who are guests at the executive mansion. The four tirst named were escorted to tho pew Dr. Scott selected for the President at the letting boiuo weeks ago, while the others of the party were scattered around wherever thev could lind vacant seats in the neighborhood. The crowd at tho church was large, as it was expected the presidential party would attend there, and I)r. Hamlin offered an earnest prayer that those who had come into the sanctuary from motives of curiosity alono might not get away without feeling the effect of clivmo grace. Having got tho sinners cornered, as it were, he went for them in the most business-like manner, and he prayed for the President., too, asking that the Divine hand might guide him through his responsibilities, and divine wisdom inspire all his acts. It occurred to me that the President might not feel very much Mattered by the amount of attention he received in the good pastor's prayer, and that he must have felt relieved that there was no reference to him in the sermon, wftich was preached from John xiv, 9: "Ho that hath seen me, hath seen tho Father also." I noticed, too, the earnestness with which, he joined in the singing of the opening hymn, which was most appropriate tohis case, and there was no doubt but he sang from the heart. In holy duties let this day In holy pleasures pass away, And draw from heaven that sweet repose Which none but he that feels it knows. The crowd staid by to watch the presidential family as they passed out of church and blocked the aisles, but the objects, of so much interest did not seem to mind it much, but shook hands with a number of old friends and tarke.d as they went slowly down the aisle, just as if they were ordinary people. WHITE AND BLACK

Result of an Inquiry Among the Charitable Institutions of the District. Washington, March 10. The report of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, in response to Senator Edmunds's resolution of last month, asking them to furnish any information in their possession concerning tho exclusion of persons from any of the charitable institutions in the District on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, has been received. Many, if not all, these institutions received aid from Congress, which was one reason why the inquiry was made. In order to roach an intelligent understanding, the Commissioners sent a circular to each of the charitable institutions of the District, containing a copy of the Senate resolution, and asking for the policy of the managers on the subject, and their answers accompany the Commissioners' response. The replies show, in a great majority of cases, that no discrimination is made, but several are either not so cltaror admit that colored applicants are not admitted. The secretary of the German Orphan Asylum writes to the Commissioners that there is nothing in the constitution or regulations of the institution concerning exclusion on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Sister Clara, of St. Rose's Industrial School, saya they have never had a colored applicant, and therefore none have been refused; "but should they apply, we would not feel bound to receive them, not being a regular public institution, and not having the apartments to receive them. It would not be supposed we could mix them with our young girls, who are mostly orphans from good families." Mrs. J. Cnrtiss Smith, secretary of tho board of the Washington Hospital for Foundlings, in her letter says: I have to say that this institution has never refused the admission of any foundling on account of race or color. Several applications for the admission of alleged colored foundlings have been made, but upon investigation of the cases by the executive committee, they were rejected as ineligible under our rule applicable to all admissions, whetherwhite or black. We have to employ a number of wet nurses for the nursing children, and whilst we may Tegret the fact that any race prejudice should exist, yet we are compelled to recognize it as a fact, and it is apparent that the necessary help could not be nad, if it should be attempted to keep white and colored children in the same wards " Sister Mary Vincent, of St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum, writes: "This institution is for white children." 'St. Ann's Infant Asylum," says Sister Agnes Kelihan, "receives infants and children from the public authorities without distinction, but to receive all who present themselves at our door particularly coloredwould be an utter impossibility." Sisters of the Good Shepherd write that "no one has ever been refused admittance into our institution. Colored children have not been received, though in some of our larger houses they have a building for them." The Sisters of the Holy Cross of St. Joseph's Asylum say: "Our asylum is for male orphans. None are excluded, but I rind from experience that white boys cannot be mixed with colored." "WAIT A MINUTE, GENTS.

Frank Lawler, of Chicago, Has a Few Words with the President. Washing ton Special. Although Congressman Frank Lawler, of Chicago, is a Democrat, the induction into office of a Republican President does not worry him. He spent the greater portion of yesterday in going around making himself solid with the President and the heads of departments, and to-day ho has been no less busily engaged in "making assurance doubly sure." Tho White House was his first calling place yesterday, and although there was a big crowd ahead of him when he arrived, he pushed his way through in a characteristic manner and had the President button-holed in the most approved style. "Wait a minute, gents," said tho Chicagoan, to a littlo bunch of statesmen whom lie had stepped ahead of, M've only got a few words to say," and then addressing tho President ho informed him that his namo was Lawler; that he was born at Rochester, N. Y on June 25, 1S42; that ho had been a shipbuilder, and took an active part in the organizing of. trade and labor unions; that he became agent for the Workingman'g Advocate, a newspaper published in the interest of the toiling masses; that he had been in the liquor business and the Chicago City Council simultaneously: that he was a member of Congress and a Democrat, and that he finally had nothing to ask for himself. To this tho President made a brief and suitable response and tried to hurry Frank along. Regardless of the thousands who were waiting Mr. Lawler continued: "But while, Mr. President, I have nothing to ask for myself, I have a Republican constituent for whom I would like you to do something. He's a good man and he onght to Ret a job under you. It's Captain Meredith, and he wants to be Public Printer. Now I want you to do the best you can for hira. and if you appoint him why I'll think you're a better man than any President we've had for some time." And he patted the President on tho shoulder, stopped for an instant with his hands in his vest pocket as though he was going to ofl'er him a cigar; secured a parting hand-shake and then moved on, to the relief of tho crowd in his rear.

was examined by a medical expert, wno declared him to bo insane.

of running away from tho lire, madly rushed toward it, with heads down and tails up, and were quickly lost sight of in

the burning grass." When they emerged on the other side it was found that all their

hair had been tiinged off, while some had

portions of the liesh burned to a crisp. Most of the horses were soon blind from swelling of the eyes.

cood Tiird storv. "I was encaged in the

monument and tombstone business," ho writes, "and made and put up in the Catho

lic cemetery of a southern Illinois town a stono imitationof a rustio cross, standing on a nile of rocks. Some few days after I had

set the cross up I had some other work to do in tlio cemetery, and my attention was

called to a largo woodpecker of the yellowhammer variety very industriously tapping

awav at mv cross. 1 said to myself, uid

fellow, 1 don't thiuk you will pan out very well on that stump. I watched him with

somo curiosity. He came to the same con-

cinsion apparently in a nine wnue ana

flew to a dead tree that had been left stand

ing about twenty feet from the cross, tried

that awhile and then ilew back to tho cross, seemingly puzzled to account for things, then back and forward for some little time, testing tho difference apparently, when all of a sudden he left and started for tho tim

ber about half a mile distant.

"I continued mv work, thinking no moro

of the matter, but in the course of half an hour, I should judge, on looking up I saw some ten or twelve birds over mv head making toward the cross, one, seemingly in tho lead, who lit on the cross and commenced tapping for dear life. Most of the

others lit on the tree, but finally all got to work ou the cross. I sat down and watched

the proceedings. The original woodpecker

seemed to be running tho business as ho would fly back and forward from tree to

cross until he had them all at work picking away. They did not seem to be very well

satishcd, but he would, as it looked to me. encourage them by seemingly getting something for his work bv his actions. I so

indeed, any way. At last ho flew back on the tree by himself, watch

ing thcro, and. 1 thought 1 could see a

gleam of fun in his eyes. He then, as they

were all busily engaged, cave ono of

his woodpeckenan screeches, and left for the woods in high glee. The rest looked ateach other, and I came to the conclusion

lhat they were settling in their minds, if lhey had any, that thev were sold, and

looked mad; and they all started hot-foot for the timber. It was then about time for

dinner, and I started for home, somewhat

amused at the atlair.

'After dinner I went back to finish my

work, and had to pass the cross on my way to the job I was doing, and noticed a good many feathers lying around in the lot, all from tho yellow-hammer bird. I couldn't account for them, and went up to the cross to examine more closely, when I discovered the dead woodpecker lying on the rock at tho foot of the cross, every feather picked as clean as possible, and his head all picked to pieces. I came to the conclusion that it was tho joker who had naid so dear for his

fun."

following edict to the praetorian prefect of

"Wo command that no ono mar presume

work begun and abandoned by another.

without apprehension of loss, and to denounce all acts of this "kind without fear and without cost. And if any one shall presume to practice a monoply, let his propertjr bo forfeited and himself condemned to perpetual exile. And in regard to the principals of other professions, if they shall venture in the future to lira

price upon their merchandise, and to bind themselves by agreements not to sell at a lower price, let them bo condemned to nay forty pounds of gold. Your court, shall be condemned to pay fifty pounds of gold if it shall happen through avarice, negligence, or any other misconduct, the provisions of

Edison's Long-DIstance Telephone an In

strument Capable of Abut,

The Epoch.

Mr. Edison has been civintr a concert in

New York for the benefit of an audience in

Philadelphia, tho painful operation beiurf

performed by means of his new long-distance telephone. A sewer for sound is a need that has been felt for many 3'ears, and if Mr. Edison has really invented a mai 1 . ill . 10 1 1

liberally to the enterprise, Tho benefits of a perfect sound absorber and transmitter with an attachment for Hushing tho wires thoroughly, cannot bo put down on

paper. All infants with abnormal lungs ana all infants 6eein to have abnoniol

female lecturers on tho wrongs of their sex

would better take warning from the announcement of a long-distance telephone.

tho long-distance telephone is. used to augment our misfortunes; if, instead of beins able to desnosit Tar

out at sea the rattle of elevated trains and heavy drays, we are obliged to listen by

caoie 10 ten times as mucn uerman opera as wo suffer now. and to hear eiirhtr

million Russians conversing in consonants on the subiect of Nihilism; if the jabber of Asiatic and African savages is to assail our

ears every morning and the gabble of all China to wound our sensibilities everv

evening, then it is time for Mr. Edison to gird up his lions and cscapo by a long-distance railroad. This is a serious matter. If an arrangement can be made bv which Philadelphia will be obliged to near our concerts, without a reciprocity of misery, then, doubtless. New York will consent to remain one terminus of the new sound dis

tributor. But if New York must listen to Philadelphia's noises, that is a different

Setting Things Right.

Pittsburg Dispatch.

With regard to the silly term applied br

some Democratic organs to the present administration, Tho reign of Harrison II," the Boston Globe says: We have had two

nays of Harrison's rain." lhe Globe should do justice and recognize that as the rain set in thirty-six hours before the inauguration, it is more reasonable to set down as an attempt of Cleveland's weather bureau to throw cold water on the nsw President.

There is no uncertain ring about Presi

way that can b easily understoodoyallmen. Without going into the details of tho poli

uhat he says of the taritr question is simply an echo of his speeches during tho presidential campaign. Those speeches wero the honest expression of his views on the American policy of protection. When he made them he had nothing to con

ceal, and now that he has been raised bv

the suffrages of his fellow-citizens to tho highest position that a citizen of theRepub-

The Plan Didn't Work.

Nebraska State Journal.

The Indiana Legislature was so pleased

with itself toward the close of the session

that the members thereof put up a littlo

plan by which thev would have to be called

together again and could sit and draw pay for their invaluable services a few months

more. The plan was to let the appropria

tion hills drag along and so get to the hour on which they wero obliged by tho Consti

tution to disperse, without having mado provision for running tho State

lor tho next year or two. lhis coming to tho ears of Governor Hovey. ho caused it to be emphatically announced

to these patriots that, appropriations or no appropriations, he would never call an ex

tra session of that body. They knew that

when the Governor put his foot down it

was down to stay, and so they are shoving

the appropriation bills through. Civilization owes a debt, of gratitude to the gallant old soldier that occupies tho guberna

torial seat in Indiana in spito of the bal-

lot-box stufiers. for his services in squelch

ing another lease of life to the bedlam

that calls itself the Indiana Legislature.

Rail way TraTel In France. Paris Letter to Philadelphia Tclesrrauh.

A very amusing incident took place at the rail wav station at Havre which beauti

fully illustrates the value of tho French regulation of locking up travelers in tho

waiting-rooms until tho moment of their

departure. A train was to start at a certain

hour for Montevilliers, a small town about

half an hours journey from Havre. Away went the train and in duo course of time it

reached its destination. The guard hastened to open the doors of the carriages and was astonished to find them all emotv.
