word was missed by the great audi
ence as he unfolded the inner pages
of a family record he loved SO well.
Frederick Douglass fine domestic
traits, his gentleness with children,
his strong contention for order, syS-
TEN and diligence, his keen eye for
detail, his prophetic forecast Of ma
tional tendencies and his lofty philo-
sophy were all brought forth in mo-
Gest view. The speaker was frequent
ly applauded.
Miss Florence Chapman of the Busi-
ness High School read Dunbar's tri-
butte to Douglass; Lieut.. R. e. Toomey
dramatically presented his own appeal
to THE Shade of Douglass" and
music was supplied by Misses Makell
and Crutchfield and Mr.. Manly. Re
marks were made by Congressman
George H. White, E. H. Deas, L. G.
Moore and Charles Graggs.
A collection of $3.50 was taken up to
enlist legal aid for Mrs. Ada Washing
ton, who shot a white man, claiming
that said act was in defense of family
honor. The lyecum insists upon the
sitting of the facts in the interest OF
Justice. The sum of SAL was also
collected for lyceum expenses
in all.
At the executive session a resolution
was adopted praying the President to
withdraw the nomination of George r.
oester, whose confirmation as collec-
tor of internal revenue for South
Carolina is under consideration. Koes-
ter is charged with having participated
in the lynching of three cOlOred men
in 1893 and it is said that he admits
the charge, explaining that the lynch
ing was justifiable. A strong fight Is
being made against Koester's confrma-
ton.

what has become of the Congress
sional Lyceum?
There is talk of a Sunday Iyceum at
Lincoln Temple, 18th and r. streets.
The location is very convenient for
uptown patrons.
The lyceum fever is a very COM
mendable epidemic, but it is being de-
cidedly overdone in the interest of
personal prominence for a few indiyi-
duals.
President Thompson of the Second
Baptist Lyceum, retires tomorrow
after faithful and successful admin
lstration Of over two years. Pressure
of private business and literary de-
mands led to his resignation.
Mr.. L. M. Hershaw has resigned the
presidency Of the Shiloh Baptist Ly-
ceum. He also announces that he will
not under any circumstances stand for
reelection as president of the Pen and
Pencil Club.
Lyceum presidents should adopt
their policies to the particular needs
and tastes of it's clients-lead some
distance ahead, but not permit them
selves to get out of sight of their fol-
lowing. Certain organizations thrive
best on academic discussions; others
get most benefit from plain practical
talks and in actively aiding move
ments for the public veal. Second

PROTECTING THE RACE.
Legislation Desired to Guaran-
tee Privileges for CoIored
Physicians and Nurses.

AS there is some fear that when tbe
new municipal hospital for the Ms
trlct OF Columbia is built there will
be much discrimination against color
ed physicians and nurses, and especial
~ against the medical students of
howard University, who will not eniov
the clinical advantages of the new
hospital which they now eniov ar
Freedmen's Hospital and which are
so necessary for proper understand
Ing OF practical medicine, an effort js
on Ioot TO have the friends of Howard
University Medical Department obtain
the following congressional legisIa-
Clon SO that the colOred physicians
nurses, and medical students will
nave guaranteed to them the same pri-
VlIeges they now enjoy at Freedmen's
Hospital.
FIRST A modern hospital and
training school for nurses is desired.
Ihe hospital building to have a ca
pacity OF one hundred beds, reseryinz
twenty-five per cent. for pay patients.
Inc nurses training schol to be first
class IN every particular so that
young women from the South. where
facilities for training good nurses are
poor, may have an oportunity for a.
post course here. This is especially
desirable as these gentle women.
When they have completed their
courses, will go back to the South and
into the homes of the best people of
the South where their influence and
training will be a potent factor IN
making friends for the race in the
South where most of our people must
live. They will thus take the place of
the "old aunties" of whom we heard
so much in ante-bellum days.
Second. 1t is desired that such a
hospital and nurses training school
be supported by the Federal Govern
ment, just as the Law Department of
Howard University is now supported,
and that the management be under
the control of the Secretary of the
Interior, who will appoint a Board OF
Managers for the proper control of
both hospital and nurses training
school
The staff of the Hospital will serve
without compensation, and as there
will be no salaries there will be no
politics
It is to be hoped that all friends of
Howard University Medical Depart
ment who are interested in the great
"Ork OIL LrdlHlHS COIOFou physicians
and nurses and who know what an en-
viable reputation the Medical College
has for it's thoroughness in properly
training its physicians because of
the connection with Freedmen's Hos
pitaI and the clinical advantages Of
fered in it's wards for the practical
instruction of young physicians. will
do all within their power to have the
facilities we now enjoy at Freedmen's
Hospital guaranteed to us by Congress
as suggested above.
