The attraction which will be presented to the (irand audiences ilnriitK the week of .May tith differs entirely from the Hetienil run of these musical plays. Not only on account of Its cast beins of a dark had", but also for the reason that every style of trayety and frivolity, wums and dances for which the colored race Is known, will be Introduced Is sufficient guarantee, that "Kufus ltastus" Is a well diirestable offering. "Mowm Is a whole show by himself." Htiyn the Philadelphia item.

The Field re marks: "The work will lie done un der the supervision of Mr. nrdon, the expert, who has been In charge of the sanitation ot the House or Commons." It Is indeed ad to see so man of our colored girls out of employment and wandering nroundfrom pUoe to place. Many of them are too proud to work Tor their own people and many of them ore too lazy to work for the white people. Of course are some honorable exceptions. TTie colored set v:' nt s should remember that they can be ladies and gentle men in l lie kitchen and dining room as well as they can in 1 lie parlor. There are lots of young men and wo men writ king out as servants and can command respect If they respect themselves. Hut the condition of many of the colored servants today Is heart-rendcl ing. Many of them are not wanted because they are not reliable and unclean in appearance. The large hotels are dispensing with the colored waiters, bell boys and colored cooks. Ilarber shops that have heretofore been couducjtcil 1'T colored men are fast being dWSrasSMI bv white barbers. The Italians haveT: pushed the colored bootblack aside and established modern and up-to-date pallors. The Chinaman and up-to-date laundries have taken the place of the colored washerwoman, and the colored nurs( s no longer lire seen upon the public streets. What will la the future of the colored servant Is the question? The colored pulpit lias thrown aside religion and joined the army of money grafters. Instead of religion in the colored church being preached, begging for money to carry into effect speculation schemes from which many of them receive a per centage. What will be the future of the colored seivaut Is the question that ought to lie considered by the pulpit. The time Is ripe for the col ored people in this city to be look ing about them. The colored servant is passing out of existence fast. The l!ee. If' LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. The Hoard of ltegenls, represented by its president, lion. 1). C. Met lung of .Jefferson City, Hon. K. C.

The following editorial from the Jefferson City Kepublican Review speaks for itself: Lincoln Institute. A party of Jefferson City men went over to Lincoln Institute yesterday to inspect the work of that school and came away with a high opinion of its management and teachers. They were deeply impressed with the standards of work in all tin1 departments, but they were particu larly impressed with the work which isc being done In the industrial de partment. In t hat department tiny found young men gleaning practical information in blacksmil hlng, carpen try in nil Its branches, Including wood moulding and other useful trades, and the girls acquiring the rudiments, nyo more, a practical and working knowl edge of domestic science in all its departments. They were shown exhibits of the sewing, laundering, fancy needle work, etc., done by the girls, and they were not only shown, but ate a wholesome dinner prepared by the students and served in the spacious dinlng-mom of the new girls' dor- , ; . fY' v CVV '' . ... .v;-y.
