MICS MAY DINE WITH WHITES
AN OLD ACT IN DISTRICT OF CO.
LUMBIA Is REVIVED.

Hotels, Restaurants and All Public
Places Compelled to Serve Negroes.
Prices Made Prohibitive.
A Washington, D. c., dispatch says
decision has been rendered by
Corporation Counsel Thomas that
hereafter hotels, restaurants, cafes,
ice cream saloons, places where soda
water is sold and barber shops in the
District of Columbia will be com
PEELED to serve colored persons in
the same room and at the same price
as white persons.
The civil rights act of forty years
ago is still in full force and effect,
but nobody pays the slightest atten-
ton to it, All the yeneering of pO-
likeness in refusing the trade of ne
groes has gradually worn off, until
all the fashionable places merely an
nounce to an intending customer of
color that negroes are not served.
In the future the old plan must be
restored and undesirable patrons
driven away by charging prohibitive
prices
Prices to BE PrOhibitive.
If a negro should float into the
favorite collation. room of upper
tendon and meekly ask for a cup of
coffee he will be politely informed
that the beverage will cost him $2.25.
If he wants a plain small steak he
will be notified in advance that the
check will be SLIGO, and with on
ions $16.25. The courts have sus-
tanned such tactics.
DR. Robert w. Brown started the
trouble by writing a letter to the
president in which he asserts dis
elimination because of color in the
lunch room of the new 100000, 900
union station. Dr. Brown declares
he represents 10000 colored people
in the district, as well as the senti-
ment of all the colored people in the
country, in characteriZing as an out
rage this injustice perpetrated on a
helpless people, and in the shadow
of the capitol of this great and glo-
rious nation.
CorpGSation Counsel Thomas says
there appears to be applicable to the
situation the act of June 20, 1872,
which provides that proprietors in
case of refusal to sell to or wait upon
any respectable, well-behayed per-
son. without regard to race, color or
previous condition of servitude, shall
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor,
and upon conviction shall be fined
500 and shall forfeit his license.
The negroes express some indig-
nation because Mr.. Thomas did not
announce his decision before cleo
ton.
