Graduating Recital.

Miss Ethel Whitmore of this place, a Wo
mans College Frederlck) graduate of this
wear, and candidate tor the concert diplo-
ma of that institution, gave hel piano recital
at the college on Friday evening last. The
Frederick Neus critic writes of the affair
Miss Whitmore IS endowed with much
natural musical talent, supplemented hy ge
MUS for application which has given her an
enviable grasp upon the subjects of study tc
which she has devoted her time.
All were rendered with the play of light and
shade the tender sentiment, or daring de-
fiance which displays the players subjuga-
ton to the mind OF the composer as she con.
ceiycs it, and shows the difference between
the manipulation of the piano as mere
sound producer, or as an almost sentien'
creature whose tones wiring the heart or Gle
yate the soul"
That Miss Ethel is an accomplished and
brilliant pianist, possessed of talent that rises
to the plane of genus, those who have heard
her and are competent to interpret theme
and to adjudge technique, readily accord her

Local Correspondence.

During the past two months hawks and
crows have been playing havoc with young
chicks in this neighborhood. Their pillag.
ing Ia this respect has been heartleCs and
altogether unbearable. For Mrs. Thomas
Baker, most provident lady resident OF
Franklin Mills, they have carried off more
than one hundred chicks and others haye
been robbed numerically. OF this highly
important state of affairs our killed marks
men Mtssrs VIM. and Harvey Hetterly and
BILLY" Eigenbrode will please take special
notice. For The one or ones who will bring
the intolerable plunderers to justice shower
OF gratitude will be forthcoming from an at.
ficted community.

A gold watch, large clay urn, butter cup,

Baltimore Election.

On the face of the returns by the first count
Of ballots, McLane, democrat was elected
Mayor, Hefner, republican, comptroller and
Timanus, republican, president Of Second
Branch of City Council of Baltimore, on
Tuesday.
Mr.. Wachter will contest Mr.. McLane's
election.
The result of the election demonstrates that
Baltimore City remains pretty evenly bal
anced between the two great parties and that
there are q sufficient number of people who
vote independently to make difference of
1888 in majoritcs, that being Mr. Timanus'
lead over Mr.. Wachter.
The republicans win the Second and the
democrats the First Branch of the City Coun.
Gil. This result leaves Baltimore plainly in
the balance for either party to win next fall;
of one thing both State parties may rest as
sured; the one that puts up State ticket that
best pleases Baltimore will put heavy hand
leap Oh the other party.

known as St. Vincent de Paul, at South Cap

is THE NEGRO OF AN INFERIOR RAcEq

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The learned DR.. Abbott. in his address
July at Montcair N J.. said that the negro to-
day is inferior to the white man.
Permit to say that do not believe that the
Creator ever created inferior race, for out Of
one blood created He all free and equal" If
Dr. Abbott means to say the negro is inferior in
education. to this I agree. II he means to say
that he is inferior in Christian civilization and de-
velopment. 10 this I agree. But 1t seems from the
entire address that he regards the negro as In
herently inferior If this is his meaning disagree
for the negro is capable of accomplishing anything
that the white man has done.
But. granting the inferiority Of the negro, does
that Justify the white mans treatment Of the
negro? If intellectually superior to the negro
! certainly refrain from deceiving or defrauding
MIN; certainly l refuse to rob him OF his royal
rights. If l am superior race and the negro an
inferior race / certainly will be superior enough
not TO enslave, defraud steal from my interiors
To my mind honest inferiortty is far superior TO
dishonest superiority Superiority ought to succeed
without robbing its interiors
II / am financially stronger, mentally greater
than the negro, certainly viii be great and good
enough to elevate him instead of crushing him.
Man is the product of his natural and social sur
his general envirOnments-no more, less. And
he rises in the scale of goodness falls in the
balance of badness according TO the good heart
and level head he haS-nothtng more.
