HOME FOR AGED AND INFIRM.
Proposition Made by Geriah LamlS ms.
COIOred Minixter.

COIOred Minister.
The Rev. S. Geriah I.amkins of 2541 Mess
more avenue several days ago submitted
to the District Commissioners a rough out
line of his ideas of the necessity for a
home for aged and infirm colored people
in the District, the organization of which
he proposed to promote. and requested add
vice as to the best method of raising funds
therefor. Upon the suggestion of Commits
sioner Ross. who has immediate super
vision Of District charitable institutions re-
ceiving aid from the District, the matter
has been referred to the Superintendent of
charities for his consideration and report
With directions to furnish the Commission
ers with such information as he may have
as to the necessity for such an institu-
ton
Mr.. Lamkins proposed to the Commits
sioners that the institution should be
known the Chester A. Snow Home for
the Aged and Infirm Colored People of the
District, Its object being, he said to pro-
vide place of refuge as. a shelter for
aged and infirm colored people of the Dis
trict who might be found worthy by the
proper authorities. He designated himself
as the president of the organization, recon-
mending that the following persons should
be the trustees thereof: John w. Ross, L.
NJ. Saunders, Andrew Gleason. Perry H
Carson, NJ: NJ Parker. Horatio n. Taplin
and Daniel Murray, whose duty, among
other things, it should be to hold in trust
and keep a piece of property fronting
sixty feet on Champlain avenue and run
ming back a depth of 40 feet. The fol-
lowing clergymen were suggested by Mr..
Lamkins as the board of managers for the
institution: ID. h. Rivers, S. n. Brown,
Daniel E. Wiseman, Geo. w. Lee, l. l..
Thomas. VIM. V. Tunnel. W. Bishop John
son, James H. Hill and Frank j. Grimke
A number of other suggestions were made
by MIR. Lamkins, with the explanation that
the persons whose names he had men,
toned had not been consulted, and that
he would be pleased to have the Commits
sioners alter, change discard any of
his recommendations. they might deem
proper and advisable.

THE COLD WAVE.
Lower Temperature From Maine

Lower Temperature From Maine to
California and South Points.
The foreboding. blsck-center cold wave
flag tugged furiously at it's lashings to the
signal pole of the United States weather
bureau this morning, and stood out bold
and taut in the thirty-mile northwest wind
which is bringing to Washington a frigid
excursion from the western realms of Jack
Frost. The advance guard of the cold
weather invasion reached the city this fore
noon, the thermometer which officially re-
cords the temperature fer tine national cap
ital taking tumble from 30 degrees above
at 6 o'clock this morning to ~ degrees at
II O'Clock. The bureau predicts that dur
ing the day a fall of from thirty to forty
degrees may be expected, and that tomor-
row morning the mercury will probably
take drip to 10 degrees above the zero
mark. 1t was at first expected that rain.
turning into snow, would accompany the
cold wave, and thus place it within the
class of billiards., but according to the
latest reports this undesirable feature has
been eliminated and need not be feared in
this section.
The cold wave is making a general sweep
of the entire country, extending from Can
ada to the Gulf of Mexico. This area of
from the Pacific coast on schedule time,
having been very consistent in its behavior
throughout. This mornings early observa-
tons discovered the eastern edge of the
cold wave in the Allegheny mountains. The
advance of the wave HAS been attended
since yesterday morning by a fall in tenn
rerature of thirty to fifty degrees from the
lake regions over the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys and the west gulf states The line
of zero temperature has been carried
through northern Illinois and northwestern
Missouri, and will reach northern Pennsyl-
vania some time tonight. The line of freez-
ing weather is expected to extend as far
south Jacksonville. Fla.
AS it was preceded by remarkably high
ranges of thermometer across the country,
the cold snap has been the more severely
felt 1t is being followed by warmer
weather, the rise in most instances being
almost equal to the preceding drop. In
Washington it is promised the moderation
will begin Sunday morning.
A cold northwest breeze has been blow
ing across Washington since early morn
ing, the highest velocity being thirtysiX
miles hour
The force of tie cold wave has been felt
severely throughout the middle west dur
ing the past twenty-four hours, the
latest reports to the weather bureau indi-
cate. In Chicago the thermometer dropped
from . m dximum of 81 degrees to de-
grees. range of fifty-eight degrees. In
Galveston the drop was from 66 degrees to
freezing, 81 1egrees, a remarkable fall for
that section of the country.

A Shabby Looking Peer.

The duke Of Norfolk, who has vol
unteered to resign the position of post
master-general in the British cabinet
with the idea Of going to the front in
South Africa, is one of the richest peers
in England, as well as leading repre-
sentative of the Roman. Catholic reli-
gion in the house of lords. HI is noted
for his kind heart and for his utter dis
regard for his personal appearance, re-
lates the Chicago Tribune. So far is
he from a proud and naughty DISPOSE
ton that he is known by the tenants on
his estates as Uncle Henry" Because
of the poor clothes which he wears he
has been the victim Of some curious
and amusing adventures. On one occa-
sion he had engaged to distribute the
prizes to the pupils of convent. In
stead of riding to the convent in state,
he walked, and was met in the grounds
by one of the sisters, who, judging
from his appearance that he was an
applicant for charity, expressed her
sorrow that relief was not distributed
On that day.
II know, sister," said the duke, "but
you do distribute prizes, and I have
come to distribute them for you"
