Necessity of Colored People Generally Be
ing More Economical in Their Habits and
Laying Aside Something for Rainy Day.
Mr. Ovelton was followed by Mr.. NJ. NJ
Holland, colored lawyer of Washington,
who offered to furnish the means to erect
100 houses per month in HillSdale II the
proper amount of encouragement was rem
dered by the residents of Hillsdale them
selves, Mr.. Holland, in his address, also
gave many incidents to prove that though
the colored people of the United States
have during the past thirty years made
wonderful progress in some of the profess
sions, they have not made equal strides in
mechanics and. similar occupations.
The last address of the evening was by
Mr.. Ovelton, who analysed a number of
Mr.. Hollands statements, and explained his
views on them. Eleven o'clock arrived
while Mr.. Ovelton was speaking, and in
concluding his remarks he said that it was
then too late to talk about forming q
branch Of the Equal Rights League, and,
asking the audience to sing the doxology,
Praise God. from whom all blessings

meeting adjourned. Mr.. w. c.. Payne of
the Equal Rights League was present, but
took no part in the proceedings.

false pretenses. The prisoner is colored

resented himself as chief porter foY the

his victim that he had consulted one of the
chief officers of the company. The case will

NO REHEARING. :

Again Argued.


Again Argued.
An opinion was filed in the Court Of APP
peals yesterday afternoon denying the
motion of Fred. T. Miller. indicted for
conducting bookmaking at the Benning
race track last December, for rehearing.
Upon Miller's Indictment he moved to
quash it on the ground that 1t set out
no offense, claiming that bookmaling was
not Illegal in the District one mile beyond
the limits Of the cities Of Washington and
Georgetown. Judge Cole overruled the
motion. holding that while the acts of 1888
and 1891 prescribed different penalties, both
prohibited bookmaking within every sec
ton of the District. The Court Of Appeals
sustained Judge Cole on the 18th of last
month. when Miller asked for a rehearing.
on the ground that the court did not fully
consider the fact that the two acts provide
two different penalties for the same Of
Tense. But, in its opinion filed yesterday.
the appellate court explains that 1t finds
nothing in the motion to warrant the
granting of a rehearing.
