Every colored mar in Washington
who votes the republican ticket, knows
when he casts his ballot, that it is an
open approval of the present Infamous
state government, and a desire for the
continuation of the same, and he is
voting against the best interest of
those who have been his friend, in the
hour of adversely, n to whom he
never appealed in vain. The negro
knows he must rely almost exclusively
on the white democrats for employ
ment, and yet he will go to h polls,
and vote directly against their every
interest. Does the negro suppose, that
his thing can continue Indefinitely,
and that patience will not after a

Attorneys Burns and Kelly on the
part of the plaintiff contended that

They also contended that the Act OF

was a total vote in both branches Of

From the exquisite Fantasia To the

Much interest centered in the numbers
rendered by Mrs. Fred. p. Price. She
played two numbers In the difficult con-

the beautiful flute-like rendition with
the utmost fidelity. Mrs. Prices work
Is really phenomenal, as she has taken
up the organ under Mr.. Pennington at
but comparatively recent date.
Nothing, however, received more
praise than the vocal numbers by Mrs

respects the quality of these two big
voices of the singers who have none

larity, is not unlike. The round, fun.
velvety tones have great similarity.
