Maa+;no of Colored People.

The meeting of colored people in the
Alfred street Baptist Church last night
was disappointment to many who had
assembled in expectation of hearing the
management of the John Hay Industrial
School excoriated The proceedings
were tame and far from interesting.
James NJ. Buckner presided. Mr.. M.
B. Harlow made a short address in
which he spoke in conservative strain.
He subsequently left the church when
Magnus l.. Robinson arose and contro-
yerted the insinuations which had been
made to the effect that better results
could have been realized in the manage
ment of the school. He went into many
details and among other things said 90
scholars we're now being tutored at the
school. Robinson also said that the
white people of the city had not con-
tributed $50 for the maintenance OF the
school. while the colored element had
not given $50. The bulk of the money
which had been expended in maintain
ing the school had been contributed by
people outside of Virginia. Mr.. Harlow
previous to leaving the church asked thai
a committee of five be appointed to meel
him at his Office and have a consultation
in regard to the affairs of the school, and
this committee having been appointed
the meeting adjourned. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Harlow has mortgage o
81 500 on the property.

Aiding Virginia Children.

At the National Congress of Mothers,
in session in Detroit. Mich, reports were
read Yesterday by State presidents and
organizers and the heads Of committees.
Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett, of Alexandria,
Va. told of the work being accomplish
ed in her State toward caring for unfortu-
nate children and the attempts to secure
the passage of laws restricting child labor.
at has only been of late years, " she said,
that Virginia has felt the necessity OF
such laws" This fact was attributed
TO the lack of foreign population that
has so taxed other States in the Union.
Mrs. Barrett appealed to the women OF
congress in the interest of the negro
mother and asked them to work for the
purpose of elevating the black women,
who, said, were just emerging from bar
barism. She also declared false the prin'
cipaI of taking dependent children from
homes because of poverty. If it should
ever seem necessary, she said to remove
a child from its parents because of power
ty. make the removal only temporary
and arrange affairs so the child may later
be returned to its parents if the family Is
e1er able to care for it again. Teach the
waite to honor its name, no matter now
ignoble it may have become.

Rent on Suicide.

Shortly before A o'clock yesterday
af,ernoon a woman entered the second
hand store of Joseph Goldberg, on u
street northwest, Washington, ana askeu
n he shown a revolver. Moses Levy
clerk in the establishment, was STRUCK
nv the woman's peculiar manner, ana
became convinced that she had oeslgns
mon her life. She was pale and ex-
csed;nglv nervous, and would not say
,rbot sbe wanted with the weapon. Levy
therefore engaged her in conversation,
and managed to get word to police head
quarters. Detectives Father and Par
ham were dispatched to the store and
took the woman to police headquarters,
and to Capt. Boardman the woman
frankly admitted that she intended to
kill herself, assigning as the reason that
she had long suffered from an incurable
disease and that she did not care longer
to live. She averred that she might as
we'll be permitted to carry out her inten-
ton, as, even if prevented now, she
would certainly find some other means to
make away with herself 1t waf with
great difficulty that she could be induced
to disclose her identity. Finally, she
told Detective Father that she was Mrs
Adele Schilling, thirty years old, whose
husband is an employe of the Consum-
ers' Brewery, at Rosslyn, Alexandra
county, where they live. She said they
had had children, but they were all
dead, and she wished to join them and
be out of her misery. The woman was
sent to the House of Detention.

again in statu quo. Receipts, while
light, were fully equal to the demand
and prices were nominal. Cutting was
still in progress, but the hustle of a week
or two ago no longer exists. Wagons

used for fertilizing purposes. Mounds
of fish heads and intestines sent forth an
ordor but few not acclimated to the
effluvium of Fishtown could stand, and
those not compelled to remain there did
not tarry long. The gillers report a
decided falling off in the catch of shad.

was few weeks ago.
