CHANGES IN TEACHERSHIPS—KNIGHTS OF LABOR RECOMMEND THE APPOINTMENT OF A “TRUANT OFFICER" —NEW TEXT BOOKS—REGULATIONS FOR ADMISSION OF PUPILS—OTHER MATTERS. ‘There were no printed copies of the proceed- {ngs of the last meeting of the school board laid before the members when they held their regular monthly meeting last evening. The president of the board, Mr. Ross, explained that the District Commissioners had been in doubt for some time whether to approve reaui- sitions for printing the minutes, They had, however, decided to continue the old custom, and the printed minates would be ready when the board met again. A letter was received from R. M. Dawson re- questing an opportanity to present to the board his ideas about the method of teaching free-hand drawing. Referred to the commit- tee on drawing.

APPOINTMENT OF A “TRUANT OFFICER.” A communication was received from John C. Gates, secretary of District Assembly, No. 66, Knights of Labor, inclosing a resolution in- dorsed at a meeting of the a held on the 25th of July, citing the law of June 26, 1864, by which the attendance of every child st the public schools for at least twelve weeks each year, “six of which shall be cousecutive.” ‘was made compulsory and failure to so attend was made an offense on the part of the parent or guardian, subjecting them, under certain conditions, toa not exceeding $20. The resolutions further set forth that ‘‘whereas, by said act the board of trustees of the public schools was authorized to make such ar- rangements for the of as certaining whether any children within certain a ages afe not attending the public schools as they shall deem best for the purpose of enforcing their attendance and the malty prescribed; therefore, resolved, that xcelsior Assembly 2672, K. of L., do hereby instruct its delegates to District Assembly 66 to urge that body to recommend to the trustees ef the public schools the appointment of Brother 8.

For the privilege of entering into such a contract brageny yh was required to deposit with the city 300, lorins as & guaranty for the strict compliance with the above conditions. Compare this with the way our roads are managed here, particularly the F-street line, on which there are not more than half enough ears to accommodate the public, from 8 to 9a.m.and4to5p.m. There is not a day during those hours that the cars are not crowded to their utmost capacity inside, men and women alike being compelled to stand and crowd those seated, while on the outside they hang on like bees at swarming time. The trouble is that with more especially atthe present day, everything seems to be turned over to chartered monopolies to man- age as they please, and of course all they care for is to get the largest ible dividend out of the public with thi it possible invest- ment of capital. It is the legitimate result of the political doctrine that the government, national or municipal, must never touch any- thing that can be done by private enterprise,as though private enterprise cared anything for the public but to make all it can out of it. Euro- pean cities have outgrown this fallacious idea, as no doubt we willin time. The true doc- trine on this subject is that announced by the committee of the New York legislature in their report on the gas investigation “that corporations deriving their existence and power from the public for the purpose of providing the common necessities of life, such as light, water and transportation, ought to be compelled to serve the public weil and cheaply, No to do this is to turn against the people the power derived from themselves.” Itis a very remarkable fact that, while in the monarchical countries of Europe these matters are all un- der the control of the citizens, here at the national capital of the great republic the citi- zeus have no control whatever of them, nor the District authorities either, to any considerable W.

Jose Antonio Paez, ex-presi- dent of Venezuela, while passing through New York in February, 1887, the Venezuelan com- mission announced that medals would be con- ferred upon Gen. William T. Sherman, Maj. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, Col. Gibbons, Chaun- cey M. Depew, Judge Brown and others who had taken a prominent part in the ceremonies, Quite recently Gen. Sherman was unofficially informed that President Juan Pablo Rojas had conferred upon him the Bolivar medal of the second class. that being the highest decoration that can be given by Venezuela to foreigners, It is understood that the other gentlemen already mentioned will receive third-class medals, Gen. Sherman, though quite willing to re- ceive such a recognition of his services, has been led to believe that the medal must be paid for, as it cannot be made for less than and he did not consider it worth so much of his retired pay. “It is all a mistake,” said Consul General Pedro Vicente Mijares yesterday. “I have not yet been officially instructed that the decora- tion has been conferred upon Gen. Sherman, though I know such an announcement is on the way. The medal will cost the general nothing, for the diploma will be accompanied by the jewels, whi are very hand- same and valuable. The decoration was originally created by the Repub- lic of Peru in 1825, and adopted by the Vene- zuelan coi in 18564 and renewed in 1880 b; President 0. Its object is to honor cit zens of the United States of Venezuela who have done the state good service or to the cause of humanity and civilization in other coun- tries. The decoration has five classea. The first rank can only be held by fifty citizens of Venezuela, the second by one hundred, while the other three are unlimited in number. The first-class medal can only be bestowed upon presidents, emperors, kings or other rulers of nations, while the secoud class is restricted to distinguished foreigners like Gen. Sherman.” eo A Famous Parrot Dead. From the Concord (N. tf.) Monitor. George Clough’s parrot “Polly” died Tuesday afternoon, aged over forty years. She had been sick for several days and was taken into Prof. B. B. Davis’ room to be doctored, the professor having had many years’ experience with all kinds of birds. She seemed to be get- ting along nicely and it was thought she would recover, but on Thursday she @ shock and sank gradually afterward. Polly was the most wonderful parrot ever known in this state. She could not only talk but carry on conversation understandingly, and bowed with great courtesy when she said “How do you do?” and'*Good-bye.” She could sing, too, and sing well, giving whole stanzas of songs which took her fancy without missing a word ora note. She had notions in regard to the use of language, and absolutely refused to say some words, though perfectly free with their equivalents. Among the obnoxious words were yes and no, which she never was heard to pronounce in her life. Polly was brought to New Hampshire by James Elliott, and was afterward given to Joseph Morgan in Bow, where abe had F toes frozen off. She wassold by him to Mra. Thomas Sargent, whose husband kept the railroad station at Robinson's Ferry, and was purchased by Mr. Gon about thirty years ago for $20. She could talk-fluently at that time, and contined to improve until she became almost master of the lauguage. She was visited by hundreds of people annually and was known all over the tate, had all of Detroit I want.” observed a man who was waiting for a train at the Wabash MES, HAMILTON’S TRIAL, THE LATEST LONDON HORROR.

The original motion to instruct the directors to negotiate the sale for $3,500,000 was then passed unanimously. It was stated that the offer of the syndicate would realize about $83 a share to each stockholder. In addition the stock would be benefited to the extent of nearly $20 a share by realizing on in- vestments which the company had made with its surplus, This would make the total realiza~ tion to the stockholders about $108 a sha: ‘The stock has been paying 10 per cent of late and has been selling at about Ss hare. Drowned His Young Companion. On Tuesday, August 18, the body of young George Deitzel was found in the canal basin at Columbia, Pa, Orange Anderson, a colored bootblack, who lives near the Deitzel home, was suspected of being concerned in the drown- ing. Some time ago Urange had a quarrel with the younger brother of the drowned boy, and the child ran intothe house crying, telling his mother that Orange Anderson said he would drown him as he fia his brother. A few days ago Orange went into a store on Locust street and was questioned by the clerk about the af- fair. He boldly remarked that he drowned George Deitzel and would drown the younger brother too. Ou this information the boy has been arrested and a full hearing of the case will be had, the father answering for the boy's resence when wanted.

J. New, managing editor of the paper, was called upon to give the name of the person from whom the pub- lished story was obtained.

A gloomier spot or one better fitted for a tragedy may not be found in all London. THE CRIME DISCOVERED. Early this morning a police officer, whose beat is through this lonesome district, detected in the growing light what seemed to be a human body under one of the lowest of these dark arches. Turning the light of his bull's eye — upon the massa terrible and sicken- ing sight was disclosed. Lying breast down- ward upon the ground was the nude trunk and armsofawoman. The head and legs had been severed and carried away, if, indeed, the tragedy had occurred on the spot, and a bat- tered and bloody chemise was thrown over the —- policeman blew his whistle as a signal for the murderer to get out of the way, and, after abundant time had elapsed for any one to escape from the ase, petnfoceigs the police formed a cordon around the spot and a search was made, with the result that three drunken sailors were found in a state of alcoholic coma under the next arch, whose condition effectu- ally exculpated them from any complicity in the crime. The reporters were carefully ex- cluded from the spot and the marvelous asinity of the London police force brought to bear upon the case. The result is that this, the ninth murder within a period of eighteen months in Whitecha; mystery as the other eight. PLENTY OF POLICE. This part of London is teeming with de- tectives and policemen. A base-ball player could throw a stone from the spot where the Berners-street murder was committed by “Jack the Ripper,” September 80, last year, to the arch where the body was fonnd this morning, and from the arch he might throw another stone into the Leman street police station, and yet right through these swarming detectives and \eragcery somebody had brought that dead body and thrown it under the arch, or else the murder was committed on that spot and the head and arms taken away. The only reason for doubting the accuracy of the first theory is that the police hold to it. The body is evidently that of a young woman be- tween twenty and thirty years ofage, and there is absolutely nothing about it in its mutilated state to give the slightest cue to its identity. The bands are not those of a working woman, but there are no marks upon the fingers by which it could be conjectured whether or not she had ever worn a wedding ring. She was undoubtedly one of the unfortunates who patrol the streets of Whitechapel. This is evidently not one of Jack the Ripper’s crim d neither was that artist responsible for tl revious murder in Castle Alley on July 16 last. ‘he terrible significance of this morning's discovery that it reveals the fact that there are two series of murders being committed by two separate murderer's under the eyes of the police, in the heart of London today. This is the fourth tragedy in which only the trunk of a woman's body has been found and the head and limbs not discovered. The first was found at Rainham, where it had been thrown up by the Thames, three yea ago; the second was the body found on the e bankment, near Charing Cross, soon after; the third was the trunk found in’ Battersca Park last spring, the legs of which were atterwards cast up by the Thames, In these three in- stances the bodies have remained unidentified, and the heads have never been found. TWELVE MURDERS IN ALL. The present case will, doubtless, be identical, as the prevailing theory is that tl murderer bludgeons his victims and then severs and burns the heads, throwing what other members he is unable to ae of otherwise into the ‘Thames, Four undetected murders, therefore, lie at the door of this savi The seven mur- ders in which abdominal lacerations occurred between April 3 and November 9, 1888, may be attributed to the Ripper, and the one of July 16 last to a vulgar imitator of the eyiscerator. In all there have been twelve murders, in cir- cumstances which should render the perpetra- tors usually easy of detection, but to whom the police have not the slightest clue, The London newspapers picture Whitechapel a tate of panies excitement today. Whitechapel, however, is in a state of torpor. The people have become so accustomed to these tragedies that they cease to excite any- thing more than a mild interest and a vague wonder in the minds of street-walkers as to which one will be taken next. When your correspondent visited Pinchin street under the railway arch at midnight tonight, a crowd had gathered about the police cordon, which for some inscrutable reason is drawn about the spot where the body was found. Numbers of women lay asleep on the side- walk and others were talking and jesting with the policemen, but the great body of men, women and children only stared apathetically at the black hole where the bloody trunk was found, and perhaps found a species of gratifi- cation in conjuring up the probable details of the crime in their morbid imaginations. The police are as much in the dark now as they were when the body was found this morning, or when the eleven other bodies were found on eleven other mornings. a A Royal Lesson. From the Cape Town Argus. Donna Christina has begun at Aranjuez to initiate her son in his royal duties, taking him often to see an institution founded by the late king—an asylum for the orphans of officers and non-commissioned officers who have died in service, The crown gave up one of the largest buildings on the royal domain for this asylum, where several hundred orphans of both sexes are brought up at the expense of the state and with money contributed by the royal family and by officers of every branch of the service, e boys are trained for the army, navy or some profession. The girls are educated to become teachers and governesses.
