Carmel Baptist Church pooled service on Sabbath last. They both agreed several years ago to travel to Heaven augmently by a spirit of reunion. On last Sabbath, they saw that it was impossible to make the trip successfully so they resorted to the letter and spirit of Holy rit and concluded to travel united and consequently they shoi)k hands over the bloody chasm. Rev. W.

B. Johnson, D. pastor of the Secoud Baptist church, preached a very able sermon upon the subject of Christian uniou Rev. Geo. W.

Lee, paBtor of the run Jtsaptist ctiurcu leatt in pruyer, after which Rev. Lumkins appeared upon the scene of action with smiles as radiant as the noon day sun. It was quite a pleasaut and enjoyable atiair. There are one or two more christian churches, not a hundred miles away might do well to imitate the example set. Hundreds of souls are being converted who never saw Dr.

Talmage. Why is it that the ministers of Washington, do uot publish some of those rich, wholesome and searching sermons they reported on Sunday morning to the ministers meeting? Some poor harden sinners would have an opportunity to drink in God's spirit through the columns of the Bee they are opeu to the ministers free. The Bee has a very large circulation, Ex-Senator B. K. Bruce, npw Recorder of Deeds, is the recorder and not a figure head and don't you forget it.

The Bee is read by the best people of this country and comes out every week in time for all church goers to read before Sabbath dawus. Why not publish your service for each hour on Sabbath in the Bee. Brother pastors it can be done cheaper than any other paper in the District. Do not permit prejudice to run away with your better judgement. A large crowd gathered on the bridge and bank of Jthe Eastern Branch, to witness Rev.

C. R. Champ, Sunday morning, filty two persons were immerged one or two con gressional saloons were observed on the Baptismal bank. The Baptist Congress met May 7th in Mt. Joztreal Baptist church.

HOW TO DRESS CHILDREN. The maternal pride that prompts all mothers to dress their children as well as possible under adverse circumstances, says a sensible writer in 4The Ladies7 Home Journal," also indnces them to spend many an hour over their clothes without begrudging either the labor or time. Fortunately the inost appropriately dressed girls are the plainest clothed, just at present but, by being plain in style, it does not follow that the little frock is not to be of a danty material, tastefully made and in a becoming manner. Do not put too sobre a color upon a sade-faced child; neither have all around sashes on a stout little figure, which requires tapering effects. A little thought will soon settle this part of the task, which is the Bimpllest.

Blousesuits of the cottons imitating flannel lawn tennis flannel, which is part cotton and all wool blue and white flannel, and serge are the most com for ta ble of play dresses, and for little ones at the seaside nothing can replace them. If trimmed in any manner, let it be white cotton or woolen braid, according to the ma-f Ariai nf the dress. Sew the gath ered skirt, which is amply fall and hemmed, to a seleaia and have a sailor blouse, liith the regular sailor collar andlcoator shirt sleeves, with a round neck of ny band as preferred. Misses wear the blouse suits made in a similar style, and their half worn skirts may be entirely worn out with two or three odd blouses made in this fashion, or, as belted waists flan? SUrah 8tnPed teunia Nainsook of guimpea may be uu reaoy tucked, or the white em-broidery can be used. Separate guimpes are advocated, as they are easier to wash.

White frocks are of plain nainsook or embroidered flouncing, 27 inches wide. of last season may be remodeled by adding a waiat belt of insertion, vest of the same and revers of edging over a tucked goimpe. If the skirt is too short, lengthen it with a row of insertion let in. Plaid and striped ginghams are always neat with accessories of embroidery, and small figured sateens are frequently made over for little ones and worn with the inevitable guimpe, which is called an "American idea," though it originated in France. Any dress to be made over for a young girl can have new sleeves, yoke and Fkirt border of tartan plaid woolen goods, cut bias.

This may be used for any plain, dark woolen goods, and if the renovated dress is of striped material, r.ho extra portions added are of plain cashmere. Their sleeves are lull, collars high, or pleated and turned over, and the skirt6 are usally full and gathered. Round waists, jack et bodices and pointed basques having full fronts, are worn by young girls, with full vests, girdles half belts, and cuffs similar to those worn by older girls. The only silk addition made to tneir toilettes is of surah or India in small figures. A WORTHY LETTER FROM THE NEGROES' FRIEND.

PUBLISHED BY REQUEST OF MANY. Washington, D. C. April 14, 1890. 606 11th n.

w. Gentlemen I have the honor to ackowledge the receipt of your invitation to participate in the celebration on Emancipation day. I know of nothing that would afford me greater pleasure thau to be with you were it within the bounds of possibility. Important business in a distant city will necessitate absence from Washington on the coming anniversary of the day you very properly celebrate. As the son of Levi Coffin, the President of the Underground Railroad, through whose doors over four thousand slaves found their way to freedom, and who indirectly aided many thousands of others, I need not assure you that my heart is with you.

In the old days when the clang of the slaves coffle echoed through the land and brought tears to the eyes and wrung the heart strings of the abolitionists of the old guard, my sainted Quaker parents spent fifty thousand dollars, risked imprisonment, risked even their lives in behalf of the down-trodden slaves. I was in that kind of atmos-. phere I was born and brought up and every succeeding anniversary of Emancipation day seems to bring more and more vividly to my mind the scenes of my boyhood in connection with the escape of slaves from bondage, which I was very often an active participant. Those were days that tried the souls of anti-slavery men. It cost something to be an abolitionist in those days, but the family of Levi Coffin, down to the youngest child, never flinched from the path which their Heavenly Father seemed so plainly to mark out for them, and so it came about that the laws of man were defied, and duty as indicated by a Higher law strictly adhered to, and the fleeing slave was made welcome to our home and fireside, aud fed and clothed, and concealed until danger was over, and then sent forward to Canada.

In closing, permit me to suggest that you should impress upon your people that higher education is what they should strive for. The mere ludimeuts will not avail in their race for equal sta tiou. Men of average education are thick as sands upon the sea shore. You must produce men of marked aud brilliant ability upon the forum, in the professions, and in the various higher callings in life, to the end that you may demonstrate beyond carvil that capacity is not in any degree lacking. Thanking you sincerely for your kind invitation and hoping that the celebration will be a great success, I remain very truly yours, Henry W.

Coffin. GLOBE THEATRE. Messrs Roop and Nopper again offer another monster programme for their patrons tue coming week, and we are informed that it will far surpass any previous efforts. Four shows combined in one, re announced and judging the names on the programme, the audience will enjoy a great treat a beautiful Female Minstrel Scene. A grand Olio, and superb Sparring between the celebrated noted pugilist.

Tom Allen and Billy Dacey also grand Wresting matches, concluding each programme with George France and Lulu Delmay's Borden Dramas entitled "Fair Play" Regular matti-nees. THEY" SAY SbjKRcd It is the poor white people that are prejudiced against the Negro. A well reared person has no prejudice. Cowards are brave before they arrive on the field of battle. So will some men abuse you in your absence.

There never was a horse so show footed but that he stumbled. It is the grining man that you must watch. Jealousy very often forces people to do mean things. Your friends are at times as dangerous as'your enemies. It was J.

C. Matthews who increased Johnson's pay as a clerk and farther increased it before he retired from office. 1 Matthews was greatly abused, but he was honest. He was not effected with the color-phobia. A just man is bound to receive his reward.

A knave can never succeed. Matthews was brave aud had sand. Be honest in all you do, it may not succeed in the begiuing, but ic will end well. An honest woman will never give you bad advice. Ebenezer D.

Bassett didn't get tnu San Domingo mission. The President made a good appointment. Evil to him who evil thinks. Honest men think evil ol no one: It is the thief that is suspicious of his shadow. Disappointments are for us all.

It is rumored that two more weekly papers will be published in this city. Graves are plentiful aud inoun-ers are numerous. Ruffln is doing a live leal estate business. Another "skin, stock company is about to be organized. The stock is 85 per share.

Doga bark when they hear a noise. A good dog is obedient and kind to his master. Let honest men join the Legion ot Honor. Never go to your friends when you are in trouble. There are exceptions sometimes.

The pimp that conspired to injuie Fred. Dyson is a common pauper. A man who attempts to traduce his wife is a coward. Especially when she vakes him out of the gutter, so to speak. Meaness cannot prevail where justice predominates.

It is as easy to do right as it is to do wrong. Men who know that it is injurious to do that which is detrimental to them, should not insist in doing that which will operate against them. A change will take place in the Sergeant at Arras'of the Senate. People get angry at times because you refuse to do things to your detriment. You can do 999 favors for your friends and if you refuse to do the last one you -get no credit for all that you have done.

We Bbould not forget kindness. Don't be false to those who have aided you. If you want a live paper read the Bee. Don't be too hasty in saying yts. Always think before you speak.

S. Coolidges Harness attachment is the best thing of the kind ever put on the market. It is so arranged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cutting the "same in any way, right out in the street. It can be taken off the harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitching and unhitching as a horse can be attached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extricated in less, than 5 seconds.

It is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is removable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when worn. The particular advantage this device possesses over others consists in the construction of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as has been necessary in order to use devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines being connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unmanageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, aud the spring 24 will cast the plate 16 a-side and release the animal from the vehicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unhitch a horse without the slightest trouble.

Thousands of the attachments are being used every day. VANNESS PARK 17th aud 0 Streets, n. w. Mareellns West, Proprietor THE MOST FASHIONABLE RESORT IN THE CITY. Can be rented for public or private PICNICS.
