The recent removal of Wayland
Bominary from Washington to Rich
mond not only reduces the number of
our educational institutions in this
city but alto Hikes from among us
several educators whose personal in
fluence among us was a distinct uplift
in the intellectual Eocial and religious
life of our community And among
these Prof and Mrs J B Simpson oc
cupy a conspicuous place Prof
Simpson who graduated from Colby
University in Maine came to Wash
ington several years ago and engaged
in teaching at Wayland Seminary The
fidelity ability and earnestness with
which he discharged the duties of his
position easily won recognition and
promotion for him in the school and
widened the sphere of his usefulness in
the community He was a member of
the Berean Baptist church and was
ordained to the ministry at this church
shortly before leaving this city to take
np his work at Richmond A few years
ago he married Miss Garrett a teaoher
in the city schools of Springfield
Mass who by her amiable disposition
and lofty character readily won a last
ing place in the respect and esteem of
her accmaintances Like her husband
Mrs Simpson also identified herself
with the Berean Baptist church and
engaged earnestly in the Christian
activities of that church They were
both prominent workers In many non
denominational charities here and by
their geniality manner added much to
the social life of our community We
bespeak for them a cordial welcome in
our sister city beyond the Potomac

SEN ALLAINS CHANCE
Resolution Offered by the Gener
ous Mr Mann bnould by all
Means Pass the House Illinois
Delegation Will Do Its Duty
Help an Old War Horse
At the opening session of Congress
Representative James R Mann the
brilliant and aggressive member from
the first Illinois district presented the
following resolution
Whereas the printing law of Janu
ary 12 1895 requires that all Senate and
HouEe bills joint and concurrent reso
lutions ehall be put in book form lor
the use of Congress and requires that
four books or volumes two for the
ry pip
EX SENATOR T T ALLAIN
Senate and two for the House go to
the document room and library of the
House and Senate Therefore
Be it resolved That the Door
keeper of House be aad is hereby
authorized and directed to appoint a
suitable person to prepare for binding
the Senate and Hcuse bills jjint and
concurrent resolutions of the Forty
fifth FortysixtbForty seventh Forty
eighth Forty ninth Fiftieth Fifty
first Fifty second Fifty third -Fifty-fourth
Fifty fifth and Fifty sixth
Congresses of the Senate and House
unbound oftneFortyfithFortysIxth
Forty seventh Forty etghthand Forty
ninth Congresses that he be paid at
the rate or two thousand dollars per
annum during the Fifty sixth Con
gress out of the contingent fund of the
House
The boobs required by the preceding
law referred to are necessary to facili
tate the work of Congressmen and for
consultation by citizens but there is a
deeper reason for our anxiety that
the resolution as here given become a
law because a worthy member of our
race will in all probability be designat
ed to performed the service authorized
under it Ex Senator T T Allain is a
candidate for the assignment and is
making a red hot canvass Its
dollars to doughnuts that he wins out
too for he is a fighter from way back
and was never known to lose a battle
in which he was ascorded a fair show
He deserves the place He is an ardent
party worker and has made countless
sacrifices to further the Euccess ot re
publicanism both in his native state of
Louisana and adopted state Illinois
He is ready at all times to pnll off his
coat and rush to the rescue of the ad
ministration when it is assailed and no
man did more hard conscientious work
to bring victory to Mr McKinleys
policy than this man of brass tacks
and business principle Theophile T
Allain He i3 physically mentally and
morally fitted for the assignment he
seeks and we sincely hope his friends
will not rest until bis interests are
properly caredior
Mr Mann did well to introduce the
resolution and the eclored people will
not forget his kindly consideration
He is a man of parts destined by nat
ural gifts ana scholarship to lead and
if he will just exert himself with the
energy characteristic of all he does and
says and pushes things as be so well
knows how to ipusb Allain will land
hands down
The Colored American always re
membere Illinois with enthusiasm and
gratitudsfor it was the Illinois delega
tion in Congress that first went to Mr
McKinley in the interest ol the Baker
family shortly after the Lake City
tragedy Illinois can invariably be de
pended upon to go to the front for our
people and we shall be greatly disap
pointed it her time honored record is
not sustained in the present instance
We hope to see Messrs Mann Can
non Smith Hitt Lorimer Hopkins
Rodenberg Marsh Grafl Boutell
Foss Warner Prince and Reeves do
all within their power to insure the
passage ot the resolution and conse
quentlyMr Allains success We hepe
to see this matter reach a speedy set
tlement A victory for the Mr Allain
is a race victory for the Ex Senator

thing he says he would like to have
