What Women are Doing in New Eng
land.
Domestic and Sanitary Science,

New England women, with all their in
terest in literary and educational matters,
by no means neglect the domestic side.
AS individuals they maintain the early
reputation of the New England housewife
and In organizations they are making a
careful study of domestic science and
household economics. The New England
Kitchen, still carried on by a group of
Boston women, is practical example of
what science can do for the homely art of
cooking. The latest work undertaken 0y
the ladies in charge of this kitchen is that
of supplying wholesome luncheons to the
boys and girls in certain public schools.
Five-cent and ten cent luncheons are pro-
vided daily to l, 600 children, who other
wise would stay their hunger with the in
digestible CONNECTIONS of some neighbor-
ing pastry-shop. New England women
are making constant efforts to introduce
cooking into the public schools, some
times through one organization, some
times through another. Boston had the
first public school kitchen in America,
and the generosity of Mrs. Quincy A.
Shaw was largely instrumental in having
cooking made part of the public school
curriculum. In Providence the same
work was accomplished by the ladies of
IAO ooHlOolIC 1 AdtuluS AooOGldIloA' Soon
ing was introduced into the public schools
of Manchester, New Hampshire, through
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union, and women were instrumental in
introducing the same branch into the Con-
cord public schools. The women of
Rhode Island and Connecticut, through
various organizations, are showing an in
terest in scientific cooking, and in Yer
mont good work is accomplished in this
direction by means of the Farmers lnsti-
tutes. Several groups of women in New
England are turning their attention to the
ever urgent servant problem. The belief
is spreading that almost the only solution
lies in establishing well-equipped train
ing schools. The members of the Boston
Young Womens Christian Association
for many years have maintained an adj
mirable free Training School for Domes-
tics. The graduates from its six months
course are always in great demand, and
it's only defect is that limited quarters
prevent its having more than score of
students at time. [Harper's Bazaar.

friends thought sufficiently good for
the colored contingent, is more mark

any recent administration has had the
honesty and courage to extend to the

1t is well known to the leaders that
Senator Hanna's broad-minded influ-

of the appointments And we have
assurances that these are but an indi-
cation of what will be for the Negro

A FRIEND TO THE SOUTH
SENATOR HANNA DEFENDED BY
SOUTHERNER

The history of Hon. Marcus A. Han
ma, so often and widely published, as
TO be known by the reading public as
it reveals the efforts of a good and
useful citizen and business man, is an
inspiration to the youth of this country,
and as an example fof clean political
methods, and consummate party
management is peerless. His is such
life that it might we'll be emulated IN
all of Its phases by all citizens, ire
spective of party affiliations.
The ClearneSS of aforesight, the
energy and the courage which made
him a successful man IN the business
world, also made him, when he turned
his attention to p p)litics, one of the
most remarkable political managers of
the age. He, mainly by his own eff
forts, and in spite Of some of the most
powerful adverse combinations known
to politics in this country, accomplish
ed the' nomination of Mr.. Mckinley.
and his subsequent conduct and man
agement of the campaign eliminated
in republican victory
10 the republicans of the south, and
especially to the colored republicans,
Senator Hanna stands forth as a true
and tried friend, and with all the low
al feeling, the respect and love thew
have for President Mckinley, vet it
must be admitted that to them Sena-
ator Hanna is the maiusprlng of poll
tical action in their favor, and they
feel that he is the best friend they have
at court. 1t is pleasing to note that
the Senator is so broad minded that
he is able TO give credit to a man who
proves himself to be such that the
color of ones skin is not the standard
by which he judges a man S qualifica-
ton. Hence it is, that through his
instrumentality, CoIored men cf ability
are recognized by this administration
and they are reaping the reward of
their party fealty in various parts of
the country. This is attested by the
appointment of the Hon. Tohn P.
Green, OF Ohio, as chief of the stamp
ing division, post office department;
Rucker, of Georgia, collector of inter
nal revenue; Ruffin, of Tennessee,
consul to Paraguay, S. A; Demas, of

THE MASONIC CELEBRATION.
The fifty second anniversary of Uni
versal Lodge No. /, of this city, was
very appropriately celebrated at Re b.
erts Chapel NJ. E. Church Sunday
evening, November 10th, and it may be
truthfully said that il was the grandest
celebration, in every sense of the term,
that the Masons have ever had in the
old ancient town, and the Universals,
with the sister lodges, turned out in
massive numbers. Several of our
leading young men of honorable pro-
LESSONS, and from our best families,
who have recently connected them
selves with this ancient organization,
took this brilliant occasion to make
their public debut, and they certainly
made a handsome appearance. Mr..
Magnus L. Robinson, sgd degree, was
hOnOred by the presence of Grand
Master Jones, of Norfolk, Va, Ex.
District Master Henry l.. Holmes, Of
Arlington VIM. Bruce, esq, of the
District of Columbia, and Ex-Alder-
man John Andrew Seaton, Ex-Grand
Master of the District of Columbia
Rev. X. H. Robinson, who is at pres
ent stationed at Cumberland, Md, was
the orator of the occasion. He was
introduced by Rev. VIM. H. Gaines
The charity collection, requested by
Grand Master Jones was very literally
responded to. The choir, under the
leadership of Prof. Lumpkins, render
ed some very excellent music on the
occasion.
John A. Seaton, jr., of Fauquiel
County, Miss Lena Hopkins and Mis-:
Parker, of Philadelphia, were the
guests of Mrs. Credit on Sunday.

THE MUSICAL DIRECTORSHIP.
MRS. ALICE STRANGE DAVIS APPOINT
ED.

MRS. ALICE STRANGE DAVIS APPOINT
The second agony in the second
scene of the musical directorship of
the public schools is over, and Mrs,
Alice Strange-Davis has been declared
the successful contestant by the COM
mlttee that was appointed by the board
OF school trustees, 4. e., the musical
committee consisting of Rev. Sterling
M. Brown and Mrs. Mary Church.
Terrell. The report of the committee
was unanimous in her favor, which will
be a disappointment, of course 10 the
many hundred people who expected
either Professors Layton, Furby or
Grant would have won.
Mrs. Davis, the new directress of mu-
sic, is originally from Lynchbnrg, Va, /,
and her name was Alice Strange. She
came to this city several years ago and
was appointed to a leadership. She
married MIR. Joseph H. Davis who was
then clerk In the Pension Office. He
graduated in law from the Howard
law school and after the election of
Grover Cleveland, he with several
other republicans was dismissed as
an offensive partisan. He moved to
Baltimore, Md, where he commenced
the practice of his profession. He
was successful lawyer and won quite
a reputation as civil lawyer He
was taken i'll and died, which left sur
vlvlng him, Mrs. DAVIS, the newly ap-
pointed musical directress and one
child. She returned to this city and
begun teaching music, and was subse-
quently appointed by Mrs. Trustee
Terrell one of the music teachers.
Trustee Brown says that the examina-
ton was in every sense, practical
one and that Mrs. Davis fairly won
the prize.

THE PARTY'S DUTY.

The writer has been a republican
always, he believes in their platform
and insists that it be respected and
adhered to, and as the republican
party is in power by republican votes,
with thousands Of republican votes
muzzled, believes they should attempt
to run the government by the policy as
outlined in their piatform-negroes
right to exercise the ballot privilege,
as we'll as tariff, finance and other
planks. Indeed the former is vastly
more important, for it goes to the very
foundations on which our institutions
are built. The three solitary states
in the American Union having negro
majorities are Mississippi, South Caro-
lima and Louisiana, two of them with
a decided minority forcibly possessed
the constitutional (?) convention,
which forged yokes for the necks OF
the majority, and as the Supreme
party stand silent the third will wheel
in line to do the same thing next
spring.
Mr.. Editor, am neither a preacher
nor prophet but | warn the country
that anarchy is on the march, but
while the negro has not joined the
procession it is not well to forc1bly
make him less a. home here than your
worst aliens. There may come a time
when this alienation may prove the
most desperate element to deal with,
especially in time of the nations great
peril. Republicans go to the rescue
and vindicate the cause of the fathers
of the party who made all that is
worthy in it. Negro delegates and
negroes who exercised controlling in
fluences in helping to make delegates
to the late national convention which
ramed a platform plank promising
protection to the ballot, there will be
a reckoning should you permit your
party to fulfil all promises but those
to your enslaved, outlawed and dis
franchised race Four years will be
allowed you to use your influence with
the party in behalf of the race that
honored you. We are watching you.
Be men and speak out for your rights,
or sneak away to the rear and hide
your faces in shame.
Yours for the race,

On the reception of the above letter
he called at the asylum and tried to
see his client but he was refused,
hence he wrote a short letter to the
manager. In reply to his letter he re-
ceived from MIR. Godding the follow
ing reply:
JAMES H. SMITH,
ATTORNEY-AT-LAW,
5o3H d St. n. w.
SIR:-Iour letter of the 22nd inst
received, contents noted. You was
right in not waiting for my return, and
my assistant was right in not acting in
any matter that could properly wait
for my decision.
1t is trust in which client can con-
suit with his attorney, but you will
readily understand that the custodian
ship OF persons legally adjudged in
sane carries with it certain rights, as
well as responsibilities, to protect both
the insane man and the community,
among which is deciding who may
properly visit the patient.
10 illustrate, if you were so unfortu-
nate as to have sister adjudged in
sane by jury, and committed legally
to the hospital, you would not think
that the mere fact that man had been
admitted to the bar entitled him to a
rowing commission to seek through a
hospital for clients, in the absence OF
any outsiders, and SO make the ac-
qualntance of your sister who, we NAV
suppose had the idea, that the majority
of the insane have that she was sane,
and you were instrumental in keeping
her locked up. There must first be
some foundation laid to establish a
clientship.
None of the individuals mentioned
in your letter belong to the class com
mitted by the judge of the police
court.
John w. Rice wrote you under a
misapprehension of the situation. He
wishes simply to return to the home
for District volunte soldiers from
whence he came, and his return has
been recommended, whereat he is
happy.
The females named all have guar
dlanS or responsible friends from whom
it would be desirable to have consen
for your visit, in order that | might be
able to recognize you as their attorney
