CLARA TO LOUISE.

hold aud I never heard girls laugh
so loud and heartily, over your
description of the play, as they.
For one to read the description of
the "American," dramatists would
conclude that the only dramatic
writer's were in this city.
The Union League Club, of
which MIR. Andrew F. Hillyer is
president, gave banquet at Odd
Fellows hall Monday evening.
There was q large crowd present
and the speeches were logical and
eloquent. l regret very much that
| cannot give full details of the al
fair, the reason is, it was Oh the
stag order hence no ladies were
present.
The Union League is becoming
to be powerful organic ition and
I am of the opinion that it will be
a great help to the colored people.
Such an organization ought to be
supported, especially y when they
have men OF brains connected with
it. Well the
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
will go in debt again. The men,
bers are not satisfied with what
they have got. They want an edi'
fee that will be an ornament TO the
city and the founder, the late John
f. Cook.
l had talk with our dear sweet
Birdie a few days ago, I an more
than convinced than ever that she
is one of the bet young girls in
this country.
Of course we decided some years
ago that girls are naturally deceit
full, but In her one finds no change.
She is still loving, kind and con-
genial and always has a word of
encouragement for the down hearted
girls.
During my recent visit to Phila-
delphia, l met our old friend Goldie
who made it very pleasant for me,
we visited the old centennial bull i.
ing, Paramount park with all its
menageries and curiosities, and all
the most popular places there. l
found the colored people situated
just as they are most all over the
country, living in the short streets
and mostly in the Southern part Of
the city of course there we're some
few exceptions, for instance or

their gaze were not on the account

have just received letter from

Loudoun Co., Va, who informs mt
that she has again decided to take

NEGRO DEMOCRATS.
How THEY ARE REVIEWED By
The PARTISAN Press.

From the Savannah Tribune.
Negro democrats who are figur-
ing tor selection as successors of
Recorder of Deeds, Bruce and
Fourth Auditor Lynch may we'll
give up their intention for Mr..
Cleveland is determined to give
their places to white men.
1t is said that there are about
40 Negro applicants for the ap-
poiutment as register of Deeds of
the District of Columbia. The
present encumbent, b. K. Bruce
wants Cleveland to appoint a
white man. Perhaps he will, but
if so, we'll. wait and see.
From the Atchison Blade
q. FL. J. Taylor has indulged
in something we hardly expected
him to; caused letter to be writ
ten to Cleveland asking him to
remove colored Republicans
before their term of office has ex-
pired and appoint colored Demo-
Gratis TO succeed them. Challle
ought to know Grover has a style
peculiar to himself and be cannot
be changed. This Is not a manly
request.
From the Reformer.
The Negro democrats have sent
petition to Mr.. Cleveland re
minding him of their loyalty to the
democratic party and of the sup
port they gave him. Perhaps thsy
felt that the "pie" was nearly gone
and that they were not getting
even the crust aud soa gentle re-
minder would be in order. These
men have been most faithful to
Cleveland and the democratic par
ty and shonld receive recognition
for their services.
The Washington bee., 1893-05-27

No man is more anxious for a
colored democrat to succeed him
then Recorder B. K Bruce. The
charge against him is false.

Dog a, Niagara FaIla

Not long since very exciting adventure
took place at Niagara. As several tourists
were walking along the shore of Luna is
land above the cataract, they saw a large
Newfoundland dog leaning from rock ana
engaged in tapping water from the rush
ing current. The rock was slippery and
the dog was not very nimble, and pres
emily his feet slipped. and he fell headlong
into the water.
In moment the dog was drawn out into
The current and we'll on his way toward
the cataract. Even so good swimmer as
the average Newfoundland could make no
Roadway against such stream.
The bystanders, Mortified, pressed toward
the falls to see what should become of the
unfortunate dog. To their great surprise
they saw him landed by the current, and
with great force, upon a rock near the Cave
of the Winds.
From this position he was rescued With
much courage by four tourists. He was
found to he bleeding heavily, as the result
of his collisions with the rocks and prob
ably he would have died soon II he had not
been carried to veterinary surgeon, who
stopped the bleeding and bound up his
wounds.
Several hours later he returned to the
shore, litnpinE but wagging his tail very
cheerfnlly. His tail was about the only
part OF his body which had entirely escaped
injury, and he appeared to be determined
to use 1t to the best advantage.
Since this adventure the Newfoundland
has been quite hero at Niagara. He still
haunts the neighborhood of the precipice
but he is no longer seen trying to drink Out

In the window of modest little shop in
the upper part Of this city Is sign, "Um-

ut this curious mixture OF trades, writer
who happened to have adisordered umbrel-
la entered the shop one day. He found
therein a little old man behind small, low
counter tinkering at an umbrella The shop
was ANAL, dingy and quaint. Inyhe corner
stood high armchair, which looked as IL
it had seen many years Of service In bar
ber's shop. On pine board shelf near the
chair lay pair Of forceps and shabby
leather case containing half dozen other

eagerly and greeted his Visitor with timid.

and apparently half starved "Want tooth

voice.
mo, thank you. 1t is my umbrella and
not my teeth that needs fixing, !" replied the
writer.
A look of disappointment came into the
old mans eyes and wheezy sigh escaped
his lips as he held out trembling hand for
the umbrella. "Yss, yes, yes" he NUT
tered, I'VE will pull it all right. 1t won't

Are you the dentisti" queried the phase

direction Of the dusty chair.

any improvement In Its condition. But hs
thought he had fixed it and took the q
cents without any palpable qualm of con

An elderly lady created considerable ex-
citement in the postoffice corridor a few
days ago by the energetic manner in which
she addressed the stamp clerk. With wild
gesticulations she implored the clerk to tell

that some of the carriers had been flirting

him one day why 1t was that Holsters were
growing SO scarce, he said with hitch Of the
body and the down east" drawl that were
the unfailing Accomplishments of all his re-

him and how it had become twisted into
such use continues to be mystery to me
