Eev. Mr. White and his cohorts called on the President and asked the renomination of Messrs. C. H.

J. Taylor and U. C. C. Astwood Mrs.

Leonadas Lewis has been appointed a sewing teacher in the public schools. This is a worthy and deserving appointment. Mrs. Gussie Black Henderson, who recently cut her hand, has suffi ienrly recovered to be at her desk a.am in the recorder's office. The latest rumor is tha- there will be a change in the colored high scho 1.

There i- no school in the city that is more in need of reformation than the high school. Dr. John R. Erancis has a practice of which he should feel proud. Mr.

A. Stewart can boast of his success as a you man. Mr. Dickie Moore, of the Acanthus Club, will soon become a benedict. Mr.

toore is a young, enterprising man, and is no doubt related to one of the oldest and most highly respected families in this city. The "lady with whom Mr. Moore will unite is one of refinement and culture. THEY SAY. Be what you seem to be.

Watch your friends. Be up and doing is the watch word of the hour. The High School needs a head. If the Colored America nwants to know more let the Bee know. Judge Miller and Kimball favor a bastardy law.

The women should be protected against false men. When a woman loses her reputation she loses all. Be careful how you talk. Watch everybody is what we should do. When you do a thing do it right Look out for the Bee in its new diess.

I It ii veil to loofc wise at times. Never break a promise when you mase one. Be careful how you talk. The Sporting wolud be a Benedict if he were not afraid. All is quiet in the city government.

Col. J. W. Ross is now in control. Col.

Parker will resign. That is good news to colored re publicans. No negro republican need apply. His interest is on white republicans and not negroes. Mr.

Cleveland is right on the Ha waiian question. Let us be thankful that times are not harder than what they are. Flora Batson is the queen of song. Strange is a great elocutionist and personator. "What Are We Doing," is the subject oi Calvin Chase's address before the Shiloh Lyceum to-morrow afterooon.

The Bee is not a charity newspaper. It does not depend on contributions. Do your duty is all that can be ex pected. A better day will come for us all. Every thief fears every bush an doffi cer.

All that glitters is not gold. J. K. is a mooth writer. Be true to those who are true to you.

Never give up an old friend for a new one. Rev. Robert Johnson is a worker. Life is a chance and nothing more. Everything in life is chance.

Some peoples' tongues often do harm. Speak the truth when it is not necessary to lie. Never lie to do one an injury. Ross is in New York. His democratic paper will be issued soon.

The Conservator must have it in for Grover. THE PEESIDENT RIGHT. Jt is no use disguising the fat, President Cleveland is right on the Hawaiian question. The native Hawaiians are negroes, pure and simple, and when the queen was overthrown bj a set of renegades it was to destroy a negro government. It is the charactetics of some white people when they see negroes in control to deprive them of all they have.

An act that is morally right in itself is constitutionally right. Every American negro, not withstanding public sentiment or I party feelings, should uphold the hands of the President and denounce this wholesale theivery against the Hawaiian people and theirnoble queen. No man has ioneas mnch to defend and protect the rights of Hawaiian people tban Hon. Celso Ceasar Mareno. No mau has worked harder than he, no man has explained the situation to the President or Congress better than hehas, and yet there is an attempt on the part of a few prejudiced senators and congressmen to defeat the President in this just act.

A POPULAR MEMBER OF CONGRESS. Gen. Adams of Kentucky is one of the most popular southern gentlemen ever elected to Congress. He is not only a popular member but a great worker, as a friend of the union soldier he is a tireless worker. Fiom the time he gets his breakfast until the convening of congress at noon he is found plowing through the various departments.especi-aly the pension office, where any number of pension claims of old soldiers are being speedily pushed by him.

It pays to keep a man like Gen. Adams in congress a true representative of the people like the illnstrious Lincoln. There is none to humble to have the ear of Gen. Adams whenever or wherever they may find him. Gen.

Adams is a great man, and the Republicans of his District will, honor themselves and. the old State of Keutucky by returning Gin, Adams-to- Congress WASHINGTON, SATURDAY JANUARY 20 1894. ELECTRICALLY BAKED BRICKS. The Current Simplifies an Important Industrial Operation. A Western inventor has designed an ingenious arrangement for baking bricks by electricity.

The machine is a simple contrivance, consisting of a table covered with iron brick moulds, to which the electric current is applied. The table is 14 by 8 feet and holds 1,000 moulds, which are joined together like a lot of "pigeon holes." Each mould is the size of a brick which has been pressed, but not baked, and each has a loose cover so fitted as to follow the brick as it shrinks. The bricks are taken from the presses and placed in the moulds, the covers adjusted and the current turned on. The iron sides of the moulds form the "resistance" and the bricks are virtually inclosed by walls of fire. When the bricks have shrunk to the right size the sinking covers of the moulds automatically turn off the current, the baking is done and the bricks are dumped.

It is claimed that only three and one-half hours are required to bake bricks by this process, and they are harder and better than by the present method. Good Words for the Donkey. Of all horseflesh, so to speak, the patient, little, commonplace, every-day ass takes the lead. Tnere is no denying him the palm. Were I a Homer, or a Dante, or even a Holmes, I would indite an epic, or at least a rhyme, to the character, strength and courage of this noblest of the race.

In every country where severe economies are thrust upon the people, the donkey comes to the rescue, and does the work which no other creature alive can do. He lives on nothing; he is rarely fed in times of drought or severe work some barley but is turned loose to find what he may. He is never vicious or obstinate, but works faithfully till his poor old ears flop downward from age, and he literally falls under his load and dies in his tracks, after serving his often cruel master some score or more of years. When he is. put to work as a Vearling he does, not last so long.

I have ridden one at eighteen months which had been trained but two weeks, and yet was gentle, and well-gaited. Where is there such a horse? One sees Arabs coming into Constantinople with a donkey-load of wood, which they sell for three francs. They have come twenty-five miles with it sell it and next day ride the donkey back. As a meal costs them but two cents, the wood nothing, and the donkey does all the work, what seems a small profit is really a good one. And who is it that earns it? All saddle beasts in the East go what our Anglomaniacs call "artificial" gaits.

In fact, three-fourths of all the animals in the world do so. Mules which are ridden always "sidle" or amble; all donkeys running-walk, rack, or amble. But nowhere except in our Southern States have these gaits been studied as an art, improved on and bred from. The donkey in Algeria rarely has a saddle. He has a pad, very similar to the pad on which the bespangled queens of the sawdust ring dance their short hour to delighted boys and rus tics.

This pad has no stirrups, and is so wide as to make a seat on it extremely tiring to the uninitiated. The sits astride or sidewise, and as the pad is rarely girthed, or at best by a slender rope, it is like walking a tight-rope or managing a birch-bark canoe to sit on it until you "catch on." Between this pad, which serves equally for riding or loading, and the saddle of the Spahi there is a vast category of sizes and styles, all, however, much too wide. A pair of stirrups is often improvised by tying two bags together, putting them across the pad, turning in one corner, and thrusting the foot into the pocket thus made. The flimsy pretext for saddle or harness used all over the East would be cast on the dump by the poorest American farmer. He would not risk his bones with it Col.

T. A. Dodge, in Harper's. Absolutely Gone. Very little remains of the London nooks and corners so vividly described by Charles Dickens.

Dickensland no longer has a real existence. But what does that matter? The trans-atlantic pilgrim to the shrine of the master clamors to be shown the house in which Mr. Pickwick lived, the court in which Mr. Krook made such a very uncomfortable end of it, the actual public house which displayed Mr. Samuel Weller's extensive and peculiar knowledge of London in so remarkable a degree, the Old Curiosity Shop, Tom-all-alone's, the Wooden Midshipman and all the rest of it Why should he not be gratified? Demand inevitably creates supply and the vivid imagination of the guides stands in place of fact Any old house the history of which is not clearly known serves to preserve an illusion.

A curious instance of the way in which people are sometimes quite unconsciously and innocently led into error in these matters, writes Dickens the younger, is to be found in John Forster's "Life of Charles Dickens." Mr. Forster gives a picture of Tavistock House, which is, no doubt, accepted as a faithful repre-sentatifl6 fe Jiouse as it was when Slved in. it.
