That such state of affairs should

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

DEAR SIRs:-It has occurred to
me that you would like to have for
publication an outline history of
the Maryland Agricultural College
for the past year. Many of your
constituency have evinced an inter-
est in its work by personal visits to
the college, and by correspondence
on the many topics which affect the
material success of the agricultu-
rist's life.
First, as usual, we have had a
year in which much of advancement
has been made. The Department
of Farmers Institutes has reached
every county in the State with
gratifying results. In each county
one institute has been held, and in
several of them two. Much favor
able comment has been made upon
the work, and, in many instances,
much good has been done. With
the first year over and the garnered
experiences resulting .therefrom,
there can be little doubt that the
next year will be in advance of the
last. The need of "well done" is
due W. L. Amoss, the director of
this department of the college.
The Department of State Euto-
mology has attracted much atten-
ton under its able chief, Prof. W.
G. johnson. The past year was his
first year amongst US, and by his
energy, zeal and ability he has
gained a conversancy with the State
and its interest along the line of
his work, which emphasizes, in a
marked degree, his peculiar fitness
for his position. He has the State
now we'll in hand so far as his
knowledge ofits needs is concerned.
and already the farmers are begin
ming to reap the result of his labor
amongst us. His services are at
the command Of all needing help
in warning against the many in
sect depredations which, at present,
are sapping the result of the best
directed efforts of our most pro-
gressive farmers.
The Department of Experiment
Station work, under Director Rob-
ert Ill. Miller, claims much atten-
ton, and the farmers Of the State
of Maryland are fully realizing that
an experiment station in their
midst is an instrument of great
good to them.

his dairy department, his tobacco

UNCLE TOMS CABIN AT THE
QUEENS THEATRE.

That Harriet Beeceer Stoves "Uncle
Toms Cabin" remains a favorite
among theatre-goers in this city was
we'll illustrated last evening by the
immense audience which filled the
Queens Theatre. from orchestra to
gallery, at the first performance of the
drama by the Stowe Company. The
play has lost none of its peculiarly at
tractive features, and its pathos and
humor were well brought out last even:
ing by the different members of the
company, the majority of whom are
artists of considerable merit. The lead
ing roles are well taken, especially
those of Uncle Tom, the Marks Broth
ers and Topsy, and the mounting and
detail of the play are much above the
average. A number of novel features
are introduced between the acts, the
chief OF which are the vocal selections
by the Crescent City Quartette and the
cake walk. The play will run the en-
tire week; with daily matinees.

COLORED CITIZENS INDORSE
MR.. ROSS.

A meeting Of colored citizens was
held in the Office of THE BEE Tuesday
afternoon for the purpose of consider
ing the District CommissionerShip.
Mr.. w. Calvin Chase, Editor of The
BEE, presided with Mr.. L. H. Peter
son, as secretary.
Mr.. Chase, among other things, said
that one Of the best friends the Afro
American citizen had on the Board of
District Commissioners was Mr.. John
w. Ross.
Mr.. Peterson offered, and the meet
ing unanimously passed a preamble
and resolution, reciting that the term
of Iohn w. Ross, as Commissioner oi
the District of Columbia, had expired,
much to the regret of the Afro-Aneri-
can citizens Of the District of Colum-
bia who had always held him In high
esteem. He had served the people oi
this city as Commissioner, and on all
occasions treated the most humble
citizen with respect and consideration,
not at any time in his official capacity
ignoring the just claims of those in
humble positions, and declaring that
the colored citizens of Washington, in
public meeting assembled, unani.
mously indorse Mr. Ross for the office
of commissioner of the District oi
Columbia, and respectfully ask Presi
dent Mckinley to nominate him to
succeed himself as Commissioner oI
the District of Columbia.
A committee of three, consisting Of
DR.. Brooks, L. H. Peterson and Mr.
Hewlett, was appointed to present the
resolutions to the President.

UNCLE TOMS CABIN.

While the old story of Uncle Tom, as
told by Harriet Beecher Stowe, has
been taught in every community and in
all parts of this northern hemisphere,
no prettier telling of the old tale ever
was seen than last nights production
by the Stowe Company. From first to
last it was good in every particular.
Weak points, like badly drilled SOL
diers, stick out in a marked degree,
and in this instance all this was con-
spicuous by its absence. As an Offset
TO the sadness of The tale the specialties
deserve special mention. The cake
walk was, in its way, beyond criticism,
and the singing and dancing something
long to be remembered. Should our
local play-goers fail to see this combi:
nation they can blame themselves and
no one else for neglecting a mighty fine
entertainment.
The Washington bee., 1897-03-20
is THIS TRUE?
From the Star of Ziou.l

1t is thought that Bishop Arnett will
be the biggest colored man with this
administration. Don't YOU believe It.
Bishop Hood, who is also personal
friend of the new President, Secretary
Sherman, Speaker Reed and Senator
Foraker, will not get left. He spent
three days in Washington last week,
and, after calling on these gentlemen,
he went away smiling.
Well, if the administration is to
be controlled by a colored denomi-
nation, to the total exclusion of
other religious DO les, no doubt the
A. M. E. Church, otherwise known
as the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, will elect the next Presi-
dent.
If Bishop Arnett's Bible racket
is to make his son Register of the
Treasury, we would suggest a Bible
from other denominations, with a
pictu gallery annexed, containing
the colored Bishops. Some white
people have an idea that the colored
Bishops exert a great deal of influ-
ence over colored voters. The col
ored Bishop cut small figure in
politics, so far as the colored voter
is codcerned.
We believe in the church, but we
have no faith in colored Bishops, no
matter who they are. This church
and bishop racket endeavored to
fool the late Presidents Hayes and
Garfield, but President Harrison
took no stock in them. These men
boast of the influence they have had
