Recently it was reported that a do

fractured the base of the skull. The

Cutters have certain rules for sharp

He introduced Commissioner John W.
Ross. who made the first address.
Mr.. Ross talked of the condition of col
ored citizens of the District and gave in
teresting statistics. He said the negro
population Of the District was over SO, 900:
that there were 104 churches conducted
by colored people, and that there were
80 public schools affording a liberal edu-
cation to colored children. The assessed
valuation of this school property, he said,
was 81. 100000. Mr.. Ross said that he con-
sidered it well TO handle the subject pes
simisticslly rather than otherwise, and
directed the attention of the council to
thousands of negroes who live in the alley
districts. There, he said, crime and dis
ease prevail. Prof Hart and his follow
ers. with the kindergarten system OF Mrs.
Hurst. had done much to aid the unfor-
Inmates in these districts, and the Church
would do well TO turn its attention TO
such places.
The Commissioner praised the work OF
the colored employees in both the Govern
ment and city departments of Washington.
He cited statistics to show that the negro
employees in the Government service were
paid yearly $3.50, 600; that the schools en-
ployed 500 colored teachers, paying them
$500. 600; the police force employed 40 ne
hospitals. 1877 are employed, receiving In
salary s34, goo; the Street Cleaning Depart
ment pays out to its colored employees 500
coo yearly; on railroad and street con-
struction 500 colored workmen are en-
ployed at a compensation annually OF sl70,-
900; the Water Department gave work to
$50 men, paying $4,000 annually; in mis-
cellaneous directions $50 are employed re-
ceiving annually $4,000. This makes a
total Of 1900 colored men employed in the
city, receiving 100000 annually in salaries
and wages
Commissioner Ross ended his address in
a welcome to the Bishops to the city OF
Washington.
The Rev. Francis J. Grimke then made
an address Of welcome for the city
churches. He then praised the noble spirit
OF the Bishops in their work, urging them
TO keep the spirit alive. He praised the
work Of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church in stimulating negro manhood.
