An official visitation was made last evening by Miss L. H. Chase, Mrs. A. T. Putnam, and Messrs, Patrick Meehan, William Diericks and Oswald Morgan, representing the Soldiers and Sailors branch, W. C. T. U., of this city, to the Baltimore branch of the same department at Fort McHenry, The Washington visitors were received by Mrs. Martin, superintendent; Ser- geant McGrath, president of the Sons of Tem- perance, of Fort McHenry, and other cold-water advocates of the Monumental city, After a sup- per, served by Mrs. Ripley and daughters, an interesting meeting was held in the chapel at the fort, which was participated in by the Bal- timore Tempgrance cadets, a military organi- zation 100 strong, with full band and drum corps. A pleasant finale of theyevening was the presentation to Miss Lavinia H. Chase, president of the Washington branch, of a hand- some gold badge by Mr. Somerset, of Balti: more. There is some talk of organizing a com- pany of temperance cadets in Washington, sim- ilar to the Baltimore organization, and M Thomas G. Brown is spoken of as captain and Lieut. Daniel D. Cameron as first lieutenant, Both of these gentlemen are old soldie: have entered into the proposed organi enthusiastically. tee ee A Family Row. A WIFE ACCUSED OF HAVING ASSAULTED HER HUSBAND WITH AN UMBRELLA, A well-dressed young colored woman named Bettie L. Stewart was called upon in the Police Court this morning to answer a charge of as- saulting her husband, Charles C, Stewart. Di- vorce proceedings are pending between them, the wife charging cruelty on the part of her husband. Mr. Campbell Carrington appeared for the young woman and plead not guilty. Her husband, who is connected with an In- diana newspaper, testified that it has been sev- eral months since his wife and himself have lived together. Since divorce aon were begun Mrs. Stewart has lived in Balti- more. She came over to witness the inaugura- tion, and stopped at the house of Mrs. Smith, No. 1830 13th street. Last Wednesday night, in company with Mrs. Peck, he said, she went to the National theater. They had male escorts, Between 8.and 9 o'clock in the evening witness went tothe theater and re- juested his wife to come home with him. She lined, and after some words he left, He then went outside and waited for her. The ty, four in number, came out and walked lown the avenue. Witness followed them un- til they got between 12th and 13th streets, when they started across towards the “Division.” Witness went after them and attempted to bring his wife back when she struck him with anumbrella, He denied that he had ever as- waulted her, After striking him witness said that the got in a cab and drove off. “What did you say she struck you with?” asked the Judge. “An umbrella,” he replied. “What did you take hold of her for?” . “Because she was going toward the ‘divi- sion. “I say that you told « wilful lie,” interrupted his wife, «-do you hear that?” Mrs. Stewart denied the assault, She said that when her husband came to the theater he was so noisy that the usher had to put him out. He followed her down the avenue, and took hold of her as she was about to get on an ave- nue car, She denied that she was going south of Pennsylvania avenue or that she struck him with an umbrella. The case was dismissed, srezces con The $20,000 Surplus. To the Editor of Tur Evesrxo Stan: A suggestion from a woman’s heart, dear de- pository of God’s enduring trust of charity, hav- ing come to me, your correspondent, I repeat it to you so that it may find a favoring sympa- thy in the breasts of all your readers, It is to place the $20,000 surplus of receipts of inaug- uration ball to the credit of the beneficial fund in behalf of the poor, retired, and disabled policemen. This idea is the result of grateful memory for what many have expressed and prove a savor sweet to charity, and relief like pension to a faithful soldier's wounds and broken health, M. —_—_.__ Real Estate Matters.

The plaintift not TIT He ij ; : z i ii F i i i M.A. Newell, state superintendent of public instruction, Maryland. In the course of the paper he said the teachers should be examined, because in all professions a course of prepara- tion is exacted and the proficiency of the students tested by examination and attested by the examining body. The examiners should be Farmers sitting down — to ualifications of teachers comical, he thought, if the results were not so often tragical. The diploma of a high school or college recognized by the state should be regarded as evidence of fitness for teaching. He ke in favor of the re-examination of teachers. physicians, and ministers are not obliged to undergo this additional test, but the necessity in the case of teachers arises from the fact that young people often begin to teach just when they are in- ning to learn. It is necessary that the habits of student be kept up by external stimulus until the internal stimulus has been brought into action and the habit of STUDY BECOMES A SECOND HABIT. ‘This process of re-examination should have a definite termination, say four years, e speaker favored the examination of teachers on the subjects they are required to teach. They shou!d also be tested outside of school text books on matters of general information which all well-informed persons are expected to know. Dr. Newell thought state uniformity in exami ations was not practicable, and county uniform- ity only partially so, The same man may mark the same paper differently, according to the state of his digestive apparatus, The standard of marking must be uniform and then the same standard must be set up for ail localities, Many places that most need a teacher would notbe able to find one. Even if the salarics are Sooo the difficulty would not be re- moved for their are districts in every state in which no highly qualified teachers would con- sent to live for any compensation that the dis- trict or county could give him. When there is but one examining authority county uniformity in examinations can secured partially. But even ina county some regard must be to localities. It need not be added that where salaries differ it is absurd to expect qualifications to be the same. “EXAMINATION FOR PROMOTION” was the theme of the next paper, which was read by Wm. De Witt Hyde, president of Bow- doin college, Brunswick, Me. He said: This is a Seseond on which the greatest diversity, both in theory and practice, prevails, The ob- jections made against examinations as they ave been conducted are valid. The remedy, however, is not to be found in abandoning ex- amination. Examinations must be improved. It is an absurdity and imposition on pupils to give an examination at the end of a term {or a year, concerning ail the minute details one over in this long period. There are at jeast three ways in which knowledge may be held ina pupil's mind, These are: Simple ap- prehension, power to apply,and comprehension. Now, examination should teat all these three processes of knowledge. The tests of simple apprehension of daily lessons should be fre- | quent reviews. They should cover only a small period of work. The power of a pupil to make PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF HIS KNOWLEDGE should be tested by giving him work to do at his leisure, and to hand in for inspection, and this is the sort of test the pupil will meet in real life. It shows what he can do with hi knowledge. It trains him at the same time in accuracy, neatness and form. The testing of the pupil's comprehension of the broad bear- ings and leading features of a subject is the province, and the only province of the tinal ex- amination. The questions should never go into détails. should never care for memorizing of isolated facts; but should be based on topics dwelt on by the teacher in the final review. By combining these three kinds of examination you give every type of mind a fair chance; you avoid cram and worry; you insure an education that is thorough, without burdening the mem- ory With an excessive load of minute details; you insure an education which can put its knowledge into practice; you insure an educa- tion which om aE the meaning of the subjects studied, and you do all this without injuring or worrying the pupil; without dis- trusting and hampering the teacher. Such a method of examination recognizes that there are more than one type of mind, and more than one process of knowledge. It gives due weight to each, and holds all in subopdination to the great aim of education which is to develop in sympathy and ‘harmony the minds of all its pupils. E A paper on the same subject was read by He said: Examinations, as ordinarily con- ducted, do not give the results of good teach- ing, because they are based upon the supposi- tion that book-knowledge is everything. A cross, selfish, and even brutal teacher may make good text-book scholars, We are running wild over strength of body and mind, and ne- glecting the culture of the soul. There are thousands of teachcrs who are wild over facts, ‘They are everlastingly asking, “Who?” “What?” “Where?” “Which?” When?” “How?” Special results stand at the end of all thier ideas of school work. How absurd to judge of the competency of the teacher by the results she may obtain from term or annual examination. Such teachers givg as much time to the G. C. D. and L. C. M., gad that old father of frauds, ligation, as to the practical princples of arithmetic, fearing they may be in the oficial examination, while all the dates from Christopher Columbus to Benjamin Harrison are stored away in the memory, taking the place of better things. A child should never be refused promotion be- cause of a failure in some one study, providing he shows a good knowledge of the other sub- jects. Dr. John Locke, the author of that masterly work, “On the Understanding,” never mastered the multiplication table. I protest against being obliged to test a class with a set of questions prepared by a disinter- ested non-professional committee’ man, who has no more knowledge of the principles of teaching than has # frog of the tonic sol-fa sys- tem of singing, and who is just about as success- ful asan examiner as is the frog as a songster. I protest against promoting any pupil, be his record ever so high in text-book knowledge, when he has spent the whole year in ACTS OF PURE CUSSEDNESS, using up more of the teacher's nerve force than any other half dozen pupils, because he sat up till midnight during the last month of the school year learning the words of his text-book by heart, and answering a wufficient number of the questions to obtain his 75 per cent average. Such a system simply im; on the minds of the pupils that it is not our daily life that is of importance, but all is to be summed up at the eleventh hour. Thousands of our young men have thus learned take thei chances when they came in contact with the world; nor is it surprising, inasmuch as their whole education had tended to impress them that such is life. Hundreds of children in our conntry every day have no idea of the true value of an education, ‘Their idea of it is to get a per ination.

VALUABLE DOCUMENTS WHICH SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. A Hartford dispatch to the New York Times says that Mr. Charles J. Hoadly, the state librarian in the capitol there, is the only per- son in the United States, so far as known, who owns copies of the Weekly Journal issued by | the Continental Congress in 1779. A few copies, some of them duplicating Mr. Hoadly’s, are preserved in the New York state library, The numbers owned by the Connecticut state librarian extend from April 24 to July 5. The pages in several numbers of the Journal have not been cut. The numbers owned by the New York state — issued during the period in question, are May 1 and 10, May 24 and 31, and June 7. The New York library also possesses three numbers, Fel 1, March land 31, not owned by Mr. H nf All the numbers were printed by David C.

English Novelists and Their Earnings. From the London St. James’ Gazette. With regard, writes a well-informed corre- spondent, to a paragraph in your “Literary Notes” of Saturday, on the subject of the gains of novelists, I believe you are right in stating that the highest price ever paid for an English work of fiction was the £12,000 which Lord Beacons- field received from Messrs.

The wages for services are not es- sentially different from the price of commodi- ties. Supply and demand regulate both. Am abundant supply or an unusually strong de- mand means, invariably, a rise in wages, and the reverse means a full. w, let me give you a few facts. From all appearances there is little or no difference between the present decade of our history im respect to popular sentiment and the decade preceding. Hence, the facts of one period are approximately true for another. From 1870 to 1880 the gross increase of the population of the United States was 30.08 per cent. During the same period agriculturists increased in exactly the same ratio as the general increase, fanufacturers and miners increased in num- | ber 42 percent, while professional men and those engaged in personal service show an ia- crease of 52 per cent. Our farmers, manufae- turers and miners are practically our only wealth producers, and we find their average reentage of increase to be 36. Thus we ave a 52 per cent increase of wealth-distribu- tors merely handling the products of a 36 per cent increase of wealth-producers for a 30 per cent general increase of population, “These figures, I think, are very Faye ang What is more, they only tell half story. During the last decade—and the present will yield equally surprising results when the census of 1890 is taken—farm laborers increased only 15 per cent in the face of 30 per cent general increase. and domestic servants only 10 per cent, while general clerks and copyists show a $15 per cent increase: clerks in hotels and res- taurants, a 107 per cent increase; waiters and porters, 2 230 per cent increase, and laberers about stores and warehouses, an 813 per cent increase, Now, from the very nature of things, what must be the inevitable result of such a state of affairs upon a vast number of the popu- —_ of cities: a Simpty small wages, irregular emplovment often privation and consequent wrong-doi oe tioned An Earl Without ai From London Truth. Lord Seafield, whose death in New Zealand reported, for many years lived arecarious existence as an auctioneer, estate agent, and sheriff's officer in the New Zealand town of Timaru, but latterly, since his succession to the title, he had gone into farming. There are several errors in the obituary notices of him. His eldest son, a boy of twelve, succeeds him in the title, but not “in the vast family estates in Scotland,” which were possessed neither by the late earl nor by the father of the latter, | The alienation of the estates from the title was brought about by the strange will of the sev- | enth earl, who served for several years in the | first Life Guards, was familiarly known in so- ciety as ~The Sheep,” and died unmarried in | 1883. He was succeeded in his title by his | uncle, the Hon. James Grant, for many years |M. P. for Morayshire, put for whom the |honor was a barren one, since | Sheep” had willed every acre of the vast family estates to his mother, at her absolute | disposition. The Clan Grant, of which the | earls of Seafield are the chiet, took great um- brage at this impoverishment of its bead, but the dowager countess (“the sheep's” mother), ¢xplained that she regarded herself simply ae the trustee for life of the properties, to clear which from debt she would devote all her ener- gies, and leave them at her death to the then existing Lord Seafield. Meantime, she settled £5,000 a year on her son's successor in the title, the above-named Hon. James Grant. He died last year, and to his sou, the nobleman just dead, this allowance was not continued. The boy who is now Earl of Seafield will probably ultimately come into the properties, the rentals of which amount to about £50,000 a year, and the encumbrances on which are being reduced. ————_+ee_______ Got Mixed as to the Funeral. From the Chicago Rerald. Two young ladies residing on the North Side started out the other day to attend the funeral of one of the prominent pillars of their church. The two young ladies were sisters. One was very devout, and sat every Sunday in the family pew. The other went semi-occasionally to witness the new bonnets. The devout sister called upon the indifferent one and asked her to go with her to the funeral | of the deacon. At first she refused, but it was — that he had been a pillar af the church, and it was really her duty to pay ber best re- spects, and finally she consented to go, but with an ill grace. They started out to- gether, and when they reached the deacon's \iate residence they were sj i to see no crape upon the door and no signs of hearse or carriages anywhere about, The indifferent sister asked the devout one if she was sure he was dead, and she replied that she was quite positive, as she had read the funeral notice in the paper. It was suggested that they walk up to the house of a lady member of the church, who lived near by, and find out about it. They didso. “Isn't Deacon —— dead?” asked the devout sister, as the lady en- tered the parlor. ~‘Yes, poor man, he is dead, and he was buried yesterday,” was the reply, The devout sister said she did not see how she could have made such a mistake in reading the notice. When they got outside the indifferent sister turned and said: “Well, I've done my duty to the pillar of the church. hope. Next time one dies I hope you'll get the date right” wach st ad din Not Enough Divorces. From the Toled.
