THE NEGRO ATTORNEYS.

1t is amusing to the hundreds OF
spectators of the police court from
day to day, to witness both white
and colored attorneys, the colored
especially, set in judgment on his
fellow associate.
There are three classes of attor-.
neys who practice in the police
court and other courts.
There are negro attorneys who
have no offices and who are
known as curbstone lawyers. This
gang always have something to
say derogatory of his more success
ful brother. They belong to the
capper class, that is, TO the class
who have runners on the outside of
tine court and who would never get a
seifoneOf the capperS didn'turge
the arrested | arty to employ them.
There are another who do nothing
but sit in court all day and show
their teeth. They grin all the time
and have some uncomplimentary
remark to make against the attor-
nev who is conducting case.
Both judges very often sit down
on this class. They have no staud,
in,or outside the court.
Then tbs re is the wise looking
white attorney who claims to have
Influence with The court they tell
their clients that they have the ear
of the court and if any one can get
them of they can. The fact of the
matter is, no man who practices be-
tore the bar has any influence with
the court. There are some attorneys
who are respected more than others.
the reason Is they never attempt to
bulldoze the court. They are digni>
fed and respectable, Some negroes
as we'll as shy ster white attorneys,
often clalDt TO know more than the

WEDDING PROFESSIONS.

Wedding professions are notably long

bridesmaids, and the usually cores
pondlng number of ushers. Six, seven,
elght and nine bridesmaids have par
tlclpated at recent weddings, adding
Drllllancy to the occasion both by their
personal beauty and their effective
dressing. At one wedding the bride
was attended by six maids, three of
them walking abreast after the ushers,

COLOR LINE AMONG NEGROES.
HOW THE LINE Is DRAWN--WORSE
THAN SOUTHERN PREJUDICE.

There is more color line drawn in this
city among negroes than there is in the
south. There is an element in the so.
clal circle AID the churches whose com.
pleHlon is little bright and who per.
haps may hold government position
are the people who have endeavored to
play the white racket.
Indeed, SO ridiculous is this color line
that it has become disgusting to the
better class of colored citizens.
There is a negro in one of the depart-
ments who has been playing the white
racket ever since he has been in the
CITY,. He is from Mississippi. He
never knows his Mississippi brethren at
any time. There is another half white
negro is the Postotfice department. He
is the brothe brotherr of the late Prof
Wylie Lane.
Those "ho don't know this bleached
son OF Ham when he is Oh the public
street, would take him for white man.
Inc departments are full of these half
white negroes who don't want to he
known as colored.
There Is another element known in
this city as
OUR SOCIETY.
They give their social gatherings and
PICK from the half white sons and
daughters of Ham. 1t makes no differ
ence whether they are messengers. la
borerS or Whatnots, or whether the wo-
men are above suspicion or not: as long
as they have hair or color.

ROYS SPORTING TALK,

One OF the most noticeable character
istics of that portion of the colored race
who follow race horses from place to
place for livelyhood is the peculiar
nomenclature existing among them.
There is ''Blue Wing,' because had
a small bet Oh that famouse horse at the
right time. ''Spider'' Anderson, be-
cause of his diminutive size. ''Chick''
Reed, because of his fondness for that
bird. ''Beefer," because he is never
satisfied how they come. ''Blue Jen-
nie," because of his dark complexion
"Three HairS'' for a reason no fellow
can find out, and Monkey Charlie, ,
because of a we'll defined facial resem-
blance to the tribe whose name he is
compelled to bear. And it is Just so
throughout the entire list. Surely no.
where else on earth can be found such
grotesque distinction as can be seen in
the betting ring and paddock. Paris
Archer, Patton Clay, John Barber, ,simp-
son Tyler and few others alone re-
tain their cognomeEs intact in the face
OF this wholesale slaughter of given
names.

ing to have weathered the contrary

Portland, April 26.-The industrial
army is still at Troutdale.
About O'Clock this morning they
took possession of the Union Pacific
depot and installed one of their men,
an operator, to ascertain how trains
were running. The night operator gave
them the slip and rode to Fairview on
horseback, and reported the situation
to the company. About 2 o'clock United
States Marshal Grady and the officers
of the company went out on a special
train and served an injunction on the
men. Just before the officers arrived
they vacated the depot. They were
probably notified of the officers coming
by telephone. There are rumors now
that the army has disbanded, but
majority OF the men say they intend
going to Washington and are deter
mined to stop train.
Sheriff Kelly sent the following mes
sage to Gov Pennoyer late this after
noon:
II am reliably and credibly informed
that there is a crowd of lawless people

To Secure the Passage of the Tariff BIZ
BY Party Vote.


Washington, April 26.-The Demo-

Of finance held meeting today for the
purpose Of comforting over the proposed
changes in the tariff bill Secretary Car
Isle was before the committee. There
is no room for doubt that the commit
tee has agreed upon a policy but all
parties to the conference are very reti-
cient. It is known that the income tax
bill has been altered so as to not dis
crimlnate against persons who derive
incomes from interpretations or business
partnerships. Other changes also have
been made which, 1t is believed. will
satisfy its opponents. II is believed
also, that amendments to many sched-
ules have been agreed to. Secretary
Carlisle is in sympathy with the efforts
Of the committee to obtain a bin that

there are good reason for believing the
movement has the sanction Of the presi- |
dent.
