CUPID SHOT HIS SHAFTS.
God of Love Was Present at the Valentine
Tea and Social.

God of Love Was Present at the Valentine
Tea and Social.
Cupid, who laughs at locksmiths, was not
to be disconnected by the weather last even
ing.
Clad in pink attire. with wings of gauze, he
appeared in propria pers0nae at valentine
social given at the Typographical Temple by
the U. S. Grant Circle ladies of the G. A. r.
He merrily twanged his bow and fast sped
his winged sha is TO pierce the hearts of the
lads and lassies present.
To the onooker the scene was an interest
| ing one. A valentine booth in one corner of
the room was draped artistically with the ma
tional coiors, and here our young Cupid, as
| sisted by his fair sisters, sold his valentines
| to the signing swains.
| A picture of the hero-warrior, Ulysses S.
Grant. also draped with the red, white, aud
! blue, was over the platform, and best of all a
| larger number wore present to enjoy the
| pleasures OF the evening.
The programme consisted of a solo dance
| by Miss May Belle Chambers. recitation by
| Mrs. Hart, piano solo by Miss Avery, and
vocal solo by Miss Barringer. The proceeds.
which are to he given to the suffering poor
of Washington. will probably run rs high as
| $780,
| Another Cupid braved the inclement
weather, this time clad in white, trimmed
with hearts of red. This young god was
| gracefully enacted by Master Kenneth Pen
ney, and the little misehief-maker did great
! slaughter with his unerring dart in the chapel
| OF the Church of the Covenant. where the
! Covenant League of Kings Daughters was
| gathering in the shekels in order to raise its
! mite toward the reduction OF the church
! debt.
An entertaining programme was rendered,
and among those who participated were Miss
! Nesmith, who gave a charming recitation,
! and Miss Adela Vernon, formerly of London,
/ who sang with artistic skill.
The decorations although simple, were
most pleasing to the eye, and the young peo-
| pie partook OF the refreshments from tables
covered with linen, embroidered with GRIM
! son hearts. Hearts were trumps" and gaiety
| was unconflned.

LincoIn's Birthday Celebrated by Colored
People at Metropolitan.

LincoIn's Birthday Celebrated by Colored
People at Metropolitan.
The birthday of Abraham Lincoln was cele-
brated yesterday by the colored citizens of
Washington at the Metropolitan A. NJ. E..
Church.
very large audience was present, and
listened to addresses by Mr.. E. A. Clark, '
chose the Spiritual history of Abraham Lin
coin" for his subject; the Hon. H. C. Smith.
United States consul TO Santos, Brazil, and
Prof. ". II. II. Hart, of this city.
After a striking sketch portraying the
birthplace and environments OF Lincoln, Mr..
Clark followed him through childhood and
early youth and young manhood. Ins
speaker drew faithful picture OF the condi-
tion OF the negro race at The breaking out of
the civil war, and dwelt at length upon the
reasons that most Influenced Lincoln in
finally issuing the proclamation of emanci-
patton. Mr.. Clark surrendered the
platform to the Hon. Ii. C. Smith
who had been requested TO speak upon the
Esteem in which Lincoln is held by the
people of Brazil.
1.-The negroes of Brazil to the number OF
one million and 4 hall" said Mr.. Smith, ,''were
liberated upon the 18th of May. 1883. Their
emancipation had been slowly going on tor
the past sixty years, but upon that date they
were all given their freedom. At that time
there was much talk about Lincoln. and the
Brazilians were loud in their praise of him
and the policy he had assumed on the slave
question"
Prof. Hart followed with short
paper on Equality" Which" ne
said, lis simple and the only
means of solving the race question.
While Lincoln set the colored maa free in
one sense OF the word in another he is as
much slave as he was in the days before
the war, when he was sold for so much per
head. Equality socially" Mr. Hart contin-
ued sis the only thing that will help the co..
ored man, and education en- masse is the
means of acquiring this social equality"
The audience rendered the speakers a vote
of thanks for their efforts in behalf ofthe Lit
erary and Historical Society.
