Wednesday morning the case of
City of St. Paul vs. Hattie Milton
Ella Akers, for violation of City
the
and
ordin
nnce 97, was tried in the municipal court
lawyer McGhee appeared for the de
pendents and the City Attorney for the
the prosecution. After hearing the
evidence and the arguments of counsel
the court found the defendants guilty
and assessed a fine of $10. In this con
nection attention is called to the fact
that this was the third time defendants
were brought in for this offence, and in
all cases of third violation the fine has
heretofore been $100 and imprisonment
Hence it was by reason of attorney
McGhee's manner of conducting the
case in trying, citing authorities and
argument that the defendant got off so
lightly especially when $150 had been
deposited as security. Truly the Col
ored man can do much in hi own be
half.

St. Paul Churches and Matters
Pertain ng- to the Spiritual
Progress of Their
Pastors and People.
We must love in order to understand
love. One act of charity will teach us
more of the love of God, than a thou
sand sermons. This is the way to learn
God's love, and become Chnst-hke.
We had a foretaste of heaven's joy, its
love and harmony in our covenant
meeting San Jay morning, it was a day
of goood things, the attendance was large
and God's spirit was there in our midst.
The Sunday school was largely atttended
the classes were nicely arranged, the
new Bibles were on hand and used for
the first time. Our superintendant gave
each class ten cents some time ago, as
capital to invest for the benefit of the
school. Last Sunday these talents were
called in. The amount gotten by the
different classes was about $20 there was
no class but what did something. This is
simply a beginning, other efforts are on
foot now to help. Sunday evenin 4 found
the church well filled at an early hour.
The pastor preached fiom Luke 15-4 5,6
verses, subject, the "Good Shepherd,"
the choir caught the spirit of the serman
and sang heartily. Our leader Mrs. B.
H. Wilson sang very sweetly, that rich
hymn, "Ninety and Nine," that hymn
has led hundreds to the haven of rest.
Tbe congregation fully appreciates the
efforts that are put forth by all in the
church. The right-hand of fellowship was
given to sister Sarah Goodnight and Bro.
Albert Jenkins, two others applied for
admission, all are referred to tne dea
cons. It is high time to raise our stand
ard. The pastor is on tbe look out for
the shaby sheep, there is to be a gen
eral house cleaning soon. The benefit
that was tendered the pastor by Mr.
W. Smith, was quite a success, when we
consider how many attractions theie
for our people, much credit is due
Mr.given
Smith and those that assisted him. Miss
Cora Jackson leaves this week to attend
schrol in the beautiful city of Washing
ton. We regret very much the loss of

wherever she goes, we wish hei Godand
speed. The St. Paul Colored Choial

The Tribune published an article in
its last Sunday issu reflecting very dis
creditable on the Eagle Club. In sub
stance it said that a "darky fracas'' oc
curred the morning previous the above
named club, resulting in several shets,
and arose over a gambling game which
Lev. Green had lost considerable money
at, and took that course to get even.
The facts are that the shooting affair
took pla. down on 3d avenue South
near Washington between Mr. Benja
min Summers and Lev. Green, and was
not near the Eagle Club. The manage
ment of the club feels justly indignant
as they have been trying to make their
establishment one of the most popular
in the Northwest, free from vice and
"darky fiacases."

appreciates the great honor done him
by the Washingtonians.
The people of St Louis in common
with those of other localities, are anxieus
to know what course Hon. John M.Clinton,
Langston will pursue in the Virginia
campaign. Mr. Langston is a stalwart
Republican, but can he support Mahone
for Governor? And it is quite sure that
the little General cannot be elected
without the brainy Langston's help. Of
course we shall soon see what we will
see but meantime, this community is
all curiosity to know what to expect.

An ingenious scheme for obtaining
firewood was worked for a time by a
Colored resident of Starke, Fla. He put
a pair of ^cious curs in his yard and al
lowed them to run out and attack pedes
trians. The latter, for defense, would
never pass tbe place unless they were
provided with an armful of pine knots
to chunk the dogs with. At night the
man gathered up the dogs' earnings for
the day, and found fuel not only enough
for the hominy department, but a sur
plus to lay up for winter. But now his
curs are both poisoned, and their owner
sits on a stump beneath a wide-spread
ing Jerusalem oak lamenting his loss.

Humane Mr. Keenan.
The Humane Society succeeded in
having J. A. Dent fined $ 25 last week
and recommended the shooting of his
horses to relieve them of suffering.
Bro. Keenan can add more scalps to bis
belt by visiting the 22d street station of
tbe I. C. R. R. and note some of the
that come there pulling express
wagons. Oh! these are horses of white
men and they are all right. Humanity
makes no distinction on account of color
and we trust Bro. Keenan will not.*
