1t was while being swayed by one
of her periodical desperate outbreaks
that La Chiquita Senorita earned her
present exile from Santa Rosa. She
had been drinking heavily. SAYS the
Chicago Tribune, riding her horse into
saloons, and "settin' them up to all
hands. She became so drunk and dis
orderly that she was arrested and
fined. With her wild heart aflame with
mingled whisky and wrath, Chiquita
once more mounted her horse. rode
madly to her tent on the outskirts of
the town, and before startled Santa
Rosa could fairly catch its breath. was
back on the main street. riding like a
whirlwind, and shooting with either
hanr at everything in or out of sight.
The town promptly hunted its hole,
and for the two hours of daylight yet
remaining, Cora Chiquita shot and
rode as she listed. When the morning
dawned the sulphurous taint of the
smoke of La Senorita's revolvers still
burdened Santa Rosa's otherwise
balmy air, but the girl herself was
missing.
While Cora Chiquita is no mystery.
there has always been sufficient spec
ulatiOn as to where she procures the
money with which she is always more
than literally supplied, a financial
amount far beyond that of any source
apparently at her command. This
moneyed conundrum. together With
the fact that the girl herself is from
the Indian nation, once the breeding
place and refuge of bandits Of ali
classes, has led to a suspicion that
Cora Chiquita may be the shrewd ad-

The District Government.

The above was the subject of 8
paper before the Citizens A8socia-
tion of Brightwood, D. c., Feb.
14th, by R. Hutcheson. Esq. of
the District bar. 1t was one of the
most scholarly papers that has ever
been delivered by any lawyer. Mr..
Hutcheson favors suffrage in the
District. He thinks that we should
have a Mayor, delegate TO Congress
and other oficers. He gives some
very sound reasons why we should
have an elective government. He
reviewed graphically and eloquent
ly the government of the Roman
Empire, from the time Of Rom1lus

eEt form 0 government and criti-
cised it as being "paternal, and

OUR SCHOOLS.

It is reported that our Business
High School is to be turned into
an industrial school and tie prln-
cipal of that department will, or
has been transferred to 4 first year
school. The Bee hopes that the
report is not true. While it is
true that not many inducements
are offered to our Pusiness High
School graduates, nevertheless, the
colored youths wanta business ed
ucation. Industrial Education IS
good enough for those who want
it. Nevertheless the colOred youths
are as much in need Of higher edu-
cation >as the white child. The
oolorsd population Of this city con-
sists of one third of the entirety,
and the colored citizens pay taxes
on over fl teen million dollars worth
of property. Why should the Bus
iness High School be abolished if
the property owners war t If? In
the recent school report General
BOvton tells how the white youth
is provided with employment after
he graduates from the Business
High School. but he says nothing
concerning the cOlored youth. Per-
haps he has reason for doing so.
There has been no principal of the
colored High School since the time
Prof, F. L. Cardozo, who has
tsken sufficient interest in the col
ored youth to secure him employ
ment after his graduation. In this
connection The Bee is free to ad-
NIT that Con missioner John ".
Ross did more for the the cOlored
High School graduates, under the
tudorship of Prof. CardOzo, than
any official under any administra
ton. No official takes more pride
in helping the young negro, from
the High School. to secure employ
ment than Mr. Ross did when he
was city Postmaster. Although a
democrat, hehad no prejudice and
indeed, lie is the same today toward
the colored youthas he was years
ago. The colored citizens had bet

Going Up Higher.

TEE BEE hes always maintained
that the eolored school officials Of
this city committed a great blum
der when they failed to appoint
Prof. H. NJ. Browne principal Of
our High School. Prof. Browne
has more sense and possesses more
executive ability and education
than any negro teacher in the
United States. When he resigned
as teacher of physics in the II Oh
School, the oolored schools lost one
Of the most valuable negro teachers
in the United States. The state Of
Maryland found in Mr.. Browne a
man Of ability. He leaves Mary
land and goes to Philadelphia, Pa. q.
as principal of that famous High
School there. This school has sent
out some of the most able men in
tie country.
Our Colored High School is
in need Of a strong man at its head
and until We get such one it is not
expected that the Washington
High School will compete with the
other great schools of the country.

think it is best for republican
presidents to appoint republicans
TO office.
If the President listens to Book

political hole. Just what the aG-
vice is that he has been giving to
the President may have impressed
him at first.

In discussing a measure which

senate providing for an extension
OF the free mail delivery system in
small cities and villages, one OF the
officials in the service at Washing

"The time has come when this idea
should be put into effect. The extern
sion of the free delivery service to
the farmers has attracted the atten-
tion OF the people in the smaller
cities and villages. The Nelson bill
is step in the direction of a uni

MACCABEEs AT MARQUETTE
Systematic Preparations to Care
For the Crush OF
Visitors.

The general committee in charge
of the arrangements for the big
state convention of the Maccabees
at Marquette next week has devised
a plan whereby the rush for accomo-
dations by the delegates and others
will be avoided upon their arrival.
Sub-committees are to be sent to
the straits, 175 miles away, and to
other connecting points, and will
return on the special and regular
trains conveying the visitors. On
the way to Marquette the strangers
will be assigned to the quarters at
which they will be entertained, with
full directions as to locality, so that
on their arrival they and the recep-
tion committees at the station will
know just where they are to go.
With hotel Accommodations made
quate to handle the many thousands
of visitors who will be there, the
citizens generally will throw open
their homes.
