A PROPOSED SALE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY WHICH SHOULD NOT BE CONSUMMATED. To the Editor of Tux KVENINGSTaR. . I see from your news columns that a bill has been introduced in Congress authorizing the sale of the 7th street front of the high school grounds for the purpose of raising money to build school houses, No doubt more school houses are needed, but they can hardly be af- forded at the expense of destroying the play- grounds of the hi grounds are not Part of them at least wi ot will h and Henry schools.

A CALL UPON CITIZENS TO RISE AND EXTER- MINATE THE CATERPILLERS. To the Editor of THz EVENINO Stag: ‘The web worms which are now disfiguring the trees of the city began their lives as colonies each upon a single leaf, one side of which they covered with a web, under which they fed upon the green substance of the leaf.

Board- The Appointment of Teachers Post- poned om Account of the Delay in the Appropriations, Atthe meeting of the school board last night & certificate to teach the fourth grade was granted Miss Filen E. Halltday, of the fourth division, who has taught the requisite number of years in the third grade. Upon motion of Mr, Fish, the committee on ways and means, Mr. Brooks chairman, was directed to confer with the superintendents with relation to ad- Justing.and equalizing salaries under the new appropriation when made. Upon Mr. Curtis’ suggestion the communication from the super vising principal of the sixth division, proposing that the pay of eighth grade teachers in the county be placed on a par with teachers of the same grade in the city schools, was referred to the committee on ways and means. Mr. Brooks remarked that it appeared to him that to in- crease the pay of eighth grade teachers in the county would haverthe effect of reducing the pay of others there, for considering the number of Papils taught thé average pay was greater in the county than in other divisions. ‘The resignation of Emma J. Young, teacher of the third division, was accepted. Certificates of the next higher class to the ‘ones now held by them were granted under the rule regarding length of service to Amanda R. Bowen, Julia C. Grant and Ida G. Nutter, teach- ers in the colored schools. There was considerable discussion as to the discretion the board could exercise in appointing Normal school graduates as teachers, The “preierence” to be given to the" graduates, it was geverally con- ceded, was a very indefinite thing. Mr. Dar- ington proposed a resolution providing that @ppointments should be made from those graduates as vacancies occurred in the first three grades, The subject was finaily referred to the commiitee on teachers, NEXT YEAR'S LIST OF TEACHERS. Mr. Fish reported the nominations of teachers for the coming year for the fourth division, remarking that he desired it to be considered as final, subject only to death, absence from the city, marriages, or changes made necessary by the ‘appropriations. He desired the teachers of his division to go away easy in mind and to return refreshed. Mr. Curtis of the fifth divisio: Mr, Brooks, of the seventh division, and Dr. Witmer, of the sixth, had lists of nominations ready. There was somie discussion as to whether these lists might not need considerable revision alter the appropriations were made, and be mis- leading if published now. Mr. Curtis suggested that what the teachers desired most to know was whetber any of the oid ones were dropped. Mr. Darlington, of the first division, reported ‘Unat no teachers had been dropped in the first division, In tue fourth division Mr. Fish said there were two vacancies to fill, Mr. Curtis said that there were no changes jn the fifth division except in the case of Miss Wilson, ‘rausierred at her own request to the first divi- sion, He expected to have places for two of the Normal school graduates. Dr. Witmer said that there would be five vacancies in the sixth division, and he would like to fill them with Normal school graduates, if he can get them. Mr. Brooks said that there would be no one dropped in tue seventh division. Two new teachers would be asked ior the colored High school. Prof. Gregory reported that there would. be no changes in the eight division, except in the cases of two teachers without certificates, This division would probably have tive new schools and seven new teachers, Mr. Brooks suld the seventh and eighth divisions would p-obably take fourteen of the twenty Miner school graduates, and the colored schools in the county one or two, leaving ouly tour or five without appointments. It was decided that the reports so far as made by trustees of nominations of teachers be re- ferred to the Committee on teachers, and not made public at present. Mr, sh, reterring to the embarrassment that ight iollow in case Une appropriations did not provide all the money needed to pay teache: under the present schedule, proposed a resolu- tion, which was referred to the committee on ways and means, providing that ali teachers hereatter appoiuied be appointed on beginners’ pay, regaruiess of grade, uniess otherwise or- dered by a two-thirds vote of the board. It was expecied Liat the commitiee on text books wouid report last evening, and its report was awaited witn much interest, as it had to propose the means of carrying into cffect the hew law requiring that a study of the effects of alcohol and narcotics on the human sysvem be included in the course of study. Mr. Ciark stated tbat the committee had been unedle yet Lo prepare a report, aud tue coMumil- lee was given until the uext mecting night to make its report, a= Wrangling Reformers i ichmond. The members of the Richmond, Va., city councils elected last month on the reform ticket met in caucus last night for the pupose of continuing the seletion of officers to fill posi- tions in the city government now held by the regular democrats, After wrangling two hours over the question of participation in the caucus of two republican aldermen from Jackson ward elected two years ago, and who beid over for two years longer, a Loit occurred which left the caucus with only twenty-two members, being Ubree less than a majority of the whole council. The caucus went on to make nomina- tions, but if the bolters do not join with them wher the time comes for the election of city officers the caucus nominations will be of no avail. ——_—_+e+_____ Bishop Cartis. ‘From the Baltimore Sun. Rev. Alfred A. Curtis, secretary of the Balti- more cathedral, who has been appointed bishop of Wilmington, Del., to succeed the Right Rey. Thomas A. Becker, who was trans- ferred to the diocese of Savannah, was born in Somerset county, Md.,and is about 53 years old, He was ordained a Protestant Episcopal clergyman in 1856, and stayed on the eastern shore until 1859, when he came to Baltimore as assistant at St. Luke’s church, remaining there two years. He returned to ‘the eastern shore and was rector for several years of the church at Chestertown, after which he came back to Baltimore and was at Mount Calvary church for nine years. In 1871 he left the Pro- testant Episcopal church and went to Engiand and was received into the Roman Catholic church by the present Cardinal Newman. Upon his return to the Unit: | States he was assigned to the cathedral, and has been there ever since, He is a good looking, able and an interesting preacher.

He left his home on Friday last, secreted himself in the bottom of acoul car’on the Lehigh and sus- qnehanna railroad and remai:ied there uaob- served until the train had passed White Haven, He lett it there and remained in that Vicinity until Saturday afternoon, when he leaped on a train coming east. About three niles trom White Haven he fell from the train and had the arm torn trom his body by the wheels. After the train had the plucky boy picked up the mangled arm and walked to White Haven, where the injury was dressed. A citizen took of the boy und sent him to bis home here this morning. Notwithstand- Ing the terrible accident, the great loss of blood and the long walk, Seigenthal was in good spirits, and apparently in good condition when he arrived at the doctor's office, but later he died from exhaustion. ‘will collect.

To the Editor of Tux EvExixe Stax: I was guitestartled and shocked this morning by the intelligence that asuake more than three feet long had been found on the railroad track immediately in trontot my residence on New York avenue, only a few feet from 14th Street, Upon examination I found that the reptile had evidently been crushed under the wheels of the cars. ‘The question naturally pre- sented was how did this suuke get there and whence came it, whether it had come up through the sewer, brought there by the cars from @ distance, or escaped from the Smiths- onian instizution, were among the many sur- mises and speculations suggested, In view ot the fact that snakes have been frequently found in the grounds of the Smithsonian institute and the existence of a subterranean den under that building used for the accommodation and propagation “of these reptiles, I consider the Suggestion that the one in question had escaped from that quarter, the true solution of the mystery, Accepting thisasa fact I desire to call your attention and through you that of the city authorities to the: presence in the heart of the city of thissnake breeding establishment and enter ‘a protest against Its'continuance. I am well aware that the excuse for maintaining this dangerous nuisance is “scientific pur] 7 but as this apartment of snakes includes, I am. told, some that are venomous, what scien utic advantage in the study’ of serpen. tology can compensate for the loss of single human life by the bite of one of this class which may have escaped from its con- finement. Hundreds of children are playing daily in ‘the grounds of the Smithsonian un- consciously exposed to such # palpable danger. Ican see no good end to be achieved by the study of this particular branch of natural bis- wry. The varieties and species of different genera, habits aud customs of such reptiles Possess no attractions for me. Apart trom the element of danger Lo life to be Considered there is natural antagonism between man and the serpent emplanted by God himself in the bosoin of our progenitors in the Garden of Eden, which antagonism, in my case, has been transmitted with progressive intensity trom that remote epoch to the present time. I fully Tevognize und accept the decree of the Almighty When He suid to the serpent “hou art cursed above all cattle und above every beast of the field * * * and I will put enmity between Uhee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed.” I also sympathize with Moses when in obedience to the command of the Lord he cast bis rod upon the ground “and it becaine serpent and Moses fled from belore it.” Every where through the scriptures dowe tind that God selected serpents as instruments of his ven- geance, “And the Lord sent flery serpents umong the people and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.” “Pronouncing curses upon his rebellious peopic, he says: “They shall be burnt with hunger and devoured with burning heat, and I will also seud the teeth of beast upon them with the poison of ser- pents of the dust.” Jeremiah declaring the punishments of the Lord—“For behoid 1 will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be churmed, aud they stall bite you, saith the Lord. And though they hide thew: selves in the top of Carmel, and, though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the se thence will leven send the serpent and be shal bite them.” Our Saviour, 1 the plentltude of his indignation against tue hypocrites and sin- ners before him, exciaims, “Ye serpents, ye gen- eration of vipers.” These’ quotations trom the Bible sufficiently show that the serpent was re- garded ‘and intended by ‘God to be ty pical of | Sultan and sin, and abhorent to the civilized | and christian man. ‘The pretended love for science furnishes no rational excuse for violat- tug these divine decrees, Suppose some would- be scientific crank were lo stock the Babcock lake with a dozen full grown crocodiles, there would doubUess be a lively manifestation of maternal apprehension and indignation against the chances of having their unwary progeny devoured by these anthroponiverous creatures. Yet we quietly permit a reported source of & somewhat similar and insiduous danger to ex- ist in our midst. It 1s to be hoped that this re- ceptacie ot serpents may be speedily abolisned and its venomous occupants exterminated. Let the enthusiastic uaturalist, whose tastes run in | this serper ntine direction, whether the femaie | Elsie Venuas, or the male philoreptilians, be bunished to the Dry Tortugas, where they may prosecute their uauoly researches without del- riment to anyone but themselves, a The Puritan Again # Winner. AVERY PRETTY RACE OFF MARBLEHEAD YES- TERDAY—WHAT THE RACE SHOWS. The Puritan was again victorious in the yacht race off Marblehead yesterday. The Pris- Cilla started off ahead and retained her lead for some time, as indicated in THE Star's dis- patches yesterday. The first turn was made by the Priscilla at 12:35:20, by the Puritan at 12:39:20 and the Mayflower at 12:39:20. The sheets were now trimmed aft ands beautiful race ensued across the second leg. The May- flower slowly but steadily weathered and out- tooted the Puritan, forcing her to fall off and crossing her bow near the second turn, which was made as follows: Priscilla, 1:03:20; May- flower, 1:07:23; Puritan, 1:07:45.

The great attraction was the race for a stake of $3,000 between 5. 5, Brown's bay colt Troubadour and the Dwyer Brothety’ brown mare Miss Woodford.
