OF games on
the home grounds, and left tonight for Phila-
delphia in charge Of Captain Glasscock. Man
ager Bancroft. who is now in New Bedford,
Mass, where he went last week to take his
wife and sick child, will meet the club in the
Quaker City. as will Martin Sullivan, who has
also been absent, on account of the death of
his wife at Lowell. While the team has failed
to better its rank during Its stay at home, the
boys have played fine ball, and the manage
ment seems well satisfied with the present con-
dition of things. A good percentage of the
games played ON the local field were won, and
the pu Bile has given the club very fair sup
port. The Fourth of July attendance was the
largest ever seen here and the vast crowds were
treated to fine exhibitions of ball playing
The friends of the club are not speculaIing as
to what the team will do away from home; hav-
ing in mind the poor record made on the last
trip. However, there seems to be good reason
for the belief that the Hcosiers will make a
much better showing this time, because they
are in better shape than they were during the
first tour, especially in the box.
While no new men have been secured for
that department. it is equally true that Boyle
and Getzein are doing much finer pitching
than at any time since the season opened Both
games at home and have shown that they are
as good as any club needs. The fact remains,
however. that Boyle and Getzein are the only
pitchers the team has, that is, who can
be relied upon. Burdick pitches strong
game now and then, bnt his work is not steady.
Rusie, the local amateur, has been in the box
three times, but. while he shows some good
points, his lack of experience makes him an
unknown quantity. The club really needs an.
other irst-ciass pitcher, and the management
has made an effort to secure one, but without
success At present 1t looks al If BOYLE and
Getzein will have to do the bulk OF the work in
the box. The former Is rather careful of his

often, but the ex-Detroiter ID always willing to
pitch when he Ia in shape.
No one ever hears Getz complaining OF sore
arm. and he IS one of the hardest workers IN
the business. With another pitcher equal to
either of these. however. the Hoosiers would
be able to hold their own In any class In the
country. The management is on the lookout
for good man, and IL one can be found
the price will be a secondary matter.
President Brush thinks Mr.. Spalding's reply to
John Ward in regard to the contemplated
meeting of q committee from the Leagne and
one from the Brotherhood was a very sensible
view of the matter, and says that the players
will probably see it in the same light when they
understand the real situation. There was
not even a suggestion of strike here. and It
is likely that the players and managers will
have no more trouble this season. About the
only disagreeable thing the local people here
have had TO contend with recently was the um-
piring. The work of Fessenden has been
soJTething awful It is not claimed that he
favored one side more than another. but was
generally bad. He seems to have no idea OF
balls and strikes, and frequently evens up by
trying to correct one mistake by making an
other. Verify, the umpire question is tough
one. A. Y. OVENS.
