The resignation of Harry James, operator in the telephone room at the police headquarters, has been sent to the Commissioners, James is the son of Policeman James, who does night duty at headquarters. According to reports the young man has gone to Denver to grow up with the country. This is not his first experi- ence in traveling away from home. During the early part of this winter Harry went to Baltimore on the police boat “Joe Blackburn,” and stopped at a boarding-house not far from the river front. He went out with the “boys,” and, according to his notions, he had a “good time.” While in a saloon near the river front one nigkt he remembered baving some words with some men who attempted to rob him, but explanations were made and an apology was readily accepted. The drinks were ‘set up” and the young man remembered nothing more until the following morning, when he heard the harsh voice of an oyster pirate say: “GET UP AND GET BREAKFAST.” When the young man opened his eyes it was shortly after daybreak, and much to his sur- prise he found himself on an oyster boat sail- ing for the Chesapeake bay. How he got on the boat he did not kno ut it only took him a few momenta to discover that he had been kidnaped and that he hada hard time ahead. The captain. whose name he never heard, gave him to understand that he was to act as cook on the trip, in addition to the other regular work of dredging and assorting the bi- valves. His position was not an eviable one. Early in the morning and late at night did he work and the work was the hardest that could be imagined. Shortly after sundown the boat would go to the oyster beds and han} until nearly daybreak. Then the captain would make for some secluded spot where there were no oys~ ters and compel the men during the day to pick the small oysters from the large ones. je work was hard and showed plainly on the hands. Often when euiling the oysters the young man’s hands would bleed, but that did not excuse him from work, nor did he have any cold eream to socthe the pain, FOR NINE LONG DAYS did he do this work and cook for the crew, with an average of about four or five hours for sleeping. In the kitchen the victim proved a useful hand. The meat kept for the crew was kept on the floor under the kitchen table. Ac- cording to the “cook's” statement the meat did { not have to be picked up. but it would walk out | and jump in the pan. The meat was both fat and strong. One would suppose that where oysters are so plentiful the neds ot: the bost would fairly live on them, but this is not so, “We haul oysters to sell,” said the captain, “and not to eat.” The dredgers were closely watched. and no one except the captain and mate were per- mitted to eat oysters. None of them ever ag to the kitchen pt for those officers of the boat, and then s watched to see that he ate none of them. One night when everybody on the boat was asleep James and another victim visited the deck and measured the water with a rope, as they guessed at the distance to the shore, with an idea of SWIMMING ASHORE AND ESCAPING, but the distance was too great and the water was nearly 18 feet deep at the point where the boat was anchored. Before returning to their bunks they were discovered by the captain, who threatened and attempted to assault them. That time they escaped vio- lence and returned to their cots. Finally the boat sprung a leak andthe men were put at work tokeep it from sinking. They worked faithfully, because it was a matter of life and death. They’succeeded very well for awhile, but afterward the hole grew larger, and, fear- ing all hands would be lost, the captain gave orders to sail for shore. Some distance below Baltimore the young Washingtonian was thrown out in the shallow water and given a chance to walk ashore. Before this, however, he had beened robbed of almost everything he owned, including a portion of his clothing. He man- aged to get on shore once more and WAS AGAIN A FREE MAN, Over hills and through hollows he made his way to Baltimore, where he again met some friends. He was given a good dinner, the first square meal for more than a week, and was then given aticket for this city. He came here, and received a royal welcome upon his return home, His distressed parents were relieved of aheavyy burden. He has since paid strict at- tention to his business untila few days ago. Last Wednesday evening he calledon his father and made known his intention of going to Denver. His father talked with him and begged him to remain at home. Several friends also tried to dissuade him from going west, but with no effect. He had made up his mind to leave, and on that night he took the train for the gold and silver mines of Oglorado, a Died of His Injuries. BUN OVER BY A LOCOMOTIVE AND FRIGETFULLY MANGLED, Wm. Bell, a colored resident of Fighting alley, got in the way of engine No, 32, at the Baltimore and Potomae freight gard, or. New Jersey avenue, Saturday night, and received such severe injuries that he died at Providence actly how the accident occurred is not known, ‘The engine, which was in charge of Engineer Henry Hurd, was backing through the freight yard when the accident occurred. Bell’s head was crushed, an arm was cut off and one leg was broken. He also sustained severe cuts and braises about his body. The injured man was Dr. Boarman, the railroad com- pany’s physican, and was ‘afterward removed to the hospital, where he died. The body was removed to the morgue. Coroner Patterson investigated the facts concerning Bell’s death and turned the body over to his relatives for burial. Transfers of Real Estate.

Donaldson, white, and William Walker, colored, were employed at Bridwell’s bottling establishment. where they worked to- gether. They learned that there was to be an oyster roast across the river yesterday and made their way to James’ creek canal where there was a boat waiting for them. They were both under the influence of liquor, and erch had an extra bottle to carry with him in addi- tion to a basket of beer which they placed in | the boat. A start wasmade, Donaldson handling the oars until they reached the mouth of the canal. Then Walker thought he would pull across the channel. They arose in the boxt and were about to change seats when the craft dipped water, and finally capsized. The oceu- pants of the boat and the beer and whisky all went overboard. Then there was a desperate | struggle for life. Doaaldson managed to reach | the shore, but his colored companion: went | under. Donaldson stood on the bank and | watched for the reappearance of Walker, but the body failed to come in sight. Police and itizens came to the reseue, and the dead’body was finally recovered. Donaldson, who was still under the influence of liquor. was given a change of clothing and sent home. Walke! body was removed to his late home, No. 1353 3d street southwest. Coroner Patterson inves- tigated the case and gave a certificate of death from accidental drowning. —— Events in the Churches. A large congregation listened to Rev.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. One of the most familiar faces in Cincinnati is “Greeny” Horn, who formerly blacked boots in front of the Grand opera house. “Greeny” is a bright boy, and as he advanced in years he secured employment to learn the drug bu ness, and is now employed at Ben Isaac’s phar- macy, corner of Longworth and Plum streets. He is only eighteen years old, but his hair is as at of a man of sixty. ‘Greeny” tells pride how his hair came to turn gray. One night, when Chester park was in its glory, a crowd of sports gave a dance at the well- known road-house, ny” was broke, and he saw a chance to make some money. It was midnight, and the street cars had stopped run- ning, so he started on foot for the dance. When he reached Spring Grove cemetery the road was as dark as could be. “Greeny” knew where he was, and visions of ghosts and other unearthly things passed before him, Suddenly there was a mysterious noise, and “Greeny” became greatly frightened. He turned and ran back toward” the city. When he reached home his hair had turned gray in spots. It — to change until now it is almost white. o+_____ Easily Suited. From the Chicago Tribune.

A Plan for Practical Education. Morrison L. Swift in the Open Court. We take it for granted that manual training is to become a fixed element of public school instruction. Suppose, with this as a ground- work, courses were arranged in the schools so as to enable a child to be present only one-half of the time without loss of connection in his studies. If the course were continuous from morning to morning, and the same course were repeated in the afternoon, two sets of children could be provided for. Suppose, at the same time, that employers of children consented to engage two children half a day each, where they now have one for the whole day; the chil- dren would obtain both education and income. The employer would be benefited by having fresher a more intelligent workers. sound principle, then, is that the public schools must develop an organic connection with the industrial world. objection will uickly occur that the children’s wages would thereby be reduced one-half, which they-could not stand. If the proposed separation that we have made of education and the application of itis overcome, the objection, so far as it is real, will di: uw. This will require a system of ‘al schools connected with the shops where the actual industry of the world is going forward, and that the most favorable avenue to thes schools. Here it shall be po: to pay his way, and very soon to do more than pay his way, while acquiring invaluable theo- retical instruction. Our national industry calls for this higher training, to say nothing ‘of its value to the operatives and emplovers individ- ually. It is stated by those who have especialiy attended to preliminary instruction in engi- neering, that three years at colleges of this kind (technical colleges), combined with two years in the workshops, turn out better men than five years’ apprenticeship in the latter. With this system it will be possible and safe to provide a sum from which to advance money to such boys as are in absolute need of more than they can make at the beginning of their course. They can be allowed to mortgage their future labor, and, since their prospects are bet- ter in connection with the school than any- where else, the security may be deemed sufti- cient. This, in the main, disposes of the ob- jection that was raised regarding the dimin- ished income of those who attend school a part of the time, It will be well if the principle of progression is carried beyond the period of youth. No one will say that proficiency is properly rewarded to-day; worse than this, it usually goes wholly unrecognized and unen- couraged. This cannot turn out good work- men or good men, nor stimulate the young. Sam Bryant, owner of Proctor Knott, has announced that his colt would net start in the Kentucky derby. He gives as a reason that he had fears of hurting his horse by so long arace early in the season, and thereby losing richer stakes later.

ONLY PARTIALLY APPROVED BY THR GERMAN PRESS, WHICH DEMANDS REPRISALS. The announcement that Prince Bismarck has ordered the exemption of foreigners from martial law in Somoa and has instructed the German consul to withdraw from the control of the administration has elicited only partial approval in the German press, The Vossische Zeitung remarks that proceedings of this sort are not calculated to strengthen German local authority in the present strained state of af- fairs in Samoa. Government journals recog- nize the propriety of respecting the rights and interests of foreigners, but insist upon the necessity of reprisals for Mattafa’s attack on the Germans, . The London Standard’s Berlin correspondent Ba “In spite of the unmistakable friction with the Americans, nobody here fears that there is any danger of the Samoan affair leading toa wer between the two nations. Germany will, in fact, make friendly proposals which, doubtless, the government at Washington will finally accept. The German officials in Samoa are now represented as having exceeded and misunderstood their instructions. But the last thing that the semi-official organs can be ex- pected to confess is the palpable fact that in the presence of strong feeling aroused in America, Germany has found it politic to beat a retreat. The National Zeitung thinks that the know- ledge of Prince Bismarck's disavowal of the acts of German officials in Samoa would come with a better grace from the German than the American government. “As for the rest,” it says, ‘defiant speeches in America will just as little provoke Germany to take any unwar- rantable step as they will prevent her main- taining her just rights, | A Diplomat’s Unique Distinction. Washingtou Letter in New York Times, To Mr. Barclay, of the British legation, must be awarded the palm for rapid dressing. The story goes that duringa recent stay in New York the subject of his rapidity in dressing was brought up at one of the large clubs, and finally a heavy wager was staked on the matter. Mr. Barclay readily consented to a trial of his speed in this respect, and, having previously notified his valet to have a complete change of cloth oe upon hi pesiciocs at his ay ments, he jumped into a carriage and drove there, changed his apparel, and in the marvel- ce of ten minutes was back 50.76, Mr. L. Main and ted into Naomi may be imagined, this feat soon bec: topic of general conversation, and opinion be- came 80 ai ided as to whether or not Mr. Bar- clay had really won the bet in good faith that it was devided to have it repeated. On this occasion the time specified was six anda half minntes, and in order to convince the unbe- lievers as to his sincerity in the matter Mr. Barclay was accompanied in his drive from the club to his apartments by a gentleman desig- nated by his opponents. This latter bet was won by the young Englishman, who, as may be imagined, thereby covered himself with glory. One little fact which has an important bearing on the case is that the disrobing process was accomplished in great measure while in the carriage, driving to his apartments; also, that the finishing touches were added after Mr. Barclay entered the carriage upon his return to the club, —00— =wAt Arkansas City, Kan., there was great re- JOicing when the’ news was received that Springer’s Oklahoma bill had passed the lower branch of Congress.
