Eoiior's Manley's Rejoinder.

Editor Colored American:-In the
issue OF March 31st [ saw an article
by Mr., Charles E Douglass in which
references are made ID some remarks
OF mine not long since. Upon the ad-
vice OF my friends [ have concluded to
let the matter pass by with the con.
tempt which such unwarranted attacks
deserve. My statements were made in
an open meeting and if there was any
thing offensive or objection able in them
common decency should have prompt
ed the offended Mr.. Douglass to have
called me to task then and there and
not wait whole week to air bis pre-
sumed grievance in the newspapers.
My remarks were not intended to give
otfense or to be construed as Mr.. Doug.
lass presumed to understand them.
Other speakers made similar remarks
to those made by me but somehow they
escaped Mr.. Douglass notice. | am
too busy TO engage in senseless con.
troversy.

FALSE REPORTS
circulated among the ladies Of Aberdeen.
RcEJ.WoLFF ACCUSED

He offers $500 in cash to any charita ole
institution in case anyone can prove the
truth Of the reports.
Ever since l. Harris & Sons have
opened their dressmaking parlors, some
person or persons have taken it upon
themselves to circulate a report among
the ladies that George Wolff of l. Harris
4 Sons has made an effort to influence
the dressmakers of Aberdeen to raise
their prices on dressmaking, etc. Several
times Mr.. Wolff was questioned by GUS
toners concerning this, and responded
that he had no knowledge Of such inten-
tons and did not pay any more attention
to it until some Of his friends told him
that this report was circulated very
frequently, and in response these few
words: We'd not care to know who
originated it. Whoever did, shows
jealousy and wrong imaginations. Mrs.
Sewell, who has charge of the Dress
making department, and two experienced
hands, are just as busy as they can be,
because strictly first-class dressmating
ia done reasonable. I. Harris & Sons
never even thought OF what some say
they know was done, and If the person
or persons who spread this report prove
what they claim, Geo. J. Wolff will pay
$500 in cash to any charitable insti,u-
ton

TO VISIT H0QUlAM.
DR.. Darrin Will Close His Offices in
the Lowry Building April LIST.
He Goes to Hoquiam for 10 Days
Commencing April I'd.

DR.. Darrin, who has been practicing
in Aberdeen for the past two months,
will close his offices in the Lowry build
ing next Sunday, April LIST. He has
been prevailed upon to stop over a few
days in Hoqulam to accom- modate those
that ale unable to see him here.
The doctor will arrive in Hoquiam
next Monday morning and stay 10 days
only, April I'd to 10th, and will have his
headquarters at the Hotel Hoquiam,
where he can be consulted free.
The doctor has met with great success
since he has been here. His offices are
crowded daily Will, people from all over
the country, and many phenomenal
cures are reported. His visit here has
been a great boon for the afflicted, and
it is to be hoped that Aberdeen will again
in the future be favored by visit of this
eminent specialist, as he has done much
good in this vicinity, besides treating the
worthy poor free. -.
After visiting Hoquiam the doctor will
return to his head office in Portland,
where he is permanently located.
