Northwest Gale May Prevent
Steamer Landings in Shoal Creeks.

Steamer Landings in Shoal Creeks.
The heavy northwest gale of yesterday
and last night has caused very low tides
in the river and at the Offices Of the
river and steamboat lines it is thought
that the low water will prevent the
steamers running to Potomac river points
from making a number Of the landings
in the shoal creeks tributary to the Po-
tomac. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the tide was three feet below the normal
and at low water last night and again
this morning the river fats between this
city and Alexandria and In the Virginia
channel to Georgetown were bare. The
gulls and crows were having feast this
morning catching the fish left by the
falling tides In the shallow pools on the
fats, and the ducks had a good opportu-
nifty to get the grasses growing In the
marshes. The water in the river. ii Is
stated, was lower last night than II has
been for several months. The north
wester of yesterday was the first good
hard blow that has occurred this fall.

URGES PATRIOTISM TO NEGROES
REV. NELMS THINKS MODERN
BLACK Is LUKEWARM.
Compares Him With the Colored
Man Of Ante-Bellum Days and
During Civil War.

The patriotic education Of the American
negro with the ultimate idea Of installing
In him the sacredness OF his fatherland
and the loyalty he owes to the govern

address last evening by Rev. ]. Henning
Nelms of the Church of the Ascension
at the first fall meeting OF the Sons Of
the American Revolution at Rauscher's,
Connecticut avenue and l. street
DR.. Nelms stated that the teaching Of
patriotism and national loyalty should be
the first duty of all organizations. but
especially those which were based pure
~ on the love OF the country's past
history. Among the lukewarm citizens
of the country. he said. bodies Of co!ored
people might be included.
That the negro is loyal, said the
speaker, rs accepted as a fact. During
the civil war we were shown how trust
worthy the black race was. Hardly an
old servant in any OF the southern house
holds left his master during the war.

respect the men who owned them. They

is he does not thoroughly understand,
as members of patriotic societies do. the
value OF the epochs by which they are
organized. He dimly understands that
this is the land Of the free and the home
Of the brave, but he does not delve into
the subject, except specifically.
ut Is the duty of members of such so
cieties as this to teach him, as the south
did. the elementary lessons OF loyalty
and faith. He should be impressed with
the value of liberty and its price. Patri-
otto organizations are, to my mind, best
fitted to teach him the lesson he should
earn
