NUMBER OF CHURCHES.

From the last directory of this Dis
trict issued, there appears to be us
colored churches apportioned as fol-
lows: Baptist, o.; Roman Catholic, 2;
Congregational, I; Protestant Episcopal
(including missions), !; Presbyterian,
7; Seventh-Day Adventists, 1; Sweden
borgian, I; Methodist, 81, embracing all
branches. Among our numerous church
choirs 1t may be safely asserted that
there are probably only four which may
be specially mentioned for their rendi-
ton OF church music in a highly sati-
factory and acceptable manner These
choirs are the St. Augustine's, Fifteenth

The LiIV Whites

The color prejudice among the col
ored residents in the city IS becom-
ing more alarming daily. This social
distemper will be the ruination of the
race. 1t is true that there are certain
colored people in this community who
have been trying for ages to organize
a lily white social club. The Bee
spoke briefly last week about the
Lotus Club that was organized sew
eral years ago. This club admitted
none but clerks, teachers and pro
fessional men. The. club disbandee
very soon after it was organized.
Many of its members disgraced them
selves by their immoral conduct. One
or two went to the insane asylum.
while others went to the poor house.
1t was question of position in this
club and not color. The club was
organized very soon after the Eman-
clpatlon of the Negro Clerkships.
etc, were new to the newly emanci-
pated and professional men were at a
premium. They were called the ex-
elusive set. There are one or two
other organizations in this citv now
that would like to dictate all social
functions. 1t is composed of sporting
men, a few clerks and social good
time females otherwise called the elite.
hey are not the citizens of Washing
ton but many of them have been given
social standing by the people. A his
tory of many of the members would
make the natives blush. Some time
ago a social function was to given
by one OF these clubs and a gentleman
OF high social distinction was black
balled by one of its members. The
member who black-balled him was
from North Carolina. His reason
was tilat he was not seen in MANY So
cial functions that he attended and
his wife was not known. The wife of
the member was formerly a public
school teacher and from one of the
leading families in the city Nor
mally the lady was above suspicion
and stood high socially. The mem
Der who objected to the wife and hus-
band was an unknown quantity when
he came to the city, but a clerkship
III one OF the departments gave him
quasi social standing among his i'm
mediate friends. There are a few
social organizations now in existence
that have taken the names of several
white social clubs, but they are not
incorporated. Many of these indi-
viduals continue to visit department
houses, where they are frequently re-
fused.

Major F. F. Glenn, commandant at
the Columbus Barracks, took prompt and
strenuous action to quell the disturb
ance when it was reported to him. Two
companies were quickly assembled and
sent to the scene of the trouble in
double-quick time, with orders to round
up and convey to the post every soldier
they found. Both companies were arm
ed. The police officers who were rush
ed TO the scene aided the two companies
in arresting all the soldiers they could

iSTR4US SEASON ENDS.
Several Pasteurized Mik Depots
Viii, HozpeUer, Remain Open.

The fifteenth season of Nathan Strauss work in
dispensing pasteurtzed milk in this city ends to-day
with the closing OF the booths in the parks and
the recreation piers For three months Mr..
StrauS has maintained seventeen stations TO bring
pasteurized milk within the reach of many
babies possible The records show that this
season 29I7 1886 bottles 22 04S glasses of milk
were sold or exchanged for the free coupons dis
tributed by Mr. Straus-
That the babies who have thriven pasteurfzed
milk may not be compelled TO run the risk of in
lection from the of raw milk. Mr. Straus has
arranged TO keep six OF his stations open through
the fall and winter. These all the year round
depots win be at No. 151 Avenue c. No. Il Monroe
street No AL West 33d street. No. 800 East 59th
street No So8 East Nth street and No. Ss Mac
dougaI street.
Before next summer Mr.. Straus will be prepared
10 increase the supply of pasteurized milk and
tend the work OF saving babies lives During the
last four seasons the demand for this milk has
the capacity of the Straus laboratory at No
ISL Avenue c. as the agitation OF the milk problem
has made mothers acquainted with the risk they
run In giving their babies raw milk
To meet this Increasing demand Mr.. Straus has
erected a new five story laboratory at No. S4S-35O
East 32d street. at cost OF over 100000 The
building is now under roof and will be finished ana
equipped with n large pasteurizatfon plant TINS
winter and will be in full operation before spring.
The CITY also is preparing 10 build permanent
milk stations in the parks and to provide addi-
tionaI depots at which pasteurized milk can be
had the year round. the fifteen years since
Mr. Straus first provided for the proper feeding OF
babies and children with milk in which the germs
have been killed there has been n steady increase
in the number OF stations and in the quantity of
pasteurized milk consumed The totals for the
fifteen wears show the dispensing of 1S71o&2 bot
ties and 10,OS9674 glasses.
