THAT SUIT?

Gen. Albert Ordway, has notl-
fed Major 9. A. Fleetwood that
he will bring suit against him if be
does not pay for certain military
goods that he has failed to account
for. Gen. Ordway ought to know
that Major Fleetwood is no more
responsible for the lost of those
goods than one ofthe kings of the
Feegee Islands. The BEE is of the
opinion that Gen. Ordway ought
to give Major Fleetwood rest.

PROF. j. NJ. GREGORY.

During the last two weeks, the
public press has been filled with
sensational publications. concern
ing certain charges that were made
against Prof J. M. Gregory. II
seems that Mr.. Daniel Murray.
who has been, for several years a
candidate, for school trusteeshir
and his brother in law Mr.. Bruce
Evens, were the instigators of these
charges. Mr.. Mulry shows very
bad faith on his part, by keeping
his brother in law in the back
ground and using the names OF
others without authority. Mr.
Bernard Clark, whose name Was
used by Mr.. Daniel Murry, has
authorized the BEE to state that
he did not authorize Mr.. Murry
to make any statement for him,
and that the statement in the Dal-
ly Post, so far as he is concerned,
is false. This is manly on the part
of Mr.. Clark aud the BEE feels
assured that Prof. Gregory has
been a victim of base treachery by
ambitious candidates for his
place on the school board.
Some very absurd statements
have been made concerning Prof.
Gregory's financial transactions.
Several have gone go far as to ask
what has become of the money he
borrowed. Whose business ls II
what he did with his salary or the
money that he borrowed from
other people. Prot. Gregory has

years, and be has never been known

transactions. The BEE will not
believe him guilty, until he is
proven 80. In another column OF
this paper will be seen a letter
from Prof. Brown and there is no
doubt but that be expresses the
sentiment of impartial judges.
The most impudent request

Mr.. Editor:-
The recent criticisms and ru-
mors which have appeared in the
columns OF the morning Post, con-
cerDing Prof. James NJ. Gregory
are indeed a.surprlse to the citi-
zens of this city where he has liv-
ed so long and is known 80 favor
ably-and one who reads these
articles would at once discover
that they contain a hidden and
venemous intent. 1t would ap--
pear that some few who desire
newspaper notoriety have allowed
themselves to be interviewed, not
only concerning rumors as to
Prof. Gregory's disposition of
teacherships in the public schools,
but found fault with him because
he has not from time to time
made public his distribution of his
private salary, Prof. Gregory has
been a resident of the District for
over twenty years. aud In that
time has gained an enviable relu-
tat;on as an honorable, upright
and worthy citizen. He is to-day
the senior Professor in the College
Dept. of Howard University, and
no man connected with that insti-
tuition stands higher in the esteem
of the trustees, the president, and
his associate Professors. And it
is largely due to his energy, schol.
arly worth and upright dealings
that the students of that depart
ment can be said to stand on par
with those of her eastern and
northern colleges.
His desires and aims have all
ways b en- to do the greatest
amount of good for the education
al upbuilding of the schools of this
city, aud it is due to this fact that
he consented some years since to
become one Of the corps of trus-
tees of the public schools OF this
city. He naturally knew the diff
fcuIt responsibilities that would
devolve upon him in this position,
but with the courage o. his con-
victions, he entered upon the du-

Wine for Ones stomach Sake.
tn ne Editor Of he Dispa,ch.


In reply TO an inquiry in the DISPATCH Of
April 26th by VI. D., Jr., as regards the use
of some light stimulant such as " beer or
light wine" 10 counteract the debility con-
sequent upon the sudden change from
cold to warm weather IN the spring, it may
be asserted upon general principles that
tones and stimulants which tend TO In
crease the appetite when less food is need
cd are unnecessary and often injurious.
But there are very many cases where
beer and wine taken with the view OF aid
ing digestion rather than to create an arti-
fetal appetite for food are very beneficial.
Many elderly people with feeble digestion,
invahds, and conyalescents are benefited
by the moderate use of these beverages.
They are also useful sometimes IN aiding
the digestion of coarse and uupalatable
articles of food. such as the poor are COM
PEELED to subsist upon.
But those who are in good health and
not accustomed 20 the use OF wine or beer
will not DO likely TO find as much relief
from the debility of spring by their use
as by changing their diet to suit the
season, substituting lean IN ats, fruits, and
vegetables. as far as possible, for the
richer and Matchmaking foods of winter.
Beer containing only o small per cent. of
alcohol-@5 per CENTS the least objection
able. The Germans, who arc a very
vigorous race, intellectually and physi-
cally, consume vast quantities Of 1t and
seem to thrive very well upon It's use.
Perhaps, as Or. Cutler said Of the Scotch
and oatmeal, they thrive in spite Of IL.
In conclusion, beg leave to tender my
sincere thanks 10 VI. d.. Jr., for his kind
expressions of interest in the articles !
