Ernesi liogan and his company nave brought two rare and welcome things to Boston, a show that will really jiyikc you laugh and a chorus that can sinR. I he company has delighted packed houses at every performance and many of the most prominent white and colored people hereabouts have gone and not only been entertained, but in structed. The case of Rev. J.

Henry Duckerv of Cambridge, and formerly of Phila delphia, has at last been settled appar tiitly. The reverend, formerly pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist church, was award ed $2,000 damages last Thursday in his suit against Deacon A. B. Jones for defamation of character.

The case grew out of the Mt. Olive church troubles, in which charges and counter-charges have been 'flying thick and for several years. After several vain efforts to secure a reiraction of the story that he had -received a $200 church subscription and had turned in only $100, the ener getic, influential pastor brought suit for $10,000 damages: The donor, General N. It. Lawrence, was put on the stand and testified that his subscription was but $100.

Rev. Duckery had succeeded in securing a large number of white and colored admirers by his zealous ef forts to brim? a large number of le- grocs from the South and by his fur ther efforts to place deserving colored citizens in good positions. In both di rcctions he was remarkably successful. He was best known, before his retire ment into private life, as the friend and advisor of Mayor McNamee, of Cam bridge. The ministers conference of Boston and vicinity convened recently at the Shiloh Baptist church for the purpose of reorganization and the election of officers for the ensuing term.

After the preliminary reorganization was effected the following officers were elected Rev. J. Anderson Wooten, pastor Shi- president; Rev. Samuel H. Barrett, secretary: Kev.

A city exclusively for Negroes is to be built in West Virginia if the plans of the projectors do not miscarry. Eight miles from Charleston, the State capital, is tbe West Virginia Colored Institute, an institution for the higher education of the colored people, maintained by tbe State. Former State Tax Commissioner C. W. Dillon of Fayette county, baa purchased some 500 acres immediately adjoining the colored institute property.

He ia having it cut up into city property, grading streeta, laying cement sidewalks, putting in electric lights and aewerage, and is constructing a large city park. He -will refuse to sell a lot in his town to any but a colored person, and with the distinct understanding that no white man is to be allowed to live in the city. It ia believed tbe Negroes will take to tbe idea, as the place is close enough to Charleston to enable them to retain their positions in Charleston and live in the Negro community. i PlalaOeld Notes.
