TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
Washington and Its Inter-LOpers.

This is 8 great City for inter-
lopers. Society is not what it used
to be. Any thing is now per-
mitted to enter Washington sni
be admitted into IFS best society.
The buns from other States, take
a profession and it is not very long
b fore some giddy girls are inviting
them to their homes designating
them by titles before they are two
weeks in some professional institu-
ton. This is place forinter-'Op-
ers. The would-be white Negro
who comes to Washington seeks
the society of comm q white clerks
in the departments. The Negro
spends all of his money on the bcm
white m an while he glOrife9 to
others about his white associates
The churches soon place these in
ter-lopers at the head of the Sab
bath schools or Literary societies
The moment some of these are
made presidents of these sham or
ganizltiOns, they assume to know
more than their creators. Two
thirds of the best Negro churches
in the City to-day nave at the head
of their Sabbath schools sad Liter

no standing at their own homes

majority of the people are concern

much harm and wants more done
than the Legitimate citizen. Il they
get on a street car, they want the
entire seat, but when they go far 9
South they are quickly informed
where they are to sit. These inter
lopsrs are doing harm to the color
ed people in this community. Mos
of the scandals and other offer ces
that are committed are by these
inter-lopers. I hey never see refined
people until they come to this City
and it is here they attempt by sub
terfuge to destroy their honor and
reputation. The cOlOred churches,
societies and other organic .tions
should get rid Of the inter-lopers.

The Negro and Other People.

The time will soon come when
the Negro in this Country Wi be
recognized as q man and a citizen.
It is not expected to see the masses
of the Negro elevated. but the
more intelligent colored man,
with property and olucItion, will
be placed upon 8 footing with his
more fortunate brother in white.
The white man has every oppor-
tunity to elevate himself. He
knows how to advance his own in
tersst and he interest of Zach 9TH
er. It is be cause he hss everything
aud his opportuni les are better.
Let US hope therefore for better
days and better opportunities
The fact is that the white man
holds all the Courts and makes
all he Laws. The weak must sub
NIT 10 the will of the strong aud
take what is given him or e with
out. Ignorance is p rmiited 10
occupy the bench and pass SEN
tencss. I is more dangerous to
have an ignorS judge upon the
bench than it is o take one dose
of poison. The Negro is not ven
dicative, neither is he vicious.
Good treatment is always appreci-
ated by those who are not even
civilized.

DOG WORTH OWNING.
Strange Feats of a Pointer Who
Knew a Thing or Two.
Pointing Got to Be "A Regular Manis
with Him Until Everything That
Wore Feathers Attracted
His Attention.

Talking about bird dogs" said the
man with the shifty eye, in the rear
seat of the trolley car--and nobody,
suggests the Washington Star, had
said a word about bird dogs or any
other kind of dogs-"I had the most
remarkable bird dog that ever hap
pened, l guess, when l was living out
in Santa Barbara, Cal, in '95. 1 don't
s'pose there ever will be the likes Of
that dog on this earth again. Iraised
him from a pup. He was a pointer
from away back. 1t was just as
natural for that dog to flop on to his
launches and point at a bird as it is
for US humans to eat things that don't
agree with US.
He began to point before he had
shed his milk teeth. I took HIM out
for a walk one day when he was only
about two months old, and ii took US
about four hours to get over four
miles of ground, for that dog would
sit down and point at bird about
every ten feet Of our progress. 1t did
not make any sort of difference what
kind of bird it was that he pointed at.
He'd point at any old kind of a bird.
If little bunch of English sparrows
would settle down in the middle of the
street he'd just sit down and point at
them, and it was all I could do to get
him to come along with me. He'd
point at a robin sitting on top Of
cottonwood tree, and he'd point at
Brahmin rooster cIawing up a flower
bed in a front yard. Any old thing
that had feathers on it that dog of
mine would point at. Had him out one
afternoon when a bald-headed eagle
began to soar around above Santa
Barbara, about three miles up in the
air, and blamed if that dog didn't
catch sight of the noble bird and squat
down and point at it until had 10 bal

along with me.
''One day l had an aching tooth, and
decided to 60 TO a dentist and have
the miserable mClar yanked out.
'elt so bad that I took that pointer
pup along with me for company on
myway TO the dentist Office, and when
he got to the door he slipped into the
office with me. Next thing / knew
taht pointer pup of mine was sitting

picture of some ruffied grouse that the

In the course of time pointing got
20 be a regular mania Of that dogs,
and couldn't take hin out for exer-
else very often on account of his habit
of tagging behind and pointing at
feathered things. Took him out one
afternoon when be was about a year
old, and furniture van with a lot Of
pillows piled on top of some beds
came along. One of the pillows was
broken at the side and a lot of feath-
ers escaped. That dog Of mine saw
the flying feathers and blame me If
he didn't sit down and point at that
furniture van. Fact.
"But that wasn't the eutest thing
he ever did. The cutest thing he ever
did was one afternoon when 1 took
him down TO the Santa Barbara beach
for a walk on the sand. I hadn't any

wasn't airy a bird, not even a sea7gull,

ever a man was puzzled then I was.
At first 1 calculated that he might be
mistaking the crests of the waves for
feathers, but no, a little reflection
