Why Trustee Baum Favors the Bill Now Pending in Congress. “Yes, I have read the bill through carefully,” said ex-President Baum, of the school board, when asked by a STAR reporter if he had looked over the bill pending in Congress to create a school-board of twenty-four members, “It has my endorsement, and I hope it will become a law. The first section of the bill provides for three trustees from each division, who shall be ‘actual residents of the divisions for which they are appointed. The provision that trustees Shall be residents of the divisions they repre- Sent in the board will be of benefit to the col- ored schools. At present all three of the trus- tees in charge of colored schools live in the west end. I am of the opinion that a solution of the difficulties now attending the manage- ment of the publie_sehools would be found in enlarging the number of trustees, and by that means doing away with the importance of an‘ one man, and destroying the feeling of proprl: ciorship ‘which is the the one-man power. The three trustees meet- ing as a sub-board in each division could trai t the business much better than itis i forone man to doit. ‘Section 2.f the bill pre- scribes the powers and duties of the board. only change which I see in the appointing power different from that now exercised by the pre it board is that the bill gives the appoint- ment of the superintendent to the board of trustees. Now, I think, if we are to havea school board, that board ought to have the ap- pointment of the superintendent, for this rea- son: one of the causes of trouble In all the old ‘ds has been the superintendent’s power. has been charged ig some of the trustees that if the board did not legislate to suit the views of the superintendent that officer would pull wires until he got things to suit himself, or he would have the official scaly of trustees op} ing his views and methods, The superiatendent by the existing law, which provides for his appointment by the same power that appoints the trustees, is placed in a position of inde pendence, in his relations with the board, which Ee ought not to occupy. With the power to pint the superintendents vested in the pol board, think this cause of trouble would be removed. The remainder of the bill, defining the duties of the board in regard to the selection of school sites, repairs, pians of new school buildings, and the adjustment of salaries of all employes of the public schools, is as it should be. It does not give the school board the right to expend one cent for any purpose, but it does give the citizens of the Districtof Columbia, through their representatives, the trustees, the right to say where the buildings shall’ be located, and the right to examine and approve all plans for new buildings, and see that they based upon the latest ‘and most approved ideas for preserving the health and promoting the comfort of the cnildren.” ee SOME OF THE LODGERS. Folks Who Have Enjoyed the Hospital- ity of the Night Lodging House. A colored boy named Harry Slaughter, 13 years old, went to the Night Lodging-house for lodgings. He walked all the way from Brandy Station, Va., in search of his mother, who ab- sented herself three years ago from her three boys, leaving them in charge of an uncle. Her, name is Lucy Slaughter. Jerusha Venie Garrison, a ten-year-old colored girl, ran away trom her mother in the western part of the city, and, getting lost, was directed to the lodging-house, where she was tound after three days by her mother. She showed much reluctance to return with her mother. Some time ago a young man, 22 years of age, walked all the way from Pitisburg in search of employment. He stopped two nights at the lodging-house. In ten days he went there again untii be could get a remittance from his pa- rents, who were living in Delaware. Mr, Fitch gave him a ticket of admission during the last Snow storm. He afterwards received the re- mittance and got a cheap boarding-house. In the meantime he obtained employment for himself in a tea store on 7th street, where he is now working as chief clerk at a good salary. Mrs. J. T. Hettinger, 46 years old, a soldier’s widow, totally biind, and her daughter Katle, 19 years old, came t6 this city and could find no one to take her into a boarding-house or hotel. Her purpose in coming here was toob- tain an increase of pension, She found ber way to the lodging-house, where she was kept a few days until she had a tair prospect of getting her papers adjusted. This woman had $43 with her, which she was saving up to pay her way home to New York. seine The ¥. M. C. Association. INTERESTING ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES LAST EVENING. A large audience attended the thirty-third anniversary of the Young Men’s Christian asso- ciation last evening at the New York Avenue Prebyterian church. The exercises were begun with prayer by Bishop E. G. Andrews, of the Methodist chureh, The president of the asso- ciation, Mr. Charles Lyman, followed with an address in whieh he spoke of the growing in- fluence and importance of the work in this Dis- trict and the necessity that existed for its en- largement and extension.

Suit; “who burned the bridge. Now let me tell the story of the bridge. When the British entered the city a portion of the British army, under Gen. Ross, came over that bridge. After the city was sacked and the Capitol was burned Gen. Ross made a speech, in Which he said he would eat his dinner in Baltimore the next da! oreat it in sheol. Two young men, Wells an‘ McUomas, heard this remark, and, taking their horses, rode down through Maryland to North Point, and there waited. When the British army came along they fired from behind a tree and killed Ross. The whole British army then fired on them, and they were riddled through gad through, like the holes in a sieve.” “A badly managed affair,” remarked one of the gentlemen present. “But to go back to the bridge,” said Col. Sui# “when the British left the city, crossing the bridge the second time, they burned it. I Know there's a story that an American officer was sta- Uoned there with instructions to fire the bridge when he saw the British coming, and that he did burn it.” “Ought We not to apply to the British govern- ment to rebuild the bridge?” asked an au- or, “Well, the trouble is,” said Col. Suit, “that we do not admit now that the British were ever here. That is something we are not supposed to Know anything about.” The gentlemen who advocate the restoration of the bridge urge that it will not only benefit property’ in the eastern section of the city, but of great value and convenience both to resi- ad ‘Of the city and adjacent portions of Mary- nd. ‘The extension of Pennsylvania avenue, across the bridge, connecting with the river road there, will, it is claimed. provide a most invit- ing. suburban drive.

Gougar, of Indiana, who is 8 Practical campaign speaker, was frst intro- juced by Miss Anthony, who said that she would speak while the ‘ladies were moving about in the audience to secure subscriptions, This money, Miss Anthony sald, was needed to carry on the work of the association during the coming year, and it was the intention to go into every state ih the Union during the year. The subject of Miss Gougar’s address was “eras in American polities” which was soon disp, sed of by passing allusions to the revoltot the Pilgrim Fathers, the principles of the war for independ- ence, and the war for the freedom of the slaves. ‘The remainder of the address, which was de- livered in a bright and-interesting style, was devoted to the question, why shouldu't women yote? ‘The speaker was followed by Mrs, Mary W. Sewall, who spoke of “The absurdity of the American’ woman’s disfranchisement.” Mra, Sewall is always an interesting as well as a Jogical speaicer, and her address was an appeal Jato the thoughtful and intelligent. Mrs. H. H. ‘Mills sang a solo, and the audience rose to thelr feet to rest while they listened. Mrs. Stanton was to have made the closing ‘address, but in her absence a letter was read, and then Miss Anthony summed up in one of her speeches, which served to clinch what had been said ani done during the sessions of the convention.

As he passed my store he turned his head a little so as to look towards the window.” “How did he look?” asked THE Star reporter, ‘As well as ever. He hud a chin beard and seemed to appear just as he always has ap- peared. I called Mr. Swayze, one of my clerk8, and he'ran to the door and recognized him, too, after getting a good look at him. Havilan walked towards G street, and there we lostsight of bim.” “Are you sure you knew Haviland?” asked the reporter, “Yes,” said Mr. Parker, “I have seen him many times here at the market. 1 knew him, too, When he was connected with Mr. Seth Terry in the brokerage business in this city.

Mr. Terry, who wasseen by a STAR reporter after the talk with Mr, Parker, said that the Haviland who bad had business relations with him was J.
