About l o'clock a. m. Tuesday Squire
Donahue, of Wilkesbarre, was called by
messenger to his office. Arriving
there he found Annie Bridford, who lives
near the state line, had effected the
arrest OF John Holland for breach of

deserting the girl that his parents did
not wish him to marry her and at their
request he fed to Wlkesbarre. Annie

calored Catholic High School.


After considerable agitation on the
palt Of Colored Catholics for higher
educational facilities for their youth,
it now appears as if they will see the
elimination of their widest dreams
in the proposed non-sectarian High
and Normal School to be opened in
Parish, this city. Long and earnestly
has this been q theme for discussion
in convention halls and in the family
circles, and il is with a feeling of
pardOnable pride and qualification
they welcome the venture. The ne
cessity of such an institution needs
no discus ssion, it is self-apparent
ColOred Catholics of this city now
have three parochial schools with an
average daily attendance Of about
1000 pupils, but they do not teach the
higher branches so necessary for q
successful business or professional
life, thus the necessity. 1t IS true
that the great Catholic University
and other white catholic schools ad-
NIT colored students, but the mass OF
cvlored people are unable to pay the
tuition necessary. The nObleness
of this grand movement is sublime in
contemplation, but as some black
men, in their narrowness of mind and
intellect, protest against everything,
whether il UU r''I gO~'lA Vi Ovf', for the
saba 0f y ,Otesting, it is with profound
ootiUW that record the premature
action of the Xavier Lvceum register,
ed during the week, which because of
it's past active work in behalf of
higher education, will hamper it and
be the cause of it's early and uptime
ly demise. From the past actions of
this highly respecta bic Catholic
body in national conventions and its
own halls, it would appear as though
they would be foremost in promoting
the cause and 1t is extremity surprising
and disgusting to say nothing of the
Encouragement, that this, the action
of this body of Catholics has engend-
cred. The movement is one that de-
serves the commentator and hearty
support of the race, and sacrifices, if
there be any, should be willingly
made and it is hoped that colored
catholics will grasp this golden OPP
portunity and push it TO the grand
success which beckons it onward.
We wish the liberal and philanthro,
pic spirits who are promoters of this
noble enterprise all success and it's
should be met with a dig
niaed silence, profoundest pity and
that active movement, commonly
called "hnstling. '-Richilieu.
