The ability of Rouse Hazard & Co. to

COL. TOOMER'S ANSWER
TO .HIs WIFE's SUIT FOE DIVORCE

Nathan Toomer has filed an answer
to the suit for divorce brought by his
wife, Nina Eliza PinChback Toomer.
When Mrs Toomer filed her bill she
set forth that her husband had de-
serted her and gone to Augusta, Ga,
where he is now living.
She averTed that when he went away
he SAID he was going on business
trip and would be back soon He
claimed to have made provision for
supplying her with money for the sup
port of herself and her child, but these
provisions, she charges, were not lived
up to, and that she has been in want
some of the time since his absence.
Desertion was the grounds upon which
she sought legal separation.
Mr.. Toomer tells a different story.
He says that he is engaged in Augusta
half million of dollars, and that it is
necessary foi him to spend nearly all
of his time there, When he was about
to start for Georgia, he says, he plead
ed with his wife to go with him, but
she declined. He says he has COM
Portable home there, fitted up with
every convenience, and ready for Mrs.
Toomer to step in and be mistress of
1t at any time.
SENT TOKENS OF LOVE.
Mr.. Toomer gives an itemized ac-
count of the money, stocks, and bonds
that he has given to Mrs. toomer dur
ing their married life. 1t foots up sey-
eral thousand dollars, and includes
$1,000 in Southern Railway bonds, an
item of $1,000, and "a purse of gold,
S42o. He says that during his absence
he has frequently sent to Mrs. Toomer
tokens of his love and remembrance,
such as fruits, birds, etc "
Then he relates that in June last he
came to Washington to see his wife,
but she refused to see him. He SAYS
that while here he sent loving letters
to her pleading with her to grant him
an interview, but she would not do it.
One day he met his wife and their
child on the street, and he declares
that Mrs. Toomer "snatched the child
away from him as if he were wild
beast" He offered to give the child
$40, but he says that Mrs. Toomer
threw the money viciously i'm his face.
Mr. Ioomer sets forth that his child's
name is Nathan Pinchback Toomer.
and not Eugene P. Toomer, as stated
in the wife's petition.

THE BATTLESHIP MAINE.

The serious catastrophe which
took place near Havana on Tues
day, by which hundreds of valient
seamen and millions of property in
the shape of one of the best gun
boats in the Navy were destroyed, {,
calls for most searching scrutiny
on the part of the American gov
erhment. The circumstances un-
der which the explosion took place,
while they do not point directly to
an overt act of violence on the part
of the Spanish authorities, yet con-
sidering the hostile feeling in Spain
to America this country ought to
be certain that Spain completely
exonerates herself. In case Spain
is responsible the least which can
be demanded is full indemnity for
lives lost and property destroyed
as well as something more for her
smartness, although III our opinion
Mr.. Mckinley would be little less
than inclined to insist upon thrash
ing Spain and in addition demand
the necessary indemnity. The
President however is not to be in
veigled into war by the jingoism
so freely INDUCED in by some blus
tering Americans. He will be sure
that he is right and will then act
accordingly. There will be a hot
time if Spain did it.

NOT HIS RELIGION.

We want it distinctly understood
that We are not oppose to DIR. West
on account of his religion. What
difference is it to us whether the
man appointed surgeon-in-chief of
Freedmen's Hospital is a catholic
or not, as long as he is good man?
We oppose DR.. West because he
hasn't had the experience in hos
pital work that Drs. Francis,
Purvis or Shadd have had.
DIR. Purvis should be reinstated
because he was badly treated by the
democratic Secretary of the Inte-
rior, Hoke Smith. We said also
last week that DR.. Francis salary
was cut down; this is not so and
we distinctly said that DIR. Francis
was not candidate for the hosplt-
al. While DR.. West is bright
physician, we are of the opinion
that some other person should be
appointed. We want DIR. West to
feel that we have no feeling against
him on account of his religion. No
man should oppose man on ac-
count of his religion. We want all
religions represented in the Freed
mems Hospital, but the chief
should be man of experience.

NEGRO EXCENTRICITIES.

This is a peculiar race. The col
ored man has many peculiarities
and a mountain of prejudice. A
successful colored man is more or
less pursued, prosecuted, and con-
demned by the thieves and buns of
his race. The suspicious Negro is
he who imagines that every mem.
Der OF his race is guilty of some of
tense. There are hundreds of
plmps among the Negroes who are
still tainted with the disease of de.
ceptlon and dishonesty. Such were
prevalent among the slaves. One
would suppose that in this age and
generation the taint of deception
would have been obliterated. Some
OF them are never at ease unless
they are watching each other and
tattling. The Negro has a lot to
learn and the sooner he learns good
common sense and ceases being the
tool of his enemies and playing the
toady the better it will be for him,

SUFFRAGE IN THE DISTRICT.

The largely attended mass meet
ing held last Tuesday evening at
the Electrical Workers Hall was
largely attended by some of the
most representative citizens in this
city. The address of Mr.. Hensey
was pointed and logical. He point
ed out many evils that exist to-day
under the present form of govern
ment. nsey ~ said -
That in his opinion the Constitution
did not provide, and it was not intend
ed that it should provide, for taking
away from the citizens of the District
the right to vote. He said that IN his
opinion it was intended that Con
gress should exercise here the same
rights that any State Legislature ex-
Cises over any capital city in which it
holds its sessions, and no other. He
went over the proceedings that
brought the capital of tie nation to
Washington; told about the gifts of
land for public buildings and for
streets by the nineteen original land
owners, and declared that it was not
the intention of the Constitution that
these nineteen original land
who gave property which the govern
ment afterward sold for more than a
million and half, dollars, besides
what 1t kept for its own use, should be
disfraEChised.
Addresses were delivered by Messrs
Milford, Spohn, Simmons Ray
burn and others.

MONUMENTAL GALL, ."

From the Galveston Times.
For such show of funmitieated gall.
such vanity and prejudice the BEE
takes the cake in that it claims that
of all the hundreds of negro editors in

three, are there, who possess opin-
ions of their own and that all the

is no man connected with the
negro PRESS who has so little opinion
