young French violInist, who delighted and

there could be no mistaking. He played
two numbers, the first Tutroduction and
Scherzo Cspricoio,' by Saint Saens: and,

Marteau was rapturously recalled, and the

They Have Wealth, are AristOcratic
and Ultra.FashiOnable.
from the Buffalo Commerciali

A negro aristocracy! Sounds odd,
doesn't II! Yet such an arlstocraey exists
In Washington and 1t is, relatively, at
least, the equal in wealth. culture and re-
6nement of that of our best circles of
white society.
Washington is colored mans paradise.
The term "colored man" Is the one they
invariably employ In speaking of them
selves They tell you they are not negroes
that negroes are the low blacks-thst
they are colored people, and that white Ia
dies and gentlemen appreciate that fact
and address them accordingly. The stand
ard of gentility among the whites IL fixed
by their uee of these terms. But, call
them what you please, Washington is their
paradise; this one spot ON earth where
part of their number have q social stand
ing, and where they are something more
than mere hewers of wood and drawers of
water.
The cclored aristocracy of Washington
really numbers about four hundred all
told, and In that respect they stand on an
equal footing with Ward McAllisters
four hundred" in the New York mstrop-
oils. These Washington colored swells
live in fine houses. They are possessed in
many cases of large wealth. They keep
their own carriages, and they have servants
in abundance who minister to their wants.
They have everything, in short, that
money and good taste can suggest. But
there is one thing they want that all their
wealth can't give them, and that is white
skin. The wealthiest colored man In
Washington would gladly exchange places
with the meanest white If 1t were in bis
power to exchange ekins also.
In their church worship the colored
"four hundred" are quite as exclusive as
their white nsighbors, and q colored day
laborer would hesitate as much to enter
one of these ssnctusries as q white man
of the same degree would In presenting
himself at the portals of Grace church
In New York. There are other colored
churches there where the poor and the
fairly well-to-do meet on equal terms,
but they are not the churcnes of the
flour hundred"
The SWEETEST colored church In Wash.
ington is the Fifteenth street Presbytsri-
an. On Sunday mornings Fifteenth
street, in the vicinity of the church, IL
filed with carriages. The church is small
and ultra-fashionable. The most of the
members keep carriages, and they use
them on these occasions. In this respect
they are aping the worst form of white
snobbery. In England every gentleman
walks to church. He may own Q hun
dred carriages, but he DOESN'T use them
to tsks him to and from the church.
Some of these days Americans will copy
this custom from their English cousins,
and when the American whites abolish
the present fashion of riding to church
the Washington colored swells will profit
by the object lesson.

CHARTER REVISION.

Anthony Carroll OHers q Few Sug.
gesttons to the Committee - Other
Speakers.
Anthony Carroll took up most of the
time at the meeting of the charter commit
tee last evening. Mr.. Carroll stated that
the fault was not in the charter but of the
men in Office. He would have the charter
say that no office should last more than
eight years, and have 1t give the power to
any citizen to go into o ourt and prosecute
any officer of the city for malfessance. As
1t is at present taxpayer may do this, al.
though Mr.. Carroll holds differently.
"Well,y you have heard 1t said that under
Mayor Lewis the government of this city
was very good. You now do not wish to
hear the other side of the question. Under
that form of government several members
of the government drew money from the
city for work DONE"
Mr.. Carroll turned off many times in
his speaking to the Waldron affair and re-
ferred to many contracts to be given by
the board. Mr.. Carroll did not think the
mayor ought to have any more power.
Mr.. States said: "Mr. Carroll We are
here to resolve suggestions O. to amend
ments to the city charter"
tAr. Chairman, do you not wish to hear
how the city government has been run for
the past twenty-four yssrsg'
sNo."
He cited a. an instance the Investigation
he instigstsd some time ago.
Mr.. Beach stated that If those facts we're
taken to a. court by Mr.. Carroll, with
proof, he would have redress.
Ia ao3d that ho advocated kbo
of any officer who refused any citizen a
statement of the affairs of his Office. Mr..
Carroll, when asked who would judge of
the case, said the supreme court would b.
preferred by him.
He wished to have al the records of the
government thrown open to the inspection
Of all citizens. He stated that he was
stopped from looking into city records
The town records are always free to him.
Alderman Chsthsld advocated more vot-
ing districts, city and town consolidation,
the retention Of the present court of com
mon council, the consolidation of the Offices
of city attorney assistant city attorney aud
corporation counsel. appointment of COM
missioners by the mayor, each for . term
Of eight years.
Mr.. Birdsey Warner of Broad way also
spoke much in favor of Mr.. Ohatfsld's
ideas.
4r. Joseph Manning advocated city and
town consolidation. He also advocated
the holding of municipal elections In the
spring time.
". J. Atwatsr stated that he Wa in f.
vor Of the present system Of electine com
